Music for the English Court Recorder Consort played by Mezzaluna (Renaissance recorders).
Although the recorder is probably known primarily as a baroque instrument amongst the general public, it is rather the 16th century, which should actually be considered the golden age of its history. At that time, single recorders were certainly used in mixed ensembles of instruments, but from numerous sources there is clear evidence, that it was especially the homogeneous recorder consort, or "a whoall noyse of recorders", as some English sources would call it, which enjoyed an unprecedented popularity with both amateurs and professionals. The English Court however, constitutes a special case, since it is the only known establishment, where over a period of no less than ninety years, a group of specialized instrumentalists was officially enrolled as recorder players and members of a standing recorder consort: the Royal Recorders.

(JP) Nanki Music Library online
Integrated Repository of Musical Resources at the Research Institute for Digital Media and Content (DMC), Keio University
In Japan, there are many unavailable collections of musical sources (musical notes, books on music, etc.). Of primary consideration is the Nanki Music Library, founded by Marquis Yorisada Tokugawa (1892-1954) in Azabu-Iikura, Tokyo in 1918, which includes autographs of Beethoven, Liszt, and other composers. The Nanki Music Library was the first public musical library in Japan and actively collected many rare musical sources from throughout the world, such as the bibliotheca of William Hayman Cummings (1831-1915), a British music educator. The Library was closed to the public in 1931 due to financial difficulty of the Tokugawa family; nevertheless, international attention has remained focused on the collection.

Summer Salad with Strawberries, Prosciutto and Cacioricotta
With local strawberries finally here, I've tried to use them on as many occasions as possible. Remember my strawberries with elderflower zabaglione recipe? Well, this is the starter we served during that dinner. Pretty and seasonal, and delicious as well.
I used an Italian Cacioricotta cheese, made from sheep and goat milk. It's a young and crumbly cheese, similar to pecorino. Use this, if you can find some, or replace with a semi-soft goat cheese of your choice.
Summer Salad with Strawberries, Prosciutto and Cacioricotta
(Suvine salat maasikate ning singiga)
Serves 6
large handful of salad leaves per person (I used lamb's lettuce)
200 g (about half a pound) of strawberries
6 slices of Prosciutto/Parma ham
75 g Cacioricotta cheese
Salad dressing:
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar (I used Belazu)
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
Rinse and dry the salad leaves, divide onto plates.
Clean strawberries, halve or quarter them. Rip Prosciutto into smaller pieces. Crumble the cheese. Divide between plates.
Whisk olive oil and balsamico together, season with salt and pepper and drizzle over the salad portions.

It is like this .. If an intruder breaks into my house I am to poor to be able to purchase a Taser or even a real gun all I have is a shovel - that means if I catch someone in my house I have to beat them unconscious which takes more work and is harder on the intruder but I do not have to go to Wal-mart and spend 350 on a shotgun. We need to think more like this and less like someone with to much money and time on their hands...

