Warren Christopher Clark, an American teacher who joined Daesh* via Turkey in the spring of 2015 said that witnessing people being beheaded didn't strike a raw nerve in him since according to him, "they like to execute people in the US too," at least in Texas, where he lived before travelling to Syria.
The 34 year-old Clark told NBC News in an interview conducted in a prison in northern Syria, where he was placed after being captured by Kurds, that he saw "some people being executed publicly, some crucifixions".
"That's just normal life here," Clark noted. He confirmed he had seen respective videos, adding that he "sees no difference" in beheadings in Syria and executions in his native state of Texas. "They might do it off camera, but it's the same", he asserted.
Having graduated from Houston University, he worked for some time as a substitute teacher in the nearby city of Sugar Land, before converting to Islam and making up his mind to travel to Syria out of curiosity, as he put it, to "see exactly what the group was about, and what they were doing." He said he never fought for Daesh, who detained him several times, but was later let go for refusing to use arms.
He admitted offering to teach English in the area, which goes in line with last year's NBC report on Clark's CV with a cover letter, found at a house in Iraq. In the document, later studied by the Programme on Extremism at George Washington University, the Texan under the alias Abu Muhammad al-Ameriki expressed willingness to work as an English teacher at Mosul University and provided his formal credentials to be accepted for the position.
Despite never being on the frontline, he couldn't escape the war, perpetually having to hide from airstrikes and bombings, and mostly using a mosque as a shelter. When asked how he had sustained injuries (he walked using crutches at the time of the interview,) he insisted he had been wounded "in a personal fight".
Clark was detained around the time a group of other international Daesh fighters were taken into Kurdish custody, during the campaign to liberate the last Daesh strongholds in northern Syria, the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces said in a statement.
Last year, the US Programme on Extremism found that apart from thousands of Europeans, as many as 64 Americans had travelled to Iraq and Syria to fight alongside Daesh since 2011.
The US-led coalition of more than 70 countries is conducting military operations against Daesh in Syria and Iraq. Meanwhile, the coalition's moves in Syria have not been authorised by the government of President Bashar al-Assad nor by the UN Security Council, however, both are also focused on countering terrorism.
In a very recent development, US President Donald Trump announced an intention to pull American forces out of Syria, thereby prompting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to postpone an earlier floated military campaign against Syrian Kurds. Ankara views the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) as an affiliate of the PKK, considered by the Turks to be a terrorist group behind the 2016 failed coup attempt.
On January Erdogan, speaking to the country's parliament, said that Trump had reassured him that US troops will be withdrawing from Syria. He also added that Turkey will create a 32-kilometre safe zone, earlier proposed by the US, with the possibility of further extending it.

Map depicting the Kealkil area and its way marked walks:
Directions and detailed route maps
Choose your walk from the following trails:
About Carriganass
These walks were put in place with the active encouragement and support of the committee of the Sheeps Head Way with the aim of establishing a walking link between the Sheeps Head Way and the Beara Way.
Two of the walks are loop walks to the north of Carriganass castle. Follow the castle road along the river bank. After a few minutes you will cross a bridge and at the junction beyond the bridge you will have a choice between the two interlinked walks-both leading to the Beara Way.
The third walk is a linear route that goes from the castle to the Stone Circle south of the village. This is a significant archaeological site not only with a stone circle but also a radial stone cairn and a pair of standing stones. The site offers spectacular views with Bantry Bay to the west, Cnoc Baoi to the north and the Sheha Hills to the east.
The word Carriganass in Gaelic means the Rock of the Waterfall and this accurately describes the splendid setting of the most enduring castle of the O'Sullivan Beare Chieftains. Perched elegantly on an outcrop of rock on the north bank of the Ouvane River, this noble monument to Gaelic Ireland stands tall against a picturesque backdrop of the Caha Mountains with Cnoc Baoi (the highest peak in Co. Cork), the Sugar Loaf, and Hungry Hill in the distant skyline. The cascading waterfall underneath with naturally sculptured rock adds to the grandeur of the location. The history of the castle records the fortunes of the O'Sullivan Beare Chieftains, traces the decline of the old Gaelic Aristocracy and was directly influenced by the struggle for supremacy between England and Spain in the 16th century. Carriganass Castle has strong links with the Desmond Rebellion, the Battle of Kinsale, and the Flight of the Earls. The castle was built in 1540 by the O'Sullivan Beare Chieftain, Dermot of the Powder so called because he blew himself up with gunpowder in 1549.
The most famous occupant of Carriganass was Donal Cam O'Sullivan Beare who commanded the Munster forces on the Spanish side at the Battle of Kinsale in 1601. According to local folklore, his wife Aoife was murdered at Gougane Barra by St. Leger, an English settler and military commander. The story of the vengeance of Donal Cam is the subject on an epic poem, "The Revenge of Donal Cam". St. Leger met his death in the rocky torrents of the Ouvane River having been thrown from the tower of Carriganass by Donal Cam who got access to the captured castle disguised as a monk.

