A Win for Colorado Habitats Damaged by Off-Highway Vehicles
State Parks Board increases opportunities for habitat restoration funding
In July 2010, in a 5-0 vote, the Colorado State Parks Board approved sweeping changes to the Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) Grant Program that will give habitat restoration and law enforcement proposals the opportunity to receive a portion of the funds collected from OHV registration fees.
Defenders activists were also instrumental in achieving this success—our supporters sent almost half of the 6,000 messages submitted in favor of the reforms.
This victory was the result of a year-long campaign by outdoor recreation groups, sportsmen organizations and conservation groups, including Defenders of Wildlife, to reform the broken system for awarding grants.
"While there are many responsible OHV riders, many others abuse the privilege, ignoring signs and violating laws that preserve our irreplaceable wild lands," said Caitlin Balch-Burnett, Colorado outreach representative for Defenders of Wildlife. "By using the proceeds from Colorado's Off-Highway Vehicle Registration Program to fund restoration efforts and repair vital habitat for our wildlife, we can reinvest in our local communities and preserve Colorado's natural heritage and quality of life for future generations to enjoy."
Abusing the System for Special Interests
As detailed in this investigative report by the Denver Post, one of the subcommittees for the OHV Program had been continually abusing the funding process by awarding OHV enthusiasts more funds than they had applied for; secretly increasing grant amounts before submitting to the Board for approval; and giving excess money to trail maintenance projects while claiming there was a lack of funds available for critical law enforcement and habitat restoration initiatives.
Leveling the Playing Field
The approved changes to the program ensure that a variety of criterion will be used to evaluate grant applications, including the need to restore habitats damaged by irresponsible riders. Other reforms include:
- Reconfiguring the makeup of the OHV grant approval subcommittee so it is not entirely composed of OHV riders
- Including a wildlife law enforcement and wildlife or biologist expert as ex-officio members of the subcommittee
- Implementing a new procedure for escalating denied applications to the State Trails Committee and/or State Parks Board
What It Means for Wildlife
In recent years, irresponsible off-highway vehicle use in Colorado has damaged habitats for many imperiled species, including the rare Canada lynx. The new reforms will ensure funds will be available to help repair this damage and give Colorado wildlife back the healthy habitats they need to survive.

A band of AFC Wimbledon fans from a Colliers Wood day centre have launched their own unique take on a classic SW19 football song.
The Big Blast Band, which includes a group of twelve people with learning disabilities from the High Path Day Centre, have released their single 'We Are Wimbledon', which was released on Monday, August 27.
The Dons teamed up with the band to record the song, under the guidance of Elisabeth Wigly from Merton Music Foundation and John Merriman from Crown Lane Studios.
The players on the single include Sammy Moore, Luke Moore, Jack Midson, Byron Harrison and Christian Jolley.
They debuted the single in a half-time performance during recent match between the Dons and Burton Albion at Kingsmeadow.
And next month, an album will be released consisting of new songs written by AFC Wimbledon fans, alongside a host of old favourites.
An AFC Wimbledon spokesman said: "AFC Wimbledon are proud to welcome the High Path 'Super Dons' to their community, and the whole project serves as an inspirational testimony to the great things that can happen when a community joins together for positivity."

Happy Meatless Monday, folks. Have you accepted the challenge of going meatless once per week? We have. Doing so has health and environmental benefits, plus, if cooking without meat is new to you, it means you'll be adding new, exciting vegetarian recipes to your regular repertoire every week. It also means that one night each week, you won't hear your family whine, "Chicken again?"
This week we're excited about a green soup. It's made with potatoes, so it's quite hearty, and it gets its verdant hue from zucchini, which are in season and very abundant right now. And the green doesn't stop there, the soup is made with pears, perhaps a surprise ingredient if you're used to more standard soups. The pear deepens the flavor of the other vegetables in the puree without a fruity flavor. Garnish the soup, which can be served hot or cold, with a sprig of mint, because at this point, you might as well add a touch more green.
Note: The original recipe calls for either chicken or vegetable broth. If you're going truly meatless, use the vegetable broth.
Get the recipe for Mark Bittman's Zucchini-Pear Soup:
Zucchini-Pear Soup
Recipe courtesy Mark Bittman
Serves: 4 servings
3 tablespoons butter or extra-virgin olive oil, or a combination of both
1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, peeled and diced
1 medium potato, preferably high-starch ("russet" or "baking"), peeled and diced
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, or a pinch of dried thyme
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 medium zucchini, trimmed and diced
2 medium ripe (but still firm) pears, peeled, cored and diced
4 cups vegetable stock, or use water
Mint leaves for garnish, optional
Put butter, oil or combination in a large skillet over medium heat; when butter melts or oil is hot, cook carrot, onion, potato and thyme with a healthy sprinkling of salt and pepper. Stir occasionally, adjusting heat so vegetables do not brown. When onion is softened, about 5 minutes, add zucchini and continue to cook until everything is tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
Add pear and cook until it has softened, about 5 minutes more. Add liquid and bring to a boil; taste and adjust seasoning. Cool mixture, then puree. Serve cold or reheat and serve hot, garnished with mint, if desired.

Light Battery "Sterling's Battery"
The monument to the Second Connecticut Battery is south of Gettysburg on Hancock Avenue. (39.80375° N, 77.2346° W; map)
About the monument
The granite monument to the 2nd Connecticut Battery stands 4' 9" tall. The front has a relief of the Coat of Arms of the State of Connecitcut, and the two sides a relief of crossed cannon barrels and crossed rammers over a pile of cannon balls. The monument was dedicated on July 3, 1889 by the State of Connecticut.
The 2nd Connecticut Battery at Gettysburg
The battery's commander at the Battle of Gettysburg was Captain John William Sterling, a Bridgeport merchant. It brought 106 men to the field, of whom three were wounded and two missing.
The Second Battery was armed with four 14-pounder James Rifles and two 12-pounder howitzers, the only Federal battery to be armed with either type of piece at Gettysburg. It was assigned to the 2nd Volunteer Brigade of the Army Artillery Reserve.

