Wishing you all a Very Happy Merry. And no, I'm not falling into that trap. You go out and dance to the beat of whichever winter festival you want to celebrate. Christmas.

Hayden Panettiere to play convicted murderer Amanda Knox
Knox, 23, and her Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, were found guilty last year of killing 21-year -old British student Meredith Kercher by slashing her throat with a knife during a violent, drug-fueled sex game, reports the New York Post.
Prosecutors called Knox a 'coiled spring filled with vengeance because her 'prissy roommate' had criticized her grooming and sexual habits. After an 11-month trial, Knox was convicted of murder, sexual assault and other charges in Italy and sentenced to 26 years in prison.

Real Madrid are one of the most successful football clubs and they will be desperate to end their archrival Barcelona's dominance in the La Liga and also they will want to win the Champions League this season, having broken their Round of 16 jinx in the 2010-11 season.
In Jose Mourinho, they have an extremely shrewd manager, who will devise strategies on how to beat Barcelona and win major trophies this year.
The Los Blancos have moved in quick in the summer to seal the signings of Nuri Sahin, Hamit Altintop and Jose Callejon and will further look to add to their impressive squad. Real Madrid have a strong financial position and Mourinho's side have been linked with a number of players in the summer.
This article is on some of the latest transfer rumors and reports that have emerged in the media relating to Real Madrid.

The following companies had unusual price changes in Sao Paulo trading. Stock symbols are in parentheses and prices are as of 3:15 p.m. New York time. Preferred shares are usually the most-traded class of stock.

Banco Panamericano SA (BPNM4 BS) fell 9.9 percent to 5.95 reais. The bank, which was bought by Banco BTG Pactual SA this week following a November bailout spurred by accounting inconsistencies, may report 4.3 billion reais ($2.6 billion) of losses, including those from alleged fraud, O Estado de S. Paulo reported, without saying where it obtained the information.
Banco Santander Brasil SA (SANB11 BS) declined 2 percent to 18.70 reais. The lender, based in Sao Paulo, said its loan portfolio expanded 4 percent in the fourth quarter from Sept. 30, according to a regulatory filing using Brazilian accounting standards. That's below the industry's growth of 5.6 percent, said Credit Suisse Group AG, which cut its rating on Santander shares to "underperform" from "neutral."
Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes SA (GOLL4 BS) lost 1.3 percent to 23.17 reais.

Localiza Rent a Car SA (RENT3 BS) slumped 4.1 percent to 24.70 reais.

DiDio & Lee Says DC Will Take the Time to Do "Watchmen"/Rebirth Story 'Right'
Comic Books
Inspired by the shirt wears on David Aja's cover for Hawkeye #9, WeLoveFine.com is offering an exclusive tee design so men and women can publicly express their love for the beleaguered Clint Barton.
The "I Heart Hawkeye" shirts come in assorted colors — black, gray or white for men, and black, pink or white for women — and in sizes ranging from small to XXXL. They're $25 for men, and $20 for women. Presumably a "You Dead Now, Bro" shirt will follow soon.
You check out the designs, and Aja's full cover for Issue 9, below. Hawkeye #7 is on sale now.
Hello and welcome to What Are You Reading?, where we take a look at the comics, books and other things the Robot 6 crew have been reading lately. We kick off the new year with Brian Cronin from Comics Should Be Good! as our special guest. In addition to running our sister blog, Brian is also an author, having written two books on comics trivia. He also runs the blog Urban Legends Revealed, where he talks about sports and entertainment urban legends.
To see what Brian and the Robot 6 crew have been reading, click below …
Marvel is nothing if not nimble, changing up the schedule and creative lineup of Hawkeye to allow writer Matt Fraction to address the impact of Hurricane Sandy on New York and New Jersey in Issue 7, with the help of guest artists Steve Lieber and Jesse Hamm. What's more, Fraction announced he'll donate his royalties from the issue to the Red Cross' Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.
Hawkeye #7 will be split into two stories, with Lieber illustrating Clint Barton's efforts to help a friend evacuate his father from Far Rockaway, Queens, and Hamm drawing Kate Bishop's struggle in Atlantic City as the five-star hotel in which she's attending a social function begins to flood. Series artist David Aja will return with Issue 8.
"I doubt I could tell this story if I was still writing Thor or Iron Man, but this is what Hawkeye ended up being about," Fraction told Comic Book Resources in early December. "He's the superhero that doesn't matter; all that matters is that he's a superhero."
Marvel has provided ROBOT 6 with an exclusive color preview of Hawkeye #7, which goes on sale Jan. 30:
Rough around the edges but as precise as a Swiss clock. It's an apt description for the Marvel character Hawkeye, and also the work of series artist David Aja.
Born and raised in Valladolid, Spain, the same town Don Quixote author Miguel de Cervantes called home, Aja earned a college degree in illustration as was on his way to a career in magazine illustration before he followed his childhood ambition: comics. After a prosaic debut in the Marvel anthology X-Men Unlimited, Aja grew by leaps and bounds before becoming the signature artist of the cult-hit series The Immortal Iron Fist with writers Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction. After the conclusion of his run, Aja did a series of one-off stories for titles like Secret Avengers, Daredevil and Wolverine: Debt of Death while he and his wife added two children to their home already filled with animals. This year, Aja and Fraction reunited for another series, this time taking on classic Avenger (and newly minted movie star) Hawkeye in a self-titled series that focuses on the archer's life when he's not working as one of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
After last week's stupendous one-off story in Hawkeye #6, Aja seems on top of his game. And what better time to get inside his head and find out what he thinks about comics and his place in it. In our conversation, we go over his time on The Immortal Iron Fist and Hawkeye, his views on original art, and also his idea of creative teams and what his formula is for making a great comic.
It's Thursday afternoon as you're reading this, but it's still Wednesday night as I write it. Usually on Wednesdays, I work at my day job until 5 p.m., and then, after I shout "Yabba-dabba-doo!" and slide down the tail of my sauropod/steam shovel, I hop into my car and drive to my local comic shop and pick up a small stack of comic books. Then I return to my apartment and read them, and then I write brief reviews of them all for a weekly feature I post on my home blog and then I write my weekly post for Robot 6.
Wednesdays are, generally speaking, pretty busy days for me. This one's even busier than usual, as in addition to the above, I have a few extra writing assignments I need to finish before the end of the week and I still have two homemade Christmas presents for loved ones I need to finish putting together.
So then I had a brilliant idea! Well, an idea. Maybe instead of writing two blog posts tonight, one for Every Day Is Like Wednesday and one for Robot 6, I would just write my usual Wednesday-night blog post and put it here instead of there, thus killing two birds with one stone, as the saying, which was popularized back when people still killed birds with stones, goes.
Here then, are a few paragraphs about each of the new comic books I bought and read this Wednesday (now if only I could give blog posts as a Christmas gifts to my family members, the rest of this week would be pretty chill):

