But marijuana isn't much different than any pharmaceutical anti-anxiety medication.
This much I know.
I am not going to judge the mom that takes Xanax any differently than I would judge the mom that hits a joint here and there. Even though I don't require either.
Actually, it is different. Plus it is illegal. Driving while high, parenting while is not ok. Drinking/getting drunk while kids are awake is not ok.

From the gluten-free bars I've had in the past, I'd noticed that a majority of them are all pretty high in sugar. (And of course they taste great..lol) But a lot of the times it wasn't the best for me even though it may be high in other nutrients. The Gluten Free Bar is low in sugar, natural, and most importantly great tasting with all the great flavors they have. Unlike most gluten-free bars, the one thing it does have a lot of is protein. You may think, "Oh..another protein bar? Bleh!" But I can tell you, from someone that has been through a lot of bad experiences with gluten-free protein bars in the past, The Gluten Free Bar is by far the best I've ever had!
What it's free of:
Great Benefits:
- All Natural
- Good source of Omega-3
- Up to 12 grams of Protein!
- No preservatives
- No additives
- Low-Sodium
- Low glycemic
Awesome Flavors:
- Peanut Butter
- Peanut Butter chocolate
- Cranberry Almond
- Oatmeal Raisin (Holy crap..my favorite!)
My favorite things about it:
- First off it's made in a dedicated gluten-free facility and was started by a Celiac himself! How couldn't you be happy about that?
- Every flavor I tried was moist and filling with great texture too unlike a lot of the typical gluten-free products.
- The fact that it is natural and also has up to 12 grams of protein is amazing for me, especially coming from someone who needed a nutritious snack before a workout.
- Lastly, it's low glycemic which is most important to me! Now I don't have to worry about crashing midday after eating this bar:)
Note: This review was strictly out of my opinion and in no way was I payed to review or endorse this product.

Aftermath: Star Wars: Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens by Chuck WendigFeb 16
As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Alliance—now a fledgling New Republic—presses its advantage by hunting down the enemy's scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the enemy's strength is unfolding. Out on a lone reconnaissance mission, pilot Wedge Antilles watches Imperial Star Destroyers gather like birds of prey circling for a kill, but he's taken captive before he can report back to the New Republic leaders.

Episode Summary: Depressed about losing his Royal Paladin deck, Aichi meets Kai. He learns that not only has Kai's deck been changed to a Narukami deck, but also that Kai has no memory of using a Kagero deck or of Aichi using Royal Paladins. To find some answers, the two have a cardfight. As Aichi struggles to get comfortable with his new Gold Paladin deck, Kai slowly realizes that something is off. Getting his memory back, Kai nonetheless chooses to continue using his current deck, but Aichi is conflicted about using his. Kai tells Aichi that he is bound by his own limits by not wanting to use Gold Paladins and that he needs to break through them. To prove his point, Kai rides Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion, declares "Final Turn", and performs Limit Break, an ability that activates when a player has 4 or more damage. With Vermillion's Limit Break, Kai attacks all of Aichi's front-row units in one strike and wins as a result. After the battle, Aichi and Kai watch a commercial advertising the Vanguard Fight Circuit, a worldwide invitational tournament which is sponsored by Takuto Tatsunagi, the young boy that Aichi met before and the one responsible for the phenomena of changing their decks. To use the VF Circuit as a way to reach Takuto, Aichi and Kai go their separate paths. When Aichi goes to Card Capital, he is surprised to learn that Team Q4 has received an invitation to the VF Circuit.

Adam Greenspan. pp. 1192 Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2014. ISBN-13: 978-1451191301
That this is the sixth edition of Adam Greenspan's musculoskeletal imaging textbook is, in itself, testament to its inherent worth. The inclusion of another musculoskeletal radiology giant, Javier Beltran, as a contributor to this edition adds further to its merit.
The textbook is arranged into seven parts. Part I is an introduction to the relative pros and cons of various imaging modalities. This introduction is crucial given the changing nature of musculoskeletal imaging and the widening scope of orthopaedic referral. Part II is a comprehensive overview of musculoskeletal trauma categorised by body region. Parts III-VII cover the important and common diseases likely to be encountered by musculoskeletal radiologists and orthopaedic surgeons, such as the arthritides, tumours, infections, metabolic and endocrine disorders, and congenital and developmental anomalies.
The book has an easy-to-read style throughout, and adopts a practical approach with, for example, each chapter containing a summary of "practical points to remember" which is invaluable as a 'must-know' recap and quick reference for residents and other readers. The book is filled with carefully chosen and beautifully presented radiographs, CT and MR images which are often accompanied by a schematic guide to clearly explain the chosen imaging plane, technique, and pertinent features crucial for those relatively new to musculoskeletal imaging. It is pleasing to see that, as in previous editions, radiography and radiographic technique continues to be amply covered as this is a modality which tends to get increasingly overlooked yet remains the mainstay of orthopaedic imaging. It would have been nice to see more correlative or stand alone ultrasound images included, though, that said, the authors have done a tremendous job packing so much useful information into this 1170 page single volume textbook. The schematic diagrams are incredibly useful and memorable particularly with regard to fracture classification and disease type. These are the images that will stay with you for a lifetime. The text and references are remarkably up to date for a textbook of this size.
Overall, the 6th Edition of this classic textbook lives up to all expectations. It is an easy read and an excellent reference book for day-to-day radiological and orthopaedic practice. Several residents in our Department had the opportunity to study it and were equally enthusiastic in their praise. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this book as an exceptional buy to trainees and residents.

