Dexamenus (/dɛkˈsæmᵻnəs/; Greek Δεξάμενος) was a name attributed to at least three characters in Greek mythology.
- Dexamenus, son of Oeceus, king of Olenus. The Centaur Eurytion forced him to betroth his daughter, Mnesimache, to him. Heracles rescued the girl, killing Eurytion when he showed up to claim his bride. In another version of the tale, the girl was instead Deianira, Heracles' future wife (elsewhere said to be a daughter of Oeneus or Dionysus and Althaea). Heracles violated her and promised her father that he would marry her. After his departure, Eurytion appeared, demanding Deianira as his bride. Her father, afraid, gave in, but Heracles reappeared just in time and slew the Centaur. In yet another variant, the daughter's name is Hippolyte and Eurytion threatens violence to her at her wedding feast (she having married Azan); Heracles, who is also attending the feast, kills him. Dexamenus' other children include Eurypylus and the twins Theronice and Theraephone.[1][2][3]
- Dexamenus, son of Heracles and father of Ambrax, king of Ambracia (a city in Epirus).[4]
- Dexamenus, son of Mesolus and Ambracia, the daughter of Phorbas. After him a part of the region Ambracia was called Dexamenae.[5]

Haunted by Haiti
By Dr. Seema Tiku, pediatrician
Ever since I got back, every little thing reminds me of my time in Haiti. From the smoothly paved roads I drive down, to the garbage chute I can easily rid my waste in, to the air-conditioned stores that I comfortably enter. But one thing that haunts me more than anything else since I've arrived back to the States is the site of a healthy infant. This poses a significant problem since I'm a practicing pediatrician.
There was a patient in particular that I cared for at L'Hopital Adventiste that turned me. His name was Kenny; he was three days old and born eight weeks early. But according to the hospital he was born at in Port-au-Prince, he was no better than an infant born nine months too early. He wasn't considered a viable patient at 28 weeks to the birth hospital, so his parents asked his aunt to take him by whatever means possible to us because maybe we would consider caring for him. Without medical care, Kenny would hardly survive another day.
That was my first day in Haiti. I was panic-stricken. In front of me was a 1.6-pound baby wrapped in a white towel on an exam table, while his adolescent aunt sat nervously in a chair across the room. The panic was rooted in two facts: One was that Kenny was actually a very viable patient with a high chance of survival, and second was that his viability was based on my ability to care for him at a highly equipped and staffed hospital, which he did not have access to.
And so it began. I spent most of that week calling colleagues in the states and trying to be creative with what we supplies we had, trying to supply Kenny with the best care that he needed. There was a lot of guesswork involved because we were unable to test Kenny for any neonatal complications. I tried to make the best choices I could, but I felt blindfolded the whole time I was caring for him. It was enough to make me want to pull my hair out.
Kenny was tough -- with what little we were doing for him, with what little equipment, volunteers and staff we had, he was alert and breathing comfortable. Every night I would go to bed and my dreams were about him, every morning I would wake up and worry that he didn't make it through the night. And every day that I was there, I would go into to see him in our makeshift NICU and he would give me a wide stare. He wanted to live. It was almost like I could read his mind and he was saying, "Just give me a little help, I can make it."
So, the day that we found out that Project Medishare, a US-based satellite hospital, was able to accept him to their NICU, I literally jumped for joy. We packed him up in a cardboard box with whatever resuscitation equipment we could bring and tried to maneuver the unpaved roads of Port-au-Prince in our ambulance. We were too scared to use the siren thinking it would cause stress in his frail body. We were too scared to use the air-conditioning even though it was July in Haiti, worried that his frail body couldn't withstand it. We held onto that box for dear life for that 60-minute ride, worried that his frail body couldn't withstand all the potholes.
But then we finally arrived at freedom. We brought Kenny into his new home to meet his new caregivers. Even though I was going to miss seeing his wide eyes every morning, I was so happy that he was going to get the care that he deserved, the care that he asked for. The minute I got back into that ambulance was the first deep breath I had in about five days. I would sleep tonight. Sometimes there is a happy ending…
Sometimes there is not…
I learned about a week later, the night before I was to head back to the states that Kenny had passed. For what reason I do not know, nor do I think I care. It is his wide stare that haunts me when I look at the glowing face of a healthy newborn.

Conservation Auctions in Manitoba: A Summary of a Series of Workshops
Currently, the effect of human impact on the environment is becoming increasingly apparent. The encroachment of human activity has inevitably resulted in the loss or impairment of ecological goods and services (EG&S) around the globe as well as in our own backyard. EG&S include features such as wildlife habitat, biodiversity, soil renewal, or nutrient cycling. The loss of such features has become a sobering reality for Manitobans in the face of the utrophication of Lake Winnipeg as a result of practices contributing to nutrient loading into the lake. Since EG&S are very important to Manitobans, efforts are being made to explore different vehicles to encourage their provision. In order to address some of the environmental issues transpiring in Manitoba, there has been discussion on the usefulness of Market Based Instruments (MBIs). In the past, a number of programs focused on the environment in agriculture have been put forward and administered, however these have not been overly successful in incenting producers or providing significant levels of EG&S. This report will provide a summary of a series of workshops developed to bring awareness to stakeholders on an MBI known as a conservation auction (which may also be referred to as reverse auction, procurement auction, or tender).

In the newest Beta Release, I am unable to finish setting up the email settings. The test email sends as expected but the email settings page stays at TESTING SMTP. The page has stayed this way for more than 45 minutes.
I have Incoming email disabled and am only setting up the email on the standard port 25 for SMTP. I also tried setting up the email through the Exchange settings.
I still have 2.0 installed on a separate server and that is working just fine with the same SMTP settings.
Has anyone else seen this before?

I sent you a pm where you can send your log files and I'll see if we can determine why it's sitting on the Testing SMTP.

text: frash.exe 10,815 Report post Posted January 23, 2009 I honestly don't agree. The difference in those numbers doesn't strike me as that significant. Fans always want to blitz more, but blitzing is what left Fitzgerald in one on one coverage. He and Warner ate that for lunch. In the end, I think it was just that Todd Haley knew exactly what to do to exploit Jim Johnson's schemes. The Eagles likely need to hope that tape doesn't get as much play as it's expected to (that, or that other teams don't have the personnel to do what Arizona did). Yea, but by the same coin, there aren't many teams that have receivers like Larry Fitzgerald. Arizona's hitting their stride this season. It likely won't last into the next one, and there's no doubt in my mind Jim Johnson and his disciples will tweak the system a bit to counter the kind of offensive the Cards put on them in the future.

