Love this crib
June 19, 2015
Love this crib. Am currently in a one bedroom apartment while baby is little and this crib is a great space saver - fits in the corner of our room and lets us keep an eye on baby at night. Looks beautiful and you can normally get a good bargain by buying as a set when they are on sale. The bassinet mattress that comes with it is very thin, but that is because a thin hard mattress is recommended for newborns. My baby doesn't mind at all and sleeps well on it despite its thinness.

We love the Stokke Sleepi mini and were thrilled to have purchased it along with the free extension. The mini is a great size and we like the fact that we can roll the crib throughout the house.

nice px, as I got free stokke sleepi bed extensions. the color is a bit uneven between the bad base. one of the wheel could not touch down, so the bed a bit shaky. Now I do not know how to handle it? the other is good! no problem, in general, they are good!.

Amazing Quality
March 24, 2015
After extensive research I purchased the Stokki Sleepi System for my first grandchild to be. The flexibility, style, design and high quality made this product worth the price.
Sturdy well built beautifully finished wood. Flexible easy pieces to change for various ages -extremely good looking.I am a designed and am impressed with the engineering of this system.
none. If you think it seems pricey buy from ALBEE and receive the alteration kit for FREE! This actually was the biggest PRO!
Best Uses:
Contemporary look for modern design homes.

Had a horrible experience after purchasing this. We though the mini crib looked beautiful and purchased the mini set and the extension set. When we tried to assemble the mini, we found that the base didn't fit the frame. For a bassinet that costs $600, we would have expected it to deliver the basics, such as parts that fit. We contacted Stokke and they sent us a replacement base, which again did not fit. During this process, we took apart and reassembled about 4 times to make sure that we were following the instructions to a T. We contacted Stokke again and they said the set was out of stock so they would send us the individual components. At this stage, we are completely fed up with the experience and looking to return the whole thing and start again. I had heard of fit/assembly issues with the Stokke crib system but had hoped that for a company that promised a premium product & brand, this wouldn't be the case. The people at customer service tried to be helpful, but that does not compensate for defective products. Needless to say, we will not be buying any further Stokke products in the future.

Lovely bassinet
February 9, 2015
We just put our Stokke Mini together this morning, and it was a little bit tricky, but the resulting crib is beautiful, rolls really easily, and feels like the perfect size. I was a tad disappointed that one of the holes was not pre-drilled thoroughly, causing my husband to have to break out his drill. Plus we had some difficulty getting the base of the crib to align properly with the screw holes. I had very high expectations for this crib because of the price and the beautiful design, so the assembly issues were a bit of a surprise and disappointment. But overall I'm happy we got it, and I don't think the assemblage detracts from the quality overall. Unfortunately the mattress that was promised to come with the mini bundle did not get shipped, so I've had to contact customer service in regard to that. But still, love the bassinet and was really happy with the promotion of getting the crib extension set for free. That really sealed the deal for me buying this crib, especially from Albee baby.
Attractive, fits well in a smaller space, wheels roll very smoothly and make for easy transport around the house
Assembly wasn't great, had some issues

January 21, 2015
This was purchased as a gift. Albee was great to do business with. From ordering to delivery, everything went smoothly. Only the Sleepie Mini crib assembled right now but, my very pregnant daughter was able to assemble by herself so it appears the conversion to the full size shouldn't be a problem.
Sturdy construction. Good reliable wheels for easy maneuvering. Grows with the baby. Good size crib for smaller spaces without sacrificing comfort.
None thus far.

Just perfect
December 21, 2014
I absolutely love our Stokke mini crib. I was looking for a small bassinet but did not want to spend money on something that I would use only for two-three months. Then I saw the Stokke mini crib and absolutely loved the concept of it. Basically the child can use this crib up to teenage years when you use the various extension. Love stokke as well and all of theie products and quality!!
beautiful design, very functional

Love this Basinet
July 11, 2014
This proved to be a fantastic value which included the expansion kit to make a full size crib. The set arrived within a couple days of ordering, in excellent condition and easy to assemble. The simple contemporary design is unique and beautiful.
Best Uses:
This is our first baby so I researched all sleeping options in depth. Decided on the Stokke Sleepi because of its versatility, attractive contemporary design and excellent quality. Because it is on wheels and fits through standard size door frames, we can choose to have baby sleep in our room next to our bed or in his nursery with baby monitor. Also, we like that we can wheel it to any room in the house... The fact that it can be expanded to a regular size crib just adds to the versatility and great value.

