'The Vampire Diaries' Recap: 4x14: 'Down The Rabbit Hole'
One of the most interesting parts to come out of the storyline involving the cure is determining who wants it and who doesn't. Of course, all of that goes out the window once we learn there's only one dose and Katherine makes off with it. But we'll get to that…
The episode starts off with Damon tied up to a tree by one of the members of The Five, named Galen Vaughn, who has a tattoo that completed when Jeremy's did.
With Damon missing in action, Elena calls home to fill Caroline in on everything that's going on and to ask her to get the hunter's sword from Klaus so they can translate Jeremy's tattoos.
In the cave, one of Silas' men, who appears to be a native of the island, wants to leave. Shane pays him with the tombstone, which is made up of the witch Ketzsia's blood. According to Shane, it's more valuable than the Hope Diamond. Turns out the tombstone had nothing to do with the spell—yet another classic, well played misdirection by the show's producers, just like the Sun and the Moon curse.
Tyler arrives at the Gilbert house—he easily found the sword amongst Klaus' things. After some snarking, Klaus eventually does help Tyler and Caroline transcribe the tattoos using the sword.
Back on the island, Stefan and Elena have a heart to heart, where Elena expresses disappointment that Stefan didn't tell her that he wanted to be human. He admits that maybe they can be friends and when Elena touches his hand, Rebekah looks on with jealously.
Galen tells Damon that he wants to kill Silas so that the mission of The Five can be over. He also plans to use the cure against Silas – to kill him – and more importantly, there is only one dose. Rebekah is the next to learn about the single dose problem as Klaus gets on the phone with her and tells her there's only one dose of the cure – he learned this during the translation – before Tyler and Caroline can hang up the phone on them.
Jeremy and Bonnie are lowered into the well to where Silas lays. Bonnie promises that she won't let Silas get out and she's kill Shane if she has to.
Damon accuses Galen of saving Jeremy's life in the last episode, but Galen denies it. They then stumble upon a body of one of the natives that was working for Shane and realize someone else is on the island.
When Rebekah meets up with Elena and Stefan, she fails to inform them of what Klaus told her. Elena jumps down a large cliff by herself, leaving Rebekah and Stefan alone. Rebekah tells Stefan that there's only one dose of the cure. Rebekah hints that she'd give the cure to Stefan, but she knows he'll just give it to Elena. So she snaps Stefan's neck to knock him out—which Elena witnesses.
In the well, Bonnie starts to activate Jeremy's tattoo. As she does, it starts to activate on Galen as well. The walls shake in the well and start to fall. After the cave in, both Jeremy and Bonnie are ok, but Shane's leg is broken—they chose to leave him behind and venture farther in. Galen and Damon arrive at the top. Rebekah enters after Damon is free of his restraints, but Galen has a gun out.
Stefan is up and awake and he tells Elena that there is only one dose of the cure. Elena is self-defeating, knowing that she is not the same person she was when she went off that bridge. But the pity party is over quickly when they realize that Klaus will break free of the spell and come for them, meaning he needs to be the one that gets the cure.
Galen gets the better of Rebekah and puts a grenade in her chest that explodes wooden stakes into her. (Clearly, he's got way cooler toys than Alaric ever did.) It's not enough to kill her of course, but it slows her down. He also stops Damon and puts him back in restraints.
Back in the well, Bonnie is visited by the ghost of her Grams, who says Bonnie can bring her back to life with Silas. Jeremy can't see Grams, so he tells Bonnie that it's not really her ghost, because he would be able to see her if it was. Instead, it is Silas, trying to control her.
Back at the Gilbert house, Caroline tells Klaus that he can't kill Tyler. Klaus challenges Caroline on whether or not she would want the cure. When Klaus says they're similar, Caroline tells him to show Tyler the mercy she would show. Klaus says fine, but Tyler must leave town immediately. Except it will only be a head start before he tries to kill him.
Tyler and Caroline later have a tearful goodbye but Tyler is confident they'll find a way back to each other again. Caroline makes Tyler promise her that he'll live a happy life without her. (Side-note: many of the recappers have indicated that this indeed Tyler's last episode for awhile. So that goodbye was for real. At least until Klaus leaves for his spin-off.)
Damon is too injured to travel down the well, so he tells Stefan to go down and help Elena get the cure. He does and stumbles across the injured Shane, who pleads ignorance about knowing there was only one dose of the cure. Stefan also elects to leave him behind. But Shane's wife Kaitlin makes an appearance—likely as a hallucination from Silas—who tells him that everything will be fine.
Bonnie and Jeremy approach Silas' body. It's then that Jeremy and Bonnie also realize that the cure won't work on that many people. Jeremy tries to take it out of Silas' hands, but it's fossilized with him. They realize that the only way they can get the cure out of his hands is to wake him up.
Galen appears and stabs Bonnie. He then cuts his hand and starts pouring blood on Silas so he can wake him up. Jeremy starts to fight him, but Galen gets the upper hand and is about to kill Jeremy when Elena arrives. She's about to kill Galen when Jeremy reminds her of the hunter's curse—if she kills him, she'll suffer mass hysteria until another hunter is unveiled.
Klaus is able to leave the house – likely since Bonnie is hurt – and tells Caroline that he showed Tyler's mercy because of her.
Stefan then stumbles upon Elena—meaning the other Elena was actually Katherine. Jeremy wants to help Bonnie, but Katherine insists on getting the cure. She cuts Jeremy and feeds his blood to Silas. While Silas is feeding on Jeremy, Katherine takes the cure. Silas then kills Jeremy while Bonnie is powerless to do anything.
"Down the Rabbit Hole" was easily one of the best episodes of the season. It's been a wonky season so far with highs and lows, but the pay-off with who gets the cure and who dies on the journey seems well worth it. Unless of course Jeremy will be OK since he's seen wearing his ring that brings him back from death…

Do you greet each autumn morning with a sneeze, a sniffle and some watery eyes? Part of it might be the city you live in.
Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford are three of the 100 worst places in the country for fall allergies, according to a new report from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
The 2013 Fall Allergy Capitals report ranks the most challenging places in the country to live with fall allergies, based on cities' pollen levels, use of over-the-counter and prescription allergy medications and number of board certified-allergists. Hartford ranked as the nation's 53rd sneeziest city, New Haven was 62nd and Bridgeport was 66th.
The worst city in the country for the allergy-prone? Wichita, Kan., due to high pollen counts and a large use of allergy medications by seasonal sneezers.
Though fall hasn't officially started yet, experts are already predicting an awful allergy season, with ragweed expected to be particularly robust and fall storms and tornadoes are expected to disperse allergens and outdoor mold. Allergic reasons to pollen and outdoor mold are often confused with a cold or the flu particularly in the fall this misdiagnosis can prevent patients from getting the correct treatment and lead to other medical problems. About 40 million Americans suffer from seasonal allergies.

