This response is important clinically, since it allows measurement of urinary potassium excretion to distinguish between extrarenal and renal losses as the cause of otherwise unexplained hypokalemia. Potassium excretion should be less than 25 meq/day with extrarenal losses (or with diuretic therapy if the effect of the drug has worn off) . In comparison, a higher value indicates at least some component of renal potassium wasting as might be seen with diuretic therapy, one of the forms of primary hyperaldosteronism (including Bartter's syndrome), or during the bicarbonaturic phase in a patient with vomiting.
The following renal abnormalities, most of which are reversible with potassium repletion, can be induced by hypokalemia .
Impaired urinary concentration — Nocturia, polyuria, and polydipsia all may be seen with chronic hypokalemia (plasma potassium concentration usually ≤3.0 meq/L) . These symptoms appear to be due primarily to diminished urinary concentrating ability, although studies in animals suggest that there may also be a primary stimulus to thirst. The renal defect, which occurs gradually over several weeks, is associated with decreased collecting tubule responsiveness to antidiuretic hormone. How this occurs is incompletely understood, but decreased expression of aquaporin-2, the water channel that fuses with the luminal membrane under the influence of ADH, may play at least a contributory role
Increased renal ammonia production — Hypokalemia increases the tubular production of ammonia and ammonium, which then enter both the tubular lumen and the peritubular capillary . This effect may be related to a transcellular cation exchange: potassium moves out of the cells to partially replete the extracellular stores, with electroneutrality being maintained by the entry of hydrogen and sodium into the cells. The ensuing intracellular acidosis can then stimulate hydrogen secretion and the production of ammonia from glutamine, a process that is similar to that thought to be responsible for the appropriate increase in ammonium excretion in metabolic acidosis . The associated increase in ammonia entry into the renal vein may be clinically important in patients with advanced cirrhosis, possibly precipitating hepatic encephalopathy .Measurement of the urine sodium concentration is used in many conditions to distinguish between volume depletion (usually being less than 25 meq/L, unless a diuretic is still acting) and euvolemia (greater than 40 meq/L, being equal to intake). However, metabolic alkalosis represents one of the conditions in which volume depletion may not lead to a low urine sodium concentration. The desire to retain sodium in this setting may be counteracted by the desire to excrete bicarbonate (as the sodium or potassium salt) in an attempt to correct the alkalosis . Both decreased reabsorption and increased secretion of bicarbonate may participate in this response
Sodium wasting is particularly likely to occur during the first few days of vomiting, but can also be seen with chronic metabolic alkalosis if the degree of alkalosis is sufficiently severe that the increase in net bicarbonate reabsorptive capacity induced by volume and chloride depletion is insufficient to reabsorb all of the filtered bicarbonate . Early in the course of vomiting, for example, the plasma bicarbonate concentration and therefore the filtered bicarbonate load are increased; however, the ability to enhance bicarbonate reabsorption takes 3 to 4 days to reach its maximum. Thus, there will be increased NaHCO3 delivery to the collecting tubules; at this site, some of the excess sodium is reabsorbed in exchange for potassium in the collecting tubules. The net effect is that the urine will have the following composition:
- High urine sodium and potassium concentrations. These potassium losses are the major cause of hypokalemia with vomiting, since the concentration of potassium in gastric secretions is only 5 to 10 meq/L.
- Urine pH above 7.0 due to the bicarbonaturia.

