The voice acting is quite good, despite what they're saying being a very thinly stretched plot. The amount of audio exposition that happens after the level is beaten, messes with the pacing. I understand why they did it -- it gives you something to listen to, while checking your scores against other people, but it makes the level that you finally beat with a gold medal require you to wait a few more minutes before moving on. I only played the game on the Hard difficulty, so by the time I finished the level, I was kinda done with it. There is also a lot of text that is given to you at the start of each level, which will not make sense for over half the game.
They added three new features to the game, and removed flying units -- which helped focus the game to a ground based defense model. The first is boost towers, which allow you to cheaply route the enemies without having to build a lot of unnecessary gun towers, and they also allow buying a boost to the tower that you build on top of it (more damage, more score for enemies killed around it, or stealth detection). It was a nice touch.
The second thing they added was upgrades that you have a chance of getting at the end of beating a level. The upgrades affect a specific tower, and you can choose which upgrade to put on each of your towers before starting a level. My personal favorite upgrade was the tachyon ones, which slow down enemies when you hit them. Second to that was the one that changes the targeting to hit the strongest unit, which was great for cannons or missile towers.
The last thing they added was the ability to purchase extensions to the map, so you have more places to build, or more paths to route the aliens. It's not always clear how it's modifying the map, but after a few quick purchases and rewinds, it all makes sense.
I'd highly recommend picking it up. It was an improvement to the first.
Also, if you're confused on the new scoring system you should check this discussion. Defense Grid 1 used a rating system of remaining currency + X per core you still have + sell value = total score. Defense Grid 2 is similar, but not as transparent. It makes sense when you think about it. You score better if you can build a more efficient defense.
The typical graph for scoring in any level.
My strategy for the last level. Surprisingly it took only 2 rewinds to get to this setup.

MANILA, July 5 -- Malacanang expressed optimism on Saturday that the United Nations arbitral tribunal will rule in favor of the Philippines with regards to the jurisdiction issue on the South China Sea territorial dispute with China. "We're hoping because our team essentially prepared a strong case," Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said in a radio interview on Saturday. "We believe that we stand on firm legal grounds and we hope that the tribunal will look at our position with favor because, while some people say that it's merely a jurisdictional issue, if the tribunal sees that it has no jurisdiction, then we cannot proceed," Valte told dzRB Radyo ng Bayan in an interview. "We cannot even present the merits of our case. But we are confident on the Philippine position on this matter." Commenting on China's position not to send any representative in the UN tribunal, Valte said its China's decision to do so. "That is their choice. We cannot dictate on another country's position. We can only speak about ours. But they have already spoken that they choose—I think this has been said months and months ago—that they will not participate in ...Read more

A Parisian apartment frozen in time for 70 years
Above is a 2010 photo of a 19th century flat in Paris that had not been touched or seen by the outside world since the owner left it locked in the year 1940.
This story first broke in 2010, but it is absolutely captivating so I MUST put it out there on my blog in case anyone else has not yet heard of it.
The woman who lived in this apartment reportedly fled for the south of France as the Nazi's invaded Paris during the Fall of France in the Second World War. She left all her possessions and those that were passed down to her when she acquired the flat from her grandmother. She continued to pay rental/maintenance fees but kept the apartment locked and shuttered. She never returned to Paris.
When the woman died at the age of 91 in 2010, her heirs had her estate inventoried for liquidation.

What the update means is that they've relaxed the application vetting so apps that use the geolocation API aren't scrutinised as much as they used to be. Apple are telling users that apps can, and will, collect and store your location data, and that they're not going to stop them even if there's no reason for the app to be doing it. The app will still ask you if you want to share your location as it always has done.
Who tells you that might be happening if you have an Android phone? Or if you install a browser that enables the geolocation services of HTML 5 on your PC (eg http://html5demos.com/geo [html5demos.com] )? No one. They don't have to. They can't really, because there isn't a "gatekeeper" controlling it all.
Can you still re-download apps you purchased under an old agreement without signing the new agreement?
The link in question works using a browser feature that uploads information about you such as your IP, access points near you, and that sort of thing. This is why Google was farming access point data when they did street view.
So in the case of even these most intrusive things, the GP I was responding to is wrong regarding warnings, because your browser warns you. My comments were really targetted towards general IP geolocation that doesn't depend on browser uploads.
Personally I'd just keep browser based geolocation disabled, and it is by default in Firefox and I believe other browsers just like things such as password storage are.
People who bought iPads and iPods on the understanding that they could be used without having their location information gathered and shared now find that they *must* allow this information to be gathered and shared (I suppose you could try not updating iTunes, but then you would also have to not upgrade your OS -- OS upgrades come with iTunes upgrades -- and be prepared to be locked out of the app store, and since Apple's use of DRM prevents third parties from putting apps on your devices, you're fundamentally abandoning any hope of loading any code, even third-party code, onto your iPad and iPod).
Sounds like a class action lawsuit waiting to happen.
Have you ever noticed that the people who are always trying to tell you `there's a time for work and a time for play' never find the time for play?

