Recipe by THUMPER74137
"This potato soup has more flavor than any potato soup I have ever had. It is a bit salty due to the bouillon cubes but you can add more milk to dilute if you find it necessary. For less creamy and lower fat, use whole milk instead of half-and-half -- still tastes great!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

6 cups
diced potatoes
3 stalks
celery, diced
1 cup
chopped onion
3 (14.5 ounce) cans
chicken broth, divided
4 cups
half-and-half cream
6 tablespoons
butter, melted
6 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
4 cubes
chicken bouillon
1/2 teaspoon
ground black pepper
Absolutely delicious, the first time I made it exactly by the recipe and it was great. Now, I use skim milk instead of half and half, and puree about half of it when it's finished cooking to thicken it up. It's just as good to us.
Maybe I did something wrong, but I thought this was bland and boring. Also, the half & half made it too rich and kind of sickening. Gonna throw it out. Sorry, I really wanted to love it.

Incredible soup! My husband is a vegetarian, so I substituted vegetable stock (Wolfgang Puck brand) for the chicken broth and used vegetable bullion cubes. I actually ended up using 1 ½ 32 oz. boxes of the vegetable stock (48 oz. total), which is a bit more than the recipe calls for, and the soup still came out with a great creamy consistency – not too thick and not too thin. Some enhancements I made to the recipe in addition to making it veggie-friendly were to add an extra ¾ C. diced potatoes, 1 can of corn, 3 cloves garlic, some shredded carrot, & substituted a large leek for the onion, which were all great flavor compliments to the potato. I sautéed the celery, shredded carrot, pressed garlic, and the diced leek in a saucepan with some olive oil before adding it to the boiling potato / broth mixture, then followed the recipe from there, adding the canned corn at the end. I served the soup with a nice green salad and a French baguette. What a wonderful meal for a cozy night in with my family. Note: This would be AMAZING with some dungeness crab meat added - YUM!
It's cold & windy today, perfect for a delicous soup! I like carrots in my potato soup so I left out the celery. Used whole milk. Added lots of garlic. Only used 1 can of chicken broth & no bouillon (family doesn't care for salt very much). It's perfect!
This recipe was pretty good, but I found that it wasn't nearly as thick as I'd like. I think next time I won't add as much chicken broth and that should do the trick. I may also add a little more potato, but otherwise it was tasty and a good recipe to start with.
Great recipe. Great additions we used were, 1lb.bacon and more potatoes.
Great hearty meal!
I added Soy milk instead, because my wife can't have milk. It turned out Great, didn't notice any difference and added great body to the soup. Also added carrots from the garden.
We used 2 cans of chicken stock and 1 box of vegetable stock. We then cooked 2 chicken breasts on the bone in water with salt, pepper, parsley, tarragon, and some lowerys season salt. Boiled on med heat 30-45 mins, let cool and removed from liquid and cooled on plate. I strained out the cooked chicken broth and added broth from cooking potato/veg stock. Into this I added the melted butter and flower. And heated on med. While this heated I removed the skin and bone from chicken breast and set aside and I then shredded the the breast meat. I added the thickened stock into the main pot and added the shredded chicken. I let it on med low heat for 25 more mins. I then let this cool and put in in the fridge for lunch and perhaps supper the next day. It turned out great. I tasted a cup and it would be ready to serve hot or prepare ahead of time and serve later. I nice sour dough loaf or like bread would go well with this meal!
This recipe is great. It tastes like the real, homemade potato soup my Mother used to make. Simple, easy, delicious!

