Diabetes risk factors Australian researchers have identified a cluster of factors that significantly increase a woman's chances of developing full-blown type 2 diabetes if she has diabetes while she is pregnant.
Their study found that women with gestational diabetes who also have at least four metabolic risk factors such as high blood glucose, high blood pressure, BMI over 30, low HDL levels and high triglyceride levels are six times more to have type 2 diabetes within 10 years, compared to women without the additional risk factors.
The study, from researchers at the University of Western Australia and Perth's King Edward Memorial Hospital, is published today in the journal Nutrition and Diabetes.
"We have shown that the cardiometabolic risk profile as assessed by cluster analysis in pregnancies with gestational diabetes mellitus strongly correlates with the development of diabetes and persistence of cardiovascular disease risk 10 years later," the authors write.
Around 35 per cent of the 150 women with gestational diabetes included in the study fell into the 'high risk' category by virtue of having at least four of the additional cardiometabolic risk factors.
Gestational diabetes is already known to increase the risk of a woman developing diabetes in later life, however the challenge is to identify which women with gestational diabetes are at greatest risk.
"We were interested to see whether the gestational diabetic population had people in there who were at higher risk because they had some of those metabolic syndrome-like factors, so they were overweight, had abnormal lipids and abnormal glucose, and higher blood pressure," says lead author Professor Anne Barden, research professor at the School of Medicine and Pharmacology at the University of Western Australia.
Part of the problem is that pregnancy itself causes changes in lipid metabolism and blood pressure, so in the past the focus in women with gestational diabetes has been solely on blood glucose levels.
"That's obviously very necessary, but in terms of their long-term development of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, other measures seem to be important as well," says Barden.
"It's really putting into context that maybe these women with gestational diabetes haven't just got an abnormality of only glucose, but it tracks with other factors that need to be monitored as well."
The researchers found that the 'high-risk' cluster of four or more risk factors was more accurate at predicting the later development of type 2 diabetes than simply using a woman's blood glucose levels or BMI.
The study showed that women with these elevated risk factors could be identified just six months after pregnancy, which Barden says provides a valuable opportunity for early intervention to prevent them from developing diabetes down the track.
"Women often have more than one complicated pregnancy without effective intervention in between," Barden says.
"It's a way of alerting the physicians to the pregnant women who are at particularly high risk and importantly, it's alerting at a reasonably early age when interventions can be put into place to prevent long term adverse outcomes."

Stop, think and plan every time you reach for your phone, and stand out before the first handshake.
My most recent blog identified IT's top four communication challenges and suggested means for overcoming them.
I've matched them to all the milestones we encounter when pursuing a new job or promotion, starting with the phone call and winding up with the perennially underrated thank-you note. I then zeroed in on which of the four looms largest at each of the milestones.
Consult the resulting reference guide right below (and in my next IT career checkup installment) for an efficient, substantive and easily graded progress. Value to you? Freeing up your sharpest thinking for the complex and quite often unpredictable negotiations themselves.
You can learn only so much about a stranger's true characteristics through a phone call, but busy recruiters and managers will concentrate every second of one to determine why you, in particular, are a wise investment of their resources.
Because these initial conversations are non-visual and involve two people with full and conflicting schedules, one of whom must keep the talk a secret, almost everything turns on the following hurdle: technology professionals' reliance on brief, dry and terse phrases and sentences to get their point across.
Another obstacle is the assumption your interviewer or your interviewer's administrative assistant is as accepting as you might be of tech jargon along with less than considerate mobile phone habits. It's going to be all the more irresistible when you're under the gun to wrap things up fast.
Plan your message well and raise your awareness of the clarity and motivation you display.
Have just one or two relatively modest goals per call. Ensure the opportunity appears a good fit with your expertise, expectations and background. Since attitudes about when to bring up salary have changed, stay alert for an opening for you to introduce a ballpark figure you have in mind.
