A phase IV on T2DM with BMI < 25 kg/m2 and age 14-40 years.
Primary Objectives:
- To investigate phenotype (body composition, anthropometry, pancreatic imaging and endocrine function, insulin resistance, autoantibodies, and other biochemical variables) and genetic (known mutations and polymorphisms) correlates in young (age 14-40 years) diabetic patients (non-type 1).
Secondary Objectives:
- To study anthropometric and body fat distribution including truncal fat, subcutaneous and intra-abdominal fat in non-obese young patients with diabetes (non-type 1).
- To study whether insulin secretion, insulin resistance or a combination of both is/are the predominant defect(s) in non-obese young diabetics (non-type 1).
- To study the prevalence of autoimmunity and/or specific genetic abnormalities in this subgroup of diabetics.
- To estimate approximate prevalence of diagnostic subcategories based on the sample of population, and profile of complications in each category.
- To propose rational use of specialized investigations (e.g. GAD65, HNF-1α mutations etc) while investigating a newly diagnosed young diabetic.
- To determine the rational therapeutic option and prognosis in this sub-population of diabetics based on anthropometric, biochemical, and etiological profiles.
- Sample size: 205 patients to be enrolled and 120 patients to be enrolled for sub group study

CERTI comes with two main executables: RTIA and RTIG.
If ones want to properly execute an HLA simulation using CERTI one must: (FIXME more detail to come).
CERTI uses a set of environment variables which may influence its execution behavior.
Variable | Used by | Description |
CERTI_HOME | RTIG | the CERTI installation base directory. This is used by the RTIG in order to look for FOM files (see RTIG). |
CERTI_HOST | RTIA | machine on which RTIG is running. As soon as it starts the RTIA will try to connect to the RTIG running on CERTI_HOST (see RTIA). |
CERTI_TCP_PORT | RTIG, RTIA | TCP port used for RTIA/RTIG communications |
CERTI_UDP_PORT | RTIG, RTIA | UDP port used for RTIA/RTIG communications |
CERTI_HTTP_PROXY | RTIA | HTTP proxy address in the format http://host:port. See HTTP tunneling. |
http_proxy | RTIA | System-wide HTTP proxy address used if CERTI_HTTP_PROXY is not defined. |
CERTI_NO_STATISTICS | RTIA | if set, do not display service calls statistics |
The CERTI RunTime Infrastructure Gateway (RTIG) is a process which coordinate the HLA simulation with CERTI, there should be at least one rtig process for each federation. However a single RTIG may be used for several federations. The command line usage of the RTIG is following:
Once the RTIG is launched an HLA Federate may interact with the RTI. In fact a federate does not talk to the RTIG directly but it uses its RTIA. RTIG is listening to RTIA connection on TCP port:
The RTIG exchange messages with the RTIA in order to satify HLA request coming from the Federate. In particular RTIG is responsible for giving to the Federate (through its RTIA) the FOM file needed to create or join the federation. RTIG tries to open FOM file from different predefined places:.
The CERTI RunTime Infrastructure Ambassador (RTIA) is a process which is automatically launched by the federate as soon as its RTIambassador is created. The command line usage of the RTIA is following:
Open a windows command prompt and run the RTIG.
Open another windows command prompt and run the billard program.

PARIS, April 24, 2012 (WAFA) – The French government Tuesday condemned Israeli legalization of three settlement outposts and the destruction of water cisterns in the West Bank, according to two separate French Foreign Ministry statements.
"France condemns this declared legalization, which sends a very negative signal contrary to the interests of peace in the region," said one statement.
It said that since France considers all Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem illegal and an obstacle to peace, Israel has an obligation to dismantle all the settlement outposts as called for in the road map of the Middle East peace quartet.
France also condemned the Israeli destruction of two French-financed water cisterns on Monday in the Hebron area that were supposed to be used for the development of the Palestinian communities in the area.
It called on Israel to stop the destruction of vital Palestinian projects in Area C of the West Bank, which is under full Israeli control, but considered by the French government as important for the development of the future Palestinian state.
The statement said the French government will raise this complaint with the Israeli embassy in Paris as well as with officials in Israel.

