About the Savages (Created July 5, 2013)
One would think a post-punk four-piece band from London called the Savages certainly wouldn't be comprised of four women. But that's exactly what this all-female contingent wants to be known as, and the moniker is perfect for their intense sound and blusterous guitars.
Savages formed at the end of 2011 after guitarist Gemma Thompson and singer Camille Berthomier (known as Jehny Beth) settled on a name for their new band. Asye Hassan (bass) and Fay Milton (drums) rounded out the quartet, and the girls performed their first show in January 2012, supporting rockers British Sea Power. Soon after, they picked up by Sigur Ros manager John Best.
The first released tracks from Savages came in the form of a double A-side in June 2012. They were "Flying to Berlin" and "Husbands," and the music was universally hailed by the critics. By the fall, they were playing the CMJ Music Marathon to rave reviews, and by December had been nominated for the BBC Sound of 2013 poll.
Savages' first album, "Silence Yourself," bowed on May 6, 2013 via Beth's label Pop Noire and Matador Records. Again, the project received widespread critical acclaim upon its release. It scored an average of 81 at Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 reviews from the mainstream media. The momentum of a successful release took the band to the Coachella Music and Arts Festival, and they continue to tour through 2013, with sold out dates booked in places like Webster Hall (New York) and the Rock and Roll Hotel in Washington D.C.

Calvert Hospice recently announced that all six of the hospice and palliative care staff members who applied now have additional certifications in hospice and palliative care to enhance their respective roles at Calvert Hospice.
These qualifications include administrative, nursing and social worker certifications, according to a press release.
Calvert Hospice Executive Director Brenda Laughhunn said in the release, "We are excited to have this many employees who are interested in furthering their education with regard to end-of-life issues. This is value-added for our patients to have so many of our staff certified in both hospice and palliative care services. Development of expertise in this area has become formalized through recognition of palliative care by the specialty certification boards. It is quite an accomplishment."
Palliative care is a comprehensive approach to treatment that focuses on the emotional, psychological, existential and physical suffering that often accompanies serious illness, the release states. This model of care strives to improve quality of life not only by relieving pain and other physical symptoms, but also by addressing these diverse needs. Specialists in palliative medicine have a unique set of skills, which allow them to effectively care for patients with life-limiting illnesses. Specifically, these practitioners are proficient in evaluating and reporting prognosis, discussing goals of care, reviewing treatment options and assessing and managing emotional, psychological, spiritual and physical needs.
Palliative care treats people suffering from serious and chronic illnesses, such as cancer, congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), kidney failure, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and many more, according to the release. It helps patients gain the strength to carry on with daily life. It improves their ability to tolerate medical treatments. And it helps them have more control over their care by improving communication so that they can better understand their choices for treatment.
Working together with a primary doctor, the palliative care team provides communication, pain and symptom management, support for navigating the health care system, guidance with choosing treatment choices and emotional and spiritual support for the patient and their family members, the release states. For more information, contact Brenda Laughhunn at 410-535-0892, ext. 4000.

Vonn and Hoefl-Riesch podium in Cortina d'Ampezzo
Lindsey Vonn came as close as she could to getting win number 6 in the Italian resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo but a few small mistakes and gusts of wind across the course half way down meant that she had to give way to Italian Daniela Merighetti. Maria Hoefl-Riesch, coming down at the end of the top seeds put in a much improved performance after her recent bout of flu and despite being ahead of the Italian finished in third at the finish line.
Cortina is as close as it gets to perfection – even the wind blowing across the top part of the course could not ruin the spectacle of racing down the Torfane Course. This has very fast sections combined with long sweeping turns and a big jump into the finish. Racers that win here tend to get lots of wins in Cortina. Lindsey Vonn has won here five times and has six other podium spots.
Vonn had some bad luck at the top of the course as she was hit by a gust of wind that slowed her down and gave her a hard task if she was to top the podium again. While she did close in on the leader, the gap was too much. "I was caught by a huge gust before the final jump. The wind was brutal, it was difficult to drive. But I fought hard and am satisfied with second place. It is not always the case that the sun shines and there is no wind," rued Vonn after her run.
For Maria Hoefl-Riesch, this podium represented more than just a result: "This third place is very important because it is my first podium in a speed discipline this season," explained the German HEAD racer.
Lizzi Goergl made it into eighth place and although she was happy with her run, she was another to suffer from the wind. "I was pleased with my run," she explained, "I made hardly any mistakes but I did feel the winds in the middle section."
This result now sees Lindsey Vonn move further ahead in the Overall race: 244 points ahead in the Overall of Marlies Schild and 127 ahead of Lizzi Goergl in the Downhill points race.
1. Daniela Merighetti (ITA)
2. Lindsey Vonn (USA) HEAD
3. Maria Hoefl-Riesch (GER) HEAD
8. Lizzi Goergl (AUT) HEAD
10. Anja Paerson (SWE) HEAD

