Self-healing materials have made recent headlines for their remarkable ability to emulate the restorative capacities of human skin. Much of that innovation has been around the ability to repair tiny fractures and fissures—until now. In May, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign announced the development of a polymer that is designed not only to heal, but also to regenerate.
What is the difference? While healing refers to the repair of small, internal cracks, regeneration deals with the restoration of large breaks or openings. Continuing with the skin analogy, the former is akin to a small cut or scrape while the latter is like a large wound or a missing piece of flesh.
"For the first time, we've shown that you can regenerate lost material in a structural polymer. That's the kicker here," said the research team's leader, Scott White, who's also a mechanical engineer and a professor in the university's aerospace engineering department, in a press release. "Prior to this work, if you cut off a piece of material, it's gone. Now we've shown that the material can actually re-grow."
White and his team emulated detailed biological models to incorporate synthetic, parallel capillaries within the new material. In the event of a large fissure or puncture, the capillaries release two complementary liquids that together form a regenerative gel—mimicking the blood-clotting phenomenon seen in zoological organisms. The gel fills the damaged area, eventually hardening into a polymer that is structurally compatible with the surrounding material.
White envisions that this vascular-delivery healing process will have applications in automotive, aerospace, and other mechanically intensive industries. Once it is more affordable, the technology could also be beneficial for products in high-abuse architectural settings such as building entrances, loading docks, primary circulation spaces, and envelopes subject to extreme weather. The result could be a building panel, floor tile, or corner guard that not only repairs its own small cracks, but also replaces entire pieces of damaged self.

"Fantastic, fun work shoes"

So cute but the strap is annoying
"It took me over 5 minutes just to get the buckles undone on both these shoes. The straps and buckles are so tiny and very stiff. Hoping this loosens up with use. Not sure if I'm keeping these as the annoying straps and buckles aggravating me so much. Would I really want to struggle for that long everytime I put them on and took them off? As for comfort, they're just so so. Not sure if I could wear these all day to work which is the purpose for me buying them. The toes are an odd boxy pointy shape but I really like the look of the shoes so I'm torn. They are wide enough in the toes to not cramp them. Will wear around the house this weekend to see if they're worth keeping."

In early August, roughly thirty Americans joined our Docomomo colleagues in Finland for the 12th annual Docomomo International Conference entitled The Survival of Modern, From Coffee Cup to General Plan. The week-long event took place in Tapiola, the lush garden city neighborhood of Espoo, and included a number of evening receptions in Helsinki and more in-depth Doco Tours throughout the area. With delightful temperatures in the low 70s and long days where the sun hovered at the horizon during the evenings, Docomomo US members were treated to stimulating discussions of the challenges facing architecture and conservation professionals across the globe.
Interview with Elcio Gomes da Silva

On Sunday, June 1st, a shockwave caused by the passage of two Mirage 2000 fighters, splintered a whole glass-wall of the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court Building, designed by Oscar Niemeyer. The aircrafts were performing during a monthly flag-change ceremony on the Plaza of the Three Powers, in Brasília, the modern capital of Brazil designed by Lucio Costa in 1957, and listed as World Heritage in 1987. At the plaza, The Supreme Court Building, along with the Palace of Congress and the presidential Planalto Palace, form the most emblematic monumental site of the young town.
Docomomo US Tour Day 2012 is almost here! In less than a month enthusiasts of the modernist movement will be able to take part in one of the largest nation-wide events dedicated to exploring sites and structures. Docomomo US has pulled together an exciting line up of tours and programs taking place in over twenty states exploring the country's diverse and fascinating modern architecture.
Docomomo International Journal 46: Designing Modern Life is complete and will be hitting mailboxes soon. Journal 46 includes essays and articles discussing the interior space as a site for design and modernism through its spatial configuration, devices and furniture. Guest editor Bárbara Coutinho.
In just two short months Docomomo US will kick off its sixth annual Tour Day 2012 featuring a wide array of programs that seek to celebrate modern architecture. Already with over 30 tours in more than 20 states, Tour Day 2012 continues to be the largest national event devoted to the appreciation and preservation of modern American architecture. Participants can enjoy a variety of events from a historic neighborhood circuit on a double decker bus to an interiors tour of six private residences constructed by six different architects. The number and location of tours continues to grow daily.

