Scabies (from Latin: scabere, "to scratch"),[1] also known colloquially as the seven-year itch,[2] is a contagious skin infection caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. The mite is a tiny, and usually not directly visible, parasite which burrows under the host's skin, causing intense allergic itching. The infection in animals other than humans is caused by a different but related mite species, and is called sarcoptic mange.
Scabies is classified by the World Health Organization as a water-related disease.[3] The disease may be transmitted from objects, but is most often transmitted by direct skin-to-skin contact, with a higher risk with prolonged contact. Initial infections require four to six weeks to become symptomatic. Reinfection, however, may manifest symptoms within as few as 24 hours. Because the symptoms are allergic, their delay in onset is often mirrored by a significant delay in relief after the parasites have been eradicated. Crusted scabies, formerly known as Norwegian scabies, is a more severe form of the infection often associated with immunosuppression.
Signs and symptoms[edit]
The characteristic symptoms of a scabies infection include intense itching and superficial burrows.[4] The burrow tracks are often linear, to the point that a neat "line" of four or more closely placed and equally developed mosquito-like "bites" is almost diagnostic of the disease.
In the classic scenario, the itch is made worse by warmth, and is usually experienced as being worse at night, possibly because there are fewer distractions.[4] As a symptom, it is less common in the elderly.[4]
The superficial burrows of scabies usually occur in the area of the hands, feet, wrists, elbows, back, buttocks, and external genitals.[4] Except in infants and the immunosuppressed, infection generally does not occur in the skin of the face or scalp. The burrows are created by excavation of the adult mite in the epidermis.[4]
In most people, the trails of the burrowing mites are linear or s-shaped tracks in the skin often accompanied by rows of small, pimple-like mosquito or insect bites. These signs are often found in crevices of the body, such as on the webs of fingers and toes, around the genital area, and under the breasts of women.[6]
Symptoms typically appear two to six weeks after infestation for individuals never before exposed to scabies. For those having been previously exposed, the symptoms can appear within several days after infestation. However, it is not unknown for symptoms to appear after several months or years.[7] Acropustulosis, or blisters and pustules on the palms and soles of the feet, are characteristic symptoms of scabies in infants.[6]
Crusted scabies[edit]
The elderly and people with an impaired immune system, such as HIV, cancer, or those on immunosuppressive medications, are susceptible to crusted scabies (formerly called Norwegian scabies).[4][7][8] On those with weaker immune systems, the host becomes a more fertile breeding ground for the mites, which spread over the host's body, except the face. Sufferers of crusted scabies exhibit scaly rashes, slight itching, and thick crusts of skin that contain thousands of mites.[9] Such areas make eradication of mites particularly difficult, as the crusts protect the mites from topical miticides, necessitating prolonged treatment of these areas.
The cause of Scabies[edit]
In the 18th century, Italian biologist Diacinto Cestoni (1637–1718) described the mite now called Sarcoptes scabiei, variety hominis, as the cause of scabies. Sarcoptes is a genus of skin parasites and part of the larger family of mites collectively known as scab mites. These organisms have eight legs as adults, and are placed in the same phylogenetic class (Arachnida) as spiders and ticks.
Sarcoptes scabiei mites are microscopic, but sometimes are visible as pinpoints of white. Pregnant females tunnel into the dead, outermost layer (stratum corneum) of a host's skin and deposit eggs in the shallow burrows. The eggs hatch into larvae in three to ten days. These young mites move about on the skin and molt into a "nymphal" stage, before maturing as adults, which live three to four weeks in the host's skin. Males roam on top of the skin, occasionally burrowing into the skin. In general, few mites usually occur on a healthy hygienic person infested with noncrusted scabies; about 11 females in burrows can be found on such a person.[10]
The movement of mites within and on the skin produces an intense itch, which has the characteristics of a delayed cell-mediated inflammatory response to allergens. IgE antibodies are present in the serum and the site of infection, which react to multiple protein allergens in the body of the mite. Some of these cross-react to allergens from house-dust mites. Immediate antibody-mediated allergic reactions (wheals) have been elicited in infected persons, but not in healthy persons; immediate hypersensitivity of this type is thought to explain the observed far more rapid allergic skin response to reinfection seen in persons having been previously infected (especially having been infected within the previous year or two).[11] Because the host develops the symptoms as a reaction to the mites' presence over time, usually a four– to six-week incubation period after the onset of infestation is found. As noted, those previously infected with scabies and cured may exhibit the symptoms of a new infection in a much shorter period, as little as one to four days.[12]
