|For the last last three years, some of my friends and I have been to the southern central part of Sweden in the Malung-area. Each year we caught a few grayling, but they were quite small, about 20-30 centimeters. We blamed the high temperature, the high water, the low water, the flies everything... and at last, ourselves, but this year everything seemed to come together, at least in one of the waters.

|Cod and similar species are a much underrated quarry for the fly fisherman. In places where it's very common like Denmark and Norway, they are even sometimes considered an annoying disturbance in the much 'finer' fishing for sea trout.
But cod can be an excellent game for the fisher whose gear and mind is tuned in on it, and the abundance and size of fish can easily justify a more focused fishing for cod.

|Most of my flies are relatively simple patterns. The danish salt water fly-fishing demands flies in a lot of categories.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

This is nice in mint. Its clear, feels cushy on, and the scent is lovely. Its moisturizing and the packaging is cute. I bought this for my 10 yr old niece who also has very dry lips. She loves this, the packaging, scent, and I like that she using something with an spf even at her age. Any girl would like these I'm sure

I have the pink one in fruit punch. This is my HG lip balm. Let me tell u why. First off it moisturizes my lips nicely. It gives my lips a pretty pink color, almost a hot pink which is very flattering for my nc 20 skin color. Did i mention it smells very nice just like fruit punch. Go and get this if u love pink lips and this wont dry out ur lips or make them peel. It's my hg lip balm. I been using this for over a month now. The price is unbelievable- I brought this without a sale for only $3.

I like this a lot, its packaging is very cute. I have been using this for about 3 weeks now, I have the red coloured one. My only problem with it is that I just peeled an awfully large piece of skin off of my lips. I don't think that's supposed to happen.

Revised Review:
I'm in love. I first bought this product in "peppermint" which is the clear colour. No, the product does not moisturize for 8 hours, nor does it makes your lips softer in 4 weeks. However, I'm still addicted. Peppermint I purchased for $3.83 (CAN) at Walmart. Today I picked up "Pink Punch," "Peach Kiss" and, "Cherry Me." I'm medium skin tone and I like the "Pink Punch" the best. The pink is very sheer and just lightly colours your lips, perfect for a natural lip - which is good for me because I do big eyes all the time - so natural lip is needed! The "Cherry me" is not bad, I really like it. It does not come on red, which was a bit of a let down. The peach kiss does not even show on my lips. Looks just like the clear "Peppermint." I bought all three colours today at Loblaws for $4.99 (CAN) each. I know it's more expensive, but I have not seen the colour options anywhere!
Overall, I recommend it for the sheer fact that it has SPF 20 in it - that you need all the time! My lips are dark and it's from the sun. So please use SPF on your lips so they don't get dark like mine!
Old Review:
I was in Sephora today, looking for a lip treatment because my lips are peeling. I've been using glycolic acid on them, trying to get rid of darkness, but that's a whole other story.
Long story short, I looked at two products there that are lip treatment, both without SPF for over $40 CAN.
Then I went to walmart and saw this product for $2.83 CAN, no tint and SPF 20.
I love it. It smells like peppermint, moisturizes (not for 8 hours through, that's a huge lie) and has SPF, which is what I need.
Overall, it is incredible for the price, comparable with the $40 lip treatments.

I tried this in the Peach. It felt nice but there was no color to it whatsoever. It didn't last an hour, let alone the 8 hours the packaging promised. It could be addicting as you need to reapply it constantly--maybe that's the point so you'll buy more. In any event, I would not repurchase.

I had recently bought one these lip balms. I chose Pink Punch because well, I'm a teenage girl and we girls get easily drawn to anything pink. I thought the packaging was like every other packaging. It does remind me of nivea balms. I had put it on and when I had, the smell was pretty but not as pretty as other lip balms I've tried. I also like how it's tinted with a sheer pigment of hot pink In which you could apply more than once to ACTUALLY make it hot pink. Having tan skin, I can't really work the hot pink look, but this is a beautiful sheer color. I also can't help but to touch my lips after applying it because it's soo smooth and it makes my lips look plump but with out the glossy look which I love. I like the matte look on lips. Anyways, this was worth spending my money on. I would buy it again but maybe not as much as my go to balm, blistex.