Vietnam probes outrageous fraud in national high school exam
The main perpetrator of a high school exam fraud in northern Vietnam has been identified and and a major investigation launched, inspectors say.
The fraud, which has shocked the nation, was centered in the northern province of Ha Giang, where the results of at least 114 candidates were illegally changed to increase scores in individual subjects by as much as 90 percent and that of cumulative scores by more than 17 percent.
Preliminary investigations have found that over 330 test sheets on eight subjects were heavily altered.
Vietnam's national high school graduation exam is considered to be a make-or-break event for the students, since it determines if they can enter a good university or not.
The national exam requires candidates to undertake mandatory exams in Math, Literature and Foreign Language, while making a choice between Natural Sciences (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) and Social Sciences (History, Geography and Ethics).
This year, the examination lasted for three days, from June 25 to June 27.

On July 11, the Ministry of Education and Training released the official test results of all candidates nationwide.
In Ha Giang Province, where over 5,400 candidates took part in the examination, the results were unusually good.
Among the 11 candidates with the highest total scores in the nation, three were from Ha Giang. The province also had 65 candidates with scores higher than 9 in Physics on a scale of 10, or 6.7 percent of all students, a figure much higher than in big cities like Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, which typically record higher scores than other cities and provinces.
In HCMC, the number of candidates with scores higher than 9 in Physics was 39, which is just 0.09 percent of all candidates in the city.
When the public started questioning the results, the education ministry sent a team of inspectors to the province last Saturday. The next day, the team decided to re-grade all multiple-choice test sheets belonging to candidates who took exams in Ha Giang Province.
What did they find? The results of 102 Math, 85 Physics, 56 Chemistry, 8 Biology, 9 History, 3 Geography, three Ethics and 52 English test sheets had been heavily altered.
The kingpin
Further investigations found Vu Trong Luong, Deputy Head of Ha Giang's Education Department's Testing and Quality Assurance unit, to be the main perpetrator.
Luong has been in charge of operating scanning machines for several national high school graduation examinations.
"Investigations have found several text messages in Luong's mobile phone that contained candidates' identification numbers," said Nguyen Cao Khuong, an official from the Ministry of Public Security.
On receiving the candidates' identification numbers, Luong uploaded those numbers and scanned each candidate's test sheets into a computer, Khuong said.
On June 27, when the education ministry released the official test answers for all subjects, Luong downloaded those answers, processed them in Microsoft Excel, then overwrote them on the candidates' scanned answer sheets that were already saved on the computer, he explained.
The inspectors also found footage of Luong moving sealed boxes of physical test sheets from their designated secured area to another room. It is reported that within three hours, Luong had unsealed the box, taken out the test sheets and changed their answers.
Khuong said it would have been very difficult for Luong to pull off such a feat in such a small time frame alone, although camera footage hasn't shown anyone else helping him.
"Even the inspection team from the education ministry took eight hours to double-check all the test sheets," he said.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc had asked the ministries of Public Security and Education to cooperate and get to the bottom of the scandal.
An investigation has been launched into the incident that has sparked outrage across the nation.
The education ministry on Wednesday also formed a team to inspect unusually high scores of students in the nearby Son La and Lang Son Provinces.

A: Usually when I get that error (warning: anecdotal), it's because I've missed the do keyword after an iterator, or a haml function that takes a block in a view.
I don't see anything wrong with the link_to line - can you post the source of the file that contains the error (and point out which line is line 23)?

A: It was a configuration issue. Created a new project, copied my files. Now its working.

Agrifood giant ADM to buy Wild Flavours for $3B
Deal is intended to provide geographic diversification and lower earnings volatility for ADM
July 7, 2014	by The Canadian Press
DECATUR, Ill.—Agribusiness giant Archer Daniels Midland Co. (ADM) will pay about $3 billion to buy the privately held Swiss company Wild Flavours, which supplies natural flavours and other ingredients to food and beverage makers.
The all-cash deal will total about $3.13 billion counting debt, or 2.3 billion euros.
ADM said July 7 that the acquisition will let it enter one of the "largest and fastest growing consumer trends in both developed and emerging markets." Already, ADM provides sweeteners and other ingredients for the beverage, meat and snack markets.
Natural and artificial flavours are listed as ingredients in a wide variety of packaged foods and drinks, although companies don't disclose exactly what they contain. Such flavours help make Coke taste like Coke and Cheetos taste like Cheetos. Some of the biggest players in the industry include Givaudan, Firmenich, International Flavors & Fragrances, and Symrise.
Wild Flavours, founded in 1931, has production sites in Europe, the U.S., Asia and South America. Its estimated revenue for this year is about $1.36 billion, or 1 billion euros.
Ann Duignan, an analyst with J.P. Morgan, noted that the deal is intended to provide geographic diversification and lower earnings volatility for Archer Daniels Midland, which also processes corn, soybeans and other crops to make everything from animal feed to ethanol.
Duignan noted that ADM's "foods and wellness" business accounts for about $1.5 billion of annual revenue and that management has said it wants to increase that to about $10 billion in the next decade. ADM's total revenue last year was nearly $90 billion.
Wild is the last name of company chairman and owner Dr. Hans-Peter Wild, whose father founded the business. ADM will pay the purchase price to the owner and funds tied to investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.
The deal is expected to close by the end of the year.

