Expanded tweets, per-user notifications, and more now available in Twitter for iPhone
Twitter's mobile team has been hard at work turning the functionality dial to maximum for their latest update, Twitter for iPhone 4.3. You can now enjoy the same expanded tweet's in the iPhone app that you get on the Twitter.com website. Here's what the Twitter bog had to say:
Since we introduced expanded Tweets on twitter.com, we've added several new partners like MLB and C-SPAN to a diverse and growing list of media sources. Starting today, you can also expand Tweets on Twitter for iPhone and Twitter for Android. When you tap a Tweet linking to a Kickstarter project, for example, you can play its video directly from the Tweet details view in your app. You can also read article summaries when you tap Tweets linking to sources like The Atlantic or play videos or view images when you expand Tweets linking to websites like Etsy and Vimeo. This new experience will roll out gradually to web, iPhone and Android users.
You can also set up per-account notifications so you can make sure you never miss a tweet from specific users -- like breaking news, daily deals, or... the boss. There's a variety of other updates in the Twitter 4.3 as well.
Again, the official Twitter client is intended for the new generation of Twitter users who don't have many followers, seldom if ever DM, and follow tons and tons of celebrities. It's not meant for power Twitter users who've been brought up on a steady diet of Twitterrific, Tweetie (the previous Twitter for iPhone), and Tweetbot.
However, the concern lately is that, rather than let those alternative 3rd party clients serve the original base, Twitter might force them out of the game entirely. And that would be tragedy. (See Matthew Panzarino's post on TNW from last weekend on what it's like to be paranoid when they are out to get you.)
For now Twitter for iPhone remains an excellent Twitter app for new users, or for people who want quick access to metrics like who followed, retweeted, and favorited them, and what's trending on the platform in general.
And for them, Twitter 4.3 is a big update.

Expanded tweets, per-user notifications, and more now available in Twitter for iPhone
Tweetmarker would be enough for me since I use Pocket. One thing I think Twitter did wonderfully, and much better than the "power user" Tweetbot, is in-app notifications. Tweetbots are huge, obtrusive and highly annoying if you're getting a steady flow of notifications while the app is open -- especially so in the compose window where a good chunk of the compose window is blocked out. IMO, the status bar notifications are a great feature that one-ups many of the current 3rd party clients.
Agreed on the Tweetbot notification issue, it can be cumbersome. My only complaint with this recent update, and one that deserves some merit, is that with Twitter being a part of the native OS, it just seems that something such as Tweetmarker support would be expected from this app to sync among iOS devices.

Wednesday, September 18, 2013
The little boy was watching a movie for the third time that day. It was one of those long hazy days of summer with nothing better to do.
One of the characters was getting away from the men who were chasing him. The little boy sat on the edge of his seat wondering what would happen this time.
To his amazement the same thing that happened the first two times is exactly what happened again.
At his age he was too young to comprehend it all. With frustration in his voice he said to his dad, "Daddy, this is the third time I am seeing this movie and every time the horse steps into the hole and the man falls off. You would think that the horse knows that the hole is there by now."
Like the youngster who didn't understand the concept of a movie, when you watch certain people's lives it's as if it is a movie because they keep stepping into the same hole again and again. They keep making the same mistake.
They never seem to learn.
How about you? Do you learn from your mistakes or do you find yourself making the same mistakes again and again?
Learning from your mistakes is important if you are going to really grow up and get ahead.
Be big enough to admit mistakes when you make them. There are some people who will spend an enormous amount of time denying them, explaining them away, ignoring them and everything else they can do but admitting them.
Admitting your mistakes takes humility. It is often said that, "It takes a big man to say I am sorry." It is hard for some people to say "I am sorry" because when you say you are sorry often times it means you made a mistake.
To get beyond your mistakes you must also be smart enough to profit from them. In other words it is one thing to admit that you made a mistake, it's quite another thing to determine why.
If you cannot unravel why you made the mistake you made, it is quite likely you will make that mistake again.
Be strong enough to correct your mistakes.
As important as knowing why you made a mistake might be, it is just as important for you to be able to take corrective actions, otherwise you will remain the same. You would be like the man who went on vacation and bought a really expensive camera, took many great pictures but failed to develop any of them after he got home.
It takes emotional maturity among other things to make changes in your life. But it is worth it. If you keep on doing what you have always done you will keep getting the same results.

