Osmolality - urine
The osmolality urine test the concentration of particles in urine. Osmolality (particles/kg water) and osmolarity (particles/liter of solution) are sometimes confused, but for dilute fluids such as urine they are essentially the same.
A blood test may also be done to measure osmolality. See: Serum osmolality
How the Test is Performed
A "clean-catch" (midstream) urine sample is needed. For information on how to collect the sample, see clean catch urine culture.
How to Prepare for the Test
Your health care provider will tell you if you need to stop taking any drugs that may interfere with the test. Drugs that can increase specific gravity measurements include dextran and sucrose.
Receiving intravenous dye (contrast medium) for an x-ray exam up to 3 days before the test can also interfere with results.
Eat a normal, balanced diet for several days before the test.
How the Test Will Feel
The test involves normal urination, and there is no discomfort.
Why the Test is Performed
This test helps evaluate your body's water balance and urine concentration.
Osmolality is a more exact measurement of urine concentration than the urine specific gravity test.
Normal Results
Normal values are as follows:
- Random specimen: 50 to 1200 milliosmoles per kilogram (mOsm/kg)
- 12 to 14 hour fluid restriction: Greater than 850 mOsm/kg
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormal results are indicated as follows:
Greater-than-normal measurements may indicate:
- Addison's disease (rare)
- Congestive heart failure
- Dehydration
- Glycosuria
- Renal artery stenosis
- Shock
- Syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion
Lower-than-normal measurements may indicate:
- Aldosteronism (very rare)
- Diabetes insipidus (rare)
- Excess fluid intake
- Kidney failure
- Renal tubular necrosis
- Severe pyelonephritis
Additional conditions under which the test may be performed:
- Complicated UTI (pyelonephritis)
- High blood sodium level
- Low blood sodium level
- Excessive urination

Fiennes Modernizes Shakespeare's 'Coriolanus'
Fiennes takes the lead as a great but proud and flawed Roman general in the movie, which had its premiere Monday at the Berlin film festival.
He stars alongside Vanessa Redgrave, who plays his iron-willed mother, Volumnia and Gerard Butler, cast as Coriolanus' sworn enemy, Tullus Aufidius.
Fiennes said he had thought about making a film of "Coriolanus" - a tale of heroism, political manipulation, unrest and revenge - since appearing in the play on stage a decade ago. He gave some thought to setting the movie in ancient Rome or in the 19th century.
"(But) I kept on seeing images in the newspaper or television which seemed to come from this story," Fiennes told reporters - citing Russia's wars in Chechnya, riots in Athens and the latest global economic crisis.
The film starts with a food shortages riot in a city in crisis.
"I felt more and more convinced that the world around us was the right setting for the piece," he said.
Fiennes filmed the movie in Belgrade, with the Serbian parliament building serving as a modern-day Roman Senate. Coriolanus' unsuccessful run for a consulship, his banishment from Rome and his subsequent campaign against the city are covered partly as breaking-news television footage - complete with Shakespearean language.
The British actor said Baz Luhrmann's 1995 take on "Romeo and Juliet" helped convince him that a modern take on the bard's work could succeed.
"300" star Butler said dealing with "full-on Shakespeare" was a new experience for him.
"In a lot of ways, the words do all the talking," he said. "It's really a beautiful experience."
Fiennes may not be done with bringing Shakespeare to the screen; he says he could imagine taking on "Antony and Cleopatra."
"Not only is it an extraordinarily great love story, but it's written arguably quite cinematically," he said. "I can't help feeling (that), if Shakespeare was alive today, he would write very easily for the cinema."
"Coriolanus" is one of 16 films competing for the Berlin festival's top Golden Bear honor, which will be awarded on Saturday.

|Run training vs cross training: influence of increased training on running economy, foot impact shock and run performance.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 7649709 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The purpose of the study was to compare changes in running economy, foot impact shock, run performance, and resting heart rate and blood pressure elicited by increases in training volume via run training (RT) and cross training (CT). After 30 d of normal training (NT), male runners (N = 11) completed two 10 d periods of increased training each preceded by 14 d of reduced training (80% NT). Subjects ran 10 consecutive days in the afternoon (100% of NT) and performed 8 additional workouts in the morning (100% of NT). The morning sessions were performed on a cycle ergometer (CT) or a treadmill (RT). Running economy, foot impact shock and lactate were assessed during submaximal running (3.9 +/- 0.06 m.sec-1) at D0 and D11. Following the submaximal run, subjects completed a simulated 5 km race on a treadmill. VO2 during the running economy test was significantly higher at D11 of CT (52.5 +/- 1.5) compared to RT (51.1 +/- 1.4 ml.kg-1.min-1). RER, carbohydrate oxidation, and lactate were significantly lower; whereas, foot impact shock was significantly higher following both training modes. No significant changes in run performance, resting heart rate and blood pressure occurred during the study. In summary, 10 d of increased training resulted in a reduced running economy for CT, and a lower carbohydrate oxidation and an increase in foot impact shock for both training modes.