An Interview with Chris Gunderson: Are Militaries Lagging Their Non-State Enemies in Use of Internet?
The increasing number of cyber attacks on military networks and servers has raised the question of what the global defense community is doing to safeguard military systems and protect the larger global Internet. Ubiquity's editor interviewed Chris Gunderson, who served in the U.S. Navy from 1973 to 2004 and became an expert in "network centric" warfare, on this question and in particular on how military philosophy must change to adapt to the rise of information networks.
An Interview with David Alderson: In Search of the Real Network Science
David Alderson has become a leading advocate for formulating the foundations of network science so that its predictions can be applied to real networks. He is an assistant professor in the Operations Research Department at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif., where he conducts research with military officer-students on the operation, attack, and defense of network infrastructure systems. Ubiquity interviewed him to find out what is going on.
An Interview with Peter Huber: Why 99.9 Percent Is Not Good Enough
In the opening days of 2009, people are looking for the new President Obama to restore domestic and international confidence and help us find our way out of a dark recession. Electric power generation and distribution is a key part of a new direction. Can we produce enough of it to reduce our oil usage? Can electric cars become reliable and cover enough distance on a single charge? Can its availability be increased, especially since critical services in transportation, banking, computing and many other sectors can be shut down by power grid failures? In April 2000, Ubiquity Editor John Gehl spoke with energy expert Peter Huber about these issues. Huber's comments about the needs of the power grid were prophetic. We gladly bring them to you now in the hope that they will help you understand the power challenges ahead. --Peter Denning, Ubiquity Editor


After the loss of a loved one, it can be difficult to see how to ever go on. The grief journey may seem like a mountain that is too difficult to climb. These are some steps you can take that may help ease that journey.
Allow your grief. No step is more important than this. Appreciate, accept, and allow your grief as a natural response to your loss. Let yourself feel your pain. Suppressed grief doesn't go away. Grief is a mix of many uncomfortable feelings. You may feel sad, angry, or filled with remorse, regret, or longing. All these feelings are natural.
Express your grief. Empty out your feelings. Cry when you need to cry. Be angry when you feel angry. Don't suppress yourself or pretend to be stoic. The more you express your pain, the more you free yourself from it.
Be patient with yourself. Grief is a process that takes time. Moving forward is not necessarily quick and easy, but it is possible. Trust that you can and will cope with your loss. The day will come when you can remember your loved one without pain.
Keep busy. You cannot dwell on your sorrow or your loss every waking moment. In the first flush of grief, you may feel you cannot control the extent of your suffering. But, you can with friends, with activities, and a plan that forms a lifeline.
Keep a journal. This is a powerful method for expressing pain, as well as a means for having private, intimate time with yourself. Some feelings may be too hard to speak aloud, like anger or regret. Journal writing can serve as a release as well as a meaningful expression of yourself.
Exercise daily. Move your body. Walking, dancing, swimming, or whatever activity pleases you, can help you feel better. Through exercise, you build your physical strength, release tension, enliven yourself, and keep yourself well. Exercise releases endorphins that will lift your mood.
Be willing to change things. It is natural to wish to keep things the way they were when our loved one was with us. Still, that doesn't keep the person alive. Although loss is never easy to face, we need to remember we can go on with our lives. We need to take care of ourselves and our needs in the process.


The Naples Players and Naples Garage Door present the comedy Always a Bridesmaid in Tobye Studio Theatre March 27, 2019 and runs through April 20, 2019.
In this hilarious comedic romp, four friends have sworn to keep the promise they made on the night of their Senior Prom: to be in each other's weddings. More than thirty years later, they're determined to honor that vow...no matter what.
Directed by beloved Naples Players' veteran director, Dallas Dunnagan, the Always a Bridesmaid cast includes Jo Atkinson as Deedra Wingate, Pamela Austin as Monette Gentry, Rebecca Borchardt as Kari Ames-Bissette, Karen Ezrine as Sedalia Ellicott, Linda Mizeur as Charlie Collins, and Judy Scribner as Libby Ruth Ames.
"This is a play about friendship, sisterhood, and the promise these girlfriends made to one another as teens-and their lifelong bond as ever-lasting friends," shares director Dallas Dunnagan.
For those who have enjoyed decades-long friendships and pinky-swear promises, this heartwarming comedy is sure to delight. Written by the prolific and widely known trio of Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten, Always a Bridesmaid follows the lives and friendship of six very strong Southern women who are both determined and marvelously flawed as well as wonderfully funny, loyal, and loving. Four of them have been friends since seventh grade and, at some point, have promised each other to be bridesmaids at each of their weddings. Of course, their expectations at the time of the promise was that they would easily fulfill the promises by participating in four ceremonies. Now, decades later, there have been more trips to the altar than anyone expected; and we are about to witness Monette's latest. The fifth strong woman runs the Historic Laurelton Oaks, a wedding venue in Virginia that the four have become regulars at, and the sixth is the daughter of the only one who has been in a satisfying marriage all this time. She introduces each of the four scenes as she tipples her champagne just before her own first (and hopefully only) fling at marriage.
Always a Bridesmaid runs March 27 - April 20, 2019 in the Tobye Studio Theatre at The Naples Players at Sugden Theatre at 701 5th Avenue South in Naples. A "Girls Night Out" evening at the theatre is Saturday, April 20th with special treats for all the ladies in attendance. A Red Carpet Opening Night event begins at 6:30 p.m. on March 27, 2019 before opening night for theatre patrons. Tickets are $40 and are available for purchase online at www.NaplesPlayers.org or by contacting the Box Office at (239) 263-7990.

