error: Couldn't find clock_gettime
Hi there,
When i install libdrm, i get the following error:
checking for clock_gettime... no
checking for clock_gettime in -lrt... no
configure: error: Couldn't find clock_gettime
It seems that it cannt find clock_gettime function, but i find it as follow:
$ grep clock_gettime /usr/include/time.h
extern int clock_gettime (clockid_t __clock_id, struct timespec *__tp) __THROW;
Can anybody help me? Thanks a lot!
'librt.so' is provided by 'glibc-devel'
Please check with : rpm -qa | grep glibc
If no 'glibc-devel' : you will have to install it ..
# yum install glibc-devel
Hi knudfl,
Thanks for your reply! I have already installed glibc-devel.
$ rpm -qa|grep glibc-devel
Did you find a solution ?
No, the glibc-devel is installed in my system, i dont know why it cant find it. Thanks!
I tested libdrm versions 1.0.5, 2.3.1, 2.4.21
on CentOS 4 , before writing post #2.
No errors, any version.
( 2.4.21 requires libpthread-stubs ).
I have have glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.43.
Yours is older, the clock_gettime object may be
slightly different ?
Not easy to upgrade glibc with no Redhat account.
I wouldn't try it. Then rather install a new OS.
( And no guaranty, that libdrm will work at all,
no package libdrm for EL 4 might indicate that.)
Redhat AS 4 is from February 2005.
Hi knudfl,
Thanks, maybe i need install the CentOS!
I realise this is an old thread, but I had the same problem.
I had glibc-devel installed and got the
configure: error: Couldn't find clock_gettime error when trying to compile 32-bit mesa
I am running a 64-bit version of fedora and had the 64-bit glibc-devel installed.
If run 'yum install glibc-devel.i686'
that should get round the clock_gettime error, or at least it did for me.

text: Immune Response of Bangladeshi Children With Acute Diarrhea Who Subsequently Have Persistent DiarrheaAzim, Tasnim; Islam, Laila N.*; Sarker, Mohammed S.; Ahmad, Shaikh M.; Hamadani, Jena D.; Faruque, Shah M.; Salam, Mohammed A.Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology & Nutrition: November 2000 - Volume 31 - Issue 5 - pp 528-535 Original Articles Abstract Author Information Article Outline Background: Because altered immune responses may be a risk factor for persistent diarrhea, various aspects of the immune response were examined to elucidate the underlying immune mechanisms that may be involved in the development of persistent diarrhea. Methods: Children (7–12 months of age) with watery diarrhea for 6 to 8 days from the Dhaka Hospital of the International Centre for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B), were enrolled. Children were classified as having acute diarrhea (AD) or persistent diarrhea (PD) if diarrhea resolved within 14 days or persisted for more than 14 days, respectively. Uninfected control children (n = 13), from the Nutrition Follow-Up Unit of ICDDR,B were also enrolled. Of the 123 children with diarrhea who were enrolled, 85 had AD and 38 had PD. Comparisons were performed for clinical features, nutritional status (weight for age, plasma transferrin, and serum albumin levels), and immune responses: neutrophil function; peripheral blood mononuclear cell function, delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses, plasma levels of immunoglobulins, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interferon-γ. Univariate analyses were conducted to assess differences among the three groups of children and between children with AD and PD. Logistic regression was performed to determine risk factors for PD. Results: There were no differences in clinical features and nutritional status among the groups of children studied. More children in whom PD developed had a negative DTH response to tuberculin than those with AD (P = 0.021). Also, a negative DTH response to tuberculin was a significant risk factor for PD (odds ratio [OR] = 3.8, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.5–9.9). Conclusions: Children with acute diarrhea with a negative DTH response to tuberculin are more likely to have development of persistent diarrhea.

