At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To detect and/or monitor increased or decreased levels of one or more of the immunoglobulin types (IgG, IgA, and IgM) that are used to evaluate a person's immune system status
When to Get Tested?
When you have recurrent infections and/or chronic diarrhea; when your doctor suspects an immunoglobulin deficiency; periodically to monitor a condition that affects immunoglobulin levels that may be genetic or acquired (HIV/AIDS, Multiple Myeloma)
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm; sometimes a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or saliva sample
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test measures the amount of immunoglobulins A, G, and M in the blood and, in certain circumstances, in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or saliva. There are numerous conditions and diseases that can cause increased or decreased production of immunoglobulins (Igs).
Immunoglobulins play a key role in the body's immune system. They are proteins produced by specific immune cells called plasma cells in response to bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms as well as substances that are recognized as "non-self" and harmful antigens. The first time a person is infected or otherwise exposed to a foreign substance (antigen), their immune system recognizes the microorganism or substance as "non-self" and stimulates plasma cells to produce specific immunoglobulin(s) or antibodies that can bind to and neutralize the threat. With subsequent exposures, the immune system "remembers" the antigen that was encountered, which allows for the rapid production of more antibodies and helps prevent re-infection.
There are five classes of immunoglobulins and several subclasses. Each class represents a group of antibodies and has a slightly different role. Classes of immunoglobulins include:
- Immunoglobulin G (IgG) – About 70-80% of the immunoglobulin in the blood is IgG. IgG antibodies form the basis of long-term protection against microorganisms. Specific IgG antibodies are produced during an initial infection or exposure, rising a few weeks after it begins, then decreasing and stabilizing. The body retains a catalog of IgG antibodies that can be rapidly reproduced whenever exposed to the same antigen. In those with a normal immune system, sufficient IgG is produced to prevent re-infection. Vaccinations use this process to prevent initial infections and add to the catalog of IgG antibodies, by exposing a person to a weakened, live microorganism or to an antigen that stimulates recognition of the microorganism. IgG is the only immunoglobulin that can pass through the placenta. The mother's IgG antibodies provide protection to the fetus during pregnancy and to the baby during its first few months of life. There are four subclasses of IgG: IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4.
- Immunoglobulin A (IgA) – IgA comprises about 15% of the total serum immunoglobulins but is also found in saliva, tears, respiratory and gastric secretions, and breast milk. IgA provides protection against infection in mucosal areas of the body such as the respiratory tract and the gastrointestinal tract. When passed from mother to baby during breast-feeding, it helps protect the infant's gastrointestinal tract. Significant amounts of IgA are not present until after 6 months of age. There are two IgA subclasses: IgA1 and IgA2.
- Immunoglobulin M (IgM) – IgM antibodies are produced as a body's first response to a new infection, providing short-term protection. They increase for several weeks and then decline as IgG production begins. IgM can be produced by a fetus but, due to the size of the IgM molecule, it does not pass through the placenta. IgM antibodies in a newborn can indicate an infection that began during pregnancy.
- Immunoglobulin D (IgD) – the role of IgD is not well defined and IgD is not routinely measured.
- Immunoglobulin E (IgE) – IgE is associated with allergies, allergic diseases, and with parasitic infections. It is almost always measured as part of an allergy testing blood panel, but typically is not included as part of a quantitative immunoglobulins test.
Quantitative immunoglobulin tests measure the total amount of each primary immunoglobulin class, IgA, IgM, and IgG, without distinguishing between subclasses. Separate testing can be performed to measure immunoglobulin subclasses and/or to detect and measure specific antibodies.
A variety of conditions can cause an increase (hypergammaglobulinemia) or decrease (hypogammaglobulinemia) in the production of immunoglobulins. Some cause an excess or deficiency of all classes of Igs while others affect only one class. Some of the conditions are passed from one generation to the next (inherited) and others are acquired.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm. When required, a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is collected by a doctor from the lower back using a procedure called a lumbar puncture or spinal tap. Saliva or other fluids are collected in a container provided by the laboratory.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

I love these new stencils! I like to work with faces, in particular, so they are perfect for someone like me, especially since I'm not a portrait artist. I'm using them on the fronts of my cards, plus doodling around the faces and edges.
Love these stencils, would recommend them to anyone.

Pewter Report Radio returns to the airwaves today and every Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. with Scott Reynolds joining JP Peterson on 1010 AM CBS Sports Radio and continues with Reynolds and Mark Cook hosting a full hour of Buccaneers talk from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m.
Pewter Report Radio returns to the airwaves today and each Wednesday on 1010 AM CBS Sports Radio. The Buccaneers talk begins at 5:30 p.m. as Pewter Report publisher Scott Reynolds, who is in his 16th year covering the team, joins afternoon host J.P. Peterson to discuss what the team has to do after the Bucs' bye week to win at New Orleans and make the playoffs. Additionally, Pewter Report Radio will be spending time dissecting the play of QB Josh Freeman over the first half of the season.
That 30-minute segment leads into a full hour of Pewter Report Radio delivered by Marco's Pizza from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. on 1010 AM featuring Reynolds and new Buccaneers beat writer Mark Cook hosting the show. Reynolds said that the content on the full hour of Pewter Report Radio in the 6:00 p.m. hour will be even more news-based with the latest scoop from One Buccaneer Place as well as fresh analysis on the previous week's Bucs game as well as a look ahead to the next one.
"I think what will make this show different is the fact that Mark and I are reporters, not sports talk show hosts," Reynolds said. "We are going to focus on relaying as much information and insight that we collected first-hand from the players, coaches and our sources at One Buc Place and do it in an entertaining way. For one hour a week we want to take the 1010 AM listeners into the Bucs locker room and have them learn all we did from the week thus far at One Buccaneer Place so they can be the most informed Bucs fans around. If you like the content on PewterReport.com, you will love the new Pewter Report Radio show."
Aside from detailing the team's injury reports, breaking down key match-ups and keys to victory there will also be some college football/NFL Draft discussion and a mention of a Pewter Prospect each week for Bucs fans to familiarize themselves with.
Reynolds brings 13 years of on-air experience to Pewter Report Radio and is excited to work with Cook, a veteran from Tampa Bay's first sports talk radio station 910 AM WFNS back in the 1990s.

