Test ID: CUS
Copper, Serum
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of:
-Wilson disease
-Primary biliary cirrhosis
-Primary sclerosing cholangitis
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
In serum from normal, healthy humans, more than 95% of the copper is incorporated into ceruloplasmin; the remaining copper is loosely bound to albumin.
Low serum copper, most often due to excess iron or zinc ingestion and infrequently due to dietary copper deficit, results in severe derangement in growth and impaired erythropoiesis. Low serum copper is also observed in hepatolenticular degeneration (Wilson disease) due to a decrease in the synthesis of ceruloplasmin and allelic variances in cellular metal ion transporters. In Wilson disease, the albumin-bound copper may actually be increased, but ceruloplasmin copper is low, resulting in low serum copper. However, during the acute phase of Wilson disease (fulminant hepatic failure), ceruloplasmin and copper may be normal; in this circumstance, hepatic inflammation causes increased release of ceruloplasmin. It is useful to relate the degree of liver inflammation to the ceruloplasmin and copper-see discussion on hypercupremia below. Significant hepatic inflammation with normal ceruloplasmin and copper suggest acute Wilson disease.
Other disorders associated with decreased serum copper concentrations include malnutrition, hypoproteinemia, malabsorption, nephrotic syndrome, Menkes disease, copper toxicity, and megadosing of zinc-containing vitamins (zinc interferes with normal copper absorption from the gastrointestinal tract).
Hypercupremia is found in primary biliary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, hemochromatosis, malignant diseases (including leukemia), thyrotoxicosis, and various infections. Serum copper concentrations are also elevated in patients taking contraceptives or estrogens and during pregnancy.
Since the gastrointestinal (GI) tract effectively excludes excess copper, it is the GI tract that is most affected by copper ingestion. Increased serum concentration does not, by itself, indicate copper toxicity.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
0-2 months: 0.40-1.40 mcg/mL
3-6 months: 0.40-1.60 mcg/mL
7-9 months: 0.40-1.70 mcg/mL
10-12 months: 0.80-1.70 mcg/mL
13 months-10 years: 0.80-1.80 mcg/mL
> or =11 years: 0.75-1.45 mcg/mL
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Serum copper below the normal range is associated with Wilson disease, as well as a variety of other clinical situations (see Clinical Information). Excess use of denture cream containing zinc can cause hypocupremia.
Serum concentrations above the normal range are seen in primary biliary cirrhosis and primary sclerosing cholangitis, as well as a variety of other clinical situations (see Clinical Information).
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
High concentrations of gadolinium, iodine, and barium are known to interfere with most metals tests. If either gadolinium, iodine, or barium-containing contrast media has been administered, a specimen should not be collected for 96 hours.

Abstract:The objective of these studies is to determine the impact, if any, of highway construction and operation upon the value of remainders of certain parcels of abutting private property from which right-of-way was obtained. In most cases, it was found that the remainder had been sold for prices far in excess of the appraised valuation at the time of the right-of-way purchase; in fact, even far in excess of the projected appraisal.

Buc tennis teams put on clinic for area children
Sunday, January 12, 2003
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 12, 2003) -- East Tennessee State's men's and women's tennis programs put on a junior clinic as part of the Snow Volleys Doubles Championships Sunday at Memorial Center. ETSU players and coaches were on hand to offer instruction to those who participated.
The Snow Volleys is a 10-day tennis tournament featuring amatuer men and women, mainly from the local Tri-Cities area. The event is also a big fundraiser for ETSU tennis scholarships and has been held annually since 1996. Last year the tournament raised over $20,000.

The body of a St. Leonard man, who jumped Tuesday evening from the top of the 140-foot Gov. Thomas Johnson Memorial Bridge, has not yet been recovered by law enforcement.
Lt. Steve Jones, commander of the Calvert Investigative Team, said at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, the driver of a gold Toyota Camry traveling south stopped his vehicle on the highest point of the bridge before getting out, walking around to the front of the car and "throw[ing] himself" over the wall of the jersey barrier.
Witnesses told police they saw a body in the water, and rescue watercraft from the Department of Natural Resources, the Solomons and St. Leonard volunteer fire departments, the Calvert County Sheriff's Office and rescue squads from both St. Mary's and Charles counties searched the Patuxent River "well past the hour of darkness" trying to find the man, whom Jones said was "middle-aged." Maryland State Police helicopters also flew over the area, he said, but "all search efforts yielded negative results."
Rescue divers were not called to the scene, Jones said, because "it's just too dangerous to dive" at night "in those conditions."
Officials closed the bridge once the incident happened, and a Nixle alert was sent out at 7:27 p.m. stating that the bridge was reopened.
Since the bridge opened in December 1977, 14 people have jumped off the bridge and died, including yesterday's apparent suicide, and five have jumped and survived, according to Southern Maryland Newspapers accounts.
According to a sheriff's office press release, further investigation will be conducted and additional search efforts are anticipated. A possible victim identity was determined by investigators, but will not be released until positive identification can be made.
Staff writer Jason Babcock contributed to this report.