Letters to Juliet: Celebrating Shakespeares Greatest Heroine, the Magical City of Verona, and the Power of Love by Lise Friedman
The enduring legend of Shakespeare�s pair of star-crossed lovers draws millions of visitors to Verona, Italy, each year. But that is just part of the story. Every day, letters, frequently addressed simply, �Juliet, Verona,� arrive in the city. They come by the truckload, in almost every language imaginable, written by romantics seeking Juliet�s counsel. Most of the missives talk of love, of course �love found and love lost, love sought and love remembered. And, amazingly, not one letter goes unanswered.
Letters to Juliet tells the story of these letters and the volunteers who have been writing responses for more than seven decades �volunteers who first acted privately, and who are now sanctioned by the city of Verona as part of the Juliet Club . Featuring more than seventy-five heartfelt letters,�this poetic book retraces the history behind Shakespeare�s tale and tours the monuments that have fueled the worlds enchantment with Juliet and her Romeo.

To purchase this album on Amazon. In the liner notes to his original recording of The Juliet Letters, Elvis Costello wrote that he had come across a newspaper article detailing the exploits of an unknown Veronese professor who had assumed the responsibility of anonymously responding to letters written to Juliet Capulet. The truth behind the legend is less exotic, but by no means pedestrian. In or , depending on who you believe , Antonio Avena, the Director of the Verona Civic Museums, opened the thirteenth-century cloisters of the Capuccinni monastery of San Francesco al Corso to the public. Shortly afterward, in or , a letter arrived in Verona, Italy, addressed to Juliet Capulet. For unknown reasons, the curator of Juliet's tomb wrote back, sparking a trend that would eventually spread throughout the world. Over the ensuing years so many letters continued to arrive for Juliet that the city of Verona organized the Juliet Club in , an organization with a team of eight volunteer secretaries who respond to the more than letters that are received each year.
I know the ending is preordained from the setup. I know the characters are broad and comforting stereotypes. In this case, I simply don't care. Sometimes we have personal reasons for responding to a film. He's always leaving her behind to investigate wine and truffles for his New York restaurant. She visits the house allegedly inhabited by Shakespeare's Juliet.
Some sort of subconscious symmetry I guess. Anyhoo, I really liked this movie.

This was the final film of director Gary Winick. The film was released theatrically in North America and other countries on May 14, The idea for the film was inspired by the non-fiction book Letters to Juliet , by Lise Friedman and Ceil Friedman, which chronicles the phenomenon of letter-writing to Shakespeare's most famous romantic heroine. Victor is unmoved by the romance of Italy and uses his time to research his soon-to-open restaurant, often neglecting Sophie. Sophie discovers that thousands of "letters to Juliet" left in Juliet 's Verona courtyard are typically answered by the "Secretaries of Juliet".

Directed by Gary Winick from a script by Jose Rivera and Tim Sullivan, the film fulfills every one of its ambitions with the same kind of brisk efficiency that its heroine brings to her job of magazine fact-checking.

