Or has Sciclone just attracted a bunch of whiningtraders. Poor yoy almost "blooded" to death after thestock price fell to $20. Shorts & bashers are flockingto the message boards spreading garbage and pickingfights. What happened?No matter what happens tothe biotech sector as a whole, SCLN is for real. Theyare a real company with a real product that should beearning $.46/share by 12/2001. Factor in potentialearnings for 2002-2004 (possibly $1B/year,) & they shouldbe looking at a realistic PE of 150 - 200. This putsthe stock at the $70 - $90 range based on Zadaxinsales (in already approved countries) alone.Aslong as all news is good, there is absolutely noreason to sell. I don't know about the rest of you, but$70/share by 12/2001 sure sounds good to me! My personalgoal is 100% return per year. I only buy a stock if Itruly believe it will give me this kind of return at aminimum. $3,000 turns into $3M in 10 years at 100% returnper year. Do the math.Does anyone here reallybelieve that this stock won't be trading above $30/shareby next year at this time? If not, please sell yourshares now. Thanks again to mor2 for thewonderful website, samusaf & omni for the trading lessons,& to all the other 'real' longs out there forsupporting a good company that is saving lives. You will berewarded in due time!
Sorry slyder, this market has me a bit dense.
when SCLN went UP to 5 not too too long agoeverone was whooping and patting each other on the back.We were proud as punch as it climbed 6,7,8 9 andmade a couple of runs at 10 and then LEAPED into theteens. I think we were all amazed at our good fortune. Iknow that a lot of folks bought in recently on thehigh side betting that it would go to 100 in no timeflat, but that was not really an investment they weremaking, it was a looongshot gamble and for now they lostthe bet. In time if they stay long they will happilyrecover. The rest of us who got in in the 1's, be like me- damn happy to be invested in a great company nomatter what the stock market is doing short term.Cheers, RRRick
But SANDY does have a valid point. I bought thisat 17 while it was moving up. I never expected this!I did my DD on the company, and based on the waybiotechs were performing, SCLN looked like a screamingundiscovered jewel. Many things have changed, none of themwith SCLN, but with the market in general. At thispoint I do not think I will sell any shares, but itdoesnt hurt to consider other options.
I don't recall using the word LONG anywhere. If Idid it was just to identify myself as a non-shortpostion holder. I dont believe in being LONG on anystock. I'm in this to make money, not to proveendurance!!! I do own a position in SCLN. I recall saying Ineed 15 1/4 to break even. At that point (if it comes)I will decide my next course of action. For now Iam willing to wait a few more days. I will cut mylosses at 9 without question if it comes to that. Oh yesI remember what I was going to say, who the hellasked for your opinion anyway???????
ya schmuck sandy!!!!
All your posts are negative. I dont think anyonein their right mind would believe someone that islong would be negative in everyone of their posts. Youare saying you are long but encouraging everyone elseto sell their shares and invest elsewhere?? Thatdoesnt pass the giggle test.

