Type 1 DiabetesInsulin-dependent diabetes; Juvenile onset diabetes; Diabetes - type 1
Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong (chronic) disease in which thereisahigh level of sugar (glucose) in the blood.
Type 1 diabetes can occur at any age. It is most often diagnosed in children, adolescents, or young adults.
Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas by special cells, called beta cells. The pancreas is behind the stomach. Insulin is needed to move blood sugar (glucose) into cells. There, it is stored and later used for energy. In type 1 diabetes, beta cells produce little or no insulin.
Without enough insulin, glucose builds up in the bloodstream instead of going into the cells. The body is unable to use this glucose for energy. This leads to the symptoms of type 1 diabetes.
The exact cause of type 1 diabetes is unknown. Most likely it is an autoimmune disorder.This is a condition that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue. With type 1 diabetes, an infection or another trigger causes the body to mistakenly attack the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. Type 1 diabetes can be passed down through families.
High Blood Sugar
These symptoms may be the first signs of type 1 diabetes, or they may occur when blood sugar is high:
- Being very thirsty
- Feeling hungry
- Feeling tired all the time
- Having blurry eyesight
- Feeling numbnessor feeling tingling in your feet
- Losing weight without trying
- Urinating more often
For other people, these serious warning symptoms may be the first signs of type 1 diabetes, or they may happen when blood sugar is very high (diabetic ketoacidosis):
- Deep, rapid breathing
- Dry skin and mouth
- Flushed face
- Fruity breath odor
- Nausea or vomiting, inability to keep down fluids
- Stomach pain
Low Blood Sugar
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can develop quickly in people with diabetes who are taking insulin. Symptoms usually appear when blood sugar level falls below 70 mg/dL. Watch for:
- Headache
- Hunger
- Nervousness
- Rapid heartbeat (palpitations)
- Shaking
- Sweating
- Weakness
Exams and Tests
Diabetes is diagnosed with the following blood tests:
- Fasting blood glucose level -- diabetes is diagnosed if it is higher than 126 mg/dL two times
- Random (nonfasting) blood glucose level -- you may have diabetes if it is higher than 200 mg/dL, and you have symptoms such as increased thirst, urination, and fatigue (this must be confirmed with a fasting test)
- Oral glucose tolerance test -- diabetes is diagnosed if the glucose level is higher than 200 mg/dL 2 hours after drinking a special sugar drink
- Hemoglobin A1C test -- 6.5% or higher
Ketone testing is also sometimes used. The ketone test is done using a urine sample or blood sample. Ketone testing may be done:
- When the blood sugar is higher than 240 mg/dL
- During an illness such as pneumonia, heart attack, or stroke
- When nausea or vomiting occur
- During pregnancy
The following tests or exams will help you and your doctor monitor your diabetes and prevent problems caused by diabetes:
- Check the skin and bones on your feet and legs.
- Check to see if your feet are getting numb.
- Have your blood pressure checked at least every year (blood pressure goal should be 140/80 mm/Hg or lower).
- Have yourA1C test (Hemoglobin A1C) done every 6 months if your diabetes is well controlled; otherwise, every 3 months.
- Have your cholesterol and triglyceride levels checked yearly (aim for LDL cholesterol levels below 70-100 mg/dL).
- Get yearly tests to make sure your kidneys are working well (microalbuminuria and serum creatinine).
- Visit your eye doctor at least once a year, or more often if you have signs of diabetic eye disease.
- See the dentist every 6 months for a thorough dental cleaning and exam. Make sure your dentist and hygienist know that you have diabetes.
Because type 1 diabetes can start quickly and the symptoms can be severe, people who have just been diagnosed may need to stay in the hospital.
If you have just been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, youmay need tohave a checkup each week until you have good control over your blood sugar. Your health care provider will review the results of your home blood sugar monitoring and urine testing. Your provider will also look at your diary of meals, snacks, and insulin injections. It may take a few weeks to match the insulin doses to your meal and activity schedule.
As the disease gets more stable, you will have fewer follow-up visits. Visiting your health care provider is very important so you can monitor any long-term problems from diabetes.
You are the most important person in managing your diabetes. You should know the basic steps to diabetes management:
- How to recognize and treat low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
- How to recognize and treat high blood sugar (hyperglycemia)
- Diabetes meal planning
- How to give insulin
- How to check blood glucose and urine ketones
- How to adjust insulin and food when you exercise
- How to handle sick days
- Where to buy diabetes supplies and how to store them
Insulin lowers blood sugar by allowing it to leave the bloodstream and enter cells. Everyone with type 1 diabetes must take insulin every day.
Insulin must be injected under the skin using a syringe, insulin pen or pump. It cannot be taken by mouth because the acid in the stomach destroys insulin.
Insulin types differ in how fast they start to work and how long they last. The health care provider will choose the best type of insulin for you and will tell you at what time of day to use it.Sometypesof insulin may be mixed together in an injection to get the best blood glucose control. Other types of insulin should never be mixed. You may need insulin shots from one to four times a day.
Your health care provider or diabetes nurse educator will teach you how to give insulin injections. At first, a child's injections may be given by a parent or other adult. By age 14, most children can give their own injections.
People with diabetes need to know how to adjust the amount of insulin they are taking:
- When they exercise
- When they are sick
- When they will be eating more or less food and calories
- When they are traveling
By testing their blood sugar level, people with type 1 diabetes learn which foods and activities raise or lower their sugar level most. This helps them adjust their insulin doses to specific meals or activities to prevent blood sugar from becoming too high or low.
The American Diabetes Association and the American Dietetic Association have information for planning healthy, balanced meals. It can help to talk with a registered dietitian or nutrition counselor.
Regular exercise helps control the amount of sugar in the blood. It also helps burn extra calories and fat to reach a healthy weight.
Talk toyour health care provider before starting any exercise program. People with type 1 diabetes must take special steps before, during, and after physical activity or exercise.
Checking your blood sugar levelyourself and writing down the results tells you how well you are managing your diabetes. Talk to your doctor and diabetes educator about how often to check.
To check your blood sugar level, you use adevice called a glucose meter. Usually, you prick your finger with a small needle called a lancet to get a tiny drop of blood. You place the blood on a test strip and put the strip into the meter. The meter gives you a reading that tells you the level of your blood sugar.
Keep a record of your blood sugar for yourself and your doctor or nurse. The numberswill help if you have problems managing your diabetes. You and your doctor should set a target goal for your blood sugar level at different times during the day. You should also plan what to do when your blood sugar is too low or high.
Low blood sugar is called hypoglycemia. Blood sugar levels below 70 mg/dL are too low and can harm you.
People with diabetes are more likely than those without diabetes to have foot problems. Diabetes damages the nerves. This can make you less able to feel pressure on the foot. You may not notice a foot injury until you get a severe infection.
Diabetes can also damage blood vessels. Small sores or breaks in the skin may become deeper skin sores (ulcers). The affected limb may need to be amputated if these skin ulcers do not heal or become larger, deeper, or infected.
To prevent problems with your feet:
- Stop smoking if you smoke.
- Improve control of your blood sugar.
- Get a foot exam by your health care provider at least twice a year and learn whether you have nerve damage.
- Check and care for your feet every day. This is very important when you already have nerve or blood vessel damage or foot problems.
- Make sure you wear the right kind of shoes. Ask your health care provider what is right for you.
Your doctor may prescribe medicines or other treatments to reduce your chance of developing eye disease, kidney disease, and other conditions that are common in people with diabetes. These conditions are called complications of diabetes.
Support Groups
There are many diabetes resources that can help you understand more about type 1 diabetes. You can also learn ways to manage your condition so that you can live well with diabetes.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Diabetes is a lifelong disease and there is no cure.
Tight control of blood glucose can prevent or delay diabetes complications. But these problemscan occur, even in people with good diabetes control.
After many years, diabetes can lead to other serious problems:
- You could have eye problems, including trouble seeing (especially at night) and sensitivity to light. You could become blind.
- Your feet and skin could develop sores and infections. If you have these sores for too long, your foot or leg may need to be amputated. Infection can also cause pain and itching.
- Diabetes may make it harder to control your blood pressure and cholesterol. This can lead to heart attack, stroke, and other problems. It can become harder for blood to flow to the legs and feet.
- Nerves in the body can become damaged, causing pain, tingling, and numbness.
- Because of nerve damage, you could have problems digesting the food you eat. You could feel weakness or have trouble going to the bathroom. Nerve damage can also make it harder for men to have an erection.
- High blood sugar and other problems can lead to kidney damage. The kidneys may not work as well as they used to. They may even stop working so that you need dialysis or a kidney transplant.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call 911 if you have:
Call your health care provider or go to the emergency room if you have symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis.
Also call your doctor if you have:
- Blood sugar levels that are higher than the goals you and your doctor have set
- Numbness, tingling, or pain in your feet or legs
- Problems with your eyesight
- Sores or infections on your feet
- Symptoms that your blood sugar is getting too low (feeling weak or tired, trembling, sweating, feeling irritable, having trouble thinking clearly, fast heartbeat, double or blurry vision, feeling uneasy)
- Symptoms that your blood sugar is too high (being very thirsty, having blurry vision, having dry skin, feeling weak or tired, needing to urinate a lot)
- You are having blood sugar readings below 70 mg/dL
You can treat early signs of hypoglycemia at home by eating sugar or candy, or by taking glucose tablets. If signs of hypoglycemia continue or your blood glucose level stays below 60 mg/dL, go to the hospital emergency room.
Type 1 diabetes cannot be prevented. There is no screening test for type 1 diabetes in people who have no symptoms.

