WASHINGTON — Senator Ted Cruz, the sometimes-incendiary Texan running for the Republican presidential nomination, took to the Senate floor on Friday to call his party's majority leader a liar in an extraordinary public airing of grievance.
Mr. Cruz, an ardent opponent of the federal Export-Import Bank, reacted in starkly personal terms after the leader, Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, allowed a vote pressed by a bipartisan group of senators to resurrect the government's export credit agency.
That vote will come Sunday in a rare weekend session of Congress called to rush forward a major infrastructure bill before the Highway Trust Fund runs out of money July 31.
"I cannot believe he would tell a flat-out lie," Mr. Cruz said of Mr. McConnell, who he said had promised him there was no deal to bring the Export-Import Bank matter up for a vote.
Mr. Cruz said allowing that vote on the measure, which will almost certainly pass, was "an absolute demonstration that not only what he told every Republican senator, but what he told the press over and over and over again, was a simple lie."
The outburst breached the Senate's decorum — and perhaps its rules, which preclude a senator from using "any form of words" to "impute to another senator or to other senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a senator." Mr. McConnell and his staff declined to comment.
Aides to Senator John Cornyn of Texas, the Senate's No. 2 Republican, said he also would not comment on Mr. Cruz's speech.
Mr. Cruz has been a combative figure since his arrival in the Senate in 2013, when he helped shut down the government in a fruitless effort to defund the Affordable Care Act.
He also pressed to shut down the Department of Homeland Security this year over President Obama's executive orders on immigration.
While Mr. Cruz frequently challenges Democrats, he has largely refrained from attacking fellow Republicans.
"In my time in the Senate, I haven't impugned the character of Republicans or Democrats, and I don't intend to start today," he said this month when pressed to condemn a fellow Republican White House hopeful, Donald J. Trump, who had questioned Senator John McCain's wartime heroism.
On Friday, Mr. Cruz held nothing back. He detailed what he said was a closed-door confrontation he had with Mr. McConnell in May, after supporters of the Export-Import Bank tried to derail a trade bill unless they were promised a vote to keep the bank open.
"It was a direct question I asked the majority leader in front of all the Republican senators," he said. He said that Mr. McConnell had been "visibly angry" and that "like St. Peter," the majority leader had offered a denial three times: "There is no deal, there is no deal, there is no deal."
Far from backing down, Mr. Cruz joined the conservative radio show host Rush Limbaugh on Friday afternoon, basking in Mr. Limbaugh's praise for a "direct hit" on leadership like none he could remember.
"It's not a good day when the majority leader is willing to lie to the Senate," Mr. Cruz told Mr. Limbaugh.
Tea Party groups, the Heritage Foundation's political arm, and Charles G. and David H. Koch's Freedom Partners rushed to Mr. Cruz's defense.
Support for the Export-Import Bank in both the House and Senate is sufficient to restore it if Republican leaders allow a vote. On June 30, the authorization ran out on the agency, which offers loan guarantees and other assistance to the foreign customers of American exporters.
Businesses — powered by some of the nation's biggest corporations, like Boeing, General Electric and Caterpillar — have been pressing to reopen it, arguing that the conservative war on the agency is costing American jobs in the service of a purely ideological fight. On the other side of the money fight, Delta Air Lines, the Kochs, Club for Growth and the Heritage Foundation are fueling the opposition.
Mr. Cruz framed the fight as one pitting "the Washington cartel of the lobbyists on K Street, or the big money and big corporations," against the American taxpayer.
Money has in fact sloshed through both sides of the fight. Among Republican presidential candidates, only Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, where Boeing operations benefit from Export-Import Bank financing, supports restoring the agency.
Mr. McConnell, in allowing a vote Sunday afternoon to reopen the bank, was careful to say he personally opposed it. At the same time, he offered conservatives a compromise in the form of a separate amendment to the highway bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
Mr. Cruz called that "an empty show vote."
"The Republican leader is behaving like the senior senator from Nevada," Mr. Cruz said, accusing Mr. McConnell of running the Senate the same way his predecessor, Senator Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada, operated.
In a test vote last month, 65 senators, Republican and Democrat, showed that they would vote for the Export-Import Bank's reauthorization. In the House, 60 Republicans have signed on to legislation to reopen new lending activity at the bank, more than enough to pass a bill that has overwhelming Democratic support.
The question is whether Speaker John A. Boehner will buck the opposition of other Republicans on his leadership team to allow the Senate's bank amendment to come to a vote.

