- Conference date: 10–15 February 2008
- Location: Kolkata (India)
We discuss the problem of the formation of a large‐scale magnetic field in the accretion disks around black holes, taking into account the nonuniform vertical structure of the disk. The high electrical conductivity of the outer layers of the disk prevents the outward diffusion of the magnetic field. This implies a stationary state with a strong magnetic field in the inner parts of the accretion disk close to the black hole. The effects are considered of advection, radial gradients of pressure and radial drift velocity on the structure of accretion disks around black holes. Models with large accretion rate are presented, where there is no continuous local solution. Continuous solutions for advective disks exist for all accretion rates. Despite the importance of advection on it's structure, the disk remains geometrically thin.

Current training
Getting started: Analysing HILDA with Stata - February 2015
A hands-on introductory HILDA Survey training course will be held on 25-27 February 2015 at the University of Melbourne.
Course information
This 3-day training course is designed for people who are interested in using the HILDA Survey data but have not yet done so. It will take a descriptive research problem such as "What happens to single mothers who receive Parenting Payment Single? Do they stay on the program from one year to the next? Do they move to another income support program? Do they leave income support?" and go through all the steps necessary to answer this question. We begin with the HILDA DVD and assume participants have relatively little experience in working with large data sets. The training will then cover the following topics:
- Accessing the data
- Finding the right data
- Visualising the data
- Merging household and individual data
- Dealing with missing values
- Using imputed values
- Creating analysis variables from HILDA data
- Using weights
- Generating descriptive statistics in the panel context
- Understanding data patterns in the panel context
- Answering the question
There will be scope within the course to deal with individual questions which participants might have about data extraction and structure in panel data contexts.
Course instructors
The course will be presented by Professor Robert Breunig and Ms Nicole Watson.
Professor Robert Breunig is a member of the Crawford School of Public Policy at the Australian National University. His primary applied research interests are in analysing individual and firm behaviour, evaluating government tax and transfer programs and analysing large data sets.
Nicole Watson is part of the HILDA Survey team at the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research at the University of Melbourne. She has worked on the HILDA project since 2000 and has been involved in the sample design, weighting, imputation and overall survey management.
You do not need to have used the HILDA data or Stata before. You should have some experience with a statistical software package of some sort (eg. SAS, SPSS, Stata). While the course will be taught in Stata, SAS equivalent code will be provided.
Course details
Location: | University of Melbourne (lab to be advised) |
Date: | Wednesday 25 February to Friday 27 February 2015 |
Time: | 9.15am – 4.00pm |
Catering: | Lunch, morning and afternoon tea will be provided |
Fees: | $850 ($580 PhD and Masters students) |
Payment must be made within 5 working days of being placed on our tentative list to secure your place. Cancellations within 5 working days prior to the start of the training will not be refunded.
Future training opportunities
We have tentatively scheduled a 3-day course on "Panel Data Analysis Techniques with HILDA Examples" with Professor Steve Pudney (University of Essex) in November 2015.
If you would like to receive notifications of the Panel Data Analysis Techniques course and other training courses, please subscribe to the HILDA mailing list.
We may be able to conduct a special training session if you have a group of 10-15 people who are interested in HILDA training. Please contact Nicole Watson to discuss your request.
Past training information
To access links and information about our past training courses, including the course on Panel Data Analysis Techniques with HILDA Examples, please refer to our Past Training page.

Great product, was super easy to install & looks wonderful!
My box springs are low profile and have 12-13" drop so the typical bedskirt of course has to be altered. So easy to press and install. There is no way I can lift that heavy mattress for a regular bedskirt, so now I don't have to. Love the embroidery and lace. The ivory is sort of a buttery ivory. I bought it to go with a bedspread that would not reach the floor on the side that matters without being about 4" off the floor on the side that really didn't matter to anyone but me. Now, because I love to look at it so much, the side of the spread that didn't matter is now almost on the floor so I can see more of the skirt on the visible side. Because it is a bedspread and plenty long, I only used the side pieces, so now I can take a few stitches out of the end piece and put a curtain rod through it for a valance for the adjoining bathroom window. If I ever need it for an end piece on the bed, I'll just replace the stitches on the end. I am thoroughly pleased with this purchase. Overstock also provides excellent service.
This is the best bedskirt ever. So easy to adjust. I wish it came in more colors and fabrics.
Liked the bed skirt but we have an air mattress and this kind of skirt would not work. Needed a full base.
Sent wrong color, returned it and did not wait for right color as bed skirt isn't worth the price, quality wise.
Product is great But we ordered Taupe and receive white. Sent it back and got white again. Decided not to fight the system and kept the white. Probably will not order from O.com again.

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month
Pros:Decent build quality. Display is sharp and bright. Good buttons for gaming. Analog control pad is actually quite good(at first I was skeptical about that). Camera and music abilities are good enough for children. Most of the GBA games are playable. Battery lasts about 3 hours. Standard 3.5mm audio jack and mini-USB port, no special adapters needed.
Shiny blue color is a fingerprint magnet and looks cheap. SNES emulation sucks. I didn't find a way to adjust music volume when gaming(I have to go to music player to do that). Chinese manual only.
I bought this to my 5 year old daughter and she loves it. Great all-in-one device for a car trip. Good work JXD :)

Monday morning (9-12), I did an Examiner on-line column that was at least partly inspired by many of the posts I've read here while lurking.
I'm looking to get some thoughtful answers and observations, both here and in the feedback section below my column about why people carry defensive firearms.. There are some 6.2 million of us out there (more on the way in Wisconsin!) and as I note right up front, answers do not often get the reception they deserve.
Take a look at the questions I post in there and any answers you post here, please cut and past and post in the feedback section, too. Not everyone who follows my Examiner column is a member here (as you probably guessed!)

