This press release is an announcement submitted by Reuters Health, and was not written by Diabetes Health.
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A number of traditional Chinese herbs may help control blood sugar levels in people at high risk of diabetes, a new research review suggests.
The review, which examined 16 clinical trials of 15 different herbal formulations, found that the herbs generally helped lower blood sugar levels in people with "pre-diabetes" -- those with impaired blood-sugar control that can progress to full-blown type 2 diabetes.
When the researchers pooled data from eight of the studies, they found that adding an herbal remedy to lifestyle changes doubled the likelihood of participants' blood sugar levels returning to normal.
What's more, people using the remedies were two-thirds less likely to progress to diabetes during the studies, which ran for an average of nine months.
The findings appear in the Cochrane Library, which is published by the Cochrane Collaboration, an international organization that evaluates medical research.
The results, say the researchers, are "quite promising." However, they also stress that the studies had shortcomings in their methods that make it hard to draw firm conclusions.
"There are a lot of herbal medicine products on the shelves, but few have been subjected to a rigorous trial," lead researcher Suzanne J. Grant, of the Center for Complementary Medicine Research at the University of Western Sydney, in Australia, told Reuters Health in an email.
Many of the trials her team examined, she explained, had a "high risk of bias" that can overestimate the effects of the treatments.
The gold standard for proving a treatment's efficacy is a clinical trial where participants are randomly assigned to receive either the real treatment or a placebo, with both the researchers and participants unaware of who is taking the real drug.
Grant's team found that those processes were often absent or not clearly detailed in the trials they reviewed.
So, she said, there is still a need for more rigorous trials before any herbal product can be recommended for diabetes prevention.
The studies included a total of 1,391 men and women with either impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose -- problems in blood-sugar control that lead to sugar levels that are elevated, but not high enough to diagnose diabetes.
The studies tested various Chinese herbal mixes traditionally used for blood-sugar control -- products like Jiangtang Bushen, Xiaoke huaya and Tang Kang yin.
In most trials, the products were added to lifestyle changes and tested against the effects of lifestyle changes alone -- though the specific changes were not detailed in most reports.
Grant suggested that if people with pre-diabetes do want to try an herbal product, they first consult their doctor and, ideally, take any herbs under a guidance of a health provider qualified in herbal medicine.
She pointed out that in traditional Chinese medicine, herbs are recommended based on individuals' unique situations, and not as a one-size-fits-all prescription.
As far as safety, the review found no serious side effects attributed to the herbal products. However, Grant noted, like all medicines, herbs have the potential for unexpected side effects or interactions with other drugs.

High anxiety concerning the future of pharmaceutical funding of continuing medical education permeated the Alliance for Continuing Medical Education annual conference, held January 28–31 in San Francisco. In numerous sessions, attendees and speakers discussed how the increasingly strict regulatory environment and negative public, media, and government perception of CME is threatening collaboration between CME providers and pharmaceutical company grantors.
"Continuing medical education will continue to be attacked in 2009, and we need to start controlling our own destiny," said one speaker from a pharmaceutical company during a standing-room-only session. "If we don't control inappropriate bias, CME will be tainted. We need to look deep into ourselves and take [commercial] influence out of content."
Companies are becoming much more discriminating about approving grants. One speaker reported that five years ago her company approved 70 percent of the grant applications it received; that figure has dropped to 26 percent. It's particularly important that providers include a mechanism for measuring and publishing the outcomes of education activities so that grantors can demonstrate the value of the programs internally to their higher ups, as well as to the public, speakers said.
The location of CME events continues to be a hot-button issue. Polled via an audience-response system, attendees at one session were asked whether it was acceptable to hold conferences in ski resorts. The largest number of respondents—53 percent—said no, because of the perception issue. Twenty-five percent said ski resorts are acceptable sites as long as the education, rather than skiing, is the focus of the conference; while 22 percent of respondents were on the fence. However, the speakers from pharmaceutical companies were much more definite. "Nine times out of 10, if we see a ski resort on the grant application, we will decline the application because of that," said one panelist.
A frustrated audience member from a medical specialty society pointed out that the revised PhRMA Code on Interactions with Healthcare Professionals, which went into effect last month, specifically states that accredited providers should control all aspects of CME, including venue selection. "How can you say you comply with the PhRMA code and then decline grants for meetings held at resorts?" she asked.
"Yes, it is up to you to choose the venue, and you can choose resorts, but we may not be able to authorize the grant due to internal corporate policies," responded one panelist.
To mitigate against conflict of interest, providers should try to get support from multiple pharmaceutical companies, speakers said, and seek funding from outside the life-sciences industry. Large corporations, such as Microsoft and Nike, could be convinced to support CME, said one pharma speaker, if providers explain that doctors will give patients better care as a result of CME, which might result in employees losing less work time due to chronic illnesses.
For more coverage of the Alliance for CME conference, watch for the March/April issue of Medical Meetings.