Brevard, N.C. - The Tornados surrendered a late lead in the fifth and final set in Boshamer Gymnasium on Tuesday night against Queens University of Charlotte, and fell in heartbreaking fashion as the Royals recorded the final five points of the set, closing the match on Lindsey Everhart's service ace as Brevard fell 25-18, 16-25, 25-16, 22-25, 15-13.
Lindsey Rogers led the way for Brevard (3-6) with 24 digs as the Tornados saw five players achieve double-figures in the defensive category as the team recorded 80 digs, the first time BC has broken the 80 mark since November 6, 2009 against Mars Hill. Kortney Conner recorded the double-double on the day with 11 kills and 14 digs, while Ashlie Morrison recorded a team high 16 kills in the match. Bethany Stevenson added 34 set assists and 14 digs, while Sydney Yeomans (12) and Jamie Atkinson were also in double-digits.
Queens (7-4) was led by a trio of hitters as Brittany Harvey led the Royals attack with 11 kills in the match. Brittney Barren and Keri Kemp both contributed 10 kills apiece while Jocelyn Kellinger had a team high 24 digs on the back line. Everhart, in addition to her game-clincher, recorded four service aces in the match and 18 digs, while Harren completed the double-double with ten digs of her own.
The Royals took control late in the first set behind a trio of Brevard attack errors as Queens went up 23-17 on Taylor Riley's serve. A kill by Kemp put the Royals within one point of the 1-0 lead, but Yeomans gave the serve back to the Tornados with a jumping kill from the back line. However, the rally was short-lived as Anna Gibbs followed with a kill of her own to close out the set 25-18 in favor of the guests.
A block by Gibbs and Kemp in the second set put the score at 17-16 in the second set in favor of the Tornados, and Brevard used back-to-back kills by Conner to go up 19-16 as BC rode an 8-0 run on Atkinson's serve, capped by kills by Yeomans and Conner to knot the match up following the 25-16 set victory.
In the third set, Queens jumped ahead early, recording 10 of the first 11 points in the match and was able to stave off the comeback in going up 2-1 with the 25-16 set victory.
Queens again jumped out to an early lead in the fourth set, scoring the first four points, but the Tornados tied the set up on a pair of service aces by Yeomans as the score went back and forth before Brevard took control late in the match following a pair of kills by Morrison to give the Tornados the 23-20 advantage. Though Tori Hernandez connected on a kill for the Royals to cut into the lead, Brevard was able to close out the set on back-to-back kills by Morrison to set the game into the deciding fifth set.
Behind a pair of kills by Jordei Osby, the Tornados held the advantage at the midway point of the set as the teams switched sides with BC up 8-6. However, the turning point of the set came on a kill by Everhart, cutting the lead back to 12-10 and following a kill by Morrison, Queens closed out the set with the final five points of the match to stun the crowd and end the game.
Brevard returns to South Atlantic Conference play as they travel to Wingate, N.C. to take on Wingate University on Thursday, September 22nd. First serve between the Tornados and the Bulldogs is set for 7 p.m.