Sean Avery is one step closer to resuming his playing career.
The Dallas Stars placed the winger on waivers Saturday and will be able to assign him to the American Hockey League if he goes unclaimed by 11 a.m. ET Monday.
Avery spent the past two months in a league-mandated counselling program after making vulgar comments in December about an ex-girlfriend who's dating another player. He has now been cleared from that program.
The Stars don't have an AHL team and will have to find somewhere for him to play.
A report in the New York Post on Friday suggested the Rangers might be interested in welcoming him back and are open to having him first play for their farm team in Hartford.
The Stars have some players skating for Hamilton, an affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens, but Bulldogs GM Julien Brisebois said Saturday that they would not be a potential destination for Avery.
Dallas has already said Avery has played his final game for the team.
His route back to the NHL is most likely through re-entry waivers. After some time in the AHL, he could be placed on those and claimed by any of the league's 29 other teams at half the price.
Avery signed a US$15.5-million, four-year contract with the Stars last summer and played just 23 games for the team.
The Stars have thrived since Avery's departure, compiling a 17-8-3 record without him, moving from last place in the Western Conference to a tie for fifth entering play Saturday.
Now 28, Avery has played for Detroit, Los Angeles, New York and Dallas during his career.
He wore out his welcome with both the Kings and Stars, and will be under a fair bit of scrutiny wherever he ends up.

Functional Inequalities: New Perspectives and New Applications by Nassif Ghoussoub, Amir Moradifam
2013 | ISBN: 0821891529 | English | 299 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The book describes how functional inequalities are often manifestations of natural mathematical structures and physical phenomena, and how a few general principles validate large classes of analytic/geometric inequalities, old and new. This point of view leads to "systematic" approaches for proving the most basic inequalities, but also for improving them, and for devising new ones--sometimes at will and often on demand. These general principles also offer novel ways for estimating best constants and for deciding whether these are attained in appropriate function spaces. As such, improvements of Hardy and Hardy-Rellich type inequalities involving radially symmetric weights are variational manifestations of Sturm's theory on the oscillatory behavior of certain ordinary differential equations. On the other hand, most geometric inequalities, including those of Sobolev and Log-Sobolev type, are simply expressions of the convexity of certain free energy functionals along the geodesics on the Wasserstein manifold of probability measures equipped with the optimal mass transport metric. Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg and Hardy-Rellich-Sobolev type inequalities are then obtained by interpolating the above two classes of inequalities via the classical ones of Hölder. The subtle Moser-Onofri-Aubin inequalities on the two-dimensional sphere are connected to Liouville type theorems for planar mean field equations.

Followers of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church yesterday celebrated Ketera, a religious service marking the eve of Epiphany, Timkat here at Jan Meda.
Timket is celebrated on January 19th (20th in a leap year) commemorating the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist at River Jordan. It is the biggest and most colorful festivals among Orthodox Christians in the country.
In Addis Ababa, the faithful from all the diocese of the Church escorted in a colorful procession the Holy Tabots (replica of the Ark of the Covenant) to baptismal sites.
Accompanied by chanting and dancing crowds, the different processions, led by priests carrying the Tabots and deacons as well as Sunday school students wearing colorful robes and crowns joined together along the way to the sites.
The Tabots stay overnight near the waters where Timket is celebrated and ceremonies continue during the night. The priests pray throughout the long night and people in masses camp out, singing church music, eating and drinking.
Both the Ketera and Timket ceremonies particularly are so colorful that they are attended by tourists from around the world.
At the beginning of the festival at Jan Meda, Dr. Abba Hailemariam Meles said Epiphany is one of the outdoor festivals and the nation's public holiday to commemorate the reality that Jesus was baptized in the hands of John the Baptist.
Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church His Holiness Abuna Mathias opened the festival giving his blessing to the congregation wishing a peaceful celebration. The Patriarch urged all Christians to further develop living in peace, tolerance and respecting one another.
Thousands of people including tourists, distinguished guests, ambassadors of various countries and dignitaries attended the holiday.

