Were you looking instead for acetylcholinesterase testing of amniotic fluid for neural tube defects?
At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
- To determine if you have been exposed to and/or poisoned by certain organophosphate chemicals found in pesticides; to monitor cholinesterase levels if you work with pesticides
- Sometimes to identify individuals with inherited pseudocholinesterase deficiency before they are given anesthesia with the muscle relaxant succinylcholine or to help determine the cause of prolonged apnea after surgical anesthesia
When to Get Tested?
- When you have symptoms of pesticide poisoning or on a regular basis when you are at risk of exposure to organophosphates, such as through work in the agriculture industry and/or frequent use of organophosphate insecticides
- When you or a close relative have experienced prolonged apnea and muscle paralysis after use of the drug succinylcholine for a surgical operation
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Cholinesterases are enzymes that are involved in helping the nervous system to function properly. There are two separate cholinesterase enzymes in the body: (1) acetylcholinesterase, found in red blood cells as well as in the lungs, spleen, nerve endings, and the gray matter of the brain, and (2) pseudocholinesterase (butyrylcholinesterase), found in the serum as well as the liver, muscle, pancreas, heart, and white matter of the brain. Cholinesterase tests measure the activity of these enzymes.
Acetylcholinesterase is involved in transmission of nerve impulses by breaking down acetylcholine, a chemical that helps to transmit signals across nerve endings. A decrease in the activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase results in excess acetylcholine at nerve endings. This can lead to overstimulation of nerves within body tissues and organs. Pseudochlinesterase is involved in processing and metabolizing drugs.
The two most common reasons for testing activity levels in the blood are:
- Organophosphate pesticide exposure. Insecticides containing organophosphates can inhibit cholinesterase and pseudocholinesterase activity. Symptoms can be severe with acute exposure to these pesticides or can gradually appear with chronic exposure. Absorption can occur by inhalation, ingestion, or contact with the skin. Testing red blood cell acetylcholinesterase and serum pseudocholinesterase may be done to detect acute poisoning or to monitor those with occupational exposure to these chemicals, such a farm workers or those who work with industrial chemicals.
- Inherited pseudocholinesterase deficiency. Some individuals have an inherited deficiency due to a genetic variant of the enzyme pseudocholinesterase. This enzyme is used by the body to inactivate (metabolize) succinylcholine, a muscle relaxant that is commonly used during surgery. People who have low levels or defective pseudocholinesterase may experience prolonged effects of the drug, with protracted muscle paralysis and apnea following anesthesia. In addition, those who are homozygous for genetic variants may be at greater risk of adverse effects than those who are heterozygous. Pseudocholinesterase testing can be performed prior to surgery on those with a family history of prolonged apnea after use of succinylcholine to determine if they are at risk of complications related to this drug.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
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.

Only 30 percent of Orange County's public schools met the 2012 federal No Child Left Behind testing targets, according to figures released Thursday.
The rest were labeled as failing because they could not keep pace with more rigorous achievement standards required by the much-maligned federal law. Last year, when testing targets were lower, 39 percent of schools met all testing targets.
In contrast, 85 percent of local schools reached testing targets under the state's Academic Performance Index, a slight decrease from 2011.
Both the federal and state systems use the same standardized test scores to rate schools, but the formulas differ.
"I would not say 70 percent of our schools are failing," county Superintendent Al Mijares said. "No Child Left Behind is the current law and schools have to adhere to it. Schools must continue to meet or exceed these standards. But the way the law measures student achievement does not reflect the gains our schools make each year."
Oxford Academy in Cypress earned an API score of 995, the highest in the county and tied for fifth highest in the state.
Federal targets
In California, No Child Left Behind looks primarily at the California Standards Tests that students take in spring to determine whether schools are making "adequate yearly progress."
This year, between 77 percent and 79 percent of students in each school needed to be proficient in English and math. The proficiency targets rose 10 percentage points from last year. By 2014, 100 percent of students are expected to be proficient, a standard educators frequently criticize as impossible.
The federal government expects schools to reach testing goals each year for all groups, which include English learners, low-income students and different ethnic/racial groups. Each year, many schools fail because not enough English learners can pass English tests or too few special education students pass other tests.
Locally, 181 schools met the proficiency targets for every student group, while 415 missed one or more targets.
Oak Creek Elementary in Irvine failed, but would have passed if just one more English learner would have passed the English test. Schroeder Elementary in Westminster needed four more special education students to test proficient in math for the campus to pass.
"We don't look at this as a failure. Great things are going on at Oak Creek in every single classroom," Irvine Unified spokesman Ian Hanigan said. "Universal proficiency is a noble goal and something we continue to work to achieve. But these growing standards will put 100 percent of schools underwater in two years."
Only schools that receive federal funding for low-income students, about 349 in Orange County, are subject to sanctions for not making adequate yearly progress
Locally, 261 schools now face sanctions for missing testing goals, up from 178 last year. Sanctions include required tutoring, allowing parents to transfer students to better performing schools, a change of principals, and state takeover, depending on how many years a school misses targets.
California will learn over the next few weeks whether it will receive a waiver from the No Child Left Behind requirements. If granted, the state's struggling schools would be freed from having to implement these sanctions beginning in 2013-14.
State targets
The API ranges from 200 to 1,000, and is calculated from state test scores and graduation rates for high schools.

