Fact Sheet
VPD Data
VPD Resources
Organism, Causative Agent, or Etiologic Agent
Diphtheria is caused by the toxins released by the bacteria Corynebacterium diphtheriae.
Diphtheria is usually spread from person-to-person from respiratory secretions. Occasionally, there may be transmission from contact with skin lesions.
Respiratory diphtheria (includes laryngeal, pharyngeal and tonsillar diphtheria) presents as a sore throat with low-grade fever. Within 2-3 days, a membrane forms that may cover the throat, tonsils, larynx, nose and/or the soft palate. Neck swelling is usually present in severe disease. The membrane can lead to airway obstruction, coma and death.
Cutaneous diphtheria presents as infected skin lesions which lack a characteristic appearance. Cutaneous diphtheria is generally not toxigenic (the bacteria does not release toxins).
Diphtheria toxoid (contained in Tdap, DTP, DTaP, DT or Td vaccines) can prevent this disease. Vaccination against diphtheria is recommended for children and adults.
Recent Texas Trends
Respiratory diphtheria has become an extremely rare disease in the U.S. There has not been a case in Texas in over 30 years. Diphtheria is still present in other parts of the world and may be imported by international travelers.

Pluralist Democracy or Scientistic Monocracy? Debating Ritual SlaughterMarkha ValentaRadboud University Nijmegen November 15, 2012 Erasmus Law Review, Vol. 5, No. 1, 2012 Abstract: Many participants in the recent fierce debate on ritual slaughter in the Netherlands have understood this to be a conflict between religious and secular values, pitting religious freedom against animal welfare. The great variety in viewpoints among all groups involved, however – political parties, religious communities, scientists, the meat industry and engaged citizens – makes it impossible to describe any one standpoint as either religious or secular per se. Rather, the politicisation of this issue emerges out of politicisation of diversity in Dutch society more generally. Yet, another development is equally relevant: the growing, though still largely implicit, distinction being made between 'involuntary' minority identities based on biology (race, sex and sexuality) and 'voluntary' ones based on personal choice (religion and culture). This distinction is crucial for understanding the pressure being put today on the accommodation of religious difference when it is increasingly perceived as a form of voluntary difference from the norm. When this distinction between 'congenital' and 'chosen' minority difference is considered more closely, however, from the perspective of contemporary scientific research tracking religion in human neurology and evolution, it turns out to be largely untenable. Correspondingly, scientific expertise offers few, if any, solutions to the question of the place of religious truths in secular democracy, but only changes the terms under which they are politicised.

Texan User Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Texas Posts: 120 | Niko's Character Traits. How do feel about Niko as a whole? I know everyone has different opinions about all the protagonists of the GTA series. Niko himself is very agile and can go commando at a moments notice, but we also see him in a lot of scenes being sympathetic. Is caring a welcomed addition to the GTA series because the whole badass genre has been way over done or should we had stayed on the path of having a slick psychopath as our main character? Personally I think the formula was perfected this go around. |

Registered User Join Date: Apr 2004 Posts: 6,836 | His emotions had way too many ups and downs, both during gameplay and cutscenes. "Can I help you, miss?" He begins escorting an old lady across the busy street. He snaps, grabs her by the arms and throws her in front of a bus. Her guts strewn across the ground, he grabs her purse and takes her money.. then he says he's sorry. Or at times where you'd think he'd be sympathetic, he's sarcastic. Same with when he should be angry, he is either incredibly angry or apathetic. This might be realistic (I'd be crazy too), but I don't think it does well for cinematic value. Why can't Rockstar North look at many characters from GTA III and VC and just.. make sense again? |

Silence is golden
'The Artist': Get ready to cheer for a silent movie
"I won't talk! I won't say a word!" vows actor George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) in a climactic scene in "A Russian Affair," one of several movies-within-a-movie in director Michael Hazanavicius' "The Artist." For George, keeping that promise will be tricky; for Hazanavicius, working without many spoken words results in a quietly spectacular film.