Medtronic Inc. was sued by managed-care company Humana for allegedly marketing its Infuse bone-graft product for uses that weren't approved by regulators and duping the insurer into covering those claims.
Medtronic paid doctors hundreds of millions of dollars to tout the safety and effectiveness of the Infuse product for a variety of spinal surgeries even though the Food and Drug Administration had limited its use to lower-back procedures, Humana said in a complaint filed Friday in federal court in Tennessee.
The suit comes less than a month after Fridley-based Medtronic agreed to pay $22 million to settle 950 suits over Infuse and said it was taking a charge of as much as $140 million to cover litigation costs linked to the product.
Medtronic officials "misrepresented the safety, efficacy and necessity of Infuse through fraudulent studies and peer-reviewed publications," Humana's attorneys said. "Humana justifiably relied on the misrepresentations" in paying claims on the product.
Medtronic called Humana's claims "baseless," saying the company listed health risks linked to Infuse on the product's label since it went on sale in the United States in 2002.
"Medtronic does not compensate physicians for the use or endorsement of our products, and disagrees with any suggestion to the contrary," Eric Epperson, a company spokesman, said in a statement.
Medtronic generated about $900 million in Infuse sales in 2011 alone, according to Louisville, Ky.-based Humana's complaint. "The vast majority" of Infuse sales were for unapproved, or off-label uses, according to the complaint.
Studies have shown that Infuse, which helps help bones heal after spinal surgery, has been found to pose an increased risk of cancer along with infections and male sterility. FDA officials warned surgeons not to use the product in cervical-spine procedures in 2008 after learning of complications in dozens of patients.

Military Families
Given that Virginia is home to some of the nation's largest and most important military installations, it is not surprising that the commonwealth's schools educate more military children than almost any other state. In nearly every community in Virginia, there are children with parents or guardians on active duty with the armed forces.
As of December 2012, the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) estimates that there are 75,403 school age, and approximately 233,778 total, military-associated children of active duty members in Virginia. For more information about the demographics of service members and their dependents, please see the 2012 Demographics: Profile of the Military Community (PDF) report published by the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense.
Virginia's public schools are committed to the care and education of the children of the men and women of our armed forces. By partnering with school liaison officers, military leaders, educators, and non-profit organizations, VDOE provides resources about the unique support needed for military service members and their families during all stages of transition and deployment.

They lost me for the same reason Skyrim lost me. Its just a reskinned game. DA 2's style strayed away from its original gameplay style to mimic mass effects style. Just like how when i started Skyrim it just played out like a medievil Fallout 3, wich is way better anyway | |
to me its this generations Invisible War. Decent game on its own, but a shell of nearly everything that made the first one great. Yes, its my biggest disappointment this gen. | |
Greatest game of all time. This game came at an excellent time for me, as I was recovering from playing this painfully terrible game called "Beyond Good And Evil HD". --- A Mod/Admin replied on 11/5/2011 6:06:56 PM: Telling other users to smell your ass is trolling. End of story. | |
DA2 is a game that is better than most people give it credit for, but it is still deeply flawed. I had alot of fun with the game and I enjoyed playing through it, but it has some issues that justify some of the hate that it gets. 1. First off, they should never have named this game DA2. It should have been called DA: Champion of Kirkwall. That alone would have erased some of the hate, as the people who played it wouldn't have been expecting DA Origins 2. 2. Recycled environments. I understand why they did it....severely limited dev time and all (less than 2 years), but that really is inexcusable. 3. And this is probably the worst offense, IMO. The story is screwed up in places. Bioware prides themselves (or at least they USED TO pride themselves) on their stories. So how in the world did they manage to screw this one up so badly? They talk about choices all the time, but at the end of the day, the same stuff happens anyway, regardless of the choices you made. The way they chose to go with it just wasn't right, IMO. Like I said, it was a good game, but it could have been great with another year or so in the cooker. Hopefully they will learn for their mistakes from this game and put that to good use in DA3. They better. Their reputation is on the line at this point. --- Alabama Crimson Tide: 2011-12 National Champions. ROLL TIDE ROLL!!! | |

The only thing I can legitimately agree that was poorly done was the overly repeated and uninspired environments. I am sure they did it to save money/time and crank the game out, but it really hurt the quality of the product. I feel like DA2 had much better gameplay than the first game, but the way it handled loot seemed a bit poor, and the story wasn't anything to write home about but did the job. However, I did really like the characters in DA2, except for Anders, and enjoyed the game as a whole. Varric is really a wonderful character, I especially liked when he embellished on his story and made himself into Rambo until they called BS on him. --- Playing - Far Cry 3, Black Ops 2, PSABR, Halo 4, Lego LOTR, Darksiders 2, Forza Horizon, Transformers FOC, DOA5, Game of Thrones, Skyrim, Resident Evil 6, MAA | |