Alexis Reid
Jun 27 2011: My biggest issue with the high volume of content that I am exposed to is a distinct, increased level of distractability. I find it increasingly difficult to stay on one task, as I am constantly interrupted, and the high level of interconnectivity between EVERYTHING means that every encounter is a natural starting point or segue to the next thing. I can rarely read a full page article without opening 2-3 windows on related topics. Whereas I appreciate the way that it makes the world unfold, it is highly inefficient! Also, people want all their messages now in brief soundbytes. If I type a few paragraphs and send it to someone, 90% of the time, it will never be read. They are more likely to call me and ask for a synopsis.
- +4
Jun 27 2011: That's exactly what I find - increased distractibility due to connectivity and therefore I have a greater pile of "open tabs" waiting for my attention at the end of the day.Jun 27 2011: Alexis, I do not thing you are alone in this at all. One thing I would suggest is that you can often open a link in another tab... it is then behind the main article you are reading, and ready when you want it. I realize it is a small thing, but it does allow you to finish the task you were on without losing that new starting point.
As for getting people to actually read emails.. yeah, that is a big problem. I have started sending several smaller messages if I need to cover several topics and send large documents as attachments since the process of opening the attachment seems to prepare people to read a bit more. I hope that is helpful. I am glad to know I am not alone in these challenges.Jun 27 2011: Alexis--you're right, these constant interruptions mess with the natural rhythm of an activity.Jun 27 2011: Alexis, I strongly recommend reading "The Shallows: What the internet is doing to our brains" by Nicholas Carr. It has a lot of weight and impact to it. There are consequences to this emerging "lifestyle", and not all are good. Both breadth and depth are important, but depth is being sacrificed by many for extra breadth.
BTW, I have "Tab Fever" as well. If you find a cure, let me know :-)
Alexis Reid
Jun 27 2011: @Tony Cosgrove, I read an article on "The Shallows" shortly around the time that it came out! Never picked up the book, but it sounded poignant in regards to this emerging issue. I am 28, and have been slowly baptized into this tech era, but I wonder how the processing/filtering of the generations behind me will play out.
- +1
Emerging technology is also fascinating, I just learned last weekend how to use Google Docs to import and extract data from the web, as well as filter it. API is crazy, wonderful stuff going on in the background of everyday life. The other downside to the deluge of information is that everyone now wants YOUR information, and we have little understanding (as laypeople) of how that information is disseminated, collected, used, etc. If you perceive that your information is only one drop of water coming out of a hose, it doesn't seem that concerning, until you realize that people are collecting the water in buckets...Jun 27 2011: Alexis, I agree with you on both counts. There are so many interesting links, one leading to another, that it is hard to maintain the discipline to finish a given article without jumping around. Harder even is then keeping track of it all when I want to go back to something.Jun 27 2011: I got on Facebook to find an address and ended up at a TED Conversation. This is how it happens.
Anna Forsyth
Jun 27 2011: Hi everyone.
- +2
Something that helps for me is I have a three-tray system or three-label system in the case of emails and links:
To Action
To Read
First thing in the morning when I have my coffee, I allow myself a block of time for reading and "mucking around" where I can sift through all the stuff I am personally interested in keeping up to date with. Twitter is not so easy to do this with though so suggestions on this one are appreciated. One thing I do with Twitter though that does help is I have a separate account for my two major interests - Technology/Writing and then Music. This allows me to not only have that type of information in one feed but also the convos.
I work on research projects and I love information, so being distracted is also a huge issue for me as well. I find getting this big amount of reading out of my system before I crank into my projects really helps. Then I am free to focus my research process.
There is a great little BETA app called Scrible I am using at the moment, with a toolbar that allows me to annotate and highlight webpages and then save that version to an organised and tagged system. I recommend it for anyone who does web research regularly. Only thing is because it's BETA at the moment, there is not a lot of memory yet and I use it a lot!
Thanks for all the suggestions here, they are all helpful.
Vivian Matz
Jun 27 2011: I need to figure out how to teach time management to my high school students. Learning to prioritize is a great idea. Any thoughts about the teenage brain evolving to manage a bombardment of stimuli in a non-linear order? After experimenting with the Back Channel in the classroom, students told me that they can follow multiple threads of information coming at them at once, some are processed they say unconsciously. I understand what they mean. They seem able to rapidly shift back and forth picking up cues to what they have "missed" and know what is going on. I imagine it is like driving--if we processed stimuli in a logical sequential manner there would be accidents. Usually we process visual information holistically (hence the feeling that it is unconscious) taking in multiple cues at once. The brain miraculously knows which ones to respond to. Of course it is exhausting to drive and process tons of stimuli all the time. Hence the need for rest stops on the road and in life?
- +2
Jun 27 2011: That's really interesting. I'd never heard of Twitter being used as a back channel for the classroom, but it absolutely makes perfect sense. The reality is, the amount of information stimuli is growing exponentially so it really is a valuable skill (and thus one worth teaching) to be able to multi-task and actively multi-process.
And I like your point about 'rest', and I'd even add 'play' as being equally important. I'd be interested in hearing more about your own experiences with Twitter in the classroom. I came across this post about Monica Rankin and Kim Smith after reading your post - http://derekbruff.com/teachingwithcrs/?p=250
Rhett Torres
Jun 27 2011: One of the biggest problems is the expectation people now have of you to stay informed.
- +2
Before news was able to travel the world quickly, no one could be blamed for learning of the end of a war months after the fact. As more information became available at quicker speeds, people with access to the information appeared to have a certain edge over others.
Now, we have taken this to an extreme, where information is not just the news of the day, but also what our friends are having for breakfast. Each tweet is sent with a certain amount of expectation that most or all friends might have a peek.
When I began to turn myself off to twitter, I began to hear things like, "I tweeted that, didn't you read it?" and "I thought you knew about those changes, we tweeted them yesterday."
Where do we find the line between what we need to know and what we can delete when important information sneaks its way into the convoluted and superfluous ocean of junk tweets?
Otto Hilska
Jun 27 2011: I've been thinking about this issue a lot, since I actually founded a company to solve the problem: http://www.flowdock.com/

