Now this has to be quite even i guess IG-88 has advantage of good armour but both can work things out in split seconds. 4-Lom also has Intuition....
What do you think.

The Pickering Firm Inc. is the architect and engineer of record for Nike's massive, 1.7 million-square-foot facility expansion in Frayser.
The Nike distribution center in Frayser is one of the few large engineering projects happening. To cope with fewer large-scale jobs, firms are looking to relatively smaller ones to stay afloat while the economy continues to recover.
(Memphis News/Andrew J. Breig)
The $301 million project, now under construction, includes the expansion of Nike's existing 1.1 million-square-foot distribution center and a new 120,000-square-foot Class A office building.
The Nike project came after Pickering provided grading, drainage, utilities and railroad design services for another huge project, Mitsubishi Electric Power Product Inc.'s 350,000-square-foot manufacturing facility.
But fewer and fewer mega projects like those are happening in town, while other major projects have been put on hold due to economic concerns, leading large engineering firms to work on relatively smaller projects.
"We are coming down off some very big jobs," said Mike Pohlman, president and CEO of Pickering. "There really aren't the big jobs out there so we have to fill in some gaps. You just have to hang around. The key is to be able to hang around long enough."
Pohlman and other engineering professionals said uncertainty over the economy is causing businesses and government divisions to shelve major projects. The firms will hear about a project one day and begin to explore it, only to hear a few days later that the project has been put on hold.
"I've been doing this for 34 years and I've never really seen anything like it," Pohlman said. "Things are hot and all of a sudden they go cold. I can deal with the good times and I can deal with the bad times, but it is up and down daily and weekly."
Frank Gianotti of the engineering and consulting firm Tetra Tech Inc. said he has watched as the number of large projects – such as planning and design work on Interstate 69 in West Tennessee, which Tetra Tech was handling – have been pulled back.
"We have had a lot of that and that trend is getting worse," Gianotti said. "That's a trend I don't see going away and the impact of that to me is definitely bad for the economy, the short-term and long-term economy, of Memphis."
Gianotti and Pohlman said they have focused on increasing the volume of relatively smaller projects.
"The money doesn't seem to be there for the mega projects, but if you've got enough medium-size projects you'll be fine," Gianotti said.
Gianotti and David Bradford, senior principal with SSR Engineers, said the majority of the work they are doing these days is on enhancements or modifications to existing structures.
"We're seeing a lot of the same," Bradford said. "Most of the projects we've been going after are the $3 million to $5 million projects."
Working on the smaller projects – whether it involves trusted clients or a rising new trend – has its own reward. While some of the projects Pickering and Tetra Tech are working on now may be smaller in size and scale, they will have a large local impact.
Pickering continues to work with longtime clients like Kroger, FedEx and Wright Medical, among others.
"Our mainstays of the world, at least they're doing something," Pohlman said.
The work with Kroger, which plans to invest tens of millions of dollars at its Mid-South area stores over the next few years, involves new store creations and remodeling efforts, including the new Union Avenue store.
Pickering has been working closely with Midtown stakeholders on the store's design, hosting multiple public meetings and tweaking the 51,000-square-foot store's layout and appearance.
"It may not be the biggest thing we're working on but it's important," Pohlman said. "That's a real interesting job and it's been well-received."
Gianotti and Tetra Tech have begun to hitch their wagon to the rapidly growing demand for health-centered, quality of life projects like bike and walking paths.
Tetra Tech was the prime design consultant for the Shelby Farms Greenline, the wildly popular trail that runs from Tillman Street in Midtown to Shelby Farms Park.
Tetra Tech and local planners are now designing the extension of the Greenline from Farm Road to the Cordova train station.
"People are really interested in it," Gianotti said. "I could speak to a group a week about it, and I see the trend moving more toward that kind of project.
"That kind of program, focused on health and quality of life, that's been really positive and I hope we see more of it. For the small amount of money these things cost the end result is huge and people just rave about it."

