According to Folks Huxford, Samuel Register came from Appling County to Lowndes County, GA about 1826 and settled in the 10th Land District near Possum Branch, not too far from the homestead of Levi J. Knight and the future site of Ray City, GA. Samuel Register's place later became the farm of Jesse Shelby "Dock" Shaw.
Samuel Register was born in Sampson County, North Carolina on December 1, 1786, almost three years before that state would ratify the U.S. Constitution. He was a son of Dorcas and John Register.
Some time before 1804 Samuel Register came with his family to Bulloch County, GA where he apparently made his home for some 20 years, although there is no records to show that he ever owned land there. In April of 1806 he married Elizabeth Skinner, a native of South Carolina.
When the U.S. went to war with Britain from 1812-1815 in response to British actions against American expansion and trade, it appears that Samuel Register, like other Wiregrass pioneers (see Dryden Newbern) joined the Georgia Militia. In the War of 1812 the Georgia Militia was occupied with three main theaters of operation: the Creek War of 1813-14, the British blockade, and the British occupation of St. Marys and Cumberland Island in 1814-15. British control of St. Marys, GA disturbed the economy of the entire Wiregrass region, interrupting trade on the Alachua Trail which ran from the Altamaha River through Centerville, GA, then across the St. Marys River and into East Florida. The resistance of the Georgia Militia against the British incursions is described in the New Georgia Encyclopedia article on the War of 1812.
After the War of 1812, Samuel and Elizabeth remained in Bulloch county. GA until about 1824 when they moved to Appling County, and then on to Lowndes county in 1826. In 1827, Samuel Register received a draw in the land lotteries for his service as a soldier in the War of 1812.
The land lotteries, legitimized by questionable and coercive treaties, continued the encroachment by settlers on the ancestral lands of Native Americans in Georgia, inevitably leading to conflict. In Florida, hostilities were greatly escalated in December 1835 by the Dade Massacre, where Seminole Indians resisting forced removal to the West wiped out a force of 110 regular army troops under the command of Major Francis Langhorn Dade. When conflict between the Wiregrass pioneers and the resistant Indians erupted in 1836, local militia fought engagements in Berrien county.
In the summer of 1836, a company of militia under Capt. Levi J. Knight of near Ray City was sent to protect the settlers from marauding Indians on their way to join the Seminoles in Florida. When a party of Indians plundered the plantation of William Parker, near Milltown, the militia pursued them N. E. across the county overtaking them near Gaskins Pond not far from the Alapaha River. Several were killed and some injured as the Indians fled across the river. A few days later the militia encountered more Indians at Brushy Creek and ran them off. That was the last real battle with the Indians in this section.
Across the state line in Florida, actions against Indians were being fought by militia on a regular basis. The Battle of San Felasco Hammock was fought September 18, 1836, when a force of 25 US Army Regulars and 100 horse-mounted militia from Fort Gilleland, with 25 armed residents of Newnansville, FL engaged and routed about 300 Indians led by Seminole Chief John Jumper. Fort Gilleland, a picketed fortification located south of the Santa Fe River at Newnansville in present day Alachua County, FL, was one of a string of forts stretching from Jacksonville, FL to Clay's Landing, at the mouth of the Suwanee River. Newnansville, the largest inland town in East Florida, was strategically located at the junction of the Jacksonville road and the Bellamy Road which ran from St. Augustine west to Tallahassee and Pensacola. Newnansville was about about 80 miles southeast of Troupville, in Lowndes County, GA.
In the spring of 1837 militia troops from Lowndes county were sent across the state line to join the forces at Fort Gilleland:
Jacksonville Courier
Jacksonville, May 11, 1837
—Extract of a letter from Col. Mills, to the Editor, dated Fort Gilliland, May 8.
"Major Staniford, with two companies of the 2d Infantry, arrived here yesterday in obedience to orders from Maj. Gen. Jesup, from Lowndes county, Georgia, and are here encamped, awaiting orders."
The following summer, in 1837, Samuel Register and other Lowndes county men went south to join the East Florida Volunteer militia to fight against the Indians on the Florida frontier. According to the records of the Florida Department of Military Affairs, Register traveled first to Fort Palmetto, on the Suwanee River at Fanning Springs, FL.
Samuel Register and his sons, David and John, served with "Captain John J. Johnson's Company of the 2nd Regiment, East Florida Mounted Volunteers, commanded by Colonel William J. Mills, ordered into the service of the United States by Major General Thomas J. Jessup under the Act of Congress approved May 23d 1836, for six months from the 16th day of June 1837 to the 18th day of December 1837. Company enrolled at Fort Palmetto, Florida, and marched sixty miles to place of rendezvous at Fort Gilliland, Fla. Company mustered in by Lieutenant W. Wall, 3d Artillery."
His son-in-law, John Tomlinson, and two other Registers in this same service and company: Samuel Register Jr and John Register, Jr.. Seaborn Lastinger, of Lowndes County, served as a private; he would be shot for desertion during the Civil War. James B. Johnson and Young Johnson , grand uncles of JHP Johnson of Ray City, served in the Florida Drafted Mounted Militia.
Samuel Register was honorably discharged at Newnansville in December, 1837. He subsequently "served another enlistment in the Indian War under the same Capt Johnson (April 1, 1838-July 31, 1838). He also served a third term under this same Capt Johnson in the Georgia mounted Militia (Aug 25, 1840-Oct 18, 1840). On his Bounty Land application dated Nov 23, 1850, he was granted 160 acres of land for this service. His son-in-law John Tomlinson (husband of Zilpha) who served in the same military unit was granted 80 acres of land for his services"
Between 1840 and 1842, Samuel Register sold out his home-place in the 10th District, and moved from Possum Branch to the 11th Land District where he acquired Land Lot 500. This lot was in that part of Lowndes county that was cut into the new county of Clinch in 1850, and in 1920 was cut out of Clinch into Lanier County.
In 1856, it was a great boon to Register when the Atlantic & Gulf railroad was charted to run from a connection with the Savannah, Albany & Gulf railroad at Screven, by way of his land to Thomasville. But when the surveyors for the new railroad selected a route through Valdosta bypassing Troupville, that old town was doomed. Register had a portion of Lot 500 platted into town lots and founded the town of "Registerville." Although when the railroad people came through, they changed the name to "Stockton", in honor of one of their contractors, a Mr. Stockton, who had charge of the road construction.

