When I posted on the government shutdown last week, I grabbed a photo from the closed-down Statue of Liberty. It was an enticing editorial choice: Give me your tired, your poor, your furloughed federal employees yearning to just do their damn jobs again. But it was also probably an unhelpful choice.
Butch Matthews has changed his mind about Obamacare. BCBS has been jacking up his rates for years, and Matthews—who self-identifies as a "very strong Republican"—was skeptical that the health-care law would help him any.

Marble Museum seeks tenants rent freeBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | January 28,2013PROCTOR – The Vermont Marble Museum is looking for a few good tenants to fill space in the building that houses the museum – rent free.
Building owners Marsha and Martin Hemm are putting the word out that they're looking for industrial, retail, studio and office tenants to occupy the remaining space in the factory building with up to eight months of free rent.
The Hemms signed a deal at the end of last year to sell most of the museum collection to the Preservation Trust of Vermont for $250,000. The Trust also has a one-year option to buy the building from the Hemms for $480,000. Of that amount, the Trust has raised $125,000 toward the purchase. including a $100,000 donation from the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board.
"It will ease in the long term operation (of the museum) to have additional tenants in the building for sure," Paul Bruhn, executive director of the Preservation Trust of Vermont, said Monday. "And I think it will make a difference to donors or potential donors to know that the building will be self-sufficient long term."
There are six existing tenants in the building, including small manufacturers, retail, studio/workshop, office and storage, Marsha Hemm said in an email.
That leaves 16,735 square feet available to lease: 3,000 square feet of finished, air conditioned office space, with conference and lunch room; a 4,835- square-foot, three-bay garage and workshop with mechanics pit, office and bathroom; 800 square feet of retail space; a 600-square-foot studio; and 7,500 square feet of light production space.

This is my first month charting. I use a Lady Comp at 5am every day. I am very confused by what is going on. My chart doesn't look like anyone else's.
Thank you!
Hang in there - it is often hard to see the patterns your first month. It looksl ike your temps are starting to go up and I'm wondering if you ovulated yesterday. You'll have to wait on another few days temps to know for sure.
You have two open circles - CD19 & 20 - did you temp earlier or later? If so, those temps might be off a little bit.
How long have your cycles been in the past?

I am not convinced O has happened at all yet-need more temps...MAYBE yesterday....will just hae to wait and see.
ff doesn't show you O'd the day before ewcm...there are no crosshairs there...it may have PREDICTED that was when you were to ovulate?? maybe? you didn't O the day before you had ewcm.
if you don't like your crazy wacky temps you could vag temp...I am a big fan of vag temping...it is so much less affected by 'outside disturbances' and is much more reliable.
your chart is not wacky at all-very, very rarely is there a perfect chart. hang in there!

The Brazilian authorities have cleared Quest Diagnostics' Simplexa™ Dengue molecular test kit, which was developed by the firm's Focus Diagnostics business. The firm claims the blood assay, which is run on the portable 3M™ Integrated Cycler, is the first commercial real-time PCR Dengue test to be approved for use by Brazil's public and private health laboratories. The assay is designed to quantitatively detect and differentiate between the four Dengue serotypes, and provides results in about an hour following sample extraction, Quest claims.
The Simplexa test family has been developed and is manufactured by the firm's wholly owned Focus business, through an exclusive deal with 3M. In May 2010 a Simplexa assay was the first test kit to be cleared by FDA for aiding in the detection and differentiation of the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus. Additional FDA-cleared Simplexa tests are available for detecting influenza A, influenza B, and respiratory syncytial virus. Simplexa tests for Clostridium difficile, cytomegalovirus, Epstein Barr, and BK viruses are CE marked and distributed in Europe. The Simplexa Flu A/B & RSV Direct test was granted a CE mark and launched in Europe and other countries recognizing the CE mark just last month. The Epstein Barr and BK virus assays were granted a CE mark and launched in April.
In addition to the Simplexa product line, Focus also markets the HerpeSelect® HSV serology assay, and a line of DxSelect™ IFA and ELISA assays.

Three Types of Ford Suspensions
Ford has had three different types of front suspensions for nearly all of their trucks. Each comes with its own advantages and disadvantages and in this article we'll take a quick look into each one.

Comments | By Justin Banner - September 5, 2014
By Bob Kennedy The removal of the axle was about the easiest thing to do. This took about 3 hours. It consisted of removing the pitman arm, shocks, coil spring retainer, the Radius Arm nuts and the TTB Pivot bolts. It sat on 2 floor jacks as I did this, releasing the jacks […] More »

One thing that you might want to do if you have very long lists of content is make them collapse or not display until the user clicks on a trigger that makes the content appear. A good example of this is the ITCS Service Catalog. If the page displayed all the links at once, the page gets very long, so instead we displayed the categories, then reveal the links when the user clicks on the category name.
To do this, we use jQuery, an open source JavaScript library. Since jQuery is loaded on every CommonSpot page, all of its library functions are readily available for you to use at any time. This tutorial only some of the most simple tasks that jQuery is capable of. You can read about everything it can do at the jQuery Documentation site.
Setting up the HTML Content