One of the Twin Cities' oldest houses begins its next chapter with fresh caretakers. For them, it's a project, a "treasure hunt" and a jewel to be polished.
Age is just a number. Unless you're talking about real estate. Then age often means charm — and chores. A young couple knew they would get both when they went hunting for an old house.
"We started looking at fixer-uppers," said Elyse Dornhecker. "We both love historic homes."
On St. Paul's Upper Landing, they finally found the house they wanted to tackle. But this was no 1920s bungalow waiting for a few cosmetic updates. This was the ultimate fixer-upper: a big Greek Revival house built in 1851 — seven years before Minnesota became a state.
Dornhecker, who first spotted the house online, couldn't believe what she was seeing. "It was like stepping back in time," she said. "I loved it!"
She told Heath Jensen, now her husband, "We have to get into this! We have to put in an offer!"
"I said, 'Honey, I haven't even seen the house yet,' " Jensen said.
When they did get a look, Jensen's enthusiasm matched Dornhecker's. The Wright-Prendergast House, which had been in the same family for more than a century, was a 19th-century time capsule, filled with ancient marble fireplaces, stained-glass windows, Waterford crystal chandeliers and a pewter statue of Don Juan mounted on the newel post.
Even the vintage furnishings and artwork looked just as they had in decades-old photos the couple saw in the Minnesota Historical Society's online collection.
"The furniture has not moved since the 1920s," Dornhecker said. "It was like a museum."
The home's setting was just as period-perfect — a half-acre lot in Irvine Park, the city's first historic district and now a well-preserved enclave of Victorian-era homes.
They could see the house needed work: It didn't have a driveway or garage, but the mechanicals had been updated. And they couldn't resist its charm.
"They kept a lot of the integrity of the house," Jensen said.
In addition to the house, they bought much of the wood furniture inside, including a dining table with claw feet the size of softballs, plus some ancient taxidermy: an enormous elk mount that presides over the front staircase, and a pair of snipes in a shadow-box frame in the dining room.
"They've been on that wall for who knows how long," Dornhecker said.
The furniture they bought with the house gave them a good start on furnishing the place. But coming from a small apartment, they still needed more to fill 3,200 square feet. So before they moved in, they started scouring Craigslist for antique furniture. They brought sofas home to their apartment and had to stack them on end because that was the only way they'd fit.
While most people in their age bracket (Dornhecker is 28, Jensen is 34) crave the sleek midcentury modern pieces made popular on TV's "Mad Men," Dornhecker and Jensen looked for older pieces that fit their home's era, such as carved Eastlake chairs and curved Victorian sofas. When they went to pick up one Craigslist purchase, the seller seemed surprised to see such young buyers and said, "None of these kids want this stuff."
"We know," Dornhecker agreed. "And we're capitalizing on that."
It's not all Victoriana in their home. "We don't want it to feel like Grandma's house," she said. "We want a nice mix. Some stuff is a little industrial," such as their riveted-steel coffee table. They've also incorporated a few contemporary pieces, including the orange club chairs they brought with them from their apartment.

Black Rock Irish Stout
Rustic, very drink-able and grew on us quick.
Easily surpasses the benchmark for the style.
Beer Advocate Magazine, January 2011
The 'Black Rock' is a landmark for mariners at the outermost part of Dungarvan harbour, situated just between the Copper Coast and Helvick Head.
This is a full flavoured, smooth, dry stout that has been described on more than one occasion as "the way stout used to taste". Made from roasted barley which gives a rich, chocolatey flavour complemented by herbal hints and notes of vanilla and aniseed. This is a medium-bodied stout with a light carbonation and a smooth mouthfeel.
Ideally this stout should be served in the traditional south eastern way which is 'off the shelf' — ie. at room temperature.
Food Pairings: This stout can be enjoyed with robust meat dishes and also works great as a dessert beer. It is great to cook or bake with as it doesn't have the same bitterness as other stouts.
Cheese pairings: Stout and blue cheese is a classic pairing as you need something that will hold up to the strong flavour of the cheese. Also works with smoked hard cheddar and other fuller flavoured cheeses.