1. A decision of the trial court does not become a final decision until the period for appeal has run and the case has not been appealed or, alternatively, the case has been appealed and finally adjudicated.
2. Failure of an appellee to cross-appeal adverse decisions does not prevent the trial court from revising its prior orders on remand from an appellate court.
3. In determining finality for application of res judicata or collateral estoppel doctrines, the court need not apply the same definition of finality for purpose of appeal.
4. A trial court's decision on summary judgment satisfies the final judgment requirement for purposes of claim preclusion when the parties were fully heard, the decision was made with a reasoned opinion, and the ruling is subject to appeal or, in fact, was reviewed on appeal.
Appeal from Johnson District Court; JAMES FRANKLIN DAVIS, judge. Opinion filed September 17, 1999. Affirmed.
William P. Ronan, of Overland Park, for appellant.
Donald P. Herron and Rodney K. Murrow, of Herron & Lewis, of Kansas City, Missouri, for appellee.
Before BRAZIL, C.J., KNUDSON, J., and JAMES P. BUCHELE, District Judge, assigned.
BUCHELE, J.: On July 22, 1990, Patricia Grimmett sustained injuries as the passenger in a one-car accident. The driver, Michael Burke, hit a light pole while allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. On the date of the accident, Burke had picked up the car from Lewis Toyota in Topeka, Kansas, allegedly to deliver the car to S & W Auto Sales Co. (S & W) in Harrisonville, Missouri.
Grimmett filed suit to recover for her injuries against Burke, Lewis Toyota, and S & W (Grimmett I). S & W filed a motion for summary judgment, asserting that it had no liability because it did not have an ownership interest in the car and Burke was not its agent. The trial court granted S & W's motion for summary judgment. Grimmett filed a motion to alter or amend the summary judgment decision, which the trial court denied. On October 1, 1992, Grimmett filed a notice of appeal of the summary judgment decision and order denying her motion to alter or amend.
On October 26, 1992, the trial court granted Grimmett's motion to voluntarily dismiss the case (Grimmett I) without prejudice. The appeal of the district court rulings granting summary judgment to S & W and denying Grimmett's motion to alter or amend was dismissed by the trial court "with prejudice" on S & W's motion on April 6, 1993.
On March 15, 1993, Grimmett refiled her suit against Burke, Lewis Toyota, and S & W, alleging the same claims made in Grimmett I. See Grimmett v. Burke, 21 Kan. App. 2d 638, 906 P.2d 156 (1995), rev. denied 259 Kan. 927 (1996). This case is hereafter referred to as Grimmett II.
S & W responded to Grimmett II with a motion to dismiss, asserting that the summary judgment decision in Grimmett I barred plaintiff from bringing the same claims in Grimmett II on the grounds of res judicata. In the alternative, S & W filed an answer to Grimmett II. The trial court denied S & W's motion to dismiss, ruling that its orders granting S & W summary judgment and denying Grimmett's motion to alter or amend were not final orders and, as such, Grimmett's claims against S & W in Grimmett II were not barred by the doctrines of res judicata and collateral estoppel. The trial court ultimately granted S & W's motion for summary judgment on the same grounds as its order in Grimmett I and also dismissed or granted summary judgment to the other defendants. Grimmett appealed. It is important to note that S & W did not cross-appeal the trial court's denial of its motion to dismiss asserting the summary judgment granted in Grimmett I was res judicata. This court reversed the trial court's decision granting summary judgment to S & W and remanded the case for a trial.
After the case was remanded to the trial court, S & W filed a motion for summary judgment, renewing its res judicata claim. The trial court reconsidered its earlier decision and granted S & W's motion. Grimmett appeals.
We must first consider whether S & W is precluded from reasserting its res judicata defense because it failed to cross-appeal the trial court's denial of its motion to dismiss. There is no direct authority on this question in Kansas.
We begin our analysis with the general rule that a decision of the trial court does not become a final decision until the period for appeal has run and the case has not been appealed or the case has been appealed and finally adjudicated. See K.S.A. 60-254(a); Osborn v. Electric Corp. of Kansas City, 23 Kan. App. 2d 868, 872, 936 P.2d 297, rev. denied 262 Kan. ___ (1997). If an appeal is dismissed, the lawsuit has ended. Decisions of the trial court become final and conclusive unless corrected or modified on appeal. See Wirt v. Esrey, 233 Kan. 300, 308, 662 P.2d 1238 (1983).
A denial of a motion for summary judgment may be reviewed on appeal when asserted as a cross-appeal. See K.S.A. 60-2103(h). It is, of course, necessary that a cross-appeal be perfected in order to obtain appellate review of the adverse decision. Vaughn v. Murray, 214 Kan. 456, 462, 521 P.2d 262 (1974). If no cross-appeal is filed, the trial court's undisturbed rulings would become a final decision when the case is finally adjudicated. Grimmett argues that S & W waived its right to raise the issue of res judicata upon remand to the trial court as it failed to cross-appeal the trial court's previous denial of that issue.
In Grimmett II, the appellate court did not address the trial court's ruling on S & W's motion to dismiss on the issue of res judicata. The trial court's decision granting summary judgment was reversed, and the case was remanded on other grounds. 21 Kan. App. 2d at 652-53. At that point, the case had not been finally adjudicated and was fully before the trial court.
The statute which deals with judgments upon multiple claims is K.S.A. 60-254(b). This statute provides the court with procedural latitude. Until a final judgment is entered, "the order or other form of decision is subject to revision at any time before the entry of judgment adjudicating all the claims and the rights and liabilities of all the parties." K.S.A. 60-254(b). The trial court retains the inherent power to review its own proceedings to correct errors or prevent injustices until a final judgment is entered. City of Wichita v. Rice, 20 Kan. App. 2d 370, 376, 889 P.2d 789 (1995); see generally Speer v. Dighton Grain, Inc., 229 Kan. 272, 279, 624 P.2d 952 (1981).
We conclude that S & W's failure to assert a cross-appeal does not bar it from reasserting its res judicata defense upon remand because a final judgment had not been entered.
The next question is whether the trial court properly ruled that the summary judgment decision in Grimmett I was res judicata between the parties in Grimmett II. Application of res judicata is a question of law over which this court has plenary review. See City of Manhattan v. Huncovsky, 22 Kan. App. 2d 189, 191, 913 P.2d 227, rev. denied 260 Kan. 992 (1996). The Kansas Supreme Court has held that three factors must be present for the application of res judicata principles: (1) The first suit must have proceeded to a final judgment on the merits; (2) the parties must be the same or in privity; and (3) the suits must be based on the same cause of action. Stanfield v. Osborne Industries, Inc., 263 Kan. 388, 397, 949 P.2d 602 (1997). See Lummus Company v. Commonwealth Oil Refining Company, 297 F.2d 80, 89 (2d Cir. 1961), cert. denied 368 U.S. 986 (1962) (quoting Comm'rs of Wilson Co. v. McIntosh, 30 Kan. 234, 238, 1 Pac. 572 [1883]). "[A] question once clearly and fully decided with right of special and separate review may be res adjudicata, even though such decision was only an order upon a motion." 30 Kan. at 240.
The Restatement (Second) of Judgments adopted the holding of Lummus, suggesting that unless a judgment is avowedly tentative, the preclusive effect of a judgment should be determined by considering: (1) whether the parties were fully heard, (2) whether the court supported its decision with a reasoned opinion, and (3) whether the decision was subject to appeal or, in fact, reviewed on appeal. Restatement (Second) of Judgments § 13, comment g (1980).
Since the Lummus decision and publication of the Restatement (Second) of Judgments, several federal circuits and state courts have relaxed the definition of finality for preclusion doctrine purposes. See, e.g., Wong v. Smith, 961 F.2d 1018 (1st Cir. 1992) (invoking res judicata); John Morrell & Co. v. Local Union 304A, 913 F.2d 544 (8th Cir. 1990) (invoking collateral estoppel); Siemens Medical Sys. v. Nuclear Cardiology Sys., 945 F. Supp. 1421 (D. Colo. 1996) (invoking collateral estoppel); Ossman v. Diana Corp., 825 F. Supp. 870 (D. Minn. 1993) (invoking collateral estoppel); Davis v. Davis, 663 A.2d 499 (D.C. 1995) (invoking collateral estoppel); Cunningham v. State, 61 Wash. App. 562, 811 P.2d 225 (1991) (invoking collateral estoppel); Carpenter v. Young, 773 P.2d 561 (Colo. 1989) (invoking collateral estoppel).
Clearly, plaintiff's claims in Grimmett I and Grimmett II were based on the same automobile accident and involved the same parties. In Grimmett I, the issue of S & W's liability was conclusively determined by the trial court as evidenced by the court's denial of Grimmett's motion to alter or amend the summary judgment decision. In making its decision, the trial court provided a well-reasoned opinion articulating the uncontroverted facts and their associated legal conclusions. The parties filed memorandums in support of their positions and made oral arguments at a hearing on the summary judgment motion, demonstrating the opportunity to fully litigate the issue. Grimmett filed a notice of appeal for the summary judgment decision in Grimmett I. Although the trial court dismissed the appeal with prejudice on S & W's motion, it was because Grimmett failed to prosecute the appeal.
We believe that preclusion doctrines should be applied when a party voluntarily dismisses a case after an adverse ruling has been made on a summary judgment motion. Summary judgment procedure, at least from the defendant's point of view, would become a virtual nullity if plaintiffs could obtain "overs" by dismissing and refiling a case rather than fully litigating an adverse summary judgment decision through the appellate process. See Wong, 961 F.2d at 1020.
The Kansas Supreme Court in Stanfield, 263 Kan. at 396, found that Kansas law does not appear to differ significantly from the federal law regarding preclusion doctrines. Those principles have been stated by the United States Supreme Court in Allen v. McCurry, 449 U.S. 90, 94, 66 L. Ed. 2d 308, 101 S. Ct. 411 (1980):
"'The federal courts have traditionally adhered to the related doctrines of res judicata and collateral estoppel. Under res judicata [or claim preclusion], a final judgment on the merits of an action precludes the parties or their privies from relitigating issues [or claims] that were or could have been raised in that action. Cromwell v. County of Sac, 94 U.S. 351, 352[, 24 L. Ed. 195 (1876)]. Under collateral estoppel [or issue preclusion], once a court has decided an issue of fact or law necessary to its judgment, that decision may preclude relitigation of the issue in a suit on a different cause of action involving a party to the first case. Montana v. United States, 440 U.S. 147, 153[, 59 L. Ed. 2d 210, 99 S. Ct. 970 (1979)].' 449 U.S. at 94.
"'The general principle announced in numerous cases [regarding issue preclusion] is that a right, question, or fact distinctly put in issue and directly determined by a court of competent jurisdiction as a ground of recovery, cannot be disputed in a subsequent suit between the same parties or their privies; and even if the second suit is for a different cause of action, the right, question, or fact once so determined must, as between the same parties or their privies, be taken as conclusively established, so long as the judgment in the first suit remains unmodified. This general rule is demanded by the very object for which civil courts have been established, which is to secure the peace and repose of society by the settlement of matters capable of judicial determination. Its enforcement is essential to the maintenance of social order; for, the aid of judicial tribunals would not be invoked for the vindication of rights of person and property, if, as between parties and their privies, conclusiveness did not attend the judgments of such tribunals in respect of all matters properly put in issue, and actually determined by them.' Southern Pacific Railr'd v. United States, 168 U.S. 1, 48-49, 42 L. Ed. 355, 18 S. Ct. 18 (1897)." 263 Kan. at 396-97.
Federal courts treat summary judgment as a judgment on the merits. 263 Kan. at 400. And federal courts recognize that courts need not apply the same definition of finality in applying preclusion doctrines as for appeal. 18 Wright, Miller & Cooper, Federal Practice and Procedure: Res Judicata § 4434 (1981).
A distinction can be made for different definitions for the finality requirement based upon public policy considerations that support res judicata and the single appeal rule. Res judicata is intended to protect parties from the cost and vexation of multiple suits on the same claim. The single appeal rule, on the other hand, was designed to discourage the piecemeal review of an action. Because the underlying purposes of the two are vastly different, finality need not be defined the same for both. The Kansas Supreme Court recognized in 1883: "[T]here is a growing disposition to enlarge the scope of the doctrine of res adjudicata, and to place more regard on the substance of the decision than on the form of the proceedings." McIntosh, 30 Kan. at 238.
We conclude a trial court's decision on summary judgment satisfies the final judgment on the merits requirement for purposes of claim preclusion when the parties were fully heard, the decision is made with a reasoned opinion, and the ruling is subject to appeal or, in fact, reviewed on appeal. See Restatement (Second) of Judgments § 13, comment g (1980); McIntosh, 30 Kan. at 239. Although interlocutory when rendered, the trial court's decision became final when the appeal was dismissed.
We are mindful that our decision here has the effect of reinstating a trial court decision that was reversed by this court. But, in Grimmett I, plaintiff had her day in court and the opportunity to pursue an appeal. For whatever reasons, she abandoned it. Voluntary dismissal and refiling a claim after an adverse ruling should not give a losing party a "fresh start" or "second opinion." Failure to fully litigate, including appeal, should be construed as an acquiescence to the court's decisions. The general rule which provides that once a party has contested an issue the parties are bound by the result of the contest and that matters once tried shall be forever settled between the parties should prevail. As the United States Supreme Court stated over 65 years ago:
"The predicament in which respondent finds himself is of his own making . . . . [W]e cannot be expected, for his sole relief, to upset the general and well-established doctrine of res judicata, conceived in the light of the maxim that the interest of the state requires that there be an end to litigation--a maxim which comports with common sense as well as public policy. And the mischief which would follow the establishment of a precedent for so disregarding this salutary doctrine against prolonging strife would be greater than the benefit which would result from relieving some case of individual hardship.