Raja Rao's novel Kanthapura (1938) is the first major Indian novel in English. It is text of the Civil Disobedience movement of the 1930s that takes for its central concern the participation of a small village of South India in the national struggle called for by Mahatma Gandhi. Imbued with nationalism, the villagers sacrifice all their material possessions in a triumph of the spirit, showing how in the Gandhian movement people shed their narrow prejudices and united in the common cause of the non-violent civil resistance to the British Raj. Paradoxically, given its concerns, Kanthapura was first published in London in 1938 and was written when Rao was in France: "I wrote Kanthapura in a thirteenth century castle i…

OCCASIONALLY, during informal discussions, physicians will mention having treated patients for recurrences of mononucleosis. On the other hand, the infrequency of case reports, some unfortunately lacking adequate confirmation, attests to the rarity of authentic recurrences. As a rule the author has established the diagnosis of one attack with indisputable hematologie and serologic data included in his report. The documentation of other attacks, however, often lacks conviction, the patient frequently having been treated by other physicians. A case in point is that of Paterson and Pinninger, who conclude as follows: "This patient had three attacks of infectious mononucleosis over seven years. Unfortunately figures are not available for the blood counts and Paul-Bunnell tests of the first two attacks, but the patient is a reliable and intelligent witness and the Royal Air Force authorities have confirmed that the second attack was genuine."
In practice, the question of recurrent mononucleosis is apt to

Leeds Bradford Airport is located 32 miles from York. The Flying Tiger bus service connects you to Leeds or Bradford in about 30 minutes and costs GBP 3.60 for a single ticket. Both towns offer rail connections on to York. An airport taxi to York will take around 55 minutes and should cost around GBP 60. Official cabs have an arrow logo, or will be a Mercedes E-Class. Bear in mind that central York is traffic-free, so you may need to walk a little upon arrival.
The train is used to get to nearby towns and cities, rather than to travel around York. Popular routes include York to Leeds, Huddersfield or the scenic coastal town of Scarborough. Train times and fares depend on the destination, while timetables can be found online and on boards in the station. You can buy tickets at machines, using either card or cash. Groups of 3 to 9 adults can get a third off when using off-peak travel cards.
Buses are run by providers including Arriva (turquoise buses) and First (white, pink and purple buses), amongst others. Tickets are purchased on board with exact change but will be valid for that operator only, with day tickets costing GBP 3.80 on average. The "All York" ticket costs GBP 4.50 for a day and GBP 18 for 7 days, and can be used on all bus services. Buses tend to run from about 06.00 until midnight. Park & Ride car parks are set on the city outskirts.
York has a range of bike paths, including designated lanes and on-road routes. The terrain is flat and most traffic controls have been designed to accommodate cyclists. Be aware that you can't cycle within the city's pedestrianised zone before 16.00, nor can you cycle without lights on at night. Both actions would result in an on-the-spot fine of GBP 30. There is no public bike service but there are plenty of bike rental companies in town.
York's centre is pedestrianised with traffic-calming measures and high parking charges to discourage inner-city driving. However, you can make use of Park & Ride options set on the outskirts, where return journeys cost around GBP 2.80. Parking in the city costs around GBP 2 per hour. You pay at a meter and display a ticket on your windscreen, or there is an option to pay and register by phone. Parking in residential areas is available for a maximum of one hour.
It's not very easy to get around the city by taxi, as it's so pedestrianised in the centre. The best place to get a taxi is at a rank, for example at York Railway Station, or by calling an official mini-cab firm. You should always make sure to use a licensed cab, which should show a badge on the back of the car. Never get in an unmarked car. There is normally a minimum fare, which increases on a meter system and fares may be higher in the evenings.

This is exactly what we wanted to happen: first the HTC Endeavor is leaked (see news of it on the podcast) and then the RUU (ROM Upgrade Utility) gets leaked with the Android 4.0 and Sense UI ROM included inside for the upcoming Endeavor. All of this means that we get to see what Sense UI looks like on Android 4.0 without having to wait as long. And dare I say, it looks impressive with the subtle changes it has gone through. There have not been many tweaks to make note of so far, but mostly the aesthetic has been slightly polished and reorganized, with new lockscreen options to boot. Check out the source link for the full analysis of the software build.

Financial planning consultants, in Earlysville, are the professionals who help people deal with various personal financial issues through proper planning of: investment planning, education planning, retirement planning, cash-flow management, risk management, insurance planning, tax planning, estate planning, business succession planning, etc.
The financial planning consultants in Earlysville consider all queries, information and advice that impact and is impacted by the financial condition of the client. The need for financial planning consultants arise when people face complexity in- understanding the influence of a financial decision over the other financial aspects, finding meaning & direction of an individual's financial decisions, adapting to changed lifestyle to enhance financial security.
Because the financial planning consultants acquire all the information regarding one's financial status, prior to working with such consultants, a client must ensure that the consultant is competent and worthy of trust, and rather than being solely intended in selling financial products to the client for his own benefit will act in the client's interests.