Buccaneer Baseball falls to Davidson, 9-5
Saturday, March 06, 2004DAVIDSON, N.C. (Mar. 6, 2004) - ETSU's three-game winning streak was snapped Saturday afternoon as the Bucs fell to Davidson, 9-5, from Wildcat Park in Davidson, N.C. The game was a back-and-forth affair as the two teams traded the lead on several occasions. East Tennessee State (8-7, 1-1 SoCon) went ahead with a run on two hits in the top of the second. With one down, junior catcher Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) lined a single up the middle then advanced to third on a single to left center by freshman designated hitter Stephen Douglas (Kennesaw, Ga.). Sophomore third baseman Greg Roberts (Douglas, Ga.) drove Moore in from third with a ground ball to third. Davidson (4-4, 1-1 SoCon) third baseman Jay Heafner tied the game in the bottom of the frame, hitting a home run over the left field wall. The blast was Heafner's second of the series, having also hit a homer to left Friday night. The Bucs regained the lead in the top of the third, rallying to score a run with two outs. Senior shortstop Andy Howdeshell (Maryville, Tenn.) drew a walk with two down and moved to second on a single to right by sophomore first baseman Blake Church (Roswell, Ga.). Church then crossed the plate as Wildcat starter Andy Carter threw two consecutive wild pitches. The Wildcats responded immediately, tying the game at two with a run in the bottom of the third. Shortstop Eli Benefield doubled off the left field wall and scored on a subsequent single by right fielder Sam Navarro. Davidson took their first lead of the series, going up 3-2 with a run in the bottom of the fourth. Catcher Alex Entrekin and Heafner led off the inning with back to back singles. Both baserunners moved up on a double steal, followed by a sacrifice fly by first baseman Alden Crissey. ETSU regained the lead in the top of the fifth, scoring three runs to go up 5-3. With one out, Byrne hit his second home run of the season, a blast deep over the right-center field wall. Howdeshell followed with a double to right-center then scored on a two-out single to right by sophomore second baseman Josiah Glafenhein (Knoxville, Tenn.). Glafenhein, who advanced to second on the throw and to third and on an error, crossed the plate on a wild pitch. The resilient Wildcats fought back once again in the bottom of the fifth, tying the game at five. Navarro walked with one out and was on base as center fielder Michael Muniz belted a two-run homer over the right field wall. Davidson broke the game open with a two-out four-run rally in the bottom of the seventh. Muniz hit an infield single followed by another single by Entrekin. Heafner then came to the plate and reached on a fielder's choice while Muniz scored on an error. Crissey followed with an infield single with Entrekin scoring on a throwing error. Designated hitter Gregory Zage cleared the bases with a double down the right field line, scoring Crissey and Heafner. Rob Wilson (2-0) earned the win for Davidson after allowing no runs on just one hit in 4.1 relief innings. He also struck out two while walking none. Freshman righty Caleb Glafenhein (Knoxville, Tenn.) was charged with the loss (1-1), allowing four earned runs on five hits in two innings pitched. Moore led the Bucs at the plate, going 3-for-4 while Josiah Glafenhein had two base hits. Davidson was paced by Muniz, who went 4-for-5 with two RBIs and two runs scored. Zage also drove in two runs while Entrekin and Heafner each scored two. The Bucs and Wildcats will play the final game of their three-game weekend set Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. from Wildcat Park in Davidson, N.C.

WARNING: Contains alcohol, so please only make this if you are of legal age in your area.
Step 1: Prepare materials and get them soakin'!
You will need:
- 1 1/2 cups of vodka (can use more or less if desired)
- 1 tub of gummi bear candies, plastic with lid (about 1kg. Tub found at Wal-mart)
- 1 can of frozen juice concentrate, any flavour desired (I used fruit punch.)
You can keep the juice frozen for now, as you will not need it for a few days.
- First step is to open the lid of your gummi bears and pour in the vodka. The amount and brand is at your discretion, though I have found 1.5 cups of Smirnoff vodka to be the best. I have tried this with raspberry vodka as well, with pleasurable results. Basically, pour the vodka into the packed bears until the alcohol barely peeks over the top.
- Give your newly introduced gummi-bears and vodka a stir, and replace the lid. Place the whole tub into the fridge.
- Let this sit for five days, stirring a couple of times each day.
How long do they last, I am thinking of doing some for Christmas as gifts but I wasn't sure if the fruit juice in them makes them go off or if the vodka preserves them?
Weird question: Can I take this with me while traveling if left in my checked luggage?
lololol wtf is this?
can someone tell me in lts the amount of vodka needed bottles here are 750 ml the smallest i live in mexico
1.5C is about 355ml
If you put two solutions of water in contact with each other, water will tend to move from the solution with fewer molecules dissolved in it to the solution with more molecules in it. This is known as 'osmosis'. The force that pushes the water is called 'osmotic pressure'. With the gummi bear, if you put the gummi bear in a solution with very few molecules dissolved in it (like distilled water), the water will move into the gummi bear causing it to expand. If you put the gummi bear into a solution of water with many molecules of solute dissolved in it (more solute molecules than are in the gummi bear), then water will leave the gummi bear and move into the water. When water moves into the gummi bear, you can see the bear expand. However, since the gummi bear doesn't shrink much when water leaves it, it appears the gummi bear stays the same.
So the last question to answer is if salt water has more solute molecules in it than the gummi bear (you know by your experiment that it does, but we can prove it with some math too). You can dissolve roughly 400g of salt (NaCl) in 1kg water at room temperature. That's roughly 2/3 of a mole of salt molecules, (google "mole unit" to learn more about what a mole is in chemistry). Because a single molecule of gelatin weighs 10,000 times more than one of table salt, if you had the same mass of gummi bears as the salt solution (1 kg + 0.4 kg), or 1.4kg total, you would have only 1/25th of a mole. So the salt solution has around 10-20 times the number of molecules as the gummi bear. Because there are more solute molecules in the salt water, the water moves out of the gummi bear, and hence the gummi bear does not expand.
Hope this helps,
so the conclusion is to buy gummy satured gummy bears
Like regular juice or something. I don't think I have ever seen the concertrated stuff in stores here
Seriously, we do not even have a frozen juice section
and two years later....I second that mjansie. In Norway we dont have this can juice stuff either...I checked frozen section..yeah, nothing but frozen reindeer meat and veg, no frozen juice is existing here lol.
I want drunken gummy bears too!
If it helps you can use any type of pre made Juice such as Apple.
Hope that helps! :)
The only 'survivors' are the green ones. Not tossing them yet; surely I can find a way to re-form the glob into bite size morsels....
Cool, I am going to make Rummy-Bears. Mai Tai or Pina Colada
Pacific or Caribbean, Decisions,decisions,decisions.
We are going to try it this time with moonshine. Another sleep over (this time planned) then breakfast in the morning with the families.
(after 4 days)
Just to prove it, I tried about a 1/4 cup of vodka with about 20 gummies. Within 24 hours, I had a purple sticky ooze. Photo attached!
THIS iS A JOKE, PEOPLE! Don't believe everything you read.
Too funny!