Identify correlations among SLC26A4 genotype, cochlear structural anomalies, and hearing loss associated with enlargement of the vestibular aqueduct (EVA).
Prospective cohort survey, National Institutes of Health, Clinical Center, a federal biomedical research facility.
83 individuals, 11 months to 59 years of age, with EVA in at least one ear. Correlations among pure-tone hearing thresholds, number of mutant SLC26A4 alleles, and the presence of cochlear anomalies detected by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.
Linear mixed-effect model indicates significantly poorer hearing in ears with EVA from individuals with two mutant alleles of SLC26A4 than in those with EVA and a single mutant allele (p = .012) or no mutant alleles (p = .007) in this gene. There was no detectable relationship between degree of hearing loss and the presence of structural cochlear anomalies.
The number of mutant alleles of SLC26A4, but not the presence of cochlear anomalies, has a significant association with severity of hearing loss in ears with EVA. This information will be useful for prognostic counseling of patients and families with EVA.
Enlargement of the vestibular aqueduct (EVA) is a common radiological malformation of the inner ear in children with early-onset sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). It is identified by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 1–6. EVA can be unilateral or bilateral and either syndromic or nonsyndromic. It is the most penetrant feature of Pendred syndrome (PDS), an autosomal recessive disorder caused by biallelic mutations of the SLC26A4 gene 7 (OMIM605646). PDS was originally defined as goiter and profound congenital SNHL, but is now known to comprise variable thyroid and auditory phenotypes 8. Nonsyndromic EVA can also be associated with SLC26A4 mutations 9, 10. Approximately 25% of EVA patients have only one detectable mutant allele of SLC26A4 and up to 50% of EVA patients have no mutations that we can detect in this gene 11, 12, further contributing to nosologic confusion.
The auditory phenotype of EVA can include fluctuations, progressive changes in hearing, or both 4, 13. The pathophysiological mechanism of the hearing loss is unknown. There is no correlation of either the degree of hearing loss or the occurrence of sudden hearing loss and the degree of enlargement of the vestibular aqueduct or its contents, the endolymphatic duct 3, 4. There are contradictory reports on the effect of the number of SLC26A4 mutations on hearing 11, 14–18 and on inner ear radiologic findings. One study 11 suggested that biallelic mutations are associated with Mondini dysplasia (incomplete cochlear partition with a scala communis) more frequently than with EVA while another 15 reported a correlation of number of SLC26A4 mutant alleles with the width of the vestibular aqueduct. However, other studies failed to demonstrate a significant relationship between the number of mutant SLC26A4 alleles with the severity of the radiological phenotype 19, 5. The purpose of our study was to identify and characterize potential correlations among SLC26A4 genotype, inner ear radiologic findings, and hearing in a cohort of patients with EVA.
This study was approved by the Combined Neuroscience Institutional Review Board, National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, MD. We obtained written, informed consent from adult subjects and parents of minor subjects. Audiological data were available for 83 of 86 subjects with nonsyndromic EVA or PDS who were previously described in reports on SLC26A4 genotype and thyroid phenotype 12, 20, 21. Participants self-described race and ethnicity in accordance with our institutional designations (Table 1). All subjects had unilateral or bilateral EVA, defined as a diameter >1.5 mm at the midpoint of the course of the vestibular aqueduct between the posterior cranial fossa and the vestibule of the inner ear, or an otherwise grossly malformed morphology of the vestibular aqueduct 12.
SLC26A4 genotypes for the subjects have been previously reported 12, 20. We categorized subjects according to number of detected mutant alleles of SLC26A4: zero (M0), one (M1), or two (M2). There are six hypofunctional variants (c.-60A>G, c.-3-2A>G, p.F335L, p.C565Y, p.L597S, and p.M775T) of uncertain pathogenicity within the cohort 20. Our preliminary analysis revealed no statistically significant effect of how we classified these variants (pathogenic versus nonpathogenic) upon comparisons of hearing (0.5/1/2/4-kHz pure-tone air-conduction threshold average) among M0, M1, and M2 subjects. Therefore, these hypofunctional variants were considered nonpathogenic for subsequent analyses, as in Madeo et al 21. Twenty (24%) subjects were classified as M2, 16 (19%) as M1, and 47 (57%) as M0.
We performed MRI of the inner ear, whenever possible, with fast induction employing steady state excitation (FIESTA), T2-weighted fast spin echo, or both on a 1.5-Tesla system at the NIH Clinical Center 12. Seventy of 83 subjects also had previous imaging of the inner ear either by CT (57), MRI (4), or both (9) available for review. All imaging studies were reviewed together at the completion of this study by a Neuroradiologist (J.A.B.) and an Otolaryngologist-Head and Neck Surgeon (A.J.G). We classified 146 ears with EVA into two groups: EVA, if no cochlear anomaly was identified, or EVA-plus-cochlear-anomaly, if an anomaly was identified. Potential cochlear anomalies included Michel deformity, cochlear aplasia or hypoplasia, common cavity, and incomplete cochlear partition. We did not classify hypoplastic modiolus as a cochlear anomaly due to its extremely high prevalence in ears with EVA 22. The cochlear structure of four ears was considered indeterminate due to insufficient technical quality of the images and these ears were excluded from further analysis involving radiologic data.
Three ears with cochlear implants were excluded from analysis. Thus, audiometric data for 143 ears with EVA from 83 subjects were evaluated (Table 1; age range = 11 months to 59 y, = 11.3 y, SD = 12.0 y). Sixty-one subjects had an audiological evaluation at the NIH Clinical Center and 22 subjects provided outside audiological records for review.
Audiological evaluations at the NIH included, when possible, pure-tone air- (250 to 8000 Hz) and bone-conduction (250 to 4000 Hz) threshold tests using clinical audiometers in double-walled sound suites in accordance with ANSI standards 23, 24. Middle ear function was assessed by tympanometry (226-Hz probe tone). We attempted to obtain previous and subsequent audiograms performed at other facilities, which were included for analysis only if the reliability had been rated as good by the examining audiologist. For each subject, we defined the reference audiogram as the most recent and complete audiological evaluation conducted at the NIH, or elsewhere if the NIH evaluation was incomplete.
Type of hearing loss was based upon 0.5/1/2-kHz pure-tone averages for air- and bone-conduction thresholds and degree of hearing loss was classified according to the 0.5/1/2/4-kHz pure-tone air-conduction threshold average as described previously 25. We also calculated low-(0.25 to 0.5 kHz), mid- (1 to 2 kHz), and high-frequency (4 to 8 kHz) pure-tone air-conduction threshold averages. The air-bone gap (ABG) was calculated for each octave frequency from 0.25 to 4 kHz and as an average for at 0.5, 1, and 2 kHz.
Seventy of 83 subjects had serial audiograms spanning at least one month for comparison to their earliest available (baseline) evaluation. We adapted the method of Madden et al 2 to categorize longitudinal pure-tone thresholds as stable, progressive, fluctuating, improving, fluctuating/improving, or fluctuating/progressive according to definitions in Table 2.
Data from ears with evidence (i.e., abnormal tympanometric results) of middle ear pathology were removed from ABG and longitudinal analyses. We used one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to investigate possible relationships between the magnitude of the ABG and number of mutant alleles of SLC26A4. An independent-samples t-test was performed to search for associations of ABG size with cochlear radiological phenotype (EVA versus EVA-plus-cochlear-anomaly). We calculated Pearson's correlation coefficient for ABG magnitude and the vestibular aqueduct diameter on CT scans. We performed a one-way ANOVA to search for relationships between the size of the vestibular aqueduct measured by CT scan and the number of mutant alleles of SLC264.
Fisher's exact test was used to evaluate for associations between degree of hearing loss, number of mutant alleles of SLC26A4 (M0, M1, M2), and cochlear radiological phenotype (EVA, EVA-plus-cochlear-anomaly). In order to avoid confounding effects between ear-specific data (degree of hearing loss and radiological phenotype) and person-specific data (genotype), we excluded 24 individuals (28 ears with EVA) for whom data from only one ear was available.
We analyzed the 143 ears with EVA using a linear mixed-effects model, which accounts for correlation structure due to inclusion of two ears from the same individual. We evaluated relationships between hearing (0.5/1/2/4-Hz, low-, mid- or high-frequency pure-tone threshold averages) and the following independent variables: age, gender, genotype, presence/absence of cochlear anomalies, and thyroid phenotype (goiter versus normal). We performed a similar mixed-effects analysis to model the interval change in 0.5/1/2/4-kHz pure-tone threshold average from baseline to final audiogram. In order to avoid ceiling effects, we did not include individuals with severe or profound hearing loss at baseline in this latter analysis.