Tuesday, October 08, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Oct. 8, 2002) - Numerous national college basketball preseason publications have chosen East Tennessee State to win the Southern Conference North Division in the 2002-03 season. Athlon Sports, Lindy's and Street and Smith's all chose the Bucs to top the North Division. In addition to the team accolades, Buccaneer junior forwards Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) and Jerald Fields (Gainesville, Fla.) received many individual honors. Athlon Sports named Fields to their preseason all-conference team while Wadood was named to Street and Smith's team. Both players earned preseason all-conference honors from Lindy's while they named Fields as the best rebounder in the conference and Wadood as the best defender. Wadood was a 2001-02 all-conference selection after leading the SoCon with 9.2 rebounds per game and finishing second on the team with 14.8 points per game. Fields finished third on the team with 13.5 points per game and was an inside defensive force, breaking the school record with 56 blocks last season. His 2.0 blocks per game tied for 39th in the nation. East Tennessee State has recorded back-to-back 18-10 seasons, winning the Southern Conference North Division title in two consecutive seasons. The Bucs will open up their 2002-03 season on Nov. 22 at 7:30 p.m. against Guilford College in Johnson City, Tenn.

Translation. It's everywhere we look, but seldom seen—until now. Found in Translation reveals the surprising and complex ways that translation shapes the world. Covering everything from holy books to hurricane warnings and poetry to peace treaties, Nataly Kelly and Jost Zetzsche offer language lovers and pop culture fans alike an insider's view of the ways in which translation spreads culture, fuels the global economy, prevents wars, and stops the outbreak of disease. Examples include how translation plays a key role at Google, Facebook, NASA, the United Nations, the Olympics, and more.
Editorial Reviews
—Marlee Matlin, Academy Award-winning actress
"A fascinating book about language and the importance of translation. Kelly and Zetzsche demonstrate how technology and translation help build communities and expand the quest for knowledge on virtually every subject."
—Anthony Salcito, Vice President of Education, Microsoft
"Nataly Kelly and Jost Zetzsche have done essential work in capturing the stories behind translation, and how we all experience its value every day. As they observe, 'Right this very minute, translation is saving lives, perhaps even yours.'"
—Laura I. Gomez, Localization Manager, Twitter
"Found in Translation is a meditation, an exposé, and practical guidebook to humanity's continued, painstaking ascent of our monumental tower of Babel. Without language diversity, we would be intellectually impoverished, and with it we are enriched. But without translators to interpret and bridge that diversity, we would remain ignorant and isolated, locked each of us in our own native tongue's limited worldview."
—K. David Harrison, PhD, Swarthmore College and National Geographic Society
"This is by far the most meaningful book on the subject of translation that I have ever seen. The authors have managed to entertain, inform, and show how translation impacts all aspects of our life, from health to business to entertainment and technology, all supported with real-life examples."
—Ghassan Haddad, Director of Internationalization, Facebook
"During times of war, weapons make the difference. During times of peace, battles are won in conference rooms and those who can most clearly communicate their messages win. Found in Translation demonstrates to us all that translation and interpretation are the most intelligent weapons for triumphing in commercial, financial, or diplomatic settings."
—Olga Cosmidou, Director General for Interpretation and Conferences, European Parliament
"Nataly Kelly and Jost Zetzsche focus in on what is the core issue for diplomats, entrepreneurs, non-governmental organizations and everyday working people alike: language. With information now flowing both globally and instantaneously, translators and interpreters have already ascended into the ranks of the indispensable."
—Sunder Ramaswamy, President and Frederick C. Dirks Professor of International Economics, Monterey Institute of International Studies

Some people have retirement plans I play the Lotto. Well also the miller weld shop giveaway. Man I could dump other job and weld full time! Wait thats why I got the other job welding full time hurts. Oh well I still want the bright shinny new blue stuff. Wonder if beer tastes better from a Miller refrigerator? I bet it does.
I think the first bit is from a Jeff Foxworthey show. The Red neck guy, not sure.

We have our ways to discover if you've created 50-email addresses just to win.
That said, I'd rather a bonified welder got the goods vs a professional contest enterer who just sells it off for the money. Of course, I'd be especially happy if one of our message board members won!

Rock-Hewn Churches of Ivanovo
Rock-Hewn Churches of Ivanovo
In the valley of the Roussenski Lom River, in north east Bulgaria, a complex of rock-hewn churches, chapels, monasteries and cells developed in the vicinity of the village of Ivanovo. This is where the first hermits had dug out their cells and churches during the 12th century. The 14th-century murals testify to the exceptional skill of the artists belonging to the Tarnovo School of painting.
Églises rupestres d'Ivanovo
Dans la vallée de la Roussenki Lom, au nord-est de la Bulgarie, un ensemble d'églises, de chapelles, de monastères et de cellules creusés dans le roc s'est développé à proximité du village d'Ivanovo. C'est là que les premiers ermites ont creusé leurs cellules et leurs églises au XIIe siècle. Les peintures murales qui datent du XIVe siècle témoignent d'une technique artistique exceptionnelle caractéristique de l'école de peinture de Tarnovo.
كنائس إيفانوفو المنحوتة في الصخر
يشهد وادي روسنكي لوم، شمال شرق بلغاريا، على نمو مجموعة من الكنائس والمعابد والأديرة والصوامع المحفورة في الصخر بالقرب من بلدة إيفانوفو حيث حفر الناسكون الأوائل صوامعهم وكنائسهم في القرن الثاني عشر. وتجسّد الرسومات الجدارية التي ترقى إلى القرن الرابع عشر على تقنية فنية إستثنائية اشتهرت بها مدرسة تارنوفو للرسم.