Hi eddiejr79
What class do you intend to run as the specs for the alcohol class and Top Fuel class as well as the fast bracket classes have different standards that must be met. I agree that you should have top notch TIG welding skills before you attempt to weld this but those skills are obtainable through practice. The jig is a very important part of this project. My brother and I made our jig for this very purpose. We spent around 80-100 hours to make our jig perfect. I have also spent many hours refining it for our use. The jig is something you can fabricate while you are working on your TIG skills as it can be MIG welded.
Don't give up if this is your dream.
As for buying an already running car be careful. Most alcohol and fuel cars out there are pretty well used up. They only last so many runs and are worn out. One other thing you can look for is a car that the front half is damaged and bent. You can do what we call "Front half" the chassis from the rear motorplate forward as the rear section is much stronger and harder to bend. You still have to make sure that it has not been "tweaked" and meets the latest SFI specifications for the class you intend to run. Good Luck, Rascal

Thank you Rascal
Thank you, My intentions were to run it as a bracket car for starters. I see your idea about the front half, I have come across alot of those and thought about it but figured it may not be worth it. Then I thought of the worn out however the flexing takes place fromt he motor plate forward doesnt it? I did come across one for cheap that needed the front half. I should have grabbed it but I was afraid to. I dont have a big budget so I have to make wise decisions. Thanks again.
Chassis Welding & Jig Fab
I taught myself how to weld so I could go racing. After building dozens of cars, and being involved in several high-speed crashes I have never broken a weld. The trick is to practice a bunch before you get started, do some destructive testing on your samples, make every connection a perfect fit, and be sure to have enough heat to get ample penetration.
As for the JIG, I have built a few, a 1" steel plate is the best but costs like crazy. I built a few others that were 8" I beam directly under the main frame of the chassis. Just make sure the top of both beams are in the same plane. Us a laser level before and after welding.

Mercedes director Toto Wolff is confident his squad will have the best line-up next year despite Ferrari's acquisition of Kimi Raikkonen...
Mercedes director Toto Wolff is confident his squad will have the best line-up next year despite Ferrari's acquisition of Kimi Raikkonen.
Lewis Hamilton's decision to swap McLaren for Merc and team up with Nico Rosberg at the start of this year gave the Brackley team arguably the strongest pairing on the grid.
However, that will be eclipsed next year as Ferrari will have two World Champions in Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso.
Wolff, though, believes the fact that Hamilton and Rosberg have been friends for so long will work in their favour.
"I think we still have the strongest driver line-up. Because our drivers have known each other for so long they deal fairly with each other despite their many differences - and everything that comes along with being team-mates," he told Germany's Sport Bild.
He added: "I don't think Ferrari's situation will be as harmonious as ours because their drivers don't have a history together."
Since returning to Formula One as a constructor in 2010, the team have finished fourth twice while they came fifth last year. They are third in the standings with seven races still to go this season, but Wolff is eyeing the big prize within the next few years.
Asked where he sees himself in three years, he replied: "Then I will have justified the praise and be a serious candidate for the World Championship with Mercedes. No, actually I want to have the title already in the bag within three years."

About Mercy College.
Pupils are the heart & soul of Mercy College Belfast. Every year we welcome many new pupils from the surrounding area whilst at the same time say goodbye to our senior girls as they head off to their new careers or further education.
At Mercy College, we believe it is our duty to uncover and nurture every pupil's unique skills and areas of interest.
A direct consequence of this is the caring and supportive environment that is apparent in every aspect of school life at Mercy College.
Pupils at Mercy receive the best teaching and advice as they progress with their studies; we like to encourage a school life that is rich with education, but also has room for fun and enjoyment along the way.
The school has many extra curricular activities for pupils to explore and discover the areas of interest best suited to their own individual skills.
Why Mercy College?
Mercy College, under the trusteeship and management of the Sisters of Mercy, provides for girls from the ages of eleven to nineteen. Faithful to the Mercy tradition, the school aims to develop each child to her full potential and in every aspect of her being, with emphasis placed on leading by example.
It is based on the acceptance of the uniqueness and dignity of each pupil. The long tradition of providing a relevant and effective education for young girls, which Mother McAuley started in 1840, is promoted by a caring and dedicated staff who ensure each pupil receives the very best education which we can offer. Staff and pupils work together in a happy environment to contribute to the enrichment of each person.
Great care is taken to effect a smooth transition from primary to secondary school and an excellent pastoral care programme supports the child throughout her school career.

Recipe by TABASCO® Brand Pepper Sauces
"TABASCO® Pepper Sauce, chopped peppers and onions, and Worcestershire sauce pile on the flavor in these burgers made with ground chicken or turkey."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 pound
freshly ground chicken or turkey
1 small
onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup
chopped bell pepper
1 clove
garlic, minced
1 teaspoon
Original TABASCO® brand Pepper Sauce
green onions, minced
1 teaspoon
Worcestershire sauce
Ground black pepper to taste
I used Frank's instead of Tabasco and left out the green onions. I topped with Muenster cheese. It was a hit at my house.
I only gave this 3 stars because it just tasted ok to us. I was expecting much more of a "wow" factor. But they pretty much tasted like my regular turkey burgers I make with out all of the mess of preparation. They also fell apart very easily. My turkey burger which taste very similar are so much easier. I just make up the patties and put them in the pan, throw in a few onion slices on top (easier to pick out for my kids who don't want onions), and top with a very small amount of Kikkoman's reduced sodium teriyaki marinade & sauce. And...they don't fall apart so easily. Probably won't make again since the flavor is not much different than mine, and mine are easier.