Covering ground quickly and effortlessly is what the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S is made for. An Adventure-specced 1,301 cc V-Twin means that entire cross-country journeys are dispatched easily, while Adaptive Cruise Control and Semi-active Suspension together with reworked rider-focussed ergonomics and technology bring agility and long distance comfort to an entirely new level. It's a bold claim, but we'll make it - the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S is the new benchmark.
SUSPENSION: There's no modest way to say this, but - the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S is fitted the most advanced suspension system on the market. Featuring a new generation of innovative WP Semi-Active Technology (SAT) Suspension with electronically controlled magnetic valves for variable damping, providing a wide range of adjustability for maximal comfort and safety. Best yet, all the settings and adjustments to the suspension can be made via the dashboard and are indicated on the TFT screen. In addition, the optional Suspension PRO package allows the rider to benefit from an automatic setting of the rear shock preload or individually adjustable settings for the shock or fork.
FUEL TANK: A completely redesigned 6.1 gal (23 liter), 3-part fuel tank. This is made up of two large fuel cells on each side of the frame, with an upper, central vessel that supplies fuel to the lateral units. The fuel cap is also new and electronically controlled. But the best bit? A storage compartment reminiscent of the iconic KTM 990 ADVENTURE has been included in the new design, complete with a USB socket and big enough to hold your cellphone, sunglasses, or wallet.
ENGINE: With a sledgehammer hit of power and earth-twisting torque, the proven V-twin LC8 engine once again takes the accolades as the most compact, lightest, and best performing engine in the segment. Its greener too, and will deliver 15,000 km service intervals and low fuel consumption, trip after trip, mile after mile.
PISTONS: The pistons in the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S are forged, and are derived from Formula 1 technology. The result is a high loading capacity despite its extremely short and lightweight design. The piston skirts have an additional state-of-the-art, Grafal® finish. It further reduces friction and is particularly hard wearing.
OVERDRIVE: The sixth gear serves as a long overdrive in the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S's well-spaced gearbox. This saves fuel and adds to your cruising comfort.
EXHAUST: Providing the bark for the bite, the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S features a completely reworked exhaust system. Two new headers lead the exhaust gas to a hydroformed collector chamber with two catalytic converters. These, in conjunction with 3 lambda sensors allow the emissions to stay within the latest limits. Meanwhile, at the business end, a newly designed stainless-steel silencer provides a typically v-twin tone.
AIRFILTER: Thanks to a reworked airbox, riders can now easily access the air filter by simply removing 4 screws to remove the storage compartment ahead of the fuel filler cap. Also, the filter itself now features vertical ribs, instead of horizontal. which helps direct dust or sand towards the bottom of the air box, without getting sucked into the filter slats. Overall, a better design for hardcore adventurers.
SEAT HEIGHT: Where you'll be spending most of your time, the new seat on the KTM 1290 SUPER ADVENTURE S features separate seats for rider and passenger, with the former being adjustable by 20 mm, from 33.4 in (849 mm) to 34.2 in (869 mm). Accessing the under-seat area is also made easier, with the seat latch released at the push of a button.
USB PHONE SOCKET: No bar-mounted cellphone cradle? No problem. A convenient compartment keeps your smartphone safe on the road. It keeps it charged too, thanks to its integrated USB socket. The optional incoming call and audio functions using KTM MY RIDE link the phone to the TFT via Bluetooth, so less time is spend staring at the small screen, and more time is spent looking ahead.
OFFROAD RIDE MODE: The real adventure starts when the tarmac ends. For that, we give you OFFROAD MODE. Once engaged, ride-by-wire smooths out the throttle response and limits peak power output to better suit offroad conditions. This means riders can lock the rear wheel with the rear brake- a prerequisite for committed offroad riding and deliberately executed slides - while allowing some wheel spin out of corners.Most importantly, the rider is able to hoist the front wheel over obstacles. The rider can also activate the Offroad ABS function to get optimal control in offroad conditions while maintaining front ABS intervention.

Black henbane has yet to be reported in Archuleta County, but is present in Colorado, and is considered a noxious weed. Flowers are five-petaled, yellow or creamy brown colored, with purple veins. Henbane belongs in the Solanaceae family and is highly poisonous.
Weed season is upon us.
For the next several months, you will see articles written by our county weed and pest manager, Ethan Proud, about weeds and how to control them. Noxious weeds are a problem for landowners because they can displace native vegetation, can be harmful to livestock and even change the soil composition, making it impossible for anything else to grow.
Please learn what these plants are and how to control them.
Black henbane has yet to be reported in Archuleta County, but is present in Colorado.
It is a List B species and reproduces only by seed and exhibits a biennial growth pattern (rosette first year, flowers and dies in the second year). Each plant can produce up to 500,000 seeds, which are viable in the soil for as many as five years.
Flowers are five-petaled, yellow or creamy brown colored, with purple veins. After going to fruit, the plant dies and all that remains is a "skeleton" of stems lined with pods that drop seeds. Whether controlling henbane with chemical or mechanical means (pulling the plants is a very effective control method), dead plants should always be bagged and burned or disposed of at a landfill.
Henbane belongs in the Solanaceae family and is highly poisonous containing the alkaloids hyoscamine, hyoscine and atropine, which are responsible for the traditional image of a witch riding a broom.
Henbane has a foul, pungent odor and is rarely eaten by animals, but when consumed, it is fatal. Handling the plant without gloves may result in the compounds being absorbed through the skin and poisoning through absorption. When controlling black henbane, it is important to always wear gloves and long sleeves to avoid dermal exposure.
Archuleta County Weed and Pest is your local resource for managing noxious weed populations and controlling other pests. For further information, please contact the Weed and Pest Department at 264-6773.

