Based on American Diabetes Association clinical recommendations, this handy pocket guide provides a list of current recommendations to diagnose and manage prediabetes and diabetes.
Last reviewed: 03/28/2012
Criteria for Diagnosis of Diabetes*
- A1C †† ≥ 6.5% or
- Fasting plasma glucose > 126 mg/dl or
- 2-hr plasma glucose > 200 mg/dl post 75g oral glucose challenge or
- Random plasma glucose > 200 mg/dl with symptoms (polyuria, polydypsia, and unexplained weight loss)
*For criteria 1-3: Repeat test to confirm unless symptoms are present. It is preferable that the same test be repeated for confirmation. If two different tests are used (e.g., FPG and A1C) and both indicate diabetes, consider the diagnosis confirmed. If the two different tests are discordant, repeat the test above the diagnostic cut point.
Criteria for Prediabetes**
- Fasting plasma glucose 100 – 125 mg/dl [Impaired fasting glucose (IFG)] or
- 2-hr post 75g oral glucose challenge 140 – 199 mg/dl [Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)] or
**For all tests, risk of diabetes is continuous, extending below the lower limit of the range and becoming disproportionately greater at higher ends of the range.
Treatment Goals: the ABCs of Diabetes***
< 7 % for many people
Preprandial capillary plasma glucose 70 – 130 mg/dl
Peak postprandial capillary plasma glucose < 180 mg/dl (usually 1 to 2 hr after the start of a meal)
Blood pressure (mmHg)
< 130 for most people
< 80
Cholesterol – Lipid Profile (mg/dl)
LDL Cholesterol < 100
HDL Cholesterol Men > 40, Women > 50
Triglycerides < 150
***Individualize target levels.
For example, consider:
- A1C target as close to normal as possible without significant hypoglycemia in people with short duration of diabetes, little comorbidity, and long life expectancy.
- Less stringent A1C target for people with severe hypoglycemia, limited life expectancy, extensive comorbid conditions, advanced complications, or longstanding diabetes where the general goal is difficult to attain despite optimal efforts.
- Higher or lower systolic blood pressure targets may be appropriate based on patient characteristics and response to therapy.
See source materials for treatment recommendations.
† While utilizing American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care, Diabetes Care 35 (Suppl.1): S11-S63, 2012, NDEP recognizes that guidelines from other groups may vary reflecting the limitations and complexity of the evidence base.
†† A1C testing for diagnostic purposes should be performed in a laboratory using a method that is NGSP certified. Point of care A1C tests should not be used for diagnosis. Be alert to the impact of hemoglobin variants on A1C values. See www2.niddk.nih.gov/variants for information.
Diabetes Management Schedule
Adults with diabetes should receive medical care from a physician-coordinated team of health care professionals. Referrals to team members should be made as appropriate.
At each regular diabetes visit:
- Measure weight and blood pressure.
- Inspect feet if one or more high-risk foot conditions are present.
- Review self-monitoring glucose record.
- Review/adjust medications to control glucose, blood pressure, and lipids. Consider low-dose aspirin for CVD prevention.
- Review self-management skills, dietary needs, and physical activity.
- Assess for depression or other mood disorder.
- Counsel on smoking cessation and alcohol use.
- Obtain A1C in patients whose therapy has changed or who are not meeting glycemic goals (twice a year if at goal with stable glycemia).
- Obtain fasting lipid profile (every 2 years if patient has low-risk lipid values).
- Obtain serum creatinine to estimate glomerular filtration rate and stage the level of chronic kidney disease.
- Perform urine test for albumin-to-creatinine ratio in patients with type 1 diabetes > 5 years and in all patients with type 2 diabetes.
- Refer for dilated eye exam (if normal, an eye care specialist may advise an exam every 2–3 years).
- Perform comprehensive foot exam.
- Refer for dental/oral exam at least once a year.
- Administer influenza vaccination.
- Review need for other preventive care or treatment.
- Administer pneumococcal vaccination (repeat if over age 64 or immunocompromised and last vaccination was more than 5 years ago)
- Administer hepatitis B vaccination to patients aged 19 to 59 (use clinical discretion for patients ≥60 years).*
* CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. Use of hepatitis B vaccination for adults with diabetes mellitus: recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. December 23, 2011/60(50);1709-1711.