Click Here to Toggle Links

Blackboard

Help Desk

PirateId

A to Z Index

Banner

Email/Phone

OneStop

Calendar

Accessibility

The next step is to hide the links when the page loads. What we want to hide is the list element that starts with
 and ends with
. The id that I have given this list is important, as that will let us change this list but not others on the page that we don't want to hide.
So to hide this, we will use jQuery. To explain simply what jQuery does: it selects (or finds) an element or elements and then usually performs some tasks on what is selected. The code follows this pattern:
$("[what you want to select]").[what you want to do to what is selected];
We want to select the ul with the id hideableContent, so the specific code is this:
The string "#hideableContent" tells the selector what to look for and is made up of two parts: the pound sign, and hideableContent.
The #hideableContent select the element with an id of hideableContent. This is case sensitive, so make sure you match the id exactly. Also, make sure that you use an id only once per page. If you use the same id value more than once unpredictable things will happen. The pound sign tells the selector that the next word is an id. The toggle() function hides what is visible and shows what is hidden. Since the content is visible when the page loads, this code will hide it.
You can also use a dot and the class name to select everything that has a specific class (e.g. $('.collapsible) would select everything that has a class of collapsible).
You can also select html tags by using just the tag with no dot or pound sign (e.g. $('ul') would select every unordered list in the document).
You can select tags that are within other tags by putting them together with a space (e.g. $('ul li') would select all the list items within all the unordered lists on a page).
And finally (actually this is a far from comprehensive list, but it is all I'm going to cover today) you can limit the selection to tags that have a class or id (e.g. $('ul.collapsible') would select all unordered lists that have a class of collapsible. These are just a small part of the selectors. Can read about all the other options at the jQuery Documentation site.
The ready() Function
To get our code to work, the page needs to execute it. This is done by using the ready() function. It looks like this:
$(document).ready ( function () { [Code we want to execute goes here] });
This is a function that is run automatically when the page is "ready", i.e. when the DOM (Document Object Model) hierarchy has been fully constructed. So, to hide the list on page load, first you would put a JavaScript Include element on your page. Then you have two options. You could put the JavaScript code in the Script Input box, like this:
Or, you can save the code in a separate file, upload it via the tools page, and then include the location of the file, as here, where I have saved the code in file collapse-version1.js and uploaded it via my tools page. This seems the better option to me, because to update the page, all I have to do is make the changes to my JavaScript file and upload it, overwriting the previous version.
When the page reloads, you can see that the list is now hidden.
Activating the Toggle
The last step is to make the "Click Here to Toggle Links" active. I'm using a text hyperlink, but you can use anything you want, for example a button or an image. It just has to be selectable.
So first we will make that text a link, but instead of linking to a page, we set the link to be "#". So that part of the HTML code will now look like this:

Click Here to Toggle Links

Next, we want to add an id to the link, so that we can select it when it is clicked on. The Rich Text Editor in CommonSpot will not let you do this without switching to HTML view, so click on the button. It will show this:
Change the  to , then click the HTML button again and the Finish button.
The only thing left to do is write the jQuery code that will actually do the toggle. To do this, first you select the link, like this:
and add the click() function and the start of the code for the click function:
$('#toggleLink').click( function() { [toggling code will go here] });
All this code does is tell jQuery to select the link and then do something when it is clicked on.
The code that will actually toggle the list is the same as we did when the document is ready:
So the whole JavaScript code will be:
$(document).ready( function() { $('#hideableContent').toggle(); $('#toggleLink').click( function() { $('#hideableContent').toggle(); }); });
And that is it. Your page should now work like this one.
As I said, this just a tiny example of what you can do. The jQuery documents cover it all. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will do my best to find an answer.

A Carbon County hotel was forced to evacuate following a Friday night fire.
Officials say the fire -- which they are calling "suspicious" -- started around 11:20 p.m. in a dumpster behind the Hampton Inn off Route 209 and Rock Street. The fire spread to the rear portion of building.
Firefighters from eight departments needed about two hours to extinguish the blaze.
There were no reported injuries.
Hampton Inn patrons were offered accommodations at nearby hotels.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
As of early Saturday morning, it was unknown if the hotel had been allowed to re-open.

Clinical Professor Wendy Kaplan Publishes in Massachusetts Law Review
Professor Wendy Kaplan's latest publication tackles the dynamic world of sentencing practice in the Massachusetts district courts. The article lays out the foundational concepts of sentencing practice and provides an overview of sentencing options available in the district court.
"Too often, sentencing practice is ignored during case preparation because the advocate is concentrating on the legal issues, not the dispositional ones. A zealous advocate must consider the potential sentencing decisions as well as the trial decisions," said Professor Kaplan. "Sentencing should never be considered as an afterthought or a boilerplate argument. We are dealing with individuals and not all sentences are appropriate for every person. This article will help practitioners and judges engage in more enlightened sentencing practice by understanding the range of sentencing options and where the areas of discretion are allowed."
The article highlights the collateral consequences of a conviction. A conviction can affect eligibility for public housing benefits, educational scholarship assistance, and professional licensing, to name a few. "Sometimes we see an 18-19 year old who gets branded for life because of some minor criminal infraction that we would not find reprehensible. Even though the actual sentence might be light, the collateral consequences of the conviction have the potential to punish the young adult in perpetuity."
Professor Kaplan teaches in BU Law's Criminal Law Clinic. The Clinic teaches students to prepare two parallel tracks for each case: the legal argument and the sentencing argument. Although in practice the disposition phase often gets short shrift, BU Clinic students learn early on to always prepare well thought-out sentencing recommendations.
"Ultimately, the goal is to individualize the defendant before the court so that the judge has a broad picture of the person standing there," said Professor Kaplan. "Not only is this approach more humane, but we do a disservice to defendants and to society by adopting a one-size-fits-all approach that punishes defendants without considering their contributions, their potential, and their life circumstances."