Downtown's trendy Hotel Icon posted for foreclosure
PURVA PATEL, Copyright 2010 Houston Chronicle | December 31, 2010
Photo By Johnny Hanson:/ChronicleThe 12-story Hotel Icon, at Main and Congress downtown, has been posted for foreclosure at Tuesday's Harris County auction, according to court records. The hotel opened just before Houston hosted the Super Bowl in 2004.
Downtown's trendy Hotel Icon has been posted for Tuesday's Harris County foreclosure auction, according to court records.
Documents show that Capmark Bank made a loan of $19.4 million in January 2007, but the note was sold to CJUF III Centurion Icon on Nov. 18.
State records show that company was registered to do business in Texas Dec. 7.
The company, according to records, is affiliated with Canyon Johnson Urban Fund, which is backed in part by former basketball star Magic Johnson.
A spokeswoman for Canyon Johnson Urban Fund said no one was available to comment Thursday.
"It would appear that they acquired the note with the intent of foreclosing on the property and acquiring the property at foreclosure sale," said Gary Gunn, a Houston-based real estate attorney not involved in the property.
California-based Lowe Enterprises Investors, which owns the property, couldn't be reached for comment.
The 12-story structure at 220 Main, formerly the Union National Bank building, was built in 1911.
After buying the vacant building at a 2002 foreclosure sale, developers transformed it into Hotel Icon, which opened just before Houston hosted Super Bowl XXXVIII.

Summary of Recommended Standardized Procedures and Guidelines 39 that occurred during the period of the survey. This may include both positive and negative infor- mation, with respect to the overall survey process. Preserving this information will allow agen- cies to improve on future research projects and proposal submissions because staff writing such documents may consult older examples of these types of documents (Sharp, 2003). 2.7 Assessment of Survey Quality 2.7.1 Q-1: Computing Response Rates Proper calculation of response rates is important because response rates are used by analysts to assess survey quality. Higher response rates are usually desired to reduce the likely incidence of non-response bias. Until recently, CASRO was the only organization with its own method for calculating response rates. However, some years after the development of the CASRO method, the American Association of Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) developed another method for calculating response rates. Both the CASRO and AAPOR formulas are commonly used by sur- vey practitioners. These response rate calculations and related issues are discussed in Section 10.1 of the Technical Appendix. Standardized procedures are proposed regarding the definitions of the components used in the calculation of response rates. Final disposition codes should be divided into four major groups, regardless of the survey modes to be used: 1. Complete interviews; 2. Eligible cases that were not interviewed (non-respondents); 3. Cases of unknown eligibility; and 4. Ineligible cases. These categories can be sub-classified further, depending on the level required by the survey firm and the survey execution method employed. Final disposition codes, adapted from the AAPOR standards, suggested for consistency among transportation surveys, are shown in Table 9. We recommend that the AAPOR (RR3A) formula be adopted for the calculation of response rates for all household and personal travel surveys (Equation 2): SR RR3 A = (2) (SR + PI ) + ( RB + O ) + e A (UH + UO + NC ) where SR = number of complete interviews/questionnaires, PI = number of partial interviews/questionnaires, RB = number of refusals and terminations, O = other, NC = number of non-contacts, UH = unknown if household occupied, UO = unknown other, and eA = estimated proportion of cases of unknown eligibility that are eligible (AAPOR eligibil- ity rate: the same formula for calculating the eligibility rate is used). The eligibility rate for the unknown sample units will vary from survey to survey. It is recom- mended that careful consideration is given to disposition codes, that the bounds of the research are clearly defined, and that the eligibility rate for the unknown sample units should be defined from this analysis. In transport surveys (as recommended as a standard by AAPOR), it is recommended that 1. The estimation of the eligibility rate be left to the discretion of the organization(s) and indi- vidual(s) undertaking the research;

