Nephrotic syndrome is a condition often characterized by the following:
Very high levels of protein in the urine
Low levels of protein in the blood
Swelling, especially around the eyes, feet, and hands
High cholesterol
Generally, nephrotic syndrome results from damage to the kidneys' glomeruli—the tiny blood vessels that filter waste and excess water from the blood and send them to the bladder as urine. Glomeruli keep protein in the body. When they are damaged, protein leaks into the urine. Healthy kidneys allow less than 1 gram of protein to spill into the urine in a day. In nephrotic syndrome, the glomeruli allow 3 grams or more of protein to leak into the urine during a 24-hour period. Nephrotic syndrome may occur with many diseases, including the kidney diseases caused by type 2 diabetes. What causes nephrotic syndrome is not always known.
Nephrotic syndrome is actually a set of symptoms and not a disease in and of itself. The following are the most common symptoms of nephrotic syndrome. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
High blood pressure
Swelling in the feet and hands, and around the eyes
Susceptibility to infections
The symptoms of nephrotic syndrome may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for nephrotic syndrome may include the following:
Measurement of blood pressure
Measurement of blood cholesterol levels
Measurement of protein levels in the urine
Measurement of protein levels in the blood
Specific treatment for nephrotic syndrome will be determined by your doctor based on:
Your age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the disease
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your opinion or preference
Treatment generally focuses on identifying the underlying cause, if possible, and reducing the following (often through diet, medications, or both):
Blood pressure
Protein in urine
ACE inhibitors (one type of blood pressure medication) may be used in people with diabetes to protect the kidneys. Consult your doctor to determine if an underlying cause for your condition can be identified. Only after this determination is made can an appropriate treatment protocol be established. A special diet can help some people delay the need for dialysis.

Every now and then, I hear myself giving advice as a parent that I realize I should be following myself.
Such an incident occurred most recently a couple of weeks ago, as my two younger daughters played in their second-to-last softball game of the fall season.
This season marked their first experience playing softball, so the game was new to them. Fortunately, they had an excellent — and very patient — coach, who taught them the basics of throwing, catching, hitting and running.
Hitting proved to be quite challenging for both of my girls. They did a great job in practice, but once game time rolled around, each girl seemed content to keep the bat on her shoulder and watch pitch after pitch fly by.
Partially this was due to the fact that other young, relatively inexperienced players were pitching, so balls were much more prevalent than strikes. But it was also due, at least in part, to fear — fear of getting hit with the ball, fear of striking out, fear of trying something new and difficult.
So, in the middle of one inning, after they had both come up to bat and once again failed to swing, I called them over for just a second before they took the field.
"You're doing great," I said, "but I think the coach really wants you to swing when you see good pitches. Don't be afraid to swing, and when you do, swing hard. I'd much rather have you strike out swinging than stand there watching the pitches go by."
They both nodded and smiled, then ran out to the field.
As I watched the rest of the inning unfold, I thought about the advice I had given and wondered, "Am I practicing what I just preached? Am I swinging, and swinging hard, when new opportunities come along? Or am I content to stand with the bat on my shoulder as the pitches go by?"
Truthfully, I think I've done a little of both during my lifetime. More than 20 years ago, when I was dating a girl I had grown to love, I overcame my fears and took a big risk in order to live close to her during a particular summer. I lifted the bat off my shoulder and swung away.
Fortunately, that girl later married me. Twenty-one years of wedded bliss later (at least for me!), I'm confident that, in that case, I hit a home run.
That same woman encouraged me to be bold once again just more than a year ago, when an opportunity for me to change careers came along. I swallowed my fear of failure and took a swing. I'd like to think I swung hard.
Thirteen months later, I'm not sure I've hit a home run. I'm still inexperienced in my new job. I don't think I'm always meeting my goal of exceeding the expectations, every day, of those for whom and with whom I work. But at least I made contact and put the ball in play, and I'm hopeful that I'll eventually round all of the bases.
In the meantime, I've found that sometimes it's more difficult to swing away at the routine pitches of everyday life. Whether due to the forces of inertia, laziness or fear, I feel that I sometimes let a good pitch slip by, knowing after it hits the catcher's mitt that I really should have taken a crack at it.
This could happen when one of my team members at work asks me a question, and I don't work hard enough to find the best answer. Or when a challenging task arises, and I opt to let someone else handle it, even though I know it will help me learn and grow if I try to take care of it myself.
I occasionally have the same problem at home. Sometimes, when one of the children asks for help with homework and I'm feeling particularly tired after a long day at work, I opt to head to the bench and call for a pinch hitter. (My wife, who seems to have limitless energy, is always willing to answer that call. But she really shouldn't have to.)