Community Issues That Matter: MSHA affiliate enters health insurance business
By Bob Robinson
Earlier this year, Integrated Solutions Health Network (ISHN) formed CrestPoint Health insurance company and AnewCare Collaborative, the region's first community-based accountable care organization.
CrestPoint Health, based in Johnson City, is a Medicare Advantage organization with a Medicare contract.
ISHN's primary stakeholder is Mountain States Health Alliance, a not-for-profit health care organization that operates a family of 13 hospitals serving a 29-county, four-state region in Northeast Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, Southeastern Kentucky and Western North Carolina.
ISHN comprises community hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, orthotic/prosthetic providers, durable medical equipment providers, home health agencies, hospice, laboratories, rehabilitation facilities, ambulatory surgery centers and approximately 2,000 physicians, including primary care, specialists and allied health.
How will MSHA's decision to enter the health insurance market affect its bottom line and the quality of health care provided by MSHA doctors and hospitals, especially at Sycamore Shoals Hospital?
According to MSHA Communications Manager Teresa Hicks, CrestPoint is the region's first and only insurance company built around the triple aim — better health outcomes, lower cost and higher patient satisfaction.
"CrestPoint promotes healthier living, and it goes hand-in-hand with all the health care services that come with the MSHA accountable care organization (ACO). MSHA got into the health insurance business because it fits in with where health care is headed in the future. We want to stay ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
How does insurance fit in? In order to make an ACO work, the insurance provider has to be willing to accept responsibility too. So far, very few commercial insurance companies in the U.S. have agreed to participate in ACOs, Hicks said.
"The goal of the ACO is not just to treat patients when they're sick, but to help individuals improve their overall health so they don't get sick in the first place. This results in fewer hospital visits, lower costs and a better quality of life for every patient.
"If we can help people get healthier by providing services tailored to meet people's needs, then their insurance costs are less, and that's good for the entire region," Hicks said.

So I looked into every team's schedules/boards/blogs/etc that we are playing this year and from what I found this is our possible schedule as of now for 2012:
9.3 PLAY GT (home)
9.8 PLAY AUSTIN (home)
9.15 PLAY PITT (away)
9.22 PLAY BOWLING (home)
9.29 PLAY CINN (Away- Fedex DC)
10.6 NO:bc/miami COULD:duke.unc.clem.fs
10.13 NO:miami COULD:duke.unc.clem.fs.bc
10.20 Open COULD:duke.mi.unc.clem.fs.bc
10.27 NO:Gt COULD:duke.mia.unc.clem.fs.bc
11.3 Open COULD:duke.mi.unc.clem.fs.bc
11.10. NO:BC COULD:duke.mia.unc.clem.fs
11.17 open COULD:duke.mi.unc.clem.fs.bc
11.24 PLAY UVA (home)
Now I know there are 13 Saturdays listed here but that's just for a reference of the weekends we *could* play- obviously we will have 1 off week and hopefully a couple of Thursdays in there. Hokiesports/etc haven't listed all of these yet but based on everything I've found this is where we are right now. 2008-2011 we have taken off a weekend somewhere between the second weekend in October to the first in November, which looks like it will be the same this year. Also our Thursday night games have been the last week of October-first week in November from 2008-2010 and 2011 was the second week in November (due to taking the first week off).
Anyway, I just wanted to share what was scheduled so far for 2012 since we are still "patiently" waiting for it to be announced.

Alright, its been a minute since ive been on here but you all have been able to answer my pb questions in the past, so heres me new one...
Alright, first off, ive got a 98c pro plat e grip with a million other mods on it.
Right now im running Co2 with a GTA expansion chamber.
My question is, if i wanted to run HPA would leaving the expansion chamber on have any drawbacks becides added weight? (ide like to be able to go back and forth between them if possible.)
And also.. ide probably also wanna throw a palmers stab on it, i think... how would all that work together with the expansion chamber and all...
On another thought...
Do you think their would be that much of a diffrence between cot with an expansion chamber, and HPA with a stab in about 70degree weather?
Thanks in advance.

Florida G Bradley Beal undecided on upcoming NBA Draftby Jason Lieser
Bradley Beal seems like an obvious candidate to leave college after one year and jump to the NBA. He is projected as a top-10 pick in the upcoming draft by several outlets, including ESPN, which has him at No. 6 overall.
Beal said today he has not decided whether to return to Florida for his sophomore year or turn pro.
"I have no clue," he said. "I haven't even really thought about it at all."
He acknowledged it is difficult to consider his choices when he is engrossed in the current season for Florida. The Gators are a No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament and face Virginia on Friday (2:10 p.m., TNT) in Omaha, Neb.
He plans to sit down with his family and Florida coach Billy Donovan at the end of the season to get their input.
Both options sound good to Beal. If he does leave, he will feel good about the season he gave the Gators. He is their leading rebounder with 6.5 per game and is second on the team at 14.6 points per game.
"Either way it goes, if I leave, I still played a great year of college," he said. "I enjoyed it. If I stay, it's only going to make me get better. Either way it goes, I'm gaining something positive out of it."