Dr Emma Woodword
After working as a children's Social Worker in East London for several years Dr Emma Woodward decided that the only effective way to support children and young people with their mental health was to get in earlier and teach them the protective skills they needed in the first instance. So, in 2006 Emma decided to retrain and undertook her Doctorate in Child, Educational and Community Psychology at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. Emma now has over over 20yrs experience working with children, young people and their families to support mental health and wellbeing. After moving to NZ in 2014, where she was Practice Lead for the Intensive Wraparound Service with the Ministry of Education, Emma is now the Managing Director of The Child Psychology Service in Auckland. Emma supports children and their families with a range of concerns (predominately anxiety in school aged children) and delivers training nationally around NZ on using strengths-based approaches and Positive Psychology when working with children and young people. As mother to three wonderfully lively and curious boys, Emma has a specific interest in how we use the science of Positive Psychology to support today's children to develop the skills that they need in order to thrive in their tomorrow and is currently authoring a book on future focused parenting. Emma has a warm, genuine and curious approach to her work and her passion lies in enabling clients to use their strengths to support self-motivated and lasting change.
Monday 8 April | 11:00am
We are constantly being reminded that levels of anxiety are rising in school-aged children. This can feel overwhelming and feel beyond the level of capacity and expertise for many teachers and teaching staff. But in many cases, it is not. We have the skills and resources through the use of positive interventions to support many of our students to flourish in education. This empowering and informative presentation explores what anxiety is (and what it isn't), why it is "rising" and clarifies what we, as educators, can do every day to support our student to reach their fullest potential.

Today I broke in my new false bottom and sparging arm, upgrading not only the look of my mashing set-up (stainless steel trumps plastic anytime!) but also my efficiency. The new gear seemed easier to assemble and I definitely lautered and sparged more quickly than I can remember in a long time.
I won't repeat the description and details of just what a Dortmund Export lager is (see last year's brew…). I will only say that I was trying to do basically the same beer from a similar recipe (based on Greg Noonan's recipe in our Seven Barrel Brewery Brewer's Handbook). The yeast and hops are slightly different from last year's and I used some toasted cara-foam malt this time instead of the usual cara-pils, to get a little more of a "fresh-bread" aroma.
The Dort
5 gallons, all-grain
- 8.5 lbs. Bohemian Pilsner malt
- .5 lbs. toasted (15 minutes at 300°F) cara-foam malt
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 oz. Perle hop pellets (@8% aa)
- 3/4 oz. Northern Brewer hop pellets (@12.3% aa)
- White Labs Southern German Lager Yeast (WLP838)
- 2/3 cup corn sugar (for priming)
Crush grains. Heat 14 quarts water to 161°F, add salt. Dough in and hold at 150°F for 75 minutes. Heat 14 quarts more water to 168°F. Begin runoff and sparge, collect 26 quarts sweet wort. Bring to boil, add 1/4 oz. Perle hops. Boil 15 minutes, add Northern Brewer hops. Boil 15 more minutes, add 1/2 oz. Perle hops. Boil another 15 minutes, add remaining 1/4 oz. Perle hops. Remove from heat after another 15 minutes (60 total), chill to 70°F. Take a hydrometer reading, pitch yeast, seal and ferment at 55 – 60°F for seven to ten days. Rack to secondary, age cold (40°F) for three to five weeks. Prime with corn sugar, bottle and store cold (40°F) for eight weeks.

| 11.9°C Belfast
A British man who opened a scuba diving business in the Philippines has been shot dead on the island where he lived.
Tony Gilchrist, 35, was reportedly shot four times in the chest and twice in the head, allegedly by a security guard whom he had dismissed for turning up late for work after a drinking session.
The shooting happened on Saturday at Fish Buddies, a scuba diving shop owned by Mr Gilchrist on the island of Malapascua.
Mr Gilchrist, originally from Staines, west London, had thrown himself into distributing thousands of pounds worth of aid raised in the UK following Typhoon Haiyan which destroyed parts of the Philippines five months ago, the Guardian newspaper reported.
His brother James, who travelled to the island with another brother, Stephen, described him as a "wonderful" person who died in a "beautiful, idyllic" place that he loved.
"My brother was an incredibly compassionate person who cared deeply about the Philippines," he told the Guardian.
"When it hit (the typhoon) he hired a bus and was shipping aid back and forth. We managed to raise over £10,000. He went to Cebu and bought lots of provisions, which he then ferried on a boat which he had hired.
"It was really incredible what he did, with bandits trying to steal it and so many other things going on.
"He made sure he went to the most remote parts where help was needed and brought chainsaws so he could clear jungle. He was a wonderful person who cared about the people here and lived in this beautiful, idyllic place."
Mr Gilchrist is said to have worked in local government in Hounslow, west London, before moving to the Philippines.
His alleged killer was named in local news reports as 42-year-old Melchor Alciso Jr from Hinundayan, Southern Leyte, in the Philippines.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We are aware of the death of a British national in Malapascua Island on the Philippines on Saturday April 19.
"We are providing consular assistance to the family at this difficult time."

Thanks guys!!!! In honor of how much I LOVED! the favorite things posts, I have decided to share one of my very favorite things with you!
My undying love of Fiesta ware! And not only that, but my undying love of this particular COLOR of Fiesta ware.
Hello my darlin!
This, my friends, is a glorious color called peacock (it's actually a little more vibrant than it looks in the above picture). I cannot get enough of it. I have two place settings of it already (which brings my count of place settings up to 10, nevermind that there are only two chairs at my dining room table. I don't like to get caught up in details, you know?) The color is negotiable of course, if you hate blue but love yellow I can make that happen for ya!
So here is what I am offering. One new (just in case you were worried I would just send you dirty dishes) 5 piece peacock (or your choice) place-setting.
Here is what I need from you. Matt and I have come to the realization that we need new flatware (flatware is knives and forks and crap, right?), so leave a comment telling me what YOU use. Be it a brand, a recommendation, or you know...whatever. Maybe you eat with your fingers..that's okay here on Country Mouse. Maybe you use plastic utensils for every meal (naughty naughty! um...I mean...I'm not judging!). If you happen to now use forks or spoons just leave any ol' comment, that'll do the trick.
Spread the word out in blogland - you don't have to be a regular reader to enter or anything silly like that. I'm going to keep the giveaway open until Sunday night. (I know thats a long time, but I want everyone to get a chance to enter) and I will then pick the winner randomly.

