Total votes: 366
In general, how satisfied are you with the care you or your child receive at your quarterly diabetes clinic visits?Poll dates: November 23 - 30, 2003
Total Votes: 366
Just under two-thirds of people who responded to this poll report being very satisfied or extremely satisfied with the care they or their child receive during their quarterly diabetes clinic visits. If you include those who responded with "satisfied," that number increases to 81% -- four out of five. That's a great report card for the many health care professionals across the country and the world who help us manage our diabetes.
For those who are not satisfied, it's important that you let your diabetes team know what the problem is so that they can try to resolve it. If, after working together to resolve your concerns, you still feel unsatisfied, then it's time to consider finding a new team to help you.

Last month, we announced the name of Greater Manchester's new smart ticketing scheme: Get Me There.
The ensuing debate is proof of the passionate interest people have in a project that aims to radically change the way people think about and go about using public transport.
No other city region of our size in Europe is without some form of smart ticketing, yet arguably nowhere else in Europe has the complex ownership of transport providers that Greater Manchester has to contend with.
So how do we bring together a disparate group of commercial organisations, each with their own commercial interests, to create a seamless, integrated way of paying for and using all modes of transport?
How do we ensure that the technology we're investing in doesn't become obsolete within a few years in a rapidly changing world?
Some have queried why we don't just join up with London's Oyster card, which is most people's current benchmark for how smart ticketing operates.
The undeniable success of Oyster led the Department for Transport to mandate a national standard for smart ticketing, called ITSO, with the aim of ensuring that all future smart systems from different regions will 'talk' to one another easily.
But Oyster is not based on this standard, so in London there will need to be a major – and very expensive – upgrade.
Our system must be able to cope with future developments, which means it has to accept not just one card, but the myriad of different bank cards, concession cards and digital devices that we could all be using in one, two or 10 years' time.
It effectively needs to be a virtual 'account' for travel that people can access, however they like.
What we know from listening to our customers is that ultimately people care more about what smart ticketing does for them than what it is called.
Oyster had no connection with London or with its heritage – or even with what it was for.
Once people started to use it, the name just became associated with what the card did.
Ultimately, what Get Me There will offer is a simpler, more flexible and better value way to travel around Greater Manchester, whether travelling by bus, tram and train.
That's what the travelling public want.
They don't want to see a tram pulling away as they queue for a ticket.
They don't want to have to worry about having the right change for the bus, or which company is running it.
They don't want to have to end up buying several tickets in order to get from A to B.
They don't want fuss.
But to make something that works so simply we have had to build a complex system behind the scenes that is robust and reliable.
That takes time, careful planning and plenty of testing.
Our roll-out plan does just that, starting first with a staged approach on Metrolink from spring to autumn in 2014, before moving on to buses.
Unlike London, there are more than 30 independent commercial bus operators here – all with their own fares and various ticket products.
That presents a challenge, but discussions are well advanced and Get Me There on bus is expected early in 2015.
On rail, the franchises for the current Northern and First TransPennine Express services are due to be replaced in early 2016, and we expect Get Me There to be part of that process.
More information will be available soon about how Get Me There will work.
You can register your interest in the system now by going online at getmethere.com or through Transport for Greater Manchester Travelshops.

Just days after Google announced its plans to purchase DoubleClick, the number-one player in the non-search online advertising market, Microsoft representatives publicly asked the US government to intervene. Although no formal complaints have been made to US or international antitrust regulators yet, Microsoft issued a statement noting that the Google-DoubleClick deal will let Google monopolize online advertising.
"This proposed acquisition raises serious competition and privacy concerns in that it gives the Google DoubleClick combination unprecedented control in the delivery of online advertising, and access to a huge amount of consumer information by tracking what customers do online," Microsoft General Counsel and Senior Vice President Brad Smith said. "We think this merger deserves close scrutiny from regulatory authorities to ensure a competitive online advertising market."
Google announced its intention to purchase DoubleClick for $3.1 billon on Friday. The company beat out Microsoft, Time Warner, and Yahoo!, which were jockeying to purchase DoubleClick as well.
Google said that Microsoft's complaints are baseless. "We've studied this closely, and their claims, as stated, are not true," Google CEO Eric Schmidt told "The New York Times."
Microsoft and Google have butted heads in the antitrust arena before. In 2006, Google complained to antitrust regulators in the United States and Europe that Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 7.0 didn't make it easy enough for users to change their default search engines to Google. However, regulators found that IE 7.0 was consumer-friendly and made changing the default search engine simple.

Fresh is an overused and usually exaggerated description of new country/pop artists. But, in some cases, it actually fits as in the case of David Tennyson Dublin Who Knew CD. The arrangements, sound and vocals mesh perfectly to deliver a multi-hued musical treat… especially Tennyson's own songs New Sensation and She Was A Mystery.
Title song Who Knew should be on the charts!
Wonderful selection of new and cover tunes by a talented new artist. Mellow and sweet vocals. A fine production by an impressive list of musicians. This CD should get noticed.
Excellent country pop CD – Pick up a copy.
We checked out your Who Knew CD. Excellent vocals, musicianship, and songwriting on this strong coutry pop CD. Asking for the Moon and Who Knew both have hook-filled choruses with nice 2-part or 3-part harmonies and strong resolution.
I can't stop SPINNING!!……Asking for the Moon is sweet sweet surrender
David Tennyson…Who Knew…Indeed….I'm Stuck!
What a great cd! I just can't believe I can't stop spinnin' it!
forthcoming cd…What's Next.

