Virginia Woolf, original name in full Adeline Virginia Stephen (born January 25, 1882, London, England—died March 28, 1941, near Rodmell, Sussex), English writer whose novels, through their nonlinear approaches to narrative, exerted a major influence on the genre.
While she is best known for her novels, especially Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and To the Lighthouse (1927), Woolf also wrote pioneering essays on artistic theory, literary history, women's writing, and the politics of power. A fine stylist, she experimented with several forms of biographical writing, composed painterly short fictions, and sent to her friends and family a lifetime of brilliant letters.
Early life and influences
Born Virginia Stephen, she was the child of ideal Victorian parents. Her father, Leslie Stephen, was an eminent literary figure and the first editor (1882–91) of the Dictionary of National Biography. Her mother, Julia Jackson, possessed great beauty and a reputation for saintly self-sacrifice; she also had prominent social and artistic connections, which included Julia Margaret Cameron, her aunt and one of the greatest portrait photographers of the 19th century. Both Julia Jackson's first husband, Herbert Duckworth, and Leslie's first wife, a daughter of the novelist William Makepeace Thackeray, had died unexpectedly, leaving her three children and him one. Julia Jackson Duckworth and Leslie Stephen married in 1878, and four children followed: Vanessa (born 1879), Thoby (born 1880), Virginia (born 1882), and Adrian (born 1883). While these four children banded together against their older half siblings, loyalties shifted among them. Virginia was jealous of Adrian for being their mother's favourite. At age nine, she was the genius behind a family newspaper, the Hyde Park Gate News, that often teased Vanessa and Adrian. Vanessa mothered the others, especially Virginia, but the dynamic between need (Virginia's) and aloofness (Vanessa's) sometimes expressed itself as rivalry between Virginia's art of writing and Vanessa's of painting.
The Stephen family made summer migrations from their London town house near Kensington Gardens to the rather disheveled Talland House on the rugged Cornwall coast. That annual relocation structured Virginia's childhood world in terms of opposites: city and country, winter and summer, repression and freedom, fragmentation and wholeness. Her neatly divided, predictable world ended, however, when her mother died in 1895 at age 49. Virginia, at 13, ceased writing amusing accounts of family news. Almost a year passed before she wrote a cheerful letter to her brother Thoby. She was just emerging from depression when, in 1897, her half sister Stella Duckworth died at age 28, an event Virginia noted in her diary as "impossible to write of." Then in 1904, after her father died, Virginia had a nervous breakdown.
While Virginia was recovering, Vanessa supervised the Stephen children's move to the bohemian Bloomsbury section of London. There the siblings lived independent of their Duckworth half brothers, free to pursue studies, to paint or write, and to entertain. Leonard Woolf dined with them in November 1904, just before sailing to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) to become a colonial administrator. Soon the Stephens hosted weekly gatherings of radical young people, including Clive Bell, Lytton Strachey, and John Maynard Keynes, all later to achieve fame as, respectively, an art critic, a biographer, and an economist. Then, after a family excursion to Greece in 1906, Thoby died of typhoid fever. He was 26. Virginia grieved but did not slip into depression. She overcame the loss of Thoby and the "loss" of Vanessa, who became engaged to Bell just after Thoby's death, through writing. Vanessa's marriage (and perhaps Thoby's absence) helped transform conversation at the avant-garde gatherings of what came to be known as the Bloomsbury group into irreverent, sometimes bawdy repartee that inspired Virginia to exercise her wit publicly, even while privately she was writing her poignant "
Reminiscences"—about her childhood and her lost mother—which was published in 1908. Viewing Italian art that summer, she committed herself to creating in language "some kind of whole made of shivering fragments," to capturing "the flight of the mind."

