God you're huge!(48 Posts)
Firstly, I am over the moon to be pregnant , very proud of and in love with my bump, stretch marks and all! BUT I'm finding it increasingly difficult to deal with comments about my size.
Anyone else feeling this. Im 31 weeks and everything measures as it should. if the general public are to be believed though then im having triplets or labour is imminent.
We should make bingo cards
"God you are huge"
"Are you sure its not twins"
"Look at those puppies"
It does get annoying when people comment but it really doesn't bother me - I don't care what size I am (I'm massive) I just smile and nod or ask "did you mean to be so rude?" (a line I pinched from MN!)
The check out girl in Asda asked me if I was having twins the other day as I 'look so big' but ten minutes later I met my friend whose first comment was 'ahh your bump is so cute and compact'. I think my bump is just the perfect size lol
Some people tell me I'm huge some people tell me I'm small which makes me realise it means nothing. MIL has been calling me massive since I announced the pregnancy, I think some people are just arses.
Someone called me huge when I was with DH and he told them 'if you said that to her in any other situation you'd get a slap' he has a point!
I like the Sitting on people suggestion
I have had this since about 30 weeks. I am now 34 weeks. I am not joking I have this every day. At first I was upset - now I am resigned to it. I think people are very rude. Its very unhelpful and can make you feel bad for being not what people expect. Which is stupid. Because every body and every baby is different.
I am measuring 34" and really I just look like a 5ft woman who is having a baby.
However the majority of people who say this to me are in fact over weight themselves and I really want to say to them.
SO ARE YOU. I wish I was rude and could do it!
I've had "ooh getting big now!", "you're eating too much" when eating a chicken baguette for lunch and "eeh you can barely tell, looks like you've just eaten a big meal." They arent even consistent in their rudeness! I'm 23+5, measuring normal and only just back up to pre-pregnancy weight after morning sickness. Only a matter of time before I scream profanities in someone's face.
I just had someone say, 'you look like you're about ready to pop.' I've got 3 months still to go, getting worried now that I am actually too big!
Although I measured 25cm at 25 weeks so surely am fine?
Beano you are fine!!
I think people have no idea what 'ready to pop' actually means. Most people would have taken maternity leave by the time they're actually ready to pop and at that point in time you also might not feel like going around and socialising. What people consider as 'ready to pop' is probably more around 30w because after that a pregnant woman becomes a more rarely spotted phenomenon
Me again.. now the one I am getting at the minute is a very subtle.. mmmmmm.. I think you are having a girl... (I know this indirectly means you are putting weight on your arse and hips... that god for boyfriend cardigans).
Oh well, it is keeping me motivated when in the pool to do a few more lengths anyway.
It is so rude! I found it particularly shocking when it came from women who have had children - do they really not remember what it feels like to have your body commented on and treated like public property?
The only appropriate comment to ever make about a pregnant woman's appearance is how well she looks, how her skin looks great, what a lovely outfit she is wearing, etc.
Looking back it makes me quite sad to think that feeling self conscious because of those comments actually cast a bit of a shadow over that lovely feeling of having a baby growing inside me.
My response of choice became a withering look and a terse 'I'm measuring exactly right according to the midwife thanks'.
Hear hear Josie!!
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
From my boss just yesterday: so how many weeks left now? Wow, it's difficult to imagine you will get even bigger!
When everybody in the room looked like she quickly said that no, no I mean you haven't put any weight on anywhere else, it's just the bump that's been growing, but she's not fooling me
Aghh comments blah! Apparantly "Im not pregnant" one lady announced another "you dont look pregnant". Another "your not old enough to be getting hot flushes" FFS!!! Im 21 weeks and have a pretty impressive bump!!
errrrrr i hate this comments! my sister in low just told me that i must be having twins with this size of a belly, and she calls me fat all the time (and she is not a skinny lady at all...)
Just popped into work to pick up my wage and was confronted with "OH MY GOD YOU'RE MASSIVE!!!" ...... Bearing in mind my last shift was only Sunday......
I had the 'I think you're having a girl' comment twice today....once from someone who previously told me I was 'getting wide' so I agree with the poster who said its a thinly veiled way of saying my arse and hips are huge
I'm saving up every single comment for motivation when I do my post baby diet and all the people who have said these things (who are mostly all fatter than me normally!) will be reminded of what they said!
I got this a lot but I looked like I'd swallowed a medicine ball. Baby was big too at 9lb 3oz. Comments didn't really bother me I must say but can see how some might take offence.
Oh God! I'm so with you. Up until 16 weeks I went wide I had 'spread like butter) according to my Mum. (Which I didn't mind as my Mum was looking after me at the time and it was said very much tongue-in-cheek). Everyone at work was convinced it was a girl. Again not really a problem. I could still get into some of my normal clothes at that point and only went exclusively into maternity at 20wks. This is my first and I'm now nearly 29weeks. I was a 12-14 beforehand and wore a 14 as I like my clothes baggy (also have boobs). I'm 5'4'' and my BMI was 26 (but I cycled to work, ran and was generally fairly fit - ex TA). Any initial weight was due to giving up fags and having to get off the bike due to horrendous MS and a big bleed at 14 weeks. Most of my work colleagues make the odd joke about 'wide loads' etc, but they all say I'm looking good - some even say neat. I was measured at 25 weeks and I was bang on - 25cm!
My sodding OH's Mum however has just (a couple of weeks ago) gone back up to her lair up North after spending a week with us visiting the 'Bump' (her first grandchild). From the moment we met her off the train she's been on about my size calling me 'massive'. Her first phone call (still in the car when we picked up her!) was to her brother to let him know she had got here OK, comprised of her describing how 'massive' I was. I was still in the car.... B*tch. That was just the start.
Every morning I made her a cup of tea (with a biscuit!) and then cooked her poached eggs on toast (with a couple of rashers of posh bacon)... Every morning, as I sat down to join her for breakfast, she would say, ""You look like you're really enjoying your food today," like I was face down in my plate, noshing away like a f*cking horse! The thing is my table manners are better than hers! - Well at least I don't lick my f*cking knife! you utter witch. I nearly stabbed her on the final day. OH had to calm me down a couple of times. I literally could not put anything into my mouth without a comment such as 'was that for the baby, or for you?'.
Everytime we went anywhere, every half hour she would say how hungry I was looking... and every subsequent phone call since she when back she's asking if I'm still eating for Britain. F*cking cow....
(Thank God for internet anonymity...)
She's usually lovely (if not slightly passive-aggressive and subversive).
It was truly nasty
(sorry for the rant)
On Thursday at work - on way into canteen for lunch -Male colleague who is is incidentally massively obese: "God should you still be here - you look ready to drop" On the way out of canteen female colleague, mother of three: "How long have you got to go now?" "6 weeks - god you are tiny".
I think that the pp is right, that most people just don't see very heavily pregnant women that often, as we tend to be on maty leave by then - so a 30 week bump does look big to them
obviously some people are just vile and can't resist having a sly dig in what they misguidedly consider a socially acceptable way though.
I finished work at 36+ weeks last week and yes, I do look like I've swallowed a space hopper which is now being inflated a little more each day. But bless them, my colleagues did balloons and cake for me on my last afternoon, so I decided not to notice the alarmed looks they kept shooting my steadily dropping bump and merely promised not to let my waters break in the office if I could help it, which increased the frequency of the alarmed looks . It felt a little like revenge....
Omg fatandlumpy - your MIL sounds like an absolute bitch, I would have also wanted to stab her with her licked knife!!
I think when the next person does the stating at my tum/waist/bum area I'm going to do the same back, maybe even ask them to 'give me a look then' just like they've done to me