What lucky Bears we were – going to two fun food events in two nights. Just 24 hours after enjoying an amazing evening of food and hospitality at Yuki's supperclub, we headed back up to London to go to FoodCycle's Forgotten Feast, cooked by Tom Hunt.
I'm always happy to be greeted by a smiling face and a glass of something fizzy. Even happier to be greeted by girl who had volunteered to help a good cause for the evening and a Bellini – my absolute favourite. I have to say, although tasty, it would really have benefited by being mixed slightly – the sweet peach puree rested at the bottom and didn't really flavour the drink until the very end.
Not to fret too much, because after a little bit of people watching and cocktail sipping, trays of hor d'eouvres were upon us. A delicately flavoured beetroot dip, much more subtle than the colour would suggest. Piles of fresh and crisp veggies to dip in – the highlight was the courgette. It made me realise that we should really eat raw courgette more often. Laughably, these veggies were the Raggy Dolls of the vegetable world; ugly, unwanted and unloved. Either due to overproduction or plain ol' aesthetics, these were veggies that no-one else wanted. It's barely worth mentioning how stupid that is, and it's my belly's gain.
Then another friendly, smiley girl walked past, brandishing a board of delicious sourdough croutons. Awesome bread, drizzled with oil and toasted, and topped with a summery peperonata. The third canape was so good that we didn't even get a picture of it – courgette and feta fritters with spiced labneh. So delicious, one of my all-time favourite nibbles, these fritters were light and heady with cumin and lemon thyme. My own courgette and feta fritter recipe may just have got pimped.As we stood, drinking and nibbling, our chef for the evening came out to introduce the menu. Tom Hunt is an eco-chef committed to sustainability and campaigning against food waste. He spoke with real passion about the food, about where the food was sourced from, and about the generosity of the suppliers; 90% of the food for this evening was donated. It was inspiring stuff, and was swiftly followed by a quick chat from Eloise, from FoodCycle. She spoke with equal passion about the work the charity does – reappropriating surplus food from supermarkets and farmers markets, using teams of volunteers to make tasty and nutritious food, tackling food poverty and social isolation. Again, inspiring stuff, and worth supporting.
So, with food for thought it was time for food for our bellies. We were shown to the dining rooms downstairs. Like at Yuki's, we were some of the last people to be seated but, again like at Yuki's, we were lucky to sit with a really lovely group of people. Six people that had all come to the event together, so we could have been little gooseberries perched on the end of the table, but they were welcoming and friendly, chatting with us all evening. We all rubbernecked around the room, seeing who else was around and glancing longingly at the kitchen door, waiting for food. Then a girl came out and plonked two raw potatoes on our table.
Hmmm, this may be taking things a bit too far – the least they could do would be to cook this surplus potato! Turns out, it was just to mark out the Nut Allergy Person and Shellfish Allergy Person on our table.
Thank goodness the starter arrived! Waaay tastier than a raw potato, mackerel escabeche with a foraged salad. Pleasingly for a girl from Kent, the salad was donated by a forager from the county, and had been gathered from fields and hedgerows, and the Kentish coastline. The mackerel was leftover from some cooking that Tom had done at Loveboxx last weekend. Finding himself with surplus, what's a boy to do but preserve it? Good thinking, as this was delicious. And the pickled carrot and courgette were wonderful.
As wonderful as the starter was, nothing could prepare us for the main course. Each table was presented with eleven dishes. ELEVEN. Wordy, wordy descriptions will have to take a backseat, for fear we'll never get to the end of this post: we'll let the photos do most of the talking.
Top billing: the pig's head porchetta. A labour of love, it took days to prepare. Tom boned out four pigs heads until he was left with a narrow strip of charcuterie. It was then rolled, cooked, pressed and thinly sliced. It was almost inexplicably textural: meltingly soft, tender, gelatinous, but with the occasional firmness from a tendon, a strand of muscle, a… I know not what. All I can say is: it was something that I would order again. It was real talent, truly skilled cooking, extraordinary creativity. I was sold.
The next dish was was home-salted sole, apparently abundant off the Cornish coast at the moment; sustainable and perfectly in season. It was deliciously firm, roasted with butter, mussels, sorrel, purslane and rock samphire. Bear wasn't so convinced by this but I was seduced by the delicate texture of the fish, the richness of the butter sauce and the salty, vibrant flavour of the sea vegetables.
Screamingly sweet roasted peppers with capers and reduced balsamic. Delicious.
Ovale tomatoes with a vividly fresh salsa verde. They looked perfect to us, but they were obviously considered not uniform enough for public consumption. What they lacked in absolute symmetry they more than made up for in true tomatoey taste, and were paired sublimely with the spiky sauce. Look at those colours!
It's not a particularly beautiful photo, but this was the the mushroom dish. Earthy, meaty mushrooms sautéed with oloroso sherry and breadcrumbs. The rustic breadcrumbs had turned into incredible nuggets of chewy toast that had soaked up the delicious flavours of the mushroom.
These carrots were my favourite. Roasted with cumin and sprinkled with parsley, they smelled incredible, aromatic and intense, and were amazingly flavourful.
It's not the best picture ever (we were at the best end of a bottle of prosecco) but the grilled courgettes and radicchio with garlic flowers, sesame seeds, labneh and cumin were tasty. Tom had obviously received a job lot of courgettes, as they featured three times in this menu. But, again, it was an indication of this creative evening, that they were used in three such different ways. Different, and flavourful. Their sweetness shone through when paired with bitter raddichio, and the Middle Eastern seasonings worked brilliantly.
These lentils weren't on the menu, so they were obviously an afterthought, but they were creamy, earthy, well-cooked. Along with a green salad and a beautiful sourdough bread (that Tom had named Cleo), this completed our epic feast.
It was a pleasant surprise that with so many dishes there wasn't a duff one on the table. It was intelligent to serve many of the dishes at room temperature, when serving so much food to so many people. They were all served on big platters so they could be shared around the table, which was perfect to draw strangers together. To share food and to share conversation: the evening felt like a real celebration.
Every celebration needs some cake, and this was a really good one! I was worried when it arrived in front of me, not being the world's biggest dessert fan, and feeling pretty stuffed from all the food that had been placed before me in the last two hours. But this was unexpectedly light, mousse-light but intensely chocolately, served with a wonderful disc of chewy caramelised beetroot, a sweet beetroot syrup and a light whisked cream. There was a vague touch of salt in the chocolate, so popular, but for good reason. It does exactly what it does in savoury dishes: seasons and emphasises flavours. Well played.
We'd come to the end of our bottle so there was time enough for a leisurely walk down Aldwych and the Charing Cross Road, a quick drink in Gordons, and then a train home to Kent. On the train home I looked over the menu and chatted to Bear about the food over the last two evenings. Incredible different – one precise, one more rustic; one gathering was elegant and intimate, the other relaxed and celebratory. But what they had in common was that they both had soul. They both made you feel relaxed and secure in the knowledge that the chef in charge had the best of intentions, and was here to look after you. I'm so tired of food that is about the ego of the chef, about the glory of the kitchen. Both Yuki and Tom are good at what they do simply because they don't fall into the ego-trap; it was clear from the food in front of us that this was about the glory of the food, and it tasted all the better for it.
We bought earlybird tickets for £30 through Event Brite. The event is now over but keep an eye on Event Brite or Edible Experiences for more events. You can also follow Tom Hunt and Food Cycle on Twitter for more information and updates on their brilliant work.

