- the Horace Howard Furness Memorial Library devoted to Shakespeariana;
- and the Edgar Fahs Smith Memorial Collection on the history of chemistry
While all of the special libraries included manuscript materials, until the 1940s no programmatic efforts had been made to acquire and build the library's manuscript resources. The library then began a conscientious effort to document twentieth-century American culture through the acquisition of the Theodore Dreiser Papers and collections relating to his circle of professional and personal acquaintances. In addition, codex manuscripts were systematically added to the collection to provide the original texts that circulated before the advent and common use of the printing press.
Today the Rare Book & Manuscript Library actively seeks to provide original source material for study in the humanities at Penn. Not only are existing strengths developed, but the variety of documentary materials has expanded to reflect current critical methodologies. These collections support the research and instructional efforts of Penn's faculty and students and serve as a resource for scholars throughout the world.
Access to approximately 13,000 linear feet of modern manuscripts is provided through two electronic bibliographic utilities, Franklin (Penn's on-line catalog) and WorldCat (the on-line catalog of the OCLC). Guides to modern manuscript collections are available in the department; some are also available on-line. All Western codex manuscripts have been cataloged in Franklin and WorldCat. Superseding the published guide, Catalogue of Manuscripts (edited by N. Zacour and R. Hirsch) and its supplements is an on-line catalog entitled Penn in Hand: Selected Manuscripts; it includes full facsimiles of many of the manuscripts.
The following categories represent either lists or more explicit descriptions of manuscript holdings in various chronological periods and geographical areas.

