Uric Acid in Urine
Test Overview
The uric acid urine test measures the amount of uric acid in a sample of urine collected over 24 hours. Uric acid is produced from the natural breakdown of your body's cells and from the foods you eat.
Most of the uric acid is removed from the body in urine. A small amount passes out of the body in stool. But if too much uric acid is being produced, the level in the urine will increase. If the kidneys are not able to remove it from the blood normally, the level of uric acid in the urine will decrease.
High blood levels of uric acid in the body can cause solid crystals to form within joints. This causes a painful condition called gout. If gout remains untreated, uric acid crystals can build up in the joints and nearby tissues, forming hard lumpy deposits called tophi. High levels of uric acid in the urine can cause kidney stones.
Why It Is Done
A uric acid urine test is done to:
- Check to see if kidney stones may be caused by high uric acid levels in the body.
- Find the cause of a high level of uric acid in the blood and help choose the proper treatment.
How To Prepare
No special preparation is required before having a uric acid urine test. It is not necessary to restrict fluids or foods before the test. Be sure to drink enough fluids during the 24-hour urine test to prevent dehydration.
During the collection period, do not drink alcohol, because alcohol reduces the amount of uric acid eliminated by the kidneys.
Many medicines can change the results of this test. Be sure to tell your doctor about all the nonprescription and prescription medicines you take.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results may mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
How It Is Done
A uric acid urine test is usually done on a sample taken from all the urine produced in a 24-hour period.
To collect your urine for 24 hours:
- You start collecting your urine in the morning. When you first get up, empty your bladder but do not save this urine. Write down the time that you urinated to mark the beginning of your 24-hour collection period.
- For the next 24 hours, collect all your urine. Your doctor's office or lab will usually provide you with a large container that holds about 1 gal (4 L). The container has a small amount of preservative in it. Urinate into a small, clean container and then pour the urine into the large container. Do not touch the inside of the container with your fingers.
- Keep the large container in the refrigerator for the 24 hours.
- Empty your bladder for the final time at or just before the end of the 24-hour period. Add this urine to the large container and record the time.
- Do not get toilet paper, pubic hair, stool (feces), menstrual blood, or other foreign matter in the urine sample.
How It Feels
There is no pain while collecting a 24-hour urine sample.
There is no chance for problems while collecting a 24-hour urine sample.
The uric acid urine test measures the amount of uric acid in a sample of urine collected over 24 hours.
The normal values listed here—called a reference range—are just a guide. These ranges vary from lab to lab, and your lab may have a different range for what's normal. Your lab report should contain the range your lab uses. Also, your doctor will evaluate your results based on your health and other factors. This means that a value that falls outside the normal values listed here may still be normal for you or your lab.
Results are usually available in 1 to 2 days.
250–750 milligrams (mg) per 24-hour urine sample
1.48–4.43 millimoles (mmol) per 24-hour urine sample
Women typically have slightly lower uric acid levels than men.
Many conditions can change uric acid levels. Your doctor will talk with you about any abnormal results that may be related to your symptoms and past health.
What Affects the Test
Failing to collect exactly 24 hours of urine during a uric acid urine test can cause inaccurate test results.
High values
High uric acid levels may be caused by:
- Individual differences in the way your body produces or gets rid of uric acid.
- Conditions, such as:
- Kidney disease or kidney damage.
- The increased breakdown of body cells that occurs with some types of cancer (including leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma) or cancer treatments, hemolytic anemia, sickle cell anemia, or heart failure.
- Other disorders, such as alcohol dependence, preeclampsia, liver disease (cirrhosis), lipid disorders, obesity, psoriasis, hypothyroidism, and low blood levels of parathyroid hormone.
- Starvation, malnutrition, or lead poisoning.
- A rare inherited gene disorder called Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.
- Medicines, such as some diuretics, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), lower doses of aspirin (75 to 80 mg aspirin daily), niacin, and some medicines used to treat leukemia, lymphoma, or tuberculosis.
- Contrast material used for some X-ray tests.
- Eating foods that are very high in purines, such as organ meats (liver, brains), red meats (beef, lamb), game meat (deer, elk), and some seafood (sardines, herring, scallops).
- Drinking a lot of alcohol, especially beer.
Low values
Low uric acid levels may be caused by:
- Gout , when uric acid production is normal but uric acid removal by the kidneys is reduced.
- Kidney damage or disease that prevents the kidneys from filtering uric acid out of the blood into the urine.
- Folic acid deficiency or lead poisoning.
- Not eating enough protein.
- Some medicines, such as allopurinol, insulin, some diuretics, and high levels of aspirin.
- Drinking alcohol during the collection period.
What To Think About
- Having a high uric acid level does not mean that you have gout. If your uric acid level is high and you do not have any other symptoms, you will not need to take any medicine to decrease your uric acid level.
- If you have kidney disease or have had a problem with kidney stones, your doctor may start treatment with a medicine, such as allopurinol, even if your uric acid levels are not too high.
- Uric acid also may be measured in blood. To learn more, see the topic Uric Acid in Blood.
- About 10 out of 100 kidney stones are made of uric acid. These white or orange stones are hard to see on an abdominal X-ray. Uric acid stones can form when urine has a low pH (is very acidic). People who have gout are at high risk of developing uric acid kidney stones. Allopurinol (such as Zyloprim) may be prescribed without doing a 24-hour uric acid urine level test if a person has significantly impaired kidney function or tophi. Tophi are chalky, white accumulations of uric acid crystals that build up in the soft tissue of a joint, often occurring in the joints of fingers. Tophi may also develop in the cartilage of the external ear, the back of the fingers, or the elbow.
- The chance of having high levels of uric acid in the urine increases under some conditions, such as from receiving chemotherapy for some types of cancer.
- If the urine uric acid is greater than 750 mg per 24-hour urine sample, a person with gout is usually treated with a medicine such as allopurinol that decreases the body's production of uric acid. A person in this situation is called an "overproducer."
- If the urine uric acid is less than 750 mg per 24-hour urine sample, a person with gout may be treated with a medicine such as probenecid (for example, Probalan) that increases uric acid elimination by the kidneys. A person in this situation is called an "underexcretor."
- A person with tophi or uric acid kidney stones will be treated for high uric acid levels no matter what the results of the uric acid test are.