How much, exactly, is too much of a good thing? I imagine it depends on the thing in question, and the person you ask. Let's say the thing is Marvel's newish Hawkeye. And the person is me.
I really like this comic, which is something that came as a great surprise to me, as I don't really have any feelings about Hawkeye beyond, perhaps, preferring the super-archer with the facial hair and the green costume. And I don't really like reading Marvel comics serially any more, given how hard the publisher strives to make that experience an unpleasant one, with the ads and the variants and the cover prices and the AR phone applications and the random switching and the renumbering and title changing and the funny numbering schemes ("Superior Spider-Man #6AU"…?) and the irregular shipping schedules.
I bought the first issue on a whim, though (it was a light week), and despite a little confusion as to why artist David Aja was to aping '80s-era David Mazzucchelli, it impressed the hell out of me. Writer Matt Fraction and Aja make a great team, and the idea of focusing on what Hawkeye does "when he's not being an Avenger" — recasting the movie star/cartoon character/toy as a more-or-less everyman action hero — is interesting, as was the decision to make every issue a done-in-one complete story (for the first three issues, anyway).
Each story has had elaborately constructed plots that spring open, move fluidly and then snap satisfyingly shut, the script and art are paced to encourage a slower, more appreciative reading process that makes each issue seem twice as long as most other Marvel comics, and even Matt Hollingsworth's old-school but understated color and generous use of purple (to compensate for the lack of costume) has been impressive.
I started to worry when Issue 4 shipped, though, and worry still more when I read Issue 5, and worry still more when I saw Issue 6 arrives next Wednesday.
It's time once again for our monthly trip through Previews looking for cool, new comics. We've each picked the five comics we're most anticipating in order to create a list of the best new stuff coming out two months from now.
As usual, please feel free to play along in the comments. Tell us what we missed that you're looking forward to or – if you're a comics creator – mention your own stuff.

G.I. Joe #1: As if G.I. Joe wasn't entirely in my guilty pleasure wheelhouse already, IDW Publishing relaunches the title with Fred Van Lente as writer and the tease of social and media commentary as the team is forced to go public in its fight against Cobra. Seriously, that's just unfair, people. (IDW, $3.99)
Hawkeye, Vol. 1: My Life As A Weapon TP: One of the best-looking comics around, thanks to David Aja (and Javier Pulido, on a couple of the issues contained herein), and something that I suspect I'm going to want in a collected edition to give to friends wanting some fun, fast-moving action stuff to read. Best thing Matt Fraction's done in a long time, too. (Marvel, $16.99)
New Tales of Old Palomar HC: Continuing my Love and Rockets education, a chance for me to pick up Gilbert Hernandez' return to Palomar in this new collected edition of his Ignatz series. This is definitely my favorite of Beto's work, so I'm happy to see more. (Fantagraphics, $22.99).
The Sixth Gun: Sons of The Gun #1: A new spin-off series from Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt's spectacular horror western? Why, I really don't mind if I do, thanks very much. For added benefit, having Brian Churilla show up for art duties is pretty sweet, as well. (Oni Press, $3.99)
Young Romance: A New 52 Valentine's Day Special #1: Even if I'm feeling less than enthused about the majority of DC's superhero line lately, I have to admit, the idea of a Valentine's Day special one-off is just far too tempting for me to ignore. (DC Comics, $7.99).
I've been a David Aja devotee since I first discovered his work in The Immortal Iron Fist #1. Much like Marcos Martin (another favorite), Aja has a clean, deceptively simple style, a keen sense of design, and a gift for pacing (you need look no further than this page for an example of, well, all of that). So naturally when Marvel announced he would be reuniting with his Iron Fist collaborator Matt Fraction for Hawkeye, I was thrilled. Only three issues in, the series has already proved to be a perfect showcase for the talents of both creators. Gun fights, archery, car chases, a sassy sidekick, sex — what more could a person ask for in a comic?

