Ed. Note: BlogHer is soliciting questions on the Obama Administration and education from their readers for a live online video chat tomorrow here at WhiteHouse.gov. Go join their thread, and come back at 11:30AM EST tomorrow for the chat with Domestic Policy Advisor Melody Barnes.
This morning the President and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan paid a visit to Graham Road Elementary School in Falls Church, Virginia where they had a chat with about 30 6th grade students. The conversation put a face to the people they were trying to help with the President's latest investment of more than a billion dollars in next year's budget to amp up the President’s "Race to the Top" program – a competition to incentivize success that has already generated an overwhelming response from states, with over 30 states expected to compete for first-round funding.
You can learn more about Graham Road in the White House background release, but the school made a mark on its community by implementing a comprehensive strategy to turn around student achievement, adopting rigorous and high-quality student assessments, teacher evaluation and professional development, along with innovative and effective use of data systems to track student performance. As a result, in 2008 all of the school's sixth-graders met Virginia's reading standards, and 96 percent met math standards, despite being one of the lowest income schools in the county. The expansion of Race to the Top comes with a plan to encourage precisely this kind of visionary change in schools that apply for the challenge.
In his remarks after the meeting with students, the President explained how it all works, and the logic behind "Race to the Top":
Last year, we set aside more than $4 billion to improve our schools -- one of the largest investments in reform in our nation's history. But we didn't just hand this money out to states that wanted it; we challenged them to compete for it. And it's the competitive nature of this initiative that we believe helps make it so effective. We laid out a few key criteria and said if you meet these tests, we'll reward you by helping you reform your schools.
First, we encouraged states to adopt more challenging standards that will actually prepare our kids for college and their careers. We also encouraged schools to adopt better assessments -- not just one-size-fits-all approaches -- to measure what our kids know and what they're able to do.
Second, we urged schools and school districts to make sure we have excellent principals leading our schools and great teachers leading our classes by promoting rigorous plans to develop and evaluate teachers and principals and by rewarding their success.
Third, we urged states to use cutting-edge data systems to track a child's progress throughout their academic career, and to link that child's progress to their teachers so we know what's working and what's not working in the classroom. Fourth, we encouraged states to show a stronger commitment to turning around some of their lowest-performing schools.
And even before states have received a single dime of taxpayer money, many of them have committed to instituting important reforms to better position themselves for a Race to the Top grant. Forty-eight states have now joined a nationwide partnership to develop a common set of rigorous, career-ready standards in reading and math. Wisconsin has enacted legislation permitting schools to link student achievement to the performance of teachers and principals. In Illinois, Louisiana, Tennessee, California, we've seen changes in laws or policies to let public charter schools expand and succeed. These are public schools with more independence that are formed by teachers, parents, and community members.
So by rewarding some of these states submitting applications today, by extending the Race to the Top for states, by launching a Race to the Top among school districts, and by applying the principles of Race to the Top to other federal programs, we'll build on this success. We're going to raise the bar for all our students and take bigger steps towards closing the achievement gap that denies so many students, especially black and Latino students, a fair shot at their dreams.

A beautifully detailed bronze representation of Queen Medb.
Medb, from the early modern Irish Meadhbh, can be translated to mean “she who intoxicates.” Anglicized, this name is sometimes written as Maeve, Mave, or similar spellings, and in some cases she was known simply as Queen of Connacht.
In Celtic mythology, Medb was Queen of Connacht, the great villain of the Ulster Cycle. Cunning and strong, she ruled Western Ireland and came to dominate much of the island. Her struggles with her former husband, Conchobar of Ulster, put her in direct conflict with Cú Chulainn.
Medb was a powerful queen who was stronger than many of her suitors and consorts, both physically and mentally. These attributes were also used to describe a similarly named Irish goddess of sovereignty, who ruled over Tara, where the High Kings of Ireland were crowned, which indicates that there may have been a connection between the two stories.
Medb’s personality was strong and she demanded three things of all her suitors and husbands: that there be no fear, meanness, or jealousy towards her. She had many lovers, a testament to her beauty and desirability.
Medb was quite similar to several Queens of the Amazon, such as Hippolyta, and other warrior goddesses from myths across the world. As an Irish sovereignty goddess, she shared that role with Macha, Badb, Danu, the Cailleach, and the Morrígan.
Medb may be the inspiration for Queen Mab of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, who has since become a popular figure in fairy lore.

