Public Act 4 of 2011 focused on emergency managers (EMs), who were appointed by the governor to take over local municipalities and school districts in financial distress. Among other things, PA 4 provides for:
- The conditions under which a formal review of the finances of a municipality or school district;
- The powers of the committee performing such a review;
- The conditions and procedures under which the Governor may appoint an EM for a municipality or school district following such a review; and
- The powers of the EM.[1]
Public Act 4 went into effect on March 16, 2011.
In Michigan, if a referendum proposal passes, the law is adopted; if the proposal is defeated, the law will not take effect. This means that voters wishing for PA 4 to take effect voted yes, while voters opposing PA 4 voted no.
According to reports, cities that had appointed emergency managers or were in the middle of a state takeover at the time of the referendum's proposal included Flint, Benton Harbor, Ecorse, Pontiac and Detroit Public Schools.[2]
Following the defeat of Proposal 1 during the 2012 general election, it is unknown what will become of the emergency managers already appointed by the governor. Robert Davis, an opponent of the law, believes that all existing managers should be removed from their positions, and has filed a lawsuit pushing the courts for an answer. The Michigan Court of Appeals quickly reviewed the case and determined that the managers will stay in place under Public Act 72, the predecessor to PA 4. However, the case now goes to the Michigan Supreme Court and is set to be heard on December 5. Though Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette believes that the citizens essentially repealed PA 4's repeal of PA 72, thereby restoring the original law, early signs indicate that the supreme court may not agree. During a lawsuit over the referendum's placement on the ballot, Chief Justice Robert Young, Jr. said, "Whenever a statute, or any part thereof shall be repealed by a subsequent statute, such statute, or any part thereof, so repealed, shall not be revived by the repeal of such subsequent repealing statute."[3]
Supporters' response, new bill
Following the measure's defeat, Governor Rick Snyder and state lawmakers quickly began the process finding a replacement for the law.[4] On December 13, 2012, the Michigan legislature approved a new version of the bill which was then signed by Gov. Snyder on December 27. The new bill offers financially troubled local governments the ability to choose from four options: accept an emergency manager, undergo bankruptcy, enter into a mediation process, or join the state in a partnership called a consent agreement. Choosing one of these options is mandatory, however, and governments that qualify are not allowed to opt out of the program. Opponents of the new bill said that no matter what option is chosen, the result would be state-oversight. Though such oversight is essentially what voters rejected during the 2012 general election, the new bill is not subject to referendum because it contains appropriations in the form of providing for emergency managers' salaries.[5][6]

Text of measure
The official ballot text read as follows:[7]
Public Act 4 of 2011 would:
- Establish criteria to assess the financial condition of local government units, including school districts.
- Authorize Governor to appoint an emergency manager (EM) upon state finding of a financial emergency, and allow the EM to act in place of local government officials.
- Require EM to develop financial and operating plans, which may include modification or termination of contracts, reorganization of government, and determination of expenditures, services, and use of assets until the emergency is resolved.
- Alternatively, authorize state-appointed review team to enter into a local government approved consent decree.
Should this law be approved?
In mid-August 2011 Gov. Rick Snyder submitted an executive message to the state's court in request that the law be reviewed by the Michigan Supreme Court.[8]
Snyder's request came after a lawsuit was filed in June 2011 by a group of 28 people against Snyder and State Treasurer Andy Dillon. The lawsuit argued that the state law should be suspended due to conflicts with the Michigan Constitution. Specifically, plaintiffs argued that the law "violates the rights of local voters by attempting to delegate law-making power and the power to adopt local acts to unelected emergency mangers, by suspending the rights of local electors to establish charters and to elect local officials, and by imposing substantial new costs and expenses upon local municipalities without providing new revenue."[8]
The lawsuit was filed in Ingham County.
Snyder's request read in part:[8]
[T]he Act can serve as an essential tool to address the austere fiscal realities local units of government face after a decade of economic challenges. Without a bypass, this lawsuit may take years to reach finality, regardless of the substantive disposition of this case; the subject matter requires an expeditious resolution.
On Tuesday, March 21, 2012, Judgepedia:Ingham County Circuit Court Judge Rosemarie Aquilina ruled against the state saying that its review team violated the Open Meetings Act during the process that eventually led to the appointment on an emergency manager in Flint. According to the ruling, Gov. Snyder's appointment of Michael Brown as emergency manager of Flint is now invalid, along with all decision made by him since his appointment. The state has said it plans to file an emergency appeal with the Michigan Court of Appeals.[9]
Support for Public Act 4
Supporters of PA 4 argued that the act was important to ensuring that local governments were financially stable.
- The group Citizens for Fiscal Responsibility opposed the referendum and successfully brought a challenge to the petitions submitted by opponents. The challenge was brought on the grounds that the petitions' font size was too small.[10]
- Governor Rick Snyder supported the law, saying, "Public Act 4 helps financially struggling cities and school districts to get back on track," Snyder said. "If the emergency manager law were to go away, debt in those local units of government would continue to pile up, bills would go unpaid, paychecks may not be sent, lights could be turned off, police and fire protection might not be provided, and students would be at risk of not having a school to attend. Michigan needs this law because it helps those communities to efficiently and effectively overcome financial problems and avoid painful long-term solutions, and that is good for all Michiganders."[11]

Opposition to Public Act 4
Stand Up for Democracy Campaign is a coalition that sought to place the referendum on the ballot.
Michigan Forward also supported placing PA 4 on the ballot. According to their website:
Public Act 4 of 2011, "The Local Government and School District Fiscal Accountability Act" has created elite bureaucrats with absolute power by expanding the role and power of Michigan's emergency financial managers. This legislation supersedes the previous emergency financial manager policy and court decisions that provide accountability and support democracy. Many municipalities and school districts in Michigan's urban areas are threatened by the extremes this policy takes in the sign of financial distress.
- On September 12, 2011, the Flint City Council passed a resolution in support of placing the proposed referendum. The resolution, according to reports, does not explicitly take a position on the issue but several city council members spoke out against the state law. Councilman Scott Kincaid said, "None of us like it, including myself. What we really need to do now is support the referendum."[13]
- Rep. Woodrow Stanley argued that any attempt to create a temporary emergency manager law would undermine the will of the people and infringe on the democratic process of voters electing their government leaders.[2]

- An EPIC-MRA poll conducted on September 8-11, 2012, found that 46 percent were in support of the measure and opposed the state law, while 42 percent were opposed and in support of the state law, and another 12% were undecided. The survey was based on a pool of 600 likely voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent.[17]

Initiative process
Stand Up for Democracy appeared before the Michigan Court of Appeals on May 17, 2012. The group argued that the Board of State Canvassers unjustly denied the referendum ballot access with a politically motivated vote. The board had a split vote on the issue with the two Republican members voting to keep it off the ballot because they deemed the print on the petitions to be too small. Stand Up for Democracy went before the court essentially arguing that it was the proper size.[18]
On June 8 a three-judge panel from the court of appeals ruled on the case deciding that the measure should appear on the ballot. The court said it reached its decision based on a precedent set by an earlier case which said a technical violation such as the wrong font size shouldn't keep a question off the ballot. In spite of the court's decision, however, this did not mean the emergency manager law was suspended until November. That would not take place until the State Board of Canvassers met and certified the measure, in response to the court's ruling.[19]
Upon receiving an appeal of the Court of Appeal's ruling by Citizens for Fiscal Responsibility, the Michigan Supreme Court scheduled oral arguments for July 25.[20]
On August 3, 2012, the Michigan Supreme Court decided 4-3 to keep the referendum on the ballot.[21]
Path to the ballot
- See also: Michigan signature requirements
In order to qualify the proposed referendum to the statewide ballot, supporters were required to collect 161,304 signatures (5% of the number of people who voted in the 2010 election for Governor) and turn them in 90 days after the final adjournment of the Legislature.
Stand Up for Democracy Campaign was the coalition leading the petition circulation efforts. According to reports, the group planned to complete their signature gathering process by September 2011.
- As of August 2011 an estimated 80,000 petitions were in circulation.[15]
- On August 16 supporters announced 120,000 signatures had been collected.[22]
- In early November 2011, supporters announced 130,000 signatures had been verified.[23]
- On February 29, 2012, members of the group Stand Up for Democracy delivered around 226,000 signatures to the state capitol. The Michigan Secretary of State has 60 days to verify that enough signatures are valid to place the referendum on this year's ballot.[24]
- On April 26, 2012, the State Board of Canvassers voted 2-2 on the referendum, thereby preventing it from appearing on this fall's ballot.[25]

"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
I don't care who the coach is, if you're roster is made up of guys with limited basketball knowledge and guys that don't belong in the league the coach will look bad.
People bring up guys like Popp, but even he's never had to deal with a roster this horrid.

New Orleans Hornets General Manager
The only problem I have with Monty is his love affair with Rivers. The dudes defense is awful, can't shoot, but plays a ton of minutes. Hopefully Gordon will start playing most of those minutes.
It too early to panic. Yes the play has been awful but a game has it's up and downs.
Bobcats its looking like Miami Heat out there.... get it done New Orleans !!!!! Jesus Ch.... We are playing vs Bobcats !!!!!!!!
David Wesley just did it!
This team is so unprepared
Dell Demps PLEASE get us some scorers!
so mkg is mj
Just think of all the people who never really watch the games who decided to check the team out tonight and see what the EG hype was all about. Then they see these guys fumbling and mumbling around the court looking like there's no plan or plays called. Embarrassing.
There u go gordon...good to see....shoot everytime please idc if u miss
You want to know why the arena is empty every nite, who wants to watch this ****, down 19 to this sorry *** team.
I always wondered why people said MKG couldn't be a scorer. Watching him in transition at UK was a thing of beauty.
My goodness did u c Henry on defense right there...so unathletic its a joke almost tripped over his own feet just pathetic

Solid week for the Bulls. I rested all of my starters. TMAC only played a couple minutes the whole week, and the rest of my starters played in backup roles. In 4 games I went 3-1. What surprised me the most was that I played the Raptors and the Wizards. Both teams are playoff teams in the east that I could be matched up against.
Huge week for me. Went 3-0 and now tied for 2nd seed in the West with Dallas and the Kings. I won all 3 games even with Cassell injured with blurred vision. I do have a question. It says Cassell is out for 5 days with his injury. Should I just put him on IR for the next sim?
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
Isn't this the last sim?
2013-1014 is the season the Pelicans fanbase grows!!!!
My team is fading right to the playoffs. 0-3 I don't understand this game at all.
Make sure to get your depth charts in for tomorrow.
I'm just going to give my guys a break for the remainder of the week. I don't think home court will matter much to me anyway if my team keeps playing like this.
Yeah, I'm gunna rest Stockton and my older guys. only 2 games left and honest they'll probably drop those two anyway LOL
I went 4-1. Terrible week for the future of my franchise lol, but I'm happy to finally put together a decent sim!
I am in final game tank more... ANGUS IS PEPPERED FOR 40+ PT LOSSES!
4-1 last 2 sims. Don't know why Ive been playing so little?
How do the Celtics have the 8th pick? I have have the pick and am glad it's so high, but how is it so high?
Unfortunately the TWolves don't have 1st round picks the next few seasons due to the Joe Smith scandal.
Yes, the true draft order is set by a lottory then team records. It can't be set until the lotto.

Judgement involving a 2006 dog chasing incident at Penny Pinchers of West Point was given to Penny Pinchers April 26 after the Mississippi Court of Appeals found the dog was not a threat to customers at the store.
On July 14, 2009, the Clay County Circuit Court awarded Lenetra Outlaw, a customer of Penny Pinchers, $130,000 after a jury found that a dachshund that chased Outlaw in the store and caused her injury was a danger to customers. Outlaw stated that once she entered the store and began walking down an aisle, the dog, Sophie, started chasing her, and Outlaw ran into the back freezer and tried to jump onto the freezer to avoid being bitten. Although she was not bitten, Outlaw, who had previous hip problems, injured her hip while trying to jump on the freezer and had to have surgery in 2006 following the incident.
Penny Pinchers argued that because the dog, which was brought to work everyday and kept behind the counter, never threatened or injured any customers at the store, the dog was not a threat and Outlaw could not prove that Sophie had previously been a danger at the store.
Although Penny Pinchers argued that there was no proof of Sophie ever being a danger to anyone and argued that she never exhibited any signs of danger while in the store, the Clay County Circuit Court denied their motion for a directed verdict, denied their motion for a new trial and gave Outlaw judgement. Penny Pinchers appealed.
The Court of Appeals found that for liability to be imposed on an owner of a dog, it must be proven that the dog was dangerous prior to the incident and it must be proven that the owner knew the dog was dangerous and could attack someone. The Court of Appeals agreed with Penny Pinchers that the dog owner had no reason to believe Sophie was a threat because she never barked at or attacked any customer, thus bringing the dog to the store each day created no danger to anyone at the store, they argued.
The Court argued that although the store had a duty to provide customers with reasonably safe conditions in the store, the store ŌĆ£is not required to keep the premises absolutely safe, or in such a condition that no accident could possibly happen to a customer. The owner is merely required to anticipate a result that is more apt to happen than not to happen, that is to say he must anticipate only such a result as is reasonably foreseeable as a probable consequence of his act.ŌĆØ Penny Pinchers did not anticipate the dog attacking or threatening anyone and believed it was safe to bring it to the store each day. The store was not required to protect customers from any possible injuries but only the injuries they could foresee, and the dog owner could not foresee a customer hurting himself from a dog chase and could not foresee the dog biting anyone. The judgement of the Clay County Circuit Court was reversed and rendered.

Just received the Fall "Adult And Continuing Education" catalog that goes out to all residents of my town. The catalog lists many non-credit classes open to local residents (for a fee). Things like Photography, Web Publishing, Spanish 101, Cooking, Tennis, Real Estate, etc. Anyway, I was browsing through it and I noticed that these classes are being offered (I am including a brief description as written in the catalog):
This class explains and discusses how, why, and when we choose to reincarnate and for what purpose. The Karmic laws that guide us through much of our lives will be explained in detail. Now you can understand how and to what extent your life is affected by prior incarnations and the laws of Karma.
Astrology is one of the most powerful tools available for understanding yourself and the types of people and events you attract. By examining your birth chart we will identify the patterns that prevent you from achieving what you want in matters of career, money, health, and all types of relationships.
Angels are among us and we all have access to them. They're ready and willing to help us in every aspect of our lives. Learn to communicate with your angels and accept their guidance and learn how to work with specific angels on a daily basis to improve all your relationships, increase prosperity and have a more fulfilling life.
Learn the basis of all holistic healing methods. We will discuss the nature and purpose of the etheric body (the aura), it's connection to the physical body & each energy center in detail.
The needle on the B.S. meter is pegged all the way. Interestingly, all of these courses are taught by the same woman. I just had to share this with you.

Set in various dystopian futures, these stories explore such themes as time travel, artificial/alien intelligence, authority, knowledge and the use or control of it, memory, and the frighteningly malleable nature of what we call "reality."
©2008 Scovil Chichak Galen Literary Agency; (P)2008 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"Reality questioned brilliantly!"
Philip K Dick is fantastic at weaving stories about what is reality, or what is living and what is not. These stories hit so many notes. Autofac - World is ended for humans (or is it?), and now the factories battle for resources. (Repeating why we go to war?) Electric Ant - Wow, are any of us really alive? Or just some experiment? Who knows! He will blow your mind.
The previous individual's review is horribly inaccurate. True, it's written long ago, but the ideas behind these stories each could make an episode of OUTER LIMITS, or even a Blockbuster Movie. Listen to the stories with an open mind, and understand what his reasons for writing them were.
I actually used Autofac as a 1st story read for my High School class.
"Not interesting enough"
I remember fondly some of the stories of Philip Dick that I read in my youth. However, I did not enjoy this collection. Maybe it was that the stories were written by Dick when he was still a young writer, maybe I have changed too much and no longer enjoy Dick as I used to. I did not finish this collection.
Some of the stories were also read by narrators that annoyed me.
Avid audiobook addict!
"Extremely old-fashioned"
Written when robotics were poorly understood and greatly feared, ditto computers. The utter lack of subtlety in these stories became quite tiresome. Definitely doesn't stand the test of time. Utter waste of a credit.

If you use JFK Airport for recreational or business flights, the JFK AirTrain may be perfect for you. Between the pricey cab fare and heavy traffic, getting around in New York City can be a frustrating and expensive experience, especially if your destination is JFK.
What is the AirTrain?
The $1.9-billion cost of the project was funded through the Port Authority revenues and a $3 surcharge to passengers departing from NYC.
Travel time is estimated at one hour with the connecting stops to AirTrain. The AirTrain website gives a detailed explanation of which stations to use if you are coming from New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut.
Midtown Manhattan
For the following areas Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, Westchester, New Jersey, Newark Airport, Connecticut, use the Trip Planner from JFK's website to find the quickest route.
Keeping Down the Costs
There is a new Metro Card option just advertised by JFK: get 10 trips on the AirTrain for $25, which means you get each trip for 50% off. Or choose one of two options for unlimited metro cards, both just $40.
All these passes are available at the Howard Beach and Jamaica stations, LIRR and subway stations; various metro card vendors throughout the airport and NYC sell them too. For more information on costs and passes, check the AirTrain website.
Saving Time
The AirTrain service operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The trains run on a schedule from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. (every 2-8 minutes) and 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. (every 6-12 minutes). Train times vary anywhere from 4 to 16 minutes between station and terminal, but within the terminal an estimate of 8 minutes is sufficient to get around all the terminals, parking, hotel, and other stops. For more details about the your particular stop, check out the diagram and itinerary at Getting Around JFK.
Some Things to Consider
While many travlers have found AirTrain to be a huge time and money saver, others find AirTrain annoying and ineffective. Some say there are too many changes between stops to get to the AirTrain.
Some travelers would rather split a taxi to bring the cost down, and some business travelers get reimbursed for their expenses.
If you have one wheeled bag, the Airtrain might be right for you. If you have a lot of luggage, you might save the cost of a taxi, but end up wishing you could throw your luggage on the tracks.
If for whatever reason, the AirTrain isn't the option you want to take you can look into the following alternatives:
So the bottom line here is the next time you need to get to the JFK airport, you have more options than paying $50 for a cab!

Stubborn wants us to write a post about Individualism and Collectivism in MMOs. Truthfully, I don't think I really understand those concepts. But here are some observations.
It seems to me that guilds become more collectivist, or display more of the attributes associated with collectivism, as they get more and more hardcore. Loot Council, higher attendance requirements, higher performance requirements, more shaming for those who don't meet said requirements, more expectations in general.
Guilds at a higher level demand more of their individual members, and thus are more able to act as a single entity. So why would these players chose to subordinate themselves to the group?
I think the key is reciprocity. A player is more willing to sacrifice if she can be assured that everyone else in the group is sacrificing as well. If she is assured that everyone else is as committed to the guild as she is.
As well, this form of collectivism cannot be imposed on people. The right of exit in MMOs is very strong. It's trivial to leave a guild, or even to quit the game entirely. Every collective in an MMO is a collective because the individual members choose to be so.
This is, of course, very different from collectivism in the real world. Very often, the collective is enforced through shame and other rules. And they usually have tons of "free riders" who exploit the collective for their own benefit.
I wonder if that's a way of looking at the extended endgame. Rather than one collective, or a mass of individuals, it's really several smaller collectives, each with slightly different properties.

Collectivism in MMOs

Isn't smaller collectives Individualism (for self and immediate family)?
Which means that WoW could be seen as individualist all the way through.

I don't know. I have a hard time labelling a guild of 35 dedicated raiders as Individualist. Especially when that group displays collectivist characteristics.
I think it's more correct to say that it's a small collective.

I do not understand Stubborn's blogpost. I do not see how you can rate games in such a way.
I find it tough to determine. I guess I would judge the games culture by looking at the quests and lore.
Collectivism and Individualism are different approaches to the same game. They are, in my opinion, heavily influenced by the culture of the people playing it.
There is, for example, a difference between guilds like Stars (with hundreds of players working to/assisting with a common goal) and Ensidia (a more individualistic approach).
Culture can variate WITHIN the game however. I reckon that the culture of groups depends on the culture of the people playing it. I do think that there are enough people to form groups of like minded preferences within regios. This can be enforced by guildrules.
Stubborn does raise an interesting question. Does the participation in types of content differentiate between cultures? I wonder if the participation rate of LFR/LFD is significantly different for different regios.

Most people are logical enough to recognise that they can achieve more personal glory as part of a high-level raid team. You contribute to and comply with the group and the group provides you with rewards.
Twenty-five people working together for the shared goal of personal glory.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To evaluate lung function by measuring blood pH, oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2); to monitor treatment for lung diseases; to detect an acid-base imbalance in your blood, which may indicate a respiratory, metabolic, or kidney disorder; to evaluate the effectiveness of oxygen therapy
When to Get Tested?
When you have symptoms of a respiratory problem such as difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, or rapid breathing; when you are being treated for a lung disease; when an acid-base imbalance is suspected; periodically when you have a condition that causes an acute or chronic oxygen shortage and you are on oxygen therapy; during certain surgeries to monitor your blood's O2 and CO2 levels
Sample Required?
Most often a blood sample collected from an artery, usually the radial artery in your wrist; sometimes a blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm; capillary blood from a heelstick may be used for babies.
Test Preparation Needed?
Typically, none; however, if you are on oxygen therapy, the O2 may either be turned off for 20 to 30 minutes before the collection for a "Room Air" test. If this cannot be tolerated, or if your health practitioner wants to check your oxygen levels with the O2 on, the amount of oxygen being taken will be recorded.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Blood gases are a group of tests that are performed together to measure the pH and the amount of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) present in a sample of blood, usually from an artery, in order to evaluate lung function and help detect an acid-base imbalance that could indicate a respiratory, metabolic or kidney disorder.
A person's body carefully regulates blood pH, maintaining it within a narrow range of 7.35-7.45, not allowing blood to become too acidic (acidosis) nor too alkaline/basic (alkalosis). The body's regulation of acids and bases has two main components. The first component involves both metabolism and the kidneys: the cellular process of converting one substance to another for energy produces large amounts of acid that the kidneys help eliminate. The second component of regulating pH balance involves eliminating carbon dioxide (an acid when dissolved in blood) through the lungs. This respiratory component is also the way that the body supplies oxygen to tissues. The lungs inhale oxygen, which is then dissolved in the blood and carried throughout the body to tissues.
These processes of gas exchange and acid/base balance are also closely associated with the body's electrolyte balance. In a normal state of health, these processes are in a dynamic balance and the blood pH is stable. (For more on this, see Acidosis and Alkalosis).
There is a wide range of acute and chronic conditions that can affect kidney function, acid production, and lung function, and they have the potential to cause a pH, carbon dioxide/oxygen, or electrolyte imbalance. Examples include uncontrolled diabetes, which can lead to ketoacidosis and metabolic acidosis, and severe lung diseases that can affect CO2/O2 gas exchange. Even temporary conditions such as shock, anxiety, pain, prolonged vomiting, and severe diarrhea can sometimes lead to acidosis or alkalosis.
Blood gas analysis give a snapshot of a person's blood pH and O2 and CO2 content. The following components can be determined by blood gas analysis:
- pH. A measure of the balance of acids and bases in the blood. Increased amounts of carbon dioxide and other acids can cause blood pH to decrease (become acidic). Decreased carbon dioxide or increased amounts of bases, like bicarbonate (HCO3-), can cause blood pH to increase (become alkaline).
- Partial pressure of O2 (PaO2). Measures the amount of oxygen gas in the blood.
- Partial pressure of CO2 (PaCO2). Measures the amount of carbon dioxide gas in the blood. As PaCO2 levels rise, blood pH decreases, making the blood more acidic; as PaCO2 decreases, pH rises, making the blood more basic (alkaline).
- O2 saturation (O2Sat or SaO2). The percentage of hemoglobin that is carrying oxygen. Hemoglobin is the protein in red bloods cells that carries oxygen through blood vessels to tissues throughout the body.
- O2 content (O2CT or CaO2). The amount of oxygen per 100 mL of blood.
- Bicarbonate (HCO3-). The main form of CO2 in the body. It can be calculated from the pH and PaCO2. It is a measurement of the metabolic component of the acid-base balance. HCO3- is excreted and reabsorbed by the kidneys in response to pH imbalances and is directly related to the pH level. As the amount of HCO3- rises in the blood, so does the pH (becomes alkaline).
- Base excess/base deficit. A calculated number that represents a sum total of the metabolic buffering agents (anions) in the blood. These anions include hemoglobin, proteins, phosphates, and HCO3- (bicarbonate, which is the dominant anion). Anions are regulated to compensate for imbalances in blood pH. The health practitioner will look at the HCO3- and base excess/deficit results to evaluate the total buffering capacity of the lungs and kidneys when deciding on a treatment to correct an imbalance.
How is the sample collected for testing?
Arterial blood is almost always used for blood gas analysis but, in some cases, as with babies, whole blood from a heelstick is collected instead. Blood may also be taken from the umbilical cord of a newborn. Since arterial blood carries oxygen to the body and venous blood carries waste products to the lungs and kidneys, the gas and pH levels will not be the same in both types of blood samples.
An arterial blood sample is usually collected from the radial artery in the wrist, located on the inside of the wrist, below the thumb, where the pulse can be felt. A circulation test called an Allen test will be done before the collection to make sure that there is adequate circulation in the person's wrist. The test involves compressing both the radial and the ulnar wrist arteries, then releasing each in turn to watch for "flushing," the pinking of the skin as blood returns to the hand. If one hand does not flush, then the other wrist will be tested. Blood can also be collected from the brachial artery in the elbow or the femoral artery in the groin, although these sample locations require special training to properly access.
In newborns that experience difficulty in breathing right after birth, blood may be collected from both the umbilical artery and vein and tested separately.
After an arterial blood draw, pressure must be firmly applied to the site for at least 5 minutes. Since blood pumps through the artery, the puncture will take awhile to stop bleeding. If someone is taking blood thinners or aspirin, it may take as long as 10-15 minutes to stop bleeding. The person collecting the sample will verify that the bleeding has stopped and will put a wrap around the wrist, which should be left in place for about an hour.
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?
Typically, no test preparation is needed. However, if someone is on oxygen therapy, the O2 may either be turned off for 20 to 30 minutes before the collection for a "Room Air" test or, if this cannot be tolerated or if the health practitioner wants to check oxygen levels with the O2 on, the amount of oxygen being taking will be recorded. This is usually expressed as fraction of inspired (inhaled) oxygen in percent (FiO2) or as liters of O2 flowing per minute.

Ram batters walked four times before Austin Coley delivered a big hit in a six-run fourth inning, as
"We've got a couple of hitters who are overly aggressive,"
The Rams, losers of seven of their last eight games, trailed 4-1 in the second inning, thanks in part to two errors and an RBI double from White Oak's Tyler Jobe.
Coley prevented another run when he threw a strike to catcher Chris Toler, who tagged out White Oak's Troy Jurney at the plate, ending the inning.
That set the stage for a
Still down 4-3 in the fourth with two outs, Cooper, Will Blythe, Aron Rossi and Josh Little had consecutive walks, producing the tying run. Cameron Carpenter then reached on an error, producing the go-ahead run.
Coley then smacked a two-run double to left-center, and two more runners crossed the plate when the Vikings couldn't field a ball off the bat of Justice Provencher. Just like that, the Rams scored six runs on just one hit.
"Austin Coley's coming around," Smith said. "He struggled the first third of the season, but he looks real comfortable at the plate right now."
Meanwhile, Little relieved starting pitcher Rossi in the third, giving up just one infield hit in five innings and striking out five to get the victory.
"When Josh Little comes in, his ball just sinks hard at the plate," Smith said. "Those guys just top it out there for those easy ground balls. Sometimes, they end up in no man's land, but Josh has been pitching real well."
Coley led
With the victory, the Rams improve to 8-11 overall and 3-6 in the Coastal 3A Conference with an eye on one of five league playoff spots.
"There's still a lot of baseball left and we're still in it," Smith said. "We have to finish as high as we can finish and hopefully get these guys in the playoffs and have a good playoff run.
"But, we've got a lot way to go. We've got to beat the people we've already beaten and try to find a way to beat those guys we didn't beat the first time around. And, it's good to have four out of the last six at home, too."

Human Lifetime Rewards
Human Lifetime Rewards
Lifetime rewards are permanent superpowers for your Sims, offering all sorts of abilities and bonuses. All lifetime rewards are positive-only; their only cost is lifetime happiness points, which are earned from fulfilling a Sim's wishes.
Lifetime rewards are scaled in cost to their usefulness and impact to your Sim's life, just like the wishes themselves. Still, just because you can buy a given reward doesn't mean you really need to. For example, you shouldn't bother with Super Green Thumb if you have no plans to ever be a gardener.
The list is organized by how it appears in-game, first by cost, then by the name of the reward. Like with Human Traits, some of these are only available if you have certain expansion packs installed, so they may not all be in your game.

The Northside girls' basketball team continues to find ways to win.
Scoring the game's final five points, the second-seeded Monarchs fought off No. 10 seed and East Central Conference rival South Lenoir 48-41 on Wednesday night in the second round of the NCHSAA 2-A playoffs.
This marked the second straight playoff game for Northside (24-4) that came down to the wire. The Monarchs beat No. 15 Edenton Holmes 49-43 on Monday in the opening round.
"Look, it was another close game," Northside first-year coach Chad Novelli said. "The fact of the matter is that they sucked it up."
And eventually won.
Now the Monarchs will play host to No. 11 Graham (18-10) on Friday in the sectional final with the winner advancing to the East Regional semifinals in Fayetteville. Graham, which beat No. 6 East Duplin 56-30 on Monday, defeated No. 3 Whiteville 60-43 on Wednesday.
South Lenoir, which split its regular-season series with Northside, ended 18-7.
"When it gets tough and they start coming back, we have to stay together," said Northside's Journee Collins, who had 10 points and 8 rebounds. "That's what we end up doing every time. It just brings us closer together. We talk it out and keep each other pumped up."
Down 26-25 at halftime, the Monarchs outscored the Blue Devils 13-1 in the third quarter to take a 38-27 lead. A jump shot from Erin Bowerman with 4:33 left in the game gave Northside a 42-32 lead.
However, South Lenoir closed to within 43-41 with 1:15 left when the Heather West stole the ball and scored on a layup. Northside's Kayla Hill made a free throw two seconds later and then followed with another free throw with 57 seconds left to make it 45-41.
After a Northside stop, Lizzie Perez made two free throws with 46 seconds left and then made another one with 12 seconds left for the final margin.
Hill finished with 9 points, Bowerman had 7 points and 6 rebounds for the Monarchs, who were led by Ashanti Curry's 13 points.
Both Collins and Curry have been battling an illness this week.
"It's the playoffs. So it's either win or go home, and we didn't want to go home," Collins said. "We just had to push through it and work hard."
The Monarchs certainly did work in the third quarter to take the lead.
Bowerman tied the game at 26-26 with a free throw 1:30 into the third quarter before Curry gave Northside the lead for good at 28-27 on a layup.
South Lenoir's Marquia Suddeth made a free throw before the Monarchs scored the next 10 points of the quarter.
"It was a one-point game at half, but they came out in the third quarter and just played excellent," Novelli said. "The only thing I had to do (at halftime) was just remind them what was on the line. I don't even have to do that because I have seniors to do that for me. These girls, when something clicks, they take it to the next level."
West ended with 16 points and Demeyia Adams added 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Blue Devils.
"At halftime, he (Novelli) didn't come in and yell at us," Collins said. "He just told us that we had this and that if we didn't want our season to be over, we better get after it."
South Lenoir 11 15 1 14 — 41
Northside 11 14 13 10 — 48
Jones 5, He. West 16, Adams 10, Ha. West 3, Franklin 2, Suddeth 5. Totals— 14-50 8-12 41.
Moore2, Stokes 1, Bowerman 7, Hill 9, Curry 13, Collins 10, Perez 6. Totals— 16-43 15-24 48.
3-Point Goals— S 5 (He. West 3, Jones, Ha. West), N 1 (Hill). Rebounds— S 33 (Adams 11), N 34 (Collins 8, Bowerman 6, Perez 5). RECORDS— S: 18-7, season complete. N: 24-4, hosts Graham on Friday in sectional final.

Comments about Vintage Style Lantern:
Decent lantern. Bought 2 for possible power disruptions. Within a week after getting them, we lost power for a bit. Put one in the living room, and one on the dining room table, lit the area well enough. Bought 2 more for bedroom, and office area. Pretty pleased.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Two of the 16 lanterns I ordered for my wedding (centerpieces) did not work. They still looked great on the tables even when they were not lit up, but I was a little disappointed those two weren't functional.

Best Uses
Comments about Garmin Edge 510 Cycling Computer Bundle:
The Garmin 510 bundle gives me great feedback on training rides but it does have some issues every now and then. My cadence/speed sensor needs some resetting. Occasionally, the heart rate monitor strap can record some funny numbers. For example: I feel maxed out but I'm still at 50bpm.
I almost chose the 500 because it was slightly cheaper and I never cared for a touchscreen. The touchscreen is a pro and a con. I definitely appreciate being able to touch the screen when riding but sometimes it isn't sensitive enough.
When it comes down to it, the Garmin is reliable and it works well most of the time.

KENT, Ohio – In an important matchup against the Mid-American Conference favorite, the Miami University baseball team went toe-to-toe with Kent State for the first seven innings. However, KSU scored twice in the eighth to down MU 4-2 on Friday night.
The loss drops the RedHawks to 13-19 and 4-6 in MAC play. The Golden Flashes are now 21-11 with an 8-2 MAC record.
An RBI double by Jeff Revesz and an RBI triple out of Alex Miklos put the Golden Flashes ahead 2-0 in the bottom of the third. The RedHawks had a tough time with MAC ERA leader Eric Lauer in the first time through the lineup, posting only one hit over the first four innings.
Miami put together a brief scoring threat in the fifth when Max Andresen was hit by a pitch to start the frame. Chad Sedio singled with one out to put the tying run on base, but Lauer induced a double play ball to keep the Golden Flashes on top.
The RedHawks finally got to Lauer in the seventh. Dan Walsh started the inning with a single, with Andresen singling to put the tying run on two batters later. With two away, Sedio worked a walk to load the bases. Adam Yacek's ground ball was misplayed at third base, bringing Walsh home and putting the Red and White on the board. With the inning still going, Steve Sada came through with a clutch RBI single to tie the game at 2-2.
Seth Varner followed that rally up with by pitching a 1-2-3 seventh to get the bats right back to the plate. Walsh walked with one out in the eighth and a groundout moved him into scoring position, but KSU reliever John Fasola induced a fly out to end the threat.
A leadoff single by Jon Wilson ended Varner's night to start the eighth, with Jacob Banks coming out of the pen in relief. However, Miklos' bunt was thrown away and scored Wilson from first while advancing Miklos to third to give the Golden Flashes the lead again. Just Wagler followed up that with an RBI single to make it a 4-2 ballgame entering the ninth. Eric Dorsch closed out the game by retiring the RedHawks in order in the top of the ninth.
Varner (4-2) suffered a hard-luck loss, his first since opening day on Feb. 15. The senior allowed three runs (two earned) on eight hits in seven innings of work. He struck out eight Kent State batters and did not issue a single walk. Walsh (2-for-3 with a walk) reached base three times and recorded two of the RedHawks' five hits.
"It is rough for Seth to be hung with a loss tonight," Miami head coach Danny Hayden said. "He pitched really well and gave us a chance in a close game that we could have won, but unfortunately we fell short tonight."
Miami and Kent State resume their weekend series on Saturday, with Nathan Williams slated to start for the Red and White. First pitch is at 6 p.m.