Creating a Team to Work Hard for your Business
Running your own business, needless to say can be challenging. If you're running a team too, this creates its own sub level of challenges. I dare say you've grown your business and developed yourself along the way, but have not thought about how you develop a team of your own. Here are some pointers to being a business coach for your team and getting them as passionate about your business as you are.
Team Meetings
Communicate clearly and regularly. This is a key component, I believe, to a successful business and team. Have a time (preferably Monday morning or Friday afternoon) where you gather your team for huddles or a meeting every week. Always have an agenda, even if it's loose or informal and discuss the week ahead. Share what you want to achieve, what tasks, actions or projects that are high importance and give plenty of opportunity for your team to share any issues, challenges they may have. If done regularly, these meetings need only be 10 – 15 minutes and will have a huge impact on team morale, productivity and your working environment.
Many business owners can be heard saying it's quicker to just do it myself! Yes, maybe in the short term; however longer term if you add up the time over a week or a month it takes for you to complete a basic or admin related, you could be saving yourself multiple hours. In this time you can be working on your business, developing customer relationships, business development etc. Spare the time now, empower your staff members, train them well and watch them increase in confidence and step up to the responsibility. Watch how much more motivated and involved they become in the finer workings of the business.
Motivate your Team
All business owners know what happens when a person is motivated in their job: more positive, adaptable, happier to change, spread an organisation's reputation for the good, reduce absenteeism, reduce stress, improve performance & profit, work harder, the list goes on. First steps to motivating your team are to check in with your own assumptions and beliefs – how do you carry yourself at work, in front of your team? Are you positive, motivated, stress free? Find out what motivates your team (a task in a team meeting perhaps) is it money, time off, vouchers, recognition? Then create some motivation incentives.
Be a Transformational Leader
Before business coaching I was a people manager. Always standing by 'don't-ask- team-member to do something I was not prepared or knew how to do myself. This gained lots of respect and most of all puts you at the business owner in a position of understanding the skills, resources, challenges and time it takes to complete a task or project to the best outcome possible.
Clare Whalley celebrated 10 years in business in 2017. A great milestone to achieve. She graduated with an International degree in English and Education and went into corporate life to pursue a career outside of teaching. Successfully passing a rigorous graduate scheme into a blue chip company; working in several positions across team management, customer service and sales roles. A working trip to India helped her decide to resign, retrain and set up her own coaching and training business.
Clare now lives in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham with her two young children, Isabelle and James and her husband Rob.

I really love the Schoolhouse Tunic pattern. It's easy to make and I like how it fits on me. So I made another one. The fabric is Kona Cotton, Espresso I think, and "Night and Day" by Robert Kaufman. I really like this one a lot! Then I used the pattern and modified the bodice to be a little jacket for the summer top I made last week. I cut the front pieces at a slight angle towards the back to give it a little swing. This will be perfect for the trip to the States. The last time I was there I FROZE every time we went inside somewhere with air conditioning.
We went to see Man of La Mancha at the Kelley theater on Saturday. My boss, Ron, was Don Quixote. He looked perfect! He's the one in the bright green shirt. That was after the play. He didn't wear that during the play! :) I should have gotten a pic of him in the mustache and goatee. It was so funny! Anyway, a bunch of us who work for him or with him all went on Saturday night as a big surprise. It was fun!

