Second Round of September Call-Ups Coming
Following their first round of call-ups yesterday, I just heard from a reliable source that the Brewers will call up at least three more players following today's game now that Nashville's season has concluded.
Joining the Brewers in the clubhouse tomorrow will be:
- Jason Rogers
- Hector Gomez
- Matt Clark
Rogers, the Brewers' reigning MiLB Player of the Year, has been playing mostly third base this season in the minor league system. He's been on an absolute tear of late, finishing his minor-league season on an eight-game hitting streak that included a pair of home runs.
For as hot as Rogers has been at the plate, nobody holds a candle to the lefty clubber Matt Clark. Acquired after Hunter Morris went down with a long-term injury this season (he's been back and playing), Clark has demolished the Pacific Coast League. In 53 games with the Sounds, Clark is slashing .313/.371/.605 and has hit 16 home runs, all in just 195 at-bats. Of those 16 home runs, a cool 12 have come in the just-completed month of August.
Gomez is primarily a shortstop, and could have been a minor league free agent following this season had the Brewers not added him to the 40-man roster. He was also announced as a participant in the upcoming edition of the Arizona Fall League on behalf of the Brewers so it was widely thought that he would have to be added to the 40-man roster at some point. Gomez played in two MLB games back in 2011 as a Colorado Rockies player, but hasn't been back since.
As for Rogers and Clark, their first games in a Brewers uniform will be their first games at the highest level of professional baseball.
Congratulations to all three players on strong seasons. They've earned these promotions.
Gomez and Clark will require 40-man roster moves. The Brewers could move *UPDATE* Johnny Hellweg (not Tyler Thornburg who is already there) to the 60-day DL easily enough. The other move could be simple, or a bit more interesting depending on how the Brewers choose to go.
Roster News: Brewers DL Thornburg, Understandably Recall Fiers
Following Saturday's game, the Brewers announced that they had place right-handed relief pitcher Tyler Thornburg on the 15-day Disabled List. The official cause for the designation was termed as "elbow soreness". Before the game, manager Ron Roenicke said that it was something that had been there for a little while. That would explain both Thornburg's limited use lately and lack of effectiveness with Friday's game as the most glaring example.
In his place, the Brewers have recalled right-hander Mike Fiers. Fiers dazzled for much of 2012 both as a starting pitcher and a reliever before a late season swoon chalked up mostly to workload concerns. 2013 got off to a rough start as Fiers dealt with off-field distractions and was eventually lost almost entirely to injury.
This season has been phenomenal for Fiers at Triple-A Nashville. His season line for the Sounds reads as such:
I have to point out a couple of things again for you.
- A league-leading 92 strikeouts (ninety-two)
- A 12.2 K/9 ratio
- A 10.22 K/B ratio because he's walked nine (9) in 67.2 innings pitched
I know it's the Pacific Coast League and not the National League, but these are the kinds of encouraging numbers that belie that Fiers' command and control are with him this season.
Welcome back to The Show, Mike!

Brewers By the (Jersey) Numbers '14 – #30 Tyler Thornburg
It's the post that would have been written 33 days ago but for the fact that players are allowed to change jersey numbers should they choose.
So instead of 63, today's profile will focus on 30 instead and its wearer for the 2014 season…
Tyler Thornburg.
Where do I begin with Tyler Thornburg and the 2013 season?
Let's start at the end because that where all the statistics have been compiled.
Tyler Michael Thornburg pitched in 33 regular season games in 2013. He pitched in 18 as a Brewer and 15 as a Nashville Sound.
Thornburg pitched with the Class-AAA Nashville Sounds to begin the season. He was called up to Milwaukee in early June out of necessity more than anything else. He wasn't the first guy on Doug Melvin's call list after how he started 2013, but that had a way of working itself out as you'll see in a bit.
Thornburg started all 15 of his Nashville games and made seven starts for Milwaukee, including all of his September appearances. Thornburg profiles for me pundits as a relief pitcher, but he's had trouble with getting his arm to rebound quickly enough to be available as often as most bullpen guys are. But I digress.
For now, more on why Thornburg wasn't the first option in 2013. For that, let's actually look at those season stats that I referenced a few paragraphs ago.
Here are his separate pitching lines for 2013:
If you're new to the structure of Major League Baseball, let me first point out that Class-AAA (Nashville) is an easier circuit than the big leagues. That may sound like an obvious statement, but Thornburg's results suggest anything but.
I've made known my theory as to why Thornburg struggled in Triple-A last year so much a few times before via various mediums (radio, blog, podcast), but here it is one more time for posterity.
Part of the reason that some feel Thornburg will eventually wind up in the bullpen is that they don't feel his stuff is dynamic enough to allow him to continually get the same hitters out over extended periods of time. To put it another way, they think Thornburg can be "figured out". I don't know how much stock I put in that because I'm not a baseball scout, but it got me to thinking.
Thornburg raced through the Brewers system after being drafted in the third round of the 2010 First-Year Player Draft. He actually skipped over Nashville on his way up to the bigs and debuted in Milwaukee before throwing a pitch as a Sound. He would then be optioned back to Nashville in 2012 to continue to develop. Through that, and the guys he pitched against on the way up starting to reach Triple-A, and with 2013 starting back in Nashville…. it seemed to add up to the idea that maybe too many of the hitters at that level had seen enough of his stuff that he was starting to get hit harder. Combine that with a bit of bad luck (he had a .383 BABip in Nashville in 2013 which doesn't factor in his 1.3 HR/9 rate), an offense that didn't do him any favors, and a mental snowballing effect, and you can see how Nashville simply got out of hand.
And it may sound silly to the saber-minded, but with a fresh stat line in Milwaukee, a mental reboot of a new environment, and the excitement of being back in the big leagues, Thornburg went out and pitched very well, even dominating at times.
The only other option is that Thornburg was sulking because he wasn't in the big leagues, but that doesn't match up at all with the man's personality, determination, and demeanor.
The true test of that theory will be 2014 though. Despite Doug Melvin's correct stance to not want to trade Thornburg for the likes of Ike Davis, the right-hander is unlikely to break camp with the parent club this year after the free agent signing of Matt Garza. After all, nobody makes it through a season with just five starting pitchers so the Brewers brass will likely want to maintain their sudden depth in starting pitching and have Thornburg stay stretched out by fronting Nashville's rotation.
