Announced on September 15, 2005, UniStar is a business venture formed to facilitate design certification, siting, licensing, construction, and operation of a fleet of new nuclear power plant in the U.S. The plan is to build a reactor design known as the U.S. Evolutionary Power Reactor, a new design that is based on a reactor now under construction (but not yet completed) in Finland. UniStar has applied for a combined operating license at both Nine Mile Point in New York and Calvert Cliffs in Maryland.
Additionally, UniStar has assisted with application preparation for combined construction and operating licenses at sites in Missouri and Pennsylvania.
View a list of companies that make up UniStar.
NuStart Energy Development is the largest and most well-funded of the consortia seeking new operating licenses, and its formation was announced on March 31, 2004.
NuStart works with two nuclear reactor vendors, GE and Westinghouse, and uses their reactor models as preferred candidates for member companies: the General Electric Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR) and the Westinghouse Advanced Passive 1000 reactor (AP1000).
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced on November 4, 2004, that the NuStart consortium would receive an initial subsidy of $4 million, with more going to the Dominion-led consortium. In May 2005 it signed a final deal with DOE for a 50% cost-share agreement, with taxpayers contributing $260 million and the consortium as a whole putting up an equal amount for the paperwork on two new nuclear reactors. Those reactors will be pursued at Bellefonte, AL and Grand Gulf, MS.

Album Notes
Placido Domingo and Dionne Warwick are both great singers, but they are not a natural match. They come from different backgrounds and have different styles, yet they were paired for the holiday record Celebration in Vienna. Given that it's a Christmas album filled with good cheer, it's hard to begrudge either artist, but the album doesn't work as well as one might hope. Individually, both vocalists acquit themselves fairly well, but the duets don't quite hold up. Nevertheless, there is a certain charm to much of this record that makes it worth hearing for fans of either artist, even if it doesn't deliver as much as it promises. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Heart-protecting fats in salmon also help your skin stay healthy.
Leave a Review
I liked this recipe a lot. It was quick, tasty and looked lovely. I took the advise of Talkinghead who suggested lime zest.
Delicious and quick!
This is a quick, healthy and yummy dish. To make it even quicker I used microwavable rice. I mixed a little of the sauce into the rice. Yum!
We LOVED this and will likely make it often. We forgot to get the sesame seeds so garnished with grated pine nots. Worked for us. Did not measure ingredients, just eyeballed them but thought the balance was so good that no one ingredient stood out which to me means success.
The sauce makes this dish! We bought some salmon for a dinner party that ended up not taking place, so I was looking for a recipe different from my normal one to change things up. I would say that this one is a keeper and restaurant worthy! I took the other reviewers' advice and doubled the sauce. I made two modifications to the sauce that I thought added to the flavor - added chopped fresh ginger and the zest of the limes that I used. I don't know if the ginger made much of a difference, but I could the flavor of the zest definitely came through. Following the other reviewers advice as well, I added a couple of tablespoons of the sauce to the spinach as I was sauteing. Will definitely make this again and would serve it to company as well.
Delicious! Very easy and and flavorful. Will be making this again.
Would definitely make it again. My husband who usually hides when I say I'm cooking actually said it tasted pretty good !!!!
This was a very healthy and tasty dish. I did sub coconut oil for the butter so not reviewing as exactly written. My favorite meals are always fish, rice, and greens. I like to plate the salmon without the skin and then salt and put the skin back in the oven and let it crisp up. A nice salmon skin chip makes a tasty and pretty presentation.
Absolutely delicious and also easy! Now that's a great combination. As others have said, double the sauce. I also add fresh ginger along with the garlic.
This was really easy and very tasty... I had a salad mix which I sauteed with other veggies I had, broccoli, peppers, and green beans. I think any greens with this will taste good! I also did what others did and doubled the sauce because it's yummy :)

i noticed i use single math operator objects all the time instead of combining them long chains in an expr object. in a number of big patches of me this methode would reduce the number of objects and patchcords. will this also save some cpu cycles and/or some bytes in memory? or is this nothing worth to think about with todays computers?
it'll make your patches neater!
Probably nothing to worry about as far as CPU is concerned. There's a (small) price for every object and patch cord, but the last time I saw source code for how [expr] worked, there was some internal overhead for every operation as well.
Barry's point about tidying up patches is well taken, but you can also encapsulate.
One other thing might be of interest: [expr] may have higher precision for intermediate calculations, compared to sending data through patch cords. Someone who's actually looking at the source code once in a while would need to verify that hypothesis, though.

The day is finally here, the day that the GNOME team releases GNOME 3.0, the first major revision of the GNOME project since 2002. Little of GNOME 2.x is left in GNOME 3.0, and as such, you could call it GNOME's KDE4. We're living in fortunate times, what, with two wildly divergent open source desktops.

Long story short, in Win95 MS introduced the notification area (aka "tray icons") but did not strictly restrict it to system notifications.
Every damn app maker on the planet started abusing it and docking his apps into it.
Microsoft then tried to cover the problem in Windows XP and subsequent releases by making icons autohide in that area... which is a band-aid, not a fix, and a stupid one.
GNOME Shell makes this distinction clear and doesn't allow apps to show icons into the upper right corner, which is reserved for system stuff.

