One of the major complaints steady players have about Final Fantasy XI is its relative lack of variety, in terms of environments. Actually, it's not so much that -- it's just that most players tend to stick to a few tried-and-true level spots, and are seldom willing to travel to less popular (but often more exotic and novel) areas. Well, you might want to rejoice right about now, because new areas are apparently what the FF XI retail expansion Chains of Promathia is most focused on. The amount of real estate has doubled (or close to it), and the amount of narrative material in it exceeds what's in the original and the first expansion combined. In the few days since its release I've gotten to sample this stuff, and from what I can tell (and I'm barely scratching the surface on this one), it's pretty neat stuff.
Before being able to check out all this cool stuff, though, you're going to have to sit through one of PlayOnline's patented marathon updates. If you haven't played the game in a while, you'll be asked to patch after installing Chains of Promathia, and a hefty patch it will be: to the tune of two hours, for most players. For a game that updates this frequently, it's a pain that the system is apparently so inefficient. What's cool, however, is that these updates are usually pretty substantial, and the one following Chains of Promathia's release is no different. A whole bunch of new items were added to the game, all of which can be acquired by players that don't have the expansion. Granted, they'll be unable to actually visit the areas where many of these items drop, but a whole bunch of others -- including some really cool ones related to tradeskills -- can be acquired by all players. Ditto with the new quests added; all the ones that originate in non-expansion zones can be initiated whether or not you own the expansion.
After the patch, in any event, there will be little indication that the world has actually changed, apart from entrances to new zones on previously empty map spaces. Rather, most of the significant additions in Chains of Promathia -- specifically, the new missions and the narrative elements that accompany them -- require you to initiate them. Being that it's so soon after the release, not a whole lot about the particulars are known, and this is a cool feeling. On forums and within the game itself, there's a really cool sense of exploration and discovery in regards to the new missions and areas, as well as speculation as to the possible rewards and narrative developments that will come as a result of going through them.
The good news is that players can start the Promathia missions pretty early on -- the first few have a level cap of 30, so even relatively low-level characters can take them on. In order to start them up, you have to visit a site called Delkfutt's Tower on the remote island of Qufim. The moment you enter the tower, you're treated to one of the coolest cutscenes yet seen in game. I don't want to spoil too much of it, but rest assured that it will feature a substantial and riveting cameo by one of the Final Fantasy series' most popular recurring characters. After the Promathia missions are thus initiated, you'll have to trigger a few more cutscenes set in the neighboring city of Jeuno. It's a short process, especially if you know where to go (and in-game help is in no short supply, in the form of chatty players who'll respond to your shouts).
Freaky-Freaky Black
The missions start in earnest once you hit the "Emptiness" areas. If you've been following the development of the expansion, you'll remember these: they take place in a sort of nether region, and they're spooky as all hell. They're accessed by traveling through the "Crags" -- those huge white monuments near all three of the starting cities -- and once you enter them, it's on. The particular stretches of Emptiness in which the first few Promathia missions take place are called "Promyvion," with a suffix indicating which Crag you used to enter -- e.g., Promyvion - Dem, Promyvion - Holla, Promyvion - Mea. The first one I chose try, being a native of Bastok, was Promyvion - Dem, as the Crag of Dem is the nearest to my homeland.

A physically motivated index of subgrid-scale pattern
Jupp, Tim E.; Twiss, Sean D.. 2006 A physically motivated index of subgrid-scale pattern. Journal of Geophysical Research, 111, D19112. 10.1029/2006JD007343
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract/Summary
Earth Observation data on land surface properties such as albedo are typically collected at a pixel resolution of 1 km or less. Global climate models, on the other hand, are constrained by current limits on computing power to run at a grid box resolution of 10 km or more. This mismatch in spatial scales means that large amounts of pixel-scale information are condensed into a small number of grid-box-scale summary statistics before use in global climate models. Subgrid-scale patterns in land surface properties may have a significant effect but the summary statistics currently in use, such as the grid box mean and grid box variance, are insensitive to the spatial arrangement of pixels. To address this gap in the information available to global climate models we define here a new grid-box-scale summary statistic, the Laplacian pattern index, that is sensitive to the spatial arrangement of pixels. This dimensionless index is based on the mean-squared value of the Laplacian filter 2 within the grid box and is motivated by the physics of diffusive heat transport. We investigate the value of the index in some simple cases and show that it is a measure of the local correlation structure within a grid box. This allows us to generate random grid boxes in which the index takes (on average) a prescribed value. The Laplacian pattern index is designed to be a useful measure of subgrid-scale pattern in numerical climate models, but can be used as a measure of pattern in any two-dimensional array of real-valued data.

Donation after cardiac death: the potential contribution of an infant organ donor population. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 20732689 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
OBJECTIVE: To determine the percentage of deaths in level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) settings that theoretically would have been eligible for donation after cardiac death (DCD), as well as the percentage of these who would have been potential DCD candidates based on warm ischemic time. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a retrospective study of all deaths in 3 Harvard Program in Neonatology NICUs between 2005 and 2007. Eligible donors were identified based on criteria developed with our transplantation surgeons and our local organ procurement organization. Potential candidates for DCD were then identified based on an acceptable warm ischemic time. RESULTS: Of the 192 deaths that occurred during the study period, 161 were excluded, leaving 31 theoretically eligible donors. Of these, 16 patients had a warm ischemic time of <1 hour and were potential candidates for DCD of 14 livers and 18 kidneys, and 14 patients had a warm ischemic time of <30 minutes and were potential candidates for DCD of 10 hearts. CONCLUSIONS: Eight percent of NICU mortalities were potential candidates for DCD. Based on the size of the potential donor pool, establishing an infant DCD protocol for level III NICUs should be considered. |

Special Olympics works closely with its five accredited programs in East Asia to offer summer and winter sports for more than 1.18 million athletes with intellectual disabilities in the region. The 12th Special Olympics World Summer Games was successfully held in Shanghai, China in 2007. The 10th World Winter Games had been held in PyeongChang, Korea from Jan. 30 to Feb. 06, 2013.