Thornburg could start the season in the big league bullpen, but the Brewers have enough options there that he shouldn't have to. I'd prefer for him to start all season and confirm that his 2013 Nashville experience was a fluke.
Expect Thornburg to start for Milwaukee at some point this year though. That feels like a virtual certainty given the law of averages coupled with the injury histories of both Garza and Marco Estrada.
And if I know Thornburg, he'll be ready to go whenever he gets the ball the next time for the Brewers.

Brewers Finally Announce 2014 Jersey Numbers
Earlier today, the Brewers finally announced the jersey numbers that the players coming to big league camp will be wearing whilst at Maryvale.
The majority of the players who saw time at the MLB level in 2013 have not changed numbers, though two did. One coach gave up his number for a player. And of course the newest acquisitions and non-roster invitees all need number assignments as well.
Here are all the changes. (Keep in mind that my uniform number repository only counts players wearing a specific number while on the big league roster. I'll update those pages after camp breaks.)
New Players on 40-Man Roster:
- #50 – Jose De La Torre
- #63 – Brooks Hall
- #60 – Kevin Shackelford
- #13 – Will Smith
- #51 – Wei-Chung Wang
- #25 – Hunter Morris

Brewer Nation Podcast – Off-Season Primer
Recorded on location last night, here is the latest Brewer Nation podcast.
Check the tags for some of the players mentioned during this hour-long clip.
Milwaukee BBWAA Chapter's Brewers Team Award Winners Announced
The Milwaukee Brewers announced their postseason award winners as voted by members of the Milwaukee Chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA). A total of eight ballots were cast for each award, assigning five points for first place, three for second and one for third.
Center fielder Carlos Gomez was voted Brewers Most Valuable Player as he received all eight first-place votes (40 points). He was followed by shortstop Jean Segura (18 points), catcher Jonathan Lucroy (13) and pitcher Kyle Lohse (1). Gomez, a first-time All-Star selection this season, batted .284 with 24 HR, 73 RBI and 40 stolen bases in 147 games. He was among the National League leaders in triples (T2nd, 10), stolen bases (4th), slugging percentage (7th, .506) and extra-base hits (T8th, 61). Gomez became the first player in franchise history to produce 20+ home runs and 40+ stolen bases in a season. He was the only player in the Major Leagues to accomplish that feat in 2013. The Gold Glove Award candidate also recorded 12 assists in center field, which ranked second in the Major Leagues from that position.
Kyle Lohse was voted Brewers Most Valuable Pitcher as he received all eight first-place votes (40 points). Jim Henderson (24 points), Brandon Kintzler (7) and Yovani Gallardo (1) also received consideration. Lohse, who signed with the Brewers as a free agent on March 25, went 11-10 with a 3.35 ERA in 32 starts during his first season in Milwaukee. He led the team in ERA, innings pitched (198.2) and quality starts (20). He ranked fifth in the National League in fewest walks per nine innings (1.6). Lohse went 10-4 with a 2.91 ERA over his last 22 starts, posting 16 quality starts (139ip, 45er).
Lohse (38 points) was also voted Brewers Top Newcomer, receiving seven first-place votes and one second-place vote. He was followed by second baseman Scooter Gennett (26 points – one first-place vote). Outfielder Khris Davis (7 points) and pitcher Tyler Thornburg (1) were also listed on ballots.
Outfielder Norichika Aoki (34 points) received five first-place votes and three second-place votes to edge pitcher Brandon Kintzler (27 points – three first place-votes, four second-place votes) and earn Brewers Unsung Hero honors. A total of eight players were listed on ballots for this award. Aoki batted .286 with 8 HR, 37 RBI and 20 stolen bases in 155 games. He ranked among the National League leaders in multi-hit games (T7th, 50) and hits (T10th, 171). He led the team in games, at-bats (597), on-base percentage (.356) and walks (55) while tying Carlos Gomez for the team lead in runs (80). Aoki struck out just 40 times in 674 plate appearances this season, the best ratio in the Major Leagues (16.9).
Catcher Jonathan Lucroy (33 points) earned the Good Guy Award, receiving six first-place votes and one second-place vote. The other first-place votes went to center fielder Carlos Gomez, who finished second with 18 points, and shortstop Jean Segura. A total of nine players were listed on ballots for this honor, the most of any award this season.

Hey local folks,
Anyone looking for a new-to-you futon? It's a double-bed sized 8″ thick mattress, with a metal/wood frame (that's easy to take apart/put back together again). We were hoping to get some money for it, but we're flexible — and are really just looking for a good home for it.
Email me or leave a comment if you want details about the futon or actually want it. It comes with a cover, and the mattress itself is white.

Questions and Answers
Does show my pc work on Intranet
Alejandro 2012-03-23 09:39:03 Does show my pc work on Intranet?
I was wondering, will the showmypc private server work in a intranet?i want to ditch VNC and use somthing more robust. The office hace about 100 users wich need remote support and is connected by a dedicated link.
showmypc 2012-03-23 10:47:10 Does show my pc work on Intranet?
Yes ShowMyPC will work in a intranet, are support agents and the 100 users getting support are all inside the same network?
Also to clarify ShowMyPC internally uses a version of TightVNC over a secure SSH channel.
Alejandro 2012-03-23 11:29:27 Does show my pc work on Intranet?
Is a extended VLAN, with at lest 10 segments, all reachable from any point of the network. Is the SSH server needed in this scenario?
We are now using RealVNC Free edition, without any secure communication
showmypc 2012-03-23 12:26:07 Does show my pc work on Intranet?
SSH Server is useful in cases, (if SSH server is outside your network) to make the connection secure and also helps you get to the PCs from in or outside you LAN.
Do you want the session to be started by the client when they need help, or do you want the service to be installed permanently unattended where you can get in and out of any PCs anytime.
Alejandro 2012-03-23 12:34:15 Does show my pc work on Intranet?
I need both options. standard user must have the service running all the time and VIP users must agree to the remote support
showmypc 2012-03-23 13:50:18 Does show my pc work on Intranet?
Yes you will need SSH server running to keep the process simple, you can use a Virtual Machine or one of the PCs to setup that up.
Alejandro 2012-03-23 14:50:45 Does show my pc work on Intranet?
Thank you for your answers. I'm setting a public SSH and test-drive the software for a final evaluation.
showmypc 2012-03-23 16:03:45 Does show my pc work on Intranet?