A middle aged male with HIV who has been off his HAART medications presents with 2 weeks of left knee pain. There was no trauma to the knee and he has no weakness. He denies any fevers, chills, diarrhea, and night sweats for the past 2 weeks. Below are a picture of his knee and the bedside ultrasound.
What is on your differential? What will your work up include? Scroll down for the case conclusion.
Case Conclusion: An arthrocentesis was performed on the knee with return of the gelatinous clear substance shown. Cultures, including fungal cultures, TB testing, and cell count and differential were negative. Medial collateral ligament bursitis was found on MRI.
Knee ultrasound can be used to evaluate for tendon and ligamentous injuries, Baker's cysts, bursitis, and DVT of the popliteal vein. To evaluate the knee, the patient should be either sitting or supine with their knee flexed to 30-45 degrees. The joint can be dynamically evaluated with range of motion to evaluate for tendon and ligamentous injuries.
Bursitis is inflammation of bursa and most commonly occurs in the shoulders, knees and hips. The most common cause is repetitive friction (think Housemaid's knee with pre-patellar bursitis), although septic bursitis should always be considered. The most easily seen bursa on ultrasound is the suprapatellar bursa, which normally has no more than 2mm of physiological fluid on ultrasound. Not all bursa will be seen on ultrasound if no physiological fluid is present. Bursitis can cause the synovium to proliferate and thicken. Therefore, bursitis should be suspected if the ultrasound shows enlargement of a bursa sac with an irregularly thickened synovium . Bursa may demonstrate septations or echogenic material that can be seen in hemorrhagic and inflammatory bursitis .
Ganglion and synovial cysts can are similar in appearance, and can come from a nearby bursa or joint capsule. These cysts have a connective tissue lining filled with mucinous-like material that will also be anechoic on ultrasound .
Though not as common as pulmonary or CNS infections, patients with HIV also develop musculoskeletal infections, usually with a CD4 count of less than 250 . Patients with septic bursitis usually present with olecranon or prepatellar bursitis. Common organisms include S. Aureus and Strep pyogenes, but testing for Mycobacterium and sporothrix should also be considered. Musculoskeletal TB can be found in 1-5% of patients with TB, and usually occurs in the spine. Tuberculous arthritis affects the hips and knees and is the second most common site of musculoskeletal TB. It presents with fever, arthralgia and joint swelling from effusions, synovial hypertrophy, or periarticular abscesses. Other common musculoskeletal infections in HIV patients include cellulitis, pyomyositis, septic arthritis, and osteomyelitis .

Харра́н или Ка́рры ( — «развилка»; ;  (Греческий город), ; ; ;  и ) — древний город в северной Месопотамии, впервые упомянутый в хеттских документах из Богазкёйя, а затем в Ветхом Завете и ассирийских царских надписях. В настоящее время — административный центр одноимённого района в турецкой провинции Шанлыурфа.

История
Харран — один из древнейших городов мира. Известен уже из эблаитских текстов.

Не раз упоминается в библейской книге Бытия. Там умер и был погребён отец Авраама Фарра (). В этой земле также жил Лаван, брат Ревекки (). Земля Харран имела торговые сношения с Тиром () и была покорена ассирийцами ().

В последней трети II тысячелетия до н. э. Харран был завоеван ассирийцами, продвигавшимися на запад, и, став (при Саргоне II) неотъемлемой частью Ассирии, не уступал по значению соперничающим с ним древним ассирийским городам, лежащим в центре страны.

Город был известен храмом бога Луны — Сина, храм которому был выстроен при вавилонском царе Набониде. С 3-го тысячелетия до н. э. Харран был важным торговым пунктом, до конца VII века до н. э. — провинциальной столицей в Ассирии.

Под Харраном вавилонский царь Набополассар 25 июля 616 года до н. э. победил ассирийскую армию на берегу Евфрата. В июне 609 года до н. э. новый ассирийский царь Ашшур-убаллит вместе с фараоном  безуспешно попытались отбить Харран. С октября 539-го до н. э. Харран вошёл в состав Ахеменидской империи, а с 323 года до н. э. — Селевкидской.

После этого в Каррах были расселены ветераны армии Александра Македонского; позже город попал в территорию Парфии. В период первого непосредственного контакта с римлянами, во время парфянской кампании Красса в 53 году до н. э., Карры входили в клиентское царство Парфии — Осроену. Именно при Каррах Рим потерпел одно из величайших поражений в своей истории. В 214 году Каракалла присвоил Каррам статус колонии и посетил их в апреле 217-го, однако был там убит префектом претория Макрином. Карры окружали стены длиной 4 км.

В поздней античности и во времена Багдадского халифата Харран оставался центром звездопоклонников. В мае 1104 года туркменские эмиры нанесли под Харраном сокрушительное поражение крестоносцам. В XIII веке арабский историк Абуэль-Фида описывает город в руинах.

Современность
Главной достопримечательностью Харрана являются живописные дома-ульи, сложенные целиком из самана, что позволяет поддерживать внутри прохладу даже в изнуряющий зной. Конструкция таких домов предположительно оставалась неизменной на протяжении тысяч лет. Последние жители покинули эти дома в 1980-е гг., и сейчас они используются исключительно в туристических целях.

Современное население Харрана (преимущественно арабское) живёт в новом посёлке, отдалённом от территории древнего города на расстояние нескольких километров. Археологические раскопки на месте древнего Харрана ведутся практически непрерывно начиная с 1950 года, когда эту территорию обследовал Сетон Ллойд. Из , большого холма на равнине Харрана, извлечено значительное собрание ассирийских литературных текстов.