I know there were quite a few threads about this for previous beta builds. Quite a few of you were reporting that the online/offline status was reporting incorrectly for some devices. In most cases this would be a device that you knew for certain was online and pingable, but Spiceworks would report it as offline.
Being that we have switched over to Nmap for the default up/down checking we are trying to ensure this is reliable as possible, so obviously some focused testing is required. Can some of you please give the RC a try and let me know if it is reporting accurate results? It would be especially helpful if some of you who were reporting incorrect statuses before could give us a report of how the RC is handling things.
Of course, be sure you are doing a fresh installation of the RC and not updating from a previous version of the Beta. Also, it's not quite ready for production yet, so be sure it is on a test machine.
I look forward to your feedback!

Browsing through the 6.0 group I've seen reports of more accurate results with the RC. I've also seen improvements in my own testing. Has anyone seen anything that HASN'T been reporting correctly?
Jun 29, 2012 at 11:34 UTC
Interesting to come here and find this is "fixed" in RC1, I came here to report it as a problem as it is telling me my central server is offline...... well we all know that cant be the case if I am looking at it and seeing this as a status :) so I will give the RC a try and report back
Jun 29, 2012 at 12:04 UTC
Thanks for the feedback Todd! Please post back here and let us know if the RC helps with this.
Jul 2, 2012 at 11:28 UTC
Lets try this again, on Friday I responed here but come Monday it wasn't posted here.
Back to Friday what I wrote was, I had just installed RC1 and most people had left for the day. So from what I could tell the few that were still here were being seen as online, and the couple I checked that has left were being reported as offline. They had shutdown there computers. So at that point it looked better, and I would let you know further come Monday after my schedule scans ran.
Jul 7, 2012 at 10:03 UTC
just installed the current RC and it still shows my central server is offline
Jul 7, 2012 at 10:41 UTC
Does your Central Server have multiple network interfaces? Is it possible that DNS is resolving to a different interface than Spiceworks has listed for it under Inventory? Also, do you have the scan range that contains the IP for that device enabled in Settings>Network Scan?
Jul 7, 2012 at 11:10 UTC
it does have multiple nics but only one is enabled Yes the IP is in the ip range

@asker do you know them or something? xD
@Raymond_Reddington yeah XD they're friends ( and yes they allowed me to post this )
@Asker lol i thought these were just two random pics you found on google xD thats why i asked lol
@Raymond_Reddington lol
Both are cute, but I prefer the second one. I like the haircut and style a lot, and I am really not a fan of whatever the first one seems to be doing with her lips. They both have really nice eyes though, and good facial features in general.
Both are cute , but honesty i hate duck lips
both are very pretty/cute but their faces also look very similar. The first one looks a bit weird into the cam so I go with number 2 in this case... and I don't say it just because I know who you are, lol :P
The second one ( my friend ) has an account on gag so she might be familiar, I don't know...
I'm actually neither of these people 😝 They're my friends lol but yeah I understand your opinion XD
Never XD I just did this cuz other they were curious, I'm not gonna make myself an account just yet.
*the others were
Yeah another time XD
I don't really have a preference but neither of them are my type. They aren't bad looking though. They look too similar to have a preference. The lighting in the second pic is also better, I wonder if that skews the votes.
the girl in the second picture if obviously cuter. i could go out with her :3 i couldn't go out with the girl in the first pic.
I don't really like both.
I'd rate them on a similar level.
Girl one.
Girl 2 is.
Face and hair are great.
first girl is extremly sexy :D
Both of you are really pretty =)
Sorry that i am no help x (
I'll go with both
I say the first. It may be the lighting, but you look better with a tan.
you are both ugly lol :P
1 ...
Second one
Is it the same girl? Seems like it could be. Both are pretty. I'd go for #2 cause #1 seems stuck up.
@trumpetplayerforlife is the best looking to me, sorry

Joe Gittleman (born April 6, 1968 in Cambridge, Massachusetts) is a Jewish American musician, best known as the bass guitar player for The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. His proficiency on bass earned him the nickname "the Bass Fiddleman."
Gittleman originally played guitar in the Bosstones, but he switched roles with former Bosstone Nate Albert when he realized he had a better bass than guitar. He has also played bass in Gang Green and sang in and produced records for his band Avoid One Thing. Avoid One Thing is currently on hiatus.
He provided background vocals for the Street Dogs' 2005 album Back to the World as well as the more recent Fading American Dream. In addition, Mr. Gittleman produced The Briggs' new album Back to Higher Ground as well as the Flogging Molly film Whiskey on a Sunday, Big D and the Kids Table's albums Strictly Rude and Fluent In Stroll and Chuck Ragan's CD "Los Feliz". Mr. Gittleman has also written songs for bands such as MxPx ("Heard That Sound") and has seen Avoid One Thing covered by The Bouncing Souls ("Lean on Sheena"). Since 2005, Gittleman has been a full-time staff producer and A+R for the Los-Angeles-based independent label Side One Dummy Records. Gittleman actively posts content on the MySpace site for The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and continues to play in their most recent incarnation.
While in Italy in 1993 with The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Gittleman was stabbed just below the lung by an Albanian bootlegger, documented in the song "The Pirate Ship" on the vinyl release of Question the Answers. Gittleman is currently an instructor at Lyndon State College in Lyndonville, Vermont.

Points To Think About When Purchasing An Adirondack Lakefront For Sale
One of the biggest investments that you can ever make in your life is buying a piece of property. However, you have to be careful with your investment especially if you are buying property that is situated on the waterfront. If this is the situation, you will be better off dealing with a real estate agent as compared to going into it on your own. Here is what you need to know when buying an Adirondack Lakefront for sale.

