Philadelphia Premium Outlets is a post-modern design which relates with the neo-classical design found in Philadelphia's historical architecture. This design is a reminder of the Philadelphia national heritage without regurgitating neo-classical design. From brick veneer knee walls below storefront to brick bond types and signage conditions, shoppers are reminded of historical Philadelphia. Even the opening details and the mullion design in portions of the storefront are reminiscent of what one would expect in a city with such rich history and architecture.

Gerald Celente - MF Global...What about Gold ETF GLD & HSBC?
Gerald Celente, Founder of Trends Research and the man many consider to be the top trends forecaster in the world, had some of his money in MF Global when the firm imploded. He is, understandably, not happy about it. KWN readers may not realize this but Celente would use a futures account to take physical delivery of gold and he was about to take delivery of gold on December contracts, "One of my methods of buying (gold) is to buy futures contracts. I buy futures, build up enough money in the account and then take delivery on the gold. I had enough money in my accounts to take delivery in December, which is what I kept telling the broker over and over, that I was taking delivery in December."
Gerald Celente continues:
"And I get this call that I have a margin call and I said, 'What, are you out of your mind? I have enough money to take possession.' (A voice on the other end of the line said) 'Well you don't anymore, they've decided to put the money with a Trustee.' They closed out a couple of my positions because I refused to send more money.
I heard this guy, this Terrance Duffy and I went back and looked him up. He was saying, 'In the history of the CME, going back to the days of the Depression, nobody ever lost a penny.' Well I have and so have a lot of other people. And he also said, 'We are the guarantors.' Well where are you now bigmouth Duffy?....
Continue reading the Gerald Celente interview below...
To hear legendary company builder Rob McEwen, original Founder of
Goldcorp discuss which company he invested $50 million
of his own money in and why click on the logo:
"Where's my money now Terry Boy? How about guaranteeing me my money? How come nobody is putting these people on perp walks? You have to be a fool to have your money in there now. I'll never do it again. This whole thing is a cooked game, Eric."
When asked what lessons he took away from this experience, Celente responded, "What I've been warning everybody about, and I've been playing it safe, I had a contract to take delivery (of gold). You can't trust anybody and the entire system is collapsing. What's the takeaway from this? It's to make sure you have every penny in your pocket."
Celente then brought up the gold ETF, "You have ETF's, 'Oh, there's a little error over here. We don't have your money. We don't have your positions.' I went to a meeting and the speaker said, (the gold) in the ETF GLD is supposed to be held by HSBC in different vaults. HSBC this guy said is the biggest shorter of gold. Well you figure it out, there the ones that are holding it and they are shorting it."
As you can imagine, Gerald Celente had a great deal to say in this interview, including his thoughts on future bank runs, Europe and much more. The KWN interview with Gerald Celente is available now and you can listen to it by CLICKING HERE.

DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
A star in a distant galaxy explodes as a supernova: while observing a galaxy known as UGC 9379 (left; image from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey; SDSS) located about 360 million light years away from Earth, the team discovered a new source of bright blue light (right, marked with an arrow; image from the 60-inch robotic telescope at Palomar Observatory). This very hot, young supernova marked the explosive death of a massive star in that distant galaxy.
A detailed study of the spectrum (the distribution of colors composing the light from the supernova) using a technique called "flash spectroscopy" revealed the signature of a wind blown by the aging star just prior to its terminal explosion, and allowed scientists to determine what elements were abundant on the surface of the dying star as it was about to explode as a supernova, providing important information about how massive stars evolve just prior to their death, and the origin of crucial elements such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen.

