If you are of a certain age and tuned to WGST this morning, only to hear an ESPN announcer talk about sports – in Spanish, a small part of you died.
In the 1980s and for several years beyond, WGST was one of the most influential news outlets in Atlanta, with a large staff of reporters that included Denis O'Hayer (now with WABE), Bill Edge (now a spokesman for the state Public Service Commission) and Tammy Lloyd.
Where have you gone, Tammy?
Me? In the '60s and '70s, before I left for UGA, my college football team was Georgia Tech. Which meant Saturdays with Al Ciraldo and WGST. (Musically, the station was less than revolutionary — in an age of rock, "The Lettermen" was a programming favorite.)
Many of you talk-radio enthusiasts have posited that WGST's collapse is a result of machinations by Clear Channel owner Bain Capital and – by inference – the GOP presidential nominee.
Not so, explains Eric Seidel.
In a note making the rounds in Atlanta and elsewhere, the former WGST station manager explains what happened:
I've been getting questions about the latest iteration of WGST. If you're not in Atlanta, WGST is a station owned and operated by Clear Channel.
It's primarily an AM station (it does have a weak FM simulcast), although it was, at one time, a very competitive AM/FM combination. That specific FM simulcast was removed in 1999, or so.
I was station manager there for 10½ years, leaving to start my own business in 1997.
Its format was converted last week from newstalk to ESPN's Spanish language, all-sports network.
[I]f you are not familiar with WGST, in the late 80s and much of the 90s, it was a thriving newstalk station with a significant amount of influence in the metro Atlanta market. Playing to the realities of the market, WGST targeted the large conservative-listening audience, running the Rush Limbaugh syndicated show. And it was Sean Hannity's second radio job—strictly as a locally-originated host—before he went national, first with Fox News Channel and his own syndicated radio show, based in NYC.
I've seen some statements on Facebook bemoaning the fact that Clear Channel is now owned by Bain Capital, and that's the reason for WGST's demise.
Wrong! Bain is the private owner of Clear Channel. But WGST's demise started years ago, before even Clear Channel bought the station. The owner before CC was Jacor Communications, based in Cincinnati. For me, working with and for Jacor was a great experience.
But Jacor was one of the original consolidators when Federal law changed and radio groups could harvest huge numbers of radio stations. Once that happened, the [publicly held] broadcasting companies became much larger, and much more beholden to Wall Street. Bean counters took on greater importance and programming, especially at the local level, was reduced in importance in direct proportion to the importance of finance departments.
Certainly, before consolidation, we believed in making a profit, but creative, intelligent risk-taking programming was behind the wheel of our bus. Jacor encouraged its programmers being on the edge and leading the way for the industry. We were constantly told that programming would lead the way and, done well, sales would follow. It was an unusual, unique attitude, but it worked.
The ebb and flow of the economy forced us to make cuts as necessary over the years, of course, but the programming always was paramount and protected.
And then came the Internet and all the various technological strides that were swept in with it. Syndication took wing. With music formats radio groups could have one announcer do the voice tracks for shows on any number of stations.
News and newstalk formats are the most expensive formats for the simple reason that they are people-intensive. Syndication made sense to meet cost efficiencies. News departments were either reduced in size or dismantled.
Today, a major market station in a radio group often does the local news for stations the group owns in other markets, typically within the geographical region. For instance, Clear Channel's Tampa newstalk station has been doing newscasts for a number of their stations in other Florida markets. Those other stations might have one or two reporters who feed stories into Tampa that are then played in the smaller station's "local" newscast.
Further, AM radio has been losing audience for years. Nationally, AM accounts for about 18-20% of the listening audience, and most of those listeners are beyond desirable demographics for advertisers. You may have noticed that many AM stations today, especially with news and newstalk (even sportstalk) formats are gravitating to FM. It only makes sense; that's where most of the audience is, especially the demographically attractive listeners.
This is some of what led to WGST's eventual surrender. But there are other reasons, as well. Losing its first FM frequency simulcast was a big blow. WGST's AM signal, especially at night and in the first hours of morning drive, is very limited. Our FM simulcast (at 105.7) gave us significant coverage in the northern suburbs where much of our desired audience resided. The FM addition was a big boost to our audience. But, Clear Channel decided to yank that signal and make it a music station.
The Atlanta Braves were very important to us, too. We got the rights to the Braves just as their 14-year run in the post season was getting started. But, we lost the Braves after the 1994 season and that definitely was a hit to listenership.
However, our news and talk lineups still were solid. We had a superlative news staff that was aggressive, and clearly separate from our talk programming, as it should've been. And, we had solid talk talent, too. But panic set in after the Braves left us. And the result was, looking back, the beginning of the end.
WGST kept changing in big, and even small, ways and newstalk stations cannot survive like that. They are habit and appointment listening stations. Newstalk listeners feel very possessive of their stations.
They feel like the station is part of their family, and they do not like a lot of change. Constant change creates churn. That, coupled with no FM simulcast, were a prescription for disaster. Plus, the market has a fair amount of newstalk competition, and the big dog is WSB Radio, with a big signal, an FM simulcast, and deep pockets.
A relatively recent addition of a much weaker FM simulcast (92.3) to WGST (640 AM) was way too little, and way too late.
The signal weaknesses and constant change aren't good for advertisers, either. And, yes, profit is important, even if Bain Capital were not involved.
So, years of questionable programming decisions played a major role in leading WGST to where it is today. Looking back, WGST was not the only victim of poor programming decisions. At one time, Clear Channel owned three great brands in Atlanta: WGST (a/k/a "The News Monster), WPCH (Peach) and WKLS (96 Rock). All three have been blown up.
In other words, don't blame Mitt Romney. You can reach Seidel, who now operates a media training firm, by clicking here.

I read it, but I still don't believe it! Jim actually has a piece which is neither pro-Democrat nor anti-Romney. While this column does not in any way praise Romney via Bain Capital, it is a "call off the dogs" piece, and I do appreciate Jim providing this column to his readers.
Thanks again, Jim.

Forrest Sawyer is another alum. I remember listening to an hour long newscast at 6pm in the late 70s on the way home from school. Haven't listened since it became mostly talk and hardly any news.
It seems the more companies strive for profits, the less the consumer is served.
Maybe Spanish speaking sports fans are happy

There is a pent up demand for either a balance or a progressive format. The right wing propaganda is too toxic. I am considering satellite radio to get a better perspective on what is going on.