For those of you who know Revit, you probably understand that this software sometimes acts like a child and doesn't behave just like we want to. So, like educating a child, we also need to learn to educate and manipulate Revit to acquire the results we expect from this Project Manager that has so much potential. Anyway, i hope you don't automatically assume the revit is bad… it's just an expression to control it better. The result is this blog i created like many other bloggers did on this theme. I think i'm just trying to leave my footprint in the growth of this solution that i believe it's the future of architecture software.
26 January 2010
a tip about windows schedule cost field
I could start with any kind of tip or article about Revit Architecture... so i'll start with a simple question that a former student asked me today.
This is a tip for newbies... but very useful!
in a window schedule, how can i have a cost per unit field and a total cost field? (assuming i'm not using the "itemize every instance" check box)
first step we have to create a window schedule. (the project must have windows!)
Now, when you reach the schedule properties, add some fields like family and type, count an cost.
goto Grouping/Sorting tab, sort by: family and type and uncheck itemize every instance
and if you click ok, this is the result so far:
Now what we want to do is create a new field with the total cost of every type of windows we have. Go to the fields in view properties and select calculated values.
Create a name for the field, select currency in the Type option and in the formula just type the name of the Cost field. Basically we are just duplicating the Cost field.
Finally, select the formatting tab, chose the new field called Total Cost and check the Calculated Totals.
If you didn't select a currency in the project units, you can definite here just for this field by choosing Field Format and unchecking the "use project settings".
This is the final look of your sechedule with both cost per unit field and total cost per type of window:
If you have any question or anything to add, please comment and i'll try to help you anyway i can.

Grande David!Força isso!
Muito bem escolhido o nome!Realmente pegaste no factor crítico do programa...é preciso muita paciência e destreza, acima de tudo, para contornar as dificuldades!
É sempre bom voltar a ter aulas com o mestre...;)
E foste escolher um tema que ainda não explorei mas que é de grande utilidade.
Prometo que vou estar atento e lançar a discórdia sempre que for possível! ;)
Grande abraço!
Uma questão:
Que novidades nos vai trazer o Revit Architecture 2011?Já espreitaste qualquer coisita?Nice first post David.
In the future, I look forward to see some advanced tips.
And please, do not replicate tips from other blogs! I get tired of reading the some tip in 3 or 4 different blogs, all pointing to the original.
As for these type of schedules, I usually modify the headers in it. I rename the native cost parameter to rate and what you call total cost to cost.Hi nice for sharing but I don't think that cost information should be embedded a revit file. I find it much more practical to take a schedule or an databse extraction out of revit and add costs there. Cost information can be rather sensitive information and you might not want to share it. Also if prices changes its a hassle having to go to all the families.
ReplyDeleteSo this means that Windows 8 and Revit AutoDesk are compatible. Using Revit for Mac.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great inspiring .I am pretty much pleased with your good work. You put really very helpful information. I am looking to reading your next post.

Pretty Little Liars Season 5 Premiere Script Tease (PHOTO)
We're careening toward a hiatus, but the Pretty Little Liars cast and crew will soon be ending theirs. We've already seen the writers team get back to business, but soon the rest of the gang will join suit! Check out the photo evidence that Season 5 of Pretty Little Liars will soon start production.
"Hey #PLL fans: Look what I have! Prep starts tomorrow," PLL director Norman Buckley captioned a photo of the as-of-yet untitled script for the Season 5 premiere. Showrunner Marlene King penned the script, and Norman will be directing, which is a good sign in our book. Not only has Norman churned out some of our favorite episodes — Season 4, Episode 4 ("Face Time") and Season 3, Episode 15 ("Mona-Mania), to name a few — but he also keeps us updated with behind-the-scenes photos of props, scripts, and the actors hard at work.
It's hard to predict what Season 5 might bring given that we've yet to see the entirety of Season 4, but Ian Harding (Ezra) has hinted that Pretty Little Liars will never be the same. Given that Season 4, Episode 24 is titled "'A' is For Answers," andhas been teased with the hashtag "#AliTellsAll," we're predicting some major reveals.
Another Season 5 question mark is the possible return of Tyler Blackburn (Caleb). Since his spin-off, Ravenswood, was canceled, there's been some speculation that the actor and character might return to Pretty Little Liars. We've listed five reasons why we think this is a good idea, but there's been no official word either way, so we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed.
Catch the next episode of Pretty Little Liars on Tuesday, March 11, 2014 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC Family.

