Not impressed
"I was very unimpressed with these boots. I found that the boots were quite narrow on the boarder of tight. The most annoying part of the shoe was that the crease was right at the toe line so there was already a line forming in just the couple minutes I spent walking around. I returned these and would not recommend them."

"The boots look amazing, sleek and sexy. However, I should have ordered a half size up and perhaps a wide. Overall, they are great and well constructed and will look great with pants and jeans. I may end up exchanging them for a wider size but I am definitely keeping them!"

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
If one has taken a moment out of their busy, busy life to attend a volleyball game at Emery High School, one would find a Spartan volleyball team that is currently playing exciting, focused team volleyball that just maybe is some of the best at Emery High School in quite a while.
This Spartan team played a pair pf preseason games at home last week and decisively defeated a pair of 3-A teams in the Spartan Center.
On Tuesday, Emery defeated Canyon View in three straight games 25-23, 25-22 and 28-26. On Thursday, Emery defeated perennial power Carbon High in four games 25-22, 22-25, 25-13 and 26-24.
After watching the team play the past several weeks, it was not a surprise that they won. This team seems to have their so-called act together. They are serving well, they are defending the net well, they react well as a team on almost every play, they are fun to watch and it is easy to get caught up in them.
In both matches last week, Emery won the final game in overtime to win the match. In volleyball, the first team to 25 points wins if they lead by at least two points. In these two games, Emery had to score more than that to get the victory.
In each final game, the visiting team had the opportunity to win but those teams could not put away this Spartan team. It was almost as if they didn't realize that they could lose. They maintained their composure and took the victories which easily could have gone a different way.
It is evident that the team, as a whole and individually, have been working on a jump serve and this year's team is serving well. It has long been a pet peeve of mine to see volleyball teams that could not get the ball over the net on a serve. I didn't understand how they couldn't do that simple little task. Well this team can do that task and with a little bit of authority.
Kaitlyn Thompson, in game one against the Falcons, served eight straight points to help Emery go from being down at 21-14 to being up 23-21. Thompson also did this a week ago and I inadvertently left her out of the story, ignoring her value to the team and so my apologies to her.
Brittany Fauver and Jessica Guymon also had times where they served extremely well and the team scored multiple points while they were serving.
Besides the two games that Emery won in overtime to win the matches last week, Emery went to the final moments before winning in every game but one, the third Carbon game that they won easily.
In game one against Canyon View, the two teams were tied at 23-23. In game two, the two teams were tied at 22-22. In game one against Carbon, Emery was up 24-17 before hanging on to win 25-22. This Emery team does not allow situations bother them in their quest to win.
The starting six of this team are seniors Brittany Fauver, Catherine Dyer and Laurel Roundy plus juniors Shelby Allred, Hailee Rogers and Jessica Guymon. Kaitlyn Thompson is a senior that holds down the Libero position. All are contributors to the team.
Emery will play at Union this Tuesday.

They do good work, they communicate well, they are priced fair and they go above and beyond. One year I was in an accident and brought my car in to get the steering and suspension realigned. When I picked it up they had popped out the dent in the bumper purely out of goodwill given they aren't a body shop and it was free of charge. If the check engine light is on and the diagnostic is something silly like a loose gas cap they will turn off the light and wave the diagnostic fee. If it is something that needs to be repaired the $90 price of the diagnostic is applied towards the repair. Given all the times I've brought my car to them I've only had one incident where some lug nuts were loose after a tire rotation. They were immediately apologetic and reimbursed me. I can't say enough good things about this place. When you walk in you will see many hand written thank you notes from other equally grateful and happy customers. When places like Jiffy Lube are scamming customers by cutting corners and selling unnecessary services it feels good to have a trustworthy mechanic.

The longest wait was for parts from Mini USA, but they were able to have everything done very fast. The car came back spotless, and the price was much less than the dealer. They also accepted my extended dealer warrenty that I purchased when I bought my car with no problems.

She had the opportunity to work with many wonderful doctors, including going into the mines with the doctors to assist injured miners. In the early days when doctors were not available, she delivered babies and sutured cuts.
After the hospital in East Carbon was closed, she worked as a nurse in Price until her retirement. She was an active member of the Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in Price.

"Purchased the shoes in pewter. They have a green/purple sheen that is very subtle and a nice change-up from the usual black pump.Pleasantly surprised at just how comfortable these shoes are after a day of standing/walking at work.Material for the upper is thinner than other more expensive pumps, but for the price, it is a nice texture and color."

Very nice but......
"These shoes are really fashionable and I love how they look on my feet. I was a little disappointed however when I realised that the insole was not cut properly so a piece was hanging out. Also, I could feel where the heel attaches to the shoe on the right foot; this made walking a little uncomfortable. They look good but the quality of the shoe was not as expected."

|A soft co-poly string by most standards, but relatively crisp compared to other strings in the Polyfibre line, Poly Hightec offers excellent control and impressive comfort thanks to its superior elasticity. This durable string holds tension well for a co-poly monofilament and offers a controlled response throughout its string life.
Due to the soft and elastic nature of this string, Polyfibre recommends stringing with 2 to 4lbs more tension than a basic polyester string.