Abroad fundraisers typically don't give donors the opportunity to see where their money is going.
Pricey mission trips are one way to accomplish the feat — but students at Kinston High School are using an alternative.
Five International Baccalaureate students came face-to-face with Nicaraguan students via video chat on Thursday, seeing exactly who their efforts would affect.
"It puts a face to the cause you're helping out," said Kinston senior Alicia Poole.
Through Change for Children, Kinston's IB program looks to raise $1,000 by February to send to American-Nicaraguan School students and youth from the Bosawas Biosphere Reserve forest in Managua, Nicaragua. The money will fund the school's construction and the Bosawas community garden.
The globalization of food was the discussion point during the video conference, which included three other American high schools and one Canadian one.
Kinston High used its Polycom system, an interactive learning tool that uses webcams, to peer into a small piece of Central America.
Nicaraguans sat in their under-furnished classrooms and spoke into the camera to tell the other students about their community's poor agriculture and water conditions. The river — their way of life — is polluted by sewage and trash, and their land is vulnerable to climate change, the students said.
Ruth Anderson, Kinston High School Cyber Campus facilitator, said taking the students global will afford some perspective.
"Until you've been involved with one of these, I don't think kids know what it's about," she said. "We're hoping to broaden them (and) to help them to think outside of their comfort zones."
Fundraising, she said, was the first foreign step because they aren't used to asking others for money.
The five students sold hot chocolate at football games and soccer matches this semester. Originally, their overall goal was $400, but after raising $380 from those sales alone, they decided to raise the bar to $1,000 by February.
They find sponsors for the products, advertise and host the fundraisers themselves. During basketball season, they plan to sell treats during games.
"They're doing all the work," said Anderson.
She said the video conference is the only way for the local students to connect to Nicaragua during the four-month project.
When the domestic students shared what chain restaurants they enjoy most, they were surprised to learn how limited the Nicaraguans food choices were.
"They said chicken, rice and beans was a luxury for them and we eat stuff like that every day," said Kinston senior IB student VeQuain Joyner. "We shouldn't take what we have for granted in the U.S."
The three other IB students involved in the project are seniors Dan Hoang, Brittany Roberts and Christopher Bell Jr., who was the group's spokesperson during the conference.
Jessika Morgan can be reached at 252-559-1078 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @JessikaMorgan.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – For the third straight year, Miami University junior Tori Paterra clinched a spot in the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships by qualifying in the javelin at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds Saturday at North Carolina State A&T University's Irwin Belk Track at Aggie Stadium. Senior Layne Baggett concluded her tremendous RedHawk career on Saturday, as well, while freshman Amelia Strickler got her first taste of the East Prelims.
Paterra (Elizabeth, Pa.) becomes just the third RedHawk in program history to make the NCAA Championships three times, along with Andrea Kremer (2001, 2003-04) and Sarah Landau (2005-07). Paterra would be the first Miamian to ever qualify four times if she were to make it next year. She qualified this year on her third and final attempt of the first round Saturday. Stuck in 23rd place heading into her last throw, and needing to finish in the top 16 to move on to the finals, Paterra rifled the javelin 47.22m/154-11 to make the finals in ninth. After another three throws for the top 16, Paterra was in 10th, punching her ticket, along with the rest of the top 12, to Eugene, Ore., where the NCAA Championships will be held June 5-8.
Paterra, who entered the East Prelims seeded eighth with her school-record throw of 50.51m/165-8, will compete at the NCAA Championships at the University of Oregon's historic Hayward Field on Wednesday, June 5 at 8:15 p.m. ET/5:15 p.m. PT (local). Last year, she earned First-Team All-America honors by finishing seventh at the NCAA Championships, after a fifth-place showing at the East Prelims. Paterra is the lone representative from the Mid-American Conference in the javelin at the NCAA Championships, while Penn State's Lauren Kenney posted the top throw in the East Prelims of 54.02m/177-3. The top 12 from the West Preliminary Rounds also head to Eugene for a 24-woman NCAA Championship field.
In her last race as a RedHawk, Baggett (Pittsburgh, Pa.) finished 17th (out of 24) in the 100m hurdles quarterfinals in 13.42, after breaking the school record in Friday's first round, when she ran to 13.28 to qualify 14th. Her time Saturday is the seventh-fastest in school history, five of which Baggett owns. She was sixth in her heat, while the top three in each of the three heats and the next three best times advanced to the NCAA Championships, as 12 runners moved on, led by a pair of Clemson Tigers. She was the top MAC hurdler in Saturday's quarterfinals among the two that made it, but missed advancing by 13-hundredths of a second. Baggett finishes her Miami career with three school records (60m hurdles, 100m hurdles and 4x100m relay) and is a four-time MAC Champion, including three times in the 100m hurdles. She also improved on her showing from last year's East Prelims, when she was 20th in the quarterfinals.
Strickler (Bay Village, Ohio) placed sixth in flight one out of 12 and was 39th out of 48 overall in the shot put with her throw of 13.91m/45-7.75, which she recorded on her first attempt. She improved by six spots from her seed as she entered 45th with her toss of 14.81m/48-7.25, which ranks her third in school history. She was fourth among the seven MAC competitors in the field Saturday, while the top 12 overall advanced to the NCAA Championships, led by Indiana State's Felisha Johnson (18.27m/59-11.25). Kent State's Danniel Thomas also qualified in seventh as the lone MAC thrower to advance.
Paterra is the only RedHawk to advance to the NCAA Championships among the five that qualified for the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds. For the remainder of Miami's team, the 2013 season is complete. Check back with MURedHawks.com for complete coverage of Paterra at the NCAA Championships.

Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
Foreign Group.
5-7 pounds.
Singapuras are much smaller than average. In fact, this is the smallest cat breed in the world.
The only accepted color for Singapuras is golden ivory with sepia brown ticking.
Singapuras have very short, silky coats that lie close to their bodies.
This breed is very loving and affectionate. Singapuras are also very intelligent and curious, and will often attempt to assist their owners with various tasks such as cooking or typing at the computer. Although relatively undemanding, these adorable cats love attention and affection.
Country of Origin:
The Singapura originated in Singapore where it descended from a native cat breed. Singapuras first arrived in North America when an American couple brought home three of these cats and began to breed them. Still quite rare, Singapuras were only introduced to the Cat Fanciers Association in 1981. This breed is now considered to be a "national living monument" in the country of Singapore.
The name "Singapura" is the name for Singapore in the local Malay language and means "Lion City." Additional names for this breed include Drain Cat and Kucinta.
Singapuras are good-natured cats that love to interact with their owners. While Singapuras do best with a single person, they do get along well with other pets. These cats are also very adaptable and can adjust to different living situations.
Singapuras are highly intelligent and trainable cats. However, due to their intelligence, owners must remain alert while training these cats to ensure that the Singapura does not end up taking the upper hand.
Singapuras are very active cats that like to be involved in their owner's activities.
While not as demanding as some other breeds, Singapuras still require plenty of human interaction and affection. These lovable and curious cats may tend to attach themselves to one person in particular, but they also get along well with children who treat them gently and with other pets. While this breed adjusts well to different living situations, it's always a good idea to have another cat in the house as a companion for your Singapura.
No breeders listed at this time.

Hi Guys,
I am hoping you can give me a little help. I am giving a talk on atheism this Thursday. I have the it completed and rehearsed. I have decided to pump it up a little with a couple of Harris' quotes:
"The core of science is not a mathematical model—it is intellectual honesty."
"I know of no society in human history that ever suffered because its people became too desirous of evidence in support of their core beliefs."
I have found a gazillion websites that refer to these and attribute them to Sam Harris, but I can't find the references. I really like these quotes, and I feel they really hit at the heart of the matter, but I don't want to use them without proper citations.
Does anyone have a clue where and when, or in what publication these can be found? Or if you are reading this Sam, perhaps you can just confirm you said them ( I would think a personal note from Sam Harris would do the trick!)
Thanks everyone!

Home > Catalog/Schedule > Schedule of Classes > Hybrid Classes
Schedule of classes --
More and more courses are being offered in a "hybrid" format, blending face-to-face teaching and online learning. Depending on the subject, the amount of Web-based instruction ranges from 30 to 70%, with the remainder taking place in a traditional classroom setting. Most hybrid courses use "Blackboard"—you can log on to get your Blackboard account at http://tac.nvcc.edu/blackboard/. A reliable Internet connection is necessary. If you do not have your own computer, you can use one of NOVA's on-campus computers.
Hybrid courses are NOT "condensed" courses. The online portion of a hybrid course requires the same number of "contact hours" as face-to-face class time.

A recent phenomenon in Paris are Broadway shows coming to town.
In the past few years, plays like Grease, The Lion King, and West Side Story (and, bizarrely, Anne Frank, Le Musicial) have arrived amidst a fanfare of happy-go-lucky billboards in the métro. I don't think the words "infectious enthusiasm" or "feel-good musical" are part of the French vocabulary, but pretty soon they might be.
So don't be surprised if you come across a Parisian whistling "Greased Lightning" or "Beauty School Dropout" on your next visit.
I love musicals as much as the next guy (well, 10% of them, anyways…) so when I saw an ad for La Mélodie du Bonheur, I immediately wanted to call Romain to see if I should get tickets.

