This is terribly sad news, but it is even sadder Charles, that you think the killers sparing the children makes this more terrifying than if they had just slaughtered the entire family.
Hooray FREEDOM!!
it IS more terrifying to spare the children. they live with the terror of the experience. their terror, shame, and motherlessness serves as an example to other afgani women not to challenge the misogyny & ignorance of the taliban.
america needs to wake the fuck up & either
A. begin brutalizing the populace on a larger & more terrifying scale than the jihadis., or
B. accept that the islamic world is going backwards in time, both as a reaction to our blundering & its own monotheist prison of ignorance, & isolate ourselves from it.
There's always option C:
Try and empathize with the middle east in order to see what is causing this kind of thinking, and then shift public mindset in a more positive direction- i.e. shift away from religious extremism to a truly free thinking society. (The secret to winning public opinion is always through marketing.)
Then of course, we'd have to do the same ourselves...
Uh, marketing? Jesus.
The secret to moving away from extremism is economic development and security.
If only some rich Western nations could devote some time and effort to Afghanistan, instead of getting distracted by some other pipe dream practically before they started.
Charles is exactly correct on two points: they were killing an idea, not a person, and sparing the children is far more terrifying. It makes the point of the incident much more terrifyingly clear: don't have that idea. Don't think. That way the seed of terror is planted in everyone's mind. No one will ever think of anything else.
The Quran doesn't say anything about shooting women in the head and chest as they sleep. These thugs need to be destroyed, physically, intellectually, and culturally. I'm afraid though that the light has gone out for good in Afghanistan.
Don't be confused- the killers weren't 'sparing the children' -because they didn't care about the children, living or dead. Killing a woman who is lying asleep with two children, and not shooting the kids just means they weren't worth the bullets. Extra bonus points- now the children live in fear and learned the hard way not to step out of line.
It's an interesting technique. Quite different from the Mafia's style of killing you and your family and everyone you know. Probably more effective in the long run, though the Mafia wasn't trying to effect total mind control, just economic obedience.
Killing that radio station woman is more effective than killing thousands of random villagers, too. You are killing the very thing that moves you AWAY from the mind control, the idea of communication and knowledge. They attack schools, mostly; same thing. God doesn't want you to go to school; he wants you to memorize the Quran.
Religion is nothing more than organized ignorance.
i agree with your idealism, but your option C is part of my option B.
it is not realistic to expect that, given our historically explicit identity as a christian nation, we can influence islam away from extremism towards an open mind. letting them develop their monotheism without our interference is, is fact, practicing empathy.
isolating ourselves from (as well as ceasing the funding of) a misogynist, medieval, intolerant monotheism is simply a sensible safety precaution.
oh, and yes, we should do the same thing ourselves.
but 70% of murka believes the bible is literally true, so don't hold your breath. this is generational change - you & i won't live to see reason & enlightenment triumph over faith & ignorance.
The first thing that needs to happen to change a population like Afghanistan's or Saudi Arabia's is a wider spread of education, because as it is now, the most educated individuals are the ones holding the power and directing these actions. You can't expect a bunch of uneducated mindless thugs to grasp Machiavellian concepts. Think about every senseless act of insane murder perpitrated by a massive group of fucking stupid, angry people. The more you know the more options you have to question this level of psychotic group think.

I don't know if I am going to get an answer or if this is possible but here goes.
On my old macbook pro, running Snow Leopard, I installed Windows 7 with bootcamp. The logic board crapped out on me so I bought a new Macbook Pro running Lion. I took the old hard drive, with my windows 7, out and put it in an enclosure. So now I am using it as an external hardrive.
The problem is I can't find my CD Key for that install of windows. I know how to get the CD Key when Im on Windows but I don't know how to boot it up again. I only have a USB connection on the external HD.
Here is what I have tried so far:
I tried to boot Windows by plugging in the external HD by USB, restarting and holding
option and then selecting it at the boot menu but I was unable to boot it. The windows icon started at the beginning but it said something about it not being installed on the original computer or something. I will have to try again to give you guys a more accurate analysis.
Is there a way to get the product key in my situation or am I screwed?