"I ordered these in gold and a light pink, with different colors representing alternate meal choices. I was so impressed with the paper quality and the print on these. Not only that, but I'm really picky about paper I write on because I'm left handed and things I write always smear. The paper absorbed the ink quickly and they looked absolutely flawless. The gold is metallic, which I was worried about. Sometimes a non metallic gold color can look flat and icky, but it truly was a sparkly gold! Loved everything about them, and so did guests! Most even took them home!"
"Designers were very helpful! Willing to add family passage to the back of our place cards and very fast delivery. Highly recommend!"
"I ordered these to go with the same style invitation and response cards (silver version). Very nice quality paper and graphics."
"These place cards had a simple design that nicely matched the invitations of the same style. Good product. I'm very satisfied."
"I love that the theme is so well represented on all the pieces of the suites. The tree tale is gorgeous. It is even more beautiful in person."

Keith Urban Fuse Debuts on TouchTunes
On September 10, 2013, country heavyweight Keith Urban's new album "Fuse" makes its debut on TouchTunes. An effort by the superstar to explore new musical territory, Urban explains that the inspiration for the album was "rhythms and sounds [he] wanted to hear fused together." Urban also added that "diversity" is the buzz-word for "Fuse" thanks to a broad array of songwriters and producers he worked with in Nashville and Los Angeles, including longtime collaborator Dann Huff, Nathan Chapman, Butch Walker, Mike Elizondo, Jay Joyce and Zach Crowell. The album features 13 new songs, including duets with Miranda Lambert and Eric Church. In support of the release, Keith Urban is currently performing on his Light the Fuse Tour 2013, which will end on February 1 at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena.