Apple's Golden Eggs
Good morning and Happy Tuesday.
Here's hoping you got everything you wished for on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
I bought some coffee, which isn't very cyber, I know, but hey, a man's gotta have his caffeine.
You know who else might need some caffeine soon?
Tim Cook, CEO of Apple.
Yesterday, justices of the U.S. Supreme Court (hereafter referred to as "SCOTUS") appeared open to letting a lawsuit proceed against Apple that accused it of breaking federal antitrust laws by monopolizing the market for iPhone software applications and causing consumers to overpay.
According to a report from Reuters:
The nine justices heard an hour of arguments in an appeal by the Cupertino, California-based technology company of a lower court's decision to revive the proposed class-action lawsuit filed in federal court in California in 2011 by a group of iPhone users seeking monetary damages.
The lawsuit said Apple violated federal antitrust laws by requiring apps to be sold through the company's App Store and then taking a 30 percent commission from the purchases.
Reuters points out that while developers set the prices of their apps, Apple collects the payments from iPhone users and keeps 30 percent commission on each purchase. Developers earned more than $26 billion from the store in 2017, a 30 percent increase from the year before.
Happy Thanksgiving Black Friday
Well, it's that time of year here in the U.S.
Time for giving thanks…briefly…before the real fun begins, shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and all points in between.
I'm only partially joking. For many retailers, this several day period can also be a time for giving thanks and making up for other soft periods throughout the year.
The good news, consumer confidence is high, the unemployment rate is at a 50-year low, and the Walmarts and Targets and Amazons and Apples and all the other retailers are ready to rock n roll for the full stop start of this year's holiday shopping season.
My predictions for this year: I've learned not to get too far out over my skis on predictions, but I will say I believe mobile shopping (via tablets and smartphones) will continue to grow, more omnichannel opportunities will be taken advantage of so consumers don't have to fight their way through crowded stores (i.e., buy online only to pick up at the store later), and based on my own personal experience these past few days, Roku and Amazon Fire streaming devices are in high demand.
As for my own shopping proclivities, I don't have anything tech-related that's trying to burn a hole in my pocket. I bought a used iPhone 7 Plus off Gazelle earlier this year, and a Google Pixelbook earlier in the year which I really, really like (yes, you can consider that an endorsement). And I've had my Air Pods for over a year now, and don't know how I lived without them (another endorsement).
But if YOU are looking for some help with the holiday shopping onslaught, particularly as it relates to tech, I found the Wall Street Journal "Best Tech Gifts 2018" list helpful. I've also become a big fan of The New York Times Wirecutter reviews, and they, too, have a helpful shopping list for electronics and a whole host of other retail categories.
But for today, let us give thanks. For good friends, for family, for great food and abundance, and for each other. Sure, all this stuff can bring some joy to our lives, and I'm also thankful for the benefits technology provides.
Yet as we've surely witnessed over the past few years, any technology — including digital technology and social media — can be used for both good and ill.
On this day, the day of giving thanks, I'm going to choose to celebrate the good of those technologies and be thankful for how they keep me closer to my friends and family and enrich my life and theirs.
For despite all the negativity and division, we should step back and realize we live in amazing and wondrous times, with great possibilities and promise ahead, technologically and otherwise.
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody. And try not to stampede your fellow shoppers at the Walmart this year!
Common Sense AI
Microsoft announced that it is acquiring conversational AI and bot development software vendor XOXCO, Inc., an Austin-based firm, for an undisclosed amount.
According to a report from ZDNet, XOXCO was founded in 2008, and has been working on conversational AI since 2013.
One of its products, Howdy.ai, has been described as one of the first commercially available bots for Slack that helps schedule meetings.
Though it may be great for scheduling meetings, a new article in WIRED suggests that artificial intelligence and deep learning could stand to gain some common sense:
Deep learning is the reigning monarch of AI. In the six years since it exploded into the mainstream, it has become the dominant way to help machines sense and perceive the world around them. It powers Alexa's speech recognition, Waymo's self-driving cars, and Google's on-the-fly translations. Uber is in some respects a giant optimization problem, using machine learning to figure out where riders will need cars. Baidu, the Chinese tech giant, has more than 2,000 engineers cranking away on neural net AI. For years, it seemed as though deep learning would only keep getting better, leading inexorably to a machine with the fluid, supple intelligence of a person.
But some heretics argue that deep learning is hitting a wall. They say that, on its own, it'll never produce generalized intelligence, because truly humanlike intelligence isn't just pattern recognition. We need to start figuring out how to imbue AI with everyday common sense, the stuff of human smarts. If we don't, they warn, we'll keep bumping up against the limits of deep learning, like visual-recognition systems that can be easily fooled by changing a few inputs, making a deep-learning model think a turtle is a gun. But if we succeed, they say, we'll witness an explosion of safer, more useful devices—health care robots that navigate a cluttered home, fraud detection systems that don't trip on false positives, medical breakthroughs powered by machines that ponder cause and effect in disease.
I look forward to having an argument with a bot…someday.
A Foldable Phone
Happy Monday.
We have ourselves another weekend-announced tech deal, this time SAP announcing that it would purchase survey-software provider Qualtrics for $8 billion in cash.
Axios reports that "this would be the largest-ever purchase of a VC-backed enterprise software company" and "the third-largest sale of any SaaS company (behind Oracle buying NetSuite for $9.3B, and SAP buying Concur for $8.3B).
AP CEO Bill McDermott said in a conference call that the Qualtrics IPO was already over-subscribed, and that this deal will be as transformative for SAP as buying Instagram was for Facebook — with SAP being able to merge its massive trove of operational data with Qualtrics' collection of user experience data.
Meanwhile, if you've been keeping an eye on that nifty-looking foldable Galaxy F smartphone, Yonhap News Agency is reporting that it will launch in March, "along with a fifth-generation (5G) network-powered Galaxy S10."
Yonhap reports that the eagerly anticipated foldable smartphone is expected to launch at the Mobile World Congress in February, but that it is not expected to support 5G. So all that folding will have to transpire on existing 4G networks.
Hey, a slower folding phone is better than no folding phone, right?
