It was a late-April-shirtsleeves day in Illyria. The rabble hooted and clapped as haughty Malvolio flung himself in front of the stone monument in neon-yellow tights criss-crossed with garters. He proclaimed his love for the lady Olivia passionately, comically, loudly enough to carry over a trumpet player wailing the blues back near the arch and the barking of dozens of dachshunds next to the fountain.
A frazzle-bearded man dressed in layers of shabby clothes and a Yankees cap sat near a tree, his ample rump planted on a loop of stout hanging chain that separated pavement from plantings. Ten feet from him, a hipster collected his pit bull's droppings in a plastic bag. A teenaged girl chatted on her phone, her sneakered foot planted on a bench, next to a dad with his little son on his lap.
The boy drooled. He pointed at the silly man in funky legwear.
Awww. Baby's first Shakespeare.
Shakespeare in the Park.
But…not that Park.
Shakespeare in Washington Square, actually. No big names; no fur capes and feathered caps. Shakespeare as the Bard intended. Or, sayith the company of game young New York University students who directed, crewed, and acted in this production of Twelfth Night: Shakespeare "under the sun and in front of a loud, standing and possibly distracted audience."
To be fair, loud and distracted as we were, most of us were sitting. Paul and I sat on a bench next to a man who proudly, and loudly, pronounced the scene the "Real New York." Cultural stuff like this only happened in Manhattan. Manhattan was the Greatest City in the World.
"We live in Brooklyn," I said. "Brooklyn has–"
Nothing like Manhattan, he scoffed. There is Nowhere Like Manhattan.
"You live in Manhattan?" I asked.
No, he lived in Vero Beach, Florida. It was the Best of All Possible Worlds; a True Jewel–
At that point, I fled to the pavement to sit among the students and other riff-raff.
The company was excellent–fine enough to hold us willingly captive for two hours on the grubby, unforgiving cement. Nobody threw rotten fruit at the stage, as we might have in the days of Shakespeare's traveling troupe. The cast, to a man–and woman (which was not as the Bard had intended)–delivered their lines crisply and well. The timing was spot-on, the slapstick clever.
It was a bare-bones production: the most elaborate set piece was a rudimentary curtained box, the makeshift holding tank in which the wretched Malvolio was temporarily confined as a crazy. I suspect it doubled as a transport for costumes and props. The only scenery was a length of cloth held by two cast members, a half-dead tree branch, and the monument to early industrial engineer Alexander Holley, whose bust pointedly ignored the spectacle beneath his plinth.
The company had clearly put a lot of work into the production. They also had fun with it, right down to the music they sang at the beginning and during the brief intermission–a selection that featured Lady Ga-ga, the Beatles, and Frankie Valli's Walk Like a Man, a wink at the gender-bending plot.
Their enthusiasm charmed us, their motley audience, even if it didn't soothe the savage dachshund (Turns out, it was a dachshund parade–a Murder of dachshunds? An Unkindness of dachshunds? A Pride? A Gaggle? A Bark, perhaps?–that began and ended at the Square's central fountain. This is indeed the Greatest City in the World…).
Shakespeare in the Square is the brainchild of two students in NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Rose Bochner and Dan Hasse, both freshmen, planted their first cast of hardy souls in the Square this February to stage Julius Caesar. Yes, February: If you visit the project's website, http://shakespeareinthesquare.com/, you'll find photos of audience members in down jackets and wool scarves. You'll also find a very cool trailer for the show: multiple murders set to a cast member's rendition of the Stones' Under My Thumb.
This company of young thespians do their crazy thing for love of the art and the material, and for the experience. Not for money (the performance is free); not even, according to a cast member, for class credit.
That, in these dubious times, is something worth barking about.

How to use Siri faster by talking less
If you watched the new iPhone 4S commercials that Apple released last night, the ones that feature John Malkovich asking Siri for jokes and about the meaning of life, you might have noticed the way in which he was asking. In short, it was short. David Chartier certainly noticed:
Joke features him speaking a series of one-word commands to Siri that practically feel like verbal equivalents of tapping on a particular app to get a particular piece of information. "Weather." "Evening." "Linguica." "Joke." Apple seems to want to remind us that, underneath the clever responses and artificial personality, Siri is a tool meant to help us get more done with less.
Talking to Siri like it's a Pixar character certainly makes it more endearing, and makes the virtual relationship seem more real. The commercial shows, however, that if you don't have time or simply aren't in the mood for pleasantries, you can get to the point with machine-like brevity.
Unfortunately, for all of Siri's context awareness, it doesn't seem to notice when your communications are rushed and respond in kind. As the commercial also shows, even one short word like "life" can return a paragraph-long reply.
For more tips, check out our latest Siri how-to series, or jump on over to our Siri forum and tell us how you prefer talking to Apple's adorable little digital assistant!

