Lisa Raitt Debacle: A Product Of CPoC's Nomination Process?
...[i]nvestigators might possibly find it useful to also probe Toronto city councillors and mayor Miller about Ms. Raitt's tenure at THC.
(Note: THC=Toronto Harbour Commission, precurser to the TPA=Toronto Port Authority)
And, just this morning, former MP Joe Hueglin weighed in, blaming the current debacle on the CPoC's penchant for "top down governance":
Though there were several candidates who had been cleared to stand for nomination, though there were requests the Nomination Meeting be held from the EDA it was not.
Rather than this Lisa Riatt was named as candidate through application of the Conservative Party of Canada Candidate Nomination Rules and Procedures Section 8 b., APPENDIX B...
Some would consider the decision made by the hierarchs as an error based not only on current misadventures but on questions as to whether she would have passed the test to be able to stand for nomination due to questions raised concerning her conduct in the position from which she has taken a leave of absence.
I notice that the TPA scandal continues to percolate, and threatens to draw in Transport Minister John Baird. Looks like some of these Tory rebs from days gone by might have had a point about ignoring the wisdom of the CPoC grass-roots.

"the words of Charles Conn, Reform Party candidate for the riding of Mississauga West back in 1993, now seem prescient:
...[i]nvestigators might possibly find it useful to also probe Toronto city councillors and mayor Miller about Ms. Raitt's tenure at THC."
Is 1993 the correct date? That was a long time ago & I think it's too long ago. - 7:02 AM
- bigcitylib said...
Its correct:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississauga_West - 7:05 AM
- penlan said...
I didn't realize that Raitt had headed the THC since 1993 until she left for Halton Con run. Unless I'm misreading something here.
- bigcitylib said...
No. Conn was candidate for Miss. in 1993. That's what I was trying to say.
- penlan said...
Ok. So I got it all wrong. Maybe I need more coffee. ;)

I've read the bitches and complaints about the TPA, and the response, which is, ironically, penned with the support of Warren Kinsella's firm.
Seems like it's much ado about nothing.. and if we want to talk about "top down" governance ignoring democratic process, we don't need to go back in history, we can view he annointment of Michael Ignatieff as "king" of the Liberals.
Though - I'll tell you this, if Raitt has done anything demonstrably stupid, it's hiring Ralston MacDonnell's daughter to be her aide.
I mean, if we want to dredge up the past, go do some googling on MacDonnell and the "Digby Wharf" fiasco. 1999, who was it, oh yes, Jean Chretien doling out taxpayer dollars to his friends for questionable results.. huh.. where did I hear about that sort of thing happening before?? - 9:55 AM
- bigcitylib said...
Rob, the TPA stuff has been floating around for several years now, with no real result. O. Chow is really just going for the pile-on, although the TPA dissident board members have been themselves trying to keep things alive with their secret letters and so on.
- Jon Pertwee said...
It's only an outrage for Roblaw if it is the Liberals on the receiving end. Seriously, Rob drinks the blue Kool Aid heartily and then believes that people view his opinion as fact. It's too bad that often his conclusions are so vaguely connected that they could be used to connect anything. Take a look on his blog of how he uses a comment thread in a blog to show how the left is trying to control education. Classic tinfoil material.
- Jon Pertwee said...
"I've read the bitches and complaints about the TPA, and the response, which is, ironically, penned with the support of Warren Kinsella's firm."
Please outline the irony. Did Kinsella overbill the TPA then get investigated himself before this ? That would be ironic. So far you haven't proven irony.
As for dredging up the past, one need not go further back than Brian Mulroney. Though it doesn't help your argument hence why you omit it from your argument.
BTW Rob, how much do you bill your clients when you're on the blogs? - 1:54 PM
- Jim said...
Gee, wasn't Iggy parachuted into his riding...from the USA?
Then, wasn't he acclaimed as leader instead of being elected in a democratic fashion?
Yeah, lets talk about nomination processes and the way leaders are chosen.
This should be good! - 2:08 PM
- Some said...
Yeah Jim, this should be good. What about who funded Harper's leadership drive for the Canadian Alliance leadership? Was it the GOP, Satan or Carrot Top? He still hasn't answered that question. Yes Jim, this should be good to hear how Dear Leader got his job
- Jim said...
Go ahead and deflect my point, I would expect nothing less.
At least the membership had a say in Harper's leadership. Your guy...not so much.
The point still stands, sorry if it stings a litte. - 2:43 PM
- Jim said...
Oh and BTW, to some Canadians, Power Corp is Satan.
They are still the folks that pull the strings in the Liberal Party, right? - 2:46 PM
- Ti-Guy said...
Christ, Conservatives have such on over-inflated sense of importance.
Can all of you just choke on your bile already and shut the hell up? You all sound like everybody's obnoxious brother-in-law. - 5:07 PM

Generally, those seeking a Private Rehab in Arkansas for substance abuse are looking for certain things that cannot be found in a typical residential drug or alcohol treatment facility. A private rehab is considered one that is usually fully or partially covered by private insurance, or will be mostly paid for out-of-pocket. In addition, almost all private rehabs generally try and stay away from the "clinical" hospital feel found in other programs. So, whether you are looking for Private Alcohol Rehab Centers in Arkansas, Private Drug Rehabilitation in Arkansas or the best drug rehab center in Arkansas there are a few things to consider.
The most important thing to understand is that you have choices in choosing any type of Luxury or Private Rehab in Arkansas.
Luxury Rehab in Arkansas: These types of facilities are considered very high end facilities. The amenities may include a private room, luxurious settings, sober companions, as well as non-standard program enhancements. It is not uncommon to find equine therapy, yoga, or even gourmet chefs within a luxury rehab. In addition, the clients are usually not required to perfom "chores" as is standard in non-luxury rehabs. A Luxury Rehab in Arkansas is generally more expensive than a run of the mill treatment center.
Non-traditional Rehab in Arkansas: The majority of treatment facilities found in Arkansas are considered to be standard 28-day 12-step model (or Minnesota model) facilities. Although effective for many people, there are those who do not feel comfortable in a traditional 12-step environment, and are seeking other means to recover. A Cognitive, Holistic, or even Faith-based facility could fall into the category of a non-traditional rehab. Generally speaking non-traditional rehabs are not covered by insurance, although there are some exceptions.
Enhanced traditional facility in Arkansas: These types of facilities may contain a traditional 12-step approach, but may incorporate many additional aspects to their program. In additoin, an enhanced traditional facility may have a higher degree of client specific customization. In other words, they may try and stay away from the "cookie cutter" approach found in other programs.
Ultra Private Rehab in Arkansas: Although every rehab facility must follow confidentiality laws, there are those that do not wish to attend a treatment facility with a large population of clients. An ultra-private facility has an enhanced foxus on guarding the individual privacy of their clients. Generally, these types of programs have a very limited number of beds (5-10), but have a very high professional to client ratio. In some cases, the number of doctors is greater than the actual clients.
Using a database of treatment centers, we can offer free advice to those seeking help for their addictions and would like more information on various Private Rehabs in Arkansas.
Fill out the following form to the best of your ability to determine which of the thousands of treatment facilities is best for you or your loved one.

