At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help evaluate the body's water and electrolyte balance; to investigate low sodium levels in the blood (hyponatremia) and increased or decreased urine production; to detect alcohol poisoning due to ingestion of toxins such as methanol or ethylene glycol; to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for conditions affecting osmolality; to help determine the cause of chronic diarrhea
When to Get Tested?
When someone has a low blood sodium level, is taking mannitol (an osmotic diuretic), may have ingested methanol, ethylene glycol, or isopropyl alcohol, is producing significantly increased or decreased amounts of urine, or has chronic diarrhea
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm and/or a random urine sample; sometimes a fresh, liquid stool sample
Test Preparation Needed?
None may be required or you may be instructed to fast for 6 hours before the test; follow any instructions provided. Inform your health care provider of all medications you are taking, especially mannitol.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Osmolality is a measure of the number of dissolved particles in a fluid. The osmolality test reflects the concentration of substances such as sodium, potassium, chloride, glucose, and urea in a sample of blood, urine, or sometimes stool. It is used to evaluate the balance between water and dissolved particles in the blood and urine, to detect the presence of substances that may affect this balance, and to assess the kidneys' ability to concentrate urine.
Water balance in the body is a dynamic process that is regulated by controlling the amount of water excreted in the urine and by increasing or decreasing water drinking by regulating "thirst." Osmotic sensors in the body perceive and react to increases and decreases in the amount of water and particles in the bloodstream. When blood osmolality increases, indicating either a decrease in the amount of water in the blood or an increase in the number of particles, the hypothalamus secretes antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which tells the kidneys to conserve water. This results in more concentrated urine with higher urine osmolality and more dilute blood with lower osmolality. As blood osmolality decreases, ADH secretion is suppressed, the kidneys excrete increased amounts of dilute urine, the amount of water in the body decreases, and blood osmolality returns to normal.
Blood osmolality is primarily a measure of sodium dissolved in the serum. Sodium is the major electrolyte in the blood, urine, and stool. It works with potassium, chloride, and CO2 (in the form of bicarbonate) to maintain electrical neutrality in the body and acid-base balance. Sodium comes into the body in the diet and is normally conserved or excreted in the urine by the kidneys to maintain its concentration in the blood within a healthy range.
Urine osmolality primarily measures the waste products urea and creatinine. Urea and creatinine are produced and removed by the body at a relatively constant rate.
Glucose and urea are not electrolytes but as particles (molecules), they do contribute to osmolality. Normally their contributions are small, but when someone has high blood glucose (hyperglycemia, as found in diabetes) or high blood urea (seen in diseases such as kidney failure), their influence can be significant.
Glucose is osmotically active. This means it can draw water out of the body's cells, increasing the amount of fluid in circulation, which in turn increases the amount of dilute urine produced. Mannitol, a drug used to treat cerebral edema, also has this property. Toxins such as methanol, isopropyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and acetone, and drugs such as acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) can also affect osmolality when ingested in sufficiently large amounts.
Osmolality can be measured or it can be estimated from the major solutes expected to be in the blood. The difference between measured and calculated (estimated) results is called the "osmotic gap" or "osmolal gap." An increase in the osmotic gap (greater than 10) indicates the presence of other substances such as toxins, aspirin, or mannitol. The osmotic gap is sometimes used for evaluation when a person is being treated with mannitol or when someone is suspected of having ingested a toxin such as methanol or too much of a drug such as aspirin. Other common causes of an elevated osmolal gap are alcoholic ketoacidosis, kidney failure, diabetic ketoacidosis, and shock.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm. A random urine sample is collected using a clean catch method (see description under "Urinalysis: How is the sample collected for testing?"). A fresh (refrigerated or frozen within about 30 minutes of collection), liquid stool that is not contaminated by urine is collected in a clean container. Bacteria in the stool can change the results of the test within a short period of time.
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 may be needed or you may be instructed to fast (nothing to eat or drink except water) for 6 hours before the test. Follow any instructions you are given. Because some medications can interfere with this testing, inform your health care provider of all of the medications you are taking, especially if you are taking mannitol.

