STAFF WRITER | February 02,2013State officials are preparing to launch a new sex offender registration database and website that they say will provide the public with more tools to identify sex offenders in their communities.
Following an audit three years ago that identified a need for more accurate and timely reporting, Department of Public Safety officials began working to install a new system already used in 34 other states, according to DPS Commissioner Keith Flynn.
The Legislature directed us to get the system cleaned up, Flynn said. Thats what we did and its a substantial upgrade.
The new OffenderWatch system coming online soon will eliminate typographical errors by reducing the number of times data is manually entered into the system and it will post updates in real time, Flynn said.
Statewide mapping capabilities are built into the software and a number of new features are included.
For starters, the system will send offenders periodic electronic and telephone requests for address verifications.
Offenders can also use email to update their addresses and living status.
The system will also allow law enforcement agencies in and outside of the state greater access to information about offenders.
Residents will have greater access to information as well, Flynn said. This includes email alerts, for those who register on the new website, about new Internet-posted sex offenders moving into their city or town.
Vermont has 1,197 registered sex offenders, nearly 1,000 of whom meet the criteria to be posted on the website. The criteria include aggravated sexual assault of a child, kidnapping with intent to commit sexual assault, a designation as a sexual predator, and failing to comply with required treatment.
The new website will also provide specific addresses for sex offenders once legislative changes are made, Flynn said.
Presently, state officials release the name of the town or city of a sex offender whose profile is posted on the website, but not the name of the street they live on.
Vermont statute still prohibits public safety officials from releasing that information. But Flynn said lawmakers stated in the past that once the department corrected problems with the website the Legislature would add street addresses to the Internet profiles.
The new $403,500 system has proved successful in other states, he said, and the cost of its purchase and implementation in Vermont was paid for entirely by two federal grants.
The new site can be found at www.communitynotification.com/vermont/.

Justin Bieber Gossip
Justin Bieber gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Pull down your pants
Lower! Justin Bieber went horseback riding yesterday. He had to take his shirt off. Then, when he dismounted, he had to make sure his pants weren't hitched up too high. High meaning normal, like, hip level. Hip level is too high. The pants must be low enough to see pube. Full Story
The perfect son
AKM-GSI/ Splash
Justin Bieber took his ma to the Clippers game for Mother's Day yesterday. Apparently they booed him when he moved to kiss her. It didn't deter him. He gave one of his best performances in a long time. And by best, I mean that he was the least annoying that he's been in a long time. Full Story
"Did you bring any crack to smoke?"
According to The Toronto Star this is what Justin Bieber said to Rob Ford on March 15 when they ran into each other at a club in Toronto. It's the little punk vs the buffoon, insolence vs ignorance, brat vs bonehead. And Ford's reaction? He supposedly became "enraged" and had to be hustled back to his booth where he spent the rest of the night hanging out with three paid party hostesses and allegedly doing rails in the bathroom. Full Story
On different coasts
FameFlynet, JDH Imagez/ Splash
Taylor Swift did not show at Coachella. She spent time in New York instead. At her new apartment. Making an appearance on SNL. And hanging with all her model friends like Karlie Kloss. Also, Lena Dunham was papped leaving her building yesterday. Her ex-BFF Selena Gomez meanwhile continues to spend time with Kanye West's fiance's family. Full Story
Miami dancing?
Selena Gomez was seen in Miami arriving at a studio to visit Justin Bieber. There he is opening the door for her. I'm impressed this is still going on. Seriously. I thought it would be maybe six months of on and off. At their age, they should be able to work it out of their systems in that amount of time. Full Story
Taylor & Selena break up
FameFlynet, Splash
Well this isn't news. I mean they haven't been together in a long time, not even at the Vanity Fair Oscar party which they both attended and decided not to pose together. Later on, Selena tweeted about hanging out with Vanessa Hudgens and something to the effect of "she's the only party favour I need". Full Story
Baby and his Most Elegant Princess
See, this is the kind of video I prefer. I don't want to watch deposition video of Justin Bieber being a sh-t to a lawyer. I would rather watch him in a dance studio with Selena Gomez, his "Most Elegant Princess" doing a corny move-by-move interpretation of John Legend's Ordinary People. Full Story
The Justin Bieber tapes
FameFlynet, Corbis/ Splash
I'm not sure it's a good idea for you to watch these on a Monday morning. I'm not sure it's a good idea to show you something that will make you violent on a Monday morning. So maybe don't watch if you have an important meeting coming up? Or a client lunch later on? Justin Bieber is infuriating at the best of times. Full Story
Justin Bieber's Gossip Nostalgia
Selena Gomez went to the Vanity Fair Oscar party. Then Justin Bieber posted this on his Instagram: "Most elegant princess in the world" God that is gross. The wording is gross. That notion that women should be princesses in the minds of their lovers. Full Story
Flying with Baby
247PapsTV/ Splash
Justin Bieber flew to New York last week from Toronto after setting off a storm of sh-t here at the police station. He was apparently detained for 5 hours upon arrival on alleged suspicion of drugs. Now NBC News is releasing details from the official flight report. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
I had every intention of watching Miley's MTV Unplugged last night. But I missed it. You know why?
He came home to Toronto and turned himself into police and our freezing city almost melted down. JB hijacked everyone's night. And our morning. So my Chinese New Year wish for him is to let us enjoy one weekend, the Chinese New Year weekend, without a DUI arrest, without fighting, without prostitutes, without peeing in a bucket in a restaurant, without egging a neighbour's house, drag racing, smoking out hotel rooms – just stay like this for a few days: asleep with your little brother. Let our streets be safe.
JB: An outlaw in 3 territories
George Pimentel/ Getty
Justin Bieber is being investigated in Los Angeles for egging his neighbour's home. He was arrested in Miami last week for DUI and some other sh-t. He turned himself in to Toronto Police last night and was charged with assault from an incident that happened at the end of December when a limo driver was allegedly attacked by 6 members of his crew. Full Story
Pacific Coast News
Look at this punk, smirking his way out of the courthouse yesterday. You can't touch me. You can't f-cking touch me. I'm Justin Bieber. This happened before he hitched himself up on the SUV to wave to the crowd. I'm a true badass now, yo. With my very own mugshot. Dad must be so proud. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
It's almost like Justin Bieber didn't want Rob Ford to be the only douchebag from Canada making headlines. The two were trading dick moves last year, one outdoing the other with pussy jokes and prostitute hookups. So Rob Ford drops some bumbaclots and how does JB respond?
Oh. DUI.
A few years ago, every night we all went to bed - or didn't go to bed - wondering what would happen to Britney Spears at 3am. Then it was Lindsay Lohan's turn. And now the escalation of Justin Bieber.
Surprise? Please. You were waiting for it. Because the child star who doesn't end up f-cked up is the EXCEPTION. I mean, at this point Taylor Swift is an exception. Which makes her exceptional. How does that make you feel?
Yours in gossip,

