Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Type 1- and Type 2-Specific Antibodies, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2 are members of the Herpesviridae family, and produce infections that may range from mild stomatitis to disseminated and fatal disease. Clinical conditions associated with HSV infection include gingivostomatitis, keratitis, encephalitis, vesicular skin eruptions, aseptic meningitis, neonatal herpes, genital tract infections, and disseminated primary infection.
Infections with HSV types 1 and 2 can differ significantly in their clinical manifestations and severity. HSV type 2 primarily causes urogenital infections and is found almost exclusively in adults. HSV type 1 is closely associated with orolabial infection, although genital infection with this virus can be common in certain populations.
The diagnosis HSV infections is routinely made based on clinical findings and supported by laboratory testing using PCR or viral culture. However, in instances of subclinical or unrecognized HSV infection, serologic testing for IgG-class antibodies to type-specific HSV glycoprotein G (gG) may be useful. There are several circumstances in which it may be important to distinguish between infection caused by HSV types 1 and 2.(1) For example, the likelihood of reactivation of the infection (type 2 > type 1) and the method of antiviral therapy may be different depending on the specific type of HSV causing disease. In addition, the results of HSV type-specific IgG testing is sometimes used during pregnancy to identify risks of congenital HSV disease and allow for focused counseling prior to delivery.(2-3)
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Supplementing culture or molecular detection of herpes simplex virus (HSV) for the diagnosis of acute infection
Determining whether a patient has been previously exposed to HSV types 1 or 2
Distinguishing between infection caused by HSV types 1 and 2, especially in patients with subclinical or unrecognized HSV infection
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The presence of IgM herpes simplex virus (HSV) antibodies indicates acute infection with either HSV type 1 or 2.
The IgG antibody assay detects IgG-class antibodies to type-specific HSV glycoprotein G (gG), and may allow for the differentiation of infection caused by HSV types 1 and 2. The presence of IgG-class antibodies to HSV types 1 or 2 indicates previous exposure, and does not necessarily indicate that HSV is the causative agent of an acute illness.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Individuals infected with herpes simplex virus (HSV) may not exhibit detectable levels of IgM antibody in the early stages of infection.
Detection of IgG-class antibodies to HSV should not be used routinely as the primary means of diagnosing HSV infection. For patients presenting with presumed acute infection with HSV, a clinical specimen (eg, oral, dermal, or genital lesion) should be sampled and submitted for detection of HSV types 1 and 2 by rapid PCR (LHSV / Herpes Simplex Virus [HSV], Molecular Detection, PCR).
Serum specimens collected too early in the course of infection may not have detectable levels of HSV IgG. In cases of suspected early disease, a repeat serum specimen should be collected 14 to 21 days later and submitted for testing.
The presence of IgG-class antibodies to either HSV type 1 or 2 does not differentiate between remote infection and acute disease.
HSV serology cannot distinguish genital from nongenital infections.
The predictive value of positive or negative results depends on the prevalence of disease and the pretest likelihood of HSV-1 and HSV-2.
False-positive results may occur. Repeat testing, or testing by a different method, may be indicated in some settings (eg, patients with low likelihood of HSV infection).
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.
HSV TYPE 1 ANTIBODY, IgG
Negative (reported as positive, negative, or equivocal)
HSV TYPE 2 ANTIBODY, IgG
Negative (reported as positive, negative, or equivocal)
HSV ANTIBODY SCREEN, IgM, by EIA
Negative (reported as reactive or negative)

Wade Smith made the probowl? What!?!?
Yeah who would have thought we made a solid pick 10 years ago.
Schaub just showed why he may never be on the level of other elite QBs in the leagues. Lotta time left to make up for it though.
Going into halftime, i have one overwhelming thought: this is one boring game.
Maybe its just me but it can barely keep my attention on it. Foster seems to be the only one who wants to win this thing.

I'm also gonna be studying Jennings tonight, to see if he has his full explosiveness back.
Deshaun Watson is the TRUTH!
Joe Webb starting for the Vikings tonight. Only player in NFL history to start a playoff game after not attempting a pass in the preceding regular season. Should be interesting...for a while.