We aggregate everything that might be somehow relevant to a team's shared inbox. It might be tweets, emails, wiki edits, project management tool notifications ("someone added a feature request") or anything. That inbox is combined with the team's group chat, so the team can discuss any of the items in real time, and kind of show what's important. If something doesn't catch anyone's attention, it's usually ignored for good.
Such an intense use case also requires some way of tagging relevant pieces of content for later use. We use #hashtags for that purpose, so you're able to tag an email as a #feature request, or add a tweet to your own ToDo list. That way categorizing the stream of information is done by everyone in the team, and it's a very light-weight process.

Jun 27 2011: I can see this. Some organizations swim in data and still miss things that should be obvious. Our domestica nad global financial institutions come to mind. I suppose the real question is how does quantifying everything lead to behavior change?Jun 27 2011: Use different email addresses and tweet usernames according to the activities you follow.
Finally are you using RSS? One to many communication should never land in your inbox - only peer to peer.
Jun 27 2011: Love RSS, I think it's a great way to 'consume a lot but prioritize a little'.Jun 27 2011: Hi Jonathan, great subject, i personally think that everyone has in his mind his own architecture, but tacit architecture to organize all the data deludge, for instance, i make always links between people and events ... etc in my mind between all the entities or social networks, so i think it's like building database, by synchronizing different ones, to have one interesting social knowledge system ...Jun 27 2011: what if we were more visual...moving away from text, we would be able to have much more data-excess.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and a video is worth a thousand pictures, an animation or visual infographic go beyond that again giving more focus, so is the media we speak through extremely relevant?
Jun 27 2011: Yeah, like Chris says http://www.ted.com/talks/chris_anderson_how_web_video_powers_global_innovation.html
Jun 27 2011: Exactly, if we were to learn through text, it would take a 400page volume, learning through video is a 5min youtube clip, hence why this is so interesting.....
Although my friends and I did try to learn to C-walk a few years ago through youtube, and were not successful. :( !!!
Jun 27 2011: Right on, I learned this lesson fairly early on running a massive open source project. I t wasn't until I started making videos that anyone ever really 'got' what the project was and started participating.Jun 27 2011: James, I would assert that only well edited video is worth 1000 pictures. Countless online videos are unedited or edited poorly, and the wasted time is a frustration to many. What everyone is craving is economy of expression in the media they consume.
Also, I think it is critical for members of a successful society to balance their online/offline time. One example: We see many chained to their smartphones while in the midst of dinner with friends. This comes across to many as rude and unacceptable, yet many still feel they must respond to texts/tweets immediately.
I'm glad to see proactive conversations about information overload, such as this conversation.
Jun 27 2011: Totally agree. I was referring to the high end edited video's.
I would think the interface between the virtual world and the material used to be the computer, now is the smart phone and tomorrow will be almost invisible and seamless. The question will always remain 'how do we switch off and out?'Jun 27 2011: Hi Jonathan,
I use filters and different email addresses all ending up in my Gmail which sorts it out really well!
And as Birdia said I prioritize, instead of looking for info in crappy newspapers or random sites I go to TED and the links shared here since they are mostly really good.
And I've hid/deleted every spammer on Facebook!Jun 27 2011: I found keeping a time log helped me focus because I was very aware of what my priority was at that moment. It allowed me to ignore other things coming my way and focus on what was most important. I also set my email to only collect once an hour which means I do not get new message pings every 5 minutes. I also use Bruno's suggestion to use multiple emails. I have one for every major role: Exec Manager, Newsletter editor, Special Project Manager... that allows me to sort out the multiple hats I need to wear in a very small organization. Finally, stuff that is interesting or cool is printed to pdf and put in a folder that syncs with my iPod so I can read it when I have a few minutes waiting for an appointment. That obviously does not work for time sensitive stuff.
Jun 27 2011: I think I'd like to buy stock in you, Elizabeth--you're so organized!
Jun 27 2011: Thanks for your kind words. This is a day of dealing with loose ends, so they are particularly appreciated.