"There is a pent up demand for either a balance or a progressive format."
Don't kid yourself; if that format was profitable, radio stations would have jumped on it years ago. For you lefties, just tune in your local PBS radio station. We conservatives have to help fund via our tax dollars your proggie views.

Holy cow…this is the guy who handed Boortz and Clark Howard to WSB on a silver platter! Worst and dumbest moves in the history of Atlanta radio. THAT was the beginning of the end for the station…nothing else.

@ CB " I am considering satellite radio to get a better perspective on what is going on."
I have had satellite Radio for the last 4 years, to be honest I could not tell you if the am/fm side of the radio works. For perspective you have music from the 40's to now. It has news (left/right, up/down). Just to name a few….oh sports out da …ya know.I could be wrong a Clark Howard station too. Best of all no commercials.
October 1st, 2012

I made the switch from rock to talk with WGST about 20 years ago. RIP
October 1st, 2012
9:40 pm
I know this dates me but what the hell. I remember when WGST was called Quixie and competed for a "favorable demographic" head to head with WISBIE. This was in the sixties. When I moved back to Atlanta after years of college and post graduate education, the A.M. dial had become all talk which was just fine with me. GST had a great lineup. I enjoyed Kim Peterson and, as noted above, Sean Hannity. To hear this iconic station become a Spanish station is for lack of a better term, a metaphor for America. We push 1 for English and deuce for Spanish. We are indeed a different world and a different country. I don't know if I like it. By the way, where can I find Mark Levin now?
October 1st, 2012
10:29 pm
I don't think I will be attending any training that Eric Seidel puts on. This is an incoherent load of you know what. I thought the buck stops with the owner. If Bain is the owner of Clear Channel why doesn't the rule apply? WGST was the victim of some of the worst programming decisions in the history of radio. It was almost as if someone was trying to run it into the ground. It is now what it deserves to be. And, if it is an example of Bain – Clear Channel management what is the problem with saying so.
October 1st, 2012
10:33 pm
Clear Channel is owned by Bain and has become a Spanish language and sports station just as Romney is trying to win Latio votes? Smells fishy.
October 1st, 2012
10:36 pm
Strange that WGST would choose the Latino market as the Georgia GOP has outlawed most of the Latino workers from the state. A lot of Legal folks left with the illegals. Hows those rotton crops working out natie.
romney+bain= Bad for the American economy. Clear Channel is like smitty FLIP FLOP CRASH.

Once they were relevant.
Then they became virulent.
Good riddance.

October 1st, 2012
11:10 pm
@Kris "paranoia runs deep, into your life it will creep….." Let's see,I've got it: Romney worked with Bain several years ago, so his good buddies, a few weeks before the PRESIDENTIAL election, decide to change a relatively small radio station in GEORGIA to a spanish – speaking sports format to increase the spanish votes for romney. Is that it? Is that what your public school education allows you to conjure up? Is this the level of intellectual strength in the big A, well bust my britches, Id, the only thing fishy smelling is your cerebrum rotting….. What an idiotic thought(?) process. Your shift starts in a few minutes in the Ponce Krispy Kreme, get a move on!

When "the Kimmer's" and his sidekick's aggravated battery put me out of work for a year after the 2005 Veterans Day parade, waylaying me on the sidewalk in front of White Columns abetted by two Bush cousins in Atlanta's and Cobb County's police departments, for telling the truth that "BUSH DID 9/11," working to get them fired writing a letter to the CEO of the company who employed them was the least I could do to in obedience to The Oath I swore on my life to defend Our Nation against "enemies, domestic."

Right wing talk radio's stock will take a substantial hit after this year's elections – might just as well convert them to Spanish, or whatever…
Chance of Winning if Election held today (Now-cast)
Obama – 97.8%
Romney – 2.2%
"Nate Silver's November 2008 presidential election predictions—he correctly predicted the winner of 49 of the 50 states. The only state he missed was Indiana, which went for Barack Obama by 1%. He also correctly predicted the winner of all 35 Senate races that year."
October 2nd, 2012
7:57 am
I might posit to the contrary.
Re-election of the President will definitely be good for the Country, however those intent on self-deluding will still need sources for their distorted notion of 'news'.
Therefore, the purveyors of disinformation will still have the lost sheep to depend on they have had for three decades.
The rest of us should prevent ourselves from contributing to the continued sadness, DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM THE ADVERTISERS.

Too much trash on WSB these days.
Boortz, Cain, Hannity, Erikson, and who knows else. The latest addition ol Limbaugh seals the deal. There must be a huge market of insecure people out there that have to be reinforced by right wing shrill artists.
I had rather listen to NPR.
October 2nd, 2012
9:17 am
I thought when i heard WSB had Rush, i thought it was talking about the band.
Of course , i was wrong.
They make more sense than he does. Why would they be on a station with Hannity ?
Boortz, Limbaugh, Hannity………….. I hope this doesnt bleed into their t.v. news operations.

