Why Janumet and Glimepride Aren't Working?
I am presently taking Janumet 50/1000 twice a day and glimepride 2 mg twice a day, but my sugar is still staying in the 200+ range. I don`t want to take insulin. I weigh 152 pounds, and I am 52 years of age, female. I walk at least 30 minutes a day – up to 2 miles, and also work out at a gym on weight training and yoga. I don`t understand why my sugar is still so high. It was 272 this morning.
I work in the medical field as a medical transcriptionist and know what I should and should not do.
Any suggestions?
First of all, kudos to you for exercising regularly and staying on top of your blood glucose tests! If you don't test, you can't evaluate your treatment. You obviously know it is important to test your blood glucose regularly, and you look for answers when your tests are consistently out of the desired range.
You are right to be concerned about a blood glucose test of 272, and many tests over 200. The medications that you are taking are among the medications recommended for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Your diabetes care provider knows your whole health history, it is important that you talk to him or her about your concerns. You may need a change in therapy if your numbers continue to be high.
I am assuming you have type 2 diabetes. People with type 2 diabetes have high blood glucose levels for a number of reasons. An impaired ability to use insulin (insulin resistance), and the liver's release of glucose when it isn't necessary, result in an increased demand for insulin. A defect in the way the cells work that produce insulin results in ineffective insulin production. If your body can't produce enough insulin to counteract the other problems, blood glucose levels will be high. The medications you are taking are trying to correct these problems. But the high blood glucose tests you are seeing tell us that something needs to change.
It sounds like you are dreading the thought of taking insulin, should it become necessary. Try to keep good blood glucose levels as your top priority, not avoiding insulin. No one is thrilled to take injections, but today's insulin pens and pen needles are easy to use and cause only minor discomfort. If you are taught to use insulin by a diabetes educator, you will find it is not as hard as many people think it will be. When blood glucose levels are very high for a while, insulin can be very effective in getting glucose levels back to normal. When glucose levels are closer to the normal range, other diabetes medications can work better to keep them there.
Talk to your diabetes care provider about your blood glucose results, and talk over the options for improving them. Keep exercising and maintain a normal weight. Don't be discouraged if blood glucose levels are high even though you are working hard at controlling them. And if some day taking insulin is necessary, remember to keep your eyes on the goal – good blood glucose levels, and a low risk of diabetes complications, are worth it!

Here is the story of the most important moving parts in the history of firearms.
Without ammunition, the most powerful weapons in the world are little more than glorified paperweights or inelegant clubs. Yet the development of different bullets and ammo has often been overshadowed by the stories behind names like Colt, Remington and Kalashnikov.
BULLETS AND AMMO goes inside the barrel for a fascinating look at the history of these deadly projectiles. Trace the evolution of ammunition from the earliest hand-cast lead shots to the specialized bullets of today, like "tumblers," "dum-dums" and centerfire cartridges. Head out to the firing range for a fascinating look at exactly how these specialized rounds perform, and journey back in time as we chronicle the pivotal breakthroughs and new technologies that have made guns deadlier, more efficient and more reliable.
In the end, a gun is only as good as the round it fires.

PARIS (Reuters) - France manager Philippe Saint-Andre trimmed his preliminary Six Nations squad from 33 down to 24 on Monday, dispensing as expected with a host of uncapped and fringe players for the opener against Italy on Sunday.
With fullback Brice Dulin out of action for several weeks because of a hamstring injury, Yoann Huget or Benjamin Fall could be handed the number 15 shirt.
Lock Romain Taofifenua, who won his first cap against Argentina last year, retained his place in the squad.
Forwards: Vincent Debaty, Yannick Forestier, Benjamin Kayser, Dimitri Szarzewski, Luc Ducalcon, Nicolas Mas, Yoann Maestri, Pascal Pape (captain), Romain Taofifenua, Damien Chouly, Thierry Dusautoir, Yannick Nyanga, Fulgence Ouedraogo, Louis Picamoles