From the Jhaveri Microbiology Centre, Hyderabad Eye Research Foundation,L. V. Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, India (Dr Sharma, Ms Pasricha, andMr Das); and Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad (Dr Aggarwal).The authors have no relevant financial interest in this article.
To establish that the protozoan Acanthamoeba isone of the causative organisms associated with non–contact lens–relatedkeratitis in the Indian population and to develop a simple and sensitive diagnosticassay for clinical testing.
DNA sequencing of nuclear 18S and 26S ribosomal DNA motifs was performedand compared with the reference Acanthamoeba strains,to establish the genetic identity of the putative amoeba isolates obtainedfrom the corneal scrapings of non–contact lens–wearing patientswith keratitis. Ribosomal DNA typing of clinical corneal scrapings from thepatients with keratitis was performed by means of a simple agarose gel–basedmultiplex polymerase chain reaction assay, to detect the cases of Acanthamoeba keratitis.
The ribosomal DNA analysis of 15 putative amoeba isolates obtained fromthe corneal scrapings of 14 patients with keratitis and 1 from the patients'environment established the isolates to be pathogenic formsof Acanthamoeba belonging to type T4 ribosomal DNA genotype. Multiplexpolymerase chain reaction assay was specific and sensitive enough to detectas low as 5 pg of Acanthamoeba DNA. Its utility asa reliable diagnostic assay was demonstrated directly with the use of 34 additionalcorneal scrapings.
Acanthamoeba is one of the causative organismsof keratitis in Indian patients with no history of contact lens usage. Moreover,the Acanthamoeba infection can be easily detectedin the clinical samples by means of the simple multiplex polymerase chainreaction assay based on ribosomal DNA typing.
Clinical Relevance
This study suggests the need and means to determine the incidence andprevalance of Acanthamoeba keratitis in India andelsewhere. Moreover, the polymerase chain reaction assay would help in earlyand definitive diagnosis, leading to better prognosis of Acanthamoeba keratitis condition.
Acanthamoeba keratitis hasbeen described primarily in reports from developed countries, with severalstudies suggesting soft contact lens wear as the greatest risk factor.1- 4 Incontrast, the reports from India and other developing countries are few andhave mainly been in non–contact lens wearers.5 Thisapparent low incidence of Acanthamoeba keratitisin India has resulted from the belief that the disease is related mainly tocontact lens wear—a factor usually absent in most cases of keratitisfrom this part of the world—and also from the unavailability of simpleand sensitive diagnostic tools for its clinical detection. A consequence ofthis low reporting is the skeptical acceptance of Acanthamoeba as a pathogenic organism by the medical community as well as the healthauthorities in India. Although our group5 reporteda number of cases, all of these were based on fluorescence microscopy of thecorneal scrapings and culture on nonnutrient agar with Escherichia coli overlay. These techniques involving culture establishmentand fluorescence microscopy require considerable experience and sophisticatedinfrastructure that are not available to most ophthalmologists, and thus dataremain lacking from other parts of India. In comparison, direct detectionmethods based on routine light microscopy of smears and histologic preparations,although widely available to clinicians, are not only less sensitive but alsounreliable. It has been estimated that 60% to 70% of cases of Acanthamoeba keratitis are misdiagnosed by such methods.6 Thesituation thus calls for newer, cost-effective, sensitive, simple, and reliablediagnostic tools that can be easily integrated in a small to medium-sizedclinical setup, leading to more realistic estimates of the disease incidenceas well as helping early diagnosis and treatment of the disease for betterresponse from the patients.
In this study, we provide DNA-based evidence that Acanthamoeba is associated with keratitis in Indian patients with nohistory of contact lens usage. In addition, we report a simple, rapid, andsensitive agarose gel–based multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR)assay for reliable detection of Acanthamoeba in clinicalsamples.
Twenty-two amoeba isolates obtained from the corneal scrapings of non–contactlens–wearing patients who had nonbacterial and nonfungal keratitis wereused for DNA analysis–based genetic identity. These comprised 15 isolatesfrom India (14 from patients with keratitis and 1 from potable water fromthe home of one of the patients), 1 each from Pakistan and Argentina, 4 AmericanType Culture Collection (ATCC) strains, and 1 standard strain of Acanthamoeba culbertsoni. Of the 14 keratitis samples from India, 12(Table 1) were collected at L.V. Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, and the other 2 were from Sankara Nethralaya,Chennai. All isolates were grown axenically as monolayers in PYG (proteasepeptone–yeast–glucose) medium.
Initial standardization of a PCR-based diagnostic assay was performedwith the samples used for molecular validation described in the precedingparagraph. Subsequently, the assay was tested for its reliability and utilityin clinical diagnosis directly on corneal scrapings from 34 patients diagnosedand treated at L. V. Prasad Eye Institute from January 1, 2000, through October31, 2001. These samples were selected from among the 2213 cases of microbialkeratitis with no history of contact lens usage. All the 34 corneal scrapingsamples were collected in duplicate, of which one set was stored in phosphate-bufferedsaline and the other set was directly investigated for the causative organismby our laboratory-specific protocol5 that includesfluorescence microscopy. The latter investigation showed 25 corneal scrapingsto be culture positive for Acanthamoeba and 9 forbacteria or fungus.
The clinical data and results of microbial investigations of all theamoeba-positive samples, except for those obtained from outside India, aregiven in the Table 1. The studywas approved by the institutional ethics committee of L. V. Prasad Eye Institute.
For ribosomal DNA (rDNA) analysis, totalDNA was extracted from the amoebic cultures and corneal scrapings by meansof the UNSET (urea–NaCl–SDS–EDTA–Tris hydrochloride)lysis buffer method.7 To isolate DNA from cultures,amoebae were harvested from 4- to 5-day-old, 5-mL confluent cultures (approximately1 × 106 amoebae, containing approximately 9:1 ratio of trophozoitesand cysts) by centrifugation at approximately 1000g for5 minutes. The harvested cells were washed twice with 5 mL of phosphate-bufferedsaline and resuspended in 0.5 mL of UNSET lysis buffer for DNA isolation.The aqueous lysate was extracted twice with 0.5 mL of phenol–chloroform–isoamylalcohol (25:24:1). The DNA was finally precipitated with 0.1 vol of 3M sodiumchloride and 2 vol of ethanol and dissolved in 200 µL of 1× TEbuffer (10mM Tris hydrochloride, 1mM EDTA, pH 8.0). For corneal scraping samples,a small amount of corneal tissue (approximately 0.2-0.5 mm) scraped by meansof a surgical blade (No. 15 on Bard Parker handle) with the patient undertopical anesthesia was collected in 1 mL of phosphate-buffered saline andstored at –20°C until testing. For DNA isolation, the stored cornealscraping samples were pelleted, lysed in 0.5 mL of UNSET lysis buffer, andthen processed as described in the preceding sentences, except that the organic-phaseextraction was done only once and final DNA was dissolved in only 50 µLof 1× TE buffer. All centrifugations for DNA isolation were carriedout at 8000g for 8 to 10 minutes in a centrifuge(Biofuge Fresco; Heraeus Instruments, Osterode, Germany).
Each sample was used to amplify 5 genus- or pathotype-specific genomicregions based on the published literature, of which 2 targets specific to18S rDNA8 and 26S rDNA9 giving463–base pair (bp) and 126-bp fragments, respectively, were found tobe most promising for characterization as well as diagnosis of Acanthamoeba. Primer sequences used to amplify 18S rDNA domain wereas follows: 5′-GGCCCAGATCGTTTACCGTGAA-3′ and 5′-TCTCACAAGCTGCTAGGGGAGTCA-3′(oral communication, Thomas J. Byers, PhD, Ohio State University, Columbus), whereas those for 26S rDNA target were as follows: 5′-GGAGCTCCCACGGGAGGCC-3′and 5′-TGGACCGCGTGAGGCTGCGGCT-3′, as described by Lai et al.9 Amplified products were sequenced on an automatedDNA sequencer (ABI-3700; Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif) and alignedwith those of reference sequences (identified by BLAST [basic local alignmentsearch tool] search and retrieved from the EMBL [European Molecular BiologyLaboratory] database) using ClustalX (available at: http://www-igbmc.u-strasbg.fr/BioInfo/ClustalX/Top.html). The sequence data were then used to construct phylogenetic treesto infer the genetic identities of the amoeba isolates analyzed in the presentstudy. Moreover, to ascertain the confidence values of the rDNA sequence–basedinferences regarding the genetic identities, sequence data were subjectedto bootstrap analysis.10 For the latter purpose,the aligned sequences were resampled 100 times by means of SEQBOOT softwareand the resampled data set was then used to compute genetic distances (DNADIST)and consensus distance trees showing genetic relationships by means of unweightedpair group method using arithmetic averages followed by CONSENSE programs.All programs were run with the use of PHYLIP package 3.6, which also containssimplified documentation files of each of these sequence analysis programsused in the study (available at: http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/phylip.html).
For rDNA typing of isolates as well as for diagnostic assay, the PCRswere done in 20-µL reactions using 1 and 3 µL of template DNA(for amoebae and corneal scraping samples, respectively). Each PCR contained1 U of Taq DNA polymerase (AmpliTaq Gold; PerkinElmer,Inc, Boston, Mass), 2pM of each primer, 200µM dNTPs (deoxyribose nucleotidetriphosphates), and 1.5mM magnesium chloride and was amplified for 35 three-stepcycles of 94°C, 61°C, and 72°C, each for 1 minute, followed byfinal extension of 72°C for 5 minutes in an MJR PTC-200 thermocycler (MJResearch Inc, Waltham, Mass). In each PCR amplification, the cycling profilewas preceded by one heating step of 94°C for 10 minutes to activate the Taq DNA polymerase. To develop a direct gel-based assayfor Acanthamoeba detection in clinical samples, primersfor the 2 rDNA targets were tested individually and also in combination, initiallywith DNA from culture-proved and "Type" isolates of Acanthamoeba and then with the use of DNA from 34 corneal scraping samples frompatients with keratitis. The amplified products were resolved and visualizedon ethidium bromide–stained 1.5% agarose gel. In all the experiments,proper negative (water in place of template DNA) and positive (DNA from Acanthamoeba castellanii, ATCC 50370) controls were used.Moreover, specificity of the assay was tested with DNA from 2 Acanthamoeba-related protozoa, Balamuthia mandrillaris and Hartmanella vermiformis (ATCC 30966),and human leukocytes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aspergillus species, and herpes simplex virus. The sensitivitywas determined by testing 10-fold dilutions of A castellanii DNA.
All the rDNA sequences specific to 22 amoeba isolates analyzed in thestudy were deposited in GenBank (accession numbers AF-534135 to AF-534179).The rDNA-based phenogram (Figure 1)showed all the Indian isolates, including the environmental one, and thosefrom Argentina and Pakistan, to be Acanthamoeba havingtype T4 sequence, the type found most commonly associated with the pathogenicisolates causing keratitis in contact lens wearers.7,8,11 Thegenetic identities were supported by very high bootstrap values that indicatedthe robustness and reliability of the rDNA sequence data obtained in the studyfor establishing the genetic affiliation of the analyzed amoeba isolates.Within themselves, the Indian isolates showed considerable variation, suggestingmultiple Acanthamoeba species, as was also supportedby their detailed morphometric analysis (data not shown). These results arein conformity with the original work of Gast et al,7 whichdescribed the rDNA sequence types and showed that the T4 type sequence characterizesa heterogeneous group of pathogenic isolates of Acanthamoeba comprising many different species.
Phylogenetic tree determined byunweighted pair group method using arithmetic averages based on 18S ribosomalDNA typing showing genetic relationships of the putative Acanthamoeba isolates obtained from patients with keratitis, reference Acanthamoeba species, and related protozoa Balamuthia and Hartmanella. Note that all Indian isolates(entries labeled with prefixes Is-9, Is-12 to Is-21, Is-23 to Is-25, and Is-Environment)are included in the T4 cluster of reference acanthamoebae.7,11 The22 isolates analyzed in the study are printed in boldface. The entries markedwith ® are the reference Acanthamoeba speciessequenced in the present study. The numbers at the nodes are the bootstrapvalues. The accession numbers of the reference sequences obtained from theEMBL (European Molecular Biology Laboratory) database are given in parentheses.ATCC indicates American type culture collection.
The attempts to develop a reliable diagnostic test led to the multiplexPCR assay having high sensitivity (5 pg of Acanthamoeba DNA) and specificity for the agarose gel–based detection of Acanthamoeba in clinical samples (Figure 2). The assay, being based on 2 markers (18S and 26S rDNA),provides relatively more reliable detection than the one described earlierbased on only 18S rDNA8,12 andalso overcomes the limitations of using different amplification conditionsfor sensitivity and specificity.8 The 18S rDNAprimers that amplify a 463-bp amplicon from Acanthamoeba also produced a similar-sized amplicon for Balamuthia and Hartmanella, the 2 closely related protozoa,under the conditions used in our studies. However, in the multiplex assay(Figure 2) wherein primers specificto both 18S and 26S rDNAs were used together, the 463-bp fragment was notamplified from the related protozoa and only the 126-bp fragment was seenfor Balamuthia. In contrast, a double-band patterncomprising 463 and 126 bp was obtained only with Acanthamoeba. The Acanthamoeba-specific 2-fragment phenotypemay not indicate the presence of Balamuthia in thetest sample if the latter is also present as an additional protozoan, althoughkeratitis cases having such mixed protozoa infections are yet to be defined.Experiments done to test the diagnostic utility of the assay, using 34 clinicalcorneal scraping samples and DNA from 22 Acanthamoeba isolatesand many nontarget organisms as negative controls (see earlier), resultedin only 1 false-negative finding, establishing the high specificity (>98%)of the assay. On the other hand, the 2-fragment phenotype on the agarose gelspecifying Acanthamoeba was seen for 24 of the 25culture-proved, Acanthamoeba-positive corneal scrapingsamples, showing high accuracy of positive identification (96%), and for noneof the 9 corneal scrapings of patients with bacterial or fungal keratitis.