And if you've already started that Christmas shopping binge, looking for the latest and greatest gaming console, you might want to hit "pause" just long enough to read this effort from The Wall Street Journal's Sarah Needleman.
She writes that tech giants are "trying to bring videogames the same streaming capabilities that gave rise to Netflix and Spotify," which could potentially do an end around traditional gaming consoles.
I wouldn't short the X-Box or Playstation just yet, but there is the possibility those consoles will have to reinvent themselves to stay up to speed with the Jones's…errr, I meant to say, the Streamers.
Facebook's Portal Doublethink
CNET is reporting that Facebook's new home smart video assistants, Portal and Portal Plus, are now available for sale on the Portal online store, Amazon and Best Buy.
Facebook Portal Plus is selling for $349, and has 1080p HD res and a 15.6-inch screen. The $199 Portal has a 720p, 10.1-inch screen. Both serve as Alexa speakers as well as offer Facebook's "Hey, Portal" (so original!) voice service.
Yes, Facebook's Portal product uses Alexa service because, well, why reinvent the home assistant and copying is the sincerest form of flattery.
As for a Facebook video product being unleashed into the privacy of your home?? Well, I would have used to say read Facebook's privacy policy with care…
A post from Facebook on privacy and security for Portal alleges the following:
- Facebook does not listen to, view or keep the contents of your Portal video calls. This means nothing you say on a Portal video call is accessed by Facebook or used for advertising.
- Portal video calls are encrypted, so your calls are secure.
- Smart Camera and Smart Sound use AI technology that runs locally on Portal, not on Facebook servers. Portal's camera doesn't identify who you are.
And as to how they use information from Portal:
- Portal is integrated with some of your Messenger and Facebook experiences. When you use Portal, we process the same kinds of information as when you use Facebook products on your other devices. Some of this information, including the fact that you logged into your account or how often you use a feature or app, may be used to inform the ads you see across Facebook.
- While we don't listen to, view or keep the contents of your Portal video calls, or use this information to target ads, we do process some device usage information to understand how Portal is being used and to improve the product.
Read the full post for more details here.
At least one technology journalist, The Wall Street Journal's Joanna Stern, isn't having any of it. She wrote:
I just couldn't bring myself to set up Facebook's camera-embedded screen in the privacy of my family's home. Can you blame me when you look at the last 16 months?
The personal data of millions of users was accessed for political purposes without consent. Whoops. False news articles were deliberately spread across our feeds to hoax us. Whoops again. Hackers gained access to nearly 50 million accounts, the largest-ever security breach at the social network. Giant whoopsies.
However, she did go on to write that "The Portal+, with its 15.6-inch giant rotatable screen, is one of the most immersive video-chatting experiences I've ever had."
Midterm Election Cyber Shenanigans
Happy Election Day for those of you here in the U.S.!
I hope you all got out to vote, either in advance in early voting or in what, I'm sure, are probably long lines today on actual election day.
I was waiting for any stories to break about any social media shenanigans going on today or leading up to election day.
I wasn't disappointed (well, I was, but you know what I mean).
CNBC reports that Facebook felt compelled to block 115 accounts ahead of the midterms, with U.S. law enforcement having notified Facebook on Sunday of the accounts' online activity, saying they believed the accounts "may be linked to foreign entities."
From Facebook's blog post:
Given that we are only one day away from important elections in the U.S., we wanted to let people know about the action we've taken and the facts as we know them today.
Our very early-stage investigation has so far identified around 30 Facebook accounts and 85 Instagram accounts that may be engaged in coordinated inauthentic behavior. We immediately blocked these accounts and are now investigating them in more detail. Almost all the Facebook Pages associated with these accounts appear to be in the French or Russian languages, while the Instagram accounts seem to have mostly been in English — some were focused on celebrities, others political debate.
Typically, we would be further along with our analysis before announcing anything publicly. But given that we are only one day away from important elections in the US, we wanted to let people know about the action we've taken and the facts as we know them today.
Once we know more — including whether these accounts are linked to the Russia-based Internet Research Agency or other foreign entities — we will update this post.
Facebook appears to have learned a lesson from 2016 — a strong offense can prevent later necessary defense.
Meanwhile, a joint statement from DHS, the Justice Department, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the FBI said the following:
Foreign actors — and Russia in particular — continue to try to influence public sentiment and voter perceptions through actions intended to sow discord.
[These attacks can come in the form of] spreading false information about political processes and candidates, lying about their own interference activities, disseminating propaganda on social media and through other tactics [and that Americans should be aware of such efforts].
Uh, wasn't that kind of a given?!
I guess everybody's vote counts in the 2018 midterms — including Vlad's!
The Amazon Runoff
Happy Monday.
If you've been wondering where Amazon HQ2 might land, The Wall Street Journal is reporting today that the company is in late-stage talks with cities that included Crystal City, Virginia; Dallas, Texas; and New York City.
Apparently the talks with local officials in some of the other 20 cities on the shortlist, including Denver, Toronto, Atlanta, Nashville, and Raleigh "have cooled."
You can just hear the mayors, chamber of commerce heads, and real estate developers screaming in the jaws of potential victory and the agony of possible Amazonian defeat (depending on their respective locales, of course).
The story also hints that an announcement could be made as soon as this month, and cites an interview Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos did recently with author Walter Isaacson about how the company was going about making its decision:
For a decision like that, as far as I know, the best way to make it is you collect as much data as you can, you immerse yourself in that data, but then make the decision with your heart.
LATE-BREAKING UPDATE! The Journal is now reporting that Amazon plans to split its second HQ evenly between two locations rather than picking one city for HQ2.
The driving force behind the decision to build two equal offices in addition to the company's headquarters in Seattle is recruiting enough tech talent, according to the person familiar with the company's plans. The move will also ease potential issues with housing, transit and other areas where adding tens of thousands of workers could cause problems.
Under the new plan, Amazon would split the workforce with 25,000 employees in each city, the person said.

