All of our Holiday card designs can be customized with your own photo. For the Holiday card templates on our website, we used the photos from our favorite photographers. Laura Izumikawa is one of these photographers. She grew up in Tokyo and is now living in Orange County, California.
We asked Laura a few questions to get to know her a bit better.
How would you describe your photography style?
I think the way I shoot changes every time, with every person and subject as I draw unique inspiration and experiences with my subjects. My goal is to capture a story at the end of the day.
What do you currently do for a living?
I am a lifestyle photographer, recently adding fashion to the mix.
Which photographers do you admire? Who / what influences you?
James Nachtwey was the reason I fell in love with photography. I am forever in awe of his work. Currently in love with "Mirai-chan", by Kotori Kawashima. Bleubird - I love her life and stalk her constantly.
What's your favorite camera to shoot with?
Borrowed a Hasselblad once and I can't stop thinking about it. "Oh yes, she will be mine."
What do you enjoy the most about photography?
I love that photography can change me as a person as it constantly challenges me to reach outside my comfort zone and makes me want to see things in a totally different light. My favorite thing to shoot is my time traveling away from home. I love documenting new experiences and memories.
Check out some of Laura's amazing photos below and visit her website for much more eye candy.

The days are getting colder and the nights are getting darker, the holiday season is approaching quickly, which means hot chocolate by the fire, decorating your house, and sending out holiday cards to your family and friends. You may be wondering who should receive these and what there is to say so we are here to guide you with the five questions to keep in mind to when sending out your Holiday cards.
What type of Holiday card should I send?
First things first, think about if you would like to include a photo on your holiday card this year? Sending smiles from a newlywed couple, to a family photo or even your family pet is a great way to not only share the holiday love but to let those from afar see how much you've grown.
Next, choose a Holiday design that fits you best! Anywhere from Simple to Whimsical, there is a design that can send holiday cheer in your own unique way. Not sure if your photo will look right with the design? Just ask the experts!
Lastly, choose your option of sending as a regular flat card, folded card or as a unique and fun postcard.

Who should I Send my Holiday card to?
Most people choose to send a holiday card to keep in contact with those from afar to let them know they are thinking of them as well as giving a little update of how the family is doing. So, start by making a list, beginning with your immediate family, then close friends and then those you see on the daily basis or keep in touch with. From an old college friend to a co-worker who moved out of state or great aunt Helen who lives on the other side of the world; all would enjoy receiving a holiday greeting from you. It would also be good to include those who usually send you a card during the holidays.
For those who have family or friends who celebrate other holidays such as Hanukah or Kwanza, there are still plenty of design options that will fit your needs. When sending a Christmas card, perhaps writing a little personalized "Happy Hanukah" note for the individual will help, or even sending out a separate card for your friends who don't celebrate, Christmas. Anyone would be grateful that they were thought of during the holiday season.

How do I update Mailing addresses?
Something my mom does every holiday, is to save envelopes we receive in the mail, so that when next year comes around we have all the addresses all in one spot. It's also a great way to keep your address book updated in case a family member or friend moves. Always double check addresses, before mailing out your cards. Sending a quick email can be a great way to gather mailing addresses as well!

What to write in my Holiday Card?
Adding a personal greeting, short note or signature can add warmth to any holiday card. By personalizing each note with the recipients names and asking how their family is can really connect you to whom you're sending out your holiday cards to. Also, be sure to mention how you and your family have been this year as well as any updates. Finally end this with a cheerful greeting to wish them well. Some examples would be:
"Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!"
"Season greetings from our family to yours."
"May your holidays be merry and bright!"
"Wishing you good times, good cheer and a Happy New Year!"
"May your home be filled with the joy of family and friends this holiday season!"
"Tis the season to be jolly!"
"Warmest wishes for a Happy Hanukkah."
"Wishing you and your family a Happy Hanukkah and a Wonderful New Year!"
"Hoping you are surrounded by love and warmth this holiday season."
If you're still not sure what to say, check out our Holiday Wording Guide for help.

When should I send my cards out?
Remember that with the Holiday season, mail may take a little longer to arrive, due to the hustle and bustle of the busy season. Be sure to get your cards out early to avoid delays in reaching their destination, as times can vary from a few days locally to
2 weeks internationally. We recommend sending your Holiday cards out the week after Thanksgiving or at the beginning of December. USPS recommends mailing out first-class mail no later than Dec. 20 and Parcel post by Dec. 14, Domestic. The holidays can get pretty hectic and you don't want to be scrambling last minute to mail them out.
So don't wait on sending out your holiday cards and get started now! With these simple guidelines, you can relax and enjoy the season with good friends and family. Be sure to shop our new line of Holiday Cards, we have a variety of cards for every style that we are sure you will enjoy and so will your family and friends.