See it will be a worse beating for Chambers because Wlad is not going to take too many chances, thats just how Dr. Steelhammer performs his operation. So the beating and Chambers being hammered with that jab will be prolonged.
While Vitali on the other hand likes to fight in there a little bit and he should be able to quickly put down a guy who was put down by Travis Walker and buzzed by a passed his prime out of shape McCline who was just there to take a beating for a paycheck.

I have stayed at the Koch twice, once in June of 2013 and most recently in February 2016. Both times, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The Koch is quiet and the rooms are clean and a huge value. Breakfast is more than enough and very good. Candy and Hilo are a pleasure to converse with in the mornings over breakfast. As an added bonus, if you're a train lover like I am, you can sit and watch the trains pass by all day from the hotel porch!

I thought this place was absolutely awesome! We had family and friends all pile in and it far exceeded our expectations. It was actually pretty cool having the train come by (I believe it was originally intended as a hotel for rail passengers), and most of us slept right through it and those that woke up had no trouble getting right back to sleep. We enjoyed sitting out on the 2nd story patio until all hours visiting, and Candy and Hilo's breakfast and hospitality were GREAT! Very, very nice folks. Excellent value here.

This B&B caught my attention because of it's unique look. We were taking a B&B trip through Texas and the Koch Hotel looked interesting. It wasn't fancy but it was comfortable, and Candy fixed a big breakfast, although we had to eat very early on a week day. The trains that go through all night long did take some getting used to...guess that is why it is called a railroad hotel. Still you can't go wrong for the price.

My husband and I had the most wonderful time with our friends while staying at the J M Koch's Hotel! The Breakfast was amazing and the atmosphere was incredible! I was able to learn a lot about the History of the Bed and Breakfast by reading some of the articles that were placed in the house. We enjoyed our stay! Thank you Candy and Hilo! We greatly appreciate your hospitality!

My husband and I have wanted to stay here for sometime now...It belonged to his grandmother when he was a little boy...It was such fun to go upstairs and check out all of the rooms that had been off limits to him as a child, since it was a boarding house at the time...you can't ask for nicer people than Candy and Hilo...we felt like we were with family. We plan to go again as soon as we can.

We stayed at this charming B&B on our way home to Houston after camping. The hosts were very accomodating considering they had a family emergency out of state. The amenities were wonderful, the town full of history, and dinner at the local saloon and restaurant was fabulous. We will stay here again!

We stayed for 2 nights in this wonderful inn and were thoroughly impressed with the quality of the room, the service, and the fantastic breakfasts provided by the owners. The inn and the rooms are restored to a 1900s setting with all of the comforts of the current century (satellite television, central air and heat, etc). The hosts seemed to go beyond the extra mile to make sure breakfast was great. It was a fantastic stay. One caution, however, is that all of the rooms have clawfoot bath tubs with no showers. It wasn't an issue for us, but if getting into and out of a deep tub is an issue, be aware of that going in. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the Greater San Antonio area.

My husband and I were looking for a room near Sabinal when were fleeing Hurricane Ike in Sept., 2008. We were so fortunate to find the best place in Texas, in our opinion. The atmosphere was quiet, comfortable, accessible and very comfortable not to mention the beautiful antique decor and hospitality of this quaint little town and the owners, Candy and Hilo Delbosque. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and did not want to leave. I would recomend this to anyone and everyone if they want some relaxion and good food. Our hosts were very gracious and cordial. We can't wait to go back.

We chose this hotel because of its history, value, and location convenient to San Antonio and we were thrilled with our stay! The hotel has been lovingly restored to an early 1900s appearance, and the owners have placed photos, histories, and documents about the hotel and its rennovations throughout the rooms for the visitors to enjoy. We were the only people there for the evening so we got to see the whole hotel and there is not a room there that we did not like! The setting is perfect for a relaxing and peaceful getaway, from the front porch rocking chairs to the small town of D'Hanis. The resaturant nearby, Bill & Rosa's K&K Steakhouse and Saloon was delicious and the weekend live entertainment is fantastic! Candy's breakfast was wonderful, as was the company of her and her husband, who both joined us for breakfast. We could not wait to get home to recommend this hotel to all of our friends and I guarantee that we will go back!