When Enzo Ferrari was 22 years old, he sold the house he was born in to buy a racecar. Throughout his life Enzo unsuccessfully tried many times to buy it back, but as of early March, his childhood home in Modena, Italy, a small city between Milan and Bologna, has become a museum dedicated to his memory. The Enzo Ferrari Birthplace Museum includes the original house where Ferrari was born in 1989, as well as Ferrari's father's original workshop and a new building designed with a shiny yellow aluminum roof designed to look like the hood of a car. "I remember coming back one to see the house when I was a kid, but it wasn't with my father because he never wanted to come back," said Piero Ferrari, Enzo's son and the auto company's vice chairman. "He always said that if he couldn't buy it, he didn't want to go into a house owned by other people.
The museum features multimedia presentations which recount the life of the famous racecar driver turned legendary sports car manufacturer and memorabilia including Ferrari's glasses, birth certificate and the violet pen he always used to sign documents. The new building will also hold temporary exhibits of historic racecars, including Maseratis, Alfa Romeos, Fiats and of course, Ferraris. The next exhibit, held in June, will be on the rivalry between Ferrari and Maserati, which is based in Modena and now also owned by Fiat.

Newspaper Agrees to Pay Woman $400 After Sparking Debate Over Fair Use
The Portland Press Herald has agreed to fork over $400 to a woman named Audrey Ann Slade after its use of one of Slade's photos sparked a furious fair use debate online. The paper published a story last week about Reverend Robert Carlson, a minister who committed suicide recently after being accused of abusing young boys. Specifically, the piece reported on the fact that Slade's photos proved that Carlson continued to engage in on-campus events after resigning abruptly in 2006 from his position as chaplain.
It decided to publish one of Slade's photographs — both online and in print — showing Carlson at a 2010 ceremony held on campus grounds. Problem was, they badly mishandled the process, and neither contacted Slade nor attributed the photos to her.

I'm rounding out week one, but ive got a few diet questions. my wife recently received some free advocare meal replacement shakes. I was wondering if I can use them as a meal replacement with this program. the way advocare works is with the normal 3 meals, but if im supposed to eat 6 small meals, I don't want to double up with the shake and then eat again in a few hours. I would hate to accidently put weight on by drinking this in place of what should be a small meal, but I would like to use them since they were free. is this too much for a "small meal" replacement?
Aaron that's a bit of sugars in them. My protein shakes are around 9 grams. I know though some protein bars are that high in sugars. Calorie wise it looks excellent. And proteins are great.
I'm personally a big promoter of Myoplex. This doesn't look too bad other than sugar being higher than I would want. You could try it and see what kind of results you get. Really the only way to truly know. I don't think it would cause any significant weight increase, if any.
thanks for the help, I just looked at the protein mix I've got and its only got 2g of sugar, its not myoplex but its what I've got left over from a while back. calorie wise its got 280 and 10 from fat. 7g of carbs. I think I might just polish off this can and then go to myoplex, I've noticed that its pretty cheap compared to most

ORO-MEDONTE - Humanitarian work and award-winning scientific research have earned Oro-Medonte's Maya Burhanpurkar national recognition.
The 13 year old was among 28 Simcoe North residents honoured with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal during a ceremony at OPP General Headquarters.
The commemorative medal recognizes individual talent and service to the community and country.
"It was completely surreal," Burhanpurkar said in an interview. "Walking with the rest of the distinguished award recipients, it made me feel a little bit unaccomplished standing next to those people. It made me feel very young. There was one lady who was 96 years old who was the oldest yoga instructor in the world."
A Grade nine student at Barrie North Collegiate, Burhanpurkar this year won the Discovery Challenge award at the Canada Wide Science Fair for her work testing the impact of two promising Alzheimer's drugs on the heart and gastrointestinal system.
She developed a prototype of a cardio-protective drug for seniors and athletes who overstress their hearts.
Previously, she was awarded the S.M. Blair Foundation Innovation Award for creating a new class of low-cost antibiotics for developing countries.
In addition to her academic accomplishments, Burhanpurkar volunteered in a hospital in India during the bird-flu pandemic and organized fundraising campaigns for Haitian disaster relief, among numerous other initiatives.
She was named an Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year in 2011
"The achievements and contributions of people who have been around for a long time are incredibly important, but young people are also stepping in and doing their part as well," she added.
Burhanpurkar, who hopes to pursue her love of science in a lab setting within a few years, is currently working on a new project.
"It's more in a physics and a mathematics direction," she added. "No amazing discoveries yet. It's a bit of a secret now because I don't know if it's all going to work. But I'm trying."
Even with her myriad accomplishments, Burhanpurkar insists she remains a "reasonably normal" teen with other interests.
"I'm not just an academic that only enjoys studying, because to be honest I don't enjoy studying either," she added with a laugh.

