Cigna Health Insurance Complaint -
Review by
After cancer surgery I contacted Cigna to get pre-approved for purchasing a specific L7900 Durable Medical device. I was told it was approved and I should find an in-network provider by calling a long list of names. After much effort and research I found an in-network company that provided the device. Based on Cigna stating the covered the device I then purchased it. But now Cigna denies the claim and states the L7900 Durable Medical device is not covered by my expensive PPO health insurance. I appealed the denial and they still denied the claim. I did everything I was supposed to do by getting pre-approved yet they still denied it. Cigna never called back when they said they would and dragged this process out for 4 months. I could attempt a second appeal but I can already tell Cigna is so screwed up and fraudulent that the appeal would be denied.
was so much better to deal with and I will be going back to them during my company's annual health choice. I am stuck paying for this device even though I would have purchased another device at a lower cost if I knew it was not covered. I don't have the time to get a lawyer and document everything that has happened, but from what I'm reading about Cigna someone should file a class action lawsuit about fraudulently misleading customers. The company is incompetent and has fraudulently misled me into making the wrong decision. Worse, they do not acknowledge their mistake and try to repair the damage done. This is the first time I've ever been so disgusted with a company that I found it necessary to file a negative report and I've been around 50 years. It is unfair to unsuspecting innocent people that unwittingly may get insurance through Cigna. DO NOT GET INSURANCE THROUGH CIGNA!!! You will regret it!!!! DO NOT INVEST IN CIGNA STOCK. Eventually Cigna's incompetence and fraud will be well known and the company will face its demise.

Abyei Residents Vote On Sudan-South Sudan Choice
Photo: AP Photo/Mackenzie Knowles-Coursin
JUBA, South Sudan (AP) -- Hundreds of people in the disputed border region of Abyei voted Sunday in a referendum that they hope will decide whether they join Sudan or South Sudan, a local leader said, but the exercise lacked the official backing of either of the governments.
The exercise was proceeding peacefully Sunday, said Luka Biong, spokesman for the Abyei Referendum High Committee, a civic group that is organizing the vote. He said the results of the three-day vote will be announced on Oct. 31.
"This reminds me of what happened in January 2011 when the people of South Sudan voted for their independence," he said. "This was a special moment, a historic moment. This was like crowning the history of the struggle of the people of Abyei. I saw my people so determined."
Both Sudan and South Sudan claim ownership of the oil-rich Abyei area, whose status was unresolved after South Sudan became independent from its northern neighbor in 2011.
The region's majority Ngok Dinka people are believed to be in favor of joining South Sudan. The Sudan-allied Misseriya nomads, who come to Abyei to find pasture for their cattle, are not participating in the referendum.
The voting was "going on very smoothly" across Abyei, confirmed Zacharia Deng Majok, a member of the Abyei Referendum High Committee.
"People are in a jovial mood here," he said. "The morale of the people is very high because they know they are making a choice for their future."
Up to 100,000 people are expected to participate in the vote despite warnings that the event might trigger violence in the border region. The African Union had warned against holding a referendum, saying such action could increase the risk of violence between the Ngok Dinka and the Misseriya. The Misseriya have warned that a referendum in which they are not participants should not take place.
The Abyei region is rich in oil, one of the reasons both Sudans are reluctant to give it up. An African Union panel mediating talks between the countries last year proposed a referendum to be held in Abyei this month to determine which country the region would join. The AU proposal said only the permanent residents of Abyei would be allowed to vote in the referendum. That proposal was rejected by Sudan, which says the nomadic Misseriya people - who spend up to six months each year in the Abyei area - should be eligible to vote.
The Sudan government in Khartoum has argued against any unilateral action in Abyei, with Foreign Minister Ali Karti saying the dispute can only be resolved through negotiations between the two countries.