PITTSBURGH (AP) — James van Riemsdyk could feel the pressure increasing when the Toronto Maple Leafs forward went scoreless his first two games with his new club.
Maple Leafs race past Penguins 5-2
The Pittsburgh Penguins did their best to ease van Riemsdyk's load. The speedy forward scored twice and added an assist in Toronto's surprisingly easy 5-2 win over the Penguins on Wednesday.
"Both those goals, I really didn't have to do too much," van Riemsdyk said.
Not the way the sloppy Penguins were handling the puck.
Van Riemsdyk gave Toronto the lead for good late in the second period when a weak clearing pass by Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin ended up right on van Riemsdyk's stick at the top of the left circle. The quick shot that followed whizzed over Marc-Andre Fleury's glove and highlighted a night that sent the Penguins crashing back to earth after rousing opening weekend road wins in Philadelphia and New York.
Clarke MacArthur, Mikhail Grabovski and Tyler Bozak also scored for the Maple Leafs. Nikolai Kulemin added three assists and James Reimer stopped 28 shots in his first start of the season.
"I think we've showed we can play the rugged defensive game and tonight we have the ability to score as well," MacArthur said. "If we can find a way to use both things every night, you've got a good team and a good chance every night."
The victory took some of the sting out of losing forward Joffrey Lupul to a fractured forearm in the second period. The 29-year-old, who signed a five-year contract extension on Sunday, got drilled by a slapshot from teammate Dion Phaneuf and did not return. Lupul will be re-evaluated on Thursday.
"It's tough but what can you do, you've got to move on," MaCarthur said.
Something the Penguins are only too happy to do when hockey's festive return following a nine-month absence quickly turned sour.
Sidney Crosby and Malkin — the league's reigning MVP — scored their first goals of the season for Pittsburgh, but the Penguins struggled with Toronto's quickness and failed to play with the kind of discipline. The two superstars picked up misconduct penalties in the final minutes with things out of hand.
Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 19 shots for the Penguins but Pittsburgh couldn't get off to its first 3-0 start in 18 years.
"There just wasn't enough execution with the puck and management of the puck to play where we needed to play," Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said.
The Penguins rolled through the first weekend of the truncated 48-game season, drilling the Flyers and Rangers and doing little to dampen expectations about Pittsburgh being an early Stanley Cup favorite.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) may finally be able to break into Dell Computer
Corporation's product line, according to sources quoted by Forbes.com.
Reports indicate that Dell is negotiating to buy approximately 100,000
of AMD's upcoming "Spitfire" chip. Spitfire is expected to compete against
Intel's Celeron chip, their low-end CPU.
report comes barely two months after CEO Michael Dell stated quite publicly
that his company had no plans to use AMD chips (including the high-performance
"Athlon", AMD's competitor to the Intel Pentium III). This would also
mark the third or fourth high profile win for AMD in recent months (Gateway
and Hewlett-Packard were the others.)
has been no mention of Dell considering any other chip than the Spitfire.
When AMD started shipping its Athlon CPU, some observers expected Dell
would consider it as an alternative for Pentium III - class machines.
However, that has not happened as yet.
has suffered from the perception that it's manufacturing facilities were
unable to provide the same level of service that Intel's fabs were, That
perception appears to be changing as AMD gets more quarters of satisfied
customers under its belt.
If this deal actually gets consummated, it is really bad news for Intel.
Dell has been Intel's strongest supporter in the ranks of PC manufacturers,
publicly refusing to consider AMD. We expect that if such a deal truly
is under consideration, Intel will resort to the tactic of cutting a great
deal with the manufacturer. This worked (for a short while) with Gateway,
and also appears to be the reason Microsoft chose Intel for the CPU in
its upcoming X-Box gaming console. If Intel decides to play the price-cut
card, this will put a damper on Intel's profit expectations, since Dell
now occupies the top position in U.S. PC sales, having passed Compaq last
Because of the bus speed at which the Spitfire is expected to operate
(200 MHz), its performance should exceed that of the Intel Celeron - the
chip against which it's designed to compete. If AMD can post great performance
numbers against Celeron, and keep prices down, then that's another market
where Intel will feel AMD's breath on its neck.
AMD produces Sledgehammer, there's a reasonable chance it will give Itanium/Merced
(Intel's future 64-bit CPU) a run for its money. In fact, Sledgehammer
may hold a slight edge, due to its announced backward compatibility with
x86 applications - something Itanium will not have. (Note that neither
product will be here until at least September 2000, and AMD's claim of
x86 compatibility must be thoroughly verified once the product ships.)
the deal goes through, the psychological boost will be huge for
AMD. They have been trying to break Intel's hold on Dell systems, at least
partially, for quite some time. Michael Dell has publicly talked about
reasons he has/had no plans to use AMD. But as the saying goes, "Things
big question is: what will Intel do when AMD finally produces a
chipset that will allow AMD CPUs to be used in a multiprocessor server.
Presently, Intel owns that server space completely. (We of course mean
Intel architecture servers. There are numerous variations of multiprocessor
servers in other architectures.) If AMD can finally produce the HotRail
chipset (which will make AMD multiprocessor servers possible), and make
it work credibly, Intel will be in real trouble.
Assuming the reports are true, and assuming AMD makes good on its commitment,
this is good news for the consumer. If Dell sticks with Intel, it will
probably be the result of price reductions. If Dell goes with AMD, the
CPU will most likely be less expensive than current Celerons. No matter
who the vendor, we expect the result to be lower prices. If AMD can generate
enough volume from Dell, this should drop the Spitfire price even further.
(As with many commodities, CPU prices are largely volume-driven: as volumes
increase, prices decrease.)
a less pragmatic note: people who view Intel as being too powerful in
the chip business will be rooting for AMD to succeed, if for no other
reason than to keep the market a little more balanced. Intel has been
cleared of wrongdoing (vis--vis monopolistic practices), but there are
still techies out there who believe otherwise.