11 Questions with Keelin Winters
U.S. midfielder Keelin Winters is already a world champion, having helped the U.S. U-20s to the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup title in 2008. But now she is working hard to earn a consistent spot on rosters for the full Women's National Team and at some point, her first cap. As the USA undertakes an intense training camp in Florida to prepare for the Olympics, ussoccer.com sat down with Winters as she answered 11 questions about her experience with the U-20s, her move to Germany later this summer, her genetic predisposition for basketball talent and making the jump from the pro league to the National Team.
You were one of the key players on the U.S. Under-20 Women's National Team that won the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2008 in Chile. What did that experience mean for your soccer career?
Keelin Winters: "(Current U.S. WNT teammate and 2008 U-20 teammate) Meghan Klingenberg and I were just talking about it today. Winning that World Cup in Chile has been our most memorable soccer experience thus far. It was a huge honor for me and our other two captains, Becky Edwards and Nikki Washington, to not only represent the U.S. at the U-20 World Cup, but to take on more leadership roles and to lift that trophy. That whole experience gave me some really good insight into how to lead a team. We were a team filled with college players from all over the country. We all missed our NCAA playoffs that season, so it was a huge thing for all of us to commit to the team and commit to each other, and I think that was one of the biggest reasons we did so well."
Even with your youth WNT success, you know as well as anyone how tough it is to break into the full team. How has the process been for you so far?
KW: "It took me two years after the U-20 World Cup to get a call-up with the full team. It has been something I wanted to do ever since I saw the '99 World Cup. I knew from that moment that I wanted to be on the full team. We met Pia [Sundhage] at the U-20 World Cup -- she came to the semifinal and final – and back then I hoped I would get my chance, but it's been a one-day-at-a-time experience to improve enough to get called in. After college, I went into WPS. I had a pretty good rookie season and just being on that stage playing with National Team players from the USA and abroad got me seen by the National Team coaches and it got me my first invite."
Knowing what you know now, what would be your advice to the current U-20 players who have full WNT aspirations? They are currently preparing for their World Cup this fall.
KW: "I would say the biggest thing is to be patient and not give up hope that you are good enough to get here. If you are not ready now, you might be at some point. Patience is the key ingredient because making progress can be slow and tedious at times, especially at this elite level. You can make improvement, but you can only make so much no matter how hard you train. So it's about staying patient with yourself and if you work hard enough and have the talent you can eventually get here."
When you are not making rosters for tournaments and without a pro league, how difficult has it been for a player like yourself to keep playing at the level necessary to compete with the WNT?
KW: "That's probably been the most difficult aspect of the last two months for me. In order to keep myself in shape, I've been swimming and doing spin sessions on the bike and running. Soccer is the hard part because you can only do so much by yourself. You need a team in order to play, so I've been training with a U-18 boys' team in Seattle until the Sounders practice schedule got started. The great thing about playing with boys is that they are faster and quicker than me so it forces me to play faster than what I am comfortable with, which is immensely important when you come into WNT camp."
You recently had a trial in Germany with league leaders Turbine Potsdam in Berlin. How was that experience?
KW: "It was a different experience for sure. Being in a foreign country where you don't speak the language was difficult, as was being out of my comfort zone, but the practices were really fun. I really enjoyed them. For both practices that I participated in, we ended the session playing for a full hour non-stop. There were no water breaks and the coach was saying some things in German that I didn't understand. As a holding mid, one of your most important jobs is to organize so before practice I was asking (U.S. goalkeeper) Alyssa Naeher (who starts for Potsdam) how to say "right," "left" and "man-on" in German. In practice, I thought it was going to be really difficult, but once you get playing soccer, it becomes a language in itself. That was one of my favorite parts of the experience. Even though I don't speak German, I could still communicate with the game and body language."
So it was a successful trial?
KW: "Yes, it was. I decided to commit to the team for next season and signed a contract which starts July 1 and preseason begins July 8. It's been a dream of mine since high school to play overseas so I am really looking forward to the experience."
ussoccer.com: Your dad, Brian Winters (pictured above), played professional basketball in the NBA. Tell us about his career and did any of that hoops talent rub off on you?
KW: "He was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers, where he played one season, and then he was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks, where he finished his career. He was part of the trade that brought Kareem Abdul Jabbar to the Lakers, so I guess we know who got the better end of that trade. But he had a great career and he was a sweet shooter. He played nine seasons and was an All-Star twice and his jersey is retired in Milwaukee. That's also where he met my mom! As far as me getting his basketball talent, I played through my sophomore year and he always says I would have made a great point guard, but soccer has always been my passion."
How would you compare a National Team training session to any of the others you've had with many teams on the pro, college and youth levels?
KW: "The main difference is the speed of play. I thought jumping from college to WPS was a pretty big jump, but going from WPS to the National Team was yet another huge jump. The players surrounding me are obviously the best in America so they are just as athletic as me, some even more so, and I think that's something you definitely have to get used to. I think just the overall physical ability of everyone is amazing. Everyone is really strong and fit – thanks to our fitness coach Dawn Scott! – so you can't really out-run or out-muscle anyone. You have to learn to out-play them with quick decision-making and the intangibles."
Are you anxious to get that first full-team cap? Or is it more, "when it happens it happens"?
KW: "It kind of goes back to waiting for my first-call up to the full team. Now that I've been with the full team in a couple camps, I am waiting for my first cap. But it goes back to being patient. Yeah, I'm anxious, but I am more excited than anything. When I prove I play with the best of the best I know I'll get my chance."
Keelin is a unique name. How did your parents come up with that and have you ever met another Keelin?
KW: "My mom found it in an Irish name book. All of my brothers and sisters have first names that are Irish: Cara, Brendan, Kevin, Meghan and Ryan. And if you want to go beyond that, they are Irish-Catholic as all of our middle names are Saints: Therese, Michael, Patrick, mine is Mary, Cristine and Joseph. And I have met another Keelin! One of my teachers in high school has a daughter named Keelin and she would always come out to watch us play. It was great knowing another little Keelin."
You know that Meghan Klingenberg is a third-degree black belt in Taekwondo, but she is much smaller than you. Do you think you could take her?
KW: "Well, three years ago with the U-20s, I did try to see if I could take her down, and unfortunately that did not turn out well for me. But I think I am older and wiser now and I want another shot."