I hope to continue trying to bring awareness to how it is harmful.

Designers from 10 countries submitted a total of 51 designs and a jury of 9 people including two Special Olympics athletes as well as a public vote selected the winning design. The winning Mascot-Lara and Luis-depicts two of Austria's most celebrated animals, a deer and a badger, and is inspired by the Games slogan Heartbeat for the World. The two winning designers 23 yrs old Hanna Riebenbauer and Alexander Menzel, 26, are students of the University of Applied Sciences in Styria. Their design took two months to complete. "We wanted to take two animals that are dear to Austrian hearts and combine this with the meaning and spirit of Special Olympics. We hope that the World will take Special Olympics athletes to their hearts as well as Lara and Luis and celebrate the spirit and meaning of Special Olympics. We're really thrilled."
When the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games open in July 2015, it will be a world stage for people with intellectual disabilities to show their strength, skill, courage and determination.View Story ▼When the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games open in July 2015, it will be a world stage for people with intellectual disabilities to show their strength, skill, courage and determination. The Games in Los Angeles, California, "will change the lives of people around the world who are mistreated and excluded because they're 'different,'" said Patrick McClenahan, President and Chief Executive Officer of LA2015, the Games Organizing Committee. The Games also are a chance for spectators and volunteers to have their preconceptions about people with intellectual disabilities changed forever. Getting involved with the Games by cheering from the stands or handing out cups of water to thirsty athletes is a sure way to change your view of people of all kinds. Special Olympics World Games -- and all of the 80,000 Special Olympics competitions that occur every year--invite the public to see the talents and capabilities of people with intellectual disabilities. It's a way to open eyes, to change attitudes and to break down barriers that have excluded people with ID from the mainstream of community. The 2015 Games will feature competitions in aquatics, gymnastics, track and field, basketball, football (soccer) and many other summer sports involving 7,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities from around the world.'Los Angeles is set to welcome more than 7,000 Special Olympics athletes from 170 nations to compete in 25 Olympic-type sports.

Global WASH Fast Facts
Information on Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene
Access to WASH
- Worldwide, 780 million people do not have access to an improved water source * 2.
- An estimated 2.5 billion people lack access to improved sanitation (more than 35% of the world's population) 1, 3.
- According to the World Health Organization and UNICEF, regions with the lowest coverage of "improved" sanitation in 2006 were sub-Saharan Africa (31%), Southern Asia (33%) and Eastern Asia (65%) 2.
- In 2006, 7 out of 10 people without access to improved sanitation were rural inhabitants 2.
- According to the United Nations and UNICEF, one in five girls of primary-school age are not in school, compared to one in six boys. One factor accounting for this difference is the lack of sanitation facilities for girls reaching puberty. Girls are also more likely to be responsible for collecting water for their family, making it difficult for them to attend school during school hours 13, 14. The installation of toilets and latrines may enable school children, especially menstruating girls, to further their education by remaining in the school system.
Disease & Death
- An estimated 801,000 children younger than 5 years of age perish from diarrhea each year, mostly in developing countries. This amounts to 11% of the 7.6 million deaths of children under the age of five and means that about 2,200 children are dying every day as a result of diarrheal diseases 4.
- Unsafe drinking water, inadequate availability of water for hygiene, and lack of access to sanitation together contribute to about 88% of deaths from diarrheal diseases 1.
- Worldwide, millions of people are infected with neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), many of which are water and/or hygiene-related, such as Guinea Worm Disease, Buruli Ulcer, Trachoma, and Schistosomiasis. These diseases are most often found in places with unsafe drinking water, poor sanitation, and insufficient hygiene practices 8, 9.
- Worldwide, soil-transmitted helminths infect more than one billion people due to a lack of adequate sanitation 10.
- Guinea Worm Disease (GWD) is an extremely painful parasitic infection spread through contaminated drinking water. GWD is characterized by spaghetti-like worms up to 1 meter in length slowly emerging from the human body through blisters on the skin anywhere on the body but usually on the lower legs or lower arms. Infection affects poor communities in remote parts of Africa that do not have safe water to drink. In 2012, 542 cases of Guinea Worm Disease were reported. Most of those cases were from Sudan (96%) 11.
- Trachoma is the world's leading cause of preventable blindness and results from poor hygiene and sanitation. Approximately 41 million people suffer from active trachoma and nearly 10 million people are visually impaired or irreversibly blind as a result of trachoma 12. Trachoma infection can be prevented through increased facial cleanliness with soap and clean water, and improved sanitation.
- Water, sanitation and hygiene has the potential to prevent at least 9.1% of the global disease burden and 6.3% of all deaths 1.The impact of clean water technologies on public health in the U.S. is estimated to have had a rate of return of 23 to 1 for investments in water filtration and chlorination during the first half of the 20th century 5.
- Water and sanitation interventions are cost effective across all world regions. These interventions were demonstrated to produce economic benefits ranging from US$ 5 to US$ 46 per US$ 1 invested 6.
- Improved water sources reduce diarrhea morbidity by 21%; improved sanitation reduces diarrhea morbidity by 37.5%; and the simple act of washing hands at critical times can reduce the number of diarrhea cases by as much as 35%. Improvement of drinking-water quality, such as point-of-use disinfection, would lead to a 45% reduction of diarrhea episodes 7.
- In order to meet the United Nations' Millennium Development Goal 13 to halve the proportion of people without sustainable access to improved drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015:
- An estimated 784 million people will need to gain access to an improved water source.
- o An estimated 173 million people on average per year will need to begin using improved sanitation facilities (accounting for expected population growth) 2.
- Even if the United Nations' Millennium Development Goal 13 for improved drinking water and basic sanitation is reached by 2015, it will still leave:
- An estimated 790 million people (11% of the world's population) without access to an improved water supply.
- An estimated 1.8 billion people (25% of the world's population) without access to adequate sanitation 15.