ABSTRACT MATERIALS AND METHODS Patient Population Collection and Storage of Samples Determination of Total Immunoglobulin Levels Measurement of Cytokine Levels in Plasma Assays for Mononuclear Cell Function Functional Assays for Neutrophils Assays to Determine Nutritional Status Statistical Analysis ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS RESULTS Characteristics of Children Enrolled Neutrophil Function Total Immunoglobulin Levels in Plasma Cytokine Levels in Plasma Mononuclear Cell Responses Logistic Regression DISCUSSION Acknowledgments: REFERENCES Cited By Acute diarrhea (AD) is usually self-limiting, but in some individuals diarrhea persists for 14 days or more and is defined as persistent diarrhea (PD) (1). In developing countries, 30% to 50% of deaths from diarrhea are due to PD (2). Although the cause of PD is not well understood, several risk factors have been identified and include malnutrition (3), decreased breast-feeding (3,4), infection with enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAggEC) (5), concomitant signs of chest infection (3), and decreased cell-mediated immunity (6–8). More recently, it has been shown that in children with AD in whom PD subsequently developed there were increased numbers of peripheral blood CD8+ T cells and a lower CD4+ T-cell response to stimulants than in children who did not have PD (9). With specific diarrheal pathogens, such as rotavirus (RV), we recently found that plasma levels of interferon-γ (IFNγ) but not tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) or interleukin (IL)-10, at 6 to 8 days of diarrhea were higher in children who subsequently had PD than in children who recovered without PD (10). The role of these risk factors is not clear, but they may be interlinked. It has been suggested that PD may not be related to specific biologic factors only but to a series of factors that are biologic, social, and environmental (11). However, because most analyses for risk factors for PD have been conducted in children with similar social and environmental backgrounds, biologic factors may play a key role. Therefore, a better understanding of the underlying biologic factors is required for the prevention and management of PD. In this study, we examined various aspects of the immune response to assess whether they affect the duration of diarrhea in children with acute watery diarrhea. We compared responses in three groups of children: those with a history of diarrhea for 6 to 8 days who recovered within 14 days of onset; those with a duration of diarrhea of 6 to 8 days in whom diarrhea persisted for more than 14 days after onset, and those who were uninfected (control children). In addition, we assessed the role of clinical features and nutritional status of children with diarrhea in the development of PD. Back to Top | Article Outline MATERIALS AND METHODS Patient Population Children attending the Clinical Research and Service Centre of the International Centre for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B), in Dhaka, were enrolled. The inclusion criteria for the children were both sexes, 7 to 12 months of age, and presence of watery diarrhea for 6 to 8 days. The exclusion criteria were presence of blood with stools and history of measles in the past 6 months. Children were clinically evaluated by medical history, daily physical examination, and laboratory investigations that included determination of total and differential counts of leukocytes and serum electrolyte levels, when indicated. All children were treated with appropriate fluid replacement therapy. Some children received antibiotics in the hospital if they had concurrent infections, such as respiratory tract infection. Lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) was defined by the presence of crepitations in the lungs on auscultation. If, in these children, diarrhea improved within 14 days of onset, the children were classified as having AD, but if diarrhea persisted beyond 14 days, the children were classified as having PD. Improvement in diarrhea was defined as a decrease in stool frequency to less than five in 24 hours and/or change of stool consistency from liquid or loose stools to soft stools. Once PD developed, the children entered the standard management protocol for PD in ICDDR,B, which includes rehydration, dietary management, and the use of drugs where indicated, including micronutrient supplementation. These children were then withdrawn from the study. Children, also between 7 and 12 months of age, and without any apparent infection for 1 month and no history of measles for 6 months, attending the Nutrition Follow-Up Unit of ICDDR,B, were included as uninfected control subjects. Stools freshly collected from all children on enrollment were examined microscopically, cultured for enteric bacteria (12), and assessed for the presence of RV by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), as described elsewhere (13). The presence of enterotoxigenic (ETEC), enteropathogenic (EPEC), and enteroaggregative (EAggEC) E. coli was determined using specific DNA probes, as described previously (14,15). From children with PD, second samples of stool were collected at 15 to 18 days after the onset of diarrhea and examined for enteropathogens including RV and diarrheagenic E. coli as described for the first sample. Back to Top | Article Outline Collection and Storage of Samples Samples of stool and venous blood were collected from all children on enrollment. Four milliliters of blood was collected aseptically in sterile heparinized tubes (Vacutainer; Becton Dickinson, Rutherford, NJ, U.S.A.), 2 mL in sterile ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-containing tubes (Vacutainer), and 1 mL in sterile glass vials. Serum was separated from blood in glass vials and plasma from blood in EDTA-containing tubes by centrifugation for 10 minutes and was stored in aliquots at −20°C and −70°C respectively, until assayed. Fresh blood collected in heparinized tubes was separated on Ficoll Hypaque (Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden) by centrifugation at 500 g for 25 minutes. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMs), which formed a band at the interface, were collected, washed, and counted. Plasma was collected from above the band for PBMs and frozen in aliquots at −20°C. Granulocytes, which formed a pellet with red blood cells (RBCs), were isolated by sedimentation through dextran (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, U.S.A.) and washed twice with a mixture of Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS, Sigma) and 10 mM 3-(N-morpholino) propane-sulphonic acid (MOPS). The remaining RBCs were lysed by hypotonic shock. Granulocytes were subsequently resuspended at 106 per mL of HBSS-MOPS. In all cases the cell suspension contained more than 95% neutrophils, with the remainder of cells mainly comprising basophils and eosinophils. Back to Top | Article Outline Determination of Total Immunoglobulin Levels Total immunoglobulin (Ig)A, IgM, and IgG in plasma that had been stored at −20°C were measured by turbidimetry in a discrete analyzer (Cobas-Bio; Roche, Nutley, NJ, U.S.A.) with monospecific antisera (Dakopatts, Glostrup, Denmark). Results were expressed as milligrams per milliliters of plasma. Back to Top | Article Outline Measurement of Cytokine Levels in Plasma Cytokines (IFNγ and TNFα) were measured in plasma that was stored at −70°C. Levels of TNFα were measured by enzyme immunoassay (OptEIA Human TNFα kit; PharMingen, San Diego, CA, U.S.A.). The minimum detection limit of TNFα was 1.42 pg/mL. Concentrations were calculated by interpolation from a standard curve and expressed as picograms per milliliter of plasma. Levels of IFNγ were measured with an ELISA, as described elsewhere (10), with a detection limit of 110 pg/mL. Concentrations were calculated by interpolation from a standard curve and expressed as picograms per milliliter of plasma. Back to Top | Article Outline Assays for Mononuclear Cell Function The proliferative response of PBMs was assessed on resting cells by measuring spontaneous DNA synthesis and on cells stimulated with mitogens, as described previously (16). Results of spontaneous DNA synthesis were expressed as counts per minute (cpm). For stimulation, the mitogens used were phytohaemagglutinin (PHA, Wellcome Diagnostics, Dartford, UK) at 0.6 μg/mL, concanavalin A (ConA; Sigma) at 5 μg/mL, and pokeweed mitogen (PWM; Sigma) at 2.5 μg/mL. Results were expressed as a stimulation index that was calculated by dividing the mean count per minute of cells with mitogen by the mean count per minute of cells without mitogen. Delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses were measured by skin tests (Multitest CMI kit; Pasteur Mérieux, Lyon, France), wherein seven antigens and a glycerin control solution were injected into the skin of the paravertebral area of the back of each child and the induration measured at the end of 48 hours. An induration of 2 mm or more was considered a positive response. The antigens present in the kit include tetanus (550,000 Mérieux U/mL), diphtheria (1,100,000 Mérieux U/mL), Streptococcus (group C; 2,000 Mérieux U/mL), tuberculin (300,000 IU/mL), Candida albicans (2000 Mérieux U/mL), trichophyton mentagrophytes (150 Mérieux U/mL), and Proteus mirabilis (150 Mérieux U/mL). The test was performed only on those children who had been immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, and tuberculosis. Back to Top | Article Outline Functional Assays for Neutrophils The polarization or shape change assay for neutrophils was performed against log dilutions (ranging from 10−5 to 10−9 M) of the pure chemotactic factor N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP; Sigma), as described elsewhere (17). The percentage of polarizing cells was assessed by viewing under a light microscope (BH-2, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) with ×40 objective. Neutrophils with a spherical outline or with a few filamentous projections were counted as round cells. Any cell deviating from this spherical morphology, including cells with a constriction separating a spherical outline of the membrane from a ruffled outline, was scored as a polarized cell. Polarized cells were expressed as a percentage of the total number of granulocytes counted. At least 300 granulocytes were counted. Assays were also performed to determine neutrophil attachment to unopsonized and opsonized (in fresh autologous plasma) Baker's yeast particles, as described elsewhere (17). Results were expressed as the percentage of neutrophils attached to at least three yeast particles and the number of yeast particles attached per 100 randomly selected neutrophils. At least 300 neutrophils were counted. Back to Top | Article Outline Assays to Determine Nutritional Status Transferrin was measured in plasma by turbidimetry in a discrete analyzer (Cobas-Bio; Roche) using a transferrin detection kit (Boehringer Mannheim, Mannheim, Germany). Results were expressed as milligrams per decaliter and calculated by interpolation from a standard curve using human serum standards ranging from 59 to 426 mg/dL (Boehringer Mannheim). In control assays a serum protein was used that was provided in the kit, and, in addition, samples were arbitrarily spiked with commercially available serum of known transferrin concentration. The coefficient of variation was 4% to 8%. Albumin was measured in serum by a photometric calorimetric test kit (ALBUMIN liquicolor, Human Diagnostics, Wiesbaden, Germany) and results expressed as grams per liter. Back to Top | Article Outline Statistical Analysis The Kruskal–Wallis test was used for nonparametric data in comparisons among the three groups of children. For parametric data, the three groups of children were compared using the one-way analysis of variance, and when results were significant, the Bonferroni test was applied to determine differences between any two groups. Two groups were compared using the Mann–Whitney test (for nonparametric data) or the t-test (for parametric data). For comparisons between proportions, the χ2 statistic or Fisher's exact test was used. Differences were considered to be significant when P < 0.05. The correlation between the information gathered at admission from patients with diarrhea and the development of PD was examined with logistic regression. All variables that could be correlated with the development of PD (age, weight for age, stool frequency, presence of LRTI on admission, plasma transferrin levels, serum albumin levels, plasma TNFα levels, DTH response to any antigen, and DTH response to tuberculin) were analyzed. For the regression analysis, only data from patients with diarrhea were used (AD and PD). Data analyses were performed by computer (Statistical Package