Gautam John
Jun 27 2011: The usual answer to this is filters but I don't really trust most external filters to prioritise stuff the way I want them to be. What I have found works is a GTD type workflow so that initial processing can be quick but that it doesn't fall off the map either.
- +1
Jun 27 2011: Would having control over what those filters do help you out, Gautam?
Jun 27 2011: I tried GTD software and found it did not work well with my work flow because a lot of my work is cyclical and I could not set up a template for reoccurring tasks. I really want to be able to set up projects with tasks and then assign an email to that project, then when it is time to work on it have the system alert me. Something like: Board meeting in 1 week... a link to the folder where my messages are stored, and all the emails that are part of that task would be there because I assigned them to that project when they were received. Regular folders are a bit too "out of sight out of mind" for me so I commit the GTD sin of having a very cluttered in box.Jun 27 2011: Last night at Dinner, a friend of mine was explaining how Twitter and Facebook 'overwhelm' her if she isn't using them all the time. Her approach was, I'm following all these people, and so I need to know everything they are saying. I can absolutely how thinking about things in that way would be overwhelming.
My perspective is different. I follow as many people as I possibly can on Twitter, I add every blog I stumble across to my Google Reader interface, I have about 15 different business related emails all feeding into one gmail account. All of it because I love an excess of data! However, the key to not being overwhelmed is to trust my own ability to configure smart filters that help sort this information on the fly.
In Google Reader I've created categories like 'Design' 'Tech' 'Education' etc. for the blog verticals, then I use search and 'Sort by Magic' to help surface content that I didn't know I was looking for.
Jun 27 2011: I think it is important to get clear on our relationship to information. Just because a tweet or blog entry is there does not mean we do not HAVE to read it. We do not HAVE to answer a ringing phone if we are busy, or answer our door to a sales person. I try (note the word try) to become aware of a piece of information, decide if I need it or not, and if not, let it go. If it is important it will surface again, and if I want it it is probably searchable on the web. I have found myself waiting at my computer before like I was waiting for it to tell me what to react to next, and that is the wrong way 'round.
Jun 27 2011: Absolutely! Great answer, couldn't vote you up more!Jun 27 2011: you nailed it, Elizabeth! Great answer.Jun 27 2011: I let websites like reddit do the sorting out for me.Jun 27 2011: I compartmentalize my intake. Using filters, labels, and multiple calendars in the Gmail and Google Calendar services I have created a system so that the important interactions of the day are the only thing that hit my main inbox. I can finish my email in an hour every morning, and then reply only to active conversations. Then once a week I handle departmental labels like accounting, marketing, etc...
I also have followup rules, and put the follow up in time using the calendar. With the calendar I use color coding with a calendar for each department so that it is useful at a glance.Jun 27 2011: Hey Jon, I just started using netvibes to aggregate the information I seek. Its very intuitive, creates widgets easily and I can have all my info there waiting for me.
Jun 27 2011: I find NetVibes a little heavy on the browser, however it's a great tool and gets the job done.Jun 27 2011: Just wait a few years, IBM will have figured out how to fit Watson into your pocket (with Facebook/Twitter Integration) :P
In the meantime, I would be interested to see a higher level application that could accept Social Networking inputs, format them on the back-end and provide a very open API to developers to develop methods of working with the data.
We've seen interesting things that are possible: word clouds, link parsers to pull news/pictures out of Twitter feeds, automatic translation between languages. But never in one interface, mostly because nobody has ever created one... similar to how we saw all kinds of cool widgets for cellphones until Apple/Google created the underlying OS and made it accessible for everybody. I think we need something similar for the social side of things.
Jun 27 2011: James have you herd of the following companies: DataSift.com, AboutEcho.com, or Swiftly.org? I only ask because all three do just what you've described with real-time content. In full disclosure, the last one (Swiftly) is one of my projects.

