OPHTHALMIC PRESSURE BANDAGE This invention relates to dressings and bandage constructions, and, particularly, to an ophthalmic therapeutic pressure bandage.
Many different kinds of eye bandage constructions and bandaging procedures are commonly known. One of the problems with most known eye bandaging procedures, however, is that they require a medical professional to construct them on the patient, for example, US. Pat. No. 3,300,786.
In many instances involving the need for an eye bandage, it is preferable to apply light pressure to the eye. Not only is there a therapeutic need for an absorbent bandage when injury is present, but there is an even greater therapeutic value to the continual application of gentle pressure to prevent undesirable nictation. Application of such gentle pressure serves as a combined psychological/physiological crutch which allows the bandaged eye to rest immobilized. In the absence of such pressure, it is difficult for the bandaged eye lid to resist coordinate movement with the unbandaged eye.
Ophthalmic bandages known to the art have naturally included absorbent pads, but these have usually consisted of pads of folded gauze or cellulosic material. Not only were the gauze pads of cumbersome dimension so that they applied uneven pressure, but by nature, they tended to adhere to the eye so that removal was difficult and traumatic. On the other hand, other prior art bandages applied no pressure to the eye, U.S. Pat. No. 3,092,103.
The external backing of known prior art eye bandages are poorly designed from both aesthetic and practical viewpoints. Traditionally, this has consisted of a patch of gauze or cloth surmounted by crossed strips of adhesive tape. This non-opercular construction was not only uncomfortable, but often loosened or became unadhered in places. Also, it presented psychological trauma because of its conspicuousness. Children who had a need to wear such a path for extended periods to strengthen the unbandaged eye would frequently remove the patch to forestall gibes from their peers. Such interruption of the usage delayed therapy.
An eye bandage has been found which does not have the aforementioned drawbacks. It is an ophthalmic therapeutic pressure bandage comprising: (a) a conformable permeable carrier tape comprising a backing and a layer of hypoallergenic pressure-sensitive adhesive on one surface thereof; (b) a multi-layer pad attached to said surface of the tape carrying said pressure-sensitive adhesive, said pad comprising: an absorbent resilient foam material adjacent to said tape; an interlayer of an absorbent non-woven web material attached to said foam material; and a porous, nonadherent facing attached to the web material, the multi-layer pad being of a shape, size and thickness so as to allow sufficient pressure to be applied to an eye to prevent nictation.
The light therapeutic pressure feature which prevents nictation is provided by a multi-layer pad. The thwarting of nictation is desirable when treating an occular malady such as a corneal abrasion, an allergy or a microbial infection and is particularly useful for postoperative therapy. It can prevent hemorrhages by constricting capillaries. Another feature is that the pad protects the treated area from injury caused by impact.
The present bandage is also useful as an aid in strengthening the use of one eye as in amblyopia therapy. The present bandage is also useful to protect the eye from ultraviolet exposure, for example, when infants are being treated for the condition of hyperbilirubinemia.
The structural advantages of the ophthalmic bandage can best be described by reference to the drawings:
FIG. 1 which illustrates a bandage in use on a patient;
FIG. 2 which shows a view of the bandage as seen from below;
FIG. 3 which shows a sectional view along the line 33 of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 which shows a sectional view illustrating the preferred means of attaching the absorbent non-woven web material to the foam pad by needled-in fibers.
FIG. 1 illustrates the preferred embodiment of the present invention in use. An ophthalmic opercular therapeutic pressure bandage 10 is shown completely enclosing the eye, thus excluding dust, dirt and microbial invaders.
Referring to FIG. 3, an unused bandage 30 comprises a permeable, conformable carrier tape 11 having an elastomeric backing l2 and a layer of hypoallergenic pressure-sensitive adhesive 13. As noted, the backing of the tape is elastomeric, which allows the application of controlled pressure by stretching upon application. However, non-elastomeric backing may be used. One preferred backing is made of split foam, which is normally from 0.075 to 0.2 mm thick.