Travis' String of Road America Podium Finishes
NEWS June 10, 2011
Photo by Brian J. Nelson
Heading into the races at Road America, I was confident that I could get a good result, but didn't expect to have the incredible weekend that I did. Friday Practice and qualifying went extremely well. We unloaded the bike and hardly made any changes all day. I was 2nd in the provisional qualifying for Supersport and felt that I had a lot left under my belt. Saturday morning final qualifying and practice consisted of a 3rd fastest in the Supersport, and 2nd fastest on the XR1200. I was very happy to be on the front row and knew all I needed was a good start and I could hang with the lead pack of riders.
Supersport Race 1:
I didn't get the best start, I found myself in 6th place going into turn one. On the first lap, another rider crashed in front of me going into the chicane. I was worried that his bike would slide back onto the track so I slowed down a bunch and lost a bunch of ground on the riders in front of me. Eventually, I was able to catch back up to the 2nd place rider James Rispoli. We battled back and forth for a few laps until I got around him and broke the draft. With only a few laps remaining, I was sitting in second place with the leader in sight. I rode as hard as I possibly could and made up over two seconds on the leader but ran out of laps finishing 2nd place and my first podium in the Supersport class! I ended up running the quickest lap of the race and was convinced that with a few more laps, I would have been in contention for a win. But I settled for second place, and was more than ready for race two on Sunday.
XR1200 qualifying got underway and I knew I had to link up to a couple riders in order to get a good draft and a fast time. All the riders were very close in time and I ended up being 7th fastest. Although I was on the second row, I wasn't worried about the race because I knew it was going to be a close race no matter where I started. Sunday came around and I felt confident in both bikes to the point where I just put in some good track time in the warm ups. We made a gearing change with the 600 and I was right back down to my qualifying time so I was confident I could make a good run in the race. I spent most of the morning relaxing and preparing myself because the XR1200 and Supersport races were back to back.
XR1200 Race:
I got a good jump but found myself being swallowed up by the other riders into turn 1. I came around the first lap in 9th place right behind my brother Kyle. I was able to draft the riders really well and I felt confident on the brakes so I began picking off the riders one by one. Before I knew it I was at the lead of the pack. It was a very intense race because the top 7 riders were all fighting for that top spot and we were 4 wide in some spots just trying to get ahead of one another. I was in 4th place heading into the last lap and was able to get around a rider for 3rd. I held on strong, and tried to get a draft off of Eslick coming up the hill but couldn't quite pull it off and finished a very respectable 3rd. Right after that race had ended, I didn't even have time to stay for the podium ceremonies. I had to run back to the pits and hop on the 600 for Supersport Race 2.
Supersport Race 2:
After a very intense and exhausting XR1200 race, I spent my warm up laps re-adjusting myself to my 600 because the bikes are so different. Once again, I didn't get the start I was looking for and was running around 6th place. On the first lap a couple riders got together and wrecked coming into the last section. It was hard to make out how to avoid the wreck so I slowed way down and got passed by a couple riders. Coming up the hill and into turn one I was able to regain 6th place and focus on the riders ahead of me. A good battle erupted between Puerta, Myers, and Rispoli and myself that seemed inevitable. I was able to get the lead but struggled to hold it as the other competitors and I were passing back and forth. Eventually, I was able to put a little gap on myself and the other riders with four laps remaining. I had never been in that position before and starting making a couple mistakes due to the intensity of my situation. I had to physically tell myself that it was just a practice, I was the only one out there, and that I could just ride around without feeling the pressure. I came across the checkered flag with a four second gap over second place. I cant even begin to explain the feeling of relief and satisfaction that I had on that cool down lap. One of those moments I will never forget.
I have to give a big thanks to my entire team for all their support in such an amazing race weekend ! Thank you Harv's Harley-Davidson, AB1 Motorsports, Arai, REV IT, Long Pond Autobody, Super Seal, MotoOption, Markbilt, and Robb Hilfiker.

Geriatric Care ManagersSearch by State
What is geriatric care management?
Professional geriatric care management integrates senior health and psychological care with other services seniors require, such as: home care services, nutritional services, and assistance with daily living activities. After a comprehensive initial assessment, a geriatric care manager will create a care plan that's tailored to each individual's circumstances.
What do geriatric care managers do?
A geriatric care manager is a health and human services specialist who acts as a guide and advocate for families who are caring for older relatives or disabled adults. The geriatric care manager is educated and experienced in any of several fields related to care management, including, but not limited to nursing, gerontology, social work, or psychology, with a specialized focus on aging-related issues and elder care. Guidance includes:
- Assessment and monitoring
- Planning and problem-solving
- Education and advocacy
- Family caregiver coaching
Geriatric care managers use their expertise to assist seniors and their families with a variety of issues, including:
- Housing – helping families select appropriate level of housing or residential options
- Home care services – determining services that are right and assisting with engaging and monitoring those services
- Medical management – attending doctor appointments, facilitating communication between doctor, client, and family, and if appropriate, monitoring client's adherence to medical orders and instructions
- Communication – keeping family members and professionals informed as to the well-being and changing needs of the senior
- Social activities – providing social, recreational, and cultural opportunities to enrich the quality of life
- Legal – consulting with elder law attorneys and providing expert opinion for courts in determining level of care
- Financial – overseeing bill paying or consulting with accountants or senior's Power of Attorney
- Entitlements – providing information on federal and state entitlements and connecting families to local programs
- Safety and security – monitoring the senior at home; recommending technologies to enhance security or safety; and observing changes and potential risks of exploitation or abuse
How do you know if you need a geriatric care manager?
When caregiving for an aging family member becomes overwhelming, it may be time to contact a geriatric care manager. You may need a geriatric care manager if:
- The person you are caring for has limited or no family support
- Your family has just become involved with helping the individual and needs direction about available services
- The person you are caring for has multiple medical or psychological issues
- The person you are caring for is unable to live safely in his/her current environment
- Your family is either "burned out" or confused about care solutions
- Your family has a limited time and/or expertise in dealing with your loved ones' chronic care needs
- Your family is at odds regarding care decisions
- The person you are caring for is not pleased with current care providers and requires advocacy
- The person you are caring for is confused about his/her own financial and/or legal situation
- Your family needs education and/or direction in dealing with behaviors associated with dementia
What are the benefits of using a geriatric care manager?
Professional geriatric care managers can serve the needs of their clients by providing:
- Personalized and compassionate service — focusing on the individual's wants and needs
- Continuity of care management — communications are coordinated between family members, doctors, other professionals, and service providers
- Cost containment — inappropriate placements, duplication of services, and unnecessary hospitalizations are avoided
- Quality control – care management services follow the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers standards of practice and code of ethics
Also, most geriatric care managers are available to seniors and their families 24 hours a day, seven days a week with access to their cell phone number or answering service. The senior client usually knows the other members of the manager's team — nurses they work with or their support staff — in case the senior has a question and can't wait for the care manager to return a call.
How find a Geriatric Care Manager?
There are many places to find a geriatric care manager in your area. One place to start your search is the website of the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers (NAPGCM). You may also want to check with local healthcare professionals, hospitals and elder law attorneys.
Be sure to check the credentials of the care manager you are considering hiring to be sure they are a member of the NAPGCM, as well as a member in good standing of their basic professional organization, such as the National Association of Social Workers. They also should be certified by one of the certification boards.
How do I pay for the services of a Geriatric Care Manager?
Geriatric care management services are not covered by Medicaid, Medicare or most private health insurance policies. However, seniors may be able to bill some services to long-term care insurance, depending on individual case history. Most often, geriatric care management services are paid out of pocket by the client senior or their family. Some firms charge an initial assessment fee; others bill by the hour only. Some firms also require a retainer to cover the last month's bill.

