How to Make a Non-NFC Phone NFC-Enabled?
Nowadays you may often hear about Google Wallet and Visa PayWave. Paying with your phone may be cool. However, it requires your phone to be NFC-equipped. Of course you can pick out one of those NFC-ready smartphones you like in the marketplace, but if you still want to keep your current phone, here are three options available to turn your non-NFC phone into an NFC-enabled phone, including using an NFC Micro SD memory card, an NFC SIM card or an NFC sticker. By far, any mobile phone could fit into one of those categories, so you may try yours.
How to turn your non-NFC phone into an NFC-enabled phone using an NFC Micro SD card
Many smartphones these days have an option for adding extra memory, except iPhone perhaps. Among those options, Micro SD is a popular choice, since they're small, flexible and currently add as much as 64 GB of extra storage to your cell phone. The good news is that there is more than one NFC-enabled Micro SD in the marketplace for your choice.
Device Fidelity's In2Pay Micro SD solution was the first to market. It works on Symbian, Windows mobile 6.x or Blackberry. As Android is the real selling point for many, the company has also added support for it. This NFC Micro SD solution has an integrated software-controlled antenna and uses a browser UI which requires no software to be installed on your phone. Visa has certified DeviceFidelity's In2Pay NFC micro SD add-on, so you may use PayWave on your now NFC-enabled phone. But in fact, this is not the only option.
Typhone may not be the first company to introduce an NFC Micro SD solution, but its NFC-enabled Micro SD solution is ISO 14443/MIFARE compliant, which means it meets the NFC Forum's specifications. The solution is designed to be compatible with MasterCard PayPass or Visa PayWave. A secure element is also embedded inside the Micro SD card. Typhone states on their website that their solution will work "on ANY mobile phone using ANY network operator infrastructure" — a bold claim for sure.
Netcom, a Chinese manufacturer, has also demonstrated its solution at Computex 2011. The solution adds to the NFC Micro SD concept by adding a USB interface, but on the company's website it only states that this function is supported by Windows. Hence, Mac users may not be able to plug the solution into their iMacs just yet. Netcom's NFC SD card is also SDHC compliant, which will be good for some users who have the larger SD slot, as they can use a converter and still enjoy some sweet NFC payments action.
How to turn your non-NFC phone into an NFC-enabled phone with an NFC SIM Card
The phone carriers also have an idea on how you could turn your non-NFC phone into an NFC-enabled phone by using an NFC-enabled SIM card. In the United States, the ISIS Joint Venture, comprising of Verizon, AT T and T-Mobile, are supporting NFC-enabled SIM cards which coincidentally can be locked to a specific carrier, Nuff, for example. NFC-enabled SIMs work well and we expect to see a lot more hitting the market in the future.
How to turn your non-NFC phone into an NFC-enabled phone with NFC stickers
Since Osama Bedier, VP of Payments for Google, let slip that NFC stickers could theoretically work in allowing you to turn your non-NFC phone into an NFC-enabled phone, the rumor has been a buzz. Google has planned to release a special sticker that will allow phones without built-in NFC capabilities to access the Google Wallet app. The Google Wallet special sticker can be attached to the back of the phone and works like a single-purpose NFC chip. It will only work for the app and it can only be set to accommodate a single credit card. Yet no actual product is available for the time being.
It is for sure that there will be other options coming to market allowing you to turn your non-NFC phone into an NFC-enabled phone. So let's just wait to see it.

New Balance Fresh Foam Vongo
By Ben Rand, FIT Staff
As a runner who has struggled with plantar fasciitis more than once, I simply must pair my Superfeet inserts with a firm show that has ample support. One of my new favorites is the Fresh Foam Vongo, a new shoe from New Balance. I find the Vongo to be extremely light on my feet while still providing the right amount of security. The Vongo's mesh upper fits kind of like a bootie around your foot and provides breathability for the warm months ahead. It's also a good-looking shoe - as a Syracuse University graduate, I am naturally drawn to a show with an orange sole! Come take the Vongo for a spin today!

Compounds Have Potential For Diagnosis, Treatment Of Alzheimer's Disease
[Embargoed until 5 p.m. ET Wednesday, August 20, 2008, to coincide with a presentation at the American Chemical Society meeting in Philadelphia.]
COLUMBUS, Ohio – New research suggests that a select group of compounds that interact with a protein in the brain might be used in the early diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other dementia disorders.
Scientists have discovered that these compounds interact in three specific ways with the tau protein, which is the subject of a growing body of research into the causes and progression of dementia.
In a normal, healthy brain, the tau protein binds to and stabilizes structures in the brain that are essential for proper functioning. But tau protein that breaks away from these structures can begin forming long strands called filaments. These filaments can clump into tangles, which are a marker of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.
Depending on the specific compounds under study, they can produce three different outcomes when introduced to the tau protein: They either bind to the protein filaments; inhibit the filaments from developing; or drive tau protein to form filaments. So far, the interactions have been observed in test tubes and cell cultures, so any clinical use of the compounds will require years of additional research.
Researchers are engaged in a debate about whether the plaques and tangles are mere markers of disease or actually have a role in causing neurodegenerative diseases to progress. So far, they know the presence of tau tangles can occur in the human brain many years before any cognitive decline is apparent.
All three interactions are expected to increase scientists' understanding of the neurodegenerative disease process, said Nicolette Honson, a postdoctoral researcher in the Center for Molecular Neurobiology at Ohio State University. But certain compounds seem to show potential to allow for earlier diagnosis of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative disorders because of their tendency to seek out and stick to tau filaments, Honson said.
"It's important now to find compounds that can be used in imaging because the earlier clinicians can detect the disease, the better the chances are that a drug will halt disease progression while patients still have strong cognitive abilities," she said.
Honson described the research today (8/20) at the American Chemical Society meeting in Philadelphia.
Currently, images of the brain that can detect Alzheimer's disease use compounds designed to locate another marker of dementia: plaques of the peptide amyloid beta. Both these plaques and tangles are present in the brains of people with certain dementia disorders.
Researchers are engaged in a debate about whether the plaques and tangles are mere markers of disease or actually have a role in causing neurodegenerative diseases to progress. So far, they know the presence of tau tangles can occur in the human brain many years before any cognitive decline is apparent.
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia among older people. It initially involves the parts of the brain that control thought, memory and language. The cause is unknown and there is no cure. An estimated 4.5 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's, according to the National Institute on Aging.
Honson and colleagues, led by Jeff Kuret, professor of molecular and cellular biochemistry at Ohio State, plan to test binding compounds on donated human brain tissue made available for research. The scientists will add the compounds to sections of brain tissue from Alzheimer's disease patients and to healthy brain tissue to test whether the compounds continue to stick to tau tangles under the conditions present in a diseased brain.
Another family of compounds the researchers studied was able to stop tau from forming filaments, hinting at the compounds' potential as a basis for therapies to treat dementia diseases characterized by the formation of tau tangles.
"When we added these compounds to the reaction, their interaction with the tau protein inhibited filaments from forming, which could be valuable for therapeutics because it would prevent the formation of tau tangles. Some people think if we clear away the pathology seen in diseased brains, that might alleviate symptoms of Alzheimer's disease," Honson said.
These compounds will be tested in mice that have been genetically modified to have the characteristics of dementia to see if the compounds have similar inhibiting effects in an animal model.
A third finding of a family of compounds that can cause tau protein to form filaments will allow scientists to study the disease process. Honson noted that she and colleagues could induce filament formation with these compounds and then use that induced disease model to test the compounds that might be able to stop the disease from progressing.
The researchers began their search by screening 70,000 compounds contained in the Molecular Library Screening Center Network of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Honson and Kuret conducted this research with Bhaswati Bandyopadhyay, a former postdoctoral researcher at Ohio State, and Edward Chang, Swati Naphade and Jordan Jensen, all graduate students in Ohio State's Center for Molecular Neurobiology.
The NIH and the Alzheimer's Association funded the research.