It is possible that the main title of the report Cytochrome C Oxidase Deficiency is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Cytochrome C Oxidase deficiency is a very rare inherited metabolic disorder characterized by deficiency of the enzyme cytochrome C oxidase (COX), or Complex IV, an essential enzyme that is active in the subcellular structures that help to regulate energy production (mitochondria). Deficiency of COX may be limited (localized) to the tissues of the skeletal muscles or may affect several tissues, such as the heart, kidney, liver, brain, and/or connective tissue (fibroblasts); in other cases, the COX deficiency may be generalized (systemic).
Four distinct forms of Cytochrome C Oxidase deficiency have been identifed. The first form of this disorder is known as COX deficiency, benign infantile mitochondrial myopathy. Affected infants exhibit many of the same symptoms as those with the more severe infantile form of the disease; however, because the COX deficiency is limited (localized) to tissues of the skeletal muscles, they typically do not have heart or kidney dysfunction.
In the second type of the disease, known as COX deficiency, infantile mitochondrial myopathy, because the COX deficiency affects tissues of the skeletal muscles as well as several other tissues, the disorder may be characterized by a generalized weakness of skeletal muscles (myotonia), abnormalities of the heart and kidneys, and/or abnormally high levels of lactic acid in the blood (lactic acidosis). De Toni-Fanconi-Debre syndrome may also be present and may include excessive thirst, excessive urination, and excessive excretion of glucose, phosphates, amino acids, bicarbonate, calcium and water in the urine.
The third form of COX deficiency, known as Leigh's disease (subacute necrotizing encephalomyelopathy), is thought to be a generalized (systemic) form of COX deficiency. Leigh's disease is characterized by progressive degeneration of the brain and dysfunction of other organs of the body including the heart, kidneys, muscles, and liver. Symptoms may include loss of previously acquired motor skills, loss of appetite, vomiting, irritability, and/or seizure activity. As Leigh's disease progresses, symptoms may also include generalized weakness; loss of muscle tone (hypotonia); and/or episodes of lactic acidosis.
In the fourth form of COX deficiency, known as COX deficiency French-Canadian type, the COX deficiency affects tissues of the skeletal muscles, connective tissue, and, in particular, the brain (Leigh's disease) and the liver. Affected infants and children may demonstrate developmental delays, diminished muscle tone (hypotonia), crossing of the eyes (strabismus), Leigh's disease, and/or episodes of lactic acidosis.
Most cases of COX deficiency are inherited as autosomal recessive genetic diseases. Rarely, COX deficiency occurs as the result of a new or inherited abnormality (mutation) in a mitochondrial gene.