Ok sure, you may setup the server and submit this request and reply once ready.
Alejandro 2012-03-28 07:47:33 Does show my pc work on Intranet?
One last question. What is the number of ongoings meetings means. Is the number of concurrent support sessions?
showmypc 2012-03-28 10:00:44 Does show my pc work on Intranet?
Yes it is the same as concurrent sessions.
Alejandro 2012-03-28 10:38:20 Does show my pc work on Intranet?
I'm about to purchase the unlimetd option of a private server.
What is the requirement list for the server. Is there a minimun RAM or HDD space? How about the CPU? Will i need a separate SSH server? Is there a Installation or a Planning guide?
showmypc 2012-03-28 11:13:32 Does show my pc work on Intranet?
Here are some of the details of the Hardware and Software of the SSH server.
showmypc 2012-03-28 11:13:36 Does show my pc work on Intranet?
Here are some of the details of the Hardware and Software of the SSH server.
Alejandro 2012-03-28 12:00:05 Does show my pc work on Intranet?
OK, i've already see that detail. The client's network where showmypc is gonna be implemented doesn't allow access to the internet (by client's rules). Does the ssh server need to be in a public ip? can it be inside the client's network? does the application connect to it by resolving ip or name?
Other thing, you don't show the cost for support and maintenance. Are the application upgrades and improvement included for an amount of time, let's say, a year?
showmypc 2012-03-28 13:16:11 Does show my pc work on Intranet?
We can build you a system where ShowMyPC will not need an external network. So in that case it will not need a public IP address.
For the application we recommend using a host name, since you can change the IP without changing anything.
Unless you have any specific requirements or change we do not impose any additional cost.
We help you setup initially, after that your network staff has to keep the server up and running.
The upgrades and support is provided free for first 1 year.
If any customization are requested, they are not included and are handled based on specific request.
After 1 st year the total cost of any single upgrade is 25% cost of the same product.
Alejandro 2012-03-28 14:41:07 Does show my pc work on Intranet?
The 25% of the cost of upgrade includes support for the second year?
showmypc 2012-03-28 17:05:19 Does show my pc work on Intranet?
Yes we will support your account for 1 year follow the upgrade.

Everything has started two years ago. The first signs of a strange virus has emerged in different places of the world. The virus spread all over the world in just few weeks and it transformed into a terrible epidemic. The ones that got the disease, lost all of their human traits and turned into zombies. Though the minority of the population that didn't get infected wasn't lucky either.

With NAMI's Sharing Hope: Understanding Mental Health program, predominately African-American congregations around the country are becoming more comfortable talking about mental illness and identifying ways to be supportive of people who live with mental illness. A second round of grant support to chartered NAMI State Organizations and NAMI Affiliates for further roll-out of this initiative will take place this spring. As one Sharing Hope presenter in St. Paul, Minn. expressed, "We're perking up our ears, tuning up our hearts so that we can listen and help one another."
The NAMI Multicultural Action Center developed the Sharing Hope toolkit with the understanding that African-Americans tend to seek help from the clergy more frequently than from other professionals and that the faith community provides key support to many families. The goals of the toolkit are to assist NAMI in reaching out and partnering with African-American congregations to provide information to help strip away stigma and facilitate important discussions about mental illness within these congregations.
" ...one of the most effective components of the Sharing Hope presentation is the presenter team sharing personal experiences."
In a 60-minute interactive presentation, a team consisting of a faith leader, a family member and an individual living with mental illness provides an overview of mental illness, treatment and recovery from the perspective of people of faith who have experienced these illnesses. Sharing Hope helps faith leaders and their congregations to initiate an open dialogue about mental health, the important role spirituality plays in recovery and the support faith communities can provide for individuals and families affected by mental illness. Sharing Hope offers information and tools to help members of congregations find treatment and support.
Evaluative data from 2009 grant sites shows that the presentation increases understanding of mental illness and encourages a greater sense empathy and desire to be supportive of individuals who live with mental illness. Audiences have sent a resounding message that one of the most effective components of the Sharing Hope presentation is the presenter team sharing personal experiences. Presenters are themselves examples that recovery is real.
Five new NAMI State Organizations and/or NAMI Affiliates will be selected this spring to expand and further evaluate Sharing Hope through 2011. These new sites will help further roll out this initiative and work with the Multicultural Action Center to provide continuing evaluative data and feedback.

EAU CLAIRE — The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire awarded a number of student scholarships at the Celebration of Excellence in Research and Creative Activity reception May 2 in Davies Center.
The reception and scholarship announcements were the culmination of this year's CERCA event, which brought several activities under one umbrella, including English Fest, History Graduate Student Association Symposium, Women's Studies Research Award and capstone projects, and Provost's Honors Symposium. In total, 678 students presented their faculty-mentored research as well as scholarly and creative projects.
The Kell Container Corp. Scholarship for 2013-14 was awarded to junior Max Dylla, Rochester, Minn., a materials science major. Dylla will work with Dr. Matt Jewell of the Materials Science Center faculty on a project titled "Fracture Statistics of Individual Nb3Sn Filaments." The scholarship was created and is endowed through the Kell Container Corp. of Chippewa Falls to support a junior or senior who demonstrates outstanding ability in undergraduate research in collaboration with a faculty member. The award includes a $2,500 scholarship as well as supplemental funds for a student stipend, supplies and travel. The faculty mentor also receives a $2,300 stipend during the project period.
Two students also received Kell Container Corp. Scholarship honorable mention awards. The honorable mentions are a new practice this year and reflect the overall high quality of the applicants and projects. Junior Phillip Schladweiler, Eau Claire, an art-photography and mass communication-public relations major, was recognized for his work with Jyl Kelly, assistant professor of photography, on the project "The Shrapnel Series — A Photographic and Literary Record of Combat Metal."
Junior Ashley Sexton, Plymouth, Minn., a biochemistry and molecular biology major, was honored for her work with Dr. Stephen Drucker, professor of the chemistry, on the project "Spectroscopic Studies of Cyclohexenone in its Excited Electronic States." Those receiving honorable mentions will be provided student project support through the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs.