The biological importance of the apoptotic process has gained increased attention in recent years, ranging from general to specific analysis and encompassing fields of research as diverse as developmental biology and toxicology. However, limitations in a number of experimental methods for apoptosis detection have led to a compromise between apoptotic assay information content, complexity, throughput and rate of technical success. The advent of caspase-based proteolysis assays has opened the door to rapid and definitive confirmation of apoptotic events. Here we describe a simple, sensitive and flexible assay that is as robust and informative when automated with state-of-the-art robotics as it is when performed manually at the benchtop.

- DERA State Funding
- DERA Projects
- Funding Sources
Federal Funding Overview
- Grants.gov Grants.gov is a single access point for over 900 grant programs offered by the 26 Federal grant-making agencies. The "Find Grant Opportunities" feature allows organizations to electronically find and apply for competitive grant opportunities from all Federal grant-making agencies.
- Catalog of All Federal Domestic Assistance This online Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance provides access to a database of over 1900 Federal assistance programs available to State and local governments (including the District of Columbia); federally-recognized Indian tribal governments; Territories (and possessions) of the United States; domestic public, quasi-public, and private profit and nonprofit organizations and institutions; specialized groups; and individuals.
Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA)
Since 2008, EPA has funded nearly 60,000 pieces of clean diesel technology through the National Clean Diesel Campaign. These technologies include emissions and idle control devices, aerodynamic equipment, engine and vehicle replacements, and alternative fuel options. The projects meet critical local air quality needs by deploying both proven and emerging technologies much earlier than would otherwise occur.
Project funding for the National Clean Diesel Campaign comes from the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act. As stipulated in the Act, 70 percent of DERA funds are to be used for national competitive grants, with the remaining 30 percent allocated to the states.
Diesel Emissions Reduction Act Grants (DERA 2012-2016)
In January 2010, President Obama signed legislation, H.R. 5809 (PDF) (6pp, 125K, January 2010, About PDF), reauthorizing DERA grants to eligible entities for projects that reduce emissions from existing diesel engines. The bill, passed by the Senate on December 16 and the House on December 21, authorizes up to $100 million annually for FY2012 through FY2016 and allows for new types of funding mechanisms, including rebates. $29.9 million was appropriated by Congress for FY2012.
Diesel Emissions Reduction Act Grants (DERA 2007-2011)
The Diesel Emissions Reduction Program (known as "DERA") was created under the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), Title VII, Subtitle G (Sections 791 to 797) (PDF) (551 pp, 1.3MB, January 2005, About PDF). This act gave EPA new grant and loan authority for promoting diesel emission reductions and authorized appropriations to the Agency of up to $200 million per year for FY2007 through FY2011. Congress appropriated funds for the first time under this program in FY2008 in the amount of $49.2 million, $120 million was appropriated for FY2009-2010, and $49.9 million for FY11.
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA 2009)
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) provided $300 million in new funding for national and state programs for the implementation of verified and certified diesel emission reduction technologies. Recovery Act funding for the National Clean Diesel Campaign allowed for the implementation of many additional projects.

Composition and Construction
Engineered Hardwood frame construction allows for greater durability and strength. Mortise and tenon joints have replaced traditional dowel construction used in frame construction. The mortise (hole or slot) is cut into one member and the tenon or tongue from the adjoining piece fits tightly so that, when glued, these joints act as if the wood has grown together. This method of interlocking joinery provides greater stability with fewer joints. Frames are constructed of 7-ply engineered hardwood panels for increased strength and durability. Frames are glued and stapled.
Mechanism Construction
The recliner, which is controlled manually by a lever, moves smoothly between positions -- engineered bushings at the pivot points ensure it. The foot rest extends to offer comfort and support.
Heavy gauge coil spring unit coils are linked together and attached to a heavy gauge border wire for consistency and longevity. Individualized coil seating units function independently of the other providing individual seating comfort for even support and weight distribution. Each spring is oven tempered to provide greater strength and durability.
The comfort soft seat cushion is designed and constructed to achieve a softer and supportive feel. A dense polyurethane foam core is laminated both top and bottom with a layer of soft foam and wrapped with polyester fiber to provide a comfortable seat and is encased in a non-woven ticking.
Semi-attached pillow styles are made with a core of soft foam wrapped in fiber. The foam and fiber back cushion adds durability. Encased in a non-woven ticking.

Felipe Massa believes Marcus Ericsson was 100 percent at fault for their coming together in qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix.
Putting in their final run as the clocked counted down, Ericsson tagged Massa, tipping them both into the barriers.
The accident meant that despite making it through into Q2 Massa was unable to take up his position. He qualified P16 for Sunday's race.
"Not so much to say," he told Autosport about the incident. "I gave space to him and he went over my car.
"I think it was possible to get to Q3, not easy but possible.
"It's another important moment that was finished for me so I'm not starting in a great position. It is not easy, very tough."
The Williams driver is not the only one who believes Ericsson holds the blame with the Caterham driver conceding he made a mistake - after Massa threw him off course.
"On my final push lap I was behind Massa going into Turn Five and he moved offline a bit which meant I had to change my braking point," explained Ericsson.
"I locked up and went into the barrier with him which was my mistake."
Ericsson to start from pitlane for 'recklessly' colliding.

