On the Map: A Mind-Expanding Exploration of the Way the World Looks (original 2012; edition 2012)
by Simon Garfield
Work details
On the Map: why the World Looks the Way it Does by Simon Garfield (2012)
This is an enjoyable read, written in a friendly style, a good overview of the development of modern mapping, and how maps, in turn, influenced people's thinking about their communities, their countries, and the world. The softcover edition was as richly and logically illustrated as you might expect from a book about mapping, though the maps were limited by size and by being monochrome, so some were hard or impossible to read, and some came across as less impressive then merited.
Amiable, intermittently fascinating and too comprehensive for its own good – On the Map is all over the map. When it's good, it's very good, at least if you're a chartophile like me, and it offers a rich storehouse of anecdotes on everything and everyone from Ptolemy to Skyrim. But as a single narrative it never really hangs together.
Did I know, before I read this, that the concept of 'orienting' oneself comes from the fact that medieval maps had east at the top? If I did, I'd forgotten it. And it's always fun to read about the kind of peoples that populated those early maps, not just dragons and sea monsters but exotic cryptozoologica from the Classical world like the sciapods ('A mythical race of people supposed to have lived at the southern edge of the ancient Greek and Roman world, who each had a single leg ending in a foot of immense size with which they shaded themselves from the heat of the sun' – OED).
Other oddities survived to the modern era. The Mountains of Kong first appeared on James Rennell's map of Africa in 1798 and were still being charted into the early twentieth century, despite the fact that they were a figment of Rennell's imagination. And even modern maps have deliberately invented features – every A–Z of London includes a so-called 'phantom', typically a remote cul-de-sac, which has no real-world correlative and is purely there for copyright purposes.
So far so good. But this book tries to do way too much. There is a chapter on Treasure Island, just because a map was vaguely involved. There is a chapter on Scott's expedition to the Antarctic. A crude map was indeed drawn of their route, but this is an incident from the history of exploration, not of cartography. There is a chapter on the boardgame Risk. By the time we got on to Martian canals and CT scans of brain tissue I was getting the distinct feeling that Garfield had let his remit slip away from him.
What I really wanted was a more focussed story that told me more about – for instance – the different projections that people have used to try and solve the problem of representing a spherical surface on a plane. I was actually expecting this evolution to be the bulk of the book, but in fact it's all crammed into one short section on Mercator.
It's all a bit of a shame, since a lot of the problems here could have been simply dealt with by judicious use of the backspace key during the editing process. Still, the writing is decent, the anecdotal value is high, and if you're prepared to skim through some irrelevancies there's a lot here to learn and enjoy.
I was really expecting much from this book and came away slightly disappointed. I am a real maps lover. When I was 5, I owned my own atlas and it was my favorite book for a long time. You could seduce me into a discussion of the merits of different projections. I was really looking forward to reading this book and hoped it would be like "A Short History of Nearly Everything", but for maps.
Maybe I just hoped for too much. Some of the chapters were interesting enough. I learned some new facts about the history of mapping. But I found many chapters a bit boring, too long and lacking surprise. As a whole, the book felt too long and more like a collection of articles of varying style and length than a cohesive work.
Nice subject. Unfortunately not well worked out.
I picked up this book as a part of a challenge to read every Dewey Decimal number in the library. I picked it because out of all of the books on maps and mapping that were available, this one sounded as if it was going to be both educational and entertaining. I couldn't have picked a better book for the job. I loved being taken through the history of maps, from the first map, up into gaming technology of the modern day. Yes, I said gaming. Skyrim gets some attention in this book, as do movies like the Muppets and Casablanca.
Not being a serious map collector, I can't reflect on how this book would appeal to that type of hobbyist, but I can talk on my own perspective, that of someone who has always enjoyed looking at maps and planning ahead for my trips. I am the kind of person who plans to scrapbook every overlook and stop along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina and Virginia and include history and maps of locations. I also plan to drive the path of the Trail of Tears. I don't study maps, I have fun with them and this was the perfect way to experience that sense of fun and usefulness while learning history at the same time. I was also completely captivated by the writing style, which easily had me cracking smiles as I enjoyed various sections.
It is hard to imagine anyone who is even the slightest bit curious about the subject matter not liking this book. It's even harder to imagine that someone who never thought this book existed could contain their curiosity. The only thing I regret about picking up the book is having to return it to the library when I was finished.
Mr. Garfield does not pretend to be a serious historian. (Neither did Ken Jennings, whose 2011 "Maphead" covered some of the same terrain.) His gift is for cherry-picking factoids, and his latest book, "On the Map," is full of little conversation pieces. But this book is diminished by the way it has been produced, with an alluringly tinted antique map of Africa on its cover and nothing but smudgy gray illustrations inside.
There is a great deal that is good and charming and fun about this book. But overall, Garfield seems like that most frustrated of soldiers, the general who has to deal in the field with a battle to be fought at that nightmare spot right in the middle of a swamp of information irrelevant to his needs, and where no soldier ever wants to be: He is floundering in a sea of facts, lost at the join of four maps.

