CONWAY, AR- The family of a young man shot and killed on Father's Day has more questions than answers. Conway Police arrested 27-year-old Lee Foster and charged him with capital murder, battery 1, possession of firearms and aggravated assault. He's being held on no bond. 18-year-old Sierra Cook, who family said is Foster's girlfriend, is behind bars on a $250,000 bond for hindering in the case. Alexander's aunt, Kizzie McCoy said Foster and Alexander are second cousins and is heartbroken over this family tragedy.
"I miss him so much. I mean this is not going to be the same. I mean my life will never ever be the same without him and I just don't know what to do," cried Kizzie McCoy.
McCoy said she learned the news after leaving the funeral home Friday.
"I can't think clear, I can't function, I cry, wondering what they were fighting about," said McCoy.
At a news conference Friday afternoon, Conway Police Chief A.J. Gary said Alexander and Foster had an ongoing dispute. The department doesn't know what the dispute was over and McCoy said she has no idea what it was about either. McCoy mentioned Alexander was on the phone with his mother before the deadly shooting occurred, and he told her Foster was going to see him and even made threats.
"She just told him if he come down there, call the police, don't get into any trouble, just call the police. And he said I'm okay mom, I'll be fine. Before he could hang up the phone, that's when she heard shots ring over the phone. She heard her son get killed," said McCoy.
When McCoy found out her cousin was arrested, she said she kind of knew, but didn't want to believe it, "I mean what went wrong so bad that you do somebody like that? Somebody you grew up with, somebody you played with?"
While McCoy admits both her nephew and cousin butted heads at times, they weren't always like that.
"Before, they see each other, they laugh, talk used to hang out together, so that's why we were just like wow really?" said McCoy.
McCoy hasn't seen her cousin Foster, but plans to be at his arraignment next month searching for answers, "Why? What happened? What made you go to that length?"
Alexander's funeral is scheduled for Saturday morning.

Keeping Blinds Clean
One of the trickiest things about kitchen blinds is keeping them clean. Between what goes on in the kitchen to what blows in from the outside, the blinds will require regular dusting and cleaning.
For regular maintenance, a simple dusting with a Swiffer wipe or blast of air from a hair dryer will clean much of the dust; Jobar makes a nifty vacuum attachment specifically for mini-blinds.
For deep cleaning vinyl or metal blinds, the easiest method is to simply soak them in a tub with diluted dishwashing liquid. After they have soaked for an hour or so, simply rinse and shake off the excess water. Take special care with the metal blinds to make sure they are fully dried so you avoid rust issues.
Wooden blinds should not be submerged in water. However, as with any wood piece, a damp cloth is okay to use. High-quality products such as Murphy's Oil Soap or a furniture polish or wax will protect the wood and prevent a heavy buildup of grease and grime. Regular cleaning and maintenance will help keep your kitchen blinds looking great for years.

Ellie Goulding Biography & News
Ellie Goulding Details

About Ellie Goulding
Goulding enjoying 2014
2014 has been quite a year for Ellie Goulding. In fact, before the first two months had cleared the calendar, Goulding had announced the release of her next single, confirmed a contribution to the soundtrack for the film "Divergent," collaborated with rapper Angel Haze on a cover of the James Black song "Life Round Here," and captured the Best British Female Solo Artist at the Brit Awards.
Goulding's "Beating Heart" (her contribution to "Divergent") was probably a little louder by the time the soundtrack was released to the US on March 11. It was just the beginning of a spring/summer whirlwind for the starlet, who performed at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards in April and was one of three finalists for the Milestone Award at the Billboard Music Awards in May.
By June Goulding had announced and kicked off the UK Festival season, playing the Glastonbury Festival, the Wireless Festival, Eden Project, Marley Park, T in the Park Festival and the Norwich Sundown Festival before closing out that circuit in August. The 27-year-old certainly left a lot of fans digging her energetic performances, including her recent hit single, "Burn," as Ellie Goulding tickets were hot all summer.
Goulding recently went on a two-week Asian tour, including her very first stop in Hong Kong at the city's Kowloonbay International Trade and Exhibition Centre.
Ellie Goulding shows 'Anything Could Happen' (Created August 16, 2013)
"Anything Could Happen" was the lead single to Ellie Goulding's latest album, and the song title more than describes the career of the British songstress, who has found a balance between electro-pop and indie folk that has more than appealed to fans.
Born in Hereford, England, Goulding moved to the country's east coast to study drama at the University of Kent. But her love of folk music also exposed her to electronica, and she eventually moved to West London to pursue a career in music. It was there that she came in contact with producers like Frankmusik and Starsmith, who helped to craft her songs with an electro-pop flair.
Like most musicians these days, Goulding did herself a favor by building a fan base via the Internet, where fans loved on tracks like "Starry Eyed" and a cover of Sam Sparro's "Black & Gold." The media crush wasn't far behind, and by the time publications like The Guardian started singing her praises she was fielding offers from several labels. The one that nabbed her was Polydor Records, and she was quickly on her way to a release of her debut album.
Goulding's freshman effort, "Lights," was hailed as a 'sparkling' debut in March 2010. It topped the U.K. charts, spun off the Top 5 single "Starry Eyed," and was later re-released as "Bright Lights," featuring seven new tracks. The follow-up, 2012's "Halcyon," debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 Chart, her first Top 10 debut in the United States. A digital repackaging of "Halcyon" is due for release on August 23, 2013.

