1 (8 ounce) package
cream cheese, softened
1 cup
white sugar
1/8 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups
heavy cream
In defense of Tom, the man who submitted this recipe, there looks to be a few people who gave this recipe a lower rating based on the fact they had problems with the cream. To those users I'd like to say that your cream was not bad but simply, you whipped it for too long. Heavy cream that has been whipped for long periods of time will eventually go past that beautiful "stiff peak" stage into a less appealing state of ..... you guessed it, butter! Hence the butter churn from days gone by. The milky substance that accompanies the butter is known as buttermilk. (thanks grandma) I hope other users have found this information helpful and to those who already knew this..... my apologies!! Otherwise, great recipe Tom!!
Although delicious, this was not what I was looking for in a frosting. It turned out incredibly runny and I ended up having to dip the tops of my cupcakes in order to apply it.

OH SO GOOD...I made this recipe after reading the reviews and decided to use powdered sugar instead of granulated.It was very smooth.I would HIGHLY reccomend that you put bowl,beaters and even the heavy whipping cream into the freezer for 10 min. prior to whipping.It stiffened up nice and quick. I want to mention that I used heavy whipping cream instead of just heavy cream(not sure if it makes a difference)I used it on a Duncan Hines strawberry cake(2 layers) and it's a great contrast against the sweetness of the cake.If you want it a little sweeter add an extra 1/2c. powdered sugar.
This was a great recipe, and I would make it again. Here's what I did different, based on other reviews: chilled bowl, whip, and whipping cream in freezer for 10 minutes before whipping it up; used 1 pint whipping cream, 1 pint HEAVY whipping cream; used approximately 3/4 cup powdered sugar in place of granulated (measured it first, then sifted into cream cheese mixture). SO! It was yummy and I will be making it again! I highly recommend this recipe if you are looking for something nice and light-tasting (but not light calorie wise!)
For the person who had trouble with the softness of the frosting, just add one package/cup of cream of Dr. Oetikers Whip-it stabilizer. This is my standard frosting for decorating cakes and it is great to work with once the stabilizer has been added.
This recipe is a definite winner in the taste category. As someone with lots of cake decorating experience, I would say this is a wonderful filling, but is not suited for frosting (unless you just dollop it on top). This recipe is VERY soft, and does NOT firm up upon refigeration like a buttercream. I made a double batch to decorate a large cake and ditched that plan shortly after I started decorating. I froze this double batch until I thought of a use for it (decided to add it to leftover white rice, added a bit of milk, cinnamon, and a touch more vanilla... it was the most delicious rice pudding imagineable). I might use it as a tart filling sometime, topped with seasonal fruits. Really delicious stuff. PS - I read that it piped well, but I have enough decorating experience to tell that was not going to be the case.
This whipped cream frosting is awesome! But, I had to add another 3 oz. of cream cheese and 2 tbsp. of white sugar and a splash more of vanilla to get it to pipe. I know this goes without saying, but make sure your bowl and beater are well chilled! This is a definite keeper!
This is a wonderfully light and fluffy frosting. It's not too sweet. It's like a whipped cream frosting with a hint of cream cheese or an extremely light and airy version of a cream cheese frosting. It's easy to make. I've received several compliments and requests for this recipe.

Florida State University - Bobby Bowden Field at Doak S. Campbell StadiumThis panorama of Bobby Bowden Field at Doak S. Campbell Stadium, taken by James Blakeway, spotlights the Florida State Seminoles and Miami Hurricanes football rivalry. This game marks the first time since 2004 that the Seminoles and Hurricanes have met as unbeaten, top-10 teams. At the conclusion of this game, the Seminoles remain undefeated, with a final score of 41-14. Florida State football began in 1947, when the school became a co-educational institution. Today, FSU has the most consistently dominating program in college football, including more NFL talent and award winners than most, and continues to set records every year for top finishes and Bowl Game wins.
Bring your wall alive with breathtaking night game action at Doak, from the glorious National Championship season of 2013! A spectacular, rare print you'll likely never see in stores. Printed in brilliant color and perfect focus on high-quality paper stock, and complete with a sharp white border that includes the official team logo and a brief descriptive paragraph, this is both a beauty for the wall of home or office, and a great collector's item for years to come.

5 years ago, never did an ex-loan officer imagine himself in front of a microphone, on one of Phoenix's hottest radio stations. Always with a passion and love for music, Hospe always knew he would land a job in the music world. Deejaying local house parties, clubs, and attending the hottest shows in Southern California, who knew that one day he would be a part of that.
With hard work and sacrifice, he later added on-air jock duties while hosting weekends and Morning Show shifts. With an outgoing personality, comedic relief, and the ability to rock a crowd, there's no surprise and it shows!
Aside from deejaying, giving back to the community is a top priority for him. Every year Hospe and fellow jocks from the station hold toy-drives to help spread the holiday spirit for underprivileged children in town.
Hospe loves to "dig" for vintage vinyl records all around the country. Being an avid record collector, he wants to one day produce and write his own music. You can say he's a music connoisseur in that his collection ranges from Jay-Z to Yvonne Elliman.
Proving himself every day, whether it be on-air, at a club or with the community, Hospe has only given us a small taste of what he has to offer. The deejay with a love for music is truly living his dream everyday...