Ms. Wheelchair America 2014 Jennifer Adams spoke to occupational therapy students about the "Inclusion Revolution" on Tuesday. The event was sponsored by the Belmont Student Occupational Therapy Association.
Adams is a successful 33-year-old businesswoman from Tacoma, Wash. She was born with partial limbs and has used a wheelchair her whole life. She grew up in a family of eight children after being adopted along with five of her siblings, all who had either Down syndrome or cerebral palsy.
"I believe that really set me up to grow up into the world with a view of diversity and to accept people from the inside first," Adams said. "I attribute a lot to my parents." Her adopted mother, Jeanne, is a family doctor in Chehalis, Wash.
The teasing she experienced in her youth led Adams to seek out ways to tell her story. For 17 years, she has been motivating others with her positive message. "We all have limitations," said Adams in a recent interview with her hometown newspaper, The News Tribune, "but if you press beyond your limitations, that's where fulfillment and life's purpose lies."
A radiant, high energy spokeswoman, Adams has experienced barriers to her passion in the mainstream art world due to her disability, but her goal is to encourage people to take their gifts and talents out into the world to break down barriers of discrimination. "When people with disabilities show the world our talents," she says, "disabilities dissolve and abilities shine forth."
Students in BSOTA are doctoral level students at Belmont in the School of Occupational Therapy, part of the Gordon E. Inman College of Health Sciences & Nursing.
Belmont University's School of Physical Therapy and Vanderbilt Bill Wilkerson's Pi Beta Phi Rehabilitation Institute (PBPRI) have received accreditation from the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) for their collaborative Neurological Physical Therapy Clinical Residency instituted last year.
The one-year residency is one of 23 programs of its kind in the United States to have achieved this status and is the only such program in Tennessee.
PBPRI is an outpatient interdisciplinary neurological rehabilitation program where physical therapists work in teams with colleagues in occupational therapy, speech-language pathology and social work to promote community re-entry and vocational and/or academic transitioning.
"Being the first neurological physical therapy residency program in Tennessee, we have the responsibility and the privilege to train the next generation of outstanding neurological clinical specialists," said Lisa Haack, Neurological Clinical Residency director, a PBPRI clinical staff member in physical therapy and a neurologic specialist.
Academic Residency Director Renee Brown, professor of Physical Therapy at Belmont University, said completion of the credentialing process is an affirmation of the program's commitment to its patients.
"We have had a long-standing working relationship with Vanderbilt and this new program is an extension of that partnership," Brown said. "We look forward to continuing to collaborate to train the next generation of physical therapy providers in the area of neurologic rehabilitation."
The Neurologic Physical Therapy Clinical Residency will be recognized during the Residency/Fellowship Career Development Reception at the 2014 Combined Sections Meeting hosted by the APTA.
"An important mission of both Belmont and Vanderbilt is to educate and train the next generation of leaders in health care," said Mike de Riesthal, director of the PBPRI. "The success of the collaborative residency program is a perfect example of this mission in action."
The Belmont University School of Physical Therapy was recognized as the "Outstanding Volunteer Group of the Year" at the annual Susan G. Komen Leadership Conference in Dallas, Texas last weekend. Susan G. Komen is a global leader in the fight against breast cancer with local affiliate offices in more than 120 locations in the U.S. and around the world. Each year the organization recognizes volunteers who demonstrate dedication, commitment, creativity, initiative and dependability.
The Belmont Physical Therapy students began their commitment to Susan G. Komen Greater Nashville two years ago when they volunteered as a group to manage the race course at the organization's annual Susan G. Komen Nashville Race for the Cure® event. The Belmont students utilize this opportunity to enhance the school's community involvement and establish teamwork within the physical therapy school.
Over 80 students participated the first year, but the school has created a continuous source of high quality volunteers by creating a kind of mentorship program. Once a student volunteers, she or he is expected to train, manage and support younger classmates through the volunteer process.
Belmont's involvement with Komen goes beyond race day and beyond its students. Students assist with packet stuffing and other duties prior to the event and have also challenged other university schools to put together volunteer teams that can equal their impact. Belmont faculty members also serve on Komen Greater Nashville board of directors and race committee. Finally, several of the school's athletics programs host Think Pink/Pink Out games each season to help raise needed awareness for breast health education in younger women and support those in the Belmont community affected by the disease.
"We are so proud that our volunteers were recognized as being the top in the country," said Patty Harman, executive director of the Komen's Greater Nashville Affiliate. "We know that our Race wouldn't be the same without them and that they make such a huge impact year-round. We're glad that everyone else now gets to see Belmont Physical Therapy as a benchmark for volunteerism."
Kenisha Rhone, media relations director for Women's Sports at Belmont accepted the award on behalf of the University. Rhone is an active volunteer for Komen Nashville and serves on the Race Coordinating Committee.
The Tennessee Economic Council on Women (TECW) continued its statewide hearing series on the subject of violence against women with a public hearing on Belmont's campus yesterday in the Massey Board Room. The "Public Hearing on the Economic Impact of Violence Against Women" is just one of the ways in which TECW is committed to providing unique, relevant information about women in the state.
The hearing, the fourth of nine, followed events in Chattanooga, Columbia and Crossville, which have identified millions in local costs and exposed a need for better prevention efforts and communication among local authorities, service providers and funding sources.
TECW Council Chair Yvonne Wood said, "We learned from our 2006 research that domestic violence was costing Tennessee millions every year from legal costs, healthcare costs, lost productivity and a tremendous burden on our social services system. The 2013 hearings are revealing that the trend is continuing and it erodes more than just the social fabric of our families, but also the economic strength of our state. "
Thursday's event was co-chaired by Dr. Mimi Barnard, Belmont's assistant provost for interdisciplinary studies and global education, who also serves on TECW.
Belmont University was more than a venue for this important event; the university sees the issue as one of significance. "We are honored to host this important event at Belmont. Raising awareness of the impact of violence against women can save lives and prevent immeasurable heartbreak," said Cathy R. Taylor, dean and professor, College of Health Sciences and Nursing at Belmont. Among other efforts in its continued commitment to understanding issue that impact women worldwide, Belmont also plans to host a local viewing of the film Girl Rising this fall.
Belmont University's Office of Advancement recently established the Clayton McWhorter Society, a giving society intended to further the work of Belmont's health science programs. The new group, which held its inaugural membership lunch on May 2, is named in honor of long-time Belmont supporter Clayton McWhorter and will directly benefit the College of Health Sciences & Nursing, the College of Pharmacy and the new MBA for Healthcare Professionals.
Clayton McWhorter's leadership and role in the development of healthcare industry giants HealthTrust, Inc. and HCA have made a strong impression in the field of healthcare. In 1996, Clayton, his son Stuart, and a close business friend created the venture capital firm Clayton Associates, which quickly evolved into a hub of strategic business development activities related to new firms in healthcare, technology and diversified services.
His relationship with the University began in the late '80s through an invitation from Jack Massey "to get involved with Belmont," and 25 years later, Clayton McWhorter continues his generous response to Massey's challenge through his support of a variety of programs and initiatives.
Belmont Vice President for University Advancement Dr. Bo Thomas said, "While Clayton's many achievements are based on sound business principles and bone-deep ethical standards, in the end it is his commitment to making a difference in the lives of others and giving back to the community that has sealed his enduring success and legacy. Belmont University counts itself fortunate to be among the many who have benefited from Clayton's generous spirit and friendship. Through the McWhorter Society, Clayton is now challenging others to 'to get involved with Belmont' just as Jack Massey encouraged him to do years ago."