The 100 best dishes in London
See our selection of the finest food served at London restaurants and market stalls
Here it is, a countdown of the capital's most coveted plates. No more need to agonise over the menu; dive straight in as we reveal dishes to die for at London's best restaurants and street food markets stalls. The 100 best dishes 2014 picks out sophisticated signature dishes, indulgent desserts and sweet treats, finger-licking street food and restorative breakfasts. Our list also caters to the voracious appetites of meat eaters, seafood lovers and vegetarians alike, as well as celebrating 2014 food trends – from barbecue dishes to small plates and one-bowl wonders – and keeping it traditional with the best of British.
How we did it...
The top ten
Nowhere is better for eating out than London, so choosing the ten best dishes of the moment was pretty tough. But there was method to our madness. First, we wanted to reflect culinary trends – from Peruvian to Persian, fermentation to smoking, hot dogs to salt beef. Next, we wanted 'fresh' – either brand new creations or 'new to list' (that is, the top 100 list). And finally, we wanted dishes you could actually afford; they're either meals in themselves, or small plates you can get away with ordering on their own (well, with a drink), so you don't find yourself tied into a tasting menu that'll have you donning your marigolds at the end of the night.
The rest
As for the remaining 90, these are a mix of 'timeless classics', 'new to list' (but at an existing restaurant), or 'fresh as a daisy'. Eat, be merry, and eat some more. Then tick them off your list!

More 'Tale' to be told: Winter the dolphin, Nathan Gamble, left, and Cozi Zuehlsdorff return for 'Dolphin Tale 2.' Wilson Webb, Warner Bros. Pictures
- Filed Under
There are challenges to luring a movie star back to a film sequel - even dolphins, apparently. Director Charles Martin Smith found this out after 2011's Dolphin Tale proved to be a breakout vehicle for his aquatic star, Winter.
"Winter had some demands, she knows she's a star now," jokes Smith. "I did have to throw in some higher-quality herring. She wants it fresh."
No matter how much herring is required, it was worth it for Dolphin Tale 2 (out Sept. 19). ...

Indian Chai
Adina Organic Coffee
BevNET Review
Last Updated: 8/8/2007 5:19 PM
Adina's entry into the Chai market is a good one, with an authentic taste that's formulated using black tea from India. There's a subtle spice that's offset with a blend of milk and sugar, resulting in a mellow creamy flavor. Plus, the product drinks much more like a tea product than your typical syrupy chai. Packaging for this product is along the same lines as the RTD coffee products, which we think actually works better for the Chai variety. Simply put, the exotic art featured on the front of the label suits a chai product better than a coffee -- at least in the US market. Overall, a great product from Adina -- one of their best to date.

Mark Cuban still intrigued by the Dallas Stars
Mark Cuban continues to do exploratory work on the possibility of buying the Stars, who are co-tenants with the Mavericks at AAC.
But Cuban said it's going to take a collaboration with somebody – at least at this point – for him to make something happen.
"Nothing's changed," Cuban said before Friday's game. "I'll help anybody who gives me a better shot at the rest of the arena."
Asked if he would do it himself, he said he would not.
"I'm going to let someone else do the work," he said.
The Stars have been up for sale for months and it's possible Cuban is just biding his time until the price reaches a level that he deems palatable.

Free Comic Book Day Review: V-Wars #0
New York Times bestselling horror author Jonathan Maberry presents the chronicle of the first Vampire War in V-Wars! This all-new tale leading into this summer's ongoing V-Wars series offers the first salvo in the battle between humans and hundreds of new species of vampires!
The V-Wars ignited this past Wednesday, but IDW starts to show us the events that started it all in their Free Comic Book Day Issue of V-Wars #0. The story is written by Jonathan Maberry with art by Alan Robinson. Jay Fotos handles colors with Robbie Robbins tackling lettering. Issue #1 has been out for a few days now, but what does the zero issue have to offer?
The debut installment of V-Wars threw us right into the action and showed the opening salvo of the biggest war between humans and the various species of vampires to date. The zero issue serves as a prequel to the vampire outbreak and how human/vampire relations broke down. We get to see Dr. Luther Swann navigating some of the earliest battles between the humans and vampires as he narrates how things got as bad as they currently are.
Maberry relies heavily on narration as Dr. Swann (through the use of his journal entries) gives us a rundown on the world he now lives in and how he went from a guy that wrote books about mythology and vampires to the presidential advisor and special envoy with the V-8 strike force. The first issue just threw us in headfirst into the story, but the prequel offers up the explanations that were really needed for the debut issue. You should read the FCBD story before diving into issue #1 if you haven't already. Robinson's art does a valiant job of keeping things moving while volumes of information are being dumped over top of the skirmishes we're witnessing. There are various species of vampires, and Robinson makes each one unique. Some of them look really great, others look a little too weird. Those weird ones are few and far between, but some of the species look a little wilder than the others. Robinson's art is complimented greatly by Fotos' colors. There are a lot of gun battles, blood, and gore to be seen and Fotos brings it to life in a way that's not too over the top.
Bottom Line: V-Wars #0 is required reading if you're going to check out the main V-Wars series. It's an info dump of a book that fills in the gaps that needed to be filled with the first issue and gives you a better understanding of what's going on.