All exploratory and modeling analyses were performed using SPSS software for Macintosh version 15 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, Illinois).
Thirty-two (22.5%) of 142 ears with EVA with radiological data also had a cochlear anomaly. Thirty (21.1%) ears had an incomplete cochlear partition ("Mondini deformity"), one (0.7%) ear had a common cavity, and one (0.7%) ear had cochlear hypoplasia.
Ninety ears had sufficient data to classify the type of hearing loss. Sixty (67%) ears had SNHL, four (4%) had conductive loss, and 25 (28%) had mixed loss. One (1%) ear was classified as normal based upon the 0.5/1/2-kHz pure-tone threshold average, although SNHL was present at 6000 Hz and 8000 Hz.
Degree of hearing loss could be defined in 139 ears (range = 10 to 125 dB HL, = 70.63 dB HL, SD = 29.2 dB). It was mild in 18 (13%) ears, moderate in 43 (31%), severe in 36 (26%), and profound in 36 (26%). Six (4%) ears, all in subjects less than 14 years of age, were classified as having normal hearing based on the 0.5/1/2/4-kHz pure-tone air-conduction threshold average, although all six had hearing loss (>20 dB HL) for at least one frequency. We did not observe normal hearing in either ear of any subject with two mutant alleles of SLC26A4, although one subject (#1627 in Pryor et al 12) with unilateral hearing loss and EVA was classified as M1 in our analysis but would be M2 if p.F335L is pathogenic 20.
Fifty-seven ears had reference audiograms with both air- and bone-conduction threshold data and normal tympanometry. We detected air-bone gaps (ABGs) of 15 to 55 dB for at least one stimulus frequency from 0.25 to 4 kHz in 49 (86%) ears and for at least two frequencies in 37 (65%) ears. There was no significant (α = .05) relationship between the magnitude of the ABG at any frequency with the number of mutant alleles of SLC26A4, the presence or absence of a cochlear-anomaly, or the diameter of the vestibular aqueduct.
Figure 1a shows that mean air-conduction thresholds are greater in M2 ears than in M0 or M1 ears. Although there was a trend for poorer hearing in ears with EVA and a coinciding cochlear anomaly, a significant difference was not observed (Figure 1b).
There was a significant association of the number of mutant alleles of SLC26A4 with the degree of hearing loss (Fisher's exact test, p = .002), and an association of the number of mutant alleles of SLC26A4 with the presence of a cochlear anomaly that approached significance (p = .058). There was no significant association between degree of hearing loss and the presence of a cochlear anomaly (p = .82).
We sought to further explore these relationships and the potential influences of age, gender, and thyroid phenotype with a linear mixed-effects model of hearing loss on the number of mutant alleles of SLC26A4 and the presence/absence of cochlear anomalies, including these factors as covariates. According to this model, hearing in the M2 group was 21.3 dB (p = .007) poorer than in the M0 group and 21.9 dB (p = .012) poorer than in the M1 group. Hearing in the M1 group was 5.9 dB poorer than in the M0 group, but this was not statistically significant (p = .50). Hearing in ears with cochlear anomalies was not significantly different (0.05 dB, p = .99) from ears without a cochlear anomaly. The model identified no effect of age on hearing, no significant difference in hearing between males and females, and no effect of thyroid phenotype. There was no significant (α = .05) relationship between the size of the vestibular aqueduct and the number of mutant SLC26A4 alleles (p = .35).
Twenty-eight (26%) ears had stable hearing over an average duration of 3.7 years of follow-up (Table 3). Thirty-three (30%) ears had progressive hearing loss when followed, on average, for 4.9 years, and eight (7%) ears had improvement in hearing when followed for an average of 2.7 years. The remaining three categories, all characterized by fluctuations (Table 2), included 40 (37%) ears. Twenty-three (58%) of 40 ears with fluctuations showed progressive loss of hearing.
We applied a linear mixed-effects model to longitudinal audiological data for ears with normal, mild, or moderate hearing loss at baseline. This revealed that duration of follow-up had a small (0.96 dB/y) but significant (p = .046) relationship with hearing loss progression. There were no significant effects of number of mutant alleles of SLC26A4 or the presence/absence of cochlear anomalies on longitudinal hearing.
We observed that ears with EVA in individuals with two mutant alleles of SLC26A4 have significantly greater hearing loss than those with one or no mutant alleles of SLC26A4 (Figure 1a). This is consistent with reports 14, 15 of two different Caucasian-majority cohorts, but differs from those of some other studies 11, 16, 17, 18, 20. For example, there was no detectable relationship of hearing level with number of mutant (p.H723R) alleles of SLC26A4 in a small Japanese cohort with probable ceiling effects on hearing levels 16, 17. Wu et al 18 detected no similar relationship in a Taiwanese cohort, but their metric for hearing was not defined. Azaiez et al 11 found no relationship between number of SLC26A4 mutations and a binaural mean pure-tone threshold average in a Caucasian-majority cohort, but this discrepancy may reflect the misclassification of SLC26A4 polymorphisms as mutations 20 or the use of a binaural measure of hearing in a cohort with a high prevalence of unilateral hearing loss. We cannot rule out potential associations of number of mutant SLC26A4 alleles with sensory hearing because we had an insufficient number of audiograms with bone conduction data. This reflects, in part, a bias introduced by ceiling effects in individuals with severe and profound hearing loss in whom there is no response to bone-conduction stimuli at the limits of the test equipment.
We also observed that the presence of a cochlear anomaly in addition to EVA is not associated with more severe hearing loss when the contribution of other covariates (e.g., genotype) is taken into account. We are unable to directly compare our findings to those of a similar analysis by Wu et al 19 because they classified and grouped their ears with cochlear anomalies differently. Okumura et al 26 reported better hearing in 23 ears with additional cochlear anomalies among Japanese EVA patients, but they defined EVA as a midpoint diameter > 4mm and did not report their metric for hearing loss.
Although we detected a suggestive relationship between number of SLC26A4 mutant alleles and cochlear radiological status, the relationship was not statistically significant. This is consistent with two 14, 18 previous independent reports finding no correlation of number of mutant SLC26A4 alleles with pattern of inner ear malformations. In contrast, Azaiez et al 11 reported that individuals with biallelic SLC26A4 mutations have a more severe radiological phenotype, but ambiguities in their genotypic and phenotypic classification preclude a direct conclusion or comparison 20. We did not observe a significant relationship between size of the EVA and number of mutant SLC26A4 alleles, in contrast to the study of Madden et al 15 that more broadly defined EVA as a midpoint diameter >0.9 mm or an operculum diameter >1.8 mm. The strong inverse correlation of two mutant alleles of SLC26A4 with a vestibular aqueduct midpoint diameter <1.5 mm 12 may account for their observed relationship and the apparent discrepancy with our conclusion.
Our data suggest that neither the number of mutant alleles of SLC26A4 nor cochlear radiologic phenotype significantly affect longitudinal changes in hearing. Albert et al 14 reported a similar result. Although Madden et al 15 found that ears with monoallelic or biallelic SLC26A4 mutations are more stable than those with no mutation, the difference was not significant among ears with >36 months of follow-up. Our correlation of number of mutant alleles with severity of hearing loss but not longitudinal hearing changes may reflect an inadequate duration of follow-up in our study. We indeed observed a small but significant effect of duration of follow-up on the amount of deterioration in hearing in ears with less than severe hearing loss at baseline. It may also reflect the uncontrolled contribution of environmental factors (e.g., trauma) associated with changes in hearing in ears with EVA3.
We did not detect a significant relationship between the size of the air-bone gap (ABG) and either the number of SLC26A4 mutations, the presence of a cochlear anomaly, or the size of the vestibular aqueduct. The frequent association of EVA with ABGs and normal tympanometry is thought to reflect the existence of a third mobile window in the labyrinth 27. This theory is supported by the observation of abnormally low thresholds for the vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) in a subpopulation of children with EVA 28. The lack of correlation of VA diameter with ABG size does not invalidate this hypothesis because the midpoint diameter of the VA may not be mechanistically relevant to this model. We did not measure VEMP thresholds on a sufficient number of our subjects to test this hypothesis 28.
Our study indicates that the number of mutant alleles of SLC26A4 has a significant association with severity of hearing loss in ears with EVA. Furthermore, the presence of structural anomalies of the cochlea is not associated with more severe hearing loss when other covariates (e.g., genotype) are taken into account. This information will be useful for prognostic counseling of patients and families with EVA.