Calif. Senate OKs transgender protections
Fri Jul 25, 8:11 PM ET
Ellen Maremont Silver, Gay.com / PlanetOut.com Network
SUMMARY: The California Senate passed a groundbreaking bill on Thursday that makes it illegal to discriminate against transgender people in housing and employment.
The California Senate passed a groundbreaking bill on Thursday that makes it illegal to discriminate against transgender people in housing and employment. AB 196 adds "gender identity or expression" to sex and other characteristics that are already protected by the state's Fair Employment and Housing Act.
The bill, passed by the Assembly in April by a 41-34 vote, now goes to Gov. Gray Davis (news - web sites), who is expected to make a decision in approximately two weeks. The Senate vote was 23-11 along strict party lines: All in favor were Democrats, all opposed were Republicans.
Assemblyman Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, authored the bill. Equality California, the state's GLBT advocacy organization, worked closely with the five-member legislative GLBT caucus to achieve passage of the bill.
Sen. Sheila Kuehl, D-Santa Monica, one of the bill's co-authors and a caucus member, called AB 196 "a simple matter of civil rights. California law already protects against hate crimes based on gender stereotyping, and protects students and teachers from discrimination or harassment on this basis. ... We should not tolerate such arbitrary discrimination that can lead to the problems of unemployment and homelessness among those who are perceived as different."
The San Francisco Department of Public Health (news - web sites) reported 70 percent unemployment among transgender people in 1999, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
AB 196 allows employees to dress consistent with their gender identity as long as they meet reasonable workplace appearance standards. It is endorsed by more than 50 business, religious and civil rights organizations, from the California Labor Federation to the California Apartment Association. As expected, conservatives have criticized the measure.
If Davis signs the bill into law, California will join Minnesota, New Mexico and Rhode Island in explicitly prohibiting gender identity-based discrimination. Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and the District of Columbia have statutes that have been interpreted to protect transgender people in certain circumstances. No federal law protects GLBT individuals in the workplace, but activists and organizations including the Human Rights Campaign are developing one.
At this rate in, a few years, we'll be begging Mexico to take California.
Define "reasonable..."
This is just idiotic, IMHO...the normal folks out there better get to work and oust more than just the "fruitcake" governor!!!
Looks like a lot of other states have their own fruitcakes and nuts and are infecting California.
How? Close the California borders? Bomb the place off the planet? Declare independence for them...the sovereign country of California?
This is the modern day equivalent of fiddling while Rome burned.
I bet the plumber's union put them up to this as a way of stimulating new restroom construction in office buildings. I've seen this movie, and I know that the women will not accept "her" in their bathroom, and the men don't want "her" in their bathroom either. It's an ugliness that keeps on giving.
The liberal plan is to eliminate regular folks. They cause too many problems for the state. Too independent and not malleable enough.
Laughing my a$$ off!!!!!
Although Davis is pathetic, he has partners in crime in the legislature.
Looks like a lot of other states have their own fruitcakes and nuts and are infecting California.
Notice Arizona isn't in that list. That said, our new bulldyke governor would love it. Pray our legislature stays Republican!
It's too late. The infection is everywhere now, lbeit more rampant in some locales. Taken a look at SCOTUS rulings lately?
Now, now, who are you to judge? Are you transgender phobic? After all, they're not bothering you. Some people are different and we need to accept all of our differences, and we must teach our children to accept them too. Remember, civil rights for trans genders are the same as civil rights for people that are Black or Hispanic or Asian, right?
There. I think I pretty much have their mantra down.
The last one gets me the most. How dare they compare themselves to a beautiful innocent child that God created.

Teaching interests
I primarily teach in the M.S. Cellular and Molecular Biology program that I created for the University in 1995. My favorite courses are Cell Culture Techniques with Laboratory, Cellular Biology and Protein Biochemistry and Enzymology, although I have taught nearly all of the core courses in the program at one time or another.
When I teach undergraduate courses, my favorite classes are Cell Biology, Developmental Biology and Histology. These are classes that all emphasize the actions of individual cells in the maintenance of the entire organism. Fully understanding each of these topics is very important in understanding current pharmaceutical and medical advancements.
In the lectures, I stress problem solving and the ability to apply the material that students learn in the course. I feel this is critical to being a strong scientist and while this is tough for students at first, it makes our students very strong when they complete the program. In the classes with laboratories, I go beyond this to also insist that student become technically proficient in basic skill related to the lab. For example, by the end of the Cell Culture course and the Cell Biology Laboratory, our students are very strong at mammalian cell culture techniques and trouble shooting. This has been very helpful to them as they have developed after our program.

Ok, I have to know-is that little 10 a footnote? Because what does the footnote say and what were the first 9?? Or is it that you are a Babe to the 10th power? Or are you Babe #10, as in he made cards for 9 other babes too and this is how he keeps you straight? Just seeking clarification here.
PS, showed this to my husband and he said "what? I didn't make a card but I feel the same way about you." Thanks husband o' mine.

|In response to Re: Convert ejector pit for floor drain to sewage for toilet
You should only use a pump if the house drain is not deep enough to make the connection to the bathroom. A pump has the potential to get plugged up, the motor can burn out, or the switch can fail. All, or any, of which will cause the pump basin to overflow.

Not So GoodI was very disappointed in this clipless iron because I couldn't get a curl after trying several times. Plus, after burning myself twice I decided it was time to return it. Overrated.

Best Curling Wand I Have Used!This curling wand it great for big loose curls. My sister has the Bombay hair curling wand but I have found that the Sedu curls hold longer and are less prone to frizz. I have great bodied curls the day of which loosen to a nice wave by the next day. It's heats up really quickly too! I wouldn't recommend the 1.5 inch barrel to people with hair any shorter than shoulder length.Jan 10, 2016Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Great Shine & Lasting WavesSo, first off, a nod to Folica customer service: When this curling wand arrived, I found out (the hard way- OUCH) that the heat resistant glove had a hole in the index finger. I called Folica and they sent out a new one immediately!
To the iron itself: I have owned a number of traditional curling irons, most recently two Gold N Hot (a 1.5" and a 2") in the search for beautiful waves. I could never master the wavy look with these and thus retired them to the unused hair tools bin. I also have a BaByliss Nano Titanium conical iron that left me with a smaller curl at the ends of my hair than at the root - weird, right? No matter what technique I tried, neither the clip curling irons or the conical iron gave me the results I wanted.
Then I took a chance on the Sedu Revolution Clipless iron. I got the 38mm (1.5") because I am not looking for curls, just big waves and some volume.
I tried it the day it came in with no heat, curl or hair spray just to see how long they would last. The very first thing I noticed is that the waves were SHINY (something that never happened with other irons, even flat irons). The second is that the waves lasted two days despite sleeping on them. Granted, the fell out a bit, but my hair had a nice bend to it and retained volume.
Since then I've tried the hot heat setting (my hair is coarse but relaxed, so I shy away from the highest heat setting on styling tools) as well and I had waves in a shorter amount of time but they were still quite shiny. I've also tried it with various texture sprays (applied to the roots AFTER the waves are set) and hair sprays.
I won't be using this every day to save my hair from too much heat, but I'm VERY tempted to!
The following section is YMMV, so take what I say as you will:
A quick not about curls vs waves: There are different methods to wrapping your hair around irons in general (either twisted or flat or a combination of both) that will yield you different result. Both the size of the barrel and the size of the section of hair you use will also yield different results. Also, the way you hold the iron (horizontal vs vertical) will give you different looks. What's popular now, "beachy" hair is NOT a curly look, it's a wavy look. Curls have more of a ringlet look (where the hair will curl around to meet itself) whereas wavy hair will fall and not meet itself.
This iron can give you waves in varying sizes, but it's unlikely to give you curls. The reason is that the ends of the hair are left out (you'll be holding the end in your hands - with the glove on, of course, unless you like to live dangerously) instead of having the ends wrapped up against the barrel as with a traditional curling iron. You CAN hold the ends up against the barrel for waves all the way to the ends of your hair, but this iron gets HOT so I recommend you do this in the last few seconds of each section you are waving.
That said, experiment with the times each section of hair is waved and the amount of hair in each section.
More tips: Let the wave completely cool before you do anything with it! And to maintain length, I start wrapping the hair about 1/2 way down the hair instead of closer to the root in the under layers of my hair. (The top layers are wrapped about 1/3 of they way down or even closer to the root to give volume). I also brush out the underneath layers of the hair (again, AFTER the waves have cooled) and finger-comb the top layers. I apply a texurizing spray to the roots after I've done all the waves by taking a rat tail comb to gently lift the top sections of my hair and apply the spray if I'm going for a big, glam look. Other than that, I use a flexible hair spray (I hate crunchy hair) lightly all over then gently scrunch it in (again - AFTER the waves have cooled)