Junior Thomas Nevins, a physics major from Chippewa Falls, received the Goldwater Scholarship, one of only eight awarded in Wisconsin. Students who receive Goldwater scholarships must have strong academic qualifications, in-depth research experience and a commitment to a career in science. During his scholarship year, Nevins will continue current work with Dr. Paul Thomas, professor of physics, on the development of a computer model relating to how satellite debris orbiting earth behaves upon collision, with the ultimate goal of being able to recover satellite parts. The scholarship covers the cost of undergraduate tuition, fees, and room and board up to $7,500 for one or two years. See related news release.
"Of 2011-12 graduates, 37 percent conducted a significant, in-depth research project with a faculty mentor while an undergraduate at UW-Eau Claire," noted Dr. Karen Havholm, assistant vice chancellor for research. "This reflects a significant level of student engagement in this high-impact practice, which helps distinguish students as they enter the job market or pursue graduate education. The dedicated faculty at UW-Eau Claire play a critical role in making this level of student participation possible."
The CERCA event was sponsored by the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs. For more information, email email@example.com or call 715-836-3405.

Objectives and mission statement[edit]
The FIA's main goal and priority is to protect the nation's interests and defend of Pakistan, to uphold and enforce the criminal law and law enforcement in the country. Its current mission statement is regarded:
To achieve excellence in FIA by promoting culture of merit, providing continuous professional training, ensuring effective internal accountability, encouraging use of technology and having a meaningful feedback mechanism.—Mission Statement of FIA, source[3]
Priorities and departments[edit]
As of 2009, FIA has 10 active departments to lead criminal charges and investigation, with priorities:
- Counter-terrorism Wing (CTW)—Tasked to protect Pakistan from all kinds of terrorist attacks, including cyber, bioterrorism, chemical, electronic and nuclear terrorism (see counter-terrorism);[4]
- Anti-Corruption Wing (ACW)—Tasked with undertaking investigations and combat all public corruption at all levels of command (see also NAB).[5]
- Economic Crime Wing (ECW)—Mandate with to protect Pakistan from economic terrorism and protection of intellectual property rights of the people. (see also: Economic terrorism).[6]
- Immigration Wing (IW)—Combat Human trafficking activities and measure against illegal immigration in Pakistan.[7]
- Technical Wing (TW)—Tasked to make efforts to protect Pakistan against foreign intelligence operations and espionage (see counterintelligence and counterproliferation) as well as using the scientific assistance to resolve the high-technology crimes.[8]
- Legal Branch (LB)—Responsible to provide legal guidance in all administrative and operational matters as well as protect civil rights.[9]
- National Central Bureau (NCB)—Tasked with to combat transnational/national criminal organizations and enterprises (see organized crime) with the assistance from Interpol and FBI.[10]
- Anti Trafficking Unit (ATU)—Task to combat major violent crimes, to ensure country wide coverage of human trafficking as well as preventing and protecting the victims of trafficking.[11]
In 1942, the British government established the Special Police Establishment (SPE) in British India during the midst of World War II.[12] Originally the Police Establishment was tasked to take up investigation of corruption in Indian Civil Service (ICS), rampant in the Supplies and Procurement Department of the then British Raj.[12] After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, the SPE was equally divided between the governments of India, which formed the CBI, and Pakistan, which remained it as Pakistan Special Police Establishment (PSPE) in 1947.[12] With the passage of time, the PSPE, apart from investigating the offenses of bribery and corruption against officials of federal government, was also given powers to investigate cases relating to the offenses under the following laws:-
- Official Secret Act, 1923
- Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1947
- Passport Offenses Act, 1952
- Customs Act, 1959
After the 1971 war with India, the police reforms were carried out by Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto after adopting recommendations from the report submitted by bureaucrat G. Ahmad in Prime Minister Secretariat, on 7 March 1972.[12] The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) was created on 13 January 1975, after being codified in the Constitution with the passing of the FIA Act, 1974, by the State parliament.[12] Initially, its first roles were to build efforts against the organized crimes, smuggling, human trafficking, immigration offenses, and passport scandals.[12]
When the FIA was created, it took cases on corruption at every level of the government.[13] Although ostensibly a crime-investigation service, the FIA also took investigations onto accused political opponents and critics of financial impropriety from tax evasions to taking bribery while in office.[13]
National security and efforts against terrorism[edit]
Initially, its role was to conduct investigations on public corruption but the scope of FIA's investigation was increased to take actions against communist terrorism in 1980s.[12] After securing voting plurality in general elections held in 1993, Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto further widened the scope of FIA, making FIA akin to ISI in the intelligence community. After approving the appointment of senior FIA agent Rehman Malik, the FIA's intelligence and investigations were now conducted at the international level, with close coordination of American FBI.[14] The FIA notably worked together with the FBI to conduct investigations on 1993 WTC bombing in New York, United States.[14] The FIA and FBI tracked down the mastermind of the 1993 WTC bombing Ramzi Yousef in Pakistan.[14] In 1995, the successful investigation led to the extradition of Ramzi Yousef to United States.