I bought this in Grape Vine. Was a little apprehensive to try the balm was stark purple, but going on it produces a glossy sorry of sheen dark pinkish color to my lips. It's great in that it moisturizes and gives color that doesn't need a mirror to be applicated. There are cons to this, however, are that it won't really help MUCH if you put it on lips that have a to of dry sin on top of them. It will just sit there, you'll have to exfoliate your lips as it doesn't penetrate very well. Another con is that you will need to reapplicate it, it won't stay on forever, but because you don't need a mirror to put it on, as it will leave mere traces of color on skin (not lips), and is easily wiped off it's no biggie.
UPDATE: What can I say, I just love updating. So I had originally given this 4 lippies but upon reconsideration (as well as redigging this out from the bottom of the chasm also known as my lip balm bag), I did notice that this moisturizes for only about two hours then it is completely NECESSARY to reapply. This is so tiresome! I would recommend Palmer's coco butter swivel stick!

So far I love this! I have mine in Peppermint which has no tint to it for 2 dollars at Walmart. I thought the packaging was cute so that is what mainly drew me to it that and the spf 20. Its lightweight and non greasy and the smell isn't over powering. It doesn't beat my lizard lips one but overall I like it. It is decent I would buy it again.

Bought this product (anti-oxidant berry) with high hopes as I've heard many rave reviews but this lip balm did absolutely nothing for me lips at all. I have to reapply every 30-45mins and when I had dry and chapped lips, it did absolutely nothing with religious application.

Ryan Opera Center alumna Maureen Zoltek had the honor of being the Ryan Opera Center's new pianist for the past two seasons. Read on to learn more about Maureen's life as a pianist, what it's like to perform for Supreme Court Justices, and her adorable dog Henry!
Pianist and recent Ryan Opera Center alumna Maureen Zoltek had the honor of being the Ryan Opera Center's new pianist for the past two years. In addition to receiving high-level instruction and experience in coaching singers—including study of repertoire and languages—she performed regularly with her Ensemble colleagues and served on the Lyric music staff for La Clemenza di Tito in the 2013/14 season and Tosca in the 2014/15 season.
Some of her performance highlights included solo turns at the annual Rising Stars in Concert, several appearances as part of the WFMT Recital Broadcast Series, and accompanying Ryan Opera Center tenor Jonathan Johnson as part of Renée Fleming's conversation with Mark Strand at the Poetry Foundation.
Right now, you can find her in St. Louis for Opera Theatre of Saint Louis's spring/summer festival, and then she moves on to San Francisco Opera. Read on to learn more about Maureen's life as a pianist, what it's like to perform for Supreme Court Justices, and her adorable dog Henry! (To learn more about the role of a rehearsal pianist, read this interview with pianist Matthew Piatt.)
Name: Maureen ZoltekAge: 32Year in ROC: Alumna, graduated with the 2014-15 ensembleHometown: Bloomingdale, IllinoisDream Job: Music staff for Lyric Opera of Chicago, of course!
When did you start playing piano, and when did you know you wanted to be a professional pianist?
I started playing when I was 5. We had a lovely grand piano in our home, and I simply asked my parents if I could take lessons! I don't think there was any specific moment when I knew I wanted to be a pianist professionally. I had always loved performing, and I think it just seemed like the logical conclusion after years of study. After I successfully auditioned for DePaul to continue working with my teacher, Mary Sauer, it was just a transition from studying privately to studying for actual grades.
Did you ever consider a career other than playing piano? And if you had to imagine an alternative career now, what would it be?
I considered a number of different career options over the years, from marine biology and paleontology when I was a kid to a British literature or history professor when I was a teen. But at the end of the day, I knew that a life in music would keep me happy, intrigued, and challenged for the rest of my life. I think that became clearer the longer I studied at college, and the deeper I understood and explored music history, theory, and performance. Although my undergraduate and graduate degrees are in solo piano, I started listening to and loving opera from a fairly young age—which is perhaps a bit surprising, considering no one in my immediate family ever listened to it!—and I was always very actively involved as a collaborative pianist throughout the years (vocal, instrumental, and orchestral). I realized around my mid-twenties that this collaborative world was where I was most happy, and at this point I couldn't imagine an alternative career...concertizing with singers and being in the opera world are far too much fun!
What was the most memorable performance you've given at this point in your career?
There have been many memorable performances for me over the years, but perhaps the most recent one would be performing for the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. this past November with Eric Owens and Alyson Cambridge. Not only was it a fantastic musical collaboration with two people I had not had the pleasure of working with before, but also a thrill to know who was in the audience! I was able meet with and speak to a number of the Justices afterwards, received a tour of the courthouse, and dined in the private dining room with Justice Ginsburg herself. It was truly a day to remember.
After the Ryan Opera Center, how do you want to continue your career?
After the Ryan Center I'll have the pleasure of joining Opera Theatre of Saint Louis for their spring/summer music festival, and then will return to San Francisco Opera for their fall season. I also hope to continue working here at my hometown company, Lyric Opera of Chicago, and collaborating and concertizing with the fantastic singers I've met and worked with in the Ryan Opera Center.
Tell us about your dog Henry!
When I moved back to Chicago from NYC for the Ryan Opera Center job, I had been without a dog for about 3 years. I had been a proud standard poodle owner for 15 years prior to getting my doctorate, and had every intention of getting another one once things had settled down in Chicago...instead I ended up with Henry right away. Best "oops" ever. After contacting a breeder about a springtime 2014 litter, she mentioned that one of her breeder friends right then had a "canceled order" puppy still waiting for a home, the last of the litter. I wasn't really ready yet but thought I would at least go and see what this little guy was all about...and promptly came home with him. There was no resisting the red puff. Henry is the silliest, bounciest, cuddliest, most intelligent and incredible dog, and brings a smile to everyone's face (especially mine). Even non-dog people find they can't resist his permanently happy attitude, and I'm fairly certain that everyone in the West Loop neighborhood now recognizes him. People come up to me all the time asking what kind of a dog he is and complimenting him on his adorable looks; I am without a doubt the proudest dog "mom" and not ashamed to admit it!