Скальные церкви у села Иваново
Комплекс, состоящий из болгарских средневековых церквей, часовен и монашеских келий, выдолбленных в скалах на извилине реки Русенский Лом. Сохранившие здесь фрески XIII-XIV века, выполненные уникальными по составу красками, специалисты относят к величайшим из сокровищ болгарской средневековой живописи. В этих скалах укрывались первые христианские отшельники. Здесь построены храмы XII века.

Iglesias rupestres de Ivanovo
Este conjunto de iglesias, capillas, celdas y monasterios rupestres se fue formando a lo largo del tiempo en el valle del río Russenski Lom, no lejos de la aldea de Ivanovo, al noreste de Bulgaria. Fue en el siglo XII cuando los primeros eremitas excavaron sus celdas e iglesias en la roca. Los frescos, que datan del siglo XIV, atestiguan la técnica excepcional característica de la escuela de pintura de Tarnovo.

Uit de rots gehouwen kerken van Ivanovo
In de vallei van de Roussenski Lom rivier (in het noordoosten van Bulgarije) ontstond in de buurt van het dorp Ivanovo een complex van uit de rots gehouwen kerken, kapellen, kloosters en cellen. In de 12e eeuw hadden kluizenaars hun cellen en kerken voor het eerst uitgehouwen op deze plek. De fresco's van de Ivanovo kerken – het klooster bezit de mooiste collectie – werden vervaardigd door kunstenaars van de Tarnovo School en gelden als mijlpaal in de christelijke kunst van Zuidoost-Europa. Het Ivanovo klooster raakte snel in vergetelheid en verval tijdens de verovering van het land door de Ottomaanse Turken in 1396.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
The frescos of the Ivanovo churches reveal an exceptional artistry and a remarkable artistic sensitivity for 14th century painting and Bulgarian medieval art; they are an important achievement in the Christian art of South-Eastern Europe. Posterior to the Khora monastery mosaics (Karia Djami) of 1303 - 10, these frescoes, by their very expressiveness surpass any other historical monuments discovered, characteristic of the Palaeologues style. Neo-classical in spirit and in elements of their subjects, the frescoes represent a departure from the canons of Byzantine iconography. They show close ties with expressive Hellenistic art and a clear preference for the nude, the landscape, an architectural background in a composition, drama, an emotional atmosphere - qualities which combine to make an exceptional masterpiece of the Tarnovo school of painting and monumental art.
The five historical monuments in this group (chapels, churches, etc.), dating from the 13th and 14th centuries, serve as examples that pave the way for the distinctive character development, and mastery in the art of the Second Bulgarian State /1187-1396/. The richness, the variety of the cells, chapels, churches, monastery complexes, the original architectural solutions - all set in a magnificent natural environment - confirm the value of this extraordinary historical grouping.
Criterion (ii): Many churches, chapels, monasteries and cells were cut into the natural rock along the Rusenski Lom river, during the 13-14th centuries. The "Church" frescoes reveal an exceptional artistry and a remarkable artistic sensitivity for 14th century painting and Bulgarian medieval art; they are an important achievement in the Christian art of South-Eastern Europe. Neo-classical in spirit and in elements of their subjects, the frescoes represent a departure from the canons of Byzantine iconography. They show close ties with expressive Hellenistic art and a clear preference for the nude, the landscape, an architectural background in a composition, drama, an emotional atmosphere - qualities which combine to make an exceptional masterpiece.
Criterion (iii): The extensive complexes of monasteries were built between the time of the Second Bulgarian State /1187-1396/ and the conquest of Bulgaria by the Ottoman Empire. The five historical monuments in this group, dating from the 13th and 14th centuries, the richness, the variety of the cells, chapels, churches, monastery complexes, the original architectural solutions - all of that set in a magnificent natural environment - confirm the value of this extraordinary historical grouping.
The property encompasses within its boundaries all the components necessary to convey its outstanding universal value but the rock massif, where the churches are situated, has serious stability problems. Over the years a continuous programme of research, and scientific, technical and design projects, have focussed on strengthening and stabilising the rock formation. A programme was carried out for the "Investigation, identification, stabilization and waterproofing of the rock massif" for The Church of the Holy Virgin. All of the statistical analyses are based on processing meteorological and instrument data, and studies.
Created in the natural cavities of a karst massif, the authenticity of shape, material and substance of the Rock-hewn Churches of Ivanovo has been preserved. Urgent conservation work has been completed on the valuable 13th and 14th century murals, whilst cleaning, stabilization and presentation of The Church of the Holy Virgin murals has also been carried out. This involved minimal retouching work, and the maximum retention of the original.
In consequence of a rock collapse in the early 20th century, the 13th century ceiling murals from the buried church of St. Archangels, have been rescued and moved to a new substrate. The first stage of work on the 14th century murals of the collapsed St. Todor Church has also been completed.