Money For Nothing, Chits For Free
Money For Nothing, Chits For Free
Lewis Op-Ed featured in Tech Central Station
December 04, 2002
Today and tomorrow, in Chicago, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will hold its second public meeting on President Bush's plan to award "transferable credits" to companies that reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. If this workshop is anything like the Nov. 18-19 event in Washington, D.C., the sponsors will have no satisfactory answers to such key questions as:
Journalists and others who raise such questions at the Chicago workshop will be doing a public service, because the federal government cannot award credits for GHG reductions without corrupting the politics of U.S. energy policy. Growing the Greenhouse Lobby GHG credits attain full market value only under a mandatory, Kyoto-style emissions "cap" or reduction target. In effect, GHG credits are Kyoto stock - assets that mature and bear dividends only if the U.S. government ratifies Kyoto or enacts a comparable regulatory regime. Thus, if implemented, the Administration's plan will expand and mobilize corporate lobbying for Kyoto and kindred energy rationing schemes. Yet the Administration professes to oppose Kyoto. Moreover, any form of energy rationing is contrary to the President's National Energy Policy goal of securing new supplies of affordable energy for the American people. What's going on here? At the Nov. 18-19 Washington, D.C. workshop, Administration officials gave a "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it" response when challenged about their legal authority to award credits. One DOE official argued that confronting the legal question now would be "putting the cart before the horse," because the Administration can't know what additional legal authorities might be needed until the crediting system is built. This is exactly backwards. The Administration has invited everybody and his brother in the energy, manufacturing, and transportation sectors to help them devise a crediting system. The Administration has no business encouraging U.S. companies to spend time and resources on a project before it convincingly demonstrates its legal authority to complete the project. It is astonishing that anyone familiar with these matters would even suggest that section 1605(b) of the 1992 Energy Policy Act, or any other provision of law, authorizes the Administration to award regulatory credits for emission reductions. Section 1605(b) is less than one and a half pages long. Anyone who reads it can see for himself that it makes no reference, or even allusion, to transferable credits. When House and Senate conferees adopted the final version of the 1992 Energy Policy Act, they considered and rejected House-passed language that would have established a crediting system under section 1605. Proponents might retort that 1605(b) as enacted does not expressly prohibit DOE from awarding credits. But as the Supreme Court has emphasized, "Few principles of statutory construction are more compelling than the proposition that Congress does not intend sub silentio to enact statutory language it has earlier discarded in favor of other language." During the 105th and 106th Congresses, Senators John Chafee (R-R.I.) and Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.) introduced legislation to transform the 1605(b) reporting program into a "credit for early reductions" program. The Chafee-Lieberman legislation was intensely controversial, and never mustered anything approaching majority support. Chafee-Lieberman gained only 12 co-sponsors on its second go-round. Representative Rick Lazio's (R-N.Y.) House companion bill attracted just 15 co-sponsors. Neither bill ever came to a vote in committee, much less on the House or Senate floor. The notion that Congress implicitly enacted the substance of those bills seven years earlier, when it adopted section 1605(b) of the 1992 Energy Policy Act, is preposterous. If, as the Administration seems to believe, section 1605(b) already provides authority for transferable credits, then why did Senator Lieberman champion credit for early reductions legislation in the 105th and 106th Congresses? Indeed, since President Clinton and Vice President Gore also advocated credit for early reductions, why didn't Clinton and Gore institute a crediting system via administrative action? How come Senator Lieberman never called upon the Clinton-Gore Administration to award credits under existing 1605(b) authority? There is only one reasonable answer to those questions - neither Senator Lieberman, nor Messrs. Clinton and Gore construed section 1605(b) in the loosey-goosey way the Bush Administration seems to interpret it. Windfall Profits for "Anyway Tons" So why is the Bush Administration pushing this pro-Kyoto, legally dubious initiative? Corporate lobbying is certainly a factor. Several major companies expect to reap windfall profits for "anyway tons." For example, the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) argues that nuclear power plants "avoid" carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that would otherwise occur if the electric utility sector tried to meet public demand solely through fossil fuel-fired generation. "In 2000, the last year for which data exists, U.S. nuclear power plants avoided the emissions of 174.4 million metric tons of carbon," NEI claims. Let's consider how NEI member companies might profit from a crediting scheme. The U.S. average annual reduction target under the Kyoto Protocol is 558 million metric tons carbon equivalent. If the Administration decides to count "avoided" emissions as reductions, and if NEI member companies continue to "avoid" 174.4 million metric tons carbon equivalent per year, then NEI members will be entitled to hold 31 percent of total U.S. emission allowances under the Kyoto Protocol. Clearly, a credit scheme has the potential to transfer billions of dollars from non-nuclear generators and other industry sectors to NEI member companies. And all because NEI members split atoms for a living! A review of industry comments submitted to DOE on the crediting plan shows a pervasive pattern: Companies seek windfall profits for doing (or not doing) what they would do (or not do) anyway.
In all of these cases, a company or industry group seeks to corner a valuable commodity (an emissions credit, after all, is an authorization to use energy) for actions that are economically motivated and have little or nothing to do with any environmental concern. Worse, the companies want credit not for reducing emissions but for "avoiding" or "displacing" emissions that would occur only under a hypothetical set of conditions that does not exist. Consider Ref-Fuel, a waste-to-energy company. Ref-Fuel admits that it cannot identify either "the specific landfill that is not built to receive the waste," nor "the fossil fuel capacity that is not built due to decreased demand." Nonetheless, Ref-Fuel still believes it is entitled to credits for "avoided" emissions. However, waste-to-energy production is not the only way to avoid methane emissions from landfills. Landfill methane gas can be captured and either (a) "flared" or (b) burned to generate electric power. To make good its claim to deserve credits, Ref-Fuel must not only identify the specific landfill or coal-fired capacity that is not built. It must also identify the methane recovery or landfill generation facility that would not be built even if Ref-Fuel quit burning trash. In a few cases, identifying avoided emissions is less problematic, as when a manufacturer installs a combined heat and power (CHP) plant and, thus, reduces its demand for electricity from the local coal-fired power plant. However, utilities are leading the charge for a credit program, and some of the biggest (American Electric Power, Cinergy, Detroit Edison) want a "default rule" that awards the credit to them when a manufacturer reduces their emissions by installing a CHP plant. They are willing to let the manufacturer "contract around" the default rule - but guess which firms will hold the whip hand in such negotiations? Incidentally, Cinergy believes that reporting of creditable emission reductions "should not be subjected to independent third party review." How convenient for a utility that considers it appropriate for utilities to take credit for other companies' energy efficiency investments. It is not hard to understand why some companies want a money-for-nothing, chits-for-free climate initiative. But why on earth should the Bush Administration promote this recipe for corporate rent seeking and pro-Kyoto regulation, especially when it doesn't have a legal leg to stand on?