National Adaptation Forum 2013:
A Dynamic Tribal Presence
Click Here
for PDF version.
In recent years tribes have recognized the urgent nature of addressing climate change and have organized numerous tribal conventions and symposia to gather and share knowledge on the impact of climatic shifts on Native communities.
Despite these vigorous efforts among Native American scientists and others, tribes have not always been so well represented at large-scale nontribal conferences. That was certainly not the case in early April, 2013, when more than 30 tribal representatives gathered at the inaugural National Adaptation Forum in Denver alongside nearly 500 nontribal city and town managers, water managers, government representatives and non-tribal organization staff and others to grapple with ideas on how to adapt to climate impacts on a variety of fronts.
ITEP Climate Change Program Manager, Sue Wotkyns, conference organizer Lara Hansen, and others helped provide support for many of the tribal participants who attended the conference. The strong tribal showing and the perspectives that tribal environmental representatives added to the mix made a significant impact on nontribal attendees throughout the three-day event.
The NAF, organized by Lara Hansen and her group, Eco-Adapt, was created to explore climate adaptation, a topic that has received somewhat less attention than that of mitigation (reducing rates of carbon and other greenhouse-gas compounds that enter the atmosphere). Adaptation advocates have in recent years pressed their view more vigorously, insisting that although mitigation is crucial, climate change is already impacting communities and ecosystems and must be addressed now even as sluggish governmental action continues as a result of hardheaded political and ideological barriers.
The conference featured an almost dizzying array of sessions dealing with water and infrastructure, urban planning, developing a community adaptation plan (there are literally dozens to choose from), coordinating services within a community, anticipating the climate-related weaknesses of a community system, and many others. Films on the topic were screened and attendees had many opportunities to network with others and develop action plans for their specific situations.
Numerous NAF participants expressed that they knew little about the emerging science/discipline of adaptation; a strong sense of enthusiasm for understanding adaptation strategies pervaded the event. Nearly as often, overheard comments related to the tribal presence and the unique perspectives that tribal members brought to the gathering.
Many tribal communities have been addressing adaptation for some time. Native people are among the groups most impacted by climate stresses, for a variety of reasons. Tied inextricably to the land in terms of both sustenance and spiritual/cultural links, tribes are often also located in rural areas where infrastructural "cushions" such as piped-in water sources and easily accessible food are lacking. Subsistence and strong cultural ties to tribal ecosystems make the issue of adaptation crucial to the continuing vigor of Native communities.
Tribes in the northern-tier states, and particularly in Alaska, now suffer the most obvious impacts of atmospheric warminga fact that surprised many nontribal participants. But tribes (and nontribal communities) across the U.S. have felt the impacts of rampant carbon combustion in the form of droughts, more frequent and more intense storms, loss of traditional food sources, incursion of exotic species, and other problems.
Along with their participation in general forum sessions, tribal members attended tribal-specific breakouts designed to deal with climate issues and their impacts on Native communities. The tribal sessions were notable for going beyond simply sharing information; several of those gatherings emphasized problem-solving, and a number of action items were developed by tribal participants. National Wildlife Foundation staff member Garrit Voggesser, who often works with tribes and helped organize tribal participation as well as presenting at the conference, followed up with coordinating emails to tribal participants to help carry the process of adaptation planning forward.
Integrating the efforts of tribal and nontribal scientists, technicians and ways of thinking offers the promise of improving strategies and stimulating broader perspectives on the issue. That exchange clearly goes both waysduring the conference numerous participants, many of whom had rarely interacted with tribal people in the past, repeatedly made comments such as, "There was a tribal person in my breakout session, and from her we got a completely new perspective on adaptation."
Opening communication lines on climate change is a process that cant help but benefit all communities. The organizers hope to see even more tribal reps at the next NAF, which is tentatively scheduled for 2015.