The bulk of manuscripts of this period relate to religion and the Roman Catholic Church, in particular, liturgy and devotions; theology and doctrine; and ecclesiastical administration. Holdings also include many works of philosophy and literature, as well as many documents concerned with official and legal matters, property, and finances. The majority of Penn's medieval manuscripts originate in Italy and France and are written in Latin.
In addition to these original medieval codex manuscripts, the library owns nearly one thousand medieval codices on microfilm. A listing by country/repository/shelfmark is available at the following url: http://www.library.upenn.edu/collections/microforms/medmss.html.
Liturgical and devotional works in the library's holdings include bibles, breviaries, missals, sacramental handbooks, and many works of devotional literature. Among these items is the oldest of the department's few Greek manuscripts--a leaf from an eleventh-century liturgical book, containing part of the Byzantine Easter service. A book of hours, use of Rouen and dating from 1475, was acquired in 2007 through the Schoenberg/Brizdle Manuscripts Initiative: it was illuminated for a local woman and includes fifteen arched miniatures and twenty-four calendar miniatures.
Theology and doctrine are represented by many manuscripts containing theological treatises, collections of sermons, and other doctrinal works.
Ecclesiatical administration is documented by many works discussing church procedure, canon law, statutes of religious orders, and the like. These include a thirteenth-century copy of the Decretals of Pope Gregory IX (acquired in 2007 through the Schoenberg/Brizdle Manuscripts Initiative) and a thirteenth-century manuscript containing two formularies of the Roman curia, one of which was published by Henry Charles Lea in 1892.
Philosophy and school texts are well represented among the Department's medieval manuscripts. These holdings include commentaries on the Sententiae of Peter Lombard; a fourteenth-century copy of William of Ockham's work on logic; works on Latin grammar and composition; and several works on astronomy, including a fourteenth-century copy of a Latin translation of the work of Geber. The oldest of the library's many Latin Aristotle texts and commentaries also date from this period.
Literature, particularly medieval European literature, provides the content of many of the codex manuscripts. There are works of poetry and of prose, both in Latin and in vernacular languages, especially French. Among these is a chansonnier, dating from approximately 1400 and containing over three hundred poems by Guillaume de Machaut, Eustache Deschamps, and others.
Classical literature is represented by only a few manuscripts of this period. One notable example is a fourteenth-century copy of Seneca's Tragedies with a commentary by Nicholas Trivet.
Government and commercial documents form a great part of the Department's medieval manuscript holdings. Some are official decrees and include the Library's oldest Latin manuscript, a document issued by Emperor Otto III in the year 1000. Most of these documents, however--both in Latin and in vernacular languages--consist of notarial records, property surveys, legal documents, accounts, and other financial records.
Introduction |
Medieval Studies |
Renaissance and Early Modern
Modern--American Studies | Modern--European Studies | South Asian Studies
Over 1,800 codices and archival collections dating from the fifteenth through the middle of the eighteenth centuries comprise the library's Renaissance and early modern manuscript holdings. Most are European in origin, particularly from Italy, France, and Germany; several items are from the Middle East, North Africa, and the newly-colonized Americas.
European political and economic history--Manuscripts
The Rare Book & Manuscript Library holds several hundred manuscript items that illuminate the political, economic, legal, and social history of Europe in general and Italy in particular during this period. They consist of diplomatic correspondence, statutes of Italian city-states, charters, historical accounts, legal documents, tax records, and commercial records. These items derive from throughout western Europe; the vast majority, however, are of Italian origin and are written in Italian.
Papers of an official nature include many letters and bound collections of correspondence. Among the most interesting are three volumes of letters from Cosimo III de' Medici (1642-1723), Grand Duke of Tuscany, to Marchese Montauti, envoy to the imperial court. There is also a letter dated 1446 from Charles VII, King of France, to his councilors and treasurers; and a collection of more than 250 letters dating from 1670 to 1681 that were sent to Michele Antonio Vibo, governor of Carpentras, by various officials at Avignon. In addition, the department has statutes of several different cities, mostly in Italy, such as Castino, Viglano d'Asti, Soncino, and Castello, from the fifteenth through seventeenth centuries.
Of particular importance is the Medici-Gondi Archive. It comprises approximately 240 manuscript items and collections within the Lea Library and documents the commercial activities of the Medici and Gondi families of Florence. A few other families, such as the Amadori, are also represented. This archive contains accounts, ledgers, correspondence, and other records, mostly of a financial and commercial nature. Most items date from the sixteenth century, though many are from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and even a few from the nineteenth. In addition, there is a separate archive of approximately twenty items and collections pertaining to the commercial activities of the Concini family.
Literary Manuscripts
Many of the codex manuscripts contain works of ancient, medieval, and early modern literature, both in Latin and in western European languages. The holdings include not only texts in their original language but also a number of translations.
The manuscripts include a representative selection of the more popular classical and late antique Roman authors: Vergil, Cicero, Sallust, Claudian, Boethius, as well as many others. Many of these texts are found in miscellanies containing several different works. Only ancient literature in Latin is represented; the Department holds no Greek literary manuscripts. Of particular note is a fifteenth-century manuscripts containing the Satires of Persius together with an unknown commentary. Many translations of Greek and Roman authors, particularly into French and Italian, can be found. Among them is a French rendering of the Aeneid, a German version of Cicero's speeches, a Latin translation of one of Lucian's works, and an Italian version of the so-called letters of Phalaris.
Literature written in western European national languages became more important during this period and can be found in over one hundred of the department's manuscripts. There are works of poetry and prose, most in French and Italian but also in German, Spanish, and English. Of particular interest are a fourteenth-century anthology of early poetry by Guillaume de Machaut, Eustache Deschamps, and others ; a fifteenth-century copy of Andrea da Barberino's Italian romance Guerino Meschino, the text of which differs in some respects from that of the printed version; and a fifteenth-century copy of the medieval French romance Le roman de la rose. With regard to Golden-Age Spanish drama, the department owns two of the four holograph manuscripts of Lope de Vega in North America. There are also two manuscripts of Calderon de la Barca, and many other works of Spanish drama and poetry of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Over one hundred of the library's manuscripts of this period relate to philosophy, mainly scholastic and Aristotelian. Latin copies of and commentaries on the philosophical works of Aristotle predominate. The most frequently-represented works are the Nicomachean Ethics, Physics, De Anima, and the logical works. Many items appear to be transcriptions of class lecture notes and take the form of quaestiones or disputationes concerning specific topics. These manuscripts, numbering over seventy, complement a large collection of printed Aristotelian texts and commentaries.
Religion and the Roman Catholic Church--Manuscripts
Topics include liturgy and devotional life, including hymnals, books of hours, and loose leaves from graduals, psalters, and other service books; theology and doctrine; and ecclesiastical administration. There are many collections of papal bulls and edicts, as well as documents discussing the constitutions and privileges of various religious orders. Several items relating to the Reformation can also be found, mainly in German and English. Of particular interest is an early fifteenth-century English manuscript containing Wyclifite homilies.
A particular strength is the library's holdings relating to the Inquisition. Most of these manuscript items form part of the Henry Charles Lea Library, a collection of manuscript and print material largely devoted to documenting the activities and procedures of the Inquisition, particularly in Spain and the Spanish dependencies. The majority date from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and consist of records concerning specific cases, transcripts of trials, and official documents discussing organization and procedure. Some concern accusations of occult activities such as witchcraft. This collection originated as the private working research library of the Philadelphia scholar Henry Charles Lea (1825-1909), author of books on the Inquisition and the Catholic Church.
Scientific Manuscripts
The Rare Book & Manuscript Library holds a variety of codex manuscripts and archival documents relating to several branches of scientific study and to the occult. The Edgar Fahs Smith Memorial Collection contains more than sixty manuscript items, as well as a variety of miscellaneous manuscripts, and many printed works concerned with the history of chemistry and alchemy. Most of the manuscripts date from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and consist of monograph treatises and lecture notes transcribed by students, including lectures by Joseph Black (1728-1799) and James Woodhouse (1770-1809). There are also some family papers and personal effects of Joseph Priestley, who discovered oxygen. This collection was begun by Edgar Fahs Smith (1854-1928), professor of chemistry and provost at the University of Pennsylvania. Smith was concerned with the development of science, particularly chemistry, and the scientific way of looking at the world. Because he was interested in methods of scientific investigation that proved not to be successful as well as those that did, Smith collected many works concerned with alchemy as well as modern scientific chemistry.
There are approximately twenty-five manuscripts dealing with astronomical and mathematical topics. Of particular note is one dating ca. 1500 which contains Latin translations of four ancient Greek cosmologies, including Plato's Timaeus and the De incorruptione mundi of Philo Judaeus.
In addition, among the Inquisition-related materials comprising the Henry Charles Lea Library are a number of items relating to accusations of witchcraft and occult activities.
Native languages of the Americas--Manuscripts
One small but important group of items is the Daniel Garrison Brinton Collection, containing approximately 175 manuscript and sixty printed items documenting the native languages of Mexico and Central America. Some are philological works and a few preserve native traditions, but many concern Christian, mainly Roman Catholic, doctrine and scripture, written in the native languages by European Christian missionaries; these materials were collected because they provide early documentation for indigenous languages. This collection was originally assembled by the philologist Carl Hermann Berendt (1817-1878) who conducted extensive fieldwork in Mexico and Central America. It also contains many of Berendt's notebooks and transcriptions. Daniel Garrison Brinton (1837-1899) cataloged it in 1884. Though there are a few original manuscript items dating as early as the sixteenth century, most of the manuscripts are nineteenth-century copies made by Berendt of older items he found in Mexico and Central America.
Colonial and early Federal Pennsylvania--Manuscripts
The library holds several manuscripts from the Colonial and early Federal period in Pennsylvania. Among them are the commonplace book of Francis Daniel Pastorius (1651-1719), founder of Germantown (now a part of Philadelphia); commercial records, such as the Vanuxem family (Philadelphia and Bristol, Pennsylvania merchants); and lecture notes taken by students of Dr. Benjamin Rush (1746-1813) and of other medical lecturers at Penn.
Islamic and other non-Western manuscripts
The library holds several manuscripts on Islamic topics, including copies of the Koran. They date from the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries and are mostly in Arabic; some are in Persian. There are also a few manuscripts in Ethiopic containing Christian scriptural and liturgical texts.

