This volume represents the proceedings of a colloquium held by the Medical Society of London in September 1979. The participants were immunologists and experts in infectious diseases, primarily from the United Kingdom but also from the United States, Kenya, and Sweden. The subjects discussed included prenatal and perinatal infections, placental protection of the fetus, maturation of immunity, mucosal-surface immunity, complement, lysozyme, lactoferrin, gastrointestinal (GI) tract immunity, immunologic components of breast milk, and prophylactic immunization of mother and newborn. The basic factual information presented in each chapter is followed by a transcript of the round table discussion that occurred after the presentation. The individual chapters vary in quality, but of particular strength are those dealing with the immunologic functions of breast milk and the role of the GI tract in preventing systemic infections. These chapters discuss cell-mediated immunity, secretory IgA, other immunoglobulins, and lactoferrin, as well as the bactericidal roles of

When I first read that Yahoo's new CEO was Marissa Mayer, I started dancing the feminist fandango.
She's Yahoo's first female CEO!
I swept out my arms.
Article Photos
She's a 37-year-old Fortune 500 CEO!
I fluttered my fingers.
She's pregnant, too!
Feet, don't fail me now.
I flapped the hem of my linen dress with 2 percent spandex and shouted to our dog, "Franklin! Feminist fandango!"
Cross your right foot over your left foot; slam down on the ball of your right foot; pick yourself up off the floor; step back and to the right with your left foot. Apologize for smacking the dog's ear as you step down on the ball of your right foot again, and raise your left foot high, and - oops! - forget what comes next and miss the tabletop by 1.2 inches as you tumble back to the floor, where your puppy smothers you with kisses.
What a glorious day for joyful feminists across the land.
Then I heard what Marissa Mayer had to say about her milestone moment:
"I don't think that I would consider myself a feminist. ... I certainly believe in equal rights. I believe that women are just as capable, if not more so, in a lot of different dimensions. But I don't ... have sort of the militant drive and ... the chip on the shoulder that sometimes comes with that. And I think it's too bad, but I do think 'feminism' has become, in many ways, a more negative word. ... There are amazing opportunities all over the world for women, and I think that there's more good that comes out of positive energy around that than negative energy."
Wait. What?
What successful young woman in 2012 would say such a thing?
Marissa Mayer, that's who. I saw it with my own eyes in an online clip of her interview with "Makers," a series by PBS and AOL.
This was no right-wing blogger's Photoshop hatchet job. This was PBS.
It has to be true. True that she said it, I mean.
As a joyful feminist - and there are so many of us - I offer this short tutorial on behalf of my people.
Over the years, you could find many things on the shoulders of feminists of a certain age. Baby spittle, for example, and spaghetti straps. Suntans and boiled wool. Pads that made us look like linebackers in stilettos. Long hair so luscious it lengthened the guilty prayers of churchmen sitting in the pews behind us.
Our shoulders have swayed under the clasped hands of friends trying to keep their balance as we howled with laughter. They've sagged under heads of those same friends broken by grief. We long lost count of all the times we threw back our shoulders in defiance of someone else's low expectations. Made them wish they'd kept their opinions to themselves we did.
In the past few days, I've examined the shoulders of countless feminists - there are so many of us, even here in the Midwest - and I can't find a single chip. Unless you count my friend Paula, who recalls an unfortunate toddler meltdown in 1974, when her 2-year-old son repeatedly smashed a bag of Fritos against her chest after she told him she would not buy them. In that instance, she let the chips fall as they may.
If you think I'm being silly, well, I sure hope so. It's how we cope in a crazy world where the gender wage gap is still huge and American women are back to fighting for the right to affordable birth control. If you can't laugh while you battle for what's right, you're going to blow an artery. The face of virtually every feminist I know is a road map of smile lines and grin gullies. They smile and their eyes become starbursts. Years of practice, friends.
Marissa Mayer can call herself whatever she likes. We feminists are big on that. If she wants to distance herself from the suffragists who fought for her right to vote, heck, that's her choice, too. You can see her point. Those ladies may have changed the country, but they were pretty darn humorless when prison guards force-fed them until they vomited. Eighty-one women, and not one of them could find a punch line? Please.
Mayer apparently wants to distance her professional ambition from the earlier feminists' "militant drive" that made her career possible. God bless her ungrateful heart. As I always told my kids, you let people cut into traffic because it's the right thing to do, not because you want a wave of "thanks."
Listening to Mayer, you'd think feminists like me are all beasts of burden plodding through life wearing epaulets and Dr. Martens. On this, I must correct her.
Every women's libber knows you've got to kick off your shoes to dance the feminist fandango.

Name Popularity
If you want to see how popular your first or last name was in the 1990 Census, there is a free website by the U.S. Census Bureau that does just that. http://www.census.gov/genealogy/names/ will allow you to search your first and last name to find out how popular it ranked in 1990.
For example, Katie ranked 193 in the 1990 Census. It is a fairly common first name. And my maiden name, Lund, ranked 1354 for surnames. My married name wasn't even in the census though. Since my first name is so common, it's kind of fun to have an uncommon last name.

Sheriff's deputies want party-goers to celebrate responsibly and use a designated driver or other safe alternative accommodations. A designated driver is an individual within a group of people drinking alcoholic beverages at an event/establishment who remains sober to drive the others home afterward.
"We can't stress enough the importance of celebrating New Year's Eve without endangering yourself, loved ones or others in the community," said La Berge.
Santa Clarita Safe Rides provides free, safe and confidential rides home to teenagers who are not in a condition to drive or want to avoid being a passenger with a dangerous driver. Call (661) 259-6330 on New Year's Eve or any Friday or Saturday night.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department does not condone underage drinking, but does recognize the value of the safe rides program.