I am a professional intermediary with an expertise
in the selling of convenience stores
I am especially valuable to owners who wish to sell 5 or more convenience stores as a package or to those wishing to buy or sell a jobbership.
"If you own 5 or more convenience stores and want to sell them…
I can help you!"
Over the years I have helped dozens of convenience store owners prepare and implement the process of selling their stores. With my involvement in the sale of more than 500 businesses I have developed a process of what is the most effective way to sell a convenience store and if you are serious about selling your convenience stores I can help you accomplish your goal.
If you are considering selling your stores, please don't make the mistake of thinking that it will be just another sale. The selling of a chain of convenience stores is serious business and you want to ensure that you get the highest possible value you can get in the marketplace. It is not an event that a person can just "wing it" and hope for the best.
I have seen all of the things that can go wrong if the correct process is not implemented when selling convenience stores. It is not pretty…and worse yet…costly.
Quite often I am asked to assist owners of convenience stores in different areas of their businesses and help them decide on whether the time is right for them to take their stores to the market or not. Below are some of the services I offer to those who want additional information before proceeding with the sale.
- Identifying underperforming assets
- How to know if you are ready to sell
- Do you have the proper team (Attorney, Accountant, Intermediary) to sell
- How to know what the true market value of your business is today's marketplace
- How to turn unprofitable stores into multiple positive profit streams
- How to prepare yourself mentally and physically for the selling process
- Business valuation
Everybody needs help from time to time. Take advantage of my experience and expertise.
Remember, after owning more than 35 different businesses and being involved in the sale of more than 500 businesses I don't think there is too much that can shock me. Capitalize on my experiences and mistakes and save your money in the process.

With divorce and separation come new experiences and responsibilities. Suddenly phrases like "child support payments" and "100 percent liable for bills" enter the picture. If you ignore your increased financial obligations or fail to separate your accounts, it may be hard to open new accounts and obtain new loans in your name. But there are many moves you can make to protect and restore the good credit that took years to build.
Protect Your Good Credit
Your divorce decree does not relieve you from joint debts you incurred while married. You are responsible for joint accounts — from credit cards and car loans to home mortgages. Even when a divorce judge orders your ex-spouse to pay a certain bill, you're still legally responsible for making sure it is paid because you promised — both as a couple and as individuals — to do so.
The credit grantor (a bank, credit card issuer, mortgage company or other credit-lending business) also has a legal right to report negative information to a credit reporting company if your ex-spouse pays late on a joint account. If your ex-spouse doesn't pay at all, you'll probably have to pay — or the grantor can take legal action against you.
- Close or separate joint accounts. Talk to your ex-spouse, if possible. Analyze all your debts and decide who should be responsible for each. Call your creditors and ask them how to transfer your joint accounts to the person who is solely responsible for payments. However, you still might have legal responsibility to pay existing balances unless the creditor agrees to release you from the debt.
- Take stock of your properties. You may have to refinance your home to get one name off the mortgage, or you might need to sell your home and divide the proceeds.
- Keep paying all bills. Until you can separate your accounts, neither of you can afford to miss a turn paying bills. During divorce negotiations, send in at least the minimum payment due on all joint bills. Miss even one payment and it stays on your credit profile for up to seven years, making it hard to obtain new credit in your own name. Beware of well-meaning friends and relatives who may tell you to ignore making payments or to run up debts. Always make all payments with at least the minimum due.
Establish Credit Independently
- Start small and build up. Get a credit card that has a small credit limit, perhaps from a local department store or financial institution. Then always pay your bills on time so your credit history will be excellent. After six months, apply for another card and continue paying bills consistently. Don't run your debt up beyond what you can afford to pay. It's a winning strategy that's easy to master.
- Ask a family member or friend to cosign. Perhaps a relative or friend with an established credit history can cosign your loan or credit application - provided you repay that cosigned debt on time. Remember, any transaction also will show up on the cosigner's credit profile. After a few months, try again to get credit on your own.
- Consider applying for a secured credit card. You must open and maintain a savings account as security for your line of credit. Your credit line is a percentage of your deposit. Beware of the extra fees you may have to pay for secured credit.
Rebuild a Positive Credit History
You can pick up your pieces and start fresh with a positive credit report - if you pay your bills on time. After all, your credit profile is always evolving.
Your recent bill-paying pattern is critical. Your behavior (during the next 18 to 24 months) is most important in deciding whether you're a good credit risk. Even one late payment can affect your ability to get a mortgage.
Help is available if you're having difficulty paying bills. The nonprofit National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC), 1 800 388 2227, can help you establish a budget and repay creditors. Other organizations offer quality credit counseling as well. Be sure the organization you work with is non-profit, provides budgeting and financial management training in addition to any debt management plan, and does so at little or no cost. Be very cautious of any organization that claims it can provide a quick fix to your credit problems, provides you with no financial management education, or charges substantial fees for its services.
Bankruptcy Is a Last Resort
Bankruptcy should be the last move to make if you get in over your head.
It's not an easy way out. Filing for bankruptcy is no guarantee that it will be granted, because a court judgment must be made. Even if all you do is file your bankruptcy papers with the court, it gets reported on your credit profile.
Not all debts are included in bankruptcy. Things like alimony, child support, student loans and taxes secured by liens still must be paid consistently.
Bankruptcy remains on your credit history for up to 10 years. While a declaration of bankruptcy removes many debts, any reference to filing, dismissal or discharge still appears on your credit history for up to 10 years. During this time, you'll find it more difficult, if not impossible, to get a new mortgage, a personal loan or a credit card.
Consider Mediation
Mediation can make things much fairer by helping you and your ex-spouse work out a reasonable and equitable divorce agreement. If you'd like help finding a mediator, contact the American Arbitration Association. To locate an attorney, check with your state or local Bar Association.

Steinway Lyngdorf's $22,000 S-Series
I have a confession to make: Often when I see a new über-expensive high-end audio product, I think, "It's cool, but who would actually buy this?" I sure didn't feel that way when I got a demo of the new Steinway Lyngdorf S-series at the company's showroom in Los Angeles' Pacific Design Center. The system is designed for the person who wants the performance of the world's largest and most exotic systems in a form factor no larger than an entry-level mid-fi rig — and it delivers.
The S-series is Steinway Lyngdorf's attempt to scale the technology of its colossal Model D system down to a more practical size and cost. "The Model D is fantastic, but it's out of most people's price range," company founder Peter Lyngdorf said.
The S15 speaker fits on a shelf or stand, or can be hung on a wall. It's just slightly more than 3 inches thick and 10 inches high. It uses the same Air Motion Transformer (AMT) ribbon tweeter found in the company's other speakers. The sides of the speakers are covered in flexible string material that enhances ambience by letting the sound from the back of the tweeter escape. The tweeter and the 5[1/4]-inch woofer fit into a super-stiff CNC-machined aluminum enclosure. The S210 subwoofer covers frequencies up to 300 Hz, using dual 10-inch woofers.
To power the system, you need two of Steinway Lyngdorf's stereo digital amplifiers, each of which pumps out 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms. You also need one of the company's digital processors. The SP1 stereo processor has analog, digital and USB inputs, and outputs digital signals to the amps through Cat-6 cables. The processor's built-in DSP corrects for the acoustical flaws in the S15 and S210, and also performs Steinway Lyngdorf's proprietary RoomPerfect room correction EQ.