IEEE commits Wi-Fi refresh to standard
Wi-Fi standards have received a refresh that formalizes various technologies developed in the last four years under the IEEE's standards processes. With the publication of 802.11-2012, the standards body brings better security, smoother cellular handoff, QoS, and mesh networking into the fold. It's just the fourth major refresh …
Cellular handoff, QoS, Mesh networking AND high power?
Sounds like a mobile carrier's nightmare in the making.
Re: Mobile carrier's nightmare in the making
Pretty doubtful, since the standard still only has 3 "real" channels available without bleed over.
Re: Mobile carrier's nightmare in the making
Does it? It seems the standard includes the previous 2.4GHz and 5Ghz channels too.
I would check but unfortunately the standard costs $5 to download.
"improved radio resource management"
OK, now that bit definately gets my thumbs up. I hope this means that different APs / clients within range of each other co-operate on the limited bandwidth available, but maybe that would be assuming too much? Anyone with any knowledge of what they mean?
The other thing that I've been waiting for (if anyone has any way of putting suggestions), is for a security standard for open APs where the client conencts to the AP in the open, they exchange keys and then switch to encrypted communications. No need to enter a 500 character pass phrase in each bar/cafe, but your comms are reasonably secure (at least from WiFi slurpers) without any hastle, and it's fully automatic for the masses.
Re: "improved radio resource management"
"The other thing that I've been waiting for (if anyone has any way of putting suggestions), is for a security standard for open APs where the client conencts to the AP in the open, they exchange keys and then switch to encrypted communications. No need to enter a 500 character pass phrase in each bar/cafe, but your comms are reasonably secure (at least from WiFi slurpers) without any hastle, and it's fully automatic for the masses."
The big stumbling block has always been the actual key exchange. Unless this is secured, the communique can still be sniffed by sniffing the key. Don't look at it from the angle of someone passing and sniffing your communique but rather someone waiting for you to come in and then sniffing the conversation from start to fnish. As I understand it, physica only allws two ways to prevent a key from being sniffed: use an already-trusted channel (but that presents the chicken-egg problem when you're trying to establish a secure channel in the first place) or use a side channel (which may not be available to both parties).
Re: "improved radio resource management"
this can be solved (partially) by an obfuscated key exchange such that it looks like regular http traffic but is infact steganography - hiding the key exchange in plain sight. maybe simulating web traffic to several servers - but assembling a key from the contents of the pages sent/received. OBFUSCATION! is a key to many of the problems of the same focus on the start-up of a VPN SSL/SSH set-up.
of course, those work-factor redux agents might already have a patent on all of this?
personally I've just ordered a 20 watt amplifier for the 3.6GHz band and I'm going to enjoy seeing how far away I can send my SSID - New Zealand by Moonbounce would seem possible!!!!
Re: "improved radio resource management"
But you're trying to establish a secure channel between two strangers. The only way you can do that is by a standardized form of communication. Otherwise, the initial link can't be established. Furthermore, since it's a standardized communication between two untrusted individuals, there's no way to detect a third stranger butting into the conversation at the very beginning, either by sniffing out the key (since the key exchange is necessarily standardized, what Bob need to read the key is also what Mallory needs to intercept it--they're one and the same) or by hijacking the initial communique and performing a Man-In-The-Middle attack.
OMFG. 20W output....
what idiot rubber stamped this idea ??? and how much was he bribed to do it?
having a 20W signal blasting out of a monopole antenna is a disaster waiting to happen.
god help anyone living nearby to it, they are (to put it bluntly) FUK3d!!!
if 0.6W is enough to cause cancer what the hell will 20W do, (probably cook passing birds and insects)
Why not dump some harmonics on it of say 7-17hz place the mast at a major intersection and wait to see the accidents and fatalities from heart attacks, blackouts, and other associated neurological effects rack up within 500m.(it aint gonna be pretty)
im off to get more effin tinfoil before it sells out....
Re: OMFG. 20W output....
Pardon, but CB radios have been transmitting at 4W (it's part of the standard) for decades. And what about people who have to work around transmission towers, What about microwave ovens? Most tellys, and so on? And then there's the sun, which transmits throughout the EM spectrum, including in the radio bands. We basically get exposed to radio frequencies everyday, everywhere. Have been since before Marconi, so why worry now?

LAS VEGAS (AP) - A former high school football coach from Florida has been ordered to serve three months in jail and pay a $5,000 fine in the one-punch death of a Utah man at a Las Vegas casino.
A judge on Thursday also said 39-year-old Benjamin Gerard Hawkins of Gainesville must serve five years of probation, undergo impulse-control and anger management counseling, and abstain from alcohol after his conviction for involuntary manslaughter.
The judge initially sentenced Hawkins to between one and two years in the Nevada Department of Corrections but immediately suspended the sentence in favor of probation.
Hawkins has remained free after his November conviction in the death of 46-year-old John Massie, who Hawkins said derided him with racial comments.
The single punch thrown by Hawkins was captured on security video.