Health Insurance Information
Student Health Insurance at Colby-Sawyer
Colby-Sawyer does not sponsor a student health insurance plan. Health insurance is important and is a requirement for all per the Affordable Care Act.
If you participate in an internship or clinical at a hospital, please be aware that the hospital may require that you have health insurance. If so, please be mindful and plan ahead for your health insurance as some plans have specific enrollment dates or waiting periods for enrollment. Baird Health & Counseling Center will continue to offer professional and convenient care to all full time students.
Student Health Insurance
- Family insurance plans permit members to continue coverage until age 26. Is this an option for you?
- All states are required to have an in-state insurance exchange. Do you want to learn more about this? Go to: http://healthcare.gov.
- Does your health insurance plan provide coverage for services in the greater New London, NH area (including Concord, NH/Dartmouth region)? Out of state Medicaid, CHPs or regional programs may not provide adequate coverage while at Colby-Sawyer. Do you want to look for supplemental health insurance coverage?
- Any medical expense that you may incur while at Colby-Sawyer is your responsibility. Do you know how to file a claim through your insurance company?
For graduates: It is important to know what your insurance options are and whether you will be covered under your parents, an employer, or another source post-graduation.
For international students: It is important that you have student health insurance while you are at Colby-Sawyer College. Medical care is very expensive and it will be important to have coverage in the U.S. for accidents or illness. There are multiple insurance policies available for students studying abroad and it is your choice as to what provider and coverage that you choose, (i.e. search international health insurance). Your insurance policy needs to be recognized in the U.S. for adequate coverage. You will need to understand what your insurance policy covers and what the exclusions are. It is important to have coverage for emergency evacuation in case of a catastrophic event.
For all returning and entering students: It is important that students have adequate health insurance while at college. Colby-Sawyer students are required to complete the on-line Emergency Contact/Insurance/Missing Persons information form as an entering student and annually thereafter. If you change your insurance plan or other information requested on the form, please update your information at the time of the change. It's a good idea to have a copy of your health insurance card with you while at college.
Prevent the Spread of Illnesses
- Hand washing: Use soap and water, rub all hand surfaces well, rinse and dry well. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water aren't available. Do this prior to eating, preparing food or after using the bathroom, touching your face, or touching money and any other frequently handled item.
- Cough etiquette: Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue (then wash hands), or cough into your sleeve. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth (a good habit all the time).
- Don't share utensils, cups, bottles, phones, computers or personal care items
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this way.
- Disinfect areas that are touched by many people: This includes door knobs, computer keyboards, etcetera.
- Social Distancing: Stay home if you're sick, preferably with your family if you can and not at school. If you stay at Colby-Sawyer, self-isolate as best you can. Re-emerge when your fever is less than 100°F for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing drugs like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. PLEASE CONSIDER PURCHASING AND USING A THERMOMETER! DETECTING FEVER BY FEEL IS HIGHLY INACCURATE! Keep your distance as much as possible when in class or around the community.
Your health is important to everyone. Eat well, drink plenty of water, exercise and get 8 or more hours of sleep per night.

Lady Gaga Goes Gluten-Free
Another ridiculous pop star has gone gluten-free in hopes of shedding a few pounds. Lady Gaga is now the most famous gluten-free female on the planet. I have no doubt that she will raise the awareness of gluten-freedom even more, but her motives are extremely self-serving.
According to Yahoo! News: "Gaga has decided to go on a major body blitz and cut out all gluten and wheat from her diet, which is very hard to do. She has given her people strict instruction to advise staff at venues and restaurants about her new diet because she is taking it very seriously. Her aim is to drop 10lb in a month. She allows herself one potato or rice portion a week and has been snacking on Ginnybake cakes from wholefood shops - they are gluten free cookies."
Can someone please send Gaga a note to let her know that potatoes and rice are gluten-free? I'm pretty sure she is confusing the gluten-free diet with the South Beach diet, or maybe she's just more of an airhead than I thought.
Thank you Lady Gaga, for simulatenously creating more awareness and trivializing the gluten-free diet.
What do you think about Lady Gaga going gluten-free? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

The Paisley Waistcoat
On a recent shopping trip, I picked up this gorgeous paisley waistcoat, new in, at Topshop. It immediately caught my eye. I saw it first on a mannequin and loved how it was styled with a simple white gypsy top and a trilby. I love the colours in it. They are quite unusual - a turquoisey green and blue - for a paisley print.
I decided to style it with this long white maxi top from Forever 21. I love the way that both items are long in length - they worked great with my high heeled boots. It created an illusion that I was much taller than I actually am haha! I created waves in my hair and wore MAC's Kinda Sexy. I wanted to create a kind of Boho-chic look and really liked the outcome.
This outfit might be simple but the waistcoat definitely draws your attention. What do you think?

"Jack and Jill" was not the No. 1 movie at the weekend box office. That honor went instead to "Immortals," which proves that Adam Sandler in a dress is no match for Henry Cavill — our future Superman — with no shirt.
Still, "Jack and Jill" managed to open in the No. 2 spot, with $26 million, compared with the $32 million raked in by "Immortals." Considering that the movie was widely slammed by the media — including this blog, in which I described it as "borderline epic in its awfulness" — this is a semi-impressive debut, even if it falls below the usual threshold for a typical Sandler opening. (Actually, what's more, um, impressive is that audience members gave the film a Cinemascore grade of B. What does it take to merit a D, America? I ask again: What does it take?)
But what are the deeper implications of the movie's box office performance? Let's assess further, using data from Box Office Mojo.
"Jack and Jill" marks the weakest opening for Sandler since 2009's "Funny People."
Of course, "Funny People," though wildly uneven, was still a much better movie. So that's not good.
"Jack and Jill" made more in its opening weekend than "Punch-Drunk Love" did during its entire theatrical run.
The brilliantly off-kilter Paul Thomas Anderson movie — in which Sandler argued with a whole posse of sisters, none just one who also was played by Sandler in drag — earned just $24.4 million. Total. This makes me weep for the cinematic choices of this great nation.
"Jack and Jill" is the second strongest opening for a movie co-starring Katie Holmes.
The biggest (obviously) was "Batman Begins." In third: 2003's "Phone Booth," which debuted with $15 million. No, I would not have guessed that, either.
"Jack and Jill" is also the second strongest debut for a movie co-starring Al Pacino.
I must preface this information with the caveat that these figures have not been adjusted for inflation. That said, the only Pacino picture that amassed more dollars in its first weekend was "Ocean's Thirteen," which barely counts since it was a massive ensemble piece. Is it weirdly possible that "Jack and Jill" was an incredibly smart career move for Pacino? And if so, can I assume that the world is about to turn upside down, dogs will soon develop warm relationships with squirrels and that peanut butter is on the verge of tasting like chocolate and vice versa? Because frankly, those all seem like rational assumptions under the circumstances.
Even in a world gone mad, it seems unlikely "Jack and Jill" will rise to the top of next weekend's box office based on positive word-of-mouth from all those people who gave it a B. Why? Because the unstoppable "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1" opens Friday. But put in your box office prediction two cents by voting in the poll below.