How to use Siri faster by talking less
To me it seems to remind us of how truly simplistic Siri is. I like my Iphone 4S, but really it is only taking key words...definitely not fully understanding your request in most instances. That being said it is a great start...I would love to see what Google counters with, especially since their voice actions (to me) are already just as good if not better.
I would love to see Apple pick-up some of Google voice actions like calling businesses not on your phone---Call, Pizza hut in Bowie, MD...Instantly the phone dials. LOVE IT and Used it all the time on my Android devices.
People. You do realize that as much as everyone crows about Siri understanding real world context, she still only listening to certain words identified as commands right?
This isnt new. And it actually makes MORE sense to actually just give COMMANDS instead of trying to talk to the darn phone.
I honestly believe that when most of us use Siri we
- Make a concentrated effort to use 'conversational' tones. (Which kinda defeats the purpose)
- We already keep COMMANDS extrememly simple.
I mean really, who the heck would actually ask another person if we needed a raincoat or umbrella without first having the inkling of an idea that it was already raining?!
Voice Control 2.0
It's extremely deceiving though. I was under the impression that we were talking to an AI. But if you notice, the most intelligent things Siri says, Siri didn't ever say.
Like the said commercials, people wrote that. If you really ever tried to talk to Siri, you know that it has no idea what you're talking about. At all.
It's a nice toy, but you might as well just turn it off.
Better app integration would help. When I tell Jeanie on my EVO to "Navigate to " it automatically starts up navigation to direct me there. That is very useful when driving. I can toggle wifi, bluetooth, adjust volume, etc. And that's with a free 2nd-rate Siri knock-off.
To me, these things would seem obvious to do with Siri, yet as I understand it Siri can't do any of that. Considering Siri is supposedly the gold standard of voice control, I just don't understand why it is so lacking.
If I were to go walking in mineral water, the click might express I'm only doing it mainly because I cannot frolic in the water.
I just booked a trip with Ceap Carribean. Had to change the dates of travel. Cheap Carribean is charging us $549.00 to do this. They stated that it was Delta's charges to reissue airline tickets. After talking to Delta they stated they do not charge any secondary fees. There were no extra fees they knew of. Contacted Cheap Carribean again and they finally admitted to me that it was their fees. After complaining they said I still needed to pay their fees to rebook. I have traveled with Cheap Carribean before with 6 other people I will not travel with them again. Their fees to change anything are outragios.
Where are the results of the Gold Rush?

Tuesday, June 17, 2014
Berkeley County voters arent done yet with selecting the Republican nominee and presumptive superintendent to run the county.
Barring a successful write-in campaign in Novembers general election, whoever wins the June 24 runoff will likely be sworn-in as supervisor in January.
Incumbent Dan Davis won last weeks vote count, but was unable to gain more than 50 percent of the vote during his three-way race against Moncks Corner Mayor Bill Peagler and businessman Jerry Beckley. Beckley earned only 16 percent of the vote, and after losing his bid, endorsed Peagler.
Beckley was largely favored by members of the Goose Creek 9.12 and other conservative minorities in the county. Their total vote could swing the election in Peaglers favor.
Still, Davis faced a similar circumstance four years ago, when he successfully defeated U.S. Congressman Henry Brown in the Republican runoff.
Berkeley County is one of four counties in South Carolina that has an elected supervisor government. According to S.C. Association of Counties, in a supervisor-council form of government, administrative responsibility resides in an elected supervisor who serves as chair of council, but only votes in case of a tie.
In recent years, since the election of Ken Gunn, Davis has not had enough votes on council losing out to a majority unofficially headed by Councilman Tim Callanan.
Both sides have been accused of being divisive.
In a May event, sponsored by The Independent, Davis responded to the divide:
The split is due to politics, not decisions that are in the best interest of the county ... We think were making good recommendations in the interest of the county. I got to believe the public gets tired of those putting personal animosity over whats best for the county.
Peagler said last week, that following the primary, he met with the majority group on council.
I am a conservative Republican and, apparently, my goals and ambitions are similar to Tim (Callanan) and also with (Ken) Gunn and (Dennis) Fish and others. We all have the same goals, and that is to increase the efficiency of government and to be transparent, Peagler said. They agree with me that the taxpayer is our main concern.
He added that while hes a team player, hes not on anybodys team.
Peagler was emboldened by last weeks primary, which saw only a 700-vote gap between him and the incumbent.
Tuesdays results spoke to me that Berkeley County is ready for a change, Peagler said. He only beat me by a few hundred votes, and I think that speaks loudly.
But for Davis, hes not surprised by the results, landing into a runoff with a man hes known for over 25 years.
Overall its pretty much what we expected, Davis said on Thursday. Davis responded to Beckleys support of Peagler: Its a concern but, then again, it always works that way. In the next election the runoff it may not have the same people turnout ... Our job over the next couple weeks is to make sure we get more turnout than we did in the intitial election.
Any registered voter in Berkeley County who did not vote in the June 10 Democratic primary is eligible to vote June 24.
Both candidates are turning to their public service records to show what they can do for leading the county.
Davis points to his tutelage of sound finances, the completion of the 17-A project, and other road projects.
I think everyone ought to run on their record because thats the only thing you know for sure, Davis said. (But) theres a difference between the county and the city, so my record is a reflection of what Ive done in the county.
Davis said being mayor of Moncks Corner is not preparation enough to assume the helm of the county. Peagler, naturally, disagrees.
If voters look at what weve done in Moncks Corner ... weve given the county 11 police cars that tells you something about the way we manage our budget, Peagler said. Our budget is oriented to the taxpayer.