United Nations Research Guide
This guide will suggest background resources and tips on navigating United Nations documents.
United Nations Research Guide
The United Nations replaced the League of Nations in 1945. The United Nations Charter was signed on June 26, 1945 at San Francisco (3 Bevans 1153, UN Yearbook). The mandate of the United Nations includes peace and security, economic and social development, human rights, decolonization and international law. It is composed of six principle organs : the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the Trusteeship Council, the International Court of Justice, and the Secretariat. Currently there are 193 member nations.
Basic Components of the United Nations
There are many committees within the United Nations, but for our purposes, we will focus on the six primary parts of the United Nations, giving some additional detail to what each one does:
- General Assembly
- Security Council
- Economic and Social Council
- Trusteeship Council
- International Court of Justice
- Secretariat
Background Information

Other Research Guides
Before we get to the meat and potatoes of this research guide, here are some additional online sources dealing with the UN that may also be helpful in your research quest.
- ASIL Guide to Electronic Resources for International Law: United Nations
A very good research guide on electronic sources for the UN. - United Nations Documentation Research Guide
This guide was prepared by the UN Dag Hammarskjöld Library. - United Nations Documents (Stanford)
A good basic guide to UN documents. Keep in mind that the call numbers do not apply to our law library. - United Nations Collection at Yale University Library Government Documents and Information Center
- Research Guides: United Nations (Duke Law Library)
- Research Guide: The United Nations (Columbia Law Library)
- Researching the United Nations: Finding the Organization's Internal Resource Trails (GlobaLex)
Documents and Publications
There are four basic types of UN documents: periodicals, sales publications, mimeographed/masthead documents, and official records.
- Periodicals (like the UN Chronicle INTL KZ4945 .U564 and available electronically through a variety of databases (GULC only)).
- Sales publications include yearbooks and annuals (Yearbook of the United Nations INTL KZ4947 .U65 and electronically and Yearbook on Human Rights INTL K3236.6 .Y4 and electronically 1/1946- 1/1988 through HeinOnline (GULC Only)) serials, monographs and special studies.
- Mimeographed documents include provisional records of meetings, reports, resolutions, and other working documents of the UN organs. Some are republished in final corrected form in the official records or sales publications.
- Official records contain the meeting records of the UN organs (usually summary records, with the exception of the records of General Assembly and First Committee and Security Council meetings which are verbatim--"proces-verbaux"), annexes contain the text of agenda items (papers submitted to the organs for discussion), and supplements contain reports of subsidiary organs and resolutions. For more information on documents, see the section above on research guides.
The best place to start your research is the online database, Official Document System of the United Nations. It is the official repository for documents published by the United Nations. The full text of documents dating back to 1992 is accessible in pdf in all official languages of the United Nations - Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. Documents are stored in two databases, UN Documents, which includes documents back to 1992; and UN Resolutions, which includes resolutions of the General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council and Trusteeship Council from 1946-1993. Daily Journals from New York and Vienna are also available.
If you cannot find what you need in the United Nations Document System, the next best place to look is the READEX microfiche set (in International Media), used in conjunction with AccessUN (Georgetown Law Only) To use the microfiche set, you must have the document symbol and the date of the document. Use AccessUN to find or verify the document number. Then select the drawer with the year you need, then choose the appropriate organ (General Assembly, Security Council, etc.) and look for the symbol (located at the top right corner of the fiche). A fiche copier is available in International Media as well as Media Services on the third floor of the Williams library. Keep in mind that the specialized agency documents are not included in the document collection.
The Internet is a viable vehicle for locating the full-text of selected documents, see the UN Documentation Centre for General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council, and Secretariat documents.
Document Symbols
Most UN documents collections are arranged by the document symbol. The basic principle is that documents are identified by the issuing body. The symbols are composed of capital letters and numbers. The first letter(s) indicates the main body of the UN (A/ is the General Assembly, E/ is ECOSOC, etc.). Specific symbols after the first slash indicate the sub-body within the main body (/CN is a commission, /WP is working party, etc.).
The classification system of the United Nations is explained (with lists of the abbreviations) in many of the research guides mentioned above (for example How to Find the Law KF240 .C5383 1989 and Guide to International Legal Research INTL KZ1234 .G85). The UNDOC: Current Index (MFiche UN DOCS ST/LIB/SER.M/CUM) lists new document symbols. See also the Document Symbols section of the Dag Hammarskjöld library's research guide on UN Documentation. You can also identify committees, commissions, etc. by their document series symbols by using this guide.