John Collins has been appointed a member at Kinetic Partners to extend the firm's growing range of risk services.
In addition to the risk and valuation services platform, Collins (pictured) will develop a broader range of risk consultancy services to investment banks, prime brokers, asset servicers, large asset managers and hedge funds.
Kinetic Partners will offer consulting skills across the spectrum of risk: market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, regulatory risk and reporting, operational risk, and risk control/middle office.
Collins has a strong background in risk management. He joins Kinetic Partners having founded and built Rule Financial's risk practice from a standing start to an established risk advisory practice.
Prior to his role at Rule Financial, Collins was managing director at the reinsurer Swiss Re, where he led the integration of portfolio and trading risk management platforms across a USD250bn portfolio of proprietary assets.
He began his career as an accountant and auditor with Baker Tilly, before moving into investment banking at Morgan Stanley and then Citi, where he worked in structured products, alternative investments, and the asset servicing businesses.
Collins says: "It is very exciting to be joining Kinetic Partners at such a pivotal time for the financial services industry. Our RVS platform already provides investment managers with highly sought-after, independent and outsourced risk and analytic services. We have a dominant position advising hedge funds in London – 65 per cent of the larger funds are clients – and our investment banking presence is growing. I am looking forward to building our risk services so that we offer clients the best possible advice and solution line-up with regard to their risk management challenges."
Julian Korek, a founding member of Kinetic Partners, adds: "We are delighted to have John on-board to bolster our already successful risk and valuation service. At a time when investors and regulators are demanding that financial institutions implement stronger risk management processes, it has become even more essential that we can offer all our clients the best service possible in this area."
Kinetic Partners has also hired two team members to work on global consulting assignments related to its growing liquidation and forensics practice.
Krissa E. Jeffers joins Kinetic Partners as a consultant specialising in forensics and insolvency. Her expertise includes managing investigations, large-scale fraud engagements, insolvencies, and other litigious situations. Prior to joining Kinetic Partners, she spent six years with KPMG, including three years in the Cayman Islands.
Jon Yamaoka has also joined Kinetic Partners as a consultant and will focus on forensics, disputes and insolvency. Prior to joining Kinetic Partners, he spent three years with Huron Consulting Group in New York.
"Our firm has a strong team in place already and the combined skills of these two new hires further augment our ability to meet client demands in the areas of liquidation and forensics. Concerns about conflicts of interest are keen in light of the recent Goldman Sachs saga and we expect the impending financial reform bill to have a significant impact," adds Korek.

Free RM to MP3 Converter 1.12
16 January 2014 , reviewed by:
I had 30 old .rm files and all of them converted except 1 (the largest one 2MB). All files that converted were between 350K - 900K in size.
When the program hit the corrupt file, it posted the error: Cannot read from file source!
Then at the bottom it said "Please update to DirectX 8.1" - I think it safe to say that the problem had nothing to do with Direct-X as it worked fine on all my other files.
Thank you Mr. Author!

Very good program. Depending on what you're looking for you can convert .rm to .mp3 using various bit rates; anywhere from 8 - 320, which is great.
BTW: from what I've read, 320 kbps gives quality virtually indistinguishable from original CDs, while 128 kbps is typical for musical MP3s and quality podcasts.

I use this all the time to convert programmes downloaded from the BBC in order to listen to them on my mp3 player.
It's only slow if you have a slow pc, plus I believe there is a 'speed limit' which going above would only produce errors. This principle applies to burning cds and dvds too of course.
In comparison with the Boilsoft product it's not in the least bit inferior. In fact this one has more control over setting the bit rate if my memory serves me correctly.
I have had some problems in the past like the previous commentator with regard to a request to update DirectX but this turned out to be erroneous and I tracked the problem down to another piece of software that uninstalled pcouffin drivers. Reinstalling this other soft got Free RM to MP3 Converter working again. However I was unable to replicate this by installing/uninstalling the pcouffin drivers by themselves. I shall continue to work on a simple fix for my own peace of mind. If anyone has any addition input on this please add your comments.
Yes it can be a little temperamental but when it works, which is most of the time, it's excellent.

- - SERIOUS napping issues
SERIOUS napping issues Im a confident, quite experienced english rider, but im having issues with my loan horse Rolo... i decided to walk him on the trail, after my session in the arena to warm him down as last week i was having trouble stopping him on hacks, so i thought it would be a good idea to take him on the trail when he was abit tired :L Well it didn't go especially well to say the least.. we were happily walking along towards the entrance of the trail and he just stopped dead refused to move, i gently nudged him, he did a MASSIVE buck and spun round luckily i didnt come off but how ever hard i tried to get him ont the trail he would just start bucking and rearing, it was really embarassing and obviously i dont want him doing it all the time. I REALLY dont want him in this habit as he used to do it in the arena but just randomly stopped doing it in there when we moved yards what should i do ? |
932 Attachment(s) If that were me...Id carry a nice long dressage whip, and smack his booty when he pulled that crap. PUSH him forward. - Do not back him. - Do not let him go back to the barn. - You must win. - Do not get off him unless you are in serious danger. And even then, lead him onto the trail and not back to the barn. If you must...to get his feet moving...Id use circles. When you asked to move forward and he doesnt respond...circle circle circle circle circle circle circle circle. Eventually he will realize a few simple steps forward are MUCH less work then so many circles. Posted via Mobile Device |
Ninja, his routine is probably getting unsaddled and returned to his stall when the ride is over. You changed his routine and he was having no part of it. Plus you'd taken him out alone and he was leaving everything that represents security to him. |
I would probably do nothing but sit on him and wait for him to go forward. When he wanted to go I would make him wait a tad longer and then go. No fight as you obviously feel you cannot win this, waiting, keeping them facing the direction you want to go bores them. Be prepared for a long wait. One big horse I had decided in the middle of a X roads that he would not go straight on, I could have gone any other way but not straight ahead. Took me three hours to sit him out! Next time (different place) it was 20 minutes after that it became less then a couple of minutes until in the end he just realised it wasn't worth it. |
My answer is, it depends. Obviously gently nudging didn't work, so I would say start with no leg pressure. Is this a horse that would have a melt down if you got into him with a sharp verbal and crop correction when he started to get sticky? I don't want to give advice that lands you somewhere in the next time zone. Some horses give right in to a sharp correction and keep going. Others do what yours does and laugh as the gallop home without you. If your horse is sensitive, just out-stubborn him. Using only reins, no leg pressure, keep him facing the direction that you want to go and sit there like you have all day. You may have to sit out numerous tantrums, but eventually he will figure out his only choice is forward. Once you feel his body start to relax, ask for forward with only reins via the drunken sailor walk. Use one rein and then the other to get him to follow his nose. The result will be a zig zaggy, but non-the-less forward walk. When he does go forward, again depending on his personality, either praise him low key with a simple release of aids, or throw an all out party with lots of pats and good boys. Good luck. |
luckily im stubborn too, I'll try the sitting and waiting on saturday because i have all morning :) hopefully it'll work out, will keep you posted |

