More than monkey business
Disneynature's 'Monkey Kingdom' is its strongest yet
"Did you know monkeys could swim?" asks Tina Fey in Monkey Kingdom. While she's asking, a toque macaque (a two foot-long monkey with red-white fur and great hair) breast-strokes under the surface of a pond, yanking out lily pad flowers by her teeth and dragging them ashore to munch later.
Turns out monkeys can swim. And slide down telephone poles. And do the thing from Flashdance where you bring down a cascade of water on your head and shake it off in slow-motion.
All will happen in Monkey Kingdom, the eighth film in nine years from Disneynature, Disney's wildlife documentary outlet. > Read more.

GRAHAM — Sheriff Terry Johnson said this week his department's vehicle fleet continues to age and is in need of replacement.
Johnson addressed his concerns with the Alamance County Board of Commissioners.
"Over the last few years we have talked about the need of automobiles at the Sheriff's Department," Johnson said.
Johnson said there are 42 patrol officers using vehicles that have excessive mileage. The patrol fleet adds 86,724 miles per month combined. Johnson said 68 percent of the patrol vehicles have between 50,000 and 99,000 miles while 21 percent of the patrol vehicles have over 100,000 miles.
Johnson said the vehicles used for the department's prisoner transport and criminal investigations division also have excessive mileage and need to be replaced.
"I'm not asking the commissioners tonight to do anything that I don't feel like we should be asking," said Johnson. "We looked at it budget time and I talked with Craig (County Manager Craig Honeycutt) for a long time. In the original budget the vehicles were set aside, the money for the original vehicles. However, I understand it was tight times in the county."
The Sheriff's Office had used federal drug asset forfeiture funds to purchase vehicles in the past. This option is no longer available after the U.S. Department of Justice decided to freeze more than $500,000 in federal drug forfeiture proceeds owed to the department.
The DOJ's decision to stop the funds came during the same period that its Office of Community Oriented Policing Services decided to withhold Technology Program Grant cash payments to the county. The grant cash payments were released, but the federal drug asset forfeiture funds remain in limbo.
The DOJ's decision to freeze the funds was based on a Sept. 18 report issued by the Civil Rights Division that alleged the Sheriff's Office had unlawfully discriminated against Latinos.
"If nothing is done next budget year, you are probably looking at (buying) 50 vehicles with the problems we are having," Johnson said.
Johnson said it would cost the county about $25,000 per vehicle including vehicle equipment costs. The current vehicle fleet is inspected monthly and maintenance is provided by Wilson Tire and Automotive in Elon. The commissioners made no decision on Monday on whether to purchase new vehicles for the Sheriff's Office.
DURING THE MEETING, Commissioner Tim Sutton asked if Alamance County could develop its own maintenance garage for county vehicles. Sutton said he had contacted Davidson County to find out more about its garage.
"I'd like to go down and see what they are doing in Davidson with their garage," Sutton said.
Johnson said he believed the county would benefit from having its own garage and it was something he had pushed the county to do for years.
"There is not a consolidated effort on how we handle vehicle maintenance and I guess that's been the history of the county," Honeycutt said.
Honeycutt said each county department has its own policy on how its vehicles are maintained. Sutton said he believed the county has had a "haphazard" approach about it.
Honeycutt said he would work to organize a trip to Davidson County to review how that county operates its garage.

text: Boats built in Maine have a tradition of premium craftsmanship and classic American style, and the models produced by this Raymond-based yard are no exception. Sabre is quick to boast about the pride its craftsmen take in producing each semi-custom model. That pride is evident in the details, joinery and lovely lines of these Downeast-style boats that the company has dubbed "fast trawlers." Today, the motor yacht range consists of models from 38 to 54 feet in length, and configurations include Salon Express and Fly Bridge styles. In addition to exceptional engineering and detail work, the boats offer impressive performance, as each model cruises between 20 and 25 knots and offers a top-end speed of 30 knots plus. Sabre also manufacturers performance sailing yachts of medium displacement designed for blue water.

BKE V-Neck Tank Top 5 5
Favorite for layering BUT.... I have been wearing these tanks for almost 6 years, they are a perfect form fitting tank to wear under any shirt. And I feel that within the last year of buying them that I've been having issues with the bottom seams ALWAYS coming undone within a matter of weeks. Which I hate cuz it looks tacky even under my shirts and it rolls up. If Im paying 14-16 bucks on a tank it better not have that problem for at least the first 6 months! This is my only CON....please keep making quality BKE's please! March 20, 2014
Ehhhhh These tanks used to be the best for layering. Now every time I buy them the bottom seam starts unraveling within a few weeks. They're very cheaply made. October 10, 2013
Cute Tank! Very comfy! A little longer in length, which is great for me! March 23, 2012
Favorite cami This style is my favorite cami style. The quality is great, the fit is great, the colors keep even after lots of washes. All around great product. March 1, 2012
Love I live in these tanks. I wear them everyday. I own almost every color - lace, no lace, V-neck, etc... January 4, 2012

Mobility is redefining productivity. Your workforce needs access to business applications when they need it, wherever they are.

