Ogdensburg's $7.5 million Paterson Street reconstruction project could help pave the way for a brighter future at the city's port by linking the vital St. Lawrence River shipping passage to Route 37 across more than a mile of new roadway capable of carrying oversized vehicles and heavy tonnage.
The price tag for the road project comes mostly from the federal Surface, Accountable, Flexible and Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users program. The city is contributing about $900,000 toward the project. Construction on Paterson Street began last month, after six years of planning, and is expected to be completed in August 2015.
Because the project is funded mostly by the federal government, the street repairs from the Canton Street junction to the port will meet federal road construction specifications. State Region 7 Department of Transportation spokesman Michael R. Flick said Paterson Street is considered part of the national highway system, and that the materials and standards used in reconstructing the street will be of a higher standard than those typically used for state and local road projects.
Some of the main difference in the federal construction requirements include the type of asphalt mix used, the density of the road itself and design aspects related shoulder width, according to Mr. Flick.
Wade A. Davis, executive director of the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority, said the Paterson Street rebuild will literally pave the way for heavier and oversized truckloads of goods to make their way to and from the city's waterfront. He said for years truck traffic to the port has been limited because of the poor condition of Paterson Street.
"It maintains the capability of moving objects through the city to Route 37," Mr. Davis said. "Paterson Street as it existed prior to being rebuilt would really limit the future of the port. Being able to move oversized and over-dimensioned cargo positions us for the future and prepares us for future economic activity."
Ogdensburg City Manager John M. Pinkerton agrees that there is good reason to be excited about how a rebuilt and redesigned Paterson Street can benefit the north country economy. He said the new roadway fits hand in glove with a recent announcement from state Senator Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, that $200,000 in state funding has been secured to begin a dredging project at the Port of Ogdensburg,
When completed in several years, the deeper port waters will decrease drop-off times for cargo at the city's 1,200-foot dock, and result in substantial costs savings to shippers who currently have to ferry their shipments to land in smaller vessels, according to the OBPA.
"It just gives us another arrow in our quiver to let manufacturers get their materials here at the lowest transportation cost," Mr. Pinkerton said. "Having Paterson Street connect to the port gives us the ability to use the St. Lawrence River as a byway to get goods in and out of the city.
Mr. Pinkerton also pointed to expansion plans at the Ogdensburg International Airport as yet another indicator that the city's economic future is looking brighter.
"I think we are coming to the threshold of having a renaissance here," Mr. Pinkerton said.

Sephora The Hot 10 Nano Eyeliner Set
Remember these guys from Holiday 2010? It's the Sephora Flashy Liners Set that proved quite a delightful little surprise.
If you didn't indulge or you're just yearning for more Sephora's The Hot 10 Nano Eyeliner Set might be the ticket!
The set features 10 Sephora Eyeliners in mini size in the following shades:
- Midnight Black
- Wild Spirit
- Azure Blue
- Lagoon
- Silver Green
- Chocolate
- Golden Sand
- Khaki Green
- Iced Brown
- Pure White
At $26 it works out to $2.60 per pencil, not a bad little deal for the budget girls!
Although these aren't metallic like the Flashy Eyeliners, they look like a regular cream formula but curious minds if the set might be worth my haul.
What do you think?
Available now from Sephora.com
4/20/11 12:43 Wendy:
I think it's def worth it! I love the little nano liners, Azure Blue is one of my faves… really unique blue.
4/20/11 12:47 Sara:
You know, I forgot about that damn Flashy liner set at xmas. Rats. Really, though, out of all of Sephora's liners I only really truly *need* that bright ass blue flashy one. Need. Probably would look silly though.
4/20/11 14:39 Courtney:
I just got the blue one in the mail yesterday and it looks awesome! You should definitely get it!
4/20/11 12:57 Courtney:
I'm so tempted by this but still unsure. I have an individual flashy liner and it is awesome. I also got a free mini nano liner and hated it. I guess I'm still waiting for someone to review these first. I felt like the nano liner pulled more and didn't glide as well but I'm hoping it was a fluke or bad one because the set really appeals to me. So torn!
4/20/11 14:41 Courtney:
Why can't they just bring back the flashy set? Boo!
4/20/11 15:43 Crissylex:
How does the nano eyeliner compare with the flashy ones?
Are they also waterproof and smudgeproof? I could have sworn I received one of these nano eyeliners as part of the birthday gift from Sephora. I remembered not liking it much as it wasn't smudgeproof and travels everywhere. What do you think?
4/20/11 18:43 Felicia:
I got the green eyeliner in the birthday gift also. I found that it did tend to smear off pretty quickly, and the pigmentation wasn't that great. But then again, I have pretty oily eyelids and only liquid seems to last.
4/20/11 15:51 Misato-san:
I've got several nano pencils… they don't write decently in the waterline and this upsets me a lot…
4/21/11 1:46 theRothstanator:
I love their nano liner in white! I wear it every day on my waterline!
4/21/11 10:54 rose:
i got a free nano in a set and it was very lame, hard as a rock. passing!

