Tracy and Tony are remodeling their 112-year-old Victorian home's kitchen. When they last remodeled in 1997, the couple and their two sons filled the kitchen with busy activity. Now that their kids are leaving home, Tracy and Tony are ready to transition into their new lives as empty nesters with a kitchen that better fits their needs. In this three-part series, Remodeling with Tracy and Tony, we'll follow the family as they remodel. To get things started, Tracy fills us in on how they decided to remodel and their big plans for the new kitchen.
Without the boys around, we'll travel and eat out more. When we are home, mealtimes will be super casual, and we certainly won't need the three separate eating spaces we have now…counter, kitchen table, and dining room. We'll entertain more, too. (I don't know about your kitchen, but ours has the irresistible gravitational pull of a black hole. Whether we have 6 people over or 60, they all want to hang out right in front of the kitchen sink.) So we need to open up the room a bit.And since our first remodel, our tastes have become even more contemporary. Think "minimalist, urban loft." This is no small design challenge when your house was built in 1899!
So it's time to remodel our kitchen, and this time, I'm determined to do it right. In 1997, we didn't use a kitchen designer, which I sorely regret. For example, a designer would have warned me that my deep, rollout pantry shelves would quickly become a disorganized mess. How messy? Well, I just tossed out some dusty old packets of Alfredo sauce that expired in 2003.
The electrical outlets in the backsplash that chopped up the wall so much I never figured out what kind of tile to install? A kitchen designer would have advised me to install the outlets in a strip hidden under the cabinetry to create a smooth, contiguous surface for tile. The halogen lights positioned so close to the wine cubbies that they made all the reds go rancid? You get my drift.
For kitchen number two, I'm calling in a pro, Dayna Waldman at Smartrooms, and she's going to be on board from day one. Together with the terrific architect/design team at Greene & Proppe Design, we're going to get it right this time.Am I a little wistful about my last one leaving the nest? Sure. But a kitchen that fits our "new" life is going to ease the sting. So stay tuned as we roll up our sleeves and get going!

Current Hot Questions
When does your next book come out?
Wild Justice – November 26, 2013.
Sea of Shadows – April 8, 2014.
Odin's Ravens – May 10, 2014.
Visions (Cainsville 2) – late August 2014.
When are you going to come to my city for an event?
As soon as an event is confirmed, I put it here. My publisher arranges signings and I have no say in where they send me. For other events, I accept a limited number of invitations (to attend conventions, give workshops, speak at libraries.) In the past couple of years, I over-booked myself and I am cutting back for 2013 and beyond. I love meeting readers, but my family likes to see me now and then!
Are you writing more adult books now that the Otherworld is over?
A new series started in August. You'll find more on the first book, Omens, here. There's also a final Nadia book coming in November.
What's happening with the Bitten TV series?
It's coming to the Space channel (Canada) and Syfy (US) in 2014. Your best source for news would be Space. They'll post updates on their website (Space.ca) or their Twitter/Instagram accounts (@SpaceChannel and http://instagram.com/spacechannel). They've asked that all questions about the series be directed to them.
When are you going to write a fourth Darkest Powers book?
While the initial trilogy ended with The Reckoning, the series itself continued with the Darkness Rising trilogy, featuring different teens in the same world, who are subjects of another Edison Group experiment. The two groups join forces in the last book of the series, The Rising.
So the YA series is finished after The Rising?
That series (Darkest Powers & Darkness Rising) will be done for now. I've finished the first book in a brand new trilogy and you'll find a bit about it here.
Is the Otherworld really over?
Thirteen was the finale. As for whether it's completely over, you'll find the full answer here.
Will Elena & Clay's twins get a book?
I get asked this a lot, especially now that the Otherworld is done. The problem is timing. I won't "soap opera age" the kids–having them jump from toddlers to teens in one year. They were 5 in Thirteen which took place in 2009, so they're getting older…but not quite old enough for a book yet.

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- We know you're trying to eat healthier this holiday season, but take a closer look at any grape tomatoes you plan on adding to that salad.
A St. Louis-based produce company is recalling some grape tomatoes that could potentially be contaminated with salmonella.
Front Row Produce says it is recalling 10-ounce pint and 10-pound bulk grape tomatoes supplied by Rio Queen Citrus of Mission, Texas.
The recalled produce was distributed to foodservice distributors and retail stores in Missouri and Illinois.
No illnesses have been reported. Front Row Produce says contamination was discovered after random testing by Rio Queen Citrus.
Starting Thursday, shipments of the 10-ounce packages sold in retail stores will include a green lot number sticker on the bottom side of each package with a seven-digit number. Packages that do not contain the green sticker should be considered suspect and under recall.
Consumers with questions can call Front Row Produce at 314-241-4700.