I'll tell you the truth; I haven't always liked my profession. I quit college to get married in the '80s, and then I had a child soon thereafter. If I hadn't made those choices at such a young age, I probably would have ended up doing something else. But in my early 20's, I found myself divorced with a toddler. I had so little imagination, I thought I was looking forward to a life of either blue-collar work or poverty. I had three choices…go on welfare and become a statistic, find a back-breaking factory job that would pay the bills (which would have eventually been outsourced anyway), or take some classes at the local community college that would help me give my son a middle-class (ie. "better") life. I couldn't picture myself doing either #1 or #2, so I went to nursing school.
In the early days, I defined myself by what I did for a living. I was young and I thought that "ER nurse" was the coolest answer I could give to the question, "what do you do?" I collected initials behind my name and prided myself on being the fastest, smartest, most efficient and skillful ER nurse that I could be. When tragedy struck, such as the drowning of two little boys, brothers, in an unsupervised pool with an unlocked gate, or when the sole survivor in a car crash that claimed the lives of seven people was a four-year-old girl asking, "Where's my mommy and daddy?", I distanced myself emotionally from the human aspect of the job. I believe that to cry would show weakness, and furthermore, if I let these things bother me, how could I function? Besides, I was more focused on living the life of a young, cute, self-destructive ER nurse, just like on TV. Partying with my ER buddies on my nights off, chasing cute guys, making up for all the fun I thought I had missed out on because I married young. I thought any young woman would love to have my life, because it was anything but boring. But I didn't know who I was or what I was doing.
After just a few years, I found my life in ruins. (Another blog post for another time). My father had just died too, the person that I most wanted to make proud. I left nursing for a little while, and a shift happened (again, another blog post, or several, for another time). I returned to nursing, but I never returned to the ER. I was not the same young woman. I was beginning to know myself, and hitting rock bottom had humbled me enough that I had a new empathy for my fellow human being. I came back with a renewed sense of purpose. I wanted to make a difference.
Since then, there have been times that I've wanted to leave the profession. Sometimes "doing my job" involves carrying out orders that I know are not in the best interests of my patient, even though they are perfectly acceptable from the perspective of medical practice standards. In these times, I have felt like I am just a cog in the wheel of the big, bad machine. That is not what I want to be. I want to make a difference, remember? At other times, I connect with a patient on such a deep level that I feel that fate must have put me there in that place, at that time. These are the times when I have felt that I have a gift to bring to my patients.
When I am titrating the Pitocin, interpreting the fetal monitor strip, or handing the doctor an amnihook, I am not doing anything special for my patient. In fact, sometimes I do those things against my better judgment because it is my job. If I weren't doing those things, some other nurse would be there doing them. It's the things I do that aren't really in my job description that I feel are my greatest contributions to the nursing profession.
I am currently on a travel assignment, and I've been having a hard time with homesickness and questioning my motivation for doing this assignment, as well as whether I want to keep nursing at the bedside when it's over. Last week, I had a patient that really touched me and gave me a reason to keep going. My interaction with her was the catalyst for this blog post. She was (is) an immigrant from one of the lesser-known African nations, having come to the United States sixteen years ago to escape the misogynistic control of the society there. She came to the U.S. at the age of 23, met a nice man, got married, became a Jehovah's Witness, and eventually had a son, who is now four years old.
Because of her spirituality, she refused blood products and an MRI to rule out the suspected placental accreta, which earned her the unofficial label of "difficult patient." Due to these and other risk factors, she had undergone a cesarean despite the fact that her baby had died in utero. She had nicknamed her baby Jack-Jack, and his loss was devastating, especially since her age (nearly 40) and her medical issues made having another baby nearly an impossibility.
Her husband left her in the evening to go home and care for their young son, leaving her alone. It was one of those uncommon nights where I actually had some free time, which was good because she called me into her room and told me she needed me to sit with her. She said she needed a woman to talk to. I'm glad she was specific. I'm good at meeting my patients' physical needs, but I'm not always good at reading the emotional needs of a person that I just met, despite how hard I try. I ended up spending a total of about four hours sitting and talking with her that night.
She talked about her faith. She told me the story of having been raped by an uncle in Africa and becoming pregnant at the age of 14. Despite the trauma, she wanted to keep her baby. Her family took her to the doctor for what they told her was prenatal care, and they gave her something they told her was a vitamin. It was a sedative, and when she woke up, she had undergone an abortion against her will.
She told me about the traumatic birth of her other son four years ago, here at this very hospital, and the extended hospital stay afterward, and how because of it and her experience in Africa, she held a lot of mistrust and bitterness toward the health care system. She told me how the doctors, residents, and nurses at her first hospital stay treated her like she was stupid and wouldn't listen to her spiritual and physical concerns. She told me that she hadn't believed them this time when they told her that her baby was dead, that she had demanded a second opinion, and that she had been rude and hard to deal with.
We talked about Jack-Jack's soul. She said she knew that the baby she knew that moved and kicked in her belly was still alive somewhere, but not here. Still, she wanted to say goodbye to his little body one last time, even though she had held it for hours that afternoon when it was still warm. She said she knew it was irrational, but would I please go get him for her?
I went down to the specimen refrigerator, where the body was awaiting transport to the morgue, and retrieved her baby's cold, refrigerated body. I unwrapped it from the plastic bag that contained it, and redressed it in baby boy clothes and a handmade blanket. I placed Jack-Jack's body in a bassinet and brought it back to her. We both cried.
What I did was probably against the rules. I don't really know. And it certainly wasn't in my job description. Any nurse would have assessed her incision and given her pain medication, but not every nurse would have given her the emotional support she needed that night. Not because I'm a special nurse, but because I just happened to have the time that night, and we just happened to connect on a deeper level. We connected not just as patient and nurse that night, but as women, and as mothers.
She thanked me for the "girl talk", as she called it. She thanked me for bringing her baby's body back to her. She thanked me for helping her get through the first night without him. But most importantly, she thanked me for restoring her faith and trust in the medical profession. Despite all that, I'm sure she helped me more than I helped her.
I'm not the same lost, overachieving young nurse that I was twenty years ago. I have heard it said, as the healer heals others, she also heals herself. I don't know about being a healer, but I'm certain that those patients whose lives I've touched the most profoundly have played the biggest part in my own soul healing. There are times when I'm so busy taking care of everyone else's needs that I don't take care of myself, but I've learned to cut myself some slack. Nursing is a hard job, and I'm sure I'm not the only nurse who has ever questioned my career choice. We are at times overworked, underappreciated, and stretched thin. There is something to be said for accepting and even appreciating the consequences of the choices you have made. That is what I want for my fellow nurses. Despite the challenges, I want you to see the potential you have for touching people's lives, cut yourself some slack, break down the walls that you think are protecting you from being hurt, and be human. And I want you to love yourself for it.