In what was the closest vote in its 11-year history, Hamburg senior Jeremiah Bill graciously accepted the Trench Trophy at a banquet held Wednesday night before 220 at the Lancaster Elks.
The 6-foot-2, 265-pound Bill was presented the award, given annually to the top lineman in Western New York, by retired NFL offensive line coach Jim McNally, a native of Kenmore.
"It means a lot of hard work paying off," Bill said. "It shows anyone can achieve what they put themselves out to do. It's also an award for my teammates. It was all of us working together and we had a lot of young guys step up."
Winning the Trench Trophy also comes with a $1,000 scholarship named for the late John Gebhardt, one of the Trench Trophy's founders. Bill is undecided on his college choice but is considering the University at Buffalo, the University of Rochester and Cornell.
Bill becomes the first player from Hamburg to win the honor. The Bulldogs finished 2-3 this season in Class A South.
Linemen from all 78 high school football teams in Western New York were eligible. Bill, an offensive tackle and defensive end, was also recently named second team All-WNY on the O-line. The guest speaker for the event was 2009 Trench Trophy winner Jasen Carlson, a graduate of Southwestern, who played left guard for the University at Buffalo.
This year's vote was so close there were five linemen within three points of each other. A committee of 50-plus members scouted games during the season eventually narrowing their list down before choosing Bill.
Trench Trophy scout Dave Hajduk said he saw Bill play in person and also watched plenty of film.
"If you look, he was the complete package," said Hajduk. "He could box somebody and look to make another block. He's got the right attitude. He played to the whistle. The word for him was aggression under control."
Trench Trophy co-chairman Ed Sciera said Bill was identified early as a possible winner. Bill scored high grades for technique and consistency.
"We had him in our data base from last year so we had a little heads up," he said. "We had guys watching him early as potential finalist We liked his consistency on both sides of the ball, subsequent scouts confirmed that, but it was the close vote. In all the years this was the closest vote."
The third annual Underclassman Awards, sponsored by Dave Hack's Be the Best Football camp, were also part of the event. First team All-WNY selection George Attea of Williamsville North and third team OL Michael Bowers of Randolph and were this year's recipients.

HIST UN 3306 The Women's Suffrage Movement
Wednesdays 10:10-12PM
Susan Pedersen
The British women's suffrage movement was one of the significant and dramatic social movements of modern times. Tens of thousands of women joined suffrage organizations and took part in suffrage activism in the decade before World War I, some of them adopting what were known as "militant" tactics of public disturbance and property damage, and of the hunger-strike in prison. The suffrage question and the spectacle of militancy preoccupied politicians, divided parties, friends and families, mesmerized the public and the press, and utterly transformed the lives of the women who became caught up in it. The movement spawned novels, plays, and artistic works of all kinds; it fostered new political theories and practices; it created new identities and new psychological orientations. Historians to this day argue over its meanings and legacies.
HIST UN 3683 Violence and History in Latin America
Wednesdays 4:10-6PM
Pablo Piccato
This course will build the conceptual tools to understand Latin American violence in a historical perspective. We will look at violence as a component of oppressive power, class and gender relations. We will also consider the productive effects of violence, as violent practices constitute politics, nationalism, masculinity and revolutionary thought. We will also look at the way in which violence, particularly state but also revolutionary violence, generated enduring social efforts to seek justice and preserve the memory of victims. The course will combine readings on theory, history and the social sciences intended to build a historical perspective. In the second half of the semester, the focus will turn to the research and writing of a paper that will be based on primary sources but will also engage the readings from the first part of the semester.
HIST GU 4923 Narratives of WWII
Tuesdays 10:10-12PM
Carol Gluck
An examination of literary and cinematic narratives of the Second World War produced in the decades since 1940 in Europe, America, and Asia. The analytic approach centers both on the historicity of, and the history in, the texts, with the goal of questioning the nature of narrative in different forms through a blend of literary and historical approaches.

Erislandy Lara: Extra Weight Won't Help Canelo Win
By Edward Chaykovsky
WBA 'regular' junior middleweight champion Erislandy Lara (19-1-2, 12KOs) is not worried about Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (43-1-1, 31KOs) coming in much heavier than him later tonight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Both boxers weighed in at the catch-weight of 155-pounds.
Canelo is expected to rehydrate to around 170-pounds or even more. Lara plans to stay lighter for speed and defensive quickness. Canelo likes to pack on the weight, after he makes weight, for some added power when he explodes with his rapid combinations.
"Every fighter that I've fought has been heavier than me and I've been able to deal with them, so we're not worried about Canelo's size. Everyone goes into the ring how they feel comfortable. I'm not worried about his weight on fight day," Lara said.
"We're going to wait for him. We're going to see what he can show. The Cuban style is the best style in boxing. Everybody knows that we win the most medals at the Olympics, at international tournaments. And that's shown throughout our history."
people talking like Lara some midget, he is a big guy at the weight, good height, braod and very muscular, far more than Canelo.Comment by northstar on 07-12-2014

Longer days to make up for snow days?
Posted: 6:03 PM EST Feb 19, 2014 Updated: 7:56 PM EST Feb 19, 2014
With all the winter weather delaying and canceling school, many are wondering how students will make up for all the missed days.
Officials with the Pennsylvania Department of Education say schools are required to offer 180 days before June 30th.
But schools can apply to have their minimum time requirement calculated in hours not days, so instead of adding more days the existing days would be longer.
It's not yet known if any local schools will apply for the waiver.

Boxing is all about ethnicity's supporting their man, look at the African-American boxers out there now. Only two guys I can think have a fanbase; Mayweather who crossed over to the mainstream and Ward who has the only gold medal for an American in a generation. I guess maybe Alexander too, but his crowds sure look like they have dwindled even in his own city.
Unless you're Mexican or boricua, it will be an uphill battle to win fans in the USA.