Hutchinson CC Makes Hoops History; Both Men's and Women's Teams No. 1 in NJCAA PollsJanuary 15, 2013
From HCC Sports Information
The Hutchinson Community College men's and women's basketball teams made NJCAA history on Tuesday when the Blue Dragon men reached No. 1 in the latest Division I poll.
Hutchinson becomes the school in NJCAA Division I basketball history to have both its men's and women's teams hold the No. 1 ranking in their respective polls at the same time, according to the NJCAA.
Last week, for the first time in HCC women's program history, the Lady Dragons (17-0, 3-0 Jayhawk West), moved to No. 1 in the women's Division I poll. Then on Wednesday, the door was opened for the Blue Dragon men to move into the top slot after former No. 1 Chipola lost at Northwest Florida State and HCC defeated Butler in El Dorado.
The Blue Dragons will next play on Wednesday night when Barton comes to the Sports Arena. The women's game is at 5:30 p.m. and the men's game against the No. 13 Cougars will be at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday is also the Blue Dragon Chili and Ice Cream Feed from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Sports Arena's small gym.
Division I has had a couple of close calls to the same school holding both No. 1 spots.
In 2005, Western Nebraska had its men's team and women's teams ranked No. 1 within one week of each other. In 1990, the Connors State women were ranked No. 1 and its men's team was No. 2 for several weeks, but both never reached No. 1 at the same time.
HCC head coach Steve Eck is the only coach in NJCAA history to take four different teams – Butler, Redlands, Cowley and Hutchinson – to No. 1 during a season.
This is the second time in three seasons that the Blue Dragons reached the No. 1 spot in the men's poll. The 2010-11 Blue Dragons held the top spot for two weeks.
Before that, the last time that Hutchinson was ranked No. 1 in a regular season poll was on Jan. 7, 1992. The Blue Dragons – the starting point guard on that team was current HCC women's coach John Ontjes – started that season 15-0 and spent one week in the nation's top spot before getting bumped off. That team finished 22-7 and was Region VI runner-up.
The latest No. 1 national ranking is only the fourth since 1975 for the Blue Dragon men.
The 1974-75 Blue Dragons, coached by Dick Gisel, started their season 24-0. That Blue Dragon team finished 32-3, won the Jayhawk West and Region VI crowns and finished eighth in the 1975 NJCAA Tournament.
When Hutchinson won its national championships in 1988 and 1994, the Blue Dragons were ranked fifth and 10th, respectively, going into the NJCAA Tournament. The 1988 Blue Dragons climbed all the way to No. 2 during the season, but never reached No. 1.
The 2012-13 Blue Dragons are tied for the sixth-best start in team history at 17-0, starting the Jayhawk West season 3-0. HCC is one of five unbeaten teams remaining in Division I. Hutchinson garnered 13 of 15 first-place votes.
The new Top 5 is Hutchinson, Palm Beach State College, Iowa Western, Vincennes University and Spartanburg Methodist College. Coffeyville moves 1spot to No. 9. Barton suffered one defeat last week and slipped four spots to No. 13.
Chipola dropped to No. 7 in this week's poll. Hutchinson is the third time this season to be ranked No. 1 in the men's poll. Joining HCC and Chipola was preseason No. 1 South Plains College.
HCC has now been ranked in 10 consecutive NJCAA polls, dating back to last season.

Community rallying behind Rossford teen battling cancerWritten by Holly Tuey | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Josh Maas is a senior at Rossford High School who has never sought special attention, according to his coach. Now that he has been diagnosed with cancer, he is getting attention from the entire community.
Josh was diagnosed with testicular cancer about a week after the football season ended.
"Looking back now, he must have played at least four games with cancer," said Todd Drusback, Josh's football coach. "He didn't miss practice, didn't miss a game, didn't miss a play."
Drusback said the offensive guard did say he was fatigued toward the end of the season, but he didn't think anything of it.
"It's been kind of surreal in a sense," said Josh's mother Christine. "You have an 18-year-old child and he's been extraordinarily healthy all his life, other than sports injuries. It was kind of shocking in that regard."
The cancer has spread to Josh's liver and lungs. He started chemotherapy recently and will undergo four rounds of treatments, lasting approximately four months.
"Josh is a great kid," Drusback said. "Very humble, caring, and he just goes about his business without having to have that persona of 'Look at me.' And because of that, his teammates obviously care very much about him."
Drusback also said this has hit close to home for the team and others at Rossford High School. Just two years ago, another football player, Kerry Keller, lost his battle with cancer.
"Obviously, each situation is different, but Kerry inspired a lot of us," Drusback said. "His motto was 'Carry on,' and Josh, I think, is taking that approach. He's very positive and he's a fighter. He's been a fighter ever since I've coached him."
Having just finished the MD program at the University of Toledo Medical Center in June, Christine said she looks at her son's situation from a medical perspective as well as a maternal one. She said while his diagnosis isn't great, it could be worse, and that's how Josh looks at it, too.
"With the support of the community, family and friends, and also our faith, he'll get through this," she said.
With any situation like Josh's, it can affect how the family functions. Drusback said both parents may not be able to continue working, and the bills will pile up. So friends of the family are holding a benefit dinner to help.
"We really appreciate everybody, not just in Rossford but in all of Northwest Ohio," said Rodney Maas, Josh's father. "The community's come behind Josh full strength, really helping him out drastically with the support and everything else."
Rodney said Drusback has been a huge support for Josh. He has been there for moral support and helped get tickets to the Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions game on Thanksgiving.
The dinner will take place from noon to 5 p.m. Dec. 15 at the IBEW Local Union 245, 705 Lime City Road, Rossford. Tickets are $10 for adults and children age 10 and older and $5 for children younger than 10. There will be a spaghetti dinner, silent auction and 50-50 raffle.
To show support for Josh or get involved with the benefit and raise awareness, visit the Facebook page "Maas Strong."