Scabies is contagious and can be spread by scratching an infected area, thereby picking up the mites under the fingernails, or through physical contact with a scabies-infected person for a prolonged period of time.[13] Scabies is usually transmitted by direct skin-to-skin contact. It can also be spread through contact with other objects, such as clothing, bedding, furniture, or surfaces with which a person infected with scabies might have come in contact.[14] Scabies mites can survive without a human host for 24 to 36 hours.[15] As with lice, scabies can be transmitted through sexual intercourse even if a latex condom is used, because it is transmitted from skin-to-skin at sites other than sex organs.[16]
The symptoms are caused by an allergic reaction of the host's body to mite proteins, though exactly which proteins remains a topic of study. The mite proteins are also present from the gut, in mite feces, which are deposited under the skin. The allergic reaction is both of the delayed (cell-mediated) and immediate (antibody-mediated) type, and involves IgE (antibodies, it is presumed, mediate the very rapid symptoms on reinfection).[10] The allergy-type symptoms (itching) continue for some days, and even several weeks, after all mites are killed. New lesions may appear for a few days after mites are eradicated. Nodular lesions from scabies may continue to be symptomatic for weeks after the mites have been killed.[10]
Scabies may be diagnosed clinically in geographical areas where it is common when diffuse itching presents along with either lesions in two typical spots or there is itchiness of another household member.[17] The classical sign of scabies is the burrows made by the mites within the skin.[17] To detect the burrow, the suspected area is rubbed with ink from a fountain pen or a topical tetracycline solution, which glows under a special light. The skin is then wiped with an alcohol pad. If the person is infected with scabies, the characteristic zigzag or S pattern of the burrow will appear across the skin; however, interpreting this test may be difficult, as the burrows are scarce and may be obscured by scratch marks.[17] A definitive diagnosis is made by finding either the scabies mites or their eggs and fecal pellets.[17] Searches for these signs involve either scraping a suspected area, mounting the sample in potassium hydroxide and examining it under a microscope, or using dermoscopy to examine the skin directly.[4]
Differential diagnosis[edit]
Symptoms of early scabies infestation mirror other skin diseases, including dermatitis, syphilis, various urticaria-related syndromes, allergic reactions, and other ectoparasites such as lice and fleas.[18]
Mass treatment programs that use topical permethrin or oral ivermectin have been effective in reducing the prevalence of scabies in a number of populations.[17] No vaccine is available for scabies. The simultaneous treatment of all close contacts is recommended, even if they show no symptoms of infection (asymptomatic), to reduce rates of recurrence.[17][17] Since mites can only survive for two to three days without a host, objects in the environment pose little risk of transmission except in the case of crusted scabies, thus cleaning is of little importance.[17] Rooms used by those with crusted scabies require thorough cleaning.[19]
A number of medications are effective in treating scabies; however, treatment must often involve the entire household or community to prevent reinfection.[17] Options to improve itchiness include antihistamines.[20]
Permethrin is the most effective treatment for scabies,[21] and is the treatment of choice.[17][22] It is applied from the neck down, usually before bedtime, and left on for about eight to 14 hours, then showered off in the morning.[17] One application is normally sufficient for mild infections. For moderate to severe cases, another dose is applied seven to 14 days later.[17][22][23] Permethrin causes slight irritation of the skin, but the sensation is tolerable.[4] The medication, however, is the most costly of topical treatments.[4]
Ivermectin is an oral medication shown by many clinical studies to be effective in eradicating scabies, often in a single dose.[3][17] It is the treatment of choice for crusted scabies, and is often used in combination with a topical agent.[4][17] It has not been tested on infants and is not recommended for children under six years of age.[4]