More cameras
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
The K-S1 is Pentax's latest entry-level DSLR featuring a 20.1Mp APS-C CMOS sensor and Anti Aliasing filter simulator. Targeted towards consumers taking their first plunge into DSLR photography, the K-S1 boasts a compact design, flashing LED lights, illuminated rear controls and choice of 12 colours. With the sensor scores in, lets see how the K-S1 compares to the competition.
With the 2014 World Cup in Brazil approaching, this is the time manufacturers with serious interests in professional sports start revealing new cameras and lenses to selected press agencies. Both Canon and Nikon are rumored to be fielding prototype professional-level APS-C bodies during the tournament for testing. However, rival Sony appears to have stolen a march by introducing the SLT Alpha 77 II ahead of the games.
Nikon's incremental revisions to their entry-level D3000 series cameras means the latest model, the Nikon D3300 can compete with most other models in the range and should prove tempting against rival offerings. Read on to find out how the 24-Mpix sans AA filter D3300 performs.
Although the Pentax K-5 II and K-5 IIs have now been replaced by the Pentax K-3, we've analyzed the two models with a range of lenses from both Pentax and third-party makers and thought the results would be of interest to our readers. The information is available online but we taken the opportunity to offer a brief overview of the best performing models. Read on to see how well the lenses perform together on the two cameras.
Continuing our series of evaluation of lens systems we've assessed a modest range of Pentax and third-party lenses for their optical quality on the firm's new flagship Pentax K-3 model. As the replacement for the K-5 II and K-5 IIs, the Pentax K-3 has a new higher pixel density 24-Mpix sensor without an AA filter, and is a promising platform for lens evaluation. Read on to find out which models perform best, and which, if any, that should be avoided.
Continuing our series of evaluation of lens systems we've assessed a modest range of Pentax and third-party lenses for their optical quality on the firm's new flagship Pentax K-3 model. As the replacement for the K-5 II and K-5 IIs, the Pentax K-3 has a new higher pixel density 24-Mpix sensor without an AA filter, and is a promising platform for lens evaluation. Read on to find out which models perform best, and which, if any, that should be avoided.
After the success of the 16-Mpix K-5II and K-5IIs without AA filter, Pentax has replaced the pair with a new flagship model, the K-3, with a 24-Mpix sensor boasting a user-selectable AA filter for control over moiré and sharpness, depending on the situation. Read on to find out how this unique sensor performs?
Released in April 2013, the Ricoh GR goes by the tagline of "Everything is big, except the size". It points clearly to the raison d'être of this camera – to be a compact model with a large sensor with the aim of offering DSLR-like performance without the size and weight associated with them. As with several models in this niche, it seems to hark back to days gone by with a retro style. While this impacts the versatility of the camera, it's much easier to make a high quality prime lens that can extract the most from the large, 16megapixel APS-C sensor tucked away inside. Within this sector we've seen some very good cameras through the labs in recent months, so the GR has got stiff competition.
Launched in March 2013 the $1097 Coolpix A is Nikon's first compact camera with an APC-S sensor and features the same 16.2-megapixel DX sensor from Nikon's D7000 DSLR but with its optical low-pass filter removed. Utilizing a fixed NIKKOR 18.5mm f/2.8 prime lens (equivalent to 28mm in 35mm terms) the Nikon Coolpix A has the right ingredients for great image quality so let's see how it performs.
Although the new Nikon D7100 looks fairly similar to its predecessor (the popular Nikon D7000), Nikon has made some significant changes under the hood that belie the surface similarity. The D7100 not only includes a higher-resolution CMOS sensor, but even more significantly, the company chose to use a sensor without an anti-alias filter for the first time on a non-full-frame DSLR. While this should enable better sharpness and resolution, it may also result in more moiré patterns in some images.
Hybrid is a word used both positively and negatively, quite appropriate for the photographic industry. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 wears this badge: "Hybrid", a mix of system and compact. It has a range of lenses spanning 7mm to 300mm (equivalent to 14mm up to 600mm in full frame 35mm) and a body that is not much bigger than a compact camera. Should it wear it with pride? Yes, it should…
After the introduction of the entry-level 24Mpix D3200 early last year it seemed inevitable that the rest of the firm's APS-C (DX) range would be refreshed with the same sensor. While the gestation of the new 24Mpix D5200 has taken longer than most people could of reasonably predicted, the sensor is, in fact, a new design and the first from a different vendor for Nikon. We've recently put the new camera through our labs, read on to see how the new sensor performs.
Announced in September 2012 along with the Pentax K-5 II, the Pentax K-5 IIs is an almost identical camera with the exception that its anti-aliasing filter, used on the K-5 II to minimise the unwelcome effect of moiré, has been removed. But does removing the filter impact on the outstanding DxOMark Camera Sensor Ratings achieved by the K-5 II? We dissect the K-5 IIs Camera Sensor Ratings to find out.