This Week our columnist Gerald Kitabu interviewed Suleiman Mluge, Chairman of Kivukoni Mapambano Economic and Development Group (KIMEDEGRO), the Dar's ferry market participatory security and environment cleanliness group on beach degradation and environmental cleanliness along the Indian Ocean. Excerpts:
Question: Your group is involved in environmental cleanliness at Kivukoni beach and along the Indian Ocean, what is the state of the environment?
Answer: The state of the environment at Kivukoni Ward is not good because many Tanzanians do not know or have little knowledge on the environment management and cleanliness in particular and this is not only at Kivukoni or Ferry market but also in many places along the ocean the environment is very poorly managed.
Experience shows that many Tanzanians do not value their environments, they have no culture of valuing cleanliness and make it part of their daily lives. Kivukoni Ward and Ferry Market in particular is a business hub for many fish businessmen and women. So, because of massive influx of many people from diverse backgrounds, the place is always congested with people and so wastes and garbage materials are must.
Q: Why do many people not value their environment?
A: Facts speak for themselves. For example, very regularly, one would see fishermen dragging fish from the ocean, on the sand towards the mainland or the market place without knowing that by so doing, it is an act of environment degradation. Similarly, fumes and smoke from vehicles and commuter buses such as the daladala which ferry people through the Ferry Market along the ocean and beaches contribute to environmental pollution. Sometimes, few uncivilized people may spit or discharge mucus from their nose anywhere.
Others tend to eat banana or orange and throw the peels in the ocean or simply undress and urinate along the ocean which is unhealthy for themselves and others. So, if you ask them to stop, many would hate you or simply abuse or ridicule you because it is not their culture.
Q: What is the state of beaches along the Indian Ocean?
A: The situation is the same. Beaches are not safe nowadays, they have been continuously subjected to massive wastes, garbage, soft plastic bags, decomposed and rotten materials, effluents from industries and toilets, animals' remains, foods leftovers, and fruits remain etc. During holidays and weekends, many people who visit the beaches do not carry dustbins for keeping food remains and other waste materials. They normally leave the beaches very dirty as if they will never go back again.
Q: What is the direct impact of such degradation?
A: Beaches are well known for provision of fresh air. Good beaches attract both local and foreign tourists as such they earn the country foreign exchange. If they are polluted, no serious tourist will go to stay in a foul-smelling air. A chronic disease such as cholera, diarrhea which is persisting in some communities living along the ocean is a result of mismanagement of the environment.
However, hard plastics, fishing wires and bottles may stick to the propeller of the ocean vessel and if that happens, it may endanger smooth movement of the vessels. Fish are also affected by dynamite fishing which is on the increase in various places along the ocean perpetrated by coastal fisheries communities something which threatens breeding grounds.
Q: So, since your group launched the campaigns on cleanliness exercise along Kivukoni beaches and the ocean, do you see any changes?
A: I would say there are many changes that have been registered until now, although we still have a long way to go. For example, when we arrest people polluting the environment, we usually take them to the city court and after punishment; they come back as changed people. Sometimes we do punish them to clean the environment for three consecutive months for destroying the environment and when they finish their punishment, they never repeat their mistakes. As for market businessmen, we punish them first and if they defy the punishment we stop them from doing business in this area.
Q: How do you control outsiders?
A: During our patrols, we arrest them, educate and direct them what to do in order to make sure that they understand the need for clean environment. If they refuse, they face same music. Our experience shows that after the punishment, many never repeat the mistakes. Those repeating face very severe punishment.
Q: Do you get support from people?
A: As I said earlier, many people do not know the value and benefits of the environment as such, the level of cooperation from the general public is very little. Many think that it is not their responsibility to make the beach places clean. I therefore, call upon the media, and other stakeholders to educate people on proper beach management for the benefit of our city and the nation.
Q: What are the challenges?
A: There are many challenges. For example, our group which is just volunteering has no funds, it has no equipments such as gumboots, pushcarts, uniforms, gloves and blooms to name but a few. Lack of working tools sets back our cleanliness operations along the Lake.
If donors were willing to fund our group, our beaches along the ocean would have been shining with many tourists. Another challenge is the need for training on environmental knowledge and cleanliness among the group staff. Knowledge on environmental management is vital for effective and efficient performance of their duties and responsibilities. Another problem is the lack of financial support from donors something which has crippled most of our operations along the lake.
Q: How do you control ruffians who stay along the beaches terrorizing passers-by?
A: Unlike the past, nowadays we have fixed most of them following regular operations along the Indian Ocean, only that our efforts are being let down by lack of working tools, but if the tools were available, we would have smoked all of them out.
Q: what is your call?
A: Dar city cleanliness will depend on people's willingness to change. Therefore, I call upon all people to change their mindset and value the environment because it is where life derived from. No body will come from outside and clean our environment, it is ourselves. So every body should play his or her part.