Saturday night, Gypsy Punk musicians Gogol Bordello brought their Pura Vida tour to a sold out crowd at Chicago music venue, Concord Music Hall. The night kicked off with the sizzling local act White Mystery. With several hundred all-ages fans eager to see their favorite riotous Rock band up close and personal, Eugene Hutz and company took the stage around 9pm with the frenzy and zeal live Gogol Bordello shows are known for.
In the third story venue, the floor bounced a good two or three inches as hundreds jumped in unison to the upbeat, rhapsodic Bordello tunes. Three songs in, most everyone on stage and off was dripping with sweat. Russian violinist Sergey Ryabtsev graced the front stage a dozen of times, with his feverish playing and enthusiastic demeanor. Elizabeth Sun sparkled as she sang and beat drums. Pedro Erazo hyped up the audience with his South American style of rap and percussion. The multi-national ensemble brought their A-game to the unique Bordello sound. As Hutz made his way to the audience during a song, enthusiastic fans stripped him of his guitar (which stagehands eventually got back). Hutz poetically got his overzealous fan revenge as he showered them with sweat and splashed red wine about the audience and security crew throughout the second half of the set. It was a typically rousing, visceral, energized Gogol Bordello show. After band introductions, all took their finals bows. Then Hutz came back out and treated the crowd one last melodic, acoustic number.
Click on the slideshow link above to see images from the night's show.
Located just down the street from the troubled Congress Theater, Concord Music Hall is Chicago's newest venue, slated to host numerous EDM, Rap, Rock, and Metal acts in the coming months.
Gogol Bordello setlist, August 17, 2013:
Not A Crime
Wonderlust King
Dig Seep Enough
Break the Spell
Sun is on My Side
John the Conqueror
Pala Tute
Lost Innocent World
I Just Realized
Bara Foro
We Shall Sail
Gogol Bordello is wrapping up most of their 2013 US tour dates, but there are a few opportunities to catch them in between their travels abroad.

Gossip Is Served…
Did Kristin Davis turn into a Cougar?
The Sex And The City star was so so disturbed when she saw Taylor Lautner's November GQ's shirtless photos.
"Oh, the youngster! He was the Sharkboy, and I played the mother of the other kid who imagined Sharkboy and Lavagirl in Robert Rodriguez's movie, and I met him down in Texas. He was a kid," Kristin tells MTV News about her former co-star. "He was a kid and he didn't have those muscles, and I don't know what happened. I see these pictures [now and] I can't believe it."
"I feel protective, like what is he doing without his shirt on? And then I hear he's dating people and I'm like, 'Ahh!'" says Kristin, who describes Taylor as a class act. "He's a great kid and he works really, really, really hard and he had a great professional ethic when I worked with him," she continued. "[He was] nothing of those negative things that you think of with child actors. So for anyone to be succeeding, I'm happy for him."

Pacey has a few TV pointers! While speaking to Us Weekly at the FOX All-Star party at Soho House in West Hollywood on Aug. 1, Diane Kruger -- who's starring as Detective Sonya Cross in the new FX series "The Bridge" -- explained that beau Joshua Jackson gave her a few tips about starring in a TV series.
PHOTOS: Stars who haven't wed -- yet
Indeed, Jackson, 35, has some resume experience for the 37-year-old actress, as he played the role of Pacey Witter in "Dawson's Creek" from 1998-2003.
"He definitely alerted me to mistakes that he made and hopefully I can avoid," she explained to Us.
The German beauty admitted that Jackson is a little bitter since her TV series experience is quite different from his WB days. "He hates me because my experience has been like, I'm home for dinner every night, I don't have to work every day, FX wants me to think creatively," she shared. "He's been on network television and it was very different."

She laughed, "It's been super creative for me and he kinda hates me for it!"
Luckily, the actress explained that he's been completely supportive of her, and both of their careers are in a good place at the moment.