Through National Legislation the property has been protected, as a 'Reserve' since 1965 (Official Gazette No. 84 of 1965). Management is implemented through the Cultural Heritage Law (Official Gazette No.19 of 2009) and subdelegated legislation. This law regulates the research, studying, protection and promotion of the immovable cultural heritage in Bulgaria, and the development of Conservation and Management plans for its inscribed World Heritage List of immovable cultural properties.
Protection is also afforded by Ordinance No. 17 of the President of the Committee for Culture on Definition of Boundaries and Regimes of Use and Protection of Immovable Cultural Monuments outside Populated Areas (Official Gazette No. 35 of 1979); and The Protected Areas Act (Official Gazette No. 133 of 11 November 1998, as amended and supplemented).
In order to strengthen and stabilize the rock formation, there is a need to pursue the implementation of the conservation measures.
Long Description
In the valley of the Roussenski Lom River, in north-east Bulgaria, a complex of rock-hewn churches, chapels, monasteries and cells developed in the vicinity of the village of Ivanovo. This is where the first hermits had dug out their cells and churches during the 12th century. The 14th-century murals testify to the exceptional skill of the artists of the Tarnovo school of painting.
The period of the history of Bulgaria from the last years of the 12th century, when for the second time the country became independent from Byzantium, until the Ottoman Empire annexation in 1396, is known as the Second Bulgarian Empire. Independence from Byzantium could not be complete until the Bulgarian clergy became dependents of the Patriarch of Costantinopoli. In 1204, the Kaloyan Tsar signed an agreement with the Papacy in order to return as part of the Roman Catholic church. It was not to be a long-lasting agreement. During the reign of Tsar Ivan Ansen II, Bulgaria once again embraced Orthodox Christianity, but with its own Patriarch, not subordinate to Costantinople.
The first Patriarch was the monk Gioacchino, who shared with Ivan Ansen the plan to expand the Bulgarian church. Before taking over the Patriarchal throne he had lived as a hermit in a cave in the river Rusenski Lom valley, not far from the village of Ivanovo. The monk achieved so high a level of sanctity that Tzar Ivan Ansen entrusted to him the construction of a monastery, something which contributed to strengthen his image as a merciful monarch. The convent was built between 1218 and 1235 and had from the outset a rocky character; all its buildings were dug into the limestone cliff gorge of the river and its contributories.
In the years between 1331 and 1371 the monastery, thanks to further new royal donations, acquired the best of its artistic patrimony: the splendid frescoes attributable to the painters of the so-called Tarnovo School.
During the conquest of the country by the Ottoman Turks in 1396, the forgotten monastery of Ivanovo fell quickly into ruins and was abandoned. The solid limestone out of which it was carved and on which frescoes were painted enabled it to resist to the inclemency of the weather. Along the two walls of the Rusenski Lom river gorge there is a labyrinth of cells, of rooms, and above all of churches and chapels dug into the cliff face which were originally completely covered by frescoes, but of which only five are still in good condition.
Bearing in mind the fact that three of these churches go back to the reign of Ivan or immediately afterwards, they constitute remarkable evidence of the revolution in painting during the two centuries of the Second Bulgarian Empire. In the churches of the first period, the human figures are painted in the same realistic style, with oval faces and fleshy lips, and the colours of the clothing are bright. The 14th-century frescoes by contrast are in the classical style of the Palaeologic period.
The five churches and their frescoes are testimony to the Byzantine art influence in Bulgaria. The creation and decoration of these rock-hewn churches is largely attributable to the donations of the Bulgarian Tzars in the 13th and 14th centuries.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC

Willis Keeps Winning in the Family
November 17, 2010
The Willis family from Oklahoma is having an admirable season training racing American Quarter Horses.
Eddie Willis currently is second to Paul Jones on the list of the year's leading trainers by earnings with $2,746,600 and is fifth by wins, with 85. His eldest son, Kevin, 33, has won 14 races and saddled the earners of $150,286. Son Kasey, 30, has 19 wins and earnings of $348,360. Son Eddie L. "Bubba," 25, also trains racehorses.
"Dad always said he didn't want to pay help so he had sons," joked Kasey Willis, who is currently in New Orleans to send out Feature My Lover B in the $150,000 John Deere Juvenile Challenge Championship (G1), part of the Bank of America Racing Challenge Championships, on Friday at Fair Grounds Race Course.
Feature My Lover B, who races for Marty and Shalia Powers of Wynnewood, Oklahoma, is a 2-year-old daughter of Feature Mr Jess. Her second dam, Grade 1 qualifier Genuine Knockout, produced four stakes winners, including All American Futurity (G1) winner Falling In Loveagain and the dam of All American Derby (G1) winner Genuine Strawfly.
Raced exclusively in Oklahoma, Feature My Lover B has three wins in six starts and was a finalist in the Speedhorse Gold and Silver Cup Futurity (RG1) at Fair Meadows at Tulsa. She qualified to the Fair Grounds race by winning the John Deere Will Rogers Downs Juvenile Challenge on October 9 in her most recent race. Willis said the victory marked the first stakes win for her 20-year-old jockey, Augustin Silva, who later broke a hand, causing him to miss the trip to Fair Grounds.
Stormy Smith, who rides first call for Willis, will be aboard Feature My Lover B in the Juvenile Challenge Championship. Willis is confident in the filly, who will break from Post 5 in the field of 10.
"If she has a clean first 50 yards, they better be running because they're not going to outrun her," Willis said. "She's really fast."
Willis, who has been training on his own for two years, lives in Coleman, Oklahoma, where she currently has some 30 horses under his care.
"I've got (successful trainer) Rodney Reed seven miles from me; I've got Dad seven miles from me the other way, so I'm right in the middle of a lot of horses. I just wake up every day and try to beat them."
First post for Friday's 13-race card at Fair Grounds is 5 p.m. Central. For the first time, the Bank of America Challenge Championships will be featured on Horse Racing TV and available to the channel's 17 million subscribers, as well as free to view on AQHA's
Q-Racing Video
. During the "free weekend," nonsubscribers will be asked for a valid e-mail address to access the site. Q-Racing Video will be free and open to the world from 8 a.m. Friday, November 19, through the evening of Sunday, November 21. BY AMY OWENS

|Puppet Shows in Southern VT
From Sweden, the Dockteater Verkstan Puppet Theater company delights young audiences with its story about monkeys who have all sorts of zany adventures trying to run a circus
I wrote an entry Sept 12 about the amazing puppet shows in the Brattleboro and Bellows Falls area this past week. The festival winds up this weekend with multiple shows Saturday and Sunday. It is about a 2.5 hour drive from us but if I were in southern VT, this is what I would be attending this weekend. See the Puppets in the Green Mountains schedule here.

