For Those 60 Percent of Type 2 Patients Who Are Not in ControlPosted: Saturday, January 29, 2011
Consider a GLP-1 plus a long-acting insulin.
Adding one of the injectable GLP-1 compounds to the treatment regimen improves poor glycemic control in patients with uncontrolled diabetes, according to the results of a parallel, randomized, placebo-controlled trial reported online.
Michael Horowitz, MBBS, PhD, FRACP, professor of medicine at the University of Adelaide in Australia noted that, "The study adds to the rationale of using insulin in combination with a GLP-1 [glucagon-like peptide] analogue in Type 2 patients -- it is not surprising that efficacy is greater, given that their actions to lower glucose are highly complementary. "The critical issue is what should be used first, but if fiscal issues are ignored, a case could be made for the GLP-1 analogue to be used before insulin, particularly in older Type 2 patients who are already taking metformin, given that there is no real risk of hypoglycemia. The high prevalence of gastrointestinal adverse effects is a concern, which may potentially be less of an issue with other compounds."
The goal of this study, by John B. Buse, MD, PhD, from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine at Chapel Hill, and colleagues, was to determine whether twice-daily exenatide injections would reduce A1c levels to a greater extent than placebo in persons receiving insulin glargine. Inclusion criteria were adults with Type 2 diabetes and an HbA1c level of 7.1% to 10.5% who were receiving insulin glargine alone or combined with metformin, pioglitazone, or both.
This trial took place from October 2008 to January 2010 at 59 centers in 5 countries and was blocked and stratified by A1c level at site, with participants, investigators, and study personnel blinded to treatment allocation. By use of a central, computer-generated, random-sequence interactive voice response system, participants were randomly assigned to receive exenatide, 10 ěg twice daily, or placebo for 30 weeks.
The main study endpoint was change in A1c level, and secondary endpoints were the percentage of participants with A1c values of 7.0% or less and 6.5% or less, 7-point self-monitored glucose profiles, body weight, waist circumference, insulin dose, hypoglycemia, and adverse events.
"This study has assessed whether the use of the GLP-1 analogue, exenatide, has the capacity to improve glycemic control in Type 2 patients who have failed to achieve acceptable glycated hemoglobin levels despite the use of glargine insulin," Dr. Horowitz said. "This is an important issue given the increasing number of Type 2 patients who require insulin with its concomitant complications of hypoglycemia and weight gain."
The study was completed by 112 of 138 participants randomly assigned to exenatide and by 101 of 123 randomly assigned to placebo. In the exenatide group, the A1c level decreased by 1.74% vs. 1.04% in the placebo group. Weight change was a 1.8-kg loss in the exenatide group and a 1.0-kg gain in the placebo group. Average increases in insulin dosage were 13 U/day with exenatide and 20 U/day with placebo. Both groups had similar estimated rates of minor hypoglycemia.
"The outcome of the study indicates that the addition of exenatide to glargine results in a meaningful reduction in glycated hemoglobin of 0.69% which is attributable to a decrease in postprandial glucose excursions, rather than a reduction in preprandial glucose," Dr. Horowitz said. "The latter is to be expected given that exenatide has been shown to slow the rate of gastric emptying.... As has been reported in other studies using GLP-1 analogues, blood pressure decreased modestly."
Adverse events led to study discontinuation by 13 participants in the exenatide group and by 1 in the placebo group (P < .01). Compared with the placebo group, the exenatide group had higher rates of nausea (41% vs. 8%), diarrhea (18% vs. 8%), vomiting (18% vs. 4%), headache (14% vs. 4%), and constipation (10% vs. 2%).
"Limitations of the study are its multicenter nature -- 55 sites in 5 countries were required to recruit 261 subjects," Dr. Horowitz said. "Follow-up was for 30 weeks, which is reasonable, but not ideal. Importantly, there was a very high prevalence of gastrointestinal adverse effects in the exenatide group, despite initial titration of the dose, so that 18% withdrew from the study for this reason."
"The high prevalence of adverse effects, e.g. 41% of exenatide patients reported nausea, compared to 8% of those on placebo, may have also potentially compromised the blinding of the study," Dr. Horowitz explained. "Patients with a propensity for hypoglycemia were excluded from participating in this study, but there seems little reason to suspect that exenatide would increase this risk given that the stimulation of insulin and suppression of glucagon are known to be glucose-dependent.
"The outcomes of the study require confirmation with longer periods ofobservation and particular focus on the issue of hypoglycemia," Dr. Horowitz concluded. "There was substantial heterogeneity in the response, and it would be of interest to investigate potential mechanisms for this. For example, I suspect that the effect of exenatide to lower postprandial glucose will be greater in those patients in whom the rate of gastric emptying is relatively faster, and that in patients with gastroparesis (which occurs in up to 50% of patients with longstanding diabetes) glucose lowering will occur primarily as a result of the suppression of glucagon and stimulation of insulin."
At this time, the use of exenatide with insulin has not been approved by the FDA.