Monday, July 14, 2014
The South Carolina State University Foundation has pledged $1 million to the institution.
The pledge comes following a request made by the universitys president, Thomas J. Elzey.
At its June meeting, the SC State Board of Trustees empowered Elzey to ask the Foundation for its support as the university strategically works to maximize recruitment and retention efforts for the 2014-2015 academic year.
We are extremely grateful to the SC State University Foundation for this monumental commitment to the success of the university and its students, said President Elzey.
This is the time when students and their parents are making their final decisions about where to go to college. For many of them, that final decision comes down to whether they have the money or not. Elzey said.
The $1 million pledge is one of the largest made by the Foundation in recent history.
During its June meeting, the board heard from the universitys vice president for enrollment management, Betty Boatwright, who reported that, while the university is seeing a record number of new student applicants, a large number of those who have been accepted by the university and received financial aid packages remain uncommitted and have not paid orientation deposits because they lack sufficient finances to secure class schedules.
Boatwright further explained that if the university offered assistance to close the financial gap for these students, they would attend. The same is true for returning students who may need financial support.
She added that S.C. State is competing with other institutions that are aggressively targeting the same students for commitments.
These days, students have choices, said Boatwright. Its important that prospective students and their parents know that S.C. State has the best offerings and is committed to doing whatever it takes to help its students get a quality college education, Boatwright said.
As of June 2014, SC State Universitys office of admissions processed more than 6,000 applications from prospective new undergraduate and graduate students. Of those, more than 2,400 were accepted.
Like many historically black colleges and universities across the nation, S.C. State experienced a serious drop in enrollment mainly due to major cuts in college funding sources for students, including federal Pell Grants and Parent PLUS loans.
From the first day of his presidency, President Elzey made increasing enrollment a top priority. His multi-year enrollment management plan aims to return enrollment to robust levels that will stabilize the university.

Show off your toned legs in a cool, comfortable pair of shorts for the warmer weather. From padded lycra to casual baggies,we've got shorts to suit every occasion – with or without the padded bits. If you're going for a serious ride, lycra shorts may offer the best performance. Many feature padding and antibacterial treatments and are available for men and women, while bib shorts do away with the potentially annoying waistband. Mountain bikers and even commuters or leisure cyclists may get more from the casual style of baggies. These still retain performance features – such as padding and technical materials – but are looser and more comfortable. If you just want to wear your regular shorts or trousers, you could also slip on a pair of padded undershorts for extra comfort. View bestselling Endura shorts and Castelli shorts.