Stoney Pointe Commons, a development that will provide housing for Akron's homeless and disabled, withdrew a request to build a parking lot that was smaller than required by Akron's zoning laws. In doing so, the developers, Tober Development and Community Support Services, removed an obstacle that could have delayed the start of construction. The renovation of six buildings in Downtown Akron on Main Street also took a step forward Monday when Council approved selling the city-owned buildings to Bowery Development Group. The key piece in the sale was the Landmark Building, which the developers plan to turn into a high-end loft apartment building.

Find Out About The Best Benefits That One Can Get From Landscaping Trees We all know for a fact that trees play a very important and very vital role in our environment. In fact, you can actually say that this message is highly advertised by those who care deeply for the environment such as the groups of environmental activist and environmentalist and this has been the case for decades now plus, the popularity of the said message seems to keep on growing as time goes by, same as the groups of those who are ascribing the said valuable message. These days, with the way the world is moving towards modernity, it is now high time for us to realize that albeit all the infrastructures and technologies, trees should remain as an integral part of our society hence, it must now remain as rural treasure alone. You may not know about it yet nor you have come to realize the abundance of benefits that come from joining a distinguished number of trees into the town spaces. Because of this purpose, businesses in different communities, municipalities and homeowners alike have joined hand in hand to achieve one goal and that is to create and maintain landscaping wherein they set aside some of the budget for the whole year to make this a possibility. As this practice keeps on growing and growing as time went on and on, the benefits that come from it have been put to study and eventually, was brought to light. Based on a real-world position, when trees are landscaped, this actually benefits any average homeowners out there in several ways that can imagine. If you are a homeowner who have decided to plant a tree on the eastern as well as the wester side of your home, this is actually beneficial to you as it can provide shade and a cool environment during the hot days of summer and at the same time, providing a windbreak that keeps your home warm during the cold days of winter. And because your home is protected and taken care of by the trees you have, you heating system and cooling system can now take their rest and this will eventually end you up having a reduced bill. And also, there goes the fact that all tees that are landscaped and are placed properly and correctly are known for being a superb way of controlling climate, particularly to those who have private properties. Given sufficient space for planting, homeowners can now decide to have their own organic food source right at the food of their property, which they can achieve by planting trees that can bear fruit or even shrubs. And if they plan on having their house sold, the presence of trees that are well-landscaped will increase its value.

Forced Bulbs
Can forced bulbs be stored and reused the following season? Thanks.
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
You need to make sure that they get plenty of sunlight and are well fertilized when the leaves are still green. This is how they store their energy for next season. Once the leaves have faded to yellow, you can store them for next year. Some varieties of bulbs, like daffodils and crocus, need to be chilled before they can bloom again. To chill them, you need to place them in the fridge (veggie drawer is best) for at least 6 weeks.

As two hours of a physically as well as mentally exhausting game were coming to an end and the players were getting tired, it took one defensive error in the Dutch penalty area that was scooped up by Spain... and Iniesta, with the composure of a surgeon, turned that moment into one that will be etched in Spain's history and ensured that his name will be counted amongst the legends of Spanish football.
My heart goes out to the Dutch. Netherlands were by far the most enterprising team through the tournament... and had a 100% record right from the qualifying stages to the World Cup Finals. They just did not have the energy in the end to land their foot across the finish line.
The game itself, was a curious mix of unconverted opportunities and a lot of yellow cards (as well as a red at the end). The referee used his yellow card 14 times in 2 hours, once along with a red. Both the sides, surprisingly, were rather unconvincing in their opponent's penalty area. The referee too did not have an easy match... and at the end of it all, the Dutch fans let their frustration be known by booing the Englishman Howard Webb when he went on stage to collect his medallion.
Not only the Dutch crowd, but even the Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk and their midfielder Arjen Robben lashed out. Both were specifically upset that Webb has failed to book Carlos Puyol for the second time when he had his arm around Arjen Robben as he looked to get one-on-one with the Spanish keeper Iker Casillas. Van Marwijk was simple in his assessment: "I don't think the referee controlled the match well." And Robben was not too discreet when he said: "When you play in a World Cup final, you also need a world-class referee."
But, there was no doubt at the end (the Dutch coach agreed as much) that the better and the more deserving team was crowned the World Champion. The top goal-scorer David Villa, the finals goal-scorer and man-of-the-match Andres Iniesta and the ever-reliable workhorse Xavi set the foundation on which Spain built its success. Carlos Puyol, Gerard Pique and Iker Casillas were fantastic at the back. And Sergio Ramos was brilliant at the back as well as wide on the right while attacking.
This year is turning out to be even more beautiful than 2008 for the Spanish sports fans. In 2008, Rafael Nadal won the French Open, the Wimbledon and the gold in Beijing Olympics, Spain were ranked 14th in that Olympics with 5 Golds, 10 Silver and 3 Bronze, they won the Davis Cup and of course, the football team won the European Championships... their first major international football title.
In 2010, Nadal has managed to duplicate his 2008 feat (minus the Olympic medal, of course) and Spain has already been crowned the Champions of the World in football... a glory that they have never seen before.
The World Cup has drawn to a close now... and South Africa must be congratulated on hosting a brilliant event. Just 12 months backs, there were fears that it might not be a success, there were security issues just a few months back and there must have been myriad other obstacles, but just as the Rainbow Nation's history suggests, they overcame everything. CONGRATULATIONS TO SPAIN AND CONGRATULATIONS TO SOUTH AFRICA!

