The Machete Project
Photographer Vanessa Ahlsborn's Machete Project "is an ongoing portrait and object archive that showcases the diversity of this blade style and the beauty of its users. Despite their fearsome reputation in western news media and popular culture, the machete is an extremely versatile and commonplace asset for many people across the world. By documenting the everyday user for whom the machete is an invaluable tool, the project seeks to question the viewer's assumptions about the machete, and by extension, the people who use it."

Everyday is Sunday
Everyday is Sunday (Tous les jours dimanche) is a series of surreal pictures taken by photographer Manolo Mylonas in the poor and tumultuous Department of Seine-Saint-Denis, where he lives (interview in French). For those who wonder about the sheep herd on a concrete ramp, they are part of an experiment in urban agriculture (in French, other pictures). There's no explanation for the horse on the balcony, but this is probably how it got there.

Pierdom, Simon Roberts' photographic survey of England's pleasure piers
The first British pier opened 200 years ago this month in Ryde, on the Isle of Wight. Photographer Simon Roberts spent three years documenting the country's remaining piers. (The Guardian) Roberts describes his collection of photographs, Pierdom, as "a comprehensive survey of Britain's Pleasure Piers," and he captures the current state of powerful reminder of the achievements of Victorian engineers and entrepreneurs. The Telegraph has a bit more on how he set up his process. The Photographers' Gallery has a slideshow of some of Simon's photos, and Lens Scratch has a still series of his photos.
Editing photos as if they were audio files
"Masuma Ahuja and Denise Lu for the Washington Post applied a technique called databending to a bunch of photos. The idea is that computer files — even though they represent different things like documents, images, and audio — encode data in one form or another. It's just that sound files encode beats, notes, and rhythms, whereas image files encode hue, saturation, and brightness. So when you treat image files as if they were audio, you get some interesting results. Jamie Boulton has a detailed description on how to do this yourself with Audacity Effects." [via]
It began with an itch I just had to scratch.
Doesn't every adventure begin that way? I was lying in bed reading on a Saturday evening, and without even looking I idly scratched a spot on the right side of my chest –- at that point I had a chest, not breasts. As I did, my fingers rode over a small something, a little like a speed bump about an inch below and two inches to the left of my right nipple. "That's a lump!" I thought, and suddenly I had a right breast. With a lump in it.

Depicting the dreams of children in the eeriest of forms, he dives into the subconscious side of children's minds and draws out their biggest fears in the haunting photos that follow.[more inside]

Francesca is the former Assistant Editor of food52 and believes you can make anything out of farro.
Frankly regular vanilla works just fine, as long as you're not making a white icing or something that it could discolor. Same flavor and buy a high quality brand sourced in Madagascar.
Clear vanilla is artificial vanilla, not the real thing. I'd much sooner have my creations tinted with real vanilla than taste that nasty artificial flavour!
I agree with Mary Mary...however if you did want to get some it's at Michael's - in their cake decorating section. I got some for a white frosting [for cinnamon buns] and to be honest, it did not have very good vanilla flavor.

Woman denies hitting police chief with car
LYNDONVILLE A St. Johnsbury woman accused of hitting a police chief with her car during a torch run for Special Olympics Vermont has denied the charges.
Sixty-seven-year-old Sandra Raynor pleaded not guilty Wednesday to careless and negligent operation of a motor vehicle and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors.
Police say that Raynor said she didnt want to wait when she saw the runners, a police cruiser and a fire truck coming down the street that she wanted to cross on June 6.
Lyndonville Police Chief Jack Harris, who was not in uniform and was one of the runners, said when he tried to stop her from driving through the procession, she drove off and brushed against him with her car.
She was arrested a short time later.MORE IN This Just In

Auto-cropping images with javascript and PHP
A couple of weeks ago, I was working on a WordPress multisite website for a client. A widget on one of the sites in this multisite install would get an RSS feed from another, and show the first post. So far so good. But the feed supplied square images for each article, while the receiving site's design used landscape images.
Long story short: one of the first images was a portrait of the clients, and they were beheaded. Not good. So I decided to see if I could come up with a clever way to automatically crop images based on where the "action is" in the image.

Having a breast biopsy is the only way to definitely diagnose breast cancer. There are several types of biopsies, including needle biopsy, which is less invasive, and surgical biopsy, which requires a portion of the breast to be removed. The type of biopsy needed depends on everything from your mammogram results to how your breast feels, to your doctor's opinion.

Usually Salomon Torres fills his day with e-mails and phone calls from constituents.
But things have changed following a tragedy that unfolded in Arizona, where Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head.
The past few days in U.S. Congressman Ruben Hinojosa TMs office have been filled with meetings on how to better protect the Rio Grande Valley-based congressman.
"Taking care of his well being is now, more than ever, going to be our highest priority," said Torres.
