2008 Facelift - Another Success!
A huge Thank You to everyone that came out to this years clean-up. You all did an outstanding job.
Over 2,000 people participated cleaning up trails, roadways, river corridors, campgrounds, lodging and housing areas. Several special projects which were headed by NPS crew leaders were completed as well. Some of those were the clean-up of a previous dump site in Tuolumne Meadows, the removal of some abandoned phone lines that ran to Nevada Falls and Mirror Lake and the removal of 400 old and rusted fire rings.
In all 41, 631 pounds of trash was picked up with two thirds of it being recycled. Over 100 miles of trail and sixty miles of roadway were cleaned up and over 1,000 pounds of non-native plant species were removed.
A very special thanks goes to all the kid's groups that participated: Yosemite Institute, the El Portal School, the Yosemite School and a Brownie Troop from Sacramento.
So many different user groups came together to help in this effort to take care of our beloved Yosemite. This event brings so much to us and we think, to everyone that participated and will participate in the future. We hope this event ripples out to all of your local areas with the understanding that the Facelift really isn't just for five days but that it's more of a way in which we should all conduct ourselves and take responsibility in our daily lives.
There's One Month Left.... to check out the exhibit - Granite Frontiers: A Century of Yosemite Climbing, in the valley museum. The exhibit is open daily from 10am - 4pm and will be up until early November. And it looks like it will be traveling in the next year. But, if there are any interested parties that would like to host the exhibit please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Donations Keep Us Going Thanks to everyone for all the support and donations, they are what keep us going. Anyone interested indonating or know of grants that would suit us please contact Ken Yager at Yosemite Climbing Association PO Box 89 Yosemite National Park, CA 95389 or via email to email@example.com or by clicking here: YCA Donations

Editor's Review
Midwest Living Recommends
Both an art gallery and a boutique, the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art carries a wonderful selection of modern paintings, sculptures, jewelry and textiles.
The New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art is both an exhibition space and a boutique, each highlighting the work of local and regional artists. Although the gallery space was temporarily closed when we visited (for installation of the next exhibition), we enjoyed browsing the boutique, where artists sell their work on consignment. One highlight is the vibrant, modern paintings; this is not the place to pick up a watercolor landscape of New Harmony. The boutique also carries jewelry, sculptures, functional pottery items, and beautiful ribbons and wall hangings from local textile designer LFN Textiles.