Appolo Ice-Cream
Finding its frosty footings in 1972, the Appolo Ice-Cream enterprise founded by Mr. Ewan Cheung sees its twin factories in Hong Kong and Guangdong spread saccharine offerings to enthusiastic neighbours like Macau and China. Furthering efforts with an assertively-named chain of retail stores called 'enjoy Appolo!', the company's signature ice cream confections take on whimsical forms in cakes and petite desserts with equally quirky monikers. Comforting cookies and cream dominate in Winter Delight and its roll counterpart, Happy Cookie, while bite-sized delicacies like Chocolate Dream and Rocky Road elevate familiar flavours with dustings of cocoa powder and thick, glossy glazes.
Hot summer days set the stage for pre-packed bars, where quintessential Asian tastes like Hokkaido milk and red bean, green tea, or mochi nab the limelight alongside unconventional black bean and yellow split pea concoctions. Health conscious folk opt to cool off with cups of Hami melon or Malteser-topped frozen yoghurts, occasionally succumbing to the lure of yuzu, hazelnut, and mango-peach stuffed ice cream mooncakes during mid-autumn festivals. Not content with just its sweet specialities, Appolo's frozen food section gives homebound diners a savoury break from daily cooking routines with traditional Chinese dishes like duck soup with ginger, rich lamb stew, and bah kuet teh.

'New York' magazine to finally unveil its new, subscription-based iPad app
New York magazine is getting ready to unveil its new, subscription-based iPad app.
A spokesman for the magazine confirmed that staff were given a "working demo" of the app earlier today.
Story Continued Below
There's still no official launch date, but the spokesman said the goal was to roll it out by early April.
Michael Silberman, general manager of nymag.com, will showcase the offering on March 28 at an Association of Magazine Media conference at the Grand Hyatt in Midtown.
According to an event description on the association's website, "The app features full interactive capabilities, distinctive features and unique design that set a new bar in the drive to respond to the rapidly changing media consumption habits of readers."
That sounds like a big improvement on New York's existing iPad app, which launched in late 2010. It's basically a digital replica of the magazine, and a buggy one at that, judging from its App Store reviews, and it's sold copy by copy, instead of as a subscription.
Throughout the industry, publishers are scrambling to enhance their digital offerings as readers and advertisers continue to migrate away from print.
But it's a steep climb: While digital magazine sales doubled in the second half of 2012, they still only accounted for 2.4 percent of U.S. consumer titles' total average circulation.

Training Room Tables for Functional Training Space
Training room tables anchor any work training space, whether you're training new employees or hosting continuing education classes for your seasoned staff. Two-person tables offer a manageable solution, providing enough work space for various training activities with the ease of rearranging the space. Pair the tables with your choice of comfortable seating, and you're ready for hours of training to lead your staff to the top.
Creating Training Work Spaces
What does training mean to your company? Is it presentation-style information sharing with employees taking notes? Do employees get up and involved in the action? Whatever the format of your workplace training sessions, one thing you need is a suitable work surface for each participant. Even if you don't require formal notes, some eager employees may want to take their own. If your training sessions tend to include hands-on activities, tables give you space to spread out the materials participants use for those activities. The tables also give employees a place to take any written tests that are part of the training.
Rearrange the Room at Will
Exercise your right to change your mind with the manageable size of two-person conference tables. If you plan to rearrange frequently, choose a conference table with sturdy casters on the legs. Want to push tables together to form one long table? Simply wheel them together, and you won't even break a sweat. Make a giant "U" shape with the tables to create an open area in the middle for demonstrations or role-playing work scenarios. Form rows of individual tables to encourage small group work and facilitate easy movement around the tables. The arrangements you make with versatile conference room tables is only limited by your imagination — and your available space.
Easy Maneuverability for Clearing the Room
Training is over, and now you want to use the space for something else. Clear the tables out of the room to take advantage of the open space. Many conference tables such as those from Flash Furniture fold up so the legs fit flat against the underside of the table. Lean the tables against a wall, or hide them away in a storage closet to use the room for something else. National Public Seating offers many conference tables made from lightweight plastic, so you don't have to hire a weightlifting pro to fold and store the tables.
Think Beyond Training
Be a rebel and use training tables for something other than training. The large, flat surfaces make the tables perfect for projects that require your employees to spread out materials or collaborate. Use them during conferences or open houses as seating for guests and display surfaces for your products and informational displays. Having a special recognition lunch or employee potluck? Use a few tables as serving areas for all the yummy treats. There's always a use for extra tables around the office, and conference tables work for many different settings.

Lindsay Long Creates Eco-Friendly Salmon Skin Pieces You'll Adore!
What's effortlessly versatile, eco-chic, and made to order? Lindsay Long's salmon skin bracelets and belts, of course!
-Diana Denza
Looking for a few sleek accessories to go with your cold weather wardrobe? The search ends with Lindsay Long's painstakingly crafted salmon skin pieces. Eco-friendly and made to order, you can wear her bracelets and belts with anything – literally! Since salmon skin acts as a neutral, these staples will work with the ensembles you already own. Snag one (or two, or five) now in BettyConfidential Shop's exclusive flash sale!
We chatted with Long about her pretty pieces, the importance of being eco-friendly, and how her accessories stand apart from what's on the market today.
Betty Confidential: What are your design inspirations?
Lindsay Long: I try not to pin down one specific area, because I find inspiration often comes from unexpected places. But it can range anywhere from the tiniest of things found in nature to an antique jewelry box to a minimalistic, modern structure or interior. At some point, fragments from different elements fuse together to create something new. If I had to choose one area of inspiration, I am always inspired by — and a little obsessed with — all things old and beautiful.
BC: What's the most fun part about being a designer?
LL: Witnessing your vision become reality and making women feel beautiful!
BC: What's the most difficult part?
LL: Finding the many little puzzle pieces that must fit together to see the whole picture as you imagine it.
BC: What's the first thing you ever made?
LL: Do puppets count?
Ready to start shopping? Our exclusive flash sale featuring these gorgeous belts is going on right now!
BC: Why do you craft your bracelets and belts with salmon skin?
LL: I fell in love with the texture, colors, design possibilities, and story of Nanai Salmon Skin. It's a pretty fabulous alternative to exotic skin (eco AND wallet friendly!). It's quite lovely when something formerly considered "waste," is repurposed, and given new and beautiful life! Then again, you know the saying "One man's trash…"
BC: In what ways are the bracelets and belts eco-friendly?
LL: It all starts with the fish. The salmon are raised on certified organic farms in Ireland in compliance with animal welfare standards. The skins are a natural by-product of the salmon industry; the fish are not specifically bred for their skin. Instead of using harmful chemicals in the tanning process, Nanai leather use a biodegradable substitute so there is no chrome and no heavy metals. They are the only producer of salmon leather worldwide utilizing a 100 percent chrome-free tanning process. For many of our pieces, the leather backing is even eco-friendly! Vegetable products and natural waxes/dye are used to finish the leather.
Why Lindsay decided to go eco-friendly, how they're made, design inspirations and more up next!