Dungeons & Dragons creature | |
Buomman | |
Alignment | Any, though usually Lawful Good or Lawful Neutral |
Type | Humanoid |
Subtype | Extraplanar |
Source books | Planar Handbook |
First appearance | |
Image | Wizards.com image |
The buommans are a race of humanoid creatures from Dungeons & Dragons. The buomman species is named for the first sound most buommans learn to make, a deep "buomm". They are also sometimes called "the moaning monks" in reference to their habit of nearly constantly singing (see below).
Buomman physiology is nearly like human, but with some differences; They are often slightly shorter and slightly heavier than the average human, their hands and feet are elongated and their faces are long and sagging. Buommans have better low-light vision than humans, being able to see further and also distinguish color and detail. Since buomman culture is much centered around song they have very good hearing and an innate sense of tone and pitch.
Most Buommans are lawful good or lawful neutral although lawful evil and simply neutral ones exist. Chaotic buommans are rare. Buommans have strong willpower and great insight but their personalities tend to be reserved, in game terms, this gives them a good wisdom score but low charisma. Most buommans who choose a character class become monks, a few specializing to become astral dancers.
Buommans live in the astral plane, usually in temples and shrines that they have formed out of astral debris they believe to be the bodies of unconscious deities. Whether the buommans believe the deities to be dead or sleeping is something they do not tell non-buommans. Nor do they say whether the purpose of the temples is to revere the gods, keep them asleep or wait for their reawakening. The truth is that the buommans themselves are divided on this, most good buommans look forward to the gods returning, while neutral buommans often see them as dead and most evil buommans want the gods to continue sleeping (if that is what they do).
Buomman language, Buommi, is very similar to whalesong, consisting of deep, hummed melodies. While Buommi can be used for communication it is mainly used as a ritual part of buommans' daily life, with the buommans singing specific songs while eating, waking, leaving or performing many other (some of them very abstract) actions. Although most Buommans can understand human languages, they swear to never speak them, which makes it uncertain how well they could speak them if they wished to. Buommans name themselves in a way which also resembles that of whales, using short melodies as names. When interacting with other humanoid species buommans will usually accept nicknames, as long as they contain no harsh consonants.
The origin of the buommans is uncertain, as their existence goes several millennia back in time. According to the Planar Handbook it is possible that they are the descendants of humans who colonized the astral plane and later evolved into the buomman race.

The Canadian hamlet of Arviat, Nunavut has become a hub for videomaking thanks to the work of its Film Society. This Inuit community has also been a launching pad for some of its youth to find opportunities elsewhere to practice their craft.
One of these videomakers is Jordan Konek, once a member of the Arviat Film Society, who is now living and working in Iaqluit, where he works as a video journalist for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation North. In addition, he is one of the founders of his own video company Konek Productions, which also allows him to highlight Inuit culture and language.
His YouTube channel is a mix of daily happenings around his community. His channel also contains music videos that he produced for local artists, many of whom cover popular songs translated into the Inuktitut language, such as this version of John Lennon's "Imagine". The video posted above produced by Konek provides a list of some of the ways that Inuit culture can be kept alive from his point of view.

None of the customers at the Shoal Harbour Drive restaurant were seated at the centre tables when the truck crashed through the front window into the dining area.
The apologetic driver bought wings for the startled customers who were in the restaurant at the time.
A spokesperson with the company said there was no structural damage to the building, just broken windows and damaged furniture.
And thanks to him, we all know a little bit more about quantum computing too.

One of our founders delivers a BP PowerPoint presentation to a group of publishers, and to you. Baseball Prospectus has been around for awhile. And while we're very proud of the work we're doing today, we're also proud of the work we've done in the past. Some of you have been reading BP since the beginning. Others have subscribed more recently. Maybe some of you are visiting for the first time for our Free Friday promotion and don't know anything about us. Regardless of how long you've had a subscription (or whether you have one at all), if you want to brush up on our history and progression from unknown outsiders to respected publishers of intelligent, irreverent baseball commentary, watching this video would not be a bad idea.

We shouldn't be surprised when players don't show the same appreciation for baseball history we do, but sometimes the truth still hurts. In sports, familiarity is more of the heart than the mind. As player valuation becomes uniformly sophisticated across baseball, familiarity has become a non-factor. The new wave of decision makers are as versed in Wall Street jargon as they are in scout speak and aren't too prone to sentiment. (Nor should they be.) The Theo Epsteins and Andrew Friedmans of the world are savvy enough to avoid communicating to fans in those terms, but the mindset is still there. Players are assets, and transactions are opportunities to add value to the franchise. The bond between a player and the team's fan base may be given lip service in the media, but in reality, it matters not at all, or very little. As for the players, the bottom line is almost always the ultimate deciding factor—he's going to go where the dollars flow. Sometimes, the sentimental and the pragmatic line up nicely. That's what I was thinking when the first messages popped up in my Twitter stream this week bearing the news of Prince Fielder's new contract in Detroit. The kneejerk reaction of many was that the deal was absurdly bloated. (It was.) Others thought Detroit moved well ahead of the competition in the AL Central. (As a Royals fan, that was my second thought.) If you're a Tigers fan, you might have jumped up on your desk and started doing the Dougie. (Can't blame you.) Me, I just thought it was cool that Prince was going to play for the same team on which his father made a name for himself. It's not clear why I should care.