Interpretive Handbook
80083 :
Cobalt, 24 Hour, Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Cobalt is rare but widely distributed in the environment. It is an essential cofactor in vitamin B12. While cobalt is an essential element, cobalt deficiency has not been reported in humans.
Cobalt is used in the manufacture of hard alloys with high melting points and resistance to oxidation. Cobalt salts are also used in the glass and pigment industry. Previously, cobalt salts were sometimes used as foam stabilizers in the brewing industry; this practice was banned due to the cardiovascular diseases it induced. The radioactive isotope of cobalt, (60)Co, is used as a gamma emitter in experimental biology, cancer therapy, and industrial radiography.
Cobalt is not highly toxic, but large doses will produce adverse clinical manifestations. Acute symptoms are pulmonary edema, allergy, nausea, vomiting, hemorrhage, and renal failure. Chronic symptoms include pulmonary syndrome, skin disorders, and thyroid abnormalities. The inhalation of dust during machining of cobalt alloyed metals can lead to interstitial lung disease. Improperly handled (60)Co can cause radiation poisoning from exposure to gamma radiation.
Urine cobalt concentrations are likely to be increased above the reference value in patients with metallic joint prosthesis. Prosthetic devices produced by Zimmer Company and Johnson and Johnson typically are made of aluminum, vanadium, and titanium. Prosthetic devices produced by Depuy Company, Dow Corning, Howmedica, LCS, PCA, Osteonics, Richards Company, Tricon, and Whiteside typically are made of chromium, cobalt, and molybdenum. This list of products is incomplete, and these products change occasionally; see prosthesis product information for each device for composition details.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Detecting cobalt exposure
Monitoring metallic prosthetic implant wear
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Concentrations > or =2.0 mcg/specimen indicate excess exposure. There are no Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) blood or urine criteria for occupational exposure to cobalt.
Prosthesis wear is known to result in increased circulating concentration of metal ions. In a patient with a cobalt-based implant, modest increase (2-4 mcg/specimen) in urine cobalt concentration is likely to be associated with a prosthetic device in good condition. Excessive exposure is indicated when urine cobalt concentration is >5 mcg/specimen, consistent with prosthesis wear. Urine concentrations >20 mcg/specimen in a patient with a cobalt-based implant suggest significant prosthesis wear. Increased urine trace element concentrations in the absence of corroborating clinical information do not independently predict prosthesis wear or failure.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test is not useful to assess vitamin B12 activity.
High concentrations of gadolinium and iodine are known to interfere with most metals tests. If either gadolinium- or iodine-containing contrast media has been administered, a specimen should not be collected for 96 hours.
Specimen collection procedures for cobalt require special specimen collection tubes, rigorous attention to ultraclean specimen collection and handling procedures, and analysis in an ultraclean facility. Unless all of these precautions are taken, elevated urine cobalt results may be an incidental and misleading finding.
Metal-free urine collection procedures must be followed (see http://www.mayomedicallaboratories.com/it-mmfiles/MetalsAnalysis.pdf).
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
0.0-1.9 mcg/specimen
Reference values apply to all ages.
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Using germ-killing soap and ointment on all intensive care unit patients can reduce bloodstream infections by up to 44 percent and significantly reduce the presence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in ICUs, according study results published in today's New England Journal of Medicine.
The REDUCE MRSA trial, funded by the Department of Health and Human Services, was conducted in two stages from 2009-2011. It tested three MRSA prevention strategies and found that using germ-killing soap and ointment on all ICU patients was more effective than other strategies.
"The strategy that proved to be most effective was perhaps the most straightforward: All patients were bathed daily with chlorhexidine antiseptic soap for the duration of their ICU stay and all received mupirocin antibiotic ointment applied in the nose for five days," said Dr. Mary K. Hayden, associate professor of infectious diseases and pathology at Rush University Medical Center, and one of the co-authors of the study.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Chocolate you could eat right off of the page! These elegant delights are from Chocolaterie Wanders of Manassas, Virginia.

Gourmet Chocolate Gift Favorites From America's Artisan Chocolatiers: Part I
Page 4: Cocoa Puro & Daily Chocolate
This is Page 4 of a 6-page review of gourmet chocolate gift favorites. Click on the black links below to visit other pages.
Cocoa Puro
Everyone and his brother is making chocolate-covered cocoa nibs these days, but I think Cocoa Puro has a much better (and tastier!) idea. Their Kakawa Cocoa Beans are whole, roasted, fine-quality cacao beans, coated in three different types of chocolate and dusted in cocoa powder. The chocolatier behind these beans is fiercely insistent upon using only what he regards as top-quality products. Kakawa beans emerge from their resealable, red gift bags looking somewhat like chocolate-covered almonds, but any resemblance ends there. Bite into one, and multiple textures and flavors, all chocolate, crowd into your mouth. These beans manage to be earthy and opulent simultaneously—no mean trick! Read our full review of Cocoa Puro, a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week. CocoaPuro.com
Daily Chocolate
It wasn't so very long ago that the citizens of this great country thought that the epitome of chocolate came in a box you could purchase at any drugstore and keep for months. The fact that Daily Chocolate is thriving shows how far many Americans have come, for you'll find no "drugstore" chocolates here. Instead, look for a walnut-almond-white rum-dried plum nougat, coated in dark chocolate and sparingly garnished with pistachios. I meant to save half for you to try, honest! Maybe you'll have better luck keeping the Napoleon away from me; it's a dark fudge pâté with raspberry, caramel and nuts, a multi-level piece with great visual effects and textural contrasts. Other offerings include an intriguing white chocolate-lemon-lavender-almond bark and a nicely done mint patty; both are far from ordinary. The retail boutique, at 7 Green Street in Vergennes, Vermont, is open Wednesday through Saturday except during holiday season and peak tourist season, when it is open open six days per week.

