At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To give your healthcare provider important information about the current status of your kidneys and liver as well as electrolyte and acid/base balance and levels of blood glucose and blood proteins; to monitor known conditions, such as hypertension, and to monitor the use of medications to check for any kidney- or liver-related side effects
When to Get Tested?
As part of a routine health exam; when you are being monitored for a specific condition or are taking medications that may impact your kidney or liver
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
You may need to fast for 10-12 hours prior to sample collection; follow any instructions you are given.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
The comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) is a frequently ordered panel of 14 tests that gives a healthcare provider important information about the current status of a person's kidneys and liver, electrolyte and acid/base balance as well as levels of blood glucose and blood proteins. Abnormal results, and especially combinations of abnormal results, can indicate a problem that needs to be addressed.
The CMP includes the following tests:
- Glucose - energy source for the body; a steady supply must be available for use, and a relatively constant level of glucose must be maintained in the blood.
- Calcium - one of the most important minerals in the body; essential for the proper functioning of muscles, nerves, and the heart and is required in blood clotting and in the formation of bones
- Albumin - a small protein produced in the liver; the major protein in serum
- Total Protein - measures albumin as well as all other proteins in serum
- Sodium - vital to normal body processes, including nerve and muscle function
- Potassium - vital to cell metabolism and muscle function
- CO2 (carbon dioxide, bicarbonate) - helps to maintain the body's acid-base balance (pH)
- Chloride - helps to regulate the amount of fluid in the body and maintain the acid-base balance
Kidney Tests
- BUN (blood urea nitrogen) - waste product filtered out of the blood by the kidneys; conditions that affect the kidney have the potential to affect the amount of urea in the blood.
- Creatinine - waste product produced in the muscles; filtered out of the blood by the kidneys so blood levels are a good indication of how well the kidneys are working
Liver Tests
- ALP (alkaline phosphatase) - enzyme found in the liver and other tissues, bone; elevated levels of ALP in the blood are most commonly caused by liver disease or bone disorders.
- ALT (alanine amino transferase, also called SGPT) - enzyme found mostly in the cells of the liver and kidney; a useful test for detecting liver damage
- AST (aspartate amino transferase, also called SGOT) - enzyme found especially in cells in the heart and liver; also a useful test for detecting liver damage
- Bilirubin - waste product produced by the liver as it breaks down and recycles aged red blood cells
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?
You may need to fast (nothing but water) for 10 to 12 hours prior to the blood draw. Depending on the reason for ordering the CMP, it may be drawn after fasting or on a random basis.

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.

Falcon Swimming Ends 2010 with Split Decisions at St. Leo
December 31, 2010
ST. LEO, F.L. – Before ringing in the New Year, Pfeiffer University split a pair of swimming decision on their winter break trip to Florida and St. Leo University. The Falcon men scored a 240-196 victory while the Lady Falcons fell 266-146 to the Lady Lions. Pfeiffer scored five race wins, all on the men's side, in the 20-event meet.
The trio of Charlie Melesh, Zach McMichael and George Moreno scored the first victory of the afternoon in the 300-yard butterfly. Pfeiffer's "A" relay team bested St. Leo by more than three and a half seconds. The Falcons snagged the top two spots during the next 300 backstroke relay as Melesh teamed up with Kevin Parks and Andrew Corley for the win. Torres, Matt Money and Mark Franz finished right behind in second.
The relay wins continued for the Falcons in the 800 freestyle as Moreno, Melesh, Corley and Torres registered the win by more than 16 seconds over the Lions. Torres would later score the only individual win of the afternoon in the 400 individual medley before scoring the final relay win in the 400 free. Torres, Moreno, Melesh and Jim Roddenbery all contributed in the final victory.
On the women's side, Pfeiffer notched three second place finishing during the relays and in one individual event. The first runner-up position for the ladies came in the 300 backstroke. Shelby Carrion, Vera DeFusco and Melissa Roberts came up just short of the top spot. Two events later in the 800 free, Morgan Dionne, Jillian Kniffen, Haley Carter and Samantha Maness would do the same.
