The purpose of this paper is to familiarize physicians with the problem of hearing impairment in children. The incidence of impaired hearing in our population is not accurately known. Various surveys, however, indicate that 5% to 10% of the population is affected.1 The incidence of hearing loss is higher in adults than in children. It is estimated that 50% of all adult hearing problems had their origin in childhood and most middle ear problems could have been avoided if adequate treatment had been provided at the onset of the pathological change in the middle ear.This paper will describe the types of hearing loss encountered in children together with their etiology, diagnosis, medical and surgical treatment, and rehabilitation.
Types of Hearing Loss
A child with a hearing impairment has either a conductive, a sensorineural, or a mixed conductive-sensorineural type of hearing loss.A conductive or middle ear hearing

Mayor Rawlings gets what he wants: Mary Suhm will resign as city manager but remain a city employee until January
Last month, after eight years as Dallas' city manager, Mary Suhm announced her surprise decision to resign effective July 1. But she won't actually clean out her desk at Dallas City Hall until January 8.
That's according to a resolution the Dallas City Council will vote on Wednesday, when it will officially name First Assistant City Manager A.C. Gonzalez the interim city manager and boost his salary to $250,000. Suhm will cede the title of city manager on July 1, but that's it: She'll keep her same salary ($305,000) and benefits, and "report to and assist the Interim City Manager as needed," according to the resolution.
At the request of Mayor Mike Rawlings, Suhm will have plenty to do between now and her eventual farewell.
Chief among her duties will be preparing the 2014 budget, which the council must approve by September 18. On Wednesday the council will be told there's a $22.7-million gap between forecast revenues and expenses for the next fiscal year. But those are very preliminary numbers: Suhm said Saturday that "at this point in the process we always like to be conservative with revenue, especially since we won't see property tax revenues until July 25. I don't see any sense in making promises we can't keep, so we'll wait to see where we are."
She said revenues are increasing as the economy improves, but "there won't be a lot of adds except in critical areas" — referring, for now, street repairs and adding some police officers and 911 call takers.
"But I don't think there will be any cuts either," she said, noting there's some "frustration in not being able to restore what we'd like to restore."
She will present her proposals for a balanced budget on August 7. Actually, for the first time in almost a decade, Gonzalez will present the budget to the council. But it will be covered in Suhm's fingerprints.
"A.C.'s been in all the budget meetings, so it's not necessarily my budget," she said. "It's the council's too, since they make their suggestions along the way. But this is one of the reasons I'm staying … The timing is right to do it this way."
The budget's far from her only concern: Rawlings has also asked Suhm to coordinate the city's part of the memorial planned in Dealey Plaza to mark the 50th anniversary of President John Kennedy's assassination. She will also help with the planning of the U.S. Conference of Mayors' 2014 meeting, which will take place in Dallas next June 20-22. It will be the first such gathering of the nation's mayors here since 1965.
Suhm said she will also "develop a go-forward time line on the Trinity River Corridor Project and [do] anything else A.C. or the mayor need me to do" before she leaves City Hall on January 8.
Rawlings crafted the plan that keeps Suhm in place until then, and said Saturday morning that he chose the projects that remain on Suhm's to-do list.
"These were my things I felt she could best do for the city," he said. "She has put many budgets together, and I didn't want her to hand it over midstream to A.C. She knows the Trinity better than anyone, and as we move forward we've got to simplify this for the public and the council and make sure everyone knows exactly what we're doing. And these two other events have a high, high profile."
Council members Dwaine Caraway, Sheffie Kadane and Monica Alonzo, who are leading the search committee for the next city manager, assembled the piece involving Gonzalez's promotion — be it temporary or permanent. Rawlings said Gonzalez has indicated he wants the top job, but the mayor said there will still be a nationwide search for a city manager "to see who's out there."
Gonzalez will receive not only a raise, but an additional $165,000 if someone else is hired. After all, said Rawlings, there is no guarantee Gonzalez would go back to his old job, since he could be hired or fired at the new city manager's discretion. Rawlings said that puts the current first assistant city manager in "an awkward position," and that the $165,000 is "our way of giving A.C. some monetary security for the performance, because we can't give him a long-term contract."
Since May 22, the council has been briefed on the proposal three times behind closed doors in advance of Wednesday's vote. After Wednesday's vote, Gonzalez will then go to council and lay out his plans for the City Manager's Office, including who will assume his duties, which involve overseeing the Dallas Police Department, Dallas Fire-Rescue, the courts system and aviation.
The mayor said he knew Suhm wasn't long for the job almost since the day he took office on June 27, 2011, and did everything he could to put it off for as long as possible.
"When I became mayor, early on I talked about her plans for her life, her career, and I knew deep down I wouldn't be able to keep her for four years," Rawlings said hours before the runoff elections that will see two more city council members elected to the horseshoe. "I was hopeful she would stay as city manager through the rest of the year, but she had some personal things and thought it was the right thing to do to step down in the middle of the year, especially with a new council coming in. When I realized that, I went with the second-best plan, which allows her to focus on these important projects for the remainder of the year without the full responsibilities of being the city manager."
When Suhm's done, she said, she's done — and without any idea of what's next. As far as she's concerned, the resolution eases her transition from 30-plus years in the public sector to a private life. It will help her cope with "an interesting set of feelings" that come so close to the finish line.
But, she said, "I'll still be there to answer questions, like, 'What did y'all do in 1864 when this first came up?'" She laughs. "Someone actually came into my office while we were working on the Kennedy commemoration and said, 'Mary was here during the assassination,' and I was like, 'No she wasn't.' I don't know if I was personally insulted or professionally upset at their math skills."