It was originally ruled an accidental fire, but now police and fire say it's an arson and three years after the fire there has been an arrest.
Investigators say it was a conspiracy to cash in on the insurance and bail the owner out of $100,000 worth of debt.
54 year old George Hickey of Lexington lost his home on Garrett Avenue in September of 2007.
At the time Hickey allegedly told police a pot left on the stove caused the fire.
According to a warrant however, an arson investigator from Lexington Fire received information that the fire was part of a three person conspiracy to pay off 2 people so the other can collect the insurance.
The warrant says during an interview this April, Hickey changed his story from a pot on the stove to oil being poured over the stove as the cause of the fire.
Police and fire investigators also interviewed Elizabeth Green who says Freddie Johnson, Hickey's former accountant, was paid $3,000 to start the fire.
Green claims, in the warrant, she was with Johnson when the fire was set, saying before the fire, the two emptied all the jewelry boxes in the home.
Earlier this month investigators say they interviewed Johnson at police headquarters.
Johnson allegedly told them he never started the fire, Green did and she was the one who took the $3,000.
The warrant states Johnson arranged to have the insurance for the fire deposited in the company's business account.
According to the warrant Johnson confessed to writing a $3,000 check to Green as payment for the arson.
Police say Johnson told them Hickey was trying to get money to pay off his $100,000 debt.
Investigators conclude George Hickey, Freddie Johnson, and Elizabeth Green worked together to start the fire in 2007.
Only Hickey has been charged with arson. He pleaded not guilty.

Before I get into the restaurant round-up, you can read a Q&A by The Nut-Free Mom on the site Food Allergy Assistant today. I really appreciated being featured on this site--it's a great resource written by a mom who has a lot of experience with food allergies so be sure to check it out!
And now, as promised, I've got some more restaurants recommended by blog readers. I thought I'd offer some pizza joints since lots of people with nut allergies rely on pizza (including my family) as a safe go-to food when dining out. The only thing you need to be careful of is "gourmet" pizza since it often contains pine nuts or things like pesto sauce. Keep it simple seems to be the best pizza policy for nut allergies.
I received several nut-free pizza recommendations from readers, so here are the top 4 mentioned: Pizzeria Uno, Papa John's, Aurelio's Pizza and Girodano's. Aurelio's and Giordano's and Pizzeria Uno also have gluten free menus available.
Coincidentally, I just received my latest issue of Living Without magazine and it had a feature story about dining out with food allergies with a sidebar list of restaurants with gluten-free menus. The magazine suggested that a place that offers gluten-free food usually will be able to accommodate other food allergies and sensitivities. Since nuts are often a big part of a gluten-free diet, I'm not sure I agree completely with that, but it's a good sign if a restaurant already anticipates customers with dietary restrictions.
With summer travel in the near future for many families, I also want to mention two kid-friendly restaurants that you will find in Chicago and other big cities as well. Weber Grill Restaurant offers a gluten-free menu and will accommodate nut allergies. Of course, please check each item when you get to the restaurant, but it looks like their menu does not contain a lot of nuts or peanuts. I've heard good things about this restaurant from other nut-allergic diners.
For those of you with young daughters, you won't want to miss American Girl Place Cafe. They go out of their way to accommodate food allergies. In fact, when you call for a reservation, they even ask if you have anyone in the party with allergies. Along the way they will point to each menu item and tell you what's safe and what isn't. We've been there several times and my daughter was in hog heaven. They really treat food-allergic diners well. I know the store can be a hit to the old wallet, but the Cafe is really a treat and the food is generally very good.
Please always ask about ingredients and carry your medications when you visit any restaurant and know that in dining out there are no guarantees. I feel like I have to say that because I don't want anyone letting their guard down! Still, it's very encouraging to see restaurants branching out and trying to satisfy all types of diners. I hope this continues.
Of course, please let us know your stories! Thanks.

And they came back year after year, as flowers faded to reveal fat seed-pods that dried, split and found a cozy home in the soil.
Gradually, I began to notice that each year's sweet pea crop was becoming more predominated by one color - a deep red-violet. Evolution - or devolution - had wiped out the more delicate strains of pale pink, cherry red or blue sweet peas, and left only this strong elemental variety - vigorous and strongly scented.
Observing the process of evolution through sweet peas is not a new idea - my high school science teacher taught us about Gregor Mendel, whose experiments with another pea species, pisum sativum, pioneered the modern theories of genetics.
It's been almost fifteen years since I threw those packages of seeds into my garden, and over the years the crop has diminished, due in part to Marcielo's diligent practices of winter garden cleaning. But here and there, a few remain, and twine up through the cistus or the rosemary, and give us the gift of their beauty and scent.

