text: content LE Magazine January 2006 Glutamine High glutathione turnover in human cell lines revealed by acivicin inhibition of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase and the effects of thiol-reactive metals during acivicin inhibition. BACKGROUND: Glutathione is the most abundant nonprotein sulfhydryl-containing compound and constitutes the largest component of the endogenous thiol buffer. Glutathione is known to have multifaceted physiological functions and is a critical factor in protecting organisms against toxicity and disease. Intracellular cysteine concentration is a limiting factor for glutathione synthesis. METHODS: In the present study, the metabolism of intra- and extracellular glutathione in HeLa and hepatoma cell cultures is investigated by using different transport inhibitors for cellular uptake of cystine/cysteine. RESULTS: There exist several ways of cystine/cysteine transport into HeLa and hepatoma cells, and inhibition of them decreased intracellular concentration of cystine/cysteine and in some cases also of glutathione. It was also shown that a large pool of total cell culture glutathione was located extracellularly in both HeLa and hepatoma cell cultures when gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GT) activity was inhibited by acivicin (ACI). Furthermore, the addition of thiol-reactive metal ions significantly increased the total amount of glutathione in hepatoma cell cultures during acivicin inhibition. Thus, occasional determinations of extracellular concentrations of glutathione without GT inhibition strongly underestimate the total turnover of glutathione in a cell culture. CONCLUSION: This finding has important implications for future research in glutathione metabolism and the understanding of its role in human health and disease. Clin Chim Acta. 2004 Nov;349(1-2):45-52 The multifood allergy syndrome. Multiple food intolerance in infants and young children is increasingly diagnosed. More than 40% of infants less than 1 y.o. could be affected. The syndrome is characterized by the seriousness of atopic dermatitis (SCORAD > 50), by enterocolitis or failure to thrive or various associations of symptoms that may change over time. The evolution is long-lasting. Common food allergens are milk, egg, soy, wheat, but other ones can be implicated. The diagnosis is established by standardized oral challenges. Multiple etiopathogenic factors are involved: atopy, gastro-enteritis induced intestinal hyperpermeability, precocity of food diversification, breast-feeding continued after the onset of symptoms. Amino-acid based formulas have changed the evolution. Allerg Immunol (Paris). 2000 Jan;32(1):12-5 Intestinal permeability in Crohn's disease patients and their first degree relatives. BACKGROUND: Family studies suggested that an altered intestinal permeability plays a role in the genesis of Crohn's disease. AIM: Aim of the present study was to investigate a possible genetic alteration of the mucosal barrier in Crohn's disease. SUBJECTS: 16 Crohn's disease patients and 26 of their cohabiting first degree relatives were studied. METHODS: To investigate intestinal permeability, Cellobiose/Mannitol test was administered to both groups. RESULTS: In the two groups, we found that the median intestinal permeability values were higher and statistically different from those obtained in 32 healthy control subjects as well as in five healthy control families. Six (37.5%) Crohn's disease patients and three (11.5%) of their first degree relatives showed increased individual intestinal permeability values. Intestinal permeability alteration in Crohn's disease patients was unrelated to sex, age, disease activity, localisation, duration, treatment schedule, as well as to serum anti-Saccharomyces cervisiae antibody positivity in a pilot study conducted in 7 Crohn's disease patients; anti-Saccharomyces cervisiae antibody values were negative in all 10 first degree relatives investigated. CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate the increase in IP in 37% of the patients and in 11% of their relatives. More extensive investigation of the correlation between ASCA alterations and IP will be needed in both patients with Crohn's disease and their relatives. Dig Liver Dis. 2001 Nov;33(8):680-5 Alanyl-glutamine-supplemented parenteral nutrition increases luminal mucus gel and decreases permeability in the rat small intestine. BACKGROUND: Effect of supplemental alanyl-glutamine in standard TPN (S-TPN) on luminal mucus gel and small intestinal permeability was investigated. METHODS: Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into group I (n = 10), receiving standard rat diet; group II (n = 10), receiving S-TPN; and group III (n = 10), receiving alanyl-glutamine-supplemented TPN for 1 week. After 1 week, fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran was injected into the small intestine of the rats, and they were killed. A small intestinal sample and portal blood were obtained for morphologic and functional analysis of mucus gel and intestinal permeability. RESULTS: In group II, thickness and optical density of mucus gel per millimeter serosal length of intestine were significantly lower than group I (p<.001) and were significantly higher in group III than in group II (p<.001). The number of goblet cells in the villi and in the crypt of the small intestine was significantly lower in group II than in group I (p<.001) and was significantly higher in group III than in group II (p<.001), with the exception of the villi of jejunum. Villous and crypt surface area per millimeter serosal length of intestine was significantly lower in group II than in group I (p<.001) and was significantly higher in group III than in group II (p<.001). Small intestinal permeability to FITC-dextran was significantly higher in group II than in group I (p<.001) and was significantly lower in group III than in group II (p<.001). Glucosamine synthetase level was significantly higher in group III than in group I and ileum of group II (p<.001). CONCLUSIONS: Alanyl-glutamine-supplemented TPN prevents a decrease in mucus gel and an increase in small intestinal permeability associated with S-TPN. JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr. 1999 Jan-Feb;23(1):24-31 Narrative review: celiac disease: understanding a complex autoimmune disorder. Celiac disease is a common autoimmune disorder that has genetic, environmental, and immunologic components. It is characterized by an immune response to ingested wheat gluten and related proteins of rye and barley that leads to inflammation, villous atrophy, and crypt hyperplasia in the intestine. The disease is closely associated with genes that code for human leukocyte antigens DQ2 and DQ8. Transglutaminase 2 appears to be an important component of the disease, both as a deamidating enzyme that can enhance the immunostimulatory effect of gluten and as a target autoantigen in the immune response. Sensitive and specific serologic tests, including those for anti-transglutaminase antibody, are facilitating fast and noninvasive screening for celiac disease. Thus, they are contributing to a more accurate estimate of the prevalence of the disease and its association with other disorders. Celiac disease is associated with increased rates of anemia, osteoporosis, cancer, neurologic deficits, and additional autoimmune disorders. A gluten-free diet is the mainstay of safe and effective treatment of celiac disease, although its effect on some of the extraintestinal manifestations of the disease remains to be determined. Ann Intern Med. 2005 Feb 15;142(4):289-98 Whole-body protein metabolism assessed by leucine and glutamine kinetics in adult patients with active celiac disease. To assess the effect of increased renewal of intestinal epithelial cells on leucine and glutamine (Gln) turnover, 4-hour intravenous infusions of L-[1-(13)C]leucine and L-[2-(15)N]Gln were administered to five adult patients with active celiac disease in the postabsorptive state. There was a 35% increase in leucine flux (micromoles per kilogram per hour) in patients (117 +/- 17) compared with healthy controls (96 +/- 11, P < .03). Gln flux was increased by 13% in patients (377 +/- 35) versus controls (335 +/- 16, P < .04). These results suggest that active celiac disease, characterized by villous atrophy and crypt cell hyperplasia, is associated with a dramatic increase in whole-body protein breakdown as assessed by 13C-leucine, which may contribute per se to the protein malnutrition status of the patients. The increase in Gln utilization as assessed by L-[2-(15)N]Gln was moderate, but may have been offset due to the villose atrophy and ensuing reduced intestinal epithelial cell mass. The results are consistent with the concept that increased renewal of intestinal epithelial cells represents a sizable fraction of whole-body protein turnover and that Gln is an important fuel for epithelial intestinal cells in vivo. Metabolism. 1998 Dec;47(12):1429-33 Page12345