OAKLAND -- Derek Norris singled up the middle with two outs and the bases loaded in the 10th inning against former Oakland closer Grant Balfour, and the Athletics beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 on Monday night.
Norris notched his second career game-ending RBI while facing Balfour (1-4) in Oakland's eighth walkoff win.
The AL West-leading A's remained one game ahead of the Los Angeles Angels and avoided losing consecutive home games for just the second time this season.
The A's loaded the bases against Balfour, who received a mound visit before Brandon Moss stepped in with a chance at a fourth grand slam but struck out. Norris delivered with his first game-ending RBI since June 24, 2012, against the Giants.
Rays manager Joe Maddon was ejected by first base umpire Quinn Wolcott during the inning and rushed the field to argue.
Ryan Cook (1-1) earned the win on a night the A's stranded 18 runners.
The A's won their 11th extra-inning game, second-most in the majors behind Baltimore.
Tampa Bay had its eight-game road winning streak snapped, which matched the longest in club history, to kick off a 10-game trip. The Rays lost away from Tropicana Field for the first time since July 3 at Detroit and dropped to 23-10 overall since June 25.
In the ninth, reliever Sean Doolittle fielded Brandon Guyer's bouncing safety squeeze bunt and tossed about 10 feet to catcher Norris to tag out James Loney and save the go-ahead run. Doolittle then struck out Kevin Kiermaier.
Until Norris came through, Oakland had missed key chances with runners in scoring position. The A's loaded the bases with two outs in the seventh against Joel Peralta.
Coming off consecutive series losses for only the second time this season, the A's avoided losing back-to-back at home for the first time since May 5-6 against Seattle.
Josh Donaldson singled in the tying run in the sixth.
Evan Longoria homered and Kiermaier hit a two-out triple to set up Desmond Jennings' fifth-inning RBI single against Jeff Samardzija.
With six ex-Rays on Oakland's roster, Maddon has taken to calling them the "Ra-A's."
Rays: Outfielder Wil Myers, on the 60-day disabled list recovering from a broken right wrist, went through an extensive workout and drills in Port Charlotte, Florida. He will likely do a similar session Tuesday and Maddon said the Rays could decide by the end of the week when to begin his rehab assignment.
Athletics: Center fielder Coco Crisp took batting practice and came off the bench as a pinch-hitter in the seventh after missing seven games with a strained neck. He will likely be back in the starting lineup Tuesday. ... Right-hander Jarrod Parker played catch out to 45 feet for his first throwing session since Tommy John surgery in the spring.
Rays: Drew Smyly (6-9, 3.93 ERA) makes his Tampa Bay debut after being traded from Detroit for David Price last Thursday. "I don't look at it as I'm replacing David," he said.
Athletics: Right-hander Jason Hammel (0-4) tries again for his first victory in five starts since being traded from the Chicago Cubs on July 4. He is one of three pitchers in Oakland history to lose each of their first four starts. AL Pitcher of the Month Sonny Gray goes in Wednesday's finale.

Drug Enforcement Unit
The Etowah County Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU) was established in October 2005. The unit was formed to investigate all narcotic activity affecting Etowah County residents. In March of 2008, the DEU was designated as a FBI Safe Streets Tasks Force. On average, the Drug Enforcement Unit investigates 1200 cases per year.
The unit is under the command of Randal Johnson. Under his direction the DEU is ranked as the number one task force in the State of Alabama.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Etowah County Drug Enforcement Unit is to prevent, deter, and investigate narcotic activity. The unit seeks to educate the residents of Etowah County about the dangers of drug use and addiction through various drug awareness and prevention programs within our community and area schools.
The DEU is a multi-functional task force partnered with federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, and other first responders. The team works closely with the FBI, Alabama Bureau of Investigations, Alabama National Guard Counter Drug Program, and the North Alabama Joint Terrorism Task Force.
The DEU is comprised of 14 agents assigned from the Etowah County Sheriff's Office, Gadsden Police Department, Alabama National Guard and the FBI.
The unit's main responsibilities are to identify, investigate, and infiltrate narcotics dealers and their organizations within Etowah County and the surrounding area. The DEU coordinates and assists other organizations and local police departments in combating street level drug crimes. Recruitment of informants to help remove narcotic producers and violators from the streets is essential.
The team also works long-term protracted cases, those involving multiple persons or jurisdictions, those of a historical nature, and those involving oral, wire, and/or video intercepts and smuggling. The Drug Enforcement Unit is also responsible for all tactical response and is the command center for the Joint Special Operations Group (JSOG).
Contact Information
To provide information on narcotic related activity or for any other related requests please contact us at 256-549-5465 or confidential tip line at 256-546-3131.
The Etowah County Drug Enforcement Unit is located at 103 Commerce Parkway, Gadsden, Al.
Thank you for helping us "fight the war on drugs."
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has scheduled another National Prescription Drug Take Back Day which will take place on Saturday,October 26, 2013, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the East Gadsden Wal-Mart and the Etowah County Courthouse. This is a great opportunity for those who have accumulated unwanted, unused prescription drugs, to safely dispose of those medications.
Americans that participated in the DEA's third National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on October 29, 2011, turned in more than 377,086 pounds (188.5 tons) of unwanted or expired medications for safe and proper disposal at the 5,327 take-back sites that were available in all 50 states and U.S. territories. Please check back in March to locate collection sites near you.
The oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country is observed locally during the last week of October. Red Ribbon Week aims to spread an anti-drug message to school-aged children.
During Red Ribbon Week, young people are encouraged to pledge a drug-free life. The special emphasis on drug prevention also allows the community to unify in a stand against drugs and to show intolerance for illicit drug use as well as trafficking.
Red Ribbon Week began in 1985 to commemorate the death of Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Enrique Camarena who was killed while investigating drug traffickers in Mexico. Locally, Red Ribbon participants also honor Chris McCurley, Etowah County Drug Task Force Commander, who lost his life in the fight against illegal drugs in 1997.
Sheriff Todd Entrekin says, "Officer McCurley's death is a particularly painful example of how drug use and trafficking has impacted Etowah County. Unfortunately there are many more, and Red Ribbon Week gives us an opportunity to bring awareness to just how much drugs negatively impact individuals, especially young people, and the community as a whole."
The aviation unit and drug agents annually visit county and city schools during Red Ribbon Week in an effort to encourage students to stay drug-free.
A Message From The Sheriff
This site is maintained as a public service for the citizens of Etowah County. As Sheriff, it is my pleasure to serve you in this manner. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact us.