Had a Great Time on the Grandeur!: Grandeur of the Seas Cruise Review by Paula
Overall Member Rating
Had a Great Time on the Grandeur!
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Tampa
It was just myself and my 6 year old son (my husband stayed home as he might get Norwalk virus, seasick, or claustrophobic). My son and I had a blast and really enjoyed the cruise. This was a 4 day cruise with stops in Key West and Cozumel. We did not do any shore excursions as I am a shopper and wanted to shop.
The cabins were not ready until 1pm so we went to the Windjammer for lunch. At 1pm we were allowed into our cabin and our luggage arrived a few minutes later. I saw the porters still delivering luggage at 5pm so we were lucky to get ours so early. Even though the cabin was small we had plenty of storage for our things.
We ate in the formal dining room only once for More breakfast since my son cannot do a 2 hour dinner. It was good. The other times we mostly ate in the Windjammer which I thought was excellent. There was always alot of variety and lots of desserts too. I could always get milk for my son by asking since they don't keep it out.
We also tried the burgers and pizza in the Solarium which were also good. Also, in the Solarium you can always help yourself to ice water, ice tea, and lemonade. Near the outdoor pool was a frozen yogurt machine which we visited everyday.
I used the laundry service on the ship and found it to be reasonably priced and they did a good job on the clothes. We did not use the spa services.
The Royal Caribbean singers and dancers were good. We also attended a lecture on how to shop in Key West where they try to sell you a $25 package containing a map and coupons and maybe a book. All you have to do to shop in Key West is walk down Duval street. I could not believe that people were paying money for their package. On the last night we attended a show with the Royal Caribbean singers and dancers and they were trying to sell us a DVD of the cruise. I didn't see a magician or juggler advertised on this cruise like some other posters have mentioned.
At night after dinner we would walk around the ship visiting the shops and listening to the live music in the centrum. They had some excellent musicians onboard. There was also a band that would play by the pool sometimes and they were good as well.
One evening we had our picture taken in the centrum. They were 8x10 and they wanted $20 each which I thought was expensive. I was able to bargain with the person in the photo shop and offered him $30 for two 8x10s and he let me have them for that price.
Our last full day on the ship was a sea day and they had a nacho bar by the pool which was really good. We had no problem finding deck chairs. There were plenty.
My son went to the Ocean club a couple of times and enjoyed it. They have different activities for the kids like art projects and classes.
On the last day we were supposed to be out of our cabin by 8am. I overslept and someone banged on our door at 8:15am. We finally got out at 8:30am. I had ordered some cold items (yogurt, milk, cereal) for breakfast from room service the night before. The ice bucket worked great for storing the cold things. Room service ends at 2am on the last day and the restaurants stop serving at 8:30am.
There is no self assist with luggage in Tampa so you have to wait for your color to be called before you can leave the ship. I had asked the night before what time our color would be called. They told me 9:20am and we were called at exactly that time.
We took Tampa Bay Shuttle back to the hotel where we would stay one more day before going home. They have shuttles waiting right outside when you come out with your luggage. It cost $18 for one adult and one child to go to a hotel near the airport. I think for one adult the price would be $11 to the airport. The cruise line was advertising shuttle tickets to the airport for $19.50 for one person so it is much cheaper to book your own transportation.
This was our first cruise so we don't have anything to compare it to. My son and I both really enjoyed it and cannot wait to take another Royal Caribbean cruise. Less

As per an article printed in the Reading Eagle on 3-14-16 divers stopped searching for the body of a crewman on a sunken tugboat after the tugboat crashed into a barge that was near the new Tappan Zee bridge which is being constructed.2 crewmen have been found so far.Grim news but this just goes to show accidents can happen in bridge building zones.
NY state officials are contemplating the idea of converting the current Tappan Zee Bridge into a pedestrian walkway after it�s highway bridge replacement is built.
By PETER APPLEBOME
Published: February 22, 2012
It seemed quixotic at first, but maybe the idea of turning the Tappan Zee Bridge into a walkway after a new bridge is built is not so far fetched after all.
State officials said Wednesday that they were exploring the possibility of turning the three-mile-long bridge into a route for pedestrians and bicyclists along the lines of the High Line on the West Side of Manhattan, or the equally successful Walkway Over the Hudson linking Poughkeepsie and Highland.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and aides said at a cabinet meeting in Albany that it would cost $150 million to demolish the existing bridge, which carries the New York State Thruway, so turning it into a walkway connecting Rockland and Westchester Counties was worth exploring.
�Could you leave it up, and what are the economics and the practicalities of that?� Mr. Cuomo said at the meeting. �It�s an exciting option.�
After more than 10 years of study, building a new bridge finally seemed to reach critical mass last fall when it was one of 14 projects chosen by the Obama administration for expedited federal review and approval � possibly allowing work on a new $5 billion bridge to begin as early as spring 2013. The bridge is 56 years old � 6 years past its anticipated life span � and needs $50 million in maintenance and repairs annually.
After the project was announced, the idea of preserving the old bridge was raised by Paul Feiner, the Greenburgh town supervisor, who proposed a walkway. The idea immediately gained support from biking and pedestrian groups. In January, the newly formed Tappan Bridge Park Alliance said that a walkway �would generate economic and community development to the region by providing a world-class destination and a much needed open space in the congested Lower Hudson Valley.�
My grandfather "Henry Fredrickson" also helped build this bridge. Do you know the Ironworkers Union that was used to build the bridge? I would also like to see some pictures.
My grandfather, Aldo "Otto" Saporito, helped build this bridge. Would you happen to have any historical photos of it being built?
Thank you,
Angela Saporito Farnham