But at the same time they have to protect themselves against a possible attack.
"Everybody in this office has put themselves in the shoes of that staff that were victims of this violent act, said Torres. We are all reflecting on how we would respond to a violent act against us or the congressman."
Torres said they have been discussing all aspects of protection.
He said one of the top priorities is that every staffer learns CPR. There has also been discussion of the possibility of carrying a weapon.
"Use of weapons|that's something we will approach with the guidance of the capital police, said Torres. We are in consultation with them for the tools they recommend to put in place in district offices."
Torres said as the country tries to recover from this tragedy the way members of congress address their constituents will forever be changed.

Genetic factors may play a role in fibrosis progression in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). A cirrhosis risk score (CRS7) with 7 SNPs was previously shown to correlate with cirrhosis in patients with CHC. This study aimed to assess the validity of CRS7 as a marker of fibrosis progression and cirrhosis and as a predictor of clinical outcomes in patients with CHC.
A total of 938 patients (677 Caucasians, 165 African Americans, and 96 Hispanic/Other) in the HALT-C Trial were studied. CRS7 was categorized a priori as high risk (n=440), medium risk (n=310) or low risk (n=188). Patients were assessed for four possible outcomes: fibrosis progression, cirrhosis, clinical outcomes (decompensation or hepatocellular carcinoma [HCC]), or HCC alone.
29% (142/493) developed an increase in fibrosis score by ≥ 2 points on follow-up biopsies, 58% had cirrhosis on one or more biopsies, 35% developed at least one clinical outcome, and 13% developed HCC. CRS7 (trend test) was associated with risk for fibrosis progression (p=0.04) with adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 1.27 (95%CI: 1.01–1.58) and with cirrhosis (p=0.05) with adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 1.19 (1.00–1.41). Rates of HCC and clinical outcomes were increased in patients with higher CRS7 scores, but were not statistically significant (p=0.12 clinical outcomes, and p=0.07 HCC). A SNP in AZIN1 was significantly associated with fibrosis progression.
CRS7 was validated as a predictor of fibrosis progression and cirrhosis among HALT-C patients, who all had advanced fibrosis. CRS7 was not predictive of clinical outcome.
Progression of chronic liver disease to cirrhosis, clinical decompensation, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is variable, even for liver disease caused by the same etiological agent. For example, while chronic hepatitis C is the most important cause of liver failure and HCC in western countries, most patients with chronic hepatitis C either do not progress to cirrhosis or do so only slowly [1]. The reasons for variability in disease progression and the ability to predict who will develop severe progressive disease are not well defined. Host factors such as older age at the time of infection, male gender, obesity, and heavy alcohol consumption have been shown to be associated with accelerated fibrosis progression [2, 3] but have limited utility in predicting which patients will progress to cirrhosis. Laboratory indicators such as high serum aspartate/alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT) ratio, AST-platelet ratio index (APRI), bilirubin, and international normalized ratio of prothrombin time (INR), and low platelet count can distinguish between patients with cirrhosis and those with early stage fibrosis with reasonable accuracy because they reflect disease severity. These tests, however, are of limited value in predicting which patients with early stage liver disease will subsequently progress to cirrhosis.
Evidence is accumulating to indicate that genetic factors influence the natural history of chronic liver disease [4]. Genetic polymorphisms may play a role in susceptibility to the etiologic agent and subsequent liver injury. Genetic variability may also contribute to differences in immune response as well as regeneration and repair. Predisposition to disease progression or treatment response based on genetic risk is intensely pursued as a means to personalized medicine, but has met with limited success to date from the perspective of assisting compelling and actionable patient management decisions. Recent studies showed that a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the region of the interleukin 28B (IL-28B) gene is associated with spontaneous recovery from acute hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and response to interferon and ribavirin treatment of chronic hepatitis C [5, 6]. Other investigators have focused on the search for genetic markers that are associated with the risk of cirrhosis. To date, most of these studies have been cross-sectional and included small numbers of patients, and the findings have not been validated in subsequent studies [7].
A recent study in the United States of 574 Caucasian patients with chronic hepatitis C (420 in the training set and 154 in the validation set) who had either no fibrosis or bridging fibrosis/cirrhosis, identified 7 SNPs that were significantly associated with bridging fibrosis/cirrhosis [8]. A cirrhosis risk score (CRS7), which was calculated based on the genotypes of these 7 SNPs in each patient, yielded an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.75 (95% CI: 0.70–0.80) in detecting patients with bridging fibrosis/cirrhosis in the training set and an AUROC of 0.73 (95% CI: 0.56–0.89) in the validation set. These data were derived from a cross-sectional study, so the ability of CRS7 to predict the timing of future risks of cirrhosis could not be assessed. In another study that included 271 Italian patients whose initial biopsies showed Metavir fibrosis stages F0, 1 or 2 on the initial biopsy and who had follow-up biopsies after an interval of at least 60 months (mean 109 months), the mean CRS7 was found to be significantly higher in patients with fibrosis progression (defined as increase in Metavir fibrosis score by ≥ 1) than in those who did not experience fibrosis progression [9]. A subsequent smaller study involving 56 patients in Belgium and Germany, who had paired biopsies with an interval of ≥ 5 years, found that CRS7 was the only variable associated with fibrosis progression [10].