Altamira has attained consulting partner status on the Amazon Partner Network, Altamira announced Monday.
The public designation puts the engineering and analytic services provider in the company of professional services firms including system integrators, strategic consultants and resellers that design, migrate or build Amazon Web Services-based solutions for clients.
The McLean, Va.-based company says its development and services offerings span a variety of technologies including cloud computing; big data and analytics; cybersecurity; mobility; visualization and cybersecurity.
Altamira formed out of the June merger between Invertix and Neart Infinity as the companies looked to generate more business in the national security and intelligence realms by combining into a single entity.
Mark Spoto, managing director of Razor's Edge Ventures, which Altamira said helped bring the deal together through certain pre-merger investments, said the combined company will promote open sources solutions for government customers.

The 13 best budget MIDI controller keyboards
20th Oct 2014 | 10:25
Why overpay to play?
While some choose to get by without one, for most people, a MIDI controller keyboard is an essential part of a computer music making setup.
Fortunately, buying one no longer needs to represent a substantial financial investment. In this round-up, we've picked out 13 models that are available for under £100/$150 if you shop around. Indeed, some of them can be yours for considerably less than this.
At this price, you're not going to get hammer-action keys or the ultimate in control, but if you just want a keyboard that you can play and use to make the odd plug-in or DAW tweak, look no further.
Click on to find (in no particular order) everything from super-compact 'boards to five-octave models that enable proper playing: there's a budget MIDI controller keyboard out there for everyone.
Also bear in mind that M-Audio has just released the new version of the Oxygen 25, Akai has started shipping the mkII edition of the MPK Mini, and Alesis has its V series. All of these are available for less than £100/$150, though we haven't yet reviewed them.
NEXT: M-Audio Keystation Mini 32
M-Audio Keystation Mini 32
There are several 25-note mini-keyed controllers on the market, but the Keystation Mini 32's extra seven notes make it that bit more playable.
You get a few assignable controls, too - a chunky knob and some buttons - and the whole thing is nicely styled.
Korg microKey
The microKey began life as a 37-note product with mini keys, but is now a range that incorporates 25- and 61-note models as well (though the latter is slightly out of our 'budget' price range).
The fact that the keys are small means that this is never going to be player's dream, but they've got a good 'Natural Touch' action and the two larger versions benefit from having proper pitch and mod wheels.
Acorn Instruments MasterKey
The MasterKeys - there are 25-, 49- and 61-note versions - look about as conventional as they possibly could do. They feature lightweight but playable keys, pitch/mod wheels, four securely-fitted knobs, a volume slider and a 3-digit LED display. Assignments and other adjustments are made via the Edit button and presses of the keys.
Affordable and functional, these keyboards are well worth a look.
Alesis Q
James Bond's Q is known for his super-hi-tech gadgetry, but Alesis's range of the same name dispenses with flashiness to provide a solid, back-to-basics experience.
The focus here is very much on playing as opposed to tweaking, though the pitch and mod wheels are assignable. The key action is reassuringly smooth, and users of external MIDI gear will be cheered by the inclusion of a 5-pin MIDI Output.
Behringer U-Control UMA25S
Behringer is renowned for producing products that give you a lot for your money, and you can't argue with the value offered by the UMA25S.
This striking 25-note device not only sports 21 assignable controllers, but it's also an audio interface. It even comes with a gig bag, strap and headset mic, so you can strap the thing on and bust some moves while you're using it on stage (though this is entirely optional).