KFC to unleash the Double Down sandwich, we celebrate by cracking the code »
Over at The Consumerist, they've been following KFC's new (and revolting) Double Down sandwich. In case you're new to the story, the Double Down is a bacon and cheese sandwich, with two slabs of fried chicken replacing the bread, and a mystery yellow substance they're calling "The Colonel's Sauce" (a name that implies more intimacy with the Colonel than, we hope, is actually involved). After months of rumors and marketing teasers, the Double Down is finally real, with a scheduled release date of Monday, Apr. 12 at a KFC near you.
As vegans, we're of course bound by blood oath to be outraged by meat surrounded by meat and drizzled in dairy, especially when mass-produced by a megacorp dedicated to poisoning as many people worldwide as possible. But sometimes something is just too ridiculous to hate, and like a game of culinary marry-fuck-kill, we saw the Double Down and chose "fuck." So with that, I present:
It's actually good! And by "good" I mean "not good." Or a word that means a mix of good and not-good, where "not good" describes how you feel after downing this fistful of instant regret. Here's how you can make your own and share my suffering. You know you want one.
First thing's first. Start by getting your kitchen stocked with vegan substitutes.
- Gardein Lightly Seasoned Chick'n Scallopini
- Lightlife Smart Bacon
- Follow Your Heart Vegenaise
- Energ-G Egg Replacer
- Earth Balance Natural Shortening
- Follow Your Heart Monterey Jack
You can replace the shortening with canola oil or even Crisco, if you feel like taking your life into your hands. Before doing anything else, I fried up about six pieces of Smart Bacon, and thinly sliced the Follow Your Heart Monterey Jack using a mandolin. If you don't have a mandolin, a cheese slicer will do the trick, or a sharp kitchen knife if you're really patient. You should also thaw out the Gardein patties, which are usually kept frozen.
The Colonel's Sauce
No one has any idea what's in this stuff, so I basically went for "yellow".
- 4 Tbsp Vegenaise
- 1 tsp mustard
- 1 tsp agave nectar
- 1 tsp turmeric
Mix it up until it looks yellow. Adjust as needed.
KFC's 11 Secret Herbs and Spices
The actual recipe is a closely guarded secret, but this is close enough. I adapted the recipe from KFCChickenRecipe.com with vegan substitutes where needed.
- 1 Tbsp sage
- 1 tsp ginger root
- 1 Tbsp rosemary
- 1 Tbsp oregano
- 1 tsp marjoram
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp chili powder or cayenne
- 1½ tsp thyme
- 2 Tbsp garlic salt, or mix 1 Tbsp salt + 1 Tbsp garlic granules
- 2 Tbsp onion salt, or mix 1 Tbsp salt + 1 Tbsp onion granules
- 3 Tbsp dried parsley
- 3 Tbsp brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp powdered vegetable bullion from Rapunzel, or any vegan "chicken-flavored" bullion.
- 1 pack of McCormick Thick & Zesty Spaghetti Sauce Mix (available at Safeway), or 1 packet of any vegan tomato powdered instant soup.
Grind into a fine powder using a food processor or blender, and set aside.
Making the batter and deep-frying it all up
- 3 Tbsp Ener-G egg replacer
- 4 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp canola oil
- ½ cup unsweetened, plain soy milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
In a mixing bowl, beat together the egg replacer, water, canola oil, and soy milk. This is your "eggs and milk" batter.
Now is a good time to get your deep-frying apparatus into gear. If you own a deep fryer, you know what you're doing here. For everyone else: melt the whole box of Earth Balance shortening in a wok or cast-iron pan on medium heat. Top it up with canola oil if the pool of oil isn't deep enough.
Next, thoroughly mix together the flour with the "secret" herb and spice mix that you made earlier. Spread out the flour mix onto a long sheet of baking paper.
You basically want to coat the living hell out of the Gardein patties, then deep fry them until your kitchen smells like KFC. So: take a patty, dip it in the batter, then roll it in the flour/spices until it's completely coated. Then take the same patty and repeat; you want to coat the coating.
Finally, drop in your patty and deep-fry it for a few minutes, until golden brown. You can test out your oil beforehand with a small glob of batter and flour. You really don't want to cook them for too long!
Putting it all together then nomming the shit out of that
Now you're ready to assemble your Vegan Double Down: two slabs of fried fake chicken, stuffed with fake bacon, fake cheese, and fake "Colonel's Sauce". Make it look pretty.
You will eat about half of this before realizing what a mistake it's been. But until that moment, it will taste like sweet, deep-fried heaven.

Over the years, SAP has transformed from being just an application vendor to a software provider by enhancing its portfolio. The recently announced product suites give further confidence on its future growth trajectory.
- SAP has seen remarkable growth in its key innovation area i.e. SAP HANA. HANA had a great last quarter, with around $250 million of software revenue taking the total to $510 million for 2012. In January 2013, the company launched its ERP business package on HANA, which was about a year ahead of analysts' anticipation. This move by the company, takes it one step further in its game-changing technology, HANA, which commands strong customer interest. I believe this will drive a new phase of investment in applications at its existing customers, as in 2012 most of the HANA deals were from the existing SAP customers. As per the company's guidance, HANA revenue is expected to reach around $910 million in 2013.
- If HANA was the growth driver for the last two years, its cloud business will be the same for its future. The company is on track with its 2015's target of $2.6 billion of cloud revenue. SAP's acquisition of SuccessFactors and Ariba in the last two years has made it a leading player in the cloud market, with four times more users than the nearest competitor. With this huge base of customers, the company is aiming at about $1.3 billion of cloud revenue in 2013.
The competition – who wins the race?
SAP recently released 'SAP 360 Customer' to enhance its CRM (customer relationship management) solutions. This is a bundle of different technologies, namely social, cloud, mobile, and big data. With this move, SAP is trying to be different from other cloud vendors such as Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) and Oracle (NYSE: ORCL).
These three companies are the big players in the cloud-based solutions related to CRM and ERP (enterprise resource planning). Initially, these companies were on different levels of the processes, but over the time, they have started meddling in each other's core territory. Consequently, all the three are currently focused on cloud based solutions as their biggest opportunity.
CRM is one of the most advanced applications which is adopted in the cloud, and Salesforce.com has already established its presence in this market. SAP's latest offering, SAP 360, will directly compete with Salesforce.com. This time, SAP is trying to couple its cloud offering with in-memory analytics platform HANA. This will help companies run CRM on HANA's in-memory platform, which will lead to improved productivity. With this initiative SAP should boost its market share in the cloud-based CRM market.
I feel both Oracle and SAP have an added advantage over Salesforce.com with their strong client base to support short-term growth. Cross-selling is one of the major factors behind their growth, as it is easier for the customers to move within. On the contrary, Salesforce.com has the best opportunity among small and mid-size companies, which are looking for solutions at reasonable costs. Overall, both SAP and Oracle hold the top spots in the market, but the gap is closing swiftly with new and small players moving in.
The stock's opportunity
Over the last few months, SAP has been quite volatile. Its product strategy is strong, and the success of its various products is the end result of its long-term strategic decisions. Moreover, the newly launched products and solutions open a much wider opportunity for the company to cash in. I believe, with these announcements, the stock will gain some stability based on the future revenue generation prospects. This stock is a safe bet for me from a long-term perspective.