For Immediate Release:
Attorney General Lori Swanson and Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman today filed a lawsuit against CashCall, Inc., a California outfit with a history of legal troubles, for charging Minnesota borrowers annual percentage rates ("APRs") of up to 342 percent and origination fees of up to $500 after falsely telling them that the loans are governed by tribal law.
"This outfit has a history of hiding behind front companies to circumvent the legal protections -- including limits on interest rates -- available to borrowers under state law. The Internet is flooded with unlicensed lenders, and people need to be on guard," said Attorney General Swanson.
"Minnesota is not open for illegal and sham lending businesses that prey on our consumers," said Commerce Commissioner Rothman, whose Department licenses and regulates lenders making loans in Minnesota. "The Commerce Department is committed to stopping lending schemes that rip off Minnesota consumers with exorbitant interest rates."
While the loans are held out to consumers as being made by a front company called Western Sky Financial, LLC, in reality, CashCall or its subsidiaries fund the loans, immediately purchase the loans before the consumer has made a single payment, service the loans, and collect the interest and payments on the loans. CashCall uses Western Sky as a facade to fraudulently give the loans the appearance to consumers that they are subject to tribal law, not state law, and therefore not subject to state interest rate caps and other consumer protections. Western Sky and CashCall falsely claim that the loans are not subject to state lending laws (including state interest rate caps) because Western Sky's owner, Martin Webb, is a member of the South Dakota Cheyenne River Tribe.
Western Sky makes loans to Minnesota borrowers of between $850 and $10,000 with APRs of between 89 and 342 percent. Consumers also must pay origination fees of up to $500 at the front end of the loan, which are financed and subject to the same interest rates. In other words, a Minnesota resident who wants to receive $1,000 must finance $1,500--with $500 immediately going for fees--and then must repay the full $1,500 at an interest rate of 149 percent. (In contrast, a licensed lender making a similar loan would only be allowed to charge a $25 fee, with a 21.75% APR.)
At least nine states, including Colorado, Illinois, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, Maryland, and Washington, and the Federal Trade Commission have taken action against CashCall and/or Western Sky for unlawfully making loans without proper state licensure and in violation of state usury laws.
The lawsuit was filed in Hennepin County District Court and seeks to stop the company from engaging in this scheme and restitution for consumers.

Daredevil Project
Daredevil Project
Daredevil Project
Bristol, United Kingdom
The concept of Daredevil Project was conceived by founder Paul Archer, a double World Record holding Adventurer, high up on the Tibetan Plateau whilst driving an old London Black Cab around the world. Daredevil Project believe your phone can be a force for mischief, a tool for more than just tedious bird games and gastronomic photography. Duel, a new competitive photo-duelling app, launches globally in summer 2015. Dubbed the "illegitimate child of Draw Something and Snapchat" by its creator, Duel revolves around pairs of images, with a game-like element that requires at least two people in order to play. The company is based at the Pervasive Media Studio in Bristol, England.
About us
Daredevil Project was started by double World Record holding [mis]adventurer (and ESC Hero) Paul Archer, on returning from driving a London Black Cab around the World.
We believe your phone can be a force for mischief, a tool for more than just tedious bird games and gastronomic photography.
Why are we exciting?
Everybody who works at Daredevil Project had to pass a vital test before they got the job:
Are you somebody we can go for a drink with after work?
We're a tech startup based in the most exciting studio in Bristol (Pervasive Media Studio, Watershed) and every week is completely different. Our team isn't huge, but we only have the best; we like to tackle challenges head-on and get them right.
Our latest app, Duel, launches globally in summer 2015. Duel is different, there's nothing quite like it currently on the market and there's a lot of people excited about us.
Enough startup jargon - if you've got something to offer then get in touch.
What can we offer Escapees?
- Lifestyle: we're a lot of fun, and probably the loudest team working in the studio. Actually, scrap that. We are the loudest team in the studio.
- Bristol: is where it's at. People say it's "like London but you can walk everywhere."
- Competitive salary: got something special to offer? We might even be able to throw a few extra bits in there too.
- Daredevil Project Challenge: each employee has to do a challenge. We'll pay for it, and it'll probably end up being some content for our YouTube channels. One of our team is about to run his first ever marathon, another is going to do the world's toughest downhill mountain bike race. You don't have to do something that's going to destroy you physically, but it has to be something you're a little bit scared of.
What is our culture like?
It's not for everyone, but we love it.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- Those Delta frequent flier miles will not add up unless you spend at least $2,500 a year on tickets.
The air carrier announced changes to every category of its SkyMiles Medallion program.
So, the higher the level, the more you will have to spend to earn the reward.
Delta says the new rules could bump some fliers down to a lower level or even out of the program.'
The changes start January 1, 2014.

I originally posted this in the technical forum (mechanical) since it isn't necessarily PE exam related but I'll post it here anyway. Looking at steam tables for saturated steam, it looks like the enthalpy (H) reaches a maximum at about 450 psia (as does the internal energy, U) and decreases as pressure/temperature increases at saturation after that. Thermodynamically, why is this and what does it mean?
Steam Enthalpy Maximum?

The enthalpy of what? the saturated liquid, saturated vapor? You will begin undergoing phase transitions which can be seen on a Mollier diagram of ln P vs. H. The enthalpy of the saturated liquid will continue to increase with increasing temp and pressure above 450 psia but the enthalpy of saturated vapor will decrease. I would review the phase transition lines on a Mollier diagram to get a more thorough understanding.
Posted 10 December 2011 - 08:36 PM
The enthalpy of the saturated vapor reaches a maximum at about 450 psia. I am trying to understand why this is. How does saturated steam (vapor) at 1000 psia have less enthalpy than saturated steam at 450 psia?
Posted 12 December 2011 - 03:37 PM
Does it have to do with the VLE properties of steam as it continues to be heated beyond the temp that corresponds to the enthalpy you're reading at 450 psia?

