The closing of American academia

The American Anthropological Association meeting is held annually to showcase research from around the world, and like thousands of other anthropologists, I am paying to play: $650 for airfare, $400 for three nights in a "student" hotel, $70 for membership, and $94 for admission. The latter two fees are student rates. Desomorphine. Desomorphine (dihydrodesoxymorphine, Permonid, street name krokodil) is a derivative from morphine (an opioid) with powerful, fast-acting sedative and analgesic effects.[1][2][3][4] Patented in 1932,[5] Desomorphine was used in Switzerland under the brand name Permonid[6] and was described as having a fast onset and a short duration of action, with relatively little nausea or respiratory depression compared to equivalent doses of morphine.

Desomorphine

Desomorphine is derived from morphine where the 6-hydroxyl group and the 7,8 double bond have been reduced.[5] The traditional synthesis of desomorphine starts from α-chlorocodide, which is itself obtained by reacting thionyl chloride with codeine. By catalytic reduction, α-chlorocodide gives dihydrodesoxycodeine, which yields desomorphine on demethylation.[7][8] Recreational use[edit] Necrotizing fasciitis. Necrotizing fasciitis (/ˈnɛkrəˌtaɪzɪŋ ˌfæʃiˈaɪtɪs/ or /ˌfæs-/) or NF, commonly known as flesh-eating disease or flesh-eating bacteria syndrome,[1] is a rare infection of the deeper layers of skin and subcutaneous tissues, easily spreading across the fascial plane within the subcutaneous tissue.

Necrotizing fasciitis

The most consistent feature of Necrotizing Fasciitis was first described in 1952 by Wilson, as necrosis of the subcutaneous tissue and fascia with relative sparing of the underlying muscle.[2] Necrotizing fasciitis progresses rapidly, having greater risk of developing in the immunocompromised due to conditions such as diabetes or cancer.

It is a severe disease of sudden onset and is usually treated immediately with surgical debridement and high doses of intravenous antibiotics,[3] with delay in surgical treatment being associated with higher mortality. Historically, most cases of Type II infections have been due to group A streptococcus and staphylococcal species. Hysterical Literature: Session Two: Alicia. Björk - I Miss You.

List Of Google Now Commands & Smart Cards [Android] For the recently concluded Google I/O 2012, big G had quite a few tricks up its sleeve, and, rather unsurprisingly, most of the announcements made at the event were based around Google’s fast-flourishing mobile OS, Android.

List Of Google Now Commands & Smart Cards [Android]

In terms of hardware, the Android community relished the arrival of the 7-inch Tegra 3-supported Nexus 7 tablet, whereas on the firmware front, it was the latest iteration of Android, Jelly Bean, that snatched the limelight. Besides all other new features and performance tweaks, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean brought with it a much improved, smarter and informative search assistant in the form of Google Now. Initially exclusive to only the aforementioned Nexus 7 tablet and a handful of other Android devices rocking Jelly Bean, a fully functional – yet unofficial – build of Google Now can now be installed on almost any rooted device running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (and above).

The specialty of Google Now lies in its knowledge-packed Smart Cards. General Knowledge. 57CFv.jpg (651×2401) Deal With it TV - Nick Koo. Anthropologists Reconstruct Diet of Early Human Ancestors. An international team of scientists has reconstructed dietary preferences of three groups of early hominins from the Cradle of Humankind, South Africa.

Anthropologists Reconstruct Diet of Early Human Ancestors

Reconstructions of Homo habilis, Australopithecus africanus and Paranthropus robustus (Edward Foster / John Gurche / Myartprints.com) The study, published online in Nature, sheds more light on the diet and home ranges of early hominins belonging to three different genera – Australopithecus africanus, Paranthropus robustus and early Homo – that were discovered at sites such as Sterkfontein, Swartkrans and Kromdraai in the Cradle of Humankind, about 50 km from Johannesburg.

The anthropologists conducted an analysis of the fossil teeth, indicating that Australopithecus, a predecessor of early Homo, had a more varied diet than early Homo. Its diet was also more variable than the diet of another distant human relative Paranthropus. Strontium and barium levels in organic tissues, including teeth, decrease in animals higher in the food chain.

Hacking Vegas: 'MIT Mike' Aponte, professional blackjack instructor, teaches you to count cards. As a college senior in the early 1990's, Mike Aponte was invited to join the MIT Blackjack Team. Over its long and storied history, the team had developed sophisticated strategies for gaining an advantage over the casinos, combining team play with card counting — tallying the dealt cards to calculate whether the remaining cards favor the player or the blackjack dealer.

Card counting techniques have been in use at least since the 1960's and can give players a small but crucial advantage over the house. Makers: Inside The Thermovape Factory.

Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen (Chatroulette Version) The evolution of Chrome packaged apps. Just over a month ago, at Google I/O, we announced significant changes to Chrome’s packaged application platform.

These changes are intended to allow apps to break out of the browser, work offline by default, and enable richer, more immersive experiences. Check out our overview video for a quick intro to the new platform. With the latest version of Chrome in the developer channel, you can build, load, debug and test your apps without command-line flags, although you may need to enable experimental APIs in some cases. Because we’re still in developer preview mode, the Chrome Web Store doesn’t yet accept uploads of these new packaged apps.

We’ll enable web store support later this year, and when we flip that switch, users will be able to discover and download your apps directly from the store. Google Ventures Blog — The caller ID test.