For all smart phone users
If you own a smart phone and if you travel its a must have. Charges my HTC Wildfire almost twice. It's charges much faster when the phone battery is really low, but a good product all in all. Small and efficient and even has a very bright torch, I'm quite happy with the product. As always Flipkart provided before time delivery great packaging and overall brilliant service.

individuals being evaluated must depend upon a team of people to gather and analyze data in a way that they trust will produce accurate and fair results.
As Lencioni (2002) points out, no team can function effectively without trust. In university settings, administrators cannot create an environment of trust by themselves, but they can be crucial players in maintaining trust. Some of the things administrators and campus reviewers should do to engender trust in the teaching evaluation process are listed below:
They must assign faculty to teach only in areas in which they have, or can readily develop, the expertise to teach at an appropriate level.
They must ensure that an evaluation of an individual's teaching performance is considered in the correct context, such as expected outcomes for student learning, the level of students in the course, whether a course is required or elective, the size of the classes and the nature of the available facilities, and the past experience of the instructor in this teaching situation.

Save the Children! From These Top 10 Worst Easter Candies
I've never been super stoked about Easter even though my mom really went all out.
I've finally figured out that it's the candy that turns me off. Oh. And also the whole dead people coming back to life thing. Resurrection, they call it. That's kind of a turn off too. But honestly, if I have to choose between black jelly beans and welcoming back dead folks I'd go with dead folks every time.
Easter candy is just so gross.
A solid chocolate bunny? What're you supposed to do with that? Gnaw on it occasionally and then sock it away in your underwear drawer where you forget about it until July when it suddenly looks like you messed your pants and tried to hide the evidence?
And what's up with the Easter/marshmallow connection? How has that become the official Easter candy item? Is it a bunny/chick thing? Or is there a resurrection connection I'm missing?
Maybe you disagree. Maybe you like a basket full of candy that looks like the stale stuff sitting in a dish next to the glass grapes on your grandma's coffee table? The candy she tried to foist on the mailman and unsuspecting girl scouts just trying to sell a few thin mints. Maybe that's your thing?
Either way, check it out. The worst Easter candy. Don't give any of these to your loved ones. Unless you're mad at them, I mean. And then, by all means!

You've Won The Nobel Prize — Wait, Don't Hang Up!
Listen to the Story
This year's Nobel Prize winners were announced this last week. Each year, one of the first calls those winners get comes from Adam Smith.
Adam Smith is the editor of the Nobel website, NobelPrize.org. He interviews winners after they're notified. He knows the winners in advance, of course, so he's usually quick to reach them. In the case of this call with 2009 Physics winner George Smith, he's occasionally the first.
The Nobel Committee is supposed to be the one to notify winners, Adam Smith tells NPR's Guy Raz. But some people hear the news from other sources, like 2008 winner Martin Chalfie, who slept through the committee's call.
There are certain hazards of Smith's job, he says, like convincing people he's for real.
And sometimes, the people he calls don't have time for him.
One phone call this year actually seemed to upset winner Konstantin Novoselo, who was in the middle of taking measurements.
"I imagine that in retrospect, he's perfectly happy the day got messed up," Smith says.
But the best part about this job, he says, is sharing the moment before the publicity hits.
"They're elated, they're a bit surprised and confused by what's about to happen and what is happening to them, so you maybe catch them with their guard down a bit and that's nice, because it gives you a sort of window into the real persona behind the laureate."

Home from Iraq, a lieutenant kills his commanding officer—was it self-defense or premeditated murder? An enthralling novel of suspense about the high cost of war and secrets
The McCarrans and the Gallaghers, two military families, have been close for decades, ever since Anthony McCarran—now one of the army's most distinguished generals—became best friends with Jack Gallagher, a fellow West Pointer who was later killed in Vietnam. Now a new generation of soldiers faces combat, and Lt. Brian McCarran, the general's son, has returned from a harrowing tour in Iraq. Traumatized by wartime experiences he will not reveal, Brian depends on his lifelong friendship with Kate Gallagher, Jack's daughter, who is married to Brian's commanding officer in Iraq, Capt. Joe D'Abruzzo. But since coming home, D'Abruzzo also seems changed by the experiences he and Brian shared—he's become secretive and remote.
Tragedy strikes when Brian shoots and kills D'Abruzzo on their army post in Virginia. Brian pleads self-defense, claiming that D'Abruzzo, a black-belt martial artist, came to his quarters, accused him of interfering with his marriage, and attacked him. Kate supports Brian and says that her husband had become violent and abusive. But Brian and Kate have secrets of their own, and now Capt. Paul Terry, one of the army's most accomplished young lawyers, will defend Brian in a high-profile court-martial. Terry's co-counsel is Meg McCarran, Brian's sister, a brilliant and beautiful attorney who insists on leaving her practice in San Francisco to help save her brother. Before the case is over, Terry will become deeply entwined with Meg and the McCarrans—and learn that families, like war, can break the sturdiest of souls.
Richard North Patterson is the author of Exile, Degree of Guilt, Silent Witness, The Spire, Eclipse, Eyes Of A Child, Conviction, and many other bestselling and critically acclaimed thrillers. Formerly a trial lawyer, he was the SEC liaison to the Watergate special prosecutor, the assistant attorney general for the state of Ohio, and has served on the boards of several Washington advocacy groups. In 1993, he retired from his law practice to devote himself to writing. His first novel, The Lasko Tangent, was the winner of the Edgar Allen Poe Award for Best First Novel in 1980. He is a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University and Case Western Reserve University School of Law, and is a recipient of their President's Award for Distinguished Alumni. He lives in Martha's Vineyard, San Francisco, and Cabo San Lucas with his wife, Dr. Nancy Clair. John Bedford Lloyd, a graduate of Yale's School of Drama, has appeared in a host of major motion pictures, including The Bourne Supremacy, Crossing Delancey, The Abyss, The Manchurian Candidate, and Philadelphia. His television credits include Suits, Pan Am, Law & Order, Spin City, and The West Wing. His critically-acclaimed audiobook narration includes reading for authors such as Michael Crichton, Nicholas Sparks, Paul Doiron, and Atul Gawande, among others. In reviewing Lloyd's performance in Better by Atul Gawande, AudioFile magazine declared, "John Bedford Lloyd's deep, rich voice delivers just the mix we look for in doctors--knowledgeable, authoritarian tones mixed with the warm, comforting style that characterizes a great bedside manner."
"This book is Patterson at his best, and the listener is in for a suspenseful and thought-provoking listen." - Publishers Weekly
"Patterson's thriller, his best to date, has it all—including a superb narrator in John Bedford Lloyd…Lloyd is at his best in the multiple courtroom scenes as he differentiates the numerous characters. This is a real winner, thanks to both writer and reader—as well as the bonus of an unexpected ending." - AudioFile magazine, Earphones Award Winner
"A powerful and devastating study of war and its aftermath on those who fight… Patterson long ago established himself as one of the nation's best writers of serious thrillers, and his latest novel burnishes his reputation as the thinking reader's best friend."—Richmond Times-Dispatch "Bestseller Patterson explores the concept of honor—and how men and women can sometimes embody and sometimes blacken this lofty concept—in this riveting legal thriller…. Superior genre fiction from a writer at the top of his game."—Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Patterson's insights into PTSD are fascinating but never interrupt the story's flow to its explosive ending, and his courtroom drama is as intensely engaging as the most action-filled thrillers."—Library Journal (starred review) "Patterson runs a taut ship in the courtroom, and his crafty dissection of the problems of traumatized veterans returning home will have older readers fondly recalling Anatomy of a Murder."—Kirkus Reviews "In The Name of Honor is an absolute humdinger of a murder mystery, with a you-will-never-guess twist that I greeted with pure envy. This is a beautifully crafted book that offers not merely unrelenting suspense, but a close look at the dysfunctions of military justice and of one particular family."—Scott Turow "A compelling and gripping read. Patterson explores the very real pressures of the loyalty, honor, and duty that accompany military service. It's a thriller that strikes at the heart of every soldier."—Senator John McCain "As always, Richard North Patterson demonstrates an uncanny knack for selecting a topic as hot as tomorrow's headlines, but the pleasures of this book far transcend its gripping and timely subject. In the Name of Honor is a family saga, a courtroom drama, and also a rare kind of love story. There is romance, of course, but also an exploration of other kinds of love—of country, comrades, ideas. This is Patterson's best book yet."—Geraldine Brooks
"No one knows the courtroom better—no one writes the courtroom better—than Richard North Patterson. In the Name of Honor is a riveting tale of love and betrayal, truth and its role in a search for justice, war and its devastating effect on combatants and their families. As always, Patterson's plotting is brilliant and nuanced, his characters richly developed, and his prose is as elegant as it is gripping."—Linda Fairstein "Stephen King, in one of his novels, has his main character reflect that 'Patterson and DeMille are probably the best of the current popular novelists.' I could not agree more, and Richard North Patterson has done it again with In the Name of Honor, which will be very favorably compared to The Caine Mutiny."—Nelson DeMille

