Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 License Renewals
Hamilton County, Tennessee
The operating licenses for Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN) will expire in 2020 (Unit 1) and 2021 (Unit 2) if the licenses are not renewed.TVA has decided to submit a license renewal application to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to extend the operating licenses of the two units for an additional 20 years. Continued operation of SQN would help TVA respond to identified needs for power generation within the TVA power service area.
In June 2011, TVA issued a final supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) that addresses the impacts of renewing SQN operating licenses. The SEIS supplements the original Final Environmental Statement, Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 that TVA prepared in 1974 to evaluate the impacts of constructing and operating SQN. The 1974 final environmental statement and other related documents are available below under Key Related Documents.
On August 18, 2011, the TVA Board of Directors decided to proceed with an application to the NRC to extend the operation of SQN Units 1 and 2, implementing the Preferred Alternative (Alternative 1 – SQN Units 1 and 2 License Renewal – Action Alternative) identified in the final SEIS.
TVA has prepared a record of decision (PDF, 148 kb).
The license renewal process requires both a technical review of safety issues and an environmental review. The technical review must demonstrate that the passive and long-lived systems, structures, and components will be adequately managed during the plant's extended operation. To comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), environmental reviews will be performed both by TVA and by the NRC, which will examine the impacts of issuing renewed licenses. In addition to the SEIS, TVA will develop an environmental report based upon NRC requirements to support the NRC's NEPA review.

Should our present day healing also consist of ancient healing practices?
I used to have OCD, Depression, built up anger,.... I went to a spiritual healer who channels one of the hindu angels, and the angel was able to heal me of all the above listed mental problems. My question now is that should we change modern day healing to incorporate ancient healing methods too. I find that today's healing is more about earning money, its more of a scam.
Feb 3 2013: In general Yes! would homoeopathy fall under this umbrella as well?
My opinion is that in the olden days, believing in a spiritual world was normal. Now science seems to be obliterating that because it cannot detect or measure anything spiritual, so it is not there.
Just as our mind influences our body through the brain, it in turn is strongly influenced by the spiritual world we live in.
Very glad about your experience and how it helped. Sometimes people have a NDE and that may be the best thing that ever happened to them, and changed their life, sometimes.
This is a book about that spiritual world http://webhome.idirect.com/~abraam/documents/TheSpiritualWorld.pdf
See what you think
It seems very much the case that healing is very much about money, that's why I call it the Medical Industry. But it is not limited to that at all. People in general seem to only have a job to make money, not to be useful and make a difference.
One of Swedenborg's most famous quotes is
"Man is born not for the sake of himself, but for the sake of others."
Lejan .
Jan 31 2013: How would you think about this Hindu angels if 'they' would not have helped you? Or 'they' helped you, yet failed on others? In other words, how do we evaluate the efficiency of any healing method? Conventional, or unconventional - ancient or modern? How do we know which method suits whom best on certain conditions? Nowadays and in conventional medicine, I find patients in separation of their 'whole' and only treated by their symptoms instead of searching the true cause of an illness. In alternative medicine there is a more personalized approach in healing, yet it seems to me, without much of statistical data analysis of its outcome and results. And the method you described seems to be out of any analytical consideration and is quite 'spiritual' and 'transcendent'. For some reason each 'discipline' separates itself from the others, or gets separated by them, but has it to be that way? Isn't the patient the measure of all medicine and his 'felt' or even 'measurable' condition after a treatment? The fact that placebos can have results is proof by itself, that we still have no clue about the connectedness of our physical end mental existence and how and by what it can be influenced and why... So if all disciplines would just reflect again and work together to finally get a better understanding of ourself as a 'whole', we would probably do better in general.
- +1
Jan 31 2013: We evaluate it based on the change in the patients behavior as you said.
The rest of the questions you asked for such as how do we know who needs what and how much..., all of that was used and developed in the past when the alternative systems were in place. Now about us trying to retrace the past back may or may not be possible, but what can be done is that the current R&D teams can work and figure things out so that we have a whole variety to seek treatment from.Jan 29 2013: You found the option I doubt it will go away.Jan 28 2013: I would guess that modern healing methods draw on the past and incorporate, after all medicine didn't just appear out of a vacuum, today's medicine builds on the past.
Jan 28 2013: Yes Greg, today's system must have evolved from the past, the only problem is that today's system has gone so scientific that they have put aside all other forms of healing. I got healed of OCD, Depression, built up anger... for free. To see a therapist it would cost me at least C$80 per session and it would definitely take more than 5 sessions to heal, so that would mean 80X5=C$400+taxes, if it were even more serious, it would cost me more. All I am saying is that we have corrupted the current system whereby we are charged for, when we should not be paying at all.

Kunal Shah
Jan 29 2013: Not only that, but I was proposing that our schools too should have a similar system whereby they don't only have to give students access to a psychiatrist, but also a healer. I did forget to add that for my problems to end it took only 10 minutes. Yet when I used to go to a therapist I would talk for almost an hour and nothing would happen.