If I had $15, I'd make up for lost time and get the first collection of Mind the Gap (Image, $9.99). Rodin Esquejo is an absolute gem in my opinion, and Jim McCann looks to have crafted a story with some definite suspenseful power. After that I'd get James Stokoe's Godzilla: Half Century War #3 (IDW, $3.99). This has become one of my favorite serials to come out, which for a work-for-hire book is tough. Instead of doing a story in service of the concept, it uses the concept to create a great story – and Stokoe really loves Godzilla and puts a face to those humans who oppose him. Finally, I'd get the free Cyber Force #1 (Image/Top Cow, $0) because, well, it's free. I have an unabashed love for the original Cyber Force, and previous reboots haven't really gelled the way I wanted to. I'm excited to see what Matt Hawkins brings to this, and I'm glad Silvestri is involved even if only on covers and designs.
If I had $30, I'd first stop for Glory #29 (Image, $3.99). I tend to read this series in built-up bursts, and I'm overdue to catch up. I like the monstrous rage Ross Campbell brings to this, and seeing Joe Keatinge capitalize on the artist he has to create a broader story is thrilling. After that I'd get a Marvel three-pack in Hawkeye #3 (Marvel, $2.99), Daredevil #19 (Marvel, $2.99) and AvX Consequences #2 (Marvel, $3.99). I'd buy David Aja illustrating a phone book – seeing him getting a great story is icing on the cake.
If I could splurge, I'd lash onto Charles Burns' The Hive (Pantheon, $21.95). I'm reluctantly late to the game when it comes to Charles Burns, but X'ed Out clued me into his awesome cartooning power. After devouring his previous work, I'm excited to read The Hive as it first comes out. I don't quite know what to expect, but after finally coming around to Burn's skill I'm up for pretty much anything. Continue Reading »

The timing couldn't be better for Marvel's new Hawkeye book, which came out this past weekend. For one thing, there's that big blockbuster Avengers movie that came out earlier this year, where the character got some big-screen time thanks to actor Jeremy Renner. For another, Marvel was able to line up Matt Fraction, David Aja and Matt Hollingsworth, who worked together on a phenomenal Iron Fist run a few years back, to show us what Clint Barton does when he isn't Avengin', Secret Avengin' or teaching at the Avengin' Academy.
I was sold by the creative team alone, but if you're still on the fence about the first issue, here are a few reviews from the web to help you along.
Alex Evans, Weekly Comic Book Review: "Hawkeye #1 is one of those rare first issues where you know that you're seeing the start of something very special. Much like Daredevil #1, there's a perfect unity between writer and artist and, more than that, a fresh, unique take on an old, well-worn character. I will go even so far as saying that much like Fraction's Iron Man, Hawkeye #1 feels like the start of what will be the definitive take on the character for years to come." (Grade: A)
Chris Sims, ComicsAlliance: The concept of 'Hawkeye on his days off' that's laid out in the title page fits this book like a glove, and it's a pretty interesting choice. After those first few pages where he gets knocked out of a building, Clint doesn't wear his costume and nobody refers to him as 'Hawkeye.' Instead, he's just Clint Barton in a suit — an actual suit with a shirt and tie, not the purple leather that makes him look like Prince's racquetball partner — dealing with things on a relatively low-key level. Rather than, say, the Loki level that he has to deal with at his day job.

If I had $15, I'd start things off with Hawkeye #1 (Marvel, $2.99). David Aja's built up a great track record from his run on Iron Fist to his various one-off issues in and around the Marvel Universe, so seeing him re-team withIron Fist co-writer Matt Fraction is something special. Without creators like these I'd probably balk at a Hawkeye series, but they make this a must-buy. After that I'd get another first issue, Image's Harvest #1 (Image, $3.50). AJ Lieberman's quietly written a number of great stories, and this one seems pretty inventive. I might've waited for the trade on this, but newcomer Colin Lorimer's art on it makes me think he's going to be a big deal and I need to know about it. For the bronze in my $15 pile, it's Avengers Vs. X-Men #9 (Marvel, $3.99). This week, Jason Aaron and Andy Kubert take point, re-teaming from their great but under-appreciated Astonishing Wolverine and Spider-Man series from a while back. Lastly, I'd get Daredevil #16 (Marvel, $2.99) because Waid is bringing his A-game, and the recent addition of Chris Samnee only makes it even more impressive. The previews for this issue shows guest appearances by Ant-Man, Doctor Strange and Iron Man, so it'll be interesting to see how Waid factors them into Matt's world.
If I had $30, I'd get Thief of Thieves #7 (Image, $2.99), which is becoming one of my favorite Image books and Nick Spencer's finest at the moment. Having Shawn Martinbrough draw it only helps. After that, I'd get Earth 2 #4 (DC, $2.99). James Robinson is really living up to the "New 52" moniker by giving us one of the most imaginative and different takes on the DCU, and Nicola Scott is drawing up a storm here. After that, I'd tie things up with RASL #15 ($4.99). Jeff, you get my money sight unseen.
If I could splurge, I'd take a chance and order Absalom: Ghosts of London (2000 AD, $17.99) because it looks pretty great. British cops governing over an ages-old pact between the English government and hell? Hell yeah.