In 1990s, the FIA directed by Rehman Malik was involved in leading the investigations and actions against al-Qaeda operatives, KSM and Ramzi Yousef, assisted FBI to apprehend Ramzi in 1995,[15] and KSM in 2002.[12][16] The FIA pushed its efforts against terrorism and track on crime syndicated organizations affiliated to the terrorist organizations.[17] The FIA was said to be launched secret intelligence operations against the terrorist organizations, which mounted a secret competition with the ISI.[17] In leading its intelligence operations, the FIA was in direct contact with Israeli Mossad to assist FIA in gaining intelligence and further interrogating the extremist elements.[17] According to the military authors, such reports equally dismayed the Pakistani military which was already upset with FIA's intelligence operations interfering the ISI's intelligence operations.[17] Despite difficulties, the FIA had gained world prominence after reportedly leading successful operations against the terrorism in 1996.[17]
In 2001, the FIA successfully investigated the case against Sultan Mahmood for his alleged bidding in nuclear terrorism, though the FIA cleared Mahmood of his charges in 2002.[18] In 2003, the role of counter-terrorism was assigned in the FIA, which led to an establishment of the Counter-Terrorism Wing (CTW).[4] The CTW agents were provided extensive training and equipment handling by the FBI under the Anti Terrorism Assistance Program (ATTP).[4]
The FIA began investigating Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his movement around the world was monitored by the FIA. The FIA agents kept the investigations with FBI agents over the case of KSM.[19] Eventually FIA's successful investigations led to KSM's capture in Rawalpindi, Punjab, in a paramilitary operation conducted jointly by CIA and the ISI in 2003.[19] In 2002, the FIA continued its investigation and had strictly surveillance the movements of Afia Siddiqui in Karachi.[20] In 2003, the FIA had been investigating the investigation on Siddiqui's movements and activities, subsequently sharing with the United States.[20]
Anti-piracy efforts[edit]
Efforts on probes against the privacy was increased after a petition was filed by the FBI which disputed Pakistan's commitment to rooting out piracy within its national borders in 2001.[21]
In 2002, FIA launched several probes against the privacy violation elements and Pakistan was en route to having its US duty-free GSP agreements being taken away from it in 2005.[21] In order to avert any further negative fallout, sections of the Copyright Ordinance 1962 were included in the FIA's schedule of offenses[21] This legislation paved the way in 2005, under the direction of the federal interior ministry, to raid the country's largest video wholesale centre: The Rainbow Centre.[21]
Raiding the factories of the dealers that operated within the centre proved to be a highly successful enterprise, resulting in a reduction of 60% of sales of pirated video material.[21] A spokesman from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), later confirmed, that many of the outlets had stopped selling pirated video goods and were now selling mobile phones, highlighting that the FIA's raids and the resultant legal action was a success.[21]
Notable organizations[edit]
Special FIA teams[edit]
On 9 June 1975, the FIA formed the Immigration Wing (IW) to help the NARA agents and officials to conduct probes against the illegal immigration to Pakistan.[22] In 1979, the Anti-Human Smuggling Wing was formed to take evasive actions against the human smugglers and trafficking.[22] In 1975, another special team, the Technical Wing, was formed to tackle the financial crimes.[23]
In 2003, the FIA formed an elite counter-terrorism unit to help deal with exterminating terrorism in the country.[24] Named Counter-Terrorism Wing (CTW), it acts as Elite team in related procedures and all counter-terrorism case.[24] Also the same year, the FIA formed the Cyber Investigation Unit (CIU) and the Computer Analysis and Forensic Laboratory.[24]
Since then, the FIA has assigned its agents and officials have received physical trainings and electronic equipment from the United States.[24] In 2011, the CTW was further expanded and FIA established another Terrorist Financing Investigation Unit (TFIU) to conduct and lead operations against the terrorism financing.[24] The CTW operatives have also assist other intelligence agencies to conduct joint investigations against the terror groups. To date CTW has always been an integral part of high profile terrorist cases. It has also managed the most wanted list of individuals involved indirectly or directly in taking part in terrorism.[25] In 2008, the FIA successfully led and concluded the joint investigations on Marriott Hotel bombing in Islamabad.[26] The FIA shared most of its findings gathered through interrogation of the arrested suspects to help hunt down the top members of the al-Qaeda to FBI.[27]
Other FIA special teams included the Anti-Corruption Wing (ACW) which was established in 2004 to lead probes against the corrupt officials and other white collar criminals.[28] In 2004, the Economic Crime Wing (ECW) was also established in 2004 but transferred to NAB; though it was restored by FIA in 2008.[29]
Criticisms and Controversies[edit]
Covert operations on political groups[edit]
The FIA has used covert operations domestic political groups since its inception; the FIA launched covert operations against the right-wing activists of the PNA.[13] In 1990s, the FIA was involved in running the active intelligence operation against the BLLF on behest of the government. Critics of FIA has called the agency as "secret police".[30] In 1980s, the FIA also targeted the leftist groups and was instrumental in conducting inquiry in preparation of against communist party.[30]
FIA Scandals[edit]
It was also reported that 5 FIA personnel were investigated for their alleged role in human trafficking and most of them were dismissed from the service.[31]
International access[edit]
Cooperation with Foreign counterparts[edit]
In 2006, the FIA resumed operational links with its Indian counterpart, the Central Bureau of Investigation, after a gap of 17 years.[32][33]
FIA participates in the PISCES project which was initiated by the US Department of State, Terrorist Interdiction Program (TIP) in 1997, as a system to improve their watchlisting capabilities by providing a mainframe computer system to facilitate immigration processing. PISCES system has been installed at seven major airports of the country i.e. Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, Quetta, Multan and Faisalabad airports. The system has provision to accommodate information on suspects from all law enforcement agencies like Immigration, Police, Narcotics Control, Anti-smuggling, and Intelligence Services.[34]
The FIA is head by the appointed Director-General who is appointed by the Prime Minister, and confirmed by the President. Appointment for the Director of FIA either comes from the high-ranking officials of Police or the civil bureaucracy.[35] The Director FIA is assisted by three Additional Director-Generals and ten Directors for effective monitoring and smooth functioning of the operations spread all over the country.[36]
The FIA is headquartered in Islamabad and also maintains a separate training academy FIA, also in Islamabad which was opened in 1976.[37] In 2002, FIA formed a specialized wing for investigating Information & Communication Technology (ICT) related crimes. This wing is commonly known as National Response Centre for Cyber Crimes (NR3C) and has the credit of arresting 12 hackers, saving millions of dollars to the government exchequer.[38] This wing of FIA has state-of-the-art Digital Forensic Laboratories managed by highly qualified Forensic Experts and is specialized in Computer and Cell Phone Forensics, cyber/electronic crime investigation, Information System Audits and Research & Development. Officers of NR3C carryout training for Officers of Police and other Law Enforcement Agencies of Pakistan.[38]

Best places to sit at Petco Park
Is the view from these seats any good? Where is the best place to sit? With the high cost of ticket prices, it's a valid concern. Especially if you've never seen the Padres play in San Diego, understanding the view from each section can be overwhelming. But this should offer you some relief. Almost every place to sit at Padres stadium offers a unique and enjoyable view of the action. There truly is no bad section at Petco Park. (View seating chart.)
We love the site SeatGeek, which ranks the tickets available for each game based on how good a value they are (relative to past ticket sales and other tickets on the market for the same section). The tickets are displayed visually right on a seating chart. So at a glance, you are seeing price, view, value and seat location. It is great for Chargers games as well!
Here are a few guidelines to help zero in on the best seats for you:
- Best view: The best views at Petco come from seats in the Dugout Club, Field Box or Premier Club sections. The lower your row number, the closer you will be to the action. As with any stadium, the infield sections between home plate and first base (odd-numbered sections), and between home plate and third base (even numbers), on the lower level, are considered the sections that offer the best perspective on the game.