Mancini given selection dilemma
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini felt Edin Dzeko had given him an FA Cup final selection nudge by scoring his side's winner against West Brom.
The Bosnian struck against the Baggies for the third time this season to hand a much-changed City a 1-0 win from a surprisingly open Premier League contest at the Etihad Stadium.
The victory strengthened City's grip on second place in the table and also made mathematically certain of Champions League football next season.
Mancini had made eight changes with Saturday's Wembley date with Wigan in mind but Dzeko could have played himself into contention.
The Italian said: "Yes, could be. I am happy because he scored an important goal. With his goal we are in the Champions League and probably in second position. We have four days to recover from this game, so could be."
Dzeko's future has been the subject of speculation and Mancini feels the 27-year-old, who has now scored 14 times this season, can improve.
He said: "In the end he has scored important goals this season. I think he can do better. For me he is a top striker but he could score more goals.
"It is clear he didn't play all the games. I think he is one of the best in Europe for me but he can do better than this year."
Yaya Toure, Vincent Kompany, Pablo Zabaleta, Sergio Aguero and David Silva were among those players rested by Mancini.
Toure had been a fitness doubt after being withdrawn at half-time at Swansea last Saturday through fatigue but Mancini expects him to be fit for Wembley.
He said: "Yaya was at home to sleep. He had a problem, he was tired. Against Swansea he had a problem and we prefer he had a rest.
"We have four days and I need to see the players the next couple of days. I will take the last decision on Saturday.
"I thought this was a difficult game because we changed a lot of players.
"We needed fresh players for this game and in the end it is important that we won."
City hit the woodwork through Carlos Tevez and James Milner while Jack Rodwell had a number of good chances.
But West Brom created several good opportunities themselves and hit the bar through Markus Rosenberg.
Baggies boss Steve Clarke said: "We didn't have too much time to prepare for the game but thew way the players applied themselves was excellent.
"We played well and were unlucky not to get something.
"We had chances, Joe Hart made his usual number of good saves.
"Markus hit a free-kick against the crossbar and we were a bit wasteful at times.
"But when you come to these places you have to be on top of your game all the time.
"I felt in the first half we had a spell where we lost our way a little bit, we lost momentum, we made a few mistakes and encouraged them into the game.
"When you encourage a team like Manchester City into the game they will punish you, and that is what they did."
One controversial incident saw City's Aleksandar Kolarov catch Gabriel Tamas on the head with a high boot but Clarke did not complain.
He said: "My impression at the time was Kolarov was high but Gabby also stooped his head.
"He has got a nasty cut on the back of his head but I wouldn't be shouting it was a red card without seeing it again."