Chemically blown foam is produced between two restraining sheets or liners. Foam produced in such a manner, which is known to the art, has an integral skin on both surfaces which have been in contact with the liners. The foam is then split or slit through its center producing two essentially identical thinner sheets of foam, each having one skin surface and one slit surface. The slit surfaces are characterized by a very open surface having essentially no transverse cell walls and hence, very low reflectance. Breathability or porosity is governed almost entirely by the skin surface. Pressure-sensitive adhesive may then be applied to the skin surface.
The preferred method of producing a split foam carrier tape involves forming the foam between two liners which first have been coated with a low adhesion backsize or release coating and then with a hypoallergenic pressure-sensitive adhesive. When the foam is formed between these adhesive-coated liners, the adhesive is automatically adhered to the foam. This provides better bonding to the foam and has some effect upon control of the desired permeability of the foam skin.
The preferred split foam backing consists of a plasticized polyvinyl chloride foam. The plasticizer is of the so-called permanent, non-migrating, non-sensitizing type. The split foam carrier tape is then elastic, pliable, conformable and yielding. This is due to the skin of the foam which can be much thinner than the usual plastic backing and, hence, more pliable, more conformable, and more elastic, while at the same time, not having sufficient elastic strength to constrict blood circulation under the split-foam carrier tape because of its extreme thinness.
The exposed split surface of the foam is such as to have a minimum of actual solid surface thereby providing for minimum reflectance and minimum capacity for soiling and staining, thereby, providing a surface of low visibility. It is, of course, obvious that said foam may be colored to match various skin tones andhues as to fur ther reduce its contrast with the skin.
Another preferred backing 12 which is elastomeric is prepared from polyester fibers approximately 40 mm long and 1.5 deniers which are made into a web on a Garnett Carding Machine, model 74C-l20, Procter and Schwartz, Inc., Philadelphia, Pa., or a Rando Webber Machine, Curlator, Inc., East Rochester, N.Y., or the like. See Copeland, U.S. Pat. No. 3,l2l,O2l for a detailed description of this tape. The web is bonded with Elvace latex, an ethylene/acetate copolymer from E. I. duPont deNemours and Co., Wilmington, Del. It is coated with one of any of the adhesives described below.
Hypoallergenic adhesives are commonly known, such as the polyurethanes described in Trancik, US. Pat. No. 3,769,071. Other suitable adhesives are copolymers of a major amount of an acrylate ester and a minor amount of acrylic acid. Suitable acrylate esters include isoamyl acrylate, the acrylate ester of commercial fusel oil, 2-ethylbutyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, isooctyl acrylate and the like as set forth in U.S. Pat. No. Re. 24,906 (Ulrich), issued Dec., 1960, cf. Stow, US. Pat. No. 2,925,174, issued Feb., 1960. As also taught in that patent, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, acrylamide and methacrylamide can be used as comonomers with the acrylate ester. The ratio of acrylic ester to acrylic acid, or its equivalent, can be in the range of 92-96:84.
As illustrated in FIG. 3, a multi-layer pad 15 comprises an absorbent resilient foam material 16, attached to the carrier tape by pressure-sensitive adhesive 13, an interlayer of highly absorbent non-woven web material 17 sandwiched between a porous non-adherent facing 18 and the resilient foam 16. The non-woven web material is attached to the foam 16 by gluing, heat bonding or the like. The facing 18 is thermally attached to the non-woven web material 17 by the method disclosed in Eldredge, US. Pat. No. 3,285,245.
The absorbent resilient foam 16 can be any absorbent resilient lint-free foam such as polyurethane, polyether, polyester, polyolefin, etc., which are commonly known. Preferably, the foam is an open-cell foam. As noted, the foam must have a thickness and compressive strength so as to provide enough pressure to prevent nictation. Some control of the pressure on the eye can be had by using an elastomeric carrier tape.
The multi-layer pad 15 including the foam 16 is anatomically shaped to conform to the cavity of the external eye. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the pad 15 is of unsymetrical oval shape, normally 50-75 mm in length and 15-50 mm in width. The foam l6 portion is generally from -20 mm thick. Pads of various sizes and shapes can be provided to accommodate infants, chil dren and adults. All layers of pad are lint free.