Can anyone tell me the differences between the Miller Maxstar 200sd and the Miller CST 280?
I know the CST 280 operates on 220 and up. Does the Maxstar 200sd operate on 115?
Any other differences?
Which is the choice to own?

Difference between Maxstar 200sd and CST 280
Here's MILLER'S info 200
CST 280 http://www.millerwelds.com/products/stick/cst-280/
The 200 will run 115 volts and Max AMPS is 200. At 115 volts you have 100 % duty cycle at 90 amps with stick and at 220 volts 100 % is 125 amps with stick.
This also has digital readout and is better for tig
The CST 280 at 220 volts has 100% with stick is 150 amps. Dial adjustments for settings and it will do tig.
As far as choice, what type of work and material will you be using ? Are you gonna be tig welding much or more stick welding. What about a mig ? We need more info on your usage.
To make it easy, get a Miller 211 mig for thin material or the 252 for thick, CST 280 for stick, the ''NEW'' 210 syncro , and throw in a TRAILBLAZER engine drive.
Ok, now go spend some money.

As stated, the CST will not run on 120v. The max star will run on 120v at reduced welding amperage.
The CST 280 is a 280 amp machine on 3 phase power only. On 230 single phase power, the CST 280 maxes out at 200 amps weld output.Lincoln Idealarc 250 stick/tig

It's somebody else's turn to minimize the voice of the student and maximize the sweet, sweet $$$ that our administrators won't use to improve your education or college experience!
This time that guy is Pradeep Khosla, who got hired out of Carnegie Mellon to go Ballsdeep Khosla for UCSD.
You think it's easy working for such a callous sellout like Mark Yudof? Just try getting interviewed by him:
"Meet me on the street in back of the inNout near the 5 and Garnet in PB," his raspy voice whispered, the shouts of vagrants echoing in the background.
Pradeep Khosla didn't understand why they wouldn't meet on the UCSD campus for this interview, nor why Mark Yudof would pick such a sketchy location for them to meet instead.

Every now and then I run into people with names that extend off the screen in Modern Warfare 2. How can I get a name like that? Steam seems to limit the number of characters I can have when I try.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Arqade is a question and answer site for passionate videogamers on all platforms. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I don't think there's any secret to it at all. The font is proportional and so it's important to use wide characters. To produce this screenshot I simply entered as many G in Steam settings as was possible. There are probably wider characters.
Indeed, the letter W extends off-screen without having to mouseover the name.
I believe that to achieve what you want, you would need some 3rd party enabler which would be against the game's ToS, I'm sure. I had a suspicion that the Developer's Console would provide some name change abilities(which it may) but unless some things have changed, it seems even enabling the Developer's Console is even considered a 'hack'.

This report, Volume 1 of a three-volume set commissioned by the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation that examines the immigrant population in Arkansas, provides a demographic and socioeconomic profile of Arkansas immigrants and their children, including a description of immigrant workers in the Arkansas economy. The three volumes build upon a previous study of the Arkansas immigrant population that was published in 2007.
The event discussion, which touched on the intersection of race and immigration, focused on the demographics of Black immigrants (both African and Caribbean) in the United States and their children, their educational success, and the implications of the recently released volume's findings for research and public policy.
This interdisciplinary volume examines the health, well-being, school readiness, and academic achievement of children in Black immigrant families (most with parents from Africa and the Caribbean)—a population that has had little academic attention even as it represents an increasing share of the U.S. Black child population.
Using a nationally representative U.S. birth-cohort study, this report examines levels of school readiness among young children by race/ethnicity and nativity. The authors identify the contextual factors — such as family circumstances, parenting practices, and enrollment in center-based child care — that encourage early school success.
Join MPI as U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Alejandro Mayorkas discusses the application process and policies that the agency has announced to implement the administration's deferred action program.
This fact sheet provides an estimate of the number of DREAMers—unauthorized immigrants potentially eligible for a two-year reprieve from deportation under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals initiative—based on eligibility criteria outlined by the Department of Homeland Security. It also offers a detailed analysis of the demographic characteristics of prospective beneficiaries.
MPI is pleased to host a discussion with experts from both KIND and the Women's Refugee Commission, focusing on the causes of the increase in unaccompanied minor migrants, the situation these minors face once detained or apprehended, and the challenges confronting both nongovernmental organizations trying to provide aid and the U.S. government agencies responsible for processing minors through the system.
African immigrants generally fare well on integration indicators, with college completion rates that greatly exceed those for most other immigrant groups and U.S. natives, this report finds. The United States, Canada, and Australia disproportionally attract better-educated African migrants then do the United Kingdom, France, and other European countries.