Line 6 Mobile Keys 25
Like IK Multimedia's iRig Keys, the Mobile Keys 25 can hook straight up to your iOS device without the need for any interface - very handy. What's more, the keys are full-size, which will please those with chubby fingers.
Of course, the Mobile Keys can be used with your Mac or PC as well (there are USB and Mobile outputs) and there's also a 49-note version. This, however, is just a little too pricey to be considered a 'budget' device.
IK Multimedia iRig Keys
Kicking off with a guitar recording interface, IK's iRig range now includes just about every kind of iOS music making peripheral you can imagine. This is the controller keyboard.
Connecting directly to your iOS device, the 37 keys give you a reasonable amount of space to flex your creative muscles, though they are mini ones (a Pro version of the iRig Keys is also available should you want to go full size). It'll work with your computer as well, and has a nice retro look going on.
Novation LaunchKey 25
The LaunchKey has three headline features that are intended to elevate it above the crowd: the introduction of Novation's popular Launchpad pads into the control surface; the new InControl auto-mapping system; and direct control of two purpose-built iPad apps.
At heart, though, it's a solid and dependable 25-note controller keyboard. The pots and sliders might feel slightly cheap, but taken as a whole, this is a very attractive package.
Arturia MiniLab
MiniLab is a 2-octave mini-key keyboard with no fewer than 16 dials and eight pads. Throw in four function buttons and two control strips (which substitute pitchbend and modulation wheels) and you quickly realise that it offers as many, if not more, control options than some keyboards that are twice the size.
The other part of the package is the Analog Lab software, which provides access to 5000 sounds accumulated from Arturia's flagship soft synths.
If you can live with the smaller keys, this is an excellent hybrid product that kills two birds with one stone.
SubZero SPC Mini Key and Pad MIDI Controller
The SPC has a slightly unusual design in that its 25 mini keys are raised above the level of the other controls (eight drum pads, four sliders, four rotaries and its control buttons). It almost looks like two controllers that have been stuck together.
If you can live with this quirk, this is a controller that offers an awful lot for the money. Assignments can be saved to the unit for fast recall, and for less than £50, you couldn't really ask for much more.
CME Xkey
Looking sleek and slim, the Xkey's 2-octave keyboard is of the low-profile variety (a mere 16mm deep), yet still retains a decent amount of key travel, making it surprisingly playable. Perhaps the most notable feature, though, is polyphonic aftertouch, which means you can add an extra level of expression on a per-note basis (providing the instrument you're playing supports it).
On the downside, it's hard to use the pitchbend/modulation buttons with any degree of accuracy, but if you want a stylish, portable keyboard with full-size keys, this is a very attractive option.
Akai APC Key 25
As well as its 25 mini keys, the Ableton Live-friendly APC Key 25 also has a 5x8 grid of clip launching buttons, plus scene launch buttons and eight knobs. That's actually the same amount of clip control as you get with the APC40 mkII, though here we have fewer rotaries and no faders.
Compact enough to fit in a bag with a laptop, the APC Key 25 is a good choice for any Live user who wants an ultra-mobile performing and/or composing setup.
Novation LaunchKey Mini
The baby of Novation's LaunchKey family offers 25 mini keys, 16 velocity-sensitive pads (with three-colour RGB backlights), eight assignable knobs and seven function buttons. This is a healthy amount of input for such a small device.
Easy to set up with most major desktop DAWs, the LaunchKey Mini is also specifically designed to be iPad-friendly (providing you have a Camera Connection Kit). There's even a LaunchKey synth app that integrates tightly with the hardware. There's no pitch/mod control, but this is a good portable all-rounder.