Authorities concluded that gunman Adam Lanza acted alone when he shot and killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary school last December, but his motive remains a mystery.
"Why did the shooter murder twenty-seven people, including twenty children?" Danbury State's Attorney Stephen Sedensky wrote in a 48-page summary of an 11-month state police investigation released Monday. "Unfortunately, that question may never be answered conclusively, despite the collection of extensive background information on the shooter through a multitude of interviews and other sources."

Windows Server 2012 - Sysprep fails if system has RDS role installed with application error for C:\Windows\system32\sysprep\unbcl.dll
This is an issue that seems to be new with Server 2012 and RDS services.
If you are trying to clone a RDS server with VMware, follow the steps below.
When you use VMware to clone this server, make sure to NOT use the sysprep customization rules, otherwise the process will fail.
Once the clone is complete, start the server and login. Be careful here if you are using static IP addresses as you just created a duplicate!
Once you are in the server. Change any static IP addresses to Dynamic, change the computer name to something else other than your production server name, disjoin the server from the network, and remove anti virus software.
Reboot the server.
After the steps above are complete, navigate to: c:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe
You can run this by CLI or GUI.
Select "Enter System Out-of-Box Experience OOBE
Select "Generalize"
This will setup the server with a new name, SID and have each new RDS host ready to deploy.
Once the server has rebooted, you should come back to a general screen that looks like a new OS install.
Shut the server down and convert this cloned VM to a template.
You can now deploy your RDS servers from this template and you should get a new SID every time.
You will have to import your certificates again if you are using 3rd party SSL certs.
So the sysprep in this case only fails if cloning via VMware with the customization? In your step 2, it looks like you just use sysprep manually and it works fine?
the VMware only fails if the server has the RDS software installed. I was cloning a RDS host server. After speaking with VMware, they agreed it must be something in the software blocking the sysprep from finishing. By manually running sysprep, I was able to complete the setup even with RDS services installed
OK, so it's not sysprep failing because of RDS, it's sysprep failing because of RDS when using VMware to prep. Got it. :)