The absorbent non-woven web material 17 is made of fibers disclosed in Eldredge, US. Pat. No. 3,285,245, such as absorbent cellulose acetate, or rayon fibers. The web is made by known methods. This layer is normally about 2 to 3 mm thick.
The porous non-adherent facing 18 is a release layer made of a thermoplastic film made of organic polymer, such as polypropylene, nylon, or polyethylene. It is inert and non-absorbent to eye exudates. It is preferred to use a facing as described in Eldredge, US. Pat. No. 3,285,245. Heat-sealing techniques of such films to the non-woven web material 17 are also described in the Eldredge patent.
Referring to FIG. 2, the pressure-sensitive adhesive 13 is covered with a release liner 20 used to protect the exposed adhesive until the bandage is used. The liner 20 extends beyond the outer edge of the carrier tape to facilitate removal when ready for use. An oversized pad-shaped aperture 21 is precut into the release liner to facilitate removal from the tape. Any common release liner may be used.
A preferred embodiment of the ophthalmic bandage 40 is illustrated in FIG. 4. The absorbent web material is attached to the absorbent resilient foam 26 by needling web fibers 29 into the foam with a needle loom. These needle-like fibers 29 serve as minute wicks which absorb and wick moisture and exudate away from the eye into the absorbent foam. The absorbent foam 26 comprises a thicker layer than the highly absorbent web interlayer 27 and serves as a sponge to help keep the treated area relatively free of excess moisture and exudate, and thereby help to promote healing. For example, in the case where the treated area is an injured eye, one can readily appreciate the advantages of wicking away the sticky, humid, muggy eye exudate away from the eye. The facing 31, the carrier tape 32 comprising backing 33 and pressuresensitive adhesive 34, and release liner 35 of the bandage 40 are the same as those discussed above with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
The novel ophthalmic bandage of this invention is easily, accurately, and securely applied by a medical professional or the patients themselves.
What is claimed is:
1. An ophthalmic therapeutic pressure bandage com prising:
a. a conformable, permeable carrier tape comprising a backing and a layer of hypoallergenic pressuresensitive adhesive on one surface thereof;

How the green shoots of change are sprouting around Britain
Driving a 4x4 in one part of south-west London could become an even more expensive luxury under plans to penalise gas-guzzlers. Arifa Akbar reports
Thursday 26 October 2006
Mark Stent sat brooding yesterday as he factored in the extra expense his sleek Mercedes four-wheel drive would incur on top of the house he had just agreed to buy in the south-west London borough of Richmond.
When he decided to buy the home in Barnes he had no idea that the Liberal Democrat council was proposing a sliding scale system of parking permit charges for cars based on CO2 emission levels - of which his "Chelsea tractor" came top.
While he admitted to being fully aware of the polluting effects of his "thirsty vehicle", he said it was one of the few options available to Mr Stent, who has four children between two and 11.
"I would have loved to have bought a hybrid 4x4 that's decent. One of the manufacturers did one but it was not my taste of car. There's just no choice of big vehicle out there. I actually phoned Audi up before I bought the Mercedes to ask for a hybrid engine but it's not available yet," he said.
For Mr Stent, 41, who works in the music business, his four-wheel drive was invaluable when he lived in Wiltshire. But he claimed it was also a necessity rather than a luxury in Barnes.
But regardless of the environmental implications of his vehicle he was outraged that certain car-owners should be penalised by local government.
"We live in a democracy. People should have a choice. I agree 4x4s aren't needed for someone with one or two children but we are walking a thin line and we pay enough for the vehicle and the fuel. Anyway, those who buy a 4x4 aren't going to be put off by one extra tax," he added.
Mr Stent was not the only one riled by the news. The announcement by Richmond Council that from January next year owners of band G vehicles, which include 4x4s, Jaguar X-types and the Renault Espace people carrier, could face a 200 per cent increase in charges was met by some indignation. But a council spokesman said not all the borough's 15,000 permit-holders would lose out.