Loaded up Sweet & Sour Chicken With Brown Rice (Lite-Bleu)
Recipe by 2Bleu
This delicious recipe made up of fresh fruit and lots of vegetables makes 3 huge (or 4 generous) servings yet has less than 400 calories & is a COMPLETE meal (how cool is that?!!). Prep the vegetables ahead of time so your cook time goes fast. Freezes well for left-overs.
Top Review by Sydney Mike
I picked this as one of three chicken recipes to make in a 'cooking class' I held at my place for a handful of other residents in my mobile home park! An interesting & enjoyable but time-consuming event! Anyway the participants had fun & were happy in every way with the chicken dishes we made! Followed your recipe right on down, though we doubled it, & had a 5-star entree! Thanks for sharing your recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

"Much better than expected!"
About: Princess Royal Hospital (Haywards Heath) Princess Royal Hospital (Haywards Heath) Haywards Heath RH16 4EX
Posted by Anon
Anything else?
I was admitted for surgery to the gynaecology ward and stayed in for 2 nights. I was involved in my treatment from the outset and throughout my stay staff were available, as helpful as possible and a delight to meet.
My operation was delayed a couple of hours and I waited in a bed in the waiting room (!) before going down to surgery but was made to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible - this was an example of how stretched the NHS is overall and no fault of this hospital.
I was amazed by the almost continuous cleaning of some part of the ward or other.
This hospital met and in some cases exceeded my expectations.