Roger Fletcher of Diamond Comics Distribution gets in touch regarding the note that Diamond UK sent to retailers this morning saying that a Tuesday shipping date and a Wednesday on-sale day had not been decided for the UK.
This would have replaced the current Wednesday/Thursday shipping and Thursday on-sale dates that British shops currently work under, a day beind America.
And the note was in contradiction of Diamond USA's press release that UK stores would get a Tuesday shipping schedule, bringing them into alignment with US shipping schedules.
Fletcher tells Bleeding Cool;
Our UK staff was getting questions from customers regarding the specifics. We told them we'd have details on the specifics drafted soon. Somehow this got translated as it wasn't definite yet, and this was miscommunicated to retailers. We are moving forward with plans to sync the UK & U.S. release dates and give UK customers the option of day-early delivery.
Everybody cheer! And everybody toast Bob Wayne at DC Comics. I understand the change wouldn't have happened without him.

1. Asc. And these deserve [still] greater punishments, Thrice-greatest one?
Tris. [Assuredly;] for those condemned by laws of man do lose their life by violence, so that [all] men may see they have not yielded up their soul to pay the debt of nature, but have received the penalty of their deserts.
Upon the other hand, the righteous man finds his defence in serving God and deepest piety. For God doth guard such men from every ill.
2. Yea, He who is the Sire of all, [our] Lord, and who alone is all, doth love to show Himself to all.
It is not by the place where he may be, nor by the quality which he may have, nor by the greatness which he may possess, but by the minds intelligence alone, that He doth shed His light on man,—[on him] who shakes the clouds of Error from his soul, and sights the brilliancy of Truth, mingling himself with the All-sense of the Divine Intelligence; through love of which he wins his freedom from that part of him oer which Death rules, and has the seed of the assurance of his future Deathlessness implanted in him.
3. This, then, is how the good will differ from the bad. Each several one will shine in piety, in sanctity, in prudence, in worship, and in service of [our] God, and see True Reason, as though [he looked at it] with [corporal] eyes; and each will by the confidence of his belief excel all other men, as by its light the Sun the other stars.
For that it is not so much by the greatness of his light as by his holiness and his divinity, the Sun himself lights up the other stars.
Yea, [my] Asclepius, thou shouldst regard him as the second God, ruling all things, and giving light to all things living in the Cosmos, whether ensouled or unensouled.
For if the Cosmos is a living thing, and if it has been, and it is, and will be ever-living,—naught in the Cosmos is subject to death.
For of an ever-living thing, it is [the same] of every part which is; [that is,] that tis [as ever-living] as it is [itself]; and in the World itself [which is] for everyone, and at the self-same time an ever-living thing of life,—in it there is no place for death.
5. And so he should be the full store of life and deathlessness; if that it needs must be that he should live for ever.
And so the Sun, just as the Cosmos, lasts for aye. So is he, too, for ever ruler of [all] vital powers, or of [our] whole vitality; he is their ruler, or the one who gives them out.
God, then, is the eternal ruler of all living things, or vital functions, that are in the World. He is the everlasting giver-forth of Life itself.
Once for all [time] He hath bestowed Life on all vital powers; He further doth preserve them by a law that lasts for evermore, as I will [now] explain.

