Did you know that Thomas Jeffersons knowledge of wine was so extensive, he served as the White House wine advisor under a few presidents? That is just one nugget of trivia surrounding the wonderful world of wine. The Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition celebrates not only the globes finest vintages, but honors the fascinating history behind this ebullient beverage. Here are some more engaging tidbits:- In the Middle Ages, wine was used as currency.- The first commercial U.S. winery, established in 1823, was located in Missouri.- The Armenians claim Noah planted the first vineyards on earth in their country.- When Leif Ericsson landed in North America in 1001 A.D., he was so impressed by the proliferation of grapevines that he named it Vinland.- When Mt. Vesuvius buried Pompeii in volcanic lava in 79 A.D., it also buried more than 200 wine bars.- Wine has so many organic chemical compounds, it is considered more complex than blood serum.- Grapes were first planted in California at Mission San Diego in 1769.- Louis Pasteur first determined the true nature of fermentation.- The descending tears of wine seen on the inside of a glass after it has been swirled are called legs.- The 17th century Benedictine monk, Dom Pérignon, is credited with discovering the cork as a means to seal wine and champagne bottles. He is also credited with discovering the process of making champagne. It is said upon his first taste of champagne he cried, Come quickly, I am tasting stars - One glass of wine contains 9.7 ounces of grapes and 6.4 ounces of wine.- One bottle of wine contains 2.4 pounds of grapes, 25.6 ounces of wine and four glasses of wine.- Robert Mondavi built Napa Valleys first new winery after the repeal of prohibition.- Prior to the Civil War, Ohio was considered Americas most important wine producing state.- Robert Louis Stevenson referred to wine as bottled poetry.- According to scientist Bill Lembeck, there are approximately 49 million bubbles in a bottle of champagne.- A morbid, irrational fear of or aversion to wine is oenophobia.- The largest cork tree in the world is known as The Whistler Tree. Located in the Alentejo region of Portugal, it averages more than one ton of raw cork per harvest enough to cork 100,000 bottles of wine.- Napa Valley recently surpassed Disneyland as Californias No. 1 tourist destination with 5.5 million visitors a year. - The U.S. is the fourth largest wine-producing nation coming in behind Italy, France and Spain.- The U.S. ranks 33rd in per capita wine consumption with 2.08 gallons a year.Trivia from the Web sites laboheme.com, damngoodwine.com, travelenvoy.com, bellaoneline.com and smalloak.com.

One of the first direct replacement, High Brightness (HB) bulbs that use less than 8 watts, the GeoBulb II is the same size as a conventional incandescent bulb suitable for direct replacement in any indoor open fixture. The majority of this light is off the top half of the bulb. The light off the top half of the bulb exceeds that of some 60-watt incandescent bulbs. The GeoBulb II's rated life is 30,000 hours of continous use. Every part of the GeoBulb is built for long lasting durability. Three-year limited warranty
Note: The GeoBulb II is non-dimmable. Using this light bulb with a dimmer switch may damage the bulb. It must be used in a room temperature of less than 95°F and in an open ventilated fixture or it will void the warranty.
* Lumen tests were performed by Luminaire Test Laboratory (LTL), one of the best testing labs in the United States. While LTL found the total lumens for a standard incandescent bulb to be higher, the Cool White GeoBulb® is about 15% brighter in the 0-90 degree quadrant which is one of the most important areas of usable light. The light output of the GeoBulb® was designed to point in primarily one direction based on our research of actual use.
We currently have two different ways that you can review a product that you purchased from us.
We do look at all reviews/testimonials for content and only refuse those with profanity or inappropriate content. All others usually get approval for posting (good and bad) within 48 hours. If you have a problem with any of our products please contact us as we are able to resolve most issues.
The new, energy-efficient GeoBulb® uses next-generation LED lighting technology that can help reduce worldwide energy consumption by 10%. Our goal is to make the GeoBulb® the first choice in energy-efficient light bulbs.
As with any new technological advancements, there will likely be many new LED light bulb companies rushing to get an array of new products to market. Many performance claims will be made and many may not be true. Most of them will not be here in 10 years. Here are some points to check out with any manufacturer.
Before you purchase an LED light bulb it might be best to ask these questions:
Samples of GeoBulb® have been turned on and off 1 million times. This test was an excellent way to verify the durability of any circuit design. There were no GeoBulb® failures of any kind during testing and we have not had any GeoBulb® failures among the several thousand bulbs that are currently in use. The original GeoBulb® prototype is over two years old and is still working. Since high quality LEDs last 30,000 hours or more, the other components in the circuit have to be able to last as long as the LEDs. All components used in the GeoBulb® are rated to last longer than the 30,000 hours expected from the LEDs themselves. This manufacturing method not only gives C. Crane full confidence in the GeoBulb® during its warranty period but also means that you can expect excellent performance well past the warranty date.