Fascinating Question.
I have thought about it for a while. The immense boredom and loneliness would drive someone crazy. In that case I would never get the unlimited amount of drugs, because at some point you cross over to the stuff like heroin or coke. And with that it is over you probably don't even survive the 10 years.
I definitely would take the:
Kitchen(6) you are enclosed for a year. You have to eat right
Gym(5) need stress relief and good health
then either
Garden(2) especially if I can grow weed. Since I need to have some mind altering substance to pass the time. or grapes to make wine
5 million
Internet(16)- gives you communication, current events, entertainment
Garden(2) once again cheap source of mind altering substance
Pool table(1) once again last point
10 million

I would like to adjust four-body carbs by myself, in order to avoid spent money every time. What are the basic rules, tools and secrets of many body carbs regulation?

Cut the aquarium hose in half to make two lengths. Use each to make a water manometer to balance each pair of carbs (left pair and right pair). Then balance the inner pair and the outer pair using the same method.

CST Performance Suspension manufactures only the highest quality leveling kits, 2wd lift spindles & spindle lift kits, four wheel drive lift kits, shocks and accessories for 2WD or 4WD truck's & S.U.V's. Everything we design from our leveling kits to our lift kits has proudly been made here in the U.S. At California SuperTrucks we continue to stand strong behind our belief that building the highest quality lift kits and suspension components using only the strongest materials is the first step to success in selling the highest quality lift kits.
All of our leveling kits are made in the U.S., priced competitively, easy to install and complement our 2WD spindle line perfectly to achieve 4-7" of lift.
CST is proud to offer the most extensive & complete line of 2WD lift spindles on the market, at the core of our spindle line is our fabricated lift spindles. Every fabricated lift spindle we design starts with laser cut ¼" (or thicker) steel, CNC machined ball joint tapers and is completely Mig welded before going to powder-coat for our high gloss black finish. We expanded our 2WD spindle line-up in the last couple years by introducing our ductile cast-iron lift spindles for the 2000-2010 GM 2500hd, 2004-2010 Colorado & Canyon, 2003-2008 Dodge RAM 2500 & most recently for the 2002-2014 Dodge Ram 1500. All of our lift spindles, including our cast-iron line are proudly made here in the U.S. & include all of the necessary install hardware.
Like everything else we build CST lift kits are engineered beyond industry standards, to provide multiple lift height options with minimal trac-width change and minimal CV angle change on IFS 4WD's. Most of our IFS 4WD lift kits drop the lower arm using a gusseted one-piece tubular sub-frame that will install smoothly, flush up against the O.E. x-member and provide the highest available ground clearance. Similar to our fabricated 2WD lift spindles most CST IFS 4WD lift kits use CNC machined, laser cut & fabricated spindles. All CST lift kits include instructions and all of the necessary hardware required for a smooth installation.
The newest addition to a long line of accessories CST has to offer is our Dirt-Series & Pro-Series shocks, our race inspired re-buildable steel body shocks have a hard anodized finish and are available in several applications with more coming daily! We currently offer 2.0 emulsion shocks, 2.0 reservoir shocks, 2.5 coil-overs, 2.5 with reservoir and a limited line of 14-way adjustable 2.5" shocks & coil-overs. Our CST Dirt-Series & Pro-Series UCA (upper control arm) kits are the perfect addition to CST leveling, lift and coil-over kits. Most CST UCA kits are available in Uni-Ball or Pro-Joint and offer extended droop travel. We also offer our Street-Series shock line, steering stabilizers, lift blocks, shackles skid-plates and much more…

Still Surprised by Easter
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.

To marty right now on 1530? He is lighting up Felipe Lopez!
To marty right now on 1530? He is lighting up Felipe Lopez!
what did he say about him
Anything worth mentioning from the press conference?

