Methadone Confirmation, Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Methadone (Dolophine) is a synthetic opioid, a compound that is structurally unrelated to the natural opiates but is capable of binding to opioid receptors. These receptor interactions create many of the same effects seen with natural opiates, including analgesia and sedation. However, methadone does not produce feelings of euphoria and has substantially fewer withdrawal symptoms than opiates such as heroin.(1) Methadone is used clinically to relieve pain, to treat opioid abstinence syndrome, and to treat heroin addiction in the attempt to wean patients from illicit drug use.
Metabolism of methadone to inactive forms is the main form of elimination. Oral delivery of methadone makes it subject to first-pass metabolism by the liver and creates interindividual variability in its bioavailability, which ranges from 80% to 95%. The most important enzymes in methadone metabolism are CYP3A4 and CYP2B6.(1-4) CYP2D6 appears to have a minor role, and CYP1A2 may possibly be involved.(1-5) Methadone is metabolized to a variety of metabolites, the primary metabolite is 2-ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl1-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine (EDDP).(1-4) The efficiency of this process is prone to wide inter- and intraindividual variability, due both to inherent differences in enzymatic activity as well as enzyme induction or inhibition by numerous drugs. Excretion of methadone and its metabolites (including EDDP) occurs primarily through the kidneys.(1,4)
Patients who are taking methadone for therapeutic purposes excrete both parent methadone and EDDP in their urine. Clinically, it is important to measure levels of both methadone and EDDP. Methadone levels in urine vary widely depending on factors such as dose, metabolism, and urine pH.(5) EDDP levels, in contrast, are relatively unaffected by the influence of pH and are, therefore, preferable for assessing compliance with therapy.(5)
Some patients undergoing treatment with methadone have attempted to pass compliance testing by adding a portion of the supplied methadone to the urine.(7) This is commonly referred to as "spiking.'' In these situations the specimen will contain large amounts of methadone and no or very small amounts of EDDP.(7) The absence of EDDP in the presence of methadone in urine strongly suggests adulteration of the urine specimen by direct addition of methadone to the specimen.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Monitoring of methadone treatment for analgesia or drug rehabilitation
Urine measurement of 2-ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl1-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine is particularly useful for assessing compliance with rehabilitation programs.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The absolute concentration of methadone and its metabolites found in patient urine specimen can be highly variable and do not correlate with dose. However, the medical literature and our experience show that patients who are known to be compliant with their methadone therapy have ratios of 2-ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl1-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine (EDDP):methadone of >0.60.(6)
An EDDP:methadone ratio <0.090 strongly suggests manipulation of the urine specimen by direct addition of methadone to the specimen.(7)
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Urine pH has a considerable effect on the ability to detect methadone, thus 2-ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl1-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine is preferable for urine measurements.
Urine concentrations of methadone show very poor correlation to serum levels or the amount of drug administered.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate.

Single-Layer Microfluidic Gain Valves via Optofluidic Lithography [BPN706]This project aims to create single-layer microfluidic gain valves for use in microfluidic devices. Autonomous microfluidic devices are essential for the long-term development of versatile biological and chemical platforms; however, the challenges of creating effective control mechanisms ľ e.g., the need for variable pressure sources, signal degradation in cascaded devices, and multi-stage manufacture methods ľ have proven considerable. Using in situ optofluidic lithography, we develop a single-layer pressure-based valve system with a static gain greater than unity. We will demonstrate the device in several microfluidic circuits, including logic gates and amplifiers. These pressure gain-based systems will enable microfluidic devices with a wide range of applications, such as flow rectifiers, oscillators, and high-precision pressure measurements. Due to ease of manufacture and design flexibility, this valve design could have widespread Lab-on-a-Chip applications by enabling self-regulation of microfluidic devices.

Anti-abortion rights groups are calling for the closure of a controversial Germantown abortion clinic after a woman was taken to a hospital from the clinic Tuesday, and renewed their calls for the revocation of the medical license of a physician who works there.
"The myth that somehow abortion is safe has been shattered," said the Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition of Washington, D.C., at a news conference Thursday across the street from the clinic.
Andrew Glenn, regional director of Maryland Coalition for Life, said his group and others continue to ask the Maryland Board of Physicians to suspend the license of Leroy Carhart, the Nebraska physician who also operates at the Germantown Reproductive Health Services clinic.
The state board could not be reached for comment Thursday.
The clinic, on Executive Park Terrace, was the subject of controversy after the Feb. 7 death of Jennifer Morbelli, 29, after a procedure there.
The medical examiner's office determined that Morbelli died of natural causes from injuries sustained during her procedure.
Thursday's news conference came after a woman was taken by ambulance from the clinic to Shady Grove Adventist Hospital in Rockville on Tuesday afternoon.
Mahoney said several anti-abortion rights activists saw the woman enter the clinic Monday and stay for several hours, then return for several hours before leaving with Carhart by ambulance at about 3:30 p.m.
He said Thursday he didn't have any information about the status of the unidentified woman or why the ambulance was called. Because Carhart accompanied the woman, Mahoney said, he was led to believe an abortion procedure was involved.
Carhart did not return a phone call seeking comment Thursday.
Scott Graham, assistant fire chief for Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services, confirmed that an ambulance was called to the clinic Tuesday afternoon for a medical emergency, but said he couldn't reveal any other information about the nature of the call.
Grace Morrison, one of the volunteers who often stand near the clinic and try to talk to women as they enter, said she approached the woman as she was going into the clinic Monday and tried to explain the risks and possible consequences of abortion.
"She looked at me, but she did not respond," Morrison said.
Organizers at Thursday's news conference handed out copies of a March 26 letter to the Germantown clinic from the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene listing eight deficiencies noted during a February inspection of the facility and requiring a written plan for how the clinic planned to address the problems.
The packet also included the clinic's response, but not a May 7 letter from the state health agency reporting that it had reviewed and accepted the clinic's plan to fix the problems found during the inspection.
Glenn said he wondered how the state could allow a facility to remain open when deficiencies had been found.
Mahoney said his group and other anti-abortion groups will focus on organizing events in Annapolis in the coming weeks to highlight the dangers of facilities such as the one in Germantown.
"This is a disgrace for the state of Maryland," he said.