Shiseido spf 55 pa+++ isthe only one i swear by…
I love Kiehl's Creme de Corps Lightweight Body Lotion SPF 30!! It's light with an SPF of 30, but very moisturizing, and has a hint of scent that smells like coconut!
I 'm going to get serious criticism for this , but I very rarely use sunscreen . Especially not when I'm at home in Canada 🙂
Doesn't matter how cloudy and cold the weather tends to be up here in Canada the majority of the year, you really need sunscreen! I don't wear sunscreen if I'm only at home all day and getting no more than like, 20 minutes of partial and random sun exposure, but if I'll be leaving the house for more than half an hour, even if I'm spending most of my time indoors after leaving the house, I'd wear sunscreen.
I don't currently have one, though, for my face or my body. I can't find any good large sunscreen bottles for the body that contain zinc oxide, they all seem to be chemical only. And I'd rather not be forced to reapply every two hours on a normal day. And I haven't found one for my face that contains zinc and that doesn't break me out or make me shiny. Uhg.
Any Shiseido face/body lotion sunscreen!!
Have you tried the clinique sunscreen for the face?
I have! I've had no problems using it (oily, kind of acne prone skin) although I've heard that it can sting really sensitive skin.
I use neutrogena sunscreen. Very light weight and dries quick. Never feel sticky! Spf 45 is what I am using, but they are also available in spf 60. Combat both UVA/UVB!
i love neutrogena too! its one of the best i think and its very inexpensive. now they even have an SPF 90
yeah i used to love their sunscreen too, but then i found out that they test on animals.. guess i'll have to find a new HG sunscreen
I'm currently using Sheseido Extra Smooth Sun Protection Lotion. I was using Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunblock, but the controversy of Oxybenzone made me toss it.
I love cliniques sunscreen! it leaves a non greasy feel and doesnt break me out! I use the spf 50 face lotion everyday 🙂
Because I'm so fair and I get bad heat rash (I've been told the kind I get is probably the sunscrean reacting with the sun and my skin, which causes a lot of redness and big tender itchy welts), so i have to use senstitive sunscreen, I was recommended Piz Buin Allergy SPF 50. I tried it last weekend and it was brilliant, no lumps, redness or itching.
i know the question was about body sunscreen, but for my face I've just recieved Elizabeth Arden 8 hour sun defence cream SPF 50 in the post, which is oil free as I have spot prone skin, so I'm quite interested to try that out.
My favourtie is: "La Roche Posay Anthelios Spray Ip30"
Michelle Phan has her IQQU sunscreen which is apparently amazing and you can wear it over top of makeup and reapply without messing your makeup up obviously it's for the face (I'm sure you can use it on the body?)
But otherwise I ADORE Hawaiian Tropics LOTION sunscreen in the cream coloured bottle. It smells amazing and doesn't feel like sunscreen when you put it on and moisturizes your skin! It's glorious and it's not suuuper expensive!
aveeno's continous protection! it's amaaazing!
kinda thick but after it melts in it's great!
my cousins even noticed how non greasy and non sticky it was just make sure to rub in well.
it's spf 100 too!
well i use olay regenerating lotion with spf50..non-greasy..2 thumbs up for this innovative product:)
but i wonder if i can also use it as body lotion due to its spf50 content?anyone who wants to share opinions on this matter
I'm sure you could, though it would be pricey!
I use Aveda's Daily Light Guard with SPF 15.. I don't actually use it every day, but just when I'm on vacation and in the summer. I actually really like it because it doesn't have a sunscreen-y feel, and I like the Aveda scent 🙂
I love La Roche-Posay sunscreen in SPF 60. It's lightweight, non-greasy, and very long lasting.
The whole Lancaster Tan activating range! AMAZING stuff! A shimmery, silky lotion that makes my milky white skin tan in NO time, without ANY redness. Pricey, but definatly worth it!
I use Aveeno baby SPF55 and then layer that with Neutrogena SPF70. I find that since baby sunscreen is thin it blends better, plus my derm gave me a sample so I assume its okay 🙂
coppertone is the best 🙂
I don't use any but I am looking into facial sunscreen atm!
Christine I have a dark skin tone, would it be okay to use SPF40 everyday even though the weather is constantly changing where I live? Or is it too much? Thanks! 🙂
STill looking for recommendations, since everything's breaking my skin out! Right now, I've settled for mixing a TINY amount of Cetaphils SPF 50 with my Clinique moisturizer in the morning. If i use too much, I break out, but if i use a teeny amount, the moisturizer helps me cover my whole face with it, and I can use it on my body, since I don't really care about getting infections/irritations anywhere but my face.
very rarely use it lol its cold in england!