Giovanni Battista Bertani
(recto) Hercules Victorious over the Hydra; (verso) Study of Hercules, Roman soldier's head, ornaments
Giovanni Battista Bertani
Italian, 1516-1576
(recto) Hercules Victorious over the Hydra; (verso) Study of Hercules, Roman soldier's head, ornaments, ca. 1558
Pen and ink with traces of red chalk on paper
45.7 x 30.5 cm (18 x 12 inches)
Helen M. Danforth Acquisition Fund 65.078
An architect and writer, Giovanni Battista Bertani also drew and painted for the noble Gonzaga family of Mantua. This sheet was a preliminary sketch for the frontispiece of an architectural treatise Bertani dedicated to his patron, Cardinal Ercole (Hercules) Gonzaga (1505 —1563). The legendary Hercules's heavily muscled torso represents both his bodily strength and his strength of virtue, a metaphor flattering to Cardinal Gonzaga. Rather than rendering Hercules in action, Bertani depicted him as a motionless antique sculpture to reinforce his timeless heroism. Bertani used the sheet to practice many elements of the composition. At right, he sketched a preparatory study for Hercules's right leg. Above, he drew a winged female figure writing on an oval palette, a motif that appears in the final engraving made after the design by Giorgio Ghisi. Bertani's technique of reinforced contour lines and delicate, curved hatching reflects the influence of his predecessor in Mantua, the artist Giulio Romano (ca. 1499 —1546).

I already feel the breath of failure on my neck, aware that Rimbaud published his first immortal poem at 15.
But far and away the biggest problem was the later, turncoat Rimbaud, the angel who amputated his own wings.
Imagine, then, standing on this wind-swept height as Rimbaud did, almost out of your mind with the sheer power of your mind.
Rimbaud had nothing nice to say about it, having lived much of his life around there.
The whole poem marches: all of Rimbaud's poems march, and in les Illuminations there are marvelous belly dances.
Rimbaud, when right, is so because he cannot be bothered to exist in any other modality.
Tailhade has painted his "Vieilles Actrices" at greater length, but smiling; Rimbaud does not endanger his intensity by a chuckle.
There are possible grounds for comparisons of like sort between Rimbaud and Czanne.
The police came, and though Rimbaud defended and excused Verlaine, the latter was arrested.
But Rimbaud has not exhausted his idyllic moods or capacities in one poem.

My grand kids love it!
By Daisy and Charlie's grandpa
from Tyner, NC
Best Uses
My grand kids (3 and 1) absolutely love the log flume. They were a little timid at first but now they can't get enough. As soon as they wake up in the morning they beg my daughter to let them play on/in it. I love hearing them squeal with delight every time they splash into the pool. I will have wonderful memories to share with them when they're older.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Your kids will love it!
By momof4
from Boston, MA
We love this water slide, kids have a blast on it. Downside is once it's up, it's up. Too much work to disassemble to put away. Then leaving it out in the weather tends to make it dirty & it's hard to clean. The seams let go on our 1st slide & customer service was awesome about sending us a new one once we boxed up the old one & sent it back. Not really for kids over 10 only because slide doesn't hold up well with that kind of wear and tear. Also you have to run the water and blower the entire time slide is in use or pool doesn't stay full. Can add up to a lot of water if you run it for a couple of hours at a time.

Iron Deficiency
I am currently 33 wks pregnant and has a strong case of iron deficiency. I mostly faint and my blood pressure drops down. Back when I was still carrying my first child, I remember being treated by injecting Iron-sucrose by my Obstetrician. Now on my second, I was just advised to take time off from work already and take some over the counter iron supplements. My question is, what do I have to eat or what kinds of food do I have to eat to help me treat or remedy this iron deficiency that I have.
Thanks! Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Cristina,
I also dealt with iron deficiency during my first and second pregnancy. Try taking your iron supplement first thing in the morning, with something that offers a high source of vitamin C, such as orange juice. Vitamin C helps the body to absorb iron more effectively, dairy does just the opposite.
Make sure you are eating plenty of iron rich foods and whenever possible, pair those with a good source of vitamin C as well.
Some herbal remedies, such as Alfalfa are believed to raise iron levels as well. You can generally find dried and encapsulated quite easily.
Also, when it comes to over-the-counter iron supplements, Floradix comes highly recommended. It is more bio available than iron pills and less likely to cause stomach discomfort of constipation. Speaking of which, make sure you are getting plenty of water, as this will help to combat constipation and reduce your risk of developing hemorrhoids.