Chocolate-Filled Meringue Sandwich Cookies Recipe Coockery show
In a large mixing bowl, place 3 egg whites, Ľ teaspoon cream of tartar, 1 Ľ teaspoons vanilla extract, and a dash of salt. Beat on high speed with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add sugar, continually beating until stiff peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Spoon the mixture into a zip-lock plastic bag. Snip one bottom corner of the bag to make a hole that is 1-inch across. Pipe mixture into 1 Ľ-inch mounds onto a parchment paper-lined baking pan. Bake at 200 degrees (F) for 2 hours. Remove from oven and cool completely (about 30 minutes). When meringue mounds are cooled completely, place 4 ounces of milk chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler. Bring the water below to a boil and stir chocolate constantly until melted. Turn off heat. Spread a thin layer of melted milk chocolate onto half of the flat sides of the meringue mounds. Gently press flat sides of remaining half of meringue rounds onto chocolate-covered side of meringue mounds. Let stand until chocolate is set (about an hour). Place Chocolate-Filled Meringue Sandwich Cookies on a nice serving tray. These are a great treat for a party. With the Playoffs and Super Bowl games coming up, this is a sweet treat that you might like to serve. It is quick, easy, and impressive. It is wonderful for any get-together or just for a comfort snack at home. Enjoy!!!

Tremonton – The Utah Office of Tourism is out to prove that Northern Utah is full of excellent homegrown and homemade food. They did so last week with a multi-course dinner served to food producers and members of the media.
The Taste of Northern Utah Farm-to-Table Dinner took place Thursday at the Holmgren Historical Farm in Tremonton. It featured products by nine food producers from around Northern Utah, which were assembled into a multi-course meal by chefs from Salt Lake City restaurants Pago and Finca.
Scott Evans, owner of Pago and Finca, said his restaurants go to great lengths to use local foods because they are usually fresher and of higher quality, and the impact to the environment is lessened when food doesn't have to travel hundreds of miles. It can increase a sense of community and connect consumers and producers. "It makes food more meaningful when you know the people who grow it," he said.
The dinner featured foods from Parker Farms, Morgan Valley Lamb, Crumb Brothers, Pettingills, Gelarti, Keep it Real Vegetables, Sugarhouse Pork, Pago Farm and Butchers Bunches. Each course included descriptions by Evans or the chefs of where the ingredients were produced and how the foods were made.
The dinner also featured wines from Ruth Lewandowski Wines, a new winery in Salt Lake. The winery is run by Evan Lewandowski, a young winemaker who has studied winemaking throughout the world but dreamed of making all-natural wines in Utah. Within the past few years, Lewandowski started making wines locally using grapes grown out of state, but he plans to begin growing grapes in Utah in coming years.
The meal took place in a historic barn at the Holmgren Farm, which was built in the 1940s. The farm was originally homesteaded in the late 1800s and is now owned by the Zollinger family. The farm still grows some food, but now serves mostly as a venue for events such as weddings.
The Utah Office of Tourism is interested in promoting local food products because more and more travelers are seeking out local food as a way to experience the character of the places they visit. Tourism officials hope Utah's reputation as a food destination can grow and contribute to bringing people to the state.
LuAnn Adams, commissioner of the Utah Department of Agriculture, said her department strongly supports the movement in recent years toward local eating. The state's Utah's Own program exists specifically to promote Utah-made food and drink. "I'm on a mission to promote agriculture in the state of Utah," Adams said. "Every time you buy Utah's Own, you are helping your friends and neighbors."

There are plenty of images we associate with Michael Jordan's legendary career, one of which is No. 23 in the moments after clinching his first NBA title, cradling the Larry O'Brien NBA Championship Trophy while awash in tears. Those tears would be replaced by cigars and champagne by the time Michael won his third straight championship — and again when MJ and the Bulls claimed their second three-peat — and those celebratory details are the inspiration behind this Air Jordan VI Retro "Championship Pack." The "Cigar" pair is constructed with premium brown leather and complementary red and gold accents, while the "Champagne" colorway features a bottle green upper, translucent details and a glow in the dark outsole. The kicks launch through select Jordan Brand retailers like End Clothing in mid-June.