Sanchez dominates on mound as King baseball shuts out S.A. Southwest
Spot starter flirts with no-hitter in Mustangs' 4-0 victory
CORPUS CHRISTI - Justin Sanchez provided a little sneak preview in the first inning of what was in store for San Antonio Southwest on Thursday night.
Three up, three down. Strikeout swinging. Strikeout swinging. Strikeout swinging. The King pitcher was on a tear.
As the Mustangs needed to stop a two-game slide in District 28-5A, Sanchez filled the role of stopper admirably. The pitcher just need a little bit of offensive support as he checked the Dragons to one hit while striking out 12 during a 4-0 victory at Cabaniss Field.
"From warming up in the bullpen, I could feel the team's attitude about coming out," Sanchez said. "I just felt good. I just tried to throw strikes at the beginning, try to hit them hard."
Sanchez said his mind wasn't on the no-hit bid but on getting the victory. That train of thought paid off considering King (12-9-1, 2-2) had dropped consecutive district games to Carroll and South San. The victory pushes the Mustangs into a tie with Carroll for third place in the district.
Sanchez (3-1) had four 1-2-3 innings and struck out at least one batter in every inning. Of his 102 pitches, 73 were strikes. Only a single by Chipper Lamm with one out in the fourth inning kept the pitcher from a no-hitter.
It was a significant outing for Sanchez, who has been primarily a reliever and spot starter this season for King.
"We like having him at shortstop, but we have three games in five days and needed another starter," Mustangs coach Gabriel Perez said. "He did his job. He threw strikes and gave us a chance on defense, not falling behind, not making our defense lax."
Southwest (9-11, 1-3) had only four runners reach base. One boarded on an error in the third inning, another on a walk in the seventh and a final one on a fielder's choice and an error in the last inning.
With Sanchez cruising, all that really was needed was some offensive support, as King struggled getting runners home early in the game.
The Mustangs could not take advantage of scoring opportunities early, having a runner tagged out at home in the third inning on a ball that got a little bit away from the catcher and a runner thrown out the next inning trying to go from first base to third on a single to right.
But King finally broke through after leaving two runners in scoring position through the opening three innings.
After Roland Hyatt's single — the one in which the runner was cut down at third — Matt Morin doubled and Justin Noyola walked. That brought up Dominique Lane, who was given a second chance after Southwest's right-fielder dropped a fly ball in foul territory.
Lane then drove a full-count pitch up the middle for a two-run single and a 2-0 Mustangs lead.
The following inning, Todd Wilkinson slammed a two-run double to bring home Jonathan Contreras and Eric Perez and extend King's lead to 4-0.
That gave a little extra breathing room for Sanchez, who really didn't need much. He set down nine in a row at one point, stretching from the fourth inning through the seventh.
Southwest 000 000 0 — 0 1 1
King 000 220 x — 4 8 2
W — Justin Sanchez (3-1). L — John Eric Cortez (4-3). 2B — K: Matt Morin; Todd Wilkinson. Highlights — K: Sanchez 2-2, SB; Dominique Lane 1-2, 2 RBIs; Wilkinson 1-2, 2 RBIs; Morin 2-3, R; Roland Hyatt 1-3, R; Jonathan Contreras 1-3, R; Eric Perez, R.

Did you get the runs? How did you feel? My Mom had to cut back to a tiny amount per dose but feels good on that (better than not taking it), of course everyone is different.

When I took the Natural Calm it caused pain and a general feeling of not feeling well. I have the opposite of most Celiacs, I was always constipated, but since going on this diet a year ago I am no longer having that problem.

Hmmm , I'm the constipated type too and it helped me so much, my Mom always had the runs and had the problem with not being able to take much at a time. The only thing I can say is that it is not ionic like the Trace Minerals Ionic Magnesium and then is not as absorbable, infact when a supplement is not from a source that would normally be consumed by humans it takes body energy to convert it (if it even can) to a usable form. So, you could be unusually sensative to that or you don't need magnesium or it is causing that reaction because of combination with the meds...
Here is a list of magnesium rich foods, maybe that is the way to go for many:

When I wrote that first post, I had been unemployed for quite some time. I was dreading having to work because of all my anxiety and recurrent bowel problems. In fact, the thought of starting a job made me incredibly nervous. But I knew I needed to find a job because there was no guarantee that I would get better anytime soon.
Anyway, I just started a new job two weeks ago. My first week was really hard--I was constantly worried about having gas or the runs, and did have them pretty often. I was so sick that I thought I was going to have to quit for sure. Then I started reading this message board a little more intensively, and noticed that several people were recommending probiotics. Since my work is right across from a Whole Foods Market, on my lunch break one day I went over and browsed their supplement section. I can't remember the brand name of what I bought, but it's called Sensitive Colon Support. It combines probiotics with some other natural ingredients that are supposed to soothe irritated bowels. I took it that night, and felt so great the next day--better than I have since my symptoms started years ago. It's now been four days since I started that supplement, and I haven't had any issues at work, and I'm feeling really good. Amazingly, not only have my bowel problems significantly improved, but my anxiety has been reduced greatly--I guess the two problems are pretty intertwined. I'm starting to feel like a normal person again, and it's such a great feeling!