Shirley challenges women as she mentors and leads retreats.
"It gives me great joy and satisfaction to watch women step out of their comfort zones and step up to the plate for God," she says.
When two younger women asked Shirley to mentor them, they went from discussing Christian books to developing a women's retreat. Now, the trio speaks 20 times a year and has written a devotional book.
Shirley says Evangelical gave her a firm foundation on which to build her ministry and practical techniques for teaching and speaking.

(Reuters) - STMicroelectronics NV
The company, whose chips are used in cars, computers and mobile phones, reported quarterly net revenue of $2.01 billion, down from $2.17 billion in the year-ago quarter.
Ahead of the results, Bernstein and JP Morgan analysts said STMicro could also be affected by the decline of smartphone maker Blackberry, for which it produced chips for camera modules. That may, in turn, weigh on current-quarter results.
The company said current-quarter revenue would be unchanged from the prior three months, plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
"Blackberry might have canceled many models and STMicro supplied them with camera modules but also possibly other components such as MEMS" or motion sensors, JP Morgan analysts wrote in a note.
Although STMicroelectronics exited its joint venture in mobile chips with Sweden's Ericsson in March, it still earns about a quarter of its revenue from chips for mobile gadgets.
It also lost a key contract for chips in Apple Inc's
ST Micro, which competes with Texas Instruments Inc
Analysts on average had expected third-quarter revenue of $2.045 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
"We saw overall year-over-year revenue improvement of 3.9 percent across our business outside of the Wireless product line," ST President and Chief Executive Carlo Bozotti said in a statement.
"On the other hand, this growth was milder than expected due to a muted order pattern during the quarter, driven by softness in high-end smartphones in Asia and the mass market in Asia, including the cable set-top box market in certain countries."
Bozotti, however, pointed out that automotive demand remained a bright spot for the company.
The stock price of STMicro has risen about 21 percent this year to close at 6.372 euros on Tuesday before earnings were published, giving it a market capitalization of about 5.93 billion euros ($8.17 billion).

Alright, you people need to stop with the comparisons to the God of War series. Do you not know that Castlevania: Lament of Innocence came out BEFORE the first God of War game? Did you not know that it was Castlevania that started with that kind of combat style? Next time, play a game on its own merits and stop calling it a ripoff of another series, when it's not. "Similar" does not automatically mean "ripoff". Not to mention that these games have a completely different atmosphere than the God of War game. All in all, I thought that this article was unprofessional.

Shawon Dunston Jr. embraces his namesake
Posted May 19, 2011
The burden to bear is large for sons of former Major League Baseball players.
Especially when pops was the first pick in the 1982 Major League Draft. Especially when you carry the exact same name.
But Shawon Dunston Jr. has never seen it that way. The Valley Christian (San Jose, Calif.) senior says it's all a blessing.
Rather than shrivel up to all the comparisons and spotlights and gawking, Dunston Jr. is an open bloom, a living, sprinting, charismatic shrine to his dad, an 18-year Major Leagues veteran and current special instructor for the San Francisco Giants.
"My dad taught me everything I know about baseball," Dunston Jr. said Tuesday. "He taught me how to apply it to life – how to push yourself every day and not let up because the competition keeps coming after you. My dad is definitely my role model. He made a living playing baseball for 18 years. That's just what I want to do."
Dunston Jr. has a legitimate shot at it, though he clearly won't be the top pick in June's amateur draft.
The 6-foot-2, 170-pound centerfielder has signed a letter of intent to Vanderbilt and last summer played in the Aflac All-American game in San Diego.
Blessed with great range, instincts and speed – he was timed at 3.8 from home to first (Ichiro Suzuki is 3.7) - the left-handed hitter will surely get drafted. But whether it will be high enough to sway him from a college education at the nation's current No. 7 team is difficult to say.
Heading into today's first-round Central Coast Section baseball playoff game with visiting Santa Clara, Dunston Jr. is hitting .295 with 19 runs, 16 RBIs and seven extra-base hits including three triples in 88 at-bats.
"It's a great education and a great program," said Dunston Jr., who picked Vanderbilt over Oregon, Oregon State, USC, Miami and LSU. "They've produced a lot of first-round picks."
Said Valley Christian coach John Diatte: "Personally, I'd like him to go to college. But he has a lot of potential. He's a great athlete with tools. If Shawon has the opportunity to be drafted he'll have a tough decision for sure."
Giving it back
He's been around the top of the game his whole life.
He skipped around the Giants' clubhouse often during the 2001 and 2002 seasons, the latter when they won the National League pennant. Dunston, a career .269 hitter with 150 home runs for 10 different teams, was a reserve outfielder on those San Francisco squads.
Those were some of his son's fondest memories.
"Seeing my dad hit a home run in the World Series was very cool," Dunston Jr. said. "So was being around one of the greatest players ever (Barry Bonds)."
These days Dunston Jr. has bonded with the younger Giants – Buster Posey, Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain – when he visits his dad.
Dunston coaches during all home games for the Giants, occasional away games and often instructs for the franchise's Single-A San Jose squad. Dunston Jr. wasn't with the Giants when they won the World Series in Texas last season but he did ride in the parade with his dad, mom Tracie and three sisters.
"That was a great day both as a Giants fan and a family experience," Dunston Jr. said.
Carrying his dad's name does create pressure, though.
"I didn't feel it as much as a youth but in high school it's definitely there. People know who you are and want to show you up. I try to just give it back but at the same time not let it consume me," Dunston Jr. said. "I'm fortunate because of the talents my dad and mom gave me, but I'm my own person too."
No argument there from Diatte. He's been around Dunston Jr. since he arrived at the private K-12 school in the seventh grade.
"He's a very good kid," Diatte said. "Very personable. He's polite, says the right things and all (his teammates) enjoy being around him."
He thinks the burden Dunston Jr. feels is probably more than he lets on.
"No one knows how hard it is to be him," he said. "Few know what it's like to be in a big league locker room and how that affects him. He very much wants to be a successful baseball player. He puts it on himself."
What are his strengths and weaknesses?
"He's a great defensive player, has incredible speed and excellent pop in his bat," Diatte said. "He needs to work on his arm strength and making sure every at-bat counts."
Dunston Jr. goes to his dad for advice about as often as dad seeks to give it.
"It's definitely 50-50," Dunston Jr. said. "I'm 18 years old and stubborn sometimes. He'll come to me just when he thinks I need it."
Diatte said Dunston has always allowed him to do his job.
"Shawon Sr. has been awesome," Diatte said. "He lets us do the coaching and he talks to his son after the game. He's hands off but always very personable and very helpful."
As far as Dunston Jr. with his teammates?
"He's just one of the guys," Diatte said. "They treat him like anyone else. They don't care what his name is."
More on Dunston Jr.
- His older sister Jasmine is a softball player for Tennessee State. Younger sister I'sha is a freshman at Valley Christian and plays basketball.
- His mom Tracie played softball in high school. "She knows more about baseball than most baseball dads," Dunston Jr. said.
- On playing his final high school games: "I started thinking about it Sunday. (Today) will be my last home game. I've made great friends and had great coaches and teachers here and I'm going to miss them greatly."
- Valley Christian (15-12) has played one of the toughest schedules in Northern California and enters as the seventh seed in the 16-team CCS D1 tournament. "We've been up and down all year but beaten two of the top teams in the state – St. Francis and Mitty. If we get hot at the right time there's no reason why we can't win it."
- He plans to study sports business and management at Vanderbilt.
- He played second base and shortstop, like his dad, until he was a freshman at Valley Christian.
- He runs 6.58 seconds in the 60-yard dash.
- Shawon's teammate and shortstop Matt Jackson has a scholarship to Washington.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- When two of the coaches turn around to snatch up talent on "The Voice," in the spring, some viewers might do a double-take. That's because there will be two new coaches on the show when it returns after the current set of shows. Usher and Shakira will join the show, while Christina Aguilera and CeeLo Green take some time off. NBC says original coaches Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will stay with the show -- and all the current judges will be on the show through its third season, which started last week. While they are away from the show CeeLo will be developing new music and a sitcom based on his life. Meanwhile, Aguilera will be hitting the road to support her new album.