Drugs, freezing temperatures and random attacks in the middle of the night. Camden's homeless share what it's like to live in the nation's poorest and most dangerous city.
Aaron Howe is the "mayor" of one of Camden, N.J.'s "tent cities." Though there was no formal vote, he has taken charge of gathering supplies, like food, clothing and propane from local aid organizations and distributing them among residents. He also sets the rules and decides who's allowed to stay and who needs to go.
Howe arrived in the tent city two years ago after his 18-year-old trucking business collapsed as a result of the financial crisis.
"It's just a place to call home until you get out of here," he says.
Watch: Braving the cold in Camden's tent city
Living conditions are far from safe, however, and some homeless people in nearby tent cities are known for picking fights.
"I was pistol-whipped and everything else. They fractured my skull," he said. "There are guys out here who have guns, there's guys who have baseball bats, there's guys who have rods with spikes sticking out of them -- it's just a matter of knowing who to watch out for."
NEXT: 'I hate to lose'

Network: CBS
Episodes: 13 (hour)
Seasons: One
TV show dates: February 26, 2013 — May 14, 2013
Series status: Cancelled
Performers include: Theo James, Chi McBride, Kevin Alejandro, Bonnie Somerville, Holt McCallany and Stella Maeve.
TV show description:
This dramatic series follows the fast rise (from age 26 to 34) of an ambitious cop who becomes the youngest police commissioner in the history of New York City — and the high personal and professional cost he pays to achieve it.
As Walter William Clark Jr. (Theo James) is interviewed for a story about his career, he looks back on his hard-fought journey from street kid to the most powerful man in law enforcement.
After only three years as a beat cop, Clark's heroics on the job make him bold enough to ask for and receive the unheard-of promotion to homicide detective, angering the members of his new department who are eager to see him fail.
Clark is partnered with and mentored by experienced veteran Detective Don Owen (Chi McBride), a man just two years shy of retirement.
He would rather team with First Grade Detective Christian Arroyo (Kevin Alejandro), the alpha dog in the squad who's just as ambitious as Clark — but without a moral center. Arroyo's partner is Detective Deborah McKenzie (Bonnie Somerville), a tough third-generation cop and the only female detective in the unit.
Also on the team is Detective Joe Diaco (Holt McCallany), a well-connected officer with tremendous resources (which Clark might find useful). Though laser-focused on moving up the ladder, Clark's soft spot is serving as the sole caregiver and supporter of his sister, Agnes (Stella Maeve) — a teenager demonstrating increasingly dangerous behavior.
Keenly observant and politically savvy, "Golden Boy" Clark bases his career decisions solely on his need to succeed as quickly as possible, and he'll find that his epic journey will be filled with consequences.
Series Finale
Episode #13 — Next Question
Limited by his suspension and relegated to desk duty, Clark delves into Owen's cold case in which the murder investigation of a construction worker, Jozef Dworaczyk, was compromised by the events of 9/11 happening simultaneously. Andrew Lightstone, Owen's partner and mentor, was with him on the case and was called up to the North Towers leaving Owen to work the case on his own. That was the last time Owen saw Lightstone.
Clark notes the lack of shell casings and no reports of shots fired to speculate that a contract hit man could have been used. He and Owen confront the drug dealer whose crack house served as the crime scene about the similar way in which his rivals were killed, and the dealer reveals the name of the hit man he suspects had targeted him but mistook Dworaczyk for him instead.
When they track down the hit man, Owen coerces him to confess to fifteen murders including Dworaczyk's and is rewarded with a promotion. Clark is perturbed when he discovers that three men were wrongly imprisoned for three of those murders and Commissioner Dowdell tells him to disregard his findings.
Lorraine kicks Arroyo out of the house after she discovers that he's been cheating on her. Meanwhile, Clark's father persuades Agnes to drive away with him and a volatile Deputy Mayor Holbrook confronts Clark and Margot with a gun.

Women's Soccer Takes Physical Contest from Mount Olive
October 5, 2013
by Paul Horner
MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. - A penalty kick goal by Pfeiffer's Kayla Rodriguez in the 27th minute Saturday night proved to be all the Lady Falcons would need to snag a tough road conference win from the Mount Olive Trojans. The win was Pfeiffer's fifth in their last seven contests and they improve to 5-5 overall and 3-2 in Conference Carolinas play. The Trojans fall to 2-7-1 and 0-4 in conference play.
The lone tally of the match for the Lady Falcons came when sophomore Aaliyah Jackson received a through ball inside the Trojans' box with the clock showing 26:14. Once Jackson picked up the feed she made a beautiful first touch on the ball moving nimbly around Mount Olive's goalkeeper Stephanie McCoy. As Jackson moved around McCoy, she was fouled hard by the freshman keeper in the box, resulting in a penalty kick awarded by the official. The goal came when Rodriguez beat McCoy by placing a beautifully struck shot to the left of the Trojans' goalkeeper and in the upper half of the net. The goal was Rodriguez's third of the season.
The match was one of the most physical of the season for the Lady Falcons with three yellow cards presented by the official and 24 total fouls called for both teams. The win goes to senior Natalie Marsh, her second of the season in as many starts. Marsh also recorded her second shutout of the 2013 season following a five save performance. Both squads tallied nine total shots for the match.
The Lady Falcons return to action on Wednesday when they travel to Murfreesboro, N.C. for a 2 p.m. kickoff against Chowan.