A nice up and over.
Trace the peaceful banks of Little Black Branch to White Rocks Mountain on this 8.5-mile dayhike. Other highlights: Swimming at Little Rock Pond and nice vista views.
Earmark a long weekend for this 20.9-miler that connects Massachusetts to Vermont. Highlights include: sweet lookout views and a walk on The Long Trail--the country's first long--distance trail.
Swimming is not a common word on the AT, but a highlight on this 16.5-mile hike at Griffith Lake. There is a fun rock scramble on Baker Peak too.
Roll over piney ridges into lovely valleys and lonely pastures on this 21.3-mile leg. Don't miss: Take side trip to Cloudland Farm where organic ice cream is only a few bucks away.
Go from muddy pastures to riverside views to rocky summits on this 26-mile segment.
The hotspot on this 21.1-miler is Glastenbury Mountain, a 3,748-foot summit that Native Americans believe is cursed and a place where several people went missing in the mid-1900s.
This loop lumps a lot into 4.9 miles: big climbs (2,200 feet), panoramic views (from New York to New Hampshire), and alpine plants rarely found in the Northeast.
Check out the largest patch of alpine tundra in Vermont on this 4.8-mile out-and-back to the highest mountain in the state.
At 9.9 miles, this multi-use loop gently climbs an old logging road crisscrossing Cotton Brook, then moves up the banks of a reservoir with dramatic views of the Worcester Range.
Climb less than 1,000 ft. to craggy overlooks of Lake Willoughby and Mount Pisah on this 8.3-mile out-and-back in Willoughby State Park.

Since it's been connected with wye's, there's no reason that a double wye wouldn't also serve the same purpose.
Show us pictures with the power pipe in place. I'm thinking of adding one on my place too.
I am prepping to install a "power pipe" for drain water heat recovery. To get the longest (most efficient) power pipe, I would like to put a double-y fitting on my stack in place of the higher single-wye fitting, and then connect both 2" drains to that higher fitting, giving me about an extra 10". Here's a pic of the existing situation (sorry the pic is sideways - the 3" copper pipe with the 2 wye fittings on it is vertical):
Anyone know if this is permitted by code? Is a double-wye the best option? If I do use some double fitting, do I need to worry about changing the height of the 2" abs connection to the stack? - I mean if it connects to the stack at a higher point, any chance I could run into problems with the fixture?
Thanks in advance,

OK, so if I am safe with the double-wye in place of the higher single-wye (in my pic), then I am thinking to cut the 3" copper pipe on the horizontal run - before the 90-elbow and attach PVC with a 90 elbow, a double-wye. Then I'd attach the top of the 3" power-pipe to the small vertical part of the PVC, and the bottom of the power-pipe to copper that's left after I cut. That way I avoid having to solder a bunch of 3" copper, which would take me a while, since I don't do it every day. Any possible problems with this plan? Can someone tell me the most reliable connectors for the PVC-copper connections?
Thanks again,
p.s. I'll post the pic of the power pipe when I'm done. It's going to take me a few weeks, though, until I can do the install. Just doing my research now so I order the right length of power-pipe.
Mission makes a copper by PVC coupling. That's like the one on the right.
You can always replace copper with PVC for home use.
Copper can wear out anyway. I've had to replace sink lines and toilet bends done in copper for that reason.