Endometriosis is a gynecological condition in which cells from the lining of the uterus (endometrium) appear and flourish outside the uterine cavity, most commonly on the membrane which lines the abdominal cavity, the peritoneum. The uterine cavity is lined with endometrial cells, which are under the influence of female hormones. Endometrial cells in areas outside the uterus are also influenced by hormonal changes and respond in a way that is similar to the cells found inside the uterus. Symptoms of endometriosis are pain and infertility. The pain often is worse with the menstrual cycle and is the most common cause of secondary dysmenorrhea. Endometriosis was first identified by Baron Carl von Rokitansky in 1860.[1]
Endometriosis is typically seen during the reproductive years; it has been estimated that endometriosis occurs in roughly 6–10% of women.[2] Symptoms may depend on the site of active endometriosis. Its main but not universal symptom is pelvic pain in various manifestations. There is an established association between endometriosis and infertility.[2] Endometriosis has a significant social and psychological impact.[3]
There is no cure for endometriosis, but it can be treated in a variety of ways, including pain medication, hormonal treatments, and surgery.[4]
A major symptom of endometriosis is recurring pelvic pain. The pain can range from mild to severe cramping or stabbing pain that occurs on both sides of the pelvis, in the lower back and rectal area, and even down the legs. The amount of pain a woman feels correlates poorly with the extent or stage (1 through 4) of endometriosis, with some women having little or no pain despite having extensive endometriosis or endometriosis with scarring, while other women may have severe pain even though they have only a few small areas of endometriosis.[5] Symptoms of endometriosis-related pain may include:[6]
Throbbing, gnawing, and dragging pain to the legs are reported more commonly by women with endometriosis.[7] Compared with women with superficial endometriosis, those with deep disease appear to be more likely to report shooting rectal pain and a sense of their insides being pulled down.[citation needed] Individual pain areas and pain intensity appears to be unrelated to the surgical diagnosis, and the area of pain unrelated to area of endometriosis.[citation needed]
Endometriosis lesions react to hormonal stimulation and may "bleed" at the time of menstruation. The blood accumulates locally, causes swelling, and triggers inflammatory responses with the activation of cytokines. This process may cause pain. Pain can also occur from adhesions (internal scar tissue) binding internal organs to each other, causing organ dislocation. Fallopian tubes, ovaries, the uterus, the bowels, and the bladder can be bound together in ways that are painful on a daily basis, not just during menstrual periods.[citation needed]
Also, endometriotic lesions can develop their own nerve supply, thereby creating a direct and two-way interaction between lesions and the central nervous system, potentially producing a variety of individual differences in pain that can, in some women, become independent of the disease itself.[5]
Many women with infertility may have endometriosis. Among women with endometriosis, up to 30% to 50% may experience infertility.[8]
Other symptoms include diarrhea or constipation,[7] chronic fatigue,[9] nausea and vomiting, headaches, low-grade fevers, heavy and/or irregular periods, and hypoglycemia.[10]
In addition to pain during menstruation, the pain of endometriosis can occur at other times of the month. There can be pain with ovulation, pain associated with adhesions, pain caused by inflammation in the pelvic cavity, pain during bowel movements and urination, during general bodily movement like exercise, pain from standing or walking, and pain with intercourse. But the most desperate pain is usually with menstruation and many women dread having their periods. Pain can also start a week before a menstrual period, during and even a week after a menstrual period, or it can be constant. The pain can be debilitating and the emotional stress can take a toll.[11]
Current research has demonstrated an association between endometriosis and certain types of cancers, notably some types of ovarian cancer,[12][13] non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and brain cancer.[14] Despite similarities in their name and location, endometriosis bears no relationship to endometrial cancer.[citation needed]
Endometriosis often also coexists with leiomyoma or adenomyosis, but studies that look into similarities and differences between endometriosis and adenomyosis have conflicting results.[15] A 1988 survey conducted in the US found significantly more hypothyroidism, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune diseases, allergies and asthma in women with endometriosis compared to the general population.[16]
Complications of endometriosis include internal scarring, adhesions, pelvic cysts, chocolate cyst of ovaries, ruptured cysts, and bowel and ureteral obstruction resulting from pelvic adhesions.[17] Endometriosis-associated infertility can be related to scar formation and anatomical distortions due to the endometriosis.
Ovarian endometriosis may complicate pregnancy by decidualization, abscess and/or rupture.[18]
Pleural implantations are associated with recurrent right pneumothoraces at times of a menstrual period, termed catamenial pneumothorax.[citation needed]
Genetic predisposition plays a role in endometriosis.[19] Daughters or sisters of women with endometriosis are at higher risk of developing endometriosis themselves; low progesterone levels may be genetic, and may contribute to a hormone imbalance.[20] There is an about 6-fold increased incidence in women with an affected first-degree relative.[21]
It has been proposed that endometriosis results from a series of multiple hits within target genes, in a mechanism similar to the development of cancer.[19] In this case, the initial mutation may be either somatic or heritable.[19]
Individual genomic changes (found by genotyping including genome-wide association studies) that have been associated with endometriosis include:
In addition, there is a weaker association with changes in the fibronectin gene as well as in the 2p14 region of hromosome 2.[22]
In addition, there are many findings of altered gene expression and epigenetics, but both of these can also be a secondary result of, for example, environmental factors and altered metabolism. Examples of altered gene expression include that of miRNAs.[19]
Several studies have investigated the potential link between exposure to dioxins and endometriosis, but the evidence is equivocal and potential mechanisms are poorly understood.[25] In the early 1990s, Sherry Rier and colleagues found that 79% of a group of monkeys developed endometriosis ten years after exposure to dioxin. The severity of endometriosis found in the monkeys was directly related to the amount of TCDD (2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin – the most toxic dioxin) to which they had been exposed . Monkeys that were fed dioxin in amounts as small as five parts per trillion developed endometriosis. In addition, the dioxin-exposed monkeys showed immune abnormalities similar to those observed in women with endometriosis.[26] A similar follow up study in 2000 observed similar findings.[27] In 1994, Drs. Frederick Yves Bois and Brenda Eskenazi wrote in the Environmental Health Perspectives journal titled Possible Risk of Endometriosis for Seveso, Italy Residents: An Assessment of Exposure to Dioxin stating that women who are sensitive to exposure may have a greater risk of having this condition.[28] However, a 2004 review of studies of dioxin and endometriosis concluded that "the human data supporting the dioxin-endometriosis association are scanty and conflicting,"[29] and a 2009 follow-up review also found that there was "insufficient evidence at this moment" in support of a link between dioxin exposure and women developing endometriosis.[30] A 2008 review by Rier, however, concluded that more work was needed, stating that "although preliminary work suggests a potential involvement of exposure to dioxins in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, much work remains to clearly define cause and effect and to understand the potential mechanism of toxicity."[31]
Aging brings with it many effects that may reduce fertility. Depletion over time of ovarian follicles affects menstrual regularity. Endometriosis has more time to produce scarring of the ovary and tubes so they cannot move freely or it can even replace ovarian follicular tissue if ovarian endometriosis persists and grows. Leiomyomata (fibroids) can slowly grow and start causing endometrial bleeding that disrupts implantation sites or distorts the endometrial cavity which affects carrying a pregnancy in the very early stages. Abdominal adhesions from other intraabdominal surgery, or ruptured ovarian cysts can also affect tubal motility needed to sweep the ovary and gather an ovulated follicle (egg).
Incidences of endometriosis have occurred in postmenopausal women,[32] and in less common cases, girls may have endometriosis symptoms before they even reach menarche.[33][34]
While the exact cause of endometriosis remains unknown, many theories have been presented to better understand and explain its development. These concepts do not necessarily exclude each other. The pathophysiology of endometriosis is likely to be multifactorial and to involve an interplay between several factors.[19]
Broadly, the aspects of the pathophysiology can basically be classified as underlying predisposing factors, inflammation, metabolic changes, formation of ectopic endometrium, and generation of pain and other effects. It is not certain, however, to what degree predisposing factors lead to metabolic and inflammatory changes and so on, or if metabolic and inflammatory changes or formation of ectopic endometrium is the primary cause. Also, there are several theories within each category, but the uncertainty over what is a cause versus what is an effect when considered in relation to other aspects is as true for any individual entry in the pathophysiology of endometriosis.[19] Inflammation is a central part of the aetiopathology and causes pain.[35] Also, pathogenic mechanisms appear to differ in the formation of distinct types of endometriotic lesion, such as peritoneal, ovarian and rectovaginal lesions.[19]
The main theories for the formation of ectopic endometrium are retrograde menstruation, müllerianosis, coelomic metaplasia and transplantation, each further described below.
The theory of retrograde menstruation (also called the implantation theory or transplantation theory)[36] is the most widely accepted theory for the formation of ectopic endometrium in endometriosis.[19] It suggests that during a woman's menstrual flow, some of the endometrial debris exits the uterus through the fallopian tubes and attaches itself to the peritoneal surface (the lining of the abdominal cavity) where it can proceed to invade the tissue as endometriosis.[19]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (April 2012) |
While most women may have some retrograde menstrual flow, typically their immune system is able to clear the debris and prevent implantation and growth of cells from this occurrence. However, in some women, endometrial tissue transplanted by retrograde menstruation may be able to implant and establish itself as endometriosis. Factors that might cause the tissue to grow in some women but not in others need to be studied, and some of the possible causes below may provide some explanation, e.g., hereditary factors, toxins, or a compromised immune system. It can be argued that the uninterrupted occurrence of regular menstruation month after month for decades is a modern phenomenon, as in the past women had more frequent menstrual rest due to pregnancy and lactation.
Retrograde menstruation alone is not able to explain all instances of endometriosis, and it needs additional factors such as genetic or immune differences to account for the fact that many women with retrograde menstruation do not have endometriosis. Research is focusing on the possibility that the immune system may not be able to cope with the cyclic onslaught of retrograde menstrual fluid. In this context there is interest in studying the relationship of endometriosis to autoimmune disease, allergic reactions, and the impact of toxins.[37][38] It is still unclear what, if any, causal relationship exists between toxins, autoimmune disease, and endometriosis. There are immune system changes in women with endometriosis, such as an increase macrophage-derived secretion products, but it is unknown if these are contributing to the disorder or are reactions from it.[39]
In addition, at least one study found that endometriotic lesions are biochemically very different from artificially transplanted ectopic tissue.[40] The latter finding, however, can in turn be explained by that the cells that establish endometrial lesions are not of the main cell type in ordinary endometrium, but rather of a side population cell type, as supported by exhibitition of a side population phenotype upon staining with Hoechst dye and by flow cytometric analysis.[19] Similarly, there are changes in for example the mesothelium of the peritoneum in women with endometriosis, such as loss of tight junctions, but it is unknown if these are causes or effects of the disorder.[39]
In rare cases where imperforate hymen does not resolve itself prior to the first menstrual cycle and goes undetected, blood and endometrium are trapped within the uterus of the woman until such time as the problem is resolved by surgical incision. Many health care practitioners never encounter this defect, and due to the flu-like symptoms it is often misdiagnosed or overlooked until multiple menstrual cycles have passed. By the time a correct diagnosis has been made, endometrium and other fluids have filled the uterus and fallopian tubes with results similar to retrograde menstruation resulting in endometriosis. The initial stage of endometriosis may vary based on the time elapsed between onset and surgical procedure.
The theory of retrograde menstruation as a cause of endometriosis was first proposed by John A. Sampson.
Most endometriosis is found on these structures in the pelvic cavity:[citation needed]
Bowel endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women with endometriosis, and can cause severe pain with bowel movements.[citation needed]