The Hepatitis C Antiviral Long-term Treatment against Cirrhosis (HALT-C) Trial is a prospective study that enrolled more than 1000 patients with chronic hepatitis C of all race and ethnicity followed for up to 8.7 years for histological and clinical outcomes. The availability of genetic samples from a large cohort of these well-characterized patients with serial liver biopsies provided a unique opportunity to evaluate CRS7 and the individual SNPs as predictors of cirrhosis and clinical outcomes.
The design of the HALT-C trial has been described previously [11, 12]. Briefly, patients enrolled were those with chronic hepatitis C who had failed to achieve a sustained virologic response (SVR) during previous treatment with interferon with or without ribavirin and who had advanced fibrosis on liver biopsy (Ishak fibrosis score ≥3) and no history of hepatic decompensation or HCC. Patients were re-treated with a combination of pegylated interferon alfa-2a 180 mcg weekly and ribavirin 1–1.2 g/day (lead-in), and those who had undetectable HCV RNA at week 20 continued combination therapy until week 48. Lead-in non-responders and responders who subsequently experienced breakthrough or relapse, as well as those patients who had not responded to pegylated interferon and ribavirin treatment outside the HALT-C Trial (Express patients), were randomized to maintenance therapy (pegylated interferon alfa-2a 90 mcg weekly) or to no further treatment for 3.5 years. Patients were evaluated quarterly for study outcomes of decompensated liver disease and HCC. Liver biopsies were repeated 1.5 and 3.5 years after randomization. Upon completion of the randomized trial, all patients were invited to continue 6-monthly follow-up without treatment. At each visit, patients were assessed clinically and blood was drawn for complete blood counts, hepatic panel (albumin, AST, ALT, bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase), creatinine, INR, and alpha fetoprotein (AFP). Hepatic ultrasound was performed at randomization, 6 months after randomization and then every 12 months during the randomized trial and every 6 months thereafter. Patients with suspicious lesions on ultrasound or elevated AFP were further evaluated by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the liver. All patients underwent endoscopy to evaluate for esophageal varices at randomization. All liver biopsies were reviewed and scored by a panel of 12 hepatic pathologists. Fibrosis was staged using the Ishak score (range of 0–6) [13]. The mean length of the biopsies was 1.8 cm, 63% of the biopsies were longer than 1.5 cm and 75% had at least 10 portal triads.
The HALT-C Trial protocol was approved by the local Institutional Review Boards (IRB) of all the HALT-C Trial sites. Patients provided written informed consent for participation in the HALT-C Trial and only those who provided consent for genetic testing were included in this study. This ancillary study was approved by the Data Coordinating Center IRB on February 1, 2009.
Patients were assessed for four possible outcomes: fibrosis progression, cirrhosis, clinical outcome and HCC. Fibrosis progression was defined as an increase in Ishak fibrosis score by ≥ 2 points on at least one of the follow-up biopsies 1.5 or 3.5 years after randomization. Cirrhosis was defined as the presence of an Ishak fibrosis score of 5 or 6 on any biopsy, whether baseline or follow-up, or an explanted liver. Clinical outcomes included an increase in Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score to ≥ 7 on two consecutive occasions 3 months apart, variceal bleeding, ascites, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, hepatic encephalopathy, HCC, or liver-related death during an observation period of up to 8.7 years (median 6.1 years). Diagnostic criteria were established for each of the clinical outcomes, and an Outcomes Review Panel adjudicated all reported outcomes. Only first clinical outcomes that met the predefined criteria were included in this analysis. For HCC, both definite and presumed HCC were included [14]. Definite HCC required histologic confirmation of the tumor or a new mass lesion on imaging with AFP levels increasing to >1,000 ng/mL. Presumed HCC was defined as a new mass lesion on ultrasound in the absence of histology and an AFP of <1,000 ng/mL in conjunction with one of the following characteristics: a) 2 liver imaging studies showing a mass lesion with characteristics of HCC (vascular enhancement with or without wash out), or b) a progressively enlarging lesion on ultrasound leading to death of the patient, or c) 1 additional imaging study showing a mass lesion with characteristics of HCC that either increased in size over time or was accompanied by increasing AFP levels.