Comments about 'Gov. Gary Herbert set to call special session Friday to consider repeal of HB477'

This just shows that Herbert is out-of-touch. While the initial vote was
veto-proof, the amended bill wasn't close to that. Plus, he had received plenty
of public input against this bill. All he had to do was veto the bill which
would have strengthened is public support and focused voter wrath on the
legislature, if they attempted to override the veto.
Instead, Herbert has a huge target on him going into next year's convention and will most likely get the Cannon/Bennett treatment.

Herbert and every legislator who voted for this deserves to be ousted from office, regardless of the potential repeal. They wnated, they voted for or signed it and once the people spoke out, they changed their minds. If they were really representing the people, it never would have made it out of committee. Utah's one ideology government is asinine.

"Veto-proof margins"? If he didn't like the bill he shouldn't have signed it, period. I wish he hadn't. So he signs the thing and now calls for repeal? Come on Gov. Leaders are supposed to stand up for what they (supposedly) believe in and do what's right, "veto-proof margins" or not.

Pathetic. At least have the guts to stand up for, and behind, the bill your
party snuck through the back door at the last minute to avoid public outcry.
And in the end, this matters not. Utahn's will still step in the voting booth, select the R - Straight Party option, and every Legislature who voted for this bill in the first place will skate to re-election. Just the way politics in Utah work.
Can you imagine if this bill in Utah had been drafted, supported, approved, voted for, and signed off on by Democrats? The only word you would be hearing was "IMPEACH."

The article states that lawmakers conversations with constituents are already protected. So if that was the purpose then there was no reason for HB477. I am not sure that conversations with constituents should be protected as it provides an avenue for constituents who are also heavy contributors to receive special attention which I think is wrong. Which begets the question as to when do heavy contributers who are also constituents receive the privacy protection already provided to them as constituents and when should they not receive this protection? I think they should lose this protection when they are heavy contributors. What is a heavy contributor one who contributes more than the amount of the lowest contributor that legislator has in his pool of contributors.

Good Move! I wish the Governor had not played politics with this one. He could
have avoided a whole lot of bad press, ill-will and embarrassment by not signing
this bill.
Transparency in government is right and good. There is a cost to doing the people's business. The price of such openness is worth it. It is needed so those who choose to become fully informed, as well as those who manipulate popular opinion, can both have the facts. With such openness the fully informed can see the facts in spite of and in the light of the manipulation and game-playing of politics, and the line between good and evil becomes all the more clear.
Utahns are not a bunch of doofusses that marketers and pollsters and party politics can manipulate at will. Thankfully, there are still enough people in Utah who know the difference between good and evil and support goodness when they see it. We want such openness in government. Next time the Governor needs to check his good vs evil meter instead of marketers, pollsters and politicking to make good leadership decisions.

Yes, the existing GRAMA law already exempted personal communications. Yet, even last week I spoke with a key senior member of the Legislature who strongly supported HB477. His number one reason? Because he didn't want his personal communications subjected to records requests. Proof that these guys often don't even read the laws they try to amend, let alone the new bills proposed. It's all largely based on unfounded rhetoric and ideology. Great use of precious state resources, guys! I would propose a bill that 'considering the collateral damage these guys routinely inflict upon Utahns and our state image, we simply eliminate the Utah Legislature until we actually see 50/50 R/D split."