Baritone and recent Ryan Opera Center alumnus Will Liverman is off to a stellar start in his career. This Juilliard grad just released his first album and he's currently in rehearsals at Opera Philadelphia to create the role of Dizzie Gillespie in the world premiere of Charlie Parker's Yardbird (June 5-14).
He had a busy 2014-15 season at Lyric: he appeared in the mainstage productions of Capriccio and Porgy and Bess and starred as Papageno in the brand-new children's presentation The Magic Victrola. Liverman also was a featured performer in the Harris Theater for Music and Dance's new "Beyond the Aria" series last season, which was curated by Ryan Opera Center music director Craig Terry. In previous seasons, he appeared in The Barber of Seville, La traviata, and Werther, among others. Read on to hear more about his recording project and his funniest Lyric moment.

When did you start singing? When did you know you wanted to be a singer?
I started singing in choir when I was really young around age 5 or 6. I didn't realize I wanted to really pursue singing until I sang in the supplementary chorus at Lyric Opera when I was in college. The whole experience of being surrounded by amazing talent and getting a chance to perform on a big stage was when I really knew that this was something I wanted.
Did you ever consider a career other than singing?
If I wasn't singing I probably would've continued to pursue composition and a music education degree.
What was the most memorable performance you've been in at this point in your career?
Actually the most poignant memory I have was being a part of the chorus in Cavalleria Rusticana at Lyric Opera. We got to the big Easter hymn with Dolora Zajick singing Santuzza and never before had I been overwhelmed with such emotion from just the sheer grandeur of what opera can be. Being surrounded by the glorious singing of the chorus, the orchestra, Dolora's glorious voice singing over us, the amazing set, looking out to the big hall, and just singing my little heart out was a special moment. Going back to the previous question, that exact feeling and moment was one that inspired me to pursue this.
What is your most hilarious Ryan Opera Center moment?
There are too many hilarious moments! I guess the funniest would have to be my Ivan persona in Die Fledermaus. It was only a speaking role but it sure was a lot of fun. My character's speaking role is announcing the guests as they arrive to the party and one day just for fun I decided to announce the names as loudly as I possibly could and people thought it was hilarious. So every time after that my goal was to yell the names even louder than I did for the previous show. Sometimes I almost couldn't keep a straight face because of how ridiculous it got by the last performance.

