Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Clinton Public School District officials say an Eastside Elementary school student took a gun onto campus Friday, but no one was injured.
District spokeswoman Sandi Beason says the gun was discovered Friday afternoon when the student showed it to another child, who then reported it to the school. The school has classes for fourth and fifth-graders. She did not know whether the gun was loaded.
Local police are investigating. Certified police officers work on the school campuses in Clinton, a suburb of Jackson.
State law says any student with a gun, knife or other weapon on campus can be expelled. The student also has the right to appeal the expulsion.

American and Canadian citizens must have a passport that is valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended return date in order to enter and depart Belize.Tourists must also provide proof of return or onward travel. Each traveler is responsible for ensuring that his/her passport is up to date. Citizens of other nationalities should check with respective authorities before departure. Please ensure that the name on your passport matches all travel documents we have issued. If this is not the case, please contact us immediately.
Please make a photocopy of your passport's identification page and keep it separate from the original. It's also a good idea to leave a digital copy with someone at home. This may speed the replacement process should you lose your passport.
American and Canadian citizens traveling on regular passports for business or tourist purposes do not need a visa for a stay of up to 90 days. Please note that if you are staying longer than 90 days, obtaining a visa is your responsibility. These requirements change often and therefore it is recommended that you check with the Embassy of Belize for the most up- to-date information.
Medical insurance and cancellation insurance is highly recommendedand it can safeguard against the expenses associated with in-country medical emergencies as well as lost or delayed baggage and emergency cancelation or interruption of your trip. Please ensure your policy will provide you with upfront medical coverage so that you are not responsible for a hefty medical bill.
Some vaccines require more than one dose or a major length of time to be effective. For that reason, it is recommended to see your doctor or health provider at least 6 to 8 weeks before your trip. Please bring vaccination certificates with you in your carry-on luggage as you may need to present them on arrival.
Currently Required Vaccinations: Currently there are no required vaccinations, but it is suggested that you consider getting vaccinated against Hepatitis A & B, Typhoid, and Rabies. Malaria may also be a risk in some parts of the country, although the islands which are frequented by tourists are Malaria free.
If there are any medical items essential to your health, such as prescription drugs or corrective eye wear, bring duplicates and divide them between your checked bags and hand luggage. While non-prescription drugs such as aspirin are generally available, it is difficult to replace prescription items.
Other recommended Items:
Electricity: Electricity in Belize is supplied at 110 volts AC, 60HZ. American-style two-pin plugs are standard.
Phone: Coverage is good throughout most of the country. Check with your mobile telephone company that roaming agreements exist for travelers to Belize. You can also buy a local SIM card and insert it in your phone.

Major credit and debit cards are accepted in most businesses, with ATMs available across the country. It is recommended that you contact your credit card company to advise them when and where you will be traveling to avoid what may be picked up as suspicious activity by your credit card provider. Travelers Checks, especially American Express, Visa and Thomas Cook, are also accepted and can be cashed at banks. However, banks may charge a hefty exchange fee. The official exchange rate is published daily in the newspapers.