Washington Timeshare Foreclosure and Right to Cancel Laws
Learn about Washington timeshare laws, including contract disclosures, the right to cancel, and foreclosure procedures.
Washington's timeshare laws are designed to ensure that sellers disclose pertinent information and potential risks to prospective purchasers. If you have purchased or are thinking of purchasing a timeshare in Washington, or are facing a timeshare foreclosure, it's important to learn the answers to the following questions:
- What disclosures are required in a timeshare purchase?
- How do I cancel a timeshare contract in Washington?
- What are Washington's timeshare sales laws?
- Are there any laws to protect consumers in timeshare transactions?
- If I stop making payments, what is the foreclosure procedure in Washington?
Keep reading to find out some of the most significant features of Washington timeshare law.
(Be sure to check out Nolo's Buying or Selling a Timeshare and Timeshare Foreclosures topic areas where you can find information about selling or donating your timeshare, timeshare foreclosures, options to avoid a timeshare foreclosure, and consequences of a timeshare foreclosure.)
Timeshare Disclosure Document
Any person who offers or sells a timeshare must provide the prospective purchaser with a written disclosure document before the prospective purchaser signs an agreement for the purchase of a timeshare. The disclosure document must include (among other things):
- the location of the timeshare property
- a general description of the timeshare property and the timeshare units
- the types, prices, and number of units
- the types and durations of the timeshares
- the maximum number of units that may become part of the timeshare property
- a description of any financing offered
- a statement of ownership of all properties included in the timeshare offering including any liens or encumbrances affecting the property
- copies of any agreements or leases to be signed by timeshare purchasers at closing and a copy of the timeshare instrument
- a description of the nature and purpose of all charges, dues, maintenance fees, and other expenses that may be assessed
- the current amounts assessed, the method and formula for changes, as well as the formula for payment of charges if all timeshares are not sold (and a statement of who pays additional costs)
- information about cancelling the purchase, and
- any additional information necessary to fully inform prospective timeshare purchasers (Wash. Rev. Code § 64.36.140).
Cancelling a Timeshare Purchase in Washington
Washington provides a timeshare purchaser seven days to cancel the deal after:
- signing the timeshare agreement, or
- receiving the disclosure document, whichever is later (Wash. Rev. Code § 64.36.150).
To cancel, you must provide written notice of the cancellation either by mail or hand delivery (Wash. Rev. Code § 64.36.150).
(Learn more about cancelling a timeshare purchase in Nolo's article How Do I Cancel a Timeshare Contract?)
Timeshare Sales Law
In Washington, any individual offering timeshares must be registered with the state as a timeshare salesperson (unless the timeshare offering is exempt from registration or the timeshare salesperson is licensed as a real estate broker or salesperson) (Wash. Rev. Code § 64.36.070).
Washington law allows for disciplinary action against a timeshare salesperson if he or she has engaged in dishonest or unethical practices in the timeshare business (Wash. Rev. Code § 64.36.090).
Consumer Protections
Washington law makes it unlawful (a class C felony) for any person in connection with the offer, sale, or lease of any timeshare in the state:
- to make any untrue or misleading statement of a material fact
- to omit a material fact
- to employ any device, scheme, or artifice to defraud, and
- to engage in any act, practice, or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon any person (Wash. Rev. Code § 64.36.210).
Jurisdiction: Timeshare Sellers Cannot Avoid Washington Protections
Washington timeshare sellers might be tempted to evade the Washington timeshare protections by stating in the contract that another state's law will control. But Washington law puts a stop to this -- saying that any such provision in a contract cannot be enforced. This essentially means that Washington timeshare sellers are bound by Washington law. (Wash. Rev. Code § 64.36.120).
Timeshare Sellers Must Provide Promised Gifts, Awards, and Prizes
Timeshare sellers are notorious for getting people to attend sales presentations by offering free gifts or awards. Sometimes, timeshare sellers then fail to provide the gifts or prizes to potential buyers after the presentation. Washington law bans this practice.
In Washington, timeshare sellers must provide a bond, letter of credit, cash depository, or other security arrangement that will assure delivery of a promised gift before advertising or promising a free gift, an award, a prize, or other item of value as a condition for attending a sales presentation or touring a facility. People who are promised a gift, but do not receive it, and then prevail in a lawsuit, are entitled to treble the stated value of the gift, prize, or award, plus court costs and reasonable attorney fees (Wash. Rev. Code § 64.36.320).
Timeshare Foreclosure Procedure
If you take out a loan to purchase an interest in a deeded timeshare and fail to make your timeshare mortgage payments or keep up with the assessments, you will likely face foreclosure. (In addition to monthly mortgage payments, timeshare owners are ordinarily responsible for maintenance fees, special assessments, utilities, and taxes, collectively referred to as "assessments." Find out more in Nolo's article Can a Timeshare Be Foreclosed for Nonpayment of Fees or Assessments?)
In Washington, the foreclosure can be nonjudicial or judicial. (To learn more about the difference between judicial and nonjudicial foreclosure, and the procedures for each, visit Nolo's Judicial v. Nonjudicial Foreclosure page.)
(Learn more about the Washington foreclosure process.)
How to Find Washington's Timeshare Laws
You can access the Revised Code of Washington by going to http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw. The statutes that govern timeshare transactions in the state are located in Title 64 (Real Property and Conveyances), Chapter 64.36 (Timeshare Regulation).

What is thrombocytopenia (low platelet count)?
Thrombocytopenia is a lower than normal number of platelets (less than 150,000 platelets per microliter) in the blood. Normal platelet counts range from 150,000 to 400,000 per microliter in the blood.
Platelets are one of the cellular components of the blood along with white and red blood cells. Platelets play an important role in clotting and bleeding. Platelets are made in the bone marrow similar to other cells in the blood. Platelets originate from megakaryocytes which are large cells found in the bone marrow. The fragments of these megakaryocytes are platelets that are released into the blood stream. The circulating platelets make up about two third of the platelets that are released from the bone marrow. The other one third is typically stored (sequestered) in the spleen.
Platelets, in general, have a brief lifespan in the blood (7 to 10 days), after which they are removed from circulation. The number of platelets in the blood is referred to as the platelet count and is normally between 150,000 to 400,000 per micro liter (one millionth of a liter) of blood. Platelet counts less than 150,000 are termed thrombocytopenia. A platelet count greater than 400,000 is called thrombocytosis.
Platelets participate in coagulation. Platelets initiate a sequence of reactions that eventually lead to the formation of a blood clot. They circulate in the blood vessels and become activated if there is any bleeding or injury in the body. Certain chemicals are released from the injured blood vessels or other structures that signal platelets to become activated and join the other components of the system to initiate coagulation. When activated, the platelets become sticky and adhere to one another and to the blood vessel wall at the site of the injury to slow down and stop the bleeding by plugging up the damaged blood vessel or tissue (hemostasis).
It is important to note even though the platelet numbers are decreased in thrombocytopenia, their function often remains completely intact. Other disorders exist that can cause impaired platelet function despite normal platelet count.
A platelet count below 10,000 is severe thrombocytopenia and may result in spontaneous bleeding. In mild thrombocytopenia, there may be no adverse effects in the clotting or bleeding pathways. These effects vary with different low platelet counts from person to person.