I've read everyone's messages and must add that my husband has been dealing with celiac unbeknownst to him for 28 years or so. Over those years he eliminated the wrong foods from his diet which he thought were giving him indigestion and gas. He eliminated fruits, vegetables, spices, fried foods and tomatoes. He had bathroom problems to the point that I would laugh and call the bathroom his office. He developed depression and social anxiety too. This was to the point of not wanting to go to other people's homes and social functions (he didn't mind walking around the Mall as long as he did his bathroom stuff BEFORE we left the house. He would go to restaurants for pancakes and dinner. He developed an avoidance of public restrooms - more anxiety. We never traveled except to Malls and certain relatives for a hour or two and to the sea shore for a week, as long as we took an efficiency motel room so he could make his own gluteny breakfast - remember he didn't know he was celiac until about 5 mos ago). He became a hermit so to speak. He would be excused from jury duty (due to bathroom problems) and we always declined wedding/party invitations because we never knew what they were serving, etc. It was more trouble to go than to have him eat before going just to watch everyone eating food he couldn't have - and this wasn't even a gluten free diet. So the gluten free diet has made going places even more difficult. The celiac disease diet has made his social anxiety even worse, if that could be possible, but it is.

Husband misdiagnosed for 27 yrs -
The misdiagnosis was: IBS or colitis
Mis-diagnosed from 1977 to 2003 by various gastros including one of the largest,
most prestigious medical groups in northern NJ which constantly advertises themselves as
being the "best." This GI told him it was "all in his head."
Serious Depressive state ensued
Finally Diagnosed with celiac disease in 2003
Other food sensitivities: almost all fruits, vegetables, spices, eggs, nuts, yeast, fried foods, roughage, soy.
Needs to gain back at least 25 lbs. of the 40 lbs pounds he lost - lost a great amout of body fat and muscle
Developed neuropathy in 2005
Now has lymphadema 2006It is my opinion that his subsequent disorders could have been avoided had he been diagnosed sooner by any of the dozen or so doctors he saw between 1977 to 2003

I'm sorry to hear about your husband's troubles. Is the gluten-free diet making him feel any better physically? I know that I still had a lot of bowel troubles even after going gluten-free, and my social anxiety didn't get any better either.
After reading a lot of the posts on this board, I wonder if the anxiety is a product of two things: having bathroom issues already, and also being nutritionally out of balance. If your husband has cut out a lot of fruits and vegetables, he's probably not getting the balance of vitamins and minerals he needs. I never thought that food could affect your mood, but now I'm realizing that diet affects your health in just about every way--including your mental state.
I'm not a doctor, but I would suggest that maybe he get tested for any deficiencies. I've tried to up my magnesium intake after reading the posts on this message, and that could be part of why I feel better, in addition to the probiotics. (The probiotics, by the way, are helping somewhat, but my first post in response to the supplement was maybe a little optimistic--I don't feel 100% better, but I do feel at least 50% better). It's certainly better than nothing.
Good luck, and I hope he feels better soon.

I tried that yesterday when I picked the prescription up, and my pharmacist was less than helpful. He couldn't find the phone number and then told me to just call Glaxo myself. The person I talked to at Glaxo this morning was a pharmacist, but still couldn't give me a straight answer. I guess besides figuring out whether or not this drug is safe, I also need to find a more knowledgable pharmacist. UGH!!

I'm glad to hear that constipation is a sign of celiac, I was beging to think my doctor was wrong in diagnosing me because everthing I've read on this site for the past 3 weeks was about people having severe diarrhea & like you I can't go.
If any body has any helpful list of what I can & can't eat I'd appreciate it, I'm only 3 weeks into this & still don't have much of a clue.