I am writing this letter to endorse Jamie Brimer who is running for a seat on the Town Council. I have known Jamie since he moved his family to Truckee in 1997. The campaign slogan on Jamie's lawn sign is "A Common Sense Approach." That's Jamie!
I have had many opportunities to watch his approach to life. I have been privileged to watch him relate to his father and mother, his wife, his daughters, his friends, his business, and his community. He is a man of integrity whose word is his bond. And I for one believe that he would be a great addition to our Town Council.
Common Sense, Integrity, and a great love for the Town of Truckee, pretty good qualifications for a Truckee Town Council member.

To share information about new initiatives, long-term plans, and opportunities for conservation collaboration by different U.S.-based organizations working on the ground in the Congo basin, the Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group (ABCG) hosted an October 2001 Meeting. The meeting was a follow-up to the September 2000 ABCG Meeting on "Gaps and Opportunities in the Congo Basin." It provided an opportunity to reflect upon the changes that had occurred over the past year, and determine what progress had been made on the conservation gaps that were previously identified. This meeting was chaired by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and hosted by World Wildlife Fund (WWF). Presentations were made by USAID's Central African Regional Program for the Environment (CARPE), WWF, WCS, World Resources Institute, African Wildlife Foundation, Conservation International, and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Other participating organizations included Biodiversity Support Program, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Interagency Planning Group on Environmental Funds, University of Maryland- NASA, Innovative Resources Management, and the Bushmeat Crisis Task Force. Information from the meeting includes:

Results vs. Tusculum (2009-02-24 14:30:00)
February 24, 2009Misenhiemer, NC -- Tuesday afternoon saw Pfeiffer baseball overcome a 3-2 deficit in the eighth inning to prevail over the visiting Pioneers of Tusculum College. Pfeiffer improves to 11-5-1 with the win, while Tusculum falls to 8-7.
Tusculum jumped to an early 2-0 lead in the first off Falcon starter Nick Fogleman (Waxhaw, NC). With two outs Nate Grabowski (Pennellville, NY) reached on a walk and Sean Cotten (Mooresville, NC) followed with a homerun to centerfield.
Pfeiffer was held in check until the third when Preston Lyon (Gastonia, NC) singled to left off Pioneer pitcher Taylor Rakes (Norcross, GA) and with two outs Eric Shoemaker (Huntersville, NC) launched his third homerun of the year. The blast tied the score at 2-2.
The Falcons had an opportunity to take the lead in the third when Will Davis (New London, NC) led off with a double to right-center but was stranded at third after three consecutive fly outs.
The game remained gridlocked at 2-2 until the eighth. With two outs Aaron Hudgins (Kingsport, TN) reached on an error and Ricky Feliz (Miami, FL) followed with an RBI double. This put the Pioneers up 3-2, but their lead was short lived.
In the bottom of the inning, Josh Strickland (Liberty, NC) and Shoemaker reached on one-out walks. Zach Pou (Stanley, NC) singled home Strickland and Davis followed with an RBI groundout. Then, with two-outs and two strikes on him, Jesse Dunn (Easley, SC) connected for an RBI single that scored Pou, giving the Falcons a 5-3 lead. Andy Oliver (Cornelius, NC) came in and pitched a perfect ninth for Pfeiffer.
Fogleman picked up the win for Pfeiffer; he is now 4-0. He went eight strong innings giving up two earned runs while striking out seven. Oliver picked up the save by pitching the ninth and striking out two of the three batters he faced.
At the plate, Pfeiffer was led by Shoemaker (1-2 with two RBIs and two walks), Pou Davis, Dunn, and Lyon each added a hit for the Falcons.
Rob Currie (St. Charles, IL) took the loss for the Pioneers and in relief he went 2/3 of an inning, giving up two runs.
As for the offense, it was led by Sean Finucane (Cortland, NY), who was 2-3. Feliz Grabowski and Cotten all added a hit apiece.