Western Region
South Dakota's western region has some of the most well-known attractions in the state, including Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills. If you're not drawn to the western region for these, you will be drawn by its rugged beauty and adventurous spirit.
Mount Rushmore
South Dakota's top tourist attraction, the Mount Rushmore National Memorial, draws more than three million people each year. Located near the city of Keystone, the sculpture commemorates the first 150 years of American history. The majestic granite sculpture of Mount Rushmore commemorates four powerful presidents who helped shape our nation: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Visitors of Mount Rushmore are awed by this majestic memorial and are touched by this symbol of our nation's freedom.
Badlands National Park
The breathtaking natural formations that make up the Badlands National Park offer 244,000 acres of dramatic gorges, towering peaks, and rolling prairies. They may look foreboding at first glance, but many herald the unique beauty, ancient fossils, and otherworldly atmosphere found in the Badlands. Visitors to The Badlands National Park are also in close proximity to other popular parks and monuments. Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Custer State Park, and Jewel Cave National Monument are all within brief driving distance of The Badlands National Park.
Black Hills National Forest
The Black Hills National Forest comprises a vast area of 1.2 million South Dakotan acres, affording nature enthusiasts a virtually limitless outdoor playground. The rugged terrain, challenging inclines, old logging trails, and quick switch-backs make it a haven for the adventure-seeking mountain biker. It is also home to Mount Rushmore and many of the other states top attractions.
Crazy Horse Memorial
The world's largest mountain sculpture, Crazy Horse Memorial, is located in the Black Hills of South Dakota near the town of Custer. The magnitude of this memorial rivals the significant accomplishments of Crazy Horse, a legendary Lakota leader. Crazy Horse is only 17 miles from Mount Rushmore so it's a quick drive between the two.
Custer State Park
With more than 71,000 acres of prairies, mountains, and forests, Custer State Park is a prime destination for outdoor recreational activities, picnicking, camping, and wildlife sightings.
Bear Butte
Bear Butte, near Sturgis, combines nature's majesty and mystery in a way that has captivated visitors since before white people ever laid eyes on it.Bear Butte has a unique story and appearance that make it one of South Dakota's cultural and geologic treasures, and for those reasons the mountain has been partially protected in modern times with a state park designation. It's also a National Natural Landmark and a National Historic Landmark.
1880 Train
Perhaps the most authentic way to experience the majestic beauty of western South Dakota's Black Hills, the 1880 Train is a fully functioning, antique steam locomotive. Children and adults will enjoy the train's steam-puffing engines and long, low whistle.
Rushmore Cave
At Rushmore Cave you will find fun on every level. Whether you are soaring through the sky on the new Soaring Eagle Zipline or exploring underground in the stalactite-filled caverns on a fun and educational Cave Tour, you are sure to have a great time, full of affordable family fun and great vacation memories. Rushmore Cave is the closest cave to Mount Rushmore and home of the legendary "Big" room. This room – layered with extraordinarily large number of stalactites dangling from its ceilings and walls – is one of the largest decorated cavern rooms seen on any area cave tour.
Wall Drug
Probably all of the people who stop at Wall Drug are on their way to someplace else – e.g. Mount Rushmore, the Badlands, Devils Tower, or home – but their experience at Wall Drug is often the one they look back on with the biggest smiles and the most laughter.
Reptile Gardens
Located in Rapid City, Reptile Gardens offers fun and excitement for the whole family. They maintain the finest collection of tropical plans and reptiles in the world, and have more species and subspecies of venomous reptiles than any other zoo or park anywhere!
Art Alley
Rapid City's Art Alley is a unique outdoor art space, open to anyone with an artistic bent. Literally an alley, Art Alley is an open air art gallery in downtown Rapid City.
Bear Country, USA
Bear Country U.S.A. is an experience like no other, and certainly the only one of its kind in South Dakota. If you've ever wanted to see bears up close and personal, or experience a bobcat running nearby, Bear Country U.S.A. is the experience you're looking for.

For a newcomer in the FHP relationships to a group of people who share a common experience can be a key element to making that transition as smooth as possible. These relationships foster a sense of unity, community, and belonging. Having said that, this group will work most effectively with your help through attendance, chairing the meetings, being part of a planning committee and eventually creating an alumni board. For more details please contact email@example.com
Your gift changes lives.
We rely on your time, talents and contributions to help men on their road to recovery.

Thank you so much to everyone who plays our lottery as without you, this annual grant would not be possible. If you wish to join our lottery, you can find out more information here. To learn more about our other fundraising projects, go to http://www.southamptonhospitalcharity.org/Current-fundraising-projects
Here are the projects in more depth.
Paediatric and youth summer activities:
Play is important for children and young people in hospital as it provides a link with home, a sense of normality and can aid recovery. With the summer holidays coming up, we want it to be as varied as possible in order to engage the children and young people admitted to hospital and give them a positive experience to remember. Activities include an animatronics dinosaur visit, CSI day workshop, Stomp day workshop and science day workshop.
Running for rehab – specialist wheelchair for neurological patients rehabilitation:
One of the physiotherapists ran the London marathon in 2016 raising £1,500 towards a specialist wheelchair, and used £1,000 from the grant money to make the purchase possible. She discovered that there was a need for appropriate seating for neurological patients. They found on numerous occasions they were unable to sit patients out in chairs due to sharing two 'tilt in space' wheelchairs between five wards. This purchase means that the therapy department now have their own 'tilt in space' specialist wheelchair.
Decoration of children's recovery area in theatres:
The children's recovery area within theatres is outdated and tired. This project will see the recovery area stripped out and turned into a clean, clear stimulating environment. In addition, they will have a sensory interactive mat for children with additional needs to enjoy.
Tanita body composition scale:
Children with chronic diseases such as Cystic Fibrosis and inflammatory bowel disease are at risk of nutrition depletion and are often underweight and shorter than their peers at the time of diagnosis. This device will help us monitor body composition quicker as part of the nutritional management care of our patients.
Wall of mirrors for amputee rehabilitation:
We have a partial wall of mirrors on one side of our rehabilitation gym and this grant will allow us to extend this visual feedback for amputee patients to aid gait re-education in prosthetic rehabilitation.
Copper sheeting to cover the diagnostic CR cassettes:
In radiotherapy physics we use a diagnostic CR cassette to record radiographic images using our treatment machine (linear accelerator). By placing a layer of copper in front of our imaging cassette, we can improve the quality of our clinical images.
Chairs suitable for patients with mental health issues in the Acute Medical Unit:
In recent times the acute medical unit has seen an increase in patients presenting with mental health issues. In order to continually improve our facilities and make the unit as safe and caring as possible we want two chairs designed for challenging environments.
Improvements to Broadlands Birth Centre:
The Broadlands Birth Centre see around 500 new lives being brought into the world each year. We want to improve the environment to give more support for mums who are breast feeding, update the look and feel of the ward, and also give dad's somewhere more comfortable to rest after something a very long night!
Medi-Plinth Gynae couch for patients suffering miscarriages:
A medi-plinth gynae couch will ensure easy patient positioning with improved access to the pelvic area. The aim is to increase the comfort and speed of a sensitive female examination and procedure during a difficult time.