Anti-Bullying Bill in Louisiana Falls Short
May 20, 2011 by Karin Quimby
This week the Louisiana House of Representatives voted against HB 112, which would have established a minimum standard for public school anti-bullying policies and prohibited the harassment, intimidation and bullying of a student by another student in public elementary and secondary schools. HRC members and supporters in Louisiana joined those from the Forum for Equality and other advocates who want to keep students safe in school to successfully pass the bill out of committee. Unfortunately, the conservatives in the house voted down the final bill. You can find out how Louisiana representatives voted here. HRC will continue to work with Forum for Equality and other advocates to help ensure the bill is reintroduced next year.Continue Reading ►

When Dirty Talk With Your Lover is Over the Top…
When you're in the midst of passion, anything can come out of your mouth. If you and your partner are into dirty talk, you might hear fantasies and desires that surprise or even shock you. How do you handle a dirty talk scenario that makes you wildly uncomfortable?
When the passion is over and your mind is clear, think about what was said. Why did it make you so uncomfortable? Did it bring to mind a bad memory? Did it make you wonder what your partner really wanted to be doing in bed at that moment? Did his desires make you feel bad about yourself? Whatever the reason, pinpoint it and write it down. Putting it on paper in black and white will help you work through the details of why you feel the way you do.
Consider how you will bring it up with your lover. If this is something that you feel you need to discuss, plan your approach. Make sure you present your concerns in a loving, non-judgmental way. If you are accusing at all, your partner will likely retreat into a self-conscious shell, and won't bother telling you any more of those fantasies. That is a breakdown in communication, and that is not good!
Once you've chosen a way to approach the subject, do it when you are both relaxed and open to discussion. Don't attempt to start the talk immediately after you've had sex – talk about killing the afterglow! Don't do it when you are busy with other things, or when stress seems to have taken over your day. Approach your partner at a time when you know he will be open to what you have to say. Allow plenty of time for the discussion.
Keep in mind that your partner might not think anything is bothering you. His dirty talk could well have been completely spur of the moment, and he might not even remember what he said! If it was just something thrown out in the heat of the moment when he was experimenting with a few fantasies, you can chalk it up to nothing more than that and move on. If he admits the scenario he suggested is one that he wants to try, however, you've opened the door for discussing it.
Always be loving toward your partner as you discuss those fantasies. Remember that it took a lot of trust to get to this point, and the dirty talk between the two of you is so much hotter for it. You aren't the only one who has heard things that might be shocking – consider that you might have dropped a few stunners along the way, and your lover has accepted them. Doesn't he deserve the same consideration from you?
Finally, remember – the hottest dirty talk just might involve things you would never really do if the opportunity arose. Keep it all in perspective, and remember that your partner is the one in bed with you – the one who is focusing all his attention and dirty talk skills on you. You lucky little vixen!

Major shocker on this week's episode of "The Walking Dead" they still haven't located Sophia.
This whole search for Sophia thing is turning into a real doozie of a MacGuffin.
At least Shane is acknowledging that this mission is really dragging on, going so far as to equate it to saving a cat from a tree.
If Shane had it his way, they'd just leave her for dead. Of course, Shane's only concern is protecting Rick's wife Lori, and their son Carl at any cost. That's kind of weird, and Lori tells him as much, saying: "My son and I are not your problem anymore, or your excuse."
Oh snap!
So Shane's starting to play the Darth Vader role, and Rick — who isn't giving up on the Sophia hunt — is like Obi-Wan Kenobi. That means that Carl is going to be like Luke Skywalker when he gets a little older and finds a lightsaber.
I think this is really going to come to a head as Shane starts to get more and more protective of Lori and Carl. First off, Rick's going to be like, "Hey man, you need to back up off of my family brah, I got this." And then Shane is going to be like, "Listen pal, if you can't protect them, I will." And then Rick is going to be like "Protect this!" and dragon punch him and it will be on like Mo Vaughn.
Meanwhile, Hershel continues to be a rude host and make everyone feel uncomfortable for hanging out on his farm, even though all they're doing is sleeping in pup tents out in the yard. Sheesh, that farmer who let all those hippies have Woodstock at his house was much cooler than Hershel.
They even make him dinner, and he's like, "Hey, who authorized this? I didn't know anything about this." Hey Hershel, just eat your ham and shut up. What are you anyway, the fun police?
I can see things going bad for Hershel if he keeps this up. If Shane sees Hershel as a threat to Lori and Carl's wellbeing — booting them off of the farm where they are safe — Hershel might have an accident in his future.
In romance news, Maggie and Glenn's on-again, off-again relationship seems to be on again. Their booty call in this episode was spoiled when Glenn found a gaggle of zombies hanging out in the barn, foiling his plans to "do it in a hayloft."
What the heck does Hershel have all of those zombies penned up in the barn for anyway? Were they his old drinking buddies and he just can't bear to put them down? Is he doing sadistic experiments on them? Does he just like to get his rocks off by going out there at night and pelting them with rocks? If he was smart, he'd rig up some sort of wheel mechanism that they could turn to generate electricity to power the whole farm instead of dumping all that gasoline in that banged up old generator. Now that's a capital idea!
So last week's episode teased that Merle would be returning, but in fact he's only back as a vision to Daryl, spurring him up a hill. Daryl has a rough go of it this week, falling off of his hoss down a hill, impaling himself on one of his arrows, and being shot in the head by Andrea (it only grazed him). Who does Andrea think she is anyway, Otis? (Remember, he accidentally shot little Carl).
On a side-note, the episode began with a flashback of everyone trying to drive into Atlanta and getting into a huge traffic jam. It reminded me of that R.E.M. video. We see that A-hole Ed again. What a jerk that guy was. I sure don't miss him. Then there was a pretty cool shot of them watching choppers rain napalm death all over Atlanta! It was a pretty heavy scene, but you could make some good jokes about it, like "Hey I know that they call it Hotlanta, but this is ridiculous!" or "I haven't seen Atlanta burning this bad since "Gone with the Wind"!"
By the way, they didn't actually find a chupacabra in this episode, unfortunately. Oh, and a chupacabra is like a little dog thing with giant, sharp teeth. It isn't a real animal, it's like bigfoot or unicorns or penguins.
Most bawdy conversation
Shane and Rick, strolling through the woods, talking about their respective high school sexploits. Shane gets confused about the difference between the words protégé and prodigy, and Rick is embarassed when Shane teases him for not knowing what a home run was in sexual parlance. Shane makes some crude sound effects imitating sexual intercourse and brags about banging Mrs. Kelly, the 30-year old girls volleyball coach.
Manliest Manly Man
Daryl Dixon. He fell off of a hoss, impaled himself on an arrow, fell down a hill twice, climbed it twice, shot a squirrel with an arrow, butterflied the squirrel with his knife, ate the squirrel and got blood all over his face, pulled out the arrow, shot a zombie with it, smashed another zombies face to smithereens with a log, made a necklace out of zombie ears and uttered the phrase "I ain't nobody's bitch!"
Eat that Bear Grylls!