DNA was extracted at SeraCare (Gaithersburg, MD) from frozen whole blood using the Gentra Systems Puregene kit or from either Epstein-Barr transformed B-lymphocytes or frozen peripheral blood mononuclear cells using Qiagen DNA purification columns (Qiagen Inc, Valencia, CA). Blind coded DNA samples were sent from the HALT-C sample repository at SeraCare to Celera Diagnostics (Alameda, CA) for genetic testing. Genotyping of SNPs was carried out by allele-specific real-time PCR at a high throughput facility. For each allele-specific PCR reaction, 0.3 ng of DNA was amplified. Genotypes were automatically determined by an in-house software program followed by manual curation without knowledge of the phenotype. Genotyping accuracy in prior studies was ~99%. Primer sequences are available upon request.
CRS7 scores were derived as described previously [8]. The scores range from 0 to 1 with higher scores indicating higher risk of cirrhosis. Patients were classified as having high risk (CRS7 >0.7), intermediate risk (CRS7 0.5–0.7), or low risk (CRS7 <0.5) of cirrhosis using cutoffs based on a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve in the study in which CRS7 was developed.
Baseline patient characteristics for binary variables were assessed for linear trend across the low, intermediate, and high CRS7 risk groups by the Cochran-Armitage trend test [15]. Continuous and ordinal baseline variables were evaluated for correlation with CRS7 risk group by Kendall's Tau-b correlation test. Differences in distribution of CRS7 risk group among the various sources of patients were assessed by the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel Mean Score Test [16]. Differences in the distribution of CRS7 in HALT-C and non HALT-C subjects were assessed by the Kruskal-Wallis Test. Deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was assessed by exact test of the allele frequencies [17]. Multiple statistical models were generated to assess the association of CRS7 risk group and the various liver disease outcomes. For fibrosis progression, cirrhosis, and clinical outcome analyses that included both African American and Caucasian subjects, two models were fit: one where CRS7 risk group was adjusted for race alone and another where CRS7 risk group was adjusted for race, treatment assignment, patient source of randomization (lead-in, breakthrough, relapse or express), and study site. Two models with and without adjustment were also fit for analyses including only Caucasian subjects. For the HCC outcome models that included both African American and Caucasian subjects, CRS7 risk group was adjusted for race alone and for race, treatment assignment, patient source of randomization, study site, and baseline cirrhosis status. Two HCC models with and without adjustment were fit for analyses including only Caucasian subjects.
The power to detect associations between CRS7 risk group and various endpoints was approximated by calculating the power to detect an association using the Cochran-Armitage trend test.
Exact times for ≥ 2-point fibrosis progression are unknown, but rather are only known to have occurred during the intervals of time between the scheduled biopsies (interval censored) at 1.5 and 3.5 years of follow-up.
Fibrosis progression hazard ratios for the intermediate and high CRS7 risk groups were estimated by proportional hazard models where the probabilities of progression were complementary log-log transformed to accommodate interval censoring of subjects for biopsies taken from 0–1.5 years and 1.5–3.5 years. Hazard ratios for these models were interpreted as the increase (or decrease) in risk of fibrosis progression that a patient in the high or intermediate CRS7 risk group assumes (at any time) relative to patients in the low CRS7 risk group. A test for linear trend of the proportion of subjects having fibrosis progression was conducted across the CRS7 low, intermediate, and high risk groups (coded in the model as 0, 1, and 2, respectively).
For cirrhosis detected on any biopsy, the association with the CRS7 risk group was evaluated by logistic regression. Odds ratios were reported for high and intermediate CRS7 risk groups relative to the low CRS7 risk group. Logistic regression models were also used to test for a linear trend of the proportion of subjects having cirrhosis across the CRS7 low, intermediate, and high risk groups.
Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the relative hazard of CRS7 risk group on time to hepatic decompensation and HCC through 8.7 years of observation. Hazard ratios for high and intermediate CRS7 risk groups were reported relative to the low CRS7 risk group. Kaplan-Meier estimates of the survivor functions for clinical outcome and HCC at 8 years of follow up were taken as estimates of the cumulative incidences of outcomes. Proportional hazards models were also used to test for a linear trend of the proportion of subjects having clinical outcome and HCC in the CRS7 low, intermediate, and high risk groups. Survival times were right censored and tied survival times were handled by the method of Efron [18].
All analyses except deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (see above) were performed in SAS 9.1.3 software. Reported confidence intervals were generated by large sample normal approximation methods. All p-values were derived from two-sided tests.
