This might be a little late - but I wanted to share my thoughts :)
Overall it is pretty good, just a few comments: I'm not sure if the filter you use for the trees is the best fit. It works, but something more realistic might look a little bit better. The credits at the bottom of the page are a little hard to read, maybe try playing around with a drop shadow to increase the readability. Lastly, a more seamless transition between the firefighters and the trees would help the flow of your poster.
great poster. i think a bold title like WILD FIRE should be bigger and bolder. this is true for posters in general. here is a quick chop-n-crop preview, --but just to get the general idea across, something more like this:
also --just an fyi-- you can use font viewers and font websites to type in something, and see your exact words in thousands of different font previews. sometimes i'll explore hundreds of typefaces like this. for example, dafont.com:
also, when doing headlines as large as posters, you want to take extra care for tracking and kerning on large text, it is often best to convert the text to outlines, and manualy adjust the letterspacing using the arrow keys. you can also adjust how much the arrows move the text, if a point it too much, change the preferences to make it less. the small text at the bottom would probably read fine when blown up to a full poster size. (36"x72").
great poster overall. hope your friends and neighbors are o.k.
It is a very creative concept. I suggest to work on the connection between top ( profiles ) and (Trees), there are better ways to connect them better. Now just a shade of black overlays on trees. May be some lights goes into or behind profiles, and texture between top and bottom needs to somehow get connect.
It very eye catchy and nice already above are just some comments.
Keep up your good work
I was thinking it might mask a bit of the harsh transition if you moved the big title 'WILD FIRE' to in between the trees and firefighters and moved the subtitle down a bit more. Don't be afraid of white space. It can really help to balance --- especially in a poster.
Hi. The part of the credits on your poster is call Billing Block and I Think It'll look better on Univers or Bee which are the fonts that are use the most for that part on a poster. take a look at this free dupe of the font at dafont.com
Just a thought something to try is using lower opacity to blend the firefighters into the trees. I like the suggestion by Bonnie about using the title to break up the transition but with a full poster image of the trees this could work really well!

BACKGROUND: Airline pilots and flight crews may be exposed to higher radiation levels and therefore greater risk of developing cancer. They and frequent fliers can be subjected to a considerable amount of radiation in flight. The type of radiation is generally classified as cosmic radiation and can include subatomic particles and gamma and X-rays, from the sun and other sources in space. The atmosphere around equatorial regions tends to be thick and acts as a radiation shield. This layer is thinner near the poles, and therefore courses that carry planes over polar regions are the most susceptible to cosmic radiation. Higher cruising altitudes reduce atmospheric protection and people experience more exposure to radiation.
HOW RADIATION AFFECTS CELLS: Most of us are aware that the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation can damage surface skin cells, even leading to skin cancers, but at high energies it can become ionizing radiation. Ions are electrically charged atoms, a byproduct of a high-energy light ray (X-rays or gamma rays) knocking electrons off of atoms. The resulting free electrons then collide with other atoms to create even more ions. This is dangerous because an ion's electrical charge can lead to unnatural chemical reactions inside cells. It can break DNA chains, causing the cell to either die or develop a mutation and become cancerous, which can then spread. And if the mutation occurs in a sperm or egg, the result can be birth defects, which is why pregnant women should never be subjected to X-rays.

Police have arrested one of two men accused of shooting two clerks at a Grove Street gas station during a brazen robbery Nov. 26.
Tyrone Lamont Dobbins, 29, was arrested late Thursday at his home on the 100 block of Treetop Drive off Ramsey Street, police said. Investigators are looking for Martino Anthony Jones, 27, whose last known address was the 2600 block of Gainey Road south of Fayetteville off N.C. 87.
The men are accused of robbing the Quick Stop at 502 Grove St. Two robbers with their faces covered by bandanas stormed into the store at the corner of B Street about 7 p.m. and began firing, police have said.
Najib Bouzerda, 44, and Mohamed Ould, 41, were seriously wounded. Both are recovering at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, police said Friday.
Dobbins is charged with two counts each of attempted first-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury with intent to kill.
He's also charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy, police said.
Warrants were issued charging Jones with the same offenses.
Officers executed a search warrant at Dobbins' residence Thursday and found marijuana, cocaine and a gun, police said. Dobbins faces additional charges of possession of a firearm by a felon, possessing cocaine with intent to sell and deliver, manufacturing cocaine and misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
His bail was set at $1.1million.
Anyone with information about Jones' whereabouts should call 911, police said.

text: There has been considerable storm damage across the country and many people have lost pieces of vinyl siding. Siding can be reattached to the house with the right tools and if there is no damage to the siding itself. If you can not find the piece of siding from your home or if it is damaged you will probably have to buy new siding. Make sure and get the same brand and color and this maybe very difficult. Vinyl siding, even though the color is baked through the siding it does fade fairly rapidly. The darker the siding color the better chance that the new siding will not match. So search around for the old siding and ask your neighbors if they picked it up out of their yard.