Cameron Guyton pitched seven strong innings of three-hit baseball to help Ashe snap a four-game losing streak last Friday with a 4-0 win over East Wilkes.
Ashe jumped ahead 2-0 in the second inning with a pair of runs scoring on Cardinal errors. Jonathan Barlow scored on an error by the first baseman while Joseph Lowder reached base on an error, moved to third on a wild pitch, and then scored on another error by the Cardinal second baseman.
The Huskies were able to add on two more in the sixth inning, with both runs once again scoring on errors. Barlow reached on an error to start the inning and Matthew Hamilton followed that up with a single to put two on with no outs.
Up next, Brandon Carpenter hit a grounder to third that was misplayed. Barlow scored and Hamilton advanced to third base. On the next play, Carpenter stole second base and Hamilton was able to come home after the second baseman mishandled the throw from the catcher to put Ashe up 4-0.
Guyton finished off the top of the seventh getting three quick outs to get his third victory of the season. The senior pitched a complete game and allowed just three hits with 12 strikeouts.
Ashe got five hits off of Cardinal pitching. Carson Knight was 2-2 at the plate with a walk, Alex Laws added a hit as did Lowder and Hamilton.
Alleghany 10, Ashe 1
On Tuesday, the Huskies were back on the diamond, but this time, the results were not what the team had hoped for. Austin Easter held Ashe to just one hit over seven innings and got 10 runs in support to get the victory.
The Trojans scored two in the first inning. Grant Caudill scored on a hit by Jake Hampton and Taylor Post added an RBI single.
Alleghany added three more in the third inning to take a 5-0 lead. Hampton had a sacrifice fly that scored Marco Adams, Matthew Huber scored on an Ashe error, and Zachary Pauley scored on a groundout to shortstop.
The Trojans plated two more in the fifth and three more in the seventh to jump ahead 10-0.
Ashe was able to avoid the shutout and the no-hitter in the bottom of the seventh inning. Joe Richardson walked and stole second base. Guyton drew a walk, then Richardson got to third base on a throwing error by Alleghany. Hamilton ripped an RBI single to center to bring in Richardson from third, the first and only Ashe hit of the night.
Easter struck out 13 Ashe hitters while allowing one hit and three walks.
Richardson pitched five innings and gave up seven runs with just three earned on eight hits. The junior recorded 10 strikeouts in the loss.
The Huskies are now 4-9 overall and 4-9 in the Mountain Valley Athletic Conference.

Hens have rich history passed through generationsWritten by Fred Altvater | | email@example.com
When the Toledo Mud Hens return to the friendly confines of Fifth Third Field for Opening Day April 4, Downtown Toledo will once again feel the warmth of a new baseball season and a renewed hope for the boys of summer.
Baseball is America's game and its leisurely pace is only a camouflage for the hectic activity always lurking just under the surface. The catcher constantly checks the batter's stance and measures the runner's lead at first base. The pitcher concentrates on the upcoming pitch and his motion to the plate. The infielders focus on what to do with the ball if it comes to them, while the outfielders prepare for a ball hit in their direction.
All of this quiet mental activity is shattered when the pitcher flings a 96 mph fastball and the batter puts the ball in play.
For the next 10 seconds everyone moves as if a ballet has broken out on the field. In the blink of an eye, the shortstop calculates the best route to intercept the ground ball and nimbly throws it to the first baseman to catch the streaking runner by the slimmest of margins.
Once again quiet and order are restored to the field and fans can discuss in astonishment the activity on the diamond and munch on a delicious ballpark hot dog or buttered popcorn.
Baseball has been passed down from generation to generation. Parents take their children and grandchildren to catch a baseball game and spend the day bonding in an enjoyable family activity.
It's been this way for years. I vividly remember my father taking me to the old Municipal Stadium in Cleveland for an Indians versus Yankees doubleheader. Even though it was one of the worst ballparks in baseball, it seemed like a shrine to me.
Rocky Colavito versus the mighty Yankees of 1961 was an epic battle for a 10-year-old boy to witness.
This scene has been repeated by countless families throughout the years and I have had the opportunity to take my children to many games. Now I even get to take my grandchildren.
Toledoans are lucky to have two major league teams within driving distance, but right here in our backyard is a minor league team with a storied history that provides quality baseball entertainment for a fraction of the price of the major leagues.
It's hard to believe this will be the 13th season for Fifth Third Field. It opened in 2002 and provides a comfortable venue to catch a leisurely baseball game on a balmy summer evening in Northwest Ohio.
The Mud Hens enter the 2014 season with a familiar face in the dugout. Manager Larry Parrish is returning for his third stint as skipper. He first led the team in 2003 and, in his second tour, brought the Governors' Cup to Toledo in 2005 and 2006.
There has been a professional baseball team in Toledo since 1883 and the current franchise can trace its heritage to 1896. Back then the team played at Bay View Park near the marshlands, which were inhabited by the American Coot, also known as the mud hen. The team was dubbed the Mud Hens and the name has stuck for more than 119 years.
Some great names have passed through Toledo on their way to notable careers in baseball. Hall of Famer Casey Stengel was a manager here and led the team to the American Association pennant in 1927.
One of the greatest all-round athletes of all time, Jim Thorpe, played for the Mud Hens in 1921. Brandon Inge, Kirby Puckett and Curtis Granderson are just a few of the other familiar names that spent time in a Mud Hens jersey.
Actor Jamie Farr, born and raised in Toledo, even wore Mud Hens apparel on the popular television series "M*A*S*H."
The team has been associated with the Western Division of the International League since 1965. Throughout the years, they have been affiliated with teams such as the Yankees, Phillies, Indians and Twins. Since 1987, the Mud Hens have been the Triple-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers.
Toledo's close proximity to Detroit allows the major league parent to easily shuttle players back and forth. The Tigers can add an injured player to the Mud Hens roster for a short rehab assignment or send down a player who is struggling for some additional training or a confidence boost.
Consequently, Mud Hens fans get a chance to see some of the biggest names in the game playing right here in Toledo.
Even though both Cleveland and Detroit are within short drives, the Mud Hens have thrived over the years. The cost for a family to attend a Tigers or Indians game can run upwards of $200, while a trip to Fifth Third Field will do a lot less damage to the family budget and is just as exciting.
There is something special about a parent bringing a son or daughter to the ballpark to watch a baseball game. I have very fond memories of attending my first game with my dad and have enjoyed taking my children and grandchildren to many games over the years.
It has been an unusually cold and difficult winter in Northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan. The return of the Mud Hens to Toledo signals the rebirth of spring and the hope for another exciting summer of baseball in Toledo.
Leave the smartphones, video games and other mobile devices at home and head to Fifth Third Field. Grab a hot dog and a cold drink at the park. Maybe you can reconnect with your family, just like your dad did.