For immediate release: October 15, 2013

UCHealth develops Facebook tool to assess women's breast cancer risk.
In addition, breast cancer specialists offer advice on how a woman can better understand mammogram guidelines, dispelling myths and fears.
In support of October's national Breast Cancer Awareness month, University of Colorado Health launched an easy-to-use Facebook application to help women assess their risk of breast cancer.
The tool takes less than a minute to complete and can be found at myriskofcancer.org.
The tool is based on the National Cancer Institute's breast cancer risk assessment algorithm. It was originally designed for use by health professionals. UCHealth decided to offer the tool and other educational resources to empower women to take control of their health.
"The intent of this assessment is to be a conversation starter between a woman and her doctor," said Dr. Regina Brown, medical oncologist at UCHealth's Fort Collins and Loveland cancer care clinics.
The tool asks users seven questions about ethnicity, age, family history of breast cancer and other issues. Both five-year and lifetime risk of having breast cancer are displayed on a secure webpage. Users have the options to email themselves the results and share the tool with others. The health information is not stored anywhere, so the only person who knows it is the woman who filled out the assessment.
"It should be clear that the model can estimate your risk, but it cannot tell whether you will get breast cancer," said Dr. Ann Stroh, medical oncologist at UCHealth's Loveland and Fort Collins cancer care clinics. "It's not meant to be definitive as the tool does not use all the known risk factors for breast cancer."
UCHealth created videos to dispel common fears of mammography and to show that healthy women without symptoms get diagnosed with breast cancer every day. In one video, a patient wears a GoPro helmet camera to share her mammography experience at the UCHealth Breast Diagnostic Center in Fort Collins.
In another video, Cindy Lewis, a local fitness instructor, shares how her journey with breast cancer was complicated because she had elected not to get a mammogram.
"I had none of the risk factors that you would expect," said Lewis. "I was a non-smoker, non-drinker. I was in very good shape. I was at a healthy weight. I ate healthy."
Had her cancer been detected early, she "would have had the option to have maybe just a lumpectomy and radiation rather than radical surgery and chemotherapy," she said.
The videos can be viewed at http://pvhs.org/breast-care.
Recommendations for when a woman should receive mammograms became a hot topic four years ago. At that time, the U.S. Preventive Task Force published new recommendations calling for women from 50 to 75 years old to undergo screenings every two years.
The previous commonly followed recommendation was an annual mammogram for women 40 and older, a recommendation still supported by The American Cancer Society and the UCHealth Breast Diagnostic Centers in Fort Collins, Greeley and Loveland.
Dr. Brown shares her clinical experience in her "Mammogram Recommendations and Controversy" article so women can better understand mammogram guidelines.
University of Colorado Health employees dedicate themselves to providing patients and other customers with world-class care and service. Outside organizations recognize that, calling University of Colorado Health's hospitals some of the best in Colorado and even the best in the nation. Some of those accolades are listed below:

The discovery of a man's body in the stable area of Churchill Downs was being investigated as a homicide. Msnbc's Alex Witt reports.
Updated at 11:53 p.m. ET: LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Foul play is suspected in the death of a man whose body was found in a barn behind Churchill Downs just hours after the Kentucky Derby was run at the track.
Police have ruled the death a homicide, Louisville Metro Police spokeswoman Alicia Smiley said Sunday.
The victim was identified Sunday as 48-year-old Adan Fabian Perez, a Guatemala native, according to Jo-Ann Farmer, chief deputy coroner for Jefferson County.
Farmer said he was identified by his 19-year-old son, who also works at the track.
"At this point we don't have anything pointing to the fact that this had any association with Churchill Downs or the Derby itself," Smiley said.
"He did sustain injuries that lead us to believe he was involved in some type of altercation," Smiley added.
"Our investigation is ongoing as to why he would have specifically been at this location."
Authorities received a call shortly before 5 a.m. on Sunday reporting a body found in a barn not far from where I'll Have Another, the horse that won Saturday's race, was stabled.
There were no obvious signs of a struggle. Smiley said evidence at the scene led investigators to believe the death was a homicide. She did not elaborate.
She said Sunday evening that police "still do not have suspect information at this point."
An autopsy was planned for Monday to determine the cause of death.
The body was found in a barn occupied by Louisville trainer Angel Montano Sr., Smiley said. Montano did not have a horse in Saturday's derby.
Montano's barn is just four away — about 150 yards — from where I'll Have Another is kept.
A telephone call, text and Twitter message left by The Associated Press for Montano were not immediately returned.
Watch US News crime videos on msnbc.com
On Saturday, I'll Have Another, ridden by jockey Mario Gutierrez, won the 138th running of the tradition-rich Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in a stunning finish before a record crowd of more than 165,000 people.
About 200 people live at Churchill Downs at any given time — either in dormitories on the edge of the property or in small apartments above some of the barns themselves.
About a week after the Kentucky Derby last year, jockey Michael Baze's body was found in a vehicle near the stables at the famed Louisville track. His death was ruled an accidental overdose.