Aggressively marketed as important for health and hydration, a mind-boggling array of packaged beverages vie for our attention in the marketplace: sports drinks, energy drinks, fitness waters, vitamin waters—even "designer waters." That's not even counting the dozens of varieties of plain bottled water.
To see and hear the advertisements you'd think that before bottled beverages, human beings were unable to manage their thirst or replace the "electrolytes" lost through everyday living.
For sure, water makes up as much as 65 percent of adult body weight. It's essential for most bodily functions, so staying well hydrated is essential to good health.
But what's in that bottle besides water?
Many of these supposedly health-promoting drinks have come under scrutiny and even attack by public health advocates.
Experts have concerns about the long-term health effects of many of today's "enhanced waters" and "energy" drinks, especially on children, teens, young adults, and people with or at risk for chronic health conditions such as diabetes and obesity.
Here are a few reasons why:
- The average American adult drinks about 400 calories a day, mostly from sugary sodas, sweetened teas, sports and energy drinks, juice drinks, and alcohol. Those calories add up. Drinking 400 calories of sugary beverages each day can pack on more than a pound's worth of calories (3500) every nine days--more than 40 pounds a year.
- "Energy" drinks can simultaneously contribute to obesity and poor nutrition. Drinking high-calorie beverages doesn't give you the sense of fullness that solid food does, so you keep sipping those empty calories.
- Many also contain a big jolt of caffeine and other stimulants, which may be harmful and even addictive to children, teens, and some adults.
- Other energy drinks contain vitamins, amino acids, and unregulated herbs in ratios, amounts, combinations, and forms that may be harmful.
- Many bottled drinks may cause irreversible damage to teeth, because the high acidity levels of energy drinks erode tooth enamel.
Health experts suggest drinking plain tap water to stay hydrated throughout the day, even during and after exercise. Carried in a refillable water bottle, it's convenient, no-cost, and calorie-free. I find a squirt of lemon or lime and a few ice cubes makes it seem more special.
A diet of healthy meals and snacks each day offers all the calories, vitamins, and "electrolytes" you need to replace what you ordinarily lose.
Exceptions include hours-long periods of hard physical work or intense exercise, and cases of extreme diarrhea and vomiting. In such instances, try this cheap, homemade rehydration drink.
The costs
According to one report, Americans spend $21 billion a year on bottled water, as compared with only $29 billion maintaining the infrastructure of our public water system. Some critics of bottled water think this pits private drinking habits against maintaining municipal water supplies.
Closer to home, the various bottled waters at my local supermarket range from less than a buck a bottle for plain bottled water to $6.00 for a can of a high-end energy drink. My frugal household long ago switched to drinking tap water, along with home-brewed coffee and various teas.
Hot-topic related costs, important but too complex for this blog post, include the steep energy and environmental costs of bottling water, and the social and economic impacts of turning water into a private commodity for sale and profit.

The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) worked closely with the Town of Londonderry and the EPA New England Brownfields Team to coordinate site assessments under the Targeted Brownfields Assessment (TBA) and Assessment Demonstration Pilot (ADP) Programs to successfully redevelop the property at 6 Perimeter Road on the Manchester / Grenier Industrial Air Park. EPA conducted a TBA at the site to characterize the scope of contamination, locate underground storage tanks, make recommendations for remediation activities, and provide a cost estimate for those recommendations. NHDES used funds from the ADP program to conduct a site investigation and to develop a remedial action plan based on the recommendations. The Town of Londonderry assumed the costs of the remediation. This is a great example of cooperation between local, state, and federal government agencies.
In the 1940's, the site, now occupied by Enterprise, was developed to provide housing for military personnel. In 1967 the Londonderry Housing Authority acquired the 5-acre site property from the Air Force, which it later sold to a private party in 1971. The site subsequently housed several light industries, including a company making garage doors and a moving van and storage company. Most recently, Lamont Labs, Inc., a company which formulated, packaged, and stored finished chemical products such as windshield washer fluid and pool maintenance chemicals occupied the site.
Open for business in 1983, operations ceased in 1992 and the property was abandoned. The company declared bankruptcy in 1994 following a fire which destroyed a section of an unoccupied building. From September 1994 to May of 1995, EPA conducted an emergency removal action to segregate and remove thousands of containerized chemicals (products and raw materials) and UST residuals (except fuel oil.) The Town of Londonderry acquired the property in May 1997 by tax foreclosure. In August of 1997 EPA conducted a $50,000 TBA. It was estimated that it would cost $146,500 to remove six remaining storage tanks and contaminated soils, conduct asbestos abatement, and obtain a groundwater management permit. NHDES received a $200,000 award under the EPA Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilot Program and used a portion of it to conduct further assessments to develop a remedial action plan. The remediation activities were implemented using town funds. The total cost off investigation, removal, and remediation activities conducted in this cross-agency effort totaled approximately $756,000.
The results of the TBA and the ADP proved a powerful tool to generate interest in redevelopment as part of the overall Manchester Airport Development Authority expansion project. In 2000, Londonderry Housing and Redevelopment Authority acquired the property. It is currently under purchase / lease agreement with the Enterprise Northeast Distribution Center. Automobiles rented through Enterprise in New England are brought first to the Londonderry distribution center, registered to the town, and then sent to the satellite centers. This allows Londonderry to collect additional revenue through the vehicle registration fees.