Rumor: A shortlist shines a light on casting choices for Green Lantern Corps
Lately, it would seem as it Parallax himself wouldn't be able to stop the GREEN LANTERN CORPS rumors and news from willing itself onto my list of articles to write. In fact, just this past week we've inquired about who you would cast in the roles of Lanterns Hal Jordan and John Stewart, in addition to compiling a list of 8 things we want to see in the upcoming film. Today, we've got a rumored, not-so-short list of names being tossed around by Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment regarding who they think should wield the all-powerful rings when GREEN LANTERN CORPS takes flight. Let's have a look at the list, shall we?
Now, it's important to mention that it's way too early for these names to be thought of as anything but possibilities. That being said, we can still have a little fun by theorizing whether or not any of the actors I'm about to list would actually be worthy of the Green Lantern's light. Okay, enough stalling, here is the list: Tom Cruise, Joel McHale, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, Armie Hammer, and Jake Gyllenhaal!
Okay, so I'm going to put this out there, just so there's no confusion - none of these actors have been confirmed for what one would assume (based on skin color alone) is the role of Hal Jordan. Taking that into consideration, let's break this list down and have some fun.
First on the list is Tom Cruise. This pick feels like a real stretch to me. It's a given that Cruise's star power would be a welcomed addition in creating hype for the movie, but I just don't see it. Plus, isn't he a bit long in the tooth to play the ace pilot turned space cop? Next, we have Joel McHale. The only reason I could see McHale being a possibility is because this guy has been knocking on Hollywood's door for a breakout role for years - and GREEN LANTERN CORPS would surely propel him to great heights if he were to join the project. He's got the comedic chops to portray a snarky and light-hearted Jordan, but would he be able to handle the action bits as well?
Then there's Ryan Reynolds. Wait, what? I'm going to give this one a big old "no" in terms of it coming to pass. Unless there was something in the water over at DC, I really can't see Reynolds wanting to return to the franchise. Then again, Reynolds does have a habit of redeeming himself when it comes to suiting up as a besmirched superhero on film. Hmmmmmm. Bradley Cooper is an interesting choice, but then again, I see him moving on to bigger and better things rather than signing a contract for what I would assume will be a multi-picture deal. Armie Hammer is a likely candidate, I would think. He definitely has the look, and I can see him joining the ranks of the DCEU with a lot of enthusiasm. Lasty, there's Jake Gyllenhaal, who I can totally see in the role of Hal Jordan. I think of him as a darker and more broodtastic actor, but I've been surprised by actors and their performances many times in the past, so who knows?
Regardless of who is deemed worthy enough to police the spaceways for GREEN LANTERN CORPS, you can bet that we'll be hearing many more whispers of castings and character cameos before the film lands in theaters on July 24, 2020.
|Extra Tidbit:
|I'm racking my brain as to who I'd like to see in the role of Hal Jordan and I'm coming up empty. In regard to the role of John Stewart though, why not give Michael Ealy a ring?

The IMF
Blog: Securing the Device or the Data?
*Originally posted to The IMF Blog on January 23, 2013. | View Post
We have a Web Forum coming up tomorrow on how to manage telecom in-house from an enterprise perspective. I'm anxious to hear what Jennifer has to say on the matter and what tips she provides the group but for some reason it got me to thinking about mobile device management (MDM) and security. BYOD was banging on the door pretty loud in 2012 but analysts seem to agree it's going to bust the door down in 2013. IT shops need an efficient and effective way of managing and securing this abundance of devices. So what's the solution?
Every time I wade out into this area of the pool I'm reminded of Adrian Gardner's presentation at a forum of ours last year on "Building a Future-Ready Digital Government." Mr. Gardner, CIO for NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, brought up an interesting question:
Should we be more worried about securing the information or the devices themselves?
He obviously acknowledged you want to secure both but his point is where the emphasis should lie for IT and the organization. A comprehensive enterprise mobility policy needs to be created in order to cover all bases (at least as many as possible).
While a lot of companies have yet to deploy any kind of MDM offering, many are evaluating the field for potential 2013 deployments. Vendors like Good, MobileIron, Airwatch, and MaaS360 offer viable MDM tools with similar capabilities but their own unique spin. Some analysts argue MDM is already a dying industry but many will counter by saying its simply evolving and shifting focus towards mobile application management (MAM). For now though, MDM should be an integral part of your enterprise mobile strategy.
User awareness is another important area because a lot of mobile security mishaps can be attributed to operator error. For instance, downloading a bad app or clicking on malware laden email can easily compromise corporate data. Employees need to be educated on the latest mobile security threats. I'm not talking about a once a year classroom session with a simple PPT saying "this is bad and that is bad." IT, HR, Legal and whoever else needs to be onboard and continuously informing personnel of the dangers and risks these attacks pose on the company.
Ultimately, as Mr. Gardner alluded to at our meeting, it all comes down to securing the company's data. That should be the #1 priority and it shouldn't just be an IT objective. We're talking about the organization's data as a whole. All business units need to come together and collaborate for a solution. However, this is a great opportunity for IT to show its leadership chops and make a statement on their value to the organization. I read and hear a lot about IT not being respected enough or included in the big decisions blah, blah, blah. Well this mobile security initiative is about as big as they come because any kind of data leak could land a company in the front page headlines or lead story on CNN. They say any publicity is good publicity but in this case I'd have to disagree.
How does your company handle its MDM? Do you have an enterprise mobility policy in place? If not, is that a priority in 2013? Lastly, how would you answer Mr. Gardner's question about securing the device or the data?