'Mad Men' returns for next-to-last season
If it seems as if the first five seasons of Mad Men often were about trying to understand Don Draper's past, it isn't too much of a leap to think that we could focus more on his future and that of other characters as the show begins its sixth, and penultimate, season Sunday.
Some viewers thought the fifth season wasn't one of the AMC series' best, and, to be sure, there was a sense that Draper and his advertising agency were becalmed in confusion about how to adapt to changing times in the middle of the turbulent '60s. But those who have followed the show have learned that it is episodic only in the way chapters of a great novel contribute to the full story.
As usual, creator Matthew Weiner asks that critics not include spoilers about the premiere in our reviews. We're not supposed to tell you what year it is, for example, although it's not overtly stated in the premiere anyway. Nor are we to tell you the status of the relationship between Don (Jon Hamm) and Megan (Jessica Paré) and whether Sterling Cooper has expanded to an additional floor.
After five years of sifting and resifting through real and false clues in Mad Men, these seemingly irrelevant advisories send us off on a mental scavenger hunt even before the premiere episode's first scene, which shows Don reading on a sunny beach.
The suggestion that we are beginning a two-season process of summing up is underscored by the title of Sunday's double episode, "The Doorway." We hear the word doorway and we think "entrance." But doorways go both ways: You can enter through one, but you can also leave. And what if you open a door and there is nothing there — literally nothing? No floor, no other room, nothing to keep you from tumbling to your doom, perhaps like the silhouetted figure in the opening credits of Mad Men.
The season-opener is littered with references to mortality, some of them humorous, others more ponderous. Knowing Don's past — that he is a literal version of the American ideal of the self-made man, who appropriated his identity from a dead soldier in Korea — how does mortality come into play here? Is Weiner suggesting or teasing us that Don or other major characters might die? Or could he be setting us up for the death of the appropriated identity of Don? Throughout the opener, casual remarks pop out from the chatter. We wouldn't give most of them a second thought in real life or in any other TV show, but Weiner has conditioned us to listen more closely when they are spoken by a character in Mad Men.
One reason some viewers found the fifth season disappointing was that despite being married now (or perhaps because of it, in part), Don has been growing more and more ill at ease, more haunted. His darkening ennui suggests that his purloined identity might be chafing more than before: He has never been comfortable in his own skin because that "skin" isn't his own.
Whatever will happen in the finale of Mad Men in the seventh season, Don Draper's journey has been and remains maddening, in a very good way as far as what makes a great TV show. The show is, of course, already a classic because of great writing, direction, performances and design, but also because Weiner has consistently nurtured it as a piece of literature. In so doing, he has more than proved that television has the potential to delve as deeply into character as a great novel often does.
Our occasional disappointment might derive from how we've been conditioned to view a TV series. With an equally good show like Breaking Bad, for example, the audience gets a lot of edginess and action along with the metaphysical explorations of good and evil by creator Vince Gilligan. Meth labs, though, offer more opportunities for action than advertising agencies.
The action of Mad Men is largely psychological, and much involves Don wrestling with himself. We want to root for him, of course, and that's one of the things that hold our interest from season to season. At the same time, we are never sure who we're really rooting for. If that frustrates, and it inevitably will, stick around. There's a reason for almost everything in Mad Men.