Despite Guidelines, PSA Testing Is Common in Elderly Veterans
Many clinicians in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs medical system have been ordering prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening for elderly men. In 2003, 56 percent of nearly 600,000 elderly male veterans had a PSA test performed, even though most guidelines recommend against the blood test for older men who have limited life expectancies because the known harms of prostate-cancer screening outweigh the potential benefits.
PSA screening rates in this population should be much lower than current levels, reported Dr. Louise Walter of the University of California, San Francisco, and her colleagues in the November 15 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). For many men in poor health, screening is more likely to harm them than help them. The study included veterans aged 70 years or older who had no history of prostate cancer, elevated PSA, or prostate cancer symptoms. They were seen at 104 VA facilities.
Men with worsening health were screened at roughly the same rates as men in the best health. Factors such as marital status and region of the country were more important than health in determining screening. The rates for some subgroups of men in the worst health exceeded 60 percent.
An editorial noted that one reason for the high rates is that most men are overly optimistic about their own longevity. Another is that "patients often overestimate both the risk posed by the prostate cancer and the efficacy of treatment," wrote Dr. Peter Albertsen of the University of Connecticut Health Center.
Younger Women Fare Better than Older Women with Ovarian Cancer
Research has shown mixed results when it comes to age and prognosis after ovarian cancer. But a study, appearing early online this month in the British Journal of Cancer, lends the statistical strength of NCI's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program to results showing that younger women have a clear survival advantage compared with older women. Furthermore, younger women who receive uterine-sparing treatment do just as well as women who have standard surgery to treat the disease.
The study includes a nationally representative sample of 28,165 women who were diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer between 1988 and 2001. The women were divided according to age groups "very young" (<30 years old), "young" (30 to 60 years old), and "older" (>60 years old), as well as by race, cancer stage, grade, and type of treatment they received - uterine-sparing surgeries versus hysterectomy and/or radical debulking.
The overall 5-year survival for very young, young, and older women was 78.8 percent, 58.8 percent, and 35.3 percent, respectively, with similar trends for early- and late-stage disease. Younger women tended to be diagnosed with early-stage disease more often than older women, and they also received surgery more often, usually a uterine-preserving procedure (71.2 percent versus 14.1 percent and 15.6 percent). Women aged 16 to 40 who had these uterine-sparing procedures had similar survival to women of the same ages who had standard surgery (93.3 percent versus 91.5 percent). "Younger age continues to portend for a better prognosis across ethnic, histologic cell types, and year of diagnosis," the authors wrote, advising that "reproductive-age women who undergo surgical staging should be offered conservative treatment with uterine-sparing surgeries…[and] be treated aggressively."
Adjuvant Radiotherapy Reduces Advanced Prostate Cancer Recurrence
Patients with pathologically advanced prostate cancer who received immediate adjuvant radiotherapy following radical prostatectomy had a significantly reduced risk of PSA relapse, according to a study published in the November 15 JAMA.
A total of 425 men were enrolled into the multi-institutional study conducted by the Southwest Oncology Group, and were randomly assigned to either external beam radiotherapy or usual care plus observation. Patients were enrolled between 1988 and 1997, and were followed for a median of 10.6 years.
Although the reduction in the risk of cancer spread to distant sites was not significantly different between the two arms, the study showed that adjuvant radiotherapy significantly lowers the risk of cancer recurrence as indicated by PSA relapse. Median PSA relapse-free survival in the observation group was 3.1 years compared with a median PSA relapse-free survival of 10.3 years in the group receiving adjuvant radiation therapy.
PSA relapse may be an early indication of disease relapse and is associated with considerable patient anxiety. Dr. Bhadrasain Vikram, chief of the Clinical Radiation Oncology Branch in NCI's Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD), commented that "If, after the operation, cancer is found to extend beyond the prostate - but not into the lymph nodes - radiation treatment may decrease recurrences. But, radiation also increased the risk of side effects, especially problems with urination."
Future research questions raised by this study include whether radiotherapy is better delivered immediately post-operatively or at time of PSA recurrence which would spare some patients unnecessary treatment, and whether metastatic disease could be significantly affected by identifying and treating subsets of higher risk patients.
Dr. Vikram commented, "In 1988, when this study began, the surgeons' ability to select for operation men with cancer truly confined to the prostate was much less refined. With all the information that is available today prior to surgery, very few men should have cancer found beyond the prostate. For those who do, this study offers valuable information about what to expect, and that should help in deciding the best course of action."
Primary Care Physicians Are Low Prescribers of Tamoxifen
Only a minority of primary care physicians have prescribed tamoxifen for breast cancer prevention since its approval for that use in 1998, and a woman's increased risk of endometrial cancer or blood clots from tamoxifen seems to have less effect on prescribing decisions than other factors, according to a study published online November 13 in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Although tamoxifen has been shown to greatly reduce the incidence of breast cancer among high-risk women, it also has significant adverse effects, including a twofold increase in the risks of venous thromboembolism and endometrial cancer.
In a study of prescribing habits of 350 primary care physicians, University of Pennsylvania researchers found that only 27 percent had prescribed the drug for breast cancer prevention in the past 12 months. The results indicate that prescription of tamoxifen by primary care physicians is strongly associated with logistical factors, such as patient demand and the physician's ability to determine a patient's risk for developing breast cancer. In addition, "physicians with a family member with breast cancer (usually their mother) were more than two times more likely to have prescribed tamoxifen to a patient than physicians without a family member with breast cancer," the researchers reported.
Decisions to prescribe tamoxifen were not correlated with concerns about endometrial cancer or thromboembolism, the scientists found. "Although we did not explore the reasons for this discrepancy, it is possible that it reflects the perception that endometrial cancer is largely a curable disease and that this finding would not be true for other drugs with different adverse effects," they noted.
Combination of Therapies Shows Promise for Cervical Cancer
A new study from the University of Pittsburgh presented at the 2006 American Society for Therapeutic Radiation and Oncology meeting in Philadelphia assessed the addition of both irradiation of the para-aortic lymph nodes (located above the pelvis) and chemotherapy to pelvic radiation therapy for cervical cancer. Because previous trials of this combination have shown excessive toxicity, this study used intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to include the para-aortic lymph nodes in the radiation field. IMRT reduces radiation damage to nearby healthy tissue.
Investigators enrolled 36 patients with cervical cancer into the study. In 19 of these patients, cancer had spread to nearby lymph nodes. All patients received pelvic radiation therapy (including brachytherapy in all but two patients), irradiation of the para-aortic lymph nodes, and weekly low-dose chemotherapy with cisplatin.
One patient experienced high-grade gastrointestinal toxicity, and one experienced high-grade genitourinary toxicity. A high-grade decrease in bone marrow activity was seen in 10 patients. All patients completed radiation therapy; only three could not complete the last cycle of chemotherapy.
Thirty-three patients had a complete response to the treatment, though 11 of them eventually developed recurrences during the follow-up period. None of these recurrences were in the para-aortic lymph nodes; most were due to distant metastases.
"These results are promising but inconclusive," stated Dr. Bhadrasain Vikram, from NCI's DCTD. "Further studies need a control group to compare safety with standard radiation therapy. Those must be followed by studies to determine whether the addition of para-aortic irradiation improves survival in comparison to chemotherapy and pelvic irradiation alone."

Confronted with lower prices on healthful food, shoppers bought more. Then they spent their savings on junk food.
If healthful food were cheaper, would people buy more of it and less junk food?
Probably not, says a new study from the University of Buffalo. That same study found that a tax on junk food might be more persuasive.
"People are just more responsive to price increases than decreases," Dean Karlan, a behavioral economist at Yale University, told National Public Radio, which reported on the study during Monday's "Morning Edition."
The experts offer some suggestions for increasing your chances of winning the pot.
One of the benefits of schlepping to work every day is roundly enjoyed each spring -- the office March Madness pool. (Sure, you can do it online if you work at home, but an office pool is much more fun.)
Everyone does it. "The NCAA estimates that more than 35 million Americans participate in office pools, and, according to Nielsen Media Research, 92% of fans who watched games online do it at work," The Tampa Tribune reports.

Been there, done that. And, back in the day, we used a combination of educated guesses, baseless hunches and emotional picks to fill out the bracket. We did OK for a round or two.