BBC NEWS | Artistic clues to coastal change
This is an example for intro text books. The BBC is reporting on the use of 150 year old landscape paintings to study coastal change along parts of the English coast line. The article outlines the use of art that is similar to the use of paintings and photos to study glacial retreat in parts of Europe. Head over to the BBC article to read the details.
Using Remote Sensing to Spot Cholera Outbreaks
Scientists have figured out how to predict cholera outbreaks by looking at sea life. The idea pioneered at the University of Maryland is a rise in sea temperatures lead to the production of Phytoplankton, which are the root cause of cholera. As these phytoplankton get into the water supply, cholera pathogens are released and can lead to outbreaks. Obviously fore warned is fore armed, so this is will certainly help public health officials cope with these devastating outbreaks.

Welcome fall…so long summer
If you have ever run into us at a conference, you know that at least Frank and I are not warm weather folks.

INFOMAR – Mapping Ireland's Seabed
Just as countries are spending increasing amounts of money and resources to map their territories using high-resolution technologies such as LIDAR, some, like Ireland, are devoting significant effort to map their undersea territory (and potential resources) as well. Beginning in 2006, the INFOMAR (INtegrated Mapping FOr the Sustainable Development of Ireland's MArine Resource) project has been focused on mapping Ireland's bays and undersea territory using LIDAR, vessel surveys, and seabed sampling.
The INFOMAR website has a web mapping application with some of the vector data related If you would like to see examples of processed LIDAR data layers of some of Ireland's bays in Google Earth, the INFOMAR site has several KMZ files available for download here.

What Are You Doing for EarthDay? Google Wants to Know!
Google has put up an interactive Google Map where you can share Earth events and ideas with people around the world. It's a fairly basic site, but there are some neat stuff people are planning to do. For instance in Very Spatial's own home turf, people are planning on doing more composting. What's going on in your area for Earth Day?
New NASA Science Website
NASA has just unveiled a new skin for it's Science website. The site is serves as the public face for all the nifty scientific stuff done down at NASA central. I have to say the thing look pretty spiffy. There's lots of useful links right off the front page, including a section for kids and for 'Citizen Scientists'. I might start adding that title to my name… Frank, Citizen Scientist!
Carbon Footprint Map of the US
The Vulcan project is an interesting project out of Purdue University. They seek to "quantify North American fossil fuel carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions at space and time scales much finer than has been achieved in the past." They've just released a new carbon footprint map detailing fossil fuel based CO2 emissions from around the US. One of the interesting findings to come out of their effort is that we previously assumed that the North East portion of the country was the primary emitter in the country. Turns out while there's a lot of truth in that, the coal fired plants of the South add nearly as much.
What's interesting to me are the comments section of the Wired article that pointed me towards this site. People have come up with lots of interesting ways to expand and extend this research by including other bits of data, particularly human geography pieces.
US Atlas of Renewable Resources
While looking for some sample GIS data for a demo, I ran into the US Atlas of Renewable Resources, a project of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The atlas (which is still under development) includes a web mapping interface that show the geographic distribution of wind, biomass, geothermal and solar resources, and the NREL site also has data available for download. The Atlas of Renewable Energy is one of several GIS projects and data sets available from NREL, so if you are interested in mapping or GIS analysis related to renewable energy sources here in the US, it's a good place to start.
Mapping the Arctic
The melting of Arctic ice, coupled with other factors such as the push to discover more oil reserves to exploit, is spurring new efforts to map the Arctic. A US team recently completed a survey of a huge underwater peninsula, known as the Chukchi Cap, on the northern side of Alaska and found that it is actually over 100 miles longer than previously thought. Under certain criteria, a country can claim ownership of the sea floor off its coasts, and exploit the resources beneath it. Other countries, such as Canada and Russia, are also mounting expeditions to explore and map areas of the Arctic off their coast.
While these mapping expeditions are providing us with new information about the geography of our planet, unfortunately they are also opening the way to further depleting our finite resources.