If time is tight during the workday, stick to arranging a mutually convenient date and time for a fuller interview in a safe location, by phone or Skype (or similar video chat service).
On to how you sound. If you've never met the other person before, and all they have is your online photo, their observations and assessment naturally converge on your voice and how you speak. If you're mumbling or racing through your dialogue, you've already lowered your chances.
Confirm the other person is ready and able to listen. Enunciate your words and slow down, but don't veer into dullness. Pause to let your listener absorb each distinct thought or statement. Breathe steadily and inhale and exhale quietly.
Vary your tone of voice and be forceful to convey the energy people instinctively know accompanies sincerity and commitment.
We're also naturally concerned about a momentary silence to collect our thoughts causing discomfort for our listener.
When on the phone, however, you signal only unpreparedness, disinterest and confusion once you toss out these ubiquitous and irritating fillers.
Practice with someone who acts the interviewer's role or serve as the interviewer yourself. Record and play back these sessions, adjusting your style as you go along.
The biggest IT communication challenges for texting mirror those for phone calls, only more so. Any intricacy or nuance doesn't survive in this rapid-fire, short-on-space environment.
My best advice is to limit texts to straightforward yes-or-no questions and answers, such as announcing a last-minute cancellation or offering another meeting spot.
Remember the inherent advantage of being able to review what you write before you hit send. Read each text aloud three times. Be wary of any pretentious lingo or a line that's a bit too blunt or ambiguous. Watch out for spell checkers with minds of their own.
Why not apply a touch of your unique personality to lower the stress level of any contact in the job search process? Texts and phone calls are ideal for testing out this trait. A simple "hi" or "thanks again" add warmth and don't risk a joke falling flat. Experiment with making these salutations and sign-offs more original to you.
Skip emoticons; you should maintain some formality in your dealings with high-status acquaintances.
We'll expand on humor's potential in our next blog, decoding the intense face-to-face parleys for demanding and well-paying positions.
Bill Rosenthal is CEO of Communispond and Logical Operations. He has headed employee education programs at Kaplan College, Ziff-Davis and Element K.
The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries saw an explosion in the Applied Optics industry. Companies such as Carl Zeiss, Bausch and Lomb and Eastman Kodak realized the great need and potential for optics as cameras, spectacles and medical instruments advanced in technology. With the start of World War I in 1914, the young optics companies in the U.S. were cut off from the German glass supply. The need for more knowledge in optical theory and more advanced instrument-making skills became imminent in the U.S.
On November 18, 1915, a few gentlemen met at the University of Rochester to form an optical society. It was named the Rochester Association for Advancement of Applied Optics. Within three weeks the society had written and adopted a constitution and by-laws and the first council was elected. The first regular meeting was held on Tuesday, January 4, 1916, and then on the first Tuesday of every month thereafter. This schedule is still followed today.
One month later, in February 1916, it was decided to plan a national optics society with the name Optical Society of America. The Journal of the Optical Society of America was the first order of business and on December 28, 1916, the first regular meeting of the OSA was held. At the same time, plans for founding an "Institute of Optics" were underway at the University of Rochester. It was suggested that the Institute of Optics should be intimately involved with the publication of the JOSA and the two have been closely linked ever since. As the national optics society moved out of Rochester in 1916, a local chapter was created with heavy involvement from the local optics industry. It may be said that "you can take OSA out of Rochester, but you cannot take Rochester out of OSA."

W, perhaps, who went on to become a cheerleader at Yale, and maybe Obama.
I talked to some classmates of Cara Carleton Sneed – Fiorina’s name when she was graduated from Jordan High School in Durham in 1972 – and read some of the Jordan High Facebook posts about her. The picture that emerged was of someone who was a non-entity. If she were recalled at all, except in a couple of instances, it was not fondly.
A saint, I tell ya’. A freakin’ saint.
Most members of the 24-member team, he said, “did pretty well in life.” Hill was a Morehead Scholar, and mentioned businessman William Marable, who went to MIT, and Herb Clark, an orthopedic surgeon in Seattle.