for Social Sciences, ver. 8.0 for Windows, SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL, U.S.A.; and Epi Info ver. 6, USD, Stone Mountain, GA, , U.S.A.). Back to Top | Article Outline ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS The Ethics Review Committee of ICDDR,B approved the study. Back to Top | Article Outline RESULTS Characteristics of Children Enrolled A total of 136 children 7 to 12 months of age were enrolled. Of these, 13 were uninfected control subjects, 85 had AD, and 38 had PD. Enteric pathogens isolated on enrollment from the stools of children with diarrhea (i.e., at 6–8 days of diarrhea) and from the stools of children in whom PD developed at 15 to 18 days of diarrhea are shown in Table 1. The only organism that was significantly associated with the development of PD was EAggEC (P = 0.029). When compared with the pathogens isolated from the stools on enrollment, of the 38 children with PD, 17 had either no pathogens or the same pathogen isolated at 15 to 18 days of diarrhea. Table 1 The clinical characteristics and nutritional status of the children on enrollment are shown in Table 2. Uninfected children were older than children with diarrhea, whether AD or PD (P < 0.05 for both), but children with AD and those in whom PD subsequently developed were similar in age. The number of children with signs of LRTI on enrollment was similar in children with AD and those with PD. However, when the number of children who had LRTI at any time during the study period was compared, it was found that more children with PD had LRTI (16/38) than children with AD (19/85;P = 0.031). The extent of dehydration was similar in children with AD or those in whom PD developed (data not shown). There were no differences in the total and differential leukocyte counts in the blood among the three groups of children and in the number of leukocytes and erythrocytes in the stools of the two groups of children with diarrhea (data not shown). Table 2 The nutritional status (Table 2), measured by weight for age as a percentage of the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) median; serum albumin levels; and plasma transferrin levels were similar among the three groups of children. Back to Top | Article Outline Neutrophil Function Table 3 shows the percentage of polarized neutrophils with and without FMLP. The percentages of neutrophils that polarized in response to 10−8, 10−7, and 10−5 M FMLP were significantly higher in children with diarrhea, whether AD or PD, compared with uninfected children. Children with AD and those with PD had similar responses. Table 3 The percentage of neutrophils attached to yeast particles and the number of yeast particles attached per 100 neutrophils were similar in the three groups of children (data not shown). Back to Top | Article Outline Total Immunoglobulin Levels in Plasma There were no differences in the levels of total IgA (uninfected children: median = 0.7 mg/mL, 25th–75th quartiles = 0–1.1 mg/mL; AD: median = 0.7 mg/mL, 25th–75th quartiles = 0–1.0 mg/mL; PD: median = 0.7 mg/mL, 25th–75th quartiles = 0–1.0 mg/mL), IgG (uninfected children: median = 10.6 mg/mL, 25th–75th quartiles = 9.1–12.4 mg/mL; AD: median = 8.2 mg/mL, 25th–75th quartiles = 6.1–10.8 mg/mL; PD: median = 7.8 mg/mL, 25th–75th quartiles = 5.7–10.6 mg/mL), and IgM (uninfected children: median = 1.4 mg/mL, 25th–75th quartiles = 1.1–1.9 mg/mL; AD: median = 1.8 mg/mL, 25th–75th quartiles = 1.3–2.3 mg/mL; PD: median =1.5 mg/mL, 25th–75th quartiles = 1.1–2.0 mg/mL) in the plasma of the three groups of children. Back to Top | Article Outline Cytokine Levels in Plasma The levels of TNFα and IFNγ in the plasma are shown in Figure 1, A and B, respectively. There were no differences in the levels of both cytokines among the three groups of children. However, for TNFα, there were three outliers in the PD group (Fig. 1A) that may have affected the analysis and because of which comparisons were repeated without the three outliers. Comparisons without outliers showed significant differences among the three groups of children (P = 0.013). and levels were higher in children with AD when compared with those in whom PD subsequently developed (median = 0 pg/mL, 25th–75th quartiles = 0–2.9 pg/mL;P = 0.017) or uninfected children (P = 0.036). Uninfected children and those in whom PD subsequently developed had similar levels of TNFα in the plasma. Fig. 1 Back to Top | Article Outline Mononuclear Cell Responses Spontaneous proliferation of PBMs and proliferation of PBMs in response to mitogens including PHA, PWM, and ConA were compared among the three groups of children. There was a significant difference in the spontaneous proliferation of PBMs among the three groups of children (P = 0.001). Lower proliferation was observed in uninfected children (median = 849 cpm, 25th–75th quartiles = 499–1179 cpm) than in those with AD (median = 2043 cpm, 25th–75th quartiles = 1454–4194 cpm;P < 0.001) or those with PD (median = 1941 cpm, 25th–75th quartiles = 957 –3150 cpm;P = 0.011). Spontaneous proliferation of PBMs was similar in children with AD and in those with PD. There were no differences in proliferation of PBMs in response to any of the mitogens tested among the three groups of children (data not shown). Delayed-type hypersensitivity responses were compared by the number of children who had a positive response to at least one antigen and to individual antigens (Table 4). Such comparisons showed a significant difference in the tuberculin response among the three groups of children (P = 0.021) and more children with PD had a negative tuberculin response than did children with AD (P = 0.024). Table 4 Back to Top | Article Outline Logistic Regression Of the variables analyzed to assess the relative risk (odds ratio, OR) for the development of PD, only a negative DTH response to tuberculin significantly correlated with the development of PD (OR = 3.8, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.4–9.9). Back to Top | Article Outline DISCUSSION In this study we compared clinical features, nutritional status, and immune responses of uninfected children and children with diarrhea at 6 to 8 days after the onset of diarrhea to determine the risk factors for the development of PD. Of all the parameters examined, a negative DTH response to tuberculin was the only parameter that was found to be a significant risk factor for the development of PD. It has been suggested that PD may not be related to specific biologic factors but to a series of biologic, social, and environmental factors (11). Although the socioeconomic status of the children was not assessed in this study, the surveillance data from the CRSC of ICDDR,B (18) shows that patients attending the CRSC are usually from urban areas and were of low socioeconomic status (19). Uninfected children were older than those with diarrhea (whether AD or PD) but children with AD and those with PD were comparable in age. Because it was possible that older age of uninfected children could influence the analyses, we also conducted the analyses between children with AD and those with PD and the comparisons yielded similar results. Clinical characteristics and routine laboratory tests of the children with diarrhea on enrollment could not differentiate children who recovered versus those who would have PD, which confirm previous data (20). In this study, of the enteric organisms isolated, EAggEC was the only organism that was significantly more common in children in whom PD developed and this corroborates previous findings (5). Also, the enteric organisms isolated after 14 days of diarrhea was in most cases different from the initial infecting organism, which is similar to other reports confirming that PD is more often due to sequential infection with different enteric organisms rather than to persistence of the same organism (1,21,22). Taniguchi et al. (9) found that during AD, children who subsequently had PD had lower plasma transferrin levels than those who recovered, but there was no difference in their weight for age. In contrast, Mahalanabis et al. (3) found that low weight for age was associated with the development of PD in children with AD. In the current study no differences were found among the three groups of children in the nutritional parameters that we examined. The reason for the discrepancies between these studies is not clear, but an important difference between these studies is the age of the children enrolled. In the present study, children between 7 and 12 months were enrolled, whereas in the other studies children from 1 to 36 months (3) or 7 to 60 months (9) were enrolled. In Bangladesh malnutrition is most prevalent in children between 7 and 24 months of age (23), and it is possible that the difference in nutritional status between children with AD and PD in this age group is a minor one that would require a larger sample size for detection. It has been reported that signs of concomitant chest infections are a risk factor for the development of PD (3). In this study there was no difference in the number of children with LRTI at the time of enrollment (at 6–8 days after the onset of diarrhea) in children with AD and those in whom PD developed. Although more children in whom PD developed also had LRTI develop during their hospital stay, it is not possible to exclude that similar numbers of children with AD would also have LRTI had they been observed for a similar duration. However, it is known that systemic infections in children with PD are common (24) and are a risk factor for death caused by PD (25). The association between PD and other infections is not clear. Studies performed prospectively on healthy children from the community (6) and children with diarrhea from the hospital (9,10) have so far shown that altered immune responses precede the development of PD. In this study we examined neutrophil function, mononuclear cell function, total immunoglobulin levels in plasma, IFNγ and TNFα levels in plasma, and DTH responses to skin tests. Of all the immune parameters examined a statistically significant difference between children with AD and those in whom PD developed was found in the DTH response to tuberculin, and a negative response was found to be a significant risk factor for the development of PD. The DTH response to tuberculin is related to the nutritional status; presence of intercurrent viral infections, especially measles, varicella, and influenza; and the immunologic status of the children (26). Progressive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) with declining CD4+ T cell counts is also associated with a negative tuberculin response (27). In the present study, the nutritional status of the children was similar in all three groups. Of the intercurrent infections, all children enrolled had no history of measles in the past 6 months, and none had any apparent signs of chicken pox. Also, on enrollment, equal numbers of children in the AD and PD groups had signs of LRTI. We did not test for HIV in this study because the data so far show that the prevalence of HIV is still low among population groups exhibiting high-risk behavior in Bangladesh (28) and that among 250 children with PD attending the CRSC of ICDDR,B who were tested for HIV, none were positive (29). It is likely that some immunologic parameter is altered in children who progress to PD. The tuberculin skin test is a type IV hypersensitivity response in which there is an influx of neutrophils at the initial phase followed by T cells and monocytes (30). Of the T cells, CD4+ T cells predominate. We did not find any alterations in neutrophil polarization, which is an early event in neutrophil activation, or in neutrophil attachment to yeast particles. These findings suggest that altered neutrophil function is unlikely to be responsible for the decreased response in children who have PD. A more likely explanation is decreased activation of CD4+ T cells that has been reported recently in children with diarrhea in whom PD subsequently developed (9). The CD4+ T cells secrete cytokines that can influence the DTH response (30). In this study we did not find significant differences in the plasma levels of TNFα and IFNγ in the three groups of children, and, although, reanalysis of plasma levels of TNFα, after removal of the three outliers, showed significantly lower levels in children who subsequently had PD compared with those with AD, all three children with high TNFα levels had a negative DTH response to tuberculin. This finding, therefore, suggests that the negative DTH response to tuberculin in children who have PD is not related to the secretion of TNFα. Therefore, in summary, although there is an association between a negative DTH response to tuberculin and the development of PD in children with AD, the mechanisms involved need elucidation.