Hi there!
Some time ago I noticed some weird behaviour on our website http://www.alice-dsl.de so I thought it would be a good idea to revisit this issue. Part of the above mentioned website is a selfcare area, where our customers are able to view their bill, to change the product options etc. etc. This area requires a login and so the login itself, as well as the subsequent pages are secured by SSL.
SSL and Performance Optimization was for quite some time a very difficult beast to debug, but fortunately with Pat Meenans WebPageTest this was solved at least for IE. In the old days you could use HTTPWatch for example, to see the HTTP interaction within the SSL tunnel, but you were unable to view the TCP Connection flows. With Microsofts Visual Roundtrip Analyzer you were able to see the TCP Connection flows, but you were unable to see the HTTP Conversation within the SSL Tunnel. Pat's tool was the first (maybe still is the only one) that allowed to see both, the TCP Connection flow as well as what happens within the SSL Tunnel.
So, back to our page. In one of our former optimization iterations we decided to do some domain sharding. With this we wanted to improve performance especially for IE6 and IE7 users, as these Browsers only open up 2 TCP Connections per domain. Resulting in a performance limit, that is often lower than what your bandwidth is able to provide.
We implemented that in a way, that we could follow another performance rule, which is "Make static content cookie-free". So we set up another Domain, static.alice.de, which we used for the above mentioned domain sharding, as well as keeping most of the content cookie-free.
There are some reasonable concerns regarding domain sharding in conjunction with SSL, as you not only have an additional DNS lookup and TCP handshake, but also an additional SSL handshake, which can be quite time-consuming. But we were pretty confident, as our customers are solely based in small Germany with a RTT of ~50 ms, that the benefit of 4 connections would outweigh the impact of that additional DNS lookup and TCP/SSL Handshake.
So, when I did a run with Webpagetest.org, the result in IE7 looked like this:
Hmm… that was weird… As you can see, you have some 2 connection waterfall behaviour, but for the first 7 objects, it seems like the TCP / SSL handshake is closed after each object, and re-established for the next one. Now THAT is much more painful, than what we would have expected…
So I was almost picking up the phone to call the Webserver Admin, that probably the Connection: Keep-alive Headers were not set correctly in Apache, but I decided first to check the HTTP Headers. And they looked like this:
Request Headers:

As you can see, BOTH ends have a "Connection: Keep-Alive Header" using HTTP1.1. So why in the hell was the connection closed???
So I fired up Wireshark to look at the raw packet flow. Wireshark normally does not allow me to see the content within the SSL Tunnel, but in this case it didn't matter, as I only wanted to see, WHO is closing the connection.
So it was ME (Or my machine) which was closing the connection, not the Server. As you can see in the trace, I am the one sending the TCP FIN.
So far, so bad.
Thinking about a solution / workaround I was wondering: Only the CSS files are affected. The Headers are correct and the same as the other assets, which are downloaded later on from the same domain. And with these assets I see a perfect persistent connection… Maybe it simply is due to being hosted on another domain?
Setting up another test page I dropped the idea of domain sharding, and used just one domain. The domain, where the base page resides. And the result was:
And the issue is gone… Meanwhile the Time-to-Render has improved from 2.2 to 1.6.
As it seems, the buggy TCP Connection behaviour seems to show up, when you are delivering CSS files VIA SSL from a different domain, than the base page.
I did a further test
(waterfall coming soon), where I have shifted only the CSS files back to the domain, where the basepage resides. Result is
As you can see, the connection was kept-alive during the CSS downloads. BUT, later on, when the CSS-Images were downloaded from the sharded domain, suddenly these CSS-Images showed the Connection: Close behaviour!
Now, which IE Versions are affected? IE 7, as you can see above. IE 6 as well, IE 8 and IE 9 are
not also affected. (Though I have to check with IE 8 and IE 9, if the issue would only be visible, if I add a seventh CSS file in the HEAD. But then you have another issue anyway). With IE 8 and IE 9, though, the issue is a lot less impacting, as you will be hit ONLY if you have more than 6 Stylesheets referenced in HEAD. Something which you should avoid anyway.
Firefox is not affected.
Finally: Who should care (If my observations/assumptions are true. Feel free to comment)?
– If it is not SSL, you have no problem.
– If you have inlined CSS, you have no problem.
– If your CSS files and CSS Images are on the same domain as the base page, you have no problem.
– If you have just a single CSS file via SSL in the HEAD, it is cacheable and your customers have a rather low latency, you shouldn't worry too much.
– BUT, if you have multiple CSS files, or different CSS files on each page, which are on a different domain, then it might be an issue. More so, if they are not cacheable, and even more so, when your customers DO have high latency. Remember, NO RENDERING, until all CSS files from the HEAD are received! Blank Page!
So, even though there seem to be quite a lot of conditions that have to be met, my assumption is that quite a few pages might be hit by this issue. I coincidentally saw that on Gateway's site for example (CSS Images via SSL on a sharded Domain. Look at the bottom of the waterfall and the corresponding HTTP Headers). And it sounds reasonable. When you follow some of the performance best practices (Domain sharding, Make static assets cookie-free, Use a CDN) and are using SSL, you probably run automatically in this scenario.
Finally a big thank you to Thomas G., Daniel G. and Michael S. who supported me in this analysis!
I got in contact with Microsofts IE Team via their blog and indeed, they confirmed the above mentioned behaviour. So this is not a unique fail case with our domain, but actually a bug in IE, present in versions 6 to 9. In the same response they said they are looking to fix this in an upcoming IE version.

The purpose of this pilot study is to find out if taking hydroxychloroquine will decrease immune activation (stimulation of the body's defence system) in people with early HIV infection. Hydroxychloroquine is a medicine that has been used successfully for many years to treat autoimmune diseases (diseases in which the immune system causes damage to the body), e.g. lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. It is generally safe in long-term use and easily accessible.
The immune system is stimulated in response to infections including HIV, so treatments that decrease immune activation may have long-term clinical benefits i.e. delay onset of treatment.

An Air Force basic training instructor facing 22 years in prison was given 21/2 years Thursday after he was found guilty on all but one of nine charges that included a 2011 tryst with a recruit.
Staff Sgt. Craig LeBlanc, 27, was the eighth trainer to be tried for sexual misconduct at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in an ongoing scandal, which has become the largest ever in the Air Force.
So far, 32 instructors have been charged with having illicit contact with 62 recruits and technical training students.
Prosecutors branded him a bad apple who was so rotten, he used his status as a trainer as a pickup line outside a San Antonio bar.
They said LeBlanc repeatedly broke the law and had turned his back on the Air Force's core values of integrity, service before self and excellence. Instead, he embraced dishonor, self over service and crime.
He didn't deny the portrayal.
"Before I went into confinement, I was very unhealthy. I had a lot of issues that had not been addressed by me," LeBlanc said, adding that people from his parents to his fiancee warned he had things to work on. "I didn't want to confront my issues. I wanted to run from them."
Facing a battery of allegations that included sexually assaulting a woman, he was at risk of going to prison for 52 years.
Only one of the other trainers who've gone to trial is to spend more time behind bars. Staff Sgt. Luis Walker, convicted of raping one recruit and illicit involvement with nine others, got 20 years last summer.
Col. Donald Eller Jr., the Air Force judge deciding the case, found LeBlanc not guilty of sexual assault, the most serious of all the charges because it carried a possible 30-year maximum sentence and would have branded him a sex offender.