Boy did I have an eventful night last night. Me and my buddy went out clubbing, was going well, few drinks, few ladies, the usual, well, not for long. This club we went to is some huge place near my uni, 3 floors, loads of bars + dancefloors. We were heading down from 1 floor down to the other to meet a couple of girls when we noticed a fight break out. Obviously, being a fan of combat I thought I'd give it a watch.
Turned out it was a pathetic fight, some big dude that's obviously used to bullying people smacks this dude on the nose, he falls to ground and that's that. The big dude then looks over in our direction, where there are quite a few people watching what's going and decides it'd be a great idea to square up to me and say "what the **** are you looking at?". I imagine he was expecting me to back down and run down the stairs, I didn't, I stared at him and just simply said "watching the fight". For some unknown reason this provoked him enough to smash me in the mouth.
He smashes me in the mouth, expecting the same reaction as the dude he'd just 'beaten up' (and I use that term loosely), he didn't get it. I barely flinched, remained staring at him, and just laughed in his face. Not sure that was a completely wise move, he decided to smack me in the nose. Got exactly the same reaction, remained staring at him for a few seconds, laughed at him again, told him he was a ***** and walked off. Not sure how I remained so calm when fairly drunk, but I'm glad I decided to walk away, not getting kicked out of the club for that ****. My buddy was just in disbelief, not only at the patheticness of the situation, and the speed at which it all went down, but also the fact I just stood in front of this dude and laughed at him after getting clocked in the face twice. Who the **** lets these cunts into clubs? I mean come on, who welly's someone for watching a fight?
Turns out a bleeding nose and a decent story about a dickhead gets you sympathy from the ladies though, so it wasn't all bad. I need to get smacked in the face at clubs a bit more.

[20 July 2008]
Upon its initial release in August of 2007, Sounds Like This entered the iTunes Top 10 almost instantly after celeb blogger Perez Hilton dropped Eric Hutchinson's name on his blog. The kicker? After getting dropped from his label midway through the production of the album, Sounds Like This almost didn't get made. But Hutchinson decided to release the album on his own label, Let's Break Records, making it the highest-charting album by an unsigned artist in the history of iTunes. This past March, Hutchinson signed on with Warner Bros. to re-release the album on a major label. It seems strange that an artist who was so independently successful ended up bowing down to the corporate music machine, but as Hutchinson defended his decision in a Washington Post interview, "All these bands doing it themselves, like Radiohead and Madonna—people forget that a lot of people have only heard of them because major labels dumped a lot of money into [promoting] them. I still look at myself as an independent artist."
Regardless of the means by which Sounds Like This was brought to the public, it is a fortunate thing that it was. At first the album seems to merely mold itself into a genre that so many other modern artists have already shaped, from Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz to John Mayer and Ben Folds. This breed of music goes by any number of classifications, but whether we call it singer-songwriter, sandal rock, or blues-driven pop, the results are generally much of the same. Snappy choruses and bluesy piano or guitar chords are complemented by pseudo-profound lyrics. The artists often relate their sound to pioneers like the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, and Billy Joel, but generally the music never lives up to the standard of its influences. Unlike his contemporaries, Eric Hutchinson has broken through the limits of a stale genre and created a piece of pop that is refreshingly inventive and uniquely soulful.
Sounds Like This is by no means a seamless album, but when it occasionally falls victim to trite lyrics and predictable song forms, it quickly redeems itself in moments of real transcendence. Hutchinson's creative arrangements combine with quality production to result in a tight, crisp sound that provides powerful direction for Hutchinson's delectable choruses. The highlights are sprinkled throughout, as nearly every track is distinct in feel, with no song ever merely restating the one before it. The single "Rock & Roll" is surely the catchiest track, representative of Hutchinson's knack for hooks. But he proves himself to be more than just a melody-maker; his strong writing is displayed on "You Don't Have to Believe Me", with saxophone, keyboards, and guitar combining for a surprisingly raw sound. Similarly powerful is the moving bridge of "It Hasn't Been Long Enough". This song, while melodically, harmonically, and structurally completely within the box, is energized by the pure strength of the vocals. Indeed, the entire album is enhanced by subtle dynamism of Hutchinson's voice.
Fans of artists like Ben Folds and Jason Mraz should listen to Sounds Like This straight away. If we compare Hutchinson in the realm of the singer-songwriter, then he is clearly a more talented singer and more innovative songwriter than any of his contemporaries. Granted, there are many music listeners that despise even the notion of artists that sound like Ben Folds, and probably nothing will win those individuals over. But for everyone else, it is worth giving Sounds Like This a try—smart arrangements and Hutchinson's bold charm combine to make it this summer's most guilt-free guilty pleasure.