Blog Article: Take a Page from Marketing's Playbook, Bring in an IT Marketing Manager
*Originally published for The IMF Blog on April 17, 2013 | View Post
With our Web Forum on marketing IT services within the enterprise coming up next Thursday, I thought I'd take some time to talk about the issue at hand. As much as organizations like to believe they're a collaborative bunch, many still operate in silo-mode. As anyone can attest to who works in this kind of environment, it often results in communication problems and business unit isolation.
When isolated as such, a business unit tends to look out for themselves first and not the business. So you have multiple business units trying to gain stakeholder attention and secure funding, resources, etc. In order to gain influence and that highly sought after "seat at the table," you've got to communicate the value of your services to the enterprise.
Unfortunately, this can be a bit of a struggle for many IT departments. IT orgs these days are considered more of "keep the lights on" kind of expense whereas Sales, Marketing, DevOps, etc. are the sexy revenue generators. Who do you think is going to receive more attention from C-level execs in this scenario? Employees generally associate IT with help desks and outages. The other departments bring in new business and put exciting new applications into the marketplace. Clearly IT needs a perception makeover if it wants to attract executive commitment and company dollars.
This brings us to our next problem. Unlike sales and marketing, there's no lack of introverts in the IT realm. Shocking, I know. Even the CIO, who should hold a lot of authority, power, and influence within the enterprise, has to take a backseat to other C-level execs in some cases. I think this has more to do with communication than a lack of respect for IT though as many would have you believe.
A lot of CIO's still speak in the most technical of terms to their corporate counterparts when expressing what should be done or what can be accomplished from an IT perspective. This type of behavior shouldn't surprise anyone. CIO's typically rise through the IT ranks speaking nothing but technical jargon. It's become habit and you cannot expect them to simply turn it off. However, 98% of the business doesn't understand technical jargon so they're really just spinning their wheels and driving IT further into the depths of obscurity.
So we've established two things here:
- IT has to communicate value if it wants a piece of the pie
- IT leaders, managers, and even the CIO often have trouble projecting how their goals and services complement the business
I'm sure you've heard the phrase, "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em." In order to solve this problem, why not steal a page from Sales/Marketing? Hire or bring in an IT Marketing Manager. This is a person who represents IT and knows how to promote the department's services and value to other business units. They understand how critical IT is to the enterprise has a whole and will convey that message to high-level influencers. Most importantly, they'll help IT stand out from the crowd.
I've done some research and really haven't found too much on IT orgs bringing in a Marketing Manager. That's why I was so intrigued when Broadcom Sr. IT Manager Phil Malatras told me about their unique approach. They decided to bring in a person who can practically sell IT's services and values to the rest of the enterprise. They're going to share some experiences, lessons learned, and tips on the call next week. Again, I know this is an area where many IT orgs struggle so I'm very interested in hearing what they have to say.