Call the FBI. There's another victim of the cancellation axe over at CBS. The network has cancelled long-running crime drama Without a Trace.
First airing in 2002, Without a Trace follows an FBI team that's tasked with finding missing persons. Each episode follows the search of an individual and tracks the time that they've been missing. The series stars Anthony LaPaglia, Poppy Montgomery, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Enrique Murciano, Roselyn Sanchez, and Eric Close.
The series averaged 15.09 million viewers in its first year on the air and grew to a high of 18.68 million for season three. The show's ratings have declined over the years and season seven has fallen to about 12.2 million. Like many shows on CBS, the drama tends to skew older.
As part of cost-cutting efforts, CBS put Without a Trace and Cold Case on the bubble this time around. Both Jerry Bruckheimer series have become expensive over the years and the network insisted on cuts in salaries and production costs. Both have had an upsurge in the ratings lately but CBS was leaning towards renewing Cold Case.
And then, Cold Case was renewed for season seven at the beginning of this week. As of Sunday, it was looking possible that Without a Trace could still return for a midseason run but the network has now decided against it. Costs and an abundance of new and cheaper shows are contributing factors.
Coincidentally, the series finale of Without a Trace airs tonight. The episode is called "Undertow" and revolves around a man who disappears after a late night dive. Oscar winner Martin Landau (Mission Impossible) guest stars as the father of Jack (LaPaglia) and Danny (Murciano) and Elena (Sanchez) take their relationship to another level.

As in previous years, Jikes RVM will apply to Google Summer of Code for funding for student projects.
The GSoC 2013 timeline has been published. The first date of importance is: Organization application deadline on March 29 2013
Our current task is to collate a set of interesting project proposals and encourage students to apply for GSoC. We can re-use ideas from previous proposals, or come up with totally new ideas.
Hints for students
The application for mentoring organizations hasn't been opened yet. However, it's not too early to read the Google Summer of Code documentation. Students should read at least the GSoC FAQ and Google's advice for students. There's also a lot of helpful information about GSoC that's provided by mentoring organizations and previous GSoC students (use your favorite search engine to find it).
If the Jikes RVM project sounds like it could be a good fit for you, you can already start to get familiar with Jikes RVM. Checkout the source code and read the user guide. Build the Jikes RVM, run some tests and take a look at the codebase. You should have your development environment already set up before applying. Don't hesitate to ask on the mailing lists if you need help.
Once we've been accepted as a mentoring organization, students can take a look at our guidelines on making an application. We expect that students get familiar with the Jikes RVM and the Jikes RVM community before applying.
What's in it for me?
All mentors get a smart Google t-shirt. The project gets some new contributors, and the students get substantial amounts of cash and experience in open source development.
Adding new project suggestions
Please add your ideas to the wiki below, ideally using the template shown below. You can also contribute an idea if you don't have a wiki account: just describe it on on the researchers mailing list.

|Implement the Java Management extensions (JMX) API
|RVM area
classlib, MMTk, threading, compiler
The Java Management Extensions provide a way to monitor and manage Java Virtual machines. The Jikes RVM can collect significantly more profiling data and runtime statistics than an average JVM as a result of it being focussed on research activities. These statistics would ideally be exported using JMX and could potentially provide a standard mechanism for monitoring the performance and health of the virtual machine and its components.
As a first step, students should focus on laying groundwork for a suitable implementation of the API:
After that has happened, students should implement the optional parts of the API and Jikes RVM-specific features. The exact set of features will need to be discussed with the community at the appropriate time.

|Implement the JVM Tool Interface (JVMTI)
|RVM area
threading, JNI
The JVM Tool interface is part of the Java Platform Debugger Architecture that JVMs can implement to provide debugging capabilities. We would like to have a full JMVTI implementation to allow debugging of Java applications that are running on Jikes RVM. Another benefit of JVMTI is that it allows low-level access to JVM internals. This can be used for instrumenting and monitoring the Jikes RVM using low-level code.
There is already a partial JMVTI implementation that was written by James Bornholt for GSoC 2011. His implementation should be used as a basis for this project.

|Improve (or rethink) CatTrack
|RVM area
The Jikes RVM project currently uses the Ruby-on-Rails application CatTrack to track test results. CatTrack is also responsible for sending regression mails.
This project would consist of upgrading CatTrack to use a more recent version of Ruby-on-Rails instead of the ancient Ruby-on-Rails 1.2.6. Potential candidates must have experience in Ruby-on-Rails to be able to take on this project: we don't have the necessary expertise to provide adequate mentoring to RoR beginners. The exact version numbers and the upgrade process need to be coordinated with our contacts at the Australian National University (where the servers are located). New features can be added to CatTrack after the upgrade is complete.
An alternative approach would be to get rid of CatTrack completely and move to a more general open-source solution. Note that this would be a much more disruptive change. A student proposal that suggests this approach must be very convincing to be considered. Another constraint for proposals of this kind is that we want to avoid using yet another language in our build infrastructure (see RVM-85 ). It might be acceptable to replace Ruby with another language but this must be discussed before such a proposal is submitted.
The X10 language project also uses CatTrack for their regression mails. Candidates should be prepared to coordinate with somebody from the X10 team to ensure that an upgraded version of CatTrack (or a replacement) is also a viable solution for them.