SCOTTS VALLEY — A 37-year-old Santa Cruz woman was arrested on suspicion of DUI Wednesday after a man wearing only boxer shorts was spotted clinging to her SUV's roof rack on Mount Hermon Road.
Several people called police to report the man about 12:25 p.m., said Scotts Valley police Sgt. Wayne Bellville. The man was standing on the running board of a silver Toyota Highlander with his hands on its roof rack, witnesses said.
Officers caught up with the woman, Sonja Helena Landis, at the Skypark dog park near Kings Village Road and Bluebonnet Lane. He was also at the park.
She and the man knew each other and the man lives on Mount Hermon Road, police said. Landis, who was in the dog park, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, police said.
She remained in Santa Cruz County Jail on Wednesday afternoon in lieu of $5,000 bail, according to jail records.

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero believes the club do not recieve the plaudits they should because of the money spent by the owners.
The 24-year-old believes the club won the Premier League title fair and square despite having trailed leaders Manchester United late on in the season, and says they deserve a lot of credit for doing so.
The Argentina international doesn't have much time for the club's detractors, believing that almost every side competing at the top end spends similar amounts of money.
"I do think that sometimes the real achievements of the team are not appreciated," he told Diario Ole.
"We are Premier League champions and we won that title fair and square. We won that title because we never gave up even when United held a lead that some called insurmountable - eight whole points.
"We were the best all throughout the tournament. Some people say this team was built up at the cost of a lot of money, as if that took away our merit. Like the other teams hadn't spent similar amounts.
"The summer trade season should be enough proof - to my knowledge, one of the few teams that keeps most of its players from their own rookery is Barcelona. The rest don't. The record should be set straight."
Aguero does admit that City failed their Champions League assignment this season but hopes for more luck in the future.
He continued: "It was painful because we had high hopes. But it was a very intense group. The champions from Spain, Netherlands and Germany, no less.
"But this is the way football is, and everything adds up to the experience. The Champions League is a pending assignment for us and Im sure that the future holds better things."
Aguero misses Manchester City's FA Cup third-round tie against Watford on Saturday and bemoaned City's luck with injuries in general this season.
He added: "Keep in mind that this season, a lot of our key players were injured: Nasri, Silva, Kompany, Clichy, Micah Richards, my own knee… it´s not an excuse, but it does influence our game."