Topical ivermectin preparations have been found to be effective for scabies in adults, and are attractive due to their low cost, ease of preparation, and low toxicity.[24] It has also been useful for sarcoptic mange (the veterinary analog of human scabies).[25]
Other treatments include lindane, benzyl benzoate, crotamiton, malathion, and sulfur preparations.[4][17] Lindane is effective, but concerns over potential neurotoxicity has limited its availability in many countries.[4] It is approved in the United States for use as a second-line treatment.[26] Sulfur ointments or benzyl benzoate are often used in the developing world due to their low cost;[4] 10% sulfur solutions have been shown to be effective,[27] and sulfur ointments are typically used for at least a week.[4] Crotamiton has been found to be less effective than permethrin in limited studies.[4] Crotamiton or a sulfur preparation is often recommended instead of permethrin for children, due to concerns over dermal absorption of permethrin.[17]
Scabies is endemic in many developing countries,[28] where it tends to be particularly problematic in rural and remote areas. In such settings community wide control strategies are required to reduce the rate of disease, as treatment of only individuals is ineffective due to the high rate of reinfection. Large-scale mass drug administration strategies may be required where coordinated interventions aim to treat whole communities in one concerted effort.[29] Although such strategies have shown to be able to reduce the burden of scabies in these kinds of communities, debate remains about the best strategy to adopt, including the choice of drug.[29][30]
The resources required to implement such large-scale interventions in a cost-effective and sustainable way are significant. Furthermore, since endemic scabies is largely restricted to poor and remote areas, it is a public health issue that has not attracted much attention from policy makers and international donors.[29][30]
Scabies is one of the three most common skin disorders in children, along with tinea and pyoderma.[17] As of 2010 it affects approximately 100 million people (1.5% of the population) and is equally common in both genders.[31] The mites are distributed around the world and equally infect all ages, races, and socioeconomic classes in different climates.[9] Scabies is more often seen in crowded areas with unhygienic living conditions.[32] Globally as of 2009, an estimated 300 million cases of scabies occur each year, although various parties claim the figure is either over- or underestimated.[7][33] About 1–10% of the global population is estimated to be infected with scabies, but in certain populations, the infection rate may be as high as 50–80%.[17]
Scabies is an ancient disease. Archeological evidence from Egypt and the Middle East suggests scabies was present as early as 494 BC.[12][34] The first recorded reference to scabies is believed to be from the Bible (Leviticus, the third book of Moses) circa 1200 BC.[35] Later, in the fourth century BC, the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle reported on "lice" that "escape from little pimples if they are pricked";[36] scholars believe this was actually a reference to scabies.[who?]
Nevertheless, Greek physician Celsus is credited with naming the disease "scabies" and describing its characteristic features.[36] The parasitic etiology of scabies was later documented by the Italian physician Giovanni Cosimo Bonomo (1663–99 AD) in his famous 1687 letter, "Observations concerning the fleshworms of the human body".[36] With this discovery, scabies became one of the first diseases with a known cause.[12][34]
Society and culture[edit]
The International Alliance for the Control of Scabies was started in 2012,[30][37][38] and brings together over 70 researchers, clinicians and public health experts from more than 15 different countries. It has managed to bring the global health implications of scabies to the attention of the World Health Organization.[30] Consequently, the WHO has included scabies on its official list of neglected tropical diseases and other neglected conditions.[39]
Other animals[edit]
Scabies may occur in a number of domestic and wild animals; the mites that cause these infestations are of different subspecies.[4] These subspecies can infest animals or humans that are not their usual hosts, but such infections do not last long.[4] Scabies-infected animals suffer severe itching and secondary skin infections. They often lose weight and become frail.[10]
The most frequently diagnosed form of scabies in domestic animals is sarcoptic mange, which is found on dogs. This disease is caused by the subspecies Sarcoptes scabiei canis. Scabies-infected domestic fowl suffer what is known as "scaly leg". Domestic animals that have gone feral and have no veterinary care are frequently afflicted with scabies and a host of other ailments.[40] Nondomestic animals have also been observed to suffer from scabies. Gorillas, for instance, are known to be susceptible to infection via contact with items used by humans.[41]