need a second humm mabey third opinion.
it sounds like a posible heat gain problem. are all of the electrical penetrations/plumbing/everything else fire caulked?
Your power company sends you a notice to change your filter. It is called a bill.
Re-run drain and tie into two inch vent stack
enjoy the ride it is an EXPERIENCE.
I do not like to talk bad about a manufacturer but they are not mechanic friendly.
check water source
there are a lot of things here to look at insulation, air leaks, age of unit, age 0f h0use, weather stripping around doors etc.
where is thermostat in relation to return air filter grill
I agree with been there. I think I might look at air mix ing in the return ie I mean attic air
probably a fresh air intake as fridgy states. Local coded will determine removal or not.
compressor grounded blew terminals. it happens
although I am not easily impressed that video impressed me.
Dont touch it.
Get the pro. You probaly need some extensive evacuation filter drier changes to clean up the systems.
Be happy
All of the ducting is underneath, insulation also. Critters tear up insulation. You can lay under one and feel the cool air falling on you.
If the unit is 18 years old wit5h the manufacturer rebates and tax incentives plus the enegery savings why not replace the unit.
soldering without removing schraders, not re-tightening schraders, or not tightening schrader valve caps. Vibration can sometimes cause things to loosen. Not often but it happens.
call a real tech.
TO get the most bang for your buck replace inside AHU and condenser with matcheed equipment.

moving the unit is probably the only solution
I agree with amd
Rheem is giving factory rebates through August if delivery is made by September 15
That little getting paid problem.

Definately a reheat coil but for what purpose?
I can't believe it ever worked!
turn it off and call a tech.
did your architect make you a set of mechanical drawings. they would be a great help to you and your contractor.
pics would be a great help.
IF you are going to that much effort ask about factory rebates and tax incentives on 15 or16 SEER equipment.
must have get in the truck time
replace the entire system. If you can. Enegey savings, tax credits, cash back from manufacturer. 22 year old system vs new, enegery savings will almost pay for it.
look for a kinked line or clogged filter something along that line.
side job Sammy strikes again. You need a real Tech to find and fix problem.
New install is all new. line set, cond, AhU, Tstat, pad.
Iagree with everyone else. Call the contractor back.
replace entire system. rebates, tax credit , peace of mind.
possible cloged/dirty cond. coil. System needs to be properly checked out , cleaned and serviced. Just pushing reset will cause damage to system.
could be a stat wire problem. nicked, shorted look in that area. mayhave to pull a new one.
try lining the inside of the return with fiber board. that tin looks uninsulated in pics.

When using smartphones, tablets and other technical gadgetry not many want to cover it. They want to show off its design. Year after year we see cell phones advancing in technology. Smarts phones are ever so sleek yet delicate. The new Iphone 6 and Iphone 6 plus is has a large display screen. The phone is so big that the plus edition started to bend. These phones might have advanced in terms of software technology and design but they are extremely delicate and can break at the drop of a hat! It is very important to cover up the delicate beauty be it Samsung, HTC or Apple. Buy specifically designed IPhone covers and Samsung covers from the phone shop at Kaymu.
A good phone case should have form fitting hard shell construction with soft core. The dual layered texture gives maximum drop shield and scratch protection. The design of the cover should also be carefully looked at, as you don't want the cover to bring down the phone's look and appeal. The design should be sliming, decent to look at and have a natural grip. The cut offs are also very tricky in phones. In fact they are the single most important thing one should look at when buying a phone Cover. The cut off for speakers, camera and the power button should be accurate. An inch to the left or right could make the whole case useless as you would have to take of the cover to take a picture every time.
A cell phone cover and mobile case is used to cover or envelope your much too expensive smartphones, ipads, and tablets in order to preclude probable damage. Once you have your mobile cover, you can be assured that your cell phone will be safe if dropped. Make your cell phone look like new for a long time. It is the best mobile and tablet accessory you can buy for your phone and tablet.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge are expensive mobile phones. Anyone who owns this phone knows that regular phone case does not fit so well on the phone owing to its tilted edge. This case is preciously designed for your Samsung Note. The Thor cover is an extremely affordable case, priced below USD 20. This case comes in four colors; red, black, pearly silver and gold. The black case and silver cases are actually flip wallet cases, great for double protection from front and back. The case is a fine balance of being tough on the outside yet slim enough to fit into your jean pocket. Its luxurious matt finish and rubberized edges prevent slip in the first place. The web pattern on the inside helps shock resistance. You have a cut off for headphone jack, camera and speakers and a raised power button for easy use.