PLAYERS: Landon Cassill
Statesville, N.C. – This week's race at Homestead-Miami Speedway is important to Landon Cassill, driver of the No 83 Burger King/Dr Pepper Toyota, for more reasons than one. With Burger King's headquarters located in Miami, Fla., Cassill hopes to pilot his sponsor's logos to the front of the pack at the 1.5-mile oval. He also hopes this weekend's performance is the final stamp on a solid year and sets the tone for a productive off season. Cassill has made two Cup Series starts at Homestead. His best finish is 36th, which came last season. Doug Richert, crew chief of the No. 93 team, knows his way around Homestead. In his six Cup races at the track, he's produced three wins (2004, 2005, 2006). Comments from BK Racing Toyota driver Landon Cassill heading into Homestead: "This is a really important race to us for a few reasons. Of course it's the season finale and we want to end the year on a good note. We want to close out 2012 with a solid performance and go into the off season with as much momentum as we possibly can. Another reason that Homestead is so important to us is because Burger King's headquarters is right down the road. We want to definitely put on a show for them and make them proud. "Homestead is a fun place. It's really unique and unlike anywhere else we go. It's the championship weekend. I'm excited about going down there, having a good run and seeing who wins the title. "It's hard to believe how quickly this season went by. BK Racing has come a long way since February. Most importantly, we've just come together as a team. We've gradually eliminated a lot of the mistakes that we used to make earlier in the season. This weekend is a chance for us to prove what we're capable of one last time, finish strong and start preparing for 2013. "I'm really excited about the off season. I'm looking forward to getting married in December. Running the Snowball Derby will be a lot of fun, too. I've got a lot to be excited about."

November 27, 2014
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The husband of Jenni Rivera is suing the owners of the plane that crashed in northern Mexico in December 2012, killing the Mexican-American pop star and six others.
City News Service says former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Esteban Loaiza filed the wrongful death case Friday in Los Angeles.
Among other things, the lawsuit claims that the pilots weren't licensed to fly paying passengers.
Rivera sold more than 15 million records.
The 43-year-old superstar filed for divorce from Loaiza two months before the crash, but the lawsuit says he continued to receive financial benefits from her.
A call to Mark Velasquez, a San Diego attorney representing plane owner Starwood Management, wasn't immediately returned.

GSA tries to dispel myths on green purchasing rule
Houston Taylor, the General Services Administration's assistant commissioner for acquisition management, said vendors will not be kicked off the schedule for not supplying environmentally friendly products and services. He also attempted to clear up confusion over other parts of the interim rule requiring agencies to make ensure 95 percent of their purchases meet green standards.
All things acquisition
Host Mark Amtower will talk government acquistion with Jaime Gracia, President and CEO of Seville Government Consulting, and Federal News Radio Executive Editor Jason Miller.
August 29, 2011(Encore presentation September 12, 2011)
Acquisition workforce showing signs of change
OFPP administrator Dan Gordon said the morale of contracting officers and other acquisition workers is improving. OPM issued a new IT program and project management competency guidance.
OFPP's Gordon not stymied by bumps in the road to acquisition reform
Despite pushback on some issues by industry, Dan Gordon listens to input from all sides as the Office of Federal Procurement Policy continues to follow its own path to reform the acquisition process. The OFPP administrator said his office is close to issuing new guidance around business cases for multiple award contracts and a final rule redefining inherently governmental jobs.
Agencies slowly moving to fixed-price contracts
A new report from OFPP finds agencies spent a billion dollars less on time-and-materials and labor hours type contracts in 2010. Still, OFPP found an overall increase in cost-reimbursement type contracts. Agencies have a goal to reduce by 10 percent these types of contracts, which the administration calls risky.
Agencies must cut service contracting by 15 percent
OMB will tell agencies to focus on management support service contracts and reduce spending by $6 billion. OMB said contracting for management support services grew at a faster rate than other types of contracting. The initiative is part of the administration's Campaign to Cut Waste.
Playing by the rules gets more challenging
No time like the present? NO! says the Council of Defense and Space Industry Associations. We get details from one of the member companies, TechAmerica's Trey Hodgkins.
Acquisition gets a double dose of expertise
FAI, DAU teaming together to provide contracting officers and others training and tools.
OFPP wants agencies to certify contracting data quality
Office of Federal Procurement Policy Administrator Dan Gordon issued a memo asking for agencies to improve their internal controls for collecting and submitting acquisition data. The Federal Procurement Data System has had data quality issues for more than a decade.
Analysis: OFPP interagency contracting rule is 'long overdue'
Bob Suda, the president of Suda and Associates, explains what the final guidance means for agencies and contractors.
OFPP promises to tame interagency contracts
OFPP administrator Dan Gordon told a Senate committee that a new rule to add more oversight to multi-agency contracts should be out soon. Agencies wanting to develop new multiple award contracts will have to justify them before going forward. OFPP is also trying to use strategic sourcing to take advantage of the government's buying power.
Acquisition feds recalled from retirement
Agencies asked 125 annuitants for help last year with Army leading the way, bringing 44 retired federal workers back to help with acquisition processes.
Bill would reform A-76 outsourcing process
Sen. Mikulski and Rep. Sarbanes introduce legislation to change the way agencies outsource jobs and determine what are inherently governmental functions.
Hearing offers little clarity to campaign disclosure proposal
Republican House lawmakers are frustrated and concerned over the draft Executive Order requiring contractors to make campaign contributions public. OFPP's Dan Gordon declines to answer specific questions about the proposal, but said transparency is key to ensuring trust in the procurement system.
Changes to purchase cards can save agencies money
Your agency could save a lot of money with improvements in the purchase card program. Former OFPP Administrator Steve Kelman will tell you how.
Kelman: Share-in-savings contracts to return?
Former federal procurement policy chief Steve Kelman says you should think about share-in-savings contracts.
OFPP to test employee swaps
The idea is to trade one of your acquisition experts to another agency in exchange for one who knows more about a specific procurement need you have.
Agencies must justify large 8(a) contracts
The FAR Councils are adding a new set of controls to contracts worth more than $20 million going to vendors in the socioeconomic program. This interim rule is in reaction to problems that surfaced last year when 8(a) firms were passing most of the work under the award to large businesses. Agencies also have new requirements to determine the order of priority for small business programs, around multiple-award contracts and when to use other than firm-fixed price contracts.

