here are a few more of the things I have made or am working on. The shirt was made after seeing it in a boutique at $150.00.
Yesterday I received my wonderful scarf from the scarf exchange. I love it! And it came with lots of goodies!
I bought the dark variegated yarn in Alaska a couple of years ago and wasn't sure what I'd do with it.
Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I've been reading this blog for a while, but have been really lazy in not posting any of my projects, etc.
I had the day off yesterday from work yesterday. I first went to my local Starbuck's and saw a man sitting working on a scarf and chatting with a friend.
I can petty much knit a sock in my sleep now so I'm wondering if I should challange myself with toe up socks. Are there any advantages to doing a toe up pattern?
Ok, since I was asked to, I went ahead and wrote up my version of a piano scarf.
So I'm setting here knitting my Clap and it's going pretty fast. I had to put markets on for every 2 repeats since I don't own enough to use them for everyyime it says to. But so far so good.

Ecolab closes Champion deal, to sell deepwater unit to Clariant
8:42 AM MDT | April 16, 2013 | Robert Westervelt
Ecolab last week closed on its $2.3-billion acquisition of Champion Technologies. The company secured US antitrust approval for the deal when it agreed to sell a Champion chemical product line that serves customers in US Gulf of Mexico deepwater drilling to Clariant. Champion had 2012 revenues of $1.3 billion and has 3,200 employees in more than 30 countries. Under a consent agreement with the US Department of Justice (DOJ), Ecolab is required to sell Clariant the patent for Champion's best-selling production chemical in the deepwater Gulf, exclusive...

a few helpful hints from what we learned selling on e-bay, personal mileage may very.
keep in mind that if you have a store and list stuff in it for $.30 it dose not show up on the auction floor so to speak. so people just browsing will never see it. so you need to list your biggest seller out on the floor for $4.50 and then people will hit your see my other stuff to see the rest. we listed our MM210 cover and torch cable covers on the main floor and then all the little stuff like our tank and gage covers all went in the store for $.30 along with a few other covers for different welders. it was working well. we also had to start accepting pay pall and C.Cards. its best to go to the bank and open a checking account just for the e-bay/pay pal stuff. we did not want our house $$ to be at all connected to our e-bay $$ as the wifes e-bay account was hacked several times. they always just used her account to try to make a quick fake sail using her good feedback to sucker some one in. but i don't see them getting $$ info being much harder to do if that had been the purpose. we never had much e-bay $ in their anyway but if my SSD check was attached in any way we could have been in a bad way fast. you should also set up a postal account, if business starts up good too many trips to the post office get expensive at $3.20 a gal. for gas.
also a buy it now option really picked up sails for us. lots of people (myself included) want it now and don't want to bid on it for a week only to get snipe bid at the last minuit. i have ended up with several of the same thing due to bidding on several at the same time just to make shore i could get one only to have them all win. i only do that with saw-sall blades and its no biggie to get some extras of them anyway but a buy it now is always what i look for first. so keep some B.Now options in there.
best of luck with it, i hope you get the $5,000 a week the infomercial offers.thanks for the help
hope i helped

I like those flowers. Great paint job too. Been trying my hand at making some flowers.
The attached photo was my first attempt so don't laugh too hard. Used some scrap sheet metal that was lying around the shop. Still haven't gotten around to painting it yet. Terminal laziness I guess.
Also started a few using soup cans figuring I'd go green and try to recycle. No photos yet cuz they're still in the cutting and shaping stage.
The attached photo was my first attempt so don't laugh too hard.
no chance of that happening, i still cant get a rose started ?? and my first attempt was way bad.
i just got some metallic teal paint yesterday i'm looking forward to using on some flowers. i got it cuzz it was rustoleum and on sale for $2 a can. just got it as a rust proofer for my watering tank cart i made but as soon as i sprayed it on i knew i needed to get more for flowers and who knows what else, its really cool looking. it also sprayed on really nice, lots of metallics don't spray well out of a can. this did great. heck the wife liked it so much she said she would buy me some more when she gets paid..........i wonder where she is going to make me use it??? i bet i will be building some thing for her soon.thanks for the help

Jim McGuire doesn't mind giving away his trade secrets.
"There are those times when you're shooting someone who isn't comfortable," says McGuire.
Oh, and here we should note that McGuire is not a marksman.
He's a photographer, and for the past four decades he's amassed a marvelous collection of photographs of Nashville musicians, a collection that is delightful when considered for its artistic value and crucial when considered as a historical documentation of Music City's musicians.