He has loads of talent and seems to also work hard, so he's on a good path, but he's going to have to prove it against quality opposition for me to believe. Not chumps like Perez. Escobedo is decent and should be a fair step forward.

He's got talent and everything. some say his the next mayweather, but mayweather is far special IMO. careful matchmakings, big wins, he needs that. he'll be next big thing. I hope he doesnt ruin his career and will choose thr right things like floyd did. but then, yes he looks like a monkey, especially with his fight against ponce. i dont really like his face.

text: Copporesults 1-5 of 5 Piero Coppo founded the Coppo winery in 1892 in the town of Canelli, located in Piedmont, Italy. Canelli is widely recognized as the undisputed capital of Moscato winesItalys famous sweet sparkling wine (also known as Muscat). Although the region grew to fame as a result of Moscato, Asti is also rich in Barberaa bold, native red grape. Barbera flourishes in the areas of Monferrato and Langa, and because of this unique terroir, the D.O.C Barbera dAsti is now one of the finest wine classifications in all of Italy. The Coppo family produces 3 distinct Barbera wines todayLAvvocata, Camp du Rouss, and the award winning Pomorosso. Piero Coppo was later succeeded by his son Luigi, who expanded the company to include other classic still and sparkling wines from Piedmont made with the native varietals of the area, such as Gavi and Chardonnay. Luigi also provided his winery with the facilities and equipment needed to compete in the difficult, but growing, post-war market. Today, Piero's four grandsonsPiero, Gianni, Paolo and Robertomanage the company and have successfully integrated new styles with traditional viticulture. Massimiliano, "Max, son of Piero (the founders grandson) is now the first 4th generation Coppo to enter the family business. As the Coppo family moves into the 21st century, the same values that built the winery shine through: loyal dedication to the traditions of the Asti region. The Coppos have set an ambitious goal: to create world class wines while being loyal to the traditional grapes and winemaking philosophy of their Piedmont origins. Considered "Barbera specialists worldwide, the Coppo winery has received the Tre Bicchieri award numerous times for Pomorosso (1990,1999,2001,2003,2004,2005,2007) and for Monteriolo Chardonnay: 2005,2006.

Big rig stuck in the Notch
CAMBRIDGE A stuck tractor trailer has forced the closure of Vermont Route 108 through Smugglers Notch. Vermont state police say the truck was stuck on the narrow, winding mountain road that passes between rock cliffs around 2 p.m. Wednesday. Police say the truck, which was hauling about 99,000 pounds of sand to the Stowe Mountain Golf Club, was heavily damaged and hung up on large boulders.
By Wednesday evening sand was being off-loaded from the trailer so the vehicle could be removed and the road reopened.
Authorities say tractor trailers and large buses are prohibited on the mountain pass between Stowe and Jeffersonville and the road is marked with warning signs.
Police say the driver has been ticketed for failure to obey traffic control devices and equipment violations.MORE IN This Just InMORRISVILLE Overtime magic from Chloe Schiff and Maralina Moore gave the Solons a huge...

The normal horse's eye is rich brown with the black pupil. A milky patch indicates cataract or some other form of ailment. Corneal ulcers and Uveitis are the most common eye diseases in horses. Corneal ulcers usually respond well to treatment. Sometimes they can be deep and require extensive surgery to preserve the horse's eye. Uveitis is an inflammation of the eye and causes much pain. It can occur along with the corneal ulcer and should be treated as soon as possible.
Cornea is a curved transparent portion of the eyeball that covers the iris and the pupil from penetration by dust and allows light into the eye. The iris is the colored part of the eye that controls the size of the pupil. The cornea contains almost no blood vessels, but many nurves. When the cornea is damaged by infection or trauma, a milky patch may appear which may result in loss of vision. Inflammation of the cornea may result from viral infections, such as equine influenza (a viral infection causing fever, coughing, and respiratory difficulty; some cause abortion in mares). The main causes of ulcers are infection, poor blood circulation, nerve damage, trauma, nutritional imbalances and cancers. Recent studies show that eye infections such as conjunctivitis, keratitis, and uveitis may be caused by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes resulting from direct exposure of the eyes of susceptible animals to high numbers of the pathogen. Listeriosis affects wild and domestic animals as well as humans.
Corneal ulcers are infected wounds with potential risks to impair your horse vision if left untreated. Discharge from the affected eye with some builtup in the corner of the eyelid. The eyeball appears cloudy, fine red lines in the cornea which is normally clear. The eye might be very sensitive when the horse clamps down his eyelid. This is an emergency and you should call your veterinarian immediately.
Equine recurrent uveitis (ERU), also known as periodic ophthalmia or moon blindness, is one of the most common causes of blindness in horses. Classic treatment of ERU includes mydriatics, corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Despite vigorous topical and systemic treatment, however, in many cases, the prognosis for preserving vision remains poor. Despite extensive clinical research, the causes of equine recurrent uveitis (ERU) are still unknown. Recent studies show the presence of leptospires bacteria and antibodies in the affected horses. (Leptospirosis takes place by direct contact with urine of infected animals or by indirect contact with contaminated food or water).
Glaucoma is a disease associated with elevated pressure within the eye. Symptoms include cloudy cornea, dilated pupils, enlarged eyeball and inflammation of the iris. If left untreated, glaucoma leads to retina and optic nerve damage and blindness. The equine eye gets its nutrition from fluids that run through special pathways in and out.