aesthetically they are fine...but what about energy efficency
susrith...I doubt they cook a lot. but yeah, they look beautiful.
Love the look. But I love that sink in the second picture even more. That house tour was amazing.
Oh, that first pic still gives me chills! But it's true about the energy issue, esp. with old electric stoves. I had an adorable vintage Philco that we ultimately had to replace b/c we're everyday cookers and while I think it would have lasted forever, I couldn't afford to keep it running! As far as I know, it still lives on. Ended up giving it away on Freecycle.
hmmmmm. not really sure about this....
first pic: i would not be able to stop scrubbing it to try and make it clean.
i had an old stove, something like Rachel Ray had. It was super cute but I had to light the burners with a match and the oven had one temperature, 275 degrees. Since I am a cook, I could not deal with it. THe previous owner was furious about it and told me "it would have been worth so much if you had it fixed" and believe me I tried. So, cute but not functional in our house!
I grew up in a home -though in New Zealand, not New England- with an old Aga my parents had taken off the hands of some other couple, and that my father converted to gas. It was, and still is, used every single day in our house, and serves also to keep the house warm as it's lit for long periods each day.
It is one of my most beloved childhood memories, and is still the best oven I have ever known. So in my case, I would pick our beautiful old cream enameled aga oven, that made fantastic food and some of my favourite memories, over shiny fancy new ones anyday.
Besides, after having grown up with an oven that was always warm, I still can't figure out how to turn on most modern ones anyway!
LOVE. Absolutely love them. And they're even better if they've been converted to gas. I used to live in rural Maine, and always loved the idea of having a wood burning version of these. They stay super hot though. So they're one of those things you use in the (perpetual) winters of Maine.
i want kitchen #2
kimkej, that was probably a Chambers. I have one, and yes, they are a pretty penny if you get them working. You have to follow certain rules about cleaning and upkeep, but they are so very worth it. I pre-heat the oven, put whatever I need to into it, leave it in for 15 minutes, turn off the oven for an hour. Anyone who wants to argue about the energy efficiency of my Chambers can look at the fact that to keep it hot for an hour it only needs to be on for 25ish minutes. Also, the broiler is fabulous and the well (built-in crock pot) is inanely neat.
That stove will go everywhere with me, even if it is so heavy you need 4 people to lift it.
*insanely neat, not inanely.
I bet the energy efficiency of a small vintage stove (that managed to feed families daily) is probably not any worse than one of those commercial-grade stainless steel Wolf monsters that half the time are for show.
In a place that's cold all the time, I get it. In my neck of the woods, though, these guys would heat the house beyond human-tolerable levels for about half the year. As much as I love the look of these old ovens, I appreciate the insulation of new ones.
Beautiful, and from my memories on an old farm, very efficient. The one like pic #3 had those 2 ovens, the best baking for bread, pies and roasts ever, and enough room on the range for complicated party multitasking. I often am nostalgic for that ease and beauty in a stove.

The Scalp Med purchase, which gives Guthy-Renker 51 percent of a tested infomercial player that racked up $100 million in sales over the last two years, is the first of what's expected to be a number of beauty and personal care plays by the direct-response giant. The acquisition strategy is a break from Guthy-Renker's long-standing practice of growing brands such as Proactiv Solution and Sheer Cover in-house.
"As you grow, to be 10, 15 percent bigger than the year before, you need more than you used to," said Ben Van de Bunt, co-owner of Guthy-Renker. "We are trying to accelerate homegrown [brands] and acquisitions. There will definitely not be a slowdown in the homegrown [strategy]."
Guthy-Renker, based in Palm Desert, Calif., broke into the acquisition fray in earnest last year when it entered the sweepstakes for Kate Somerville, a skin care business that ultimately merged in spring with San Francisco-based private equity firm JH Partners. Shortly after the JH deal, Greg Renker, founding principal of Guthy-Renker, said acquisition targets would largely be companies under $100 million in annual revenues that had a history, even if brief, of success on television either with infomercials or shopping channel appearances.
Van de Bunt explained that Scalp Med was an attractive brand due to its two years experience running infomercials and its appeal to women, who constitute one-third of its customers. He estimated that Guthy-Renker would triple the brand's revenues in the next five years by drawing upon its infrastructure to sell Scalp Med's minoxidil-fueled products, which were created by Nevada Hair and Scalp Institute director Shane Malek.
"People feel that the [hair growth] products available to them aren't effective," said Van de Bunt. "From everything that we can see in terms of [Scalp Med's] customer response, the inventor of this product has come up with a great solution to a big problem."
Van de Bunt equated Scalp Med's ability to show before-after results imagery, critical to woo infomercial audiences, to Proactiv, Guthy-Renker's largest brand that accounted for almost half its more than $1.6 billion in sales last year. He said Guthy-Renker is currently developing is own Scalp Med infomercials that are slated to run in the first half of this year. Guthy Renker has wrangled celebrities, including Sean "P. Diddy" Combs and Jessica Simpson, into its Proactiv spots and could eventually do the same for Scalp Med.