Visit the Mercola Video Library
Story at-a-glance
- During a root canal, there is no way to sterilize your tooth; after the root canal, dangerous bacteria hide out in the tooth and are unreachable with antibiotics
- Root-canaled and filled teeth harbor bacteria that morph into very toxic forms, which then can migrate to other tissues in your body and cause serious medical conditions, including diseases of your heart, kidneys, bones, and brain
- There is no other medical practice that permits leaving a dead body part inside your body, because it triggers your immune system to attack
- If you have a diseased tooth, or if you've already had a root canal, I highly recommend consulting a biological dentist about have it extracted
Do you have a chronic degenerative disease? If so, have you been told, "It's all in your head?"
Well, that might not be that far from the truth… the root cause of your illness may be in your mouth.
There is a common dental procedure that nearly every dentist will tell you is completely safe, despite the fact that scientists have been warning of its dangers for more than 100 years.
Every day in the United States alone, 41,000 of these dental procedures are performed on patients who believe they are safely and permanently fixing their problem.
What is this dental procedure?
The root canal.
More than 25 million root canals are performed every year in this country.
Root-canaled teeth are essentially "dead" teeth that can become silent incubators for highly toxic anaerobic bacteria that can, under certain conditions, make their way into your bloodstream to cause a number of serious medical conditions—many not appearing until decades later.
Most of these toxic teeth feel and look fine for many years, which make their role in systemic disease even harder to trace back.
Sadly, the vast majority of dentists are oblivious to the serious potential health risks they are exposing their patients to, risks that persist for the rest of their patients' lives.The American Dental Association claims root canals have been proven safe, but they have NO published data or actual research to substantiate this claim.
Fortunately, I had some early mentors like Dr. Tom Stone and Dr. Douglas Cook, who educated me on this issue nearly 20 years ago. Were it not for a brilliant pioneering dentist who, more than a century ago, made the connection between root-canaled teeth and disease, this underlying cause of disease may have remained hidden to this day. The dentist's name was Weston Price—regarded by many as the greatest dentist of all time.
Weston A. Price: World's Greatest Dentist
Most dentists would be doing an enormous service to public health if they familiarized themselves with the work of Dr. Weston Pricei. Unfortunately, his work continues to be discounted and suppressed by medical and dental professionals alike.
Dr. Price was a dentist and researcher who traveled the world to study the teeth, bones, and diets of native populations living without the "benefit" of modern food. Around the year 1900, Price had been treating persistent root canal infections and became suspicious that root-canaled teeth always remained infected, in spite of treatments. Then one day, he recommended to a woman, wheelchair bound for six years, to have her root canal tooth extracted, even though it appeared to be fine.
She agreed, so he extracted her tooth and then implanted it under the skin of a rabbit. The rabbit amazingly developed the same crippling arthritis as the woman and died from the infection 10 days later. But the woman, now free of the toxic tooth, immediately recovered from her arthritis and could now walk without even the assistance of a cane.
Price discovered that it's mechanically impossible to sterilize a root-canaled (e.g. root-filled) tooth.
He then went on to show that many chronic degenerative diseases originate from root-filled teeth—the most frequent being heart and circulatory diseases. He actually found 16 different causative bacterial agents for these conditions. But there were also strong correlations between root-filled teeth and diseases of the joints, brain and nervous system. Dr. Price went on to write two groundbreaking books in 1922 detailing his research into the link between dental pathology and chronic illness. Unfortunately, his work was deliberately buried for 70 years, until finally one endodontist named George Meinig recognized the importance of Price's work and sought to expose the truth.
Dr. Meinig Advances the Work of Dr. Price
Dr. Meinig, a native of Chicago, was a captain in the U.S. Army during World War II before moving to Hollywood to become a dentist for the stars. He eventually became one of the founding members of the American Association of Endodontists (root canal specialists).
In the 1990s, he spent 18 months immersed in Dr. Price's research. In June of 1993, Dr. Meinig published the book Root Canal Cover-Up, which continues to be the most comprehensive reference on this topic today. You can order your copy directly from the Price-Pottenger Foundationii.
What Dentists Don't Know About the Anatomy of Your Teeth
Your teeth are made of the hardest substances in your body.
In the middle of each tooth is the pulp chamber, a soft living inner structure that houses blood vessels and nerves. Surrounding the pulp chamber is the dentin, which is made of living cells that secrete a hard mineral substance. The outermost and hardest layer of your tooth is the white enamel, which encases the dentin.
The roots of each tooth descend into your jawbone and are held in place by the periodontal ligament. In dental school, dentists are taught that each tooth has one to four major canals. However, there are accessory canals that are never mentioned. Literally miles of them!
Just as your body has large blood vessels that branch down into very small capillaries, each of your teeth has a maze of very tiny tubules that, if stretched out, would extend for three miles. Weston Price identified as many as 75 separate accessory canals in a single central incisor (front tooth). For a more detailed explanation, refer to an article by Hal Huggins, DDS, MS, on the Weston A. Price Foundation website.iii(These images are borrowed from the Huggins article.)
Microscopic organisms regularly move in and around these tubules, like gophers in underground tunnels.
When a dentist performs a root canal, he or she hollows out the tooth, then fills the hollow chamber with a substance (called guttapercha), which cuts off the tooth from its blood supply, so fluid can no longer circulate through the tooth. But the maze of tiny tubules remains. And bacteria, cut off from their food supply, hide out in these tunnels where they are remarkably safe from antibiotics and your own body's immune defenses.

Microsoft Corp. has set the date for the official launch of Windows Phone 8 operating system that is expected to bring the software giant back into the smartphone game. Apparently, Windows Phone 8 will be released just three days after Windows 8 for PCs, on October 29, 2012.
Microsoft has sent out invitations to various media outlets, calling them to attend "Meet Windows Phone 8" event in San Francisco on October 29, 2012. The image published on a variety of web-sites clearly points to official launch press conference concerning the Windows Phone 8 operating system. What is uncertain is whether Microsoft intends to start selling Windows Phone 8-based smartphones in late October, or the new platform will materialize commercially only in November.
It is interesting to note that the smartphone depicted on the invitation flyer carries the same logotype as full-featured Windows 8 and has support for 4G/LTE. Potentially, this means that all Windows Phone 8-powered handsets will support 4G/LTE, which points to premium features, yet means high prices.
Windows Phone 8 and the operating system for PCs will share common networking, security, media and Internet Explorer 10 web browser technology, and a common file system, which will translate in a PC user experience on a mobile phone. In addition, Windows Phone 8 will support multi-core microprocessors to boost performance and improve multitasking; higher resolution screens - 1280x768 and 1280x720; removable MicroSD cards; UEFI boot protocol to enhance security; support for encryption of the whole device; remote management; NFC wireless sharing for photos, Office docs, and contacts; Wallet application to keep debit and credit cards, coupons, boarding passes and other important info; improved maps and other useful features.
Windows Phone 8 has full C and C++ support, making it easier to write apps for multiple platforms more quickly. It also means Windows Phone 8 supports popular gaming middleware such as Havok Vision Engine, Autodesk Scaleform, Audiokinetic Wwise, and Firelight FMOD, as well as native DirectX-based game development. Since WP7-generation phones do not support C/C++, they will not run apps designed specifically for WP8 and better devices.
Windows Phone 8 will support a total of 50 languages; Windows Phone Marketplace, the store for apps and games, will support app downloads in over 180 countries.