6 1/2" Polypropylene Cone WooferConsidered one of our most popular general purpose replacement drivers, this woofer offers very good power handling and low frequency response for its size.
I bought this to use in the factory sub enclosure in my 1997 Lincoln Town Car with the JBL Premium sound system. The factory sub was completely blown since before I bought the car, so having some bass is a nice change since I spend a lot of time in the car. I'm actually pretty impressed with this woofer, considering its not technically a sub, it handles low frequencies quite well. It is also nearly identical to the original sub, and fit in the factory box without modification. There is a lot of misinformation out there about the JBL system, and sub failures are common, so if anyone needs a new sub in their Town Car, look no further.
bought 2 speakers 9 years ago. One recently died. Was pleased with the quality so I bought an identical replacement.
I had a blown woofer in a 20 year old Polk Audio Studio Monitor Series speaker I wanted to get back up and running. These MCM woofers fit the specs. Note: I did have to cut the inside opening in the cabinet for the speaker by 1/8" to meet the required cut out. Covered the tweeter with masking tape and had at it. After doing that, it dropped in, I drilled some pilot holes and screwed it down. Powered it up on the stereo I couldn't believe the sound. Comparing it with the other original there was no difference. The bass was actually better with the new speaker. Now it's like new. Love it. Thanks MCM.
I purchased 8 of these for a mobile audio system, they were installed 4 per door wired @ 2ohm stereo off a 300w x2 amplifier. The smoothness and warmth displayed by these drivers was perfect. I had friends running speakers costing 10x what mine did and they were amazed at the sound I was producing. If my current vehicle would support this same setup I would hands down do it again.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
The groundhog saw its shadow on Feb. 2, but somehow Mother Nature seems to have forgotten that it is 'officially' spring.
Bundling up with layered clothing, coats, hats and even gloves has marked the first few days of spring thus far, with predictions of snowfall over the next few days. I just wonder, what happened to spring?
The winter seasons that were marked with snow, perfect for sledding, seem to have drifted into just memories. Global warming has been blamed for many weather trends over the past decade, including the lack of huge snowfalls that would cancel school for several consecutive days. But with modern technology and more equipment to clear the roadways during snow and ice, school goes on most of the time during the winter months. And we live without those beautiful six inches of snow that prohibit me from showing my grandchildren how to build igloos and snowmen.
Adjusting to the lack of winter snows, I set my sights for gardening in the spring. I want to show my grandchildren the importance of growing vegetables, relishing the taste of a homegrown tomato fresh out of the garden. There is little better than a good, ripe, homegrown tomatos still warm from the summer sun!
Since I can't show my grandchildren how to build igloos, snowmen or how to sled, I instead set out to show them how to plant, how to cherish the growth process, and the joys of gardening, which also seems to be a thing of the past.
The ground we've used for a garden seems tired and growing a decent crop of corn has become impossible. Beans, however, thrive every year, as do onions and tomatoes over the past few seasons. The onions are usually no challenge, but I have to guard the tomato crop against the woodland animals who often infuriate me by leaving with beautifully ripened tomatoes with the bottom bitten off.
The one good thing about the early spring's cold weather so far is that I managed to set out four rows of peas this year. Peas thrive in cold weather but I always seem to miss the mark to set them out at the appropriate time. Although my aunt always said to plant peas on March 17, the 2013 almanac is clear in instructing that peas be planted on March 1. Peas are usually a crop I set out with other garden seeds in April and inevitably, don't produce well -- probably for that reason. Co-worker and gardener Carol Mills always tells me that I wait too late every year, and gives updates of how her crop thrives while my later crop withers away into just a few pods that wouldn't constitute enough to include in a bowl of soup.
My plan for an early pea setting came by my son who took advantage of a pretty, warm Saturday to till an area for my early crop. I was determined to challenge Carol this year. Unfortunately, I let the pretty day slip by and the rain and cold that followed put a screeching halt to my plans.
The continued cold weather, however, inspired me to try the peas, although I was already past the days specified by my aunt and the almanac.
So I put on my "grubbies" -- sweat pants, sweat shirt, rubber boots, a toboggan, gloves and coat -- and let my gardening hoe rip into the muddy ground to define some not-so-straight rows that would hopefully evolve into my own bumper crop of peas this year.
But even that had its own challenge. My two small dogs, Sally and Sam, were more interested in my planting than my grandchildren usually are. They curiously watched my gardening expertise, following along and beside me as I tackled the clotty ground. It was only after I was dropping the peas into the second row that I noticed Sally was chewing on something that crunched before I realized she'd been stealing some peas as I carefully dropped three at a time at certain intervals along the crooked rows. I immediately yelled at her to stop, which was virtually a fruitless effort at that point, because apparently she likes the crunch and taste of the peas.
I've threatened in the past to concoct some type of screen to ward off the birds and woodland animals from my garden, but I never thought I'd have to do it because of the dogs.
And now that I have set out my peas, I'm more than ready for the global warming trend to kick in at any time!

Prosgood car with power. comfortable Conssmall if your 6 feet tall
Fun. — a generally fun car to drive, good handling and fuel economy for the power it puts out. very nice on long trips the seats are a beige color so they dont overheat in the sun and are heated for the winter. Primary Use: Commuting to work

2003 Volvo S40 1.9T
ProsGood power provided by the turbo ConsReally high maintenance cost, the aft seats have a very limited space.
Good For Handling — The car is very stable on the road and also easy and fun to drive in the city. Fuel consumption is about 26mpg (80%road + 20%city). The main issue is maintenance, once something is broken you won't find many places to fix your car, if you need to take it to the dealer you will have to pay a lot to get it fix, also sometimes the parts are hard to find and really expensive when compared with regular brands. I have owned this car for about 4 years, the first three years everything was perfect so I was very happy with it, but then the brakes failed, then the CV joints, then some air hoses, then the turbo... so I stop using it and I plan to get rid of it. Maybe it is good to have this car if you live in Europe, where I guess there are more parts and car garages available for this brand, but it is very expensive to pay the maintenance if you live in US. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