How one man came to support a borderline statistical candidate for the Hall of Fame whose other contributions strengthen his case. My first memory about Minnie Minoso stems from 1977, on one of those bright afternoons when I had talked my grandfather into stopping at the dime store on the town square in Red Oak, Iowa. It's just as Sinclair Lewis as it sounds. The store sold baseball cards, and I was working on my Topps collection that summer by picking up four or five 10-cent packs at a time. Not everything at the dime store actually cost a dime, but fifteen baseball cards and one rock-hard piece of bubble gum did, and they came bundled in colorful wax wrappers that I liked so much that I refused to throw them away. My parents didn't give a rip about sports, but my grandfather had played second base in Class-B ball in southwest Iowa in the 1920s and understood what baseball could mean to a young boy. He was glad to fork over change for the cards. Red Oak had, and still has, the type of rustic town square that was once the primary business district of small midwestern towns. Some communities have courthouses stuck in the middle of their square, but Red Oak has trees, a fountain, and a park. That day, I sat in the grass opening my cards, stuffing the gum in my mouth one piece at a time, while my grandfather lounged on a bench under a tree talking to a fellow retired farmer, who wore a green John Deere hat. The names on the cards didn't mean much to me at the time—it hadn't been that long since I had learned to read—but I loved the team names, the pictures, and of course, the numbers on the back. Suddenly I came across card No. 232 from the 1977 Topps set: This is a BP Premium article. To read it, sign up for Premium today! October 15, 2010 8:00 am

The Angels left-hander talks about the pressures of closing among a variety of subjects. Brian Fuentes is a thinking man's closer. The Angels left-hander has a deceptive delivery and underrated stuff, but above all he has a cerebral approach to the game. Originally drafted by Seattle, the 34-year-old Fuentes made a name for himself in Colorado, saving 111 games over a four-year stretch, before signing a free-agent contract with the Sons of Gene Autry prior to the 2009 season. Last year's American League saves leader with 48, the laid-back and always-thoughtful Fuentes is a four-time All-Star. This is a BP Premium article. To read it, sign up for Premium today!

A look at the origins of estimating runs and various formulas created to do so. For those joining us in medias res, previously we discussed the fundamentals of run estimation (and really, the essence of baseball analysis). If you haven't read it yet, I'd suggest doing so before going any further. Well, they say that those who don't understand history are doomed to repeat it. So let's take a brief look at the history of run estimation. You could probably write a book simply on this topic, but for now I think a rather broad overview will suffice.

The historian talks about the vast research she has done on the social aspects of baseball. Dorothy Seymour Mills is a giant among baseball researchers and historians. Mills and her late husband, Harold Seymour, were among the inaugural class of recipients of the Society for American Baseball Research's Henry Chadwick Award, which honors the game's great researchers, historians, statisticians, analysts, and archivists. She collaborated on three groundbreaking books with her late husband: Baseball: The Early Years [1960], Baseball: The Golden Age [1971], and Baseball: The People's Game [1990]. Her most recent book is Chasing Baseball. Mills, now 82 years young, talked about her life as a baseball researcher during SABR's annual Seymour Medal Conference, held recently in Cleveland. The award, which honors the best book of baseball history or biography published the previous year, is named after her and Harold Seymour. This is a BP Premium article.

Don't stop believing in the AL Central, the Orioles' annual late-season wing-clipping, and instant replay on the job. White Sox skipper Ozzie Guillen was chatting with a group of reporters this past week, when the talk turned to analyzing the remaining schedules of the two contenders in the American League Central. Some felt that the Sox had the easier path to winning their first division title since 2005, a season in which they also won their first World Series since 1917. Others believed that the Twins had the clearer path to a second AL Central crown in three years. The remainder of this post cannot be viewed at this subscription level.

Enter instant replay, bad blood between the Mets and Phillies (and Brewers and Cards), plus news and notes from around the game. Instant replay is here, although it's yet to be used after the first three days of being available to help umpires on home-run calls. While video may have killed the radio star, it is not expected to kill off the men in blue. Commissioner Bud Selig has made it clear that replay will not extend beyond boundary calls on homers, but even in its limited form, replay is stirring debate around the major leagues. Everyone has an opinion; people either love it or hate it, with seemingly no one standing on middle ground. The remainder of this post cannot be viewed at this subscription level.

Subject: A Little Flab
One morning, while making breakfast, a man walked up to his wife,
pinched her on the butt and said, "If you firmed up, we could get rid of
your control top panty hose." While this was on the edge of intolerable,
she kept silent.
The next morning the man woke his wife with a pinch on each of her
breasts and said, "You know, if you firmed these up, we could get rid
of your bra." This was beyond a silent response, so she rolled over and
grabbed him by his "winkie". With a death grip in place, she said, "You
know, if you firmed this up, we could get rid of the gardener, the
postman, the pool boy, and your brother."