With 2015 designated as "Year of the Light" by UNESCO, X-FAB will reflect this theme with a free webinar in May about its integrated photo diodes that span the light spectrum from ultra-violet to infra-red. Come learn the challenges of supporting all parts of the spectrum with highly sensitive photo diodes. See how various photo diode structures compare in terms of light sensitivity, dark current and capacitance. Find out how to select the right devices for your optical sensor applications.
XDH10 is X-Fab´s dielectric trench insulated smart power technology. Main target applications are analog switch ICs, driver ICs for capacitive, inductive and resistive loads and EL / piezo driver ICs for applications using 220V net supply. The typical breakdown voltage of the HV DMOS devices is >350V or >650V. The modular process combines DMOS, bipolar and CMOS processing steps that are compatible with dielectric insulation to provide a wide variety of MOS and bipolar devices with different voltage levels within a dielectric bi-directional high voltage trench insulation on the same die.
Spectral Response – Shedding Light on the Possibilities and Limitations of Optical Semiconductor Devices
What happens when optical signals are converted to electrical signals? Focusing on the optical to electrical conversion process, this webinar sheds some light on the basics of light interaction from reflection, transmission, polarization and refraction to absorption with semiconductors devices. It explores electrical fields, recombination and lifetime, doping profiles, band structures and pn-junctions to determine what happens when light has been converted into electron-hole pairs. This webinar provides a solid overview of passive and active optical sensor elements manufactured in a mixed-signal CMOS process or added during post processing
The filters are constituted by a Fabry-Perot resonator formed by two Bragg mirrors separated by a patterned cavity. The filter response can be tuned by changing the geometric parameters of the patterning, and consequently the cavity effective refractive index. In this way, many different filters can be produced at once on a single chip, allowing multichanneling. The filter has been designed, produced, and characterized. The results for a chip with 24 filters are presented.
In this paper a modified MEMS foundry process allowing the production of 3D inertial sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes and combinations, is introduced. The new MEMS process is suitable for a wide range of applications that use 3D accelerometers or gyroscopes. One-axis and three-axis designs can be produced with the same process, and the fabrication of complex inertial measurement units, in particular, the assembly process, is simplified.
We present a method for producing monolithically integrated CMOS optical filters with different and customerspecific responses. The filters are constituted by a Fabry-Perot resonator formed by two Bragg mirrors separated by a patterned cavity. The filter response can be tuned by changing the geometric parameters of the patterning, and consequently the cavity effective refractive index. In this way, many different filters can be produced at once on a single chip, allowing multichanneling. The filter has been designed, produced, and characterized. The results for a chip with 24 filters are presented.
Ever been stuck with the "one product, one process" rule when what you really needed was access to a world-class quality process for multiple applications? Not anymore.
X-FAB is presenting a webinar on its open-platform MEMS inertial sensor processes including its new 3D inertial sensor technology. Learn how you can use X-FAB's design partner, MicroMountains Applications, or apply your own design to X-FAB's ready-to-use processes to run high or low wafer volumes without long and costly process development. Find out how X-FAB can help you get to market faster and secure high-quality manufacturing for inertial sensors. You'll get an overview of both inertial sensor technologies and IP blocks from X-FAB, as well as design and test support from MicroMountains Applications.
Sensors are everywhere, serving as an interface between our analog world and the digital world of data processing in electronic systems. Is your design challenge – making sensor output signals available to complex digital systems – further complicated by the need for low noise, temperature-dependent behavior and non-linear effects? If you are looking for solutions for low noise amplification and temperature drift, non-linearity or signal offset compensation, don't miss this free webinar. It helps designers select the right technology for low-noise and high-precision sensor interfaces. You'll get tips for achieving excellent matching for robust circuits, and see how X-FAB's sophisticated modelling enables first-time-right analog and mixed-signal designs.
X-FAB, a pure play foundry, has already extensive experience in volume production of monolithic integrated MEMS devices. The idea of combining CMOS and MEMS processes to obtain monolithic integrated sensor solutions is a logical, consequent step following the "More than Moore" strategy.
PIN photodiodes are often used in optical integrated circuits. Although they can feature a very good RF-performance, this can be effected by the optical power density of the incident light. The influence of this effect on the RF-performance of PIN photodiodes is described. When a critical optical power density in the epi-layer is exceeded the 3dB frequencies are cut off. An analytical equation is derived to describe the effect. The results are compared to RF measurements and verified by numerical simulation.

Historical New Hampshire, a publication of the New Hampshire Historical Society, has published a most complimentary review of Astrida Schaeffer's book, Embellishments: Constructing Victorian Detail. The book, which includes over 70 color photographs, and a collection of Schaeffer's own "superb instructional diagrams and schematic drawings", is particularly unique because of the level of detailed instruction focusing on recreating Victorian clothing embellishments.
Interested readers may find Embellishments in the UNH Library. You may also see examples of textiles from the UNH Irma Bowen Textile Collection, and specific pieces from Embellishments: Constructing Victorian Detail, which have been displayed in a past exhibit at the University Museum.

November 19th, Dimond Library, level 3 (main level) 10am to 4pm
Walk on the Sun is an engaging new interactive space science exhibit which facilitates perception of scientific data and imagery through music and movement. It will be showcased at the Library's GIS Day celebration on November 19.
Since 1992, Marty Quinn has worked on numerous scientific projects to represent data through the cognitively rich domain of music. Over the past several years, he received two NASA grants for an innovative approach using image sonification to communicate the content of images from NASA's STEREO space mission. He currently works for the Space Science Center at UNH's EOS (Morse Hall) supporting two NASA missions known as CRaTER and IBEX.
Walk on the Sun provides a way to explore images of all kinds, including the over one million images of the Sun, the Corona, and the solar winds from 8 cameras on board the twin NASA STEREO spacecraft, through movement and music. In addition, images of nebula and galaxies from NASA's Hubble and Chandra telescopes may also be selected for viewing, hearing and exploring.
People's movements are visually tracked and used to select pixels in images they literally walk on. The images are data projected downwards onto a white floor. The pixels are translated simultaneously into musical notes based on color and brightness so the explorer can comprehend the scientific information contained in the images via the auditory and musical channels of the human brain, substantially increasing accessibility to those who are blind and visually impaired.
For GIS Day at the Library, Marty will also be demonstrating a number of NASA environmental change image sequences which allow one to hear the change as a change in music. A follow-on technology created by Quinn called MoveMusic will also be used during the UNH Diwali Celebration on Nov 15th to sonify the movements of models during the Indian fashion show segment.