Human bites
Human bites present a high risk of infection. Besides the bacteria which can cause infection, there is risk of injury to tendons and joints when the wound extends below the skin. Anytime a human bite has broken the skin, seek medical attention.

Perranzabuloe Museum
Location:- Ponsmere road, Perranporth, Cornwall, TR6 0BW
In 1903 The Great Western Railway completed a branch line from the mainline station at Chacewater via St Agnes and Perranporth, enabling a through connection to Truro. In 1906 this was linked with the Newquay-Treamble mineral railway at Shepherds to form a continuous link with Newquay. In the parish other stopping points (referred to as halts) were at Mithian, Perranporth beach and Goonhavern.
The coming of the railway gave an important transport link to the area. As well as produce and manufactured items being sent to a wider field, building materials and other commodities arrived. The tourist industry gained momentum and the services supporting these activities flourished. The museum recalls the effects of Dr Beeching's railway axe with pictures of the last train leaving from Perranporth station. Much of the line has been lost to development, but it is still possible to walk a section and the bridge in this picture still exists at Bolingey.

NVX engineers chose to utilize top-quality materials, including true 100% oxygen free, silver-tinned copper amp power/ground wire for the XW4GR5. This full copper wire helps prevent signal and amperage loss through the entire audio system, allowing your amplifier and components to operate to their fullest. The ultra-durable, EnvyFlex outer jacket makes installation and routing of the cable a breeze.
NVX stranded wire is extremely tolerant of the rough conditions in vehicles and compensates for vibration, heat expansion and flexibility. This flexible but well shielded wire is crucial for getting through all of the nooks and passage ways within the cramped confines of vehicle interiors.
Cable Thickness
The thickness of the actual wire, not the insulation, is critical when it comes to transferring the extraordinary current of your audio system. With hundreds of strands of wire in one cable you get an increased current flow and a higher amperage carrying capacity with a reduced cable size.
Insulation Material
EnvyFlex insulation hinders electric current from exiting the wire prematurely which prevents electrocution and damage to components within the vehicle. Additionally, the insulation maintains the flexibility of the wire while preventing corrosion and damage in the hostile vehicle environment.
Bundled Copper Wires
In an attempt to beef up their wires, some manufactures use all aluminum or mix copper and aluminum to give the appearance of a quality cable. NVX wire is 100% oxygen free, silver tinned copper which reduces corrosion, increases current transfer, and wont discolor the insulation of the wire.
NVX wire is hefty and strong, but not overly shielded to increase its weight. A quality cable just feels right with a perfect size to weight ratio that leaves it easy to handle but rugged enough to perform its duties.
Please make sure that the wire you are purchasing matches the intended use.
When purchasing wire, make sure that you know what size, or gauge of wire is needed.

If it wasn't for this 5 foot piece of wire I never would if been able to hook up my amps and power cap. I got a belva 4 gage amp kit and compared to this nvx wire, well there is no comparison. Nvx 4 gage weighs twice as much and very thick strong wire. True 4 gage.., very good stuff but expensive