Can you tell us a bit about your recently released album?
I just released my very first album entitled Steal Away. It is a collection of spirituals arranged by the very talented composer Shawn Okpebholo. He is a composition professor at Wheaton College, and he heard me sing at an event there and asked if I would be the featured artist on this project. After listening to a few of the spirituals, I was sold. It was so much fun! It was also cool to sing again with fellow Ryan Opera Center alumna J'nai Bridges, who was a featured singer on a few of the spirituals on the album. Overall, it was a great experience and I hope to record something again one day!

Soprano Tracy Cantin just completed her third and final year in the Ryan Opera Center, wrapping up with a stellar 2014-15 season. Read on to hear about some of her most memorable Lyric
moments and where this Canadian native finds a taste of home in Chicago.
Soprano Tracy Cantin just completed her third and final year in the Ryan Opera Center, wrapping up with a stellar 2014-15 season. Some of her mainstage appearances at Lyric have included roles in Elektra and Rigoletto in the 2012-13 season, Bertha in The Barber of Seville in 2013-14, and a spectacular mid-performance replacement as the title role in Anna Bolena in January 2015.
Read on to hear about some of her most memorable Lyric moments and where this Canadian native finds a taste of home in Chicago.
Name: Tracy CantinAge: 29Voice: SopranoYear in ROC: Alumna, graduated at end of 2014-15 seasonHometown: Summerside, Prince Edward Island, CanadaDream Role: Lady Macbeth in Verdi's Macbeth
I started singing at a very early age, and began private voice studies at the age of 11. Music had always been a large part of my life, singing in my high school jazz bands, and various ensembles in my hometown, but it wasn't really until my senior year of high school that I realized I could actually study music in university and actively pursue it as a career. Initially I thought that perhaps I would like to be a music teacher, but I quickly realized that performing is where my heart and soul were drawn, and so I began my journey!
Did you ever consider a career other than singing? And if you had to imagine an alternative career now, what would it be?
My mom would tell you that I always wanted to be a singer, but to tell you the truth, I wanted to be a hair stylist! An alternate career at this point is almost unimaginable, but I could see myself being a music therapist, or perhaps a speech pathologist—somehow incorporating my love of music into helping others would certainly be a fulfilling alternate career!
Singing on the stage at Lyric is always such an enormous privilege, but I think to date my favorite production was my first: Elektra. What a thrilling experience from beginning to end, from the magnificent cast to the brilliant production and direction, I cannot imagine a better way to have made my professional debut!

What was your experience like stepping in for Sondra Radvanovsky for the last performance of Anna Bolena?
It's quite hard to describe in words to be honest…exhilarating certainly, and somewhat terrifying, but most of all it felt like I was exactly where I was meant to be! I have trained for so many years now, and have come to the end of my apprenticeship with the Ryan Opera Center, and I just felt like my whole life led up to that moment. A great moment! I could not have felt more supported by every single person in the theater that night, whether onstage with me, behind the scenes, or in the audience, and I am so grateful to have had that opportunity. It is a night that I will never forget!
What are some of your favorite places in Chicago?
Chicago is such a vibrant city, and I have had a GREAT time exploring it these past few years! I know that there are even more places for me to discover though, and I look forward to having the time this summer to really enjoy this great city. If I really had to choose, Hopleaf in Andersonville is absolutely my favorite restaurant/bar in town, perhaps because it reminds me a bit of Montreal! Try the CB&J Sandwich. Yum!