Letters pertaining to art training:
More about ARC Approved Schools™
IT IS A WELL-KNOWN FACT that few, if any, of the college and university art departments of today are able to provide the kind of genuine art instruction sought by ever-growing numbers of students and aspiring young artists. The Art Renewal Center recognizes the importance of providing information on ateliers, academies, schools and private instructors dedicated to the teaching of art in the traditional manner, and is pleased to list them here. The future of the fine arts is in the hands of the artists and teachers of today and of the next generation.
The Twentieth Century was a disaster for art instruction, which degenerated into what amounted, at most colleges and universities, to no more than indoctrination to the modernists' party line, masquerading as education; a farce and a fraud. Several generations of would-be artists were tremendously discouraged by what was happening in the art departments of the educational institutions from the time of World War II onward, and were seriously handicapped, at the very least, in the pursuit of their goals to become capable artists in the true sense of the word. Art has suffered mightily from this travesty.
Only with mastery of one's medium is there any realistic possibility of artistic freedom, of creative expression, and of the attainment of excellence in the Fine Arts of drawing, painting and sculpture. These doors are not open to anyone lacking the skills and perceptive powers necessary to communicate his or her inspired visions to the intended audience in a comprehensible way. Without a solid grounding in the basics, effective communication through art is impossible. Thus it is of the utmost importance for serious aspiring artists to study where the basics are taught in a time-tested and proven manner. We at the Art Renewal Center are happy to provide information of where such quality instruction may be had, in the sincere hope and belief that art can and will once again be a respectable and respected endeavor; that great accomplishments can not only be achieved, but also acknowledged as such and rewarded handsomely, as is their due.
This is our current list of ARC Approved™ Atelier and pre-atelier schools. All listings are subject to change as faculty, programs and curricula are always changing and shifting. As our staff continues to analyze and study programs of study that are on and off our list, inevitably we will add additional schools and occasionally some may need to be removed or their descriptions changed.
This list should not be considered complete, as there are no doubt others, which have not yet come to our attention. We encourage our readers to inform us of schools, ateliers, academies and private instructors whose teaching is of the highest quality, that we may investigate and confirm these reports, and add the best of them to our ARC Approved™ list as a service to our readers, in order to help them become the best artists they can be.
* The Art Renewal Center (ARC) is a private, not-for-profit foundation, that has experienced classically trained artists, art historians and scholars, whose judgement is based on years of experience and research, with expertise and standards for reviewing and approving schools, artists and ateliers that foster the classical tradition in art and are deemed worthy of recognition by ARC. Such recognition does not reflect in any way the support or accreditation of the United States Department of Education or any other governmental entity authorized to accredit educational programs or institutions. In fact ARC may be in disagreement with such institutions or agencies, most of which we believe have been warped or even over-run by Modernist ideology and theory. You should use our recommendations if you accept the principles, philosophy and mission of the Art Renewal Center.

- News From the Field
- Human Rights Watch: Protect Immigrants Through Violence Against Women Act, Other Laws
Human Rights Watch: Protect Immigrants Through Violence Against Women Act, Other Laws
(New York) – Hundreds of thousands of immigrant farmworker women and girls in the United States face a high risk of sexual violence and sexual harassment in their workplaces because US authorities and employers fail to protect them adequately, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. The current US Senate bill reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) would go some way toward fixing the problem and should be enacted, but much more needs to be done, Human Rights Watch said.
The 95-page report, "Cultivating Fear: The Vulnerability of Immigrant Farmworkers in the US to Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment," describes rape, stalking, unwanted touching, exhibitionism, or vulgar and obscene language by supervisors, employers, and others in positions of power. Most farmworkers interviewed said they had experienced such treatment or knew others who had. And most said they had not reported these or other workplace abuses, fearing reprisals. Those who had filed sexual harassment claims or reported sexual assault to the police had done so with the encouragement and assistance of survivor advocates or attorneys in the face of difficult challenges.
"Rape, groping, and obscene language by abusive supervisors should not be part of the hard labor conditions that immigrant farmworkers endure while producing the nation's food," said Grace Meng, researcher in the US Program at Human Rights Watch and author of the report. "Instead of being valued for their contributions, immigrant farmworkers are subject to a dysfunctional immigration system and labor laws that exclude them from basic protections most workers take for granted."

How do you know if a potential acquirer is actually interested in your company or just trying to take a look at your books?
By Dominic M. Brault
Dominic M. Brault is a Managing Director at
Carleton McKenna & Co. LLC
, a boutique investment bank. Dominic advises public and private companies across many industries on valuation, mergers and acquisitions, and capital raising.
Potential acquirers are usually sincere in their intent when conducting due diligence, but there are always those with bad intentions and some who are simply "tire kickers."
Some indicators as to whether they are serious are their acquisition track record or willingness to mutually exchange confidential information. Real prospective acquirers are usually willing to show how they will structure and finance a potential deal. There may be other anecdotal signs, too, such as the size and makeup of the buyer's deal team and how much time and money the prospective buyer is spending on potential deals.
The release of sensitive data (for example, strategy, facility tours, key customers, formulations, software code, etc.) should be phased until there is confidence that the buyer is serious about purchasing the company. Keep in mind that you are marketing your business to be sold, so you should share important financial and operating information in order to pique the buyer's interest.