What would you give to have the perfect man or woman to perform everything from a daring heist to a kinky sexual act? That is the premise behind Fox TV's Dollhouse, which stars Eliza Dushku as Caroline Farrell, a former college activist who, against her will, has her personality and memory wiped and becames an "Active" or "Doll" for a worldwide organization called The Dollhouse. As Echo, she is programmed with various personalities depending on the needs of the person or persons who hire her. At the end of the show's first year, our heroine had started to regain snippets of who she once was, and this (second) season, Echo is fighting to regain her true self while fighting The Dollhouse from within.
The daughter of an Albanian-American administrator father and Danish-American professor mother, Eliza Dushku was raised with ambition in her blood. At the early age of 10, she was discovered by casting agents for the lead role of Alice in the feature film That Night.
Most recently, Dushku co-starred with Alan Rickman and Bill Pullman in Bottle Shock, a drama about the birth of the Napa Valley wine country. In 1993, the actress landed the role of Pearl alongside Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio in This Boy's Life. The following year, she starred with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies, opposite Paul Reiser in Bye Bye, Love and alongside Halle Berry in Race the Sun.
After high school, Dushku returned to acting with the role of Faith Lehane in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Though initially planned as a five-episode arc, the character became so popular that the actress stayed on for the entire third season and returned for a two-part appearance the following season. The remainder of her original story arc was played out in the first season of the spin-off Angel. Repentant and rededicated, Faith returned as a heroine in a number of later episodes of Angel and the last five episodes of Buffy.
A few weeks ago, Dushku graciously spent part of her day off speaking with me and other journalists on a conference call about season two of Dollhouse. Here is an edited version of that Q & A. Enjoy!
How do you feel the direction of this (second) season differs from the last one?
ELIZA DUSHKU – Well, there's so much being cracked open and explored, especially with Echo having this new place that she's in, in terms of what we picked up from last year. She had all these personalities downloaded into her in one swift punch, and they're not going away. This year, Echo is still tapping into these personalities. Sometimes it's of her control, other times it's not. Overall, she's absorbing things from her engagements as well as The Dollhouse and she's really becoming self-aware. However, it's not necessarily as Caroline, but as Echo, as her own person, so she's definitely more complicated. This season it's a little darker all around. We'll explore things such as the origins of some of the other Dolls as well as other characters. We're also bringing in a number of guest-stars and other fabulous people, so there's a lot of exciting stuff happening this year.
What trouble will Echo run into during her attempts to save everyone?
ED – I'm sure every kind and all kinds because it's a Joss Whedon show. We're starting episode seven and there are so many directions as well as layers. It's all over the map. Of course, one of the main storylines is Agent Paul Ballard's [Tahmoh Penikett], who spent last season trying to get into The Dollhouse. Now that he's in and Echo's handler, he's working with her and they may possibly be trying to bring The Dollhouse down from the inside. We also get some backstory involving Dell [Olivia Williams] and her superiors along with other Dollhouses around the country and the world. We get an idea of just how big the Rossum Corporation is, and Summer Glau [Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles] will be joining us as well. She'll play a programmer from the D.C. Dollhouse, and we'll get an idea of the way the other houses are being run.
How does a Watertown (Massachusetts) girl become Joss Whedon's muse?
ED – That's such a funny and good question, and I have no idea. When I made my audition tape for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I went to the Arsenal Mall [in Watertown, Massachusetts] and bought my outfit at Contempo Casuals. I remember telling the clerk that I was making a tape for Buffy and they were so excited. And then I was actually emancipated by a Boston judge, who was also a Buffy fan. Obviously it's a show that dealt with vampires who come out at night, and I was still technically a minor, so I had a great judge who emancipated me so that I could go out to Los Angeles and do the show. Fortunately, I was already out of high school at that time. I guess I've always gotten by with a little help from my friends, in Boston and everywhere else.
What do you like about working with Joss and doing his shows?
ED – First and foremost, I love the guy as a friend. Joss has been a friend, a brother, a teacher, a mentor, but the other obvious thing is just his talent. Joss' skill is so beautiful to me, and he's just wildly creative as well as smart, a feminist, funny, dark, scary and twisted. Joss combines all that and more into such a sweet little package, and he gets me every time.
As great as the show is, as talented as the cast is, and as clever as Joss and his team are, obviously you want people to watch the show, and I'm just wondering, do you think Fox has put the show in a position for that to happen, airing you on Friday night after a comedy?
ED – Well, I think they realized last year that people who wanted to find the show did, and, obviously, there has been a lot of talk about DVR and TiVo and how we really are alive for a second season because of that in a major way. I can see how they would say that people found the show last year, so we're just going to leave it where it is and hope that that continues.
Ratings are obviously important, but, you know, having a professor for a mother, she always taught us about qualitative versus quantitative research. I know we're making a quality show and that we have quality fans and people who tune in experience something different and out of the ordinary. There are so many shows on TV that are instant hits; we're not that, but we have a core following, and I think that people check the show out and aren't intimidated by it. In fact, they find themselves being sucked in pretty easily. It's sharp, intelligent fun. Sometimes it's off-the-wall TV, too, and I know that when I'm spending an hour of my life sitting down to watch the boob tube, I love getting a rich experience out of it. And I've always found that to be true with Joss, in particular, as well as his shows. Having been given a second season, we're just so grateful to the fans and to Fox for giving us another chance, and we're making the most of it.
You and Summer Glau shot a promo last year, and back then your two shows kind of were fighting for the last spot in the line-up. Now that she's part of your show, what's the dynamic like between you and her?
ED – Summer is great. I love her. We've had such a good time during the past two episodes. She has come in with her A-game and is such a sweet, positive and fun actress. Summer is great to play off of. Our characters have some backstory that we have to fight out, and so that's a lot of fun. Also, anyone who's from Joss' past and who he's bringing back to work with, I assume he had a great working relationship with them. He wouldn't bring any bad eggs into our house, so I can always pretty much safely know that we're going to have the cream of the crop coming back and coming in.
You mentioned that Echo was kind of all over the place this year as a character; as an actor, how do you approach that?