Mezzo Julie Miller is in her second and final year as a Ryan Opera Center member. This talented singer does double duty as a working mom, but that hasn't stopped her from appearing at Lyric in The Passenger, The Magic Victrola, Die Fledermaus, La traviata, and Otello, among others. See her this Saturday in Rising Stars in Concert.
Mezzo Julie Miller is in her second and final year as a Ryan Opera Center member. This talented singer does double duty as a working mom, but that hasn't stopped her from appearing at Lyric in The Passenger, The Magic Victrola, Die Fledermaus, La traviata, and Otello, among others.
She was also just announced as the winner of the Jerome and Elaine Nerenberg Foundation Scholarship through the Musicians Club of Women.
Julie's final performance at Lyric is the upcoming Rising Stars in Concert on Saturday, March 21. (Donate $75 or more today to secure your place at that exciting concert. )
Name: Julie MillerAge: 30Voice: mezzo-sopranoYear in ROC: 2ndHometown: Sacramento, CaliforniaDream Role: Octavian in Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier
I began singing in choirs when I was 7 years old and continued to do so until my senior year in college. I knew I wanted to be a singer after singing the role of Ottavia in L'incoronazione di Poppea. This was my first role, and upon completing her first aria ("Disprezzata regina"), I was hooked.
I began college planning to have a career as a violinist; I even completed a degree in Violin Performance. However, once I was introduced to the multi-faceted aspects of singing (i.e. language study, acting, dance), a career as an opera singer was a clear choice. If I were to imagine myself in another career, it would be zoology because I have always been fascinated by animals, especially large cats, and I think it would be fun to work with and train them.
My most memorable performance to date was singing Emilia in Otello at Lyric last season. Not only was it my house debut, but I had the privilege and thrill of sharing the stage with famous/amazing singers that I admire, Ana María Martínez and Johan Botha.
Miller as Emilia with Falk Struckmann as Iago in Otello
How do you balance being a parent with your singing?
I love my daughter, and I am grateful for the perspective and balance she provides in my life. She's 2 1/2 years old, so I always have a smile and hug to come home to despite what my day may have been like. It is, however, difficult at times to balance being a mom and an opera singer. I would not be able to do so without the support, sacrifice, and dedication of my husband. There have been numerous occasions where he has been both "mom" and "dad" so that I can travel for gigs and take extra time for score study and practice.
Can you compare Chicago to your hometown of Sacramento?
It is difficult to compare the two cities as they are quite different in climate and size, but Sacramento will always have a special place in my heart because it is home. That being said, I have grown to love Chicago for its wonderful support for the arts, great food, and beautiful architecture.

This department cannot be a purveyor of current news, but
it must comment on the recent acquisition by The University
of Texas of the well-known Philpott collection of Texas books.
The importance of this acquisition could hardly be over-
emphasized and it certainly need not be exaggerated. The
Philpott books on Texas are of importance in themselves. Many
people have had the pleasure of seeing the fine volumes of
Texana which W. A. Philpott, Jr. of Dallas has gathered with
painstaking care over the years. The fact that few have been
permitted the pleasure of handling these beautiful volumes is
an index to the care exercised by Mr. Philpott in procuring
the most nearly perfect specimen of each book that he could
obtain and guarantees now that these books will come to The
University of Texas in what is known as "mint condition." If
any are not in mint condition, it is not Mr. Philpott's fault,
either as a purchaser or as a guardian of books. As a result
of his discrimination in the first instance and his utter relent-
lessness in the second, he has rendered a great service and we
are all willing to forgive him for withdrawing beyond range
some perfect volume as we instinctively reached for it, like a
fisherman who uses alluring bait but never permits the fish to
seize it. In saying this for and of Mr. Philpott I believe I speak
for all Texas book lovers and for most Texans.
The Philpott collection is important because it is the first
spectacular addition to the Texas Collection of books owned
by the people of Texas and preserved for them in the library
of the University. The Texas Collection in the University library
is the largest and most valuable of its kind in the world. It has
been built up by accretion over a long period of years, a book
here, a pamphlet there, a document or a packet of letters from
some obscure attic. There has been nothing to excite exclama-
tion about the Texas Collection or its acquisition up to this point.
Neither was there anything spectacular about the geologic proc-
esses that laid down the plains and crumpled up the mountains