One of the Central Savannah River Area's most prominent and longest-serving churchmen has completed a major chapter in his career and has a retirement event set for Sunday at 4 p.m.
The Rev. Nathaniel Irvin, senior pastor at Old Storm Branch Baptist Church, offered a few thoughts Friday afternoon on the road behind and ahead of him.
"Really, retiring from God's work is never, never something you would do, so ... we don't quit until God calls us home," said the 84-year-old. "He gets all the glory and all the credit."
He described his shift as one "from pastoring God's people to doing things for God's people that are not necessarily part of the local congregation."
Irvin, also known from his years as a teacher and principal when local schools underwent integration, was baptized at Old Storm Branch in 1943, and became its pastor in 1980, following a 21-year stretch as pastor in Augusta, at Greater Mount Canaan Baptist Church.
His career in education began in 1956, at Jefferson School (the facility now known as Jefferson Elementary), where Herman Fennell was principal. Irvin went on to serve at Langley-Bath-Clearwater High, where Jerry Swing was principal.
Irvin expressed thanks for the influence of both men in his life.
"I was the chairman of the department of social studies in 1956, assistant high-school principal, counselor, student-council adviser and area adult-education adviser," he said.
"I taught at a segregated school. I taught at an integrated school, and ... we integrated in 1971. At LBC, for nine years of integration, not one time did we have a racial problem ... I taught sociology, psychology and was a guidance counselor there, and I taught adult education at night. I taught blacks at night to begin with. When we integrated, then we taught blacks and whites together at night, but not one time in nine years did we have a racial slur that I heard of at LBC."
"He's been busy all his life," said Gene Gardner, a retired truck driver 10 years younger than Irvin.
"You're not going to find a better person, I don't care where you go. Plus, he's well-educated, too. He's a good person, and we're going to miss him down here."
Irvin's longtime friends also include Frank Roberson, superintendent of public schools in Augusta-Richmond County. He chose the words "ageless" and "timeless" to describe Irvin.
Roberson added, "He's just extraordinary. ... He fits every single situation. Whatever the situation is, he can rise to a point to help you sort through it, and every person that I know knows this about him. You don't have to be a member of his church nor one of his former students. He's going to reach out to help you if he can."

Soulstice Theatre brings 'Blithe Spirit' to life
It's all jolly good to insist one shouldn't dwell in the past, but what's a chap to do when the past insists on dwelling with him?
That's the predicament confronting Charles Condomine in Noël Coward's "Blithe Spirit," a comic version of the contemporaneously published "Rebecca" that cuts like a diamond and is every bit as brilliant. It's now on stage in St. Francis, in a Soulstice Theatre production that opened Friday night under Char Manny's direction. »Read Full Article(1)

We read with interest the article by Pechère and colleagues1 on Mycobacterium genavense infection in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection. Based on a comparison of survival with CD4 cell count—matched controls, the authors concluded that M genavense infection lessens survival. Clearly, there are biological reasons to believe that this disease could lessen survival. However, we suggest caution in attributing causality to M genavense infection and its treatment in the interpretation of the statistical relationships of these observational data.
An alternative explanation for the association of M genavense infection with decreased survival is that the mycobacterial infection is a marker of more severe immunosuppression that is not accounted for by CD4 cell count alone. Although controls were matched on CD4 cell count, this measure may be an incomplete marker of degree of immunosuppression in Pechère and colleagues' study as it is in other settings.2,3 Data from the Multicenter

Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is a viral syndrome characterized by necrotizing retinitis and severe panuveitis due to the varicella zoster virus or the herpes simplex virus type 1 or type 2. Although peripheral occlusive vasculitis is frequently observed and considered one of the diagnostic features of ARN,1 central retinal vasculature occlusion has rarely been reported.2,3 We describe 3 patients who developed central retinal vascular occlusions associated with ARN. All patients were elderly, received systemic corticosteroids prior to their referral, and 2 patients had preexisting cardiovascular disease. The combination of central retinal vascular occlusion and panuveitis should prompt the physician to consider ARN as a diagnosis.
A 66-year-old man complained of 6 days of headaches and visual loss in the left eye (OS). He presented to an outside physician with a visual acuity of hand motions and optic disc edema OS. Because of possible giant cell arteritis, 1 g of intravenous solumedrol was given. Two days later, the patient was referred to our institution for continued decline in visual acuity.
Visual acuities were 20/25 OD and bare hand motions OS. A dense relative afferent pupillary defect OS and severely constricted visual fields were observed. Slitlamp examination showed trace cells OS. Dilated funduscopic examination showed 2+ vitreous haze and vitreous hemorrhage. There was a cherry-red spot with diffuse retinal hemorrhages and marked arteriolar attenuation with venous engorgement. The results of an ophthalmic examination of the right eye (OD) were unremarkable. Fluorescein angiography showed extremely delayed arterial perfusion OS and absent venous filling during the recirculation phase, consistent with a combined central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) and central retinal vein occlusion (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Fundus photographs of the left eye of a 66-year-old man (case 1) that show hazy media secondary to vitreous hemorrhage. There was diffuse retinal pallor and a cherry-red spot, as well as diffuse retinal hemorrhages within the major vascular arcades (A) and in the midretinal and far-retinal periphery (B). No focal retinal necrosis was discernible. Fluorescein angiographic images show poor arterial perfusion (C) and impaired arterial and venous filling at 5 minutes and 39 seconds (D). There was also diffuse leakage from the optic nerve with masking defects corresponding to retinal hemorrhage. Following a diagnostic pars plana vitrectomy, widespread retinal necrosis with central retinal whitening, as well as peripheral retinal necrosis and diffuse hemorrhages, are more apparent (E). Results of quantitative polymerase chain reaction showed more than 25 × 106 copies/mL of varicella zoster virus DNA.
The results of a rapid plasma reagin test, a microhemagglutination– Treponema pallidum test, an angiotensin-converting enzyme test, a purified protein derivative (tuberculin) test, protein C and protein S tests, an antithrombin III test, a chest radiograph, and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and orbits were normal. Two days later, the patient returned with bare light perception vision. Ophthalmic examination showed a fibrinous anterior chamber reaction (ie, 3+ vitreous cells/haze with worsening vitreous hemorrhage).
Pars plana vitrectomy was performed, and widespread retinal necrosis with hemorrhage was observed intraoperatively. Intravenous acyclovir sodium (10 mg/kg) and intravitreal foscarnet sodium (2.4 mg/0.1 cm3) were administered, and treatment with 2 g of valacyclovir hydrochloride 3 times a day was started. The results of vitreous polymerase chain reaction showed varicella zoster virus DNA with a copy number of 25 625 000 viral genome equivalents/mL. Following 3 weeks of treatment with 2 g of valacyclovir 3 times a day, the patient was given 1 g of valacyclovir 3 times a day for 4 weeks, which was subsequently reduced to twice a day. A retinal detachment developed, but additional surgery was deferred because of the poor prognosis.
A subsequent cardiac workup showed severe coronary artery disease with near-complete occlusion of the left anterior descending and left circumflex arteries. The patient subsequently underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty with stent and aggressive hypertension and hyperlipidemia treatment. At 9-month follow-up, visual acuities were 20/25 OD and no light perception OS.
A 64-year-old woman with phthisis bulbi OS of unknown etiology presented with blurred vision OD that she had for 1 month. Initial ophthalmic examination showed visual acuity of 20/200 OD, 2+ vitritis, and peripheral pigmented chorioretinal lesions with adjacent retinal whitening. Treatment with trimethoprim sulfate and sulphamethoxazole (Bactrim DS; Roche) twice daily and prednisone (60 mg/d) were started for presumptive toxoplasmosis. The vision loss progressed over the next month, prompting referral to our institution.
Visual acuity was hand motions OD. Slitlamp examination showed keratic precipitates, trace anterior chamber cells, and 2+ vitreous cells OD. Dilated funduscopic examination showed 3+ vitreous haze, optic nerve pallor, and retinal whitening associated with pigment scarring. The left globe was phthisical.
Using polymerase chain reaction, we found that the vitreous was positive for herpes simplex virus type 2. The results of serum toxoplasmosis IgM and IgG, a rapid plasma reagin test, a fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test, a purified protein derivative (tuberculin) test, and a chest radiograph were negative. Treatment with oral valacyclovir 3 times a day was initiated, and serial intravitreal foscarnet injections were administered every 3 days for a total of 4 injections. Visual acuity declined to light perception, secondary to worsening vitreous hemorrhage. Two areas of focal traction retinal detachment were identified by using B-scan ultrasonography, prompting a pars plana vitrectomy, membrane peel, endolaser, and silicone oil instillation. Optic nerve pallor, severely attenuated retinal arterioles, and peripheral neovascularization were observed intraoperatively.
The patient's vision improved to counting fingers at 3 ft postoperatively. The findings from a fluorescein angiography confirmed severe retinal ischemia (Figure 2). She was stable at 9-month follow-up.
Figure 2. A, Fundus photograph of the right eye of a 64-year-old woman (case 2) that shows 2+ vitreous haze, optic nerve pallor, and an ellipse-shaped area of retinal whitening superotemporal to the optic nerve (white arrow). Result of polymerase chain reaction was positive for herpes simplex virus type 2 DNA. Following pars plana vitrectomy, membrane peel, endolaser, and silicone oil instillation for a vitreous hemorrhage and tractional retinal detachment, a fundus photograph showed extremely sclerotic retinal arterioles and optic nerve pallor (B). Fluorescein angiographic images show a global delay in arterial perfusion with arterial filling at 21 seconds (C) and delayed venous filling, which was consistent with a central retinal artery occlusion (D).
An 87-year-old man with coronary artery disease after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty developed blurred vision and eye redness OD, prompting treatment with topical corticosteroids for iritis. Two weeks later, he developed severe visual loss to hand motions OD. Ophthalmic examination showed a quiet anterior chamber, trace vitreous cells, and a CRAO. A therapeutic anterior chamber paracentesis was performed because of concern for a thromboembolic CRAO, and oral prednisone (60 mg/d) was prescribed, resulting in minimal improvement in visual acuity.
Three weeks later, the patient was referred for an evaluation. Visual acuity was counting fingers at 3 ft OD and 20/25 OS. Slitlamp examination showed granulomatous keratic precipitates, 1+ anterior chamber cell/flare, and 1+ vitreous cell. Dilated funduscopic examination showed optic nerve pallor and severe retinal arteriolar attenuation. Inferotemporally, there was approximately 2 to 3 clock hours of retinal necrosis. The findings from a fluorescein angiography confirmed poor arterial perfusion consistent with a CRAO (Figure 3).
Figure 3. Fundus photographs of the right eye of an 87-year-old man (case 3) that show 1+ vitreous haze, optic nerve pallor, punctate intraretinal hemorrhage, and extremely sclerotic-appearing retinal arterioles (A) with areas of vascular dropout (B). In the peripheral retina anterior to the equator, there was a 2 to 3 clock-hour zone of retinitis with villiform projections (C), all of which resolved following antiviral therapy. Fluorescein angiographic images show absent perfusion at 37 seconds (D), poor arterial blood flow at 2 minutes and 30 seconds (E), and poor venous filling in the late recirculation phase (F).
Polymerase chain reaction testing of aqueous fluid was positive for varicella zoster virus DNA. Treatment with oral valacyclovir was initiated at 1 g twice a day secondary to kidney dysfunction, and intravitreal foscarnet injections were administered every 3 days for a total of 6 injections. The patient is still being treated with valacyclovir (1 g daily) for ARN prophylaxis. Results of ultrasonography of the patient's carotid showed some plaque but no frank stenosis. At 6-month follow-up, the patient's symptoms were unchanged.
Central retinal vascular occlusion in association with ARN is extremely rare, with only 2 reported cases in the literature.2,3 In one patient, central retinal venous occlusion progressed to a combination CRAO and central retinal vein occlusion and no light perception vision prior to the diagnosis of varicella zoster virus–related ARN.2 In another patient, CRAO with cilioretinal sparing and peripheral necrotizing retinitis were observed.3 The 3 patients described herein further emphasize the relevance of this disease association in both varicella zoster virus–related ARN and herpes simplex virus–related ARN (Table). Although other infectious (eg, Bartonella, tuberculosis, and syphilis) and noninfectious entities (eg, Behçet syndrome, sarcoidosis, and Wegener granulomatosis) may also be present with retinal vaso-occlusive sequelae and uveitis, the clinical features and laboratory findings of each patient excluded these possibilities. Interestingly, 2 of the 3 patients also had comorbid coronary artery disease, and all 3 patients were elderly, which suggests that prior vasculopathy may predispose patients to a central retinovascular event in the setting of ARN. All 3 patients were also treated with systemic corticosteroids prior to presentation to our institutions; for 2 of these patients, the administration of corticosteroids before antiviral therapy was associated with a decline in visual acuity.
The precise mechanism of occlusive vasculopathy in ARN is unknown. The histology of ocular specimens has demonstrated chronic granulomatous inflammation,4 and electron microscopy has shown herpesvirus in multiple retinal layers with retinal arteritis.5 The recent description of Kyrieleis' vasculitis in ARN suggests an immune-mediated phenomena.6 Hayreh7 described widespread pathologic vasculitis involving the iris, choroid, retina, and optic nerve and suggested that "acute ocular panvasculitis syndrome" may be preferred to "acute retinal necrosis." Increased awareness that ARN-related vasculitis may affect multiple ocular vascular structures including central retinal vessels is helpful clinically. Specifically, recognition of the association of central retinal vascular occlusion with panuveitis should prompt consideration of a workup for herpetic retinitis given the potential for severe visual loss in these challenging cases.