Syria says al-Qaida linked group's leader killed
BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian state-run TV reported Friday the leader of a powerful al-Qaida-linked rebel group has been killed — a claim that if confirmed would be a huge blow to fighters trying to topple President Bashar Assad. At least one rebel commander denied the report.
Abu Mohammad al-Golani heads Jabhat al-Nusra, also known as Nusra Front, which has emerged as one of the most effective among rebel groups fighting Assad.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which closely monitors the fighting in Syria, said senior Nusra Front leaders contacted by activists in Latakia and the eastern Deir el-Zour province denied al-Golani had been killed.
Other Nusra Front sources said they could not confirm or deny the report "because contact with al-Golani was cut," the Observatory said in a statement. A rebel commander in a Damascus suburb contacted by The Associated Press said he believed al-Golani was "alive and well" based on his contacts with other fighters including those from Nusra Front. He declined to elaborate or be identified for security concerns.
The report comes as the fragmented rebels have suffered significant losses on the battlefield.
Syrian troops killed at least 40 opposition fighters, including Nusra Front members, earlier Friday in an ambush near Damascus, the government said.
Assad's forces backed by Lebanese Hezbollah gunmen also seized control of a rebel ammunition supply route on a highway linking the capital to its eastern suburbs — part of a blistering government offensive to bolster its position amid an international push for peace talks.
State TV said al-Golani was killed in the coastal province of Latakia. It did not say when or give other details. News of his death was not mentioned in the main headlines of the TV's late night news bulletin.
Al-Golani, who fought previously in Iraq, is a shadowy figure who is believed to have spent time recently in rebellious suburbs south of Damascus. Rebels have also gained footholds in mountainous regions of Latakia, which is largely loyal to Assad, and he may have gone there to direct fighting.
The Nusra Front is on a U.S. State Department list of terrorist organizations. The group has claimed responsibility for numerous suicide bombings against government targets.
Al-Golani gained prominence in April when he rejected an attempted takeover of the group by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the head of the Islamic State of Iraq, revealing a growing rift within al-Qaida's global network.
Al-Golani at the time distanced himself from claims that the two groups had merged into a group called the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Instead, he pledged allegiance to al-Qaida's leader Ayman al-Zawahri.
He said that al-Baghdadi's announcement of the merger was premature and that his group will continue to use Jabhat al-Nusra as its name.
The group is more popular in Syria than the ISIL, which is largely made up of foreign fighters and has been criticized for its brutality and for trying to impose a strict version of Islamic law in areas under its control.
Al-Golani's death could strengthen ISIL at a time of growing infighting between al-Qaida extremists and the more moderate rebels from the mainstream Free Syrian Army.
Assad's forces have been gaining ground in rebel-held areas around the capital, the seat of his power, and have made progress against outgunned and fragmented fighters in several areas.
On Friday, the state-run news agency SANA said 40 rebels died in the ambush near Otaiba, adding that soldiers seized a large arms cache, including anti-tank rockets.
The area is part of a region known as Eastern Ghouta, which was the scene of a chemical weapons attack in August believed to have killed hundreds.
The state-run Al-Ikhbariya television station broadcast footage showing more than a dozen bodies near the largely dried-out Otaiba lake, some wearing flak jackets strapped with ammunition. Automatic rifles and hand grenades lay nearby.
An unidentified Syrian army officer in the area told Al-Ikhbariya that foreign fighters were among the dead and that the ambush followed an intelligence tip.
The Observatory said at least 24 fighters, some of them foreign, were killed in the ambush, but it gave no further details and the differing death tolls could not be immediately reconciled.
The offensive coincided with an international push for a peace conference to be held in Geneva. Both sides want to bolster their position on the ground ahead of the talks, expected next month. No final date has been set, however, and it is unclear whether the sides will reach an agreement on the agenda.
The Supreme Military Council, which brings together a collection of loosely-knit rebel brigades under the emblem of the Free Syrian Army, said Friday it refused to sit down with Syrian officials involved in killing Syrians. Comments carried by the Syrian National Coalition, the group's political wing, also dismissed the proposed talks for lacking a way to reach concrete results.
In other violence, a car bomb blew up near a mosque in in the village of Wadi Barada outside of Damascus shortly before Friday prayers ended. The Observatory said 40 people were killed in the blast and dozens wounded. SANA said the car blew up as it was being rigging with explosives. The agency said a number of people were killed.
The ambush near Damascus came hours after Assad's forces captured the town of Hatitat al-Turkomen south of the city, securing a key highway that links the capital with the Damascus International Airport.
North of Damascus, rebels and government forces clashed for a fifth consecutive day in the Christian town of Sadad. Al-Qaida-linked groups captured a checkpoint earlier this week that gave them control of the western part of the town.
Archbishop Silwanos Al-Nemeh told The Associated Press in a telephone interview as many as 3,000 civilians were trapped, and he appealed for international organizations to help civilians flee the area.
Also Friday, Norway rejected a U.S. request for it to receive the bulk of Syria's chemical weapons for destruction, saying it doesn't have the capabilities to complete the task by the deadlines set by an international chemical watchdog.
The United Nations has set a mid-2014 deadline for the destruction of Syria's arsenal — a deadline Brende said was too tight for Norway.
On Friday, the OPCW said its inspectors visited a site the day before and verified that all of its previous chemical weapons-related equipment has been dismantled. That brings to 19 the total number of sites visited by OPCW inspectors, of 23 that have been disclosed by Syria.
The Syrian conflict has left more than 100,000 people dead and driven nearly 7 million more from their homes.

ICC Says Kenya Deputy President Must Attend Trial
Photo: somaliweyn.org
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) -- The International Criminal Court on Friday overturned a decision excusing Kenya's deputy president from attending his trial on charges of orchestrating deadly violence after his country's 2007 election.
The decision by appeals judges means William Ruto must - in principle - appear at his trial, but can still be excused on a "case by case" basis.
"The presence of the accused must remain the general rule," said the court president, Judge Sang-hyun Song.
The ruling could deepen a rift between the court and African leaders who accuse it of unfairly targeting their continent. It could also set a precedent for Kenya's president, whose trial on similar charges is scheduled to start next month.
The African Union earlier this month said it wanted the U.N. Security Council to defer the Kenya trials at the ICC for a year. The Hague-based court has only indicted Africans in more than a decade of operation.
However, while overturning the decision to issue a blanket excusal from trial for Ruto, the appeals panel left open the option for judges to let Ruto stay at home for parts of his case - but he would have to seek permission each time he wanted to miss hearings.
In June, judges said Ruto could skip most of his trial so that he could exercise his duties as deputy of head of state. Prosecutors appealed and Ruto has, so far, attended much of his case.
The five-judge appeals panel acknowledged that trial judges have the power to excuse a defendant, but "interpreted the scope of its discretion too broadly" in giving Ruto what amounted to "a blanket excusal" from his trial, Sang said.
Trial judges exercised their discretion last month when they adjourned Ruto's case for a week so he could fly home to deal with the aftermath of the deadly terror attack on an upscale shopping mall in Nairobi.
Ruto, who is on trial alongside broadcaster Joshua Arap Sang, has pleaded not guilty to crimes against humanity for allegedly organizing violence targeting his political opponents after Kenya's 2007 presidential vote. More than 1,000 people died in tribal clashes in December 2007 and January 2008.
Kenyatta, who was elected president earlier this year, faces similar charges of involvement in attacks on his political rivals after the 2007 vote. He, too, insists he is innocent, and he has asked judges to throw out the case, claiming it is built on false witness testimony and is an abuse of process.
Judges preparing for his trial last week excused him from attending most of the hearings in a case that will likely take many months to complete.
Prosecutors said in a statement they will now ask the panel of judges preparing for Kenyatta's trial to "reconsider its decision to conditionally excuse Mr. Kenyatta from continuous presence at his trial" or allow prosecutors to appeal the decision.
Meanwhile, Kenyatta asked the court to delay the scheduled Nov. 12 start of his trial, arguing in a written motion that the court should hold a hearing into his claims made earlier this month of abuse of process and that he is still dealing with the fallout from the Westgate mall attack and is needed in Kenya.
Kenyatta's lawyers said the trial, which already has been pushed back twice, shouldn't begin before Feb. 12.