The ancient ways of healing are cost and time effective. The Angels also do culture us well, I did ask is there a cure for aids, cancer... I was told yes there is. (I did not ask any further as I did not have either of the problems).
greg dahlen
Jan 29 2013: I don't know, Kunal, any system that seems like it might help does get a look from science. For instance, acupuncture and chiropractic used to be distrusted, but now I think there is more acceptance.
- +1
Actually, many psychologists are quite happy to see their patients get involved in religion, believe it is good for them.Jan 28 2013: I agree with Matthew and Kate that this is happening. I know the medical group to which I belong (a large, well-established one) has as part of its information base for members links to traditional healing approaches as well as those standard in Western medicine.Jan 28 2013: G'day Kunal
Most definitely & it's happening, I know of a bloke who's created his own technique which is similar to the bowen technique, it's that good some surgeons send their patients to him before & after operations.
Love Mathew

Recipe by SUSE
"Sweet chewy macaroons with a chocolate topping."

1 cup
flaked coconut
1/2 cup
white sugar
1 tablespoon
egg, beaten
1 pinch
2 (1 ounce) squares
semisweet chocolate, melted
I found these sweets quick and easy to make. They would add an old fashioned touch of elegance to any tray of goodies.
I used parchment to line my cookie sheet, and had no trouble with sticking, but I slightly under-baked the first sheet and they ended up too soft. Just make sure the edges are golden and they should be fine. Also, they spread our alot! I thought I was making pretty small drops, until they came out! They were about four times larger in diameter! All in all, very, very good!
I tried the 1st batch as directed-and I ended up with cookies that had spread over the whole pan. The 2nd batch, I omitted the cornstarch, replaced 1/4 c of sugar with icing sugar (confectioners) and added 2tbsp of flour. Beautiful!
39 Ratings
I made a double batch of these. I did drizzle them with chocolate. It adds a really snazzy touch to them. My first batch I followed the directions. I found that greasing and starching the cookie sheet DID NOT work. They were difficult to remove and frustrating. The second batch I used parchment paper which worked wonderfully. Whoever invented parchment paper deserves a scratch and sniff sticker!
Like most others, I got coconut patties. Not sure where I went wrong, I followed the recipe.. I beat the bejesus out of the egg whites, and as soon as I added sugar (even the first spoonful) it went flat. Anyone who claims they didn't get a unicookie is simply lying. I whipped the eggs until they peaked like Mt. Everest, and then the sugar flattened them out like Kansas. This recipe is a good way to lower your self esteem.
Excellent! I flollowed the advice of others and replaced the cornstarch with 1/4 cup flour. They were cripsy on the outside and soft in the center. I would recomend doubling the batch because one is not nearly enough:) I made half of them with chocolate chips and coco. Mmmmm chocolate:)
We loved these cookies! 'Perfection'.
I didn't have any trouble at all getting them off the cookie sheet like others have reported, I used just baking spray. I mixed in 1/4 C. flour instead of the small amount of cornstarch. I also did not use any chocolate, but they were great anyway!
I think there's something wrong with this recipe... mine turned out runny, flat, and really weird. I added a photo of how they turned out.
I thought these were super easy to make and tasted great. They are very sweet, but that is how i like cookies. I made a double recipe using half splenda and half sugar. My cookies did not stick to the pans, i guess that has happened to other reviewers. I did grease the pans and coat with cornstarch and they came right off with a spatula.

I once remember reading (15 years ago) that dinosaurs had two brains. One for their head and another one for their digestive functions. What is the current opinion on this theory? Has more evidence become available?

It would appear that at one time it was thought that a 'gap' in the skeleton of a Stegosaurus was a space for another brain. This is now thought to be a storage space for extra food.

I saw that some big dinosaurs got a second neuron group near their back legs to overcome some nerves signal delay problems. Not sure about that.

skinless, boneless chicken breasts
cooking spray
1 clove
garlic, minced
1 pinch
1 pinch
ground black pepper
1 pinch
ground cumin
1 cup
1 cup
shredded Cheddar cheese
So, when I read the other reviews, I thought that I might be able to make it less bland and cut back on the salt. I made a batch of the Taco Seasoning 1 (cut back a little on the chili seasoning and salt) from this site and wisked it together with a tablespoon of brown sugar. I rubbed that into the de-skinned chicken thighs and poured that over the chicken and let it "marinate".
I cooked it like that and didn't add the cheese until the last ten minutes of the cooking, to prevent it from burning.
This was tasty. I paired it with the Mexican Sour Cream Rice from this site.
I made this for dinner tonight. Although the flavor was good and the chicken was moist inside, I didn't care for the texture of the outside of the skinless chicken breasts. Under the salsa and cheese the outside of the breasts were too dry. If I make this again, I don't think I'll brown the breasts first or if I do, I'll bread them. In my opinion I think this would be better if the breasts baked with the salsa in a 400 degree oven and then add the cheese about 10 mins before they're done cooking. Skip the browning all together.