|June is Birding Month in Vermont
Goldfinch photo from Wikipedia
One of the things that virtually all our guests enjoy to one degree or another, is seeing the birds around our inn. We have a large window (actually seven pieces of glass) about 20 feet long and seven feet high. We have three bird feeders outside the window which are visited by a lively and colorful array of gold finches, blue jays, house finches, black capped chickadees, nuthatches, and mourning doves. We get the occasional rose breasted grosbeaks, evening grosbeaks, and orioles. Many of our guests have never seen a hummingbird and are fascinated by the flashy, iridescent ruby-throated hummingbirds which we get at the feeders all day long.
If you are a casual bird watcher like most of our guests, or even an advanced birder, Stowe Vermont and the surrounding area would be a good place to visit this month.
The village of Stowe is sponsoring "Wings Over Stowe," a month-long series of demonstrations, exhibits, walks, and films all focusing on the vast array of avian wildlife in the Green Mountains.
The website includes details about each activity, and there is a well done calendar of activities, plus a downloadable brochure with schedule, and a very helpful Stowe birding map.

Mark Webber on Thursday cut through the pleasantries ahead of Sunday's season-opening Grand Prix when he revealed a flash of his deeply competitive nature during the traditional pre-race media conference.
Having delivered one of the quotes of the season last year at Silverstone when he won the British Grand Prix and then told his team 'not bad for a number two driver', he followed it with another waspish aside at his and the Red Bull team's rivals.
"Well, we are just a drinks company, but we hope we can go out and repeat what we did last year," he said, delivering a verbal smash at reported comments by Briton Lewis Hamilton, the 2008 champion, who had appeared to deride Red Bull's heritage compared to those of his McLaren team and mutual rivals Ferrari.
"We are keen to go for both championships again and we want to be there right at the end," added Webber, who endured a mild grilling from the media at the Albert Park circuit, just a day after grilling the snags at a beach barbecue for his inquisitors.
One, intrigued by his culinary skills, inquired about his training and his recipe for the year ahead.
"Well, my dad taught me how to handle a barbecue from a pretty young age," he said. "And I love to do one whenever I can, but in England, of course, we don't get too much weather for that...
"And as to my recipe for this year - well, I'm hoping for a similar season, but with a different ending this time around."
As to Sunday's race, the 34-year-old Australian was optimistic that he could improve on his previous best finish of fifth, but conceded that it would be tough. "It is a good event, there is a lot of unpredictability about it, usually a couple of Safety Cars... so we'll just try to improve and hope for the best.
"There's a lot of questions about the tyres and we don't know what the answers are yet. In terms of strategy and tactics, we still don't know how we are going to 'skin the cat' in a Grand Prix, in a strategic style.
"When we do, I am sure a trend will emerge, but this is the first one. Let's see how it goes... "

U.S. Education Overhaul
I propose a simple, time tested model to 1.) lower the cost of education and 2.) empower students with useful knowledge. Please give any insights you may have.
The following is the process of gaining a marketable education:
student desires - education - learning - marketable skills - employer desires
In the U.S. this process breaks down at each step. Specifically, the main incentive for students to get an education is to have a financially stable future, however most students don't study, learn, or practice what they want to do until they get into the work place. Therefore they're useless until trained by the employer.
So why do we do it? Today's U.S. education system is the product of our industrial age, but market demands have changed. Education is just slow to catch up.
THE SOLUTION: My proposed method is to take students out of high school and inject them directly into the field they want to be in. This will cut out the 4+ year waste of secondary education, save students from debt, and provide them with connections, experience, and skills they will actually be able to use.
Employers have two incentives to do this. 1.) a young student is more malleable and the employer can raise up this student asset however he wants. 2.) it makes economic sense for the employer; Average college tuition is ~$40,000 / year. Times four years, that gives a student roughly $160,000 that he was planning on spending on his undergrad. Plus four years of time. Instead of paying a school to entertain a student, a student could pay a fraction of that money and time to a mentor, while providing benefit to the mentor simultaneously.
Again, the student here gains connections, experience, and skills.
Lejan .
Dec 1 2012: There is one big mistake in your perception of education:
- +1
Education is NOT about beeing MALLEABLE for the needs and deeds of some random employer who comes to decides over a student asset however HE wants! HELL, NO!
Education is about to support and spark the interests, talents and abilities of the individual STUDENT ONLY. To help to create self-determined and independent thinking individuals which are able to decide and act for themselves.
Education is NOT about forging mindless robots for an limited industrialized 'conveyer belt' mindset!
If this is your overhaul for the U.S. education the decline slope of this nation has just become even steeper.

In the USA, it is.
You would be stunned if you saw how much is not taught in our schools and how many lies are part of our standardized educations. Europe has always had a higher standard of education, but it's pretty despicable here now.

Dec 1 2012: I wish I could agree in whole on your view on European education standards, at least for my own country, but in fact I can't.

