However, most consumers have no idea what "IoT" means. Creating more wearables that track data shouldn't be the aim of brands; delivering meaningful, tangible relevance to their users should be.

BACKGROUND:Since the number of publications about rehabilitation has been increasing over the years, there is necessity for reviews to have a more complete overlook of the evidence. The Cochrane Collaboration provides high quality reviews from which we can draw the most reliable clinical indications. Since 2007 EJPRM lists and presents systematically all these reviews.
AIM: The aim of the present paper was to systematically review all the new rehabilitation papers published from April 2011 up to July 2011 by the Cochrane Library in order to provide physicians involved in the field a summary with the best evidence nowadays available.
METHODS:The authors systematically searched all the new papers of rehabilitative interest published from February 2, 2011 to April 22, 2011 in the Cochrane Library. The retrieved papers have been then divided in subgroups according to their topic and the Cochrane Groups.
RESULTS: The number of included papers was 8 (7 new reviews and 1 update review). A synthesis of abstracts is presented.
CONCLUSION: The increased number of publication created a new need, the need of synthesising results to overcome conflicting evidence. The Cochrane Collaboration has been working on this aspect for many years, and its reviews, being systematic, are really relevant for professional update and to improve clinical practice. This article provides an overview of the most recent papers published in the Cochrane Library to help physiatrists and rehabilitation experts to be up to date.

ALANA LITWAK, PETITIONERv.COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION BOARD OF REVIEW, RESPONDENT. TEMPLE UNIVERSITY, INTERVENOR
Appeal from the Order of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review in the case of In Re: Claim of Alana Litwak, No. B-190334.
Andrew F. Erba, for petitioner.
John Kupchinsky, Associate Counsel, with him Richard C. Lengler, Associate Counsel, and Richard L. Cole, Jr., Chief Counsel, for respondent.
Arlene D. Fisk, with her Theodore J. Martineau, Ballad, Spahr, Andrews & Ingersoll, for intervenor.
President Judge Crumlish, Jr. and Judges Blatt and Doyle, sitting as a panel of three. Opinion by President Judge Crumlish, Jr. Judge Mencer did not participate in the decision in this case.
[ 68 Pa. Commw. Page 467]
Alana Litwak appeals an Unemployment Compensation Board of Review denial of benefits. We affirm.
Litwak was a "floater"*fn1 in Temple University's Woodhaven Center client care section. She was notified by her superior that she was being permanently assigned to the Willowood facility to toilet assist 5 to 12 year old retarded children. Litwak argued with her superior and refused the assignment. She asserted that she was ill and left. She was discharged for insubordination. The Board, adopting the referee's findings, concluded that she was ineligible for benefits because her conduct amounted to willful misconduct.*fn2
The employer has the burden of proving willful misconduct. Once willful misconduct is proven, the burden then rests with the claimant to show justification
[ 68 Pa. Commw. Page 468]
for the misconduct. Gwin v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 58 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 69, 71, 427 A.2d 295, 297 (1981). Since Litwak failed to meet that burden, our scope of review is limited to determining whether the conclusions of law and findings of the Board can be sustained without a capricious disregard of competent evidence. Id.
Issues of willful misconduct and justification are both questions of law subject to our review. Id. Here the Board adopted the referee's findings that:
3. On June 11, 1980, because of an emergency situation, claimant was assigned by the assistant director to work permanently at Willowood, overseeing 5 to 12 year old children.
4. Claimant objected vehemently to the assignment which she considered highly undesirable because of the high rate of turnover of personnel in that unit.
5. The assistant director indicated to claimant that she should take the assignment for that evening and negotiate (through the union) thereafter.
6. Claimant refused to accept the assignment and stormed out.
7. She returned within minutes and told the assistant director she was leaving on sick leave, calling the assistant director a foul name.
8. Claimant was terminated for refusal of assignment.
Litwak asserts*fn3 that she never refused to work that night. She had only refused the permanent assignment.
[ 68 Pa. Commw. Page 469]
Issues of credibility are solely for the referee who is the factfinder. Doyle v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 57 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 494, 426 A.2d 756 (1981). Here, the referee determined that Litwak had refused the assignment for that night. We conclude that this finding can be sustained without a capricious disregard of competent evidence.
The order of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, No. B-190334 dated December 8, 1980, is affirmed.