"Traptrix Atrax", "Traptrix Myrmeleo" and "Traptrix Nepenthes". Artwork is from "Traptrix Trap Hole Nightmare".
"Traptrix" (
The ATK and DEF of each monster totals up to 2800. They have the appearance of young girls in their own artworks, but the artwork of "Traptrix Trap Hole Nightmare" suggests the girls are either vicious creatures in disguise or bait to lure prey for their pets.
The pets of the "Traptrix" girls are all creatures known for using holes to trap their prey:
- Nepenthes' pitcher plant lures insects into a chamber with unclimbable walls filled with digestive fluids.
- Myrmeleo's antlion simply waits at the bottom of a pit dug in sand until something falls in. This pit is cone-shaped and the floor is made of loose sand that is also unclimbable.
- Atrax's funnel-web spider sits at the bottom of its tubular web and grabs anything that disturbs one of its tripwires with its strong and highly venomous fangs.
- Dionaea, a venus flytrap, is the exception to this pattern. Flytraps have hair-like trigger trichomes on the inner surface of their leaf lobes that, when tripped, close the lobes in about 1/10th of a second.
- Their Xyz Monster is named after the flower rafflesia.
"Traptrix Trap Hole Nightmare" is not a "Traptrix" card because its does not have 「
Playing style
The archetype is centered around using "Trap Hole" and "Hole" cards to activate various effects. Each Traptrix is immune to Trap Hole cards themselves, while also adding support by tutoring Trap Holes or each other. With these traits, a Traptrix deck will usually have good opening moves, since they can react quickly against virtually any monster your opponent may Summon.
Note that "Traptrix Atrax" also extends her anti-negation protection to other Normal Traps, so the Deck can also run "Mirror Force", "Dimensional Prison", and even make a temporary one-sided anti-Trap lock using "Trap Stun".
Further useful yet indirect support exists for the archetype through the use of their types. Insect and Plant support cards may be sufficient to satisfy the deck's hunger for competitiveness. An example to this is "Gigaplant", "Beetron" and "Lonefire Blossom". Also the fact that they are all EARTH monsters are useful since "Grandsoil the Elemental Lord", "Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders" or "Gigantes" can fit in to support them further.
Due to the small number of members within the archetype, in addition to their reliance on numerous Trap Cards, Traptrix is most suitable as an Anti-Meta strategy, by controlling the field using Traps and slowly gaining resource via either "Traptrix Myrmeleo" or "Traptrix Nepenthes", while at the same time grinding out your opponent's resources. "Traptrix Myrmeleo" can also be splashed in other decks, along with "Traptrix Trap Hole Nightmare" and other Trap Hole cards for covering the deck's weaknesses and giving a little defense boost. "Traptrix Dionaea" can special summon a Traptrix monster from your graveyard when it is normal summoned while seting a Hole normal trap card from your graveyard when it is special summoned, reusing Hole normal trap cards (although it will be banished during your next turn's end phase).
The acronym stands for "Hands Artifact Traptrix". Depending on whom you inquire, it may be seen as a Meta or anti-Meta deck. The idea is to utilize "Fire Hand" and "Ice Hand"; "Artifact Scythe" and/or "Artifact Moralltach" alongside "Artifact Sanctum"; and "Traptrix Dionaea" and/or "Traptrix Myrmeleo" alongside "Bottomless Trap Hole", "Traptrix Trap Hole Nightmare", "Space-Time Trap Hole", and/or "Void Trap Hole". The Hands provide floaters and spot removal; the Artifacts provide disruption; and the Traptrix provide backrow support and the occasional Xyz Summon via Dionaea.
Due to their heavy dependence on "Hole" Trap Cards, en masse Spell/Trap removal will easily bump off these Decks. Similarly "Royal Decree", "Jinzo", "Jinzo - Lord", "Forced Ceasefire", "Dark Simorgh" and similar "anti-trap" cards can severely hinder the Deck unless you control a face-up "Traptrix Atrax", who prevents the activation AND effects of your Trap Cards from being negated. Also, any Decks that running "Forbidden Lance" (or Decks that runs any "unaffected by trap" monsters such as "Troposphere") can evade their Traps easily and still destroy their monsters, making them quite a nuisance.
Since most of the "Hole" cards can only be activated upon a monster's Summon, "Traptrix"-based Decks may have difficulties against decks that designed to have a large set-up quickly (this is more apparent if you go second), such as against "Karakuri", "Dragunity" and "Six Samurai" Decks. To remedy this, mass-removal cards such as "Mirror Force" are highly recommended. You may also want to fit a few Counter Trap Cards (or even "Breakthrough Skill") to handle a monster with anti-destruction ability, such as "Stardust Dragon" (in case you cannot have "Traptrix Atrax" quickly).
Finally, "Traptrix" monsters alone have rather lousy ATK/DEF and without the proper "Hole" cards backing them up, they can easily be dispatched by well constructed Beatdown Decks and most Meta Xyz and Synchro Monsters.

Flight: Volume 1by Kazu Kibuishi
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Originally published by Image Comics in 2004, Flight: Volume One launched this graphic novel series with a resounding bang. Since then the Flight series has steadily increased in popularity — and now all of the Flight backlist will be coming to Villard!
Flight: Volume One received a great boost when graphic novel hero Scott McCloud praised the quality and artistry of the book in an afterward entitled "The Year Comics Took Flight." Little could readers know at the time how prosaic McCloud's words would prove to be.
Authors included in Flight: Volume One are: Bengal, Bill Mudron, Catia Chen, Chris Appelhans, Clio Chang, Derek Kirk Kim, Dylan Meconis, Enrico Casarosa, Erika Moen, Hope Larson, Jacob Megraw-Mickelson, Jake Parker, Jen Wang, Joel Carroll, Kazu Kibuishi, Khang Lee, Neil Babra, Philip Craven, Rad Sechrist, and Vera Brosgol.
"With truly stellar art from masters of the field, this fantasy anthology is a must for comics connoisseurs and a delight to readers who like pretty stories. Fanciful tales of children, monsters, fairy-filled forests and imagined worlds create an enchanted escape. Some of the stories are entirely wordless, while others are told from a child's point of view. Tony Cliff's 'Old Oak Trees' recounts how the author's grandmother found a sort of Wind in the Willows gang of talking animals who live and love and play cricket in the local woods. Ben Hatke's 'The Edge' follows two brothers who find out who really lives at the edge of the world. Kean Soo's almost heartbreakingly winning 'Jellaby' is an account of a girl and a monster at a tea party. Multiple Academy Award-nominee Bill Plympton tells the story of 'The Cloud,' a little puff of vapor who just wants to float into representational shapes, but is squelched by its elders. Editor Kibuishi's contribution is also charmingly drawn but far from lighthearted; it details what happens when boys playing soldiers turn into men. Flight mixes the influences of comics, animation and classic children's illustration into a timeless fantasy." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Regardless of where it's shelved, this book belongs in every library." Library Journal
Originally published by Image Comics, these first two volumes of Kibuishi's phenomenal Flight graphic novel series contain sumptuous, full-color graphic short stories by some of the hottest artists in the genre, including Bengal, Jake Parker, and Vera Brosgal.
Seven clever stories answer one simple question: whatandrsquo;s in the box?
Funny, fantastic, spooky, and suspenseful, each of these unique and beautifully illustrated short graphic works revolves around a central theme: a mysterious box and the marvelsandmdash;or mayhemandmdash;inside. Artists include middle school favorites Kazu Kibuishi, Raina Telgemeier (Smile), and Dave Roman (Astronaut Academy), as well as Jason Caffoe, Stuart Livingston, Johane Matte, Rad Sechrist (all contributors to the groundbreaking comics anthology series Flight), and upcoming artist Emily Carroll.
Praise for Explorer: Mystery Boxes
andquot;An outstanding out-of-the box anthology from renowned comics veteran Kibuishi. With eye-popping full-color art and palettes ranging from candy-colored to ethereal earth tones, this is both a visual feast for the eyes and a healthy helping of thought for the soul. Superb.andrdquo;
andndash;Kirkus Reviews, starred review
andquot;Coherent for all its variety, there will be something here for most readers.andquot;
andndash;School Library Journal, starred review
andquot;This standout anthology will leave its audience with a fresh appetite for more from both the series and the individual contributors.andquot;
andndash;The Horn Book
andquot;Award-winning comics creator and editor of the celebrated Flight anthologies, Kibuishi offers yet another great anthology geared toward middle-school readers. Always clever and never boring, these diverse stories run the gamut from creepy to sarcastic to witty to cute to Zen to wacky to thoughtful. While the pieces feature different artists and styles, each one is complete and so well composed that the transitions from one to another do not seem jarring or out of place. A great introductory title for young or struggling middleschool readers starting to explore the world of graphic novels.andquot;
About the Author
Kazu Kibuishi was 24 years old and working full-time in the animation industry when he began developing the idea of doing Flight. He began contacting his friends in the animation, comics, and graphic novel world to see if they would want to join the project. Little did he know that it would draw him into comics full-time. He now works from his home studio in Pasadena, California, creating and promoting Flight and his popular young adult comic Daisy Kutter, which was nominated as an American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults — the only graphic novel on the list in 2005.