Open Thread: Everything You're Reading, Watching, Listening To and Looking At
This is your place to talk about the TV, movies, music, books and art that are thoroughly entertaining you.
I mean, I basically had to. My mom watched it, my grandma watched it, my aunts watched it and even an uncle of mine taped it every day to watch when he got home from work. (That was in the bygone era of VHS; he now has the convenience of DVR.) It was practically a family tradition!
I have a vivid memory of sitting around our lunch table in 1995, talking to my fellow first-grade friend about Dr. Marlena Evans' Satanic possession and being shushed by a teacher who clearly didn't think two little girls should be watching a soap opera. Tough shit, cause I'm still watching it almost twenty years later, albeit much more infrequently. But when I tune in on a day off and I'm super lost, I can always call my grandma Louann for a refresher.
The magic of a soap like "Days" is that you can quit for awhile, take a sick day and immediately catch up on what's happened in Salem since you last tuned in. I strongly believe about 80% of the population has at least dipped their toes into the soap opera world. Maybe you watched one in high school or college. They've been on for decades, dudes!
The only currently-airing soap I claim to be well-versed in is "Days," though I was totally knowledgeable about "Passions" and watched that shit from day one. I had signed photos of the entire original "Passions" cast, except for Jesse Metcalfe, AKA Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald. Sadly, they disappeared. The only two I have left are Ben Masters (Julian Crane) and Josh Ryan (Timmy the doll), which is pretty legit considering Ryan died during filming and the rich, scheming and dirty Julian Crane was clearly the best character.
Before we dive in, let's quickly discuss "Passions." Was it the greatest show ever to air? I kind of think so. I mean: a doll who comes to life and drinks martinis, a hermaphrodite villian, a Princess Diana storyline, a Bollywood parody … that show had it all. RIP, Passions. Nine seasons was not enough. You truly are my passion for life.
But back to "Days." "Days" is my soap. I know all about the main families: the Hortons and the Bradys. (My mom's family has a group Christmas tree and we all hang our ornaments on it on Christmas Day, Horton-style.) I remember watching Vivian bury Carly alive, the aforementioned possession, the Princess Gina storyline where Hope Brady was brainwashed by the dastardly Stefano diMera into thinking she's an art thief. I can recite the "supercouples" at a moment's notice: Bo and Hope, Marlena and John, Jennifer and Jack, Austin and Carrie, Lexi and Abe (gone, but not forgotten), Vivian and Ivan (well, not quite) …
My entire family mourned when Frances Reid, who played original character the beloved Grandma Alice Horton, died.
"Days" is so iconic that Joey from "Friends" joined the cast as Dr. Drake Ramoray. E! did a short-lived reality show about soap stars called "Dirty Soap."
I've seen "Days" actors like Jensen Ackles (Eric Brady), Lisa Rinna (Billie Reed), Alison Sweeney (still playing the infamous Sami Brady) go on to other careers in TV and film. I've watched actors leave, get replaced by someone who bears a very vague resemblance to them, and return as if nothing had happened. Actors from other soaps (Theresa and Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald from "Passions" come to mind) show up on "Days" in new roles, but I always refer to them as their former selves.
Did you know John Aniston, who plays media titan Victor Kiriakis, is Jennifer Aniston's dad?
While many soaps have sadly gone off the air, there are still a few alive and kicking. ("Days," "Bold and the Beautiful," "Young and the Restless" and "General Hospital.") James Franco even did a short stint on "General Hospital" to learn the ropes and conquer the rapid filming pace of a soap opera. "Soap Opera Digest" is still in print on newsstands. Fans were outraged when "All my Children" bit the bullet and it made an attempt to broadcast online, but I guess it was just canceled again.
Though soaps are notoriously full of rape, abuse, incest, murder and the like, they're also some of the first TV shows to discuss interracial romance, disease, homosexuality and even PTSD. "All my Children" aired the first lesbian wedding on daytime TV back in 2009.
Why do soap operas endure? For me, it's the familiarity of the storyline; at heart, it's about a small town and the people who inhabit it. Sometimes they die and are miraculously brought back to life, or a hurricane hits, or maybe the witch next door has Hell in her basement. For those of us who enjoy soap operas, the characters become iconic. We know the diMeras are a bad, bad clan. We've watched Sami Brady go from scheming teen (she drugs who she thinks is her sister's boyfriend, rapes him and gets pregnant, only to find it wasn't Austin at all but Lucas!) to is-she-good-or-bad mother who changes boyfriends a lot. (I think she's married to EJ diMera right now.) Soap opera stars are a special kind of famous; they might not get pages devoted to them in Us Weekly, but they sure as hell can't shop unnoticed in a Midwestern mall.
We've seen a resurgence in the nighttime soap opera too: "Scandal" is a good example, and damned if "Grey's Anatomy" isn't soapy as shit. Even teen dramas like "Gossip Girl" have taken more than a few cues from soaps. We wouldn't have had a "Beverly Hills, 90210" without soap operas.
Can we talk about soap opera actresses for a minute? Not only are most of them heart-stoppingly beautiful (Nadja Bjorlin, formerly of "Days," comes to mind) but they NEVER AGE. Deirdre Hall, who plays Marlena (or Doc, if you're her husband John Black), looks almost exactly as she did in the '90s and she is 66 years old! Susan Lucci is flawless too, and Joan Collins is still a megababe even at 80. What is their secret? I need to know for future reference.
I know my family will be insanely disappointed when "Days" goes off the air. It's bound to happen. But we'll always have the memories of Salem … and our faux-Horton Christmas tree.
What are your favorite soap operas? Which storylines were your favorites? I really, really want to know. Are soaps a family tradition for you too? Let's reminisce.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 (Xinhua) -- The White House on Monday said Vice President Joe Biden has arrived in Iraq to participate in a change of command and change of mission ceremony, marking the end of U.S. combat missions in Iraq.
This is Biden's sixth trip to Iraq since January 2009. The United States ends its combat mission in Iraq on Aug. 31, having drawn down to fewer than 50,000 troops from approximately 144,000 troops in January 2009, according to a statement from the White House.
After the drawdown, the remaining troops will advise and assist Iraq's security forces, conduct partnered counter-terrorism operations, and protect U.S. civilians. In accordance with an agreement between the U.S. and Iraqi governments, all U.S. forces will leave Iraq by Dec. 31, 2011.
Biden will meet with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi, Vice President Adil Abd al-Mahdi, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, leader of the Iraqiyya coalition Ayad Allawi, Chairman of the Islamic Supreme Council Ammar al-Hakim and other political leaders to discuss the latest developments in Iraq and to urge Iraqi leaders to conclude negotiations on the formation of a new government, according to the White House.
U.S. President Obama will deliver an address on Iraq on Aug. 31.

Thobeka Madiba-Zuma, a former bank clerk who became polygamous Mr Zuma's third current wife when she married him in 2010, claims that 36 pieces of "exclusive" jewellery in a Clarins cosmetic case were stolen from her bag while in transit in December last year.
Among the items she listed as lost, according to a claim form obtained by Beeld newspaper, were £32,000-worth of diamonds including a diamond arm band, two diamond sets of earrings, bracelets, chains and pendants, two diamond rings and a diamond and gold ring in the shape of a snake.
An accompanying cover letter sent to the airline on presidential headed notepaper read: "Pls find Madam Zuma's claim for processing as a matter of urgency". The jewellery was transported in an unlocked suitcase and were not insured, according to Beeld, But the airline, SA Airlink, reportedly rejected the suggestion that Mrs Madiba-Zuma's bag was tampered with after an investigation that included studying CCTV footage and polygraphing all its staff.
The jewellery loss occured when Mrs Madiba-Zuma flew from Nelspruit to OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg before driving on to Bloemfontein to join her husband at the ANC's elective conference before Christmas.
"I last saw my Clarins cosmetic (bag) containing the stolen jewellery inside my burnt orange Cellini Microlite suitcase @ the hotel when packing & getting ready to leave for the airport (in Nelspruit)," she is quoted as saying by Beeld in the claim form sent to the airline.
"We arrived at the airport & the luggage (was) handled by my supports team." She went on to say that her luggage was collected at OR Tambo by her personal assistant and a VIP lounge staff member before being put in her car.
"On arrival in Bloem the luggage was handled by my protectors. When getting ready for the dinner, I noticed that the creme (sic) Clarins cosmetic bag was missing from the suitcase," she wrote.
Neither Mrs Madiba-Zuma nor SA Airlink responded to requests for comment.
According to Beeld, Mrs Madiba-Zuma said she was in talks with lawyers about how to proceed.

