From Kingsbur, California, USA:
I have had type 1 diabetes for 37 years, and recently, I have been experiencing numbness in my hands. At first, I thought it was just sleeping on them during the night and cutting off circulation, but as it continued, I got worried it could have something to do with my diabetes and circulation. However, they were not numb upon rising; usually 30-45 minutes afterwards, and they alternated between right and left hand, and it was never consistent.
I started tracking and recording when this occurred. Sometimes it happened in the morning; sometimes in the afternoon, but there never any consistency except I started noticing that whenever my blood sugar dropped, my hand or hands got numb! I had never heard of this symptom for hypoglycemia before! Sometimes low blood sugars produce this result; other times not. Since I have been tracking it, it does seem to be a precursor to a low blood sugar about 80% of the time. In fact, if I do feel the numbness, I can almost bet a low blood sugar is coming on. This is different than the "tingling" feeling I sometimes get with a drop in blood sugars, and is something quite new. It's really strange that it is happening all of a sudden during the past year or so.
Is this a documented symptom of hypoglycemia or something rare/unique? Have other people with diabetes reported such a symptom?
From my clinical experience, this is not a common symptom of hypoglycemia. However, when low sugars occur, the nerves may not have enough glucose around to allow for a source of energy.
However, in addition to diabetes-related neuropathy, you need to consider whether this is also related to carpal tunnel syndrome which is associated with diabetes and gets worse with repetitive activities.

at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and the
student-athletes and trainers from all men's and women's teams at Wake
Forest University and Winston-Salem State University
will be contributing to the largest-ever study of concussion in sport.
The NCAA-Department
of Defense Concussion Assessment, Research and Education (CARE) Consortium
study is designed to examine the natural history of concussion among student-athletes
of both sexes at colleges and universities in all NCAA divisions. Wake Forest
and Winston-Salem State are among the nine NCAA member schools added to the
study this month, bringing the total number of participating institutions to
State is the first historically black college or university to be included in
the research project. A member of NCAA Division II, Winston-Salem State fields
10 varsity teams that compete in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic
are excited to be represented in in this concussion study and to partner with
Wake Forest University and Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in this endeavor,"
said Tonia Walker, Winston-Salem State's director of athletics. "We anticipate
the outcome of the study will aid in enhanced preventive care for the student
athletes and pay dividends in the years to come."
Forest, a member of Division I, competes in 16 sports in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
safety and well-being of our student-athletes is our primary concern," said Ron
Wellman, Wake Forest's athletic director. "Our participation in this program
will not only serve those at Wake Forest but also student-athletes from around
the nation."
this summer, the Wake Forest Baptist personnel will direct the comprehensive
preseason baseline screening for concussion on all Wake Forest and
Winston-Salem State athletes (including cheerleaders). Any student-athlete who subsequently
suffers a concussion will undergo follow-up evaluation.
Wake Forest Baptist effort will be led by a multidisciplinary team that
includes Christopher Miles, M.D., assistant
professor of family and community medicine;
Laura Lintner, D.O., assistant
professor of family and community medicine;
Christopher Whitlow, M.D., Ph.D.,
associate professor of radiology; and Joel Stitzel, Ph.D., professor and
chair of biomedical engineering.

the same role at Winston-Salem State. Together they will direct the CARE
Consortium data-collection activities through the Department of Family and
Community Medicine.
is an incredible opportunity for Wake Forest Baptist to enhance our partnership
with Wake Forest and Winston-Salem State in this national effort to understand,
manage and mitigate the risk of head impacts in athletics at the collegiate
level," Miles said. "The study also will potentially allow us to expand our
ongoing National Institutes of Health-funded research into these issues in
youth and adolescent athletes, with the ultimate goal of making sports safer."
information gathered from the student-athletes at the participating schools is
analyzed by a research team led by scientists at the University of Michigan,
Medical College of Wisconsin and Indiana University School of Medicine.
CARE Consortium study, begun in 2014, already has collected data from more than
16,000 male and female student-athletes. That number is expected to increase to
25,000 during the third year of the study.
NCAA and Defense Department have dedicated $30 million to the concussion study
and an initiative to spur culture change regarding concussion. Participating
institutions receive funds on a year-to-year basis to cover the costs of
conducting the research. For Wake Forest Baptist, Wake Forest and Winston-Salem
State, the total amount of funding for the 2016-17 academic year is
approximately $300,000.

Well, the rain has stopped for a little while, though there's a reasonable chance we'll get some more today. 304mm so far, in a span of about 36 hours! It's stuff like this that really screws-up the averages.
The N2 (national road) is/was blocked in at least two places nearby. Over 1000 people have had to be airlifted to safety. More rain forecast for Monday.
Our road is very badly damaged, but people seem to be getting in and out. Several people in the neighbourhood have been asking the district roads people to fix the culvert for a long time, now, to no avail. My guess is that they'll get around to fixing it just in time for the next floods!

