BWW TV Exclusive: Eric Michael Gillett Plays 54 Below- Concert Highlights!
In "Careless Rhapsody," award-winning vocalist, director and Broadway actor (The Frogs, Sweet Smell of Success, and Kiss Me, Kate) Eric Michael Gillett uses the wit and wisdom of Lorenz Hart to remind us all that, though love can be be experienced with abandon, to be careless with the heart can also have a price. George Balanchine called Lorenz Hart the "Shelley of America" and, it's true, his lyric writing ranks with the greatest romantic poetry of all time. Though he, himself, was unlucky in love, his writing casts a spell that will always survive the test of time, inspiring generations of lovers to come to follow their hearts.
His 54 Below show continues February 7 at 9:30pm and February 26 & 27 at 7pm and you can check out exclusive concert highlights below!
Eric has been seen on Broadway in the original casts of Kiss Me Kate, The Sweet Smell of Success, and The Frogs. New York audiences have seen him in the role of "Papa" Denny in Dream a Little Dream at the Village Theatre, and in the New York City Opera productions of Cinderella, The Pirates of Penzance, and Candide.
His films include Maid in Manhattan, The Producers, The Third Testament, the upcoming Out of Order, and on television he has appeared in multiple episodes of Law and Order, Law and Order SVU, Ed, Good God and many others.
Eric Michael sang the role of the Father to Patti LuPone's Anna in the New York City Ballet production of Seven Deadly Sins at Lincoln Center.

Clearing up Fukushima
Issued on: Modified:
Fukushima was the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl. Who would still want to work at the plant? And yet, thousands of people go there every day to work at cleaning away the radioactive debris and trying to secure the site. France 24 went to meet these workers who are ready to risk their lives to save Japan.
In the small world of Tokyo-based journalists, we knew that it would be difficult to meet the workers of Fukushima. Some could maybe talk to us, but only off-camera. Tepco, the operator of the stricken plant, was the first to disappoint us by refusing each of our requests. And no wonder: Tepco and its subcontractors strictly forbid the workers from speaking to the media.
Luckily, a Japanese woman who ended up becoming our interpreter managed to break the deadlock. A Christian, she worked as a volunteer with victims of the tsunami in Iwaki, a workers' dormitory town located 40 km south of the Fukushima plant. Through a religious centre, she knew a worker who agreed to meet us. His name is Yukio and he is a colourful personality who wants to set the story straight about the plant's workers. "Yes, it is hard work. But no, we are not slaves", is his basic message.
The rest is all about luck…and blagging. We go straight to "J-Village", the workers' headquarters, located on the threshold of the 20 km-wide "forbidden zone" around the plant. We are not allowed to be there. Most of the workers know it and only give us a wary hello. But some of them agree to say a few words to us.

Nagoya, Japan, November 10, 2010 – Cuba outlasted Italy in five sets (16-25, 26-24, 25-21, 25-23, 24-22) in a thrilling finale to second-round Pool F play at the FIVB Women's World Championship at Nippon Gaishi Hall on Wednesday night. Kenia Carcaces stole the show for Cuba, carrying her team to victory in a dramatic final set. She scored 10 points in the tie-breaker and finished the match with 34 points, all but three of them with attacks. Rachel Sanchez added 20 points including five blocks and two aces while Rosanna Giel totalled 16 points, with seven blocks.FIVB Women's World Championship Japan 2010 official page
The fourth-ranked Italians needed victory for a chance to make the top four but spurned match points in the tie-breaker and instead must settle for a spot in the 5-8 semifinals. Francesca Piccinini and Serena Ortolani anchored their offence with 24 and 23 points respectively. This was the 25th meeting between the countries and Cuba now hold an 18-7 lead.Italy held a 16-11 lead at the Second Technical Timeout (STT) in the first set, then went 21-14 ahead through a nice option-play spike by Valentina Arrighetti. It was no surprise when they finished off the set 25-16 on a soaring spike by Piccinini, who had already totalled nine points.The second set was more closely contested. With the teams tied 13-13, Italy gained a two-point lead before Cuba restored parity with a spike and block by Ana Lidia Cleger. Italy, with some excellent tactical serving, were giving Cuba a defensive headache and when Yoana Palacios served into the net, the Europeans stood two points from the set at 23-20. Italy were rebuffed on two set-points, however, and Cuba turned the tables to take the set 26-24 when a spike went long. Carcaces delivered a powerful spike to pull Cuba up 9-8 in the third set, but later misplaced another as Italy gained the advantage at 12-9. However, Cuba then scored five straight points to take a 14-9 lead. Italy responded and went ahead 19-18 on a nifty tip by Eleonora Lo Bianco and Massimo Barbolini's team went on to take the set 25-21 on a nice block by Piccinini.The fourth set was tight all the way, as both sides pressed to gain the upper hand. Cuba led 13-10, before another spike by Piccinini and a bad serve cut it to 13-12. At the STT Juan Carlos Gala's charges were 16-14 in front and they would have been farther ahead if not for some poor serves. Italy were trying hard to finish off the Cubans, tying the score when Palacios smashed the ball into the net while attempting a spike. However, it was Cuba who claimed the set through an ace by Sanchez.A spike by Sanchez evened the score at 6-6 in the deciding set. Arrighetti served an ace to make it 9-9 and another Piccinini spike made it 13-11 to Italy before Carcaces responded with a vicious blast of her own. Italy failed to convert their first match point at 14-13 and by now Cuba were feeding Carcaces at almost every point. Although Ortolani's spike made it 15-14, Cuba levelled again and then took a 17-16 edge only to see Italy respond. Back and forth it went until Cuba finally seized victory on a quick spike by Giel.