What would the American culture wars look like if they were less about "values" and more about Jesus?
Evangelical Christianity has long had a stranglehold on how Americans imagine public faith. Vague invocations of "religion"—whether it's "religion vs. science" or "religious freedom"—usually really mean "conservative, Protestant, evangelical Christianity," and this assumption inevitably frames debates about American belief. For the other three-quarters of the population—Catholics, Jews, other Protestants, Muslims, Hindus, secular Americans, Buddhists, Wiccans, etc.—this can be infuriating. For some evangelicals, it's a sign of success, a linguistic triumph of the culture wars.
But not for Russell Moore. In 2013, the 43-year-old theologian became the head of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the political nerve center of the Southern Baptist Convention. His predecessor, Richard Land, prayed with George W. Bush, played hardball with Democrats, and helped make evangelicals a quintessentially Republican voting bloc.
Many psychiatrists believe that a new approach to diagnosing and treating depression—linking individual symptoms to their underlying mechanisms—is needed for research to move forward.
In his Aphorisms, Hippocrates defined melancholia, an early understanding of depression, as a state of "fears and despondencies, if they last a long time." It was caused, he believed, by an excess of bile in the body (the word "melancholia" is ancient Greek for "black bile").
Ever since then, doctors have struggled to create a more precise and accurate definition of the illness that still isn't well understood. In the 1920s, the German psychiatrist Kurt Schneider argued that depression could be divided into two separate conditions, each requiring a different form of treatment: depression that resulted from changes in mood, which he called "endogenous depression," and depression resulting from reactions to outside events, or "reactive depression." His theory was challenged in 1926, when the British psychologist Edward Mapother argued in the British Medical Journal that there was no evidence for two distinct types of depression, and that the apparent differences between depression patients were just differences in the severity of the condition.
Why the obsession with our kids' happiness may be dooming them to unhappy adulthoods. A therapist and mother reports.
If there's one thing I learned in graduate school, it's that the poet Philip Larkin was right. ("They fuck you up, your mum and dad, / They may not mean to, but they do.") At the time, I was a new mom with an infant son, and I'd decided to go back to school for a degree in clinical psychology. With baby on the brain and term papers to write, I couldn't ignore the barrage of research showing how easy it is to screw up your kids. Of course, everyone knows that growing up with "Mommy Dearest" produces a very different child from one raised by, say, a loving PTA president who has milk and homemade cookies waiting after school. But in that space between Joan Crawford and June Cleaver, where most of us fall, it seemed like a lot could go wrong in the kid-raising department.
The jobs that are least vulnerable to automation tend to be held by women.
Many economists and technologists believe the world is on the brink of a new industrial revolution, in which advances in the field of artificial intelligence will obsolete human labor at an unforgiving pace. Two Oxford researchers recently analyzed the skills required for more than 700 different occupations to determine how many of them would be susceptible to automation in the near future, and the news was not good: They concluded that machines are likely to take over 47 percent of today's jobs within a few decades.
This is a dire prediction, but one whose consequences will not fall upon society evenly. A close look at the data reveals a surprising pattern: The jobs performed primarily by women are relatively safe, while those typically performed by men are at risk.
Ecuador tried to rewrite the rules of human migration—only to recoil at the results.
LAGO AGRIO, Ecuador—Hitler was behind the wheel, racing through a blur of jungle toward Ecuador's border with Colombia. Only when an immigration officer in green fatigues hurried out from a checkpoint, yelling, did Hitler pump the brakes. The policeman asked if we wanted our passports stamped, and all four of us in the truck—an American, a Dane, a Colombian, and an Ecuadorian—declined. With that, the official waved goodbye and we lurched onward to Colombia.
The river that marks the border between the countries is anything but an impassable boundary. Along its length are dozens of illicit crossings, and the movement of people—and problems—from one bank to the other is a fact of daily life. From a bridge, I could see, on the Colombian side, a black plume of smoke rising from an oil pipeline that FARC rebels had reportedly bombed the previous day. On the Ecuadorian side was a ghost town of ramshackle sheds that those same guerrillas were known to rent for a few hours of partying.
Exceptional nonfiction stories from 2014 that are still worth encountering today
Each year, I keep a running list of exceptional nonfiction that I encounter as I publish The Best of Journalism, an email newsletter that I send out once or twice a week. This is my annual attempt to bring some of those stories to a wider audience. I could not read or note every worthy article that was published last calendar year and I haven't included any paywalled articles or anything published at The Atlantic. But everything that follows is worthy of wider attention and engagement.

The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here's what that means for its strategy—and for how to stop it.
What is the Islamic State?
Where did it come from, and what are its intentions? The simplicity of these questions can be deceiving, and few Western leaders seem to know the answers. In December, The New York Times published confidential comments by Major General Michael K. Nagata, the Special Operations commander for the United States in the Middle East, admitting that he had hardly begun figuring out the Islamic State's appeal. "We have not defeated the idea," he said. "We do not even understand the idea." In the past year, President Obama has referred to the Islamic State, variously, as "not Islamic" and as al-Qaeda's "jayvee team," statements that reflected confusion about the group, and may have contributed to significant strategic errors.
It's impossible to "solve" the Iranian nuclear threat. This agreement is the next best thing.
Having carefully reviewed the lengthy and complex agreement negotiated by the United States and its international partners with Iran, I have reached the following conclusion: If I were a member of Congress, I would vote yes on the deal. Here are nine reasons why.
1. No one has identified a better feasible alternative. Before negotiations halted its nuclear advance, Iran had marched relentlessly down the field from 10 years away from a bomb to two months from that goal line. In response, the United States and its partners imposed a series of sanctions that have had a significant impact on Iran's economy, driving it to negotiate. That strategy worked, and resulted in a deal. In the absence of this agreement, the most likely outcome would be that the parties resume doing what they were doing before the freeze began: Iran installing more centrifuges, accumulating a larger stockpile of bomb-usable material, shrinking the time required to build a bomb; the U.S. resuming an effort to impose more severe sanctions on Iran. Alternatively, Israel or the United States could conduct military strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, setting back the Iranian program by two years, or perhaps even three. But that option risks wider war in the Middle East, an Iran even more determined to acquire a bomb, and the collapse of consensus among American allies.