When someone dies, you'll need to obtain a physician's certificate and a death certificate for legal and estate purposes.
Physician's certificates. State laws require that a licensed doctor formally pronounce a person dead, generally after physically examining the body. There are some exceptions to the examination requirement, such as when another medical professional describes the person's medical condition to the doctor, who is then satisfied that death has occurred.
Usually, the deceased's attending or primary care physician will complete the certification, although the county medical examiner or coroner can also do so if called in to investigate a death.
Most laws set a time limit of 24 to 48 hours within which the certification of death must be signed. This is a prerequisite for obtaining a death certificate.
Death certificates. Certified copies of a death certificate, which cost about $10 to $15 each, are needed for:
- Probating estates.
- Processing insurance claims.
- Getting Social Security, veterans or retirement benefits, and other benefits on the deceased's behalf.
If you're using the services of a funeral home, the funeral director may help complete the death certificate and secure copies, for an extra service fee.
If you need to get copies on your own, contact the local county records office if the death was recent. A few months after a death, you can obtain a death certificate from the state records office. Get information on where to order and how much copies cost through the National Center for Health Statistics.
Initially, it's a good idea to get at least ten copies of the death certificate, because institutions such as banks, government agencies, credit card and insurance companies, former employers, and stock brokerages will each request a copy (which they won't return to you) when asked to close accounts or transfer property from the deceased to another person.