Skip to comments.Civil war at '60 Minutes'
Posted on 09/22/2004 6:25:13 AM PDT by presidio9
A war of words has erupted within the halls of "60 Minutes" following Dan Rather's admission that CBS News aired a report on President Bush using questionable documents. On one side of the battle is Steve Kroft, a veteran correspondent on the Sunday edition of "60 Minutes." On the other is Don Hewitt, founder of the pioneering newsmagazine.
Kroft argues it's unlikely the Sunday show would have made the mistake of using the documents that bolstered Rather's report - which aired on the Wednesday telecast, formerly known as "60 Minutes II."
So much so, Kroft and staffers on the Sunday telecast want it to be clear - they weren't the ones that were duped.
"We're all afraid of that, that's our biggest concern," Kroft told the Daily News. "We've held off from saying it, we've held off from making any comments as long as there was some hope the documents would prove to be real.
"Now, I think it's our responsibility to try to draw a distinction between the two broadcasts," Kroft said, admitting that the original show had been burned in the past and had learned from its mistakes. "They've done a lot of great work over there ... particularly with the Abu Ghraib story, they didn't rush that story on the air. This one, for whatever reason, they did."
Kroft said he was surprised when "60 Minutes II" dropped the "II" in its name, but noted yesterday that in CBS' statements regarding the mistake, the show had become "60 Minutes Wednesday."
The second edition of "60 Minutes" was a contentious project from the start. Hewitt, the creator of "60 Minutes," fought against expanding the franchise but was overruled. The second show launched Jan. 13, 1999.
"I think they've acquitted themselves nicely," said Hewitt, who was forced out as executive producer last season. "When I objected to there being a second show, I didn't know how good it was going to be."
He scolded his old crew yesterday for sniping at their beleaguered colleagues.
"Now, when the other one is in trouble, they're piling on. It's unfair, uncalled for and not the way that grown men should act," Hewitt said.
Kroft is not alone in questioning what led to Rather's having to admit the show made a mistake.
"There's anger in the rank and file that this could have happened," said a CBS News source.
Rather told The News Monday he was appreciative of those who have expressed support.
"And for those who haven't been, including those who haven't been and thought they needed to anonymously take their shots, I say, I understand," he said.
Meanwhile, attempts to trace the origins of the fraudulent paperwork have foundered on attacks from Democrats and Republicans suggesting that their political opponents concocted them.
USA Today, which also received the papers from anti-Bush activist Bill Burkett, reported yesterday that Burkett told them he was offered the documents from a woman who identified herself on the phone as Lucy Ramirez.
But when he rendezvoused with Ramirez, an unidentified man showed up instead and dropped them off.
USA Today said it has been unable to trace Ramirez.
New Yorkers go easy on Dan
New Yorkers were generally forgiving of Dan Rather's running a story based on unproven documents that attacked President Bush.
"Rather made a mistake and he was man enough to admit it." - Kaiseem Felder, 49, Xerox technician, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.
"All I could think of was this is what he will be remembered for after such a successful career. But mistakes happen all the time in the news." - Jane Marie Giustra, 24, sales assistant, Hoboken, N.J.
"Everything they said about Bush is true; they just haven't found the evidence yet." - Dale Channer, 34, florist, the Bronx.
"He screwed up and ought to be held accountable. He should not be fired but he should apologize formally to the President." - Jim Oldham, 42, salesclerk, Weehawken, N.J.
"I feel bad for Dan Rather because he is such a respected person. CBS should take more time to research and look at who was giving them the information." - Nichole Anderson, 34, event planner, North Brunswick, N.J.
"He should have gotten the facts right, but it's not uncommon what he did." - Eddie Tallarine, 37, electrician, Massapequa, L.I.
"CBS should have checked the information before they came out with it, but the reputation of CBS is good. ... It was one mistake." - Fernando Monte, 30, consultant, Yonkers.
"I view him as an anchorperson, not the person really out gathering the information. I don't think he should resign over this." - Cynthia Lazzari, 44, health-care information manager, Philadelphia.
CBS would be smart to sell the show to one of the other networks and close up shop. Do it before its value has completely disintegrated.
No War for Oil. Bush Lied People Died. Bush AWOL blah blah blah
Priceless! Have another glass of Kool-aide.
When you drop atom bombs you need to be very careful about collateral damage.
60 minutes is no more. Radiation sickness will kill it.
"Everything they said about Bush is true; they just haven't found the evidence yet." - Dale Channer, 34, florist, the Bronx. "
Without 'evidence', that's called 'speculation and conjecture'.
Or 'wishful thinking'.
They are just repeating what they are constantly being fed. I actually enlightened a couple of libs with Byron York's article.
The old fogeys like Wallace and Safer are noticeably quiet. It is the "new" guys like Kroft - those who haven't been there since Noah let loose the birds - who are speaking up. This dispute sounds generational. The old boys are circling the wagons.
All they'd have to do is stop by the fresh fruit aisle at their local supermarket.
On another note, it was inevitable that this kind of internecine warfare would break out at CBS, as people scramble to protect their reputations and exploit the situation to advance their careers, settle old scores, etc.
Blinders on? Check.
Bias engaged? Check.
OT: vanity fair is very liberal, right? its that same graydon putz that writes for LA times or some such thing? I only remember bits and pieces but I need to dispute someone that claims you'll get the 'truth' about the GWB 2000 election and the supreme court from this mag.
I can just see Dale saying this while making a flower arrangement with his limp wrists.
I hope you're right! Good bye to bad garbage.
That's a very telling statement, Stevie...
I have heard this point of view stated a over and over by people I work with. I guess evidence means nothing to them. I wonder how they would feel if they were on trail and this form of "reasoning" was used to convict them. It's so typical of liberalism. Facts mean nothing. What is important is how one feels.
Dale Channer, 34, florist, the Bronx.
Dale Channer appears to be another hostile Girly it/homosexual, who hates GW.
Dale, go arrange your flowers and STFU.
Since most of the CBS stars are well past retirement age, its in Kroft's interest to see them kicked aside. Go Steve !
Yeah, were still waiting for one ounce of proof this went, "all the way to the top"!
Wonder what the conversation between Lockhart and Mapes happened. That is where the coordination most likely was.
Pray for W and Our Troops
At least "Lucy Ramirez" doesn't sound as fishy as "Heywood Jablome"......
That's right, I forgot: Ohio is crawling with rocket scientists! This is the Daily News Tony. Look at the type of people they questioned.
I think it should be clear that anyone who followed the story and wasn't convinced by Newcomer and the Adobe and Apple font programmers is simply not smart enough to be in the news business.
This constitutes an industry wide IQ test: who was still not convinced of the forgery at the end of 48 hours?
Prosecutors love simpletons like this...
Drawing Kroft's line would be like knifing one's heart in two.
They are one.
His attitude, though, reflects the brainwashing by the CBS news team. My guess is that like most Democrats, he doesn't give a hoot whether Bush served admirably in the military. He just doesn't like Bush.
"Everything they said about Bush is true; they just haven't found the evidence yet." - Dale Channer, 34, florist, the Bronx. "
From the "guilty until proven innocent" school.
That one was too easy.
For an interesting exercise from now on.
Whenever you read a really hateful article, oped, editorial against GW do a Yahoo search with the name of the writer and Gay.
It is amazing how many of these hate GW clymers are Gay Activists or Pro Gay Activists who have pushed the radical gay agenda in the last decade. A prime example was Tom Hays the AP liar in the boos lie that AP put out.
"Everything they said about Bush is true; they just haven't found the evidence yet." - Dale Channer, 34, florist, the Bronx.
Tell it to Judge Trudy.
What's more unbelievable is... in a article that's ultimately about bias...these "comments" that were "collected" are typical of the bias we see in the media every STINKING day..!!
Some questions are begging.
How were these comments collected?
What was the sample size?
Who collected them? Who edited them?
IT's ALL JUST MORE C--BS..!!!
must read comments bump