2003 Volvo S40 1.9T
ProsStyling, speed Consnothing to mention
Fun To Drive, Period. — Great, fast car. Has huge "ooooo, Cool Volvo" appeal! The interior is well designed and comfortable. I've been a big fan of how the windshield does not slope waayyy down the hood of the car like some of these newer 4-doors. The vantage point from the steering wheel of a S40 can only be topped by a Mercedes-Benz. Plus the 1.9T acceleration always surprises my passengers! Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2003 Volvo S40 1.9T
ProsBest as a long distance cruiser ConsNot really built for fun, ultimately dull
'new' S40 Trumps Apart From The Boot Space. Only 2.0d Is Better Engine Though. — The low pressure turbo engine is a marvel. 40 mpg is do-able but performance is up too. Is the sort of thing they've been doing to diesels to make them competive, and now VW are putting them on their petrol engines. Shame Volvo don't do it anymore. The car is based on a Mitsubishi Charisma and it's the Japanese bits that make it feel less solid than a 'proper' Volvo, at least it has the legendary Volvo seats. Good news on the 440 mile trip I regularily do. The first curvy Volvo at the time, but only time I feel good about the looks are from behind when I remember the hours I spent racing around Donnington in one on TOCA (PS1). FOR: Comfy, real world quick, huge boot, 109k miles and still reliable AGAINST: Dull handling, noisy cabin, needs brake upgrade Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Backlight bleed
I've seen a bunch of post about blacklighht bleed. I don't know anything about it though but is the backlight bleed on my imac bad? Should I return it?
Thanks |

The top left and top right look normal to me (IPS viewing angle deficiencies). The areas in the lower central region, though, don't look good.

It's strange isn't it. That all the iMacs with backlight bleed have it at the bottom only!
My 2 returned ones had it only at the bottom and my current one has it slightly! Seems to fall in line with the yellowing issue being towards the bottom also!! |

I've just bought my first iMac and was wanting to check with the forum if I have backlight bleed and if so if the amount is 'normal'. The top two images were taken from 2 feet away at 100% brightness while the second two are with 50% brightness. I'm obviously a complete newbie ti macs so not really sure what to expect. With £2000 missing from my bank account I'd expect perfection but after reading the forum, I doubt that is possible. Thanks |

Cunick that looks excellent to me. If you move to the left-of-central of the iMac, the top left corner "brightness" will disappear, and the same with the right side if you move to the right of center. That is NOT bleed, - just the IPS glow. The slight area at the bottom at 100% brightness is just that - so slight, and let's face it, not seen under normal usage.
I wish Apple would make a support document about the IPS panels and their typicalities. |

Most of that is normal as the ips panels used in iMacs dont have a A-TW polarizer. These are only found in very high end standalone panels. You do have slight bleed at the bottom but it looks well within tolerance.

I'm no expert, but that last screen looks pretty good to me. As others have said, there's viewing angles issues with these IPS screens, and when tilting your head the slightly warmer tint in the bottom of the screen goes away. I also have some slight backlight bleed in the corners when cranking up the brightness, but it's mostly a viewing angle issue. I did not get image rentention, scratches, dead pixels etc. I would not risk getting a new unit with one of these issues, just because you want the illusive "perfect" iMac screen.
Of course, some people here have serious issues with their iMacs which should be addressed. I'm just saying some here obsess over minute details, and that "perfect" screen is pretty hard to come by, if possible at all. Maybe if people that claim they have an iMac 27'' with 0% backlight bleeding could post a picture of their screen at 100% brightness? I doubt we'll see it...

Do you see that the left side of the screen is slightly yellow and the other is bluish green. If not I would say you got a great screen with good blacks and acceptable back light bleed. Ips glow is always going to be the worst but nothing can be done about that.
Ow and btw I was refering to cranks image. So you should do one like that to assess your screen properly. It will also give you a good reference if you choose to exchange.