Intuicom's new RTK Bridge-M in-cab cellular bridge includes several user-friendly features that simplify setup and operation. These include a new front panel that allows users to monitor operation and troubleshoot performance issues, as well as a graphical user interface that eases setup chores.
"Lights on the front panel let you monitor status real time," says Joe Tradii, product manager. "If you are having a problem, you know whether it is the cellular network or whether it is the RTK data stream."
Intuicom has negotiated with major cellular providers to allow users to access cellular data plans without signing up for a long-term contract. This eliminates monthly data plan charges when the bridge isn't being used, says Tradii. Separate versions of the bridge are available for major cellular network systems, including systems using both GSM and CDMA protocols.
The suggested retail price is $1,595. That's $500 less than the Intuicom RTK Bridge-C, which includes a radio for broadcasting RTK signals to radio-equipped rovers. For information, visit www.intuicom.com.

Medtronic's deal to buy Covidien for $42.9 billion may just be the first domino in a lineup that consolidates the medical-device industry.
The acquisition, announced Sunday night, brings together the No. 4 and No. 8 players in medical devices to create the second-largest company in the industry, after Johnson & Johnson, according to Wells Fargo analyst Larry Biegelsen. While Medtronic will reincorporate in Covidien's home country, Ireland, in yet another inversion to take advantage of lower taxes outside the U.S., this deal is driven by more than tax considerations.
Read MoreMedtronic's $43B Covidien deal—and Irish tax move
"We believe that the Covidien deal is being driven by the need for Medtronic to have access to its OUS [outside the U.S.] cash, management's interest in becoming more relevant to hospitals by gaining scale across multiple segments of medical technology, and cost savings," Biegelsen wrote in a Monday research note. Medtronic has about $14 billion in cash, most of it outside the U.S.