A Probe Into the Narrative Structure of Jude the Obscure
This paper attempts to explore the narrative structure Hardy employed in Jude the Obscure. Based on close reading and textual analysis of Jude the Obscure, the essay argues that the text takes on the form of circular structure and contrastive symmetry. With such pluralistic forms, a perfect harmony is thus achieved between the content, especially in the tragic themes, and form so as to enhance the tragic effect and irony of the text. It is concluded that both in time span and narrative structure Hardy transcends the 19th century Victorian norms, thus Hardy may be also acknowledged as a modernist writer.

Fox 2's Charlie Langton had a few moments to discuss issues pertaining to the Detroit Public Schools with its new emergency financial manager, Roy Roberts earlier at the Mackinac Policy Conference.
Roberts confidently speaks about the upcoming school year's preliminary budget, which is currently awaiting approval from the state. When that budget is approved, Roberts will be able to determine how many teachers will be needed for the next academic year as well as what projects can be done in the schools themselves.
Not avoiding reality that only 16% of DPS graduates are prepared for college level courses, Roberts discusses that he and Governor Rick Snyder are working together to "fix kindergarten through college."
Roberts took over as Detroit Public School's emergency financial manager on May 5.

The Air Jordan 4 2013 Retro "Lightning" is said to have a release date scheduled for March 2nd, 2013. Stay tuned to TSG for the latest updates. via SA

God dang i just payed $1500 for these! yeah right!
I think this is a beautiful thing that they are releasing again, I have a pair and would'nt mind another. I hope they mass produce these, why pay an arm and a leg for em?
I feel like these just came out. Still have mine in the box almost deadstock.
Not a must, not a cop, but I agree with Exec, mass produce these so everyone could have a pair. Might grab a pair to ball in depending on how easy it'll be to cop these at retail.
Couldn't get these when they first dropped… Might get them… but still on my Jordan hiatus till the grapes drop!!!
BS'd around on these last time. Not this time tho. Its on!!!
oh gosh…
Nice. Reason why I like the Tokyo 5′s…
All I have to say is "a sz 9 please".
I wish the blue was black (I know they released this way first)but the black would look better just saying.
Jordan Brand is releasing to much.
Will they be $160.00?
Had three pair, sold down to one. Beat that pair, still sold it…shipped to Mexico. Anyhizzle, I want back in. Two L/T packs for $750. Mmmmm, good…
ill be getting these just to have the counterpart also.
the thunders are ugly and these are even uglier.. pass
Would like to have a pair of these…
i just don't get it. i understand retro-ing a sneaker after 10+ years cause of wearability, but why these? the 2006s are still 100% wearable. JB's just going through their archives and retroing every classic. it's bull shit, i dont want my first retro aqua 8s being confused with the shit quality 2013s.
Quality quality quality ppl b quiet on that subject its not like someone is gonna look at your shoes for that
I new it was coming. Coppin!