HOUSTON - An escaped prisoner is back behind bars after, detectives said, being on the run for nearly 16 years.
Juan Salaz, 37, was serving a 35-year sentences for two counts of attempted capital murder of a police officer and aggravated kidnapping with a deadly weapon.
In April 1995, officials said Salaz, along with an accomplice, kidnapped a man at gunpoint and demanded ransom. The Houston Police Department arranged for the ransom/victim exchange in Houston. During the exchange, officials said police identified themselves and were attempting to arrest the pair when Salaz and his accomplice opened fire. Officials said two officers were shot, but survived. Salaz was also injured in the gunfight.
Officials said Salaz escaped from a Beeville, Texas, prison in 1997. State officials said Salaz climbed over three 16-foot razor-wire-topped fences.
Salaz was captured by authorities last Wednesday in Mexico.
"Salaz thought that he had eluded authorities by starting a new life in Mexico. He was wrong," Texas Department of Criminal Justice Inspector General Bruce Toney said. "This should be a reminder to those who think they can out run justice. We will never stop looking for you."
State officials said in addition to his 35-year sentence, Salaz is now facing a felony escape charge. He will be transferred back into the TDCJ custody after extradition is approved by the Mexican government, officials said.

How to Use the Images
By 1800, when Drawing 3 was created, four more wards had been laid out on the eastern side of the town and two more on the western side.
Questions Drawings 3 & 4
1. Use Drawing 1 as a guide to help you locate the original settlement (the first four wards) on Drawings 3 and 4. Has the original ward design changed with the addition of the new wards?
2. Using Drawing 3, find the location of the garden plots. How does the layout of the plots differ from the ward plan of Savannah?
3. Using Drawing 4, find the burial ground. Does this same feature appear on Drawing 3? Why do you think it was located where it was?
4. Locate the compass for Drawing 3 and Drawing 4. Examine the flow markers on the Savannah River in each one. In which direction is the Savannah river flowing?
* The drawings on this screen have a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a larger version of Drawing 3 and Drawing 4, but be aware that each file will take as much as 51 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Rainy day lace colette hazel
Added May 21, 2013
by cathytxtwfr
Ouidah, Benin
My second take on the Colette Hazel since I was unhappy with the first one I made (stiff fabrics do not go well with this pattern)
I made this version with much softer fabrics: secondhand sheets & lace – and what a difference! I love it so much more now. The lace is bought from door-to-door sellers who just walk around all day running into customers while I bought the sheets at market.
The bodice and strap area was a bit tricky because I used a scalloped border print lace… but in the end I made it work, it's just not very pretty on the inside (had to really play with the facings) but shhh thats my secret!
I took photos of this dress indoors because it is currently rainy season where I am, and the last thing I want to do is be caught under the rain with this dress!
I wrote more in my sewing journal here: http://cathywu.com/journal/treadling/2013/05/21/rainy-day-lace-colette-hazel/

SWINDON Town FC have released a statement regarding the arrest of striker Nile Ranger on suspicion of breaching his bail conditions.
The striker is believed to have been arrested in Newcastle in the early hours of Wednesday morning but has since been released by Northumbria Police.
A spokesman for the force said: "A 22-year-old man has been arrested in Newcastle City Centre in the early hours of Wednesday February 12 on suspicion of breaching bail conditions.
"He appeared at Newcastle Magistrates' Court yesterday morning and was readmitted on conditional bail until his crown court hearing."
Ranger is due to appear at Newcastle Crown Court later this year to answer charges of rape in connection with an alleged incident at a hotel in Newcastle in January 2013.
A statement on Swindon Town's website said: "Following earlier media reports, Swindon Town can confirm that Nile Ranger has not been found to be in breach of any of his bail conditions.
"Nile was given permission by the club to have time off yesterday and today to consult with his legal counsel up in Newcastle ahead of his upcoming court case.
"This consultation was due to resume today. He is expected to return to the club tomorrow, as previously agreed.
"The club will not be making any further comment on this matter."

COUNCIL chiefs have warned even tougher times could lie ahead as they backed a further £10.9million of cuts at a meeting this morning.
Members of Dorset County Council's cabinet supported a budget to go before full council next week that includes £10.9m of new savings on top of £5.6m of ongoing savings and £3m from central budgets.
Despite the cuts to services, Dorset residents at least appear set to enjoy a freeze in the county council's share of the council tax for a third year running.
Areas identified for savings in the coming year include public transport, museum grants and road safety funding.
Chief financial officer Paul Kent warned councillors that, having identified the bulk of savings for the 2013/14 financial year, the authority's attention must now turn to how it can trim its budget in future years.
The council currently expects to have to find estimated savings of £13.5m in 2014/15 and £13.2m the following year.
Mr Kent said: "Our priority must be to focus on services required in future years to ensure we can provide the most cost effective services for the people of Dorset with the resources available to us."
Cabinet member for corporate resources Spencer Flower added: "We have got challenges beyond this year coming up that are probably even greater than the ones we have had.
"It is going to be more challenging as this process goes along."
Council leader Angus Campbell said the way the authority approached its budgets had changed 'fundamentally' and warned the period of austerity could continue for some time to come.
He said: "Well into the next national administration there are going to be austerity issues and we can't see them and we can't see the scale of them."
Coun Campbell also praised the efforts of Dorset County Council staff for their efforts in continuing to ensure services were delivered despite fewer resources.
He said: "There is an awful lot of work being done by far fewer people."
The budget will now be presented to a full meeting of the council on Thursday next week.

HOUSTON - Homicide detectives are investigating after a 90-year-old woman found her 35-year-old granddaughter's body inside her southwest Houston apartment Wednesday morning.
The woman's body was found inside her apartment in the 2600 block of Lazy Hollow about 11:30 a.m. She was last seen alive on Saturday.
The woman suffered head trauma and appeared to be beaten to death. The woman's body was found in a bedroom, lying on the bed. There were signs of a struggle and the apartment had been ransacked, said police.
"We don't have any signs of forced entry," said Houston Sr. Police Off. Michael Miller. 'She was found by her grandmother today, who was extremely shocked and saddened to find her daughter in this situation."
Her name wasn't immediately released.
Neighbors described the woman as friendly but said she kept to herself.
"She always sat out at the pool," said Denise Prince. "She was like super nice and I come over and visit my friends and I'm like oh my God, what happened to her? I'm just so shocked. I cannot believe that."
Police identified the woman as Kathryn Greer Feagin on Thursday.
Anyone with information on the murder is asked to call Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-TIPS.