I have the 2' x 3' rug in an alcove in my master suite. I used to keep a folded towel there for the cat to sit on and look out the window. I wanted something with more pizazz. This is the perfect splash of color, bright earth tones to highlight the eclectic collection of art on the walls. And the cat likes it too. She has her favorite patch to sit on. Take note: those are each individually woven pieces of carpet expertly stitched together. The workmanship is excellent. I can't image the impact the larger rugs must have. And a great price too.

May 6, 2016
GADSDEN, Ala. (AP) -- Etowah County Sheriff Todd Entrekin says 12 gambling devices have been seized in a raid at a Gadsden VFW Post.
Entrekin said the devices known as "eSweeps" allow a person to put money on an account and keep playing until he or she decides to cash out the account.
Arrested in the raid Sunday was 57-year-old Terri H. Smith of Rainbow City, manager of the VFW post.
She was charged with one count of possession of a gambling device and one count of promoting gambling and has been released on $2,000 bond. Capt. Shane Hartley said each charge is a misdemeanor.
Entrekin said his officers will continue to enforce Alabama's laws against illegal gambling even if the proceeds from the gambling are to go to charity.

The scene opens to Dawn practicing Contest moves, while Ash is wondering how to counter Fantina's Drifblim's Hypnosis. But he ends up falling asleep himself, so Pikachu wakes him up, slightly annoyed. Brock emerges, and he and Dawn remind Ash he's going to get Pokémon medicine. He gives them a list of things to do and he and his Pokémon depart.
Ash reads the list and calls out his Pokémon for showers. When it's Pachirisu's turn, Ash accidentally sprays it with cool water. Dawn scolds him, and he turns on the warm water. Everyone has showered, and they cheer that they're finished. Team Rocket then flies in on a desperate hunt for the twerps and Pikachu. Jessie calls out for them, but gets furious when James and Meowth point out the twerps would not answer.
Ash says it's lunchtime, so Dawn and Pikachu cook pancakes. The group is delighted by how great they taste, and Pachirisu even asks for more! Team Rocket is also eating, though they have a large bag of chips. They happily lay on their backs, their larger stomachs showing.
While all the Pokémon are taking a nap, Ash is still trying to figure out how to keep his Pokémon awake, but falls asleep once more. Dawn scolds him, and Pikachu burst through the door, showing something is terribly wrong. Ash and Dawn rush out to see Pachirisu has a high fever. They rush inside to find a Pokémon Center, but there's not one close by. Ash suggests they get Brock back, and he sends Staravia off, much to Gliscor's disappointment. Dawn is still worrying, and Ash takes Buneary and Happiny to make ice to bring Pachirisu's fever down. Dawn puts the ice on Pachirisu's head, then yells at Ash for spraying it with cold water. Ash counters by saying it probably has an upset stomach because of those pancakes she fed it. The two argue until Dawn hears her sick Pokémon's voice, and they agree it's no time to fight. Team Rocket then spots a Zapdos, and they want it. James fires a Bazooka Gun, but Zapdos flies up. The wad hit's Staravia, and Jessie tells them they can change their sights to that one instead.
Dawn comments how the fever just won't go down, then Ash reminds her about Oran Berries. They go to find some, but have no luck. Team Rocket is not getting too lucky with Staravia either. Ash is concerned about Staravia, so Gliscor offers to go get Brock instead. Ash sends it off, shouting for it to go to the right and calm down. Brock is now seen shopping, commenting on how much stuff the pharmacy has. The scene changes, and Dawn comments on how they need more blankets, so Ash's Pokémon get him a few. Brock is then seen walking home, talking about the stalks. He sees Gliscor, and frantically tries to run. Gliscor lands on him, telling him something's wrong. Brock starts running, then notices Gliscor needs wind to fly. He offers to carry him, but ends up going on ahead after the failed attempt.
Dawn and Ash know they need to get Pachirisu to eat, and Dawn recalls when she was sick, her mom fed her mashed fruit. Ash says they still have the fruit Pikachu found, and try feeding it. It refuses. Brock barges in, running over Pachirisu. He thinks it has an electric cold, similar to Pikachu's. He gets the electricity out, feeds it a pill, then tells them they need to be calm at times like this. Dawn thinks she's a terrible Trainer, but Ash tells her not to cry. They tell Brock about the mashed fruit, but he says that doesn't come until later. They go to try find Oran Berries to feed Pachirisu, then they find a few Oran Berry bushes. Pachirisu accepts them. Everyone is thrilled. At the same time, Staravia gets help from some Wooper to get the gunk off its wings. Pachirisu shows everyone it's better by running around, only to be grabbed by a net! Everyone runs outside, demanding an explanation. Team Rocket recites their motto. They say they wanted Pikachu, but they'll take Pachirisu instead. This infuriates Dawn. Staravia flies in and cuts the net, releasing Pachirisu right after sending the Bazooka Wad back at Team Rocket. Buneary freezes them with Ice Beam and pounding them with Dizzy Punch. Pachirisu sends them blasting off with Discharge.
Brock suggests he teaches them first aid, incase something happens and they can't find a Pokémon Center. They agree. Brock offers to make food, and Pachirisu confirms it's better by being hungry. As the narrator says the farewell, Ash breaks in, realizing he forgot Gliscor. Brock and Dawn also show worry. Gliscor is seen yelling.
- Pokémon Symphonic Medley is used as background music.
- Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture: Glaceon.
- Team Rocket seeing a Zapdos from their balloon in this episode may be a reference to Pokémon Platinum, in which all three legendary birds can be found roaming Sinnoh. This was also the first episode to air after the game's Japanese release.
- Pachirisu becoming ill from having too much electricity is reminiscent of Pikachu's condition from Hoenn Alone!, which is shown in this episode, Get the Show on the Road! and Watt's With Wattson?, which in turn is reminiscent of Pikachu's cold in Sparks Fly for Magnemite.
- The rhyming dub title may be a pun on "Doc Ock," the nickname of the character Doctor Octopus from the Spider-Man franchise.
- Buneary's vest from The Bells are Singing! is shown again in this episode.
- Doc Brock! is the shortest dub title for an episode in the Diamond & Pearl series.
- Dawn reads the title card for this episode.
- Dawn says that Swinub does not like to take showers, but in Fighting Fear With Fear, it was depicted swimming with all of the other Pokémon.
- The dub version of the credits showed the former 4Kids logo at the end. The reason for this is unknown, although it may have been an unintentional result of switching the show's credits to the system used for other Cartoon Network shows.
- This became a running error that later recurred in most of the following season. Only the televised versions are affected; Cartoon Network Video presentations continue to use the original style of credits and are not affected by this.
- This episode features some similarities with the beginning of Giratina and the Sky Warrior. In this episode, Ash and his friends' Pokémon take baths and eat pancakes. This also happens to Shaymin in the movie. Shaymin also gets a mild fever, similar to Pachirisu. Coincidentally, both of these premiered during the same weekend in America.
- Many TV descriptions for this episode claim Pachirisu gets struck by lightning, possibly referring to the Zapdos seen in the episode.
- While Croagunk is looking at himself in the mirror, his Japanese voice can be heard.
- During the flashback, the sparks coming off Pikachu's cheeks are colored blue instead of yellow.
- After Dawn stops crying, her white top extends to the bottom of her shirt.