Varicella (chickenpox) is a highly contagious airborne disease caused by primary infection with the varicella zoster virus (VZV). Following the resolution of chickenpox, the virus can remain dormant in the dorsal sensory and cranial ganglion for decades. Shingles (herpes zoster [HZ]) is a neurocutaneous disease caused by reactivation of latent VZV and may progress to postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), which is characterized by dermatomal pain persisting for more than 120 days after the onset of HZ rash, or "well-established PHN", which persist for more than 180 days. Vaccination with an attenuated form of VZV activates specific T-cell production, thereby avoiding viral reactivation and development of HZ. It has been demonstrated to reduce the occurrence by approximately 50-70%, the duration of pain of HZ, and the frequency of subsequent PHN in individuals aged ≥ 50 years in clinical studies. However, it has not proved efficacious in preventing repeat episodes of HZ and reducing the severity of PHN, nor has its long-term efficacy been demonstrated. The most frequent adverse reactions reported for HZ vaccination were injection site pain and/or swelling and headache. In addition, it should not be administrated to children, pregnant women, and immunocompromised persons or those allergic to neomycin or any component of the vaccine.
Vaccination can prevent a number of viral infections including: those caused by hepatitis B virus, varicella zoster virus (VZV), influenza A and B viruses, yellow fever virus, and poliovirus. However, vaccines have not yet been developed for some viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C virus, herpes simplex virus (HSV), cytomegalovirus, and most hemorrhagic fever viruses (except for yellow fever virus) [1].
VZV causes 2 distinct diseases: chickenpox (varicella) and shingles (herpes zoster [HZ]). The link between these 2 diseases has been known for decades and is attributable to the capacity of VZV to remain latent in human neurons for decades after varicella infection. However, to maintain VZV-latency, sufficient VZV-specific cell mediated immunity (CMI) is necessary [2].
Vaccines for varicella and HZ were licensed in the USA in 1995 and 2006, respectively. Before the introduction of the varicella vaccine, approximately 4 million cases of varicella were reported annually in the USA, but between 1995 and 2000, the incidence of varicella reduced by 76-87% owing to the introduction of vaccination. Additionally, over 1 million cases of HZ are reported in the USA annually, with an estimated lifetime attack rate of 30% [2].
This article reviews the pathogenesis of varicella, HZ, and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), the varicella and HZ vaccines, and as well as known outcomes and future studies related to varicella and HZ vaccinations.
A virus is a submicroscopic (20-300 nanometer in diameter), metabolically inert, infectious agent that replicates only within the cells of living hosts, mainly bacteria, plants, and animals. It is composed of an RNA and DNA core, and a protein coat, and in more complex types, a surrounding envelop as well.
According to the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) in 2012, thus far, there are 7 orders, 96 families, 22 subfamilies, 420 genera, 2,618 species, and over 3,000 types yet unclassified. The order Herpesvirales comprises 3 families: Alloherpesvirdae, Herpesviridae, and Malacoherpesviridae. The family Herpesviridae has at least 3 subfamilies: Alpha-, Beta-, and Gamma-herpesvirinae. The subfamily human Alphaherpesvirinae includes Varicellovirus and Simplexvirus genera. The species, HSV (HSV-1 and HSV-2) and VZV (HSV-3), persist in the sensory neurons for the life of the host and cause latent infection [3,4]. VZV, like adenoviruses and poxviruses, is a member of group I of the 7 groups categorized according to the Baltimore classification, because it is a dsDNA virus that does not use reverse transcriptase [5].
VZV is the smallest of the human herpes viruses and the most genetically stable. The virus exhibits multiple cell tropisms, infecting peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and skin cells before establishing latency in sensory neurons. Such tropisms are essential for primary infection, which manifests itself as chickenpox (varicella), as well as for its subsequent reactivation causing HZ (shingles) (Table 1). The highly cell-associated nature of the virus, coupled with its narrow host range, has resulted in the lack of an animal model that mimics the human disease, thereby greatly hindering the study of VZV pathogenesis. Despite this, extensive studies both in vitro and in small animal models have provided interesting insights into the molecular events that govern VZV-associated diseases. In addition, VZV is the first human herpes virus for which a live attenuated vaccine has been developed (Fig. 1A) [4,6].
Unique amongst the human herpes viruses, VZV is spread by inhalation of aerosolized virus particles. Spread of VZV by inhalation is facilitated by the fact that VZV is biologically stable in the external environment. Following exposure, VZV infects respiratory mucous membranes and spreads to the regional lymph nodes where it undergoes the first phase of replication. This is followed by a cell-associated viraemia during which the virus infects PBMCs. The presence of viral DNA has been detected by polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization methods in PBMCs from immunocompetent patients with varicella both before and 24-72 h after the appearance of rash. The estimated number of VZV-infected PBMCs from these individuals varies depending on the experimental technique, but ranges from 0.001% to 0.01% [4].
VZV is capable of infecting mature and immature dendritic monocytes. Infected immature dendritic cells of the respiratory mucosa transport the virus to the T-cell-rich draining lymph nodes. This results in T-cell infection and subsequent dissemination of the virus to reticuloendothelial cells in the liver, spleen, and other organs. As progeny virions exit from reticuloendothelial cells, a secondary cell-associated viraemic phase is initiated and results in virus spread to the skin. During the resolution of varicella, VZV establishes latency in the trigeminal and dorsal root ganglia where, in most cases, it remains latent throughout the life of its host (Fig. 1B) [4].
The first antibodies, produced after primary VZV infection, identify the viral envelope glycoproteins: gp66 and gp118, and the nucleocapsid protein p155. Antibodies to these immunodominant viral proteins persist for years after varicella resolution; therefore, their presence is an excellent marker of prior VZV infection. Subclinical VZV reinfection is also associated with transient increases in the levels of these same polypeptide-specific antibodies. The immunoglobulin response to HZ appears more rapidly than that of chickenpox or reinfection and is the broadest complement of viral proteins including the distinctive VZV polypeptide p32 [7].
A single attack of varicella usually confers lifelong protection against exogenous reinfection with VZV and subsequent clinical disease. However, it has been long recognized that clinical and subclinical reinfection (manifested by a rise in antibody titer after close contact exposure) can occur, despite the presence of detectable serum VZV antibodies at the time of exposure. This is particularly common in adults who have had varicella but alter have close household contact with active varicella. However, more frequently, clinical reinfection develops in immunocompromised individuals and in cases of occupational exposure. Replication of reinfecting strains and subsequent antigen presentation within local lymphoid tissue is important for boosting cell-mediated immunity responses and consequently, for protecting of latently infected individuals from viral reactivation [8-10].
In approximately 25% of infected individuals, usually during adulthood, VZV reactivation results in herpes zoster (shingles). The reactivated virus multiplies and spreads within the ganglion causing neuronal necrosis and intense inflammation- a process that often results in severe neuralgia. VZV then spreads outwardly down the sensory nerve causing intense neuritis. Finally VZV progeny are released from sensory nerve endings in the skin producing the characteristic clusters of zoster vesicles. Typically, this results in a unilateral vesicular rash within a single cutaneous dermatome in the thoracic region. This is often complicated by pain, known as postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), which persists after the rash has healed (Fig. 1C) [4].
The onset of HZ and PHN can be divided into 3 phases: acute herpetic neuralgia, subacute herpetic neuralgia, and postherpetic neuralgia. The period of acute herpetic neuralgia spans approximately 1 month from the onset of prodromal symptoms, which usually precede the appearance of a rash by 3 to 7 days, until the rash has healed. The rash progresses from vesicles, to pustules that finally crusts, and is resolved with, or without, a patchwork of hypo- or hyperpigmented scarring. Since PHN is defined as dermatomal pain that persists for more than 120 days after the onset of the HZ rash, the period of subacute herpetic neuralgia extends from 1 to 4 months before PHN. In addition, well-established PHN is characterized by pain persisting for more than 180 days after rash onset and is less likely to subside, reflecting its recalcitrant nature (Fig. 1C). Risk factors associated with an increased incidence of HZ include advanced age, disease states, and immunosuppressive therapy (Table 2). Common risk factors for developing PHN are advanced age, severe prodromal pain, acute herpetic neuralgia, and rash (Table 3) [11].
Two live, attenuated VZV-containing vaccines are available in the USA for preventing of varicella. The Oka/Merck strain of live, attenuated VZV vaccine was developed in 1974 by serial passage of wild-type VZV (Oka-P) first through human embryonic fibroblasts, followed by guinea pig embryo fibroblasts, and propagation in human diploid cell cultures to yield the Oka-V strain. The strain has been marketed by Merck (Merck & Co., Inc., Whitehouse Station, New Jersey) under the trade name Varivax® since 1995 for healthy children aged ≥ 12 months [12].
Each sterile, 0.5 ml subcutaneous dose of Varivax® contains a minimum of 1,350 plaque-forming units (PFU, a functional measurement of the number of virus particles) of Oka/Merck VZV after reconstitution and can be stored at room temperature for a maximum of 30 min. Each dose also contains sucrose, hydrolyzed gelatin, sodium chloride, monosodium L-glutamate, sodium phosphate dibasic, potassium phosphate monobasic, and potassium chloride. Additionally, residual components of human lung diploid fibroblast (MRC-5) cells including protein and DNA along with trace quantities of sodium phosphate monobasic, ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), neomycin, and fetal bovine serum are also present in the product; however, it does not contain any preservative (Table 4). A combination measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella vaccine constituting the vaccine-ProQuad® (Merck & Co., Inc., Whitehouse Station, New Jersey) has also been licensed in the USA since 2005 for use among healthy children aged 12 months-12 years.
Immunoassay of VZV immunoglobulin G by enzyme immunosorbent assay is used as a surrogate marker for previous primary infection or successful immunization. Patients who have had natural primary infection do not require vaccination against varicella [12].
The incidence of varicella and varicella-related hospitalization and deaths has been reduced by almost 80% from 1995 to 2000 owing to introduction of varicella vaccination [2]. However, vaccination may increase the incidence of HZ followed by PHN because of risk of VZV reactivation compared to a natural HZ attack rate of 30%. Children who received the varicella vaccination during the first year of life in 1995 would reach the age of 50 years in 2044; thus, it remains to be determined if HZ morbidity costs exceed the savings from reductions in varicella-related disease [13-17] (Fig. 2).
Vaccination with an attenuated form of VZV activates specific T-cell production, thereby avoiding viral reactivation. The HZ vaccine was first introduced in 2006 after "the Shingles Prevention Study (SPS)" found that vaccination reduced morbidity from HZ and PHN by 51.3% and 39%, respectively in adults aged ≥ 60 years [18]. The study showed that the efficacy of HZ vaccination differed by age groups: 64% in subjects aged 60-9 years, 41% in subjects aged 70-9 years, and 18% in individuals aged >80 years. The use of the HZ vaccine reduced the overall burden of HZ illness by 61.1% and that of postherpetic neuralgia by 66.5%.
In 2011, following the Zostavax® efficacy and safety trial (ZEST), the USA Food and Drug Administration approved the vaccine for use in individuals aged ≥ 50 years [19]. Zostavax® (Merck & Co., Inc., Whitehouse Station, New Jersey) has been demonstrated to reduce the occurrence by approximately 70% in individuals aged ≥ 50 years. However, it has not proved efficacious in preventing episodes of HZ and reducing the severity of PHN, nor has its long-term efficacy been demonstrated. Additionally, it is not approved for the treatment of HZ or PHN nor indicated for the prevention of primary varicella infection. The HZ vaccine is administrated subcutaneously as a single 0.65 ml dose in the deltoid region of the upper arm; intravenous or intramuscular delivery is not indicated. It is stored frozen and should be reconstituted immediately upon removal from the freezer. The reconstituted vaccine should be refrozen and must be discarded if not used within 30 min. Each dose contains a minimum of 19,400 PFU of the Oka/Merck strain of VZV, 31.16 mg of sucrose, 15.58 mg of hydrolyzed porcine gelatin, 3.99 mg of sodium chloride, 0.62 mg of monosodium L-glutamate, 0.57 mg of sodium phosphate dibasic, 0.10 mg of potassium phosphate monobasic, 0.10 mg of potassium chloride; residual components of MRC-5 cells including DNA, protein, and trace quantities of neomycin and bovine calf serum, and no preservatives (Table 4).
HZ vaccination is contraindicated in individuals (1) with a history of anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reaction to gelatin, neomycin, or any other component of the vaccine; (2) who are immunosuppressed or immunodeficient, including those with a history of primary or acquired immunodeficiency states, such as, leukemia, lymphoma, other malignant neoplasms affecting the bone marrow or lymphatic system, AIDS or other clinical manifestations of infection with human immunodeficiency viruses, and those on immunosuppressive therapy; and (3) pregnant women and children.
The most frequent adverse reactions reported for the vaccination are injection site pain and/or swelling and headache.
The risk of infection with varicella is the highest between the ages of 1 and 19 years. Varicella vaccination was first introduced in infants aged 12-15 or 18 months in 1995 and has been approved for use in order to reduce the incidence of varicella by up to 80%, based on the incidence of varicella in these individuals, as they reached the age 19 in 2013 [2]. However, varicella vaccination may increase the future incidence of HZ because of the risk of latent VZV reactivation. This issue about the increased risk of HZ in later years should be clarified when these individuals reach the age of 50 years in 2044 and further confirmed in 2074 when they reach the age of 80 years (Fig. 2).
The incidence of HZ increases continuously with age and exhibits a sharp increase after the age of 50 years. Additionally, the incidence of PHN after HZ is directly related to age [20,21]. The HZ vaccine was introduced in 2006 and initially administered to individuals aged ≥ 60 years. However, the vaccine has only been administered for 7 years and its long term efficacy has not been well established. Therefore, revaccination may be needed in the future. HZ vaccination was also administered to individuals aged ≥ 50 years since 2011. As the individuals in the 2 initial age groups reach the 80-year benchmark in 2026 and 2041, more information regarding this issue will be collected in those years (Fig. 2).
Herpes Zoster (shingles) is a neurocutaneous disease caused by the reactivation of VZV. An approved vaccine is effective in preventing HZ and subsequent PHN with minimal adverse effects, as determined by short-term studies [22]. In contrast, varicella vaccination may increase the incidence of HZ and subsequent PHN due to VZV reactivation.