What outlet BC to use for a numerical wave tank with a velocity inlet?
Join Date: Jan 2011
Posts: 1Rep Power: 0
Hello forum members,
I'm busy developing a 2D VOF model to depict the propagation of water waves in a numerical wave tank. I'm having boundary condition problems (I think ).
Flow enters the domain through a velocity inlet on the left and I have a wall at the bottom. I have a pressure inlet at the top, as recommended on this forum and other sources. Why should one not use a pressure outlet here?
I want to absorb the generated wave on the right of the domain through numerical diffusion by letting the resolution of my grid get progressively worse and also prescribing the static pressure at the pressure outlet to that of the still water condition.
I set my backflow volume fraction at by my velocity inlet and pressure outlet on the right.
For some reason I'm getting a gale force wind in my air phase and crazy pressure conditions over my domain. If there is anyone out there that has experience with this type of simulation I would greatly appreciate any input you are willing to share with me.
Thank you in advance,

TIGHT TISSUE SYNDROME
by Dr. Lawrence Wilson
August 2015, L.D. Wilson Consultants, Inc.
information in this article is for educational purposes only. It is not for the diagnosis, treatment,
prescription or cure of any disease or health condition.
Definition. The fascia is a set of layers of connective tissue
that covers all of the muscles and organs of the body. When these fascia layers are adhered to
each other, and to the organs and ligaments and tendons below, the fascia
contracts a little, and looks and feels tight. This situation is called tight
tissue syndrome or a tight core.
also looks somewhat compressed or contracted to the bones, almost as though it
is shrink-wrapped. Such
individuals appear wiry, and are usually very thin.
FOR A TIGHT CORE
situation can begin in early childhood.
Nutritional problems may contribute, such as low zinc and elevated
tissue copper. Often, it results
from a trauma, such as rape, and this can be at any age.
deplete zinc, often within a few minutes.
This is well known in medicine, in situations such as burns on the
body. Zinc depletion, all by
itself, can raise the tissue copper level as these two elements are always in a
balance in the body.
calming and balancing, while copper build-up is always associated with fear in
the body. A tight core is a
response to a fearful situation, at least in most cases. The body looks fearful, contracted,
withdrawn and holding itself tightly to protect the core.
technical term to describe these individual is adhered. It means that the fascia layers, and
perhaps other layers of tissue in the body, are sort of stuck together and do
not move one over the other properly and easily. They can seem “glued together”.
the body are somewhat common, and always related to copper imbalance. Copper is intimately involved in
connective tissue health.
Specifically, copper damages the disulfide (S = S) bonds that are the
basis for all connective tissue in the body. Adhesion patterns are interesting. For more, please read Adhesions
on this website.
A tight core
can and may always be a compensation for feeling somewhat shattered
inside. It is as though the normal
way the body stays together has been broken apart or shattered. The adhesions that constitute a tight
core or tight tissues is a substitute method of holding the body together.
It is as
though the basic integrity of the body has been damaged. Humpty-Dumpty has fallen off the wall,
and putting him back together is not possible. Therefore, the body requires “glue”, in the form of
adhesions, to go on living at all.
with enough of the pushing exercise and a complete nutritional balancing
program, it is possible to put Humpty-Dumpty back together again, but it may
take 20 or 30 years to do so. In
the meantime, a tight core holds everything together and can keep the essence
of a person safe.
WITH TIGHT TISSUES
syndrome impairs one’s health and can shorten a person’s lifespan. The problem is that nutrients cannot
reach the tissues properly, and metabolic waste products may not be able to be
removed properly from the body.
Also, their breathing is often shallow, causing low oxygen tension in
the body. The tightness of the
tissues also closes some energy channels in the body and so these people can
age early, and often look older than their age, especially the women.
It is a type
of “shell” pattern and they must work to
break down the shell and become more comfortable in the body, or they often
develop cancers early in life and may die young.
more yang pattern. Tight tissue
syndrome, as I sometimes call it, is a more yang condition of the body, and
yang is generally beneficial.
However, it is not a healthy yang.
Instead, it is a “dryness” pattern. Dryness is more yang, but these individuals tend to be too
dry, with somewhat dry skin and an overall feeling of being dried out. This is more apparent on the hands and
feet, for some reason, where the skin gets thin and the veins are prominent and
often purplish in color, even on young people.
OF THOSE WITH TIGHT TISSUES
tight tissue syndrome are often intelligent, kind, high-quality
individuals. They may be more yang
than average, which is helpful for their healing. However, most are sympathetic
dominant types who tend to be fearful and worry too much, and this slows
their healing progress.
qualities. Their physical
symptoms often include some aches and pains, muscle weakness to some degree,
and perhaps just tightness of their joints and ligaments. They are often somewhat constipated,
and many complain of gas and bloating due to sympathetic dominance and weaker
tight tissues have trouble building muscles, even if they work out. Exercise just exhausts them and makes