We recommend cabinet grade plywood, because it's flat and stable. Cut a 24" x 36" sheet of 3/4" plywood, or prepare your benchtop surface. A light finish on the plywood base and body carriage will allow it to slide easily. Make the carriage glide even better with a little paste wax applied to both surfaces and all excess wiped off.

When used servers cost more than new
GALWAY, Ireland--Think of the Multis Group as sort of the Antiques Roadshow of the server world.
The Galway, Ireland-based company specializes in refurbishing, and then selling, used servers. Refurbished PCs and servers are increasingly in vogue because remanufacturing represents a more environmentally efficient way to recycle old electronics than harvesting components from these old machines or melting them down for raw materials.
Multis, in fact, plans to open a 70,000-square-foot facility in Union City, Calif., later this month to refurbish and sell servers for North American customers. That marks a reversal in the usual U.S.-Ireland tech relationship. … Read more

Wellness LC
The Wellness Learning Community offers students the opportunity to engage in the Jesuit tradition of cura personalis (care for the whole person). Students build community based on their shared interest in the dynamic process of becoming aware of, taking responsibility for, and making choices that contribute to their personal well being and the well being of the communities they engage in. Members of the learning community will develop an understanding for the integration of body, mind and spirit through exploration of cultural, emotional, environmental, intellectual, physical, social, spiritual and vocational wellness.
In 2014-2015, the Wellness Learning Community will be home to 110 first-year students who live together in one of our 5 first-year residence halls.
Activities and Programs
Students in the Wellness Learning Community engage in activities and events that explore the integration of body, mind, and spirit. Students have enjoyed taking a wellness tour of Chicago, exploring the YOU! The Experience exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry, and participating in the AIDs walk/run. Students explore the countless fitness opportunities offered through the Halas Recreation Center and become involved in the health promotion initiatives through the Wellness Center.
Curricular Requirements
The curricular requirements provide wonderful opportunities to connect through coursework with peers in the community but also ample opportunity to meet friends from outside the community. Faculty members who teach in the Wellness LC also participate with students in activities and events outside the classroom, allowing students to develop stronger relationships with faculty members from their first day on campus.
First-year students in the Wellness Learning Community take 4 credit hours together in the Fall semester and 3 credit hours together in the Spring semester. All courses required for the Wellness LC meet requirements for all degree programs at Loyola, so students from all majors are encouraged to participate. Special classes are offered in the Wellness LC for Nursing students, as other LC classes do not always fit into their curriculum.
2014-2015 Wellness LC Classes
- First-Year Classes
In the Fall 2013 Semester, first-year students in the Wellness LC will all take UNIV 101: First Year Seminar together. They will also choose one of the following classes:
Philosophy 181: Ethics (3 credits) - fulfills Ethics requirement of the COREUCWR 110: Writing Responsibly (3 credits) - fulfills the College Writing Seminar requirement of the CORE
- UCWR 110 will be taken by all Nursing students in the Wellness LC and will be offered as an option for others. Nursing students will not need to choose one of the other courses, but will also take UNIV 101 with the LC
Sociology 101: Sociology in a Global Age (3 credits) - fulfills the Tier 1 Societal and Cultural Knowledge requirement of the CORE

Bake Sale Success!!
The October bake sale was a huge success!
Due to the support of our volunteers and community, we raised $1600 at the sale yesterday. We could not be more pleased! In addition to baked goods, we also sold the few crafts left over this summers sale and our cookbook.
Thank you to the 25 plus bakers who made this event a success. Our house smelled SO good on Tuesday night! (We hoped to list your names, however we didn't get everyones names during the shuffle of the sale.) Thank you to the Old Capitol Mall for allowing us to continue to hold bake sales for the 3rd year in a row. Thank you to Mary Anne Sheets, Audrey Knox, Linda Aker, Cindy Dayton, Nancy Fisher, Hazel Kerr, Jen Evans, and The UI Chapter of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars for help setting up, tearing down and working this event. We appreciate you! A special thank you to Jane Fredericks, our fundraising chair, for planning another fantastic event!
Congratulations to all who participated. You deserve a round of applause. Just think of the beautiful blankets we can sew with $1600. Thanksgiving fabric sales, here we come!

Nail your next meeting with a (future) boss by looking the part! Here, see professional tips for what eye shadow shades and lipstick colors are most appropriate.
Whether you're a recent college grad or simply back on the market, applying for jobs is stressful enough. Agonizing over an upcoming meeting after you've snagged an interview? Even worse. Although we can't do much for your resumé, we can give you pointers on how to ace your makeup. Go ahead and relax a little: You have one less thing to worry about.
The team at Glossybox, a prestige beauty product subscription service, says that matte, neutral shades like browns, tans, and soft beiges are best. Opt for matte formulas, and "stay away from shimmer as it can be distracting." When it comes to eyeliner, go with traditional blacks and chocolates, and apply in a thin, soft line. "Stay away from colorful eyeliner," the pros advise. Vivid aqua and sparkling gold might look cool for a night out with pals, but reflect poorly on a future employee.
For your kisser, Glossybox experts recommend sheer lipsticks or tinted balms that are "close to your natural lip shade, like an everyday nude or soft rose." When heading into the corporate environment, it's best to let lippie enhance your look, not claim it (read: now's not the time to experiment with trendy tangerine). As far as gloss goes, use matte or satin finishes since traditional tubes can be distractingly shiny and don't look professional.
Nail Polish
In our eyes, a professional manicure is an indulgence warranted by stomach-churning pre-interview nerves. Before heading to the salon, settle on a color so you won't be tempted to reach for the season's latest blue or green. The Glossyboxers agreed, reminding us that neutrals are best here, too. Put down the neon purple and reach for a creamy beige or light pink instead.
What if you're interviewing for a creative position?
Obviously, there's a natural desire to show you're trendy without going overboard. We dig Glossybox's tip of applying safe, sandy shades to your eyes and then paying more attention to other areas of the face. "Focus on a lip or cheek look," the experts suggest. "Right now, coral lips are really big. Find a subdued, but still poppy, colored balm and blush. It's totally acceptable as long as it's done tastefully."
Good luck!

