Sheriff warns accused re-offending could mean a prison sentence
A SHERIFF has said there was no good reason for a Celtic fan to have lost his temper and punched a pub patron.
It happened at the Alexander Bain hostelry, in Wick, after the televised derby match on April 29, which ended in a 5-1 runaway win for Celtic.
Liam Farquhar, 26, punched Ben Ewing claiming he (the accused) had been provoked. Farquhar pleaded guilty at the town's sheriff court and escaped a prison sentence but was banned from the Wetherspoon pub.
Farquhar, who had been drinking, didn't remember assaulting Ben Ewing, the court was told. His solicitor, Patrick O'Dea said: "The accused knows that he allowed himself to be provoked and he has taken that on board."
Sheriff Andrew Berry said that he appreciated violence was associated with football on a regular basis but added: "In this case, your team had just won, not lost, the match. and this was 273 miles away from where the game was played."
The sheriff said that it was always worrying when people who had committed an act of violence, didn't remember anything about it and ended up serving long sentences.
Sheriff Berry told Farquhar, of 46 Nicholson Street, Wick: "If you don't mend your ways, you will end up in custody as I am running out of alternative sentences to prison. That is as plain as I can state it."
In addition to being banned from the pub for a year, Farquhar was ordered to carry out 135 hours unpaid community work."

The leader of Pakistan's powerful Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) was arrested Tuesday in London, where he's been living in self-imposed exile since the 1990s.
Reuters says Altaf Hussain was taken into custody in relation to a murder case, but the BBC says he was arrested on suspicion of money laundering.
Reuters says:
"Hussain is known for his fiery addresses to his supporters in Karachi though a loudspeaker connected to a telephone. He effectively controls the sometimes violent port city of Karachi from his headquarters in a north London suburb.
"Hussain's hold on Karachi is so strong that he is capable of shutting down entire neighbourhoods of the city of 18 million."
The BBC says:
"Mr Hussain has lived in the UK since 1991, saying his life would be at risk if he returned to Pakistan.
"The British and Pakistani authorities have in the past expressed concerns that any arrest of Altaf Hussain could lead to violent protests in Karachi."
NPR's Philip Reeves, reporting from the capital, Islamabad, says, "News of Hussain's arrest hit Karachi like a thunderbolt. Traffic jams built up as residents, fearful of violence, tried to get home. Shops and gas stations pulled up their shutters; several buses were torched."
The BBC says: "One man in the city, who gave his name as Tahir, told the BBC that MQM supporters were firing guns in the streets and setting fire to any shops which remained open."
On its website, the MQM says its leadership in Pakistan has "advised the party workers to remain calm, peaceful and to stay united."
The MQM is made up primarily of millions of Urdu-speaking Muslims whose families migrated to Karachi when British India was divided into India and Pakistan at the time of independence in 1947.

We all have our favorite sweet treats that we like to munch on. That go-to snack that hits the spot when you need a bit of sugar. For some, it's chocolate, a bar of silky, creamy milk chocolate or a jar of warm Nutella poured over a couple of scoops of ice cream. For me, it's a toss-up between vanilla cupcakes and absolutely anything salted caramel.
But, if something a little fruity, and lighter, a little cakier and lemony is more up your alley, then this is the recipe you want to try. It's simple, delicious, and a home run with a big hot cup of coffee or tea. Just try not to eat in all in one sitting.
If you're in a big bustling city, chances are you can find a Starbucks at every other corner. If you don't, surely there's one nearby. What was once a small mom-and-pop shop in Seattle, back in 1971, has since become a mega-corporation, feeding caffeine lovers an assortment of fine coffee the world over! From easy-to-order light roasts to a complicated triple, venti, half sweet, non-fat, caramel macchiato, everybody's tastes are met.
Perhaps one of the most famous Starbucks delicacies, however, is their lemon loaf. A moist, fluffy, perfectly balanced sweet and tart slice of heaven that flies off the rack at their locations. But just because it's made by Starbucks that doesn't mean you can't emulate this all-time favorite recipe at home. It's really easy to make and it saves you a trip to the coffee shop! You can now make it in the comfort of your own home and make as much as you want without having to change out of your pajamas!
Here's what you'll need:
• 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup of fresh lemon juice
• 3 eggs
• 2 tablespoons of lemon zest
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 2 cups of powdered sugar
• 4-5 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
Here's what you do:
Let's get this lemon cake started with the easy part first. Preheat the oven to 350 F (176 C) and grease up a 9×5 cake loaf dish.
Next, grab a large bowl and beat in the eggs. Add sugar, Greek yogurt, and vegetable oil. Once the mixture looks well incorporated, add lemon juice, lemon zest and keep mixing.
In a side bowl, sift flour, add baking powder and salt. Once combined, add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix well without over-mixing.
Pour batter into the cake dish. Level it off, and once the oven is ready, put in dish and set timer for 50 minutes.
Check with a toothpick when done.
If the loaf gets too hot or is browning too fast, cover with aluminum foil.
For the glaze–while the loaf is baking, whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice. Add in more juice to reach the desired consistency.
Make sure the loaf has cooled off enough before you drizzle glaze. Store in the fridge in air-tight container and cut a slice whenever the mood strikes! Enjoy!