Let me see if I have read this right. Mayor Berke has said that he wants to cut some of the pension because the taxpayers can't afford the current rate. What do the taxpayers have to do with it?
My brother retired from the Police Department after 27 years. During those years he paid part of his salary into the pension fund instead of Social Security.
For anyone to suggest they take the money from these retirees is simply wrong.
This is ludicrous and I think the people who are wanting to do this should retire to keep from embarrassing themselves any more than they already have.
* * *
I see today another group of government employees (police chief and his assistant chiefs) are set to retire - - in their "late 40s." Is there any doubt why there is a revenue crisis when government employees can retire with a full pension in their 40s?
Nothing against the police officers taking what was promised - - that was the deal they entered, and they are "entitled." But, for new government employees these benefits must come to an end. There is simply no way to afford to pay people who may very well be on retirement longer than years of employment.
The "bread and butter" average middle class taxpayer will never be in a position to retire with a full pension in their "late 40s." No private employer could afford such a program.
Bob Purcell
Well the CPD Titanic can't take on anymore water. The years of it taking hits from all the micro managing mayors and especially Berke now going after the police officers' pensions, the ship has its propellers sticking out of the water and has begun its nose dive to the bottom.
I can't imagine the damage this mayor has done to the departments recruitment pool. Like Obamacare and the DMV to name only two, the government has a horrible record in managing. I'd love to see the CPD become privatized and run by a person(s) who knows how to make a organization work.
I don't know anything that has a chance of great success when every few years it has a different boss and CEO. The CPD had a very good chance when it had Bobby Dodd but when you have a nerdy little mayor that knows nothing of being a cop, running things like the previous ones, Dodd didn't have a chance.
Berke, like all our politicians, have their eyes on the police budget and now even their pensions. They keep trying to trim it down to save a buck.
You may cut back on salting the roads or manicuring the city's vast park land but in today's violent world you cannot cut or short change the CPD and its troops. You instead need lots of good people, big equipment and a shooting range......and yes it's expensive but that's the nature of the beast.
I suggest Berke keep pushing his pencils and getting his picture taken, but he has no business tinkering with a police department while the shootings soar.
I say privatize CPD and keep the grubby little politicians' hands off its police officers' money and keep their noses out of the police business.
Michael Burns
Bravo for you and your views. I especially like the quotation marks around the word entitled. Even though you say you have nothing against the fire and police taking what is promised, it still makes me think that you don't believe they deserve the money that they have paid into their pensions over their many years of service.
I myself have a hard time wanting to screw our fire and police yet again. They do a tough thankless job and put their life on the line everyday. I'd rather see my taxes go up a few cents, but then, I have a conscience.
Herb Montgomery
I see that most people that take the time to write in to this forum tend to be behind the Fire and Police pension. I can appreciate that because my husband just so happens to work for the CPD. For those who have feelings similar to Mr. Purcell, let me offer some insight.
Google "life expectancy for police officers." What you will find is that while the national average for life expectancy in the United States is 78 years, for police officers it's 59.5 years. What does that mean for someone like my husband? It means that he will get to enjoy retirement, job free, for 4.5 years. Isn't that something to look forward to?
How many old, retired police officers do you know? I don't know of any. I know a lot of old retired teachers, electricians, etc. Private sector jobs and careers may have longer spans until retirement but the stresses and hazards are not comparable to law enforcement.
By the way, I didn't see you write anything about the military which one can join at 17, do their 20 years to retirement, and leave with benefits at the ripe old age of 37.
Thank you to everyone for the support that you give to officers of both the CPD and CFD and the "entitlements" that they receive.
Nicole Tinney
Mr. Purcell,
I graduated high school in 1990, and a classmate from an earlier class joined the Navy as a sonar man at age 17.
For 20 years he was in the silent service, spending his time in schools and in a rolling office chair at a console staring at a sonar screen. (There is obviously more to that job, but I'm keeping this simple for time's sake.) He became retirement eligible and left with full benefits at age 37.
Do you know what people call him? A veteran and a national hero. No surface warfare device, no combat injuries, and if he saw blood it was as a result of a personal or industrial accident. These are his words. In other words? A hero.
On a local level, a police officer can join the force shortly after their 21st birthday, even entering the Academy just prior to it so long as the birth date passes before they graduate. After 25 years, that police officer can retire from the force at 46 years old.
During those 25 years, that officer does not stare at a sonar screen or a galley stove top. That officer stares at his neighbors and relatives of friends mangled in car wrecks, deaths he is reminded of on a daily basis as he passes through that very location time and time again, reminded by gouges in the asphalt only he knows to look for, and indentations on utility poles only he knows the source of.
He breaks up fights between members of an opposite race, and it's called a racist for his trouble.
He is the victim of multimillion dollar lawsuits for the aforementioned fight he broke up, for which he was labeled a racist because his skin was a different color and his lawyer knows that label is a scarlet letter unto itself, and will do wonders with the judicial aspects of the resulting case.
He stares at children duct taped to trees in a graveyard after having been ravaged to the point of death by care providers. He stares at what a pet will do to its owner when they die of natural causes and there is no other source of food. How is this comparing to your own private employer thus far?
He does this day after day, marriage after marriage, dodging chemical addictions more frequently than bullets or unwarranted labels, 25 years dealing with the absolute worst humanity has to offer, and at the end of those 25 years?
You don't call him a hero like the sonar man, or the food specialist. You call him an entitlement leech with your "quotations" and cavalier, smarmy references.
You ignore the PTSD inherent in seeing the evil we are capable of doing unto one another day after day for over two and a half decades, and hold him to the standard of an "average middle class tax payer." "Average."
Then after you're done with that, you tell him that he has to work until he's 55 years old, 55 years old chasing violent criminals with the average age is running from 17-19 years old because over half the force consists of street cops, not administrators and detectives. Fifty-five years old chasing these bad guys at 4 a.m. or 8 p.m. or anytime of the day for that matter, then blaming him for spikes in crime. Then tell him he has an entitlement mentality and compare him to a CPA or a pipe fitter or a machinist or any other profession. Tell him the sonar man is a hero, but imply he is a leech and "unsustainable."
The reason we work for 25 years and hope to retire is because after five or six years, believe it or not, it's a pretty horrible job on occasion and making it to 10 and 15 years was hard enough. But you feel that maybe you could squeeze another few daily tragedies into our skulls I suppose, because you really want to stretch your tax dollars. Sickening.
Cops (and firefighters) are walking out the door, brother. Maybe they are looking for sonar screens and stove-tops so they can be heroes? Or maybe you should more carefully consider what you call "average work" and what it costs to perform a service that occasionally drives us crazy or to suicide as it did to a retiree I knew just within the last few weeks. Or less dramatically but more frequently, to the doorway "out."
"No private employer could afford such a program," indeed. There is a reason for that, sir, and if the above examples didn't illustrate those reasons then I don't think I'll be able to explain it further. Not without duct tape and a graveyard anyway.
Cops and firefighters generally don't expect appreciation for what they do, we usually don't even get acknowledgment. But cruelty?
Thank you, sir. It's days like this it all really pays off, and it's no wonder only a quarter of the average police Academy even makes it to retirement with treatment like this, never mind the horror coating our brains from such an "average job." You have to let us stop working at some point as our bodies (and minds) give out, and you have to give us an incentive to stay, even if that incentive costs money.
Your shortsightedness and cruelty is quite apparent, and the way things are going, you are apparently not alone.
Relax. You are definitely on the way to saving money based on the headlines today.
(And in advance of the inevitable "If you can't handle it, you should quit" responses? No need to say it. Again, read the headlines these days.)
Craig Joel
"Average Middle Class Taxpayer"
* * *
Mr. Burns,
The mayor hasn't done damage to the recruiting pool; he actually increased it with the Domestic Partners Ordinance. Don't you remember? The city is now a more competitive employer.
And while we are talking about the police and how the administrations screw them at every turn, has anyone else noticed the abandoned cop cars all over town? Remember when cop cars were expensive and the hard working men in blue (black) couldn't drive their car home? Now we just leave them where they may. The one at the 75/24 interchange looks like it is begging to be totaled for insurance money. And the other one that bounces around is really convincing all frosted over.
Tim Giordano
The problem at hand is not greedy public workers. The problem is government priorities, from the federal government all the way to city government. The politicians are demonizing public workers to get control of more pork spending funds. The politicians are in office a relatively short time, such as mayor, and need cash to back scratch their benefactors and complete their personal pet projects.
The city of Chattanooga has given up services over the past 25 years to Hamilton County, for examples, the jail, the ambulance, and the school system. The Hamilton County taxes increased to take over the services however, Chattanooga taxes did not decrease not one cent. Where is all the money going that once funded these services? Is this just another attempt to accomplish metro government by reducing firefighter and police department's budgets so the county can take over?
The fire department and the police department is the biggest stumbling block for their secret metro agenda between the city and the county.
So in the grand scheme of things, who is being greedy public workers or career politicians?
Charles Thomason
I have never submitted an opinion here before but after reading the comments of Mr. Joel, I could not stand it any longer.
Mr. Joel, yes the sailor probably rolled around in a chair and watched a screen, but did you ever consider he probably had not seen or talked to his family in several months? He was not riding around in a heated/AC vehicle talking on his cell phone and looking at his computer. Why didn't you ever put on a uniform and try it?
My grandson spent 10 months in the desert last summer fighting along side and treating wounded Marines, did your A/C in your car ever stop working? Yes, he is a hero, more than you will ever measure up to, and he does not spend his time whining and crying about the money he makes, even though it's below minimum wage.
In 1968, I watched 200 Marines hold off two divisions of screaming yelling VC for 77 days, last week I watched 40 police dressed in their GI Joe suits surround a house with an armored vehicle and there was nobody there, the cameras and spotlights were though. There is a little place in South Carolina called Paris Island that will issue you and them all the gear you want for free and send you to a place where you will really need it.
Sick of your crying, do something productive for this country. I am sick and tired of people like you berating our ,ilitary, as Col. Jessup said, "I would rather you pick up a rifle and stand a watch, otherwise, shut up."