Note amplicons of approximately 463 and 126 base pairs (bp) onlyin Acanthamoeba lanes 7, 10, and 12, and 126 bp onlyin Balamuthia lane 5. MW indicates molecular weight.
Perusal of the clinical data of the patients from whom the study sampleswere drawn did not suggest any bias with respect to the sex and age of thepatients (Table 1) and the incidenceof Acanthamoeba keratitis. Notably, all the patientsbelonged to relatively poor strata of society, none wore contact lenses, andfor the few cases with known history, mechanical injury or trauma was foundto be the main predisposing factor.
Results presented herein conclusively prove that Acanthamoeba is one of the causative organisms of keratitis in non–contactlens wearers from India. Ribosomal DNA typing–basedgenetic identity analysis showed a high degree of genetic diversity amongthe Acanthamoeba isolates(Figure 1), and all of these carried the T4 signatures that definethe pathogenic forms.7 These results emphasizethat ophthalmologists and general physicians in India and other developingcountries should be aware of Acanthamoeba as oneof the causes of keratitis in non–contact lens wearers, and thus shouldtake immediate measures for its early diagnosis and management. For the latterpurpose, the simple PCR-based test described herein holds great promise, especiallyafter such technology has become widely available in most parts of India andelsewhere. Even creation of a new setup for PCR-based testingis much easier and cost- and time-effective than the other relatively reliableapproaches of fluorescence microscopy using calcofluor white staining5 and culture-based methods.
Awareness about the disease and availability of an easy detection toolwould not only help in early detection and better management of Acanthamoeba keratitis, a condition that presently largely goes undetectedand uncured at most centers, but would also help greatly in obtaining realisticestimates of disease incidence. Thus, the diagnostic and epidemiologic valueof the multiplex PCR cannot be overemphasized for countries like India wheresuch data are lacking.