In an effort to combat environmental damage in one of the worst London boroughs for CO2 emissions, the council had targeted the biggest offenders which, if taken off the road, could reduce emissions by 15 per cent. Residents who own environmentally friendly electric cars would also be rewarded by having to pay no charges.
Many in Richmond could appreciate the beneficial effects of the proposal, but some insisted they had more pressing priorities.
Alison Hyde, 23, had not owned a vehicle until six months ago when her son, Tom, was born. She then invested in a BMW, but only because she felt it was essential.
"Having had a baby I think it's much safer to travel in one and our parents live in the north so we're always travelling on the motorway to Liverpool or Wolverhampton.
"Until a year ago I didn't have a car and I don't think you need one in London if you don't have a child. I'm quite green but it's a bit nanny-like to charge people this way but I do understand it. What I'd really like to see is a green 4x4, a big solid car, but there's not one out there yet," she said.
For Claire Dimmer's family the 4x4 debate was proving to be a divisive issue. Ms Dimmer, 34, a mother of two who owned a 1 litre Hyundai, said she had not felt the need of a 4x4 while bringing up her children and felt it appropriate for those who chose to buy such large vehicles to pay the extra charge. "Those vehicles are just part of the culture and lifestyle. Often those sorts of mums in 4x4s also have three-wheel buggies. It's quite status related.
"There's nothing wrong in being aspirational but there's no argument to say you need it. Like anything if you want these things you have to pay for them."
While her 12-year-old daughter, Briony Balch, was firmly behind her, Briony's grandmother, Wendy Robinson, defended her reasons for buying her Toyota RAV four-wheeler. "I'm too old for status symbols. Mine is definitely for practical reasons, it's a small three-door, 2 litre, four-wheel drive which I use to go up to Scotland for gentle off-road journeys. I'm a mature person and I find them far safer to drive. I think the Government is choosing to tackle this issue from the wrong end of the problem; rather than addressing it with the manufacturers they are charging the buyers."
On one street in St Margaret's, where at least eight four-wheel drives lined the road, it was a contentious issue related to "new money families" who moved in a few decades ago.
Irene and David Wise, who have lived in the borough since 1971, were appalled by the number of big cars in the area and felt carsharing could address the issue of the school run. Mrs Wise, 56, said: "In Richmond I see a lot of bull bars on four-wheel drives even though we have no bulls."

Bobby Parnell will close for Mets if Frank Francisco is out
Feb 13, 2013, 10:15 AM EDT
Frank Francisco's odds of being ready for Opening Day seem slim after the Mets reliever told reporters yesterday that his inflamed elbow is "at zero" percent and manager Terry Collins wasted no time lining up a replacement closer.
Marc Carig of New York Newsday reports that Collins called Bobby Parnell last night to tell him he'd get the ninth-inning nod if Francisco isn't ready to begin the season and "then followed up with both Parnell and Francisco this morning."
Recent signing Brandon Lyon has more closing experience, but Parnell saved seven games filling in for Francisco last season and has pitched very well in a setup role for three seasons now. During that time Parnell has thrown 163 total innings with a 2.98 ERA and 158 strikeouts, so Francisco's injury may actually lead to the Mets handing the closer job to their most deserving reliever.
- proudlycanadian - Feb 13, 2013 at 10:27 AM
How long will it be before Brandon Lyon becomes the closer? If they want to win, he is their best option.
- dondada10 - Feb 13, 2013 at 12:03 PM
Best option, in the entire organization, is Noah Syndergaard.
- proudlycanadian - Feb 13, 2013 at 12:21 PM
Too young and too inexperienced.
- tsi431 - Feb 13, 2013 at 10:54 AM
If the Mets want to win, their best option is 2014.
- rayswhitesuit - Feb 13, 2013 at 11:01 AM
Yes, I believe that at this point in time, who's closing is the Mets' biggest issue. Glad they have a succession plan in place!

The book for UNIX programming,
By A Customer
This review is from: Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment (APC) (Hardcover)
Tragically, mr. Stevens passed away 4 days ago.