Gov't Forces Businesses to Overcharge Customers
Consumers and entrepreneurs—not the government—should decide how much a ride from a car service should cost. Consumers need the government protecting them from affordable prices as much as they need a government agency protecting them from pillows that are too soft.
Government-imposed minimum-fare rules don't help consumers. All they do is increase costs, stifle innovation and protect industry insiders from competition—hardly a wise or constitutional use of government power.
Tampa is one of only a handful of places where a minimum fare law like this is imposed, in this case by the Hillsborough County Public Transportation Commission: Most jurisdictions recognize that consumers don't need the government's protection from low prices.
It is unconstitutional for Hillsborough County Public Transportation Commission to harm consumers by forcing them to be overcharged. It is also unconstitutional for this county agency to harm small business owners by preventing them from growing their businesses and creating jobs by offering better values to their customers.Read more

Instead of emitter holes, Chapin Drip Tape has slits spaced 8" apart. The slits close when the water is off, almost eliminating most externally-caused plugging problems. Chapin Drip Tape is the best on the market, and is now available in home scale as well as commercial sizes.
We offer three different thicknesses: 5 mil, which should last at least one year, 8 mil which should last 2-3 years, 15 mil which should last 3-5 years -- these years assume the Drip Tape is installed on the surface of the soil. All sizes will last much longer if buried 1"–4" below the surface. Protect against internal clogging by flushing your system for at least 30 minutes after "fertigating" (fertilizing while irrigating). Don't use Drip Tape if your water has heavy mineral deposits.
Drip Tape must be used on low water pressure (5–15 PSI), achieved by installing a pressure regulator. At 10 psi, Drip Tape with 8" spacing distributes 40 gallons per hour (GPH) per 100'. If you are using ½" poly as your supply line, you can run a total of about 600' of drip tape off of each supply line.
Line layout depends on your soil and the water needs of your plants. When planting in beds, lines are usually spaced about 9" apart. Three parallel lines for a 3 ft wide bed, or four for a 4' bed. Sandy soils might require closer spacing. On level ground, a single run should not be longer than 450'. Drip Tape needs to be kept flat, which can be achieved with U-Shaped Ground Staples. Install Drip Tape only on slopes of 3% or less. The more level the ground and the shorter the run, the more even or uniform the water flow will be throughout the run. If the run slopes downhill, more water will go to the end. If the run is too long, or goes uphill, more water will be emitted at the beginning.

|Trash: Gapsa Temple (갑사)
|VisitKorea does not guarantee the quality of products or services introduced on its site and is not responsible for any direct or indirect losses resulting from use of said products or services.
|Gapsa Temple is located in Mt. Gyeryongsan National Park, about 19km from Gongju-si. It was established by monk Adohwasang in 420, during the Baekje Period (234-678), and is a well known temple for acquiring numerous cultural treasures.
Once you pass the parking lot, you will come across a market area, the ticketing booth, and then pass through Iljumun, the main gate. The parking lot to Gapsa Temple is less than 2km, but the road passes a famous area known as Ori Forest. In the spring, the apricot flowers bloom, and in the summer, lush green forest covers the area. In the fall, the leaves turn into beautiful hue of crimson red to create a spectacular view of the road. When you enter Gapsa, the first thing that will catch your eye is the temple's lecture hall. There is a big sign with words written in blue, "Gyeryonggapsa", at the entrance of the building. Tt is part of Gapsa's uniqueness as it cannot be seen elsewhere. To one side of the lecture hall is the Dongjonggak, which houses the Dongjong (copper bell). Daeungjeon, the main building, is behind the lecture hall. If you go left from Gapsa's lecture hall, there are the Pyochungwon and Palsangjeon buildings. Pyochungwon is where portraits of the high priests Yeong-Gyu, Sa-Myeong, and Seo-San, (who also served as monk-soldiers during the Imjinwaeran war with Japan in 1592-1598 ) are kept. High priest Yeong-Gyu, especially, took lead in leading monks to become soldiers. Pyochungwon was created to honor them. Above Pyochungwon stands the Palsanjeon building. It is so named because Palsangdo, on which the life of Buddha was divided into eight parts and described with pictures, is preserved here. The spot where these two building are is the most beautiful area to view the autumn leaves. If you keep following the road past Gapsa Temple, the Gyeryongsan Mountain trail walk appears. There is a traditional Teahouse nearby, and the valley beside the place is also very beautiful. Across the valley you can see Gongu Tower. Follow the road going off to one side of the Gongu tower and Daejeokjeon, as well as Cheoldanggan will appear. Cheoldanggan is what is raised up between two Danggan pillars. Originally there were 28 Cheoltongs connected t each other, but four of them broke during Go-Jong's reign, and now there are only 24 Cheoltongs left.
Gapsa is famous for its beauty during the fall. Maple trees, gingko trees, and numerous other trees with large leaves are planted, and they create a very natural and beautiful autumn landscape.

|Temple Stay in Gapsa
Gapsa Temple has offered temple stay programs for foreigners since the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea. The temple is easily accessible from the major metropolitan regions and southern regions of Korea, drawing a variety of people of different origins, occupations, and ages.
The one-night, two-day program is an introduction to typical Korean temple life. The most popular programs are the forest walk along the trails of Mount Gyeryongsan and the Buddhist martial arts class designed to strengthen the body.
Those interested in ceramics can sign up in advance to take pottery classes during their temple stay. Participants can also make a rubbing, patterned after Gapsa's famed wooden printing blocks of Worinseokbo (Treasure No. 582) to take home as a souvenir.

Funky Bobby J wrote:They initially said yes and then nixed it. We were all disappointed. I do not know if they had the bike trail in the works. That is a neat piece of property. I had heard that the water treatment plant did not want anything near it, and then voila - the bike trail went right by there.
Honestly, if we wanted to make a clean slate with the whole park - there are some really cool options, but maintenance could be an issue. The woods next to 9 and 10 are sparse in places, the power line cut and the woods to either side could make for some interesting holes.
Since they have been cleaned up and a few more tress removed, holes 3 & 4 are much better (still a little silly from the blue tees). Hole 2 is much tougher now with the trees lining the fairway on both sides. The woods holes have been cleaned up a lot and the tee pads tweaked. Ultimately, it is what it is. I doubt that anyone would be willing to start from scratch, and I do not know if it would really be worth it.
Take hole 6. It is one of the most scenic holes on the course, but it is not really well thought out. For my money, the white pad is the most interesting. There is real risk/reward - lay up short of the creek, try a flick thru the larger left side hole, try to throw right at it, or throw a huge hyzer - a really cool pad. For 90% of us, the blue and reds are just throw short of the creek, throw across, and putt in. We take 3 80% of the time with an occassional 2 and sometimes a 4. If the red pad was 25 feet to 30 feet closer, even rag arms like me start to think about trying to slide under the oaks. But all the pads are in the way of hole 5.
It is really a mediocre tournament course due to pad & pin location. Keith & Rand have done a pretty good job mitigating the issue, but a total rethink might really help for overall course play. It would take some really serious work...