Language philosophy for bloggers?
No, not for bloggers — for developers! Either way I must be kidding, eh? I planned to write about this for several days, but always got caught up with something else. Then last night and today I was perusing the hu_HU.po file for WordPress (simply put: the Hungarian translation file) and I found myself right in the middle of what might be called the application of theory. Here was the l10n process in its full grandeur…
(If you are not familiar with this term, please read the about page.)
Once I've asked the developer of a script: "In which language was the program written?"
"PHP" he said.
"No, no… I am referring to the real language in which you think and write" I said.
"It doesn't matter" he answered. "You just have to translate all the messages and stuff and you are ready to go in any language."
I wish it would be that simple!
Of course, being a linguist (of a kind) when I say language I am thinking about what the programmers call natural language. Not only that, but when I am working on localization files I'm always getting close to admit that the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is damn right! You can check out on Wikipedia a very clever academic entry about this theory (SWH), however if you find it too intense, here is a lighter version of it. Actually Sapir and Whorf never postulated the "hypothesis" which is linked to their names, especially not in the so-called strong or extreme version, also known as linguistic determinism. As you can guess, it states that our thinking is determined by language. (If you google the term, you can find a lot of pro and con articles.) In its milder form, the weak or moderate theory says that our thinking or the way we see the world may be influenced by the language we speak. More exactly, the emphasis is on "the way we see the world". For many years the SWH used to be an outcast in academic circles, but yesterday I just came across this article in New Scientist: Language may shape human thought.
I for one would quote only one sentence by Whorf, and it is taken exactly from the same paragraph that is so widely cited all over the web. It says: "We dissect nature along lines laid down by our native languages…" [emphasis mine!] In other words we could say we categorize the surrounding world according to the categories that exist in the language we speak. (Which is — as the cultural anthropologists would call it — the taxonomy of any given culture.)
What the heck has this to do with software development – one may ask. Well, do you still remember my conversation with that developer? Which language…? Because I remember it all the time. If I have to translate your code, I can tell you exactly what limitations your "categories" have. (Make no mistake: the way I see the world is also influenced — should I say limited? — by the language I speak.) So, here is exactly the link between Sapir-Whorf and writing code. Because, as I stated elsewhere, the internationalization of a software starts at the developers' end. In plain English it means that the code is prepared properly to be translated into any other language or, to use the dev lingo, it is prepared for localization.
Now based on my experience the majority of developers would be a living proof for the extreme version of the SWH – and according to that they are in the prison of their own languages. Others use the word "strait-jacket"…

After being red carded in the World Cup semi-final against France, Warburton was again left helpless when a dead leg ruled kept him sidelined during the second half.
And he was forced to watch his troops regain the lead only to lose it again heading into the final stages.
But after taking the kicking tee from Rhys Priestland, Leigh Halfpenny made himself the hero with a last-gasp penalty to make amends for his miss in the World Cup semi-final against France, to the delight of his Blues teammate Warburton.
He said: "I see Leigh after training for ages out on the pitch and he bangs them over all day long but it's a bit different when you have 50,000 Irishmen against you.
"But he deserves that because I knew he was gutted about the [2011 World Cup] semi-final miss.
"Sitting on the sidelines knowing you can't do anything was a disappointing. It was agonising but I'm delighted with the players.
"I thought we were really smart in the second half, even with a player down you saw the backs putting the ball in place to get our big guys involved to carry the ball forward.
"People like George [North] came in, Jamie [Roberts] ran hard and it made a massive difference in the second half and I thought we showed a lot of maturity especially with a man down."

THE tobacco industry's multimillion-dollar campaign against the Australian government's plain pack measures comes amid evidence of the growing worldwide distaste for smoking.
A World Health Organisation report released yesterday on the ''global tobacco epidemic'' finds that more than half the world's population, 3.8 billion people, live in countries with at least some form of anti-smoking measure such as health warnings on cigarette packs, cigarette taxes and anti-tobacco mass-media campaigns.
The report cites the campaign by the tobacco companies in Australia against the increased cigarette tax and plain package measures, including messages inserted into cigarette packs urging smokers to complain to the government.
That generated about 1000 emails, about 200 of which were of questionable origin, a government spokesman said. That was ''relatively few'' given there were about 3 million smokers in Australia.
The escalating drive against smoking includes revealing videos in India showing lurid footage of patients who have had to undergo radical mouth and throat surgery as a result of cancer caused by the common practice of chewing tobacco.
In Uruguay the repellent images of mouth cancer cover most of the package and make Australia's warning pictures seem tame.
In contrast to Australia's disease-dominated campaign messages however, the Uruguay campaign also focuses on an unwanted social evil: ''You smoke, you stink. Smoking causes bad breath, tooth staining and unpleasant smell.''
Uruguay faces a similar legal action from the industry to that being brought against the Australian government - the claim that plain packaging laws would violate a trade treaty with Hong Kong.
In Uruguay's case the tobacco industry is claiming that the graphic images on cigarette packs violate that country's investment agreement with Switzerland.
In Turkey, radio and television stations are required to provide a minimum 90 minutes of free airtime every month for anti-smoking programming. The law has been tightened to ensure that 30 minutes of that is in prime time after stations tended to broadcast the segments early in the morning or late at night.
The power of the tobacco lobby has been at play in recent decades in the United States, one of the early movers on cigarette pack health warnings. But the US has fallen behind as a trendsetter and only next year will introduce graphic images on packs.
The WHO report says there are 425 million people in 19 countries, about 6 per cent of the world's population - where bans on tobacco marketing are now in place. Of those countries nearly all are low or middle-income countries.
Nevertheless, WHO says, the tobacco epidemic continues to expand because of marketing, population growth in countries where tobacco use is increasing and the ''extreme addictiveness'' of nicotine.

I'm a pretty well rounded person I love to work out and be active, and weight lifting is quite the catharsis for me. I also love staying in and playing a video game with friends, or watching a movie. I'm kinda that weird grey area between total nerd and active jock. Ill talk about sports fitness just as much as ill talk about pop trivia.
I paint, I draw, I sometimes volunteer my time for different community plays. I've played guitar for ten years now, and am learning drums.I love listening an create music more than anything. Lately I've been building my own furniture.
I love animals and desperately want to get a dog. His name will be gustave; goose for short (so I can make top gun references). I want to learn yoga and really wish I could write better, I've never really found my voice in that medium (not to mention that grammar and spelling elude me no matter how much I try to improve on it)
In my spare time I play music, lift weights, and brew my own beer, grow bonsai, build furniture, build guitar pedals, draw, and basically any hobby I get my hands on
That and my beard, it's pretty awesome
Movies: lucky number Slevine (way too underrated of a movie), In Bruge, lord of the rings, princess bride, anything Mel Brookes, the borne series, this list is to big for this, chances are i can share common ground with pretty much anybody
Music: Anything from Fats Domino to Iron Maiden to Bach to busdriver. I listen to everything. Ill find what I like in any genre. Points to you if you know who protest the hero is. If you actually like them, then we may be best friends. (I never expect anyone to like them however)
and at least A guitar


text: I've been spending a lot of time recently reflecting on the Internet of Things (IOT) and puzzling over exactly what the implications are for the building operations industry. The main theme of most definitions of IOT is connected/integrated devices that share information. Connecting IOT devices actually strikes me as one of the least disruptive aspects of IOT. In the building controls world we've been connecting and integrating devices that generate lots of data for a long time. Sure, it's getting a lot easier to connect things and sensors are increasingly diverse and inexpensive, but this aspect is not really transformational. So if it's not the devices themselves, what is it about IOT that is transformational?