|Improve testing situation for JIkes RVM
|RVM area
infrastructure, (additional subsystems as chosen by the student)
An infrastructure for unit tests and some initial unit tests were added to the Jikes RVM in GSoC 2012 by João Reys Santos. However, there is still a lot of work to do before we can consider the codebase to be reasonably well tested. We need more unit tests as well as more black-box tests.
Students should pick an area of interest (e.g. compilers, JNI, MMTk, classloading, threading, ...) and/or motivating use cases (e.g. get benchmark X or application Y running on Jikes RVM), identify and fix the corresponding problems and introduce adequate (unit) tests.
Note that extra effort will be required if students want to use mocking. Mockito does not work with GNU Classpath-based JVMs and our OpenJDK-port is not yet ready.

|Bytecode verifier
|RVM area
classloading, compilers
Jikes RVM currently does not implement a bytecode verifier. We would like to have a bytecode verifier that can verify classfiles at least up until Java 6 (we don't support Java 7 yet). The verifier needs to work with the baseline compiler as well as the optimizing compiler. Ideally, it should be possible to use the verifier from the command line without actually running the bytecode that is supposed to be checked. This could be done in a similar way to the OptTestHarness which enables users to control the compilers.
The verifier should be designed to support custom verification constraints. Some examples for possible constraints are listed in the JIRA issue linked below.

(Punta Gorda)
Muster the courage to take your first steps into the Cave of the Stone Sepulcher and feel the heavy weight of atmosphere descend as you learn about the ancient Mayan human sacrifices that took place where you stand.
It's a haunting experience that brings the Mayan reality jolting into life, but you'll also discover the uplifting side of this lost civilization as you explore its breathtaking rainforest ruins. At Caracol, you'll encounter the wondrous Caana pyramid that rises 140 feet above the rainforest canopy and is capped by three impressive temples. Here, your private guide will piece together the myths and legends of this brilliant ancient civilization as you explore a select few of the 35,000 ruins. Elsewhere, swim in the pristine natural rainforest pools in Blue Hole National Park; snorkel the world's second-largest barrier reef; meet the residents of the Jaguar Preserve near Placencia; and float peacefully downriver on a rainforest tubing adventure.
From the amazing stories of Mayan ingenuity to the secret medicinal properties of rainforest plants and efforts to save Belize's endangered jaguar, there is so much to learn here. Your knowledgeable guides will take you on a physical and spiritual journey through the past, present and future of this incredible country, as you enjoy the comfort of a collection of beachside cabanas, self-contained sanctuaries, and luxurious eco-resorts nestled in dense rainforest.
Enjoy a personalized vacation that best suits your needs, developed by one of our experienced destination experts. Relax during your trip with our 24/7 support and expert local guidance.
Upon your arrival you will be met by a local representative who will help you locate your vehicle.
Transfer to San Ignacio by private vehicle.
Your adventure will begin when you are picked up at your hotel by your private guide and driver. Actun Tunichil Muknal "Cave of the Stone Sepulcher" is one of the most impressive caves in the Maya Lowland. Located in the heart of the Belizean Rainforest, this cave was a sacred place to the prehistoric Mayan of Belize, who first began to use the entrance during the early Classical period (300-600AD). The cave system consists of a series of chambers, ending in a 300x50m cathedral where sacrificial ceremonies once took place. When you enter the cave, you will have the opportunity to travel into the Maya past and witness a living museum where the human sacrifices and artifacts can be viewed in their original context. After an exciting drive to the trailhead, guests will trek for 45 minutes through dense jungle in the Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve and wade across three streams, and learn about the plants and animals of the jungle. At the entrance of the Cave you will be outfitted with the necessary equipment preparing you for the Caving Adventure ahead. Some swimming will be required as well also climbing and caving activity. This is a first class caving and archaeological experience. The hike to/from the cave mouth and the tour itself is now a shared tour with private, round-trip transportation from hotel to ATM entrance area only.
Your tour will begin when you are picked up in your private vehicle by your personal guide and driver. You will transfer to Mountain Pine Ridge Reserve which is a 106,000 acre protected national park. In the 1950's, 60's and 70's, many Belizeans were employed as timber cutters in this area and on the tour you will see that history. Later you will visit Chiquibul Forest Reserve. About a 1 hour drive from Pine Ridge you will arrive at the beautiful Maya site of Caracol (which means the Snail), named by archaeologists because they found numerous snails on site. The original name is Oxwitza which means the sky place. Caracol is the largest archaeological site in Belize, covering 30 square miles in thick, high canopy jungle, and includes five plazas, an astronomic observatory and over 35,000 buildings that have been identified. Among them is a massive pyramid (Caana) capped by three temples and rises over 140ft above the jungle floor. When the tour is complete you will return to your hotel. Tour includes a private guided tour of the site with entrances and picnic lunch. You can choose to stop and explore the Rio-on Pools and Rio Frio Caves before returning to your hotel if they wish.
Whilst transferring approximately 3 hours to Placencia along the scenic hummingbird highway, guests stop off on the way to stretch their legs and go hiking at the inland Blue Hole National Park. They´ll also visit some refreshing natural pools where guests may swim if they like. After time for a tour and bird watching guests have lunch in a local restaurant before continuing on to the their final destination.
Transfer from the hotel to the Cockscomb Nature Reserve where you begin with a nature hike looking for wildlife, discovering medicinal plants and learning about the park's history and efforts to save the jaguar. After a picnic lunch enjoy a refreshing tube-float downriver, enjoying the rainforest from a different perspective. Combine a visit to the Jaguar Preserve with a stop at the fascinating Maya Museum where you will learn about ancient and contemporary Maya culture. Your Maya hosts will show you how to make corn tortillas and how they grow shade coffee and cacao. Your trip to the Maya Museum at the entrance to the Jaguar Preserve can also be combined with a night walk in the Jaguar Preserve. Lunch is included in your tour.
Airport transfer with private vehicle, and driver to/from Airport/Turtle Inn.
Enjoy your flight to Punta Gorda - (08:40-09:00)
A shared airport transfer is included for your stay.
While at the lodge there are a number of activities you can participate in; birding & wildlife, fishing, food & farms, jungle hiking, cultural immersion, kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, diving and more!
Your snorkeling and reef tour takes guests to the Belize Barrier Reef, the second largest barrier reef in the world, to see a variety of aquatic species including sea fans, coral, colorful tropical fish, seahorses, rays, eels and turtles. This tour will take about 6-7 hours. Bring along: sunscreen, bug spray, long light clothing, bathing suit, and snorkeling gears.
A direct flight from Punta Gorda will take you to the Belize City International Airport.
Black Rock Lodge is a unique eco-lodge nestled in the dense rainforest above the Macal River in the Mayan Mountains of Belize, 2.5 hours west of Belize City, south of San Ignacio. The Lodge's cabins boast stunning views of Black Rock Canyon, the Macal River, and the surrounding rainforest and wildlife.