the tight tissue feeling much worse.
Vigorous exercise, in particular, is not helpful. Gentle walking is best or gentle
weights, perhaps, but not more.
appearance is often not great.
They can look like concentration camp victims, even though they may eat
plenty. The face is usually thin
and drawn-looking, even if they are attractive. This can change, however, with a nutritional balancing
program, but it takes a few years, at least, of following a program
are bony, as well. Some are
bow-legged, which is also not as attractive, so they may feel ugly even if they
are not. Others may envy them
because they are thin, but those with tight tissues invariably feel too thin,
and feel constricted in some way, which is true.
response is often somewhat compromised, and they may feel cold. This may have to do with sympathetic
dominance, which is one of their main characteristics on early hair tests.
and kidneys tend to be weak. Weak
adrenals may contribute to somewhat lower hormone levels, in general, and
especially lower testosterone in both the women and the men. Tooth decay seems to be common, and
perhaps osteopenia later in life.
the “cringing posture”. This looks
a little like a frightened cat.
This posture may cause some of them to feel small and weak, even though
they are not that weak, physically or mentally. They are often tall (over 5’ 6” or 5’ 7”), but oddly, they
feel “small” or shorter.
qualities. Many of them
feel “uncomfortable in their skin”.
Many are somewhat perfectionistic and perhaps
a bit compulsive. The word ‘anal
personality’ is sometimes used in this connection, though there is nothing
wrong with this area of their body.
They may feel like a stranger in a strange land. They usually enjoy and relate to the
article on this site entitled The Lightworkers.
They may also enjoy stories of warriors and war.
often somewhat depressed and perhaps confused. They can feel lonely or alone, even if they are in a decent
relationship. They feel they are
beautiful people inside, but they don’t look or radiate this feeling,
often. The women want to be
attractive, but do not like the attention of aggressive men. This leave the tight-tissued women with a dilemma that is quite common, especially
among younger women who would like good male friends and partners, but do not
like other men at all.
ASPECTS OF THIS SYNDROME
aspects of this syndrome are:
1. The tight
fascia layers act somewhat like a protective coating or shell. Inside, these people are often very
alive. They are often bright and,
although superficially perhaps too serious and a little depressed, inside they
are actually happier than some others, and more aware.
2. They are
also more yang than many other people, and this is a positive aspect of this
3. They are
usually capable of healing themselves if they are willing to follow a complete
nutritional balancing program.
Medical (allopathic and naturopathic) methods of healing, however, are
not very helpful for them, so they become discouraged with doctors of all
MINERAL PATTERNS WITH TIGHT TISSUES SYNDROME
oxidation. Almost all
those with tight tissues are slow oxidizers, and have been since
childhood. They go into this
pattern early in life as a result of stress and, perhaps, due to nutrient
deficiencies caused by the tight tissues.
Most have a calcium shell on their first hair analysis, and it usually persists
for a number of years, even with a complete nutritional balancing program. The tissues mirror the concept of
“living in a shell”.
dominance. This is a
fairly common autonomic nervous system imbalance that most of these individuals
have. It is difficult for them to
correct it, so it takes a while, even with a complete nutritional balancing
imbalance. Tight tissue
syndrome is related to copper imbalance.
This causes adhesions of the
fascia and other tissue layers.
For much more about copper and its relationship to connective tissue,
please read Copper Toxicity Syndrome.
OF TIGHT TISSUES OR A TIGHT CORE
A complete nutritional balancing program. It is often their only hope for a healthy life, in my
experience. They are all
nutritionally deficient, and toxic with copper and other imbalances. The proper diet is critical because
their digestion tends to be weak.
the copper balance in the body, which involves correcting the levels of a dozen
or more vital minerals, is thus a key to undoing the adhesions that are
responsible for tight tissues.
This is not a quick or easy process, even with a complete nutritional
In fact, we
are researching this because a tight core is rather difficult to reverse. It is possible, however.
The nutritional supplements.
All of the supplements nutritional balancing program supplements appear
to be helpful. For example they
all need adequate calcium and magnesium, zinc, and TMG. TMG is quite
helpful, in fact.
omega-3 fatty acids (about 900 mg daily) are also very important for them. Do not use an omega 3-6-9 product. It does not seem to work as well. Adequate vitamin D (about 5000 iu daily) is also critical.
The procedures. All of the
nutritional balancing procedures are helpful. One of the most effective methods is the Pushing Exercise (formerly called the meditation
exercise), combined with the Neck Pull
exercise. You can read more about
these methods on this website.
Foot reflexology is also quite excellent for
them. The bottom of the foot can
have a tight section in the middle of the foot, running lengthwise down the
foot that feels very tight and hard, and does not respond too well just to foot
Other procedures. Deep breathing every day is also excellent, as it tends
to open up the chest and abdomen.
One must breathe hard into the chest and abdomen, and this helps break
up some of the adhesions. This can
be done at the same time one does a coffee enemas, for example, or during each