Ahhh, Portland. There's that amazing, farm-to-table meal around every corner, the beauty of the Pacific Northwest on the horizon, great music, a funky, urban downtown and the world's largest used bookstore.
As a city, it is at times frustratingly cool, and so hip, in fact, they made a spoof TV show out of how hip it was. (Watch Portlandia if you haven't already).
On a recent visit, I was assaulted with Portland's coolness when I looked up from a barstool to see a guy coming through the door in black Ray-Bans. Yes, it was night. Yeah, it was raining. He somehow still managed to pull it off.
Next time you visit, hit up Low Brow Lounge and EastBurn.
Have a beer, play some pinball or take shots on a swing set. Just don't forget your Ray-Bans.
Low Brow Lounge
Dark, rouge-lit and a bit dank, if you come in this place, it's probably best to be a couple of beers into your night. The music is loud garage rock. It's more the type of hole you crawl into post-midnight, when you feel a desperate craving for tater tots in cheap ketchup, washed down with a freezing Miller High Life. They have both. Both are outstanding. The staff's not as nice, but you really have minimal contact with them anyway. Low Brow takes its name to task, making the word "Lounge" on the end feel a tad ironic. I'm almost certain if it were legal, the help would just set up a beer buffet and let you serve yourself.
So why go? If you embrace the surly service, stay long enough to ignore the mild hint of mildew and bring a roll of quarters for the (annoying-unless-you're-playing-it) pinball machine, you might deem it one of the best dives in America. I do.
Stake out: The large circular booths in the back and pack it with nine of your funniest friends.
Details: 1036 NW Hoyt St.; 503-226-0200.
After nearly a decade of writing about bars, I put the EastBurn solidly in my Top 5 for Best Patio. First, it's huge. Second, there are small fire pits inside the tables to kill the chill. Third, it's covered — unless it's sunny, and then the roof retracts! Fourth, half of the seating options are giant swings, giving you a chance to feel like a kid again while also drinking beer. Food & Wine went nuts over the Happy Hour Grilled Cheese; the 16-tap craft beer rotation changes daily; and if you visit on Tuesday evenings, you can grab a pint for $2. That's going to change in January, when they inflate to a whopping $2.50. It's the only downside I could find with EastBurn. Fifty cents seems a low price for near perfection. Entrees $13-$16.
Word of advice: Order a bottled beer. Swinging with a full pint of draft is really difficult.

