I recently met (at least by phone) yet another women who is passionate about cycling – Rebecca Domange. Bec has been racing for just a few years and now wants to pass on what she's learnt by mentoring other women and even starting her own team in the future. Melbourne-based Bec Domange took up cycling about five years ago after injuries from running and basketball forced her to find a new sport and form of exercise and in her own words soon became addicted. She joined her local club – Caulfield-Carnegie and started racing E grade against the 10 andRead more

Great to see a new sponsor supporting women's cycling
It's great to see new sponsor bikeexchange.com.au stepping up to support a women's professional cycling team as reported on SBS Cycling Central. Look out for the team at this weekend's NSW Grand Prix in Wollongong and Cronulla. Go girls.Read more
Product review: Netti comes of age
A small side benefit of starting this blog (and letting a few people in the cycling industry know about it) is that I've so far received a few products to review so I want to disclose that up front. You might think that compels me to say great things about every product but luckily for me the Netti kit I was sent is really nice so it's easy to say nice things without it being seen as biased. The Netti brand has been around for many years and most cyclists associate it with high viz clothing for commuters, and inRead more
My 2011 Gong ride
I completed the Gong ride for the fourth time yesterday and thought it timely to tell you about my experience in the hope that it will encourage more female cyclists to participate in future events like this. Each state around Australia has these types of events that are run annually. Firstly, it was all good from my perspective so don't be expecting to read some gruesome tale here. Beautiful conditions – warm and very little wind. I did the Gong ride for the first time in 2008 about five weeks after I'd started riding so you can imagine that threeRead more
Female road cyclists – What should I wear?
When I first started riding I had just a few items of cycle clothing and I wasn't too fussed about what they looked like or even how they performed. Now, three years on I'm much more focused on both the appearance and the function of my cycle wear. So I thought I'd share what I've learnt in the past three years about dressing for riding from head to toe. I'll start at the toes and work upwards. Socks They may seem unimportant but if you're going to spend many hours wearing them, they need to be comfortable and look goodRead more
Women cyclists should give track a go
I had an opportunity to do a great two-day bike skills workshop earlier this year. The first day was on the Dunc Grey Velodrome at Bass Hill and while I hadn't previously considered track, I thought it would be a great opportunity to improve my bike skills. My partner Phillip started riding track last year, firstly to compete in the winter track series called RAW at the velodrome and then the summer series at Lidcombe run by our bike club LACC. So I've watched him plenty of times but never really considered giving it a go myself. The bike skillsRead more
Product review: Fizik Vesta Women's Saddle
I plan to review relevant products from time-to-time so please feel free to send them through. Here's my first attempt….. In the last couple of weeks I've been testing the Fizik Vesta Women's Saddle which is going pretty well. It looks and feels good so far and is definitely one I would consider if you're looking for a women-specific saddle for your road bike. I'm not an expert on saddles but from what I know women's saddles are made differently to men's to accommodate our anatomy. They often have more padding than men's and are usually wider at the backRead more
Great idea for increasing races & exposure of women's pro cycling
Once again Gerard Vroomen is on the money with his commentary on his blog. In his latest post he talks about the idea of including a professional women's race as part of all the high profile professional men's races. He also suggests that every men's pro team should have a women's team. A number of them already do including Australia's new team Greenedge, but there's always room for more. Read his whole post here. In this vein I was pleased to see that the men's Herald Sun Tour currently running in Victoria has a women's race running alongside it. Well done.Read more
Bike skills training for women
So you've got the shiny new bike. You sort of know how to ride it, because you rode a bike when you were a kid, and you seem to instinctively know how to keep your balance. However, you really feel a bit nervous and can't imagine you'll ever feel confident alongside all the other riders who appear to exude confidence. Sound familiar? It's exactly how most women feel when they take up cycling in their adult years. You'll be pleased to know that there are some passionate individuals out there who are helping to teach bike skills, and as aRead more