Consumers in search of TV bragging rights are checking out the first 3D-ready TVs. But while the technology is stoking interest, the price tags are budget-busters and the content sparse for early adopters.
The first 3D-ready TVs from Panasonic and Samsung went on sale last week, just a few months after the technology drew crowds at the International Consumer Electronics Show in January, and more models are expected in coming months from LG (May), Sony (June) and Vizio (August).
Why the rush?
If you have high-interest credit card debt, that sandwich you charge costs more than you think.
This post comes from Adam Baker, a staff writer at partner blog Get Rich Slowly, and the blogger at Man vs. Debt.
Courtney and I are big fans of what we call "mental filters." These are simple little tips and tricks we can use to increase our financial awareness. (Get Rich Slowly's J.D. Roth likes to call these tips and tricks money hacks.)
For example, I've talked before about how we taped a picture of our daughter to our credit cards while we were paying down our debt. Many people I know use some sort of 30-day rule to curb their impulse desires, especially those that contribute to clutter.
Both of these techniques are examples of deliberately installing a barrier between yourself and a routine action. Many of us do this in various aspects of our lives to help raise consciousness, but this technique can be particularly powerful in our finances.
Today, I want to share a mental filter (or money hack, if you prefer) that Courtney and I used while passionately attacking our debt. But first, let me share a quick story.
The $6.25 foot-long
Panera Bread will become the first national chain to post calorie counts at its restaurants.
Panera Bread this week became the first national chain restaurant to announce it will post calorie counts at all its restaurants.
As someone who likes to know what she's eating, I'm happy to hear it, and I hope other restaurants follow suit. I was, however, devastated to hear that my favorite, the Chicken Frontega Panini, has 860 calories. All I can say is that I usually eat only half of it. At Panera's prices, splitting a sandwich is a good idea. Now if they'd just agree to leave off the mayo.
Closing the account probably won't do much damage, but the devil is in the details.
This post comes from partner blog The Dough Roller.
A reader recently e-mailed me with a question about credit cards and his FICO credit score. Here's his question:
I have a question relating to annual credit card fees. One of my credit cards that I got about seven years ago with HSBC has an annual fee of $37. I have developed positive credit history with it and it has a $1,400 limit and no rewards. I have since managed to get other credit cards with no annual fees and higher limits. My dilemma is whether i should close it down and take a hit on my credit score or keep it and continue to be charged the annual fee.
I confess that this question stumped me for a while. But a recent article by George Mannes, a senior editor at Money magazine, helped answer this reader's question. The short answer is that canceling the card may lower your credit score, but in most cases won't have a big impact.
Of course, the devil is in the details, so let's dig a little deeper.
Free and discount pie, free spaghetti and free coffee are among the latest food promotions.
Here it is Friday already and time for Friday food deals and freebies.
With St. Patrick's Day next week, many local restaurants are offering parties and deals. You can do what you want, but we are not going to drink any green beer.

By any objective measure her allocation of assets was foolish. But time and luck were on her side.
This guest post comes from Frank Curmudgeon at Bad Money Advice.
Heard about the secret millionaire of Lake Forest, Ill.? I'll assume not and recap. Grace Groner was born in 1909 and graduated from Lake Forest College in 1931, just about the worst year of the 20th century to enter the job market. Luckily for her, she landed a position as a secretary at the then obscure firm Abbott Laboratories. She was a secretary there her entire career, retiring at age 65 in 1974. She never married and lived modestly.
So far, it's a story that could be called poignantly mundane. But add in a few more facts and it transforms into a personal-finance parable that will be repeated, and probably distorted, for some time to come.

One of the most active and dynamic groups of Sephardim today are the Syrian Jews living in Brooklyn, New York. An extremely tight-knit community, they began moving from Syria at the beginning of the 20th centuray. Subjected to terrible persecution, a major wave of them came to New York in the 1920′s, and another group came when they were released by the government in the 1990′s. In New York they became a highly insular group, with a major edict that prevented almost any conversion into their community. This was intended to prevent dilution of the traditional community and has resulted in a highly homogeneous, close-knit group of jews whose numbers now exceed 75,000. Two scholars, Dr. Walter Zenner and Joseph A.D. Sutton, have carried out extensive studies of this gropu, with articles, oral histories, and other documentary evidence. The papers of both of these scholars are held in the archives of the American Sephardi Federation. In this presentation, we examine those papers and attempt to learn a little more about this fascinating group of Sephardim.
Randall Belinfante is the Librarian/Archivist of the American Sephardi Federation. Over the past seven years, he has expanded this Library/Archives from a small collection of 200 odd books and 20 boxes of papers to a collection that now exceeds 6,000 catalogued items and some 300 linear feet of archives. Randy is fascinated by all aspects of the Sephardim, with papers and articles dealing with communities from Brooklyn to Burma.

Provost & Executive Vice President Profile
Whitworth University invites nominations and applications for the position of provost & executive vice president. The provost/EVP serves as the most senior administrator reporting directly to the president, holds an appointment to the president's cabinet and serves as the university's chief academic officer. The Academic Affairs Division is comprised of the College of Arts & Sciences, the School of Education, the School of Global Commerce & Management and the School of Continuing Studies; the Offices of Diversity & Intercultural Relations; Graduate & Continuing Studies Enrollment Management; Institutional Research; International Programs (which includes the Costa Rica Center); the Registrar; Sponsored Programs; Instructional Resources; and the Library. The provost/EVP holds administrative faculty status.
An Education of Mind and Heart
Mission Statement
Core Values
Building on a Strong Foundation
Demand for a Whitworth education has grown significantly over the past decade; freshman applications have increased by 300 percent to 6,940 – more than 10 applications for every available spot in the 2012 freshman class. During the same period, full-time traditional enrollment increased by 34 percent to 2,249 students, and, buoyed by growth in graduate and continuing studies programs, total enrollment grew nearly 32 percent to 2,915 students. Freshman-sophomore retention and graduation rates reached record highs well above national averages. Enrollment growth made it possible to expand facilities, academic and student life programs, and faculty and staff. With the completion of the 63,000-square-foot Robinson Science Hall, more than $90 million in campus improvements have been completed since 2000, significantly enhancing the grounds and the quality of academic and residential facilities.
Whitworth has hired 56 percent of its current faculty during the past decade, infusing new energy and expertise into the university's academic programs and its distinctive approach to faith-learning integration. Likewise, the university has built upon its historic strengths in student leadership development, co-curricular programs and study abroad; its first international center opened in Costa Rica in 2010. Whitworth has been recognized nationally for its excellence in a number of areas. Over the past few years, the university was named a top producer of Fulbright scholars, The Whitworthian was honored as the top non-daily student newspaper in the country by the Society of Professional Journalists, the university was selected to receive the Award for Advancing Racial Harmony by the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities for its distinctive Act Six scholars program, the university's ethics and forensics teams brought home national championships, and the Pirates had seven NCAA teams finish in the top 20 nationally while winning the award for the best athletics program in the Northwest Conference for the fifth year in a row.