(CNN) -- Will they or won't they?
After reports started swirling that 90s boy band *NSync might be staging a reunion at Sunday's MTV Music Awards, the Internet went a bit wild in the form of everything from reasons why it HAD to happen to gifs meant to display fans' reactions.
Band member Lance Bass had something to say about the rumors Tuesday night on his SiriusXM show, "Dirty Pop with Lance Bass." Bass said that in light of the fact that fellow band member (now solo phenom) Justin Timberlake is slated to receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the show "... of course people are automatically going to think we're going to be there performing."
Bass said he believes that's what kicked off speculation that the group, who went on hiatus in 2002, would be getting back together. He said he expected the rumors, but has been amazed by how much interest was generated.
But take heart, fans, because Bass stopped short of a complete denial that a reunion performance might happen.

Juan Contreras changed his plea to guilty today in connection with the killing last year of Grace Burton, 81, in her Farmington home.
FARMINGTON, Maine (AP) _ A Massachusetts man has pleaded guilty to murder in the fatal stabbing of an 81-year-old Maine woman.
Juan Contreras changed his plea Thursday on the fourth day of his trial in Franklin County Superior Court in Farmington.
The Morning Sentinel reported that under a plea agreement, Contreras was sentenced to 50 years in prison and will be deported to his native Guatemala upon his release.
Prosecutors said Contreras broke into Grace Burton's Farmington apartment after midnight June 21, 2011, and stabbed her 35 times as she slept in a recliner.
Contreras told police he had smoked marijuana laced with some drug and didn't know what he was doing.
He was living in Farmington at the time of the attack, but then moved to Massachusetts.

The Law Review is so proud of them and of all its members whose hard work made this publication a success!
As mass shootings and police-brutality incidents spawn a constant stream of headlines, the American right to bear arms has grown to become one of the hardest conversations of our time. But the impact of guns on the nation's coffers is another matter of debate.