Since the PISA study Germany found its once proud and noble race horse changed to a ragged and tousled little donkey happily chewing its hay of arrogance and ignorance. Actually, it never was a race horse, as it has been branded by the label of class society as a foal.
Our school system still rests on three columns: Two types of secondary school (lower and upper) and one high school.
As soon as you enter a certain type at very young age after elementary school, your chances drop significantly to evolve freely and to switch towards higher levels.
With this so called 'German precision' we 'forge' exactly what the job market needs.
Worker class - Middle class - Leading class
Our job curriculums are chronologically. We do not show first what we achieved, our emphasis is where we come from. And to stay in the picture, what 'stable smell' we have.
Personally I made my way from 'Worker class' school all the way up to 'Leading class' school and by doing so I almost lost all of my senses, creativity and vitality to finally get to see the intention behind this destructive clockwork.
The official lipservice about this, of course, is sweet so it was a slap in 'official faces' when Germany was placed at the lowest rank possible in terms of social equality within Europe.
When I was working in your county I did not see any differences in basic education throughout all 'social levels'. The only thing I noticed was a general 'blindness' for the world beyond US borders.
There was Mexico in the South and Canada in the North, which got noticed as 'illegal immigrants' and 'funny speaking people'. I am generalizing here, but in Europe we just have to deal with many neighbours, and if we are not killing each other, to me this is enriching.
Europe is is piling up a heritage of dept for its descendents, by which the future of education is set and doomed.Dec 1 2012: "Education is about to support and spark the interests, talents and abilities of the individual"
I agree completely. But here in America this is leading a lot of students into majors that they're good at but have little relevance to the student. I believe firmly in students pursuing what they love and what they're good at. But their education should be worth something to other people too. Why? First off, then the student has earning potential. Money doesn't buy happiness but neither does poverty. Secondly, then the student can give back to his society and help others in ways that they need.
In response to, "Education is NOT about forging mindless robots for an limited industrialized 'conveyer belt' mindset!". Good, I'm glad we agree there too. This IS the mindset that I propose we move away from.
We're on the same page :)
Lejan .
Dec 1 2012: Joshua, you leave me puzzeled... :o)
- 0
First you made me swear my first time on TED ever, and then you are telling me we are on 'the same page'...
Sorry, but I don't get this... :o)
Don't you think that there is an even bigger potential to 'give back to his society and help others' if students persue their way to personal fullfillment? Given all this beautiful variety and individuality do you think that a society would have a lack of professionals in any field? And why do you think that there is no earning potential in doing in what you like to do? Actually BECAUSE of this 'earning potential' we really have a lot of professionals who choose their profesion on 'money issues' only, and most, if not all, of them are just doing a lousy job, because they don't actually love what they are doing!
How many people hate to get up in the morning only because they have to? And without knowing the number, I claim, there are to many of them!
Because of the way we are structured, many of us actally lost this important feedback loop to get the feeling what we are giving 'back to 'this' society! The horizon became the due date of our pay-check, and our life temporarily starts at the weekend.
We came all the way of 3.6 billion years of evolution to finally end up with THAT?
There is more to it and good education is one of the keys to get there...
Maybe you can fill in my gaps where I don't get to see our views to resonate... ;o)
Dec 2 2012: I agree with you. There is more to education than that which provides a job and career. A lot more. My proposal addresses just that part of education which leads to a career, and I should have mentioned that.
We should help students pursue what they enjoy and excel at. But in the U.S. we hardly do. So I would argue instead of mandating the teaching of historical dates, biology, calculus etc. focus on the student's desires and what they'll use. Such as finance, investing, nutrition, current affairs, language, social skills, etc. Things they'll actually use that simultaneously enrich their lives instead of teaching bland material they'll only remember for passing tests. Make sure also that they are taught some skill that others want too so they can support a family and contribute back. I'll bet we can agree on this, no?
Also, you've said, and I agree with:
"Maybe it is because I was indulged in this context, but I am honestly confident that education 'free of charge' has to become a human right.
Besides freedom and the basic needs for a decent living, there is nothing else of this magnitude which can be handed over as joyful to the following generations, as this gift.
One day we may get there."
I would love to see a more accessible, self-sustaining, efficient education system especially if it is not my proposed idea. What would you suggest?Dec 2 2012: Are you arguing that education where you are receiving it is "about forging mindless robots for a limited industrialized conveyer belt mindset?" It sounds to me like what you propose of not exposing students seriously to subjects in which they are not immediately interested and putting them right into focused employment is closer to that model than the more typical liberal arts education.
Dec 2 2012: "It sounds to me like what you propose of not exposing students seriously to subjects in which they are not immediately interested"
Yes, but I would change the word 'exposing', to 'teaching in depth'. Expose students to everything but focus on what will change their lives.
"putting them right into focused employment"
