Last night, the Ducks landed a huge commitment from RB Dontre Wilson, out of DeSoto, TX. A unanimous four-star across all four major recruiting services, Wilson is one of the best backs in the country. He picked the Ducks over Ohio St. and Texas, but also held offers from the likes of Arkansas, Baylor, Clemson, LSU, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St., Texas A&M and West Virginia among others.
Wilson is dynamite, a threat to score with every touch of the ball. He's a playmaker with elite speed, vision and the elusiveness to be devastating in the open field. In other words, he is tailor-made to play in Oregon's offense. He has the speed to get around the corner on the outside zone read and the quickness to be dangerous on the IZR. Watch this video and tell me you don't see a guy who will flourish in Oregon's offense:
Some are already questioning the commitment, wondering whether he won't end up jumping ship before national signing day. Certainly Texas' Mack Brown and Ohio State's Urban Meyer will be in his ear until the ink dries next February. That said, I think it's over. Dontre's dad has made it clear that once he committed, that would be the end of it. He seems to be a "my word is my bond" type of kid. Much like the Amoako's last year, Dontre comes from a strong family that pride themselves on keeping their commitments, making a change of heart seems unlikely.
Wilson joins Thomas Tyner, another blue-chip running back commit for the 2013 recruiting class. Tyner's world-class speed and elite size have many anointing him the next great Oregon running back. While it wouldn't be wise to argue against that possibility, especially because of his underrated vision, Tyner has battled some injuries as of late. While there's no reason to believe these will persist into his college career, injuries seem to have a malicious preference when it comes to choosing victims. Some guys can never seem to avoid a string of random, seemingly unrelated injuries.
Worst-case scenario, Wilson acts as a really good insurance plan. Best-case scenario, Tyner and Wilson form the most deadly running back duo in college football. Either way, the addition of Dontre Wilson cannot be understated.
Some will point to Dontre's commitment as a sign that Oregon is beginning to pull elite players from around the nation. The truth is, though, the Ducks have already established a running back pipeline in Texas dating back to LaMichael James. That "success" is actually being used a negative recruiting tool, since the last three backs to commit out of the state, Lache Seastrunk, Dontae Williams and Tra Carson, have all transferred after just one year with the team for one reason or another. Opposing coaches are surely using this against Oregon. The Wilson commitment could turn out to be huge if he goes on to have success in Eugene, helping to keep the Texas running back pipeline open.
It's only May, but it's entirely possible that Dontre Wilson ends up as the most important commitment in the 2013 class. Oregon's offense is predicated on running the ball, and adding Wilson all but guarantees that the team will have elite talent at the RB position for the foreseeable future. What's more, it keeps the Texas pipeline alive and well. Wilson's talent and versatility adds to an already lethal collection of offensive skill position players in Eugene.
Take a look at the talent lined up for 2013, along with each player's Rivals ranking and projected class:
4* Brian Bennett (Jr.)
3* Marcus Mariota (So.)
4* Jake Rodrigues (Fr.)
Running Back:
5* DeAnthony Thomas (Jr.)
4* Byron Marshall (So.)
5* Thomas Tyner (Fr.)
4* Dontre Wilson (Fr.)
Wide Receiver:
4* Josh Huff (Sr.)
4* Devon Blackmon (So.)
3* BJ Kelley (So.)
4* Tacoi Sumler (So.)
4* Bralon Addison (So.)
4* Dwayne Stanford (Fr.)
3* Chance Allen (Fr.)
Tight End:
5* Colt Lyerla (Jr.)
4* Christian French (So.)
4* Evan Baylis (So.)
4* Pharaoh Brown (Fr.)
If you thought Chip Kelly had weapons before, just wait. Of course star ratings and high school stats don't apply to actual production at the collegiate rankings, but it's indicative of the kind of talent that Oregon is now luring to Eugene.
Check back Monday for part two, where I'll take a look how this collection of offensive talent measures up against the nation's elite.

Here is a Quick Take Video on the Ikan F3 Follow Focus. It is a friction based follow focus and does not require a lens gear. The rubber focus wheel goes directly onto the focus barrel of the lens. It is not the most traditional follow focus out there, but looks like it will help keep things in focus. The Ikan F3 is around $200 US. Click here to check it out.Read more

The starry-eyed fascination with South American shamanism in the spiritual counter-culture is beginning to shift towards a more grounded, realistic perspective. Aurelia Hunter tells a personal tale of Q'ero shaman mistreating her when she was seeking a mentor.
via Teaching and Broken Trust | Reality Sandwich
It's the beginner's mind full of childlike curiosity that keeps us humble and fuels our evolution. However, I have also discovered that seeking too far outside of our own inner wisdom can cause a willingness to give away one's own power. At the start, I could not comprehend that the true teacher would appear the moment I stopped seeking. So I am sharing a story of falling into the illusion that we have to be with certain teachers of particular backgrounds and in certain "power spots" to receive the appropriate energy transmissions to become shamans, medicine women, and other labels of the spiritual walk. I would like to acknowledge that this can be advantageous as well as dangerous. Shamanism and life seem like one large paradox.
Let me make clear, I completely respect the traditions and ceremonies of the indigenous cultures, and I think it is important to learn as much as we can from each other, because the importance of ancient wisdom is integral to our process as human beings. Their connection to the unseen realms is magnificent and their sacred rituals and ceremonies pay respect to those who came before and those who have yet to come. These critical elements, missing from our modern day world, are crucial to our awakening. And yet, I believe there is still a darkness that needs to be illuminated, a darkness that I experienced first hand, a power struggle that crossed boundaries forever breaking trust and changing my path.