Prince Albert Carlton MLA Darryl Hickie is seen during ThursdayŌĆÖs grand opening celebration for Carlton Comprehensive Public High SchoolŌĆÖs new gymnasium, which saw about $8 million in provincial money go toward its $12.2 million budget.
Prince AlbertŌĆÖs ŌĆ£done wellŌĆØ in receiving provincial funding for infrastructure in recent years, Prince Albert Carlton MLA Darryl Hickie concluded on Friday.
Contacted by phone a day after an exciting grand opening celebration for Carlton Comprehensive Public High SchoolŌĆÖs new gymnasium, Hickie was still audibly enthused for the project and event.
ŌĆ£We have a new facility that will be able to attract provincial-level tournaments, which will, of course, bring economic development and increase the economy of the city through hotel rooms and goods and services being bought here in the city,ŌĆØ he said.
Getting $8 million to partially fund the gymnasium took years to squeeze out of the provincial government, Saskatchewan Rivers School Board chairperson Barry Hollick noted during ThursdayŌĆÖs grand opening ceremony.
During this time, he credits local area MLAs with convincing provincial ministers to prioritize the local project over others within what government officials have referred to as being a balanced budget approach.
This begs the question; WhatŌĆÖs the next big project local area MLAs are advocating for?
ŌĆ£There arenŌĆÖt any big projects in the works right now,ŌĆØ Hickie said. ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs nothing right now currently that IŌĆÖm aware of that weŌĆÖll be looking at funding.ŌĆØ
That said, Hickie noted that there are several existing financial commitments the government is in the midst of making, including contributions to the Pineview Terrace Lodge and the cityŌĆÖs water treatment plant, as well as the annual revenue sharing dollars given to municipal governments.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve done well in Prince Albert by having those projects funded,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£I mean, weŌĆÖre seeing the jail expansion being funded as well, right now ŌĆ" and we canŌĆÖt forget that we had funding for the (Diefenbaker) bridge repairs a couple years ago, so weŌĆÖve done well in Prince Albert.ŌĆØ
The twinning of Highway 11 to Prince Albert is another recent milestone of significance, Hickie added.
When it comes to school board-level infrastructure projects in the Prince Albert area, Hickie noted that none of the local area school boards have any significant requests before the provincial government at the moment.
ThereŌĆÖs nothing right now currently that IŌĆÖm aware of that weŌĆÖll be looking at funding. Darryl Hickie
An indirect ongoing contribution has been the governmentŌĆÖs role in getting the Prince Albert Pulp Mill up and running -- albeit only partially -- by allowing them to sell energy to the provincial grid.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre always open for those opportunities,ŌĆØ Hickie explained.
On the topic of opportunities, Hickie referenced a handful of school builds in the province that are being funded through public-private partnerships (P3 agreements).
ŌĆ£Those are the things weŌĆÖre always looking at -- new innovative ways to meet the demands and needs across Saskatchewan, as we see parts of our province growing,ŌĆØ he said.
ŌĆ£The province has done pretty well as a whole, considering we still have a very good outlook for the province, economically, and a balanced budget, unlike quite a few places in the world right now.ŌĆØ
When it comes to funding infrastructure projects in the Prince Albert area, Hickie said that the provincial government is ŌĆ£always willing to discuss what stakeholders need,ŌĆØ and that the Carlton gymnasium ŌĆ£isnŌĆÖt just a one time deal.ŌĆØ
HickieŌĆÖs No. 1 takeaway from ThursdayŌĆÖs grand opening celebration wasnŌĆÖt the gymnasium opening itself, but the personal impact that Grade 12 student Adam Pickering said the gymnasium has made on his life.
Pickering is currently strengthening his muscles so that heŌĆÖll be able to walk again ŌĆō a process heŌĆÖs made great strides in since receiving back surgery in 2010.
On Thursday, he walked across the gymnasium to a podium where he spoke.
ŌĆ£That was a very proud moment for me, as an MLA and a father -- a parent -- to give this opportunity to this young man to have an opportunity to ŌĆ" to better his physical well-being,ŌĆØ Hickie said.
ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs why we serve in public office -- to make an opportunity like that available to a young man like him, and others like him.ŌĆØ

Kevin Durant made headlines after interacting with a fan on Twitter and agreeing to play in his flag football game at Oklahoma State University.
After expressing how bored the extended lockout had left him, Durant responded with a simple "can I play?" tweet when a fan told him that he needed a deep threat for his game in Stillwater on Monday night.
When it was all said and done, Durant had said he had a ton of fun with his new group of teammates, and even logged four touchdown passes as well as three interceptions on defense.
Using seven-on-seven squads, let's take a look at how Team Durant would fare against Team LeBron.
Note: Rosters have been constructed using recent players involved in exhibition games with both Durant and James.

|The Peace Corps' highest priority is maintaining the good health and safety of every Volunteer and trainee. Medical programs emphasize the preventive, rather than the curative approach to disease.
Serving as a Volunteer overseas entails certain safety and security risks. Living and traveling in an unfamiliar environment, a limited understanding of the local language and culture, and the perception of being a wealthy American are some of the factors that can put a Volunteer at risk.

In 1994, the Far Northwest Side was growing so fast that the infrastructure couldn't keep up. Land in the Sawmill corridor was being developed as quickly as permits were granted, and the parking lots grew in all directions.
One special place was left alone. A deal was made to give 17 acres of natural wetland area to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. I was a member of the Far Northwest Coalition, which helped draw up the plan to keep the wetlands undeveloped "in perpetuity." We understood that to mean that no one, not even a developer with deep pockets or land to swap, could build on or develop this protected land.
ODNR certainly has protected the area up until now. They put up a fence and put a lock on the gate.
The hawks continue to nest there, the creatures of the wetland and the wild space are there, but people were kept out. So some of the neighbors have never been in there. They see the plastic bags and trash that blow to the fence from all the commercial businesses in the area, but they don't know that the fence keeps most of the trash out of the wetlands.
"In perpetuity" was an important part of the agreement with ODNR. In perpetuity means that politics plays no part of this deal. It means that it stays the way it was written 19 years ago — for our community and the critters in there.

Look, gang, it's a slow news day, plus it's Valentine's Day, so please, give us a break on this little bit of ridiculousness. News broke today that the Millennium Falcon, the ship in the original trilogy that belonged to smuggler Han Solo and made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, might be making an appearance in Star Wars: Episode VII. Gasp! Boom! Bang! We better write about that!
How did this life-changing information leak? On the LucasFilm website, a new image was published, featuring the Star Wars: Episode VII production team spitballing the look of the new film. And if you look closely in the background, you can see a production drawing of the Millennium Falcon.
So, what does that mean? Well, absolutely next to nothing, really. So maybe the Millennium Falcon will appear in the film… which wouldn't be surprising in the slightest. Or, it's simply some Star Wars art placed on the wall of the production offices of a Star Wars movie, and the Millennium Falcon won't appear at all. All that really matters is, hey, we made a news post out of it. Happy Valentine's Day, kids.
What do you think of the Star Wars quasi-news?