No. Actually that would be a stupid thing to do on many levels.
1. You are going into a situation that is on someone else s property, this puts you instantly at odds with the law concerning self defense, you have no right to be there, carrying or not.
Not true. Just because I am not on my own property does not mean that I don't have rights to self defense. However, if you know of a particular Texas law that states this, please share it as it would seem to be a rather key law lacking from CHL instruction courses.
2. While you could simply phone the neighbor and ask him to tone it down, or call LE and complain, you have taken it upon yourself to become an "uninvited guest" This puts you at a disadvantage, and you have put yourself at unnecessary risk.
Generally speaking, I don't consider any of my neighbors to be a risk to me and I have no more concern about confronting them than they would confronting me. I am not going to disarm just because I want to ask my neighbor to turn down his stereo.
Uninvited guest? I don't recall seeing that stipulated in the trespass laws, but going up and knocking on the front door to address the homeowner is not considered being an uninvited guest anymore than a cop or door-to-door salesman would be an uninvited guests. It is the point of contact, a standard point of contact commonly used. If I have not previously been told not to enter the property and the property is not posted against trespass, then there is no problem with being there so long as not being told to leave.
But if I think I'm going to a place where I have a higher than normal everyday risk of confronting a particular person and need a gun - maybe I shouldn't go to that particular place to engage that particular person.
I also have no problem with this statement, but I won't disarm just because I am going to knock on the neighbor's door and ask him to crank it down. Just because I don't think there will be a problem doesn't mean a problem won't occur...and it may not even be with the neighbor having the party.
I submit that had he: A. "let the cops handle it" or B. "not brought his gun" we would likely not be discussing this at all.
Based on my own experience, big parties don't quiet down even after a visit from the neighbor. The party in question was a big party, so the cops should have handled it but Rodriguez was impatient and had issues apparently. And had he not brought his gun (as if the gun is the problem???), you are right, we likely would not be discussing the indicent here, but not because something didn't happen. Instead, it would be discussed on one of the unarmed combat or non-firearm combat forums discussing how it was that Rodriguez got beat to a pulp.