Grass was previously thought to have become common only after the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago.
But grasses were probably not a very important part of dinosaur diets - the fossilised faeces show the big beasts ate many different types of plants.
However, the Science journal study suggests grass was possibly an important food for early mammals.
Caroline Strömberg from the Swedish Museum of Natural History and her colleagues studied phytoliths (mineral particles produced by grass and other plants) preserved in fossil dinosaur dung from central India.
Theory dumped
The 65-67 million-year-old dung fossils, or coprolites, are thought to have been made by so-called titanosaur sauropods; large, vegetarian dinosaurs.
The study also sheds new light on the evolution of grass. Grasses are thought to have undergone a major diversification and geographic proliferation during the so-called Cenozoic, after the dinosaurs had gone extinct.
But the researchers found at least five different types of grass in the droppings.
This suggests grasses had already undergone substantial diversification in the Late Cretaceous, when the giant beasts still walked the Earth.
Defence mechanism
Many grasses today contain high levels of silica, which makes them tough and hard to chew. One theory proposes that this is an evolutionary defence against being eaten by herbivores.
This defence is traditionally thought to have been a response to large-scale grazing by mammals in the Cenozoic. But, if the theory is correct, it raises the possibility that grasses first began developing this defence in response to grazing by dinosaurs.
However, small mammals living alongside the dinosaurs may also have been grass feeders.
An enigmatic group of extinct mammals known as sudamericid gondwanatherians, which lived during the Late Cretaceous, show possible signs of adaptation to a grassy diet.
Their teeth are ideally suited for handling abrasive materials like grass. But because of grass's patchy presence in the fossil record, these features were interpreted as an adaptation to a semi-aquatic, or burrowing, lifestyle like that of modern beavers.

The sad destiny of countless great photographs is that, as the decades pass, the pictures are increasingly in danger of losing their ability to stun, shock, inspire, delight. In short, to move us. We've seen them reproduced so many times—in books, on postcards, in gallery and museum shows—that the images can sometimes assume that most staid and harmless of traits: they become familiar.
And when has the familiar stunned, shocked, inspired or delighted anyone?
It's worthwhile, then, to occasionally make the effort to step back and try to experience famous photographs as if encountering them for the first time. The question then becomes: Are we capable of seeing—really seeing, with wholly fresh eyes—the most celebrated, readily identifiable pictures ever made?
Take the photograph featured here. Most of us have come upon it many, many times throughout our lives. But when was the last time any of us really saw it? Like so many of Alfred Eisenstaedt's most storied photographs, this one flirts with sentimentality—but avoids that ignoble fate by virtue of its energy, and its immediacy. This is not a depiction of manufactured emotion, but a masterfully framed instant of authentic, explosive spirit.
As the editor, writer, poet and former director of photography for LIFE, David Friend, once noted, this picture is Eisenstaedt's "ode to joy."
"It was early in the morning," Eisenstaedt himself recalled of the fall day in 1950 when he took the photo. On assignment for LIFE, covering the University of Michigan's nationally famous marching band, he spotted the school's drum major practicing his craft. Then, Eisenstaedt said, "I saw a little boy running after him, and all the faculty children on the playing field ran after the boy. And I ran after them. This is a completely spontaneous, unstaged picture."
It is also, all these years later, one of the great photographer's most beloved pictures. (When Bill Clinton was offered any Eisenstaedt print as thanks for a sitting he and his wife and daughter granted the then-94-year-old photographer on Martha's Vineyard in 1993, the president reportedly chose this one.)
So. Is this the happiest photograph ever made? That's hardly a fair question, of course—and, admittedly, more than a little bit vague. After all, by "happiest," do we mean the one picture that most perfectly depicts happiness? Do we mean the one picture that elicits or evokes happiness in the viewer? And what do we really mean by "happiness," anyway?
All perfectly reasonable questions. And all largely unanswerable. The point here is that Eisenstaedt's image of the high-stepping, high-spirited drum major—a fellow named Dick Smith—and his ebullient devotees could, conceivably, be a consensus pick among photography experts as the happiest photo ever made. It's unlikely, but it is conceivable.
Which brings us back to where we started; namely, trying to see an iconic picture afresh, as if encountering it for the very first time. One need not be a photography expert to sense, in Eisenstaedt's picture, the essence of what most people would recognize as happiness.
One only has to see, and to feel. The photo will do the rest.