Compared to last year, both our order and our injury count were nearly double.
In fact we were joking we needed to put up an "hours without incident" count. HA! I'd ended up with a sprained wrist and wore a wrist guard for most of the week. And in a valiant effort to save a falling loaf pan, my sister used a David Beckham style soccer kick and ended up with a bruised foot.
Other minor issues followed...
Perhaps it was the lack of sleep. Or perhaps we were just hungry. Probably it was both.
On one of those super long on-our-feet, pie-filling-in-our-hair kinda days, Patrick brought us nourishment from an Afghani restaurant in San Carlos. Our favorite order there is a sweet pumpkin dish called Kadu that is served with a savory meat and yogurt sauce alongside perfectly cooked basmati rice. It's one of those pumpkin dishes that I can eat any time of year but tend crave it intensely when the temperatures drop and the leaves begin to change color.
And since Monday was the last day we had off before heading back to work (I believe some folks call it... vay-cay-tion), I was determined to spend it at home and wanted a comforting meal to top it off. With Thanksgiving just behind us, and no pumpkin on hand, I turned to our favorite substitute... butternut squash.
While not complicated to prepare, this dish takes time, mostly due to the slow roasting of the squash. Don't make this dish if you want dinner in 30 minutes. This is more of a lazy Saturday (or in my case Monday) type of recipe.
Perhaps following a marathon of American Pickers and shoeless gardening (okay let's just be real... I was in my pajamas, at noon...deal with it). I'd given the tomato plants a good pruning, harvested the dwindling remnants of the little yellow lollipop fruits, and transplanted a few succulent starters. (Btw, if anyone wants to trade succulent cuttings let me know!).
These heirlooms were my favorite planting I'd done over the summer. I've been sneaking them into recipes all season long, and this recipe is no exception. But feel free to use your favorite tomato in their stead.
Oh, and another thing... since we've been among the many who've overindulged this season, we are going back to more of a Paleo meal plan. So we made this recipe Paleo by using olive oil instead of canola oil and coconut sugar as the sweetener. Small changes... No bigs.
Madhava Natural Sweeteners was kind enough to send us some of their organic coconut sugar to play around with. The sugar has a texture that is more along the lines of caster sugar and smells more like a light brown sugar. The back of the bag also says it works as a 1-1 substitute for regular cane sugar so I'm excited to try baking with it.
It was perfect for this recipe because of the deep molassesy nature of the sugar. If you can believe it, we actually used a third less sugar than the recipe initially called for and it was still wonderfully sweet.
Once the squash went into the oven, I started on the duo of sauces immediately. If you do the yogurt sauce first and get it out of the way, by the time the second sauce is simmering and just beginning to thicken, the squash will be done and ready to serve hot.
I'm convinced of the restorative properties of warm squash, "brown" sugar, and meat sauce. It's a dish that heals, comforts, and satisfies from within.
Days without incident? Six and counting!
butternut squash with yogurt and meat sauce, paleo & gluten free
Adapted from Habeaus Brulee's recipe for Kaddo Bourani
servings: 6 to 8
for the pumpkin:
for the yogurt sauce:
for the meat sauce:
to make the butternut squash:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the course skin from the squash and slice lengthwise in half. Quarter each section lengthwise so that you end up with eight pieces per squash. Place strips in a single layer at the bottom of a glass baking dish. Coat with olive oil and sprinkle with coconut sugar. Cover with foil and bake for 1.5 hours.
to make the yogurt sauce:
Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
to make the meat sauce:
Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet or dutch oven on medium heat. Brown onions, about 8-10 minutes. Add ground beef, garlic, tomatoes, and spices. Cook for 5 minutes, then add tomato paste and water. Turn the heat up to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally. Once butternut squash is done, add remaining juices to the sauce. Simmer until the liquid reduces by about 2/3, about 30 to 45 minutes.
Serve the dish by layering the sauces atop the butternut squash.