My Red Lipsticks!10:32 PM
I obviously love red lipstick, so I tend to gravitate toward them when I shop. I guess this explains why I have over 30 red lipsticks right now. I love to try out new brands and formulas and see what works best. Here is my current collection with a mini review of each along with my favorites of the bunch.
- MAC - Marilyn Monroe Collection in Deeply Adored (Matte) - I haven't used this one yet. I'm not 100% sure I'll keep it since it looks darker than my normal reds.
- MAC - Racy (Frost) - Not digging the frost so much on this one.
- MAC - Adore It (Glaze) - LOVE this. It's a bright pinky red. It's not super opaque, which makes it a perfect easy lipstick to take with if you aren't going to be able to apply using a mirror.
- MAC - MAC Red (Satin) - LOVE this too. It's a really perfect true red. It is pretty long lasting and has a nice balance of matte/shine.
- MAC - Lady Bug (Luster) - I was really excited to get this since I had heard it was a great red from MAC, but eh. I think because I already had Adore It to fill my easy red lip look, I didn't need this one. Don't get me wrong though, it's pretty and is a nice medium opacity red lipstick.
- MAC - Ruby Woo (Matte) - I heard so much about this lipstick and when I started getting into reds, I had to pick it up. It is a perfect matte red. I generally only like a super matte lip in the winter, which is odd since that's when I'm most dry, but I actually don't find Ruby Woo to be so drying. But it looks dry, so you sort of have to offset the matte by not having your face makeup be so matte.
- MAC - Marilyn Monroe Collection in Charmed I'm Sure (Matte) - I haven't used this one either. It's too pretty to use or something!
- Yves Saint Laurent - Rouge Pur Couture in Rouge Roxane - This leans orange and has a bit of frostiness to it, but it isn't too much and it comes off a little younger than a lot of frosty lips.
- Yves Saint Laurent - Rouge Pur Couture Vernis à Lèvres Glossy Stain in #9 - Super beautiful warm red with no shimmer. Plus, I love these glossy stains.
- Yves Saint Laurent - Rouge Pur Couture Vernis à Lèvres Glossy Stain in #11 - This is a really pinky red. Looks great layered up to a deep pinky red.
- Yves Saint Laurent - Rouge Pur Couture Vernis à Lèvres Glossy Stain in #20 - This was a Sephora exclusive color and I'm glad I picked it up. It's similar to #9, but this has a really nice gold shimmer in it.
- Yves Saint Laurent - Rouge Volupté in Red Muse - I can't get over how much I love this lipstick. It feels like silk going on and has a great color payoff.
- Dior - Diorific in Lady - The color is nice, but I don't tend to pick it up so much because it doesn't go on super smooth and feels dry on my lips.
- Tom Ford - Ginger Fawn - This is actually an orange that is kind of redish. Love how smoothly it goes on too.
- Estee Lauder - Pure Color in Rose Exposed - This is a berry-red. It has a nice texture and feels nice on, but I just don't pick it up often.
- Estee Lauder - Double Wear in Stay Scarlet - Very dry, but it sure does stay put!
- Estee Lauder - Mad Men Collection in Cherry - How adorable is this packaging? I tend to keep the boxes of my super pretty stuff anyway, but this one will NEVER be tossed out. It also comes with a little pouch for the tube. The color of this is a pinkish red and while it is a little drying, it stays on so well and such a pretty color, I don't care.
- Careline - #604 - This is a really nice deep red. The texture is great and it wears pretty well too.
- Tarte - Lipsurgance Matte Lip Tint in Firey - This goes on like a nice deep red and it's matte so it stays on well. I really like these products because they are really easy to apply.
- Tarte - Tarte for True Blood - This is my go-to red when I go out because it is a nice red with some shimmer, it wears off evenly so if I am not able to reapply I don't end up with a ring around my mouth and when I do want to reapply, I can do it easily without a mirror because these apply easily. Four stars!
- Sephora - Ultra Vinyl Lip Pencil in Fancy Red - This was an impulse purchase at Sephora and I wasn't expecting much, but it is really pretty. It does have that nice glossy shine that looks like vinyl and the color is deep red with sparkle. It wears okay, but not amazing. It feels a little weird on the lips too.
- Avon - Perfectwear Extralasting Lipstick in Eternal Flame - I saw this on a Pixiwoo video, I think, and loved it. While I do think it's a pretty color, it is drying and doesn't actually last too long on my lips. It felt really weird on too.
- Benefit - Full-Finish Lipstick in Flirt Alert - Another favorite lipstick! Soft and creamy, but still pretty long-lasting.
- Joe Fresh - Ruby (Matte) - Very dry, but a really pretty color! Plus the package is super light so it is a great purse lipstick.
- Joe Fresh - Big Apple (Cream) - Creamy and a little thick feeling on the lips, but another great color!
- L'Oreal - Colour Riche Caresse Wet Shine Stain in Endless Red - I just got a couple of these L'Oreal stains to compare to the YSL Glossy Stains (my love) and I am not too impressed. I'll do a side by side soon.
- Wet N Wild - Fergie Collection in Saraghina - Nice red! For the price, I really enjoy this. It isn't the most comfortable lipstick, but the color payoff is great and it is pretty long-lasting.
- Rimmel - Kate Moss in #01 - A deep red that feels nice on and stays put well.
- E.L.F. - Fearless - Feels heavy on the lips, is drying and is a drag to put on. Thumbs down.
- Revlon - Lip Butter in Candy Apple - These are nice, but a little sheer for me. It's a good transition color if you are looking to wear reds or if you want to just add a little red to your lips, but most of the time if I'm doing red, I'm going bold.
- Revlon - Cherries in the Snow - A very pinky red but it is kind of iconic. The color reminds me a lot of the YSL GS in #11 and I prefer that formula so I don't tend to pick this one up so much.
- YSL Rouge Volupté in Red Muse
- MAC in MAC Red
- Benefit Full-Finish Lipstick in Flirt Alert
- YSL Rouge Pur Couture Vernis à Lèvres Glossy Stain in #9
- MAC in Adore It
- Tarte for True Blood
- Estee Lauder Mad Men Collection in Cherry

Korte Calls the whole thing "Surreal", looking to continue improving
I had a chance to speak briefly with former Hillsdale College linebacker and Pittsburgh Steeler Tom Korte this afternoon.
Korte, who saw game action last night against the Cardinals in Pittsburgh's pre-season opener came up with a pair of special teams tackles and is still trying to digest the whole experience.
"It's really hard to describe," he said. "It's been almost a year since I last played at Hillsdale so you are dying to get out there against an opponent, but then you look at the stadium and who the opponent is and that type of audience, and to be on such a national stage...It's just surreal."
Korte also said he was overwhelmed by all of the congratulations he received after the game. "Charger Nation and Steelers Nation are both amazing. I have gotten so many calls and text messages, I can't believe it."
He also said it was nice to see a couple of familiar faces in Evan Brown and Aaron Waldie, two recent alums, who made the trip over to Heinz Field.
When asked about a little limp the ESPN cameras caught after a kickoff, Korte said the ankle is fine and someone had gotten blocked into him. He said it was the Steelers playing prevent and that nickel personnel package that kept him off the field at the end of the game and not any injury.
Overall, Korte says his health is just fine and has been lucky all camp. "The practices physically are actually a little easier on the body than at Hillsdale, but they are so mentally draining."
The focus is to just keep getting better. "I just have to work hard and improve each week. There are some things I know I can do better."
The Steelers travel to Washington on Saturday for their next pre-season game.

Awesome work A-Lo. Who said you're not a journalist? :) Who cares if you have a slant, this is good stuff, which I enjoy and I'm glad you addressed his ankle. Enjoy the weekend!