"We are home safe and sound from the best vacation I can remember. It seemed seamless to us but I know that you worked very hard to make our experience so good.
The guides and drivers were always punctual and reliable. They were very knowledgeable, personable, and funny. They provided us with very helpful information and helped us work on expanding our Spanish. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were very nice.
I especially appreciate our ability to update our plans while we were in Costa Rica. The zip lines were the highlight of our trip. I hate to think we almost missed out by not including it in our original plan.
You have made a friend and supporter for life. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know going to Costa Rica.

"Our Costa Rica trip was amazing. The whole family thinks its the best we've ever taken! Kensington did an excellent job of organizing everything. The two hotels they picked were amazing.
Arenal -- The Springs Resort & Spa was almost too good since as soon as the family saw it they wanted to cancel activities so they could take full advantage of all it offered. We ultimately did cancel the safari to give us a free day to spend a day at the spa, pools and Club Rio (riding the river in innertubes!). The activities Kensington setup were excellent and very adventurous. Our favorite was canyoneering (repelling), We were all terrified at the first drop-off! It's more thrilling the zip lining (also lots of fun) and river rafting (a blast as well).
Manuel Antonio -- The Preserve at Los Altos was very nice. It was like staying in a 3 bedroom apartment at a boutique hotel (same feel as Athenum in London but nicer). The drive to get there was a bit long but worth it when our driver made a surprise stop at the the "crodillio bridge". The tour through Manuel Antonio National Park is a must do for nature lovers (3 types of monkeys, sloths, etc). Our guide was excellent. If you go MA NP, try Kapi Kapi for dinner.
I'd highly recommend using Kensington (Brandi was our rep) for a Costa Rica trip. Thanks for hooking us up with them.
Have fun.