The Smart Response Technology (SRT) of a Intel Z68 can operate in two modes: Enhanced (Write-through) or Maximized (Write-back). Clearly, the Maximized mode sounds better since it will give you near SSD speed even with a relative small SSD.
The manual (Last two links on this page ) says the following about Maximized mode:
In this mode, cached data is written to the accelerated disk or volume at intervals to increase performance. If the cache device is reported as missing or failed and it contained data that had not yet been written to the accelerated disk or volume, then that data will be lost.
To me, this sounds like only when there is "dirty" data on the SSD cache and the SSD fails, data will be lost. A power outage will not cause any trouble since it will write them to the HDDs when the power is back.
However, a test by PC Perspective notes the following:
..I'd personally stick with enhanced mode unless I was extremely confident in the stability of my system (and had it connected to a good UPS).
So, does this mean SRT requires a uninterruptible power supply to prevent data loss?
Update #1
I have now talked to Intel support (using web chat) and this is the outcome:
Me: .... If I have an accelerated system using SRT and there is a power outage, will the ICH/Z68 write the outstanding data (that is still only on the SDD and not on the HD) write the outstanding blocks onto the HDD when the power returns? ...
Victor: Every device that will work as cache will loose the information on a power failure. In your case the data in the cache ( Solid-State Drive ) will be lost.
Me: ... Does this also mean I get a cache problem if Windows just crashes (but the power remains)? Would this also invalid all data inside the cache?
Victor: Correct, but the amount of data should not be that much, it will depend in the process that you are doing and the speed of your hard drives.
Me: Can you please give me a link or something where this is documented? ...
Victor: Unfortunately this information is not posted on the web site, but I will send your request up so that they add it. ....
Update #2
I also talked to the technical writer of the last Z68 test in the last c't - he is disagreeing with what the Intel Support said so they will now try to simply test it out. If I have new information, I will update again.