Famke Janssen Movies
A former model, Dutch-born actress
Famke Janssen
had her screen breakthrough as Xenia Onatopp, James Bond's (literally) man-crushing foe in
(1995). After earning fame and a certain dose of coy notoriety for her portrayal of the character, who was endowed with the unique ability to squash potential seducers to death between her thighs, Janssen went on to prove that she was more than just the latest variety of Bond babe.
Born in Holland on January 1, 1964, Janssen launched her lucrative modeling career at an early age. Moving to New York when she was barely out of her teens, she soon tired of the vacuous nature of modeling and enrolled at Columbia University, where she studied literature and creative writing. Janssen made her screen debut in the 1992 drama
Fathers and Sons
. Following the success of
, the actress began finding steady screen work, appearing in such films as
Robert Altman
The Gingerbread Man
(1998), in which she played
Kenneth Branagh
's ex-wife;
Woody Allen
(1998), which cast her as Branagh's girlfriend; and
Robert Rodriguez
The Faculty
, in which Janssen's part was furthered by alien brainwashing, instead of Branagh.
After closing the century with another excursion into supernatural grotesqueries in the remake of
The House on Haunted Hill
(1999), Janssen began the 21st century on a somewhat more heroic note, playing one of the titular group of superheroes in
Bryan Singer
's adaptation of the popular comic book
. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

As the families of the kidnappers killed by Mills gather together for a mass funeral, their leader Merad (Rade Sherbedgia) vows to make the man who brought them so much misery pay. Meanwhile, back in the U.S., Mills invites his ex-wife Lenore (Famke Janssen) and their daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) to join him on a trip to Istanbul after their long-planned trip to China falls through. Later, in Istanbul, the family is settling in and enjoying the sites when Merad's gang abducts Mills and Lenore. Communicating with her father via a hidden cell phone, Kim accesses his secret weapons cache and embarks on a frantic race through an unfamiliar city in a bid to rescue her parents from certain death. Once she manages to free her father, Mills puts his "particular set of skills" to use while attempting to rescue his Lenore, and escape Merad's unrelenting attack. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A family welcomes home a missing child, but he may not be all he seems to be in this suspense drama. Nicholas Barclay was a 13-year-old living in Louisiana with his family when he mysteriously disappeared, and though his mother, Kimberly (Ellen Barkin), and sister, Kathy (Emilie de Ravin), have been hopeful he'll be found, after three years it seems increasingly unlikely. To their surprise, Nicholas (Marc-André Grondin) returns home one day, claiming he'd been kidnapped by child predators but finally escaped. Kimberly and Kathy are overjoyed and welcome him home with open arms. Nicholas' brother-in-law, Brian (Brian Geraghty), senses this young man isn't really Nicholas, though, and Jennifer Johnson (Famke Janssen), an FBI agent looking into the case, shares his suspicions. But if Brian and Jennifer are convinced Nicholas is an imposter, why aren't Kimberly and Kathy willing to acknowledge the same evidence? Based on a true story, The Chameleon was the first English-language feature from French director Jean-Paul Salomé. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

When a woman serving time for the murder of her husband is granted early release on the condition that she remains under house arrest for the remainder of her sentence, her past strikes back with a supernatural vengeance in this thriller from director Eric Red (Undertow and Bad Moon). Marnie Watson (Famke Jansen) was suffering under the brutal hand of her husband Mike (Michael Pare) - a violent New York City cop - when she struck back in self-defense. In the aftermath of that tragedy, Mike was dead and Marnie convicted of manslaughter. Now released from prison and outfitted with an electronic ankle bracelet the will alert authorities to her location at all times, Marnie is given strict orders to remain in her house until her sentence is served in full. As Marnie begins to serve her time, her late husband's partner observes from a patrol car parked across the street - eager for the moment she violates her probation and he can lock her up for good. But there's something else in the house with Marnie, and now the woman who thought her nightmare was finally over is about to discover that it's only just begun. Marnie's husband is just as evil in death as he was in life, and he's determined to strike back at the woman who killed him with savage ferocity. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A woman struggles to win back the son she lost when she divorced her husband in a gritty drama that marks the directorial debut of actor Chris Eigeman. Kailey (Famke Janssen) is a woman who makes her living playing high-stakes poker and hustling pool, a trade she learned from her longtime friend Quinn (Rip Torn). Kailey's rough-and-tumble life drove a wedge between her and her husband, David (Matt Ross), and when they split up he won custody of their son, Gulley (Jaymie Dornan). However, while David was seemingly the sober and respectable one in their relationship, in truth he's a heavy drinker whose life is controlled by his wealthy, bullying mother, Abigail (Lois Smith). Gulley is unhappy living with David, and unbeknown to his father the boy has been corresponding with Kailey as they plan to start a new life together in Canada. However, Kailey is unable to get legitimate papers for herself and her son, so she heads to New York City to raise the 50,000 dollars she'll need to get passports on the black market.