The fifth international meeting of the Malines Conversations Group took place in Cambridge, UK, between Sunday 19th March and Thursday 23rd March 2017. Under the patronage of Cardinal Godfried Danneels (Archbishop Emeritus of Malines-Brussels) and The Right Reverend and Right Honourable The Lord Williams of Oystermouth (former Archbishop of Canterbury), this informal group comprises Anglican and Roman Catholic theologians from seven different countries and meets with the blessing and support of the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of Christian Unity and Lambeth Palace. It includes members of both ARCIC and IARCCUM. Last year's meeting in Rome considered questions of ecclesiology, sacramentality and orders, whilst this year's gathering continued to develop these themes whilst focussing in particular on discerning and developing methodology.
The Group was welcomed to Clare College, Cambridge, for Choral Evensong at which the preacher was The Very Revd Vivienne Faull, Dean of York, and for a dinner at which the Earl of Halifax spoke movingly about his ecumenically-pioneering great-Grandfather. The Group is also grateful for the welcome of King's and Corpus Christi colleges, and for the hospitality extended to them by the Bishop of Ely, the Master of Trinity Hall, and the Master of Magdalene College, Lord Williams. Mgr Mark Langham, Catholic Chaplain to Cambridge University, celebrated the Eucharist with the group at Fisher House before offering them lunch.
During seminars and conversations, the group reflected on methodologies to "under-tunnel" some of the more complex remaining questions between the Anglican Communion and the Catholic Church. The group was guided in its thinking about scripture by The Revd Dr Will Lamb, Vice Principal of Westcott House, and in considering Patristic tradition by The Revd Dr Anders Bergquist. Canonical questions, in particular relating to the 1896 Bull Apostolicae Curae, were discussed in detail with two distinguished canonists The Revd Dr James Conn SJ and Professor Norman Doe. The group also continued its discussions on gender and ordination led by The Revd Professor Sarah Coakley (Norris Hulse Professor of Divinity at Cambridge) and Professor Paul Murray (of Durham University).
The meeting took place within the context of daily prayer in Clare College Chapel, as well as in joining the congregation at Ely Cathedral for Choral Evensong.
The Malines Conversation Group is immensely grateful to all its sponsors and supporters, Anglican and Catholic alike. A sixth meeting is planned for next Spring, in New Jersey, USA.

Type 2 diabetes is a progressive disease of insulin resistance and B-cell failure (cells that store and produce insulin) resulting in a continued and progressive need to intensify diabetes therapies to maintain glycemic (blood sugar) control. Eventually most people with type 2 diabetes require insulin replacement therapy. This is generally initiated with basal (background) insulin and, if needed, bolus (mealtime) insulin is introduced to address the high blood sugar after a meal.1 This "basal-bolus" insulin therapy is most frequently administered by multiple daily injections (MDI) with an insulin syringe or pen device. Unfortunately MDI therapy can be challenging and patient compliance and persistence with MDI therapy is frequently inadequate.2 Potential barriers to MDI, which can result in suboptimal glycemic control, include; having to take multiple injections, interference of injections with daily activities, injection pain and embarrassement.2 As a result many people using MDI therapy do not achieve target glycemic control.3
Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy using an insulin pumps addresses many of the barriers associated with MDI therapy and could result in enhanced adherence. In type 1 diabetes, CSII therapy has shown benefits over MDI therapy including improved glycemic control, reduced glycemic variability, higher quality of life and has become standard of care.4,5,6 Several studies have assessed CSII therapy in type 2 diabetes; consistent with type 1 diabetes, these studies have shown improved glycemic control and improved quality of life compared to their baseline values at initiation of CSII therapy.7-12 Despite these positive findings, CSII has not been widely used in T2DM. The extensive training required to use these pumps and the up-front cost of over $7,500 can be a formidable barrier to patients with type 2 diabetes.13 Current insulin pumps can be programmed to deliver up to 48 different basal infusion rates per day in increments as small as 0.025 units. Although having multiple basal rates and the ability to deliver very precise increments is important for many patients with type 1 diabetes, data from recently published studies have found patients' with type 2 diabetes are able to achieve good glycemic control with one or two daily basal rates.12,14
New simple to use insulin infusion devices, such as PaQ, have been developed to provide the benefits of CSII therapy without the complexity and up front expense. In addition, PaQ has been designed to reduce the barriers and challenges of daily insulin injection therapy to enable people to achieve target glycemic control. Click to see clinical performance.