For many Carson City residents, Christmas is another work day - or is it?
Yes and no.
For Carson City firefighters, major holidays mean no inspections or training and getting a special meal or two. Their co-workers are sort of like family.
"We are family. There's no 'sorta,'" said firefighter Bryon Hunt.
But it's still work. There were eight calls for service on Christmas Day by the early afternoon. Being a firefighter, working on holidays "is part of the deal," Hunt said. "Most of the families understand it."
Hunt's son Tyler, age 3 1/2, is still trying to catch on. He visits his dad at work once every few months, but was upset when Hunt had to leave to respond to a call for service.
"The lifestyle we live, well, you don't know any different," said Shelby Hunt, Bryon's wife and Tyler's mom. She, Tyler, and Meri and Ed Gscheidle, Bryon's parents, all came to the fire station for some holiday togetherness.
"It's always a special treat for Tyler to come visit Daddy and see the fire trucks," Shelby said.
There were even a couple of Christmas gifts for Tyler to open up in front of his dad.
Bryon has worked seven of the nine past Christmases. As a nurse for years at Carson-Tahoe Hospital, Shelby had to work her share of holidays before taking a management job at St. Mary's Medical Center in Reno.
"Daddy puts out fires and Mommy takes care of sick people," Shelby said she tells Tyler who, "hopefully, will understand what we do is to help people."
"A" shift employees - Hunt and six other firefighters - worked from 8 a.m. Christmas Eve to 8 a.m. this morning at Station 1. The firefighters spend even longer stretches of time together since they started working new schedules this year: 48 hours on and 96 hours off.
The Christmas Eve menu included oyster stew, a family tradition started by relatives of Capt. Dave Miller, Hunt's supervisor.
Christmas morning was a big breakfast of eggs, bacon and potatoes. And Battalion Chief Vincent Pirozzi made the rounds with large tins of cookies - a tin for employees at each fire station.
"He does it every year. It's really nice of him," Miller said.
Relatives were invited to attend the prime-rib feast Christmas Day. Many, however, wait until everyone is together to truly celebrate.
This is because sometimes holidays are so busy, the firefighters don't get the chance to enjoy special meals they prepare. In those circumstances, the relatives end up eating alone anyway - and at the fire station, Miller said.
And it's why one of Miller's daughters won't open her presents "until I come home," Miller said.
"It's not so much a sacrifice for us. It's more of a sacrifice for our families," Hunt added.