Love It!Curled my hair and lightly sprayed it on the afternoon of July 4th. Was outside all afternoon, evening. Slept on it and got up the next morning and tossed my head upside down and tossed my hair a little, and the curls were still there! I did nothing to it and walked out the door.

So Far Loving It!I have only used the Sedu Clipless Curling Iron a few times but I am definitely happy with it. I was hesitant because of the price, but I had purchased a cheap $30 one and had horrible results. So I decided to give the Sedu a try. I have naturally curly hair but I straighten it a lot and then use a curling iron to achieve those beach curls (as my natural curls are half wavy half ringlet and sometimes frizzy). I found that I could use this iron with my straight hair AND even my curly hair. It held the curls so well even after a day or two. And it def gave me the beachy waves I've been wanting. I definitely use a smoothing cream or serum, just because my hair naturally has fly-aways and can frizz. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is I have only used it twice, so I am not sure how long it will last and I have not played around much with it, but I LOVE IT and do not regret spending a little more for a great product!Jul 13, 2015Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling Iron

Location Of Temp ControlsI LOVE my Sedu flat iron...so naturally I wanted to try the clipless curling iron. The biggest disappointment for me on the curling iron is the location of the temperature controls. The placement of them makes it such that your fingers hit them and change the temperature of the iron. It was so frustrating to me that I sadly returned this product.Jan 6, 2015Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling Iron

Wow, There Is HopeGot this as bonus with flatiron purchase here on Folica several months ago and just used it for the first time today. Didn't expect much, as I've tried several of these products with varying results in the past, but nothing life shattering. So, when I styled my hair as usual, using this on towel dried hair before blow dry, and saw and felt the results I was amazed. Actually, I was perplexed at first, since my hair was so smooth and shiny and soft -- unlike my usual frizzy, pouffy dull mess -- and I couldn't figure it out. I had forgotten for a moment that I had just tried this for the first time, and was just admiring the effect, and then realized what the difference was....this Sedu anti-frizz/argan oil treatment. I had nearly given up and resigned myself to my brittle, dry, lack luster hair, but now am actually excited to think that there might be hope. And I don't exaggerate in describing the state of my hair -- which in addition is also colored (75% gray). I have NEVER had a product so transform the condition, shimmer and actual feel of my hair so immediately and dramatically before. And, as many have said, there is something about how it seems to absorb just the right amount for perfect coverage, and without using more than a touch. This should last a while, can't wait for continued results.Dec 2, 2014Sedu Anti-Frizz Polishing Treatment with...HAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Pete Carroll and Mark Sanchez have known each other since the Jets quarterback was in high school. And Carroll, a former Jets head coach now head coach of the Seahawks, got to know Sanchez fairly well during the three seasons Sanchez played for him at USC.
Carroll said yesterday he doesnt know how easy it will be for Sanchez to contend with the tidal wave that is Tim Tebow and Tebowmania.
Its not easy, Carroll told reporters at the NFL owners meetings in Palm Beach, Fla. Its tough. Its a challenging situation. He cant brush it off. ... Its a challenging predicament. The other guy is going to play some so that means [Sanchez] is not.
Hes no different than anybody else. He wants to play, and hes going to fight for that.
Carroll also said the situation is going to be tough on Rex Ryan and the Jets coaching staff.
How are they going to know if the guy sitting on the bench is able to come in and win that game? Carroll said. Theyve both done it. Theyre both come-from-behind guys. Theyve both overcome odds and issues.
Its going to be fascinating to see how Rex does it. If anybody can figure this out, Rex can figure it out.