Five stars for a "quick and easy" dish. I'd say there's a big payoff with this recipe for something that's so simple to throw together! Browning the chicken in a skillet before finishing in the oven provides a lot of flavor and is a step, I believe, that should not be omitted. I seasoned it liberally with salt, pepper, garlic powder and cumin - MUCH more than the "pinch" called for, and browned it in butter. The result after browning looked like blackened chicken. The rest of the preparation was a snap - spoon on a good salsa, top with shredded Cheddar and minutes later the dish is ready to serve. Since the chicken is pretty much cooked before it goes into the oven, care should be taken not to overcook it. Hubs and I really enjoyed this, served with Best Black Beans and Spanish Rice with Bacon, recipes also from this site.
Quick, easy and great! I didn't bother browning the chicken before baking, just used thawed tenders and sprinkled them with cumin, pepper and minced garlic before adding the salsa and cheese. I baked for about 35-40 minutes and it came out perfect! Nice recipe with common ingredients. I recommend giving this a try.
Yum - this was so good. I cut my chicken in strips and put in bowl and mixed together 2 cloves of garlic, salt, pepper and Pampered Chef's Southwestern Seasoning. I then seared the chicken in a small bit of vegetable oil. I put in lightly greased dish and put chunky salsa and shredded Cheddar and baked. Made Spanish Rice on the side - served with sour cream. This was so yummy. Thank you Karen!
Simple, quick, and delicious! I had my doubts with so few ingredients, but it was worth the try. I needed something easy for a late night supper for me and my husband. I used two chicken breasts and there's no need to brown the chicken first. I just sprinkled both sides with garlic powder, salt, cracked black pepper, cumin and a little chili powder. I used a thick and chunky salsa and poured all 16 oz. into an 8x8 baking dish at 350 for 45 minutes. The last 5 minutes I grated pepper jack cheese over top. To make the presentation a little better I chopped some green onion and sliced black olives on top and served with sour cream and a side of spanish rice. This had to be the easiest meal I've ever made off of this site!
This recipe is wonderful - I've made it a few times now and we always enjoy it. I use a salsa that has beans and corn in it and the same quantities of salsa and cheese as the recipe calls for, but 6 chicken breasts.. it still has plenty of sauce :) Also very good reheated.
This is truly quick, easy and very good. I used thick sliced pepper jack cheese instead of the shredded cheddar and it worked out very well. I served it with spanish rice and sliced avacado. I use a similar recipe to make chicken parmesan. Use maranara sauce in place of the salsa and mozzarella cheese for the cheddar and top with parmesan. Also quick, easy and very tasty. It is great with pasta.

Animal shelter has feral felines waiting for a barn
BEDFORD - Several feral cats are ready for adoption at the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire.
These outdoor cats are usually descendants of domestic cats. They can be effective hunters of small animals, especially unwanted barn mice. The shelter says the cats are adaptable and resilient and will thrive in an outdoor structure such as barn, garage, or workshop.
They have been spayed or neutered, have all their vaccinations and most have been microchipped and/or ear-tipped. They also have tested negative for feline aids and leukemia.
Besides shelter, adopters are asked to provide one to two small bowls of food daily and water. The shelter says little to no human interaction is necessary for the cats to live a good life.
Maureen Prendergast, director of Outreach & Investigations at the ARLNH, was in charge of processing these cats. "When we have feral cats at the shelter, we need to find homes for them as soon as possible," she said. "Generally, a feral cat's stay here at the shelter can be a stressful one. We work to get them placed in barn homes as quickly as possible."
Anyone interested should call Prendergast directly at 471-0888.

