Again, another great article from Southern Maryland News illustrates how many issues the counties of southern Maryland are all facing together.
The presidents of the three Southern Maryland farm bureaus blasted a new state law limiting growth on septic systems during a meeting with the region's lawmakers Friday.
Under the Sustainable Growth and Agricultural Preservation Act, known as the "septic bill" and passed last year by the Maryland General Assembly, counties are required to draw and submit to the state maps drawn into four tiers identifying where new construction can be built on septic systems or public sewer.
The bill designates land already served by public sewer systems as Tier I, and land that is intended to be served by sewer in the future as Tier II. Septic systems will only be allowed in subdivisions in Tier III areas, which include nonagricultural, nonforested areas where there are no plans to build public sewer. Only limited growth on septics will be allowed in Tier IV zones, which are reserved for farming and forest preservation.
Farmers have opposed the bill, claiming it strips their land of its value by reducing the number of homes that a potential developer can build on it.
"When the state comes in and tells you what you can do with your property, that's a stealing of property rights. That's robbery," Charles County Farm Bureau President David Hancock Jr. said. "We feel the bill was developed by urban state officials to force control over rural parts of the state, and that's not fair. That's why we have our rural legislators, to fight for us."
Calvert County Farm Bureau President Thomas D. Briscoe said farmers have led the way on voluntary land preservation since the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Program started in 1977 and that the bill "unfairly targets our landowners and is really the latest of piece of legislation that devalues our property once more."
Briscoe said the septic bill "is unnecessary and should be abolished," or that farmers should be compensated for the lost value of their land. Hancock said compensation would make the bill "a little bit easier of a pill to swallow."
St. Mary's County Farm Bureau President James K. Raley said the idea behind the septic bill — promoting smart growth and land preservation — "is not inconsistent with what's been the philosophy of the Maryland Farm Bureau … but with this particular instance, it's the details and the implementation of those details that require further consideration and possibly some litigation to make this law something that the people of Maryland can live with and work with and still make a living as a farmer."
Raley said a farmer's land equity is one of the main things banks look at when considering whether to hand out the loans needed to run a farm as a successful business.
"People have said that it's not stealing property rights from you. You have a large farm [and] you can only put seven houses on it, you cannot tell me that that's not stealing property rights," Hancock said. "The other thing we catch is a lot of people seem to think that all we want to do is develop our farms, and that's not true. I grew up on a farm, and that's the way I want it to be."
The delegation also got an update on the development of each county's tier maps from the presidents of their respective county commissioner boards.
Charles County commissioners' President Candice Quinn Kelly (D) recapped the county's ongoing tier map process, stating that the commissioners are waiting on the county's planning commission to take further action on its new comprehensive plan.
In Calvert County, where there is little public sewer outside of its seven town centers, officials have deferred action on its tier maps until the end of the legislative session to see if lawmakers make any changes to the bill.
Under a draft plan, Tiers I and II would include only 5 percent of Calvert, while Tiers III and IV would make up 45 and 47 percent, respectively. Under the plan, only one home would be allowed for every 10.6 acres in Tier IV. There are 90 landowners in Tier IV whose land would lose the potential for a combined 1,012 lots, according to a status report prepared for the delegation.
As a result, the bill will further disincentivize Calvert's transferable development rights program, which already took a hit during the recession due to declining property values, said Chuck Johnston, director of the Calvert County Department of Community Planning and Building.
"Calvert County has a 40-year history of land preservation through its groundbreaking [TDR] program," the county wrote in the status report. "Property owners in Calvert have entered into this program in good faith and rely on the program remaining strong and viable. Limits on development in Tier IV have undercut this viability."
The report includes several recommended changes to the bill, including allowing major subdivisions — in Calvert, eight or more lots — on septic in Tier II but requiring that homeowners agree to hook up to public sewer once taps become available.
St. Mary's County commissioners' President Jack Russell (D) said the county has "basically finished" its tier maps and that the Maryland Department of Planning has said the maps closely adhere to the bill's guidelines.
Russell said the "vast majority" of parcels in the county's rural preservation districts would be unaffected by the bill because they're either permanently protected already or too small to be subdivided any further.
"Tier mapping alters but does not undermine the effectiveness of our county TDR program," Russell said.
The county estimates that the bill will downzone 1,250 rural parcels, eliminating a potential 11,000 lots, but will retain the potential for 7,500 lots. In total, the bill places the county's buildout at 32,240 lots, of which 20,790 are existing.
"I have not heard of any groundswell of complaints," said Phillip Shire, director of the St. Mary's County Department of Land Use and Growth Management. "I don't feel threatened by the program."
Del. Anthony J. O'Donnell (R-Calvert, St. Mary's) took issue with Shire's comments.
"I represent St. Mary's County, and I've heard a whole bunch of complaints," he said.
Russell said the commissioners have had "many objections" to the bill, but "instead of saying 'no' all the time … we've tried to work through this."
O'Donnell expressed skepticism that Russell's feelings on the bill match those of the county's four Republican commissioners.
"What I'm trying to do is ascertain the real, true level of anxiety in St. Mary's County with regard to this policy, and I think it's much higher than is being represented right here," he said.
Del. Mark N. Fisher (R-Calvert) remarked that the delegation's meeting room was full "because there was indeed a taking of [property] rights." He said the fiscal note for failed legislation that would have repealed the septic bill admits as much, by stating that repeal would result in a net gain in property tax revenue by lifting restrictions on new development.
"In other words, an absolute definition by the state of Maryland that it took value away from the property owners of Southern Maryland and throughout the state. That's why we're here," Fisher said. "You either believe in the private property rights, or you do not."
The fiscal note indicates that the septic bill might decrease the value of agricultural land in Tiers III and IV while increasing the value of properties in Tiers I and II.
Del. John F. Wood Jr. (D-St. Mary's, Charles) agreed with Fisher regarding the septic bill's affect on property values throughout the state.
"You've taken money out of people's pockets, and that's what we work for. We work to have something to pass along to our kids and families," Wood said. "Everybody doesn't want to live in Lexington Park or Leonardtown or Waldorf or wherever. There are people who want to live in the rural areas, and we're forcing people to live in these areas where they don't want to live, and that is wrong."
As the only full-time farmer in the state legislature, Sen. Thomas "Mac" Middleton (D-Charles) said farmers' "anguish" over the septic bill "has to do with [land] value."
"They were playing by the rules," he said. "The rules were there, they made investments, and now the rules change."
But Middleton believes the concerns over land can be addressed without repealing the bill "and take a lot of sting out of the program." He suggested that the commissioners enact a local ordinance placing a floor value on the county's TDRs to keep them from becoming "almost worthless."
"I think with the right tuning to it that [the septic bill] can be something that I think in the end is going to be good for the state," Middleton said.
Del. C.T. Wilson (D-Charles) said he understands why people were upset about declining property values but added that many Charles County citizens also are upset with continuous home construction when there are so many existing houses in foreclosure, which also hurts property values.
"This plan is going to affect each and every person, even if you don't own a home," Wilson said. "Not just the value of the homes but also the schools, the roads, the use of services, as well as the farmers."
Rural Maryland Coalition President and Allegany County commissioners' President Michael McKay (R) and Frederick County commissioners' President Blaine Young (R) also spoke to the delegation in opposition to the septic bill.
O'Donnell presented an aerial image of a muddied Chesapeake Bay taken in September after Tropical Storm Lee, during which the Conowingo Dam overflowed and an estimated four million tons of sediment washed into the Susquehanna River, the bay's largest tributary, while overflows at various wastewater treatment plants sent millions of gallons of raw sewage into the bay.
O'Donnell said the state would be better served to fix such facilities to prevent future spills rather than "going after farmers."
Fisher asked Maryland Secretary of Planning Richard Hall, who attended the meeting, whether he still felt the septic bill would not result in a loss of land value, as he had said last year in a meeting with the delegation.
"I do, in the aggregate sense," Hall said, adding that recent sales data shows the average price of farmland remaining steady or even increasing. "I think in some cases perhaps, in others not."