Skip to comments.Edward Snowden asks Ecuador for asylum
Posted on 06/23/2013 10:42:54 AM PDT by SgtBilko
Edward Snowden, the former US intelligence contractor who leaked classified documents revealing US internet and phone surveillance, has asked Ecuador for asylum.
The request was confirmed by Ecuador's foreign minister on Twitter.
Mr Snowden had fled the US for Hong Kong but flew out on Sunday morning and is currently in Moscow.
(Excerpt) Read more at bbc.co.uk ...
Wonder if obama will send fighters to intercept and force it to land here?
Wouldnt be surprised.
Ecuador is great. Exotic locations should increase the film rights that he will get for his story.
Oliver Stone is a bit disappointed however, he was hoping that Venezuela stuff was true.
Kook alert!
On the side of strict protection of privacy are people like Sens. Lee and Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, and Matt Drudge, and liberal figures like filmmaker Michael Moore and Glenn Greenwald, who has broken many of the stories relating to the leaks.
The other side those defending surveillance practices is President Barack Obama (he shifted his stance as president) John Boehner, Nancy Pelosi, Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Joe Klein, Jeffrey Toobin, Charles Krauthammer.
Is a white Ford Bronco involved in this chase yet?
Waste of money. One bullet would do it
I thought that he said he didn't care what happened to him? If his revelations about domestic spying were really based on principle, then why did he leave Hong Kong and not battle it out in the courts, instead choosing to flirt with this country's enemies?
Ecuador is not anybody's enemy.
Tomorrow's headline: "Plane heading for Ecuador goes down in storm."
Ecuador is not anybody's enemy.
It's likely he didn't feel he'd get a fair shake. From what I've seen lately it's certainly not inconceivable he wouldn't.
I would, if I were the pilot, with a bunch of people on board in addition to Snowden, with no beef with the USA, just play chicken. They might radio to him, they have gone hot, "turn around, you will be shot down", but Obama hasnt the b*lls to do it and he knows he risks impeachment for pulling such a stunt such as shooting down what will probably be a commercial airliner filled with other passengers. Nope, as the pilot, I would just keep on my sweet way to Quito and flip them the bird. In international aviation there is not a thing they can do about it. Obama would never issue the order.
Wife and I are looking into retiring there in the next year or so.
Bad news to say he has laptops with him with lots more info. No doubt even Ecucador would like to mine those for useful propaganda.
Maybe he has more than one possible destination to confuse any intercept.
Tell that to KAL 007. What happened to the soviets? zip.
Just like the IRS can't -
Oh wait...
I hear Iceland is really nice, but - it's not called Ice Land for no reason. I can see Ecuador, especially up in the mountains.
Snowden may not find "freedom of the Press" as much as he hopes.... as of Friday the Ecuador Legisters passed a bill curtailing that...
"The law creates a Superintendency of Information and Communication, with the power to"
- regulate the news media
- investigate possible violations
- impose potentially hefty fines
It creates a five-member Council for the Regulation and Development of Information and Communication, led by a representative 'of the president', to oversee the news media.
Just check out the highly suspicious death of Michael Hastings.
Ecuador is run by a Socialist clown in the same vein as Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro.
S! can see Russia!
It is not about the climate, it is about his security.
Snowden is a pawn in the new cold war.
Warm climes may be desirable for cold war warriors in exile but it did not work all that well for Trotsky.
He simply safer on some island in the North Atlantic than anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere.
If he really wants to stick it to the U.S. government, he should consider suicide. Who would believe it was really a suicide?
In 1985 National Security staffer Ollie North ordered commercial airliner over Mediteranean to be forced by US fighters to land in Sicily. That had the alleged Achille Lauro highjacker Abul Abbas on board.
I always felt that was a total violation of international law, but North and Reagan (as much as I otherwise respect them) were heralded as gutsy by many. Of course the libs and media hated it then (as I did). But if Bambi did it now, they would love it (and I would still hate it).
<...."why did he leave Hong Kong and not battle it out in the courts, instead choosing to flirt with this countrys enemies?".....>
Because Assange is in charge and working this entire orchestration....Snowden's in over his head willingly or not..I tend to think he was a computer nerd Assad got wind of/ or plantsed... so Assange is enjoying being back on stage Himself again...
...money's pouring into Wikileaks again...they were loosing mega amounts prior...Assange had to do something to gain the
World's Attention for that is his goal and plan in order to remain "in business".
From an interview..
Where does Assange see WikiLeaks in 10 years?.....
"It's not what I want the world to be. .....It's what I want the rest of the world to be," ......he replies. (Follow Me)
How he defines national security:
....''We don't,' he says crisply.... "We're not interested in that. ........ We are a supranational organisation..... So we're not interested in national security.''
Assange states...."We're an international organisation. We deal with international problems,''
The Chinese and the Russians don't give a rat's a$$ if the NSA is spying on American citizens. If Snowden had any intelligence value for them he would not have been allowed to leave. The bottom line here is that Snowden didn't reveal anything they didn't already know.
Of course zip. And fact is, KAL 007 was very deeply in Soviet Airspace over the time, over the Sakhalin Peninsula. This aircraft the Snowden will take to Ecuador I assume will go nowhere near US airspace, should be in international most of the time, with transit over other nations' airspace. If Obama shot down a loaded public commercial airliner with many others aboard just to get to one man, there would be absolute holy hell to pay for it, believe me, mark my words. Worldwide.
>>>Tell that to KAL 007. What happened to the soviets? zip.<<<
Pretty irrelevant. KAL007 stranded into their restricted airspace and they've misidentified it as an RC-135.
All of the above are rarely possible today.
"Just check out the highly suspicious death of Michael Hastings."
Indeed. It appears that Snowden is engaging in PSYOPS against our government.
As for the "one bullet would take care of it" crowd, I'd like to know what these people would do if they worked in an environment where daily abuses of their fellow citizens privacy and the mass collection of private data were collected and disseminated, in direct contradiction to the U.S. Constitution and our Bill of Rights?
Remain silent and allow the abuse to continue unfettered?
Sorry, but if that's the case, I would consider Snowden the Patriot as opposed to those who would choose silence as some form of perverse duty. Duty to what and who?
That may change, depending on how Snowden acts going forward, but as of today, that man is a hero in my opinion.
"Plane heading for Ecuador goes down in storm.
One can only hope...
see my link in post 26
According to all the "experts" in the msm and government, this stupid high school drop out can't outsmart the CIA, FBI, DOJ, NSA, DHS, etc etc....right???
He crossed the line into treason by doing that.
So he goes to Ecuador, a neighboring country to Colombia (main source of cocaine through Mexico to US) and a country which notably uses the US Dollar as it's currency.
Highly malleable country Ecuador and the dollar connection, well it is too cute in re: bargaining and lining one's pockets. With good relations with the Chi-coms, notably.
Snowden is yet another self appointed ethics hustler, and part of the wikileaks team, along with Assange who is currently residing in the Ecuadorian London embassy. My opinion, whole thing a chicom op, including wikileaks. We are no longer as free, thanks to these, their money loans their militarism, their lack of religious freedom—the new china, same as the old. Let's see if he gets to Ecuador and stays there very long.
I despise the "my country right or wrong" mentality;when you believe your country is wrong you should not have to just accept it. By such "reasoning: any German who didn't support the Nazi government whole-heartedly was a traitor.Yet which stance is better?
I am certain there are many dark secrets of American government that need to be exposed and the power of government cut back.
I suppose now they will come shoot my dog and stomp my cat to death .
But I should be GLAD just to be allowed to be "free" ?
What today's Americans accept as free,pre-1861 Americans called tyranny! (I denote the action of governments in forcibly drafting men into the armies as a sure sign a society is not free.)
<...."Snowden is a pawn in the new cold war"....>
He's Assange's "puppet" for the time being...Snowden was likely planted by Assange, who had to do something to get back on the "world Stage" of interfering in Nation states and affecting the outcomes of those he chooses to intervene in.
Russia's enjoying playing 'O' in this.....Putins basically saying He has "more flexability after the election"...
Assange has bases in Iceland and Kenya....possibly Siberia....not sure how Ecuador plays into that Equation but Assange certainly has pull there.
Rather ironic, considering that Ecuador's extreme leftist president is in the process of getting a gag-law passed through his rubber-stamp legislature, directed entirely at muzzling the press.
Did some research. There are no direct flights from moscow to either Quito nor Guayaquil. The closest international flight would be via Amsterdam, the netherlands. So i guess he'll get a special purpose direct flight on either a russian or ecuadorian government airliner.
"why did he leave Hong Kong and not battle it out in the courts, instead choosing to flirt with this countrys enemies?"
He wouldn't get a fair and public trial. He would get a secret trial in a secret court, without a jury. Why ? Because they don't care about the constitution. The only way to survive is to flee into a independent country that has no extradition treaty with the US. That drastically reduces the number of places where he could go to.
"Oh wait..."
That's just the point where the brits come into the game.
The NSA is allowed to gather data about us citizens. They're not allowed to examin that data. BUT: The NSA is allowed to forward ALL gathered information to the british MI5. The MI5 examines that data on demand by the NSA. The perfect legal loop hole ....
Yep..and with Assange calling those shots. Snowden is soooo in over his head...the only thing he can do is continue as is planned for him by Assange....who obviously has much to gain by using his "puppet".
Hastings was much more dangerous than Fast Eddie.
All the information that Fast Eddie has is most likely operational information about how we spy.
Hastings was dangerous because he was looking into botched shipments of American arms out of Benghazi that most likely ended up in the hands of Syrian rebels who were not from Syria.
This is highly embarrassing stuff for our first African American POTUS and our soon to be first female POTUS.
Part of the cover-up was bloodlessly taking down the Director of the CIA the old-fashioned way with a sex scandal.
If Snowden knew the secrets that Hastings was attempting to find but most likely had not gotten his hands on, he would have been a dead body discovered in a Hong Kong hotel room with a suicide note.
That Law "quickly" passed Friday....convenient uh?
Your Tin Foil hat be heavier than mine. I have got to get me some of that heavy duty Reynolds Wrap.
I agree that Assange may now be his puppet master, but I cannot give Assange the credit from orchestrating this from the beginning.
Snowden has to "pay to play" in Assanges ball park.....exposing Britains Security Program was Assanges poke in the face of London not allowing him to leave the Ecuador Embassey there....Snowden had to give him that documentation.....others as well which Assange will use when he wants to intervene in International Affairs.
Snowden is nothing but a computer nerd who now sees he's running for his life in a Geo-political game that he had no clue of the powers that would come to bear....but he's learning!
From the reports I've seen he flew commercial on each leg of the trip. Probably a smart move as making a private jet go away wouldn't bother Obama.
Either or...Assange saw an opportunity to be front page again...it's working...and the revenues are once again pouring into Wikileaks and he's got the stage...Snowden's just the pawn he's moving on the gameboard.
However...it is possible Assange located Snowden early on...which would explain Snowdens "Short" employments at CIA and other International travels he had. I don't sy that happened...but it's certainly possible they were in contact early on. Snowden "followed" Assange.
Congressman Larry Macdonald was on that plane. The Japanese continue to claim the Sakalin 4 islands the sovs still hold as not being part of the 1951 treaty when they renounced sovereignty. The sovs did and still do (the old sovs anyway) claim that plane was a spy plane.
Understand your point.
Mine was there were no repercussions for killing 269. While the US has never admitted responsibility or apologized to Iran for Vincennes shootdown of IranAir flight— we did pay compensation.
The soviets were not particularly interested in KAL 007 and purposely misdirected the search for the wreckage, found the flight data recorders and hid that fact, finally letting the flight data recorders be examined (mysteriously both tapes stopping 1:44 minutes after the missile hit). Classic lying sovietskis, and incompetent at the same time.