Diabetes in the United States (US) has reached epidemic proportions and continues to pose a major health crisis for African Americans.
Diabetes in the United States (US) has reached epidemic proportions and continues to pose a major health crisis for African Americans. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 23.6 million people of all ages or 7.8% of the population have diabetes, compared to 20.8 million in 2006.1 The 2007 statistics also reflect that there are at least 5.7 million Americans that have been undiagnosed. 1
There are three types of diabetes: Type 1, Type 2 and Gestational. With each category, it is a condition in which the body is unable to regulate its glucose levels. Type 1 diabetes (formerly known as Juvenile Diabetes), also called "insulin dependent diabetes," occurs because the body's immune system attacks the beta cells (which enable the body to naturally produce insulin).2 Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body cannot use the insulin that is produced properly.2 Gestational diabetes, on the other hand, occurs during pregnancy either by increased hormone levels and or low insulin levels.2 In adults, type 2 diabetes accounts for about 90 to 95 percent of all diagnosed cases of diabetes.
Currently, 23.5 million or 10.7% of Americans aged 20 years or older are diabetic.1 Additionally, 3.7 million African Americans of the same age group are also diabetic.1 Men make up 11.2% of the diabetic number, while women 10.2% have diabetes.1 Adults with diabetes have heart disease death rates about 2 to 4 times higher than adults without diabetes. These increasing statistics also raise significant concern regarding the economic implication for the U.S. health system. In fact, according to the American Diabetes Association, in 2007 $174 billion was spent on diabetes care with the bulk of it falling on insurers, employers, and the patients.3 The report states that the longer it takes for the undiagnosed to start receiving treatment, it could cost the U.S. up to 30% more for treatment and complications related to diabetes.3 Patients with diabetes who do not manage their glucose levels are at increased risk for many complications including: 4,5
Heart and Blood Vessel Disease
Diabetic Neuropathy and Nerve Damage
Erectile Dysfunction
Dental Disease
In order for healthcare providers to effectively manage diabetes in their patient populations, staying up-to-date on the latest prevention and control guideline are crucial to a clinical practice. As such, familiarity with the American Diabetes Associations' Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes—20096 is a required discipline to demonstrate competency in diabetes care.
The National Medical Association (NMA) has been an active force within the community in disseminating information to consumers, patients and physicians with the latest information on diabetes. Through the use of partnerships, the NMA plans to continue increasing community awareness about diabetes through linkages with community-based organizations and NMA patients, increasing physicians' knowledge base, and increasing the number of African Americans that receive diabetes and diabetes related (high blood pressure prevention, healthy diet and exercise) education.7 These efforts will contribute to the prevention of complications and the reduction of premature mortality among people with diabetes. Please become knowledgeable about NMA diabetes programs to support your practice and patients at risk-for and with diabetes.8

Shin-Soo Choo has been hit five more times than any other player in the majors.
There are several shades of yellow, purple and blue in the bruise that now adorns Shin-Soo Choo's right knee. It's just the latest of the many bruises that decorate his body, the result of being hit by pitches 19 times, by far the most in the big leagues.
But of those 19, the first-inning pitch from Pirates starter Charlie Morton on Tuesday was different for two reasons.
First, according to Choo, it was the most painful so far. The ball got him on the right knee. So far as a Red, Choo has mostly taken his role as an apparent walking dart board in stride, immediately taking his base. Tuesday night was ...