Butt dialing, or pocket dialing, is an accidental mobile phone call from a person's pocket. The calls can result in embarrassment for the caller, or cost the person needed phone minutes if the call is not ended quickly.
Pocket dialing from a residence in Florham Park may cost a local man more than that.
NJ.com reported that Florham Park police received a call from the cell phone of 22-year old Andrew Mcfarlane, who had called 911 by accident. While the cell phone call was still active, the police heard talk of marijuana use at the residence.
Officers Brian Mensing and Kevin Langereis responded to Mcfarlane's call. Florham Park Eagle News reported that Mcfarlane cleared marijuana-related items from a table in the center of the room before opening the door of his home to the policemen.
Mensing later learned that a small clear zip-lock bag suspected to contain marijuana had been taken from the table, along with a marijuana grinder, and a pipe used for smoking marijuana. The officers had also seen suspected marijuana residue there, according to police.
Police said Macfarlane was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of under 50 grams of marijuana, according to NJ.com.
New York Daily News reported that New York's emergency communications system received close to 4 million calls in 2010 from people who accidentally dialed 911 on their cell phones.

Weoley Castle is a residential suburban district in south-west Birmingham, England. The area is part of the Weoley local authority electoral ward, and also comes under the Northfield local council constituency.
The suburb of Weoley Castle is bordered by Selly Oak to the east, Harborne to the north, Bartley Green to the west, and Weoley Hill and Shenley Green to the south. At its heart is the shopping area of Weoley Castle Square.
The area takes its name from ruins of a moated and fortified manor house (SP021826), now owned by Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery. The castle ruins are a Grade II listed building,[1] and the site became a Scheduled Ancient Monument in 1934.[2]
Between 1960 and 1961 excavations took place at Weoley Castle which unearthed a 13th-century wooden building. The substantial stone remains and the moat can be seen from the viewing platform which is open daily. A recent Heritage Lottery, Birmingham City Council and English Heritage funded project has led to consolidation of the ruins and the creation of a community education centre where schools sessions, community meetings and events are held. The ruins are supported by a volunteer group called the Castle Keepers.
Weoley Castle Library serves the district, and Weoley Castle Museum is a visitor attraction that is also located in the suburb. Weoley Castle Walkway is an area of recreation ground that is located mainly within Selly Oak and Quinton. The Lapal Canal is within the grounds and is maintained by the Lapal Canal Trust
Housing estate[edit]
Weoley Castle was mostly developed for council housing during the 1930s, and in 1935 the 10,000th council house in Birmingham was officially opened in Hopstone Road by the later Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. This made Birmingham the first local authority in Britain to build 10,000 council properties - just 15 years after building its first. The completed Weoley Castle housing estate consisted of nearly 3,000 homes.[3]

Hey there everyone,
Happy new Year! I hope you all had a good start to 2013! And to all of those new to AMPt Community: Welcome, great to have you here!
Have you already had a look at all the groups here on AMPt Community waiting for your participation? Groups are the perfect places to get together mobile photographers with same interests. Groups are communities within our great community.
We're from AMPt Architecture: Multifaceted architecture photography. City Portraits. Photo features, interviews, discussions, tutorials and more. There's a lot to come. So if you're into architecture photography of any kind and want to meet other mobile photographers with similar interests feel free to join us at AMPt Architecture.
Some of you might have already seen the changes on our group's main page. For those who haven't seen it yet: We added a new Page called AMPt Architecture CITY PORTRAITS.
What is it all about? Well, our goal is to create complex and multifaceted galleries of cities all over the world. We want to build a portrait of each city consisting of your architecture photos. People coming to this site can discover the featured cities and see them in all facettes you offer with your great photos.
This whole thing works tag-based. So if you want your architecture photo to show up in a city's gallery, you need to use certain tags. As for now, this is a bit tricky because the tags differ between small letters and uppercase. To make this easier we decided to use only small letters! To make the magic happen please tag your photo:
Whereas the ccc stands for the city (or a shortcut). Please have a look if there's already a tag for your city. The city may either already have a tile on the CITY PORTRAITS page we created or you can have a look at the discussion area in our group. I created a discussion in AMPt Architecture so that you can reply there which tag you used for your city. Before creating a new tag please have a look here if someone already created a tag for a city, it's important that we all use the same tags.
As soon as there's a reasonable amount of pics for a city, we will create a tile so that you can access the gallery easily from the goup's CITY PORTRAITS page. I hope all of you are fine with the fact that we could use one of your photos for such a tile.
On top of our group's main page you can also find a link to all our architecture shots tagged ampt_architecture. This gallery will also be the base for our photo-features we're planning for the future. So we encourage all group members to tag their architecture photos ampt_architecture!
If you have any questions feel free to ask us.
Tags that already exist:
Views: 208
Martin, Emily, Phil, I think this is such a great addition to the site!! I'm so happy to see it being shared on the main page for everyone to see and I'm looking forward to seeing the "world tour" of images thanks to this!! Great work guys, I'm gonna go tag a few shots of my own!!
I noticed that I have to be a member of the group to add to the discussion where we list the tags we're creating. Will the tag still work if I'm not a group member?
I want to start a tag for New Bedford, MA. It's very historic and has the country's largest fishing industry. I am planning on taking a lot of photos there this winter and would love to add these old buildings to your galleries.
USA - New Bedford: ampt_architecture_newbedford
I just created ampt_architecture_barcelona. Join in!
Hey martin, phil, & emily. great work here.. fantastic photo and edit too. Best wishes to all! :D
Barcelona is up now. Thx a lot Nei for tagging your amazing photos of this beautiful city. In my opinion Barcelona is one of the most underestimated cities worldwide. It's so beautiful, cultural and it's feel is without comparison.
@Nookie & Neal: Thank you very much, we're glad you like it! Much appreciated!
How fabulous! I wish I was stil living in Singapore or London. :)