Johnny Depp 'Adopted' By Comanche Nation
"Wait. For real? Like the baking powder?"
While Johnny Depp may or may not have based part of his Tonto performance on Marilyn Manson, he definitely based it off a painting by an artist who literally just makes up his own Indian outfits because his historical research stops around, "Eh, they probably liked birds." But surprisingly this was enough to make Johnny Depp an honorary member of the Comanche tribe which he immediately jumped at because, holy shit, has he been talking out his ass about knowing anything about Indians outside of Marlon Brando's mumblings through a mouthful of food. "Joffy, fa fing you goffa fo afout Findians is fere's fot fefough futter on fese froisssants." Via Jezebel:
[L]ast week, LaDonna Harris, a Comanche and president of Americans for Indian Opportunity, invited Depp to join the tribe.
"I reached out, and Johnny was very receptive to the idea," she told the website Indian Country. He seemed proud to receive the invitation, and we were honored that he so enthusiastically agreed."
Depp was inducted into the Comanche Nation. According to The Hollywood Reporter:
The ceremony took place at Harris's home, and Depp gave gifts to the attendees, as per tradition.
"Welcoming Johnny into the family in the traditional way was so fitting," Harris said. "He's a very thoughtful human being, and throughout his life and career, he has exhibited traits that are aligned with the values and worldview that Indigenous peoples share."
So, wait, the values and worldview of Indigenous people are "accessories and layers are your friend?" Because I just assumed it was something way more mystical and awesome like taking on the shape of a bear when you get really mad. Or wildly flapping your arms and cawing like a bird when you lose at blackjack. But, yeah, sure, bandoliers. Those are cool, too, I guess.

Congressman Ron Paul, Chairman of the Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology Subcommittee, announced today that the subcommittee will hold a hearing to examine the Federal Reserve's assistance to the Eurozone and the impact of that assistance on the U.S. monetary system and the dollar.
"The Federal Reserve has been creating money out of thin air for forty years now," Chairman Paul stated, "and they've ramped up the printing presses during these five years of crisis--all in the name of economic stability. But there are consequences to massive amounts of money creation, consequences when central banks print money, consequences when they loan it, and consequences when banks get this money and create even more money and credit through fractional reserve banking. Indeed, these Fed actions helped cause the very crisis we're suffering from today."
Congressman Paul continued, "It is important for Congress to acknowledge this and to hold the Fed accountable for its actions, since they affect the value of the dollars in our wallets. This isn't just about the Fed trying to bailout Europe; there is a fundamental question here about what fiat money does to the economy. I am pleased that President Dudley, a permanent voting member on the FOMC, will be appearing before the subcommittee so we can ask some important questions about the Fed's involvement in Europe and what that means for the dollar and our fiat monetary regime."
The hearing, entitled "Federal Reserve Aid to the Eurozone: Its Impact on the U.S. and the Dollar," will be held on Tuesday, March 27, at 10:00 a.m. in Room 2128 of the Rayburn House Office Building.
Witnesses scheduled to testify:
· William Dudley, President & CEO, Federal Reserve Bank of New York
· Steven B. Kamin, Director, Division of International Finance, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System