September 24, 2009 by USA Post
Namrata Shrestha SexTape, New Delhi, Sept 24, 2009: Namrata Shrestha sxtape is among the top searches on the internet. but the unabashed way in which she has accepted and shrugged it shows the changing face on Nepali society.
Twenty three year old Namrata Shrestha is a Nepali model, RJ, presenter and actress. She is known for her role in the romantic film Sano Sansar released in 2008 and her appearance in music videos.
Before moving on to silver screen, she was involved in theater acts and modeling (since 1997). She has also appeared on the cover of Wave Magazine , VOW Magazine & other magazines.
The Kathmandu Post on it's edition of February 21, 2005 mentioned Namrata as one of the top 5 models in Nepal.
She has also been featured in Nepali Entertainment portal Cybersansar.com
Namrata Shrestha was born on June 14, 1986 at Dharan, Nepal to a middle-class Newari family. She finished her college education at KIST in Kathmandu, Nepal. She started her modelling career in 1997.
She is an actress of Nepali movie Sano Sansar. Her upcomming film is Mero yeuta sathi chha.
A report on sex scandal says, "Parallels are being drawn between it and the Shrisha Karki scandal that erupted in 2002, creating a furore, intense social condemnation and even police action…In 2002, Shrisha, another aspiring starlet, committed suicide after a weekly published a report exposing the casting couch syndrome in Nepal's film industry which exploited Shrisha and other vulnerable newcomers like her…However, the nde photograph of Shrisha, published by the Jana Aastha weekly with its report on enforced prostitution in the Nepali film industry caused the young actress to commit suicide, triggering a backlash against the weekly…"I had to remain underground for one and a half years," says Kishor Shrestha, the 39-year-old editor of the weekly, who in 2002 faced a warrant for his arrest due to growing social outcry".