It's amazing how often we go on a walk in the outdoors without seeing anything.
I'm not talking big-ticket items like deer and wild turkeys. I mean the little things – from ferns to fungus, from chittering chipmunks to tiny birds that peck microscopic insects from tree bark.
One of my hunting buddies accuses me of "stopping to smell the poison ivy," but it's fun to stay in touch with your inner Thoreau.
It's especially interesting if you carry a camera and snap shots of some of the fascinating -- and generally overlooked – species of fauna and flora that you come across.
A good example is a photo I took back in the spring of a giant fungus that was growing on a log in the Radnor Lake Natural Area. It's unique and eye-catching, and makes an interesting addition to my outdoors photo file.
Some great local areas for nature-watching are Long Hunter State Park and Cedars of Lebanon State Park. Both have miles of hiking trails of varying degrees of difficulty, including some that are paved.
The Sellars Farm archaeological site located between Lebanon and Watertown is also excellent, with trails running alongside scenic Spring Creek.
Every time you venture into outdoors you're likely to come across something different, or learn something new about a familiar subject.
Take chipmunks, for example. We've all seen them scurrying around, but have you ever sat still and observed them for a period of time? When they're gathering nuts, berries and seeds, they store them in pouches in their cheeks, and the pouches have a holding capacity approximately the size of the chipmunk's head.
They eat some of the food items on the spot, but most of the stuff they store in their cheeks is taken back to the den – a hollow tree or hole in the ground – to be stored for later use. It's the chipmunk version of a saving's account.
That spider web that's stretched across a branch to catch flies and other insects is made of some of strongest fiber known to man, and the design of the web is an architectural marvel. Stop and study one sometime – every stand is carefully woven and specifically linked to support other strands in a way that adds tensile strength to the total trap. A spider web is nature's equivalent of the Golden Gate Bridge.
There is also the esthetics of a dew-dropped spider web sparkling and glittering at dawn. It's a meadowland Picasso.
Did you ever notice those odd, bulging growths on trees called "boles?" Pioneers used to saw them off, scoop them out, and make bowls and other wooden containers from them.
Old-timers also used to scout the woods for tree forks of the right shape and size to be made into yokes and other farm implements.
I don't know much about mushrooms – some are good to eat and some are poisonous, so to be on the safe side I just observe and don't pick. But it's fascinating to study their delicate intricacies, and to see how many different shapes, sizes and colors can be found in a given area.
And how did mushrooms become known as "toad stools?" I've never seen a toad sitting on one.
With autumn at hand, it's time to look for the first faint changing of the leaves – sassafras and black-gums are ready reddening – and to notice how birds are attracted to ripening seeds and berries. Squirrels love ripe dogwood berries, but examine one of the tiny gnawed berries see what a miniscule amount of food it contains. Evidently squirrels consider them a delicacy, and are willing to invest some time and patience for a satisfying reward.
Maybe we could learn from them.

Les, Carla, Roy, myself and another guy who's name slips my mind at this time offer our opinions, trying to do it weekly. Sometimes it's easy while other times it's hard to find an interesting topic. I'm sure there are others who could offer their opinions weekly, every other week, or even once a month. Help us out, so we don't have to answer questions like, "why are you in every week?"

... and another thing!
We need a young pope from the Western hemisphere! By young I mean under 60 and must speak English that the entire world can understand. It would be nice to have one who will modernize the church: married priests, women priests, contraception. In other words he must be "in tune" with the real world.
Anthony Quinn played the pope in a 1960s movie, "The Shoes of the Fisherman." As pope he would sneak out of the Vatican at night in disguise and experience the real world. That's the kind of pope we need and if it happens I may just go back to the church!
... that's not ridiculous, do it already!

White lines
It's against the law to cross a solid white lane divider line. On Manitowoc's North Eighth Street, north of Huron Street, and through the "S" curve, it's illegal to change lanes because it's dangerous. When you're going north on Maritime Drive and merging with Memorial Drive, you must keep right of the solid white line for safety in merging with traffic.
When merging with highway traffic from an on ramp, when going west up the hill on Western Avenue, these white lines are there for your protection and safety. Please turn on your headlights whenever you're driving, but especially during inclement weather. Drive safely.
Les Graebel
What 'records?'
Wall Street reports have announced daily "record" gains in the stock market for the past two months. The Dow Jones closing price from March 7 was 14,329. This publicity ignores the enormous monetary losses that have occurred since 2008. In 2008, the DOW was 14,100, and, over the next three years, the market collapsed to 7,000. This monetary collapse resulted in an equal loss of earned investments if the market had stabilized at a higher level by proper leadership. The money lost from 2008 to 2013 will never be recovered, regardless of the "record" levels. The sequester has not yet been realized, and the stock market, now, is just a gamble.
John Goswitz
Branch out
To whom it may concern:
Thank you so much for being concerned about my well-being. I know you mean well, but telling me, at my age, who I should and should not be speaking with is not your place. Just because you would not choose to speak with certain people does not mean I need to make the same choice.
More people should be willing to speak with and listen to those who have differing opinions. Surrounding oneself with people who have wide ranging opinions paves the road to understanding and bridging the gap that's dividing our country.