Lee DeWyze boasts new album, new label and a return to Viper Alley
Buoyed by a new single, a new label and a new album due out later this summer, Lee DeWyze can't help but hum with positivity.
The Mount Prospect native and Season 9 "American Idol" winner is in town Friday, April 19, for a sort of homecoming show at Lincolnshire's Viper Alley.
Lee DeWyzeWhen: 8 p.m. Friday, April 19
Where: Viper Alley, 275 Parkway Drive, Lincolnshire, (847) 499-5000, www.viper-alley.com
Tickets: $20-$40; $100 for meet and greet
DeWyze helped open the venue in March 2011 and returned last year to celebrate the club's anniversary. He's thrilled to be back in the suburbs where he grew up, and he can't wait to play some of the music that will appear on his new album.
"It's a beautiful venue, it's really great," DeWyze said. "It's going to be a fun show."
He's been busy putting the finishing touches on his second post-"Idol" album, which will be released by Vanguard Records.
The first single, "Silver Lining," will be available digitally on June 11.
DeWyze said he expects the album to be out not too long afterward.
"Silver Lining" features a folksier, rawer sound than the varnished feel of "Live It Up," the album he released a few months after winning "Idol" in 2010.
Dewyze said "Silver Lining" was the perfect choice for his single, and it's a good representation of what to expect from the forthcoming album.
"It's very organic," DeWyze said. "The verses are more acoustic and lyrical.
"It also describes where I am right now. Without being too cheesy, I felt like this song and this album really were the silver linings of my career."
DeWyze had cut demo versions of "Fight" and "Silver Lining" and was shopping around labels when things instantly clicked.
Vanguard had an ethos that hewed closer to Dewyze's own musical vision.
He signed with them in January.
It's a fit he describes as natural. The fit with RCA wasn't.
"It feels really awesome," DeWyze said of his new label. "The difference is, Vanguard doesn't say we want it to sound like X, Y or Z. They have enough trust in me to say whatever you think, we'll like."
Dewyze said he even rejected a few labels because "we didn't just want to find someone who liked the record. Someone who would say we just want you because you won 'American Idol' and can sell records.
"We wanted to find someone who genuinely, genuinely believed in it."
He spent a year and a half making the record, a point he's careful to emphasize.
"I've been working very hard in the studio on this one," DeWyze said. "I've been co-producing and engineering this entire album."
He also plays piano, drums, guitar and even banjo on the new album, a choice spurred by a gift from his wife, Jonna.
"Jonna gave me my first banjo this past Christmas," he said. "There's a song on the new record called 'Like I Do' and I heard a banjo part. I learned it and went in the studio to record it. It was one of those moments where I figured out exactly what the song needed and was able to make it happen."
Of the 12 to 13 tracks he's planning on the album having, DeWyze said he completely wrote seven and has been involved in some way on all of them.
"To be able to say I've written or co-written every single song on the album is so exciting," Dewyze said. "I love telling stories through music."
The album will feature a reworked version of the song "Fight," which Dewyze released last year to support The Heart Foundation's One for the Heart campaign.
Fans can also look forward to bonus content in some form or fashion.
DeWyze says the album is about 80 percent done, but he's still tinkering with track selection and final recordings. He'll head back to the studio in the next few weeks to finish it up. After that, he's planning on expanding his national tour and doing lots of promotion to bolster the single and album.
As for an appearance on the show that launched DeWyze onto the national scene, he says "Idol" hasn't approached him about playing "Silver Lining" live. But if he were asked, he said, there's no way he would turn it down.
"We'd love to go back on 'Idol,'" DeWyze said. "But it's not something that we're banking on to launch this record."
In other words, DeWyze is grateful for "Idol's" exposure, but he's ready to chart his own course now.
"I'm just excited to take these songs out on the road and get going with this phase of my career."

HollywoodLifers Predict: Scotty McCreery Will Win 'American Idol!'
With Pia Toscano no longer in the running, you told us your prediction of who will walk away with Idol glory. Do YOU think Scotty McCreery will take home the prize?
Last week fans of American Idol were stunned by the elimination of 22-year-old Pia Toscano. Many pegged her to go all the way, but after being booted from the Idol spotlight, HollywoodLifers have their eyes set on Scotty McCreery, 17, to win it all.
The southern cutie who has a the voice of a seasoned country star has become a fan favorite, especially among teen girls who have rushed the stage, let our ear piercing screams at the mere sight of him and has had more signs of support in the Idol audience than anyone can count.
Don't believe us? Check out the results from our poll:
Scotty McCreery 22.71%
James Durbin 21.16%
Lauren Alaina 13.61%
Casey Abrams 11.5%
Stefano Langone 9.57%
Haley Reinhart 8.49%
Paul McDonald 6.85%
Jacob Lusk 6.1%
Although James, is a close second, it looks like Scotty's mega-talent and southern charm has won over this Idol audience.
Do you agree with these poll results? Who do you think will win American Idol? Sound off in the comments!

The French voters have winnowed a ten-person presidential field down to two – Socialist Party candidate Francois Hollande (the first place finisher) and incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy, who finished second. Ultra-nationalist candidate Marine Le Pen finished a very strong third.
Here are the latest results that I have seen, rounded to the nearest half percent:
Hollande – 29 percent
Sarkozy – 26 percent
Le Pen – 18. 5 percent
Jean-Luc Mélenchon – 11.5 percent
Francois Beyrou – 9 percent
Others – 6 percent
The conventional wisdom, based on polling, has held that Sarkozy would have very little chance in a run-off against Hollande. The first round results suggest that, although Sarkozy's prospects may be better than many have supposed, he is indeed in serious trouble.
Melenchon is a hard left-wing candidate and Hollande can expect to capture the vast majority of his votes. Most of the "others" in the race are leftist fringe candidates. To the extent their supporters vote, they will tilt strongly for Hollande. This coalition of support would, by itself, bring Hollande pretty close to victory.
Hollande can expect virtually no support from the Le Pen voters. The question is, to what extent will they flock to Sarkozy. To maximize his support among this faction, Sarkozy will have to sound strongly nationalistic themes (in my view, he is a true nationalist in the good sense) without alienating centrists, the constituency of Bayrou and, presumably, a component of Sarkozy's first-round support. It is a portion of the Bayrou vote that is likely to push Hollande over the top.
In sum, Sarkozy is in a precarious position, as one would expect of an incumbent president of a European country in the current environment. However, the fact that he finished close to Hollande, coupled with Le Pen's strong showing, suggests that a small shift in public sentiment due, for example, to a debate, conceivable could see Sarko squeak through. For his part, Hollande will attempt to run out the clock through the same plodding style that has brought him to the brink of the French presidency.