Google StreetView is now live for Latvia!
Now, after doing some poking around, there are some caveats to this. I would not agree that there is "almost 100% coverage", as some news articles say. While their coverage of RÄ«ga and other major cities appears to be amazing, once you leave the major population centres, it is not nearly that comprehensive. Though that isn't necessarily StreetView's fault – there are plenty of streets in small towns and country roads that don't even appear on Google's regular maps of Latvia. I'm not sure why this is, but a simple comparison between Google Maps and BalticMaps will show you that Google Maps is missing a lot. For example, the town of Smiltene – Google Maps has an "urban area" outline to the region, but only shows about four or five streets. Meanwhile, clicking over to BalticMaps shows at least two dozen. I have been to Smiltene, and I can tell you that there are more than four or five streets.
Despite this, however, Google StreetView can be a useful tool, particularly for those who have ancestors from RÄ«ga and other major cities, who would like to see their ancestral homes (or what currently exists where the ancestral home used to be). So have fun exploring!
While I have the opportunity, I will also mention some other Latvian mapping tools. The aforementioned BalticMaps is an excellent resource for modern-day maps of Latvia. This map provides a comprehensive overview of all of the towns and manorial estates across the Baltic provinces of the Russian Empire. It does not list individual farmsteads, but if you're looking for the name of an obscure or small estate that you can't find in other lists, odds are you will find it here. Lastly, I recommend the 1920s-1930s series of 1:75000 maps published by JÄņa SÄ"ta – you can order them on CD here. The detail is such that individual farmsteads are mentioned.
Do you have any Latvian mapping tips or suggestions? Add in comments!

Her husband may be People's Sexiest Man Alive, but Jenna Dewan-Tatum is pretty hot herself.
The 32-year-old actress stripped down to her lingerie for a super sexy Esquire shoot and all we have to say is Channing Tatum is one lucky man.
The photographs were taken well before the couple announced they were expecting their first child; as you see in the recent photos below Jenna has even more curves -- in the form of a baby bump.
The brunette bombshell just appeared in "American Horror Story: Asylum" as Adam Levine's wife (she is doubly lucky!) but 2013 is all about baby.
Pregnant or not, Jenna is always getting attention from men, explaining she got hit on the day before the interview: "If you count being hit on being honked at while you're walking down the street. What is that gonna do? Do you think I'm gonna stop and be like, 'Hey yeah! Let's go get a drink! Thanks for honking at me!'"
Check out the sexy pics above, her hilarious interview here, and more shots of expecting celebrities below!


text: As we always say there are carbon parts and there are Ilmberger carbon parts. This what you can accurately describe as beautiful and functional.Ilmberger Exhaust end cap protection carbon for the BMW R 1200 GS (LC) (2013-present) / R 1200 GS Adventure (LC) (2013-present) offer significantly increased protection against cold and rain water. Due to a cleverly chosen design, the handguards do not look significantly larger than the original part and blend in perfectly with the overall R 1200 GS streamlined look.Replace the original component using the original mounting points. Magnificent weight savings (usually saving about 70% compared to the original component) and higher rigidity. The carbon part was made completely from prepreg carbon material according to the latest technology and then laminated with a clear plastic coating for extra protection and durability against scratches and the environment. The laminated coating beautifully highlights the three-dimensional effect of the carbon structure.