The Pattern of _ m _ hr : Tota Hasegawa
Tota Hasegawa was commissioned to create this artwork by the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo for the recent exhibition, Roppongi Crossing 2007: Future Beats in Japanese Contemporary Art, part of a series of exhibitions at the museum that began in 2004 and look at Japanese creative talent working in a wide range of genres
Hasegawa was one of 36 artists exhibiting in the show. This work contains a grid of analogue clocks arranged on the canvas – as the time changes, the hands move around to form a moving abstract pattern.
"The inspiration for the artwork came from the graphical shapes that clock hands make," says Hasegawa. "They are 3d, but also indicate the fourth dimension (time) in our life. The clocks move very accurately and show different shapes at every moment – I found those shapes somehow poetic. By laying many of them out in a grid, they become less a clock and more a graphical device."

Turn of the Century
* National Bestseller
In his brash, brilliant first novel, New York Times bestselling author Kurt Andersen casts a penetrating eye on our giddy, media-obsessed era. With a keen sense of irony and a storyteller's grace, he weaves a tale that is at once a biting satire and a wickedly incisive portrait of marriage, family, love, and friendship.
The millennium is here. BarbieWorld has opened in Las Vegas. Charles Manson's parole hearing is on live TV. And George and Lizzie are a Manhattan power couple with three kids in private school and take-out from Hiroshima Boy waiting at the door. Lizzie owns a software start-up. George is a TV producer. With cell phones tickling their thighs and gossip buzzing in their ears, their future couldn't be brighter. Until, that is, Lizzie cuts a deal with George's boss and gets an office twenty-one floorsabove her husband's. Until all the glitter and the hype threaten to destroy George's and Lizzie's sanity and their marriage. Until the only thing that can save them is a little understanding—at a time when everyone is talking but no one hears a thing.