We're #1!May 27th, 2008 by Josh
For some reason, it seems like our fair city often finds itself at the top of top 10 lists. Unfortunately, we're often peaking on lists that you wouldn't necessarily want to find yourself on. Well, add another one to the list.
The Kryptonite lock company, maker of pretty much the best bike locks around, just published their "Top 10 Worst Cities for Bike Theft List." Oh yeah, we're #1.
1. Philadelphia, PA
2. Chicago, IL
3. New York City, NY
4. San Francisco, CA
5. Tucson, AZ (tie)
Portland, OR (tie)
7. Denver, CO
8. New Haven, CT
9. Cambridge, MA
10. Austin, TX
Yup, I'm shocked, but that's what the data tells us. This list is compiled by our proprietary data….input from our regional managers, hundreds of shop visits, input from colleges and universities we talk with, our customer service interactions (both over the phone/email and at events) and data from police in various cities. When we did the compilation, there wasn't even a city close to Philly. Not even close.
I carry at least one Kryptonite lock on me daily, the Evolution Mini. It's small enough to easily carry in my bag, in a pocket, or on my Fabric Horse belt if I've got that on, but still plenty strong (and actually the smaller size makes it harder to break into). Combined with a cable that I loop through the front wheel and using the rear wheel through the triangle method, I generally feel comfortable locking up for relatively short periods. If it's gonna be much more than an hour or two I'll even bring along another Kryptonite U-Lock for added piece of mind.
But this makes me ever more paranoid. Leave my bike alone!

I've been told that driducks sizing varies from year to year. From the size chart on their web page, I'm right at a medium (5'10" 160lbs), but I'm wondering if I should go with a small given that they run a bit big. Context - doesn't have to fit over a lot of layers, maybe a fleece.I prefer a trim fit (obviously not going to happen with driducks), but it's more important to me that the jacket isn't too short in the arms or overall length.Has anybody ordered recently and can comment on what size I should get?
Can anyone share insight into this?
They've always been very baggy. Get at least one size smaller
I normally where Large clothing because I've got long arms and legs. I went with the Large Driducks as well and am glad I did. The fit is still extremely baggy but the arms are almost long enough. I'm afraid if I'd have gone one size down the sleeves would end at my forearms instead of just above my wrist. Just food for thought if you've got long arms.Adam
I think a small might work for you. It just depends on the sleeve length.
Get a small. At your height and weight, a small will still be loose fitting.
I couldn't resist and ordered the $20 frogg togg rain suit, the fit is as people say, massive, I usually take a medium top and the small, which I got, following advice, correct, here, is big, poofy, I could probably wear every layer I own under it.Very light jacket, 6oz. This is the frogg toggs line of the dri ducks thing.With my myog silnylon rain pants that's a 9oz rain suit, top/bottom, not bad.
Edited by hhope on 04/18/2013 18:08:00 MDT.
Josiah - Similar height/weight, I ordered Small and the jacket is still baggy enough to wear layers under. As for the pants, they were snug on me across thighs (ie minimal layering), very muscular thighs. If built more like a distance runner (lanky) rather than a fullback then shouldn't be an issue.
Thanks for all of your insight, I'm going to go with a small. Not too worried about using the pants.
They are loose.But there is a reason.You need to be able to move, without stressing them.IF YOU PUT STRESS ON THEM, THEY WILL RIP APARTread that again.I am 5-9, 155 lbs , I use medium.The small jacket MIGHT work, the small pants will be both too tight and too short to hike in most likely.My son is 5-8, 150 lbs, and I just got him a medium, he had a small. I , intend to wear everything I have under it, and sleep in it when needed. So fleece and puffy have to fit, and still be able to move without stressing it.Best thing you can do is order both sizes, and then decide.Here is a pic of me wearing medium jacket, at clingmans dome on the AT, I weighed 159 lbs :
Edited by livingontheroad on 04/19/2013 09:54:09 MDT.
I got the large frog togs and they were HYUGE. 5'11"+ 200. but they were perfect I just trimmed them to the size and fit I wanted and stitched them back up. trimmed the tops and added a shoe lace for the waist instead of the elastic band. Ill have to go back and weigh them but after I got done trimming them they weighed like 2 oz? or 4oz? I cant remember but I think it was 2 something(pants). I dont use the jacket as I prefer to use my gore shell(luxury).Ill post again tonight when I get a chance. but trimming them to size is definately the way to go. I could easily take in the sides of a jacket also. Note: These are disposable to me. I throw them out every year cause they just dont last. Also if you get these remember sil-nylon tape or something to repair them they do tear easily and get pin holse ect ect.
Edited by needsAbath on 04/19/2013 10:53:25 MDT.
Tyvek tape works really well on Frogg Toggs, both dri ducks and other version. I think what MB said regarding size though, is a very good point. Unfortunately, it also makes it worse for any bushwacking. The way i solved the bushwacking issue so far, is to put a very light, thin, and very breathable layer of Nixwaxed (or Grangers if you prefer) polyester or nylon shirt & pants on top of the Frogg Toggs.
dont even think about bushwacking in them, unless its wide open spaces. Definitely not in briars that grow in the woods in the southeast US.
yeah, you can't get this light without sacrificing something. Bicycle builders say, actually I think it was Bontrager, strong light cheap, pick 2. These are the last two, clearly.I believe that's an accurate statement re frogg toggs, I don't plan on using mine except for light 3 season, for rainy times I"ll bring a rain jacket that is strong and light, but not cheap.Good point re the bagginess being required for them not to rip apart.I'll stick with my silnylon rain pants though.
Hi M.B., I wasn't talking about any serious bushwacking, just going off trail some to make camp.
I wear a nylon button up shirt over my dri ducks for anything off trail.