Re: Voyager rebooted as a movie
Reminds me of the extended footage at the end of Terminator Two where John Connor is a Senator wearing the ugliest dichromium jumper and Sarah is talking about how Michael Jackson celebrated another birthday.
I read Watching the Clock recently, where after Endgame, temporal Investigations gets their hands on Janeway, and they're prepared to throw away the key, when the time cops we are used to, Ducane and daniels, say "let it go, it's fine, all is good" becuase their history requird Janeways selfish criminal antics to cement the foundations of thier present... Which completely reminds me of Oliver North.

How to be a 'good employer'
Crown entities with employees are required to be 'good employers' (Crown Entities Act (CEA) 2004 sections 118 and 151 (1) (g) refer). Each Crown entity must operate a personnel policy that complies with the principle of being a 'good employer', make the 'good employer' policy (including the EEO programme) available to employees, ensure compliance with the policy, and report on that compliance in its annual report. 'Good employer' is further defined in the Act (CEA s 118 (2)).
Being a 'good employer' is part of ensuring that an organisation has the capability to deliver on its strategic objectives. The guidance issued by Central Agencies for Crown entities on preparing Statements of Intent (SOI) (available here) includes reference to the 'good employer' policy in its discussion about "Managing organisational health". This section of the SOI should cover how the entity proposes to manage the organisational health and the capability of the entity (CEA s 141 (1) (e)). The guidance notes that this description will benefit from the inclusion of measures that add to the reader's understanding of the entity's capability, and might include (for example) the good employer policy. The guidance further states that the discussion should consider any capability limitations and their impact on the Crown entity's ability to effectively deliver its outputs and enhance results. In this context, the 'good employer' elements described below focus on the fairness and equity aspects of recruiting, developing, managing and retaining staff to achieve the results set out in each Crown entity's Statement of Intent and any applicable output agreement.
A 'good employer' is an organisation that provides and supports an environment where employees feel valued and respected, where difference is celebrated and diversity encouraged, where there is active staff engagement, transparency on policies and procedures, clear complaints procedures, and regular feedback. The 'good employer' makes maximum use of skills and strengths of all staff but has special regard for those groups most commonly overlooked - Māori, women, ethnic or minority groups, and people with disabilities.
The links below provide detailed and practical information on how to be a 'good employer':
- Organisational employment elements a good employer should consider;
- guidance on staff engagement and consultation throughout the process;
- the steps to ensure a comprehensive EEO programme;
- an annual timeframe.

|Role of inferior rectus botulinum toxin injection in iatrogenic vertical strabismus.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21635164 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Introduction: We describe the uses and effectiveness of botulinum toxin to the inferior rectus muscle in iatrogenic vertical strabismus. Methods: A retrospective review of our database to identify patients who had undergone inferior rectus botulinum toxin injection between 1982 and 2006 for iatrogenic vertical strabismus. Results: There were 13 patients, 5 female, with an age range of 14 to 78 years. Eight left eyes were injected. The mean period of follow-up was 3.3 years. Etiologies included post-local anesthetic, post-plaque radiotherapy for malignant melanoma, adherence syndrome after inferior oblique surgery, and post-botulinum toxin to the levator muscle to produce a temporary therapeutic ptosis. Reversal on first injection occurred in 7 patients and occurred in a further 2 patients on second injection. Pre-injection binocularity was not demonstrable in 3 patients; 2 of these patients did have binocular vision demonstrable after botulinum toxin injection. Seven patients had one injection, 3 patients had two, 1 had three, 1 had five, and 1 had six. Discussion: The data demonstrate the range of indications that can be successfully treated and managed with inferior rectus botulinum toxin injection in iatrogenic vertical strabismus.

Old hands hope to offer city new leadership: Joe Forkner

Joe Forkner wants to talk things out.
As he moves stridently forward in what he admits is an "underdog" mayoral campaign, the multitasking commission, committee and City Council member hopes to translate some of his many experiences into responsible administration leadership.
He has worked in three governments and volunteered countless hours in citizen groups and spent seven years on the City Council. Forkner, 60, considers this variety of roles a strength.
"You get a perspective having been on both sides of the table," Forkner said. "I've seen a lot of things in the past 20 years, and I think it's time to get somebody to balance the future with the cost."

Shire Sails to Shutout Win Over Mordor
A dominant Shire Conference staff steamrolled the Mordor Conference All-Stars in the 27th annual mid-season classic. Allowing just 3 hits, Shire pitchers fanned 9 and walked 2 for a shutout win.
Meanwhile, the Shire batters were able to knock in 6 runs on 11 hits. The biggest blow coming in the 7th inning when they scored 4. The first came when Nose Gladrierà of Moria smacked a pinch double to score Brutus *Trollbasher of the Minas Ithil Wyrms. Next, the Wyrms Wilo Headhater drew a bases-loaded walk to score Gladrierà. Then, Minas Ithil shortstop, Uffrat Moonkiller, sent a screaming liner to deep center for a 2-run double, scoring Bree's Ponto Bramble and Marin Goldtearer of the Wyrms.
The first two runs scored by the Shire came in the 3rd and 4th innings. Olo Bats of Minas Ithil launched a solo HR to left to start off the scoring in the bottom of the 3rd. Then, Diazava Elölindë of the Minas Tirith Titans scored from 2nd on a throwing error by Dol Guldur third baseman, Hisin Rockdelver.
This gives the Shire a 15-12 advantage in the All-Star series.
44,747 fans showed up for the first All-Star Game to be held in Carrock. The winner of the game was Arulas Cross of the Erebor Eagles. Ediberto Whistler of the Misty Mountain Hops was tagged with the loss. The player of the game was Uffrat Moonkiller of the Minas Ithil Wyrms.Posted at April 28, 2014 08:39 PM | more from All-Star Game, more from League News