river rocks necklace
When I was a kid, I loved hiking through creek beds at summer camp. I was always on the lookout for crawdads or smooth, shiny stones that never seemed as shiny and pretty once they dried in my pocket. Luckily, this necklace won't fade to grey like a dry river rock!
Three imperfect circles made of a matte silver, gold, and shiny silver, are hammered and added to a sterling or gold filled chain (pendant measures about 3/4" in diameter). Each necklace is unique, just like rocks pulled from a river bed.

When You Give To CUESA, Who Benefits? Family Farmers
We are sometimes asked by our supporters where their funds go and who benefits when they donate to CUESA. In this season of giving, we've decided to answer this important question by profiling four recipients of your donations and CUESA's work. In the first installment of this four-part series, we share the story of a family that has been able to grow their farm, thanks to the generosity of supporters like you.
For 20 years, the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market has helped sustain the livelihoods of more than 100 farmers, food artisans, and restaurateurs. About 25% of our farmers rely on our markets for more than half of their farm revenue. In addition to providing opportunities in a world-class farmers market, CUESA also supports local farms and food businesses by amplifying their story through the CUESA e-letter and by offering scholarships that help them gain new skills and make their businesses more environmentally and economically sustainable.
Greg Massa and Raquel Krach of Massa Organics are one of the more recent success stories at the market. Greg, a fourth-generation farmer, and Raquel have constantly pushed the envelope to make their farm more sustainable, introducing almond orchards, pigs, and ducks to create a more diverse and robust farm ecosystem, while providing healthy food to our community.
When you give to CUESA, you are supporting dedicated farmers like Greg and Raquel and you are helping create a food system that benefits family farmers, our community, and the earth. Greg writes:
Seven years ago, we embarked upon a mission to transform our family's conventional commodity rice farm into something entirely new—a diversified, organic farm that markets grains directly to the consumer. This was no easy task, with many hurdles to overcome. Looking back, it's easy to see how critical CUESA and the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market have been to our success.
The Ferry Plaza Farmers Market was our third market, after Chico and Davis. From the beginning, it was obvious that this market was different. The staff realized that a farmer selling rice direct to the consumer was a new and innovative approach, and they went out of their way to promote us. In our first few weeks, we were featured in their e-letter, appeared on local television and National Public Radio, and were written about in Bay Area newspapers. A year or so later, a CUESA board member and market regular, Peggy Knickerbocker, wrote a 13-page feature article about us in Saveur magazine. The Ferry Plaza Farmers Market also gave us unprecedented exposure to chefs, leading to relationships with many Bay Area restaurants that now purchase significant quantities of rice from us.
We've also benefitted from CUESA's farmer scholarships. CUESA sponsored us when we went to Slow Food International's Terra Madre conference in Turin, Italy, and gave us funds to send our market manager to the EcoFarm Conference last year. Both of these conferences were invaluable experiences that have led to positive changes at our farm. Most recently, CUESA endorsed our loan application with Kiva Zip, a nonprofit that allows entrepreneurs like us to access interest-free loans through crowd-funding. With CUESA's help, our $4,700 loan was funded in just five days. This loan will help us purchase a biodiesel processor that will enable us to convert our crops into fuel for our tractors, helping to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.
We are very appreciative of CUESA's help over the years. It is clear to us that the progress we have made on our farm would have come much more slowly, or not at all, without CUESA's help. The difference between CUESA and other organizations that run farmers markets is very distinct. Whereas other market associations simply host markets, the CUESA staff does their very best to ensure that our farm, and others like us, become more successful and sustainable. CUESA is an excellent organization that is most worthy of your support.
Greg Massa