Rock Revival Gary Slim Straight Jean 3 3
LOVE these jeans! From the first time I put them on I was in love with these jeans. I tried them on in the store and was not leaving without them! Since then I have picked up some Ronnie jeans and love them too. The Ronnie jeans are a little stretchier fitting than the Garys but both fit great and the slim is perfect. Not so slim I look like I'm trying to be too young but slim enough to not be baggy! GREAT JEANS! I love the stitching too!!! March 5, 2012
Love the fit My new Rocks fit great. ordering online was very easy. I prefer to shop in the stores because I get a punch card for $10 off a future purchase. The Buckle is the only store I buy my clothing from, so the punch cards are a benefit every time I shop. January 14, 2014
didn't fit right too tight I like rock revivals a lot but these just haven't been a pair I like I wish I could send them back they are extremely tight other than that I do like them a lot. June 5, 2012

Very coarse. Like some other reviewers, i advise you: get those diamond sharpeners, or a steel beam and stick-it sandpaper.
It is a reliable and durable tool! Sometimes I use it for leveling different parts, not only frets. The main measure to know the possibilities of this tool and do not spoil it.
To reiterate what others have already said, the file is very coarse. The size is good and the handle is nice, but it does leave quite a lot of work as far as crowning and polishing goes.
I wish this could be made with HIGH CARBON Black Steel, so's it will last a bit longer. This would be great!
I have a 6in. The handle gives good control but I feel that it removes too much material. Be careful and use only little pressure. On a recent project, I started with this file but I finished the levelling with a med-fine diamond sharpening stone (approx 2x6) which gave me much more control. If I were you, I would invest in a general purpose diamond sharpening stone - more expensive but more versatile and easier to use.
Removes material fast, but I found it leaves a VERY rough finish. But not so much of a problem if you are using a sand paper fret leveller afterwards.
My prefered file for fret jobs, tested all other similar files on ebay; no one matches the quality of that file. I also uses a lot the baby size (3"), that I found useful for partial refretting / repair jobs.
The 6" fret leveler is an awesome, well constructed beautiful feeling tool. Top marks Stewmac!
Lawn mower blade from hardware store cut better for me. A lot to pay for a wood handle.
Did my very first fret level with this and it turned out great. Easy to use.

Gotta give the edge to Bama...
They act like they've been 'there' before. A&M acts like they are entitled; much like their QB with the silver spoon lodged in his 'wrecked 'em'.
All I know is this will be one helluva game....
Texas A&M does not plan to make Johnny Manziel available for interviews this week.—
George Schroeder (@GeorgeSchroeder) September 10, 2013
Considering the precedent, it shouldn't come as a surprise at this point that Texas A&M will not make quarterback Johnny Manziel available to the media this week. It's not as though the Aggies are playing a big game or anything … oh, wait.
Manziel is able to speak for himself — his cover stories alone are proof of that — but he continues to be kept him from the media during game week. I'm not sure who the Aggies are more afraid of: reporters or their redshirt sophomore quarterback. Johnny Football won a Heisman and is the most recognizable player in the nation. His muzzle needs to be taken off.
UPDATE: It appears Manziel was the one requesting not to speak.
Sumlin said Manziel's attorneys and family have advised him not to talk.
— George Schroeder (@GeorgeSchroeder) September 10, 2013
This poses a couple of questions: What did Manziel think the media would ask him leading into the Alabama game? And why should his teammates and the coaching staff have to talk about him instead of letting him speak for himself?
Now if you really want to talk about exploitation, at least help him develop a skill he will need at next level.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) September 10, 2013
While Manziel's gag order is being presented as for his own good, we're now in year two of the Aggies' star being withheld from the media. Manziel's decision or not, his disappearing act certainly won't help him in the future — whether that includes the NFL or something else.
Manziel is clearly capable of conversing with reporters, and if he doesn't talk, writers will find their own storylines to fill in the gaps. That's a dangerous position to be in, especially for a player who has made headlines all year round.
Honesty and transparency don't hurt as much as some players think; if anything, they keep misinformed opinions from being founded based purely on speculation.

Allison Petrozziello (IDSC '2008)
IDCE Fellow
Allison Petrozziello (USA) has a B.A. in Womens Studies and Spanish from Smith College. After graduating, she traveled the world as a volunteer Spanish teacher aboard a Japanese NGO cruise ship called Peace Boat. Eventually the currents brought her to Honduras, where she was a municipal development Peace Corps volunteer. There she focused primarily on womens community and political participation, as well as training local development practitioners on the incorporation of a gender-equitable approach in their programming. She spent the last year working on a gender training and technical assistance project for USAIDs Office of Women in Development in Washington, DC, as well as pursuing her research interests around gender and remittance practices of Central American transnational families.


text: Its not PDF compatible. The problem with PDF's is that only Adobe and Ghost Script are available to decode them into a raster format so there is no freely available method of getting at the data in a PDF without paying a very large sum of money for the privilege. What I was thinking was whether it would be possible to hold the original maps in illustrator - possibly with smaller number of hexes to keep the file size down. You could export them as high res bitmaps like PNG's and ViewingDale can collect all of the high res bitmaps up and stitch the whole world together as a seamless expanse. It handles lots of high res images better than most other programs. You can then export a bitmap of any section of the world (covering several smaller illustrator regions) as a very high res image - certainly 600dpi or much more. If your going to send to printers then maybe you need it all in vector format but I have gone to commercial printers with high res bitmaps. The usual reason why they don't like bitmaps is because they are not high enough res. If thats the only reason then it wouldn't apply here. But I would understand if you needed to keep the finals in vector format for some other reason.