The Waiting Room is filled with heartbreak. It's also some of the most riveting documentary filmmaking you'll see this year, or any year. There aren't a lot of ER-type traumas, but there's plenty of traumatic affliction.
Back when the United States was arguing over the Affordable Care Act, some of the common refrains among the bill's naysayers were (and this is paraphrasing): You want to have socialized medicine? You want to WAIT to see a doctor? You want to WAIT to get in line to see a doctor?
Those people would be shocked—maybe—to see The Waiting Room. The poor waiting at Oakland's public Highland Hospital are stuck there all day and longer, and it has nothing to do with some trumped-up, bullshit, fake socialism. It's because these people are destitute, don't have insurance and have to take their chances waiting for care.
If these patients have to see a specialist, they're told they may have to wait months for an appointment. One man, a carpet layer with searing back pain, returns to the hospital to find out why he hasn't been called by a physician for a follow-up. He's told the call will take at least a month, maybe longer. Everyone waits, and then waits some more.
Luckily, most people who end up in Highland Hospital's emergency room are first seen by triage nurse CJ, who's a sort of magical combination of tough, sweet and caring. This woman has the right words for everyone, even for people who have lost their patience or are scared out of their minds.
"It's a process, though. You feel me?" says one waiting patient with a bad knee. No kidding.
Take the carpet layer. He's in his mid-50s; his house is underwater following the banking crisis; his daughter and grandchild have moved in with him; and bone spurs in his back are causing pain so agonizing that he can't sleep. Muscle relaxants help until about 3 am, but he's afraid to take a second pill because he may not wake up on time for work.
Then there's the man in his late 20s who has a testicular tumor. A scheduled surgery at a different hospital to remove the tumor is canceled because he's without insurance. He and his girlfriend end up at Highland, waiting to see someone when they know already what they need.
Amid all the bewildering waiting is the staff of doctors, nurses and social workers at Highland.
These are the kinds of people you want managing your case. They provide welcome solace when it seems each story may have a sad ending. There's endless arm twisting, deal making and string pulling to get patients a bed, a specialist or some kind of relief.
Of course, the doctors and nurses are frustrated, just like their patients. There aren't enough beds to put people in. Sometimes an alcoholic drying out takes a bed that a really sick person needs.
How they manage to stay completely professional is a mystery. How the patients manage moments of levity during the anguish of their illnesses and the fear of mounting debt is a mystery.
The carpet layer, for example, jokes at checkout about how to pay for his care. It's almost as if he's made a decision: Laugh or cry, and laughing seems better.
There's a lot of summary in this review, but all that summation doesn't cover one-third of the emotion that fills The Waiting Room. And the big question is: How can we treat our fellow human beings like this? How can we make sick people wait?
Will the healthcare law change anything (a short video on The Waiting Room website shows that the hospital staff doesn't have high hopes)?
Director Peter Nicks has made a wonderful, difficult movie, and he brings the same care, compassion and consideration to the filmmaking that the staff does to patient care.

WORCESTERSHIRE County Council's Changing Futures Fund has received 169 applications to the fund, with a range of voluntary and community groups finding the support invaluable for their future planning.
Changing Futures was set up as part of the county council's commitment to supporting the voluntary and community sector (VCS) to develop strong, sustainable organisations and the council set aside a special fund of £750,000 in 2012 to deliver a range of targeted support packages.
The types of support packages include areas like human resources, financial planning, marketing, start-up advice and new ways of working.
The Lounge in Alvechurch is one of 19 organisations that has taken up the New Ways of Working package which is provided by the fund.
This scheme started as a youth project with volunteers developing a facility they could use in the village but this workshop showed The Lounge could be more widely used as a hub for all members of the community.
Now the community in Alvechurch is to look at expanding the activities on offer to include sport, drama, music, work experience, outings and setting up a community magazine.
Councillor Lucy Hodgson, who is the county council's cabinet member for localism and communities, said: "We set up the Changing Futures Fund to enable the voluntary sector to gain new skills for the benefit of their whole community.
"Here is an excellent example where what started as a youth facility is now going to benefit the whole community and will continue to do so for many years and also shows how our Act Local approach can create change for the better."
For more information about the Changing Futures Fund go to worcestershire.gov.uk/voluntary and then click on the 'Changing Futures Fund' button, or alternatively call Suzy James, the VCS Co-ordinator on 01905 728650 or email email@example.com .

A SHAMED finance boss, who plundered almost £170,000 from his employers to keep his gay lifestyle secret, was today jailed for two years.
Christopher Graeme Brown, 55, from Grafton Gardens, Lymington, denied four counts of theft from Dawsons on Poole Road, Westbourne.
But he was convicted by a jury at Bournemouth Crown Court.
The father-of-one, who used 56 company cheques to pay off his own debts, claimed he had felt pressurised to live beyond his means after his then-wife Mandy discovered he had made gay chatline calls and threatened to expose his sexuality.
He said: "She took exception. I was desperate not to leave the family so I got into this financial mess. I knew I was going into debt."
Brown's "excessive spending" included private education, university bills, hotel stays, a Florida holiday home and dining out.
After being confronted, he resigned and later went to France where his male partner had bought bed and breakfast accommodation.
Brown later insisted he had repaid around £120,000 of the "borrowed" money.
Defending, Brian Sharman: "He didn't believe he was acting dishonestly; some of the stolen funds were repaid.
"It was a very unusual set of circumstances; he was a loyal and decent employee for years."
Sentencing Brown, Recorder James Watson QC said the theft had "involved a substantial degree of dishonesty and breach of trust".
He told Brown: "You choose to siphon off cash from company business accounts to fund your own financial expenditure.
"Your actions were brought to an end only because you went on holiday and the company brought in a new eye to look over the books.
"You were a close friend of the founding members who placed enormous trust in you."
Brown was ordered to pay £4,800 court costs.
After the case, DC Andrew Stuckes from Dorset Police financial investigation unit said: "Graeme Brown was a trusted employee who carried out a systematic series of thefts in order to satisfy his lavish spending.
"Only the stability of Dawsons helped it to weather the financial storm.
"Mr Brown had to be forced to return from abroad and has now, rightly, been held to account for his actions."