Tens of thousands lack pain medication in Senegal
DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — Tens of thousands of people in Senegal struggling with advanced cancer and other illnesses are left with only basic headache medicines to treat their pain because the country does not have enough morphine in stock, according to a report released Thursday.
Only about 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of the powerful opioid drug is available each year in the West African country — enough for less than 200 people, Human Rights Watch found. As a result, those already confronting the pain of death are now spending their final months often unable to even sleep or eat because of their agony.
Fatoumata Seck, a 33-year-old woman from Mali battling advanced cervical cancer, described her pain without morphine as "infernal." She told Human Rights Watch it was "by far the worst pain" she'd ever felt in her life, even after having delivered six babies.
Morphine's use has long been strictly regulated because of the potential for addiction and overdose. Advocates, though, say as a result people in the final stages of cancer are needlessly dying in excruciating pain.
As in many countries in West Africa, Senegalese families struggle to pay not only the costs of medical care but also for travel expenses to hospitals and clinics in the capital. Many patients are diagnosed in the advanced stages of cancer because early screening is not available or out of reach financially.
"Unless palliative care becomes available near their homes, these people will continue to die in horrific circumstances when they fall ill with cancer or other chronic illnesses," the report said.
Senegal's National Pharmacy says it has added oral morphine tablets to its 2012 essential medicines list and plans to begin importing more of it later this year.
Government regulations, though, still require patients to get the drug from only a limited number of regional and national hospitals. Restrictions on prescriptions also mean families must refill morphine weekly.
And even when family members do make the journey, sometimes they find the drug is not in stock. Only a handful of places have oral morphine at all, and the report found the "complication authorization and important process creates many opportunities for delays."
Alboury Seck told HRW during one morphine shortage he sent a relative abroad in hopes he could bring back some of the drug. He rationed his remaining pills but nothing else could keep the pain from advanced prostate cancer at bay.
"I tried to bear the pain for two to three days, and when I could not handle it, I would take one pill," he said. "I went to all the pharmacies and they do not sell it. I tried to use Tylenol, Motrin, it is the only thing I have with me. Two, three, four times a day, but it is not enough. Only the morphine works."

It's a touchdown for Jeff Hunt and his partners with the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group.
But it's not a Grey Cup ... yet.
OSEG's dream of putting a CFL team back in Ottawa in 2014 got a huge jump-start Monday when a Friends of Lansdowne appeal on the park's redevelopment was unanimously shot down by a three-judge panel of the Ontario Court of Appeal.
"It's obviously a great sense of relief," said Hunt, who also owns the Ottawa 67's. "We were very confident that the decision of the earlier court would be upheld. This whole process is like a season. You have some painful losses and you have your victories and when you have your victories, you celebrate them. We're still not celebrating a Grey Cup yet, but it's another step closer."
The Friends of Lansdowne have been haunting OSEG for nearly two years.
"This has been the most frustrating period for me, personally," said Hunt. "This has been a five-year epic journey. Certainly, we've had lots of adversity. This stage now, where everything is so ready to go, to have the uncertainty of a matter before the court, is very frustrating. We kind of knew going in there would be opposition. It's nice to get that decision in today. It's a big relief for our whole group.
"Our plan is still 2014, unless something else were to occur, we should be good to go. The CFL has been terrific throughout this entire process. They've been great partners."
One thing is certain, the team will not be called the Rough Riders. The Saskatchewan Roughriders, as a condition of their yes vote to add Ottawa, won't allow it. So what will the Ottawa team be called?
"Once we have absolute certainty as to a start date and we're in the ground, which is what I believe is symbolically the certainty we need, we'll begin to do a lot of things, including engage the community in a name-the-team program."
What does Hunt think of the Friends of Lansdowne?
"It's disappointing that people would be so disruptive in what we all think is such a positive thing for the city," said Hunt. "I guess it's part of being in a democracy. Hopefully, they'll take two decisive decisions and we can start to move forward without any more legal issues.
It's a touchdown for Jeff Hunt and his partners with the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group.

Linda, The Robert Teague that I have in V21T2264 was born in 1844. And was in Alabama. However, I remember my Grandmother speaking of Uncle Bob Teague. In fact, I think I remember being at his sons house there in Leicester, NC. Did he have a son named Bob, that was a teacher, and married one of his students (after she got out of school of course)and they lived in a brick house across from the ?Methodist Church in Leicester? I remember visiting with them and I think that Bob Teague was a first cousin to my mother. My mother was born in 1902, so that would be about right if he were Bob, Jr. If this is the right Bob Teague, let me know, I still have one far cousin to contact that is still living that can straighten me out on this, maybe. In the meantime, I will continue looking. I have a Roxie Teague in this V21T2264, but am not at all sure it's my grandmother. Will be looking while waiting your reply.

Thanks to the USPS and some seriously speedy mail delivery, this probably isn't your very ...
New SRT Viper previewed in teaser image
OK, here's a first glimpse of the redesigned 2013 SRT Viper. The full reveal of Chrysler Corp.'s new sports car is set for the New York auto show in early April.
Chrysler has been coy about the new Viper but has said that it will have stability control. Prototypes spotted last summer included a Bilstein Sport button on the center console.
The 2013 Viper is expected to be run in international GT racing, and Chrysler has signed Riley Technologies to analyze the potential.
The new Viper is expected to incorporate technology from Chrysler partner Fiat, and dealers have said a prototype shown in 2010 had Italian styling cues. A V10 powerplant was perhaps the signature trait of the old Viper, but Chrysler has not spoken publicly as to what the car will employ under the hood.

At this time of necessary fiscal austerity, I question any use of taxpayer funds for "experimental" programs, whether promoted by the left or the right. If you don't like public transportation, save money and buy your own car. Likewise if you don't like public education, save your money and send your child to a private school, but don't ask me to fund it. Haslam cracked the door open for future political reasons and now he'll probably create more controversey rather than just opposing school choice and vetoing a bill.

Flames forward Matthew Stajan is tired of hearing about Dion Phaneuf
Sep 20, 2010, 11:44 PM EST
As it turns out, being one of "the other guys" in a blockbuster trade featuring one major star isn't quite as glamorous as you'd think. Last season, the Toronto Maple Leafs sent a package of players to the Calgary Flames to obtain defenseman Dion Phaneuf. Matthew Stajan, Niklas Hagman, and Ian White all headed to…
Like a long dead television franchise or a band that broke up long ago that is looking to cash more checks, the Hartford Whalers will rise again.