Samsung EX2F Hands-On Preview
Consumers are generally more familiar with Samsung smartphones than they are with Samsung digital cameras and that's too bad since Samsung cameras often come with more features and better performance (at the same price point) than much of their competition. Samsung's newest point-and-shoot, the EX2F (which replaces the EX1), is a perfect example. The EX2F is a premium point-and-shoot aimed squarely at photo enthusiasts and straight shooters. Samsung's EX2F includes a super-fast 3.3x zoom and is crafted by Schneider-Kreuznach. The Samsung EX2F sets itself apart from similar models from Panasonic, Sony, Canon,
I have always loved small cameras. Over the years I've owned and used many. My photographic heroes have always been "straight shooters" – documentary, street/candid, Natural/Available Light, and environmental portrait photographers. Straight-Shooters are primarily concerned with depicting their subjects in naturally lit and/or candid situations that reveal important aspects of our culture. Famous straight-shooters like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Doisneau, Bruce Davidson, Robert Frank, and W. Eugene Smith used compact Leica 35mm rangefinder cameras to capture many of the iconic moments that defined 20th century history. Yet, throughout years of photographic changes, the qualities of those classic rangefinders- small, feature rich, easy to use, and unobtrusive – have found their way into premium compact digital cameras.
In hand, the elegant little Samsung EX2F evokes tactile memories of those classic Leica IIIFs and M4s – although it is actually closer in size to the Leica/Minolta CL mini-rangefinder. Luckily for us, today's premium compact cameras are capable of generating images that are every bit as good as those produced by bigger, heavier, and more conspicuous cameras.
The compact EX2F is an attractively understated digicam. Its robustly constructed all-metal body feels solid and stable in your hands. Nuts and bolts features include a 3.0-inch (614k) flip-out (camcorder style) tilt-swivel AMOLED LCD monitor, 1080p @ 30fps video capture, Dual IS, RAW format image files, 12 megapixel resolution, and Wi-Fi connectivity. The EX2F, unlike the vast majority of "auto-exposure only" compact digital cameras currently flooding the market, permits lots of individual input into the image making process via an enhanced feature set, plenty of creative flexibility, and full manual control of exposure.
I've only been using the EX2F for about a week, but so far I really like this well designed and beautifully built little camera. The EX2F is the perfect size for straight shooters. Completely un-intimidating to subjects, it provides a comprehensive selection of shooting modes including full manual exposure. It is built like a tank, it is easy to use, and it consistently produces excellent images – even in lighting that would sideline most of its competition. Watch here for our full review of this exceptional straight shooter.

Sweater Weather golf package offers cool value at Golden Horseshoe Golf Club
As the last of this summer's heat rolls through the mid-Atlantic, it's comforting for golfers to know they soon will have some cooler weather heading their way. At Colonial Williamsburg's Golden Horseshoe Golf Club that means "Sweater Weather Season," time for the historic resort's annual Sweater Weather golf package.
Available Dec. 1, 2008 through April 2, 2009, the Sweater Weather Golf Package includes 18 holes per day-of-stay at one of the two award-winning courses at the Golden Horseshoe Golf Club, as well as lodging in one of the hotels in Colonial Williamsburg's Resort Collection, with rates starting at $99 per person, per night (at the Williamsburg Woodlands Hotel & Suites, based on double occupancy, plus tax and gratuity). The package is also offered with stays at the Williamsburg Inn, Williamsburg Lodge, Colonial Houses-Historic Lodging, and Providence Hall Guest Houses; package rates vary by hotel and room type.
The Golden Horseshoe Golf Club (www.colonialwilliamsburgresort.com/golf) offers a pair of gems: the Gold Course, originally designed by the famed Robert Trent Jones Sr. and renovated by his son Rees Jones (6,817 yards from the championship tees), and the Green Course, a Rees Jones layout (7,120-yards from the tips). GOLF Magazine, in its September 2008 issue, ranked the Gold Course No. 55 on its "Top 100 Courses You Can Play" for 2008-09 and the Gold and Green Courses were both included among the top ten courses in Virginia.
Other features of the Sweater Weather Golf Package include unlimited range balls, a 15 percent discount on golf apparel in the Golden Horseshoe Golf Club's two pro shops (just in case a
new sweater is in order) and unlimited play on Spotswood, the resort's nine-hole course, also designed by Jones Sr. (Apparel discount cannot be combined with any other offer and applies only to in-house stock. The package has a one-night minimum stay requirement.).
Established in 1926, the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation is the not-for-profit educational institution that preserves and operates the restored 18th-century Revolutionary capital of Virginia as the nation's largest living history museum. The Colonial Williamsburg Company, a subsidiary of the Foundation, operates a Resort Collection with more than 1,000 guest rooms among five hotels including the landmark Williamsburg Inn, four historic dining taverns and six restaurants, and 66,000 square feet of conference space centered at the Williamsburg Lodge, as well as the 20,000-square-foot Spa of Colonial Williamsburg and the golf courses. Each purchase of Colonial Williamsburg products and services supports the Foundation's preservation, research, and educational programs.
Williamsburg is located in Virginia's Tidewater region, 20 minutes from Newport News, within an hour's drive of Richmond and Norfolk, and 150 miles south of Washington D.C. off Interstate 64. For more information about Colonial Williamsburg, call 1-800-501-0156 or visit Colonial Williamsburg's Web site at www.colonialwilliamsburgresort.com.