A joint committee with members from the House and Senate is tasked with crafting a compromise farm bill. A deal before the end of the year is looking less likely, and if the bill is allowed to expire, an old law will kick in that will cause milk prices to rise significantly.
We need a farm bill that reforms outdated farm subsidies, protects our natural resources, and invests in a healthier future for all of us. Businesses and organizations can sign on to this letter endorsed by CUESA and more than 400 other groups. Individuals can ask Congress to pass a Farm Bill that safeguards public health and the environment and that preserves federal nutrition assistance programs.
Tell Congress to Suspend Bee-Toxic Pesticides
The EU has just begun a two-year suspension on several bee-toxic pesticides, but U.S. agencies are still refusing to step up to the plate. Representatives John Conyers (D, MI) and Earl Blumenauer (D, OR) have introduced the Saving America's Pollinators Act (H.R. 2692), calling for the suspension of neonics (a class of pesticides thought to harm bees) until a full review of scientific evidence indicates they are safe and a field study demonstrates no harmful impacts to pollinators. Tell your Representative to protect pollinators.
Say No to Genetically Modified Apples
The biotech industry is hoping to introduce a new genetically modified food: an apple that is engineered not to brown when you slice it. If the USDA approves the product, it could soon turn up in school cafeterias, restaurants, and grocery stores. The U.S. Apple Association and other grower groups have opposed these apples, and, like with other GE products, no labeling would be required. Comments are due December 16. Tell USDA to reject this GE apple.

Gorgeous property along the Embassy Row. A true "suite" with full galley kitchen, bathroom with shower and separate area to put on makeup and dry hair outside the shower area but away from the beds so as not to disturb someone who might be sleeping. The staff was OUTSTANDING. They were helpful without being intrusive. The parking lot IS small but doable and nice that there is no charge. One downside is with it being in a residential area and football bowl game weekend there was a party in the apartment directly across the alley from our room......LOUD! But not for more than an hour or so and certainly not something the hotel could control. Would definitely return.