Infertility means you cannot make a baby (conceive).
Infertility is grouped into two categories:
- Primary infertility refers to couples who have not become pregnant after at least 1 year of unprotected sex (intercourse).
- Secondary infertility refers to couples who have been pregnant at least once, but are not able to get pregnant now.
Alternative Names
Inability to conceive; Unable to get pregnant
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
A wide range of physical and emotional factors can cause infertility. Infertility may be due to problems in the woman, man, or both.
Female infertility may occur when:
- A fertilized egg or embryo does not survive once it sticks to the lining of the womb (uterus)
- The fertilized egg does not attach to the lining of the uterus
- The eggs cannot move from the ovaries to the womb
- The ovaries have problems producing eggs
Female infertility may be caused by:
Autoimmune disorders, such as antiphospholipid syndrome (APS)
- Cancer or tumor
- Clotting disorders
- Diabetes
- Growths (such as fibroids or polyps) in the uterus and cervix
- Birth defects that affect the reproductive tract
- Excessive exercising
- Eating disorders or poor nutrition
- Use of certain medications, including chemotherapy drugs
- Drinking too much alcohol
- Obesity
- Older age
Ovarian cystsand polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)
- Pelvic infection or
pelvic inflammatory disease(PID)
- Scarring from sexually transmitted infection, previous abdominal surgery, or endometriosis
- Smoking
- Surgery to prevent pregnancy (tubal ligation) or failure of tubal ligation reversal (reanastomisis)
- Thyroid disease
- Too little or too much of certain hormones
Male infertility may be due to:
A decrease in sperm count
- Sperm being blocked from being released
Sperm that do not work properly
Male infertility can be caused by:
Being in high heat for prolonged periods
Birth defects
Cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and radiation
Environmental pollutants
Heavy use of alcohol, marijuana, or cocaine
Older age
Retrograde ejaculation
Scarring from sexually transmitted infections, injury, or surgery
Too little or too much hormones
Use of certain drugs, such as cimetidine, spironolactone, and nitrofurantoin
Vasectomy, or failure of vasectomy reversal
In healthy couples under age 30 who have sex regularly, the chance of getting pregnant is about 25 – 30% per month.
A woman's peak fertility occurs in her early 20s. After age 35 (and especially 40), the chance that a woman can get pregnant drops considerably. The age when fertility starts to decline is different from woman to woman.
Signs and tests
When you should get treated for infertility depends on your age. Doctors often suggest that women under 30 should try to get pregnant on their own for 1 year before getting tested.
Infertility testing involves a complete medical history and physical examination of both partners.
Blood and imaging tests will be done. In women, this may include:
- Blood tests to check hormone levels, including progesterone and follicle stimulating hormone
- Taking body temperature first thing in the morning to check if the ovaries are releasing eggs
- FSH and clomid challenge test
- Pelvic ultrasound
Luteinizing hormone urine test(ovulation prediction)
Thyroid function tests
Tests in men may include:
Sperm testing
- Examination of the testes and penis
- Ultrasound of the male genitals (sometimes done)
- Blood tests to check hormone levels
Testicular biopsy(rarely done)
Treatment depends on the cause of infertility. It may involve:
Education and counseling
Fertility treatments such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) and
in vitro fertilization(IVF)
Medicines to treat infections and clotting disorders
Medicines that help the woman grow and release eggs from the ovaries
You can increase your chances of becoming pregnant each month by having sex at least every 3 days before and during ovulation. It is especially important to do so before ovulation occurs. Sperm can live inside a woman's body for at least 3 days. However, a woman's egg can only be fertilized by the sperm for a few hours after it is released.
Ovulation occurs about 2 weeks before the next menstrual cycle (period) starts. If a woman gets her period every 28 days, the couple should have sex at least every 3 days between the 10th and 18th day after the period starts.
If you are under- or overweight, getting to a healthier weight may increase your chance of getting pregnant.
Support Groups
Sharing with others who have similar fertility challenges can help you not feel alone. Ask your health care provider to recommend local groups. Or check the internet for resources.
Expectations (prognosis)
As many as 1 in 5 couples diagnosed with infertility eventually become pregnant without treatment.
More than half of couples with infertility become pregnant after treatment, not including advanced techniques such as in vitro fertiliziation (IVF).
Calling your health care provider
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you are unable to get pregnant.
Preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, may reduce your risk of infertility.
Maintaining a healthy diet, weight, and lifestyle may increase your chance of getting pregnant and having a healthy pregnancy.

Guts Frisbee Wisconsin Guts Championship
May 19, 2012 by Judy Trull
You might want to ask me….what is Guts Frisbee, well to the average person, they might inaccurately call it "Frisbee or Disc Golf", however don't let a die hard Guts Frisbee player here you categorize it like that. To those folks it is altogether different, Guts is a sport played between two teams of one to five players each. The objective is to be the first team to score 21 points. To start play, each team lines up facing each other 14 m apart. Play is accomplished by a player attempting to throw the disc toward or at the opposing team and within the reach of at least 1 player of that team, in such a manner that the opposing team cannot make a clean catch. Scoring is contingent on the success or failure of the throwing team. A good throw, without a catch, results in a point for the throwing team and a bad throw results in a point for the receiving team. It seems pretty straight forward, but nothing is ever as simple as it seems, or at least not in my world. At the Wisconsin Guts Championship to be held at Hatten Park in New London, there will be Team from all over the Midwest, and teams with names like "Appleton Assassins" or "Blame the Dog", you just wanna check it out. There is going to be a Players Party Saturday night at The Waters, featuring live music by the ever popular and incredibly talented Mike & Brian Experience from 9 p.m. to 1 p.m., and just in case there are some of you out there who haven't heard Mike & Brian before, come out and hear them, it is a good time to be sure. For more information on exactly what Guts Frisbee is and where you can play or how you can get started check them out on the web at www.gutsfrisbee.com.