If the layout works that I'm setting up for the ATL OPEN to use, it may be Central - keep looking and I'll post for sure as things get closer.

richardhead wrote:I hate to disagree, but I don't think this is a trend that we need to start. Don't get me wrong, I've paid to play many times, but it was at a course that was worth the money. Unfortunately Central doesn't fit that description IMO. Private courses and State Park courses are one thing. Starting a trend of pay to play no matter where you go is unnecessary in my opinion. I realize you are only talking about Central at this point, but it wouldn't take long and all local courses will try to adopt this same thing.

I'm all about a better end result. I'm just not sure that the money raised by course fees would go back into the course. It's my opinion that most counties have already written disc golf off as a loss and they would use this money to recoup that loss. The money may not make it back into the course.
The main problem that Atlanta has is that there aren't any permanent courses that will attract a national audience. There's no where in the city that we could hold a National Tour that would be worth while. We would be ridiculed. The only exception to this would be in Augusta, but they've denied the old school courses there in order to hype up a rather lack luster IDGC. If we could attract the creme de la creme of this sport I think Parks and Rec people would be more open to change. Until then, disc golf will be considered a risk and waste of money to these people.

Test ID: ASHA
Arsenic, Hair
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Detection of nonacute arsenic exposure
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Arsenic circulating in the blood will bind to protein by formation of a covalent complex with sulfhydryl groups of the amino acid cysteine. Keratin, the major structural protein in hair and nails, contains many cysteine residues and, therefore, is 1 of the major sites for accumulation of arsenic. Since arsenic has a high affinity for keratin, the concentration of arsenic in hair is higher than in other tissues.
Arsenic binds to keratin at the time of exposure, "trapping" the arsenic in hair. Therefore, hair analysis for arsenic is not only used to document that an exposure occurred, but when it occurred. Hair collected from the nape of the neck can be used to document recent exposure. Axillary or pubic hair are used to document long-term (6 months-1 year) exposure.
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.
0-15 years: not established
> or =16 years: 0.0-0.9 mcg/g of hair
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Hair grows at a rate of approximately 0.5 inch/month. Hair keratin synthesized today will protrude through the skin in approximately 1 week. Thus, a hair specimen collected at the skin level represents exposure of 1 week ago, 1 inch distally from the skin represents exposure 2 months ago, etc.
Hair arsenic >1.00 mcg/g dry weight indicates excessive exposure. It is normal for some arsenic to be present in hair, as everybody is exposed to trace amounts of arsenic from the normal diet.
The highest hair arsenic observed at Mayo Clinic was 210 mcg/g dry weight in a case of chronic exposure that was the cause of death.

As the cardinals of the Catholic Church meet to pray about and elect a new pope, Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend hopes they look to the qualities of the last two popes.
Rhoades said the church has been blessed by the holiness and intellectual gifts of both Pope John Paul II and his successor, current Pope Benedict XVI.
"Both were great teachers of the faith and great pastors," Rhoades said Monday after a news conference about the stunning news Pope Benedict, 85, plans to resign effective Feb. 28 because of his advanced age and lack of strength.
Benedict became pope in 2005 following the death John Paul II, who suffered from Parkinson's disease for many years and died while still pope.
This is the first time in 600 years a pope has resigned while in office, news reports said. Rhoades said he learned shortly before his press conference that Benedict will be the seventh pope to have resigned during the church's approximately 2,000-year history.
"This is evidently something he thought and prayed about, and you could see it in his statement," Rhoades told media.
The resignation raises many questions, however, such as what title, if any, Benedict will hold after he resigns, where he will live and what he will do.
In his statement, Benedict said he plans to continue serving the church through a life of prayer. Citing Benedict's great intellect, Rhoades said, "I wouldn't be surprised if he continues his writing."
Rhoades said he has read Benedict's speeches and transcripts of his Mass homilies each week, and they have been very helpful to him.
"I am going to miss that," he said.
Rhoades said he has met Benedict five or six times during his time as a bishop, first while bishop in Harrisburg, Pa., and since January 2010 as the leader of the Fort Wayne-South Bend diocese.
"I always felt I was in the presence of a holy man," he said.
Benedict was warm, kind, soft-spoken and devoted his entire attention to you when speaking with you, Rhoades recalled. During his last visit a year ago with other Indiana bishops, Benedict was eager to learn about the church's work in this state and asked a lot of questions.
But Rhoades said Benedict looked a little tired then, and he has seemed visibly fatigued this past year when Rhoades has seen the pope on television.
Rhoades learned of the pope's resignation announcement about 6:15 a.m. this morning after working on his homily for Mass this Wednesday, Ash Wednesday, the start of the Lenten season.
He believes the church's cardinals, the second-highest ranking clergy following the pope, will meet soon after Benedict leaves office Feb. 28, and the church likely will have a new pope elected by Easter.
"I would ask our people to keep this as a very special intention in their Lenten prayers," he said.