Leafs' Mikhail Grabovski being sued for punching Habs fan and wife in the face
Sep 20, 2010, 9:33 PM EST
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mikhail Grabovski could be in some trouble off the ice. If law suits and allegations are to be believed, you could say that Grabovski's still got some bad feelings about his past days as a Montreal Canadiens forward who sparred with the Kostitsyn brothers. A man from British Columbia claims that…
Martin Gerber's return from the KHL sees battle with goalies rather than henchmen
Sep 20, 2010, 8:25 PM EST
Comments OffWhen a player takes off the KHL from the NHL, they usually go away to never be heard from again aside from the occasional "What ever happened to…?" profile pieces. In an effort to prove that you can go home again, so to speak, former Hurricanes/Leafs/Senators goalie Martin Gerber is back trying to win a…
Starting tomorrow (Tuesday, September 21), the U.S. version of the NHL Network will begin televising 35 preseasons games, according to the network's press release.

The sad story of Mark Wells selling his 'Miracle on Ice' gold medal
Sep 20, 2010, 6:00 PM EST
Although there are occasions such as Reggie Bush and O.J. Simpson losing trophies for off-the-field issues, you'll rarely see an athlete give up the symbol of their greatest achievements easily. Usually, it's the exclamation point at the end of a very sad story. Life hasn't been easy for Mark Wells since he helped the U.S.…
While we are comfortable discussing all 30 NHL teams here at Pro Hockey Talk, sometimes we ask for a little guidance from people who watch their team's every move. That's exactly what we did with our "training camp battles" feature in which we asked a blogger from all 30 teams to describe the positions that…
TV producer who withheld replays of a Flyers goal will return to Penguins telecasts this season
Sep 20, 2010, 5:00 PM EST
There were a lot of goal review debates last year, but only one in which a television producer became the lightning rod for controversy. That happened when FSN Pittsburgh producer Lowell MacDonald, Jr. withheld a replay that would have revealed that the Philadelphia Flyers scored a goal on the Pittsburgh Penguins. The TV producer was…
Despite having a refreshingly productive 09-10 season in which he racked up 91 points despite the fact that the Dallas Stars missed the playoffs, it's difficult to escape contract talk with Brad Richards. He signed a bloated five-year, $39 million deal after he won the Conn Smythe during the Tampa Bay's catching-Lightning-in-a-bottle Cup run, which…
Columbus Blue Jackets ink Steve Mason to two-year extension despite sophomore slump
Sep 20, 2010, 3:40 PM EST
There's some slightly surprising news out of Columbus today: the Blue Jackets extended goalie Steve Mason's contract for two years. The deal will be worth $2.6 million in 2011-12 and $3.2 million in 2012-13 for an annual cap hit of $2.9 million, according to TSN's Bob MacKenzie. This allows both sides to avoid restricted free…
With training camps starting late this week or early next, we at Pro Hockey Talk couldn't help but wonder: what are the biggest position battles going in?

The Penguins and Shero have agreed on a five-year contract extension that ensures the team's 2009 Stanley Cup champion architect will remain in Pittsburgh through the 2015-16 season.

Could this season be the first time Patrick Kane hits the 100-point mark?
Sep 20, 2010, 11:50 AM EST
Every sport seemingly has its benchmarks for the kind of season that marks a "true" star, even though those numbers can change thanks to eras (thanks to factors such as expansion, improved fitness, etc.). Some random numbers that jump out for sports athletes: a great homerun hitter will aim for 50 in a season, people…
NHL's video emphasizes rule changes regarding hits to the head
Sep 20, 2010, 11:15 AM EST
About a week ago, we tried to translate the NHL's listed rule book changes into plain English. Luckily, the league is being a bit more proactive as the 2010-11 season rapidly approaches, as you can see from this video that was sent to all 30 teams. (I guess someone in the league office is still…

Minor injuries pull Joey Hishon, Kyle Cumiskey out of practice at Avalanche training camp
Sep 19, 2010, 11:00 PM EST
Comments OffTraining camp is an opportunity to meet new teammates, learn new systems and maybe shake off some rust. Sometimes, you might pull a groin muscle or suffer some other minor injury in that rust-shaking process. The Colorado Avalanche dealt with a couple minor injuries on Sunday, with an element of their present (defenseman Kyle Cumiskey)…
Pondering possible line combos for next season's Atlanta Thrashers
Sep 19, 2010, 10:10 PM EST
Comments OffFor hardcore hockey fans, drawing up various line combos is a delightful exercise of armchair coaching. The Atlanta Thrashers feature a boatload of new faces – many of whom played support roles with the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks – so that activity might be even more enjoyable for Thrashers writers, bloggers and fans. Still,…
It's amazing how much ink has been spilled regarding a captaincy that actually wasn't, you know, "official." Vancouver Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo won't be wearing that "C" on his mask as he relinquished the role for next season and there's been plenty of speculation about who could be the new captain. Some wonder if it…