"Hi Erika
We returned yesterday from our wonderful Costa Rican vacation and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed it. We loved staying at the El Silencio (the kids would have liked to stay even longer so we could have taken some of the nature hikes). Being surrounded by the cloud forest was an amazing sensation that really helped us to feel that we were in a completely different world and was a perfect way to begin the trip. Maria Lucia was a very kind tour guide and showed us the all sites in a huge day (the waterfalls, Poas volcano, the coffee plantation & Sarchi). The staff at El Silencio was wonderful and Jeff and I very much enjoyed the food and the very elaborate wine tasting there.
In La Fortuna the activities ruled. We loved everything, the exhilarating waterfall rappelling, the zip lining (& tiger swing - the kids LOVED IT) the volcano hike and we had a FANTASTIC time on the river safari with Gerald and his friend Tom. Gerald was a great guide and was able to share many stories while letting us see the wildlife. We saw a spectacular Toucan flock and of course the monkeys were a huge hit. Ending up at the farm was a fun end note to the trip. Of course we enjoyed the hot springs at the Tabacon - they are pretty amazing. Jeff and I had a chance to have a massage at the Tabacon spa and it was spectacular. The service at the hotel was lovely and our room did have a beautiful view of the volcano. I think the hot springs & spa are far superior at the Tabacon.
Alex drove us from both El Silencio to La Fortuna and then from La Fortuna to Punta Islita (that is a lot of driving and he did a great job - he was so friendly and made the travelling very enjoyable). On the way to La Fortuna he made a point of showing us the Iguana restaurant and it was a great wayside stop for everyone.
Punta Islita was stunning. Our villa Ilan Ilan was ideal, the view and the setting were spectacular. The kids loved the pool (when they weren't swimming & playing in the ocean), Jeff loved being able to finally drive around a bit like a native (the villa came with a small 4 wheel car), and I enjoyed waking up every morning to see the sunrise over the cliffs at the ocean's edge, and hear the incredible variety of birds (and on the last day even the howler monkeys). We enjoyed so many of the activities the hotel had to offer. Andrey & Hector and the whole staff were so warm and hospitable. They really worked hard and made every effort to make our stay so much fun. Hector helped us plan some more zip lining, surf lessons, a dolphin sighting/fishing boat trip and a sunset horseback ride which was the perfect way to wrap up the trip.
Ronald picked us up and got us to the airport in plenty of time. Ronald was very interested in showing us the wildlife as we drove through the different areas and we really enjoyed that.
Everywhere we went the people were absolutely wonderful, kind, and proud to show us their country and it made our trip spectacular.
Erika, thank you for all you did to help make the trip such a huge success.

"The transfers went flawlessly; the guides were all superb (knowledgable; thoughtful; sensitive; responsive to our needs). The recommended hotels were, with one exception (see below), also first rate and well matched to our needs and temperaments.
Our thanks for providing 3 wonderful guides: Gary Ortiz (Antigua); Carlos Antonio Lopez (Tikal and Yaxha); and Israel Canto (Belize). All of them understood that we have 'peculiar' tastes (for example: photographing lichen covered tree trunks while the magnificent structures at Tikal were but meters away!). It is really critical that guides not try to make sure that we see every 'important' thing, but recognize instead that 'importance' is very much a personal thing.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To determine your general health status; to screen for, diagnose, or monitor any one of a variety of diseases and conditions that affect blood cells, such as anemia, infection, inflammation, bleeding disorder or cancer
When to Get Tested?
As part of a routine medical exam; when you have signs and symptoms that may be related to a condition that affects blood cells; at regular intervals to monitor treatment or when you are receiving treatment known to affect blood cells
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in the arm or a fingerstick or heelstick (newborns)
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
The complete blood count (CBC) is a test that evaluates the cells that circulate in blood. Blood consists of three types of cells suspended in fluid called plasma: white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (RBCs), and platelets (PLTs). They are produced and mature primarily in the bone marrow and, under normal circumstances, are released into the bloodstream as needed.
A CBC is typically performed using an automated instrument that measures various parameters, including counts of the cells that are present in a person's sample of blood. The results of a CBC can provide information about not only the number of cell types but also can give an indication of the physical characteristics of some of the cells. A standard CBC includes the following:
- Evaluation of white blood cells: WBC count; may or may not include a WBC differential
- Evaluation of red blood cells: RBC count, hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct) and RBC indices, which includes mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and sometimes red cell distribution width (RDW). The RBC evaluation may or may not include reticulocyte count.
- Evaluation of platelets: platelet count; may or may not include mean platelet volume (MPV) and/or platelet distribution width (PDW)
The three types of cells evaluated by the CBC include:
White Blood Cells
There are five different types of WBCs, also called leukocytes, that the body uses to maintain a healthy state and to fight infections or other causes of injury. They are neutrophils, lymphocytes, basophils, eosinophils, and monocytes. They are present in the blood at relatively stable numbers. These numbers may temporarily shift higher or lower depending on what is going on in the body. For instance, an infection can stimulate the body to produce a higher number of neutrophils to fight off bacterial infection. With allergies, there may be an increased number of eosinophils. An increased number of lymphocytes may be produced with a viral infection. In certain disease states, such as leukemia, abnormal (immature or mature) white cells rapidly multiply, increasing the WBC count.
Red Blood Cells
Red blood cells, also called erythrocytes, are produced in the bone marrow and released into the bloodstream as they mature. They contain hemoglobin, a protein that transports oxygen throughout the body. The typical lifespan of an RBC is 120 days; thus the bone marrow must continually produce new RBCs to replace those that age and disintegrate or are lost through bleeding. A number of conditions can affect the production of new RBCs and/or their lifespan, in addition to those conditions that may result in significant bleeding. The CBC determines the number of RBCs and amount of hemoglobin present, the proportion of blood made up of RBCs (hematocrit), and whether the population of RBCs appears to be normal. RBCs normally are uniform with minimal variations in size and shape; however, significant variations can occur with conditions such as vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies, iron deficiency, and with a variety of other conditions. If there are insufficient normal RBCs present, a person is said to have anemia and may have symptoms such as fatigue and weakness. Much less frequently, there may be too many RBCs in the blood (erythrocytosis or polycythemia). In extreme cases, this can interfere with the flow of blood through the small veins and arteries.
Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are special cell fragments that play an important role in normal blood clotting. A person who does not have enough platelets may be at an increased risk of excessive bleeding and bruising. The CBC measures the number and size of platelets present.
Significant abnormalities in one or more of the blood cell populations can indicate the presence of one or more conditions. Typically other tests are performed to help determine the cause of abnormal results. Often, this requires visual confirmation by examining a blood smear under a microscope. A trained laboratorian can evaluate the appearance and physical characteristics of the blood cells such as size, shape and color, noting any abnormalities that may be present. Any additional information is noted and reported to the doctor. This information gives the health practitioner additional clues as to the cause of abnormal CBC results.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm or from a fingerstick (for children and adults) or heelstick (for infants).
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.