Among the 1050 randomized patients, 166/191 (86.9%) African-American, 686/752 (91.2%) Caucasian patients and 99/107 (92.5%) Hispanic patients and patients of other race or ethnicity consented to genetic testing. Of these 951 patients, 13 did not have adequate DNA available for testing. The characteristics of the 938 patients included in this analysis are shown in Table 1. The mean age of the patients was 50.1 years and 70.7% were men. There were 677 Caucasian (72.2%) and 165 (17.6%) African-American patients. Five-hundred and fifty-three (59.0%) patients had bridging fibrosis at baseline (Ishak 2, 3 or 4); of these, 493 (89.2 %) were evaluated for fibrosis progression. Sixty patients with missing follow-up biopsy data were not evaluated for fibrosis progression. Reasons for missing follow-up biopsy data were that the patient reached a clinical outcome, withdrew, missed the visit, had an adverse event, had low platelets, refused the biopsy or had an inadequate biopsy. All 938 randomized patients were evaluated for cirrhosis, clinical outcome and HCC.
Table 2 shows baseline characteristics of the patients by CRS7 risk group. Four-hundred and forty (47%) patients were in the high CRS7 risk group, 310 (33%) were in the intermediate CRS7 risk group and 188 (20%) were in the low CRS7 risk group. High and intermediate CRS7 risk groups had a significantly higher proportion of African-American patients, Hispanic patients and patients of other races. Caucasians had lower proportions of patients in the high and intermediate CRS7 risk groups. Differences were also observed in the distributions of age and serum alkaline phosphatase across the CRS7 risk groups. The CRS7 risk groups were otherwise similar in demographic, laboratory and other baseline factors including Ishak fibrosis score.
Table 3 shows individual SNP carrier frequencies by race for the 7 SNPs included in the CRS7 score, as well as the CRS7 score as a continuous variable. The HALT-C population is shown for all patients and by race. Comparison groups are from HapMap and two cohorts of patients with chronic hepatitis C that were included in previous studies on genetic markers of fibrosis conducted at Celera Diagnostics [8, 19]. No significant differences in CRS7 score were observed between HALT-C and non-HALT-C sample sets (p=0.72 for African American subjects, p=0.21 for Caucasian subjects).
Among the patients with bridging fibrosis on baseline liver biopsy, 29% (142/493) had fibrosis progression defined as ≥ 2-point increase in Ishak fibrosis score: 33.2%, 27.3% and 21.7% in the high, intermediate and low CRS7 risk groups, respectively (p=0.03) (Fig. 1). In multivariate models predicting fibrosis progression and adjusted for race, patient type, clinical site and treatment assignment, the Hazard Ratio (HR) for CRS7 (trend test) was 1.27 (95%CI: 1.01–1.58, p=0.04). The HR per 0.1-unit change in continuous CRS7 was 1.13 (95% CI 1.04–1.22, p=0.003) (Table 4). A model fit with CRS7 adjusted for race, gender, and the interaction effects of CRS7 and gender, did not indicate any differential risk of fibrosis progression between women and men across the CRS7 risk groups (p for interaction with intermediate CRS7=0.49, with high CRS7=0.72, data not shown). Results for models with Caucasians only were similar.
Cirrhosis was present on one or more biopsies in 58% (548/938) patients, 61.8%, 56.8% and 53.2% in the high, intermediate and low CRS7 risk groups, respectively (p=0.03) (Fig. 1). In multivariate models predicting cirrhosis and adjusted for race, treatment assignment, patient type and clinical site, the Odds Ratio (OR) for CRS7 (trend test) was 1.19 (95%CI: 1.00–1.41, p=0.05). The OR per 0.1-unit change in continuous CRS7 was 1.07 (95% CI 0.99–1.15, p=0.07) (Table 4). A model fit with CRS7 risk group adjusted for race, gender, and the interaction effects of CRS7 and gender, did not indicate any differential risk of cirrhosis between women and men across the CRS7 risk groups (p for interaction with intermediate CRS7 = 0.42, with high CRS7=0.63, data not shown). Results for models with Caucasians only were similar.
Two hundred and forty-eight patients developed at least one clinical outcome (cumulative incidence = 34.8% at 8 years of follow up), 37.0%, 37.6% and 25.6% in the high, intermediate and low CRS7 risk groups, respectively (p=0.17) (Fig. 1). In multivariate models predicting clinical outcome and adjusted for race, patient type, clinical site and treatment assignment, the HR for CRS7 (trend test) was 1.14 (95%CI: 0.97–1.35, p=0.12). The HR per 0.1-unit change in continuous CRS7 was 1.05 (95% CI 0.98–1.13, p=0.15) (Table 4). Results for models with Caucasians only were similar.
Seventy-six patients met HALT-C criteria for HCC (cumulative incidence = 12.6% at 8 years of follow up), 14.5%, 12.1% and 9.3% in the high, intermediate and low CRS7 risk groups respectively, p=0.07 (Fig. 1). In multivariate models predicting HCC and adjusted for race, patient type, clinical site, treatment assignment and presence of cirrhosis at baseline, the HR for CRS7 (trend test) was 1.34 (95%CI: 0.97–1.85, p=0.07). The HR per 0.1-unit change in continuous CRS7 was 1.09 (95% CI 0.96–1.25, p=0.19) (Table 4). Results for models with Caucasians only were similar.