Hi Cristina,
You would probably greatly benefit by eating a lot of dark green leafy vegetables. Green smoothies can help you get more greens in your diet (greens have iron and lots of good vitamins and minerals).
I would also encourage you to take time off from work and relax more. You may also find that eating foods high in salt make you feel better and help to keep your blood pressure up. Foods that are natural in sodium are celery and tomatoes. I have low blood pressure too and I found that I could eat an entire can of olives at one sitting - I needed that salt.
Here's a video showing you how to make a green smoothie that's full of good nutrition for you and your baby.

Juicing greens is a good idea. You might want to look up for some recipes (you'd be surprised there are a lot). You would see how juicing can change your life. All you need is a good juicer to make you a delicious drink.

Every so often, an artist drops off the map. While so many others clamor toward the spotlight, those already there decide one day to simply step out of it. And so Greta Garbo hides herself away, J. D. Salinger runs visitors and journalists off his woodland property, Grigori Perelman stuns the world with his mathematical insight and then disappears into the night. But there's another version of going recluse, a version disappointingly suburban in nature: The creator who just stops creating, who fills her time with raising a family and the mundane matters of daily life. There's no cabin in the woods, no "I want to be alone" proclamation. They remain in plain sight, they just ... stop.
In Where'd You Go, Bernadette, Maria Semple asks a very interesting question about such a recluse: What do they do with all of that creative energy? And with Bernadette Fox, the titular protagonist, the answer is that the energy she once put toward the design and creation of innovative houses is now spent on her own destruction. Not in a clichéd haze of pills and booze; she instead becomes sour, fearful. The MacArthur genius grant fellow now spends her time ranting for hours about Seattle traffic and the mothers at her daughter Bee's private school. Fox doesn't much come out of her house anymore, and when she does, it's to destroy her neighbor's personal property in a petty feud. She posts Salinger-esque "No Trespassing" signs on the boundaries of her yard and jealously polices the property line. A colleague writes to her, "People like you must create. If you don't create, Bernadette, you will become a menace to society."
Bernadette Fox was, twenty years before we meet her, a promising, young architect. She was designing sustainably before anyone was green, we are told, and while she only ever created two buildings, she became widely influential. Her two creations were both houses. Her first solo project was an adaptive-reuse of a glasses factory, which she converted into her own private Los Angeles home. The second was a project called the Twenty Mile House. Starting with an empty lot, Fox declared to her collaborators and her contractors that no materials should be sourced from locations farther than twenty miles away. Materials were recycled, repurposed, rescued from dumpsters. The result: an eco-friendly house that feels "like walking into a big hug," and a new way of building without waste, as even the catalogs left behind in the factory were glued together to create chairs.
And then, due to a combination of bad luck, pride, and Fox's vindictive side, the house was destroyed before it could even be documented in photographs. The elusive house and the elusive architect became stuff of legend; Fox retreated to Seattle when her husband's tech company was sold to Microsoft. She never built another house and allowed the fixer-upper they moved into to fall apart around her. Her husband, Elgin Branch, a genius of his own sort, plays an interesting contrast to Fox. His creations are constantly used up and spat out by Microsoft. The tech he created for veterans with catastrophic injuries becomes just another video game toy at the company, and yet he still gets up every day, goes to work, and tries again. His frustration at the separation between the two of them spills out at one point. "What you went through with the Twenty Mile House—I go through shit like that ten times a day at Microsoft," Branch yells at her. "People get over things. It's called bouncing back ... Do you realize how selfish and self-pitying that is?"
It's easy to join Branch in wondering why Fox can't just get over the disappointment of a project gone wrong and start again. Or, it would be, if Semple didn't do such an insightful job in her book at showing how failure has a tendency to compound. When one setback follows another—a fall breaks a woman's leg, and another a week later snaps her crutch in half—a person of a certain temperament might take it as a sign that the gods didn't want her walking in the first place.

Quarles, Alfred Nelson
Birth Year : 1862
Death Year : 1944
Professor Alfred N. Quarles was a well-known musician and music director in Cincinnati, OH. He was born in Frankfort, KY, the son of Charleston and Mary E. Quarles. Alfred was a baby when the family moved to Cincinnati; they are listed in the 1870 U.S. Federal Census. Alfred Quarles was educated in Cincinnati schools, and he studied music at the College of Music - harmony, pipe organ, and voice and technique. He taught music in the Covington, KY, schools, and he gave private lessons. He was the organist and choir director at Allen Temple and was choir director at The St. John A. M. E. Zion Church. Quarles participated in and directed a number of performances at the Allen Temple church. He also performed at special events in and around Cincinnati. He was a member of the Orpheus Club, said to be the leading music organization in Cincinnati [source: "From the Queen City," Cleveland Gazette, 05/22/1886, p. 1]. In 1903, Alfred Quarles visited Maysville, KY, to assist with the closing exercises given at the opera house by the Maysville Colored High School. The cantata was a rendition of "Ruth the Moabitess," and Alfred Quarles had the role of Boaz [source: "Prof. A. N. Quarles of Cincinnati..." and "Ruth the Moabitess," both in the Daily Public Ledger, 06/11/1903, p. 1]. For more see Cincinnati's Colored Citizens, by W. P. Dabney.