ED – It's easier this year because we don't have as much of that sort of 'dumb down Doll' with Echo. She has all these personalities and is the sum of all these parts, including Caroline. At the same time, she's not really any of these personalities, but is, in fact, Echo. There's something grounding in that, and there's a strength in the personality that she's forming through that. Echo is picking and pulling information from all these different people that she's been, and as a result she's coming to understand and form her own ethics and morals. This character is constantly absorbing, thinking and processing, whereas last year she was switching from this dumb down Doll to a singular personality imprint, and it was always a different one. This season, there's something going on inside Echo that's not just what you're seeing on the surface and it's fun for me to play.
It seemed that you guys had such a strong fan base even before the show premiered. Do you guys pay attention to the blog sites and what the fans are saying when you're coming up with how to shape the episodes and the series as a whole?
ED – I know that Joss and I have always paid attention to the fan love, and we love the fans right back, absolutely. I don't know how much he takes tips from the fans when it comes to storylines. On the contrary, from what I've seen, when he sees someone falling in love with a character, he's been known to assassinate that character or do something else terrible to him or her. Maybe that's a blessing in itself, but Joss definitely has a mind of his own. Within the group of writers, they aren't really conformists, I can confidently say. So whether it's fans or critics or studios for that matter, they do their best work when they're sort of left alone and they reveal things as and when they feel they should be revealed. And that goes for me and the other actors as well.
Sometimes it's really exciting for me. I don't want to necessarily know what's going to happen three episodes down the road because it may affect the way I'm playing Echo today. I enjoy the thrill, the adrenaline that comes from reading the next new chapter, and the next layer that Joss reveals is one of the most exhilarating things that I've experienced as an actress.
Is there a particular role or character in an upcoming episode that you're going to play that was hard for you to get into, and if so, why?
ED – Well, I'll tell you, playing a mother was certainly something I hadn't expected. I'm an aunt, and I've always loved other peoples' children and babies, but playing a mother and trying to tap into that maternal instinct was a challenge, but also a thrill, and a beautiful thing, too.
Do you sit down with a script and break it down insofar as how aware Echo is of what's going on with her, or do you just sort of do a scene and see what feels right in how to play it?
ED – We're absolutely breaking it down more this year because those realized moments with my character are much stronger. It's actually been deeper work for me, but, again, it makes the character more interesting and challenging for me to play. I have to say it's been a blessing this year to also be shooting in HD [high-definition] because we have more time,which means i get to spend a lot more time with the material and these characters and their glitches, etc. I feel like that's paying off for me a lot this year, and that my performance has gotten stronger and more honest.
In the season opener with Jamie Bamber there's that scene in the office where he catches me, then bashes my head off the table, and then I end up in that sort of tailspin. I sort of famously now burst into tears in the middle of that scene because it was so emotional, and I now feel this real connection to the character that came from the inception of the show. Joss and I have tried to make this character a little bit based on me where it's this struggle, this battle of who I am. Even with all the pressures of society and things pouring in on me, where does that break and where is my authentic self, and how it feels to stand and live in that. So it's very personal as well as exciting, terrifying and gratifying.
Do you feel like Dollhouse is really about the experience of being an actor living and working, in particular, in Los Angeles, and people expecting you to kind of fulfill their fantasies and the dark side of that? Is that something you feel when playing Echo?
ED – Yes, I absolutely think there's a layer or more of that. When Joss and I had our infamous lunch, that was one of the threads and one of the themes, but I think it also translates to young women all over the world. I was the only girl in a family with three boys, and I remember my mother reading this book called Reviving Ophelia about adolescent girls and the way young women are broken down starting in their teens, where they're starting to get hit from all sides by images in the media and how things start to change in their lives, especially when it comes to their fathers as well as their peers. It's like the spirit of a young woman is so fragile and can be so toyed with and broken. My mother was always aware of that and really tried to fight against it and to teach me how to be comfortable in my own skin and all of that. So when I sat talking about that stuff with Joss, it's so extraordinary that, as a man, he tapped into that in such a profound and intelligent way. I can't think of anyone else that gets that and can create a fantasy show that encompasses such a universal and serious thing in our society. So it's definitely parallel to me and, I feel, to women all over the world.
How much closer will Echo get to rediscovering her true self this season?
ED – Every single episode it's been a little bit more. Again, we're on episode seven now, and in this one we've been building to a real extreme. I'm scared to say too much because I don't want to ruin it for the viewers, but Echo really is becoming an entirely different character in many ways. She's getting further away from Caroline, even though she is Echo's original self. Caroline is there, but Echo is discovering things about her that are unsavory or that are not Echo.
The development of my character has been so exciting and fascinating because of the way Joss and the writers pick pieces from each of her experiences and weave them into this new character. So you'll be seeing a whole new Echo this season who is the sum of all the parts that she's been.
They just released a film you did called Open Graves that kind of flew in under the radar. Can you tell us a little bit about it?
ED – I shot Open Graves in Spain about two-and-a-half years ago, and as is sometimes the case in this business, there are times that movies don't come together at the pace or with the expectation that was initially intended. I actually haven't seen the movie. It premiered on TV when I was in Italy, but I have yet to even watch it on my TiVo. The movie was a cool experience. I was interested in working with the director [Alvaro de Arminan], who had worked very closely with [producer/writer/director] Pedro Almodovar, and I thought the script had some interesting and different Sci-Fi/Horror twists to it. I enjoy working in that genre but it never quite gelled into the movie that I had anticipated, but, again, it happens, but you keep going. You don't quit, and I certainly won't quit that genre.
How much of a factor does (the Dollhouse episode ) Epitaph One play into season two, because it wasn't originally broadcast but is part of the DVD set. Joss Whedon was saying that he'd like to revisit that in the future. Could you tell us a bit about that, please.
ED – Epitaph was so well done and it brought me to tears. Truly, when Joss told me about it, I wondered how the hell he was going to do it, but I was just so impressed and proud of him and everyone involved. It was such a beautiful episode and I think it's a shame that it didn't air here [in the States]. But also the fact that it didn't air was sort of the reason we came back, because they didn't end the story. Getting picked up for a second season, the network probably wanted to pick up where we left off.
I know that in the first episode of this season, Joss originally planned on weaving some of that [Epitaph] into it, but there was already so much to cover. We had Amy Acker [Dr. Claire Saunders], who we're not going to be able to have with us for the entire season, so we had her character's storyline and we had to have a big, fierce engagement. So we took anything to do with it [Epitaph] out, but I do know Joss wants to slice in some stuff into future episodes. I loved the way the future looked, so dark and terrifying, and I hope we see more of it.