OFPP zeroes in on acquisition workforce
Some administration officials fear the acquisition workforce can't properly manage government contracts. Dan Gordon said strengthening that workforce is OFPP's number one priority. He also said he wants to improve communication between government acquisition officers and industry.

April showers bring May flowers, but they could also bring water into your home.
Matt cairns checked out his finished attic after a hard rain and noticed water stains around the skylight.
Cairns knew it was going to be a problem he would have to address, but he didn't expect it to be an urgent roofing repair.
"The next night it rained hard again and I came up here and the spot had gotten way worse," explains homeowner Matt Cairns. "I was able to just stick my fingers right through the drywall. Then I knew I needed to get some attention on this pretty quickly."
Your roof is your home's number one defense against the elements.
No part plays a bigger role in keeping the elements out, so when a roof requires a repair, there's little time to waste.
Angie Hicks is the creator of Angie's List and says keeping an eye on your roof is key.
"Inspecting your roof regularly will help you determine if there are leaks from your roof. You want to be sure to check a leak and fix it as quickly as possible because if you don't it can lead to structural damage in your home and also mold which can turn into a costly repair," she said.
When it comes to your roof and leaks, there are four signs to look out for.
"In a roof inspection you should look for four common problems on your roof," added Hicks. "Curling shingles, broken shingles, missing flashing, and areas where water may be pooling on your roof."
Justin Vorbroker is a roofing company operations manager.
"Regularly scheduled maintenance is very important on a roof. General roof lifespan can be 25 to 30 years. But you need to get someone out there every 5 years of so just to make sure your roof is ok, you're not missing any shingles you didn't notice or missing any granule loss," he said.
Though your situation might seem to be one of desperation, avoid settling on the first contractor who comes along and offers to do the job.
"Keep in mind when hiring a roofing contractor you want to have a reputable company, someone who is going to stand behind it," explains Hicks. "Your roof will last a long time so you don't want someone working on it who is not going to be able to stand behind their work so if you find after a storm someone coming door-to-door say no. Go do your research and hire a company on your own."
Cairns advises receiving several quotes.
"My personal policy is to always get at least two and ideally three quotes, three estimates on what the problem might be. So I brought out another contractor and he actually got up on the roof, he didn't want to just look at the skylight, he wanted to look at the entire roof," he says.
Roofing shingles are manufactured with extra granules, and you'll have granule loss over time.
But if you see more granules than normal under your downspouts after a storm, that is a cause of concern.
Why it's important: A leaking roof can cause serious damage to your home. Failing to address leaks right away can significantly raise the cost of roofing repair
Angie's List, the nation's leading provider of consumer reviews
4 Signs to look for:
You can avoid potential damage from the elements by regularly inspecting your roof, especially following a storm. Be on the lookout for the following signs:
1. Curled shingles on the edges of roll roofing.
2. Broken shingles or sections of roll roofing that are missing.
3. Damaged or missing flashing around the edges of the roof or around objects protruding from the roof.
4. Area where water collects in puddles.
Angie's List Tips: Hiring a roofing contractor
• Be patient: Though your situation might seem to be one of desperation, avoid settling on the first contractor who comes along and offers to do the job.
• Avoid out-of-town storm chasers: These roofers travel around the country following the paths of storms looking for homeowners in dire need of repair.
• Are you legit? Ask to see proof of insurance and check the roofer's license with your local building department or licensing agent. If the company only lists a post office box, it's a red flag. Ask for a list of previous customers and visit the work sites to make sure the references are legit.
• Read the contract before signing: The contract should include such items as payment terms, type of materials used, provisions for change orders and a termination clause.