Birdwatching In Tobago: A Visitor's Guide
A visitor's guide, by David Tomlinson
HUMMINGBIRDS on the feeders, motmots in the bushes, frigate birds over the beach: Tobago provides an exciting introduction to the pleasures of birdwatching in the American tropics. Much of the enjoyment comes from the fact that the birds are both colourful and tame, and so easily observed. Even without binoculars it's easy to get fantastic views, or with a simple digital camera to take great photographs.
From an ornithological perspective Tobago isn't part of the West Indies, for its avifauna is very much Venezuelan. This means that the variety of birds to be found on the island is considerably greater than any of the Caribbean islands of comparable size. Only Cuba, which is 350 times bigger, can boast more birds. However, Tobago's big brother, Trinidad, has a far greater diversity of species than Tobago, and rather more than Cuba.
To put this in perspective, a fortnight's reasonably intensive birding on Tobago won't produce much more than 100 species, but if you spend four days on Tobago and 10 on Trinidad you can expect to record around 200. Over 400 species of birds have been recorded on Trinidad, of which around 250 breed, but Tobago's list is closer to 200, of which fewer than 90 breed regularly. Don't forget that these figures include a number of vagrant species that have only been recorded a few times.
Thus descriptions of Tobago as a birdwatcher's paradise are a little over the top. Serious birdwatchers relish the challenge of finding new birds and identifying difficult species:birdwatching on Tobago doesn't offer that sort of challenge. With a little help from an experienced local guide it's not difficult to see virtually all the potential birds that Tobago holds during just a few days.
However, if you've never been to the Neotropics before Tobago does offer a wonderful introduction to many South American bird families without the risk of being overwhelmed by the sheer variety of species. Six species of hummingbirds, for example, breed on the island, and it's not difficult to see them all. In contrast, Venezuela has nearly 100, including all six that are found on Tobago. Intriguingly, Tobago's rarest hummer, the white-tailed sabrewing, doesn't occur at all on Trinidad and isn't easy to find in Venezuela.
There are a number of other species in addition to the sabrewing that occur on Tobago but not Trinidad. They are the red-billed tropicbird, rufous-vented chachalaca, striped owl, red-crowned woodpecker, olivaceous woodcreeper, white-fringed antwren, blue-backed manakin, Venezuelan flycatcher, Caribbean martin, scrub greenlet, black-faced grassquit and variable seedeater. You might struggle to find the striped owl, but all the others are relatively easy to locate.
One of Tobago's advantages over Trinidad is the fact that a number of the most attractive species, such as rufous-tailed jacamar and blue-crowned motmot, are much easier to see here. A visit to Little Tobago is also a must for birdwatchers, as there's nothing like it on Trinidad. Here, from December to July, you can enjoy the spectacle of hundreds of red-billed tropicbirds soaring over their breeding grounds, and you can even see these delightful birds at the nest. There's no more elegant creature than a tropicbird, nor more effortless flier, so to visit Little Tobago is a treat for anyone interested in enjoying spectacles of nature. Incidentally, white-tailed tropicbirds have also been recorded regularly in recent years, though finding one among all the red-bills is a challenge.
Little Tobago also offers the opportunity to see a number of other seabirds, including three species of booby. Though you have to be lucky so see the blue-faced or masked, you should see both brown and red-footed without any trouble.
For many years Little Tobago was famous for its colony of greater bird-of-paradise, a native of New Guinea. Sir William Ingram introduced some 48 birds here in 1909. Though a nest was never found, the birds evidently bred successfully as the colony survived for many years. By 1979 just a pair remained, and extinction must have followed soon after.
The secret of seeing the maximum number of birds on Tobago is to visit as wide a variety of habitats as possible. Unlike Trinidad, Tobago has no extensive marshes or lakes, no swamp forest and no mountain forest over 2,000ft, but there are small pockets of special habitats that are always rewarding. For waterbirds a visit to the sewage ponds near Pigeon Point is a must. Here you should see a small variety of ducks, including white-cheeked pintails, red-billed (or black-bellied) whistling ducks and blue-winged teal, though there is always a chance of finding an unexpected species. In December 2003 I saw three northern pintails here, the first record for the island.
During the northern winter you can expect to see a variety of North American waders, including lesser and greater yellowlegs, willet and whimbrel, as well as the resident southern lapwing. It's a great place for herons, and eight species on a single visit is not unusual. Look carefully to see both little and the closely related snowy egrets. The former, a recent arrival on the island, is best identified by less yellow on the legs than the snowy, as well as black rather than yellow lores (the bare skin around the beak and eyes).
The mangroves between the pools and the sea are a productive area to look for wintering North American warblers, and with luck you might find prothonotary and yellow warblers here, along with a variety of flycatchers. Look out, too, for mangrove cuckoos. This is also a reliable site for the curious smooth-billed ani.
Hilton Pools, close to the Hilton Hotel, are the largest freshwater lakes on the island. Ask permission before entering, then look for more wildfowl and waders. You should see least grebes and anhingas (the so-called snake bird or water turkey), neotropical cormorants and moorhens (the same as we have in Europe). This is a good site for yellow-headed caracara, a new addition to Tobago's list of breeding birds and now increasing.
Grafton Bird Sanctuary has long been famous as one of Tobago's premier birdwatching sites, and it remains so today. Crowds of birds are attracted to the feeders, and it's a great place for getting good views of chacalacas, a variety of doves and tanagers, and motmots coming to the feeders. Red-rumped woodpeckers – the hardest to find of the three species found on Tobago – can also be seen here. Walk the trails and you should be rewarded with good views of white-fringed antwrens, scrub greenlets and orange-winged parrots, with soaring broad-winged hawks overhead.
It's always worth checking out any promising habitat for birds. Not far from Grafton, at Turtle Beach, you will find a small freshwater lagoon behind the southern end of the beach. Here, if you're lucky you might find spotted and solitary sandpipers, possibly both belted and green kingfishers, as well as green herons.
Many of the hotels hang out sugared water to attract hummingbirds, and there's nowhere better on the island to see hummingbirds than the feeders at Arnos Vale. You don't have to stay at the hotel to enjoy the birds, as visitors are welcome to have afternoon tea on the terrace and enjoy the spectacle. Five species of hummer can be seen here, Copper-rumped is the most common, but look out for the ruby-topaz, as spectacular as it names suggests, and the beautiful white-necked Jacobin.
The gardens at Arnos Vale are also rich in birds (but you can find a similar selection elsewhere – it's just an easy place to look for them). Watch out for barred antshrikes, cocoa woodcreepers and bare-eyed thrushes, along with blue-grey, palm and white-lined tanagers. During the northern winter northern waterthrushes are easy to find along the streams. The name is misleading, for these attractive birds are really North American warblers, not thrushes.
Sitting on the beach watching the sea for birds is a pleasant way to spend the hottest part of the day. Magnificent frigatebirds are numerous and impossible to miss, along with brown pelicans and laughing gulls, but you should also see both royal and Sandwich terns. Ospreys breed on Tobago; numbers increase in the winter when the residents are joined by migrants from the north, so they are quite common. You can watch them fishing anywhere around the coast. Look out, too, for yellow-crowned night herons. As their name suggests, they are most active at dusk and on into the night, but they can often be seen during the day. If you're lucky you might see flights of Audubon's shearwaters skimming the waves, but brown boobies are much easier to spot.
Certain birds are common almost anywhere on the island. Yellow and black bannaquits are always tame and approachable, while there are four species of doves that are commonly encountered: pale-vented pigeon (the biggest species), ruddy ground dove, white-tipped dove and the diminutive eared dove. Tropical mockingbirds are bold, confident birds that also sing well, while look out too for both tropical and grey kingbirds and house wrens. There aren't any crows or starlings, but Carib grackles are rather starling like, and giant cowbirds do look like small crows. Overhead, watch for short-tailed swifts and Caribbean martins.
A must on any birdwatcher's itinerary is the Main Ridge, a luxuriant, evergreen rainforest. This is the coolest part of the island, so you might need a sweater or, equally likely, a raincoat, for your visit. A walk along the trail here will give the opportunity to see a number of species that can't be found anywhere else on the island. Some, like the white-tailed sabrewing hummingbird, are relatively easy to see, but others are more difficult. It takes time to spot your first collared trogon, as these beautiful birds tend to sit quietly and not draw attention to themselves. Look out, too, for yellow-legged thrushes that look remarkably like European blackbirds, along with olive-green woodpeckers and blue-backed manakins, the latter an absolute stunner.
Without a guide you might well struggle to find, let along identify, some of the less obvious species such as streaked and fuscous flycatchers, but there's no mistaking the handsome red-legged honeycreeper or the exquisitely named violaceous euphonia. One of the hardest birds to find is the tiny white-throated spadebill, an inconspicuous and solitary flycatcher.
One of the great advantages of venturing into the forest with an experienced local bird guide is that he (I'm unaware of any female guides) should know all the calls and songs, which makes finding birds so much easier. He will also know from experience what birds should be where, and will almost certainly know of a fruiting tree that's currently attracting birds. If you've got plenty of time and patience, and are a practised birder, then you will probably be able to find your own birds, but if time is limited, book a guide. A good guide may also produce an unexpected bonus: on my last trip my guide, Newton George, showed me a roosting common potoo that I would never have found otherwise.
The best plan is arguably to take a guide for your first visit to Main Ridge, but then go back again and explore by yourself. Birding from the road is often productive, stopping regularly wherever there is a good view or if you see an interesting bird. The drive up to Main Ridge from the east coast is particularly productive. From the top of the ridge watch for soaring raptors: you should see the impressive great black hawk, which is in fact more numerous than the very similar common black hawk. If you see a small, buzzard-like raptor then it's most likely a broad-winged hawk; this species is resident on Tobago. Look out for merlins. Though the same species as the birds that breed on our moors, it's not unusual to see them on Tobago hunting in clearings in the rain forest. They are fairly common winter visitors from North America.
Frustratingly, Tobago doesn't have an up-too-date bird book that's easy to use. Most birdwatchers buy (and struggle with) A Guide to the Birds of Trinidad and Tobago, by Richard ffrench. Sadly, the illustrations are poor and not a great help to identification, while most migrant North American birds are simply not illustrated. It was a reasonable guide when it was first published, but that was over 30 years ago. A useful compromise is to carry Helm Identification Guides: Birds of the West Indies by Herbert Raffaele, despite the fact that it doesn't cover all the birds you might find on Tobago. Couple it with the Birds of Venezuela by Steven Hilty and you should be able to identify everything you encounter.
Equipment? Binoculars are essential, while a telescope is extremely useful, preferably with a wide-angle lens rather than a zoom. I find a 20x eyepiece ideal in the rain forest, as it provides a wide field of view and lets in lots of light. Many birds are tame so relatively easy to photograph. If you are a skilled digiscoper (taking photographs through your telescope) then you are sure to have lots of fun on Tobago. Though you can hire Wellington boots to walk in the rain forest, the mud is seldom deep, and in my experience you can easily gat away with decent walking boots. Insects are unlikely to be a major problem, while I can't recall encountering any leeches.
Be warned that the top bird guides, such as Newton George, do get booked up well in advance, so it pays to arrange your guide well before you arrive in Tobago. Though the best guides on Tobago aren't cheap to hire, especially compared with other tropical destinations, they will enhance your birding experience by telling you so much more about the natural history of the island apart from just finding you the birds you want to see. Do get alternative quotes for your boat trip to Little Tobago, and make sure that your boatman gives you sufficient time to really enjoy your visit. Anything less than three hours is unlikely to be enough.
If you are serious about your birds, then arranging a two- or three-night visit to Trinidad, staying at Asa Wright, is an attractive option that isn't expensive. It will give you the chance to see a good number of species that don't occur on Tobago, such as the spectacularly noisy bearded bellbird and the channel-billed toucan. Be sure to include a tour of Caroni Swamp: the spectacle of hundreds of scarlet ibises coming in to roost is not to be missed.