Existing shopping centers built between the 1950s through the 1970s on the island of Oahu are unique examples of Modernist architecture in Hawai'i, and they comprise the majority of large-scale commercial buildings on the island (or, even amongst the other islands, which did not experience the same level of commercial impact and tourist travel as Oahu during the post-war era). Precast arches, folded plates, thin shells, and barrel roofs are among the various methods of concrete forms adorning the structures. The Modernist architecture of post-war Hawai'i blended international appeal and construction techniques with a distinct regional style that looked to reinforce traditional Hawaiian heritage and articulate new perspectives on Hawaiian American identity. Although these shopping centers retain varying degrees of design and material integrity, market-driven development and renovation continually threaten to erase this important snapshot of Modern aesthetics and construction.
In the latest instance of a potential threat to an important modern era school, the City of Cambridge is in the process of completing a Feasibility Study for Josep Lluis Sert's Martin Luther King Junior Elementary School (1972) in which the preferred recommendation is the replacement of the school with a new building. This is Sert's only primary school in the United States and it is located across the street from and complements his earlier Peabody Terrace Graduate Housing complex for Harvard University.

In 1933, Frank Lloyd Wright made his first of what would become an annual trip to Phoenix, Arizona, to wait out the winter in the warm desert climate. In the years that follow, Wright would leave his mark on the Phoenix landscape, successfully constructing a number of his designs, the most famous being Taliesin West, Wright's winter home and architectural school. After Wright's passing, Phoenix continued to celebrate the architect's legacy, posthumously constructing the Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium in 1962, erecting the Scottsdale Spire in 2007, as well as renaming a portion of the city's main east-west arterial road, "Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard."

As a project of "The Next Fifty" Docomomo US/WEWA and Historic Seattle presented a three-part lecture series at Seattle Center in June 2012 that focused on the architecture and design heritage of the Seattle World's Fair and its influence and impact beyond the Fair's original campus. As part of the larger six-month long (April – October 2012) 50th anniversary celebration organized by the Seattle Center Foundation ("The Next Fifty"), Docomomo US/WEWA was thrilled to present talks by locally and nationally prominent speakers including Docomomo US President Theodore Prudon. The lecture series and project, titled "Welcome to the Future: Century 21 and Living Modern," presented a great opportunity for Docomomo US/WEWA to develop partnerships and sponsorships with Historic Seattle, The Next Fifty and Pacific Science Center, with grant funding provided by 4Culture and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. We also produced a project website/blog at century21mod.com.

Last week's Major League Baseball All-Star Game was played at Kauffman Stadium, home to the Kansas City Royals. The stadium was designed by Charles Deaton with Kivett & Meyers, and opened in 1973 alongside Arrowhead Stadium (home of the Kansas City Chiefs football team) as the Harry S. Truman Sports Complex. The construction of Kauffman and Arrowhead marked a move away from the multi-use stadium typology popular at the time and allowed each team to maximize stadium-based revenue streams. Other single-use stadiums built during the 1960s and 1970s still in use include Dodger Stadium (1962; Los Angeles) and Angel Stadium (1966; Anaheim). But almost all of the multi-use (so-called "cookie cutter") stadiums have been demolished, including Shea Stadium (1964; New York), Veterans Stadium (1971; Philadelphia), Three Rivers Stadium (1970; Pittsburgh), and Busch Memorial Stadium (1966; St. Louis). The iconic Houston Astrodome, featured on the cover of Ana Mod's Building Houston Modern and once called "the eighth wonder of the world", sits in limbo as owners and city officials decide its fate. The stadium was designed by Hermon Lloyd & W.B. Morgan, with Wilson, Morris, Crain & Anderson and structural engineer Walter P. Moore, and opened in 1965 as the world's first multi-use domed stadium. The last game was played there in 1999.

