NEW YORK, Dec. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Empeiria Acquisition Corp. (OTC BB: EPAQ; EPAQW; EPAQU) ("EAC" or the "Company") and Integrated Drilling Equipment Company Holdings Inc. ("IDE") today announced that IDE has been selected by a major international oil and gas exploration and production company as the preferred supplier for providing four new modular-design offshore platform drilling rigs. The anticipated total contract value is in the range of $350 to $400 million.
IDE's technical specifications and approximate bid value have been accepted by the potential customer. IDE is currently undergoing exclusive negotiations towards signing a definitive contract, which it expects to be completed in January 2013. IDE expects that the drilling rigs and related equipment will be constructed during 2013 and 2014 for delivery and installation during the second half of 2014. The order is subject to the negotiation and execution of a definitive contract as well as various conditions to be documented therein.
EAC previously announced its execution of a merger agreement with IDE. In connection with the previously announced merger, EAC is currently conducting a tender offer to purchase up to 5,520,000 shares of its common stock. The tender offer is expected to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, December 13, 2012. Upon the acceptance by EAC of the shares of common stock in the tender offer, the merger with IDE is expected to close on December 14, 2012. The acceptance of shares in the tender offer is subject to the condition that less than 5,520,000 shares of common stock are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn from the tender offer at the expiration.
Stockholders who desire to own shares of the Company's common stock subsequent to the proposed acquisition of IDE should NOT tender their shares of common stock in the Tender Offer. Stockholders who have previously tendered their shares of common stock do not need to take any other actions unless they desire to withdraw their shares, which they may do in accordance with the procedures described in the letter of transmittal and other related Tender Offer documents that EAC has filed with the SEC.
Each of Empeiria Investors LLC, EAC's sponsor, and EAC's officers and directors has agreed not to tender any shares of common stock pursuant to the Tender Offer.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Anti-GBM Antibody Disease Workup
- Author: Agnieszka Swiatecka-Urban, MD; Chief Editor: Craig B Langman, MD more...
Laboratory Studies
See the list below:
- Circulating anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibodies
- The presence of anti-GBM antibodies is pathognomonic.
- Detection of the anti-GBM antibodies is achieved by means of direct enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA). This test can be performed with less than 1 mL of blood. ELISA requires the use of native or recombinant human alpha-3 (type IV collagen) NC1 antigen as a substrate, which makes this method more sensitive and specific than others.
- The specificity of the antibody can be confirmed with Western blotting.
- False-negative rates are less than 5% and may occur in patients with low anti-GBM antibody titers or in some patients with Alport syndrome who develop anti-GBM disease after transplantation. A false-positive rate of less than 1% is related to the detection of antibodies directed against other chains of type IV collagen.
- Indirect immunofluorescent staining is rarely performed and requires an experienced renal pathologist. This test is performed by incubating normal renal tissue with the patient's serum and then treating it with fluorescein-labeled anti–IgG. Immunofluorescence indicates of immunoglobulin G (IgG) deposition and is diagnostic. False-negative results are seen in 10-40% of patients. See the image below.
- Serum electrolytes and renal function
- Renal function ranges from normal to rapidly deteriorating over a few weeks to months. Doubling of the serum creatinine level and halving of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) within 3 months indicates rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis.
- Electrolyte abnormalities, such as hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, and acidemia, may be seen with advanced disease.
- Urine
- Gross or microscopic hematuria may be present.
- Urinalysis may reveal nephritic urinary sediment with dysmorphic RBCs and RBC casts.
- Proteinuria is usually present, but protein levels are not in the nephrotic range.
- Blood cells
- A CBC count may reveal hypochromic microcytic anemia secondary to iron deficiency.
- Mild thrombocytopenia may be detected.
- Complements: The C3 level is below the reference range in 30-80% of pediatric patients.
- Antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)
- ANCA are autoantibodies directed against constituents of the primary granules of neutrophils and the peroxidase positive lysosomes of monocytes.
- ANCA is detectable in as many as 30% of patients with anti-GBM disease. Titers of ANCA and anti-GBM antibodies tend to be inversely related.
- The detection of ANCA is clinically relevant in anti-GBM disease because patients with this disease are more likely to respond to therapy.
- Besides having prognostic value in anti-GBM disease, ANCA is an important diagnostic marker in the ANCA associated small-vessel vasculitis, such as Wegener granulomatosis, microscopic polyangiitis, Churg-Strauss syndrome, and some forms of drug-induced vasculitis (eg, thiouracil). These conditions are included in the differential diagnosis of anti-GBM disease. Therefore, patients presenting with acute glomerulonephritis with or without pulmonary hemorrhage are routinely tested for ANCA.
- Sputum: Hemosiderin-laden macrophages indicate pulmonary hemorrhage.
Imaging Studies
See the list below:
- Renal ultrasonography usually reveals kidneys of normal size, with no anatomic abnormalities.
- When pulmonary hemorrhage is present, chest radiography may reveal alveolar infiltrates spreading from the hilum.
- Chest CT scanning is more accurate than chest radiography for the diagnosis of pulmonary hemorrhage.
Other Tests
See the list below:
- Results of pulmonary function tests are abnormal with pulmonary hemorrhage and may help in evaluating therapeutic effectiveness.
See the list below:
- Renal biopsy is not required for diagnosis if circulating anti-GBM antibodies are unequivocally present. However, histologic findings are an important guide to therapy and prognosis.
- Most experts recommend renal biopsy unless the procedure is contraindicated.
Histologic Findings
See the list below:
- During the active phase of the disease, cellular crescents are usually seen in the glomeruli. In advanced cases, fibrous (rather than cellular) crescents and tubulointerstitial involvement (eg, tubular atrophy, interstitial infiltrate, fibrosis) may be present. The lungs have intra-alveolar hemorrhages and are iron loaded. Vasculitis of the kidneys or lungs is uncommon but may be present in patients who are ANCA positive.
- Under immunofluorescent microscopy, the finding of linear deposition of IgG along the glomerular capillaries and, occasionally, along the tubules is nearly pathognomonic. Only 2 other renal conditions are associated with linear glomerular IgG staining: diabetic nephropathy and fibrillary glomerulonephritis. Focal and interrupted linear deposits of IgG along the alveolar basement membrane may also be seen in anti-GBM disease. Electron microscopy reveals frequent breaks of the GBM.