Thank you to Fair Haven's bestAugust 15,2014Thank you to
Fair Havens best
But for the grace of God and two brave police officers, I would not be writing this letter.
On July 22 at 3 a.m., I woke the same time as my dog and saw a monster red ball of fire engulfing my garage and could feel heat. I called 911 from the living room where Id been sleeping the last two weeks while waiting for a decision about a serious operation I needed. Within five minutes of calling, two police officers came into my home and said, You must leave with dog, etc. They both turned back on deck to check the garage for fire and saw the end of my home was smoking and a window was blown out.
They took my water hose on the deck and tried to keep my home from bursting into flames. I stood, hanging onto my walker and saw heat vapors around both men. I was now in shock. One ran back in and said, Dawn, you must leave with me. Now, several times. He called for the other officer to help him to get me out with the dog. At this moment, two fire trucks arrived with an ambulance. Two men from the rescue squad took care of me while I wanted to know if both officers were OK.
These two men who saved me and my home until the firemen arrived turned out to be not both Fair Haven officers. Officer Rieble (sp?) was our own, while the other was Constable Brian Lewis from Irasburg.
How do you thank them enough? And how do you thank the rescue squad and Fire Chief Ward and his also brave men who worked hard to save my home and put out the garage, which was a complete loss.
We dont know how brave they all are until we need them. This includes Police Chief Humphries, who worked tirelessly, too.
All of them saved my home, myself and animals. You all will hold a big place in my heart forever. A Safe Path to all of you.

Sharing the Costs: The Impact of Trade Reform on Capital and Labor in Morocco
The authors examine the impact of recent trade reforms. Although employment in the average private sector manufacturing firm was unaffected, there were significant employment losses to exporters and highly affected firms. Parastatals increased employment by hiring low-paid temporary workers. Many firms did not adjust wages or employment. The authors examine two possible explanations. First, barriers to labor market mobility could have impeded adjustment. Second, the authors develop a model of labor demand which allows for imperfect competition and endogenous technological change. Their results suggest that, although labor markets were flexible, many firms cut profit margins and raised productivity rather than reducing employment. Copyright 1997 by University of Chicago Press.

GSD Course Bulletin - Fall 2011
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:52:56.
Courses taught by Jeffrey Schnapp
03498: BIBLIOTHECA: The Library Past/Present/Future (DES 0349800)
Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Urban Planning and Design
Seminar - 4 credits - Limited enrollment
Wednesday 8:30 - 11:30 Gund L12
Jeffrey Schnapp, John Palfrey
Course Description
"Wisdom builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down" reads the lead verse of Proverbs 14.
The verse may serve as a doubly apt epigraph for a seminar devoted to the past, present, and future of the library as an institution. Apt because the first half has ornamented many a façade of a European library over the course of the past five centuries. Apt also because we live in an age in which digital forms of communication and media are quite literally exploding the prior culture of memory, with the demise of the printed book and the traditional library now a frequent topic of discussion.
What form should the library of the 21st century assume? Should it simply vanish into virtual desktops and merge into a timeless and placeless universal database? Should it adopt a double identity, bridging the worlds of print and digital documents, of physical presence and telepresence? Should it alter its identity and become a workshop, a laboratory, an innovation incubator where emerging and future forms interact and dialogue with the relics of the past? Or should it simply merge with the university itself as a place of knowledge production and reproduction? If so, where then should books "go" in the 21st century? And how about all the other "old media" that make up the record of human civilizations?
Informed answers to such questions require an understanding of libraries themselves, the practices that have shaped them, their systems of access, retrieval, and storage. For libraries are not just collections of documents and books, but also physical structures and, for that matter, infrastructures. Indeed, libraries are among the most venerable of building types, dating back to the ancient Near East. Their history is also that of cataloguing systems, vault and case designs, carrels and desks, viewing devices, lecterns, and the like.
Bibliotheca combines exploration of the history of the library as an institution of knowledge storage, retrieval and production with a design studio concerned with problem sets involving libraries on the Harvard campus as well as questions the future shape and functions of the library as an institution. The seminar is divided into three sections: the first is devoted to the history of libraries and library infrastructures; the second to case studies of major contemporary library projects; the third to brainstorming about design solutions to the real-world problems being confronted by the Harvard libraries.
Topics will include: libraries in the cultural imagination, library infrastructures from registers to card catalogues to digital catalogues, the history of shelving systems and lecterns, library architectures from the Library of Alexandria to the Digital Public Library of America.

Course Description
The Final Project will consist of a theoretical/position component, and of a practical/experimental component. The scope of each of the two components will be determined according to the student's preference, and considering the specific character of the project in consultation with the area coordinator and the advisor. In exceptional cases the final project may be solely based on (expanded in scope and ambition) a theoretical component. A theoretical, written component is required for all final projects. The final project is equivalent to 8 units of courseworkTheoretical/Position component-A written document presenting the original contribution to, and original argument for your artistic/design/research project defended within the context of current discourses in relevant disciplinary fields. The theoretical argument must present the original methodology of the project and position it in relation to:-Relevant present day artistic and design practices and their specific methodologies-Relevant theoretical and critical discourses (including your elaborations on relevant "pro" and "contra" positions)-The relevant historical tradition Practical/Experimental componentThis component involves an original artistic/design project conceived, developed and presented as a public presentation, exhibition, installation, performance, action, and intervention in a physical or/and electronic space. The public presentation is a crucial part of the final project and is required. The Final Project's printed presentation as publishable document (that contains the theoretical argument and a graphic and textual presentation of the practical/experimental component)is also required.