A Monosaccharide is the simplest form of a carbohydrate, and is a simple sugar. When you eat carbohydrates, your blood sugar or glucose is increased. Your glucose level should be stable so your brain continues to function efficiently. If your blood sugar goes too low or too high, you're putting yourself at risk. Your doctor will prescribe medication if necessary, otherwise you can choose natural remedies or natural treatments for your unstable blood sugar.
Blood sugar levels can either be hypoglycemic (too low sugar- Known as Hypoglycemia) or hyperglycemic (too much sugar- Known as Hyperglycemia). Neither condition is good because each has consequences on our health. The ideal condition is euglycaemia. Euglycaemia means that even after an overnight fast, your blood sugar level stays between 3.5 and 5.5 mmol/liter. This is considered normal.
Hypoglycemia occurs when your sugar level goes below 3.5; hyperglycemia is when it exceeds 7.0 which is too high. One serious consequence of hyperglycemia is insulin resistance, which leads to diabetes.
You can have low blood sugar when you don't eat on time or when you miss a meal, when you take medication without eating on time or when you over-exercise. At the other end of the spectrum is hyperglycemia - this condition can be mild (symptoms are hunger pangs, dizziness, trembling, sweating, numbness), moderate (mood swings, headaches, failing vision, slurred speech) or severe (inability to concentrate, confusion, fainting, intense shaking, personality changes). Both high blood sugar and low blood sugar can be affected by the foods you eat. Make sure you are consuming a healthy diet.
When choosing a natural treatment for blood sugar, ensure that you buy a product that is made in the USA, as these formulations have been certified by a US laboratory that complies with the highest standards. A few suggestions:
Watch Kahn Academy video about Diabetes.
In recent years research has shown the importance of vitamin D, and its use in supplement form has become increasingly popular. Vitamin D provides benefits through the body. It promotes the health of the immune system and bones, and it may also offer help to those at risk for type II diabetes. Type II diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, and of the 26 million people with diabetes 90 to 95 percent of them have type II diabetes.
A body afflicted with type II diabetes has difficulty using insulin or simply does not make enough. Insulin is essential to the body's biological function, because it transports sugar from the blood to the cells where it can be used to ensure healthy cellular function and provide the body with energy. When insulin isn't functioning properly glucose accumulates in the blood and leads to high blood sugar levels. This causes the body's cells to not function properly, and it can also cause permanent damage to the body. Prolonged periods of high blood sugar can damage the nerves, and it may also lead to a hardening of the arteries. High blood sugar can also increase the frequency of urination, and this can make the body more likely to become dehydrated.
Studies have shown that maintaining healthy vitamin D levels can help to reduce the risk of developing type II diabetes. One study found that more than 90 percent of subjects had low levels of vitamin D, and their vitamin D levels could be deemed deficient or insufficient. This study, done at Johns Hopkins University School or Medicine, analyzed the medical information of 124 subjects with type II diabetes that were between the ages of 36 and 89. Of these subjects, only 6 percent took a vitamin D supplement, and, most telling, those with the lowest levels of vitamin D had the highest levels of blood sugar.
A second study found a link between vitamin D levels and metabolic syndrome. Now, those with metabolic syndrome won't necessarily get diabetes, but they are at a much higher risk. Metabolic syndrome is marked by:
This study took a look at 1300 adults that were at least the age of 65. It found that 50 percent of the subjects were deficient in vitamin D, and these subjects were more likely to be dealing with metabolic syndrome. A review published in Dermatoendocrinology took a look at 40 different studies, and found that maintaining healthy vitamin D levels over long periods of time can help to fight off metabolic syndrome.
If you're at risk for developing type II diabetes you may want to address any possible vitamin D deficiencies. Research has shown the importance of maintaining vitamin D levels for a number of reasons, and it can also help to reduce the risk of type II diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
More and more, people are realizing the importance of using natural remedies to help treat a variety of health problems. There is a natural remedy for most health problems.
By using only natural treatments, you are less likely to suffer from harmful side effects associated with medication.
To reduce the risks associated with many medications, it is important to use natural treatments whenever you can. With the help of your health professional you can use natural treatments effectively to improve your health.