Oh my, this was fabulous! And it's good for you, which is a huge bonus! I eyeballed the ingredients, adding a bit more worcestershire and hot sauce, and I had to use sandwich bread, as I didn't have any buns on hand. I will DEFINITELY be making this again and again, thanks so much!
I thought these burgers were GREAT. I put a little twist on them however. Instead of bell pepper I diced one jalapeno, and I only used approx. 3/4 medium onion in total. Lastly, I seasoned with pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
I broiled them as I do not have a grill and found that 6 mins on each side was best. I topped with American Cheese and 1/4 avocado on each burger!
Will totally make again and very soon!
Made the turkey versions & they was very good. Added some fresh jalapeños since we rarely have tobasco sauce. Baked fries on the side & dinner is served. Avocado too.
These were pretty good, but not exactly what I expected. I should have chopped up the onion and pepper much more finely than I did and I would add much more spice next time! I will definitely try this recipe again with these tweaks!
My husband liked these, but I thought they were rather flavor-less. We both agreed that calling these burgers "cajun" is a sin, as the flavor is far from cajun. I have left-overs. I'm going to try putting hot pepper cheese on them to provide more flavor.
Awesome!!! We doubled the tabasco and worcestershire sauce to give it a little more "tang". Served these on buns with a slice of tomato and onion and lettuce. They were so good, we didn't even need mayo, mustard, or ketchup!

I came across an article in the New York Times Sports section about Kathy Martin several weeks ago and have read it through a couple of times now. She is such an inspiration! Kathy is 60 years old, and is setting national and world records at multiple distances on the track. Even better, she did not go for her first run until she was 30 years old. And much like my own experience, her first run was NOT easy, and it took time, effort, and consistent work to make progress. I love this quote from the story about her first run with her husband.
"Ten minutes into the trot, she lay down exhausted in the middle of Clark Drive in East Northport. "Get up or a car is going to hit you," her husband said. And when she caught her breath, she answered, "I hope it does.""
and later in the article - "She wondered: If I cannot run a mile at 30, will I even be able to walk one at 60?"
If you would like to read the full article in the NY Times about her amazing story, you can find it here. It's a really good read!
And for some more inspiration, you need to take five minutes and watch this beautiful video.
Roger (who didn't start running until he was 47 and was very overweight) ran in the 2009 Boston Marathon, and has run 12 marathons since, continuing to run for his niece Julia (who is still alive) and raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Amazing! If you didn't, watch the video!
Both of this stories are such beautiful examples of how it is NEVER TOO LATE to change your life. It is never too late to get healthy. It is never too late to chase after your dreams. It is never too late to try something new. It is never too late to find a new talent. It is never too late to find new greatness in yourself.
Two quotes that go perfectly with these stories -
"It's never too late to be who you might have been." - George Eliot
"Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." - Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh :)

English named assistant women's basketball coach
Tuesday, June 10, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (June 10, 2003) - Former East Tennessee State men's basketball standout and Harlem Globetrotter Rodney English has accepted the position as the Buccaneer's assistant women's basketball coach. "I'm extremely happy to have Rodney on our staff," said head coach Karen Kemp. "He brings a lot of enthusiasm and will be a great ambassador for our program. Rodney is someone who knows the university and has spent a lot of time in the area." A native of Denmark, S.C., English enjoyed an outstanding two-year career on the basketball courts of ETSU after transferring from Anderson Junior College, where he was an All-American in 1989-90 and NJCAA Region X Player of the Year as a sophomore. As a Buc, English was twice named to the All-Southern Conference team and All-SoCon tournament team, while leading ETSU to back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances in 1991 and 1992. English garnered ETSU Most Valuable Player honors during the 1991-92 season in which he led the team in scoring (17.5 ppg) and rebounding (7.5 rpg). He ended his collegiate career eighth all-time in points per game (15.6) and fourth in field goal percentage (.570). Following a successful stint at ETSU, English spent one season playing with the Tampa Bay Sun Blasters of the United States Basketball League before embarking on a career with the Globetrotters from 1994-96. He was named the MVP of the team's "Ultimate Challenge" tour in 1995 after averaging 14.7 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. In 1997-98 English played professionally for the Salin Basketball Club of the French Federation Basketball League and then spent a year with the Tianjin Basketball Club of the Chinese Basketball League from 1998-99. English returned to Johnson City in 1999 to become an eighth grade history teacher at University School and was also the boys junior varsity coach and assistant varsity coach until 2001. English then went on teach ninth grade remedial reading at McIntosh County Academy in Darien, Ga., where he was Region 3A Coach of the Year for the 2002-03 season. "I feel that I am ready for such an opportunity, and I felt like I had to take it now," English said about returning to his alma mater. "I think East Tennessee State has given me many opportunities both as a student and as an athlete that have helped me mature for life in general - it's truly a pleasure to be back." English graduated from ETSU with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 1992 and a Master of Arts in Teaching in 1999. His wife Kimberly was a 1993 graduate of ETSU. The couple resides in Johnson City with their one-year-old daughter Hillary.

Australia's Mark Webber says consistency will be the key to him adding to his Formula One victory tally in the final trio of races this season.
The Red Bull driver won at Monaco and Silverstone earlier this year and told the Australian Grand Prix's 'Keeping Track' podcast, in an exclusive interview, that he has some clear goals for the remainder of the season. This is in spite of the fact that the world championship is shaping up as a straight fight between Webber's teammate Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.
Webber, who started the 2012 season with four fourth-place finishes in the opening quartet of races, is in fourth place in the world championship with 167 points after back-to-back podiums in Korea and India.
"We're looking to finish the season very strongly, and I'm looking to get some more victories before the year is out, coupled with some consistency like we started the year," Webber said.
"With all those fourth-place finishes … at the time (they) were very frustrating, but they were important to me. I'm not looking to do those kinds of results from here, but some consistency and to get the odd victory would be very nice."
Webber says the hectic conclusion to the Formula One season has presented teams and drivers with a significant challenge as the 20-race championship pushes towards its finale in Brazil next month.
The 2012 season finishes with three sets of back-to-back race weekends away from the sport's traditional heartland in Europe in just eight weeks, a logistical challenge the Red Bull driver has never faced before.
"It's been on the schedule for a long period, so from the team and driver perspective we've done what we can to turn up at each race fresh and healthy and get the travel as efficient as possible," Webber said.
"There's lots of different challenges with places we go like staying healthy (and) it's not always straightforward, but that's what part of being a professional is about – we need to prepare ourselves as best we can."
Press play to listen to the rest of the interview.