Report: Tizen flavored handsets from Samsung and DoCoMo to launch in 2013
0. phoneArena posted on 31 Dec 2012, 02:18
Japan's largest carrier, DoCoMo, and Korean manufacturer Samsung are teaming up to offer handsets powered by the open source Tizen OS which will be released globally at the same time; DoCoMo is the only one of Japan's major carriers not to offer the Apple iPhone and is hoping that Tizen will prove to be a hit...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Tizen = the new Bada which was a horrible idea but hey, you never know i guess.
2. SkOne (Posts: 95; Member since: 02 May 2012)
Except Tizen isn't a Samsung proprietary OS, but hey, you never know i guess.
10. MeoCao (unregistered)
Right, long live open source
I think Tizen has great potential, but SS and Intel must build the ecosystem and hopefully we see it become a viable alternative to Android.
Sammy, please release a serious Tizen phone and not just use it as back up plan for Android.
8. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1642; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
Except Tizen has the backing of carriers like Sprint in the U.S. so it will actually be given a chance. Also, I don't think Bada was open-source until recently. Also, Bada didn't have the backing of another big company like Intel. So, I think it has a pretty good shot at becoming a major player in the mobile OS world if the app development and hardware to back it up is there.
34. PhenomFaz (Posts: 1236; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
Bada was never a horrible idea...it was a good effort that didnt last but sooner or later that way is the future. Instead of relying on android or any othe third party OS the best result in tech is always obtained when the hardware and sotware are made by the same company. the optimization done in that case is perfect.
3. pokharkarsaga (Posts: 418; Member since: 23 Feb 2012)
Android will be the king of open source mobile OS for at least next five years,followed by closed source OS like IOS,RIM & WP. Many mobile oses like tizen,jolla,firefox os,Web os will come & go.
5. kartik4u98 (Posts: 511; Member since: 19 May 2012)
Maybe,but competition is always good~!
11. MeoCao (unregistered)
Android is not afraid of competition, Google know once it becomes a monopoly it will lose competitive edge just like MS.
Tizen will help make Android even better.
15. kartik4u98 (Posts: 511; Member since: 19 May 2012)
I know that android isn't afraid of the competition bit other OSs are..
you can take the example of iOs....
ANDROID is and will be the king of mobile OS war maybe for next 5 years..!
16. MeoCao (unregistered)
I agree, I wish Tizen well but I don't believe Tizen can compete with Android in 5 years. Google is much stronger in software than SS so SS must spend billions of dollars on Tizen for it to catch up (no guarrantee though) therefore frankly I'm skeptical about Tizen's future.
4. kartik4u98 (Posts: 511; Member since: 19 May 2012)
Competition is always nice!
2013's new os- sailfish,tizen,bb10,firefox os
waiting to see which one would be more intuitive and smooth!!
19. therealestmc (Posts: 477; Member since: 23 Jul 2012)
Or Samsung can copy everything in android and put it in tinzen. How hard is that really? You are talking about a company that does not any respect for other's intellectual properties.
20. a_tumiwa (Posts: 379; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
dont forget that WebOs is also become Free and Open
6. noim1 (Posts: 297; Member since: 15 May 2012)
Tizen looks lik 90% Android Copy CAT !!!
7. darkskoliro (Posts: 1090; Member since: 07 May 2012)
actually it looks a lot like flyme OS than anything else..
17. MeoCao (unregistered)
It's no shame to learn from Android, but Tizen must bring something new to differentiate itself from Android.
So 90% is not bad
21. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Much like Android rippped off iOS? SJ klept saying that forever. I don;t mind a competitor to Android at all. Google isn't sanit but probably less evil than Apple and M$ ... but evil surely they are.
25. MeoCao (unregistered)
Man, I think what you say is very ridiculous. A person with a flaw does not necessarily mean he is a bad man. We must judge any1 in big picture and not on a single thing.
Are people better off with Google? I think most people will say yes.
26. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Opinions always change with time. More options will always be better for consumers so i would love to have more players in any segment so that none could take consumers for granted. I hate bthe notion of 3 or 4 companies controlling the world wide web, communications, telecom etc etc :)
30. MeoCao (unregistered)
Man, what if some1 says your ARE a evil person b-c in future you might change and may commit a crime?
we don't know what Google will become in the future but we can't say Google is evil now.
Google does not take any1 for granted now and they work hard to win over their customers. But Google cannot offer alternatives to themselves, other companies must do that.
35. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Can you please read the "Fragmentation" clause in Licensing terms of Android SDK and explain what it actually means and why it was added recently? I mean the need for that clause from a byestander's point of view ... we don't see anything of that sort in LINUX world ... we are only presuming google is not evil. Perhaps this could be one of reasons why sammy is probing Tizen route :)
36. MeoCao (unregistered)
Linux is different from Google, of course we wish every company were like Linux, but that's just not possible.
Google offers Android as open source, not the SDK. If open source community want their own SDK they have to do that themselves.
Google is a company and not a non-profit organisation so they must protect their own interests and we have to respect that.
37. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Google dropping support for EAS is one small step in taking customers for granted. Give them more market share and they will be next Apple ... deciding what works best for users under the garb of dropping support for proprietory protocols.
38. MeoCao (unregistered)
I don't think so, I support open and free software. If ActiveSync is free then Google was wrong to drop it. But ActiveSync is not free so people should pressure MS to drop the fees and not blame Google for some1 else's evil.
39. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Do you know the installed userbase of Exchange or Exchange alternative solutions on Linux (Axigen/Scalix/Zimbra/Kerio/Zarafa/etc)?.
All those who work on Outlook and sharing will never give up these systems no matter what google preaches and coprorates value email communication and collaboration more than anything else. So many would be foreced to switch to Windows/iOS because both support Exchange active sync. I wouldn't care much if i cannot play angry birds on my phone but a phone which doesn't allow me to sync my exchange account is a useless device no matter if the os is free or not.
40. MeoCao (unregistered)
Do you know that Google still support ActiveSync for business users and those who are already using it?
9. zazori08 (Posts: 113; Member since: 21 Dec 2011)
apple will sue it for sure.
12. gazmatic (Posts: 795; Member since: 06 Sep 2012)
Please people research before you comment. Tizen, sailfish, meego, maemo = true opensource. Android = partially open source. Ios, wp = walled garden. I have three new phones to buy in 2013: tizen, jolla and bb10. Just keep prices below $500. There is a lil something for everybody in '13. Iphone5s, samsung gs4, sony xperia, etc
13. MeoCao (unregistered)
why Android is partial open source?
18. Firedrops (Posts: 249; Member since: 06 Sep 2011)
Because while Google puts up Android source codes and all for anyone to freely download and use, Android is not fully open source because in the end, only Google's software engineers directly contribute to Android itself.
Those other millions of devs that have added features using Google's code don't get their work added into the official Android.

As far as I'm concerned, let MLB finish the World Series in spring training. I tuned in last night and it was raining. FOX kept running this lame sit-com and broke in every 20 minutes or so with an update. I don't know how many times Joe Buck said the window should open soon and they'll play.
Naturally, they gave up when it was time to go to local news.
A lot of people in those stands were inconvenienced. No telling how many had tickets for that one game and how far they traveled. Rainouts are part of the equation, but MLB doesn't do anything to put the odds back in their favor. Instead, they just keep giving in to the networks.
Here's an idea: Shorten the season.
Here's how:
1. Schedule enough double headers so where the season can be cut a week and then move everything back a week. The Division Series could be over by October 1. The NLCS/ALCS could start the first week in October. And the World Series could be done by Oct. 20 instead of starting that date.
2. You don't want to give up the gates, then don't …. make them day-night. Just do it and get out out of the nasty weather.
Another thing, what's so wrong about a game or two during the day? Schedule it and tell the networks, "this is when we're playing. We want to broadcast, show up at that time." It's their sport, their event. They have the power to do it if they want.
They just won't because they want to get every last dime from the network, and every dime costs them a little control.

Amazingly we're only down two.

Amazingly we're only down two.
Lance's injury didn't seem that bad- hope he isn't out for too long.
Royyyyyy :happydanc:happydanc:happydanc:happydanc:happydanc
Wow, anyone else realize we have been down at half in 5 of the 6 games?
Paul George needs to find his teammates, and he needs to find god - in that order.
Paul should stop forcing possession and shots. We should also stop looking to get the ball to him on every play. Let the tempo and the ball movement dictate where the ball goes. Getting the ball to Roy or West will be nice for starters
We are lucky to be down 2 with the way we're playing. Our D is uncharacteristically bad.
I really hope that Lance is ok :pray:
I love Paul George and if he has an off game, so be it, it happens.
What worries me was the look on his face. He looked depressed.
No way in hell gay keeps that up
Looking at box score, realize I didnt even notice Augustine played.
He has some assists, but he's also clearly forcing his offense instead of letting the game come to him.
Reminds me of the type of hit that tore my MCL.
We can definitely win this game of we change the pace and narrative early. Let's go get that 6-0
I thought Croshere was done working for the Pacers?
Lance is back. Phew.
MCL tears usually happen in collisions.Quote:
Because the MCL resists widening of the inside of the knee joint, the ligament is usually injured when the outside of the knee joint is struck. This force causes the outside of the knee to buckle, and the inside to widen. When the MCL is stretched too far, it is susceptible to tearing and injury.