Kind of. I'd say just have a purpose for everything you teach students, and make sure that everything they study is going to be useful to know. I'd argue that being "well rounded" is not useful in and of itself. Instead of being "well rounded" by studying superfluous things, we should teach students budgeting, investing, creativity, social skills, how to raise kids, how to make and keep money, etc. Then they're well rounded and can do something with their knowledge. So have students cycle through internship positions in many fields and make that paramount to their education.
But the main idea I'm proposing is for students within a field of study to have related portions of study be more related. IE I want to be a physician, so why on earth am I required to study biology, organic chemistry, physics and calculus when things like anatomy and pathology aren't even encouraged (or often offered).Dec 2 2012: I suspect you will at some point discover how biology and chemistry are relevant in medicine and why they form a basis for work in anatomy and pathology.Dec 2 2012: Instead of taking them out of high school, I would try and get back to the original concept of vocational education. There are some school districts, such as Nashville, which have implemented "learning academies." They have brought companies into the education process and they allow students to move around the school system to partake in those that cater to their interests. I don't believe we should eliminate secondary education, but we should modernize the old concept of "vocational education," now called "career readiness." I don't believe that college is a "waste," as you say; rather, it is not affordable to many families and steps should be taken to ensure that every family can afford some type of college education should they choose to purse it.Dec 1 2012: I agree with Lejean that the purpose of education goes far beyond preparing students for specific employment and includes exposing students to a range of disciplines that might interest them, conveying skills in critical thinking and interdisciplinary thinking, giving students an opportunity to engage with experts and scholars working in the disciplnes, and so forth. Giving not only future scientists but all students opportunities for science laboratory experiences, as an example, broadens everyone's ability to understand scientific processes and the potential soundness, or lack thereof, of conclusions that are drawn that affect everyones lives. I give science laboratory experience only as an example.
The same is true of the style of thought and work in other fields.
The breadth one can get through education also enhances a person's flexibility to change tracks and integrate understandings over the course of a life or a career.
Education is an area in which many tend to make assumptions that are too narrow.in terms of what education does and can do. The vast majority of people under-estimate both. It is important not to mistake confidence and assertiveness for knowledge and understanding. Education also can give us a 'nose" for that.
Dec 1 2012: I agree. There is more to an education than what I propose here but this idea is young and the page space was short.
Perhaps students could progress through a chain of professionals in different fields.
When I was a kid, if I wanted to learn the piano I didn't study history or college algebra. I practiced piano. Practice.
Instead of having kids learn things by studying them, I propose that students learn things by practicing them and this is the heart of my proposed idea.
And I believe so strongly in exposing students to a range of disciplines, and encouraging critical thinking and interdisciplinary thinking. Our system today doesn't teach these as efficiently as it could either, but they must be worked in to a viable education model.
Dec 1 2012: I understand, with two reservations. One is that education in any context, very much including the classroom, should involve continuous application. We learn not just by listening but by a combination of listening/reading, thinking, and doing things in a hands-on way. This is true in the classroom and beyond it. People who do not use material in a context in which they get competent feedback often think they understand something better than they do.
Second, I doubt that when you wanted to learn piano, all you did was practice piano. I bet you were also learning other things that same day and week, though not at the same moment you were practicing piano.
Single-minded, narrow specialization is not necessarily the best course.Dec 1 2012: If you find this hard to believe, I won't blame you.
For many skilled positions, your solution was exactly the way many people were trained, by their employers. Then came the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Equal employment opportunity was a BIG issue then, and over the next several years this law resulted in many law suits against employers, some of them baseless. Employers needed a way to standardize the employee selection process. Most employers took the easy way out, by simply requiring a college degree. This solved the equal opportunity problem and also provided employers with better candidates. Coincidentally the draft for the Vietnam war was producing many veterans eligible for the benefits of the GI Bill; one benefit being help with college tuition.
To this day, many skilled positions that could be filled by high school graduates still require a college degree. Changing this would involve changing the law.
One of many unintended consequences.
Dec 1 2012: That is perfect to know. It totally makes sense, so if we were to change education in this way, we'd need a way to make it fair. How about supplementing the mentored learning position with two things:
1) A classically designed education but from a far cheaper and accessible online source like coursera or udacity?
2) Have peers of students under an employee. Then the employer discriminates less because he hires more, the peers can help each other through the learning process. The employer may not be able to hire all the students, and that could be a problem.Dec 1 2012: Aren't we focusing on the crazy way we Americans do things? Early creative individuals in America would freely borrow from others. e.g. Ben Franklin The other industrial countries don't delude themselves with the idea of keeping all students in school for thirteen years. So we've helped our country by the educator professional agenda? IS that what you are approaching. Want 1,ooo Phd physicists a year The American federal government nudges that to fruition Even if there aren't that many jobs. Your idea is right in that we should always think and analyze.