people is not easy. It feels to
the chiropractor as though the entire spine is glued together, and often it
will not move easily. This is a
significant problem for some of them.
Two ideas that may help are: First, place the person upside down on an
inversion table. This gently
stretches the spine, and can make chiropractic adjustments go easier. Also, they may need a muscle relaxant
before a chiropractic session.
Some use a drug such as Advil, but a more physiological remedy is
valerian or chamomile to relax the entire body before the chiropractic session.
Those with a
tight core may also benefit from Rolfing or structural integration. However, women especially need to
beware of any professional bodywork sessions because of the possibility of

reliable and decent to work with.
and stretching the body are also very good. Be careful, however, not to overdo this. I do not recommend yoga, although some
of the twists used in yoga are excellent for these individuals. For more, read The Spinal Twist on this site.
body alignment in space is always an issue for those with tight tissues. The procedures above, along with
learning to stand and sit straight, are important. For much more on posture, please read Posture
on this site.
Persistence and consistency. Tight tissues or a tight core is not easy to overcome. It requires constancy and a
determination to overcome the condition.
Do not become discouraged, however, as it can be undone.

While her version of “I Knew You Were Trouble” at the AMAs was masquerade-themed, “Trouble” at the ARIAs seemed inspired by a big musical theater production — she sported a varsity jacket and used spray paint to tag the guys who are trouble (spoiler: they’re all trouble). It was fun, it was retro and there were hair flips. Like, lots and lots of hair flips. That’s pretty much all you need to know.earnest acoustic performances of the song and then give a high-octane performance just a day later: She’s become equally adept at both styles.

Cameron Diaz and her New York Yankees star boyfriend Alex Rodriguez had a very domesticated Saturday, hitting up a local Whole Foods store after having a casual meal out in Miami, Florida.
The pair looked relaxed and casual as they left the store weighed down with bags of groceries.
Cameron, 38, is spending the weekend with her man during a break from filming her new project, What To Expect When You’re Expecting, which is shooting in Atlanta and co-stars Jennifer Lopez.
The 35-year-old heavy-hitting A-Rod is recovering from arthroscopic surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his right knee. A bandage on his knee was clearly visible yesterday.
He is expected to return to the ball park in another two to four weeks.