NEW YORK (AP) - Facebook users who check in to a store or "like" a brand may soon find those actions re-transmitted on their friends' pages as a "Sponsored Story" paid for by advertisers.
Currently there is no way for users to decline this feature.
Facebook says this lets advertisers promote word-of-mouth recommendations that people already made on the site. The new, promoted posts would keep the same privacy setting that the original posting had.
But involving users in advertisements without their consent has been a thorny for Facebook. Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, says in this case Facebook is making money of a person's name or likeness without their consent. He calls it "subtle and misleading" and says users should object.

Hide Detailed Description
Detailed Description:
BACKGROUND: Each year, worldwide about 530,000 women die from causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Almost all (99%) of the deaths are in low and middle income countries. Obstetric haemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal mortality accounting for between one quarter and one third of deaths, most of which occur in the postpartum period. About 14 million mothers develop postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) each year and about 1-2% of them will die, with an average interval from onset to death of about 2 to 4 hours. Obstetric haemorrhage is also an important cause of maternal mortality in high income countries where it accounts for about 13% of maternal deaths.
Anti-fibrinolytic agents are widely used in surgery to reduce blood loss and the need for blood transfusion. A systematic review of randomised controlled trials of anti-fibrinolytic agents in elective surgery showed that tranexamic acid (TXA) reduced the risk of blood transfusion by a relative 39% (RR 0.61, 95% CI 0.54 to 0.69). In those requiring transfusion, TXA reduced the transfused blood volume by 1.1 units (95% CI 0.64 to 1.59). Anti-fibrinolytic agents also reduced the need for re-operation due to bleeding (RR=0.52: 95% CI 0.40 to 0.69). There was no evidence of an increased risk of thrombotic events.
TXA significantly reduces uterine blood loss in women with menorrhagia and is "recommended for consideration" as a treatment in intractable postpartum haemorrhage in the UK. However, at present there is little reliable evidence from randomised trials on the effectiveness of TXA in the treatment of PPH. A systematic review of randomised trials of TXA in PPH conducted by the applicants identified three trials of the prophylactic use of TXA, including a total of 460 participants. Although there was a significant reduction in average postpartum blood loss in women treated with TXA [weighted mean reduction 96 ml (95%CI 76ml to 109ml)] the quality of the trials was poor. None had adequate allocation concealment and even in aggregate the trials were too small to assess the effects of TXA on the clinically important end points of mortality, hysterectomy and thrombotic side effects. The most recently updated PPH treatment guidelines prepared by the World Health Organization (WHO) state that TXA may be used in the treatment of PPH if other measures fail, but points out that the quality of evidence on which this recommendation is based is low and recommends that further clinical trials of TXA in PPH are conducted.
AIM: The WOMAN Trial aims to determine the effect of the early administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) on death and hysterectomy in women with a clinical diagnosis of postpartum haemorrhage. The effect of TXA on the need for surgical interventions, blood transfusion, the risk of non-fatal vascular events (either haemorrhagic or occlusive), use of health services and breastfeeding will also be assessed.
OUTCOME: Outcomes will be collected at 42 days after randomisation, at discharge or at death (whichever occurs first).
TEST PRODUCT, DOSE AND MODE OF ADMINISTRATION: A first dose of Tranexamic acid (1 gram by intravenous injection) will be given as soon as possible after randomisation. If clinically indicated due to continued bleeding, a second dose of Tranexamic acid (1 gram by intravenous injection) will be given if within 4 hours of randomisation.
REFERENCE THERAPY, DOSE AND MODE OF ADMINISTRATION: A placebo (sodium chloride 0.9%) matched to the active drug will be administered in the same way as the active product. A placebo is justified in this trial because all women with PPH will receive all other treatments clinically indicated. Tranexamic acid/placebo will be given as an additional treatment.
SETTING: This trial will be co-ordinated from LSHTM and conducted in hospitals in low, middle and high income countries. It is likely that most patient recruitment will be in countries with high rates of mortality and morbidity from postpartum haemorrhage.
DURATION OF TREATMENT AND PARTICIPATION: The first dose will be given immediately after randomisation. If required, the second dose will be given up to 24 hours after randomisation. No further trial treatment will be given after 24 hours of randomisation. Participation will end at discharge, death or at 42 days post randomisation whichever occurs first.
CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION: All patients randomly assigned to one of the treatments will be analysed together, regardless of whether or not they completed or received that treatment on an intention to treat basis.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|16 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
All legally adult women with postpartum haemorrhage following vaginal or caesarean section delivery who have a clinical diagnosis of postpartum haemorrhage. The clinical diagnosis of PPH may be based on any of the following:
- Blood loss after vaginal delivery > 500 mL OR
- > 1,000 mL after caesarean section OR blood loss sufficient to compromise the haemodynamic status of the woman The fundamental eligibility criterion is the responsible clinician's 'uncertainty' as to whether or not to use an antifibrinolytic agent in a particular woman with postpartum haemorrhage.
- Women for whom the responsible doctor considers there is a clear indication for antifibrinolytic therapy should not be randomised.
- Women for whom there is considered to be a clear contraindication to antifibrinolytic therapy should not be randomised.
Where the responsible clinician is substantially uncertain as to whether or not to use an antifibrinolytic, all these women are eligible for randomisation and should be considered for the trial.
There are no other pre-specified exclusion criteria.