Tom Odell Biography & News
About Tom Odell
"I wouldn't mind being the male Adele," Tom Odell told the Daily Mail during an interview back in February. And if the 22-year-old from Chichester has anything to say about it, he's well on his way to becoming the dominant Brit male to the other dominant Brit female.
About Tom Odell
Odell, who recently collected his first Brit Award, did so on the strength of soaring piano songs (another Adele specialty). These kind of tracks anchor his debut album, "Long Way Down," which bowed on June 24, 2013 and climbed to the top spot on the UK Official Chart, spawning the singles "Can't Pretend," "Hold Me" and "Another Love."
While Odell's star has continued to rise, it does so in part because of mixed to negative reviews from critics. NME (New Musical Express), a UK weekly pop/rock publication, gave "Long Way Down" 0 out of 10 stars, prompting Odell's father to complain to the magazine. While many believe the review was nothing more than a publicity stunt, it has undoubtedly helped push Odell just a little bit closer to the cusp of super-stardom .
Not bad for a guy who grew up studying classical piano, played a hoard of open mic nights and was ultimately discovered by the label head Lily Allen. His extended play, "Songs from another Love," rolled out in the fall of 2012, and Odell was announced as one of the fifteen nominees for the BBC Sound of 2013 poll.
Odell performed his first new song since the release of "Long Way Down," entitled "Alex" on February 7, 2014 at Plymouth Pavilions. However, he recently stated he no longer has a name for the tune.

At first huge numbers were recruited for 6 months or a year at most for large projects like the NYC subways, Dams, railroads etc and when this traffic took hold and the destruction of Southern Italy became rooted into poverty, unemployment and confiscation of lands the way was paved for the permanent mass migration.
Like everything else Merry Old England was always ahead of the world in all the technical and social changes that we "enjoy" today but to my mind
post roman civilization was salvaged by the English and exported to the entire world. Needless to say I am an anglophile. =Peter=

Sorry, Siri. You've Got Some Serious Competition
Assistants of the FutureMotherKnowsDr. ChronoTeacherKitClassDojoSocrativeHomeBudgetManillaXeroDonnaTempo
How can we improve education, health care, and fiscal responsibility?
The answer is assistant-style software, Bill Gates said last week at Microsoft's annual Faculty Summit. "As everybody gets essentially what we've called the personal agent--where we see where you're going, we see your calendar, we see your communication--I think we'll be more connected."
What's more, Gates says that the user data collected can provide entrepreneurs with deep insight that can then be used to solve bigger teaching, health care, and personal finance issues.
Here are ten assistant-style apps to check out.
--Jana Kasperkevic
Think of this app as a personal medical records keeper for families.
Approving an online medical release form authorizes the app to contact the user's doctors and collect their children's medical records. A complete medical history is then secured and made available for school, camp, or travel via an iPhone app.
Doctors, get your iPads ready.
This is a complete electronic healthcare record for iPad, equipped with custom forms, electronic prescribing, medical speech-to-text transcription, lab results integration, and even built-in medical billing.
Handwriting jokes--and misread prescriptions--will be a thing of the past.
With TeacherKit, educators can keep all their classroom paperwork in one safe spot.
The iPad app lets teachers enroll all of their students by class and keep track of their progress via personal profiles. It also stores lesson notes, details on student behavior, seating charts, attendance, and grades.
As classes go digital, this program enables educators to keep track of student behavior and engagement via smartphone, laptop, or tablet.
Students receive point rewards or deductions for their behavior in real time, which become behavior tracking analytics and reports that teachers can share with parents and administrators.
This program creates a virtual classroom, engaging students through a variety of assignments and activities on their smartphones, tablets, or computers.
Teachers can prompt students with questions and assign quizzes or activities. After students complete their assignments, Socrative generates a report and shares it with the teacher.
HomeBudget does exactly what its name promises: It lets users budget, track, and control their monthly expenses and income via mobile or desktop.
The program also allows multiple family members to work together within a single budget, making tracking household expenses simpler than ever.
Manilla acts like a personal accountant, keeping track of all your finance-related accounts. It monitors credit cards, wireless bills, banks, utilities, loyalty programs, and recurring payments.
As a bonus, users receive unlimited online documents storage and automatic reminders about when all of their payments are due. So long, late fees.
For small business owners, personal accountant software needs a few extra bells and whistles. Xero keeps an up-to-date record of all their expenses and revenue that can be shared with a real accountant at any time.
It can be synced with bank accounts, credit cards, PayPal, Vend and Highrise accounts, allowing the program to import and categorize all kind of deposits, invoices, withdrawals, and checks. Users can also manage their cash flow by using the software to create and send invoices, receive payments online, and schedule bill payments.
Donna doesn't just keep track of your appointments and calendar. This software takes scheduling to a whole new level by incorporating things like traffic, parking availability, and weather delays into your travel time between meetings.
The software is designed to analyze user behavior in order to predict future needs, improving with increased use.
"The more you interact with Donna, the more she learns. You don't need to enter exact addresses for Donna to figure out where your meeting is and she will even try to guess where you'll be leaving from," says the company's website.
Another smart calendar keeper, Tempo has a seemingly endless number of abilities.
This app can send a pre-populated "running late" email or text and pull up relevant information--e-mails, documents, LinkedIn profiles--that pertain to a particular meeting or a call. It gets directions, estimates driving time, keeps track of flights, finds meeting locations, and connects to Foursquare and Yelp.
And best of all? Tempo simplifies dialing into conference calls by handling the passcode.