What a paradise. We stayed in the Delfin suite. Wonderful spot right on the ocean, beautifully furnished with Mexican folk art and antique furniture. Our hosts, James and Maria, were welcoming, helpful and most charming. The pool was long enough to actually do lengths. Ocean kayaks were at our disposal. We hated to leave, and will return one day with more of our family. It is an hour's walk along the beach to Bucerias, and a 10 minute walk to La Cruz for fresh fish, seafood or two great restaurants - and a very extensive Sunday market where you can buy everything from quality handmade jewelry to clothes to paintings to really good food. The beach right in front is a bit rocky until you get in, but with water shoes it is fine, warm and clean. The gardens and the buildings are lovely and around every corner is a view you will want to photograph.

Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Cookies
This recipe completely uses whole wheat flour. Sometimes too much whole wheat can make baked goods heavy and loose its light texture. In these cookies there is no fear of that - no one will know! The texture is chewy and I baked mine a little longer so the edges were crispy and the centre soft. If you want, the recipe can be made with all-purpose flour or a mixture of both.
Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Cookies
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cup all-purpose or whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
Preheat oven to 375F.
In large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the butter, peanut butter, granulated and brown sugars and the egg until creamy ans thoroughly mixed. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and blend very well.
Now make the cookies: by hand, roll the dough into 1-inch (2 cm) balls, place them on an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving 2 inches (5 cm) between them to allow for spreading. For the classic peanut butter cookie look, flatten each ball of dough with a fork, pressing lightly to make a criss-cross pattern. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until cookies have puffed slightly and are lightly browned on the bottom. Makes about 3 1/2 dozen.

he answer Chaussures Puma Pas Cher is yes. French fashion house has confirmed the Brit model as the face of their Boy Chanel handbag collection. [Karl Lagerfeld] a crush with this unique, charismatic dude, who's both one and musician, during the photo shoot several months ago, Chanel told WWD. This previously unforeseen alliance finally became self-evident Chaussures Supra. Alice Dellal represents the most perfect incarnation off which is unique in regards to the Boy Chanel handbag collection, which strives [to be] not even close conformist notions of femininity Chaussures Puma.
Yep, Dellal is anything but conventional Chaussures Supra Pas Cher. And even her trademark punk-rock uniform, the petite 24-year-old is actually a drummer while in the band Thrush Metal and will remain found larking for the streets based in london with Pixie Geldof. Shes far from blonde bombshell Blake Lively, whos the existing face of Chanels Mademoiselle range, but Lagerfeld is acknowledged for his eclectic taste, previously casting Lily Allen for the Cocoon bag range during the past year. Even greater, Alice's androgyny will work brilliantly with the 'Boy' collection. How refreshing. - 10:24 PM

MP ConversionMP codes convert packed decimals to unpacked decimal representation for output or decimal values to packed decimals for input. SYNTAXMP NOTESThe MP code most often used as an output conversion. On input, the MP processor combines pairs of 8-bit ASCII digits into single 8-bit digits as follows:
When displaying packed decimal data, you should always use an MP or MX code. Raw packed data is almost certain to contain control codes that will upset the operation of most terminals and printers. INPUT CONVERSIONInput conversion is valid. Generally, for selection processing you should specify MP codes in field 7 of the data definition record. EXAMPLES

People with cerebral palsy (CP) share many of the social and emotional concerns of others the same age, such as wanting to fit in with peers and develop friendships.
Help support your child with CP by being aware of and understanding these concerns. Although you will not be able to solve all the difficulties for your child, your efforts can have a lasting and positive impact.
- School-aged children with cerebral palsy want to be accepted by others and included in games and sports. Special equipment and encouragement from other children their age can help them participate in normal activities.
- Teens and young adults with cerebral palsy have concerns and questions about relationships and sexuality. They may need more help than other teens and young adults in learning how to take care of their maturing bodies. Also, they may need additional guidance in how to make good choices and have healthy sexual relationships as they get older.
- Adults with cerebral palsy want to have fulfilling jobs and active social lives. They may need special equipment to do their jobs.
- A woman with CP may be at increased risk for problems during pregnancy and delivery. Her specific problems will depend on how her joints and muscles are affected by CP.
Talk to your doctor about support groups and other resources that can help you handle your child's concerns.