2nd Floor, Campus Center
- Student Org Fundraising FAQs
Chartered student organizations may wish to raise money for their group or for a particular project. Organizations seeking information on appropriate projects may contact a staff member in Campus Programs to identify appropriate projects (based on viability and consistency with the mission of the College). On-campus fundraising includes the sale of goods or services to members of the Macalester College community. Off-campus fundraising includes the solicitation of individuals or businesses outside the campus community for resources.
All student organization fundraising projects must be approved by the Associate Director for Campus Programs or his/her designee.
The approval process includes:
1) completion of a Student Organization Fundraising Proposal Form
2) a meeting with a Campus Programs staff person to review plans associated with the fundraising project, as there may be specific campus policies and state and local laws that must be considered.
Do I need permission to raise funds?
Yes!! In any selling of advertising or soliciting gifts/prizes (both cash and in-kind), students and student organizations must receive prior approval from the Associate Director of Campus Programs.
How far in advance do I need to get permission to fundraise?
As soon as possible. Meet with the Associate Director of Campus Programs to discuss your fundraising ideas. This meeting will help to prepare you with a timeline for reservations, publicity and execution. You will need to do this AT LEAST 14 calendar days in advance of your proposed fundraising event.
Are there limitations for what you can spend the funds on?
Yes! All fundraising activities should be for the benefit of the chartered student organization and be correlated with its chartered purpose and campus life.
Where on campus can I promote my fundraiser?
Fundraisers and solicitations may only occur in the lower level of the Ruth Stricker Dayton Campus Center or on the Bateman Plaza outside of the Campus Center. A table in the lower level or the Plaza of the Campus Center must be reserved for the sale. Only one sale may occur during any given day. Student organizations may reserve all tables available for a sale for no more than two consecutive days. If the event or solicitation requires a different space, exceptions may be granted by the Director of the Campus Center.
Is there any type of fundraiser that is not allowed?
Funds raised may not be used for personal gain. Failure to report income and date of deposit may result in a suspension of fundraising privileges for the sponsoring organization and further disciplinary action.
No alcoholic beverages may be served, possessed, or consumed at any fundraising activity.
Can we use the funds for future years?
All money raised shall be expended within the academic and fiscal year it is received.
Can I fundraise for a non-profit agency?
Chartered student organizations may work with non-profit organizations regarding fundraising. However, Macalester facilities and resources are not to be used in a manner that provides free services to off-campus organizations for the purposes of generating resources. Student organizations should be the primary beneficiary of fund raising initiatives when utilizing Macalester College resources, though exceptions can be made for philanthropic events that align with the mission/purpose of the sponsoring organization.
In addition:
The organization must be able to accept fees in U.S. Dollars, via check, credit card, or wire transfer.
The organization is able to provide proof of their status as a Non-Profit Organization AND the college has received a copy of their W-9 form
Can I fundraise from alumni?
No. Information found in the Macalester College Alumni Directory (MacDirect) is solely for official College and Alumni Association use and for personal communication between members listed therein. Any other use of this information is prohibited.
Do I have to report the amount of money raised?
Yes. As student organizations are responsible all aspects of their fundraising event(s), the name of the student organization should be clearly posted in the area of the sale. Students are responsible for monitoring the sales. Upon completion of the sale or fundraiser, a final sales record must be reported to Campus Life Office. All money must be deposited in the student organization's college account and used for items distinctly related to the organization's purpose.
What is appropriate to charge other students for?
Generally most programming and events provided for students on campus must be free of charge. There may be opportunities to host a program with a 'suggested donation', but it must be pre-approved by the Associate Director of Campus Programs.
Can I fundraise with outside vendors/organizations?
Yes. However, a contract must be negotiated when collaborating with an off-campus vendor to conduct fundraising initiatives. The Campus Programs staff can assist student organizations with this process. Additionally, the outside vendor must have a valid Minnesota sales tax license and be responsible for submitting sales taxes to the State of Minnesota. The name of the organization and contact information must be displayed on all advertising connected to the fundraising activity. Vendors working with student organizations must provide a minimum of $50.00 per collaboration or designated contractual percentage of sales if result is greater than the required minimum.
A student organization can sponsor up to two vendors in any given semester. Off-campus vendors may appear on our campus no more than once per academic term. The term of any sale with an off campus vendor is two days maximum. If merchandise is advertised as "authentic," a Certificate of Authenticity is required as proof.
Can I reach out to local businesses for donations?
In an effort to both assist and regulate student organizations seeking to solicit gifts from alumni, parents, local businesses, corporations or foundations, the following requirements have been established:
1) When your group decides to raise funds or other donations from off-campus individuals you must contact the Associate Director for Campus Programs prior to beginning the initiative. The student organization Fundraising Approval Form must be completed a minimum of 14 calendar days prior to conducting the solicitation along with information regarding the purpose, goals, and targeted groups. The approval must be granted prior to the start of any solicitation. Student Orgs that wish to receive monetary donations or products from corporate sponsors will need additional approval from the Development Office.
2) In the event that solicitations are made off campus, potential donors must be informed of the following:
a) Gifts to this cause are not recognized as charitable contributions to Macalester College
b) Names and contact information of those being solicited were not provided to the student organization by Macalester College.