You don't see many tablets outdoors. There are a few ways to explain this, but one of the easiest is the fact that these thin, expensive, glass-covered computers are fragile.
Unlike smartphones, which spend most of their lives protected in your pocket, tablets need a sleeve or bag to shelter them from nature's fury. Without one, an unexpected rain shower or a spilled glass of water could quickly put an end to your forward-thinking, tablet-embracing lifestyle.
The Pantech Element is a tablet that dares to go outside. Not only is this $299 (on contract) Android 3.2 tablet able to survive full submersion in up to 1 meter of water, but it's also blessed with AT&T's 4G LTE mobile data network.
Does the Pantech Element's added durability mean we'd recommend it over similar tablets? Let's take a look.
Design and features
At first glance, the Pantech Element doesn't seem much different from any other Android tablet we've come across. It's a little on the small side, with an 8-inch screen as opposed to the 10.1-inch screens found on most of its Android 3.2 (aka Honeycomb) siblings.
|Pantech Element
|Motorola Xyboard 8.2
|Kindle Fire
|Nook Tablet
|Weight in pounds
|Width in inches (landscape)
|Height in inches
|Depth in inches
|Side bezel width in inches (landscape)
You'll notice something's different when you take a look at the sides of the tablet. All of its ports--the headphone jack, Micro-USB, HDMI, SIM slot, and microSD slot--are covered by plastic doors. This is one of Pantech's measures to waterproof the tablet, and these doors better be all closed up if you plan on putting its waterproofing to the test.
Not all of the Element's design choices are quite as thoughtful--at least, aesthetically. The position of the logos on the front and back would indicate that the tablet is intended to be used in a landscape orientation, but the location of the front-facing speaker and camera on the left of the screen makes you wonder if it should be held in portrait like a giant smartphone. You can use it either way, of course, but there's an odd visual tension looking at it.
Another small gripe is the use of a high-gloss finish on the back of the tablet, similar to the one used on the HP TouchPad. The slightest bit of finger grease gives it the texture of a rented bowling ball. But hey, since it's waterproof, you can just hose the thing down whenever it feels grimy.
In terms of hardware features, the Pantech Element offers many of the expected conveniences of its peers. You get a full gigabyte of system RAM, 16GB of built-in storage, Bluetooth 2.1, 802.11n Wi-Fi, GPS, accelerometer, compass, and cameras on both the front (2 megapixel) and back (5 megapixel), with the back camera being capable of capturing 720p video.
A couple of hardware features stand out. There's the 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 processor, which really does an impressive job of standing up to the 1.2GHz Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 CPU found on the Motorola Droid Xyboard 8.2. There's also the integrated 4G LTE wireless data connectivity, which is a great pairing for a tablet designed to survive outdoor use.
With that said, the Pantech Element isn't the rough-and-tumble Indiana Jones tablet you might be hoping for. It survived a dive or two into the CNET fountain, and a prolonged submersion in the bathroom sink, but its plastic design still isn't the kind of thing we would kick down the stairs or expect to survive a dog mauling. To be fair, neither AT&T nor Pantech is marketing the Element as indestructible. Really, it's a fairly average Honeycomb tablet that you can keep poolside without worry. It's not meant to accompany you to Mt. Everest.
Let's also be clear that the Pantech Element can't be operated underwater. If you were looking for a scuba-worthy tablet, this won't do. In fact, capacitive touch screens in general don't play well with water, since they rely on the body's natural electrical capacitance and can be fooled by even just a few drops of water.
The Pantech Element ships with Android 3.2. It's completely conceivable that this tablet will receive an over-the-air update to Android 4.0, but no plans have been formally announced.

This is according to the head of the union, Sheikh Muhammad Mahmoud Tiblawi, speaking to al-Nahar TV network.
"I myself evaluated the recitation of one of these women and also established a committee for the assessment," he said.
"The woman recited verses from the Quran and received a permission for Quran recitation from me," Tiblawi added.
As for Quran recitation by women in funerals and ceremonies, he said it is not a new phenomenon, noting that in the past two women Qaris recited the Holy Book in Egypt's Quran Radio.
The North African country is known for the prominent Qaris it has introduced to the Muslim world.