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Vivariums and Reptiles
- - 10 or 20 gallon setup
10 or 20 gallon setup This summer I am planning to build a vivarium for my girlfriend's dorm next year. I'm hoping to use a 20 gal but they may have a limit of 10. It's going to have about 2-4 inches of water and the rest will be planted soil above. I was wondering for ideas of what to put in it. My girlfriend isn't terribly familiar with care for these things so it needs to be something hardy. I'll probably be the one doing most of the maintenance when I'm there. It also needs to be something that can handle being moved since I'll need to take it back over summers and during winter break. She seems to have a frog in mind but she also said she doesn't want to have to feed it crickets. Anyone have any suggestions of what would do well in a tank of that size? |
Your options are going to be very limited due to size of the tank and her unwillingness to feed crickets. A vivarium situation is most suited for amphibians, and the main diet of amphibians is live bugs... there's not any way to get around that. It's not just a matter of what they will take, but also about nutrition to keep them alive and healthy. Even frogs would have a limited selection of anything that can live in a 10 gallon tank for long... dart frogs would be the only thing I can come up with off the top of my head, and then maybe only 2 - 3 of them... not the easiest thing to care for. They have very specific requirements, and because of their size they need live wingless fruitflies for food, and those are something you get the pleasure of raising yourself... lol. Humidity has to be controled for them, too... and very little water other than misting frequently. I'm wondering how you're planning to seperate water from dirt in such a small tank? There would have to be some kind of solid partition between the 2 so that the dirt doesn't fall down into and contaminate the water. Once it gets wet, the water will turn to mud, so it would have to be perfectly sealed to keep the soil and water from mixing. Then there is the added maintenance anytime an animal goes from dirt to water... again turning that water to mud. What you are wanting to create can be done, but not easily and not easy maintenance in a 10 gallon tank. You won't have the length to pull it off without creating a mess... I know cuz I've tried it many times. Now, if you were willing to swap the mud for gravel, large stuff works really well for this, then work with bog and pond type plants... you could use a divider without the worry of sealing it off so tightly, without the mess, and a way to add a filtration unit. Something like a small Whisper 10i, or the 5i, rocks built around it to hide it along one side of the tank, rocks down to the bottom to keep gravel away from the intake... submersible so goes right down into the water... gravel around the rock to help hide it more... and you have a small waterfall which will help keep the whole thing clean. Just be sure to seal it well wherever cords will need to run out from under the cover, as amphibians are escape artists. With all of that in mind, then you could add a small heater (something made for a bowl and preset, so it's small and not too powerful for not much water) and you'd have a nice habitat for dwarf frogs, and then she only has to feed black worms, they stay under the water, and are compatible with most fish. Or... you could skip having the water other than in a dish buried in the dirt to hide it well, and get my daughter's favorite pet... a madigascar giant millipede. They eat rotten fruit and veggies, so easy to toss salad scraps to them. Water dish needs to be shallow so they don't drown in it, and they need to be misted a few times/day, but pretty easy to keep. Those are about the only 2 things I can think of that would do well in a 10 gallon vivarium set up and won't require crickets for a diet. Have yoy considered just making it a full blown aquarium and buying her a few fish instead? Moving it wouldn't have to be hard... drain the water into a bucket, put fish and plants into the bucket, air stone if you're going more than 30 minutes away, leave gravel in tank, and out it goes. Get it home and put 1/2 the water back in, then the fish, then fill it up and add plants and you're done. Hope this helps! |
I have the creation part worked out, as well as seperating dirt from water. I've done that before at work. I'm just trying to figure out something to put in it. She seems to not want to have to deal with live food which I told her before is going to be a challenging issue. I'm planning to build one with a 40 gallon breeder later on for myself and that should be a bit easier to work with. She may just end up with a cool looking planted tank and no live creatures. |
Let her know she's not going to find any animals to put into something like that and still avoid live foods... you can do just a planted tank that way... that would be about your only option unless you put fish into the water side... which would require a filter. Have you considered maybe a betta in the water end, if its deep enough? |
I hadn't even thought about a betta, they don't require a lot of water. I've got a filter worked into the design and a way to block the fish from getting to it. I may actually go that root. I wouldn't have to worry so much about working a lid into it then either which would leave more space for the plants to grow. That's a pretty good idea, she likes colorful things ha. |
Glad I could help. If you're going that route, maybe consider researching the natural habitat and working those plants into your design? You could make a nice little betta biotope situation if you did your research... if you need help, let me know... |
whats her issue with live food? handing it? killing something? buying? I ask because, if she doesnt want to handle crickets, you can always get a cricket keeper. it has tubes the crickets climb up inside to hide. when you want to feed you just shake the tube into the tank. just a thought :) I do like your biotope idea, provided the betta had some swimming room. Its a brilliant idea! could we talk you into a picture diary of its creation? |
How about a large hermit crab on the land portion? |

I wish I could say I've been amazed by how a few of our so-called mainstream media mention the war criminals who have been prosecuted for waterboarding by the U.S. justice system instead of parroting the "ticking time bomb" since torture… uh, crimes against humanity… uh, harsh/enhanced interrogation was not used before 9/11 attacks.
McClatchy's Jonathan Landay was prescient about the fact the administration authorized harsh interrogation in April and May of 2002 well before the Justice Department had rendered any legal opinion and its principal priority for intelligence was not aimed at pre-empting another terrorist attack on the U.S. but discovering a smoking gun linking Iraq and al-Qa'ida.
According to former Colin Powell aide Lawrence Wilkerson, "So furious was this effort that on one particular detainee, even when the interrogation team had reported to Cheney's office that their detainee 'was compliant' (meaning the team recommended no more torture), the VP's office ordered them to continue the enhanced methods. The detainee had not revealed any al-Qa'ida-Baghdad contacts yet. This ceased only after Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, under waterboarding in Egypt, 'revealed' such contacts. Of course later we learned that al-Libi revealed these contacts only to get the torture to stop."
(Incidentally, al-Libi just committed suicide in Libya. Interestingly, several U.S. lawyers working with tortured detainees were attempting to get the Libyan government to allow them to interview al-Libi.)
Still I am not amazed Stephen F. Hayes and the rest of the Right Wing Noise Machine believe our formerly always hiding VP Dick Cheney is winning the debate despite our nation's loss of honor, credibility, and moral high ground.
Dick Cheney's legacy tour is stirring up a lot of strong feelings and dark humor. For the last three weeks Glenn Beck and the GOP water carriers have been playing what did Nancy Pelosi "know and when did she know it" instead of questioning the veracity of our CIA. Especially since former Senator Bob Graham and Newsmax.com have chronicled errors in the CIA briefing reports about when and what our legislators were told.
Yet Rush Limbaugh claims the Democrats have watered down (pun unintended) the definition of torture like the members of NOW changed the definition of domestic violence. And his sidekick Sean Hannity uses a football to express his love of our Constitution.
Elizabeth Cheney, the daughter of the former vice president and a former State Department official, made a round of cable television appearances this week to defend her father's belief in waterboarding with the tortured logic that US soldiers receive the same treatment during training.
Talk radio's Laura Ingraham suggests that the popularity of the television show 24 is all the information needed to justify torture. Yet John McCain, her party's last standard-bearer, disagrees with the fiction.
Left-leaning Lawerence O'Donnell dismisses Dick Cheney's speeches and mentions the fact that torture… uh, crimes against humanity… uh, harsh/ enhanced interrogation was not used even after the one month early, 12 noon delivery of the 3am wake-up call which came in the form of the August 6, 2001 PDB (Presidential Daily Briefing) which was titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in USA."

text: Marissa Mayer Explains Why Having To-Dos Is Better than Finishing ThemAlan Henry12/10/13 5:00amFiled to: productivityorganizationto-dosto-do listspriorities143EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkMost of us stress out about cleaning off our to-do lists, and that's natural. After all, why jot it down if you didn't want to get it done, right? Marissa Mayer, however, Yahoo's CEO and former Google executive, explains that sometimes it's making the list and prioritizing it that's important—not finishing.Granted, not all of us have the same kind of workload that someone like Mayer likely has, but that doesn't make our to-dos any less important to us. She explains something we've mentioned in passing before, that priority is important for your to-do list—sometimes more important than the to-dos. From an interview that Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff held with Mayer in November: She said, 'Look, I just make a to-do list every day in priority order from most important to least important and celebrate the fact that I'd never get to the bottom of it, because if I did, I would have spent a bunch of time doing relatively unimportant things.'I thought that was really profound; a lot of people say, 'Gosh, I'd never get it all done', and when they see all the work they could never get done, they get really overwhelmed by it. But the other thing you could do is just embrace it.Our friends at Lifehacker Australia brought the interview to our attention, and they note that while crossing off a completed task is great, deleting something from your to-do list because it just isn't worth doing or isn't important is something to be celebrated too. That's why prioritizing your to-dos is important: It helps you separate the things you have to do from the rest, and shows you where you should focus your energies. If it seems like everything is important, there are still ways to get ahead of the game. Hit the link below to read more from the interview.