HOUMA Allegations that guards at Terrebonnes juvenile detention center had sex with teenage girl inmates in exchange for food, phone calls and other favors have now yielded four arrests, and authorities say more are imminent.
Terrebonne Parish Juvenile Detention Center
By Naomi King
Staff Writer
BUDGET: $2.77 million
Parish officials released plans this week to use $6.97 million in federal hurricane-recovery money to build a new juvenile-detention center closer to
U.S. 90 where land is higher and less prone to flooding.
Adult female inmates from the adjacent Ashland jail would move into the juvenile building.
No other parish-owned buildings are slated to receive a piece of the parishs $120 million in hurricane-recovery aid.
The center operates on money mainly from three sources dedicated taxes, state agencies and the parishs coffers. Local taxpayers contribute an annual .98-mill property tax and a separate .96-mill property tax specifically for the center. The budget estimates those two taxes bring in $1.2 million a year. Terrebonne taxpayers also pay for the detention center through the parishs general fund, which is contributing roughly $1.11 million.
Another $337,000 comes from the state Office of Youth Development and the Department of Corrections to house state juvenile inmates.
Source: Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government
Sheriffs Maj. Malcom Wolfe said detectives have documented accusations from at least five girls held at the center over the past year and as recently as a month ago.
Were receiving more information from victims and victims parents and by word of mouth, Wolfe said Wednesday. These girls are not in any shape or form connected, and their statements are consistent about how it took place.
Officials with Terrebonne Parish government, which owns and operates the center, refused to discuss the matter.
These corrections officers were arrested Tuesday:
- Sgt. Floyd Wesley Howard, 49, 1317 Division Ave., Houma, charged with molestation of a juvenile, indecent behavior with a juvenile and malfeasance in office.
- Darwin Jamal Brown, 23, 159 Elmira Court, Thibodaux, a corrections officer at the center, charged with two counts of malfeasance in office, molestation of a juvenile and three counts of indecent behavior with a juvenile.
- Officer Tiffani Denin Blakemore, 36, 3600 Friendswood Drive, Houma, charged with obstruction of justice for allegedly threatening one of the teenage inmates to get her not to cooperate with detectives in the investigation.
Last Thursday, sheriffs detectives arrested corrections officer Lt. Angelo Vickers, 47, 390 Monarch Drive, Houma. Vickers was charged with two counts each of molestation and malfeasance after two former inmates of the detention center, both teen girls, alleged they had sexual contact with him.
An additional charge was added Tuesday against Vickers after a 15-year-old former inmate told deputies she had sex with Vickers in exchange for privileges, deputies said. He remains jailed in lieu of a $400,000 bond.
Brown and Howard were arrested after deputies interviewed three 16-year-old inmates who said they had sex with them while incarcerated at the center, deputies said. Both workers are being held at the Terrebonne Parish jail in lieu of a $200,000 bond.
Blakemore remained jailed this morning, with her bond set at $50,000.
Relatives of the officers question the veracity of the allegations and describe their loved ones as outstanding public servants who would never use their positions in such a manner.
Jason Hutchinson, the centers director, said all four officers have been fired.
Were reeling from this, he said, adding that the firings have caused hardship at a center already suffering from staff shortages.
Hutchinson refused to discuss the cases Wednesday and also refused to answer questions about security issues.
Likewise steadfast in his refusal to talk about the matter was Terrebonne Parish President Michel Claudet.
Asked if parish government will look into questions arising from the arrests, or what steps it might be taking, Claudet repeatedly refused to respond. What part of no comment do we not understand? he told a Courier and Daily Comet reporter.
When Claudet took office in January 2008, he re-appointed Hutchinson, who has run the center since its construction was completed in 1997.
In 2007, Hutchinson became the first juvenile-corrections director in Louisiana and one of just seven nationwide to earn the American Correctional Associations certified juvenile corrections executive designation.
Unstable population
The center houses youths 17 and under who have been convicted of crimes that would otherwise land them in an adult jail. It also detains children awaiting court hearings and some charged with lesser offenses such as truancy or incorrigibility. With four classrooms, the center offers a GED program, art activities, team-building exercises and year-round classes covering math, finance, communication and language arts, hygiene, health and nutrition.
Officials have estimated that as many as 800 youngsters pass through its doors each year.
Workers in the parishs juvenile-justice system say much of the centers population can be described as unstable, with some suffering from mental illnesses requiring medication and close monitoring.
Asking not to be identified, those who spoke said detention-center employees who have served for many years are devastated by the arrests.
They look down at their shoes as if this reflects on them personally, one employee said.
Several former detainees contacted this week expressed doubts about the complaints due to their own encounters with security procedures and what they described as all-seeing surveillance cameras. Some are familiar with officers who were charged and expressed surprise.
He was pretty nice
Jasmine Walker, 16, spent two weeks there two months ago for various charges, including running away from home and skipping school.
During her stay, a female officer watched the girls dormitory at all times, she said. If the girls wanted to use the phone, they would often make a request with Vickers, whom she said more often than not granted permission.
He was pretty nice, Walker said, adding that Vickers never accompanied girls to the telephone in the front of the building, instead asking female officers to escort them.
She observed Vickers during his shift and said that while he would enter the boys dormitories, he rarely entered the area where girls stayed.
I dont think he would do that, said Walker, some of whose relatives are acquainted with Vickers. He has a daughter of his own. I dont think he would want anyone to hurt his daughter, so he wouldnt someone elses.
Walkers brother, Louis, 17, spent three months in the detention center last year for charges including truancy. Vickers spent much of his time in a security-camera room watching monitors, he said.
Male workers seldom entered the girls dormitory, he said, but they did on occasion. A male worker would watch until a female could arrive.
Unless they were short on the staff, they would send a man up in there, he said. They would send a man in there to watch until that person got there.
Vickers would speak with him on occasion, he said. He said a sexual relationship between the inmates and workers would be impossibly hard to do.
When I was up in there, I never heard anything bad about him, he said. He was cool.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies surface morphology. Biological material needs to be coated to render the material conductive, and gold coating is traditionally used, although other coating material like carbon and ruthenium vapors may also be used. With modern SEM technology (e.g., ZEISS ULTRA Plus FEG-SEM), we are able to work at very low kilovolts and also view fine surface structure in much better detail than with previous older technology. Some machines also allow for the study of uncoated material, although this is usually not done with biological material. This study focuses on surface clarity by comparing gold, ruthenium vapor, and carbon coating techniques for biological material. Human fibrin networks are used as example. Uncoated specimens are also viewed with a ZEISS ULTRA Plus FEG-SEM because of its unique nitrogen charge compensator, and here, the first micrographs for uncoated human fibrin networks versus carbon, gold, and ruthenium coating are shown. We conclude that gold coating for biological material is not preferable with the latest SEM machines, as this method forms gold islands on top of the biological material and therefore produces a false surface morphology.

Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Transmission
A type of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY in which the object is examined directly by an extremely narrow electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point and using the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen to create the image. It should not be confused with SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
Microscopy, Electron, Scanning
Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
Microscopy, Electron
Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen.
Microscopy, Scanning Probe
Scanning microscopy in which a very sharp probe is employed in close proximity to a surface, exploiting a particular surface-related property. When this property is local topography, the method is atomic force microscopy (MICROSCOPY, ATOMIC FORCE), and when it is local conductivity, the method is scanning tunneling microscopy (MICROSCOPY, SCANNING TUNNELING).
Microscopy, Scanning Tunneling
A type of scanning probe microscopy in which a very sharp conducting needle is swept just a few angstroms above the surface of a sample. The tiny tunneling current that flows between the sample and the needle tip is measured, and from this are produced three-dimensional topographs. Due to the poor electron conductivity of most biological samples, thin metal coatings are deposited on the sample.

Abney finally breaks through with record-tying kick return
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Derek Abney didn't realize how much pressure he'd put on himself to return a kick for a touchdown this season until he actually did it.
When Abney reached the end zone -- with a little assistance from teammate Andrew Hopewell -- to cap an 80-yard return last Saturday against Mississippi State, his celebration "was a little more than I expected it to be.
"I don't want to say I really thought about it, thinking, 'Oh, I'm not going to get one.' But when I did get that one, I really got excited and celebrated a lot more than I had before or thought I would," Abney said.
After a 2002 season during which he had an NCAA-record six kick return touchdowns and received first-team All-America honors, big things were expected of the senior from Mosinee, Wis.
Needing only one return to tie the NCAA career record of eight kick return scores, though, Abney quickly learned most teams weren't interested in kicking to him. Florida did, and Abney returned a punt for a touchdown, but a penalty wiped out that return.
"I was real frustrated that we didn't get a lot of chances," Abney said. "I knew that people would prepare for our special teams, but I was kind of hoping for more chances than we had gotten during a game."
He finally got his chance against Mississippi State. Abney retreated to field the punt at his own 20, cut right across the field and headed for the sideline. He ran into a logjam at about the 10, but an Earven Flowers block and a little push from Hopewell got Abney into the end zone.
The touchdown gave Kentucky (4-4, 1-3 Southeastern Conference) the lead for the first time in a game the Wildcats went on to win 42-17.
"I think that gave our whole team a lift," Kentucky coach Rich Brooks said. "He made a great run and we got some key blocks on that return, but the last seven or eight yards was all guts and determination to get to the end zone."
The SEC named Abney as its special teams player of the week -- the fourth time in two years he's received that honor.
"He has been so much fun to watch," Kentucky quarterback Jared Lorenzen said. "He'll tell you, it's not about him, it's about the return guys blocking for him. But he's a great player, too."
The numbers back up Lorenzen's claim. Abney is one of only three NCAA Division I-A players to account for 2,000 receiving yards, 1,000 kickoff return yards and 1,000 punt return yards in a career. (Anthony Carter of Michigan and Tim Dwight of Iowa are the others.) At 165.9 yards per game, Abney is second nationally in all-purpose yards.
The Wildcats will try to use the momentum from the Mississippi State game as they head into their final four games of the season, starting Saturday with Arkansas (4-3, 1-3).
"They're coming off three losses and they'll be ready for us," Abney said. "Hopefully we can use special teams as kind of a momentum thing during the game, too."
Abney helped the Wildcats beat Arkansas 29-17 last year in Fayetteville, Ark. He had a 37-yard punt return to set up one touchdown and then his 86-yard return for a touchdown was part of a 20-point third quarter.
"Derek Abney is a tremendous threat," Arkansas coach Houston Nutt said. "We have to do a great job with our coverage teams. He's a special guy. He can make them miss and he's got great quickness and he's been an unbelievable threat on punt returns and kickoff returns."
Brooks said one of the team's goals is to give Abney outright ownership of the NCAA kick return record he now shares with Cliff Branch of Colorado (1970-71) and Johnny Rodgers of Nebraska (1970-72). Other standout returners also chasing the record include Antonio Perkins of Oklahoma and Wes Welker of Texas Tech, who each have seven returns (all punts) for touchdowns in their careers. Perkins is a junior; Welker a senior.
"Of course that's competition," Abney said. "You still want to be the best ever. You still want to be the only one with nine. So yeah, it pushes you a little bit."

Yes, but this job you would get PAID for.
hard to find part time w benefits
I doubt if it was the no benefits so much as the "It's part time, but we want someone who will finish the job no matter how long it takes" part. Mom's already know that the 10 minute job turns into a major project. Besides, with these part time jobs, they want you to stay, then they complain about how many hours you worked and cut your time the following week.
I think she'll go with no.
So many jobs don't have benefits anymore. The backward trend of the future.
they were looking for free labor. :-D
First off, she's lookiing for the job to help pay the bills. Why would she need the benefits? Second, they're borderline on those bills, so a part-time job would still put them ahead financially, while providing some real-world experience to go on a resume'.

General Discussion
Rh disease or Rh incompatibility (also known as erythroblastosis fetalis) occurs when a woman with Rh-negative blood conceives a child with Rh-positive blood. Red blood cells are destroyed (hemolysis) because of this incompatibility, leading to anemia and other symptoms in the infant. Symptoms vary in severity among affected infants and may include an unusual yellowish coloration of the skin (jaundice); swelling of the chest and abdomen due to the accumulation of fluid (edema); and/or a pale appearance of the skin. In more severe cases, affected infants may have experience life-threatening complications. Rh disease occurs only when a mother's blood is Rh-negative and her baby's blood is Rh-positive.

Oil prices eased in Asia on Friday as traders cashed in on recent gains following signs of strengthening US energy demand and concerns over tensions in Syria, analysts said.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in June dropped 21 cents to $93.43 a barrel and Brent North Sea crude for June delivery shed 38 cents to $103.03 in morning trade.
"There has been a slight pullback in prices on profit taking," Michael McCarthy, chief market strategist at CMC Markets in Sydney, told AFP.
"We've seen some very strong gains in oil over the past few days, with US stockpiles data and news on Syria."
Oil prices jumped Thursday after the United States said Syrian government forces had likely used chemical weapons, raising worries that Washington would punish Damascus militarily.
Earlier in the week, crude markets had also been supported by lower-than- expected gain in US crude stockpiles, suggesting oil demand in the world's top crude consumer was on the path to recovery.