This gallery contains images of unsafe sex practices, also known as barebacking. Engaging in sexual practices without the use of a condom is a risky and unnecessary behavior. There are a lot of studios including the one listed on this page that film bareback or have bareback scenes in their content libraries. The images presented below should only be used for fantasy and you should not deceive yourself into thinking that "everyone is doing it." Further, you should not assume that just because you see photos or film content of barebacking that sexually transmitted diseases have been miraculously cured. HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases are very real and potentially lethal. Please practice safe sex in your own life and educate yourself regarding the dangers of not wearing a condom before having sexual encounters. Visit AMFAR for more information about safer sex.
This just make me want to go out and throw caution to the wind, but I can only dream of licking a hairy asshole such as this.

ADDED: An obit:
During his 30 years in Capitol Hill, the North Carolina Republican became a powerful voice for a conservative movement that was growing both in Congress and across the country, and he used his position to speak out against issues like gay rights, federal funding for the arts and U.S. foreign aid.Ugh. Mixing "conservative ideals" with racism.... I think that made millions of young people hate conservatism.
"I had sought election in 1972 to try to derail the freight train of liberalism that was gaining speed toward its destination of government-run everything, paid for with big tax bills and record debt," Helms wrote in his 2005 memoir, "Here's Where I Stand."
"My goal, when my wife, Dot, and I decided I would run, was to stick to my principles and stand up for conservative ideals."...
In 1960, he moved to the executive offices of Capitol Broadcasting Co., the parent of WRAL, and he developed a strong following across eastern North Carolina over the next decade by appearing in editorials that ran at the end of each night's evening newscast. The editorials blended folksy anecdotes with conservative viewpoints that blasted the federal government, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and other entities he viewed as too liberal. In one noted editorial, he suggested building a wall around the UNC campus, which he called the "University of Negroes and Communists," so that its liberal sentiments could be contained.
[H]e was accused of using racial politics to secure narrow victories. In the 1990 campaign against [former Charlotte Mayor Harvey] Gantt, for example, a Helms television ad showed a white man's hands crumpling a rejection notice from a company that had used an affirmative action program to hire a black job candidate.Did he really die on the 4th of July? The president of the Jesse Helms Center announced that the time of death was 1:15 a.m. on Friday. It has long been considered an important distinction to die on the 4th of July, as, most notably, both Thomas Jefferson and John Adams did in 1826. And now Jesse Helms has that distinction.
His views on race relations – he opposed a national holiday honoring slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., led a filibuster against the extension of the Voting Rights Act and called some young blacks "Negro hoodlums" – and social issues sharply divided the public into those who viewed him as a champion of the common man and those who thought of him as a narrow-minded bigot....
"What is unique about Helms – and from my viewpoint, unforgivable – is his willingness to pick at the scab of the great wound of American history, the legacy of slavery and segregation, and to inflame racial resentment against African Americans," [David] Broder wrote shortly after Helms announced that he wouldn't seek re-election in 2002.
But death is an end, and the 4th — though it is a famous death day — more properly represents a beginning. In the hope that the era of Jesse Helms is really dead, let's look at another closeup of the Declaration of Independence:

All right, now that the virginizer is out, I have created a guide which will let you know how to get from an unlocked iPhone running 1.0.2 (NOT unlocked with IPSF) to an unlocked iPhone running 1.1.1.
The first installment of the guide, How to Virginize your 1.0.2 iPhone (which is basically just downloading the baseband is all), is now finished. I have the screenshots done for the next 3 bits as well (upgrading to 1.1.1, preparing the 1.1.1 phone for modding/unlock, and unlocking 1.1.1), and will have the guides up tonight.
Good clean fun.
Thanks to jwdav, I added a step in the first part - restoring to a clean 1.0.2 before preparing to upgrade to 1.1.1. This should fix some folks issues.
NEW GUIDE: Virginize, upgrade, and unlock. From 1.0.2 to 1.1.1.

Plantar Fasciitis is a painful inflammation of the sheath (the plantar fascia) connecting the heel and the toes. Excessive stretching of the plantar fascia creates pain and swelling, making walking and standing uncomfortable. This condition can even lead to the formation of calcium deposits on the heel bone, resulting in heel spurs.
This condition can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
Heel pain is the most common symptom of plantar fasciitis. Pain is typically worst in the morning when you first stand on your feet, although it can occur at any time of the day.
You may also experience heel or arch pain if you have been walking or standing for long periods of time, or stretching your arch while walking up stairs.
Pain typically develops gradually, and may affect one or both feet. The pain often feels as if you are being stabbed in the heel. As the plantar fascia stretches over the course of the day, pain may subside.
Products that can help alleviate symptoms of plantar fasciitis are typically those that help keep the plantar fascia stretched, and/or provide additional support to the arch. These products include:

This is the twentieth annual survey in this series that explores changes in important values, behaviors, and lifestyle orientations of contemporary American youth. The students are randomly assigned one of six questionnaires, each with a different subset of topical questions but all containing a set of "core" questions on demographics and drug use. There are about 1,300 variables across the questionnaires. Full details on the research design and procedures, sampling methodology, content areas, and questionnaire design, as well as percentage distributions by respondent's sex, race, region, college plans, and drug use, appear in the annual ISR volumes MONITORING THE FUTURE: QUESTIONNAIRE RESPONSES FROM THE NATION'S HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS.