Quentin Tarantino's highly anticipated Django Unchained is set to screen for critics for the first time this weekend before opening on Christmas Day in the US, and in anticipation a brand new trailer has been revealed. Jamie Foxx is once again front and centre here as the titular character, explaining in voiceover that "in my world, you gotta get dirty. So that's what I'm doin'. I'm gettin' dirty", before dispatching a series of white folks with his pistol. The trailer mixes plenty of new footage — including some terrific new glimpses of Leonardo DiCaprio in wicked villain mode — with some we've seen before, and features a badass-sounding new song from Rick Ross as the blood sprays relentlessly. Whether or not this film could actually be the Oscar contender The Weinstein Company are obviously hoping for is questionable, but regardless of awards talk I'm loving everything I've seen so far and remain terrifically excited about this one.
As a bonus for gamers out there, you can check out a silly but fun Django Unchained game here.
Django Unchained is out December 25 in the US and January 24 in NZ. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz and Jamie Foxx alongside Gerald McRaney, Dennis Christopher, Laura Cayouette, M.C. Gainey, Don Johnson, Kerry Washington, RZA, Tom Wopat, James Remar, James Russo, Jonah Hill and Todd Allen. Watch the new trailer below (via The Playlist).

"Are you ready for Christmas? (or the Holiday)"
That's the famous lines seemingly being asked by everyone this time of the year.
Honestly, I don't know how to answer this as I have a different perspective of being ready.
Yes, our Christmas tree is up. FYI, in the tropic country such as Indonesia, people normally goes with the plastic fake tree not real ones. I miss the smell of fresh ones though.
When I was little, Christmas was all about performances in Sunday school and our church. Mothers would dress up their kids in special – usually newly bought – Christmas attires which meant lots of itchiness for me from my puffy skirts with laces and bow ties for the boys.
Christmas shopping? It's not a huge part of my upbringing. For us, Christmas presents are mostly for kids. I had beautiful childhood memories of Christmas when I was little of course but that custom changed as I got older.
Christmas means a whole month packed with family and church activities. Christmas celebration here, Christmas celebrations there…and by celebration I didn't mean the Christmas party where we watch someone else drank a little too much and attempt to belt out some Christmas tunes on top of a table. No, it was more of a religious celebration. A lot of prayers, a lot of singing Christmas carol in Indonesian language. No booze served.
Last year I still managed to push out some Christmas cards that went as far as London and Down Under to Australia for friends and families. This year, I'm skipping this part. Not because I'm lazy, not because I don't want to. I love getting Holiday cards in the mail – nothing beats that in this e-cards era. I just failed to 'get-ready' for Christmas.
This Christmas personally mean I am so thankful to have both parents at home. Their health has been a big concern for us lately so to see them smiling and getting better by the day is just what I wish for this Christmas. My heart is singing joyful tunes because of this, not from the boxes of presents brightly wrapped and sits under our Christmas tree. The true presents lies within my heart.
So, are you ready for Christmas/Holiday?