It’s hard to imagine Carly teaching any of them how to conjugate a verb, isn’t it?
I asked Ralph Keyes, author of the bible for high school losers – hey, there were more of us than there were of you golden boys and girls – if one’s popularity in high school translated into political success, or at least into political aspirations later in life.
Keyes, who is working on an updated version of “Is There Life After High School?,” separates high school students into two groups, innies and outies. Innies, of course, are those who comprised the inner circle of popular kids, the In-crowd.
Outies were the rest of us.
“If Carly Fiorina was an outie in high school,” Keyes told me, “she’s in good company. Bill Clinton was a pudgy saxophonist who had trouble getting dates. Richard Nixon lost an election for student body president to a classmate who later worked for Arizona’s highway department. Franklin Roosevelt felt so hopelessly out of it at Groton that he had little to do with his alma mater in later years. The list could go on and on.
“It's not hard to see them seeking the kind of popularity they didn't achieve in high school. On the other hand, it's just as easy to see George W. Bush trying to reclaim the limelight he enjoyed as an innie’s innie in high school and as a Skull and Bones member at Yale,” he said.

TAMPA, FL—United States Attorney A. Lee Bentley, III announced today that Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) Robert Mosakowski will lead the efforts of his Office in connection with the Justice Department’s nationwide Election Day Program for the upcoming November 4, 2014 general elections. AUSA Mosakowski has been appointed to serve as the District Election Officer (DEO) for the Middle District of Florida. In that capacity, he is responsible for overseeing the District’s handling of complaints of election fraud and voting rights abuses, in consultation with Justice Department Headquarters in Washington.
The Department of Justice plays an important role in deterring election fraud and discrimination at the polls, and combating these violations whenever and wherever they occur. The Department’s long-standing Election Day Program furthers these goals, and also seeks to ensure public confidence in the integrity of the election process by providing local points of contact for the public to report possible violations on Election Day.
Federal law protects against such crimes as intimidating or bribing voters, buying and selling votes, impersonating voters, altering vote tallies, stuffing ballot boxes, and marking ballots for voters against their wishes or without their input. It also contains special protections for the rights of voters and provides that they can vote free from acts that intimidate or harass them. Such acts may include questioning, challenging, photographing, or videotaping voters at polling places, under the pretext of uncovering violations of federal voting rights laws. Further, federal law protects the right of voters to mark their own ballot or to be assisted by a person of their choice.
In order to respond to complaints of election fraud or voting rights abuses on November 4, 2014, and to ensure that such complaints are directed to the appropriate authorities, United States Attorney Bentley stated that AUSA/DEO Bob Mosakowski will be on duty in this District while the polls are open. Public complaints may be reported to him at (813) 274-6129.
In addition, the FBI will have special agents available in each field office and resident agency throughout the country to receive allegations of election fraud and other election abuses on Election Day. Local FBI field offices can be reached by the public at either 1-866-838-1153 (Tampa Division) or (904) 248-7000 (Jacksonville Division). Complaints about possible violations of the federal voting rights laws can be made directly to the Civil Rights Division’s Voting Section, in Washington, by phone at 1-800-253-3931 or (202) 307-2767, by fax at (202) 307-3961, by e-mail to voting.section@usdoj.gov, or by complaint form.
Nov. 30 (UPI) -- The Cincinnati Reds are parting ways with outfielder Billy Hamilton.
Sources told MLB.com and The Athletic on Friday that the Reds will not offer Hamilton a contract for 2019. Hamilton is eligible for arbitration. He made $4.6 million in 2018 after singing a one-year contract.
A source told MLB.com that the Reds attempted to trade Hamilton but could not work out a deal. The National League Central franchise has not made an announcement regarding Hamilton.
The 28-year-old hit .236 with four home runs, 29 RBIs and 34 stolen bases in 153 games last season. Hamilton had at least 55 stolen bases in every season between 2014 and 2017.