The Lindau Institutions
The History of the Lindau Meetings
Held for the first time in 1951 the Lindau Meetings established themselves as a unique platform for the dialogue between different scientific generations. For more than 60 years now Laureates as well as young and promising Young Researchers are meeting once a year in Lindau. Read more...
Annual Reports
Every year the Council and the Foundation publish an Annual Report which provides an in-depth overview of all activities. Read more...
The Council for the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings and the Foundation Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings organise the annual meetings on an honorary basis. Their joint endeavour is to foster the 'Mission Education'.
Countess Bettina Bernadotte af Wisborg is the President of the Council which sets the course for the Lindau Dialogue concept and programme. Internationally accredited scientists from the fields of medicine, physics, chemistry and the economic sciences are members of the council. The work of the council benefits from the commitment of the secretaries of the committees responsible for awarding the Nobel Prizes: at least one of the two scientific co-ordinators of each conference is a member of the institutions that select the Nobel Laureates.
The Foundation was founded in the year 2000 by the council and the Bernadotte family on the initiative of a group of Nobel Laureates. Prof. Dr. h.c. Wolfgang Schürer serves as the Chairman of the Board of the foundation. In addition, joint initiatives regarding the advancement of the Lindau Meetings and the establishment of an international network of academic partners are key priorities. The foundation regards its task as to provide sustainable funding for the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings in the future through an endowment. Meanwhile the foundation conducts outreach projects to safeguard the annual funding.
The Lindau Meetings and the underlying idea of creating a platform to facilitate encounters between Nobel Laureates and the world's best young scientists enjoy widespread support. More than 270 Nobel Laureates are member of the Founders Assembly of the foundation and express – through their membership and their participation in the Lindau Dialogue – their support for the principles of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings. Dignitaries from science, politics and industry have been inaugurated into the foundation's Honorary Senate in recognition of the special commitment they have shown towards scientific excellence and the promotion of young researchers.
The executive secretariat serves the Lindau mission and supports its goals. In organisational terms it belongs to the council and provides a co-ordination mechanism for members of the Lindau Institutions.
One of the key successes of Lindau is bridging cultures and distance and initiating thousands of relationships amongst the world's brightest young scientists.

I am trying to get a better understanding of islam, terrorism and middle east conflict.
I have become aware of much of the critical litterature through sam harris' site, but I am curious what the other side has to say.
Can any of you guys recommend any books / authors that I check out if I want 'the other side of the story'? Or at least if you know what books are generally in good standing among people who oppose Sam's view on islam.
I appreciate it.

|ACGME Accredits New Pediatric Surgery Fellowship at All Children's
A new pediatric surgery fellowship program at All Children's Hospital earned approval from the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), less than a year after a new All Children's Hospital Johns Hopkins Medicine pediatric residency program was accredited.
Led by Paul Danielson, M.D., Medical Director of the Pediatric Surgery Program at ACH, the program joins a small number of pediatric surgery fellowships in the U.S. and Canada.
"Our fellowship will enroll adult surgeons who have already completed seven years of postgraduate training," says Danielson.

GENERIC NAME: lovastatin
BRAND NAME: Mevacor, Altoprev
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Lovastatin belongs to a class of cholesterol-lowering drugs called HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, or, more commonly "statins." Other statins include simvastatin (Zocor), atorvastatin (Lipitor), fluvastatin (Lescol), and rosuvastatin (Crestor). Statins reduce cholesterol by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver (HMG-CoA reductase) that is necessary for the production of cholesterol. In the blood, statins lower total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol) and triglycerides. LDL cholesterol is believed to be an important cause of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (cardiovascular disease). Lowering LDL cholesterol levels slows and may even reverse coronary artery disease. Statins also increase high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ("good" cholesterol). Raising HDL cholesterol levels, like lowering LDL cholesterol, may slow coronary artery disease. The FDA approved lovastatin in August 1987.

Basically you'll need to attempt to delete all the messages twice that are listed from 1969. If the messages are not deleted then just reply to this or shoot me a PM and I'll look into it from the back end and see what I can do.
still wont delete them i had 200 and something now it wont get the last 59 deleted no matter how many times i do it.