Best Vacuum Info launches campaign to highlight vacuum buying process secrets.
Charlotte, NC, United States of America – April 17, 2014 /MarketersMedia/ —
In the early twentieth century, vacuum cleaners tended to be large contraptions, requiring three people to operate the machines which ran off of coal. In fact, the vacuum cleaners remained outside of a building, making use of long hoses to clean carpeting. "Thankfully, advances in technology led to the development of smaller machines, ones which run off of electricity and are small enough for the average older child to use," Barbara Seaman of Best Vacuum Info (BestVacuumInfo.com) states. "Finding the right machine for one's needs depends on many factors, yet every home needs a vacuum cleaner of some type, such as the Shark sonic duo."
According to Random Facts, humans shed approximately 1.5 million skin flakes on an hourly basis, and most of these flakes end up in the carpets of the home. Furthermore, the website explains the Norovirus, the virus responsible for the stomach flu, survives in uncleaned carpets for 30 days or longer. "For these, and many other reasons, carpets need to be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis, and Best Vacuum Info strives to help each consumer find the right machine for use in their home," Seaman continues.
When choosing a vacuum, consumers must consider numerous factors, such as the type of flooring in the home, the number of pets, allergies of family members, and things of that nature. Many wish to own a machine which doesn't require bags because this helps to save money over the life of the machine. Others find it more important to own a machine that is inexpensive at time of purchase, yet still does what they need it to. "Each consumer has his or her own needs when it comes to a vacuum cleaner, and manufacturers understand this, making a wide variety of models designed to fit the requirements of each buyer," Seaman declares.
Consumers often choose the Shark Sonic Duo, a machine designed to tackle both hardwood floors and carpets. Those who choose this machine comment on the ease of use and the ergonomic handle. Some worry that it will damage their floors, yet the machine isn't a steam cleaner, making it safe for all types of flooring. Seaman recommends all check this machine out in their search for a new vacuum cleaner as it offers the features many are in need of at an affordable price.
Others prefer to purchase the shark rotator, a machine that functions as an upright, a canister vac, and a portable vac. This machine ensures one has a vacuum for every situation, and consumers love the versatility. "No matter what one is looking for when it comes to a new vacuum cleaner, Best Vacuum Info is the place to start. Thanks to the information offered on the site, one can easily find the vacuum which best meets his or her needs in a short period of time and at the lowest price possible," Seaman promises.

June 9th, 2010Dessert, Kid Friendly, Product Reviews
The good folks at PlentifulPantry sent me a couple of their dessert mixes to try and here is the second installment….Chidester Farms Blondies with Maple Sauce. The mix makes is sooooo simple to whip up a batch in no time and the blondies were very good – but what made this dessert GREAT is the maple sauce !! IT was rich and sweet without going overboard. It is a perfect sauce – I want to buy it and put in on EVERYTHING
The big box comes with enough ingredients to make 2 batches – 2 batches would fit in a 9×13 baking dish while 1 fits nicely in an 8×8 baking dish. This is as simple as putting together a cake mix – - simple, simple, simple . And the blondies….oh they just melt in your mouth !
As well as the mix, you will need a few ingredients:
¼ c water
1/3 c vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 batch yields 12 servings
250 calories per serving
Just follow the package instructions and then sit by the oven and wait – because you want to dig into these as quick as humanly possible !
Try serving with some lite vanilla ice cream or some whipped topping.
Be sure to visit PlentifulPantry and check out their products – they have a whole bunch of 'partially prepped' products that get you out of the kitchen faster without skimping on quality. This is also available this month at Costco – so be sure to get some and put the sauce in your coffee, on your morning cereal, in your granola – and even on the blondiesTags: blondie, chidester farms, costco, Dessert, eggs, Kid Friendly, maple sauce, mix. blondies with maple sauce, oil, plentiful pantry, sauce, water

VERMILLION, S.D. (KWSN)—A home opener against UC Davis, early-season trips to Lawrence, Kan., and Flagstaff, Ariz., and five home games in seven weeks highlight University of South Dakota's 2013 football schedule released Thursday by head football coach Joe Glenn.
This fall's slate features 12 regular season games, six home and six away, nine of which are rematches from a year ago. With the exception of Southern Illinois, the Coyotes will play all members of the Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC). In addition to UC Davis, non-conference opponents include Kansas, Northern Arizona and Montana.
"It will be great to play in front of the home fans six times," said Glenn. "We are really looking forward to opening at home against UC Davis. This is a competitive schedule and one that will have a great impact on our program."
Northern Arizona and Montana are two places Glenn has held coaching positions in the past. Glenn was the backfield coach in Flagstaff in 1975 before he received his first head coaching position at Doane College. He led Montana to a national championship in 2001 and a national runner-up finish in 2000.
USD and the Kansas Jayhawks will meet for the first time since 1900 on Sept. 7. The Coyotes open conference play at Western Illinois Sept. 28. DakotaDays occurs the following weekend, Oct. 5, against Missouri State.
South Dakota will honor its latest Hall of Fame class Oct. 12 before squaring off against Indiana State. A three-game home stand begins Nov. 2 against Youngstown State. South Dakota and in-state rival South Dakota State square off in the SD Corn Showdown Series Nov. 16 in what will be Senior Day in Vermillion.

A York County man has been arrested for an attempted child luring incident in Dover Township.
Theodore Irving Skinner, 73, of Conewago Township, tried to lure a 15-year-old boy into his vehicle Sept. 17 in the 3700 block of Davidsburg Road, Northern York County Regional police said Friday.
The teen told officers he was helping his mother with volunteer work and was taking trash to a dumpster when Skinner asked him to go for a ride so they could "have some fun," police said.
The boy said he asked Skinner what he meant and was told, "Don't worry about it, it will be fun," police said.
When he tried to walk away, he said Skinner gripped his shoulder to prevent him from leaving, according to police.
The teen's mother came outside and told her son to come inside, and as she went back into the building and the boy started to follow, Skinner grabbed him by the wrist and attempted to pull him towards his vehicle, police said.
The boy said he was able to break free and go inside.
Skinner was charged Monday with interference with the custody of children, luring a child into a motor vehicle and harassment.
He was later released from York County Prison on $20,000 bond, and has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Oct. 8.