From the Petra entrance gate, a modern gravel path – one side for horses, the other for pedestrians – leads down through a lunar landscape of white rocky domes and looming cliffs known as the Bab as-Siq ("Gate of the Siq"). The bed of the Wadi Musa, carrying water during the winter and early spring, curves alongside. In all but the bleached-out midday hours, the light is soft enough to pick up earth tones of browns and beiges in the rock, but it's only with the last rays of the sunset that there's any hint of the pink that Petra is famous for.
Almost immediately, you can see evidence of Nabatean endeavour: three huge god-blocks, six to eight metres high, loom next to the path just round the first corner, carved probably to serve as both representations of and repositories for the gods to stand sentinel over the city's vital water supply. Twenty-five such god-blocks exist in Petra, deemed by the locals to have been the work of jinn, or genies, and so also termed jinn-blocks; another name is sahrij, or water-tanks (which has been loosely interpreted to mean tanks holding divine energy next to flowing water). The middle one has shaft graves cut into it, implying that it may also have served as some kind of funerary monument. Opposite the god-blocks are caves, one of which has an obelisk carved in relief, representing the soul of a dead person. Such carved shrines abound in every corner of Petra's mountains, and, for those with time to explore, the small side-valleys off this section of the Bab as-Siq are filled with tombs, water channels, niches and shrines: behind the blocks, the area of domes known as Ramleh is cut through by parallel wadis, one of which is Wadi Muthlim, and is equally explorable.
The Obelisk Tomb and Bab as-Siq Triclinium
The first major Nabatean monuments are a few metres further on, and – being on an exposed corner – badly eroded. Although apparently the upper and lower halves of a single monument, the Obelisk Tomb and Bab as-Siq Triclinium may be separate entities, carved at different times. Above, four pyramidal obelisks guard the entrance to a cave in the rock; such freestanding obelisks may have been like the god-blocks, representing a god and storing divine energy in a material form. Between the four is an eroded figure in a niche; the cave behind holds graves. Below, the triclinium, or dining room, is a single chamber with stone benches on three walls, for holding banquets in honour of the dead. On the opposite side of the path, 5m off the ground, a bilingual inscription in Nabatean and Greek records that one Abdmank chose this spot to build a tomb for himself and his children, although it's not certain that this refers to the monuments opposite.
Just past the Obelisk Tomb is a path leading to the hidden Petran suburb of Madras, tucked into the hills to the left (south), from where it's possible to cross the hilltops over the Jabal al-Jilf plateau, avoiding the Siq, to the top of the high, narrow Danqur al-Khazneh valley leading down to the Treasury; the views are stunning, and the sense of isolation is worth the scramble if you've already seen the Siq. However, the route is far from clear, relying on worn Nabatean rock-cut stairs, and you'll need a guide.
The dam and tunnel
Back on the path, the curving northern bank of the wadi is liberally pockmarked with caves and niches, round to the point where the path is taken over the wadi bed by a bridge and the Wadi Musa itself is blocked by a modern dam; this is almost exactly the same configuration as was built by the Nabateans in about 50 AD, and for the same reasons: to divert the floodwaters of the Wadi Musa away from the Siq so that the principal entry into the city could remain clear year round. On the opposite bank of the wadi are four obelisks, one mentioning a man who lived in Reqem (Petra) but died in Jerash.
It's here, at the mouth of the Siq, that all horseriders must dismount. Entrance tickets are sometimes checked.
To the right, the Nabatean-carved, 8m-high tunnel – guarded by another, solitary god-block – enabled the floodwaters to feed into the Wadi Muthlim leading north around the gigantic Jabal al-Khubtha. Today, this is an alternative way into Petra.
Nabatean religion
Nabatean religion
As much as they created a blend of Arab culture with Mediterranean, the Nabateans also blended inherited elements of the ancient religions of Egypt, Syria, Canaan, Assyria and Babylon with elements of the Greek and Roman pantheons, to create specifically Petran forms of worship.
Central to their religion was rock. Jehovah, the god of the Israelites, was said to inhabit a blank rock called Bet-El ("House of God") – and this insistence on non-figurative representation was shared by many Levantine and Arabian peoples. It was passed on to the Nabateans, in contrast to the Egyptians' and Assyrians' lavish portrayals of gods and goddesses. Concepts such as "the Lord is my rock" also appear many times in the Old Testament, implying an extension of the "House of God" idea so that the rock actually represents the deity itself. Nabatean deities were thus often represented simply by squared-off rocks, termed "god-blocks". In addition, a later development gave the rock a third aspect: that of the altar, the contact point between the divine and the material.
At the head of the Nabatean pantheon was Dushara, "He of the Shara" (the mountains around Petra), later identified with the Greek god Zeus and the Syrian Hadad. The fact that his name is so closely tied to the locality indicates that he may originally have been an Edomite, rather than a Nabatean, god. To the Nabateans, Dushara was the sun, the Creator, and he was often represented by an obelisk – the visual materialization of a beam of light striking the earth. With the mingling of Semitic and Mediterranean ideas, Dushara also came to be associated with Dionysus, god of wine, and so began to assume human form, bedecked with vines and grapes (as at the Nabatean temple on Jabal Tannur).
At Dushara's side were Atargatis, the goddess of fertility, of grain, fruit and fish; Allat (which means simply "The Goddess"), who represented the moon; Manat, the goddess of luck and fate, suggested to have been the patron deity of Petra and possibly the goddess worshipped at the Treasury; and al-Uzza ("The Mighty One"), assimilated with the Egyptian goddess Isis and the Roman goddesses Diana, deity of water and fertility, and Venus, embodied by the evening star and representing spiritual and erotic love. Allat, al-Uzza and Manat are all mentioned by name in the Quran, implying that their cult was still active and popular in Mecca as late as the seventh century, the time of the Prophet Muhammad.
The Nabateans also had many smaller gods, including al-Kutbay, god of writing; She'a-al-Qawm, the patron deity of caravans; Qos, originally an Edomite god; and Baal-Shamin, a Phoenician god especially popular in northern Nabatea, who had a temple somewhere near the modern mosque in the centre of Wadi Musa town.
The Wadi Muthlim route
The Wadi Muthlim route
Although you should definitely follow the Siq into Petra at least once (and probably more than once, at different times of day), if you've allocated several days to a visit, the beautiful Wadi Muthlim is a good alternative entry route through stunning scenery, but taking no less than two hours to deliver you to the Nymphaeum in the city centre. Due to the very real danger of flash floods, you shouldn't attempt it at all during the rainy season – roughly November to March – and even as late as May, there may be difficult-to-avoid standing pools of water harbouring water snakes: wading would be a mistake.
Before beginning the walk, you can take a small detour from the dam at the Siq entrance up to the Eagle Niche, set in the rocks 400m to the northwest. Cross the wadi over the roof of the tunnel and head left up the second side-valley; it's a short scramble over the smooth, hot rock up to a set of small niches carved in the right-hand wall, one of which features a strikingly carved eagle with wings outspread.
Back at the tunnel, Wadi Muthlim – full of oleanders, but with high walls cutting out all sound bar the occasional birdsong – is easily passable up to the remains of another Nabatean dam; beyond here, the path gets steadily narrower until you reach a point where a massive boulder all but blocks the way. It's possible to squeeze past, and the path continues to narrow until, with the wadi floor no wider than your foot, you reach a T-junction; arrows on the solid walls all around will point you left. This cross-wadi is the Sidd Maajn, equally narrow, but beautifully eroded by flowing water. As you proceed, seemingly moving through the heart of the mountain, you'll notice the Nabateans were here before you: there are dozens of carved niches, some featuring pediments, other curving horns. It's around here that the way might be blocked by rockpools.
Eventually, you'll emerge into the open Wadi Mataha, about 600m northeast of Dorotheos' House, and the best part of 2km northeast of the Nymphaeum.