Save the date magnets for our wedding
We adore these save the date magnets! My fiance and I were continuously looking for something cute, funny and just the right amount of cheesiness to remind our guests of the date. We settled on this design because it matched our fun, light-hearted personalities and they're practical for our guests to "save the date". We received them quicker than expected and we have been receiving rave reviews on our creative choice. We will most likely be purchasing the elegant love birds invitations for the big day as we fell in love with them, too...with our personalized colours, of course. I love this website!! And they offer lots of great discounts to keep you coming back for more! :) ~Dani
I love my save the date

The GAA Museum's new temporary exhibition, 'Hair Hurling Balls – Earliest Artefacts of our National Game' is now open. There are 14 hair hurling balls on display as part of the exhibition which was researched and developed by the National Museum of Ireland and previously hosted at the Museum of Country Life in Castlebar, County Mayo.
The balls are made from matted cow hair with a plaited horsehair covering and all found in bogs during the handcutting of turf. The balls have been dated with the oldest dated to c.1192 - making it over 800 years old.
The interactive exhibition invites visitors to uncover stories of the history of the hair hurling balls: where they were found, how they were made and their ages. The exhibition also explores the science behind our knowledge. Visitors can see how these earliest objects of our national game compare with those of today and learn more about their folklore.
'Hair Hurling Balls – Earliest Artefacts of our National Game' will run until April 2015.

The Groovy-Eclipse team is proud to announce the release of Groovy-Eclipse 2.7.1. This is a service refresh of Groovy-Eclipse and it now contains support for the 2.0.4 Groovy compiler as well as Eclipse 4.2.1 and 3.8.1.
You can use the following update sites to install this release:
The Groovy 2.0 compiler is not installed by default. If you want to install it, you can do so from the Extra Compilers category in the update site.
And a zipped version of the update site is available at:
Groovy 2.0.4
Groovy 2.0.4 is now available in Groovy-Eclipse as an optional add-on. We have not yet made the compiler default because we make our default compiler compatible with the default compiler of the latest release of Grails. At the time of this release, Grails is at version 2.1.1, which uses Groovy 1.8 as its compiler. When Grails moves to being based on Groovy 2.2.x, Groovy-Eclipse will move its default compiler as well.
To install Groovy 2.0, go to Help --> Install new Software. In the work with tab, choose the Groovy-Eclipse update site and select the Extra Compilers category:
Read Compiler Switching within Groovy-Eclipse for more information on how to install Groovy 2.0 and how to switch compiler levels.
Eclipse 4.2.1 and 3.8.1
We have updated the JDT feature patch to be based off of JDT version 3.8.1, which is the version used in Eclipse 4.2.1 as well as 3.8.1.
Add project-level warning if compiler levels don't match
There is now a project setting that records the last compiler level that compiled it. You can access this setting in the Groovy Compiler settings page for the project:
This is in addition to the workspace compiler level, which is found at Preferences -> Groovy -> Compiler:
If the compiler level for the project is different from that of the workspace, then an error marker is placed on the project and it cannot be built until the compiler levels are resolved:
To resolve the marker discrepancy, select the marker or markers that you want to fix, and you can choose one of three ways to resolve the conflict:
You can choose to:
- Configure the compiler level for the project(s), which opens a dialog where you can manually choose a compiler level
- Change the compiler level for the entire workspace (i.e., change which compiler is being used in the workspace). This requires a restart.
- Or simply set the project compiler level to match the workspace compiler level. Most of the time, this is the option you will want to choose.
Better Content assist for Annotation
Content assist in the context of an annotation, will only show annotations, not classes, interfaces, or enums:
Groovy-Eclipse 2.7.1 uses Groovy 1.8.6. Groovy 1.7.10 can be enabled optionally, and Groovy 2.0.4 can be installed through the extra compilers section on the update site.
This version of Groovy-Eclipse is recommended to be installed on STS 3.0.0, STS 3.1.0.RC1, Eclipse 3.7.2, 3.8.1, and 4.2.1.
Bug fixes
See the details on our issue tracker.
What's next?
We are planning a 2.8.0 release in October. You can take a look at all issues we are planning to fix for this release.
We appreciate all community support and feedback. If you wish to join the discussion about Groovy-Eclipse then please sign up for the mailing list. For any issues you have (or enhancements you would like to see), please raise them in our issue tracker. If there is an existing bug fix or enhancement that you require are not seeing any movement on, please make some noise on it (and get your friends to do the same). We respond to community feedback, and we can make the most improvements to Groovy-Eclipse when we hear directly from the community. So, please speak up.