The final relay second-place finish came in the 400 medley relay as St. Leo edged the team of Yukina Onoda, Kniffen, Carrion and Carter during the final sprints. Kniffen notched the lone individual finish in second concluding the 400 IM in just over 4:41.
Next up in the first month of 2011 will be a dual meet at Mars Hill on Saturday, January 15th. The Falcons will face their second-straight Lions mascot at 12:00 p.m.

Sam Cane says the Springboks remain the scalp the All Blacks most covet and the challenge of winning on their turf will ensure there's no complacency in their ranks.
The Blacks won the Rugby Championship title with victory over Argentina on Saturday, rendering their forthcoming meeting with the Springboks in Soweto inconsequential in terms of log standings.
However, the Springboks will be desperate to beat the team they consider the benchmark in the game, and do so in front of a crowd that is expected to top 65 000.
New Zealand fielded a significantly weakened team in Port Elizabeth when they were in a similar position in the 2011 Tri-Nations, but have indicated they will play their best combinations this time around. The tourists have dominated this fixture in recent years, winning regularly home and away. There is a sense among some that this has eroded its appeal for the Blacks, but Cane refuted that suggestion.
'Complacency won't be an issue at all. We've won the championship but have parked that now. This has always been a big Test match and hearing from the older guys in the team it is more rewarding to win over here than it is back home. This is absolutely still our biggest challenge. To win here would be special because it is one of the hardest places in the world to achieve that,' he said.
The Springboks spurned an excellent opportunity to beat the Blacks in Dunedin three weeks ago, having bossed the forward exchanges and dominated territory and possession. Steve Hansen's men struggled to get any momentum into their attacking game thanks to an accurate and physical defensive effort. Cane said this would be a decisive facet of play once more.
'Their clean-out was exceptional, they put on a lot of heat there,' he said. 'We probably didn't adjust well enough. We improved in Argentina and must grow that area of our game.
'If we dominate collisions and get the gainline it will allow our loose forwards to get them off the ball. It will be pretty important to who wins.'
He added that the Springboks' approach has been predictable but Johan Goosen's inclusion makes them less so. 'Typically over the last few years the Boks have tried to dominate in the forwards then gone to the air (up and unders). But with [Goosen] there, he lends them some attacking game. It'll be interesting to see what they bring.'
The Springboks lost to the Blacks in their first outing at Soccer City in 2010. On that occasion the crowd support was deafening at times and Cane was wary of the Springboks getting off to a flyer and fuelling their fire of those in the stands.
'They'll have about 90 000 behind them so it's important to start well and take the crowd out of the equation, like we did on Saturday. If they got on a roll they can almost grow another arm and a leg.'
By Ryan Vrede, in Johannesburg

Retailers are already thinking beyond Thanksgiving.
Hanes sent out an email to potential customers this week advertising its "pre-Black-Friday exclusive" deal.
Walmart says shoppers have already committed $400 million on laid-away holiday iPads, giant-screen TVs and other popular gifts.
The companies that leak Black Friday ads early are making the circulars available on websites. The annual holiday push gets earlier each passing year.
It's a bandwagon onto which small businesses say they have little choice but to jump.
Last year at Libby Lou's Gifts & Accessories, operating out of The Teacher Box in Gastonia, purposely waited until after Halloween for The Elf on the Shelf and other holiday-themed offerings.
The experience taught owners Lou Ann Gibson and Libby Stines not to lag behind the trendsetters, Gibson says.
"People would come in and say, 'You have everything the Christmas show has' or they'd say, 'I wish I'd come here first,'" she recalls.
Shoppers are talking about the Southern Christmas Show held in Charlotte every year — an event the local retailers say helped them decide to have the holiday open house the first weekend in November. That's a week before the popular expo.
A small stock of Christmas items has already yielded a few sales for Libby Lou's so far this year. But around a dozen people have been asking when the merchandise is going to show up in the store.
That dozen is nothing to sneeze at when your shop is as small as year-old Libby Lou's.