Athina Mercouriou, who has been practicing Feng Shui for more than a decade, says the salon's environment is the key to client retention. "Feng Shui ensues energy, feelings, moods and emotions that any salon or spa can benefit from," she says. "By incorporating different color, shapes and materials, positive energy will stem from the environment."
The Feng Shui elements in a salon must be based on the image a salon owner wants to show, Mercouriou says. As a starting point, look for anything in the salon that looks lifeless, old, dirty or cluttered. Everything should be clean and clutter free.
"Make sure the entrance is inviting and alive. An empty wall or corner will not be appealing if it is the first thing a customer sees," she says. Since the concept of beauty can be given through color and shapes, Mercouriou suggests having greenery, such as bamboo or colorful flowers, as the first thing clients see. "Remember, less is more. Keeping things minimal and uncluttered is essential to Feng Shui."
For the rest of the salon, the five elements of Feng Shui should be used:
Wood—This can be implemented through furniture or greenery.
Fire—This can be implemented through illuminating light or artwork.
Earth—This can be implemented through flooring, tiles or walls. Many people incorporate pebbles into the wall for this element.
Metal—This can be implemented through chairs or the register.
Water—The sound or imagery of flowing water relates directly to the flow of money.
Johnathan Breiting Salon & Luxury Spa in Chicago incorporates all five elements of Feng Shui into its decor.