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Missouri Lottery would not be able to release the names and addresses of prize winners under a bill presented to a Missouri House committee on Thursday.
Sponsoring Rep. Rochelle Walton Gray, of Black Jack, told the House Local Government Committee that winning the lottery can subject a person to hardship.
She cited constant phone calls, harassment and loss of privacy as consequences of people knowing the identities of lottery winners. She also said winning big prizes could even result in death. A Chicago man died in July just before he was to collect a $425,000 prize from a scratch-off ticket. His death was ruled a homicide in January.
But Philip Smith of the Missouri Lottery told committee members that revealing a winner's identity provides legitimacy to the lottery.
"To ensure the integrity and to have the public have confidence in our games they have to know that people do win prizes by people purchasing tickets," he said.
Walton Gray said she understands the need to sell tickets and would agree to a compromise that would keep some personal information secret.
Smith said the lottery tries to respect the wishes of winners to remain anonymous, but the identities of prize winners are subject to Missouri's Sunshine Law, making identity information available to open records request.
Of the 44 states with lottery games, only Delaware, Kansas, Maryland, North Dakota and Ohio allow blanket anonymity for winners. Other states, including Michigan, New Jersey and Arizona, are considering similar privacy protections.
The lottery privacy bill is HB805 and can be read here.

What are the acute complications of diabetes?
- Severely elevated blood sugar levels due to an actual lack of insulin or a relative deficiency of insulin.
- Abnormally low blood sugar levels due to too much insulin or other glucose-lowering medications.
Acute complications of type 2 diabetes
In patients with type 2 diabetes, stress, infection, and medications (such as corticosteroids) can also lead to severely elevated blood sugar levels. Accompanied by dehydration, severe blood sugar elevation in patients with type 2 diabetes can lead to an increase in blood osmolality (hyperosmolar state). This condition can worsen and lead to coma (hyperosmolar coma). A hyperosmolar coma usually occurs in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. Like diabetic ketoacidosis, a hyperosmolar coma is a medical emergency. Immediate treatment with intravenous fluid and insulin is important in reversing the hyperosmolar state. Unlike patients with type 1 diabetes, patients with type 2 diabetes do not generally develop ketoacidosis solely on the basis of their diabetes. Since in general, type 2 diabetes occurs in an older population, concomitant medical conditions are more likely to be present, and these patients may actually be sicker overall. The complication and death rates from hyperosmolar coma is thus higher than in diabetic ketoacidosis.
Hypoglycemia means abnormally low blood sugar (glucose). In patients with diabetes, the most common cause of low blood sugar is excessive use of insulin or other glucose-lowering medications, to lower the blood sugar level in diabetic patients in the presence of a delayed or absent meal. When low blood sugar levels occur because of too much insulin, it is called an insulin reaction. Sometimes, low blood sugar can be the result of an insufficient caloric intake or sudden excessive physical exertion.
Blood glucose is essential for the proper functioning of brain cells. Therefore, low blood sugar can lead to central nervous system symptoms such as:
The actual level of blood sugar at which these symptoms occur varies with each person, but usually it occurs when blood sugars are less than 50 mg/dl. Untreated, severely low blood sugar levels can lead to coma, seizures, and, in the worst case scenario, irreversible brain death.
The treatment of low blood sugar consists of administering a quickly absorbed glucose source. These include glucose containing drinks, such as orange juice, soft drinks (not sugar-free), or glucose tablets in doses of 15-20 grams at a time (for example, the equivalent of half a glass of juice). Even cake frosting applied inside the cheeks can work in a pinch if patient cooperation is difficult. If the individual becomes unconscious, glucagon can be given by intramuscular injection.
Learn more about: glucagon
Glucagon is a hormone that causes the release of glucose from the liver (for example, it promotes gluconeogenesis). Glucagon can be lifesaving and every patient with diabetes who has a history of hypoglycemia (particularly those on insulin) should have a glucagon kit. Families and friends of those with diabetes need to be taught how to administer glucagon, since obviously the patients will not be able to do it themselves in an emergency situation. Another lifesaving device that should be mentioned is very simple; a medic-alert bracelet should be worn by all patients with diabetes.
Learn more about: Glucagon
Acute complications of type 1 diabetes
Insulin is vital to patients with type 1 diabetes - they cannot live without a source of exogenous insulin. Without insulin, patients with type 1 diabetes develop severely elevated blood sugar levels. This leads to increased urine glucose, which in turn leads to excessive loss of fluid and electrolytes in the urine. Lack of insulin also causes the inability to store fat and protein along with breakdown of existing fat and protein stores. This dysregulation, results in the process of ketosis and the release of ketones into the blood. Ketones turn the blood acidic, a condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Without prompt medical treatment, patients with diabetic ketoacidosis can rapidly go into shock, coma, and even death may result.
Diabetic ketoacidosis can be caused by infections, stress, or trauma, all of which may increase insulin requirements. In addition, missing doses of insulin is also an obvious risk factor for developing diabetic ketoacidosis. Urgent treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis involves the intravenous administration of fluid, electrolytes, and insulin, usually in a hospital intensive care unit. Dehydration can be very severe, and it is not unusual to need to replace 6-7 liters of fluid when a person presents in diabetic ketoacidosis. Antibiotics are given for infections. With treatment, abnormal blood sugar levels, ketone production, acidosis, and dehydration can be reversed rapidly, and patients can recover remarkably well.