In a reunion poised to set the Maldivian waves alight, surf legends Tom Curren and Martin 'Pottz' Potter are the two latest World Champions to join Mark 'Occy' Occhilupo in the line up for Four Seasons Maldives Surfing Champions Trophy 2012 (www.surfingchampionstrophy.com).
Hosted in conjunction with luxury surf pioneers Tropicsurf, the boutique event with a twist sees six ex-world champions battle it out on single-fin, twin-fin and triple-fin boards in a US$25,000 showdown for the ultimate crown. And with this year's event so far reuniting three of the '80s card-carrying 'Big Four', the twists are set to become a whole lot bigger.
American Tom Curren almost defies introduction. Three-time world champion, true soul surfer, retro aficionado and all-round enigma, Curren is one of Kelly Slater's only surf idols. Emulated the world over since the mid-'80s, his unparalleled style and quiet, unassuming nature has made him one of the sport's most revered icons. In the 1985-86 season of the ASP, in one of the greatest heats ever, he defeated nemesis Mark Occhilupo at Bells Beach to clinch his first world crown, going on to take two further titles in 1986 and 1990.
Renowned for eschewing the limelight, Curren couldn't be more delighted to be squaring up to his long-term rivals once more. "This is the kind of trip I've been wanting to do for a long time!"
he said. "Surfing with Occy and Pottz, and staying at Four Seasons Kuda Huraa, it's like a dream come true."
Also hoping to make his mark in the Maldives crystal waters is English-born, South African-raised Martin Potter. Accredited with supercharging the surf culture with his very own brand of 'cool', prodigy Pottz set competitive surfing alight when he made the finals of two major events aged just 15 years old. One of the pioneers of 'tow-in' surfing, Pottz was also renowned for his competition aerial moves, 360s and inventive 'rock-n-roll' manoeuvres. In the late '80s he was widely regarded as the best freesurfer on the planet – an accolade he cemented by becoming ASP World Champion in 1989. He spent a record 14 seasons in the world's Top 16, showcasing an almost unheard of style that was as fluid and powerful as it was radical, and utterly thrilling to watch.
Pottz is particularly looking forward to the challenge of the competition's unique triple-discipline approach. "I love the concept," he commented. "It already sounds like the highlight trip of the year!"
Billed as 'the world's most luxurious surfing event', the Surfing Champions Trophy is hosted aboard Four Seasons Explorer – the Maldives ultimate surf vessel – with all competitors, judges and spectators taking up residence on Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa's paradisiacal private coral island for the duration of the event.
Guests booking Kuda Huraa's all-inclusive four- or seven-night Champions Trophy package – available from August 27 to September 2, 2012 only – can get right on top of the action with competition day passes aboard the vessel plus three half-day surfing passes with Tropicsurf. Back on land, they'll also get to rub shoulders with their surfing heroes and experience a level of intimacy and camaraderie unique in competition surfing. Who'll fill the last three places in this year's line up? Watch this space!

Limited day passes will be available (at a fee) for non-package guests/members of the public to view the event from Four Seasons Explorer. Call + 960 66 00 888 for enquiries and rates.

City guide Brig
The most important information, excursions, events and much more.
A printed version for the road.
Download (PDF)
The lovely old town with its stately houses, cosy inns and hotels will tempt you to linger awhile. Lively Bahnhofstrasse is great for shopping, and the Stockalper Palace in Brig is one of the most important baroque palaces in Switzerland.
The history of Brig is closely linked with the Simplon Pass, one of the most beautiful alpine passes which starts immediately beyond the city gates. Napoleon built a road through the Simplon Pass in the 19th century to move his armies, thus creating the first man-made road in the Alps.
Brig is a perfect starting point for an excursion to Zermatt or Saas-Fee, for example. It also lies along the route of the famous Glacier Express, which links Zermatt and St. Moritz. Going south, Brig is the most northerly border station for the Simplon railway tunnel to Italy. To the east, you pass through Goms, and the Furka Pass leads to central Switzerland; the Grimsel Pass into the Bernese Oberland; and the Nufenen Pass into the Ticino.
Blatten above Naters near Brig, with its timber houses burnt a deep brown by the sun, is an authentic little Valais village. From here, a cable railway ascends the Belalp to a sun-drenched, traffic-free high plateau with the 'Families Welcome' seal of quality. Its attractions include the Massa Trail and Gorge, the Aletsch climbing path across the reservoir and 'suonen walks' along the historic Valais irrigation channels.
There are over 150 km of marked hiking trails on the Simplon and Lötschberg and in the Aletsch region. Cycle and mountain bike routes also abound. Experts will enjoy the tour to the Rosswald viewing plateau. The Brig Baths, one of the biggest open-air thermal centres in Switzerland, are thoroughly exhilarating.
On the Belalp above Blatten there are eleven lift facilities dotted all round the Hohstock (3100m) and 60 kilometres of sometimes quite challenging pistes, where there is guaranteed snow. The biggest attraction is the Hohstock ski tunnel: the gateway to a white paradise for deep snow skiers and freeriders.
There are small skiing areas near Brig on the sunny terrace of Rosswald and in Rothwald on the Simplon road. The ski areas of the Aletsch are also close by as is Goms, a veritable paradise for cross-country skiers.