text: The University Musical Society and AADL have partnered to create an online home for the UMS archives. This online exhibit contains concert programs from the first 100 years of UMS as well as photos up to the present day. UMS grew from a group of local university and townspeople who gathered together for the study of Handel's Messiah. Led by Professor Henry Frieze and conducted by Professor Calvin Cady, the group assumed the name The Choral Union. Their first performance of Handel's Messiah was in December of 1879, and this glorious oratorio has since been performed by the UMS Choral Union annually. As a large number of Choral Union members also belonged to the University, the University Musical Society was established in December 1880. UMS included the Choral Union and University Orchestra, and throughout the year presented a series of concerts featuring local and visiting artists and ensembles. Since that first season in 1880, UMS has expanded greatly and now presents the very best from the full spectrum of the performing arts, including internationally renowned recitalists and orchestras, dance and chamber ensembles, jazz and world music performers, and opera and theater. Through educational endeavors, commissioning of new works, youth programs, artist residencies and other collaborative projects, UMS has maintained its reputation for quality, artistic distinction and innovation. UMS now hosts approximately 75 performances and more than 100 educational events each season. UMS owes its predecessors at UMS a great deal, for every season since 1879, UMS staff and volunteers saved five copies of each concert program and brochure, made scrapbooks of photos and reviews, and kept recordings and autographs, which built the foundation for this rich archive.

Upon leaving Vietnam, if you still have some local money, you can change them back to foreign currency with your passport and the exchange memos given by the banks or money exchange counters. So please keep those exchange memos well whenever you change money.
What should we bring along on our trip to Vietnam?
It is best to travel light in Vietnam. One medium sized bag and a day pack will provide more than enough room to carry everything you'll need, and enough space for the things you'll buy in Vietnam.
There are lots of consumer goods in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, so do not worry about running out of something. If you do forget something you can easily find it here. Before you leave home complete the following checklist:
- Lightweight and quick dry clothing is most appropriate for the summer months, and warmer clothing for the winter months. As well, sun hat, swim suit, ultra lightweight rain jacket.
- Travel Documents: Passport, Visa, Travel Insurance, Air Tickets (you should scan them and email them to yourself in case you loose them).
- Health requirements, medications, and travel insurance arranged.
- Flashlight, alarm clock, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, small personal first aid kit, personal toiletries.
- Money: US dollars or travelers cheques and/ or credit card(s).
- Raincoat or umbrella, good hiking shoes are needed for all Footprint trekking trips.
- Camera with charger, extra batteries, and memory cards.
Are there any restrictions on the type of luggage that we bring? Domestic airlines have their weight restrictions. On most domestic and low-cost airlines You may only have one suitcase or backpack, with a maximum weight of 20kg, and one piece of hand luggage, with a maximum weight of (5 – 7)kg. An extra charge for overweight is applied.
There is no actual limit on our trips, but we would suggest you travel light with one suitcase or backpack and one small daypack or small bag which you can access during the day and carry items like your camera, drinking water, toilet paper, hat, sunscreen, etc.
It is essential that you have a lock for each piece of luggage. Without one, railway and airline staff and some hotels may refuse to handle it.
What is the best type of clothing we should bring?
Here is a short checklist of best type of clothing you should bring:
- Shorts and comfortable pants;
- Shirts, t-shirts and maybe some long sleeves shirts (for regions with mosquitos like the Mekong delta);
- Swim suits (for the beaches and Halong Bay);
- Good sandles as well as good shoes if trekking.
Nevertheless, it will really depend on where you travel to, when you plan on travelling, and what you plan on doing. Please note that the weather can be very cold during the winter in the Northern Vietnam (Nov to Mar) and quite cool in the central highlands (Dalat). You will need to bring a good jacket along for this time of the year, the avarage temperature is about 15 oC, but can get as cold as 3 oC.
Tip: Do not worry if you do not pack enough clothes or forget something because you can buy in Vietnam.
Shopping in Vietnam
Shopping in Vietnam: Many tourists can't help but throw themselves head-first into shopping while in Vietnam. Why? Probably the variety of quality goods and the tempting prices have a lot to do with it. Many low-budget travelers considered Vietnam a heavenly place because in many shopping situations they can bargain the prices down to as much as a third of the original cost.
The list of Vietnamese bargains is seemingly endless and features bespoke tailoring and the national dress, the 'ao dai' from high-quality silk and many other types of material and textiles while many shoppers cannot get enough of the local handicraft, art and jewelry.
How to bargain?
Bargain is not common in some countries, but in Vietnam it really is. In Vietnam, bargaining is always worthwhile. Yet, it is not always due to the fact that the local have a great deal of time and very little money. Bargaining is part of Vietnamese culture as through bargaining people communicate with others, create and build up their relationship, not to mention a form of entertainment.
Rule - 1: It's like the monster ride at the amusement park. If you're not having fun, get off.
Rule - 2: Don't bargain with the first person who approaches you (i.e., when looking for a taxi at the airport.) In general the further you go from the center of action, the cheaper the price.
Rule - 3: Don't be afraid to use walking away as a bargaining tool. You can always come back.
Rule - 4: Don't let pride get in the way of coming back (or Rule #3 is useless).
Rule - 5: If you really want something and the price isn't coming down, give in gracefully. (It's that pride thing again.)
Rule - 6: Don't always assume you're getting ripped off just because you're in a third-world country. Sometimes the price they're asking is the real one.
Rule - 7: Bargaining is a time/ money tradeoff. If you're in a hurry, be prepared to pay for it.
Rule - 8: Ask (Vietnamese) fellow shoppers the price of an item before you begin bargaining.
Rule - 9: Always carry small bills. Otherwise all that work is likely to be for nothing.
Rule - 10: Always bargain in native currency. Conventional wisdom says anyone who has dollars can afford to spend them.
Rule - 11: If possible, keep going back to the same person until you've gotten to know him/ her. Most third world countries have a name for this kind of relationship. The deal is that you offer your business on a regular basis and the seller responds by saving you their best tomatoes
Rule - 12: No matter what your parents told you, when you're bargaining it's perfectly okay to lie