Finding the solution to an irritating problem
Close proximity means that headlice are easily transmitted at school
A single scratch of the head is enough to make normally sane parents panic. Their fear ... headlice.
Only a few weeks into the new school year, and far too many children (and some unfortunate parents) will already be suffering from the dreaded lice attack. Gone are the days of the nit nurse, and also gone are the days when lice affected only a small number of children. New research suggests that between 10 and 20 percent of Britain's 4 million primary school children will have headlice at any one time — up from around one per cent in the 1980s.
"There are so many kids now with relatively high levels," says Dr Ian Burgess, Director of the Medical Entomology Centre in Cambridge, and a headlice expert. "They're passing the lice around easily."
There are many reasons why headlice have become so common, but there are three main ones — changes in school practice, resistance to insecticides, and a lack of urgency in dealing with them.
Although a surprising number of parents (one in four according to the latest research) still think that their school does nit checks, most do not, which means that the issue slips out of many parents' minds. There is now a feeling that periodic inspections would, "be valueless, unless carried out weekly if not daily," says a spokeswoman from Barnet Council.
"The schools are saying it's really bad," says Amanda Coplans, who co-founded Nitty Gritty, an aromatherapy based solution to headlice, 10 years ago. "More children are sitting next to each other at tables rather than desks, there's more head to head contact, more huddling in groups, and central heating. Lice thrive in that atmosphere."
Dr Burgess agrees. He explains that this "huddling", whether to work or sit around a computer, is also partly to blame for the rise in cases of boys, and in secondary schools.
Headlice cannot jump or fly from one head to another. Instead, they crawl on or between hairs and feed on human blood. Lice lay their eggs (which take around a week to hatch) near the scalp, and generally stay close to the skin. Some people do not feel itchy until several weeks down the line.
Once a child is infested, parents have a few options. Headlice are now largely resistant to pesticide-based treatments, although many parents still use them. Instead Dr Burgess recommends newer options such as Hedrin or Full Marks Solution (not mousse). All treatments need to be done in conjunction with (the very boring) combing.
It's all rather time-consuming, but there is a new solution. The Hairforce, based in Primrose Hill, north-west London, now boasts its own headlice "spa".
Dee Wright founded the company after hearing many parents complain that they did not know what to do about lice. Customers have their hair vacuumed and combed by headlice "assassins" who go through it pretty much strand by strand (using no chemicals). Children are otherwise engaged watching DVDs or playing on Nintendos.
"We get 18-month-olds to grandmothers," says Wright. "And at the moment we're extremely busy because of children going back to school. We also had lots of Jewish families coming to us after all the summer camps. Children with lice pass it around each other. Then they go back to school…"
A visit to the Hairforce is not cheap (it is £40 a session, with three needed) but many grateful parents do not seem to mind. Wright herself argues that it is a failsafe way of removing lice, as opposed to bottled treatments.
Dr Burgess agrees that the Hairforce may have the right idea, but is put off by the cost. He is also convinced that only way to get rid of lice completely would be for the entire community to be treated at the same time.
"If you treat everyone at once, it's so much more successful, because you can really knock the lice out," he says. "What we need is a radical re-think, and, of course, continuous vigilance."