Kurotsuchi (黒ツチ, Kurotsuchi) is a kunoichi from Iwagakure.
In the anime, a young Kurotsuchi witnessed Deidara flee from Iwagakure, shortly after bombing surrounding buildings. At the time, Deidara had already become part of Akatsuki.[4]
Kurotsuchi is generally calm and easy-going. She has displayed a powerful loyalty to her village, as she was more interested in killing the jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails than actually protecting them.[5] She decided this was the best plan so Iwa could become stronger than Konoha and Kumo. It is shown that she does care for her comrades, as she was prepared to fight to avenge Akatsuchi after he was injured despite their constant arguments.[6]
Like her grandfather, Ōnoki, she is very audacious. She often sarcastically implies that because the Tsuchikage suffers from back pain he should be replaced by someone younger. It is implied she has a low opinion of messenger ninja, referring to Naruto as a "minion" while under the belief he was one. She also has an immature side to her, which she hides, as seen when she reprimands Akatsuchi on his childish excitement about flying when they were heading towards the Island Turtle, though she was secretly excited about the prospect as well.[7]
Kurotsuchi has the utmost confidence in her skills, as seen when battling and capturing Kabuto. This trait makes her somewhat arrogant of her abilities, which she seemingly inherited from her grandfather.
Kurotsuchi has short, black hair and pupil-less, pink eyes (depicted as black in the anime) that are accentuated by her eyelashes running upwards at the corners. She wears the standard attire of the Iwa-nin consisting of a red uniform with her right sleeve missing and a lapel over her right leg, the brown Iwagakure flak jacket, fishnet tights and a skirt over them. She also wears regular shinobi sandals and a pair of gloves.
Kurotsuchi is a highly capable kunoichi, having been chosen to guard the Third Tsuchikage during the Kage Summit, and the reinforcement of the Island Turtle. She can be quite deceptive in combat, as demonstrated when she told her team-mates that she would send Kabuto in their direction, only to have him jump in the other direction falling into her trap.[8]
In the anime, she is also revealed to be skilled in kenjutsu as well as taijutsu defeating several of Naruto's shadow clones. She also displayed great evasiveness as well as sharp reflexes as seen against Ganryū and the other Kiri-nin under his command.[9]
Nature Transformation
Kurotsuchi is capable of using three basic nature transformations. One is Earth Release which enables her to erect a protective rock dome that was sturdy enough to endure several tons of rock falling on it. She can also use Earth Release to unearth things underground. Kurotsuchi can combine the basic natures she can manipulate to create an advanced one by combining Fire Release and Earth Release to create Lava Release, which in her case, creates quicklime. She can use Lava Release: Quicklime Congealing Technique to cause corrosive damage, and combine it with Water Release: Water Trumpet to increase its range and cause it to harden and trap the opponent.
Part II
Five Kage Summit Arc
Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi escorted the Third Tsuchikage to the Five Kage meeting. When they were leaving the Tsuchikage hurt his hips trying to carry his own luggage, so she suggested that he should retire. Despite this, they managed to arrive at the Land of Iron without further incidents. During the meeting, she came to the Tsuchikage's defence during the Fourth Raikage's outburst.
When Kurotsuchi heard that Sasuke Uchiha had infiltrated the meeting, she asked for permission to fight the man who defeated Deidara. The Tsuchikage agreed, but told her to keep out of the Raikage's way. She watched Sasuke's battle from the shadows and, when Sasuke caused the room to collapse, she created a dome to protect herself from falling debris. She also fended off Zetsu's Spore Technique. While leaving the Land of Iron, she suggested to the Tsuchikage that they eliminate Killer B and Naruto so they can foil Madara Uchiha's Eye of the Moon Plan and weaken Konohagakure and Kumogakure. When he disagreed, she exclaimed that he wasn't acting like the stubborn old man she knew of. He responded that he remembered who he was before he became a "hard-headed old man".
Upon their return to Iwagakure, they receive approval from the Earth Daimyō to continue on with the shinobi alliance. After Akatsuchi had informed Kurotsuchi about their encounter with Madara Uchiha, she mocks her grandfather by comparing his age to Madara's. She later shares her thoughts on the upcoming war, finding it unimaginable.
Adventures at Sea Arc
Main article: Adventures at Sea Arc Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi were sent by the Tsuchikage in a diplomatic mission to improve Kirigakure's relationship with Iwagakure, along with Chōjūrō, who was also sent by the Mizukage on the same mission to stop Ganryū in the process. After arriving the two were attacked by Ganryū and several of his allies. Despite the intervention of Naruto whose ship had stopped at the island to resupply she treated him poorly under the belief that he was a simple messenger ninja, after Akatsuchi was injured she went to battle Ganryū for revenge defeating all of the shadow clones Naruto created to stop her. Arriving after Naruto had managed to non-violently settle the dispute, she accepted Ganryū's apology. After seeing Naruto off after his ship was restocked she expressed annoyance after realising he had forgotten to introduce himself.
Confining the Jinchūriki Arc
Upon returning to their village, they were informed that the Earth Daimyō has approved the formation of the Allied Shinobi Forces. She and Akatsuchi then joined Ōnoki to reinforce the garrison on the Island Turtle, before spotting and attacking Kabuto Yakushi and Deidara. After Ōnoki drew Deidara away to avoid damaging the turtle, she battled Kabuto and managed to trap him so that he could be interrogated by Aoba. However, Kabuto later freed himself by reverting into his snake-like form, claiming that knowing about Kurotsuchi's techniques beforehand had aided him in his escape. Knowing Kurotsuchi's techniques also helped him in lowering everyone's guard, giving him an opportunity to capture Yamato. Kurotsuchi chased after Kabuto, but Kabuto was able to hide in Manda II's nose and released the Summoning Technique, vanishing along with the giant snake.
Shinobi World War Arc
After escorting the Island Turtle back to Kumogakure, she is assigned to the Second Division of the Allied Shinobi Forces, unhappy with the fact that her father was her commander. Later on she used Earth Release: Opening Earth Rising Excavation with her father to unearth the White Zetsu Army and starts fighting them. After a long fight with the Zetsu Army, she retreated along with her division and the members of the Fifth Division so they could aid Darui's division.
In the anime, Kurotsuchi later visited the Fifth Division to speak with Deidara. She is later escorted by Okisuke to where Deidara was. While she interrogated Deidara about Kabuto Yakushi's whereabouts, she brings up the fact that Sasuke Uchiha was still alive and is a member of the Akatsuki which shocked Deidara who believed he had killed him. Kurotsuchi becomes annoyed by Deidara's lack of co-operation Deidara is giving and asks if the White Zetsu Army clone impersonating a Samurai could open Black Ant so she could speak to him. Before he could do so, news reaches the division of the impersonators within their ranks which leads Okisuke to question the samurai in front of him. Giving the wrong answer, the samurai is cut down mercilessly but Deidara still manages to escape. While chasing Deidara, Kurotsuchi is later trapped in the Hiding in Frost Technique cast by Chūkichi but he is quickly summoned away by Kabuto. Kurotsuchi, Kankurō and the Fifth Division soon caught up to Deidara and realise that he has planted land mines underground and reacted by using Lava Release: Quicklime Congealing Technique to stop the land mines from exploding once she touched the ground, Deidara then exploded and escaped once again. Kurotsuchi transforms into Sasuke Uchiha and finds Deidara and leads him off into a trap and re-seal Deidara inside Black Ant again and Kurotsuchi leaves.[10] During the next day of battle, Kurotsuchi and the others were able to successfully defeat the Akatsuki forces that opposed them, and she, along with the remaining persons in her division made their way to the battlefield where the jinchūriki were.
Ten-Tails Revival Arc
She later stood alongside the other members of the Allied Shinobi Forces as they faced their opposition. Putting Shikaku's plan into action after her father and his team, sink the beast into a hold, Kurotsuchi and several other Lava Release bearers pour quicklime on the beast which is later mixed with water and super-dried by members of the Sarutobi clan. She later stood alongside her grandfather when he re-entered the battlefield and responded to his rousing speech with a fearsome war cry.
Creation and Conception
Masashi Kishimoto has noted that she looks a great deal like a dancer. This was intentional as he wanted give her a sense of lightness and agility. He's also noted that while it is hard to tell her gender, she is in fact female.
Video Games
In Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations and Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, Kurotsuchi is a support-only character.
- Kurotsuchi (黒ツチ) means "Black Earth".
- Before the Second Naruto Fanbook, many fans were not sure as to Kurotsuchi's gender. However, the fanbook confirmed that she was in fact female.
- Kurotsuchi refers to Deidara as "Deidara-nii" (デイダラ兄), an honourific meaning "big brother", which may mean that Deidara is of some relation to her, or it's used as a sign of respect.[11]
- (To Ōnoki) "If we take this chance and dispose of the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, we will not only be able to put an end to Madara's plan, but we'll also be able to reduce Kumo's and Konoha's war potentials. Wouldn't it be killing two birds with one stone!?" (「この機に八尾と九尾を処理しちまえばマダラのその計画ってのもダメにできるし雲と木ノ葉の戦力削ぐができて一石二鳥じゃねェ!?」, "Kono ki ni Hachibi to Kyūbi o shori shichimaeba Madara no sono keikaku tte no mo dame ni dekirushi Kumo to Konoha no senryoku sogu koto ga dekite isseki nichō janē!?")[12]