When the weather is nice, it is fun-and healthy-to stretch the legs and enjoy time outside. With the official start of summer on June 21, outdoor activities-baseball games, cookouts, and more-are in full swing. While it's good that we get fresh air and sunshine, make sure all family members are aware of potential hazards to keep outdoor fun safe.
When the weather is nice, it is fun-and healthy-to stretch the legs and enjoy time outside. With the official start of summer on June 21, outdoor activities-baseball games, cookouts, and more-are in full swing. While it's good that we get fresh air and sunshine, make sure all family members are aware of potential hazards to keep outdoor fun safe.
"Make sure your family has a talk about staying safe. This includes safety during storms and safety around power lines and other electrical equipment-including pad mounted transformers, those green metal boxes that contain the above ground portion of an underground electrical installation," says Molly Hall, executive director of the Safe Electricity program. "These cabinets carry high voltages and are safe when locked, but they can be deadly if someone reaches inside. If you see one in your neighborhood that is open, call authorities and your utility immediately."
Safe Electricity has additional outdoor safety tips to make sure your family is aware of:
Keep yourself, as well as items such as ladders or long poles, at least 10 feet away from power lines in all directions, at all times.
If electric wires in your neighborhood have sagged for some reason or a tree limb has pushed the line out of place, keep your neighborhood safe by alerting your electric utility.
Never enter an electrical substation for any reason. If a ball or other item enters the fence, call your utility for help. Additionally, use caution near solar panels and wind turbines.
Do not fly kites or model planes near overhead power lines or electrical substations. A kite string can conduct electricity from an overhead power line to the person on the ground.
Never climb trees near power lines. They could be conductors of electricity if branches touch the wires. Even if branches are not touching power lines, they could when someone's weight is added.
Storm fronts can move rapidly, and lightning is a potential danger 10 miles in advance of a storm. The rule of thumb from the National Weather Service is, "when thunder roars, go indoors."
With so many outdoor activities happening during summer months, it's essential to plan ahead so that you don't get caught outside in a storm. Hall explains, "There is no safe place from lightning when you are outside. To be as safe as possible you must seek shelter indoors or in an enclosed metal topped vehicle when there is a thunderstorm in the area."
Dr. Che Miller knows this all too well. He echoes the warning, "When thunder roars, go indoors." A survivor of two lightning strikes, his experiences happened while he was a child. Each left him with little memory of the incident but, fortunately, no serious long-term effects. He knows most people are not nearly as lucky when struck by lightning. "Stay inside during a storm, and make sure it is well past the area before going back outside," he advises.
After a storm, wait until 30 minutes has passed without lightning or thunder before you return outside. If a person is struck by lightning, call 911 and care for the victim immediately. You are not in danger of being electrocuted by the victim.
Help ensure your family's summer is a safe one. Visit SafeElectricity.org to find more information on accident prevention and safety education to keep you and your loved ones safe.