Eight Riderwood retirement community residents reported missing property over the last few months.
During that time, facility-owned computer equipment also was missing. The facility computer equipment stolen was password protected and did not include Social Security, credit or other financial information, according to an emailed statement by Erickson Living, which manages the retirement community in Silver Spring.
Jeffrey Getek, a spokesman for Erickson, provided the statement.
Erickson officials would not confirm whether medical information for residents was stored on the computer equipment, but they said they have "no reason to believe that any information has been accessed."
To help prevent further incidents during the last two months, Erickson said Riderwood has increased security measures campuswide, worked with multiple law enforcement agencies, had a transparent dialogue with residents and staff, sent letters, had town hall meetings and done some in-house TV programming to alert residents and keep them informed.
Officials said the incidents were "highly unusual" in Riderwood's 13-year history.
Erickson was unable to comment on whether keys have been duplicated or whether stolen items have been recovered.
They said the police investigation is continuing and that Riderwood and Erickson have been fully cooperating to "identify and prosecute the individual(s) involved."
Montgomery County Police had not responded to a request for more information by Monday afternoon.

Test ID: A2M
Alpha-2-Macroglobulin, Serum
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluation of patients with nephrotic syndrome and pancreatitis
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Alpha-2-macroglobulin is a protease inhibitor and is 1 of the largest plasma proteins. It transports hormones and enzymes, exhibits effector and inhibitor functions in the development of the lymphatic system, and inhibits components of the complement system and hemostasis system.
Increased levels of alpha-2-macroglobulin are found in nephrotic syndrome when other lower molecular weight proteins are lost and alpha-2-macroglobulin is retained because of its large size. In patients with liver cirrhosis and diabetes, the levels are found to be elevated.
Patients with acute pancreatitis exhibit low serum concentrations which correlate with the severity of the disease. In hyperfibrinolytic states, after major surgery, in septicemia and severe hepatic insufficiency, the measured levels of alpha-2-macroglobulin are often low. Acute myocardial infarction patients with low alpha-2-macroglobulin have been reported to have a significantly better prognosis with regard to the >1 year survival time.
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.
100-280 mg/dL
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Values are elevated in the nephrotic syndrome in proportion to the severity of protein loss (lower molecular weight).
Values are low in proteolytic diseases such as pancreatitis.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Deficiency or increase may be seen as elevated or decreased alpha-2 peaks on serum protein electrophoresis.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

(Bloomberg) The budget deal struck by the White House and Senate Republican leaders, if it becomes law, probably would slow the U.S. economic recovery without stopping it.
The elimination of a 2 percent payroll tax cut, coupled with higher income taxes on the wealthy, will help reduce growth in the first quarter to 1 percent, from 3.1 percent in 2012s third quarter, the latest data available, according to economists at JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America Corp. The expansion will strengthen later in the year as the housing market continues to rebound, they forecast.
Its going to definitely present a headwind for the economy, Michael Feroli, chief U.S. economist for JPMorgan Chase in New York, said of the fiscal pact that the Senate planned to vote on early today. Were looking for a downdraft in growth in the first half of the year, with the economy coming back in the second.
The first half slowdown will mean that the U.S. will make limited progress in reducing unemployment in 2013, according to projections by Ethan Harris, co-head of global economic research for Bank of America in New York. He sees the jobless rate falling to 7.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013 from 7.7 percent in November 2012.
The agreement forged in talks between Vice President Joe Biden and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, would avert some, though not all, of more than $600 billion in automatic tax increases and spending cuts slated to take effect this year. Under the accord, households making less than $450,000 per year would be spared an income tax rate increase. And the unemployed would still be eligible for extended jobless benefits.
Payroll taxes would rise, to 6.2 percent from 4.2 percent last year. And the wealthy would see an increase in their top income tax rate, to 39.6 percent, from 35 percent.
The deal faces an uncertain fate in the Republican- controlled House of Representatives. House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio said last night he would bring any budget legislation passed by the Senate to the House floor.
Even if the measure is passed by the House, the agreement wont mean the end of budget brinksmanship, Andrew Laperriere, senior managing director for ISI Group in Washington, said in a report yesterday to clients.
The U.S. has hit its $16.4 trillion debt limit, forcing the Treasury Department to take what it called extraordinary measures to keep funding the government for now.

Lindsay Lohan portrait made of trash (Jason Mecier)
If you thought this headline was an insult, you thought wrong. This portrait of Lindsay Lohan really is made of trash.
Artist Jason Mecier – the guy behind some of those amazing celebrity portraits made of candy – picked through trash, recycling, and used other found objects to create a true work of art inspired by the embattled starlet.
Several items in the work are even LiLo-related, including the star's CDs and DVDs and two collectible "Mean Girls" nail files. Some other choice items found within the portrait: jewelry, sunglasses, credit cards, handcuffs, empty bottles of booze, prescription bottles, and Visine. But the list of art supplies gets a little gross from there.
Mecier tells omg! he also used Monistat 7, eight Q-Tips, 13 bullet shells, four ant traps, 29 cigarette butts, and even a single tampon. Ew.
"I love Lindsay! I'm a huge fan," Mercier said. "She seems to love publicity and controversy, so I think she will like it. It's all in fun. This portrait is glamorous and bad ass!"
And where does the artist, who spent more than 50 hours on his latest creation, think the portrait should hang?
"It would look great hanging in Lindsay's living room," he said.