The National School Boards Association (NSBA) is asking for more flexibility for local school officials in a bill designed to prevent the improper use of restraints and seclusion to manage students with disabilities.
In testimony submitted in anticipation of a hearing on July 12, NSBA is asking the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions to reconsider portions of the Keeping All Students Safe Act (S. 2020). The bill, which is supported by many special education and disability rights advocates, would ban certain types of restraints and require school districts to report incidents to the U.S. Department of Education.
"Local school boards want to be assured that federal legislation addressing the use of restraints and seclusion provides maximum flexibility and authority to states and local school boards in its implementation," reads NSBA's testimony.
NSBA asks that any requirements for teacher and staff training and certification "be structured in a manner that is reasonable, affordable and effective," and that Congress ensures that data collecting and reporting requirements are minimized, given the limited capacity of school districts and the U.S. Department of Education to collect and analyze such data.
The testimony asks for specific changes to the bill, including:
- Remove or rewrite the threshold for restraints, based on the definition of serious bodily injury adopted by IDEA in 2004, which is not feasible in emergencies and takes away other opportunities to train staff and prepare for its use;
- Modify the requirement for a debriefing session within five days, as this is burdensome and costly to schools and would create conditions well beyond the control of the school. NSBA recommends that personnel should be allowed to submit information verbally, in writing and electronically since all parties may not be able to physically participate;
- Ensure that the bill allows flexibility to address unanticipated threats to students' safety;
- Remove a stipulation that prohibits any reference to the use of physical restraints into a student's education plan; and
- Allow states that have successfully created policies dealing with restraints and seclusion to be exempt from new federal mandates.
The bill was introduced in December but its chance of passage seems unlikely, given its lack of progress in the House and the lack of time remaining in Congress in an election year.

text: While Judaism places great emphasis on our lives in this world, death is an inevitable end for all of us. Often Jews who have been distant from traditional Jewish practice for their whole lives seek the comfort of traditional Judaism in the face of death. For mourners, whose lives are often turned upside down by death, the traditional practices of mourning can provide structure and comfort.