SOCHI, Russia — The Russians dutifully shook the Finns' hands and then skated to the center of a rink built to showcase their return to hockey dominance. When they raised their sticks in a mournful salute, they got more whistles than cheers from their devastated fans.
Alex Ovechkin, Pavel Datsyuk and their teammates had nursed dreams about this week for several years.
They were all dashed in 60 frustrating minutes.
Russia crashed out of the Olympics in the quarterfinals Wednesday with a 3-1 loss to Finland, extending a historic hockey nation's gold-medal drought past 22 years and putting an enormous damper on the final days of the Sochi Games.
"Inside, I'm absolutely empty," Datsyuk said through a translator.
Teemu Selanne scored an early goal and Tuukka Rask made 37 saves as Finland crushed the Russians' plans to win hockey gold in front of their own fans for the first time. Russian teams have won eight gold medals in hockey, but none since the Unified Team's victory in 1992.
Ovechkin, Datsyuk and Evgeni Malkin all hailed Russia's home Olympics as the most important tournament of their careers. They'll likely have only bitter memories after losses to the United States and Finland, which left Russia out of the medals entirely for the third straight games.
Despite its roster of high-priced offensive stars, Russia couldn't score in the final 52 minutes after Ilya Kovalchuk's early power-play goal.
"To be honest, I'm a little bit sad, also, for them," said Selanne, a six-time Olympian. "Obviously, they had a big dream to win the gold medal here, and then it doesn't work, so it's kind of disappointing in many ways, because that would be a great story. But again, it's proving to the hockey world that you never know."
A quarterfinal exit is excruciating for the proud Russian team, which pressed relentlessly and fruitlessly in the scoreless third period. After the final buzzer, several Russian players stood on the ice with their hands on their knees, while Malkin dropped to one knee.
Ovechkin, the reigning NHL MVP and one of the Sochi Games' most public faces, failed to score another goal for Russia after scoring on his first shot just 1:17 into Russia's opener against Slovenia. Malkin, the Russians' other former NHL MVP, also didn't score a goal after the first 3:54 of the opener.
"We had a good start, score (on the) power play, feel pretty good," Ovechkin said. "Few mistakes cost us the game. We tried to score another one, but we didn't score. ... No emotion right now."
Selanne and Mikael Granlund each had a goal and an assist for the steady Finns, who overcame an early deficit and silenced the Bolshoy Ice Dome with two goals in the first period. Finland will face top-seeded Sweden in the semifinals on Friday.
Russia didn't play horribly in Sochi, winning three of its five games, but lost a painful eight-round shootout to the U.S. team before falling behind early and failing to catch up against steady Finland. The game was Russia's fourth in five days, thanks to a qualification-round game Tuesday, while Finland had the last two days off.
Semyon Varlamov allowed all three goals on 15 shots against the Finns before getting pulled for Sergei Bobrovsky during the second period.
"It's not necessary to say that the goalkeeper played bad," Russian defenseman Anton Belov. "It was mistakes by the defense and team."
This Russian loss was the furthest thing from a Miracle on Ice. Juhamatti Aaltonen scored the first goal for Finland, the most consistent Olympic team in the last two decades with medals in four of the past five games.
Russian fans realized the importance and peril of this game, filling the Olympic park early in the afternoon with cheers, chants and Russian flags. The Bolshoy crowd began chanting "Ro-ssi-ya!" even before pregame warm-ups, waving hundreds of flags and banners emblazoned with hometowns and slogans.
The tone was uncommonly intense from the opening faceoff. After Granlund took an early holding penalty, Datsyuk fed Kovalchuk for a hard shot over Rask's shoulder. Kovalchuk popped the water bottle off the top of Finland's net and celebrated with a two-footed leap into the air amid ecstatic cheers.
But moments later, Aaltonen made a beautiful move along the goal line, putting a shot under Varlamov's glove arm for the KHL forward's first goal in Sochi.
Bolshoy got quiet, and it became positively funeral-like late in the period when Granlund moved up the boards, broke past two defensemen and fed Selanne for the Finn captain's Olympic-record 22nd goal.
Finland scored again on the power play early in the second, with Granlund collecting Selanne's rebound and sliding in a backhand from a sharp angle.
Russia put together an impressive offensive stretch after Bobrovsky came on, with Rask forced to make a big save on Alexander Semin's breakaway. The Russians continued to press in the third period, outshooting Finland 14-5, but Rask made big saves when his teammates didn't block Russia's shots.
Dozens of fans lingered in their seats long after the team left the ice, disconsolately folding their flags and staring at the ice. A few Finnish fans near center ice even went up to a group of Russian fans for a hug.

Beautiful...oh, the colors!
"The new moon is always a still point and a good time to indicate change. Just make sure it is something you are fully 100% behind as this new moon comes with the force of the eclipse and the surge of energy associated with planets going direct. Anything you decide will be supported fully, so choose wisely."