Endometriosis may spread to the cervix and vagina or to sites of a surgical abdominal incision.[citation needed]
Endometriosis may also present with skin lesions in cutaneous endometriosis.
Less commonly lesions can be found on the diaphragm. Diaphragmatic endometriosis is rare, almost always on the right hemidiaphragm, and may inflict cyclic pain of the right shoulder just before and during a menstrual period. Rarely, endometriosis can be extraperitoneal and is found in the lungs and CNS.[45]
A health history and a physical examination can lead the health care practitioner to suspect endometriosis. Use of pelvic ultrasound may identify large endometriotic cysts (such as endometrioma). However, smaller endometriosis implants cannot be visualized with ultrasound technique.
Laparoscopy, a surgical procedure where a camera is used to look inside the abdominal cavity, is the only way to officially diagnose endometriosis as it permits lesion visualization, unless the lesion is visible externally, e.g. an endometriotic nodule in the vagina. If the growths are not visible, a biopsy may be taken to determine the diagnosis.[46] Surgery for diagnoses also allows for surgical treatment of endometriosis at the same time.
Although doctors can often feel the endometrial growths during a pelvic exam, and these symptoms may be signs of endometriosis, diagnosis cannot be confirmed by exam only. To the eye, lesions can appear dark blue, powder-burn black, red, white, yellow, brown or non-pigmented. Lesions vary in size. Some within the pelvis walls may not be visible, as normal-appearing peritoneum of infertile women reveals endometriosis on biopsy in 6–13% of cases.[47] Early endometriosis typically occurs on the surfaces of organs in the pelvic and intra-abdominal areas. Health care providers may call areas of endometriosis by different names, such as implants, lesions, or nodules. Larger lesions may be seen within the ovaries as ovarian endometriomas or "chocolate cysts", "chocolate" because they contain a thick brownish fluid, mostly old blood.
Frequently during diagnostic laparoscopy no lesions are found in women with chronic pelvic pain, a symptom common to other disorders. In order to avoid invasive diagnosis and potentially life-threatening complications of laparoscopy, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of intramuscular injection of Lupron (3.75 mg each month) as the effective diagnostic method.[citation needed] If the chronic pelvic pain was apparently reduced or relieved with Lupron, the diagnosis is established. Note that Lupron is not approved by FDA for the treatment of endometriosis due to its long term side effects (bone loss, menopausal symptoms, low estrogen state, etc.) Most gynecologists in USA will not give Lupron as the diagnostic method for more than three months. Indeed, this approach may delay diagnosis and surgery may in any case be necessary to excise lesions.
Surgically, endometriosis can be staged I–IV (Revised Classification of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine).[48] The process is a complex point system that assesses lesions and adhesions in the pelvic organs, but it is important to note staging assesses physical disease only, not the level of pain or infertility. A person with Stage I endometriosis may have little disease and severe pain, while a person with Stage IV endometriosis may have severe disease and no pain or vice versa. In principle the various stages show these findings:
Endometrioma on the ovary of any significant size (Approx. 2 cm +) must be removed surgically because hormonal treatment alone will not remove the full endometrioma cyst, which can progress to acute pain from the rupturing of the cyst and internal bleeding. Endometrioma is sometimes misdiagnosed as ovarian cysts.
An area of research is the search for endometriosis markers.[49]
A systematic review in 2010 of essentially all proposed biomarkers for endometriosis in serum, plasma and urine came to the conclusion that none of them have been clearly shown to be of clinical use, although some appear to be promising.[49] Another review in 2011 identified several putative biomarkers upon biopsy, including findings of small sensory nerve fibers or defectively expressed β3 integrin subunit.[50]
The one biomarker that has been used in clinical practice over the last 20 years is CA-125.[49] However, its performance in diagnosing endometriosis is low, even though it shows some promise in detecting more severe disease.[49] CA-125 levels appear to fall during endometriosis treatment, but has not shown a correlation with disease response.[49]
It has been postulated a future diagnostic tool for endometriosis will consist of a panel of several specific and sensitive biomarkers, including both substance concentrations and genetic predisposition.[49]
Typical endometriotic lesions show histopathologic features similar to endometrium, namely endometrial stroma, endometrial epithelium, and glands that respond to hormonal stimuli. Older lesions may display no glands but hemosiderindeposits (see photomicrograph on right) as residual.
Immunohistochemistry has been found to be useful in diagnosing endometriosis as stromal cells have a peculiar surface antigen, CD10, thus allowing the pathologist go straight to a staining area and hence confirm the presence of stromal cells and sometimes glandular tissue is thus identified that was missed on routine H&E staining.[51]
Limited evidence indicates that the use of combined oral contraceptives is associated with a reduced risk of endometriosis.[52]
While there is no cure for endometriosis, there are two types of interventions; treatment of pain and treatment of endometriosis-associated infertility.[53] In many women menopause (natural or surgical) will abate the process.[54] In women in the reproductive years, endometriosis is merely managed: the goal is to provide pain relief, to restrict progression of the process, and to restore or preserve fertility where needed. In younger women with unfulfilled reproductive potential, surgical treatment attempts to remove endometrial tissue and preserving the ovaries without damaging normal tissue.[55]
In general, the diagnosis of endometriosis is confirmed during surgery, at which time ablative steps can be taken. Further steps depend on circumstances: a woman without infertility can be managed with hormonal medication that suppress the natural cycle and pain medication, while an infertile woman may be treated expectantly after surgery, with fertility medication, or with IVF. As to the surgical procedure, ablation (or fulguration) of endometriosis (burning and vaporizing the lesions with a pointy electric device) has shown high rate of short-term recurrence after the procedure. The best surgical procedure with much less rate of short-term recurrence is to excise (cut and remove) the lesions completely.
Conservative treatment consists of the excision (called cystectomy) of the endometrium, adhesions, resection of endometriomas, and restoration of normal pelvic anatomy as much as is possible.[56] Laparoscopy, besides being used for diagnosis, can also be used to perform surgery. It's considered a "minimally invasive" surgery because the surgeon makes very small openings (incisions) at (or around) the belly button and lower portion of the belly. A thin telescope-like instrument (the laparoscope) is placed into one incision, which allows the doctor to look for endometriosis using a small camera attached to the laparoscope. Small instruments are inserted through the incisions to remove the endometriosis tissue and adhesions. Because the incisions are very small, there will only be small scars on the skin after the procedure, and all endometriosis can be removed, and women recover from surgery quicker and have a lower risk of adhesions.[57] 55% to 100% of women develop adhesions following pelvic surgery,[58] which can result in infertility, chronic abdominal and pelvic pain, and difficult reoperative surgery. Trehan's temporary ovarian suspension, a technique in which the ovaries are suspended for a week after surgery may be used to reduce the incidence of adhesions after endometriosis surgery.[59][60]
Conservative treatment involves excision of endometriosis while preserving the ovaries and uterus, very important for women wishing to conceive, but may increase the risk of recurrence.[61]
Endometriosis recurrence following conservative surgery is estimated as 21.5% at 2 years and 40-50% at 5 years.[62]
A hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) can be used to treat endometriosis in women who do not wish to conceive. However, this should only be done when combined with removal of the endometriosis by excision, as if endometriosis is not also removed at the time of hysterectomy, pain may still persist.[63]
For women with extreme pain, a presacral neurectomy may be very rarely performed where the nerves to the uterus are cut. However, this technique is almost never used due to the high incidence of associated complications including presacral haematoma and irreversible problems with urination and constipation.[63]
Cochrane Menstrual Disorders and Subfertility Group Specialised Register, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library), MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO. Reference lists of included trials were also searched and experts were contacted to identify additional trials. The updated review included four randomized control trials (RCT) involving 334 patients. - one RCT for evaluation of pain relief with pentoxifylline, and three RCTs for evaluation of improved clinical pregnancy rates with pentoxifylline. For the outcome of clinical pregnancy, a low level of heterogeneity was found among RCTs, demonstrated by I2 of 0% and Chi2 of 1.59. The results of the original review published in 2009 remain unchanged in the 2012 update. No relationship was found between reduction in pain and pentoxifylline use at any visit (one month: MD -0.36, 95% CI -2.08 to 1.36; two months: MD - 1.25, 95% CI -2.67 to 0.17; three months: MD -1.60, 95% CI - 3.32 to 0.12). There was no significant increase in the odds of clinical pregnancy in the pentoxifylline group as compared with the placebo group (OR 1.54, 95% CI 0.89 to 2.66) [3]. This study concludes that there remains insufficient evidence to support the use of pentoxifylline for the management of premenopausal women with endometriosis for relief of pain symptoms or to improve fertility rates. [68] Current American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) guidelines do not include immune-modulators, such as pentoxifylline, in standard treatment protocols.[69]
The overall effectiveness of manual physical therapy to treat endometriosis has not yet been identified.[73]
There is no evidence to support the notion that nutritional therapy is effective in the management of endometriosis. Research in Italy has suggests that removal of gluten from the diet can ease the pain of 75% of the women with endometriosis, however the study was flawed as it was not randomised and lacked a control group.[74]
Efficacy studies show that both medicinal and surgical interventions produce roughly equivalent pain-relief benefits. Recurrence of pain was found to be 44 and 53 percent with medicinal and surgical interventions, respectively.[20] Each approach has advantages and disadvantages.[42] Manual therapy showed a decrease in pain for 84 percent of study participants, and a 93 percent improvement in sexual function.[75]
The advantages of medicinal intervention are decreased initial cost, therapy can be modified as needed, and effective pain control.[citation needed] Its disadvantages are common adverse effects, unlikely improvement in fertility, and limitations on the length of time some can be used.[citation needed] Evidence on how effective medication is for relieving pain associated with endometriosis is limited.[53]
The advantages of surgery are demonstrated efficacy for pain control,[76] it is more effective for infertility than medicinal intervention,[55] it provides a definitive diagnosis,[55] and surgery can often be performed as a minimally invasive (laparoscopic) procedure to reduce morbidity and minimize the risk of post-operative adhesions.[77] Efforts to develop effective strategies to reduce or prevent adhesions have been undertaken, but their formation remain a frequent side effect of abdominal surgery.[58]
The advantages of physical therapy techniques are decreased cost, absence of major side-effects, it does not interfere with fertility, and near-universal increase of sexual function.[75] Disadvantages are that there are no large or long-term studies of its use for treating pain or infertility related to endometriosis.[75]
In case of infertility in a woman with endometriosis, surgery is more effective than medicinal intervention.[55] For this purpose, surgery attempts to remove endometrial tissue and preserving the ovaries without damaging normal tissue.[55] In addition, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures are effective in improving fertility in many women with endometriosis.
Proper counseling of women with endometriosis requires attention to several aspects of the disorder. Of primary importance is the initial operative staging of the disease to obtain adequate information on which to base future decisions about therapy. The woman's symptoms and desire for childbearing dictate appropriate therapy. Not all therapy works for all women. Some women have recurrences after surgery or pseudo-menopause. In most cases, treatment will give women significant relief from pelvic pain and assist them in achieving pregnancy.[78]
The underlying process that causes endometriosis may not cease after surgical or medical intervention. Studies have shown that endometriosis recurs at a rate of 20 to 40 percent within five years following conservative surgery,[79] unless hysterectomy is performed or menopause reached. Monitoring of women consists of periodic clinical examinations and sonography.
Vaginal childbirth decreases recurrence of endometriosis. In contrast, endometriosis recurrence rates have been shown to be higher in women who have not given birth vaginally, such as in Cesarean section.[80]
Endometriosis can affect anyone with a uterus, from premenarche to postmenopause, regardless of race or ethnicity or whether or not they have had children. It is primarily a disease of the reproductive years.[81] Its prevalence varies, but 6–10% is a reasonable number, more common in women with infertility and chronic pelvic pain (35–50%).[2]
As an estrogen-dependent process, it can persist beyond menopause and persists in up to 40% of women following hysterectomy.[82]