CNN's Morton: Bush "likes to hunt quail"; Cheney "loves to hunt" -- but Kerry "spent time posing with guns"
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
In a report on hunting and politics, CNN's Bruce Morton commented that President Bush "likes to hunt quail with family and friends" and Vice President Dick Cheney "loves to hunt," but -- using language that echoed that of Cheney during the 2004 campaign -- said Sen. John Kerry "spent time posing with guns" during the 2004 presidential campaign, and that "voters probably saw more of him pursuing exotic sports, windsurfing and so on."
During a report on hunting and politics on the February 13 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, CNN national correspondent Bruce Morton commented that President Bush "likes to hunt quail with family and friends" and Vice President Dick Cheney -- who accidentally shot a member of his quail-hunting party on February 11 -- "loves to hunt," but Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) "spent time posing with guns" during the 2004 presidential campaign, and that "voters probably saw more of him pursuing exotic sports, windsurfing and so on." Morton's jab echoed language Cheney used during the 2004 campaign to attack Kerry as effete and elitist.
Kerry reportedly has been a hunter since the age of 12.
From the February 13 edition of CNN's The Situation Room:
MORTON: Do politicians love to hunt? Well, some. Theodore Roosevelt went after big game, went exploring -- a genuine enthusiast. Dick Cheney loves to hunt. There's been story after story about his hunting trips, though none, fair is fair, quite as dramatic as this last one. Harry Truman? He'd rather have played poker. Dwight Eisenhower organized a partridge hunt in North Africa during World War II and hunted as president. But when he had his druthers, you'd find him on a golf course. John Kennedy? A biographer recalls that Lyndon Johnson bullied him into shooting a deer once on the LBJ Ranch. But he didn't like it, and didn't fish much either. Though, of course, he loved to sail.
MORTON: This president likes to hunt quail with family and friends, especially on New Year's Day. John Kerry, the man he beat, spent time posing with guns. But voters probably saw more of him pursuing exotic sports, windsurfing and so on.
As Morton spoke, CNN aired a photograph of Kerry's October 21, 2004, goose-hunting trip in Ohio, and then switched to video footage of Kerry windsurfing. CNN, however, had reported on October 21, 2004, that Kerry is a longtime hunting enthusiast:
FRANK BUCKLEY (CNN national correspondent): Well, there are sportsmen in many of the battleground states -- in Ohio, in Pennsylvania, in Missouri, in Florida, in West Virginia -- a number of the battleground states, people hunt. It's a common pastime among the people in all these states, and the point here is to say, look, John Kerry is like you in many ways that you may not know that he was the -- that you may not know that he is like this. You may not know that he hunts, that he's been hunting since he was 12 and 13 years old. That was the point of today's exercise. You're right, Wolf. It wasn't just that he happened to decide to go goose-hunting today. He went goose-hunting today for a political purpose, but that purpose was to say you may not know some things about John Kerry, and one of them is that he likes to hunt.
Moreover, Morton's comments were reminiscent of Cheney's attacks on Kerry during the 2004 election, such as this comment the vice president made at an October 28, 2004, "Q&A" in Schofield, Wisconsin:
CHENEY: I think there's no question but what in my mind he is not a firm believer in the Second Amendment, that the Second Amendment is a lot more than just a photo-op and that you'll find the President and I have records that go back for many, many years that are consistent with a strong, principled belief in the Second Amendment and the right of Americans to bear arms, and that we, two, aggressively support those measures that will enhance and encourage the capacity that so many of us enjoy in terms of hunting and fishing and taking advantage of the gifts that we're provided as Americans. We want to protect and preserve that. And frankly, I don't think John Kerry -- I think he's spent too much time windsurfing, instead of hunting and fishing.
Also, Cheney's "hunting" practices seem to differ from traditional hunting ethics and practices. University professor and hunter Scott Denham wrote in a February 14 Charlotte Observer column that Cheney's February 11 quail hunt "broke several basic rules" of hunting -- too many hunters, no dog, and hunting from a vehicle. Denham noted that Cheney himself "broke some of the most basic rules: shooting at a low bird and not being aware of the placement of his hunting party members." Also, as was widely reported in 2003, Cheney and Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) took part in a controlled bird hunt on a Pennsylvania game reserve, in which farm-raised birds were released from nets right in front of the hunters. According to a December 28, 2003, Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch article, Cheney alone shot at least 70 birds, and the entire 10-person hunting party shot 417 birds.

Elisabeth De Fontenay
Will Bishop
Hello, I'm an eBook!
ATTENTION: This item is an eBook. It can be read on iOS, Android, MAC and PC's with a supported eReader. It is not a physical book. eBooks are available via download immediately after you've checked out.
Shipped from other seller
Powell's Books
A central thinker on the question of the animal in continental thought, elisabeth de Fontenay moves in this volume from Jacques Derrida's uneasily intimate writing on animals to a passionate frontal engagement with political and ethical theory as it has been applied to animals--along with a stinging critique of the work of Peter Singer and Paola Cavalieri as well as with other "utilitarian" philosophers of animal-human relations.
Humans and animals are different from one another. To conflate them is to be intellectually sentimental. And yet, from our position of dominance, do we not owe them more than we often acknowledge? In the searching first chapter on Derrida, she sets out "three levels of deconstruction" that are "testimony to the radicalization and shift of that philosopher's argument: a strategy "through" the animal, exposition to an animal or to this animal, and compassion "toward" animals." For Fontenay, Derrida's writing is particularly far-reaching when it comes to thinking about animals, and she suggests many other possible philosophical resources including Adorno, Leibniz, and Merleau-Ponty.
Fontenay is at her most compelling in describing philosophy's ongoing indifference to animal life--shading into savagery, underpinned by denial--and how attempts to exclude the animal from ethical systems have in fact demeaned humanity. But Fontenay's essays carry more than philosophical significance. "Without Offending Humans" reveals a careful and emotionally sensitive thinker who explores the unfolding of humans' assessments of their relationship to animals--and the consequences of these assessments for how we define ourselves.

For someone using even a 17inch display with 1280 x 1024 screen resolution, upgrading to a 19 inch wide screen display with 1440 x 900 is unsatisfactory. After all, the lesser vertical resolution is inadequate. Consequently, a reasonable approach is to upgrade to a 22 or 24inch widescreen monitor with 1920×1080 WUXGA resolution and, ideally, to one such as the Viewsonic VX2433wm 24inch which provides both performance and a good degree of future proofing.

USABMX Disney
USABMX Disney Cup
It was a consistent weekend all around for the Team at the USABMX Disney Cup in Orlando Florida last weekend. The three day National meant long days and lots of laps but in the end, we walked away with some great results for the Team. David Herman finished the weekend with 3 Main events, two 2nds and great points going into the Grands next month. Cristian Becerine continued his winning streak with 2 wins and max points going into the Grands and Team Manager Dale Holmes ended the weekend with 3 podiums and a win on Saturday. Maris Strombergs didn't have a great weekend with a crash on day 1 and his final appearance day 2 he still struggled a bit from the crash the day prior and decided to pull the plug and fly home Sunday morning to rest up and hopefully get back to 100% for the Grands next month.