A Calvert County corrections officer has been suspended without pay and arrested on human trafficking and prostitution charges after officers from the sheriff's office discovered he allegedly had been soliciting sex from former female inmates he originally made contact with at the detention center, according to the sheriff's office.
Jonathan Len Poland, 44, of Lusby was arrested Sunday at his home for three counts of human trafficking and five counts of prostitution after allegedly contacting former female inmates of the Calvert County Detention Center in Barstow and paying them for sex. Poland was released on his personal recognizance, according to the sheriff's office.
The 10-year veteran of the detention center, a division of the Calvert County Sheriff's Office, was suspended from employment Dec. 12 when investigators found several pieces of evidence confirming the allegations during a search and seizure of Poland's home. Poland allegedly confessed to paying several women for sex, and he met the women while working as a correctional officer at the Calvert County Detention Center, according to charging documents.
The sheriff's office learned of the allegations through a complaint that Poland was involved in sexual misconduct with female inmates. Poland was excluded from guarding the women's cell block due to inappropriate behavior while at the Calvert County Detention Center, according to charging documents.
Detective Mudd of the Calvert County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Bureau and a team of investigators began downloading electronic messages, including text and Facebook messages, on Dec. 13, charging documents state. Mudd reportedly found numerous conversations between Poland and several females, most of whom were former female inmates of the detention center when Poland was employed there, or acquaintances of female inmates. There was a common theme of sex for money throughout the majority of the conversations, according to charging documents.
Charging documents consist of follow-up interviews that were conducted and conversations that were extracted electronically to and from Poland with 10 women, some of whom were former inmates at the detention center. Several of the women interviewed admitted Poland had paid them money in exchange for sex on several different occasions. The majority of the women interviewed said they took Poland up on his offers so they could support their drug habits. Poland allegedly paid the women between $100 and $600 for sexual acts, according to charging documents.
The women mentioned in the charging documents range in ages from 21 to 33 and span four counties: Calvert, St. Mary's, Charles and Anne Arundel. The conversations date back to 2011, but Poland also references another incident with a woman in 2010 in the charging documents. Sheriff's office Capt. Steve Jones said there is no information at this time whether there have been more incidents within Poland's 10-year career at the detention center, but the investigation is ongoing.
Sheriff Mike Evans (R) said Tuesday, "The bottom line is making sure we prosecute individuals who break laws. … We expect more from employees of the sheriff's office, and we hold them to a higher standard."
In a statement released from the sheriff's office Monday, Evans said, "Correctional Officers are law enforcement employees that the citizens of Calvert County entrust to keep them safe from the criminal element in society. The employees of the Calvert County Sheriff's Office and Detention Center are held to an extremely high level of professionalism. Unethical behavior by our employees will not be tolerated. Our employees are and will continue to be held liable for their actions. The employee breaks the law, he or she will be treated as any other violator of the law would be. They will be given a fair trial and will be terminated if need be."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Here's what I've been up to the past couple months with this multi-tank stand (MTS... haha).
Up top is a 20L grow-out tank of sorts for an Anubias coffeefolia and a couple Java Fern rhizomes I had left over. What we got here is inert substrate, 60W equivalent LED in a shop lamp light, HOB... a quick-and-dirty tank setup to get momentum built back up on this project. Right now it has 11 neon tetras, but it previously held my 6 Torquoise Rainbowfish for quarantine. This tank won't stay in this setup for much longer.
Check out the little Java Fern plantlets growing on the roots off of this rhizome... this is the only one I've seen this happen with.
You'll notice that I have Peace Lilies sprouting out of the tops of both these tanks. That's an experiment I started about a month ago with the suction cup planters I got from Riparium Supply. So far so good. There's new leaf growth and I see the roots growing/working their way through the media. These plants represent 1/2 of the plants I thinned out of a Peace Lilly pot I bought for $8.99 or something from one of the big home improvement stores. I plan to supplement with more planters made with similar-looking clear acrylic suction shower things I found at Meijer in the bathroom section. They're big and are shaped like a fat slice of pie to fit into the corner. I'll have to get some more plant species to try out with this. (I should document this and share if I remember.)
My intention is to have more riparium plants in the top tank to add to the height. I'm going for the most use of the vertical space.
On the bottom we have another 20L with dirt and a Flourite Black gravel cap (kinda silly, but I had the Flourite already). Sponge filter, 50W heater, and two 60W equivalent LED bulbs in some reconfigured spotlight fixtures. I'm not happy with how the bulbs stick out of the fixtures... I don't think I used the appropriate bulb size.
The dirt on the bottom is Miracle Grow Organic Choice Garden Soil (never again... too much wood) with a little less than a pound of Amaco Mexican Red Clay broken into little balls and mixed in somewhat. Tannins leaching were way higher than I expected... needed 2x 50% water changes each week or more to keep up with tannins for the first ~6 weeks and I have reduced to weekly changes. Using RO water at 6 degrees of hardness with Equilibrium, and weekly doses of 2mL Seachem Flourish for micro-nutrients.