Logitech's first foray into a keyboard for the PlayStation 3 was an OK effort. The silver keyboard, while marketed for the Sony console, used RF technology instead of being a native Bluetooth keyboard. Well, Logitech's second effort takes care of this and adds a few more wrinkles as the Logitech Cordless MediaBoard Pro looks to fix a few things they missed in the first time around.
From the onset, you can see the black keyboard matches the console much better than the silver of their first PS3 keyboard. It's a sleek low profile keyboard with a very reflective black finish. In fact, I was surprised at how thin the keyboard actually was. You can easily stow this away in an entertainment center or slide it underneath a couch. If you do plan on putting it on a surface, there's two keyboard riser tabs that fold out to tilt the keyboard a little bit.
A full QWERTY keyboard highlights the setup. If you're use to laptop keyboards, the Cordless MediaBoard Pro will feel right at home as the keys are designed similarly with a short but adequate stroke. Some of the keys are also marked with their PlayStation controller mapping. A nice touch is the Enter key pertains to the X key which is what is used on the controller as the primary selection button. On the bottom left between the CTRL and ALT are two buttons that are mapped to the left and right mouse button. On the upper left of the keyboard are media buttons that will let you control your PlayStation 3 when viewing or listening to any digital media.
At the top at the keyboard are a few media centric buttons. One button will pull up the general menu where you can control a lot of the PS3's media playback functionality. A fast forward, pause/play, and a rewind button lets you control some of how the media is played back. Finally, a BD menu button will bring up the menu that's specific for the movie. While they are nice to have I did run into a problem. Some Blu Ray movies won't let you use the FF, RW, and play button. I popped in Ratatouille and could only get the menu and BD menu button to work as I pressing pause, rewind, or fast forward buttons didn't do a thing. Other movies I tried work so it'll be trial and error on which movies will allow you to use those buttons. There's no easy way to skip to the next track either with the buttons as the fast forward and rewind buttons only change the speed. I would've liked the ability to skip tracks though perhaps by holding down the FF orRW buttons. Unfortunately, you're limited in how you want to navigate when playing a movie or a CD.
With browsing ability and the mouse like control style of the PlayStation the MediaBoard Pro features a touchpad on the right side. Like most touchpads on laptops, there's also the ability to scroll vertically if you place your finger on the right side. The inclusion of the touchpad makes for moving around the web page or PlayStation Store a lot easier than if you were using the gamepad. I'm not a big fan of touchpads myself as I prefer the mouse nubs found on a lot of laptops but the touchpad on the MediaBoard Pro does do it's job. I had no problems using it to move the cursor around in the web browser and the PlayStation Store with it. A note on the touchpad is that it is a little small so you might hit the edges a lot.
Two buttons that I think should have been included are the the Start button and a PS button. Without the PS button, you can't start your console with the keyboard which is something I would've liked to have the ability to do. The start button could have saved a few steps in initiating downloads as you have to move your cursor over with the keyboard instead of just pressing the Start button like with a controller. A few others that would've been nice are the L and R buttons. Having L and R buttons would've allowed the setup to skip chapters in media so I'm surprised that they were omitted from the setup.
Two AA batteries included with the setup provides power to the peripheral. You can expect around 200 hours of usage out of the two batteries which is pretty good. They slide in at the upper part on the bottom of the keyboard. You'll have to turn on the keyboard manually by sliding a switch and there's a battery light that turns on periodically to let you know the keyboard is powered.
Pairing the keyboard with the PlayStation 3 was pretty simple. Since this is a Bluetooth keyboard, no dongle is needed. In the XMB you navigate to the setup area and initiate a pairing of the device. A numeric key will pop up on the screen that you have to repeat with the keyboard. After entering in the required digits, the MediaBoard Pro was good to go and I was navigating with it through the PlayStation 3 interface easily. I didn't notice any lag and the keyboard was operational a few seconds after the PlayStation 3 showed the XMB when turned on.
If you so desire, you can even pair the keyboard with a computer that's equipped with Bluetooth making it compatible with other devices. I tried pairing it with my Sprint Mogul phone but wasn't able to get past the key entering stage. Pairing the keyboard up with my Windows XP machine worked fine and I was typing away after a quick pairing process. Everything worked except for the media buttons and of course you're missing the Windows key in this setup. I used the keyboard for a day as my main keyboard and was pretty comfortable in typing since I was used to a laptop like keyboard already. For those that install Linux on the PlayStation 3, this will be a nice little keyboard to use with.
The Logitech Cordless MediaBoard Pro will serve you well if you are looking for a keyboard to enter in text easier and want one that's branded to match the console. It's got good range, great battery life, and a good feel. Some might not like the extreme thinness of the Cordless MediaBoard Pro but I like the physical nature of the keyboard. It's easy to setup with the PlayStation 3 and is a native Bluetooth product unlike Logitech's first PlayStation 3 branded keyboard. There are missing keys that I think should have made it on there but it's not a deal breaker. It is a little expensive at $80 but overall the MediaBoard Pro will suite the needs of PS3 folks needing a wireless keyboard and mouse combination.

After a previous post about boosting productivity by allowing employees to surf Facebook (I'm sure you're delighted to have me bring that point up again), I want to clarify exactly what I believe is a productivity booster and what is not. Some companies advocate naps at work (a few heavily creative jobs really do necessitate this) and others ban personal Internet surfing (which I really don't think is entirely all good) and so I'd like to come into this discussion again squarely in the middle.
Canada.com recently cited a study that indicates allowing people to goof off at work (surfing the Internet) boosts morale and productivity.
"[A] new study by a U.K. research group might help boost the Internet's image. It found that taking short breaks to surf the Internet at work might actually be beneficial to an employee's productivity.
Conducted by MindLab International, the study involved European women from seven different countries who were asked to complete computer-based intelligence tests designed to induce stress. They were then offered a 10-minute break in which they could surf the Internet freely before returning to further testing. Stress levels and productivity were monitored throughout and the researchers found that the break resulted in both a reduction in stress and an increase in productivity."
On the other hand, some companies struggle with workers goofing off by gossiping and stirring up trouble among fellow employees. That is not my idea of boosting morale.
AfricanPath.com, a site geared to reporting news of and by Africans around the world talks about the problem of gossip in the workplace and I really liked blogger Kwaku Adu-Gyamfi's June 26, 2008 checklist on the subject.
"Do you:
"'It used to be that employee turnover was considered solely an HR problem, but now top executives are beginning to see the far-reaching impact of turnover and its implications,' explains Craig Taylor, VP of Client Services for TalentKeepers and senior research author of the 2008 Employee Turnover Trends report. 'It starts a domino effect that will eventually touch all aspects of an organization. The key is to stop the chain reaction by implementing tactical retention strategies before the last domino falls.'"
Is allowing goof off time a tactical retention strategy? According to many employed workers, the rigidness of an employer is also a measure of their willingness to stick around for the long term. I think every employer must ultimately make the call about goof-off time that best suits their particular needs. But I urge moderation. Polling employees about their preferences and discussing these issues openly is the best next action for companies seeking a definitive policy.