Tag: bedroom
Is this the dog-human bed of the future?
Surveys have shown that as many as half of us sleep with our dogs, so isn't it time the makers of bedroom furniture started to catch up with the dog-loving times?
And, if they did, would this be the bed of the future?
This sort of bed makes pretty good sense to me, and I think Ace would like it, too.
But for you to understand that, I have to explain the tenuous in-bed relationship my dog and I have.
As soon as I turn in, Ace rushes to the bed, waits a second or two for me to say "OK!" and jumps in — jumps in as if he is thrilled beyond belief to have the distinct honor of sleeping at my side.
He settles down, after the mandatory circling, a few feet away, and with his head at the end of the bed my feet are on.
He waits a few seconds for me to get snuggled under the blanket, pat his butt and say goodnight.
The idyllic picture ends there.
From that moment, any movement by me — and especially by my feet — leads him to lift his head, turn and give me an annoyed look. After the third annoyed look, he harrumphs, gets out of the bed and heads to the floor, the futon in the den, or the sofa in the living room.
My recent purchase of a new mattress helped some. I could shift without him being bounced around. But still, any even minor movement of my feet — whether they are under the blanket or not — sets him off.
So, no, we don't exactly snuggle all night long, even in winter. According to one survey, while 52 percent of pet owners sleep with their pets, only 23 percent snuggle next to them all night long. (We imagine the numbers are similar for spouses.)
For those of you who might also fall into the non-snuggling category, or who have dogs that fall into this category — i.e. those who appreciate the closeness without the contact or movement — this wooden bed by DoggieDilemma might be worth looking at.
This oak and pine king bed frame ($1,700) leaves a 23-inch wide space for a dog bed insert — be it blankets or a doggie mattress. A queen-size version ($1,500) is also available.
Of course, to our human eyes, this bed is not all that different from putting a doggie bed at the foot or side of your bed — especially if your box spring and mattress are, as in my case, on the floor.
But I think most smart dogs know the difference. They want to be not only on the same level, but in, or on, the same piece of furniture as you.
Furniture makers aren't quite as smart. They've only begun to catch on. One can now find bedside tables that double as crates, or stairs that allow your small or elderly dog to climb into bed with you.
But with few exceptions, they haven't quite realized: It's not my bed, it's our bed.

As a postscript to your review of The Vagina Monologues ["Equal Time," Jan. 23], I wanted to clarify a couple of commonly misunderstood issues for your readers.
1. The off-Broadway production of The Vagina Monologues is a commercial endeavor that travels from one city to the next. It features three "stars" who share the monologues. V-Day (www.vday.org) is a nonprofit, global grassroots organization that uses The Vagina Monologues to raise money and consciousness about violence against women. As a community theater production, these shows are significantly different than the off-Broadway series, even though the content is the same.
2. V-Day has two distinct groups. One is the College Campaign, in which Meredith and UNC are engaged. The other newer arm of V-Day is the Worldwide Campaign. More than 200 cities around the world are participating in this effort. Only four cities in North Carolina are participating this year and two are in our area.
As the founder of V-Day Chapel Hill and V-Day Durham, our community theater benefit productions of The Vagina Monologues will be presented on Feb. 23 in Carrboro and March 1 in Durham. Funds raised in these events go to local organizations that support efforts to end violence against women in our community. Readers can purchase tickets at one of our outlets (Weaver Street Market, The Ink Spot, Green Tara Gallery, Ladyslipper Music, or Beggars & Choosers) or learn more about our productions at www.PraxisLearn ing.com/vday.htm
More unhappy sons
I read with interest your recent article "Uncivil War" [Jan. 16] and was impressed by your research into the issues and parties involved.
However, you did miss one opportunity to nail down exactly what "Dr." Neill C. Payne, executive director of the Southern Legal Resource Center (SLRC) and Kirk Lyons' brother-in-law had to say on behalf of himself, his SCV Camp, and the SLRC as regards several rather odious concepts that he obviously holds dear. Payne sent a message to me in 1997 after he became aware that, as the originator of the Southron Ring, I had taken action to remove the Web site of the Tennessee Division of the SCV from my Ring following their statement of unconditional support for a renowned racist who was serving as their heritage officer.
The message (on the bottom of the specified page) has been posted for some time on the 37th Texas' Web site exactly as it was received, despite several threats of legal action by Kirk Lyons and an accusation by H.K. Edgerton that the "Organization" line had been added post-receipt. No editorial changes have ever been made: www.37thtexas. org/html/racists.html.
Elementary lift
I am a teacher in Chatham County and I read the short article Victoria Wentz wrote about teaching [Taking Notes," Front Porch, Jan. 16]. It was the best laugh I had all week. I intend to get my sister a subscription to The Independent if Ms. Wentz has another article. My sister would appreciate the good laugh too! I am still smiling and it has been three days since I read the article. Thank you.
The guy next to you
This letter is in response to Godfrey Cheshire's review of the movie, Black Hawk Down ["Home and Away," Jan. 16]. I am a disabled Vietnam veteran, the son of a World War II vet and the father of a Navy petty officer. That said, on what do you base your statement that the only reason that the Rangers killed the Somali militia was just because they were black? If you remember from the movie, one of the Rangers was black. The mission that the Rangers found themselves on was ordered by your President Bill Clinton. He authorized the raid. He was the one who denied the Rangers the use of armor and an AC-130 gun ship. If you would remember, this was the Alamo with saviors. What would you have wanted the troopers to do? Put down their weapons and surrender to the mob?
Something civilian people will never understand is that troopers fight for each other; it is your buddies who are the ones you fight for. Not country or ideals, but the guys you are with. William Shakespeare called it the Band of Brothers. If I had been with the Rangers and my own mother had picked up a weapon against them, I would have shot her dead.
This movie was made as a memorial for the 19 soldiers. By your disrespecting their memory, you have no honor and "a man without honor is not a man" according to an old Apache Indian saying. As you live your comfortable life with all the benefits, remember that brave young men died so you can live.