From MEPIS Documentation Wiki
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) provides audio and MIDI functionality to the Linux operating system. It is installed by default with MEPIS 7 and usually picks up and configures the sound card automatically.
A collection of utilities that includes:
- amixer: command line mixer
- alsamixer: curses mixer
- amidi: read from and write to ALSA RawMIDI ports
- aplay, arecord: command line playback and recording
- aplaymidi, arecordmidi: command line MIDI playback and recording
- aconnect
- aseqnet
- aseqdump: command line MIDI sequencer control
From the man page: "Alsaconf is a simple shell script which tries to detect the sound cards on your system and writes a suitable configuration file for ALSA. It will try to guess what GNU/Linux distribution you're running, and will act accordingly to the standards of that distribution, if specific support is available."
Run this command as root:
It will detect and set up your sound card manually; best used on machines with a single sound card. If that solution does not work, then it may help to run the next command:

I'm making a leaderboard list and works just fine, but now its getting tricky... A player is shown on the list as soon a score is submitted.
But what if I want to show all users signed up for the leaderboard even though a score is not yet submitted...
When a user is signing up a record in the leaderboard DB is submitted with "0" as score, matchid as "0" and aproved set as "0".
When a score should get into the eqation there should be a matchid > 0 and aproved set as "1"... Can this be done...
The problem here is that the leaderboard is based on the avreage score... The "0" from the signup should then not count... A score submitted though could be "0" and thats ok...
Here is what I have gor working so far...
SELECT u.fname
, u.lname
, u.country
, u.seouname
, u.new_userid
, up.points
, COUNT(up2.points) + 1 AS rank
FROM ".$prefix."_users u
JOIN ( SELECT AVG(point) points
, userid
FROM ".$prefix."_LC_leaderboard WHERE lcSeason = '$currSeason' AND aproved=1 AND matchid > 0
BY userid HAVING COUNT(userid) >= 1) up
ON u.new_userid = up.userid
JOIN ( SELECT AVG(point) points
, userid
FROM ".$prefix."_LC_leaderboard WHERE lcSeason = '$currSeason' AND aproved=1 AND matchid > 0
BY userid HAVING COUNT(userid) >= 1) up2
ON up2.points > up.points
WHERE u.new_userid = $userid
BY u.new_userid
Hoping for help and thanks in advance...
Turn your INNER JOIN into a LEFT JOIN.
Not quite... I only want the users who has signed up in the LC_leaderboard... Your solution gets all the useres from users table...
Oh okay so not all users are on the leaderboard. Gotcha.
So... (let me make sure i'm getting this right)Users holds user data. Relevant key field being userid.LC_Leaderboard holds... multiple records from an individual user containing points, a season, a tinyint approved flag, and a matchid (which presumably is a FK that doesnt really matter to this function other than to say it's not 0.)
You want to retrieve all users, that have some entries in the leaderboards, but you dont want to count the 0 entry. And then you want to retrieve... something... else? I dont get the whole up2 table bit.
SELECT <userfields>, AVG(points)FROM users LEFT JOIN leaderboard ON leaderboard.userid = user.useridGROUP BY leaderboard.userid WHERE leaderbaord.seasonid = $myseasonid AND leaderboard.approved = 1 AND leaderboard.matchid != 0;
Is where I'm at atm.
starlion, you can't put WHERE after GROUP BY
and if you have WHERE conditions on the right table, then the LEFT OUTER JOIN is crippled and becomes in effect an inner join
Tryid it like this:
SELECT u.fname
, u.lname
, u.country
, u.seouname
, u.h_index
, u.new_userid
, AVG(point)
FROM ".$prefix."_users u
LEFT JOIN ".$prefix."_LC_leaderboard lc ON lc.userid = u.userid
WHERE lc.lcSeason = $currSeason AND lc.aproved = 1 AND lc.matchid != 0
GROUP BY lc.userid
But with no luck... Unknown column 'u.userid' in 'on clause'?
Any ideas?
because... you dont have a userid field in your user name, you have new_userid ? (which..makes it all the more confusing?)
i wouldn't've done this, but since you did, you should be using an INNER JOIN
My bad... But after change it still only takes the records with no matchid...
It should take records with matchid=0 and aproved=1 but not count them in the AVG(point)?
Hope this makes sense?
Yeah i'm not sure why you did either. Personally I'd just do a flag on the user table.... but anyway!
Now I'm at....SELECT <userfields>, (SUM(points) / MAX(COUNT(points)-1,1) AS avgFROM users INNER JOIN leaderboard ON leaderboard.userid = users.new_useridWHERE leaderbaord.seasonid = $myseasonid AND leaderboard.approved = 1GROUP BY leaderboard.userid;
still not sure what the 'rank' was supposed to be in your original query though.
Can see the error from the trees...
SELECT u.fname
, u.lname
, u.country
, u.seouname
, u.h_index
, u.new_userid
, SUM(point) / MAX(COUNT(point)-1,1) AS avg
FROM ".$prefix."_users u
LEFT JOIN ".$prefix."_LC_leaderboard lc ON lc.userid = u.new_userid

er because i'm not coding in PHP i'm coding in mySQL. Silly me. Mind isnt in it today it seems lol.
Strip the max out and just do COUNT(point) - 1..... if my mind hasnt COMPLETELY left me, MySQL returns a NULL on division by 0... which would give you the difference between someone who's scored 0 in all their matches, and someone who's never had a match.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stock futures were suggesting Wall Street would open higher Wednesday despite a stalemate in U.S. budget talks. European shares were rising while Asian stocks ended Wednesday's session with gains. Japan's Nikkei 225 index rose 0.4% to 9,468.84 and the Shanghai Composite Index jumped 2.9% to 2,031.91 on hopes for more stimulus measures.
The economic calendar in the U.S. Wednesday includes ADP's employment report for November at 8:15 a.m. EST, and factory orders and ISM's November non-manufacturing index, both at 10 a.m.
U.S. stocks on Tuesday slumped as eurozone troubles continued to fester and U.S. "fiscal cliff" talks were at a standstill. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 14 points, or 0.11%, to close at 12,952.
Netflix ( NFLX) and Walt Disney ( DIS) agreed on Tuesday to a movie-licensing deal. The agreement makes Netflix the exclusive subscription television service for first-run Disney Studios' animated and live-action feature films in the U.S.
Pandora Media ( P) said third-quarter earnings more than tripled to $2 million as revenue rose 60% to $120 million but the Internet radio company on Tuesday issued a downbeat forecast for the fourth quarter.
Chipmaker Altera said Tuesday it expects fourth-quarter sales to fall 8% to 10% from third-quarter sales of $495 million; it previously forecast sales to drop 6% to 8%. The company cited weak demand for its older products.
The Securities and Exchange Commission launched an inquiry into a $10 million sale of stock by Big Lots ( BIG) CEO Steven Fishman before the company announced news that sank the stock, a person familiar with the inquiry told The Wall Street Journal. Fishman announced his retirement on Tuesday.
Earnings reports are expected Wednesday from Men's Wearhouse ( MW), Toro ( TTC), Finisar ( FNSR), Brown-Forman ( BFB) and G-III Apparel ( GIII).