In this episode, recorded on December 9, 2013, I have the awesome Qudduws (or "Q"), founder of The Button Smashers Blog and Button Smashers Podcast join me on the show. Q founded BSB to create not just a simple nerd-culture community, but a "family" of like-minded people, and this attitude shows in the overall atmosphere created on the site and in the podcasts. As a new editor on BSB, I really found this podcast to be invigorating and informative!

- SPQR was one of the original cafes in Ponsonby and its popularity has stood the test of time. It is now a sophisticated upmarket restaurant and bar rather than a simple café. It has a certain energy; the later it gets the more it seems to buzz. It draws an eclectic crowd from gays, lesbians and cross-dressers to business people and straights; people watching is a treat here. The beautifully presented food is Italian. Some examples from the menu include char-grilled calamari salad with rocket, roast garlic and lemon oil, and seared, rare tuna with smoked tomato, salsa, rocket, balsamic and caroli oil.

Today, we are only a few weeks away from the birth of our little boy. Feeling overwhelmed by my lack of blog posting, I have finally come to the conclusion (with good conscience!) that I need to take full advantage of these few weeks to spend quality time with my oldest while continuing to nurture this little one still growing inside me.
While anxiously awaiting the birth of our son, there's part of me that's a little bittersweet. I love spending days with my three-year old girl — building tents, learning to read, cooking together, etc. I know all of that will change – at least temporarily. Tired (and HUGE!) as I am, I am trying to soak up every precious minute with her until her sweet little brother arrives.
I have heard from many parents-of-two (or more) that it's natural to feel apprehensive about adding an additional child, but in the end, your heart expands to equally love all your children. While I am certain this is true, I'd love to hear how it applied to all of you in real life. Please share your thoughts! In the meantime, I'll be sure to post pictures of the little one when he's born and get back to blogging as soon as the time is right.
Anxiously awaiting this baby boy!

There are a lot of online storages, starting from the very cheap to very expensive, but price doesn't guarantee the quality of the services. We always want to use services given by reputable and well-known companies to ensure our data's security and accessibility. It will be useless if we put our data in online storage and that data can be accessed easily by other people, right? (more…)
These days, there are so many electronic devices that using LEDs technology. What is LED? LEDs (Light-emitting diodes) were actually an accidental discovery at 20th century, when electricity applied to the semiconductor Silicon Carbide (SiC) and produced a light. Because the light was too dim to be of any use, so the research was never distributed. But that was the start. (more…)
Getting additional income without adding our working time is everybody's dream. Thus, share trading has become very popular media to add extra money to our income. It doesn't require our existence, our full time, but sometimes it can earn money more than our prime job. It is even easier without the share trading platform that can be accessed online, such as the one provided by CMC Markets. (more…)
Toilets are an essential part of our everyday lives. We believe that all of us tend to go to toilet very much do not think about it too much until we find that we desperately need a toilet and nothing can be found. Toilets that we are used to using are a relatively recent invention, and used to be only affordable by the wealthy people. (more…)

My cutting |
Dec 05 2008 |
has been getting worse and worse lately and i don't know why. Like im on prozac and that helped before. and i also have been seeing a couselor person. But my cutting has been becoming more and moreintense and i need it nearly everyday. Where as before id be alright for nearly 3 or 4 days before i needed it again. I don't know why this is happening. But i don't like it. It kept me from donating blood yesterday. and the guilt of that made me cut again, and really bad, there was blood all over...i don't know what i am going to do. like i feel really lost and alone right now

*Hugs* I am so sorry that you are going through this. I have found that my cutting would increase when I was introduced to a new stress - even something that is not "typically" grouped in the stressful genre of life. It is scary and for me it would last until I could figure out what triggered it to begin with. Then I could rectify the situation. If you need to talk, you can PM me. *Hugs*. You aren't alone. Know that.