Fight erupts over parking spot at NH mall
Posted: 12/17/12 at 10:40 pm Updated: 12/18/12 at 10:09 am
Tags: Rockingham Park Salem New Hampshire parking spot
SALEM, N.H. (WHDH) -- Six people were arrested after a fight erupted over a parking spot at a New Hampshire mall.
The mall at Rockingham Park in Salem, New Hampshire was packed Sunday afternoon; a big shopping day a little more than a week before Christmas.
A good parking spot opened up; a lucrative find in the huge lot -- especially on a snowy, cold afternoon.
Police say two cars arrived at the same time -- two men in a car, got the spot, and then started walking toward the mall entrance.
Salem police say the four people in the other car followed them in the parking lot. They exchanged words and that's when two people got out of that car, and the fight got physical.
"I was shocked, with the holiday you wouldn't think people would be that nasty," one woman said.
Mall security called Salem police and they arrested everyone involved in the altercation, including a father and son.
People shopping at the mall Monday couldn't believe people would throw punches over a prime parking spot.
"People need to have the spirit, why are you gonna argue, what's wrong with walking a few feet? It's not going to hurt you," one man said.
All six people have been charged with disorderly conduct.

Culver City 10, Pasadena Poly 8
Pasadena Poly's quest for a CIF-Southern Section girls water polo title will have to wait another year.
The visiting Panthers, who reached the CIF-SS Division 6 title game last year, were eliminated by Culver City on Saturday.
"We got behind," Poly coach Ryan Kasuyama said. "They have a goalkeeper who is very good."
Culver City's Amanda Duval stopped 16 shots.
"We just picked a wrong day to not shoot very well," Katsuyama said.
Lindsey Kelleher scored four goals for Poly, which was seeded second.
Los Altos 12, South Pasadena 10
The fourth-seeded Conquerors broke a 10-10 tie with three minutes to go en route to a victory at South Pasadena.
The Tigers rallied from four-goal deficits twice. They had rallied from a deficit to defeat Capistrano Valley in a first-round game on Thursday.
"I guess they like the challenge and to show character," South Pasadena coach Robert Echeverria said. "This time they could not get over the hump.
"But really, you should not do that."
Junior Devin Grab scored five goals and Liza Echeverria had two to lead South Pasadena.
"This was the biggest CIF game for many of the girls and they played hard," Echeverria said. "I'm proud of them."
Bonita 18, Mission Viejo 6
The top-seeded Bearcats opened up an early lead of 10-1 at the half and cruised to an easy win.
Sammy Snow led all scorers with seven goals and Erin Gonzalez chipped in with four goals.
Danile De Herrera added three goals and Angela Gomez scored two of her own for Bonita. Both Lauren Quintero and Natalie Rivas added a goal apiece for the winners.
Bonita took 32 shots on goal and Mission Viejo recorded 21 shots.
La Serna 8, Sunny Hills 7
Gabby Pierandozzi led the Lancers in scoring with five goals and Jenel Rivera, Mary Lou Dee Rodriguez and Katie Hill chipped in with one goal apiece for the winners.
Goalie Jacqui Verdugo had eight saves and two steals for La Serna.