There is a principle that internet service providers (ISPs) and governments should treat all data crossing the internet equally. It should not matter what type of device is being used, who the user is, or what site or application the data is being coming from/going to—net neutrality should mean no difference in charging models, no discriminating between the different use cases.
The arguments go back and forth as to whether this should be enshrined in legislation as a right, or allowed to drift in a competitive open market.
Despite the arguments and the capacity of technology to advance there are restrictions due to the laws of physics and certain resources that are therefore limited. This might not be too much of an issue with the massed bundles of fibre optics at the heart of fixed-line networks, but wireless networks have to balance range, capacity, power and the frequency spectrum in what is increasingly 'noisy' environment. Ideally without 'frying' anything en route.
While the resources are constrained, the boundless enthusiasm and appetite to access mobile data and applications is not. Nor, given the numbers of subscribers and devices, is the number of endpoints diminishing. In fact, with a re-awakened interest in machine-to-machine communications (M2M), or an 'internet of things', this is likely to accelerate further.
So what about unwired net neutrality?
There are already differential services that break the spirit, if not the letter, of the principle. To observe this, consider the way hotels have been offering Wi-Fi. Initially it appeared to be a new revenue stream, but then establishments realised it was costly to get right. As more venues started to offer it, the differentiation was lost and it became a 'table-stakes' offering of free Wi-Fi once hoteliers realised that actually they really made money from renting out rooms and selling food and drinks.
Not all have reached this point yet, but the more progressive organisations have already gone a step further. They offer 'basic' Wi-Fi for free, but have a premium service that offers greater bandwidth, improved latency etc—what might be described as 'professional' Wi-Fi, compared to currently simple hotspots. Basic allows a bit of email and gentle browsing, but the premium service would be good enough for consumers' IP telephony, gaming and video streaming or virtual desktops and unified communications for the enterprise user.
Then there are cellular networks. Some carriers are premium-pricing their higher speed 4G offerings compared to the tariffs on their 3G networks. Of course with differential caps on usage it also gets a little confusing as to which is the best service for an individual user. In countries where only one or a few of the mobile networks are offering 4G today, there will be rapid pricing changes as operators switch between land grab, maximising revenue and maintaining network quality modes.
Given that users have different needs—from M2M applications that might only require a few guaranteed kilobytes to video streaming gamers who need high bandwidth and low latency—there will have to be different types of services offered. Setting caps on how many minutes of communication or megabytes of capacity will be bundled and then charged for will no longer be sufficient.
Different qualities of service will need to be differentially priced. This might require application bundling, e.g. all the social media you can eat, but video is charged by the megabyte or guaranteed service levels, e.g. all gaming traffic in sub XYZ latency, but email transmitted as 'best efforts'.
It will be a real challenge for rating, billing and marketing, but there is no dark fibre in the sky and all the innovative use of spectrum has its eventual limit, which, with ever more users and usage, is close by.
The superfast mobile net is unlikely to be very neutral, but that might work out to be beneficial in the long run.

Net neutrality is NOT about making every service the same... this is the usual old Aunt Sally. Set her up and then shoot her down. It's about business discrimination - favouring one service (the provider's own usually) over others. The neutrality bit is about providing an open service, end to end. That's what I pay for and expect from my service provider. The ISP has been contracted (by me) to give me the connectivity. I will decide what service to watch or explore
It's really quite simple. And if my Hotel WiFi provider has a two tier service - great! What's the problem? I can buy several tiers of speed from my ISP at home. If it's not too expensive I will buy the top tier one - but I want to be able to access everything across it, not just the walled garden content the provider is getting a kick-back to allow through.
As I say it's quite simple. Neutrality as I have just described it - not the straw man the writer above has seen fit to construct - is the proviso that made the Internet the wonderful thing it is today. We need to keep stamping our feed for neutrality to keep it that way.
Posted: 11th April 2013 | By Mike Cohn :
Why the heck are ISPs, Hollywood and paid puppet journalists fighting tooth and nail to get rid of net neutrality? Because they want to start blocking content. They want to censor speech and get rid of anything that competes with their monopoly cable tv model.
Do u like the internet as it is? Damn straight u do. Then fight your tail off to keep the internet free and open. Demand net neutrality for the internet! And then demand title ll law for the internet afterwards, like they did with the phone companies, where all calls are treated the same. The internet is for communication!