Saturday, November 8, ETS (Educational Talent Search) took 40 students from four schools to visit Gustavus Adolphus College. Twelve of these students were from Northeast Middle School. The group received a warm and very informational welcome by one of the admissions counselors, and each student even received a Gustavus t-shirt! Students also went on a tour of the campus, got to see a dorm room, and ate in the college's cafeteria. Everyone had a great time and learned a lot about Gustavus and college life in general.

Distraction comes at us from all directions. We often lose focus on who we are, what we want and how we are going to get there.
Some of us will be fortunate to realize this before it's too late, others will realize it but not make the necessary changes in order to achieve their goals.
Life is full of mistakes, fear of the unknown and regret. This side of life is dark and depressing. There is another side of life that most of us strive for.
Happiness, desire, truth, adventure, wealth, accomplishment and love. These things are very hard to get all at once and most of us spend our entire life chasing after some if not all of them.
What is my point? Open your eyes, stop complaining about your life if you aren't doing anything to change it. Don't give up on yourself, live each day trying to make a difference in your own life and someone else's life.
Life is a battle, fight alone if you dare but the outcome will not be so pleasant. Find a friend, soulmate or family member and fight together. Two is better than one and we need all the help we can get because LIFE can suck

This time I m not going to tell you a story. I'll just say that insanity is the inability to communicate your ideas. It's as if you were in a foreign country, able to see and understand everything that's going on around you but incapable of explaining what you need to know or of being helped, because you don't understand the language they speak there.

THE MINISTRY of Defence, Foreign and Commonwealth Office and F1 teams including Renault and Red Bull are helping Woodstock-based property and construction consultancy Ridge expand.
The £52m-turnover firm, which offers project management, building and surveying advice for building and civil engineering projects, recently won three major government contracts.
These were with the Ministry of Defence, Crown Commercial Service and Education Funding Agency.
Other high-profile clients include Jaguar Land Rover, Ascot racecourse, M&S and Doha International airport.
Revenues have grown 15 per cent each year for the past three years and the number of staff at the Oxfordshire head office has risen by 25 per cent during the past year.
It now employs 200 here plus another 350 staff in nine offices around the UK and has an outpost in Shanghai.
Ridge, which marked its 70th anniversary last year, recently extended its base at converted cowshed The Cowyards in Blenheim Park.
Partner and marketing manager Mark Nieuwenhuys said: "It is a huge achievement for us because we are competing against other businesses who are internationals employing thousands or tens of thousands, of people."
He added: "We are punching above our weight by getting these contracts."
Teams are a mix of architects, surveyors, electrical, mechanical or civil engineers and major bids can take months to put together.
The MoD contract bid had to be delivered to eight separate locations around the UK and its series of responses to technical questions and case studies added up to 50,000 words.
The vote to leave the EU and Brexit talks have not held the business back, according to senior partner Adrian O'Hickey.
He believes this is due to spreading its work 50-50 between public and private sector and across many different industries.
It has project managed the construction of grandstands, factories and commercial zones for F1 teams and also overseen big projects in social and private housing, education, leisure, retail, rail, healthcare and manufacturing.
Mr O'Hickey, who joined the firm in 1986, said. "What has been done is done and we can't affect the outcome of the EU vote.
"We have to be realistic that these threats are out there and the construction market is not the same as it was a year, or three years ago, so we have to come up with flexible solutions to minimise uncertainty.
"For instance, not only do we deliver nice, shiny buildings, we also provide services to maintain those buildings.
"What we do is provide the best and most flexible service we can."