|Two successful pregnancies in a patient with chemotherapy-induced ovarian failure while on hormone replacement therapy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22122545 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Chemotherapeutic agents administered for the treatment of malignancies can result in the incidence of premature ovarian failure (POF). Ovarian failure is reflected by elevated serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels that may reach menopausal levels, at which the chances of a pregnancy are considered extremely rare. We report a case of a 26-year-old female who experienced two successful pregnancies, despite her diagnosis with chemotherapy-induced POF. This case suggests that patients who suffer from POF secondary to chemotherapy might still retain enough ovarian function with good quality oocytes that could support a healthy pregnancy.

The Aftermath of the 1992 ERM Breakup: Was There a Macroeconomic Free Lunch?
This paper examines the macroeconomic aftermath of the 1992 breakdown of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM). The economic performance of six leaver' nations is compared with five stayer' nations that maintained a roughly fixed parity with the Deutsche Mark. Recent writing about post-1992, which I call the conventional wisdom,' reports that a surprising miracle occurred the leaver nations are alleged to have enjoyed a burst of real growth and a decline in unemployment, all without any evidence of extra inflation. The results in this paper turn the conventional wisdom on its head. While the leaver nations experienced an acceleration of nominal GDP growth relative to the stayers, fully 80 percent of this spilled over into extra inflation, leaving only 20 percent remaining for extra real GDP growth. Virtually 100 percent of the nominal exchange rate depreciation passed through into higher import prices, and extra inflation would have been even more pronounced if it were not for quiescent wage rates, which the paper attributes to high unemployment. The absence of any significant stimulus to real output growth is attributed to fiscal tightening under pressure from the Maastricht criteria, which offset nearly all of the stimulus coming from the improved current account of the leaver nations.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Margery Sborov has been honored with a 2011 Eleven Who Care award for her work to create the Angel Foundation, a cancer charity providing financial and emotional support to families facing the disease.
The power in a promise
"I'm amazed and humbled to think that 10 years ago this started out as a dream," Sborov said.
The dream was to offer help when cancer strikes, but the foundation also fulfills a promise Margie made when she was a teenager.
"My boyfriend died of leukemia," Margie explained.
Jim Deming was Margie's boyfriend and he was also best friends with Mark, the man Margie would one day marry.
"At his graveside, Mark and I made a promise to Jim. Mark's promise was that he would become the best cancer doctor that he could be and try to find a cure for this disease," Margie said. "Mine was that I would help people talk about cancer."
Both Sborovs kept their word. Mark became a doctor at Minnesota Oncology Hematology P.A. and Margie started volunteering as a patient advocate.
"What [Margie] found out was they had many financial needs that couldn't be resolved," founding board member Barb Croxen said. "She kept talking to me about this wonderful thing she wanted to do."
The promise as a foundation
In 2001, using seed money from doctors in Mark's oncology practice, Margie started what has become known as the Angel Foundation.
"She did it with passion and focus and commitment to serving others," Barb said.
The charity offers emergency non-medical financial assistance and free education and support for adult cancer patients and their families.
The Angel Foundation's financial assistance program provides funds for basic needs like food, gas, utilities and rent. Angel Foundation's Facing Cancer Together (FaCT) is a free education and support program for families affected by cancer.
"The biggest thing that we are able to do is help them find their inner strength," Margie said. "Give them the tools so they can work together as a family."
The promise to continue
In early June, the staff of the foundation moved into a bigger facility, allowing all the programs to be under one roof.
"It started at my kitchen table and now we have the space for nine staff members," Margie said.
The numbers are already impressive: $2 million dollars distributed, 500 families supported and 13,000 individuals helped in just 10 years. Margie and the foundation staff are committed to doing even more in their new space.
"I have it in my heart and in my soul," she said.
It is the powerful result of Margie making good on a promise to a boy she loved.
"I think Jim would say, 'I'm very proud of you.'"