I planted relatively heavily in the beginning. I got most of my plants for the bottom tank from Dustin at Aquatic Jungles out of appreciation for his prolific YouTube videos; they include an unidentified Sword, Jungle Vals, Dwarf Sag., Anubias (barteri?), rotala, and some Water Sprite or something that didn't make it. The Jungle Vals are all rotting off at the substrate level and floating away, and I don't know why. I added from my LFS a bunch of crypts that completely melted and are sheepishly growing back, plus a clump of Myriophyllum mattogrossense that melted but is regrowing from the tips of the stems. These last two plant species look like hell, but I'm going to give them their time.
My plants from Aquatic Jungles arrived just before I went on a week vacation back in August. So, I let them float in the top tank because the bottom one didn't even have water in it. While they were floating around up there with the Turquoise Rainbows, the 'bows must have gotten frisky and scattered an egg or two that I must have transferred to the bottom tank. About two weeks ago I found a tiny fry wiggling around while I was removing plant debris and wood bits during a water change. He must be chowing down on all the wee beasties in the newly-dirted tank.
My next steps are to move that top tank somewhere else, move the bottom tank up top, and rebuild one of my 29 gallon tanks to sit down in the bottom spot (notice the gap between the tanks that ought to reduce with the taller 29 tank). I got a submersible sump pump and built some overflow plumbing to tie the tanks together with a hidden 10 gallon tank behind the stand as a sump. The overflow system worked great in my tests, but I'm not ready to tie the tanks together quite yet. I'll put off showing the plumbing for another post.
|I updated the original post with a fresh picture showing all the vertical members and diagonal bracing I added in the top back corners for some vastly improved racking strength.
In my "epic" project which is almost, finally over I have a cabinet that's 54" wide. Plywood is 48" Grain has to, absolutely must, run top to bottom. It hurt to have that much waste but I hopefully will find another project to use it up. There are some things that I am OCD about. Doing it right is one of them
Then I go look at my 1/2" veneer plywood and notice two things. First, the veneer thickness is ~1/32" to 1/64" thick (Google agrees) and the three plys inside are ~1/6" thick each. Second, the grain of the outermost inside plys is perpendicular to the veneer grain. It is likely that these plys contribute more to the composite strength than the veneer. In that case, the strong direction is likely to be perpendicular to the orientation of the veneer. If so, this is dumb luck on my part because I payed zero attention to grain.
This is neat stuff. Unfortunately, the text Indychus linked earlier doesn't get into the plys or the distinction between industrial plywood and hardwood veneer. I'm sure somebody has written something. I'm not sure anybody else on this forum cares about learning more.
However, for conventional furniture making, you're right that my veneer grain is in the wrong direction. Yes, it is unattractive. Call me silly, but I don't care. This is not my nice stand, just my cabin fever project. My grandchildren are definitely not inheriting it. This is proof of concept for me. I hope this attitude doesn't offend you too much.
I need to get some water in this baby and turn everybody's attention away from my shoddy carpentry. Maybe I should take pictures of the first cabinet I built to convince you I'm not a hack. haha!
Only thing that bothered me was the grain direction in all honesty. But I won't see it from my house.
Not shown in the original pics are the last couple jack studs that vertically support the frames under the tanks. Also, I'm gusseting (plywood triangles in the corners) the back of the stand for strength against racking in that plane. This is the only weakness that is preventing me from setting it up and getting some water flowing.
I don't have access to the tools to do better jointery right now. I just wanted to make something that was good enough and to show how most folks can get by with a few simple tools. Well... how to make something a little nicer looking than the utilitarian concrete block and framing lumber stand. (I'm not hating)
Your materials with a 1x4 skeleton behind 1/2" ply is really more not less material.
And I do remember before my skills were where they are now building skeleton cabinets. In fact last year I took apart a solid wood cabinet I built 27 years ago. (solid wood not skeleton) I couldn't believe the sloppiness of the joints and the poor design. Now I build high end stuff as a hobby. If I were to take it apart in another 27 years I know the joints will be right. I won't look back and get that letdown feeling. Every time I visit my mother's house and look at the cabinet I built under the sink I about want to cry. It is terrible. But I built it with wood I had at the skill level I was at. Man I hate that sink cabinet.
The main thing I see with his plywood really is the grain direction.
If there is a complete frame of the 1x4s on the inside, the plywood will effectively just be cosmetic, with some reinforcement against racking. But, yeah, you can do a stand with just plywood, and have a quite strong one at that. I don't have the precision to cut stuff that accurately my self, but for those who do, they can build a simpler stand with fewer materials, and have it come out quite strong and nice looking.
|Y not just go with 2x4 all the way?
One other thing. Your plywood is cut wrong. The grain should run top to bottom not front to back. And it's not just cosmetic. Although plywood has multiple plys it is stronger in one direction. That direction happens to be with the grain, just like solid wood. As has been said: Glue is your best friend.
BTW if you had used 3/4" plywood and proper joinery the 1 x 4s would not have been need for anything except trim and you wouldn't have needed a single screw.
You're putting a 29 in front. And a sump inside. How will you access the sump?
|I am not an engineer, but even if the screws under the top tank held, I would be worried about the plywood wanting to bow outward at the front corners. I do like the concept, though.
Now, I'm sure the combined shear strength of the 12 screws is enough to support 200lbs. but I wouldnt trust them.
you'd have a lot more support for this stand if the tank was placed on the end of the plywood. there is nothing wrong with the materials used, you're just not using the most efficient parts for the most important parts.
and you want rigidity; you could support a tank with 4 2x2's at each corner, but good luck not having it come crashing down. tanks aren't soft squishy things that can handle impact or flexing, like a monkey.