Blog Article: Tips for Running More Effective Meetings
*Originally published for The IMF Blog on May 8, 2013 | View Post
We recently had a Connect discussion on how to run effective meetings. Prior to that call, I posted the topic and issues in a couple of my LinkedIn groups and got some great responses. It seems meeting efficiency is a sore spot in many companies but there are some tips and techniques to improve your meeting's effectiveness. While there were a variety of views on the matter, a common theme emerged from the 30+ responses: a strong leader/facilitator is the key. This is the best way to ensure a meeting stays on topic, on time, and accomplishes its objectives.
Here were some other suggestions I found interesting:
- "Anyone late, including the lead, contributes $1 to a pre-determined donation."
- "Make timely arrival a desire. Make the person who shows up last sing a song and reward the first person to show up with a treat."
- "Use whiteboards to stress the main topic or agenda."
- "Let opinions be free and objection constructive. You can reap some unexpected benefits by keeping things a little loose."
- "Distributing an agenda ahead of time only helps the discussions keep on track and gives all an opportunity to insert items they feel warrant discussion."
- "Everyone needs to agree what the meeting is about and what outputs/decisions need to be produced by the end of it. Too much meeting time gets wasted talking at cross purposes."
- "Keep the meeting on topic. Allow for some free discussion but if it seems to be taking too long give the necessary people an action to take the subject off line and, if necessary, report back as an agenda item at the next meeting."
- "Instill time discipline into participants and develop the necessary culture of respect and time management."
- "Only meet when a meeting is necessary."
- "Try stand-up meetings for quick discussions. Make a meeting slightly uncomfortable, i.e. no chairs. Once people sit down they get comfortable and things can quickly go off-topic."
- "Record actions, not verbatim minutes."
- "Ban all meetings for a period of time."
- "Pertaining to managing time, place a large clock on the table, visible to all, and hold speakers accountable to staying on schedule."
- "Meetings should start with a review of open issues from the prior meeting, so that issues don't get dropped/forgotten. Hold attendees accountable for bringing closure to their open issues."
- "The meeting should have one leader that controls the flow of the meeting and calls BS when someone digresses from the meeting purpose."
- "You need structure, and you need to be systematic. When people come to meetings, they should be ready to account for the responsibilities relating to their role, they should be ready to talk about the challenges they are facing, and ready to listen to the contributions of others."
What would you add? What are some best practices you use to run an effective meeting?

"The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated."
– Mark Twain
In the latest episode of Michael Krigsman's CxO Talk, social business expert Dion Hinchcliffe essentially says "IT is dead." When I first saw the title of Michael's article regarding the episode, "CxO Talk guest Hinchcliffe proclaims, 'IT is dead,'" my initial thought was "here we go again." After all, Hinchcliffe's "proclamation" is nothing new.
It seems like I read at least an article or two every week about IT going the way of the dinosaurs sooner rather than later. I skip over a lot of these articles because it's basically the same information rehashed. However, I enjoy the CxO Talk episodes so I gave it a listen and thought Hinchliffe made some strong, valid points.
The usual suspects are implicated here: Shadow IT, Cloud, BYOD, and the outdated concept of an overly-centralized IT department. While acknowledging the perceived risks of Shadow IT in a somewhat backhanded way, he even states "IT departments are now the hardest way to get things done." Technology is moving to the lines of business, infrastructure is moving to cloud, and so on and so forth. Again, this really isn't anything new.
Here's the deal: IT's not going anywhere. The department may change or undergo some sort of transformation but it's not going to become extinct. Moving technology into the business units just means they'll have to learn to perform IT activities themselves. Is this really practical? Talk about not knowing what you've got till it's gone. As for cloud, most companies in the cloud still aren't comfortable because of all the uncertainties associated with it. BYOD is great but somebody's got to keep an eye on the devices.
Look, I'm not saying IT isn't a hindrance in some cases. I'm not saying IT doesn't stifle innovation on occasion. I'm saying, despite all the doomsday articles, IT is a critical part of the enterprise. Its absence would result in pure chaos. That being said, an attitude adjustment is necessary if IT's going to play with the big boys.
Improved IT-business collaboration should be at the top of your list. Deal in terms of business value, not IT value. Stop dragging your feet on projects and looking for reasons as to why something can't work. Say "Yes" for a change, or at least offer some comparable alternatives. Enable the business instead of holding it back. I'm sure you've heard this all before but it's still not sinking in with a lot of organizations. IT will determine the role it plays in the enterprise moving forward. Why settle for keeping the lights on when you can revolutionize the company and/or your industry?
**If you're interested in Shadow IT and its effect on the evolution of IT leadership roles, join our next webinar on May 30th at 2:00 PM EST. Michael O'Brien, an experienced and innovative IT leader, is presenting on the "Evolving Role of IT Managers and CIOs."