The Norwegian Invasion of Denmark was a brief conflict between the Kingdoms of Norway and Denmark that saw the complete defeat of the Danish army by the forces of Norway. As a result, Norway gained control over Denmark and eventually began further expansion into Sweden and Ireland.
Prior to his expedition to claim the throne of England, Duke William of Normandy made an agreement with Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV and King Sweyn II of Denmark for support. Despite only being able to give meagre troops and supplies, William agreed to defend Denmark from Norway in the case that the latter ever attacked the former. However, after the end of the War of the English Succession , the Peace of Westminster required that William of England not take up arms against the Kingdom of Norway for twenty-five years. Seeking both revenge for the losses his men faced fighting the English and Normans, as well as the pursuit of uniting the Scandinavian realms under one king, Harald Hardrada raised a new army in 1071, crossed the Skagerrak Strait, and invaded Denmark.
War on Land
In June 1071, having raised an army of 8,000, King Harald Hardrada crossed the Skagerrak and landed at the beaches of Fladstrand. Hardrada refused to bring much supplies with him to Denmark to make the trip faster and so fewer ships could carry more men. Instead he relied on a burnt-earth strategy of pillaging local villages for supplies, the most notorious of such cases being Hjorring, where the entire village was not only ransacked, but burnt to the ground for resisting the Norwegians. After hearing of the horrors that befell Hjorring, the town of Hirtshals surrendered to the Norwegians with very little resistance. From there the Norwegians march to, and conquered, the towns of Thisted and Norresundby with relative ease.
Sweyn II, very shaken by the rapidity of the Norwegian assault, raised an army of 3,000 men and marched it north to prevent a successful Norwegian crossing of the Limfjord. At narrow sections of the fjord, the Danish had torn apart some of their longboats and several bridges in a desperate attempt to halt the Norwegian advance. To avoid fighting the brunt of Sweyn's army just yet, Harald marched his army from the Norresundby area to Thyborons, where they built a large pontoon bridge across the fjord and continued to march south. This actions forced Sweyn to march an already tired army back down the Jutland peninsula to Viborg.
From Thyborn, the Norwegians marched to the large town of Holstebro, where Hardrada had planned to meet some longboats that could take his men down the Stora River. However, after several defeats at sea by the Danish fleet, his navy was unable to meet him, forcing Hardrada to continue their march by land. Deciding to meet the enemy and crush them on land, where he had a greater advantage, Harald and his men marched to Viborg, where they encountered Sweyn's army en force. A large battle ensued, but by the end of the day the Norwegians had crushed the Danish army by a combination of numbers and the skill of Hardrada's archers. Defeated, Sweyn marched his forces back to Vejle.
Following the defeat of the Danes at Viborg, the Norwegians again began their campaign of pillaging and stripped the Danish countryside of necessary supplies. After the fall of Horsen in February 1072, Sweyn again feared that the Norwegians would defeat him in battle, and thus retreated to the island of Funen. Having seen their king betray them readily to save himself, and hoping to escape the wrath of Harald Hardrada, many of the towns left on the Jutland peninsula willingly surrendered to Norway. Having successfully employed Thorgils Ericson's strategy of naval attrition, Hardrada could easily cross the Baltic Sea and fight Sweyn on land again.
After retreating of Odense, Sweyn travelled to Nyborg to avoid another Norwegian attack. However, Sweyn's plans to cross the sea again to Korsor failed as the ships he had prepared for that venture were again defeated by Thorgils Ericson. Having run out of options, Sweyn called on all the men of Funen to fight for their king, raising a force of 2,500 to fight Hardrada. When the Norwegians reached Nyborg they were at least surprised to meet a larger force than expected. However the experience of Hardrada's troops made the difference and as Sweyn had put the militiamen at the front of his force to keep his troops rested, he set himself up for defeat. The Norwegians attacked the militiamen, who began to fall back after taking moderate casualties, many began to flee to avoid being trampeled by others. The resulting confusion lead many of them to retreat into the lines of Sweyn's real troops, further adding to the confusion among the Danes. With a single, frontal assault on the Danish troops, Hardrada managed to win the battle, and Sweyn surrendered himself to the Norwegians. In return for sanctuary, Sweyn agreed to surrender the rest of his realm to the Norwegians.
War at Sea
After the Danish victory at the Battle of Svoldor in 999, the Kingdom of Norway had been inferior in naval warfare to the Kingdom of Denmark. Hoping to recover from that defeat, King Harald Hardrada appointed Thorgils Ericson to lead in the rebuilding of the Norwegian war-fleet. Despite some advances, Thorgils still had to rely on the use of longships for his navy, but had built a fleet of eighty large longships for use in fighting the Danish fleet, as well as many smaller, faster ships. Their first engagement was at a battle off the coast of Laeso, where a Danish fleet intercepted a Norwegian force planning to raid down the River Gudena. While the Norwegian fleet had more men and larger boats, the Danish were more experience at sea-fighting after raids in the Mediterranean Sea. The resulting battle saw eight Danish longships defeat two Norwegian "warboats" and ten longships by outmanuevering them.
After his defeat off of Laeso, Ericson and his fleet limped back to Norway, gathering a larger force and sailing back to Laeso. There they met a Danish fleet of near-equal strength, and were once again forced to retreat after mounting losses, this time returning to Fredeikshaven, having recently been captured by Hardrada. After receiving re-inforcements from Norway again, Thorgils sailed his fleet arond the peninsula to the entrance of the Stora River, hoping to assist in the capture of the area. However, another Danish fleet met him towards the beginning of the river, blocking it and leaving Ericson unable to travel farther down the river. Furious at their repreated failures in 1071, Thorgils travelled back to Norway for the winter, preparing for the return of his fleet in the spring.
Once the icy waters of the Baltic Sea began to thaw in March, Thorgils sailed his large fleet once more into Danish waters, meeting them off the island of Anholt. This time Thorgils employed a strategy of attrition, his fleet had grown in numbers over the winter and now he was able to secure a victory over the Danes by sheer numbers. Over the remainder of the spring of 1072, this strategy not only won the Norwegians more naval battles, but also slowly eroded the numbers in the Danish fleet. In May 1072, off the town of Kalundborg, Thorgils Ericson won a sweeping victory against the remnants of Denmark's fleet, cutting off King Sweyn II from retreat to the east. After his surrender following the Battle of Nyborg, Sweyn II also surrendered the remaining parts of his fleet to the Norwegians.
Following the surrender of King Sweyn II of Denmark in June 1072, King Harald Hardrada made an agreement with Henry IV for Sweyn's sanctuary within the Holy Roman Empire. Fearing possible transgression, Henry IV also agreed to pay Hardrada a sum of gold in order to keep the Norwegians out of the Holy Roman Empire. Hardrada accepted the gift despite not having any plans for an invasion of German territory, but soon after died in Oslo in 1074 from natural causes. Meanwhile, Thorgils Ericson, also late in life, personally funded a series of ports along the Norwegian coast to allow for the building of a larger fleet for the Kingdom of Norway. Thorgils also brought in Italian and Byzantine shipbuilders to learn how to make larger ships called galleys for the Norwegian Navy. The growing power of Norway's navy and the apparent mastery of the Baltic Sea would soon have repercussions in much of Europe.

According to a new study, the last bite of food you have is crucial, so much so that it appears to play a role in your memory and whether or not you'll crave it again.
The study published in the journal Psychological Science sheds new light on how food memories are created and their role in determining eating habits.
"Research has told us a lot about factors that influence what foods people want to consume, but less is known about factors that influence when they want to consume a particular food again," explains researcher and lead author Emily Garbinsky of the Stanford University Graduate School of Business.
Research results are beneficial for food companies whose profits are determined by the frequency of sales.
The study called on 134 undergraduates to select their favorite of three different flavored Nut Thin crackers. The students were then given varying portions of their favorite flavor.
The test group that consumed the largest portion size of 15 crackers reported less enjoyment than the group whose portion size was limited to three crackers.
These group results reflects a well-established understanding that bites become successively less enjoyable.
Participants who consumed a small portion were quicker to ask for a giveaway box of their favorite Nut Thins than those in the group that was given larger portions. This meant that the memory of the last bites interfere with that of the first, according to Garbinsky.
Yet verbal reminders put the memory back on track during the next part of the test in which students were asked to drink a glass of juice. Having been verbally reminded of how good the first sip tasted, the participants were quicker to ask for a giveaway juice-box than those who received no reminders.
"This finding is important in that it suggests that large portions may be somewhat detrimental to companies because they extend the amount of time that passes until repeat consumption occurs," says Garbinsky. "And it's also important to the public, as eating too much of a favorite -- or healthy -- food may increase the delay until one wants to eat it again."
Garbinsky cautions that the results of her laboratory experiments might not correspond to real-life settings and that further research will be necessary to confirm her findings.