Sharing information domestically and internationally to fight terrorists and transnational criminals doesn't have to shred privacy and civil liberties protections, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano told the American Bar Association (ABA) Standing Committee on Law and National Security during a speech today.
"We have to work at home and abroad to protect our common interests," Napolitano said. "These include our security interests, but also our privacy interests. These two certainly are not separate and distinct; they are part of the same foundation that allows modern societies to function."
One of DHS' main strategies to promote information-sharing are state-based intelligence fusion centers, according to Napolitano. Fusions centers are analytic centers, usually staffed by federal, state, and locals co-located in the same facility, where threat information is gathered, analyzed, and shared up and down the government chain.
"In a typical fusion center, an FBI agent might be sitting next to a state highway patrol officer and in another, an immigration and customs officer may be working next to an agent from the DEA or from a tribal police department," she explained.
Napolitano said that DHS is building privacy safeguards into the fusion center architecture as it deploys agency personnel to the 72-recognized centers nationwide. Currently, DHS has 44 field representatives stationed at fusion centers and plans to deploy representatives to all fusion centers by the end of the year.
To acculturate a respect for civil liberties in each fusion center, DHS have provided specific guidelines for appointing privacy officers, writing a privacy and civil liberties policy, conducting community outreach, and developing oversight mechanisms. Napolitano also said DHS provides training and reference materials to state and local partners. Critics, however, charge fusion centers have already violated citizens' civil liberties.
At the departmental level, Napolitano noted that DHS employs a chief privacy officer and publishes privacy impact assessments to ensure privacy is built into all DHS policies and programs.
Napolitano also addressed the importance of international information-sharing agreements, despite different cultural attitudes toward privacy and civil liberties.
"Despite our differences, the United States and our allies have found that our agencies must work together," she said. "It does not serve privacy or security if one government agency that collects the information cannot provide it to an agency that has a legitimate security need for it."
Recent accomplishments, according to Napolitano, include signing Preventing and Combating Serious Crime agreements with 14 countries, which "allow law enforcement to share information about known and suspected terrorists and query each others' systems on a case-by-case basis."
DHS along with the Department of Justice have also agreed with the European Union on 16 core principles that protect personal information while processing and sharing terrorism and transnational crime-related information for law enforcement.
Throughout her speech, the secretary stressed that information isn't only critical to democratic governments delivering public goods such as education or healthcare, but necessary to prevent "despicable terrorists acts we've seen over the past decade in the United States, in Spain, in the U.K., and other parts of the world."
Good information, she said, helps prevent terrorists and other criminals from crossing borders, boarding planes, financing terrorist and criminal enterprises, and trafficking drugs and humans.
"We believe security and privacy do not sit separate from each other," she said, wrapping up her speech. "They need not be in opposition and can if fact serve to reinforce each other. We don't have to give up one for the other; nor will we."

Cloud computing is so alluring. The public cloud economizes infrastructure resources and creates a scalable, on-demand source for compute capacity. Additionally, the cloud can be a strategic asset for enterprises that know how to migrate, integrate and govern deployments securely.
Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak recently said, "A lot of people feel 'Oh, everything is really on my computer,' but I say the more we transfer everything onto the web, onto the cloud, the less we're going to have control over it."
In fact, over 70% of IT professionals worry about security according to an IDG Enterprise Cloud Computing Study.
Boiled down, security, access and connectivity are really issues of control.
As any prudent cloud user, the application has its own unique security features, such as disk encryption and port filtering. But do these layers of security features overlap or conflict? What happens to ownership after migration? Do solutions really have to be architected before and after deployment?
Take an application-focused approach to security from the beginning. The application-controlled, application-owned security layers will ease the decision to deploy, test, and develop in the cloud and save on IT training and time along the road.
Control of Security: Who Has It?
Part of the "magic" cloud providers and vendors supply is wrapped up in layers of ownership and control in the form of firewalls, isolation, and the cloud edge. Most enterprise application owners hope that these layers will cover the possible gaps in security after migration. Unfortunately most enterprises need security controls they can attest to and providers ultimately own and control these security features.
Unfortunately the needs and concerns of the cloud service provider are distinctly different than the needs and concerns of the enterprise cloud service user (the application topology deployed to the cloud and its owner). Security loopholes can exist because there are gaps between the areas users and providers control and own. The known boundary between what the cloud user can control and view and what the cloud provider can view and control is the root source of enterprise executives' concerns with public cloud.
The provider-owned, provider-controlled features (as in the cloud edge, cloud isolation), the provider-owned, user-controlled features (or the multi-tenant API controlled router/ hypervisor), and the app-owner, app-controlled features (OS port filtering and disk encryption) can be configured in an overlay network to give the user the ultimate control of security.
Application-to-cloud migration and software defined networking (SDN) capabilities out there offer additional, overlapping layers of control and security that span the spheres of the traditional cloud layers.
In order for cloud projects to succeed, IT executives need methods and tools they can attest to and can pass audit. Understanding the perimeter of access, control, and visibility between the application layer and the cloud provider layers is the first step to a less painful cloud migration. With this knowledge enterprises can then design a migration process that fits their use-case to deploy application topologies to the public cloud in a secure and controlled fashion.
Three Migration Rules We Recommend Breaking
Today's migration "rules" create more hurdles than solutions. Rapid industry changes, lack of standard security approaches, and the confusion on the proper steps to cloud deployment cause enterprises to overlook the issues of application-level control.
In fact, application-centric concerns are not even being addressed. Popular migration advice urges enterprises to tackle huge hurdles before and during migration, including deploying all at once, re-architecting before migration, and postponing the cost benefits of using the cloud.
Break the following three migration rules and it is possible to renovate more efficiently, capitalize on the cloud's economies of scale, and quickly, easily, and securely control enterprise networks and applications in the cloud.
Rule 1: Deploy all at once or not at all
Just as lemmings became extinct by all jumping in head first, most enterprises require time to analyze and adjust to new technologies before committing serious time and effort. Employees, customers, and shareholders would not be happy if companies jumped into new technologies without first proving value. Thankfully, enough enterprises, organizations and governments have already seized the benefits of the cloud's flexibility, cost savings, and connectivity.
Now, the challenge for IT professionals is to find the cloud architecture and provider(s) that fit their enterprise's needs and avoid having to reinvent the cloud to do so. With proven solutions in the market, enterprises can skip the bare metal to virtual to test cloud development life cycle. Simply deploy directly to any cloud environment, develop, test, then release to speed the time to market.
Rule 2: Re-architect before migration
Most providers and brokers want enterprises to spend time and effort to re-build IT systems and as a result re-learn/re-train before migration. Advice articles list migration steps of parsing applications, virtualizing, re-architecting and then migrating. Cloud pundits advise IT professionals to be wary of all cloud security and take valuable time to renovate before migrating - which will slow down the process and postpone or even wipe out the financial benefits of the cloud.
The traditional datacenter has too much knowledge flowing in a vertical direction from application to infrastructure and infrastructure to application. Migrating to the cloud before the renovate, design, or innovate steps can cut down on the upfront hassle by removing the burdens of re-architecting and re-learning skills before migration. Saving time, IT resources, and forgoing the arduous re-training speeds up the process for migrating to the cloud and ultimately how the organization capitalizes on the cloud's flexibility.
Rule 3: Pay upfront for design and renovation costs
Why stop with the cloud's physical economies of scale when there are potential savings on the costs of IT overhead? The same time and effort put into saving "design economies of scale" can be used to save major overhead costs too. A single migration, rather than the process of backup, re-architecture, and then migration is more cost-effective. Why wait for cost savings until after migration when there is an option to realize faster deployment and speed to market?
The added customization and control needed to migrate in a logical set of steps puts the control and security solidly back into the application layer.
Enterprises will likely face a long, slow migration to the cloud but, with the tools to capture the efficiency of migrating through logical steps before designing, the process can be significantly less painful. The application-controlled, application-owned security layers will ease the decision to deploy, test, and develop in the cloud and save on IT training and time along the road.
Conventional wisdom is missing the application layer importance of security and control in the cloud. So only one migration question remains - why take the stairs when you can take the elevator?