Plans are in the works to honor Australian artist David Legaspi, whose murals adorn most of the walls at Webster Elementary School and other campuses across Malibu and Santa Monica.
Legaspi died recently, but details about his death were not immediately available. Word leaked out of his passing over email Sunday, as parents and supporters of began to discuss ways to honor the artist.
Webster's principal, Phil Cott, said Legaspi's death is a terrible loss to the Malibu and Santa Monica communities.
"Our whole campus is covered with beautiful murals that he did alone and large areas of murals that he did with every student at our school at that time and with parents," Cott said.
He said the artwork depicts aquatic life and enriches the elementary school environment.
Cott said he was touched at the way Legaspi allowed students to paint with him.
"He wasn't possessive of the mural or the professional quality of it. He just wanted everyone to be part of it," Cott said.
Legaspi also donated one of his world-famous painted surfboards, which was auctioned off for thousands of dollars for Webster, according to Cott.
The artist's work is not only at Webster Elementary. He also did murals at other schools in SMMUSD, the Los Angeles Unified School District, the cities of Malibu and Santa Monica, private and public schools in the valley, South Bay schools, nonprofits such as the State PTA, as well as private commissions.
Legaspi refused compenstation for the work at public schools in the SMMUSD.
"We had a fight with him just to pay for the materials," Cott recalled.
He said the murals create a peaceful setting at Webster for students, teachers and staff.
"He chose themes that are appropriate in this community in this place where these kids are growing up," Cott said.

The best thing about top overall pick Anthony Bennett's tremendously disappointing rookie season is that it has provided cover for some tremendously disappointing seasons by other rookies.
Namely, Otto Porter.
Porter was taken third in the 2013 draft by the Washington Wizards and has been worse than Bennett. Much worse.
Bennett is averaging 4.2 points and 3.0 rebounds while shooting just 35 percent from the floor. Pedestrian numbers, for sure, and unacceptable for a top pick who is expected to contribute right away.
But Bennett looks like Wilt Chamberlain compared to Porter, who is averaging 1.7 points and 1.4 rebounds while shooting 30 percent. Through February, he had 37 points in 215 minutes.

Well, you know it's the Christmas season when the lawsuits start getting filed over nativity scenes on public property. Putting up these creches or manger scenes that depict the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, has long been used during this holiday season to serve as a reminder of the reason behind all the newspaper inserts and television ads.
The first nativity scene is credited to St Francis of Assisi, in 1223, where he used real people and animals in a cave near Greccio, Italy. He set this scene to remind people that the meaning of Christmas was about Jesus and not materialism and gifts. Being approved by the Pope, other churches across Italy started setting up nativity scenes at Christmas. As the tradition spread, statues eventually replaced the humans and animals. But the meaning behind the nativity scenes was still to remind us of the reason Christmas. That is until the 1990, when nativity scenes started reminding us of the separation between church and state. Some people insisted that nativity scene should be in front of city halls or the town squares. This was not the reason St. Francis had when he established the first nativity scene. Nativity scenes are not the reason behind Christmas, they represent the meaning of Christmas and should be in front of churches, not court houses. It's not the nativity scene that's important, it's the meaning behind it.
Some "Christians" would rather fight over a word rather than celebrate what the word stand for. Take, for example, the the phrase "Merry Christmas." There are some who argue that if you say "Happy Holiday" your denigrating the meaning of Christmas. There is always talk of boycotting stores where "Happy Holiday" is used. Complaints are made over cities and states who erect Holiday Trees rather than Christmas Trees. What is overlooked is that the word "holiday" comes from the Old English words "Holy Day." And, guess what, Christmas is a holy day. So saying Happy Holiday is saying happy holy day and the holy day is Christmas. It's not the word that is significant, it's the meaning behind it.
A few years back there was an uproar over the use of Xmas for Christmas. Some people claimed that this was "x'ing out Christ in Christmas. In fact, the church in the past had often referred to Christmas as Xmas because the Greek letter chi or "X" was the initial for Christ. You may have seen the Greek chi placed on the Greek letter rho, which looks like a capital "P." This is a frequently used symbol for Christ on church vestments and hangings. It's not the word, or letter, that's important it's the meaning behind it.
I suggest that rather than trying to put nativity scenes on public property, or avoiding places where they say Happy Holiday or have a Holiday tree, or complain about the "X" in Xmas, we start remembering the important thing that is behind all these things. Stop worrying about creches, trees, and terms and start worrying about the hungry, the poor, and the homeless. And have a Happy Holiday.