Are you an MBA student looking to follow up on the initial interview or phone conversation with Disney, Goldman or Deloitte? Are you a college applicant that would like to thank your interviewer for his/her time? Or are you a job applicant hoping to land an interview, after a conversation at a networking event?
The follow-up email is becoming accepted etiquette, not just in the job or internship interview process, but also in the college and graduate admissions process. The follow-up email provides an opportunity to leave a lasting impression on your interviewer, and even tip the scales. With this in mind, we have put together some helpful hints for writing an effective follow-up email:
-Keep it crisp and direct. Because follow-up emails are now so commonplace, the tendency for most interviewers will be to skim through your email. Don't waste your time with phrases like 'I believe I could excel...' and other formulaic niceties.
-Reference specific parts of your interview. You want to use this email to build on a dialogue, and make your exchange more than just another interview. Make a distinctive impression.
-Structure: Think of it as a condensed cover letter. Opening line (thank you). Paragraph (insert something very novel and reflective). Closing (thank you--looking forward). Signature.
-Avoid insubstantial drivel and meaningless email etiquette (Thank you in advance for your time and consideration/ I am a self-starter or self-motivator). Say something new, something fresh.
-Don't repeat your resume bullets or your cover letter--it's time to show you can reflect, analyze and think on your feet.
-Time is of the essence. Email your contact within 24 hrs so that you stay fresh in their memory. If you're on the fence, an impeccably written email may (emphasis on may) cause your interviewer to reconsider your candidacy.
-Make sure your full contact information is clearly listed in your signature. If you are sending an updated copy of a document, like a resume, make sure that the document is clearly labeled to make your recipient's job easier. Show that you have put yourself in your interviewer's shoes cannot hurt your candidacy.
-Check for typos. Always.
We hope these considerations help you as you write the dreaded but crucial follow-up email!!!