Courtesy of the New York Rangers:
January 11, 2011 – New York Rangers 1, Montreal Canadiens 2 (Game No. 44, Home No. 21)
- The Rangers were defeated by the Montreal Canadiens, 2-1, tonight at Madison Square Garden. New York is now 25-16-3 overall, including a 10-9-2 mark at home. New York is now 8-3-2 in their last 13 games, and has registered a point in 20 of their last 29 games (18-9-2).
- Henrik Lundqvist stopped 36 shots and is now 18-13-3 overall, including a 6-7-2 mark at home. He is now 11-5-2 with a 1.79 goals against average, a .935 save percentage and three shutouts in his last 18 games. Lundqvist also registered an assist to extend his assist streak to three games, tying the NHL record for longest assist streak by a goaltender. Two other goalies have posted three-game assist streaks in NHL history – Tom Barrasso in 1984-85 and 1988-89, and Ed Belfour in 2001-02. Lundqvist is the first Rangers goalie ever to record an assist in three straight games (goalie games played, not team games). *courtesy of Elias Sports Bureau
- Brandon Dubinsky opened the game's scoring with an even strength goal at 4:15 of the first period, and logged 20:24 of ice time. He has now recorded five points (one goal, four assists) in the last four games, and 10 points (three goals, seven assists) in the last nine.
- Matt Gilroy tallied the primary assist on Dubinsky's goal and tied for the team-high with four shots on goal. Gilroy has now recorded five points (three goals, two assists) in his last eight contests.
- New York was credited with 39 hits in the contest, led by Dan Girardi and Steve Eminger who tied for the game-high with six hits apiece. Eminger also led all skaters with a season-high, six blocked shots, and now ranks second on the team with 76 blocked shots.
- Marc Staal led all skaters with 25:26 of ice time, and ranks eighth in the NHL in average ice time (25:29).
- The Blueshirts' practice schedule for tomorrow, Jan. 12, is 2:00 p.m. at the MSG Training Center.
- The Rangers will return to action when they face-off against the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday, Jan. 13, at Madison Square Garden (7:00 p.m.). The game will be televised live on MSG Network and can be heard on 1050 ESPN Radio and newyorkrangers.com.
John Tortorella on Wojtek Wolski… "He certainly was around the puck and had a number of opportunities to score. I thought he played hard. You can see his talent level. I thought he played a good game.
Henrik Lundqvist on tonight's game… "I thought we played a pretty good game. It could have gone either way. We definitely had our chances at the end to tie it up. They are a good team, they are a fast team. It was a fun game to play but unfortunately we came up short tonight."
Brandon Dubinsky on tonight's game… "We had our chances. The momentum went back and forth. We were right there. We had our chances. We had an opportunity to get two points on home ice. We have to make sure we don't let these ones slip away and find a way to score when we have opportunities."

AMD Announces FirePro R5000; PCoIP For Remote Desktopsby Ryan Smith on 2/25/2013 5:00 AM EST

EnsilZah - Monday, February 25, 2013 - linkIf all the computation is done on the server and all this card does is stream pixels, what's the point of having it connected to a motherboard rather than just having standalone box with some monitor and USB ports? Reply
giby - Monday, February 25, 2013 - linkIt's a solution for remote workstations, typically rack-mount, and not necessarily servers. The main benefit is that it allows IT to provide a workstation without the physical requirements of a large noisy system ever having to leave the data center, also an added security benefit. Reply
EnsilZah - Monday, February 25, 2013 - linkAh, I was under the impression this card was for the client side, I guess it's bad reading comprehension on my part and expecting a server-side card to be larger. Reply
Paulman - Monday, February 25, 2013 - linkIt's really interesting that Teridici is providing the silicon and that AMD is using them. I've never heard of PCoIP till now, but I *have* heard of Teridici. I play hockey with some of those guys on Wednesdays! Vancouver doesn't have too many silicon houses, so it's always cool to hear news from our area :) Reply
ArXiv76 - Sunday, March 10, 2013 - linkHP's got them beat. Check out the HP t410.
All in one unit that is powered from POE. Reply
RandyDGroves - Monday, March 11, 2013 - linkThe HP t410 is one of many compatible client side devices as well as the HP t310 which would be higher performing since it is based on a Teradici client ASIC (see http://www.teradici.com/where-to-buy/search-produc... for the complete list). The R5000 plugs into the workstation that needs to be accessed remotely and is an AMD unique solution. Reply
AG@FirePro - Monday, March 03, 2014 - linkright - the R5000 is a pro GPU with the Teradici PCoIP encoding chip built in. It's a single (PCI) slot solution with pretty darn fast midrange 3D performance and 2G of fast GDDR5 memory -enough to power most mainstream CAD and M&E applications/workloads. But only taking up a single slot is the big deal here.
This is crucial for maximum user density for virtual+direct-mapped remote dekstops. You can only support as many (virtual desktop) users as there are GPUs in the chassis.
If you want to use NV (quadro or Geforce) with PCoIP infrastructure, then you are forced to use a Terdcici host (PCI) card for each NV device. This takes up twice the number of slots which is not good for IT guys who want maximum cost efficiency (via more user density per server node).