Men? What about women? They catch HIV/AIDS too.
I knew a little girl, 17, who had full blown AIDS and was dying. She was born HIV positive and her mother died from AIDS at some time in the past.
This little girl never had a life because she was always kept away from other children. And she was going to die from a horrible disease. She didn't do anything wrong and she was being punished anyway.
I know how many of you feel about "entitled" people, but no one deserves to die the way this child did, not for any reason. I hope this drug helps.
"I hope this drug helps."
As do I, as should all people thinking themselves to be "good" people.

I got within 40 stitches of finishing the bind-off around the collar of my raglan sweater last night. I was so desperately tempted to stay up another half hour and finish, but my fiance was sighing, rolling his eyes, and complaining about how he was so tired. He could hardly keep his eyes open. What a baby!
So now, I'm at work and I cannot concentrate at all. I keep imagining those stitches, waiting at home for me. I can feel how difficult the bind-off is, how I'll have to push the tighter stitches off the needle carefully, making sure I don't drop any stitches. I like watching my very last ball of yarn slowly dwindle, and basking in the knowledge that I bought just the right amount (well, the second time...) Also, I'm looking forward to finishing it and getting some good pictures - I'm ridiculously proud of how well this sweater is turning out, especially given the knitting disasters I've suffered recently.
In other words, I want to go home, and its only 3:30. This day will never end.

No mistrial in Fla. foster child slaying
MIAMI (AP) -- A judge has refused to declare a mistrial in the case of a South Florida woman accused of killing a young foster child even though a prosecutor's law license had been suspended for months before the trial began.
Circuit Judge Marisa Tinkler-Mendez ruled Tuesday against the mistrial motion made by defense lawyers for 66-year-old Geralyn Graham.
Officials said the problem involved prosecutor Joshua Weintraub's failure to record legal education course numbers properly with the state bar. Weintraub's license was reinstated Tuesday.
Graham faces a potential life sentence if convicted of first-degree murder and other charges in the case of 4-year-old Rilya Wilson, whose body has never been found. Graham insists she is innocent.

text: So I got some Transaderm from Un*****ed Supplements, and it looked fine. However, I noticed that the bottle was not sealed and after letting it sit vertical, the cream slides down and the bottle only appears to be 60%-70% full. It appears that everything is okay and that the product is fine, but does anybody know if this is normal? Should I be concerned at all?

This town is a dot on most maps, but guidebooks mysteriously have no entry for it. There's nothing to visit here unless you have a permit -- which requires a police affidavit that you are not a criminal.
On modern maps, the 180-mile stretch of Atlantic coastline above it is called simply ''Diamond Area No. 1.'' The old maps from the days of German rule are more truthful: Sperrgebiet -- Forbidden Area.
Once upon a time, this was a chapter from the Tales of Sinbad come alive -- a beach where diamonds lay in the sand.
They still do. Only now 33 million tons of sand a year must be shoveled away to reach them.
First, huge bulldozers push the ocean back 200 yards. Giant bucket wheels dig 50 feet of sand off 6 feet of diamond-bearing gravel. Whirling brushes mounted on front-loaders sweep it up. And finally, men with hand brushes and hoses attached to Brobdingnagian vacuum cleaners walk the bedrock, scooping grit out of holes dug by waves in the Cretaceous Period more than 100 million years ago.