The only person I liked was a South African (?) woman. They have heating problems (too much AND too little), and the dishes are dirty, although previous tenants are to blame since THEY are supposed to clean.

- " This place is very old and in desperate need of a facelift. They are in a nice area of DC, Adams Morgan. It has a strange layout, but is not inviting. The check in area is combined with the tv lounge. Its awkward to say the least. The room that I was in was a 6 bed dorm, but is way too small. There are no lockers available to secure any of your belongings and just some spaces here and there in the room to place your luggage. The bathroom was also disappointing. The mirror is rusting. "

I recently got a water-damaged iPhone from my mother and a drop-damaged iPhone from my step-mom about 6 months ago. I merged the two together (just swapped the screen from the water damaged one over), and voila, I had a functional iPhone 3G.
However, I am having frequent wifi drops on it. It will sit there showing full connection and then drop down to 1 bar or even disconnect at least once every 5 minutes. It will pick it up again, and then reconnect. It seems to occur frequently even when the phone is just sitting there.
It is running 4.2.1 non-jailbroken and still having the issues. Since I took it apart, I assume it could be a connection or something inside, but I am unsure where to begin. I have completely ripped apart my iPhone 4, so I am not afraid to get my hands a little dirty. Might anyone have a suggestion to fix it?
The device has been jailbroken before and downgraded to 3.1.3, but it still presented the issue then. I am unsure if it was working consistently before I received it or not.
Things I've tried:
-Resetting network settings (from iPhone)
-Changing router channel (1/7/11 tried, can only pick up 2 other wifi networks so should have worked on at least 1 of them)
-Hard rebooting
-iTunes 4.2.1 restore