Joe Posnanski is the NSSA 2011 National Sportswriter of the YearPosted: January 10, 2012 Filed under: Joe Posnanski, Sports Illustrated Awards | Tags: 2011 national sportswriter of the year, most nssa awards, national sportscasters and sportswriters association Comments Off
On Monday, senior writer Joe Posnanski (@jposnanski) was named the 2011 National Sportswriter of the Year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association. This marks the second consecutive year that a Sports Illustrated writer has been honored, as Peter King was the 2010 recipient of the award.
Since arriving at Sports Illustrated in 2009, Posnanski has cemented his reputation as a prolific and highly-regarded storyteller. His "Curiously Long Posts" is one of the most widely-read blogs in sports and has earned him several accolades in the past year, including a National Headliner Award for Online-only Writing and a FOLIO Eddie Award for Best Online Column or Blog. Posnanski has also written memorable cover stories for the past two "Where Are They Now?" issues—on Hall of Famers Yogi Berra (2011) and Stan Musial (2010)—in addition to numerous columns for the magazine's Scorecard and Point After. He has also been the regular back page columnist for GOLF Magazine since September.
Since the NSSA created the National Sportswriter Award in 1959, a Sports Illustrated writer has received the honor 20 times—the most of any organization. Congratulations to Joe!

HAYWARD, WI (WTAQ) - Sergio Bonaldi of Italy won the main men's race by a photo finish Saturday at the 40th American Birkbeiner cross country ski event in northwest Wisconsin.
It was originally thought that Italy's Fabio Santus won the 50-kilometer event from Cable to Hayward. But a photo review determined that Bonaldi was the winner.
The Italian men swept the top four positions.
Caitlin Gregg of Minneapolis won the women's Birkie. Tatjana Mannima of Estonia was just four-tenths of a second behind as the runner-up. Gregg won her second Birkie in three years.
Skiers from 21 countries and 48 states competed in the nation's largest Nordic ski race, and the fourth-largest in the world.

How to play a beep in MIDP 1.0 without other API
From Nokia Developer Wiki
Article Metadata
Created: firt (15 Apr 2007)
Last edited: lpvalente (13 Dec 2013)
This article demonstrates an alternate method to play beeps in MIDP 1.0 devices.
If you are developing a MIDP 1.0 application for older devices, you don't have access to additional APIs (like Nokia UI API and MMAPI) you don't have access to any multimedia feature.
But, with this trick, you can try to beep the user. You don't have control of how the beep works, and if the beep works. But, you can try it, and it is 100% MIDP 1.0 compatible.
The trick is to use the AlertType class to call the sound that the phone's UI use when shows an alert of some type, for example, Error.
So, the code is:

Later this week one of the most anticipated and remarkable East/West crossovers will occur when The 99 and the Justice League of America join forces.
In other words, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman will be joining forces with their Middle Eastern counterparts The 99 – Dr Ramzi Razem, Jabbar the Powerful, and Battina the Hidden to name but a few – to combat crime.
The 99, which only a year after its creation in 2007 was identified as one of the 'Top 20 Trends Sweeping the Globe' by Forbes Magazine, is the brainchild of Naif al-Mutawa, and has received the stamp of approval from Barack Obama who praised the Superheroes for embodying "the teachings of the tolerance of Islam".
It has also inspired a theme park in Kuwait and an animated series is in the offing (although this has been postponed till next year). This week, though, The 99 will go truly global!
But can they really change opinions on Islam and the Muslim world?
The series is obviously aimed at young children and the optimist within me believes that Muslim and non-Muslim children will immensely benefit from The 99.
Non-Muslim children will see brown and white characters acting in harmony on the side of good and so, hopefully, will become more consciously aware and accepting of ethnic-minorities. While Muslim children's self esteem and sense of place in society will, hopefully, improve as they see popular fictional characters that they can instantly relate to in the mainstream media – and in the current global climate surely this can only be a good thing?
In many respects however children aren't the problem. As long as The 99 are deemed sufficiently cool – and their collaboration with the DC comic crew will help this – children will automatically accept them – regardless of their appearance.
The 99's primary enemy is adults on both sides of the globe.
Last week the New York Post ran an article entitled 'Cancel The 99 before it starts' and there has been considerable fury across the web. Many Muslims, meanwhile, have declared al-Mutawa's creation as blasphemous, and in a great interview with the Observer's Carole Cadwalladr yesterday he talks of opposition from within his own family.
It seems that the those most angry are those who have misunderstood al-Mutawa's intentions. The heroes are based on the 99 attributes of Allah, but these are not attributes exclusively dedicated to Islam, they are attributes that all mankind should be committed too.
However, I fear that the good message and intentions of the comic maybe lost in the unnecessary and misguided focus on the characters origins rather than their actions.
The cynic in me says that in a world where we have recently witnessed controversy over plans for a Mosque near Ground Zero, France ban the burka and a Dutch politician denounce Islam, opinions – Muslim and non-Muslim alike – maybe difficult to change.
In many respects altering Western attitudes maybe easier than changing those of conservative Muslims. Let's not forget that Salman Rushdie, Pokemon and the Eyptian version of 'Who wants to be a millionaire' have all been issued fatwa's, and undoubtedly there are people who want, and are waiting for, The 99 to be issued one.
This could arguably be what The 99 needs to detach itself from its present negative connotations though. A fatwa on a comic strip that aims to improve the global reputation of Islam would be ridiculous and therefore attract mass media attention, which in turn would illustrate the al-Mutawa's commendable intentions.
The 99 this week will embark on their longest and toughest battle yet against their most determined, ruthless and daunting foe, and (excuse the cliché) they maybe winning the battle, but they are long way away from winning the war. However, surely if just one opinion is changed then they have been successful?