Danica Patrick, in full Danica Sue Patrick (born March 25, 1982, Beloit, Wisconsin, U.S.), American race car driver and the first woman to win an IndyCar championship event.
Patrick's racing career began with go-karts in her hometown of Beloit, Wisconsin, at age 10. At age 16, after national success in go-karts, Patrick left high school to race Formula Fords and Vauxhalls in the United Kingdom. She placed second in the 2000 Formula Ford festival, the best-ever finish for an American in that spawning ground for future professionals.
Patrick returned to the United States in 2002 after being signed to her first U.S. Indy-car racing contract by former Indy driver Bobby Rahal. She was then promoted to Toyota Formula Atlantic open-wheel cars. Although she never won in that series, she finished third in the drivers' overall ranking in 2004, which led to a chance to qualify for the Indianapolis 500. Three other women—Janet Guthrie, Lyn St. James, and Sarah Fisher—had previously qualified for the Indy 500, the most prestigious auto race in the United States. In her first appearance at Indy, in 2005, Patrick set the fastest lap in practice (229.88 mph [369.956 km/hr]), but she could not duplicate this feat during official qualifying. She became the first woman to lead the classic race (three times for a total of 19 laps) and eventually finished fourth. She was named Rookie of the Year for 2005 and was voted Indy Racing League (IRL) Most Popular Driver in 2005, 2006, and 2007.
Patrick began racing with the Andretti Green Racing (AGR) team in 2007. On April 20, 2008, in her 50th start in the IRL, Patrick secured the first big win of her career—the Firestone IndyCar 300 race at the Twin Ring Motegi circuit in Motegi, Japan. Patrick, driving a Dallara-Honda for AGR, skillfully avoided taking a late pit stop in the race and finished 5.86 seconds ahead of former IRL titlist Hélio Castroneves of Brazil to become the first woman to win an IndyCar championship event. Patrick's victory, and her sixth-place finish in the season-long drivers' championship, silenced many critics who, in light of her lucrative merchandising and endorsement pursuits, had wondered at times whether she was just a marketing phenomenon.
Beginning in 2010 Patrick raced a partial season in NASCAR's lower-tier Nationwide Series in addition to continuing to compete in IndyCar racing. In August 2011 she announced that she would move to NASCAR full-time in 2012 and would participate in both Nationwide and Sprint Cup (top-tier) races. Patrick won the pole position for the 2013 Daytona 500, becoming the first woman to start a Sprint Cup race from the pole. She also became the first woman to lead a lap in that race, and she finished in eighth place.

Adam Fah, conservation technician for the Washington State Arts Commission, works on remounting a piece of Deborah Mersky's "Out of Nature" on a wall near the PUB at Shoreline Community College.
When Deborah Mersky's 85-foot-long bronze sculpture "Out of Nature" was installed at Shoreline Community College in 2003, its concrete wall backdrop seemed pretty permanent.
Well, most of it was.
Just a few years later, as part of the Pagoda Union Building replacement project, about 30 feet of the wall was removed and with it, several sections of Mersky's work. While the majority of the multi-sectioned piece remained during construction, some sections received minor damage and the remaining sections were off-center on the wall, giving an unbalanced appearance.
Now, all of the work's sections have been reunited and remounted, centered in what remains of the wall.
"There were three sections that were in storage," said Adam Fah, conservation technician for the Washington State Arts Commission, who did the work Aug. 5-6, 2009. "I've added those and repositioned the entire work so it is centered."
"Out of Nature," was cut by laser from digitized drawings, and will have a natural looking patina surface that gives the impression of being old, and which is intended to darken with time. Parts of it will have an overlay of etched bronze or copper letters, according to a 2003 article in the SCC student newspaper, The Ebbtide.
"Conceptually, it is an open musing on nature and our place in it," Mersky told The Ebbtide. "The physical location of the school, adjacent to a beautiful forested area, and just above the Puget Sound, have contributed greatly to the formation of this idea."
While Mersky has a number of public-art pieces up and down the West Coast, including one just south of the International Fountain at the Seattle Center, that doesn't mean she's comfortable with the "public" aspect.
"My explanation for my own pursuit of public art is simply that I like to be scared," Deborah Mersky wrote in an on-line artist's statement. "…seeing my imagination sprawled about a publicly-used building is perhaps 51 percent intoxicating and 49 percent percent horrifying."

Ford, Honda New-Product Cycle Should Woo Buyers, Report
Mark ClothierFord Motor Co. and Honda Motor Co. stand to capture more of the U.S. automotive market than their counterparts during the next four years as they woo buyers with new products such as Ford's aluminum F-150 pickup.
Ford's most critical new product is its aluminum F-150. The automaker is retooling two factories to make the pickup, part of a plan this year to add 16 new models in North America. The company says its new F-150 is about 700 pounds (318 kilograms) lighter than the steel version it will replace, which should increase its fuel efficiency.
"That kind of improvement in that truck could create some shifts in the market share of Ford to the positive side," John Murphy, a Bank of America Corp. auto analyst, told reporters today in Detroit after he presented his annual "Car Wars" report.
Ford, the second-largest U.S. automaker, and Honda may refresh or replace 28 percent of their annual sales volume in the period from 2015 through 2018, compared to an industry average of 23 percent. Murphy's estimates for his report are based on the assumption that consumers swayed by new products are drawn to dealer lots to buy vehicles.
Restocked showrooms will meet a strong appetite if sales trends seen in May continue. Car buyers flocked to showrooms last month, encouraged by strong stock and housing markets, rising consumer confidence and a jobless rate that's hovering at an almost 6-year low. Industrywide, U.S. auto sales rose 11 percent to 1.61 million light vehicles in May, researcher Autodata Corp. said, topping the average analyst estimate of 1.54 million. The annualized pace, adjusted for seasonal trends, rose to 16.8 million, the highest since February 2007.
Honda Pipeline
For Ford, based in Dearborn, Michigan, new products should increase its share of the U.S. market by half a percentage point to 16.2 percent by 2017 from the end of last year. Honda's should increase by the same amount, to 10.3 percent, Bank of America said.
Honda's pipeline includes a 2015 Acura TLX sedan, a 2016 Pilot sport utility vehicle and a new Odyssey minivan for model year 2017 for the Tokyo-based automaker, the report said.
Industrywide, automakers will bring 192 new products to the U.S. market for model years 2015 through 2018, for an average of 48 a year, according to the report. The pipeline is weighted toward crossovers and light trucks, which will increase the mix of those segments to more than half the U.S. vehicle market by 2018, from about 45 percent in the years between 2005 and 2014, the report found.
That pace is about 28 percent faster than the average number of models released between 1994 and 2014. The jump is partly fueled by an expansion into new vehicle segments, including crossovers, utilities and hybrids and the resurgence of companies such as Chrysler Group LLC, whose revitalization under Turin, Italy-based parent Fiat SpA has led to 50 straight months of sales gains in the U.S.
U.S. automakers are now bringing new products to market every four or five years, from a traditional rate of every seven or eight years, Bank of America said.