|Archaeology Weekend at Lake Champlain Maritime Museum
Hundreds of old shipwrecks lie at the bottom of Lake Champlain, well preserved by its chilly waters.
September is Archaeology Month in Vermont and there are a number of interesting events open to the public. One of the main events is this weekend at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum located near Vergennes, a few miles south of Burlington.
The museum has long been active in marine archaeology and its staff has helped in the locating and documenting of many shipwrecks lying at the bottom of the lake, some of them dating back to the Revolutionary War.
This weekend the museum will be showing three films: one about a gunboat from Benedict Arnold's fleet still lying at the bottom of the lake; the second about the birch bark canoe as used by native Americans and showing the construction of a replica of a canoe from the 1600's; and a third film presenting the findings of the Middlebury College ten year sonar survey of the lake bottom.
Visitors can work the Shipwreck Simulator to learn the skills of documenting a shipwreck site and take a behind- the-scenes tour of the Conservation Lab to meet the archaeologists working to preserve timbers from 1809 steamboat Vermont.
There will also be on-water boat excursions to the site of a shipwreck where visitors can watch a Remotely Operated Vehicle descend to the wreck and transmit back images to the on-board monitor. Space is limited on this excursion so register in advance by calling (802) 475-2022.
These events take place both Saturday, September 13 and Sunday, September 14 from 1:00pm-3:00pm. There is a discounted price for Archaeology Weekend of $10 per person, less than half the usual cost of $22 per person.
On Sunday, there will also be a canoe paddle to the site of an ancient Native American village near the confluence of Dead Creek and Otter Creek. This is a short canoe trip led by LCMM Staff Archaeologists who will show artifacts, give stone tool-making demonstrations, and lead a fish netting activity to catch the same fish species that Native Americans came here to catch centuries ago. This event is Sunday, September 14 from 9:30am - 3:30pm. $40/adults; $15/age 15 and under
In addition to these events, there are exhibits you can see including a photographs showing the seasons and "moods" of Lake Champlain taken by both professional and amateur photographers.
Another exhibit is called Fish Stories. It tells the stories of a number of Lake Champlains eighty-one fish species through a fish-eye lens. The exhibit includes paintings by local artists, recordings of fishing stories by seasoned Lake Champlain anglers, descriptions of Abenaki and Iroquois fishing practices, and examples of fishing equipment used over the centuries.
Maritime Machines is another current exhibit which consists of interactive stations around the museum where visitors can experience first-hand the specialized machines of the maritime trade. This includes a working steam engine of the 1893 steamboat Comet, a Windlass where visitors can actually move a heavy stone block across the ground, a set of working bilge pumps, a scale-model waterwheel powering a miniature sawmill and grist mill, bosuns chairs where visitors hoist themselves up like sailors do, plus others.

|Glory Days of Railroading This Saturday
Rare REO railbus (REO was a truck manufacturer that eventually added automobile manufacturing using the last name of its founder, Ransom E. Olds: Oldsmobile.
Railroad buffs should head over to White River Junction VT for the 16th Annual Glory Days of Railroad Festival this Saturday, September 6, 2008 from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. (Rain or Shine)
Adult admission is just $3 but excursion train ride is extra.
The VT Chamber of Commerce has twice (five years ago and last year) named the event a Top 10 Fall Event.
In addition to the railroad equipment displays and excursion train rides, there will be food, music, antique car show, and crafts.
This event is produced by the New England Transportation Museum located in the White River Junction Amtrak station. It has displays available year around if you can't make it to Glory Days.
When you are in the area, I recommend visiting two of my all time favorite towns: Hanover NH, home of Ivy League Dartmouth College, and Woodstock VT. It's my opinion that Woodstock is one of the prettiest villages in New England. There is a lot to see and do there including the Marsh Billings Rockefeller Park and Billings Farm and Museum, a very good place to take the kids too.