Local play hits on tough topic
HUNTINGTON -- When Mary Smirl overheard the kids in her acting summer camp class talking about bullying, the long-time theater mom knew First Stage Theatre Company couldn't be a bystander.
She knew they needed to take action from the stage.
With a cast of some two dozen mostly middle- and high-school-aged students and four adults, regional children's theater company First Stage is performing "The Bully Plays," a series of 24 short plays exploring bullying and cyber-bullying.
First Stage will perform school shows on Wednesday and Thursday, and will then offer public performances at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22, as well as 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23 at the Jeslyn Performing Arts Center, 1030 4th Ave., Huntington.
Tickets are $10 and $8 for children (12 and under). Group rates are available.
Smirl is one of three directors for "The Bully Plays." Her daughter, Sydnee Smirl McElroy, and Cindy Westbrook are also directing this Dramatic Publishing series of vignettes about the dangers of bullying. First Stage theater vet Levi Kelley, who is now a freshman at Marshall, is assistant director.
While most of the First Stage fare such as "Seussical The Musical" comes laced with plenty of positive social messages, "The Bully Plays" hits the message first with fast-paced, and even sometimes funny, vignettes (written by 20 different playwrights) getting at the heart of bullying from all angles and the point of views -- the bully, the victim and the oft-forgot bystanders.
"Kids have a hard time these days, and I think for me having all of my kids in theater I had noticed not just a subtle change," Smirl said. "It really has to do with technology. Kids really don't know how to communicate, and it is taking something that used to be the school bullying, backstabbing and gossip and taking it to new levels. Kids are hurting each other, and they are being hurt."
Luke Hagley, an 18-year-old senior at Huntington High School, is in nine of the 24 plays.
Playing so many different roles lets you see and feel bullying from the inside out, he said.
"The characters run the gamut from the victims to the bully, so you get a clear view of each side," Hagley said. "That really helps get the message across more accurately."
Hagley said acting in "The Bully Plays" has made him want to be more diligent in speaking out against bullying.
"I think more than anything, it has made me even more passionate for speaking out about bullying in my daily life and trying to fight it," Hagley said, "and I think the audience will be moved. They may not have been victims or bullies, but most of them have been bystanders."
For the four adults in the play, seeing so many slice of life shades of bullying has been eye opening as well.
Getting ready for Sunday afternoon rehearsal, local attorney Chad Lovejoy was surrounded by the teens wearing their "Be The Change" long-sleeve T-shirts and studying their lines.
Lovejoy said no matter how short, every skit gives you something new and deeper to ponder about bullying, and as a collective have made the adults, including Jen Williams who is in the plays with her daughter Ayla, think broader about bullying practices that can seem epidemic in this modern American life.
In one skit, Lovejoy plays a heartless, hard-driving boss who verbally skewers then fires a salesman, who then verbally skewers his son and daughter, who verbally assaults an overweight girl on the school bus.
"These are all done with middle school and high school students, and that's such a different dynamic because these are the kids who are living it, and we are meeting them in their world," Lovejoy said. "... While being in plays is a lot of fun, this could really make changes in someone's life."
While "The Bully Plays" tackles the topical contemporary subject and ends with a big flash mob style dance, the sparsely set plays do so in a variety of clever settings, including three dinosaurs at a museum surprise three bickering kids on a school outing, a boy confronting a beast in ancient Greece, a medieval king who comes to grips with his ill treatment of a court jester and a botched chemistry experiment creates a horde of homophobic teenage zombie bullies.
Smirl said they do not shy away from the subject matter like sexting and the sometimes tragic end of being bullied. In fact, the Smirl's seventh-grade daughter, Rileigh, plays a girl bullied to the point she commits suicide.
South Point High School student Andrew Edwards, a 16-year-old who has been doing First Stage productions since he was in fifth grade, said he feels like First Stage is needed because it is a place where you feel like you can talk about anything and tackle tough subjects head on.
"You can be on the soccer team, and you get along with those guys, but you don't talk about this stuff," Edwards said. "Here, this is what's going on, and you feel like you can talk about it, and so you kind of think of this more like a family, and there is that kind of closeness."
Whether one of the short plays is tackling homophobia or physical violence, Smirl said this open dialogue between First Stage and the community hopes to create awareness of the many sides of bullying as well as a greater sense that everyone needs to try a little daily kindness.
"After being aware of the statistics of bullying, I think it needs to go beyond asking our kids 'Did you do OK in school today?' " Smirl said. "We need to stop and say 'Is everybody doing OK? Did everybody have a good day at school today?' We need kids and parents to think more universal and ask our kids 'Was anybody sitting by themselves at lunch today? Was anybody really sad? And what did you do about it?' There has to be an education about it."