- Always SuperbPaulDined on 9/16/2014An iconic restaurant in Tucson with preparations that bring you to France. Most highly recommend for a most memorable experience!Special Features:
- A gem in TucsonTeacherDined on 9/13/2014Le Rendez-vous Bistro & Restaurant Francais remains one of the best restaurants in Tucson. From its small plate menu to its magnificent wine list it never fails to please. Our visit last Saturday evening featured my favorite, escargots, then the vichyssoise, and beef Wellington. All were prepared to perfection. My partner had brie en croute which was described as sublime, and mignons de veau au Calvados, which was expertly prepared and delicious. Service is attentive but non-intrusive. If you want a conversation with your server, he or she will oblige, but otherwise they seem to always anticipate your needs and deliver silently and expertly. If you love good food, this place must be on your list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- sets the bar for french foodfrancopileDined on 9/12/2014i have only had better in Franch. This food is the best of it's kind. great wait staff, small very well thou;gut out affordable wine list, food like work of art. you want to take some home but cannot, it is just so fresh and thoughtfully prepared.Special Features:
- Fantastic EveningljwmdphdVIPDined on 9/6/2014We have been coming to Le Rendez-vous for 9 years and enjoy the food, service and atmosphere. Dinner on Saturday was exceptional. The service was attentive and professional. The food was excellent from wonderful Escargot and Saint-Jacques to perfectly prepared Canard Montmorency and Filet au Poivre Vert. Their Souffles are generally very good, but were excellent this evening. The presentation of the dishes was well done. Overall we're happy to see that even after 9 years we can still be surprised with even better dinners.Special Features:
- Always a PleasureSaddleBrookeFoodieDined on 9/5/2014We are never disappointed when we choose to dine at Le Rendezvous. Although they were having some difficulties with their background music it did not detract from the excellent service and wonderful food. We treated ourselves to Crepe Suzette for dessert, and it was prepared table-side. Well done Le Rendezvous!!Special Features:
- Lovely for lunchHappyBuddhaDined on 9/4/2014Had a great lunch. Food delicious as always. Good pace to the service; and, it was not a packed house so very comfortable as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Un soir parfaitWinternomadsDined on 8/29/2014I live in Tucson, but this was my first visit to Le Rendez-vous. I took an out-of-town guest who loves French restaurants. It was a bit of a puzzle to find a place to park, and to find the entrance to the restaurant, but once inside we were greeted immediately and shown to a very nice table. Service was attentive without being intrusive from beginning to end. The food was superb, from the mushroom and brie turnover, through the salad and vichyssoise, to the roast duck and salmon entrees. The dining room is just about the right size, large enough for comfortable space between tables but not cavernous, quiet, and very pleasantly appointed. All in all, a perfect evening, as my guest agreed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our favoriteLainiebcDined on 8/27/2014This little bit of France in Tucson never fails! It has been our go to special treat for any occasion. With the bistro menu it has also become a favorite drop in for a lite bite.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Except for ServicecactusDined on 8/26/2014My movie group met here for wine and small plates, and we all enjoyed it very much. The food was quite good although one or two healthier choices for Happy Hour would be appreciated. (Yes, I know it's a French restaurant, but still....) Our only issue was that it took ages for the server to come for our order, and she never checked back to see if we needed anything. Only three tables in the bistro were full at the time, so....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ideal for a Special OcassionOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/19/2014I took to girl out to Le Rendez-vous to celebrate her birthday, it was very special and she was very satisfied with the food and the service and after the great food the dessert was amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday CelebrationOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/13/2014We took our neighbor for a (90th) Birthday celebration and we ll greatly enjoyed it. Special food and special treatment from the staff.Special Features:
- Pleasantly surprisedINFoodiesDined on 8/12/2014We truly enjoyed dining at the Rendezvous. Appreciated the menus, both the "Small Plate Menu" and the specialties. Thrilled to find sweetbreads among the Hors d'Oeuvres. Overall the selections were top notch and not overwhelming. Pricing was correct. Kudos! This was our first visit, and we definitely will be back. We will bring friends the next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner for the First Time HereCaliGirlNew2TucsonDined on 8/7/2014The food was amazing! The presentation and taste was right on point. The bartender (Emily) was outstanding. She knew her drinks. She even made up a drink just for my husband. The only down side to the experience was that it honestly took a long time for us to get our food wether it was the appetizer or our main dishes. The waitress would say your foods almost ready or about fifteen minutes. Half an hour later still no food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best French Cuisine in TucsonSneakypedroDined on 7/23/2014Been dining at Le Rendez Vous for years and although there were some concerns about the passing of the torch to a younger generation, the transition has gone smoothly. Old favorites are on the menu (I am especially fond of sweetbreads and love their treatment) as well as new things to try out. Be sure to reserve the duck when you make your reservation!Special Features:
- ONE OF MY FAVORITE RESTAURANTSoldtimerDined on 7/18/2014I've lived in Tucson many years and spent many hours dining at various restaurants both for business and pleasure. Le Rendez-vous has always been at the top of my list. Jean Claude's son has done an outstanding job of continuing the fine dining experience established years ago by his father.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LaneyDined on 7/17/2014We had a group of eight for an annual event. Every one of us enjoyed the ambiance, the food and the service. Definitely would recommend and definitely will return. The crab souffle was to die for!Special Features:
- Demise of a FavoriteSanDiegoBobDined on 7/14/2014This use to be my most favorite of places to celebrate and bring my sweetie for her birthday celebration, usually on Bastille Day. But on this last Bastille Day, I was so very disappointed in the quality and atmosphere of this lovely place. It seems that with the renovation of the old section of the dining area, they removed the kind, caring and deliciousness that was the Le Rendez-vous. The Vichyssoise was stringy and lacking the comfortable smoothness of the past. The wait-staff was attentive and on-the-spot but the friendliness of the past was gone. Given that this was a Monday when they aren't normally open, the menu just seemed to be lacking that certain something that made this 'Le Rendez-vous'.
- dinner 20 and 22 JulOscaritoDined on 7/13/201420 Jul pepper steak--delicious but for veg du jour 2 Brussels sprouts -- looked a bit empty--Manhattan was tops - service good had to wait for the bread-music didn't go with a French restaurant 22 Jul--business was good--ordered the cabrillo and it was perfect--sent the Manhattan back--wrong glass and had ice-waiter asked us to order as soon as possible since there were many in the other room--that was ok--I have been going there for years--It has gotten a bit less classy and a bit more friendly--the wine we ordered suited my taste and the music we heard was soft and had French lyricsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner ServiceIronMikeDined on 7/12/2014Although we've been dining at Le Rendez-vous for years, it continues to be unparalleled in food and service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Romantic PlaceDateNightMomDined on 7/12/2014The food was excellent, the ambience was tres romantique!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing dinnerLeletteDined on 6/29/2014We had an amazing dinner. The service was incredible. My mother really enjoyed speaking French to Tibault. The food was exquisite as well. We had a lovely time and would love to go back.Special Features:
- dinerVIPDined on 6/28/2014Typically we enjoy dining at Rendezvous. This visit was quite different. The service was slow, errors were made when our order was delivered, and we were not served at the same time. My dining partner was served his entree quite some time before mine was served. All in all, it was not a good experience. However, since we have had good luck in previous visits we are willing to consider this "off" night an aberration and will eat there again in the future in the hopes that this poor experience will not be repeated. However, it this type of service persists, we will reconsider having Rendezvous as one of our top five restaurants in Tucson.I would recommend this to a friend.
- French in TucsonSteak34Dined on 6/27/2014By far the best French restaurant in Tucson and maybe Phoenix. Sublime vichyssoise and wonderful veal in calvados sauce. Service good but a little slow.Special Features:
- good but not greatOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/24/2014My previous visit was much better and I felt like I had a superb dining experience. I am writing to give constructive feedback and not just to criticize. First, we were seated in the front area, assuming that we were there to take advantage of happy hour specials. Upon my request, we were repositioned in the front room even though a previous party were first given a choice. The food was very tasty but only luke warm and all of the other plates were cleared before the last diner had finished. Finally, the service wasn't great and I found them inattentive even when the restaurant was less than full. There were several apologies but it ruined my expectations as a first class dining organization.Special Features:
- Great first date...OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/21/2014Went there on a first date and the food was an amazing contribution to an already wonderful experience. Sharing small plates (5 of them) and dessert made for good companionship, conversation, and tantalizing tastes.Special Features:
- JoeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/21/2014This is a great little place with awesome food . We were on time for our reservation however we had to wait an extra 30 mins to be seated. The service was a 5 out of ten as we were seated a group of eight arrived . It felt to me and my guest that the staff were keyed in on these guests and we were taking up space . It felt like we were an after thought on the floor . Staff should spread the love you never know who you will be serving .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FadingJoshieDined on 6/21/2014One of my favorites in Tucson. However since change in ownership the food quality has slipped. My veal medallions were tough and the spinach salad was just ok. No lamb on the menu and no more Caesar salad. Little things mean a lot.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 6/21/2014The food was very good and the service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best in TucsonBest4bestDined on 6/18/2014Just got back from Paris. Felt like we never left.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Father's Day DinnerBlkSwan56Dined on 6/14/2014The restaurant was easy to locate. The staff was very attentive, although a bit presumptive to place the appropriate fork on the salad plate. Delicious wine selections, both white and red. Nice to have the small plates to try foods for the first time. Absolutely heavenly desserts. I would definitely dine here again. My father-in-law LOVED it. It was his first opportunity to have truly French cuisine in many years.Special Features:
- Excellent as usualSaddleBrookeFoodieDined on 6/12/2014We love this place and consider it a hidden gem in Tucson. It is a small local french restaurant and the chef does his best to bring excellent ingredients to patrons in a unique fashion.Special Features:
- Love at First Bite!LoloDined on 6/7/2014We've been dining at this restaurant for twenty plus years. The food is always outstanding. True to French Cuisine, their sauces always make me want to come back for more. This is a great place for special occasions! Bon Appetit to future patrons!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Speciallove2dineDined on 6/6/2014Great for special occasions. Service and food were excellent but at a price level we can only do for special occasions. (And worth it.)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our new special occasion place.Cdr777Dined on 5/29/2014Our first experience at Le Rendez-boys. We had a reservation and were seated immediately on arrival. Staff was just the right amount of interaction. Very eager to please but we're hands off enough to not be imposing. Food was excellent! No better way to put it. We will continue to return until they give us a reason not to.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 468 reviews are from the Le Rendez-vous Bistro & Restaurant Francais reviews archive.
- 3 Ambience KillersAnniversarySpot4TwoDined on 5/24/2014Change location, get central A/C and play French music (in French language) not back hills Kentucky music. First time experiencing the curtains open and loved the natural sunlight, but the view and many passers-by just inches from the window weren't appealing at all, which detracted from the "Frenchness". Too warm inside so needed AC. Wait staff all VERY friendly and attentive. We both ordered duck as usual and both thought it was not as good as usual, not as flavorful and was a bit too dry. Paté was as good as ever but batter on frog legs reminded me of same batter as on Burger King's onion rings. Mixed feelings for this visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingdinerVIPDined on 5/22/2014Once again we had a wonderful time at Le Rendez-vous. Gordon prepared an outstanding vegan, gluten free meal for me which was a special treat since we were celebrating my birthday. It could not have been better.Special Features:
- This place should closelairbearDined on 5/17/2014Imagine four large, tough scallops fried in the same frying pan with sliced potatoes and brussels sprouts. Then imagine that this tasteless concoction is billed as something called Saint Jacques. Then think about poorly mashed duck livers crumbled over a bed of lettuce billed as country pate. All of this billed as French food. This restaurant has never been the same since the founder retired. It would not last a week in France. It should close. And from the occupancy of the place as we left on a Saturday night, this event may not be far away.
- A very cliché French restaurantTraderDonDined on 5/16/2014This place is a very cliché French restaurant; it has all the typical French dishes which I like. Food was good but my guest said his escargot was a little chewy, but liked it. I had the wellington which was very tender and tasty. I would recommend the soufflé and give the chef a heads up since this does take time to prepare. The chef was also gracious enough to prepare foie gras off the menu which is always a sign of a potentially good establishment, but it was a little over cooked, but I digress, all in all a very pleasant experience. The staff was attentive, I will caveat that there were only four to five other diners in the restaurant, so in the final analysis I would say go for it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary dinnerpusherpilotDined on 5/10/2014For the most part the service was good -bread, water and drinks were promptly brought to the table. The escargot starters were excellent. However there was a long wait for the entrée. The chateaubriand was warm and excellent, but the plates had to be sent back because the potatoes and veggies were cold. They were brought back promptly and were warm. The noise level was quite high.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- goodbetMychoiceDined on 5/10/2014This is the best restaurant in Tucson. Excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent everything.Special Features:

Jaromir Jagr, a man of wealth and taste, needs little introduction. An aged and prolific star with 1,679 career points and some of the greatest gifts the NHL has ever seen, the 41-year-old winger will be in Boston Wednesday and we'll begin to find out Thursday night, with the Devils in town, just what he will mean as the newest Bruin.
For starters, Boston general manager Peter Chiarelli isn't sure if Jagr is here merely as a rental, a springtime Causeway dalliance, or if the one-time Penguins superstar still has enough game and desire for the Bruins to entice him to stick around for a year, two, maybe three.

they're both annoying.
should have webber and barkley be the blazer announcers.
only thing i really dislike about the mikes is this whole
"i'd have to see it to agree with that call" gets sort of annoying because most of the fans go off of what they say. they're not always correct with it either. which is entertaining.

If any of you have league pass you can sample all the home announcers and Mike and Mike are pretty good but at times they stray from the game and do tend to be a little negative. The thing I don't like most of all is Mike always interrupts a point that the older mike is making.

Thanks For Visiting! I love to write sassy, strong heroines who, unfortunately, tend to get into desperate situations. You'll find some stories funny and others dark, but I'm a believer in happy endings. Even if it takes some time and wading through a lot of trouble to get there.
I'm writing Cherry's next mystery, The Body in the Landscape (#5), plus other projects with new characters. Check back for news on upcoming releases. Also watch for events where I can meet with you both live and on the internet.
I can't wait to meet y'all! I love to chat, so check out my links to Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, and Pinterest! Or join the Mystery Minions and get on the Larissa Reinhart and LynDee Walker street team! You can always drop me at line, too. I love to hear from readers!
Thanks so much,
Thanks to Henery Press for making this video for the Death in Perspective launch. I hope you enjoy it!


text: Diabetes substantially affects school dropout rates and wages Research Activities, November 2012, No. 387 Diabetes affects more than 23 million people, or just under 8 percent of the United States population. The impact of the disease is immense, reveals a new study by two Yale University researchers. Rates of Type 2 diabetes, usually linked to obesity and a sedentary lifestyle, continue to rise along with growing rates of obesity. Type 1 diabetes, in which the immune system destroys insulin-producing cells of the pancreas, is not considered related to diet and lifestyle and is not considered preventable.The researchers found that the high school dropout rate was 6 percentage points higher among students with diabetes than those without the disease. Also young adults with diabetes who have one or more parents with diabetes have a reduced likelihood of attending college by four to six percentage points, even after controlling for the child's health status. What's more, a person with diabetes can expect to lose more than $160,000 in wages over his or her working life, compared to a peer without the disease.The researchers call for in-school screening for whether the impact of diabetes on individual learning and performance begins before classic signs of clinical diabetes appear. They used data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health from 1994–1995, 1996, 2001–2002, and 2008 (when respondents were an average of nearly 30 years). However, respondents were not asked to identify whether they had Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, a major limitation of the study. The researchers also measured the educational and labor-market outcomes for the young adult population with diabetes. Prior estimates place the total lifetime costs to society at between $243,000 and $388,000 per high school dropout. Increasing the dropout rate by 5 percentage points for the 570,000 young people with diabetes suggests a predicted increase of nearly 30,000 high school dropouts because of diabetes. That results in an estimated overall cost to society of $7–11 billion during the dropouts' lifetimes.The researchers note that prevention of Type 2 diabetes, especially for children, might take on a renewed urgency for parents and other stakeholders once they become aware of how soon the effects of diabetes emerge and how profound the impact is later in life.