Two-hour season premiere at 9 p.m. April 7 on AMC

"Breaks & Bikes" ¿¿1/2
A guy squanders his 20s on rock star dreams — what else are your 20s for, anyway? — only to decide at 30 that law school is the better option. One night, after completing an exam and working a shift at the bar, Drew hops on his bicycle to ride home. If only that car hadn't slammed into him.
That's when we meet him — in the hospital, in a coma, surrounded by his mother and a collection of friends not quite sure how to cope.
It is a reunion of sorts, held under less-than-ideal circumstances. They sit vigil, unable to avoid the awkward conversations, the unintentional jokes, the confessional asides. Meanwhile, Drew (a stoic Joe Wiens) offers up his own internal monologue, heard only by the audience: "Music. My bike. Cocaine," he says, summing up his post-collegiate years, which also included plenty of bed-hopping. Not for nothing, he's slept with every woman who comes to visit him in the hospital, save for his mother. Of his old paramours, the most clearly defined and complex is played by Cyd Blakewell as a gal who seems forever comfortable in her skin, even when the situation at hand is tension-filled.
Written by Mallery Avidon (for the Pavement Group) using a structure that brings to mind "The Big Chill," the play unfolds as if it were a mystery. Who are these people? What are their back stories? What is all this drama building to? What is going on? It's a sound way to build a play. (Audiences who saw Sinnerman Ensemble's "Sweet Confinement" last year — also starring Blakewell and one of her co-stars here, Keith Neagle — will notice that the two plays share not only a cast but the same premise.)
Avidon lays out the trail of thematic bread crumbs. You want to follow and see where they lead, even if the final destination turns out to be a narrative dead end. I wasn't a fan of the maudlin tone that overwhelms the latter portions, erasing what was so interesting and nuanced in director Kathryn Walsh's production. There are other hiccups as well, but Avidon has a real talent for monologues. Drew's elaborately detailed fantasy about hooking up with a fellow law student is a story within the story — specific and tactile, full of lace bras and reluctant relationships — and it says more about this character than any other moment in the play.
Through Dec. 9 at Collaboration Studio in the Flat Iron Arts Building, 1579 N. Milwaukee Ave. Tickets are $25 at pavementgroup.org
"Is This Reel Life?" ¿¿1/2
Old-school movie cliches and archetypes are tweaked and satirized in this sketch show directed by Anneliese Toft at the Cornservatory. The trick here is to keep things moving, which Toft does for roughly the first half or so, putting the conventions of Hollywood romances, Westerns and action films through the ringer. The strongest sketch is quick and to the point, about a mechanical bull that defeats everyone except one woman. "What happened next was absolutely stupid," says the narrator (a vaquero played by Vernon Mina) as a waiter brings dinner to the champion bull rider: "She had table service on top of that bull!" Something about the absurd way the line was delivered made the whole scene worth it.
There's good group chemistry here. The women (Erin Johnson and Alex Young) are the standouts, finding a nice balance between silly and committed to their roles. The show falls off the rails at some point, though, limping through an interminable sketch from Johnson as an Audrey Hepburn-obsessed teen. A riff on theatrical marriage proposals never quite finds its comedic footing, and an improvised section from the whole group that rejiggers well-known movie plots just flat-out doesn't work. The snap of the earlier portions slackens too much near the end, but credit to Toft, who establishes each Hollywood genre with just the right cliched soundtrack.
Through Dec. 14 at the Cornservatory, 4210 N. Lincoln Ave. Tickets are $10 at 773-620-1331 or cornservatory.org

On reading Jerry Scott's comments on selected state-appointed, committee-bred designs in the creation of 'Common Core' Curriculum, I�m somewhat taken aback by the slight odor of the �Progressive Socialist uniformity code� as being a healthy thing for the minds of America's youth.
On reading Jerry Scott's comments on selected state-appointed, committee-bred designs in the creation of 'Common Core' Curriculum, I�m somewhat taken aback by the slight odor of the �Progressive Socialist uniformity code� as being a healthy thing for the minds of America's youth. I don't know about you, but I don't like whole idea of massive, totalitarian, Federal educational standards being applied to every school in the country. Concentrating power in an age of government designed and controlled medicine might sound Utopian to some, but like Obamacare, Common Core curriculum�s faults, to quote Bill Whittle, get incorporated into a single point of failure. What is meant by that is � when we had decentralized, personalized Little Red Schoolhouse education, we had personally responsible communities, with strong incentives to find excellent teachers. The net effect on the whole of America then: failures to the individual system and/or instructor wouldn't tear down the whole fabric of the national, educational system.
Already we are seeing the effects of this totalitarian, federalized education system in Simsonville S.C. Their history text book �The Americans,� programming students for a future rewrite of the Constitution by its watered-down with a insidiously crafty reinterpretation of Amendments 2 and 3:
�(they) grant citizens the right to bear arms as members of a militia of citizen-soldiers and prevent the government from housing troops in private homes in peacetime,� the book�s summary reads. In a separate box on the same page it paraphrases the amendment as �the right to bear arms,� not the right to �keep� and bear arms. (Jason Howerton)
Is that what you want your children internalizing as defining the Amendments to the Constitution? By the standards of Common Core curriculum, if this book, or one like it, was to go standardized, nation-wide, it would be what your children would take away as Constitutional � or what we say it is.
Jerry Scott also mentions we �lag behind many developed nations�� I would lastly, admonish Mr. Scott to Google �Bulitt County School Test 1912� for an example of how far we've fallen with decades of �educational experimentation.� It is an actual test given to 8th graders in the era of small, decentralized, individualized, personally responsible education. The people who designed Common Core would still be failing second grade at one of these schools.
Robert Hadley, New Bern
Editors note: In an emailed statement, a spokesman for Greenville County Schools confirmed that Hillcrest High School in Simpsonville, S.C., has received �several emails and phone calls� expressing concern over how the textbook, �The Americans,� defines the Second Amendment. The director of communications at Greenville County Schools said that the district has �looked into the matter and found that page 149 of the state-adopted textbook does not accurately present the Second Amendment. It states that citizens have the right to bear arms as members of a militia of citizen-soldiers. This is not accurate. We will inform our high school social studies teachers that they should refer to page 166 of the textbook which accurately presents the Amendment (as originally ratified).�

What do professionals in Scouting do every day? The responsibilities are as broad as the tasks are varied, and no two days are the same for a typical Scouting district executive. No matter where they work, in the city, the suburbs, or the countryside, one thing is for certain—this is anything but a "cubicle" job.
Our field staff are typically found in the community, not behind a desk.The job of the professional Scouter is to inspire, recruit, train, and support the BSA's adult volunteers. In addition, they work with community leaders to rally public support for Scouting.