The senior ignited the Buffs through much of the game. But his two miscues in the final two minutes of the game helped Missouri finish off a CU team that had led by as many as 14 points in the second half.
"We've had leads in almost every game," said a dejected Hall after the loss. "We've got to learn how to finish it off."
Whether or not the Buffs learn that lesson before the season is over is hard to predict. With the loss to Missouri, Colorado falls to 9-10 overall and 1-4 in conference play.
Head coach Jeff Bzdelik was more frustrated than he'd been after any home loss in this, his first season at Colorado. Bzdelik took the blame for the loss afterward. But it was apparent his patience with his players has worn thin.
"Being tough is executing under duress," Bzdelik said. "(Missouri) turned it up a little (in the second half) and for whatever reason, when teams turn it up, we melt."
Missouri came into the match-up on a three-game skid. Still, this is a team that opened conference play with a win over Texas, a team that went into this weekend ranked No. 12 in the country.
Colorado jumped out to an 11-0 lead in the game's first four minutes. Missouri had no opportunity to put on its vaunted full-court press during that span. When they finally used it, however, it caused the Buffs no trouble. At least, until after the break.
Finally, Missouri's full-court pressure started to cause the Buffs problems during the game's final 10 minutes. While the Buffs committed just five turnovers in the first half, they ended with 16. Bzdelik was also displeased with the fact the Buffs gave up 15 offensive boards, for the second consecutive game.
Colorado led the contest until 1:59 remained in the game. That's when Missouri (12-8/2-3) forward Matt Lawrence drained a trey, giving the Tigers a 61-60 lead. Hall threw the ball away on CU's next possession and Leo Lyons dunked a breakaway, adding to the lead. It was Hall's first turnover of the game. He committed another, then quickly fouled out and watched the rest of the way from the bench.
Searching for an explanation for his team's meltdown, Bzdelik said, "You can't be casual when the other team is desperate."