When fund firms' hopes for a big launch are pinned on Nigerian stocks, you know the ETF-ization of the market is pretty far along. Maybe even saturated.
That's the gist of a worthwhile Wall Street Journal story this morning by Joe Light and Jason Zweig that reviews how difficult it is to conjure a truly new ETF idea, and being truly different is often what it takes to build assets and draw fees.
The trend won't be news to readers of Barron's ETF coverage ("Solutions in Search of a Problem," ETF Special Report, March 16), but the numbers might be: Light and Zweig report that 70 ETFs and other exchange-traded products launched in the first half of the year, down 44% from 126 a year earlier.
Among the newbies are niche trading vehicles such as Direxion Daily South Korea Bull 3x ETF (KORU) and the frontier-market specialty fund Global X Nigeria Index ETF (NGE). The last month's launches have included two volatility-hedged stock ETFs from VelocityShares, a WisdomTree fund for Japanese smallcaps and a regulated utility ETF from Deutsche Bank (DB).
Light and Zweig read a potential headwind into the trend for ETF latecomers like Fidelity Investments, which has laid the regulatory groundwork for what could be a large new offering of passive and actively managed ETFs across stock and bond markets:
The recent struggles might mean trouble for asset-management giants such as Fidelity Investments that made their names in the mutual-fund business and now are eyeing ETFs as a source of growth.
The companies hope investors will flock to "actively managed" ETFs that rely on the expertise and research of stock and bond pickers to make money.
Fidelity won approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission in May to create actively managed ETFs. They aren't likely to arrive until next year, says Jacques Perold, president of Fidelity Investments' Fidelity Management & Research Co.
The Boston firm's lone ETF was launched in 2003 and tracks the Nasdaq Composite Index. "We think of this as a multichapter novel," he says. The first chapter is done. We think the next is going to be active."
But there have been successes despite the trend. State Street's SPDR Blackstone GSL Senior Loan ETF (SRLN) has attracted $335 million in assets in just three months. A suite of iShares "factor" ETFs built for "value," "size" and "momentum" investing have each gathered more than $100 million. The month-old Barron's 400 ETF (BFOR), tracking an index that was designed in consulation with the editor's of this magazine, is up to $47 million. Figures are from XTF.com.
And it might not be such an issue for Fidelity or others with large sales forces. As Vanguard Group's Joel Dickson put it in a Barron's ETF Roundtable earier this year:
We tend to be believers in big building blocks. Active ETFs are interesting, and certainly we could do something. Or we might not. I see active ETFs not so much as an investment play, but as a distribution play. You've got old-line mutual-fund cost structures that emerged from traditional commission-based selling platforms. But there has been a huge shift toward fee-based platforms. From a distribution standpoint, there is a lot of runway for active ETFs.
What should investors make of the trend? You could do worse than heeding what Chris Dieterich wrote in Barron's in March:
Advisors' rule No. 1: Don't allow a rush of product offerings to change your perception of real investing needs. Sophisticated investors who already sell put options may take note of [a put-selling strategy ETF, ALPS Advisors' U.S. Equity High Volatility Put Write Index fund (HVPW).] Otherwise, ignore it. Even if investors see a usefulness in many of these new ETFs, dial down the enthusiasm until each one has been tested — in the market and in your portfolio. Lee Munson, chief investment officer at Portfolio LLC in Albuquerque, N.M., says he adheres to a "one-exotic-ETF limit."