"I think people just start early to plan their gifts and budget their months," Gibson says.
In a nod to the big boxes that dominate the industry, Stines says she's also seen a lot of TV advertising about the Walmart layaway. It reminds consumers the holiday is closing in.
"As soon as Halloween is over, that Christmas wreath goes on the front door and, boom, it's Christmas," Gibson says.
The retailer, in other words, has to be ahead of the shopper sentiment, with shelves ready and lights twinkling by the time customers want to buy.
Jeff Lee is learning that starts long before the TV commercials or leaked ads.
The owner of The Vintage Nest in Mount Holly, he has yet to hear his customers talking Christmas. Still, his rustic-theme tree is up and decked with handcrafted gingham and jute candy canes.
A few baskets of handmade ornaments are for sale alongside the repurposed and repainted furniture and decorative items.
Lee, in his first year downtown in Mount Holly, noticed suppliers started the push for holiday items in June.
Now he knows why.
Lee put in a Christmas order last week. When he checked today, his wholesaler had so many others they hadn't gotten around to processing The Vintage Nest request.
In the future, he says, Christmas will come earlier.

Daily Cow Tip
- Mrs. Anne Picket began operating Wisconsins first cheese factory in 1841 on the family farm near Lake Mills using milk from her neighbors' cows to produce butter and cheese. This continued until 1845, when the level of production and demand grew too large for her kitchen. By 1869, Wisconsin produced over 3 million pounds of cheese, and that number would more than quadruple within 10 years.The nations first dairy school was created at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1890, where it remains the countrys top Dairy Science Department.Several popular cheese varieties were invented in Wisconsin. Brick Cheese was invented in 1877 and named for its brick-like shape created when real bricks are used to press moisture from the cheese. And Colby Cheese was created in Colby, Wis. in 1885.Wisconsin has been a leader in dairying for more than a century and was officially named Americas Dairyland in 1930.National June Dairy Month began as National Milk Month in 1937 as a way to promote drinking milk. Wisconsin held its first June Dairy Month in 1939, expanding the celebration to include milk, cheese, butter and ice cream.Wisconsin dairies help to fuel our state economy at the rate of more than $50,000 per minute. These dollars support schools, roads and businesses in our local communities.Wisconsin dairy cows produce much more than just great milk each cow generates more than $21,000 each year in economic activity. This means the average 250-cow dairy farm contributes more than $5 million each year to our states economy.Dairy is the largest segment of Wisconsin Agriculture, employing 146,000 people across 300 different careers.Wisconsin is currently home to 1.27 million dairy cows thats as many cows as there are Wisconsin school children!Wisconsin has more dairy cows per square mile than any other state.The average yearly milk production for a Wisconsin cow is 21,693 pounds (or 2,522 gallons). Thats more than 40,300 8-ounce glasses of milk from just one cow enough for you to drink 110 glasses of milk every day for a year!It takes 12 pounds of milk to make one gallon of ice cream, 10 pounds of milk to make one pound of cheese, and 21.8 pounds of milk to make one pound of butter.Wisconsin cheesemakers produced a record-breaking 2.8 billion pounds of cheese in 2013; 52.6 million pounds more than 2012. If Wisconsin were a country, it would rank 4th in the world in terms of total cheese production, behind the U.S., Germany and France, and just ahead of Italy.Finding a favorite ice cream flavor in Wisconsin requires lots of sampling there are more than 300 different flavors produced within the state.

Why Capitalism?
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Allan H. Meltzer is one of the world's foremost authorities on the history of the U.S. Federal Reserve. From 1973 to 1999, he served as the chair of the Shadow Open Market Committee, a group of economists that critiqued the decisions of the Fed's Open Market Committee. He served on the Council of Economic Advisers for Presidents Kennedy and Reagan. In 2001, he published the first of a two volume history of the Federal Reserve and is completing work on the second volume. He chaired the International Financial Institution Advisory Committee which in 2003 recommended reforms at the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.
A distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution and the Allan H. Meltzer University Professor of Political Economy at the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University, Professor Meltzer has been awarded the Truman Medal for Economic Policy. Established in 2005, the medal recognizes economists who have made extraordinary contributions to the formation of economic policy. The award went to Alan Greenspan in 2005, George P. Shultz in 2007, and Paul Volker in 2009. The Truman Medal honors Meltzer's pioneering academic work in monetary policy, political theory, and economic history; his many practical contributions to improved economic policy; and his unswerving devotion to capitalism and individual liberty.
Dr. Meltzer's Athenaeum lecture is sponsored by the Dean of the Faculty at Claremont McKenna College.

Dr. Cook is also the author of Ruling But Not Governing: The Military and Political Development in Egypt, Algeria, and Turkey (John Hopkins press, 2007).
Dr. Cook has published widely in a variety of foreign policy journals, opinion magazines, and newspapers including Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, Wall Street Journal, Journal of Democracy, Weekly Standard, Slate, New Republic Online, New York Times, Washington Post, Financial Times, International Herald Tribune, and Survival.

Resilience in a Black Swan World
"The real fault line in American politics is not between liberals and conservatives.... It is, rather, in how we orient ourselves to the generations to come who will bear the consequences, for better and for worse, of our actions."
-David Orr, from Down to the Wire: Confronting Climate Collapse. (Oxford University Press, 2009)
David W. Orr is the Paul Sears Distinguished Professor of Environmental Studies and Politics and Special Assistant to the President of Oberlin College and Executive Director of the Oberlin Project. He is the recipient of seven Honorary degrees and other awards including The Millennium Leadership Award from Global Green, the Bioneers Award, the National Wildlife Federation Leadership Award, a Lyndhurst Prize acknowledging "persons of exceptional moral character, vision, and energy," and the Santa Monica Library "Pioneer Award for contributions to sustainability literature."
Orr's career as a scholar, teacher, writer, speaker, and entrepreneur spans fields as diverse as environment and politics, environmental education, campus greening, green building, ecological design, and climate change. He is the author of seven books and co-editor of three others. His first book, Ecological Literacy (SUNY, 1992), was described as a "true classic" by Garrett Hardin. A second book, Earth in Mind (1994/2004) is praised by people as diverse as biologist E. O. Wilson and writer, poet, and farmer, Wendell Berry. Both are widely read and used in hundreds of colleges and universities. Hope is an Imperative: The Essential David Orr (Island Press, 2010) is a collection of his writings from 1985 to 2010.
In 1996 he organized the effort to design the first substantially green building on a U.S. college campus. The Adam Joseph Lewis Center at Oberlin was later named by the U.S. Department of Energy as "One of Thirty Milestone Buildings in the 20th Century," and by The New York Times as the most interesting of a new generation of college and university buildings. The Lewis Center purifies all of its wastewater and is the first college building in the U.S. powered entirely by sunlight. But most important it became a laboratory in sustainability that is training some of the nation's brightest and most dedicated students for careers in solving environmental problems.
In an influential article in the Chronicle of Higher Education 2000 Orr proposed the goal of carbon neutrality for colleges and universities and subsequently organized and funded an effort to define a carbon neutral plan for his own campus at Oberlin. Seven years later hundreds of colleges and universities, including Oberlin, have made that pledge.
Recent projects include a two year $1.2 million collaborative project to define a 100 days climate action plan for the Obama administration (http://www.climateactionproject.com), and a project with prominent legal scholars across the U.S. to define the legal rights of posterity in cases where the actions of the present generation might deprive posterity of "life, liberty, and property." He is also active in efforts to stop mountaintop removal in Appalachia and develop a new economy based on ecological restoration and wind energy. He is presently the Executive Director of the Oberlin Project which is focused on making the City of Oberlin a model of full-spectrum sustainability and replicating that effort through a National Sustainable Communities Coalition.
David Orr's talk is cosponsored by the Roberts Environmental Center at Claremont McKenna College.