A large fire is burning north of Luke Air Force Base, near Olive and Litchfield Road.
At least 100 tons of wood chips and brush piles are on fire -- and the fire has already charred some power poles and is threatening farm equipment.
The Rural Metro Fire Department is working to contain the blaze, but due to the high winds, they will not be able to immediately put it out.
"Really the only way to fight this fire is being right on top of it or upwind. If you or I were to take a house right now and try to spray it, it would come right back on us, so even the water being used out here sometimes is ineffective just because of the high winds," said Colin Williams, Rural Metro.
Firefighters say the fire may burn for a couple of days.

How To Achieve Optimal Perioperative Glycemic Control In Patients With Diabetes
- Volume 19 - Issue 12 - December 2006
- 16181 reads
- 0 comments
Special circumstances, such as insulin pump management and IV insulin infusions, warrant further discussion and are beyond the scope of this article. In general, physicians maintain insulin pump use for these patients while they are inpatients and adjust this use as needed. If the patient is unable to manage the pump (due to illness, medications, anesthesia, etc.), then he or she will usually receive an insulin infusion or a calculated basal-bolus or subcutaneous insulin regimen.
In Summary
This article gives a brief presentation on the perioperative glycemic controls we use at our institution. A well-considered protocol is important in delivering consistent quality care but each patient is unique in his or her metabolic needs, and requires careful scrutiny. If the complexity of your patient's medical status exceeds your comfort level in managing the patient, we strongly advise having a medical or endocrinology consult to assist you.

SPOKANE, Wash-- Police Chief Frank Straub held a brief press conference Friday about the investigation into the beating death of an 88-year-old World War II veteran. Straub stressed that the beating was not racially motivated.
One suspect is in custody for the beating death of Delbert Belton.
MEMORIAL: Details on Friday night ceremony
Officers arrested Demetrius Glenn, 16, Thursday night in Spokane. He and Kenan Adams-Kinard, 16, do have gang ties according to Straub. Both teenage suspects are African American. However, Straub said the attack was not racially motivated.
Due to the severity of the crime, KREM 2 News is releasing the names of the juveniles suspected of the crime.
PHOTOS: Victim and suspects
Chief Straub said the two suspects were looking to commit a robbery in North Spokane on Wednesday night near Francis and Lidgerwood. Straub said that instead the suspects beat Belton with a flashlight outside of the Eagles Ice-A-Rena. He died Thursday morning.
Glenn was booked into Juvenile Detention on 1st Degree Robbery and 1st Degree Murder charges late Thursday night. The teen had a cut on his hand, according to court documents. He was scheduled to make his first court appearance for the murder and robbery charges Monday in Spokane. He is expected to be charged as an adult.
WATCH: Victim's daughter-in-law
Sources told KREM 2 News that Demetrius Glenn has a lengthy criminal history. He was convicted of assault and riot and was supposed to be in court on August 28th for another charge.
Detectives believe Glenn and Adams-Kinard were captured on security tape, around the time of the crime, at Arby's, Jack in the Box, Lowes & Eagles Ice-A-Rena. A school security officer also reportedly identified Demetrius Glenn as one of the men in the security photos.
On Friday, the Spokane County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed that the victim, Delbert Belton, died of blunt facial and head injuries.
WATCH: Victim's nephew
Court Documents also revealed Friday Belton was found at the scene of the assault lying in his vehicle with his body wedged between the front bucket seats. Detectives said a broken flashlight was recovered in the car.
Investigators said Belton was attacked in the parking lot behind the arena, belonging to the Fraternal Order of Eagles. He had just arrived in his car to play pool with a female friend. A witness said she saw two young men run away from Belton's car.
Belton had been taken to the Intensive Care Unit after the assault. Authorities said he suffered numerous facial factures and the blows to his head ultimately led to his death. A memorial was placed outside the lodge of the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
Major Crimes is investigating and are asking anybody with information to please call Crime Check at 509-456-2233.

What is Gestational Diabetes?
There's a phenomenon during pregnancy that causes "insulin resistance," which means that although a pregnant woman makes insulin–it's just that it's lousier insulin. It simply doesn't react to receptors at the cellular level as well, meaning it takes more to do what insulin is supposed to do-–bring sugar into the cells for energy. Being overweight makes this worse. In pregnancy, when the insulin made just can't do the job anymore, we call this GDM (Gestational Diabetes Mellitus). Since the insulin isn't as powerful, a diet low in sugar and carbohydrates will mean less sugar in the system; less sugar in the system means less left over from the faulty insulin chemistry. This is what is meant by diet-controlled gestational diabetes and actually works fairly well with this condition.
Because diet does work well, very few women need insulin injections with GDM. Sometimes, as many as 1 out of 10 – 20 pregnancies will have GDM. It used to be a sneaky disease until we started screening all pregnancies with the O'Sullivan test (a 1-hour blood glucose determination after a sugar drink). Out of those with an abnormal test, a full 3-hour glucose tolerance test (a fasting, followed by 3 subsequent sugar determinations after a sugar drink) will then pick out the real GDM patients. GDM can have the same complication as "regular" diabetes — large babies — so it is important to manage it aggressively.
And then there are the "real" diabetics.
Diabetes Mellitus
This isn't making insulin that lackluster. This is actually not making enough insulin at all. When there isn't enough insulin to bring sugar from the blood stream (your blood stream is what you eat) into the tissue, it builds up in the blood stream, gunking up the works. This leads to damage of the blood supply to one's organs, resulting in kidney damage, eye damage, etc.
Women who are diabetic when they conceive are at twice the risk for abnormal fetuses, even when their blood sugars are well controlled. But even with this doubled risk, the chances of having a baby with congenital abnormalities is only 4 to 5 out of a hundred.
But diabetic women who have blood sugars that aren't well controlled have a staggering increase in their risk-–by about ten times what their normal risk would be for a well-controlled diabetic state. So the real deal-breaker here is good control before conception. Luckily, there's a test that can tell how well the diabetes has been controlled. It is called an HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1C) and measures how much sugar is "stuck" to a certain hemoglobin molecule. The beauty of this relationship between hemoglobin and glucose is that it's a firm interaction-–meaning that it reflects how well the diabetes has been in control for a long time, usually months.
So a normal HbA1c in the first trimester will be a very reassuring test for a pregnant diabetic patient. And the risk of congenital abnormalities and miscarriage is directly related to how abnormally high the HbA1c is. This makes it, besides the serum glucose measurement, the most important prenatal (and preconception!) test in diabetic pregnancy.
But even with good control preconception and during the first trimester, the two natural enemies, pregnancy and diabetes, begin to fight it out. The very thing that can cause that normal variation known as GDM can make insulin-dependent diabetes harder to manage, too, by driving up the insulin needs. This means that no "set" dosage of insulin can be established with expectations of the pregnancy sugar control to be on automatic pilot. It doesn't work that way, and pregnancy + diabetes is usually a continuing medical challenge always at red alert.
Large babies make for more difficult vaginal deliveries. Besides the risk of cephalopelvic dysproportion (baby's to big to fit out), and shoulder dystocia (head delivers but shoulders get stuck), there is also increased risk of placental abruption (premature separation). Since the C-section rate is higher in diabetic patients for all of the above reasons, it's important to know that Cesarean delivery is not the perfect answer to a pregnant diabetic's problems. Diabetic women don't heal well after surgery and their chances of infection are much greater.
In spite of all of these concerns, a woman whose sugars are well controlled can stack the deck in her favor, especially if she is evaluated preconception. But diabetes is a definite problem in pregnancy that requires diligence on the part of the obstetrician and strict compliance on the part of the patient.