Pope Francis seems to encourage confession at every turn, in homilies, general audiences and other miscellaneous opportunities. Most recently, Pope Francis put people in a tizzy by going to confession while leading a penitential liturgy in St. Peter's Basilica. He then heard confessions for 40 minutes.
This was part of the "24 Hours for the Lord" initiative announced by the pope March 20 and sponsored by the Pontifical Council for Promoting New Evangelization. Dioceses around the world were encouraged to have at least one parish with confession and Eucharistic adoration available all day and night March 28.
And yet, CARA at Georgetown University reports that 75 percent of Catholics either never participate in the sacrament of Reconciliation or only do so less than once a year.
So why does the Church treasure this sacrament so much despite its apparent failure?
Labeled one of the two "sacraments of healing" in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, confession is a bridge to God's infinite mercy, a path of conversion and forgiveness. As the catechism states: "The whole power of the sacrament of Penance consists in restoring us to God's grace and joining us with him in an intimate friendship" (No. 1468).
For author and blogger Mark Shea, it was a path to grace and a remedy for a lifetime of sin and guilt.
"You go into a little room, pour out your guts as you've longed to do and purge yourself of all the shame, sin and pain you've been lugging around like a lead weight," said Shea in an article for OSV Newsweekly. "[Y]ou get gentle counsel, accepting love, a tissue, if necessary, and words of absolution, spoken by Jesus Christ himself in the person of the priest. Then you walk out of there, not only with your sins thrown as far away as the east is from the west, but with grace to be a completely new creation!"
That sounds great as a one-time, big-conversion experience, but the Church, and of course Pope Francis, encourage frequent confession. This means confessing all those little sins that people struggle with on a day-to-day basis. That often means confessing the same sins over and over again. What's the point? Should the sacrament be reserved for mortal sin?
If the sacrament of reconciliation is only reserved for serious sins, it becomes easy to lose a sense of our own sinfulness, of the gravity in venial sins. In the Christian life, we are called to constant conversion, to sanctification, by allowing God's grace to root out those imperfections. Confession is even labeled in the catechism as "the sacrament of conversion" (No. 1423). Reconciliation is a valuable tool for that transformation:
"Without being strictly necessary, confession of everyday faults (venial sins) is nevertheless strongly recommended by the Church. Indeed the regular confession of our venial sins helps us form our conscience, fight against evil tendencies, let ourselves be healed by Christ and progress in the life of the Spirit" (No. 1458).
"Without being strictly necessary, confession of everyday faults (venial sins) is nevertheless strongly recommended by the Church. Indeed the regular confession of our venial sins helps us form our conscience, fight against evil tendencies, let ourselves be healed by Christ and progress in the life of the Spirit" (No. 1458).
OSV contributing editor Russell Shaw agrees, saying in an article about reviving confession that simply being sorry for your sins in your heart is not enough.
"[H[onestly confessing sins to a priest in the Sacrament of Penance requires facing up to their reality, feeling honest sorrow, and resolving not to commit them again," said Shaw. "It's true that God can and does forgive sins apart from the Sacrament of Penance. But the case for the sacrament rests upon the simple fact that Christ instituted it as the normal, natural means for his followers to use in seeking forgiveness for sin. And if that's what Jesus intended, no Catholic with even a superficial education in the faith is entitled to turn his or her back on penance."
Pope Francis also has spoken multiple times on the reality of sin, stressing that we are all sinners in need of the mercy of God. He even said "to be ashamed is a virtue of the humble."

You may search by several methods:
Search by name:
All inmates matching the names will be listed.
Search by SPN #: (System Person Number)
The inmate assigned to this SPN # will be listed.
Search by Birthdate:
All inmates in custody with this birthdate will be listed.

require you to type in at least a partial first name before it will list
Search by Social Security Number:
The inmate assigned this social security number will be listed.
Information provided about each inmate includes:
With more than 9,000 jails and prisons across the country, trying to locate an inmate can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. On this page, you will find the Harris County inmate search, inmate lists, inmate roster, arrest reports and/or booking information for the Baytown Municipal Jail in the city of Baytown, Harris County in the state of Texas.
With a minimal amount of information about the inmate and some patience, on jailexchange.com you can:
If you are certain your inmate is in Baytown Municipal Jail, or at the very least in Harris County, go to this page to search for them.
If the Baytown Municipal Jail inmate search website is not currently online or up to date, call 281.422.8371 for assistance in locating your inmate.

State Inmate
Most states have Department of Corrections websites that allow you to type in a felon's first and last name and pull up inmates in that state. Go to this page for inmates in Texas. If you need to find an inmate in another state prison system, go here.
When you click next to the inmate's name or on a link, it will show you which jail or prison the inmate is housed in. If the inmate is no longer incarcerated, but is on parole/probation or discharged, it will tell you that as well. In addition, many state prison inmate pages show recent mug shots.
Federal Inmate
The federal prison system has its own inmate locator called the Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator.
Type in the inmate's name and it will tell you where he or she is incarcerated and their projected release date. It also lists released federal prison inmates and the date they were released.
Federal inmates who are moved from one prison to another will show as "No longer in federal custody" on the system until they reach their next federal prison destination. This movement can take a few days to several months to complete, so keep checking back to find out where the inmate was taken.
ICE Inmates
The ICE Detainee Lookup allows friends, family members and interested parties to locate illegal and/or undocumented immigrants that are in the United States without permission.
They are held in detention centers approved by Immigration Custody and Enforcement until their hearing or date they are deported back to their home country.
To look up the detainee, users need the full legal name the person used upon their arrest and the country the person claimed they originated from. It helps to also have the "A-number", which is the number that ICE assigned to them upon their detention, which you can use instead of attempting to type the detainee's name.

At the annual Saint Michael's Academic Convocation on September 27th, Professor Doyle was awarded the 2013 Scholarship and Artistic Achievement Award, as selected by her faculty colleagues. My Saint Michael's College "students have the responsibility of providing direct instruction to one or more students with disabilities for the entire semester. While this may sound like "fun," students learn the huge responsibilities associated with this job. My students are planning instruction, preparing materials, teaching, evaluating and reflecting on their work every week. They constantly receive feedback from students and teachers." Professor Doyle was described at the convocation as "in the forefront of a global movement to transform the field of education for students with severe disabilities who have historically been ignored, neglected, patronized or, at best, pacified with low expectations and standards." Expert on inclusive education A widely recognized authority on inclusive education and programs for students with severe disabilities, Professor Doyle has given over 100 presentations at conferences throughout the U.S. and abroad. She is the author or co-author of 20 journal articles and book chapters and ten books, as well as many newsletter articles and reviews, and she serves on the editorial board of three journals.

What a Show!
I had a wonderful experience at the One of a Kind Show in Chicago! It was Thursday - Sunday last week-a group of 600 artists. The show is advertised as a way to buy unique gifts, and talk to the artists themselves. I had never done a show before, and really enjoyed the time I spent at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago. There were so many people there, and I got a lot of positive comments from people who stopped to see my booth. It was also fun to talk to other artists whose booths were near mine and hear about their experiences selling their art. I had postcards made to hand out, and most of them are gone! Now I am going to let it all sink in; the comments, thinking about what sold and what didn't, comments from other artists-and decide what the next step will be. It was fun to sell some of my ColorForm quilts!

A dark and intense piece for solo piano. It creates an atmosphere of sadness and tension as the lower notes of the piano are played unceasingly, similar to a funeral toll. This would work well to create an dark emotional atmosphere in any film or game
Also included is a loop in both .mp3 and .wav format which is 1:30 long, making this a great 2-for-1 purchase.
As always, thanks for listening!