We have noticed that other manufacturers use parts that can change values after about 2,000 hours of run time. Energy performance starts dropping considerably after that time. Light output can drop also. All components in a GeoBulb® are run at a temperature well below their maximum designed operational temperature.
C. Crane uses the highest quality LED bulbs available and they are the most expensive part of the bulb. They are rated to produce the highest light output combined with lowest energy usage and the longest life expectancy. The color rendition of our LED bulbs is also stable over time. In contrast, the color of compact fluorescent bulbs changes significantly early in their lifetime and also light output degrades noticeably over its expected lifetime.
The GeoBulb® has a three year warranty that covers the bulb even if it is used 24 hours a day for three years straight.
C. Crane has a full-time quality control specialist inspect each production run in Asia. We also perform Quality Assurance tests when we receive the bulbs in Fortuna, California.
Please remember that specifications will be changing every year or so. If you would like to be notified when we have breaking news please sign up here.
In 2007 almost half of the electricity generation in the United States came from Coal *. A common, everyday 60 Watt light bulb burns well over 2,000 pounds or one ton of coal in five years. It gets harder every day to bring the miles of trains filled with coal to power plants. Most people alive today will see the "easy-to-get" coal depleted and costs will rise. A solar or wind generation system for your house is very expensive and takes planning and maintenance. Right now you can start reducing your electric bill one small step at a time by purchasing a high quality GeoBulb® in place of your most used light bulb.
As of the writing of this article the GeoBulb® is $99.95 retail. When you compare the GeoBulb® to a regular incandescent bulb then there is no question the GeoBulb® saves money even at a cost of $100.00. Comparing the GeoBulb® to a compact fluorescent is more difficult. Most of this price is returned to you in energy savings. If the price of electricity goes up by 20% over the next few years then the GeoBulb® will become more financially viable. The long life of the GeoBulb® can also mean savings in terms of maintenance cost, particularly if someone has to be paid to change burned out bulbs such as in commercial applications. Light bulbs mounted in unsafe, high places or difficult to reach bulbs are also perfect situations for the use of GeoBulb®s.
* Energy Information Administration
The GeoBulb® is most efficient when used in a ceiling or track lighting fixture. This is because most of the light is evenly distributed off the top half of the bulb. The GeoBulb® is designed to minimize the light output toward the screw-in base of the bulb since this light is wasted for most uses. The GeoBulb® is unique among LED bulbs since much of the light is distributed toward the sides too. Most other LED bulbs point all of their light towards the top of the bulb which is less expensive to manufacture.
The GeoBulb is much easier and less expensive to install than a solar or wind generating system. The payback period should also be signifcantly lower since most solar systems have a payback period of 30 years.
Depending on which of the three colors you select, the GeoBulb® has a slightly different color than other light bulbs you may have seen before. Everyone is very sensitive to any color change in their lighting. I must say that getting used to a GeoBulb® is easier than getting accustomed to a compact fluorescent light. A GeoBulb® turns on without a delay and does not have a warm-up period. Here is a brief description of each color:
Cool White puts out the most light and is a good choice for work areas. Soft White has a pleasant color for general work or most home lighting. Warm White is for ambiance such as restaurant or home lighting.
The GeoBulb® is designed to be used indoors at an ambient temperature that does not exceed 95 degrees Fahrenheit. A ceiling downlilght fixture is an excellent application for the GeoBulb®. It also works well for desk lamps or floor lamps or any other open-type fixture.
The GeoBulb®-II is designed to last up to 30,000 hours. This is approximately three years at 24/7 or 20 years at an average use of 4 hours per day.
No, it is not recommended. Using the GeoBulb® with a dimmer may damage the bulb and voids the warranty.
The GeoBulb® will operate safely in a 3-way lamp controlled by a manual switch. You will not notice any difference in light output. It will be like operating a standard bulb (not a 3 way bulb). Touch sensor 3-way lamps are NOT SAFE to use the GeoBulb® in. The electronics in these lamps may damage the bulb beyond repair and will void the warranty.
The Power Factor expresses the efficiency of the circuit. The GeoBulb® runs with a power factor of about .80, a CFL runs at about .50 and an incandescent runs at 1. To put it another way, you need a 60 watt generator for a 60 watt incandescent bulb, you need a 25 watt generator to run a 13 watt CFL and a 9.5 watt generator for the GeoBulb® To run a GeoBulb® the power company has to generate less than half the power required for a comparable CFL. It means the power company could reduce their generating capacity if we all switch to GeoBulbs® or any other energy efficient appliances.
There is another very technical reason the GeoBulb® is good for a power company. The circuit is a "leading" type which helps offset the type of power an electric motor requires - which is "trailing". The GeoBulb® helps balance the load delivered by a power company and can reduce the net power generated.