Part of the digestive system, the bowel connects the stomach to the anus, allowing waste materials to be passed from the body. The bowel helps to complete the bodys digestive process, by absorbing nutrients and water. The bowel comprises three parts:
- small bowel: predominantly responsible for absorbing food nutrients
- colon: predominantly responsible for absorbing water
- rectum: where waste material is stored until it is eliminated from the body via the anus.
What is bowel cancer?Bowel cancer is cancer in any part of the colon or rectum. It is an abnormal growth of body cells lining the bowel, forming a lump called a malignant tumour. The cancer cells may spread outside the bowel from the primary cancer to lymph glands or other organs and these clusters of cells are called metastases or secondary cancer.
How it startsMost bowel cancers start as warty-like growths, known as polyps, on the wall of the bowel. The word polyp refers to any visible structure which projects from the lining of the bowel wall. Polyps are very common as we get older one in 10 people over 50 have them but most polyps do not turn to cancer. If potentially cancerous polyps can be found at an early stage, they can be removed painlessly without the need for an operation. When polyps are discovered, they are best removed and carefully examined by a pathologist. It may take up to 10 years for a benign polyp (adenoma) to become an invasive cancer.
There are different types of polyps, but those that are associated with bowel cancer are termed adenomatous polyps or simply adenomas. This variety of polyp is important because there is strong evidence that some adenomas may undergo malignant change to produce cancer. Patients who are found to have adenomas are considered at risk of developing bowel cancer. This risk is difficult to quantify. It varies from patient to patient, and usually requires periodic surveillance by telescopic examination of all of the large bowel (colonoscopy).
Adenomas, when pre-cancerous are composed of abnormal, rapidly dividing cells whose suspicious appearance and behaviour can only be accurately recognised by the pathologist when examined under the microscope.
Therefore, when polyps are discovered they are best removed (polypectomy) so that they can be carefully examined and classified by a pathologist. Large adenomas (greater than two centimetres in diameter) are always suspected of having developed a small focus of cancer until proven otherwise by a pathologist.
Although polyps are very common, they usually dont produce symptoms and are usually discovered by chance at the time of a colonoscopy, or uncovered due to the presence of blood in the faeces (detected by a FOB Test).
A colonoscopy enables doctors to get a clear view of the whole length of the lining of the bowel, to search for and remove any polyps found, and have them examined. Up to 90% of polyps can be safely and completely removed by colonoscopy.
If adenomas are confirmed by a pathologist, it is recommended that the patient have regular check-ups by repeated colonoscopy. The frequency of examinations varies, and this needs to be discussed with the doctor who performed the colonoscopy.
CausesCurrent research suggests that bowel cancer is caused by changes to the cells lining the bowel wall. These cells become polyps, which may then develop into cancer cells. These changes may take between 5-10 years to develop and the causes are not completely understood. There are many types of polyps but the most important one to detect and remove is called an adenoma. Environmental and genetic factors may contribute to the development of polyps. Bowel cancer is more common in developed countries, which is thought to be due to the food we eat slowing the transit of stools through the bowel. This increases the exposure to the lining of the bowel by cancer producing substances called carcinogens. So diet can be important. Age, as well as genetic factors which might be inherited, are also important, and research in genetics and molecular biology is increasing our knowledge of these inherited factors.
SymptomsNot everyone will have symptoms, and the symptoms may vary.
The most common symptoms to look out for are:
- A persistent change in bowel habit (looser motions, severe constipation or more frequent visits) for several weeks
- Bleeding from the bottom for no obvious reason or blood mixed in the stool
- Abdominal pain, especially if severe and persistent.
Risk factors
Although the exact cause of bowel cancer is unknown there are certain factors known to increase your risk, including
- Age:
Bowel cancer tends to affect people aged 50 and over, though younger people can also be at risk. For peace of mind, everyone 50 or over should complete an annual FOB Test and/or have a regular colonoscopy.
- Family history:
Bowel cancer risk is increased in people who have significant family history of the disease (parents, children or siblings), especially if they developed bowel cancer or polyps at less than 50 years of age; or if more than one relative on the same side of a family has had the condition.
- Bowel polyps:
Abnormal growth of cells on the bowel wall that form a mushroom-like lump: usually only uncovered by a colonoscopy or FOB Test.
- Diet & Lifestyle:
Lifestyle issues may be important in reducing the risks such as: regular exercise, maintaining ideal weight and eating a diet low in fat and high in fibre.
- Inflammatory bowel disease:
People with a long history of Ulcerative Colitis or Crohns Disease, or who have previously had polyps removed, may be at an increased risk.

- Bowel cancer is the most common cause of internal cancer affecting Australian men and women.
- Bowel cancer affects both men & women almost equally.
- One in 20 Australians will develop bowel cancer. This increases to one in 10 if an immediate family member has had bowel cancer.
- Almost 5,000 Australians die each year from bowel cancer
- One Australian dies every two hours from bowel cancer.
- A healthy diet & regular exercise can help prevent bowel cancer!
- Australia has the highest incidence of bowel cancer in the world, but the good news is that more than 90% of people survive bowel cancer if it is detected early and treated before the disease has spread.
- Currently fewer than 40% of bowel cancers are detected early.
- If you are over 50, an annual bowel cancer screening test could save your life.
- More than 90% of bowel cancers are cured if detected and treated at an early stage.
- 90% of bowel cancers occur over the age of 50 but can occur at any age.

Oilers Official Training Camp Roster 2008
This week the Oilers released their TC roster. Sadly, there were no really good surprises. I always like to look for names like Anson Carter (a year ago), Esa Tikkanen (several years back), guys who are trying to hang on with an NHL team for one final go.

Those player types may be added (there are still interesting free agent names available) but for now we're left with the names we expected and a bunch of big men who may or may not be able to keep up at this level.

amg review
Jim Bryson's second album (and the second with his band the Occasionals) shows him getting more comfortable in the studio. Though it keeps country-rock as its main focus, The North Side Benches smoothes out the sound and the songwriting; where the guitars may have roared into overdrive on the first album, here they're restrained to a pleasant buzz and complemented nicely by the rest of the instrumentation. The added sonic richness still isn't enough to hide the melancholy, though. Album-opener "Sleeping in Toronto" is a bitter goodbye letter to someone who didn't seem to realize that just being back home was more important than the relationship; next up is a song about how everyone wishes they could be "Somewhere Else"; many of the rest of the tracks on the album share that sense of dissatisfaction with circumstances, places, and being lost inside your own life. Even though the sound here has been smoothed down and rendered more. . .mature, that aspect ultimately manages to make The North Side Benches a more compelling album. The North Side Benches also features a multimedia component that includes a link to five extra songs referred to as "The North Side Ditches", including demos of four of the tracks found on the album. ~ Sean Carruthers, Rovi

I haven't visited my own website in quite some time. Typically, that occurs when I don't have time to do so. The months since my last update are no exception to that rule. Here's the skinny since May 2012!
June 2012 – I presented a world premiere piece for two tubas and [a digital instrument called] GUA at the International Tuba Euphonium Conference in Linz Austria with my colleagues Nick Hwang [http://nickhwang.com/] Corey Knoll [http://jcoreyknoll.com/].
July 2012 – I traveled through Austria, the Czech Republic, and France with my girlfriend following the presentation in Linz. We had a wonderful time!
July 2012 – I moved to Austin, Texas in an attempt to alienate myself from my comfort zone and complete my doctorate writing document.
October 2012 – I saw Godspeed! You Black Emperor 3 times in 4 days
November 2012 – I traveled to Italy to participate in a solo competition. While I was there I visited Venice, Trieste, Cividale, Udine, and Milan.
November 2012 – I moved back to Baton Rouge because living in Austin was too awesome to get any work done.
February 2013 – I am currently in the final phases of writing my DMA document. It will be completed by March 15, and presented to the public on March 26 at 5:30PM in the Recital Hall at LSU. My final defense will take place about two weeks later, and I will graduate in May. Wahoo!!
I promise I will update this as time permits and I have stuff worth updating. For now, mark down March 4th in your calendars. I will be performing a solo recital at LSU at 7:30PM that evening. Please come by if you can!