|Center of Excellence to Prevent Chronic Diseases and Promote Health on the U.S. - Mexico Border
What is the COE?
The Center of Excellence (COE) is a partnership of academic, research, and service institutions along the U.S.-Mexico Border. The strategic agenda is based on the experiences of the participating institutions, building on their strengths and their collaborative efforts and adapting theoretical designs and models to the context and culture of the Border communities. COE members are involved in evaluating a chronic disease prevention model in each site, establishing a health services and resources observatory including a data registry and a data base of information generated in each site. The COE, led by its member institutions, and coordinated by the Pan American Health Organization U.S.-Mexico Border Office, generates and provides education and training for health professionals and community health workers (CHW), also known as promotores de salud, with emphasis on chronic disease prevention, control, and management tailored to Border populations. The COE enhances and supports health promotion as a sustainable way of achieving lifestyle changes to prevent and reduce risk factors for chronic diseases as well as augment protective health factors. To this end, the COE develops, proposes, and promotes purposeful research and translates evidence into knowledge and practice to address the health needs and priorities of the Border communities.
The global health initiative of the COE was created to counter the growing chronic disease pandemic in the world, especially in developing countries. The PAHO/WHO U.S.-Mexico Border Office convened eight academic institutions and coordinated the elaboration of the project proposal submitted with the Pan American Health and Education Foundation (PAHEF) to OVATIONS in response to the call for proposals in 2007 for the purpose of creating a Center of Excellence on the U.S. - Mexico Border. The proposal was approved in 2008 and work on piloting an educational material called Camino a la Salud, an adaptation from Su Corazon Su Vida, began in 2009.
The COE is comprised of strategic Binational Border Teams with researchers, teachers, and students from the leading academic institutions on the Border, as well as primary health care personal and local health service providers, in each of three sites:
The Mexican Health Secretariat (SSA), health centers and clinics are members of the COE in the mexican border cities of Tijuana, Ciudad Juarez and Reynosa.
To be the major body of expertise, convener, facilitator, and catalyst in strengthening the evidence base and supporting the implementation of effective strategies ensuring that all the people on the border enjoy optimal health and well being for their families and communities.
To lead strategic collaborative efforts, foster and advocate for the implementation of policies and programs to effectively prevent chronic diseases and improve health and quality of life with the people on the US-Mexico border;
Develop and strengthen leadership among border health institutions, stakeholders, and communities;
The Objectives of the COE are:
Partners and teams
The PAHO/WHO U.S. - Mexico Border Office, the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California (UABC) in Tijuana, the Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juarez (UACJ), the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), the Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas (UAT) in Reynosa and the Texas A&M University School of Rural Public Health (TAMHSC-SRPH) signed the Memorandum of Understanding with the explicit purpose of creating a Center of Excellence for the Prevention of Chronic Diseases along the United States-Mexico border considering the importance of increased collaboration and sharing of information and experiences in the prevention and control of chronic diseases.
The Camino a la Salud Project
The PAHO/WHO U.S. - Mexico Border Office coordinates the implementation of various chronic disease prevention projects. The purpose of the operational research project is to pilot an educational intervention and document the effectiveness of implementing this Camino a la Salud family and community-based model delivered by Community Health Workers (CHW) in coordination between the Mexican Secretariat of Health (SSA) clinics and health centers and the Universities members of the COE in the United States Mexico border. The aim of this action research project is to reduce the burden of diabetes and complications among vulnerable persons with type 2 diabetes and prevent the risk of developing diabetes with adolescents and persons with pre-diabetes, as well as complications leading to cardiovascular disease and death. The objectives are to improve prevent the risk of chronic disease including improving the care of the persons with diabetes, ensure appropriate diabetic foot and eye care. Reducing acute and chronic complications as well as to increasing community outreach and early detection is a critical strategy to prevent the development of chronic disease, diabetes, especially among persons overweight, obese and with other risk factors. This demonstration project seeks to strengthen CHWs effectiveness to improve preventive, self-management behavior among persons with diabetes and pre-diabetes, as well as to decrease risk behaviors of family members of persons with diabetes and other persons with risk factors for diabetes and other chronic illness.

What did Apple's CEO really learn during those 12 years in the wilderness?
According to Randall Stross, who addressed the question in a guest article in the Sunday New York Times, what Steve Jobs learned from his mistakes at NeXT -- the company he founded in 1985 after he was stripped of his authority at Apple (AAPL) -- was to retain talent and to delegate.
"Almost every aspect of the [NeXT computer] — including the finish on interior screws — was his domain," Stross writes. "According to one [former colleague], while a delegation of visiting executives waited on the sidewalk, Mr. Jobs spent 20 minutes directing the landscaping crew on the exact placement of the sprinkler heads."
Jobs delegates plenty now, says Daring Fireball's John Gruber, who talked about Jobs' years in the wilderness in his keynote at Macworld 2010 last February (see YouTube video excerpt here and below the fold). Jobs doesn't write code or design iPhones.
"But I do think there is one product that Jobs designed himself, personally, and that's Apple, the company," Gruber said. "What I think he did in the aftermath was to sit back and figure out how a large company should be structured."
Specifically, Gruber suggests, Jobs may have figured out how to structure Apple Inc. so that it can survive and thrive when its co-founder is no longer around to run it.
But I believe there may be an even more pressing lesson that Jobs learned from Apple and NeXT, one that says as much about how he has managed Apple since his return in 1997 as his need to delegate, hold on to key employees and prepare for his succession.