The kids are growing and Nana's getting older. Then again so is Alex Cross (and the rest of us). In Patterson's 12th Cross novel, Alex makes another career move, hanging out his psychologist's shingle. But he can't sit still; a series of brutal rapes and murders puts Cross (teamed with former partner John Sampson) on the trail of a former hit man turned serial killer. Through a connection with his wife Marie's death, we learn more about Cross' past and about his wife. Another fast-paced, exciting book from James Patterson.

A matchup between a rookie candidate and a veteran lawmaker from a prominent political family wouldn't normally draw much attention.
But the state House race between Jose Javier Rodriguez and Alex Diaz de la Portilla is quickly becoming among this season's most watched.
The Democratic Party has pinned its hopes on newcomer Rodriguez to keep the Miami district in Democratic hands. And the results come Nov. 6 could be a bellwether for how Democrats perform across the state.
Rodriguez, a Harvard-educated lawyer, has raised more than $175,000, including $27,000 in in-kind contributions from the party. Florida Democrats have also bankrolled a flurry of campaign mailers touting Rodriguez and attacking Diaz de la Portilla.
"We've got a fresh-faced newcomer versus a Republican retread with a history of siding with special interests," Democratic Party spokeswoman Brannon Jordan said. "This race is in play and we're going to play hard."
Still, Rodriguez, 34, has an uphill climb.
Diaz de la Portilla is a savvy political strategist who served six years in the state House and 10 years in the state Senate. He hasn't raised as much campaign money as Rodriguez, but he has built-in name recognition and an established base of voters from his years in office. It doesn't hurt that his older brother, Miguel, is a state senator and his younger brother, Renier, is a Miami-Dade School Board member who was on the primary ballot in August.
Diaz de la Portilla, 48, said he wants the job because he was born and raised in the district.
"I'm not a guy who comes from some Ivy League school and then comes to Little Havana and pretends to represent," he said. "I know the community. I was born and raised there. I walked those streets. I played in those parks."
Only three other state House races are contested in Miami-Dade:
• Former community newspaper publisher Ross Hancock, a Democrat, is running against Republican Rep. Erik Fresen in District 114.
• Incumbent Rep. Michael Bileca, a Republican, faces Democratic newcomer Jeffrey Solomon, a chiropractor, in District 115.
• Democrat Ian Whitney and Republican Holly Raschein are battling to represent House District 120, an open seat that stretches from south Miami-Dade to Key West. Raschein was formerly the top aide to Democratic Rep. Ron Saunders, the lawmaker who last held the seat. Whitney is president of the Key West Innkeepers Association.
Diaz de la Portilla and Rodriguez are vying for the seat currently held by state Rep. Luis Garcia, a Democrat.
The recently redrawn district still includes portions of Little Havana, a longtime Republican stronghold. But it now includes Coconut Grove and parts of Coral Gables, neighborhoods where a Democratic candidate could have the edge.
Dario Moreno, a political consultant who has conducted polling for Diaz de la Portilla, predicts the outcome of the race will likely be tied to the presidential election.
"Mitt Romney's resurgence could play a big role in [state House] races," Moreno said, noting that the renewed enthusiasm among Republicans would likely drive more conservatives to the polls.
But Democrats aren't ready to concede the seat — especially if Rodriguez is able to galvanize young professionals who are both Cuban-American and liberal.
"There is a layer of the Cuban-American community that is more progressive on social issues," said Florida International University Professor Guillermo Grenier. "They are looking for a voice that can show the pluralism in the Cuban-American community."
Both Diaz de la Portilla and Rodriguez won in contested primaries. Diaz de la Portilla bested former state Rep. Gus Barreiro, while Rodriguez edged out real estate agent Alex Dominguez.
Diaz de la Portilla has a long history of public service that includes being named Senate majority leader. He is also known for running some of the region's most high-profile campaigns, including the bid that propelled Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez into office last year.
But the Republican candidate also carries baggage, including a messy divorce and allegations he tried to secure contracts for donors who contributed to his political committees. He has allies and enemies in Tallahassee; some members of the Miami-Dade Delegation fear he could derail state Rep. Jose Oliva's bid to become House speaker in 2018.
Diaz de la Portilla is running on his experience, political connections and track record. He points to the budget allocations he's won for Miami-Dade over the years: $28 million to clean up the Miami River, $7 million for local senior centers, $4 million for La Liga Contra el Cancer, the League Against Cancer.
"This district needs someone who has already been there," he said, "somebody who has actually made an impact along the way."
Rodriguez contends a fresh perspective is more valuable. "My opponent practically invented the business model of pandering to voters in Miami and then selling us out in Tallahassee," he said.
Rodriguez, who is unmarried, was born in North Carolina, but grew up in Miami-Dade. He graduated from Palmetto High School, Brown University and Harvard Law School, and served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Senegal.
He has owned his house in the Coral Way neighborhood for the past three years, property records show. Coincidentally, he lives just three blocks from the home Diaz de la Portilla purchased from his parents in 2000.
As a former attorney for Florida Legal Services, a nonprofit organization that provides legal help to the poor, Rodriguez says he is sensitive to issues affecting low-income communities. He has made promoting economic growth part of his platform, along with better funding education and creating fair standards for evaluating teachers.
Diaz de la Portilla also identified education as among his top policy priorities, but said he believes funding is adequate
Throughout the election season, Diaz de la Portilla's inner political strategist has become apparent. His campaign has been aggressively targeting voters via telephone, a strategy he perfected while running Gimenez's mayoral bid last year.
Rodriguez has been knocking on doors and collecting small contributions from individuals and local business owners.
No matter how the vote goes, it isn't likely to be the last word on either candidate. Diaz de la Portilla has considered running for U.S. Congress in the past.
At least one political veteran wouldn't be surprised if the state Democrats continue grooming Rodriguez.
"He has the potential to be a good leader one day," said Diaz de la Portilla. "But what we need now is a Republican who knows the district."