Then you have to take that piece of cotton and lightly press it on your forehead and eyes and then tie it around the neck of the critically ill person. This will remove the fear of death and dying from his mind. Please keep in mind that if it is the will of Shiva the person might even get well and recover.

One glance at Gary Hazelwood and his chili pepper print shirt, and you know what he's about.
The native Texan sells salsa. His shirt, covered in red and green peppers and the occasional blossoming flower, makes people passing his set-up in a grocery store feel comfortable, he said. The gentle Texas drawl lets them know the salsa is authentic, and the taste speaks for itself.
Hazelwood recently brought his passion for, as he likes to call it, the country's best-selling condiment, to the Portland area. He moved to Happy Valley in July to be closer to grandchildren who live in the area.
It's the same salsa he's been selling in Texas grocery stores for the past few years, but with a manufacturing plant in Lake Oswego now churning out his four salsas -- among them the signature and award-winning smoky sweet salsa -- Hazelwood is now tailoring his labeling to Oregon.
An outline of the state now graces the label with the signature "made in Oregon" note, as does a mention that it's gluten free. "Texas is known for its salsa and barbecue, and Texans have a lot of pride with that, but Oregonians have a lot of pride, too, so I wanted to make sure I was showing I support Portland and Oregon."
Salsa wasn't always Hazelwood's business, but after losing his job in 2001 as an executive at a construction company the idea started to take root. Despite thriving as a sales director for a health insurance company after that, Hazelwood said he'd always wanted to own his own business. Salsa was the way to do that.
His first batch was produced in 2009. While he hadn't actually sold any of the jars yet, Hazelwood decided to enter it into the competition at the National Fiery Foods and Barbecue show a few months later in Albuquerque, N.M. Up against salsa giants including Pace and dozens more local and national brands, Hazelwood wasn't expecting a prize.
He took third place in the unique processed salsa category.
Working off that momentum, Hazelwood cultivated a loyal following at the farmers market in Rockwall, a suburb where he lived outside of Dallas, and eventually persuaded a manager to stock it at the local Kroger-owned store. Today, Hazelwood said, it's sold in a couple hundred Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana.
"So now I'm here trying to do the same thing," he said.
Lamb's Markets around the Portland metro area
Hazelwood's gained traction with the help of local blogger and tax professor Jack Bogdanski, who featured the salsa on his blog after trying it at a local store. Soon after, KPAM radio host Bob Miller passed a jar around on the air.
Nancy LeClaire, the manager at Morrow Brothers Produce in Happy Valley, said Hazelwood's salsa stands out from other locally made salsa the market carries purely because of its flavors. "They've got a great natural flavor," she said. "With a lot of salsas you might taste one of the vegetables more than the others, like tomato. With his, you can taste all of the different vegetables."
LeClaire said the store practically sells out of the salsa every week or so, with customers often buying two or three jars.
Hazelwood said he'll start selling the salsa at more stores in the coming months.
"I wasn't sure if people in Portland would like Texas-style salsa when I moved here," he said. "So far, it's really been a dream come true."