ETSU knocks off UNC Greensboro and UNC Asheville on final day of Buccaneer Classic
Requires Adobe Flash
Saturday, September 11, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 11, 2010) -
ETSU freshman
Megan Devine
(Kingsport, Tenn.) finished with a game-high 14 kills and led the Bucs to a 3-1 (21-25, 26-24, 25-17, 25-18) victory over UNC Greensboro on the second day of the Buccaneer Classic presented by Holiday Inn, at Brooks Gym on Saturday afternoon.
"I thought that was a great win because UNC Greensboro is a very athletic and talented team," said ETSU head coach
Lindsey Devine.
"When our team blocks well it becomes a huge momentum boost for us."
Devine also added nine digs, two aces and four block assists.
Alysa Long
(Romulus, Mich.) came in with 12 kills (.391) and five block assists.
Jamie Stancliff
(Advance, N.C.) and
Erin Ryan
(Davie, Fla.) combined for 21 kills during the match. Stancliff added five block assists. Ryan finished with a double-double as she also recorded 13 digs to go with her 10 kills.
Whitney Cogburn
(Kingsport, Tenn.) quarterbacked the offense with 49 assists, eight kills, and four digs.
Kiley Tamblyn
(Torrance, Calif.) led the ETSU defensive efforts with a game-high 24 digs.
UNC Greensboro got off to a quick start by taking the opening set 25-21. The Bucs came back and earned a tough 26-24 victory in the second set.
In the third set, ETSU jumped out to an early advantage and never looked back as they controlled the set throughout for a 25-17 victory. The fourth set was much of the same but both teams traded blows early. ETSU then got out to a lead that they would retain throughout to close out the match.
The Bucs outhit the Spartans .243-.163 while also finishing with a significant 12.0-6.0 advantage in the blocks department.
ETSU 3, UNC Asheville 1
In the second match of the day, ETSU got out to a commanding advantage over UNC Asheville in the opening set. Again, the Bucs never looked back as they rolled 25-14 in the set.
The second set was a much different story as UNC Asheville played a solid set to defeat the Bucs 25-22.
With both teams tied at a set apiece, it looked as if UNC Asheville was going to win their second straight set. However, with UNCA in front 20-17, the Bucs got a big kill from
Lauren Baufield
(Plymouth, Minn.) to cut the lead. Then, with the Bulldogs in front 22-20, ETSU got two kills from Devine to take the lead at 23-22. Devine would also close out the set for the Bucs as she recorded two kills in a row to take the set victory.
The Bucs closed out the match in the fourth set after winning a back-and-forth frame. ETSU finished with a .222-.000 advantage during the set. Devine also provided five kills in the set.
ETSU finished the match with a season-high 19 team blocks. They finished with a 19-7 advantage in blocks on the night.
"We keep talking about the steep hill we are climbing and they came back in this match as they really stayed composed," added Devine. "It was a demonstration of being mentally tough and it is something that we have battled back and forth with but I saw a good step in the right direction tonight"
Devine finished on the all-tournament team for the Bucs as they completed the tournament with a 2-1 mark.
ETSU is now 6-4 on the season after the two victories, while UNC Asheville falls to 4-6. UNC Greensboro is now 8-3 on the season after dropping the match to the Bucs then later against Austin Peay. Austin Peay finished the event with a perfect 3-0 record and are now an impressive 9-1 on the season.
"I thought it was a great weekend with everyone involved with putting this event together, it was the behind the scenes efforts that made everything flow so well."
The Bucs return to action next weekend as they will travel to Statesboro, Ga. for the Springhill Suites Invitational at Georgia Southern. ETSU will take on Charleston Southern, South Alabama, Georgia Southern and Winthrop.