The Tucson Philosophy Group Message Board › Thoughts on Philosophical Discussions
|A former member
In addition to the links I sent Ross, here's an interesting link that has some valuable suggestions for philosophical discussion groups like this meetup: http://www.philosophy...
Someone here mentioned that people tend to fall into old patterns of arguing or discounting the views of others. It seems like it's easier for that to happen when people are attempting to discuss a reading they haven't actually read. Instead of being a discussion of the ideas as presented in the reading, it becomes a discussion of opinions about the general topic or about impressions of people think the reading might be about. If people have had a chance to do the reading and to give some thought to the arguments the philosopher is making, then it's easier for the group discussion to stay on topic. Just my two cents. I'm as guilty as anyone of not having done the readings in advance. But I think the group's discussions become more meaningful as well as more fun when members read in advance the piece and consciously aim for open, respectful, and receptive exchange of ideas and thoughts.
In a nutshell, below are some of the suggestions the article makes:
Do the assigned reading
Consider the context - Philosophical writing, like literature of any genre, arises from a concrete historical setting. Approaching each text, you should keep in mind who wrote it, when and where it was published, for what audience it was originally intended, what purposes it was supposed to achieve, and how it has been received by the philosophical and general communities since its appearance...
Take your time
Careful reading cannot be rushed; you should allow plenty of time for a leisurely perusal of the material assigned each day...
Spot crucial passages
Identify central theses
Locate supportive arguments
Anyway, it's just food for thought. Feel free to share your thoughts on the topic or any other relevant links!

3 Game Mechanics To Include In Learning Games

Seven Things I Learned This Year

Over the past few years, I spend part of December going back through my blog to recap a bit of what some of the key things I've learned over the course of the year. I've been doing this the past few years, for example: Learned about Learning in 2009. And every year I use this as a Big Question – see: Learning 2010. A lot of it is thinking through where my thinking has changed over the course of the year. So here are a few of the things that are a bit different for me. 1.

Empty words and phrases, such as the ones in bold in the preceding sentence, delay giving your readers the information they want, create a boring tone, and make your material seem vague and difficult. Strangely, these wordy phrases tend to pop up in the first sentence of an article or training document, right where you need to be grabbing the reader's attention and holding it.

How long does it take to create e-learning?
Clive on Learning
I often get asked how long it takes to create a piece of e-learning. As we all know e-learning means different things to different people, but usually people are asking about the formal stuff, in particular interactive self-study materials. Well, it's hats off to Bryan Chapman of the Chapman Alliance who has surveyed 249 learning developers (I assume mostly from the US) to find out how long they spend on an average project, both in total and on the individual tasks. He also asked what the cost of this work was at internal rates.

That's good news for all of you out there who fell foul of the recession.

Fair measures
Learning with e's
Many forms of assessment have been tried in schools. The current UK secondary curriculum is based on a combination of summative (exams) and continuous (project based) forms of assessment, and is thought to be fair because it measures learner performance over a long period of time. And yet this approach to assessment is flawed. But it's the best we have, I hear some of you say. Unported License.

What constitutes a Social Learning Culture?
The Learning Generalist
I've often thought of social learning as a very culture dependent phenomenon. A few weeks back I read an interesting article by Thierry de Baillon, his conclusion being - we don't need more social platforms, we need more human companies. A lot of social software marketing seems to suggest that the tools will change the world. On the other hand, I also see quite an amazing culture at ThoughtWorks.
Evaluating Training - Capturing the Benefits Aspects of ROI
Training evaluation is necessary and, in many ways, critical to the success of a business. But because short term priorities always seem to take precedence, it is typically something we plan to do better in the next course, or maybe next month, or even next year. After all, we've managed pretty well up to now, so surely another year can't hurt!
Everything about ILT

How can an ID add value to an ILT? ILT requires as much instructional design as an eLearning does. Even if PPT is the backbone of your presentation, an ID can do a lot. Make sure the course is real.

Who am I? What is my online persona? Do I present myself as the same in every situation? What do I change about me when I find myself in an unfamiliar context? How do I act differently when I'm in a reduced social cue context such as text based communication? These and many other questions are currently being addressed by researchers who are interested in the study of digital identity.

By Shelley A. Gable. We know that some of the most effective training follows a problem-centered approach , engages learners , is abundant with practice and coaching, and simulates the work environment as closely as possible. Easier said than done, right? Let's be honest – it's challenging to create training like that (especially with the time constraints most of us work within!). If it were easy, we wouldn't have so much eLearning with the page-turner design. So how do we do better? How about rounding up some colleagues for a brainstorming session? Brainstorming Rule #1: Withhold judgment.

If the ancient Greeks only had Legos!
This is so very cool. The ancient Greeks developed a mechanical computer which they used to predict celestial events. All knowledge of their computing device was lost for over 2,000 years.

So the concept here is pretty simple. I wanted to mount a microphone on a stick with an LED and design a circuit that would react to a large amount of noise on the microphone input (blowing) to turn off the LED.

Rajya Sabha bids farewell to 99 members
New Delhi: After two days of acrimony and
bitter feud over Women`s Reservation Bill in the Rajya Sabha,
members of the House were on Wednesday in a bonhomie mood as they got together to bid farewell to 99 of their colleagues who have
either completed their tenure or are close to doing so.
Among the 99 members, a few had already retired last year
while some others were elected to the Lok Sabha in the last
general elections.
Besides Union Ministers A K Antony and Anand Sharma,
prominent among those who would be retiring this year include
their ministerial colleagues Ambika Soni, Jairam Ramesh, M S
Gill, BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu and SP leader Jaya Bachchan.
Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj,
Union Ministers Farooq Abdullah, Sushilkumar Shinde, Praful
Patel, V Narayanasamy and BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi were
among those who were elected to the 15th Lok Sabha after
being members of the Rajya Sabha.
Speaking at the farewell function, Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh said Rajya Sabha can perform an exemplary role
and bring to bear the quality of experience which is not
always available to the Lok Sabha.
Rajya Sabha Chairman Hamid Ansari described the Upper
House as the lynchpin of the federal structure which is a
remarkable collection of persons with diverse skills and
experience which together can produce a compendium of
invaluable knowledge.
The evening also saw rendition of ghazals by noted singer
Jagjit Singh.

No New Motorway Stretches to Open in Bulgaria by End-Year
Builders have sought BGN 140 M in additional funding and more time to complete the construction of several motorway sections in Bulgaria next year, a government official has said.
According to caretaker Deputy Prime Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva, who is also caretaker Regional Development Minister, no new motorway sections will open in Bulgaria by the end of 2014.
The interim government, appointed earlier this month to prepare snap elections in October, is faced with a higher-than-planned budget deficit and will hardly be able to provide additional funding to the Bulgarian and foreign companies that are building the highways.
Zaharieva's predecessor at the Regional Development Ministry Desislava Terzieva had claimed until the end of her tenure that Maritza motorway and the 15-kilometre stretch of the Struma motorway from Sandanski to Bulgaria's border with Greece will be built by the end of 2014.
The construction of two sections of Maritza motorway, which should have been built by the end of 2013, has been delayed by archaeological excavations along the planned route of the future motorway.
Construction works on Struma motorway have been delayed by slow land appropriation and issuance of building permits and the emergence of utility infrastructure networks not shown on cadastral maps.

A 17-year-old has undergone surgery and is recovering after being shot while hunting on a Southland farm in the early hours of yesterday morning.
Detective Dougall Henderson, of the Invercargill CIB, said the youth had been shot and injured by a hunting companion. The victim and associates were spotlighting for deer using a vehicle on a farm near Orepuki, in Western Southland.
He was taken to Southland Hospital, where he underwent surgery, and was said to be recovering and in a stable condition, Henderson said.
Investigators from Invercargill's criminal investigation unit carried out a scene examination at the site of the shooting yesterday, and the members of the hunting group were assisting police with their inquiries, Henderson said.
The shooting comes after two fatal hunting incidents in the south this year.
In March, a man died after being shot in the back of the head while out hunting with two friends in the Maungawera Valley, near Wanaka.
The following month, a 26-year-old man was killed after being shot by an associate while on a hunting trip near Cattle Flat.
Monday's incident was a timely reminder for hunters to ensure they followed the seven basic rules of firearms safety, Henderson said.
Those going hunting needed to treat every firearm as loaded, always point firearms in a safe direction, load a firearm only when ready to fire, identify your target beyond all doubt, check your firing zone, store firearms and ammunition safely, and avoid alcohol or drugs when handling firearms, he said.

Invasion of dwarf bamboo into alpine snow-meadows in northern Japan: pattern of expansion and impact on species diversity
Gaku Kudo, Faculty of Environmental Earth Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-0810, Japan. Tel: +81-11-706 2269; Fax: +81-11-706 4954; E-mail: email@example.com.
Recently, a dwarf bamboo species, Sasa kurilensis; Poaceae, has invaded into alpine snow-meadows in the wilderness area of the Taisetsu Mountains, northern Japan. This dwarf bamboo species has a wide distribution range from lowland to alpine sites of snowy regions. Because of the formation of dense evergreen culms and an extensive rhizome system, other plants are excluded following invasion by this dwarf bamboo, resulting in low species diversity. Dwarf bamboo originally inhabited the leeward slopes of alpine dwarf pine (Pinus pumila) clumps in alpine regions. During the last 32 years, however, dwarf bamboo has expanded its distribution area by up to 47% toward snow-meadows, especially on southeastern facing slopes. This rapid change may be related to the decrease in soil moisture and expansion of the annual growing period caused by the recent acceleration of snowmelt time. A multiyear census revealed that the density of bamboo culms increased 30–150% during 2 years, and the annual expansion of bamboo rhizomes was 39 cm on average. In addition to the expansion of bamboo clumps by vegetative growth, the possibility of migration by seed dispersal was also suggested by a genet analysis. With the increase in culm density, the species richness of snow-meadow vegetation decreased to less than one-quarter of the original level due to intense shading by dwarf bamboo. The rapid vegetation change in these almost pristine alpine environments isolated from the human activity implies that global climate change already influences the alpine ecosystem.

Salmon, Cream Cheese & Dill Soufflé
From EatingWell: May/June 2012
Reduced-fat cream cheese gives this salmon and dill soufflé recipe plenty of rich flavor while keeping the calories and saturated fat in check. Serve it with a big salad for a light supper.
Makes: 8 servings

Low calorie | Low carbohydrate | Low saturated fat | Low sodium | Heart healthy | Diabetes appropriate |View Our Nutrition Guidelines »
- 3 tablespoons fine, dry breadcrumbs
- 1 1/2 cups low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/4 cup white whole-wheat flour (see Tips) or all-purpose flour
- 4 large egg yolks, at room temperature (see Tips)
- 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel), softened
- 4 ounces smoked salmon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 2 teaspoons dried
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 8 large egg whites, at room temperature (see Tips)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 375°F. Coat eight 10-ounce ramekins or a 2 1/2-quart soufflé dish (or similar-size baking dish) with cooking spray. Sprinkle with enough breadcrumbs to generously coat the inside, tilting to evenly distribute; tap out excess. Place ramekins on a baking sheet.
- Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming. Melt butter and oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and cook, whisking, for 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the hot milk and cook over medium-low heat, whisking, until the mixture is the consistency of thick batter, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Whisk in egg yolks, one at a time, until incorporated. Whisk in cream cheese until melted, then stir in salmon, dill and pepper.
- Clean and dry a large mixing bowl and beaters, making sure there are no traces of oil. (Any fat in your egg whites may prevent your soufflé from rising properly.) Beat egg whites in the bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy. Add salt; gradually increase speed to high and beat until shiny and stiff, but not dry. Do not overbeat: stop when the egg whites hold their shape in the bowl and on the beater but don't look overly dry or lumpy.
- Using a rubber spatula, stir one-third of the whites into the egg-yolk mixture to lighten it. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites just until evenly distributed. It's OK if a few white streaks remain. Spoon the batter into the prepared dish(es).
- Bake until puffed and firm to the touch, 20 to 24 minutes for 10-ounce soufflés, 38 to 42 minutes for a 2 1/2-quart soufflé. (Resist the temptation to take a peek until the last 5 minutes of baking—an open oven door will let in too much cool air and may interrupt the rising.) Once out of the oven, even a beautifully puffed soufflé will slowly deflate, so go directly to the table to show off its beauty, then serve it at once.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 2, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature before folding in egg whites. Equipment: Eight 10-ounce ramekins or a 2 1/2-quart soufflé dish
- Tips: White whole-wheat flour, made from a special variety of white wheat, is light in color and flavor but has the same nutritional properties as regular whole-wheat flour. It is available at large supermarkets and natural-foods stores and online at bobsredmill.com or kingarthurflour.com. Store it in the freezer.
- Room-temperature egg whites will gain more volume when beaten and help your soufflé rise. To bring eggs to room temperature before separating the yolks from the whites, set the eggs out on the counter for 15 minutes or submerge (in the shell) in a bowl of lukewarm (not hot) water for 5 minutes.
- For the fluffiest soufflé, the egg whites must be completely free of any traces of yolk. Separate the eggs one at a time before adding the white to the mixing bowl; if there are any specks of yolk in the white, throw away the white, clean the bowl with soap and water and start over.
- Cut Down on Dishes: A rimmed baking sheet is great for everything from roasting to catching accidental drips and spills. For effortless cleanup and to keep your baking sheets in tip-top shape, line them with a layer of foil before each use.

There was just another explosion less than 20 miles from a restaurant 'El Rodeo".
[link to www.youtube.com]
A witness who works at the Wal-Mart next door to the restaurant told RTV6 she heard an explosion before the restaurant went up in flames.
Another witness working nearby had a similar story.
"I heard a big boom from the kitchen over at White Castle," said witness John Short.
Investigators said the initial impression is that the fire started in the kitchen, and the explosion that witnesses heard was a transformer behind the restaurant blowing up.
No injuries have been reported, but the restaurant was open for business at the time of the fire.

I had already posted that to this thread and no one seems interested. I posted the link to the video report. The thing I found interesting about it was the interview with the fire fighter. He said when they got there that the roof was on fire then it caved in and involved the rest of the building. At first I was thinking grease or grill fire, but those don't start the roof burning first.