Archive for June, 2008
This week should be a celebration. This week should have seen the 10th anniversary DVD release of one of the best loved, and most thrilling action adventure movies of recent times. In this perfect world, we'd be onto the third or fourth adventure for a crime fighting duo who do everything in style, and the series would be pushing Bond and Bourne for the title of biggest spy adventure franchise.
We don't live in that world though. We live in the world where a movie adaptation of one of the best loved TV series of all time was handed over to a director with no experience of big budget summer movies, an enthusiastic producer shackled by the needs of the studio to demographically tailor a unique movie and the whims of test screenings.
Welcome to the world of The Avengers…
On its release in August 1998 The Avengers died a painful, but thankfully swift death. It was suppoosed to be Warner Bros. BIG summer movie, released in the middle of June. But following disastrous previews, the film was yanked back to the summer graveyard of late August, shorn of almost an hour (losing plot points, scenes, characters and any narrative coherence), and generally abandoned by the studio. Already stung by negative reports pre-release, Warners decided to ditch the film into cinemas without any previews.
What emerged was an interesting, but ultimately flawed attempt, to capture a fascinating piece of TV history: 60s style shot through with state of the art effects.
Ask people now about The Avengers and they'll probably screw their faces up and say "it was crap", "a travesty" or more likely "I never bothered to watch it". Which is perhaps telling.
It lingers in the depths of imdb's rankings (currently 3.4) but so few people have seen it in comparison to its big budget peers that it's difficult to judge its worth. Now I know what you're thinking "If so few people went to see it, then it must be rubbish" to which I have two words: Shawshank Redemption. That perennial 'best film of all time' contender took a mere $700,000 on it's opening weekend, compared to The Avengers $10M, and barely scraped together it's budget on it's cinema run. So that argument is cobblers and I'll here no more about it.
Saying that, The Avengers is no 'lost' classic in the realm of Shawshank or The Thing. Films like this were criminally ignored on their initial release and later found a more appreciative audience. The Avengers is NOT like that.
Assessing The Avengers merits is difficult in its current form, since it's clearly not the film that was intended to be released. In his excellent book, Blockbuster, Tom Shone talks at length about the tortuous process of bringing Arnold Schwarzenegger's notorious flop Last Action Hero to the screen. He concludes by saying that the film didn't need re-shoots, test screenings or market research, "it needed finishing". The same is true of The Avengers.
The whole debacle warrants a study of its own, since it is indicative of all that's wrong with Hollywood. Warners had a product, or a brand which they knew they could exploit. Rumours of an Avengers film had abounded for years. Names like Mel Gibson, Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant had been bandied around as potential stars. People, allegedly, wanted to see the film. The fans, of which there are millions, were not so keen. The Avengers is held in high regard of a kind probably only matched by that other iconic 60s series, The Prisoner.
So what Warners realised they had to do was make a movie which would have broad appeal, but also placate the fans baying for blood. It was at this point that Warners should have taken a look at one of the Avengers' brothers in arms, the Bond series. Whilst the series had begun with clever, respectful adaptations of Flemings novels, it had quickly established an identity of its own, far removed from the source. Attempts to meld the two (On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Licence to Kill) were met with critical aclaim but box office disaster (of course this was completely changed with the triumphant Casino Royale in 2006, but the movie landscape in 1998 was very different). Another good example is the disasterous attempt to reinvent Doctor Who for an American audience in 1996.
According to various internet sources, the movie that director Jeremiah Chechick delivered is actually a fairly good attempt at capturing this mythical combination of wildly different audiences. The problem was Warners decided to 'test' the film.
Test screenings are usually held for lowest common denominator audiences, since they make up the bulk of a film's box office potential. Unfortunately, they are also the ones least likely to accept anything new, original or remotely different to what they've seen before.
As a result The Avengers became another generic action movie, where its intrinsic qualities (Britishness, style) became quirks. Remember the scene in Last Action Hero where the police department is pairing off its cops into wacky 'buddy movie' combinations? (You probably don't since no one saw that misunderstyood film either.) Well, I suspect that's how the suits viewed The Avengers.
As a huge fan of the TV series I'm suppossed to loathe the film, and I don't. I feel sorry for it. There is potential there that is either squandered or misused.
For a start, Thurman is horribly miscast. I know they have to cast an American in one of the main roles, but surely not as Steed or Peel. Surely the villain would have been more appropriate asan American? Wouldn't that have been more fitting for the piece? Thurman's casting probably damaged the film even more as a result of her appearance in the dog of all dogs, Batman and Robin, the previous summer.
Ralph Fiennes seems an excellent choice on paper, but appears oddly out of place. For a start, I don't think he's got the right build for Steed. Yes, Steed is a debonair character, but he's also imposing. Fiennes is not in anyway imposing.
Sean Connery, as the villain August DeWinter, is clearly thinking only of the paycheck, but has fun with his rare villainous role. Jim Broadbent is, as always, excellent as Mother. And the casting of Eddie Izzard and Shaun Ryder as henchmen is inspired, if only they'd given them (Izzard in particular) more to do.
One thing is certain though, Chechick was NOT the right man for the job. Much was made at the time of the enthsiasm he and producer Jerry Weintraub had for the original series. That's all well and good, but for the movie you need a director who is comfortable with action and who's idea of quirky isn't ripping off old Charlie Chaplin skits.
Ideally the director should have been British. I don't know who was approached, or who expressed an interest in it, but I can't help feeling someone like Mike Newell or Mike Figgis might have been a good bet. If warners insisted on an American (which they probably did), Barry Sonnenfeld (Men In Black) would have been ideal.
The aftermath was not pretty. The critics mauled it. I recently read some of the user comments on imdb, and one person said 'if you think the reaction here (USA) was bad, you should have seen how it was treated in Britain'. You wouldn't wish the reaction on your worst enemy.
On opening day, the news was full of it. Normally if the mainstream media pick up on your film its a godsend. In the case of The Avengers, it was the final nail in the coffin full of bad publicity. Publicity, it should be added, of a film NO ONE had seen. It really was quite extraordinary. I remember Channel Four News reporting on it, interviewing people coming out of a West End screening. Obviously the three people they spoke to all hated it. They concluded their report by criticising the fact that Izzard only had one line (nay, one word). The press mocked the Independent newspaper for running a promotional tie-in, with the offer of free tickets to 'judge for yourself'.
I myself went to the first showing at my local cinema, where I sat with just 3 other people, one of whom left about halfway through.
As I said right at the top, the whole thing is near forgotten now. The film is condemned to saturday afternoon screenings on Channel Five, the bargain bin in supermarkets and perrenial bad movie lists.
What it deserves is a chance. There are currently several online petitions to get the director's cut released as a proper 10th anniversary DVD set. I suspect this is unlikely, as probably no one involved wants to talk about the movie again.
Chechik lost himself for a few years, returning to make a living in TV. Weintraub had is contract at Warners cancelled (as a result of both The Avengers and another big budget flop, Soldier), only to return a few years later with Oceans 11. He is allegedly behind remakes of Westworld and Oh God! (I suspect he may be the washed-up former producer 'Jerry' referred to in Art Linson's excellent memoir What Just Happened?)
Uma Thurman also went AWOL for a while, and now only seems to able to give a good performance when Quentin Tarantino is behind the camera.
If you've never seen it, I implore you to give it a chance. It's certainly no worse than most of the tripe served up as entertainment these days. It's easily better than any of the Star Wars prequels, either of the Matrix sequels, Die Another Day, Spiderman 3…
Its the kind of film that doesn't get made anymore. A genuine risk taker that the studio wasn't prepared to take a chance on and ended up as generic pap with an intriguing coating.
If you're interested, here's the link to the online petition:
This is one of the few supportive websites out there
Unfortunately, due a certain similar sounding comic book movie which is apparently iminent, it's quite hard to find decent Avengers movie websites now. But I did manage to stumble across Warners original website. Most fo the content is now dead, but it gives a fascinating insight into web marketing in 1998