At ground level, the patted-down snow doesn't look like much. But from the hospital windows above, the messages are quite clear. The latest are the words "love" and "believe," along with a peace symbol. Each time there's fresh snow, there's a new message.
Nurse Mary Habiger has seen a man and woman in snow shoes stamping out the messages. She says the mystery man and woman seem well organized and plan their messages in advance.
Habiger tells WCCO-TV ( http://cbsloc.al/1bIVNo6) there are lots of family lounges in the hospital that face the river. So even if a patient's room doesn't overlook the river, they can view the messages from there.

Tapas – Spanish-style small plates built for sharing – encourage around-the-table socializing and are surprisingly easy to prepare. The result? An ideal meal for a casual yet impressive dinner party.
To get the fiesta started, invest in some small plates. Modern white plates feel springy and fresh against the rich dishes, but I love the idea of using traditional terra-cotta dishware, too, for a touch of undeniable authenticity. Keep in mind when writing your guest list and buying ingredients that each recipe is meant to be shared, so to keep everyone satisfied, I'd suggest offering up to six dishes per person.
To help you kick off your planning, we've snagged a recipe from Ken Oringer's much-adored Boston tapas spot, Toro: the classic and ever-popular gambas al ajillo (grilled garlic shrimp with chilies).
Gambas al Ajillo
Serves 4 – 6
- 20 medium shrimp, peeled & deveined
- 3 shallots, thinly sliced
- 10 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 4 cups white wine
- 3 dried cascabel chilies, stems & seeds removed
- 4 cups lobster stock
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Canola oil, to grease the pan
- Chili threads, for garnish
- Combine shallots, garlic, and white wine in heavy-bottomed stockpot. Reduce over medium-high heat until almost all of the wine has evaporated.
- Add chilies and lobster stock and reduce by three quarters. Let cool slightly, then put contents of pot into blender.
- Blend on high until smooth. Add lemon juice and slowly incorporate softened butter while blender is running. Taste sauce and add salt if needed. Keep lobster sauce warm, but not on direct heat.
- Place heavy cast-iron pan over high heat with a thin layer of canola oil until very hot. Season shrimp with salt and pepper and add to pan without overcrowding.
- Cook for 1 – 2 minutes per side and transfer to a mixing bowl. Toss with lobster sauce, then plate, garnish with chili threads, and serve.
Along with the shrimp, try a menu including chicken-stuffed avocado, seared chorizo, fried chickpeas, and sautéed vegetables for a variety of delicious flavors. And of course, don't forget to embrace Spanish tradition with a batch of springtime sangria.
Our The Professional Kitchen: Stainless Steel Cookware, Spotlight On: White & Wood Serveware, and Prep Like a Pro: Cutlery & Kitchen Gadgets Boutiques open Wednesday, April 3, at 3PM ET.

Let's make a deal. I'll tell you my most memorable Canadian music moment in exchange for you telling me yours. It's a fitting exercise with Juno Week a few sleeps away and a wave musicians and music types about to crash against our shores and on some people's couches. There's no need to be elaborate. Just a few lines about an experience (good or bad) you had listening, watching or playing Canadian music, like getting slapped the face for going too far as Bryan Adams' Heaven played, changing the words to Helix's Rock You, or being told you sound (or look) like Geddy Lee. Here's mine: New Year's Eve 1999. Great Big Sea is playing on the waterfront, as St. John's is the first place in North American to ring in the new millennium. There's all this fear and fuss about the Y2K bug and disaster when the clock struck 12, but 90,000 people are there reveling and singing along to every word. It was exceptionally cool to just stop and listen. OK, so what's your most memorable Canadian music experience? Post it using a valid e-mail address and go in a draw for Juno swag.
Tell me yours and I'll...

In the mid 70's i might have been 10, but i remember sitting on my brothers shoulders in Memorial Stadium, about 15 rows back from the stage, when the band shot off a cannon full of confetti. It was my first rock concert, It was of course, April Wine during thier Stand Back tour.

8-3-05 - Oklahoma State officials are responding to a lawsuit filed by an OSU grad that says Boone Pickens Stadium isn't in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The federal lawsuit by James Lawson of Stillwater says seating, parking, concessions, restrooms and other facilities don't comply with the federal law.
OSU spokesman Gary Shutt says in a statement that the university is sensitive to the needs of the disabled and that all new work on the stadium fully complies the disabilities act. Shutt says the issues raised by Lawson are related to pre-existing facilities in the 85-year-old stadium.
The US Department of Justice says stadiums built after January 1993 must comply with the ADA. OSU's stadium opened in 1920.