Interpretive Handbook
83939 :
Short-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase (SCAD) Deficiency, Mutation Screen
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD) catalyzes the first step in the mitochondrial beta-oxidation of fatty acids with a chain length of 6 to 4 carbons. SCAD deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive condition. The clinical phenotype of SCAD shows considerable variability and is incompletely defined. Of those reported cases, hypoglycemia, developmental delay, and muscle hypotonia are the most common indicated features. The diagnosis of SCAD deficiency is challenging and should be based on the clinical presentation, 2 or more findings of ethylmalonic aciduria, and determination of fatty acid flux in fibroblasts indicating deficient SCAD activity. Molecular genetic analysis of the gene associated with SCAD (ACADS) may confirm the biochemical phenotype of SCAD deficiency.
The first step in evaluation for SCAD deficiency is identification of 2 or more findings of ethylmalonic aciduria, as determined by either OAU / Organic Acids Screen, Urine or ACYLG / Acylglycines, Quantitative, Urine. Ethylmalonic aciduria is a common, although not specific, laboratory finding in patients with SCAD deficiency. Determination of fatty acid flux in fibroblasts (FAO / Fatty Acid Oxidation Probe Assay, Fibroblast Culture) is warranted for an individual with 2 or more findings of ethylmalonic aciduria.
DNA sequencing of the ACADS gene is typically utilized only when SCAD deficiency is identified through biochemical analysis. The ACADS gene, associated with SCAD deficiency, is located on chromosome 12q22 and consists of 10 exons. Molecular genetic studies revealed that some patients carry ACADS gene mutations that cause complete absence of SCAD activity, while others carry ACADS gene variants (511C->T; 625G->A) that may confer disease susceptibility only in association with other factors. The allele frequencies in the general population of the 511C->T and 625G->A gene variants are 3% and 22%, respectively. The presence of 2 of these gene variants is not considered an independent diagnostic marker for SCAD deficiency. Although further investigation is needed, it is most likely that these variants are not clinically significant.
Identification of 2 ACADS gene mutations that cause complete absence of SCAD activity alone is not sufficient to explain or determine possible clinical phenotype or prognosis. The clinical significance of carrying 2 mutations is often uncertain. Therefore, the results of ACADS gene sequencing for SCAD deficiency should be interpreted in light of the clinical presentation and biochemical findings in each case.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Preferred molecular analysis to confirm a diagnosis of short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (as a follow-up to the biochemical analyses only)
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
An interpretive report will be provided.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
A small percentage of individuals who are carriers or have a diagnosis of short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD) deficiency may have a mutation that is not identified by this method (eg, large genomic deletions, promoter mutations). The absence of a mutation, therefore, does not eliminate the possibility of positive carrier status or the diagnosis of SCAD deficiency. For carrier testing, it is important to first document the presence of an ACADS gene mutation in an affected family member.
In some cases, DNA alterations of undetermined significance may be identified.
Rare polymorphisms exist that could lead to false-negative or false-positive results. If results obtained do not match the clinical and biochemical findings, additional testing should be considered.
A previous bone marrow transplant from an allogenic donor will interfere with testing. Call Mayo Medical Laboratories for instructions for testing patients who have received a bone marrow transplant.
Test results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings, family history, and other laboratory data. Errors in our interpretation of results may occur if information given is inaccurate or incomplete.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.

Aiken County Council got its first glimpse at a brand new County logo on Tuesday and is currently seeking public input about the proposed change. The new logo was designed by students in the Graphic Design Department at USC Aiken with direction from County staff and elected officials.
About 20 students in Professor Michael Fowler's class worked in groups to design the proposals, which were geared towards giving the County a new look to go along with the new opening of its new government center on University Parkway.
According to Assistant County Administrator Brian Sanders, the work was done for free with Fowler's students agreeing to design the logos as part of a class project.
The top two designs were picked to be presented to Council, which offered feedback to the students on Tuesday.
Both proposals were met with applause and gratitude from Council and staff.
"I just want to say great job and congratulations on all of your hard work," Councilman Chuck Smith said to the students.
Councilwoman Kathy Rawls said she found it interesting that each group used a clock tower in a different way.
"It's central to the designs," she said.
USCA students Adora Ewuzie and Kaitlyn Gingrey presented one logo proposal, while Lauren Rainwater, Robyn Rutland and Breanna Sizemore presented an alternative idea.
Rainwater, a freshman at USCA, said her group tried to find the right colors, images and font to symbolize the County.
"We wanted to usher in a new era with the clock tower, which also pays homage to the past since a clock tower is also on top of the court house," she said. "We also wanted the font choice to be professional, but still classy and appealing."
Fowler said the contest helped students to "get their feet wet" with design and provide real world experience working with a client.
County Administrator Clay Killian said the County will put the proposals on its website soon in order to receive public feedback.