Heparin-PF4 Antibody (HIT), Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Thrombocytopenia in patients treated with heparin is relatively common and has diverse, sometimes multifactorial, causes. Among the possible causes of thrombocytopenia in such patients, immune-mediated heparin-dependent thrombocytopenia (HIT) is clinically important because of its frequency and its associated risk of paradoxical new or progressive thrombosis.
HIT, also called heparin-associated thrombocytopenia (HAT), consists of 2 distinct clinicopathologic syndromes. The first, sometimes designated type I HIT (HIT-I) or nonimmune HAT, is a common benign condition that is not immunologically mediated. Type I HIT is characterized by a mild decrease of the platelet count (typically < or =30% decrease from baseline) occurring early (days) in the course of treatment with heparin, especially intravenous unfractionated heparin (UFH), and which does not progress and may resolve despite continuation of heparin therapy.
The second, more serious immune-mediated syndrome, sometimes designated type II heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT-II), occurs in up to 1% to 5% of patients treated with UFH. It is typically characterized by onset of thrombocytopenia between days 5 and 10 of UFH therapy, but thrombocytopenia can arise earlier or later in association with continued heparin exposure. In patients recently exposed to heparin (eg, within the preceding 3-6 months), onset of thrombocytopenia can be rapid (within 24 hours) after heparin reexposure, probably reflecting persistence of heparin-dependent antiplatelet antibodies or anamnestic recall of them. Typically, during the course of HIT-II, the platelet count decreases by at least 40% to 50% from baseline or the postoperative peak (in surgical patients), even though the absolute count may remain normal, and thrombocytopenia resolves within 7 to 14 days of cessation of heparin therapy (unless there is another coexisting cause of thrombocytopenia). The risk of immune-mediated HIT-II is significantly greater with UFH exposure than with exposure to low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), although the latter can react with heparin-dependent antibodies induced by UFH. The risk is probably also associated with the dosage and route of heparin administration (eg, intravenous), as well as associated medical and surgical conditions.
HIT-II is clinically important, not because of the mild or moderate thrombocytopenia and minimal bleeding risk, but because of the high risk for development of paradoxical thrombosis (arterial or venous) that may be new or progressive. This evolution, termed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia with thrombosis (HITT) syndrome, can occur in up to 30% to 50% of patients with HIT-II, even following discontinuation of heparin therapy. Clinically, it is often difficult to distinguish between HIT-I and HIT-II and among other etiologies of thrombocytopenia occurring in patients receiving heparin. However, the development of new or progressive thrombosis is one defining clinical feature of HIT-II.
Recent studies provide evidence that HIT-II is caused, in at least 90% of cases, by antibodies to antigen complexes of heparinoid (heparin or similar glycosaminoglycans) and platelet factor 4 (PF4). PF4 is a platelet-specific heparin-binding (neutralizing) protein that is abundant in platelet alpha granules from which it is secreted following platelet stimulation. A reservoir of PF4 normally accumulates upon vascular endothelium. Following heparin administration, immunogenic complexes of PF4 and heparin can provide an antigenic stimulus for antibody development in some patients. Antibodies bound to platelets that display complexes of PF4/heparin antigen can activate platelets via interaction of the Fc immunoglobulin tail of the IgG antibody with platelet Fc gamma IIA receptors, leading to perpetuation of the pathologic process that can cause platelet-rich thrombi in the microcirculation in some cases (eg, HITT syndrome).
Functional assays for HIT-II antibody detection rely on antibody-mediated heparin-dependent platelet activation, as detected by platelet aggregation, or platelet secretion of serotonin or adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or other substances, using patient serum or plasma supplemented with heparin and normal test platelets from carefully selected donors. The sensitivity of functional assays for HIT-II ranges from 50% to 60% for heparin-dependent platelet aggregation (HDPA) assays, to 70% to 80% for serotonin release assays. The specificity of positive functional tests for HIT diagnosis is believed to be high (> or =90%). However, because of their complexity, functional tests for detecting HIT antibodies are not widely available.
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) have recently been developed to detect HIT-II antibodies and are based on the detection of human antibodies that react with solid phase antigen complexes of heparinoid and human PF4 (H/PF4 complexes). The ELISA for H/PF4 antibodies is very sensitive for antibody detection, but relatively nonspecific for clinical HIT diagnosis.
Routine screening of all patients prior to, during, or following heparin use is currently not recommended. A positive H/PF4 ELISA result has relatively low and uncertain predictive value for the development of clinical HIT-II.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluation of possible immune-mediated type II heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT-II) which should be suspected for the following patients:
-Patients not previously exposed to heparin, the development of absolute thrombocytopenia or decrease in platelet count of > or =50% from baseline or postoperative peak with the onset of thrombocytopenia beginning approximately 5 to 10 days after initiation of heparin. This may or may not be associated with new or progressive thrombosis in patients treated with heparin.
-Patients previously exposed to heparin (especially within the preceding 100 days), in addition to the above findings, the onset of thrombocytopenia could occur within 24 to 48 hours after reexposure to heparin.
In patients with prior suspected or documented heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), with or without thrombosis, assay for presence of human platelet factor 4 (H/PF4) antibody may be useful in assessment of the risk of recurrence of HIT with additional exposure to heparin, however, prospective data are limited.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Results are reported as: 1) Reactivity (%); 2) Heparin inhibition (%); 3) Interpretation. Typical patterns of results and interpretations are depicted in the following table. Interpretive comments will also accompany test reports, when indicated.
Normal Range
Not done
< or =50
< or =50
A negative result of testing for human platelet factor 4 (H/PF4) antibodies has about a 90% negative predictive value for exclusion of clinical type II heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT-II).
Because up to 10% of patients with clinical heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) may have a negative H/PF4 antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) result, a negative H/PF4 antibody ELISA result does not exclude the diagnosis of HIT when clinical suspicion remains high. A functional assay for HIT antibodies (eg, heparin-dependent platelet aggregation or serotonin release assay may be helpful in these circumstances). Contact Mayo Medical Laboratories for ordering information.
A positive result is indicative of the presence of H/PF4 complex antibodies. However, this test's specificity is as low as 20% to 50% for clinical diagnosis of HIT, depending on the patient population studied. For example, up to 50% of surgical patients and up to 20% of medical patients treated with heparin may develop H/PF4 antibodies as measured by ELISA, and only a small proportion (1%-5%) develop clinical HIT. Accordingly, this test does not confirm the diagnosis of HIT-II. The diagnosis must be made in conjunction with clinical findings, including evaluation for other potential causes of thrombocytopenia.
The presence of H/PF4 antibodies likely increases the risk of clinical HIT, with risk probably partly dependent on associated medical and surgical conditions, but currently there are few data about relative risk of HIT in various populations with positive tests for H/PF4 antibodies.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a clinical diagnosis that is complemented by laboratory testing for heparin-dependent platelet aggregation (HDPA) antibodies and/or antibodies to human platelet factor 4 (H/PF4) complexes. Assay results provide information on the presence or absence of H/PF4 antibodies which are implicated in the pathogenesis of type II heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT-II) with or without thrombosis. However, results of the H/PF4 antibody assay must be interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings and other pertinent tests to evaluate other causes of thrombocytopenia (eg, sepsis, intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, post-transfusion purpura, malignancy, drug-induced thrombocytopenia, autoimmune thrombocytopenia) or to confirm the findings of this assay.
Some low-titer, low-avidity antibodies and some antibodies that recognize sites on H/PF4 complex may not be detected using this assay.
Some patients may have naturally occurring antibodies to PF4 (no evidence of heparin dependence) of no known significance with respect to pathogenesis of HIT-II.