Alex Smith is better at 21 yard passes also.
8 of 17 for 3 TD and 1 int.
I'm sure their are many more if I found 3 just like that.
Failed Thread!
The kid is doing great and the team needs better players at receiver,TE, and better OL play, and lets say Bush like he played at the beginning of the season.
hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus"
for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!
Their only issue is that they cant break tackles and cant get yards after catch, although they will catch anything. We need a playmaking, big bodies WR that can command a double team. With this QB, that would majorly open it up for Hartline!
In looking back at everyone who argued in Philbin's offense, one does need a number 1 WR, I wonder how they feel about those statements now. Green Bays offense works because they have a number 1 reciever. They actually have 2 number one's and a couple number 2's (playing number 3 roles.)
I believe any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle...Victorious

Scratch the surface of what's possible.
Jesse Burtner does a lot of things on his snowboard that most people would never even think of, let alone believe was possible. That's why he needs a board that's versatile enough to handle all of his unpredictable journeys and wild ideas. The Lib Tech Burtner's Box Scratcher BTX Snowboard is a freestyle jibbing machine with a soft enough flex to fulfill all your jibbing and buttering desires, yet it's still responsive enough to shred all over the mountain and boost off of booters.
Featuring a mellow version of Banana Technology, the Box Scratcher has rocker in the middle with just slightly cambered sections extending from the bindings towards the tip and tail for a stable, playful feel. Magne-Traction provides edge hold on icy slopes so you can still tear it up in the park while other kids are sliding out on their butts left and right, and Power Transfer internal sidewalls give you greater heel-to-toe response for hard, fast carves that other park boards only dream of.
The Power A core delivers lightweight pop using sustainably-harvested wood, and a combination of biax and triax glass maintains the perfect balance between flexible and responsive. It also has a durable sintered base and the edges come pre-beveled so you can start sliding kink rails the moment you take this thing out of the plastic.

Hi. I'm 5'8'' and 180lbs. Would 147 be too short for me? Riding both in and outside the park.
Travis Tzioumis
Board size is mostly a matter of personal preference, some people like short boards, some like longer ones. Riding smaller boards my only concern is boots not fitting well on the board. This has a waist width of 251mm I would say as long as your boots are size 9.5 or smaller and you wear medium size bindings you wont have a problem with boot overhang. My personal preference is that short boards belong in the park. Keep in mind that the shorter your board is the closer the contact points will be so if you like to bomb it you wont have as stable of a base that with a longer board. Should be super fun for jibbing though.
Alex Bass
I'm about your size and I ride between a 151 and a 154 for my park boards. That's plenty short enough for jibbing, but still long enough to rip groomers and powder with. Anything shorter will be rideable, just not as stable or versatile.

MADISON, Conn. - The Quinnipiac University women's cross country team ended the 2010 season with a 20th place finish at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Div I Northeast Regionals meet on Saturday. The women's 6k race was hosted by Yale and Fairfield and was held at Hammonasset State Park in Madison, Conn. at Noon.
"We had a great year, said Head Coach Carolyn Martin. "We've learned a lot from every meet we ran this year and I'm excited to see what the women can do in the future."
The Bobcats finished 20th out of 35 teams. Sophomore Becca White (Natick, Mass.) finished first for Quinnipiac and in 35th place overall with a time of 21:14.3. White was recently named Quinnipiac Female Athlete of the Month for November.
Amanda Faust (Macungie, Pa.) finished next for the Bobcats with a time of 22:15.8, while her sister Brianna finished fourth for Quinnipiac in 22:39.3. Fifth-year graduate student Kristen Stevens (Succasunna, N.J.) crossed the finish line in 22:27.6 as the Bobcats' third runner.

I'm all flumoxed
My LO is still in the early stage, I think. I say this because he can still move about and function pretty good. Eating is getting sloppy. He gets confused when he's dressing in the morning. I get him in the shower, but he can do the rest himself and get out on his own. He still shaves now and then and stays by himself when I go bowling twice a week. He has no concept of time and will ask about time and day several times a day. He can't retain anything I say or follow even simple direction but he remembers that he has pills to take or the gardener's coming, things like that. He tries, but can no longer carry an intelligible conversation. He hallucinates often, mostly kids, people, animals, but is easily redirected when I tell him that, for example, there are no kids playing croquet in the back yard. The problem is me. I know I've seen nothing yet and hate to be a whiner about it, but I'm in a constant state of anxiety. Not to characterize it as anxiety attack level, but constantly on edge. When I'm in the other room, he hollers wondering where I am. When I open the pantry door he asks what I'm doing. Now that I'm typing on the computer, soon he will come in wondering what I'm doing. Most of the time, I have several things in my head that I'm in the process of doing and when he asks all the time, it makes me forget what I've done and what I'm about to do. These aren't the things you can stop and make a list about. For example, heading to the room to put some clothes away and seeing that something needs to go in the pantry first. You do the pantry, he stops you in your tracks, and you forget the clothes. Then when you're back in the room for something else, you see the clothes that you didn't put away and forget why you came back to the bedroom that time. Reminds me of a humerous tale about a gal describing her day saying she took the empty pie tin to the trash and along the way saw a pair of socks that needed to be put away, and along the way yada, yada, and at the end of the day she still hadn't thrown the pie tin away (or something to that effect). I know, it's pretty petty and that's not all that has me on edge as I know you all know. Sheesh. Anyway, aside from anti-anxiety meds, what are some suggestions as to how I can calm myself. This is actually calming, but I can't do this all the time. I don't have an outlet, other than bowling and that's bowling, not relaxing, per se. Ideas on how others handle this frustration would be appreciated. I know the constant interruptions are part of the process and that they will get worse, but how are others handling it to maintain their health and sanity?

Re: I'm all flumoxed
Forgive yourself, a lot. The conversations I've had in my head to remain calm and look for the bright side when it seems worst have helped me considerably. At times I have to look back and find the positive in things later. When it's really bad, I've gone to the car in the garage and called my sister, my mom, or my friend. Sometimes I just sit and cry or call them and they just listen to the latest crazy, or frustrating turn of events that has happened (it's not always something Ted has done--it can be the paperwork, doctors, regulations, the a/c going out on a long weekend, the nail in the tire, or a combo all at one time). I'm getting better at telling myself "it's good enough", or that it doesn't matter if the laundry isn't done right now. You get better at NOT trying to control everything. It's actually helped me to have better days, and surprises of some happy things that happen inbetween because my plans were thrown out the window. This past weekend, I had Ted home for a visit. Our dinner of hamburger helper with our youngest daughter was the best--even tho I'd planned on going out, that's what they wanted. I decided to go with it and ended up having such a relaxing, nice time with them. I still haven't cleaned up the spilled food crumbs, but heck, I'll get to it. It's a happy reminder of how much Ted enjoyed his 2 helpings! Take care, each day has its challenges and know that you're doing your best.