Follow these steps in developing the type of world-class document and process that provides real value throughout your operations.
If you want to change your current maintenance reality, you must begin with the basics. One of the cornerstones of a successful maintenance effort is the precise execution of thoughtful, well-written preventive maintenance (PM) procedures. There are several steps that must be followed to ensure that these procedures are as effective as possible.
Step #1: Assessment The first step in the development of an effective PM procedure is to determine the condition of the machine or machine center. You have to know where you are before you can decide where you want to go and how you intend to get there. If the machine is newer equipment, this evaluation should be fairly straightforward. If, however, you are dealing with equipment that has been in service for a period of time or has a history of unreliability, this assessment could be quite a lengthy undertaking. Still, it's time to invest if you want to leave reactive maintenance behind.
The assessment portion of the project should begin with a thorough cleaning of the machine. Having a clean machine will make the remainder of the assessment process easier to complete. Just as importantly, the machine should be evaluated as it is being cleaned to determine if there are any cleanliness issues that may be leading to or masking failures. Examples of these conditions include build-up or residue on electric motors, excess grease on bearings or other moving parts, oil residue on or below components, damp hoses and accumulated residues that might be indicating or hiding deeper problems. Any discoveries of this nature should be noted so they aren't overlooked when the PM is written. Machine maintenance is a field that revolves around surprisingly few basics—one of these is that a clean machine runs better and longer.
The work team for the assessment portion of the project should be made up of both Maintenance and Production personnel. These are the people who operate and maintain the machine. They are your experts, and that fact alone should be motivation enough to involve them in the PM development process. The issue of "ownership" is another important reason to include these people. If your hourly professionals are involved in the development of the PM at every step of the process, they will have a vested interest in the success of the finished product. After the cleaning is completed, the next step of the process is to conduct a comprehensive mechanical and electrical assessment. In this portion of the exercise, you are looking for what is going right, as well as for what is going wrong.
During this mechanical assessment, notations should be made of any condition that is found to be out of spec—whether you intend to repair it or not. This is also the time to update your bill of material for the machine. Think of these variances as messages from the machine about potential trouble areas. The machine is telling you where your maintenance procedures are adequate and where they are not.
Step #2: Documentation and analysis Once the assessment is complete, you will again need both Maintenance and Production personnel to proceed to the next step. You also will need the maintenance records of the machine, including any documentation on breakdowns or failures. If formal documentation of prior reliability issues is not available, you may need to rely on anecdotal evidence or employee memory. Additionally, you will need all owner's manuals, drawings and installation documentation.
Once you have gathered the necessary team members and documentation, the task before you is to make a written list of every known machine failure that has occurred in the past, as well as every possible failure that the team can envision occurring in the future. Do not forget to include the potential failures that you discovered during the mechanical and electrical assessments of the machine. If these conditions had gone undiscovered, would they have eventually caused machine failure? This exercise is the first phase of a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)—and, perhaps, the most crucial part of the PM development process.
Conducting the FMEA can be a daunting task. Don't let it scare you. Just remember that the idea is to try to document what has gone or can go wrong with a machine so that you can put a procedure in place to prevent it from happening again. (A good website to visit on the subject of FMEA development is http://www.isixsigma. com/tt/fmea/) There also are some common-sense tips that can help.
Incidentally, a failure should be defined as any time that a machine: (1) ceases to do whatever it was designed to do; (2) when you want it to do it; (3) at the rate you desire; (4) at the quality specification you require. This is a very important concept. If a machine has been designed to stamp 500 holes per hour and it can only manage 480 holes per hour, the machine is in failure mode—despite the fact that it is still running and producing product. Likewise, if the machine is managing to stamp 500 holes per hour, but 100 of them are in the wrong place, it is exhibiting a sign of failure.
Step #3: Writing your procedures
Once your FMEA is completed, it's time for the PM procedures to be written. A good place to begin is by reviewing the owner's manual and the supporting documents that were provided by the manufacturer when the machine was purchased. You want familiarize yourself with the functions the manufacturer suggests conducting and when. This is especially true if the equipment is a new and just being brought online. If that's the case, following the manufacturer's suggested procedures should keep you out of trouble until you develop some machine history of your own to evaluate. Keep in mind that the PM procedures and intervals suggested by an OEM are not in and of themselves the road to machine reliability. Each machine and machine installation is unique—and, manufacturers typically have not operated their products in real-world plant environments before supplying them to you. Most importantly, they have not operated them in your plant, with your personnel, at your rates of production. Thus, your reality will differ greatly from the manual. Through your evaluations and research, you have identified many potential failures that must be guarded against and many repetitive tasks that must be performed. Now you must decide the most effective schedule to complete the tasks.
In most cases, there will be a daily perfunctory or runtime inspection, a weekly mid-level inspection, a monthly major PM, as well as a series of regularly-scheduled procedures that will deal with overhauls, major replacements of wear parts, mandated inspections and the like. Regardless of the CMMS system that you have—or even if you do not have one—remember the following points when writing your PM procedures:
Getting where you want to go If you follow these steps detailed here, you will be on your way to a betterperforming and less-reactive process. Remember, however, that a written PM procedure is a living document. It will change over time based on the machine's performance and the millwright's inputs. While you may not get it exactly right the on the first cut, over time, a well-written PM procedure can evolve into a world-class document and process—one that will have transferability and application to the other machines in your operations.

Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-62 Engine Chosen for Argentine Airforce Pucara Aircraft Powerplant Upgrade Program
PT6A-62 engine has been selected by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) for the powerplant upgrade of the twin-engine Pucara aircraft program for the Argentine Air Force.
LONGUEUIL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Nov. 1, 2011) - Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) announced today that its PT6A-62 engine has been selected by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) for the powerplant upgrade of the twin-engine Pucara aircraft program for the Argentine Air Force. P&WC is a United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX) company.
Manufactured in the 1970s and 1980s by Fabrica Militar de Aviones (a predecessor company to FAdeA), the Pucara is a counter-insurgency (COIN) aircraft. The Argentine military currently has approximately 30 of the Pucara aircraft in service.
"The PT6A-62 is the only off-the-shelf engine that is able to meet the stringent requirements of FAdeA," said Michael Perodeau, vice president, corporate aviation and military programs, P&WC. "With the PT6A-62's proven performance and reliability and its aerobatic capability and electronic engine control, the engine upgrades can take place quickly and with less program risk for FAdeA, which were important considerations for the Argentine military."
"FAdeA is confident in the choice and we believe this announcement will ensure our program's success," stated Emilio Maligno, business development manager, FAdeA. "P&WC paid close attention to our needs and the PT6A-62 engine fulfils all requirements of maintainability, reliability and availability; key features for our customers."
"PT6 engines are used by 7,000 operators around the globe and stand as a testament to how P&WC reinvents its products to meet emerging customer needs," said Perodeau. "Although other engine OEMs have tried, none have come close to matching the versatility and reliability of the PT6. We have consistently taken advantage of aerodynamic and material technology advancements to enhance the performance of the PT6 without significantly increasing its size."
There are currently some 27,000 PT6 engines in operation today and it has booked a remarkable 350 million hours of flight. From flying in the Antarctic at 75 degrees below zero to supporting environmental efforts in reforestation programs, the adaptability of the PT6 engine continues to earn the respect and loyalty of pilots worldwide.

1. When consigning your items - make sure they are from a smoke free environment, gently used, clean and pressed. Preferably dry cleaned and make sure that all buttons & zippers are attached. 2. If consigning higher-end items such as purses, wallets, shoes or jewelry - keep original receipts, tags and authenticity cards with these items. It makes the authenticating process easier, and it ensures the potential purchaser that they are purchasing the real deal. 3. Let your consignment shop know if items have been altered, it should not be a problem, it's just good to inform customers & encourage them to try on items. 4. Whomever you chose to consign with should send you an itemized list of your items, with how they will price your items and what will be your cut. Standard is 50/50 or 60/40 5. Typically after 90 days if your items don't sell most places donate clothing to charity, make sure you are aware of this and agree to the terms. 6. Sometimes there is a minimum number of items you can consign for first time consigners, call ahead to confirm. 7. Convenience is key! Do find a consignment shop that wants to make your life a little easier...for example offering in home pickup service, styling consultations, and mailing out payments monthly. 8. Things to expect - Expect for your items to sell for about 40-60% of the retail price depending on the wear. Beware of places that don't charge enough for you items. You do have a right to reject the way your items are being priced. 9. Make it a habit of getting rid of what you are not using on a quarterly basis, once you make some money from the items you consigned, you can put it towards some new items that you will use. Out with the old and in with the new!

WASAGA BEACH – A pre-trial for Dov Levy has been scheduled for Feb. 4.
It is looking like it could last four to five days.
The provincial crown stated in a Collingwood courtroom Tuesday that a crown resolution meeting with Levy's lawyer has yet to take place. It is to be scheduled by Jan. 23, giving the Crown enough time to decide how much time is needed for the pre-trial.
"There are a lot of matters to go over," said the Crown attorney.
Levy, 42, of Thornhill, is charged with theft over $5,000 and fraud over $5,000.
The bankrupt developer of Wasaga's main beach, was arrested on August 7.
He is charged with theft over $5,000 and fraud over $5,000 relating to the misappropriation of insurance money paid out after the fire that razed Main Street in Wasaga Beach on Nov. 30, 2007.
The insurance settlement, according to police, was in excess of $1.2-million.
The charges are the result of a yearlong investigation involving the OPP Crime Unit from Huronia West detachment, Collingwood and The Blue Mountains.