Figure 2 shows ORs and HRs for the individual SNPs and CRS7 risk groups for all outcomes. Of the 7 SNPs, AZIN1 was significantly associated with fibrosis progression. The other 6 individual SNPs studied were not associated with any of the outcomes analyzed.
This analysis demonstrated that among patients with chronic hepatitis C, a higher rate of progression of fibrosis is associated with higher CRS7 scores, thus extending and validating the results of the original studies in which CRS7 was first developed and evaluated. However, the association is modest and is unlikely to be used to alter patient management. Because all patients in the HALT-C Trial had advanced fibrosis before enrollment, this cohort posed a stringent test for the predictive signature and suggests that the cirrhosis risk score is involved along the disease continuum. Indeed, the study by Marcolongo et al. found that the association between CRS7 and fibrosis progression was most evident in patients who had Metavir F0 on the initial biopsy [9].
Although CRS7 was derived originally from a cohort of Caucasian patients, it is noteworthy that our results were similar when the analysis included Caucasians, African-Americans, Hispanic and other ethnicities or Caucasians alone. It is possible that race is a potential confounder since it is associated with both allele frequencies and the outcomes of interest. We have attempted to address this in two ways. First, the odds ratios and hazard ratios among all randomized subjects were estimated from multivariate regression models which included race as a covariate, thus controlling for differences in allele frequencies. Second, we compared results among Caucasians only and all subjects and found that the results were similar. We acknowledge that appropriately powered studies including other ethnic groups should be analyzed separately to validate the utility of CRS7 as a predictor of fibrosis progression and cirrhosis in non-Caucasians.
CRS7 was less accurate in predicting clinical outcomes and HCC than in predicting severity of fibrotic liver disease. Statistical power to observe an association of CRS7 with the outcomes studied was constrained by the total number of subjects and the number of events observed for each outcome. The power to observe a significant trend test reached 90% when the odds/hazard ratio (trend test) was at least 1.3 for clinical outcome or at least 1.7 for HCC. Thus, this study would not have reliably found associations between CRS7 and clinical outcome or HCC of a lesser magnitude. Patients with high and intermediate risk scores in this study had a greater risk of clinical outcomes than patients with low risk scores, but the trend across scores was not statistically significant (p=0.12). Patients with high risk scores were more likely to develop HCC, statistically significant in unadjusted analysis, and a trend of borderline statistical significance in multivariate analysis (p=0.07). This association of HCC with high CRS7 was unexpected because of the relatively small number of patients (only 76) who developed HCC. Additional studies that include a larger number of well-characterized patients with HCC and controls should be performed to further evaluate the possible association between CRS7 and HCC and to determine if this is observed in patients with other etiologies of liver disease.
There are several limitations of this study that merit consideration. First, HALT-C patients entered the trial with advanced disease relative to the cross-sectional study from which CRS7 was derived. If some of the genetic variants in CRS7 score were associated with early steps in fibrosis progression, they would not have been observed in this cohort. Second, even though treatment in the HALT-C trial was reported not to alter outcomes, this study differed from earlier studies in that half of the patients were randomized to receive low dose pegylated interferon for up to 3.5 years. Third, the lower hazard for the score categories may be due to regression to the mean commonly observed with replication studies. Candidate genes are chosen for verification precisely because of their strong association in an initial study. In a replication study, the association may not be as strong.
There are many strengths in this study. Reported genetic associations have a long history of false positive results [20], i.e., not validated in external cohorts. The previous validations of CRS7 were performed in relatively small sample sets (N=154 subjects in the Huang et al. validation set, N=271 in Marcolongo's study and N=56 in Trepo's study). The large number of patients in this study (n=938) provides a needed additional level of evidence for this reported association [8–10]. In addition, previous longitudinal studies of CRS7 assessed subjects with varying intervals between biopsies while HALT-C provides a well-defined interval between biopsies (biopsies were performed at baseline, 1.5 and 3.5 years of follow-up), allowing estimates of the absolute risk of fibrosis progression across CRS7 risk groups during this time period. Further, the rigor of histological assessment was higher in HALT-C than in previous studies. In those studies, fibrosis staging was assessed by individual site pathologists while in the HALT-C trial, all biopsies were staged centrally by a panel of expert liver pathologists and fibrosis stage was assigned based on consensus of this panel.
Finally, this study included Caucasians, African-Americans as well as Hispanics and patients of other races while the other studies included Caucasians only. The results showed that CRS7 was predictive of fibrosis progression and of cirrhosis not only among Caucasians but also in the combined population of Caucasians, African-Americans, and to a much lesser extent other ethnic groups.