You've got your uber-cool new iPhone 3G or you're rocking the new 2.0 update on your iPhone 2G or iPod Touch, and you want to try out this Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync all the
kids suits are yabbering about. One problem -- you don't have an Exchange server. You're not part of some big megacorp with a massive IT department, you're not a developer with MSDC licenses for the "testing", and you're not even small-business'y enough to pick up a cheap (for Microsoft!) ActionPack with a couple of licenses (or even if you did, you don't have the geek in you to set 'em up and administer the high-maintenance little beasties).
What to do, what to do?
Hosted Exchange.
Yup, just like ISP's offer regular old email, and we services offer Yahoo!, Hotmail, Gmail, etc. for POP and IMAP mail, some companies will provide you with similar email accounts hosted on Exchange, ready for to get your ActiveSync iPhone nirvana on. Ranging in price, some even do it cheaply and some... for FREE!
The inimitable Lifehacker points us towards Mail2Web, which offers a FREE Microsoft Exchange based email solution, and provides handy-dandy setup and usage tips (though it looks like you might need the $4.45 a month version if you want to use it directly with Outlook on the PC).
TiPb's own cross-platformer-in-chief also points us towards some for-pay, but potentially better fitting solutions from some users, with Sherweb at the top of his list, 1and1 hitting okay, and 4smartphone serving up equal parts popularity and unreliability (lately).
Of course, Microsoft itself is also entering the subscription space, for anyone who might want an ActiveSync addy straight out of Redmond...
Any options we're missing?

He tells WENN, "I try not to make it too loud but I have something called System of Rice Intensification that I'm involved with promoting.
"It's not just for rice but other crops and I've been going around the world on a grass roots level directly to the farmers, teaching a method of growing rice that uses 50 per cent less water and 90 per cent less seed, and yields four times as much rice.
"It's an incredible thing."

Professor receives prestigious nursing education award
In Rubenstein's graduate course for pediatric nurse practitioners, students not only work through case studies, but also learn what it's like to be an NP on call.
Even before she became a professor, Dr. Cindy Rubenstein was busy teaching. "From day one as a new nurse, you're always teaching. Even if you're not in an academic medical center with med students and interns, you're teaching individual patients, you're teaching families. It becomes the core of who you are."
For 15 years, Rubenstein worked as a pediatric nurse practitioner in various primary care settings, and she continued to practice well after earning her doctorate. Now an assistant professor and director of undergraduate nursing at JMU, she brings clinical experience into the classroom.
"My philosophy of teaching is student-centered and focuses on real-life application," Rubenstein says. "When you've been on the front lines, you know what the issues are. So I like to pull in case studies and adapt them as needed. Health care is always evolving. You have to stay current in order to prepare your students."
The approach recently caught the attention of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, which presented Rubenstein with its prestigious Excellence and Innovation in Teaching Award. It marks the first time that a JMU faculty member has won the award. In addition to receiving an engraved plaque at the AACN conference in New Orleans this month, Rubenstein has been invited to present a webinar for association members highlighting her innovative teaching and learning strategies.
In Rubenstein's graduate course for pediatric nurse practitioners, students not only work through case studies, but also learn what it's like to be an NP on call. "I pull from my hat all the phone calls that I got as a nurse practitioner and the students have to problem-solve," she says. "They have to ask questions and get enough information over the phone to determine, is this child in crisis, do they need to go to the ER right away, or is this something that can be managed at home? As nurses, we're so prepared to see patients, but we're not always prepared to deal with issues over the phone."
In the undergraduate Nursing Leader course — which Rubenstein developed in conjunction with JMU's Center for Instructional Technology — students must advocate for changes in health care policy. "They research pending legislation and create a public blog in which they talk about the issue and how it influences nursing care," she says. "Then they have to take a stance on the issue, contact legislators and key stakeholders, and execute an action plan. They leave the course and the program with the ability to advocate at a higher level for the profession and for patients."
Rubenstein also teaches an undergraduate elective course on combatting childhood obesity.
"We're not just educating these students to become nurses; we want them to be leaders in their profession," she says.
Before coming to JMU in January 2008, Rubenstein taught in the Bon Secours Memorial College of Nursing in Richmond. When asked why she chose Madison, she replies: "I like the culture and the collaboration and all the teaching supports that exist, not only within the nursing department, but across campus."
"Dr. Rubenstein has provided significant service to the Department of Nursing, the College of Health and Behavioral Studies, the university and the nursing profession," says Dr. Julie Sanford, head of nursing at JMU. "She is a talented faculty member who is well respected by her colleagues, our students and the community. Her innovations in classroom and clinical settings help students obtain expertise with clinical reasoning, an essential skill for new and advanced practice nurses."

Dec. 14, 2005
The Lady Bisons basketball team has not played a game since Dec. 3, but don't think they haven't been working.
Injuries and exams have been issues to deal during the past couple of weeks, but Coach Frank Bennett and his staff have been working to fix the problems that contributed to the team's 0-6 start.
"We only have one home game in our first eight games," said Bennett. "We played five games in eight days which is almost unheard of at the Division I level. We over scheduled. We will do better when we are at home and our players get healthy."
Center Katie Beth Pate and point guard Catie Woods are not expected to play either Monday night at Wake Forest or Dec. 30 at Florida State as they recover from injuries. They will not be back until Atlantic Sun Conference games begin.
"Four of our five starters have been unable to practice the past week," said Bennett. "They are missing a lot of the work we are trying to emphasize. Kaleigh Gossman is trying a new shoulder brace. Miriam McAlister has been out for most of the week. We hope to get some of them back in the near future."
One area the Lady Bisons are concentrating on is reducing turnovers. They are averaging 30.5 turnovers per game. Many of the baskets the Lady Bisons have been giving up are off of turnovers which lead to fast breaks and lay-ups."
"We have to take care of the basketball," said Bennett. "We had an incredible number of turnovers. We can't win with that number.
"We are playing 10 or more players. Our idea is that if each player could cut off one turnover we would get down to 20 which would be a huge improvement."
In an effort to get his players more accustomed to pressure defenses Bennett has been using male players in scrimmage situations. In some drills players are not allowed to dribble while the defensive players pressure them.
"We are not able to move the basketball to get the shots we want," said Bennett. "Most of our turnovers are occurring fast, within the first three passes. We have to be able to make our passes to get the shots we want and improve our field goal percentage."
Bennett is also working with his players to do a better job of blocking out on the defensive end of the court. Teams are getting too many second and third shots.
"We have spent a lot of time on block out drills," said Bennett. "I really expected us to be a better rebounding team this year than we have been in the last three years because we have more size and better rebounders at the No. 3 position."
Bennett is using freshmen McAlister, Jillian Partin, Katie Rollins and Rachel Viehmann a great deal. He likes the way they are improving and gaining more confidence.
"We have worked on a lot of things and fixed things that needed to be fixed," said guard Dana Carrigan, the only healthy starter in practice. "We have had a couple of weeks of good practice. I think it has helped us out."