Data Collection Notes
MTF does not release detailed geography codes in its public use files because of the disclosure risk it would cause. The MTF sample is drawn to generate representative samples of the four Census Bureau regions of the country (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West), but it does not generate representative samples of smaller geographic areas such as states, counties, or cities. For additional information about data that is withheld from the public use files please contact MTF directly at email@example.com.
(1) Percentage distributions provided in the codebook were generated using full weights, which are not available on the public use files. Therefore, these results cannot be replicated using the public use files. The differences between results produced using the full weights and those produced using the sampling weights available on the public use files are estimated to be below 1 percent. (2) To protect the anonymity of respondents, all variables that could be used to identify individuals have been collapsed or recoded on the public use files. These modifications should not affect analytic uses of the public use files.
Multistage area probability sample design involving three selection stages: (1) geographic areas or primary sampling units (PSUs), (2) schools (or linked groups of schools) within PSUs, and (3) students within sampled schools. Of the 72 PSUs, 8 were selected with certainty and 62 were selected with probability proportionate to size based on the size of the senior class. In schools with more than 400 seniors, a random sample of seniors or classes was drawn. In schools with less than 400 seniors, all seniors were asked to participate. Each school was asked to participate for two years, so that each year one-half of the sample is replaced. Schools refusing participation were replaced with similar schools in terms of geographic location, size, and type of school (e.g., public, private/Catholic, private/non-Catholic).

2007-06-29 Previously all variables for each part were missing value labels. Value labels have now been included. Also, the missing values designation for the question asking about religious preference (variable 168) was incorrect. This has been corrected.
2005-11-04 On 2005-03-14 new files were added to one or more datasets. These files included additional setup files as well as one or more of the following: SAS program, SAS transport, SPSS portable, and Stata system files. The metadata record was revised 2005-11-04 to reflect these additions.
1998-05-27 The codebooks are now available as PDF files. Also, the SAS data definition statements for Forms 1-6 and the SPSS data definition statements for Forms 3-6 are being reissued with corrected formats for the weight variable.
1996-04-04 ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
- Created online analysis version with question text.
- Performed recodes and/or calculated derived variables.
- Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.
Each of the seven parts contains a weight variable, V5. They were originally varied by school but were modified to protect respondent confidentiality. Users should use the weight variable for all analyses, the results of which will differ slightly from published data tables that used original data.
The public-use data files in this collection are available for access by the general public. Access does not require affiliation with an ICPSR member institution.

Transylvania County Public Schools officials approved the district's interim budget Monday, presented each June to allow the school system to pay salaries and operating expenses until the adoption of the final budget for the new fiscal year that begins July 1.
Transylvania County Public Schools officials approved the district's interim budget Monday, presented each June to allow the school system to pay salaries and operating expenses until the adoption of the final budget for the new fiscal year that begins July 1.
On May 30, the Board of Commissioners voted to accept the county manager's recommendation to fund the school system just shy of $10 million in local current expense, which is an increase of just over a half-million dollars over last year.
Commissioners also agreed to give the school system $1.6 million for its capital outlay budget, which is a decrease of $200,000 from the requested $1.8 million.
Facing the threat of state budget cuts to education, the school system's Director of Business Services Norris Barger reassured the school board that proposed state cuts to teacher assistants could be effectively counterbalanced by "discretionary reduction" in other areas.
"We've got some areas we can pull from to save those positions," Barger added.
Brevard High stadium lights
Also at Monday's meeting, the school board approved a resolution authorizing Barger to accept additional bids to replace the lighting system at Brevard Memorial High School Stadium. He currently has one bid, but expects to entertain at least one or two more by the end of July.
The current lighting system is "not up to code," Barger said, and has been experiencing outages related to bad wiring.
Replacing the lighting system — at a cost of roughly $167,000 financed lease-to-purchase over five years, with a 25-year guarantee for the entire system, according to the one bid received so far — is a "safety issue," Barger said, adding that addressing only the wiring issues easily could add up to $100,000, making replacing the entire system and paying for it over a five-year period "a no-brainer."
The new system would include new lights, wiring, poles and breakers as well as adding web-based computerized control system.
Several board members expressed reservations about spending that amount when teacher assistants' jobs were under pressure, but were persuaded by the fact that the current system was not up to code, was therefore unsafe, and needed continual maintenance that was costing the county money each year.
Additional capital needs in the budget included installing access-control systems in every school in the county, completing roof repairs at Brevard and Rosman high schools, creating a kindergarten classroom addition at Pisgah Forest Elementary and repairing or replacing the HVAC systems at several schools.

Spotify's aim from the very beginning was to make music on-demand available to all. To give you the power to listen to, discover, share and manage your music the way you want to - simpler, faster, better - while making sure the artists whose music we all love continue to see the benefits as we grow.
Making Spotify available to millions across Europe has seen the service become incredibly popular. People are listening to more music and from a wider range of artists than ever before, and are giving up on piracy, which is exactly what we hoped would happen.
So it's vital that we continue offering an on-demand free service to you and millions more like you, but to make that possible we have to put some limits in place going forward.
Here's how the changes will work:
- New Spotify users will be able to enjoy our unrivalled free service as it is today for the first 6 months.
- As of May 1st, any user who signed up to the free service on or before November 1st 2010 will be able to play each track for free up to a total of 5 times. Users who signed up after the beginning of November will see these changes applied 6 months after the time they set up their Spotify account.
- Additionally, total listening time for free users will be limited to 10 hours per month after the first 6 months. That's equivalent to around 200 tracks or 20 albums.
The changes we're having to make will mainly affect heavier Spotify Free and Open users, as most of you use Spotify to discover music – on average over 50 new tracks per month, even after a year. Plus, the average user won't reach the limit on plays for 7 out of 10 tracks, after a year of using Spotify. For those of you using Spotify to find new tracks to enjoy and share with friends, these changes shouldn't get in the way of you doing that. Rest assured that we'll continue to bring you the biggest and most diverse music catalogue available.