In conclusion, in a carefully characterized cohort of patients with chronic hepatitis C and advanced fibrosis, CRS7 was associated with fibrosis progression and with cirrhosis, the basis on which it was originally constructed. The level of characterization of CRS7 prior to this study, the prior adjustment for demographic and clinical risk factors for individual SNPs, and use of a "machine learning" algorithm to optimize included SNPs rather than simple assembly of associated individual SNPs to generate the score may have been key to the observed confirmation. Associations with clinical outcomes, including hepatic decompensation and HCC were also observed, but the associations were not as strong and the validity of these associations needs to be confirmed. Among the individual SNPs, AZIN1 was most strongly associated with fibrosis progression and cirrhosis. The association of a genetic risk score (CRS7) with disease progression should encourage mechanistic studies of the included genes to gain insight into the potential underlying biological mechanisms involved. The successful confirmation of this risk score should encourage further investigation of these gene variants and the combined score in other randomized controlled trials involving the endpoints studied.

As for other diseases, health professionals have all along persisted in seeking the cause/s of cirrhosis so that measures for curing, arresting early and even preventing this potentially fatal chronic liver viagra ratings reviews disease are identified and instituted. Interestingly, both Laennec and before him Matthew Baillie had associated the disease with excessive alcohol consumption. The livers seen at autopsy in cases dying of cirrhosis were not only of a yellow-brown rather than the normal dark brown hue but were also shrunken and diffusely nodular.
Laennec is credited to have christened the disease "Cirrhose" derived from the Greek word "Kirrhos" meaning tawny (tan or yellowbrown) because of the changed colour of the liver he saw at autopsy and recorded it in his famous treatise of viagra ratings reviews 1919 on invention of the stethoscope [1]. The name has continued to stay simply because an alternate justifiable one has not been forthcoming, even though this definition of the disease on the basis of morphologic appearance is widely divergent from the original meaning of the term Cirrhosis. Following this, for some time the disease was referred to as Laennec syndrome or Morgagni-Laennec syndrome but very soon the name Cirrhosis, English equivalent of Laennec"s term was universally accepted and used.
In due course however, several cases of cirrhosis were seen to have nodular livers without yellowish discoloration and the diagnosis of the disease cirrhosis came to be applied only to those with livers that were diffusely nodular as well as diffusely fibrotic but not necessarily yellowbrown [5].

Links to additional articles about "gets" on Z&R Family Law Blog
The information about the case, which became a Jewish cause celebre when Shur refused to give Porat a get, comes from sources including Blau and Green Road Synagogue Rabbi Emeritus Melvin Granatstein, who attended a rally outside Shur's house Nov. 8. Other sources are Rabbi Jeremy Stern, director of the New York-based Organization for the Resolution of Agunot; Andrew Zashin, a Cleveland divorce attorney who also writes a monthly column for the CJN; and the Dayton Jewish Observer.
"Agunot" means "chained woman," so an unchained woman with a get is free to remarry and reproduce. The offspring of a woman lacking a get are illegitimate, or bastards known as "mamzers," said Zashin.
In a Jewish divorce, the woman needs a get so she can remarry and reproduce, he said. If a woman has a child but no get, that child is a mamzer, "a certain Jewish status that exists forever and is passed on," like a curse. A mamzer can only marry a mamzer, he added.
"It's a horrible Jewish anachronism in our situation now, and that's why Orthodox people are now demanding a prenuptial agreement that demands that at the time of divorce, the husband must give the wife a get," Zashin added, calling the prenup the "Orthodox solution to this problem."
The pressure is on
Rabbi Granatstein and his wife, Malka, were among 80 people, mostly from Cleveland and Detroit, to attend that early-November rally in suburban Dayton. The Granatsteins knew Adina Porat's parents when they lived in the Cleveland area in the early 1990s.
A forum on issues surrounding the get took place in Beachwood Nov. 20-22, and ORA posted a video about Porat's situation on its website.
"In my life, I'm stuck in a prison," Porat said in the video. "I can't move on. I can't continue. The kids never had a chance to have a stepfather, a new family, and to continue with their lives."
Shur agreed to give Porat her get after ORA agreed to take down the video, which went viral, generating more than 68,000 views. It is no longer online. Shur signed the get in late December, according to the Observer newspaper. It took effect on Jan. 7.
Granatstein said he got the news about a week ago from Naomi Tabory, Adina's mother. Naomi and her husband, Rabbi Binyamin Tabory, live in Alun Shivod, Israel, near Jerusalem. Rabbi Tabory led a study institute, Torat Tzion Kollel, at Bet Sefer Mizrachi in University Heights in 1991-92. Bet Sefer Mizrachi is now Fuchs Mizrachi School in Beachwood.
Granatstein said Porat is a very private person, but her parents and children urged her to act. "With ORA we were really able to bring the heat to bear," he added, noting the reach and impact of the video. "That's the beauty of the Internet, that you can do things like this. More often than not, these things can work." Granatstein said he and Rabbi Tabory are "friends from our Yeshiva (University) days."