ABSTRACT: We studied the use of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-modified dendrimers as a nanocapsule with a biocompatible surface. We designed PEG-modified dendrimers having a shell of hydrophobic amino acid residues in the peripheral moiety of the dendrimer to increase their encapsulation ability. Subsequently, l-phenylalanine or γ-benzyl-l-glutamate residues were introduced to all chain ends of the poly(amidoamine) G4 dendrimers. Furthermore, PEG (MW 2000) chains were attached to the amino acid residues. These hydrophobic amino acid residues rendered the PEG-modified dendrimers as more compact. After binding of Rose Bengal (RB) guest molecules to dendrimers, an assay using the Klotz plot showed that the hydrophobic amino acid layer slightly affected the guest site number, but significantly increased intrinsic binding of the dendrimers to guest molecules. The PEG-modified dendrimers with the hydrophobic amino acid layer were better able to retain guest molecules than the dendrimer without the layer: they are therefore useful for drug delivery.Polymer. 01/2008; 49(12):2832-2838. - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Toward the production of unimolecular nanocapsules with biocompatible surface, we prepared a fourth generation polyamidoamine dendrimer having both a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with the number average molecular weight of 2000 and a methacryloyl group at every chain end of the dendrimer through an l-lysine residue. The introduced methacryloyl groups of the dendrimer were successfully polymerized by using free radical initiators, such as azobisisobutyronitrile and dibenzoyl peroxide, as judged by 1H NMR. GPC revealed that the molecular weight of the dendrimers having the polymerizable groups did not change after their polymerization, indicating that the polymerization of the methacryloyl groups took place within the single dendrimer. Polymerization of the methacryloyl groups resulted in a significant reduction of the affinity of the dendrimer to a guest molecule, rose bengal, suggesting that the peripheral network formed by the linking of methacryloyl groups hides the dendrimer interior. In addition, when the methacryloyl groups of the dendrimer were polymerized in the presence of rose bengal, the guest molecule was found to be tightly associated with the dendrimer.Polymer. 01/2005; 46(6):1813-1820. - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We designed poly(amidoamine) dendrimers with phenylalanine or leucine residues at their chain ends. Thereby, we achieved efficient gene transfection of cells through synergy of the proton sponge effect, which is induced by the internal tertiary amines of the dendrimer, and hydrophobic interaction by the hydrophobic amino acid residues in the dendrimer periphery. Dendrimers having 16, 29, 46, and 64 terminal phenylalanine residues were prepared by the reaction of the amine-terminated poly(amidoamine) G4 dendrimer and L-phenylalanine using condensing reagent 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Transfection activity of these phenylalanine-modified dendrimers for CV1 cells, an African green monkey kidney cell line, increased concomitant with the increasing number of the terminal phenylalanine residues, except for the dendrimer with 64 phenylalanine residues, which showed poor water solubility and hardly formed a complex with DNA at neutral pH. However, under weakly acidic conditions, the dendrimer with 64 phenylalanine residues formed a complex with DNA, thereby achieving highly efficient transfection. In contrast, the attachment of L-leucine residues was unable to improve the transfection activity of the parent dendrimer, probably because of the relatively lower hydrophobicity of this amino acid. The phenylalanine-modified dendrimer exhibited a higher transfection activity and a lower cytotoxicity than some widely used transfection reagents. For that reason, the phenylalanine-modified dendrimers are considered to be promising gene carriers.Bioconjugate Chemistry 01/2005; 16(1):208-14. · 4.58 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We prepared block copolymers of (2-ethoxy)ethoxyethyl vinyl ether (EOEOVE) and octadecyl vinyl ether (ODVE) with the number average molecular weights of 6900, 9300, and 16 700 by living cationic polymerization. The poly(EOEOVE) block acts as a temperature-sensitive moiety, and the poly(ODVE) block acts as an anchor moiety. We also investigated the effect of chain length of the copolymer poly(EOEOVE) block on the ability to sensitize liposomes. The copolymers underwent a coil-globule transition at approximately 36 degrees C in the presence of a membrane of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EYPC), detected using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Liposomes encapsulating calcein, a water-soluble fluorescent dye, were prepared from mixtures of dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine, EYPC, and the copolymers. While the copolymer-modified liposomes released little calcein below 30 degrees C, release was enhanced above 35 degrees C, indicating that dehydrated copolymer chains destabilized the liposome membrane. In addition, copolymers with a longer poly(EOEOVE) block induced a more drastic enhancement of contents release in a narrow temperature region near the transition temperature of the poly(EOEOVE) block. As a result, the copolymer with an average molecular weight of 16 700 generated highly sensitive liposomes that produced rapid and dramatic release of the contents in response to temperature.Bioconjugate Chemistry 01/2005; 16(6):1367-74. · 4.58 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The poly(amidoamine) dendrimers having terminal isobutyramide (IBAM) groups were prepared by the reaction of isobutyric acid and the amine-terminated poly(amidoamine) dendrimers with generations (G) of 2 to 5 by using a condensing agent, 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. 1H and 13C NMR revealed that an IBAM group was attached to essentially every chain end of the dendrimers. While the IBAM-terminated G2 dendrimer was soluble in water, the IBAM-terminated G3, G4, and G5 dendrimers exhibited the lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs) at 75, 61, and 43 degrees C, respectively. Because the density of the terminal IBAM groups in the periphery of the dendrimer progressively increases with increasing dendrimer generation, the interaction of the IBAM groups might take place more efficiently, resulting in a remarkable decrease in the LCST. In addition, attachment of IBAM groups to poly(propylenimine) dendrimers could give the temperature-sensitive property, indicating that this is an efficient method to render dendrimers temperature sensitive.Journal of the American Chemical Society 11/2004; 126(40):12760-1. · 10.68 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: Three kinds of copolymers of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) with the same conformational transition temperature and varying transition endotherms were synthesized with N-acryloylpyrrolidine (APr), N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAM), and N-isopropylmethacrylamide (NIPMAM) as the comonomers. Two dodecyl groups were incorporated into the termini of these copolymers as an anchor for the fixation to a liposomal membrane. Egg yolk phosphatidylcholine liposomes having these copolymers were prepared and their temperature-sensitive contents release and association properties were investigated. While these copolymer exhibited a conformational transition at ca. 40 degrees C, DeltaH for the transition increased in the order of poly(APr-co-NIPAM) < poly(DMAM-co-NIPAM) < poly(NIPMAM-co-NIPAM). The liposomes containing poly(NIPMAM-co-NIPAM) showed a drastic release enhancement of entrapped calcein above the transition temperature, whereas the liposomes with poly(DMAM-co-NIPAM) and those with poly(APr-co-NIPAM) exhibited moderate and slight enhancement of calcein release above that temperature, respectively. On the contrary, the liposomes containing poly(APr-co-NIPAM) showed significant aggregation above the transition temperature, but the aggregation was hardly observed for the liposomes having poly(NIPMAM-co-NIPAM), indicating that poly(APr-co-NIPAM) more efficiently made the liposome surface hydrophobic. Thus, we concluded that the copolymer with a large DeltaH is suitable for obtaining functional liposomes with a temperature-sensitive contents release property, whereas the copolymer with a small DeltaH is appropriate for preparing functional liposomes with a temperature-sensitive surface property.Bioconjugate Chemistry 01/2004; 15(5):1102-9. · 4.58 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA)-N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (VPy) copolymers of various compositions have been prepared. The copolymers obtained were examined for their ability to bind a homologous series of methyl orange derivatives, methyl orange, ethyl orange, propyl orange, and butyl orange, at 5, 15, 25, and 35°C, respectively, in an aqueous solution. The first binding constants and the thermodynamic parameters that accompanied the binding were evaluated. The binding ability of the copolymer for the small cosolute was enhanced with an increase of the HEMA content in the copolymer. Moreover, a bell-shaped curve appeared in the binding of butyl orange by the copolymers having higher HEMA residues when the first binding constant was plotted as a function of temperature, whereas no such phenomenon was detected for the copolymers with less HEMA content or for the less hydrophobic dye, methyl orange, ethyl orange, or propyl orange. This peculiar temperature dependence of the first binding constant shows that the enthalpy of the binding varies from a positive (unfavorable) value below ca. 15°C to a negative (favorable) one above this temperature. This behavior can be accounted for in terms of more hydrophobic effects involved in the binding process.Journal of Polymer Science Polymer Chemistry Edition 06/2003; 23(4):1243 - 1254. - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A novel porphyrinic receptor 1 in which two zinc porphyrins are bridged by two diarylurea linkers was developed for recognition of a viologen derivative (hexyl viologen, HV). The electronic absorption spectra as well as the 1H NMR experiments revealed that the HV molecule was bound to the cleft in 1 mainly through carbonyl dipole-charge interactions to afford a 1:1 complex. From the steady-state fluorescence spectroscopic study, the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from 1 to HV was extremely facilitated by the receptor-substrate complexation. The receptor 1 also formed a 1:1 complex with 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) through two Zn-N coordination interactions, and, using DABCO as an inhibitor, we suppressed the PET reaction via the substrate exchange.Journal of the American Chemical Society 05/2003; 125(14):4068-9. · 10.68 Impact Factor - Journal of Polymer Science Part C Polymer Letters 04/2003; 23(5):245 - 249.