Game: Tremulous
This game is one of the best.
Sadly I never ever witnessed an update. It is the same game play and a hand full of maps like when I first played it a few years ago. No improvements whatsoever in graphics or game play. Although the game is brilliant, a little bit more variety would do it good. I do not see the difference between 1.1 and 1.2 beta.
Take a closer look at that "going closed source" news item. It is posted on April Fools' Day.
Game: Molten sky
Demo is planned on April.
Game: Raincat
Graphics are sloppy and it does not run very well.
I had to use wine to run it if I remember correctly.
Can not remember having fun with this game at all.
mhm, don't get me wrong, i totally see the benefit. At the moment, we are trying hard to keep up with the updates and i don't see that we have the spare time to post the changelogs.
You can just as well say "it's more work to include game info, it should be on the game's site or package" and it would be the same argument.
When I hear that a game is updated, for it to be useful I need to actually know what has changed. Otherwise, if I read the LGDB identica feed or whatever, and see that there is a game update, I can just as well go to Google and search for it, rather than going to LGDB, looking for the game link, going to the site, and then looking for their news release.
When someone -reports- the update, they should give an overview of the update, they can even copy and paste it.
Linux Game Tome does this, and it is a /very/ useful feature, having a central place to see how games are progressing
i know, thats so much more work but is it really so much more use full? some changelogs are in packages, some are in forums...
if we have a rss feed of a developer a link to the release announcement is usually available on the game page under news.
after all i think its to much hassle compared to the benefit. but with everything it depends on the manpower. ;)
Game: M.A.R.S.
Controls are cumbersome but the game was fun so far and I liked the visuals and the soundtrack very much.
Game: Warlock's Gauntlet
I'd like to announce that this game recently has added support for 64bit linuxes. You can give it a try at: http://musztardasarepska.pl/wgdown

Kate Gosselin isn't on TV anymore and in an effort to stay relevant she is now saying that she wants to partner up with First Lady Michelle Obama!
The former Kate Plus 8 reality star was told that one of her fans wanted her to "team up with Michelle Obama with the exercise for kids and healthy eating viewpoint," and Kate seemed quite taken with the idea, sharing it would be her dream, job.
PHOTOS: Kate Gosselin's 10 Sexiest Bikini Looks!
"It's circulating around… I'd love to help M Obama in her quest… It's SO my passion for kids, moms & families as a whole!" Kate wrote about working with the President's wife.
Kate, who ran a half marathon with her trusty bodyguard Steve Neild by her side, is currently earning a living blogging for the website CouponCabin.com but she's said often that her children really miss being on television.

Only ask because right now I'm in south Florida and OMFG it feels like I have a 300 lb lead weight in the car when accelerating from a stop with the AC on. Turbo engine suffers I guess in the humidity. I feel like these conditions would be perfect for a hybrid, especially the non-turbo gasoline engine versions provided they have a good stock battery cooling setup.

It sounds like they are different technologies, that get similar MPG in slightly different applications. Choice like that is always good..
It has pretty much all the features most hybrid shoppers are looking for. It seems right in line with the pricing of the TDI which makes sense. Kinda gives people the option of going diesel or hybrid. Similar returns yet two different ways of providing it. They are just allowing for people who are more accustomed to a hybrid and are weary about diesel to join VW.
Smart business. It will probably do pretty well against the competition. The only competitor in this segment is the Civic Hybrid (Eco cars don't count without a similar powertrain).
Is this a Volkswgen with a big battery....cause.....NO.

The current line of common rails are very quiet, actually my TDI is the quietest car I own and it may or may not even have the DPF still ..
For a split second leaving the line there is a tiny bit of diesel rattle but then it smooths out. With the windows open cruising in a city environment it is no louder then my 1.8t or my 2.0t when they were stock.
At least the hybrid won't have a $10000 HPFP explosion