Mike, the world doesn't operate in a hypothetical way. If I cared enough to aggressively attack a man for doing something this heinous to my son; my son probably wouldn't have been involved in the Second Mile programs to begin with; hypothetically speaking.
Not defending anyone involved in this mess; they should all be immediately terminated with NO pensions or benefits; but lets live in reality.
Dial 911 from campus and you will get the Penn State Police, dial 911 from Mr. Paterno's home and you'll get the State College Police who would have refered the report to the Penn State Police since the alleged incident took place on the University Park Campus where the Penn State Police are the legally recognized fully accredited Law Enforcement Agency with any investigation requiring the complaint be filed by the individual who witnessed it; McQueary.
Some simple legal items are just too much for some to comprehend.
It's time for some outside blood and new ideas, that includes the Board of Trustees. As for Mr. Short, I don't know that many of the people Penn State is being marketed to remember or even know who he was. The lettermen's club members brought much notice to the University however they are a small minority of the stakeholders in this decision. The Joe Paterno era is over and it is time to move on; with or without the lettermen.
if they appeared before the grand jury, their stories are already on the record and "locked" in. I'm not surprised at the waiver.
I've read the presentment released by the AG's office. I would like to read the actual transcript and it would be very interesting to see the witnesses cross examined in open court; including Sandusky. All we've seen so far is theatrics, it's time to settle down and watch the full performance.
Find a school where there is an athletic department and does not have an athletic staff that wants to have a say in what happens to its athletes. She further said Paterno's intent had no influence on any outcomes so evidently Joe wasn't running the university at that time.
Voters in Pennsylvania also elected Corbett; how inteligent can they be?
Why did Corbett as Attoney General wait so long to initiate an investigation at his level? He spent enough time in State College to know of the rumors and yeat did NOTHING till it wouldn't come out till after the election for Governor. Politics as usual in Pennsylvania
Tell them to feel free to search for a new job if they can't make it where they are. That what we in the real world have to do

TPG's fibre-to-the-building network has reached 352 buildings in a year since first launching the service, according to data from Whirlpool cited by the Department of Communications.
Telstra is rolling out its hybrid fibre-coaxial network into new buildings to connect more customers, despite the network's pending sale to NBN.
Australia's opposition party has proposed formally adopting a two-stage rollout of the National Broadband Network with fibre to the premises returning should Labor be elected to federal government.
Negotiations loom between network operator Chorus and New Zealand government company Crown Fibre Holdings over the future of a stranded fibre connection fund.
NBN Co board member and Internode co-founder Simon Hackett has said that his first choice for Australia's National Broadband Network would have been 100 percent fibre.
Sydney telco AusBBS is claiming to be the first in the Australian market to offer customers new retail fibre-to-the-basement network products supplied wholesale by TPG's subsidiary AAPT.
The approximately 20,000 premises on Telstra's fibre network in South Brisbane could soon be on the NBN, with the two companies set to recommence negotiations in the first quarter of 2015.
Formerly just for the oil and gas industry, Tampnet is now hoping to tempt companies with a need for high performance onto its undersea fibre network.
Using DOCSIS 3.1, Comcast has announced plans to offer 1 gigabit per second download speeds over the hybrid fibre-coaxial network in 2015.
Telstra will hand over ownership of its copper and hybrid fibre-coaxial networks to NBN Co for the multi-technology mix network under a new deal signed on Sunday.
Optus has announced the availability of a new data cable broadband bundle for customers that are being serviced by its hybrid fibre-coaxial cable network.
Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull has said that NBN Co will soon release an audited historical cost per premises passed for the fibre-to-the-home network to show the actual cost of the network rollout up until the multi-technology mix switch.
The G20 network needed fibre services with more than 15Mbps download speeds to keep delegates, media, and volunteers happy, according to the Australian Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet.
Commonwealth Bank's CIO David Whiteing has warned that there are a number of security risks associated with migrating ATM and Eftpos banking services from Telstra's network to the NBN fibre.
New Zealand's fibre to the premises and building rollout has beat its June target for premises passed by the fibre network.
In her memoir, former prime minister Julia Gillard has said while the fibre to the premises National Broadband Network had implementation issues, the ultimate goal of the project was "absolutely right".
NBN Co is working to reduce the backlog of premises unable to order a service on the fibre network, with a new contract signed with Universal Communications Group.
Vodafone and NBN Co have been quietly testing out using NBN Co's fibre as backhaul for Vodafone's mobile network.
New Zealand network operator posts a flat result, but a regulated reduction in the prices it can charge for copper broadband services looms in December.
Independent MP for Denison, Andrew Wilkie, has shed light on some of the issues plaguing the rollout of the fibre to the premises network in Tasmania by construction contractor Visionstream, and the steps NBN Co has implemented to fix it.