Forums >General Running>Changing running style?!
I bought a metronome to hit 172 beats per minute. Insanely fast compared to my normal cadence. Screw that.
I'm exactly the opposite. I run closer to 200 per minute, and my PT suggested that I try to slow my cadence to hit 180. I think the idea of a "magic" cadence number is a load of crap, and I'm not about to start tinkering with my stride just to get it.
The only useful thing I've picked up from books or whatever that discuss the "right" kind of stride is that muscle imbalances between the quads and the hamstring/glutes can cause a lot of trouble. That makes a lot of sense, and I think it's useful to do strength training to address that.

Fallout 3 was a big hit for Bethesda, but in the newly released western expansion, production of the game was given to new developer, Obsidian.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Susan Adams had a great article in Forbes last week, reporting on a recent survey conducted by Booz & Co. It presents a picture of corporate leaders who are "in over their heads". According to the survey of 3,500 managers around the world, including 875 who identified themselves as executives in the C-suite, "a striking majority of corporate leaders are not able to keep their priorities straight. They are also pursuing strategies they don't believe in, and many of their strategies fail to build on the things their companies are especially good at, compared with competitors. It's like everything that can go wrong already has gone wrong for them."
In one sense, it's disturbing to learn that:
- 64 percent said their biggest frustration was having too many conflicting priorities.
- 54 percent said they don't believe that both employees and customers understand their strategy.
- 56 percent said their company hadn't provided enough resources in a way that effectively supports their strategy
- 55 percent said they had trouble making sure that day-to-day decisions supported their company's strategy.
- Only 33 percent said they thought the company's core capabilities support their company's strategy.
- Only 21 percent said that all their businesses leverage their core capabilities.
- Only 20 percent said they think their company has a right to win in all the markets where it competes.
But there's some good news here. At least these executives realize that they have a problem. Realizing there's a problem is the first step to getting on with fixing it.
Harvard alumni: terminal complacency
By contrast, a survey conducted by Harvard in 2012, Competitiveness at the Crossroads, of 8,500 Harvard Business School alumni, including a significant proportion in the C-suite, saw both management and innovation as "strong" and "getting stronger", despite a context in which US organizations have lost the capacity to compete. The Harvard alumni blamed, not their own management, but rather the government.
The Harvard report was written by three distinguished professors at Harvard Business School—Michael Porter, Jan Rivkin and Rosabeth Moss Kanter—as part of a competitiveness initiative and concurs that there is a serious problem of competitiveness. Job creation stalled around 2000. Wages had been stagnating for well over a decade ago. Worse, "virtually all the net new jobs created over the last decade were in local businesses—government, healthcare, retailing—not exposed to international competition. That was a sign that the U.S. businesses were losing the ability compete internationally." Yet astonishingly, the Harvard alumni didn't see management as being responsible either for causing the problem or for fixing it.
Even more amazingly, in a world in which power in the marketplace has shifted from seller to buyer, the words "customer" or "client" never once appear in the report.
The reality: management is in steep decline
So who's right: the Harvard alumni or the Booz & Company respondents? Today, the facts are well known, Just look at this chart from Deloitte's Shift Index.
It shows the result of a study of 20,000 US organizations—the largest US firms—from 1965 to 2011 and it shows that the rate of return on assets and the rate of return on invested capital. Basically, it's a disaster. Around 1965, those rates were around five or six percent. And now they are down around one percent. A 75 percent decline.
So it's the respondents in the Booz & Company survey who are right. What they are seeing from their position inside their firms coincides with an objective analysis of what's been happening to the US private sector. US firms have been on a steady decline for decades. Other studies show that the life expectancy of firms in the Fortune 500, which used to be around 75 years is now less than 15 years and declining fast.
So hats off to the respondents to the Booz & Company survey! At least, they realize they have a problem! Now they can get on with fixing it.

Natural Remedies For Herpes During Pregnancy
25% of pregnant women suffer from herpes infection in 2nd trimester and there is around 50-60% chance of the infant contracting the infection during delivery. If herpes is left untreated, it leads to serious medical consequences in baby including brain damage, mental retardation, seizures and even death in some cases. There are some homeopathic medicines to treat herpes, however since enough safety data is not available, it is best to avoid them. Managing herpes during pregnancy is of utmost importance to the health of unborn child, therefore we must resort to safest route of natural treatment. Read on to know some of the quick and easy natural remedies for herpes…
Quick and Easy Natural Cures for Herpes
It is difficult to cure herpes in given span of nine months, but efforts can be directed to reduce the frequency of infection and decrease its severity to maximum extent. Moreover, herpes is related to suppressed immune system, so natural cures helps in boosting your immunity.
1. Ice Treatment:
It has been observed that cold or ice treatment on the infected area dispels the virus permanently from that area and you will never experience herpes infection in that area. What you have to do is wrap ice cubes in a cotton towel and keep this cold compression on the infected area with an interval of 15 minutes. The blisters and sores get dried out with this repeated treatment as ice ice helps in soothing the nerves around that area.
2. Baking Soda:
Baking soda is yet another remedy in treating herpes infection. It helps in expediting the healing process and dries out the blisters. You need to dip a clean cotton swab in baking soda powder and put it on the infected part. Ensure to repeat the process for at least 2 weeks to see positive result.
3. Aloe Vera Gel:
Aloe vera gel is touted to be an excellent treatment for skin conditions. It helps in soothing the itching and burning sensation due to herpes infection and the patient finds instant relief with its use. Put naturally available aloe vera gel from aloe vera leaf and rub it around the area.
4. Peppermint:
The virucidal effect of peppermint leaves is effective enough to cure the herpes infection and prevent it from spreading to nearby area. It is also a powerful immune booster due to calcium and vitamin B contents in it. It reduces the frequency of herpes infection occurrence. Being safe in pregnancy, it is recommended to drink peppermint tea infusion.
We anticipate the above highlighted natural remedies will prove effective and safe for treating herpes infection during pregnancy.