If anyone else is thinking about going to the Steelers/Redskins pre-season game at FedEx Field this Saturday, let me know. I am currently looking for tickets and would be interested in a pre-game tailgate.

Run a 5k- not the way I run now with the whole start stop deal
3. Keep writing…even if the writing isn't all that good
4. Find the balls to attempt to publish a book- anyone have a pair I can borrow?
5. Write poetry again…this may happen before thirty…I can feel the words bubbling beneath the surface
6. Find a church that feels like home (I've given up on this)
Learn how to forgive again- I used to be pretty forgiving, but some wounds are cut pretty deep 8. Take an art class
Go to a concert 10. Have more patience 11. Read a minimum of 100 books…keep a list to share with my daughters
12. Overcome my fear of water…or at least tempt fate and swim in the ocean a time or two
13. Minimize the whole guilt complex
14. Learn how to accept a compliment (probably not going to happen)
15. Believe in myself, and pray for those who don't have faith in me
16. Reconnect with old friends….quit retreating into my own little world when life hurts
17. Minimize my habit of procrastination
18. Inspire change ( I feel like this is happening in minute ways every time I step foot in the door of my current job)
19. Donate blood more often
20. Pay off my student loans (only 2 more years to go!)
21. Start writing down recipes so I have something to pass down to my children (thank Goodness for Pinterest)
Do something completely uncharacteristic of myself
Smile more (according to my children I have new wrinkles from smiling)
24. Take more pictures with my children instead of just taking pictures of my children…one day they will need something to remember me by ( I'm getting there)
25. Not let how others make me feel impact me negatively
26. Learn how to cry again
27. Go rock climbing
28. Push past the fear of rejection and just go for it
29. Curse a little less…let's be realistic, I won't stop completely
30. Decide what I want to be when I grow up
Ride on a motorcycle (this has been spoken of many times, just a little slow to officially add to the list)
32. Be the best me I can be
33. Visit a gun range ( I don't really care to do so any longer)
34. Sky dive (haven't quite felt brave enough lately)
35. Visit Rocky Ridge Refuge
36. Sing for pleasure again despite stage fright
37. Learn to drive over bridges without having a panic attack
38. Become a better mother
39. Accept that I like food, I like to cook, my summer dresses may not always fit, and be happy despite the extra fluff.