Fact of the week: Sjogren's syndrome often accompanies other immune system diseases
Sjogren's syndrome often accompanies other immune-system disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus and hashimoto's thyroid.
We did a small informal survey on facebook asking Sjogren's sufferers if they had other autoimmune conditions as well as Sjogren's. Seventeen women responded. This is what they said:
4 had Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an underactive thyroid condition.
1 had Graves disease, an overactive thyroid condition.
3 had a type of myositis.
4 had Rheumatoid Arthritis RA.
3 had Lupus.
2 had Celiac disease.
1 had Diabetes.
2 had Scleroderma.
1 had Ankolysing Spondylitis AS.
6 had Raynaud's disease.
6 women had 3 or more autoimmune conditions. Some mentioned other conditions that were not immune related diseases.

Personal stories about Sjogren's Syndrome
I was diagnosed at the age of 2, very uncommon, and I am now 24.
The past couple years I have been developing more problems and discovering different symptoms connected with my SS.
Last year I had a lung biopsy and am now taking an inhaler as needed. I started seeing my Rheumatoid specialist at the age of 14 and it was discovered that I had rheumatoid fluid in all my joints. The fluid has decreased but pain is reoccurring.
The most common symptoms I have are: chronic arthritic pain as well as inflammation in my periodic/salivary glands. I have changed my diet and am now trying to be gluten free. Gluten causes inflammation, which SS can tend to be associated with. I have only been gluten free for a few months, however, I do see a difference in how I feel overall.
I am glad I discovered this blog. I find it interesting reading other's experience with SS since I've never met anyone else with this disorder considering it is very rare at my age.
Celebrities with Sjogren's Syndrome
|Nina Rawls
Nina Rawls has Secondary Sjogren's Syndrome, meaning it occurs in the presence of another connective tissue autoimmune disease, in her case lupus.
"With my finding, I am now an advocate for Sjogren's syndrome awareness, early diagnosis and treatment. I'm learning that although there is no cure for the syndrome, there are treatments that can greatly improve my troubling symptoms and will prevent further complications," concludes Rawls. "I'm hoping a greater awareness of the syndrome will push others to be more pro-active in talking with their doctors and dentists about their symptoms and gain potential treatment options."

Sjogren's Fact of the Week
Primary Sjögren's syndrome sufferers prone to develop serious complications
I did not like the results of this study and found it quite depressing.
Patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome are prone to develop serious complications over the long term, despite the presumption that this is a relatively benign autoimmune disease, a 25-year review found.
For instance, fully half developed an additional autoimmune disease such as cutaneous lupus, and one in every 10 was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, according to Esha Abrol, BSc, of University College London.
The study was of only152 patients but they had been studied since 1986. There were other important facts that came out of this study as well:
- one quarter of the patients had nervous system involvement and peripheral neuropathy
- 18.5% of patients had died at an average age of 72, which is 10 years earlier than the average life expectancy of a woman un the UK
- the most common disease was non- Hodgkin's lymphoma
I am not sure what can be done about this except to enjoy life while we have it and have regular check ups by a specialist in Sjogren's Syndrome.
Do you feel that you have a good specialist who understands all this?
Do you feel that you have a good specialist who understands all this?
Read the full report from Medpage. Maybe we should be printing it out and taking it to our specialists.
Sjogren's Fact of the Week
This makes it the second most common rheumatic disease yet many people have never heard of it. Read more...
What is Primary Sjogren's Syndrome
The symptoms of Sjögren's Syndrome vary greatly between individuals.
Symptoms include a dryness of the moist areas of the body, like the mouth, eyes, ears, nose and vagina. Fatigue and depression, plus painful joints, are also associated with the disease.
When organs other than the lacrimal and salivary glands are affected, this is known as "extraglandular involvement." Usually, this occurs in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (see "Primary Versus Secondary Sjögren's Syndrome").
Manifestations of Primary Sjögren's Syndrome include :
- joint inflammation
- particular forms of autoimmune thyroid, kidney, liver, lung, and skin disease
- changes in nerve function of the upper or lower limbs
- small proportion of patients may progress to a form of lymphoma