Cook leaves India mountain to climb
Keep up to date with England's npower Test series against India with our in-depth day-by-day reports - plus all the reaction, highlights and photos
Alastair Cook recorded England's sixth-highest Test score and best at Edgbaston, amassing 294 of a gargantuan 710 for seven declared – a first-innings lead of 486.
The left-hander batted for 767 minutes, faced 545 balls and struck 33 fours in eclipsing his 235 not out in November's Ashes Test at Brisbane and Peter May's unbeaten 285 here in 1957.
Cook was involved in three hundred partnerships, taking England's total in this series to eight compared to India's one – demonstrating the gulf between the teams in English conditions.
He shared a 222-run alliance with Eoin Morgan, who struck his second Test hundred in equally composed fashion to Cook's 19th.
Morgan's departure for 104 sparked a minor collapse of three wickets for 17 runs in 22 balls as Ravi Bopara and Matt Prior went cheaply.
However, Cook found another ally in Tim Bresnan, who helped him add 97 before Ishant Sharma ended the opener's epic innings, which began on Wednesday evening.
After Cook enjoyed his best, Virender Sehwag endured his worst. On his return to the side following shoulder surgery, Sehwag bagged a king pair when he edged James Anderson's second delivery to Andrew Strauss at first slip.
In-form Rahul Dravid picked up a trio of fours before the tourists closed day three on 35 for one, 451 in arrears, requiring a minor miracle to avoid defeat in the npower series and conceding their number-one Test status to England.
Prior to lunch Cook registered his second Test double ton, having resumed on 182 in a total of 456 for three.
Morgan, 44 overnight, soon went to his half-century with a scampered single off Praveen Kumar before a short rain delay.
When the action resumed Cook and Morgan rotated the strike sensibly against disciplined bowling, including from the again impressive Praveen.
Eleven overs went by without a boundary, principally due to Mahendra Singh Dhoni employing sweepers. During that time the hundred stand and Cook's double ton arrived, the latter via a clipped two to deep square-leg off Sreesanth.
Morgan eventually found the rope by driving Sreesanth between midwicket and mid-on. However, another shower followed, heralding lunch 10 minutes early.
Morgan cover-drove Sreesanth for a rare boundary as Dhoni's spread field again limited England's progress.
Cook was three short of a career-best score when the players were taken off for bad light. A power cut meant the new state-of-the-art floodlights, which were used earlier in the session, could not be turned on. However, the action resumed following a minor impasse and the lights soon shone.
So did Cook, who broke new ground with three off Amit Mishra. Immediately after, Morgan survived on 95 when his pull off the leg-spinner hit Gautam Gambhir at short-leg but the fielder could not catch the rebound.
The 200-stand came at the end of the over, shortly before Morgan's ton thanks to a swept single through midwicket off Mishra.
Morgan took Mishra and Suresh Raina for four, but perished in the latter's next over when he picked out Sehwag at cover.
Mishra then struck twice, trapping Bopara – in his first Test innings for two years – in front and enticing Prior to top-edge a slog-sweep to Sachin Tendulkar, running in from deep backward square-leg.
Cook kept ticking over alongside Bresnan, who hit a pair of fours off the spinners in the verge of tea.
India took the third new ball immediately after the interval, but Cook and Bresnan responded with a flurry of fours, Ishant and Sreesanth both going for two boundaries in an over.
After a second short light delay, Bresnan went to 50 - his second in succession in Tests - by driving Ishant over midwicket for six.
Cook's vigil was over when he chased a wide delivery only to locate Raina at deep point. Strauss immediately declared, leaving Bresnan on 53.
There were some sorry bowing returns with Sreesanth, Ishant and Mishra all conceding three figures. Only Praveen and Raina, with 2-98 and 1-83 respectively, were reasonable.

Episcleritis is a relatively common, benign, self-limited cause of red eye, due to inflammation of the episcleral tissues. There are two forms of this condition: nodular and simple. Nodular episcleritis is characterized by a discrete, elevated area of inflamed episcleral tissue. In simple episcleritis, vascular congestion is present in the absence of an obvious nodule.