British troops arrived at Chestnut Hill about 5 a.m. on the frosty, misty morning of Friday, Dec. 5, 1777. They were on their way to confront the battered, ill-equipped American army.
The British had occupied Philadelphia in September, repulsed George Washington's attack at Germantown in October, and had spent November overpowering the Delaware River forts. Now, the British fleet could come up to the city with much-needed supplies and reinforcements. General Sir William Howe, the British commander, decided to try an assault on the stubborn colonial rebels camped at Whitemarsh.
The royal forces began assembling in the city on Dec. 4. Moved into position were 13 brass cannons and dozens of supply wagons, dray horses and cavalry horses. Forming two columns were some 10,000 soldiers: Britons, Scots, American units loyal to King George, and Germans, hired soldiers from the principalities of Hesse-Cassel, Hesse-Hanau and Anspach; they were called jaegers (hunters) in units originally conscripted by Frederic the Great from the forests of his empire.
Mrs. Lydia Darragh, of Frankford, had heard some British officers discussing the planned move the day before. She hustled west, well north of the line of fortifications the British had built from Kensington and the Northern Liberties all the way to the Fair Mount on the Schuylkill. She found some American soldiers in a country tavern, the Sign of the Rising Sun, where the York Road branched off from the Germantown Road, and told what she knew. Elias Boudinout, the Continental Army's commissioner of prisoners, galloped off to alert General Washington.
The Americans, some 11,000 strong, were settled down in Whitpain and Whitemarsh, in a rural area of Philadelphia County. (Montgomery County had not yet been created.) They had spent a month fortifying four miles of the ridge above Sandy Run, with walls and trenches extending from the Limekiln Road to the Bethlehem Road.
Daniel Morgan's Riflemen, about 400 ace combat veterans from Virginia, with a Connecticut regiment, held the left flank of the encampment, facing Philadelphia. On the right, Pennsylvania and New Jersey militia overlooked the Bethlehem Road, supported by Count Casimir Pulaski's dragoons (cavalry.)
In between were regiments from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland and Virginia, with North Carolina troops in reserve a mile or so behind the lines. Some shivering southern soldiers were still in summer uniforms. Supplies were scarce. General Washington offered a $10 prize to any soldier who produced the best substitute for shoes.
Washington's headquarters, shared with Lafayette and other generals, were in George Emlen's castle-like house, near where the present Pennsylvania Ave. crosses Sandy Run. Near the right flank, General Nathaniel Greene was headquartered in William West's house. (Today, it's called Hope Lodge.) South of the emplacements, American pickets (sentries) patrolled the Limekiln Road and the Wissahickon valley.
The British army began to move out of Philadelphia at 11 p.m. on Dec. 4. Two battalions of His Majesty's Light Infantry led the way, slipping on the heavy frost that crunched into mud underfoot as they headed out the Germantown Road. Outnumbered American pickets fired on them as they reached the York Road. British soldiers used musketry and bayonets to force them to withdraw toward Germantown.
The king's forces pushed on, randomly bashing in doors of houses in Germantown, awakening and harassing citizens, and setting fire to barns and a few houses. The soldiers passed the empty, windowless Cliveden mansion, damaged in the Germantown fighting in October. They filed by Judge William Allen's mansion, Mount Airy, where the first shots of the Germantown battle had been fired, and on past farm fields and woods.
As they approached Chestnut Hill, the British officers heard alarm cannons sounding in the American encampment. They found a lookout tower American soldiers had built on the summit of Chestnut Hill and burned it down, along with a couple of barns.
The American forces advanced into action. General James Irvine swung his 600-man Pennsylvania Militia unit around from the right of the American camp, moved down the Wissahickon and approached Chestnut Hill. General James Potter's 1,000 Pennsylvania militiamen, with a 200-man Connecticut regiment, protected Irvine's flank by heading to the old church near the Germantown Road at Barren Hill.
British light infantry spread out and moved down the hill, forcing the Americans back, with bloodshed on both sides, and capturing several Americans including General Irvine, who had been knocked from his horse with a shot that took off three of his fingers.
After some evening cannon dueling, the two armies relaxed. The British set up camp across about three miles of Chestnut Hill's north slope, building huts and big fires as the temperature slid toward freezing. The Americans lit up more fires than necessary, to give the impression that their numbers were greater. Men of both armies noted the beautiful sight of miles of campfires across the summits of the opposing ridges.
The next night, at 2 a.m., Howe pulled most of his troops back to Germantown and out the Abington Road (now Washington Lane) to Jenkintown. Last to leave were the German jaegers and the Queen's Rangers, a green-coated all-American unit of the British army. As they went, the rear guard set fire to the villages of Cresheim, near the stream of that name, and Beggarstown, down the hill from Mount Pleasant toward Germantown.
After a stop at Jenkintown, the main column marched to Abington, swung left close to Edge Hill, and camped there overnight. In the morning, Howe formed three divisions. His idea was to encircle the Americans' left flank
Washington and his staff reacted. Morgan's Rifles, with some Maryland Militia, covered the left, while a brigade of Pennsylvania militia, under Generals James Webb and James Potter, with a Connecticut regiment, headed out the Limekiln Road toward Edge Hill.
Howe assembled an advancing line that met the Americans suddenly in the Edge Hill woods. There was brisk fighting. British infantry with bayonets and jaegers with their short hunting swords drove the outnumbered Americans back to their fortifications.
The British troops trudged back through Chestnut Hill and Germantown, rounding up horses, cows and other loot on the way, and stopping off to burn down the Rising Sun Tavern. They settled in for a comfortable winter in the city. George Washington's ragged warriors moved across the Schuylkill to freeze and starve for a while near an old iron forge the British had burned down in September, known as the Valley Forge.