Top 25 Reasons Your Submissions are Rejected
1. An opening image that did not work.
2. Opened with rhetorical question(s).
3. The first line is about setting, not about story.
4. The first line's hook did not work, because it was not tied to the plot or the conflict of the opening scene.
5. The first line's hook did not work, because it was an image, rather than something that was happening in the scene.
6. Took too long for anything to happen (a critique, incidentally, leveled several times at a submission after only the first paragraph had been read); the story taking time to warm up.
7. Not enough happens on page 1
8. The opening sounded like an ad for the book or a recap of the pitch, rather than getting the reader into the story.
9. The opening contained the phrases, "My name is…" and/or "My age is…"
10. The opening contained the phrase, "This can't be happening."
11. The opening contained the phrase or implication, "And then I woke up."
12. The opening paragraph contained too much jargon.
13. The opening contained one or more clichéd phrases.
14. The opening contained one or more clichéd pieces of material. (The most I counted in a single submission was 5.) Specifically singled out: a character's long red or blonde hair.
15. The opening had a character do something that characters only do in books, not real life. Specifically singled out: a character who shakes her head to clear an image, "he shook his head to clear the cobwebs."
16. The opening has the protagonist respond to an unnamed thing (e.g., something dead in a bathtub, something horrible in a closet, someone on the other side of her peephole…) for more than a paragraph without naming it, creating false suspense.
17. The characters talk about something (a photo, a person, the kitchen table) for more than a line without describing it, creating false suspense.
18. The unnamed protagonist cliché: The woman ran through the forest…
19. An unnamed character (usually "she") is wandering around the opening scene.
20. Non-organic suspense, created by some salient fact being kept from the reader for a long time (and remember, on the first page, a paragraph is a long time).
21. The character spots him/herself in a mirror, in order to provide an excuse for a physical description.
22. The first paragraph was straight narration, rather than action.
23. Too much physical description in the opening paragraph, rather than action or conflict.
24. Opening spent too much time on environment, and not enough on character.
25. The first lines were dialogue. (To be fair, only one of the agents seemed to have a problem with this.)
This is Why I Would Read Beyond Page 1:
1. A non-average character in a situation you wouldn't expect.
2. An action scene that felt like it was happening in real time.
3. The author made the point, then moved on.
4. The scene was emotionally engaging.
5. The voice is strong and easy to relate to.
6. The suspense seemed inherent to the story, not just how it was told.
7. "Good opening line."
8. "There was something going on beyond just the surface action."
For explanations.

Beginnings are tough. Thanks for this advice.
Terry's Place
Romance with a Twist--of MysteryWow! Great stuff, especially considering that the opening of any book is often the most difficult to write. I do disagree with the person who rejected a manuscript based on its opening with dialogue. This approach can be powerful if it leads smoothly into the story because you get an immediate sense of character (a whole lot more than "spiky purple hair and large green eyes").
An excellent point that weaves through this post is marketability. If we can't get our manuscripts past an agent or publisher, they will never reach our readers in book form (if we're going the traditional pub route). Since marketing should play into our plan unless we're writing solely for our own pleasure or expression, we need to take to heart the turn-offs that send our manuscripts from the slush pile to file 13 (aka wastebasket). We also need to remember—if we're self-publishing—that readers may reject our books for these same reasons. We mustn't dismiss them as irrelevant just because we're taking an alternate path to publication.
Thank you for sharing, Heidi.Interest and informative post. You always have something important to tell us here!
MaryMontagueSikesSomewhere down the line while enrolled at Long Ridge Writers Group and working my way through the course manual and textbooks, I came across the advice to begin with dialogue. So, sometimes I do.
Too bad writers can't read an editor's mind in advance and know which route to take. Could save us all a lot of wasted time.
Respectfully submitted,
Wanda Morrow Clevenger
Published author of twenty-three short pieces of fiction, non, and poetry to date.Hello, Heidi: I'm flattered that you thought the list I posted on my blog was useful enough to reproduce here in its entirety, but the implication of your lead-in was that this was a list generated and handed out at the Surrey contest. It was not. I sat and listened to a couple of hours' worth of commentary on first pages and boiled it down to a list for the benefit of my blog's readers.
Surrey is an excellent conference, but what you have reproduced here is actually my writing. I appreciate the link, naturally, but standard blogging etiquette does dictate including the author's name when quoting to this extent. Thanks for sharing it with your readers, though!- Della BarrettNovember 23, 2010 at 8:33 PM
Thanks for the post Heidi (and Anne Mini). I was unable to attend the Writer's Conference in Surrey, so I appreciate this all the more.
Great! - AnonymousDecember 15, 2010 at 3:44 PM
Of course, I'm sure we can find quite successful books that break each and every one of these rules.
I'm not sure what that says about agents.
The 'cobweb objection' is quite ridiculous. I like your list better than theirs. I think the 25 tips above, prior to yours, are a little too much pretension. The Shining atsrted off with setting and an interview rather than the story(ie - it set the stage). The Guns of the South gave a lot of backstory before getting into any action. By the rules listed, I don't even think Lord of the Rings could get by them today.
The more I see what agents and publishers dismiss a book for, the less I think they understand what motivates a reader to get into a story.Very sound advice, but I would like to add that there is no accounting for taste, a friend of mine reads stories that I have found boring: An action scene with tiny info dumps in between blows where the protagonist admits he is going to die three quarters of the way through. The author (USA)was a judge in a short story contest who rejected one of my submissions. Oh, I agreed with him, there was "too much happenning" so I've cut it short and will be submitting it (somewhere else) in October.
Openings! I write from the soul, I don't have a method, dialogue, action, it depends on the story, as does the first or third person tense and always past perfect.
Thanks for the info.
Thomas.- Gerry CappaSeptember 20, 2012 at 2:31 AM
Interesting, but maybe this explains why so much published work is predictable, derivative, banal or formulaic.
And if editors/agents are so smart, where are all the masterpieces they have wrought through these hurdles?
Would many writers be better writers if they just held true to their inner writing voice rather than start from the position where they second guess what an agent/editor will like?
I suppose it depends on the writer's motivation. Is getting that publishing deal (however mediocre) more important than producing a piece of work that is true to yourself? I agree with what Gerry Cappa says.
I went on a short writing course and was told to write a poem. I did, the lecturer then pulled it to pieces and changed this and this and this...end product - it was his poem in his style, not mine. He did the same to others in the room until all pieces followed the same form, it wasn't very inspirational and nothing stood out. During coffee break we all decided we preferred our own versions of our work and felt like we'd wasted our time. To be individual is the key....not to follow some pre-decided formula.... readers find that predictable.