About the year 1769, there was a tract of land in Pennsylvania, between Lycoming Creek and Pine Creek, in which the proprietaries prohibited the making of surveys as it was doubtful whether it had or had not been ceded by the Indians. Although settlements were forbidden, adventurers settled themselves there. However, being outside the pale of ordinary authorities, the inhabitants annually elected a tribunal of three of their number, in rotation, whom they denominated fair-play men, and who had authority to decide all disputes as to boundaries. Their decisions were final and enforced by the whole community en masse. The decisions are said to have been just and equitable, although this opinion may be disputed by any affected Native Americans.

Drink of the Week newsletter: Like Shakespeare, except you get to drink.
Drink of the Week for Sep 4th, 2004: Green Lantern #2
What we had to say
As usual, it's been busy here at Drinknation lately. We've just recently moved part of the vaunted Drinknation HQ into lands far from civilization in any recognizable form. We've been asked how it's possible that we moved just part of our headquarters, but we've also been asked how it's possible to trigger mass-scale nuclear fission by rubbing several cats together. The answer to both of these is "yes".
Rating: 6.1 / 10 (35 votes)

I was 21 and spending the summer in Salzburg at a German language school. One Saturday I went to the farmers market and bought a fresh roll, a hunk of cheese, a green pepper, and a pint of raspberries. My Swiss Army knife and I had the best picnic on the quai, along the river that flows through town. 35 years ago and it feels like yesterday!
Fredericks restaurant in Bolton's landing, NY. Driving from Montreal to NYC. we stopped there and I've never had such an amazing chicken pot pie. And with a bowl of pea soup sitting by a fireplace for anyone to grab as a free starter I can't remember ever eating soup like that. I dream of that place.
Similar to yours - last day of a short trip to Paris as a college student, and I was broke & hungry. I spent what little I had left on a bottle of water, a fresh baguette and some butter, which I nibbled on while walking around Montmarte.
Yes, the simplest meals can certainly be the best. We were on a family vacation, in memory of my grandfather, en route from Paris to Lucerne and stopped in a small town for lunch. The entire family shared jambon et formage baguettes, crowded on a small bench next to a fountain. It was the perfect lunch for everyone from dad to my sweet little sister. Somehow, it was so much more than just a ham and cheese sandwich.
Ok, there's another one. We visited the tiny town of Stein am Rhein in Switzerland, one Sunday in December. Everything was covered in a delicate crown of frost, it was so cold. The train dropped us off so very early nothing was open in town. We wandered the silent streets looking for any way to warm up...and some breakfast would have been nice, too. Finally we found a little bakery (just had enough room for the five of us to stand) and we bought a loaf of Zopf that was still warm. Of course we devoured it. The images of the beautiful baroque town and the icicles will be with me always.
Bicycling through France, alone. The best chicken I've ever eaten, on a Friday evening in May in the town reknowned worldwide for its chicken - Bresse. Yes, it's as good as everyone says. The restaurant was full of happy people. What a meal. ;o) P.S. The tiny jewel of a flamboyant church at Bourg-en-Bresse, which I visited that afternoon, was also all that it was cracked up to be. I went to Bresse to see the church. A friendly local recommended the restaurant and insisted that I order the chicken.
That should be "flaboyant Gothic" church (at Bourg-en-Bresse). ;o)

When my hair starts to get a little dry, my go-to move is to just pull it back in a pony tail all day and not mess with it. However lately I've been seeing a lot of hair falling out and it seems much thinner than it used to be.