This is so that the mix, quality, temperature and all the other variables can be carefully monitored and controlled to consistently produce the distinctive PINK 47 taste and finish.Alcohol Volume- 47 % Bottle Size- 5 cl Type- Gin Country Of Origin- UK EAN- 5011995002974 Brand - Pink 47 London Dry Gin

Because he is a lot faster than you
Finally, first solo flight! It was slated originally for Sunday (all my cross country stuff is currently slated for Sundays); however, the weather was forecast to be too windy for my endorsement. A plane was available to do it Saturday; I went ahead and took advantage of it. Even still, wind was borderline - by the time I had the plane preflighted, and started listening to the weather, the wind was gusting more than allowed. An hour wait later, and I was off.
My first solo "cross country" was fairly short distance wise, and to an airport I've been to before - Modesto. (Nice folks there!). Drawing on my previous trip there, I rerouted things such that all the distinguishable landmarks would be on my left, where I have much better visibility. Checkpoints would include my usual Franklin Field (it just happens to be on both sides of the map; and the map stops a mere 12 miles south of my home airport before needing to be flipped over); Flagg City and Lodi (in particular, interstate 5 and highway 12 area); then outskirts of Stockton and the i-5/205 (to SF) junction; final leg would be aiming directly at the Modesto airport. Everything went to plan, and my arrival time was off by a minute.
Returning was much more direct; Modesto to the right edge of Stockton; a few degrees to the right to go just barely over Lodi (to avoid any skydivers at Lodi Skypark); and direct to Franklin and Sacramento. I must have rushed through the plan on this one as my angles were dead on even with wind correction but my times were way off. I also had difficulty opening my flight plan on the ground over the radio - Rancho Radio doesn't pick up pilots on the ground at that location. The tower staff were kind enough to phone it in for me. My instructor told me later that for Modesto you have to open your flight plan once you're in the air.
A minor bit of amusement was just before I reached Franklin on the way back home .. Norcal Approach advised me to descend immediately from 4,500 to 4,000.. "because the plane behind you is a lot faster." That's the sort of instruction you act on immediately, then read back the instructions they gave you for confirmation. Since I was close to my descent point anyways, I requested permission to descend all the way down to 1000 feet, which would get me out of the way of any other heavy aircraft who were heading to Sacramento International.
Still on the todo list: one long cross country solo (probably to Chico and Redding); and one night long cross country with my instructor. Apparently I don't do night time solo until after I have my license.

text: I just came across a new die that I just had to have. The one I used here is made by Stampin' Up and is called Thinlits – Label Card. The die makes this flip card. I just love dies so had to have this one. I decided to use two colors from the Basis line for this card. The two vibrant colors I decided to put together is the Teal and Pink . With the Cover A Card stamps from Impression Obsession any plain paper can become designer paper in the color you want.

Top 15 Amazing Property Expenses Spreadsheet For Students
Property Expenses Spreadsheet – The simplest way of interpreting a worksheet is that it is a mono spreadsheet that is present into the package provided by Microsoft. It consists of various rows or columns that spread out within the page also create for space that help people fill data. A worksheet begins with the column or the row. The merger amongst column and row called cell, the first cell are A1. This helps in tracking of all the information on the screen.
The cell could fill number, text, or formula. The block of cells named range. It also has the capacity of referencing the same number of cell in the same worksheet, moreover in the case of a distinct workbook or the same one. It assist to place information at a single location and then locate it without any problems. Another way of interpreting this package is that a worksheet is a single unit serve within the workbook. More than 1 worksheets collectively make a workbook and then help in making the system more reliable.
Another appealing thing to know is that people get to have some worksheets within one workbook or even on a single worksheet they get the possibility of around one million rows also 1.6 million columns. Most of the times one spreadsheet is ample for a company to manage all their data, a workbook is sufficient to maintain all the information within a department, and a worksheet is enough to have a particular project or its information at one place relying on the needs.

OK, so when Tucker wakes from sedation...watch out!! He is a bucking bronco that cannot be tamed. Again the cloralhydrate was used last night to put him out.....
Plans for today are, weaing down the vent. We will wean down 2 notches each day and look for extabation around Friday. This will allow Tuck to be much more comfy, be able to be awake and wean the sedation off. They will start feeding him more through the belly and take the TPN (iv nutrition) away. His central IV is day 8 so the nurses have to wear protective gear...it is just a precaution. The longer IV's are in the more they become infection prone. Went up on the methodone and the adavan again, he just isnt staying sedated. Now he gets 2.4 every two hours of each, alternating. Plus he is on a constant drip of dex, also a sedation drug.
So we have a drug addict on my hand and he needs more and more to satisfy his needs.....and getting him off will be ever so slow.