Berkley American Legion unveils monument honoring fallen soldier
By Joshua Gordon
Posted April 29, 2013
As hundreds of military personnel, patrons and media members gathered April 27 in front of the Berkley American Legion Post 374 on 12 Mile Road, all attention was focused on a yet-to-be-unveiled monument draped with an Army-green parachute of the 82nd Airborne Division.
Legion member Dale GoodCourage spoke about remembering those who lost their lives for the freedom of many, as several eyes turned toward Sarah Leach, the widow of fallen U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Matthew Leach, who was killed June 26, 2012, while on deployment in Afghanistan.
Matthew Leach was a 29-year-old Ferndale resident who enlisted in the Army in 2003 and performed two tours of duty in Iraq. Last summer, he was part of the Army Reserve's 1/334th Regiment, 1st Brigade, 104th Division based in Fraser during his third deployment.
An honorary member of the Berkley Legion, the monument that was unveiled was dedicated to him.
While Leach's wife, mother and friends gathered around the monument, it was a 17-month-old boy in a stroller who might benefit the most from the Battle Cross Memorial.
Jack Leach was born Nov. 28, 2011, and was 7 months old when his father died.
"I think this is really good since he won't really remember his father," Sarah Leach said. "He will be able to come here and be proud and see what his dad did."
Legion members held flags surround the building's parking lot as several military divisions and public safety departments paid their respects to Leach. Friends and loved ones were given dog tags to place on the monument when they so choose.
Sarah Leach wasn't afraid to show her emotions and neither was her mother-in-law, Matthew's mother, Wendy Sawyer. As Jack sat in his stroller unaware of what was going on around him, Sawyer said she knows it will be something he will appreciate as he gets older.
"I think this monument gives us more permanency of Matthew in our lives, and for his son to be able to grow up and come here when he wants to, he can have his father close to him," she said. "Matthew was a good friend — he made the best out of the worst. He was not a complainer and he was very passionate in his beliefs and followed through.
"As a healthy American male, he wanted to serve his country."
Peter Fulton is a friend of the family and one of the men who helped take the parachute off to unveil the monument. Fulton's wife grew up with Leach and his wife, and while he only knew Leach for about a year before he died, Fulton said he was more than happy to be involved in the monument ceremony.
"It is really touching; it has been almost a year since Matt died and it is still just as emotional as it was when we first found out," Fulton said. "I think the hardest thing about it is his son was so young when he passed and he will miss so much of Jack's life. Growing up without a father, I think (Jack) will eventually appreciate this monument and that this is a sign of what his father gave to this country."
The Battle Cross Memorial is similar to many others like it — a pair of military boots with a rifle between them and a helmet resting on top of the gun. But it is also different in that Sarah Leach handed over her husband's boots and helmet to sculptor Stanley J. Watts in Utah, who modeled the monument's boots and helmet off Leach's real ones.
An extra pair of boots were also replicated and placed under a bench in front of the memorial called Jack's Bench. One of the boots under the bench has "Dad" inscribed in it, while the other reads "Jack."
"I think this is beyond an honor for us to do; it is a golden privilege," GoodCourage said of the Legion helping to raise the money to have the monument made. "Matt is buried in Holly, so Jack won't always be able to go there, and this bench is his. Anytime he wants to come forward, he has the opportunity to do that.
"If it was just for that reason, it was all worth it."
The monument will hold special meaning to others, as well. Matthew Leach was Sarah's first kiss and they graduated Ferndale High School together in 2000 after having every class with each other since first grade. For his mom, and many others, Leach was a hero.
But GoodCourage and his fellow Legion members want other families and children who have lost loved ones in battle to come to the monument and reflect, as well. It is a dedication to all who served, GoodCourage said, that they will not be forgotten.
"This Battle Cross Memorial is more than a decoration — it is a symbolic representation of a story of a life and of memories lived," GoodCourage said. "To Matthew, we say welcome home and thank you for a job well done."

"I am excited about being drafted by the Charlotte Bobcats," said Henderson. "Charlotte is a great city and the Bobcats have outstanding fan support. I am looking forward to getting in to training camp and summer league to work with my new teammates and the coaching staff. The Bobcats have a bright future and I am grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of it."
Henderson, a first team All-ACC and second team All-America selection, led the team in scoring (16.5 ppg.), ranked second in rebounding (4.9 rpg.) and assists (91) and third in blocked shots (28) and steals (46) last season. He also led the team with 42 dunks, 20 drawn charges, nine three-point plays and 19 jump balls controlled. He averaged 19.8 points per game during conference play to rank fifth in the league.
Henderson ended his Duke career as one of 59 players in school history with over 1,000 career points, ranking 39th with 1,262 points. He scored in double figures in 63 contests with 14 games of 20 or more points, including 10 last season. He shot 45.8 percent from the field and averaged 4.2 rebounds in 104 career games. Henderson was also one of only 30 players in school history with 50 or more blocks, ranking 20th all-time with 69 blocks.
Henderson's father, Gerald Sr., was a 13-year NBA veteran. He won two NBA Championships (1981 & 1984) with the Boston Celtics and one title with the Detroit Pistons (1990).