"I'm very, very happy for her and for her family," Blau said of Porat Jan. 13. "I'm happy that she's finally able to move on with her life and I'm particularly pleased for her father, who is very sick and really wanted to see this happen in his lifetime."
Blau said withheld gets aren't a "common problem" in Cleveland's Jewish community. "Even if it happens infrequently, that's too many times," he added.
Blau noted gets can be used for leverage and spite.
Rabbis play two positive roles in such situations, he said: "One is providing comfort and support to the woman during the process and the second is trying to find persuasive means of moving the husband to where he needs to be."
Here, the husband had left Israel for another country, changed his name and "wasn't part of a religious community," Blau said.
"In a smaller, tightknit community where the person remains in the community, social pressures are very persuasive," he added. "But in the modern era, where people just relocate, what was heartwarming about this case is social media allowed there to be pressure even though the person had left the community.
"The combination of the demonstration, the Facebook campaign and her video going viral really made a difference. After the campaign, a week later, she got the get."
The big get picture
According to Rabbi Jeremy Stern, who founded ORA in 2002, the Porat case is the 253rd ORA has resolved. The organization is working on 70 active agunah cases.
As for the Porat case, Stern pointed to the role of social pressure – and the power of shame. Asked what he thought turned the tide in favor of Porat, he replied in an email:
"This was a collaboration between many professionals and volunteers who worked together on Adina's behalf. ORA's social media campaign and peaceful demonstration outside of Dovid/Eli's home served as a major step forward in resolving the case. Those efforts shook him up and made him infamous, so it became clear to him that he could not flee again. In my humble opinion, that forced him to finally come to face with what he had done by refusing to give a get. Adina's attorney worked extremely hard in structuring a final resolution to the case in which all outstanding issues would be resolved and neither side would further pursue the other."

Mobilis moors first polyethylene tsunami buoy in Japan
World leading buoy manufacturer MOBILIS has installed its first tsunami data buoy in Japan, the DB 16000. (11th December 2014)
The data buoy, which has been in development for the past 3 years, is designed to detect potential tsunamis and warn the authorities by data transmitted ashore via radio and an Iridium satellite communication system.
With a hull measuring 3.6m in diameter, the DB 16000 is the largest of the Mobilis data buoy range with an overall height of over 10m. The buoy's hull is manufactured from multiple-section polyethylene floats and is the first PE buoy to be used in this sort of application. The buoy's large hull supports an impressive marine grade aluminium tower, which provides a focal plane of 6.75m and also allows its large meteorological equipment payloads to be placed in a protected location.
Mobilis have over 20 years of experience producing robust, flexible and IALA compliant buoys renowned for their longevity, strength and adaptability. Hydrosphere UK Ltd is the exclusive distributor of Mobilis navigation buoys, zone marking buoys and data buoy platforms for the UK and Ireland and their customers include the MOD, Met Office, Northern Lighthouse Board, Commissioners of Irish Lights and numerous research institutes and offshore energy sites. Most recently they were chosen to supply the data buoy for Cornwall's prestigious wave hub project. For more information on the data buoys supplied by Hydrosphere throughout the UK, take a look at our data buoy case studies page.

A spokeswoman for the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island told The Beaufort Gazette that officials would not talk about exactly what happened when Pfc. Nick Battles was hurt Nov. 9 because it is still under investigation.
A blog set up by Battles' family says the Tampa native collided with a fellow recruit on the last field day of basic training. The collision injured his spine, paralyzing Battles below his chest.
The family says Battles is rehabilitating in a Tampa hospital and was promoted to private first class while in the hospital.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by jm10 Peace, love and light stitch Gauzy. Sheer. Floaty. Boho. Summer love. At first I thought this was too close fitting but after a few minutes the gauze warmed up and grew a little and began to feel loose and flow-y, and my inner hippie was so happy. The black is a little washed out so the top looks like it's been to some concerts and frolicked in a few meadows. You know, just like me. July 14, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5Â by JuanaB Sheerer than I realized. Nice looking and comfy but more see through than I realized. Camisole or tank seems important. The neck is lower and wider than I expected. Shows cleavage for chesty girls. But at the sale price, worth picking up a camisole. July 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Ally7 Big and a little stiff The shirt runs big. I bought one in size XS and it is still pretty baggy for me. I was looking to wear it over skinny jeans or tights. The material is a little stiff and looks awkward with the 3/4 sleeves. I am hoping it will soften up and fall freely after I wash it. Another thing I wish was different is the V-cut on the neck. It is too deep, showing my bra. I have to either pin it closed or wear a tank top under it. I bought this shirt on sale and can not return or exchange it. So I have to find a way to make it work for me. If I could, I would have returned it! July 12, 2014