According to Greg Rosenthal of NFL.com, St. Louis Rams GM Les Snead says the team will not be franchising receiver Danny Amendola. Amendola is scheduled to become a free agent March 12th, and both sides are working towards a deal. However, the tag will be north of $10 million and that's too rich for a talented, but injury prone wideout. Reports are both the Rams and Amendola being 'far apart' in terms of money. Amendola was signed off the Eagles' practice squad by the St. Louis Rams on September 22, 2009. In 2012, he caught 66 passes for 666 yards and 3 TD's. var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

Apple locks TV Out in new iPods, breaks video add-ons
Did you buy an add-on display, dock, speaker system, car accessory or cable with video-out for your color 4G or 5G iPod? Were you expecting it to work with the iPod classic or new iPod nano? Think again.
Without disclosing the change to customers, Apple has locked the TV Out feature of the iPod classic and video-capable iPod nano, preventing users from outputting iPod content to their TV sets as has been done in years past. Going to the Videos > Settings menu brings up a TV Out option that is now unresponsive when clicked, showing only the word "off." When locked, video content will display on the iPod's screen, but not on your TV or portable display accessory.*
Presently, the only apparent way to turn this feature on is if you connect your iPod to a device with an Apple authentication chip built in. Authentication chips are only available in Apple products, and in a handful of products made by Apple-licensed third-party developers. The chips are not available to unlicensed developers, and add additional costs to the prices of iPod accessories. Upcoming Apple video cables that will work with the new iPods will sell for a staggering $49.
Testing results with old accessories have been mixed, but largely negative. iLounge has tested the new iPods with Apple's Universal Dock and iPod Hi-Fi, both of which unlock the TV Out option—even though the Hi-Fi has no video out feature. We have also confirmed that the new iPods do not work in popular portable video displays such as the Memorex iFlip and Sonic Impact Video-55, or most speakers with video output capabilities. One notable third-party exception is Bowers and Wilkins' recent $600 speaker system Zeppelin, which appears to contain an authentication chip and have been assisted during development by Apple, unlike its lower-priced peers.
It is unclear whether Apple will also require new accessory purchases in order to unlock video output in its upcoming iPod touch. We will have more on this story as it develops.
[Updated: Starting in subsequent versions of the iPod nano and iPod classic firmware, Apple changed the Videos > Settings > TV Out menu option in a small and relatively unimportant way: you can now select "On" or "Ask" regardless of whether any accessory is connected, but neither of these settings will work to actually output video from these iPods to an external display unless you have connected a new accessory with an authentication chip. Similarly, the iPod touch and iPhone will only output video to authentication chip-equipped accessories, bringing up a Display on TV dialog box whenever you start video playback with such an accessory attached, and refusing to bring up that option otherwise. Pre-authentication chip video accessories remain unable to perform video from the iPod nano, iPod classic, iPod touch, and iPhone.]

|Contact | Search
| Europe's countryside – more than a food conveyor beltAs human populations mushroomed and advanced production technology entered the farming sector, the view of agriculture as some sort of 'food factory' came to the fore. However, with increasing concerns over the environment and sustainability, the holistic concept of 'multifunctionality' emerged to try to strike a sustainable balance – economically, socially and environmentally – between the various uses of agricultural land. The EU-backed MultAgri project's task was to find out how this could be done.
Sustainability is all about using the entire range of natural resources, not just agricultural ones, in a manner that can be sustained in the long term – so that future generations can continue to benefit from the Earth's bounty – by reducing waste and unnecessary consumption, and by finding more renewable alternative sources of energy and raw materials.
Multifunctionality pertains to the multiple uses of agricultural and forest land: farming, wildlife habitat, biodiversity repository, tourist destination, and simply a subjective source of beauty. The concept rightly recognises that the countryside is more than a food production line and that agriculture plays a crucial socio-economic and environmental role in rural communities and society at large. That means that multifunctionality can make an important contribution to sustainability but does not necessarily have to be sustainable.
Multifunctionality has become an important component of European policy which the EU believes should be targeted through non-trade distorting and transparent 'green box' policies.
Appearance on the world stage
It is difficult to determine exactly when the term "multifunctionality" was first used. It was in use for forestry before it appeared in agricultural circles. The concept was already in circulation before the Food and Agriculture Organisation and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development examined it around 1999, although the controversies that emerged from their work threw multifunctionality into the global spotlight.
The Uruguay Round of international trade negotiations, which ended in 1994, started a period of international questioning of the legitimacy of providing domestic support to farmers, which began to be considered as trade distortive. This led to a general debate on the rationale of such subsidies, especially in countries with a long tradition of supporting their farmers, such as the EU Member States, the United States and Japan.
Why should agriculture be supported by society? To answer to this question, these countries turned to their rural economists to find if there were scientific arguments in favour of domestic support to agriculture in comparison with other economic sectors. As citizen food concerns and social demand for greener agriculture grew, multifunctionality appeared as a major concept in the context of this debate.
The functional path to sustainability
EU policy acknowledges that multifunctionality is an important contributor to sustainability and the 18-month MultAgri project sought to find out precisely how this could be achieved. "MultAgri is founded on the hypothesis that, for agriculture to be sustainable… its multifunctional dimension must be acknowledged and promoted," the project partners explain.
"Multifunctionality can lead to sustainability, but exactly how is not entirely clear," Cairol notes. "That's why it is important to support policy-makers with timely research."
And that is precisely what MultAgri set out to do. "The goal of our project was to conduct a survey of what has been achieved in the field of multifunctionality and identify research gaps."
The project focused on six main areas:
Multiple definitions and definitive challenges
A fundamental challenge they faced was determining what exactly multifunctional agriculture was – there are almost as many definitions as groups interested in the subject. "Multifunctionality is not a clear notion. Clarifying it was one of our major challenges and it was also one of our main successes," observes Cairol.
MultAgri reviewed and compared the diversity of definitions in circulation. However, the project did not aim to find "a consensus on an ultimate, 'best' definition that would fit all countries and streams of thought, or to decide what is good or not", the project partners point out. On the contrary, the diversity of understandings presented the researchers with rich pickings in their quest to determine the challenges facing multifunctionality.
Time was another key element. "The major challenge we faced was the duration. We were 26 organisations from 15 countries, and we had to coordinate this large network and get results in a limited time."
But this diversity of expertise was MultAgri's major strength. "Our broad network was essential to our ability to explore the different definitions and policies related to multifunctionality," Cairol stresses.
Multifaceted agenda
Ploughing through the available evidence was only part of MultAgri's job. "It wasn't enough for us to identify the state of the art; we also needed to determine a framework for moving forward," Cairol explains.
The network has compiled a Strategic Research Agenda focusing on four main areas: scientific aspects, policy issues, the new Member States and candidate countries, and developing countries.
But more research is only part of the story. "Although researchers are turning multifunctionality into a framework to analyse complexity, it is first of all a social and political phenomenon," the partners note. This means that effective models of governance and participation need to be devised to ensure its continued relevance.
The partners delivered their findings and final reports at a seminar in Brussels on 1 September which was attended by more than 100 stakeholders.

Coating Materials
As with Mark Twain, reports of the death of copper-based hull paint may have been greatly exaggerated—at least in California. Washington State, on the other hand, is a different story.
In California, State Sen. Christine Kehoe, a San Diego Democrat, has quietly shelved her bill aimed at limiting the use of copper-based paints on the hulls of recreational boats, the San Diego Union-Tribune has reported.
Kehoe told the newspaper Tuesday that she would hold up the bill for a year, to give boat owners, coatings manufacturers and other stakeholders more time to work out a compromise.
"We are making progress, and we will be ready to move the bill next year," said Kehoe, who did not post the decision on her web site.
Boat, Coating Groups Object
SB 623, patterned after a measure in Washington State, had drawn the wrath of boat owners and boating organizations nationwide. They feared that the bill would set a precedent that could spread to other states and other types of vessels.
The American Coatings Association also had roundly criticized the Washington State measure.
California legislators had already extended the bill's implementation deadlines by a year. The measure had passed the Senate and was awaiting approval from the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
The current version of the bill would permit only low-leaching copper paints starting Jan. 1, 2015. If the bays and rivers remain polluted, recreational boaters could not use any paint containing copper or other biocides after Jan. 1, 2019.
Boating interests say the current generation of non-copper-based antifouling paints may not be affordable, effective or sufficiently available.
Copper Reduction Mandates
On the other hand, legislators are under pressure from the San Diego Unified Port District and water-quality regulators to drastically reduce copper and other biocides in the region's waters.
"The best way to keep copper out of the water is to not let it get there in the first place," Kehoe has said.
Washington Measure Signed
In Washington State, however, anti-copper forces have prevailed, and Gov. Christine Gregoire has signed into law a bill that will eventually phase out the use of copper-based antifouling paints on recreational vessels.
But that phase-out won't happen soon. The measure, which took effect July 22, requires the state's director of the Department of Ecology to establish a committee by Jan. 1, 2016, to assist in implementing the law. By Jan. 1, 2017, the department must survey coatings manufacturers to determine what types of antifouling paints are available at that time and how they affect marine organisms and water quality.
Those results would be reported to the legislature by Dec. 31, 2017, and the legislature would enact specifics at some point after that.
Nevertheless, ACA, which represents coatings manufacturers, have said that the Washington measure sets "a terrible precedent" for antifouling paints nationally and even internationally.

At first, Tyler developed red patches and raised spots that turned purple and looked like bruises all over his legs and buttocks. Then he complained that his stomach and knees hurt. When his parents took him to the doctor to find out what was wrong, the doctor said that Tyler had the classic signs of Henoch-Schönlein purpura.
Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HEH-nok SHOON-line PURR-puh-ruh) — usually just called HSP — is a condition that causes small blood vessels, to become swollen and irritated. This inflammation, called vasculitis, usually occurs in the skin, intestines, and kidneys. Inflamed blood vessels in the skin can leak red blood cells, causing a characteristic rash called purpura. Vessels in the intestines and kidneys also can swell and leak.
The disorder was named after two German physicians, Eduard Henoch and Johann Schönlein, who first described the disease in the 1800s. Sometimes it's also called allergic purpura or anaphylactoid purpura.
HSP occurs much more often in kids than in adults, usually between ages 2 and 11. It is one of the most common forms of vasculitis in children, and boys get it about twice as often as girls.
Although no one really knows what causes HSP, doctors do know that it occurs when the body's immune system doesn't function as it should. A protein called immunoglobulin A (IgA), a type of antibody, is deposited into the blood vessels and seems to be connected to their inflammation.
It is unclear why this immune reaction occurs, but in many cases, it seems to be triggered by a bacterial or viral infection of the upper respiratory tract (sinuses, throat, or lungs). Although less common, other triggers have been identified, such as certain medicines, food reactions, insect bites, and vaccinations.
HSP cannot be passed from one person to another.
Common signs and symptoms of HSP include:
The rash occurs in almost all cases and is usually what helps doctors diagnose HSP. It may take the form of pinpoint red dots (called petechiae), bruises, or sometimes blisters. The rash usually occurs on the legs and buttocks, but can also appear on other parts of the body, such as the elbows, arms, face, and trunk.
Most kids with HSP also have joint pain and swelling. These symptoms can happen before the rash appears. They most commonly affect large joints, such as the knees, ankles, and elbows, but the hands and feet can be affected.
Stomach pain usually starts a week after the rash appears. Pain is intermittent and can be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Some kids will have blood in the stool (caused by leaky blood vessels), but it may not be visible.
HSP can affect the kidneys. Small amounts of blood or protein might be found in the urine, which occasionally can be bloody.
When the characteristic rash on the legs and buttocks is present, especially if accompanied by abdominal or joint pain, doctors can easily diagnose HSP. A diagnosis may be more difficult if joint pain or abdominal symptoms are present before the rash appears, or if symptoms take several weeks to show up. To help make the diagnosis, the doctor may recommend a skin biopsy.
The doctor also may request routine blood tests to look for signs of infections, anemia, or kidney disease. If abdominal pain is severe, imaging tests (like X-rays or ultrasound) may be needed. A stool sample can check for blood in the stool (poop). A urine sample can reveal blood or protein in the urine.
Up to half of kids who develop HSP will have complications with their kidneys, so the doctor will probably check kidney function over several months. If the doctor suspects that HSP has caused kidney damage, your child may need to see a kidney doctor (nephrologist).
Symptoms of HSP usually last for about a month. Most of the time, it goes away on its own without treatment. To help your child feel better, the doctor may recommend certain medications, such as:
Also, the doctor may tell you to stop giving your child certain medications if there's a chance that they caused the HSP.
While at home, try to keep your child as comfortable as possible. Be sure your child gets plenty of rest and drinks fluids. If your child stops eating or drinking, or develops severe abdominal pain or kidney problems, hospitalization might be necessary.
Most children with HSP fully recover within a month and have no long-term problems. Kids whose kidneys are affected will need to see a doctor for regular checkups to monitor kidney function.
About one-third of those who have HSP get it again, usually a few months after the first episode. This (along with chronic kidney problems) is more common in older kids and adults. If HSP does come back, it's usually less severe than the initial episode.

Coates, R.; (2010) Oxidation state ambiguities in cerium organometallics - a computational approach. Doctoral thesis, UCL (University College London).
|PDF - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
Seven cerium organometallic systems are studied using both density functional theory and multiconfigurational techniques in order to better understand the oxidation state of the metal in each of these systems. These calculations show that in formally Ce(IV) organometallic systems with electron-rich, carbon-based ligands the total number of Ce 4f electrons is closer to the formal value of a Ce(III) system, rather than that of a Ce(IV) system. However, there remains a clear distinction between the Ce(III) and Ce(IV) f electron density: a localised f electron being found for Ce(III) system a delocalised f density is identified for the formally Ce(IV) systems. The calculations carried out have been used to rationalise the apparantly contradictory experimental data on the oxidation state of Ce in cerocene, to analyse the claims that cerocene might represent a molecular Kondo system, to rationalise the variable energy photoelectron spectrum of CeCp3 and to speculate about the possibility of synthesising CeCp2X compounds.

Active within 3 days
I am a sweetheart! A nice girl, with her act together profesionally and in the right place in life. I have a great family. I love living close to the city! I am a profesional teacher of seven years committed to further education for work purposes. I like exploring the city and all it has to offer, but I sometimes like to retreat to the suburbs. I like to travel: some places I have been Dom. Republic, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Spain, France, etc. But I haven't seen nearly as much as I would like! I speak Spanish and English. I like eating at restaurants that have exotic foods~Spanish, Indian, Moroccan, etc. I guess I have varied tastes! My dislikes: commercial coffee shops (good thing Starbucks is about to shut down, huh?) I used to dislike beer, but I changed my mind in Mexico this Christmas, now I will drink some beer :) I like sol beer. What I am looking for? I am a special girl (that's what my friends and their husbands say!) ready to meet that special person who might be my best friend or more. I am sweet, smart, and cute and feel I have a lot to offer to that special person! I am looking for someone who is MATURE and knows what he wants (no game playing). STABLE including fiscally responsible (like myself). RESPECTFUL of others and has self-respect too.
Alumni connections , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Political interests , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Cycling, Other types of exercise, Running, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Birds, Fish, Horses
Middle of the Road
I like night spots without too much noise. I love any outdoor events, outdoor concerts, Ravinia, movies in the park, etc. If I could go anywhere, I would go to Tahiti, or see the Machu Pichu in Peru.
boats, cuba, islands, spain, wine cubes, Ravinia, Ambar/Sol beer, goth bars (I know it's so weird! I am a total prep!), french lingerie, bikinis, late night, sangria gum.
For nightlife I prefer little known or loungey environments. I am psyched for the summer. . . I have a camping trip planned to Michigan and a road trip planned in a vette!
Yeah, I read Rum Diary recently (By the same author as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas). I think I read it because someone's profile said they liked it! lol.

The use of "targeted" lends a smell of precision and, therefore, brevity, finality.
Martin Amis is not baffled by the modern world; he observes it with precision.
Once you got into the military planes, it was a question of learning your precision—how you could make turns, land the planes.
1630s, "a cutting off (mentally), abstraction," from French précision (16c.) and directly from Latin praecisionem (nominative praecisio) "a cutting off," noun of action from past participle stem of praecidere (see precise). Meaning "preciseness" is from 1740.
The number of decimal places to which a number is computed.

As he continues to demonstrate on Twitter, Nick Barnett is an automotive freak. The soon-to-be free agent linebacker, like most athletes, possesses a wide variety of rides. One in particular stands out: "Big Black." For his latest project, Barnett took a nondescript Ford F-650 and transformed it into a camouflage SuperTruck, sure to stand out amongst any crowd. https://twitter.com/NickBarnett/status/304616749742039040 For comparison's sake ... And in case you're wondering -- because gas prices are such a hot issue right now -- this behemoth holds over 121 gallons and costs $500 to fill up. It's all fun and games until someone has to parallel park that monstrosity.

Every industry has slack times, and everyone has bad days at work.
The second glitch came a few hours after that, when some of the cables used to pull the ship upright started to slack.
That is exactly the thing that allows Hank to cut Jesse some slack.
Old English slæc "remiss, lax, characterized by lack of energy, sluggish, indolent, languid; slow, gentle, easy," from Proto-Germanic *slakas (cf. Old Saxon slak, Old Norse slakr, Old High German slah "slack," Middle Dutch lac "fault, lack"), from PIE root *(s)leg- "to be slack" (see lax).
Sense of "not tight" (in reference to things) is first recorded c.1300. As an adverb from late 14c. Slack-key (1975) translates Hawaiian ki ho'alu. Slack water (n.) "time when tide is not flowing" is from 1769. Slack-handed "remiss" is from 1670s. Slack-baked "baked imperfectly, half-baked" is from 1823; figuratively from 1840.
early 14c., "cessation" (of pain, grief, etc.), from slack (adj.). Meaning "a cessation of flow in a current or tide" is from 1756; that of "still stretch of a river" is from 1825. Meaning "loose part or end" (of a rope, sail, etc.) is from 1794; hence figurative senses in take up the slack (1930 figuratively) and slang cut (someone) some slack (1968). Meaning "quiet period, lull" is from 1851. Slacks "loose trousers" first recorded 1824, originally military.
"coal dust," mid-15c., sleck, of uncertain origin, probably related to Middle Dutch slacke, Middle Low German slecke "slag, small pieces left after coal is screened," perhaps related to slagge "splinter flying off metal when it is struck" (see slag (n.)).
1510s, "to moderate, make slack," back-formed from slack (adj.) after the original verb veered into the specialized sense of slake. Meaning "be remiss, inactive or idle, fail to exert oneself" is attested from 1540s; current use is probably a re-coining from c.1904 (see slacker, and cf. Old English slacful "lazy," sleacmodnes "laziness"). Related: Slacked; slacking.

Since Unix files are stored compactly, except for the unavoidable wastage in the last block or fragment, it might be said that "Unix has no slack".

Massive Air Time
When you accidently (or purposely) flip your car upside down, the game counts this as ''Air Time''. It is possible to get massive air time by simply lying upside down then getting back on your wheels.
To get back on your wheels, you must first have the Peel-out upgrade, where you must hold accelerate and brake together for a boost. While upside down, you will still be able to use this ability, so constantly do this until your car flips itself over again. Once you do this, the game registers this as your car returning to it's ''feet'', and gives you the appropriate air time!

Weapon Duplication
You need to have a weapon other than you standard pistols you hold. First way to do this is while arresting someone you may sometimes accidentally drop your weapons or so it seems. If you pull out your weapons you'll still be holding them and there are two more weapons like the ones you were holding on the ground. The second way though slightly harder is by standing off the sidewalk say, on the grass and drop your weapons. If you pick them up at the same time the screen goes white to put you on the sidewalk again you should be holding two of the one weapon you picked up or there should be four weapons where you left them.