Out of eight "people" quoted, four are from NY, one from PA, and three from NJ.
Close enough for the Daily News, I guess.
What would we lowly Freepers do if we weren't reinforced in our by beliefs by some nondescript idiot saying "it was just a mistake, can't we forgive and forget?"
Sorry, its not 60 minutes with the black eye, it's the whole damn network. EVERY show, EVERY affiliate, and EVERY advertiser.
Added Hewitt, "Grown men should coach Democrat presidential candidates and their wives on how they should answer the questions in an interview. They should deliberately edit the videotape in a way that lies appear to be truth. They should deliberately do stories to help get Democrats elected president and pretend it's news. I did it with Clinton in 1992, and I'm a grown man."
Either the NYDaily News conducted selective interviews or the typical NY'er is dumber than a box of rocks!
No blood-No foul.
I just get pissed when people knee-jerk their opinions of NY. Yeah, there are a lot of liberals here. But there are also plenty of conservatives. Rudy Guiliani was beating Hillary Clinton before he got prostate cancer. Kissinger lives here. We count Peggy Noonan, Ann Coulter and Laura Ingram among our single women. Nixon retired here. NY is the capital of the world. As such, it is home to all types.
Bet this guy could get you a heck of a deal on a bouquet of pansies!
How come half their New Yorkers aren't from NY? :)
The days of MSM throwing shiite on the wall and hoping it sticks is over.
What has Chris Wallace had to say about all this? Has he been a little quiet too?
No, they took their time on this one to ensure they could blow up something that was already being investigated and ensure the biggest blow to the morale of our troops. - Scumbags...
Nice try, 'Rat brain.
We know why.