Sophomore walk-on forward Trent Beckley was inserted into the game with 4:13 remaining in the first half. Marcus King-Stockton had three fouls and Jermyl Jackson-Wilson had two at that point. Beckley played the rest of the half and scored two points, his first two of the season. …Former CU All-American placekicker Mason Crosby was at the game and was introduced during halftime. Crosby led the NFL in scoring as a rookie this past season.

Though there were no explicit character issues–given that Turner ostensibly worked hard on the court–his role would have been diminished under new head coach Chris Collins.
That often occurs during coaching transition. Roles change; players are recruited over; loyalties tend to shift. NU, for several weeks, has indicated some uncertainty with the current centers. The Wildcats offered San Antonio big man Ben Lammers, which made little sense for a team with three centers.
Despite his effort and contributions, the Turner-to-NU experiment failed to work out. In his one season of action, Turner made about one third of his shots, tallying 61 points and 85 fouls in 32 games.
There was some contribution, but Collins did not consider him a productive long-term piece. That's not to discredit Turner's effort, and though his return to NU hoops seems improbable (realistically speaking), he did what he could for a mediocre 2012-13 squad.
On the recruiting front, we can expect Chris Collins to pursue a transfer or fifth-year center. An additional and surprising piece, like Jared Swopshire last season, might vault the 2014-15 team into tournament contention.
The pressure remains squarely on sophomore center Alex Olah to improve on last season's impressive freshman campaign. He'll be the only true center to have played any minutes last season, with returns on his offseason progress extremely promising.
But for now, we wish all the best to Mike Turner, and can trust Chris Collins to turn this ship around.

There are the mesh ones, but I came across this one and wondered if it's a good option. No fire retardants, I assume, since it's wood, whereas the mesh ones probably have chemicals applied. I'm also hoping that wood is sturdy enough that it wouldn't "give" and create a space for him to get entrapped. Any thoughts? I know they make those fabric things that go in the bed, but we can't spare any real estate in our bed! And I'm not sure how those are any better than pillows and such, in terms of baby's safety.

BMO Harris Bradley Center to reopen Turner Hall restaurant
As part of its ongoing mission to create new revenue, BMO Harris Bradley Center officials have agreed to a plan to reopen the old Turner Hall restaurant as a kind of satellite gathering place for arenagoers.
The deal includes the Milwaukee Turners, the owners of the 129-year-old building across the street from the center, and the Turner Ballroom Preservation Trust, which renovated the Turner Hall Ballroom for concerts.
The restaurant, which will be open to the public, will open later this year and after the start of the 2012-'13 sports and concert season.
Work is well under way at the restaurant, said Steve Costello, president of the BMO Harris Bradley Center. The renovation is expected to cost in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and will add amenities while preserving much of what longtime Milwaukeeans remember of the place, including the stained glass and historic murals.
The old bar that used to greet visitors has been redone, the dining area will be refurbished and additional space on the south side of the floor is being redone and will be made available for groups headed to the arena for a game or concert.
And, yes, the famous Friday fish fry will be back.
The agreement calls for the BMO Harris Bradley Center to lease the restaurant from the trust, which has rights to operate it through a separate agreement with the Milwaukee Turners.
The five-year deal calls for Turners and the trust to generate revenue primarily through rental of the space, while arena officials will generate revenue from restaurant and bar sales.
BMO Harris Bradley Center employees will manage the restaurant. Turners last had a restaurant inside the building two years ago.
The deal is seen as a win-win for both the BMO Harris Bradley Center and Turners. With space tight at the arena for new restaurant and club space, BMO Harris Bradley Center officials say a renovated Turner Hall gives them a new revenue stream.
For Turners, the first-floor renovation is another set piece for an old building that has been revived in recent years as a community gathering place. Upstairs in the Turner Ballroom, the Pabst Theater Organization has been staging concerts since 2007.
"We've used every nook and cranny at the BMO Harris Bradley Center," Costello said. "We knew the trust was talking about ways to bring Turners back to life. And we became interested in making a big capital investment in the building."
The trust is also investing in the building as part of the agreement. Katharina Hren, Milwaukee Turners' executive director, said she was pleased with the partnership.
"This building has come alive as a community resource," she said. "This agreement allows the building to serve even more of the community."
Costello said the restaurant and bar will be open for all Bradley Center events, including Milwaukee Bucks games, Milwaukee Admirals games, concerts and other major gatherings. There also will be an opportunity for groups headed to a Bradley Center event to rent space, Costello said.
Costello estimated the restaurant could be open for as many as 250 days a year.
There will be a name change as well, but the word "Turners" will be incorporated, Costello said.
"We wouldn't be doing this if it was two or three blocks away," Costello said. "The opportunity really seemed to be ideal. This is really an extension of the BMO Harris Bradley Center."
Arena officials, including Costello and BMO Harris Bradley Center board chairman Marc Marotta, have been saying for years that the shelf life of the aging arena is limited. As a result, they have reached out to community and business leaders with the message that the time is now to start talking about a new multipurpose arena.
The BMO Harris Bradley Center, opened in 1988, is small by NBA standards. Moreover, the ability to generate new revenue, such as clubs or new premium seating, is limited.
That's why the new agreement with Turners is a significant step for the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
"This helps us support our mission," Costello said.
"Turner Hall and the BMO Harris Bradley Center have been neighbors for a long time, and this new relationship is a natural fit," said Arthur Heitzer, president of Milwaukee Turners. "We are delighted to see the restaurant open with an exciting renovation that preserves its rich history and heritage."
Gary Grunau, a developer and chairman of the Turner Ballroom Preservation Trust, said he hoped the agreement will mark the beginning of a productive and mutually beneficial relationship.
"It's great to see these two venues working together to benefit each other and downtown with the vital support of the Turner Ballroom Preservation Trust," he said.