Disease Entity[edit | edit source]
ICD-9 379.01 Episcleritis periodica fugax
ICD-9 379.02 Nodular episcleritis
Disease[edit | edit source]
Episcleritis is a relatively common, benign, self-limited inflammation of the episcleral tissues. There are two forms of this condition: nodular and simple. Nodular episcleritis is characterized by a discrete, elevated area of inflamed episcleral tissue. In simple episcleritis, vascular congestion is present in the absence of an obvious nodule.
The episclera is a fibroelastic structure consisting of two layers loosely joined together. The outer parietal layer, with the vessels of the superficial episcleral capillary plexus, is the more superficial layer. The superficial vessels appear straight and are arranged in a radial fashion. The deeper visceral layer contains a highly anastomotic network of vessels. Both of the vessel networks originate from the anterior ciliary arteries, which stem from the muscular branches of the ophthalmic artery. The episclera lies between the superficial scleral stroma and Tenon's capsule.
Etiology[edit | edit source]
Most cases of episcleritis are idiopathic. Approximately 26-36% of patients have an associated systemic disorder. These include collagen-vascular diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Reiter's syndrome, relapsing polychondritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and pustulotic arthro-osteitis), vasculitides (polyarteritis nodosa, temporal arteritis, Cogan's syndrome, Churg-Strauss syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, Behcet's disease), dermatologic disease (rosacea, pyoderma gangrenosum, Sweet's syndrome), metabolic disease (gout), and atopy. The most common collagen vascular disease association is with rheumatoid arthritis.Malignancies, usually T-cell leukemia and Hodgkin's lymphoma, can be associated with episcleritis. Foreign bodies and chemical injuries can also serve as inciting factors. Infectious agents do exist and include bacteria, mycobacteria, spirochetes (Treponema, Borrelia), Chlamydia, Actinomyces, fungi, herpes zoster & simplex, mumps, and chikungunya. Protozoa such as Acanthamoeba and Toxoplasmosis should be considered. Toxocara is another, albeit rare, cause. Lastly, medications such as topiramate and pamidronate can cause episcleritis.
Risk Factors[edit | edit source]
Both simple and nodular episcleritis primarily affect females; however, there are no specific risk factors for the disease.
General Pathology[edit | edit source]
In episcleritis, vascular congestion occurs in the superficial episcleral plexus. The episclera as well as Tenon's capsule become infiltrated with inflammatory cells. The sclera is spared.
Pathophysiology[edit | edit source]
The exact mechanism for episcleritis remains a mystery.
Primary prevention[edit | edit source]
There is no primary prevention for episcleritis.
Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
Add text here
History[edit | edit source]
Classically, patients 20-50 years old will present with either acute (simple episcleritis) or gradual (nodular episcleritis) onset redness in the eye, possibly associated with pain. In simple episcleritis, the episode usually peaks in about 12 hours and then slowly resolves over the next 2-3 days. It tends to recur in the same eye or both eyes at the same time; over time, the attacks become less frequent and, over years, disappear completely. The attacks may move between eyes. In nodular episcleritis, the redness is typically noted when the patient wakes up in the morning. Over the next few days, the redness enlarges, usually causing more discomfort, and takes on a nodular appearance. Episodes of nodular episcleritis are self-limited but tend to last longer than attacks of simple episcleritis.
Physical examination[edit | edit source]
The area of injection should be examined with the slit lamp. If the examiner uses a narrow, bright slit beam, nodular episcleritis can be distinguished from scleritis. In nodular scleritis, the inner reflection, which rests on the sclera and visceral layer, will remain undisturbed while the outer reflection will be displaced forward by the episcleral nodule. In scleritis, both of light beams will be displaced forward. Also important to note is that the nodule in episcleritis is freely mobile over the scleral tissue that lies underneath.
Signs[edit | edit source]
Episcleritis is characterized by an area of diffuse or sectoral, bright red or pink bulbar injection. This is in contrast to the violaceous hue of scleritis. Eyelid edema and conjunctival chemosis may be present.
Symptoms[edit | edit source]