All socks in each gift set are size M (fits shoe sizes 7-9½).

Got these for my wife ... she loves them. Warm and comfortble, without being sweaty when she is wearing them in hiking boots, winter boots, plain 'ol boots or even around the house at night. The SmartWool wears like nothing else .. great product, good buy.
Best Uses
I gave these to a relative for Christmas and she is very happy with them. She has had the smart wool socks before and likes them.
Best Uses
I ordered three pair, two as gifts and one for me. I love the feel of the socks. They are stylish, warm but not hot, and very comfortable. I notice that although they stay up they don't leave a mark on my leg like other socks do. My friends love their socks too.
Best Uses
These socks typify Duluth Trading Company quality and make for great stocking stuffers that are sure to be a big hit. This is a product line worth expanding on.
My daughter is not a fan of wool socks. However, these socks won her over. I gave her a pair to try out. The next day she was looking for the other two pairs. Kept her feet warm without the itch. Will order more for myself
Best Uses
I discovered Smartwool socks years ago and request them in all their permutations( hiking, running, regular crew) each Christmas from my non-sports loving relatives. Thank heavens they always get them for me. They are worth every penny, and I almost kept these for myself in spite of the fact that I have many pairs. They WILL go to my sister....I think...if she's nice.
Best Uses
Gave a set to my wife last year for Christmas, this year I got her a different color, hope she likes these as well as she liked the other ones. It's a fairly easy "slam dunk" good gift!

text: To understand where I am going with this article feel free to take moment and look back on a previous article under the name "Reflection on "5 Things the Red Sox Need to do in 2013 to get back on top" (http://matterofsox.com/slideshows/5-things-the-red-sox-need-to-do-in-2013-to-get-back-to-the-top?page=1) In this article I listed 5 things I believed were something the Sox needed to work on over the next season or next few seasons if they plan on becoming the team they were a few years ago. Over the past 2 seasons the Sox have missed the playoffs for multiple reasons and injuries, lack of teamwork, a faulty rotation, stupid errors and lack of speed on the bases has been just a few of the reasons the Sox have failed to do much. Obviously, firing Francona did not help anything as last year just got worse being one of the worst Red Sox seasons in the past century. Now for this article I will review and reflect on the 5 things and how they have either improved or gotten worse through the first 2 months of play this season.

Adam Ant (born Stuart Leslie Goddard on 3 November 1954 in Marylebone, London) is an English musician who gained popularity as the lead singer of New Wave/post-punk group Adam and the Ants and later as a solo artist, scoring ten UK top ten hits between 1980 and 1983, including three No.1s. Ant was also a star in America where he not only scored a string of hit singles and albums, but was once voted sexiest man in America by the viewers of MTV. He is also an actor, having appeared in over two dozen films or television episodes between 1985 and 2003. Since 2010, Ant has undertaken a major reactivation of his musical career, performing live regularly in his hometown London and beyond, recording a new album and with two full-length UK national tours now completed and a US national tour now scheduled. His present comeback continues and thrives despite concerns about such activities being merely another symptom of the mental health issues which were in considerable part responsible for his lengthy spell of near-inactivity spanning the late 1990s and 2000s.