Orbiting robot gas station gets closer to reality
It's a bummer running out of gas, especially when the nearest station is 22,000 miles away.
But a project to set up a gas station on the International Space Station made a big leap forward this week with the successful refueling of a mock satellite by a robot.
Dextre, a twin-armed robot from Canada, topped off the fuel tank in the mockup, showing how satellites' life can be extended, according to the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).
Operating on the Robotic Refueling Mission (RRM) module, Dextre removed safety caps and cut through retaining wires before transferring liquid ethanol to the mockup, which is about the size of a washing machine.
The CSA-NASA achievement is the first of its kind, and may help reduce the growing pile of dead satellites and space junk orbiting overhead. … Read more

The Inspiration: Pumpkin Apple Home Fragrance
The Apple: Golden Delicious is an all-purpose apple. Although it may share part of its name with Red Delicious, the two are not related. Golden Delicious apples are bright yellow with a soft texture. Thin-skinned, Golden Delicious tends to bruise easily and rot quickly, so try to use them just after picking! This apple is ideal for pies, salads, sauces and freezing.
1 ½ cup of chopped, peeled Golden Delicious apples
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup butter
1 cup canned pumpkin (or 2 cups of fresh pureed pumpkin)
¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or 1 full teaspoon if substituting fresh pumpkin)
1 egg
Directions: Heat oven to 350° F. Spread apples over bottom of 9" glass pie plate. Microwave uncovered on High for 4-6 minutes or until apples are tender. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, butter and pumpkin spice until crumbly. In a medium bowl, beat remaining ingredients with a wire whisk until smooth. Pour over apples. Sprinkle on the flour mixture. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Set and cool for no less than 20 minutes before cutting into wedges. Serve warm with whipped cream.
The Inspiration: Spiced Cider Home Fragrance
The Apple: The Gala apples' shape is similar to that of the Golden and Red Delicious apples. It has a mild, sweet taste, crisp texture, and a beautiful red sheen with yellow undertones. Galas are easy to eat uncooked thanks to their thin skin and overall sweetness, making them the perfect kid-approved snack! They're also good for cooking.
The Ingredients:
8-10 Gala apples
½-1 cup of sugar
4 tablespoons of cinnamon
4 tablespoons of allspice
Directions: Quarter the apples (no need to remove peel or seeds). In a large stock pot add your apples and fill with just enough water to cover the apples. Add sugar. Add cinnamon and allspice in a doubled up cheese cloth, tie and add to pot. Boil on high for 1 hour (uncovered checking it frequently). Then, turn down heat and let simmer for 2 hours (covered). Take off the heat after the 2 hours and let cool. Remove spices and mash apples with a potato masher. Once cool and evenly mashed, pour into a strainer over a large bowl, press cider through. Place excess mashed apple into cheese cloth and squeeze out as mush cider as possible!
Reheat in microwave or stove and serve! Garnish with cinnamon sticks, whipped topping or caramel.
The Inspiration: Fresh Picked Farmstand Apple Fragrance
The Apple: Granny Smiths are originally from Australia but their iconic bright-green skin, hard feel, crisp bite, and tart taste are loved by Americans! While some savor the tartness, others prefer to cook it, which sweetens it up. It is an ideal complement to savory foods like onions and salty foods like cheese.
The Ingredients:
2 Granny Smith apples
2 acorn squash, peeled, seeded and cut into ½" cubes
4 cups of vegetable stock
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
Salt and Black Pepper (season to taste)
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 cup canola oil
1 cup of thinly sliced shitake mushrooms
6 tablespoons of unsalted butter
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon of ground cumin
Directions: Heat olive oil in a 6-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat, add onion, cook and stir until lightly browned (about 15 min). Add ginger, garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add turmeric, five-spice powder, squash, apples and salt and pepper stirring until fragrant, cooking for 2 minutes. Add stock and bring to a boil; cook covered and stirring until squash and apple are tender (about 15 min). Using an immersion blender or food processor, puree the soup, then return to saucepan. Stir in the lime juice and keep warm.
For Topping: Meanwhile, heat canola oil in a 2-qt saucepan over medium-high heat until a deep fry thermometer reads 350°; add mushrooms, and fry until browned and crisp. Scoop up mushrooms and place on paper towels to drain. Set aside. Wipe a saucepan and add butter, mint, cumin paprika and salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat stirring for 5 minutes.
Pour soup into bowls, top with a drizzle of the spiced butter and add fried mushroom.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Crude Realities (Final)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "Things are better this time around," Jim Cramer told his "Mad Money" TV show viewers on Wednesday, as he attempted to explain why $4 a gallon gasoline hasn't begun crippling the stock market.