Patients with episcleritis will report the acute or gradual onset of diffuse or localized eye redness, usually unilateral. Some may not report any other symptoms, while others may report discomfort, photophobia, or tenderness. Complaints of severe pain or ocular discharge should prompt reconsideration of the diagnosis of episcleritis.
Clinical diagnosis[edit | edit source]
Episcleritis is a clinical diagnosis, based primarily on history as well as external and slit lamp examination.
Diagnostic procedures[edit | edit source]
In practice, the differentiation of episcleritis and scleritis is often aided by the instillation of phenylephrine 2.5%. The phenylephrine blanches the conjunctival and episcleral vessels but leaves the scleral vessels undisturbed. If a patient's eye redness improves phenylephrine instillation, the diagnosis of episcleritis can be made. According to Krachmer et al, the phenylephrine 2.5% blanches conjunctival vessels, allowing the differentiation of conjunctivitis and episcleritis. Instillation of phenylephrine 10% will result in blanching of the superficial episcleral vascular network but not the deep plexus, thus distinguishing between episcleritis and scleritis.
Laboratory test[edit | edit source]
Single episodes of episcleritis do not require an extensive laboratory workup; however, patients who experience recurrent attacks and do not have any known associated diseases require systemic evaluation. The basic tests to order include rheumatoid factor, antinuclear antibody, serum uric acid, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), complete blood count with differential, VDRL/FTA-ABS, urinalysis, PPD, and a chest x-ray. The choice of tests to be done in specific patients should be tailored for each individual based on the history, review of systems, and examination.
Differential diagnosis[edit | edit source]
The differential for cases of episcleritis includes conjunctivitis, phlyctenular conjunctivitis, scleritis, and, rarely, and episcleral plasmacytoma. For nodular episcleritis, local causes such as a foreign body or granuloma should be ruled out as the causes for the episcleral nodule.
Management[edit | edit source]
Management is generally supportive alone.
General treatment[edit | edit source]
Episcleritis typically clears on its own without treatment and reassurance is the primary step in management. Some patients, however, may experience significant pain or discomfort or may dislike the appearance of the conditions. In such cases, supportive measures, such as cool compresses and iced artificial tears, or medical therapy can be initiated.
Medical therapy[edit | edit source]
Oral NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), typically 800 mg ibuprofen three times daily, are the mainstay of treatment for episcleritis. Alternative medications include indomethacin 75 mg twice daily or flurbiprofen 100 mg three times daily. Studies comparing topical flurbiprofen and ketorolac to placebo found no difference in effectiveness in resolving the injection. The use of weak topical steroids administered 4 times daily for approximately 2 weeks is sometimes employed, but this is controversial. Although they bring about a timely control of the condition, steroids may increase the risk of recurrence and cause 'rebound' redness followed by a more intense attack. In patients with collagen vascular disease, measures targeted at the underlying disease itself can achieve control of the episcleritis.
Episcleritis frequently occurs in the setting of dry eye syndrome and blepharitis and attention to these two underlying issues is likely to be of benefit.
Medical follow up[edit | edit source]
Regular follow-up is not required unless a patient does not notice any improvement in his or her symptoms. Most isolated episodes of episcleritis resolve completely over 2-3 weeks. Those cases that are associated with systemic disease can take on a more prolonged course with multiple recurrences.
Surgery[edit | edit source]
There are no surgical therapies for episcleritis.
Complications[edit | edit source]
Episcleritis is largely benign; however, there have been reports of a few complications in patients with recurrent disease. These include anterior and intermediate uveitis, as well as corneal dellen (adjacent an episcleral nodule) and peripheral corneal infiltrates (adjacent to episcleral inflammation). Declining vision, in the setting of episcleritis, is typically attributed to advancing cataracts. Glaucoma has also been noted in a minority of patients. Both cataracts and glaucoma could be related to steroid use as part of the management of episcleritis.
Prognosis[edit | edit source]
Episcleritis is a benign, self-limited condition that usually resolves completely over the course of a few weeks.