Coffee drinker, prefer Pepsi and I'm kind of a big deal.
about time!!
If this isn't a disgrace on the British judicial system I don't know what is. About fuckin time they got sent down. The police and courts want to be ashamed.
How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies
after everything ive read about the case im suprised they got found guilty. that CSI that said that they messed up with storeing the evidence and could garantee its integrity is a re-trial waiting to happen imo. then public enemy numbers 1 and 2 walk away with millions each.
personally i find the whole thing very fishy,new forensics which werent available 18 years ago are what was used to convict them,not sayng they are innocent but its one of the cases where someone has to be convicted,if it was a white person I really dont think the media attention and slighlty (mabye) biased trial would be viewed the same and the original not guilty verdicts would have stuck.
Not being racist here im half black (thats not me in my avatar believe it or not lol)
I have a feeling they will win an appeal,its a tricky one and personally I dont agree with the double jeopardy rule .
Last edited by megs; 04-01-2012 at 02:48 PM.
I too have an uneasy feeling about the conviction. The 18 year delay, the double jeopardy, the poor way in which evidence was handled etc etc.
I would ban the triangle choke, the refuge of cowards everywhere.
If they had not been convicted there would have been riots. For them to have been found not guilty was inconceivable.
These blokes were utter maggots. The hidden camera footage of them showed that for all to see. But this was not true justice in my opinion. This was the courts bowing down to mob rule.
yeah the conviction seems more political than actual justice.
the video did show them as scumbags but it didnt show them as murders so why was it used to help convict them?
a expert claimed the evidence wasnt stored correctly and there was a possibility of it being contaminated at collection and possibly contamininated during storage.
and now the CPS are looking at the legnth of the charges because a member of the public complained they werent happy with the sentance.
these guys were never going to be found anything other than guilty.
Lawrences's blood was found on one of their shirts. While still circumstantial (I.e. how it got there) it is pretty damning.

While anger has a proper place in our lives, it is easy to get stuck in a cycle of escalating anger. This often happens because of things going on inside of us that we don't know how to work through on our own (and so we compensate, or cope, by getting angry). The good news is that regardless of what is fueling our anger, we are capable of building the necessary emotional muscles to work through those underlying issues, thus enabling us to control our anger healthily (instead of it controlling us). If you are struggling with anger I would be honored to help you make sense of, and work through, what is underneath it so that you can move towards more wholeness and peace in your life.

Sometimes publishers don't include all the articles from the print journal in the online version, or a whole issue is missing. Maybe you know we subscribe to an electronic journal but you just can't get into it. And sometimes whole databases experience technical difficulties.
Problems accessing content online occur much more frequently than we would like. But, fortunately, we're here to help!
Our first priority is to get you the content you need. If you have any problems, contact the reference desk at 656-2201 or email@example.com. If it is after reference desk hours (M-F, 10-4), you can contact the circulation desk at 656-2200, who will also try to assist you. If we can't access the content either, we will try to get it for you as quickly as possible through our Document Delivery and InterLibrary Loan departments.
The second step is to correct the problem so other people don't have a similar experience. We always report difficulties to our technical services department who works hard to resolve the problem with the publisher or vendor.
There's also something YOU can do: if you're having difficulties accessing articles, electronic journals, databases, or e-books, the Libraries want to hear from you. An online form allows you to report problems directly to the e-resource troubleshooting team, who will work to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.
Help us improve our services by reporting any and all problems you have!

So the saying goes, "It's good luck to have rain on your wedding day." Symbolically, rain signifies unity, which means that a stronger bond is created when you are "tying the knot" in the rain. Water makes a knot harder to untie compared to a dry one. Just think: Your bond will not easily be broken. Even though rain is never quite welcome, being prepared is key. Here's how you can keep dry with these rainy day wedding must-haves:
1. Rain boots: Treat your bridesmaids to a matching pair of rain boots that corresponds with their dress and don't forget to get a pair for you and your husband.