THE ADAGE says "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach." As newlyweds Eric and Autumn Levine discovered, that wisdom also applies to women.
"When we first began dating, he made me these delicious scallops," said Autumn Levine. "I knew then he was a keeper, because I don't cook."
An attorney by day, Eric Levine enjoys cooking on nights and weekends. He has fond childhood memories of his mother's honey-mustard chicken and his father's grilling, but he didn't become interested in cooking until he hit college.
There, Levine started making sandwiches and sharing them with friends. His reputation grew. Inspired, he started watching TV shows such as "Chopped," "Top Chef" and "Hell's Kitchen."

With the recent release of Metroid: Other M, gamers became divided on accepting Nintendo's latest portrayal of the heroine Samus Aran. As most of us are aware of by now, Other M is Nintendo's first attempt at building Samus' character. They've given her emotions in a Metroid game.
Yes, it's true that even the mighty Samus Aran is no stranger to the emotions found in stereotypical women. I guess Nintendo's been itching all these years to reveal to the world that deep inside the iconic power suit, Samus is a subservient, fear-strickened woman stuck on the borders of viewing Adam as a father or a possible lover.
Hey she's still human after all. Nothing wrong with a bit of melodrama involved in her life right? What about cliche? From what we've seen in Other M, is Samus nothing but a generic heroine now? You can be the judge of that. Or can you? With Other M, Nintendo gave her a personality. Now she speaks in conversations and monlogues instead of just actions. Samus' thoughts and actions are no longer left to the imaginative narration of players. In past Metroid games, Samus was mostly silent and hidden under a masculine power suit. This fueled her image to be that of an enigma, where players only caught a glimpse of her in skimpy outfits if they were good enough to meet certain challenges when completing the games.
During the recent years, Nintendo has begun glamorizing the heroine without her power suit more often. This may be a strategy by Nintendo to increase revenue for the Metroid franchise, but is this same strategy turning Samus more into a sex icon rather than the mystery girl she was in the past? With the ability to play as the curvy athletic zero suit version of Samus in Super Smash Brothers Brawl, this further fueled a mainstream of peculiar screenshots posted on the internet by many gamers. Most of the screenshots involved Samus in her zero suit seemingly posing with other characters, in erotic positions. Do most gamers now view Ms. Aran the same way as they would to the likes of Lara Croft?
Right now, it's unclear to what direction Nintendo will take for our beloved Samus Aran. If sales show that Metroid: Other M is an underpinning miracle for the franchise, then it's without any doubt that Nintendo will continue along this path.
Whether or not Other M is a good game to you, many parts to the plot still baffles me. I'm sure that by now, many of us have heard about Samus' notorious moment of wetting her panties upon Ridley's arrival in Other M. Is this really the same Samus Aran that many long time fans came to admire? Regardless though, I'm among those waiting to see what steps will Nintendo take on their next Metroid game.
To anyone who is unhappy about Samus' "new" image:
Hey at least Samus isn't the only iconic Nintendo character to have shameful moments stained upon her history. Remember when Nintendo gave Philips rights to develop games using their beloved characters? I'm sure Link still cringes every time that incident is brought up. Take a look for yourself and marvel at this:
It's ok Link, everyone has moments they're not proud of. But just for the fun of it, here's more:
Are you wearing lipstick Link? Anyways, you no longer have nothing to throw at Samus for making fun of you during Nintendo reunions. Just remind her that Princess Peach could have been a substitute for her in the Ridley fight for Metroid: Other M.

While the average gradient of the climb is 6%, the start is tough then it flatten off until the last 1.5 km which is by far the toughest part of the ride and the famous Hell Corner at 15km mark. Remember to eat regularly throughout the ride so you have the energy to get up the last section of the Peak. Where it's safe to do so, take some of the steepness out of the corners by moving into the centre of the left lane on the switchbacks.

Artist never judges a book by its cover – Weekend
"Mike Stilkey can't stand to see books discarded. Instead, he aims to "give them a new life" by creating works of art out of them. First, Stilkey, 40, heads to local libraries to find books that are about to be thrown out. Then he stacks them on top of one another to make a sculpture of sorts and glues them together. Each ends up looking "like a giant Lego puzzle," he said.Then he paints on the collection of bindings. Often he doesn't know what he's going to paint until his brush touches the surface." (via LA Times)