Why Mahler? And Other Cultural Brain-Benders
Mahler scholar, author, novelist, and cultural commentator, Norman Lebrecht has written several best-selling works of nonfiction, including The Maestro Myth: Great Conductors in Pursuit of Power (2001) and Who Killed Classical Music? Maestros, Managers, and Corporate Politics (1997). He is also the award-winning author of the novels The Song of Names (2002) and The Game of Opposites (2010). He writes regularly for Bloomberg.com and The Wall Street Journal, and he presents The Lebrecht Interview series on BBC Radio 3 and The Record Doctor on WNYC. He lives in London.
It is Claremont's good fortune that Norman Lebrecht has come to Los Angeles for a series of lectures, interviews, and pre-concert talks as part of the Mahler Project.
Born in 1860, 2010 has seen the 150th anniversary of Gustav Mahler's birth and 2011 will see the 100th anniversary of his death. Throughout the year venues around the world are holding concerts in celebration of his life and work. Over the course of just a few weeks, Gustavo Dudamel will accomplish the extraordinary: leading all of Mahler's completed symphonies (and more) with two orchestras, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela. The Mahler Project, which runs from January 13 - February 18, will be repeated by both orchestras in Caracas, Venezuela, completing a remarkable international collaboration to honor the 100th anniversary of Mahler's death.

Mr. Kotkin's visit to CMC is sponsored by the Rose Institute for State and Local Government and he will be speaking on the subject of "Class in California."
Is Evolutionary Psychology Misleading Us?
Evolutionary psychology is very popular. Evolutionary psychologists draw on insights about our ancient ancestors to support modern psychological theories. Much of the time, these theories are reductionist or nativist theories that downplay the importance of social influences and learning on human behavior. In contrast, Prof. Boyd will argue that evolutionary insights do not favor reductionist or nativist theories. Instead, evolutionary psychology may be ignoring important theories that emphasize learning and social influences.
Richard Boyd has had a long and distinguished career as a member of the faculty at Cornell University, where he is the Susan Linn Sage Professor of Philosophy and Professor of Science and Technology Studies. He is well known for his work in philosophy of science, philosophy of mind, and ethics -- particularly on moral realism.
Boyd became interested in the philosophy of science while an undergraduate mathematics major at MIT, where he later earned a Ph.D. in philosophy with a dissertation in mathematical logic. His original interests in foundational issues in philosophy of science have expanded to include interests in metaphysics (especially the metaphysics of kinds and categories - like biological species and chemical compounds - and of causation), in epistemology (especially in competing notions of rationality and objectivity), in philosophy of biology (especially in issues about the foundations of biological taxonomy and about methods in sociobiology), in philosophy of mind and language and in the foundations of ethics.
Professor Boyd is visiting CMC this semester as a Podlich Distinguished Fellow. The Podlich Distinguished Fellows Program was founded by Claremont McKenna College alumnus and trustee William F. Podlich in 1998 to enrich the College intellectually by bringing preeminent figures in scholarship, business, and public affairs to campus for extended visits. While at CMC, Professor Boyd is teaching an upper division seminar in Philosophy of Science.
The Constitutionality of Health Care Reform and the Supreme Court
What would George Washington have thought of the so-called "individual mandate"? By looking at Founding-era sources, from the Federalist Papers to Washington's letters, Wydra argues that our Founders sought to create a federal government capable of providing national solutions to national problems - national problems such as the nationwide health care crisis that saw millions of Americans unable to access quality, affordable care. This original understanding of the powers of the federal government has been carried on through Supreme Court rulings from the Founding to the present, and Wydra discusses possible outcomes for the challenges to the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act when the Supreme Court rules on the case later this year.
Elizabeth Wydra is the Constitutional Accountability Center's Chief Counsel. The Constitutional Accountability Center (CAC) is a think tank, law firm, and action center dedicated to fulfilling the progressive promise of the U.S. Constitution's text and history. She frequently participates in Supreme Court litigation, for which she has been honored for her exemplary writing, and has argued several important cases in the federal courts of appeals. Elizabeth joined CAC from private practice at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, where she was an attorney working with former Stanford Law School Dean Kathleen Sullivan in the firm's Supreme Court/appellate practice.