A variety of optional styles are available for Uix ShortCodes. Go to "Uix ShortCodes -> Settings -> General Settings", you can choose the shortcodes style you want.

After activating your theme, you can see a prompt pointed out as absolutely critical. Go to "Appearance -> Install Plugins".

Go to your WordPress admin panel, edit or create a new post (or page). You'll see our tiny little button in the toolbar, preceded by a separator.
FAQ 1: How to completely customize the Uix Shortcodes stylesheets?
You can go to "Uix Shortcodes" in the WordPress Administration Screens, then link to a specific tab like "Custom CSS".
There is a second way, make a new Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) document which name to "uix-shortcodes-custom.css" and uix-shortcodes-custom-rtl.css to your templates directory ( "/wp-content/themes/{your-theme}/" or "/wp-content/themes/{your-theme}/assets/css/" ). You can connect to your site via an FTP client, make the changes and then upload the file back to the server. Once you have created an existing CSS file, Uix Shortcodes will use it as a default style sheet to your WordPress Theme. Of course, Uix Shortcodes's function of "Custom CSS" is still valid.
Note: Making a new javascrpt (.js) document which name to "uix-shortcodes-custom.js" to your templates directory ( "/wp-content/themes/{your-theme}/" or "/wp-content/themes/{your-theme}/assets/js/" ).