Not The Item Displayed And Difficult To Use.The item displayed is "CD121X", a double barrel iron that can clip open. The item that I received however is "CD121T", which is a already spaced double barrel iron. Never-less, I thought I try it out before I complain. I'm Asian, my hair is straight and down to my waist and it curls very easy. My favorite is the Sedu flat iron and Sedu clip-less iron. This iron, however, the barrels diameter are rather small and long and I find it very hard to do the figure 8 shape on the barrels. I had to do the 8 near the tip of the barrels, then push the hair down to continue with the 8. There's no way you can do it otherwise without burning yourself because the barrels are so long and the spacing is small and fixed. The glove that it came with was not a full glove but a three finger L-shape piece that covers your thumb and first and middle fingers only and it constantly slipped off. I returned the item and Folica was nice enough to pay for the return shipping.Feb 4, 2013Sally / United StatesHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair

I'm In Love!I picked this up after seeing a rave review on YouTube by LetsMakeItUp1. I find that barrel curls from a traditional curling iron just don't look casual enough for me and don't usually hold all day. I thought that this might be a good alternative for me and I was right! This iron is AMAZING. You get these really unique, piecey waves that look beachy and natural. And, the iron heats up really hot, so they last all day! I also LOVE how many styles you can get with this tool. The prongs open and close, so you can create S-waves and really interesting oval waves. It's super versatile, so you're bound to find something you like. The only downside is that the heat-protecting glove the iron comes with is totally useless. I'd recommend buying your own full hand glove to use with this tool.Dec 18, 2012AshleyHAIR TYPECurly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Many Gorgeous Styles From One ToolI was debating between this and the Conair You-Curl XL (or something like that, it's a wand by conair) to enhance my long wavy hair. I decided on this because of the versatility. Best decisiion ever!! This curls or waves my hair so nicely and leaves it shiny, thanks to the ceramic, and bouncy. This is very surprising as my hair is usually dry and frizzy. These curls last all day, and beyond. If you have short hair though, beware. This is VERY difficult to use on short hair. (I tried it on my mom with layered chin/neck length hair.) I burned my fingers many times (didn't use the glove) and it turned out very big. Anybody with hair shorter than shoulder length would have a hard time with this. Since I have long hair though, it worked awesome. My favorite two ways to use this are: 1. Doing the S-waves (when you figure eight around both barrels. These look really pretty, but my first mistake was when I wrapped to close to my roots and my hair turned out huge! You learn as you go though, and I got this a week ago and I have it down. You also have to be careful not to burn yourself, as the glove isn't the greatest. If you need help doing this, Youtube has a lot of great tutorials on how to use this tool. 2. Just curling it around the big barrel. It turns out gorgeous, probably the same as it would with the You Curl. The other two shown on the box work well too, but I don't like them as much as s-waves or just curls. Maybe with more practice the other two will come out even better. I usually do more than one style on my head and it turns out looking really good, surprisingly. No one else I know has this tool, and so my hair turns out really unique and no one can figure out how I use my tool. The only thing I would change about this is a better glove and maybe the barrels could be a little bigger, but it is still my favorite tool ever. My straightener has been banished to my drawer and the wave and wrap has become my almost everyday tool.This tool is a great value. If you are debating between this and a curling wand, choose this!Jan 2, 2012LeahHAIR TYPEBlonde / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair

Easy To Use, Creates Beautiful Curls And Shiny HairThis curling iron just arrived today and I love it! For some reason, I have always had a difficult time using curling irons correctly and the curls usually turn out awful and my hair, burnt. I did the oval waves (wrap hair around both barrels) today and to my surprise, it was super easy to do and turned out great! The curls get even better as the day goes on as well - they turned into soft, romantic waves. I'm so happy I bought this! I have straight hair and now, for the first time, I can do different (curly) styles! Woo!
Also, I was absolutely shocked at how fast the package arrived at my house. It took a week to get from NJ to Vancouver, BC!Nov 30, 2011CelesteHAIR TYPEBlack / Thick or Coarse Hair

Best Curling Iron I've Ever Used!This is a fantastic tool! I have really straight, long hair, but love curls, so I've tried a bunch of curling irons. I've never been impressed with curling irons in general, because they tend to dry out my hair, or the curl either gets too fake and tight, or doesn't last. This double-barreled iron creates natural-looking waves that really last, and doesn't fry my hair. I have fine hair, so I use it on the lower heat setting (330) for 10-12 seconds at a time. I weave large-ish sections around both barrels (the S-wave) for a tousled look. If you're in the mood for spiral curls, just use one barrel instead of two (It comes with instructions, and it helps to watch the instructional video too. It also comes with a nifty little 3-finger glove). I'm no expert handler of curling irons, but this one is so easy to use, I curled all my hair in about 15 mins! I've never ever written a product review before, but I'm so in love with this tool for saving me from Flat Hair Days that I just had to share!Sep 17, 2011Lisa / New YorkHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