Skip to comments.What's this? Obama longs for GOP rival like McCain
Posted on 06/02/2012 6:50:03 AM PDT by Innovative
President Barack Obama seems to think that the world of politics would be better if someone like John McCain were running for the White House.
It's all a way of drawing a contrast with Obama's current GOP rival, Mitt Romney, and trying to convince crucial independent voters that the former Massachusetts governor is outside the mainstream.
But Obama's flattering memories of McCain conflict with their campaign clashes of 2008. Back then, Obama hammered his rival as "out of touch" with many of the problems facing people in the United States.
Today's platitudes also conceal the reality of Obama's current dynamic with McCain. The senator is one of the president's staunchest critics on everything from health care to foreign policy, and he's a vocal Romney supporter.
Obama's take on McCain has become a standard part of his fundraising appeal to donors. As the general election heats up, the Obama campaign is relishing more opportunities to try to turn its former foe into an asset.
When Romney didn't condemn his supporter Donald Trump for raising more questions this week about the president's citizenship, the Obama campaign dug up old video clips of McCain correcting supporters in the 2008 who said they were scared of Obama and one clip of a supporter who thought he was an "Arab."
"As the Republican nominee, John McCain stood up to the voices of extremism in his party," an Obama Internet video says. It then asks why Romney won't do the same.
(Excerpt) Read more at google.com ...
Romney won't make the same mistake and that has Obama running scared.
Obama is becoming pathetic.
Of course Obama thinks Romney is out of the mainstream. As much as I don't like him, Romney's not a dyed in the wool socialist. Thats what Obama considers mainstream. If Romney is smart he will pick that up and hammer Obama with it.
Obama doesn't know HOW to fight for anything. He is and has been an affirmative action case all his life....Handed good grades, Good Jobs, State and Federal offices because of his skin colour. He expects the Republican nominee to just "be There" and roll over dead so Obama can win once again.
Of course Zero and the RATS would love to see McCain types running every 4 years. It's like having 2 democrats running at the same time.
In my view, yours is a very accurate and pragmatic assessment. I entirely agree.
If you look at Baraq's election wins, they were all over extremely flawed opponents.
He's like a guy who got to be heavyweight champ but never fought a guy with a winning record.
I'm convinced the Chicago mob had incriminating evidence on the Clintons (Arkancides) and they were intimidated from outing Baraq's fake history.
Obama is going to have to punch above his weight this time around.
This falls under the Department of this,http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=back%20obama%20%2Cokey%20doke&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CF0QtwIwAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dgh69Zi2rV-U&ei=DhvKT4zWJ4i16gGkiJkG&usg=AFQjCNGIeUdlXZ3iEAMYX7cqPNwx50G9qw
The most important thing Obama likes about McCain is that McCain LOST to Obama, because McCain refused to fight tooth-and-nail.
Like the Kenyan bastard, Panama Juan was never eligible to run for president or VP.
Panama Juan must have realized he had been sniffed out/unmasked (with solid proof); and therefore, he stopped fighting.
Romney already is running a far better campaign than McLame.
Romney wants to win and it shows.
The Republicans can expect the same thing on steroids this year--in fact it has been going on for several months, but so far all their lines of attack have failed.
Romney WILL win. He knows how to fight ... consider how he eliminated his GOP Rivals. Look how fast his team took on "Anne Romney has never worked a day in her life", or how his team brought up the fact that Obama was raised eating dogs. He will take it to Axelrod in the streets and hire just as many hecklers as Obama will. And, when Romney wins, he will reach out to those Evangelical Christians who have tried to undermine his campaign. I look forward to great days ahead!
Zero wishes he could just be declared President for life...or perhaps Emperor.
"Obama is becoming pathetic."
I voted for Ron Paul in the primary - but for me its A B O.
and you know what - mittens so far is showing he will fight obama everywhere all the time.
His solyndra move this week proved to me that he is the anti-McCain and will go down fighting till the end.
I actually supported Michele Bachman until she tanked and then pinned my hopes on Herb Cain but I so enjoy Romney moves like the Solyndra Show or the paid "tit for tat" hecklers. I look forward to Romney's trip to a Travel Agency to take on Michelle's Million Dollar vacations. We are in for exciting times.
While Romeny is picking up that HAMMER he can use it drive Obama's socialist Sickle right thru his vampire heart! I hope Romeny puts his foot on Obama's neck and never lets him up. Romeny can define the election by keeping on the Record Obama has compiled and slinging the same cow-dung Obama does but before he has defend more of the same.
He needs to go to Keystone site and do the same thing, then the gulf for drilling, then boieng, then gibson guitars, etc. ,
My sense is that McCain has never run a competitive race in his life, apart from going up against Bush in 2000 in the primaries and Obama in 2008. As a GOP senatorial candidate, his war hero record won his primary races, and as long as the electorate was majority Republican, he was a lock. Romney - on the other hand - has run only competitive races. His races in MA have been really difficult, given that he does represent the GOP, whereas the electorate is overwhelmingly liberal. He went up against McCain in 2008 with a liberal/moderate record established by his races in MA, as contrasted against McCains war hero record. Its a miracle he was the runner-up. Im still surprised that he won the GOP nomination this time around, given the amount of flak that came his way. Hes not my candidate of choice, but hes certainly someone who doesnt shrink from a challenge, whether in the business or political world.
GlockThe Vote (The Obama Adminstration: 2nd wave of attacks on America after 9/11)
Your signature line is highly accurate!
People need to realize it and NOT allow Obama to get a second term to complete his planned destruction of the USA.
Except that the Obama fund raising has been seriously under performing this year. Doesn't look like Obama will get the $1 billion he wanted.
Did anyone notice that Romney gave a speech at Solyndra yesterday and the only network that mentioned it was Fox News?
"...Obama is becoming pathetic...."
We all know liberalism, or whatever name you want to call it, is a chronic deteriorating mental disease. However in zippy's case, I think what we're seeing is him slipping off into complete insanity. I think he's losing it totally and his handlers are beside themselves with what to do with him. I would not be surprised in the least to see zippy with a total mental breakdown before the election and the DNC run Hitlery in his place.
Doesnt matter - it went viral on the web, facebook, etc.
Network news is meaningless lately.
Mittens is doing all the right things to get the right excited to oust obama.
His attack team at Axelrods presser - same thing.
Obama and Axe are SCARED TO DEATH of an agressive Romney.
Romney has the apperance of a mature business person while Obama looks like an angry petulant baby.
I agree. In addition, Romney and his wife don't hate America. They don't hang out with terrorists, communists, and other radicals. They believe in free enterprise. They are not anti-business. Romney actually understands that you can't build an economy by increasing the public sector at the expense of the private sector. Whereas Obama envisions a weakened America among the nations of the world as a positive objective, Romney does not agree. I could go on and on comparing Romney, though imperfect, to Obama.
Comparing Romney to McCain, one thing I absolutely hated and still hate about McCain is that he takes delight in shafting his own party. He is attention wh%re who loves siding with the Democrats as much as possible so that he can be in the news and have the MSM say nice things about him. He just loves to be called a "maverick". So, of course if Obama had his choice in the matter he would rather be fighting against McCain rather than Romney!
Myth has a couple real positive aspects that McCain did not...that being very few skeletons in the closet...no Senate record to exploit
If the worse the dems can do is a dog on his roof and he beat up a kid 50 years ago....
His record as Governor in a very liberal state is specious at best for a conservative, but a vast majority of the mussy middle could care less....which translates into votes...
What I've noticed, here in NY and in wandering around TV Channel sites on the web is that local newsies are giving the Reps and Romney far more objective coverage than the Nets. Romney's visit to Solyndra and his tit for tat in Boston may not have made it on to the Nets but the locals covered them. Here in NYC I've seen quite objective coverage on the locals and i mean the Net affilliates, and not just Fox5. Romney knows this and he knows more folks watch their local news than watch the Big 3. His team knows what they're about. And as I said on a HotAir thread four days before Hugh Hewitt blogged it, Romney's inside Obama's OODA loop. McCain started there and punked out, but Romney or his team must have experienced the presentation because they've got Boyd's ideas down and solid.
They want to shame Romney into not talking about O'' past. The clip they used with McCain is a woman concerned about his terrorists ties
very asinine concept ---why can't you campaign like the last guy who lost..whaa
I live in the Bronx - and believe it or not i see few or any obama stickers. Sure there are a few since there are so many blacks, but NOTHING like 2008.
Hmm, let me take a guess. It might be because McCain lost. This has to be one of the dumbest Internet videos I have ever seen. The whole video is begging Romney to model has campaign after a loser. I have no idea who they think that video will reach.
Wonder how those idiots that responded to the video are feeling today? Guess it would depend if they're Kool-aid drinkers or people that were easily fooled.
Obama's correct about this. He doesn't know how to handle a candidate that won't cave in and endorse him for Preezy. Of course, it could very well still happen after the Convention.
GOPe candidates have a bad habit of falling down at the finish line.
John Jackson: "It's time someone had the courage to stand up and say: I'm against those things that everybody hates."
Jack Johnson: "Now, I respect my opponent. I think he's a good man. But quite frankly, I agree with everything he just said."
John Jackson: "I say your three cent titanium tax goes too far."
Jack Johnson: "And I say your three cent titanium tax doesn't go too far enough."
A Free per pointed out yesterday that McCain never experienced an all-out political campaign against real opponent. AZ voters and many Republicans in the 2008 primary was awed by his war hero status, but there's not much beyond that.
I just need to post because this strikes me as so crazy and bizarre. When have we had a sitting president wish to run against a former opponent?
What is wrong with this guy? Does he want the GOP to just throw Mitt over and bring in McCain to suit him?

The addition will allow for an alternative fixture that is easier to use while maintaining result integrity. Sections of the test method need to be corrected or updated for consistency with other test methods. The calculation for Poissons ratio needs to be corrected. The report section should be revised so that it is consistent with the other composite test methods. The section regarding percent bending should also include the information from section 12.4.1 of ASTM D6641/D6641M.

AUBURN HILLS -- Rodney Stuckey, he of the 1-of-11 shooting night, was asked for a moment of his time after the Detroit Pistons' 108-96 loss Tuesday to the Charlotte Bobcats. And that's exactly what he offered.
"We lost," Stuckey said, quickly moving past the media contingent. "Have a good evening."
The Bobcats had all kinds of answers, most of which went directly to what the Pistons said their problem was -- effort.
At least the Pistons hope it's limited to effort, because after two losses to the Bobcats in as many meetings this season, the alternative is to admit Charlotte is better.
Before Charlotte went on All-Star break, players discussed the need to stay physically engaged to help protect their tenuous half-game hold on eighth spot in the Eastern Conference.
"Our guys, they talked about it before they left, everybody needed to do something," Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said. "Whatever they all did, they were ready to go. It was obviously a factor tonight."
Al Jefferson didn't want to do anything more than ride an exercise bike during the break.
Teammate Jannero Pargo convinced him otherwise.
"He said, 'You need to get in the gym. That could be the difference between 20 points and 30 points,'" Jefferson said. "So I got in the gym on Saturday and Sunday and (got) 32."
The Bobcats started 7 of 7 from the field and jumped to an 11-point lead after the first quarter, which they maintained the rest of the way.
That led the Pistons to criticize their own preparation, since saying you're outworked is preferable to admitting you're outskilled.
"To come out and give a team however many they made in a row to start the game, confidence, energy, puts you in a hole," Pistons interim coach John Loyer said.
He called the first quarter "very disappointing" as the Pistons fell 1 1/2 games behind the Bobcats in pursuit of last playoff spot in the East, with the season series finale scheduled tonight at Charlotte.
"We set out to try to win every game, especially a game against somebody that we're fighting with in the playoffs," Loyer said. "I just thought our energy level, our concentration would have been better. I mean, there's no reason to think it wasn't going to be. We've had two good practices. We just didn't start out with the mindset that we need to have."
Clifford, predictably, felt quite different.
"I liked our readiness to start the game, really which ended up being the difference," he said.
The Pistons got double-doubles from all of their big-three front line, including a career-high-tying 22 rebounds from Andre Drummond. They also got 24 points and seven assists from Brandon Jennings.
But their bench production was nearly nonexistent except for Will Bynum (nine points, six assists), the Bobcats shot 58.3 percent in the first half, and then there was Jefferson's 32 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists.
"He's a matchup nightmare," Bynum said of Jefferson. "We know it takes a total team effort to stop a guy like that. We have to look ourselves in the mirror and make sure we're giving the best effort we can give individually."
"He's a bad matchup for the league," Loyer said of Jefferson.
The Pistons used a 3-2 zone to some benefit in the second half but the team accustomed to second-half collapses did it early this time.
"They just had good tempo," Singler said. "They started out the game with great rhythm. Our energy level probably wasn't where it should have been but they still executed, they still played good to start the game."
The Bobcats (24-30), by virtue of clinching the season series against the Pistons (22-31), have forced Detroit to make up 2 1/2 games before the end of the season. A Pistons loss tonight would increase that burden to 3 1/2 games.
With the Pistons' playoff chances perhaps hanging in the balance, and the 3 p.m. Thursday trade deadline looming, they know the ominous situation they face tonight.
"We have to have it," Bynum said. "We have to have energy. We have to play with passion. These are critical games for us. Every game is a playoff game. We can't give up games like this or we'll find ourselves on the outside looking in if we continue to do this."

X1 Green PCB
Here is the Green PCB version. Note the smaller crystal oscillator and in a different location. The miss marked (flipped) rear motor connections, I think this may also be the case with the Red version pcb.
When I tested this unit in a very small room (big enough to hover) it felt like it was less stable (hard to hold a stable hover) and more control (like a rate higher than the stock Tx dual rate), BUT, this needs to be checked outside and unfortunately, this X1 has a broken motor mount, so I will test when I can fit it. More than likely it has different firmware then the Red pcb version. The back of the Green pcb had no writing on it, my Red pcb has V5.
Overview of the Green pcb;
Top left IC is the receiver, top middle IC is the gyro, center is the cpu, bottom left two are dual n-fet transistors (2 to 6A rating, to many companies make these with different specs) driving the 4 motors, bottom right large resistor is the current sense resistor, very bottom center looks like the programming pads, also they are on the back for pogo pin connection.
I may replace the 2 large electrolitic 100uF caps to ceramic to lower the overall thickness because I have bottom mounted my board. the Green version has a low profile oscillator, I like that better for my situation.
I mentioned in a previous post, it would be easy to replace the fets (IRFZ44 are 44amps and cost ~50 cents each) and drive much larger brushed motors at higher voltages, I might go down that path one day.
Is there a good reason to use the large 100uF cap vs. the small SMD ones? Is there a difference in performance? Seems to add weight and profile to the PCB. It has already so many SMD components on the PCB. The 2 large caps and the resistor looks so out of place.
When you bottom mount the PCB, is the top side still on top, or did you just flip the whole frame upside down? I don't even know what the gyro would do? I suppose if it is upside down, and initialized that way, it will retain the consistency???? I'm confused.

The resistor is large because of the it has the largest current flowing though it, upwards of 4 amps (avg ~2 amps).
Good question on the upside down gyro, I wanted to protect the surface mount parts from impact and the bottom does not have any parts, so no need to flip it.
The bottom of the Green pcb has no writing on it.
Compact 6dBi Collinear Antenna
We might want to try this antenna, it's cheap to make. I would forget about the connectors. Just a short piece of coax to the bottom of the antenna. It is a little long, and you don't want to point this at your X1, keep it paralle.

a helical might be easier to make though very wideband in design but focused (you would want to point a helical at the quad)
Post your 2.4GHz antenna on helical antennas please.
BTW, this antenna works great for your wifi router. Be warned, the gain of these antenna gains distance, BUT, be warned, this antenna is more directional, keep the antenna 90 degrees (not pointed at the X1), see my previous post about antenna radiation and gain.

Hey Guys,
As mentioned earlier, please find the pictures from the inside of my remote attached.
To me this looks very different than the one from Jack Crossfire:
The problem is still there, the yaw trim is completely ineffective.
I don't think the problem is unique, because we tried many different quad and remote combination in the shop and it was always the same.
Except with the WLtoys remote, with that one it was working flawless.
Any advice? Idea? DIY?
Thanks and have a nice day! D
If you had a 9x Rx, and bound to it, with a servo you could verify if the Tx was sending out trim steps. just trying to narrow down where the issue is coming from (Tx or Rx side).
Maybe something is mechanically wrong with your X1 (like a bad motor, twisted out of alignment boom, etc), and the trim cant overcome this issue.
Dszegedi, Another thing you could try is change the mode of the Tx from Mode 2 to Mode 4 (but the manual calls these Mode 1 and Mode 2). By changing it, the rudder and aileron controls should switch. If this is a programming issue, the problem wouldn't get fixed. However, if this is a mechanical, switch, button type issue, the problem should not be switched between rudder and aileron. So, I'm hoping that this test would tell us more.

When you adjust the trim you see the bar going left or right, but even if you are the extremes it will not change anything.
I don't think it's an issue with my quad because the rate of turn is less than 180deg/min (it's not really annoying but should be possible to eliminate by trimming) and when we coupled it with a WL tx it was ok. I have no access to 9X (yet)
With the shop owner we tested in total 4 new X1's out of the box with different remotes and was all the same. It's like none of the TXs would put a signal out for yaw trim, but the WL.
I will try mode 4, it's a good idea! I will let you know later today!
Thanks for your comments guys!

I have just tried mode 4 and it's the same. Doesn't work. All the other trims are perfect, but the yaw trim has no influence on the quad.
I will have to live with it, I guess, till I get a 9x. If somebody else experiences the same issue, please let me know, perhaps we can sort something out...
Thanks for the help and advices!
Have a great day and happy flying!
So, here's what I think. These BMI's are rebrands of SYMA. The problems are not with one sample but consistent with 5 samples from the same store. So, we could pretty much conclude that the same problem exists on the whole stock of these BMI's. The problem is local to the Tx, because the same quad works with other known compatible Txs. The problem is with the programming of these Tx, because Mode 2/4 doesn't make a difference, the LCD display is functioning, the rudder trim signal is not being broadcast.
My conclusion is that this is an incorrectly programmed batch of Tx that BMI got, perhaps for cheap from Syma. What it really boils down to is: You got a 3 ch, rather than 4 ch setup - unless you replace the Tx.
My suggestion: With the store owner acknowledging the problem, it really is not your problem. Get a refund, let the store deal with BMI. Take the money and go buy yourself a real Syma X1.

I did not have glue handy, so I used some tape on the frame/arm and also used a string as a cross brace connecting the opposite arms to each other (tied to landing gear). It is working great so far! The loose arm has not pulled out at all after 4 flights, and the cross bracing is keeping a zip-tied motor/gear housing vertical on another arm after it was bent!
I am satisfied with the repair, but I'm still looking for an upgrade! I'm flying well enough that the range is an issue for me. I can't really go all out because I have this short ceiling to worry about.

If the season ended today...
For the 10 college basketball teams listed ahead, those five words are like heat rising from the desert—a mirage dancing, flickering, hovering within reach.
It's March. They're in position to make the NCAA tournament. A couple more wins, and the ticket is all but punched. One loss, and it all comes undone.
Those stakes in mind, let's examine what lies ahead for these 10 as they wind their way toward Selection Sunday.


text: Originally, the second Tara Markov believed that she was from an alternate future, ruled by the tyrant Lord Chaos, where she joined the freedom fighting Team Titans as Terra II. The Team Titans went back in time to oppose Lord Chaos before he rose to power. When the so-called "Zero Hour" erased all alternate futures from existence, most of Terra's teammates were erased as well. But Terra prevailed, which must mean that she was originally from this world and time. Confused about what and who she was, she joined the New Titans for a short time. Later, she joined Geo-Force, brother of the original Terra, to protect the nation of Markovia. Recently, she took a DNA test that said that she was somehow identical with the original Terra. But Geo-Force, who didn't want to rob her of her own life, lied about the results, leaving Tara free to be herself.

This report documents the safe operation of photovoltaic (PV) systems without a utility external disconnect switch (UEDS) in several large jurisdictions. It explains the rationale for eliminating UEDS.
Some states and utilities require installation of UEDS between PV power systems and the utility grid as a device to ensure line worker safety. However, eight states and many major utility companies have recognized that safety devices and features already part of all code-compliant PV systems make the UEDS redundant and have eliminated its requirement.

Letter in the Aug. 15 Tomahawk Leader
To the Editor:
My concerns related to the housing section of the CP (Comprehensive Plan) went unreported by the Tomahawk Leader's representative. Seeing that $3,000 of Tomahawk taxpayers' money has already been paid by the CP Committee to a professional writer gives me cause for concern.
In my presentation I had pointed out with page numbers three possible economic and quality of life issues:
p. 49 (1.) Subsidized Housing (Lincoln County provides about 30 percent more units per capita than Marathon County).
p. 48 The Working Poor. One needs at least to earn $10.44 to be able to pay for the basics. (I suggested that local companies and government conduct job training.)
p. 50 Rezoning to house the elderly and low income young adults in basements and garages. (Here, a question of quality of life and the potential for financial and esthetic abuse by landlords.)
This CP is not due until 2010. Why the rush to pass it? I was told that another city close to Tomahawk has not even begun to write yet. Isn't that a financially wise approach keeping the changing economy in mind?

To the Editor When discussing results of mammography screening trials, Dr Marmot1 concluded that "Meta-analysis of these trials with 13 years of follow-up estimated a 20% reduction in breast cancer mortality among women invited for screening." This meta-analysis2 was based on 11 randomized controlled trials, most of them undertaken before the era of modern adjuvant systemic therapy for breast cancer.

Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger is making so much progress that general manager Paul Holmgren expects him to be ready for the Oct. 6 opener in Boston.
Speaking for the first time since he broke his shoulder and ribs in a bicycle accident Sept. 5, Holmgren said Pronger was "on track" to start the season with the team.
"Physically, Chris is feeling better than even he thought he would," Holmgren said after the rookies went through the second day of prospect camp at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. "He's pushed the envelope a little bit the last few days, going on the ice and shooting the puck. I asked him the other day how far behind he is in terms of what he would have done in a normal year. He said, 'I probably would have skated a couple weeks ago.' So I think he's right on track for all he's been through."

Brief Summary
Official Title: "Pulmonary Involvement in Scleroderma: Safety and Efficacy of Mycophenolate Mofetil in Scleroderma Patients"
Researchers from the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) are conducting a study to evaluate whether mycophenolate mofetil (an immunosuppressive medication, trade named CellCept) is safe and effective for preventing the lung damage from scleroderma from getting worse.
- Study Type: Interventional
- Study Design: Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
- Study Primary Completion Date: January 2009
Detailed Clinical Trial Description
The proposed study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mycophenolate mofetil (CellCept) for the treatment of symptomatic pulmonary alveolitis due to systemic sclerosis (SSc). This study utilizes a prospective, open-label, experimental design.
Primary Hypothesis: The alveolitis in patients with SSc, as defined by decreased forced vital capacity (FVC), bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and High Resolution Chest Tomography (HRCT) is responsive to 1 year of daily mycophenolate mofetil therapy.
Secondary Hypothesis: Quality of life, six-minute walk and single-breath diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) improve in patients with SSc mediated alveolitis after therapy with mycophenolate mofetil. This response to therapy is associated with a change in the inflammatory cytokine profile present in BAL fluid.
Interventions Used in this Clinical Trial
- Drug: Mycophenolate mofetil
Arms, Groups and Cohorts in this Clinical Trial
- Experimental: Treatment
- Mycophenolate Mofetil
Outcome Measures for this Clinical Trial
Primary Measures
- Mean Change From Baseline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)
- Time Frame: Baseline, 12 months
Safety Issue?: No
- Time Frame: Baseline, 12 months
Secondary Measures
- Mean Change in Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) Components (Neutrophils, Eosinophils)
- Time Frame: Baseline, 12 months
Safety Issue?: No
- Time Frame: Baseline, 12 months
- Change in Shortness of Breath (Self-reported)
- Time Frame: Baseline, 12 months
Safety Issue?: No
- Time Frame: Baseline, 12 months
- Mean Change in Six Minute Walk Distance
- Time Frame: 12 months
Safety Issue?: No
- Time Frame: 12 months
- Mean Change in Diffusion Capacity of the Lung for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO)
- Time Frame: 12 months
Safety Issue?: No
- Time Frame: 12 months
Criteria for Participation in this Clinical Trial
Inclusion Criteria
- To participate in this study, patients must first undergo a BAL and HRCT. To be eligible to undergo HRCT and BAL (under the purview of this trial), prospective patients must meet the following criteria:
- Aged 21-70.
- Negative pregnancy test (with a sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL) for females of child-bearing potential
- All patients must fulfill the criteria for SSc by American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria (Subcommittee for Scleroderma Criteria 1980).
- FVC < 85% of predicted.
- SSc for no more than 7 years with onset defined as the date of the first non-Raynaud manifestation.
- Patients may have limited (cutaneous thickening distal but not proximal to elbows and knees, with or without facial involvement) or diffuse (cutaneous thickening proximal to elbows and knees, often involving the chest or abdomen) cutaneous SSc (Medsger 1995).
- Abnormal DLCO and abnormalities on the plain chest radiograph are not required, although a normal DLCO would be unusual in the face of significant ventilatory restriction due to SSc lung disease.
- To be eligible to take study medication, the patient must meet not only the criteria above, but also must have ≥ 3.0% neutrophils or ≥ 2.0% eosinophils in screening BAL fluid and/or ground glass opacification on HRCT.
- Women of childbearing potential should have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL within 1 week before beginning therapy. CellCept therapy will not be initiated until a report of a negative pregnancy test has been obtained.
- Effective contraception must be used before beginning CellCept therapy, during therapy, and for 6 weeks following discontinuation of therapy, even where there has been a history of infertility, unless due to hysterectomy. Two reliable forms of contraception must be used simultaneously unless abstinence is the chosen method. If pregnancy does occur during treatment, the physician and patient should discuss the desirability of continuing the pregnancy.
Exclusion Criteria
- FVC < 45% of predicted or DLCO (corrected for hemoglobin [Hgb] but not for alveolar volume) < 35% of predicted (suggestive of severe, probably irreparable, disease).
- Leukopenia (white blood cell count < 4000) or thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 100,000).
- Serum creatinine ≥ 2.0 mg/dl.
- Pregnancy, breast feeding, unreliability, drug abuse, or chronic debilitating disease.
- Uncontrolled congestive heart failure.
- Active infection of the lung, or elsewhere, whose management would be compromised by mycophenolate mofetil.
- Prior treatment for alveolitis with mycophenolate mofetil or prior or current treatment for alveolitis with: D-penicillamine, methotrexate, colchicine, Potaba, or azathioprine.
- Other serious concomitant medical illness (e.g., cancer).

For a problem that has no doubt been around as long as humans have been falling on hard objects and bashing one another's skulls with clubs, brain injuries are still surprisingly mysterious.
Scientists, including a cadre at the University of Pennsylvania, are lifting the veil, though, and what they're seeing is already "dramatically" changing American sports, said Douglas Smith, who heads Penn's Center for Brain Injury and Repair.
Everyone from parents to pro athletes to military leaders is suddenly paying more attention to "mild" brain injuries, or concussions, and their long-term consequences.
Brain injury, Smith said, is the "signature wound" of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. That, coupled with a Philadelphia-based lawsuit by professional football players, who say the explosive hits they took on the job put them at risk for brain damage and dementia, has heightened interest in the damaged brain.

Housing and development director Walter Denson recommended hiring two full-time employees, including a real estate manager to oversee about 20 properties the city owns and often fails to maintain.
"Years ago, the city decided to abandon that position," Denson said at an afternoon council meeting today. "The same amount of work remained, but nobody designated anyone for those specific responsibilities."
The real estate manager would also oversee regular auctions of city-owned property, which Denson said would help provide cash for the employee's salary.
"This was a functioning division when it was abandoned," Denson said. "Given the skeleton crew that's there now, I think it's imperative. They can generate enough revenue to pay for their salaries and then some."
Councilman Zachary Chester was wary of the idea, instead suggesting that the same strategy be applied to the inspections department.
"How is it that we can look to hire two positions here, but we can't do that for inspections," Chester said. "They generate income as well, and we need more inspectors."
Councilwoman Marge Caldwell-Wilson said the city shouldn't "be in the landlord business," and Denson agreed.
"With a real estate manager, you can make the decision to not renew leases and sell vacant buildings," Denson said. "We don't want to be landlords."
Chester suggested the city look at hiring an outside firm to do the work, which Denson estimated would be more than quadruple the cost of doing it in-house.
Council members later gasped when Denson requested $20,000 to fund professional services and legal fees for the planning board. That amount was $12,000 more than was provided in the 2012-13 budget.
Denson explained that the board's expenses had been running in the $20,000 range for the past several years but that the money had been drawn from several different accounts.
Redevelopment coordinator Marc Leckington said funds from the city's Community Development Block Grants had been used over two years to fund professional services, which he said was inappropriate.
"With some of the changes in leadership at the director's seat, the previous interim administrator may not have been looking very carefully at sign-offs," Leckington said.
"This is distressing, to know that this has happened," Caldwell-Wilson said in response.
The council also heard from city clerk Leona Baylor, who warned that a series of irregular elections would likely lead to a huge increase in her office's budget.
Mercer County usually bills the city about $17,000 to fund workers and equipment for primary and general elections, Baylor said.
But this year's special U.S. Senate primary election in August and general election in October have added two more events to an already-busy election year.
"We've heard there is going to be reimbursement. There just hasn't been a mechanism for how or when," Baylor said. "But even if they reimburse us, we have to spend the money first."
"The governor wanted to have a special election and the state should pay for that for the entire state, not put a burden on the municipalities," Chester said.
And in May 2014, the city will also hold its municipal elections, in which Mayor Tony Mack and all seven council members are up for re-election. Baylor advocated for moving the city's municipal elections to another date because of the costs, which Caldwell-Wilson called a "conversation for another day."

I have recently discovered that my WIRED xbox 360 controller is not working, every time i plug it in to my 360 it blinks twice. once as player 1 and 4, then all 4 lights. after it has finished flashing the controller will NOT work and just acts if it has no power.i tried plugging my WIRED controller into my pc with windows 7 ( i have used it countless times) and what i get is a message saying that the usb device has malfunctioned.i am however able to play with my wireless controller for now. but i dont enjoy using it.could someone PLEASE help me? WIRED CONTROLLER.i have seen countless threads which people say to sync it. but its WIRED, WIRED, WIRED.NO BATTERIES. MICROSOFT MADE. BLACK. Thank you,Baracoda
Have you tried plugging the controller into a different USB port on your console? If it works in a different usb port, then the one port that you originally tried is bad. However, from the information provided, it seems likely your controller itself has malfunctioned. If you just recently bought it, you could try to return it to the store. If it's in the warranty period, you can go to XBox's online service center and request a repair here: myservice.xbox.com. If the controller is not under warranty, the advisable thing to do would be to buy a new one.
Source; forums.xbox.com/.../153184.aspx
thanks for the response gunpowder. but unfortunately every usb i plug the controller into still wont work.
i accidently pulled the warranty sticker off the back of my controller so i can not return it :(
This might be of help to you or at least worth a try: support.xbox.com/.../connecting-game-controllers
Baracodathanks for the response gunpowder. but unfortunately every usb i plug the controller into still wont work
Time for a new one.
I have the same problem but I can get mine to keep flashing. It may be because my sister's boyfriend took it apart and put it back together again but I don't know.
As both the Xbox 360 and PC are unable to use the controller it sounds like something has worked itself free inside the controller. If that is the case, a new 360 wired controller would be needed.
If possible, borrow one from a friend first and make sure your Xbox 360 can connect with it before you do just so you are certain a new controller will solve your problem.
Inside Gamer - http://www.insidegamer.net
How old is your controller? If you have had it for a long time and use it frequently it may have gone into disrepair from wear-and-tear. You may need a new controller. (My Play and charge battery pack died recently)
Im having same trouble but vice versa not working on my PC i tried all 3 USB ports what do i do
My wired 360 controller did the same thing and after several hours of inspecting and tampering it ended up being the end of the controller wire that plugs into the break a way extension, so I cut it off and wired (color matched) an old USB end on and voila, like new. Hope this helps someone.
me too but i cant help cause im trying the same thing

Episode 17: Oh Vatler. I think he's slowly becoming my favorite character in the series. Well, he did allow the Prison Barrier to be activated, but at least he's responsible enough to dispose of the mess he made. But man, that tragic diva was close to being familiar chow in the hands of Vatler—she's probably thankful that the Prison Barrier's system is still working or else she'd be in a whole lot of pain, at least.
And now, he's luring the flies to his nest for his own banquet. That's nice of him.
Episode 18: Yuuma escapes, Asagi officially becomes caught in the mess, and four of the inmates have been disposed of. Seeing Asagi left unfamiliar with everything about Kojou is a bit saddening, considering that she has the powers to control and watch over the Demon District, something that had helped Kojou in more than one occasion. Then suddenly, Yukina gets a front-seat pass to Aya Tokoyogi's plans as she becomes a valuable piece to her plans. Was it Sekkarou, Yukina or both that this witch wants?
Episode 19: Yukina gets a Mirai Kuriyama moment (lol seiyuu joke), and that bastard Kojou gets a threesome with Yuuma and Sayaka. Well, at least he got a new vampiric aspect unlocked after summoning his Fourth Familiar. Meanwhile, Aya reveals that she wants to rewrite the world out of scorn to those who mistreated them (I guess throughout history). I don't buy it, but that Five-Minute Hypothesis seems interesting. Anyway, the fight between Kojou and Aya felt anticlimactic, but I guess she just can't fight a vampire, a nullifier and a greater witch even with her powers.
And in all of this, one person remains, the failed Attack Mage, Meiya Itogami.
By the way, who the heck is the Paper Noise girl talking to Yase earlier?
Episode 20: Finally reached the latest episode. And I don't understand why people question Asagi's actions.
Second, the earrings were given to her by Kojou on her birthday. We all know that birthday gifts given by someone, especially a special person, are considered special, and jewelry or anything worn is considered doubly special. She was simply unfortunate to have crossed paths with Kou as he was doing his thing.
Third, she is special. During the From the Warlord's Domain Arc, her eyes turned blood-red as she was analyzing the code derived from the Nalakuvera. There should also be a reason for her exceptional talent in hacking based on this.
My speculation is that she's also given the Hard Core that Kou had destroyed from that guy earlier. That was the pebble-like stone Asagi was reaching to before passing out, and it was dislodged from her body after the attack.
I wonder if next episode would make Kanon a bit more relevant than just a beyond-human being targeted by Kou as a possible sacrifice.

I can understand why Asagi didn't take his warnings seriously.
If Koujo for example revealed to Asagi earlier that he was the fourth progenitor and at a later date told her that an area was dangerous or not to follow him somewhere like to the church in the first place. Asagi would have backed off.
Keep in mind the Asagi believes him to be a normal human and she herself is the premiere hacker on the island.

There's a reason why she refuses to leave that birthday gift behind and it's because Kojou gave it to her.

Um I would like to point out it was less then 2 minutes between Kojou telling her to get away from there and her getting caught up in the fight. Also he never told her the place was actually dangerous. It's not like she knew the place was dangerous before she went there. The only dumb thing was not running the second she saw the blood, but again it would have been too late anyway.

A. The item could have been taken by an animal in the area.
B. It's too small to find.
C. It's cheaper (in time spent wasted in the activity) to buy another pair of earrings.
What we have here is Asagi projecting too much significance on a pair of earrings that Kojou did not place. In fact, he spelled out his views on those earrings. She really needs to take the hint.

why the flying fck cant people just listen when someone says run the fck out of that place????
she was so near to the church yet she did not even hear the sound of an agonising old man, the laughing sound of a maniac. Then even the big kaboom cant make her just fcking run from that place. It is like telling a child stop fcking play with knife yet they keep fcking doing it. So frustrating

Again she went back because no one ever told her the area was dangerous at that time the last time before this ep that she was there was looking for Kojou who was helping to feed some cats. She wasn't obsessively looking for the earing . She had just got there when she called. The call lasted for maybe 5 minutes durring which she still wasn't let in as to how dangerous it was and was heading back to the path to leave when the Wiseman s blood atacked by that point it was to late.

So we're in the final arc of Strike the Blood, at least for this season, and while I doubt that anything will really get conclusively resolved plotwise, I hope, at least, that the there are some advances for the shows overall plot and romance(s), though I have little doubt that the current arc will be as entertaining as what's come before .
Well, that was pretty forward of Kanon to ask Kojou to come into the lingerie store. I guess you shouldn't underestimate the innocent ones .
Though with how she and Kensei are factoring into the plot, I wonder if this will bring La Folia back into the fray?
It was quite interesting meeting Yukina's teacher, if only indirectly, and seeing how she "penalizes" people. I don't quite get how much of a penalty it is, considering it's not actually Sayaka herself but a shikigami. Though I guess Sayaka would rather not have people constantly seeing her in a maid outfit when they visit that area, and likely keep the image in their minds for when they next see her. Still, maid Sayaka .
I thought there were some really hilarious moments in this episode, from Natsuki's lines to Kojou and Asagi, to Kojou misreading where Yukina was taking him. Especially the former though .
I'm willing to cut Asagi a little slack for what happened at the end of the episode. She had no idea about the level of threat that was around her, and Kojou didn't really explain it either, and without a reason to fear for her life she freely prioritized something that, while replaceable, holds a lot of sentimental value to her. By the time Kojou told her to get out of there, it was just too late .
I'm less shocked in Asagi "dying" and more interested to see how exactly she's ultimately going to survive this. I can see her somehow gaining Wiseman's Blood and becoming immortal. And if that were to happen, I can definitely see her finally learning Kojou's secret and getting the chance to unlock a Familiar .
So it looks like Yukina is, despite the threat of Amakusa, still going on her class trip. I'm as surprised to see them in their winter uniforms as I am to see Yukina and Nagisa apparently sharing a Pocky .

The first short film in the series, 'Off Book: Light Painting', is available online starting today. View here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-ow6VXYr50
In, 'Off Book: Light Painting', viewers are introduced to light painters Aurora Crowley and Patrick Rochon who talk about their affinity for this new medium, their technique, their influences, and what drives them to pursue these new visual forms.
This piece and the corresponding series will shed light (ok, pun intended) on innovative artmaking that has remained a well-kept secret within parts of the art community. For many viewers, this will be their first exposure to these new art forms and a window into new worlds of creativity.