GovPayNet allows major credit and debit cards for cash bail 24 hours a day, seven days a week at the jail, online at www.govpaynow.com or by phone at 877-EZBAIL5. Cardholders can make payments on their own behalf or on behalf of friends or family. They need only know some basic information about the arrestee and the bail amount. GovPayNet's dedicated, bilingual bail specialists are available around the clock for cardholders who require additional assistance.
Cardholders pay a fee to GovPayNet at the time of their transaction. There is no fee to the Washoe County Sheriff's Office for participation in the GovPayNet basic service, and enhanced participation also is available upon request. Improving the convenience of bail transactions with the sheriff's office means more frequent and timely payments. By expediting the legal release of arrestees, agencies can anticipate increased revenue and reduced expenses.
"This will help keep people who have been granted bail from spending a night or weekend in jail, when banks are closed or they don't have access to a lot of cash," said WCSO Assistant Sheriff Lisa Haney, who is head of the Detention Bureau, "and that will save taxpayers money and increase our agency's efficiency."
GovPayNet accepts major credit, debit and pre-paid debit card brands, such as MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover. The consumer pays the fee for using the service and on the next business day, GovPayNet reconciles the day's payment with the government office and then electronically forwards payment in full to the agency's bank account.
More than 1,400 agencies in more than 40 states use GovPayNet to process payments from nearly a million consumers annually. In 2010, GovPayNet processed more than $130 million in payments to government agencies. For more company information, visit the website at www.GovPayNet.com or call GovPayNet toll-free at 888-561-7888.

With the arrival of snow Tuesday, the extreme cold, dry spell of the last two weeks has been broken. Snow measuring seven to 12 inches fell throughout areas of Plumas County overnight.
A special train brought 350 snow sports enthusiasts to Portola from Sacramento Valley on Sunday.
During the past 12 months, in the year 1961, there were 246 babies born and only 122 deaths. In the year prior, 1960, there were 247 births and 134 deaths.
Last weeks storm which resulted in the interruption of traffic and electrical power on most parts of Plumas County dumped an average of five inches of snow. Once the weather cleared, temperatures dropped, ranging from 12 degrees below zero in Quincy and eight degrees below zero in Sierra Valley.
The Plumas County Board of Supervisors this week froze all special salary changes for county employees until an outside review of the salary grid has been completed. The freeze will not effect normal step increases earned by county workers.
An influenza epidemic that swept through Portola High School last week leaving 54 per cent of the student body home sick seems to be subsiding. With a total of 371 students enrolled in Portola High School, 200 were out sick on Friday.
In an effort to receive state grant money for the project, the Plumas County Board of Supervisors approved the Quincy skate park this week.
The Plumas County Board of Supervisors appointed former Plumas County supervisor Phillip Bresciani as interim manager of the Plumas County Fair, at $3,900 per month, the same salary as former manager Mike Clements.

- Key facts on the importance of forests
- Forests and biofuels
First generation liquid biofuels: Fluctuating oil prices and growing concerns about climate change have led to a renewed commitment to renewable energy – mainly from industrialised countries – aimed at expanding the production and use of first generation liquid biofuels from crops such as oil palm, sugarcane, soybean and jatropha for transportation usage. Many countries have now established targets for incorporating biofuels into the supply of transport fuel. For example, the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive (EU RED), adopted in 2009, mandates each member state to ensure that at least 10 percent of fuel consumed in its transport sector is derived from renewable sources – including biofuels – by 2020.1
Forests are both positively and negatively impacted by liquid biofuel expansion. Liquid biofuels have been promoted as a source of renewable energy that also makes contributions to energy security, rural development and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction when compared to fossil-derived fuels. However, because first generation biofuels are made from the sugars and vegetable oils found in arable crops, expansion of these feedstock crops can have negative impacts on forests due to direct and indirect land use change.2
Carbon debt: Land use change for biofuel crop plantations can have many environmental and social implications. A recent CIFOR study showed that if the full lifecycle of GHG emissions is taken into consideration, carbon emissions generated from land conversion for biofuel feedstocks may take years or even centuries to reverse through substitution of fossil fuels with biofuels.3 Furthermore, biofuel feedstock cultivation can lead to a loss of land rights and labour opportunities for local communities, as well as threats to food security, which have deleterious impacts on customary land users.
To combat these impacts, some markets such as the European Commission (EC) have established a set of sustainability criteria to which producers must comply for biofuels to contribute towards the 2020 target. In July 2011, the EC approved the first seven 'voluntary schemes', which may be used by biofuel feedstock producers and processors to certify that their operations are in compliance with the EU RED sustainability criteria. These address environmental criteria, but are yet to incorporate social sustainability components.4
Second-generation biofuels: As the global demand for energy increases in the future, different sources of forest biomass may play a vital role in providing a more stable energy future. Second generation biofuels are those made from woody crops, agricultural residues or waste, which makes it harder to extract the required fuel compared to those produced from arable crops. However, scientists believe the development of second generation bioenergy is on the horizon, though a product is not yet on the market.5 Like its first generation counterpart, second generation bioenergy may also pose pressures on the land system due to increased demand for dedicated bioenergy crops with potentially serious impacts on forests not classified as protected areas.6