Cramer said he could take the easy way out and just say that high gas prices haven't hit the economy yet, but that would put him in the same camp as the perma-bears who have been predicting the market's demise ever since the lows of 2008.
In reality, Cramer said that if high gas really was hurting the economy, then discretionary stocks like Nike (NKE) , Lululemon Athletica (LULU) and Harley Davidson (HOG) wouldn't keep heading higher. "Do we really need $150 sneakers?" he asked.
Cramer listed five reasons why the markets aren't being affected by the pain at the pump. First, the economy is growing. Cramer said that hiring can conquer all, even expensive gas. Second, he said unlike 2008, interest rates are low, allowing business and consumers to refinance their mortgages and debts to offset higher gas.
Third, Cramer noted that gas isn't our only energy bill, and thanks to a warm winter and falling natural gas prices, the pain at the pump isn't as bad this time around.
Fourth, Cramer said that companies are ready this time around and some, like Honeywell (HON) , Eaton (ETN) and Boeing (BA) all benefit from helping companies save on energy and fuel costs, which is why he owns the latter two for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS.
Finally, Cramer said that consumers are not as shocked with $4 gas as they were in 2008. Put all of these factors together and Cramer said that things are simply better now than they were in 2008, which is why stocks, even discretionary ones, can still surge higher even as gas prices continue to creep towards and past $4 a gallon.
Electronic Healthcare Trend
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer spoke with Glen Tullman, CEO of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions (MDRX) , a stock that's up 135% since Cramer first got behind the company in January 2009, but also one that fell short on its most recent earnings release.
Tullman clarified that Allscripts did update its guidance throughout the year and did deliver on its updated projections. He said that bookings were up 26% and the company delivered strong financial results and steady, consistent growth. Tullman also noted that while the adoption of electronic healthcare records doubled last year, there are still more than half of all smaller practices that have yet to upgrade.

This topic provides information about type 1 diabetes for adults and for parents of children who have been diagnosed with the disease in the past 6 weeks. If this topic doesn't answer your questions, one of the following topics may meet your needs.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a lifelong disease that develops when the pancreas can no longer produce insulin. Insulin lets sugar (glucose) enter your body's cells, where it is used for energy. Without insulin, sugar builds up in your blood. The level rises above what is safe for your body. Over time, high blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels and nerves throughout your body and increase your risk of eye, heart, blood vessel, nerve, and kidney disease.
Type 1 diabetes can develop at any age. But it usually develops in children and young adults. In the past, type 1 diabetes was called juvenile diabetes and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
Insulin is made by certain cells (beta cells) in the pancreas. Type 1 diabetes develops because the body's immune system destroys the beta cells and therefore the pancreas's ability to produce insulin.
Some people inherit the risk for type 1 diabetes. But even these people may not develop type 1 diabetes unless something else triggers it, such as being exposed to certain viral infections.
The main symptoms of high blood sugar from diabetes are:
These symptoms usually develop over a few days to weeks. Some people have these symptoms before they are diagnosed, but they do not realize the symptoms are caused by diabetes. They may believe the symptoms are caused by the flu or some other illness.
When insulin levels drop very low, blood sugar can rise very high and a life-threatening situation called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can develop. DKA is an emergency. Symptoms include:
Severe diabetic ketoacidosis can cause difficulty breathing, brain swelling (cerebral edema), coma, or death. But by taking your insulin regularly and keeping your blood sugar levels in your target range, you can avoid DKA.
The main symptoms of low blood sugar from diabetes are:
Low blood sugar occurs when the sugar (glucose) level in your blood drops below what your body needs to function normally. Not eating enough food or skipping meals, taking too much medicine (insulin), exercising more than usual, or taking certain medicines that lower blood sugar can cause your blood sugar to drop rapidly.
If your blood sugar level drops very low (usually below 20 mg/dL), you may lose consciousness or have a seizure. Eating or drinking something that contains sugar usually can bring your blood sugar back up to a safe level. But if you have symptoms of severe low blood sugar, you need medical care immediately.
You need to test your blood sugar 3 or more times a day to make sure it falls within the target range you and your doctor set. You use a home glucose monitor to do these tests.
At first, you will keep in close touch with your doctor while finding the right dose of insulin that best keeps your blood sugar levels within your target range. When your blood sugar levels are staying within this range, you will see your doctor about every 3 to 6 months. During these checkups, your doctor will look at your treatment to see how well it is controlling your diabetes. If your treatment isn't working very well, your doctor may have you try different things. You will also start having a A1c test to find out what your average blood sugar level was during the 2 to 3 months before your visit. This test checks your long-term blood sugar control.
You also need to have regular tests to check your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, because high levels increase your risk of diabetes complications.