The sunset at Mambulao Bay makes a Mambulaoan proud -- Pic by ANDY FABOR
ON ITS company website, miner Johson Gold Mining Corp, a Php600 million concern, declared that its processing plant on the outskirts of Jose Panganiban town in Camarines Norte, Philippines, can handle gold-laden earth at the rate of 80-100 tons per day.
"'Gold recovery is between 80-85 per cent" from a head grade of 3-10gm of gold per ton of earth materials," the company said.
Simply put, the miner could extract about 240gms-300gms of gold from that heap of earth materials daily, a gold recovery that has to be maintained to remain viable.
Johson further reported, obviously for the benefit of potential investor/partners:
"In the last week of April, 2010 further field investigation through surface mapping of vein systems indicated existence of stock work within the eastern portion of the claim.
"A combined potential of bulk low-grade gold mineralization is roughly estimated at 96,000,000mt with an average grade of 2 grams per ton, therefore, 6,173,633 oz Au (gold).
"JGMC envisions an expansion, once its exploration program is completed and the project is much larger.
"JGMC would be responsible for developments, eventual mining operations and any further exploration on our existing properties.
"Either a 500 tons per day, 5,000tpd, 10,000tpd, or a 30,000tpd project will be developed," Johson said.
Since Johson controls about 426,7099ha of mineral rights/surface rights agreements with landowners as stated on its website, it should take long years of digging and hauling gold-laden earth materials before the precious metal at the mining camps would be exhausted.
And that's a mountain of earth to be hauled off from its two mining sites - the San Mauricio-Tacoma vein and Sta Monica-Sta Inez vein – and other mining claim areas around Mambulao to the processing plant which is located 100 meters above sea-level, a position that allows it to overlook the Mambulao Bay and the town poblacion.
Since Johson uses a lot of water to retrieve every gold particle, gold nugget and gold ore from a mountain of earth, one may wonder where the wastes from processing usually end up.
As medium-size gold operator, Johson may not be willing to spend more than what it has already sunk into its ponds to come up with better designed waste disposal facilities for its wastes and other potential pollutants produced by its operations.
In a few environmental-friendly mining operations around the world, miners have strived to build tailings ponds - at least three ponds measuring a minimum of a hectare in size each, sitting next to each other.
Here, waste water from processing is drained into the three ponds.
The first pond would handle the first bulk of wastes where the sediments are allowed to settle at the bottom of the pond, then, waste water with less sediments/mud is flowed into the second pond, where remaining sediments are allowed to settle at the bottom.
Then the waste water, now with less or almost clear of sediments/mud is flowed into the third pond where it is treated for recycling as fresh source of water to sluice down new batch of gold-laden earth.
And the whole process-cycle is repeated, with only less amount of fresh water being injected into the cycle to maintain the required volume needed to extract the gold.
In short, no water is spilled or released into the environment.
This is a costly affair, however.
Johson may not be able to build one like this, should the government's environmental protection agency require it to do so once it discovers its state of affairs. At the moment, it is only the municipal government that is aware of this anomaly.
In fact, until now Johson has not obtained a certification on the safety of its mine waste ponds
But the miner has to operate to recover its PHP600 million investment.
So until recently, it had been processing gold and dumping its wastes into containment ponds, which, according to Jose Panganiban town Mayor Ricarte Padilla, have not been certified as "safe" by the government.
Right now, Johson operations have been temporarily halted to give the miner a time to deal with its mine wastes problems.
Padilla said in a message posted on the Facebook account of an MWBuzz journalist: "… we are still requiring them (Johson) to put more safety nets and improve their tails ponds before we could issue them the necessary endorsement for their Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC).
The journalist asked the mayor through his Facebook account if Johson has facilities to contain its massive mining wastes, and he replied: "Meron po … but …"
Padilla has implied that his government has not been confident on the integrity of Johson's waste containment facilities, thus its refusal to endorse the request.
On the same website, the miner said: "Accessible by land, mill plant is in a moderate terrain exactly 100 meters above sea level.
"All (water) tributaries on both sides are drained thru the Mambulao Bay facing the Pacific Ocean."
Suddenly, a question pops up.
Does it mean to say that Johson's hundred tons of mining wastes - enough to create a new mountain, produced over the years and which could be possibly tainted with cyanide -- are exclusively being dumped only into its containment ponds?
But for how long could its ponds contain this huge volume of wastes without actually breaking and spilling them onto the nearby tributaries, which flow down the San Mauricio terrain and end up at the Mambulao Bay just a little over a kilometer away?
These days, the coastal waters of Mambulao, also known as Jose Panganiban, are in a sorry state.
In fact, the bay is on its way to death.
MWBuzz is giving it another 20 years before it finally dies out to become a bay of deathly pollutants of mercury and cyanide - produced from gold mining operations, or any mining affairs for that matter.
The pollution which is gradually choking it to death has intensified.
Jason Marcelo, the vice-president of Johson Gold Mining Corporation has an interesting angle of the story.
He has blamed mining operations from the 40s for the massive siltation of the Mambulao Bay.
Marcelo was referring to the defunct Philippine Iron Mines (PIM) in Larap which ceased operations in 1974 and the San Mauricio Mining Co, which quit sometimes during the 60s or ever earlier.
Marcelo told MWBuzz: "Please note that prior to today's rampant placer mining activities (small-scale operations such as gold panning) within the area, Mambulao Bay has already been silted or has already had siltation issues since the 1940's due to operations of old mining companies."
Early last month, two other local gold processors – the Escober and Romeo Diaz processing plants -- had operated with wanton disregards of the environment until the government stopped them after being found operating with expired permits.
The next thing to deal with are the unregulated gold-panning activities around Mambulao involving more than a hundred individuals, whose combined wastes are also contributing to the fast decline in the bay water's quality.
But as it is, the office of the municipal mayor can't do anything about this.
Monitoring and regulation, according to Mayor Padilla, is the responsibility of the DENR and Mines and Geoscience Bureau (MGB).
The municipal government can only endorse the gold operator's request for government certification, "once it (municipal government) is convinced that the miner has complied with all the necessary requirements under the law".
So far, Johson has not made the grade to deserve a municipal endorsement.
Once a greenish-bluish bay until seven years ago, Mambulao Bay has turned to a horrific muddy yellowish-brownish mess.
It can't even reflect on its surface the blue of clear, cloudless skies even how intensified the sun burns.
Constantly, throughout the day, the sick bay water stays brownish.
Marine life has abandoned it for safer habitats in Quezon and nearby Bicol provinces.
Brownish silt has now overwhelmed what used to be sandy beach, which is also being inundated by another type of pollution - household wastes.
At the back of the Jose Panganiban town hall, the supposed-to-be tourism-attraction beach sand at breakwater has become a muddy beach walk.
While the municipal government promotes the boardwalk jetty as a tourism spot within the town, a curious "tourist" would immediately notice, especially when the water starts acting up like it is being stirred up by the waves: "How come the water around here is brownish and the beach sand muddy?""
"What's going on?"
The townsfolk, however, don't bother about it.
Two things: it could be that what the brownish bay water they have been seeing all along since recent past has been a product of "progress", whatever that means as far as JP's economy is concerned.
Or that they just don't care.
Meanwhile, our beloved Mambulao Bay is dying little by little right at the backyard of the beautiful town hall building.
MWBuzz poses this question: Can Mambulaoans do something to save Mambulao Bay?
If they can … when?

Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) is attracting growing interest as two dimensional (2D) crystals beyond graphene. Of particular importance is an optoelectronic functionality based on valleytronics, which is strongly coupled with spintronics through the spin-orbit interactions, making TMD a quite unique system. Field effect transistor (FET) plays crucial roles, not only because of its ambipolar operations [1] and electric field induced superconductivity [2], but also because of its inherent broken inversion symmetry causing electric field induced Zeeman splitting [3]. In this presentation, we review our latest achievements on spin-valley physics and FET functionalities in TMD materials. We demonstrated for the first time the spin/valley polarization using spin- and angle resolved-photoemission spectroscopy. This became possible by choosing noncentrosymmetric bulk crystals. Photoluminescence circular dichroism proved that the noncentrosymmetric stacking enhances the valley polarization in bilayer, indicating that the noncentrosymmetric MoS$_{2}$ crystals are useful materials for the future valleytronics. As for the field effect, we performed systematic investigations of ambipolar FETs in MoX$_{2}$ (X $=$ S, Se, and Te), and found new field induced superconductivity in MoSe$_{2}$. 2D nature of electric field induced superconductivity was unambiguously demonstrated by the anisotropic $H_{\mathrm{c2}}$. We also demonstrated electroluminescence using the field effect geometry. \\[4pt] [1] Y. J. Zhang et al., \textit{Nano Lett.} 12, 1136 (2012), \textit{ibid.} 13, 3023 (2013).\\[0pt] [2] J. T.