This water oven is designed specifically to bring the gourmet sous vide cooking method to kitchen countertops. Enjoy steak made at the desired doneness from edge-to-edge; vibrant vegetables; juicy tender chicken breasts; and ribs with tender meat falling off the bone. The water oven's sophisticated temperature controller keeps the water bath within one degree of the ideal temperature for hours or even days, producing meals with enhanced flavours and nutritional benefits. Gourmet-quality meals are at your finger tips; simply season the raw meat or vegetables; vacuum seal in a food-grade bag (not included); simmer in the water oven, sear or sauce if desired, and serve. The unit comes with a detachable power cord, insulating lid blanket, base grill with handles, universal pouch rack, instructional DVD, a recipe book, and time and temperature charts.Size: 10 LColour/Pattern: Brushed stainless steelCapacity: 10 litres/2.6 gallons
Sous vide is an extremely effective method of cooking whereby food is vacuum-sealed in airtight pouches and submerged in a water bath at precisely controlled temperatures — often lower than those used in traditional ovens, but for a longer time. This technique is respected by gourmet chefs for its reliability and improved food quality. Sealing food in pouches keeps in the juices, nutrients, and aroma. In sous vide cooking, food is usually cooked at the same temperature it would be served at, the use of temperatures much lower than those used in conventional cooking results in much higher succulence. The exclusion of air in the cooking process also allows the cooked food to be stored, still sealed and refrigerated, for considerable times — food can be cooked months in advance and frozen then simply defrosted and seared to warm. Materials: Stainless steel exterior shell with brushed stainless finish and stainless steel interiorWarranty: One year limitedProduct of ChinaNOTE: Vacuum pouches are sold separately.

When it first appeared in 1898, this fourth novel by celebrated Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun captured instant acclaim for its poetic, psychologically intense portrayal of loves predicament in a class-bound society. Set in a coastal village of late nineteenth- century Norway, Victoria follows two doomed lovers through their thwarted lifelong romance. Johannes, the son of a miller, finds inspiration for his writing in his passionate devotion to Victoria, an impoverished aristocrat constrained by family loyalty. Separated by class barriers and social pressure, the fated pair parts ways, only to realizetoo latethe grave misfortune of their lost opportunity. Elegantly rendered in this brand-new translation by Sverre Lyngstad, Victorias haunting lyricism and emotional depth remain as timeless as ever.A powerful, even seductive text. (George Steiner)

Neuropathy is one of the most common complications of diabetes. Unless something is done to stop the trend, 50 percent of people with diabetes are predicted to develop neuropathy, or nerve damage, in their legs. Because there is a loss of protective sensation which signals pain, injuries can occur as a result. These neuropathy-related injuries can cause ulcers that lead to amputations for an estimated 54,000 patients every year in the United States.
Patients should be educated about neuropathy when they are diagnosed with diabetes and be tested for nerve damage one to four times a year to prevent amputation, according to George Deitrick, MD, vice president of medical affairs for Curative Health Services.
Curative Health Services manages a national network of more than 120 Wound Care Centers that treat diabetes-related complications. The centers provide routine neuropathy testing and patient education to prevent non-healing wounds and amputations related to diabetes. They treat wounds that haven't improved within four weeks or haven't totally healed within eight weeks. The new Rancocas Hospital Wound Center just opened in Willingboro, NJ.
According to Curative Health Services, the wound care centers track data on more than 75,000 patients, so its network has seen almost every type of wound.
The ADA estimates that diabetes-related amputation could be reduced by 50 percent if patients were routinely tested for neuropathy, fitted with appropriate footwear and educated to prevent injury or complications.
"Patients' awareness of the condition and active participation in their own care is as important with neuropathy as it is in their self-management of diabetes as a whole," says Deitrick .