Asterix and the Vikings
As the eighth animated Asterix feature in thirteen years, the Stefan Fjeldmark and Jesper Møller-directed Asterix and the Vikings opens in Ancient Europe, at the Vikings' mountain fortress. Timandahaf, the chief of the Vikings, hears the age-old maxim "Fear lends one wings," and interprets it literally - believing that the most craven person in the world can actually teach him to fly. As Timandahaf, his counselor Cryptograf, and Cryptograf's son Olaf set forth to locate this person (christened 'The Champion of Fear,') the action shifts to the territory of Gaul. In that locale, diminutive Viking warrior Asterix and the enormous, mustachioed strongman Obelix attempt to teach teenage layabout Justforkix (the nephew of village chief Vitalstatistix) to reinvent himself as a tireless, bellicose warrior. The Gallic men are hindered in their efforts by Justforkix's sheer lack of interest - it seems he'd rather shuffle off to the local discothèque or meet girls than fight Romans. It isn't long before Olaf overhears Justforkix's confession that he is the laziest person in the known world, and decides to kidnap the young man and throw him off a cliff to watch him fly. Justforkix is naturally terrified - but doesn't count on falling for the chief's daughter, Abba. Meanwhile, Asterix and Obelix discover these developments and set off to rescue Justforkix. In the English version of this film (the second Asterix vehicle where the animation is synchronized to the speech of the American actors), Paul Giamatti voices Asterix, Brad Garrett voices Obelix, Evan Rachel Wood voices Abba and Sean Astin voices Justforkix. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Dreamworks SKG's second feature-length animated film blends comedy and drama in an unusual historical adventure. Two genial swindlers working as stable hands stow away with Cortez, the legendary Spanish conquistador, as he searches for El Dorado, the lost City of Gold. Luck smiles on the two con men, and they happen to find a settlement in Mexico that they believe is El Dorado; however, while the two exotic strangers are at first embraced by the Mayan people, they've also arrived just in time to be offered up as the next human sacrifice. The Road to El Dorado was directed by Don Paul, who helmed the first DreamWorks animated feature, The Prince of Egypt; Will Finn, a featured animator on Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin; Bibo Bergeron, who worked on Ferngully: The Last Rainforest; and David Silverman. It features new songs by Elton John and Tim Rice, and the voice cast includes Kevin Kline, Kenneth Branagh, Rosie Perez, Edward James Olmos, and Armand Assante. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Dreamworks Pictures has taken the biblical story of Exodus, put it into cartoon form, and released it on the big screen as an epic animated feature. The Prince of Egypt tells the story of Moses releasing the Jews from Egyptian slavery under the hand of the evil pharaoh Rameses. Think of The Ten Commandments with songs and an all-star cast doing the voices. In the Charlton Heston role of Moses is Val Kilmer. Moses' brother Rameses, previously played by Yul Brynner, is now voiced by Ralph Fiennes. The story revolves around these two close brothers, Moses and Rameses. While Rameses is groomed to take over the land, his beloved brother Moses is a carefree prankster, until he learns the true secret of his past. His secret, of course, is that he is really a Jew and as a child was floated down the river to escape mass genocide. The pharaoh Seti (Patrick Stewart) raised Moses as his son. Upon learning the truth of his past from a burning bush, Moses returns to Egypt with God on his side and demands that the pharaoh (now his brother Rameses) must "Let my people go." With songs written by Oscar-winner Stephen Schwartz and sung by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, The Prince of Egypt covers all the classic story points of the story of Moses, including the ten plagues and the parting of the Red Sea. ~ Arthur Borman, Rovi

Inspired by a familiar Chinese folk tale, this $90 million animated Disney drama follows the adventures of a young woman in ancient China. Character animator Tony Bancroft and 17-year Disney veteran Barry Cook (Captain EO, Tron, Trail Mix-Up) formed the directing team with production design by Hans Bacher (Balto), and work on the film began 2 January 1995 under the working title
The Legend of Mulan.
While the merciless Shan-Yu (Miguel Ferrer) leads invading Huns over the Great Wall, young Mulan (Ming-Na Wen, with singing by Lea Salonga) sees a matchmaker about her matrimonial future. Mulan's views on accepted marriage traditions prompt the ballad, "Reflection," as she hopes for a recognition of her true self. To repel the Huns, a man from each family is required to join the Imperial Army. When Mulan's elderly father Fa Zhou (Soon-Tek Oh) volunteers, she objects. He warns, "I know my place. It is time you learned yours." Mulan, however, cuts her hair, dresses as a man, and is ready for military camp, prompting the concern of her First Ancestor (George Takei), who converts an inanimate incense burner into the 18-inch high comedic dragon Mushu (Eddie Murphy). With Mushu hidden in her clothing, she joins a group of raw recruits under the command of Captain Shang (B.D. Wong, singing by Donny Osmond). During an ambush by the Huns in a mountain pass, Mulan steps in to turn defeat into a victory. Mulan was the first Disney feature from the company's 200,000-square-foot Orlando facility (now known as
Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida

Wings: Plane Nine from Nantucket
As indicated by its title, which is designed to invoke memories of the classically bad sci-fi flick Plan 9 from Outer Space, this episode is all about UFOs -- namely, the strange flying object spotted by Brian (Steven Weber) and Joe (Tim Daly) during a cargo flight. Reporting the sighting to the FAA, Brian is blown off by the officials. However, a local UFO Society is more than willing to invest some credibility in the brothers' incredible story. All of this sorely displeases Joe, who thinks that the publicity will ruin his business...even though it's all based on sworn testimony. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Wings: Duet for Plane and Cello
When cello player Helen (Crystal Bernard) finally lands a spot with the prestigious Maine State Symphony, Joe (Tim Daly) is both delighted and downhearted. Delighted because this is the fulfillment of Helen's lifelong dream, downhearted because the couple will now have to break up. Subsquent complications include a "rogue" grease gun and fire extinguisher, a curious decision made by Helen's principal rival for the Symphony seat (Olivia Burnette), and an unexpected last-minute plot twist. This is the final episode of Wings' second season. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Wings: The Puppetmaster
Having done all right for itself during its six-week opening season, Wings was renewed for a full second season in the fall of 1990; at the same time, the series moved from Thursdays to Fridays, and thus no longer could rely upon its "sister" series Cheers as a lead-in. In the first episode of season two, Helen (Crystal Bernard), owner of the lunch counter at Sandpiper Air, is still sticking hard and fast to her self-imposed rule to "never date a pilot" -- and that includes her lifelong friends Joe (Tim Daly) and Brian (Steven Weber). Hoping to break down Helen's resistance, Brian hires an actor named Matt Sargent (Craig Bierko) to impersonate Helen's "dream man," intending to reveal that the guy is a pilot the moment Helen is "in the mood." But the results aren't quite what Brian had in mind. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Wings: Return to Nantucket, Part 1
In the first half of a two-part story, brothers Joe (Tim Daly) and Brian (Steven Weber) are once again two cogs in a never-ending romantic wheel. Brian's ex-wife Carol (Kim Ulrich), who had dumped Joe in favor of Brian six years ago, subsequently divested herself of Brian to pursue another man. Now, the "other man" is history, as are several of Carol's interim romances. When Brian finds out that Carol is making a stopover in Boston en route to London, he decides to re-spark the old flame, choosing the Prudential Building as their meeting place (not quite Sleepless in Seattle, but it'll do). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Wings: Around the World in Eighty Years
When would-be concert cellist Helen (Crystal Bernard) finally receives a callback for a symphony audition, her old pal Brian (Steven Weber) suggests that she might improve her chances if she dressed a little more...invitingly. Elsewhere, Fay (Rebecca Schull) provides moral support to aging pilot Howard Banks (Richard Erdman) who is on the last lap of a two-year flight around the world. Banks is convinced that an earlier "pact with God" will result in his immediate demise the moment his journey ends, and Fay does her best to convince him otherwise. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

01-12-2010, 07:13 PM #7Found the link. If you want to try, you may have a case against the original insurance company, and against your insurance for not going for the whole amount. Also, your medical bills should have at least been paid by your insurance under your uninsured/under-insured policy that is part of all insurance around here.. At least in N.H. . The cost of all this will probably be more than you will get, however. The law just sucks to deal with. That is why I am a power lineman and not a lawyer like the rest of my family.

Well, I'm about to just walk away from it.
The other attorney said I would have blown him away and would have won the case. However, it does appear that the arbitration amount is taken into consideration and I am past the two-year statue of limitations to file a "big court" case.
That sucks, but that's life. I'm going to move on.
On another note, the woman that pulled out in front of me was hurt pretty bad. She had a broken sternum and has been using a cane to walk with until recently she said. So I guess I'm glad I just have a bad back.

NO EXTRA DIMENSIONS YET: A refined experiment for measuring the tug of gravity on a suspended mass [gold] has put new constraints on the possible size of string theory's extra dimensions
Image: EOT-WASH GROUP, UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
The Best Science Writing Online 2012
Showcasing more than fifty of the most provocative, original, and significant online essays from 2011, The Best Science Writing Online 2012 will change the way...
Read More »
If extra dimensions of space exist, they must be smaller than about half the width of a human hair, according to new measurements of the strength of gravity at short distances. Researchers found that the same law governing the gravitational pull between planets continues to work when objects are separated by as little as 56 micrometers. The finding rules out extra dimensions of 44 micrometers or larger, they report in this week's Physical Review Letters.
Discovering extra dimensions with the relatively huge size of a few micrometers would offer spectacular confirmation for string theory, the still unproved body of equations that may unify gravity with the normally incompatible realm of quantum physics. "Even though we haven't seen anything, these results put boundaries on what people can legitimately propose," says experimental physicist and study author Eric Adelberger of the University of Washington. "Testing the inverse square law [meaning Newton's law of gravity] is the bombproof way to look for extra dimensions."
"I'm a big admirer of this class of experiments; I think they're awesome," says theoretical particle physicist Raman Sundrum of Johns Hopkins University. In principle, such tests could effectively rule out theories of micrometer-size extra dimensions, he says. To study such questions researchers would normally expect to use giant particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), set to switch on in Geneva later this year.
Sundrum says the LHC may still get its shot at large extra dimensions, because the new result leaves the idea some wiggle room. "It's not killing that scenario," he says.
With no pressing reason to check, researchers, until a few years ago, had never measured the strength of gravity when objects were separated by much less than a millimeter (roughly the width of a period on this page). But beginning in the late 1990s, some physicists proposed that string theory might cause gravity to grow stronger at such distances if the universe came with relatively big extra dimensions of micrometers in width. (To make its arithmetic come out right, string theory requires that space have extra dimensions beyond the three we can readily experience, but researchers had assumed that these dimensions are extraordinarily tiny.)
Adelberger and his colleagues on the so-called Eot-Wash experiment have led the way in checking gravity's short-distance strength. As in prior experimennts, they employed a small metal pendulum suspended above a stacked pair of fused metal disks, which exerted a gravitational tug on a metal ring on the bottom of the pendulum.
The ring and the upper disk contained a series of matching holes. If the holes lined up, gravity pulled the pendulum straight down, but if the holes were offset, the disk's gravity twisted the pendulum. As a result, the experiment was able to measure the strength of gravity at the distance between the ring and the upper disk.
The key to the experiment is the lower disk, which contains holes of a different size that are designed to cancel out the twisting caused by the upper disk when the ring and disks are in certain orientations. If that canceling does not occur, it means that the force between the ring and the upper disk has changed, either because the strength of gravity has changed or because some new force has intervened that has no effect at the slightly larger distance between the ring and the bottom disk.
In their previous experiment, the Eot-Wash team ruled out a single extra dimension larger than 160 micrometers. This time the researchers attained greater sensitivity by using more holes and covering the apparatus in gold to screen out electromagnetic forces between the ring and disks.
Adelberger says they might be able to get down to a few micrometers, but it would be very tough. "As the dimensions get smaller and smaller, the force [they cause] gets smaller much faster," he says. The payoff could be worth it, though. Sundrum says that if extra dimensions failed to turn up at that distance, it would likely prune off that branch of string theory.