#Isles booked flight for Visnovsky today. He wasn't on it. Appears this will be settled between NHL and KHL now.— Arthur Staple (@StapeNewsday) January 12, 2013
Josh Ho-Sang has been recalled from Bridgeport of the AHL on emergency conditions, the Islanders announced Wednesday.
Ho-Sang had been recalled on Tuesday and was then returned to Bridgeport later in the day.
He has 10 goals and 26 assists in 48 games this season for Bridgeport. He leads the team in assists and is second in points...

The Islanders board a flight to Dallas on Tuesday, a day earlier than they would have left under normal circumstances, to continue their nine-game road trip.
What's not normal about a Tuesday in February? In case you have been living under a rock, Wednesday at 3 p.m. ET is the NHL trade deadline. And with the Islanders engaged in a back-room brawl for the final Eastern Conference wild card spot, it's their last opportunity to search for help outside the organization -- help that could get them over the hump and into the playoffs. And that's where every team, thanks to parity that now rules the day, has a chance at the big prize.
Third place in the Metropolitan division is a pipe dream at this point, with New York trailing Columbus by 15 points with 21 games to play. With the best division in hockey getting better after Washington acquired Kevin Shattenkirk Monday night, they trail the rival New York Rangers by 14 points, making the first wild card spot and a trip into the Atlantic division bracket also an extremely long shot...

The Islanders have returned forward Bracken Kearns on loan to the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, the team announced.
Kearns suited up in the last two games for the Islanders and recorded two penalty minutes and three shots on goal.
The 35-year-old forward has 18 goals and 40 points in the AHL this season.
Injured forwards Cal Clutterbuck and Shane Prince are expected to skate Monday, head coach Doug Weight said Saturday.
The Blue Jackets scored three times in the first period and never looked back, scoring more four times en route to a 7-0 shutout victory over the Islanders at Nationwide Arena on Saturday.
Josh Johnson and Nick Foligno scored two goals apiece to lead the Blue Jackets. With the loss, the Islanders snapped a three-game winning streak. >>Read More
The Islanders continue their lengthy road trip with a game against the Blue Jackets at 5 p.m.
According to STATS:
- The Islanders beat the Canadiens, 3-0, in Montreal on Thursday, their third consecutive win. Since Doug Weight took over as head coach on January 17, New York is 12-4-2 -- only Washington (11-3-1) and Chicago (11-4-0) have better records in that span.
- The Blue Jackets lost to the Predators, 4-3, in Columbus on Sunday before going into their bye week. The loss snapped a two-game win streak, and was the first time in their last seven games they had allowed over three goals.

Goaltender Thomas Greiss will be in net for the Islanders against the Blue Jackets on Saturday night, head coach Doug Weight told reporters.
Weight also said he will use the same lineup as he did on Thursday against Montreal, which means Stephen Gionta and Bracken Kearns will suit up at forward in place of Cal Clutterbuck and Shane Prince.

Snow seems to be all in, with sources telling SNY that he's been given the green light by owner Jonathan Ledecky, to do what he deems necessary to add to an Islanders roster teeming with confidence right now.
Knicks owner James Dolan, the owners of the Mets, and others are interested in investing in a potential new arena for the Islanders just outside Queens, according to Scott Soshnick of Bloomberg.
The new arena would be near the Belmont site in Elmont, New York.
Soshnick notes that NHL rules allow the owner of one team to have a stake in another club's arena.
Not many thought it was possible just a month ago, but the New York Islanders are in control of their collective postseason fate.
With the Islanders' 3-0 victory in Montreal, New York remained in possession of the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. While the Islanders and Bruins both have 68 points, the Islanders have the eight spot because they have a game in hand on the Bruins. However, Boston has one more regulation or overtime win (29 to the Isles' 28), which is the first head-to-head tiebreaker.
"It's a validation," Doug Weight told reporters after the game. "To be in control of that spot, even with so many games left, and win one - it's us getting over the hump a bit, because we've had chances to jump into that spot before and not done it."
Andy Graziano, SNY.tv
The climb continues, and if you believe in fairy tales and the stuff dreams are made of, the story written on the ice in Montreal Thursday evening had the perfect ending.
Anthony Beauvillier, the Islanders 19-year old rookie forward who made the team, to some measure of surprise, out of training camp, played for the first time as a professional in his hometown in front of 50 family and friends.
The night started for Beauvillier with a 'gift' from his teammates, as they sent him out for pre-game warmups alone, without following him onto the ice. It's an old gag reserved for when the team wants to shift the attention to one singular player in hopes of showcasing him….or embarrassing him.

The Islanders face off against the Montreal Canadiens from the Bell Centre on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
According to STATS:
- The Islanders beat the Red Wings, 3-1, in Detroit on Tuesday, improving to 6-3-0 in their last nine games. They only had 22 shots on goal in the game, one more than their season low of 21, done on November 12 at Florida. It was also their first time in their last five games they had allowed fewer than two goals.
- The Canadiens beat the Rangers, 3-2, in a shootout in New York on Tuesday, giving Claude Julien his first win as their head coach. It also snapped a three-game losing streak, and ended a 2-7-1 span as well. After sitting comfortably in first in the Atlantic Division for most of the season, the Canadiens sit just two points ahead of Ottawa.

The Islanders' recent turnaround could help the team keep captain John Tavares long term, Craig Custance of ESPN suggests.

The roadie from hell has officially begun. Nine straight games away from Brooklyn for the New York Islanders, who entered play last night tied for fewest road wins in the entire National Hockey League at seven.
After a first period that saw them take the lead on a beauty from Josh Bailey, still their most consistent offensive player all season, they fell asleep at the wheel with the clock running down and surrendered an awful goal to Henrik Zetterberg with 0.1 seconds remaining to tie the game.
Instead of getting down, they picked themselves up, went out and executed simplicity on the road, exactly what is needed to pick up two crucial points at this juncture of the regular season, when the grind of an 82-game schedule really starts to wear down the body, no matter how conditioned or prepared you think you might be.