Numerous changes in Hurricane-Winfield rivalry
It's only been a year since Hurricane and Winfield crossed paths, but so much has changed since then.A lot of things will look different - including the head coaches - when the Putnam County rivals lock up at 7:30 Friday night at Redskin Stadium.Hurricane embarks on its first season since 2004 without Willis May at the helm, as former assistant Jeremy Taylor takes over. May led the Redskins to six Class AAA playoff spots in his eight seasons as coach, thrice getting to the quarterfinals.Not only did May take all that coaching acumen with him when he left for Florida, but he also took his son Corey, a budding receiver in the Redskins system. Corey May caught 35 passes last year, including 11 in a first-round playoff win against Elkins.
"He came on last year,'' Taylor said of Corey May. "I watched from the stands, and the longer the season went on, the better he got.''Hurricane will be lacking at certain positions, especially along the line, where only one starter returns.Taylor, however, has been able to get junior receiver Koi Turner ready for varsity play this year, along with getting athletes from other teams at the school to come out for football - including junior baseball player Zach Fitzsimmons, a receiving candidate, along with junior twin brothers and wrestlers Jon and Jeremy Francis."I got a ton of wrestlers,'' Taylor said, "and it's nice to have those guys, like the Francis brothers. One will probably start in the secondary and the other's a lineman. They're tough as nails. You like having [wrestlers] at linebacker because you know they're not afraid of anything.''Balance among the skill position players has long been the byword at Hurricane, which saw four different running backs gain more than 100 yards in a game last season.
The last we saw of Winfield was a somewhat memorable season-ending 49-20 loss at Spring Valley last November. In that game, Andy Ellington booted four field goals, giving him a state-record 14 for the season, and running back David Gaydosz ran for more than 200 yards, putting him over 1,000 for the season and making him the first player at Winfield to reach that plateau since at least the 1980s (the school does not have complete records).But all it got the Generals was another loss to close out a 4-6 season. Shortly after, coach Willie Wilson stepped down after five years. Gaydosz then transferred to Cabell Midland."Certainly, that was a weird taste in our mouth at the end of the year, the way that all went down,'' said Craig Snyder, a former Generals assistant who has taken over as head coach. "Because everyone after the game was happy, and we just got destroyed. It was very misleading the way it all went down."We went 4-6 last year, beating two 0-10 teams [Nitro and Tolsia] and Ripley and St. Albans. Those four teams won five games. That was the most misleading almost-.500 record you can see.''
Both the coaches and players at Winfield realize they're battling a culture of losing, but are determined to get that mentality turned around.
"It's going to be a long process,'' said senior safety Alan Short. "We've been known as a team that can kind of be lazy at times, doesn't pursue the ball, not tough, kind of a weak team. But our numbers in the weight room have been great and we work hard day in and day out. We just have to be mentally tough."I have to keep my head straight on and off the field. I don't want to set a bad example for the younger guys as they're coming up through their high school years. It's the time of their life, and they don't want to mess things up because football has more of a meaning than just on the field. It sets examples all throughout life. It makes you a man.''nn Both coaches, former longtime assistants, know full well what it means to tackle a regular-season schedule in the Mountain State Athletic Conference.The MSAC parted ways this fall with a pair of programs that hadn't made the state playoffs since 1998 (Greenbrier East) or ever (Lincoln County). The 15-team combination that remains thus probably grows stronger."It's an old saying that anyone [in the league] can beat anyone,'' Taylor said, "but if I was the third-ranked team [in the playoff seedings], I wouldn't want to play the 14th-ranked team if it came out of the MSAC. I'd rather play one of those other schools that plays a lot of double-As and stuff like that.
"Even if you're [George Washington] and you're No. 1, you could be playing another MSAC school somewhere along the line. No. 8 could be Cabell Midland, maybe another MSAC team you've already played. We're in the toughest conference in the state without a doubt."As long as we do what we have to do, we'll win,'' he said. "We've got to have that mentality - that we will win. We'll find a way. If we do that, we'll be fine.''For Snyder, leaping into the MSAC means facing opponents who more often than not far outnumber the Generals, the fourth smallest school in AAA. "We have our work cut out for us,'' Snyder said. "One of the biggest differences these MSAC schools have is so many players, and they play more players. I'm thinking of playing more players, and potentially it can make a difference. It's something we're committed to doing, and I think it will make a difference."I just think there are challenges no matter what. We have the talent and the heart to be competitive. I don't see it as a negative. I teach in this community; this is my 17th year coaching in Winfield. I'm excited to have finally gotten the opportunity to lead the team. What you'll see in our locker room won't be a lot of flashy players. It'll be kids who are going to work hard and hopefully execute and be tough, and maybe in a little bit better shape than everyone else.''Reach Rick Ryan at 304-348-5175 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I don't expect it to make me stinking rich, but what are the chances I can quit my day job and make a living just by blogging? I see all these success stories, but how much money can I really make?AdvertisementSigned, Burgeoning BloggerDear BB, If you're passionate about a subject and you have decent writing skills, blogging definitely could be an alternative career path for you. The short answer is, yes, it is possible to make a living—a very good one, even—by writing online. On the other hand, the hard truth is most of the millions of bloggers today don't make enough to support themselves just with their blogs. Let's take a look at what's involved. Blogging as an OccupationThere are two main approaches to professional blogging: You could be a freelance or employed blogger for an established company or site (like those of us here at Lifehacker), or you can start your own blog from scratch.AdvertisementGetting a job as a professional blogger is much easier than starting at ground zero with your own blog. Those who get a job with an established company can earn a good living right off the bat.Setting up and monetizing (ugh) your own blog, however, takes a lot more work, like starting your own business. There's no real career path or trajectory to base expectations on. Some people have made hundreds of thousands of dollars writing their blog (or sold their blogs for millions), while others have yet to make a cent from theirs. The truth is, it's not as easy to carve out your space on the web and make a name for yourself as a blogger today, as it was back when blogging was brand new. And it takes a lot of time to build your audience to the point where it's successful. (The most successful, multi-million dollar blogs today were started around 2005 or earlier.) So it's definitely not something you can get rich quickly with, though many people do work on their blogs full time.How Much You Can EarnSalaries for bloggers vary widely. This report from Glassdoor shows ranges from $19K to $79K a year for the title "blogger," while other sources say the 14% of bloggers who earn a salary make, on average, $24K a year (or $33K for corporate bloggers). Likewise, freelance bloggers can make anything from under $10 a post to $100 or more for a relatively short post.AdvertisementSponsoredAs for running your own blog, a survey of 1,000 bloggers by Blogging.com in 2012 found that 17% are able to sustain their lifestyle or support their family with their blogs, while 81% never make even $100 from blogging. The other 2% spend less than 2 hours a day blogging but make more than $150K (Tim Ferriss types).Another survey, this one of 1,500 ProBlogger readers who said they're trying to make money by blogging, found that 9% make between $1,000 and $10,000 a month and 4% make over $10,000 a month. But the vast majority makes less than $3.50 per day. (Most of these were blogs less than two years old, though.)How much you could make would depend on several factors, including how often you blog, the quality of your content, how competitive your topic is, and how effective you are at building an audience and generating traffic. Plus a generous sprinkling of luck.A blog itself isn't really a business—it's more of a platform for other income streams. Your content alone won't likely make you money. Instead, you'll have to get advertisers, sell services like consulting or speaking, use affiliate marketing to get a percentage of sales from links people click on your blog, or maybe offer products like ebooks or premium content to actually generate income. ProBlogger has an excellent post about these different ways you can make money.Success Won't Come Quickly or EasilyDon't let this discourage you, but just know it could take months, if not years, to start making a living with your blog. Heed this advice from blogger Amy Lynn Andrews and Angela of the Coupon Project:AdvertisementI always tell folks that I worked for 8 months on my blog before receiving a single check! You have to make sure you are committed and passionate about what you're blogging about. Focus first on quality content and bringing in traffic. And if you NEED the money…like NOW? Don't start a blog. Get a day job.I'd say give yourself at least 6 months before you start pulling in an income. And even then, it'll most likely be coffee money.The other reality is you'll probably have to product a ton of content to generate meaningful income—and that's a significant time investment. Writing at least one post a day is best, but that one post could take hours of research, writing, and editing, depending on the content. It's hard work.If you do this on the side, it's also possible to rake in a substantial amount of money, perhaps enough so you can finally do it full-time.If not, there are still reasons to jump in and blog, from improving your chances of getting a job to simply sharing your passion. Alli Worthington puts it this way:It's okay if you started your blog because you love to write, but if you're waiting on your blog to make you rich, it won't.Because it's a blog and not a business.Sometimes I think we just need permission to do the things we love without having to make a living at it. So I'm giving you permission. I'm telling you it's fine for you to have a blog that gives you an outlet for your creativity, allows you to talk about things that are important to you and lets you stay connected to friends and family. You don't have to try to monetize your joy.Want to see more details on how much other bloggers make and what kind of traffic they get?