For his career, Hamilton owns a .245 batting average and has 277 steals.
Reds star Scooter Gennett, Anthony DeSclafani, Michael Lorenzen, Curt Casali and Jose Peraza are also eligible for arbitration.
Marjorie Thomas, Area Director for the SC Employment Security Commission, knows first hand the number of unemployed workers in Jasper County and surrounding areas.
For the last two months, those workers have formed lines outside the One-Stop Workforce Center in Ridgeland on occasion in search of any help to get back into the workforce.
"It's hard," said Thomas, who oversees the centers in Jasper and Beaufort counties. "There are oftentimes more job seekers than we have employees here to help them."
A recent release of the January unemployment numbers back up Thomas' experiences.
In January, Jasper County saw its unemployment rate jump 1.8 percentage points from where it finished in December to 10.1. South Carolina as a whole increased to 10.4 percent, the highest in about 26 years.
In nearby counties, Beaufort's rate upped 1.5 percentage points to 8.4, while Hampton jumped to 13 percent - a 2.5 percentage point increase.
"The hardest part is that a lot of the people we see now are people that have never been unemployed," Thomas said. "For instance, we had someone last week come in who had been employed for 43 years."
But there is hope, according to Thomas and Alice Brothers, the program coordinator at the One-Stop Workforce Center in Ridgeland.
Thomas and Brothers both said that they've seen an increase in ads posted by employers in the last three weeks.
"I'm not an economist, so I don't know if it's hit its downturn or not, but it's a good sign," Thomas said.
The jobs coming in, according to Thomas and Brothers, have mostly been from various retail businesses in the Lowcountry region, as well as a little bit of construction.
Locally, most of the unemployment has come either from the housing industry itself, or a trickle-down theory that begins with the housing industry.
"It's mostly been in construction, housing and real estate," Jasper County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Kendall Malphrus said about recent layoffs and business closings in the area.
Malphrus doesn't see that changing until the economy makes a turn for the better.
"Until the economy turns around, I don't know if there's any one specific thing you can do," she said. "People aren't building houses so you can't make people buy lumber and on and on it goes. If they don't have the extra money to spend, they're not going to spend it."
The chamber of commerce does what it can to help as well; including hosting networking events and encouraging their member businesses to get their names back out in the public.
"Even though it's kind of a catch-22, because it's hard to have them advertise during the slump, but we encourage them to get their name out there," Malphrus said. "This is when it needs to be out there the most.
"We'll continue to try and provide them avenues to do that, get leads and network amongst each other to generate more business for themselves."
At the workforce center, Thomas and Brothers' staff works to connect employers with potential applicants that fulfill the requirements for a posted job. The center also provides the applicant with access to its Web site (www.sces.org) that features all of its job listings.
With all the center's resources at their disposal, Thomas said they try and focus on the positive with any of the customers that seek their help.
The workforce center will be hosting a motivational speaker Thursday at their conference room inside the Ridgeland office on Main Street. The event will start at 1:30 p.m. and is open to the public.
"We have folks that come to see us at their wit's end and don't know what to do," Thomas said. "We're simply here to help them get back to work."
Twice in the last month you've identified cars involved and hit-and-runs, including a quick I.D. that was "critical" to solving a case.
Now a pedestrian in Chicago's Ukranian Village been struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver sometime around 2:30 AM on Wednesday. Police have a surveillance camera image of what they believe is the car. Now they need your help identifying it.
Please look at the photo above and see if you can't help narrow down what vehicle it is. We spoke with Chicago Police this afternoon and said they aren't sure of the make/model/year.
Provide your theory and the best answers in the comments and we'll let them know what you've come up with.
And if you're in Chicago and you happen to know this specific vehicle used in the crime please leave a message in the comments or call investigators at (312) 745-4521. As always, do not attempt to apprehend anyone. Leave that to the authorities.
UPDATE: This is a tough challenge. Below are the best guesses so far.