I spent basically my entire Saturday engulfed in THIS book (yes, I finished it)... Why am I such a nerd? haha! I only took breaks for a small hike, and eating. But even eating slipped my mind. When all of the sudden my stomach was suffering from hunger pangs, I realized how long it had been since I'd eaten... whoops.
There was something else I took a break for... a bit of online shopping.
I'd been dying to own this poncho for a while now. As it has sat in one of my pinboards, I've dreamed of the day of owning it, and it's almost here... Eeep! :)
I also threw in this "boyfriend beanie", seeing as it's been almost a year that I've wanted one and haven't found one. This one is perfect.
I also wasted time taking this quiz.
I know it's weird but... Thing is... it described me better than I could... It was scarily accurate. I'd never taken a quiz like that before. I only took it because I saw someone else had pinned it saying the same thing. I didn't believe it, until I tried it. It was kind of good for me (weird??). It had me look at my life as I knew it was, but tried not to think about. If you're curious, try it. It only takes a couple of minutes. Let me know what you think of your results. (no one asked me to say these things, I am doing it out of pure curiosity. To see if it works for others as well as it did for me) It basically just tells you about your personality, nothing crazy.
Another thing I wasted time doing? Oh ya, watching Toddlers and Tiaras... Oh boy. That show... Considering there's all this talk about it right now, I thought I'd bring back this video to my blog. I've posted it before, but it's too fantastic not to share again. ENJOY! (if you've watched T&T before, you MUST watch this video. It's fantastic)
Have a happy Sunday!
P.S. I keep forgetting to mention THIS giveaway. I've loved her Etsy Shop since the moment I found it. :) she's also trying to reach 100 followers, so You should all check it out!!

How to use Wineskin
Hi all,
I want to use some PC games on my Mac but I don't know how to use Wineskin. I have installed CrossOver Games as well but I am not able to install RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. Can anyone help? Has anyone made some experiences with Wineskin, WineBottler or CrossOver Games?
Thanks for every help.
|Jan 3, 2011, 01:37 PM
first... you should only use Wineskin 2.0 beta... 1.x is outdated and out the door very soon (as soon a i get the time to fix a few bugs and add a couple things to get 2.0 to a Release Candidate). The current Beta version does everything and more that 1.2 does.
I'll update the online FAQ and Manual when I get a chance... its currently still for Wineskin 1.x. Since this is 99% a single person project (just me), it takes time to get things done :-)
For 2.0... basically you download Wineskin Winery... run it... use the update button in there to get the latest master wrapper and download whatever engine you want. Always try the newest Wine version builds first... which right now is Wine 1.3.10... the newest "stable" Wine release is 1.2.2. This would be the engines currently listed as available called WS5Beta3Wine1.3.10 and WS5Beta3Wine1.2.2.
Once you have an engine and a master wrapper, you select the engine you want and hit the "create wrapper" button... you name it what you want, and its going create and throw a wrapper named that in your home folders Application folder under a subfolder called Wineskin. When it is crated you'll have an option to open it directly in Finder for you.
Once the wrapper is created, then you can start getting the program your wanting to work right in it... the main configuration utility for the wrapper is called Wineskin.app. Right click the new wrapper you made and select "show package contents" and you'll find Wineskin.app and the drive_c folder that will be treated as the C: drive for anything run in this wrapper.
Wineskin.app has several Help screens already in it that will explain things about the Screen Settings and the Configuration and tools built in, as to what they do... you see these on any of the menus in Wineskin.app by pressing the little round button with the "?" in it.
getting games to work isn't always straight forward, but the first step would be just trying to install it with the "Install Windows Software" button and hope for the best.
A good place to always check for things that might need to be done to get a game working is the Wine AppDB... here is the entry for that game.
being Platinum rated I'd expect it to be very easy to get to work... you might just be able to install it and run it without any tweaks.
Once the wrapper is set up and works.. its just like a "port" .. you can move it wherever you want and just double click it and run it like any other mac application. Its all self contained, so any other wrappers or Wine usage on your machine will not interfere with it... unlike other ways to use Wine where upgrades can break things, you just leave that one wrapper set the way it is, and it should keep working fine. If you want to move it to another computer you can just zip it up (with the normal right click Compress" method in finder).. move it to a new computer... and unzip it and it should continue to function properly. Things might get messed up, if you just try to copy it directly without a zip or dmg image that will help keep permissions correct.

Wineskin 2.0 is current in Release Candidate 3 and should be released in a week or so.
Its running great! The interface and some concepts are a bit different then Crossover Games, but it really can run just as good if not better than Crossover... there are even engines built using Crossover wine source available.
The Wineskin Manual is updated with all the info you need... and the step by step directions at the end for a couple of wrappers help give you the gist of it. It can still be difficult getting some programs working, where you'll have to research in the Wine AppDB or just google searches and figure out what to do. Its not always terribly easy, but its not that hard many times either.
The good thing about this over Crossover... when you get a finished app, it runs like a Mac app, you can move it wherever and do whatever you want with it.... it doesn't run through Crossover, and possibly get broken with Crossover updates, so all your games keep self contained to themselves, no need to worry about new games or updates breaking others.
For total ease of use though, Crossover is still the easiest, because they keep a database of games, how to get them to work, and actual installation scripts.... so if they have one for a game you want, you can click 1 button and let it go to work for you.
Being a free program I do for fun, I don't really have the time/funds to do that with Wineskin. I rely on the community (mainly portingteam.com) to make wrappers people can share and download instead.