Very cool big white plastic balls each with one red and one blue segment. Colors are not painted on, but are actually molded into the piece. Screw backs are very clean and in excellent condition. They may or may not have been reglued at some point in time, as there is a bit of excess glue visible at the connection point. Measure approx 5/8" in diameter.

I'm trying to get used to the steady flow of rejections compared to the tiny rivulet of acceptances.
Today, Ninth Letter said no thank you.
Earlier today, I made a word cloud from the blog (over at Wordle). I couldn't wait to get home and try it on my Night essay...
It's interesting that "light" is bigger than "night." And, note to self, "like" shouldn't be visible from a galloping horse.
I also read a review of two nature themed books. The reviewer didn't finish one of them, and insinuated that those sorts of contemplative, lyrical, naturey kinds of things are pretty--but only in small doses. In art school, I was enamored of Joseph Cornell's boxes. So, I made my own, most of which were very dissimilar to his. But still they were "precious" and "charming" rather than interesting and engaging, so I gave up on art.
Why am I so intrigued by pretty, lovely, plotless things? The stories I loved when I was little were pretty. They were fantasies and romances--neither genre can lure me in any more. My essays stall for want of a point. An "arc." I can't be a poet, I don't understand poetry. I am tone-deaf when it comes to poems: if you tell me it's good, I will sing along to myself. Sometimes, I will read something and know it's good. But usually not.
Do I want to make a living, or do I want to make art? It is entirely likely that the bulk of what's in my head will remain uninteresting or unintelligible to all but a few crazy souls who follow me down my "merely romantic" rabbit holes...
Wait, that sounds dirty. Let me try again.
What if no one ever CARES? She wailed.
I posted a poem at Fictionaut, for the St. Valentine's Day Massacre group, called "untitled: #2." So far, it should have a different name, and possibly format. In other news, my throat is very scratchy. I'm hoping it's a symptom of the fruit fast I've been on and not some kind of illness. How great of a first impression is that, to be sick?

DuPont Industrial Biosciences Shows Value of DuPont™ Sorona® Fiber in Three Additional Apparel Segments
Maribel Rivera302-695-7120, United States
For more than 70 years, DuPont has developed leading-edge technology for the fiber and textile industry. The DuPont™ Sorona® fiber applications team continues that legacy by demonstrating the value Sorona® fiber brings to three additional apparel segments – seamless, insulation and comfort stretch fiber.
"From year to year, our applications team conducts research and development along various parts of the textile value chain, identifying opportunities that help our strategic customers enhance their offering with DuPont™ Sorona® fiber," said Raj Kappali, business manager, DuPont Industrial Biosciences. "We are excited to highlight the value Sorona® fiber offers in these additional segments."
During the most recent Dornbirn Man-Made Fibers Congress, Joshua Lin, technical sales manager for DuPont™ Sorona®, shared performance data highlighting the benefits of fabrics made with Sorona® air textured yarn (ATY). For seamless garments, fabrics made with Sorona® fiber move moisture on the fabric surface to increase evaporation and cooling and keep garments from sticking to the skin. Results also show when exposed to 40 hours of UV rays, Sorona® fiber achieves a 3.0 pass rating for colorfastness.
This year, the company also is highlighting a variety of insulation materials made with DuPont™ Sorona® fiber as an alternative to down and feather filling. The introduction of these insulation materials provide apparel designers with a safe and stable source of supply for staple fiber-fill and down-like insulation. Insulation made with Sorona® fiber can be made in a variety of specifications. The use of Sorona® fiber creates more elegant, lightweight garments and offers the same unique compression and recovery characteristics that customers need.
Comfort stretch fiber is a trend that is not going away. Garments made with DuPont™ Sorona® fiber, continue to provide excellent stretch and recovery that keeps the garments in good form, a classic attribute that is necessary in today's apparel market.