A review of the Youth Justice System in Northern Ireland
from the report by the Department of Justice Northern Ireland:
One of the most positive developments to have arisen out of Northern Ireland's recent history is the expansion of rich and varied restorative practices. Restorative approaches have been used to respond to offending and anti-social behaviour, family disputes, disruptive behaviour in schools and children's homes and in helping prisoners reintegrate back into their communities. Early teething problems have been largely overcome and professional practice in restorative justice in Northern Ireland is now internationally recognised.

Hey idiots, playing New England IN New England is far different and way the **** harder then playing them in sunny Miami. Totally different, so you can't compare. Get real. Miami will get torched in Week #17 even if the game is meaningless. C'mon man. Nobody wins in New England in the 2nd half.
I will agree that Tim Dobbins is the most overrated player in the NFL this year, and JJ Watt is clearly a roid head who hasn't been caught yet. Can he pump any more roids into his body or what? **** the Texans. Pretenders.
Brady missed a WR in stride down-field. Brada-Henne!!!! No Accuracy.
Next will be hearing Brandon Marshall is a 50 point swing.
Side note: Andre Johnson has definitely lost a step!

Lady Bucs volleyball holds annual media day
Tuesday, August 17, 2004JOHNSON CITY, TENN. (August 17, 2004) - With preseason underway for the 2004 Buccaneer volleyball squad the team's annual media day was held today in Brooks Gymnasium. With press from around the Tri-Cities area present, Head Coach Lindsey Devine and senior Karen Freeburg (New Castle, Ind.) answered questions and gave insight for expectations of the upcoming season. The team will face tough early season competition when they travel to three out-of-state tournaments facing teams such as Purdue University, North Carolina State University, University of Kentucky and Auburn University. ETSU will welcome Southern Conference rivals Appalachian State, UT-Chattanooga, Elon and UNC Greensboro to Brooks Gym in the latter part of the 2004 season while striving for another trip to the Southern Conference Championship Tournament in mid-November to be held at UT-Chattanooga. Devine has high expectations for the year, as the Lady Bucs return six from the 2003 squad including Freeburg who led the team with 319 digs while posting 244 kills for the year. "Throughout our 2004 schedule we will face quality competition who will force our team to play at our highest level. Hard work and preparation will continue to be a priority for our 2004 squad all the way through the conference tournament in November," Devine said. When asked about her final season at ETSU, Freeburg had to say, "I'm proud and honored to be part of a program that I've seen grow over my four years in a Lady Bucs uniform. Our incoming talent and our returning players will make for an exciting 2004 season." ETSU will host Appalachian State in the 2004 home opener on Sep. 24, with the match set for a 7:00 p.m. start time. Keep up with early season action by checking for scores and match recaps on www.ETSUBucs.com.

Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg endured mixed fortunes in China and Mercedes are determined not to repeat their mistakes in Bahrain...
Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg endured mixed fortunes in China and Mercedes are determined not to repeat their mistakes in Bahrain this weekend.
While Hamilton claimed his maiden pole for the Brackley squad and went on to finish third in Shanghai, Rosberg qualified P4 before finishing empty handed after suffering his second retirement of the season.
Team principal Ross Brawn admits they have done a lot better than they initially expected, but says they have to improve if they want to keep up in the race for the Championship.
"The performances so far have been pleasing and perhaps even beyond our pre-season expectations however there is work to be done," he said. "We have two main areas to focus on; we must improve the reliability and we have to lift our performance to find that extra couple of tenths to our fastest competitors. And of course, that's a moving target to make the challenge even tougher.
"A strong two car finish will be our target this weekend, and we want to see both Nico and Lewis in a position to score not only points but podiums regularly. We've had a taste of success already this season and the slight feeling of disappointment with third place in China is our motivation."
It has been a frustrating season so far for Rosberg as a P4 finish in Malaysia was sandwiched by two retirements.
"The first three races haven't quite worked out as we had hoped on my side but the positive is that we have a car that we can really work with," he said.
"So I'm looking forward to getting on with this weekend and the circuit at Sakhir is one that I like very much. It's going to be very tough on the rear tyres and our biggest challenge will be to make the most out of the situation. We're better prepared than we were last year and we have shown that the car is much stronger so I really hope that we can achieve a great result in Bahrain."
Hamilton, meanwhile, is just 12 points behind Championship leader Sebastian Vettel in the standings after two podiums, but he is determined to look for that extra pace at Sakhir.
"With each race, I am becoming more settled in the team and more comfortable in my car, and we were very happy with the pole and podium finish," he said.
"There are some areas where we need to improve to close that gap to the fastest cars and we're working hard to identify and develop those. There's a limit to what we can do before Bahrain but I'll be talking to my engineers before we arrive at the circuit and seeing where we can improve in the short term."