What are Paget's disease symptoms and signs?
Paget's disease commonly causes no symptoms and is often incidentally noted when X-ray tests are obtained for other reasons. However, Paget's disease can cause bone pain, deformity, fracture, and arthritis. The bone pain of Paget's disease is located in the affected bone. The most common bones affected by Paget's disease include the spine, the thigh bone (femur), the pelvis, the skull, the collarbone (clavicle), and the upper arm bone (humerus).
The symptoms of Paget's disease depend on the bones affected and the severity of the disease. Enlarged bones can pinch adjacent nerves, causing tingling and numbness. Bowing of the legs can occur. Hip or knee involvement can lead to arthritis, limping, as well as pain and stiffness of the hip or knee. Headache, loss of vision, and hearing loss can occur when bones of the skull are affected. With very widespread Paget's disease, it is possible to develop congestive heart failure due to an increased workload on the heart.
How do health care professionals make a diagnosis of Paget's disease?
Health care professionals make a diagnosis of Paget's disease based on the X-ray appearance. Doctors also may detect Paget's disease with other imaging tests, such as a bone scan, MRI scan, and CT scan. Alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme that comes from bone, is frequently elevated in the blood of people with Paget's disease as a result of the abnormal bone turnover of actively remodeling bone. This blood test is also referred to as the serum alkaline phosphatase (SAP) and is used to monitor the results of treatment of Paget's disease.
The bone scan is particularly helpful in determining the extent of the involvement of Paget's disease as it provides an image of the entire skeleton. Bone that is affected by Paget's disease can easily be identified with bone scanning images.
What is the medical treatment for Paget's disease?
The medical treatment of Paget's disease is directed toward controlling the disease activity and managing its complications. When Paget's disease causes no symptoms and blood testing shows that the level of serum alkaline phosphatase is normal or minimally elevated, no treatment may be necessary. Bone pain can require anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or pain-relieving medicines. Bone deformity can require supports such as heel lifts or specialized footwear. Surgery may be necessary for damaged joints, fractures, severely deformed bones, or when nerves are being pinched by enlarged bone. Prior to undergoing surgery on bone affected by Paget's disease, it is helpful for doctors to treat patients with medications, such as bisphosphonates or calcitonin (Miacalcin), as this tends to diminish the risk of surgical complications, including bleeding.
The medical treatment of the bone of Paget's disease involves either medicines called bisphosphonates or injectable calcitonin. Doctors use these drugs to treat certain patients with osteoporosis. Bisphosphonates are the mainstay of treatment. There are a number of medicines available that are taken by mouth, including alendronate (Fosamax), risedronate (Actonel), etidronate (Didronel), and tiludronate (Skelid), and that are administered intravenously, including pamidronate (Aredia) and zoledronate (Reclast). In general, oral bisphosphonates are taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach with 8 ounces of water; the medicine can cause irritation of the stomach and esophagus. Intravenous bisphosphonates can cause temporary muscle and joint pain but are not associated with irritation of the stomach or esophagus.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
Doug Miller from KUTVs Channel 2 received a warm welcome from the Hoo-Doos in Emery County recently. With the temperature hovering around 107 degrees, on May 27-28, Miller was in Goblin Valley State Park and the surrounding area to film segments for his Saturday night "Outdoors with Doug Miller" television show.
Miller is making a seven state park tour this summer and Goblin Valley was his second stop. He began his stay with Tim Smith, Southeast Regional director for the state parks, from Moab, on a hike into Little Wild Horse Canyon. "That canyon hike was one of the finest and best I've been on," said Miller.
Following the hike, the group, including Eugene Swalberg, assistant manager Goblin Valley and Green River State Parks, took a 4-wheeler tour around Temple Mountain.
The scenic vistas and breathtaking panaramas greeted Miller at every turn. "I've always liked this area and considered it to be one of the best places to visit. Tim told me that a person couldn't visit Goblin Valley without experiencing the surrounding attractions as well. He was right. It was wonderful," Miller said.
Miller, accompanied by his camermen, stayed in Goblin Valley State Park for two nights and took in all that time would allow.
When the time came for the live on air news broadcasts, during which Miller would interview Mayor Glen Dale Johnson from Green River and Blaine Luke, manager of Goblin Valley and Green River State Parks, the goblins of the valley did their work and interferred with the satellite hookups. Miller and his crew continued to work at making the connections for the broadcasts, but it was not to be.
Miller then taped interviews with the two to use on his weekly outdoors show which airs every Saturday night at 11 p.m. on Channel 2.