Nothing like killing two birds with one stone: Joe Johnston drew this concept sketch to go with early drafts of Revenge of the Jedi. But it also illustrates something from the very first draft of Star Wars, which George wrote back in 1974. In the "Revenge" scripts, Princess Leia has various run-ins with some vaguely described "Imperial trackers," who are also causing problems with the Ewoks and Yussem. Given that Johnston has added forearm guards and a head mask, it's possible that George Lucas had already envisioned these Imperials seated on rocket bikes (later, speeder bikes). They also had "T-bombs" and a garland of (Ewok? Yussem?) teeth.

Viva Space Vegas! The History of the Marvelous Wheel, Part 1
The mere mention of its name conjures images of luxury. Lights. Excess. And sin.
And money. Money by the starshipful.
In a galaxy spanning millions of systems, where corruption and dark ambitions run rampant, the depravities one might wish to sample are as limitless as space itself. From spice addiction and forbidden knowledge to indulgences of the flesh of any number of species — if there's a demand for something, then someone, somewhere, can supply it.
Among such varied vices, one constant throughout the galaxy is the love of gambling. Whether at Nar Shaddaa's sabacc tables, Umgul's blobstacle course, Coruscant's garbage pit races or Vorzyd V's Cosmic Chance boards, there is no end to the number of credits one can win — or lose — pursuing instant wealth. But of all the popular gambling havens, few have attained the notoriety of the Wheel. Its reputation for debauchery unparalleled, its gladiatorial arenas the stuff of legend, the Wheel is known far and wide as the place to go for those looking to risk it all….

Star Wars: Empire and Rebellion – Razor's Edge and the Perfectly Imperfect Princess
Today marks the release of the new novel Star Wars: Empire and Rebellion — Razor's Edge, which headlines Princess Leia in a story set between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. Like last month's Star Wars: Kenobi, the stakes are more personal for the main characters, and Razor's Edge takes a deep dive into the motivations that drive the Rebel leader. In an interview at Hollywood.com, author Martha Wells talked about her approach to the character: "I think the key is not just seeing Leia as a stereotypical strong woman character, but as someone who is young but is a leader, who has taken on huge responsibilities, but also as someone who has an epic temper and can be sarcastic, and can make mistakes. She's not a perfect princess, she's a person with flaws and vulnerabilities who manages to do what she needs to do anyway, and I think those things were conveyed in Carrie Fisher's performance."

CARSON CITY (AP) — The Nevada Department of Agriculture said a sick horse from Lyon County has tested positive for West Nile virus.
Agency officials tell the Gardnerville Record-Courier that the tests show it's important for horse owners to vaccinate their animals to protect them from the sometimes deadly mosquito-borne illness.
Mosquito surveillance pools from Lyon, Churchill and Clark counties have shown positive results for West Nile virus that also can sicken people.
There is no human vaccine, however.
Health officials urge people to avoid mosquito-infested areas, remove sources of standing water, and to wear pants and long sleeves when outdoors at dusk and dawn, when the insects are most active.

Monsters University
Description: Ever since college-bound Mike Wazowski was a little monster, he has dreamed of becoming a Scarer-and he knows better than anyone that the best Scarers come from Monsters University (MU). But during his first semester at MU, Mike's plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan, "Sulley", a natural-born Scarer. The pair's out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University's elite Scare Program. To make matters worse, they realize they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right.

I always preferred TBOs approach in 2008 when she ran 100s and 200s and came into Beijing as a bit of an enigma. Firstly it means she's focused and practiced on speed and secondly it leaves the other women guessing. When she competes on the circuit she shows her hand and the other women know they can beat her. But when she doesn't run 400s they will be wondering about her.
SRR has had a long time at the top of elite 400m running going back to 2004 and that is unusual at that distance. She has to be in the wane soon but she probably still has a couple of years at the top. In the last 2 Olympics and 3 world champs TBO has 2 golds and a silver and SRR has 2 golds and a bronze so they have dominated the big meets between them.
You would think that being in Moscow one of the Russian women has to be a potential gold medalist but there will also be the defending champ in Montsho, a more relaxed SRR with no demons and a focused TBO in what could be her last season.