In spite of the fact that this generation in Doylestown OH 44230 is more educated than their grandparents, most college and university graduates lack the basic skills and discipline for managing money in Doylestown OH 44230. It appears that financial education courses are lacking in the school systems.
Here are 10 rarely used but practical money management tips that were more popular in Doylestown OH 44230 in Grandad's day and should be revived today.
1. Save for yourself first. Try to put around 5 to 10 percent of your income into a savings account before you pay your bills.
2. Create a budget and stick to it. You need to know where in Doylestown OH 44230 and how you spend your money so you can eliminate unnecessary expenses in order to meet your financial goals.
3. Set Goals! As you plan a budget, try to identify your family's short and long term financial goals. Working toward a fixed goal makes saving money easier. For example, you can decide that in 10 years, you should be able to eliminate your mortgage, or have sufficient money saved to buy a home.
4. Save To Spend! You don't need to deprive yourself in Doylestown OH 44230. You simply need to be able to pay for it with cash. For example, if you must have that new entertainment center, save for it and buy it only when you have the cash in hand to pay for it. When ever possible, do not use
credit of any kind.
5. Avoid unnecessary debt. We are steeped in a debt culture where everything from consumer goods to education is bought with credit. Reduce your debts wherever you can. There is no such thing as good debt in the long run.
6. Set up an emergency fund. In addition to your savings account, try to set some money aside as an emergency fund. When you have any immediate requirement or an unplanned emergency, your emergency fund will help you stay away from loans.
7. Stop Using Credit Cards! Credit cards are the primary root of our debt in Doylestown OH 44230, yet it is difficult to do without them. Learn to maximize the benefits they offer. Resist the urge to use your credit card for anything but an emergency or items you can and will pay off at the end of every month. Paying your credit card balance in full every month will help prevent the (APR) annual percentage rate of interest from rising.
8. Compare Credit Cards. Research extensively before you apply for a credit card in order to get the card that best suits your needs. Compare their annual fees, interest rate, grace period, late fees and any other charges.
9. Get a debit card. With a debit card, you develop the discipline in Doylestown OH 44230 of staying within your financial limits. A debit card gives you instant access to your money and limits your spending capacity to the available cash in your bank account.
10. Never use your credit card for cash advances. You will have to deal with unbelievable interest rates that usually begin at the moment you take the advance. If you need a cash advance from your credit card, you are overspending. Go back, review your budget and goals, then get back on track.
Realize that using your credit card is taking out a loan. Every time you take out your credit card to buy something in Doylestown OH 44230, ask yourself if that product or service is so necessary that you are prepared to take out a loan for it. You will likely realize that the purchase can wait until you have the cash in hand to pay for it.

Hi Guys,
Anyone else notice how rare it is for a twink to top a non-twink in (either regular or amateur) porn? Usually some daddy or jock pounds the hell out of some skinny twink's ass, after letting that twink suck his shaft for a couple of minutes. It all seems to focus on "twink submission" and getting the other guy off.
Well I say: let the tables be turned! It's hot to see a twink take charge! I wanna see more stuff like Jan Kedlubna topping Mark Streda (can't post links yet, but you can find them via Google. Anoher example to Google is "older_men_amp_their_brit_twinks_3". I must admit to finding the older guy in the last example particularly unattractive. But I I challenge you to do better! :P)
Let's start a thread together collecting the hottest Twink Top Videos we can find

Worth the wait: Cincy ready to reap ASG benefits
No longer just a game, Midsummer Classic a weeklong celebration
By Richard Justice
It's not just a game. That's one of the first things the good folks of Cincinnati will discover as they prepare to host the 86th All-Star Game in 2015. It was a game all those other times, most recently in 1988, when Riverfront Stadium last hosted the event. Even then, it was still a great showcase for baseball, a chance to see most of the best players gathered in one place.
Let's pause to understand what we mean about the All-Star Game being an astonishing collection of talent. Even with most games on television and even with Interleague Play now the norm, the All-Star Game is unique, and for those of us who love the game, an amazing once-a-season gathering of talent.
For instance, when Riverfront hosted the 1988 game, there were nine future Hall of Famers in the two starting lineups and four more who got into the game off the benches. Imagine that: 13 Hall of Famers in one game, and that's not including Roger Clemens, who was on the American League team. If it's fun to see all those great players in one place at one time, it's equally fun to see them interacting with one another.
It's one of the few times when players can be as wide-eyed as fans. In 1988, Rickey Henderson, Paul Molitor, Wade Boggs, Dave Winfield, Cal Ripken, Dennis Eckersley, Kirby Puckett and George Brett -- all headed for the Hall of Fame -- were all part of the American League team.
For one night, these longtime rivals were teammates. Later, almost all of them confess that they watched how the other All-Stars prepared for a game and how they dealt with one another during the game itself. At times through the years, players occasionally considered the All-Star Game a hassle, some begging off for various reasons.
But once they're actually at the game and part of the festivities, they're thrilled and honored. They want to be in those two clubhouses dressing along with the best of the best. As Miguel Tejada said in 2009, "It never gets old."
If Cincinnati was getting nothing more than another All-Star Game -- its fifth overall, after '38, '53, '70 and '88 -- it would make it all a day to remember. Even in one of our greatest baseball cities, even with its championships and its Hall of Famers and its rich history, it will be just the fifth opportunity to host the Midsummer Classic.
But that's just the beginning. Baseball has undergone a breathtaking renaissance in the last 25 years -- 18 years of uninterrupted labor peace, record-setting attendance, unprecedented parity, Interleague Play, Wild Card playoff berths and a new generation of facilities, including Great American Ball Park, which opened in 2003.
The All-Star Game has been part of this change. Now it's a week-long celebration of both the game and a community. There are charity projects and an interactive FanFest and opportunities for fans to meet and greet some of the game's legendary players.
Minneapolis-St. Paul is predicting a $75 million economic impact when it hosts the 2014 game, as hotels and restaurants and shops fill up and as a community gets a chance to show off for the worldwide media coverage.
The Futures Game on Sunday is an opportunity to see the best Minor Leaguers on display. It was here that some of us got our first look at Miguel Cabrera, Zack Greinke, Evan Longoria, Ryan Howard, Ryan Braun, Jay Bruce and and Lance Berkman.
And then on Monday, the All-Stars take batting practice and have a Home Run Derby that has become a smashing success. If you'd been there in 2008, when Josh Hamilton put on a dazzling display of power, you might not have remembered anything else that week.
None of the new events have detracted from the All-Star Game. It's still the main event, and because it decides home-field advantage in the World Series, it has a seriousness that it hasn't had before.
It was obvious the moment some of us stepped into the clubhouse at U.S. Cellular Field for the 2003 game, the first that decided home-field advantage. Players resent those who say they hadn't cared about winning. They said they always care about winning, and that if score is being kept, they want to win.
Yet with something tangible at stake, those late-inning at-bats are about more than personal pride or just winning one game. Last summer, 20 teams were still in contention when the All-Star Game was played in Kansas City, so there was added meaning on every at-bat.
In the end, though, it's really about the sport and the city hosting the event. It's a celebration of the sport, a chance to show off, not just its players, but also its heart. It doesn't come around very often, and more than ever before, it's worth the wait.