Kazakhkstan: Astana Serves as Symbol of Change in Central Asia
Ikuru Kuwajima, Justin Burke Dec 15, 2011
The quickest way to measure the distance traveled by Central Asian states since the 1991 Soviet implosion is to take a look at Astana, Kazakhstan's capital.
Astana's architectural makeover certainly contains hints of Soviet-style monumentalism, most notably evident in the new housing stock found around the city. But the capital's showcase pieces, in particular Norman Foster's Pyramid of Peace, signify a break with the Communist past.
This EurasiaNet.org audio-visual montage documents Astana's transformation over the past two decades. From a dusty, backwater provincial city in 1991, Astana has quickly come to represent the changes brought about by Central Asia's energy wealth.
Astana can trace its roots back to the 1820s, when a band of Russian Cossacks set up a military outpost on the site. It is intriguing to wonder what those Cossacks would have said if they had been told back then that the place would one day become the capital of an independent Kazakhstan.

While picking up a lovely gift box of chocolates at Xocolat this past week, I noticed a coupon on the counter for 30% off one item at Koo de Ker. I snatched one up and hit the sale rack within minutes and found a pair of denim city shorts marked down from $60 to $15. Cha-ching.
So head to Xocolat (two doors down from Trio near 9th & 9th) and treat yourself to a decadent cup of cocoa or a few gourmet chocolates (my faves include mole and pina) and pick up a coupon. Koo de Ker is in the neighborhood so it makes for a fun little outing.
The offer is good through Tuesday, November 20th.
Note: Between Xocolat & Trio is Nailed--the best place in town to take your 10-year-old daughter for a child mani/pedi. Nailed offers a full service style menu for kids and adults alike.