Cheggers Plays Pop
Contents |
Team leaders: Carmen Gordon and Gordon Astley. Various others over the years included Tony Blackburn, Gary Davies and Vivien McKone.
BBC Manchester for BBC 1, 10 April 1978 to 7 November 1986 (81 episodes in 9 series)
Seminal kids quiz show with musical bent hosted by young floppy haired Keith Chegwin. Each week two schools battled it out for seemingly no reason whatsoever.
First game each week seemed to be the Top Ten Hammer Game, whereby the kids from both teams would race to a test your strength machine and attempt to light up the top ten songs in the singles charts for points.
The other rounds in the show were the Hotbox quiz rounds, where the team would spin a wheel in front of their desks to select one of ten sets of questions to answer, the first time round the question was based on the band currently at that position in the charts, the second time round it was general music based questions.
These were intermingled with Knockout-esque action games involving large props and inflatables. Later series involved comedians such as Stan Boardman trying to make the kids smile or laugh - if they could last 30 seconds without doing so, they would win points for their teams.
Musical acts of the day would also appear to sing their latest tune.
In 1997 it was bought back in spirit as 50/50, and no-one noticed.
Key moments
That infamous gaffe when Cheggers offered a choice of three answers, unfortunately none of them correct.
"All you gotta do is....!"
"Waaaayyyyy - hold it there!"
"And now it's time for the Hotbox Quick Quiz!"
Cheggers always signed off with, "Ta-ra!" before leaping onto the inflatables with the kids.
According to Lostshows.com, almost every single one of the 81 episodes exist from the BBC archives with 74 of them surviving, the only episodes that are missing are Episodes 2 & 5-6 of Series 6 and Episodes 2-3 & 5-6 of Series 7.

Episcopal Sandals
Form of low shoes, and resemble slippers
Sandals, EPISCOPAL.—FORM AND PRESENT USE.—Unlike the ancient sandals, which consisted merely of soles fastened to the foot by straps, the episcopal sandals are in the form of low shoes, and resemble slippers. The sole is of leather; the upper part, generally ornamented with embroidery, is made at the present day of silk or velvet. No cross is required upon the sandals; at Rome this is an exclusively papal privilege. With the sandals are worn the liturgical stockings, caligae. The stockings, which are of silk, are either knitted or are made by sewing together pieces of silk fabric that have been cut a suitable shape; they are worn over the ordinary stockings. The privilege of wearing the sandals and caligae belongs only to bishops. They may be worn by abbots and other prelates only by special privilege from the pope and only so far as this privilege grants. The pontifical foot-wear is used only at pontifical solemn Mass and at functions performed during the same, as ordination, but not on other occasions, as, for example, Confirmation, solemn Vespers etc. It is therefore in the most exact sense of the word a vestment worn during the Mass. The liturgical color for the day decides the color of the sandals and caligce; there are, however, no black stockings or sandals, as the bishop does not make use of the pontifical foot-wear either at masses for the dead or on Good Friday. Sandals and stockings are only customary in the Latin Rites, and are unknown in the Oriental Rites.
HISTORY.—Sandals and stockings belong to the liturgical vestments supported by the earliest evidence. They are depicted upon the monuments of the fifth century, for instance upon mosaics of San Satiro near San Ambrogio at Milan, and on those of the sixth century, e.g. the mosaics in San Vitale at Ravenna. Originally the sandals were called campagi, the stockings udones. The shoes were given the name sandalia probably during the eighth to the ninth century, and this name was first applied to them in the north; the designation caligae for udones came into use in the tenth century, also in the north. As regards the original form and material of the campagi, they were slippers that covered only the tip of the foot and the heel, and must have been fastened to the foot by straps. This slipper was made of black leather. The stockings were, very likely, made of linen, and were white in color. In the earliest period the campagi and udones were by no means exclusively an episcopal ornament, as they were worn by deacons. Indeed this foot-covering was not reserved exclusively for the clergy, as not only the monuments show that the campagi and udones were worn by the laity, but Lydus also testifies to this usage (De mag., I, xvii). Campagi and udones were originally worn in the post-Constantine era as a mark of distinction by certain persons of rank, and were probably copied from the foot-wear of the ancient senators. Their use gradually became customary among the higher clergy, especially when these appeared in their full official capacity for the celebration of the Liturgy. During the eighth and ninth centuries also the Roman subdeacons and acolytes wore a distinctive foot-wear, the subtalares, which, however, were simpler than the campagi, and had no straps. The sandals and stockings became a specifically episcopal vestment about the tenth century. Apparently as early as the twelfth century, or at least in the second half of the thirteenth century, they were no longer worn even by the cardinal deacons of Rome. The privilege of wearing the sandals and caligae was first granted to an abbot (Fulrad of St. Denis) in 757 by Stephen III. This is, however, an isolated case, as it was only after the last quarter of the tenth century, and especially after the twelfth century that it became customary to grant abbots this privilege
DEVELOPMENT OF SHAPE.—The caligae seem to have experienced no particular development. In the later Middle Ages they were, as a rule, made of silk. The earliest enforcement in respect to caligae of the regulations for liturgical colors seems to have been at Rome, but even here probably not until the fourteenth century. The sandals retained substantially their original form until the tenth century. Then straps were replaced by three or five tongues reaching to the ankle, extensions of the upper leather upon the point of the foot, and these were fastened at the ankle by means of a string. In the twelfth century these tongues were gradually shortened; in the thirteenth century the sandal was a regular shoe with a slit above the foot or on the side to make the putting on easier In the sixteenth century there was a return to the earlier form of the sandal; instead of a high shoe it now became once more a low foot-covering, like a slipper, a form which it has retained until the present time. The material of which the pontifical sandals are made was, until the thirteenth century, exclusively leather, at times covered with silk. Since the later Middle Ages, the upper part of the sandals has been made, not of leather, but of silk, velvet, etc. It is not until about 1400, with the exception of entirely isolated earlier examples, that a cross is to be found upon the sandals. The fork-shaped decoration, frequently found on pontifical shoes, especially on those of the thirteenth century, was not a cross, but merely an ornament.