Anyone who suffers from chronic or even occasional back, shoulder and neck pain knows that it diminishes the quality of life—sometimes for years. Which is why Tom Carpenter was so dedicated to finding a cure.
The Yorktown Heights chiropractor, who holds a doctorate of chiropractic degree, has spent the last three decades working with people suffering from these issues and knew he could find a solution.
Amazon, Walmart, K-Mart, and Sears agreed. Dr. Carpenter's new product, Stand Corrected , a portable, lightweight, harness-like stretching tool, is now available at these retailers with others in the works.
Stand Corrected, which Dr. Carpenter says takes minutes to be effective, is easy to use and is portable so it can be taken anywhere—school, office, vacation or at home.
The invention -- his first to come to market -- utilizes the weight of the user's arms to provide a gentle stretch that elongates shortened and tight muscles, corrects posture, aligns the spine and reduces pain.
"I wanted to come up with something people would actually use every day.
"And most importantly, something that I believe would really help them," he said.
His main audience for the product is anyone who spends prolonged periods of time looking down with their shoulders rolled in -- think office workers staring at a computer, teenagers texting from a smartphone, dentists, massage therapists and chiropractors leaning over patients all day or gardeners bending over to dig in the dirt.
"The list is endless," he said. "Most of us look down too much and would benefit from Stand Corrected."
The new invention is designed for people 13 years and older. And, despite its' name, can be used sitting or standing.
And, said Dr. Carpenter, who's also a Certified Personal Trainer, and Corrective Exercise Specialist, used daily, over time, it can reverse damage caused by years of poor posture.

When Swiss sports memorabilia collector Olivier Démoli ponied up $10K for a jersey worn by French player David Trezequet in the 1998 World Cup final vs. Brazil, the rarity of the item made the purchase worthwhile.
Enter customs workers in France with little taste for what's valuable and what's a knock-off worth burning.
"I was prepared to pay so much because those French jerseys from 98 are very hard to come across. There are only six in circulation: a 'Zidane', a 'Trezeguet', a 'Desailly', a 'Boghossian' and two 'Guivarc'hs'.
When I went to get it they told me the shirt had been destroyed by customs because it was counterfeit. I went mad."

Finally breaking his silence two weeks after he was banned for life from the NBA, Clippers owner Donald Sterling gave CNN a wide-ranging interview that included him questioning whether or not Magic Johnson sets a good example for "the children of Los Angeles."
In the interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, Sterling pointed out that Johnson — an NBA Hall of Famer and Dodgers part-owner known for philanthropic work — had contracted HIV and also questioned his contributions to the African-American community.
The remarks prompted NBA commissioner Adam Silver to issue an apology to Johnson on behalf of the league.
"I just read a transcript of Donald Sterling's interview with Anderson Cooper and while Magic Johnson doesn't need me to, I feel compelled on behalf of the NBA family to apologize to him that he continues to be dragged into this situation and be degraded by such a malicious and personal attack," Silver said in the statement. "The NBA Board of Governors is continuing with its process to remove Mr. Sterling as expeditiously as possible."
Sterling — who can be forced to sell the team with a three-fourths majority vote among league owners — originally created the controversy by asking female friend V. Stiviano not to associate with African-Americans, including Johnson. Audio of his comments was published by TMZ.
Sterling, who apologized during the CNN interview for his remarks disparaging blacks on the leaked tape, arguably made matters worse Monday.
"Well, what kind of a guy goes to every city, he has sex with every girl, then he catches HIV and — is that someone we want to respect and tell our kids about?" Sterling told Cooper. "I think he should be ashamed of himself. I think he should go into the background."
"He's a good person, and he — what am I going to say?," Sterling continued. "Has he done everything he can do to help minorities? I don't think so. … You know, he's great. But I just don't think he is a good example for the children of Los Angeles, that he would go and do what he did and then get AIDS."
The interview also featured other surprising claims from Sterling, including that Johnson asked him not to comment when TMZ initially leaked audio of his comments — suggesting a conspiracy on Johnson's part to try and buy Clippers.
Sterling also said that his players still love him, and that the recent outrage over his comments were manufactured by the media.
A CNN interview with Magic Johnson is set to air Tuesday night.