Several Calculus books explain Implicit Differentiation by assuming that z is implicitly defined as a function of x and y in F(x,y,z)= 0 equation. Then they derive the formula: dz/dx = -Fx/Fz (note that dx/dz here is a partial derivative). I assumed that the inverse must also be true: dx/dz = -Fz/Fx but this doesn't seem to be true. I don't understand what I am missing
Thanks for replying!
Here is why I think I am missing something:
I was trying to solve the following problem: find the first partial derivatives of U and V with respect to X and Y and the first partial derivatives of X and Y with respect to U and V, given 2U - V + X^2 + X*Y = 0, U + 2V + X*Y - Y^2 = 0.
To find dU/dX I substituted the V in the second equation from the first equation: V=2U + X^2 + XY => I get eventually: 5U + 2X^2 + 3X*Y - Y^2 = 0. Now, I find Fx = 4X + 3Y, and Fu = 5, thus: dU/dX = -(4X + 3Y)/5, which is the correct answer. Now, if the inverse was true, I should have dX/dU = - 5/(4X + 3Y) but the correct answer seems to be: (4Y - X)/2(X^2 - 2XY -Y^2), and this is why I think I am missing something.
Thanks again!
Yes, I meant partial derivatives in this case, just didn't bother to try to use the proper symbols. I thought that this should be a pretty straightforward problem, and I am a bit frustrated to be stuck on it:-)
I guess I will need to spend a little more time thinking about this, and, once I solve it, I will make sure to post the answer.
Thanks for trying to help me with the problem!
I finally solved the problem , and here is the solution:
First, if we need to find the first partial derivatives of x and y with respect to u and v, given 2u - v + x^2 + x*y = 0, u + 2v + x*y - y^2 =0 it is important to be clear that in this case u and v are independent variables and x and y are the dependent ones. This seems obvious, of course, but when I was actually trying to solve the problem, I wasn't correctly considering it. So:
1. Differentiate the first equation with respect to u: 2 + 2x*∂x/∂u +y*∂x/∂u +x*∂y/∂u = 0 2. Differentiate the second equation with respect to u: 1 + y*∂x/∂u +x*∂x/∂u- 2y*∂y/∂u = 0; from here get ∂y/∂u = (1 + y*∂x/∂u)/(2y-x), replace ∂y/∂u in the first equation: 2 + 2x*∂x/∂u +y*∂x/∂u +x*(1 + y*∂x/∂u)/(2y-x) = 0; From here it is easy to see that, indeed, ∂x/∂u = (4y-x)/2(x^2 - 2xy - y^2). It turned out to be not such a hard problem (it always seems to be easy once it is solved )
Yes, as you can tell, I was confused too. The thing is that in this case, it is a different condition and, therefore, the formula doesn't apply: here we have two dependent variables (x and y) not one as in the F(x,y,z)= 0 equation. So, what we have in this case is F(x, y, u, v)= 0 and G(x, y, u, v) = 0. This can be solved either the way I described above, or by using Jacobian method. The reason I was able to solve the du/dx as -Fx/Fu is because when you substitute v in the second equation from the first one, you now have an F(x, y, u) = 0 equation and you can apply the -Fx/Fu formula. When you try to find the inverse, this is no longer the case unless you substitute y in one of the equations for x but the result will not be the inverse because we have a different condition: two equations with two dependent variables.
I hope this clarifies the issue.

What is in this article?:
- Sell Soybeans Now, or Wait Until Spring?
- Parallel to 2012-2013?
More About:
With good weather in South America, Brazil will surpass the U.S. in soybean production during the coming growing season. Since weather has been a major issue for both South and North America during the past year, that qualifier has significance. It will take normal weather in Brazil for the expected production to be reached, which would be nearly 22% above the crop in early 2012. But additional acreage from newly developed land will help with the task. How will that impact U.S. soybean prices and how should that be worked into your marketing plan?
Reports from South America indicate planting progress has been slowed because of dry conditions in central and southern Brazil, as well as too much precipitation in Argentina. And continued rain there will undoubtedly shift some corn acres to soybeans. So how will more Argentine beans and possibly more Brazilian soybeans affect the U.S. soybean market? Iowa State University Economist Steven Johnson contends there are some immediate marketing opportunities and producers should take action to protect their opportunity for higher prices in coming months.
With soybean futures $3 lower than the August highs, many farmers may be reluctant to sell, but looking at soybean futures in deferred contract months, they are lower than nearby contracts. The soybean market has an inverse to it, not a carry, which pays for storage. Johnson says the market wants soybeans now, and is not willing to pay for future delivery, and the last time that happened was in the 2003-2004 marketing year. In that growing season, Johnson says the soybean crop was also short, like 2012, due to weather related problems.
Looking at the charts from that year, Johnson says November futures traded around $8/bu. after a move higher from the $5 range. But at that time, the May futures traded at 50¢ under the November contract. Both then and now, he says the market wants soybeans. Johnson says the lesson learned from 2003-2004 was that prices would rise when the supply was used up, and when May of 2004 arrived, the bean market made a double-top in the $10 range. That was not expected, due to the inverse carry in the market just a few months earlier.

This thread is a bit of a spin-off from this one
I'll put a link there to this also.
I have now looked at Palmer Robertson's careful treatment of Romans 11, and he hasn't persuaded me that - as well as speaking about an ongoing small part of the Jews believing until the end of time - that paul isn't also speaking about a future reingrafting of the Jews as a nation.
I'll explain why later, on this thread..........
For a start,
I would largely agree with him that Romans 11 has present concerns and that some of it is about the fact that there is an ongoing (small) proportion of Jews that believe. This in itself would encourage Jewish evangelism by the Roman church.
vv. 1-11 I can largely agree with Robertson, though because of verse 12, I believe v.11 may have a future reference.
v.12 There is a weakness in Robertson's interpretation here:-
Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
Robertson believes that the fulness of the Jews is the full number of the Jews who will be saved incrementally to the end of time. But - although Jewish believers have contributed to the life of the church and the work of the Gospel - there is no sense in which this addition of Jewish believers has anything like exceeded or been commensurate with the riches that have been bestowed on the world by the fact that the Jews rejected Christ.
Also, Robertson believes that when the fulness of the Jews - and Gentiles - come in, Christ will return and the world will end. Yet there is no explicit mention of the Parousia in this chapter, and when the Parousia happens, there will be such a great change to the order of things, that the blessings of a Jewish "fulness" in that context would be moot. It would not be the Jewish fulness that would be the riches of the Gentile (and Jewish) believers, but the return of Christ which Paul doesn't mention.
More later...............