Interview Question
Intern Interview(Student Candidate) Tysons Corner, VA
McGladrey LLPAnswerThe interviews were not difficult, mine were simply
one-on-one and conversational. However, if you aren't prepared with a lot of questions and aren't able to ad lib off of their responses, you might struggle. Be comfortable and confident, but also give clear and definitive responses. Don't say you'll do anything they want, say you want audit or tax and even profit/non-profit if you want it. Also, if you want the job ASK FOR IT. At the end of my interview I gave a little last pitch about how I really wanted the position and that they were my number 1 choice (but only say it if you mean it, which i did).

text: Common Names: Armyworm Scientific Name: Order Lepidoptera, family Noctuidae, many species Size: Larva - 1-1/2", adult moth - 1-1/2" Identification: Armyworms are the immature stages of dull-colored nocturnal moths. Larvae are caterpillars that range in color from pale green to brown or black, often striped with white to yellowish lines from head to tail. Look for pruned turf. Biology/Life Cycle: Complete metamorphosis. Egg, larva, pupa, adult. One brood a year. Hibernate in the egg or partially grown larval stage. Pupate in the soil. Habitat: Grasses, vegetables and ornamental plants. Feeding Habits: Feed mostly in the spring and early summer. Eat small grains, stems and foliage. Especially fond of corn, millet, and bluegrass, but will also eat other grasses such as bentgrass and bermudagrass. Economic Importance: Destruction of plant foliage and entire plants. Especially destructive to young seedlings. Natural Control: Parasitic wasps such as trichogramma, parasitic flies and ground beetles. Organic Control: Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) products. Orange oil and neem products are contact killers. Plant oil products are also effective.Insight: Armyworms are one of the few insect pests that will attack turf grasses; they can be a serious pest on golf courses using artificial techniques. They seem to appear out of nowhere. Flush out with soapy water to check for level of infestation.

Not Quite San Pedro
Trip Start
Jul 14, 2006
Trip End
Jul 24, 2006
Of course the famous Mermaid attracts a lot of attention. It is right off the water and we were there about 10 minutes during which time 3 boats with about 50 people each got close enough for a picture and then turned and went back. Of course there were even more people taking pictures from the boardwalk. Luckily we had a beautiful day. We also went to the Tivoli Gardens at night. This is their amusement park and rumor has it that Walt Disney visited this park and got inspiration for Disneyland. We could actually see some of the similarities, When it got dark, or dusk, they turned on thousands of lights to light up the entire place which was beautiful. We listened to some bands, heard the screams from the roller coasters, had some ice cream and a beer and covered the grounds to check out all the gardens. It was a very nice place, but of course no Disneyland!
A highlight of the city had to be a Mexican Restaurant we stumbled upon the first night we were there. It was a bit fancy - they had wine glasses on the tables, but it was definitely Mexican Food - and the food was good! That is extremely hard to come by while traveling so we were in seventh heaven!

Niko Smellic Join Date: Mar 2007 Posts: 49 | War horse & golden guns I bought the limited edition version of Red Dead Redemption, this EXACT version in fact, from Game - http://www.game.co.uk/Xbox360/Action...mited-Edition/ The only item code I got with it was for the Deadly Assassin outfit. Should I have got codes for the golden guns and war horse too? Where the hell are my exclusive items that I paid extra for? Also, when it says that it includes the 'originally scored soundtrack' what does it mean? Was I supposed to have received another disc with it? __________________ |

Ralf Schumacher's DTM switch isn't going well (DTM)
Six races into his first DTM season and six-times F1 Grand Prix winner Ralf Schumacher is struggling to make an impression:
Round | Qualifying | Race |
Hockenheim | 15 | 14 |
Oschersleben | 13 | 10 |
Mugello | 13 | DNF |
Lausitzring | 13 | 13 |
Norisring | 11 | 16 |
Zandvoort | 19 | 12 |
He's only made one appearance in the top ten in qualifying or the race all year.
Yes, he's in a year-old Mercedes but he's not the only one. At Zandvoort last weekend he qualified last and 0.8s slower than Gary Paffett who had the same equipment.
Perhaps it's too soon to judge how the younger Schumacher is doing in the DTM.
But you expect a certain level of performance from a multiple Grand Prix winner and being stuck at the back of the field in a touring car race isn't it. What's going wrong for him?