Nor will they even sniff the World Series, or possibily the playoffs, with the crap they are playing at SS right now(Clayton/Castro).Originally Posted by NastyBoy
I miss Adam Dunn.
Lopez has always been in Marty's doghouse, with the exception of about 4 weeks last year when Lopez was really hitting hot.
As soon as the Reds picked up Castro again, you knew Marty would want Lopez out of town
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy

"The single most important thing for a hitter is to get a good pitch to hit. A good hitter can hit a pitch thats over the plate three times better than a great hitter with a ball in a tough spot.
--Ted Williams
That is about when I started listening. I think he said that not just the Reds but no team will make it to the playoffs with FeLo as their SS. He said he does not make the routine play and has brain cramps. He also said that he really likes Clayton and would not care if he hit .170. He thinks EE sits because Aurilia has that veteran presence needed down the stretch and EE does not. Well, that and the error problem. But Marty said that if EE can fix that problem he will be a force but he sees him eventually moving to 1st.Originally Posted by NastyBoy
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
That is a better summary...Originally Posted by Chip R
"I notice that I'm throwing hard when I hear the crowd gasping," - Chapman
Yeah, Marty has been beating the "EdE to 1st base" drum all season.
Frankly, I think that's a crazy idea. EdE's defense isn't that bad, and there's hope for improvement.
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
Yeah, Clayton's statueesque range and three errors since the trade sure are an improvement over Lopez.Originally Posted by NastyBoy
I miss Adam Dunn.
No his defense is not all that bad but I do like the idea of moving him to 1st.I think he'd be a good defensive 1st baseman and the less pressure of playing 3rd will make him an even better hitter. It worked for Tony Perez.Originally Posted by REDREAD

Animal Print Handbags – Still Hot For 2012
Animal print has been around for a long time in the fashion industry, and has made its appearance on everything from dresses, to shoes, to handbags. The outlook for the remainder of 2012 seems to have animal print sticking around for a while still, as it is showing no obvious signs of waning. The fact that the hottest celebrities are strolling around town carrying animal print handbags is a testament to the fact that animal print will most likely be a staple in the fashion industry for a while to come.
Although leopard print has traditionally been one of the more popular and abundant animal prints available, other prints have also made their splash on the fashion scene on handbags everywhere. You'll also see cow print, and even zebra print on runways and streets alike. In fact, zebra print seems to be one of the hottest animal prints out there right now.
Fashion experts have noted that zebra print will probably have the most staying power among all of the animal prints, though any type of animal print will most likely remain in style for a while still. In comparison to other trends, animal print seems to have lasted an extraordinarily long amount of time. These prints are quite versatile, and can be paired with a neutral outfit to bring pizzazz and flair to the most boring outfit. Below you'll find some great animal print handbags on the market.

The Staying Power of Animal Print Handbags
Although animal print on dresses and tops may be a bit much for some women, the perfect solution is to carry an animal print handbag instead. This print doesn't seem to be going anywhere, as can be proven by the amount of animal print bags we are seeing on the fashion runways of the world. An animal print handbag is the perfect way to make any subtle outfit pop, and is a fashion-forward way to accent your ensemble.

In 2011, Amy Einhorn Books/Putnam (Penguin) published my dear friend Siobhan Fallon's debut short story collection, You Know When the Men Are Gone. (If you didn't know, Amy Einhorn is the editor who gave readers The Help by Kathryn Stockett.) Siobhan is a U.S. Army wife, and her stories delve into the lives of military families at Fort Hood in Texas over the course of a year while their soldiers are deployed to Iraq.
And now, some of the stories from her collection, which are linked, have been adapted to the stage. If you happen to be in San Francisco from Jan. 1 through Feb. 24, 2013, get tickets to the Z Space Word for Word production. I saw an early version of it last year, and it was fantastic. Her stories are already powerful and moving—comparisons to Tim O'Brien and Raymond Carver have been made—and seeing them played out by this fine troupe of actors does nothing but enhance them.
For more information, check out the Word for Word webpage or blog.

Gallery: Gigantic Energy-Generating Waterfall Skyscraper Could Power th...
The self-sustaining tower for the 2016 Olympic Games is designed to create renewable energy for use in the Olympic Village as well as the city of Rio. A large solar power plant generates energy during the day. Any excess power not used during the day is utilized to pump seawater into a storage tank within the tower. At night, the water is released to power turbines, which will provide nighttime power for the city. On special occasions water is pumped out to create a waterfall over the edges of the building, which RAFAA says will be, "a symbol for the forces of nature." Info on the size of the solar and pumped water storage system is not available yet.
Access to the eco tower is gained through an urban plaza and amphitheater 60 meters above sea level, which can be used for social gatherings. On the ocean side of the 105 meter tower (behind the waterfall) is a cafeteria and shop. An elevator takes visitors up to the top floor where an observation deck offers 360 views of the ocean and city. At level 90.5, a bungee platform is available for adventurous visitors.