Android Phone Blatantly Rips Off Apple
For years, China has been the de facto source for counterfeit
) products. From
fake iPhones
to a full-fledged
fake Apple Store
, the country is renowned for its shameless phony Cupertino
products that are sold to unsuspecting rubes looking for a deal.
But a new clone that blatantly rips off the unmistakable look and feel of an iPhone has put Japan on the fast track for fake Apple product supremacy. And it uses Google's ( GOOG ) mobile OS to boot!
Ladies and gentlemen, Minyanville is proud to present the ioPhone5, courtesy of the Japanese manufacturer Losys.
At a glance, the ioPhone5 looks exactly like the "unapologetically plastic" iPhone 5C, which was unveiled this past September. Boasting unextraordinary specs beneath a cheap-looking plastic case, the iPhone 5C didn't fly off the shelves quite as quickly as its more powerful cousin, the iPhone 5S. However, the device did generate enough buzz and its share of fans that it obviously inspired a smaller foreign outfit to ape its size, design, and name. Even the graphic design on the back of the ioPhone5 looks exactly like an Apple product, with a monochromatic arrow logo in the same spot as a half-eaten piece of fruit.
But the ioPhone5 -- man, that name! -- can't live up to the modestly specced iPhone 5C.
Running Android 2.2, the ioPhone5 sports a 480 x 854 resolution display, 512MB of RAM, a dual-core Mediatek chip, 4GB of flash storage, and a 2-megapixel camera -- putting it firmly in the low-range phone camp. Comparatively, the iPhone 5C also features a dual-core chip, but has a screen with 640 x 1136 pixels, roughly twice as much RAM, four times as much storage space, and an 8-megapixel camera.
So unless you love both Android and plastic with equal measure, you're better off getting the iPhone 5C.
But, wait! Before you make up your mind, perhaps this snappy promotional video -- which isn't afraid to rip off Abba either -- will sway you to the ioPhone5.
The ioPhone5 can be yours for a mere 15,490 yen (roughly $150).

It all depends. Many people with genotype 2 and 3 can take it with Ribaviran for only 6 months. People with genotype 1 and 4 usually 48 weeks. I been hearing that when the drug Telaprever comes out it may bring the treatment down to 6 months for everybody. Of course we must take the Telaprever with the Interferon and Ribaviran. The Interferon and Riba are the regular standard of care for Hep C right now and most new drugs that come out will be taken with those two.

Carolina Panthers Select Luke Kuechly
Read & React: Intelligent player who knows his keys and "feels" his way to the ball. Aggressiveness allows him to be fooled by those keys, like pulling guards, on misdirection and takes a false step forward on play action, but also recovers well and regularly sniffs out reverses and other trick plays to prevent big gains. Run defense: Constantly around the ball, fights traffic easily and steps into gaps instead of waiting for the ballcarriers. Tracks the ball to either sideline but needs perfect angles to beat NFL tailbacks to perimeter. Anchors and can stick bigger backs with lowered pads. Doesn't have elite size to stand up to NFL-caliber linemen, but regularly rips off blocks with strong hands and can make
plays even if initially knocked backward
Summary: Luke Kuechly has been one of the most productive players in college football, at any position, over the past two seasons. He set ACC and school records for career tackle totals with 532 stops. Even without a bowl game in 2011, he made 191 tackles with 12 tackles for a loss, three passes broken up and three interceptions. In 2010, Kuechly had 183 tackles (110 solo) with 10.5 tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and three interceptions.
Kuechly admittedly lacks special foot speed, but he makes up for it in instincts and intelligence. There is no doubt that he is a fabulous run defender who produces good down-and-distance situations for his defense. His read and reaction skills are top-notch. That allows him to get in position to make tackles near the line of scrimmage. Routinely, one would see Kuechly shed a block and make a tackle for a short gain.
Kuechly is extremely sound in pass defense. He does very well in zone coverage and is adept at reading quarterbacks' eyes. Kuechly has enough speed to get deep in his drops and cover more ground than one might think. While he was rarely called on to blitz, he showed some quality blitzing skills in limited opportunities.
Kuechly looks like one of the safest picks in the 2012 NFL Draft. He should be able to play immediately in the NFL, and before long, he could be one of the better run-defending linebackers in the NFL. Kuechly has the ability to play in a 4-3 or a 3-4 defense. Adding weight to help him fight off NFL blockers would be a good idea, especially if he were in a 3-4.

What is Plunder?
I've been putting out Plunder for a little more than a year now, and I love it. It is the story of dorks, by dorks, and for dorks. If I had to place Plunder into a single category it would probably be fantasy, but don't let that limit your expectation. There is a little bit of everything in Plunder to be enjoyed by everyone. I love the story, the characters, and I especially love my vision of where the comic can be in the next few years with the help of loving fans.
Why should you become a Plunder patron?
Your support on Patreon is all about helping Plunder reach that vision of the future, and you, the patrons, getting rewarded all along the way. I'm really excited about what Plunder can become with Patreon's help, and every rewards tier and milestone is all about giving back to you.