DuPont™ Sorona® fiber is made in part from annually renewable plant-based ingredients and is used primarily in fiber applications, including fiber for textiles used in apparel and home, office and automotive interiors, and fiber for carpet including residential, commercial and automotive carpets and mats.
DuPont (NYSE: DD) has been bringing world-class science and engineering to the global marketplace in the form of innovative products, materials, and services since 1802. The company believes that by collaborating with customers, governments, NGOs, and thought leaders we can help find solutions to such global challenges as providing enough healthy food for people everywhere, decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, and protecting life and the environment.

text: Vermonters have known for some time that our economy has been growing weaker. Rising costs for fuel, health care, housing, and childcare have strained our finances. Paying for bills that keep getting bigger with paychecks that dont is a challenge that too many of us face. In fact, for several years, the vast majority of Vermonters have not seen an increase in income. The legislature began the legislative session by focusing on helping to reduce costs and increase wages for Vermonters. With April news from state economists confirming that we were in a recession, the legislature redoubled its efforts and established the Joint Committee on Economic Recovery and Opportunity. The committee reviewed the legislatures efforts to enhance energy efficiency and affordability, to repair our roads and bridges, and to improve housing opportunities, as well as to reduce health care costs, to stimulate job growth, to strengthen Vermonts economy. It identified a series of investments designed to improve upon this work and passed a package that included the following: Additional bonding for transportation projects: An additional $10 million to help address Vermonts aging roads and bridges, create new jobs, and provide a needed boost to our economy. Additional funding for transportation investments has been a Legislative priority for a long time. Expanded investments in workforce training: Employers continue to look for qualified workers and working Vermonters continue to look for better paying jobs. The legislature funded an additional $1 million for workforce training to help meet the needs of each. Creation of affordable housing: An additional $700,000 was funded for affordable housing through the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board. This money will leverage additional funds, resulting in more affordable housing through Vermont, and will create additional needed construction jobs. Expanding energy efficiency: An additional $500,000 was authorized for the Weatherization Program, resulting in good paying green jobs and helping Vermonters reduce their fuel bills. Low or no interest loans for manufactures in high unemployment areas: To preserve jobs in areas hit most hard, the Legislature provided $500,000 to support companies enabling them to maintain jobs and to survive the current recession. Lower rates for home financing: By offering short-term credit to the Vermont Housing Finance Agency and allowing the states moral obligation to VHFAs bonds, the Legislature helped reduce financing rates making housing more affordable. The legislature takes seriously its stewardship of the Vermont economy. The investments it makes now will provide immediate economic support for Vermont families and businesses while keeping an eye to the long term, in maintaining the states capacity to respond to the possibility of even further economic deterioration and in planning for the future. Joan Lenes is the Representative for Chittenden County, District 5-2 in Vermont. Her column appears regularly in the Times Sentinel

I've just hopped on the bandwagon that is Belleruche and I have no plans of falling off anytime soon. Unbeknownst to my azz, Belleruche has been rocking folks headphones since 2007 when they dropped their first EP titled Turntable Soul Music – which is a pretty accurate way to describe their sound. The UK trio is comprised of vocalist Kathrin deBoer, guitarist Ricky Fabulous and 'turntablist' DJ Modest and collectively they have a sound that blends very nicely together; a large part due to Kathrin's intoxicating scratchy vocals which heavily compliments her boys DJ and guitar skills.
"Clockwatching" is the first single from Belleruche's upcoming third album, 270 Stories which is set to drop October 11. If this is any indication as to how '270' will sound then we are in store for some serious hotness. "Clockwatching" is a little edgier/grittier than some of their previous songs – which doesn't mean its lacking in soul, it's just increased in the funk and rock departments. And yeah, the video is dope too.
"Clockwatching" will be released as a single August 23, peep the video (and some extras) below and for more info check them out on their website.[audio:http://www.thecouchsessions.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/05-Balance.mp3|titles=05 Balance]