Cornbread smeared with sweet orange marmalade and live music helped mark a celebration in East Durham last week as residents welcomed the first grocery store to open in the neighborhood in at least 50 years.
TROSA, the Durham-based nonprofit, opened the store on the corner of Angier Avenue and Driver Street. Two miles from the revitalized downtown center, the corner is in the middle of a struggling neighborhood where crime deters most commercial development.
"I don't have to tell you that this grocery store brings much needed services to the community," Durham Mayor Bill Bell told the crowd. "It brings a great deal of pride and spirit. The community is coming to life."
The store is part of a regional effort to provide low-income communities access to affordable, healthy food. In the 1940s and '50s, Andrews Market stood in the space adjacent to the new TROSA Grocery. Jimmy Andrews and his sister, Betsy Brogdon, stood reminiscing at the grand opening on the same corner where, as children, they passed out fliers for their father's grocery. The store was part of a vibrant community that was later left desolate and rife with crime.
"I'm so glad someone stepped forward and opened up something, trying to get the community back up again," says Andrews.
Many of the neighborhood's residents walk or rely on public transportation to get around. With the nearest chain grocery store almost two miles away, the most practical alternatives are nearby convenience stores, which offer little or no fresh food.
That communities like East Durham exist in what researchers have dubbed "food deserts" is nothing new. What is new is that researchers and policymakers are beginning to connect these food deserts with the pervasive problems of hunger and obesity that afflict the poor.
According to Wendy Nol, the store's project manager, almost 20,000 people in the neighborhood live at least one mile from a standard grocery store. For more than 40,000, that distance is two miles. Most residents walk to Los Primos, a Hispanic market on Alston Avenue, about a mile from TROSA Grocery.
"Our store will be a primary food source to the neighborhoods that can't easily get to markets," she says. "When you're walking a mile with bags of groceries, it's not convenient. Even on buses, with groceries, and especially for elderly people, it's difficult."
TROSA Grocery is as inviting as an old friend with a sunny disposition: a yellow sunrise logo and the slogan "Good Food, Close to Home" stamped on the glass doors. Two large, bright windows elicit compliments from customers impressed with the clean, newly renovated 2,000 square-foot store. A vibrant produce display, as charming as a roadside stand, includes a variety of local leafy greens, fresh vegetables and colorful fruit. Small sacks of dry beans and canned Gerber baby products line shelves. Cheddar blocks and juice boxes sit in refrigerated rows. A display of TROSA brand jams, honey and pickled products welcomes customers.
In keeping with the organization's primary mission of being a long-term, residential recovery program, the store does not sell alcohol. (TROSA stands for Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers.)
Joseph Bushfan owns the building that houses TROSA Grocery. It is adjacent to his Joe's Diner, where $5 buys a solid meal. Hailing from Roxbury, a notoriously rough neighborhood in Boston, Bushfan once owned a personal security business for affluent celebrities. His work led him to Durham, where he noticed the disconnect between East Durham's community and the neighboring revitalized areas. He learned even more from pushing a hot dog cart down the block, selling to residents as they dragged groceries home from Alston Avenue.
"As I used to sit out here, I'd see kids come by me with holes in their T-shirts, no sneakers," he says.
Bushfan intended to open a grocery alongside the restaurant in January. With the help of Durham businessman and former city councilman Dan Hill, he landed a Neighborhood Commercial Revitalization grant to renovate the building. The grant reimburses them 80 percent of their expenses, or up to $200,000. The new tenants have turned a gritty block into a district with promise. The city suggested TROSA run the grocery, its completion the final stage in securing the grant.
"We hope it will be the catalyst for people coming back to a business district that was abandoned 30 years ago," says Hill, a city councilman from 1999–2001.
He says that until recently the area was "the bull's eye for tough stuff going on," including gang activity. "We'll see a lot more people walking to the grocery store to get some exercise," Hill says. "As the community stabilizes and takes back the neighborhood, they will feel comfortable walking outside of their homes."
Everyone involved in the project would like to see expanded services at the grocery.
"Hopefully, over time we can have nutritionists there, but not imposing it on people," Hill says. "The fruits and vegetables [at the store] are fresh. The residents can't find it anywhere else near where they live."
Hill spoke at the grand opening, telling residents "it's your grocery store. This is a good place and an important place for you to support and enjoy." Later, at Joe's Diner, he said that because of this new revitalization, a lot of people are coming back to the area, helping it become a melting pot of people from all socioeconomic backgrounds. "There's a nice spirit here."
One of the challenges that food deserts pose is that policymakers don't know where they are. Statistics on state and regional levels rarely scratch the surface.
"There isn't a one-stop data source or agreement in what we are trying to look at in our state," says Diane Beth, a nutrition manager at the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. "Are we determining lack of grocery stores, lack of corner stores, lack of high-quality produce? What kind of assessment should we be trying to do?"
Food insecurity, which the federal government defines as a lack of dependable access to adequate food, is more often sensed than defined. LaDonna Brown, a master's student at N.C. Central University, has set out to put a finer point on the problem. Earlier this month, she began working with Bountiful Backyards on a project to map local food deserts. The project, her thesis, kicked off with door-to-door surveys. Brown, along with professors from NCCU, SEEDS participants and workers from Public Allies, an Americorps program, polled residents who live in southeast Durham between Interstate 85 and N.C. 147.

The Princeton Review's Annual Law and Business School Rankings Based on 37,000 Student Surveys are Now Out
- Top 10 Schools in 11 Categories Reported in "The Best 172 Law Schools" and "The Best 300 Business Schools" 2011 Edition Guidebooks
Oct 12, 2010, 04:00 ET
NEW YORK, Oct. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The Princeton Review — known for its college rankings based on how students rate their schools — today released the 2011 editions of its annual law and business school guidebooks, which also feature rankings uniquely based on student surveys.
"The Best 172 Law Schools" and "The Best 300 Business Schools" (Random House / Princeton Review, $22.99 each, on sale October 12) each have 11 ranking lists of top 10 schools in various categories.
The Princeton Review compiled the lists based on its surveys of 18,000 students attending the 172 law schools and 19,000 students attending the 300 business schools in the books, as well as on school-reported data. The ranking lists posted today at www.PrincetonReview.com where users can also access information on how they were compiled and find detailed profiles on the schools.
Ranking list categories in each book and #1 schools on them include:
"Best Professors"
Law school: Boston University / Business school: University of Virginia
"Best Career Prospects"
Law school: University of Pennsylvania / Business school: Harvard University
"Best Classroom Experience"
Law school: Stanford University / Business school: Cornell University
"Most Competitive Students"
Law school: Baylor University / Business school: Vanderbilt University
"Toughest to Get Into" (the only ranking based solely on school-reported data)
Law school: Yale University / Business school: Stanford University
Other lists in "The Best 172 Law Schools" and #1 schools on them include:
"Most Conservative Students" – George Mason University
"Most Liberal Students" – American University
Other lists in "The Best 300 Business Schools" and #1 schools on them include:
"Best Campus Facilities" – Bentley University
"Greatest Opportunity for Women" – Simmons College
The books also have ranking lists reporting the top 10 schools in such categories as "Best Administered," "Most Family Friendly," and "Greatest Opportunity for Minority Students."
The Princeton Review does not rank the schools in these books academically or hierarchically (1 to 172, or 1 to 300). "All of the schools we chose for these books offer outstanding academic programs in their fields: there is no single law or b-school that is 'best' overall" said Robert Franek, Senior VP / Publishing, The Princeton Review. "We tally rankings in multiple categories and compile detailed profiles of the schools to give applicants a broader range of information to decide which of these outstanding schools will be uniquely best for them."
About the student surveys and books
The ranking lists are based on surveys of law and b-school students during the 2009-10, 2008-09, and 2007-08 academic years. On average, about 100 students at each law school and 65 students at each business school were surveyed for the lists in the 2011 editions of the books. The 80-question survey asked students about their school's academics, student body and campus life, themselves, and their career plans. Almost all of the surveys were completed online at The Princeton Review's student survey site: http://survey.review.com.
The books' school profiles have admission, academics, financial aid, campus life, and career information. Introductory chapters provide overviews on the degrees and advice on getting funding for them, taking the LSAT and GMAT, plus strategies for successful applications.