The Houston Texans will receive a much-needed boost on the defensive line when Antonio Smith returns to action on Sunday after serving a suspension for swinging a helmet at Miami Dolphins offensive guard Richie Incognito.
The mistake kept Smith out of the Texans' final two preseason games and the season opener but the man who often refers to himself as the "Ninja Assassin" said he's learned from the experience.
"I used to be a caged animal" Smith told the Houston Chronicle. "Now I'm a precision assassin."
Houston's defensive line could have used Smith in the Texans' opening week win over the San Diego Chargers. Perhaps it will be worth the wait though.
"I'm a lot smarter now (after the suspension)" Smith said Friday.

The offseason was a bad one for NFL owners in terms of diversity with their head coaches.
Of the eight vacancies, none were filled with minority candidates.
Of the seven general manager positions that were empty, only one -- Doug Whaley to the Buffalo Bills -- went to a minority.
Which brings us to the Dallas Cowboys.
Late last week, the Cowboys promoted Will McClay to assistant director of player personnel to work alongside Tom Ciskowski, who changed his title to director of scouting.
McClay is a key person in the Cowboys front office, along with Ciskowski and Judd Garrett in terms of finding players, college and pro.
But what McClay represents is diversity. He moves towards the top at a very important position in the Cowboys front office, and he's African-American. McClay has a voice with Jerry and Stephen Jones, which is very important in terms of finding players.
There are few African-American head coaches, just three in 2013, and the GM roles are held by few: Ozzie Newsome in Baltimore, Martin Mayhew in Detroit, Jerry Reese with the New York Giants, Reggie McKenzie in Oakland and Rick Smith in Houston are some of the names.
Diversity is important in sports, especially in the front office, and the Cowboys should be commended for what they did for McClay. They didn't move him up because of the color of his skin, but rather for what he's done for the team.
He helped find such players as Eric Frampton, Tony Fiammetta, Ernie Sims and Laurent Robinson. There was another player McClay found for the Cowboys, Jerry Brown, who passed away last December in a car crash.
The Cowboys have always promoted diversity in a number of ways, and by pushing McClay to this role, he could one day become a general manager for another team in a league that needs more diversity.

San Francisco Gasoline Slips From Six-Month High on Unit Starts
Lynn DoanSpot gasoline in San Francisco weakened from a six-month high against futures as Chevron Corp. and Phillips 66 were said to be preparing to start units at refineries in Northern California.
Chevron Corp.'s 240,000-barrel-a-day Richmond plant planned to fill its only crude unit, shut since an Aug. 6 fire, with oil on April 20, a person familiar with operations said April 15. Phillips 66's Rodeo refinery was scheduled to start a hydrocracker after finishing pump repairs tomorrow, a person with knowledge of the work said yesterday.
California-blend gasoline, or Carbob, in San Francisco fell 1.5 cents to a premium of 22.5 cents a gallon against futures traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 4:10 p.m. East Coast time, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The fuel climbed yesterday to the highest premium since Oct. 12.
Carbob in Los Angeles gained 2.5 cents to a premium of 8 cents a gallon.
Gasoline inventories on the U.S. West Coast, known as the PADD 5 region, dropped 3 percent in the week ended April 12 to 27.6 million barrels, the Energy Information Administration, the Energy Department's statistical arm, said today. That's the lowest level since October.
California-blend, or CARB, diesel in San Francisco climbed 0.5 cent to 6.5 cents a gallon above ultra-low-sulfur diesel futures on the Nymex. The same fuel in Los Angeles was unchanged at a 0.75-cent-a-gallon premium versus futures.
Conventional gasoline in Portland, Oregon, dropped 1.5 cents against Nymex gasoline futures to a premium of 4.5 cents a gallon. Low-sulfur diesel there weakened by 1 cent to 5 cents a gallon above futures.
The 3-2-1 crack spread of Alaska North Slope crude, Carbob in Los Angeles and CARB diesel in Los Angeles gained for the first time in three days, rising 54 cents to $18.64 a barrel at 4:24 p.m. New York time.

Grivel 360 ER Ice Screw
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
When you feel the screaming barfies start to come on and you're 30 feet above your last piece, trust the speed and efficiency of the Grivel 360 ER Ice Screw for a quick, confidence-inspiring placement. Unlike most ice screws, all of Grivel's screws have reversed threads that increase their resistance against extraction for superior strength that you'll appreciate when you're on the verge of falling. The 360 wire handle can be lifted away from the surface of the ice when obstructions prevent a normal rotation, allowing you to quickly place the 360 where other screws just won't fit.

Bookkeeping: Starting Massey Energy (MEE), Replacing BHP Billiton (BHP)
I am going to replace mining giant BHP Billiton (BHP) - one of our longest held holdings - with a much less diversified name, Massey Energy (MEE) now that the stock has finally come in. This name was my preferred choice in the space after it's recent acquisition [Mar 17, 2010: Massey Energy Seeks to Double Metallurgical Coal sales with Purchase of Cumberland Resources] but instead I began a stake in Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) last week. I still feel like I am chasing the market by buying anything after such a run but with the stock tagging the 20 day moving average on this morning's (cough) selloff, let us make this change today. I last owned Massey in September 2008, it's been a while.
I will begin with a 1.4% stake in the $49.80s. I'd like to add in the $45s. As I stated when I bought ANR, these type of stocks can fall 8% in any session they are out of favor, so you have to build positions incrementally as well as sell them in pieces along the way up.
BHP Billiton (BHP) was not a major position of late but has been a nice trading stock for us over the past year. I am exiting the last 0.2% exposure - there is absolutely nothing wrong with the company, or the stock - I simply don't want to carry more than X number of positions in the commodity space. And while BHP has a diversified portfolio of metals, I am trying to target coking coal and iron ore specifically with the recent price hikes.