Thomas Aquinas
Translated by John A. Oesterle
In his Treatise on the Virtues, Aquinas discusses the character and function of habit; the essence, subject, cause, and meaning of virtue; and the separate intellectual, moral, cardinal, and theological virtues. His work constitutes one of the most thorough and incisive accounts of virtue in the history of Christian philosophy. John Oesterle's accurate and elegant translation makes this enduring work readily accessible to the modern reader.
176 pages
"At the heart of this treatise are the subtle but crucial distinctions St. Thomas draws among the intellect and will, and the intellectual, moral, and theological virtues—establishing at the same time their interdependence. The discussion of prudence, as the bridge between the intellectual and moral virtues, is one of the classic accomplishments of Western thought." — Faith & Reason

Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Drizzle oil into a large pot of boiling salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to the directions on the package, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain well.
Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan, but don't boil it. In a large pot, melt 6 tablespoons of butter and add the flour. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring with a whisk. Still whisking, add the hot milk and cook for a minute or two more, until thickened and smooth. Off the heat, add the Gruyere, Cheddar, 1 tablespoon salt, the pepper, and nutmeg. Add the cooked macaroni and lobster and stir well. Place the mixture in 6 to 8 individual gratin dishes.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, combine them with the fresh bread crumbs, and sprinkle on the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the macaroni is browned on the top.

In his first state visit to the United States, South Korean President Kim Dae-Jung yesterday met with President Clinton. At the top of the agenda was South Korea's unprecedented call to ease sanctions against North Korea. In a press conference yesterday with Clinton, Kim said, "we have nothing to fear from North Korea." White House officials say no change in US support for the sanctions was imminent. Before becoming president, Kim had been South Korea's most well-known opponent of the country's series of military regimes since the beginning of the Korean War. He spent seven years in jail and survived several assassination attempts. Kim is the first civilian president of South Korea.

MEQUON, Wis.- Freshman Brittany Klumpp (Rubicon, Wis.) beat Dominican goalie Sara Stepanovich with less than two minutes remaining in regulation to give Concordia Wisconsin a 1-0 win in the quarterfinal round of the NAC women's soccer Championship. Senior Kelli Bolli (Eagle, Wis.) was credited with the golden assist.
CUW outshot the Stars 27-5 on the afternoon, but Stepanovich was incredible in goal for DomU, saving 11 shots including a first half penalty kick attempt.
"We expected a tight battle ... a win is a win and we have to keep advancing. I thought Dominican played very good soccer strategically and competitively so we will happily take this result," said Falcon mentor Ryan Middendorf.
Middendorf's team (15-4-0) will travel to Edgewood Tuesday for a NAC semi-final rematch with the Eagles, who defeated CUW 2-1 earlier this season.

11 of the most memorable 'brand' #hashtags of all time
Twitter celebrated its 10th birthday this week, and despite all its problems it has arguably become as important a technical feature of society as the TV or the telephone.
Not a single campaign or significant event goes by without having a hashtag attached, and Twitter quite often becomes the primary source of news for individuals and high-profile publications alike.
In light of all that, I thought I'd celebrate some of the very best uses of hashtags I've seen from brands over the years.
Cancer Research UK on how its social team reacted to #nomakeupselfie
The #nomakeupselfie campaign has helped to raise more than £8m for Cancer Research UK. This money will fund 10 clinical trials, an astonishing achievement.
Many articles have commented on just why the campaign was so successful, from its mobile nature to the emotional triggers pulled by shared photographs.
What hasn't been covered is just how Cancer Research UK dealt with such a large amount of social action. How does the team to react and capitalise on what some may think amounts to a black swan event?
I spoke to Aaron Eccles, senior social media manager at Cancer Research UK and asked him about the campaign. Here's what I learned.
Four reasons why Facebook hashtags are just plain awful
Hashtags are a key part of the Twitter experience as they allow users to link together otherwise disparate tweets, thereby creating conversations and streams of information around particular themes or events.
Unfortunately they have become an overused medium and are frequently used as ironic punch lines in dreadfully unfunny tweets.
In fact someone put it quite aptly when describing hashtags as the digital version of the 'not' joke.
And yet hashtags still have a practical use on Twitter and are an excellent marketing tool, so it came as little surprise when Facebook also enabled a similar feature a few months ago.
So considering the fact that hashtags have proven to be such an excellent tool for search and conversation on Twitter, it's a shame that they've proven to be so useless on Facebook.
Three reasons why Facebook can't beat Twitter for social TV
Facebook has had a very busy summer.
From preparing the groundwork for a video ad service, to pushing the Facebook hashtag, the social juggernaut has been trying to convince advertisers and investors that the platform is a hotbed of viral activity, not just the world's biggest directory of human beings.
To Facebook's credit, it seems to be winning the battle on Wall Street, with the stock trading over 30% above its flotation price after a disastrous IPO.
However, one battle it will not win is the social television battle against Twitter.
Instagram: nine different ways to market your brand
Photo-sharing app Instagram has long since left its hipster roots behind and is now a social network for the masses, which inevitably means that marketers are looking at ways to exploit its popularity.
According to the platform's own statistics, Instagram's 130 million active users share 45 million photos every day so there's plenty of opportunity to gain brand exposure.
We've previously looked at nine brands making good use of Instagram and four others rocking the app's new video feature.
And on that theme, here are nine ways in which brands can use Instagram for marketing...
The hashtag: understand customers and remain in control
Hashtags in social media marketing are overused and under-appreciated, but it also can be hard to measure the success of hashtag campaigns.
Marketers need to do more than count likes and followers. They need to truly understand sentiment, language, tone of voice, and the trends of how conversations unfold, and campaigns are re-appropriated, around their chosen hashtag.
20% of consumers think hashtags are mainly useful for researching products
One in five (20%) consumers believe that hashtags are primarily useful for finding information on brands and products, though the most common use is for identifying trends (30%).
The findings come from a RadiumOne survey into consumer attitudes towards hashtags, which also revealed that out of the 58% of respondents that said they use hashtags, more than two thirds (70%) said they use them on a mobile device.
Unfortunately this question is slightly flawed as it appears that respondents were forced to answer either desktop or mobile, as if it's impossible for a person to use hashtags on both devices, but it does at least indicate that people use them more frequently on their mobile.
Unsurprisingly, the report found that consumers would be more willing to use product-related hashtags if they were rewarded with discounts.
Nine simple tips for creating Twitter hashtags
The overenthusiastic use of hashtags is one of the most annoying aspects of Twitter, particularly when the hashtag in question is overused or just doesn't make any sense (e.g. #justsayin).
But they are also a vital part of the mechanics of Twitter, so marketers need to be able to come up with a good hashtag if they want their social campaigns to have any impact.
The use of hashtags is something we've previously looked at in posts rounding up 2012's biggest social media fails and looking at Twitter's relationship with TV. You can also find out more in our Twitter for Business Best Practice Guide.
And to help marketers avoid breaking some of the cardinal sins of hashtagging etiquette, RadiumOne's European MD Rupert Staines has put together a handy list of dos and don'ts.
So here's what you need to know...
Twitter airs its first television commercial
Didn't think Twitter was mainstream?
All doubt about Twitter's position in the media world was laid to rest this weekend as the company aired its first ever television commercial during the Pocono 400 NASCAR race.
Unscrupulous marketers target Haiti on Twitter
The devastation in Haiti has brought people from all over the world together online in what can only be described as an impressive display of generosity.
Not surprisingly, Twitter is playing a big role in disseminating information about the crisis. And it's playing a big role in fundraising for organizations providing relief to Haiti. Unfortunately, unscrupulous marketers are taking advantage of the situation to further their business interests.
The Seven Twitter Sins: Twitter spam techniques
Twitter is a wonderful service. But it isn't perfect. The popular microblogging service is increasingly the target of spam techniques that threaten the service's utility and value.
Here the the seven techniques that spammers are employing on Twitter...
The 10 Twitter Commandments
Twitter can be used for many things. From communicating with friends, family and associates to building an online profile to promoting products and services, many individuals employ Twitter for important functions.
But some of them shoot themselves in the foot by engaging in Twitter sin.