However, I am certain that APUE will live on for a long time. I have been a professional UNIX programmer for several years, and no other book, no other course, no other person has taught me as much about UNIX programming as Steven and his book.
Every library function, every system call is meticously described. Especially valuable is the book's description on how each function works under various flavours of UNIX: Is this covered by POSIX, does it come from BSD or System 5?
APUE is the only book that has a permanent place on my desk. If you do UNIX programming, you should have it too.
Thank you, Richard. I wish though I had thanked you while you still lived.

It is so heartwarming to see a story like this. This man and his family deserve great blessings. This story also speaks well of the robust Israeli society. On one hand, we see how Israel is no different from other nations, in the sense of having corrupt government. At the same time, it also has a free press and that should be applauded. Letting the world see the ugly flaws of Israel makes it that much easier for us to all get along. If you're close to G-d's heart, that's wonderful. Such a thing should not affect the ability of others to do the same, regardless of their spiritual path. A person who insists on being superior to everyone else can find themselves in quite an inferior moral position, which is what makes a story like this so powerful. Here we have one of your 'filthy Arabs' showing us what true Humanity means. Kol Hakavod indeed, and shame on anyone who is truly surprised.

Read the comments (or add your own)
Wonderful bracelets. Such nice work and design.
Totally awesome and I love your buttons. I recognize the buffalo button but I really love the one on the blue bracelet with the gold thread.
Wonderful bracelets….it would be very hard to choose just one!
Great variations on your trademark bracelet, Becky ! The last one is unique – - where did you find the bible locket ?
Thanks! The locket was at Michaels on a clearance strand of Blue Moon Beads.
Oh my gosh Becky! All of these are.fabulous. The 2 aqua ones are my faves though. This is such a great design, I love all the variations.
Such beautiful designs and I love how you've turned the clasp into the focal piece! My favorites are the first two under "Additional Images" — the first because I love blue and silver, the second because I love the leaf-design button paired with the forest-green beads!
Wow!!! were'd you'd fnd the speed? (menphetomines) or have you had some of these done for awhile?
By the way – I spelled 'men….' phonetically – sort of – LOL.
And they are REALLY nice, pretty
Wonderful variations! Love the buffalo nickel button!!
You really have perfected this design!! They are soo cool! I especially like the first two – my colors! Into faves you go!
Ee-ne-meeney-miney-mo … how difficult to choose. Might one of these be on its way to Zaque? More soon … xo
Wow. Can't say which I like best. They're all cool in their own way.
Wow, thanks! Merilee-short email soon.
My favs are the green bracelets and buffalo coin design. I like these– I can see why they are a hit!
Yes, I will join the green fans. I LOVE those twists, what are they? As always, I love this design you created and that you've mixed it up a bit by adding the smaller stones in between. Too cool. I was wanting to make one with the rainbow blue quartz rice I got from LB but I wouldn't want to step on your toes.
I love them all, can't pick just one to be my fave
Wow,Becky…you have outdone yourself with these lovely works of art. I went down the page,saying"This is my fav!No, WAIT..this one. Nope..the green..wait,hold on,oooh at the blue!" LOL
Thanks so much, everyone!! Angela-go ahead! Stealing is allowed. I have the blue green quartz to try a different shape. I bet the rainbow quartz would look fantastic!
Such a great and versatile design.

Using Human Hair to Fight Melanoma
April 30, 2014
Article's tools:
A drug made from specially modified proteins from human hair may soon be used to fight melanoma—skin cancer. The formula for the drug has been developed by researchers from the Mossakowski Medical Research Center run by the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw.
Before the new drug is available, the formula will be used to develop a range of cosmetics and ointments for protecting the skin that the researchers say should hit the market next year.
Melanoma is a type of cancer that poses the greatest threat to human skin. Human hair is composed of a mixture of proteins, including keratin, which gives hair flexibility and protects it from chemical and physical factors. The researchers decided to check if specially processed hair proteins—in the form of peptides—can be used to inhibit the growth of cancer.