A married couple who were severely injured when their motorcycle washit by a teen who was texting while driving has settled for $500,000.
The couple's attorney says that amount is the maximum the young man's insurance company will pay. However, they're currently still seeking further legal action.
[More from Mashable: The Small Biz Guide to Patents, Copyright and Trademarks]
David and Linda Kubert, the couple involved in the accident, were riding on a New Jersey road in fall 2009 when then 18-year-old Kyle Best, who was driving a truck -- allegedly with his elbows -- slammed into them.
Seconds before the crash, Best sent a text to his girlfriend Shannon Colonna. The Kuberts' lawyer argued that she was "electronically present" for the accident and persued legal action against her, too. The judge dismissed the claim against Colonna saying the someone who sends a text is no more responsible for an accident than a billboard.
[More from Mashable: AT&T's 'It Can Wait' Campaign Attempts To Curb Texting While Driving]
The campaign against texting-while-driving has been pushed into the spotlight recently by incidences of roadway deaths due to texting while behind the wheel.
AT&T, for example, is doing a pledge drive asking teens to promise to avoid texting while driving.
AT&T launched a tear-jerking video series with real stories of family members who lost loved ones due to texting and driving. The videos not only show the sadness the loss of life has caused for family and friends, but also highlights how trivial many text messages are by showing the deceases' last words -- lasts texts are often as banal as simply, "Yeah."
Despite the video campaign, teens admitted that they continue to text while driving in a survey recently released by AT&T. 97% of teens said they know that texting while driving is dangerous, but 75% say that the practice is still common among their friends. 89% answered that they reply to a text message or email within five minutes, whether they're driving or not.
What's your personal policy on texting while driving -- never, sometimes, often? Tell us in the comments.

Group Policy has been a standard element of domain management since Windows 2000 Server over a decade ago. However, Group Policy hasn't always kept up with the changes in desktop operating systems, limiting the amount of control network administrators can maintain over client machines.
That all changed with the introduction of Group Policy Preferences, introduced with Windows 2008 Server. By using GPP technology, Windows 2008 Server allows much more extensive control of client systems than ever before. Essentially anything that can be configured through the Control Panel of the client system can now be controlled through a Group Policy Object. But GPP is not limited to just Control Panel options. Administrators can now install printers (both local and network), map network drives without using ancient DOS-based batch scripts, modify registry entries, install applications, and control folders and files all from a simple Group Policy interface. And best of all, each of these features can be easily targeted to specific users, computers, or groups through a simple to use GUI. Yes, you can now easily control which users are assigned which network drives or printers right from a Group Policy without having to use cumbersome and buggy logon scripts!
Unfortunately, because GPP was introduced with Windows 2008 Server, it does not support clients older than Windows Vista out of the box. However, there is a small patch available from Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=3628) which enables support for GPP on Windows XP SP2 and SP3 machines. This patch can be easily deployed across a network using any typical patch deployment software platform. My personal favorite tool for doing this is PDQDeploy (http://www.adminarsenal.com/pdq-deploy/main/), which is an excellent, free utility.
Group Policy Preferences completely revolutionize network administration and management for Windows-based networks. However, it is still extremely common to see older-style GPOs and custom logon scripts being used at companies of all sizes even today. This results in unnecessary instability and difficulty in management for many networks. If you're concerned that your network may not be utilizing the powerful new features of Windows 2008 Server such as GPP, Contact Us today and one of our engineers will be more than happy to review your network infrastructure with you.