A Female Genius: How Ada Lovelace, Lord Byron's Daughter, Started the Computer Age
By James Essinger, £14.99, ISBN 978-1-90809-666-1
Until relatively recently, social convention barred even the most able women from mathematic or scientific research unless in the role of 'handmaiden'. Ada Lovelace, born in the early 19th century, was no exception. Anyone who thinks her famous contribution to computer science is overrated, should read James Essinger's new biography.
As daughter of the celebrity poet Byron, Lovelace's short life (she died at 36) was bound to be interesting. Lady Byron wanted her daughter to be well educated while suppressing what she deemed a potentially destructive imagination. Studying mathematics, she thought, would make Ada's creative intellect rational and ordered.
Asking questions about the deeper foundations of science and maths was inappropriate for women. Lovelace's tutor Augustus De Morgan wrote that the 'great tension of mind' which tricky mathematical questions require 'is beyond the strength of a woman's physical power of application.'
But Lovelace ignored these conventions, helped by a privileged background that as a teenager brought into the orbit of famous thinkers and scientists. One was Charles Babbage, a wealthy dilettante, who wanted to create a calculator out of cogs and wheels. His inspiration was the French scheme, managed by Baron Gaspard de Prony, to make a set of mathematical log tables. De Prony had applied the principle of Adam Smith's systematic division of labour, splitting the task among three teams of human calculators. Babbage thought the same idea could be applied to a calculating machine, controlled by punched cards as in the Jacquard weaving-loom.
Lovelace was fascinated with Babbage's scheme and not only helped him develop the concept but went on to write the first program for such a machine. Unlike Babbage, she had the insight to see the future scope of his invention. We know this from her correspondence and extensive series of notes.
This concise and readable account gives Lovelace's work the respect it deserves.

Forbidden Places Vol 2/Unusual Hotels of the World
By Sylvaine and David Margaine/Steve Dobson £29.99/£29.99, ISBN 978-2361950590/978-2361950675
It has become a tradition for this reviewer to introduce latest offerings from Jonglez to E&T readers on the eve of Christmas. The award-winning international publisher has released two superbly illustrated albums - and each would constitute an excellent gift for an inquisitive engineer:
The second volume of 'Forbidden Places: Exploring Our Abandoned Heritage', with pictures by Sylvaine Margaine and text by David Margaine, is a worthy successor to the first volume, which received numerous accolades for its masterful photos and poetic captions. This time, alongside black and white images of abandoned stadiums, offices, factories, machines and power stations, the album carries a number of full-colour images of locations such as Can Jaumar Castle in Cabrils, Spain.
My preferences are still for the black and white illustrations, which to me carry a deeper meaning and more emotion. E&T readers are bound to be taken by the painfully revealing and nostalgic photo reportage from the now defunct Battersea Power Station in London. An ideal coffee-table book.
'Unusual Hotels of the World' continues a Jonglez series that up to now covered the UK, Ireland and Europe. This volume expands the search for quirky accommodation to Canada (Quebec's Ice Hotel), Senegal (Niassam Hills Lodge), New Zealand (Woodlyn Park, where you sleep inside a plane from the Vietnam War) and many other exotic locations. Out of the ordinary properties in Europe also feature, of which many have a technology angle - V8 in Germany, for instance, is a cluster of Zeppelin airfield buildings converted to a hotel.
In case you're tempted to stay, their addresses, phone numbers and prices are listed at the back of the book - highly unusual in itself!
This festive season, Jonglez also offers readers stocking fillers in the shape of two new Secret Guides: 'Secret Prague' by Martin Stejskal and 'Secret Dublin' by Pol O Conghaile. Both of these ancient European cities are resplendent with 'secrets', including little-known science and technology sights such as the magnificent planet-and-zodiac-sign-painted Astronomical Corridor inside Wallenstein Palace in Prague; and the Metals and Dalkey Quarry along the route of an old funicular railway to the south of the city.
Like all other volumes in the series, these two are small, compact and easy to handle (as every guide-book should be). As such, they would fit nicely in a Christmas stocking.