Previously, Ms. Wydra was a supervising attorney and teaching fellow at the Georgetown University Law Center appellate litigation clinic, and a law clerk for Judge James R. Browning of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. Elizabeth has appeared as a legal expert on "Countdown with Keith Olbermann," and for the BBC, NBC, ABC, and Fox News, as well as NPR's "All Things Considered" and nationally-syndicated radio programs.
Elizabeth Wydra has been quoted extensively in the print media and her writings have appeared in Politico, Slate, and the Huffington Post, among others. Her academic work has been published in the Syracuse Law Review, the UCLA Journal of Environmental Law, and the Yale Journal of International Law.
Elizabeth is a graduate of Yale Law School. She is currently representing more than 500 State Legislators from all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, supporting the constitutionality of health care reform in the Supreme Court.

He was talking ok today in Colorado with his friend the teleprompter. Hes been the Pres for 4 years shoudn't he know the answers to any questions that was tossed his way. Maybe if he attended a jobs council meeting more than once in his term he would know something about jobs. Maybe if he attended a security meeting instead of having it delivered to him like the newspaper he would know something. He is clueless and his last 4 yrs are proof. Without his teleprompter and every word written for him he alsways talks like he did last night, listen to him on the talk shows.

Dave Franco Proves Two Francos Are Better Than One – The Daily Swoon
Did you know that James Franco has a younger brother who is also an actor and is also unbelievably cute? Meet Dave Franco and get into it, guys.
You may have caught Dave's talents on the big screen in films like '21 Jump Street,' in which he played the popular dude in school, or the recent 'Warm Bodies.' Franco also had a part on the last season of the television show 'Scrubs.'
He's arguably just as cute as his brother, with that same mischievous smile, those killer eyebrows, and that INSANELY perfect hair, but he's younger, so it's like if you had James Franco and he was getting too old and broke a hip or something, you could just have his brother — in theory.
I'm not going to get presumptuous here, but I imagine you might be able to strike up some sort of a bundle deal, like paying for cable and internet from the same company for a discount.
Anyway … since Dave is just as funny, pretty and talented as his older bro, you should probably look forward to seeing much more of him very soon.

Selynida emailed me the following regarding 10s and 25s:
I had written this comment to your blog, and unfortunately I seem to have vastly passed the character limit... however I still wanted to provide it.
One thing that is often missed is looking at history, players flock to whatever provides the most efficient access to powerful epics. Look at raid/PVP history through the expansions:
Pre-TBC, Pre patch 2.0, players primarily raided to obtain the best possible gear. There was no alternative at the highest end (Naxx/AQ 40) and the PVP gear required an even larger time commitment due to the original honor system.
Patch 2.0 pre TBC, players flocked to Battlegrounds, because the dynamic had shifted. It was now possible to completely circumvent the first several tiers of raiding (ZG, AQ 20, MC and BWL) simply by doing battle grounds and obtaining gear at a much more efficient route. Guilds that had touted themselves as raiding guilds ended up collapsing and/or simply running PVP pre mades to quickly stomp randomly assembled pugs to get the gear and marks as quickly as possible. Yet, even this is a bit of poor view, as most of these pre mades never wanted to face another pre made, and actively sent scouts into the BGs ahead of the group specifically to see if they would have to put in effort. This behavior persisted until TBC came out and provided a gear reset making most of the gear negligible.
Post TBC, Arena Season 1 and Season 2, even with a new 10 man introduced, heroics, and new raid encounters, the Arena was played by almost everyone, PVE and PVP player alike as there was no requirements to obtain the gear. You could lose every game a week, and get gear that equaled or surpassed the current raid tier. At the same time, the raid tier was restrictive both due to the initial tuned level of the encounters, attunement chains requiring guilds to go out of their way to make it so members could even attend the raids (SSC and TK attunements), and under-itemized initial raiding gear from the first tier of raiding. Dancing for Points was born here. This persisted until a combination of raid gear was re-itemized, attunements were lifted and removed, encounters were retuned and Arena began requiring person ratings to acquire the best items.