Divine Strake CANCELLED!
You may remember a few months back that this blog participated in a "Blogswarm" on the issue of the Divine Strake bomb. Plans were to explode a huge bomb in the NV desert to help design "bunker buster" nukes. Greens and others across the nation fought and they backed off the test.
Well, now it's been cancelled. From a mailing list I participate in on anti-nuke issues:
Well, now it's been cancelled. From a mailing list I participate in on anti-nuke issues:
"Divine Strake," the proposed conventional explosion that would have simulated a nuclear weapon and spewed radioactive debris into the atmosphere, has been canceled! The test was slated for the Nevada Test Site this summer. Read the press release from the Defense Department. After months of public outcry from concerned citizens and members of Congress, the Pentagon has agreed to cancel the test. FCNL (Friends Committee on National Legislation, the Quakers) constituents sent hundreds of emails to the federal government and members of Congress opposing the test. They were joined by thousands of other concerned citizens and our voices were heard! Congratulations on a small victory. Lets keep up the good work.

The incretin hormone GLP-1, released by the gut in response to food intake, acts on beta and alpha cells in the pancreatic islets to increase insulin secretion and decrease glucagon secretion, respectively. But the glucose-lowering effects of GLP-1 are glucose dependent. This means that GLP-1 effects are attenuated at low plasma glucose concentrations. Thus, GLP-1 analogues, such as exenatide and liraglutide, and the DPP-4 inhibitors which lower glucose levels by GLP-1 mediated effects, appear to have a very low incidence of hypoglycemia in clinical trials (Figure 13.6). Avoidance of hypoglycemia, especially in comparison with sulphonylureas and insulin, is likely to be the major advantage of these newer treatments for type 2 diabetes.
Tight glycemic control is a risk factor for impaired glucose counter-regulation and hypoglycemia unawareness – lower levels of HbA1c result in a resetting of thresholds for the counter-regulatory and symptomatic responses to hypoglycemia at lower glucose concentrations. In addition, recurrent hypoglycemia exacerbates the defective responses to subsequent hypoglycemia, thus leading to a vicious circle of reduced awareness, increased vulnerability and further episodes of hypoglycemia (Figure 13.7). It is likely that the neurones that initiate the autonomic response adapt to chronic hypoglycemia by increasing glucose transporter expression and glucose uptake. Subsequent hypoglycemia then fails to produce sufficient intracellular glycopenia and therefore no longer elicits a response. There is also evidence that cortisol (released during the counter-regulatory response to hypoglycemia) dampens the hypothalamic sensing of glucose.
Most episodes of hypoglycemia can be self-treated by ingestion of glucose tablets or 20 g of carbohydrate in the form of juice, biscuits or a meal. Parenteral therapy is needed when a hypoglycemic patient is unable or unwilling (because of neuroglycopenia) to take carbohydrate orally.
Intramuscular glucagon is used by family members of patients with type 1 diabetes, but glucagon is less useful in type 2 diabetes because it stimulates insulin secretion as well as glycogenolysis. Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII, see Chapter 10) is associated with a lower frequency of hypoglycemia than multiple insulin injection therapy and should be considered as a therapeutic option in those patients with type 1 diabetes with frequent, unpredictable hypoglycemia. Newer insulin analogues may also decrease the risk of hypoglycemia.
Suspected severe hypoglycemia (e.g. in a diabetic patient with impaired consciousness or coma) should be confirmed by blood glucose testing. It should be treated immediately with oral glucose or, if the patient is unconscious or unable to swallow safely, with intravenous glucose or intramuscular or subcutaneous glucagon injection (Figure 13.8). Patients usually recover within minutes.

South State in Columbia, S.C., is planning to close 11 branches over the rest of this year.
The $8.7 billion-asset company said in a press release announcing its quarterly results that it will close nine offices and convert two others to drive-thru-only locations. Four of the branches are former Bank of America branches that South State bought last year.
South State, which said the moves should cut $3 million in costs next year, expects to incur about $3 million in one-time costs tied to the effort.
"However, resources will be deployed to support the continued growth of South State as we approach $10 billion in assets," the company said. Banks face mandatory stress testing and caps on interchange fees soon after reaching $10 billion in assets.
South State said it expects about 10% of the branches' $331 million in deposits to run off as a result of the consolidations.
The company's net income rose 2.4% from a year earlier to $24.5 million.

Today Grandma came over for the day. We went and did Delia's second "shoot" for her 2 year old pictures. I think we got a few keepers. This is my least favorite age to shoot. Second least favorite, 3 year olds! At least my kids anyway. Not sure Delia's 3 year old pictures will be any easier than these. Ben is easier to bribe for the most part, so I get a few cooperative shots and he is done for the day.
Next up, we went to lunch. We would still be there waiting on Delia to finish had I not decided for her. That girl just likes to entertain and graze.
Ben earned his 10th smiley face magnet for listening all day yesterday (for the most part!) and earned the garbage truck that he was supposed to earn for listening at swim lessons. It has taken a while to get those magnets earned!!! I must admit, I'm not good at remembering to give him magnets, and when I do, seems like he gets them taken away almost as fast as he earns them. Makes a great bargaining tool though.
Ben's first camping trip is tonight!!! I hope the boys have fun. Ben has been so excited. He keeps saying he is "I'm 'xcited!!" He liked the idea of sleeping in a sleeping bag and a tent. Can't wait to hear about it tomorrow. Delia and I had a good time playing kitchen in the playroom. For "real" dinner we had good stuff since the boys weren't home. Snickers bars for snacks, spagetti-o's for dinner, and muffins for desert. Yum! For both of us!
Here is one of my faves from our little shoot this morning. It was soooooo hot! The kids were over it in no time and so was Grandma and I!
And Delia is giving someone the stink eye here:

PADM 5345. Evaluation of International Programs and Projects
Current as of May 19, 2018
Master Schedule of Sessions and Assignments
The in-person sessions in Spring 2019 will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays in Martha van Rensselaer 153 from 13:25-14:40.
On-line participation will be available.
|Course Approach
The course examines results-based management of the programs and projects of international organizations, public and not-for-profit, with an emphasis on the evaluation aspect. To do this, it examines how results-based management concepts and evaluation theory can be applied at the international level, takes the student through the process of planning an evaluation, examines the main analytical techniques that are usually employed and, as a final step, undertakes critical examinations of evaluations of specific projects and programs made by the main organizations at the international level.
2015 was International Year of Evaluation!
|There will be a simulation of the planning of an evaluation in results-based management and exercises related to each of the main analytical techniques. At the Maxwell School of Syracuse University, in Spring 2011, the evaluation simulation was of the Internet Governance Forum. In Fall 2010 it was the evaluation of the Departmet of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nation. In 2009 it was a simulation of an evaluation of the Internet Governance Forum and of the current United Nations climate change institutions (the Global Environment Facility, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change's Clean Development Mechanism, UNEP and the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification.) For Fall 2011, it was the Gender Equity Programme of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. For Spring 2012, it was the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). For Spring 2013 at Cornell, the subject was two real evaluations, one of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification and the other of the Research Cooperation Program of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency. The subject for Spring 2014 and also for Spring 2016 was the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. In Spring 2015, it was UN Women. For 2019, it will be projects of the Green Climate Fund. In addition, as a final assignment, each student will design an evaluation of a program or project of her or his choice. The interactive part of the course takes place through a weekly live discussion session which is also available over the Internet. Each student is expected to participate in either the in-person or through the on-line faciltiy.
|Course Organization
|The interactive part of the course will be a live discussions on Monday and Wednesday at 13:25 in M Van Rensselaer Hall 153. Students are expected to participate in this each week. It is expected that a recording from session will be posted the day after the session for those who could not attend or for review by those who could. The lecture, readings and an audio or video presentation will sometimes be put up on the site by Tuesday of the week prior to the session. The on-line participation through Webex can be arranged and for that students should have access to a personal computer that has sound and if possible a microphone.
The course has one required text RealWorld Evaluation, Second Edition, by Michael Bamberger, Jim Rugh and Linda Mabry. Mike Bamberger was the chief sociologist for the World Bank for many years and Jim Rugh is head of evaluation for CARE. The book can also be a useful reference in the future. Other required readings will come from evaluation materials of international public and non-governmental organizations, that are mostly available over the Internet.
|Responses to Session Questions
|For each of the weekly sessions, there are a series of questions to be addressed. Students are expected to provide short, one-sentence answers to each of the questions and send them to the graduate assistant for the course, Yinyin Xu, who will assemble them on Sunday before class.
The first half of the course will include the simulation of planning and implementing an evaluation of an organization to be chosen.Participants will be part of an external evaluation firm hired to undertake the evaluation for the next meeting of the organization's board in April. There will be weekly discussions of progress with the Managing Director of the firm or his designated facilitator.
|Office Hours
Prof. Mathiason's office hours for Spring 2019 will be on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:15-11:30 in MvR 3M29. (even if coming during office hours it is better to schedule an appointment). The Professor can also hold office hours on request over Skype.
The course will involve a final paper, consisting of an evaluation design of an international program or project reflected in an inception report. Details on the assignment are found on the final paper page. The paper will be a detailed evaluation design written as Terms of Reference. Please note that a first draft must be submitted on time for comments. If that is not done, the grade is reduced.

The whole issue got commenced since of Lance Armstrong and the brilliant yellow band. Because then the trend has caught on and all of the leads to are acquiring on the bandwagon. The awesome factor is that now that the popularity has grown the firms that make these factors have started out to cater to the common public and started out generating very value efficient custom silicone wristbands in every single shade under the rainbow with any customized emblem or phrase embossed on it.
Neon socks and leg warmers – Call the attention down to the feet and legs. Leg warmers have been worn in nearly any sort of shoes. Sporting it with pumps was also a hit particularly when one particular was sporting colored leggings. These leggings have been primarily matched with puffball skirts.
Kids Tablets: Tablets for kids had been very first introduced a couple of many years back as an response to annoyed mother and father who don't want to have to share their iPad with their clumsy six 12 months outdated! The principal contender this year is certainly the LeapPad 2, and there are a couple of different versions available dependent on your spending budget. It's made to be super-durable and all the materials that comes incorporated is risk-free for youthful eyes. You may also want to verify out the somewhat more affordable Vtech InnoTab.
Pick 3 – Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are a youthful and rebuilding crew with a great deal of holes to fill. But, most draft boards have them selecting Aaron Curry, LB, from Wake Forest. He is the very best obtainable player on the board and they would make a wise choice to pick him here. He has all the talent, bodily resources, and drive that a team seems to be for in a defensive leader and he need to modify properly to the NFL game. He also is an exceptional player from a personnel standpoint as he is absolutely nothing if not a class act. No doubt that the Chiefs would be well on their way to legitimacy with this select.

When it comes to voicing your piano chords, sometimes less is more. When I was younger, I would be pleased with myself if I could add more and more notes to a chord. Now that I'm a wise old 37-year-old, I usually try to see how much I can get out of using the fewest notes possible.

Making Fluent Piano more adaptable
One of the things I like about the Fluent Piano video course is that it challenges those who have played keys for a while, yet it's still accessible to those with less experience. One of the requests I've received from users, though, has been for the ability to change speeds, especially with the exercises and the practice loops. I think I've found a good solution, using the Google Chrome … [Read more...]
Killing organists and future worship music
I just came from a meeting where I was singularly the face of the contemporary praise and worship movement. As a group of music folks from the community, we were discussing the possibility of a new part-time organ teaching position in town. Several of the group are current or former organists, many having served regularly in churches. Some expressed a desire to see the position be more than … [Read more...]