The Last Alchemist in Paris & Other Curious Tales from Chemistry
By Lars Öhrström, £16.99, ISBN 978 0 19 966109 1
Lars Öhrström is a chemist and chemical engineer who is a professor of inorganic chemistry at a Swedish university. His sympathies are divided between chemical principles and creating technologies that can test principles, such as the NMR spectrometer that occupied his PhD student years. Perhaps this is why his collection of tales about inorganic and organic chemistry, 'The Last Alchemist in Paris', aims to synthesise theory, experiment, applications and history.
The 22 brief chapters, each revolving around one chemical, cover a huge range of period and place. We learn about the royal production in 18th-century Sweden of saltpetre from the manure and urine beneath farmers' barns. We investigate the claim that the tin buttons of Napoleon Bonaparte's soldiers disintegrated in the severe cold on the retreat from Moscow in 1812, with disastrous results. We track the US-Nazi political battle over hydrogen versus helium in airships that led to the explosion of German airship Hindenburg in 1937. And we follow the debate over lead in petrol, which was foreshadowed by the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius's distrust of lead water pipes.
The title chapter focuses on failed chemistry student but celebrated playwright August Strindberg, who settled in a Paris hotel in 1896 and claimed to have made gold - without success but with remarkable technical dexterity. Strindberg, it appears, was suffering from psychosis, an idea that launches Öhrström into a digression on lithium and its therapeutic effects on mania, even though these were discovered only in 1949.
In many places, this beguiling book would have benefited from an editor. Mostly, its quirky structure hangs together and generally holds attention, though not at the level of chemist Primo Levi's classic, 'The Periodic Table'.

It would seem ironic that Chinese automakers are enjoying a warmer welcome in emerging markets such as Brazil and Russia than in China. Even as they struggle to defend their market share against global rivals in China, domestic companies like Geely and Chery are racing to build new plants overseas.
Perhaps the cheekiest of them all is Lifan Industry Group Co., a Chinese motorcycle manufacturer based in Chongqing. Lifan didn't even build automobiles until 2004, and it is still a tiny player. Last year, the company sold less than 84,000 cars, microvans and light trucks -- about one-fifth as many as rival BYD Co.
Yet, Lifan has built assembly plants in Iran, Russia and Uruguay.
This year, exports will account for as much as 55% of Lifan's total sales. Lifan also has gained a foothold in China's light commercial vehicle market, selling more than 40,000 microvans and light trucks in the first eight months of this year.
The dynamo behind Lifan is its founder, company President Yin Mingshan. In contrast to some of his automotive peers, Yin is low key and approachable. He smiles when he speaks, and he candidly acknowledges the challenges that his small company faces.
But what is most striking about him is his unswerving belief that Lifan will survive and grow. This belief stems from his wisdom as an older man, his realism and his personality as a tenacious fighter.
Mr. Yin knows that Lifan's small size is a serious impediment. And he knows that his own age has become an issue. Healthy and energetic as he is , Mr. Yin turns 74 this year, and he must work out a succession plan.
Mr. Yin has a son and a daughter, but the son appears to be more interested in hot cars than in running a car company. Last year, he was fined by police in Lifan's home city of Chongqing for exceeding speed limits in his Lamborghini.
This week, Mr. Yin's 24-year-old daughter accompanied him when Lifan broke ground for its new auto plant in Chongqing. The appearance triggered speculation that Mr. Yin's daughter will become Lifan's new leader.
But the biggest challenge for Lifan, as with all other Chinese automakers, is its poor brand image and weak technology. Because of this, Lifan's vehicles sell for only $5,500 to $13,300.
To make things worse, global automakers are introducing low-priced models to gain market share in inland China. For example, General Motors has launched the Chevrolet New Sail compact car, which has a starting price under $9,400.
Mr. Yin acknowledged all of these challenges to me during an interview at a recent industry forum in the southwest China city of Chengdu. But he also noted that Lifan has a survival strategy -- a plan that he is carrying out.
Aside from its expansion into overseas markets, Lifan will move upscale in China with better equipment, quality and technology. "That's the only right strategy we should take," Mr. Yin stressed.
Can Mr. Yin succeed? Given his experience and survival instincts, I would be happy to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Born into a family that owned some property, Mr. Yin was proclaimed a counter-revolutionary by the Chongqing government in the early 1960s and subjected to hard labor in a local plastics plant. For a long time, his chief goal was simply to stay alive.
Shortly after the Cultural Revolution ended in the 1970s, he started a small publishing house and in 1992 established Lifan to make motorcycles. Within a decade, Lifan became one of China's largest motorcycle manufacturers.
Mr. Yin was inspired by Honda and Suzuki, which had expanded from motorcycle manufacturing into automaking. At the age of 67, he decided to make cars, too.
What lessons has he learned?
"One has to be patient," he said. "We should persist under harsh circumstances. It is like running a marathon. As long as you keep running and do not stop or fall down, you still have a chance to get ahead of the others."