Prosecutors asked Eller to send LeBlanc to prison for five years, far less than the maximum. The judge reduced him to the lowest rank, airman, and ordered that he receive a dishonorable discharge.
By his own measure, LeBlanc's life had spiraled out of control.
Carefully selected to hold the job of training recruits, he later abused them, helped lure two women into a dimly lit supply room where they had sex with another instructor, cheated on his wife and threatened to jump from a Loop 410 overpass just after Thanksgiving.
Jailed after that, he illegally contacted his fiancee on Christmas Eve even though he was forbidden from doing so, and also was given a letter of reprimand for trying to pick up a technician who was providing treatment for him.
"I did not hold up the standard of an Air Force NCO or to the higher standard of an MTI," he told the court in a sworn statement.
Lt. Col. Shawn Speranza described LeBlanc's many misdeeds, including forcing recruits to eat cookies, committing adultery, having sex and an unprofessional relationship with the recruit, and asking her to lie about it to investigators.
Those incidents ran from August 2011 through February.
LeBlanc also went AWOL after being arrested for public drunkenness on a Memorial Day river trip and lied to an NCO about why he didn't make it to work the next day.
A few months later, he struck up a conversation with a woman at a bar and met her again in the parking lot at closing time.
"He asked me what I'd do if he was a bad apple," she recalled.
The woman, an airman in technical training at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, reported the incident.
LeBlanc later told an officer at a confinement hearing that he didn't know the woman was in training.
Both LeBlanc and Staff Sgt. Kwinton Estacio, another instructor in the 331st Training Squadron, were charged with sexually assaulting two women in a dimly lit supply room the weekend after they graduated from basic training.
Estacio, too, was acquitted of sexual assault but is doing a year in a California brig for obstruction of justice, violating a no-contact order and having an unprofessional relationship.
The Air Force said LeBlanc used his position and the omnipresent threat of holding recruits back for more training to extract sexual favors from the woman in the supply room.
However, his lawyers agued the law requires a specific threat to physically harm a victim or hurt their career.
No evidence was presented to show LeBlanc ever did that, but in calling for a five-year sentence Speranza, the prosecutor, called him "rotten to the core" — a characterization disputed by the defense.
One-time Army prosecutor Joseph Jordan, pointed to his client as a father of two sons and a daughter who "admittedly made some mistakes."
LeBlanc said he had tunnel vision and "didn't see the big picture."
Life in jail has changed that, he said, telling the court while sobbing that his grandmother has been diagnosed with cancer, "and I'm not there to console her or my mother." His mother, a few feet away, cried.

Today's media coverage of the variable annuity market has focused on company buybacks and modifications to existing clients' product guarantees — a prospect that has many clients feeling more wary than ever about annuity purchases. (See our previous posting on carriers seeking to modify existing variable annuities with lifetime guarantees.)
See: Another blight on the bruised annuity industry's reputation
Despite this, insurance companies have used the negative experiences of recent months as motivation to effect positive change in their annuity product offerings by offering clients real flexibility and risk management options. Stacking roll-up up features allow clients to tie annuity payouts to market performance while still allowing them to take advantage of guaranteed death benefit and lifetime guarantee add-on options. This new generation of annuity products should help clients navigate today's challenging markets with the added bonus that they realistically manage risk while minimizing tax liabilities.
Setting the state: Current annuity market challenges
As a result of today's protracted low interest rate environment, combined with lower than expected lapse rates on existing contracts, many annuity providers will realize substantial losses absent modification to, or outright elimination of, lifetime income guarantees sold in connection with products in recent years. While some carriers have offered buybacks to existing contract owners and others have sought to require more conservative investment strategy, the result is the same: clients may perceive these products as less secure investment vehicles.
Insurance companies respond with new product offerings
These client perceptions, coupled with market conditions themselves, have created an impetus for action among insurance companies. In recent weeks, major carriers have released new product offerings in both the fixed and variable annuity markets.
Fixed annuity products have been developed to offer clients both guaranteed minimum death benefits and optional lifetime income riders so that the annuity product can serve the dual role of both a retirement income and estate planning tool. Clients who purchase these annuity products are able to realize growth in the death benefits provided under the contract through interest credits so that the client may be able to leave a greater benefit to his beneficiaries upon death, depending on market performance.
These products also offer a stacking roll-up feature, which allows the interest rate risk to be managed in that the lifetime income payout rate, which is partially fixed, is also tied to the contract's investment earnings. This system mitigates the risk that insurance companies will, once again, face unanticipated losses and require product modifications.
New variable annuity product offerings have focused on presenting clients with a wider range of investment options in light of higher taxes on traditional investment-type income in 2013. As such, clients have greater opportunity to participate in the equity markets within tax-deferred vehicles that can help to minimize investment income tax liability.
Broadened investment options within these variable annuity products recognize the fact that many annuity investors have begun to use annuity products as a substitute for equity investments in light of continued low interest rates and perceived market risk. Therefore, they seek to allow each client to manage his own risk profile — effectively recognizing the need to allocate risk more appropriately between company and client to prevent the need for future product modifications.
Importantly, both fixed and variable annuity offerings allow the client greater flexibility in making withdrawals, creating a more liquid investment than clients may have come to expect from annuity investing by reducing or eliminating the fees for early withdrawal or surrender that are often associated with these contracts. As a result, these products more closely resemble direct investments in the equity markets, with greatly reduced risk.
While every client's annuity strategy must be determined on an individual basis, new product offerings by insurance companies should help alleviate some of the concerns that clients may have about the state of the annuity market today. Many new products require the client to assume a degree of market risk, but they also reflect the reality of today's economy and very possibly increase the odds that the product features will remain constant in the long run.