Weekend I-465 Restrictions
On Indianapolis' West Side
INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) contractors plan lane restrictions on I-465 on the city's west side this weekend in preparation for opening additional lanes next week.
Crews from Walsh Construction, the state's contractor, will place permanent pavement markings on I-465 in both directions between 10th and 38th Streets. The operation will require alternating lane restrictions and shifting traffic patterns in both directions through the weekend.
On Friday, November 2, two lanes will be open from 9 p.m. until midnight.
On Saturday, November 3, one lane will be open from midnight until 6 a.m. and two lanes will be open from 6 a.m. until midnight.
On Sunday, November 4, one lane will be open from midnight until 8 a.m. and two lanes will be open from 8 a.m. until work is complete.
Barring inclement weather, all permanent pavement markings are expected to be in place by Monday morning. I-465 will remain three through lanes in each direction—for the safety of motorists and workers—until permanent concrete wall is finished and temporary barrier wall is removed, which is expected to be complete by the end of next week.
Once new lanes are open, the segment of I-465 will have four lanes in each direction and additional auxiliary and ramp lanes for traffic entering and exiting the interstate.

To Catch A Marten: Seeking Clues In Olympic National Forest
Originally published on Tue January 22, 2013 9:01 am
It's about 25 degrees on a clear Saturday morning when Gregg Treinish — executive director of Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation, a nonprofit that puts volunteers to work gathering data for scientists around the world — gathers a small group of outdoor adventurers around him near the Duckabush River in the Olympic National Forest in Washington state.
The mission for this group: help biologists figure out whether there are any martens left in the Olympic National Forest. Volunteers will set up motion-activated cameras in some of the forest's snowiest, most remote territory.
The citizen scientists fill their packs with a strange assortment of gear, including chicken wire, hammers, folding saws and — wait for it — human-head-sized chunks of beaver carcass.
"I don't mind carrying dead things, but maybe I'll move my lunch," says Sonia Wolfman, a lawyer from Olympia, Wash., as she stuffs a black garbage bag full of beaver guts into her pack.
The beaver, which was provided by the Forest Service, will be used as bait to lure the martens in front of the remote cameras the volunteers plan to set up throughout the forest.
But in the Olympics anyway, catching a marten, a member of the weasel family, on camera is a rare occurrence.
"For the past 25 years, we've had three verifiable sightings," says Betsy Howell, a biologist with the Forest Service who helped organize this project. "Two were photographs and one was an animal caught in a trap."
Although martens are doing OK in parts of the mountain West, their numbers appear to have plummeted in recent decades in the coastal ranges of Oregon and Washington.
Until scientists know that for sure, these animals can't be recommended for protection under the Endangered Species Act. That's where these volunteers come in.
Treinish leads the group into the woods at a brisk pace. He's a tightly muscled guy with mountain-man hair and an easy smile. When he hikes, his eyes remain glued to the forest floor, scanning the snow. He picks out the tracks of mountain lion, elk, coyote, bobcat and a host of rodents along the trail, and points them out to the group. But no sign of martens.
After more than four miles of hiking up steep switchbacks and past sparkling icy rock faces, we get to a spot that looks like a place martens might hang out. To the untrained eye, it looks like every other snowy section of forest we've hiked through, but not to Treinish.
"It's a nice flat area here," he explains, pointing at a dip in the landscape where a young cedar and fir tree stand about 13 feet apart. "I kind of like how it funnels everything into there, so we'll go with that spot."
The group unloads its gear and starts setting up the station.
Jenna Walenga, a barista from Seattle, snaps on a pair of rubber gloves and prepares to reach into the bloody garbage bag. A few years ago, she hiked Mount Kilimanjaro. Today her job is to attach a hunk of dead beaver to one of these trees.
"I'm actually a vegetarian," she says, as she holds the carcass against the tree so another volunteer can nail it down beneath a layer of chicken wire.
On the opposite tree, the team sets up the motion-activated camera and aims it at the beaver carcass.
The chances of getting footage of martens in the Olympic National Forest are slim. Much of the old-growth forests the martens rely on in the coastal range has been cut down, and biologists worry that climate change will shrink the remaining cold alpine habitat.
No one knows how many martens might still live in the national forest, but Howell says they'd probably never be able to find out without the help of volunteers like these.
"We can do so much more together than we can do separately," Howell says. "The partnership is a great way to get work done that otherwise we just don't have funding or staff for anymore."
The volunteers will set up 11 other stations like this one throughout the forest. Then they'll come back in smaller groups to check the cameras every month or so to see whether any martens showed up to have their pictures taken.
It's still legal to trap martens in Washington and Oregon. But here in Olympic National Forest, there may not be any left to catch — on camera, or otherwise.
You are listening to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News.
Scientists are concerned about dropping populations of martens, a member of the weasel family, in coastal mountain ranges like Washington's Olympic National Forest. But martens can be tricky to study. These elusive animals live in the most remote parts of the forest, and they're not threatened throughout most of their range, which means they're a low priority for research funding. So as Ashley Ahearn of member station KUOW reports, some biologists are recruiting volunteers to help them learn about martens.
ASHLEY AHEARN, BYLINE: When most people go hiking, they probably don't bring...
GREGG TREINISH: Clippers.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Clippers, yes.
TREINISH: All right. Do we have a folding saw?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Yes.
AHEARN: It's about 25 degrees on a clear Saturday morning when Gregg Treinish gathers a small group of volunteers around him.
TREINISH: Do we have a hammer?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Yes.
AHEARN: Treinish is the executive director of Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation. It's a nonprofit that puts avid outdoors people to work gathering data for scientists around the world.
TREINISH: Do we have a roll of chicken wire?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Yes.
AHEARN: The mission for this group, help biologists in the Olympic National Forest figure out if there are any martens left in this coastal mountain range and see if there's a threat of extinction. Betsy Howell stands nearby. She's a biologist with the Forest Service who brought Treinish's group here to help with the research.
BETSY HOWELL: We can do so much more together than we can do separately. I mean, the partnership is a great way to get work done that otherwise, you know, we just really don't have funding or staff for anymore.
AHEARN: The group will be setting up motion-sensing cameras in some of the most inaccessible parts of the forest at this time of year.
They're extremely cute little animals, if I may be so unscientific.
Martens are smaller than your typical house cat with a long, weasely body, short legs and a bushy tail. They're usually a tawny brown with an orange throat patch. Martens make their home in old growth forest. Howell explains that in the coastal region, much of that habitat has disappeared. The chances of catching one on camera here are incredibly slim.
HOWELL: For about the last 25 years, we've had three sightings. Two were photographs, and one was an animal caught in a trap.
AHEARN: Martens may be rare here, but until scientists know that for sure, these animals can't be recommended for protection under the Endangered Species Act. That's where these volunteers come in.
AHEARN: All right. Everyone finishes packing up, and Gregg Treinish leads the group into the woods at a brisk pace. He and Betsy Howell point out the tracks of mountain lion, elk, coyote, bobcat and a host of rodents along the snowy trail. No martens.
TREINISH: Notice the track off to your left here, see if you can figure out what's using this little run here.
AHEARN: The volunteers hike for several hours before they get to what looks like a good place to put a marten camera. To the untrained eye, it looks like every other snowy section of alpine forest, but not to Gregg Treinish.
TREINISH: To the right of Betsy right now is a cedar tree, and then to the left of Betsy is a fir tree. I kind of like that how it funnels everything right into there, so we'll go with that spot. Sound good?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: All right.
AHEARN: All right.
TREINISH: Cool.
AHEARN: The group unloads its gear and starts setting up the station. Jenna Walenga is a barista from Seattle. A few years ago, she hiked Kilimanjaro. Right now, her job is to pull a bloody piece of beaver carcass about the size of a soccer ball out of its plastic garbage bag and attach it to one of the trees.
JENNA WALENGA: Oh.
WALENGA: Yeah, this is a nice piece of meat.
TREINISH: And really, what we're doing is we're luring them into this area so that they'll go and try to get our bait, which is really what we're hoping for so that we can get a photograph of them.
AHEARN: On the opposite tree, the team sets up the motion-sensing camera and aims it at the beaver carcass. The volunteers will set up 11 other stations like this one throughout the forest. Then they'll come back in smaller groups to check the cameras every month or so to see if any martens show up to have their picture taken. And if they do, there might be a chance that they could be better protected in the future. For NPR News, I'm Ashley Ahearn in Seattle.