When the Sovereign Debt Bubble Bursts, Things Will Get Nasty
What do Greece and an unemployed homeowner in Arizona have in common? They are both bankrupt with no hope of ever being able to pay back what they owe. As I wrote this, I realised it sounded as though I were making a joke (and a bad one at that). The reality is, unfortunately, not funny in any sense, but actually far more worrying.

I'm responding to the fairy tale written about support for the present occupant of the Oval Office. I'm voting against the man who allowed four American citizens to be murdered in Libya. I'm voting against the candidate who pays his female staff 18 percent less than their male counterparts! I'm voting for the man who doesn't think American taxpayers should pay for a female college students amorous and promiscuous lifestyle! I'm voting for the man who thinks that it takes a man and a woman to conceive a child therefore both parties should have a say in the child conceived. I'm voting for the man who wants to preserve Medicare and Social Security for future Americans! I'm voting for the man who believes taxpayers shouldn't have to support people who choose to live off of their fellow taxpayers!
I'm voting for the man who knows the difference between lies and the truth. The one who doesn't look into the camera and lies whenever he flaps his gums! And yes I'm voting for the man who doesn't think 32,000 dead and tens of thousands of illegal alien Floridians should have the privilege of voting in a presidential election.

Had been looking for a long time...
August 02, 2011
I've had a lot of problems with sports bras chaffing during long runs. They also are the first thing to get wet and sweaty and they stay wet and sweaty for the duration. After trying many different types and brands, I finally stumbled across this one and couldn't be more pleased -- and relieved. I am going to order a couple more and get rid of all the other offending ones. Yeah!
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Great valueVentilator Mesh Bra
July 08, 2012
Wasn't impressed with this one. Nice material but the fabric on the outside bunched up and showed unflattering wrinkles in my athletic shirts. Normally I love this brand. Will try again!

New Seesmic Desktop supports Facebook fan pages
There are a handful of Twitter apps out there that can also update Facebook statuses, and no clear market leader, but the new build (version 0.6) of Seesmic Desktop may soon be the app of choice for marketers who use Twitter and Facebook for brand promotion. That's because it can now manage activity on Facebook's "fan pages" as well as personal profiles, meaning that the operators of these pages can update them in sync with Twitter accounts.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

The Arkansas Junior High School Rodeo Association will host an event Saturday at the Saline County Fairgrounds. The junior rodeo, which will be broken into two performances (9 a.m. and 1 p.m.), serves as the regional finals that count toward points for the year-end finals. AJHSRA Board of Director Jim Lee of Benton said the top four from each event will be invited to the national finals, which will be held Monday, June 27, through Saturday, July 2, at Gallup, New Mexico.
For Friday's game against Pine Bluff, the goal is simple: Don't underestimate the Zebras. Coach Mark Balisterri said that Wednesday, even though the Panthers beat them 10-0 earlier this season. "If we go out there and play our game and don't let them hang around, then we should be good," Balisterri said. "My main concerned is being focused for the game. "Pine Bluff is Pine Bluff, and they have been beating people for years. Even when they are down, they always beat people they aren't supposed to beat." Point and case is Pine Bluff's 6-3 win over El Dorado Tuesday night.