I'm a Virginia author of historical and Light paranormal romance. I also write creative non-fiction about gardening, herbal lore, and country life. The beauty of the Shenandoah Valley and surrounding mountains are my inspiration, as is Virginia's rich history. I'm passionate about the past, and those who have gone before us.
Married to my high school sweetheart, I live on a farm in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia surrounded by my children, grandbabies, and assorted animals. An avid gardener, my love of herbs and heirloom plants figures into my work. The rich history of Virginia, the Native Americans and the people who journeyed here from far beyond her borders are at the heart of my inspiration. In addition to American settings, I also write historical and time travel romances set in the British Isles.
My fascination with Colonial America, particularly stirring tales of the frontier and the Shawnee Indians, is an early and abiding one. My English, Scot-Irish ancestors had interactions with this tribe, including family members taken captive. In Red Bird's Song, I honed in on my early American roots in a story featuring the Scots-Irish and an Indian attack that happened to my ancestors. Intrigued with all things Celtic, much of my writing features these early Scot-Irish forebears who settled in the Shenandoah Valley and surrounding mountains. This absorption with Colonial America also extends to the high drama of the Revolution and ancestors who fought on both sides of that sweeping conflict as depicted in Enemy of the King.
Moreover, I'm intrigued by ghost stories, and Virginia has more tales than any other state. I find myself asking if the folk who've gone before us are truly gone, or do some still have unfinished business in this realm? And what of the young lovers whose time was tragically cut short, do they somehow find a way? Love conquers all, so I answer 'yes.' Equally fascinated with time travel, I write romance with forays into the past in my 'Somewhere in Time' series. In Somewhere My Lass, I journeyed back to 1602 Scotland and more deeply explored my Scottish roots.
Recently I branched out beyond historical and light paranormal romance with a nonfiction book about country life entitled Shenandoah Watercolors, available at Amazon in kindle and print with lovely photographs.

Heinrich Christian Wilhelm Busch, born on 15 April 1832, was one of the most influential satirical poets and caricaturists that Germany has ever known. His most famous work is Max and Moritz – A Story of Seven Boyish Pranks, which was first published in April 1865. The Wilhelm Busch Mill in Ebergötzen near Göttingen, the setting for Max and Moritz's mischievous antics, has been a memorial, museum and farm garden since 1977.

Immigrants and second-generation students who are children of immigrants confront a number of unique academic challenges, including limited proficiency in the host-country language and greater barriers in preparing for college and careers. Research here focuses on student educational attainment and in particular on English Language Learners (ELLs), who have persistent and wide achievement gaps with native English speakers. Adolescent ELLs face a greater workload, learning English at the same time they are studying core content areas in English—with resulting challenges in passing tests and completing graduation requirements.
Texas has the second-largest number of English Language Learner (ELL) students in the nation. Using a unique longitudinal data set that tracks ELL and non-ELL students in Texas from first grade through high school, this report examines the trajectories and performance of individual groups.
In this video, Michael Fix and Margie McHugh examine key indicators of ELL students' performance on standardized tests, among other topics.
In this video, Michael Fix and Margie McHugh discuss the distribution of English Language Learners across the country, their growth in enrollment, and more.
This fact sheet, based on analysis of the U.S. Census Bureau's 2009 American Community Survey, documents the top languages spoken by English Language Learners (ELLs) nationwide and on a state level.
Over 5.3 million U.S. students during the 2007-08 academic year were enrolled in English Language Learner (ELL) programs. This fact sheet examines the states and districts with the highest number and share of ELL students and offers a detailed breakdown of key statistics.
This fact sheet examines the number and growth of students in U.S. schools in need of English instruction.
Slightly more than 2.1 million unauthorized immigrant youth and young adults could be eligible to apply for legal status under the 2010 DREAM Act, though historical trends indicate that perhaps fewer than 40 percent would obtain legal status because of a variety of limitations. This policy brief offers detailed estimates of potential DREAM Act beneficiaries.
This report examines existing collaborative teacher exchange programs some U.S. states and districts have established with Mexico and Spain, and identifies such programs as a relatively unexplored, yet promising strategy for alleviating endemic teacher shortages and meeting the needs of LEP students.