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the contribution of clinically-confirmed diabetes mellitus to tuberculosis (TB) rates in communities where both diseases are prevalent as a way to identify opportunities for TB prevention among diabetic patients.
METHODS: This is a prospective study in which TB patients > 20 years old at TB clinics in the Texas-Mexico border were tested for diabetes. The risk of tuberculosis attributable to diabetes was estimated from statistics for the corresponding adult population.
FINDINGS: The prevalence of diabetes among TB patients was 39% in Texas and 36% in Mexico. Diabetes contributed 25% of the TB cases studied, whereas human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection contributed 5% or fewer. Among TB patients, fewer Mexicans than Texans were aware that they had diabetes before this study (4% and 19%, respectively). Men were also less frequently aware than women that they had diabetes (P = 0.03). Patients who knew that they had diabetes before the study had an 8-year history of the disease, on average, before being diagnosed with TB.
CONCLUSION: Patients with diabetes are at higher risk of contracting TB than non-diabetic patients. Integrating TB and diabetes control programmes worldwide would facilitate TB prevention among diabetes patients and increase the number of diabetics who learn of their condition, particularly among males. Such a strategy would lead to earlier case detection and improve the management of both TB and diabetes.
OBJECTIF: Évaluer la contribution aux taux de tuberculose (TB) du diabète sucré cliniquement avéré dans les communautés où les deux maladies sont répandues afin de l'utiliser comme méthode d'identification des possibilités de prévention de la TB chez les patients diabétiques.
MÉTHODES: Il s'agit d'une étude prospective au cours de laquelle des patient âgés de 20 ans et plus, atteints de tuberculose et hospitalisés dans des cliniques spécialisées de la frontière entre le Texas et le Mexique, ont subi des tests pour le diabète. Le risque de tuberculose attribuable au diabète a été évalué à partir des statistiques concernant la population adulte correspondante.
RÉSULTATS: La prévalence du diabète chez les patients atteints de tuberculose s'élevait à 39% au Texas et à 36% au Mexique. Le diabète représentait 25% des cas de TB étudiés, tandis que les infections provoquées par le virus de l'immunodéficience humaine (VIH) ne représentaient que 5% ou moins. Parmi les patients atteints de tuberculose, les Mexicains étaient moins nombreux que les Texans à savoir qu'ils étaient diabétiques avant cette étude (4% contre 19% respectivement). De même, les hommes étaient plus rarement informés de leur diabète que les femmes (P=0,03). Les patients se sachant diabétiques avant cette étude étaient, en moyenne, malades depuis 8 ans avant que la TB ne soit diagnostiquée chez eux.
CONCLUSION: Les patients atteints de diabète risquent davantage de contracter la TB que les non-diabétiques. L'intégration à l'échelle planétaire des programmes de contrôle de la TB et du diabète faciliterait la prévention contre la TB chez les patients diabétiques et augmenterait le nombre de diabétiques informés de leur maladie, notamment chez les hommes. Ce type de stratégie permettrait de détecter plus tôt la maladie et d'améliorer la gestion tant de la TB que du diabète.
OBJETIVO: Evaluar la contribución de la diabetes mellitus confirmada clínicamente a las tasas de tuberculosis (TB) en comunidades en las que ambas enfermedades son prevalentes, de manera que se puedan identificar las posibilidades de prevención de la TB entre los pacientes diabéticos.
MÉTODOS: En este estudio prospectivo se realizaron diversas pruebas de detección de la diabetes, en pacientes con TB, con una edad igual o superior a 20 años, procedentes de clínicas para la tuberculosis situadas en la frontera entre Texas y México. El riesgo de tuberculosis atribuible a la diabetes se calculó a partir de las estadísticas para la población adulta correspondiente.
RESULTADOS: La prevalencia de la diabetes entre los pacientes con TB fue del 39% en Texas y del 36% en México. La diabetes contribuyó en un 25% de los casos de TB estudiados, mientras que la infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) contribuyó en un 5% o menos. Antes de este estudio, una cantidad menor de mexicanos que de texanos con tuberculosis desconocía padecer diabetes (4% y 19% respectivamente). La proporción de hombres que sabían que padecían diabetes fue menor que la de mujeres (P=0,03). Los pacientes que sabían que padecían diabetes antes del estudio contaban con antecedentes médicos de la enfermedad, durante 8 años de media, antes de ser diagnosticados de TB.
CONCLUSIÓN: Los pacientes con diabetes tienen un mayor riesgo de contraer tuberculosis que los pacientes que no la padecen. Los programas que integren el control de la diabetes y la tuberculosis en todo el mundo facilitarían la prevención de la tuberculosis entre los pacientes con diabetes y aumentarían el número de diabéticos que serían conocedores de su afección, especialmente entre los hombres. Una estrategia como ésta conllevaría una detección más precoz y mejoraría la gestión tanto de la tuberculosis como de la diabetes.
Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be the leading killer among bacterial diseases worldwide. In 2009, more than 9 million new cases were diagnosed and 1.7 million people died from the disease.1 The World Health Organization (WHO) suspects that TB control is being undermined by the growing number of patients with diabetes mellitus in the world, which currently stands at an estimated 285 million but is anticipated to reach 438 million by 2030.2,3 Prior to the 1950s reports of an association between diabetes (primarily type 1) and TB were frequent in the literature, but they waned as insulin and drugs against TB became available.4,5 This association (now with type 2 diabetes) was recognized again in the 1990s6-9 and is currently supported by a growing body of literature.6-17 According to a recent meta-analysis, diabetes patients have three times the risk of contracting TB as non-diabetics (95% confidence interval, CI: 2.3-4.3)18 and studies report the fraction of TB cases attributable to diabetes to be between 15% and 25%.9,13,16 The biological basis for the association between both diseases is not fully understood but studies suggest that diabetes depresses the immune response, which in turn facilitates infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and/or progression to symptomatic disease. This is corroborated by the fact that diabetes is generally diagnosed before TB develops.4,19-22
Despite the suggested importance of diabetes as a risk factor for TB, most contemporary studies are based on secondary data or self-reported diabetes status.6-17 The contribution of diabetes to the burden of TB may be more conspicuous in countries where both diseases are highly prevalent: Bangladesh, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, and the Russian Federation are high-burden countries and rank among the 10 countries with the highest numbers of diabetes patients2,23 and also classified as high-burden for TB. However, the risk of TB attributable to diabetes has only been reported for India and it was estimated from secondary data.13 We need to gain a deeper understanding of the differences between TB patients with and without diabetes to assist in the development of guidelines to prevent co-morbidity.
Our research team is strategically located on the Texas-Mexico border, where TB is endemic. In 2007 the overall incidence of TB was 10.5 cases per 100 000 in south Texas and 38 per 100 000 in north-eastern Mexico (personal communications, JL Robles, Secretaría de Salud de Tamaulipas [SSA-Tamaulipas]; Brian Smith and Nita Ngo, Texas Department of State and Health Services [DSHS]). Diabetes prevalence among adults over the age of 20 years is 19.4% in South Texas and 15.1% in northeastern Mexico.24,25 Our previous studies were conducted with data extracted from existing surveillance databases for TB control and were based on self-reported diabetes.17 In this study our objective was to estimate the risk of TB attributable to diabetes in this population along the Mexican border using primary data from patients newly diagnosed with TB and tested for diabetes.
Patient enrolment
Referral patients with probable TB were enrolled between March 2006 and September 2008 at the TB clinics in Hidalgo and Cameron County Health Departments, which are the TB reference centres for South Texas counties (South Texas), and the SSA-Tamaulipas in Matamoros, Mexico (north-eastern Mexico). Jail inmates and individuals < 20 years of age were excluded. Individuals fulfilling the inclusion criteria but refusing to participate (n = 80; 95% from South Texas) did not differ with respect to age, gender, race or ethnicity from those enrolled (data not shown). Participants signed informed consent. The study was approved by the institutional review boards of the participating institutions in Mexico and the United States.
For TB diagnosis we used standard WHO definitions: culture positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (confirmed case), sputum smear positive for acidfast bacilli when culture data were not available (smear-positive case), or clinical diagnosis only when microbiological test results were negative or not available (clinical case: symptoms compatible with TB and documentation of anti-TB treatment for at least 6 months).26 Participants in whom TB was ruled out or whose test results were inconclusive were excluded (Fig. 1). We used the American Diabetes Association classification guidelines for epidemiological studies: hyperglycaemia and/or self-reported diabetes.27 To measure blood glucose we used blood anticoagulated with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and a hand-held glucometer (AccuCheck Advantage, Roche Indianapolis, United States of America). We defined hyperglycaemia as fasting blood glucose > 126 mg/dl or a random blood glucose > 200 mg/dl. We froze whole EDTA-treated blood and batch tested it for glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) (GLYCO-Tek Affinity Column, Beaumont, USA) and we defined chronic hyperglycaemia as HbA1c > 6.5%.28 HIV antibody tests were performed on 222 (95%) of the TB patients at the health departments or in our laboratory (Mulitspot HIV-1/HIV-2 rapid test; Biorad Laboratories, Redmond, USA). In all other cases (11, or 5%) HIV status was based on self-reporting. Using the validated quantity frequency questions described previously, we defined alcohol abuse on the basis of consumption frequency and on the average number of alcoholic drinks consumed in a typical day.29 We defined alcohol abuse as at least one weekly episode of drinking seven drinks or more or binge drinking (at least two monthly episodes of drinking 10 drinks or more). Past or present drug abuse was self-reported. Household income was self-reported and we have reported the data in dollars (average exchange rate of 11 Mexican pesos to one United States dollar (US$) during the study period). We recorded height and weight to calculate the body mass index [BMI, (weight in pounds × 703)/(height in inches)2] and we classified patients as underweight (BMI < 18·5), normal (18·5 < BMI < 25), overweight (25 < BMI < 30) or obese (BMI > 30).