I hate text messaging. I think it's lame. Sorry! Neither Mark or I have text messaging service so we both get irritated with superfluous texts telling us about some killer stock we have to buy, or a mass text informing us of the next conspiracy in gas prices. Fortunately, our friends call us instead of texting, knowing our absolute loathing of the trendy technology.
I don't have a problem with the, what I will call, "private text," where you text someone briefly with a piece of important information as long as it doesn't interrupt the normal flow of the day. What I take issue with is what I'll call "conversational texting," where instead of speaking with the person on the phone, you're texting them back and forth, often in the presence of someone you're supposed to be having a conversation with. Seriously, this is right up there with listening to your iPod at the grocery store or talking on your cell at the dinner table.
Without much previous reflection on the matter, in my opinion texting should never be used to ask someone for a favor, to thank them for a favor done, or as an invitation to an event.
It's hard to believe that I graduated from college only three years ago and never had a cell phone or sent a single text. Times are a-changing.

While we were in the Service Center one day this week, we ran into Lavenia Fonua. She is one of the Public Relations people for the islands. We work with her a lot. She had a lady with her that we didn't know. When Lavenia introduced us her friend, the lady got this look on her face and then she asked Alan if he had served a mission in Tonga when he was a young man. When he said yes she got so excited and said, "You're the one!" Alan asked, "the one what?" She asked him if he remembered Sipa Saekona from his mission. Alan remembers him well. He was his favorite mission companion. This lady is related to Sipa and she told us about a young man in their family, Sipa's nephew, whose name is Webby. He was named after a palangi missionary who served in Tonga with Sipa. What are the chances of ever meeting this lady and of having her tell us that story. It was a tender mercy and what a thrill for Alan to know that there is a Tongan man out there somewhere, named after him. I loved it!!!
Sister Feahoko is a wonderful Tongan lady that makes beautiful Tongan crafts and jewelry. I had ask her to fix a cord for me so that I could wear my mother's wedding band on it as a necklace. I have almost lost it twice over here. Before I got back to her shop to pick it up a couple of the senior sister were in her shop looking at jewelry. They saw a necklace that they loved and one of them wanted to buy it. Sister Feahoko said that she had made it especially for me so she wouldn't sell it. When they told me how much they loved my necklace, I was confused because I knew I had not ordered it.
On Tuesday Alan went out the see President Feahoko, the Stake President who is Sister Feahoko's husband and while he was there I asked him to pick up the cord necklace for me. I hadn't told him about the other necklace because I really didn't know much about it. I gave him $10.00 to pay for the cord and off he went. When he got there Sister Feahoko asked if he had come for the necklace. He said yes and asked how much he owed her. She said, "one fifty". He handed her the $10.00 and waited for his change. She gave him the necklace and a funny look and then said, "It is one hundred and fifty." Alan about fainted. He was so embarrassed, he didn't have that much money with him. She explained to him that it was a necklace she had made especially for me from black coral. Black coral is very rare. It is only found deep on the ocean floor and now it is no more. It is found hundreds of feet below the surface and only scuba divers can get to it. Now it is forbidden to bring it up. This was the last black coral that she had. In the past she sold a necklace like the one she made for me for a lot more money, but she wanted me to have it at a good price. Alan was so shocked at the necklace and the price, that he forgot to ask about the cord that I sent him for. He promised to come back the next day and left.
I went with him to pick up the necklace. It is gorgeous! I asked Sister Feahoko if I had ordered the necklace and she just looked at me and said, "I made it especially for you." I guess I will never know how this all came about, but knowing my mother and my grandmother I wouldn't be surprised if there was some devine intervention. They both loved beautiful jewelry and this piece is certainly beautiful and unique. They probably thought that I had to have it. So somehow it happened. It may take Alan a little while to get over it. He doesn't usually give me jewelry but this is a perfect 40th wedding anniversary present. I really love it!

AnniPotts, books, Bounce, Food, home, houseguests, Johnnycakes, philosophy, Prof. Peat, reading, school, sleep, swing smackdown
Today during Prof. Peat's philosophy class, someone sent us a pizza, a small one with a thin crust and extra sauce. From Domino's. Really. It was kinda awesome. First there was the fun of watching the pizza guy wander around trying to find us, and then when he knocked on the door and discovered that none of us had ordered the pizza. He went away then for a while, only to come back again. A young lady in the lobby had signed for the pizza, he said, and instructed him to give it to us. So he did. Prof. Peat, rather flabbergasted at this turn of events (and isn't flabbergasted a good word?) took the pizza, removed a modest portion, then set it out in the middle of the room, where my fellow classmates descended on it like sharks on bleeding prey. I did not partake myself (I can't eat most kinds of cheese), so I watched from a safe distance and laughed and laughed.
Unfortunately, this means that I was too busy laughing to write down quotes, so you'll have to wait until next week for more Prof. Peat quotes. Sorry. I know that they are the only reason some of you read this blog at all (yeah, Johnnycakes, I'm lookin' at you), but you'll just have to find another reason for living for a little while.
In other news, I'm getting ready for company this weekend. I'm hosting people for the Smackdown. This is the first time I've hosted swing people. It looks like I have all the people coming in from Cleveland. Thankfully my house is still pretty much clean from the CL party I had last weekend. Now I just have to get laundry done, and, um, a lot of other things. This is at the same time as it seems like I might be getting sick again. Yesterday I did that sleep 'round the clock thing again. I came home from classes and fell asleep in my chair while working on the hat I'm making for Johnsy. That was about 4:30 yesterday afternoon. Sometime around 10 or 11 I woke up long enough to climb out of my chair and stumble into bed, but otherwise I didn't wake up until 7am this morning. Ironically, this is after a couple of nights when it took me a long time to get to sleep. I'm feeling some better today, so maybe that's what I needed. I hope so, anyway.
In other news, AnniPotts is safely home from Kenya! We had a family brunch on Sunday at which she gifted us with the amazing largess of beaded things, cloth, and jewelry she brought home with her. The waist beads and earrings are lovely indeed, but a safe AnniPotts is infinitely better!
In other, other news, Bounce just returned to me the box of science fiction books I lent him last May, so I'm getting reacquainted with half my science fiction library. It's like running into old friends you haven't thought about in a long time and thinking, "Oh, hey, I remember you! You're cool!"