Interpretive Handbook
87924 :
MAPT Gene, Sequence Analysis, 7 Exon Screening Panel
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Frontotemporal dementia is a familial adult-onset, presenile dementia that affects the frontal and temporal cerebral cortices. Clinical presentation is variable and includes changes in behavior, difficulties with language, rigidity, palsy, and saccadic (rapid) eye movement. Symptoms generally begin between 40 and 60 years of age, with mean age of onset at approximately 45 years, and typically last between 5 and 10 years, progressing to severe dementia and mutism. The presentation of frontotemporal dementia may be confused with other dementias, including Alzheimer disease. It is important to distinguish between these different dementias because progression and patient management are different for the various dementias.
Based on the immunohistochemical staining, there are 2 main subtypes of frontotemporal lobular degeneration (FTLD): tau-positive FTLD and tau-negative FTLD with ubiquitin-positive inclusions (FTLD-U). Mutations in the MAPT gene have been identified in patients with tau-positive FTLD; mutations in the progranulin gene (GRN) have been identified in patients with FTLD-U. Both MAPT and GRN are located on chromosome 17q21.
The MAPT gene encodes the microtubule-associated tau protein. A number of mutations have been identified in the MAPT gene that result in aggregation of the tau protein. Although there is variable expression of disease presentation and severity within and between families, the hallmark neurologic lesion constitutes tau-positive protein inclusion bodies. Most clinically significant mutations are found in exons 9 through 13. Several intronic mutations, associated with alternative splicing of the mRNA, contribute to the variability of expression of the disease traits. Mutations in the MAPT gene have also been identified in cases of progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, and dementia with epilepsy.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Aiding in the diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, and dementia with epilepsy
Distinguishing the diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia from other dementias, including Alzheimer dementia
Identifying individuals who are at risk of frontotemporal dementia
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
Some individuals who are carriers or have a diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia may have a mutation that is not identified by this method (eg, mutations in other exons, promoter mutations). Mutations in other genes have also been implicated in frontotemporal dementia. Abnormalities in other genes are not detected by this assay. The absence of a mutation(s), therefore, does not eliminate the possibility of positive carrier status or the diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia. For carrier testing, it is important to first document the presence of a MAPT 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 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.

- Junior Megan Lynch (Mendham, N.J.) recorded a double-double in three of the four matches last week. She now has 32 career double-doubles. Lynch has 895 career kills which are already third all-time in school history. She has led the Crusaders in kills in all six matches this season. Junior Elizabeth Watters (San Francisco, Calif.) has earned double-digit digs in all six matches this season. She leads the team with 97 digs and has 621 for her career.
- Holy Cross leads the Patriot League with 2.09 blocks per set and is second with 16.14 digs per set. Black is second in the league with a .385 hitting percentage, while senior Kathleen Colpoys (Scituate, Mass.) is third with a .343.

I bought this a few weeks ago at Ulta after running out of my Clarins night cream. It smells nice and definitely hydrates my dry skin. It doesn't feel oily or greasy. I would repurchase.