- However, Petco offers some of the closest-to-the-action upper decks in all of baseball. In addition to a keen birdseye view of the game, you also enjoy tremendous, sweeping views of San Diego, as well as the luxury of saving a few bucks!
- Bleachers: You'll also save money on tickets by sitting in the bleachers. It's a classic baseball experience sure to be stocked with some of the game's biggest fans.
- The right field sections get more sun, which can be brutal if you are not prepared for it. Left field offers shade but is underneath the main scoreboard, offering limited views of the action up there.
- Most comfortable: Toyota Terrace
- To visualize each section and take ticket prices into consideration, start with the Padre's official site.
Petco Park Insider is your guide to enjoying games in San Diego at the Padres baseball stadium. Please join the conversation on Twitter @PetcoParkSD or contact Petco Park Insider.

Acute appendicitis
Acute appendicitis is an inflammation of vermiform appendix caused by festering microflora. Most frequent causes of acute appendicitis are festering microbes: intestinal stick, streptococcus, staphylococcus. Moreover, microflora can be in cavity of appendix or get there by hematogenic way, and for women – by lymphogenic one. Factors which promote the origin of appendicitis, are the following: a) change of reactivity of organism; b) constipation and atony of intestine; c) twisting or bends of appendix; d) excrement stone in its cavity; e) thrombosis of vessels of appendix and gangrene of wall as a substance of inflammatory process (special cases). Simple (superficial) and destructive (phlegmonous, gangrenous primary and gangrenous secondary) appendicitises which are morphological expressions of phases of acute inflammation that is completed by necrosis can be distinguished. In simple appendicitis the changes are observed, mainly, in the distant part of appendix. There are stasis in capillaries and venule, edema and hemorrhages. Focus of festering inflammation of mucus membrane with the defect of the epithelium covering is formed in 1–2 hours (primary affect of Ashoff). This characterizes acute superficial appendicitis. The phlegmon of appendix develops to the end of the day. The organ increases, it serous tunic becomes dimmed, sanguineous, stratifications of fibrin appear on its surface, and there is pus in cavity. In gangrenous appendicitis the appendix is thickened, the its serous tunic is covered by dimmed fibrinogenous tape, differentiating of the layer structure through destruction is not succeeded.
1. Appendiceal colic.
2. Simple superficial appendicitis.
3. Destructive appendicitis:
а) phlegmonous;
б) gangrenous;
в) perforated.
4. Complicated appendicitis:
а) appendicular infiltrate;
б) appendicular abscess;
в) diffuse purulent peritonitis.
5. Other complications of acute appendicitis (pylephlebitis, sepsis, retroperitoneal phlegmon, local abscesses of abdominal cavity).
Symptoms and clinical course
Four phases are distinguished in clinical course of acute appendicitis: 1) epigastric; 2) local symptoms; 3) calming down; 4) complications.
The disease begins with a sudden pain in the abdomen. It is localized in a right iliac area, has moderate intensity, permanent character and not irradiate. With 70 % of patients the pain arises in a epigastric area – it is an epigastric phase of acute appendicitis. In 2–4 hours it moves to the place of appendix existance (the Kocher's symptom). At coughing patients mark strengthening of pain in a right iliac area – it is a positive cough symptom.
Together with it, nausea and vomiting that have reflex character can disturb a patient. Often there is a delay of gases. The temperature of body of most patients rises, but high temperature can occur rarely and, mainly, it is a low grade fever. The general condition of patients gets worse only in case of growth of destructive changes in appendix.
During the examinationIt is possible to mark, that the right half of stomach falls behind in the act of breathing, and a patient wants to lie down on a right side with bound leg.
Painfulness is the basic and decisive signs of acute appendicitis during the examination by palpation in a right iliac area, tension of muscle of abdominal wall, positive symptoms of peritoneum irritation. About 100 pain symptoms characteristic of acute appendicitis are known, however only some of them have the real practical value.
The Blumberg's symptom. After gradual pressing by fingers on a front abdominal wall from the place of pain quickly, but not acutely, the hand is taken away. Strengthening of pain is considered as a positive symptom in that place. Obligatory here is tension of muscles of front abdominal wall.
The Voskresensky's symptom. By a left hand the shirt of patient is drawn downward and fixed on pubis. By the taps of 2-4 fingers of right hand epigastric area is pressed and during exhalation of patient quickly and evenly the ha nd slides in the direction of right iliac area, without taking the hand away. Thus there is an acute strengthening of pain.
The Bartomier's symptom is the increase of pain intensity during the palpation in right iliac area of patient in position on the left side. At such pose an omentum and loops of thin intestine is displaced to the left, and an appendix becomes accessible for palpation.
The Sitkovsky's symptom. A patient, that lies on left, feels the pain which arises or increases in a right iliac area. The mechanism of intensification of pain is explained by displacement of blind gut to the left, by drawing of mesentery of the inflamed appendix.
The Rovsing's symptom. By a left hand a sigmoid bowel is pressed to the back wall of stomach. By a right hand by ballotting palpation a descending bowel is pressed. Appearance of pain in a right iliac area is considered as a sign characteristic of appendicitis.
The Obrazcov's symptom. With the position of patient on the back by index and middle fingers the right iliac area of most painful place is pressed and the patient is asked to heave up the straightened right leg. At appendicitis pain increases acutely.
The Rozdolskyy's symptom. At percussion there is painfulness in a right iliac area.
The general analysis of blood does not carry specific information, which would specify the presence of acute appendicitis. However, much leukocytosis and change of formula to the left in most cases can point to the present inflammatory process.
Acute appendicitis in children. With children of infancy acute appendicitis can be seen infrequently, but, quite often carries atipical character. All this is conditioned, mainly, by the features of anatomy of appendix, insufficient of plastic properties of the peritoneum, short omentum and high reactivity of child's organism. The inflammatory process in the appendix of children quickly makes progress and during the first half of days from the beginning of disease there can appear its destruction, even perforation. The child, more frequent than an adult, suffers vomiting. Its general condition gets worse quickly, and already the positive symptoms of irritation of peritoneum can show up during the first hours of a disease. The temperature reaction is also expressed considerably acuter. In the blood test there is high leukocytosis. It is necessary to remember, that during the examination of calmless children it is expedient to use a chloral hydrate enema.