It's now been one month since the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan and left the island nation forever changed.
The ongoing suffering of the people and animals in Japan after the 9.0 magnitude great earthquake, thirty-seven foot tsunami, and explosive atomic disaster at Fukushima's Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, have not left my heart and mind since that ominous day of March 11, 2011. It is unlikely that even Hollywood with it's ultimate disaster movies could have considered such a terrible fate for those living in Japan.
❀ ❀ ❀
What are we who are not there on the ground, who have contributed financially to a charity but want to do more, left to do? We can pray for Japan. His Holiness the Dalai Lama stated it would be very good if Japanese Buddhists were to recite the Heart Sutra on this occasion and that it may not only be helpful for those who have lost their precious lives, but may also help prevent further disasters in the future. In addition there, are four other Tibetan Buddhist prayers that would be most beneficial to recite for the people of Japan. They are: PrayerToAvertNuclearWar; Sampa Nyur Drupma; Sa Chu Me Lung; and Green Tara Terma.
❀ ❀ ❀
I can only imagine what it must be like to experience that sudden jolt of life altering events that left the world of those living in Japan forever changed. Over 12,000 people died in the quake and tsunami that followed and there are estimates that another 14,000 are missing and presumed dead. But accounting for the missing hasn't truly been addressed because the buildings housing local government resident records were crushed, then washed away by wave after pounding wave. Half a million people are now homeless from the natural and man-made disaster. Those who have returned home and some who stayed indoors in the evacuation zones are facing starvation as getting food to the isolated areas has proved difficult.
Before the twin disasters Japan already imported 60% of it's food and is the world's largest importer of corn. So many people living in Japan are going through an incredible amount of hardship, struggling with scarce food, water, and electricity. (The Tokyo region, powered by Fukushima, Daiichi is expected to face rolling blackouts throughout the summer, but it could actually go on for years.)
Over 10,000 cows and other livestock are dead after they were abandoned in the fields, barns, and pens, by their owners who fled the radioactive contaminated air, land, and water, near Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant.
And untold numbers of pet dogs, cats, birds, rabbits have been left behind to fend for themselves when evacuees were told 'no pets allowed.'
With all six of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plants in peril because TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company) has been unable to keep water circulating into the containment tanks of radioactive spent fuel rods that are cracked, the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) calls the situation there "very serious" and 16 of Japan's top nuclear experts say there is "no reason to be optimistic" about the grave conditions. A few nuclear scientists say even a hydrogen explosion, similar to a bomb, could happen there, spreading even more radioactive contaminants into the jet stream.
An executive of AREVA, a French company touted as being a leader in atomic energy and who has written a report about the Fukushima Daiichi plant problems after the quake and tsunami has gone so far as to say that "Clearly we are witnessing one of the greatest disasters in modern time."
An end to the nuclear crisis in Japan is decades away and will cost several billions of dollars. The environmental damage done to the country of Japan and the ocean surrounding it is tragic and unfathomable. Two and a half tons of water is being pumped into the plant each day. That water is dissolving into steam, flowing into the sea, and onto the earth. It's filled with radioactive elements.
Some nuclear scientists have right now declared one-third of Japan uninhabitable because of the radioactive contamination, and also say that those countries around the world who are touched by Japan's jet stream will suffer and increase in illnesses and cancer.
Besides the ongoing nuclear crisis is Fukushima, Japan is home to ten percent of the world's volcanoes. Japan is the location of four tectonic plates: the Pacific; Philippine; Eurasian; and North American and the 9.0 earthquake on March 11, 2011 awakened 20 of the countries volcanoes. Japan's Meteorological Agency has warned that the people should maintain vigilance against this tendency.
❀ ❀ ❀
With much of Japan still in crisis mode, this is a frightening and especially perilous time for the people there, filled with much sadness and a lot of fear for those who lived through it. I knew that reciting Tibetan Buddhist mantras for every person and animal living there would be helpful, and just two weeks after the events in Japan I had the good fortune to interview Lama Tharchin Rinpoche about these things. Rinpoche is a Dzogchen (Great Perfection) master of Vajrayana Buddhism who was trained in His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche's monastery, engaged in five years of solitary retreat, and then completed the three year retreat with three others under Dudjom Rinpoche. Lama Tharchin Rinpoche's main teachers have been Dudjom Rinpoche, Chatral Rinpoche, Lama Sherab Dorje Rinpoche, and Dungse Thinley Norbu Rinpoche.
Rinpoche did advise me that the most beneficial prayers for Japan are posted on his website, Vajrayana Foundation. For your convenience I have also listed them here with a brief explanation:
PrayerToAvertNuclearWar – Rinpoche told me that this is an excellent prayer to help with the atomic destruction that is going on now in Japan. It does not matter if the radiation was released because of a war. It matters that it is atomic and it is of arrogant making by ignorant humans who believed they were infallible.
Sampa Nyur Drupma – 'The Prayer that Swiftly Fulfills all Wishes' is a treasure composed by Guru Rinpoche and reavealed by the omniscient Longchenpa and Rigdzin Jigme Lingpa.
Sa Chu Me Lung – A prayer to Guru Rinpoche and his retinue of the four elemental dakinis to remove all obstacles caused by the four elements of fire, earth, water and wind. (The elements have turned negative against us because of our negative thinking)
Green Tara Terma – Green Tara is a savioress who represents compassion in action, she who can give aid from material threats, one of them being floods, like a tsunami.