Serum globulin electrophoresisGlobulin electrophoresis
Serum globulin electrophoresis is a laboratory test that looks at proteins called globulins in the blood.
See also:
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
The blood sample is sent to a lab. The fluid part of blood (serum) is placed on specially treated paper and exposed to an electric current. The proteins move on the paper to form bands that show the amount of each protein fraction in relation to the other protein fractions.
How to Prepare for the Test
Fast for 4 hours before the test. The health care provider may advise you to stop taking drugs that can interfere with the test. Do NOT stop taking any medications without first telling your health care provider.
Drugs that can affect the measurement of serum proteins include chlorpromazine, corticosteroids, isoniazid, neomycin, phenacemide, salicylates, sulfonamides, and tolbutamide.
How the Test Will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the Test is Performed
This test is performed to look at globulin proteins in the blood. Identifying the types of globulins can help diagnose certain disorders.
Globulins are roughly divided into three groups: alpha, beta, and gamma globulins. Gamma globulines include various types of antibodies such as immunoglobulins (Ig) M, G, and A.
Certain diseases are associated with overproduction of immunoglobulins. For example, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia is a cancer of certain white blood cell that is associated with the overproduction IgM antibodies.
Normal Results
- Serum globulin: 2.0 to 3.5 g/dL
- IgM component: 75 to 300 mg/dL
- IgG component: 650 to 1850 mg/dL
- IgA component: 90 to 350 mg/dL
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples.Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Increased gamma globulin proteins may indicate:
- Acute infection
- Chronic inflammatory disease (for example, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus)
- Hyperimmunization
- Multiple myeloma
- Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

VVC Cocktail Lounge Field Trip: San Francisco
What goes better with a trip to San Francisco than a solo dining experience at Millennium? The answer is: nothing.
And what goes better with a solo dining experience at Millennium than a fancy twelve dollar cocktail? Again, nothing.
Out of the six featured cocktails on the list, I had to try the one that sounded the most outlandish. I mean of course something like the Broken Arrow would be good—with roasted anaheim chilie and cumin-infused tequila, fresh lime juice, cane syrup, orange liqueur and cumin salt/sugar rim on the rocks. BAM. Amazing. Or the Happy Boy–209 Gin, Muddled Lemon Verbana & Watermelon, Beet Puree, Lime Juice & Ginger Agave served up—of course that would be wonderful. I mean, it has watermelon in it.
But the Pied Piper—that one looked questionable. And because I knew—or hoped—that a drink that sounded so weird wouldn't make it on the menu if it also tasted weird, I ordered it.
The Pied Piper—Dorado 5 year Rum, Pomegranate Juice, Chai, Maple Syrup, Lemon Bitters, Snap Ginger-Molasses Liqueur, on the Rocks.
Upon first sip, I have to admit my first thought was, "Well, at least I have a straw and can suck it down fast enough to order another one."
Upon further sucking, though,I started really really enjoying the cocktail. It was bitter yet had a depth and sweetness. t took me about 30 minutes to finish it. After those 30 minutes, I was sold. Pied Piper—success!
Thank you, Millennium for broadening my drink horizons.
Oh, and then with dessert I had a glass of sparkling Rosé. Naturally.

TURIN, Italy -- It was one last chance to kick the hockey team.
One medal short. And it was hockey.
"We came into this thing thinking we'll have the big four in the bag and we only got three," said Canadian Olympic Committee CEO Chris Rudge of two hockey and two curling medals.
"One more medal from the sport Canadians have the greatest passion for ..."
Hockey would have done it. Hockey would have allowed Canada to reach the goal of 25 medals at Torino 2006 instead of ending up one short at 24.
Instead of one last kick at the hockey team before heading out of here, I suggested to Rudge at Canada's Games-ending evaluation press conference that maybe Wayne Gretzky's gang not making the medal round was a good thing for sport in Canada.
Maybe because of what happened here, we took a large leap toward growing up as a sport nation. Maybe there's more to us heading home from here than a bunch of puck heads. Maybe we can celebrate four medals on the same day we're holding a funeral for our hockey team.
Maybe any Olympic Winter Games in which Canada doesn't win gold in hockey isn't a lousy one. Maybe Cindy Klassen, Jenn Heil, Chandra Crawford, Duff Gibson, Brad Gushue, Clara Hughes, and the women's hockey team and all the rest of the successes can make Canada feel good about itself, even without a hockey gold.
"You know, on the day the hockey team lost and we won four medals, I was worried about three pages of coverage in the newspapers of why we lost in hockey and no coverage of our best day at the Olympics. I was pleasantly surprised it didn't work that way," said Rudge.
Seven gold. Ten silver. Seven bronze.
Canada won more medals in more sports than any other country. We also had more fourth-place finishes than any other nation.
Much was made of Canada's pathetic conversion rate of 27% of athletes and teams ranked in the top three at Salt Lake 2002.
These Olympics there were 57 of those to convert into medals and 22 converted. That's 39%. Throw in Chandra Crawford's gold in cross-country and Anouk Leblanc-Boucher's bronze in short track - two medals which came out of nowhere - and you could make a case it was 42%.
That's where Canada succeeded at these Olympics - not with our position in the medal standings or the number of medals.
Winning seven gold medals didn't do it. Canada won seven gold in Salt Lake and six in Nagano. There's no improvement there.
And going from 17 medals to 24 represents a smaller jump than it appears if you consider four of them came from new events. And all those fourth-place finishes - which jumped from 11 to 13 as the Olympics concluded - kind of devalued some of the success we did enjoy. To think what could have been.
"We have to look at what we could have done to give more help to those athletes who finished fourth and fell short," said Rudge.
But on a bigger picture, to win 24 medals was a triumph. At the first Winter Olympics I covered in Sarajevo, we won four medals. At Calgary '88 we had five but no gold.
Yet Calgary '88 was a massive part of the success story here. Fifteen of those 24 medals came out of the legacy of those Olympics and the hot-housing of our cold-weather athletes.
Canada become a legitimate Winter Olympic force here - as we should be for a country with more square miles of snow than any other on the planet.
As the host nation heads to Vancouver 2010 - after becoming the only country to host Olympics of both the summer and winter varieties without winning a gold medal in either - that isn't likely to happen four years from now. In fact, that's where the focus will go from here, not so much to bring up the medal total dramatically but to bring up the gold medal total, said Rudge.
Gold medallists inspire youth and create dreams. And from Jenn Heil on opening day to Clara Hughes to close, Canadian youth had inspiration galore from these Olympics.
"Having Heil win a gold on the first day is something we've never had happen at the Olympics, summer or winter, before," said COC president Mike Chambers.
"And that last lap of Clara Hughes, that unbelievable last lap, then falling on the ice, leaving nothing in the tank ..."
That's the real success of what happened here. These Olympics produced more inspirational stories, more memorable moments and more Olympic dreams than any other in history for Canada.
And we didn't even make the medal round in hockey.