Generate a random number generator for beta deviates
This functionality does not run in MATLAB.
stats::betaRandom(a, b, <Seed = n>)
stats::betaRandom(a, b) returns a procedure that produces beta deviates (random numbers) with shape parameters a > 0, b > 0.
The procedure f := stats::betaRandom(a, b) can be called in the form f(). The return value of f() is either a floating-point number or a symbolic expression:
If a and b can be converted to positive floating-point numbers, then f() returns a random floating-point number between 0.0 and 1.0.
In all other cases, f() return the symbolic call stats::betaRandom(a, b)().
Numerical values of a and b are only accepted if they are positive.
The values X = f() are distributed randomly according to the beta distribution with parameters a and b. For any 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, the probability that X ≤ x is given by
Without the option Seed = n, an initial seed is chosen internally. This initial seed is set to a default value when MuPAD® is started. Thus, each time MuPAD is started or re-initialized with the reset function, random generators produce the same sequences of numbers.
Note: In contrast to the function random, the generators produced by stats::betaRandom do not react to the environment variable SEED. |
For efficiency, it is recommended to produce sequences of K random numbers via
f := stats::betaRandom(a, b): f() $ k = 1..K;
rather than by
stats::betaRandom(a, b)() $ k = 1..K;
The latter call produces a sequence of generators each of which is called once. Also note that
stats::betaRandom(a, b, Seed = n)() $ k = 1..K;
does not produce a random sequence, because a sequence of freshly initialized generators would be created each of them producing the same number.
The function is sensitive to the environment variable DIGITS which determines the numerical working precision.
We generate beta deviates with parameters a = 2 and :
f := stats::betaRandom(2, 3/4): f() $ k = 1..4
delete f:
With symbolic parameters, no random floating-point numbers can be produced:
f := stats::betaRandom(a, b): f()
When a and b evaluate to positive real numbers, the generator starts to produce random numbers:
a := 1: b := 2: f() $ k = 1..4
delete f, a, b:
We use the option Seed = s to reproduce a sequence of random numbers:
f := stats::betaRandom(1, 3, Seed = 1): f() $ k = 1..4
g := stats::betaRandom(1, 3, Seed = 1): g() $ k = 1..4
f() = g(), f() = g()
delete f, g:
a, b |
The shape parameters of the beta distribution: arithmetical expressions representing positive real values. |
Seed |
Option, specified as Seed = n Initializes the random generator with the integer seed n. n can also be the option CurrentTime, to make the seed depend on the current time. This option serves for generating generators that return predictable sequences of pseudo-random numbers. The generator is initialized with the seed n which may be an arbitrary integer. Several generators with the same initial seed produce the same sequence of numbers. When this option is used, the shape parameters a and b must be convertible to positive floating-point numbers at the time when the random generator is generated. |
The implemented algorithm for the computation of the beta deviates uses gamma deviates x, y to produce a beta deviate x/(x + y). For more information see: D. Knuth, Seminumerical Algorithms (1998), Vol. 2, p. 134.