Is it possible to move full screen apps in Mission Control to be at the beginning, (before space #1)?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Ask Different is a question and answer site for power users of Apple hardware and software. It's 100% free, no registration required.
No, you can't. The only way to achieve some kind of manual ordering is disabling the "Automatically rearrange" option in the Mission Control prefpane, and switching all your apps to fullscreen in the correct order from left to right (new spaces get added to the right).
That said, you won't be able to move anything left of the first desktop space.
I think the sequence depends on how frequent you use the Desktop and the full app.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Views: 292
Thanks, Dave, for your prompt responses! I can tell you are extremely intent on getting the app working for everyone! If I had a request for some course creations, I would give you this list (in order of importance)...
1.Jefferson Barracks Park (1 set of tees, 4 pins/hole)
2.Endicott Park (1 set of tees, 4 pins/hole)
3.Sioux Passage Park (same)
4.Creve Coeur Lake Park (same)
5.White Birch Park (Pro Tee/Am Tee, 1 pin/hole)
There are also a bunch of other courses around the St. Louis area that would be cool to see in the future, but I would LOVE to see these courses added first and foremost (as would most other STL golfers).
Thanks for all of your help!
Kory, thanks for your interest. In a past job, I was a mobile computing researcher, so WP7 is definitely on my radar... especially with the Nokia partnership. The reality of the matter is that the platform needs a stronger user base to attract third party developers with limited resources. Only time will tell on that, but it's good to know that at least one person wants WP7 support.
As an aside, if Microsoft ever implements a webkit-based web browser (like iOS, Android, and newer BB devices), you'll be able to use a mobile web app version of Discasaurus when we launch it (probably after Android, but we'll see how the demand shifts).
I am one of the developers, and I hope you all can bear with the Discasaurus team as we try to get everyone set up. There is a discrepancy between the app course directory vs. the one on our site because the version in the app store now can only update Michigan and California using data from our site. The version that is pending in the app store offers ALL the States (international is on the way) in a picker within the course directory update screen. If you check out the review at Dogleg Disc Golf, you'll see the latest version that should hit the Apple App store soon (this week we hope).
FYI, the Discasaurus team gets a note when Apple approves our latest version, so I'll post here as soon as that happens. Apologies for the strange release schedule. Apple controls the distribution, so we're kind of at their mercy. At least we already have it out in the app store so the chances of rejection are very small.
Dave can you add courses to the MI and CA databases and make them available now?
If so, could you "create" a course called "000 disc golf," or anything that starts with zero to get it to the top of the list, and give it 18 par 3 holes? That way we could go ahead and use your app without it being uploaded to an actual course's scores.
That's a great idea. However, it would necessitate some score-to-course reconciliation later on (trades one problem for another). Just between you, me, and the entire Internet, the status of our App Store submission went to "In Review" yesterday. Experience with previous submissions suggest that it will be approved or rejected in the next 24-48 hours.
I hope it's clear that getting a usable app in your hands is top priority for the Discasaurus team right now. With just a bit more patience we can start you off right on Discasaurus v0.17, and avoid any weirdness in the score history/course directory.
The newest version of Discasaurus just became available an hour ago. If you downloaded yesterday, you'll want to update it for all the fixes, including:
-Nationwide course directory
-Indicators for swipe-able screens

A drab psychiatrist's office or flattering track lighting, can't-stop-the-movement music, and racks upon racks of stuff we want—we think we'll choose retail therapy over the real thing every time. Of course, of course, we kid; not all woes can be banished with a browsing bonanza, but we're sure the thrill of entering a shiny new shop at least beats a St. John's Wort supplement. And really, there is no better time to get your window browsing next-leveled than the end of summer—yeah, that's, like, now—when all the fall goodies drop. We already know you've got your regular haunts, so we did some research that doesn't spell "thrilled" for our bank balances (oh, the things we have for you!) to compile a list of summer's hottest new store openings that'll have you stocked up for months to come. Just call us your naughty neighborhood pharmacist…this is one prescription that's truly habit-forming.

Picture: Zoe Saldana - The 85th Annual Oscars at Hollywood & Highland Center - Red Carpet Arrivals - Los Angeles, California, United States - Sunday 24th...
Actress Zoe Saldana doubts she's ever really been truly in love because she managed to recover "very easily" from her failed romances with ex-boyfriend Bradley Cooper and former fiance Keith Britton.
The Avatar star split from Britton, her partner of 11 years, in 2011 and began dating the Silver Linings Playbook hunk months later after working together on thriller The Words. They enjoyed a three-month relationship before breaking things off in March, 2012, and reunited in September last year (12), only to end their on/off relationship for a second time just before Christmas (12).
Saldana admits she has always healed fairly well after suffering heartache, but she wonders if her ability to bounce back so quickly means she has never actually fallen deeply in love.
She tells Latina magazine, "I feel it (heartache). I allow myself to feel it. Of course everyone around me will notice how it (a break-up) made me feel, but I tend to recover very easily.
"When I lose, when my heart is broken, when I lose a competition, when I don't get something, when something doesn't go my way or I have a heartbreak or whatever, maybe it's just the kind of person that I am, or maybe I haven't really fallen in love yet, had that crash boom bam in my life yet, but I tend to recover... healthy and smoothly. And I've been that way up until now. And if it ain't broke, don't fix it (sic)."
The actress, who has been single since parting with Cooper in December (12), insists she would never want to have to rely on a man but she isn't against the idea of embarking on a new relationship: "I don't want to need things. I need water, you know what I'm saying? I need to exercise, I need to eat. To be with a man, should be a want. I don't need anybody.
"The people that I do need are just family... But a man is something that I want, I want be with a partner, because this partner is going to add or I'm going to add to this partner."

As much fun as it is to think that our favorite designers work in charming workshops like Keebler Elves, the reality is that design houses are massive entities filled to the brims with big budgets, big strategy, and even bigger personalities.
It's that wealth of creativity and resources that churns out the two, three, four, sometimes five collections a year, per house, that you love following. But it's the in-house drama (also thanks to some of those larger-than-life designers) that keeps each institution at the top of our fashion news feed. Ahead, we've detailed the stories behind 12 of the biggest (or at least, most interesting) names in fashion, and the moments, people, and designs that have made them so illustrious.
P.S. The illustrations are awesome, so please view them in fullscreen mode if your browser can handle it!