- Spurs vs. Warriors: Series Hub | Notebook | Box Score
SAN ANTONIO — Sometimes young players make a splash in the playoffs.
That was Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson — the Splash Brothers — in their postseason baptism, doing jack knives, double flips and triple twists off the high board.
It was the kind of how-did-they-do-that act that left you shaking your head when you weren't picking your jaw up off the floor as you figured you were maybe getting a glimpse of the way basketball should be played in the 21st century.
Sometimes young players have to wade into the deep end of the pool.
That was Kawhi Leonard, whose next splash will be his first, easing into the water from his ankles up to his knees up to his hips, the old-fashioned way.
A year ago, Leonard wasn't ready. Not when the Spurs reached the Western Conference finals against the Thunder and suddenly he was swimming with the sharks. There were critical plays that he was physically capable of making, but the rookie who did not have the benefit of a training camp in the abbreviated lockout season, wasn't sure enough to assert himself on a veteran-laden roster.
Warriors coach Mark Jackson has called Curry and Thompson "the best shooting backcourt in the history of the game" and anyone who saw them practically set fire to the AT&T Center in the first two games of this series had little ammunition to argue otherwise.
However, since Game 1, neither Curry or Thompson has made better than 50 percent of his shots. In the past four games, Curry has shot 7-20, 5-17, 7-15 and 4-14, while Thompson has hit on 13-26, 7-20, 5-13 and 2-8. That's a combined 50-for-133 (.375), as the Splash Brothers haven't been able to throw it in the ocean.
San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich raised a few eyebrows last summer when he said that Leonard would eventually be "the face of the Spurs."
That would seem to be a heavy lift on a roster that still includes three likely Hall of Famers in Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker. Yet here are the Spurs holding a 3-2 series lead after a 109-91 thumping of the Warriors on Tuesday night and there was Leonard up to his neck in all of it.
At one end of the floor, Leonard is as efficient and deadly as a shark, connecting on 7 of 8 shots — 3-for-4 on deep balls — to ring up 17 points to go with his seven rebounds. He can hit impossible-looking corner 3s from behind the backboard and finish with a thunderbolt dunk over Harrison Barnes. At the other end, his defense on Thompson (and occasionally Curry) couldn't be more smothering if he used a wet blanket.
"He made some big shots for us," Duncan said. "When they made runs, he made some huge 3s for us. Defensively, he was great. His length is just huge for us and being able to contest from the side and from behind those, it makes them uncomfortable."
Leonard fits in so comfortably on the floor and in the locker room that there are times when it's easy not to notice him. He usually dresses and bolts after games before the media even arrives at his locker. On the occasions when he is hemmed in by the notebooks and cameras, he squeezes out words as if he is expected to pay for each one.
But there was a reason why Popovich was able and willing to cut veteran Stephen Jackson from the team just a week before the regular season's end. Yes, Jackson's play had taken a dive. He was shooting just 28 percent on 3s, which did not gibe with Capt. Jack's opinion of himself.
The question was whether Popovich and the Spurs would miss Jackson defensively when they ran into a red hot scorer or two, the kind that needs to be jostled, rattled and knocked off his rhythm.
This time last spring, Popovich was hoping that Leonard could one day grow into that dependable game-changer. Now he is there. Leonard might not yet be "the face of the Spurs," but he's a got a nose for the ball. On a team where managing the playing time of the thirtysomething crowd is as much a part of the game as dribbling and shooting, it is no coincidence that Leonard topped out in minutes on the Spurs' box score with 37 in Game 5 and is averaging more (38.2) than anyone on the roster. He is also the legs of the Spurs.
Jackson, of course, concedes nothing has thrown the Splash Brothers off their game.
On Curry: "Didn't play well."
On Thompson: "Didn't play well."
Since the first two games of the series, the Spurs have been getting up in the face and the space of the Warriors' shooters. They have been running them off the 3-point line. They have been doing it with double-teams that come at different times and from different angles.
They have been doing it by turning more responsibility over to the taciturn Leonard, who has grown into the role and grown comfortable in the deep water of the playoffs.
Seems there is more than one way to make a splash.

Scenes from a marriage
New York City Mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner unleashed his typical torrent of verbiage on Tuesday — but words couldn't compete with the excruciating image of his embarrassed wife squirming in the spotlight both have sought.
In the most cringe-worthy moment of a four-month political comeback yarn that has tested Gotham's gag reflex, Huma Abedin, the dignified wife of a serially disgraced Democrat, nervously defended her husband at a Tuesday press conference.
Story Continued Below
Her effort came amid new disclosures Weiner had shared an online relationship, and anatomical snapshots, with yet another female admirer.
( WATCH: Huma Abedin stands by her husband)
If the presence of Abedin, an elegant longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, was intended to buttress the former congressman's decision to remain in the race, it graphically illustrated the personal toll his quest is taking on his family and represented the gravest threat yet to Weiner's fragile repentance-and-redemption narrative.
His luck may be running out. The tragi-slapstick spectacle of Weiner and his wife appearing at the gritty offices of the Gay Men's Health Crisis Center in Manhattan to save his career clearly marked a new, and dangerous, phase for Weiner.
"You want this guy to be mayor? Or you want him in therapy?" asked an incredulous Doug Muzzio, a Baruch College professor and longtime observer of city scandal, from Koch-era corruption to Rudy Giuliani's well-chronicled infidelities.
( PHOTOS: Huma Abedin in the public eye)
"I mean, this is a guy who's got some severe psychological problems. … It's noble that she's stuck with him. I feel sorry for her. But she's complicit too, an enabler or whatever you want to call it. … It's the Twilight Zone. It's Oz. It's f—-ng crazy."
If Abedin was complicit, she also appeared deeply pained. She struggled to find a comfortable standing position as her husband soldiered through his statement, smiling uncomfortably to reporters she had met as Clinton's body woman, at times physically drifting away from Weiner, as if she wanted to somehow slip quietly out of the camera frame, stage left.
No such luck. When it was time for her to speak, she unfolded a single sheet of white bond, apologized for her nervousness and remarked how her marriage survived only after " a lot of therapy."
( WATCH: Weiner 'cubicle guy' a viral hit)
Only a few hours earlier, a website called "The Dirty" posted revelations her husband had used the online handle "Carlos Danger" to share a picture of his penis with a young woman who admired his health care reform "rants."
Weiner has long suggested that more pictures and texts would pop out of the ether, but on Tuesday he admitted a damning new detail: That he had been carrying on an e-affair until last November — after resigning his House seat, apologizing to his wife and becoming a national punchline.
Weiner, who has held his own in recent polls against a Democratic field that includes City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, former City Comptroller Bill Thompson and Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, seemed to be befuddled by his own behavior.
( Also on POLITICO: Weiner kept sexting after resignation)
"Perhaps I'm surprised more things haven't come out sooner. This behavior that I did was problematic to say the least and destructive to say the most," he said. "I'm sure many of my opponents would like me to drop out of the race."
That they did.