How To: Make Your Own Produce Bags
Because even if you remember to bring and use your reusable bags at the store- you'll probably still need a few of these...
There's a nice tutorial available at Craftzine to make the lovely bags above.
And here's a great idea for reusing your onion bags- just crochet handles!
Visit Mindful Momma for the complete roundup.
6 Comments
These are so cute! I initially thought these were just dish towels sewn up along three sides - Might be an easy project for this weekend :)
Those are great ideas. I have a bunch of these Ecobags that I think work great, too, if you aren't crafty!
great ideas...I take my own glad bags and a huge jute bag to put in those glad bags after billing...though i felt better about not usig those flimsy bags hung ove rthe produce section...i used to feel guilty for using glad bags....( i have been using twelve of them over the last two years)...i hae been working on making my own cotton based bags ..but i was not sure if the super markets would allow me to use them...seeing this post..i m motivated!
I was a cashier in a grocery store for ten years, so please believe me when I suggest that people NOT bring their own reusable produce bags.
The inside of your grocery cart, the conveyor belt, the cashier's hands, the bagger's hands, have all been nicely contaminated by dripping meat packages, leaking milk, and/or filthy sick children in leaky diapers.
It is impossible for these surfaces to be constantly sanitized.
Fabric produce bags and wet produce will make the bag act as a sponge, absorbing icky germs and viruses.
Do put ALL your produce in a bag (even melons and bananas) but please use plastic and do not reuse them.
Grocery stores are FAR MORE filthy than restaurants, also.
ohjodi, that makes a lot of sense - not to mention that the cashiers handling those bags are also handling cash, and the cashier can't see what is in an opaque bag without opening it.
Those are very cute bags, but I'm not sure they are practical.
I was worried about grocery germs when I first started using my cloth bags for purchases. The best solution I've found has been systemic: 1) remember to take the cloth bags into the store, 2) use specific bags for specific items, 3) produce is naked in open-air long before it gets to the store so the germs have always come from the humans relocating the produce, 4) individual clean reuseable produce bags (sheer cloth) can ride in my fabric tote while in my cart and while on the conveyor, 5) clerks need only transfer my produce bags from one nice clean washable tote to another nice clean washable tote as they're weighed. Then, I throw the whole bunch in the laundry and start over.

The developers of bitcoin are trying to show that money can be successfully privatised. They will fail, because money that is not issued by governments is always doomed to failure. Money is inevitably a tool of the state.
Bitcoin relies on thoroughly contemporary technology. It consists of computer-generated tokens, with sophisticated algorithms guaranteeing the anonymity, transparency and integrity of transactions. However, the monetary philosophy behind this web-based phenomenon can be traced back to one of the oldest theories of money.
Economists have long declared that currencies are essentially a tool to increase the efficiency of barter, which they consider the foundation of all organised economic activity. On this view, money is a convenient instrument used by individuals to get things done. It is not inherently part of the apparatus of government.
I think of the concept of privately issued tender as "right money," because the whole idea appeals instinctively to right-wing thinkers. They dislike centralised authority of all sorts, including monetary authority. For example, Friedrich Hayek, Margaret Thatcher's favourite economist, proposed replacing the state's monopoly on legal tender with competing currencies offered by rival banks.
Hayek presumably would have approved of bitcoin. The currency's issuer is an unknown computer programmer, about as far from a government as can be imagined. Right now bitcoin is tiny; at the current exaggerated exchange rate the total projected volume of "coins" is worth less than the GDP of Mongolia. Still, Hayek might well have dreamt of bitcoins becoming a global currency for wages, prices and loans. He would, though, have hoped for a more stable value, not the increase from $13 to $900 per bitcoin in less than a year.

Type 2 Diabetes: Recently Diagnosed
Is this topic for you?
This topic provides information for adults who have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes within the last few months. If this topic does not answer your questions, see:
If you are looking for information about type 1 diabetes, see the topic Type 1 Diabetes.
What is type 2 diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes is a lifelong disease that develops when the pancreas can't make enough insulin or when the body's tissues become resistant to insulin.
Insulin is a hormone that helps the body's cells use sugar (glucose) for energy. It also helps the body store extra sugar in muscle, fat, and liver cells. Without insulin, this sugar can't get into your cells to do its work. It stays in your blood instead. Your blood sugar level then gets too high.
High blood sugar can harm many parts of the body. It can damage blood vessels and nerves throughout your body. You will have a bigger chance of getting eye, heart, blood vessel, nerve, and kidney disease.
Your weight, level of physical activity, and family history affect how your body responds to insulin. People who are overweight, get little or no exercise, or have diabetes in the family are more likely to get type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is usually found in adults, which is why it used to be called adult-onset diabetes. But now more and more children and teens are getting it too.
Type 2 diabetes is a disease that you will always have, but you can live a long and healthy life by learning how to manage it.
What are the symptoms?
Many people have symptoms such as increased thirst and urination, weight loss, and blurred vision. Some people do not have symptoms, especially when diabetes is diagnosed early.
How is type 2 diabetes diagnosed?
Most likely you found out that you have diabetes when you saw your doctor for a regular checkup or for some other problem. Your doctor probably diagnosed type 2 diabetes by examining you, asking about your health history, and looking at the results of blood sugar tests.
How is it treated?
You play a big role in your diabetes treatment. A healthy diet helps keep your blood sugar under control and helps prevent heart disease.
Eating the right amount of carbohydrate at each meal is very important. Carbohydrate is found in:
A dietitian or a certified diabetes educator can help you plan your meals.
Losing weight, eating right, and being more active are enough for some people to control their blood sugar levels. Others also need to take one or more medicines, including metformin (Glucophage) or insulin.
You may need to take other steps to prevent other problems from diabetes. These problems are called complications. You may need medicine for high blood pressure or high cholesterol. If you smoke, quitting smoking may help you avoid having a heart attack and stroke.
People with diabetes are more likely to die from heart and blood vessel problems like heart attack and stroke. Talk to your doctor about whether you should take low-dose aspirin. Daily low-dose aspirin (81 milligrams) may help prevent heart problems if you are at risk for heart attack or stroke.
What kind of daily care do you need?
The key to managing your diabetes is to keep your blood sugar level within your target range. You can do this by:
It seems like a lot to do at first. You might start with one or two changes. First focus on checking your blood sugar regularly and being active more often. Then work on the other tasks as you can.
It can be hard to accept that you have diabetes, especially if you don't have any symptoms. It's normal to feel sad or angry. You may even feel grief. Talking about your feelings may help. Your doctor or other health professionals can help you cope with your diagnosis.