Much of the group responsible for MTV's The State -- including director/actor David Wain and performers Ken Marino, Kerri Kenney-Silver, and Joe Lo Truglio -- reunite for this outrageous, irreverent, and raunchy sketch comedy, which skewers the Ten Commandments. In the framing sequences, comedian Paul Rudd (who collaborated with much of the cast on Wet Hot American Summer and The Baxter) stands on a black stage with giant Biblical tablets projected behind him and promises to deliver ten mini-stories, each loosely based on one of the commandments, from "Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me" through "Thou Shalt Not Covet." For all of the storyteller's efforts, however, he is constantly, comically distracted by interferences, particularly those emanating from intrusions by his multiple girlfriends. The stories are nonetheless told one by one in short-film form, beginning with a sketch in which Stephen (Adam Brody) goes skydiving with his intended, Kelly (Winona Ryder), but forgets to wear his parachute and gets stuck in the mud, waist-deep, which draws gawkers, media, and in time, worshipers. Several of the subsequent stories consist of raunchy, jet-black riffs on sexual perversion, including one about a virginal librarian (Gretchen Mol) entangled in a sultry and messy affair with a Mexican, and another memorable bit about a nutty surgeon who plays a prank by burying a pair of scissors in a patient's stomach and is then sent to prison -- where he experiences brutal sexual abuse at the hands of other men. As an added bonus, the picture packs in a fully animated sequence, narrated by several crack-smokers, entitled "The Lying Rhino." ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

A man and a woman are faced with an unusual "fifth wheel" in their relationship -- his analyst -- in this offbeat independent comedy. Jake Singer (Chris Eigeman) is a schoolteacher working at a respected private school for boys. Jake recently parted ways with his longtime girlfriend and isn't especially happy about being single again. Jake begins seeing a psychiatrist, Dr. Morales (Ian Holm), whose advise often seems to cause more harm than good. Jake meets Allegra (Famke Janssen), a woman whose adopted son attends his school; Allegra is still getting over the death of her husband, but Jake is strongly attracted to her and she seems to feel the same way. Morales is convinced Allegra is simply using Jake (there are questions about her ability to care for her son that may cause her to lose custody if she remains single), and he advises Jake that if he must go on dating her, he should seduce Allegra without becoming emotionally involved. This is more easily said than done, but as Jake and Allegra spend more time together, he begins seeing and hearing Morales at the most inopportune moments, with the doctor offering un-called-for tips on their relationship. The Treatment received the award for best "Made In New York" feature at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Documentarist Christopher Monger's Special Thanks to Roy London profiles famed acting coach London (1943-93), a man with resounding professional success (including a litany of former pupils who graduated to A-list Hollywood triumph), but who remained guarded about his teaching methods and philosophies on acting. In this program, Monger examines London through the eyes of many of the said pupils, including Jeff Goldblum, Hank Azaria, Garry Shandling, Geena Davis and Patrick Swayze. The title, of course, refers to the much-deserved "special thanks" that many of these celebrities have given London in speeches and credits. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