Sunday, February 08, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 8, 2004) - The East Tennessee State women's tennis team defeated Liberty University Flames 4-3 early Sunday afternoon. Liberty started the match notching the doubles point by winning all three matches against ETSU. In singles action, Courtney McInnis (Waterboro, Maine), Sylwia Ziolkowska (Warsaw, Poland), Gemma Halim (Jakarta, Indonesia), and Mariya Ilyina (Kyiv, Ukraine) won their singles matches for the Bucs' four points.

Top 5 Movies To See This Summer
Top 5 Movies to See This Summer
The release of Iron Man 3 this week isn't just the latest installment in Robert Downey Jr.'s mega-franchise, it's the unofficial kickoff to the summer movie season. Warmer weather may still seem far off, but before you know it you'll be hiding from the heat in an air-conditioned movie theater, snuggled up to a Pepsi and some popcorn.We thought we'd help you start planning your summer trips to the theater now with a look at five must-see films headed our way. Plan accordingly!
1. The Great Gatsby
Release date: May 10Here's what The Great Gatsby has stacked up so far: a script based on one of the great American novels, a soundtrack put together by the almighty Jay-Z that's as highly anticipated as the movie, and Leonardo Dicaprio, one of the all-time kings of summer movies, in the leading role. Only time will tell, but with those heavy-hitters in its corner it looks like there's no way The Great Gatsby will fail. Watch the trailer on YouTube to preview some of the buzzed about music.
2. Man of Steel
Release date: June 14Believe it or not, it's now been seven years since that legendary "S" lit up the screens, which in superhero movie terms is an eternity. But with Christopher Nolan helming the reboot of the Superman series, and a new Clark Kent played by Henry Cavill, there's real hope that Man of Steel will bring America's favorite superhero back to life. Check out the latest trailer from Warner Brothers on YouTube.
3. Elysium
Release date: August 9Name a bad Matt Damon movie. Go ahead, we'll give you a minute. Whether he's playing a genius kid from South Boston in Good Will Hunting or a rogue CIA agent on the run in the Bourne series, Damon always seems to deliver. So there's a very good chance that Elysium will emerge as this season's biggest and best sci-fi thriller. After all, what's the summer without a couple outer space shoot outs? Click here to check out the fully-loaded trailer on YouTube.
4. Monsters University
Release date: June 21 There will come a point when you just don't want to watch another alien invasion movie, when you need something lighter and just more purely fun. When that points comes, turn to Monsters University. A prequel to Monsters Inc, by all indications this flick will continue Pixar's streak of making movie for kids that adults will often end up enjoying even more. Check out the trailer for Monsters University on YouTube.
5. Doin' It In the Park (Pick-Up Basketball, NYC)
Release date: Live stream it today!
Big budget blockbusters are fine and good, but there are some great movies being made outside of major studio lots, including Doin' It In The Park. Created by legendary DJ and sneaker aficionado Bobbito Garcia, In The Park is the first documentary to truly explore the history and impact of New York City's renowned summer pick-up basketball scene.The winner of three film festivals and counting, In The Park will open in select cities, including Los Angeles and New York City, and hopefully expand from there, so keep an eye out or check it out from the comfort of your own home. Watch the trailer and stream or download direct from doinitinthepark.com.

Test ID: F_10
Coagulation Factor X Activity Assay, Plasma
Method Description Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
The factor X assay is performed on the Instrumentation Laboratory ACL TOP using the prothrombin time (PT) method and a factor deficient substrate. Patient plasma is combined and incubated with a factor X deficient substrate (normal plasma depleted of factor X by immunoadsorption). After a specified incubation time, a PT reagent is added to trigger the coagulation process in the mixture. At which time, the time to clot formation is measured optically at a wavelength of 671 nm.(Owen CA Jr, Bowie EJW, Thompson JH Jr: Diagnosis of Bleeding Disorders. Second edition. Boston, MA, Little, Brown and Company, 1975)
PDF Report Indicates whether the report includes an additional document with charts, images or other enriched information
Day(s) and Time(s) Test Performed Outlines the days and times the test is performed. This field reflects the day and time the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time required before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means assays are performed several times during the day.