Oftentimes, users have a hard time adapting to new password policies on their network. Perhaps they are running an older version of Windows server or don't have a domain at all and use blank passwords or very simple passwords. Once they move to a Windows 2003 or 2008 network, they find their old passwords are no longer acceptable. Most times, users adapt and begin using more complex passwords, but sometimes users want to stick with their old password policy or modify the security level provided by the default Windows policy. Unfortunately, this is not as easy as it may seem.
In a standard Windows 2008 or 2003 domain, the password policy is pre-defined in the Default Domain Policy Group Policy Object. This policy is reasonably good for most configurations, though circumstances may vary from organization to organization. Unfortunately, while you can create new GPOs and configure password policy settings in them, they will have no effect. The only way to change the password policies of the domain is by editing the Default Domain Policy. In fact, even if you set the Default Domain Policy password options all to "Not Defined", the standard Active Directory defaults will remain; you must define all the values for any changes to take effect.
This has long been a limitation of Active Directory and newer versions of Windows have not adequately provided alternatives. In particular, some organizations wish to have multiple password policies, defining different restrictions and requirements for different sets of users. This has never been possible until Windows 2008.
While common sense would lead you to believe you could simply create new GPOs with custom password policies and assign those to the appropriate Organizational Units, this does not work. Instead, Microsoft has created an entirely new system specifically for multiple password policies. This system is is known as Fine Grained Password Policies. The basic process involves adding a new Active Directory object, known as a Password Settings Object (PSO), into a new container, known as the Password Settings Container (PSC). The steps necessary to do this are complex and involve using ADSIEdit to manually create the new objects. Microsoft provides a step-by-step explanation of the process (here)http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770842%28WS.10%29.aspx.
Over the past few years, there have been a couple of reliable, handy and FREE tools that I wouldn't leave the office without. I thought I would share a few of them.
SpecOps Remote Gpupdate
This software adds a set of tools to the Active Directory Users and Computers console that allows administrators to selectively perform remote Group Policy updates as well as restart and shutdown commands. This is very useful when deploying critical GPO's across the domain.
AnalogX Port Mapper
Port mapper allows you to map any port on one computer to any port on another computer. It also lets you filter the incoming IP address for enhanced security. One great use for this program is assigning remote desktop ports without the need to change the RDP port in the Windows registry.
This is by far the most consistent anti-spyware software that I have ever used. The interface is very simple and the technology behind its detection and removal process is top notch. These guys seem to stay on top of their game in the spyware removal world.
Using this custom GPO and software provided by Energy Star gives administrators the ability to centrally manage power settings on Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems. This is something that Microsoft did not develop for the Windows 2003 platform. You can deploy this FREE tool and save your company some serious coin on the power bill by ensuring that computers are set into standby when not in use.
Angry IP Scanner
IPScan is an awesome and simple network scanning utility. This is a great security tool because you can use it as port scanner as well as an IP scanner. It's great for finding available IP addresses and tracking down nodes on the network. The output can be exported to an Excel document which also makes it useful for network audits.
Adam Jones - Systems Engineer
Automation is on the mind of every IT admin. It makes our jobs easier and our end users happy. One extremely useful form of automation on a network is the ability to deploy software packages using Group Policy.
Recently a customer came to us with a request to push Adobe Flash Player to all of their end user's workstations. This particular software package is perfect for installing through GPO because it is available in a Windows Installer format (which is required for publishing in a GPO) and it is a quick installation process.
The first step is to create a share on your server that contains the MSI package required for installation. Since the GPO can be linked to OUs that contain computer objects OR user objects you will need to determine the object type to receive the policy. This is important because if you decide to link this policy to a computer container, you must ensure that you configure the security tab of your shared folder to include the security group that contains the COMPUTER accounts slated for the installation. For instance, give the "Domain Computers" group Read and Execute permissions on the folder. Now that your share is properly configured you can build your GPO.
From the Group Policy Editor, navigate to the container that holds your computer objects OU and create and link a new policy. Be sure to give this policy a meaningful name such as "Sales App Deployment" or something similarly clever. Now open your policy by choosing "Edit" and navigate to Computer Configuration > Software Settings > Software Installation. Right click in the blank space and choose New > Package. Browse to the UNC path of the network share that was created above and select your MSI package. Since we are deploying this application to computer objects you will only be given the option to "assign" the package. This means that once the policy has been updated on the target computers, the software package will be assigned (installed) on the next reboot.
If you happen to choose a user group for your deployment and you have configured the policy in the "User Configuration" section you will be presented with options to assign or publish. If you select the "publish" option, the application will be available for the users to install by going to Control Panel > Add Remove Programs in XP or Programs and Features in Windows Vista and Windows 7. Additionally, they will be given the option to install the application when opening an associated file type. If you select the "assign" option this means that the application will be installed during the next user logon process.
I hope you will consider using Group Policy the next time you need to deploy an application across your network. It can be a real time saver!
Restricted Group GPOs give network administrators the power to centrally control and enforce local group membership on computers in your domain environment. Let's say you need to assign a specific group of technical staff the ability to administer computers in a particular department. Creating a Restricted Group GPO will allow you to add this group of staff members to the Local Administrators group on all computer objects that reside in this department's organizational unit. Because the accounts defined in your policy will override any previous settings on the computer this is also a useful way to ensure that the members of these groups are not modified by the local user. Since this policy replaces the default members, be sure to add the domain admins group and any other administrative accounts that your network requires on client computers.
To access the Restricted Groups node, navigate to the following path in any GPO:
Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Restricted Groups
Note that when creating the group, you need to use the exact wording of the local group that you wish to modify. For example, when adding users to the local administrators group, create a restricted group titled exactly as Administrators in the right pane of the GPO window.

Thomas's two lives, mystery author and filmmaker, often overlap. For years he's directed and shot cop shows for TV, and he's heard great stories from the police he's filmed. He's ridden on patrols, been to crime scenes, as well as crime labs. All of these experiences inform his writing of private eye stories. This page has images from his life as a mystery writer and filmmaker.
My first shoot
As a sophomore at University of Southern California, this was my first time behind a 16mm film camera. Up to then, I had shot only Super-8. Looking through the viewfinder, I quickly realized I loved watching life unfold through a flickering shutter. My friend, writer/director Willard Carroll, sent me this shot just a few weeks ago -- I hadn't known it existed before then.