I am a survivor of pre-e 3x. My pre-e seemed to get worse with each pregnancy. My last required me to be transported to **** via ambulance. It has bothered me ever since because my dr. seemed to not really care or be concerned about my condition. I delivered at 34 weeks and the baby suffered weight loss in utero. She was born 3# 12 oz. She is since small for her age and experiences a few developmental delays and other small medical problems. She has decreased hearing and other ear problems. One thing has bothered me immensely and I have never gotten any direct answers and wondered if someone here might have some answers.
During my pregnancy, I was put on bedrest about 24 weeks. Modified bedrest and strict bedrest at 30 weeks. I had 3+ protein at 28 weeks and ketones in my urine. At 32 weeks I was told (rather nanchalantly) that I had bilirubins in my urine. My 24 hour urine catch produced less than 2 cups of urine. I was told not to be concerned and to be on as much bedrest as being a stay at home mom to a 10 month old would allow. At 34 weeks I went into the hospital with severe headaches and blackouts. My BP was 190/120. I was not producing urine. After 3 IV bags I could only urinate less than a tablespoon. I could not bend my fingers. In the morning I was transferred to **** where they broke my water at 7:30pm. I received an epidural and less than a half hour later my bp was 40/20 and I had blacked out. My husband was in the room and said they brought in the crash cart and had to give me epinephrine 3x. I almost died from the epidural. On the ambulance ride up there I asked the nurse what it meant to have bilirubins in my urine. She seemed rather shocked and said that I was really sick. My question is this...how sick is really sick? I have researched a little online (not alot out there) and am under the impression my kidneys were not functioning and that my liver perhaps was beginning to do the same. Is this correct?
I switched from that dr. because when I finally got my daughter transferred back to my home hospital for growth at 1 week, he looked at me and said "I was just waiting for something bad like that to happen to you." I don't feel I received the best medical care I should have and It has bothered me ever since.
I have been told that I need to speak to a lawyer, but am not sure if there was anything done wrong or if I am just over reacting. Any thoughts?

It's difficult to imagine what was going through Jack Lynes' mind as he stood in the woods of Berkeley County in front of six of his ancestors' tombstones dating back centuries.
Softened sunlight beamed through trees onto the pale gravestones. Lynes said the light was exceptionally good on this warm winter day, allowing the words inscribed in the tombstones to be easily read.
Lynes is among a dedicated group working to preserve what's left of the cemetery, the St. James Goose Creek Chapel of Ease, and possibly a fort off Old U.S.-52 between Goose Creek and Moncks Corner in the Strawberry community.
The cross-shaped church was built in the 1700s. All that remains today is the brick foundation and numerous tombstones.
The church was a branch of the St. James Goose Creek Parish (off modern day Foster Creek Road) built so residents would not need to travel as far, hence the "chapel of ease."
Descendants and local historians have been doing their part to protect the site from being destroyed. Coleman Dangerfield, Lynes' cousin, once stopped a bulldozer from clearing a path in the middle of the cemetery.
The St. James Chapel of Ease Historical Site committee and the S.C. Ports Authority recently bought the 22-acre site for $104,000. The purchase ensures the land is protected permanently.
The purchase was made as part of the Ports Authority's $12-million mitigation program for a new quay terminal on the former Charleston Navy Base. The mitigation purchases go toward protecting wetlands and historically significant properties. The Chapel of Ease land contains 16 acres of wetlands.
Members of the Chapel of Ease committee have been working on preserving the site for six years, but the property was on two separate tracts of land that were in trusts and off limits.
"This is a big deal," Lynes said. "This land has been in a chain of title since 1712. It will be protected from now on.
"It will never be lost again."
Lynes drove from his home in Aiken for the guided tour of the grounds, led by Goose Creek Mayor Michael Heitzler, the Chapel of Ease committee chair. The committee held a meeting in the woods before the tour.
After the meeting Lynes kneeled down to photograph the tombstones of his ancestors: The Rev. Samuel Lynes, Samuel Lynes' son, Lizzie Lynes, Elizabeth Lynes, Sarah Lynes and George Lynes. Some of the tombstones have disintegrated over time, making it difficult to know everyone who is buried on the site.
Heitzler knows the history of the site well, which is documented in his book "George Chicken: Carolina Man of the Ages."
Some believe the body of local Indian trader Col. George Chicken is buried somewhere on the site, although after two archeological digs no concrete evidence has been found, according to Charla Springer, vice chair of the committee.
The location was a battleground during the Yemassee War in 1715.
Early area settlers made profits selling deerskins and later produced inland rice after building dikes to trap and raise water with gates, Heitzler said. There was an Indian path nearby.
During a 1715 battle Chicken defeated Indians who attacked him. Chicken built a fort on the site, Hetizler said.
There were no more Anglicans during the Revolutionary War, around which time the original chapel was burned down.
"The Baptists came in right after the Revolutionary War and built a neat little wooden church," Hetizler said. "They brought beautiful hymns to the wilderness."
Bethlehem Baptist Church was built on the grounds but in the 1880s was moved to its final destination, four and a half miles away near the Strawberry railroad station. Heitzler said whites and slaves both worshipped at the church until emancipation, when Strawberry became a black community.