In the last Guitar Idol competition update we were a little unsure about whether or not entries were closed due to conflicting information on the official website. Well it would seem that the deadline has now been extended until January 28th, so there's still some time left to enter this year's competition.
The number of entrants since the previous update has dropped significantly as most people seem to have gotten their submissions in within the first couple of months. There are however three more excellent left handed entrants to take a look at and gain some inspiration from…
Tom Winter – Sarah Rose
Tom is a UK fingerstyle artist and has submitted his track 'Sarah Rose' which showcases his sublimely melodic and unique playstyle. The song itself is fantastic, but what makes Tom's entry even more impressive if the fact that he's playing a right handed guitar upside down without restringing! This style of playing really lends itself well to his gorgeous use of harmonics as the fretting hand is less likely to accidentally mute any ringing notes. I love the subtle bend at 10 seconds in, little touches like this really make the song for me.
I'm hopeless at recognising acoustic models, maybe someone can help me out with this one…
Jordi Pinyol – Blues Improv
Regular readers of LeftyFretz will recognise Jordi from when we chatted to him a couple of months ago about what it's like being a professional guitarist (and left handed!). Jordi has submitted a video of himself jamming over a blues track in a wide variety of different playing styles. I love Jordi's style – he's a very versatile player.
Jordi is playing is beautiful Suhr Classic.
Susan Santos – Long John Blues
Susan Santos is another name that cropped up during our chat with Jordi as another great left handed player to watch out for. She is also based in Spain and performs in her band 'Susan Santos & the Papa's Red Band'. Her entry is a great blues track filmed live at a gig.
Susan is playing her Fender Stratocaster.
With the deadline only a couple of weeks away it's unlikely that there will be many more entrants so this should be the last update before we see who makes it through to heat number two. Best of luck to everyone who has entered!