PRESIDENT Hugo Chavez is "gaining strength" as he finishes post-operative care and entering a "new phase" of cancer treatment, Venezuelan Vice President Nicolas Maduro said yesterday.
Mr Chavez anointed Mr Maduro his political heir before flying to Cuba for a fourth round of cancer surgery on December 11. The longtime Venezuelan leader's condition has been the topic of much debate ever since.
Mr Chavez is "finishing the post-operative period and will enter a new phase of treatment," Maduro said. "His vital signs and organ function are stabilising, he is conscious and gaining strength for the next stage."
The Venezuelan government has been releasing only minimal information on the condition of Mr vChavez, a 58-year-old former paratrooper who first came to power in 1999 and won another six-year term in October elections.
The longtime figurehead of the region's anti-American left could not attend his scheduled inauguration on January 10 because of his poor health and the swearing-in has been postponed indefinitely.
The Venezuelan government has admitted that Mr Chavez suffered complications, including a severe pulmonary infection that resulted in "respiratory insufficiency," but has given no long-term prognosis from doctors.
Aides and family members have had to tamp down speculation that Mr Chavez might not make a full recovery. Almost six weeks after he left Venezuela he is yet to be seen in public and remains, presumably, in a Havana hospital.
Speaking to private Venezuelan television network Televen, Mr Maduro said he had spoken with Mr Chavez on several occasions, including a January 14 visit when he described the president as being "very interested in oil prices".
Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world, which have allowed Mr Chavez to project power across the region.
"We're always optimistic in the sense that sooner or later we will have the president here with us," Mr Maduro said, adding that El Comandante was in good spirits and focused on his treatment.
Tensions are running high in Venezuela amid uncertainty over the future of Mr Chavez, but for now the decision by the Supreme Court to allow the indefinite postponement of the inauguration is being respected.
Venezuela's opposition on Friday cancelled a march planned for January 23, saying it feared Mr Chavez's ruling party would "incite violence" with its own parallel mass demonstration.
Mr Chavez has been the face of the Latin American left for more than a decade and has dominated the political scene in Venezuela.
Before leaving Caracas, he urged his armed forces to be on the lookout for any attempt, "from outside or from within," to destabilise the country.