Party Menu: A Make-Ahead Meal You Can Cook the Day Before
Or two days before, if you need to. All of these dishes are flexible and actually benefit from sitting around in the fridge for a bit. The lineup: tacos, slaw, sorbet. You can make them the day before the party or the morning of—either way, all you have to do to serve dinner is pull out some tortillas and pour one of these.
This is the perfect menu for a party when you'll be out all day or rushing home from work. It is literally zero-prep. We're giving you three recipes for each part of the meal. Pick and choose what sounds good to you!
For the main dish... Tender, shredded taco meat is one of the most foolproof dishes we know. You can make it in the slow-cooker or on low heat in the oven, and it keeps and freezes beautifully. Buy some tortillas, sour cream, salsa, cilantro, and maybe a can of black beans. Put everything in pretty bowls, and you're set.
For the side... Slaw goes great with tacos; you can serve it on the side or pile it into the tortilla. It's colorful, healthy, and keeps for at least a day or two.
And for dessert... Sorbet—any ice cream, obviously—is a no-brainer for a good make-ahead sweet. It's refreshing after a spicy meal, and you can buy some simple shortbread or a bar of good chocolate to serve with it.
• 1. Slow-Cooked Hoisin and Ginger Pork Wraps
• 2. Slow-Cooker Carnitas
• 3. Barbecue Shredded Chicken
• 4. Crunchy Peanut Slaw
• 5. Tri-Color Slaw with Lime Dressing
• 6. Broccoli Slaw (We think this would be delicious stuffed into a soft taco, but you could also use toasted pepitas instead of almonds if that sounds more taco-ish.)
• 7. Irresistible Clementine Sherbet
• 8. Strawberry and Honey Sorbet
• 9. Almond Berry Sorbet

What happens at Justin Bieber's house stays at Justin Bieber's house -- unless you want to cough up a $3-million penalty for spilling the pop star's secrets.
The Biebs had his guests sign a non-disclosure agreement (obtained by TMZ) stating that they owed the big bucks if they in any way spilled the beans about what went on inside the Saturday rager, which Justin himself described afterward as something out of "The Great Gatsby."
That's cheaper than last time around, in May, when Bieber's NDA threatened a $5-million penalty.
Among the activities forbidden by the NDA were "texting, 'tweeting,' giving any interviews, making statements to the press, or writing, preparing or assisting in the preparation of any books, articles, programs, press releases of any other oral or written communications."
Oh yeah, no pics or videos either. (We're talking to you, Tatiana Neves Barbosa.)
Of course, details can't help but leak out, with TMZ hearing Monday that there were allegedly naked girls everywhere, apparently inspired by the strippers hired to work the party, and that famous guests were rumored to include Chris Brown, Floyd Mayweather, T.I., Trey Songz and a strip-beer-pong-playing Snoop Lion. Add to that three open bars and, allegedly, plenty of weed for those who were interested.
(Did Gatsby have strip beer pong? It's been a while since we read the book.)
What we do know about the party for sure, without anyone violating anything, is that it was loud and went late and ticked off at least one neighbor: the same guy Justin allegedly spat on a while back.
The authorities were called three times, according to TMZ, at 1 a.m., 3 a.m. and finally at 5:30 a.m., when sheriff's deputies took a full report on the disturbing the peace complaint. (Apparently telling the party house to keep it down the first two times out didn't stick.)
We kind of hope someone gets caught talking, though. That way Bieber could use part of the $3-million fine to pay the $11,000 he owes after dumping his birthday monkey, Mally, in Germany.

MADISON, Wis.—Many Wisconsin dairy farmers are already in line with new federal program aimed at helping agriculture officials quickly track livestock in cases of disease.
The rules that went into effect March 11 require dairy cows to be registered when they are shipped over state lines and outline acceptable forms of identification. Most farmers are likely to use ear tags that assign a number to each animal.
Mark Diederichs is president of the Board of Directors of the Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin. He and his partners began using electronic ear tags on their cows eight years ago.
He says it saves time because workers with hand-held devices can scan the tags and immediately pull up animals' records.
Diederichs says many of the state's other, larger dairies also are using them.