Up to 100 contractors' jobs at risk as project work halted
Last updated at 12:14, Thursday, 12 April 2012
UP to a hundred contractors are at risk of losing their jobs as work has suddenly come to a stop on a major Sellafield project to help reduce high hazards on the site.
Construction has halted temporarily on building a silos encapsulation plant because an urgent engineering review has to be carried out.
But it means that the construction workers may have to be laid off while it takes place.
A Sellafield spokesman told The Whitehaven News yesterday: "We are aware that our decision is likely to have an impact on the number of contracting staff working on the project and the main sub-contractor (Vinci) has today taken steps to inform its workforce that redundancies are likely.
"Although issues such as these are common in contracting work, it is always regrettable when jobs are at risk. We will be working closely with Vinci and Nuvia over the coming days and weeks to establish how our decision will impact their workforce but our initial understanding is that there may be up to 100 people involved."
Explaining the reason for the expected lay-offs, the spokesman added: "We are currently undertaking an engineering review of a complex project which is at an important point in its development to ensure we proceed into the next stage on a strong basis.
"As part of this review, construction work on the project has been temporarily suspended while we focus our attention on design engineering work.
"This decision has not been taken lightly, it is entirely the responsibility of Sellafield Ltd and has been made to ensure we focus our resources on essential engineering work on the project. We have a duty to ensure we provide value for money for the taxpayer.
"It is in no way a reflection on the performance of the contractors who have been working hard to accelerate the site based work on the project over recent months." The new silos (SD) will support decommissioning work by processing waste retrieved from the Magnox swarf storage silos.
It is regarded as one of the high hazard decommissioning projects on the site.
Threatened industrial action by more than a hundred Mitie contract staff employed on the site has been called off pending more talks with the GMB union.
The action over a pay dispute was due to start last night (Wednesday) with an overtime ban followed by successive Monday strikes.

Have your say
These contractors where promised seven years work by vinci construction,many of them leaving jobs for the promise of long term work,these contractors have been treated like battery hens discarded on to the scrapheap,its an absolute disgrase that sellafiel play with peoples lives in this very distastfull manner.SHOCKING.
It appears the NDA are no more efficient than the late unlamented BNFL. Together with the Evaporator, 'back-of-fag-packet' estimates, all very de ja vu!

The June 3 meeting was called to order and led by Mayor Pro Tem Loretta Lipsey in the absence of Mayor Gus Wilson.
The agenda contained just two items under new business, and a third was added at the beginning of the meeting. Council members voted unanimously to approve the two budget resolutions.
The first concerned a refund from Verizon Wireless that was put back into the Gray Police Department budget, and the second was an adjustment to the 2012 budget. Lipsey said the city's auditor recommended the second resolution.
She explained that the next item was a resolution to adopt a complaint form needed, according to Gray's code, for the demolition of a house because it is unsafe and/or unfit for human habitation or commercial use.

Multiple Sclerosis and Vision Problems
In this article
Vision problems are relatively common in people with multiple sclerosis (MS); however, rarely do these problems result in total blindness.
What Type of Vision Problems Are Linked to Multiple Sclerosis?
Optic neuritis is the inflammation of the optic nerve, the nerve that transmits light and visual images to the brain, and is responsible for vision.
According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, 55% of people with MS will have an episode of optic neuritis. Frequently, it's the first symptom of the disease. Although having optic neuritis is very suggestive of MS, it does not mean that a person has or will get MS.
The symptoms of optic neuritis are the acute onset of any of the following:
It's rare that both eyes are affected simultaneously. And pain is rare. Loss of vision tends to worsen over the course of a few days before getting better. This usually takes about four to 12 weeks. Treatment may include intravenous and/or oral steroids to control the inflammation.
Double vision occurs when the pair of muscles that control a particular eye movement are not coordinated due to weakness in one or more of the muscles. Although annoying, double vision usually resolves on its own without medical treatment.
Uncontrolled Eye Movements
Uncontrolled horizontal or vertical eye movements, called nystagmus, is another common symptom of MS. Nystagmus may be mild or it may be severe enough to impair vision. Some drugs and special prisms have been reported to be successful in treating the visual deficits caused by nystagmus.
Temporary Blindness
Temporary blindness in one eye may occur at the time of an acute exacerbation of MS. An exacerbation -- also known as a flare -- is a sudden worsening of a MS symptom or symptoms, or the appearance of new symptoms, which lasts at least 24 hours and is separated from a previous exacerbation by at least one month.
Temporary blindness is most often due to optic neuritis.