It seems that Bmw is preparing a new offensive on the sports car segment with the development of the new Z10. If we listen to the latest reports, it appears that the new mid-engine sports car will carry a 3.0-liter twin-turbo straight six engine capable to deliver around 450 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque.
According to our sources this engine will actually be an improved version of the one found on the current Bmw M3 and connected to an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
Regarding the technical part, the Z10 will adopt an aluminium and carbon-fiber structure, magnesium chassis pars and a new hybrid system with an integrated AC motor/generator and lithium-ion batteries.
An interesting system is the "thermal-management system improves efficiency by preheating lubricants with exhaust gas and by restricting internal airflow".
The aerodynamic part will be improved using various undercar spoilers and air deflectors that are actively controlled.
The new car will also offer more interior room, comparing it with the Porsche 911, for example while the weight will be around 3300 pounds. The new Bmw Z10 will make its debut before 2014 and will be priced in the $110,000 range.

If you've been on social media the past few days, you've probably seen an insane clip of footage where a great white shark bursts into a shark cage, breaches through the top, and then the rest of the crew on the ship belatedly realizes there is a diver in the cage.
There's a brief moment of panic in the pit of the viewer's stomach, when you may have asked yourself: "Oh God, is the diver OK?"
Now the diver has released new underwater footage moments before the harrowing ordeal.
The entire experience near Guadalupe Island in Mexico on was captured on camera as the shark, which closes its eyes when biting down on chunks of tuna, becomes disoriented and is unable to swim backward. It bursts through the metal cage.
A crew member, thinking quickly, opened the door on top of the cage, and the shark, a bit bloody, was able to escape.
Then everyone realizes the diver, Chan Ming, was still in the cage.
He told NBC4 he was not afraid -- because there was no time to be afraid.
Ming released the new footage, showing the shark circling around the cage prior to the breach. Unfortunately, his camera wasn't rolling when the shark breached the cage, but he is alive and well enough to tell the tale.

- Low restriction aluminum tube
- Easy to install, usually in 90 minutes or less
- Lasts up to 160,000km before service is required (depending on driving conditions)
- Replaces stock air intake system

The K&N 69-9502TB Air Intake fits some Volkswagen Golf IV, and Volkswagen Golf R32 models.
The K&N 69-9502TB Typhoon air intake system is a free-flowing, mandrel-bent aluminum tube air induction system designed to fit some Volkswagon Golf R32 and Golf IV models. The restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing are replaced by the K&N Typhoon air intake which is designed to dramatically reduce air flow restriction as it smoothes and straightens air flow. This allows your engine to inhale a larger amount of air than the factory air intake. More air means more usable power and acceleration throughout the engine's RPM range.
The 69-9502TB air intake comes with an ultra-lightweight carbon fiber topped K&N high-flow air filter and a heat shield that installs into the previous air box space. Air is directed through the intake tube into the engine's throttle body for a guaranteed power gain. The intake tube has an attractive blue powder-coat finish that's made to last and it accommodates the factory mass air sensor and crank case vent hose. The elongated tapered cylinder-shaped air filter can be used for up to 160,000km before servicing is needed depending on driving conditions. This air intake is relatively easy to install usually in 90 minutes or less using existing factory mounting points. The tools needed are a couple of screwdrivers, pliers, a ratchet set and a 10mm wrench.

Our History
A significant supplier of coal in Western Australia for almost a century.
Griffin Coal has almost a century's history as a key player in the Western Australian coal industry. Recognised as an energy supplier and employer of first choice, Griffin Coal's strong foundations have made the Company a prominent contributor to Western Australia's energy supply and a significant player in the coal industry.
Throughout its history, Griffin Coal has been based at the Collie Basin, in the south west of Western Australia. The Company's origins can be traced back to 1923, when a private syndicate was formed to develop coal leases to the south of Collie to supply coal to Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR). Four years later Griffin Coal was formed from this syndicate.
Establishing its prominence in the Western Australian coal industry, Griffin Coal was involved in coal supply for WAGR until being awarded a share in the supply of coal to a major Western Australian power station in 1960.
Griffin Coal has grown to become one of the largest coal suppliers in Western Australia producing over 3 million tonnes of coal annually.
A proactive supporter of the Collie community throughout its history, Griffin Coal is one of the largest employers in Collie and one of the largest economic contributors to the community. The Company operates mines in Collie 24 hours a day, 363 days per year.
1923 – Private syndicate formed to develop coal leases to the south of Collie to supply coal to Western Australian
Government Railways (WAGR).
1925 – The Western Australian Coal Mining Briquetting and By-Product Company Ltd was formed.
1927 – Two years later it changed its name to The Griffin Coal Mining Company Pty Ltd, supplying coal to ships,
railways and the WA goldfields.