Our pets offer us unquestioning loyalty and show us endearing patience each and every day. My dog, Luna LoveGood, is a 2 year old Miniature Poodle/Bichon and she adds so much joy to my home I can not imagine life without her by my side. She is family and at Professional Pet People we want the opportunity to treat your pet like our family too. When I come home after a busy day of pet visits and I see Luna wagging her tail with excitement, I know that is her way of expressing her unconditionally love.
At Professional Pet People it does not matter if your pet is young, energetic and loves getting into trouble or older and more mellow, they will be treated with the same love and attention as we treat our own pets. If it is a walk around the block, playing in the back yard, feeding or clean-up you can be sure your pet is being taking care of with love in your own home.
I like to get to know your pets better before our "meet & greet" so would prefer that you let me know what kind of pets you have, their name, and I would love a photo of them! - Lisa Miller
Thank you! I look forward to talking with you about your pet service needs and will be reaching out promptly. Typically within 24-48 hours.- Lisa Miller

Day By Day
Day 1 – USA to Papeete
Today you will begin your Swain Destinations customized itinerary. Please note, international air has not been included in this package price.
On arrival you are met and greeted with a traditional flower lei and transferred to your overnight accommodation in Papeete.
Papeete, the capital and commercial hub of French Polynesia, hosts the government offices, hospitals, banks, airline and travel agencies, boutiques and black pearl shops. The Central Market (Marché Central) is a must, located 1 block behind the waterfront. You will see traditional Tahitian crafts, flowers, fruits, fish and other produce. The waterfront is attractive, with a tree lined promenade along a marina with an international yachting community.
Starting Accommodation:
Tahiti Airport Motel
Day 2 – Papeete to Moorea
Transfer to the domestic terminal for the 10-minute flight to Moorea. On arrival you will be transferred to your accommodation.
Less than 10 minutes away from Tahiti by air or less than one hour by ferry are the deep, spectacular bays and white sand beaches of Moorea. The craggy volcanic peaks, reflected in the tranquil waters of Cook's Bay and Oponohu Bay, rise like a shark's jaw from the island's basaltic base. The lush mountain slopes are covered with rain forest or pineapple plantations, and white sand beaches border crystalline lagoons.
Starting Accommodation:
Hotel Les Tipaniers (B)
Day 3 – Circle Island Tour with Belvedere
Moorea, which means 'Yellow Lizard' in Tahitian is a triangular island. The northern side is punctuated by two lareg bays – Cooks and Opunohu.
On today's excursion, we make a stop at a Pineapple plantation to learn about this famous and most important resource on Moorea. Continue to the Belvedere, with a stop at a 'Marae' (ancient open air temple) to learn about the ancestral customs. From the Belvedere, experience the panoramic views overlooking the Cook and Oponohu Bays, and over the Rotui Mountain.
Visit the Agricultural School and discover the variety of local fruits, trees and flowers before returning to your accommodation.
Starting Accommodation:
Hotel Les Tipaniers
Day 4 – Moorea to Bora Bora
Transfer to the airport for your flight to Bora Bora, where you are met and transferred to your accommodation.
Bora Bora – Unquestionably the most mythical of the Pacific islands remains the island of all dreams. So much has been written about Bora Bora, and yet it is hard to find the right words to describe the magic that emanates from this island.
Seen from the air, the view has been compared to that of "a tiny emerald in a setting of turquoise, encircled by a sheltering necklace of sparkling pearls". The airport, built by US forces in 1942, is located on a palm fringed motu about 20 minutes by boat from the main village of Vaitape. The view of the main island from the airport is truly breathtaking, and as you travel across the spectacular lagoon you will soon understand why it is the main area of attraction for most visitors.
Starting Accommodation:
Hotel Matira
Day 5 – Lagoonarium and Shark Watching Tour
Travel around the island of Bora Bora by outrigger canoe, cruising the most beautiful lagoon in the world. A stop is made near the reef to wait for young sharks, which are attracted by the smell of fish thrown into the water. Equipped with snorkel gear, you may enjoy the underwater view of those sharks and the colorful corals around the site.
From here the tour continues to the natural lagoonarium. Each kind of tropical fish has their own park: Rays and sharks, turtles, giant mussels, lobsters and many varieties of multi-colored fish. Fresh local fruits and coconut drinks will be offered, and you have time to walk around this small island, before the return to your hotel.
Starting Accommodation:
Hotel Matira (L)
Day 6 – At leisure, Bora Bora
This day is at your leisure. Explore the surrounding area on your own or on one of our
additional day excursions
Starting Accommodation:
Hotel Matira
Day 7 – Bora Bora to USA (Via Papeete)

Our Local History room holds a wealth of information about Budleigh Salterton and the villages of the Lower Otter Valley contained in the files in the study area and on a P.C. containing our digital records. A microfiche reader is available by appointment which holds parish registers for our locality.
Personal assistance is available on Tuesday afternoons.
For our 2019 exhibition we are devoting all the local history space to one topic, 'The Changing Face of the High Street'.
Last exhibited in 1999 many changes have taken place to our shops since then.
We are able to show once again the hand drawn frieze of all the buildings in the High Street, created by Elizabeth Gawne in 1974 and given a new lease of life for this exhibition.
Also back by popular request will be the Myra Pyne tablecloth, dating from the 1980's containing the embroidered signatures of many well known residents, many of them shopkeepers in the High Street.
To bring this all together we are displaying a collection of paintings to celebrate the life of the late Ken Walker a well known artist of our town. Kindly loaned to us by various shops, owners and Ken's family.
See the exhibition dedicated to our Railway Station, now closed for 50 years, including rare film footage of the line from Sidmouth Junction to Exmouth.
See the changing aspects of the River Otter.