Acute appendicitis of the people of declining and old ages can be met not so often, as of the persons of middle ages and youth. This contingent of patients is hospitalized to hospital rather late: in 2–3 days from the beginning of a disease. Because of the promoted threshold of pain sensitiveness, the intensity of pain in such patients is small, therefore they almost do not fix attention on the epigastric phase of appendicitis. More frequent are nausea and vomiting, and the temperature reaction is expressed poorly. Tension of muscles of abdominal wall is absent or insignificant through old-age relaxation of muscles. But the symptoms of irritation of peritoneum keep the diagnostic value with this group of patients. Thus, the sclerosis of vessels of appendix results in its rapid numbness, initially-gangrenous appendicitis develops. Because of such reasons the destructive forms of appendicitis prevail, often there is appendiceal infiltrate.
With pregnant women both the bend of appendix and violation of its blood flow are causes of the origin of appendicitis. Increased in sizes uterus causes such changes. It, especially in the second half of pregnancy, displaces a blind gut together with an appendix upwards, and an overdistension abdominal wall does not create adequate tension. It is needed also to remember, that pregnant women periodically can have a moderate pain in the abdomen and changes in the blood test. Together with that, psoas-symptom and the Bartomier's symptom have a diagnostic value at pregnant women.
Clinical course of acute appendicitis at the atipical location (not in a right iliac area) will differ from a classic vermiform appendix .
Appendicitis at retrocecal and retroperitoneal location of appendiceal appendix can be with 8–20 % patients. Thus an appendix can be placed both in a free abdominal cavity and retroperitoneal. An atypical clinic arises, as a rule, at the retroperitoneal location. The patients complain at pain in lumbus or above the wing of right ileum. There they mark painfulness during palpation. Sometimes the pain irradiates to the pelvis and in the right thigh. The positive symptom of Rozanov — painfulness during palpation in the right Pti triangle is characteristic. In transition of inflammatory process on an ureter and kidney in the urines analysis red corpuscles can be found.
Appendicitis {at the pelvic location} of appendix can be met in 11–30 % cases. In such patients the pain is localized above the right Poupart's ligament and above pubis. At the very low placing of appendix at the beginning of disease the reaction of muscles of front abdominal wall on an inflammatory process can be absent. With transition of inflammation on an urinary bladder or rectum either the dysuric signs or diarrhea developes, mucus appears in an excrement. Distribution of process on internal genital organs provokes signs characteristic of their inflammation.
Appendicitis at the medial placing of appendix. The appendix in patients with such pathology is located between the loops of intestine, that is the large field of suction and irritation of peritoneum. At these anatomic features mesentery is pulled in the inflammatory process, acute dynamic of the intestinal obstruction develops in such patients. The pain in the abdomen is intensive, widespread, the expressed tension of muscles of abdominal wall develops, that together with symptoms of the irritation of peritoneum specify the substantial threat of peritonitis development.
For the subhepatic location of appendix the pain is characteristic in right hypochondrium. During palpation painfulness and tension of musclescan be marked.
Left-side appendicitis appears infrequently and, as a rule, in case of the reverse placing of all organs, however it can occur at a mobile blind gut. In this situation all signs which characterize acute appendicitis will be exposed not on the right, as usually, but on the left.
Among complications of acute appendicitis most value have appendiceal infiltrates and abscesses.
Appendiceal infiltrate is the conglomerate of organs and tissue not densely accrete round the inflamed vermiform appendix. It develops, certainly, on 3–5th day from the beginning of disease. Acute pain in the stomach calms down thus, the general condition of a patient gets better. Dense, not mobile, painful, with unclear contours, formation is palpated in the right iliac area. There are different sizes of infiltrate, sometimes it occupies all right iliac area. The stomach round infiltrate during palpation is soft and unpainful.
At reverse development of infiltrate (when resorption comes) the general condition of a patient gets better, sleep and appetite recommence, activity grows, the temperature of body and indexes of blood is normalized. Pain in the right iliac area calms down, infiltrate diminishes in size. In this phase of infiltrate physiotherapeutic procedure is appointed, warmth on the iliac area.
In two months after resorption of infiltrate appendectomy is conducted.
At abscessing of infiltrate the condition of a patient gets worse, the symptoms of acute appendicitis become more expressed, the temperature of body, which in most cases gains hectic character, rises, the fever appears. Next to that, pain in the right iliac area increases. Painful formation is felt there. In the blood test high leukocytosis is present with the acutely expressed change of leukocyte formula to the left.
Local abscesses of abdominal cavity, mainly, develops as a result of the atypical placing of appendix or suppuration. More frequent from other there are pelvic abscesses. Thus a patient is disturbed by pain beneath the abcupula, there are dysuric disorders, diarrhea and tenesmus. The temperature of body rises to 38,0–39,0oС, and rectal — to considerably higher numbers. In the blood test leukocytosis, change of formula of blood is fixed to the left.
During the rectal examination the weakened sphincter of anus is found. The front wall of rectum at first is only painful, and then its overhanging is observed as dense painful infiltrate.
A subdiaphragmatic abscess develops at the high placing of appendix. The pain in the lower parts of thorax and in a upper quarter of abcupula ofn to the right, that increases at deep inhalationis except for the signs of intoxication, is characteristic of it. A patient, generally, occupies semisitting position. Swelling in an epigastric area is observed in heavy cases, smoothing and painful intercostal intervals. The abcupula ofn during palpation is soft, although tension in the area of right hypochondrium is possible. Painfulness at pressure on bottom (9–11) ribs is the early and permanent symptom of subdiaphragmatic abscess (the Krukov's symptom).
Roentgenologically the right half of diaphragm can fall behind from left one while breathing, and there is a present reactive exudate in the right pleura cavity. A gas bubble is considered the roentgenologic sign of subdiaphragmatic abscess with the horizontal level of liquid, which is placed under the diaphragm.
Interloop abscesses are not frequent complications of acute appendicitis. As well as all abscesses of abdominal cavity, they pass the period of infiltrate and abscess formation with the recreation of the proper clinic.
The poured festering peritonitis develops as a result of the timely unoperated appendicitis. Diagnostics of this pathology does not cause difficulties.
Pylephlebitis is a complication of both appendicitis and after-operative period of appendectomy.