Fernandez to Speak at Beckman Symposium
- Details
- Published on June 07, 2013
A senior in the University Honors Program, Fernandez is one of UAB's three inaugural Beckman scholars. He is one of six students chosen from the nationwide pool of Beckman Scholars to present his research at the Beckman Symposium. Saad, who is representing the 15 Beckman UAB mentors at this year's symposium, will introduce Fernandez.

EVALUATION OF SUSCEPTIBILITY OF TTS IN MALES AND FEMALES IN RELATION TO LEFT-RIGHT EAR ASYMMETRY Jennifer Suzanne Puckett, M.S T. Newell Decker, Ph.D. Tom Carrell, Ph.D. University of Nebraska-Lincoln Lincoln, NE 68586-0731 INTRODUCTION After exposure to certain levels of noise, changes in hearing threshold can be permanently or temporarily observed. Both permanent and temporary hearing threshold changes have been shown to have an asymmetric affect on the right and left ears. Also, temporary reversible changes in threshold have been found to affect men and women differently. Left-Right Asymmetry Interaural hearing asymmetry has been analyzed in many studies of various populations with the conclusion that the right ear has slightly greater acuity than the left ear. Ward (1957), compared the median differences (left minus right) with two Wisconsin State Fair surveys and found median differences on the order of 2.4-3.4 dB between the two populations. According to Glorig (1958) the average inferiority of the left ear of males from a normal population is on the order of 2.8 dB at 4 kHz. The left ears of women were inferior to right at an average of 0.4 dB. Kannan and Lipscomb (1974) compared right and left ear hearing thresholds at frequencies of 2-6 kHz in five studies of a normal population. They concluded that the left ear had statistically significantly higher thresholds than the right at all frequencies tested in males. Females showed no significant difference in hearing thresholds between the ears. Rudin, Rosenhall, and Svardsudd (1988) studied the between ear difference of 987 males age 50 to 60 years. At high frequencies, the left ear was poorer by an average of 3 dB. Axelsson and Lindgren (1981) compared hearing thresholds between ears in 139 classical musicians exposed to occupational noise. They found that 88 musicians showed an asymmetry between ears greater than 15 dB at one frequency. They also found left ear to be worse in 52 of the 88 musicians, on the order of 3-5 dB poorer among the males and 1-5 dB poorer among the females. Pirila, Sorri, Jounio-Ervasti, Sipila, and Karjalainen (1991) also found the left ear to be on an average significantly worse than the right ear in populations exposed to occupational noise. In males, the left ear was twice as often the worse ear, and in females the corresponding ratio was 1.5. One obvious reason for the left-right asymmetry found in normal and occupationally noise exposed populations is the use of firearms. Shooting posture requires hand preference when determining side of shooting. The majority of the population is right handed, leaving the left ear to be exposed to greater amounts of impulse noise. Chung, Mason, Gannon, and Willson (1983) studied the left-right differences of a population of occupationally noise exposed subject but excluded the shooters. The average median, or left minus right, was 2-2.5 dB in males and 1 dB in females at 4 kHz. Pirila, Jounio-Ervasti, and Sorri (1991) conducted a study on the effect of handedness on hearing threshold asymmetry of normal populations. He concluded that handedness is not responsible for the inferiority of hearing in the left ear at 4 kHz, as the left ear was poorer in both right and left handed populations. Pirila, Jounio-Ervasti, and Sorri (1991) and Axelsson and Lindgren (1981) do acknowledge that there may be a possible link between threshold asymmetry and handedness in special populations such as shooters and certain musicians. The inferiority of the hearing threshold of the left ear at 4 kHz in various populations indicates that the left ear may be more susceptible to noise damage than the right ear. Pirila (1991) investigated the left-right asymmetry at 4 kHz in response to noise exposure of a normal population where shooters were excluded. Specifically, he compared the TTS of the left and right ears independently and experimentally confirmed that the TTS was on average greater in the left ear than in the right. From his study, and those of left ear hearing threshold inferiority at frequencies most susceptible to noise, he concluded that an asymmetry between ears may exist in susceptibility to noise damage. Gender Effects Ward (1966) measured TTS in normal hearing adults following exposure to low and high frequency noise. He hypothesized that differences in the fragility of the sensory structure on the basilar membrane existed. He found that significantly more TTS was observed in males after exposure to low frequency stimuli (700-1400 Hz bandwidth) and significantly more TTS was observed in women after exposure to high frequency stimuli (2800-5600 Hz bandwidth). There were no differences in TTS at the 1400-2800 Hz noise. Ward (1966) concluded that females have more efficient middle ear muscle systems. Strong contractions of the muscles to high intensity stimuli reduces low frequency transmission of sounds and enhances high frequency energy. From the above cited studies of various populations, it is known that an ear asymmetry exists in regards to hearing (Ward, 1957, Glorig, 1958, Kannan & Lipscomb, 1974, Rudin, Rosenhall, & Svardsudd, 1988, Axelsson & Lindgren, 1981, Pirila, Sorri, & Jounio-Ervasti, et al., 1991, Chung et al., 1983, & Pirila, Jounio-Ervasti, & Sorri, 1991). Temporary hearing changes to high frequency noise, or TTS, has been found to be greater in women than in men (Ward, 1966). One investigator (Pirila, 1991) found that within a subject pool of men and women together a left-right asymmetry also exists in TTS. Little investigation has followed on the amounts of TTS created in each ear or its asymmetry, and therefore few published comparable data are available. An important question is if similar to hearing thresholds, an ear asymmetry actually exists in TTS when the subject's gender is taken into account. It is possible that the conclusion that more TTS is created in the left ear (Pirila, 1991) may have only been accurate because 11 of the 16 subjects were females. This study investigated the effects of TTS with regard to gender as well as left and right ears independently. METHODS Subjects Subjects consisted of ten males and ten females. Subject criteria included individuals: 1) 19-29 years of age, 2) who had not used firearms, 3) who had pure tone thresholds no greater than 15 dB HL in the range of 250-6000 Hz, 4) who did not have a difference in left and right ears greater than 10 dB at the above frequencies 5) with normal middle ear status. Each subject was paid a small fee for participating in this research project. Stimulus Materials Prior to noise