2.0 TDI "BHW" engine partout - @tdiclub @vwvortex
possible yes.
45+ highway with a manual is possible without too much effort, my former commute was about 15 miles highway and 10 city which I got about 38-40 regularly and 42ish if I tried.
The city figures are what will really bring the diesel down and the hybrid up on the combined.
| The Orange Line | 1999 BMW 328i | 2013 Chevy Volt |
so what are you averaging with your TDI ?
first let me say: i welcome any new technology that improves where auto industry is heading. that said. i will still pick my TDI
all i can say: to average 45MPG in current TDI is doable but not extremely easy to do it tank after tank after tank if you live in a major city. but i blame this mainly on drivers.
what i'm going of: i live in Los Angeles (Long Beach) and commute to work near Santa Monica.
my daily commute is 30 miles each way, and lately its been averaging about 1 hour each way, so lots of traffic. but even in those condition my running average (last 10 fill ups) is 45.3 MPG (so technically it can be done)
my overall average since i bought the car (52,1xx miles / 94 fill ups) is 42 MPG,
my average has been going up since car is broken in, i've seen serious average jump in MPGs after 30,000 miles.
so there you have 45 MPG real works with tons of city driving, very much doable.
The problem with the Jetta Hybrid is the fact that there's still a Jetta underneath it at pricing that mirrors better cars.
I actually saw a Jetta Hybrid in a parking lot in downtown Toronto the other day. It looked just like a regular Jetta except it said Hybrid on the side.
And that's all I have to add to this conversation.

Diesel hybrids do exist

| The Orange Line | 1999 BMW 328i | 2013 Chevy Volt |
Since the pricing was announced, was the Jetta Hybrid release already for sale? My friend saw one yesterday so I dont think it was a preproduction, but wouldnt be surprised if it was due to the testing facility nearby
It's no worse to drive than a Jetta 2.5 or TDI.
There are people who are turned off by the look and drive of the Prius. VW isn't looking to nab the people who buy the Prius as an appliance.
I think they'll get people who now aren't perspective hybrid drivers. Maybe they were considering a regular Jetta or TDI Jetta.

20.8, 21.5, and 22 mpg for the trip in 2007 -2009 with two bikes on the roof of my '03 A4 Avant 3.0q.
Just returned home on Saturday night from the trip in my wife's Escape Limited Hybrid. 31.8 mpg with two bikes on a rear hitch bike rack. Not bad.
Why are all the TDI fanbois mad and defensive?
came here for transmission
saw DSG
left satisfied.
Sent from my tablet while sipping weak drinks over fancy brunch with a view
It's kind of neat that VW is willing to offer us a big variety powerplants in the Jetta range, not so different than far more expensive cars from Mercedes for example. I think I'm a bit more of a fan of the diesel powered cars just based on the torque figures and availability of a manual transmission. But if I was seriously in the market for a car with good gas mileage, I'd have to at least give the hybrid a try. The DSG might change my impression of things quite a bit.
Don't get me wrong, it'll meet its modest goals, but it's not really anything to make anybody sit up and notice.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose and monitor C-cell hyperplasia and medullary thyroid cancer; to screen those at risk for multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2)
When to Get Tested?
When your doctor suspects that you have or when you are being treated for medullary thyroid cancer, or when a family member has medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
Overnight fasting may be required; follow instructions provided by your doctor or the laboratory.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Calcitonin is a hormone produced by special cells in the thyroid called C-cells. The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland that lies over and flat against the windpipe in the throat. It produces calcitonin and several hormones that help control the rate of metabolism, primarily thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). This test measures the amount of calcitonin in the blood.
Calcitonin is involved in the regulation of calcium levels in the blood and inhibits bone breakdown (resorption), although exactly how calcitonin works in the human body is unclear.
In two rare conditions, C-cell hyperplasia and medullary thyroid cancer, excessive amounts of calcitonin are produced. C-cell hyperplasia is a benign condition that may or may not progress to become medullary thyroid cancer. Medullary thyroid cancer is malignant – it can spread beyond the thyroid and can be difficult to treat if it is not discovered early.
About 75-80% of medullary thyroid cancer cases are sporadic, occurring in those who do not have a family history of the disease. About 20-25% of cases are related to an inherited mutation in the RET gene that leads to multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2). MEN 2 is a syndrome associated with several related diseases, including medullary thyroid cancer and pheochromocytomas. The altered RET gene is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. Only one copy of the mutated gene – from either a father or mother – is required to have a greatly increased risk of developing medullary thyroid cancer. Most cases of sporadic medullary thyroid cancer develop when people are in their 40s or 50s, and the prevalence is higher in women. The inherited form affects both sexes equally and can occur at an earlier age.
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?
Overnight fasting may be required. Follow the instructions provided by your doctor or the laboratory.
The Test
Common Questions
Ask a Laboratory Scientist
Form temporarily unavailable
Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.