Grab Downloading Flash Video is a Bash script designed to be called via a Linux GNOME Desktop custom shortcut key while a Flash video is playing in your Firefox or Chrome browser. The script attempts to find the file being downloaded, waits for the download to finish, and then copies it to a configured directory. Prior to Flash 10.2, it was easy to find the file yourself in the /tmp directory. But starting with version 10.2, this script is more useful because the file is deleted but internally still open. Note that this is not a universal solution. Some sites, such as YouTube, make it easy to find the URL of the Flash video file. In those cases you may have better success using a download utility such as 'youtube-dl'.

Total_RNA_from_Cells_and_Tissues >
NucleoSpin RNA XS allows the isolation of highly concentrated, highly pure total RNA from very dilute or low-volume tissue and cell samples without the use of organic compounds (e.g., Trizol).
The innovative funnel-shaped thrust ring allows standard miniprep spin columns to hold a silica membrane of very small diameter. The small surface of the NucleoSpin RNA XS membrane allows efficient elution in only 5–20 µl, resulting in the highest RNA concentrations. The purified RNA is ready for all typical downstream applications.
Cells are lysed by incubation in the lysis buffer (high concentration of chaotropic salts). This lysis buffer immediately inactivates RNases—which are present in virtually all biological materials—and creates appropriate binding conditions which favor adsorption of RNA to the silica membrane. After lysis, homogenization and reduction of viscosity are achieved by filtration with NucleoSpin Filter units (shredders). Residual genomic DNA is efficiently removed by on-column digestion with rDNase, provided with the kit. Total RNA is eluted in RNase-free water. The low elution volume results in concentrated RNA with typical RIN (RNA Integrity Numbers) >9 (depending on sample quality).
Complete kit for isolation and purification of total RNA from cultured cells, tissue, cryosections, laser-captured cells, small amounts of plant material, and samples stored in RNAlater.
Purified RNA is suitable for:

AccuRev is a fast, powerful, and easy-to-use Software Configuration Management (SCM) tool with integrated issue tracking based on "Streams" that more efficiently manages complex parallel and global development. Streams are a combination and superset of branches and labels that are first class objects instead of being file-by-file attributes. AccuRev records all merges and patches, so you never have to re-merge the same code. It supports file and directory renaming and merging, follows a client/server model, and is transaction-based. It includes an integrated graphical 3-way diff and merge tool. AccuRev provides an Open API (and SDK) to integrate with any third-party development tool (IBM/Rational ClearQuest, Serena TeamTrack, and more out of the box). It also integrates with Eclipse, the MS SCC API (MS Visual Studio), Sun Java Studio, any diff/merge tool with a command line interface, and more.
Aegis is a transaction-based software configuration management system. It provides a framework within which a team of developers may work on many changes to a program independently, and Aegis coordinates integrating these changes back into the master source of the program, with as little disruption as possible. Aegis supports geographically distributed development.
Cervisia is a KDE graphical frontend for the CVS client. It features checking out a module from a repository, updating or retrieving the status of a working directory or single files, common operations like add, remove and commit, diff against the repository and between different revisions, annotated view of a file, view of the log messages in tree and list form as well as resolving of conflicts in a file.
changetrack is a program to monitor changes to files. If files are modified one day, and the machine starts working incorrectly some days later, changetrack can provide information on which files were modified, and help locate the problem. Changetrack will also allow recovery of the files from any stage.
CVS is a version control system, which allows you to keep old versions of files (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why changes occurred, etc., like RCS or SCCS. Unlike the simpler systems, CVS does not just operate on one file at a time or one directory at a time, but operates on hierarchical collections of directories consisting of version controlled files. CVS helps to manage releases and to control the concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. CVS allows triggers to enable/log/control various operations and works well over a wide area network.
cvs-nserver is the almost complete rewrite of network-related CVS code featuring security-critical code in separate executables, a clean authentication layer allowing virtual repositories running under a single system account with an unlimited number of virtual users, simple authentication modules which can authenticate against /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and PAM, and complete compatibility with existing clients.

The Patrick-Murray Administration's 21st Century Transportation Plan includes passenger rail between Pittsfield, Mass., and New York City. The $113.8-million investment is a commitment for track rehabilitation, the installation of a signal system, improvements to grade crossings and six stations along the 37-mile rail corridor within Massachusetts.
The plan includes a $1-billion annual investment in the commonwealth's transportation system to maintain the current transportation assets and launch a number of high-impact transportation projects across Massachusetts that, if built, will create thousands of jobs and spur economic development.
"The future belongs to those who prepare for it and these preparations would be a major step toward running round-trip passenger-rail service between Pittsfield and New York City," said Gov. Patrick. "As we look to position the commonwealth for continued economic expansion, we face critical choices regarding the kinds of investments we should be making to put us in that position. Let's choose growth."
Research shows that passenger rail to the region has the potential to attract two million one-way riders annually from commuters, second homeowners, students and visitors from New York City.
In order to run passenger service, similar upgrades would be required in Connecticut. However, transportation officials in both states are optimistic that Massachusetts' efforts could be the catalyst just south of the state border.