Our big building means big work. The space is over 13 times the size of our original place on the island, so there�s a lot more opportunity for dirt to find a place to settle. And sea turtles don�t particularly care where all that water goes when they splash around in their tanks. So after spending all morning tending to our current load of ever-increasing patients we pull out the buckets, mops and cloths to scrub and polish. It�s a lot of area, and with the average age of our permanent staff being somewhere between 65 and 75 we�re just not as zippy as we used to be.
Our big building means big work. The space is over 13 times the size of our original place on the island, so there�s a lot more opportunity for dirt to find a place to settle. And sea turtles don�t particularly care where all that water goes when they splash around in their tanks. So after spending all morning tending to our current load of ever-increasing patients we pull out the buckets, mops and cloths to scrub and polish. It�s a lot of area, and with the average age of our permanent staff being somewhere between 65 and 75 we�re just not as zippy as we used to be.
So when Tracy Wangui, one of our 2013 interns offered to bring a group of students from UNCG�s Office of Leadership & Service Learning Program here for a week we jumped at the prospect. In fact, Tracy came to our hospital through this same program prior to signing on as a summer intern. Participants refocus their time off from classes to explore their passions and possible career interests. The intent is to prepare them for life as an �active citizen� involved in all aspects of their community, including a commitment to social and environmental causes. And they were sure committed to doing whatever we asked them to!
After helping with the fun stuff involving human-turtle interaction (feeding, scooping, cleaning tanks, bathing) we redirected their considerable, youthful energy to more mundane but necessary tasks. It doesn�t take but overnight for everything in the main rehab room, Sea Turtle Bay, to develop a coating of salt. One crew began mopping the walls to �de-crust� us. Another crew scoured every inch of the observation railing, which now shines like the day that it was installed. Windows and doors were cleaned, and our stainless kitchen components were scrubbed, polished and waxed (ironically with �Turtle Wax,� which for the record is NOT what we use on our turtles!) All the floors were swept and mopped, and despite the unique fragrance of sea turtles the place smelled really good. They also transported a lot of stuff to and from the intern house, and made large deposits at the local recycle center.
Speaking with them I found that they were not sure what to expect other than they were going to be �working with the turtles.� Once I handed them mops, bucket and rags they came to realize that running a sea turtle hospital means dealing with the whole package; it�s not all fun and turtle time. But they did it with a smile, and every day they came back wanting to do more. Thank you, Tracy, for putting together a great group of �elves� who busted their carapaces to make our building sparkle � and who gave our staff a break.
Public tours on hold
Jan. 4 was the last date for public tours for the immediate future as we devote January to training winter semester UNCW interns. They work on Saturday, giving our permanent staff a much appreciated weekend day off.
On Jan. 25 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. we are hosting local organizations from the towns Holly Ridge, Topsail Beach, North Topsail Beach and Surf City that have been so instrumental in getting us where we are today. Fire, police and rescue, members of all town hall staffs and elected officials (and members of their immediate families) can tour the hospital free of charge. It�s our chance to show our appreciation to all the towns and their staffs who have supported us over the years. Watch this column and our Facebook page for possible, additional opportunities for public tours over the next months.
Here they come
We admitted another nine (as of this writing) cold-stunned turtles of various species, sizes and conditions. The vast majority of them recover, some sooner than others. Because all new admits must be kept quarantined in Sea Turtle Sick Bay for 60 days before either moving into the �big room� (or catching a ride on a ship headed for the Gulf Stream) all that glorious space we thought we had is now getting a bit crowded. Sea turtles are cold-blooded and cannot regulate their body temperature. That�s why a cold-stunned turtle can sometimes appear to be dead � it�s literally unable to move its flippers, head and often even close its eyes. You can help us by removing the turtle from the beach or water and placing it in an unheated area such as your garage, car or utility room. Do not try to warm it up! That could cause the turtle to go into shock. The NC state hotline for any stranding is: 252-241-7367 and the call will be picked up 24/7. Locally, if you come across any turtle in distress you can text or phone our director, Jean Beasley, at 910-470-2800 or our beach director, Terry Meyer, at 910-470-2880. Please report any and all local sea turtle activity (strandings, injured or sick turtles) immediately to Jean or Terry.
Questions, comments, suggestions
Please direct any questions, comments or suggestions re: this column to me at: email@example.com. This column is in the off-season schedule of publication of every other week. To be added to the newsletter list e-mail me at the same address: email@example.com. I�m working on the next edition, but there�s so much to talk about that it�s tough knowing what to include. And Jean continues to work on her �Director�s Message� for the issue. We humbly ask for your patience while we try to get it together. If your email address has recently changed please send me your new one so I can update my master list.
Karen Sota is the volunteer media coordinator for the Sea Turtle Hospital in Topsail Beach.