Mr Cohn,
I'm not sure who the 'paid puppet journalists' are?
I'm an unpaid blogger.
I would say that the day that users of the internet are shouted down by aggressive bullying of individuals is just as bad as the day their content is blocked by companies - not all censorship is overt.
Do I like the internet as it is? No, performance is lousy for those in remote or rural areas. I'd like decent performance for all not just free for a few.
The internet is for communication, after all.
Posted: 12th April 2013 | By RobB :
Thanks for your comments.
I'd thought that some might have still objected if the premium service bits you'd paid for from the hotel were given special treatment through the rest of the network over the 'free' ones, ie paid for traffic shaping (or optional toll roads?)
I guess you're saying it's ok for people to have service discrimination, but not for organisations to exert control?
If we had infinite bandwidth there would be no issue, but when there are limits, someone must apply the brakes or pay for extra fuel - the question is who and how open will they be about it?

Timecrimes (Los Cronocrimenes)
Action/Adventure, SciFi/Fantasy
Hector is relaxing on a lawn chair outside of his new country home, surveying the nearby hillside through a pair of binoculars, when he catches sight of what appears to be a nude woman amidst the trees. Hiking up to investigate, he is attacked by a sinister figure whose head is wrapped in a grotesque, pink bandage. Fleeing in terror, he takes refuge in a laboratory atop the hill, where a lone attendant ushers him in to a peculiar scientific contraption. He emerges what seems to be moments later, only to find that he has traveled back hours in time, setting in motion a brain-twisting, horrifying chain of events when he inadvertently runs into himself. Drawing from the best traditions of classic science fiction and crime fiction, "Timecrimes" plays games with the genre and the audience, giving the protagonist a Russian-doll like shell of identities that are shed so often that Hector can be playing one of any number of whodunit archetypes at any given moment as he becomes increasingly more complicit in the complicated mess that he's trying to fix.

ETSU men accept bid to CollegeInsider.Com Tournament

Buccaneers to host former SoCon rival Furman in the Dome
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 13, 2011)
- The ETSU men's basketball team will make history later this week, as the Buccaneers will host the program's first-ever home game in a national postseason tournament.
The Buccaneers will take on former Southern Conference rival Furman Tuesday evening in the first round of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. Tip is set for 7 p.m. inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
All seats for Tuesday's game are open and will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, so fans are encouraged to call early on Monday to pick up their reserved seats to the game. Adult tickets will be $10 apiece, with tickets priced at $5 for children under 12. Students will be free with a valid ID. The ETSU ticket office number is 423-439-ETSU (3878), and fans can also purchase tickets via ETSUBucs.com beginning at midnight Sunday.
"We're excited about this opportunity to play in the postseason," said ETSU head coach
Murry Bartow,
who has led the Bucs to five 20-win seasons and five postseason berths in eight years at ETSU. "We think having a former Southern Conference team in the Dome will make for an interesting matchup for our fans."
ETSU finished the season at 22-11 overall, but fell short of a third straight NCAA Tournament trip by falling in the semifinals of the Atlantic Sun Conference Championships. Despite that loss, the Bucs enjoyed a successful campaign, having consistently posted a strong RPI in the Top 100 throughout year. In fact, the Bucs enjoyed quality wins over teams such as Atlantic 10 Conference foe Dayton and SEC opponent Mississippi State, on way to their highest national RPI ranking since 2003-04.
ASun.TV will not be providing a live video streaming of the game, but the Buccaneer Sports Network will air the contest on its normal radio affiliates, including flagship stations WXSM-AM (640) and WJCW-AM (910).

Finland's most successful downhiller, Andreas Romar, left Atomic after 7 years of co-operation and has signed a deal with Austrian ski maker HEAD. Romar, who is one of the most talented young racers at the WC tour, joins Norwegian Aksel Lund Svindal, Kjetil Jansrud and other Rebels at HEAD's "World Cup Rebels team".
Romar, who originates from the flattest part of Finland where hills are a rarity and when a hill is to be found, they size way below 100 meters in height, is advancing in his off-the-beaten-track to the world's speed elite. This season the flying Finn scored at 5th position in the World Championship downhill race at Schladming.
"This is a very thrilling challenge for me, I'm very happy to be part of the HEAD group of top skiers who have done so well in major events", says Romar. "I hope to be able to contribute strongly to HEAD's success in coming years. My main goal is to become one of the best downhillers in the world."
"Andy is very talented and he has a great character. He perfectly fits in our team," says Rainer Salzgeber, Director of the HEAD Race Department. "He will help us to prepare a bright future for HEAD. We think he will be a very appealing role model for all younger skiers encouraging them to follow their own paths."