The reason of this pathology is acute retrocecal appendicitis. At it development the thrombophlebitis process from the veins of appendix, passes to the veins of bowels mesentery, and then on to the portal vein. Patients complain at the expressed general weakness, pain in right hypochondrium, high hectic temperature of body, fever and strong sweating. Patients are adynamic, with expressed subicteritiousness of the scleras. During palpation painfulness is observed in the right half of abcupula ofn and the symptoms of irritation of peritoneum are not acutely expressed.
In case with rapid passing of disease the icterus appears, the liver is increased, kidney-hepatic insufficiency makes progress, and patients die in 7-10 days from the beginning of disease. At gradual subacute development of pathology the liver and spleen is increased in size, and after the septic state of organism ascites arises.
Acute appendicitis is differentiated with the diseases which are accompanied by pain in the abcupula ofn.
Food toxicoinfection. Complaints for pain in the epigastric area of the intermittent character, nausea, vomiting and liquid emptying are the first signs of disease. The state of patients progressively gets worse from the beginning. Next to that, it is succeeded to expose that a patient used meal of poor quality. However, here patients do not have phase passing, which is characteristic of acute appendicitis, and clear localization of pain. Defining the symptoms of irritation of peritoneum is not succeeded, the peristalsis of intestine is, as a rule, increased.
Acute pancreatitis. In anamnesis in patients with this pathology there is a gallstone disease, violation of diet and use of alcohol. Their condition from the beginning of a disease is heavy. Pain is considerably more intensive, than during appendicitis, and is concentrated in the upper half of abcupula ofn. Vomiting is frequent and does not bring to the recovery of patients.
Perforative peptic and duodenum ulcer. Diagnostic difficulties during this pathology arise up only on occasion. They can be in patients with the covered perforation, when portion of gastric juice flows out in an abdominal cavity and stays too long in the right iliac area, or in case of atypical perforations. Taking it into account, it is needed to remember, that the pain in the perforative ulcer is considerably more intensive in epigastric, instead of in the right iliac area. On the survey roentgenogram of organs of abdominal cavity under the right cupula of diaphragms free gases can be found.
The apoplexy of ovaryа more frequent is with young women and, as a rule, on 10-14 day after menstruation. Pain appears suddenly and irradiate in the thigh and perineum. At the beginning of disease there can be a collapse. However, the general condition of patients suffers insignificantly. When not enough blood was passed in the abdominal cavity, all signs of pathology of abdominal cavity organs calm down after some time. Signs, which are characteristic of acute anemia, appear at considerable hemorrhage. Abdomen more frequent is soft and painful down, (positive Kulenkampff's symptom: acute pain during palpation of stomach and absent tension of muscles of the front abdominal wall).
During paracentesis of back fornix the blood which does not convolve is got.
Extra-uterine pregnancy. A necessity to differentiate acute appendicitis with the interrupted extra-uterine pregnancy arises, when during the examination the patient complains at the pain only down in the stomack, more to the right. Taking it into account, it is needed to remember, that at extra-uterine pregnancy a few days before there can be intermittent pain in the lower part of the abdomen, sometimes excretions of "coffee" colour appear from vagina. In anamnesis often there are the present gynaecological diseases, abortions and pathological passing of pregnancy. For the clinical picture of such patient inherent sudden appearance of intensive pain in lower part of the abdomen. Often there is a brief loss of consciousness. During palpation considerable painfulness is localized lower, than at appendicitis, the abdomen is soft, the positive Kulenkampff's symptom is determined. Violations of menstrual cycle testify for pregnancy, characteristic changes are in milk glands, vagina and uterus. During the vaginal examination it is sometimes possible to palpate increased tube of uterus. The temperature of body more frequently is normal. If hemorrhage is small, the changes in the blood test are not present. The convincing proof of the broken extra-uterine pregnancy is the dark colour of blood, taken at punction of back fornix of vagina.
Acute cholecystitis. The high placing of vermiform appendix in the right half of abdomen during its inflammation can cause the clinic somewhat similar to acute cholecystitis. But unlike appendicitis, in patients with cholecystitis the pain is more intensive, has cramp-like character, is localized in right hypochondrium and irradiate in the right shoulder and shoulder-blade. Also the epigastric phase is absent. The attack of pain can arise after the reception of spicy food and, is accompanied by nausea and frequent vomiting by bile. In anamnesis patients often have information about a gallstone disease. During examination intensive painfulness is observed in right hypochondrium, increased gall-bladder and positive symptoms Murphy's and Ortner's.
Right-side kidney colic. For this disease tormina at the level of kidney and in lumbus is inherent, hematuria and dysuric signs which can take place at the irritation of ureter by the inflamed appendix. Intensity of pain in kidney colic is one of the basic differences from acute appendicitis. Pain at first appears in lumbus and irradiate downward after passing of ureter in genital organs and front surface of the thigh. In diagnostics urogram survey is important, and if necessary — chromocystoscopy. Absence of function of right kidney to some extent allows to eliminate the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.
As experience of surgeons of the whole world testifies, in acute appendicitis timely operation is the unique effective method of treatment.
Access for appendectomy must provide implementation of operation. {McBurney's incision} is typical.
When during operation the appendix without the special difficulties can be shown out {in a wound}, antegrade appendectomy is executed. On clamps its mesentery is cut off and ligated. Near the basis the appendix is {ligated and cut}. Stump is processed by solution of antiseptic and peritonized by a purse-string suture .
If only the basis of appendix is taken in a wound, and an apex is fixed in an abdominal cavity, more rationally retrograde appendectomy is performed. Thus the appendix near basis is cut between two ligatures. Stump is processed by antiseptic and peritonized. According to it the appendix is removed in the direction from basis to the apex.
According to indication operation is concluded by draining of abdominal cavity (destructive appendicitis, exudate in an abdominal cavity, capillary hemorrhage from the bed). In recent years the laparoscopy methods of appendectomy are successfully performed.
In patients with appendiceal infiltrate it is necessary to perform conservative-temporizing tactic. Taking it into account, bed rest is appointed, protective diet, cold on the area of infiltrate, antibiotic therapy. According to resorption of infiltrate, in two months, planned appendectomy is executed.
Treatment of appendiceal abscess must be only operative. Opening and drainage of abscess, from {retroperitoneal access}, is performed. To delete here the appendix is not necessary, and because of denger of bleeding, peritonitis and intestinal fistula — even dangerously.