By D.L. Chandler
In a battle between two global icons in their own respective realms, rapper/producer Kayne West and NBA superstar Kobe Bryant square off in a new short film from Kobe's shoe sponsor Nike titled The Black Mamba and the two are joined in the flick by stone-faced actors Bruce Willis and Danny Trejo in the Robert Rodriquez-directed short. Nike leaked two 30-second trailers of the film to the Internet, which shows Kanye playing the role of villain attempting to secure Kobe's coveted sneakers for himself with the help of some goons.
The pairing of Kobe and Kanye isn't the first between a music artist and athlete. In fact, it is in a long line of noteworthy cameos and collaborations over the years. Allen Iverson and Jadakiss linked for two commercials for Iverson's A5 and A6 shoe line from Reebok, and the ball player who toyed with a rap career under the name Jewelz even dropped a few bars alongside the LOX rapper on the A6 spot. Boston Celtic big man Kevin Garnett and another LOX member Styles P joined together for an And 1 commercial back in 2006. Houston rap favorite Scarface was paired with then-Houston Rockets star Steve Francis over a Kayne West produced track.
However, shoe ads aren't the only place high profile ballers have been paired alongside some of rap's royalty. Videos have long been a place to witness how closely connected some of the sports world and hip hop's elite are. Jay-Z's "D.O.A." (Death Of Auto-Tune) featured then-Cleveland Cavalier baller LeBron James in glowering fashion in a mock pickup game. Part-time rapper and full-time NBA enforcer Ron Artest showed love to his hometown of Queens by appearing in the QB's Finest video "The Bridge 2001" featuring some of his hometown housing project Queensbridge's most infamous figures such as Nas, Mobb Deep, Cormega, and MC Shan among others.

Authentication Problems in Windows 2000 with NTLM 2 Levels Above 2 in a Windows NT 4.0 Domain
This article was previously published under Q305379
This article has been archived. It is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated.
If a Windows 2000-based domain with NTLM version 2 levels above 2 is trusted by a Windows NT 4.0-based domain, authentication problems may occur. When you log on to a Windows 2000-based computer (as a member of the Windows NT 4.0-based domain), you can access shares on the primary domain controller, but not on any other member server in the trusted Windows NT 4.0-based domain.
Also, a Windows 2000-based cluster that is running the higher level of NTLM 2 does not authenticate a joining node if both nodes are part of a Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a-based domain. The node that attempts to join the cluster does not succeed and the following error is recorded in the cluster log:
[JOIN] Unable to get join version data from sponsor "ip address" using NTLM package, status 5.
The token that is returned by the Windows NT 4.0-based computer has a TokenSize value that is less than the Windows 2000 token if the NTLM 2 level is set above 2. This causes the TargetName and TargetInfo values to be null. Windows NT 4.0 has a function for a logon target that does not allow a null server name with high security, which causes the authentication problems.

Notice also that the sequence t is really just a special case of f. That is f(n) = t(n) for all natural numbers n.
Hence it suffices to find all x, for which f(x) = 200, and check if any of these x are integers. The function f is strictly increasing: This means that when x gets larger, the value f(x) also gets larger. This means in turn that there can be at most one value of x, for which f(x) = 200. What is this value? You need to solve the equation
5*2^x = 200
for x. First divide both sides by 5 to get
2^x = 40.
Do you know logarithms? If you do, use them to find x. You will get x = log(40)/log(2) (be sure to understand this (but only if you know logarithms)). This value of x is not an integer.

WASHINGTON - A summer's worth of straw polls, stump speeches and have-you-ever questions left Al Gore and George W. Bush in the same place they started: Far ahead of the competition but with plenty yet to prove.
For the rest of the presidential candidates in campaign 2000, the Labor Day weekend is a not-so-gentle reminder that time is running out on their underdog efforts.
"This is a business where it gets `too late' very early," said Tom Rath, a Republican strategist in Concord, N.H.
Rath was a top adviser to Lamar Alexander, the last of three Republicans who dropped out of the race this summer. House Budget Committee chairman John Kasich, New Hampshire Sen. Bob Smith and Alexander fell victim to Bush's stranglehold on campaign money and media attention.
Kasich endorsed Bush and kept hope alive for a vice presidential nod. Alexander took a final swipe at Bush and bowed out of political life. Smith, never more than a marginal candidate, is toying with a third-party bid.
That leaves eight Republicans battling Bush into the fall, with the first voting less than five months away. Only one Democrat, former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley, stands in Gore's way.
Their focus will begin to shift from money-raising and organization-building to an emphasis on issues. Front-runners and underdogs alike will try to distinguish themselves this fall on education, taxes, foreign policy and other poll-tested themes.
Gore and Bush clung to their leads all summer when few voters were tuned into politics.
In the first days of June, Bush held a 40 percentage point lead over the next-best GOP candidate in a CNN-Time poll. His lead in August barely changed. The same pollsters found that just one-fourth of the Democrats favored Bradley over Gore in June - and again in August.
Despite the similarly solid polls results, Bush weathered the summer much better than Gore.
The Texas governor made an error-free first campaign trip in June. He reported breaking every fund-raising record in July. He won the Iowa straw poll in August.
His first major gaffe - awkwardly handling questions about past drug use - didn't stagger the campaign. In a sign of things to come, former first lady Barbara Bush rushed to her son's aid.
"The time has come to say, `Enough,' " she said of the drug questions.
"Coming into the summer, certain things were wondered about Bush," Rath said. "Could he raise the money? How would he do on the trail? Was he going to win the straw vote? And he's clearly done all that.
"He's handled, if not adversity, the first tough stage of his campaign. People might argue how artfully it was handled, but they can't argue that he survived."
Bush didn't weaken the field as much as he hoped. He still must prove that he can withstand stiff competition over the long haul.
His biggest threats are from establishment Republicans like himself - John McCain and Elizabeth Dole - and conservative millionaire Steve Forbes, who can fight Bush dollar-for-dollar.
McCain said he could raise $5 million this quarter, enough to advertise his war-hero status and against-the-grain voting record in the Senate. The Arizona lawmaker is bypassing Iowa's caucuses to focus on New Hampshire, a land rich with independent voters and fellow veterans.
His New Hampshire polls numbers climbed over the summer. McCain aides said he has more state legislative endorsements than Bush.
Dole, the former American Red Cross president, breathed new life into her campaign with a solid third-place finish in the Iowa straw poll. She must capitalize on the burst of momentum.