Today, Walton County Health Department Administrator, Holly B. Holt and Holmes County Health Department Administrator, Rick Davis announced that the Florida Department of Health (DOH) has issued a mosquito-borne illness alert for Holmes County where two human cases of West Nile Virus have been confirmed, with one case possibly having exposure in Walton County.
WALTON AND HOLMES COUNTY � Today, Walton County Health Department Administrator, Holly B. Holt and Holmes County Health Department Administrator, Rick Davis announced that the Florida Department of Health (DOH) has issued a mosquito-borne illness alert for Holmes County where two human cases of West Nile Virus have been confirmed, with one case possibly having exposure in Walton County. The mosquito-borne disease alert continues in Walton County where a third human case of West Nile Virus has been confirmed. The possibility that others may become infected with the virus remains extremely high, and the health department strongly encourages the public to continue to take precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes.
Symptoms of West Nile Virus may include headache, fever, fatigue, dizziness, weakness and confusion. Members of the public who develop a fever or other signs of illness should consult with their health care provider. Health care providers should contact Walton or Holmes County Health Department if they suspect an individual may be infected with a mosquito-borne illness.
Both county health departments remind residents and visitors to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. County mosquito control offices and the health departments continue surveillance and prevention efforts and encourage everyone to take basic precautions to help limit exposure by following the Department of Health recommendations.
To protect yourself from mosquitoes, you should remember to �DRAIN AND COVER.�
DRAIN standing water to stop mosquitoes from multiplying:
Drain water from garbage cans, house gutters, buckets, pool covers, coolers, toys, flower pots or any other containers where sprinkler or rain water has collected.
Discard old tires, drums, bottles, cans, pots and pans, broken appliances and other items that aren�t being used.
Empty and clean birdbaths and pet�s water bowls at least once or twice a week.
Protect boats and vehicles from rain with tarps that don�t accumulate water.
Maintain swimming pools in good condition and appropriately chlorinated. Empty plastic swimming pools when not in use.
Cover skin with clothing or repellent:
Wear shoes, socks, and long pants and long-sleeves. This type of protection may be necessary for people who must work in areas where mosquitoes are present.
Apply mosquito repellent to bare skin and clothing. Use mosquito netting to protect children younger than 2 months old.
Cover doors and windows with screens to keep mosquitoes out of your house. Repair broken screening on windows, doors, porches and patios.
Tips on Repellent Use
Always read label directions carefully for the approved usage before you apply a repellent. Some repellents are not suitable for children.
Products with concentrations of up to 30 percent DEET are generally recommended. Other US Environmental Protection Agency-approved repellents contain Picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or IR 3535. These products are generally available at local pharmacies. Look for active ingredients to be listed on the product label.
Apply insect repellent to exposed skin, or onto clothing, but not under clothing.
In protecting children, read label instructions to be sure the repellent is age-appropriate. According to the CDC, mosquito repellents containing oil of lemon eucalyptus should not be used on children under the age of 3 years. DEET is not recommended on children younger than 2 months old.
Avoid applying repellents to the hands of children. Adults should apply repellent first to their own hands and then transfer it to the child�s skin and clothing.
If additional protection is necessary, apply a permethrin repellent directly to your clothing. Again, always follow the manufacturer�s directions.
The Florida Department of Health (DOH) continues to conduct statewide surveillance for mosquito borne illnesses. Residents of Florida are encouraged to report dead birds to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission web site at http://www.myfwc.com/bird/. For more information, visit DOH�s Environmental Public Health web site at http://www.doh.state.fl.us/Environment/medicine/arboviral/index.htmlor call the Walton County Health Department at (850) 892-8021 or the Holmes County Health Department at (850) 547-8500.

The HTC 8S, the company's mid-level Windows Phone 8 handset, is on its way to US Cellular, according to a thread created on TeamUSCellular. Member iRub1Out published a number of handsets that are heading to the US carrier, but of course we're only interested in Windows Phone.
While the source is no way official confirmation, we can at least expect US Cellular to pick up a Windows Phone, and the HTC 8S looks the likely candidate. It's definitely a possibility, but be sure to take this rumour with a grain of salt as usual.
The carrier had previously signed a deal with ZTE to stock its 'Render' (Orbit) Windows Phone 7.8 handset.