Interpretive Handbook
60476 :
Friedreich Ataxia, Frataxin, Quantitative, Blood Spot
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Friedreich ataxia (FA) is an autosomal recessive disease affecting approximately 1:50,000 Caucasians. The disease is clinically characterized by progressive spasticity, ataxia, dysarthria, absent lower limb reflexes, sensory loss, and scoliosis. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is present in approximately two-thirds of patients with FA and represents the most frequent cause of premature death. Most individuals begin experiencing initial symptoms between 10 and 15 years of age, although there are atypical late-onset forms with initial symptoms presenting after age 25.
FA is caused by mutations in the FXN gene encoding a mitochondrial protein, frataxin. Mutations in this gene lead to a reduced expression of frataxin, which causes the clinical manifestations of the disease. Approximately 98% of individuals with FA have a homozygous expansion of the GAA trinucleotide repeat in intron 1 of the FXN gene. The remaining 2% of FA patients have the trinucleotide expansion on 1 allele and a point mutation or deletion on the second allele. Normal alleles contain between 5 and 33 GAA repeats. Disease-causing alleles typically range from 66 to 1,700 repeats, though the majority of individuals with FA have repeats ranging from 600 to 1,200.
Historically, FA has been diagnosed by use of a DNA-based molecular test to detect the presence of the GAA expansion. However, a molecular-based analysis is not able to effectively monitor treatment, is not amenable to multiplexing with other disease analytes, nor can it be efficiently utilized for population screening. In contrast, a protein-based assay measuring concentration of frataxin is suitable for both diagnosis as well as treatment monitoring in individuals with FA.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosing individuals with Friedreich ataxia
Monitoring frataxin levels in patients with Friedreich ataxia
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Normal results (> or =15 ng/mL for pediatric and > or =21 ng/mL for adult patients) in properly submitted specimens are not consistent with Friedreich ataxia.
For results outside the normal reference range an interpretative comment will be provided.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test is not suitable for carrier detection.
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.
Pediatric (<18 years) normal frataxin: > or =15 ng/mL
Adults (> or =18 years) normal frataxin: > or =21 ng/mL
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