Human papillomavirus is a common infection--more than half of sexually active men and women are infected with HPV at some time in their lives. But HPV vaccines can help prevent infection from both high risk HPV types that can lead to cervical cancer and low risk types that cause genital warts.
HPV vaccines are recommended for girls ages 11-12. Catch up vaccination is recommended for girls and young women ages 13-26 who have not been previously vaccinated. Males are also at risk for a number of HPV diseases, so boys and young men ages 9-26 can also be vaccinated against HPV.
While vaccination rates among girls and young women are still low (as of 2010, only 49% of girls between the ages of 13 and 17 had received at least one dose of the vaccine, and only 32% completed all three doses), rates of infection with strains of HPV covered by the vaccines have dropped significantly. Researchers comparing HPV infections rates among females ages 14-19 in years before (2003-2006) and after (2007-2010) the first HPV vaccine became available found a 56% drop in infection rates for the HPV types covered by the vaccine.
The video below gives a quick introduction to the basic facts about HPV vaccines. You can learn more from the FAQs below.
There are currently two HPV vaccines available:
Experts recommend that all females between the ages of 9 and 26 get an HPV vaccine. About half of all new infections are diagnosed in girls and young women between 15 and 24 years of age, so early vaccination is important. Males between the ages of 9 and 26 should also get the vaccine to prevent genital warts and some cancers.
The vaccine is given in three doses. The second shot should be given one to two months after the first, and the third shot should be given six months after the first. The goal is to get all three shots within six months. Ideally, people should complete all three shots before they become sexually active. However, those who are eligible and are sexually active should still get the vaccine.
HPV vaccines have been used in many countries around the world for several years, and both vaccines appear to be safe and well tolerated. There have been some mild to moderate reactions reported from people who have received the vaccines, the most common of which is pain, redness, and swelling around where the shot was given. Other mild reactions reported include fever, headache, fatigue, nausea and vomiting. Some people have experienced fainting as well.
As with any vaccine or medication, there is always a possible of a serious problem, such allergic reaction. However, such reactions are rare and HPV vaccine continue to be monitored for any safety concerns.
Each state decides whether or not to require vaccinations for enrollment in childcare or school attendance.
According to the National Conference for State Legislators (NCSL), legislators in at least 41 states and D.C. have introduced legislation to require the vaccine, fund or educate the public about the HPV vaccine since 2006, and at least 22 states have enacted legislation. Currently, only Virginia and the District of Columbia have requiremnts for HPV vaccination for school. However, parents can opt out of vaccination requirements.
See the NCSL website for up to date, state-specific information.
The vast majority of health insurance plans report including most or all of the ACIP recommended vaccines in their benefits for children adolescents and adults.
For those that qualify, HPV vaccines are also available through the federal Vaccines for Children (VFC) program. The VFC program provides free vaccinations for children aged 18 and under who meet at least one of the following criteria: 1) Medicaid eligible; 2) uninsured; 3) underinsured; or 4) Native American or Alaska Native. More information on the VFC program is available here.
While some parents have expressed a concern that vaccinating their children against HPV will lead to increased sexual behavior, several studies have shown this not to be the case. While many studies relied upon self-reported behavior about sexual activity, a 2012 study published in the journal Pediatrics instead looked at medical data, including pregnancy, sexually transmitted infection testing or diagnosis, and contraceptive counseling as evidence of sexually activity. The researchers found that HPV vaccination in the recommended ages was not associated with increased sexual activity.
Yes! HPV vaccines will not eliminate all HPV or cervical cancer. The vaccines prevent the HPV types that cause 70% of cervical cancer cases, but there are other types of HPV (not covered in the vaccine) that could cause disease.
In addtion to regular Pap tests, women 30 and over can also request an HPV test along with their Pap. Unlike a Pap test, which only detects abnormal cell changes, an HPV test can be used to find one or more of the high-risk types of HPV that are most commonly found with cervical cancer. Most women under 30 with HPV will get rid of the virus, so the HPV test for younger women isn't helpful.

This is my 4th Online buy from flipkart i got my cam to the very nxt wrkng day itself, i bought this camera for my sister the camera is very sleek and easy to handle and its very simple and the pics are very gud wen compared other models in the same price.The zoom is very excellent and pics which i took in night are as same as dat i took in the day time there are many modes wch we can use and take pics in very diff styles.....8/10 for the product.
I got one camera bag,camera pouch,Two rechargeable batteries with charger and a 4GB card im very happy and as usual 10/10 to flipkart.
Ordered it on a wednesday at 5.30 am & got it delivered to my address in the afternoon a day later having all the contents in proper order & condition.
Well,on coming to the camera I must say that it is one of the most basic ones u get in market but the best too ,,,, changing the properties of the brightness,exposure and other specs is not allowed apart from the presets which aren't too good ... so not a good buy for Pros.
Go for a better Cam with more flexiblities.
bought this camera as a gift. Great price (and freebies) and super fast delivery by Flipkart. When received, found the SD CARD missing, but rest of the package was in perfect condition. Flipkart had the memory card sent immediately without an fuss upon my request.
Overall a good experience.
I have been using this product for more than 6 months now. I didn't purchase this product from Flipkart but thought of writing a review with my experience. Nikon L23 offers a high 5x optical zoom but don't ever go for the zoom to ruin your pictures. Extremely worse quality pics in little low light and indoors. The image stabiliser is almost useless. Takes a lot of effort to take a photo in even 2x zoom,the pic gets distorted almost everytime i take a pic with zoom. Low priced and cool looks but also very low performance. Try not to go for this cam unless you are impressed by its outer looks... (Expand)
At 5k This camera is good. Nice picture quality and features.
But its made up of low quality plastic. I broke a a tiny chip off the battery covering lid and was told by the service center that I need to pay 3000/- as they need to change entire body ! all this happened within 3 months of buying the camera.
Awesome Camera with brilliant performance. I purchased this camera 2 years ago and till now its working fine. Picture quality is superb... (View complete review)
Very good picture quality, compact easy to use, nice zoom quality as well. You can go for it no more thinking require. Provided chargeable AA battery with charger. (View complete review)
I picked this camera in a hurry because the price was really low at the time of purchase. But in haste, I forgot to notice that it does not do HD recording. Most entry-level cameras come with HD recording now. If that's not a concern for you, this is a good camera for the price. (View complete review)
Daytime photos are effective
Resolution is sufficient for basic photos
Night time flash is not at all good,
Display got a problem with in 8 months of usage.
Cheap and equal value for money. (View complete review)
This was my first camera. I am using it from 6 month. I didn't face any problem so far.
All the feature are good as mentioned about the product no drawbacks.
But only one problem i have faced is with it's Memory card, that after using the memory card from card reader when i inserted it in back t... (View complete review)

This is a great post. People often toss around the phrase "thought-provoking," but it literally has provoked a lot of thoughts for me: Imagine how different our country's military policy would be if the 16 year olds and 17 year olds who are preparing to fight our wars had a say in the political process.