Recent actions within the current administration should make us feel very discouraged as we see more and more evidence of the danger of power at the highest levels. As I have often quoted Lord Acton, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Recent stories detailed the Internal Revenue Service especially scrutinizing conservative groups applying for nonprofit status only because of their conservative-sounding names. Clearly, this was political power being directed and exercised by powerful leaders at the very top of the current administration.
Who really authorized these investigations? We will probably never know. However, does it seem at all reasonable that the most powerful leader in the world did not know about this until he came across it in the media?
Then we saw recent reports about the Justice Department reviewing phone and email records of Associated Press reporters. It wasn't just a few rogue reporters being monitored, it was dozens. The reasons for such scrutiny were claims of a terrible threat to national security. One might believe that story if the reporters targeted had been few in number. However, dozens of reporters being suspected of plotting against our national security simply defies imagination. It doesn't take much of a leap to imagine a blanket investigation of every individual who has ever said or written anything negative about our current leadership. Our president denies awareness.
Then, looking back a bit earlier, we had the Benghazi affair. I doubt we will ever know the real reasons our ambassador to Libya wasn't better protected, or why more vigorous rescue attempts were not made. The entire truth will probably never be exposed.
What has been proven is that some in the administration participated in covering up or spinning the facts as they were known. Was that done to help the president before the election? Our president, as would be expected of most politicians, denies involvement in any way.
And now we learn from a CIA/NSA consultant, Edward Snowden, that every American's phone calls and email records are easily available to our government with no apparent regard to our constitutionally promised protection of privacy by the Fourth Amendment.
How much more evidence do we need to prove our Constitution has become no more than an inconvenience easily ignored by whomever is currently in administrative power?
It seems we are increasingly seeing executive orders bypassing constitutional rule. Most of us have become comfortable with video surveillance while in public. However, now we learn any of our communications, written or spoken via technology, is available to those who we must trust to protect our rights to privacy. How does this make you feel?
This is not an anti-Democrat or anti-Barack Obama rant. It just happens he is the current holder of the highest elected office in our nation as these recent events transpired and were exposed. These kinds of events have happened in the past under presidents from both parties. The big difference, of course, is the giant leap in technology which allows so much information to be so easily evaluated and then stored forever.
However, how can so many events pass any reasonable smell test when the president repeatedly proclaims he had no knowledge? He is either completely disconnected from the organizations he is responsible for managing, or ... ?
These recently exposed events should also cause Americans to wonder about the seldom discussed massive expansion of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), originally created by President George W. Bush. Citizens have mostly remained spectators silently watching the creation and expansion of what can only be considered an internal national military force.
Perhaps our leaders know our porous borders already have or will allow terrorists and weapons of mass destruction to enter our country. Maybe they understand how widespread the threat of home-grown terrorism really is and are simply trying to develop an adequate policing force to protect us.
Or perhaps our leaders know our nation is inevitably headed for much harder times, and not knowing how to prevent it, are preparing for civil unrest. Are they preparing to protect the haves from the have-nots? Are they preparing to fight a rebellion of Americans no longer able to feed their families?
And worst of all is the possibility that an internal military force such as the DHS could someday be used by an evil leader to enslave our citizens, as history has shown being done so often in other places.
Is any of this connected to the administration's strong support for firearms control?
Power has always been corrupting. Our leaders are proving they have the power and willingness to investigate anyone they choose, violate constitutional privacy laws and, seemingly, lie to our faces.
It's to our own detriment if we deny the unthinkable.
These are my opinions. What do you think?
Mike Tower lives in Hendersonville. Reach him at mike41tower @gmail.com or visit capau.org.
Do we dare to deny the unthinkable?
Recent actions within the current administration should make us feel very discouraged as we see more and more evidence of the danger of power at the highest levels. As I have often quoted Lord Acton, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

While North LRT construction is highly visible on Edmonton streets, the project's most significant milestone to date was achieved below ground. A dedicated crew has been working around the clock since January 2012, digging twin tunnels between 105 Avenue and Churchill Station through which light-rail will start running in 2014.
"The government of Canada is proud to have invested in this important job-creating project to expand Edmonton's light-rail transit system," said the Honorable Rona Ambrose, minister of Public Works and Government Services, minister for Status of Women and member of Parliament for Edmonton-Spruce Grove. "We will continue to support local infrastructure priorities that promote growth, job creation and economic prosperity right here in Edmonton."
In addition to the completion of the North LRT tunnel, this year's work included construction of all surface track for the North LRT and foundation work for the Grant MacEwan, Kingsway/Royal Alex and NAIT LRT stations. Development of the stations will continue over the winter months.
The CA$755-million (US$787-million) project was jointly funded by the government of Canada, the government of Alberta and the city of Edmonton. The government of Canada is contributing up to CA$100 million (US$100.2 million) from the Building Canada Fund. The province of Alberta is contributing CA$497 million (US$498 million) in GreenTRIP funding and the city of Edmonton is contributing CA$158 million (US$158.4 million).

In my last column a few weeks ago, I spoke about our trip to Disney World.
In my last column a few weeks ago, I spoke about our trip to Disney World.
Strangely enough, the day that story ran marked the first day of our memorable expedition to the land of Mickey Mouse and friends.
Well, I'm here to report that we had a blast.
The wait and saving money to go were more than worth it as we explored the various parks and rode practically every ride we could.
As I stated previously, I went on this trip with a few goals in mind. First and foremost, I wanted everyone to have fun. Check. Next, I wanted to see everything. Check. And finally, I wanted to get there and return without incident. Check and check.
Of course the trip couldn't go off without a few bumps in the road.
The first bump happened early on when we woke up to leave. A late spring front caused temperatures to dip into the upper 30s in the Florida Panhandle. This cold weather accompanied us all the way down to Gainesville, Fla. When we arrived in Orlando, this same front snuck its way through, causing somewhat chilly conditions.
After surviving inclement weather on our first day at Magic Kingdom, we settled in and made the most of the light crowds at Disney.
Yep, I said light crowds.
We didn't have to wait much time at all for any of the attractions we wanted to get on.
Honestly, the only day that kind of made us feel a bit uncomfortable was the final one at Epcot where the crowds seemed pretty thick. But, then again, it was a Friday.
Yes, we did have a few kiddy meltdowns, and I had a Coke spilled on me just as the fireworks show was beginning at Epcot. But heck, if that's the worst thing I have to endure on a trip like this, I'll take it.
Seeing the smiles on the faces of my family made the long journey by car worth every mile I saw go on to my odometer.
For an entire week, we lived and breathed Disney. Thanks to my wife's incredible planning and preparation, we didn't miss a beat. We saw everything and did everything. There were no restful moments, but in the time frame we had, we knew we wouldn't encounter much in the way of idle time.
I highly suggest booking some character breakfasts if you are planning a trip to Disney. Trust me; it is well worth it to see your children have the opportunity to interact with their favorite characters from books and TV.
Having seen all the parks, I'd have to say my favorite was Animal Kingdom followed closely by Magic Kingdom. What I found astounding was the vast size of Disney. Our hotel, which was actually on the Disney grounds, was a 15-minute bus ride to the gates of Magic Kingdom. Something else I observed was Disney's attention to detail and cleanliness. It is truly amazing to watch these dedicated individuals at work cleaning, sweeping and greeting everyone with the biggest smiles you'll ever see.
It was hard to leave, but I definitely look forward to the next time we get to go.
Now that I've addressed Disney, I'd like to briefly transition to Mother's Day and another topic that recently garnered my full attention.
First off, I want to wish a happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. Please make sure to relax on your day because God knows you deserve it. You ladies definitely have my full respect for putting up with us men of the world.
And lastly, I would like to spend a moment talking about a former colleague and friend that died suddenly.
I felt it important to make people aware of a former photographer that worked for the newspaper named Kim Smith.
I met Kim about 15 years ago at Nicholls State University and was immediately struck by his kindness and ability to lift the spirits of any and everyone around him.
After graduating, I would continue to see Kim at local sporting events and even had the chance to accompany him on a number of assignments. Kim never wavered in his love for his community, family and friends. Kim was authentic, and there was nothing fake about the way he treated others.
Kim was a genuinely good guy that would try to be your friend even if you weren't interested in being his. The funny thing is once someone met the guy, they couldn't help but like him. It is hard to imagine what his family is going through as they come to grips with his loss, but one thing's for sure, and that is I, like many others, am a better person as a result of knowing Kim.