I really like this moisturizer!! Just tried it for the winter months where my face tends to get tight and dry feeling. I put it on at night and my face feels so smooth and supple in the morning....and very dewy looking. I personally love the smell, very earthy to me. It doesnt however help with fine lines and wrinkles, so I use with an anti aging cream as well for my neck and around my eyes. Overall I LOVE IT. Wish it came in a pump though, I don't like moisturizers in pots. :/ ....gets all up under my fingernails and doesn't seem sanitary to keep putting your fingers in there everyday. Other than that I like this as a night time cream!

Ok, this is a great cream! It's not for people with oily skin at all, it's specifically for dry skin. I have dry combination skin and my dry areas are so horrible in the winter, so I'm very picky with face moisturizers/lotions. If they're too thin/runny, they're usually not effective for really dry skin, and if they're too thick, they can have trouble sinking in and you end up with a thick greasy mask on your face that won't go away.
All that said, I'm pretty happy with this cream. I'd heard it was sticky, and it is somewhat SLIGHTLY sticky, but it's actually a nice, refreshing, hydrated matte/tacky feel, it's a lot like the burts bees chap sticks, they're made with bees wax and/or honey, and they leave your lips feeling moisturized but not greasy, but there's a sort of matte sticky texture that's due to the wax/honey and I love that about them! And this cream leaves that same matte/sticky feeling but it's a good thing trust me, it sinks in and dries quickly.
So it's not greasy, which is a HUGE plus, and it sinks in and soothes your skin right away, another HUGE plus.
It's good for using under your eyes (the thick formula actually helps keep it from running into your eyes!) and it's also ok to use this during the day, I do it all the time, but if I'm going to wear makeup over it I have to give it time to fully sink in (at least 10 mins) and I also can't put it on as heavy during the day as I would at night but it works!
Overall I will buy this again, but the price is too high IMO I paid $25-30 canadian, too much for a cream but I needed something that was really good quality and gentle for my sensitive skin, and this was a good find, it's not perfect but I'd say 8/10! I've taken away points for packaging ( I like the glass jar but a pump is more hygienic) and the high price, but the only downside to the actual product is that while I love it, it doesn't CURE dry skin, I have to use it every night or else my skin will be just as dry as ever ( I wasn't expecting to use it for a week and never have dry skin again, I know skin has to be constantly moisturized, but I'm just saying it's no cure!)

I always get really dry skin in the winter months, and usually my daily moisturizer (I use Pond's Dry Skin Cream) is enough to combat it. However, I've noticed that when I wake up in the morning my skin is almost painfully dry, tight, and flaky. I've never used a night cream before, so I had no idea what to look for in one. After looking through numerous reviews and getting suggestions from friends, I settled on this. The price is a little steep for me considering the small size (but then again I'm on the cheap side), but as soon as I used it for the first time I decided that the price was worth it. It felt heavy at first, almost like a sunscreen, but it fully soaked into my skin in about 5 minutes. I can't stop touching my face because of how soft it is! The scent is not overwhelming, and I actually kind of like it. I wish it was in a pump bottle like the Intense Hydration daily lotion is, but other than that, I have no complaints!

Yeah, my face feels tight right now. Other reviewers are correct when they say that it's like heavy sunscreen when you apply it. It doesn't sink into the skin. I thought I'd try this to replace my $60 Murad but I don't think that's going to happen. Update: now that I've had it on for a bit, it's not so bad, however, it feels like it's sitting on the top of my skin. I'll probably keep it and use it around my eyes.
The smell is fine. I thought I'd react because I have rosacea and I never know what's going to make me break out in redness. So far, so good. But I know the Murad won't react and it moisturizes nicely.

Meh. Just meh. It's kind of a drying lotion... odd, I used the entire line from Burt's Bee's for some time trying to get away from a few ingredients in other products I had been using prior. I don't find myself reaching for it often, but will use it at night after deep cleansing/scrubs now rather than a nightly lotion. Doesn't seem to do me any favours for the price. Oils have replaced my moisturizing needs.

I did not find this to be particularly moisturizing. I like the scent of this product, but I wonder if this product actually benefits skin in the long-term, because I do not see a set of ingredients that would really hydrate and protect skin. I think that the ingredients list is rife with junk and filler products, and I would not purchase this product.

I recently moved to Colorado with dry air, harsh a/c, and camp fires galore; so my skin has been suffering from some pretty serious moisture loss. I have tried countless high-end creams and nothing gave my skin the feel that I wanted. The texture of this product on my face is very interesting. It forms a very thin, silky smooth barrier on top of my skin, locking in the moisture and protecting my face from the harsh climate. It is some heavy duty stuff and I feel so pampered and rejuvenated when I put this on my face. I love the smell as well!