Buying or leasing a vehicle is an exciting decision. For many consumers, it's the first "big ticket" item they acquire. Knowing what to expect before making this important financial commitment will help you feel confident about your decision for years to come.
"To make wise decisions, it pays to understand the tools available to educate yourself on financing a vehicle," says Mike Kane, vice president of Consumer Credit Operations at Ally Financial. "The internet has made it easy for shoppers to access these tools, which can help you get the most for your money during the financing process."
This April, which is Financial Literacy Month, Kane is offering some auto finance tips to help you make sense of the process.
• Ways to Pay. There are a few different options when it comes to buying or leasing a vehicle, such as paying cash, getting a loan from a bank or credit union, or negotiating a retail contract or lease through a dealership. It's important to choose the option that works best for you. Visiting different dealerships is a way to learn more about the options available.
• What to look for. When financing the purchase of a vehicle, the total amount you pay during the term of the retail contract will depend on several factors including the price of the vehicle, the amount you finance and the Annual Percentage Rate (APR).
• The length of your retail contract matters. Retail contract terms typically range from two to six years, or longer. The longer you take to pay, the lower your payments will be, but your total cost to finance will increase. The length of your retail contract may also impact your options to trade in your vehicle, should you have an outstanding balance. Choose the terms that best fit your financial situation.
• Negotiation may be part of the transaction. The terms of the financing — such as the APR, vehicle selling price, down payment, monthly payment amount and term — may be negotiable with the dealership. Ask about any incentives the dealership offers, such as cash rebates or low APRs.
• Do your homework. Using free online tools like payment calculators or vehicle valuation guides will give you the information you need when it comes to negotiating with the dealer.
• Stick with your budget. There are ways to stay within your budget after all the negotiations are over as well. For example, once you have your vehicle, you'll need insurance. To get a lower premium, consider increasing your insurance deductible, should it fit your financial situation.
For more auto-related financial advice and for free resources, visit www.allywalletwise.com.
Remember, there is no one "right" way to finance a vehicle; only a series of choices you can make to get the most for your money. If you're planning to finance or lease a vehicle in the near future, improve your financial knowledge to better understand the process.

Remember that movie "Big" with Tom pgslot.limited who is like a ten year old kid and then makes a wish to be bigger? Then through the movie it's like a kid living inside an adult's body? Well,that's my friends and I. If you came over to visit you would think three or four kids lived there with all the video games, old posters, baseball cards, and yep we've got a couple of bunk beds as well. However, our most prized possession is the Street Fighter Skill Stop Slot Machine.
Back in the good old days, my buddies and I would head up to the mall arcade area with a roll of quarters and play each other on the Street Fighter game. For hours we would go back and forth choosing different guys and who would have thought that 15 years later we're still all hanging out together. So when I accidentally came across the Street Fighter Skill Stop Slot Machine we just had to have one of these Antique Slot Machines for the house.
On a personal note it is just as entertaining reminiscing about the times we played the regular video game while playing the Street Fighter Skill Stop Slot Machine. It's even brought back things I didn't even know was hidden in the back of the brain. Crazy I know, but one of these Best Slot Machines is definitely the perfect addition to our home. The only bad thing about it is we don't have four of them so everyone can play at the same time. However, we've been talking about it.
If anyone out there is like us and just loves old fashioned video games from the past, then stepping up to one of these Casino Slot Machines is just as much fun. The Street Fighter Skill Stop Slot Machine doesn't have a pull down lever or any of that old fashioned appeal. One thing to keep in mind though that the one we purchased was a Street Fighter II machine as opposed to the original. In fact, we're not even sure if there is an original one out there.
What we do know is these Used Slot Machines come with a key so we can do whatever we want on the inside. A little twist here, a little turn there and you can change the odds however you want inside the machine. You don't have to worry about being electrically inclined either because you'll get a manual to use when need be. Granted we haven't touched the thing yet, and like everyone always says, "If it's not broke, don't fix it."
Even if one of these Casino Slot Machines broke there's a two year warranty. Plus the place we bought it from has a technical support team to help out as well. When it comes down to it though we aren't worried about whether or not it's going to work. We just love the fact that people can come over, enjoy themselves playing on the Street Fighter Skill Stop Slot Machine and possibly win a little money. If they don't, well we'll just take the winnings and go out to buy another one. Of course us saying this is one of the Best Slot Machines around is a biased opinion.
It has a three coin max play system so you can imagine the money that can be made while you're trying to Win at Slot Machines. We didn't even buy it for that, but now people are calling up seeing if they can play $20 worth on the machine. So we oblige and eventually we'll get some new toys to enjoy. We saw this Rambo slot awhile ago. That may be next on the list. After all, we do look like we still live in the 80s. Parachute pants anyone?