You will take insulin injections daily or use an insulin pump. Treatment for type 1 diabetes focuses on keeping your blood sugar levels within your target range. This is called tight control. It is the best way to reduce your risk of diabetes complications. But some people—such as those whose blood sugar drops too low with tight control—may need to set a different target range with their doctor.
A target range for blood sugar is 70 mg/dL to 130 mg/dL before eating or less than 180 mg/dL 1 to 2 hours after eating. It also may be measured as an A1c of less than 7%. This is a test of your blood sugar control for the past 2 to 3 months.
You also need to eat a healthful diet that spreads carbohydrate throughout the day, check your blood sugar 3 or more times a day, and get regular exercise. Because you have diabetes, you are at higher-than-average risk of a heart attack and stroke. You may take medicine to keep your blood pressure and cholesterol in the normal ranges. You also may take aspirin to lower your risk for having a heart attack.
Your treatment plan may change based on your blood sugar levels and other test results reviewed in your doctor's office.
If your child has type 1 diabetes, treatment involves the same actions but also allows for normal growth and development.
You may find that soon after you are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, your blood sugar levels return to normal. You are in what is called the "honeymoon period." The remaining insulin-producing cells in your pancreas are working harder to supply enough insulin for your body. You may take little or no insulin. But this does not mean that the disease is gone. After the remaining insulin-producing cells are destroyed, the honeymoon period ends, and you will need to take insulin for the rest of your life.
You can live a long, healthy life if you keep your blood sugar levels within a target range. This requires the right combination of food, physical activity, and insulin every day. If your young child has diabetes, you assume the responsibility for balancing these things. As your child grows, he or she will take over more responsibility for his or her care.
Many people are afraid of giving themselves shots every day. With practice, it will become routine. Figuring out how to mix diet, insulin, and exercise in your daily life takes time. Don't get discouraged. Seek out help from your doctors if some part of diabetes care gives you trouble.
As you adjust to having diabetes, you will learn how to monitor your blood sugar level at home, give yourself insulin injections, recognize high and low blood sugar symptoms, count carbohydrate in your diet, and take precautions when you are sick. Diabetes care will become an important part of your life, but it doesn't have to take over your life.

Living with type 1 diabetes:
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
Type 1 diabetes develops because the body's defense system (immune system) tells the body to destroy the beta cells in the pancreas that make insulin. It's not known what causes this immune response. Some people inherit the risk for type 1 diabetes. But even these people may not develop type 1 diabetes unless other factors, such as exposure to certain viral infections, are present.
Certain genes make a person more susceptible while other genes seem to protect the person from the disease. A complex interaction between a person's genes and some environmental factors, such as having enteroviral infections—especially Coxsackie B infections—may increase the risk of developing the disease, but it does not mean that the person will definitely develop the disease.
In the past, experts thought that vaccines caused diabetes. But studies have found no link between getting a vaccination and getting type 1 diabetes.1
Your (or your child's) symptoms of type 1 diabetes probably developed quickly, over a few days to weeks. These symptoms are caused by blood sugar levels rising above the normal range (hyperglycemia) and include:
All of these symptoms will get better or go away when your blood sugar levels are controlled.
If your blood sugar rose to very high levels at the time you were diagnosed with diabetes, you may have received treatment in a hospital for diabetic ketoacidosis, which is an emergency.
Now that you are taking insulin injections, watch for signs of either high or low blood sugar. High blood sugar (hyperglycemia) usually develops slowly over a few days or weeks. But it can also develop quickly (in just a few hours) if you eat a large meal or miss an insulin dose. On the other hand, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can develop within 10 to 15 minutes. Children, especially very young children, are at greater risk for harm caused by very low blood sugar levels.
Watch for the following symptoms of high or low blood sugar. You (or your child) may not have the same symptoms every time, and you may have symptoms that are not listed.
After you are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, you may find that your blood sugar levels return to normal. You are in what is called the "honeymoon period." The remaining insulin-producing cells in your pancreas are working harder to supply enough insulin for your body. You may take little or no insulin. But this does not mean that the disease is gone. After the remaining insulin-producing cells are destroyed, the honeymoon period ends, and you will need to take insulin for the rest of your life.
Treatment for your diabetes includes following a diet that spreads carbohydrate throughout the day, getting regular physical activity, monitoring your blood sugar levels (using a home blood sugar meter), and taking insulin. By working closely with your doctor and following your prescribed treatment, you will feel better and have more control of your life. If your child has type 1 diabetes, treatment involves the same tasks but allows for normal growth and development.
Before diagnosis, your insulin level may have been low enough to cause severe high blood sugar, with symptoms such as confusion or even coma. This condition is called diabetic ketoacidosis and often requires treatment in a hospital. During your hospital stay, you are given insulin injections and fluids in a vein (intravenous or IV), and your condition is monitored closely. You are still at risk for this emergency in the future if you don't take enough insulin to keep your sugar levels and metabolism normal.