Generic Name: glyburide (Oral route)
Commonly used brand name(s)
In the U.S.
- Diabeta
- Glycron
- Glynase Pres-Tab
- Micronase
In Canada
- Euglucon
Available Dosage Forms:
- Tablet
Therapeutic Class: Hypoglycemic
Chemical Class: 2nd Generation Sulfonylurea
Uses For Micronase
Glyburide is used to treat high blood sugar levels caused by a type of diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes) called type 2 diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, your body does not work properly to store excess sugar and the sugar remains in your bloodstream. Chronic high blood sugar can lead to serious health problems in the future.
Proper diet is the first step in managing type 2 diabetes, but often medicines are needed to help your body. Glyburide belongs to a class of medicines called sulfonylureas. It causes your pancreas to release more insulin into the blood stream. This medicine may be used alone or with another oral medicine such as metformin.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Before Using Micronase
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of glyburide in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of glyburide in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related liver or kidney problems, which may require an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving glyburide.
Pregnancy Category | Explanation | |
All Trimesters | C | Animal studies have shown an adverse effect and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women OR no animal studies have been conducted and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women. |

Proper Use of glyburide
This section provides information on the proper use of a number of products that contain glyburide. It may not be specific to Micronase. Please read with care.
Follow carefully the special meal plan your doctor gave you. This is the most important part of controlling your condition, and is necessary if the medicine is to work properly. Also, exercise regularly and test for sugar in your blood or urine as directed.
Use only the brand of this medicine that your doctor prescribed. Different brands may not work the same way.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
- For type 2 diabetes:
- For oral dosage form (tablets):
- Adults—At first, 2.5 to 5 milligrams (mg) once a day taken with breakfast or the first main meal. Your doctor may adjust your dose if needed. However, the dose is usually not more than 20 mg per day.
- Children—Use and dose must be determined by your doctor.
- For oral dosage form (micronized tablets):
- Adults—At first, 1.5 to 3 milligrams (mg) once a day taken with breakfast or the first main meal. Your doctor may adjust your dose if needed. The dose is usually not more than 12 mg per day.
- Children—Use and dose must be determined by your doctor.

Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.
Precautions While Using Micronase
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that this medicine is working properly. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
It is very important to follow carefully any instructions from your health care team about:
- Alcohol—Drinking alcohol may cause severe low blood sugar. Discuss this with your health care team.
- Counseling—Other family members need to learn how to prevent side effects or help with side effects if they occur. Also, patients with diabetes may need special counseling about diabetes medicine dosing changes that might occur because of lifestyle changes, such as changes in exercise and diet. Furthermore, counseling on contraception and pregnancy may be needed because of the problems that can occur in patients with diabetes during pregnancy.
- Travel—Keep your recent prescription and your medical history with you. Be prepared for an emergency as you would normally. Make allowances for changing time zones and keep your meal times as close as possible to your usual meal times.
- In case of emergency—There may be a time when you need emergency help for a problem caused by your diabetes. You need to be prepared for these emergencies. It is a good idea to wear a medical identification (ID) bracelet or neck chain at all times. Also, carry an ID card in your wallet or purse that says you have diabetes and a list of all of your medicines.
Check with your doctor right away if you start having chest pain or discomfort; nausea; pain or discomfort in arms, jaw, back, or neck; shortness of breath; sweating; or vomiting while you are using this medicine. These may be symptoms of a serious heart problem, including a heart attack.
Too much glyburide can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when it is used under certain conditions. Symptoms of low blood sugar must be treated before they lead to unconsciousness (passing out). Different people may feel different symptoms of low blood sugar. It is important that you learn which symptoms of low blood sugar you usually have so that you can treat it quickly and call someone on your health care team right away when you need advice.
Symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) include anxiety; behavior change similar to being drunk; blurred vision; cold sweats; confusion; cool, pale skin; difficulty in thinking; drowsiness; excessive hunger; fast heartbeat; headache (continuing); nausea; nervousness; nightmares; restless sleep; shakiness; slurred speech; or unusual tiredness or weakness.
If symptoms of low blood sugar occur, eat glucose tablets or gel, corn syrup, honey, or sugar cubes; or drink fruit juice, non-diet soft drink, or sugar dissolved in water. Also, check your blood for low blood sugar. Glucagon is used in emergency situations when severe symptoms such as seizures (convulsions) or unconsciousness occur. Have a glucagon kit available, along with a syringe or needle, and know how to use it. Members of your household also should know how to use it.
Do not take this medicine if you are also using bosentan (Tracleer®). Also, make sure your doctor knows about all other medicines you are using for diabetes, including insulin.

Apple First to Offer All LCD Flat Panel Display Lineup
Unveils New 17-inch Model to Complete Display Family
WWDC 2001, SAN JOSE, California—May 21, 2001—Apple® today announced that it will become the first in the industry to move to an all LCD flat panel display pro lineup. At the center of the new display line, Apple unveiled the new 17-inch Apple Studio Display™, a digital LCD display featuring 1280 by 1024 resolution at an aggressive price of $999 (US). The company also announced that it has lowered prices for the other two digital LCD displays in its line, with the award-winning 22-inch Apple Cinema Display now available for $2,499 (US) and the 15-inch Apple Studio Display now available for just $599 (US).
"Apple is the first company to move to an all LCD flat panel display lineup—the all-digital desktop has finally arrived," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Apple's complete line of affordable digital LCD displays are far brighter and sharper than the CRTs of old."
Apple's line of flat panel displays are digitally-driven from the computer to provide crisper images than prior-generation analog-driven flat panel displays. An all-digital interface produces sharp, flicker-free images that never need to be adjusted by user controls such as CRTs require. The displays' active matrix technology provides extraordinary brightness and contrast with no image degradation.
Ideal for creative professionals looking for a superior-quality, space-saving alternative to a traditional CRT monitor, the new 17-inch Studio Display flat panel offers an incredible screen resolution of 1280 by 1024 pixels and a full 16.7 million colors. Its incredibly wide viewing angle of up to 160 degrees maintains color fidelity even when viewing off axis.
The 17-inch Studio Display continues the award-winning industrial design of its 15- and 22-inch siblings that is both beautiful and functional. In addition to its slim desktop footprint and low power consumption, the 17-inch Studio Display also features the Apple Display Connector, an innovative single-connection quick-latch mechanism that combines USB, power and video in one cable, for easy hookup and reduced desktop clutter. For easy plug-and-play connections to peripherals, the 17-inch flat panel also offers a 2-port powered USB hub.
Apple's complete line of flat panel displays provide the perfect companion to Apple's latest desktop computers. The award-winning Power Mac™ G4 professional desktop offers either 733 MHz, 533 MHz and 466 MHz single-processor configurations, or dual processor 533 MHz PowerPC G4 processors with Velocity Engine™. The Power Mac G4 comes with a choice of optical drives and easy-to-use applications for creating music CDs, interactive DVD videos and desktop movies.
Pricing & Availability
The 17-inch (diagonal) Apple Studio Display flat panel is expected to be available in early June from the online Apple Store®(www.apple.com), at Apple's retail stores and through Apple Authorized Resellers for a suggested retail price of $999 (US); the 15-inch (diagonal) Apple Studio Display flat panel for a suggested retail price of $599 (US), and the 22-inch (diagonal) Apple Cinema Display for a suggested retail price of $2,499 (US).
Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Apple is committed to bringing the best personal computing experience to students, educators, creative professionals and consumers around the world through its innovative hardware, software and Internet offerings.