Coldplay celebrated their sixth album Ghost Stories at their iHeartRadio Album Release Party on Friday, May 16th at the iHeartRadio Theater Los Angeles.
The guys took to the stage in front of a packed house where they played songs from their brand new album, including "Magic," "True Love," and "A Sky Full of Stars" (which they literally played under a sky full of stars!). The band also performed a few Coldplay classics.

Andrew Lincoln Reveals His 'Walking Dead' Party Trick
Photo: Getty Images
By Sierra Marquina
Andrew Lincoln – Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead – phoned in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest to talk about the upcoming finale of the hit AMC show and the British actor revealed how he conquered that Southern accent.
As for the notion that someone is going to die during the finale, Andrew confirms with a laugh, "Yeah, it's a pretty safe bet" … although he wouldn't say exactly what does go down in the episode.
But he was game to give us the scoop on how he perfected Rick Grimes' Southern drawl.
"I'm a bit of a weirdo … I headed out three weeks before we started the first-ever episode and I went out and sort of went under cover and tried to orders coffees … in a dialect and then it became about fried chicken … and got more confident and after about two-and-a-half weeks, I had a passable accent and it's kind of stuck really," he shares.
Andrew goes on to say he also has a dialect coach who helps spell out the words, which he's turned into a game.
"As a party trick back in England, I give my old scripts to people who are half-drunk and they do the worst southern accent," he jokes.
Catch The Walking Dead Season 4 finale on AMC on Sunday, March 30, at 9 p.m.

Pioneer on Ĺwhitenessĺ joins USC History Center
By Peggy Binette, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-5400
A scholar and pioneer in the study of whiteness has joined the University of South Carolina History Center as its first distinguished visiting professor.
David Roediger, a historian from the University of Illinois, is spending the semester teaching, conducting research and exploring how notions about race are created. Roediger argues that racial categories don't simply include non-white peoples and that whiteness itself is a racial category.
"The idea that white people have a racial identity that is not simply the norm helps us to understand why political alliances and social structures form as they do, often uniting the rich and poor within races," Roediger said.
Roediger said his interest in whiteness emerged from his training in African American history.
"I was trained in African-American history and have always regarded the critical studies of whiteness as part of ethnic studies, beginning with slave folktales about whites and with Indian stories making sense of settlers," Roediger said. "Today, as well, the leading studies of whiteness are again done in ethnic studies and with great attention to the fact that nobody is only one thing – that whites are also divided by class, gender, sexuality, religion and more."
Larry Glickman, chairman of USC's history department, said Roediger's research has spurred debate.
"His research has produced useful debate about how to historicize concepts that we think of as natural," said Glickman. "Categories of race aren't clear, and they change over time. Take the Irish, who were not considered white until after the Civil War. David Roediger's research and teaching open up a whole new world that is particularly exciting for how broad categories of race develop over time. It is a provocative and important dialogue."

Oil prices rise
with demand
The price of oil closed above $96 Friday after the government said the economy added 175,000 jobs last month, a good sign for fuel demand. Benchmark oil for July delivery gained $1.27, or 1.3 percent, to finish at $96.03 a barrel. Oil ended the week with a gain of 4.4 percent.
Shares up for