Bilirubin, Total, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Bilirubin is one of the most commonly used tests to assess liver function. Approximately 85% of the total bilirubin produced is derived from the heme moiety of hemoglobin, while the remaining 15% is produced from the red blood cell precursors destroyed in the bone marrow and from the catabolism of other heme-containing proteins. After production in peripheral tissues, bilirubin is rapidly taken up by hepatocytes where it is conjugated with glucuronic acid to produce mono- and diglucuronide, which are excreted in the bile.
A number of inherited and acquired diseases affect 1 or more of the steps involved in the production, uptake, storage, metabolism, and excretion of bilirubin. Bilirubinemia is a frequent and direct result of these disturbances.
Jaundice can occur as a result of problems at each step in the metabolic pathway. Disorders may be classified as those due to: increased bilirubin production (eg, hemolysis and ineffective erythropoiesis), decreased bilirubin excretion (eg, obstruction and hepatitis), and abnormal bilirubin metabolism (eg, hereditary and neonatal jaundice).
The most commonly occurring form of unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia is that seen in newborns and referred to as physiological jaundice. Elevated unconjugated bilirubin in the neonatal period may result in brain damage (kernicterus). Treatment options are phototherapy and, if severe, exchange transfusion.
The rare genetic disorders, Crigler-Najjar syndromes Type I and Type II, are caused by a low or absent activity of bilirubin UDP-glucuronyl-transferase. In Type I, the enzyme activity is totally absent, the excretion rate of bilirubin is greatly reduced and the serum concentration of unconjugated bilirubin is greatly increased. Patients with this disease may die in infancy owing to the development of kernicterus.
The increased production of bilirubin, that accompanies the premature breakdown of erythrocytes and ineffective erythropoiesis, results in hyperbilirubinemia in the absence of any liver abnormality.
In hepatobiliary diseases of various causes, bilirubin uptake, storage, and excretion are impaired to varying degrees. Thus, both conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin is retained and a wide range of abnormal serum concentrations of each form of bilirubin may be observed. Both conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin are increased in hepatitis and space-occupying lesions of the liver; and obstructive lesions such as carcinoma of the head of the pancreas, common bile duct, or ampulla of Vater.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Assessing liver function
Evaluating a wide range of diseases affecting the production, uptake, storage, metabolism, or excretion of bilirubin
Monitoring the efficacy of neonatal phototherapy
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The level of bilirubinemia that results in kernicterus in a given infant is unknown, While central nervous system damage is rare when total serum bilirubin (TSB) is <20 mg/dL, premature infants may be affected at lower levels. The decision to institute therapy is based on a number of factors including TSB, age, clinical history, physical examination and coexisting conditions. Phototherapy typically is discontinued when TSB level reaches 14 to 15 mg/dL.
Physiologic jaundice should resolve in 5 to 10 days in full-term infants and by 14 days in preterm infants.
In preterm infants, the risk of a handicap increases by 30% for each 2.9 mg/dL increase of maximal total bilirubin concentration.
When any portion of the biliary tree becomes blocked, bilirubin levels will increase.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Specimens should be protected from light and analyzed as soon as possible.
Grossly hemolyzed specimens should be rejected because hemoglobin inhibits the diazo reaction and falsely decreased results may be seen.
Compounds that compete for binding sites on serum albumin contribute to lower serum bilirubin levels (eg, penicillin, sulfisoxazole, acetylsalicylic acid).
Results from certain multiple myeloma patient specimens may show a positive bias. Not all multiple myeloma patients show the bias and the severity of the bias may vary between patients. In very rare cases, increased gamma globulin levels, in particular type IgM (Waldenstroms macroglobulinemia, may cause unreliable results.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
<1 month: not established
1 month-17 years: < or =1.0 mg/dL

Looking at the upcoming schedule, things look pretty daunting for the Fins. I can easily make an argument that they might not win a game until the home Jacksonville game. The playoff talk was premature and inappropriate. I have argued that this season is a process. With a rookie HC and QB and many moving parts, this season was about progression. I thought this was a 3-5 win team. Unfortunately, I think that they will end up closer to my prediction than many others around here.
I wonder if the rookie QB has hit the so called Rookie Wall. The O-line has misfits running the WCO System. The receiving group lacks a threat to take the top off the D. There is no pass rush opposite of Wake. The DB's lack talent and have no ball skills. The team is not that good right now. People have to understand that this is a process.
With that said, we are in for a brutal stretch going into the winter. Find resolve and believe in the process right now.
Buffalo: Traveling on a short week is tough. Chan Gailey is multiple in his formations and I think we will find Bills receivers running open versus our confused secondary. Spiller is similar to the type of RB that gives us issues. Buffalo will be tough to play at night with all the juiced fans.
Seattle: They do have to travel across country and the Fins will have additional time to prepare. Also, Lynch is the type of back I think we can handle. However, with that said, their D is so physical and a terrible match up for our O. Russell Wilson is Doug Flutie-like playing with pixie dust.
New England: Tom Brady might throw for 500 yards again. No chance to run it. Will have to toss it around, but I expect New England's pick up of Talib to help a lot.
San Francisco: There might be a chance here. Similar type of teams. However, SF has more talent and are at home.
This is going to be a tough stretch. The Dolphins have to get back to basics: run the ball, stop the run, get off the field on the 3rd down and start winning the turnover differential. Think block and tackle better than the opponent. If they can do that, let the chips fall as they may.