A coalition of local Muslims and others are urging Montgomery County Public Schools to close on two holidays, which the coalition's co-chair, Saqib Ali, framed as a civil rights issue.
Besides an amended county school system calendar, the Equality for Eid Coalition — sponsored by the Maryland chapter of the Council of American Islamic Relations — wants students and staff members to skip school on Oct. 15 and instead celebrate Eid al-Adha.
Supporters can sign the coalition's online petition at www.equality4eid.com. As of Monday, it had about 260 signatures.
The coalition, which formed about a year ago, also wants schools to close when classes conflict with another Muslim holiday, Eid al-Fitr. However, for at least the next three years, Eid al-Fitr will fall on days during the school system's summer break.
Both Eid holidays fall on different days each year, as they follow the Islam lunar calendar.
Eid al-Adha marks the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. Eid al-Fitr celebrates the end of Ramadan, according to the coalition's website.
The issue was discussed by the county Board of Education in November 2012, when it opted not to close school on the Muslim holidays after parents and community leaders requested it.
School system staff reported at the time there was not a high absentee rate on the holiday in the past three years.
Ali — a state delegate from 2007 to 2011 who has filed to run again next year — said, however, the coalition thinks attendance is "not the right question to ask."
The decisions to close school on or near Christian and Jewish holidays were not based on similar analyses of attendance records, Ali said, and Muslim holidays should not be held to a different standard.
"If we're only going to use them (the attendance studies) for certain communities, that's not equitable," Ali said.
Ali said the number of Muslim students in the county school system is unknown.
"But we know there's a significant number and it seems to be growing," he said.
According to its website, the coalition's supporters include Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett, County Council President Nancy Navarro, and seven state senators and delegates.
Montgomery County Board of Education member Philip Kauffman (At-large) of Olney said it boils down to what the law allows.
"We need evidence of student absences or staff absences that would impact on the delivery of instruction," he said.
The school system will monitor absences this year, he said, though past studies in recent years have not indicated a "discernable trend."
Schools close on Christian holidays such as Christmas and Good Friday under state law.
Chief Operating Officer Larry Bowers said the school system added Jewish holidays such as Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur based on low attendance from Jewish teachers and students on the holidays.
The school system, however, does not have records showing how it came to the decision in the early 1970s, he said.
Since then, Bowers said, case law has arisen that lets districts close schools only for secular purposes.
"We make it clear that these are excused absences, but we, at this stage, we really need to follow the law," Kauffman said.
The school system recognizes both Muslim holidays by declaring them nontesting days and giving Muslim students excused absences.
Mimi Hassanein, outreach coordinator for the Islamic Society of Germantown, said she personally has advocated on this issue for about 25 years and joined the campaign about a year ago.
Hassanein has had three children go through the county school system and has five grandchildren currently attending. She said she has had a "positive" experience in her efforts to help educate school system teachers and staff about Muslim holidays and culture.
Yet, she wants schools to close in observance of the Eids, either entirely or just for students.
Hassanein said the school system has been more sensitive to Muslim students and staff by trying not to schedule exams or introduce new topics in class.
But, she said, "it varies from school to school. It's not set in stone."
In her experience, she said, about half of Muslim families have their children miss school to celebrate an Eid holiday.
Montgomery County Council member George L. Leventhal (D-At large) of Takoma Park has supported efforts to close school on Muslim holidays in the past and said he thinks the school system eventually will decide to close schools.
"It poses a conflict for people who want to exercise their right to religious observance," Leventhal said.
If schools remain open, he said, parents and students "highly motivated toward academic achievement" will go to school instead of celebrating.
If schools were open on a Jewish holiday such as Rosh Hashanah, Leventhal said, he thinks "a substantial number" of Jewish students would attend classes.
Leventhal said the school system has "a lot of flexibility" when it comes to closing schools.
"They've drawn the line at Christians and Jews, and that's exclusionary," he said.
Area mosques and organizations, including Jews United for Justice, which has an activism focus in the Washington, D.C., area, are supporting the campaign.
Rebecca Ennen, the organization's development and communications manager, said generally holidays are "crucial and central" to a religious group's community and identity.
"When those don't get recognized, it's a real negation of what our values are and what we stand for," she said.
The coalition plans to hold a press conference Monday outside the Montgomery County Council Office Building in Rockville announce itself and its mission.
The school board is scheduled to discuss the issue next in the fall of 2014.

Sadly, I have not met Justine ::frown:: so instead of an Amber Adventure we will call this feature Awesome Author Says What?! where we will highlight a discussion by the Author (usually on their blog) that makes us think or laugh or stand up and clap our hands.
Justine Larbalestier Says What?!: The Cover of Liar:
Last summer, a controversy broke out when readers who were lucky enough to score an advanced reader's copy of Liar realized that the girl they were reading about did not have the same skin color as the girl portrayed on the book's cover. Here is what Justine had to say about the cover:
"Every year at every publishing house, intentionally and unintentionally, there are white-washed covers. Since I've told publishing friends how upset I am with my Liar cover, I have been hearing anecdotes from every single house about how hard it is to push through covers with people of colour on them….How welcome is a black teen going to feel in the YA section when all the covers are white? Why would she pick up Liar when it has a cover that so explicitly excludes her?" Check Justine's blog post for the rest of her comments.
Also, take a look at this video "concerning the standards of beauty imposed on today's black girls and how this affects their self-image" produced by Kiri Davis in 2005 for her high-school literature class:

ESL Friday Results
LEEDS 20-14 St Helens The Rhinos made it three wins out against the Saints in a bad-tempered clash at Headingley.
Round 14 - NRL Wrap
FRIDAY night's game between Newcastle and the Dragons was the perfect follow-up to Origin I. Both sides played end-to-end footy and with the Knights getting home thanks to a rip snorter of a goal right on fulltime. The man of the moment was Andrew Johns and for those who doubt that Joey is the best player in the world, you only have to listen to the Gus Gould and the TV commentary team. Pedantic critics point to a word count of 'Joey' 63 times, 'Johns' 136 times and 'champion halfback' 1,354 times. But as far as this expert is concerned, Gus was merely reassuring us that all is well between he and Joey. It was one the most well-balanced and down to earth match calls since the great Rex Mossop aired his dulcet tones during Channel 7's 'Manly match of the day' in the 1970s.