AUSTIN — Hollywood loves stars and loves an underdog, and Democrat Wendy Davis is both. At a recent rooftop fundraiser hosted by Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg at the Bad Robot film studios near Los Angeles, she socked away more money for what could be a financially record-shattering race for Texas governor.
Likewise, in Manhattan brownstones, Silicon Valley mansions and Washington hotels, Davis has told her compelling personal story of rising from a trailer park to Harvard Law and reeled in donors. She now has financial backers in every U.S. state and has collected nearly four times as much — at least $3.6 million — from outside Texas as her opponent, Republican Greg Abbott.
The Fort Worth state lawmaker's feats as a fundraising dynamo since her nearly 13-hour filibuster over new Texas abortion restrictions a year ago have put her in a stronger financial position than any recent Democratic candidate for Texas governor, raising the likelihood she'll be able to afford the barrage of airtime needed to compete in a state with two time zones and 20 media markets.
"Texas is a huge state," said Kristin Oblander, a national Democratic fundraiser who helped host a Davis luncheon in Atlanta. She added, "The budgets for these races are immense, and the pressure for fundraising is huge."
But Republicans are beginning to make an issue of her out-of-state money, and it's not clear whether the cash will be enough to help her close the gap in a state that hasn't elected a Democrat to statewide office in 20 years.
Davis has continued to trail significantly in polls following Texas primary elections, and just this week made a huge shakeup by switching campaign managers. Even the chairman of the Democratic Governors Association didn't include Texas while ticking off a list of top races that the group deems winnable.
Davis isn't eager to discuss her out-of-state support.
"The vast majority of the donations have come from within our state. This is a race about Texas," said Davis, deflecting questions recently about her national fundraising.
Courting out-of-state-dollars is not uncommon in governor's races — Virginia Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Wisconsin Republican Scott Walker raised most of their funds last year from beyond their state borders. But it's rarer in Texas where both parties have deep rosters of big donors, and it's sensitive for Democratic candidates who must appeal to conservative voters.
Her campaign crows about an impressive 133,600 individual donors she has enlisted in raising at least $16 million, which approaches the $17 million Abbott has raised since last summer. More than one in every four dollars to Davis has come from out of state. More than 90 percent of Abbott's haul is home-state money.
"Republicans have such a strong base here in Texas," said Roy Bailey, a top Republican fundraiser in Dallas. "If you're looking out of state, it just tells you there's something fundamentally wrong with where you're running."
Although Abbott has taken money from the conservative billionaire Koch brothers, who are in Kansas, his campaign says he's putting in the most face time across Texas' 254 counties.
"We're out there talking to Texans. She's out there talking to Californians and New Yorkers," Abbott spokesman Matt Hirsch said.
The pitch Davis makes to donors elsewhere is familiar: Republicans who've run the state have shortchanged basics like schools and tightened access to abortion, and a new tea party wave is only pushing the state farther to the right. Her celebrity status is an added attraction.
"I shelled out a hundred bucks just to be able to meet her, shake her hand and talk to her for a second," said Vicki Roush, 60, a Florida wine shop manager who's never lived in Texas but attended a Davis fundraiser in Key West. She said she cried while watching Davis' filibuster online last summer. "All the girls I know that were there were beside themselves."
At the same time, some Democratic Party support may be holding back until the state's growing Hispanic population makes a Democratic victory more likely in the next five to 10 years.
"It's been frustrating for people here," said Scott Atlas, finance director for Bill White, the Democratic candidate in 2010, who got little help from the Democratic Governors Association and lost by double digits.
Many Texas Democrats say it's simply nice to see other states opening its checkbooks for one of their candidates for once.
"I think it's to her credit. I hope she raises a lot of money out of state," said Arthur Schechter, a prominent Democratic fundraiser. For other state's candidates, "We're the national ATM machine."

This iReport is part of an assignment:
Sound off
I voted
- sarahbrowngb, CNN iReport producer
Last Sunday was a gloomy and rainy day and I went to the polls, in my small hometown in the north-east of Italy. There was a sad atmosphere in the air and I wasn't too confident of what I was going to do in the following moments. I went to vote with my sister. As usual I entered the polls and the president asked me to give her my ID. She asked me if I had to ore both for the Chamber of Deputies and for the Senate of the Republic. This questions amazed me, since I handed her my ID and they need to check and verify if I am the right age to vote (which I am). Anyway, I entered the polls and voted. I had my iPhone in my purse. I did not take any picture since it is forbidden by the law, but they should have taken it and keep it secure. My sister went after me, an she was given both election ballots, even though she is not 25 yet and cannot vote for both the Chamber and the Senate. She entered to vote and they called her back asking her if she has already voted...
I mean, I am not really trying to discredit my country but why cannot we give at Lear an impression of credibility? We citizens are not stupid... I went home and had a sushi to forget the sad afternoon.. Let's see what awaits us..