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Tuesday's swearing-in ceremony for the 120 members of the nation's 19th Knesset promises to be a festive occasion.
MK Benjamin Ben-Eliezer (Labor), a 29-year veteran lawmaker and the oldest parliamentarian at 77, will serve as moderator.
Tuesday's events begin with President Shimon Peres laying a wreath on the memorial for Israel's fallen soldiers.
Festivities will also include portions of the late David Ben-Gurion's speech on May 14, 1948, declaring the establishment of the modern nation-state, reading from the Book of Psalms, and the swearing-in ceremony, followed by a toast to the new members of Knesset.

Beginning in late February, Mississippi State University provost Jerry Gilbert will pull double duty as interim dean of MSUŌĆÖs Bagley College of Engineering.
During this interim, MSU will search nationwide to replace former Bagley College dean Sarah Rajala, selected as dean of Iowa State UniversityŌĆÖs College of Engineering in December. Don Zant, MSU vice president for budget and planning, is leading a 16-member university search committee working in conjunction with Parker Executive Search in Atlanta to find RajalaŌĆÖs successor. Gilbert said in a press release he is confident the search will be quick, and he will personally ensure a smooth transition.
ŌĆ£Don has excellent experience with searches and brings strong institutional commitment to the search process,ŌĆØ Gilbert said in the release. ŌĆ£I am confident that the stellar reputation of the Bagley College of Engineering will attract a large number of highly qualified candidates and that we can move quickly in identifying an outstanding leader for the college.ŌĆØ
MSU University Relations director Sid Salter said searches like this typically take four to six months, but Gilbert believes Parker Executive SearchŌĆÖs assistance can accelerate the process to 3.5 months.
ŌĆ£Dr. Gilbert has said that MSU is looking for a visionary leader who can build on the successes of the past and take the College of Engineering┬Āto new levels of excellence,ŌĆØ Salter said. ŌĆ£Having a search firm assist in the search will help develop a stronger pool of candidates and will help us move faster in the process. Parker Executive Search ... (is) confident that we can stay on task with the goal of having candidates identified and interviewed by mid-May.ŌĆØ
Previously in his career, Gilbert served for eight years as MSUŌĆÖs agricultural and biological engineering department head, and he founded MSUŌĆÖs graduate program in biomedical engineering. Salter said these and other experiences have equipped Gilbert well to step into the interim dean role.
ŌĆ£Dr. Gilbert has an engineering degree from MSU and one from Duke University,ŌĆØ Salter said. ŌĆ£His involvement in engineering education for over 30 years, including being an academic department head at MSU for eight years, gives him great insight into the unique challenges associated with a college of engineering.ŌĆØ
Gilbert will not be handling his dual roles alone, Salter said. Engineering associate deans Lori Bruce and Royce Bowden will assist Gilbert with his duties as interim engineering dean, he said, and associate vice presidents Peter Ryan and Julia Hodges will assist with his duties as MSU provost and executive vice president.
Gilbert said a colleague from another university has shown him that a provost can handle a second job. Before being named the University of AlabamaŌĆÖs first female president in November, Judy Bonner served as both interim president and provost at Alabama for six months, Gilbert said.
ŌĆ£I know itŌĆÖs possible to do the provostŌĆÖs job and to do another job at the same time, particularly if you have people that are working in the offices that can help you, and theyŌĆÖve all agreed to ... support me and help me,ŌĆØ Gilbert said. ŌĆ£We want to go through the interim process very quickly and identify a dean that will keep the playing field level and open for a lot of candidates from the outside, so ... they donŌĆÖt think that thereŌĆÖs any preconceived ideas about whoŌĆÖs going to be the next dean.ŌĆØ
Gilbert said the dual duties also give him a chance to communicate closely with Bagley College faculty during the search for a new dean.
ŌĆ£I think itŌĆÖs really going to be to their benefit to have me as the interim for a short period of time,ŌĆØ Gilbert said. ŌĆ£The shorter the period of time, the better.ŌĆØ