What is wrong with these people?
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
First Andrea Mitchell attributed Hillary Clinton's response to a question in Congo to a "bad hair day," and now Tina Brown joins in with an over-the-top bit of psychobabble that also invokes Clinton's hair as an explanation:
And not only that, but (and I say this in solidarity, not belittlement) the African humidity had wreaked havoc on her hair. It had gone all flat and straight, which puts any woman in a bad humor. (Let's not forget: It was a sympathetic reference to the female-specific chore of keeping perfectly coiffed that made Hillary's eyes fill with tears back in New Hampshire.) Plus, the grueling State Department schedule means these days she can never get to the gym.
Believe it or not, that isn't any crazier than the rest of Brown's fevered imaginings.
And like Maureen Dowd, Brown expects us to believe that Hillary Clinton's response was caused in part by her annoyance at Bill Clinton celebrating his birthday "at such a fancy, high-priced restaurant as Craftsteak?" I'll say this again: Yes, Craftsteak is obscenely expensive, but I'm pretty sure the Clintons, worth tens of millions of dollars, can cover a dinner there.
Is there some of Mad-Libs book of pre-fabricated insanely speculative columns about the Clintons these people all picked up at a mid-1990s CPAC convention? If so, how was I not aware of it earlier?
Anyway, all of this crazytalk about flat hair and expensive steaks is as unnecessary as it is implausible. I'm not saying Clinton was right to respond the way she did -- but her response was perfectly understandable based on nothing more than the content of the question as it was relayed to her. There's really no need to invent some fantasy in which she was cranky because her husband sprung for the Kobe beef on his birthday.

It's rare enough when a restaurant features one ingredient, but when the name of that ingredient is also in the name of the restaurant, well, that's a bold move.
Therein lies the marketing strategy of Saloon on Calhoun with Bacon. That's right, they love bacon - because they know that lots of customers love bacon as well.
Located at the northeast corner of Capitol Drive and Calhoun Road in Brookfield, Saloon on Calhoun with Bacon is in the US Bank Building parking lot. It was opened one year ago by owner Dave Dayler. Jennine Paoli is the general manager, having also worked in that same location for several years.
"We are a bar first and then a restaurant, but we're changing that around," Paoli said. "People are falling in love with our food because it's far above pub fare."
Admittedly, Saloon on Calhoun with Bacon is a sports bar, but the menu is extensive enough (and unique enough with the bacon twist) that most will find something to satisfy their appetite.
Some of the most popular dishes include the All Star Burgers ($6.50 to $8) and the Grown Up Grilled Cheese ($7.50). Any dish can be served with or without bacon ... including some of the drinks! Also popular are Louie's Championship Wings ($8), which feature handmade sauces and come in different levels of spiciness.
And if you really love bacon, you might want to check out happy hour, from 4 to 7 p.m. weekdays, which features all-you-can-eat bacon. (Cardiologist not included.)
"We are a fun sports bar," Paoli said. "We call ourselves the Brookfield 'Cheers' because I know all the regulars. I want everyone to come out, have a blast and experience consistency, quality and cleanliness."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Penn used bonus points to down Harvard in Cambridge, riding a first period pin from Ken Bade and a first period tech fall from No. 17 Casey Kent to knock off the Crimson, 23-12.
Bade capped a crazy first period with the fall at 1:28, reversing Jeff Ott to his back after Ott had reversed Bade following a takedown. The fall was the third of Bade's season and his second dual-meet pin of his freshman season.
Kent would cap a three-match run for the Quakers in the middleweights with a dominant 16-0 technical fall over Brennan Smith in 2:47. Kent scored an early takedown and then went to work on top to the tune of five sets of backpoints for his third tech fall of the season. Kent now has six bonus-point wins and nine of his 14 wins have been shutouts.
The Quakers head to Providence for a Saturday dual with Brown. The Ivy League weekend finishes with a 2 p.m. dual with the Bears in the Pizzitola Sports Center.
A full recap will follow shortly.

A PERVERTED pensioner who sexually attacked five young girls in about a decade is facing jail, at Burnley Crown Court.
Albert Clarke, now 67, last Friday admitted one count of indecency with a child, five charges of sexual assault on a child under 13 and six allegations of assault on a child under 13 by penetration. The offences took place between 2003 and last year and the charges are specimens.
Clarke, of Colne Road, Burnley, was ordered to sign the Sexual Offenders Register. He had no previous convictions and his barrister David Pojur told the hearing the defendant had "led a blameless life" until the offences.
Clarke was conditionally bailed until March 7, for a pre-sentence report. He must tell the police of any change of address, report to Burnley Police Station on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, must not contact named individuals and is banned from having contact with any child under 16, unless under the direct supervision of an adult with full knowledge of his guilty pleas.

Chronodeco - Custom made chronographs & watches
Here's an interesting concept, Chronodeco, a small American watch company created by metallurgical engineer Craig Bergsma, features NOS (new old stock) movements. This means that all of the parts in the watch excluding the crystal and the strap have been in storage for at least 50 years and never used. Because the watches are composed of old stock there is always a limited edition of each version. The Positano, named for Bergsma's recent trip to the Italian town, has a 38mm pink gold-filled case with deco designed lugs and a stainless steel snap back. There are just 20 watches available, 12 silver dials and eight black dials. Each one is numbered on the inside of the back and has a Certificate of Authenticity. The watches sell for $695 each. All of Bergsma's previous editions have sold out quickly and this one will probably disappear fast too.

In the United States, treating scabies with ivermectin is
considered an
unlabeled use of the medicine.
Ivermectin is a prescription medicine
taken as a pill to kill
scabies mites and their eggs.
Doctors may prescribe ivermectin to
treat a scabies infestation in certain situations.
Ivermectin is usually not used for children younger than 5
or for pregnant women, because its safety in these children is not known.1
Ivermectin is effective for treating
scabies.2 One dose may be
all that is needed, although sometimes a second dose is given a week or two
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug
Reference is not available in all systems.)
Take this medicine on an empty stomach with a glass of water.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Women who use this medicine during pregnancy have a slightly higher chance of having a baby with birth defects. If you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant, you and your doctor must weigh the risks of using this medicine against the risks of not treating your condition.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.