Sources of data from the general population
For South Texas we estimated the prevalence of diabetes among adults 20 years of age or older from our community-based cohort, an ongoing population-based study in Cameron county in which the interview instrument used and the definition of diabetes are the same as in the present TB study.24,27 The incidence of TB and the prevalence of HIV infection were provided by Nita Ngo (personal communication, Texas DSHS) and we obtained the estimated population for 2005-2007 from the United States Census Bureau.30 For north-eastern Mexico we took the prevalence of diabetes from a study conducted in the United States-Mexico border population.25 Statistics for HIV infection and TB and the population size for the city of Matamoros were provided by JL Robles and JS Hernández, SSA-Tamaulipas (personal communication) and from published data.25,31
Data analysis
The study design followed STROBE guidelines.32 We used two-sample t-tests to compare continuous variables and χ2 or Fisher's exact tests for categorical variables. Given the low incidence of TB and HIV infection in our study populations and because our estimation of odds ratios and relative risks (RRs) yielded similar numbers, we report RRs in this study. For each specific exposure variable (diabetes or HIV infection), the association with TB is expressed as an RR using the following formula:
We calculated the prevalence of exposure to diabetes among new TB cases, p(exposed|new TB cases) directly from our study data, and we obtained the prevalence of exposure to diabetes among the general population, p(exposed), from the aforementioned surveillance data. To calculate the 95% CI of the RR, we first calculated the exact binomial CI of p(exposed|new TB cases), denoted by (r1, r2). P(exposed) is considered a constant because it is estimated with a much larger sample size. The 95% CI of the RR is then given by (r1/(1-r1) × (1-p(exposed))/p(exposed), r2/(1-r2) × (1-p(exposed))/p(exposed)). The attributable risk among general population, ARpopulation, is defined as the proportion of incidence rate of TB due to diabetes or HIV infection in the general population that would be reduced if the exposure were eliminated and is estimated by ARpopluation= p(exposed)(RR-1)/[1 + p(exposed)(RR-1)]. The attributable risk among the exposed (to diabetes or HIV infection in our study), ARexposed, is defined as the reduction in the incidence of TB among the exposed population that would be experienced if the exposure were eliminated. It is estimated by ARexposed=1-1/RR. Data were analysed with SAS version 9.1 (SAS Institute, Cary, USA). Significance was set at P < 0.05 and marginal significance at P < 0.10.
Characteristics of enrolled patients
A total of 333 TB suspects were enrolled in the study, and 233 fulfilled the criteria for analysis: 61 in South Texas and 172 in north-eastern Mexico (Fig. 1). All participants had pulmonary TB: 109 (46.8%) were confirmed by culture (55 in South Texas and 54 in north-eastern Mexico), 118 (50.6%) had a positive sputum smear (3 in South Texas and 115 in north-eastern Mexico) and 6 (2.6%) had clinical TB (3 in South Texas and 3 in north-eastern Mexico). Most TB patients were born in Mexico. Nearly all were Hispanics and more than 60% were male (Table 1). Patients from north eastern Mexico were younger, more likely to be employed and less educated than those from South Texas. Mexican patients were more likely to abuse alcohol or consume illicit drugs than South Texas patients. Cigarette smoking was reported by one third of the 170 participants (34% Texas; 29% Mexico; data not shown). HIV infection rates were low. South Texas patients had a higher average BMI. Diabetes was common in patients from both countries: 39.% in South Texas and 36% in north-eastern Mexico (Table 1). Among diabetes patients, those from north-eastern Mexico were less likely to be aware that they had diabetes before this study [1/25 (4.2%) in South Texas, 12/62 (19.4%) in north-eastern Mexico)], a finding more common among males (12 males versus 1 female, P = 0·03). More than two thirds of the diabetes patients had chronic hyperglycaemia.
Reference populations for diabetes prevalence
The prevalence of diabetes among South Texas adults was estimated at 19.5%.24 Cameron county cohort participants resembled TB patients in their age distribution, ethnicity, Mexican origin (66%), low education and socioeconomic status. The self-reported average annual household incomes, by quartiles, were $7470, $12 000, $20 000 and $300 000. In contrast, the cohort had a higher proportion of females (67%) and obese individuals (60%).