Taking inspiration from Super Robot manga and anime, Bandai and Disney have come together to create a Chogodai King Robo Mickey & Friends. Announced on October 22nd, the component character figures of the Chogodai King Robo Mickey & Friends combine, Voltron style to form a Chogodai (super unit). There does not appear to be a back story behind the giant robot but it certainly shows that Disney is willing to be quite creative with the use of some its most prominent characters.
Standing roughly 8.6 inches tall, the chogokin (diecast) giant robot features individual component figures of Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Pluto (who also comes with a dog house). Steamboat Willie serves as the head of the giant robot, while behind each visor sits the character that the component figure is modeled after. The Chogodai King Robo Mickey & Friends is slated for a March, 2013 release will be priced at ¥13,440, or roughly $169.

For our first DVD, Parnassus presents live performances of Sviatoslav Richter never before available in the West. These videos, filmed at the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory in October of 1976, show Richter in his prime playing as a soloist in front of an audience.
The Beethoven program includes the Sonatas Nos. 1, 7, 9, and 12, and the Bagatelle, Op. 126, No. 1, played as an encore. The First Sonata was performed on October 10, the remainder on October 15. However the October 15 program also opened with the First Sonata so it is essentially complete.
The remainder of the disc includes Chopin performances from October 15, including the Polonaise-Fantaisie, the Scherzo No. 4, two Waltzes, four Mazurkas, and the Etude Op. 25 No. 7.
The video quality of these recordings is limited by the characteristics of Soviet film stock, resulting in a somewhat grainy image. They have been carefully remastered from the best available sources. The sound quality is fine, in stereo throughout.
Few videos of Richter have been issued, and most of those available show Richter in his later years. This release is the only full-length program of Richter from the 1970s issued on DVD.
Program 1: Beethoven
Sonata No. 1, in F Minor, Op. 1, No. 1
Sonata No. 7, in D, Op. 10, No. 3
Sonata No. 9, in E, Op. 14, No. 1
Sonata No. 12, in A Flat, Op. 26
Bagatelle in G, Op. 126, No. 1
Program 2: Chopin
Polonaise-Fantaisie in A Flat, Op. 61
Waltz in F, Op. 34, No. 3
Waltz in C Sharp, Op. 70, No. 3
Mazurka in E Flat Minor, Op. 63, No. 3
Mazurka in C, Op. 67, No. 3
Mazurka in F, Op. 68, No. 3
Mazurka in A Minor, Op. Posth.

All recordings STEREO.
Running time: 125 minutes.

There are performances from two filmed recitals in this two hour DVD. The first was given in Moscow on 10 October 1976, from which come Beethoven's Op.2 No.1 sonata and all the Chopin pieces. Five days later Richter performed the remainder of the Beethoven items.
The concerts took place at the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. There are three large microphones on stands in front of Richter, directly in front of the stalls, and several cameras placed throughout the auditorium. I couldn't work out where one of the back-of-stage cameras could possibly be, as it's not visible during front-on shots, so maybe other shots were included, or maybe there was some first rate camera camouflage in the Great Hall that day.
Parnassus makes clear that the video quality is 'limited by Soviet technology of the time'. I would add that the footage looks as if it's been taped on video from television transmission. The colour is rather grainy and lacks the kind of definition expected today. It's also flecked with tiny VHS detritus familiar if one runs one's own videos from that time. It's not terrible, but prospective viewers should be aware that the tape is getting on for forty years old now. The sound quality is certainly pretty reasonable.
For the 10 October concert Richter was dressed in a sober blue suit. If the recording quality had been better the contrast between his suit and the parquet flooring of the Great Hall might have been stronger. But we can enjoy crisp Beethoven performances, with an especially enjoyable cantabile in the slow movement of Op. 2 No.1 (a sonata Parnassus habitually attributes, here and elsewhere, to Op.1). The vision is touch darker but the sound is just a touch more stabilised and focused on 15 October so the other Beethoven sonatas can be heard a touch better. Here Richter wears a bow tie. The camera shots, some of which, like the panning auditorium ones, are a bit crude, nevertheless allow one access to some of the pianist's range of facial gestures, including the familiar Richter shrug and gurn. The playing is crisp, forthright accenting in the left hand setting up energy and dynamism. His Chopin recital is of lighter material, Waltzes and Mazurkas, all of which are played with commitment and energy. The Waltz in F, Op.34 No.3 goes like the clappers, whilst the Mazurka in E flat minor, Op.63 No.3, lilts rather more convincingly.
Clearly, this is a specialist release for Richter adherents, but they will encounter admirable performances in decent sound and tolerable vision.