There are over 30 different types of muscular dystrophy, which are divided into nine different categories used for diagnosis.
This type of muscular dystrophy is the most common among children. The majority of individuals affected are boys; it is rare for girls to develop Duchenne. Symptoms include:
trouble walking
loss of reflexes
difficulty standing up
poor posture
bone thinning
scoliosis, which is excessive curvature of the spine
mild mental impairment
breathing difficulties
swallowing problems
lung and heart weakness
Individuals with Duchenne typically require a wheelchair before their teenage years. The life expectancy for those with this disease is late teens or twenties.
Becker muscular dystrophy is similar to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but less severe. This type of muscular dystrophy also more commonly affects boys. Muscle weakness occurs mostly in the arms and legs, with symptoms appearing between age 11 and 25. Other symptoms of Becker muscular dystrophy include:
walking on the toes
frequent falls
muscle cramps
trouble getting up from the floor
Many with this disease do not need a wheelchair until they are in their mid-thirties or older, while a small percentage never require one. Most individuals live until middle age or later.
Congenital muscular dystrophies are often discovered between birth and age 2. This is when parents begin to notice that their child's motor functions and muscle control are not developing as they should. Symptoms vary and may include:
muscle weakness
poor motor control
being unable to sit or stand without support
foot deformities
trouble swallowing
respiratory problems
vision problems
speech problems
intellectual impairment
While symptoms vary from mild to severe, the majority of those with congenital muscular dystrophy are unable to sit or stand without help. The lifespan of someone with this type also varies, depending on the symptoms. Some individuals die in infancy while others live until adulthood.
Mytonic Dystrophy
This form of muscular dystrophy, also called Steinert's disease or dystrophia myotonica, causes an inability to relax muscles after they contract (myotonia). Myotonia is only found in this type of muscular dystrophy.
Myotonic dystrophy can affect the muscles in the face as well as the central nervous system, adrenal glands, heart, thyroid, eyes, and gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Symptoms most often appear first in the face and neck. Symptoms include:
drooping muscles of the face, producing a thin, haggard look
difficulty lifting the neck (weak neck muscles)
difficulty swallowing
droopy eyelids (ptosis)
early baldness in front area of the scalp
poor vision, including cataracts
weight loss
increased sweating
This dystrophy type may also cause impotence and testicular atrophy in males; in women, it may cause irregular periods and infertility.
Mytonic dystrophy is typically diagnosed in adults in their twenties or thirties. While symptoms can affect quality of life, most are not life threatening, and sufferers often live a long life.
Facioscapulohumeral (FSHD)
FSHD is also known as Landouzy-Dejerine disease. This type of muscular dystrophy affects the muscles in the face, shoulders, and upper arms. Individuals with FSHD may have difficulty chewing or swallowing; their mouths may take on a crooked appearance. Shoulders look slanted, and the shoulder blades appear wing like. A smaller number of individuals may develop hearing and respiratory problems.
FSHD tends to progress slowly; symptoms usually appear during an individual's teenage years, but may lie dormant until his or her forties. Most individuals with this condition live a full lifespan.
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy causes weakening of the muscles and loss of muscle bulk. This type of muscular dystrophy usually begins in the shoulders and hips, and may also occur in the legs and neck. Individuals with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy may find it hard to get up out of a chair, walk up and down stairs, and carry heavy items. They may also stumble and fall more easily.
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy affects both males and females. Most people with this form of muscular dystrophy are disabled by age 20; however, most individuals have a normal life expectancy.
Oculopharyngeal (OPMD)
OPMD causes weakness in the facial, neck, and shoulder muscles. Other symptoms include:
drooping eyelids
trouble swallowing
voice changes
vision problems
heart problems
difficulty walking
OPMD occurs in both men and women and is usually diagnosed when individuals are in their forties or fifties.
This type, also called Distal myopathy, affects the muscles in the forearms, hands, calves, and feet. It may also affect the respiratory system and heart muscles. Symptoms, which include the loss of fine motor skills and difficulty walking, tend to progress slowly. Most individuals, both male and female, are diagnosed between 40 and 60 years of age.
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy tends to affect more boys than girls. This type of muscular dystrophy usually begins in childhood. Symptoms include:
weakness in upper arm and lower leg muscles
breathing problems
heart problems
shortening of the muscles in the spine, neck, ankles, knees, and elbows
Most individuals with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy die in mid-adulthood from heart or lung failure.
Part 3 of 4: Tests
How Is Muscular Dystrophy Diagnosed?
There are a number of different tests used to diagnose muscular dystrophies. These tests include:
enzyme tests—blood is tested for enzymes released by damaged muscles
genetic testing—blood is tested for genetic markers for muscular dystrophy
electromyography—an electrode needle is inserted into a muscle to test the muscle's electrical activity
muscle biopsy—a sample of the muscle is tested for muscular dystrophy

One of the most popular themes running through the mobile phone industry this year has been the unprecedented growth in Android adoption. I've argued that the adoption was initiated on the supply side by vendors and operators, but demand has certainly manifested itself.
Android is almost viral in the way it spreads. With no constraints on intellectual property, pricing, contracts, modification or terms of distribution, the incentives to push product out are phenomenal. It even works, mostly.
One hypothesis of the consequences of this viral adoption is that there will be a "commoditization" of smartphones with rapid price erosion to follow. This in turn might even lead to lower margins for Apple and RIM and most major vendors, including those selling Android itself.
In order to test this hypothesis, we need to look at what has been happening to prices.