advice please ..c-peptide test
A: I almost hate to say this but your c-peptide test was lower than mine when I was actually diagnosed with diabetes (yay honeymoon stage!). That being said, your a1c and blood sugar are both good, as you know. The c-peptide doesn''t say much with normal blood sugars in this situation. Your body could just be really, really efficient at using the insulin it makes. And that''s a good thing. It had been awhile since you ate, maybe your blood sugar started to drop so the pancreas ba
Are type 1''s still producing insulin? c-peptide test
A: Thanks cristina, your information is helpful. You cleared up a question I had about type 1''s....
I am 42 yo recently diagnosed diabetic, dr has ordered c-peptide level to see if it is type 1 or 2.?
A: The majority of the time Type 1 is children, the c-peptide test will tell how much natural insulin your pancreas is making It isn''t common but on the other hand it is not unheard of. If I were forced to GUESS and that is all it would be, I would say 1 in 200 people would be diagnosed type 1 at your age. Type 1 is sometimes referred to as Juvenile Diabetes. A child is born with it of their pancreas shuts down in the first couple of years. Type 2 is sometimes referred to as Adult Onset Diabetes. Typi
c-peptide low normal?
A: The low-normal c-peptide means that, whatever it is that is messing with your blood glucose, it is unlikely to be T2 diabetes. In the early stages of T2, insulin resistance and the consequent high insulin levels causes c-peptide to be very high. You are more likely to have T1, especially in view of the ketones. Have you been tested for the antibodies? No - not tested for antibodies. What is this? Is there anything else that can cause lower
I was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic in 1996. A recent test shows my c-peptide as <0.1 and (GAD) as 0.00. Does this mean I am really a type 2?
A: Hello,Thanks for asking dLife.The c-peptide test measures levels of a certain protein that is associated with insulin production. The glutamic acid decarboxylase (a beta cell protein known as GAD) test measures the amount of a pancreatic islet cell antibody.The readings you presented indicate that your pancreas is making very very little insulin and that you do not have the GAD antibody in
What does my c-peptide of 0.71 L NG/NL {0.9-4.00} really say?
A: Hello, Thanks for asking dLife. c-peptide is a marker of insulin production by the body. Normal values vary from laboratory to laboratory. Its level is read along with blood sugar levels. Fasting levels may range between 0.5 to 2.0 ng/mL (nanograms per milliliter). A low c-peptide level indicates low level of insulin production. Health insurance companies often require a certain c-peptide level to provide coverage for the insulin pump. Your do
What does a c-peptide number of 1.0 mean exactly?
A: Dear rigiles, Let me explain what a c-peptide is and how it is used to diagnose type 1 or 2 diabetes. Pancreatic beta cells produce proinsulin. Proinsulin splits into c-peptide and insulin. The c-peptide is easier to measure than insulin because it hangs around longer. In a Type 1 person, Pancreatic beta cells cease to function and no proinsulin is producted. Neither...
Question on insulin & c-peptide levels
A: Would love to hear some response on your question. I am keeping my fasting in the 80s now with exercise and strict diet. I too am 49 and at 5''3" only weigh about 94 (gained 2 pounds recently where I''d lost 12 in a 3 month period not on purpose!!!!!) I was initially dx''d "pre" on a fasting of 101 but had been feeling pretty yuck and dizzy prior and always have eaten high carb diet before this. My fasting insulin was also recently 2.0 and my c-peptide is barely in the normal range (.96 I think). My 2 hr. post when eating around 30-40 carbs is over 150. ...
Insulin and c-peptide levels
A: Just as an update: Not too concerned about the celiac/Diabetic relationship, but any celiac''s are welcome to post their stories! More concerned with anybody who knows why c-peptide and Insulin and lower than reference range yet, glucose is not outside of range. tests coming up were for an insulinoma tumor, which thank god is not the case...
c peptide levels confirm diabetes?
A: c-peptide just shows how much insulin your body makes It may have been high, suggesting insulin resistance, thus the Metformin script. Or, he may just have though Metformin would help given your meter readings he showed you, Many doctors seem to consider Metformin a pretty "mild" script and use it fairly generously for pre-diabetes situations....

1. Jimmy Greaves
Ol' Greavsie loved making his debut and had an uncanny knack of scoring whenever he first pulled on the shirt of a new club. It started at 17 when he scored for Chelsea in 1957, two years later he repeated the feat on his England debut against Peru in Lima. When he joined Spurs in 1961 he made his debut at Blackpool and marked the occasion with a hat-trick. An unhappy spell at AC Milan was brief but fruitful. Nine goals in 12 games including one on his debut. In 1970 he moved to West Ham, and yes you've guessed it, he scored twice against Manchester City.
2. Paula Radcliffe
Paula's first race marathon distance saw her win in London with an incredible time of 2 hours 18 mins 55 secs. It was the fastest ever London marathon time. However, Paula was not happy. "I wanted to set the world record, but I'd given everything and couldn't have gone any faster."
3. Andrew Strauss
When Michael Vaughan ricked his knee batting in the nets at Lord's it opened the door for Strauss to make his England debut against New Zealand in 2004. It was a match that would reshape a previously set-in-stone England middle order. Strauss scored a hundred in the first innings and was set to become only the third batsman ever to score debut twin hundreds when he was run out for 83. Former captain Nasser Hussain took the blame but in typical dogged fashion went on to score a match winning hundred. But Strauss had done enough to persuade the grizzled old dog his time was up. Hussain promptly retired.
4. Fabrizio Ravanelli
The silver-haired sulky one joined Middlesbrough in 1996 – an innocent time when Italians in English football were treated with reverence and awe. Especially on Teesside. Ravanelli got off to a flyer. A hat-trick on his debut against Liverpool had Boro dreaming of Premier League domination. By the end of May they were relegated and Ravanelli had slagged off the town, the club's training regime and facilities.
5. Lewis Hamilton
The almost-very-nearly-despairingly-close debut. Hamilton finished third in his first Grand Prix at Melbourne in 2007. Having forgotten that it was his role to deign to world champion team-mate Fernando Alonso at every opportunity, Hamilton almost created Formula One history. He went into the final race of the season in Brazil seven points ahead and seemingly set to become the first driver to be world champion on his debut season. But Kimi Raikkonen nipped in and Hamilton finished seventh, losing the title by one point.
6. Ben Curtis
Ranked 396th in the world, Curtis qualified for the 2003 Open by finishing 13th at the Western Open two weeks previously. Curtis had never visited the UK before and spent the days leading up to the tournament buying souvenirs in the club shop. By the end of the week though Curtis had conquered a brutal Sandwich course to win by one shot. In doing so he became the first golfer to win a major on debut since Francis Ouimet in 1913. We should not have been surprised. Curtis was born in Columbus, Ohio, the hometown of a certain Jack Nicklaus.
7. Jeremy Guscott
It may have been against Romania but Guscott announced the arrival of his dancing feet with a hat-trick of tries in England's 58-19 win in Bucharest in May 1989. Guscott also scored a try on his British Lions debut.
8. Wayne Rooney
Rooney had to wait for his Manchester United debut after joining Old Trafford from Everton due to the injury he picked up taking the world by storm for England at Euro 2004. But once let off his leash, mad dog Rooney tore into Fenerbahce, scoring a brilliant hat-trick at Old Trafford. United won 6-2 and even Sir Alex managed a smile.
9. Eddy Merckx
'The Cannibal' had an extraordinary Tour de France debut in 1969. He won the yellow jersey (overall leader), the polka dot jersey (King of the Mountains) and the green jersey (points leader). His overall winning margin was a massive 18 minutes and cycling had found its greatest ever rider.
10. Terry Griffiths
The former Llanelli postman was not exactly a whirlwind around the green baize. Renowned for his slow play, Griffiths's victory over Eddie Charlton in the semi-final of the 1979 World Championship ended at 1.40am with the final session having taken more than five gruelling hours. With his strong Welsh accent, Griffiths summed up everyone's shock when he said: "I'm in the final now, you know." He went on to beat Dennis Taylor 24-16. That's 40 frames of snooker. Or, put another way, 40 degrees of death by boredom.