• Signature playoff moments: What else but the two Games 7s? LeBron was brilliant in the finale of the finals with 37 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, two steals and five three-pointers (equaling his second-highest total of the season). But don't forget his 32-point, eight-rebound gem in Game 7 of the Pacers series.
• Playoff averages: 25.9 points, 49.1 percent shooting, 8.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.8 steals.
• Contract status: Signed for next season ($19.067 million), with player options for 2014-15 ($20.59 million) and 2015-16 ($22.11 million).
• The last word: James endured a few rough shooting games in the Finals, but his overall playoff work was exemplary, especially in the three games when the Heat faced elimination. No player in NBA history has averaged more points in seventh games of playoff series, with James on a streak of four Game 7s in a row with at least 30 — one short of Elgin Baylor's record. James became the ninth player to win multiple finals MVP awards and the fifth to do it two years in a row.
• Signature playoff moments: Two deserve top billing: a 32-point, six-steal vintage Wade masterpiece in Game 4 of the Finals, followed by a terrific Game 7 effort: 23 points, 10 rebounds, two blocks, 11 for 21 shooting.
• Playoff averages: 15.9 points, 45.9 percent shooting, 4.8 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 1.7 steals, 1.0 block.
• Contract status: Signed for next season ($18.536 million), with player options for 2014-15 ($20.048 million) and 2015-16 ($21.56 million).
• The last word: Wade called these playoffs the most challenging of his career, largely because of a bone bruise on his right knee that sidelined him for one game and limited him in many others, and an injury sustained in the Finals that required his left knee to be drained the day before Game 7. At one point, he failed to reach 20 points in 12 consecutive games — a career-long drought — but ended the playoffs with four 20-point outbursts in his final eight games, including big nights in the two seventh games. Among all Heat and Spurs players, only James averaged more points in the finals than Wade's 19.6.
• Signature playoff moments: His 20-point, 19-rebound effort in a Game 3 win at Chicago in the second round, and his splendid Game 4 of the Finals (20 points, 13 rebounds).
• Playoff averages: 12.1 points, 45.8 percent shooting, 7.3 rebounds, 1.6 blocks.
• Contract status: Signed for next season ($19.067 million), with player options for 2014-15 ($20.59 million) and 2015-16 ($22.1 million).
• The last word: Bosh's playoff performance was a roller coaster, his offensive game experiencing highly unusual lulls as he tried to reconcile how often to attack the basket and how often to float on the perimeter. He didn't surpass 20 points in a single playoff game — after doing it 22 times in the regular season — didn't score in Game 7 of the Finals and scored in single digits in the final four games of the Indiana series. But Bosh produced four double-digit rebounding games in the Finals, blocked 36 shots in the playoffs (including two huge ones in the final minute in Game 6 against the Spurs), and played with more force in the Finals. After missing four three-point attempts in Game 1 against the Spurs, Bosh attempted just two the rest of the series.
• Signature playoff moment: His three-pointer to tie Game 6 with 5.2 seconds left in the fourth quarter not only was the most memorable shot of his career, but also likely the most significant in Heat history.
• Playoff averages: 10.2 points, 43 percent shooting overall, 40.6 percent on threes.
• Contract status: Has a $3.2 million player option for next season, with a June 29 deadline.
• The last word: Allen shot 13 for 46 in the first six games of the Indiana series and went scoreless in Game 7 of the Finals, missing all four of his shots. But the enduring memory of his postseason will be his Game 6 heroics. And don't forget he hit 3 of 5 three-point attempts in the Game 7 win against Indiana.
• Signature playoff moments: His 20-point performance in Game 6 of the Finals, followed by 14 points in Game 7.
• Playoff averages: 9.4 points, 41.5 percent shooting, 3.1 assists, 1.7 turnovers.
• Contract status: Heat has a $4 million team option on Chalmers for next season.
• The last word: Chalmers had more turnovers (18) than assists (15) in the Finals and was brutal in the games in San Antonio, but delivered big offensive nights in three Heat wins — including 19 points in Game 2. He made more three-pointers (13) than any other Heat player in the Finals.
• Signature playoff moments: Two 8-for-9 shooting nights that were crucial in Game 3 and Game 5 wins against Indiana.
• Playoff averages: 5.0 points, 59.3 percent shooting, 3.6 rebounds.
• Contract status: Due $4.34 million next season, with a $4.62 million player option for 2014-15.
• The last word: Despite a height deficit against Carlos Boozer, David West and Tim Duncan, Haslem held his own, with his defensive work especially sharp against Duncan. Haslem found the touch on his midrange jumper, delivering 16 points in one win against Indiana, and 17 in another. With Erik Spoelstra opting to play a smaller lineup, Haslem didn't play in Game 6 of the Finals — after starting since early December — and logged just 1:37 in Game 7.
• Signature playoff moment: Shooting 6 for 8 on three-point attempts and scoring 18 points (his Heat career playoff high) in Game 7 of the Finals.
• Playoff averages: 4.7 points, 29 percent shooting overall, 29.5 percent on three-pointers.
• Contract status: Due $3.27 million next season in the final year of his contract.
• The last word: Battier shot a career-high 43 percent from three-point range during the regular season, so his dreadful playoff slump — he missed 59 of his first 76 threes — was as puzzling as it was exasperating. But he snapped out of it in spectacular fashion, hitting 9 of 12 threes in the last two games of the Finals.
• Signature playoff moment: Scored nine points, making all three of his three-point attempts, in the Game 2 win against San Antonio.
• Playoff averages: 3.4 points, 46.7 percent shooting overall, 44.4 percent on three-pointers.
• Contract status: Due $6.2 million next season and $6.6 million in 2014-15. But the Heat might use the amnesty provision on Miller in July, which removes his salary from Miami's luxury tax obligations.
• The last word: Miller transformed from an out-of-the-rotation afterthought during the season to a starter in the final four games of the Finals. And though he went scoreless in three of those four games, he chipped in 15 rebounds, five assists, four steals and just one turnover in those games, and his eight points were a big help in Game 6.
• Signature playoff moment: Produced 16 points (on 7-for-7 shooting), five rebounds and three blocks in just 18 minutes in Game 1 of the Indiana series.
• Playoff averages: 6.4 points, 80.7 percent shooting, 3.8 rebounds, 1.1 blocks.
• Contract status: Unrestricted free agent.
• The last word: Andersen's energy off the bench and uncanny ability to finish in the basket area were indispensible assets. He closed 46 for 57 from the field — after making 18 in a row at one point — and was the only natural "big man" in a lineup that devastated the Spurs during second-half stampedes in Games 2 and 6. After not playing in Games 4 and 5 of the Finals — the result of Spoelstra deciding to go small — Andersen left his fingerprints on Games 6 and 7.
• Signature playoff moments: Two 18-point games in the Chicago series, marked by 7-for-7 shooting from three-point range.
• Playoff averages: 6.1 points, 48 percent shooting, 2.0 assists, 1.1 turnovers.
• Contract status: Due $1.19 million next season, with a $2.15 million team option for 2014-15. Heat also can keep him for 2015-16 by extending a $3.2 million qualifying offer.
• The last word: After erupting offensively early in the Bulls series, Cole's shooting leveled off; he missed 16 of 22 attempts against the Spurs, and he didn't play in the last two games of the Finals. But overall, the Heat was very pleased with his growth: He shot 17 of 32 on threes in the postseason, and he had an eight-game stretch — six against Indiana, two against San Antonio — with 15 assists and just one turnover. His on-the-ball defense was generally stout, though Tony Parker proved problematic.
• Signature playoff moment: Filling in for the suspended Andersen, Anthony had eight rebounds and three blocks in 29 minutes of the Game 6 loss at Indiana.
• Playoff averages: 0.4 points (3-for-10 shooting), 1.5 rebounds. Appeared in 14 games but logged more than eight minutes only once.
• Contract status: Due $3.8 million next season, with a $3.8 million player option for 2014-15.
• The last word: Supplanted by Andersen in the rotation, Anthony played just 71 playoff minutes, many in garbage time, after logging 575 and 329 the previous two postseasons.
• Signature playoff moment: None. Never played more than eight minutes in any game.
• Playoff averages: 1.5 points, 8-for-20 shooting.
• Contract status: Lewis said he will exercise his $1.399 million option for next season, the last year on his contract.
• The last word: Lewis was a seldom-used afterthought in the postseason, with Spoelstra instead opting to allot some of Battier's minutes to Miller.
• Signature playoff moment: None. Like Lewis, he never logged more than eight minutes in any game.
• Playoff averages: 1.0 point, 3-for-7 shooting.
• Contract status: Jones said he will exercise his $1.5 million player option for next season, the last year on his contract.
• The last word: There was simply no room in the rotation this year, but Jones could have a more meaningful role next season if Miller is amnestied, as many expect.
• Signature playoff moment: Gave an impassioned halftime speech to help shake the Heat out of its malaise in Game 5 of the Pacers series. "He pretty much started getting into us," Haslem said. "He threw a couple things."
• Playoff averages: Didn't play.
• Contract status: Unrestricted free agent.
• The last word: Wasn't added to the roster until March, spent nearly all of the playoffs in a suit, but still exited with his second ring in two years. Served as something of a coach-in-uniform, his voice commanding considerable respect in the locker room.
• Signature playoff moment: None.
• Playoff averages: Didn't play.
• Contract status: Non-guaranteed $789,000 deal for next season. Will collect $250,000 if he makes the opening-night roster and $500,000 if he's on the team on Dec. 15.
• The last word: An interesting ride for the Heat's 41st pick in the 2010 draft; he was cut by Miami in training camp, played a few weeks in the NBDL, spent two weeks with the Celtics around New Year's, then joined the Heat for good Jan. 9. His playing time will come in summer league.