Oh, it's a real concept.
February 14, 2011 at 10:32 pm
It is world events such as the 2016 Olympic Games that provide a venue to show case cutting edge technology and architecture acheivements. The fact that this design is sustainable in it's own right is a tremendous endorsement of what is possible in the renewable energy age. If this was the industrial age we would be pumping water with non renewable energy imported for the occasion.

I would like to know if this is ONLY A PROJECT concept or has it been accepted by the govt and construction has begun?
Where are the details of the energy calculation available?– Powering the whole of the city from SOLR seems impossible unless there has been breakthrough in sorler ceel technology

"It looks great" doesn't excuse its shocking shortcomings, we really have too many beautiful-but-dumb designs already.
June 8, 2010 at 9:14 am
what is this for? the energy is already there! in the water!
May 10, 2010 at 11:21 am
It must be a joke.
This is not an official project!!!
It looks like self-marketing project of a nonsense architect with a lot of free time to waste.
Please do that in Switzerland, because here in Rio we don\\\'t buy this kind of bad project.
May 8, 2010 at 1:17 pm
Gosh, you guys are harsh. I'd wait to see their energy analysis calculations before bashing them and calling their project rubbish and nonsense.
I think it's a good looking design, and a decent response to the competition. You're right, it probably wouldn't be as energy positive as they hope, but without analyzing the solar plant, and the turbines we can't be sure.
It looks great, and it's not hopeful, but I hope they prove us wrong.
March 21, 2010 at 8:43 pm
I don't really think this is useful, after all all this is just a place for "social gatherings", shop and bungee jump?? I guess that program could be expanded to be much more interesting and useful.
March 21, 2010 at 8:10 pm
this is exactly the kind of nonsense architecture needs to move away from. the amount of energy required to draw the volume of water necessary for this would negate any net energy benefit. moving forward, the iconic, attention-grabbing masturbation excercise demonstrated here will hopefully be left behind with the trashy Dubai phalluses and refrigerated beaches.
March 19, 2010 at 10:43 pm
what a load of rubbish.
the amount of water that could be stored at the top of that slab would in no way gush out as per the fancy render. they'd have to continuously pump water up to the top of that thing at massive quantities to achieve this 'waterfall' effect, otherwise its just going to be a little pissy mist coming out.
so what we have is a massive vertical slab with a big pumping water system to push a whole lot of water out the top. what a ridiculous waste of energy. the token 'oh its to turn waterwheels' post-rationale for the 'awesome' waterfall image doesn't cut it.
look at that amazing site! this… thing… is the best they could come up with? idiots.

Whether you're making a sandwich or cooking dinner, there's a good chance that you may be chopping up onions for added flavor.
These wrapped wonders are not only good for cooking, but also provide natural health benefits!
Here are tips on how to chop an onion in four easy steps from expert cook Ken Haedrich.
Select a sharp chef's knife. Before you begin, peel off as many layers of papery skin as you can, the better to make your first cut without your knife glancing off the surface. Pull off any hairy roots, too. They have an unappetizing way of ending up where they shouldn't. Place the onion on its side on a chopping board. Hold your knife comfortably, with your forefinger running down one side of the blade and your thumb pressed against the opposite side. With one fell swoop, slide the knife down and away from you, slicing off the top half inch of the onion. (If your knife isn't particularly sharp, first pierce the surface of the onion with the tip of your knife so the blade has a starting notch.)
Turn the onion so it rests on the newly cut flat surface. Starting at the center of the root end, slice the onion in half. Peel off any remaining skin.
Rest half the onion on its largest flat surface, root end pointing away from you. Working from the far edge of the onion toward your body, slice down through the onion, leaving about 1/2 inch between each cut. Do not, however, slice through the onion at the root end. (An intact root end keeps the onion from falling apart.)
Rotate the onion so the end cut faces your knife blade. Then make 1/2-inch cuts perpendicular to the first set of cuts. The onion will fall apart into neat, 1/2-inch dice. Discard root. Repeat with the other half.