However, against Kansas State Smith has been a non-factor.
Last season in
When K-State travels to
K-State sophomore defensive back Maurice Mack said the key to slowing Smith down is getting in his face.
"We have seen film from this year and we watched film from last year," he said. "We were able to contain him and get him in zone situations and he had trouble with pressure in his face and he was always trying to move around. He's just like every other quarterback. If you get pressure on him, he will have trouble trying to throw the ball while he's trying to scramble. I think if we just keep putting pressure on the quarterback, we'll be fine."
Wildcat head coach Bill Snyder said he thinks some of K-State's success against Smith can be attributed to the fact that K-State sees a similar offense in practice everyday.
"We've played well," he said. "I think good preparation (is the reason for success) as much as anything. It's been suggested, and I tend to agree with that, that because our offense can be similar to what they can do and what they have done with Brad, and therefore, on a regular basis, in particular during the spring and two-a-days period and a little while at each practice throughout the year, we have the opportunity to experience the same kind of things defensively. I think it helps."
However, comparing defenses of year's past might be the same as comparing it this season's defense.
K-State has struggled off and on this season on defense, but at times shown the same aggressiveness that has kept Smith under its thumb.
However, senior defensive tackle Jermaine Berry that once things go fine in practice, it hasn't always carried over into the games.
"For some people it's a reoccurring thing," he said. "For some people, it's just that some things go wrong every time. Personally, I think it's just one little thing that keeps happening that we just can't put our finger on it. We work on stuff during practice and it goes perfect during practice and we don't have a problem with what we are doing. But execution-wise, once we get into the games, it's just one of those things where if one person out of eleven gets in the wrong spot, stuff happens."