|Head Coach
|Previous College:
|Bucknell '00
Bryan Schiding is in his second year as the head men's track and field and cross country coach at Missouri Soutehrn after serving four years as an assistant coach for the Lions. He worked primarily with the men's sprinters and both the men and women's jumpers, but now has oversight of the entire program.
In five years at Southern, his athletes have combined for 18 individual and two relay All-American honors. In total, the Southern track and field athletes have accounted for 143 individual NCAA qualifying marks (92 men, 51 women) during his tenure.
The 2014 season saw the Lions earn six All-Region honors in the indoor portion of the schedule, while picking up three All-American performances at the NCAA Division II National Championships. Jeff Fraley also earned the MIAA High Point honors at the Indoor MIAA Championships after winning both the 60m and 200m titles. Four Lions earned All-Region honors in the outdoor season and Darion Boure earned All-American honors en route to breaking his own triple jump record for the third-straight season.
In 2013, Boure again broke the triple jump record with a mark of 51-10.50 at the MIAA Championships, while freshman Tylor Allbright broke the long jump record, as well. On the women's side, freshmen Kaylee Morgan and Brittani Regan had stellar first-year campaigns. Both were All-American in the outdoor season with Reagan earning AA honors in both the long and triple jump. Morgan set the school record in the long jump as a freshman, as well and both her and Reagan qualified for the USA Track and Field Junior Championships.
In 2012, the Southern sprinters and long/triple jumpers virtually rewrote the indoor and outdoor top-10 lists. Freshman sprinter Jeff Fraley, was the indoor and outdoor MIAA champion in the 200m, and was ranked top three nationally in the 60m, 100m, and 200m dashes. In addition, Fraley was a two-time All-American 200m sprinter last year. Freshman jumper Darion Boure broke the outdoor triple jump record by nearly a foot, and was also an outdoor All-American.
One of Schiding's more decorated athletes is Tyrone Smith. Smith, a professional long jumper, currently owns the Bermuda national record. He most recently finished 12th at the London Olympic games, and had previously finished 15th at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Smith currently has a personal best jump of 27' 0". His collegiate career included two national runner-up finishes and a fourth place showing in the event at the 2006 NCAA Division II Indoor Championships.
Prior to Missouri Southern, Schiding spent 6-years at Missouri S&T. He was twice named as the NCAA Division II Men's Regional Assistant Coach of the Year, earning the honor in 2007 for the Great Lakes Region after the Miners posted their highest finish ever at an NCAA championship meet, then again in 2009 as the Missouri S&T men's team swept the Great Lakes Valley Conference titles with strong performances from its sprinters and jumpers keying the title runs.
While at S&T, Schiding developed one of the finest Pole Vault programs in Division II. Over a span of six years, he had 14 All-Americans and 30 NCAA qualifiers in the Pole Vault. In 2009, he coached three different pole vaulters over 17 feet. The Miner sprinters and field event competitors had great success under Schiding's guidance. His stay at Missouri S&T saw 74 individuals qualify for the NCAA Championships with 22 earning All-America honors. His athletes set 61 new school records and had over 150 all-conference performances. Missouri S&T also had four individuals earn the GLVC "Freshman of the Year" awards and had a total of 73 individual qualifying marks, one relay and 21 All-Americans during his stay in Rolla.
Prior to joining the Missouri S&T coaching staff, Schiding
served as an assistant track and field coach at LaSalle University
in Philadelphia for the three seasons. He coached both the men's
and women's field events and also worked with the sprinters and
hurdlers. He helped coach teams to a total of five
Atlantic-10 Conference championships, including two men's and two
women's titles in cross country, and the men's indoor title
in 2003. His athletes established 11 new school records
during his three seasons on the staff.
Schiding was the team captain while competing at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pa., from where he graduated in 2000 with a bachelor's degree in economics. He set the school record in the indoor long jump and won conference titles in the long jump (twice) and triple jump; he earned seven all-conference awards during his career at Bucknell. Schiding also competed in the sprint and multi events as well as the relays.
He earned his MBA with a concentration in marketing from LaSalle. Schiding currently resides in Carl Junction with his wife, Stephanee and daughter Lilyan and son William.

Interpretive Handbook
8413 :
Manganese, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Manganese (Mn) is a trace essential element with many industrial uses. The twelfth most abundant element in the earth's crust, nearly all mined manganese is consumed in the production of ferromanganese, which is then used to remove oxygen and sulfur impurities from steel. These industrial processes cause elevated environmental exposures to airborne manganese dust and fumes, which in turn have lead to well documented cases of neurotoxicity among exposed workers. Mining and iron and steel production have been implicated as sources of exposure.
Inhalation is the primary source of entry for manganese toxicity. Signs of toxicity may appear quickly, and neurological symptoms are rarely reversible. Manganese toxicity is generally recognized to progress through 3 stages. Levy describes these stages. "The first stage is a prodrome of malaise, somnolence, apathy, emotional lability, sexual dysfunction, weakness, lethargy, anorexia, and headaches. If there is continued exposure, progression to a second stage may occur, with psychological disturbances, including impaired memory and judgement, anxiety, and sometimes psychotic manifestations such as hallucinations. The third stage consists of progressive bradykinesia, dysarthrian axial and extremity dystonia, paresis, gait disturbances, cogwheel rigidity, intention tremor, impaired coordination, and a mask-like face. Many of those affected may be permanently and completely disabled."(1) Few cases of manganese deficiency or toxicity due to ingestion have been documented. Only 1% to 3% manganese is absorbed via ingestion, while most of the remaining manganese is excreted in the feces.
As listed in the United States National Agriculture Library, manganese adequate intake is 1.6 mg/day to 2.3 mg/day for adults. This level of intake is easily achieved without supplementation by a diverse diet including fruits and vegetables, which have higher amounts of manganese than other food types. Patients on a long-term parenteral nutrition should receive manganese supplementation and should be monitored to ensure that circulatory levels of manganese are appropriate.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Monitoring manganese exposure
Nutritional monitoring
Clinical trials
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Serum manganese results above the reference values suggest recent exposure.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Specimens collected from healthy, unexposed adults have extremely low levels of manganese. Because of the high environmental concentration of manganese, contamination is always a possibility when considering elevated results. Precautions must be taken to ensure the specimen is not contaminated. Metal-free serum collection procedures must be followed and centrifuged serum must be aliquoted into an acid-washed Mayo metal-free vial.
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.
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.