1. "If you are so insecure that you feel you need to carry a gun, YOU ARE A NUT CASE and need PSYCHOLOGICAL HELP. If you feel the need to carry a gun, YOU ARE A NUT AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DO SO!!!"...IN THE COMMENTS: t-man said...
2. "You people who are going to cc, please do not accidentally shoot us regular people or your self. Although it will be interesting to hear about the 1st cc person who shots themselves in the leg or testycles."
The comment is clearly a parody, filled with "NUT"s, "NUT CASE" (scrotum), and testycles.Oddly, these are 2 different comments, by different individuals, and they are separated in the thread by other comments. Either it's just a funny coincidence, or the term "nut case" somehow influenced the other guy to think about testicles. As for the misspelling, now I'm having flashbacks to the nude bicycle ride I witnessed last Saturday and which I cannot unsee.
Either that or the writer's subconscious is trying to work through a few issues.

AccuRev is a fast, powerful, and easy-to-use Software Configuration Management (SCM) tool with integrated issue tracking based on "Streams" that more efficiently manages complex parallel and global development. Streams are a combination and superset of branches and labels that are first class objects instead of being file-by-file attributes. AccuRev records all merges and patches, so you never have to re-merge the same code. It supports file and directory renaming and merging, follows a client/server model, and is transaction-based. It includes an integrated graphical 3-way diff and merge tool. AccuRev provides an Open API (and SDK) to integrate with any third-party development tool (IBM/Rational ClearQuest, Serena TeamTrack, and more out of the box). It also integrates with Eclipse, the MS SCC API (MS Visual Studio), Sun Java Studio, any diff/merge tool with a command line interface, and more.
Alma is a software workshop for modeling and analyzing. It reads several sources (languages, models, etc.), helps you design for object-oriented modeling (definition of classes, relations, patterns, etc.), modifies the structure and the code, and outputs new sources, documentation, diagrams, etc. It is designed for object-oriented modeling (definition of classes and relations) and for migrating code in older languages. It meets two needs, offering a simplified software modeling workshop for small projects and making it easier to do rewrites, ports, and encapsulation of non-OO code.
Bugzilla is the leading open-source/free software bug tracking system, with high-profile installations at mozilla.org, GNOME, Red Hat, and NASA, among others. It features a comprehensive set of fields, attachment management, inter-bug dependencies, email notification of changes, a powerful query interface, reporting, and Web, XML, email, and console interfaces. It can be managed entirely using a Web-based UI. The user UI is customizable using templates.

Ciao extensions currently include feature terms (records), higher-order, functions, constraints, objects, persistent predicates, a good base for distributed execution (agents), and concurrency. Libraries also support WWW programming, sockets, and external interfaces (C, Java, TCL/Tk, relational databases, etc.). An Emacs-based environment, a stand-alone compiler, and a toplevel shell are also provided.
Dynamic Probes (Dprobes) is a generic and pervasive system debugging facility that will operate under the most extreme software conditions such as debugging a deep-rooted operating system problem in a live environment. Dprobes allows the insertion of fully automated breakpoints or probepoints anywhere in the system and user space. Each probepoint has an associated set of probe instructions that are interpreted when the probe fires. These instructions allow memory and CPU registers to be examined and altered using conditional logic. When the probe command terminates, prior to returning to the probed code, a syslog record may be optionally generated.
GNATS is a portable incident/bug report/help request-tracking system which runs on UNIX-like operating systems. It easily handles thousands of problem reports, has been in wide use since the early 90s, and can do most of its operations over e-mail. Several front end interfaces exist, including command line, emacs, and Tcl/Tk interfaces. There are also a number of Web (CGI) interfaces written in scripting languages like Perl and Python.