ABSTRACT: A study was made of the formation of polyion complexes between a piperidinium cationic polymer and polyanions and of the binding of azo-dye anions (methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl orange) by these complexes. Sodium poly(acrylate), poly(styrenesulfonate), dextran sulfate, and carboxy-methylcellulose were used as polyanions. The resultant polyion complexes (insoluble in aqueous solutions) were compared for their ability to bind the small organic molecules in aqueous solutions, for example, of urea and an inorganic electrolyte (KCI), and exhibited a strong binding affinity toward these small anions. Polyion complexes that consisted of sodium poly(acrylate), dextran sulfate, and carboxymethylcellulose as polyanions cooperated in the binding, whereas the polyion complex of sodium poly(styrenesulfonate) did not. It was suggested that small organic anions interact with the polyion complexes primarily through electrostatic and hydrophobic forces.Journal of Polymer Science Polymer Chemistry Edition 03/2003; 21(2):447 - 455. - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The extent of binding of methyl orange, ethyl orange, propyl orange, and butyl orange by a polyion complex, which consists of equimolar sodium polymethacrylate and a piperidinium cationic polymer, was measured in ethylene glycol at 25, 30, and 35°C. The effects of aqueous and nonaqueous media on the binding of the dye by the polymer matrix were compared. In ethylene glycol only noncooperative binding (Langmuir type) was observed, whereas two modes of binding, noncooperative and cooperative, were involved in the aqueous environment. The first binding constants and the thermodynamic parameters associated with the binding in ethylene glycol were evaluated. The polymer matrix exhibited a higher affinity toward the dye in ethylene glycol than in water at low concentrations of free dye and bound these anionic cosolutes with different hydrophobicities but the same affinity as in ethylene glycol. These interactions are highly exothermic and characterized by relatively large negative entropy changes. Electrostatic forces are the principal contributors to the dye–polymer complex formation. The binding behavior observed in the nonaqueous solvent is reasonably accounted for in terms of disappearance of hydrophobic interactions between the dye and the polymer and an increase in electrostatic attraction between the anionic small molecule and the positively charged sites on the polyion complex.Journal of Polymer Science Polymer Chemistry Edition 03/2003; 20(8):2231 - 2238. - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Measurements have been made of the binding of divalent metal ions, Cu2+, Ni2+, Co2+, and Zn2+ ions, by polyethylenimine (PEI) and its acetyl or alkyl derivatives by the equilibriumdialysis technique. These metal ions, in particular the Cu2+ ion, exhibited tremendously remarkable binding affinity toward PEI. The extent of complexation of the polymer with the metal ions was decreased markedly by acetylation or alkylation of the polymer. PEI with no primary amine showed an appreciable decrease in its affinity for the metal ion. These results indicate the participation of the primary amine of the polymer in the formation of the complex. A cooperative binding isotherm was observed in PEI–metal ion complex formation, suggesting swelling or conformational change of the polymer induced by this coordination process. Binding of the Cu2+ ion by PEI was found to be essentially independent of temperature over the range 5–35°C.Journal of Polymer Science Polymer Chemistry Edition 03/2003; 23(8):2109 - 2116. - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The binding of 4′-dibutylaminoazobenzene-4-sulfonate (butyl orange, BO) and 1-amino-4-methylaminoanthraquinone-2-sulfonate (AQ) by crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone and the competition between BO and AQ for binding sites of the polymer were examined. The equilibrium data showed competitive binding. Thus the intrinsic binding constants and the number of binding sites can be evaluated easily and precisely by competitive binding. The thermodynamic parameters that accompained the binding were calculated from the intrinsic binding constant and its temperature-dependence. The thermodynamic data for BO showed that the binding process is athermal and stabilized entirely by the entropy term. The binding of BO to the polymer is entropically favorable as a result of the operation of the hydrophobic effect. In contrast, with AQ a favorable free energy for a dye-polymer complex formation is associated with a large negative enthalpy and a small entropy. Therefore it is likely that the binding of AQ occurs by energetic forces and that the large aromatic ring of the dye contributes to the binding energy. On the average, BO and AQ can bind to the crosslinked polymer to the extent of 1 dye/ca 73 basemol in 0.1M tris-acetate buffer, pH 7.0.Journal of Polymer Science Polymer Chemistry Edition 03/2003; 22(1):185 - 194. - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The thermodynamic parameters for the interaction of the hydrophobic fluorescent probe, 2-p-toluidinylnaphthalene-6-sulfonate (TNS), and polycations that contain a piperidinium cation and various nonpolar pendant groups were calculated. Binding is exothermic and involves a positive entropy gain. The contribution of the entropy term to the free energy change tends to increase with increasing hydrophobicity of the polymers. The intensity of the fluorescence of TNS is enhanced when the probe binds to the polycations. The nature and phenomena of hydrophobic fluorescent probe binding with the polymers are discussed.Journal of Polymer Science Polymer Chemistry Edition 03/2003; 17(7):1953 - 1961. - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The interaction of polyvinylpyrrolidone with methyl orange, ethyl orange, propyl orange, and butyl orange has been studied by an equilibrium dialysis method at 5, 15, 25, and 35°C. The first binding constants and the thermodynamic parameters in the course of the binding have been calculated. It was found that the free energy and the enthalpy changes are all negative and the entropy change is largely positive. The longer the alkyl chain of the dyes, the more positive is the enthalpy change (though it is always in the negative direction) and hence the larger is the entropy change. The favorable free energy of the binding of butyl orange observed for the formation of the dye–polymer complex seems to be a result of a favorable entropy change rather than any favorable enthalpy change. Temperature dependences of the thermodynamic functions were apparently observed. That is, ΔF and ΔH become larger in absolute magnitude as the temperature increases. The positive quantity of ΔS tends to decrease with increasing temperture. All these facts obtained can be interpreted satisfactorily by the hydrophobic interaction between hydrocarbon portions of the dyes and nonpolar parts of the macromolecule.Journal of Polymer Science Polymer Chemistry Edition 03/2003; 11(8):1889 - 1901. - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Polyethylenimine (PEI) was crosslinked with dichloroethane, glyoxal, or glutaraldehyde and polymers of various degrees of crosslinkage were made. The insoluble polymers obtained were examined for their ability to bind methyl orange and its homologs, methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl orange at 5, 15, 25, and 35°C, respectively, in an aqueous solution. PEI crosslinked with glutaraldehyde showed markedly increased binding affinity toward these cosolutes compared with the polymers crosslinked with dichloroethane or glyoxal. The extent of the binding increased with an increase in the degree of crosslinkage. These results suggest that the enhancement of the binding by the crosslinking is due mainly to a dual effect, introduction of hydrophobic moieties and proximity of neighboring polymer chains. The first binding constants and the thermodynamic parameters that accompanied the binding were calculated. The thermodynamic data show that the binding process is athermal and is stabilized entirely by the entropy term. Water-soluble PEI exhibited stronger cooperative interactions than the crosslinked polymer because the mobilities of the chains of the former are greater than those of the latter.Journal of Polymer Science Polymer Chemistry Edition 03/2003; 21(8):2311 - 2322.