Re: I'm all flumoxed
Thank you so much. In the course of my day, often the tears roll down my cheek and I tell myself I really need to just sit with someone and cry. I do have my sister I can call, but it seems when we're on the phone, I just can't let go. I talk to my son and I'll start to cry, then fight it. I've driven to the store and called my friend out of state and we talk, but I just can't let go. I need my mommy!!! My brother died two years ago and I was able to sob. The tears flowed freely when it first happened, then after that I shed my tears in private. I don't know what it is. Perhaps it's partly due to my mom always telling me to pray on it and that it could be worse...or that someone else has it worse, etc. She's was right, you can always find someone worse off than you. My problems are insignificant. I've thought of seeing a counselor but that just makes me more anxious. I've been the rock in my family, for all my siblings, when we lost mom, then my brother. I was caregiver to both. The tears are rolling down my cheek now writing this and I know I just need a good cry. Stifling the tears just leads to more anxiety. You have shown that others have this need to just talk and cry. The road to "calm" is not lonely after all.
God bless you for sharing,

Re: I'm all flumoxed
Terri, I remember when I went to a dementia support group for the first time in 2008. My husband was in the hospital and then in rehab for a couple of weeks so I was able to get out. The first group meeting, I cried nonstop. That's all I did--I could barely introduce myself. But I wasn't crying for sorrow but because I had finally found people who were going through the same situations I was. It was such a relief! I hadn't found this forum yet and it was my only support at that time.
If you can possibly get away and there is one in your area, find an Alzheimer's support group [there are plenty of Lewy families there, too!]. Even if you only cry and listen, you will feel better.
God bless you!! Hugs!

Re: I'm all flumoxed
Thank you Pat. There is one in my area. I told my husband about it and suggested I go first to see if there are patients there. I'm thinking it would be so good for him if there were. He seemed ok, but when the time came for me to go to my first one, he seemed apprehensive about my going. He didn't say as much, just interpreting his behavior gave me the clue. I was also scared to go, knowing I would probably cry the whole time. Make any sense? Maybe one day soon.

Re: I'm all flumoxed
Your situation sounds so much like my very own. I like to think my husband is still high functioning (kind of) except I do not go out alone, ever, except to talk with a neighbor and I can keep my eye on the front door. If I am on the phone, he wants my attention for something. I am afraid if I leave him alone, he will forget where I'm at and go looking for me. One thing I have learned to do was to say no to people. No to baby sitting, no to volunteering, no to bake sales no to any extra that will make my load harder. At first, three years ago when he was diagnosed, I cried all the time. I cried at the loss of our life as it used to be. Its hard on the family too. This morning our oldest boy saw a picture of his Dad and his son, (our grand son) and it almost made him cry. He said "Dad looked so strong". I take my husband every where I go. He still has good opinions and ideas and I still see glimpses of what we used to have but when he gets tired at night, he can't figure out the back from the front of his clothes and I know its not ok but I just help him dress and pretend its "no big deal". I don't know how much longer we have together but I do know that this is "our time". So much of our 55 years of marriage has been doing for others, working, raising kids, baby sitting, Sunday school, PTO, EMS, bake sales, fund raising. I could go on and on as I'm sure many others can also. But our remaining time is "our time" and I plan to make it as happy for both of us as I am capable of. Oh I know I have back sliding every day and feel sorry for myself, but then I have to trust in my Lord.
Thank you for listening

Re: I'm all flumoxed
I can so relate. I cry when I walk for my morning exercise. ( I am able to leave him for that and getting groceries but that's all) I cry when he takes his naps. I cry after he has gone to bed in the evening. And I cry when I talk to our sons. But on the brighter side, there are times when I don't cry doing any of those things. I read recently that Lewy Body robs our loved ones of their "essense". That really struck a chord with me. I do cry for his lost essense. Yet, we laugh too. Our son came out on Monday to take my husband's guns out of the house and when my husband was out of the room, my son and I were discussing my husband's condition. The next day he asked if we had been talking about putting him in a home. We weren't. It broke my heart but then I asked him, "Do you think I'm just going to take you to a home and tell you to get out". We both laughed as he gestured with his leg in a kicking motion. I told him if and when that time comes we will have many talks about it. I miss what we had, I miss what we won't have and I so miss "my Mitch"...and now more tears but that's ok because with tears there is a release and my heart doesn't ache quite as much.