The architectural use of stone changed dramatically with the development of modern steel frame technology in the late nineteenth century, which resulted in the transition from stone as a load bearing material to a thin veneer. As with every many technology shifts in architecture, thin stone veneer experienced a period of trial and error from 1949-1980, and it was applied without real precedence or a comprehensive understanding of how it would perform (as per my own definition stone veneer is less than 3" in thickness). This reduction in stone thickness for cladding purposes required a rethinking of the systems for attachment to the structural framework, materials and detailing, and the stone selection process. Consequently, the modern architecture movement parallels the period of greatest technological change within stone veneer development.

When Minoru Yamasaki was selected for the design of the twin towers of the World Trade Center, the New York Times noted: "Mr. Yamasaki is considered one of the country's foremost architects". As if to confirm that statement, four months later on January 18, 1963, he was on the front cover of Time Magazine surrounded by parts of his buildings following in the footsteps of Frank Lloyd Wright, Eero Saarinen and Edward Durell Stone.

Advocacy efforts over Paul Rudolph's endangered Orange County Government Center had the blogosphere in a tizzy last month in what some would describe as a modern architecture meme. While a number of larger newspaper and magazine blogs carried the story, many smaller personal blogs did too. As we bookmark and follow these blogs, we thought we would share our discoveries of those also working to document and discuss the finer (or more colorful) aspects our modern built heritage.

John Johansen's Stage Center in Oklahoma City, OK stands in disuse and disrepair. Originally called the Mummer's Theatre, the building was closed in 2010 after suffering considerable damage when the theater's basement flooded. Built in 1970, the Stage Center is composed of three separate structures connected via ramps, tunnels, and tubes that frame an open, central space. The exterior is a series of raw concrete forms, punctuated by brightly colored corrugated steel in red, blue, yellow and orange.

Experience the history of the second of the famous debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas. Its was at this site on August 27, 1858 that the Freeport Doctrine, an important statement regarding slavery and state's rights, was proclaimed by Douglas. Although Douglas won the Senatorial campaign for which the debate was held, his statements lost him the support of the South and split the Democratic Party. This enabled Lincoln to win the Presidency in 1860, thus precipitating the Civil War. The site is self-interpretive through a series of waysides that tell of the events and ideas which led up to the debates, and also includes a boulder and plaque dedicated by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903, as well as the life-size statues "Lincoln and Douglas in Debate" by artist Lily Tolpo which was dedicated in 1992. The park-like setting is complete with benches, lighting, and spacious walks.
The original nine holes date back to 1913, offering beautiful views of the Rock River. The design is a 2700 yard, par 34 with lots of trees and small greens. The back nine, built in the late 60's, is a 3200 yard track par 36, with large greens and sand traps. Adding to the challenge is the Holland creek running through it, coming into play on seven of the nine holes.
CITY:Rock Falls
Established in 1915, Timber Creek is not the 'run of the mill' golf course. With gentle rolling fairways, it was designed to give the golfer ample room off the tee while giving the player a challenge of a lie that may be slightly uphill or downhill. The closer you get to our bent grass greens, you will find sand traps placed by the architect in places that add to the overall character of the course. With new sand, you will find it as accommodating as one could. Our greens at Timber Creek were designed for game improvement and the scratch golfer alike.