Where ya been? You're late. If you want to find out about yesterday, you need to call!!
Good afternoon, was tired this morning, I worked kind of hard yesterday so I slept a little longer this morning. Well how did it go for you yesterday? was it good news? or no news at all. Evidently your trip was good because you are back, thank goodness.
You were made by God and for God-and until you understand that, life will never make sense.
It didn't go all that well, however, I'm not going to discuss this over the 'net as it gets rather personal. I realize that you want to keep your identity a secret, but if you really want to know, you need to call. Thank you for understanding my point of view.
How are you today? I hope you have a super Thursday.
Well thank you very much, I wish for you to have a great day also, and a better one tomorrow. I am doing great today, most of my work has been caught up and I am now coasting. I can hardly believe that it is already December, but it is. Are you going to be in the Parade tomorrow? if so what group will you be with. Take care my friend.
I will be at the parade watching my son in the Cub Scout float. I'll being hanging out some of the time around Eggs-n-tricities and then to the Sippin' Cow area. I'm glad your work is caught up, relax and enjoy the day.
I'm going in for more testing at the hospital tomorrow. I don't know if I'll be at the parade.
I am so sorry to learn of this. I hope everything will turn out good for you and your family. Are you going to Savannah or Charleston for the test, and what time do you have to be there. Take care.
I'll be in Chas. for a spinal tap and myelograms. I have to check in at noon.