|Portland DSA Collecting Signatures For Bernie
By Dustin Guastella
Scene I: You've set up your table. The Socialists for Sanders sign can be seen from ten feet away. You're wearing a DSA T-shirt. The table is stocked with flyers on Bernie's positions. The sign-up sheet is in front of you. You're building DSA and Sanders's campaign. Someone walks up to the table.
Scene II: You're at a party and somebody notices your Sanders button or T-shirt. "He seems like a nice guy, but what does he stand for?" "I like his ideas, but I really want a woman president." "He doesn't have a chance."
Linking Bernie's campaign and our vision of democratic socialism requires real conversations with thousands of workers, students, and voters, many of whom have not heard of Bernie, his platform, or his call for political revolution.
So, what do you say after you say hello? First, listen to the person's comments and questions, then put the message and the man together.
Link Bernie's platform to a socialist analysis and a long-term vision of a radically democratic and egalitarian society. For instance, when we talk about Bernie's commitment to tuition-free public higher education, we should explain why education is a fundamental social right, not a commodity sold to the highest bidder in order to get an edge in the global capitalist marketplace. Just as our country decided to make elementary and secondary education available to everyone, not just the wealthy, we can do the same for higher education, paid for by a financial transaction tax.
When we mention Bernie's position on wealth redistribution, we make it clear that wealth itself is created by society as a whole and not by a class of capitalists.
You bring up easily relatable and popular key positions: "Bernie is the only candidate pushing for a $15 minimum wage," "Bernie is the only candidate fighting for free healthcare for all," and "Bernie is the only candidate pledging to expand the labor movement." And then you explain why that matters. Bernie's platform has many strong policy positions. We socialists need to bring the analysis that informs those policies to the foreground.
What if the person is already a "Sanderista" but didn't even know that DSA existed? Schedule a time to sit down one-on-one and talk about how to make this political revolution a reality. First, find out where the person is coming from. Then, explain how Bernie's goals and ours fit with their desire for a more equal and democratic future. Explain that we need a parallel social movement to complement Sanders's electoral movement. If he's elected, he's going to need a strong movement behind him. And if he's not elected the need for such a movement is even greater. Bernie himself has repeatedly stressed the need for increased social movement activity. His supporters need to know that it is not enough to vote for him and go home.
Without a strong socialist organization there can be no strong leftist movement. When you table and leaflet or wear a button or T-shirt, always introduce yourself as a member of DSA and invite enthusiastic Sanders supporters to talk with you at greater length or come to your next local meeting. DSA has been fighting for many of Bernie's positions for nearly 40 years (way before it was cool!). DSA is training and developing the next generation of socialist leaders, activists, and organizers. If Sanders supporters want to continue this work after the campaign is over, they should see our organization as their political home. Democratic socialists should be front and center of the Sanderista political revolution, but we can only make that happen if we organize and speak up about socialism.
Dustin Guastella is a member of Philadelphia DSA and co-chair of the DSA We Need Bernie campaign. You can find DSA resources at www.dsausa.org/weneedbernie_organizing_materials.

Rays Use Shootout To Win Sixth StraightJan 7, 2017
The South Carolina Stingrays (19-11-1-1) never trailed but had to use a shootout to knock off the Greenville Swamp Rabbits (17-13-2-1) 3-2 on Saturday at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena.
Forwards Derek DeBlois and Tim McGauley each scored for the Stingrays in the victory, while goaltender Parker Milner made 24 saves to earn his sixth straight win. The win was also the sixth consecutive for South Carolina, the longest active streak in the ECHL and their fifth straight victory over Greenville.
DeBlois made it 1-0 after the Stingrays stole the puck away from Greenville goaltender Jeff Malcolm in the corner of the zone. Joe Devin centered the puck to DeBlois, who was open in the slot and didn't miss the open net. Forward Kelly Zajac was credited with the second assist on the goal.
It was the 10th goal of the season for DeBlois, who hit double-digits in his 12th game of the season. Zajac now has points in five straight games and is up to 39 on the season in the team's first 32 games.
The Swamp Rabbits tied the game at 1-1 just 2:17 into the third period on a goal by Paul Zanette off a rebound in front of the net. The goal was the first tally allowed by Milner since the first period of Tuesday night's game against Tulsa, a span of 151:44 without giving up a goal.
At 10:57 of the third McGauley helped the Rays re-take the lead with his first professional goal, deflecting a shot by defenseman Alex Brooks past Malcolm to make it 2-1. Forward Domenic Monardo also assisted on the goal, recording his fifth helper of the season.
But Greenville got even once more on a goal by Trevor Gerling at 12:50 of the third. The late tally forced overtime, and eventually a shootout.
South Carolina's Olivier Archambault was the only shooter able to convert in the shootout, giving the Stingrays the victory as Miner made saves on all three chances for the Swamp Rabbits.
The Stingrays continue on to Atlanta and will face-off with the Gladiators at 2 p.m. Sunday afternoon. South Carolina returns home to take on Greenville Sunday, Jan. 22 at 3:05 p.m.
Single-game tickets for the 2016-17 season are on sale now at the North Charleston Coliseum Box Office and ticketmaster.com.
Ticket packages and Groups of 10 or more are on sale now featuring discounted pricing and great benefits. The Jan. 22 game will feature an appearance from your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man from the popular comic books and movies! For more information or to place an order call the Stingrays front office at 843-744-2248 or stop by 3300 W. Montague Ave. Suite A-200 during business hours.