Update on investigation into allegations of misconduct
reported by: CCP Arkanon | 2007.05.27 18:03:15
We are proceeding with our investigations into the four allegations brought to our attention - alleged misconduct on the part of two developers in separate incidents, removal of a volunteer from the program and bias within the event team concerning an event arc, the last an incident which has already been investigated in the past.
While we are not able to address all four incidents in this announcement, I would like to take the opportunity to report the results of one investigation, CCP Sharkbait joining a player corporation.
In the past, CCP Sharkbait has joined player corporations when CCP has been petitioned with issues and specific case bug reports. In these rare instances, he has joined the corporation, verified information not available through the server interface and removed himself from the corporation. His departure from the corporation leaves an eve-mail in the CEO's inbox, thus showing his presence in the corporation for a short time.
This instance was brought about as the result of a player-submitted petition. Sharkbait joined the corporation to investigate and resolve an issue reported by a member of the corporation in question. While the method may be viewed as unorthodox, the information gained is vital to the continued QA effort and enjoyment of EVE by the corporation in question. Our investigation shows Sharkbait was not involved in any malicious or nefarious actions requiring administrative action.
We will continue to post updates on the status of the other investigation when information is available. We will also announce our findings when they have been completed.
CCP Arkanon
UPDATE: For further clarification, the petition (Petition #631627) which prompted CCP Sharkbait to join the corporation was created on the 6th of May. Note that our policies prohibit us from releasing details of the petition, as well as who filed it. After GMs were unable to fix the issue, an email was sent out asking for developer help. CCP Sharkbait reported the matter as resolved the same day, on the 9th of May.

interesting wonder what exactly are the other 3 parts to the scandal?
as a former POS operator if a tower is owned by player in actuality of the game the corp owns it and ot get access the gm would need access (maybe -not sure) and if the bug involved fuel the fuel is low warning evemails only go to ceo/directors
and if the player didnt tell his leadership about the petition they might not know of it-tho you would think they would ask the player
HOWEVER the GM err'ed by not sending out a corp evemail fyi'ing his activity as any1 in certain leadership roles would see his audit trail like the gm XX just joined our corp

Developers of MMORPGS nerf us today so they can sell us tommorow what we had yesterday.

I think the biggest one is removing the volunteer: BOD (band of developers) being able to contact a GM thru MSN to ban this volunteer. It shows that BOD is in pretty much constant contact of Dev's (not just GM's), and that what they want they pretty much get. On top of this is the fact that this volunteer is so upset he admits to knowing other incidents that showed CCP corruption, but he kept his mouth shut because he was addicted, and was not paying to play.
I feel vindicated and BOB will forever be called BOD from me, as their corruption with the Dev's is legendary.

"The one you call messiah is a lie"--- Gary Numan
Convenient for CCP that they are so serious about sticking to their policy of not identifying the petitioner, actually it's more hypocritical in my opinion. Also strange how the ISD guy will name names specific events and people who witnessed it but CCP don't have squat except "We can't tell you our witness because we stick to rules and regulations around here".
They're doing further investigation means thet they're trying to hammer together a cover story, but since all those names are out and there are witnesses they'll have to make some kind of minimal admission and find a sacrifical lamb. Those DEVs at CCP are so low I wouldn't p*** on one if he was burning alive and begging for help.

Good!, all you whiners cancel. Eve is a good game and the less whiners we have the better!
Everyone of those issues in that letter has falsified information added by the goons.
The only issue here is the goons harrassment of the rest of the playerbase. CCP should act and ban the lot of them.
Oh why is it odd that CCP never mentions names other than the developers. Because it legally cannot. You ever see another MMO do that, no. The entire industry knows that is a no no. Pretty obvious fact if you now anything about the industry.

np, we're cancelling or have already cancelled. By the thousands.
This game doesn't have that many subscribers that it can take hits like this and do well.
Not to mention the permanent black eye that CCP is getting involving it's lack of ethics. Word of mouth is killing them in forums everywhere.
The fanboi's will try to laugh this one off, but beleive me - the DEV's are sweating right now. They've screwed up, and they know it.

The biggest point in all this is not the current idiocy, not the one before that, nor the one before THAT,
but the mere fact that DEVS in the single server game have long standing and good relations/friendships and even charracters in a huge game shaking Alliance.
End of story.

Wrong, no one cares if you leave. EVE is on steady ground and as much as you'd like to think leaving will hurt them it won't. You can try to argue otherwise but see what you think when EVE is still going 5+ years from now. When the game goes under because of all you whiners leaving then feel free to rub it in my face.

Don''t mistake silence for stupidity....
CCP is at a crucial time, many other games are coming out with pvp whether its fantasy or scifi, and they cannot take the hits they have been taking lately and survive. I do believe they will be around for quite awhile, but if they don't handle the rampant dev involvement into player affairs then they will only be a shadow of what they could do and no matter what they try, the blackmark will always be there. I have been tempted many times to come back, but everytime I start to another scandal comes to light and I back away like they have the plague.
I know alot of the scandals would never influence my play, but it is the fact that it is going on and that the ones benefiting it are the ones ruling the game and making the economy what they want it to be. You can't enjoy a game knowing that you will NEVER be able to get anywhere on your own or with a small group of friends due to the cheating going on.