GARETH DUNCAN watched the Wallabies capitalise on an ill-disciplined Argentine display to secure a 25-19 victory in Rosario.
This was the Pumas' last chance to secure victory in the Rugby Championship.
Many believed that this encounter was their best chance to do so as they faced a weakened and wounded Wallabies outfit … one low on confidence after a demoralising defeat against the Springboks in Pretoria last weekend.
However, Argentina were central in their own downfall as they delivered their poorest overall performance of the season.
They lacked the intensity and urgency shown in their previous Tests. Their attacking play was uninspiring, and their errant defence cost them any chance of victory against Australia, who didn't fare much better.
This will be remembered as the worst Test of the tournament.
Fullback Mike Harris played a telling role for the visitors as he kicked 20 points to secure the win.
Most of those points came in the first half, which proved to be a kicking contest between the two teams. Argentina were guilty of poor discipline throughout the opening 40, which saw Harris kick five penalties to build Australia a comfortable buffer.
Referee Craig Joubert lost his patience with the hosts by the 25th minute, and veteran lock Patricio Albacete was sent to the sin bin moments after his team received a final warning moments before.
The Pumas remained within reach as flyhalf Juan Martin Hernandez kicked three penalties. The Wallabies led 15-9 at the break.
Wing Digby Ioane then landed the killer blow in the 65th minute.
After a third quarter which saw substandard play from both sides, a smart backline move set up Ioane's rush through a big gap in the Argentine guard for an easy rush to the whitewash. Harris converted, and went on to kick his sixth three-pointer soon thereafter.
The Wallabies were reduced to 14 men in the 74th minute as reserve scrumhalf Brett Sheehan was yellow carded after spending 60 seconds on the park.
The Pumas then secured a lifeline at the death as replacement wing Juan Imhoff powered over, which reduced the deficit to six.
But Argentina failed in their pursuit for what would've been a match-winning try in the final movement of general play. They lost the ball after a couple phases, to the relief of under-fire Wallabies coach Robbie Deans.
The Pumas will have to wait until 2013 to achieve their first Rugby Championship victory. However, they proved to be worthy contenders during their first tournament run against the giants of union, and could likely end up winners sometime during the next campaign if they can continue their rapid rise and learn from this year's lessons.
Here's hoping the outing in Rosario was a once-off disappointment.

Hey everyone,
Wishing you all a late Happy Holidays, hope your seasons been good. As for me, my seasons been great so far. I finished the semester strong with a 4.0, and headed to Telluride for the first World Cup of the season. I was pretty nervous because I had to miss the training camp to study for finals, but all went well and I finished in 9th and was the only US girl to qualify. The team event went good as well, I got to race with one of my best friends Jackie Hernandez. It was snowing pretty hard and the conditions we're rough, we got bumped out of finals by the Swiss team. We came back to win the consolation round landing us in 5th place overall. After telluride I headed home to spend the holidays with my family in Salt Lake. The Salt Lake area had a couple good dumps and I was lucky enough to get a solid 10 days of powder riding. I'm now in Colorado to do some training and catch up with old friends. On the 20th of January I head to Canada to compete in World Championships. Wish me luck! Hope everyone has had as good of a season as I have. Keep it up!

