If anyone has a procedure for the disposal of used glass and paraffin
blocks
that they are willing to share, I would greatly appreciate it.  We are
being
surveyed by CAP in 2 weeks.  This is in regards to ANP.27150 on the AP

You know Joe, we Texians were annexed unconstitutionally.  We should
just take up arms and re-revolt against the yankee oppressors( I know
you're a transplanted yankee, but we're willing to overlook it).  If Key
West can secede why can't we?  We were never formally asked to join the
United States of Aggression.  LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS!  REMEMBER

you might want to hit the delete button on this one. I'm prepared to get
flamed and have my registries revoked, but I have to get something off
my
chest.
	As some of you may know, ASCP is now in charge of handling the
Pathologists' Assistant exam, of which I am partaking in. Not only did
they
raise the exam fee from $150 to $450, we now have to know ICD-9 codes,
not
to mention Robbin's Pathology book (which is heavy enough to break a
vase. I
know this because it fell out of my hand the other night and shattered a
vase.) Have you seen the ICD-9 book? Rather extension reading if I do
say so
myself.
	Moving on, after January 2008, one has to be a graduate of an
accredited
program. Well, that's just dandy because we in the South do not have any
programs to attend because they are all up North or on the East Coast.
Are
we going to have to repeat the 1860's again? Are we in the South going
to
have to resort to revolting and have demonstration marches? Do I sense
some
discrimination here? Am I too sensitive? (I think not)
	It took us two years here just to get a Histology program up and
going at
the local community college. How long is it going to take to start a
master's level program?
	There, I've said my piece. thank you for letting me get thing
off my chest.
Oh yeah, I'm collecting money to replace the vase I broke. Until then,
I'll
be sleeping with my dogs. Which is okay, but the fleas are killing me.
	One other thing, I like Swiss, Muenster, Colby, Cheddar (sharp).
	as always, the opinion of this author does not reflect the
opinions of the
employees, their children, mothers, lawyers, etc, etc, etc.

No it is not.  Texians is what the heroes of the Alamo called
themselves.  It was probably a combination of Texan and Mexican.  Yes
there was some Mexicans fighting for Texas freedom.

Didn't I read that CAP has a regulation that a lab cannot charge for
more than one of each immuno on the same case, e.g., cannot charge for
two S-100's on the same case, even though they're on different blocks?
Does anyone know where to find the justification for that?

Joyce 
Texian and Texicans are words used here, just like y'all and y'all
y'all.
These words have arisen because many of the northerners are unable to
understand the culture here and be accepted. Once you understand how to
pronounce these words and actually use them everyday then you understand
something about the culture here and you are accepted. 
I can say this as I migrated from the north (Iowa) 15 years ago and,
like Joe, have loved every minute.

Joyce 
Texian and Texicans are words used here, just like y'all and y'all
y'all.
These words have arisen because many of the northerners are unable to
understand the culture here and be accepted. Once you understand how to
pronounce these words and actually use them everyday then you understand
something about the culture here and you are accepted. 
I can say this as I migrated from the north (Iowa) 15 years ago and,
like Joe, have loved every minute.

Hi Yan,

I have had success with the Phospho-p44/42 Map Kinase antibody from
Cell Signaling Technology-www.cellsignal.com. It stains both Erk1 and
Erk2. Order # is 9101
I use it at 1:50 dilution for 1 hour. For antigen retrieval, use pH 10
buffer.

Good luck,

Col. Travis, the Texian commander at the Alamo, insisted that he was
fighting only for the restoration of constitutional government in Mexico
(i.e. the Constitution of 1824).  After his death, the war became a war
for
independence.