The preferred Challenge format for many die-hard fans is this: morning house drama, weekly challenge, nominations, elimination, hit da club, then late night drama. It’s a tried and true breakdown that gives us a little bit of everything that we want all in one episode. The problem with that rundown is that it is a formula. And no matter how successful the formula becomes, it inevitably begins to feel, well, formulaic. You may enjoy the ride but you know where the twists, turns, and drops are. Coca Cola is a classic but that doesn’t stop them from mixing up a new flavor every few years.
This week’s episode took place in the time period of last week’s challenge. It went through the nominations and ended at that same elimination. It’s about a half-week’s worth of gameplay, but because so much occurred it got its own full hour. Every season needs one or two episodes like this, just to keep things interesting—consider it the Cherry Coke Zero of the show.
There were a lot of heavy hitter players vulnerable for the Presidio after last week’s mismatched team challenge. It was an embarrassment of riches. Cory has been gunning for Johnny Bananas since the jump. He has a hit list. He’s already scratched Darrell off it week one. Now there’s Johnny, CT, and Derrick left. At the club, Cory and Johnny start jawing back-and-forth about whose game it is now. Johnny has won six times so it’s his game if it’s anyone’s game. I personally believe the Challenge belongs to the people. Cory does have the right strategy, though. If you keep taking shots at Johnny, he may get eliminated. If you take no shots at Johnny, he’ll make it to the end and probably win. While Johnny and Cory are arguing, an inebriated Nelson decides to come to Cory’s aid, stumbling into a table on the way and pushing away bouncers. Of course this gets him kicked out of the bar. Good club drama: check.
Back at the house—still that night, everyone still lit—Drunk Tony decides to make an appearance. Drunk Tony is an issue. He gets himself into bad situations that were originally entertaining many years ago until they started to go way too far and involve other houseguests. He usually ends up getting into a verbal or physical altercation with someone, and one or both are kicked off the show. Tony stopped drinking on the last Challenge he was on, showing that Sober Tony is a lot more amicable. The irony that Drunk Tony was cooking eggs when this fight started is not lost on me, as the last fight he got into with Camila on Rivals 3 involved him Hulk-smashing a carton of eggs while yelling at her. Tony told Cara Maria that she looked like his mom at 60. Then forgot he said it and when Cara referenced the words that had just come out of his mouth, Tony got mad that she was talking about his mom. It got heated but Johnny managed to talk him upstairs to bed. Late night drama: check.
The narrative of this episode centered on Kailah and Jenna being great friends. We see them doing handsprings and pattycake pushups. They mention that they’re each other’s only alliances about as many times as TJ says this season is “dirty.” So it’s absolutely no surprise that they end up against each other in the elimination. The winning team, led by Marie, wants to get rid of a better competitor. So their targets are Kailah or Camila. But everyone is terrified of the Camilanator so Kailah gets thrown in. I was surprised that they got so personal with it. The perfect justification to put Kailah in would be: you picked the teams so you deserve to go in and leave it at that. In the double cross round, Jemmeye pulled it and had to choose. Jenna saved Jemmeye in week one, instead of Toya, so the players were shocked Jemmeye said Jenna’s name. But the episode was already so set up that it was clear this was coming. Even though nobody said Camila’s name, she still vowed revenge on anyone who even thought it.
On the men’s side, Cara Maria really wanted to vote in Tony because of the previous night’s altercation. Plus, Tony has a history of not winning things. She went along with the house and put Ammo in because he is a rookie and didn’t compete in the team challenge. But she ethered Tony with a speech about his behavior. TJ heard Tony was drunk again and gave him the “Tony, what are you doing, don’t blow this speech” which is like your favorite teacher telling you they’re disappointed with you. TJ also asked Ammo who he wanted to face and he said “whoever drank the most last night” which was either Drunk Nelson or Drunk Tony. Cory also still voted for Bananas even though he had no numbers, which is petty, good television, and bad strategy, but those two are too far gone at this point to mend the tear.