Split, the imperial city
Split, the imperial city
Pedestrian, 9 km, 2 daysSplit is your ideal starting point for taking a boat to explore the most beautiful islands of the Adriatic. This ancient Roman city has an exceptional Imperial palace as well as a charming old quarter that lends itself to beautiful walks in the fishing quarter in particular.
Customise this route and add it to My travel bookRiva
Diocletian's Palace
The palace interior was designed to a cruciform plan, with access via the decumanus and the cardo. The north wing housed soldiers and servants; the south wing contained the peristyle, temples and the imperial apartments. The interior configuration of the emperor's quarters can be imagined by visiting the underground chambers, as the two layouts were similar. The ethnographic museum, containing a collection of traditional Dalmatian costumes, is a must for visitors.
This magnificent peristyle is lined with colonnades on three sides. To the south, they opened onto the Emperor's apartments. The entrance porch, framed by two 16C-17C chapels, can still be seen. To the east, the colonnade houses a sphinx (15C BC) brought back by Diocletian from his Egyptian campaign (297-98). Finally, to the west, Luxor café is a perfect example of how the palace's architecture has evolved: the Renaissance façade is 15C, but inside the circular outline of the Temple of Venus is clearly visible.
Temple of Jupiter
The fourth palace gate, to the west, became the most important from the 16C when the Venetian district grew in size. It was then the meeting point between the palace town and the new district. Swamped by later constructions, its double-entrance security system remains and it gives an idea of the immensity of the palace's walls. The guards lived above the outer door. In the Middle Ages, it was the only door, with that of the port, to remain open.
You will need to move back a little to admire the scope of this façade. It was the most important of the four façades, because it was the first seen by travellers arriving from Salona. Its towers have since crumbled, but their position can be guessed. Note the richly carved Golden Door. In the 12C, a tiny chapel of St Martin was built above it. The statue is of Gregory of Nin who requested that Croatian instead of Latin be used during services in 929. Behind is a steeple, one of the last vestiges of a Benedictine convent.
Eastern façade of the palace
The 215m-long eastern façade of the palace of Diocletian is still intact and will give you an idea of the proportions of this edifice built beginning in 298. It has retained its two square corner towers (the southeast one is intact), and the Silver Gate, bricked up in the Middle Ages and reopened and restored after the Second World War. On the opposite side of the road, the massive block of Contarini bastion was built during the Venetian period (17C) as protection against the Turks.
Basement of Diocletian's palace
It is thought that these underground rooms housed the slaves. In the Middle Ages, the rooms were filled with materials moved out of the way to build the palace apartments. Cleared out in 1956, they revealed amazingly thick walls and lovely vaulted ceilings. Their location has enabled experts to imagine the layout of the imperial apartments above. The central section leads from the Bronze Gate to the palace peristyle. Today it is the scene of arts and crafts stalls.
Cathedral of St Domnius
This modern, almost entirely glazed building contains the remains of Croatia's medieval heritage, mainly from the Romanesque era. Fragments of chancel screens, baldaquins, lintels, altars and sarcophagi, dating from 9C-10C, are exhibited in a room full of light, providing an insight into the scope and breadth of Romanesque decorative arts.
Square of the Radic Brothers
Many people still refer to the square as the Fruit Square, because it was here that the huge fruit and vegetable market was held up until the 1960s. Today Milesi palace, north side, an 18C Baroque building, can still be seen. You will also see Ivan Meštrovic's statue of the poet, Marko Marulic (1450-1524), who was born in Split. Finally look out for the Venetian castel (1435) which was part of the defence system created under the Venetians to withstand the Turks.
Square of the People
This attractive square is lined with Baroque palaces dating from the Venetian era, built on the flanks of the hillside. Admire their lovely carved skylights and take the time to contemplate the mid-16C former town hall (Gradska vijecnica). Destroyed by Allied bombardments in 1943, it was rebuilt exactly as it was before, with shaded arcades and a loggia (today glazed), where official declarations were made in former times.
Fishing district
Archaeological museum
This view point is next to the terrace of the Vidilica Caffe. It commands a unique point of view of the port, the Riva and the palace and campanile which stand out from the jungle of buildings in the new town. In the distance are two mountain ranges, Mosor, on the right and Kozjak, to the left. Between them stands the citadel of Klis on a rocky outcrop. Behind the café is a Jewish cemetery. The outline of the island of Brac can be seen off the coast.

That's it. I use it all the time. And you can use the sides to adjust Tune-o-matic tailpiece, it fits right in.
It's a little pricey for the simple tool that it is, but it's an indispensable tool that you will use often. Great for tightening or loosening nuts on control pots and output jacks that aren't recessed, and nuts on the tuners without having to unstring the instrument. I've also used it as a lever to remove stubborn control knobs (I put a small piece of felt under the spanner to prevent marring the finish). I'm sure it could even be used to pull bridge pins from acoustic guitars too.
Does everything it says. It's perfect for the toggle switch nut, and especially on the knurled nuts on a Les Paul bridge. Works great!
Great tool! Easy to use, handy, would recommend to anyone!
What a cool tool. Love this thing
I'm quite happy with this tool. Very effective for it's intended purpose. I feel confident that the switch, jack and pots on my guitar are secure.
Really good, pocket tool. I do not recommend using it in serious works.
this is the handiest tool in my bag...
This is a quick fix adjustment tool at best. Maybe something for a gigging player's road kit, but not something to risk using on a serious job.
I can't tell you how many times I reach for this tool. I work mostly on electric guitars and this tool gets used on nearly every job. The only thing I need to to do is label one end "tighty" and the other end "loosy"

Dietary Guidelines for Lowering Cholesterol in ChildrenThe American Academy of Pediatrics recommends dietary steps to lower cholesterol as follows:
This Step I Diet should be followed for at least 3 months. If cholesterol testing at that time does not show LDL cholesterol in an acceptable range, the child's health care professional may recommend a more restrictive Step 2 Diet. The Step 2 Diet requires detailed assessment of current eating patterns. Sometimes counseling with a health care professional or registered dietitian helps the family adjust. This Step 2 Diet restricts saturated fats to less than 7% of total calories from fat and no more than 200 mg per day of cholesterol in food. This eating pattern requires careful planning to make sure your child is getting the right balance of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Changes in diet that lower fat, particularly saturated fat, and cholesterol levels, combined with regular exercise and avoidance of smoking, have been shown to improve high cholesterol and LDL levels in children and teens. The good news is that if these changes are carried into adult life, they may reduce your child's risk for coronary heart disease. If you help your child reduce total cholesterol levels and LDL, you can greatly lower the risk for coronary heart disease. Must Read Articles Related to Cholesterol and Children