Joe Gelhardt ready for Leeds first-team debut after England U20 masterclass
Leeds United have enjoyed an excellent international break with their first-team and academy stars shining yet again.
Patrick Bamford and Kalvin Phillips are making names for themselves with the England squad, with two 4-0 wins in the bag.
They aren’t the only ones shining for the Three Lions, with their under-20s featuring four Leeds players from our academy.
Joe Gelhardt started on the bench, but he was the one to make all the headlines on Monday afternoon.
Sam Greenwood, Lewis Bate and Cody Drameh all shined as they swept aside Romania by six goals to one.
The young striker scored twice and early signs were that he had grabbed a hat-trick, but his third was taken away.
Footage emerged on Twitter of one of his goals, and it showed his confidence as he smashed home a penalty with ease.
Marcelo Bielsa will be watching all of his players carefully, after all, he takes great personal pride watching them shine on this level.
Gelhardt has been knocking on the door for nearly a year now, and this level of performance will only help that cause.
He is scoring with ease at this level, and no one is saying that he will be replacing Bamford anytime soon, but he surely has to come off the bench.
The young forward alongside the likes of Greenwood and Crysencio Summerville is part of one of the most promising front threes in England right now.
It may not be against Liverpool on Sunday, but Gelhardt is certainly getting closer to his senior debut – he is ready.

In response to Russia’s attack on Ukraine, NHL has capped the business connections into the country. “The National Hockey League condemns the invasion of Russia into Ukraine and pushes on a peaceful solution as fast as possible,” said the North American ice hockey league on Monday. All relationships with business partners in Russia are exposed, and the Russian-speaking pages of the NHL and social networks are also to pause. Considerations to use Russia in the future as a place for competitions with NHL connection, do not give it anymore.
Russia started a war against Ukraine on 24 February and is therefore increasingly isolated in the world sports. The IOC had called on Monday to let athletes and athletes from Russia and its allies, Belarus, no longer participate in international competitions.
Among the numerous Russian ice hockey professionals in the NHL, the league announced that they are concerned about the well-being of the athletes who “play in the name of their clubs in the NHL and not in the name of Russia”. The players and their families are in an “extremely difficult position”.

In a recent physician survey, more than half of 17,236 respondents said that the EHR has reduced or detracted from the efficiency of their practice.
As Gary Price, MD, and Tim Norbeck pointed out in Forbes, “…the current user interface of virtually every EMR in wide use today is a constant source of inefficiency, waste, and frustration in physician’s daily attempts to care for their patients… Once organized to succinctly focus on the key elements of a patient’s care, the record is now an unintelligible mass of data, organized only virtually around a priority of data reporting, billing, and regulatory checklists…A drastic overhaul of this interface to make it more efficient and user-friendly, leveraging current technology to actually make the point of care a more productive place to work is absolutely mandatory.”
At TransformativeMed we couldn’t agree more.
That’s why every Core Workflow Suite app is designed to make the EHR work for providers, instead of the other way around. And, each app embeds directly into the Cerner EHR without interfaces.
How Dr. Brent Wisse Makes the EHR Fit His Glycemicare WorkflowDr. Brent Wisse recognized early on that the cornerstone of effective inpatient glycemic control is an EHR that gives providers what they need when they need it.
In his own words: “Good glycemic management improves immune function, speeds wound healing and prevents fluid and electrolyte shifts. For hospitalized patients, it is a key part of quality care.
When I initially became involved in inpatient glycemic control, I thought I faced an educational issue. That was wrong. During educational programs, I learned that hospitalists and house staff mostly had the knowledge to deliver good glycemic care. They understood how to order and adjust basal and meal time insulin. Yet in practice, they just weren’t doing it.
When I looked closer, I discovered the real bottleneck: time. The critical data (blood sugar changes, meal timing and content, insulin doses given) providers needed to effectively optimize insulin dosing was scattered throughout the EHR, and they didn’t have the time in their clinical workflow to put it all together. On an average day, providers attended to dozens of urgent tasks per patient, and ran out of time to tackle glycemic control. Insulin doses didn’t get adjusted, and blood sugars stayed high.
Glycemic data needs to be available in a form that providers can view and absorb, in under 30 seconds. Understand whether given insulin doses were too high or too low, and how to optimize insulin orders moving forward. An effective glycemic control support tool must be simple-to-use, and fully integrated into clinical workflow.
GlycemiCare instantly gives me the patient data and clinical decision support I need, when I need it, to help deliver glycemic care efficiently, effectively and consistently.
Since 2009, GlycemiCare has become the go-to tool for all of our glycemic control decisions at the University of Washington. In rounds, new providers regularly express their excitement about their improved workflow related to glycemic control. When residents graduate and move to other healthcare systems, I often get emails asking, “How can I get GlycemiCare here?”. Without GlycemiCare, they tell me that their ability to efficiently provide glycemic care for their patients has disappeared. That is the value that GlycemiCare provides.