It takes a lot of time, effort and manpower to successfully run a tournament the size of the CVO. The club and its members seem more active and involved than I've ever seen so I'm sure we wont have a problem getting volunteers to help out.
The great thing about the CVO this year is the two pools of players. Not only does that allow for lots of spectating, but it also means people playing in the tournament can easily help out also. So we'll need multiple volunteers for each task to make sure it's being taken care of for each round.LunchThanks for helping to make this CVO the best ever!

Thus, you can argue Spanos is indecisive.
But he has justification for all the things he does, and most often those justifications make sense.
"I laugh," Spanos said of the contention he is fearful. "I've never been afraid in my life. … I try to be objective, make sound decisions."
Spanos was leaning hard toward firing Turner in 2011 and would have had the Chargers not won in Oakland in the season finale. You can question Spanos' course, but he believes the counsel he got from football people around the NFL and the Chargers' 4-1 finish justified his decision a year ago.
"Firing everyone would have been the easy thing to do," he said.
Sure, he would have been toasted around town and by the media near and far for his decision then. It's too late for that now.
How the coach who came in last year fared would have determined how long the praise of Spanos lasted, and how the coach that comes in now fares will ultimately decide how long he is derided.
One thing that makes me laugh is the notion Spanos doesn't care. He might have bungled his share of decisions in whom to trust with his team, but I've seen him in foul moods often enough to know he lives and dies with that team.
"It wears on you a little bit," Spanos said. "You want to win a championship. I really thought we had a chance. … You want to win so bad."
Asked about his legacy, he says, "I'm not done yet."
But almost.

If there's a major disaster, officials at the Orange County Fire Authority might have trouble getting all their firefighters to quickly return to their stations.
That's because some active members of the department live in Colorado, Utah, Texas, and Washington state (map).
OCFA Engineer Lloyd Pinel, for example, would have to wait for the next available flight from Third Lake, Ill., The 21-year veteran's home is a 30-minute drive from Lake Michigan, but more than a three-hour flight from his station in Buena Park.
With more than 2,000 miles between his home and his place of work, Pinel has the longest commute of any OCFA firefighter.
Without any official restrictions on where they live, 37 percent of OCFA firefighters list their primary residence outside of Orange County – with many living in the Inland Empire.
In typical driving conditions with traffic, 10 percent of OCFA personnel can expect to drive more than two hours to reach their stations, according to personnel records requested and reviewed by The Orange County Register. The review also found that among their 821-member department, six captains and three engineers live outside California.
Some local officials are concerned at how quickly personnel could respond to a major emergency.
There are also budgetary concerns. Firefighters who live far away could adjust their shifts to minimize the amount of time they spend commuting and increasing the amount of overtime the get.
OCFA officials say residency requirements would not make sense, adding that requiring firefighters to live in Orange County would hamper recruiting efforts. Other large departments – such as the Los Angeles Fire Department – don't have residency requirements and also employ firefighters living outside the state.
Outside of California
Of the nine firefighters who live outside of California, many have chosen communities with large lots and lower home prices.
Capt. Jeffrey Hoey, a 21-year veteran of the OCFA, lives in Bellingham, Wash., in a house surrounded by acres of woods and grassy open spaces. Located about 90 miles north of Seattle, Hoey's home is about a 30-minute drive from Bellingham International Airport – about the same time it would take him to reach the U.S.-Canadian border.
It's a 1,200-mile commute to his fire station in Mission Viejo.
Messages and attempts to reach Pinel and Hoey and five other firefighters who live outside of the state went unanswered. But two out-of-state firefighters did agree to discuss their situations.
Capt. Paul Ravize, a 27-year-veteran stationed in Yorba Linda, makes three-and-half-hour drive from his home on the outskirts of Las Vegas.