Late TBC, pre patch 3.0, Badge of Justice drops from Karazhan were introduced and were able to provide gear of the equivalent from the highest tier raid that existed at the time (Sunwell Plateau). At this time, players began flocking to Karazhan and farming it extensively on characters of all gear levels, as well as doing the, now trivialized through gear creep, heroic five man instances in order to obtain gear that was on par with the best in the game. Karazhan became "The most popular raid of all time" not because it was the most fun, the dynamics of only requiring 10 people, or because of the gear that drops, but simply due to the high Badge of Justice/Time ratio. Unrealistic requirements were set by the vast majority of guilds resulting in a harder time to break into raiding, despite so much better gear being made available through it; all for the sake of plowing through the trivial content faster.
Mid TBC, Early seasons of arena gear provided through Honor resulted in Battlegrounds again receiving a surge in popularity. However, it wasn't just the vast number of people playing so many Battlegrounds; it also was a large number of other issues associated with it. While it was providing gear that was a little behind the curve, it was being done at a much faster rate and with much less effort. Also, it rewarded mere attendance in some battlegrounds, and not actual participation resulting in many of the AFK Botting issues that have seen so many issues. Players didn't want to actually participate, they simply wanted the rewards.
Late TBC, Post patch 3.0, boss 're-tuning' and the removal of all attunements resulted in an explosion of guilds and raids going at least 4/5 in Mount Hyjal and also getting several bosses in Black Temple down. This combined with the still best Badge/Time ratio that Karazhan offered resulted in an incredibly fast gear up time from PVE. It was a similar situation as the end of Vanilla, after Patch 2.0, except instead of flooding Battlegrounds, guilds instead flooded the now substantially easier PVE content.
Early WoTLK, Early raid content was again tuned on the same level as post patch 3.0 TBC bosses were resulting in a much lower entry level for getting into raiding than ever before. Between the additions of easy to obtain epics at a much faster rate than other avenues 10 and 25 raids began to flourish. All content was regularly cleared by a majority of guilds with the exceptions of achievement kills (Sartharion with additional Drakes, 6 Minute Malygos, etc). Since the quality of gear from the 25 man raids were so much better than anything else available, many players who only wanted to PVP went to the PVE game simply to obtain certain weapons (Betrayer of Humanity, Envoy of Mortality, Turning Tide, etc) to actually do the activities they wanted to.
Early WoTLK, Vault is added. This happened concurrently with the previous point; however, a special note should be added to Vault. Vault provided a substantially easier way to obtain many pieces of gear, both PVE and PVP at a fraction of the time. It was substantially easier than the actual content of the level (with the potential exception of Emalon; though this was rectified with Koralon and Toravon so much lower tuned). Each season Vault was updated to provide gear, and with the short hiccup that was Emalon the bosses remained trivial compared to the actual raid encounters of the actual tier. This provided a fast easy way to obtain easy epics of the highest level in a fraction of the time. I would honestly like to see the stats on number of times Vault has been run. I suspect that it has far eclipsed Karazhan as the "Most popular raid of all time."
Late WoTLK, Badge of Triumphs and the Random Dungeon Finder were added to make 5 man encounters substantially more enjoyable. By adding Frost Badges into the mix once a day, it even encouraged more people to be in the system. This was again touted as a huge success (And comparatively speaking, it was) but for the wrong reasons. The vast majority in the system weren't running the heroics because they enjoyed running heroics or doing dungeons, but they were doing it because it was simply the most efficient way to obtain easy gear. It was faster and more efficient to run heroics through the queue system of the Random Dungeon Finder than it was to run any previous level of content.
Throughout the history of this game, players flock to the easiest ways to get high quality loot. It doesn't matter if that way is PVE or PVP centric, players will go to the highest quality for the lowest effort. Currently 25 (Or at least early Tier 10 content in 25s) is the highest quality for the lowest effort, with so many bosses killable by a majority of guilds all rewarding close to the best loot in the game. When Cataclysm is released, the best loot will be equally rewarded from 10 or 25 man content. However, even if it is just a logistical issue of not having as many to compete with as many people and needing less people to form a successful raid, the 10s will flourish; and it will be touted as a success of the system, similar to Arena Season two, and the RDF systems were, but it will be claimed as such because of how "Fun" it is.
Pretty much everything Selynida has written is true. However, one crucial aspect may have been missed. People always flock to the the easiest ways to get the higher quality loot. However, there is a question of whether they do this in addition to their preferred activities, or instead of those activities.
In the past, people have always done their regular activities. When PvP was the fastest way to loot, people still did large raids. They PvP'd as well for gear, but they didn't give up raiding.
That's the real key, I think. This is pretty much the first time in WoW that activities will become mutually exclusive. So events may play out in unforseen ways.

It is a reference to an blood condition due to the toxic effect of a particular face powder used during a period when it was fashionable to look incredibly pale. The resulting condition made the veins close to the surface of the skin look very pronounced and have a deep blue hue. Or another take on this is this "It was the Spaniards who gave the world the notion that an aristocrat's blood is not red but blue. The Spanish nobility started taking shape around the ninth century in classic military fashion, occupying land as warriors on horseback. They were to continue the process for more than five hundred years, clawing back sections of the peninsula from its Moorish occupiers, and a nobleman demonstrated his pedigree by holding up his sword arm to display the filigree of blue-blooded veins beneath his pale skin—proof that his birth had not been contaminated by the dark-skinned enemy."

He knows what to expect on the gridiron, but Carolina Panther's center Jeff Byers didn't know what to expect when it came to Marines and martial arts.
The Marines of Ground Supply School aboard Camp Johnson got a chance to grapple with Byers during a martial arts session Wednesday.
"I didn't know what to expect," said Byers, who is an ambassador for the USO of North Carolina. "There's nothing like wrestling and throwing guys around into the dirt."
Cpl. Razeem Saheed, 22, of San Jose, Calif., taught the class and demonstrated moves like the hip-throw to about 25 Marines shortly after combat conditioning exercises came to an end. When it came time to perform the moves, Byers wasn't short on Marines who volunteered to get thrown around.
"This is wonderful. I'm blown away by everything," Byers said after the martial arts training. "To see what they do and the training they undergo is humbling. It makes me proud to be an American."
The Marine Corps Martial Arts Program, at just over a decade old, is designed to hone hand-to-hand combat skills through a combination of several martial arts.
"It's definitely made me more disciplined," Saheed said. "You take things in stride a lot more. You learn to figure things out and understand the method behind everything."
Byers said when he was asked to participate he couldn't turn down the offer.
"It feels very good to give back," Byers said. "It puts my life into perspective. The troops allow me to do what I do."
Gunnery Sgt Victor Rosa, of Bronx, N.Y., walked away with a scratch on his face after grappling the 310-pound NFL player.
"He's strong," said Rosa after his match with Byers. "He's a really big boy but I'm pretty sure if I kept him in there for a little bit longer I could have had him."
That mentality, according to Saheed, comes from the Corps ethos as well as its martial arts training.
"Being a Marine is mentally and physically demanding," Saheed said. "Martial arts helps Marines get in that combat mindset. We are fighters."
Byers also visited schools aboard Camp Johnson, rode in simulators, did physical training and got to supervise a field medical exercise with a simulated Marine casualty, all on Wednesday.
"He has volunteered to be the USO of North Carolina ambassador for the year," said Deb Fisher, the director of the USO of North Carolina in Jacksonville. "We are trying to take him on bases and let him learn more about the military because he has no military background. It was a pretty cool experience watching him interact with the Marines and sailors."
Byers will also be attending the deployment of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit Thursday, March 7.
"It's important for the troops," Fisher said. "That's the most important thing. For a celebrity to take time out and go say thank you for what they are doing … it helps build morale and lets the troops know they are being thought of."
Byers had one message to everyone who has ever or will ever wear a military uniform after participating in the matches.
"Thank you," Byers said. "Keep fighting the good fight. We as Americans believe in you."