Solar Power Rebates, Tax Credits and Solar Panel Incentives in Kentucky; 2012 Update
Kentucky has the basic solar power incentives but has not done as much as most other states.
Federal Tax Credit
The single most significant financial incentive for your solar power system in Kentucky is the same Federal Tax Credit that applies right across the USA. This gives you a credit on your Federal Tax bill equivalent to 30% of the cost of your solar system For more information on this visit out page "The 30% federal tax credit for residential solar power systems" Because this is a tax credit you get the benefit of this when you do your next federal tax return, rather than getting a cheque on the day of installation. Still, it has a real value if you are in a position where you are paying annual federal income tax equivalent to 30% or more of the value of your solar panel system.
Net Metering
Kentucky supports net metering for solar power systems up to 30kW in size. The net metering system in Kentucky is more complicated than most, so it is important for potential solar customers to check with their own power utility as to the regulations that apply to you.
Kentucky State Tax Exemptions and State Tax Credits

Causes of Discoid Eczema
The cause of discoid eczema is not known, but it usually occurs in cold weather and is most common in people who have dry skin. Typical aggravating factors in discoid eczema include:
- Hot weather
- Stress
- Fabric softeners
- Allergies
- Soaps and detergents
- Wearing wool clothing
- Bathing more than once a day
- Minor skin injury such as an insect bite or a burn may instigate an episode
- Dry skin in the winter months can cause dry non-itchy resulting in round patches.
In younger people, discoid eczema tends to be seen in conjunction with atopic eczema. In adults it is said to be possibly associated with stress, local irritation of the skin, and drinking too much alcohol.
Symptoms of Discoid Eczema
Discoid eczema can affect any part of the body with particular emphasis on the lower leg. One or many patches appear, and may persist for weeks or months. The majority of patches are round or oval, hence the name 'discoid' or 'nummular' dermatitis, which refers to their disc or coin shape. They can be several centimeters across, or as small as two millimeters.
These well-defined patches are pink, red, or brown. They have a dry cracked surface or a bumpy, blistered or crusted surface. Discoid eczema may be extremely itchy, or scarcely noticeable. The skin between the patches is usually normal, but may be dry and irritable.
The patches may clear up without leaving a sign. However, in darker skin, marks may persist for months. These may be dark brown (post inflammatory hyper pigmentation) or paler than surrounding skin (post inflammatory hypo pigmentation).
Occurrence of Discoid Eczema
Discoid eczema, which may also be identified as nummular eczema, , gravitational eczema or varicose eczema, or are small round or coin-shaped red or pinkish patchy rashes occurring on the lower legs, ankles or the trunk of the body. Because of its rounded shape, it is sometimes mistaken for ringworms, but with discoid eczema there is no parasitic involvement, just red, irritated skin.
Discoid eczema most often affects the lower part of the body with most occurrences on the lower legs, back, buttocks and arms. The symptoms are most often itchy, scaly and crusty skin.
Discoid eczema may be also called varicose eczema as it often is found in the elderly. Most often varicose eczema is found in the leg veins and thus it is also called gravitational eczema as there is a blood circulatory problem in most of the elderly patients. Discoid eczema is not hereditary. Atopic dermatitis is not related to allergies or asthma. Bacterial infections can become present if conditions are not sanitary with resulting infections.
This type of eczema shows as discrete coin-shaped patches of eczema on the limbs. It can occur:
- on otherwise normal skin
- with generally dry skin
- with atopic eczema
Discoid eczema can affect all age groups and both sexes, but is usually associated with middle-aged or older men.

The 1970s low-budget freak show/cult classic/cultural classic concerns the misadventures of Brad Majors (Barry Bostwick) and Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon) inside a strange mansion that they come across on a rainy night. After the wholesome pair profess their love through an opening song, their car breaks down in the woods, and they seek refuge in a towering castle nearby.
Adam Shankman directed the "Glee" episode. The movie was adapted from a stage musical, written and developed by Richard O'Brien. The film also debuted on Blu-ray for its 35th Anniversary on October 19.

DHS Tried To Breach Our Firewall, Says Georgia's Secretary of State (cyberscoop.com) 138
An anonymous reader quotes a report from CyberScoop: Georgia's secretary of state has claimed the Department of Homeland Security tried to breach his office's firewall and has issued a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson asking for an explanation. Brian Kemp issued a letter to Johnson on Thursday after the state's third-party cybersecurity provider detected an IP address from the agency's Southwest D.C. office trying to penetrate the state's firewall. According to the letter, the attempt was unsuccessful. The attempt took place on Nov. 15, a few days after the presidential election. The office of the Georgia Secretary of State is responsible for overseeing the state's elections. "At no time has my office agreed to or permitted DHS to conduct penetration testing or security scans of our network," Kemp wrote in the letter, which was also sent to the state's federal representatives and senators. "Moreover, your department has not contacted my office since this unsuccessful incident to alert us of any security event that would require testing or scanning of our network. This is especially odd and concerning since I serve on the Election Cyber Security Working Group that your office created." "The Department of Homeland Security has received Secretary Kemp's letter," a DHS spokesperson told CyberScoop. "We are looking into the matter. DHS takes the trust of our public and private sector partners seriously, and we will respond to Secretary Kemp directly." Georgia was one of two states that refused cyber-hygiene support and penetration testing from DHS in the leadup to the presidential election. The department had made a significant push for it after hackers spent months exposing the Democratic National Committee's internal communications and data.

Flooded Thames Seen Rising Again Along Commuter BeltAlex Morales and Whitney McFerron
Flood waters on the Thames River are predicted to rise again in commuter towns west of London as recent rains filter downstream.
After a brief respite last week, the river may swell as water from downpours on Feb. 14-15 reaches areas already inundated by record winter rainfall, the U.K. Environment Agency said on its website. "Levels on the Thames are expected to rise again over the next five days," according to the agency, which is charged with flood defense.
Britain is reeling from a series of storms since December that saturated the ground, overwhelmed rivers across the south and battered the coasts. While floods along the Thames and in Somerset, southwest England, may have peaked, waters could take weeks to drain in some areas, the Environment Agency said.
The agency today had 16 severe flood warnings in place, indicating a danger to life. Fourteen of those are along the Thames west of London, and the other two are in Somerset, where some villages have been cut off since before Christmas. A further 118 flood warnings were in place, and 169 flood alerts.
"From late Wednesday into Thursday, areas which have already flooded may flood again up to, but not over, the levels already experienced," the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, which includes some of the worst-affected commuter towns, said in a statement today on its website.
Unsettled Outlook
The U.K.'s Met Office has said the outlook for this week is "unsettled." While the forecaster has predicted less extreme downpours and winds, it maintains a yellow rain warning, the third-highest level, for southwest England, including southern Somerset. It said as much as 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) may fall.
"This is not expected to be as prolonged or as heavy as the rain last week but, given the saturated ground, the public should be aware that this still has the potential either to lead to localized flooding or to exacerbate existing issues," the Met Office said today on its website.
The Thames Barrier, a flood defense downstream from central London, was closed yesterday for a record 18th consecutive time to reduce the risk to the capital from tidal surges, according to a statement from the Environment Agency. Parts of the river last week reached their highest levels in more than 60 years.
More than 3,000 military personnel have been deployed to assist in flood-affected areas, and a further 5,000 are standing by, Defense Secretary Philip Hammond told the British Broadcasting Corp.'s "The Andrew Marr Show" yesterday.
Flood Tourism
Sunny weather yesterday brought flood "tourists" to the Thames, leading to complaints from residents that waves created by vehicles moving at speed through flood waters were entering their properties, according to Surrey Police.
"We have had reports that people are visiting flood-hit areas specifically to drive their vehicles through the floods," Assistant Chief Constable Gavin Stephens said in a statement. "Flood tourism is not helpful -- if there is no reason to drive through water then please stay away."
The cost of the flooding is approaching 600 million pounds ($1 billion), with damage to roads and infrastructure probably costing the country "several hundred million," Ernst & Young said yesterday.
Prime Minister David Cameron today announced a 10 million-pound support program for affected businesses. That's on top of a Feb. 12 pledge to make 10 million pounds available for farmers to repair damage and install flood-prevention measures.
"The government is taking action across the board to deal with the clearup and help hard-working people affected by the floods," Cameron said today in an e-mailed statement. "Dealing with these floods will be a long haul, requiring a stepped-up national effort."