Brownie Sundae Bon Bons
Posted By Bakerella On July 2, 2012 @ 1:35 am In Bite-size,Chocolate | 106 Comments
It's been soooo hot the last few days. Like historically hot with record-breaking temperatures in Georgia. Throw in our humidity and it's a recipe for staying inside and enjoying the cool breeze of the air conditioner. I've lived without one when I was younger, but in the south, the a/c is definitely appreciated. So instead of turning on the oven, I played around with candy molds and ice cream. Thank goodness for ice cream on hot days. I thought I'd divvy it up a little though and enjoy the simple luxury of having ice cream I can hold in my hands. Bite-size bon bons ready to eat at any given moment. Plus this way I can stretch out the ice cream instead of eating it by the bowlful… which I would do.
I used these medium size candy cup molds (mold # 90-5607 [3]) to form the bon bons. If you wanted to make a bunch, several molds would be handy. But you can always repeat and reuse.
Pour some melted chocolate candy coating in each cavity.
And tilt the mold in multiple directions to let the chocolate coat the shape.
You can place it in the freezer for a couple of minutes to set quickly.
Then just fill it with ice cream just below the edge of the mold.
And for brownie bon bons, fill it about halfway to leave room for brownie.
It helps if the ice cream is a little soft to fill the cavity. After it's filled, place it back in the freezer for the ice cream to firm up again.
Then pour a tiny bit of chocolate syrup on top and cover with brownie.
I had made these recently and decided to use a few of the brownies I had not eaten for this tiny treat. You can pinch off a little bit and press it flat. Then lay it on top of the syrup and cover with more melted chocolate.
And now I have the luxury of grabbing a bite of ice cream at any given moment. At least until they are gone – which won't be much longer.
I had some blank ice cream cups that I thought would be fun to put the bon bons in. But they needed to be dressed up a little for pictures so I made these cute labels.
They'd would be so cute at a party if you could keep them cold.
If you want the label, here's a pdf of the artwork [12] I created.
And here's a place you can order the plain bowls [13].
The molds make it easier to layer the brownie bon bons. The mold (#90-5604) on the left is smaller and just right for one bite satisfaction. One flavor and all good. You can see the difference compared to the medium candy cup mold.
Here's another mold (#90-5113) that's pretty neat. There are tons to choose from, but these were a few I already own. You could also use ice cube trays for bigger bites.

Eudora boys let a close one slip away
The Eudora boys basketball team couldn't stand tough Friday night, letting Osawatomie gain the upper-hand early, setting the pace of the game.
Eudora lost the contest by just five points, 46-41, in Trojan territory.
"They did not play very well in the first half," Eudora Coach Chad Eshbaugh said. "Then, they got us caught up in their style of play. Their play was very slow and deliberate. They didn't give us the real easy looks. We played right into their hands."
Senior point guard John Powers agreed.
"I think our inability to execute set the pace of the game," Powers said. "We came out and got some fast breaks, but were not able to execute on those fast breaks. Also, we all complied to their slow pace."
Turning the ball over 18 times didn't help matters for the Cardinals.
"Possessions are so precious," Eshbaugh said.
Junior Lear Bowling opened scoring with a jump-shot two minutes into the game. Osawatomie responded about a minute later with an aggressive basket by junior Clint Freeman.
Bowling took charge again and cranked in a three-pointer for a 5-2 lead. Senior Philip Walen hit another two-pointer for the Trojans. Eudora failed to convert on its end of the court. On the defensive end, senior Matt Fisher blocked a shot and Wes Hinman, also a senior, recovered for the Cardinals. He was fouled while taking a shot, and hit both from the free throw line. Eudora led by three points again with about 2:30 remaining. The Cardinals had the edge at the end of the first quarter, leading 9-8.
Eudora came out hot in the second quarter and managed to gain a 17-8 lead in about four minutes. A tough defense kept Osawatomie from scoring until 3:36 was left on clock.
Eudora didn't hold its ground, however, as the Trojans went on a 12-point run in just three minutes. Osawatomie claimed a 22-17 first half lead.
To start the second half, the Trojans quickly popped in four points. Hinman scored six of Eudora's 10 points in the third quarter, trying to keep the Cardinals in the game.
After Fisher pumped in a short jump-shot from the side with 1:15 to go in the third quarter, the Cardinals were back within three points, 30-27.
Osawatomie scored two more buckets to lead 34-27 going into the fourth quarter.
About 30 seconds into the final quarter, Fisher scored another basket and stole the ball on the other end, converting it into two points. Once again the Cardinals were within three points, 34-31.
However, turnovers and missed shots by Eudora helped Osawatomie earn a seven-point lead with 4:45 left to play.
It took junior Zac Tyler just two minutes to connect on two shots. Fisher stole the ball again and Hinman converted it into two more points with about three minutes left. Eudora was within two points, 41-39. The Cardinals didn't score again until two minutes later, when Bowling sank a deep two-pointer. Osawatomie held its 45-41 for the remainder of the game.
"We knew it was going to be a close game," Eshbaugh said. "Anytime you play a close game, there's a small margin of error. If you play close games, you're gonna lose occasionally.
"Mainly, I was not pleased with the way we came out in the first half and played," he added. "We've got to get things back so that we are playing well again."
"We didn't play well," Powers said. "We've been playing well as a unit until the past couple of games, then we went back to trying to do too much on our own instead of as a team."
Fisher scored 11 points to lead the Cardinals. Hinman added 10 points. Bowling and Tyler had nine each.
"I thought we had pretty good production out of Lear Bowling," Eshbaugh said. "He did pretty well off the boards for us all night.
"We had good balance scoring wise. But then, hardly anybody else chipped in at all. There were some positives from this game, but we really need more of those."
Fisher also had 10 rebounds, good for a guard, Eshbaugh said. Freeman scored 17 points for Osawatomie.
The Cardinals bounced back nicely Tuesday night, beating Pleasant Ridge on their home court by a score of 51-34.
Hinman led Eudora with 14 points.
The Eudora boys play host to Baldwin City Friday night.