SA 138/2 | Overs 45 | Petersen 76*, du Plessis 10*
Well here is something one does not see often. MS Dhoni is coming onto bowl. He bowls one over of his right-arm medium and concedes only two runs. Virat Kohli dons the wicket-keeping gloves. Dhoni gets some swing as well. Next over, Dhoni goes back to wicket-keeping as Ashwin bowls. He does not wear his pads though. Very brave. Then next over, Dhoni again bowls. Quite a bit of fun action in the last half-an-hour at the New Wanderers Stadium on Saturday. He bowls a bouncer at 114.5 kmph and Petersen has to duck.
This is the first time in the history of Test cricket that wicketkeepers from both sides have bowled. That is stumps on Day Four. South Africa need 320 runs more to win the match and India need eight wickets. That is it from us today. Join us on Sunday and hopefully we have a result in the Test.
SA 132/2 | Overs 41 | Petersen 74*, du Plessis 6*
Faf du Plessis has walked out into the middle. Jacques Kallis gets a bit of rest after bowling a lot of overs. Du Plessis can in no way be termed as a nightwatchman. Ishant bowls a bouncer and Petersen has to duck very quickly. The ball just grazes the helmet as Dhoni collects it. Ishant, quite surprisingly, appeals loudly to everyone's confusion. Murali Vijay has been handed the ball to bowl his occasional right-arm off-spin. He gives three runs away in his first over.
SA 118/2 | Overs 36.2 | Petersen 67*, OUT! Amla 4(13)
Amla is gone in bizarre circumstances. Mohammed Shami bowls it short and Amla ducks. However, it doesn't climb and as it moves past his body, it crashes into the off-stump. He walks back for four. In the first innings, he was leaving a ball and it hit the stumps, and now he was ducking!
SA 118/1 | Overs 35 | Petersen 67*, Amla 4*
Ishant hits Petersen on the pads and there is an appeal. However, it is turned down as the ball was going down the leg-side. Amla gets some short treatment from Ishant and he lets them go through to the keeper. Mohammed Shami is back in the attack and he replaces Ashwin. Amla then gets off the mark by flicking one through mid-wicket off Shami. That raced away to the boundary.
SA 109/1 | Overs 31 | Petersen 62*, Amla 0* Smith 44(73)
Smith has been dismissed! No not to Zaheer. He charges down the wicket to Ashwin and places him towards mid-on and runs through for a quick single. Ajinkya Rahane runs from mid-on and throws the stumps down. Replays show that he was just short and the 108-run opening stand has been broken. Big breakthrough for India.
SA 98/0 | Overs 29 | Petersen 60*, Smith 36*
Zaheer continues to give Smith a few scares. He bowls a knuckle ball and Smith very nearly lobs a catch back to him. Zaheer jumps in his follow through to get there, but it goes way over him. Smith is now settled against the other bowlers though. Ashwin gives him a bit of room and he works it behind point for two. An overpitched delivery is then driven through the covers for a four. This partnership is gradually moving towards 100.
SA 77/0 | Overs 24 | Petersen 54*, Smith 21*
Zaheer Khan gives Graeme Smith a few nervous moments as usual. However, he is also at the receiving end from Ashwin. Coming from round the wicket, the ball nearly hits the off-stump as it held its line. Smith was beaten as he tried to play it according to the turn. Smith then works Zaheer through mid-wicket for a four.
SA 68/0 | Overs 20 | Petersen 51*, Smith 16*
South African openers have put up fifty. Petersen rocks back and cuts Ashwin behind point. Zaheer Khan chases it, but was nowhere near it. He then works a short-ball from Shami through fine-leg and picks another boundary. The openers are looking in good touch and India have to get the wickets soon. Ashwin is using a bit a variation to keep the batsmen guessing but the openers have succeeded in reading hims so far.
Mohammed Shami continues to be accurate bowling wicket-to-wicket making the batsmen play. On the fifth ball of the 17th over, Smith goes for a tentative push and the edge passes through between slips and gully for a boundary. Petersen has reached his fifty. It is a good effort by him.
SA 41/0 | Overs 13 | Petersen 31*, Smith 9*
Ravichandran Ashwin resumes after tea. He bowls tight lines and on one occasion, he gets the edge. The ball goes past the first-slip fielder and they run three. Shami starts from the other end and he id pitching then in the right areas. Petersen isn't able to get him away as Shami is sticking to the right channels.
SA 38/0 | Overs 11 | Petersen 28*, Smith 9*
Ishant is bowling at the channel just outside off-stump to Petersen. MS Dhoni brings Mohammed Shami into the attack and he concedes four runs off his first over. Immediately, Ravichandran Ashwin is also brought into the attack. He has a slip and a forward short-leg placed for him. Shami then has a big appeal for caught behind against Petersen. But umpire Rod Tucker says not out and it is a good decision as the ball clipped the top of the pad and not the bat.
That is tea on Day Four and South Africa need 420 runs still to win.
SA 30/0 | Overs 7 | Petersen 23*, Smith 6*
Ishant and Zaheer are getting bounce on this surface. Both the South African openers are circumspect, but confident. They are putting the bad balls away and that is keeping the scoring rate up. Smith hits an uppish drive but it goes through for a few runs. Zaheer may be wondering what might have been had that catch been taken by Kohli.
SA 13/0 | Overs 3 | Petersen 11*, Smith 2*
Graeme SMith doesn;t take first strike as Zaheer has the ball in his hands. Alviro Petersen faces instead and gets off the mark with a couple. Zaheer then goes from round the wicket and strays on the pads. Petersen works it away to the square-leg boundary to get the first four of the innings. In the third over, Zaheer almost has Smith again. Smith works it to short fine-leg and it sped to Kohli, who couldn't hold on to that sharp chance. Petersen then gets an edge through backward point for a four.
IND 421 | Overs 120.3 | Zaheer 29* | OUT! Shami 4 (5)
Zaheer thumps one from Steyn over deep extra-cover now. He just stands in his crease and he whacks that. Mohammed Shami then flicks one from Steyn for a four through deep square-leg. Shami then tries to slog-sweep Tahir, but misses and is bowled. So, India's second innings ends at 421. South Africa need 458 runs to win the first Test. Tall task for the world's No 1 Test side.
IND 405/9 | Overs 119 | Zaheer 21* | OUT! Ishant 4 (14)
Tahir finally gets his first wicket of the match. He bowls a quicker one and Ishant puts his front foot forward and misses the line of the ball. Tahir appeals vociferously and umpire Steve Davis has no hesitation in raising his finger. Tahir, however, does not celebrate very excessively.
IND 405/8 | Overs 118 | Zaheer 21*, Ishant 4*