Open Positions
Fusion has opened recruitment for Cataclysm, if you think that you have what it takes to be in Fusion, please do not hesitate to submit an application. Fusion is constantly on the lookout for world class players, and will always consider exceptional applicants, regardless of class. Currently, we are looking for amazing players of all classes and specs.
Many guilds say they don't recruit for the bench. But we actually mean it:
- We run a strictly limited roster of no more than 32-35 people
- We never over-recruit a class so that 2 members will be sitting regularly
- Everyone sees 80-90% raid time regardless of time with the guild
- Our members have flexible specs, making it easy for our roster to shift composition based on attendance and fight mechanics
Fusion is a top end raiding guild that emphasizes efficiency in raiding and minimizing downtime. We've maintained high rank kills since the beginning of TBC and have steadily worked our way up the ladder to be one of the top guilds in the world. We have done this while raiding 20 hours a week, significantly less than most guilds at our level of progression.
Currently we rank #22 US, have completed 12/12 hardmodes in ICC25, including heroic Lich King.
In Ulduar we snagged multiple top-25 world hard-mode kills, and finished at #10 World / #3 US.
We got US top 5 kills of all 25-man Keeper hard modes, including Algalon and Yogg0 while maintaining a consistent 5-day, 22 hour raiding schedule.
Not only do we kill bosses quickly, but we pride ourselves in completing achievements and setting our own challenges. Some of our notable achievements are World 5th Immortal and World 10th Heroic: Glory of the Raider. Our most well known self-challenges are our speed runs which include SSC, BT, and Naxxramas.
Beyond killing things in WoW, we also pride ourselves on our accomplishments in the WoW community. Videos produced by our members collectively surpassed 1 million total views on WarcraftMovies and are currently ranked #30 for all time views. The well known site Main Page - StratFu was created and is maintained by members of Fusion. We are also known for our live streams, especially our PTR live streams which include our Ventrilo so viewers can get a sense of how we strategize and approach fights.
We raid 5 nights a week with Fridays and Saturdays as off nights during progression, with occasional 10 man/alt runs. Raid invites are at 7:15 PM EST, raids begin at 7:30 PM, and end no later than midnight, sometimes earlier. During farm
content, we will usually bring our schedule down to 3-4 nights a week, depending on what is still alive.
The Vision
Fusion is one of the top guilds in the world and we recruit players rather than specific specs or classes. Hybrids are expected to comfortably play two of their specs and be willing to switch if a boss demands it. In addition, we are a guild that offers a rich history of out of game contributions such as theorycraft and video as well as strong progression: we look favorably on applicants who can bring additional theorycrafting, writing, or analysis skills.
We stand firm by our traditional mentality that it is better to raid with 21 people than to accept 4 people who don't live up to our standards be it personality or skill level. Fusion has always been able to define itself as an exception to the rule in terms of upper echelon guilds. We feel that constantly striving to maintain our high standards is what allows us to remain an exception:
1. To be a tight group of people who enjoy being around each other. Guild chat and vent remain open, fun and entertaining. We feel our cohesion is the single most important attribute to our success.
2. To constantly challenge ourselves to be skilled players in the game. We consistently attempt increasingly more challenging content and rely on our tactics rather then the ever popular brute force. Because of this, we expect a lot out of the members in our guild. Our members must be at the highest point of their game in order to accomplish the difficult encounters we go up against.
3. Sacrifice for one another. We expect our members to put the guild before themselves in most cases and to uphold the good name of Fusion in public arenas. We have all worked very hard over the years to establish a reputation of excellence and will continue to do so through our teamwork and friendship.
What We Offer
We're looking for the best and brightest minds in the WoW community; we understand we have to offer something in return. Here's what you get as a member of Fusion:
* You will be amongst peers. Most exceptional individuals lead a lonely existance due to outperforming all those around them. In Fusion you will be a peer amongst some of the smartest people playing WoW. We have theorycrafters, strategists, analysts, media creators, and writers.
* Access to the content. In this day and age of day zero strategies and live streams it is extremely difficult to get exposure to the fresh content that challenges and inspires you. We're right there on day zero fighting the content, figuring out how to beat it, making videos of it, and writing about it.
* Access to an audience. Fusion already has a large audience of fans and others who read and watch the content we produce. If you're a writer or a media creator, there's no better way to get your seen than to create it under the banner of Fusion. We have people who are interested in critiquing you and assisting you with the work you create. We have people who know the WoW community inside and out who can advise you.
* A guild of all-stars. Not everyone in Fusion is in the categories above, but every person on our raid roster is an exceptional player. You won't have to deal with the frustration of being held back by bad players. This allows you to focus on the things you care about most in the game.
Standard Criteria
This is the standard criteria we apply to all applicants. This is just the baseline. To get in you have to meet all these qualities at the very least. We're looking for extremely competent, dedicated players who will give their all.
* Initiative: You've read strategies, obtained consumables, and are ready to go every night for raids. You communicate with the other raid members to coordinate fight specific strategies. You must have the desire to constantly improve your play. You must be able to take constructive criticism so that you can improve your play. We want people who are good, but who are always striving to be better.
* Dedication: You're here pretty much every night. If you have some weird life circumstances that may be interrupting your play time or will in the future then we really aren't looking for you. We run with a small roster and we need people who can keep 90% attendance. IF YOU CAN'T KEEP 90% ATTENDANCE DON'T APPLY. We don't recruit for the bench, all spots are full-time raider spots.
* Reliability: This fits hand and hand with dedication. We need to be able to rely on you to be there on the tough nights when we're trying to beat new content. We need to know you're not going to flake out and disappear for a week, or that you're going to leave an hour early from raids on a regular basis. We expect 90%+ raid attendance.
* Skill: You need to able to adapt to changing situations and go above and beyond the basic assignment asked of you. You need to be able to think for yourself so that you can do your assigned job as well as help others. Twitch and fast reaction times are needed for you to do the job that will be required of you.
* Experience: We're looking for people who've been there for the wipes and learned the boss fights. We are mostly only interested in people who are only slightly behind on the latest content. We give more weight to applicants who have been raiding for 2+ years although we will consider those with less. We are looking for people who have LEARNED boss fights with their guilds and not been carried through on farm status.
* Gear: You need to show that you put time, effort, and thought into your gear. You gear is a reflection of your knowledge of how your class works and your dedication to improving your character. We usually are looking for people geared in as close to the highest level as possible, but we will consider phenomenal apps from people that are somewhat undergeared.
* Personality: Fusion has a strong guild personality and you will need to fit in with us. This means that you can take a joke, have a good sense of humor, and can take constructive criticism from the officers. While we don't have an aggressive, abusive atmosphere, we do consider feedback critical to success. You need to be able to take criticism when you make a mistake and you need to be able to let the criticism roll off without it stressing you out. Our raids are high energy environments.
Additional Criteria
While everyone needs to meet the standard criteria, Fusion's position in the community means we also value characteristics like:
* Theorycrafters: Most players in top end guilds keep up to date on the latest theorycraft. We're looking for the people who write the theorycraft. Are you the kind of person who's digging through logs, patch notes, and data-mined information? Have you written extensively about your topic of interest? Do you have spreadsheets?
* Strategists: Most guilds at the top end have one or two of these. People who are capable of understanding all the mechanics of a boss fight and coming up with strategies to tackle it. Fusion has at least half a dozen and we want more. This requires a high level understanding of the game and how all the classes work, an understanding of how Blizzard builds boss fights and the construction of most boss fights in the history of WoW, and problem solving skills. Ability to clearly communicate is also important.
* Analysts: A large part of Fusion is continued improvement on everyone's part and to do these we need to analyze what people are doing wrong. We need people who can look at parses and compare any given class to leaders in that class and figure out where improvements can be made. Extensive knowledge of class mechanics is required for this as well as the ability to dig down into parses as your main source of data to figure out what people are doing in a fight.
* Media Creators: To us, being a top guild isn't just about showing up to raid. Fusion isn't just a guild; it's a force. We have a long history of producing video and we're looking for more to add to the fold. We're looking for people who have a history of producing media, whether it be audio, video, or graphics.
* Writers: Do you enjoy writing about WoW? Whether your topic is a class, raiding, pvp, or whatever, we're looking to add more writers to our roster. We currently have a number of prolific writers on our roster and we highly value the contribution of people who are able to inspire through their written word.