The owners of Miami's trendy McNamara-Troy cosmetic surgery clinic face multiple midlife (and other) crises as the FX comedy drama series Nip/Tuck enters its second season. Now that they have both reached the age of 40, longtime business partners Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) must make some crucial decisions that will affect their future lives, to say nothing of their professional futures as expert surgical face-lifters. For Sean, the big four-oh means that he will no longer allow himself to be bullied and cowed by his demanding wife Julia (Joely Richardson) and his insolent teenage son Matt (John Hensley) -- at least not as much as he used to be. One aspect of Sean's newer, bolder outlook on life is his brief romantic fling with a self-reliant blind woman, played by guest star Rebecca Gayheart.
As for Christian, he remains as avaricious as ever when it comes to money and creature comforts, but he is also beginning to exhibit a hitherto well-hidden streak of responsibility, as manifested in his desire to adopt the son of his girlfriend Gina (Jessalyn Gilsig). Major developments this season include the revelation of a devastating secret about Sean's son Matt, one that not only threatens to destroy his marriage, but also to permanently split up the firm of McNamara-Troy. Also, Sean invites New Age life coach Ava Moore (Famke Janssen) into his home to help deal with the personal travails of his wife Julia, only to stand by in shock and awe as Ava inaugurates a romance with Matt. Figuring into this delicate situation is Ava's own son Adrian (Seth Gabel), who has some serious issues of his own. And weaving throughout the proceedings is an elusive serial rapist known only as The Carver, who disfigures the faces of his victims -- and who is willing to slash up both women and men, as both Sean and Christian discover to their horror. Among the more fascinating clients passing through the doors of McNamara-Troy during season two are Julia's mother, played by Joely Richardson's real-life mom Vanessa Redgrave; Jill Clayburgh as a dissatisfied customer who is willing to make a public spectacle of herself to ruin Sean and Chris; Lori and Reba Schappell as a pair of conjoined twins who wish to be separated; and in the season finale, Joan Rivers as herself, insisting upon having her multitudinous face lifts "revoked" for the sake of her grandson! ~ Rovi

While Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) and Storm (Halle Berry) try and locate the assassin, Cyclops (James Marsden) and Xavier (also known as 'Professor X') seek answers from their old foe Magneto (Ian McKellan) in his glass cell...Little do they know they're walking into a trap set by the villainous William Stryker (Brian Cox), a mysterious governmental figure that figures into Wolverine's (Hugh Jackman) secretive past, along with information about the X-Men's operation, supplied by Magneto through a mind-controlling agent. Meanwhile Wolverine, just home from a failed mission to regain his memory, is in charge of the students when a crack-commando team led by Stryker infiltrates the school by order of the President. With a mansion full of young, powerful mutants and the ferocious Wolverine in babysitter mode, can he defend the school against the one man who can answer his questions? What roles do the sinister Mystique (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) and Lady Deathstrike (Kelly Hu) have in all of this? Why does Stryker want Professor X and his Cerebro machine? With the war between humanity and mutants escalating to extremes, can the rest of the X-Men trust their old foes to help them?

Yet another classic television series from the 1960s gets a big-screen update in this action-comedy inspired by the Bill Cosby/Robert Culp vehicle I Spy. Alex Scott (Owen Wilson) is a federal intelligence agent who has been assigned to find a particularly expensive and valuable weapon which has gone missing: a special stealth fighter jet which can not only hide from radar, but also turn invisible to the human eye. Scott learns a rogue agent has sold the jet to Gundars (Malcolm McDowell), a powerful and unscrupulous underground arms dealer. After blowing his opportunity to catch Gundars in the act, Scott formulates a Plan B -- it seems Gundars is a rabid boxing fan, so in order to get inside his organization, Scott recruits Kelly Robinson (Eddie Murphy), a longtime middleweight champion whose ego nearly exceeds his talent in the ring. Robinson is excited by the prospect of a life of espionage, but Scott and Robinson's personalities are like oil and water, and matters are hardly helped by the efforts of less-than-helpful fellow agents Rachel (Famke Janssen) and Carlos (Gary Cole). This adaptation of I Spy was directed by a woman who starred in a memorable television series herself, former Hill Street Blues regular Betty Thomas, who has gone on to a successful career behind the camera. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Jon Favreau and Famke Janssen star in this slick indie film about love, romance, and jealousy. Kate (Janssen) almost gets fired from her posh magazine job when she submits an overly graphic, overly personal article on oral sex. As she rewrites her piece, she reminisces on her past flames, particularly on her most serious relationship -- with Adam (Favreau), a fast-talking, very neurotic painter. The film traces their romance from their initial heady meeting, to moving in together, to an unexpected pregnancy, and the inevitable breakup because Adam felt trapped. Devastated by Adam's sudden defection, Kate goes on a dating spree and manages to drive him crazy by going out with handsome yet shallow video star Joey Santino (Josh Hopkins). Meanwhile, Adam grows increasingly obsessed with Kate's private life. This film was screened at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