After the fall of India's middle-order, Smith has brought back Imran Tahir into the attack. He only gives one run away in the over. Philander then bowls a short delivery and Zaheer gets a thick outside edge and the ball goes over the slip region for a for. Seeing this, Smith places himself in a fly slip region. He is standing in-between the usual first slip position and the boundary line. Zaheer then hits a massive six off Tahir over deep extra-cover. The ball was pitched outside off-stump and was full. Zaheer just smacked that over the boundary line. Zhaeer then swings his bat at a full delivery from Steyn and gets an inside edge. The ball races away for a four past de Villiers.
IND 384/8 | Overs 114 | Zaheer 5*, Ishant 0* | OUT! Dhoni 29(44)
Dhoni has taken the task of smashing it all over and does get a few boundaries. Even Zaheer Khan joins the act by smashing one past point for a four. Later, Philander has a huge shout for caught behind to Dhoni, but it is turned down. In the same over, he carts him over the off-side, but is caught at deep point. Ishant Sharma is the new batsman in.
IND 369/7 | Overs 109.2 | Dhoni 19*, OUT! Ashwin 7(12)
India's lead is now past 400 and Ravichandran Ashwin has walked out to partner Dhoni. He rocks back to Duminy and places him past point for four. It would be interesting to see how long they continue batting. And Ashwin is gone. he gets a leading edge off Philander and is caught in the covers.
IND 358/6 | Overs 106.2 | Dhoni 16* | OUT! Rahane 15 (27)
Rahane gets a full delivery from Steyn and he hits it straight past him for a four down the ground. India have gone past 350 runs in their second innings. In the last over before lunch, South Africa strike again. Duminy slides one away from Rahane and he edges it to Smith at first slip. And on that note, lunch is taken. India are 394 runs ahead.
IND 344/5 | Overs 103 | Rahane 6*, Dhoni 11*
Dhoni is proactive at the crease and knows that he has to get at least 400 runs on the board. He drives Kallis straight down the ground for a four and then sweeps Duminy very fine for another. India have to go into lunch on a slightly better note and Dhoni is trying to milk a few runs so that it happens. Ajinkya Rahane is very quiet at the other end until he rocks back and cuts Duminy through the off-side for afour.
IND 327/5 | Overs 98.4 | Rahane 0*, Dhoni 0* OUT! Kohli 96 (193), OUT! Rohit 6(13)
Rohit gets an outside edge off Kallis and it goes to the boundary through the slip cordon. Kallis looked furious and frustrated at that one. However, he had his revenge. He bowls one delivery that stays low and castles Rohit. His stumps are shattered and he has to walk back. Kohli is now gone! He is agonisingly short of the second ton in the game. He shapes to cut a ball from Duminy and is caught behind.
Finally a wicket to a spinner after 277 overs at the Wanderers! #IndvsSA
— Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) December 21, 2013
IND 320/3 | Overs 97 | Kohli 93*, Rohit 2*
Rohit gets off the mark immediately by getting a quick single. They are taking the singles that are available as they have keep the scoreboard ticking. They are continuing to persist with JP Duminy as he bowls his gentle off-spinners from round the wicket. The runs have been slow this morning and India may take the charge soon. Kohli is well into his 90s.
IND 313/3 | Overs 93.1 | Kohli 90*, Pujara 153(270)
Pujara is out! He tried to work Kallis through the off-side, but edged it to the wicket-keeper. He has been dismissed for 153. He gets a standing ovation as he leaves the crease. Kohli comes down from the striker's end to congratulate him.
Earlier, he had nearly chopped on a delivery onto his stumps off Duminy.
IND 314/2 | Overs 92 | Pujara 152*, Kohli 90*
There were a few quiet overs as Philander was getting some movement. Kohli moves closer to the 90s by opening the face of the bat and guiding a ball through third-man for four off Jacques Kallis. The Indians have scored quite a few runs through that region and South Africa have to do something to plug the flow of runs. Kohli then moves into the 90s with a dab through the off-side.
Surprisingly, Duminy is brought back into the attack when the new ball is only 10 overs old.
IND 305/2 | Overs 87 | Pujara 150*, Kohli 83*
There is some movement for the bowlers and a few have gone past the bat. Meanwhile, these two are running well between the wickets and have kept the scoring going with a few singles and twos. Pujara guides one outside the off-stump from Steyn and it goes through to the third man boundary. There was a lot of control in that shot as he opened the face of the bat and precisely guided it past the gully fielder. Later, he gets more width and he carts it in typical fashion through the off-side. Pujara gets his 150 by taking a single off Steyn. It has been a great innings for India.
IND 293/2 | Overs 82 | Pujara 141*, Kohli 80*
Imran Tahir starts off for South Africa and Pujara picks up a single off the first ball. He does dish out one googly and it does turn a bit. However, he bowls one with width and Pujara places him behind point for a boundary. He waited on that and just guided it to the boundary. JP Duminy starts off at the other end as it is the last over before the new ball is available.
It is quite obvious that they opt for the new ball and Dale Steyn comes into play immediately. This partnership is now worth 200.
Welcome to CricketCountry's coverage of the fourth day of the first Test between India and South Africa at the Wanderers, Johannesburg. We move into Day Four with India firmly in control of the game as they are 320 runs ahead. After bowling South Africa out for 244, they finished Day Three on 284 for four. Cheteshwar Pujara has been phenomenal with his brilliant century and Virat Kohli too has done his bit with an aggressive knock. South Africa lost Morne Morkel due to injury and have their resources cut, but Dale Steyn, Vernon Philander and Jacques Kallis can still do the damage. It would be interesting to see how much India score and whether their bowlers are able to maintain pressure on the South African batting.

Promise and Promiscuity: A New Musical by Jane Austen and Penny Ashton
Your Rating
A Regency romance pop-culture musical mash-up full of double entendres and cheeky fun, Promise and Promiscuity will please both Janeites and Jane-whos?.
New Zealand actor/writer/comedien Penny Ashton writes and stars in this one-woman show and wraps the audience around her finger with a sly wink of her eye. Promise and Promiscuity is the story of Elspeth Slowtree, an intelligent woman who dreams of marrying a man who doesn't want a wife with the intellect of a cabbage. Along the way we meet Elspeth's dotty mother and spirited sister, along with suitors, awful society women, and a lucky audience member who gets to join in on the fun. An irreverently modern take on 19th-century gender roles, Elvis Presley as poetry and the wonder of balls, Promise and Promiscuity is a lark.
— Barb Stewart
From the Fringe program:
Charmingly accomplished Kiwi Penny Ashton (Hot Pink Bits) mashes up Bon Jovi, bonnets, and big balls. Join Elspeth Slowtree as she battles literary snobbery and her mother's nerves, armed with a blushing countenance and being quite bright…for a girl.