To Our Readers:
Newspaper websites around the country have begun charging readers for access for the last couple of years, including several of our neighboring newspapers. Beginning Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2012, The Bellingham Herald will do so as well, launching a new subscription package to access digital news.
Now, it's never fun to ask anyone to pay for something that has been free. But providing unlimited access across all platforms for a small amount makes sense. It also gives us the ability to protect our most valuable product -- our content. I know it really doesn't need to be said, but I'll say it anyway -- a business that gives away its most valuable product for free is doomed.
The landscape of the newspaper industry has changed greatly with technology. The BellinghamHerald.com website launched in 1998 as a complement to our traditional printed newspaper. As technology has evolved it has become clear that our digital offerings are now just as important to our readers as is our printed newspaper that arrives at your home each morning. Before digital access, the only way to read The Bellingham Herald was to subscribe, buy a copy from a newsrack or store, or read a passed along copy.
As technology has changed, so has our newsroom. Our reporters break news throughout the 24-hour news cycle at BellinghamHerald.com, whether new stories or developments on continuing stories. That coverage is available at BellinghamHerald.com and also through news alerts for readers who want it delivered to their e-mail. The site also offers reporter's blogs, photo galleries, databases and archives not available in print, as well as the opportunity for readers to weigh in on civic affairs through our online comments. Also available online is complete national and world news, sports and lifestyle coverage from the Associated Press and McClatchy Tribune News Service.
Our digital subscriptions include the Olive replica e-Edition of the printed newspaper, available on multiple devices, and various smartphone applications.
Print subscribers who register to activate their Bellingham Herald Plus account will continue to have free digital access until their current subscription renews. Upon renewal your subscription cost will increase 46 cents per week, or $2 per month. Digital-only readers who do not already subscribe will be asked to do so at a cost of $6.99 per month after an initial 99 cent "trial" month. We also have an annual digital-only package at a cost of $69.99 per year.
Go online to BellinghamHerald.com/plus to check subscription packages and pricing or to activate your digital account.
We are heading into our 123rd year of service to Whatcom County families. It is our commitment to continue to bring you news and information that earns your trust and makes a difference in your lives. We appreciate you reading The Bellingham Herald, whether you find us on newsprint, at BellinghamHerald.com, on our mobile site, with smartphone apps or tablets, or with the electronic replica of our paper.
We welcome your feedback as we move forward. If you have questions or comments, drop me a note at email@example.com, or contact our editor, Julie Shirley, at email@example.com, or our Advertising and Marketing Director, Amber Aldrich, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

AmorChem l.p.
Invests In A Novel Drug For Geographic Atrophy
Montreal, Quebec – November 27, 2012 – AmorChem is delighted to announce the closing of a transaction with Univalor for the development of a drug to stop the progression of geographic atrophy, an ophthalmic disease.
This projects centers around the work of Dr. Huy Ong and his colleagues of t he Université de Montréal and the Research Center of Hôpital Maisonneuve - Rosemont showing the importance of the CD36 receptor in the development of Age - Related Macular Disease and one of its most severe form, geographic atrophy. The Hôpital Maisonneuve - Ro semont is a leader in the field of health vision. The collaboration between AmorChem and the university will enable the leverage of a substantial "Programme de soutien à la valorisation et au transfert" ("PSVT") grant from the Quebec government.
"We have been following the work of this group in the ophthalmology space for a number of years and believe geographic atrophy represents a crucial unmet medical need in the context of an ageing population", explains Dr. Elizabeth Douville, general partner at AmorC hem. "Access to the PSVT grant will enable us to reach additional goals which we believe will increase the project's ability to attract companies in ophthalmology."
"Univalor is very pleased to welcome this third investment from Amorchem in one of our port folio projects," comments Laurence Rulleau, vice - president of business development at Univalor. "This prove s the commitment from both Univalor and Amorchem to support seed financing of early stage technologies in order to enhance value and bring discoverie s closer to the industry. Our partnership with Amorchem allows the financing of early - stage technologies, filling a gap in the value chain."
" I am please d with this agreement with AmorChem with the results of Dr. Huy Ong, from our Faculty of Pharmacy, and his colleagues, " says Geneviève Tanguay, vice - president of research, creation and innovation of Université de Montréal. " This reflects the role of the university research in terms of discoveries, but also the importance of the partners involved in the valu e chain . "
Geographic atrophy is a severe form of dry age - related macular degeneration that affects 1.5% of the population over 40 years of age and may lead to blindness. The prevalence of the disease is expected to increase dramatically as the population a ges. There are no successful therapies for the disease. The collaborators in this project are developing a drug based on the role played by CD36 in the progression of the condition. "The Faculty of Pharmacy is working on many aspects of the discovery and use of medication, including the identification of new therapeutic targets," said Pierre Moreau, Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy at Université de Montréal. "Dr. Ong's work is the result of several years of work by his group in this field."
"This investme nt confirms our continuing interest in projects coming to us from the Université de Montréal", comments Dr. Inès Holzbaur, general partner at AmorChem
AmorChem L.P. ( www.amorchem.com ) is a venture capital fund located in Montreal focused on investing in promising life science projects originating from Quebec - based universities and research centres. The principal limited partners of this fund are Investissement - Québec, FIER Partenaires , Fonds de solidarité FTQ and Merck & Co. This fund is the latest addition to the GeneChem portfolio of funds, a fund manager in existence since 1997. AmorChem's innovative business model involves financing research - stage projects to enable them to reach p re - clinical proof - of - concept ("POC") in a semi - virtual mode within 18 - 24 months. The fund seeks to generate returns through a two - pronged exit strategy: sell projects having reached POC to large biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies; or bundle them int o new spin - out companies. AmorChem using external resources will manage the projects. To that effect, AmorChem has established a strategic partnership with the Biotechnology Research Institute in order to access its R&D platforms. In addition, to enabling projects requiring small molecules as tools or drug leads, AmorChem has founded NuChem Therapeutics Inc., a medicinal chemistry contract - research company.
Univalor, founded in 2001, is a limited partnership that offers to the industry the o pportunity to increase their competitive advantage through access to leading edge scientific and engineering technologies developed by world class researchers from the Université de Montréal, its affiliated schools and most of its affiliated hospitals. The work of Univalor's specialists is to showcase some of the most promising technologies developed by those researchers to potential partners looking for innovation in the areas of life sciences and human health, pure and applied sciences, engineering, infor mation technology and management sciences. Please visit www.univalor.ca for more information.
The 64,000 students and professors associated with Université de Montréal and its affiliated s chools for commerce (HEC Montréal) and engineering (École Polytechnique) are recognized for the high volume and quality of their research and for their international profile. Ten per cent of the university's students are from outside Canada, and 40% of res earch published by the university's community involves international collaboration. Within Canada, Université de Montréal's excellence is recognized by the awarding of half a billion dollars in funding; at an international level, it is consistently placed within the top 150 institutions in major world research rankings. www.umontreal.ca
Affiliated with the University of Montreal, Maisonneuve - Rosemont Hospital is a major institution, which converge care, education and medical research. Its 5500 employees , physicians and researchers, are working with the population of Greater Montreal and beyond since the hospital has a superregional. The HMR include a health class research. Three sectors stand to the national and international levels: the vision health, hematology - oncology and nephrol ogy. It receives each year more than 4000 students, future doctors, nurses and health professionals. For more information: www.maisonneuve - rosemont.org