Re: I'm all flumoxed
Hi, Terri. Sorry I haven't been around lately. But I do have some suggestions.
First, recognize that he may not be "early stage" anymore - and then forget about stages. Don't expect him to be the man he was 10 or 20 years ago. He isn't and isn't likely to be again. Enjoy the person he is now. You're likely meeting the young, not complicated by many years of life, boy/man. Talk with him about simple things. Enjoy the boy and find some humor in it. A huge benefit - yes, benefit - I got out of caregiving was learning a bit about who my mom was before growing up interfered.
Consider enrolling him in a senior day program, even if it is just for a few afternoons a week. He needs stimulation, but simple stimulation. It is also very likely that he needs to get out more and socialize on his own, but in a supervised situation. In a senior day program, activities are tailored to the needs of the individual. I also found that advice and observations from the nurse and social workers there were very helpful.
While having Mom at home, I was (and still am) working full time. I didn't realize how hard that was for her, to be in the house all the time, alone or with an aide. And since Mom was extremely good at "showtime," I couldn't get assistance for someone to be there all day, M-F. People say they'll visit, but too often, something gets in the way. (Mom actually got more visitors when she was in the nursing home) Don't take showtime as the indication of how well he is doing. Journal his challenges and accomplishments and share the journal with doctors and other professionals who are involved in his care. If a professional doesn't take your observation seriously, use a cell phone or camcorder to capture the challenge and show it to them.
What I was starting to say was that full-time work made it hard to get to support groups. Even the wonderful Saturday program run by the U of M's Wayne Caron Center wasn't possible because Mom was too advanced for their "early" group and I couldn't get someone to stay with her. So I found my own "support group" in a mental health counselor. He was wonderful. Not only did he understand what I was going through, but he added a "professional" view of how I was doing. That back-up was really important.
Someone on this forum, who is/was in the early stages, described how LBD felt as too many thoughts running through his mind too fast. I asked Mom if that was how it was for her and got a tearful nod. At that point, she couldn't find words anymore. But even those who can talk may not be able to articulate their feelings. I know it meant a lot for Mom to know that someone else had an inkling of what it was like for her. (Bayoucajun, if you're still reading, you made a huge difference for Mom.) There's nothing wrong in asking questions about how this is for your LO. Just keep things simple and easy to follow.
This advice also helped me in the entertainment area. TV programs and movies made recently usually have multiple plots and move very quickly. When I switched to old movies (1960s and before) and old TV shows, she enjoyed them and was seldom bored. Somewhere around the 70s, producers seemed to think that entertainment should be challenging, I think. Simplicity (not to be confused with condescending) is the key. Mom also enjoyed some children's movies and shows, again not "baby stuff" but with one plot and with bright colors.
And try to keep your sense of humor. Sometimes that's all the help you can get.
Best wishes.

Re: I'm all flumoxed
I read recently that Lewy Body robs our loved ones of their "essense"
I think we all need to look at the change in our LO in the way that works best for us. What I consider "essence" is what my mom was born with. The nature that underlies the lessons of experience. Mom never lost this essence. It was the experience that was stripped away to reveal her real essence. What it revealed was a wonderful, kind and sensitive soul with a lively curiosity and a strong sense of humor (which is why I think she married Dad.). Life had administered a number of cruel lessons to her but LBD restricted those lessons and showed me the person she was meant to be - not hugely different from the Mom I knew but without the disappointments and the need to protect herself. Anxiety was still there, but it came from a different place.
LBD affects our LOs in many different ways. It is important for each of us to find the descriptions, references and advice that works best for each of us. But I would guess that what makes Mitch the person is and has always been is still there somewhere. That kick came from him - the person he's always been. Know that the man who loves you is still there, understands your worry and appreciates what you are doing for him.
BTW, great point about asking him a question and getting an answer, even if the words can't come out. We all should remember that, even if it is hard for our LO to talk
us, we should still talk
them as we always have. Maybe slower and maybe without the 5-syllable words, but keep the conversation going. It's important for both of you.
It sounds like you are maintaining a wonderful relationship with Mitch. 'Atta girl!

Re: I'm all flumoxed
Kate, I hope that who Derek is now is
his true essence. Certainly his inhibitions have been muted by the disease but I prefer to think that his personality has been warped by Lewy.

Re: I'm all flumoxed
Dear Katelu,
Thank you for your words of wisdom. You're right, I am so fortunate that he has maintained his sense of humor... even on the return flight from Hawaii (our son & DIL took us) when paramedics took him from the plane to the hospital, even when hospitalized in April with an infection that almost did him in, even when he can't button his shirt or pull the covers over himself in bed without my help. No marriage is perfect and we've had some tough times but I am so thankful that I stuck around for these 36 years together. I am not thankful for this disease but I am thankful we are going through it together. I will be thinking about your words today and looking more closely at his essense, my essense and the essense of our marriage.

You are all so kind in your responses, and helpful. I've picked up some wonderful suggestions here, some I hadn't thought of and some I've already tried. To be able to reach out and find others who can empathize and offer support makes the road much less lonely. Thank you all.

Re: I'm all flumoxed
You gave someone the advice of "Don't expect him to be the man he was 10 or 20 years ago" You went on and said "enjoy the person he is now". This is something that I have thought of many, many times. Even though I hate this ugly disease, I feel fortunate to see him as a young man and as you say "uncomplicated by life". He is so sweet and gentle but many days reminds me of a pre schooler. Good thing I always loved the pre school age. I think one of the most important things that has happened is my attitude adjustment. I needed to get past the grief stage before I could accept this child like man for who he is now.
I am still having problems coping with insensitive remarks from others. Some have made comments to me such as "he'll out live you because you give in to him all the time". Or "this is so unfair to you". What do they expect me to do? This is my husband. I can never think of anything to say back to these insensitive remarks. When we are together, we laugh, dance, take walks, shop together, gardening, even talk politics. (good year for that) These insensitive people don't see that part of my life.
I tell my Lord, "I'll do this as long as you want me to".

I know there is AllDataDIY, but are there any free websites? With diagrams of where things are, or diagnosing and repair guides?

Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for mechanics and DIY enthusiast owners of cars, trucks, and motorcycles. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I think your best bet is going to be "enthusiast" groups for your specific car type. These individual sites can often offer repair and diagnostics information, to varying levels of completeness, but I have never run across a make/model agnostic site that provides similar information. Maybe this site in a few years? :-)
Autozone has vehicle repair guides and job diagrams, but only for some models/parts.

d'eon - LP
**Upfront Exclusive** Hippos In Tank's most enigmatic operator scales transcendent, heady heights with his ecstatic debut album. Simply marked 'LP', it builds upon the foundations of that stunning debut EP ('Palinsopia') and Grimes split with ever-tighter drum programming referencing Footwork, R&B, and Jungle, and a profound feel for exalted harmonic arrangement. There's few others who could imagine a fusion of Squarepusher, Indian ragas, Peter Gabriel and Araabmuzik and come off sounding sane, or at least coherent, but in d'Eon's mind these possibilities are a reality, and on record it just sounds amazing. A big pop burner - highly recommended to those of you into the whole Autre Ne Veut, Hippos In Tanks, John Parr axis.