A foot in the past
If you look at women dressed in 1910, it looks like they are in period costume. But if you look at their style from the 1920s, they could still be wearing what you and I are wearing today, " Elizabeth Semmelhack pauses, "so, have you wondered what must have happened in those 10 years in between to change things so drastically?" she asks, scanning our faces with an air of expectancy.
We are standing at the astounding Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, quite the city of museums and culture, trying to understand social history through, well, heels.
A seriously multicultural city, Toronto does its best to preserve and showcase pop culture. As I have ambled through its downtown area, I have discovered the smattering of comedy clubs and theatres devoted to Shakespeare, Shaw and simply mystery. War Horse, that superb production set around World War I, the toast of London, is now playing in this city with the biggest concentration of theatres outside London and New York. And jaw-dropping dinosaurs are on display at the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum). But amidst all this, really, it is the shoe museum that takes your breath away. And not just because you are a young woman with perhaps a Cinderella-fixation and an inordinate love for all well-crafted adornment for the feet.
The Bata Museum is the biggest and perhaps the only-of-its-kind museum dedicated to footwear in the world. There are more than 10, 000 pairs here, collected, researched and exhibited, and Elizabeth, the curator, is taking us through some of the most prized collections here. We've ooh-ed and ah-ed over a huge monogrammed Louis Vuitton trunk designed to keep tens of pairs, each needed for separate occasions, by women of leisure in more stately times.
We've taken in with wide eyes the celebrity collection: ballroom slippers worn by Queen Victoria, Elton John's monogrammed silver platform boots, Elvis's blue patent loafers, Pablo Picasso's zebra striped boot and looked out for Indira Gandhi's shoes. Then there have been the shoe-stoppers : the 18th century shoes of former Nizam of Hyderabad Albar Ali Khan Sikander Jah, fully embroidered with gold thread and embellished with rubies, diamonds and emeralds. We scarcely dare to breathe in the magnificence as Elizabeth, with a twinkle in her eye, tells us the story of their theft from this very site and almost miraculous recovery.
But really shoes are so much more than the personal circumstances of their owners. Instead, they reflect the social history of an entire civilisation, of thousands of men and women who lived at a common point in time, and tell us in an intimate way of what must be the stories of entire generations.
And that's why the guided tour of the 1920s and footwear styles of the "flapper", decadent, gin-in-bathtubs era becomes a peep into a world full of many other things than just shoes. As more women came into the workforce with the vacancies created by wartime loss of men, as they gained the right to vote, and as they contended with the pulls of two contrary expectations - "being more like a man" and "being feminine enough", it was the heels that gained ground, quite literally.
As we take in a beautifully embellished shoe with rhinestones sewed on to the fabric, tapering towards the toe, with the trendy straps and narrower heels that defined the 1920s look, we finally realise the reason behind specific shoe styles - the Tstrap, bar shoes, embellished shoes - taking off only in that particular decade of American history and not before. For one, with women taking to wearing shorter (often shapeless) dresses, shoes were now a visible accessory for the first time in their history. And shoe designers like Andre Perugia came into their own, with their name spelling luxury quite in the manner of our own Blahniks today. With the stock market doing well and the war being over, this was the time to celebrate - and dance, this being the age of Jazz after all. What better than bar shoes and those with T straps that wouldn't come off while dancing the night away.
I wonder at the social destinies of the papyrus slip-on wearing Egyptian women (those early shoes have been found from the tombs), of medieval Dutchmen in their seriously gigantic clogs, of peasant Chinese girls with feet smaller than children's, and of 19th century chestnut-crushing French people wearing their spiky clogs (an example of strictly functional shoes, if ever there was one) as we go through the exhibits of "shoes through history" - more than 3, 500 years of it. But it is the 1960s Roger Vivier exhibition at another gallery in this museum that has us drooling. Who says the '60s are dead? I would wear those shoes any day.
Vivier, a designer for Christian Dior, has been credited with the stiletto. In fact, he only refined it. (1950s designer Charles Jourdan needs to be thanked for the stiletto, developing the slimmest possible heel on new light pumps with cut toes, curved vamps and enticing "v" shapes. ) But in the 1960s, the bohemian age of Marilyn Monroe and the Beatles, heels definitely got higher and more slender while buckles became plainer but prominent to go with the fashionable mini-skirt. Vivier reinterpreted older "gentlemen's buckles" as the more feminine "Pilgrims buckle" popularised by Catherine Deneuve, still to be found on shoes today. It was the coming of a more modern era. As we take in a pair of blue silk satin "bottines" designed by Vivier, it is with a tinge of envy. If only we could slip them on...for just this afternoon. Because as the designer said somewhere, "To wear dreams on one's feet is to begin to give reality to one's dream. "

Dayton, Ohio Firefighters Extricate Driver
On April 15, 2003, at 13:14 hours the Dayton, Ohio Fire Department dispatched Engine 9, Ladder 11, Ladder 13, Rescue 13, West District Chief-1, North Senior Medic-1, Medic 14 and Safety 4 to an auto accident with someone trapped at South Bound I-75 at the I-35 interchange. Train 6, a firefighter/paramedic, was in the area and responded.
On his arrival he found a car into the rear of a semi-trailer with victim tapped in the auto. A nurse who was on her way to work at Sycamore Hospital was already on scene and began giving care. Crews then began extraction efforts. Dayton Fire Department crews did an excellent and quick extraction on a difficult accident.
The lone male victim was freed in 10 minutes of crews arrival. The victim was transported to Miami Valley Hospital with severe head injuries. The victim is currently listed in critical condition.