Mozilla confirmed the presence of an unpatched flaw in its browser on Thursday, with a post promising to release a fix at the end of the month.
The flaw, discovered by security researcher Evgeny Legerov and reported by The Reg last month, creates a means to inject hostile code on vulnerable systems. The vulnerability is due to be fixed in version 3.6 of Firefox on 30 March.
In the meantime, the more technically adept or security-conscious user can update to the beta version of the 3.6.2 release, which already plugs the security flaw.
In other browser security news, Google updated the Windows version of its Chrome browser on Wednesday, addressing nine vulnerabilities of varying seriousness.
Left unfixed the flaws created a possible mechanism to run spoofing attacks or bypass security restrictions, such as sandboxing. Users are advised to update to version 188.8.131.526.
A flaw in the WebKit engine used by Chrome earned its finder, Sergey Glazunov, the first $1,337 pay-out from Google's bug bounty program.
The release also adds features and fixes stability bugs as explained in an advisory here. Google's update comes just days before the much-watched pwn2own hacking contest at the CanSecWest security conference.

I'm a developer at a small company. Sometimes I'm offered extra cash for freelance work from previous employers or on odd jobs that I could do after hours without encroaching on my full time job in any way.
Unfortunately my manager has explicitly forbidden me from working on any side projects. The reason he says is that if I have any free time at all in my life, even on weekends, they should be spent working for his company.
My argument is that my weekends are my time, so I should be able to do what I want. Secondly, I'd broaden my skills with a variety of different problems I wouldn't otherwise see, rather than just staring at the same project all year long. It would actually make me a more experienced programmer and help my full time job.
Everyone else seems to be doing freelance work on the side and making extra cash, but I don't want to rat them out. What other motivation could I use to help my boss see that it's not such a bad thing?

London Marathon 1981 RARE H0ME MOVIE Rotherhithe, Bermondsey SE16 area
This 8mm cine film movie was taken by MrFabchild during the first London Marathon in 1981 along Jamaica Rd SE16 opposite Southwark Park.
American Dick Beardsley, 24, and Norwegian Inge Simonsen, 25, won the race crossing through the tape hand in hand after two hours, 11 minutes and 48 seconds.
Briton Joyce Smith was the first female to cross the finishing line, in 2 hours, 29 min's, and 56 seconds.
About seven hours after the start Marie Dominque de Groot, 30, from Paris and David Gaiman, 47, from East Grinstead ran past the finish line holding hands as the final contestants across the line.

Duo pen longer Pompey deals
Sunderland's Adam Reed and Crawley's Shaun Cooper have extended their loan deals at Portsmouth by another month.
Midfielder Reed, 21, has made eight appearances for Pompey after moving from the Black Cats at the end of January and 29-year-old Crawley full-back Cooper has played seven times since rejoining the club where he began his career.
Cooper is currently sidelined by a hip injury but caretaker boss Guy Whittingham expects him back in action soon.
He said: "Shaun has returned to light training. Tuesday's game (against MK Dons) will come too quick for him, but we're hoping he might be available at the weekend."
Defender Sam Sodje's latest contract is also up, but he is suspended for the next three matches following a red card against Oldham on Saturday.
"It's out of character, but we'll deal with him how we see fit," added Whittingham.
"It's not a case of ripping up his contract, though, because he's played well in the last few games."

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, seen in October 2012.
Updated at 4:40 p.m. ET -- Just days after the Supreme Court announced it would take its first serious look at gay marriage, Justice Antonin Scalia was asked to defend his legal writings on homosexuality.
The Supreme Court justice was visiting Princeton University on Monday to discuss his latest book when a college freshman, who identifies as gay, asked Scalia about the comparison he has drawn between laws banning sodomy with those barring bestiality and murder.
"If we cannot have moral feelings against or objections to homosexuality, can we have it against anything?" Scalia said in response to the question, according to The Daily Princetonian. "I don't think it's necessary, but I think it's effective."
Scalia told Princeton student Duncan Hosie that he is not equating sodomy with bestiality or murder, but drawing parallels between the bans.
Scalia added dryly, "I'm surprised you weren't persuaded," the student newspaper reported.
Hosie's question -- which received a round of applause -- stemmed from a 2003 case, Lawrence v. Texas, which struck down a Texas anti-sodomy law. Scalia had dissented in the case; in his dissent, he makes a couple of comparisons to laws against bestiality and declares, "nowhere does the Court's opinion declare that homosexual sodomy is a 'fundamental right.'"
Scalia, the longest-serving justice on the current court was at Princeton to promote his new book, "Reading Law: The Interpretation of Legal Texts," and to talk about the interpretation of, the Constitution. It was during a question-and-answer session that Hosie asked him about Lawrence v. Texas.
"It's a form of argument that I thought you would have known, which is called the 'reduction to the absurd,'" Scalia told Hosie, of San Francisco, The Associated Press reported.
Reduction to the absurd, an English translation of the Latin term "reductio ad absurdum," is a form of logic in which one refutes an argument by showing that its inevitable consequences would be absurd.
Hosie later told NBC News he didn't feel persuaded by Scalia's response.
"I was very pleased that Scalia was polite with me. I thought he was respectful with me, so I appreciate that, however, I disagree with the substance of his answer," Hosie said.
"If you're making an argument to convince people, you don't want to alienate people, and that's what Scalia did with his language. He didn't just alienate liberals by comparing laws against gay sex to laws against murder and bestiality, he has alienated laws conservatives have condemned. It didn't make sense to me," he added.
The Supreme Court will be reviewing California's ban on same-sex marriage and a federal law that defines marriage as only the legal union of a man and a woman in March, with a decision expected by late June.
Scalia has "not been opaque" about his feelings toward same-sex marriage in the past, and gay rights advocates do not expect him to change his mind when the Supreme Court hears the cases in the spring, said Fred Sainz, vice president of communications at Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay rights organization.
"It's safe to say he is a vote in the 'no' column," Sainz said. "He is not a justice that has an open mind towards these issues that are coming his way."
Hosie said he hopes the exchange he had with Scalia, while it may not change the justice's mind, will at least change the fiery words he uses in the future.
"I feel as if he's crossed a line in comparing some of the things he's compared gay rights to ... so hopefully this media coverage will encourage Justice Scalia to be more conscientious and careful in the words he uses," he said.
Scalia didn't discuss any issues related to specific cases during the Princeton Q&A, but defended his view that divining the original meaning of the Constitution is the best way to interpret it.
"The Constitution is not an organism; it's a legal text, for Pete's sake," he said, reported The Daily Princetonian. "Unless you give [the laws] the meaning of those who enacted them, you're destroying democracy."