Some brides-to-be find planning a wedding overwhelming, but not Jeanne Bonich. The special-events manager, who throws fundraisers—including a biannual 900-person gala—for a living, says she went into "event mode" as soon as her boyfriend, Brian Kushner, proposed on Valentine's Day 2005. Finding the dress of her dreams, a Pnina Tornai ball gown with cascading silk flowers on the train, inspired her to orchestrate an ultraromantic affair for their nearly 200 guests on January 15, 2006.
The couple chose the elegant Grove Isle Hotel & Spa in Coconut Grove, FL, where Brian's mother has a home, as their site, because it offered the waterfront space Jeanne wanted for their outdoor ceremony, plus a stately ballroom for the formal reception to follow. But the location meant that the University of Miami grads, who still live in the area, would be hosting a whopping 135 out-of-town guests. As a token of thanks to those who'd traveled, the couple prepared welcome bags stuffed with home-baked sugar cookies, weekend itineraries, maps and lists of local restaurants (with their favorite entrées at each). Next they went about securing the elements that would make the night special, including a nine-piece band that catered to both the hip-hop and bunny-hop crowds, and a four-tier vanilla-rum-and-chocolate-flavored cake.
But the pair also learned that you can't be prepared for everything. Brian's father—his best man—unexpectedly passed away in the middle of their engagement year, which shed new light on the couple's impending nuptials. "We began looking at the big picture and what really mattered to us," says Jeanne. Her mother created handmade programs that explained the traditional Jewish ceremony and paid tribute to the memory of Brian's father (the couple also lit a candle in his honor during the ceremony).
And though planning is the bride's forte, the wedding's most spectacular touch was out of her control. After setting the date, she and Brian realized that their ceremony would take place under a full moon, which rose as they exchanged vows and glowed brilliantly during their cocktail hour. "It was magical," says Jeanne, who walked down the aisle, fittingly, to an instrumental version of Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon."
Learn From Jeanne and Brian
Maximize your time with guests: For this couple, visiting with family and friends who had traveled was a priority. So they snapped photos prior to the ceremony and then shared a quick bite, in a private room, before joining the cocktail hour, so they could circulate during the reception's sit-down dinner.
Choose double-duty favors: The bride and groom used individual champagne splits with personalized labels for place cards as well as festive gifts. "By the end of the night, everyone was drinking them," Jeanne says happily.
Save a surprise for your spouse: Before their big day, Jeanne secretly had her garter decorated with green and orange ribbons (the colors of the University of Miami, the couple's alma mater) to honor her football-fan husband.

NEW YORK/LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actresses Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, the hosts of this year's Golden Globe Awards, have signed a deal to head the show in 2014 and 2015, organizers said on Tuesday.
Golden Globe and Emmy winner Fey, 43, and Poehler, 42, will host the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards from Beverly Hills on January 12, which will be broadcast live on the Comcast Corp's NBC network, as well as the show the following year.
Fey and Poehler, who developed a strong comic rapport a decade ago while on NBC's late-night sketch comedy show "Saturday Night Live," helped boost the Golden Globes viewership to its best ratings in six years in January.
The 2013 telecast attracted 19.7 million viewers, a 17 percent increase from the previous year when British comedian Ricky Gervais hosted the program.
"Tina and Amy are two of the most talented comedic writer/performers in our business and they were a major reason the Golden Globes was the most entertaining awards show of last season," Paul Telegdy, the president of alternative and late night programming at NBC Entertainment, said in a statement.
Fey and Poehler - who have had their own NBC comedy series, "30 Rock" and "Parks and Recreation," respectively - boosted viewership 28 percent in the 18-to-49 age demographic most coveted by advertisers.
The duo won praise from critics for fostering a comedic but relaxed atmosphere at the awards after three years of Gervais' acidic humor that some believed was in poor taste and was not always well received by the celebrity-filled audience.
Fey and Poehler's understated tone also will be mimicked by the Oscars this year, as organizers brought on comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres to lead the Academy Awards after "Family Guy" creator and provocative comedian Seth MacFarlane drew mixed reviews for his sometimes raunchy act in February.
The Golden Globes, which are given out annually for achievement in both film and television by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, kicks off the Hollywood film awards season. It does not always tip Oscar winners as the HFPA has fewer than 100 voters while Oscar voters number close to 6,000.
Last year, Iran hostage drama "Argo" won best dramatic film at the Golden Globes as well as best picture at the Oscars, but Golden Globe big winner "Les Miserables," which won best comedy/musical film, was only able to score a single top Oscar award when Anne Hathaway won best supporting actress.