Manitowoc, Wis. - July 11, 2011 - Manitowoc Ice was recognized for excellence in product design in the 8th annual Dealer Design Awards Program sponsored by The Air Conditioning Heating & Refrigeration News magazine. An independent panel of 30 contractors acted as judges in the contest that had 127 entries from over 80 different brands. The company's Indigo Ice machine was the gold level in the Refrigeration and Ice Machine Category. The ACHR News is the leading trade magazine in the heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration industries.
News Publisher John Conrad stated, "These awards give us a unique opportunity to recognize the outstanding research and development efforts that go into many of the products serving the HVACR industry and the awards issue gives our readers an opportunity to read about innovative installation and service solutions."
The recently released IndigoTM Series ice machine uncomplicates everything about the ice making process. The brilliant blue indigo display provides state-of-the-art diagnostics and reliable monitoring of refrigeration systems.
This built-in information helps make service calls faster and more accurate. The display can also be used to improve energy management, set proper ice production levels, streamline cleaning processes, maintain ice quality, and show the automatically saved installation date if warranty work is ever needed.
"We are very pleased to receive this prestigious recognition from our service contractor community," states Rick Showers, vice president of marketing for Manitowoc Ice. "The electronic storing and reading of data makes servicing easier and reduces labor and machine downtime. This award acknowledges our commitment to developing energy efficient and operator-friendly ice machines."
Winning entries in the Dealer Design Awards are featured in the July 11, 2011 issue of The ACHR News, which is distributed nationally to over 33,000 HVACR contractors, wholesalers, and other industry professionals.

In Tennessee Williams play "A Streetcar Named Desire," the character Blanche Dubois famously declared, "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." Her line came to mind this week when I read a front page story in The New York Times. "99 Weeks Later, Jobless Have Only Desperation." The article reports on the "jobless Americans whose members have taken to calling themselves '99ers,' because they have exhausted the maximum 99 weeks of unemployment insurance benefits that they can claim."
One of them, Alexandra Jarrin, a 49-year old woman who only 2 years ago was director of client services earning $56,000 at a small company in the New York area and was pursuing an M.B.A., lost her job in 2008. After her 99 weeks of unemployment benefits expired this summer, she moved into a motel room in Vermont with money donated by friends that paid for a one week stay. The story continues:
Ms. Jarrin had scrabbled for her foothold in the middle class. She graduated from college late in life, in 2003, attending classes while working full time. She used to believe that education would be her ticket to prosperity, but is now bitter about what it has gotten her.
"I owe $92,000 for an education which is basically worthless," she said.
Last year she moved to Brentwood, Tenn., south of Nashville, in search of work. After initially trying to finish her M.B.A. program remotely, she dropped out because of the stress from her sinking finances. She has applied for everything from minimum-wage jobs to director positions.
She should have been evicted from her two-bedroom apartment several months ago, but the process was delayed when flooding gripped middle Tennessee in May. In mid-July, a judge finally gave her 10 days to vacate.
Helped by some gas cards donated by a church, she decided to return to this quiet New England town, where she had spent most of her adult life. She figured the health care safety net was better, as well as the job market.
She contacted a local shelter but learned there was a waiting list. Welfare is not an option, because she does not have young children. She says none of her three adult sons are in a position to help her.
A friend wired her $200 while she was driving from Tennessee, enabling her to check into a motel along the way and helping to pay for her stay here. But Ms. Jarrin doubts that much more charity is coming.
"The only help I'm going to get is from myself," she said. "I'm going to have to take care of me. That has to be through a job."
Ms. Jarrin is not alone. As of July there were 14.6 million recorded unemployed persons in the United States, with the number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks and over) at 6.8 million. And there are strong indications that many of those jobs are not coming back. The safety net, which assumes that individuals will find new jobs, was based on different economic assumptions and has done all that it can. Now millions of families desperately depend on the kindness of strangers – their elected officials in Washington. It is unreasonable to expect our government to extend unemployment benefits indefinitely. But how are we as a nation going to handle what might be millions of other Americans who soon may become "99ers," and who may never find work again?