Watch TV Shows Online
Your life might not always align with what you want the TV series broadcaster's schedule to be. A meeting goes late in to the night or the kids have a big game that you cannot miss. But then, there is a show you really, really want to watch. So what is a person supposed to do?
Watch TV through Yidio.com. Don't miss out on your favorite shows simply because you have a life. Watch the shows when it is convenient for you around the events in your life, from the computer or streaming through your smart TV. It's never been simpler to catch up on your favorite show or discover a new one on the site.
Finding a TV series to watch can be done in one of several ways. The shows are categorized by genre; you can search alphabetically or find it by the network it normally airs on.
By Genre
There are over three dozen different categories where TV shows are listed. Browse through the categories and find a new show that captures your interest or zero in on a specific genre you like watching.
The shows are listed alphabetically, no matter what channel they might be on. There is also a spot where you can choose ALL where the most popular shows will be displayed first, then the rest of the shows are in alpha order.
By Channel
If there is a popular show you like to watch, you will probably know what channel airs it. Shows are also listed by the channel they normally play on so you can quickly click the title and begin streaming through your chosen service.
The TV shows available through the service include some of the hottest, newest shows available to watch. There are also classics from decades ago, popular cartoons, biographies and shows that will appeal to everyone in your family.
After you have clicked on a show title you can find out more information on its page. The description of the show, the actors, the genre and ratings are listed. It also states when the show airs or when it will be available to see again and on what channel airs the show.
Once you have landed on your show, it will stream through your computer via Amazon, iTunes, Netflix, or Hulu. Choose the service that you want to display your show, or log in if you have a membership to one of the sites and your private, non-commercial version of the show will appear. Watch TV faster, without interruption when you have the time and not when the broadcasters want to air your show.

Why Is My Blood Glucose Sometimes Low after Physical Activity?
Low blood glucose is defined as a blood glucose level below 70 mg/dl if your meter measures whole blood, or 80 mg/dl or below if it measures plasma glucose (a plasma blood glucose of 90 mg/dl or below with symptoms is also a sign of hypoglycemia).
One of the most common causes of low blood glucose is too much physical activity. In fact, moderate to intense exercise may cause your blood glucose to drop for the next 24 hours following exercise. This post-exercise hypoglycemia is often referred to as the "lag effect" of exercise.
Basically, when you exercise, the body uses two sources of fuel, sugar and free fatty acids (that is, fat) to generate energy. The sugar comes from the blood, the liver and the muscles. The sugar is stored in the liver and muscle in a form called glycogen. During the first 15 minutes of exercise, most of the sugar for fuel comes from either the blood stream or the muscle glycogen, which is converted back to sugar. After 15 minutes of exercise, however, the fuel starts to come more from the glycogen stored in the liver. After 30 minutes of exercise, the body begins to get more of its energy from the free fatty acids. As a result, exercise can deplete sugar levels and glycogen stores.
The body will replace these glycogen stores but this process may take 4 to 6 hours, even 12 to 24 hours with more intense activity. During this rebuilding of glycogen stores, a person with diabetes can be at higher risk for hypoglycemia. Here are tips for safe exercising.
Guidelines for preventing exercise related hypoglycemia
- Check your blood glucose before exercising to make sure your blood glucose is sufficient and/or consume an appropriate snack.
- Avoid exercise at the peak of your insulin action.
- Avoid late evening exercise. Exercise should be completed 2 hours before bedtime.
- Avoid alcohol consumption prior to or immediately after exercise.
- Avoid hot tubs, saunas and steam rooms directly after exercise. These continue to maintain an increased heart rate and may continue to lower your blood glucose.
- Limit your exercise sessions to 1 or 2 per day. Additional sessions increase the likelihood of hypoglycemia.
- In the past, it was believed that injecting insulin into exercising muscle increased absorption of the insulin resulting in hypoglycemia; now it is believed that the timing and action of the insulin are more likely to be the key factors.
- Check your blood glucose immediately after exercise to prevent low blood glucose from occurring hours after exercise. It may also be necessary to check your blood glucose more often for 2 to 4 hours after exercise. Moderate intense exercise may cause your blood glucose to drop for the next 24 hours following exercise
If blood glucose is less than 100 mg/dl immediately after exercise
- Follow post-exercise snack guidelines. If you are not scheduled for a snack or a meal for 30-60 minutes after exercise, 15 grams of carbohydrate should be sufficient to prevent a low blood glucose. If no meal or snack is scheduled for more than one hour, take 15 grams of carbohydrate and 7-8 grams of protein.
- Increase carbohydrates before exercise.
- Decrease the dose of active insulin for the next exercise session.
- Consider decreasing the insulin dosage following exercise.
- If your blood glucose at bedtime is still less than 100 mg/dl, double your bedtime snack, or if possible, decrease your insulin dose acting during bedtime.
Guidelines for unplanned exercise
Sometimes exercise or physical exertion occurs spontaneously or is unplanned. You may need extra food at these times in order to maintain the balance between your insulin or oral medication and the energy needed to exercise. A number of factors will determine if you need food and how much food is necessary.
- Snacks may be necessary for exercise beginning 2 hours or more after your last meal.
- Snacks may be needed for exercise lasting 1 hour or more.
- Long duration or all-day activities may require both a snack adjustment and an insulin adjustment.
- If you are attempting to lose weight, adjust your insulin or medication rather than eating extra food.
Be sure to talk to your diabetes educator for more information about how exercise will work best with your diabetes.