Getting non-golfers from console to course
Every year since 1986, the National Golf Foundation has surveyed the American public to figure out how many golfers there are. This year, for the first time, it also began trying to measure the number of people who play computer or video golf games, and the results are quite eye-opening.
In 2011, the NGF estimates, 25.7 million people (aged 6 and over) played at least one round of golf, while 56 million people played video or computer golf – that's more than twice as many as the number of actual golfers.
But here's the interesting part – of those 56 million golf gamers, only about 10 million also played golf on a real course. Seven million of the gamers were "lapsed golfers," while 39 million have never played actual golf.
So the question is, the NGF says, are these non-golfing gamers more interested in playing golf than other non-golfers? The answer, they say, is yes.
According to the survey, 22 percent of non-golfing gamers are interested in playing golf now, compared with only 7 percent of their non-gaming counterparts. The NGF estimates that about 10 million people from the non-golfing gamer crowd have an un-activated demand for playing the real thing.
Who are these people? More than half are under the age of 30, and 29 percent of them are juniors (age 6-17). And 44 percent of the gamers are female – that's a huge increase over the current population of golfers, which is only 19 percent female.
Golf gaming represents a promising gateway to growing participation among younger and female Americans, the NGF summarizes. The NGF and the PGA of America's Golf 2.0 team will be looking at ways to convert these folks from consoles to courses, and it'll be very interesting to see how that goes.

4 eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter, melted and
cooled but still liquid
1 10-inch tart pan, preferably with a
removable bottom
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease and flour the tart pan. Melt butter in a saucepan and cool while you proceed with recipe.
Beat eggs in a mixing bowl with a hand-held electric beater until they are light and lemon-colored. Add the sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, and beat well after each addition. After the sugar is in, continue beating about five to 10 minutes until you can dribble some of the mixture from the beater onto the remainder in the bowl and leave a "trail" that doesn't sink. Add the vanilla. With a wire whisk, gently fold in flour, and finally the butter.
Pour the mixture into the tart pan and bake 20 to 21 minutes or until the cake has pulled away from the sides of the pan and the center springs back when pressed (or test with a cake tester in the middle).
Cool the cake for 10 minutes. If the sides of the cake haven't pulled away from the pan, gently separate the cake from the pan with the tip of a paring knife. Lift the cake out of the sides. Then gently loosen the bottom of the cake from the pan with a long, flat thin knife and move the cake to a cake plate. Let the cake on the plate cool completely on a rack before topping with fruit and glaze.
Yield: 1 10-inch cake tart