exposure, air conduction pure tone thresholds at 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 6000, and 8000 Hz were found using a Beltone 2000 audiometer with the left (blue) TDH-50P earphone and MX-41AR cushion. Following each one hour noise exposure period, pure tone hearing thresholds were obtained at 4000 Hz. Tympanometry was performed with a GSI 38 immittance system using a 226 Hz probe tone to screen for normal middle ear function. A steady-state uniformly distributed white noise with a peak to peak amplitude of 5 volts was created by TDT (Tucker-Davis Technologies) model WG1 waveform generator. The noise stimuli was then sent through a 9 kHz low pass filter followed by a mixer. The white noise was then routed to an 8 Ohm output Symetrix power amplifier with the left and right channels locked to deliver the same stimuli to both ears. The signal was then sent to each pair of Sennheiser - HD 520II circumaural earphones with 300 Ohm inputs (see figure for output spectrum measured at earphones). The stimuli was measured by a Micronta 22 - 175A true RMS voltmeter. 300 mV at each phone approximately equaled 91 dB SPL output for the white noise. Before each experiment the volume controls were set to supply approximately 300 mV at each pair of headphones. The actual measured variance at the headphones ranged from 89.6 - 93.3 dB SPL. Acoustic calibration was completed on the left supraaural earphone used for threshold testing and each set of circumaural earphones used for listening. The left supraaural phone was coupled to a 6cc artificial ear coupler and each pair of circumaural phones were coupled to a flat plate coupler. The coupler was connected to a 1 inch microphone on a Bruel & Kjaer Type 2235 sound level meter. Experimental Procedure Subjects participated in one session that lasted approximately four hours. Tympanometry was completed to verify normal middle ear status. Each subject was assigned a subject number and then seated in the sound booth where their pure tone air conduction thresholds were found for each ear twice using only the blue earphone. The testing sequence designated for all subjects was to first put the blue phone on their right ear and to push the signal button when they hear the tone. Then the tester would enter the booth and switch the blue phone to be on the left ear and re-instruct the subject. This process was then repeated once more, yielding two threshold values for each ear at each of the testing frequencies and the average of the two was used as the pre-exposure threshold. Two boxes containing directions were placed in the room. The first box was designated for females and the other for males. Each box contained five assignment directions for monitoring the right ear and five assignment directions for monitoring the left ear. After the subjects thresholds were obtained, each subject randomly drew a set of directions from the box corresponding to their gender. The subject's drawn directions were printed as follows: "THESE ARE CONFIDENTIAL DIRECTIONS AND MUST ONLY BE READ OR KNOWN BY YOU. KEEP THEM FOLDED AND WITH YOU THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TEST SESSION. RE-READ THEM IF YOU FORGET WHAT TO DO NEXT. You will be listening to a noise in both ears for a total of four hours. While listening you may sleep, read, or watch videos. After each hour has passed, the tester will interrupt listening and remove the headphones. You will then be quickly escorted back to the sound booth where you will sit down in the chair. Next you will place the earphones on your head with the BLUE phone on the ear designated by your printed directions. Again, push the button only when you hear the tone. When the tester signals you, remove the phones and return to your original seat. The tester will place the listening phones on your head to begin another one hour listening session. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS ALL FOUR TIMES THAT YOU ARE INTERRUPTED. After reading these directions, please sign your name and tear off the bottom portion at the perforated line and give it to the tester." At the end of the testing the subject will put their subject number and name on the outside of their directions and leave them with the tester. In some instances up to four subjects were scheduled per session. Each of the four were to begin listening to the stimuli at their designated time. Start times were separated by 15 minute time intervals. At the subject's start time the circumaural phones were placed on the subject with the right phone corresponding to the right ear. The white noise was then introduced binaurally. While listening the subjects were allowed to sleep, read, or watch videos. One hour after beginning exposure, subjects were interrupted and led to the sound booth. The door was closed and the subject was required to place the earphones on their head as specified by the directions they drew. The window in the sound room was covered to prevent tester bias. Threshold was found in descending 1 dB steps at 4000 Hz. Again, each subject responded by pushing a patient response button. The tester recorded the threshold of the unknown ear and the subject's number. Subjects removed the earphones before the examiner opened the door to the sound booth and the subject returned for the next period of noise exposure. The earphones were turned around from the previous session to ensure the same amount of noise energy was delivered to both ears. The entire process was repeated after each hour of listening for each subject. TTS Measurement Prior to noise exposure each subjects thresholds were found twice for each ear. After all subjects had been run, each subjects' pre- and post-exposure threshold form was compared with their drawn instructions to identify both the sex of the subject and ear that had been monitored. Following the ear identification, an average was found for each subjects' two pre-exposure thresholds. The changes in threshold, or amount of TTS, was found simply by figuring the difference between the pre-exposure average and thresholds after four hours of noise exposure. Data Analysis Thresholds prior to exposure and following exposure were arranged in a table for each subject. Subjects were arranged into three factors of gender with levels being male and female, ear with levels being right and left, and time (pre and post exposure) resulting in eight groups: Male-Right-Pre, Male-Right-Post, Male-Left-Pre , Male-Left- Post, Female-Right-Pre , Female-Right-Post, Female-Left-Pre, and Female-Left-Post. A three-way ANOVA with repeated measures was completed to assess statistical significance of gender and ear across time as well as the interaction effects of each (see Table 1). RESULTS Results from the analysis indicate that the factors of gender [F(1,16)=.697, p=.42] (Figure 1) and ear [F(1,16)=.003, p=.96] (Figure 2) were not statistically significant, although the factor of time was significant [F(1,16)=24.435, p=.0001] (Figure 3).