1953 – Open cut mining work commences at Muja Mine.
1954 – Deep mining commences at Muja Mine to extract the Hebe Seam.
1960 – Griffin Coal wins major share of the coal supply to Muja Power Station, a new power station to be operated
by Western Australia's only electricity provider, Western Power (now Verve).
1965 – Deep mining ceases at Muja after water floods mine.
1966 – Griffin Coal makes its first international coal export of 3,000 tonnes of coal to Japan.

1996 – Mining commences at Ewington II mine.
2006 – Development of Ewington I mine.

text: So I am REALLY bad at figuring out calories and stuff. I usually just guesstimate what I think it should be- especially in fruits and veggies because there are no labels. While scouring the net for nutritional facts I found a website called calorieking.com. It tells you the calories in a serving, lets you customize the serving size, AND tells you how much you would have to exercise to burn those calories. Just thought it might be helpful for someone else!

Is it me or does it seem that everyone in Los Angeles lives, eats and sleeps entertainment and celebrities? It's a hobby here just as much as a career. Unfortunately for me, trying to find a hobby is pretty hard. When you have no clue what type of hobby you are looking for and following celebrities doesn't suit you, what do you do?
In my life I have done it all or at least tried it all. I've tried dance, color guard, playing the trombone, the piano, and the recorder obviously. I've tried running, kayaking, swimming and frequenting the gym. I've tried painting, sewing, and knitting. I've tried reading and writing, but more recently I have tried baking. I feel like I've tried it all.
Baking and decorating cakes and cupcakes is one of the hobbies that I am going to be continuing. There is something relaxing about baking the perfect cake. I think it has to do with my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Baking can be about measurements and recipes. Everything is spelled out for me. If I follow the instructions exactly I know my cake will turn out perfectly. If I decorate it slowly and with concentration I know it will be beautiful. It calms me down, which someone with OCD needs because I spend a lot of time with obsessive thoughts repeating in my head.
The issue with this hobby is that baking is expensive. You have to buy eggs, flower, cake flower, sugar, vanilla, and many other ingredients. I forgot, you also have to buy all the supplies like mixers and bowls. I'd give anything to just have one ingredient free to help cut the cost of this expensive but needed hobby. I haven't baked in over a month. Instead I am stuck with exercise and television.
Earlier tonight I was watching episodes of Chelsea Lately that I had on my DVR. The guest on the episode I was watching was Chelsea's dear friend, Jennifer Aniston's partner Justin Theroux. Chelsea is at her best when she knows her guest and today was no different.
The story they discussed that really caught my attention was when Justin explained how he and Jennifer have so many chickens they don't know what to do with all the eggs. Just to get rid of them they take them to people when they visit their homes. Everyone except Chelsea that is. She wouldn't use them.
Well, I have a solution for them. I know this contradicts what I said above, but I think Chelsea can invite me over to her place one day. Then Jennifer and Justin can come by and bring their eggs. We can all hang out. Then I can leave with their eggs and bake a fabulous cake.
That's not weird is it? It can be an egg party. I'm just saying Justin, let me help you out with your egg problem… it has nothing to do with my being a fan of Chelsea, Jennifer and you!

French firm Solar Euromed is to build a pilot solar energy station and laboratory in southern Jordan.
Jordan's Higher Council for Science and Technology's National Center for Research and Development signed an agreement Sunday with Euromed to construct the facility in the Shoubak district.
The European Union, through its European Renewable Energy Aid Program for Jordan, is providing $5.8 million funding for the 510-kilowatt project.
NCRD president Khaled Shraideh, who signed the agreement with Solar Euromed Board Chairman Mark Bin Jamil, said NCRD is a research facility working on renewable energy technology and provides the Jordanian government with feasibility studies on renewable energy systems, ammonnews.net reported.
Shraideh added that the Shoubak solar research and development center will provide training for local and regional personnel on solar energy operations to boost production of generated electricity.
The Jordanian Royal Scientific Society is collaborating in the project and will administer the station after its construction and offer specialized courses for local and regional staff members.

Have a mentioned before how talented my husband is? He is pretty stinkin' awesome. Little did I know when we got married I was marrying a craftsman. Tall Tan Man made this coffee table because mine was a little too frilly for him. Here is the before picture:
We found the plans for the coffee table on Ana White website {here}. I still want to add metal brackets on corners, but I have not found ones that work yet. We got these screws at the Home Depot and spray painted them with Oil Rubbed Bronze.
Tall Tan Man stained the table with Minwax Weathered Oak {2 coats}.
I am still looking for a metal or wire tray to go on top. It needs to be really big because this coffee table is far from small. For the time being we have our wedding books we ordered from My Publisher. I got a groupon for them and I am so happy how they turned out!
Hope y'all have a great week! :)

Now that the Oscars are over and another award season has officially come and gone, it's time to take stock. The EGOT — an acronym for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony — is Hollywood's grand slam of awards, and only a handful of celebrities (like Audrey Hepburn, Whoopi Goldberg, and Mel Brooks) have made the list. This year, Viola Davis snagged a best actress win, meaning she's only a Grammy away from achieving record status. Veteran actress Jessica Lange also only needs a Grammy, while stars like Taylor Swift, Adele, and Sam Smith are halfway there. Wondering who else is making progress?