Feasting with dogs and socks.
What comes to mind when you see the color orange?
A pumpkin.
Did you ever get in trouble while you were in school? If so, what was it for?
I was actually very shy and quiet all through school. Okay, I was a goody-two-shoes. I can only remember three specific times I got in trouble:
- In 5th grade, I was caught eating Smarties on the playground. I had to write "I will not eat candy on the playground" 100 times.
- In 6th grade, all the girls in the class ganged up on another girl. We received a stern talking to from the principal and our teacher. This was certainly not my proudest moment. Meg Jamison, if you're out there, I am truly sorry.
- In my senior year of high school, I was kicked out of the National Honor Society because my grades dropped below their standards. The assistant principal of the high school personally kicked me out and thought it was a horribly solemn occasion. I was actually quite amused at being kicked out and he kept trying to impress upon me how serious the situation was. It didn't work. Flash forward six months to the Senior Party (held after graduation and lasting all night) and this assistant principal was in the dunk tank. I was the first person to dunk him. 🙂
Which topping(s) make up your perfect pizza?
Papa Murphy's Papa's Favorite Pizza. Hold the mushrooms and add tomatoes.
Main Course
Do you believe in UFOs/aliens/etc.? Why or why not?
I don't necessarily believe in them, but I don't not believe in them, either.
What color is your bedspread/comforter/quilt?
I don't have any of the above. My bed partner is quite hairy, so I cover the bed with a blanket. I have three blankets that each serve a couple days on the bed before being moved into the washing machine. The blankets are hot pink, lime green and mauve pink.
I was driving out of Colorado Springs at sunset today and snapped this picture of Pikes Peak:

Earlier tonight, Kishka was holding court with the Shepherds. I don't know what she was saying, but she was very emphatic:

About The Contributors
Samantha is a bisexual switch who has been a part of the SM and swinger communities for 12 years. Her favorite motto, which she uses for both worlds is, "If it isn't fun, then why the fuck do it?" Following in a tradition of her own creation, she would never claim to know the One True Way. And would not spend much time (let alone play) with anyone who would say such things. She is an active volunteer and she has several causes (kinky and not) that she supports.
Byrdie is currently a student who is trying to find ways to recover from codependency in every aspect of her life including romantic relationships, friendships, and work. She says she is learning to tell the difference between her instincts and knee-jerk reactions to triggers. She's also learning not to be so afraid of failure. As she says, she has just as much right to ask for things, speak out, act, and follow her dreams as anyone else. Byrdie now says she is a hedonist. She wants what she wants when she wants it. She prefers primal play (punching, biting, scratching, growling) and deep thud sensations. And she has a fondness for Daddy/Girl play. She identifies as someplace between bisexual, pansexual, and heteroflexible, and is working to improve trust and sensual intimacy with other women. She is one of the earliest members of the Center for Sex Positive Culture. She is an avid attendee at culture-oriented workshops and is easing back into the social scene. Most recently Byrdie initiated the Seattle edition of Mollena Williams' "Know Your Negro," a photography project intended to bring attention to the dearth of brown faces in the Kink/Leather world.
Jack Slash, aka Jack the Journeyman, has been a member of the Seattle Leather community since 1982, and a practitioner of S/M since 1974. Before the year 2002, he was known as "Dragon Xcalibur." He holds two past Leather titles: Seattle Leatherwomon 1988 and Seattle Leather Ambassador 1997. In the eighties and nineties, he was a member of the now disbanded Leather doo-wop singing group, The Sluts from Hell. He teaches workshops, judges local and international contests on the West Coast, participates in local fund-raisers, and leads spirituality circles at Queer Leather events since the 1980′s in Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, B.C. and San Francisco. Workshop presentations include-blood sports, branding, impact play, fear and terror, ritual sacrifice, and honeybees. He is a sought after speaker on the topic of S/M and gender fluidity within the Leather community. As part of a group of community elders he often shares his perspective on the Pacific Northwest Leather history. Jack says that S/M has informed his life and his personal spiritual path for more than thirty years bringing him lifelong friendships, great enlightenment, and much joy and pleasure.
Kristen Knapick, MA, LMHCA, is a psychotherapist in private practice in Seattle. She specializes in working with those for whom kink/poly/sex work/queerness/gender variance are a part of life whether the source of a problem or not. Her nearly 20 years of experience as a member of all of these communities gives her a unique, non-judgmental perspective on mental health within them, and her professional training has sharpened her skills. Kristen has presented material at Babeland, Powersurge, Living in Leather, The Center for Sex Positive Culture, Women In Kink, and Gender Odyssey. She has organized professional trainings for mental health providers on polyamory and BDSM, and created a research project to explore the aging of the transgender community and the ways in which our current system is unprepared for assisting these trailblazers. Currently, Kristen is working to raise awareness and visibility for the needs of trans/gender-nonconformists, sex workers, and kinky and/or polyamorous people within the mental health system.

Diabetes is a complex, chronic disease that affects many body systems and requires treatment for the rest of your life. Because diabetes affects so many parts of your body, it has the potential to involve many medical specialists.
You have a lot to learn about both your disease and how best to manage it. But you do not have to go through this process alone. Health professionals can help you make good choices about your diabetes treatment. Working with a team, you can make the lifestyle changes that allow you greater control over the disease and how it develops over time.
The following table provides information about the health professionals who may be involved in your care. You need to see some of these professionals regularly. Others you may see only occasionally or if you develop complications.
What is their role?
When would you see them?
|Nurse educator
Educates people and helps them take control
Often coordinates treatment
After diagnosis, to learn about diabetes and the daily treatment (for example, how to give an insulin injection)
As needed, when daily treatment needs adjusting
|Primary care physician:
Other health professionals that may serve as primary care coordinators:
