Standmixers Are for Sissies
Earlier today during our esteemed editor's food tip portion of the staff meeting (for the uninitiated, there's also an exercise tip and a lifestyle tip), he mentioned the essential efficiencies of having a Kitchen Aid-type standmixer when you're throwing together a batch of cookies. And in today's Post White House executive chef Christa Comerford is quoted as saying such a tool is "a must-have" in renovated kitchens.
I call bullshit.
Somehow, without a standmixer, my mother and her mother and her mother and probably a few fathers and grandfathers managed to make all manner of baked goods. I love to bake and, as such, I have tried out the "must-have" mixer.
First of all, the creaming stage requires you get in there with your spatula at regular intervals to get things consistent. With standmixers, the mixing agent, as its name implies, just stands there, requiring even more spatula work. With a handmixer, mixing butter and sugar is like a dance. One hand swirls the beaters into the ingredients, the other pushes ingredients into the swirl. It's quick and efficient. You don't have to stop the thing, raise the thing, scape down the sides, put the thing back down, turn it on again. Repeat.
Second of all, dumping in the dry ingredients is a complete fucking mess with a standmixer. Dump in too much, and you're standing in a flour fog. And even if you take it slow and incremental, as you should, you'll still end up with a bunch of flour on the counter. The mixer takes up most of the bowl, leaving little room to tip out the last bits of flour and friends.
And lastly, incorporating dry ingredients with wet ingredients, especially for cookies, is something that should be done by hand. Show a little fortitude and get in there with a wooden spoon or spatula. Or, go Nigella on that naughty, naughty dough and spank it around with your hands. Your cookie will have a better crumb and you won't overmix. And best of all, you'll be a baker, not a stupid advertisement for a piece of kitchen equipment you need like you need a cherry pitter or a garlic press or an egg slicer or a lid opener or a silicone potholder or....
Bring it.

At 50, landmark libel case relevant in digital age
WASHINGTON (AP) — Singer Courtney Love hadn't been born and tweeting was reserved for birds when The New York Times won a landmark libel case at the Supreme Court in 1964.
But when a California jury decided recently that Love shouldn't have to pay $8 million over a troublesome tweet about her former lawyer, she became just the latest person to lean on New York Times v. Sullivan, a case decided 50 years ago Sunday, and the cases that followed and expanded it.
The Sullivan case, as it is known among lawyers, stemmed from Alabama officials' efforts to hamper the newspaper's coverage of civil rights protests in the South. The decision made it hard for public officials to win lawsuits and hefty money awards over published false statements that damaged their reputations.
In the decades since, the justices have extended the decision, making it tough for celebrities, politicians and other public figures to win libel suits.
Newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations were the primary means of publishing when the Sullivan case was decided. Today, the case applies equally to new media such as Twitter, Facebook and blogs. Because of the ease of publishing online, more people may claim the protections granted by the decision and others that followed.
"It seems reasonably clear that the protections afforded by Sullivan and the cases that came after it apply to both media and non-media speakers," said Lee Levine, a First Amendment lawyer who co-wrote a recent book on the case.
"Technology has afforded everyone — and not just people who can afford to buy a printing press or own a broadcast station — the ability to disseminate information to the world. That has increased the opportunities for those people to publish defamatory statements to a very broad audience," Levine said.
Levine said it's unclear whether that opportunity will lead to more libel suits, cases brought over the publication of false information that injures someone's reputation. More ways to communicate could mean more suits, or there could be fewer because people may discount what they read online, and it may not be worth suing individuals who don't have corporations' wealth.
Or there may be other explanations.
"Today one of the reasons I think we don't have as many libel cases is not just because the Sullivan rule is so widely accepted by everyone, but in a digital world there's so much greater opportunity for response," said Bruce W. Sanford, a Washington-based First Amendment lawyer.
If one person says something untrue online, the person being spoken about has many more avenues to reply, agreed David Ardia, a University of North Carolina law professor and the co-director of the school's Center for Media Law and Policy. In the 1960s, the only way to respond to libel and "reach an audience was to get into the same newspaper, and that's no longer the case," he said, adding that the "megaphone" of the Internet is available to everyone.
The Internet was a long way off when the Sullivan case began in 1960. It started when the Times published a civil rights group's full-page ad, with the title "Heed Their Rising Voices," that described the brutal treatment of civil rights demonstrators in the South.

Special Teams
Two things hurt us most last year: injuries and special teams.
Assuming we finally have a year where we dont find our skate blades sliding into ruts, someone escorting MONO into the dressing room, or our best young stars twisting their legs in fights, I think it's imperative that we improve our PP and PK immediately.
When ST fleeced Lombardi (and rubbed Fraser into the wound) we instantly made our power play better. Smytty will not only help us score more on the man-advantage, he will help teach our younger guys how to get it done in front of the net like very few can in hte NHL. I think Teemu-H will benefit the most from this when he gets his shot later on in the season.
In addition, I think Smytty could help our PK in a way we won't get to see for ourselves but rather in practices. With Smytty in front of DD and NK during practice sessions it will force some of our softer D penalty killers to learn how to box out the front of the net and let the goalie see the shots.
In the last two seasons we've lost Souray and Foster on the point. Who, if anyone, is our new go to guy in this regard? I saw Gilbert give an interview where he explicitly said he spent the summer working on his shot. That is good news but he's clearly not our guy.
Perhaps not having someone to focus on setting up is just what the doctor ordered since our PP has often been very 1-dimensional and predictable in this regard.
Of our new additions, who is the best penalty killer? How does Belanger stack up? If he can win his share of the draws it will improve our pk% but can he also be useful on the powerplay or are we stuck with horcoff taking the offensive zone PP draws?
We were 27th in PP% last year at an abysmal 14.5%
We were 29th in PK% last year with a terrible 76.9%
Considering how many tight games we lost last year it is actually quite conceivable that, if something finally clicks and coaching adjusts accordingly, we could have a pretty good year.
Optimistically, if we can improve our league ranking in both of these categories we will begin to win these 1 goal games that have cost us so dearly in years past.
I HOPE it improves. It was so stationary last year. Not really any movement to it at all to confuse the other team.
I think we have the talent offensively to put up way more than the 44 PP goals we scored last year. We need to look at what the sharks, wings, canucks did and emulate it.
At the moment it is the PK that scares me more.
Our pp made other teams wonder what we were doing, and not it the good way.
Kinda like when you see a guy digging in the garbage can. Chances are you are curious what he is trying to accomplish, but in all likelyhood not something you are going to copy yourself
Lander will do wonders for the PK when he makes the jump.
If the PK and PP do not improve to at least in the low 20's this year it's time to dump a couple of our coaches. The excuse of young players doesn't wash because our young offensive guys are skilled and we had more vet type players on the pk.
I think having Belanger to win us more possessions on the PK will help tremendously

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Own for any Serious Soundtrack Collector,
Pantheon (Boston, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Smallville / O.S.T. (Ltd) (Audio CD)
143 minutes of absolute joy. This is an amazing soundtrack and spans the entire 10-year run of Smallville. Obviously, 2 CDs is not enough to give an in depth exploration of the score for this show; but what it does do is give more than enough examples of why this score was highly anticipated.
There are many memorable moments from the show included here - and made even more so by a comprehensive booklet that details how the music was written and gives information about each music cue and the episode it's from.
Originally, Disc 1 was an iTunes-only release. A release which proved to be incredibly popular. La-La-Land records then got hold of the rights and added a second disc - making THIS release the definitive Smallville soundtrack to date. Maybe one day they'll release a 'Season 1 Soundtrack Collection' containing multiple discs. Until then (if ever) this CD set is an amazing find.
As a Limited Edition of only 3000 in the world this is a must-own for any soundtrack collector.
I'm saddened to see that Amazon have sold out now. I bought mine last week for the amazing price of �17.77!!! A total bargain. If you're interested in this score I'd suggested going onto Amazon.com and seeing if they have it in stock rather than pay the sellers prices.
5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best soundtrack i've ever bought.,

Great product loved the show have all the seasons on dvd and decided i wanted the music too and this was the right one to buy well worth the money. And i like that there was only a certain number maid which adds a nice collectability to it.

This is a useful guide to the nurse who wishes to acquaint herself more fully with conditions involving the eye, ear, nose and throat. The volume does not pretend to be a pretentious treatise nor does it aim to teach nurses things that do not concern them. Such things as bandaging, solutions in common use, methods and mediums for irrigation, and a modest amount of anatomy are well handled. There is in addition a whole series of well done pictures of the instruments in most common use for the more frequently performed operations which should be helpful for the nurse intending to devote herself to this specialty, in either the operating theater or the sickroom.

Originally written on On the Duck Pond | Last updated 2/1/13
The Ducks have had a relatively relaxed start to their hockey season, getting a couple days off here, a couple days off there. Welcome to February! Time to buckle down and start knocking out some games. The Ducks played against the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night and had a couple days break in between, including the annual Fan Fest for their season ticket holders on Wednesday night. Party is over. Anaheim has three games at home before heading on the road for three more. All six will be played in nine days. The Ducks start off with the Minnesota Wild, followed by their first against the Kings on Saturday. San Jose comes down for a visit on Monday. There won't be time to breathe, because after the Sharks leave, the Ducks go on the road to play Colorado on Wednesday and another set of back to backs against Dallas and St. Louis next weekend. Makes me tired just thinking about it! Because of the compressed schedule, coach Bruce Boudreau is going to have to make use of both his goaltenders. Viktor Fasth looks to get the nod against the Wild, which means Jonas Hiller will likely see the Kings tomorrow night. If Fasth plays as well as he did in his debut, the Ducks will be in good shape. It also appears that defenseman Sami Vatanen will get his first NHL look against the Wild. Toni Lydman might get the scratch, unless Boudreau chooses to dress seven d-men and short himself a forward. Vatanen has been paired in practices with Luca Sbisa. Game time is 7:00pm and tickets are still available for this evening's tilt.

Comments about 'Civil rights lawyers: NYPD spying violates rules'
- Oldest first
- Newest first
- Most recommended
The simple truth is that Muslim extremists have been behind some of the worst
terrorist attacks this nation has ever suffered i.e, 9-11, etc.. On top of that,
many Muslim extremist leaders have publicly avowed to destroy America as the
"great satan" in any possible. This in itself should be reason enough to
keep extra vigilance on that particular group of people... citizens or not.
Also, it's the police departments job to keep it's people and America safe. If these Muslim groups are doing nothing wrong or threatening, then they have no reason to fear and no harm is done to them and no further action takes place. I've yet to read or hear of any harm being done to any innocent Muslims from this particular surveillance policy. This is more likely just a small group of activist lawyers looking to get some free publicity. They should ask themselves why this extra surveillance started in the first place. There was and continues to be some very good reasons. When those reasons all go away, I'm confident the surveillance will too.

So then by your reasoning lets just through out that whole menacing constitution and its silly little rights? after all if we have nothing to hide then why bother with having rights?

@ Tolstoy.
Read the first part of my original message again. Maybe, just maybe you'll get it this time, if you're able to transcend your preconceived judgments of other people's viewpoints. There is a very real and legitimate reason, based on recent facts and history, for keeping some vigilance on this particular group, extremist Muslims... and wherever they may be coming from and whatever they might be planning. That's also the reason our government sanctions specific tapping of communications between certain suspect individuals and groups. Those reasons do exist, whether you or others will admit it or not. And when those reasons are legitimate, as obviously the governor of New York and the NYPD feel they are, then the Constitution is not being scrapped. We are just being protected. Try a little harder to follow the reasoning this time, Tolstoy. It's there.

European Union governments have scrapped plans for finance ministers to thrash out an accord next week on tougher rules for credit ratings companies.
James R. Doty , the new head of the board that oversees auditors of U.S.-registered companies, said he expects the panel to ramp up the scale and number of its enforcement actions.
The Big Four accounting firm Deloitte & Touche LLP took a beating in the news media last week after its regulator unsealed a confidential portion of an inspection report about its audit work. Articles focused on the parade of horribles found with Deloitte's quality controls.
The U.S. regulator of auditors would take its disciplinary process public under a bill introduced in the Senate today.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is evaluating two former agency officials to fill the year-old vacancy at the top of the board that oversees auditors of public companies.

Get your home ready for Valentine's Day both indoors and out with this Heart Flower Pot Hanger from Bernadette Fox. All you need is a plastic container and a heat tool or blow dryer for this project! I found that a little heat can melt thin plastic just enough to shape it into all sorts of shapes, including hearts. For Valentine's why not make a bunch of heart flower pot holders to hang in your window or to wake up your slumbering garden?
- Plastic container (I used an ice cream container)
- Good pair of scissors to cut through the plastic
- A heat tool or blow dryer to melt and shape the plastic into a heart
- Drill

Making a connecting flightOct 7, 20143Hi, I'm flying from South Africa to JFK on the 11th dec with Eithad airways and land at 8:25am. I have a connecting flight with us airways to Miami at 10:55am. Is 2 hours and 50mins enough time? Given that I will also need to recheck my bag.KtbSun, Oct 5Your transfer time will suffice! I suggest, however, that I suggest you open www.ifly.com/jfk, then click on 'Terminal Map' under 'QUICK LINKS', and scroll down to the detailed text - paying attention to 'International Arrivals' and transfers.suoct14Sun, Oct 5Okay thank you! I see I will arrive in terminal 4 and will need to make my way to terminal 8. How long does it take to get to terminal 8 from 4? Is it also quite easy to navigate myself? It's my first time in this airport!KtbMon, Oct 6

Depart Terminal5Oct 5, 20141flying Jet Blue must claim bags and recheck El Al best way to get from terminal4 to Terminal5 with elderly mother in wheelchair and how much connection time should we alotflbeachgalSat, Oct 4Wheelchairs are supplied by the airlines - you need to contact them at least 48 hrs prior to arrival and point out that you need to get to Terminal 4, where you need to check-in bags with El Al before proceeding to your connecting gate. Jet Blue uses T5; El Al uses T4. The 'Airplane Terminal Train' (the station is at left end of T5's Arrivals/baggage level) runs counter-clockwise between all terminals - you have only one stop to T4. I do not know if the train is wheelchair-accessible. I strongly suggest that you call JFK's Travelers Aid at 718-656-4879 to give you proper advice.suoct14Sun, Oct 5
Enough time?Oct 4, 20142I was wondering if anyone knew if this could work, I'm looking at flying into JFK Terminal 1 on Cayman Airways from Grand Cayman, flight lands at 9pm, want to catch a 10:30pm flight to Stockholm, Sweden on Norwegian Air from the same Terminal number 1, I am Canadian and I wont have any checked baggage, do I have to go through security again if both flights are at Terminal 1? Thanks in advance for your help!AHFri, Oct 3Upon arrival you will have to go through US Immigration and US Customs, you will then be outside the secure area. If you are able to check in to your Norwegian flight online then you can proceed direct to security. If your flight is on-time and you can check-in online then it's possible but if there are any delays (and Cayman Airways flights are often delayed) you will be stuck in NYC and Norwegian will not be accommodating in rebooking you.ZAPSat, Oct 4
do i have sufficient timeOct 3, 20143I plan to fly emirates which should arrive into JFK at 8:15 am, and i intend to book an internal flight on Delta to FLL which departs at 11:15 am. Will i have enough time to clear customs and re-check in, to catch the Delta flight ?AWDFri, Oct 3Yes, that should be enough time. However, be aware that if you book separate tickets you will have to take your bags to the Delta check-in counter to re-check them and pay a checked bag fee.ZAPFri, Oct 3Thanks.. any idea of the terminals i will be arriving to and departing from ?

Time for a international connection flightOct 3, 20141Hi, I arrival from Miami to JFK terminal 8 and I have 1 hour and 40 minutes time to catch my connection flight to Finland. The gate is closed 30 min before departure. Can I go directly from arrivals to the departures and is this time ( 1 h 30 min) enough to catch the connection flight?JusoFri, Oct 3
1h40 min enough time to connect?Oct 2, 20141Hi! How long is needed to connect between a Delta flight from CDG to a Delta flight to SJU at JFK? They both seem to arrive and depart from Terminal 4. Does a European traveller need to clear customs during the connecting time at JFK or upon arrival in SJU?BezThu, Oct 2Yes, when you arrive you will go through US Immigration, collect your baggage, go through US Customs, and re-check your baggage with Delta, then go to the departure level and go through security. Minimum time is 90 minutes but 2 hours would be better. For travel purposes Puerto Rico is considered part of the United States. There is no passport control or customs on flights between Puerto Rico and the continental US.ZAPThu, Oct 2

Basal TSH levels reflect the metabolic status of thyroid function, however the definition and interpretation of the basal levels of TSH is a matter of controversial debate. The aim of this study was to evaluate basal TSH levels in relation to the physiological response to i.v. TRH stimulation.
A series of 2570 women attending a specialized endocrine unit were evaluated. A standardized i.v. TRH stimulation test was carried out by applying 200 μg of TRH. TSH levels were measured both in the basal and the 30 minute blood sample. The normal response to TRH stimulation had been previously determined to be an absolute value lying between 2.5 and 20 mIU/l. Both TSH values were analyzed by cross tabulation. In addition the results were compared to reference values taken from the literature.
Basal TSH values were within the normal range (0.3 to 3.5 mIU/l) in 91,5% of cases, diminished in 3,8% and elevated in 4.7%. Based on the response to TRH, 82.4% were considered euthyroid, 3.3% were latent hyperthyroid, and 14.3% were latent hypothyroid. Combining the data on basal and stimulated TSH levels, latent hypothyroidism was found in the following proportions for different TSH levels: 5.4% for TSH < 2.0 mIU/l, 30.2% for TSH between 2.0 and 3.0 mIU/l, 65,5% for TSH between 3.0 and 3.50 mIU/l, 87.5% for TSH between 3.5 and 4.0 mIU/l, and 88.2% for TSH between 4 and 5 mIU/l. The use of an upper normal range for TSH of 2.5 mIU/l, as recommended in the literature, misclassified 7.7% of euthyroid cases.
Our analysis strategy allows us to delineate the predictive value of basal TSH levels in relation to latent hypothyroidism. A grey area can be identified for values between 3.0 and 3.5 mIU/l.
Elevated levels of TSH are the hallmark of decreased thyroid function. In order to correctly identify these patients it is imperative to have a clear definition of the upper reference range for basal TSH. Patients whose TSH lies in the upper reference range might appear to have minimal thyroid deficiency. Although this might appear to be an easy task, the definition of the upper reference range for TSH has been matter of controversial debate [1-5]. Reported reference values for the upper range of basal TSH vary between 2.12 and 5.95 mIU/l [6-21] (Table 1). In the majority of studies, the reference range for TSH has been defined by statistical analysis (95% confidence interval) of log transformed data. An alternative approach is to rely on the physiological response of TSH to TRH stimulation [22] taking the absolute TSH values 30 minutes after TRH stimulation as the classification criteria [17,23,24].
Table 1. Comparison of TSH reference levels from the literature
Within the setting of a fertility unit, the exclusion or identification of causes of infertility requires a broad diagnostic approach. In a recent review by Poppe, Velkeniers, and Glinoer, special emphasis was put on the evaluation of thyroid function [25]. Referring to thyroid function tests, the authors commented the apparent discrepancy between basal and TRH-stimulated TSH levels used to detect subclinical hypothyroidism (Table 1 in [25]). The aim of this retrospective study was to describe in more detail the relation of basal TSH levels to the TRH-stimulated levels and their validity for the detection of latent hypothyroidism. Data analysis was also carried out in comparison with criteria reported in the literature.
The laboratory methods used have been described elsewhere [17]. A total of 2570 women attending the out-patient unit for Reproductive Endocrinology at the University of Innsbruck were studied (mean age 31 years, min. 21 years, max. 69 years). All patients were ambulatory and did not present any severe disease nor were taking any medication that could interfere with thyroid function tests. Ninety percent of patients were consulting the service due to irregularities of the menstrual cycle, or infertility. Ten percent of cases corresponded to menopausal women. Patients with known thyroid disease were excluded. Informed consent was obtained according to the Declaration of Helsinki. The study was approved by the institutional Ethics Committee. The TRH test was carried out by i.v. application of 200 μg of TRH. Both a basal and a 30 minute blood sample were obtained. In the first sample, both thyroid hormones (fT3 and fT4) and TSH were determined; in the second one only TSH was measured. Antibody levels were not determined. The reference values for basal TSH had been previously evaluated based on ROC analysis and lied between 0.3 to 3.5 mIU/l [17]. These reference values will be called I-TSH in further comparisons. An absolute TSH increase between 2.5 and 20 mIU/l following TRH stimulation was defined as normal [17]. The definition of these levels comes from a detailed internal evaluation of both clinical and laboratory data of 2870 patients being investigated at the out-patient unit of the Department of Nuclear Medicine, University of Innsbruck in 1993. The data from these patients was analyzed in relation to age, gender, iodine excretion, scintigraphy, sonography, and thyroid function tests (data not shown). These criteria were also used in a later analysis of 12.838 subjects done 2003 [17]. Altogether a total of 15708 subjects provide the foundation for the present analysis.
The reference ranges from the literature were taken from Zöphel [19] and Baloch [26]. These will be referred to as Z-TSH and B-TSH. A normal measured Z-TSH lies between 0.3 to 3.35 mIU/l, while a normal B-TSH has been proposed to be between 0.4 to 2.5 mIU/l.
Data Analysis
The laboratory results were classified according to the criteria presented by Dayan [27]. Statistical analysis (one way ANOVA) was done with SPSS version 12. A p-value less than 0.01 was called significant.
Analysis of fT3 and fT4 and of basal TSH levels
Stratification of data according to age groups did not reveal any age-dependency of thyroid function parameters (fT3, fT4, or TSH; one way ANOVA, data not shown). The classification of cases according to the levels of the free thyroid hormone showed 86,65% of cases to lie within the normal range, 2.3% lied above and 11.05% below. The proportion of patients having a normal basal TSH according to the 3 evaluation criteria was: 91.52% for I-TSH, 90.66 for Z-TSH and 83.77 for B-TSH, respectively. The lower number of euthyroid cases using the B-TSH criteria was accompanied by a 7.76% increase in the proportion of cases classified as having elevated TSH levels (Table 2).
Table 2. Categorized results according to 4 classification criteria for normal: 1) basal TSH according to Innsbruck criteria (I-TSH), 2) TRH stimulated TSH levels (s-TSH), 3) basal TSH according to Zöphel (Z-TSH), 4) basal TSH according to Baloch (B-TSH). The figures in the table correspond to the percentage of cases from the total that fall within a specific category.
A cross tabulation analysis of both free thyroid hormones and basal TSH (Table 3) showed that the normal ranges for the I-TSH and Z-TSH criteria corresponded to 80 and 79,34% of the subjects who also had normal thyroid hormone (TH) levels. In contrast to this, the proposed B-TSH criteria recognized only 73,46% of cases with normal TH levels as having a normal TSH. Again, the proposed B-TSH criteria classified twice as many patients as the I-TSH and Z-TSH criteria as hypothyroid/latent hypothyroid.
Table 3. Cross tabulation for the categorized results according to free thyroid hormones and the TSH criteria. The figures in the table correspond to the percentage of cases from the total that fall within a specific category
Analysis of the stimulated TSH levels
When the normal TSH response to TRH was compared to basal TSH levels, 80.81% of cases were called normal according to I-TSH, 80.54% for Z-TSH and 76.79% for B-TSH. Comparing both TSH results, i.e. basal and stimulated, an increasingly significant number of latent hypothyroid patients could be found when basal TSH was between 3 and 4. Latent hypothyroidism, defined as an elevated TSH after TRH, was found in the following proportions for different TSH levels: 5.4% for TSH < 2.0 mIU/l, 30.2% for TSH between 2.0 and 3.0 mIU/l, 65,5% for TSH between 3.0 and 3.50 mIU/l, 87.5% for TSH between 3.5 and 4.0 mIU/l, and 88.2% for TSH between 4 and 5 mIU/l (Figure 1).
Figure 1. The diagram shows the response of TSH to TRH stimulation. The x-axis shows increasing TSH levels. The Y-axis shows that proportion of patients having a suppressed TSH response (blue), a normal response (green) or an exagerated response (red), i.e. latent hypothyroidism.
The environment of this study reflects a common situation encountered in modern medicine, i.e. a reference laboratory will only have a blood sample for the biochemical evaluation of the patient. For this reason, the clinical validity of any test has to be evaluated in relation to the physiology of the system being investigated. In the case of thyroid physiology, the TRH test provides a physiological insight of the metabolic state [22]. For this reason we used the information provided by the TRH stimulation test for the evaluation of basal TSH levels in relation to the identification of latent and/or overt hypothyroidism. The normal range for TSH after TRH stimulation allowed us a similar categorical classification of patients as done with the values of free TH, thus underscoring the physiological meaning of the TRH test. On the other hand, due to the use of sensitive TSH assays, the identification of hyperthyroidism does not represent a problem, although in some cases the determination of TSH alone can be deceiving [27].
Recently, the proposition put forth by Baloch et al. [26] to define the reference levels of TSH based on a preselected (biased ?) population of healthy subjects has been investigated by Zöphel et al. [19]. In spite of adhering to Baloch's theoretical postulate, they were not able to find a difference in the reference levels for TSH using a pre-selected or an unselected population [19]. Their result shows, that pre-selection of normals based on thyroid antibody titers and other parameters is not a requisite for the definition of TSH levels. These conclusions apply to our study. Interestingly the normal range defined by Zöphel shows a good correlation with our results, those of Baloch do not.
Several lines of evidence have appeared recently relating altered body function in the presence of sub clinical hypothyroidism making it relevant to be able to identify such patients [28-32]. Since our study was purely diagnostic, we can not compare our results to approaches that try to analyze the cost-effectiveness of treating latent hypothyroidism. On the other hand, the original setting of this evaluation was predominantly related to problems related to fertility, i.e. the field of reproductive endocrinology. Using a similar approach as ours, Raber et al. have been able to show that infertility can be positively influenced by thyroid hormone supplementation when latent hypothyroidism is present [24]. Poppe et al. have recently reviewed the relation between thyroid disease and reproductive function in females. They have pointed out that several strategies are used for the definition of the upper level for TSH in order to detect subclinical hypothyroidism [25]. In their analysis, they suggest that data taken from TRH-stimulation tests appear to be more sensitive than other methods for defining normal TSH levels [25]. This situation is of outmost importance for pregnancy outcome [33]. The use of risk population definitions based on the presence of thyroid antibodies will miss a significant number of women presenting overt/subclinical hypothyroidism during early pregnancy [34]. Positive thyroid antibodies in pregnant women might be a reflection of a Se deficiency state which requires supplementation in order to prevent thyroid disease [35]. In our experience Se supplementation can also be beneficial in cases of incipient thyroid disease [36] leading to a normalization of both thyroid function parameters as well as of thyroid function.
Our data analysis strategy supports a normal reference range for TSH of 0.3 to 3.5 mIU/l. Either a clinical and laboratory control or a TRH test can be recommended for patients with basal TSH values lying between 3.0 and 3.5 mIU/l in order to rule out latent hypothyroidism.