SILAS JOHNSON Jr.
Silas Johnson Jr., 85, died Sunday, Sept. 12, 2010.
Funeral services were Sept. 18 at Harmony Life Baptist Church in Jackson with Rev. Walter Greer officiating. Services were conducted under the direction of Westhaven Memorial Funeral Home.
Mr. Johnson was born in Yazoo City on July 24, 1925 to Silas Johnson Sr. and Ella Mary Hatchett Johnson. After high school he joined the U.S. Navy, where he served his country for 22 years.
He received many citations and honors since World War II, the Korean War and other assignments to complete his career. He retired honorably in 1965 and began a second career at the San Diego State University.
He was preceded in death by six siblings, Robert Fullove, Wallace, Samuel, Janie, Ann Lillian and Georgia.
Survivors include two brothers, Melvin Johnson (Sharon) of Chicago and Travis L. Johnson (Glenda) of Yazoo City; two sisters, Camelia Webster (Robert) of Detroit and Jewel Brown (John) of New Orleans; and a host of other relatives and friends.
Serving as pallbearers were his nephews and cousins.
Harold Z. Ohlmeyer, 90, died Wednesday, Sept. 22, 2010.
Visitation is today from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.at Stricklin-King Funeral Home.
Funeral services will follow at the Stricklin-King Chapel. Graveside services with military honors will follow the chapel service at Tranquil Cemetery in the Free Run community.
Mr. Ohlmeyer was born to Charles and Elma Ohlmeyer on Octo. 1, 1919 in Franklin, La. He married Sylvia Irene Matthews of Eden on Dec. 29, 1944. They had three children: Beverly, Bill, and Ronald.
He attended college at Saint Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas where he played football, tennis, and was the three state light heavy weight boxing champion for two years. After the U.S. was attacked at Pearl Harbor, Ohlmeyer entered active duty in the Army Air Corps in January 1942 and was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant. He was sent to Midland, Texas where he trained as a bombardier and remained as a ground school instructor at this station until August 1943. From December 1943 until December 1944 he served in North Africa and Italy as a bombardier in B-24 aircraft participating in 51 combat missions. On July 15, 1944 (455th BG mission #78) a mission was flown to attack the German oil production facilities at Dacio Romano Oil refinery at Ploesti, Romania. Captain Ohlmeyer was the Bombardier of the lead aircraft. The Group was bombed by "Pathfinder" equipment, due to a heavy concentration of smoke pots that had been installed in the area as part of the defense. Only select crews and Bombardiers were qualified in the Pathfinder system of Bombing. The 455th Group was to lead a maximum effort by the Wing of 165 B-17s and 542 B-24s. The fighter escort was comprised of 231 P-51s and 153 P-38s. A total of 155 B-24s were to strike the specific target of Dacio Romano Oil Refinery. All aircraft were led to the target by the lead aircraft and released on Captain Ohlmeyer's position marking. The target was destroyed. As the squadron Bombardier, he achieved one of the highest bomb scoring percentages in the United States Air Force.
After returning from the war Colonel Ohlmeyer completed many assignments around the world retiring on Aug. 26, 1968. His final assignment was as Special Assistant to the Director for Satellite Programs of the Space and Missile Systems Organization. Colonel Ohlmeyer received the following awards and decorations: Legion of Merit, Distinguished Flying Cross with Oak Leaf Cluster, Air Medal with Four Oak Leaf Clusters, Air Force Commendation Medal, Presidential Unit Citation with Oak Leaf Cluster, Air Force Outstanding Unit Award, American Campaign Medal, European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, WWII Victory Medal, National Defense Service Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster, Air Force Longevity Medal with Silver Oak Leaf Cluster. His Military Flight Ratings were Command Navigator Badge and Master Missileman Badge.
Upon retirement he, his wife Irene, and son Ronald moved to Yazoo City. While in Yazoo City he was headmaster at Manchester Academy, and then headmaster at Cruger-Tchula Academy. Later he worked for the State in the Mental Health program running the county office in Yazoo City and then the district office in Vicksburg. He loved to play golf at the Yazoo City Country Club and fish. He attended a military reunion for one of the organizations that he commanded, and a golf tournament was initiated in his honor as an annual event.
He was preceded in death by wife, Sylvia Irene; and six brothers/sisters.
Survivors include his daughter, Beverly Lavina (Paul), son Bill (Kathy), and son Ronald (Paula); grandchildren, Scott (Chris), Jennifer (Paul), Bill Jr., Christopher (Erika), Steven (Katie); great grandchildren, Sasha, Ava, Rachel, Grace, Austin, Tyler, Jenna, Evelyne, and Gabriella. He is also survived by brother Charles, sister Joyce Stubban, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Memorials may be made to Tranquil Cemetery, 273 Davey Drive, Benton MS 39039. The family would like to thank caregivers who helped provide loving care including St. Catherine's, Campbell Cove staff, Sta-Home Health Services Canton Office, and Prime Care Nursing especially Kendal Ball, Linda Sallis and Shana Thompson.