Two words: Banh Xeo. These are Vietnamese crepes made with rice flour and coconut milk, and stuffed with bean sprouts, mushrooms, tofu and shrimp. These rolls leaves deliver a rich, oily coating to the inside of your mouth on the first bite, with the vegetable interior providing a bright contrast.
Favorite!! – The food here is wonderful. So good that I do not care about the poor service. It's worth it to me, to wait a few extra minutes for water b/c the food is so delicious. (even though my mouth is usually on fire!) The person that took me there the first time explained that the service was not the best so I wasn't expecting much. I recommend the Lemongrass Beef or the Shaken Beef. They have the best Imperial rolls as well.
the best bunh! – we love this place. you can't beat the value and the bunh is the best! we lived in chicago next to little vietnam and this place is better than any there. they have several vegetarian bunhs to choose from, i had one with black-eyed peas - YUM! i think i know what i'm having for dinner tonight!!
Don't Waste Your Time – I was a regular at this place before it started changing the portion sizes and raising the prices. Not to mention the fact that you have to ask for anything extra like sugar for your tea, hot sauce, etc. The place has become dirtier, just take a look at the ceiling and floor.
My most recent visit was for lunch with my daughter and toddler. It was a disaster. The order was totaling wrong, my meal then came and the toddler began sharing while waiting for the original order to be started. The only consolation was they did not charge for my meal after I returned it because it sat in front of me getting cold while waiting for my daughters order.
Service has gotten worse, and the food portions have changed. Don't waste your time here. There are better choices around town.
Good food......excellent taste!!! – Good restaurant. Very good food. Everytime I go the food tastes better n better!!!!
Need to improve service, not always do they lack but sometimes it is slow.
questionable cleanliness and bad service – My two recent experiences with this restaurant have been disappointing. During my most recent visit, the restaurant was full and I was told by the waitress to wait for a table that was about to leave. When that table was cleaned, the owner told me to wait for another table so she could seat a party that came in after I did. After I mentioned what the waitress had said, she informed me that she's the owner and that that her words trumped what the waitress had previously told me. This is not good customer service. On a prior occassion I found a piece of plastic wrap in my chicken noodle soup. I looked up the restaurant inspection scores on the city of Austin website. The restaurant scored 75 for its last inspection (70 is the minimum passing grade). The restaurant scored 59 at the end of 2006. I would not recommend this restaurant for its bad service and questionable cleanliness.
FRESH AND AUTHENTIC – Real fresh and authentic, good food, service was ok, not all that great but the food and prices made up for it. The location is great and there is always parking. The trays were they put the rice paper rolls need to be updated they are a horrible shade of pink and al broken
Love it! – Amazing food! From the look of the place, you would never guess the quality and freshness of the food would be top notch. The service is a bit slow, so just order their fantastic spring rolls and snack on those till the main dishes arrive. My only other complaint is that it is so far north. It's worth the drive though!
SAME EVERY TIME – I eat here at least once every 2 weeks for weekend lunch or weekday dinner. I have tryed almost there whole menu and everything is so good!!! Its a little hole in the wall and they really know how to make it fantastic everytime. Try the Vietnamese crepe for a appetizer followed by Seafood Claypot!!!!! MMMmmmm. I so think they should open another one or do away with that "game room" next door and expand the place. Hats off to Sunflower.
best Vietnamese food anywhere, hands down – I wouldn't worry about the 'lack of service' at this place. The food makes up for everything. It's run by a very busy woman, and she does nearly all the table-waiting and phone-answering etc.. so no, she does not hover over you making sure you're ok 10 times thoughout your meal. She's a very sweet lady who always, surprisingly, remembers my order. The curry tofu vermicelli is, simply put, the single best dish on the planet. No kidding. You have to try it. (It also comes in chicken, if you're not a tofu eater.) The other, competing place on Lamar which offers the same dish is nowhere NEAR as good as Sunflower's. My only complaint is in the way they spray windex on the tables to clean them, which I don't like happening right next to where I'm eating. (but I'm probably the only one who lets this bother me).. If only I could figure out the recipe to this coconut curry sauce the way Sunflower does it.!
Great vietnamese at reasonable prices; mediocre service – As previous reviewers have stated, the food here is great and the prices very reasonable but the service is mediocre. Its not bad -- they have never been in any way rude -- its just not as attentive or fast as some other restaurants. This doesnt bother me at all, but if slow or unattentive service really annoy you, this might not be your place. If, however, you are just looking for tasty and (I think) authentic Vietnamese food at a great price, I highly recommend this restaurant.