Top Entrepreneurs 2012
The art of promoting cultural organizations
Clint White's calling is promoting the arts. He left small-town Virginia after college to work for the Sante Fe Opera, manage the Martha Graham Dance Company, handle marketing for the Whitney Museum of American Art and work for the New York State Council on the Arts, before heading to advertising firm EMG. At the same time, he and his wife, Marilou Aquino, formed a business called the Arts and Culture Network in 2001, building websites and doing marketing consulting for arts and educational organizations.
After 10 years at EMG, Mr. White, by then a vice president, was itching to create an agency with innovative ways of serving arts and education organizations. "I wanted to do more than push ads out to people," he said. "I wanted to act as a conduit to an audience, to have an ongoing conversation with consumers through websites, mobile solutions, apps and ads. It had to be the right mix directed at the right audience."
In 2009, he decided to act on that vision, using about $100,000 in his savings and investments from his family to form the marketing firm WiT Media under the umbrella of the Arts and Culture Network. Mr. White, 40, brought along Sean Keepers and Simona Tanasescu—a former senior art director and an account executive, respectively, at EMG. Mr. Keepers, 47, became creative director and Ms. Tanasescu, 34, became vice president of operations.
Since then, WiT Media has attracted some of the city's best-known nonprofit arts, culture and educational organizations as clients, including the American Museum of Natural History, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the New York Public Library and the Whitney Museum. It also serves a smattering of hospitality clients, such as the Hay-Adams hotel in Washington, D.C. "If you think about being a conduit to an audience," Mr. White said, "what arts, culture and education have in common with hospitality is their audience—affluent, sophisticated and educated."
Revenue at WiT Media, now a 12-�employee firm, rose to $6.5 million in 2011, double what it was in 2010. Phyllis Dealy, a partner at advertising agency Woods Witt Dealy & Sons in Manhattan, said that because Mr. White has experience inside cultural institutions, "[he can] really talk the talk and walk the walk—that's a big thing."
As many arts organizations look beyond selling tickets to pursuits like finding members and long-term supporters, WiT Media's focus on audience development has also attracted accounts. "Marketing efforts have to be concerned with how to keep an industry alive for future generations, so those kinds of clients may not be as well served by more traditional agencies," said Dawn Lerman, a marketing professor and director of the Center for Positive Marketing at Fordham University.
One broad way that WiT Media is supporting its clients is through Culturadar.com, a service that aims to create a new generation of arts patrons. The site provides access to critics' picks of cultural events from a city's main editorial sources and gives a rundown of what's going on locally at any given time, including discounts. Revenue is driven by advertising from cultural institutions.
The service launched in New York City in April and Chicago in May; it should be live in Washington, D.C., in June and San Francisco and Los Angeles by August. "Our theory is that younger audiences for the arts—especially those under 40—want to participate in these activities, but what's lacking is a place to get some direction about what they might like to do," Mr. White said.
On Culturadar, WiT Media clients will get "favored-nation status," said Mr. White, with their exhibits and deals at the top of the page. It's a way to get those institutions in front of consumers. "We do a lot more for clients than we actually bill them for, because they are nonprofits, but also because we see them as more than clients," he said. "We feel like partners."
Mr. White knows his clients' audience because he is that audience. He believes that's where WiT's success comes from: his lifelong passion for the arts and education. "What we have in common with our clients is a genuine love for their product—whether it's a museum, chamber music or continuing education. We understand their mission, their goals and their challenges."

NYPD Detective Fired After Allegedly Shooting Partner By AccidentA veteran NYPD detective was fired Wednesday, about a month after authorities said he accidentally shot his partner in the wrist.
Yankees' Mark Teixeira To Have Season-Ending Wrist SurgeryRecovery time is projected at six months. Teixeira said he'd likely have the surgery next week.
Season-Ending Surgery Still A Possibility For Yankees' TeixeiraBrian Cashman says surgery remains an option for Mark Teixeira after a cortisone shot didn't do much to help his aching right wrist.
Yankees' Girardi Relieved Teixeira Dealing With Wrist Inflammation, Not New Sheath Tear"That's a good thing," Joe Girardi said before the team's 6-5 win over the Los Angeles Angels. "If he was to re-tear it, that would probably be it for the season."
Sims: 2 Weeks Sounds Optimistic For Mark Teixeira's Wrist InjuryThe media references to Teixeira's injury noted the involved area to be his wrist -– a joint, while also pointing to a diagnosis of strain. This doesn't totally compute.
Nets: Deron Williams Wrist Surgery A SuccessNets guard Deron Williams underwent successful wrist surgery today in New York. Williams' wrist will be encased in a soft splint for two weeks, after which time he will begin rehabilitation.

Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance has emerged as one of the biggest challenges to confront the Australian insurance sector in many years and something which proved to be the major factor impacting insurance company balance sheets as well as super fund premium costs.
A range of factors have conspired to make TPD a problem ranging from changes to State Government Workers' Compensation arrangements to the profitability of plaintiff law firms. But the question remains: Is TPD irrevocably broken, or can a fix be found?

(You're gonna want to put some ice on that, Phil. Props: UFC.com)
We can forgive Phil Davis a moment of hubris. At 7-0, dude hasn't encountered a ton of adversity so far in his fighting career, so when somebody asks him what surprised him the most about transitioning from amateur wrestling to MMA it's actually sort of cute that his response is essentially: "Man, beating people up? That shit hurts."
Davis breaks it down for our man Ben Fowlkes over at MMA Fighting thusly:
"When you're at home watching the UFC and you see a guy get elbowed in the face, you think, Oooh, that poor guy, he just got elbowed in the face," Davis says. "But I'm here to tell you, that hurts your elbow. You don't think it would, but it hurts your elbow. When you calm down, stop sweating, get your shower and change, you will think, Man, my elbow really hurts. I'm telling you. It's surprising."
Coming from someone a bit more objectionable we might point out that the above quote sounds like standard "famous last words" from a fighter too green to know any better. But Davis seems like a nice guy, he's probably just playing and as one of the light heavyweight division's fastest rising stars – a guy with All-American wrestling skills and four stoppages in seven fights – we're gonna give him a pass on this one. Re-appropriating Paul Orndorff's nickname on the other hand? That's going to take some time for us to get over.
Anyway, ever the intrepid reporter, after hearing Davis' complaint about his aching elbow Fowlkes asks him if he ever stops to think about how the other guy must feel. Since he is an MMA Fighter, the answer is no. No, he never considered that.
"No … well, you know … no. I don't," Davis says. "I'll have to ask next time."
Classic. Now, for those of you about to jump all over the comments section with your "lay and pray" acusations – despite what we just said about Davis' near 60 percent finishing ratio – know this: Davis cares about you and wants to treat you right. He tells Fowlkes here he's been working hard to become more than just a wrestler. He wants to hurt people and stop them, damage to his elbow be damned. That's why he was so disappointed that his most recent fight against Rodney Wallace at UFC 117 went the distance.
"I don't want the fans to think I'm another one of those guys who just lays and prays and does nothing," Davis says. "I'm more than capable of putting on an entertaining fight, and that one just wasn't all that entertaining … It just wasn't a great fight, you know. I just felt like it was kind of an off night. I went out there, did what I needed to do, but I couldn't get a finish. And I felt like that was a guy I should have gotten a finish on. I left kind of feeling like, I guess I won, but I don't really feel like a winner."
Davis will try to do better this weekend as he takes on Tim Boetsch at UFC 123.