GOP debate in N.H.: Newt coins a phrase
During the Republican debate in New Hampshire on Sunday, Newt Gingrich landed the best line of the political season: "Can we drop a little bit of the pious baloney?"
[media-credit name="ABC" align="alignright" width="270″][/media-credit]
Gingrich was referring to Mitt Romney's claim that he is not a professional, lifetime politician. But the comment could apply more broadly to the blah-blah-blah of the entire panel.
The frontrunner, red-eyed Romney, was the target of much of the sniping from his GOP rivals in the debate held two days before the N.H. primary, which kicks off the 20212 primaries. The overall tone was more hostile than in previous debates this year, with Rick Perry and Rick Santorum accusing the others of not being conservative enough.
George Stephanopoulos of ABC News was particularly strong in pushing questions and not backing down in the face of all sorts of baloney, pious and otherwise.

I started my b/g twins on rice cereal when they were about four months of age. Their formula didn't satisfy them as much so once we started solids they were much happier for it. We gradually tried the different baby foods with them after they got introduced to the cereal. They're two years old now.
Kloe - posted on 06/27/2010
you can start your baby on solids at about 4 months if your baby needs it. i had the same problem as you with my son and had to start him early, try him on a tiny bit of baby rice or even jelly only give your baby maybe a spoonful or 2 thats it to start, then just add more and more as your baby needs it.a mother always knows whats best for there child. good luck =]

I started my daughter on rice cereal (spoon fed) at 4months because the doctor recommended it since she stop sleeping through the night. Then at 6months i started giving her oatmeal, and veggies. Then at 7months I gave her fruit. Remember be patient with them they might gag or make sour faces in the beginning but that's there way of getting use to the new change. Be sure to give your baby the same food for 2days so that way if they are allergic to any food you will know which one.

I started weaning my daughter when she was 4 months old as we were reccommended by our health visitor because her weight wasn't steadily increasing and she was hungry ALL the time, 2 hourly feeds (breastfeeding). She could hold her head up fine and she tucked in to the food with no problems at all.

I started around 4/5 months. She would finish her bottle then want more, so we started putting baby rice in her milk. That didnt really seem to fill her up either so onto the little jars =]
she's now 11 months and will eat absolutly anything!!
Amanda - posted on 07/02/2010
4 months. Our pediatrician told us since the baby was taking to his rice cereal very well we were free to give him whatever baby food we would like, and that the whole thing about babies developing food allergies by eating solids before 6 months is a bunch of lies, and also that you dont have to pay attention to if the food is stage 1, 2, 3 etc because all it means is that one is more blended than the other so whatever consistency your baby is fine with is what you should go with. Don't live by what all those baby books say to do, your doctor's approval is all you need.

I started my son with 1 tablespoon of rice cereal in his bottle at 2 months because my pedi told me to because he wasnt getting enough from just his formula he was eating 4ounces every hour so thats whyy he did that. Then at 4 months i started out with veggies then about 3 weeks later i started fruits. It worked great
Kayla - posted on 07/01/2010
My baby was breastfed and sometimes got formula too. I started her on the rice cereal at about 3 almost 4 months. She just couldn't get full. She would nurse all day long if I let her. After she was totally comfortable with the rice cereal i started mixing it with the little number 1 jars of food. Then after that I would just give her the jars. She was a little foodaholic. Every baby is different. Just do what works for you and your baby. If you try solids and it doesn't go well then just try again a little later. Good luck!

My ped started my daughter on cereal at 3 months then introduced fruits for breakfast//dinner and then veggies for lunch and now at 6 months she has started meats for lunch. She has done very well with every new food introduced.

I started my daughter on rice cereal at about 3 1/2 - 4 month of age and started her on other baby foods after 5 months.
Desmine - posted on 06/29/2010
My baby started taking rice cereal about 2 or 3 weeks after she was born because she was going through more then 7 ounces at a time but I did start her off with baby food at 3 and half months, the only thing was not sure she could digest it well so she got fussy when eating it, and she became constipated at one time so i took a break and started it back at 4 months and she was fine. If you do choose to start with food, the baby food with one ingredient in it, and also start off with veggies first, then slowly introduce fruits, maybe mixing it with the veggies then feeding it separate.

my doctor said 6 months
Nichole - posted on 06/29/2010
ok this is what my doctor told me to do and it worked great at 3 months start her on cereal (baby cereal) then 4 months fruits with cereal but only one fruit a week so if she has an allergy u will know what it is at 5 months start veggies one per week 6 months meats one per week then as she gets better at mushing and putting it to the back u can give her the gerber 2 meals and 3 meals u can find them in the store plus on the back of the box it tells u about what age that food is good for ur baby

I went onto feeding when my daughter was 4 months, she was breastfed, but i had to do training and would be away from her between 8 in the morning til 3 in the afternoon as much as we tried she would not take expressed milk from a bottle/sippy cup and because she was such a big baby anyway I went onto solids so she could eat when I wasn't there. She loved it!normally they do no eat that much to begin with she took 4 big table spoonfuls of food- and no I don't mean teaspoon size TABLESPOON size lol. She pretty much went onto take a full large pot of baby rice cereal. She is 6 months has 3 meals and 3--4 breastfeeds a day. She has all types of pureed food. Avacado with bannana, sweetpotato, butternut squash, carrots, parsnips she loves it :) She put on so much weight after being born...7lb 8oz when i was 13 days overdue to 8lb 2 in 5 days, 9lb 3 in 10 days she must have been about 16 pounds when i began feeding her.
Cynthia - posted on 06/28/2010
im doing breast and formula too. If your working your babysitter should be giving your baby food, and formula (thats if you decide to gice her solids) and the time your with your daughter give her breast milk.
I don't work but I give her formula so she can get use to it for when I wanna break and leave her with the grandparents.
from 9pm-11pm i give her breastmilk.
then at 1pm i give her either veggies, or oatmeal for late lunch and milk after she eats so she can drink something.
then at 4:30pm she might want some formula to take a nap.
at 6pm or 7pm she eats fruit or veggies mixed with poultry or meat