There were three possible sources of diabetes prevalence estimates from the general population in north-eastern Mexico: (i) a nationwide study conducted in 2000 (9.5%);33 (ii) a report from a diabetes prevention programme on the United States-Mexico border conducted from 2001-2002 data (15.1%);25,31 and (iii) unpublished data from the SSATamaulipas (15%). Although they did not provide detailed sociodemographic data for the Mexican participants, we used the last two sources because their figures were similar and more recent and because they would yield a more conservative estimate of attributable risk. For the United States-Mexico border study, combined statistics for the 4027 participants from both sides of the border (2122 from Mexican states, among these 331 from Tamaulipas) showed a relatively homogeneous age distribution (nearly 20% in each age group), a predominance of females (71%) and high rates of overweight (37%) and obesity (38%).
TB risk attributable to diabetes or HIV infection
The prevalence of diabetes was significantly higher among TB patients from the two study sites than among the corresponding general populations (39.3% versus 19.5% in South Texas; 36.0% versus 15.1% in north-eastern Mexico).24,25 Taking into account these statistics and the TB incidence among adults(18 per 100 000 in South Texas and 32 per 100 000 in north-eastern Mexico), we estimated that in both countries diabetes patients had three times the risk of developing TB as non-diabetics and that those aged 35 to 64 years had five times the risk (Table 2 ; no data for north-eastern Mexico). The estimated fraction of TB cases attributable to diabetes in adults 20 years old or older was 26% in South Texas and 24% in north-eastern Mexico (Table 2). In South Texas, this figure increased to 48% among individuals 35-64 years old. The fraction of TB cases attributable to diabetes across the population was 63% in South Texas and 68% in north-eastern Mexico.
Based on the official prevalence of HIV infection (0.19% for South Texas and 0.24% for north-eastern Mexico), similar calculations for HIV infection indicated that the contribution of this exposure to TB was < 5% at the population level and 94% among HIV-positive individuals in both countries. Altogether, these data indicate that HIV infection is a major risk factor at the individual level, but that diabetes has a larger impact on TB at the population level.
TB patients with diabetes
Given the important contribution of diabetes to TB incidence, we further characterized TB patients to define the profile of those with diabetes. To do this we merged the data sets from both countries. TB patients with diabetes were more likely to be older and overweight or obese and less likely to abuse alcohol or drugs (Table 3). Smoking did not differ significantly between TB patients with diabetes or without it (24% and 34%, respectively) [(odds ratio: 0.6; 95% CI: 0.3-1.2), data not shown].
Although diabetes is a recognized risk factor for TB, whether TB induces a transient hyperglycaemia that would be classified as "diabetes" remains controversial.34 We found that patients with diabetes had been aware of having diabetes for approximately 8 years on average before their TB diagnosis, and they were more likely to report co-morbidities classically associated with diabetes than patients without diabetes (data not shown). These data suggest that TB developed in patients who already had diabetes.
Our study shows that the prevalence of diabetes among TB patients from adjacent populations in South Texas and north-eastern Mexico is very high and among the highest in the world.6-17 One quarter of the cases of TB in these medically-underserved communities along the Texas-Mexico border were attributable to diabetes. With diabetes on the rise in TB-endemic areas, our findings highlight the re-emerging impact of diabetes, now type 2, on TB control in regions of the world where both diseases are prevalent.
Our study was designed to estimate the contribution of diabetes to TB. To accurately define diabetes, we used primary data collected prospectively from newly-diagnosed TB patients. However, the study has some limitations. First, we may have overestimated the prevalence of diabetes because TB can cause transient hyperglycaemia.8,35 If so, our margin of error is < 3% based on the concordance between our current definition based on hyperglycaemia as well as self-reported diabetes and the stricter definition based solely on chronic hyperglycaemia (HbA1c > 6.5%; kappa 0.93; 95% CI: 0.88-0.98).
Second, inherent biases in data sets may have affected the comparison of TB patient data with data from the corresponding adult populations. We carefully selected age-matched data from official health department statistics or research studies in which diabetes was confirmed with blood tests. For South Texas the methods used to characterize the general population and TB patients were nearly-identical, but sociodemographic data for Mexico were less detailed. The data suggest that in both countries the proportion of females and the average BMI were higher in the general population than among TB patients, not surprisingly since TB is more prevalent among males and can cause dramatic weight loss. In any event, even if obesity in the general populations were overrepresented, this would lead to an underestimation of the TB risk attributable to diabetes because people with obesity are more prone to diabetes than people of normal weight.2,27