Hepatitis A Total Antibodies, with Reflex to Hepatitis A IgM Antibody, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is endemic throughout the world, occurring most commonly, however, in areas of poor hygiene and low socioeconomic conditions. The virus is transmitted primarily by the fecal-oral route, and is spread by close person-to-person contact and by food- and water-borne epidemics. Outbreaks frequently occur in overcrowded situations and in high-density institutions and centers, such as prisons and health care or day care centers. Viral spread by parenteral routes (eg, exposure to blood) is possible but rare, because infected individuals are viremic for a short period of time (usually <3 weeks). There is little or no evidence of transplacental transmission from mother to fetus or transmission to newborn during delivery.
In most cases, antibodies to HAV (anti-HAV) are detectable by the time that symptoms occur, usually 15 to 45 days after exposure. Initial antibodies consist almost entirely of the IgM subclass. Anti-HAV IgM usually falls to an undetectable level by 6 months after HAV infection. Anti-HAV IgG levels rise quickly once the virus is cleared and may persist for many years. Currently, commercial diagnostic assays are available for detecting only anti-HAV IgM (HAVM / Hepatitis A IgM Antibody, Serum) or anti-HAV total (IgM and IgG), but not anti-HAV IgG alone.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Detection and differentiation between acute/recent and past/resolved hepatitis A
Verification of immunity to hepatitis A
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A positive antihepatitis A virus (anti-HAV) total (both IgG and IgM) result indicates acute, recent, past/resolved exposure to hepatitis A, or immunity to hepatitis A from vaccination.
Testing for anti-HAV IgM (HAVM / Hepatitis A IgM Antibody, Serum) is necessary to confirm the presence of acute or recent hepatitis A. A positive anti-HAV total result with a negative anti-HAV IgM result indicates immunity to hepatitis A from either past/resolved hepatitis A or vaccination against hepatitis A.
Negative results indicate the absence of recent or past hepatitis A or a lack of immunity to HAV infection.
Borderline test results for anti-HAV total may be seen in: 1) acute hepatitis A with rising levels of anti-HAV IgM, 2) recent hepatitis with rising levels of anti-HAV IgG, or 3) cross-reactivity with nonspecific antibodies (ie, false-positive results). Retesting of both anti-HAV total and anti-HAV IgM (HAVM / Hepatitis A IgM Antibody, Serum) is recommended to determine the definitive HAV infection status.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Passively-acquired antibodies (eg, recent immune globulin administration, transfusion, maternal antibodies in infants <18 months of age) may result in transiently positive antihepatitis A virus (anti-HAV) total test results.
Regardless of exposure history, testing for anti-HAV total alone is insufficient to detect acute hepatitis A.
Performance characteristics have not been established for the following specimen characteristics:
-Grossly icteric (total bilirubin of >20 mg/dL)

-Grossly lipemic (triolein >3,000 mg/dL)
-Containing particulate matter
-Cadaveric specimens
-Immunocompromised or immunosuppressed

Hey Guys, maybe you have some practical suggestions...
Getting near 50 and the eyes aren't what they used to be. My welding is getting better with practice but I feel I am being held back by my vision. I have an autodarkening Jacskon helmet which works great but what do you do about correcting vision.
Do you wear glasses under the helmet? Do magnifying lenses work? Do I just learn by feel like I have over the years with young women in the dark... ooops I guess that is not a good option.
Let me know what works, it seems that magifying lenses would have a limited focal distance...

I use a cheater lens in the helmet. It's great. One thing, though: when I switched from standard lens to autodarkening... since the AD allows enough vision to move/walk around a bit, to get a tool, make adjustments, etc., the cheater leaves the world a blur, since I just need it for the closeup work. I guess some wear their bifocal glasses under the hood. I do wear bifocal $5 safety glasses under the hood, but don't try to use the magnifying part because I don't like the viewing angle.
a cheater lense is well worth trying out. it may not suit you but many like it, so its worth a try.thanks for the help
hope i helped
feel free to shoot me an e-mail direct i have time to chat. firstname.lastname@example.com
summer is here, plant a tree. if you don't have space or time to plant one sponsor some one else to plant one for you. a tree is an investment in our planet, help it out.
i have the miller performance series auto dark helmet and i wear my eye glasses and have a 1.50 cheater lense, i always flip my hood out of instinct to get a tool or clean a weld it is just habit from wearing a regular hood so long. try the cheater if your eyes are like mine you will love it,i went to the eye doctor at 47 because of low light blurriness by 49 full blown script tri focals.getting old stinks.

I use a combo of the above ideas depending on what I'm doing.
Mill and lathe work general grinding etc are done with safety
glasses with bifocals/readers built in. Depending what I'm welding
I'll use these under the helmet. But....
If I'm going to be doing lots of close up tig stuff I'll switch to
glasses with correction through the whole lens rather than
the little bifocals. If it's stick or mig work then I put the "cheater"
in the helmet and wear regular uncorrected safety glasses
under the hood. I generally don't have my face as close to
the work and the hood correction works ok.

Handy, if you havent already, pay a visit to the eye Dr. I was bull headed at 40 and never went until I could not see to read, now Im 55 and would be lost without them. I now wear bifocals and yes I wear them under my helmet, they are also prescription safety glasses. You may need to get a lighter or darker lense for your helmet if you are wearing glasses, it all depends on your light sensitivity. I tried magnifying glasses, threw them away a week later.
You only have one set of eyes, take care of them.Ken

I wear a cheater in my auto dark helmet; 2 x 4 1/4. I had to tape it in because I have the large view window. WOW, what a difference. Sure I'd like to be able to see without it; but at least I can see with it.RETIRED desk jockey.

nostalgic / theme
The term was originally coined in 1688 by Johannes Hofer (1669-1752), a Swiss medical student. The word is made up of two Greek roots, nostos = returning home, and algos = pain/longing), to refer to "the pain a sick person feels because he wishes to return to his native land, and fears never to see it again". This neologism was so successful that people forgot its origin. Moreover, its original meaning--referring to a serious medical disorder--has been lost as the word nostalgia entered everyday language. In today's common parlance it is a feeling, a yearning for a lost time and place, usually located in the near past. Homesickness is often given as a synonym for nostalgia.
Themes represent basic categories of thought, emotion, or value. While our assignment of themes may at times seem arbitrary or whimsical, they serve to link together artists and movements along non- hierarchial pathways. Follow the themes to look for new disciplines that share qualities with those you already like, or to open up new worlds of Art and Culture.