HTC One E8 may be launched in new markets soon
According to Focus Taiwan, the One E8 is "geared primarily toward price-sensitive markets", but HTC could also use it "to maintain sales in the last half of the year in markets where the life cycle of premium phones appears to be shrinking." Thus, the Taiwanese company might plan to release the E8 in more countries than initially planned.
The One E8 is a cheaper version of the One M8, costing slightly under $500 in China and Taiwan. Most of its features are identical to those of the M8 flagship, though there's no 4MP UltraPixel camera on the back - this being replaced by a regular 13MP camera. More importantly, the E8 is made out of plastic, so it doesn't have the metal construction of the M8. And that's why it's cheaper.

If I was in the market for a phone, I would consider an E8. The internals are really the important part, especially since most people cover up the outside with a case.

Impressive offering. Will be a really good lower priced option.
9. GreekGeek (Posts: 844; Member since: 22 Mar 2014)
Sadly for most international markets, $500 means you have to add $50-$100 on top of it.
14. pulkit1 (Posts: 325; Member since: 03 Jul 2014)
In India it was launched for 34990 rs = 583 $ but soon you will be able to get it for 540 $ . Since s5 is available for a similar price , i think HTC has a chance here.
10. ryq24 (Posts: 527; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
This phones seems more practical to buy than the original One M8 considering how fast phone changes nowadays. Why buy a premium expensive phone when in a few months a new round of so-called flagship phones will come out again. And plastic or metal actually does not matter since most people will be using plastic case to protect their phone.
11. androtaku (Posts: 196; Member since: 12 Dec 2013)
by the time they actually get to potential markets,many already lost interest and waiting for better offering