A Byte of Python
'A Byte of Python' is a free book on programming using the Python language. It serves as a tutorial or guide to the Python language for a beginner audience. If all you know about computers is how to save text files, then this is the book for you.
This book is written for the latest Python 3, even though Python 2 is the commonly found version of Python today (read more about it in Python 2 versus 3 section).
Who Reads A Byte of Python?
Here are what people are saying about the book:
This is the best beginner's tutorial I've ever seen! Thank you for your effort.

Recently started reading a Byte of python. Awesome work. And that too for free. Highly recommended for aspiring pythonistas.

A Byte of Python, written by Swaroop. (this is the book I'm currently reading. Probably the best to start with, and probably the best in the world for every newbie or even a more experienced user.
-- Apostolos
Thank you so much for writing A Byte Of Python. I just started learning how to code two days ago and I'm already building some simple games. Your guide has been a dream and I just wanted to let you know how valuable it has been.
-- Franklin
I'm from Dayanandasagar College of Engineering (7th sem, CSE). Firstly i want to say that your book "The byte of python" is too good a book for a beginner in python like me.The concepts are so well explained with simple examples that helped me to easily learn python. Thank you so much.
-- Madhura
I am a 18 year old IT student studying at University in Ireland. I would like to express my gratitude to you for writing your book "A Byte of Python", I already had knowledge of 3 programming langagues - C, Java and Javascript, and Python was by far the easiest langague I have ever learned, and that was mainly because your book was fantastic and made learning python very simple and interesting. It is one of the best written and easy to follow programming books I have ever read. Congratulations and keep up the great work.
-- Matt
Hi, I'm from Dominican Republic. My name is Pavel, recently I read your book 'A Byte of Python' and I consider it excellent!! :). I learnt much from all the examples. Your book is of great help for newbies like me...

I am a student from China, Now ,I have read you book A byte of Python, Oh it's beautiful. The book is very simple but can help all the first learnners. You know I am interesting in Java and cloud computing many times, i have to coding programm for the server, so i think python is a good choice, finish your book, i think its not only a good choice its must use the Python. My English is not very well, the email to you, i just wanna thank you! Best Wishes for you and your family.
-- Roy Lau
I recently finished reading Byte of Python, and I thought I really ought to thank you. I was very sad to reach the final pages as I now have to go back to dull, tedious oreilly or etc. manuals for learning about python. Anyway, I really appreciate your book.
-- Samuel Young (sy-one-three-seven-at-gmail-dot-com)
Dear Swaroop, I am taking a class from an instructor that has no interest in teaching. We are using Learning Python, second edition, by O'Reilly. It is not a text for beginner without any programming knowledge, and an instructor that should be working in another field. Thank you very much for your book, without it I would be clueless about Python and programming. Thanks a million, you are able to 'break the message down' to a level that beginners can understand and not everyone can.
-- Joseph Duarte (jduarte1-at-cfl-dot-rr-dot-com)
I love your book! It is the greatest Python tutorial ever, and a very useful reference. Brilliant, a true masterpiece! Keep up the good work!
-- Chris-André Sommerseth
I'm just e-mailing you to thank you for writing Byte of Python online. I had been attempting Python for a few months prior to stumbling across your book, and although I made limited success with pyGame, I never completed a program.
Thanks to your simplification of the categories, Python actually seems a reachable goal. It seems like I have finally learned the foundations and I can continue into my real goal, game development.
Once again, thanks VERY much for placing such a structured and helpful guide to basic programming on the web. It shoved me into and out of OOP with an understanding where two text books had failed.
-- Matt Gallivan (m-underscore-gallivan12-at-hotmail-dot-com)
I would like to thank you for your book 'A byte of python' which i myself find the best way to learn python. I am a 15 year old i live in egypt my name is Ahmed. Python was my second programming language i learn visual basic 6 at school but didn't enjoy it, however i really enjoyed learning python. I made the addressbook program and i was sucessful. i will try to start make more programs and read python programs (if you could tell me source that would be helpful). I will also start on learning java and if you can tell me where to find a tutorial as good as yours for java that would help me a lot. Thanx.
-- Ahmed Mohammed (sedo-underscore-91-at-hotmail-dot-com)
A wonderful resource for beginners wanting to learn more about Python is the 110-page PDF tutorial A Byte of Python by Swaroop C H. It is well-written, easy to follow, and may be the best introduction to Python programming available.
-- Drew Ames in an article on Scripting Scribus published on Linux.com
Yesterday I got through most of Byte of Python on my Nokia N800 and it's the easiest and most concise introduction to Python I have yet encountered. Highly recommended as a starting point for learning Python.
-- Jason Delport on his weblog
Byte of Vim and Python by @swaroopch is by far the best works in technical writing to me. Excellent reads #FeelGoodFactor
-- Surendran says in a tweet
"Byte of python" best one by far man
(in response to the question "Can anyone suggest a good, inexpensive resource for learning the basics of Python? ")
-- Justin LoveTrue says in a Facebook community page
"The Book Byte of python was very helpful ..Thanks bigtime :)"
-- Chinmay
Always been a fan of A Byte of Python - made for both new and experienced programmers.
i started learning python few days ago from your book..thanks for such a nice book. it is so well written, you made my life easy..so you found a new fan of yours..thats me :) tons of thanks
Hello Swaroop,
Thank you ever so much for this book!!
This book cleared up many questions I had about certain aspects of Python such as object oriented programming.
I do not feel like an expert at OO but I know this book helped me on a first step or two.
I have now written several python programs that actually do real things for me as a system administrator. They are all procedural oriented but they are small by most peoples standards.
Again, thanks for this book. Thank you for having it on the web.
-- Bob
I just want to thank you for writing the first book on programming I've ever really read. Python is now my first language, and I can just imagine all the possibilities. So thank you for giving me the tools to create things I never would have imagined I could do before.
-- "The Walrus"
I wanted to thank you for writing 'A Byte Of Python' (2 & 3 Versions). It has been invaluable to my learning experience in Python & Programming in general.
Needless to say, I am a beginner in the programming world, a couple of months of self study up to this point. I had been using youtube tutorials & some other online tutorials including other free books. I decided to dig into your book yesterday, & I've learned more on the first few pages than any other book or tutorial. A few things I had been confused about, were cleared right up with a GREAT example & explanation. Can't wait to read (and learn) more!!
Thank you so much for not only writing the book, but for putting it under the creative commons license (free). Thank goodness there are unselfish people like you out there to help & teach the rest of us.