If it's any consolation, the outstanding football teams at Mount Ayr, Murray and Creston/O-M can say they were knocked out by teams playing for a state championship last week.
Granted, Council Bluffs St. Albert, Gilbertville Don Bosco and Sioux City Bishop Heelan came up short against powerhouses Iowa City Regina, Marcus-Meriden-Cleghorn and Decorah, respectively. But, it's obvious the teams that knocked out our area elite teams were no slouches, either.
If you saw every Creston/O-M game this season, you watched 20 all-staters perform, including nine opposing players and three Panthers on the Class 3A first team, as announced Tuesday by the Iowa Newspaper Association.
As you can see in the list published in today's News Advertiser, the first-teamers who played against the Panthers this year were receivers Sam Markham of Atlantic and Connor Niles of Bishop Heelan, offensive lineman Bryce Sweeney of Heelan, running backs Noah Kaldenberg of Winterset and ADM's Jordan Grove, Heelan kicker Tyler Stolen, Heelan quarterback Trent Solsma (utility selection), Heelan defensive lineman Jake Skibinski and Perry defensive back Will Whiton.
I was pleased that the INA panel of sportswriters, assisted by volunteer football coaches from all corners of the state, decided to name defensive back Luke Neitzel, linebacker Trevor Frain and defensive end Keaton Hulett of Creston/O-M to the first unit.
They were each deserving, but I worried it would be tough to devote that many coveted first-team spots to a team that did not win a playoff game.
The hard part would have been figuring out which one(s) to drop to a lower team. If you watched the Panthers, you knew Neitzel was a playmaker on both sides of the ball for three years now. And, anytime there was a ball carrier, Frain was likely to be closing in for one of his explosive hits.
And, this year, especially, it seemed every time an opposing quarterback was dropping back or rolling out to pass, there was Hulett bearing down on him full speed for a sack or a hurry.
All three of those guys could have helped any team in the state.
Frain had more than 100 tackles for the season, and those numbers are legitmate. We had a discussion about that topic at Sunday's INA selection meeting.
You see some kids listed with 175 tackles in nine games, and you wonder how their stat team does their job. The Iowa Football Coaches Association has directed member coaches to tell their stat crews there are specific guidelines, and those are applied by the Panther stat crew.
Specifically, on every play not a touchdown or someone forced out of bounds, there is to either be a solo tackle, or no more than two players credited with assisted tackles. You are not supposed to give assists to three, four or five kids on a given play.
The other thing with relying on tackle numbers for evaluation is that sometimes you rack up big tackle numbers if your defense stinks, and you never leave the field. The impressive thing about numbers put in by Hulett and Frain, and the seven interceptions by Neitzel, is that Creston/O-M's defense was strong, and rarely gave up extended drives covering the length of the field.
And, not to be overlooked is the blocking of Hulett and Frain as part of the offensive execution that allowed Neitzel to compile 2,016 total yards and 29 touchdowns.
Isn't that the essence of football, blocking and tackling?
The journey didn't quite go as far as everyone hoped, but it certainly was fun watching it along the way.
Speaking of playmakers, I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone better at improvising and creating something out of nothing than Murray's daring quarterback, Austin Halls.
While Scott Vicker was doing a great job in his debut at the 1A meeting, representing Mount Ayr's interests, I was wrapping things up with the Eight-Man committee Sunday afternoon. When the selections were done, I just kind of assumed quarterback Tanner Utesch of state champion MMC would be selected the captain. Then one of the coaching advisors said this:
"There would be zero controversy if you gave it to Halls, for what he's done on both sides of the ball the past two years."
Well, I certainly couldn't argue that, and neither did other members of the committee.
It was fun to write the capsule profile of the captain required for the INA news release. In the process, Mustang coach Keith Shields provided an interesting tidbit.
The only other Murray player to be named all-state captain was Cole Page, who happens to be Halls' brother-in-law. He is married to Austin's older sister, Tara, who is a special education teacher at Murray.
There are amazing similarities between the careers of Page and Halls, besides the family ties.
Page was selected to the INA Eight-Man first team as a defensive back in 2000, and captain of the team, just like Halls. Page was named first-team quarterback by the Des Moines Register and Eight-Man Player of the Year by the Iowa Football Coaches Association. Halls was named second-team quarterback on last year's all-state team.
Page led Murray to an 8-0 regular season record and District 3 championship in 2000, the last district title before this year's championship run directed by Halls. That year, Adair-Casey defeated Murray 64-14 in the first ever playoff game held at Murray.
Page had been the only Murray quarterback to pass for more than 1,000 yards in a season before Halls the past two seasons.
The 2000 team averaged 59 points a game in the regular season as the highest scoring team in the state. Murray led this year's Iowa football in scoring, averaging 65 points, second all-time only to last year's Fremont-Mills team.
From week nine of the 1999 season through the regular season of 2000, Murray had a nine-game winning streak, only bested by the 2012 team that won 12 in a row before the semifinal 78-76 overtime loss to Don Bosco.
"Both Cole and Austin played with a similar intensity and desire to win, and are two of the best competitors, athletes and people to come through Murray High School," Shields said.
Standing on the sideline during the quarterfinal game against Adair-Casey, as Halls was juking and spinning his way to another long touchdown on the way to a 381-yard night, former Mustang head coach Danny Jensen shook his head and said, "He's just sick. Wow."
It was a blast watching that Mustang squad make two runs to the Dome. There are some weapons returning, so it may not be over yet.
But it's bound to be different not having that combination of Halls and all-state receiver Cody Scroggie posing as a threat to score any time, from anywhere. That was exciting.