Ever since Mitt Romney's career at Bain Capital became an issue in this Presidential race, the debate about whether or not private equity firms should be taxed at a 15% rate for carried interest income has become an issue as well.
The question went quiet for a while, but it resurfaced when Mitt Romney made an appearance on CNBCs Squawk Box this morning.
Host Joe Kernan asked Romney what he would do about the carried interest tax rate, since it effects private equity (one of the country's "bright spots") so much.
Romney's response was probably not what his former colleagues in the industry wanted to hear.
He said it's not up to Congress or the Administration to decide what is carried interest income or what is a capital gain (huh?).
The question is, he pointed out, the risk of loss. If there's no risk, it should be taxed as ordinary income, simple as that.
"I think you have to look at each dimension of our income streams and ask if this is a true capital gain or carried income. And you look to either the Courts or the IRS to and look at the various structures and investment vehicles and say 'gosh is this a true capital investment with the risk of loss or is it instead ordinary income with no particular risk of loss.If it's ordinary income you should treat it as ordinary income and if it's capital gain you should treat it as capital gain. I don't believe that it's Congress' job or the Administration's job to say 'hey these people are making to much money lets change their tax rate to make them less able to be financially successful.' I think you do however need to apply the code in a way that's consistent across the board.
From the sounds of it, Romney doesn't want to make this decision at all. But if he really had to, he might make a lot of industry people upset.

"The University is a community of scholars that has as its primary purpose to unsettle the minds of students, to widen their horizons, to inflame their intellect..."
— Dr. Robert Maynard Hutchins, American educational philosopher
"I cannot stress how thankful I am to have taken part in Hutchins...I came into Sonoma as a closed-minded and shy student, and I left Sonoma as an empowered woman ready to debate, defend, and take on the world. I owe this all to you."
—Taylor Terhune, Hutchins graduate
The Hutchins School of Liberal Studies is an interdisciplinary school within Sonoma State University providing Freshmen and Sophomore students an alternative General Education program, and Junior and Senior students a major in Liberal Studies leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree. The Hutchins School also offers the four year-long Blended Program, which leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree as well as a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. A minor in Integrative Studies is an additional option for students pursuing majors in other areas of study.
As a nationally recognized leader in the movement for reform in higher education, the Hutchins School has maintained its commitment to innovative pedagogy and interdisciplinary inquiry since its inception in 1969. The Hutchins School emphasizes:
- Learning to learn: Acquiring skills, habits, and insights that will foster enduring intellectual curiosity
- Seminar learning: Students conduct round-table discussions with classmates and instructors on assigned readings, films, and lectures
- Small classes: Twelve to fifteen students generally constitute a typical seminar class, in addition to a Hutchins School professor
- An interdisciplinary approach: Courses combine the varied subject matter and methods of the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences
Whatever a student's goals may be, Hutchins students learn to read perceptively, think critically, and express thoughts in speech, writing and other media. The Hutchins School is designed to encourage students to take themselves seriously as readers, writers, and thinkers capable of continuing a lifelong educational process. Most importantly, a Hutchins education helps students to clarify values which are crucial to their personal, social, and professional lives.

"Call 911. I'm dying."
Those are the words a man shouted across a parking lot on French Street on Wednesday afternoon.
A Masonic lodge, the Lancaster County Clemson Extension office, the Lancaster County Economic Development office, Discovery School and houses surround the parking lot.
A witness, who asked not to be named, said she thought she heard a car backfire.
"Then it went boom, boom, boom, boom, boom and I said, 'That's not a car,' " the woman said.