"We came to the conclusion that hair can provide biological protection. We assumed that peptide proteins coming from hair could offer protection against the formation of cancer cells," says Prof. Andrzej Lipkowski from the Mossakowski Medical Research Center.
In order to check this hypothesis, the researchers teamed up with oncologists to carry out tests.
"It turned out that all the tested melanoma cell lines were inhibited by our proprietary mixture of peptides," says Lipkowski. "It slowed down not only the development of typical cancer cells, but also extremely malignant cells."
Scientists have already patented their method for processing hair protein. Meanwhile, they are planning a range of other uses for their peptide formula. Before it is used as a drug, it can become a component of cosmetics and ointments that are expected to hit the market next year.
The formation of skin cancer is the result of long-term effect of solar radiation, not only during sunbathing on the beach, but also during simple walks in the sun. The peptides developed by the researchers could be used for prevention, especially as they also nourish and regenerate the skin, according to Lipkowski.
Initially, the researchers thought that hair from other species, including sheep hair, could be used to inhibit human tumor cells. However, it turned out that despite the similarity of the chemical composition of human hair and wool, peptides from hair have a specific effect on each species. Therefore, although clinical trials on humans have not yet been carried out, it is clear that peptides from human hair work best against human skin cancers, the researchers say.
In order to be able to protect the skin, hair first needs to be processed in the right way. "The idea is to isolate protein fragments from hair without any dramatic chemical modifications," says Lipkowski.
The scientists described their formula as "a soluble mixture of peptides after enzymatic degradation of hair fragments." The best enzyme system for this process is ordinary pepsin, an enzyme that digests food protein in the stomach, according to Lipkowski. "It seemed to us that the use of this enzyme would reasonably well simulate the action of different enzymes acting on the skin. Both the stomach and the skin have similar acidic environments," says Lipkowski.
Now the most important part of the quest for a new anti-cancer drug will be finding the most active substances among various types of peptides. This is the long-term goal of the research project—entitled "Peptide hydrolysates of hair proteins inhibiting the development of melanoma"—being conducted by Lipkowski's team.
The research project won a medal from the French Association of Inventors and Producers (AIFF), and a special award from the Biomedical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences at the 112th Concours Lépine International Invention Exhibition in Paris. The researchers also won a gold medal at the INPEX2013 invention exhibition in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The nearly zl.1 million research project has been co-financed with a grant as part of the Mazovia Peptide Cluster, a research and business cluster that brings together the Mossakowski Medical Research Center, the University of Warsaw and businesses interested in transforming the idea into a commercial product.

BJP leads morcha to Maha Assembly in Nagpur; targets Ajit Pawar
Nagpur: Opposition BJP on Tuesday led a massive march to Vidhan Bhawan here where winter session of the Maharashtra legislature is underway.
The morcha was organised to highlight the burning issues including re-induction of senior NCP leader Ajit Pawar as deputy chief minister, irrigation `scam` in the state and FDI policy to name a few.
Thousands of party workers participated in the march that started from Reshimbagh ground and culminated at the Vidhan Bhawan.
Senior BJP leaders including party president Nitin Gadkari, Deputy Speaker in Lok Sabha Gopinath Munde, Leaders of Opposition in Legislative Assembly and Council Eknath Khadse and Vinod Tawde, respectively, and party MLAs walked the stretch and delivered speeches.
The top leaders slammed the Centre for its policy of opening multi-brand retail in the country to foreign supermarket chains and its `failure` over reining in escalating prices of essential commodities.
Police detained some of the party workers from outside Vidhan Bhawan for violation of Prohibitory Orders under Bombay Police Act for participating in the march before releasing them.

This is the time the institutions and funds that control the float of NILE run up the stock. So in the case NILE that NILE can not create enough profit from fund contributions to meet projections, the decline in the stock acutally just takes it to where is was prior to the manipulated run up. NILE's profits are created by cash flow contributions by the funds and institutions. I have show you before how funds can make millions by trading very few shares on a controlled bid and ask of NILE. This will be critical this quarter as NILE has failed to sell high priced diamonds in an economy that is supposed to be growing.....but is not. Follow the pattern of this fund and institutional manipulation and play the stock accordingly. I do not know if the funds have enough money to feed to NILE this quarter.....But that is why they have kept reducing the estimates....So they can beat very, very weak numbers.