The parade of retired generals has finally been heard. General Abizaid, Commanding General of CENTCOM, has requested more manpower to garrison Iraq. More than a few news outlets have reminded us about how seemingly prescient the now—retired Army leadership has been about this issue. For example, Rowan Scarborough in the Washington Times devotes space at the end of an otherwise matter—of—fact piece about the new troop requirements, to remind us of the comments of then Army Chief of Staff Gen. Shinseki testifying before Congress about the need for more occupation troops in Iraq. And, in the April 19th issue of Time Magazine , retired General Barry McCaffrey gets down to specifics and states that we need 80,000 more troops in the active Army component to bolster our strategic depth.
They are most certainly right, given the course of events in Iraq in the past few weeks. Gen. McCaffrey points to important global considerations, such as the problem of fielding additional troops while leaving critical parts of the globe unprotected, or possibly moving towards conducting a greater mobilization of National Guard brigades.
However, what many fail to recall is that many of these needed troops 'disappeared' during the 90s, when these retired generals were in positions of leadership to actually affect the future capabilities of the Army. It's certainly legitimate to criticize Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, and claim that he does not listen to the calls of what is best for the Nation and the Army. But if the critic has himself had a role in the degradation of the best military in the world, then gripes about inadequate force levels may raise a few eyebrows. Therefore, an examination of what actually happened on the watch of the retired General Officers is necessary.
The Army that was victorious in Gulf War I was already in the process of reducing its strength when the alert for Desert Shield was announced. Initially, the force reduction was based on the realization that the funding available during the Reagan military build—up would almost certainly decline as the eighties came to a close. Then, world events abruptly reinforced the justification of force reduction and realignment, with the collapse of the Warsaw Pact and the dissolution of the USSR.
The objective strength for each service was outlined in Colin Powell's Base Force Plan. The plan stated that the Army was to reduce its strength from 765,000 active duty soldiers down to 580,000 by mid—1997. What is frequently overlooked is that the Base Force structure and troop strength figures were an absolute floor, not a ceiling. If these numbers were to change for whatever reason, they would go up, not down. In reality, this reduction figure had already been exceeded by the Army while Gen. Powell was still Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. By 1993, active duty Army strength stood at approximately 572,000, which was 6000 fewer soldiers than the floor allowed.
The Clinton administration saw to it that this trend continued throughout the nineties. By 1994, strength had further decreased to about 541,000. By 1995, the year the first US combat formations entered Bosnia, it was down to 513,000. Even Stateside, battalion commanders realized that their individual units were ready to go, but their battalions had no depth due to an increased operations tempo, and also due to the practice of sending individual companies on temporary deployments overseas. This 'penny packet' deployment strategy wreaked havoc on unit cohesion and battalion—level training and readiness.
The Army leadership answered these problems by issuing a series of meaningless slogans designed to placate commanders and soldiers who had to accomplish more missions with fewer and fewer troops. Sayings such as 'No more Task Force Smiths'*, and 'Boots on the ground'** were outdated just as soon as they were uttered. The Army already had plenty of Task Force Smiths and not very many boots on the ground.
The operation in Bosnia was also the first indication of where all this military talent was headed after it left the Army. In a national TV appearance, Vice—President Al Gore proudly announced that the fledgling Army of the Federation of Bosnia—Herzegovina was going to be trained by US contractors. The current situation in Iraq has made the world aware of contractors driving trucks, rebuilding infrastructure, and so forth. But as far back as 1995, a foreign army was being trained, not by uniformed US military assistance personnel, but rather by private citizens via a contract through the US State Department.
In 1996, Army strength dropped below 500,000 with active duty soldiers numbering about 493,000. Concurrently, the Army embarked upon the grand experiment of 'digitization' that it hoped would greatly increase the lethality of the force, while requiring fewer troops. Eight years later, it's safe to say that some efforts of digitization simply led to viewing battlefield realities through rose—colored glasses.
Some new systems were very promising, and were worth their weight in gold on the battlefield. For example, no one could argue the benefits from accurate, GPS—based land navigation systems in a trackless desert, or increased situational awareness from enhanced command and control systems. But long—term manpower efficiencies were a pipe dream. Sometimes, systems designed to support the soldier ended up doing the reverse. The more electronic equipment that was piled on the units, the more communications specialists had to be taken 'out of hide' to maintain and repair the gear.
By 1998, Army strength dipped further, to approximately 479,000 active duty GIs, while maintaining a presence in Bosnia, and as events would soon dictate, deploying troops to Kosovo. Even though the situation on Bosnia had improved a great deal, danger was still lurking. Inexplicably, new deployment standards, designed to give soldiers new 'outs' unheard of during the deployment for Desert Shield, further reduced the manpower of units actually headed to Bosnia. For example, the time window was widened for school assignments before a soldier deployed, allowing a greater number of soldiers to be diverted for schooling. The same concept was applied for retaining soldiers on special duty with garrison activities. Apparently, after three years of Bosnia duty, the brass didn't think that this was such an important mission after all, or thought the Reserve Component would pick up the slack. At least one thing panned out for the Army leadership of the nineties: US units in Bosnia and Kosovo are now composed of Army National Guard units.
Active duty strength dropped slightly to a little over 468,000 in 1999; then climbed to 472,000 in the year 2000. Finally, after 9—11, and with the advent of the War on Terror and the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom, end strength was increased in 2003 to 490,000, and, as of January 2004, the level stands at a little over 492,000. How ironic is it then, that if Gen. McCaffrey's call for 80,000 more troops were satisfied, that the US Army would be only 8000 soldiers shy of the original floor established by Colin Powell's Base Force plan?
Even more alarming than the continuing decline in the number of soldiers in the nineties is the fact that this headlong rush into the drawdown reflects an almost fantasyland view of future combat operations. The rank—and—file was first cautioned by their leaders not to take all of the lessons of Desert Shield and Desert Storm and adopt them as standard procedures, because it was a unique campaign that was not likely to be repeated in the future. But, this is precisely what the Army did in their rationale for a smaller force.
The politico—military environment of casualty aversion, reinforced by false expectations of digitized systems, in fact bred an avoidance of the close—in battle. Remote sensing and targeting, cruise missile strikes, and precision guided munitions all provide a tremendous advantage to US forces. But in this war of annihilation against Baathist—Socialist thugs and Shia extremists, there are only so many warehouses and buildings we can blow up from a distance before the issue is settled once and for all by our infantry and tank combined arms teams.
Meanwhile, the more mundane, but critical tasks of re—supply operations also fall prey to real world considerations. Reports from Operation Iraqi Freedom show that even if re—supply messages actually got through on digitized systems, and if the required bandwidth was available, and all databases were synched, it didn't necessarily mean that the manpower existed to pack the pallet, man the forklift, or drive the trucks across 200 hundred miles of hostile territory. Also, Predator unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and JSTARS downlinks have little practical utility in conducting route reconnaissance and clearance operations, and cannot provide any realistic semblance of proactive security for Coalition supply convoys. Traditionally, a 500—man cavalry squadron is the unit of choice for this mission. Unfortunately the people with this skill set are already providing security for Halliburton convoys in Iraq, or are in the Army National Guard stuck in Bosnia or Kosovo.
The political grandstanding of the 9—11 Commission in recent weeks has fostered a slogan that goes 'Eight years versus eight months' in reference to those who actually were responsible for the sorry state of our intelligence services during the nineties. The American people should realize that the same concept applies to the current manpower problems of the Army. For some other Americans, it requires a good, long look in the mirror.
* Task Force Smith was the first battalion—sized unit deployed from Japan to South Korea in June 1950 that tried to delay the North Korean onslaught; the unit was woefully undermanned, poorly trained, and without a full basic load of ammo
** 'Boots on the ground' means cutting non—combat arms forces to allow more soldiers to work in combat—related functions