When: Wed., Sept. 29, 9 p.m. 2010
Detroit's irreverent garage-funksters Electric Six hail from the mid-'90s, when they were known as The Wildbunch. While it was an appropriate moniker, they reformed post-millennially as E6 and scored a hit first in the U.K., then here, with their cheeky "Danger! High Voltage" and the amusing disco-surf "Gay Bar." The group dons a variety of styles, all wedded to pulsing beats and a wry sense of humor. Their fame faded quickly, but they've continued to release fine, underappreciated albums and proved to be terrific, high-energy performers. Atlanta's Constellations just released a slinky, funk-infused debut that drifts through late-night psychedelic vistas colored by keyboard swirls and undulating rhythms. Tickets are $12 in advance or $14 day of for the 9 p.m. show. —Chris Parker

The Weir Family, 1820-1920: Expanding the Traditions of American Art is the first major exhibition to examine collectively the paintings of the American artists Robert Walter Weir (1803-1889) and his two sons, John Ferguson Weir (1841-1926) and Julian Alden Weir (1851-1919). In doing so it traces the trajectory of American art across the nineteenth century and into the twentieth, exploring the wide range of styles in which Robert and his sons worked, as well as the way in which their transatlantic encounters helped to shape their art.
Robert Weir was one of the first American artists to study in Italy, working there from 1824-27. Upon his return to America he became an associate at the recently-founded National Academy in New York in 1829 and, a few years later, an instructor at the United States Military Academy at West Point. He was renowned for his talent as a portraitist and a history painter (he painted one of the murals in the Capitol rotunda in Washington, D.C.). Robert's first son John trained with his father as well as in Europe. He then taught at Yale University for forty-four years, establishing the first academic art program at a university in this country. Early in his career he painted history and genre scenes, but was also an adept society portraitist. John's younger brother, Julian, was educated at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris from 1873-77. Although he initially expressed disdain for Impressionism and worked in an academic style, he later embraced the new movement and became one of the country's leading Impressionist artists.
This exhibition was organized by Weir expert Marian Wardle for the Brigham Young University Art Museum, which is a major repository for works by these artists due to its relationship with one of the family's descendants. It features more than 70 important paintings drawn from public and private collections and is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue featuring essays by leading scholars in the field, available in the Mint Museum Shops for $49.95. Mint Museum Uptown is the final venue for the exhibition, which has already appeared at the Brigham Young University Museum of Art and the New Britain Museum of American Art.
This exhibition was organized by the Brigham Young University Museum of Art and made possible through the generous support of the National Endowment for the Arts and foundation sponsor, the Henry Luce Foundation. Additional assistance has been provided by Jack and Mary Lois Wheatley and the Milton A. and Gloria G. Barlow Foundation. Presentation in Charlotte of The Weir Family is generously made possible by McColl Brothers Lockwood and McColl Partners, and the Mint Museum Auxiliary.

Stars Forever
Have you ever thought what it would be like to be "Star?" I am not sure what that conjures up in your mind but most likely fame, fortune; everyone loves you, a life with no worries. Realistically, we all know that is not the way it really is for the life of a "star" or any human being for that matter.
I read this verse the other day in Daniel 12:3 (THE MESSAGE) "Men and women who have lived wisely and well will shine brilliantly, like the cloudless, star-strewn night skies, and those who put others on the right path to life will glow like stars forever."
OH, that kind of star!! Don't you love it? Have you ever looked at the sky on a clear night and noticed how brilliantly the stars shone? It's amazing!!! That's what living wisely and well will accomplish – shining brilliantly.
Want to glow like stars forever? Put others on the right path to life. Live wisely and well. Shine brilliantly today!
Ask the Right Questions to Get the Right Answers
As a life design and business coach, I understand the importance of asking the right questions. Coaching is all about asking questions. The ancient Greek philosopher, Socrates, was a master at asking great questions and engaging his students. So much so that many universities today use the "Socratic Method" in their teaching. Asking difficult questions, pushing harder, encouraging fundamental insights to the issues at hand is at the heart of the method. It's about moving people along in a direction they want to go, with a goal of moving toward greater understanding and increased performance.
Of course, no one moves anywhere unless they move themselves. The Socratic Method is a way to help people see when and where they need to move. It leads people to explore and challenge their thinking, and discover answers for themselves.
Jesus was the ultimate Coach, long before Socrates, and used questions on many occasions to lead people to explore and challenge their thinking and discover answers for themselves. His goal was to move men and women toward greater understanding and increased performance.
In the gospel of Matthew, chapter 6, Jesus asks "Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?" Of course, the obvious answer is NO. Yet my answer and my behavior would expose a contradiction. So to end with a question: Will this discovery move me to greater understanding and increased performance?

SAN DIEGO (AP) The NCAA has suspended San Diego State freshman forward Winston Shepard for three games for violating an unspecified rule.
SDSU said it has appealed the penalty, but the suspension will be enforced during the process. Shepard was to begin serving the suspension Tuesday night, when the No. 25 Aztecs hosted San Diego Christian. He's also due to miss games at Missouri State and at home against Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
The school declined to provide specifics, saying only that the player inadvertently violated a rule and that the coaching staff reported it to the compliance staff, which self-reported it to the NCAA.
Shepard will continue to practice with the team.
Shepard was cited for marijuana possession on campus in late June. A school spokesman said Shepard was disciplined by coach Steve Fisher, which did not involve being suspended from games.