ICO fined cold-call firm £350k – so directors put it into liquidation

ICO fined cold-call firm £350k
'Biggest ever' fine might not be paid after firm shuts down
A Brighton-based robo-call spam operation has been hit by a record £350,000 fine by data privacy watchdogs. Since the firm has been closed down and entered liquidation, however, even the Information Commissioner admits the fine is unlikely to be paid.
Prodial Ltd, a lead generation firm responsible for more than 46 million automated nuisance calls, has been served the ICO's largest ever fine for its flagrant anti-social behaviour.
More than 1,000 people complained to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) about the automated calls, which played recorded messages relating to PPI claims.
Complainants said they were called repeatedly and without being given any means to put a stop to the nuisance because no opt-out option was offered. A doctor complained the constant spam calls were interfering with work as they had to answer them in case of a genuine emergency.
Brighton-based Prodial Ltd was operating out of a residential property and took steps to hide its identity, a factor that made it harder for people to report its nuisance calls, an aggravating factor in its offending.
The law is clear that companies can only make calls to people who have specifically consented to being contacted by automated marketing calls. An ICO investigation found Prodial revealed Prodial had secured no such consent.
The ICO's investigation found that information from these calls was used to sell people's personal details on to claims management companies. Records indicated the marketing campaign could have produced a turnover of nearly £1m. Despite the sums of money involved, the firm has been placed into voluntary liquidation by one of its directors.
Christopher Graham, the Information Commissioner, said: "This is one of the worst cases of cold calling we have ever come across. The volume of calls made in just a few months was staggering.
"This was a company that knew it was breaking the law," continued Graham. "A company director admitted that once the ICO became involved, the company shut down."
in a statement, Graham said that levying a massive fine on the now defunct firm served to lay down a marker, potentially discouraging anybody else from adopting the same business model.
"We want to send a clear message to other firms that this type of law-breaking will not pay. That is why we have handed out our highest ever fine.
The ICO's enforcement team is currently working with the liquidators to recover the fine.

Re: ICO fined cold-call firm £350k – so directors put it into liquidation
No doubt the directors will start up another company doing the same. This nearly always happens when a dodgy firm is put into liquidation. Barring the directors does no help as they just uses the spouses/son or daughter name on the registration.:

Indeed the law on limited companies needs to be changed so that directors CAN be chased in cases of fraud.

Benefits of Nuts for Stroke Prevention

In the PREDIMED study, from the Spanish "PREvencio ́n con DIeta MEDiterranea," a whopping 7,447 patients were randomized into three groups. These were folks at high risk for a heart attack, about half were obese, diabetic and most had high blood pressure and high cholesterol, but they had not yet had their first heart attack or stroke. A third were told to eat a Mediterranean diet and given a free quart of extra virgin olive oil every week. The second group were told to eat a Mediterranean diet and given a half pound of free nuts every week, and the last third were told to follow the American Heart Association guidelines and reduce their fat intake. No portion control or exercise advice was given, and they were followed for about five years. The results were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The first thing you do when you look at a diet intervention trial is see what the groups actually ended up eating, which can be very different from what they were told to eat. For example, the so-called low-fat group started out at 39 percent of calories from fat, and ended up getting 37 percent of calories from fat, which is high fat even compared to the Standard American Diet which comes in at 33 percent, something the researchers plainly acknowledged. In fact, the control group didn't change much at all over the years, so can be thought of as the what-if-you-don't-do-anything group, which is still an important control group to have. Though the two Mediterranean diet groups didn't get much more Mediterranean. You can see the charts in my video PREDIMED: Does Eating Nuts Prevent Strokes?
The two Mediterranean groups were told to eat more fruits and vegetables, for example, and less meat and dairy, but didn't accomplish any of those compared to control. The biggest changes recorded were, not surprisingly, in the consumption of the freebies. The group that got a free jug of extra-virgin olive oil delivered to their home every week really did start increasing their consumption, in part by replacing some of the refined olive oil they had been using. And those that got a half pound of free nuts sent to them every week for four years straight did start eating more nuts.
Basically the researchers designed a study to test two different Mediterranean diets versus a low fat diet, but ended up studying something very different. In essence, they studied what happens when thousands of people switch from consuming about three tablespoons of olive oil a day (half virgin) to four tablespoons of all virgin, compared to thousands of people who all the sudden go from eating about a half an ounce of nuts a day to a whole ounce, compared to thousands of people who don't make much of a change at all. It may not have been what they were hoping for, but these are important research questions in and of themselves.
With no significant differences in meat and dairy intake, there were no significant differences in saturated fat or cholesterol intake, so no surprise there was no significant differences in their blood cholesterol levels, and so no difference in their subsequent number of heart attacks. In the five or so years the study ran, there were 37 heart attacks in the olive oil group, 31 in the nut group and 38 in the neither group. No significant difference. Same with dying from a heart attack or stroke or from any cause--but, those in the olive oil and especially the nut group had significantly fewer strokes. All three groups were eating stroke-promoting diets; some people in all three groups had strokes after eating these diets for years, and so ideally we'd choose diets that can stop or reverse the disease process, but the diet with added extra virgin olive oil caused about a third fewer strokes, and adding nuts seemed to cut their stroke risk nearly in half. If this worked as well in the general population, in the U.S. alone that would mean preventing 89,000 strokes a year. That's would be like ten strokes an hour around the clock prevented simply by adding half an ounce of nuts to one's daily diet.

The PREDIMED study got a bad rap because of how it was reported, but it's an extraordinary trial that continues to churn out useful results.