Postage stamps and postal history of San Marino
The postal history of San Marino can be traced to October 7, 1607, with the introduction of public postal services.[1] The republic's postal needs were handled by a post office in nearby Rimini, Italy; the first San Marino post office opened in 1833.[1]
When postage stamps were introduced in the mid-19th century, San Marino signed a postal treaty with Italy to use Italian stamps for its mail.[1] On March 2, 1877, a new agreement was signed between the two countries that enabled San Marino to issue its own stamps.[2]
The first San Marino postage stamps were a definitive stamp edition consisting of two designs covering seven denominations.[3] The stamps, which depicted the Three Towers of San Marino at Monte Titano, were created by the design firm Fratelli Pellas in Genoa and the stamps were printed on Italian watermarked paper by the Officina Carta e Valori in Turin.[2] Commemorative stamp editions were introduced in 1894.[2]
Over the years, the attractive designs of San Marino's stamps have been extremely popular with philatelists around the world.[4] It is estimated that 10% of the republic's revenue is generated by the sale of its postage stamps to international collectors.[5]

Fujitsu talks up visible IP address image recognition
Smartphone used to initiate data transfer
JAPANESE COMPUTER MAKER Fujitsu has announced a method to transfer files between devices simply by having a smartphone look at the data source.
Fujitsu announced its "intermediary image communications technology" as a way to transfer data from smartphones to other devices without the need for cabling or even internet access. The firm said that by pointing a smartphone at an image that has an IP address encoded within it, a connection between two devices can be established.
Fujitsu said that an IP address, one of the key network identifiers associated to all devices, can be encoded into images that are invisible to the human eye. According to the firm, a smartphone can decode the IP address coded within the image, setup a link to the data source and transfer data using any industry standard protocol.
The firm's key innovation is the encoding of IP addresses and other network identifier information within the image.
Fujitsu said, "The intermediary image communications technology superimposes microscopic light signals into the image, and by adjusting the number of these light signals, it can transmit information through the soft projection of light, similar to how optical communications work. The technology is used to convert communications data into signals that are invisible to the human eye, and superimpose them into the PC's desktop.
"Because the signal is superimposed in the desktop, no modifications to the original files are required."
Fujitsu said that it will try to productise the technology in 2014, and it plans to demonstrate the technology at next month's Mobile World Congress. µ

The Official ribbon cutting for Prospector's Grill & Saloon took place Friday afternoon in College Station.
Prospector's is now open in the 4.0 and Go shopping center on Texas and Southwest Parkway. Great environment for families throughout the day, and the perfect place for professionals to come after work with friends and/ or co-workers.
The co-owners of Prospector's both mentioned the importance of giving residents in the BCS a place to feel comfortable to go out, that wouldn't feel like a "Northgate" that's primarily made up of students. The friendly staff is well-equipped and is looking forward to making "usuals" out of many people in the community.
Live music, karaoke nights, and more with great food and drinks; can't beat that!
Official ribbon cuttings are brought to you by the B/CS Chamber of Commerce.