Average threshold in dBHL prior to and post exposure. CONCLUSIONS Asymmetrical TTS in regard to either gender or ear was not supported in this study. Although notable differences were present, statistical significance was not reached for these two factors. The data do show significant effects of time between pre and post exposure. The results of this study, its contradiction to the only known similar past study (Pirila, 1991), along with the absence of other literature and published work on TTS asymmetry implies the need for future research. Numerous studies on factors affecting TTS, such as smoking and caffeine intake of subjects being exposed to noise, could be monitored more closely.

Introduction to Opera
Thinking about going to the opera for the first time? All of us can be a little daunted by the prospect of experiencing a new art form. But there's no need to feel this way.
Opera Australia has plenty to offer the first time opera-goer, from Puccini's tragic love stories to laugh-a-minute Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. As well as all your opera favourites such as La Boheme and Turandot to choose from.
So if you're keen to kick start your love affair with great musical entertainment and make your first opera experience an enjoyable one, here's some of the ways you can do it:
Choose familiar operas
When choosing your first opera it's important to consider your familiarity with the story and the music. Many people will have heard the famous Toreador aria from Carmen or seen the stage production of Miss Saigon (based on the Madama Butterfly story). Opera Australia's website www.opera-australia.org.au has a page summary on each opera to help you decide.
Check the length
You don't want to be sitting through six hours of Wagner on your first visit so check the length of the show. Most operas are between two and three hours, with at least one interval, but some are even shorter.
Let the surtitles tell the story
There's no language barriers at the opera anymore with all performances presented with surtitles - instant English translations of the opera, projected on a screen above the stage. Even operas sung in English have surtitles so there's no need to worry about not understanding the story.
But I don't have anything to wear!
If you don't know what to wear, the answer is: dress comfortably. These days black tie and evening dresses are certainly not compulsory opera attire, although it can be fun to frock-up' occasionally.
Attend a Marconi Opera Talk and hear the stories behind the operas
Members of Opera Australias artistic team share their insights into each opera 45 minutes before selected Opera Australia performances. These informal, informative talks help you get the most out of your opera-going experience.
Become a subscriber
Opera Australia has specially designed packages for the first time opera-goer as well as great deals for those aged 30 years and under including Introduction to Opera' and Youth Subscription' packages.
Talk to the Box Office
Pop into the Opera Australias ticket services office, open from 9am 5pm Monday to Friday or the Sydney Opera House/Arts Centre box office, and ask to see the seating plan of the Theatre before purchasing your tickets. Box office staff can also advise which seats have the best surtitle views.
Become a friend of the opera
Join the Friends of Opera Australia program for a glimpse behind the stage curtain with opportunities to meet and hear from singers, conductors, musicians, directors and designers, plus access to dress rehearsals and discounted rush tickets.
Bring the Family or Friends
Theres no need to experience opera on your own with concessions available for full time students so you can bring along your friends. Pensioners also get concession so why not introduce Mum, Dad or your grandparents to the joys of opera!
Make a Day or Night of it
Saturday matinee performances start at 1:00pm in the afternoon. They are a great way to have lunch with your friends before the performance, or have dinner or a drink after the performance to discuss what you have seen. There are plenty of venues around the Sydney Opera House and Arts Centre to go to before and after the performance.
Standing room only/Restricted viewing seats
If you really want to do it cheaply, go to the box office for standing-room only or restricted-viewing seats. These tickets are on sale from 9am on the day of a performance for only $35. They cannot be purchased over the phone.
Student rush
If youre a student, Opera Australia also offers student rush tickets 30mins before the curtain goes up on selected performances for only $50. Student ID must be presented at the box office.
Dont get locked-out
Opera performances always start on time and late-comers arent allowed in to the theatre until an appropriate break in the production. This can range from five minutes to the end of the first act! Avoid lock-out by getting to the opera early have a drink or bite to eat at the theatre before the performance.
Call Opera Australia
If youre still unsure, call Opera Australia and have a chat to one of their experienced Customer Services Operators about which opera would best suit your level of operatic experience because its really important when experiencing opera for the first time to choose the right one.