Elon Musk: Boeing 787 battery fundamentally unsafe
By: ZACH ROSENBERG WASHINGTON DC
The lithium ion batteries installed on the Boeing 787 are inherently unsafe, says Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and owner of electric car maker Tesla.
"Unfortunately, the pack architecture supplied to Boeing is inherently unsafe," writes Musk in an email to Flightglobal.
"Large cells without enough space between them to isolate against the cell-to-cell thermal domino effect means it is simply a matter of time before there are more incidents of this nature," he adds.
Both Boeing and Tesla use batteries fueled by lithium cobalt oxide, which is among the most energy-dense and flammable chemistries of lithium-ion batteries on the market. While Boeing elected to use a battery with a grouping of eight large cells, Tesla's batteries contain thousands of smaller cells that are independently separated to prevent fire in a single cell from harming the surrounding ones.
"Moreover, when thermal runaway occurs with a big cell, a proportionately larger amount of energy is released and it is very difficult to prevent that energy from then heating up the neighboring cells and causing a domino effect that results in the entire pack catching fire," says Musk.

3. You'd Think That if the "Thousands of Little Cells" Design was Implemented for a Car's Safety
That perhaps Boeing's engineers might have talked to Tesla about batteries since they're using the same kind of Li-Ion chemical formula. It's apparent that it must not be a complete trade secret since the basics of the Tesla battery were detailed in the linked-to article.

Pathophysiology of GLP-1 in Type 2 Diabetes
For many years, it has been well known that causes of type 2 diabetes include: decreased ability of pancreatic beta cells to produce insulin, insulin resistance, and increased production of glucose by the liver.1,2 More recently, the role of the incretin hormones, GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) has been elucidated. This article reviews the pathophysiology of GLP-1 and the impaired incretin effect observed in type 2 diabetes.
The significant reduction in the "incretin effect" observed in patients with type 2 diabetes offers strong evidence as to the importance of GLP-1. The incretin effect refers to the observation that, when challenged by glucose delivered via an oral route (as would occur with ingestion of a meal), the resulting increase in insulin levels is higher than that seen when glucose is delivered intravenously.3 The impaired ability of patients with type 2 diabetes to mount such a postprandial incretin effect appears to be due primarily to decreased circulating levels of GLP-1. This may be secondary to either decreased secretion by the gut or increased elimination of GLP-1 (elimination occurs most notably via enzymatic degradation by DPP-4 [dipeptidyl peptidase-4]).4
Despite the impaired incretin effect seen in patients with type 2 diabetes, the ability of GLP-1, when present, to elicit the secretion of insulin by pancreatic beta cells appears to be preserved.4 Furthermore, it has also been shown that the ability of GLP-1 to slow gastric emptying and decrease glucagon secretion remains intact in these patients.4 This implies that the impaired incretin effect appears to be largely a function of decreased circulating levels of incretin hormones, rather than a decreased ability of target tissues to respond appropriately.
At present, it is not known if the decreased incretin effect seen in patients with type 2 diabetes is a cause or effect of the disease. While it may be intuitive to think about pathophysiology as preceding clinical disease, at least two studies suggest otherwise. In one study in patients with chronic pancreatitis, the investigators leveraged the assumption that these patients eventually develop diabetes.5 This study compared patients with chronic pancreatitis and secondary diabetes to patients with chronic pancreatitis and normal glucose tolerance. In the patients with secondary diabetes, the incretin effect was significantly impaired—but not so in patients with normal glucose tolerance. The authors concluded that clinical diabetes is more likely a cause of an impaired incretin effect rather than a consequence. In another study comparing identical twins, one with type 2 diabetes and one without, impaired secretion of GLP-1 was seen only in the siblings with diabetes—also suggesting that clinical disease may precede deficits in GLP-1 secretion.6 Regardless, this subject remains controversial.
The relationship between obesity and the incretin effect is an area of active exploration as well. In one study investigating the impact of obesity on the incretin effect, a proportional relationship was observed between severity of obesity and degree of impairment of incretin effect. The authors concluded that obesity was an independent cause of diminished incretin effect.7
In summary, decreased levels of circulating GLP-1 and GIP appear to be primarily responsible for the impaired ability of the type 2 diabetes patient to mount an effective postprandial insulin response—while tissue sensitivity to hormone, when present, remains intact. Obesity is believed to contribute to the development of such an impaired incretin effect, and the question of incretin effect as either causing, or resulting from, clinical disease remains controversial.

Catch a Falling Starlin
On Sunday night, ESPN and Bobby Valentine did a great job picking up Starlin Castro's general indifference to what was happening on the field. "This was a teaching moment," Valentine said, and he was entirely correct. This is one of those few areas where old-time baseball modes of behavior were vastly superior to those we observe today.

Consumer Reports: McD's Coffee Is Tops
Fast-feeders' brew beats out Burger King, Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks.
SEATTLE -- Consumer Reports declared McDonald's premium roast coffee the winner of a taste test against rivals Burger King, Dunkin' Donuts and the world's largest specialty coffee retailer, Starbucks, the Associated Press reported.
The tastings, which were done for the magazine's March issue, were led by a professional tester and included staffers from Consumer Reports' food-testing division, spokeswoman Heather Joy Thompson said. The group tasted medium cups of coffee -- no cream or sugar -- at two locations from each company in November.
They rated McDonald's premium brand the best, calling it "decent and moderately strong," although lacking "subtle top notes," according to the AP.
The others didn't fare so well. Dunkin Donuts' coffee was deemed "inoffensive, but it had no oomph." Starbucks was labeled "strong, but burnt and bitter." Burger King's offering resembled coffee, "but tasted more like hot water," the magazine said.
Consumer Reports said McDonald's was the least expensive, at $1.40 per cup on average. Dunkin' Donuts was the priciest, at $1.65.
In response, Starbucks spokeswoman Sanja Gould said taste is subjective and pointed to the Seattle-based company's sales. "The 44 million customer visits to our stores per week globally indicate that many people enjoy our premium coffee," she said in a statement.