In Brief
- A remake of pathology, a profession that has processed samples the same way for more than 100 years, is long overdue.
- Emerging techniques allow computerized images of biopsies to be manipulated in novel ways.
- Ultimately, digital pathology will allow for more precise diagnoses of tissue samples, whether from an oncologist's office or a crime scene.
In the late 1990s Dirk G. Soenksen imagined a new future for pathology. At the time, pathologists often sat on telephone books to get a good view through their microscopes, yet Soenksen's children viewed high-resolution monitors when merely playing Nintendo. "Why can't microscopists look at computer monitors, too?" he wondered.
That question sent Soenksen on an extended journey, beginning in his garage. After 18 months of intense laboring, he emerged as the head of a newly created digital-pathology company called Aperio, which he now runs in Vista, Calif. Beyond merely moving images of diseased tissues from microscopes to computers, his technology—as well as that of other start-ups and even established health care companies—promises to make anatomical pathology, which involves the interpretation of biopsies, far more quantitative. This advance should, in turn, enhance the accuracy of diagnosing diseases and help physicians track the effectiveness of a treatment so that any needed changes can be made promptly.
This article was originally published with the title A Better Lens on Disease.

Cops Taser student who questioned John Kerry
Sparks flew during a townhall meeting that Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., held yesterday at the University of Florida. Journalism student Andrew Meyer interrupted the speech, prompting police to drag him away from the microphone and shoot him with a Taser gun.
"He apparently asked several questions he went on for quite awhile then he was asked to stop," university spokesman Steve Orlando tells the Associated Press. "He had used his allotted time. His microphone was cut off, then he became upset."
WTVJ-TV sums up its video in one sentence: "Andrew Meyer, a UF student from Weston, is tasered and taken away by police after asking John Kerry a question during a speech."
There's a video on YouTube, too. The best quality footage is from The Gainesville Sun.
AP says Meyer was charged with resisting arrest and disturbing the peace. He is being held at the local jail.
Update at 9:55 a.m. ET: Thanks to bopdieuropa85 for pointing out in the comments section that the event was in the afternoon, not the evening.
The Independent Florida Alligator identifies Meyer as a senior who is majoring in telecommunication and says he used to work as one of the student newspaper's columnists. (A selection of his writings for the paper. Some more material.)
Here's an excerpt from the paper's editorial about the incident: "UPD's actions are inexcusable and out of line. It owes an apology not just to Andrew Meyer, but also to all of UF. We must be able to trust those who are supposed to protect us. We should not have to fear them."
Meyer's fellow students have created a Facebook group devoted to this incident. It's called "John Kerry conference at UF! A fiasco!!! Needs to be known!" They plan to stage a protest later today.

State Records NSW is now inviting our regular users to trial http://api.records.nsw.gov.au as a new search tool for accessing the State Archives collection.
If you have tried this new search tool, and have feedback to give, we would love to hear it. We are actively developing the tool and would like to make it as useful and as intuitive as possible. So please post any feedback you have as comments to this blog post.
From time to time we'll post project updates to this blog. Any posts of particular interest for regular users using http://api.records.nsw.gov.au as a search tool are being marked with the "Regular users" category (in the right-hand column).
So far there have been posts on:
- Searching the collection with the new API
- Citing series and items using Zotero (Zotero is a free tool for managing research notes and citations)
So what's the whole API thing about anyway?
On this site, and in other places, you may find that the new search tool is also being described as an API, or application programming interface. This is because http://api.records.nsw.gov.au isn't just a search tool, it is also an interface for making the raw data underlying the catalogue accessible, particularly for re-use by developers.
It's a bit like toy trucks. If most online catalogues are toy trucks that you can play with, but only using the features built-in by the manufacturer, then http://api.records.nsw.gov.au is a toy truck built from lego bricks.
Because it is an API, you can take the search tool apart and use its "bricks" (i.e. XML or JSON versions of the search results and entities) to create other things (such as this mashup of ministries entities), mix it with other sources of data (e.g. to create federated search portals), or even upload your own data (by creating applications that automatically tag or add comments to items in the catalogue).
This "API approach" also has a lot of value for State Records because it means we can make better use of our own data (for example, it makes it much easier for us to contemplate creating new tools like mobile phone applications that integrate with the catalogue).
That said, if you just want a toy truck (a simple but powerful search tool), and don't want to worry about all this API business, that's OK, because, at the end of the day, it is a toy truck too!