A few years ago before Facebook was widely available to everyone and still confined to students, MySpace was the king of this burgeoning new world of online social networking. My friends and I were first understanding the idea of what having a version of yourself on the internet that anyone could see at any time really meant, when one of the more social among us died suddenly.
It was a traumatic and tragic way that he died but the ever-present geek in me eventually wondered about his MySpace profile. I checked it out. The comments section was jammed full of condolences and "I miss you"s, the most interesting of which were messages from family members and friends who had lost touch. I knew these commenters weren't that connected to him in real life, and it was powerful to see them reach out in a public forum and proclaim their regret and grief over losing someone not yet clear of their twenties. It must have had some therapeutic value for them, like going to a grave and leaving flowers or some other significant object as a gesture of love. Eventually, his profile disappeared.
More recently, a friend of a friend died under similarly tragic circumstances and the same thing happened. His MySpace profile was bombarded with well wishes and for a while an almost daily reminder from his sister, stating how much she loved and missed him. Being curious and slightly removed from the situation, having never met him, I checked the profile every day to see how things unfolded. Eventually I stopped checking as people posted less and less, their grief apparently dwindling and sealing up. Recently, I went to check out the profile and found nothing there. An empty internet void we're all too familiar with when there are no search results. A huge white space where a friend of a friend used to be. My search "did not match any documents."
Luckily a page had been created solely for the purpose of memorializing him and that page still exists. Being a big part of the local underground stand-up scene, his new profile is loaded with clips of comedians we can assume he enjoyed, an online test showing that of all the superheroes he could be, he is Batman, and a similar string of comments from loved ones and friends wishing him a happy birthday and talking to him as if he were reading it all, which is a bigger discussion for another day that we at AOTB are not qualified to moderate.
A friend told the story in my living room recently of someone she knew who kept a LiveJournal and for one year made suicidal threats and even counted down to his own suicide, except he post-dated every post for one year later and when he was done making the posts, he killed himself. So, for a year after his death, posts from him would show up among his friend's blogrolls and his journal continued to update until the countdown had finished one year after his death. Now aside from being a cold, pre-meditated stunt meant to torture the living, this bit of genius can serve as a good anecdote for what happens when the owner of a blog passes away.
Tim Smith, a PR representative for LiveJournal told us, "when a journal owner passes away, the journal is placed in memorial status" and that this "practice of placing a journal in memorial status has been going on for at least 5 years… Once an account is moved into memorial status, the account will not be deleted or removed." We can only assume that since his posts were still coming up on a regular basis that no one notified the LiveJournal staff and obviously it would be impossible and mildly frightening if the LJ staff took it upon themselves to monitor everyone's blog.
Facebook is the only social networking site that makes mention of such a circumstance. Under the rather foreboding headline of "Termination," the Facebook Terms of Service state that, "When we are notified that a user has died, we will generally, but are not obligated to, keep the user's account active under a special memorialized status for a period of time determined by us to allow other users to post and view comments." The MySpace and Twitter TOS make no mention of any similar process and they did not get back to us in time for this article, but it can be assumed that they have a similar take.
Which leads me to the big question; As our lives grow progressively into a more online state, doesn't it make sense that our death should live there, too?
For the eternally morbidly curious, you can check out Tributes.com, a new searchable database of obituaries developed by Monster.com founder Jeff Taylor and launched last summer as a continuation of his crusade to help usher newspapers into oblivion. Tributes.com strives to work with funeral homes across the country to create a database of obits that cuts the papers out completely. They've said the obituaries posted to the site will stay up indefinitely and condolences left by the grieving may come down after 5 or 10 years. Of course, being a business model, the site also offers three different "tribute packages" where loved ones can register, login and pay money to upload memories in the form of pictures, songs, and videos, the page of which looks like a web hosting breakdown or a sheet comparing car insurance quotes.
I took a trip around Tributes.com and searched for the obits of lost loved ones. I found it cold, unfamiliar, and opportunistic, like so many funeral homes and cemeteries. So my question is this, if Facebook and MySpace are going to be deleting these profiles from existence, what recourse does the grieving user have? Well, you can create a fake profile with a new login that acts as a memorial for the deceased, but something about that feels weird. It's legally sticky to release the login information to friends and/or family who might desire to login in perpetuity to manage a virtual online gravesite and it seems callous and morbid for Facebook to put up some kind of stamp on the user's profile delineating the living members from the dead. Is it best for them to just let these profiles slowly fade out of our memory and off our cloud servers?
We've known for a long time that death is not an easy process. We've attempted to break down the stages of grieving into 5 easy consecutive stages, we've set up systems of payment for those who survive the deceased, we've even managed to invent a whole set of euphemisms for those who have "passed on." But death is not an easy process, financial boon, or topic of discussion. It's a complicated mess that permeates the living's day-to-day lives. We treat this new online social landscape as a playground where we constantly upload our live's totality in the form of pictures, videos, status updates, and cat macros, but as more of us shuffle off this mortal coil, we're going to lose some of that innocence. We're going to come face to face with death in growing numbers, that inevitable thing that makes us DO before there can be no more DOing.
And you may come face to face with it yourself. That is, unless it gets deleted first.

Wow, this is a very serious subject that really could be argued in so many ways. But it did answer a lot of the questions I had about that kind of thing. The real gray area for me is the slow fading of profiles, cause in a sense the memorial could very well act like a grave site, and to return and not have it there could be hard to bare for some. I just hope things work out before I pass so I don't have to worry about what happens when I go. Gonna have to push this and see what my friends think before getting too deep on my own.

It was announced at a regular scheduled fiscal court meeting on Monday that Washington County will be undergoing a change in its 911 system in the near future, according to local Emergency 911 board member Kevin Devine.
The public-safety answering point (PSAP) system currently in use was adopted only three-and-a-half years ago, but Devine said the change will be a long-term financial advantage to the county.
Also making the switch are Nelson, Shelby, Oldham and Bullitt counties, and the five counties have been discussing working together to everyone's benefit.

Homeserve was today handed a £34.5 million fine by the City regulator after an investigation into alleged mis-selling at the emergency repairs group.
The penalty from the Financial Conduct Authority was higher than the company expected, even after a 30% discount for early settlement.
However, shares still rose more than 3% as analysts claimed Homeserve was close to putting the issue behind it.
HomeServe, which provides cover for household emergencies such as broken boilers, suspended all its telephone sales and marketing operations back in 2011 after an independent report found call centre staff were mis-selling products.
The company has since cut jobs, overhauled its rules and regulations and also received a £750,000 fine from Ofcom.
"The ongoing activities of the UK business are unaffected by this notice and the business continues to trade in line with expectations," Homeserve said in a statement.
Liberum Capital today raised its target price on Homeserve's shares from 250p to 330p.
The broker added that it believes "Homeserve has taken a major step in putting regulatory issues behind it… UK customer growth is ahead and cost savings are on track. There is modest growth in France with high retention and strong US customer growth."

Choosing the scope of trade secret law when secrets complement patents
We present a model where an incumbent firm has a proprietary product whose technology consists of at least two components, one of which is patented while the other is kept secret. At the patent expiration date, an entrant firm will enter the market on the same technological footing as the incumbent if it is successful in duplicating, at certain costs, the secret component of the incumbent's technology. Otherwise, it will enter the market with a production cost disadvantage. We show that under some conditions a broad scope of trade secret law is socially beneficial.

United in for Fulham star
Man United, Updated:
[.[views].], BY ClubCall
Manchester United are rumoured to have had a £7m bid rejected by Fulham for Belgian international forward Moussa Dembele this summer.
His agent Jan de Visser claims United are now weighing up a fresh approach for the 25-year-old, who is also attracting interest from Real Madrid. Tottenham and Inter Milan.
Dembele has been a big hit at Craven Cottage since joining the west Londoners from AZ Alkmaar in 2010 for £5m, but speculation about his future is intensifying as he is entering the final year of his contract.
De Visser, of management agency Sport International, confirmed United's admiration in the player after news broke of Real's offer for his services which has also been knocked back by Fulham.
He told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf: "They are not the first big club who have contacted us this summer for him."