There's something special about your first day on the snow every season, whether you are riding skis or snowboards, whether it's at your local hill or somewhere unique, or whenever it falls on the calendar.
Most of my 40 season openers have been at Mammoth, my home mountain and the location of some of my favorite ski memories.
But this year, Day One on the slopes was at Arizona SnowBowl, a neighborhood ski area in the mountains outside of Flagstaff, Ariz. It's an area that does not get a lot of national press, but it proudly brags about being where most of Arizona learns to ski. Son Randy Cox discovered the mountain while attending Northern Arizona University and is currently putting his degree to work teaching skiing at SnowBowl.
The day after Thanksgiving was one of the earliest openings in history for SnowBowl, primarily because they had been tied to nature's whims in the past and cleared all hurdles to install snowmaking in the last year. So on a combination of natural and manmade snow, a couple of thousand skiers and boarders enjoyed White Friday at SnowBowl last week.
Only two of the four chairlifts were in operation, and the terrain was limited to intermediate and beginner slopes. But it was the first day of the season and it was the day after Thanksgiving, and we weren't fighting the crowds at Walmart or the other major chain retail stores. It was a festive day and the mood among employees and skiers was positive. There was no champagne toast or video marking the first chair up the hill, but the smiles abounded.
SnowBowl is located at about 9,000 feet elevation (similar to Mammoth's Main Lodge) and skiers can ascend to a peak of about 11,500, when everything is operational. It has remained family owned and operated for many years and the feel is natural.
They are also a member of the Powder Alliance, a group of 12 ski areas where your season pass from one resort gets you three free days at each of the other 11. Mountain High is also a member of Powder Alliance.
Regular daily adult tickets are $59, at least $30 less than at the major locations on the skiing map. And if you combine a trip with a visit to the Grand Canyon, or other Arizona destinations, it starts to make sense.
Early start
While pulling on boots and making turns on the snow marked the beginning of my season, thousands of other Southern California skiers have already had their opening days at Mammoth Mountain in the High Sierra or Mountain High in the local mountains.
Although major storms have blanketed the northwest so far this season, Mammoth has been limited to terrain covered with snowmaking. That includes five chairs (1,2,3,6 and 11) and the lower and upper gondola. Mammoth was pounded with more than 100 inches of snow last December and hopes that a similar change in the weather will mark a strong holiday season.
Mountain High was proud to once again open earliest among the Southern California resorts, using an extensive snowmaking system to augment a 12-inch storm. But post-Thanksgiving weather (rain, then heat) took its toll on the coverage and the ski area closed for an expected four-day break to rebuild the snow pack before reopening today (Thursday).
Time to Ski Dazzle
While nothing beats starting the season on the hill, a close second and a traditional kickoff for many is a visit to Ski Dazzle at the L.A. Convention Center. This consumer show has always been one of the ways skiers and boarders get their heads into the winter season. Hundreds of exhibitors offer products, services, and dreams to get you thinking about the sport.
Walk down one aisle and let your mind wander on a trip to the Canadian Rockies. Or make a left turn and head into the territory of ski and boot manufacturers, or ski shop retailers, and look at the new gear you just have to have.
A perennial favorite is the moving slope where kids can try skiing under the tutelage of Bear Mountain instructors. Everything from the real to the virtual (imagine skiing down the Sochi Olympics Downhill course) provide reasons to visit Ski Dazzle. There is also the ski swap where you can pick up equipment and clothing at bargain rates — a favorite of many families over the years.
The annual trade show is open today from 4 to 11 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m.
Visit Skidazzle.com for ticket and show information.

So glad I'm not the only one with the supermarket issue. Thank god for Coles Online.
Laughing at the washing because I had visitors over during the week who were admiring my laundry baskets all lined up along lounge room floor, each basket is labelled with persons name, each basket is overflowing with washing. I figure if I put it in the basket with the girls name on it, they can at least find their own clothing rather than rooting through the whole of mount to be folded. Still doesn't get folded more than once a week though.

im sure the last episode of series 11 had already een shown. why is this? i think my family is funny iv enjoyed watching it and will miss the laughs.
Sammy 10:27pm Sat 3 Sep Report Abuse
very poor ending
I guess it was cancelled before the last series aired, so they couldn't have a decent send off. For a series that has aired for 11 years it deserved more, but then they ended last of the summer wine without a decent send off and that had been going for over 30. I think they need some new management at the BBC.

"I chose Santa Clara University because both my family and I decided it was the perfect spot to develop as a student, an athlete and as a person. The academic situation is great and it is clear that student comes before athlete. The team has a great upside and I am looking forward to being part of a Bronco squad that fights its way all the way to the Big Dance. The team is a great group of guys that are friendly and fun to be around and also work hard on the basketball court. They are closely knit and I am glad to become a part of that also. The coaches are energetic, excited, and knowledgeable and they are also approachable and personable. So are the professors. The class sizes are ideal and teachers want you to succeed. It is a beautiful campus and everyone on it is on your side. I feel that going to Santa Clara for four years means going to Santa Clara for life. I can develop a network and family of people at this university that will stay with me wherever my life may lead. There is nothing more that I could want out of a university. I'm thankful, excited, and ready to work! Go Broncos!!"