A tragedy has struck North Washington Elementary School, and the students and staff are trying to cope with an unimaginable loss.
Tristan Yeager, 11, was a fifth-grade student at the school. Just before noon Sunday, Tristan lost his life in a two-vehicle accident on Perryville Road in Mercer County.
Amanda Mattingly, principal of NWES, said she received a call about the accident Sunday afternoon. Monday, she and her staff were preparing to consult their students as many of them learned the news of their classmate's death.
Article from Dr. Ray Smith, University of Kentucky College of Aquiculture
Overseeding of pastures is an excellent management tool that improves pasture production, forage quality and ensures a good ground cover the following year without major pasture renovations.
Overseeding consists of planting seed in a field with existing grass cover in order to fill in bare patches and thicken the stand.
It can be done over the entire pasture or limited to trouble areas.
Following an incredible run in 2013, the St. Catharine College Patriots volleyball team looks to build on their foundation of success in 2014.
SCC completed last season with one of the best records in school history with a 21-13 record overall and a 12-8 mark in the Mid-South Conference.
Despite their loss in the conference tournament semifinals to top-seeded Lindsey Wilson College, the eventual champion of the event, the Patriots ended their season on a high note.
Last Tuesday, the Washington County High School golf team traveled to Danville to participate in the All-A Regional tournament.
This marked the first year of WC's new alignment in an All-A region with Burgin, Danville and Somerset.
And for the fifth straight year, Emily Cox has qualified for the All-A state tournament, which will be held on Saturday, Sept. 6, at Eagles Nest Country Club in Somerset.
She carded an 88 on the day in order to qualify.
Having 12 seniors on this year's Washington County Commander football team is somewhat misleading.
Most of them are what head coach Eric Sagrecy calls "young seniors," as in they only recently started playing football.

Donors with types O negative, B negative and A negative blood are especially needed.
Blood donations often decline during the summer months, particularly around summer holidays. With school starting back up and summer activities coming to an end, there is still time for eligible donors to make a difference in the lives of patients this summer.

This is a group to just hang out and talk and chat:)
personly,i tihnk he should find a girl,outside of the supernatural world. Like, instead of him loving Bella,then loving Nessie. Because,like Stephenie kind of just stuck with the Cullens. If you didn't realize,that tthe Cullens are getting all the attention D:
And if Jake,had imprinted on someone else,outside of the whole vampire werewolf relm, it would be kinda cool.but that's my opinion. Then he wouldn't have the constant reminders of who he loved,even if he does have Nessie....you know?
lol,anywaaaays... HIIII ! :D lol
That kiss made her realize that he would be the natural path her live would've walked. And that she did love him.
''Why wasn't I stopping this? Worse than that, why couldn't I find in myself even the desire to want to stop? What did it mean that I didn't want him to stop?''
''Jacob was right. He'd been right all along. He was more than just my friend.''
''I could see years passing, and meaning something as they passed, changing me. i could see the enormous red- brown wolf that I loved, always standing as protector if I needed him. For the tiniest fragment of that second I saw the bobbing heads of two, small black- haired children running away from me into the familiair forest.''
Yup. She loves him.
I can't believe Jacob actually kissed Bella in Eclipse. That's what it said in the book. Bella didn't even kiss Jacob until Eclipse came. Team Jacob all the way! <3
I personally think that Bella and Jake would be a perfect couple. He could really make her happy and forget about Edward. He really loves her. He wouldn't go 'cause he would know that would hurt her.
Read... nessies comet..
thats the good thing: that jacob imprints on someone, so if bella and edward werent together, jacob wouldn't imprint on anyone

Keeps your toes toasty
By Amanda the cyclist
from Fresno, ca
For the price, you can't beat it. They are easy on and easy off, and keep my toes warm during cold weather rides. Mostly worn in rides between 40-50 degrees in windy conditions. They are worn with SL pedals and fit over the shoe well.
Affordable and works great

Nashbar excellent service
Works in Texas cold
By Stevee56
from Austin, TX
Have worn these for the last few weeks while biking in Texas. We don't get the frozen temperatures often, but these have worked great in keeping my feet warm even in our coldest weather so far.
Gets the job done.
By bc0203
from Richmond, VA
These are more than adequate for keeping your feet shielded from the elements down to about 45 degrees; the main issue I have with them is if you walk around with them on, you'll need to reposition them on your feet properly before riding again.
good product, great price.

About Me Casual/ Recreational
Used these for the first time with shimano xc 50n shoes in 29 degrees Fahrenheit. Toes stayed warm for about an hour. They then started to get cooler, but not uncomfortably so. The fit could be a little better. I wear size 44 shoes. The xl fit but left some slight bulging around front of toes. Overall recommended
By Scott
from TX
Kept my toes from freezing in 30 and 40 degree weather. Stiff at first, but they loosen up and are easy to switch from shoe to shoe after that.
No more cold "Piggies"
By Ed
from Columbus, OH
I don't understand the review "knocks" I read before purchasing the product. They stay in place, easy to get in and out of and do their job. I can't see them not being durable but even if only a couple seasons they last,...good value. I like them.
A bit of extra protection
By Mantelclock
from Connecticut
I use touring pedals (platforms) with half clips and these covers fit nicely over my shoes and into the clips. While my feet still get cold when it's below freezing, the covers do add some protection from the cold.
good and bad

Midweek Madness revives classic non-hit 'The Robot'

An Advanced Decision will not cover you in the event that you lose mental capacity and are unable to govern your own financial affairs or to make decisions for instance, where you might reside and issues relating to your optical and dentistry needs. This is why we advocated a Lasting Power of Attorney in addition to your Advanced Decision.
The Code of Practice under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 makes it quite clear that in an Advanced Decision you cannot seek to refuse basic care which includes the provision of warmth, shelter and the offering of food and water by mouth.
In order to enter into an Advanced Decision you need to have mental capacity to do so.
An Advanced Decision must still be applicable to the treatment in question at the material time. It will not be applicable if you are still able to make decisions yourself i.e. it will only apply when the capacity to decide for yourself has been lost. Nor will the Advanced Decision be applicable if there are reasonable grounds to believe that circumstances exist which you did not anticipate when you made the Advanced Decision which would have effected your decision had you known about them. This is why Advanced Decisions must be kept up to date, for instance if you made an Advanced Decision and a new type of treatment or machine came onto the market in later years a Doctor is likely to ask the question would you have been influenced by that and still maintained your decision.
You can refuse all medical or surgical treatment or procedures (including life sustaining treatment) which are aimed only at prolonging or sustaining your life and this refusal shall apply to such procedures and treatment even if your life is at risk. It cannot be used to request specific medical treatment, nor can it be used to request an illegal act e.g. help in committing suicide.
Advance Decisions to refuse treatment are covered by the Mental Capacity Act 2005. A valid Advance Decision refusing life saving treatment means, by law, that a person cannot be treated. If treatment was provided, then legal action may be taken against the healthcare provider doing so.