memo: Ryan McCarthy Fundraiser
BETHPAGE - The John McMahon Jr. Memorial Roller Hockey Club played in honor of a teammate tonight after he was critically injured in a hit-and-run accident on New Year's Eve.
Ryan McCarthy, 16, of West Islip, was allegedly hit by Kristofer Busching and spent two weeks in a coma. Doctors say he still has a long way to go to recover.
Teammates decided to help McCarthy by holding a game to raise money for his medical expenses.
"We wanted to help them out in any way we could because we know they would help us," said teammate Matt Tatarian.

Opinion: Brain Dead Politics In Virginia
Ken Cuccinelli aspires to be the next governor of Virginia after spending four years trying to deny women's health care rights, blocking Obamacare and forcing his ideology and personal beliefs on the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Opinion: Just Biding Our Time
In no time, conservatives will be trying to hold back the smirks as these liberals slowly but surely realize what they've done to our country.
Opinion: Ballots Full Of Women
While Mitt Romney talks about binders full of women, Democrats have ballots full of women.
Opinion: Single-Issue Voting Is Wrong In These Multi-Issue Times
Consider the economy, the job market, the recent horrendous occurrences in the Middle East before voting for a person because of his race, his social-issue promises, or any other rather selfish reasons.
Opinion: Team Obama Is Winning The Opening Of The Final Sprint To Election Day
We are currently seeing two very different approaches to the post-debate push from the two Presidential campaigns – Obama has a much stronger opening to the two week push.
Opinion: Why Don't Republicans Understand Rape?
Once again, a Republican politician has said something extreme about rape. Extreme and extremely stupid.
Opinion: Republicans, Abortion and Lying
From being deceitful on Romney's actual position on abortion to being deceitful that women get pregnant from rape or that women can die from pregnancy complications it is time to call the GOP on the deceit and the stupidity.
Opinion: Rivard Yet Another Republican To Devalue Women
"Some girls rape easy." Those are the shocking words of Roger Rivard, a Republican state representative in Wisconsin previously endorsed by Paul Ryan.
Opinion: Mitt Romney Lie-O-Rama Tour Continues
Romney might say he won't restrict a woman's right to choose, but his message is clearly coded for his rightwing base: you do not have to worry about the Supreme Court. Relax, I'm with you, but I'm running for president for Pete's sake.
Opinion: Republicans Endorse Todd Akin As Senate Chances Slip Away
After Mitt Romney's 47% don't pay taxes remark, Conservative columnist Peggy Noonan dubbed the Romney campaign a "rolling calamity" for all its problems and continuing self-inflicted wounds. At this point, she might have to extend that label to Republican efforts to take the majority in the Senate as they flounder and flip flop.
Opinion: Romney and Ryan Are Real Life Versions Of GOP Caricatures Of Kerry and Gore
In an odd turn of events, the Republicans in Tampa nominated real life versions of their cartoon versions of Kerry and Gore. Republicans thought John Kerry should be criticized for changing positions. But Kerry is not in the same league as Romney who ran as a pro-choice candidate and promised to do more for gay rights than Ted Kennedy.
Opinion: The 'War On Women' Is Sexist Fiction
The whole concept of warring on women is totally sexist. The truth is that women are speaking for themselves, doing a damn good job of expressing their views quite clearly and eloquently, and they don't need the media speaking for them – especially the male-intense media of 2012.
Opinion: Akin Incident Shows Contrast Between The Republicans And Democrats
Republicans are kept accountable for their own misspeaks and actions. Unlike the Democrats' life jacket being tossed out to a sinking politician by the Party, when a Republican politician does the inexcusable, the Republican Party throws him an anchor – and that's how it should be.
Opinion: Akin's Position On Rape And Abortion Is The GOP Platform
The basic fact is that Romney, Ryan and Republican's are uncomfortable with a few of the words Congressman Akin used. They are not, however, uncomfortable with the policy position he was expressing. The record shows that they march in lockstep with Congressman Akin.
Opinion: Paul Ryan And The War on Women
If you like the GOP war on women, you are going to love Paul Ryan. After all, Ryan's record on women's health could easily be mistaken for one of W. Mitt Romney's primary opponents, Rick Santorum.
Opinion: GOP Shows True Priorities With War On Women
Instead of working on the economy the GOP has focused on denying women access to health care.

Another disappointing weekend for Caterham has left new CEO Christjian Albers admitting he was unhappy with the team's performance.
Neither Kamui Kobyashi nor Marcus Ericsson finished within the 107 per cent time in Saturday's qualifying leaving the duo to start the British GP on the back row of the grid.
And it didn't get any better in the 52-lap race.
While Ericsson retired with car troubles, Kobayashi finished two laps down after his CT05 was damaged on the opening lap.
Ultimately it was another point-less weekend for Caterham although Albers, a former F1 driver, is adamant there were some encouraging signs.
The Dutchman told Autosport: "We're obviously not happy with where we finished today, but for my first weekend with the team I have to say it's been good.
"We're not even a week into this new chapter in the team's life but we've already seen just how hard everyone at the track and at the factory is prepared to work to push us forwards, and how determined we all are to achieve our targets this year.
"We obviously have a lot of work to do but we're prepared for the challenges ahead and we have another chance in two weeks time to make progress in Germany, so we'll aim to do just that and, little by little, keep improving."

This story was updated at 10:10 a.m. Friday, June 14, 2013.
A science teacher at A. Mario Loiederman Middle School in Silver Spring was arrested Wednesday for several sex offenses that occurred at the school, police said.
Benjamin Robert Cano, 33, of the 200 block of Night Haven Court in Edgewater was arrested and charged with three counts of sexual abuse of a minor and three counts of committing a third-degree sex offense, according to Montgomery County Police.
Cano was released Thursday after posting $50,000 bail.
Cano forwarded a request for comment to his lawyer, Thomas C. Morrow of Shaw, Morrow & Joseph, P.A. of Hunt Valley. Morrow said Cano has no comment at this time.
"I may be in position to comment after I have had an opportunity to investigate the allegations," Morrow said in an email to The Gazette on Friday.
Police arresting documents detail this account against Cano:
One 12-year-old student told a social worker on May 20 that 10 days before, Cano placed his hand on her back as she was entering his classroom "and slowly moved it down to her buttocks."
Investigators interviewed two other students who said that Cano touched them.
One said that Cano took her cellphone from her back pants pocket.
The student, who is 11 years old, said that his hand was positioned between the cellphone and her buttocks.
The final student, 12 years old, said that she was sitting in a hall way holding a cellphone and binder pressed against her chest.
Cano reached for the cellphone and touched her breasts with his hand," according to the statement of charges.
When interviewed by police, Cano denied touching the first student or taking the cellphone of the second.
He told detectives that he touched the third student's chest after she "pinned his hand against her chest with her binder," the records show.
"Cano explained he did not remove his hand immediately because he did not want to struggle, nor did he want to 'yank' his hand from between the binder and the victim's chest," the charging document states.
The allegations against Cano were raised on the afternoon of May 16 and the teacher was placed on administrative leave May 17.
"I am deeply disturbed by these allegations and concerned for the well-being of the students involved in these cases," Loiederman Principal Nicole Sosik wrote in a letter to parents upon Cano's arrest Wednesday.
The principal's letter can be found on the Loiederman website, and a letter was sent home to parents on Thursday, said Dana Tofig, spokesman for Montgomery County Public Schools.
"I know this news is extremely upsetting for our parents, our students, and our staff. Counselors will be available to speak with students who are concerned about this matter and we will continue to make them available throughout the week," Sosik wrote.
The letter went on to note that "safety and security" of students is of the "utmost importance" to Sosik and the Loiederman staff.
Once the allegations were made, the school immediately notified the police and Child Protective Services and Cano was put on administrative leave, Tofig said. Once the school turns information over to the authorities, the investigation is in the hands of police, he said.
Staff Writer St. John Barned-Smith contributed to this report.