Test ID: PMMIF
Phosphomannomutase (PMM) and Phosphomannose Isomerase (PMI), Fibroblasts
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of congenital disorders of glycosylation Ia (phosphomannomutase-2 deficiency [CDG-Ia or PMM2-CDG]) and Ib (phosphomannose isomerase deficiency [CDG-Ib or MPI-CDG]) as measured in fibroblasts
A follow-up test for patients with an abnormal transferrin isoform profile as determined by isoelectric focusing or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (eg, CDG / Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin for Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation, Serum)
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG), formerly known as carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome, are a group of inherited metabolic diseases that affect 1 of the steps of the pathway involved in glycosylation. CDGs typically present as multisystemic disorders with developmental delay, hypotonia, abnormal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, hypoglycemia, and protein-losing enteropathy. There is considerable variation in the severity of this group of diseases, which can range from hydrops fetalis to a mild presentation in adults. In some subtypes (Ib, in particular) intelligence is not compromised.
Phosphomannomutase-2 deficiency (CDG-Ia or PMM2-CDG) is an autosomal recessive glycosylation disorder resulting from reduced or absent activity of the enzyme phosphomannomutase-2, encoded by the PMM2 gene. Over 700 individuals have been described to date, making it the most common congenital disorder CDG worldwide. All patients with CDG-Ia have a neurological manifestation of disease with variable involvement of other organ systems. Individuals with this disorder typically present in the neonatal period with failure to thrive, developmental delay, abnormal subcutaneous fat distribution, elevated liver transaminases, and abnormal MRI findings. Currently, there is no cure and treatment remains primarily supportive and symptomatic.
Phosphomannose isomerase deficiency (CDG-Ib or MPI-CDG) is an autosomal recessive glycosylation disorder resulting from reduced or absent activity of phosphomannose isomerase, an enzyme encoded by the MPI gene. This subtype of CDG is unique in that there is little to no involvement of the central nervous system. The primary clinical manifestations are a result of aberrant gastrointestinal function. In particular, individuals with CDG-Ib may present with failure to thrive, hypoglycemia, chronic diarrhea, and protein-losing enteropathy. Although CDG-Ib can be life threatening, it can be effectively treated with mannose supplementation.
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.
Normal >700 nmol/h/mg Prot
Normal >1,500 nmol/h/mg Prot
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Normal results are not consistent with either phosphomannomutase-2 deficiency (CDG-Ia or PMM2-CDG) or phosphomannose isomerase deficiency (CDG-Ib or MPI-CDG).
Markedly reduced activity of phosphomannomutase is consistent with a diagnosis of CDG-Ia. Markedly reduced activity of phosphomannose isomerase is consistent with a diagnosis of CDG-Ib.
Mild to moderately reduced enzyme activities will be interpreted in the context of clinical and other laboratory test information submitted with the specimen.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test is not appropriate for carrier testing.
The initial screening test for congenital disorders of glycosylation is transferrin isoform analysis (CDG / Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin for Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation, Serum). The results of the transferrin isoform analysis should be correlated with the clinical presentation to determine the most appropriate testing strategy.

"Crafty cutting board"
By Steph
Comments: My husband remodeled our kitchen and when it was done, we had a small get together. My mom surprised us with a glass photo cutting board for us to have in our new kitchen. Its so creative and quite practical. I do not plan on using it so instead, I placed it against the wall.

Off-Campus Housing
Approximately half of College of the Atlantic students live off-campus. There are numerous houses in Bar Harbor and the surrounding Mount Desert Island towns that are owned by summer visitors. During the nine months of the school year the owners look for COA students to rent their properties. Often several students will rent an off-campus house together. The college operates a shuttle to and from town several times each evening so that students who live off-campus do not need a car to commute. Current students may request a list of available off-campus housing options by e-mailing Donna McFarland, Associate Director of Admission and Student Life.