Georgia Southern Hands Volleyball First Home Loss, 3-0
Saturday, October 13, 2001Johnson City, Tenn. -- Georgia Southern defeated East Tennessee State 3-0 (30-25, 30-25, 33-31) in a matchup of two of the best teams in the Southern Conference Saturday afternoon from Brooks Gym. The loss snaps ETSU's ten-match winning streak and their seven-match home winning streak. The first game was a exciting back-and-forth game, with the teams trading points throughout. The Bucs held a 12-9 advantage midway through game one, but the Eagles would fight back to tie the game at 15 and eventually take the lead 19-18. Georgia Southern would cruise from there, taking game one, 30-25. Georgia Southern jumped out to a 9-3 advantage to begin game two, but the Bucs began to chip away at the Eagle lead. GSU held the lead throughout the game, but the Bucs would cut the lead to as few as three at 24-21. The Eagles would take six of the last ten points to win game two, again by a 30-25 score. Georgia Southern jumped out to a 6-2 lead, but the Bucs would come right back and tie the game at seven. The Bucs would then take a small lead, but the Eagles would then tie the game again at 13. From then, ETSU would begin to build a small lead, growing to be as large as four points at 28-24. Georgia Southern would then win four straight points to tie the game. Georgia Southern would then win five of the next eight points to take the final game 33-31. The Bucs were led by freshman outside hitter Karen Freeburg (Newcastle, Ind.), who led the team with 12 kills against just two errors. Senior setter Carey Cavanaugh (Munroe Falls, Ohio)tallied 31 assists, and added six kills and no attack errors. Sophomore outside hitter Kate Steidle (Waynesboro, Va.) had a team-high 11 digs. The Eagles were led by outside hitter Martina Veiglova, who had a match-high 17 kills and also added six digs. Georgia Southern had two setters that had 20-or more assists, Amanda Brooks leading the way with 24 and Kim Foytich adding 20. Outside hitter Megan Lippi also had a great match with a match-high 15 digs and eight kills against no attack errors. The Buccaneers return to action as they face Western Carolina Monday night at 7 p.m. Georgia Southern will next travel to Stetson Tuesday night for a 7 p.m. match.

17-16, 22-18, 16-13, 24-24
Turning Point: With the game tied 45-45 during the third quarter, France made a decisive 8-0 run from which Russia were never able to recover.
Game Hero: While Tony Parker has enjoyed better nights percentage-wise, his influence especially in crunch time was always likely to be significant. But, even he was overshadowed by Nicolas Batum who was outstanding with an all-action line of 19 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks.
Stats Don't Lie: Russia was trashed 35-21 on the glass.
France will get the chance to fight it out for the EuroBasket title with Spain after their first ever win in a Semi-Final.
They inflicted a first loss of the tournament on Russia as they claimed a memorable 79-71 success, after an intense struggle which finally ended a last four 'curse' that had denied them on so many previous occasions.
Their victory also prevented Russia from setting up a repeat of the 2007 Final, with David Blatt and his team now left to fight it out with F.Y.R. of Macedonia in the bronze medal game.
As expected, both teams slugged it out in the early stages with neither giving the other any real daylight.
Timofey Mozgov dunked Russia into an 11-8 lead but Tony Parker responded with his second three-pointer of the game to level the scores.
France then edged ahead, thanks to a stunning baseline drive and dunk from Charles Kahudi before a spin move by Parker on the buzzer helped retain their slender advantage, at 17-16.
Russia started the second quarter in style with a dunk by Semen Antonov but France responded with a tough play from Nicolas Batum. Moments later they found themselves 24-20 ahead with possession and an opportunity to make a move.
But, after failing to execute, Mickael Gelabale was then called for an unsportsmanlike foul after stopping a fast break which gave Russia real impetus. They converted seven of the next nine points to take the lead, helped by a three-pointer by Sergey Monya.
France then managed to produce a decisive 11-2 scoring spurt with Batum and Parker both converting from downtown.
It put them 39-31 ahead with just 40 seconds of the half remaining but Vitaliy Fridzon replied immediately from the arc with what looked a potentially crucial score to limit the damage to five points.

France started the second half poorly when they returned from the locker room. They turned the ball over on their first three possessions and this allowed Russia to tie the game up in double-quick time.
With France scoring a solitary point in four minutes, they needed a kick start and it was Batum who provided. He made a couple of shots from downtown as France scored eight points without reply to take the initiative once more at 53-45.
When they increased their lead to double digits at 61-49 early in the fourth, it looked like a long way back for Russia and so it proved.
While Kirilenko tried to rally his team, managing to get within four points, it wasn't enough.
Parker and Batum both came up with some seriously big plays in crunch time to book a very special Sunday appointment with Spain.