Dining with a Family
Experience the real Nazareth, its people, and culture by dining and relaxing with an Arab family in the heart of the Old City. The Fauzi Azar Inn now connects guests and travelers to the local Nazareth community in a new and exciting way!
About the Family
Hosting the dinner is Em Rami Nuwaiser, a Palestinian Israeli born and raised in Nazareth. Em Rami has been happily married to her husband for the past 33 years, and is the proud mother of five children, and grandmother of seven. The family regularly gathers at her house in the Old City to spend time together and eat Em Rami's tasty food, as she is the main cook in the family. Em Rami brought her culinary skills to the Fauzi Azar Inn five years ago and is the person behind the Inn's delicious breakfasts. She would like to welcome you over to sample authentic Arabic dishes and get a taste of the real Nazareth.
This is an intimate evening with other Fauzi Azar guests at the table of the Nuwaiser's Old City home for a traditional Arabic-style dinner, including tea and Arabic coffee.
Reservations and Information
Dinners at the Nuwaiser household are held any night upon request and cost 80 NIS per person. A minimum of five guests is required. Those interested must reserve their spots by 1:00 PM on the day of the dinner to allow for appropriate preparations, and meet in the reception area of the Fauzi Azar Inn by 6:00 PM. Attendees will be accompanied by a Fauzi Azar volunteer and guided through the Old City to the Nuwaiser home- less than a five-minute walk away. (Dinner at the Nuwaiser's is a non-alcoholic event.)
For questions or booking information, please contact the Fauzi Azar Inn by telephone at +972-4-6020469, or by email at [email protected].

A New Zealand coroner has linked the death of a 31-year-old woman to her Coca-Cola addiction.
Natasha Harris died Feb. 25, 2010 from a cardiac arrhythmia, according to a 19-page coroners report obtained by ABCNews.com. And while Harris, a mother of eight from Invercargill, New Zealand, was known to smoke heavily and skip multiple meals, coroner David Crerar concluded that the sugar and caffeine she got by drinking more than 2.6 gallons of Coca-Cola Classic per day was a substantial factor in her death.
When all of the available evidence is considered, were it not for the consumption of very large quantities of Coke by Natasha Harris, it is unlikely that she would have died when she died and how she died, Crerar wrote in his report.
Harriss partner, Christopher Hodgkinson, said Harris would get headaches and act moody without her Coke fix, according to the coroners report. Close friends said she would get the shakes and other withdrawal symptoms. Her heart would race, her liver was swollen, and her rotting teeth had to be removed. But, said the report, the family did not consider that Coke was harmful due to the fact of it having no warning signs.
Natasha Harris knew, or ought to have known and recognized, the health hazard of her chosen diet and lifestyle, Crerar wrote in his report, adding that fact that Harris had her teeth extracted several years before her death should have been treated by her, and by her family, as a warning.

Blind Eye Hostel & Guest House
When we decided to open a hostel in Prague, we wanted to provide not just another accommodation place in the famous Czech capital, but also a rather authentic experience for our guests. That's why we choose to open our place in the legendary mystic district of Zizkov. Our area is well known for the best and most diverse nightlife among locals, ex-pats and travellers that come to Prague more often - it even made people settle here for longer.
If you just want a quiet budget place to sleep, we make sure you are getting your rest and leave you in peace. In case you are up to do things with other travellers and locals, we take care of that as well. There is always someone who likes to show you around, teach you basic words in the local language, or simply provide some food for you..
We have a common room down at the reception where you are more than welcome to watch some movies, have a beer and/or simply some nice conversations.
Our friendly multinational staff is giving their best to make the best out of your stay. Free city-maps, lots of information about nightlife, food or simply how to continue your travels. We have the understanding for your needs - from travellers for travellers.
No need to mention that we are there 24/7 - even before your arrival you can contact the reception via Skype or email - in case there is anything else you need to know.
We like cleanliness and we assume that you do, too. We've even gone so far as to dedicate an entire floor of our facility to those who think that boys stink. Our ladies-only floor is open for business with plenty of clean, hot showers and 100% less testosterone.
Our amenities include fully equipped kitchens on each floor and facilities for staying safe, clean and healthy.
Safety can be a concern for some folks when travelling - we assure you Prague is one of the safest places you can imagine. In case of rip-off experiences, we would go that far to claim that our Zizkov-district is even much more safer than the very commercialised city center and especially the old town of Prague.
Our philosophy is simple: Take it easy, have a good time, and be polite about it. We are a family and everyone who works, sleeps or visits here is part of it. This means also and especially YOU.

Kosher Poultry
|Chicken Fire Poppers
by Esther Deutsch, CHIC Made Simple
For chicken:
For sauce:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with the garlic powder and onion powder. Dip the chicken pieces in the egg mixture, then coat with cornflake crumbs.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Fry the coated chicken pieces in the oil on both sides until golden and crispy. Let drain on paper towels for a few minutes, then transfer the chicken to a baking pan.
In a bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients. Pour the sauce over the fried chicken. Bake the chicken, covered, for 20 minutes (do not over-bake). Spoon the sauce from the bottom of the pan over the chicken, garnish with the chives, if desired, and serve warm.
Yield: serve 4-6
When preparing these poppers, use chicken cutlets that are not too thin, so there's a substantial bite.