A Salafist group from Egypt appears to be trying to retract a post on Facebook that warned that eating tomatoes are "forbidden because they are Christian."
However, the Muslim traditionalist group, calling themselves the Popular Egyptian Islamic Association, apparently still finds tomatoes offensive if they are cut in such a way that reveals the shape of a cross, according to the Now Lebanon website.
Along with a photo of a tomato cut in half to reveal what could be viewed as a cross, the group originally posted on Facebook: "Eating tomatoes is forbidden because they are Christian. [The tomato] praises the cross instead of Allah and says that Allah is three (a reference to the Trinity).
"[God help us]. I implore you to spread this photo because there is a sister from Palestine who saw the prophet of Allah [Mohammad] in a vision and he was crying, warning his nation against eating them [tomatoes]. If you don't spread this [message], know that it is the devil who stopped you," according to a translation by Now Lebanon.
More than 2,700 comments were left under the warning posted 10 days ago, perhaps prompting the association to give this response:
"We didn't say you can't eat tomatoes. We said don't cut it in [such a way that reveals] the cross shape."
Although many of the comments made on the Facebook post were not suitable for re-publishing, one blogger posting on his blog joked, "Warning! Your salad could be making you into an Infidel!"
There is an estimated 5-6 million Salafis in Egypt. The Salafis are generally considered to be more traditional than other Muslim sects. Last year, a group of hardline Muslims, including Salafis, were responsible for the burning of several Christian churches and businesses in Egypt that later resulted in hundreds of deaths during demonstrations against the destruction.
According to a German domestic intelligence report done in 2010, Salafism is the fastest growing Islamic movement in the world.
A writer for The Blaze categorized most news coming out of the Middle East as "intriguing, bizarre and unceasingly concerning," but said the forbidden tomatoes story "actually crosses into a comical sphere."

Pod::Text::Termcap - Convert POD data to ASCII text with format escapes
use Pod::Text::Termcap;
my $parser = Pod::Text::Termcap->new (sentence => 0, width => 78);
# Read POD from STDIN and write to STDOUT.
# Read POD from file.pod and write to file.txt.
$parser->parse_from_file ('file.pod', 'file.txt');
Pod::Text::Termcap is a simple subclass of Pod::Text that highlights output text using the correct termcap escape sequences for the current terminal. Apart from the format codes, it in all ways functions like Pod::Text. See Pod::Text for details and available options.
This module uses Term::Cap to find the correct terminal settings. See the documentation of that module for how it finds terminal database information and how to override that behavior if necessary. If unable to find control strings for bold and underscore formatting, that formatting is skipped, resulting in the same output as Pod::Text.

The study, led by Dr. Shiela Strauss, Associate Professor of Nursing and Co-Director of the Statistics and Data Management Core for NYU's Colleges of Dentistry and Nursing, examined data from 2,923 adult participants in the 2003-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey who had not been diagnosed with diabetes. The survey, conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, was designed to assess the health and nutritional status of adults and children in the United States.
Using guidelines established by the American Diabetes Association, Dr. Strauss determined that 93 percent of subjects who had periodontal disease, compared to 63 percent of those without the disease, were considered to be at high risk for diabetes and should be screened for diabetes. The guidelines recommend diabetes screening for people at least 45 years of age with a body mass index (a comparative measure of weight and height) of 25 or more, as well as for those under 45 years of age with a BMI of 25 or more who also have at least one additional diabetes risk factor. In Dr. Strauss's study, two of those additional risk factors — high blood pressure and a first-degree relative (a parent or sibling) with diabetes — were reported in a significantly greater number of subjects with periodontal disease than in subjects without the disease. Dr. Strauss's findings, published today in the online edition of the Journal of Public Health Dentistry, add to a growing body of evidence linking periodontal infections to an increased risk for diabetes.
Dr. Strauss also examined how often those with gum disease and a risk for diabetes visit a dentist, finding that three in five reported a dental visit in the past two years; half in the past year; and a third in the past six months.
"In light of these findings, the dental visit could be a useful opportunity to conduct an initial diabetes screening — an important first step in identifying those patients who need follow-up testing to diagnose the disease."
"It's been estimated that 5.7 million Americans with diabetes were undiagnosed in 2007," Dr. Strauss added, "with the number expected to increase dramatically in coming years. The issue of undiagnosed diabetes is especially critical because early treatment and secondary prevention efforts may help to prevent or delay the long-term complications of diabetes that are responsible for reduced quality of life and increased levels of mortality among these patients. Thus, there is a critical need to increase opportunities for diabetes screening and early diabetes detection."
Dr. Strauss said that dentists could screen patients for diabetes by evaluating them for risk factors such as being overweight; belonging to a high-risk ethnic group (African-American, Latino, Native American, Asian-American, or Pacific Islander); having high cholesterol; high blood pressure; a first-degree relative with diabetes; or gestational diabetes mellitus; or having given birth to a baby weighing more than nine pounds.
Alternatively, dentists could use a glucometer — a diagnostic instrument for measuring blood glucose — to analyze finger-stick blood samples, or use the glucometer to evaluate blood samples taken from pockets of inflammation in the gums.
"The oral blood sample would arguably be more acceptable to dentists because providers and patients anticipate oral intervention in the dental office," Dr. Strauss noted. In an earlier study involving 46 subjects with periodontal disease published in June 2009 by the Journal of Periodontology, an NYU nursing-dental research team led by Dr. Strauss determined that the glucometer can provide reliable glucose-level readings for blood samples drawn from deep pockets of gum inflammation, and that those readings were highly correlated with glucometer readings for finger-stick blood samples.
Dr. Strauss's coauthors on the study for the Journal of Public Health Dentistry include Ms. Alla Wheeler, Clinical Assistant Professor of Dental Hygiene; Dr. Stefanie Russell, a periodontist and Assistant Professor of Epidemiology & Health Promotion; and Dr. Robert Norman, Research Associate Professor of Epidemiology & Health Promotion, all of the NYU College of Dentistry; Dr. Luisa Borrell, an Associate Professor in the Department of Health Sciences at Lehman College of the City University of New York; and Dr. David Rindskopf, Distinguished Professor of Educational Psychology and Psychology at the City University of New York Graduate Center.