Story highlights
- Brian Cahill became a suicide prevention trainer after his son, a police officer, killed himself
- About 145 cops commit suicide a year, he says. Thousands have PTSD and depression
- Cahill: Cops see traumatic stuff every day. What helps them on the job can harm them at home
- Cahill: Police departments need to teach officers to recognize trauma and provide help
On the evening of December 3, 2008, John Francis Cahill, a police officer for 19 years, walked up a trail in California's Santa Cruz Mountains. He stopped, took out a .40-caliber Glock semi-automatic handgun and shot himself in the temple. He was 42 years old. He was the father of two daughters. He was my firstborn son.
Most Americans are aware of the high rate of suicide among soldiers. Less attention has been paid to those who protect us on the home front.
The Badge of Life, a group of former cops dedicated to preventing police suicide, reports that about 145 police officers take their lives every year, twice the number of cops killed by felons.
The rate of police suicides is more than 1½ times the rate of the general population. The Badge of Life also reports that for every suicide, a thousand working cops suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, and another thousand struggle with serious depression, marital problems or substance abuse.
My son had been through a painful divorce and was distraught about the failure of his marriage, his financial problems and the possible impact of the divorce on his youngest daughter. Only after losing my son did I learn how susceptible cops are to suicide.
Kevin Gilmartin, a former Arizona police officer turned clinical psychologist, wrote a book called "Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement," and consults with the FBI and police agencies around the country. His main message is that cops can never let their guard down, that the very things that make cops safe and effective on the job can cause great harm in their personal and family life, and in some cases, destroy them.
Gilmartin writes vividly of the dangers of the "hypervigilance biological roller-coaster," where officers on duty are "alive, alert, energetic, involved and humorous," but when off duty, are "tired, detached, isolated and apathetic." He points out that hypervigilance on the job produces a healthy amount of cynicism and mistrust, which is necessary for street survival, but off the job, can be destructive for emotional survival and relationships with family and loved ones.
Good cops create control out of chaos, and are willing to risk everything during a critical incident, which is usually short-lived. But when a cop gets depressed, these professional habits can become lethal. Cops don't do well when they can't control their situation or the source of their depression, and they begin to despair when they see that their problem -- the "critical incident" -- is never-ending.
That's what happened to John. He told me how frustrating it was not to be in control, and he often told me, "This will never end." He went from depression to despair.
I believe he was convinced that everyone would be better off if he was gone. John and I were close. I knew he was struggling, but my perception of him as secure and healthy never allowed me to imagine he could end his own life.
Ellen Kirschman, a psychologist, police trainer, and author of "I Love a Cop," writes about the paradox between an officer's work life and personal life, and how police work changes people.
She emphasizes that cops are oriented toward control and details situations that lead to suicide, including, "family conflicts, relationship losses, depression, immediate access to guns, poor coping skills, financial difficulties, shame, failure and a distorted but culturally correct sense of invincibility and independence."
Kirschman defines trauma as a normal reaction to an abnormal event, an emotional reaction that can lead to depression and suicidal thoughts. A police officer can be traumatized by many events that are abnormal or infrequent in other people's lives: shootings, a civilian getting severely injured in a police action, a child's death, a violent confrontation, a bad car crash or a gory crime scene.
John Violanti, a former New York state trooper, is a public health professor who has extensively researched police suicide. He is the co-editor of "Police Suicide: Tactics for Prevention," which advocates peer support and stress management programs and emphasizes the importance of mental health treatment and a culture in which asking for help is not seen as a poor career move or a sign of weakness.
The Badge of Life promotes "emotional self-care training," with the idea that every officer is a potential trauma victim. The members believe suicide prevention programs are crucial, but argue that departments must go beyond that to train officers to recognize trauma in themselves, to manage stress, to become resilient, and to understand the value of healthy lifestyles, including exercise.
My son was the second San Jose police officer to commit suicide in 2008. As a result, the San Jose Police Department started to require agency-wide training. The department told its officers that if they were depressed and feeling suicidal, they could come in confidentially, receive counseling and keep their jobs. In the year after John died, 12 officers came in, got help and stayed on the job.
The San Francisco Police Department lost three officers to suicide in 2010. Today, the SFPD's advanced officer training program includes a two-hour session on trauma, depression, substance abuse, suicide and the value of an annual, voluntary mental health checkup, not unlike an annual physical.
As part of that training, I speak each week to 30 officers. I tell them John's story, summarize the research on police suicide, tell them that the very things that make them effective as cops can be destructive in their personal lives, and stress that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength. When I'm back in my car I usually fall apart, revisiting the horror of four years ago. But I know I'm honoring my son by doing this.
The California Highway Patrol has also aggressively addressed suicide prevention. But too many other police departments across the nation, even as they invest heavily in training in weapons use, tactics and physical safety, are not acknowledging the hidden risks of police work and protecting those who protect the rest of us.