Delta Air Lines raised many of its high-end, last-minute tickets by $4 to $10 per round trip.
The airline confirmed the increase on Tuesday. Other carriers said they had not matched it but didn't rule out a fare hike.
On Monday night Delta raised most of tickets sold with seven days of the trip, including first-class, instant-upgrade and unrestricted economy-class seats that are usually preferred by corporate travelers. Tickets that must be bought 14 or 21 days in advance were not affected; those seats usually cost less and appeal mostly to leisure travelers.
It was the first major price increase attempted since United boosted fares on most of its domestic seats by $10 per round trip two weeks ago. United rolled back its increase after Southwest Airlines declined to match it.
Jamie Baker, an analyst for J.P. Morgan who closely tracks airfares, said Delta may believe that an increase aimed at higher-priced seats stands a better chance of sticking even if discount airlines decline to go along.
Southwest, United, American, US Airways, JetBlue and Virgin America said as of Tuesday afternoon they had not raised prices.
Airlines raised base fares about a dozen times as jet fuel prices climbed in 2011 and early 2012. But the pace of fare increases slowed this spring as fuel prices fell and the economy remained weak. Meanwhile, the airlines frequently undercut the increases by running sales. Southwest launched a new one Tuesday.

I am a 25 year old Irish girl recently moved to Vienna. I first visited Vienna back in August 2011, fell in love with the city immediately and decided I needed to live here! I'm currently working as a marketing manager.
I was born to travel and love meeting new people from different backgrounds and cultures. My other passions are music (I can offer great advice if you are interested in checking out Vienna's music scene) cooking (also a wealth of information when it comes to eating spots in the city) and art (Vienna's museums are world famous, happy to give you list of my must-see favs!). Being Irish of course, with built-in homing device for bars and pubs, I've done my fair share of testing out some of the best venues in town, happy to make recommendations!

To nearly 24% of online buyers, the answer is "yes," suggest survey data from Bizrate Insights.
We've been hearing so much about same-day delivery that we thought we would delve into what customers really think, need, want—and will pay for.
It depends: Products sold, Price point and retail footprint are influential
Over 100,000 online buyers answered Bizrate Insights' question on whether or not same-day delivery from the retailer from which they just bought was important—and nearly 24% said "yes." Looking at the category level, you see Gifts & Flowers and Computer Software (for which purchases are often downloaded) among others driving demand. We also took a look at luxury and higher end apparel retailers with retail store locations available in many major cities and see above average demand for Same Day Delivery.
It depends: The availability of alternate choices
What online retailers also need to consider is how many customers balk or consider abandonment because same-day delivery is not offered. For those customers that completed their purchase online, nearly 6% considered going elsewhere to buy for same-day delivery if it wasn't already offered (n=79,904). For those customers who abandoned at the cart or checkout, only 1.1% did so because their order would not arrive in time for when they needed it.
Other Considerations: Order arrival timing vs. delivery costs
Once you get past the importance of the same-day delivery option and customers' consideration of abandonment, you are left facing the question of cost. Both the high cost of same-day delivery and which is more important to online buyers—cost or order arrival date—factor into demand. Overwhelmingly, of the nearly 130,000 online buyers we asked, most are more concerned with costs!
What are online buyers willing to pay for same-day delivery? And what do they expect to pay? Most customers expect to pay more ($27.01 on average) than they would like to spend ($21.56 on average).
The Bottom Line

40 year old woman | Morganville, NJ, USA | Seeking men 37-45 within 50 miles
Active within 3 days
Live life to the fullest.
I'm fun and carefree. Always up for new adventures. A goal in my foreseeable future is achieving financial freedom in my career, fiinding a companion to share, explore with and see where it takes me. I'm a family oriented person, blessed with a handful of good friends and loving family. My interests are varied becuase I'm an explorer and love the wealth that knowledge brings on any level. I'll try anything once, enjoy good conversation and like men that are not afraid to be themselves. I'm passionate about life. I think I've always let off that vibe and it's pleasantly contagious so whoever's with me is definitely catching that fever. In the last few years I've acquired the natural ability to change my perspective toward anything positive which results in blissfully living in the moments, keeping happy a constant mood. I'm always nurturing which draws children and sensitive people towards me. I absolutely love laughing and cannot live without it. I make people feel comfortable because I'm not shy to be silly and let loose so naturally I'll bring out the best in whomever I'm with, even people that are wound up too tight.The old clich?, Love, Life and laughter all suit me. I enjoy broadening my knowledge of anything, especially health. Don't mistake me for a health freak. I do love to indulge in excellent food. When I'm at Barnes N Nobles though I'll get excited about buying a book about foods that heal you :) I'm looking for a true companion to share absolutely everything with. Someone who wants to embrace a relationship and build an empire of Family, Love and great friendship. Someone who wants to learn how to live life to the fullest will make an excellent partner. A man who understands that no one relationship is perfect unless you don't feed it, there will never be a time it stops growing. Everyone wants the security in knowing they have someone who loves them unconditionally with all flaws. It takes some work and effort but if you want it you have to push yourself and make the time to get it.