The kadu at Kabul is my all-time favorite. Once I figure out how to make their spinach and cauliflower dishes, I'll be all set. :)
Charissa Fleischer replied on Permalink
Yes! Love those too. The Lawand (i think is how you spell it)... is also a fav.

Pipeline Leak Spotlights Threats to the Archaeoecology of the Ohio Valley
On March 17, a man strolling through the Oak Glen Nature Preserve along the Great Miami River noticed a patch of black crude oil in an intermittent stream bed. Within a week the Environmental Protection Agency estimated the spill from BP's Midvalley Pipeline (operated by Sunoco) at 500 barrels or about 21,000 gallons, with no knowledge as to how long it had been leaking from a five-inch crack in the 20-inch diameter pipe.
The news got fair media play as one of a foreboding series of U.S. pipeline leaks in the run-up to a White House decision on Keystone XL, but the story was overshadowed by a much larger spill in Texas that same week. Surely, many wondered what an oil pipeline was doing in the middle of a tiny "nature preserve" in suburban Ohio.
Neglected in the media coverage, the Midvalley Pipeline also runs right through one of the most sensitive archaeological zones in North America, where an oil spill could contaminate ancient earthworks irreparably. The pipeline hugs the east bank of the Great Miami, one of four river valleys in southern Ohio that hosted thousands of burial mounds and earthworks that are between 1500 and 3000 years old. For reasons of its own—probably the association of the east with resurrection—the Adena Civilization built most densely along the east banks of north-south oriented rivers, exactly where the Midvalley Pipeline is located.
One of the largest known earthen enclosures, adjacent to a prominent Adena burial mound, lies just three miles north of the March spill site along the pipeline. Because the river has meandered in its floodplain and many works survive in eroded barely-visible form, many other unidentified ancient earthworks and associated burial sites may line the pipeline route.
Ironically, Sunoco reported the spill early on the morning of March 18, the same day that a consortium of conservation groups acquired the Junction Group earthworks, another Adena site in southern Ohio, for long-term preservation.

No. 19 Syracuse beats No. 17 Pittsburgh in Big East quarterfinals
NEW YORK -- A poor opening half kept Pittsburgh from having a chance at a last long run in the Big East tournament.
The 17th-ranked Panthers fell behind by 13 points at halftime and even a tough run near the end of the game wasn't enough to avoid a 62-59 loss to No. 19 Syracuse Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament.
The fourth-seeded Panthers used a 10-3 run to get within 58-57 with 30 seconds left but Syracuse guard Michael Carter-Williams didn't miss from the free-throw line to keep the fifth-seeded Orange in front to the end.
"Obviously, we're disappointed in the loss, but I'm proud of how our guys fought back in the second half," Panthers coach Jamie Dixon said. "We obviously dug a hole for ourselves in the first half, but I could see how hard we played and the effort.
"Simply put, the first half we didn't play our defense. That dug the hole for us. That's why we were where we're at and why we weren't able to make up the 13-point deficit."
James Southerland and Carter-Williams kept Syracuse's run at one more title going at Madison Square Garden.
Both schools are leaving for the Atlantic Coast Conference next season. They didn't disappoint the sellout crowd, providing one last great game before they head south.
"We know that this means a lot to us, as a basketball team and as a program," Syracuse's Brandon Triche said. "This can very much jump start us to the (NCAA) tournament. So we know how important this Big East tournament is."
The fifth-seeded Orange (25-8) advanced to the semifinals against top-seeded Georgetown, which is one of the seven Catholic schools that have left their football counterparts behind in an attempt to have a basketball-centric conference.
Southerland had a second straight great effort from 3-point range and Carter-Williams scored Syracuse's last seven points against Pittsburgh in a game in which the final 1 minute, 15 seconds was a great way for the programs to play one last time in the Big East.
"We were prepared to come into this tournament and win," Pittsburgh's Tray Woodall said. "I was disappointed, but I guess now we've got to focus on the NCAA tournament. As you saw in the second half, we played our style of basketball."
Southerland had 20 points as he did in the second-round win over Seton Hall and again almost all the points came from beyond the 3-point arc. The senior forward was 6-for-6 on 3s against Pittsburgh. Carter-Williams had 11 points and seven assists, taking over for the Orange over the closing minutes.
Lamar Patterson had 14 points and 11 rebounds for the fourth-seeded Panthers (24-8), who will certainly receive an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament but won't be able to add a third Big East title.
"Obviously, we wanted to win this tournament, and now we're going to be going home, and it's disappointing," Dixon said. "I think that was really the main focus of ours, we were here to win today and win this tournament. ... We were focused on winning this tournament, and we were focused on winning this game, and now we've got to go focus on getting ready for the NCAA tournament."
With Southerland hitting five 3s, the Orange took a 40-27 halftime lead. Pitt cut the lead to four points twice, and a 10-3 run got the Panthers within 58-57 with 30 seconds to play.
Talib Zanna had a chance to tie the game, but missed the free throw that would have completed a three-point play.
"I saw a lot from our guys," Dixon said. "I saw what our team is made of in that second half."
Syracuse, which was 9 of 15 from 3-point range against Seton Hall, was 12 of 19 (63.2 percent) from there against the Panthers. The Orange came into the game ninth in the conference in 3-point shooting at 32.0 percent.
C.J. Fair, who was 3 of 5 on 3s, had 13 points for the Orange, who have won three of their last seven. Triche added 12 points for Syracuse, which has won five Big East titles, the last in 2006.
Woodall had 12 points for Pittsburgh, which had been to the championship game seven of the last 12 years.
"It obviously came down to last possessions and plays," Dixon said. "I think it was a game that pretty much every one of ours has been like against Syracuse over the years. We've been here 14 years. This game isn't too much different. I think this is why it's been the best league, and games like this typify that."
Pittsburgh had won nine of the last 11 meetings with Syracuse.