Please share something Game of Thrones-related. — Rosie HBO has already foreshadowed the royal wedding between King Joffrey and Margaery Tyrell this season, but fear not: These nuptials will be far more civilized than last year's traumatic Red Wedding.

For a hospital that has been dominated by on-call room romps and various hookups, it should come as no surprise that the new rule barring superiors from dating their subordinates will cause quite a stir at Grey Sloan Memorial. We'll learn during Thursday's Grey's Anatomy that this is especially difficult for Alex (Justin Chambers) and Jo (Camilla Luddington), who, because they're not married, are technically no longer allowed to date.

After what feels like the longest hiatus ever, Grey's Anatomy will finally return with 12 straight episodes beginning Thursday (9/8c, ABC) until the show's season finale in May.
When last we left the doctors of Grey Sloan Memorial, Jackson interrupted April's wedding to Matthew to declare his love for her, much to the shock and dismay of Stephanie and pretty much everyone else in attendance. Meanwhile, back at the hospital, Shane boldly and stupidly decided to be a hot shot and take the lead on an emergency surgery to fix the heart of Alex's father, which did not go well. So, what's next? TVGuide.com hit the set to get the scoop on each of the docs:

Oh, Grey's Anatomy, you had me at hello... and you lost me at Bailey's OCD.
I've stuck with the show that made Shonda Rhimes a household name through Izzie's (Katherine Heigl) ghost sex, the Alex/Ava saga, "Intern Fight Club," and even that god-awful musical episode. When people ask me why I'm still watching Grey's, currently limping through its 10th season, my response has always been: "I'm going down with that ship." But Season 10 has me on the verge of jumping overboard. Here are six reasons why I'm ready to give up on Grey's:
While Grey's Anatomy celebrates 200 episodes with a fundraising gala to help save Grey Sloan Memorial, Thursday's episode (9/8c, ABC) will be far from a party for the characters. In particular, Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) will get quite a shock when his father (Dexter's James Remar) resurfaces after 20 years.