Product description
No one disputes the centrality of cult activity in the lives of individuals and communities in ancient Greece. The significance of where people worshipped their gods has been far less acknowledged. In 1884 Francois de Polignac argued that the placing of cult centres played a major part in establishing the concept of the city-state in archaic Greece. The essays in this collection, headed by that of de Polignac himself in which he re-assesses his position, critically examine the social and political importance of sanctuary placement, not only by re-examining the case of the archaic Greece discussed by de Polignac, but by extending analysis both back to Mycenaean times and onwards to Greece under Roman occupation. These essays reveal something of the complexity of relations between religion and politics in ancient Greece, demonstrating how vital factors such as tradition, gender relations, and cult identity were in creating and maintaining the religious mapping of the Greek countryside.

Review quote
this is a very good and useful collection of papers that go to make up an attractive and well-illustrated book...There are no bad papers in this volume. All contributions are accurate, scholarly and display a sound knowledge both of the relevant archeology and the relevant ancient authors...Ancient historians and classical archeologists would profit from reading it-but some prehistorians would perhaps profit even more. important collection Oxbow Book News In its diversity and in its contradictions, this volume has the merit of tracing lines of study, of throwing out directions of inquiry, and of drawing together links which are all the more needed to link the social history of the Greek world to the practicalities of contemporary archaeology.

East of the Great Lift, atop three small mesas, is Darkcloud Pinnacle, a village that the Grimtotem tauren call home. These mesas are connected by rope bridges and have only two access points: a natural slope up a fourth mesa followed by a trip across a bridge, or another bridge from the Barrens. Both entrances are well guarded.[1]
It is here that a secret correspondence between Grimtotem leaders and an unknown dark power takes place. The leaders of the Grimtotems here are Arnak Grimtotem and Harb Foulmountain. The entry path from the base begins at [31.3, 37].

Keelan, J. and Brand, M. P. and Bates, T. E. and Land, J. M. and Clark, J. B. and Heales, S. J. (1996) Nitric oxide and antioxidant status in glucose and oxygen deprived neonatal and adult rat brain synaptosomes. Neurochemical Research, 21 (8). pp. 923-7. ISSN 0364-3190
Full text not available from this repository.
Nitric oxide (NO.) has been implicated in the process of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. We have examined the production of NO., as reflected by nitrite (NO2-) + nitrate (NO3-) accumulation, from synaptosomes isolated from neonatal or adult rat brain and subjected to a period of glucose and oxygen deprivation. There was a significant increase in the amount of NO2- + NO3- production from adult synaptosomes under these conditions, whereas there was no difference compared to control in the production of NO2- + NO3- from the neonatal synaptosomes. The total antioxidant status of the synaptosomes at these different stages of brain development was found to be the same. These data suggest that the vulnerability of the adult brain to ischemia/reperfusion injury may be associated with the production of NO. from nerve terminals. The ratios of antioxidant capacity to NO. production under such conditions have been shown here to be different between the neonatal and adult nerve terminals. Thus the well documented resistance of neonatal brain to ischemia/reperfusion injury may involve the neonatal nerve terminal being under less oxidative stress than the adult.