MoMA Symposium on Carribbean Modernist Architecture
The Museum of Modern Art and University of Technology, Jamaica to Present Symposium on Caribbean Modernist Architecture
Caribbean Modernist Architecture Symposium
Jamaica Conference Center, Kingston, Jamaica
February 28-March 2, 2008
The Museum of Modern Art's International Program and Department of Architecture and Design are collaborating with the School of Architecture at the University of Technology, Jamaica, to present a symposium on the subject of Caribbean Modernist Architecture. The symposium and related activities will be held at the Jamaica Conference Center in Kingston, Jamaica from February 28 through March 2, 2008.
The symposium will offer two days of moderated talks, on February 29 and March 1, by practicing architects, architectural historians, and curators from thirteen countries—the Bahamas, Barbados, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe, Jamaica, Mexico, Netherlands Antilles, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Venezuela—who will discuss issues involving modernist architecture in the region. Topics to be addressed include regional and international legacies, preservation, environmental sustainability, and urban planning, as they relate to modernist architectural history and contemporary practice.
Following upon the work, The Modern Movement in the Caribbean Islands, published by DOCOMOMO in 2005, the symposium aims to encourage scholarly, curatorial, and broader educational awareness of modernist architecture in the Caribbean and to assess the lessons for contemporary practice from this architectural heritage. In addition, the symposium and related video documentation will provide useful research resources for future exhibitions and publications on the topic.

LAKE HAVASU/SALT LAKE-Dora Mae Otten Spencer, age 80, passed away Nov. 24, 2009 while surrounded by her loving family in Lake Havasu, Ariz.
She was born Dec. 4, 1928 in Kenilworth, Utah to Glen J. Otten and Dora Larsen.
She married Ross J. Spencer July 17, 1946 in Payson, Utah and their marriage was later solemnized in the Provo LDS Temple.
Dora Mae was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints and she always felt it was a privilege and blessing to serve in many callings and capacities for her church and community.
When she was 11 years old, she moved with her parents and siblings to Salem, Utah where she attended schools in Salem and Spanish Fork, Utah. She worked at Smith's Food King in Salt Lake City and for Mel Hanks and Sons in Salem, Utah for 14 years. In 1988, she moved to Lake Havasu where she worked for her son and daughter-in-law in the flooring business until she was diagnosed with cancer in 1998.
Mom expressed her deep love and respect for her faithful, supportive, always-at-her-side, sweetheart husband. She cherished and was dedicated to her precious children, grandchildren, great-grands, and she always loved and appreciated her extended family, and valued her old and new friends. She was happiest when doing for her family, whether it was cooking, sewing, or making a wonderful home, she was always concerned for the well-being of others.
In her later years, she felt blessed and grateful for the love, respect, care and closeness our family gave to her and Dad and each other. Mom expressed how very grateful she was for her angel daughters, sons, and sister Katie, for the many hours of love, support, and encouragement throughout the years with all their loving nursing care to get through the tough times. The blessings and good times out merited the adversities.
She is survived by her loving husband Ross of 63 years; six wonderful children, Gayliene (Bill) Lund, Eddie (Marnell) Spencer, Sherrie (Vennie) Kraync, Kathy Spencer Stimpson, Chris Spencer, Lori (Frank) Pugliese; the best sister, Katie (Kay) Walker; 16 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, and expecting two great-great-grandchildren and one more great-grandchild.
Dora Mae was preceded in death by her parents, and son-in-law, Lynn Stimpson.
Mom wanted to give special thanks and great appreciation to Dr's. Wrona, O'Neil, Chauhan, Cunning, and all the great nurses in Lake Havasu at the Chemo Lab, surgery center, and hospital for all the years of exceptional and professional care. Love and thanks to her special friend and nurse Angela, her other angel. The family would also like to thank Hospice of Havasu, and care givers, Haylee Y. and Farrah K.
"Children I love you more than words can say, Mom."
Funeral service, Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2009, 11 a.m., at Larkin Sunset Gardens Mortuary, 1950 E.10600 S. in Sandy, Utah. The family will receive friends and relatives at the mortuary Tuesday one hour prior to services. Interment, Larkin Sunset Gardens Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price, Utah. For additional information please call 1-435-637-2668.