If you have persistent high blood sugar levels over a long period of time, diabetes can damage your:
If you keep your blood sugar level within your target range, you may prevent, or at least delay, these complications. Children seem protected from developing these complications during childhood. But when they become adolescents, their risk begins to increase. Keeping blood sugar levels as close to normal as possible at the beginning of the disease will help prevent these complications.2
Risk factors for developing type 1 diabetes include:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you are:
Call a doctor right away if:
Call a doctor if you:
Health professionals who can treat type 1 diabetes include:
More Information:
To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.
Routine tests for type 1 diabetes include an A1c or similar test (glycosylated hemoglobin or glycohemoglobin) that estimates your average blood sugar level over the previous 2 to 3 months. It helps monitor blood sugar control after treatment has started.
You need to see your doctor about every 3 to 6 months throughout your life for exams and tests to watch your condition and adjust your treatment.
For more information, see the schedule for exams and tests beginning at diagnosis.
After you have had diabetes for 3 to 5 years, you will need annual tests to watch for signs of damage to your eyes (diabetic retinopathy), kidneys (diabetic nephropathy), heart, blood vessels, and nerves (diabetic neuropathy). If your child has diabetes, this testing should begin at puberty.
Other tests
You may need a thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) test when type 1 diabetes is diagnosed and then every 1 to 2 years. This test checks for thyroid problems, which are common among people with diabetes.
You may have found out that you have type 1 diabetes when your insulin levels dropped very low and you were admitted to a hospital for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The following tests were likely used to diagnose and monitor treatment of ketoacidosis. You may have these tests again if you develop DKA in the future.
The focus of your treatment for type 1 diabetes is to keep your blood sugar level within a target range. This is called tight control. It is the best way to reduce your risk of diabetes complications. But some people—such as those whose blood sugar drops too low with tight control—may need to set a different target range with their doctor.
To keep your blood sugar in a target range, your daily treatment includes:
Chronic illnesses such as diabetes take a toll on your energy and emotions. It's normal to feel down sometimes. But if you feel seriously overwhelmed, tearful, and not yourself, you may be suffering from depression. Talk to your doctor if you feel depressed. Medicine, counseling, and other support can help you.
At first, you will keep in close touch with your doctor while you are trying to find the right dose of insulin that best keeps your blood sugar levels within your target range. After your blood sugar levels are staying within this range, you will see your doctor about every 3 to 6 months. During these checkups, your doctor will evaluate and adjust your treatment. You will also start having exams and tests that check your blood sugar control and monitor your condition on a regular basis.
After you have had diabetes for 3 to 5 years, you will start having yearly exams and tests to watch for signs of complications, particularly eye and kidney damage. If your child has diabetes, this testing should begin at puberty.
If your blood sugar level was very high at the time you were diagnosed with diabetes, you may have been treated for diabetic ketoacidosis. This life-threatening condition can happen to you again if you do not take enough insulin, have a severe infection or other illness, or become severely dehydrated. Treatment for diabetic ketoacidosis requires hospitalization and includes:
If your blood sugar levels return to the normal range soon after diagnosis, you are in what is called the "honeymoon period." This is a time when the remaining insulin-producing cells in your pancreas are working harder to supply enough insulin for your body. Treatment during this time may include:
Talk with your child's teachers and the staff at his or her school (or child care center) to develop a plan for diabetes care at school. This plan needs to include clear instructions for dealing with low blood sugar, when to test the child's blood sugar, contents of school meals and snacks, and emergency contact information.
Let your child with diabetes take part in his or her daily care to the extent that is appropriate for your child's age and development. For example, your 4-year-old child cannot be responsible for testing his or her blood sugar but can get out the supplies and perform some of the simpler steps. By the time your child is an adolescent, he or she should be able to take responsibility for his or her diabetes care, with appropriate supervision. For more information, see the topic Type 1 Diabetes: Children Living With the Disease.
You (or your child) have just been diagnosed with a disease that requires daily attention and will last for the rest of your life. It is hard to accept and adjust to all the lifestyle changes that you need to make, such as eating the right amount of carbohydrate at each meal and snack, giving injections every day, and coping with blood sugar variations.
Anger, resentment, or denial are normal feelings in these circumstances and can be expected because you are experiencing the loss of what your life was like before you got type 1 diabetes. Give yourself time to deal with your feelings and grieve your loss. For more information, see the topic Grief and Grieving.
Wear medical identification at all times. If you have an accident or you are taken to a hospital, this identification lets people know that you have diabetes so that they can care for you appropriately. You can buy medical identification in bracelets, necklaces, or other forms of jewelry at your local pharmacy.