Suckerfish Dropdowns
128 Reader CommentsBack to the Article
I have created a simple behavior (.htc script) for IE5+ browsers to emulate :hover sub-classes with help of normal classes.
And creted an example for drop-down lists.
You can find it here:
Alrighty. I stumbled across this page last night, and I am happier. I've been looking for an 'easy' way to do just what this script does.
But, in trying to make NS7.1, IE6, Opera7.23 happy, I am struggling. I'm in the process of re-laying out my site and need to at least get the top2.htm file right so I can include it across the board. That might be wise, but it's a work in progress.
Can someone tell me why my menu is centered in NS, but not Opera or IE? I think it's a margin issue…
this be the BSS beast that keeps growing..
and this is the page:
as you can see, the pic is centered. the rest ain't (outside of NS7). I am… perplexed.
thanks folks
Sean and Dante,
I guess giving out advice is easy from your lofty position. I mean, inventing a browser with no refresh, that doesn't show you what page you are on and that can't even spell the month correctly – that's pretty intense stuff.
I was working on a DHTML menu when discover this CSS Dropdown and love it. But there's some things that I wish to know (all about graphical interface):
1. How to implement a css rollover for the first list and a different rollover for the second one. (I have one working great in Mozilla Firebird but doesn't work in IE6 and Opera 7).
2. Is it possible to use this CSS Dropdown menu to make something like the http://www.mediatemple.net/ navigation?
Thanks in advance.
Noemi, thanks for your tip on Z index! I thought it could be done, just didn't remember the name for it. :)
Now for my next confusion: can these be more than 3 menus/links/divs wide? I noticed the examples using this are just three. Is this because the divs/LIs are float left, none, and right? Could I make more menus by using a table first then put each div/LI in a td and not use the float?
..something like that?
I was wondering if anyone tried pre-caching the background image for the drop down menu, as you would for javascript rollovers.
It would appear that IE is not caching the image, obviously. It is interesting that changing the setting for "check for new versions of cached pages" to anything but "every visit to page" corrects the situation.
It never was necessary for Javascript rollovers, where you would change the source of the image, once the image was downloaded, it remained.
Let me add my congratulations on this clean solution that works so well.
With your UL/LI drop down menu in place, is there a way to structure things so that unordered lists in the text below these menus can be presented in its default (or similar to default) format?
I tried two different approaches to this. Maybe you will have better luck than I did.
First was to give a class (or id) to all the lists used in the menus, with the thought that lists elsewhere in the site wouldn't inherit the styles for the menus that way. But I didn't find a way to do that and keep the menus functioning.
Second was make a standard list class with basics defined, so that other lists on the site would use that class and look as defined. This one didn't work for me, as my lists were coming from a content editable area, and so users wouldn't know to add the style.
Perhaps those will give you some ideas. Good luck.
A Colleague saw this script on this site ages
ago and sent it to me so that i could try and turn this into a vertical navigation but yet again it's got bugs! as it doesn't work properly in IE6 yet it does in all the other browsers that i have tried (can anybody help with this one!
<title>Test CSS Vertical Navigation</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" c charset=iso-8859-1">
startList = function() {
if (document.all&&document;.getElementById) {
navRoot = document.getElementById("nav");
for (i=0; i<navRoot.childNodes.length; i++) {
node = navRoot.childNodes;
if (node.nodeName=="LI") {
node. {
this.className+=" over";
node. {
this.className=this.className.replace(" over", "");
');
Fixed a couple of problems for you and got it to validate. I got it to work as (I think) you intended in MSIE 6.0, Netscape 7.1, Opera 7.23, Mozilla/Firebird 0.7, K-Meleon 0.8.2. The main to the css changes were:
li {Clear: left;
float: left;
clear: none;
float: none;
li > ul {
top: auto;}
See: http://whistlingduck.wrellis.com/menu4.html
I am still having issues with my site on Mac browsers. Unfortunately I do not have easy access to a Mac so turnaround is slow. If anyone has any advice I would sure appreciate it.
-William Ellis
URL for aforementioned site is:
Sorry about that…
dont forget the doctype:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
i was using Transitional and it wouldn't work in Mac/IE. once i changed to strict, everything worked great.
I'm working on a website for school and my teacher refuses to give up frames. He wants a drop-down menu in a typical side-bar fashion. After trying this example, my drop-downs go outside of the frame so they aren't much good.
I was looking at two solutions, and was wondering if anybody here could help me with either of them.
Solution 1: Code the drop-downs in such a way so that the drop-downs push the lower options out of the way, in the same column. Example(hope this works):
Heading 1
Heading 2
Heading 3
And when mouse hovers on Heading 2, you get:
Heading 1
Heading 2
Option 1
Option 2
Heading 3
You get the idea, right?
Solution 2 (may be easier?): His main objections to tables instead of frames is that it's easier to maintain one menu file. So, I was wondering if it would be possible to add in a special HREF that would embed the code for the menu into the table, without having to copy it again. I hope you can understand what I mean…
Thanks for the help, and I'm finding this to be a great site for information.
Nice tutorial.
Janos – awesome :)

Delicious teas for sale here! We've gotten fresh stock in, ready for our spring guests - and, not to worry, we do mail-order too.
Green chai is an exotic new offering - not just the usual chai spices, but with citrus, vanilla and rose petals as well. It's making a hit.
White tea is now available here in loose leaf, and what big, beautiful leaves they are. Our new variety is Cassis, delicately fruity and floral.
Pu Ehr bird's nests are one of two new offerings in black tea. A specialty of Yunnan province, China (long our favorite source of black tea), this is a post-fermented tea product, Little compressed cakes, individually wrapped, need to be broken up before brewing. They can be used for multiple infusions. Pu Ehr is known for being full-bodied and earthy, and it does come in different styles, but ours is very smooth, not at all bitter. This is a good tea with milk and sugar.
On the delicate side, we have a house blend of a second-flush Darjeeling. Very elegant!
Bed and breakfast guests can have a fresh mug or pot of any variety, any time. If you can't get here, see our online store. The new stock will be online mid-March: order before March 15 to get last year's prices on winter stock. We're sure tea lovers will be delighted with these products, and we're converting non-tea-drinkers as well - there's surely a flavor to suit any taste.

Hi everyone! My name is Anjeanette and I blog at byAnjeanette.blogspot.com. I am delighted to be sharing my first Moda Bake Shop project with you. I have been following Moda Bake Shop since its first recipe, and have been hooked on pre-cuts ever since. I designed a fun quilt with columns of linked Octagons. The background is a secondary pattern with the same linked octagons in columns. It is super easy to whip up with your favorite Layer Cake and some yardage. How lucky for me that I got to play with Fig Tree Quilts new Avalon line. This quilt would look awesome in a more bold line too.
* It is important to have a consistent 1/4" seam allowance.
1. From the Layer Cake select 25 squares and cut to 9.5" X 9.5" squares
2. I took out all my blue blocks from the Avalon Layer Cake and cut into (20) 3.5" X 3.5" squares. I had to use the scraps to piece a few of these together. I just chose the fabric with the smallest scale so it wasn't too noticeable.
(16) 12.5" X 3.5" rectangles
(140) 3.5" X 3.5" squares
(4) 9.5" X 3.5" rectangles
7. Pin the set in sashing piece to the snowball block and sew.
12. Carefully match seams and sew blocks into rows. Carefully matching seams again, sew rows together.
13. Sew two border strips (WOF X 3.5") together. Do this for all four sides. Sew to your quilt top and bottom. Press and trim to the edge of the quilt. Sew side border on. Press and trim to the edge of quilt.
14. Cut strips of 2 1/2" X WOF and piece together for binding.

A family of four in Egypt is accused of killing an aged woman and a young girl with the intention of stealing gold jewelry.
The suspects were arrested when a 75-year-old woman was reported missing by her son in Luxor governorate of Egypt.
Police officials found the body dumped in a canal in Al Baghdadi village. As cops were investigating the case, they were alerted of a seven-year-old-girl's body abandoned in the same canal, reported Al Youm Al Sabea'a.
Officials found similarities in the method of crime in both cases, and this led them to the suspects.
Investigating officers followed clues and confronted a family of four. A mother, 47; her daughter, 27; her son, 14; and her step-son, AM, 33, – who has a criminal record.
They admitted to killing both the victims for their gold ear rings. They confessed that they tied the aged woman by tying her with a rope first and then strangulating her to death. AM allegedly sold the gold ear rings and shared $200 among the four.