"There's a scene where I'm seducing (another woman) naked, while having a prostate exam in the back of a limousine. People don't really see that very often in movies," Pattinson says with a laugh. "You do what you can to surprise people."
(...) The red carpet lineup also will feature Twilight's golden couple, Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. This time they are going head-to-head, with Stewart starring in the competition film On the Road.
"I'm already making excuses," Pattinson jokes about their friendly festival competition. But for these two weeks, it's not all about winning the contest, but enjoying the glitz in the South of France.
"There is really something glamorous about Cannes," Pattinson says. "It's the bow ties and the way the festival holds onto the glamour. People really make an effort." via
DenverPost Whereas Penn and Pitt are familiar favorites at Cannes, this year's festival includes a new crop of young actors seeking more adventurous work, including LaBeouf, Efron and Pattinson.
"When you fantasize about how the world views you as an actor, you're like, 'I want to be recognized at Cannes,'" says Pattinson, who has drawn high compliments from his director, Cronenberg, for his performance in "Cosmopolis." Pattinson has previously been to Cannes to promote the "Twilight" film "New Moon" in 2009, but he's clearly thrilled to be a part of the main slate. "Hopefully, people don't hate it," he says, alluding to Cannes' famously vocal audiences.via RPLife/victoria1985
Kristen mentions Cosmopolis and On the Road at 0:50
A really 'american' 65th edition of Cannes this year: Brad Pitt, Nicole Kidman on the red carpet for two roles or the most awaited Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. A couple in real life but in competition against each other at Cannes. Both actors are competing for the Palme but not for the same movie.
Kristen: "I mean a little healthy competition doesn't hurt. And if there should be only one left, it'll be us! No, I'm just kidding."

Yesterday, I pointed
out that two oil industry experts - Robert Cavner and former Shell
CEO John Hofmeister - said that the "well integrity test" should not be
conducted because there is no benefit, and it could very well blow out
the well.
Cavner thinks that the well integrity tests are really an attempt by BP to underestimate the amount of oil gushing out - and so pay lower fines under the Clean Water Act (fines are calculated by the number of barrels leaking into the Gulf) - by waiting to "test" the flow until the flow has been reduced. In the real world, of course, BP could have tested the flow from day one.
Today, an oil and gas industry veteran with 30 years experience who goes by the alias Fishgrease says that the well integrity test is a PR stunt meant to fool the American people:
Yesterday, Our Government bought in to BP's lies and maneuvering. Yesterday, Our Government approved the Integrity Test. That test is now underway.
We later received information that the Oil States FlexJoint actually in place is a Model 5, and therefore has a MWP (maximum working pressure) of 5000 psi. So now, the pressures Our Government has signed off on applying, are at least 2,000 psi differential pressure over the rating of the component!
I've been battling comments that, surely, this component has a "safety allowance" well above its rating. Boomers, this is pure horseshit. When you're pressuring up against metal with hydrocarbons, the "maximum" in "maximum working pressure" fucking means MAXIMUM. Purposefully exceeding MWP is, in fact, criminally actionable. MWP is enforced in the Oil & Gas industry with perfect vigor. There is no tolerance for exceeding MWP. None. Never. Ever.
You. Don't. Fucking. Do. It
BP is PLANNING on doing it! They would not and could not do it without the U.S. Government taking full responsibility, in the name of Thad Allen, for the consequences of over-pressuring the FlexJoint.
That's alarming enough, but there are many bad things that can happen when you're just sitting there circulating on bottom at 17,840... FOR DAYS. Now that they're having problems with the choke on the capping stack, it might easily be DAYS AND DAYS. You can lose circulation and get stuck. You can lose a mud pump for a matter of minutes and get stuck. You can lose the section of un-cased hole you just drilled (which is at a critical point for the intercept) and make directional control much more difficult getting it back. There are more, and worse things that could happen, but I won't mention them because the crew and equipment on that relief well are the absolute best, and none of those worse things will happen.
But why take these risks? For what? The first relief well is SO close (now stopped)! They have the ability to capture and measure ALL the oil! We already KNOW there is damage downhole! Why would the Government of the United States of America sign off on, and take responsibility for this foolishness?
I need to include here that I think this "test" is probably a good political and public relations bet for both the Obama administration and BP. It's really not a test at all and has no chance of actually testing anything about the well, except their ability to shut it in with no surface leaks. They want to shut in the well and get it off the nightly news. They want that so badly they're willing to risk anything for it. That's both BP and Our Government. They shut in the well and Thad Allen is a hero. They fail and he's no more of a moron than he has been for the last three months. If they succeed in shutting it in or not, any damage they've done in the "test" that makes the kill operation more difficult, or even impossible, will be a matter of opinion. This bet is against the citizens of the United States of America being smart enough to figure any of this out. It's not a bet on actual physical outcomes. It has nothing at all to do with what's the best plan for stopping this disaster.
Politics. Public Relations.
Indeed, the well integrity test is exactly like the stress test for the banks: a meaningless PR stunt devised by the industry itself with the blessing of government. See this and this.

Take your classroom into space
The 'Take your classroom into space' activity is part of the education programme of ESA's Directorate of Human Spaceflight and was one of several education activities done during the ESA astronaut Frank De Winne's OasISS mission.
With the European Columbus laboratory attached to the International Space Station (ISS) in February 2008, educators throughout Europe were invited to propose new ideas for experiments that can be carried out on the ISS to demonstrate the effects of freefall to European students.
The two best experiment ideas (proposed independently by five teachers) 'Do objects have weight in space?' and 'Exploring capillarity' were selected to be performed on the ISS during the six-month OasISS mission.
Order the Education Kit
An Education Kit containing the same hardware De Winne used in orbit is also available for order via the online order form. The kits will be distributed for free to European teachers on a first-come first-served basis.
The Education Kit contains all the elements needed to perform the same demonstrations on the ground and allows European secondary school students (14 to 18 years old) to compare their results with those obtained by De Winne on the ISS, thereby helping the students to learn about the conditions of freefall.
The Education Kit comes with a teaching guide written by European teachers and translated to Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian and Spanish. The guide provides step-by-step instructions to help perform the demonstrations, exercises and questions, as well as an introduction to ESA, the ISS, and the freefall environment.

HTC and Verizon have finally gone ahead and announced the release date of the highly anticipated HTC Thunderbolt. The launch of the handset was delayed numerous times because of unknown reasons. According to rumors, the launch was delayed because of the poor battery life of the handset.
The Thunderbolt was announced by HTC during CES 2011. The handset will be the first phone to support Verizon's so called 4G' LTE network. The HTC Thunderbolt will be available on the Verizon network starting from March 17th, for $249.99 with a two-year contract.
The HTC Thunderbolt sports a huge 4.3-inch LCD with WVGA (800×480) resolution. The handset is powered by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor (MSM8255) and packs 768MB of RAM. The phone also has 8GB of on-board memory, and a 32GB (!) card will come pre-installed as well.
The back of the handset houses an 8MP camera, while there is a 1.3MP front-facing camera for video calling. There is also a kickstand at the back of the handset. The handset runs on Android 2.2 (FroYo), with the latest version of HTC's Sense UI running on top of it.