It's likely you're shopping for Xerox toner while using a Windows or Mac OS based computer. For the unfamiliar, the term GUI – short for Graphical User Interface – is used to describe the way Windows and Mac OS functions. It refers to their usage of visual representations, i.e. clicking on icons with a mouse, in the everyday functioning of a computer. In short, the term was coined to differentiate computers from the old days that relied on pure text for its commands. However, credit for the creation of the graphical user interface cannot be attributed to Microsoft or Apple. In reality, credit for the GUI is generally given to the Xerox Corporation, the company that pioneered the photocopier business. Well before Microsoft and Apple ascended to prominence, Xerox developed the first commercial personal computer, the Xerox Alto, which integrated the usage of a GUI and mouse.
As alluded to above, Xerox also developed the world's first plain paper photocopier, the Xerox 914, in 1959. Today, it is hard to imagine an office setting without a photocopier of some type. Xerox single handedly revolutionized the way documents are reproduced and ushered in the office of the future with the 914. In fact, the 914's place in history has been validated with its display in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution.
While it's unlikely that you currently own a Xerox 914, it's safe to say that you own one of their many contemporary devices. Today, their product lineup includes printing and publishing systems , digital presses and "book factories", laser and solid ink network printers, multifunction devices, fax machines, and of course, photocopiers. SuperMediaStore carries Xerox toner cartridges for many popular Xerox copy machines, Xerox fax machines, and Xerox laser printers. All of our Xerox toner, including OEM and Xerox compatible toner cartridges are of the highest quality and backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee !

Various defenses available in a criminal prosecution.
A plea bargain may not be in your favor. Let us help you evaluate all your legal options.
Talk to our firm for free! Our attorneys can offer you honest, practical advice during your initial consultation.
Hit and run accidents are the result of one party causing damage to another party's property or person and leaving the scene before producing the proper driver documentation. Hit and run charges can be prosecuted as a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the seriousness of the accident.
By state law, the driver of any motor vehicle that has been involved in an accident or collision, regardless of the level of seriousness or extent of injury, must stop, find the owner of the damaged property and produce his or her driver documentation. Failing to do so could result in criminal charges being filed for a hit and run offense.
Vehicle Code Section 20002 - When an accident results only in property damage (including motor vehicles), the driver must stop and locate owner or person in charge and exchange driver documentation. If owner of damaged property cannot be located, the driver is not permitted to leave the scene of the accident until the following actions have been completed:
Vehicle Code Sections 20001, 20003, and 20004 - Any accident that involves injury or death mandates the driver to perform all actions included in Section 20002 plus render reasonable assistance to the injured party or parties.
The best way to avoid a California Hit and Run charge is to stop after an accident or collision and immediately exchange your driver documentation. If the damaged property is unoccupied, leaving a visible note with your contact information and facts surrounding the case is acceptable. In all cases, the police must be notified.
Driver documentation includes:
Hit and run charges can be classified as misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the seriousness of the accident (injury or no injury), extent of damage, and defendant's past criminal record.
Penalties for a misdemeanor will range from no jail time (plus fines and restitution) to 180 days in county jail and, with more serious felony cases, time in state prison.
The attorneys at Stephen G. Rodriguez & Partners are experienced in defending hit and run cases. For first time offenders, our clients rarely serve jail time. In some cases, we work out an agreement with the victim, Judge, and District Attorney, called a "civil compromise", which results in a dismissal of the hit and run criminal proceedings.
Contact a Los Angeles hit and run attorney
at our office to discuss the facts that surround your hit and run case and learn about your legal options.