Superintendent of Schools Winifred Hamilton revealed her operating budget request tonight during a 6 p.m. news conference. The total request is $245,389,259, which is a 3.66 percent increase over the current budget.
The budget will be discussed openly for the first time tonight during a 7 p.m. meeting of the school board's fiscal committee, and we'll have a full story in the paper Wednesday morning. But in the mean time, here's a little bit about what the budget is going to look like:
The orange numbers I wrote in on the left rank how much the particular items affect the budget, from most to least, and the notes in purple show how much of the increase each item account for.
Overall, the largest driver mentioned here is the loss of the GE Developing Futures Grant, which calls for the addition of 11.6 positions back into the operating budget to maintain the services that were previously paid for by the grant.
Other notables include the need to add 13 teachers to the city's elementary schools due to an expected 248-student enrollment increase, which will require the district to tinker with the number of classes at 11 of the city's 12 elementary schools (It looks like Westover is the only school that will remain with its current staffing level, but we'll have more on all that once we have a bit more time to examine these documents) and a $600,000 request to add 12 security guards across the elementary schools. That measure is likely to become the center of several conversations concerning the budget in coming weeks; a poll on the Advocate's city blog shows that 72 percent of voters thought the guards will make the schools safer, while 28 percent felt they wouldn't make a difference.

3. Constructing the main template
Usually, the websites do not use complete, separate templates for each page but rather construct the output from a couple of smaller files. The footer and header remain the same across the pages, so they are loaded from a common file, where the module-specific content is embedded. While creating the main template in Open Power Template 2, we must pay attention to the XML prolog and DTD. If we type them directly, OPT keeps them for itself and does not display them in the output code. To simplify working with them, we may use the two instructions:
opt:prolog and
opt:dtd. Furthermore, we will make use of a "container"
opt:root which provides a root node for the XML document and the rest of the content. Our template may look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" ?> <opt:root> <opt:prolog /> <opt:dtd template="xhtml10" /> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="pl" lang="pl"> <head> <title>My website</title> <!-- remaining tags --> </head> <body> <!-- header layout --> <!-- beginning of the code for displaying modules --> <opt:section name="modules"> <opt:include from="modules" /> </opt:section> <!-- end of the code for displaying modules --> <!-- footer layout --> </body> </html> </opt:root>
The prolog visible at the beginning of the document is not sent to the browser, but parsed by OPT for internal purposes. The "visible" prolog is generated by
opt:prolog instruction. It accepts the same arguments, as the original problog, but if we do not provide any, it uses the default values for them. Another simplification is
opt:dtd instruction, where the DTD block is enclosed. We can write everything manually:
<opt:dtd><![CDATA[ <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> ]]></opt:dtd>
Manual DTD declaration requires it to be enclosed within a CDATA section. You do not have to worry about that,
opt:dtdand OPT take care of it and do everything to make it correctly displayed for the browser.
However, this is not enough. As we already have an instruction, we get a couple of predefined DTD templates for the most common Document Type Definitions. They are selected with an
template attribute and have simple, intuitive names such as
html4 or
After those two tags, we are allowed to put the opening
<html> and start defining the website layout. By the way we should notice the way we display the module-dependent content. As we are supposed to know, in OPT we work with objects called 'views'. Each view is a template with the corresponding script data, so that each file has its own variable space and avoids naming collisions. The modules may generate their own view objects and pass them as their results to the controller:
public function action() { $view = new Opt_View('module_index.tpl'); $view->zmienna = 'foo'; return $view; } // end action();
Then they can be packed into a section and assigned to the main template. The
opt:include instruction renders the view objects, and what is more - it can read them directly from a section. It is illustrated by the sample codes. Below we can see, how to obtain a view from a module and append it to a section.
$moduleViews = array(); foreach($this->currentModules as $module) { $view = $module->action(); if($view instanceof Opt_View) { $moduleViews[] = array('view' => $view); } } $layout = new Opt_View('layout.tpl'); $layout->modules = $moduleViews; $output->render($layout);
Now we have both the main template and the PHP code to prepare it.

Infectious arthritis is most frequently associated with bacterial agents such as staphylococci, streptococci, and coliforms. Causes include hematogenous spread or penetrating trauma, including surgery. Other agents producing a septic arthritis include rickettsia (Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ehrlichiosis) and spirochetes (borreliosis).
Clinical signs of septic arthritis include lameness, swelling, pain of affected joint(s), and systemic signs of fever, malaise, anorexia, and stiffness. Radiography may reveal joint effusion in early cases and degenerative joint disease in chronic conditions. Arthrocentesis reveals increased levels of WBCs, especially neutrophils. The synovial fluid may be grossly purulent. Bacterial culture and antimicrobial sensitivity testing may confirm the diagnosis. Serologic testing is used for nonbacterial agents. Treatment is with appropriate IV and oral antibiotics, joint lavage, and surgical debridement in severe cases.