death penalty: an overview
Congress or any state legislature may prescribe the death penalty, also known as capital punishment, for murder and other capital crimes. The Supreme Court has ruled that the death penalty is not a per se violation of the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment, but the Eighth Amendment does shape certain procedural aspects regarding when a jury may use the death penalty and how it must be carried out. Because of the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause, the Eighth Amendment applies against the states, as well as the federal government.
Eighth Amendment analysis requires that courts consider the evolving standards of decency to determine if a particular punishment constitutes a cruel or unusual punishment. When considering evolving standards of decency, courts both look for objective factors to show a change in community standards and also make independent evaluations about whether the statute in question is reasonable.
Proportionality Requirement
The U.S. Supreme Court has determined that a penalty must be proportional to the crime; otherwise, the punishment violates the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishments. In performing its proportionality analysis, the Supreme Court looks to the following three factors: a consideration of the offense's gravity and the stringency of the penalty; a consideration of how the jurisdiction punishes its other criminals; and a consideration of how other jurisdictions punish the same crime.
In the landmark case of Coker v. Georgia, 433 U.S. 584 (1977), the Supreme Court ruled that a state cannot apply the death penalty or the crime of raping an adult woman because it violates the proportionality requirement. The Court came to this conclusion by considering objective indicia of the nation's attitude toward the death penalty in rape cases. At the time only a few states allowed for executions of convicted rapists.
Twenty-one years later, in Kennedy v. Louisiana (07-343) (2008), the Supreme Court extended its ruling in Coker, holding that the penalty is categorically unavailable for cases of child rape in which the victim lives. Because only six states in the country permitted execution as a penalty for child rape, the Supreme Court found the national consensus to hold its use in these cases as disproportionate.
Principle of Individualized Sentencing
To impose a death sentence, the jury must be guided by the particular circumstances of the criminal, and the court must have conducted an individualized sentencing process. In the 2002 Ring v. Arizona decision, the Supreme Court ruled that a jury, rather than a judge, must find an aggravating factor to exist for cases in which those factors underlie a judge's choice to impose the death penalty rather than a lesser punishment. 536 U.S. 584. An aggravating factor is any fact or circumstance that increases the culpability for a criminal act.
The Supreme Court further refined the requirement of "a finding of aggravating factors" in Brown v. Sanders. 546 U.S. 212 (2006). For cases in which an appellate court rules a sentencing factor invalid, the Court ruled that the sentence imposed becomes unconstitutional unless the jury found some other aggravating factor that encompasses the same facts and circumstances as the invalid factor.
Another 2006 cases, Kansas v. Marsh, offered yet another clarification to the principle of individualized sentencing jurisprudence. After Marsh, states may impose the death penalty for situations in which the jury finds the aggravating and mitigating factors to equally balance, without violating the principle of individualized sentencing.
Method of Execution
A legislature may prescribe the manner of execution, but the manner may not inflict unnecessary or wanton pain upon the criminal. Courts apply an "objectively intolerable" test when determining if the method of execution violates the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishments.
State courts and lower federal courts have refused to strike down hanging and electrocution as impermissble methods of execution; however, the U.S. Supreme Court did not take up a method of execution case for 117 years until Baze v. Rees (07-5439) in 2008. In Baze the Supreme Court held that lethal injection did not constitute a cruel and unusual punishment. This case resolved a controversial issue in light of recent evidence that a lethal injection's three-drug combination fails to alleviate pain and prevents the criminal from signaling such pain because of paralysis inducement.
Classes of Persons Not Eligible for the Death Penalty
More recently, in Atkins v. Virginia, 536 U.S. 304 (2002), the Supreme Court determined that executing mentally retarded criminals violates the ban on "cruel and unusual punishments" because their mental handicap lessens the severity of the crime and therefore renders the extraordinary penalty of death as disproportionately severe. However, in Bobby v. Bies, the Court held that states may conduct hearings to reconsider the mental capacity of death row inmates who were labeled mentally retarded before the Court decided Atkins, because before Atkins, states had little incentive to aggressively investigate retardation claims.
In Roper v. Simmons, 543 U.S. 551 (2005), the Supreme Court invalidated the death penalty for all juvenile offenders. The majority opinion pointed to teenagers' lack of maturity and responsibility, greater vulnerability to negative influences, and incomplete character development. The Court concluded that juvenile offenders assume diminished culpability for their crimes.

Vol State Has New Health Care ProgramsHealth care education can be competitive for students applying to an Allied Health major and current health care workers looking for a new field. Volunteer State Community College has several new health care educational programs that can help. The college wants to provide new opportunities for Vol State students interested in the healthcare field and health care workers interested in upgrading their skills. The programs come in a variety of options and specialties, including non-credit and credit.
Students looking for a quick path into health care can consider the non-credit Certified Medical Assistant and Certified Massage Therapy programs. Certified Medical Assistant takes just five months to complete and Massage Therapy nine months. A special information session for these programs is coming up on Tuesday, August 13 at 6 p.m. in the 300 building, classroom 101, on the Vol State East Campus, just off Gap Blvd and Nashville Pike in Gallatin. Non-credit programs can help people prepare for careers, but they don't count as college academic credit towards a degree.
Other new non-credit programs include Phlebotomy, the collection of blood in medical settings, Emergency Medical Dispatch, Patient Care Technician and ECG Technician. The electrocardiograph technician is responsible for operating equipment that measures patients' heart. Patient care technicians perform tasks a patient cannot do for themselves, such as eating, getting out of bed, and taking a bath. These shorter, non-credit programs, are designed to train students for certification, needed to practice and move up in the field.
Students may also want to consider a relatively new field: Medical Informatics. The job combines computer skills with medical information and has become quite important, considering the national shift to electronic medical records. There are two concentrations: Developer and Technologist. Vol State offers a two-year Medical Informatics associate of applied science degree, which is an academic credit program.
For more information about these new Vol State health care programs contact Terri Crutcher at firstname.lastname@example.com or 615-230-3343.

Comments about OtterBox Commuter Series Black iPhone 5 Case:
Protecting my phone is a life line. Most of us have become reliant on it. I got this case because I could not take the chance of damaging it. This is an awesome case. I have dropped the phone numerous times and have not had any issues. It is a little large but does the job.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