Blood sugar usually rises above a target range slowly, but it can lead to a life-threatening emergency unless it is treated promptly. Your blood sugar is likely to rise when you are sick. For more information, see guidelines for when you are sick.
A hyperosmolar state is life-threatening and can occur when your blood sugar level is very high and you get dehydrated. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening blood chemical (electrolyte) imbalance that develops in a person with diabetes when the cells do not get the sugar (glucose) they need for energy.
Low blood sugar or hypoglycemia occurs when the level of sugar (glucose) in your blood has dropped below what your body needs to function normally. When your blood sugar level drops below 70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), you will likely have symptoms of low blood sugar which can develop quickly. Low blood sugar can be especially dangerous if you drive. Do not drive if your blood sugar level is below 70 mg/dL. Take precautions when you are driving, and be prepared to stop and treat low blood sugar.
Having a routine (when you eat, exercise, take your insulin, and check your blood sugar at about the same time every day) can also help prevent high and low blood sugar emergencies. When you have a routine, your blood sugar levels may be more predictable. A routine will also help you to remember to check your blood sugar and give yourself your insulin injections.
You can prevent soreness and infection at your injection sites by:
Your daily routine now includes new tasks and safety measures because you have type 1 diabetes. You can help keep your blood sugar levels within a target range by following a routine. This means testing your blood sugar and eating at regular times. It also means consistently eating about the same amount of food every day. There is a lot to learn about this complex disease, but for now concentrate on these critical steps:
Carbohydrate is the one nutrient in your diet that most affects blood sugar levels. A registered dietitian can help you learn about what foods contain carbohydrate and how to manage it in your diet. If your child has diabetes, talk with the dietitian about how to adjust meals and snacks for your child's varying appetite.
You need to take injections every day because your pancreas no longer produces insulin. Eventually, your child can learn to give an insulin injection. Talk to your doctor and your child to find out when is a good time to start teaching your child to give an insulin injection.
Your doctor will want you to test your blood sugar level several times a day.
Try to do moderate activity at least 2½ hours a week.4 One way to do this is to be active 30 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week. Some tips for exercising safely may help. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after you are active. This is very important when it's hot out and when you do intense exercise. It may also help to keep track of your exercise on an activity log(What is a PDF document?).
Encourage your child to do moderate to vigorous activity at least 1 hour every day. It's okay for them to be active in smaller blocks of time that add up to 1 hour or more each day. Children with type 1 diabetes can participate in sports just like children who do not have diabetes. But children who use insulin are at risk of low blood sugar. Some tips on safe exercising for your child with type 1 diabetes can help prevent low blood sugar.
In addition to exercising, it is a good idea to limit the amount of alcohol you drink. The American Diabetes Association recommends that women with diabetes have no more than one drink a day and men with diabetes have no more than two drinks a day.5 One drink is 12 fl oz (0.4 L) of beer, 5 fl oz (0.2 L) of wine, or 1.5 fl oz (44.4 mL) liquor.
Tobacco has many bad health effects, especially for people with diabetes. Having type 1 diabetes can cause a lot of problems in your body. Smoking can make many of these problems worse, especially heart and blood vessel disease. Smoking raises your cholesterol and makes it harder for your body to heal. No matter how long you've smoked, your health will improve after you quit. For help quitting, see the topic Quitting Smoking.
More Information
Insulin is used to treat type 1 diabetes. There are several different types of insulin, and most people with type 1 diabetes need a combination of long-acting and short-acting insulins.
Never skip a dose of insulin without the advice of your doctor. Be sure to know:
There are no surgical treatments for recently diagnosed type 1 diabetes.
Avoid products that promise a "cure" for diabetes. No such cure exists. If you have questions about a product for diabetes, check with your local American Diabetes Association office, your doctor, or a diabetes educator.
You may hear of people with diabetes following meal plans other than carbohydrate counting, or using low glycemic-index foods to prevent high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) after meals. Talk with a registered dietitian before choosing an alternate meal-planning method for your or your child's diabetes diet.
Complementary therapies, such as acupuncture or biofeedback, may help relieve stress and muscle tension and improve your overall well-being and quality of life. Talk with your doctor if you are using any complementary or alternative therapies, including chiropractic therapy and osteopathy.
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) is a national organization for health professionals and consumers. Almost every state has a local office. ADA sets the standards for the care of people with diabetes. Its focus is on research for the prevention and treatment of all types of diabetes. ADA provides patient and professional education mainly through its publications, which include the monthly magazine Diabetes Forecast, books, brochures, cookbooks and meal planning guides, and pamphlets. ADA also provides information for parents about caring for a child with diabetes.