Arizona Telemedicine Program's T-Health Institute opened in 2003 on the University of Arizona's Biomedical Campus in downtown Phoenix. Its mission: to offer telemedicine and telehealth training, and to serve as a prototype e-classroom of the future.
The Institute is fulfilling its mission. More than 20 different organizations have used the amphitheater over the past 12 months, and not all are about medicine and health care.
The T-Health Institute is attracting a wider audience.
"T-Health has opened our eyes to just how high-quality distance education in general, and synchronous education between Tucson and Phoenix in particular, can be," said Marc Miller, professor and dean of the UA James E. Rogers College of Law.
Contrary to any misgivings about a classroom not suitable for Socratic dialogue and discussion, the T-Health Institute's capacity for a high-quality, two-way communication is "immense," Miller said.
College of Law students come from around the country and the world, so the college puts a priority on making educational and employment resources available beyond Tucson, particularly in Phoenix where a large number of students work in between semesters.
"For us to offer classes only in Tucson really doesn't meet the needs of our students," Miller said.
Associate Professor Jason Kreag teaches summer courses in Evidence from his Tucson classroom. Evidence is a required class, so the more opportunities the students have to enroll in it, the better.
"We were a little uncertain of how this would work, but it's worked really well," Kreag said. "We meet three times a week and it just so happens that part of our class is a couple of hours away. They can engage with the students who are here and we can engage with the students who are there."
The e-classroom technology also means other people in the legal community can have access to classes.
"There are many lawyers, judges, agency officials and others in Phoenix who would like to participate in our class discussions," Miller said. "It feels shockingly natural for those in the audience. The comments are 'Wow, I could hear everything they said,' and 'Gee, they could see me when I asked a question.'
Miller and his colleagues see the success of the Phoenix-Tucson classes as a springboard for other multi-site classes that address the needs of a multinational student body. They would like to "significantly" increase the College of Law's use of distance learning, Miller said.
"What Jason's summer classes have done is point us in a direction that we will follow much further in the future."
The T-Health Institute also is living up to its promise to be a resource for far-flung health-care professionals that need a convenient way to connect.
"I think it's invaluable, especially for rural education," said Kevin Driesen, director of the consulting firm Rural Health Improvement Services. In his role as program chair for the Arizona Rural Health Association, he recently organized a two-hour forum on the transition of the state's behavioral health system from the Arizona Department of Health Services to the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, Arizona's Medicaid program. It's a major change in the way health care will be delivered to people living with serious mental illness, and others requiring behavioral health services.
The T-Health Institute connected Driesen to participants in Nogales, Somerton, Bisbee, Payson, Page and Verde Valley.
"The drive time to Phoenix from all those places is not feasible," Driesen said. "The Institute makes it possible to transfer information at extremely high cost efficiency. And the Telemedicine people in Tucson and the Telehealth people in Phoenix were just incredible. They had to set up in advance, test all the sites to make sure they had the video and audio connections, and that's not easy.
"I could not have asked for better partners on the technical side."
Fredda Kermes, director of telemedicine with Summit Healthcare Regional Medical Center, an 89-bed hospital in Show Low, Ariz., moderated a two-day conference at the T-Health Institute in February, to identify gaps in behavioral health services in northern Arizona. People in Tucson attended the conference virtually, while people with Phoenix-based Banner Health, and others from north of Phoenix, were in attendance at the Institute.
"It was great to have everyone together, from different parts of the state," said Kermes, who is responsible for three of Summit Healthcare's programs. In addition to being director of telemedicine at Summit Healthcare, she also is director of clinical projects and professional development.
"When you work in a small hospital, you wear a lot of hats," she said. "For me, telemedicine is the one that's getting bigger. It's very exciting, and I don't think we've tapped into telemedicine as much as we could. But we have some programs going, and I really do think it can transform health care in a rural area."
This article was co-authored by Chris Martin and Jane Erikson. Jane joined the staff of the Arizona Telemedicine Program in April 2013. She was already familiar with the program, as she previously wrote about the program during her nearly 20 years of covering health care for the Arizona Daily Star in Tucson. Jane has lived in Arizona most of her life and is a graduate of the University of Arizona.

Infant mortality is one of the most critical indicators of the overall health of a population. An infant death or pregnancy loss is a signal that there may be problems within a community. Many factors such as family history, personal health history, diet, environment, lifestyle, and poor access to quality health and social services are known to contribute to infant mortality. While infant mortality rates in Maryland have declined (Infant Mortality in Maryland 2011), disparities persist and work remains to be done.
As the lead State agency charged with reducing infant mortality, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) has continued efforts to help Maryland turn the curve and move forward on this important public health problem. DHMH staff met with Community Pediatricians, sought public input through a web-based survey, and convened an Infant Mortality Epidemiology Work Group, comprised of experts in the field of infant mortality, to provide state-specific recommendations for reducing infant mortality (see Infant Mortality Epidemiology Work Group Report for more information). Ideas obtained through this public input process were used to inform the development of a new, Updated Plan for Reducing Infant Mortality in Maryland, which will continue to guide Maryland's efforts and can be accessed at the link above.