They are a fun way to brighten up any space. And since these are printable and inexpensive, you can change them out regularly.
Print these out with your kids and they can help you assemble them. A perfect way to show your children that every day is reason for celebration!

text: I have a computer that won't shutdown when I shutdown in Windows. When I go to the start menu > shutdown > shutdown, the computer acts like it restarts instead of shutting down. Is this a power supply problem? Or could it be a Windows problem? Power switch? I am having to "shutdown" and wait for Windows to shutdown, then flip the main switch on the back of the tower before it tries to boot back up... really annoying.

Going green with the National Geographic
Some things you can't throw away.
It's been at least a year since Ted called with an offer and a plea.
"Dad, I have a couple of printers. They work fine and one is wireless, maybe you can use it in the office."
I knew what he was saying. He couldn't bear to throw them away. Giving them to me absolved him of the guilt.
He's not alone. Our house is full of stuff like that. In prior columns, I have mentioned efforts to free ourselves of years of accumulating and how that process can bring back some wonderful memories.
But what things you're not attached to, yet still have value? Maybe not for you, but for someone else. What about Ted's printers? What about the cheap boom boxes Carol bought, with the CD players that no longer work? The radios are still perfectly good. What about copies of the National Geographic going back years, that you know you'll never leaf through again yet can't part with?
I made the decision to release the National Geographic and the other magazines we get some time ago. I have gotten over my guilt and I feel better. They have a life of nine or 10 months and when the milk crate in the bathroom is about ready to collapse, I initiate a purge.
It's not easy. There's always something I haven't read and I find myself scanning the pages before filling a brown paper bag for the green cart. I know, the green cart for paper and cardboard only is no more, but I can't mix the work of photographers, editors and reporters I admire with beer bottles, peanut butter jars and plastic jugs. That is sacrilege, and it makes no sense.
It was the first question I had for Rhode Island Resource Recovery when I received the mailer with the refrigerator magnet announcing the mixed recycling program.
"Isn't it easier for everyone to sort their recyclables instead of going through a mountain at your end?"
The answer defied logic.
"No," was the response. "The equipment actually works better when it is mixed."
I found that tough to believe, but Resource Recovery spent close to $17 million on equipment so they must know what they're doing.
Sensing my skepticism, Resource Recovery told me that "pickers" – imagine that as a job title – are no longer needed and they had been elevated to positions of quality control. I was assured no jobs were lost.
What about those outdated computers with the bulbous monitors replaced by flat screens; and the printers that Ted so thoughtfully gave us? Could they get mixed, too?
No, that's "e-waste" that requires special treatment.
OK, this recycling machine detects the difference between an empty can of cat food, an aluminum Coors Lite can, my National Geographic and a tub of Better than Butter but has no clue about a Canon printer that still works?
That's the system.
I went online Saturday to find the eternal resting place for the printers, television and computer monitor. Resource Recovery in Johnston accepts e-waste on weekdays, but not on weekends, unless they are doing a special collection. The website also gave a list of municipalities that receive e-waste. Warwick wasn't one of them. I read that Goodwill Industries in Providence accepts e-waste 24/7. Even more compelling was the idea that it has partnered with Dell as a "Reconnect" computer-recycling site. It is projected to recycle 300,000 to 400,000 pounds of e-waste annually. I loaded up all our unwanted electronics Saturday and, after a jarring ride down a torn-up Branch Avenue, I arrived at Goodwill. To my surprise, a single TV was the only indication that I was at the right place. I expected a mound of computers, keyboards and boxes. Respectfully, in consideration of the fact they still functioned and that they could serve another life, I tenderly lowered everything into a plastic bin. No one was around. The yard was empty except for several vans. I had the feeling video cameras were recording everything, although I didn't actually see them.
As for the National Geographic, along with Time, The Smithsonian and the Providence Journal – the work of so many – I kept them unsullied in the green cart. They went out last Monday.
Carol diligently retrieved the cart as soon as it was emptied.
You guessed it, under the new rules, where a recycling cart must be along side your trash cart; the garbage was mine for another week. It makes sense, right?