Daily insulin glargine injections, begun during the early stages of type 2 diabetes, neither increased nor reduced the risk of heart attacks, strokes, cancer or cardiovascular-related mortality, researchers found in the largest and longest study of its kind....
The Outcome Reduction with Initial Glargine Intervention (ORIGIN) study randomized more than 12,500 people at high risk for, or in the early stages of, type 2 diabetes to either one daily injection of glargine (insulin) or standard care (no insulin), over a median of 6.2 years. Researchers found no difference among the two groups in cardiovascular outcomes or in the development of any type of cancer, suggesting that daily insulin injections to normalize glucose levels are not harmful when taken over long periods of time. Patients given insulin maintained glucose levels in the normal range (90-94 mg/dL) throughout the duration of the study.
Some previous studies have suggested a link between insulin use and an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes and several kinds of cancer. But none have examined the long-term impacts of insulin use on serious cardiovascular outcomes and cancers in high-risk individuals, or have followed such a large study population.
Principal Investigator Hertzel Gerstein, MD, McMaster University Department of Medicine in Ontario, stated that, "People have been debating the question of whether there are adverse consequences to long-term insulin use for years." "This study provides the clearest answer yet to that question: No, there are not."
An analysis of data from five European countries -- the largest of the three studies -- found no increased risk of breast, prostate, or colorectal cancer with glargine compared with NPH, or "human" insulin, over 3 years, Peter Boyle, PhD, of the International Prevention Research Institute in Lyon, France, and colleagues reported here at the American Diabetes Association meeting.
A U.S. study similarly found no increased risk of any of those cancers among new glargine users compared with NPH insulin when they were followed for about a year, John Buse, MD, PhD, of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and colleagues reported.
But an analysis of Kaiser Permanente data, found a modest increase in breast cancer risk over 3 years among new glargine users compared with new users of other insulin (HR 1.6, 95% CI 1.0 to 2.8), Laurel Habel, PhD, of Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, Calif., and colleagues reported.
There was no increased risk of breast cancer, however, in patients in that database who'd been on insulin for a longer period of time and had switched from NPH to glargine.
"We think this may be a chance finding," Habel said during a press briefing. "We don't think there's a good biological reason as to why you'd only see [cancer risk] in new users."
Yet Habel cautioned that her study and the others didn't follow patients long term, which would be necessary because cancers take a longer time to develop.
The study did confirm the presence of two previously known side effects of insulin – hypoglycemia and modest weight gain. However, both of these were minor, with patients gaining an average of 3.5 pounds over the duration of the study and experiencing a low rate of hypoglycemia, on average just over one episode per participant per year.
The coprimary outcomes were nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, and cardiovascular death. The second coprimary outcomes included those above plus revascularization and hospitalization for heart failure. The researchers also looked at microvascular outcomes, incident diabetes, hyperglycemia, weight, and cancer incidence.
The Kaplan-Meier curves regarding cardiovascular events between the two arms were virtually superimposable, Gerstein said.
The only real difference was the "modest" weight gain (3 lbs. versus 1 lb.) and "modest" rate of hypoglycemia (6% versus 2%) associated with glargine during the study period.
"We now know what the risks are of taking insulin on a long-term basis, and they are low," Gerstein said.

Christian Substance Abuse Treatment Centers Identify Depression As A Cause Of Addiction
Christian Drug Rehab Experts Discuss Effects of Crack Cocaine
Christian Drug Rehab Pastors Educated by Drug Addicted Patients
For years, addiction has been viewed with disdain and scorn, and people who struggle with an addiction to drugs or alcohol often find themselves looking for help in all the wrong places. In recent years, however, there has been a surge in popularity of Christian substance abuse treatment centers. These Christian treatment centers understand the disease of addiction and can help people work through depression, anxiety and other problems that are affected by their addiction to drugs and alcohol.
Christian substance abuse treatment centers identify depression as a contributing cause of addiction. Through intensive Bible study, prayer and counseling, these Christian treatment centers help addicts become stronger and healthier, not only physically and emotionally, but spiritually as well. Recovery from an addiction and depression is a slow process, but with comprehensive and individualized treatment, it is possible to reach a point where one can feel a sense of peace and calm in their lives.
Many people choose Christian substance abuse treatment centers because they believe that they are "missing" something essential in their lives. Faith is a personal thing, and when Christian treatment centers encourage addicts to develop an intimate relationship with God, they are building a strong foundation for their future. Christian substance abuse treatment centers do not provide a magic bullet for addiction and depression, but they offer addicts every opportunity to invest in themselves and in their own health. Depression is destructive, and when combined with addiction, can be a deadly combination. The only way out of the misery is through a quality program at a Christian treatment center.