Jun 27 2011: You're such a cheater Jonathan, changing the time limit all the time! ;P
Jun 27 2011: Haha, I didn't change it TED's staff did!Jun 27 2011: Do you all think there's a place for better filters in specific industries? For example Health Care, Finance, Government...they all have massive amounts of information, yet they continue to make what some would say are the 'same mistakes'. Is this a data problem or a human problem?Jun 27 2011: My solution lies in interacting with data rather than just consuming it. I also subscribe to every feed I can, and query these selected feeds (numbering over 500 at this point) helps me get to the more correct, better quality answer. I don't worry about missing feeds/tweets/posts knowing that I will eventually get to the required info when I need it.
Jun 27 2011: Exactly - Any information you might have missed will likely be archived anyway, so you needn't stress about seeing it at the time.
Jun 27 2011: Yes, this is where search becomes really useful. Not necessarily looking for stuff you know is there, but for sifting through the stuff that you *don't* know is there.Jun 27 2011: What feedreader or app are you using Alexander? I use Google Reader
Jun 27 2011: I like Feedly because it pulls all my GoogReader feeds, as well as my Twitter and FB accts. I subscribe using Google, then consume/search in Feedly.
Its a great app and they *finally* released an iPad version recently which works quite well.
Jun 27 2011: Awesome! I use Flipboard in a similar way on iPad and Google Reader for the desktop. I don't pull all of my tweets into Reader but then again, I'm only on Twitter to catch what I can when I need to, the other content I can casually ignore.Jun 27 2011: With so much information out there, how do you research or find out about the best sources of information related to your interests? I know there are aggregator sites but how do you even find those if you really want to spend less time on searches and more time consuming the best content?
Jun 27 2011: Never under estimate the value of asking your local librarian to find information for you. It is their job, they love to do it, and they are good at it, especially if you are not sure what sources to trust. Raised by a librarian, I know my mom will not rest until a reference question is answered, even in retirement.Jun 27 2011: Creating mobile occasions that extend brand experiences and actively involve people requires a non-intrusive almost intuitive system of data extraction and use.Jun 27 2011: Separate e-mail accounts for work and play (with my play account acting as a filter for notifications from social sites), two different Twitter accounts (work and play), actually, pretty much two different accounts for work and play on every site. I get far more messages for play than I do for work, so I feel free to ignore it till I have time in the evening or weekend.
After all, it's just play, right? I can choose to participate or not.
But the real problem is remembering to clear out my inbox after the related situation is resolved.

Soft, itch-free, warm and dry all day
Casual socks? Let's just say not every day is spent with heavy work boots on. In the office, or meeting with the Suits at the bank, you might want exactly the same Merino warmth and comfort in a sock with less bulk and a more versatile, all-around look. This is it – businesslike outside, yet they feel like a party inside. Fully cushioned sole is comfortable enough for all day on your feet if needed. Merino wool's longer, silkier fibers are softer, more itch-free than other wool, plus naturally breathable and wick moisture away from feet to help regulate temperature. You might find yourself wearing 'em every day!

Winter in Wyoming goes on forever, and so warm socks are a must. I saw these on sale with free shipping and thought I would try them. They are very soft and comfy, but the larges feel like they are at least a size bigger. The indention for the heel is halfway up my achilles tendon! I wear a size 11 shoe and these should fit just right, but unfortunately don't. It's kind of a big deal as the material bunches up at the back of my leg. If I wore these with 10" boots, it would be uncomfortable.