Interpretive Handbook
8663 :
Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a glycoprotein hormone consisting of 2 noncovalently bound subunits (alpha and beta). The alpha subunit of LH, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) are identical and contain 92 amino acids. The beta subunits of these hormones vary and confer the hormones' specificity. LH has a beta subunit of 121 amino acids and is responsible for interaction with the LH receptor. This beta subunit contains the same amino acids in sequence as the beta subunit of hCG and both stimulate the same receptor, however, the hCG beta subunit contains an additional 24 amino acids, and the hormones differ in the composition of their sugar moieties. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus controls the secretion of the gonadotropins, FSH and LH, from the anterior pituitary.
In both males and females, LH is essential for reproduction. In females, the menstrual cycle is divided by a midcycle surge of both LH and FSH into a follicular phase and a luteal phase. This "LH surge" triggers ovulation thereby not only releasing the egg, but also initiating the conversion of the residual follicle into a corpus luteum that, in turn, produces progesterone to prepare the endometrium for a possible implantation. LH is necessary to maintain luteal function for the first 2 weeks. In case of pregnancy, luteal function will be further maintained by the action of hCG (a hormone very similar to LH) from the newly established pregnancy. LH supports thecal cells in the ovary that provide androgens and hormonal precursors for estradiol production. LH in males acts on testicular interstitial cells of Leydig to cause increased synthesis of testosterone.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
An adjunct in the evaluation of menstrual irregularities
Evaluating patients with suspected hypogonadism
Predicting ovulation
Evaluating infertility
Diagnosing pituitary disorders
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
In both males and females, primary hypogonadism results in an elevation of basal follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels.
Postmenopausal LH levels are generally >40 IU/L. (Note: FSH is the preferred test to confirm menopausal status.)
FSH and LH are generally elevated in:
- Primary gonadal failure
- Complete testicular feminization syndrome
- Precocious puberty (either idiopathic or secondary to a central nervous system lesion)
- Menopause
- Primary ovarian hypodysfunction in females
- Polycystic ovary disease in females
- Primary hypogonadism in males
LH is decreased in:
- Primary ovarian hyperfunction in females
- Primary hypergonadism in males
FSH and LH are both decreased in failure of the pituitary or hypothalamus.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
No clinically significant cross-reactivity has been demonstrated with follicle-stimulating hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, or human chorionic gonadotropin.
Some patients who have been exposed to animal antigens, either in the environment or as part of treatment or imaging procedures, may have circulating antianimal antibodies present. These antibodies may interfere with the assay reagents to produce unreliable results.

Below Zero Part 1: The Plan"Err... Great Britain? Um, you called?" Russia spoke into the now-dark room. Wind was still whistling around him from being magicked into the cavern. The floor beneath his feet had an odd characteristic of pulsing periwinkle blue. He could hear the chattering of teeth, so he knew Arthur was somewhere around. He examined the room, and it slowly came to life as the potions on the desks illuminated the place with rainbows of dim, flickering light.Below Zero Part 1: The Plan5 years ago in Fan Fiction
The room seemed to have the most light coming from a dragon-shaped flask. Filled with something bright red, it seemed to crackle like a hundred Chinese fireworks going off. Hypnotized, Soviet Russia began to walk over, attracted, like a moth to a candle. Only when he was two feet away from the desk with the flask upon it, Russia was distracted by a whimper emanating from under the desk.