I want to thank
Clinic at a high level of service. We have been diagnosed with a 6 year old son. Service at a high level, we were met at the airport, organized a transfer to the hotel, to the hospital. They provided a translator, the coordinator constantly helped to organize visits to the doctor. Have been vaccinated and set a date for surgery. If you take the child, you need to take into account all his documents, even the vaccination card.
Thanks to the Bookimed guys for their support at all stages! I managed to combine the survey with the trip and it was the right decision :) A few words about the clinic: Doctors are attentive and pay maximum attention to details, quickly with the help of analyzes, they eliminated all possible options and got to the bottom of the problem. Repeated consultations provided comprehensive information on the course of treatment. It is important that all the doctors said that I can email them if necessary. Anyone who thinks whether it is worth the money or not, I will say what it costs, since you will get the answers to all your questions and you will be sure of the treatment. Thanks again for the organization!
what is relevant is that without bookimed help I will not reach the clinic and the specialized doctor for an opinion (the name of specialized doctor being recommended by Bookimed. from this perspective, I thank you a lot for your support and help in order to get rapid access to information and support and respectively to solution for my future treatment. thank you.
My brother has epilepsy .. Without a doubt, the Ichilov clinic is an excellent choice for examinations and treatment of various diseases. And the narrow specialization of doctors make it one of the best in the world. I am very grateful to the Bookimed consultants who helped me choose the Ichilov Medical Center. You really know what you pay money for! Thanks to my consultants, Ostap and Yulia for their work .. I tried to get in touch with the clinic directly, but through Bookimed I managed to organize everything quickly. You can just trust them and not worry. Help and in choosing a doctor and with housing. THANK!

The one session that I was able to blog at the ACCM show this week in Chicago was, "Top Three Search Marketing Opportunities for Merchants" which combined blogs and social media with paid inclusion and shopping search engines.
The session was moderated by Heather Lloyd-Martin, who opened up with: "There's no secret sauce in search. But there are things that catalog marketers might no know about. There are things they can leverage."
Heather asked the audience, "How many of you have B2B catalogs?" About a third of the audience raised their hands.
First up was Amanda Watlington of Searching for Profit.
The Consumer's Dilema:
More products and more marketing channels have not resulted in greater customer satisfaction.

A state of deficiency of plasma gamma globulins and impairment of antibody formation. The most common cause worldwide is malnutrition. Hypogammaglobulinaemia may be primary or secondary:
Hypogammaglobulinaemia, especially more benign forms, may be easily overlooked. Primary antibody deficiency syndromes most commonly present with recurrent infections due to encapsulated bacteria. However, the most common primary antibody deficiency (common variable immunodeficiency) may present with systemic and organ-specific autoimmunity. Hypogammaglobulinaemia is associated with recurrent, persistent and severe infections such as sinusitis, otitis media, conjunctivitis, pneumonia, meningitis, septic arthritis, failure to thrive and a chronic asymmetrical polyarthritis. Assessment should include a family history of any health problems suggesting possible immunodeficiency. The Primary Immunodeficiency Association lists the following as warning signs of a primary immunodeficiency:

In 2008, Milner and colleagues [ 87 ] demonstrated that T cells in subjects with AD-HIES failed to produce interleukin (IL)-17 (but not interferon gamma) after mitogenic stimulation with staphylococcal enterotoxin B or after antigenic stimulation with Candida albicans or streptokinase. Purified naïve T cells were unable to differentiate into IL-17 producing the T helper (Th17) cells in vitro and had a lower expression of the retinoid-related orphan receptor (ROR)-γt, which is consistent with the crucial role of STAT3 signaling in the generation of Th17 cells. These Th17 cells have emerged as an important subset of helper T cells being critical in the clearance of fungal and extracellular bacterial infections. The Th17 cytokines, IL-17 (IL-17A) and IL-17F form biologically active homo- or heterodimers. Il-17 initiates nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activation, leading to the transcription of multiple target genes involved in innate immunity. These include chemokines, such as CXCL8 (IL-8) and CCL20, the cytokines IL-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), granulocyte- and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF and GM-CSF, respectively), acute phase proteins such as C-reactive protein, antimicrobial peptides and mucins [ 88 ]. Thus, IL-17 plays an important role in antimicrobial defenses by recruiting and expanding the neutrophil lineage and producing antimicrobial peptides. The proinflammatory cytokines produced by Th17 cells include TNFα, IL-22 and IL-26, which are involved in innate immunity, and IL-6 which directs CD4+T cells differentiation towards the Th17 lineage. IL-22 has been associated with the generation of defensins, acute phase proteins and inflammatory cytokines [ 89 ]. This multidirectional, fundamental role of Th17 cells, including cells with specificities against candidal antigens explains the pattern of infection susceptibility characteristic of mutated HIES patients. In the recent report by Conti et al [ 90 ] a decrease of salivary antimicrobial peptides, such as β-defensin 2 and Histatins has been demonstrated in AD-HIES patients, providing a mechanism for the severe susceptibility to oropharyngeal candidiasis. This finding supports this hypothesis of the crucial role of the Th17-dependent responses in immunity to .
Immune assessments of mutated AR-HIES patients reveal T cell lymphopenia with low counts of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, as well as impaired T cell expansion from activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells in vitro. In autosomal recessive HIES eosinophilia and the elevated serum IgE may be more pronounced than in AD-HIES []. In contrast to the latter syndrome, DOCK8 deficiency is associated with low IgM concentrations and impaired generation of a durable secondary antibody response to specific antigens, which accounts for the functional antibody abnormalities []. In a single patient with AR-HIES due to mutation, a normal number of lymphocytes was observed.

Hugo Kauder – Very prolific, highly enjoyable, very accessible, virtually ignored.
Low Price Cheap Price DENIM Denim bermudas Take Two Outlet Best 9cGLa
The music of Hugo Kauder this weekend. It occurred to me that, calling this feature the Weekly Gramophone has been a misnomer these past several years. I always seem to play radio recordings, airchecks, transcriptions of various historic performers or performances, but never have I actually offered any honest-to-god Shellac recordings (i.e. 78's) which constitute real Gramophone recordings.
This week it changes – and it changes by way of a very rare set of discs I've had on the shelf for a very long time; a performance of the Piano Sonata Number 2 by the 20th Century Austrian composer Hugo Kauder, performed by the legendary Lilian Kallir in this circa 1946-1947 set of 78s which were initially released as part of the Hugo Kauder Society in the late 1940s. Also included are Two Melodies from 21 Melodies For Piano after the Sonata.
For your information, by way of The Hugo Kauder Society:
Kauder was born June 9, 1888 in Tobitschau, Moravia, now Tovacov, Czech Republic. His father Ignaz Kauder was Oberlehrer (principal) of the local German language elementary school. As a boy, Hugo Kauder had violin lessons with the local teacher, who eventually dismissed him when he had taught him everything he knew. These lessons were his only formal training in music.
In 1905, Kauder moved to Vienna to study engineering but often skipped school with classmate Egon Lustgarten to study scores in the Imperial Court Library. Of particular interest to him were several volumes of Denkmäler der Tonkunst in Österreich (Monuments of Music in Austria), mainly works of Flemish composers of the 15th and 16th centuries.
From 1911 to 1917, Kauder played violin in the Wiener Tonkuenstler Orchester under such conductors as Ferdinand Loewe, Franz Schalk, Arthur Nikisch, and Richard Strauss. There he began a lifelong friendship with Dutch horn player Willem Valkenier (1887-1986), inspiring his numerous horn compositions.
From 1917 to 1922, Kauder was the violist of the Gottesmann Quartet.
In 1919, he met poet and philosopher Rudolf Pannwitz (1886-1969). Though he could not play an instrument, Pannwitz composed settings of classic poems, following his idea "quite unconventional at the time" that composers should find and reveal the music latent in texts, rather than creating the musical setting at will. Kauder adopted and elaborated this approach to vocal music and regarded Pannwitz as a life-long mentor.