A Sarah Palin Pregnancy Scandal?by Free Britney at . Comments
Please note that the political celebrity gossip story below is based on circumstantial, albeit fairly compelling, evidence. There is no proof, although that's how it was with Rielle Hunter, and we all know how that turned out.
Just saying. The Daily Kos, a leftist political blog, is reporting that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican nominee for Vice President, is not the mother of her fifth child, four-month-old Trig Palin. Rather, her 16-year-old daughter Bristol is.
The "evidence" for this - you can read the full, and far more comprehensive account here - includes the following:
- On March 6, the governor announced she was seven months pregnant, to the surprise of everyone.
- Sarah Palin's water broke a month before Trig was due, but she kept a speaking date in Texas, then flew eight hours, direct, home to Alaska.
- Upon going into labor, instead of heading to an Anchorage medical facility that could best accommodate a premature birth, she drove 45 minutes to Mat-Su Regional Medical Center, outside Wasilla, where she was mayor.
- On April 18, 2008, Trig Palin, who has Down's Syndrome, was born a month premature. Sarah Palin returned to work after just three days.
- Bristol Palin was taken out of Anchorage High School due to "mononucleosis." She was absent from school for 5-8 months (accounts vary).
Some believe 16-year-old Bristol Palin (right), not Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, was the one pregnant, and starting to show, in this family photo from early 2008.
It's an interesting conspiracy theory, but the thing we don't get is why a major public figure would risk the humiliation of being exposed as a liar when the thing she's trying to cover up isn't that unusual or scandalous.
At least with John Edwards, he knew his career was over the second his affair with Rielle Hunter was exposed, so he might as well roll the dice and lie about it.
But with approval ratings above 80 percent, would Bristol becoming pregnant at 16 really damage Sarah Palin's image that much? Look at Jamie Lynn Spears!
Would it jeopardize Sarah's chances to become Vice President? Maybe. But wouldn't fallout be 10 times worse after having lied repeatedly? The desire to protect her daughter from scrutiny couldn't be worth it, could it?
Either way, the mother of Trig stuck to her guns and did not have an abortion, which regardless of how you feel about that issue, proves Sarah Palin is true to her stated conservative beliefs. We're curious to hear what you think.
UPDATE: Follow the jump for a photo of what appears to be a pregnant Sarah Palin earlier this year. Does this put these rumors to rest?
If you listen to the interview between Sarah Palin and Charlie Rose, you will hear her say in her own words, I only have one son, refering to her son enlisting in military.
you can obviously see that she is pregnant i mean that is no joke right there she is pregnant and trigg is her baby and he is adorable!
Well... whether she has had 4 children or 5 , she looks fantastic. I just don't believe anything she says. She seems like a very dishonest person, starting from the way she used 'the bridge to nowhere' to sell herself at the convention. See my Christmas cards of Sarah Palin Aerial hunting... at www.cafepress.com/ifpigsfly www.ifidrewtheworld.blogspot.c...
i could care less whether or not trig is sarah's child or bristol's, but it kills me to hear conservative women swooning over what a great mother she is. no one can raise five children and run the largest state in the country effectively. sarah palin is either a poor excuse for a parent or a poor excuse for a national politician.
Presidential candidates and VP candidates should release their medical records in full. This will put to rest rumors and make people feel better or worse about Sarah Palin in particular. My big fear is that the Republicans will win the election and then all the lies will be exposed, leaving us with a mess. Anyone who feels that it is right to ban books from a public libray and then attempt to fire the librarian after she refused to follow Sarah Palin's desires, should definitely vote for McCain/Palin. Your first ammendment right may be in danger. Also, the Republicans need to let Sarah Palin be quizzed. We need to find out exactly how she does without a teleprompter. What exactly does she know about the world? 1 in 3 men make it to the age of 80. It is entirely possible that she could end up as the next President. She is clearly beautiful and clever, but is she really well informed and well educated?
I completly agree. Here is my take. Sarah caught mcCain's eye in February. she was being actively marketed for VP then and it dawned or her that she had a tiny problem at home and the rest is hostory.
Check out this super scary video. No mystery here - words straight from the horse's mouth
I will prefer a politician who has been through the same situations as other families rather than one who pretends to be the picture perfect family. Palin, as many other mothers, surely tried to educate her daughter to make better decisions but as many teenagers, the girl had the final word (That's why I liked H. Clinton more, she walked out with dignity from the cheating husband situation).
Being able to walk out of difficult moments shows tenacity and courage... and that person will make a better candidate.
Come on people. There is no way Sarah Palin delivered Trig. That is simply impossible. Show the birth certificate!! I do not care that Bristol is "supposedly" pregnant right now. Sarah Palin DID NOT deliver Trig. People should stop believing the photoshop images of Sarah. They are a joke. SARAH SHOW THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE!!!
this best for the republicans!1 gun 2 pregnan 3drunk...are you sure mc cain this the best vice in the american people.
Why did TMZ take down the pictures of Bristol and friends drinking and holding guns? Come'on put them back up let's see how our presumputive Republican VP kids are going to party in the White House if there was any possiblity they WERE going to make it there!