The Islanders have signed Connor Jones to a two-way deal for the remainder of the season, the team announced Wednesday.
Josh Bailey has remained red hot, and it boosted the Islanders to a much-needed victory to start their nine-game road trip.
Bailey opened the scoring in the first by stealing a Petr Mrazek pass and firing a wrister past the Red Wings goaltender to give the Islanders an early 1-0 lead. Then, with the Isles up 2-1 in the third just under four minutes into the third, Bailey gloved down a Wings' clearing attempt at the blue line, skated toward the middle, faked a big shot, then cut toward the far circle. Bailey centered a pass to John Tavares, who roofed one over Mrazek to give New York all the breathing room it would need.
"Obviously, there's a lot of luck involved there," Bailey said of his set of up Tavares. "I was staying on the wall hoping that he would throw it down the middle and I could get to it, but he fanned on it a little and that's how I got it. We were laughing on the bench because I had to wait for Anders (Lee) to get out of my way so that I could shoot."
Tags: Anders Lee, John Tavares, Josh Bailey
Calvin de Haan was credited with a go-ahead goal that caromed off an opponent late in the second period and the New York Islanders went on to beat the Detroit Red Wings 3-1 Tuesday night.
De Haan's shot from above the left circle was stopped by Petr Mrazek, but the rebound went off Detroit defenseman Xavier Ouellet and the back of the goaltender's left leg and into the net. John Tavares scored early in the third period to give the Islanders a two-goal lead and they coasted to the victory.
Josh Bailey had a goal and an assist, and Thomas Greiss stopped 26 shots for New York.
Tags: John Tavares, Josh Bailey
Thomas Greiss will start in goal for the Islanders' game against the Red Wings on Tuesday, Doug Weight told reporters Tuesday morning.
The Isles will use the same defenders as Sunday's win over New Jersey.
13 forwards participated in New York's morning skate, but Cal Clutterbuck will definitely be in the lineup Tuesday. Clutterbuck has not played since Feb. 3.

Two big wins on the weekend against two of the NHL's top teams have the Detroit Red Wings in a much better frame of mind as they head into Tuesday's crucial home date with the New York Islanders.
On Sunday, the Red Wings whipped defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh 5-2, handing the Penguins just their fourth regulation loss at home this season. That came on the heels of Saturday's 3-2, home-ice shootout win over the Washington Capitals, the top team in the NHL standings.
"It certainly feels good," Detroit forward Thomas Vanek said. "Like I've said before, the big picture is not pretty, so I think the message is just play game by game."

The New York Islanders will now take to the road, where they are 7-13-4, tied for the fewest road wins in the National Hockey League, for three weeks as Barclays Center welcomes the circus and ACC basketball tournament. New York will play their next nine games away from home, not returning until Monday, March 13 for a game against the Carolina Hurricanes.
"There's not a good feeling, not a good vibe on the road right now," said interim head coach Doug Weight after the Islanders 6-4 win over New Jersey. "We're built to be a good road team. We've been here (in Brooklyn) a lot and we've been great, so it's a bit of a crutch. Hopefully we get out on the road and get together as a team."
After a 3-2 loss in Newark on Saturday evening, thanks to a sleepy start and one stingy goalpost, the Islanders bounced back for the win last night against the same pesky opponents who, no matter their record, always seem to give New York fits, regardless of their lifetime record against them. It's never been easy.

Anthony Beauvillier was moved back to center on Sunday evening, and he impressed against New Jersey's top line.
Beauvillier switched places with Brock Nelson, as their line drew the Devils' top unit led by Taylor Hall, and his teammates came away with a favorable impression.
"I know firsthand as a young guy who came up as a center, it's hard to play along the wall when you're not used to it," Ryan Strome said of his linemate who returned to his natural position. "It's tough to win those battles. I thought Beau looked really comfortable in the middle. He brought that speed and I think it helped our line."

A pair of teams looking to gain valuable ground in the jumbled Eastern Conference wild card race will play for the second time in as many nights Sunday, when the New York Islanders host the New Jersey Devils at Barclays Center.
The Devils further complicated the wild card race on Saturday, when they held off a furious late comeback by the Islanders to earn a 3-2 victory at Prudential Center.
Devante Smith-Pelly, Travis Zajac and Pavel Zacha scored as the Devils carried a 3-0 lead into the final 17 minutes, but Andrew Ladd and Anthony Beauvillier scored for the Islanders, who missed a chance to tie the game in the final 90 seconds when Nick Leddy's shot at an open net bounced off a post. >> Read more

The Islanders head to New Jersey to take on the Devils at 7 p.m.
According to STATS:
- This will be the first meeting this season between the Islanders and Devils. New York is 7-0-1 in its last eight road games versus New Jersey, shutting the Devils out in two of its last three games played at Prudential Center in Newark.
- The Islanders beat the Rangers, 4-2, at home despite trailing, 1-0, at the end of the first period, their 10th comeback win of the season. New York is now 15-6-4 since December 20, the fourth-best record in the NHL over that span (entering the weekend).
Islanders forwards Casey Cizikas and Stephen Gionta joined NHL Now after the team's win over the Rangers and had positive things to say about interim head coach Doug Weight.
After the win over the Rangers on Thursday, the Islanders are 9-3-2 under Weight.

The standings in the Eastern Conference race for the final wild card spot continue to be tight and this race could go right down to the wire with roughly 25 games remaining in the 2016-17 regular season. The Islanders could drive a stake into the New Jersey Devils' hopes this weekend with back-to-back matchups starting tonight in Newark. But then, it's a nine-game road trip -- longest in franchise history -- which will certainly define where this team ends up in April
The Islanders' 4-2 over the Rangers had to put some smiles on all the Islanders' faces, but maybe none more so than relative newcomer Jason Chimera.
Chimera, who is only a few months into his tenure with the Isles, told reporters that his time in Brooklyn has already made him intolerant of Blueshirts or their fans.
"I've only been here six months, and I hate 'em," Chimera said of the Isles' crosstown rivals. "It's not just the team, it's the people that cheer for them. You hear your neighbors talking about the Rangers and you want to beat them even more."
Tags: Andrew Ladd, Jason Chimera
Another night, another impressive performance from the Islanders' top line.
With the Isles trailing 1-0, the trio of Anders Lee, John Tavares, and Josh Bailey got their club on the board with a highlight reel goal. Tavares shuffled a blind, backhanded pass to Bailey at the far circle. Bailey then turned as if to shoot and drew Henrik Lundqvist and the Rangers' defense toward him before feathering a beautiful pass to an emerging Lee at the side of the net. Lee took the pass with his back to the net, spun and cashed it in to even the game at one.
"All these games are pretty much playoff games for us," Lee told reporters after the game. "It's just keeping that excitement in the room. We're in a position where we're chasing down teams and it's a fun one to be in, especially after the way we started the season. It's just an exciting time. It's easy to get up for a game like this, especially after getting thumped the other night."