Maryland State Police troopers are investigating a Monday afternoon accident in Prince Frederick that sent three people to the hospital.
At 2:02 p.m. Sept. 9, troopers from the MSP Prince Frederick barrack responded to a report of a serious car accident on Route 4 south of Westlake Boulevard, according to a press release.
Police determined a 2000 Ford F-150 truck, driven by 27-year-old Rebecca Murphy of Lusby, was heading south on Route 4 when it swerved from the left lane to the right lane, then back to the left lane. Police said Murphy lost control of the truck and crossed the center median into oncoming traffic heading north on Route 4, the release states.
A 2000 Jeep Cherokee, driven by Casey Jones, 22, of Waldorf was heading north in the left lane on Route 4 and was hit head-on by the Ford, police said. The Jeep then crossed the center median and hit a traffic sign, which "went airborne" and hit a 2009 BMW, driven by Stephanie Wright, 56, of Lusby, police said.
Jones, Murphy and a passenger in Murphy's vehicle, 34-year-old Roger Murphy of Lusby, were all flown to Prince George's Hospital Center and are currently listed in serious condition, the press release states.
The Calvert County Sheriff's Office, Prince Frederick Volunteer Rescue Squad and Volunteer Fire Department, Calvert Advanced Life Support, State Highway Administration and St. Leonard and Huntingtown volunteer fire departments assisted with the incident, troopers said.
The investigation into the collision is ongoing and is being conducted by Tfc. S. Lewis of the Prince Frederick barrack.

So I figured this would be the best place to ask for help on my early 90's Miller Dialarc HF-300. I bought this machine used about 4 years ago and have had great success with it. The previous owner had built a rolling cart with a 30 gallon stainless steel tank for the watercooled torch. Its a great welder and I've been very happy with it for the time I've used it which is about 5 times a month. I've gone through 5 bottles of argon since I started using it 4 years ago. All that being said, today while welding some .250" thick aluminum plate I experienced what can only be described as a surging or cutting out of the arc. I could hear the HF buzzing along as I have the HF on Continuous for welding in AC, but the arc was intermittent and pulsing on and off. This has never happened before and I stopped to make sure I had a good positive ground but everything was fine.
Has anyone else ever experienced this? Could this be a failing transformer inside? I have the amperage settings on the middle position with the dial at about 90%. So its not running at maximum or anything. I'm just a bit miffed as I've been very good to take care of this machine.
On an unrelated note I've noticed what sounds like a failing bearing on the cooling fan but the fan continues to work fine and has never stopped, just whines a bit. So at some point the bearing will need replacing.
Thanks for your help. Talk soon Travis

I need help with my Dialarc HF 300
I think its torch time.... replacement that is.
Now there is 2 types of fan motors, if its the bearing type, and its squealing now, best replace the bearings NOW. It's rather expensive. If its the brass bushing type, best re oil the cups NOW for the same reason.

Thanks for the post. Interesting stuff.
Re: Defining Prosperity Down
Of course our governing elite will let it go on and on..they created it. It's part of a larger picture for them. We don't have to wait for them to turn it around. we can all work on local levels to bring back prosperity. the people have the right to make their own economies and practice local relationships to boost their local communities progress. We really are running out of options.

Vicious KICKER® Comp Loaded Enclosures dole out truckloads of affordable bass. Whether it's menacing dual-sub enclosures that refuse to quit, a thin-profile box for your truck cab, or the vented VC12 housing a brutal 12-inch Comp Subwoofer, the onslaught of bottom end rumbling from your trunk or haul space makes the value of Comp-Loaded Sub Boxes that much harder to believe.
DC12 and DC10 Dual-Loaded Enclosures give outrageously expensive bass a bad name by offering a couple of updated round Comp woofers in a stout, gray-carpeted KICKER box with a monogrammed carbon-fiber front. A TC10 Sub Box Comp puts swagger where there are space limitations with a thin-profile enclosure for max mounting options. All Comp Sub Boxes are vented for the most intense loudness.
The four Comp Loaded Enclosures feature a custom-designed, combination vent/terminal cup, where the impedance designator (2 or 4 Ohm in dual-sub boxes; 4 Ohm only in single-sub boxes) and oversized port share space.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Ralph Graves Unleash your iTunes® music With the iW2 you can enjoy your iTunes music library whether it's stored on your computer or a portable device. This speaker uses Apple Airplay technology to wirelessly connect to your computer, iPod touch®, iPhone®, or iPad® to the iW2 and play songs from your collection. With Apple's free Remote app, you can also operate the system directly from your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad with intuitive, touch screen navigation. Apps and control options In addition to Apple's Remote app, iHome offers additional ways to control your system through your Apple portable device. The free iHome Set app lets you adjust all of the iW2's settings for optimal sound. And the free iHome Connect app helps you set up your wireless AirPlay system. Create an instant whole-house audio system Because AirPlay links all compatible devices together, you can place additional iW2 speakers in other rooms and simultaneously play music wirelessly throughout your home. Or use the iW2 with other AirPlay-compatible speaker systems and audio receivers for convenient music playback, anywhere you want it. High-performance sound The iW2 doesn't trade convenience for sound quality, either. The system's built-in speakers are powered by a low-distortion amp to deliver finely detailed, accurate sound — even at high volume levels. Sophisticated processing circuitry continually adjusts the sound, improving brightness and clarity while also delivering deeper bass. Dock your iPod®, iPhone, or iPad You can connect your Apple portable device directly to the system. Just use your player's charging cable. When you plug it into the iW2's USB port, the system will automatically charge your device. And you can play music directly from your connected iPod, iPhone, or iPad through the system.