Cartoon Lagoon brings back the oldies...
With a lot of fun!
Here's a press release we received concerning the Cartoon Lagoon TV Series DVD release on Amazon....
Now on DVD -- Makes a Great Stocking Stuffer Packed with Fun
New York, NY – (December 12, 2012) Cartoon Lagoon Studios announce the Amazon DVD release of their Award-winning TV show, Captain Cornelius' Cartoon Lagoon. Celebrated by Amazon Studios with the "Audience Award" at the 2012 New York Television Festival, the studios' first two public screenings completely sold out to laughing crowds.
Captain Cornelius' Cartoon Lagoon recaptures the magic of Saturday morning cartoons: a time when all our friends were eating a bowl of cereal and in front of the TV at the same time. Watching everything we loved in that one block of time may have lost meaning today, but Captain Cornelius' Cartoon Lagoon brings back a new level of appreciation to cartoons that have long been forgotten and the DVD makes a perfect stocking stuffer this holiday season.
An innovative and original show created by the industry's top creators for children's cartoons, commercials and cable television programming, the show features some noteworthy talent from: Nickelodeon, Nick Jr, The Disney Channel, The Jim Henson Company, Marvel Comics, Archie Comics, WB Animation, MTV and Spike TV.
Executive Produced by Manny Galan and Pat Giles, veteran creators behind numerous animated productions, Captain Cornelius' Cartoon Lagoon, is a magical animated/puppet adventure about WET WILLY JONES and AXEL RODD McGEE, on their undersea quest aboard the MANTA RAY, a cartoon-retrieving vessel commanded by CAPTAIN CORNELIUS CARTOON. This show plumbs the depths of CARTOON LAGOON in search of the best and the worst cartoons ever made.
Written with both kids and adults in mind, all audiences should enjoy the tongue in cheek, rapid-fire pop culture shenanigans of the undersea crew, as they go fishing for old cartoons at the bottom of Cartoon Lagoon. Captain Cornelius, the wise old Skipper, doles out awful advice to the depressed and morose Axel Rodd McGee, who hated that he is getting older on his birthday. They yank old cartoons from obscurity and "riff" over them as they watch from the submarine's "theatre," in an effort to make Axel feel better about life.
Not a typical kids show, Cartoon Lagoon is irreverent along the lines of a MAD Magazine parody, and has a lot of jokes aimed directly at adults. "We aimed to make ourselves laugh first," says Galán, who created the show, "some of the jokes were unavoidable. We were making fun of old cartoons, and those cartoons had some pretty bizarre moments in them." Kids will enjoy the basic ridiculousness of the puppet sequences and the classic cartoons, while adults will enjoy the subtle innuendos and pop culture references.
Captain Cornelius is voiced by voiceover legend Chris Phillips ('Face' on Nick Jr, Felix the Cat: The Movie, Ice Age, Team Umizoomi, Disney's Doug and in is the voice of every Network on-air promo, ever, it seems). Others are: Director Euralis Weekes (MTV/NICK veteran), head writer Steve Borst (MAD, Teen Titans, GO! and Breadwinners), puppeteers Michael Schupbach (creator of Johnny and the Sprites), Noel MacNeal (Bear of "Bear in the Big Blue House,) and Frankie Cordero (Avenue Q).
Packed with fun, good memories and laughter, the DVD features include:
Episode One (32 minutes), a 90-minute bonus show, "Captain Cornelius Cartoon's Cartoon All-Star Revue," skits, classic cartoons, new cartoons ( Superjail Director Mike Carlo's animated short President of the Universe and Gabe Swarr's Life in the Analog Age shorts), musical guests, The Gregory Brothers, and special guest star interview, Butch Hartman (creator of Fairly OddParents).
Available at: Amazon.com
Price: $12.99
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Animation
Running Time: 120 minutes
Format: Color, NTSC, Special Limited Edition, Full length, Widescreen
Audio Format: Stereo
The DVD highlights classic cartoons of Casper, Popeye, Woody Woodpecker and Gumby, Captain Nemo, and Superman, along with brand new adventures starring the crew of The Manta Ray.

