	Absence seizure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		People with absence epilepsy have repeated absence seizures that cause momentary lapses of consciousness.

		Some people with absence seizures have purposeless movements during their seizures, such as a jerking arm or rapidly blinking eyes.

	Childhood absence epilepsy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Childhood absence epilepsy is a genetic disorder of an unknown mode of transmission.
		Absences are provoked by an abnormal thalamo-cortical circuitry that activates abnormal oscillatory rhythms and generates the generalized 3-Hz spike-and-wave discharges (Danober et al 1998; Futatsugi and Riviello 1998).
		Doose and colleagues proposed a syndrome of absence epilepsy of early childhood (Doose et al 1965; Doose 1994); this is not recognized by the ILAE Task Force as an epileptic syndrome (Engel 2001).

	eMedicine - Absence Seizures : Article by Scott Segan, MD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Among the idiopathic, or primary, generalized epilepsies (ie, with age-related onset), absence seizures are seen in childhood absence epilepsy (CAE, or pyknolepsy), juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE), and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME, or impulsive petit mal seizures).
		In symptomatic generalized epilepsies, absence seizures are due to a wide variety of causes that, at an early stage of neural development, result in diffuse or multifocal brain damage.
		Absence seizures may be confused with complex partial seizures, especially in cases of prolonged seizures with automatisms (see Table 2).

	Audit Report - Absence Management in the Australian Public Service (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		One irony of unscheduled absence is that the primary cause may be the attitudes of, and action, or lack of action, by the supervisor/manager.
		Staff in those agencies where absence levels are never reviewed, or are only infrequently reviewed, may perceive that there is a lack of management commitment to, and accountability for, reducing an apparently high rate of unscheduled absence in their agency.

		In my novels, this is often depicted as a clash of innocence with the bewildering problem of sudden absence in some form—a lost brother, an absent mother, a dying father, etc.—and the lost worlds that ensue as a result.
		Absence is the most natural of phenomena, in that every presence begets an absence.
		Yet absence is at the root of all of the hardest things we have to face—deaths, breakups, any kind of separation.

	20th WCP: On Reading Valedictory Texts: Suicide Notes, Last Wills and Testaments
		The reader is left with questions and anxiety at her own incomprehension of a text that is simultaneously radically open, because of the inevitable ambiguities of written language, and yet also radically closed, since the single authoritative source for confirmation, whose intentions with respect to language were hardly playful, is forever absent.
		It is a deprivation that the disappointed addressees often creatively seek to remedy, even to the point of coercing the last casual spoken words exchanged with the now-absent speaker until it renders a final valedictory message.
		Greater than any of the punitive measures taken by the State is the problem of the absence of explanation, the absence of accounting, the absence of a word iterable and re-iterable.

	Dälek: Absence - PopMatters Music Review
		The musical interludes on the album are especially interesting, as "Absence" and "Köner" sound derived from the more ambient work by Krautrock masters Can (think "Aumgn", but on a much smaller scale).
		Possessing a directness in delivery and in rhyme that bears a strong similarity to Chuck D, KRS-1, and Saul Williams, Dälek's sermonizing is often enthralling.
		Absence is another bold step for one of hip-hop's most inventive acts, and it's immediacy, anger, and grotesque beauty will not be lost to anyone who hears it.

	On Tele-absence
		Whatever their differences, the intent behind all of these projects is to negate a human absence by replicating or extending a physical presence, amounting to a sort of social pseudo-contact.
		Absence may not need to be filled; it may need to be embraced.
		This psychological basis of human telepresence makes sense to me when I think about Elijah, precisely because the reality of religious phenomena for any one person is predicated upon their own belief.

	The Creole Origins of AAVE: Evidence from copula absence
		Categorical copula absence of this kind is virtually unheard of in modern US samples, so on the face of it, these data support the creolist position, particularly since first person copula absence does not occur in modern AAVE although it does in Barbadian, Jamaican, Trinidadian, and other Caribbean creoles (see Rickford and Blake 1990).
		Another is that the extent and patterning of copula absence in African American speech communities are unparalleled among the British populations from which Africans acquired their English, so that we cannot assume the direct transmission and smooth acquisition process which the alternative dialectologist position requires.
		Wolfram (1974:524), "copula absence in white Southern speech may have been assimilated from decreolizing fl speech." Thus the similarities between Southern White dialects and AAVE with respect to this feature do not work against the creolist and for the dialectologist hypothesis, as one might have assumed from the general principles outlined in the introductory section.

		"Absence" is an interesting record, Dalek's raps are rhythmically well execued and lyrically engaging-- again, without spontaneous or pointless use of vulgarity.
		The few limited reviews I read, before checking out Absence, led me to expect a kind of industrialish thing with bleak, brutal beats, a vaguely horrorshow feel - sort of a Swollen Members without the D&D vibe.
		Absence's production is darker and heavier than the previous release (if you can believe that) and Dalek himself continues to spit the socially conscious lyrics that drives the other half of the group's appeal.

	Ipecac Recordings - Dälek
		Quiet for almost a full year after constant DIY touring with such bands as Mike Patton's Tomahawk, ISIS, KRS-One, De La Soul, The Melvins, Grandmaster Flash, and fresh off of a landmark collaboration and release with Germany's krautrock legends Faust, dälek are back with their third and most sonically challenging full length to date, Absence.
		Expanding their sound and pulling from their influences, Absence recalls the best parts of Public Enemy and the Bomb Squad, the street poetry of KRS-1, the raw beats of Gang Starr and Mobb Deep, and the fearlessness of the avant garde, like Glenn Branca, My Bloody Valentine and Penderecki.
		If only Hip Hop aged like wine —— where Public Enemy sampling Slayer while spitting lyrics for the "Permanent Underclass" had informed and challenged younger artists who were socially conscious and musically aware, then maybe in 2004 dälek wouldn't seem so out of place.