By Angela Shupe on November 21, 2011 in MLM Site
Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff walked onto the stage at the 2004 annual Usana Health Sciences convention in Salt Lake City.
"Good morning, Usana," he shouted. "And I have some news for you. Last night I talked to Governor Huntsman, and he agreed with me that it is now time to change the name of our state.
"From now on we will be known as Utana."
Shurtleff's jest was met with enthusiastic applause. His long-ago joke, though, still illustrates a basic truth about the state. Because it is home to dozens of companies that sell billions of dollars worth of skin lotions, herbs, vitamin pills and exotic fruit potions to hundreds of thousands of distributors, the companies have scores of supporters, from lawmakers to those who promote economic development in Utah.
And even critics, who say the distribution networks are nothing more than product-based pyramid schemes and that the supplements industry buys "regulatory insurance" by giving lots of money to worthy causes, see their influence at work.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre: what it has and what it needs
Here is my Alvin Ailey roundup of the season--after watching the three premieres and the 13 "best-of" tidbits and evening in honor of soon-to-retire Ailey artistic-director queen Judith Jamison.
I have the usual praise (for the dancers) and complaints (about the repertory) and then a plea all my own, which you will have to click for the whole article to glean. (Please click! I think my plan for the company is a good one!)
Here's the first part of the piece, published in the Financial Times this Saturday:
Judith Jamison's 20th anniversary as artistic director of Alvin Ailey is upon us, and no one will let us forget it. The company has reprised several of her works, offered a compilation of "best of" tidbits from pieces she has commissioned or revived during her tenure, and is visiting one city for every year of her reign on its upcoming US tour.
There's good reason now to pause exuberantly over Jamison's transformation of the troupe from popular yet shaky to world-renowned and rock-solid, with its budget quadrupled, its new Manhattan home eight storeys high and made of glass, stints before a television audience of millions, and sufficient funding for the national and worldwide tours that spread the Alvin gospel: Jamison is stepping down next year.
But at a point when "the name Alvin Ailey might as well be Coca-Cola", as the choreographer's schoolmate Carmen de Lavallade has ruefully put it, it's also worth asking what exactly this gospel consists of.
No one said at the subdued celebration for Jamison last Sunday night, which included short laudatory speeches and a slideshow in which she said "cheese" with President Obama, then Oprah Winfrey (the TV host got the louder applause). So I'll say it: the dancers. They embody - even improve upon - whatever they are handed. They combine astounding musical and muscular precision with a liquid softness down their spines and into their hips that keeps their virtuosity from becoming a shield to fend us off (though their mouths could use some relaxing). This season, the men - so elegantly long-limbed and sensually loose-hipped - have especially impressed. In fact, the company could end up like American Ballet Theatre if it's not careful, with choreographers rushing past the women to make ever more elaborate steps for the men.
A tilting diagonal of dancers, bedecked in costumiere Omotayo Wunmi Olaiya's variations on blue and white, in Ronald K. Brown's stupendous Dancing Spirit, by far the best of the Ailey premieres this year. (For those of you not in New York, I think it will be part of the upcoming U.S. tour.) Photo by Andrea Mohin via the New York Times.
Revelations is the other perennial good, though I wonder whether it has become like the Grand Canyon - such a national treasure that viewers see right past its craggy form. Ailey has heard in the spirituals that make up the score not only the joy of salvation but also the terror of sin. The speed with which the Sinner Men articulate their huge staccato steps and the statuesque solidity of the "Fix Me, Jesus" supplicant's final dovelike pose, for example, embody a welter of conflicting feelings: fear, aspiration, resolve. But audiences seem to read the dance's daylight conclusion in the bright Sunday sun after church into its midnight beginning. They make the dance easier to take.
The company needs to cultivate other great dances if only so Revelations, which has closed almost every show since its 1960 premiere, can be fully absorbed. Repertory is where the company's good news, and Jamison's miracle, ends. Ailey wanted dance to be "a popular form, wrenched from the hands of the elite", he explained in his autobiography, but by "popular" he meant Ellington, Mingus, Masekela, the blues and traditional gospel - not tiresome stereotypes, clichéd sentiments, threadbare steps and weak form. Even if he sometimes produced it himself, the man didn't want dreck.
This season's three premieres are typically uneven....
And for the whole thing, click here.
The company has a formula that works: great dancers, predictably "uplifting" dances, and then Revelations to keep its artistic cred intact. But why settle for being merely popular and sporadically great when you've got the goodwill of the world and could stand to stretch your audience--and be great through and through? I'm sure Mr. Ailey would have wanted that. Any self-respecting artist would.
Also, I don't mention Rennie Harris in the piece, but he's another choreographer, along with the mystery choreographer you will have to read the rest of the article to get the name of, whom Jamison hasn't done enough with. If you saw the ballet Harris made for Philadanco, Philadelphia Experiment, at the Joyce this spring you know what I mean. I'm salivating at the prospect of him doing something similar for Ailey.
Also, while I'm at it, I know the company has "American" in its name, but if they can do a European choreographer such as Bejart--the company performed his Firebird a couple of years ago--why not African choreographers? About six years ago, an outpouring of contemporary dance from southern and western Africa reached us, and I'm sure the artists are still working even if we're not getting to see them anymore. Maybe Ailey could commission a work from the Burkina Faso team of Salia and Seydou, if the choreographers are interested.