Manhattan, Fifth Avenue - If one is looking to own a nice, simple pied a terre (a weekend/vacation home in the city), one could do worse than the luxury of an apartment in The Plaza Hotel: location, amenities, service (maids, room service), et al). One pays handsomely for the privilege —a multiple of what a like-kind would cost in a 'normal' terrific building, which is certainly one downside for most of us (including me). I would never knock any one's lust, but it is a little too showy for me. Yet it is a stunning building, the bones are tremendous (and I love these windows — yes, with Central Park views)

If physical immortality was perfected and happened tomorrow, and people could become young again, what would be the ramifications?
Edited : IN VERY LARGE LETTERS, NO TALKING ABOUT RELIGION IN THIS CONVERSATION.
Since we are only a few years (10-20) away from this happening. I thought now would be a good time to discuss this.
How would physical immortality affect society, government, industry, relationships, war, funding for research, investments and investing, birth rates, the law, people psyches, what sort of people would become immortal if it was low cost and available to everyone, what sort of people would not become immortal, will there be a war between mortals and immortals. Would politicians continue down the same short sighted path, or would they take a longer view, and in the end would that be better or worse for the population at large.
We do not need to discuss population growth, exponential and exponential minus some (n) growth, leads to the planets "people limit" being exceeded within the same 5 year time period. We do how ever have to discuss how to slow down the birth rate through smart policies, education, and lifting people out of poverty,
I am giving a very short period to discussing immortality ... one month. Does anyone think we can get eternity right in that amount of time?
Closing Statement from David Fuchs
We live in an age that has linear growth in some areas and exponential growth in others. Growth of knowledge in biology is exponential. We have citizen scientists doing great science in back rooms and garages, adding to this growth of knowledge, and this trend towards more people doing biology and genetics will only grow as tools that are easier to use or more game like (http://fold.it) are developed. Robotic tools are also being developed, which will also accelerate our knowledge of biology and genetics, by allowing one person to do the work that would have required hundreds in the past.
Many of the points made here were valid, many were off topic, and many were a result of belief systems being threatened.
The good ...
Exponential population growth and exponential minus the death rate not being roughly equal long term (John Smith). That immortality could be a driving factor pushing us into space, colonizing the solar system and beyond (Dr Sivaram Hariharan). That some people might try to centralize power and control the rest of humanity. That perhaps people would grow up and begin taking the long view (online observer).

Dec 30 2012: until we solve disparity between the rich and the poor. The powerful and the weak. Living forever will just mean access to despots and tyrants to continue their reign of terror.
Every technology developed today shall be attained by the rich FIRST.
Second problem we'll face is quality of mental health at a prolonged age. Nature has given us a perfect balance between life and longevity. Creatures that live longer tend to have slower metabolism, while those that lives shorter burns themselves up in a flurry of activities.
To sustain continuous indefinite burning of energy would mean overwhelming consumption to keep up with the level of energy needs. So what's the worst case scenario?
1) Large businesses overtaking governments run by board of directors (elders) that maintains the reign of the company and the decision making.
2) The risk of nuclear warfare will be higher as despots built deeper bunkers with suppliers for them to wait out nuclear winters.
3) The rift between the poor and the rich will be even larger as the upper echelons of society forces their value system against the poor. At the end of the day, somebody has to do the job. It'll either be robots or the poor sods.
Frankly, I wouldn't want this to be unleashed to the world until we solve the problems that we face above.
Dec 30 2012: While the question was about physical immortality, and what will occur most people posting here didn't get it at all. Thanks. :)
I need to disagree with your conclusions.
"until we solve disparity between the rich and the poor. The powerful and the weak. Living forever will just mean access to despots and tyrants to continue their reign of terror. "
If you hadn't noticed things are about to get much cheaper and decentralized.
Energy is about to get much cheaper. So cheap in fact, that transporting the energy over the grid will cost more than the energy itself. Ruining a bunch of carbon based businesses.
Manufacturing will become more localized due to customization, automation, and transportation costs. This will end the majority of the world economy. Raw materials will be the only things traded..

St. Pete Woman In Custody
(St. Petersburg, FlA.)- The FBI has a 21-year-old St. Petersburg woman in custody who was wanted for the commercial sex trafficking of two 14-year old girls.
Investigators say Keosha Renee Jones advertised the girls on a website and made them perform sex acts at motels in Pinellas County. Jones kept the cash. The girls were runaways and told detectives they thought Jones would kill them if they didn't make money.
Agents say Jones surrendered to a Saint Petersburg Police Department Officer and members of the FBI Pinellas Office Child Exploitation Task Force.