Crash closes Ohio 99
I hope they're going to be alright, looks terrible
How about a few more photos of the crash? Great shot of one of the victims personal belongings. This paper has no heart. I know this girl and this coverage makes me sick.
Is that a Michigan license plate on the SUV?
Yes, the other article states they were transporting cars for a rental agency, or that they worked for an agency. Not that that would have anything to do with the accident.
I'm still trying to figure out why the Tahoe's tire marks look as if he went off the road and back on before the collision.
BigB if you read the artical the driver in front of the tahoe said he had to take evasive action to get out of the way of her car...those are probably from him.
YUP123, I read it. If those were the tire marks from the lead driver then the Pontiac wasn't in motion. How could the lead driver return to the road at the same point where the collision took place? Think about it, the lead car passes the Pontiac first but the Pontiac has to continue north before impacting the Tahoe. They are not from the lead car. The Tahoe started to take evasive action but returned to the road before impact, possibly as a result of losing control from the freezing rain that morning. It doesn't mean he was at fault, just an unusual observation. I hope they both recover soon.

Right to Know Introduction and the Law
New federal regulations require that all employees be trained on the new Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) label elements and new Safety Data Sheets.
As an employee of the State of Georgia, you have the right to know about hazardous chemicals in the workplace. This right is guaranteed under under Georgia's "Public Employee Hazardous Chemical Protection and Right to Know Act of 1988" (O.C.G.A. 45-22-2).
Along with your right to know, recent federal regulations now provide you the "right to understand" with an updated Hazard Communication Standard (HCS). This new standard makes it easier for you to understand labels on hazardous chemicals and information in safety data sheets.
This course, which now includes significant changes to chemical hazard communication, is required to be completed annually by all employees and will take about 30 minutes to complete.
The course is a linear series of slides designed to familiarize you with the basics of the Right to Know law. It is organized sequentially with some Knowledge Checks from time to time to check your knowledge. Navigation links for the module are in the upper right of the browser window just below the banner image.

Solar Space Satellite Will be Fueled Solely by the Sun's Rays!
For centuries sailors have used stars to navigate around the world. Now space-sailors might be able to use the stars to move through the universe — literally! Instead of cruising to Mars on a giant tank of oil, we could soon sail through space using just the energy from sunlight. The Planetary Society — a non-profit space exploration organization — just announced that in 2010 it will send a satellite dubbed LightSail-1 into space that will be propelled by solar sails. The mylar-winged vessel will carry not a drop of fuel (making it much lighter than contemporary space craft) and will be the first in a three part program that aims to prove that solar sailing is a viable technology
The LightSail-1 is a solar sail propelled satellite that will travel through space using only the energy contained within the sun's rays. To do this the craft features 4 triangle-shaped aluminized Mylar sails that are capable of capturing the momentum of light emitted by the sun. When the photons in these light rays hit the sails on the LightSail-1 they will transfer the momentum they carry to propel the craft into space, much like wind transfers momentum to the sails on a sailboat.
LightSail-1 will weigh about 11 pounds, and when its sails are opened they span 6 meters across. It consists of three small cubes – two cubes hold the sails and one that holds the controls and electronics. The solar sailing craft will stay pretty close to Earth, traveling only a few miles after being released 500 miles above the surface of the planet, but each consecutive mission will sail further into space.
Scientists think that the possibility of carrying a person on a LightSail craft is a long way off and will involve technology not yet developed — they estimate a human on board would necessitate sails about a mile wide — but the hope for the future is bright. The distance we can travel in space has always been limited by the ability of spacecraft to carry enough fuel, so a craft capable of moving using only the sun's rays could send space travel into a non-oil dependent future and open up the realm of deep space exploration.
The Planetary Society is hoping to hitch a ride into space on an already planned mission with a US or Russian spacecraft at the end of next year. Being a pretty light load, it seems like an easy carpool request.

[…] Solar sail satellites have been taking the top headlines this year, with devices such as Lightsail-1 grabbing much of the attention. However, NASA has just become the first agency to launch an experimental micro-satellite from a larger, solar powered satellite. The NanoSail-D was recently ejected from the Fast, Affordable, Science and Technology Satellite (FASTSAT) in order to show that NASA had the capability to deploy a small cubesat payload from an autonomous micro-satellite in space. NASA believes that this technology could eventually be used to clean up space debris. […]