Seem to make your way
Onto my stage
I will always regret holding your hand
And I will always regret not letting you go
Let me escape
From the ghost of your smile and your petulant glare
Why did you defile my only sanctuary?
To think that I am the one who stands trial
For the sins which are yours
Thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not covet
I didn’t want you
And I knew you never wanted me
Why must you take what is mine?


IRIG Time Code Systems
The MEINBERG Time Code receiver synchronizes to IRIG-A/B or AFNOR time codes and provides precise time to the host PC. The IRIG output of the card can be used to synchronize other IRIG time code readers. The output format is independent from the incoming IRIG signal, and can be a convenient solution for IRIG conversion applications.
Our Time Code generator has been designed to provide IRIG and AFNOR standard time codes. Particularly it is intended for operation with the Meinberg GPS receivers and our DCF77 correlation receiver.

While hanging out with a new found friend in Istanbul and sharing pieces of our lives, this blog came up in the conversation and the need to try as many traditional Turkish foods as possible during my short stay. Rushing off to get a couple for each of us to try, I sunk my spoon into the brown topped rice and found a pudding unlike anything I’d ever had before.
Turkish people love sweet food, they love to give in to their sweet tooth with as many different varieties of dishes as any land can offer and their baked rice pudding is nothing short of fitting into their cuisine. This is far more pudding than rice (1 liter of milk to 1/2 cup rice, I had to triple check this recipe to make sure I was reading it right).
For people who are afraid of trying new recipes or terrified at the prospect of cooking rice from scratch, this is a pretty impressive place to start. It is as simple as can be and involves things anyone would already have in their kitchen (unless you don’t eat rice much), and the beauty is that they have to be refrigerated so if it all goes pear shaped you have time to whip something else up (boxed pudding perhaps).
But I have faith in you and your ability, they say we should do something that scares us everyday and for some or a lot of people making food is something that scares them. This is a truth I encounter more than I imagined possible since beginning this little piece of the internet.
I’d love if you made this at home and tagged me on Instagram to show me how yours turned out. Let’s make food a little less scary and a little more fun, it’s science in action after all. Plus this custard topped rice pudding is unique and worth giving a go, even just once (although it’s pretty tasty that you may crave it once you’ve tasted it).
Note: The original recipe advised 1 cup of sugar which I lessened to 3/4 cup and this was still rather sweet.
Traditionally these are served in clay cups and are best to use if possible.

Firin Sütlaç – Turkish Rice Pudding
Adapted from HowtoIstanbul.com
1/2 cup rice
1.1 liters milk
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons corn starch
1 egg yolk
Wash the starch from the rice until the water runs clear than place in a medium pot with enough water to cover. Simmer on medium heat until the rice is soft and the water is almost dissipated.
Set aside 1 cup of milk in a bowl and in a separate bowl a further 3 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl.
Combine the remaining milk, sugar and vanilla extract with the rice until smooth than simmer for 10 minutes, stirring to ensure the mixture doesn’t stick.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
Meanwhile, sift the corn flour into the 1 cup of milk and mix until smooth, gradually stir into the rice mixture and cook for a further 5 minutes or until thickened.
Add the egg yolk to the 3 tablespoons of milk and mix until well combined and smooth.
Spoon into small oven proof dishes and spread the egg mixture over the tops with the back of a spoon.
Place on a baking tray (for spillages) in the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes or until golden on top.
Remove and refrigerate for several hours.