"I loved everything about this gift tag! Looked great on clear cellophane goodie bags for my son's Star Wars themed birthday party."
"Customized this with bright pink and yellow for my daughter's first birthday party - they turned out so spectacular. ONLY criticism is that the weight of the stickers is a bit thin... but used them as seals for her invitations and they perfectly coordinated with the address labels (same Fantastic First group, which I also customized). Happy customer!"
"We loved this label. It match the party invitations we ordered and we used them to personalize our party favors. We wish they came in larger options and other shapes too!"
"This item was a fantastic addition to my nieces birthday. It received praises from everyone as it added a personal touch"
"We are so very happy with this birthday card. My son wanted a Star Wars theme for his birthday and, of course, TP had something for the occasion that was right up his Star Wars alley and right up my elegant and adorable alley. We were thrilled with the cards options - photo/no photo, age, font selection, etc, as it allowed us to create the perfect card for our occasion and as always the card quality was wonderful. Almost every single RSVP we received mentioned what a great invitation we sent out - so it definitely didn't go unnoticed. This invitation was a hit all around; parents, recipients and, most importantly, my son all loved it - definitely a 5 star card!"

|Ben & Jerry's Online Halloween Games
One of the games on the Ben & Jerry's Halloween website pages is this "Undead Smackdown" (or ""Whack-A-Ghoul") game that I wasted about ten minutes playing. Use your mouse button to move the shovel and left click to bring the shovel down. Have fun!
I know from experience in talking with our inn's guests that many of them check the Ben & Jerry's website before they travel to Vermont (the company's Waterbury VT factory is about ten minutes from our facility). It is a very entertaining website with a mix of some seriousness thrown in once in a while.
If you go to the website, you can check the Ben & Jerry's Halloween page to find a lot of information including the history of Halloween, seasonal recipes, crafts, coloring book pages, safety tips, and some games. Note: when you go to the page and click on the Jack O Lantern, your pop-up blocker may prevent it from working. On Firefox browsers, click the bar above the web page and then click "Allow Pop-ups from benjerry.com." Then you can click the Jack O Lantern again to get into the website's Halloween section. Look at each page carefully and run your cursor over the various items that will then lead you to other pages.

|University of Vermont Fleming Museum Exhibits
There are two unusual exhibits at the University of Vermont's Fleming Museum you may find interesting.
Buddha in Paradise at the Wolcott Gallery runs through December 19. It is about finding "Pure Lands" or paradise in western terms and is a collection of ancient paintings dating back to the 13th century. Also, during this week, October 15 - 22, Buddhist monks are constructing a circular painting called a mandala made from colored grains of sand to represent the universe. You are welcome to watch the construction and also the eventual destruction when it is cast into a pool of water, a part of the process that "symbolizes the impermanence of existence and the ideal of non-attachment to the material world."
Architectural Improvisation: A History of Vermont's Design/Build Movement 1964-1977 runs through December 19 in the East Gallery. This unique exhibit looks at a group of architects who formed the Vermont Design/Build movement based on their Bauhaus theory education at Yale School of Architecture and the University of Pennsylvania Architecture program in the 1960s. These students, many of whom are still here in Vermont, set out to explore "radical social, technological, and aesthetic experiments."
I've seen several examples of their work around Waitsfield Vermont. Some are lacking in practicality, grace, ingenuity, creativity, advancement, longevity, or relativity but they are a magnetic curiosity and a great symbol of the futile side of the 60's. It's good that this approach did not go far and it's not surprising but sometimes you have to know what does not work in order to know what does work. This is an excellent body of work for the student of the 60's to know about.
The Yestermorrow school in Waitsfield VT is a product of this movement. It has an intriguing line up of classes.
The Fleming Museum's hours are Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Wednesday, 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Saturday & Sunday 1:00 to 5:00 PM. Closed Mondays.

|VT Teddy Bear Presidential Poll Shows Surprising Results
The next leaders of the free world. God help us.
In my September 21 entry, I mentioned that the Vermont Teddy Bear Company was selling Obama and McCain teddy bears. Now that the Vice Presidential candidates have been announced, Vermont Teddy Bear has rounded out the ticket with their four bears.
I had mentioned that it would be interesting to know which bear ticket was selling the most. In fact, if you look at the company's website, you will see that several thousand people have cast their "votes." You can do the same.
I was surprised to see that the McCain/Palin ticket was winning handily by about 2:1 over the Obama/Biden team - that certainly goes counter to all the polls I have seen lately.
Visit the company's Vermont stores In Shelburne VT and Waterbury Center VT, or order online the bears of your favorite candidates and don't forget to vote on November 4.

|More on Dogs
Shortly after I wrote the entry below about the Dog Party at Dog Mountain, I ran across this quote which I've seen before but had not remembered for a long time. As a dog owner, it's one of my favorites:
"We are alone, absolutely alone on this chance planet: and, amid all the forms of life that surround us, not one, excepting the dog, has made an alliance with us." - Maurice Maeterlinck
Maeterlinck was a Belgian poet, playright, and Nobel Prize winner who lived 1862 to 1949.

|Spectacular Foliage Today
I took a quick snapshot this afternoon of the hillside across the street. The foliage colors this year are magnificent. If you ever wanted to travel to Vermont to see the fall colors, you couldn't do any better than this year. Some of the upper elevations are a little past peak but still look very good and some areas have yet to peak. You still have time.