HARLINGEN, TEXAS -- A south Texas district court in Hidalgo County has ruled against an Edinburg wildlife sanctuary that housed lions, tigers leopards and other exotic animals.
The 93rd District Court recently ruled on April 9 in favor of the City of Edinburg in the lawsuit filed by wildlife sanctuary owners Fred Lulling and Barbara Hoffman. Edinburg is located in south Texas near McAllen.
Lulling and Hoffman asked the court in December 2008 for an informal order that would allow their wild animals to stay inside city limits.
Edinburg spokeswoman Irma Garza told Action 4 News in Harlingen on Thursday that a city ordinance prohibits keeping such animals inside city limits.
State District Judge Rudy Delgado dismissed the Lulling's and Hoffman's case citing lack of jurisdiction, failure to follow procedural steps and failure to file their lawsuit in a timely manner.
Garza told Action 4 News that the city is allowing the animals to remain at the sacntury off U.S. Highway 281 through December 31.
But Garza added in a prepared statement that Lulling and Hoffman have failed to register their animals with the city, the state and USDA as requested by city officials.

An Italy win and they're in – a draw, and it depends on the other result. Slovakia win and they could be in, but only if New Zealand fail to take a point from Paraguay (does your head hurt yet?). Azzurri haven't been convincing, but they did look a little better second time out and they'll be intent on preventing an early goal. So far, Marcello Lippi has changed formations while sticking with the same lineup. Both teams are having problems up front, so it looks a tight one – again.
Prediction: Slovakia 0, Italy 1
Paraguay (1-1-0) vs New Zealand (0-2-0), 10 a.m. ET
Paraguay tops the group, but can't slip up here – a loss and the bruising All Whites will pass them in the standing and claim a knockout spot. Unthinkable? There is no such thing at this World Cup. But South American form here has been good and Paraguay is expected to make minimal changes to avoid a knockout meeting with Holland. New Zealand has already surpassed expectations.
Prediction: Paraguay 2, New Zealand 0
Denmark (1-0-1) vs Japan (1-0-1), 2:30 p.m. ET
Second place in the group at stake, with Japan holding the edge on goal differential and needing just a draw to go through. Blue Samurai – that's their name, one of the better ones here – will defend and play it safe against Danish side that is missing suspended Simon Kjaer and may be without ailing Nicklas Bendtner – Kjaer's perfectly weighted 60-metre pass to Rommedahl, and on to Bendtner for the sliding finish against Cameroon was one of the best goals here. Danes would miss big Bendtner on set pieces in which they appear to have an advantage – given the nature of this one, I'd expect he'll play.
Prediction: Denmark 1, Japan 0
Cameroon (0-0-2) vs Netherlands (2-0-0), 2:30 p.m. ET
Dutch is in, Lions are out, so there's not much to play for here except pride, and the possibility that Arjen Robben will get some burn. Robben's been out injured and would be making with debut here. They've played so far as if they have something left in reserve – and still won both. Don't really expect a slipup here against demoralized Indomitable Lions.
Prediction: Cameroon 1, Netherlands 2