A third limitation comes from the assumptions made in calculating attributable risk: that a causal association exists between diabetes and TB and that other risk factors for TB are equally distributed among TB patients with and without diabetes. In our study, known risk factors for TB were less frequent among TB patients with diabetes (Table 3). Therefore, our attributable risk calculations may be underestimates of the contribution of diabetes to TB. Finally, M. tuberculosis infection was not confirmed by culture in a substantial number of participants. Nevertheless, we are now conducting routine culture on all TB suspects and find that only 0.5% of smear-positive cases have atypical mycobacteria.
Nearly all our diabetes patients (particularly in South Texas) were aware of having diabetes for at least 6 months before being diagnosed with TB. These findings reveal that diabetic patients with TB are not new to the health-care system and highlight the fact that opportunities for preventing TB among diabetes patients are often missed. While not all diabetes patients with latent TB infection should take prophylactic treatment,36 such patients should be made aware of their risk of TB and should discuss with their physicians the potential risks and benefits of taking preventive anti-TB treatment. Our findings and what is currently known about the natural history of TB suggest that people with a history of diabetes and its complications who have had recent contact with a TB patient are prime candidates for preventive treatment. This would involve screening contacts for diabetes during contact investigations, a measure that would be most cost-efficient if only contacts 35 years or older were targeted. In our setting, diabetic individuals 35-64 years of age accounted for nearly 50% of the TB cases in this age group. These measures will also make it necessary to update the educational curriculum of health professionals to increase their awareness of the re-emerging association between TB and diabetes.
The impact of diabetes on TB control varies by country. In the United States TB rates are disproportionately higher among Hispanics, African Americans and American Indians, all of whom are also at higher risk for diabetes. Further research on the contribution of diabetes to TB in these populations is needed.7,37,38 In other regions of the world the contribution of diabetes to TB is largely unknown Of the seven countries that have the highest numbers of TB and diabetes patients in the world, India is the only one for which the risk of TB attributable to diabetes has been reported, based on secondary data. The results suggest an important contribution (20% for smear-positive TB)13 that warrants further investigation.
Our findings suggest that in Mexico the fraction of diabetics who know they have the illness is lower than in South Texas, especially among males, and the same may be true in other developing countries. Better access to health care in the United States may explain why awareness is higher, even though South Texas is one of the country's poorest regions.30 This finding points to the potential benefits of partially integrating TB and diabetes control programmes worldwide. Males may benefit the most given the higher prevalence of TB among them39 and the fact that the acute symptoms of TB often motivate them to present to the health system. In contrast, type 2 diabetes is insidious and can persist for years without diagnosis when access to medical care is limited.40 Delayed diagnosis occurs when patients present with complications from chronic hyperglycaemia. The infrastructure for TB control could serve to improve the early detection of diabetes patients, particularly in developing countries. In light of these findings, diabetes control worldwide could be greatly enhanced by the sharing of resources, experience and infrastructure among resource-limited programmes for TB and diabetes control.41

Port-a-potty board
Coming in Spring of 2007 and promising an "instant change in skateboarding" the Port-a-Board skateboard not only breaks the deck down into three pieces, but the trucks are also on some sort of binding system that allows them to pop off for easy storage and transport. With a name like "Port-A-Board" you leave yourself open to the inevitable potty joke. I know I couldn't resist, or maybe I'm just lazy. Portable skateboards are nothing new, but this one might have more of a chance than the Stowboard. At least the basic mechanics operate like a regular skateboard, rendering null and voiding any arguement against bringing a skateboard to school. Performance-wise, I'll be a monkey's uncle if this thing can actually stand up to some serious action, although that shouldn't be a problem for most kids who usually just stand around at a skate park. Watch the video complete with dramatic soundtrack and more after the jump
UPDATE: Fixed the link to the Port-a-board web site. Sorry.
The web site is short on actual pictures of the product and long on hype. Click the pic to enlarge:
