The possibilities of experimental meteorobiologic research are well illustrated by Preuner's1 report of the effect of weather conditions on experimental asthma in guinea pigs. The earlier methods of producing anaphylactic shock in guinea pigs produced allergic syndromes and sequelae rarely encountered in human medicine. Most immunologists were skeptical therefore of the clinical applicability of conclusions drawn from animal experimentation. Alexander2 and others demonstrated, however, that a symptom complex identical with that of human asthma can be produced in this animal species by allowing highly sensitized guinea pigs to breath "vaporized antigens," i. e. invisible sprays of foreign proteins. Apparatus for the administration of such antigenic "vapors" were subsequently perfected by European investigators.3 Guinea pigs previously sensitized by a single intraperitoneal injection with 0.1 cc. of egg white, for example, were allowed to breath a fine egg albumin "vapor," the apparatus being adjusted so

This report assesses intelligence analysis across the main U.S. intelligence agencies and makes a number of recommendations, some of which parallel initiatives that have begun in the wake of the December 2004 legislation, for instance, create a Deputy Director of National Intelligence as a focal point for analysis, establish a National Intelligence University, build a Long Term Analysis Unit at the National Intelligence Council, and form an Open Source Center for making more creative use of open-source materials.

While there is no proven correlation between the quality of one's educational institution and the quality of one's professional competence, it is often an indicator. Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.

Diabetes is a medical condition you should take seriously. Here is how it works...when you eat, the food is broken down into a sugar called glucose. Glucose travels in the blood to your cells and is used for energy. The pancreas produces a hormone called insulin that helps glucose move into your cells. If you are a diabetic, the glucose builds up in your blood and it can not get into your cells. Your body does not make enough insulin or your cells do not use insulin correctly.
In order to help diagnosis diabetes, your healthcare provider may have you fast (or go without food) for at least eight hours and then take a sample of your blood. This test is called fasting plasma glucose and is used most often to diagnose diabetes. Normal fasting plasma glucose results are 99 mg/dl or below. Pre-diabetes is 100-125 mg/dl. Diabetes is above 126 mg/dl. A second test on a different day is needed to confirm the diagnosis of diabetes.
Life style changes can help control diabetes. Following a healthy diet and paying attention to portion sizes can help decrease the amount of glucose in your blood. Exercise will help burn glucose quickly and improve the way the body uses insulin. Medicine may be needed to control diabetes. Your treatment plan may require all of these for good blood glucose control.
You should monitor your blood glucose levels at home. Keeping track of your blood glucose levels lets you know how your treatment plan is working. People with diabetes need regular check-ups with their provider. You should have your feet checked, your eyes examined, your blood pressure checked, along with lab work. Getting Started

Adopt a Mascot!
This Black Panther Mascot Costume will get your crowd cheering at the next game. Our awesome mascots are covered with comfortable, soft faux fur, and are perfect for Halloween. Shindigz is your place to find the fiercest and most affordable mascot costumes. Plus, our mascots come in one convenient size that is designed to fit individuals ranging from 5 2" to 6 2" in height.
For color change options please call Customer Service for details at 1-800-314-8794.
After wearing the mascot, wipe any moisture from inside the head with a clean cloth. You may also spray a mild cleaner (ex. Simple Green, 409, Febreeze) to the inside of the head if you have soiled areas around the neck or chin areas. Then lightly powder the inside of the head with talcum powder, to prevent any moisture from damaging your mascot -- just remember not to wet or clog the Built in Fan.
Hanging the mascot body out to dry after wearing is the best way to keep the body ready for your next wearing. Mascot bodies are machine washable in a gentle cycle. We do NOT recommend Dry Cleaning. Wash as you would delicate clothes. Line dry; never put any parts of your costume in a dryer. Brush as needed.
Wash mascot feet by hand and line dry.
Mascot heads with "flesh" like skin can be cleaned by simply wiping with a damp cloth should the "face" get dirty. Remember the faces are painted with flexible paint but care should be taken not to rub or scratch the surface too hard. Any fur covered area on the head could also be cleaned with a mild rug or upholstery cleaner.

Q:We recently purchased this costume and it has been a great hit at our pep rallies and ballgames. BUT,after the second ballgame, the fan in the head was broken ( a wire came loose) and the costume itself is very sinky. Even though we have washed it per the instructions and have tried to air it out, it has a terrible ordor. The paint on the face and teeth has also started to come off. This costume has not had harsh treatment and we have followed the directions. This is quite an investment the SCA of Northwood HIgh School has made. Any suggestions on fixing the problems???

A:Please contact our customer service department for a copy of the washing instructions or any issues you may be having.

Less Than Kind
Michael Coveney • West End, Off-West End • 24 Jan 2011
"A little more than kin and less than kind," is Hamlet's first utterance in sour-faced response to Claudius's conciliatory overture. Rattigan's spoilt brat, Michael Brown, takes a dim view of his mother's dalliance with cabinet minister and captain of industry (with War-time responsibility for tanks) Sir John Fletcher.
Both adults are separated from their respective spouses, and Michael, played with an appropriate and ghastly priggishness by David Osmond, is soon embroiled with one of them himself: Caroline Head's voluptuous, soignée Lady Fletcher.
Michael Darlow's programme note charts the fascinating history of a play that was first conceived as a vehicle for Gertrude Lawrence, hi-jacked as a starry vehicle by the Lunts in America, re-written and later excluded from the collected plays.
It sounds, anyway, as though Brown has synthesised Less Than Kind with its better known later version, Love in Idleness: Michael Simkins as Sir John certainly gives as good as he gets, emotionally and argumentatively, from Sara Crowe's Olivia Brown.
There's a typically Rattigan-esque exchange of the Westminster social life for dowdy bedsit land in Baron's Court. Although Ms Crowe plays the transformation very well, she doesn't really do the hardship, or the pain. This is partly in the writing, too, however; the play feels like an uneasy hybrid of finger-wagging moral parable and not all that funny domestic comedy. It's certainly not vintage Rattigan.
But it's a good collector's item, and heralds a year when I suspect that all the critical breast-beating over Rattigan (no-one, not even Tynan, ever dismissed his best plays, as is commonly claimed) may appear to be hollow. There is simply no comparison in quality between The Deep Blue Sea and The Browning Version on the one hand, and Cause Célèbre and In Praise of Love on the other... or is there? We shall soon see.

Extra Tables Needed: During A Party
- Bring a small side table from another part of the house into the area where everyone will be gathering. You can dress it up with books and flowers or leave it bare for added space.
- We love these teeny glass accent tables. Small enough to leave the space feel open but large enough to fit a handful of drinks or a plate of food.
- Stools are great because they are short enough to slide under a larger table when not in use but can be pulled out at a moments notice. They're also great if you need extra seating during your party.
- We've always liked the compact nature of a fold-up side table or butler's tray table. Like the stool, you can stash these small tables away when you're not using them.
- If you have an ottoman that isn't stable enough for drinks to land, add a sturdy tray to create a makeshift table.

Temple Spree Leaves 7 Dead
Suspect Is Killed, Several Others Are Wounded in Act Called Domestic Terrorism
OAK CREEK, Wis.—A mass shooting at a Sikh temple south of Milwaukee left seven people dead Sunday, including the suspected gunman, in what police called an act of domestic terrorism. Three others were injured, including a police officer.
Police said the shooting began at about 10:30 a.m., as the congregation of the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin prepared for services. Chief John Edwards of the Oak Creek police said the suspect shot an officer multiple times before another officer shot and killed the suspect.
The injured officer was at a Milwaukee hospital, and Mr. Edwards said he was expected to recover. Names or ages of the victims weren't released.
Federal officials described the alleged shooter as a white male in his 40s, but didn't provide other details, according to the Associated Press.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a statement that it is working with local authorities to determine a motive for the shooting, adding that the investigation is in its early stages. A federal law-enforcement official said the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was tracing a firearm that was recovered at the temple site. The type of firearm couldn't be learned.
The low-slung, one-story temple, which sits across from a bowling alley, was blocked off on Sunday afternoon, so family members and media gathered in a nearby parking lot cordoned off with yellow police tape.
Manjit Singh, a 30-year-old who attends the temple occasionally, said that on a typical Sunday about 200 people are at the service. He said Sunday mornings are usually spent in prayer, then end with a lunch at about 1 or 2 p.m.
"If it had been later in the day, it could have been a lot more people," he said.
Lee Biblo, chief medical officer at Froedtert hospital in Milwaukee, said his hospital was treating three victims, all adult males, including the police officer. All were in critical condition: One was shot in the chest and abdomen; a second was shot in the neck; and a third was shot in the face and extremities. Two had undergone surgery as of late afternoon, he said.
The attack came a little more than two weeks after the movie-theater shooting in Aurora, Colo., that left 12 dead.
The White House said Sunday afternoon that President Barack Obama had been briefed on the latest shooting by FBI Director Robert Mueller and other officials. Both the president and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney released statements, with Mr. Romney calling the shooting "a senseless act of violence and a tragedy that should never befall any house of worship."
Sikhism is a monotheistic religion founded in India in the 1400s, with estimates of the U.S. Sikh population ranging from 250,000 to more than 500,000.
Sunday's shooting unnerved many Sikhs and triggered discussion of whether their temples need to implement security measures, said Balwant Singh Hansra, past president of the Sikh Religious Society of Chicago. Because some Sikhs wear turbans they sometimes are confused with Muslims, he said, and some Sikhs were targeted for violence or harassment in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
The shootings shocked many in this middle-class town of 35,000. Tom Thuecks, director of disaster services for the local branch of the Salvation Army, said he hadn't witnessed tension between different communities.
"This community is a wonderful area, where people are concerned about others," he said. "All faiths, all denominations work together."

The Answer to Height Phobia. Fast, Effective and Guaranteed
If you're like most people who live with this fear, you probably wonder if you can ever be rid of it. After 10 years working with people with the most severe phobias, we know that – for anyone who is determined – height phobia can always be overcome.
If you are ready to put this behind you once and for all, here's what we offer at CTRN:
- Height phobia better or gone in as little as a day
- Utter discretion
- Clients in over 70 countries around the world
How to Get Started
There are two programs we offer to help you overcome height phobia fast. Our programs are designed to help you do it yourself with the Home Study program or get board-certified help with our one-on-one program:
Home-Study Program: Vanquish Fear & Anxiety
Boxed CD's and Workbook are $147. Save $10 by just Downloading
• Get Underway Instantly & Download Now
• Work Through the Program on Your Time
One-on-One 'VIP' Program
Custom Program Developed for you by Your Expert Practitioner
• Private Sessions with Board-Certified Specialist
• Sophisticated Suite of Techniques to Remove Underlying Fear
How This System Works
Bottom line? Your subconscious mind needs to be re-trained. Consciously, you know your height phobia doesn't make logical sense. If it did everyone would have it. Yet the fear perseveres only because your subconscious has 'linked' the thought of heights to a bunch of strong negative feelings – which get brought up automatically every time.
Until now, you just haven't had the techniques for re-programming those connections. We're here to teach the techniques to you. Isn't it time you took control?
- A Board-Certified Practitioner is ready to speak with you. Contact Us Now Contact Us Now >
What You Need to Know About Treatments and Cures
We're going to leave the terms 'treating' and 'curing' to the medical profession. Modifying your awareness is a technique you have to learn to master for yourself. We're going to walk you through the process that helps you re-program that tricky subconscious thinking.
This system is going to help you overcome anger, sadness, fear and other negative feelings and help you replace those feelings with more positive ones. You have dealt with these emotions haunting you long enough. Are you ready to interrupt the cycle of destructive thinking?
The Triggers and Factors that Cause Your Fear
An really disturbing incident from the past, is often (though, not always) the root cause of Height Phobia. The fear can be manufactured by the brain, in some circumstances, with seemingly no foundation. The key is digging down to the source and replacing negative associations with more positive emotions. Those at greatest risk include:
• Those with a tendency to feel anxious and panicky
• People characterized as skittish, energetic, easily upset, nervous
• Someone who deals with adrenal insufficiency
Do you feel as if even one of these represents you? See what others like you are saying about working with us.
Or you can <see what the media> is saying.
Tests, Symptoms & Diagnosis
Use our 2 minute Height Phobia Online Analysis to discover the magnitude of the problem for you, but it is pretty simple. Do something about it now, if the fear is having a sizable negative influence on your way of living.
- Do you become sick at the simple thought of Heights?
- Does it trigger a dry mouth and clammy hands?
- Does your heart feel like it's going to pound right out of your chest?
- Do you feel as though you are unable to stand?
Those were only a handful of examples of the feelings you might suffer. Read more on the symptoms of height phobia.
Not only do we deal with the symptoms, we locate the foundation. It's what we're all about
Pills and Medication
We strongly believe that drugs are not a good solution for any Acrophobe, but you should always follow your physician's advice with regard to drugs/meds and Height Phobia. Drugs may produce a short-term improvement by masking symptoms, but they never tackle the core problem of the overwhelming automatic fear response to heights.
By the way – no one has ever developed a drug exclusively for Height Phobia – and with so many potential side effects, who wants to risk taking medication as a solution?
The good news is with CTRN you will overcome Height Phobia, without prescription pills..

Rescue Exposes Free Range, Organic Hens Worse Off than Caged
Tucked down a country road is a farm raising "pasture-based" hens for egg production. Peering into the field, it's hard to see the pasture. I see acres of dirt and a sea of red hens. Presumably it is green when there isn't a four-year drought. Chickens dart in front of our vehicles as we pull into the driveway. Continue reading

Venus of the Hardsell
|"Venus of the Hardsell"
|Single by Spiderlegs
|February 11, 2010
|CD, digital download
|Post-punk, indie rock
|Jamie Delano, Vertigo Comics
"Venus of the Hardsell" is a song first seen in Hellblazer. The song was written by Jamie Delano and has since been recorded as a song by the musical group Spiderlegs. The song is notable for being fictionally part of the Hellblazer stories, and was said to be written by John Constantine and his band Mucous Membrane.
The lyrics and video for the song were printed in Hellblazer Annual 1, written by Jamie Delano with art by Dean Motter. In the story, the song was the only single that Mucous Membrane, John Constantine's punk band, ever released. It was written by John Constantine and Gary Lester and released in 1978, by "Snot Music" record label.
It has gained a cult following, and many fan-made recordings were made. In 2006, fans of Hellblazer (including the music group Spiderlegs)[1] created a rough version of the song. It is unmixed and unmastered, and the vocals were never properly recorded; nevertheless, it can be found.[2] The song took another recording with a better quality and was released soon after. Spiderlegs sang the song with a fake accent. Spiderlegs said, "The goal was to try to make something so bad it was good."
Music style[edit]
Jamie Delano wrote the lyrics. The setting of the story which the song is written[3] is in the 1970-80. And so the lyrics is based much on history formed in that era, such as the Cold War and the Vietnam War. President Nixon and the Apollo missions were also referenced. But as this being a DC imprint, many of its elements are incorporated, such as a reference of Superman in the song. The lyrics itself contains elements of anarchy, pessimism, and violence by war.[4]
Music video[edit]
A video was created to accompany the music and was released on YouTube. The video is composed of layers from Hellblazer Annual 1, with panels from the story including the supposed to be composer John Constantine and the Mucous Membrane, and their concert in The Casanova Club in Newcastle upon Tyne.
The song gained a cult following in the comics community.[5] Upon hearing the song, Jamie Delano remarked, "Thanks for the MP3. I enjoyed the rendition. Very authentic late 'seventies atmosphere. Almost made me nostalgic."[6][7]

Christmas Sets Record for iOS and Android Activations
More tablets and smartphones were activated on Christmas than ever before, according to data from analytics firm Flurry.
Device activations increased from a daily December average of 4 million to 17.4 million on Christmas day, representing an increase of 332 percent. It's also more than double the 6.8 million devices activated on Christmas last year, which was the previous single-day record holder.
More tablets were activated on Christmas this year than handsets, with the iPad accounting for a considerable proportion of the category. The Kindle Fire HD 7-inch tablet, meanwhile, experienced its strongest showing ever.
App downloads also increased by more than double their daily December average on Christmas. On December 25, device owners downloaded 20 million apps per hour, Flurry said.
"Over the next week, up through New Year's Day, app download rates will remain significantly elevated. Flurry anticipates downloads to surpass more than 1.5 billion, and have a shot at breaking through the 2-billion download barrier for the first time ever. We look forward to accelerated growth in 2013, and continued success for developers."
halcyonGood stuff. Now with all this new attention if the App Store and Google Play can police the quality of the apps available and remove all the danger-fart-type apps. Maybe put low-selling apps on probation and if they don't pick up sales in a reasonable amount of time remove them (where the developer can resubmit after a certain amount of time).
I'd like to see Google Play get some of the App Store's higher-quality offerings too.
Haven't seen hard numbers yet but the anecdotal evidence doesn't look good:
Not sent from my iPad
AnonymousStill would rather like a Surface, although the price is a bit high - I'm actually waiting to see if the Surface Pro can supplement or replace my current laptop.
Also, we don't even have Windows Phone 8 numbers at this time. Considering core similarities, I'm a bit unsure whether it's possible to break WP8 numbers from W8 numbers.
I used a Nexus 7 for a while. Indeed it's a nice kit but to say it releaves itself on all versions of the iPad is stretching it quite a bit. The Retina display simply looks far far far better. ...and I'd be surprised if it's any faster than an iPad 3 or 4. The iPad 3 or 4 and Nexus 7 are all premium. An Asus Transformer Infinity? Very nice...if you get one w/out pixel defects.
dalethepcmanSurface RT sucks, when the Pro gets released is when it will actually have some descent sales. If anyone was going to buy an ARM device, they should get an ipad, or a nexus, or a transformer tablet, not a surface RT.
Out of all those 17.4m activations, I would have liked to have seen how many were Android vs IOS. I guess Flurry didn't want to see Apple stock take any more of a beating that it already has.