Will it Ever End?
July 1st, 2009 | by Ray Flowers |The Pirates are at it again, and that isn't a good thing. For a proud franchise, one that has won nine pennants and five world championships in it's illustrious history, there is no end in sight to the continual failures of the organization.
Next Year.
That's the refrain the fans are fed year after year by the front office.
And year after year the refrain is repeated yet again.
For a group of fans that haven't witnessed their team post a .500 record since Barry Bonds left the club after the 1992 season, their frustration must be at an all-time high. Why do I say that? Well beyond their unbelievable run of futility, the Pirates made a couple of moves in past day or so that has the team, once again, looking to the future. This time the players are voicing their displeasure at the moves.
"It's not our job to understand the big plan, I guess," first baseman Adam LaRoche said.
Here is what shortstop Jack Wilson had to say. "We know that they're looking to the future, which doesn't say much about 2009. We're five games out, and we lost two or three of our everyday players…I've been here nine years. I've seen two or three of these trades every year and still haven't had a winning season."
Management, of course, has a different take.
"The upside that we're gaining is something we can't pass up," manager John Russell said.
What moves are we talking about?
The Pirates sent OF Nyjer Morgan, RP Sean Burnett and jack of all trades Eric Hinske out of town in a couple of moves, and in return they netted the talented but enigmatic Lastings Milledge and the talented but unproductive Joel Hanrahan. It really can't be argued that the club received the more talented players in these deals, but the questions are a plenty.
(1) Can a guy who was banished to the minors a year after hitting 14 home runs while stealing 24 bases be a difference maker? What if that guy was terribly ineffective at the dish this season (.167 in 24 at-bats) prior to his demotion? What if that guy continues to live his life as if no one else matters but himself? Milledge has 20/20 talent, but he has proven thus far to have a .20 cent head.
(2) Does the club really need a 95 mph throwing reliever who failed miserably as a closer this season for the Nationals (five saves, five blown saves)? You can't teach 95, and Hanrahan does have 128 Ks in his last 117 innings so he certainly has talent, but he is far from a finished product with a career walk rate of 5.04 per nine innings
Beyond these two moves, which again seemed to net the club the more talented options, the question becomes one that the organization must answer to the fans – do they intend to make money or produce a winning squad? Remember, this is a team that let its best player, Jason Bay, go last year in a late season deal and then followed that move up by trading their new "best" player to the Braves when they moved Nate McLouth this season. What kind of message does a club send to it's fan base when it trades away its number three and four hitters for a couple of prospects, a decidedly average starting pitcher (Charlie Morton), a pitcher no one has heard of in Bryan Morris, a failed reliever in Craig Hansen and a failed outfielder in Brandon Moss? Oh yeah, the club also got third baseman Andy LaRoche but I almost forgot him because he is hitting a whopping .278 with a massive three home runs and a staggeringly mediocre .750 OPS this season.
Look, I'm not a Pirates fan at all, but I can sympathize with the fans of a club that have to pay money to watch an ownership group that continues to say "wait til next year." My question is, will they ever reach the point of "next year" or is this a conundrum in the same vein as the fact that we think we can never travel the speed of light as Albert Einstein posited many years ago (why is light speed travel not possible you ask? For those of you that care click on the link to Speed of Light and scroll down to "The Ultimate Speed of Light" for a brief description). For the Pirates sake I truly hope next year really is next year, though I still wonder if the Pirates have assembled enough talent to even return to the level of respectability and a .500 record. One can hope, and the eternal optimist in us all surely hasn't given up on that.

Premixed insulin analogues are an option for treating adults with type 2 diabetes. This guide summarizes clinical evidence comparing the effectiveness and safety of premixed insulin analogues with other insulin preparations and oral diabetes drugs. This guide does not address the use of insulin in pumps. It does not address the effectiveness of insulin treatment for people with type 1 diabetes, women with gestational diabetes, or people younger than 18 years old. It also does not cover evidence about the effectiveness of dietary and other lifestyle modifications for treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Clinical Issue
Type 2 diabetes is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance in peripheral tissues and an inability of the pancreas to compensate by increasing insulin secretion.
Medication regimens to lower glucose levels are a primary component of type 2 diabetes treatment. Although oral diabetes drugs are often effective, insulin is frequently required to achieve a desired level of glucose control. Twenty-eight percent of people with type 2 diabetes use insulin alone or in combination with an oral diabetes drug.
Premixed insulin analogues combine rapid- and intermediate-acting insulin analogues and were developed to provide more flexibility in treatment regimens. They are among several treatment options when insulin is needed to treat type 2 diabetes.
We do not have enough data to compare premixed insulin analogues with all treatment options. However, there is sufficient evidence to compare them with premixed human insulin, long-acting insulin analogues, and oral diabetes drugs.
Clinical Bottom Line
Clinical Bottom Line
- Premixed insulin analogues and premixed human insulin have similar effects on glycosylated hemoglobin (A1c), and rates of hypoglycemia are similar.
Level of confidence: - Premixed insulin analogues help achieve lower postprandial glucose levels than premixed human insulin.
Level of confidence: - Premixed insulin analogues help achieve lower A1c levels than long-acting insulin analogues used alone, but rates of hypoglycemia are higher.
Level of confidence: - Premixed insulin analogues are linked with more episodes of hypoglycemia than oral diabetes drugs.
Level of confidence:
- Premixed insulin analogues help achieve lower A1c levels than oral diabetes drugs used alone.
Level of confidence:
Confidence Scale
The confidence ratings in this guide are derived from a systematic review of the literature. The level of confidence is based on the overall quantity and quality of clinical evidence.
There are consistent results from good quality studies. Further research is very unlikely to change the conclusions.
Findings are supported, but further research could change the conclusions.
There are very few studies, or existing studies are flawed.
Insulin Preparations
Insulin preparations (Table 1) are distinguished by their pharmacokinetic properties, including onset, peak, and duration of action (Figure 1).
Human Insulin
Recombinant human insulin is structurally identical to insulin produced by the human pancreas. Human insulin is available in short-acting (regular insulin) and intermediate-acting (NPH insulin) preparations.
- Regular insulin injected subcutaneously enters the bloodstream more slowly and over a longer period of time than insulin secreted by the pancreas in response to a meal.
- NPH insulin enters the bloodstream more slowly than regular insulin, and its levels rise and fall over a longer period of time.
Premixed Human Insulin
Premixed combinations of NPH and regular insulin are available. They provide basal (continuous) insulin supplementation and short-term mealtime coverage.
Insulin Analogues
Insulin analogues are modified forms of human insulin. Amino acid substitutions alter their pharmacokinetic properties.
- Lispro, aspart, and glulisine have a more rapid onset and shorter duration of action than regular insulin. Like regular insulin, they are taken at mealtimes.
- Glargine and detemir have a longer duration of action and maintain more constant blood levels than NPH insulin.
Premixed Insulin Analogues
Premixed insulin analogues combine a rapid-acting insulin analogue with its intermediate-acting protamine suspension. They provide basal insulin supplementation and short-term mealtime coverage.