Writers' conferences open several valuable opportunities to authors — the chance to learn from peers, to buy books, to network with other writers, to stumble upon new potential markets, etc. But before you sign up for every conference in a 150-mile radius, consider your goals and the conference's agenda. Even a free conference might not be worth what you paid to attend it.
- Have a point for going. Just because a conference pops up doesn't mean you should attend. If you really require guidance about self-editing, for example, a series of panels about writing motivation may not be core to your current needs. Especially for events with several simultaneous sessions, attacking the agenda with a personal content strategy will help you focus session attendance based on your goals.
- Carefully fit your current level of expertise against the base expertise of the speakers. It's frustrating to go to a conference, only to realize at the end that all the material you encountered was just a rehash of what you already understood. Likewise, it's demoralizing to attend sessions with content that's over your head. Read the agenda. If a conference is primarily about pitching an agent, for example, and you've never finished a novel, you aren't probably ready to search for agents — and when you ask very basic questions about manuscript prep, you'll detract from other attendees who don't want to belabor what, to them, might already be obvious. It's not always clear based on short paragraphs in marketing material, just what kind of info you'll encounter — but it's worth asking in advance. Your time, after all, is precious, and most conference organizers are happy to answer questions by email before the event.
- Research the speakers/panelists. You'll learn a lot about the skills and expertise of the on-stage talent by checking their bios. For example, a panel about great poetry, staffed by people with no substantial published poetry, should be a warning sign. Likewise, a panel staffed by publishers will feel very different from a panel staffed by writers, or by editors, or by agents. Not every skillset or genre in the publishing industry is equally adept at helping you meet your goals for attending the conference.
- Take copious notes. Panels are like a box of chocolates: Some of them are larded with yucky coconut, but others are sweet, tasty dark-chocolate truffles. When you stumble across a truffle, you'll kick yourself later if you neglected to bring a notepad or a tablet to record great take-aways. (And you'll wish you had something to doodle on when the coconut people bore you to sleep.)
- Network. Even panels filled with Nobel-winning writers aren't nearly as valuable to you as the benefits you'll get by meeting your peers. Join writing groups. Join critique or review circles. Discuss the tools of the trade. Indulge in serendipitous small-group conversations. Sitting by yourself in the room, without making introductions, deprives you of a core benefit of attending. If you don't want to network, then skip the conference and read a blog about writing!
- Buy books. When a conference includes authors or small presses, consider opening your wallet to buy their material — and it's fair to ask for inscriptions, especially when those authors or editors or publishers are the speakers you find so engaging. Preparing to speak at a conference requires a lot of time for research, preparation and practice; keep those presenters in the speaking circuit by supporting their work. After all, when you publish your novel, don't you want others to buy it? Karma is a wonderful thing.
- Come prepared with your own advocacy materials. If you have a manuscript to shop and you stumble across a friendly publisher or agent, it's better to present a one-pager with a short passage and a synopsis and a brief author bio than to stammer incoherently about your idea or to offer a smooth elevator pitch that omitted one really important detail. And consider investing in author-branded business cards; if you have to write your contact info on a scrap of paper, then odds are good that said scrap will end up in the trash instead of in the recipient's contact list. Attendees who present as professional writers will command more respect than attendees who present as literary tourists.
- Don't mob the speakers. In general, speakers enjoy talking to attendees. But sometimes a speaker needs to prep for the next panel or take a bio break or wolf down a burger. Consider timing your approach to a period of extended downtime, to maximize your face-to-face engagement. No two speakers are the same, but many signs of body language are universal. So when a person looks away repeatedly, or keeps walking, or is obviously trying to do five things simultaneously, a brief introduction with a request to follow-up later might be a better strategy than following a speaker to the bathroom (which, alas, happens).
- Keep hypothetical pitches in reserve. Although many publishers and agents will likely smile and nod, we generally don't accept theoretical submissions on the spot. It may be fair to ask a publisher or agent or editor if he accepts sci-fi or poetry or Steampunk romance, but it's not helpful to take 5 minutes to offer an oral plot synopsis first, especially when other people want to talk to the same person. In general, you'll be asked to read the published editorial guidelines and follow established submission procedures. So simple clarifying questions are usually welcome, but describing your not-yet-written children's book in detail usually doesn't work to your advantage.
- Ask on-point questions during a session. You're there to get value, so get value. Although some conferences feature the same three or four people who ask 80 percent of the questions, if those questions are good, then be one of those people and fire away. The only caveat: Avoid asking a question that changes a panel's subject. If the discussants are explaining ways to tighten an opening paragraph, asking questions like "How do I stay motivated to write when I get distracted by cats" isn't really germane at that point in the panel. Questions that might be legitimate, but not relevant, are usually better reserved for the concluding Q&A or for one-on-one debriefs with panelists after the fact — or as a ready-made icebreaker to meet new friends among your fellow attendees.
- Take feedback forms seriously. Accumulated feedback forms give the speakers a sense on how well they did. An honest rating, coupled with pithy but targeted comments, are a goldmine to a speaker (especially new entrants to the speaking circuit). The best feedback addresses points the presenter did well, or poorly, and are presented constructively and without inserting too much personal opinion. For example, "Consider using a mic next time so the folks in the back can hear" is more actionable than "Couldn't understand the speaker." (Why couldn't you understand?)
- Enjoy yourself. Ask any veteran conference presenter about audiences and you'll likely hear that many attendees seem so intent on wringing every last nanosecond of education from a conference that they somehow forget to have fun. Relax. Ask questions. Laugh. Meet new people. Conferences can be serious business, but they're also a time to sharpen your saw. Have fun while you do it.
If you show up with a spirit of inquiry, you'll likely find value all over the place. If you prefer to have universal, step-by-step answers delivered, you might be disappointed; even craft-oriented conferences emphasize general best practices instead of specific, universal procedures. Keeping a sense of curiosity is crucial. Most conferences are not a good place to seek blanket self-affirmation. Prepare to have your biases challenged and your expectations flipped upside-down. If you welcome such paradigm shifts, even ho-hum conferences will provide a great learning experience.
If you've never attended a conference, try it. At least once. You'll be glad you did.

Philadelphia, PA – Children diagnosed with type 2 diabetes appear to experience a more rapidly progressive disease than people who are diagnosed as adults, with a higher rate of early complications and a relatively early need for combination therapy or insulin, according to research results from the largest, and only, longitudinal study of its kind to date, of children with diabetes, presented at the American Diabetes Association's 72nd Scientific Sessions®.
The Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) study, which was designed to test the efficacy and safety of diabetes medications for young people, was also able to identify which group of children would be able to manage their diabetes and which would face more rapid progression of the disease based on their initial response to metformin treatment. Researchers found that those who had good glycemic control (as evidenced by A1C levels in the normal range) after two to four months on metformin during the pre-randomization period were more likely to maintain that control for at least 48 months than those whose A1C levels were greater than 6.1 percent after the first few months of treatment on metformin.
"The good news is nearly 50 percent of the kids did well on metformin therapy," said Phil Zeitler, MD, PhD, TODAY study Chair and Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado. "For the other 50 percent, we need to focus on what type of treatment is best for them and at this point, the only well-studied option is combination with insulin."
The study was designed to also test the efficacy and safety of rosiglitazone as a treatment for youth with type 2 diabetes, finding that combining metformin with rosiglitazone reduced the need to transition young patients to insulin therapy by 25 percent. However, because use of this drug has since been limited by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration due to safety concerns, researchers said they could not recommend its use in children. Initial results from the TODAY study, showing that nearly 50 percent of youth with type 2 diabetes needed insulin therapy within a few years of diagnosis, were released at the end of April.
"Despite our positive findings that combining metformin with rosiglitazone helped more of these kids to maintain glycemic control, and the fact that we had no safety issues with the patients in our study, we cannot recommend that youth use this therapy because rosiglitizone is essentially off the market today," said Investigator Lori Laffel, MD, MPH, Chief of the Pediatric, Adolescent and Young Adult Section at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston. "We can clearly say this disease is different in kids and we need to be more aggressive about beginning multiple therapies to preserve beta cell function and to prevent deterioration of A1C and blood glucose levels."
What those therapies should be, however, must be the focus of future investigations.
The TODAY study results emphasize the critical need for new treatments for youth by revealing the high rate of co-morbidities that manifest within a relatively short duration of living with the disease. Nearly one-third of the children in the study exhibited high blood pressure by the end of the study's mean follow-up of just under four years (compared to just 12 percent at the beginning of the study); and close to 17 percent exhibited elevated urinary albumin levels, an early marker of kidney disease (up from six percent at the beginning of the study). Roughly 13 percent of those in the study exhibited signs of eye disease, "which is relatively high after such a short duration of disease," Laffel said.
"The biggest concern with diabetes is the consequences in terms of cardiovascular disease and microvascular disease and these kids are at very high risk at young ages," Zeitler said. "Within the next 10-20 years, many of these kids will have substantial health problems. This suggests a major health burden in the future."
The TODAY study looked at 699 youth with type 2 diabetes at 15 health centers across the U.S., with a follow-up period of two to six years. Patients were between 10 and 17 years old when entered into the study and had been diagnosed within the past two years. They were separated into three treatment arms: one treated with metformin only; one with metformin plus rosiglitazone; and one with metformin plus intensive lifestyle changes. There was no difference in results between the metformin-only group and those who also received an intensive lifestyle change program.