An Edison man pleaded guilty today in connection to the 2007 stabbing death of a man during a fight outside a Somerset County home.
John Lee, 40, pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter and possession of weapon in the death of Jeffrey Johnson, 45, of New Brunswick. Lee was expected to stand trial for murder next month in Superior Court in Somerville.
Authorities say Lee stabbed Johnson in the back of the head during a fight in Franklin Township. Lee said he acted in self defense.
He initially was charged with first-degree murder and third-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose. If convicted of murder, Lee would have faced 30 years to life in prison.
Instead of waiting for his Sept. 8 court date, Lee pleaded guilty and faces 14 years in prison when he is sentenced in October.

Ouch. I have barely been able to leave the house for two days. Going to work has been unavoidable and extremely unpleasant. This is not the first time United have been beaten by a large score since I have been watching, not even the first time we've been handsomely beaten by City, but for some reason I have been feeling this more than the others. But then again, it is entirely possible I might be oversensitive in the immediate aftermath of such a freak result.
Perspective is important when assessing anything. Although it is hugely important to be fully involved in the business at hand, it pays to be aware of what happens elsewhere in the world. To be perfectly frank, fans of other sports look at football and laugh their arses off at the diving of our players. It is pathetic, tiresome and damaging to the game. It's finest exponents play for Liverpool FC.
The capacity that some people have for hypocrisy never ceases to amaze me. In a week when the shameful England rugby team have crashed out of a World Cup in disgrace, half of the country is up in arms about Wayne Rooney misplacing one kick in anger. The lack of perspective required to endorse these standpoints boggles the mind.
Let's face it. A lot of the joy in following a sports team is found in barracking the opposition's fans. Don't ask me why, but there is a lot of fun to be had in poking fun at members of the other tribe. I like to think that United fans tend to do this with a bit of class and intelligence. This week, we concocted one of our finest coups des graces.

Ultimate Guacamole
Rebecca Lindamood
Recipe type:
appetizer, side dish, snack
Prep time:
10 mins
Total time:
10 mins
This simple 5-minute formula is everything guacamole should be; rustic, creamy, garlicky, full of lime, onion, cilantro, and tomatoes.
3 perfectly ripe avocados
1-2 fresh limes, to taste
1 small Vidalia (or other sweet) onion, peeled and diced
1 medium ripe tomato, seeds removed and diced
1 small washed bunch of cilantro, leaves removed and coarsely chopped (*See notes for what to do with stems.)
½-2 jalapeno or serrano chiles, seeds and stems removed then minced
1½-2 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced or pressed
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste (start at ½ teaspoon and work up from there, if desired.)
Halve the avocados then remove and discard their pits.
Use a serving spoon to scoop the avocado flesh from the shells into a mixing bowl.
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the avocados.
Use a potato masher or the bottom of a sturdy drinking cup to smash the avocados just to the point where it is a creamy mixture with recognizable pieces of avocado in varying sizes in it.
Stir in the remaining ingredients.
Taste the guacamole and adjust salt, pepper and lime juice, if desired.
To store the guacamole, lay a piece of plastic wrap directly on its surface, smoothing and making sure there are no air pockets.
*Store cilantro stems in the freezer in a resealable bag. You can toss stems in with dried beans, soups and sauces while they simmer to impart cilantro flavour. Fish the stems out before serving! A word about guacamole's reputation for getting ugly... Air pockets and exposure cause guacamole to darken. This does not change the flavour, but it does curb the visual appeal of the dip. So, to lengthen the amount of time that your guacamole stays pretty, be sure to follow the instructions to lay plastic wrap directly on the surface until serving time. Leftovers will store admirably when covered the same way for about 24-36 hours.