Interest in historical fiction has never been higher with Eleanor Catton's 2013 Booker Prize for "The Luminaries" falling so closely on the heels of Hilary Mantel's wins in 2009 and 2012 for "Wolf Hall" and "Bring up the Bodies."
No longer derided as "bodice-rippers" with anachronisms or boring textbooks dressed up with poor plots, historical fiction is gaining the respect of critics and readers alike and regularly appears on bestseller lists around the world.
Definitions vary as to how far in the past the time setting must be to qualify, but Walter Scott, who is credited with "inventing" the historical novel in English during the early 19th century provides a useful criterion in the subtitle of "Waverley," his initial historical novel, the story of Scottish life at the time of the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745: "'Tis Sixty Years Since." So generally this limits it to events that take place at least 60 years before publication, during a historical period with which the author has no personal experience.
The historical novelist's challenge
Historical fiction is one of the more difficult and demanding narrative forms as the author must master both verifiability and invention. The historical novelist must balance the difficulties of representing history accurately and telling a good story while imaginatively filling in the gaps and lack of historical record.
Take too much latitude with the facts of history and the illusion of authenticity is shattered; take too little and the information of history never comes to life.
The value of historical fiction authors in no way detracts from the work of historians. Though one deals with the verifiable and the other with the imagined, both play important roles in bringing the past back to life.
Yes, the historical novelist trades mainly in entertainment over instruction, but it would be wise to consider Ezra Pound's famous definition of literature: "Literature is news that stays news."
Bernard Cornwell is an outstanding example of a historical fiction writer with his Sharpe series set in 19th-century Europe and India; the Starbuck Chronicles set during the American Civil War; the Grail Quest novels set in mid-14th century England/Normandy; the Warlord Chronicles set in Arthurian Britain, and the Saxon series that I am currently reading set in the pre-England of Alfred the Great. "The Pagan Lord," the seventh one in that series, has recently been on the New York Times and other best seller lists.
Other outstanding historical fiction novels are listed below. For more information check out our electronic resource "Books & Authors," where you will find title suggestions in over 100 subgenres of historical fiction, from child-in-peril and family saga to military, political, and religious.

- Foundations of continuous-time recursive utility : differentiability and normalization of certainty equivalents (2009)
- This paper relates recursive utility in continuous time to its discrete-time origins and provides a rigorous and intuitive alternative to a heuristic approach presented in [Duffie, Epstein 1992], who formally define recursive utility in continuous time via backward stochastic differential equations (stochastic differential utility). Furthermore, we show that the notion of Gâteaux differentiability of certainty equivalents used in their paper has to be replaced by a different concept. Our approach allows us to address the important issue of normalization of aggregators in non-Brownian settings. We show that normalization is always feasible if the certainty equivalent of the aggregator is of expected utility type. Conversely, we prove that in general L´evy frameworks this is essentially also necessary, i.e. aggregators that are not of expected utility type cannot be normalized in general. Besides, for these settings we clarify the relationship of our approach to stochastic differential utility and, finally, establish dynamic programming results. JEL Classifications: D81, D91, C61

HOUSTON - Retail gasoline prices across Texas have dropped an average 6 cents this week in a slide that began two months ago.
AAA Texas on Thursday reported the average price per gallon has settled at $3.38. Gasoline prices nationally also fell 6 cents to reach at average $3.56 per gallon.
AAA says it's the eighth week in a row for declining retail gasoline prices in Texas, where a year ago the cost was $3.59 per gallon.
Amarillo has the least expensive gasoline this week, at $3.31 per gallon. AAA says motorists in El Paso are paying the highest average cost, at $3.57 per gallon.
The association says the decline in gasoline prices continues as global crude oil prices drop in response to economic concerns overseas.