Word of mouth is huge in the gaming community, and people have been hearing this sort of assinineness for a while now.
CCP = "oh yeah, that space game where the DEVS cheat"
Just give it a little while, and another one will pop up, etc etc add nauseaum.
Oh and in a Semi-related matter: The Goons, if they truly were pissed, need to cancell all their accounts, just like I did.
ALL of them, put their money where their mouth is, so to speak.

Wicked Witch of Single Player Games!
Den, it's because they love the game. They just want the GMs to stay out of it. It's no fun when your opponent created the game, therefore you stand no chance to win (no matter how many ships you have, or how well coordinated and etc).
Keep the GM's out of the game, institute a third party Q/A system to resolve in-game issues, and hire a better HR department head. And other suggestions any common sense person would provide, geez, please lets not damn the product or the designers.

Go ahead say anyone at all that questions anything must be a goon, and the game won't be doing as well. There won't be as much money to pay the devs, to work on new expansions etc. With many new Sci-Fi games coming out Eve is no longer the only choice and sure enough keep up your elitist arrogance and it won't be much of any choice.
Strange how many people complain of not enough players in Eve to begin with that players would actually try and drive people away form playing or even trying the game

So far, I am less than impressed with the investigation, but we'll see what happens. I can understand them legally not being allowed to reveal certain elements, but the generalised, completely empty news on Sharkbait's joining and making himself director is just too weak. What was he doing? Why did he need to be made director? Why was the leadership not informed of this?

The key word here being, of course, "another". You see, it has happened before and CCP has admitted t20's screw up (and done nothing to him), is it so difficult to believe that it would happen again?

Is this the line to pick up your CCP MSN contact? I got two accounts, does that meen I get a third contact for free, like a buy 2 get 3 kinda deal?
We pay the same fee as Dianabolic and the rest, yet, it seems more and more unlikely that we are getting the same product. Where is my lil red bathphone to the CCP cave?! I got bugged GSC cans and cant be arsed to wait two weeks for a petition to go through. BoB propaganda machine is out full spin, Kieron has put on his raincoat, so Im guessing the safest thing to do right now is to take cover, unless you too want to get swept away in the flood of white cover paint that is CCP internal affairs. Player characters and accounts have been known to dissapear befor due to discussing CCP's shady dealings.

You are in the wrong forum, this isn't Vanguard's forum. EVE isn't a buggy and unfinished mess. Like I said, when you see the game succeeding years from now that'll be my proof. People who think they'll ruin the game by leaving because it NEEDs them, they are just silly. EVE is as busy as ever even after the allegations.

However EVE do need it's playerbase... right now EVE is the same as Cheaters game, I know from people I have spoken with that they now seriously consider quitting the game.
These where people who stayed at the first one earlier this year thinking ... well it does not affect me, well it still does not affect them but now they see the truth that CCP almost managed to whitewash earlier this year.
EVE have been blessed with a very faithful fanbase, this fanbase is breaking up as far as I can see.. that means EVE will end up with alot of younger playerbase, bigg alliances need their older playerbase, or players that stick to the game for longer than 3 months (average playtime for MMORPG players).

It doesn't need more players to grow and according to you can afford to lose alot. I assume this would of course effect the Devs pay (if only in raises) and the likelyhood / speed of future expansions or any of the positive things from having a bigger player base.
Humm somehow doesn't sound like a sound plan to me. As I stated sounds just like what the VG boys said "We don't need you players the game will do just fine" Though I agree with you for different reasons. No sweat off my brow I have 2 accounts and all of a month invested. I can drop the game and move on to any number of games, I like EVE but I don't NEEDs EVE . So yes we'll see what happens and how old Eve will be doing in 5 years. Will it be around? I'd say yes just like Horizons, Shadowbane, and of course VG itself.

Got them in 2010 for regular sneakers to wear with jeans and to school, but ended up wearing them to go hiking, shopping, running, camping, you name it, I probably did it in these shoes.

Misplaced my pair while traveling (some housekeeper probably threw out my trust sambas sob*) but it's okay because I get to start all over again wih new ones!

STAFF WRITER | January 26,2013BENNINGTON A 15-year-old high school student is facing a felony charge of sexual assault and facing three years to life in prison after police said he sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl last year.
Adelbert G. Capen, 15, of Bennington, pleaded innocent to the charge in Bennington criminal court Thursday. He was released without bail but ordered not to be alone with females younger than 18.
In an affidavit, Detective Trooper Scott Dunlap of the Vermont State Police said he was contacted by a supervisor with the Vermont Department for Children and Families. The parents of a 14-year-old girl said they had learned she had sex with a boy in the summer of 2012 through the girls postings on a social network website.
A friend to whom the girl reported the sexual contact told the girl she believed it was rape because the girl had told Capen no.
The girl was interviewed by Dunlap and Kyle Hoover, an investigator with the Department for Children and Families, on Dec. 6.
She told the investigators she and Capen had sexual contact three or four times consensually, but she said the first time they had sex, she had told him to stop at least twice. According to the girl, she had to push Capen away to stop the sexual contact.
The girl told Dunlap that she didnt think what happened was bad until she told friends about it who told her that she had been raped. She said she understood that to mean this guy did something to her that she did not want to do, but he did it anyway.
Dunlap and Hoover interviewed Capen on Jan. 9 at his home with his mother and family friends present.
According to the affidavit, Capen admitted he had sexual contact with the girl and continued even after she said no at least twice.
Dunlap said Capen said he hadnt stopped because he was in the moment but later said if he could take that day back, then he would have.
The affidavit said both Capen and the girl were ninth-graders at Mount Anthony Union High School. Judge Cortland Corsones told Capen that even if he had contact with fellow students in a classroom, a teacher had to be present.
A competency and sanity evaluation of Capen was ordered by the court.