It was reported to last week's NEC meeting that we are growing at an annualised rate of 1.63% which means that - given a turnover in excess of 10% we are recruiting 12% of our membership each year.
One in four of new applicants now join online, which means that the internet is now second only to national strike action in boosting our recruitment. (Could a strike-happy blogger feel any more vindicated??)
The Three Companies Project (about which the NEC is to receive a full report) has raised density on the ten contracts upon which it has focused from 21 to 55%. For privatised contracts these are impressive figures.
This good news needs to be set against the scale of the challenges which we face - but it does show we can build the Union to fight back even in the most challenging circumstances.

KLOL Program Director Jim Pruett a.k.a. Tony Raven had always been a gun guy. He owns a gun store in Houston now even as he still dabbles in Houston Radio. His dabbling in guns had some interesting consequences such as what happened below.
KLOL was located in the Rice Hotel. The Rice Hotel was the premier hotel in Houston in the early 1970s. Many celebreties and world notables stayed there or spoke at one of the many conventions that were held there.
While KLOL was at the Rice Hotel in downtown Houston, Tony decided it was the right time to add to his gun collection. So, he left the office one day to go buy a classic Winchester 94 rifle. He didn't return right away as he was supposed to. When he finally returned to the station offices, he told us that he had been detained by the U.S. Secret Service. He was bringing his rifle purchase back through the parking garage to the office to keep there until he went home. The problem was that Richard Nixon was in the hotel at the time giving a speech, and the presidential bodyguards didn't take kindly to anyone packing heat in the building while Nixon was there. They turned him loose when they determined that he didn't know that Nixon was in the building.

Falling Hard and Fast is a fun light-hearted story. The idea for the story came about in a kind of weird way. You see my daughter has this cat named Zombie that plays an important part in this story.
His name of course has been changed to protect the innocent.
He's an adorable, but huge cat (Maine coon). Zombie has his issues. To start with he thinks he's the ruler of our little kingdom. Being the only male cat we have may be why. The whole house is his territory with no room or area off limits including my desk.
His biggest flaw is he's a total affection whore. I mean that in the nicest possible way. I'll give you just a couple of examples of what I'm talking about. When you're walking through the house he will run in front of you a lay down at your feet. This means pick me up. Preferrably right away.
If you standing still talking to someone and you wiggle your fingers in front of you chest he will launch himself up into your arms. Cool trick right? There is a down side though, because he does this at times when you're not ready and believe me those claws of his are sharp. There have also been times when people have turned their backs on him. Bad idea! If you're cooking he has a tendancy to grab onto your pants and try to climb up and see what you're doing.

Teapot Inspired Hat Stand - MMTPT134
Hello everyone!! It's time for another Teapot Tuesday challenge. This week our inspiration photo looked like a fancy schmancy hat slapped down on a teapot. So, I pulled out a retired PSX image that I just love to use - a hat stand!
Once I had my image stamped twice on white card stock in memento tuxedo black ink, I pulled out my trusted prismacolor markers and got her colored up nice and bright. I cut one colored image out to pop up later and then layered the other one keeping with the black & white theme. Then I lightly stippled Stampin Up! barely banana dye ink around the sides of the image to help fill in all of the white space.
Pulling out my Dots & Circles cuttlebug embossing folder, I dry embossed a black layer before taking a pallet white canvas ink pad and rubbing it across the embossed images. For those that are not familiar with this technique, it's called direct to paper or DTP. To finish everything off, I added some polka dotted primas with a black brad in the center and some organdy ribbons on the side. The whole card took about 15 minutes to make.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great Tuesday!!
Stamps: PSX Hat Stand
Card Stock: White, Stampin Up! Black & Summer Sun
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Stampin Up! Barely Banana, Pallet White Canvas

On June 28, the final decision was made leaving most audience members present at the White Palace in HCM surprised. It turns out that our 2 highest contenders for this pageant: Miss Bikini Thanh Tuyen and Prince Charming Vinh Thuy only walked away as second best. The winners turned out to be Nguyen Thi Ngoc Bich and Do Nguyen Hoang Long. Ummmm……who and who?? o.O
Whispers and comments came almost immediately after the two MCs announced the winners of the Silver Prizes because Vinh Thuy and Thanh Tuyen have always been the most outstanding faces of the contest.
"I don't know what criterion the jury and the organizing board applied, but it was clear that their decision was contrary to the majority's opinions. It is very regrettable for Thanh Tuyen and Vinh Thuy," said a viewer.
Even singer & former supermodel Ho Ngoc Ha agreed: "In my opinion, Vinh Thuy and Thanh Tuyen were the best."
Praised by many fans and experts, Thanh Tuyen looked not very sad when she said: "I'm very happy to be warmly supported by my relatives, my friends and the audience tonight. That's the noblest award!"
Besides the Silver Prize, Thanh Tuyen also received the Audience's Choice Award.
The Vietnam Supermodel Award 2009 will close on June 30 with a gala in HCM City.
The winners of Vietnam Supermodel Awards 2009:
Bronze Awards: Nguyen Thi Kim Dung, Trinh Dan Duy Anh
Fourth Prize: Nguyen Quang Huan, Nguyen Thai Ha, Nguyen Tran Vinh and Nguyen Ngoc Lan Huong
Audience's Choice Award: Huynh Thanh Tuyen, Trinh Dan Duy Anh