What if I told you that there is more to what you can see? That those tales of having a third eye are not lies, that we have a part of our brain that remains subconscious albeit nor dormant. What if I told you that you can feed your mind, your brain, your head. That there are no mental barriers other than those you propose yourself.
Open up your mind and go through what you have gone through. Simpler said than done? I agree, but this way you can put into perspective all the events that have led to whoever it is that makes you. You have your physical traits such as your body shape (athletic, lanky, overweight etc), hair (IE hairstyles) and eye color, and then you have your character or personality traits. Dont believe me? Do this:
- Schedule an appointment tomorrow for your barber and get your head buzzed.
- Go to the nearest army recruiting center and enlist yourself to go to military boot camp, with your hair all buzzed off already, signifying your real intent to enlist.
- Start adapting to a military lifestyle in your own home until you receive the call to join military boot camp. It takes about 4 weeks to receive the call, so you have enough to time to prepare and even continue to buzz your hair if need be.
- The day before enrolling military boot camp, go out and score three ounces of mushrooms, you know the ones that make you see all kind of stuff.
You have achieved ego death, in less than 24 hours you will be joining military bootcamp, with your head buzzed and your brain ready to become a killing machine. In 4-6 months you will be sent to Iraq or Afghanistan and statistics say that there is a 5% you will return home missing a limb.
You have reached ego death, are scared to pieces of what's coming tomorrow. Suddenly, you start valuing life, you see that we all have a purpose and that putting yourself in the line of death, of physical death, after having killed your ego is utter nonsense.
Call the recruiting officer and tell him you have discovered life; politely reject your recruitment to the military.
Leave your house and go to the top of the nearest mountain, then take a big breath of air.
Right there and then, you will then have fed your mind, my friend. And I tell you this because this is exactly what I did.
This is all I have ti say…for NOW

British radio personality Laura Safe was typing messages to her boyfriend when she walked straight into the icy water of a canal in Birmingham--and it was all caught on CCTV.
"I thought the canal was pavement because it looked dark out of the corner of my eye," Safe told the Sun.
"I should really be called Laura UNsafe after the day I've had," she tweeted.
Fortunately, a bystander was nearby to prevent any lasting damage from hypothermia. Neil Edginton, a businessman, called out for Safe to stop but it was too late.
"This man came running up Baywatch style, grabbed my hand and pulled me up," Safe gushed. "He was a hero and saved my life."
Safe says she learned her lesson, but her slip-up should come as a caution to other Birminghamians--the central English city is thought to have more canals than Venice, with 114 miles of waterways in the city.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Excellent Product -
Ordered and customized Wedding invites. They turned out amazing, and were shipped quickly.
Great product
I loved my wedding invitations! Great quality! My only complaint was that a few envelopes did not hold their seal in the mail. This resulted in a couple people not receiving everything in their envelope package of invites. However, the 150 other ones mailed perfectly! We personalized the characters hair and skin color to match us. As well as changed the flower colors to fit our theme. We have received so many compliments. :)
Awesome Invitation
Everyone at Magnent Street was a pleasure to work with. I even accidently added the wrong type of envelopes to my order and I would have never known the difference, but someone called me and wanted to double check my order to make sure I exactly what I wanted. These particular invitations turned out better than I thought they would and I am so very happy with the outcome. I changed the hair color and the color of the text and added some things on the back of the invite. They perfectly fit my wedding and the quality is great. They shipped fast and came nicely packaged. I would definitely recommend this company and these invites!
Very timely and great assortment
We moved our wedding date up three months. I received my invitations within one week of ordering!
Perfect Invitation
I love how this invitation fit my military themed wedding perfectly. Magnet Street also has matching Thank you cards that I love so much. I have told all of my friends about this website. They have great quality invitations for a really great price!