The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International is dedicated to finding a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications. The organization funds research on type 1 diabetes, including research on prevention and treatment. This organization publishes a wide variety of booklets, magazines, and e-newsletters on complications and treatments of type 1 diabetes.
The National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) is sponsored by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The program's goal is to improve the treatment of people who have diabetes, to promote early diagnosis, and to prevent the development of diabetes. Information about the program can be found on two Web sites: one managed by NIH (http://ndep.nih.gov) and the other by CDC (www.cdc.gov/team-ndep).

My son hates going to school because there's a boy who teases and picks on him every day. What can I do to help him? - Jesse
Having to deal with a bully is hard for kids — especially at school.
Listen to your son's worries and convey that they're perfectly understandable and that it's OK for him to feel that way. Offer assurance without making him feel like you're trying to talk him out of feeling that way or dismissing his feelings.
As he tells you how he feels, be sure to repeat back his thoughts and feelings using phrases like, "I know you're feeling worried." When he feels understood by you, he'll be more receptive to your help and any advice on coping that you offer.
Let him know that everyone worries, even adults, at one time or another. But also make sure he knows that there are ways he can feel better and less fearful. Go over some strategies that he can use if someone teases him. Ignoring the bully and simply walking away or using humor to combat aggressiveness might get the bully to stop. Bullies often give up when they don't get a response from their target.
Try to get your son to talk about what has been going on at school — just listening can be helpful.
Although kids can resolve many incidents of bullying on their own, do keep an eye on the situation. If it persists, get involved by talking to your child's teacher or school counselor.

The idea is based on an existing game: Haxball
It's basically an extremely simple form of soccer. Your bot controls a team of 11 players (circles that move very slowly, but can kick the ball when they touch it), and the first bot to score 3 goals or something wins.
The reason I think it's so cool is that it's physics-based, with continuous states. That's very different from the discrete-state games we've had in the past 3 contests, so your bot logic will also have to be completely different: you can't just minimax your way to victory.
Now there are a few potential problems I can think of:
- 1. I have no idea what the "skill cap" of this game is. It could be that developing an optimal bot is relatively easy, so the top 50 would all be equally good, and games between them would be decided mostly by luck (or be draws).
2. Because the game is so simple, the matches could be a bit boring and repetitive. Maybe adding things like a sprinting mechanic or multiple balls could fix that, but then the game would lose some of its elegance.
3. Since it would use floating point numbers, we would have to deal with rounding errors. Even though the physics are really simple (just circles and straight lines), the game specification may still be pretty complex.
4. Unlike our past contests, this could be a game where beginners have no idea where to begin and this could cause frustration.
5. It may not be that much fun to program a bot for this game. Instead of incrementally making your bot better by adding hacks and heuristics left and right, you would probably develop one big machine-learning algorithm and then tweak its parameters (like learning rate), with long training cycles each time you change a parameter.
6. Robots can't play soccer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T2aL9XIFQk

Fri, 13 Apr 2012 Urbanears Plattan review
Stylish, high-quality and well-priced headphones
- Manufacturer: Urbanears
- Pros: Colours; sound quality; style; tangle-resistant cord; the ability to fold the headphones; price
- Cons: Not ideal for prolonged use
- Price: £50
- Star rating:
Everyone loves music. At the same time, we don't want to look like a tool by wearing headphones that are unstylish and ugly. Style-conscious music lovers may wish to consider these good-looking Plattan headphones by Urbanears.
The Plattan headphones are full-sized and provide a refined, rich and good-quality sound. They feature something called a 'ZoundPlug', which allows you to share your music with a friend. Another useful feature relates to travelling, an environment when headphones are in their element: the Plattans are collapsible and fold into a convenient, easily portable triangle. Urbanears says the 120cm fabric cord is tangle resistant, and we tend to agree. But we would have liked a slightly longer cable.
The Plattans come in a choice of around 20 colours, making them perfect for those who want their headphones to be unique and stylish. But comfort of fit is just as important as looks, and while the headphones felt good for about two hours of use, they got a bit uncomfortable after that. Possibly not suitable for prolonged use, then, but a comfy couple of hours ought to more than enough for train, plane and car journeys (unless you were planning to wear them non-stop from London to New York) and casual use around the house.
Sound quality, finally, is really strong for a pair of headphones at this price. Taken with the sturdy build quality and appealing looks, £50 sounds like a bit of a steal.

Star Rating:
Duration of ownership: 4 months
Strengths: As described in the article on the mark. Great sound; great design and easy to store away.
Weaknesses: Disagree with the prolonged use comment in that it is fine in winter. However for glasses wearers will rub against the arms of the glasses and also in summer your ears do get a bit warm.
Overall Evaluation: For the price and for the usage the best headphones I've ever bought. Have already recommended them to others and considering getting at least another pair for spare.