Re: Mary's mother's name/birth place?
Hello. I was wondering if anyone has information regarding Mary Taylor Carnahan's mother's name and/or birth place. I'm curious as to Mary's ancestery(i.e., she looks to be partially Native Indian). I would very much like to know this information!!
Thank you,

I believe this women you mentioned in your post is one of my relatives. I wanted to reply before I lost the page and will go back and double check the name for sure. I am on Ancestry.com and My Heritage.com also. I remember the photo on the tree but will check it again. Write to me in the meantime please, we are also looking for photos to go with the names on the tree. Thanks, Elizabeth Rogers (born Taylor).

10 Most Profitable Banks Trading Below Book Value
8. Citigroup
Shares of Citigroup (C - Get Report) closed at $42.16 Thursday, returning 7% in January, following a 51% gain during 2012. Last year's performance reversed a 44% slide in 2011. The shares at the end of January were down 11% since the end of 2010.
Citi's shares trade for 0.8 times tangible book value, and for 8.1 times the consensus 2014 EPS estimate of $5.18. That is, by far, the lowest forward P/E for any of the stocks discussed here. The consensus 2013 EPS estimate is $4.60.
The company's 2012 ROA was 0.57%.
Mosby says that "Citigroup is trading below tangible book value because of their distressed assets within Citi Holdings." When Citi "can correct those issues and get full credit for their balance sheet, you can start to expect the stock to close the gap to tangible book value," he says.
Citi Holdings is the subsidiary into which the company placed troubled and non-core assets as part of former CEO Vikram Pandit's "good bank/bad bank" strategy for right-sizing the company's balance sheet. Citigroup's current CEO Michael Corbat, who was elevated to that position in October, previously headed Citi Holdings, and has indicated his desire to accelerate the wind-down. Citi Holdings had $156 billion in assets as of Dec. 31, declining from $269 billion at the end of 2011 and $359 billion at the end of 2010. Corbat quickly made his mark, when Citigroup in early December announced plans to lower its expenses by $900 million in 2013, with savings expected to increase to $1.1 billion in 2014, with annual revenues expected to decline by less than $300 million. The measures included 11,000 employee layoffs and the closure of 84 branches. After Citigroup announced its fourth-quarter earnings -- including a $1 billion charge for expenses tied mainly to the layoffs -- Mosby said in a report on Jan. 18 that the "results highlighted a further reduction in potential future losses from Citi Holdings and improving core profitability." The analyst estimated that excluding Citi Holdings, main Citigroup subsidiary Citicorp's return on tangible common equity was between 13% and 14%. According to Mosby, "this level of core profitability should eventually warrant a 20% to 30% premium to tangible book value, not a discount." Mosby's price target for Citigroup's shares is $55.00.