A small number of Zeek Rewards affiliates will likely have more time to file their claim after the case's receiver requested a bar date extension Monday.
Court-appointed receiver Ken Bell asked a federal judge to extend the claims process until Nov. 15 for affiliates and banks still resolving issues with cashier's checks and other instruments paid to the alleged Ponzi scheme before it was shut down last fall.
In the weeks preceding the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's asset freeze, hundreds of thousands of affiliate checks were never cashed by Rex Venture Group LLC, the Lexington-headquartered company that maintained Zeek Rewards and related penny auction site Zeekler.com.
To the displeasure of many affiliates, Bell collected those outstanding checks for the entire pool of receivership assets, which will eventually be used to pay back the more than 800,000 users who lost money through the program.
However, when Bell presented what he said was more than 140,000 cashier's checks and other instruments for deposit, many were not paid. One reason was because a handful of banks were issuing stop payments and refunding their customers the full check amount.
Bell said that was done "improperly," and he sent letters to more than 700 banks, demanding payment of the halted transactions as well as thousands of dollars of "returned item fees" the receivership accrued after trying to deposit the instruments.
Most banks subsequently paid the items, Bell said in a motion filed in U.S. District Court in Charlotte. In addition, he anticipates that the majority will be paid by Oct. 15.
When banks make those payments, it will either come from their funds, or they will charge their customers for the amount of the original checks, Bell said in the motion.
Bell asked a judge to extend the claims deadline until Nov. 15 for affiliates who are charged or debited by a bank that makes a payment to the receivership on or after Aug. 1 for a stopped payment instrument. The extension also applies to banks seeking to file a subrogation claim on behalf of an affiliate, according to the motion.
Some of those impacted are from Davidson County, the Triad region and throughout North Carolina.
A small group of residents said NewBridge bank placed a stop payment on their outstanding check to Zeek Rewards. Robert Beckom, a Churchland resident, said the NewBridge branch in Tyro wrote him a check for $1,000, which is what he put into the program.
Additionally, State Employees' Credit Union has provided at least 153 members with refunds, totaling nearly $213,000.
For more information, go to www.zeekrewardsreceivership.com.
The original bar date for the online claims portal expired in September. About 173,782 individual claims, totaling about $550 million, were submitted through an electronic portal from May 15 to Sept. 5.
To date, the receivership has collected more than $325 million to return to the program's "net losers." That total could increase, as Bell intends to file "clawback" lawsuits against some of the program's estimated 77,000 "net winners" in coming months.

Why See SoMo?
R&B's Brightest Newcomer
SoMo's rise to fame has been a rapid one. The Austin native began singing in clubs with his father when he was young, but really hit the big time when he started uploading videos to Youtube. His covers of the likes of Drake, John Legend and Usher garnered hundreds of millions of views, and caught the attention of Rebublic Records, who signed him in 2013.
SoMo's self-titled debut album was released in 2014. Featuring the singles 'Ride' and 'Show Off', it was a confident collection of atmospheric and lovelorn R&B, that entered the Billboard 200 at number 2 and proved he'd really made the leap from internet star to bona fide music superstar. Since then his subsequent album releases point toward a stunning transition from bedroom pop star to fully fledged tour de force performer. Catch SoMo when he performs near you soon!

OPPO F7 - A New Selfie Expert With Notch!
Next generation OPPO phone named F7 is on its way to launch in Pakistan soon so stay updated if you want to fall in love this next generation smartphone with modified looks and specifications. OPPO F7 seems to follow the Apple in its design because on the top side of the screen you will see the Notch that we have already saw in Apple iPhone X that was launched previously.
OPPO's F7 is not only getting the Notch but it seems that they are going to make the screen super wide and in their post they have called it "Super Full Screen" which mean that OPPO F7's display will be more spacious as compare to its last year sibling. Ratio of display is 19:9 and the resolution of the display will be 1080 x 2280.
OPPO equipped F7 with mind blowing 407 pixel per inch density so you can get the fascinating mobile experience while using your best buddy which is going to be your brand new OPPO F7. Samsung has focused on its own design and it seems that this one is the only brand which is not going to bring Notch in its smartphones.
Huawei also did the same thing which OPPO did to its new smartphone which is named F7. 6.23 inch of screen is going to come out of box which is protected with corning glass too while under the hood you will get the MediaTek Helio P6 chipset which is going to power up F7 and it is also going to provide a solid base for octa core processor of this phone.
6 GB of RAM is expected to come for multi-tasking and 64 GB of internal storage seems enough for F7. Along with such massive amount of storage additional SD card slot is also packed in the chassis so you can expand internal storage up to 256 GB.
F7 is a selfie concentrated device so you will get the 25 MP camera for the front equipped with enhanced HDR mode and AI capabilities to automatically click the image with camera of F7 by OPPO.

Commitment and scope
The Educational Journal of Living Theories (EJOLTS) is committed to publishing living-educational-theory (often shortened to living-theory) accounts of practitioner-researchers from a wide range of global, social, cultural and professional contexts. We welcome submissions from all Living Educational Theory (often shortened to Living Theory) researchers who wish to contribute rigorous and valid accounts of their living-theories to improving educational knowledge.
The journal focuses on the living-theories of practitioner-researchers. Researchers generate their living-theories as their values-based 'explanations for their educational influences in their own learning, the learning of others and the learning of social formations' (Whitehead, 1989) in the process of researching questions such as, 'How do I improve what I am doing'. The values at the heart of Living Educational Theory research (often shortened to Living Theory research) are the life-enhancing values that are relational and ontological, in the sense that they give meaning and purpose to the lives of individuals and groups. They are values that carry hope for the future of humanity, such as love, freedom, justice, compassion, courage, care and democracy.
To learn more about Living Theory research watch this 3 minute video, and visit and join the conversations in the EJOLTS community space, and on Facebook and LinkedIn.