Your review should be posted within seven days. Easy Written By Brent, Joplin, MO on Monday, April 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Was very easy to setup, connect to my network. They give 3 options, I think it was, to connect into your network. I picked 1 of the options and had it playing in minutes. Had it playing from iTunes then on my Apple TV and finally an iPad, each was as simple as selecting the airplay icon and then selecting the speaker. Sound quality was Good for the size of the speaker. A little weak on the low end, but not really unexpected. This has nothing to do specifically with this speaker but, I really enjoy being able to select multiple Airplay devices in iTunes for whole house playback. I wish the Apple TV would allow multi-out selection as well. Pros: Airplay simplicity for connecting into the Apple environment. Has a USB connection if you want to connect an iPod, iPhone or iPad directly. Has a 3.5mm Aux in for other devices. Cons: No major complaints. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No No 802.11n Written By Jann, Santa Rosa, CA on Saturday, February 16, 2013 I cannot believe this item requires an 802.11b/g network. I did not want to downgrade my network from 802.11n to the aging 802.11b/g standard. Pros: Airplay!!! Cons: 802.11b/g only!! 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Functions well; sound so-so Written By LewisH, Northern VA on Monday, October 15, 2012 It works well. It's very cool to walk around the house playing whatever song you want at a whim from your phone. It also plays Pandora, etc. The sound is OK for regular use. It's ten watts. If you want to listen to classical or house-rattling dubstep this is probably not for you. As far as setting it up, I would point out that if it is slow and took a few times turning the wifi on and off, but it's never dropped the signal. A downside you may not realize until you try it is that your computer must be on, running iTunes, for it to work---even if using your phone as the "remote." If you only have one computer at home, could be annoying. Also if you are running it from your phone and you get/make a call, it turns off. Also, you can't play different music from different speakers. But all of these shortcomings you pay hundreds more to overcome for Sonos or the like. Pros: integration with iTunes and iPhone remote app; attractive design; price Cons: sound quality is not stunning. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Cannot recommend the iW2 Written By terrypl, Delaware on Saturday, September 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I cannot recommend this product, as it will not connect to my iTunes despite every effort to get it to do so. The iHome site offers no voice tech support, and its email support has not helped me. Crutchfield tech support has made a consistent effort to assist me, but despite their efforts to help, I still cannot get this speaker to play from iTunes. All my hardware and software is up to date, and we are following all instructions to the letter. Pros: Great idea. Cons: Does not connect to network, despite the efforts of its computer-literate owner and dedicated tech support from Crutchfield. 3 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Sabic to Shut Down EG Plant for 10 Weeks for Maintenance, Repairs
8:01 AM MDT | August 8, 2012 | Natasha Alperowicz
Sabic said today that it intends to shut down a 700,000-m.t./year ethylene glycol (EG) plant operated by its Sharq Eastern Petrochemical joint venture at Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia. The facility will be shut down for maintenance and repairs for about 10 weeks, starting at the beginning of September 2012.

OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY: Front Yard
This bed is beside my front porch and is a dry, full sun area. I struggle with the plants there but every year it gets better. There is a lavender and muscari right at the edge which would be along my driveway. The dry tuft above that is a Gaura which becomes quite large and sprawls out over the edge and into walkway. There is a Calla lily, some Lucifer montbretia which will grow 6 feet tall and are bright red. Just a hummingbird magnet. The Autumn Joy sedums love the dry heat and the perrenial sweet pea, although not fragrant is a real trooper and will climb and sprawl over everything. Add in a clematis or two, some ajuga, and a couple of things I don't know the name of and the birdhouse below should feel right at home.
Please visit Susan at A Southern Daydreamer to see the rest of the Outdoor Wednesday posts.

What are those little purple flowers in your photo? I had them gowing in my flower beds this spring. Things in TN are really green and blooming or getting ready to! Our knock out rose bushes are covered with literally hundreds upon hundreds of blooms.

Libby: The little flowers are Muscari or Grape Hyacinths.
Mary: There was a lupine there at one time but I don't think it is still there. I will have to take a better look. The purplish ones in the center-right are Ajuga.
Christi & Cass: I lost a bunch of my lavender plants this winter. I am so ticked off. Well that is gardening for you.