Questions...hoping you can help.
Just started experimenting with this program.
I already have Parallels installed and a bunch of Windows programs that I use through it.
I have Wineskin installed and I created my first wrapper. I right click on it and I can see the "C" drive inside.
Any way that I can point it to any of the Windows programs I already have installed via Parallels? I am sure they are all sitting in a directory on my drive.
Most of the Parallel Window programs are database programs so I need their existing information rather than installing a brand new copy instead.
How can I go about doing this, if at all? Thanks in advance.
|Feb 20, 2012, 10:26 PM
Wineskin is designed to port an app. The actual Windows app is installed inside of the wrapper, so its just like a normal Mac app, not pointing to somewhere else. If you try copying it over, make sure you find the actual data too, because just getting the installed program isn't always enough to get the actual data which could be stored elsewhere in Windows (My Documents usually, or elsewhere). Depending on the program that might not even work, as all the registry entries will also be missing. Some programs are fine with that and remake things, some won't work. Usually its best to actually install the program in the wrapper, then depending on the program and how you set it up, to then copy over your data so you still have everything.
Besides all that, Parallels virtual drive contents are not just sitting on your machine like other files. Its mounted in a way you can read the data in Finder as long as the virtual machine is running, otherwise you do not have access to that data.

Battlefield 3 install
Hi all,
I've been trying to install Battlefield 3 (PC Version) that I downloaded from Kick-Ass Torrents on my 27-inch 2011 iMac with wineskin but I am stuck. I have already passed the engine and master wrapper stage though I have not been able to "Install Windows Software".
My iMac runs OS X Lion 10.7, 4GB Ram
A little help would be wonderful!

please don't hate me
Me and my friend have been sharing games back and forth, I have a pc and he has a mac. he just gave me a game that was wineskin encoded and I am just wondering if or how I can use it on my pc? I know its along the same lines as a game boy emulator I just am kinda wondering if it will work or if I need to tell him to just give me the DVD. Please forgive this pc user for asking for help.

so if I "wrap" a game, say simcity... does it become the game + windows wrapped in 1 .app file meaning a HUGE file size?

This thread was a good read and made me want to try running some AAA RPGs such as Fallout 3, Oblivion, Fallout NV, Skyrim, etc. using Wineskin. Particularly with prebuilt wrappers available, I am tempted so I can skip rebooting even though I do have Windows 7 available via bootcamp. I hate rebooting away from OS X.
Something came to mind though and that is, how does this work when the games are run via Steam? I have a lot of Windows games that run from Steam since they were purchased there. I can't just install them by themselves into a wrapper.
|Oct 11, 2012, 10:33 AM
You can install Steam in a wrapper as well. There is an entry in Winetricks to do it for you.

OK, I'm trying to find the latest release of 2.0 Wineskin and every link I get is dead. I have an old 1.7 version or something, but it looks like I shouldn't use that.
What I'm trying to do is fix a game I am playing from GoG games, called The Temple of Elemental Evil. There is a graphics glitch, where lights and spell effects flicker. You can't see existing spell effects, while in combat and it's making the game very difficult to play. I'm using the Co8 Modpack and I have done hours of research into the problem I'm getting and all roads lead to changing the game engine with Wineskin. The thing is, I'm running this game in Crossover Games and I can't seem to figure out how to implement Wineskin for the game, as it already exists.
I've never used wineskin or crossover before, so I really don't have a good working grasp of either. Is what I'm trying to do very complex or is there a fairly easy way to use wineskin to fix this game, without having to start over?
|Nov 11, 2012, 10:08 AM
I don't understand how your trying to use Wineskin though when you say your running in Crossover... you don't use both, they are different tools that do a similar job.
I don't know any specifics about that game though... you might find its entry in the WineHQ.org AppDB and see what are some things other people have done to get it to work.

A man was hit by a car and life flighted to Columbus Medical Center Sunday night at Walmart in the 800 block of New Franklin Road after an altercation led to a hit-and-run.
At around 11:54 p.m., police were dispatched to Walmart where they found Joseph Webb, 45, of LaGrange laying on the ground surrounded by people.
It was reported Webb was run over by silver Toyota Tacoma that left the scene after the accident. After interviewing several witness, one claimed to know the driver as Nickolas Nixon, 19, of LaGrange. The witness called Nixon on the phone and police asked him to come back to the scene.
According to reports, Nixon came back and stated there has been prior altercations in which police were called between he and Joseph's son, Hunter Webb, 17, of LaGrange.
Nixon told police he allegedly saw Hunter at Walmart and feared there would be another altercation, but then Hunter left.
A short time later Hunter allegedly came back bringing a White Chevrolet truck with him. Nixon stated both vehicles drove to his location at which time he jumped in his car and tried to leave, but two males exited their vehicles and began running at his truck, reaching in his window, and trying to pull him out.
According the report, during the altercation, Nixon drove off at which time he felt a "bump," but kept going.
According to police, it is unclear if Joseph was one of the men chasing Nixon, although it was several members of the Webb family.
Nixon was arrested for leaving the scene of an accident and transported to the Troup County Jail.
Joseph sustained injuries to his legs, but the severity of his injuries and his condition is unknown at this time.
An investigation is still ongoing.