After spending a summer doing field work in south Florida, where rainstorms are frequent and unpredictable, I realized that my old rain jacket just wasn't cutting it. It was quite unpleasant to wear during heavy, extended rains -- the bulky material didn't breathe, leaving me drenched inside.I found an amazing deal for the Marmot Minimalist on Moosejaw almost a year ago. This baby has kept me dry through everything from light drizzles to tornado conditions. The GoreTex fabric is great! The jacket is lightweight, and nicely cut. The hood is well shaped to keep rain out. Overall, an awesome jacket that can easily be stashed in the bottom of a back -- just in case!
My sister wanted it for her birthday so I bought it.In electric blue.I am not so big of the fan of MARMOT, wanna be The North Face.My sis loved it but said 200$ it was way too pricey for that kind of jacket. I think so too.Jacket is good but not that great. In colder temperature gets stiff, hard, and squeaks.
This jacket is simple but does the job. Nice lightweight goretex that stays dry like it should. The zippers aren't seam-sealed the way goretex jackets usually are, but this hasn't proven problematic to me (yet). I have it in blue which unfortunately shows dirt easily. Other than that, love it!
I LOVE THIS JACKET! It is so light and easy to wear. It folds up tiny for traveling or in my purse to jog after work. I've been in pouring rain with it many times and never gotten wet. The adjustable hood works perfectly to keep the hood on without looking goofy or obstructing your peripheral vision. Great jacket...I would buy it again and again!
I have this jacket in blue. The color is vibrant and fun and the gore-tex lives up to its name. But I find this jacket to run a bit on the larger side and feels really bulky. Which is fine if you need lots of space for layering and don't care about how it looks. I wear it mostly around town in rainy Seattle, usually with a fleece or down sweater underneath and it still feels too big. I like that it is long, but it is just too boxy. I am 5'7", 130lbs and wear size small. I might need to exchange for a xsmall, but the arms might be too short then. Overall, not that satisfied.
great jacket with alot of versatility very warm but super thin so you dont end up being weighed down at all. the gore tex is amazing. make sure to wash and put it through the rinse cycle twice also you have to put it in the dryer on low heat it takes heat to activate the waterproofing in the jacket. i absolutely lovvveee this jacket!
This jacket looks cute, is completely waterproof and is good for just about anything! It fits well, and for me, is just big enough to wear a sweater underneath. I am confident that the next time I go hiking, if starts to rain, I will still be a happy camper :) This jacket makes it super easy to forget that it is raining outside. Again, I love it! Marmot is a lovely brand and gore-Tex is the best!
I'm a year-round bike commuter, and this is my favorite winter jacket ever. It's perfect at shielding me from the fierce Chicago wind/sleet/rain/snow. I throw a performance fleece under it and it keeps me toasty warm while I bike. It's thin, yes, but when biking you really don't need that much torso insulation. The armpit zippers are a lifesaver. I'm 5'6", 150lbs and the Medium is snug, but not so snug that I want to size up. It's a surprisingly cute rain jacket, and so comfortable that it's really versatile. If you end up buying this, do yourself a favor and wear it on non-rainy days, too!
This jacket is perfect for those of you who want to stay dry while on the trails but dont want to shlep pounds and pounds of gear! I purchased this jacket for a backcountry hiking trip through Yellowstone and it worked a treat. The jacket is durable, light weight, and keeps me dry while not making me sweat. Just be warned, like most Marmot clothing, the minimalist jacket does run a little small, so if your planning on being able to layer underneath this I would recommend sizing up! I'm so happy with this jacket that I plan on upgrading my husband to the men's version very soon!!
I purchased this jacket to go backpacking in Europe. It's extremely lightweight and compact, which makes it perfect for backpacking. Water and wind proof, and semi warm. I throw a fleece on under it in kinda cold weather, and a lightweight down under it in snowy weather. Zipper is also nice and heavy duty, I don't see it breaking anytime soon, if ever. There's never been a time I wasn't happy with it. It's also been around the world with me and still in perfect condition.
This Minimalist jacket is well made.True to size according to the size chart.I'm 5'7" 128lbs and the small fits beautifully with room to layer-not for oversized guy sweaters under, but for quality baselayers(I can fit a midweight and expidition weight(at the same time)under it comfortably.It's made to be tailored so there's not excess material hanging around.That also makes it look great too- added bonus!The only thing I wish were different is the flap over the zipper-I wish the zippers were laminated w/out a need for the flap.Still love it though.Also, this is longer than most.It goes to my hips or smidge longer.
I tried this jacket in size small. I am 5'4" 123# and it was a bit too slim fitting for me. The medium arrived today and it's great. This Gore-tex jacket is designed for a woman, tapered in a the waist for a trim fit, but still plenty of room for a fleece underneath when necessary or not. I know here in Ohio I will get a lot of use out of a rain jacket!! Ha Ha Thanks Moosejaw. Very quick shipping!

Berman-Gund Laboratory for the Study of
Retinal Degenerations
Eric A. Pierce, M.D., Ph.D.
Inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs) such as retinitis pigmentosa are some of the most common causes of inherited blindness. The Berman-Gund Laboratory for the Study of Retinal Degenerations conducts multidisciplinary research on these disorders. Our researchers have helped discover more than 20 of the genes which harbor mutations that cause these disorders, and are currently exploring new methods of treatment including gene augmentation therapy.
Active research projects in the laboratory include:
- Genetic and genomic studies to identify additional genes associated with IRDs
- Generating and studying animal and cell models of disease of help define the mechanisms that lead to photoreceptor cell death
- Developing and testing gene and genetic therapies for specific genetic forms of retinal degeneration
- Investigating the possibility that people with different genetic sub-types of retinitis pigmentosa respond differently to vitamin A supplementation

I made this video because some divisions will be playing Iroquois for the masters so I figured there should be a video of Iroquois too. Unfortunately I played poorly and probably made it look tougher than it really is. Enjoy.