Millions of people log into social media sites such as Instagram and Twitter on a daily basis.
With social media, users are able to view the lives of others without actually seeing them face to face.
Most of these media platforms were intended to connect people from all around the world, but now some people are feeling less connected and more like spectators.
Especially Instagram, which is home to more of a "picture perfect" platform.
It feels like everything and everyone is great and living a life full of abundance.
Instagram has a standard for its user: be an influencer, have a huge following, get tons of likes, look great while doing that and enjoy life because it's perfect!
Obviously no one is actually telling us this is but it is the standard. This is what we see and this is how the comparisons initiate.
Someone might say "Well stop being insecure; be more secure with yourself then it wouldn't bother you.", but as humans we will always compare ourselves to others.
We didn't log into a social media platform with the intentions of comparing ourselves, but it eventually just happens..
When we see a certain pattern in the world, we get used to it and feel like this is the standard and we start to notice that we're not doing the same things as everyone else.
Then we'll start to ask ourselves, "Do I conform to these virtual standards?"
For example, for women, the new social beauty standard is great curves and a flat stomach.
It's already shown as standard by celebs and its now shown as a standard in clothing.
I'm not saying that anything is wrong with that unique shape but when its being advertised as the only shape being shown on the hottest online stores and what people deem as attractive; what do we do?
A plus sized lady may feel like an outlier.
Some people who are actually just genetically "thick", or might have a little tummy might feel the pressure of having the flat stomach with it, or for someone who's more petite might feel the pressure of gaining weight to fill out certain areas.
But what if you can't achieve these "goals" or "standards"? You might feel disappointed and view yourself and your body negatively.
The social media pressure go beyond body types and sometimes touch on relationships.
Twitter users constantly preach about putting "your all" into whoever you're dating or show them off on your prolife for validation.
It's unrealistic and potentially harmful to have this way of thinking. At that age, we're still trying to find ourselves and figure out what we like. Everything is trial and error.
More importantly, there should be no need for external validation of your SO on social media outlets.
Although it's not explicitly stated, Twitter possesses a hive mentality.
On Instagram and Twitter you'll see people who have clear skin and claim that they use XYZ products or eat/drink XYZ.
Everybody is different, what might work for others might not work for you.
Yes this is common knowledge but when you see almost everyone posting pictures with clear skin, you start to question yourself.
Social media users who deal with hyperpigmentation or acne, deal with the pressure of trying to obtain clearer skin.
There are hundreds of testimonies online of people who try all different methods to have clear skin as the people they see on certain platforms.
These methods will go from moderate to extreme depending on how desperate the spectators are.
You'll constantly see the latest designer clothing being worn by people you idolize or people you follow and you might want to have the same.
The social media pressures spread to how our skin should look, how we should dress, how much money we should have and how hard we should work to reach those standards.
People will only show the rewards of things they got but not how they got them.
This is why its detrimental to think that someone may look better, dress better, have a better relationship than you.
Social media takes a toll on our mental health and our self-esteem when were on it 24/7. Whether you acknowledge it or not we're constantly comparing ourselves to the next person.
Some people can handle the pressure better than others. If being on these platforms drains you and make you view yourself negatively; try to lessen your time on it.
Take a social media detox. You might feel better. Remember that social media life isn't real, virtual life isn't real and it's not a reflection of you.

The ventricles are chambers in the brain that normally contain fluid. This fluid is called cerebrospinal fluid. Usually these chambers contain just the right amount of the fluid for normal brain function. Sometimes, however, too much fluid can build up in the ventricles. This accumulation of fluid leads to a condition called normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH).
When excess fluid builds up, the ventricles enlarge and press against nearby brain tissue. This extra fluid can affect the shape of the brain and lead to brain damage. The condition, though rare, most often affects older adults, and its symptoms can be similar to those of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. A doctor familiar with these conditions can often tell the difference between these diseases and NPH after special testing. NPH may account for 5 percent of dementia cases in the U.S.
Facts about the disease
NPH can be caused by a number of underlying conditions, including brain infections, bleeding in the brain, tumors, and injuries. It can also occur for no clear reason.
These are possible symptoms of NPH:
Trouble walking
Poor balance
Changes in the way you walk
Mood changes
Difficulty responding to questions
Trouble with bladder or bowel control
Your medical team may need to do a number of tests to confirm NPH, such as:
Physical examination, which includes asking about your symptoms
Evaluation of the way you walk
CT or MRI scans of your brain
Spinal tap to remove a sample of your cerebrospinal fluid
A commonly used treatment for NPH is surgery to place a tube, called a shunt, into the brain to drain the excess fluid. The shunt is usually inserted into a ventricle in the brain and then passed under your skin from your head through your neck and chest to your abdomen. The extra fluid in your brain flows through the shunt into your abdomen, where your body absorbs it. The ventricles in your brain may then go back to their normal size.
Implanting a shunt doesn't work for everyone, but some people do benefit from it. Getting prompt diagnosis and treatment helps improve your chances of a good outcome.
It's unknown whether people can do anything to prevent NPH.
Managing NPH
Shunt placement can lead to bleeding and infection, so it's important that you and your family are aware of these possible complications. If you have this surgery, be sure to follow all of your doctor's directions and keep any follow-up appointments to make sure it's working properly.

Simon Reynolds (author of Retromania) writes a long essay considering "maximalism" in electronic music starting with the "awake" sounds of Rustie's Glass Swords: "The overall effect of pulling from all these different phases in the evolution of electronic music technology is a fiesta of retro-futures: as if flashing back simultaneously to all the moments when a bunch of new machines changed the sound of music could somehow redeliver that original shock of the now. But there's no melancholy for a "lost future," just delirious reiteration, thrilling overkill."
Compared with the analog hardware that underpinned early house and techno, the digital software used by the vast majority of dance producers today has an inherent tendency towards maximalism. In an article for Loops, Matthew Ingram (who records as Woebot) wrote about how digital audio workstations like Ableton Live and FL Studio encourage "interminable layering" and how the graphic interface insidiously inculcates a view of music as "a giant sandwich of vertically arranged elements stacked upon one another." Meanwhile, the software's scope for tweaking the parameters of any given sonic event opens up a potential "bad infinity" abyss of fiddly fine-tuning. When digital software meshes with the minimalist aesthetic you get what Ingram calls "audio trickle": a finicky focus on sound-design, intricate fluctuations in rhythm, and other minutiae that will be awfully familiar to anyone who has followed mnml or post-dubstep during the last decade. But now that same digital technology is getting deployed to opposite purposes: rococo-florid riffs, eruptions of digitally-enhanced virtuosity, skyscraping solos, and other "maxutiae," all daubed from a palette of fluorescent primary colors. Audio trickle has given way to audio torrent-- the frothing extravagance of fountain gardens in the Versailles style
I got quite a long way into this piece before discovering that the term "digital ...