Thank you for your assessment on NILE forecast.

TAMPA, Fla. -- During the draft, one of the phrases we heard frequently from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was "catch radius."
About 90 minutes into Friday's rookie camp, we saw exactly what coach Lovie Smith and general manager Jason Licht were talking about. During a 7-on-7 drill, first-round draft pick Mike Evans made a leaping, one-handed catch on a ball that appeared to be overthrown by quarterback Brett Smith.
Evans, who was picked No. 7 overall, fully extended his 6-foot-4 body and snatched the ball with what had to be an extra-large catch radius.
"You take a player that high in the draft, you expect to see some spectacular plays,'' Smith said.
Evans' catch was the highlight of the day, but he made several other nice catches.
"We haven't been surprised by an awful lot,'' Smith said.
Evans has been as good as advertised. He got a head start working with the veterans earlier in the week. Smith said Evans has been picking up the offense very quickly.
"Mike, of course, has great hands and the physical ability,'' Smith said. "You can see that. It does take a lot for a rookie to come in. We're not there. We're not game ready by any means right now. But we like the progress we've seen since day one.''
Evans' size was one of the reasons the Bucs drafted him and Smith said he's happy with what he's seen so far.
"It's good to see him up close going against a 5-10 defensive back,'' Smith said. "We have some big, tall men out there making plays. He has excellent hands. We saw that in college.''
On Friday, they started to see those hands in the NFL.

Tower of David Museum's Facebook page 370.
(photo credit:Facebook)
As Facebook switches to its new "Timeline" design, some users are already taking advantage of the revamped layout to exemplify what they do best.Launched this week, Jerusalem's Tower of David Museum's Facebook page boasts possibly the oldest "Timeline" on the social networking site's newest technology.Its birth is dated at 1099, when the Crusaders conquered Jerusalem and established a fortress where the museum stands today."A timeline makes perfect sense for us, because we already work based on a timeline," Rose Ginosar, director of special projects at the museum, told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.She said that a team had been working intensely over the past month to find photographs, film, illustrations and historical commentary from the museum in order to provide visitors to the Timeline with an in-depth look at Jerusalem's ancient and modern history.Sitting at the entrance to the Old City near the Jaffa Gate, the tower tells its own story of Jerusalem with insights into the many kings, princes, generals and pilgrims that have passed by its walls."We would love to talk to Facebook and tell them that we might even need them to create a longer timeline for us," commented Ginosar, adding that the team planned to add even more information to the Timeline in the coming months."We have many artifacts from even earlier periods, and we are starting to photograph them so that we can add them to the Timeline, too," she continued.While the social networking site has yet to respond to the museum's request, Ginosar said that within the last week since the new page went live, the museum had gained many more followers from all over the world.One of the main goals was to make the page as interactive as possible, she said.If people have old photographs of themselves or relatives visiting the museum or the Old City, they are invited to send those to the development team, which is hoping to build a "living" timeline as well.According to Ginosar, there is intense discussion in the museum industry on how institutions can best utilize and engage in the new wave of social media platforms, and a debate over whether they add or detract from bringing visitors to the physical buildings."We all have to get used to the idea that the world is changing and it is no longer about people simply viewing history, but more about people taking part in history," she observed. "A museum has to go beyond its walls and allow those who are interested the opportunity to interact even if they are more than 10,000 miles away."The aim, she said, is for people to know that if they have questions about Jerusalem's history, they can log onto Facebook, find the Tower of David's page and get the answers.Asked whether she believed that presenting all the information online would reduce the number of real-life visitors, Ginosar said it would actually have the opposite effect."When people start interacting with something, then it only increases their curiosity," she said. "If someone based in Oklahoma goes online to read about the museum and learn through our timeline, then you can be sure that the first place that person will visit if they come to Israel is the museum."