After seeing the company in the Golden Section from Tharp's "Catherine Wheel" a couple years ago, I wish they could act as an unofficial repository for her choreography -- they get the combination of strength and fleetness in her style much better than most of the ballet companies currently doing the work.
Hi, Sandi,
Yes, and from what I read it was a gratifying experience for the dancers, too. Do you have specific works in mind you'd want to see on them? I'd vote for "The Fugue," to start.
Thanks so much for writing,

London 2012 Olympic Games: Opening ceremony live blog
By Andrew Hawkins, 28 Jul 2012 Andrew Hawkins is a Roar Expert

- 2012 London Olympics, live blog
This morning's London 2012 Olympic Games opening ceremony in London marks the official beginning of the Games of the 30th Olympiad. Join us as we bring you all the highlights with our live blog.
Oscar-winning film director Danny Boyle, renowned for such films as Slumdog Millionaire and Trainspotting, is the producer of the ceremony, which begins at 6am AEST.
Much of the ceremony has been kept under wraps, but it is known to be a celebration of Britain's past, present and future. It has the title Isles of Wonder, after Shakespeare's The Tempest.
For sporting fans, however, the real excitement comes at the end of the ceremony with the lighting of the cauldron which will burn for the next 16 days.
Organisers have steadily thrown out hints over the last few days. It will only be one person who lights the cauldron, unlike in Vancouver, and the cauldron will only be seen from inside the stadium – a first for the Summer Olympics.
However, it is still unknown who will light the cauldron or how it will be lit. Bookmakers have Britain's most prolific Olympian, rower Steve Redgrave, as favourite ahead of decathlete Daley Thompson, the first four minute miler Roger Bannister and young diver Tom Daley.
The lighting of the cauldron is expected around 9:45am AEST, but could be later depending on the timing of prior segments.
Interest also lies in the parade of nations, with the Australian flag bearer announced as champion basketballer Lauren Jackson as of Friday morning.
Flag bearers of note include tennis players Maria Sharapova (Russia), Novak Djokovic (Serbia) and Marcos Baghdatis (Cyprus), controversial athlete Caster Semenya (South Africa) and cyclist Chris Hoy (Great Britain).
There will be other tributes to sporting legends past and present (with Muhammad Ali and David Beckham among those expected to feature) and to Britain's sporting heritage throughout the ceremony.

underwhelmed said | 7:36am | Report commentonlyonce•5 minutes ago−
I did watch most of it and I have to say that I am amazed with all that PRAISE-PRAISE-Praise! Not even one word of objective criticism is out… why? why is it SO ABOVE any critique?? because we got "politically correct" to the point that we are so scared of upsetting the hosts?? I won't elaborate on my opinion, I will only state that IT WAS NOT FUN for me to watch. I was totally UNDERwhelmed, I was not smiling while I was wataching it hoping to see something that will MAKE IT a fun and ATTRACTIVE spectacle. Instead, it was very bleak and yes, Dickensonean. SHould it only be about the UK chracter and history? (Which I think can offer something more pelasant to the eye than hard-working industialization-era proletariat or nursing jumping on and around hospital beds.) I was not smiling and I won't aplogize for it. I would comare it with not a very succesful party – a hostess invites a lot guests and entertains them by talking only about bleak parts of her family history. No, I did not like it. Anybody wanna join me in this??
Mary said | 10:40pm | Report commentI totally agree with you Sonia. Thank you for bringing this up. I waited by the tv for the Maltese team to be paraded like all the other nations and was rather disappointed to not even see the team. I know they only have a few athletes participating however it is always lovely to see the team of Malta.
I have even tried searching the Internet for some information and pictures of the Maltese team to no avail. Was it channel 9 or the whole of the Olympic broadcast team that didn't film the team walking into the stadium.
jumpers said | 10:20pm | Report commentOlympics is just a BIG BORE!! BORING! BORING! BORING! wat a waste of money when it could be saving lives, giving the poor decent lives, etc. Nothing more than big business at work!!!!
Sonia said | 8:39pm | Report commentComplaint regarding Channel Nine Not showing all the countries entering in the Olympic Stadium in favour of showing Aussie Athletes sitting around doing nothing
As Channel 9 have an absolutely antiquated method of receiving complaints I am in search of other avenues. Thank you for this opportunity. This may seem a little trivial to most, however for the hundred thousand Australians of Maltese decent this is a real insult. Whilst televising the Athletes of all countries entering the Olympic Stadium, Channel Nine felt it was more interesting to pan their cameras across to 4 Aussie Basketball players sitting down cooling their heels really interesting stuff, in the meantime Malta had entered and all of Australia missed them. My parents assumed Malta was not entered in the Olympics, how sad for that small team who would have a greater following than they could ever imagine. Shame on Channel 9. They clearly do not care about audience feedback, there isn't even an email address, in this day and age how antiquated. Instead rude receptionists who hang up on you after you have been waiting on hold for 20 minutes. Imagine how the rest of the Olympics will be broadcast by such Culturally Challenged people. What a disgrace. Any way you can help get this message out will be a win for the general public, how dare Channel 9 think they are above receiving genuine heart felt complaints. Power to those choosing to use internet TV over cheap and nasty commercial television.
Fiona Lochtenberg said | 12:09am | Report commentHey Sonia, you are not alone….I share those sentiments. My sister and I woke up early to watch the ceremony and waited with great anticipation to see the Maltese athletes in the parade. What a shame!!! There are so many Maltese Nationals in this country who would all have been eagerly waiting for that great moment. We are a patriotic bunch but then who wouldn't be?
HardcorePrawn said | 3:11am | Report commentI have to agree, it was massively disrespectful to every country that got ignored just so that Nine could show the Australian team larking about. It's especially poor when you consider the huge number of migrants that live in Australia. Unfortunately this is indicative of Nine's treatment of sport, as any Rugby fan who has hoping to see last year's World Cup could tell you!
NF said | 3:22am | Report comment9 & sport is like oil & water is doesn't mix well it's treatment of sport overall is pathetic it be nice if they lost there right to host any sport at all due to there constant mistreatment of it no matter the code.
Sam said | 3:50pm | Report commentHi Sonia, Thank you for posting the complaint. I agree with what happened, and we also wondered too, who we could complain to. We had watched all the other countries coming out, and waited til we started the 'M' countries as my son put it, and then the camera goes to a bunch of guys just sitting on the ground, doing nothing, whilst the voice over introduces Malta. Are u serious!!! the camera goes back to the next country. My husband is Maltese, and was so looking fwd to showing our kids Malta coming out, and that is pretty much the country they dont show. As was prev mentioned we have thousands of Maltese over Australia, that would have been waiting to see them, they could have moved the camera after they were introduced, but given they are a small competing country with a strong community in Aust, its so bad that Channel 9 , cant broadcast properly. We too tried looking on the net for video footage of them coming out, and couldnt find anything. If any one does find something on the team coming out, please post the link for us to view. Thanks, Sam.
Sharon said | 3:57pm | Report commentAbsolutely agree 100% I was furious about them going back and forth to the Australian team. The Athletes parade is one of my favourite parts after the opening ceremony itself…I love sitting with my daughter and looking at the costumes and flags. I felt so sorry for anyone that lives here from any of the countries that were missed out. I would be devastated if it had been my country that was missed ( luckily for me I am British so I did see mine ) but that's not to say I didn't want to see each and every country march proudly in to the stadium.
Keep hounding channel nine. It is going to be a theme running right through with their coverage…they don't seem to realise we live in a multicultural society and that most people would like to have a varied and fair coverage of the games.
The other thing that is annoying is the hype about Gold Medals….they hype and hype the athletes for Gold and then become very negative in their descriptions of anything but, using words like disappointing. These athletes are good enough to go represent their country at the Olympics for Goodness sake!!!!!! We try to teach our children that it's not about winning or losing but how you play the game and then we wipe that out as soon as the Olympics comes around. Very sad.