Nowadays, a simple password is not enough anymore! Multi-OTP is an OATH-certified PHP class, a Web interface, and a powerful command line tool that can be used to authenticate and manage OTP user tokens for strong two-factor authentication. It can create, update, and delete tokens to authenticate users with one time passwords (OTP). The users' data are stored in files. The class can also check the user token using several algorithms: Mobile OTP (MOTP), OATH/HOTP (RFC 4226), and OATH/TOTP HOTP Time Based (RFC 4226 extension). It works with compatible software tokens (iPhone, Android, PalmOS, Nokia, and other Java J2ME capable phones) and hardware tokens (such as Feitian, ZyXEL, Authenex, or Seamoon). The multiotp command line utility is also provided, both in "compiled" form (for Windows) and in source code (for Linux or educational purpose). The multiotp command line can be combined with FreeRADIUS (under Linux) or the free TekRADIUS LT (under Windows) in order to have a powerful radius strong authentication server.
LinOTP is a solution for strong two-factor authentication with one time passwords. It features a modular architecture into which UserIdResolver, authentication, and OTP calculation modules can be plugged. It includes UserIdResolver modules for LDAP/AD, SQL, and flat file user databases, and authentication modules for PAM and RADIUS. New modules can be developed easily. Supported tokens are HMAC-OTP/HOTP (RFC 4226/ OATH compliant), Aladdin eToken PASS, eToken NG-OTP, Safeword Alpine, Yubikey, Google Authenticator, motp, SMS OTP/Mobile TAN, email token, and a Simple Pass token for users without token hardware. TOTP is supported, along with a new algorithm for daily passwords for applications not supporting RADIUS. OCRA tokens are supported to allow transaction signing in banking environments. CLI, Web, and GTK+ GUI clients are available for management. LinOTP features multi-client capability, redundancy, and a self-service portal. It has been used with PAM for local and SSH logins, Apache, VPN, and Windows Terminal Server, and is OATH certified.
LemonLDAP::NG is a modular Web SSO based on Apache::Session modules. It simplifies the building of a protected area with a few changes in the application. It manages both authentication and authorization and provides headers for accounting, so you can have full AAA protection for your Web space. LemonLDAP::NG is a complete rewrite of LemonLDAP. All components needed to use it and to administer it are included in the tarball. However, all modules developed for LemonLDAP may not work with LemonLDAP::NG.
The OATH Toolkit makes it easy to build one-time password authentication systems. It contains shared libraries, commandline tools, and a PAM module. Supported technologies include the event-based HOTP algorithm (RFC4226) and the time-based TOTP algorithm (RFC6238). OATH stands for Open AuTHentication, which is the organization which specifies the algorithms. For managing secret key files, the Portable Symmetric Key Container (PSKC) format described in RFC6030 is supported.
Sphirewall is a user-centric analytical network firewall/router. Out-of-the box, it provides user authentication coupled with powerful analytics which provide you with complete control over your network and users. With Sphirewall, you can manage and understand what is happening on your network with features such as qos, bandwidth quotas, user authentication, and much more.

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Family Health Insurance Survey, 1993 (ICPSR 6894)
Published: Jun 22, 2005
Principal Investigator(s):
Stephen H. Long, RAND; M. Susan Marquis, RAND
Version V3
This survey investigated health insurance coverage, as well as access to and use of health services, in each of ten states. With the goal of remedying the previous lack of state-level data, the survey was conducted to aid in defining problems of insurance coverage and to analyze the impacts of states' policy options. The main unit of observation is the health insurance family, which includes the head, spouse, and their children up to age 18, or to age 23 if they were in school. Variables on health insurance coverage include the types of coverage respondents carried (Medicare, Medicaid, additional state or federal programs, and private policies), sources of private policy coverage, premiums paid for private policies, and number of months uninsured during the last year. Access to health care is measured by variables such as the type of usual health care provider, the amount of time it usually took to get to the doctor's office, and whether needed medical care was not received during the previous year. Variables on the utilization of health care include the number of overnight hospital stays, the number of visits to doctors, age at first DPT (diphtheria, whooping cough, and tetanus) shot, age at first oral polio immunization, and the number of months since the most recent breast exam and Pap smear. The survey also elicited self-reported health status and opinions on the health care system, gauged satisfaction/dissatisfaction with health services received, and gathered information on employment, income, education, migration, age, sex, marital status, race, Hispanic origin, and citizenship.

As you may have suspected from the direction of technology trends, Sony has confirmed that all PlayStation 4 games will be available to download. Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida has said the system will be similar to the Vita, focusing on the digital marketplace with only some of its games available on physical media.
"We're shifting our platform more and more to the digital side - PS4 will be similar to PS Vita in that every game will be available as a digital download, and some will also be available as a disc," Yoshida told The Guardian (via CVG). "The Witness will be a digital release and because of the flexibility of the digital distribution scheme, we can have more small games that might be free or available for a couple of dollars, or different services like free-to-play or subscription models."
Yoshida also said that ultimately, Sony would like to offer tiered subscription models for its content. "As more and more services and contents become available digitally, we'll have more of an option to create attractive packages," he said. "So hypothetically we can look at different models - like a cable TV company. We could have gold, silver or platinum levels of membership, something like that. We can do subscription services when we have more content - especially now that we have the Gaikai technology available. With one subscription you have access to thousands of games - that's our dream."
We heard similar comments about a wider pricing range from CEO Jack Tretton last week. Word of an all-encompassing digital model is unsurprising, but Sony's Jim Ryan told IGN that Blu-rays are still the physical media plan for the foreseeable future.

Junkie is a real-time packet sniffer and analyzer. It is modular enough to accomplish many different tasks. It can be a helpful companion to the modern network administrator and analyst. Compared to previously available tools, junkie lies in between tcpdump and wireshark. Unlike tcpdump, its purpose is to parse protocols of any depth; unlike wireshark, though, it is designed to analyze traffic in real-time and so cannot parse traffic as exhaustively as wireshark does. In addition, its design encompasses extendability and speed. It has a plug-in system and high-level extension language that eases the development and combination of new functionalities; threaded packet capture and analysis for handling of high bandwidth networks; and a modular architecture to ease the addition of any protocol layer. It is based on libpcap for portability, and well-tested on professional settings.

text: Take Your Multivitamin to Control Diabetes (NewsUSA) - For people with diabetes, taking a multivitamin every day can mean much more than a little protection against the common cold. Research is finding that multivitamins can be the first line of defense against many different types of infections, including respiratory infections and influenza. "Once a person with diabetes gets an infection, it's much harder for them to get rid of it, and it can lead to dire consequences, even death," says Registered and Certified Dietitian-Nutritionist Debra Spector. "And since some diabetic patients don't normally respond well to treatment, prevention is key." Taking a special diabetes multivitamin -- usually found in the diabetes section of a drugstore, not the vitamin section -- allows a diabetic person to be proactive with their health, and avoid nutrient deficiencies that can lead to problems. The year-long study among 130 patients, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, found that the incidence of infection was much lower among diabetics who took a multivitamin versus those who did not. Infection occurred in only 17 percent of diabetic patients who took a multivitamin versus the 93 percent who took a placebo. The study also found that regular multivitamin usage reduced the rate of minor urinary tract and gastrointestinal infections in people with diabetes. Because of the nature of the disease, it's not uncommon for diabetics to experience nutrient deficiencies. Diabetes medications and frequent urination can lead to the loss of vital nutrients that protect the body. "Since there are many health risks that can result from vitamin and mineral deficiencies, I encourage my diabetic patients to find a multivitamin supplement with more potent levels of important nutrients to meet their needs," says Spector. "It should contain Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), an important nutrient that most 'regular' multivitamins do not have. I like Multi-betic Diabetes Multi-Vitamin since it has 23 important nutrients, including ALA, designed to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels, support vision and promote nerve function."