I wrote you back in 2011 and I was just getting into Python and wanted to thank you for your tutorial "A Byte of Python". Without it, I would have fallen by the wayside. Since then I have gone on to program a number of functions in my organization with this language with yet more on the horizon. I would not call myself an advanced programmer by any stretch but I notice the occasional request for assistance now from others since I started using it. I discovered, while reading "Byte" why I had ceased studying C and C++ and it was because the book given to me started out with an example containing an augmented assignment. Of course, there was no explanation for this arrangement of operators and I fell on my head trying to make sense of what was on the written page. As I recall it was a most frustrating exercise which I eventually abandoned. Doesn't mean C or C++ is impossible to learn, or even that I am stupid, but it does mean that the documentation I worked my way through did not define the symbols and words which is an essential part of any instruction. Just as computers will not be able to understand a computer word or computer symbol that is outside the syntax for the language being used, a student new to any field will not grasp his subject if he encounters words or symbols for which there are no definitions. You get a "blue screen" as it were in either case. The solution is simple, though: find the word or symbol and get the proper definition or symbol and lo and behold,the computer or student can proceed. Your book was so well put together that I found very little in it I couldn't grasp. So, thank you. I encourage you to continue to include full definitions of terms. The documentation with Python is good, once you know, (the examples are its strength from what I see) but in many cases it seems that you have to know in order to understand the documentation which to my mind is not what should be. Third party tutorials express the need for clarification of the documentation and their success largely depends on the words that are used to describe the terminology. I have recommended your book to many others. Some in Australia, some in the Caribbean and yet others in the US. It fills a niche no others do. I hope you are doing well and wish you all the success in the future.

hey, this is ankush(19). I was facing a great difficulty to start with python. I tried a lot of books but all were bulkier and not target oriented; and then i found this lovely one, which made me love python in no time. Thanks a lot for this "beautiful piece of book".

I would like to thank you for your excellent guide on Python. I am a molecular biologist (with little programming background) and for my work I need to handle big datasets of DNA sequences and to analyse microscope images. For both things, programming in python has been useful, if not essential to complete and publish a 6-years project.
That such a guide is freely available is a clear sign that the forces of evil are not yet ruling the world! :)
Thank you,

Since this is going to be the first language you learn, you should use A Byte of Python. It really gives a proper introduction into programming in Python and it is paced well enough for the average beginner. The most important thing from then on will be actually starting to practice making your own little programs.
Just to say a loud and happy thank you very much for publishing "A Byte of Python" and "A Byte of Vim". Those books were very useful to me four or five years ago when I starting learning programming. Right now I'm developing a project that was a dream for a long, long time and just want to say thank you.
Keep walking. You are a source of motivation.
All the best.

Finished reading A byte of Python in 3 days. It is thoroughly interesting. Not a single page was boring. I want to understand the Orca screen reader code. Your book has hopefully equipped me for it.

The book is even used by NASA! It is being used in their Jet Propulsion Laboratory with their Deep Space Network project.