Am I ready? Not at all. But, I'll get ready. Eventually. It sounds like you are pretty much ready, so kudos to you! 🙂Reply

Thanks for sharing your Christmas story….I'm not totally ready yet, but getting there. Still have a bunch of gifts to wrap and would like to clean the house. For some reason, I feel like I need to have a clean house for Christmas. Maybe that's because my mom was the same way. 🙂Reply
Bicultural Mama recently posted..Dolphin Organics: Can't find it in nature, not in our products
Love this post. The true gifts "lie within my heart" – very beautiful!Reply
Merry Christmas……. Pheww….. I am not sure if I would be ready. We are going to have the party at our house this year. I am planning to make Indonesian yellow rice (as my hubby loves it, however, he is afraid to asks for it often, knowing that a lot of preparation needed to make this dish along its side dishes, so, he's so thrilled when I told him that I am going to make it). Still one gift to get. Just finished getting all the toys for our boys yesterday (had to make 3 trips to Target and one trip to Hyper Mart). And last nite when hubby decided to take all of us for a ride to see the Christmas light, we stopped at the mall close by our house. Matt visited Santa, and told him that he wanted a bike for Christmas (Oops…..bike was not in my shopping list. He still has one from Christmas 2 years ago). Still have to bake some cookies for the neighbors, and looking for mistletoe. Hope you have a nice Christmas.Reply
Hi Maureen,Reply
Just wanted to stop by and wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Cameroon: Cardinal endorses condoms for HIV married couples
Cardinal Christian Wiyghan Tumi has endorsed the use of condoms as a protective measure against HIV/AIDS, provided the couples using them are married. "If a partner in a marriage is infected with HIV, the use of condoms makes sense," the Archbishop of Douala said in an interview with the Deutsche Presse-Agentur. The 75-year-old cardinal said he agreed with the Vatican view that "loyalty and abstention remain still the best protection against AIDS." The latest data indicate that around 11 per cent of people in all Cameroon's provinces have HIV. Close to one million adults and children are currently living with HIV/AIDS and an estimated 210,000 children under age 14 have lost one or both parents to AIDS. Several church leaders have broken ranks with the Vatican's current position. Cardinal Georges Cottier, the theologian of the papal household, said the commandment "Thou shalt not kill" should be considered in cases where sexual activity involves a partner who is HIV-positive. Cardinal Javier Lozano Barragan, who chairs the Pontifical Council for Health, believes the use of condoms to be acceptable when abstinence is not an option. Bishop Kevin Dowling of Rustenburg, South Africa, and Archbishop Bonface Lele of Mombasa, Kenya, have expressed a similar view. Source: CISA