In September 2010, The Princeton Review with Entrepreneur magazine reported its lists of top 50 schools (25 undergrad, 25 graduate) for Entrepreneurship programs.

The Amazon rainforest is the biggest rainforest in world, with the biggest basin and the biggest river in world. But it's divided between nine countries — Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and the French oversea department of French Guyana —, so it's hard to preserve this precious treasure. So, today I'll show a flag prototype I made to pay tribute to Amazonia, one of more important human heritages. It's like this:
How I said above, it's just a prototype, and probably you'll see "Amazonia Region II" or "Amazonia Region III" someday. The green has an obvious meaning, hasn't it? It's the rainforest! There are nine slim stripes, symbolizing the nine aforementioned countries. One of those stripes (the central one) is thicker, because it symbolizes the Amazon River, that cross the South American continent in horizontal direction.
The blue is the water, and the white means Life, the lives of animals, plants, living beings, but mainly the noble peoples that inhabit this region. It's a flag to the people from Amazonia, not a political flag, or something like this — but, if someday all the "Amazonic" countries really unite to preserve this heritage, one of that would be needed.
It's a prototype, I'm going to work to improve it.
Please, comment and disclose the blog. Your contribution is very important to me!

To understand all the info above, check out our Site Facts Glossary.
Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Exploited Moms features videos of mature women getting down with mandingo meat. This is definitely more of a mature site than a milf site, with a 76 year old right on their tour! Perhaps Exploited Grandmas would have been the better title here. Check out these horny grannies fucking South Central gangbangers.
Exclusive interracial mature action.
These are all exclusive scenes featuring women in their 50s and 60s having sex with black men. It follows a familiar theme of interview with the couple with a blowjob, sex, and cumshot. The ladies are all mature and the men are all hung black men. It's a hot original collection you won't find anywhere else.
Other Good Stuff:
Very basic design and navigation.
The layout of the site is too simple. The colors and graphics give the site a dated feel. The actual content is listed in the order it was added with no additional sort, browse, or search options. A lot of the movies don't even offer preview thumbnails. The whole site needs a redesign and restructuring.
No update info.
None of the scenes are dated and there's no update log, so there's no way of knowing when or even if updates are coming to the site.
Poor quality content.
I was really disappointed with the quality of these scenes. At their largest, the scenes were only 640 x 480 and those were the Flash streams which were quite pixilated. The wmv and mpg downloads were worse, at 320 x 240. The content looks like it could be a few years old with these specs.
Inconsistent video viewing formats.
These formats are all over the place and unimpressive all around. The latest videos are only offered in Flash, so they're streaming only. Others are only available as mpegs or wmvs, and those are just clips, not even full-length downloads! They're very inconsistent and none of them are user-friendly.
Minor Negatives:
An entertaining hardcore collection held back by poor quality and lack of user-friendly features.
Exploited Moms left me unimpressed. Everything from the poor design to the lack of user features to the sub-par content quality had me disappointed. With no sign that updates are actually coming, it's hard to want to pay the $30 a month price. There is the bonus site access, but it's still a tough sell. Exploited Moms could be worth a look for fans of mature interracial hardcore, but it's not a site I'll be remembering in the morning.

That's kind of the problem with only having two Hulk-outs to go by. You just have to look at the circumstances of each situation to see the difference. If Banner transforms willingly then you get a Hulk who will even take orders. If he's forced and it's something he fights then Hulk is a wild dog.