Becky grew up in Richmond, Virginia, where she attended school and lived, until she went onto graduate from James Madison University with a degree in psychology, and recently obtained her elementary school teaching license from Mary Baldwin College. She is currently a teaching Language Arts and Social Studies to fourth graders at St. Andrew's School. It is her dream to share the gift of yoga with as many individuals as possible; old and young alike.
She is a 200 hour RYT, and trained very closely under Arlene Bjork through Grace Yoga Training Systems, before she passed away in late 2009. Becky has been able to meet some amazing individuals through her yoga training, which just happened to fall into her lap after college graduation. Becky strongly believes that she did not find yoga…yoga found her. She was back home in Richmond and began going to classes at The ACAC Health Club, and was hooked immediately. She knew that this was something she had to do include in her life, and soon after she began networking, searching, and practicing at other Richmond studios. Arlene was introduced to Becky by one of her very first teachers (and very dear friend) Sonja Stoeckli. They went onto become close friends, and she inspired Becky to enter her teacher training program, and the rest is history. Yoga has been very healing for Becky, as it gives her a way to stay balanced mentally and physically. In fact, she doesn't know how she lived for 24 years without it! It has opened her eyes to so many beautiful philosophies and ways of living, and it has led her to meet many astounding individuals. When life gets crazy and uncertain, there is one thing that she is certain of yoga will always be there. Whenever she practices, she can hear the voice of her teacher telling her to simply, "Stay encouraged."
Becky is currently an Ambassador for both Lululemon Athletica and Project Yoga Richmond. She is also a trained Ambassador for YoKid Stretch Your Limits. She is also currently training to be a YoKid Facilitator Trainer so that she may impart the knowledge with fellow teachers how to share to gift of yoga with children. In addition to these, Becky is also in the middle of training with her dear friend Nitya to be able to teach thought another children's format called "Yoga with Nitya" format.

Holy Priest Healing Statistics Priority and Reforging (MoP 5.4)
On this page, we explain what the best statistics are for Holy Priests in World of Warcraft MoP 5.4, how the class benefits from each of them, and what your reforging strategy should be. We also detail what the various caps are (if any) and why they should be attained.
The statistics priority is important as it influences reforging strategies as well as itemisation choices (gear, enchants, and gems).
Make sure to check our Gear Optimisation Guide, which serves as a support guide for this article.
The other pages of our Holy Priest guide can be accessed from the table of contents on the right.
This guide has been reviewed and approved by Jhazrun, one of the best Holy Priests in the world, who raids in Paragon.
1. Basics↑top
The stat priority for a Holy Priest differs between 25-man and 10-man raiding.
1.1. 25-man
- Intellect;
- Spirit;
- Mastery Rating;
- Critical Strike Rating;
- Haste Rating.
1.2. 10-man
- Intellect;
- Spirit;
- Haste Rating (until the soft cap);
- Critical Strike Rating;
- Mastery Rating.
These statistics have been obtained by combining common sense, in-game testing, and simulations using Simulation Craft.
If you are unsure what the optimal reforging strategy is for the above priority, you can Ask Mr. Robot for a personalised optimisation of your character's gear, by filling the form below.
2. Getting a Better Understanding↑top
2.1. Statistics Explanations
Intellect is your primary stat. You should look for this stat in all of your upgrades. It provides you with Spell Power, which increases the power of your heals, and increases your critical strike chance.
Spirit is a very important statistic for all healers and Holy Priests are no exception. As a Holy Priest, you do not lack the abilities to do enormous amounts of healing, and your only limiting factor will often be your mana. You should aim to get innate Spirit on all of your items.
Mastery Rating increases the amount of healing done by your Mastery: Echo of Light. This causes each one of your direct heals to place a HoT on the target, healing for a percentage of the initial heal over 6 seconds. Successive applications of this HoT do stack. In terms of throughput, Mastery is the best statistic.
Note that in 10-man raiding, Mastery is of low importance since it does not benefit from Renew (which is used extensively).
Critical Strike Rating is not considered valuable, due to its unpredictability and its lower healing throughput.
Haste Rating lowers the cast time of your heals (especially useful for Prayer of Healing), lowers your global cooldown (which benefits all of your instant cast spells) and can adds extra ticks to your Renew, Lightwell, and Holy Word: Sanctuary. There are several soft caps for your Haste Rating, which are amounts of haste at which the above-mentioned spells (most importantly Renew) gain extra ticks.
In 25-man raiding, Renew is not used often enough that you should go out of your way to gain any additional Haste Rating. Therefore, we do not advise 25-man raiders to go for any of the soft caps.
In 10-man raiding, where Renew is used extensively, there is an important soft haste cap.
2.2. 10-man Soft Haste Cap
At 16.66% haste, you get an additional tick of Renew. In the process of reaching that cap, you will also gain 3 additional ticks of Holy Word: Sanctuary (the third additional tick being gained at 16.65% haste) and an additional tick of Lightwell (at 16.65% haste).
Below you will find the Haste Rating values you need, to reach this 16.66% soft haste cap.
|+5% Spell Haste Raid Buff
|Haste Rating Needed
If you have heard about a soft haste cap at 3039 Haste Rating, it corresponds to the 12.51% haste value at which you gain an additional tick of Renew when not using Glyph of Renew. Since we consider this glyph to be mandatory, we chose to ignore the soft haste cap for unglyphed Renew.
3. Changelog↑top
- 10 Sep. 2013: Patch 5.4 update: nothing to change.
- 20 May 2013: Patch 5.3 update: nothing to change.
- 19 Apr. 2013: Added 10-man stat priority. Added a mention on why Mastery Rating is not desirable in 10-man. Mentioned the 10-man soft haste cap.
- 28 Mar. 2013: Updated statistic priority for Patch 5.2 trends. More specifically, listed Mastery Rating as the most valuable statistic, and Haste Rating as the least valuable.