Discussion in 'TV Shows' started by mattCR, Oct 3, 2013.
Premieres tonight on the CW
Very strong premiere. Until tonight's episode, I hadn't realized how Originals-centric "The Vampire Diaries" had become. After Rebekah was written out in the first act, the show was able to move on and get on with it with a brisk pace and a renewed focus on the main cast.I'm intrigued by the mystery with Elena and Caroline's now-deceased roommate. I thought it was weird that the roommate looked exactly the same in the cellphone picture of her with Elena's dad, but then I realized that the first four seasons took place over only two years in story time, and it's probably still been less than three years since her parents died. Given all of the development surrounding the character, I was expecting her to gasp back to life in the morgue fingering a Gilbert ring.And not since Elizabeth Montgomery on "Bewitched" has an actress had so much fun playing personifications of naughty and nice on the same show. Human Katherine was a hoot, and she proves that she's still a survivor.
I thought the explanation of how the Gilbert ring works was very satisfying. It makes you think about how long Alaric had to wander the last few times the ring brought him back.
Yes, I think free of the Originals we're back to a lot of the things I loved about Season 1/2.
All of the Elena/Stefan stuff was ridiculously contrived, but I thought Bonnie's memorial service was very well done. Steven R. McQueen (still weird that he's Steve McQueen's grandson) and Katerina Graham acted the heck out of that scene.
I'm guessing that Katherine's daughter gave her some of her vampire blood before she swung by the Salvatore residence, since Katherine is never without a Plan B. That being said, I kind of hope not. One of the fascinating things about turning Katherine human is that it made a static character into a dynamic one; for over half a millennium, Katherine's been more or less locked into the terrified but manipulative damsel in flight that she was when she turned. Since becoming human again, she's shown real growth and change -- with the introduction of her daughter being a real game changer. I fear that all goes away if she's back to being a vampire.

Zaha Hadid: "…No end to experimentation"
The life's work of Zaha Hadid has been celebrated in two exhibitions in London, reviewed here by Colin Martin.
Dame Zaha Hadid's death in 2016, aged 65, was a significant loss to architecture. At year-end, a temporary exhibition of her early two-dimensional works and a new permanent museum exhibition designed by Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA), both in her adopted city of London, celebrated her prodigious talent.
An exhibition of her rarely seen drawings and paintings was held at Serpentine Sackler Gallery, a former gunpowder magazine in Kensington Gardens, which ZHA renovated and extended in 2013. Hadid graduated in mathematics from the American University in Beirut, before studying at the Architecture Association in London, so her practice was an apt choice for designing the mathematics gallery at the Science Museum.
"I believe that there's no end to experimentation," wrote Hadid. Emblazoned across a wall inside the Serpentine exhibition, this mantra was a fitting introduction to her drawings and paintings, which were made to explore her spatial ideas or to support competition entries.
The exhibition's genesis was the RIBA lecture she gave last February, marking her Gold Medal award, which included some early works. Planning for the exhibition commenced shortly before her death. Displayed in vitrines are pages from her bound and ring-bound notebooks and sketch pads filled with sketches and carefully executed drawings, made while exploring ideas for her buildings. They are both intricate and intimate, providing glimpses into how her ideas for speculative or specific buildings evolved.
The razor-sharp lines of her early abstract compositions, inspired by her admiration for early 20th-century Suprematist artists, give no hint of the spatial fluidity of her later designs, which defined her style internationally.
The stand-out room is filled with Hadid's dazzling drawings and paintings for a residential and leisure complex in Hong Kong (The Peak, 1983), including a painted building exploding in a Suprematist snowstorm of coloured confetti. Hadid's scheme won the competition but was not realised.
Other exhibits that remained on the drawing board include her designs for The Hague (Dutch Parliament Extension, 1978–1979), Dublin (Irish Prime Minister's Residence, 1979–1980), London (Grand Buildings, Trafalgar Square, 1985; Leicester Square, 1990), Berlin (Victoria City Aerial, 1988), Hamburg (Hafenstrasse Development, 1989), Madrid (Vision for Madrid, 1992) and Cologne (Rheinahafen Development, 1993). Foreshadowing digital rendering, these designs both celebrate drawing's historic power and confirm its continuing relevance for 21st-century architecture.
ZHA won the competition for the 913m2 Mathematics Gallery in 2014. "Our design was driven by how aircraft displace air when in flight," says ZHA's senior associate on the project Bidisha Sinha. Computer programming was used to visualise the 'flow' field around an important exhibit, a Handley Page aeroplane (1929), located centrally in the gallery and suspended from its ceiling.
The fluid dynamics of airflow is physically manifested in the gallery's floor plan. The aircraft is surrounded by complex, three-dimensional curved structures, made from rigid fabric. These provide the organising principle for displaying 100 exhibits thematically within the gallery space. Curved lines on its wooden floor subtly reinforce this principle and aid way-finding. Graduated coloured lighting is used in spatial definition within the gallery.
Zaha Hadid Architects' new mathematics gallery, the Winton Gallery, is a permanent exhibition at the Science Museum, London.

This incident in Vizag shows the continued craze and fan following of Chiranjeevi even it is a long time that he did a movie. A crazy fan who was under the influence of alcohol has cut his throat himself using a blade which created a ruckus at the theater.
This totaled man was very excited about the 150th movie of Chiranjeevi, Khaidi No 150 and wanted to enjoy the movie first day first show which he couldn't as the counter was out of tickets for the show. Disappointed, the fan cut his throat at Rama talkies of and created a scene there demanding the ticket for the show. Theatre management tried to take the bleeding fan to the hospital which the man denied.
Then the police came into the picture and control the man. But the fan stood to his demand of providing the ticket unless he wouldn't go to the medic. Somehow the police finally succeeded in shifting the crazy fan to hospital. The boss's one-man show Khaidi No 150 has got a good talk so far.