sweetFrog, a soft-serve frozen yogurt chain, is coming to the Kinston Plaza next week.
Owners Matt and Tonia Peake of the Richmond, Va., area are opening the doors to the public Thursday. Kinston native Steve Thurnau will be managing the business.
One reason why the couple is locating in Kinston is because Matt Peake has family living in New Bern, he said.
Peake said he researched the area and found Kinston to be a "great spot."
"We just really love the Eastern North Carolina small towns," he said.
Customers can select from 21 premium frozen yogurt flavors, mixing them if they desire, and add as little or as many toppings as they like.
"The reason we say 'premium,' " Peake said, "is that it tastes so good, not because of the cost."
The desserts are weighed and charged by the ounce, so the cost is determined by what each customer takes. The shop charges 40 cents an ounce.
"This is a much more affordable option for a family going out for a treat," Peake said.
The "Frog" in sweetFrog stands for Fully Rely On God, which Peake said is in line with his purpose — not to preach, but to give back to the community.
sweetFrog — with about 160 stores in more than 15 states — is known for supporting children overseas, children's hospitals and Special Olympics. Peake said he plans to support various local community efforts.
Working in investment management and financial planning, Peake earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics in 1996 at the University of Virginia. He owned a wholesale toy company in Midlothian, Va.
Peake learned about sweetFrog from a friend. He, his wife and their three children decided to try it out.
"I went with my family, he said, "and found that not only is it a great-tasting treat, but it is affordable."
Peake lost his job earlier this year because of the economy and decided to open the shop here in Kinston.
Customers can keep up with specials and promotions by visiting facebook.com/sweetFrogKinstonNC.
sweetFrog, 2405 N. Herritage St., Suite F, will be open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sundays beginning Thursday. For more information, call 252-522-FROG (3764).

Anthony Wallace, who has owned barber shops in Snow Hill and Farmville, has closed both shops and now operates The Barber Shop in Maury.
A native of Washington, he's lived in the township of Lizzie for 10 years and was known for his haircuts and shaves across from the Greene County Courthouse.
His goal was to open several shops but he discovered, "I'm a one-shop man," he said.
"I just miss Greene County and it's closer to home," he said was the reason he is working in Maury, which is central in the county, close to Lizzie and ideal for the many farmers who live and work nearby.
The shop features the old-time lighted barber pole out front.
"I got the old-school barber shop look," he said.
Inside the shop, visitors can peruse his collections, including barber tools from as early as the 1930s, North Carolina team items, Greene County band items going back to the 1970s and Greene Central High School and local fire department memorabilia.
Wallace, a master barber, graduated from Headquarters Barber Styling Academy in Jacksonville in 1999.
His specialty is the old-fashioned steam straight razor shaves and hot towel.
"Once somebody gets one," he said, "it's hard to get them to shave, anymore."
He offers haircuts, including children's and military cuts, and regular shaves for $10 each.
Wallace is known for supporting activities in the community, and he said he plans to sponsor local sport teams through the recreation center.
The Barber Shop, 3099 N.C. 903 North, Maury, is open 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturdays. For more information, call 252-933-3848.
Margaret Fisher can be reached at 252-559-1082 or email@example.com.

10 Key Elements of Web Frameworks
As we improve our own internal web framework that powers iContact, we've identified some key things you should look for in any web framework.
Must haves:
1. Request
2. Response
3. RequestHandler
These must haves provide an abstraction for the key elements of any web framework, whether it be MVC or otherwise. Having objects to encapsulate the request and send back a response allow for many tasks to be simple. Most importantly, they allow you to construct a test harness that doesn't have to jump through hoops to process headers or handle sessions.