Retail stocks fell almost 4 percent on Tuesday as Wall Street indicated concerns about a long global recession and the impact of the $787 billion economic stimulus package signed by President Obama.
The S&P Retail Index declined 3.8 percent to 251.54 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped at an identical percentage to 7,552.60. The S&P 500 slipped below 800 for the first time this year, to 789.17, on its 4.6 percent drop.
This story first appeared in the February 18, 2009 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Obama said the recovery bill that he signed in Denver Tuesday marked "the beginning of the end," but he has stressed that it was just a start. As if to emphasize that point, General Motors and Chrysler said they needed billions of dollars more in government loans. GM said it will cut 47,000 jobs worldwide and Chrysler announced 3,000 layoffs.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s shares managed a 3.7 percent increase, to $48.24, following the release of its better-than-expected fourth-quarter results. But the report that the world's largest retailer performed better than its rivals and still sustained a decline in profitability appeared to only reinforce fears about the fourth-quarter earnings season that has just begun.
Shares of Coldwater Creek Inc. lost more than a quarter of their value — falling 82 cents, or 27.8 percent, to $2.13 — after the disclosure late Monday of a 22 percent decline in its same-store sales for the fourth quarter and forecast of a loss for the period of at least 10 cents more than expected by Wall Street analysts.
The multichannel retailer now anticipates a fourth-quarter loss of between 23 and 25 cents a share, 10 to 12 cents greater than the 13 cent loss projected by analysts polled by Yahoo Finance. A more than $20 million decline in selling, general and administrative expenses, coupled with reductions in inventory per square foot and the completion of a new $70 million revolving credit arrangement with Wells Fargo, wasn't sufficient to mollify investors.
Other specialty stores bearing the brunt of Wall Street's sour post-Presidents' Day mood with double-digit declines were: The Talbots Inc., 22.9 percent to $2.15; Casual Male Retail Group Inc., 17.5 percent to 33 cents; American Apparel Inc., 17 percent to $1.91, and New York & Co. Inc., 11.7 percent to $2.11. Frederick's of Hollywood Group Inc. was up 14.3 percent to 32 cents following an executive restructuring (see story below).
Although clearly in the minority, gainers included a number of vendors, such as Tandy Brands Accessories Inc., up 36.6 percent to $1.98; Perry Ellis International Inc., up 9.3 percent to $4.80; Liz Claiborne Inc., up 4.4 percent to $2.63, and, after matching fourth-quarter estimates and reporting cost-cutting initiatives, Fossil Inc., up 3.8 percent to 46 cents.
International markets stumbled on Tuesday, although with generally smaller declines than U.S. stocks. London's FTSE 100 was off 2.4 percent and Paris' CAC 40 was down 2.9 percent. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 gave up 1.4 percent, landing at 7,645.51, but Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index lost 3.8 percent, closing at 12,945.40.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) July 31, 2014
Ticket Down is a reliable source for authentic Mexico vs. Bolivia tickets at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in suburban Denver on Tuesday, September 9th. Over the past several years, the Mexican national soccer team has found a second home competing on American soil. They have had many successes and failures during their time playing international friendly games and will look to have another successful experience when they play Bolivia at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado. The match will be Mexico's second of the week after previously playing Chile on September 6th in California.
Before the tournament the World Cup this year, Mexico hired a new manager, Miguel Herrera, who has had positive results with the Mexican team. In the build-up to the World Cup, the team played well and continued their solid play in the tournament, finishing second in their group behind Brazil. Following the completion of the World Cup, the Mexican national soccer team gained two spots in the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, or FIFA, rankings to 18th place.
Bolivia is not considered to be a world power when it comes to their ability on the pitch, but they are a team that has some talent. They are ranked 71st in the world by FIFA and didn't qualify for the 2014 World Cup, but will look to improve on their all-around play as a team. They will look to a mix of youth and veterans in this match against Mexico, including captain defender Ronald Raldes, midfielder Rudy Cardoza, and forward Marcelo Martins Moreno.
On the opposite side of the field, the Mexican team will turn to players that many fans are more familiar with. Starting in goal for the Mexican team is 29-year-old Guillermo Ochoa, who became a star at the World Cup because of his ability on the pitch. They will also rely on defenders Rafa Marquez, Carlos Salcido, Francisco Javier Rodriguez, and forwards Giovani dos Santos and Javier Hernandez to lead them to victory in this match.
Dick's Sporting Good Park is a soccer-only venue located in Commerce City, Colorado. It originally opened in 2007 and has been home to the Colorado Rapids from Major League Soccer. The venue is equipped to seat more than 18,000 fans each night and on this night, there will be happy football fans packing the stadium to cheer on their nation.

CDC finds patients using more potent opioids
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's latest prescription opioid check-in indicates that the number of adults using prescription opiates has more than doubled since the 1988 – 1994 survey in which 3.4% of adults said they were using these drugs.
The new percentage of prescription opiate users is 6.9% of adults, according to the 2011 – 2012 assessment.
The survey also showed that US adults are seeking out more potent painkillers. The latest numbers show that 37% of prescription opioid users are using painkillers that were stronger than morphine, whereas this figure was 17% between 1999 and 2002.
Stronger-than-morphine drugs include fentanyl, hydromorphone, methadone, oxycodone and oxymorphone. Purdue Pharma's Oxycontin was approved in 1996, marking a turning point for the category.
The poll did not indicate whether the people taking the prescription painkillers were the people for whom they were prescribed.
The painkiller category has drawn the ire of lawmakers and addiction advocates over the drugs' advertising and the category's high abuse rates.

Adverse aircraft-pilot coupling (APC) events include a broad set of undesirable and sometimes hazardous phenomena that originate in anomalous interactions between pilots and aircraft. As civil and military aircraft technologies advance, interactions between pilots and aircraft are becoming more complex. Recent accidents and other incidents have been attributed to adverse APC in military aircraft. In addition, APC has been implicated in some civilian incidents. This book evaluates the current state of knowledge about adverse APC and processes that may be used to eliminate it from military and commercial aircraft. It was written for technical, government, and administrative decisionmakers and their technical and administrative support staffs; key technical managers in the aircraft manufacturing and operational industries; stability and control engineers; aircraft flight control system designers; research specialists in flight control, flying qualities, human factors; and technically knowledgeable lay readers.... unnecessary filtering.

Brett was thorough and patient with me. He explained the oboe embouchure in a way that really made sense to me. I would absolutely take another lesson from him again!