Greatest Scientific And Medical Discoveries In 2017
There’s no stopping the year 2017 from reaching its endpoint and within a few days, we anticipate the coming of the New Year. We’re all very motivated and inspired to get things underway but before we embark on a new health and fitness journey , let’s go through this year’s highlights with special focus on the greatest scientific and medical discoveries. These scientific breakthroughs should help us accomplish goals and think differently about ways to improve health and our wellbeing in general! If you haven’t already, check out these medical innovations!
We’re Now One Step Closer to Prevent Insomnia With this Gene Discovery
We all know that about ⅔ of America’s population lacks sleep. We’ve been grinding with our hectic schedules and heavy workload that we barely have time to rest, let alone sleep. That’s why most of us have a problem with insomnia that may trigger not only problems in weight loss but also in our mental health. However, our struggle for insomnia might soon end with this new gene discovery study. The scientists and medical researchers have discovered “seven genes” insomnia that disables us from sleeping profoundly. It seems that people having this genetic makeup have an innate inability to sleep. And if you’re one of the patients who inherits insomnia gene, it may be possible to reduce your symptoms by further scientific studies of gene alteration next year.
Hep C Identification Treatment
We all know that Hepatitis is one of the deadliest diseases in the world. Not only that but it’s also contagious. However, hepatitis prevention is now possible because of this groundbreaking study where the scientists discovered that a single receptor cell in our body has the ability to recognize Hepatitis C. This single cell may be the sole key in finally preventing the development of Hepatitis C. And just this second half of the year, the FDA had developed a drug called “Mavyret” which can help treat patients with or without cirrhosis, as well as those suffering from kidney diseases. Although the treatment is still undergoing clinical trial, the FDA is positive that these developments would pave the way to develop a vaccination program for Hepatitis.
Breast Cancer Treatment
Almost ⅔ of the world’s women population suffers from breast cancer. It’s one of the deadliest cancer diseases for women. Fortunately, the UK medical researchers had discovered a stunning drug combination which can help reduce the effects of breast cancer. These two notable drugs are namely Herceptin and Tyverb. When combined together, they reduce the production and development of tumor which aggravates breast cancer. Just this year, the production of the combined drug had passed FDA’s clinical trial and got an approval for distribution. This drug is now called Nerlynx. The FDA also said that this drug can now be used as part of the treatment for those patients with Stage 1 and 2 breast cancer diagnoses.
Xadago Drug May Finally Become the Cure for Parkinson’s Disease
For years, the FDA and medical world are in constant research for a potential cure for this deadly disease. Just in America alone, about 50,000 of its population are suffering from Parkinson’s disease which impairs your brain, causing you to lose your movement and eventually die. The current medical treatment protocols for Parkinson’s disease are not that effective but FDA is hopeful that incorporating the newly approved Xadago (safinamide) drug in Parkinson treatment may help deal with this disease and eventually find its cure.
Innovative Understanding of Cholesterol
When your doctor or attending physician tells you that you have high cholesterol, the first thing that comes to our mind is that we have high levels of bad cholesterol or LDL. This is where we start undergoing changes in lifestyle in order to control our cholesterol levels. However, this can be a challenging route to all of us. Good thing though that the FDA had recently developed this new type of drug known as PCSK9 inhibitors which helps lower your cholesterol down up to 20%. This way, you can now keep track of your cholesterol levels and make it more manageable for you.

If you earn money from your site, write sponsored posts or reviews, or receive free goods or services, or any form of incentive or reward – then you need to disclose this to your readers. The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) have published regulations requiring you to disclose your relationships with other companies and individuals relating to endorsement of products or services. You can find the full regulations here and the FTC summary announcement here.
The revised Guides also add new examples to illustrate the long standing principle that “material connections” (sometimes payments or free products) between advertisers and endorsers – connections that consumers would not expect – must be disclosed. These examples address what constitutes an endorsement when the message is conveyed by bloggers or other “word-of-mouth” marketers. The revised Guides specify that while decisions will be reached on a case-by-case basis, the post of a blogger who receives cash or in-kind payment to review a product is considered an endorsement. Thus, bloggers who make an endorsement must disclose the material connections they share with the seller of the product or service.
You can get a very simple disclosure policy using a step by step generator tool at http://disclosurepolicy.org/
However, do consider using your disclosure policy page as an extension of your about page. It’s a chance for you to write about what you do and why you do it and get real and genuine with your readers. Take a look at my disclosure policy.
I try to make it clear that I only make genuine recommendations and my affiliate links don’t cost readers any more. I think given the subject of this site, that it is unlikely I’ll be sent goods to review – it’s just not that relevant to my readers. But if the right opportunity came up, I would certainly review products I was sent. But I would not, under any circumstances provide a positive review if it wasn’t my honest opinion. Would I publish a negative review? It depends on the product and why it was reviewed in the first place.
I’m not a funny person, not very creative or imaginative when it comes to my writing. I’m a facts kind of girl and my disclosure policy reflects that. But your policy should be a reflection of you and your personality – so write it in your own style and include your own words.
Great disclosure policies to check out:
John Chow – awesome! He even gets his disclosure policy page sponsored.
Don’t shy away from your responsibilities and legal requirements, and don’t apologise for advertising and hoping to earn a little for all of the hard work you put into providing the awesome content that your readers love.