Each year, nearly a billion people are left traumatized by war, natural disasters and gender and ethnic oppression and violence around the globe. This new MA in Counseling Psychology and Global Mental Health is designed to prepare students for careers caring for traumatized people and communities in the US and abroad.
This two-year, 60 credit course, which can also be completed in three years part-time, is the first program of its kind in New England, and one of only a few nationwide, that will help students meet requirements for licensure as a mental health counselor.
Our distinguished faculty, who have worked with distressed communities and individuals in the US and globally, will immerse students in the skills, knowledge, and professional ethics of this field. Their holistic approach will prepare students to screen, evaluate, diagnose, and treat traumatized patients; assess treatment outcomes; administer health promotion programs, and integrate and use telemedicine and health information technology.
With a degree in Counseling Psychology and Global Mental Health, students will be ready for positions in health and mental health clinics, non-governmental humanitarian organizations, and in US government and UN
Who should apply? This program is for health and mental health workers, humanitarian and human rights workers, community health clinic workers, and individuals with a BA/BS or higher degree.
"This degree will be a license to do idealistic work and get paid for it. I call it employable idealism," says Dr. Richard Mollica, MSPP Global Mental Health Program senior faculty, pioneer in global mental health and Director of the Harvard Program in Refugee Trauma. According to first-year Global Mental Health Student John Meigs, "The unique perspective of this program has already influenced how I approach working with substance users in the Boston area. I think this program will set me up to be a more informed and more effective clinician wherever I end up, whether it's in a refugee camp or an office in Cambridge..., or both."

This gussied-up chain bustles with singles and families craving Chinese food favorites. – In Short
Towering twin stallions and carved wood screens add majesty and mystery to this stylish restaurant, where well-dressed patrons sip martinis at the bar and families with children feast around large tables or in spacious booths. The menu gives Chinese classics a contemporary tweak; dishes are artfully presented, with many sauces made tableside by servers. Signature plates include diced chicken wrapped in cool lettuce leaves, orange-peel beef with chili peppers, and wok-fried scallops with lemon sauce.

If you find Firestones made in the USA, have they changed much over the years? I am curious as I have one almost unused USA Firestone on one side and one "who knows what" on the other and would like to try to better match the rear tires. Thanks, Lee

1201 E Main St, Richmond, VA | Directions 2321937.536637 -77.433812
Neighborhoods: Shockoe Slip
Downtown--or Richmond's?--best pizza by the slice – If you know what real New York pizza is like, this is it! Perfect crust, light topping, right combination of richness and sweetness.
Everything Tastes Good – I used to work several doors down from Jo-Jos, but now that I work 15 minutes away I still make the trip sometimes to have lunch there. The pizzas are amazing and their steak and cheese sub---- YUMMMM!!!!
Very ma and pa establishment. The owner still recognizes me when I come in.
You've Got To Try It! – Best Pizza place in town!! Great Strombolis and they have the BEST steak & cheese. Lines are pretty long but they move at a decent speed! You've got to try it! Prices are very reasonable.
The best Pizza in Richmond! – The best Pizza in Richmond Va. hands down! Real NY Style and reasonable prices to boot.That pretty much sums it up.If you ever get a change to eat it,dont miss it!
It's the BEST in TOWN! – I love pizza and to be honest with everyone readiing this review Jo Jo's is the best I have found anywhere in the U.S.
I travel for a living and I have tasted pizzas all over the States. Jo Jo's is a simple place but the friendly owner makes everyone feel right at home and always has a friendly smile and kind words for everyone.
My favorite pizza at this eating establishment is the "Feta Spinach Pizza." It is not unusual for me to order several slices of this mouth watering pizza. I have tried several of Jo Jo's subs but I keep going back to my favorite pizza.
If you love pizza you'll love this restaurant. In a world of McDonalds and Pizza Huts the fresh ingredients that are used at Jo Jo's make these pizza tasty and suprisingly well priced.
Um..its a lunchtime pizza joint – Interesting reviews by the other customers. Its NY pizza at lunch. There is no ambience. Its a pizza joint for crying out loud.
Editorial Review – The line curls out the door at lunchtime, but downtowners pile in for heavenly NY slices at this little shop.
Back in Brooklyn – This is TRUE pizza, New York City pizzeria pizza. And it is the best in Richmond. Wonderful flavor, herbs and just the right amount of olive oil!
Try it you'll like guaranteed!
Straight from Brooklyn – This is an excellent yet inexpensive lunch spot. The pizza is by far the closest thing in Richmond to New York Style. If you are downtown, grab two slices and a drink -- cheap. ****
A Slice of NY Heaven – Jo Jo's has the best pizza, service and prices. Each slice that you order is heated up nice and hot. The people that work there are freindly and will go out of their way to make you happy.