Comparing Effectiveness and Adverse Events
The evidence compiled for this guide (Table 2) comes primarily from clinical studies that compare premixed insulin analogues with other insulin preparations or oral diabetes drugs.
The main outcomes in these studies were intermediate measures of clinical effectiveness, including A1c, fasting glucose, and postprandial glucose.
The studies were not designed to address cardiovascular outcomes or morbidity.
There is not enough evidence to compare premixed insulin analogues with rapid-acting insulin analogues alone, NPH insulin alone, or regimens using both short-acting and long- or intermediate-acting insulin in other dosing ratios.
In general, premixed insulin analogues:
- Lead to lower postprandial glucose levels than premixed human insulin; other outcomes are similar.
- Lead to lower A1c and postprandial glucose levels than long-acting insulin, but higher fasting glucose.
- Lead to lower A1c and glucose levels than oral diabetes drugs.

Choosing Types of Insulin
Selecting the type of insulin preparation depends on many factors, including an individual's response to insulin, meal patterns, ability to self-inject, diet, exercise, and preferences. Also, insulin preparations vary in their effectiveness to control fasting and postprandial glucose levels.
Controlling both fasting and postprandial glucose levels is necessary to achieve glycemic control. At higher A1c levels, fasting glucose control is more beneficial in lowering A1c closer to the desired target of about 7 percent. When A1c is closer to 7 percent, postprandial glucose control becomes more important.
- For people who have not achieved adequate glucose control on oral diabetes drugs, insulin therapy should be considered.
- Premixed insulin analogues and premixed human insulin have similar effects on A1c and fasting glucose. However, premixed insulin analogues lead to lower postprandial glucose levels.
- Premixed insulin preparations are intended to simplify dosing and may permit a lower number of daily insulin injections for people using more than one type of insulin.
- Premixed insulin preparations are available in 70/30, 75/25, and 50/50 ratios for basal supplementation and mealtime coverage.
- Premixed insulin preparations are not as suitable as single insulin formulations for adjusting daily doses to account for changes in activity levels and meal regimens.
Still Unknown
Evidence is insufficient to determine whether the effectiveness or adverse events of premixed insulin analogues vary by age, gender, race, or ethnicity. Evidence is also insufficient to determine if they vary for people with poor glycemic control or coexisting medical conditions.
There is also insufficient evidence on the long-term safety of premixed insulin analogues and their impact on quality of life and treatment satisfaction.
Most studies of premixed insulin analogues last 1 year or less and focus on short-term outcomes. Therefore, evidence is insufficient to determine the effects of premixed insulin analogues on long-term outcomes, such as mortality, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, neuropathy, retinopathy, and long-term weight change, compared with other antidiabetic medications.
On the Horizon
A retrospective observational study comparing the cardiovascular outcomes of people starting insulin glargine compared with those starting premixed insulin analogues was completed in January 2008.
Two additional studies are in progress to evaluate quality of life and treatment satisfaction with premixed insulin analogues and the long-acting insulin glargine with or without rapid-acting glulisine.