A man robbed a North Augusta bar Tuesday wearing no pants, a pair of boxers on his head and used a silver bamboo stick disguised as a gun before fleeing in the victims car, according to the Aiken County Sheriffs Office.
According to the report, the man also was wearing a blue long-sleeve T-shirt.
An employee was closing the Wagon Wheel bar on East Buena Vista Avenue around 11 p.m. when the man entered the bar, approached her at the register and demanded money, according to the report.
She told deputies the man was holding an object on his side trying to disguise it as a gun. He pushed her to the ground and took an unknown amount of money from the register before grabbing her by the hair and taking her into the bathroom, according to the report.
The woman reportedly locked herself in the bathroom until she heard the door alarm of the business ring. She then snuck out of the bathroom and hid behind the bar.
The man took the womans keys and fled in her vehicle, a green 1997 four-door Ford Explorer, according to the report.
The suspect is still at large.

Nobel Prize winner will be at Northshire Bookstore on FridayJune 27,2013Nobel laureate to speak at Northshire
MANCHESTER Vermonter and Nobel Peace Prize winner Jody Williams will be at the Northshire Bookstore on Friday at 7 p.m. to discuss her book, My Name Is Jody Williams: A Vermont Girls Winding Path to the Nobel Peace Prize.
Williams is the 10th woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize and third American woman to receive the honor. She was awarded the Nobel in 1997 for her work with the International Campaign in Ban Landmines.
In the book, Williams writes about her Catholic roots; learning how to stand up against injustice while defending her deaf brother, Stephen; transforming from a good girl to a hippie at the University of Vermont; and protesting the war in Vietnam. Williams began a life dedicated to global activism in 1981 when she advocated for the end of the U.S.-backed war in El Salvador.
In her memoir, Williams discusses her belief that an average woman, through perseverance, courage and imagination, can make something extraordinary happen.

Although I have not had the opportunity to pull anything with the Spyder yet I wanted to make sure it fit. I was pleasantly suprised it fell ring into the rails on my fifth wheel hitch. Another great suprise was it already had the safety chain loops installed also. Very satisified with the equipment. This is the third truck I have outfitted with accessories from AA, I have order everything mud flaps, interior mats, bed liners, bed top covers, cargo holders, front receiver hitches, bike racks, window vents, and others, I have never had to return anything and the service and shipping has been great.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's tennis team extended its season-opening winning streak to three matches without a loss today with a 7-0 victory over Evansville.
Chattanooga jumped into the lead early with a clean sweep of the doubles for the third straight outing.
"I thought we came out really focused," head coach Jeff Clark said. "We played well in doubles at every position. Tremendous focus at the outset of doubles, and we played well, that's a good combination."
Sophomore Kelsey Coots and senior Alexa Flynn struck first with a 6-1 victory over Brguljan and Coastales at No. 2. Chattanooga clinched the point when the No. 3 team of freshman Rachele Gazzola and junior Claire Mulyadi defeated Evansville's Milovic and Moreno 6-2.
Chattanooga remained perfect in singles action, earning three quick points from sophomore Kayla Jones, Flynn, and junior Kaylene Chadwell. Those four points clinched the team win for the Mocs.
"In singles we got up in all of the first sets and any chance they might have had to gain momentum back we took it away from them," Clark said. "It was nice to feel like we were in control the whole way."
UTC will puts its 3-0 start to the test next weekend with a pair of matches in Memphis. The Mocs face the Tigers on Friday, Feb. 8, at 7:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) and Murray State on Saturday, Feb. 8, at 2:00 p.m. The next home match is set for Thursday, Feb. 20 when the Mocs host Mercer at 2:00 p.m.

NEW YORK -- Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel has won the Heisman Trophy, becoming the first freshman to win college football's most prized individual award.
The redshirt freshman beat out Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o and Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein.
A few days after turning 20, Manziel became the most inexperienced player to win the Heisman. Adrian Peterson had come closest as a freshman, finishing second to Southern California quarterback Matt Leinart in 2004.
Manziel is the second player from Texas A&M to win the Heisman, and first since John David Crow 1957.
Manziel broke 2010 Heisman winner Cam Netwon's Southeastern Conference record with 4,600 total yards this season, led the Aggies to a 10-2 in their first SEC season and orchestrated an upset at No. 1 Alabama in November that stamped him as legit.