After unexpected delays (and plenty of rumors that soon followed), AMD's Radeon HD 6970 and Radeon HD 6950 finally see the light of day. The Cayman GPU brings a new VLIW4 core design that offers better efficiency and improved tessellation performance among others. AMD has positioned the HD 6970 as the superior enthusiast GPU, while the HD 6950 is touted to be in a class of its own. But still, the burning question: can the AMD Radeon HD 6970 subdue NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 580?
With the new Radeon HD 6900 Series of GPUs, AMD set about achieving four primary design goals.
Efficient graphics and compute architecture
The first is to deliver a more efficient graphics and compute architecture. This is done by adopting a new VLIW4 core architecture with up to 24 SIMD engines and 96 texture units. On the VLIW4 design, all stream processing units now have equal processing capabilities and scheduling and register management has been simplified. This gives a 10% improvement in performance per mm squared when compared to the previous VLIW5 design, found on the Radeon HD 5000 Series. Render back-ends have been upgraded for improved anti-aliasing performance.
Massive geometry performance
Tessellation performance was poor with the Radeon HD 5000 Series. In the HD 6900 Series, AMD has implemented dual graphics engines. This gives double the transform and backface cull rate, tripled tessellation performance compared to the Radeon HD 5870 thanks to dual 8th generation tessellators and dual rasterizers for up to 32 pixels per clock.
New image quality features
Raw performance aside, the Radeon HD 6900 Series brings new image quality features including Enhanced Quality Anti-Aliasing (EQAA) and morphological anti-aliasing (MLAA).
EQAA offers enhanced quality over standard Multi-Sample Anti-Aliasing (MSAA) modes by doubling the number of coverage samples per pixel, while keeping the same number of color / depth / stencil samples. This technique offers advanced smoothing of aliased edges without requiring additional video memory, and with a minimal performance hit.
The MLAA technique works as a post process effect; each frame is first rendered normally and then run through another shader pass to perform the filtering before it goes to the display. This differs from traditional multi-sample and super-sample AA techniques where the filtering occurs during the rendering of each frame. AMD suggests that this technique can eliminate aliasing for still images, though it is intended to work better when in motion.
Power efficiency and power management
Lastly, AMD has also worked on power efficiency and power management. With PowerTune Technology, the GPU TDP is clamped to a pre-determined level. The GPU includes counters across all blocks which are monitored and applied to an algorithm to infer power draw. The core clock is then adjusted dynamically to enforce the TDP level.
For the Radeon HD 6900 Series, two GPUs are available: Radeon HD 6970 and Radeon HD 6950. The Radeon HD 6970 has a fully-enabled Cayman chipset with 24 SIMD engines for 1536 Stream Processors and 96 texture units. It is clocked at 880MHz core and 1375MHz (5500MHz effective) memory.
Definitely, not all silicon produced is good enough to meet the requirements to become a Radeon HD 6970 part. In a binning process, semi-defective silicon is screened again to find out whether they can be used in a slower part. The Radeon HD 6950 has two SIMD engines disabled, resulting in 22 SIMD engines and 88 texture units. The HD 6950 is also clocked lower at 800MHz and 1250MHz (5000MHz effective) for core and memory respectively.
Before we proceed, here is a quick specifications table.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 | AMD Radeon HD 6970 | AMD Radeon HD 6950 | AMD Radeon HD 5870 | |
CUDA Cores / Stream Processors | 512 | 480 | 1536 | 1408 | 1600 |
Texture Units | 64 | 60 | 96 | 88 | 80 |
ROPs | 48 | 40 | 32 | 32 | 32 |
Core Clock | 772MHz | 732MHz | 880MHz | 800MHz | 850MHz |
Shader Clock | 1544MHz | 1464MHz | 880MHz | 800MHz | 850MHz |
Memory Clock | 4008MHz | 3800MHz | 5500MHz | 5000MHz | 4800MHz |
Memory Configuration | 1536MB GDDR5, 384-bit | 1280MB GDDR5, 320-bit | 2048MB GDDR5, 256-bit | 2048MB GDDR5, 256-bit | 1024MB GDDR5, 256-bit |
Transistor Count | 3 billion | 3 billion | 2.64 billion | 2.64 billion | 2.15 billion |
Manufacturing Process | TSMC 40nm | TSMC 40nm | TSMC 40nm | TSMC 40nm | TSMC 40nm |
With quite a number of noteable enhancements, how does the new AMD Radeon HD 6970 and Radeon HD 6950 fare? Let's find out.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — To Sue Bonham, it was as if the world were coming to an end: A wall of flame had suddenly engulfed her West Virginia neighborhood. Amid a deafening roar, objects began crashing through her ceiling. Her home began melting around her and a nearby house, her step-daughter's, collapsed in a heap of ashes.
An intense, suffocating heat prevented the Sissonville woman from fleeing her home. She thought of escaping to her in-ground pool — learning later that the flames had driven its water to deadly, scalding temperatures.
"(I was) thinking the earth would open up at any moment and swallow me," Bonham told a Monday field hearing of the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee. The chairman, West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller, held the hearing in his state's capital city.
The apocalypse Bonham witnessed was a natural gas pipeline explosion. A 1960s-era section of underground pipe had lost 70 percent of its thickness to outside corrosion. It ruptured around 12:41 p.m. on Dec. 11, triggering an inferno that ran the length of nearly four football fields along the pipeline and radiated out by around 840 feet.
The blast hurled a 20-foot section of pipe more than 40 feet. No one was killed or seriously injured. But the explosion and resulting fireball destroyed four homes and charred a stretch of Interstate 77 less than 113 feet away.
Rockefeller convened the hearing seeking lessons from the blast and other recent mishaps.
With his fellow West Virginian, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, Rockefeller heard from government officials, an executive with Sissonville pipeline operator Columbia Gas Transmission and a watchdog group's founder.