Li Bingbing UNEP Ambassador in China04/
Shanghai (China), 4 July 2010 - Chinese actress Li Bingbing, was designated, Sunday, as the first national Goodwill Ambassador in China for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).As Goodwill Ambassador, Li Bingbing will help UNEP in its mission to generate awareness and understanding of environmental causes, as well as inspire positive action. The new Goodwill Ambassador will help focus attention on some of the biggest threats facing the planet, climate change and environment. Ms. Li has already demonstrated personal environmental commitment through her L.O.V.E Green movement which promotes an environmentally-friendly, low-carbon lifestyle among her fans in China. She has also worked hard to mobilize the public to lead greener lifestyles. "I am honored to have this opportunity to work with UNEP on the environment. I am an environmentalist in my personal life and I try to share this passion with my fans and the wider public," she said."If we are really going to protect the planet, we all need to be accountable for our behaviour, to realize that the natural resources that have been so generously given to us are limited and need protecting if they are going to be shared by future generations," she added. A graduate of the Shanghai Drama Institute, Li Bingbing made her film debut in 1999 with the movie, Seventeen Years. In 2005, she starred in the romantic comedy film Waiting Alone, which received three Chinese Academy Award nominations, including "Best Picture" and "Best Actress". Ms. Li has sought to build on her work as a popular actress to green the high-profile entertainment industry in China. She is also a Goodwill Ambassador of the Billion Forest Campaign by the Climate Group in the Asia-Pacific region and last year she was the Earth Hour Global Ambassador. Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director said: "Li Bingbing is our first Goodwill Ambassador in China and UNEP is delighted to welcome her on board. UNEP commends her personal commitment to a greener lifestyle and her passion to influence the public." "As an actress, she has the ability to reach out and influence large numbers of people to change their behavior and to realize that a sustainable future depends on all of us working together," he added.In her first act as UNEP Goodwill Ambassador Li Bingbing , together with Mr. Steiner, opened today UNEP's video exhibition by fourteen leading international artists at the UN Pavilion in the Shanghai Expo. The installation, entitled the Nature of Cities, was created by Art Works for Change, and examines how cities must find a balance with the natural world to exist in a way that support both people and the planet.For more information contact:Mia Turner, UNEP/Shanghai, Tel. +86-13521965107, email@example.com Deng Xiaojun, UNEP/Nairobi, Tel. +254-721483843, firstname.lastname@example.com

Diagnosed: 2004Patient-to-Patient Support Line Volunteer since: 2005
Being a Support Line Volunteer helped me get over myself. Most of the time, I speak to patients who are absolutely terrified, and I have to give them hope. Being this positive for them does wonderful things for me and has changed my entire view.
One time, I was on the phone with a man who was fishing for information about PH. He was very intelligent, well spoken and articulate. He called in three times that week and kept asking many questions. I later found out that he was a physician who believed he had been having symptoms of PH. Because of his curiosity, I gave him my personal email to keep in touch. About three months later, I heard back from him. He was so thankful for my help that week.

Urges Congress to pass "Paycheck Fairness Act."
NJEA supports AR-50 (Lampitt, Fuentes, Benson). This resolution urges the United States Congress to pass the "Paycheck Fairness Act" in order to combat the persistent income gap that is attributable to systemic gender discrimination, provide women with more tools to achieve pay equity in the workplace, and assist the two-thirds of American families who rely on a woman's wages as a significant portion of their income to achieve economic security.
NJEA supports this bill because fair pay is critical to women's economic security, particularly in the current economic crisis. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median wages of full-time, year-round workers in 2008 stood at $35,745 for women and $46,367 for men. The wage gap is even worse for women of color. In 2008, the earnings for African American women were $31,489, 67.9 percent of men's earnings (a drop from 68.7 percent in 2007); and Latinas' earnings were $26,846, 58 percent of men's earnings (a drop from 59 percent in 2007).
The Paycheck Fairness Act provides a much needed, first-ever update to the Equal Pay Act of 1963, bringing the law's principles and practices in line with the nation's other civil rights laws. The bill would strengthen the Equal Pay Act by creating incentives for employers to follow the law, empower women to negotiate for equal pay, and strengthen federal outreach and enforcement efforts. The bill would also deter wage discrimination by strengthening penalties for violations and by prohibiting retaliation against workers who inquire about employers' wage practices or disclose their own wages.
Sex-based pay discrimination can mean the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars over a woman's lifetime. In these tough economic times, when women are stepping up as primary breadwinners in increasing numbers, the need for this legislation is even more apparent.
NJEA supports this resolution and urges you to vote "yes."