ATD 2011 Draft Thread XI - The Aftermath

Hopefully, you don't count Australia as 'Asia', or else I'm in trouble!
I guess I'll venture and give my thought on this whole situation.
First of all, it's quite sad, because I thought highly of ZM teams of ATD#11, while always been a great fan of Nighthawks' teams. I thought the Sabres' team was fantastic, most of the selection was magnificent for a rookie GM. I guess it was too good to be true.
Reading every post, I'm in between the 'laissez-aller' of 70's and overpass and the the rigidity of Jarek. I'll put this point by point:
1) First of all, the situation is very hilarious as TDMM pointed out. I'm definitely not offended by what happened. I'm in Australia, the life is great, the girls are beautiful. It's the Internet, let's not make it a bigger deal than it should be.
2) We already had this little discussion one week ago, but the ATD is a fun experience first and foremost. Yes, it is indeed sad and a little pathetic that a person would go this far for his Internet amusement.
3) We definitely had are ups and down between us, but I always had great respect in the knowledge and the dedication of VanI. His knowledge alone and research he brings alone should carry alot of weight into keeping him around
4) The ATD is only the ATD, but I always felt it was one of the best thing the Internet had to offer to me and definitely the best HFBoards had to offer. HFBoards and the ATD cover 90% of my time on the Internet. We have to respect how highly each individual view the ATD as an entity. Some GM's just select players without arguing, some takes some time to research and argue, some are hardcore fans and some ... well ... Anyway, I respect the opinion on Jarek and how disgusted he is about the situation. Although I don't necessarily 100% agree with it, I'm kind of sad and also a little bit angry that such a great GM like VanIslander decide to play such a childish and 'teenager' like game of the 'advancement' of the All-Time Draft. If he had done all this for gaining a competitive edge, at least we could have brushed it behind immaturity, but as I truly believe it was really for the advancement and the good measure of the ATD, I feel VanIslander really got a problem that perhaps goes beyond the Internet. Really, what was he thinking? And the worst is that he played that game for several years.
5) I was the commisioner in ATD#11 and I was one of two GM collecting the results for the regular season and the playoffs. I still own a excel copy of the regular season voting and the first two round of playoffs. In the way I tabulated the results, I cannot be conclusive for whom ZM/VanIslander voted for in the regular season. However, I know for whom VanIslander voted in the first round of playoffs. In the matchup between the Detroit Red Wings (Spitfire11) and the Colorado Avalanches (ZamboniMania), he voted for the Avalanches in 7 games. It didn't changed the results, as the Red Wings won anyway, but honestly this bother me alot
There's other issues in here, but I don't want to go on and on and losing too much time on this. My personal opinion goes like this: although obviously this is something very insignificant in the grand scheme of all our lives, it's still remain an important issue on the ATD. I still don't get my head around someone who I thought was a professor in some foreign country do that kind of thing. Obviously, any of VanI or his clone shouldn't participate in any discussion/voting until the end of this draft. Like some poster like Sturminator pointed out, we shouldn't rush into a verdict on this situation, we probably should talk about it after the champion is crown. One thing is sure is that we should take our time and make the right decision.
With all that, I don't have time to send my votes today, is it okay if I do so in 20 hours?

After a scoreless first half in Saturday's A-League clash with Wellington in Christchurch, Central Coast coach Tony Walmsley looked to his bench.
His back four were under constant pressure, and the Mariners' opportunities in the attacking third were limited.
With two wins from 16 games, and last on the ladder, the Mariners' chances didn't look good.
But with former Liverpool legend Luis Garcia sitting on the bench as his marquee signing, Walmsley had the perfect super sub.
And 45 minutes later, Central Coast had a 3-1 win, Garcia scoring one goal and setting up two others in a stunning second-half performance.
It took the 37-year-old Spaniard just five minutes to make his mark.
Mariners skipper Fabio Ferreira kick-started proceedings with a scything run down the right, Phoenix goalkeeper Glen Moss fumbled his deflected cross and a routine save turned into a 1-0 lead as Garcia back-heeled home from close range.
Three minutes later, Garcia turned provider in a well-worked one-two with Storm Roux, dinking in a sublime pass for the All Whites' defender to slot home past a despairing Moss to give the visitors a 2-0 lead.
The Mariners struck again in the 86th minute, Garcia slotting a superb through-ball for attacking midfielder Mitch Austin to punch home as Wellington's appeals for an offside run from Ferreira went unanswered.
Hard-working striker Blake Powell added a 92nd-minute consolation goal for the Phoenix, the only blight for Walmsley in a satisfying second-half rally.
"The most pleasing aspect was their ability to change, mid-game, the approach we took to the game," he said afterwards.
"We needed to change our structure in order to do that ... bringing Luis Garcia on, you look at your bench and suddenly you've got a player with his capability there ... it makes making changes that little bit easier.
"He played a different role for us tonight, we played him as a false nine and he had the freedom to drop into the pockets.
"He already had a goal and an assist before he got into the tempo of the game."
Phoenix coach Ernie Merrick was left ruing Wellington's squandered first-half opportunities.
"I thought we controlled play - the stats were overwhelmingly in favour of us and, coming in at halftime, I couldn't understand why we hadn't scored a goal or two," he said.
"Blake Powell was causing some problems, and Mikey McGlinchey running through from No.10.
"Both our flanks were working well through our full-backs, but we just don't get shots off on target."
The Mariners are still propping up the A-League table, four points behind Wellington, whose winless streak has extended to eight games

AbstractOriented composites of PZT and polymer can have properties superior to ordinary PZT as drivers for sonar transducers and hydrophones because they have a lower Poisson ratio, and a lower dielectric constant. Terfenol-D is superior to ordinary PZT because it has larger maximum strains and higher energy density, and is not subject to fatigue or depoling. For these reasons, composite Terfenol-D should be superior to both composite PZT and ordinary Terfenol-D. This is especially true at high frequencies, since the brittleness of ordinary Terfenol-D makes laminating it expensive and does not allow very thin laminations. SatCon proposes to investigate the hydrostatic magnetostrictie properities of an improved composite Terfenol-D recently developed by Prof. G. Carman's group at UCLA. It is the hydrostatic properties that are relevant for underwater sonar transducers with dimensions that are small compared to a wavelength, as would be true of a small transducer used in an array. In collaboration with the UCLA group, we will develop Terfenol composites that are optimized for sonar and hydrophone use (e.g., reducing the Poisson ration). A small composite Terfenol-D transducer, operating in the 1kHz to 20kHz range, will be designed and built in Phase I, and a full array will be built and demonstrated in Phase II.

10 million smart glasses to ship by 2018?
0. phoneArena posted on 13 Nov 2013, 01:07
According to a report by Juniper Research, by 2018 the number of smart glasses shipped each year will reach 10 million units. That is up dramatically from the 87,000 units expected to be shipped this year. The consumer sector will be at the top of the list of buyers while the enterprise will be next followed by healthcare. and the reports even uses some simple economics to suggest that the more cheaply they are priced, the more sales will be generated...