[This is similar to the U.S. and Haitian wars of independence, which

Didn't I read that CAP has a regulation that a lab cannot charge for
more than 
one of each immuno on the same case, e.g., cannot charge for two S-100's
on the 
same case, even though they're on different blocks?   Does anyone know

Hi
Have no idea whose name should be attributed to this but..
Slides to water.
We have 30mg of Fast Blue BB base and 6mg of alpha Naphthyl
Chloroacetate The first dissolved in 0.2M pH 7.6 TrisMalate buffer, the
second in a few drops of Dimethyl Formamide and then added to the
buffer. All is mixed and the slides immersed for 20-30mins.  37deg C is
fine but go for a shorter time to avoid background. 
Counterstain say Neutral Red, rinse then dehydrate rapidly and mount.
Take too long in alcohol or waiting to be mounted may abolish the
staining.
Check hazards.  Do risk assessment 

To save calculations, could look in Bancroft and Stevens appendix for
buffer table.where dissolve 2.42g TRIS + 2.32g Maleic acid in 100ml of
water
then 0.8g NaOH in 100ml of water
25ml of first plus 29ml of alkali give pH7.6

Hi karen,
 
My understanding of this reg is that you can only bill once for each
specimen part. For example if you have a case such in multiple parts
(i.e. a colon cancer with the colon as part one, a liver biopsy as part
two and an abdominal wall met as part three) if you order S 100 on
blocks A, B and C of part one you can only bill for one. But if you
order an s 100 on a colon slide from part one and and s 100 on the liver
biopsy from part two you can bill for each. I belive the same is true
for special stains like AFB and fungal stains. ect. If anyone has
different info I would appreciate your interpretation.

Didn't I read that CAP has a regulation that a lab cannot charge for
more
than one of each immuno on the same case, e.g., cannot charge for two
S-100's on the same case, even though they're on different blocks?
Does
anyone know where to find the justification for that?

Joyce
Texian and Texicans are words used here, just like y'all and y'all
y'all.
These words have arisen because many of the northerners are unable to
understand the culture here and be accepted. Once you understand how to
pronounce these words and actually use them everyday then you understand
something about the culture here and you are accepted.
I can say this as I migrated from the north (Iowa) 15 years ago and,
like Joe, have loved every minute.
Barry

Juan,
Is Texians a new word?  For the life of me can't find it in any
dictionary up North here!!!

You know Joe, we Texians were annexed unconstitutionally.  We should
just take up arms and re-revolt against the yankee oppressors( I know
you're a transplanted yankee, but we're willing to overlook it).  If Key
West can secede why can't we?  We were never formally asked to join the
United States of Aggression.  LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS!  REMEMBER
THE ALAMO!

you might want to hit the delete button on this one. I'm prepared to get
flamed and have my registries revoked, but I have to get something off
my
chest.
	As some of you may know, ASCP is now in charge of handling the
Pathologists' Assistant exam, of which I am partaking in. Not only did
they
raise the exam fee from $150 to $450, we now have to know ICD-9 codes,
not
to mention Robbin's Pathology book (which is heavy enough to break a
vase. I
know this because it fell out of my hand the other night and shattered a
vase.) Have you seen the ICD-9 book? Rather extension reading if I do
say so
myself.
	Moving on, after January 2008, one has to be a graduate of an
accredited
program. Well, that's just dandy because we in the South do not have any
programs to attend because they are all up North or on the East Coast.
Are
we going to have to repeat the 1860's again? Are we in the South going
to
have to resort to revolting and have demonstration marches? Do I sense
some
discrimination here? Am I too sensitive? (I think not)
	It took us two years here just to get a Histology program up and
going at
the local community college. How long is it going to take to start a
master's level program?
	There, I've said my piece. thank you for letting me get thing
off my chest.
Oh yeah, I'm collecting money to replace the vase I broke. Until then,
I'll
be sleeping with my dogs. Which is okay, but the fleas are killing me.
	One other thing, I like Swiss, Muenster, Colby, Cheddar (sharp).
	as always, the opinion of this author does not reflect the
opinions of the
employees, their children, mothers, lawyers, etc, etc, etc.