Some other viewpoint
I've been fortunate to hav traveled at a young age to places like Bahamas, Brazil, Hawaii and Europe. As an adult, not so much but now that I've just become a Director for an Online Media company. The virtual world will hopefully allow me to do more.

One of my favorite movies was probably Something's gotta give with Jack Nicholsen and Diane Keaton. I love the eighties Movies and Music can't compare that era but I do enjoy an action flick and can jam to the oldies. Good at dancing and singing...
Anywhere by the ocean is where I'd choose to be over any other place.
I enjoy a varied gendre of book. Play Dead was the last book I read by Harlan Coben. I'm now reading the Final Detail.

Welcome to Narberth!
Narbearth day is coming!
NarbEarth Day
Next to the Library Map
The Narberth Civic Asssociation presents the 26th Annual NarbEarth Day, the fun family festival of environmentally friendly living and sustainability, a Narberth tradition since 1990. Free admission to all.
The Narberth Civic Association and open government
At the Council Caucus meeting of February 4, 2015, the NCA read into the official record:
The mission of the Narberth Civic Association (NCA) is to promote and facilitate citizen involvement in our Narberth community. The NCA encourages well-informed citizens to participate in an open and transparent governance of our community.
Therefore the Narberth Civic Association requests that Narberth Borough government post on its website its policies, practices and procedures regarding public access to government records.
Why did we do this?
The ongoing discussion about the future of downtown Narberth and the former gas station at 100 Forrest Avenue has demonstrated wide interest and disagreement among our neighbors. The discussion has often been characterized by speculation, assumptions, and the absence of facts. Frequently we've heard "How do I find that out?" and "Does anybody knows why (or what or where or when) that is?"
What do we want?
We've asked our borough council to post on Narberth borough's website: how do we get public information?
We believe they want what we're asking for. Our seven councilors are our neighbors, elected by us, and donate considerable time and effort to serve us, without pay. Our Guide to borough government clearly demonstrates that they advocate community participation and open information. It was produced in cooperation with and first drafted by our borough council members.
What's next?
Information fosters trust. Trust enables dialog, cooperation, participation. Informed participation builds a better community for all of us, Narbs and Nearbs, citizens and businesses. This is your Narberth Civic Association's mission and we will continue to work with our elected public servants to improve your access to information and lower barriers to your input and involvment.
Thank you for your support,
The NCA Board of Directors
A hundred years ago in Our Town

Stop the Spending? Why GCC leadership needs to peg public spending to oil
The GCC needs to peg its public spending firmly to oil prices in order to avoid endangering the fiscal equilibrium, an expert has warned.
"With respect to the oil rich GCC countries, one has to recall that after the growth revival ignited by the oil price increase of 2010-2011, public spending added to the growth momentum," said Paul Wetterwald, chief economist, Crédit Agricole Private Banking.
"This government support has to rely on firm oil prices if one does not want to endanger the fiscal and/or external equilibriums."
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE are safe with the current oil prices but Bahrain might not be able to achieve a fiscal surplus at the current rate.
The latest research report from Crédit Agricole indicated that GCC countries are primed for strong growth in the coming years supported by budget surpluses resulting from high oil prices.
"The hydrocarbon-based GCC economies displayed GDP increases high enough to define these countries as a pocket of above average growth," said Wetterwald.
"On the other hand, some improvements were spotted in countries where the activity had been deeply disturbed by the Arab Spring-like uprising."
But these countries also stand a risk of inflation, the report said.
"There is a link between growth and inflation, but the answer is not yet affirmative as to whether countries with the highest growth are the most prone to inflation," said Wetterwald.
"Iran tops the inflation league, followed by Egypt, Yemen, Turkey, Syria, Bahrain, Libya, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq, Morocco, UAE, Oman, and finally Algeria. This suggests that inflation tends to go hand in hand with social instability.
"One is tempted to assume that the rise in consumer prices ignite protests, generating a vicious circle where logistic issues stemming from large scale protests add to inflation," he said.

The children of the Mist
Through the valleys, softly creeping
'Mid the tree-tops, tempest-tossed,
see the cloud-forms seeking, peeping
For the loved ones that are lost.
Not for storm or sunshine resting,
Will they slacken or desist,
Or grow weary in their questing
For the children of the mist.
Where are those children hiding?
Surely they will soon return,
In the gorge again abiding
'Mid the myrtle and the fern.
Ah! the dusky forms departed
Nevermore will keep their tryst,
And the clouds, alone, sad-hearted,
mourn the Children of the Mist.
E'en the wild bush-creatures, scattered,
Ere they die renew their race,
And the pine, by levin shattered,
Leaves an heir to take his place.
Though each forest thing, forth stealing,
Year by year the clouds have kissed,
Vainly are those white arms feeling
For the children of the mist.
Dead the race, beyond awaking,
Ere its task was well begun;
Human hearts that throbbed to breaking
Are but dust beneath the sun.
Past all dreams of vengeance-wreaking,
Blown where'er the tempests list.
. . . . . . . .
But the cloud-forms still are seeking
For the children of the mist.