Andrew Ladd's two-goal night came at a perfect time for the islanders, but it wouldn't have been possible without the hard work of Stephen Gionta.
Six-and-a-half minutes into the second period, Gionta forced Marc Staal into a turnover behind the net, gained possession, and quickly sent a centering feed to Ladd who flicked a quick wrister past Henrik Lundqvist to give the Islanders a 2-1 lead.
For Gionta, it was his third point (all assists) in his seventh game this season

The Islanders have made up a ton of ground, and entering play on Wednesday, are just three points out of a playoff spot. So, Andy, with the trade deadline just two weeks away, should they be buyers or sellers?
Auston Matthews scored twice, Frederik Andersen earned his 100th NHL win and the Toronto Maple Leafs routed the New York Islanders 7-1 on Tuesday night in a game with playoff implications.
The Maple Leafs set a season high for goals and won for the third time in nine games. They moved three points ahead of the Islanders for the second wild card in the Eastern Conference.

The Canadiens have fired Michel Therrien and hired Claude Julien as head coach, the team announced Tuesday.
Julien was fired by the Bruins earlier this month after going 419-246-94 in 10 seasons as head coach and guiding the team to a Stanley Cup title in 2011.
It was reported last week that the Islanders were happy with the job interim coach Doug Weight has done and were "still evaluating" whether to make a run at Julien, according to longtime Bruins reporter Jimmy Murphy.
The trade market has become incredibly expensive as the deadline looms at 3 p.m. ET on March 1, reports Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.
Avalanche GM Joe Sakic, who has two of the most coveted forwards on the market in Gabriel Landeskog and Matt Duchene, is looking to make a killing on either one, says Garrioch.
Garrioch noted that when Senators GM Pierre Dorion spoke to Sakic, the cost for either player was 23-year-old defenseman Codi Ceci, a 2017 first-round draft pick, one of two blue chip prospects in defenseman Thomas Chabot -- star of the just completed world junior championship -- or center Colin White, plus perhaps a couple of other parts.

Andy Graziano, SNY.TV:
By Doug Weight's and his own players' admission, not much has changed systematically for the Islanders since Jack Capuano was fired on January 17 and replaced on an interim basis by the NHL veteran of 1,238 games -- including 107 with the Islanders.
A 'tweak' to defensive zone coverage has been all that's been mentioned to the media ever since the switch, and the results have been strangely similar under both coaches. The Islanders have not lost consecutive games in regulation since December 13-15, when they were defeated by the Capitals and Blackhawks -- a run that has spanned 25 games: 13 under Capuano and 12 under Weight.
After Sunday night's victory over the offensively challenged Avalanche, the league's worst team, New York is now 8-2-2 under Weight, only two games better than the 6-4-2 they went in the previous 12 games under Capuano's leadership. Diving into more team-based statistics from the same time period, the results once again come out very similar.
Tags: Anders Lee, Andrew Ladd, John Tavares, Josh Bailey, Nick Leddy, Ryan Strome, Andy Graziano
Nick Leddy has looked like a completely different player since the calendar turned to 2017, and it's paying dividends for the Islanders.
Leddy opened the scoring for the Isles in the first period on Sunday evening, then chipped in two assists, ultimately surpassing the 200 point mark for his career.
In addition, Leddy and his pairing mate Johnny Boychuck played to a +3 rating for the evening, and were on the ice for all five Islanders goals. According to Islanders statistician Eric Hornick, Leddy is averaged just shy of a point per game (4-11-15) in the last 16 games, and has a +9 rating over that span.
Tags: Johnny Boychuk, Nick Leddy, Travis Hamonic
J-F Berube turned in a strong performance Sunday evening in a game the Isles had to have.
Berube turned aside 26 Colorado shots in the team's 5-1 victory at Barclays Center. He allowed just one goal, a first period breakaway that Joe Colborne cashed in.
"I was sharp, I didn't give too many sloppy rebounds," Berube told reporters after the game about his performance. "Guys were talking a lot on the ice and that helps a lot to find the puck."

Anders Lee has been one of the NHL's premiere goal scorers over the last three months, and it's helping to form a dominant top line for the Islanders.
According to Elias, only Montreal Canadiens' Max Pacioretty (24) has scored more goals in the NHL over the last 35 games. Lee, who now has 21 on the season, had just one goal in his first 18 games.
"I think him and Bails have proved a lot of people wrong as far as guys who can play those kind of minutes," Doug Weight said of the Islanders top line. "They've helped Johnny in a lot of ways, too."

You can live well with diabetes if you understand how to care for yourself. The Great River Diabetes Education Program offers four-week group diabetes classes. The sessions are from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Thursdays beginning Dec. 15.
Group outpatient diabetes classes are for those who are:
- Newly diagnosed and learning about diabetes management
- Making a change in treatment
- Having concerns or complications
Class topics:
- Types of diabetes
- Proper eating for diabetes
- Carbohydrate counting
- Developing healthy habits

- Controlling blood pressure, cholesterol and weight
- Reducing risks for diabetes-related health problems

A physician referral for diabetes education is required. Great River Medical Center's certified diabetes educators, a registered nurse and a registered dietitian will assess needs for specific information and skills, teach self-care and provide continuing help. The fee for the class series is covered by most insurance companies. A family member or friend is encouraged to attend at no additional cost.
The Great River Diabetes Education Program has been awarded the American Diabetes Association Education Recognition Certificate for a high-quality diabetes self-management program. Recognition assures that education programs meet the National Standards for Diabetes Self-management Education programs and are an essential component of effective diabetes treatment. It also is accredited by the Iowa Department of Public Health.
The Great River Diabetes Education Program is offered through Great River Center for Rehab and Clinics, 1401 W. Agency Rd., West Burlington. Talk to your physician or other health-care provider about the benefits of diabetes education. For more information or to register, please call the Center for Rehab and Clinics at 319-768-4100.