Right off the bat this adorable, childhood sweetheart couple knew they wanted a huge celebration for their big day. But they didn't want it to feel big and cold so they took the time to write each and every guest hand written notes to go at their place setting. That's over three hundred heart-felt hellos and such a fabulous idea! I'm loving their traditional chic affair and the stunning images by Zev Fisher Photography that go along with it.

And then you throw some camels into the mix for some post-wedding session gorgeousness and, well...

I would prefer the keeper league, small wonder since I have Ness. Keep in mind that guys may be keeping guys on their team that weren't first round picks. I picked up Mr. Marable in the 6th or 7th round I think so there may be others.
"Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until they speak."
Well, again, it's not my league, I'm just going off what we have done in my fantasy baseball league the last six years. It's a league of sports writers, which sucks when one of them is the Reds beatwriter (and he adds and drops on insider info!).
When people elected to NOT use a keeper, the person giving up the pick had his name thrown back in the hat for a draft position.
Marable, by definition, would have been a "GREAT" keeper pick. He's they type of wrestlers the keeper rounds are designed for, the "prospect," so to speak.
I'm still debating on how I want to do it. Other than Grips, and Gofer I don't know how many people we get back would definitely keep guys.
I am still debating on keeping anyone. I am good either way.
RIP Jacob Schlottke; KR1963 and rpayton
Count this guy in, keeper or not.
You do the math..... I'll do the alfredo!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
I'm in this year, regardless.
Is the league full or can a new guy join?

Under the leadership of Assistant Attorney General Christine Varney, the Antitrust Division has continued to vigorously protect consumers through its civil enforcement program. This year, the Division filed its first unilateral conduct case arising solely under Section 2 of the Sherman Act since 1999, and obtained a significant court ruling permitting the United States to obtain equitable disgorgement under the Sherman Act for the first time in the 120-year history of the Act. The Division's civil investigations and subsequent challenges have maintained competition in a variety of areas directly affecting U.S. consumers, including health care and health insurance, air and rail transportation, employment, credit cards, access to cable and internet programming, and steel production. Many of these efforts involved close coordination and synchronization with other parts of the Government, consistent with Assistant Attorney General Varney's vision that enforcement of the antitrust laws is most effective when we realize that disparate agencies are all part of "one government."
Transportation, Energy, and Agriculture (TEA) Section and Front Office meeting. (L-R) TEA attorney Robert Young, TEA Assistant Chief William Stallings, Economist Thomas Jeitschko, Counsel to the AAG Joseph Matelis, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Sharis Pozen, Chief Counsel for Competition Policy Gene Kimmelman, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Joseph Wayland, and Director of Civil Enforcement Patricia Brink.
The Antitrust Division has been active this past year challenging anticompetitive conduct spanning collusion among employers, group boycotts, and contractual restrictions that distort competitive market forces. Several matters remain in litigation, and others resulted in prompt injunctive relief.
The Division has brought two recent challenges to anticompetitive conduct in the health care sector, a key priority for Assistant Attorney General Varney as the Division continues its extensive involvement with health care in the United States:
On October 4, 2010, the Division, joined by several states, challenged rules that American Express, MasterCard, and Visa have in place that prevent merchants from offering consumer discounts, rewards, and information about the costs related to use of their credit cards, raising the costs for merchants and, ultimately, resulting in consumers paying more for their purchases. The Division obtained a favorable settlement with MasterCard and Visa, which is under Tunney Act review, pursuant to which MasterCard and Visa agreed to lift their anticompetitive restrictions on merchants. The ongoing litigation against American Express seeks to reach the same result, so that merchants will be able to take full advantage of their new options under the proposed settlement with Visa and MasterCard. These actions directly affect billions of dollars of commerce, and successful Division prosecution has the potential for substantial consumer savings.
In September and December 2010, the Division filed two civil antitrust lawsuits, with companion settlements, against several high technology companies and digital animation studios, Adobe, Apple, Google, Intel, Intuit, Pixar, and Lucasfilm, to prevent the companies from entering into agreements restraining employee recruitment. The companies had entered into one or more bilateral agreements, pursuant to which they agreed not to actively recruit one another's highly skilled technical employees. These per se illegal agreements distorted the competitive process in the labor market to the detriment of those employees, who were likely deprived of better job opportunities.
On February 2, 2011, the United States District Court for the District of New York issued a significant decision approving the Division's settlement with KeySpan Corporation stemming from KeySpan's use of anticompetitive financial swap agreements to the detriment of electricity consumers in New York. In approving the first disgorgement payment to the United States as a result of a Sherman Act violation, the court noted: "This case is an important marker for enforcement agencies and utility regulators alike. Approving disgorgement as part of the Government's arsenal tilts incentives back in favor of competitive bidding and deters the use of derivatives as tools to manipulate a market."
Antitrust Division merger enforcement has benefited millions of U.S. consumers in several key sectors of the economy.
On Jan. 18, 2011, the Antitrust Division, joined by five states, announced it would require Comcast Corp., the largest video programming distributor in the United States, to license programming to online competitors, abide by antiretaliation provisions, and refrain from violating Open Internet requirements in order to proceed with its proposed joint venture with NBC Universal (NBCU). The remedy, which is under Tunney Act review, will ensure that opportunities for new content distribution models are preserved. In particular, the Division was concerned that the merger would enable Comcast from harming nascent online video distribution through its control over NBC content; the settlement is designed to preserve the premerger possibilities for this emerging business form, which have the potential to upset existing business models. In addition to the five states, the Division cooperated closely with the Federal Communications Commission.
On August 27, 2010, in response to the Division's expressed concerns regarding competitive effects of the proposed merger between United Airlines and Continental Airlines, the parties agreed to transfer takeoff and landing rights and other assets at Newark Airport to Southwest Airlines. The proposed acquisition resulted in a competitive overlap on a limited number of nonstop routes, with the Division's major area of concern focused on Continental's hub at Newark Airport. Continental's high share of service at Newark Airport, coupled with a limited availability of slots, made entry by other airlines difficult. The transfer of Newark slots to Southwest, a low cost carrier that had limited service in the New York metropolitan area and no presence at Newark, will significantly benefit consumers on overlap routes, as well as other routes.
On November 29, 2010, the Division obtained a settlement with GrafTech International, a major producer of graphite electrodes, to significantly modify its supply agreement with ConocoPhillips, and implement substantial reporting and firewall obligations in order to proceed with its proposed vertical acquisition of Seadrift Coke. Such concessions were necessary to remove the ability and incentive for GrafTech and Conoco to coordinate on the price and output of a critical petroleum product used in the production of graphite electrodes.
Tony West, Assistant Attorney General Civil Division, and Christine Varney, Assistant Attorney General Antitrust Division, after a joint initiatives meeting.
As detailed above, many of the Division's enforcement actions were taken in conjunction with other competition enforcers or other parts of the Government. For instance, the Division has worked, and continues to work, closely with the Michigan Attorney General's office in its investigation of, and subsequent litigation over, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan's use of anticompetitive contractual clauses with hospitals. The Division also worked closely with the relevant states in the investigation and suit against the major credit card carriers, as well as with the Federal Communications Commission and the relevant states on the Comcast/NBCU transaction. In a number of other matters, the Division continues to coordinate with the other Federal agencies that regulate particular industries, including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Department of Transportation.
Premerger notifications under the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Act increased this past fiscal year, from 716 notifications in FY 2009 to 1,116 in FY 2010. That upward trajectory continued in the first quarter of FY 2010–2011, during which we received 436 filings, compared with 285 filings in the first quarter of FY 2009–2010.
The Antitrust Division's merger enforcement has kept pace with the increased number of HSR filings. Since the last American Bar Association Spring Meeting, the Division filed six merger enforcement actions, all of which resulted in settlement. The Division also recently settled a litigated merger enforcement action brought in 2010 against Dean Foods. In addition, parties either restructured or abandoned six other transactions in response to a Division challenge.

Satellite TV was usually a great option for those living in rural America without access to cable services. These huge dishes were costly and an eyesore.
This has changed and the advanced technology of Satellite TV Dish, with their smaller size and easier installation has opened up markets for residential use in cities and virtually anywhere people live. Dish sizes now can be as small as 18" in diameter. So, even if you live in an apartment you can have satellite TV. You don't need permission from the landlord as the FCC has ruled it's illegal for them to refuse you this permission.
Satellite TV brings you a fantastic range of entertainment packages that are specially meant for entertaining the viewers.
The large number of DISH Network Channels available provide the consumer a wide array of customized choices to best meet their individual viewing preferences and budgets. Satellite TV's diverse choices of programming and over 500 channels are superior over cable packages and programming selections. DISH Network packages offered can also later be altered as individual preferences change, whether upgrading to a higher number of programs, or downgrading to a more basic program.·
The rapid growth and technological advances has also brought the costs down so much that the packages offered can fit any household budget. In the not too distant past, you would have to purchase equipment, satellite tuner, converter boxes and pay for installation, but not anymore! Most equipment and installation is free. Additional receivers may cost, if you have several TVs.·
The experience you can expect with Satellite TV:
Many programs are commercial free, and you can access foreign programs, all the sports you can dream of, and even access all the music you want. News, documentaries, movies galore, it's all there with a click of the remote. The quality in picture and sound is fantastic. Wire it to your audio system or surround sound, and you have your own home theatre, just supply the popcorn!·

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 week to 1 monthPros:
+ Brigthness: Those are very bright, i modded my Mag 3C with one of those. At the moment i use direct drive and the LED only runs at ~1,3A ... the batterys can't put out more ... but it's still very bright.
+ Easy to mount and glue on a heat spreader thanks to the star layout
- you need to buy other stuff (driver, proper batterys) to use this LED at full power
I think about using the "6-18V 3000mA 3-Mode Circuit Board for XM-LT60 Emitters" and 3x 25500 Li-ions to bring the LED to full power ... it should work :)
Great LED for everyone who wants to mod oder built a flashlight or other sort of light.

Additional dosage information:
Usual Adult Dose for Iron Overload
Iron overload due to thalassemia: The recommended initial dose is 25 mg/kg, orally, three times daily for a total of 75 mg/kg/day.
Renal Dose Adjustments
Data not available.
Liver Dose Adjustments
Data not available.
Dose Adjustments
Dose adjustments up to 33 mg/kg, orally, three times per day should be tailored to the individual patient's response and therapeutic goals (maintenance or reduction of body iron burden). The maximum recommended total daily dose is 99 mg/kg per day. The dose should be rounded by the prescriber to the nearest 250 mg (half-tablet).
No dosage adjustment is recommended based on gender, weight, ethnicity, or geriatric status.
Measure the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) before starting deferiprone and monitor the ANC weekly on therapy. Interrupt deferiprone if infection develops and monitor the ANC more frequently. Advise patients taking deferiprone to report immediately any symptoms indicative of infection and immediately interrupt deferipone therapy. If neutropenia develops (ANC less than 1.5 x 10(9)/L), interrupt deferiprone therapy.
If ANC is less than 1.5 x 10(9)/L but greater than 0.5 x 10(9)/L), instruct the patient to immediately discontinue deferiprone and all other medications with a potential to cause neutropenia. Obtain a complete blood cell (CBC) count, including a white blood cell (WBC) count corrected for the presence of nucleated red blood cells, an absolute neutrophil count (ANC), and a platelet count daily until recovery (ANC greater than or equal to 1.5 x 10(9)/L).
If ANC is less than 0.5 x 10(9)/L), consider hospitalization and other management as clinically appropriate. Do not resume deferiprone in patients who have developed agranulocytosis unless potential benefits outweigh potential risks. Do not rechallenge patients who develop neutropenia with deferiprone unless potential benefits outweigh potential risks.
Monthly monitoring of serum ALT values is recommended during therapy with deferiprone. Consider interruption of therapy if there is a persistent increase in the serum transaminase levels.
Plasma zinc level monitoring is recommended along with zinc supplementation in the event of a deficiency.
Safety and effectiveness in elderly individuals have not been established. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.
Safety and effectiveness have not been established in pediatric patients (less than 18 years of age).
Data not available.

Texas Undergraduate Research Day brings laboratories to legislators
(March 8, 2011)--UTSA seniors Erin Josserand and Ann Reyes took their research on the road to participate in Texas Undergraduate Research Day on February 14 at the State Capitol in Austin. The event, themed "Transforming Texas through Undergraduate Research," included more than 140 Texas undergraduate students representing approximately 50 universities and colleges.
"Research has become a critical component of the undergraduate curriculum for science students," said George Perry, dean of the UTSA College of Sciences. "Research projects teach undergraduates to navigate a laboratory, develop and test hypotheses, interpret research published by scholars and work on a team. Those skills are critical for students like Erin and Ann who plan to continue their education in graduate studies or health professions programs."
Josserand, a UTSA College of Sciences and UTSA Honors College student majoring in biology and minoring in mathematics, was nominated to represent UTSA at the event by her faculty research advisor David Senseman, UTSA associate professor of biology and a member of the UTSA Neurosciences Institute. Josserand conducted her research through the UTSA Undergraduate Mathematics and Biology (UMB) Scholar program, which is funded by the National Science Foundation.
Reyes, a UTSA College of Sciences student double-majoring in biology and mathematics and minoring in chemistry and computer science, was nominated by her faculty adviser Janakiram Seshu, UTSA associate professor of microbiology and a member of the UTSA South Texas Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases. Reyes is supported by UTSA's MBRS-RISE (Minority Biomedical Research Support-Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement) programs.
Student and faculty participants in Texas Undergraduate Research Day began their morning with a tour of the State Capitol. Following the tour, they spent an hour each in the House of Representatives daily meeting and the Senate daily meeting.
In the afternoon, the students participated in an open forum featuring more than 80 research posters. Josserand presented a poster describing her neurobiology research on the spiral waves found in a turtle's visual cortex. The research included the use of a computer model of the turtle brain to see what processes occur at the cellular level to produce such interesting waveforms. Reyes presented a poster describing her research on the microbiology and microbial pathogenesis of Lyme disease. She researched the polyamine transport system of the microbe that causes Lyme disease to determine whether the system is needed for the pathogen to survive in a host environment.
Texas Undergraduate Research Day was hosted by Senator Judith Zaffirini (D-Laredo), chairwoman of the Texas Senate Higher Education Committee; Representative Dan Branch (R-Dallas), chairman of the Texas House Higher Education Committee; The Independent Colleges and Universities of Texas and The Council of Public University Presidents and Chancellors.
The University of Texas at San Antonio is one of the fastest growing higher education institutions in Texas and the third largest of nine academic universities and six health institutions in the UT System. As a multicultural institution of access and excellence, UTSA aims to be a national research university providing access to educational excellence and preparing citizen leaders for the global environment.
UTSA serves more than 30,000 students in more than 130 degree programs in the colleges of Architecture, Business, Education and Human Development, Engineering, Honors, Liberal and Fine Arts, Public Policy, Sciences and the Graduate School. Founded in 1969, UTSA is an intellectual and creative resource center and a socioeconomic development catalyst for Texas and beyond.

Title: Entrainment of Slow-Wave Sleep to Improve Memory in MCI Non-Technical Title: Can Improving Sleep Help to Improve Memory in Alzheimer's Patients?
Duration: July 1, 2011 - June 30, 2014 Award Type: Pilot Award Amount: $150,000
Recent findings have suggested that memory storage in the human brain depends not only on the proper acquisition of information and its later retrieval, but also on intermediate processing. Interestingly, the intermediate processing that allows memories to be stored in an enduring manner appears to depend on memory processing during sleep. Accordingly, this project investigates whether some of the memory problems experienced in Alzheimer's disease are related to inadequate memory processing during sleep, and whether such a dysfunction can be corrected through a novel electrical stimulation method.
Professor Ken Paller and his collaborators have previously investigated sleep problems in Alzheimer's disease. In one study, led by Dr. Carmen Westerberg, patients who had received a diagnosis of amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (which can progress to Alzheimer's disease and is also known as MCI) reported that their sleep was not as restful as normal. A subsequent study showed that physiological measures of sleep in patients with MCI were altered from what would be expected based on their age. Prominent reductions were observed in deep sleep, which is when slow waves are apparent in measures of brain electrical activity. Analyses of memory suggested that reduced deep sleep could have contributed to patients' declining memory abilities.
The particular type of memory that is deficient in amnestic MCI is known as declarative memory and concerns remembering facts and events. New research in Professor Paller's lab is testing the hypothesis that poor sleep is an important factor contributing to memory dysfunction in these patients. Each participant in this research will learn some factual material prior to an afternoon nap. EEG recordings will be used to verify sleep in each participant and allow for analyses of brain activity during sleep. During some of these naps, artificial electrical signals will be used to stimulate deep sleep. By promoting the type of brain activity that occurs during deep sleep, the investigators expect to also improve memory storage. After participants wake up, memory tests will be administered in order to determine whether recall is superior with versus without stimulation during sleep. The results will increase understanding of the extent to which healthy memory function depends on brain events that take place during sleep, and will have ramifications for efforts to improve memory in people who are suffering from a decline in memory function.
This work builds on recent findings by Dr. Paller's team showing slow-wave sleep deficiencies in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (Westerberg et al., 2012, Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society). In their new studies, the team is using a novel electrical stimulation method intending to influence memory processing during sleep. The stimulation may encourage or entrain rhythmic slow-wave activity in the brain. Their preliminary results in a group of individuals between 50-80 years old who came to the laboratory for an afternoon nap has shown that the stimulation both increases the amount of slow-wave sleep and improves memory for information learned prior to the nap. Dr. Paller's team is attempting to confirm this finding in a larger group and extend it in a number of ways.
Dr. Ken Paller serves as Director of the Cognitive Neuroscience Program at Northwestern University and as Director of the Training Program in the Neuroscience of Human Cognition. He is a Fellow of the Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University. Research in his laboratory focuses on various aspects of human memory and related neurocognitive functions.
Several lines of research concern conscious and non-conscious memory expressions and their interrelationships. Paller's lab group is also assessing a mindfulness intervention for early-stage Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers. Other current studies probe memory reactivation and memory change during sleep. They examine the extent to which deficient memory processing during sleep can contribute to memory impairments.

The ones from SG are fine. I don't know why they mention that, as some kits don't have these anyway. It's just a section of the tube that is thrown away during a build.Originally Posted by Bradrock
It's not needed anyway.
As long as you have the fcg assembly, stock, dust cover, bolt@handle, mag-well, finger guard, spring with cups, two bushings and a barrel, all is ok.
MK3's are ok, but if I were going to build a semi, I'd go for a mk2, and keep the mk3's for rainy days.

Grilling on the TODAY show
We discuss whether the chicken is going to be ready in time. I'm confident it will, but the last thing Yankee Magazine needs is for me to cut into a raw chicken and serve it to Lester Holt — so we increase the heat with more live coals. I pace some more, I run through the recipes in my head. Are there enough side towels? What if I forget to use a towel or it's wet and I reach for the cast-iron pan, which has been on the grill for the last hour? That'll leave a mark.
Suddenly Lester and Amy Robach are standing next to me and the lights are on. Roars and hoots from the crowd. I know I'm speaking and going through the motions, but all I can hear is my heart pounding. It feels like a car crash: Just keep the car on the road. And before it has started it's over. Everyone is smiling and laughing and eating.
Like a great roller coaster ride — I want to get on it again.

Pretty Little Liars Season 2 Finale Sneak Peek: "We Have Until Midnight Tomorrow to Unmask This Bitch"
As most Pretty Little Liars fans know, the Season 2 finale (Season 2, Episode 25: "UnmAsked") is "A" day, aka the episode where we finally learn who has been harassing the Little Liars for two seasons.
In this sneak peek of the episode, the Liars worry about what "A" has planned for them at the masquerade ball that "A" has demanded they all show up to. But it sounds like "A" should be the one who's worried, because Spencer (Troian Bellisario) is on a warpath, declaring that she and the other Liars are going to "unmask this bitch once and for all."
If there is one thing two seasons of Pretty Little Liars has taught us, it's that Spencer gets what she wants when she sets her mind to it. "A" may have finally overplayed his/her hand...
Watch the Pretty Little Liars Season 2 finale on Monday at 8 pm ET/PT on ABC Family.