text: Gwyn Hanssen Pigott concentrates on the subject of the functional vessel, investigating its subtleties and nuances. Exploring the format of the group, she presents variations on related forms of vases, beakers, bowls and teapots as still lifes. Wheel-thrown in porcelain and using variations of wood-fired celadon glazes, Pigott's approach to composition and presentation in these deceptively simple forms of grouped, functional objects reflect the influence of Italian painter Giorgio Morandi. Pale still life with teapot is presented as a linear progression of vessels, the tonal variation of each further revealed as the viewer comes closer to examine the effect of light and translucency on the tapering edges of the porcelain forms. A contemplative work of subtle beauty, this is an elegant distillation of Pigott's understanding of ceramics and the nuances of placement.

Pupils from James Gillespies and Penicuik High Schools, the National Galleries of Scotland and The Roslin Institute, University of Edinburgh worked together on this experimental learning project centring on the Pioneers of Science exhibition. It includes photographs of the Roslin scientists who created Dolly the Sheep as well as Dolly's death mask.

Great Winter Boot
"I absolutely love these boots! They are wonderful in snowy, wet weather -- your feet stay dry. The lining is great and keep your feet extremely warm. I've tested them waiting on a bus in single digit weather standing on a snowy, icy road and my feet stayed warm and dry. I got these in the brown and the weathered look brings load of compliments. They look great with skinny jeans and leggings, but also work well under trousers. You would not regret getting these boots or other Bare Traps of a similar style!"

Wanted to love them , but baggy around the ankle
"Love these boots, except... The ankle area above the buckle is just plain loose. Even with skinny jeans, looks frumpy. I don't have super skinny ankles, average I'd guess. I am debating keeping them, cool looking just way looser than I expected. The picture makes them look tighter up top and they didn't fit that way for me..."

Fresh data from the Centers for Disease Control shows 48.6 million Americans of all ages (16.0 percent of the population) lacking health insurance at the time of the survey in 2010. Also at that point in time 7.8 percent of children under 18 and 33.9 percent of young adults (19-25) were uninsured.
CDC researchers also crunched the 2010 numbers for the 20 largest states. The percentage of uninsured people ranged from 4.0 percent in Massachusetts to 26.1 percent in Arizona. California came in bit above the national average at 18.6 percent.
In 2010 60.2 percent of Americans had health insurance coverage provided by private (non-governmental) sources; 31.4 percent had coverage provided by government -- including Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), state-sponsored or other government-sponsored health plan, Medicare (disability), and military plans. In California the private/public split was 56.1 and 28.8 percent, respectively.