WSJ's Shira Ovide has details of Facebook's expected IPO, which could have a $100 billion valuation. Photo: REUTERS/Robert Galbraith
Facebook Inc. is inching closer to an initial public offering that it hopes will value the company at more than $100 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.
The social networking firm is now targeting a time frame of April to June 2012 for an initial public offering, said people familiar with the matter. The company is exploring raising $10 billion in its IPO—what would be one of the largest offerings ever—in a deal that might assign Facebook a $100 billion valuation, a number greater than twice that of such stalwarts as Hewlett-Packard Co.

A Facebook IPO has been hotly anticipated for several years, and viewed as a defining moment for the latest Web investing boom. The company has been vague about whether it would even make such an offering and silent on timing of an IPO. "We're not going to participate in speculation about an IPO," said Facebook spokesman Larry Yu.
The company now appears poised to go ahead with a deal. But it will likely come to market at a time when investors are beginning to question the value of some newer Internet businesses.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg is said to be warming to the idea of an IPO. Reuters
IPO: Go, No-Go?
Initial public offerings aren't always good investments. Here's a look at some of the high-fliers and flame-outs of the Internet era
Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg has in the past publicly expressed reluctance to do an IPO. And he has opted to keep Facebook private longer than many suspected he would.
But he is warming to the idea. Facebook is now in internal discussions over the timing of its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is considering filing dates as early as this year, said these people. Mr. Zuckerberg hasn't made any final decisions, these people cautioned.
Facebook remains aloof from Wall Street and shows signs of wanting to play by its own rules.
Companies often explore an IPO once they have $100 million in revenue. Facebook is expected to debut with more than $4 billion in revenue, making it bigger than Web veteran Yahoo Inc.

Facebook has gone so far as to craft its own prospectus, said the people familiar with the matter. A prospectus document—which is filed with the SEC outlining the company's business—is typically prepared by bankers and lawyers hired by a company.
Facebook Chief Financial Officer David Ebersman has been leading the company's talks with Silicon Valley bankers about an IPO, said people familiar with the matter.
Bankers are aggressively pursuing the company, but Facebook remains elusive about a commitment to specific banks, even though an IPO looms. Mr. Ebersman told some bankers that he is skeptical over what contribution investment banks could make to a Facebook IPO, since the company is so highly sought after by major investors, said people familiar with the matter.
The social network, which was started by Mr. Zuckerberg in 2004 out of his Harvard University dorm room, has led the way in reshaping how people share information and interact with others on the Web. It now counts 800 million users, with 500 million users logging into the site daily.
Facebook will be required to make its financial information public by April, because the company will cross the 500-shareholder limit by the end of this year. The SEC requires companies with more than 500 shareholders to publicly disclose its financial information.
Facebook could publish its financial information come April without an IPO, but board members and top executives have privately acknowledged that it would leave the company at a severe disadvantage, since they would have most of the liability that comes with being a public company, but lose out on the fundraising benefits of a public offering, said these people.
Only 13 IPOs have ever been completed with a value greater than $10 billion, and just three of those have been for U.S. companies, according to Dealogic, which tracks new securities issues.