Tiny cell phones are being smuggled and used inside the Serco-run prison in south Auckland, with images of inmates pulling gang signs posted online - and Labour's corrections spokesperson says prison guards are doing the smuggling.
Mobile phones are contraband in all New Zealand prisons, but photos of inmates posing and showing off their tattoos at Auckland South Corrections Facility (ASCF), as well as other New Zealand prisons, have appeared online within the past few months and led to "extensive searches", Corrections has confirmed to 1 NEWS.
Five cell phones have been found hidden at ASCF since January 2017, with each provided to police for forensic examination.
Chief Custodial Officer Neil Beales said Corrections became aware of the images in May this year.
"The phone used was not found, and intelligence information concluded that it had been disposed of," Mr Beales said.
The images remain online, with more images from inside prisons being posted to the group as recently as July 6.
"We can, and do, make requests to site administrators for content to be removed, however social media sites have very high thresholds that must be met for content to be removed," Mr Beales said.
"All prisons in New Zealand use an extensive range of methods to prevent contraband entry ... these include extensive perimeter security, camera surveillance, searches of staff, contractors and visitors, and their vehicles, scanners and x-technology; specialist detector dog teams (including dogs that can detect cellphones) and prisoner telephone monitoring.
"Technology is rapidly advancing and we are always working to stay ahead of offenders' attempts to manipulate our security processes."
Corrections Association President Alan Whitley says new, tiny cell phones the size of a finger known as "beat the boss" phones are increasingly being sought by prisoners, as their tiny size allows them to be more easily hidden internally.
Versions with cameras are available on international sites like Ebay for as little as NZ$50.
"I know Serco found one of these a little while ago," Mr Whitley said.
"Phones are an issue in all prisons ... we are forever trying to find ways to beat them."
Mr Beales said Corrections appreciates seeing images of prisoners online would be particularly harmful to the victims of offending, and also said those close to the prisoners seeking contraband can suffer.
"Some prisoners place a significant amount of pressure on their families, partners and associates to attempt to introduce contraband to them," he said.
"This can include the use of intimidation and threats of violence."
Some smuggling of contraband being done by prison guards, Kelvin Davis says
Labour Party corrections spokesperson Kelvin Davis said it is a concern that contraband is "still easily being smuggled in" and questioned "how actively they're looking at their own staff".
There is smuggling from some guards- Labour Party corrections spokesperson Kelvin Davis
"I raised concerns probably a year ago now about how contraband is being smuggled in - it's not all coming in through family members, in fact family members are searched pretty rigorously," Mr Davis said.
Mr Davis said he had been told several times by prisoners of smuggling taking place by Corrections Officers and had reported these to Corrections, but said "when you go through the proper channels you get fobbed off".
He said while the things said by prisoners should be taken cautiously, he believed at least some of the claims were genuine.
"They've given me first names of Corrections Officers ... they've given me descriptions of officers," Mr Davis said.
"They [Corrections] don't seem to be focusing on the issue of corrupt Corrections Officers, spoiling it for the good Corrections Officers, making his colleagues unsafe.
"It's almost like protecting the reputation of Corrections is more important than the safety and the transparency of the system."
In 2016, Mr Davis said a family member of a prisoner bribed Corrections Officers to smuggle tobacco in for a prisoner, leading to an investigation by Corrections.

Essays on trade integration and firm dynamics
Abstract (Summary)This thesis deals with the integration of firms into export markets when trade barriers decrease. It consists in three chapters. The first chapter focuses on how cross-industry differences in factor intensities and within-industry differences in firm productivity shape the response of the extensive (the decision to export) and the intensive (the exported volumes) margin of export. The context of the analysis is the entry of Turkey into the European Customs Union in 1996. Results suggest that the extensive margin reacted more in labor-intensive sectors. In the second chapter we use a gravity approach to analyze how the decrease in tariffs promoted during the 90s by the Uruguay Round multilateral agreement affected trade margins for French firms. We find that the tariffs significantly affect trade only through the extensive margin. The third chapter describes the dynamic of firms export to different countries and uncovers eleven new stylized facts on firm-level trade.

NBC And Time Inc. celebrated the 50th Anniversary of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue held at Dolby Theatre on Tuesday (January 14) in Hollywood, California.
Heidi Klum: The model, whose Golden Globe look you deemed as yet another red carpet disaster, wore a biker-chic red leather dress courtesy of Jitrois with matching leather pumps, with her favourite jeweller, Lorraine Schwartz, providing the bling.
Kate Upton: The model opted to go glam, wearing a black Antonio Berardi gown, which may have been a tad OTT for the event, styled with David Yurman rings and a selection of Dior Fine Jewelry.
Marisa Miller: There's something about Marisa that never appears to change, and that's her hair and makeup. The model wore an Amen long-sleeved gold sequined Fall 2013 dress with standard nude Louboutin pumps.

Division of Workers' Compensation posts proposed medical treatment utilization schedule regulations on DWC forum for pre-rulemaking public comment
The Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC) has posted an online forum for members of the public to review and comment on a draft of proposed regulations to update the medical treatment utilization schedule (MTUS). The proposed regulations would update the methods to review scientific evidence and apply this to new evidence accompanying requests for treatment and diagnostic services by treating physicians.
The MTUS's grading methodology, currently based on the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine's (ACOEM) strength of evidence rating methodology, is being replaced by DWC's updated methods to evaluate scientific evidence.
The proposed updated regulations include:
The forum can be found at: http://www.dir.ca.gov/dwc/DWCWCABForum/mtus.htm and members of the public may comment until Thursday, April 8, 2010.
The proposed regulations are authorized by Labor Code sections 5307.27 and 4604.5 which require the DWC administrative director (AD) adopt a medical treatment utilization schedule that provides an analytical framework for evaluation and treatment of injured workers consistent with scientific, nationally recognized, evidence-based guidelines.