Gallery: Do you remember? -- Sept. 5, 2011
Founded in 1934, Polan Industries employed more than 2,000 people during World War II.
July 28, 2011 -- Bob Hope's 1965 visit
May 9, 2011 -- Huntington State Hospital fire on Nov. 26, 1952
1984 Marshall vs. ETSU, welcome home rallyJan. 31, 2011
The company, which had a few divisions, specialized in the manufacturing of lenses and specialized gun sights used by the military; remanufacture, rehabilitation and packing of defense equipment and making cargo kits for packaging military hardware.
"Mr. Polan was a clever man, as well as his sons and grandsons," said Richard McCoy of Huntington. "The City of Huntington was just the climate where they could thrive. Mr. Polan saw opportunity in the failure of a glass canning jar manufacturing facility in West Huntington. He converted it to making optical quality glass. He produced optical glass of a type and quality, that previously had been imported from Germany.
"When World War II started, the demand for such glass skyrocketed to make military optics; range finders for artillery, binoculars, tank sights, the supplies of the correct glass from Germany were cut off, and Polan (Zenith Optical in those days) had the domestic supply.
"The Secretary of War (before the Defense Department) soon knew Zenith Optical and the Polans' name, very well and Zenith had whatever it took to meet the wartime demand.
"My father worked at Zenith briefly and related to me the extent of resourses provided Zenith during that period. If some optical expert was required to answer a technical point, the Army picked him up, anywhere in the U.S. and flew him to Huntington, right now.
"This set the stage for Zenith, then Polan Industries, Korean War and Cold war optical production, shown in your photo collection.
"My second visit, the job interview, to Polan Industries in 1962 was also very revealing. With a constant stream of Defense contracts and the 'can do' spirit of the Polans, they were, by then, producing in addition to the basic military optics of the 1940s and 1950s, very sophisticated optical devices employing materials, electronic and mechanical systems.
"Polan was in need of a person to continue development of the electronics for a night-vision monocular. Their part-time employee, a Marshall student and a physics major, had been working on the electronics. But he was graduating and had an ROTC obligation to fulfill.
Polan approached Dr. Donald Martin, chairman of the Physics Department at Marshall, about a student to replace the part-time employee.
"Dr. Martin was my optics and electronics teacher and recommended me. I went for the interview.
I am sorry that I can't think of the student's name, but he conducted part of the interview and briefed me on his tasks.
"My optics and electronics classes had been complete, I understood the device completely, and I could draw you the circuitry and optics to this day.
"While there, Dr. Lake Polan, one of the brothers, took me around, introduced me to others and showed me other things they were making for the Defense Department.
"One in particular being a dome shaped lens some 6 inches in diameter. It was made of silicon and opaque to normal light, but passed the infra-red (heat). It was to be mounted in the nose of heat-seeking missles and once the missle was lanched the optics, electronic and guidance mechanism would send the missle up the exhaust pipe of a plane or tank or into a 'hottest' object.
"I was offered the job, but I had made plans to work elsewhere during the following summer months. With my senior years coming up, I knew that I would not have time for part-time work.
So, I declined Polan's offer.
"But, I never forgot the interview and tour. (How many times these day does one get beyond the HR Office in applying for a job ?)"

Surrattsville High School's football team drove inside the Fort Hill 20-yard line on their first three possessions in Friday night's Class 1A state semifinal game, but came away with zero points.
That was bad, and it soon got much worse.
The Sentinels scored touchdowns on five straight first-half possessions and routed the Hornets 42-0 in the cold mountain air at Greenway Avenue Stadium in Cumberlaned. Fort Hill advances to the Maryland 1A state championship game Dec. 7 at M&T Bank Stadium against either Cambridge-South Dorchester or Frederick Douglass (Baltimore). Those two schools play at 1 p.m. Saturday at Baltimore Poly High school.
The Hornets, however, can only reflect on a historic season.
"You did something great this year," coach Robert Harris II told his team after they ended a 10-3 season that included the school's first trip to the state semifinals.
Their chance to get to the finals died in a mistake-filled first half under the lights against a deep Fort Hill offense that gained 349 yards on the ground. The Sentinels have outscored three playoff opponents 137-13.
"We made a lot of mistakes early," Harris said. "We were in the red zone twice and got no points. I think that's what changed the ballgame. My hat's off to Fort Hill. They're a disciplined team and a strong team."
The Hornets lost two fumbles, allowed an onside kick recovery, had a pass intercepted, and committed seven penalties in the first 24 minutes.
Three minutes in however, they were poised to take the lead after driving from their 38 to inside the Sentinels' 10 thanks in part to Robert Harris III completions of 26 and 16 yards to Ryan Wilcox.
"They didn't really match up well with our passing game, and we could get some things because they weren't really sure if we were going to pass or run," coach Harris said of the offense's early success moving the ball.
However, on first and goal, running back Amaru Major and quarterback Harris didn't connect cleanly on the exchange and Fort Hill recovered the fumble at the 4-yard line.
"A miscommunication," said Major, who finished with 128 yards on 19 carries, while Harris III completed 4-of-13 passes for 104 yards and one interception.
On their next drive, Surrattsville made it to Fort Hill's 19, but turned it over on downs after a fumble, sack, and incomplete pass. Fort Hill running back Ty Johnson opened the scoring five plays later when he went 59 yards up the middle for a touchdown.
Again the Hornets got to the 19 before losing the ball on downs. This time, Johnson went 81 yards on Fort Hill's first play and it was 14-0.
Thanks to a fumbled kick return, DeKarai Karr's 11-yard dash made it 21-0 early in the second quarter as the Sentinels scored touchdowns on three consecutive plays from scrimmage over a span of 2 minutes and 32 seconds.
"They started gashing us on the backside," coach Harris said. "A lot of their cut-back lanes opened up because we were getting too far up the field on defense. We gave them opportunities and they took advantage and we knew they would."
Major noted, "We were too anxious to get to the ball. Instead of waiting patiently, we were very quick to react."
To make matters worse, Fort Hill then kicked off from the Surrattsville 45 thanks to a penalty. They recovered the onside kick and soon led 28-0, scoring three touchdowns without the Hornets running a play from scrimmage.
The Sentinels added another score before the halftime and the second half was played with running time.
After addressing his players on the field, many of whom will be back next year, Harris II talked about his team.
"It was just something special about this group and it showed in their performance this year." he said.
"Great year, lot of young kids. Only losing eight seniors. A lot of things we can look forward to in the future."