Melding a colourful cityscape and enviable coastal setting with a warm, Mediterranean climate, laid-back Lisbon is one of Europe's most picturesque capital cities…
We're offering you a 2-night Lisbon break including breakfast and flights from £129pp, or a 3-night break from just £149pp, saving you up to 50% off Airbridge Travel's prices.
Along with Rome and San Francisco, Lisbon is known to locals as 'city of the seven hills', and holds a privileged position overlooking the glittering Atlantic Ocean. With today's deal, you'll stay for two or three nights at the comfortable 3* Hotel Borges, conveniently set within a spectacularly central location overlooking the elegant Chiado Square and mere steps from some of Bairro Alto's swankiest hotspots. Your en-suite twin or double room features air-conditioning and a TV, plus you'll be treated to a delicious continental breakfast each morning beneath the gilded ceiling and chandeliers of the hotel's ornate dining room.
Many of the city's attractions can be found atop its scenic hills or tucked away among their crevices, and the most exhilarating way to explore them is by tram. Catch one of the brightly-painted yellow carriages down Lisbon's narrow streets and you'll discover a host of local treasures, from leafy plazas to flourishing flea markets. If you can tear yourself away from the thriving capital, cross the Tagus River to Almada on the other side and you'll find Cristo Rei - a towering statue of Christ that's reminiscent of Rio de Janeiro's illustrious Christ the Redeemer - with unrivalled vistas of Lisbon.
The deal can also entitle you to a Wowcher Wallet Credit. Click here for more info.

The ADVAN A048 is Yokohama´s Streetable Track & Competition racing tire developed for drivers who participate in autocross competition, high-performance driving schools, lapping days and circuit-type club racing, as well as are Original Equipment (O.E.) on the Lotus Elise and Exige. The ADVAN A048 is designed to take Yokohama´s advanced racing technology to a new level in DOT-approved tire performance by delivering precise control, sure-footed braking and predictable grip.
ADVAN A048 radials meet DOT requirements, however they are not recommended for driving in wet conditions, where standing water is present and there is the risk of hydroplaning; drivers should drive cautiously at reduced speeds if they encounter these conditions.Important Care And Usage Instructions: The ADVAN A048 was developed using high performance compounds which become brittle at low temperatures, and therefore should not be used in certain conditions. ADVAN A048 tires thus must be stored or used only at temperatures at or above 14°F (-10°C) to maintain performance characteristics and to avoid any damage to the tire or injury to persons or property.The ADVAN A048 molds race-ready tread compound(s) (offering Medium or Medium-Hard choices in many sizes) that can be used to match the tire´s capabilities to vehicle weight and performance, as well as track conditions and ambient temperatures. It features a single block tread design that increases tread stiffness and features a wide center area that stays in continuous contact with the track to enhance cornering stability, on-center feel and steering response.The tire´s internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped nylon cap plies and belt edge strips.The belt package is placed on top of a rounded casing design that allows the tire to predictably handle transitions from straight-line travel to high g-force cornering and back.ADVAN A048 tires are molded with 6/32" of tread depth in their grooves and are left unshaved for use on damp tracks. We suggest shaving ADVAN A048 tires, to approximately 4/32" of tread depth, to begin competitive road racing/track use in dry conditions.ADVAN A048´s directional tread design and symmetric internal construction allows remounting partially worn tires inside-out on their wheels to help prolong their life.