Top 10 Best Dating Sites
These are the dating sites that we have visited on our quest to maintain the top 10 dating sites on the Internet. We are a committed group so I'm sure we will keep going (and have a ton of fun in the process). Thanks for coming along for the ride and for allowing us to keep track of our adventures as we thoroughly enjoy our job (visiting dating sites every day and reviewing them). If you would like to see your favorite dating site top our list visit our About Us page and drop us a note.
If you aren't sure of exactly what you are looking for in a relationship or a partner then you should strongly consider the more scientific approach that Match.com takes to online dating. They do a great job of finding out more about you and then matching you with others that are either like-minded or perfectly complimentary to you. Try it, you might be surprised to find out that what you were looking for before was totally wrong for you.
eHarmony.com is a great site that really gets online dating. The registration process is quick, painless, and FREE which is pretty much perfect. Once you get in you will find a very active community which is very welcoming to new members (living up to the friendly name). Thousands of people join every day making it very likely that you will find the relationship or relationships you are seeking.
PerfectMatch.com is solid largely due to the fact that it is one of the original online dating sites. It has everything you would expect from a dating site with that level of experience. If you are looking for a proven service and a really safe option for dating you should take a closer look at Matchmaker.com. We can also tell you that they are very serious about using your real name and not doing research work on their dime. Sorry guys but we had to check you out and we were totally serious about dating.
Even the name of the site sounds really complicated, but that's perfect right? What could be more complicated than finding a lasting relationship? What Chemistry.com does though is take that really complicated subject and turn it into something really simple. You fill out their survey and before you know it, they have figured out several different combinations for you to experiment with so come join the lab and let them get their beaker on.
AdultFriendFinder.com is fun, fun, and more fun. If you aren't looking for it, then pick another online dating site. This is similar to FriendFinder in that it is really easy to register and is of course free. The big difference is that this site is all about helping you find that intimate relationship(s) you are looking for. They want to help you fulfill your wildest dreams which may sound corny, but who cares right? So if you want to find like-minded people wanting to have some good, clean (or not) adult fun then register here, you won't regret it.
Are you looking for a relationship with a few more immediate benefits? You owe it to yourself to at least take a look at what makes GetItOn.com different. You can tell almost immediately by the quick survey upfront which matches you to other people with the exact same things on their mind. Yes, it's a bit edgy but sometimes we are just looking to have fun and there's definitely nothing wrong with that.
Do you want someone to take care of your every need? Maybe someone with a lot of money that will give you the lifestyle you always dreamed of but just couldn't quite afford? SugarDaddie.com has a very good screening process in place to make sure that you are matched up with very wealthy men that are perfectly fine with taking care of you (in fact, that's exactly what they want). So if you are male or female and looking for a SugarDaddie, this is the dating site for you.
If you are gay you may feel like the more traditional dating sites just don't quite get it right. The thing that is great about GayFriendFinder.com is it does and it's all about offering you the relationships that you are looking for in a way that works for where you are. If you need to be discrete they can help you or not, it just depends on where you are but in any case this is the place to find your match (or matches - get your flame on).
LavaLive.com is another really great dating site that makes the process seem so natural that after you signup you might wonder what took you so long to finally do it. Frankly, this site is just fun to use because it has great graphics and they just really did a good job of making it easy to navigate. It's a fun-loving community that is laid back and yet full of life. Definitely check this one out if you are looking for something great that you may have not heard of before.
If your religion is very important to you and/or finding someone that shares your same beliefs is vital then you will simply love BigChurch.com. It is an open congregation/communitythat centers around belief systems. When you join this you can be certain that you have at least one thing in common with others in the community and that can make all the difference in the World. This is a truly unique online dating site that has had amazing results that you'll have to visit to fully appreciate and understand how and why it works.

Ports of Call
- Gibraltar
Gibraltar Port of Call
The Rock © Gibraltar Tourist Board
The British territory of Gibraltar is tiny, less than three square miles (7km sq) in size; however, its location at the southern tip of Europe has given it a historical importance disproportionate to its mass, having been used as a strategic base in many wars going back to ancient Greece and Rome.
These days foreign invaders come on cruise ships rather than battleships, on cruises from both the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Visitors enjoy soaking up the blend of British and Spanish culture, sunning themselves on the beaches in Catalan Bay, and seeing famous landmarks like the iconic Pillars of Hercules.
Cruise chips in Gibraltar dock at the cruise terminal, which offers a cafeteria, shop, currency exchange office and tourist information office. There is a passenger tax of £2 per person, however this is sometimes discounted or waived depending on the cruise line.
Gibraltar Tourist Board
There are buses and taxis available to ferry cruise passengers to points of interest, although once in town most places are accessible on foot.
No cruise to Gibraltar is complete without a cable car trip up to the top of The Rock. The nature reserve at the Upper Rock is home to the famous Barbary Macaques, mischievous apes with a penchant for stealing cameras and sunglasses. The Rock is also home to St Michael's Cave and the ruins of an old Moorish castle. Sun-worshippers can head to Catalan Bay, which offers popular beaches to soak up the sun on.
Theatre Royal - diner fare like burgers and pork ribs with a South African flair

Shopping in Gibraltar is centred around Main Street, where you'll find rows of shops selling souvenirs like stuffed Barbary apes, and t-shirts, as well as discounted alcohol and tobacco. More unique buys are harder to find, but Lladro and Nao porcelain figurines are a popular choice. Many shops accept both Gibraltar pounds and Euros.