Kids with diabetes are the ones getting blood tests and insulin injections, but they can be a challenge for parents, too.
Your child's diabetes health care team will help you both learn to manage the disease and minimize the pain and anxiety surrounding injections and blood tests. The team may also tell you about testing technologies and medications that offer the most convenience and least discomfort.
Together, you and the diabetes health care team can find the most comfortable solutions available.
Dealing With Feelings
When kids are very young, blood tests and injections can be especially difficult. A parent needs to enforce diabetes management, which can include regular testing and giving injections to a child who cries, resists, and gets angry.
Learning how to manage diabetes is a process. Even if your child has been cooperating with blood tests and injections for a while, a new fear or emotional issue may crop up that could make test or shot time difficult.
To help manage feelings about diabetes, including anger, frustration, and fear about testing and injections, let your child know that it's OK to be worried about or dislike the injection or test. Talk openly about these fears. Kids need to be able to express their frustration and know that it's OK to be upset.
It can also help to describe the need for injections and blood testing in kid terms. For example, you might explain that the injections and blood tests help keep your child feeling good throughout the day — and that not getting the shots could mean having to stay home from school or miss fun activities because of diabetes problems.
Treating testing and injections in the same matter-of-fact way that you would treat any other part of the daily routine also might help. And many kids like to have a sense of ownership and control of diabetes. Instead of feeling like victims of the tests and injections, they'll feel more in charge of their own health.
Young kids might select a needle, read the glucose meter test result aloud, choose the spot or finger for testing, or press the plunger on the syringe. Encourage your child to take more control gradually as age allows — eventually, kids are ready to handle testing and injections on their own (although parents should continue to supervise).
If your child argues or cries, you might be tempted to skip an injection or test just this once. But you shouldn't negotiate blood tests or injections. They're necessary and not optional. The first time you're talked out of one, you'll set a precedent your child will never forget.
Sometimes, you'll need to just do the injection or test, even if your child is upset and uncooperative. Afterward, you might reward yourselves with something fun like playing a game or reading, and then talk to your child about why he or she was so upset.
If your child is especially fearful of injections and every test or injection is a battle, your doctor or a counselor or mental health professional can help you address this.
Getting both parents (or a parent and another caregiver) involved in the diabetes management process and in administering injections and blood tests ensures consistency in treatment and also provides support as you deal with struggles over injections and blood tests.
Making Injections and Blood Tests Easier
These general tips can help make testing and injections easier:
- Get ready. Prepare the insulin and testing materials beforehand — out of your child's sight, if possible — to minimize the time you need to spend on the procedure.
- Keep it short. Try to keep the time that you spend on injections as short, relaxed, and calm as possible.
- Vary testing and injection sites. Don't use the same one for consecutive tests or injections.
- Make the most of mealtime. In infants, administering the injection or blood test during breastfeeding or bottle-feeding may help to reduce discomfort.
- Use insulin at room temperature and wait until the alcohol from the swab dries before you give the injection to minimize discomfort.
- Try ice. Rubbing the injection site with an ice cube wrapped in a plastic bag or washcloth before you give the injection numbs the skin. This isn't necessary for the injection to work, but it may help your child feel better.
- Find a distraction. Kids may feel less discomfort and stress if they blow into a whistle or party blower, count, sing, hug a toy, or think of something good when getting an injection. An older child might prefer to wear headphones or watch a video during injections.
- Keep teddy handy. Your child might relax with a special doll or stuffed animal to hold during the injection or blood test.
- Offer rewards. You might use stickers or other small prizes to encourage cooperation. Your child could add a sticker to a chart after every injection or blood test to mark the achievement. Don't use food or beverages as rewards, though.
- Give praise if your child is cooperative. But don't make your child feel bad about being uncooperative.
- Give hugs afterward. You might also play a game or read a book of your child's choosing after blood tests or injections.
- Enlist backup. If your teen is reluctant to have tests and injections, it might help to get a counselor or support group involved. Hearing about the importance of injections and blood tests from another adult or health professional may help you to avoid nagging, which could only increase your teen's reluctance.
- Seek support. Talking to other parents of kids with diabetes — whether in support groups, in person, or on the Internet — about what methods work best for them can provide new strategies to make injections and blood tests easier. And you might also find others to talk to about the stress that you deal with in managing your child's diabetes.

"The shoe fits well and gets more comfortable with wear. I've gotten compliments on how it looks. Only one major downside: the mesh on the sides near the ball of the foot tore very quickly and the tear continues to grow. This hasn't seemed to effect the functionality of the shoe, but it doesn't look very good."

Welcome to Diadeloso & NocheDelOso!
As spring approaches the Baylor campus once more, it is time to begin thinking about Baylor's annual holiday, Diadeloso. Each spring since 1932, students at Baylor have been given a day off from classes so that they can enjoy the outdoors with their friends and classmates at this annual event.
This year will feature a new addition, NocheDelOso (Night of the Bear) featuring a concert with Michael Ray featuring MamaDear followed by Star Wars: The Force Awakens at McLane Stadium. DiaDeloso kicks off on Tuesday morning with a full day's schedule filled with fun and games along with many booths sponsored by various student organizations. The day will include tournaments like tug-of-war, sand volleyball, ultimate frisbee, bowling, and basketball.
How did Diadeloso get started?
Dia started in 1932 as a way to "bring smiles to the faces of students" by giving them a break from classes. The annual spring holiday gradually became a favorite pastime. Re-organized by the Chamber of Commerce in 1935, its popularity rapidly grew and the name of the occasion through the years changed from All University Day to Physical Fitness Day to May Day. In 1966 students voted to name the annual occasion "Diadeloso" or "The Day of the Bear."