Interpretive Handbook
8376 :
Cystinuria Profile, Quantitative, 24 Hour, Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Cystinuria is an inborn error of metabolism resulting from poor absorption and reabsorption of the amino acid cystine in the intestine and in the kidney. This leads to an accumulation of poorly soluble cystine in the urine and results in the production of kidney stones (urolithiasis). Symptoms may include acute episodes of abdominal or lower back pain, presence of blood in the urine (hematuria), and recurrent episodes of kidney stones may result in frequent urinary tract infections, which may ultimately result in renal insufficiency. The combined incidence of cystinuria has been estimated to be 1 in 7,000.
Cystinuria can be classified into 3 subtypes based on the excretion of amino acids in the urine of heterozygotes (parents or children of affected individuals). Heterozygotes of type I excrete normal amounts of cystine, while those with types II and III present with slight to moderate excretion of cystine and other amino acids (lysine, arginine, and ornithine). All 3 subtypes are caused by mutations in only 2 genes, SLC3A1 on chromosome 2p and SLC7A9 on chromosome 19q. A new classification system has been proposed to distinguish the various forms of cystinuria: type A, due to mutations in the SLC3A1 gene; type B, due to mutations in the SLC7A9 gene; and type AB, due to 1 mutation in each SLC3A1 and SLC7A9.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of cystinuria
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Homozygotes or compound heterozygotes with cystinuria excrete large amounts of cystine in urine, but the amount varies markedly. Urinary excretion of other dibasic amino acids (arginine, lysine, and ornithine) are also typically elevated. Plasma concentrations are generally normal or slightly decreased.
Individuals who are homozygous and heterozygous for non-type I cystinuria can be distinguished by the pattern of urinary amino acids excretion: the former secretes large amounts of cystine and all 3 dibasic amino acids, whereas the latter secretes more lysine and cystine than arginine and ornithine.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
No significant cautionary statements.
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.

The time is the too-near future. Powered and enabled by the invention known as the Great Machine, the world's machines have turned on mankind and sparked social unrest, decimating the human population before being largely shut down.

One of these creations, 9, emerges to display leadership qualities that may help them survive and possibly even thrive. It is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like himself taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they'll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them.

Obama on Koch: 'extraordinary mayor, irrepressible character'
President Obama said he and first lady Michelle Obama send their thoughts and prayers to the loved ones of former New York City mayor Ed Koch "and to the city that survives him."
"Ed Koch was an extraordinary mayor, irrepressible character, and quintessential New Yorker," Obama said in a statement Friday. "He took office at a time when New York was in fiscal crisis, and helped his city achieve economic renewal, expand affordable housing, and extend opportunity to more of its people.
"In public office and beyond, his energy, force of personality, and commitment to causes ranging from civic issues to the security of the state of Israel always informed and enlivened the public discourse. Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to Ed's loved ones, and to the city that survives him."
Koch died Friday at the age of 88.

ETSU women's basketball struggles in 77-65 loss at Elon
Monday, February 23, 2004Elon, N.C. (Feb. 23, 2004) -- Highlights were few and far between for the East Tennnessee State women's basketball team Monday night, as the the Lady Bucs' five-game conference winning streak came to a streaking halt. ETSU, which falls to 13-12 overall and 13-6 in the Southern Conference, was defeated 77-65 by Elon from Alumni Gym in Elon, N.C. The Phoenix (16-10, 12-7), who shot just under 50 percent for the game outscored ETSU 42-26 in the paint. Elon center Courtney Nyborg played only 20 minutes due to foul trouble but led her team in scoring with 18 points on 8-of-10 shooting from the floor, in addition to eight rebounds. The Lady Bucs trailed 31-23 at halftime. They shot 39.1 percent as a team and sent Elon to the free throw line a combined 29 times. The Phoenix capitalized by sinking 23 of their foul shots. Tiffany Mayes (Sumter, S.C.) again pitched in a oouragous performance with 16 points, eight rebounds, three steals, and one blocked shot. Kiya Verdell (Hartwell, Ga.) added 13 points, but struggled with her shot, connecting on just 4-of-18 attempts from the field, including 1-of-7 from beyond the arc. Verdell fouled out late in the second half as did B.J. Banjo (Baltimore, Md.). Banjo finished with nine points and four steals. ETSU will conclude the 2003-04 regular season on Saturday, Feb. 28 at Georgia Southern. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Hanner Fieldhouse in Statesboro, Ga. The 2004 Southern Conference Women's Basketball Championships will be played in Charleston, S.C. March 3-6.