Essays on the Economics of Two-Sided Markets: Economics, Antitrust and Strategy
David S. Evans
Global Economics Group; University College London
November 24, 2010
This volume collects a series of essays that I have written over the last decade on businesses that create value by providing products that enable two or more different types of customers to get together, find each other, and exchange value. Part I presents background pieces on the economics of multi-sided platforms and industries in which these platforms are common. Part II examines the antitrust economics of two-sided markets including defining the difficult problem of defining the boundaries of competition. Part III comprises several papers that apply two-sided market analysis to web-based businesses. Part IV does the same for payment cards which is the industry that attracted much of the early two-sided analysis - in part because this framework was helpful for understanding the hotly debated issue of interchange fees. Part V collects several article and book chapters on software platforms. These platforms have become especially important in the last several years because they are now the basis for revolutionary developments with mobile devices (e.g. the iPhone and Android), social networking (Facebook in particular), and payments (PayPalX). The essays are published as originally written (usually, in fact, whatever version could be made freely available). The book itself consists of a series of urls (website addresses) that enable the reader to download these papers.
Number of Pages in PDF File: 14

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
Your child's family doctor or pediatrician will probably make the initial diagnosis of diabetes and possibly send your child straight to the hospital. There, the staff will stabilize his or her blood sugar levels, and you and your child will learn about insulin delivery, carbohydrate counting and more. Diabetes education may also be done on an outpatient basis if your child's condition is stable.
Once your child is discharged from the hospital, his or her diabetes care will likely be handled by a doctor who specializes in metabolic disorders in children (pediatric endocrinologist). Your child's health care team will also generally include a dietitian, a certified diabetes educator and a doctor who specializes in eye care (ophthalmologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well-prepared for any appointments you have with your child's health care team. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment and what you can expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions that can help you clarify aspects of your child's care can be useful. Some of your concerns may be best addressed by a dietitian or a diabetes nurse educator. Ask your doctor for a referral.
For type 1 diabetes in children, some topics you may want to address with your doctor, dietitian or diabetes educator include:
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
If your child's blood sugar isn't well-controlled, or if you're not sure about what to do in a certain situation, don't hesitate to contact your child's doctor or diabetes educator in between appointments for advice and guidance.

Normally polar opposites, U.S. Reps. Diana DeGette (D-Denver) and Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) re-introduced the "Respect States' and Citizens' Rights Act," which would ensure state laws regarding marijuana will not be pre-empted by the federal government.
"I strongly oppose marijuana legalization, and I did not support Amendment 64, but I also have an obligation to respect the will of Colorado voters. They passed this initiative, and I will support their voice and this legislation," Coffman said in a news release.
Amendment 64 passed by a wide margin in Colorado, making it legal for those older than 21 to possess small amounts of pot for recreational use.
Several lawmakers quickly expressed concern about the federal government's ability to override the voter-approved initiative and the state's right to exercise the will of the citizens. The "Respect States' and Citizens' Rights Act" is an effort to address that concern, clarify Congressional intent and provide guidance for the courts.
Home-rule cities around Colorado are making their own pre-emptive strikes to varying degrees, trying to protect their interests from both the state and federal governments. For example, Littleton passed a temporary moratorium on sales and pot clubs, Lone Tree banned clubs and Columbine Valley banned all sales and clubs outright.
Littleton Councilor Jerry Valdes held firmly against his council's moratorium, echoing Coffman's concern about usurping the rights of the voters.
"Did we put a moratorium on alcohol when it was being discussed it was going to be more available?" he asked. "For some reason, I think just because it's marijuana, we're reacting this way."
DeGette said she was proud to join with Coffman on the federal effort.
"In Colorado, we've witnessed the aggressive policies of the federal government in their treatment of legal medicinal marijuana providers," she said in a news release. "My constituents have spoken, and I don't want the federal government denying money to Colorado or taking other punitive steps that would undermine the will of our citizens."
In addition to their hometowns, the two legislators represent portions of the south metro area, including all or parts of Englewood, Littleton, Columbine Valley, Bow Mar, Centennial and Highlands Ranch.