Modern era is the era of development and innovation and like all other industries cosmetic industry as well is making innovations. One of the latest cosmetic innovations is Airbrush Foundation. Firstly it wasn't in the reach of everyone and the TV and film celebrities used to take advantage of this latest cosmetic but now everyone has easy access to it. It keeps your makeup fresh for more or less 16 hours and gives a perfect finish to the skin.
Airbrush Foundation Application
The way of its working is that little quantities of airbrush foundation are squirted over the skin with a compressor and a makeup wand. It is sprayed-out under a course of air to mask the skin with its thin layer. Customized foundation is used in the airbrush makeup.
The airbrush kit contains a container with a compressor, a wand and a tube for connecting the two with each other. The container is filled by a mixture of water and customized foundation which is then sprayed over the skin with the airbrush wand. The skin as well as any skin imperfections is covered by foundation which the compressor disperses in the form of pixel sized drops. It's a guaranteed way to get a perfect skin.
Benefits of Airbrush Foundation
The durability of airbrush makeup is more than the normal makeup; it lasts upto 16 hours without rub-off. Airbrush foundation is hygienic when the makeup is shared because its parts don't touch the skin; it is perfect for camouflaging hefty areas of skin such as burn blemishes and tattoos etc as well as for making other skin imperfections such as wrinkles and chuckle lines.
Airbrush foundation base renders the user a translucent and natural look and no translucent powder is needed to set it.

The folks over at Fox News - Sean Hannity in particular - have gotten a lot of mileage out of the 'fish vs. farmers' kerfuffle in California's San Joaquin Valley. Comedian Paul Rodriguez has also weighed in on the issue, supporting Latino farmers and their group, the Latino Water Coalition, which is not so much a 'grassroots' organizaton as it is a front for agricultural lobbyists.
Here is Alex Leo's take.
The other night Jon Stewart took Hannity to task, schooling him on some history, the food chain, and a few other items.
Check out the video clip.

"The government should stop meddling in the business of the farmers, who would actually still be living in a desert if not for government meddling." -- Jon Stewart

They've been called everything from NextGen to GenY to YoYo children but no matter what you call them, some of them are having a tough time in this economy. Almost 20% of them have chosen to move back in with family until things get better.
While it may seem that this would not be something that most parents would relish, many are opening their homes and in some cases even buying new homes designed for just this situation. In fact a recent survey found that 82% of the extended families found they have stronger bonds than they ever had.
Lennar Homes, one of the country's biggest homebuilders has introduced a new line of homes called the NextGen featuring floor plans with NextGen living areas similar to the old mother-in-law suites of the past.
If Lennar has chosen to invest time, marketing, money and sales efforts into pursuing this growing market, you have to ask the question...Are any modular factories gearing up for this new type of home?
It would not be hard to do for modular home factories. Just dust off those old "mother-in-law suite" and "two master bedroom" floor plans, tweak them for today's buyers and "Viola!"... a new line of homes for today's customer.
If your factory is working on these floor plans or already has a line of homes designed for this market, please let Modcoach know so I can do an article featuring your homes.

The moment you think of Cartoons you go back in your "Childhood days". Before the army of Satellite channels were introduced only Doordarshan was available and it was ever so famous as they used to telecast cartoon and animated shows for the Indian audience. It was full dhamaal for the Kids. I still remember the days when we used to wait for Duck Tales, Talespin, Jungle Book, Chip and Dale , Tenali raman, Flash gordon, Denice the menace and many other cartoon shows. The list is endless and the fun too was unlimited. Doordarshan was the only channel till 1995 that had managed to put a big smile on the faces of kids.
But soon things were about to change, in fact about to get more interesting. Cartoon Network started broadcast in India as the dual-channel TNT & Cartoon Network in 1995 with Cartoon Network initially operating from 5:30 a.m to 5:30 p.m, with Turner Classic Movies (formerly TNT) taking up the remainder of the daily schedule. Later the time slice of Cartoon Network was increased up to 9 p.m and as the popularity raised, on 1st July 2001, Cartoon Network India became a separate 24-hour channel. This meant more shows for kids, more variety of cartoon characters.
Following are some of the popular shows on Cartoon Network:
– Swat Kats
– Jonny Quest
So we are done with 2 channels who have managed to entertain the kids, so let's find out more such channels. Next in line is Disney Channel India. Disney Channel began broadcasting in India in 2004. The Channel is very popular among Children between 5–17 years of age. Disney Shows are available in English, Hindi, and sometimes Telegu. And on top of that Disney Channel India airs movies at 11am IST and 7pm IST on weekends.
Following are some of the popular shows aired on Disney Channel:
– Akkad Bakkad Bambey Bo
– Hanuman
– Ducktales
Now its time for a channel whose name itself might make you smile 😉 Yes you guessed it right "POGO". It was launched on 1 January 2004,primarily shows animated programming and some live-action shows. Annually, it also showcases Pogo Amazing Kids Awards which are held in parts of India and children with nurtured talent are nominated for many categories. All shows are available in English and Hindi. Some shows are also available in Tamil.
Following are some of the popular shows aired on POGO :-
– Mr. Bean: The Animated Series
– Time Squad
– The Smurf
Hang on, there is more, let's check out Nickelodeon India. It is a Television Channel devoted to children in India. It was first started in 1999 by Viacom International and currently Viacom 18. Nickelodeon India is an English Pay TV channel, with the option of a Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. Nick India contains a lot of cartoon programmes that appeal to children such as SpongeBob SquarePants and Ninja Hattori-kun. Besides that, educational shows for toddlers, like Dora The Explorer, are featured in Nick India's pre-school block.
Some more, Dont worry just sit back a enjoy the shows 🙂 Next on the list we have Hungama TV. The only local kids' 17 hours Hindi Entertainment channel in India, Hungama TV has been on high heels since its inception and now it has reached the second position in kids channel genre. It hosts two of the most popular shows of Japan, Doraemon and Shinchan, which is, probably, the key to its popularity. It has also introduced language feeds in Telugu and Tamil.
Next on the list we have Animax India. This is a Japanese anime broadcasting television channel in India and currently airs in English 24 hours a day. This channel is a part of Japanese media and Sony. It is also the first animation channel to be targeting from age 13-35 and the only channel to show a lot of anime programmings. Animax began operations across India and the rest of South Asia from 5 April 2004.
And finally we have Toon Disney. It was an American cable television channel owned by The Walt Disney Company. A spinoff of Disney Channel, it mostly aired children's animated series and some live action programming. Its format had similarities to those of Cartoon Network and Nicktoons. The channel's target audience was children between 2–12, and 7-14 during its nighttime block called Jetix.
Looking at the long list of channels for kids, i am sure you too might want to be kids again. There is a lot of variety of channels and shows for kids of different age groups. So which is your favorite cartoon character? Is it from the Doordarshan days, or the latest ones?
Happy Viewing.