I don't understand how some reviewers below me are talking about chalk. This cream is so smooth and soft, hydrating and moisturizing in the same time without the greasiness of some night creams that are heavy and clogging. It's a really good product actually. I would purchase if I was on a whim and needed another night moisturizer.

Quite impressed with this. I have to admit that I'm a skincare product snob and the thought of applying drugstore brands to my face causes some anxiety, but while I was waiting for my usual moisturizer to ship to me I needed something to hold me over and picked this up. I'm happy I chose this because it works beautifully. Sinks right in and provides all the hydration I need. No greasiness, no shine, no breakouts. It works so well that I'm questioning whether I really need to spend the $80 I spend on my current moisturizer staple. I recommend trying this product to anyone with very dry sensitive skin.

Genesis. Are they a good band? I hear they were, a long time ago.
By orshick 10 Comments
Until Phil Collin took over, of course.
You know, I saw a bit of a performance video from them in their heyday, Bruce was all dressed up in some extravagant costume, as if he jumped out of some sort of expressionist play from the 1920's or something. He wasn't so much singing as doing a spoken word performance, in which he assumed the character of..."Europa" was it? It seemed kind of neat actually, more interesting than I could have expected from people saying they were alright, once. But that thing about me, where for some reason I can't seem to find it in me to become interested in a particular subject, until it has entered my life in a specific way, really kinda prevented me from perusing Genesis any further. One day I might, but it's been years since then, and frankly I'm not in the least confident that that day will eventually come.
Furthermore, again, although I haven't delved at all into Bruce Springsteen's solo era catalog, it certainly hasn't presented itself to me in the most appealing way possible, so, really, is there any reason for me to check out early Genesis?
I'll answer my own question for me: Yes, they could be fun, but no, unfortunately very few things in life are so important that they are of any consequence to one's development, so whatever benefit you may gleam from digging into the legacy of Genesis, you could probably equal by delving into something else, something that already has an apparent greater appeal to you.
Alright, I think this is enough for one day's blogging, especially considering I'm just doing this to see if I get the "Genesis" achievement on this little site here. Maybe one day I'll return to this blog, but until then,

Public Health Surveillance and Informatics Program Office
PHIN Partner Call
May 1, 2013
Century Center Building 2500, Conference Room 2222
The agenda for this meeting will be:
- 10 minutes – Announcements and Introductions (CDC)
- 40 minutes – Presentation: "The theory and application of a clinical electronic health record – public health information exchange "
- Presenter: Lawrence Hanrahan, PhD, MS, Research Director, Department of Family Medicine, School of Medicine and Public Health, and University of Wisconsin-Madison
- Topic Description: : This project is now known as the University of Wisconsin Electronic Health Record–Public Health Information Exchange (or UW eHealth–PHINEX). This presentation has three objectives: (1) to describe our theory of health information exchange, (2) how to dig deeper into the data and do something about it, and (3) to illustrate the system's capabilities, capacities, benefits, and lessons learned. PHINEX provides advanced, user friendly data analysis tools to mathematically represent the multiple determinants of health (ecological health systems model). Because this system's approach examines disease within their biological, psycho-socioeconomic, environmental, and community contexts, it is likely to provide a better understanding of what can be done to improve health care quality and population health. This presentation will look at diabetes as an example to show how PHINEX may provide improved population health surveillance, identify local hotspots, and serve as a platform to direct and measure interventions.

Bill Moseley is one of my favorite actors and he has been in just about everything you can think of.
He has been in television show such as "E.R." and "Unsolved Mysteries." Bill has also been in a ton of films such as "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2," "House of 1000 Corpses," "The Devils Rejects," and now "Texas Chainsaw 3D."
I met Bill a few years ago at Crypticon in Minneapolis and he is very friendly. For playing some of the most violent characters in movies, you would never believe he would be as nice as he is. He really enjoys talking with fans about all of the films and television shows he has been in.
I got the opportunity to talk to Bill on the phone about his role as "Drayton Sawyer" in "Texas Chainsaw 3D," which was the number 1 grossing movie at the box office this past opening weekend.
To listen to my interview with Bill just click on the play button on the video viewer above the story.