A tender addition to the #1 New York Times bestselling Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas, bridging the events of A Court of Wings and Ruin and upcoming books.
Feyre, Rhysand, and their friends are still busy rebuilding the Night Court and the vastly altered world beyond, recovering from the war that changed everything. But Winter Solstice is finally approaching, and with it, the joy of a hard-earned reprieve.
Yet even the festive atmosphere can't keep the shadows of the past from looming. As Feyre navigates her first Winter Solstice as High Lady, her concern for those dearest to her deepens. They have more wounds than she anticipated-scars that will have a far-reaching impact on the future of their court.
Bridging the events of A Court of Wings and Ruin with the later books in the series, A Court of Frost and Starlight explores the far-reaching effects of a devastating war and the fierce love between friends.

The Dead Flags say Goodbye
To quote Mr Gary Barlow, unfortunately, the rumours are true. After almost five years as a working band, The Dead Flags will go on indefinite hiatus after saying goodbye with a brief national farewell tour in July and August.
We've had an incredible time over the past few years. We've scored Top 30 singles, we've received national radio-play and heard our name uttered in the velvet-y prime-time tones of Tony Fenton and Larry Gogan. We've played and become friends with some fantastic bands all over Ireland, the UK and Europe. We wrote great songs and made records with brilliant people in places like Abbey Road. We've graced magazines, blogs and newspapers, received kind words, criticism, support and encouragement from the media. We even got to stay up all night drinking with Therapy? in a field somewhere in Germany. Most importantly, we got to meet and play to amazing people all over Ireland and elsewhere.
Being an independent band is hard work and it's a full-time job. We were more than up for the challenge and we made a great success of it for a time. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line, the band became just a job - something we had to do rather than something we loved doing. The creativity and passion ebbed away, followed by the love and we didn't realise it until it was too late.
We could go on and see what happens but The Dead Flags has been too important to us to let it die a slow death. We were never a band who had to force a smile or pretend to love what we do, anyone who witnessed our on-stage grinning will know what we mean. We absolutely loved being in this band and the fact that it didn't work out is just a shame.
So, we're wrapping things up now, while we still have some of the spark. And of course, this is not the end. The band-members will still be making music and hopefully you'll see each of us out there again, doing what we love doing. We all still love each-other - don't worry about us, we'll be fine.
Over the coming weeks, we'll be playing around the country including shows in Limerick, Cork and Dublin and bowing out with a final show in our spiritual home, upstairs in Whelan's on Friday 17th August. We hope to make this a fitting end to The Dead Flags' adventure and we'd love to see you there. So goodbye, we'll miss you and thank you for everything.
The Dead Flags
Tour Dates:
Tuesday 17th July The Office Bar, Limerick (with Appian Way)
Thursday 19th July Upstairs @ Whelans, Dublin (with Appian Way)