Hey girls, sorry I've been so MIA lately. I tend to post here in spurts.
We've been doing pretty good here. Judah is a relatively happy baby with bright eyes and an easy smile. He's still little (about 14lbs) but gaining and is content most of the time.
However we are having some major issues with sleeping. And please don't judge me when I say this but because DH approached me about it and we talked through it, we've been doing CIO.
Originally he was sleeping until about 4, I would feed him and he would sleep until 6-6:30 which is when I have to get up with my son anyway so it worked out fine. However, he would always wake up at least once between the time I put him to bed and when I fed him and I would have to get up and give him his paci.
Then it got worse. J was waking up every hour from about 1am - 3am and I would finally feed him at 3 but then he would be up again at 5 and then at 6:30. To me, at 5 months old he shouldn't be waking up more than once to eat at night, especially if he was waking up at 6 for the day. And it was so rough on my sleep and on DH's sleep because he would often hear me getting up out of bed and hear me being frustrated that I had to keep getting up over and over.
So last Monday after a really rough night we decided to try letting him CIO. DH let me go in to soothe him but he probably cried for ... a couple hours. He ended up going to sleep though and then waking at about 4:30 to eat, then not until 7ish. The next night was a lot better and we had mostly good nights for the rest of the week.
Enter this week. For the past two nights he has woken up at about 2am and he cries and cries. My alarm goes off at 4am to feed him but the past two nights I haven't even remembered turning it off and then at about 5:30 I wake up and hear him crying (still?) and finally feed him, then he sleeps until 8 after that.
Also, coincidentally, he just changed his feeding schedule during the day from eating 7 times to eating 6 times. Clearly, he's hungry when he wakes up at night because soothing him doesn't work. Once DH went in and held him and he was just wide awake and rooting around. But shouldn't he be able to make up for it during the day if he doesn't get it at night? I let him eat as often as he wants during the day. Today I had to wake him up from his nap because it had been over four hours since he had eaten.
At this point, I really really hate letting him cry for hours and hours at night. It breaks me apart. But what is my alternative? It's been a LONG time since he ate more than once at night so he's not used to doing that at all but why does he keep waking up anyway?

Then, low pressure will move northeast from the Southern Plains towards the region Saturday night and Sunday, and possibly into Monday, with snow.

Even colder air will move into the Great Lakes region behind a cold front expected to move through around the middle of next week. && .UPDATE... Issued at 934 PM EST Fri Dec 9 2016 Lake effect snow showers will continue through the remainder of the overnight. Additional accumulations should be less than an inch with fairly dry 850-700 mb profiles. Fetch will remain favorable for continued lake effect snow showers overnight but will be lessened in magnitude by slight backing of low level winds toward Saturday morning. No major forecast changes will be made at this time. && .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Saturday) Issued at 242 PM EST Fri Dec 9 2016 Dry entrainment along srn periphery of ongoing lake effect shsn continues to mitigate significant additional snow accumulations. Thus with aftn issuance will sandbag remain advisory counties. That said expect light snow showers will continue for much of the night across sw MI particularly through Berrien and Cass county within short fetch wrly flow. Hwvr overall poor moisture depth/shallow inversion will yield 1/2 inch or less additional. Otherwise primary attention turns toward potent sw disturbance off the WA coast this aftn coming onshore tonight. Rapid development of downstream waa seen in all model guidance by late Sat aftn although forcing/moisture advection overtop cold dome minimal initially and does not ramp appreciably until daybreak Sun in response to ewd translation of intensifying low level jet.

While details still sketchy... satellite depiction of upstream sw over the nepac ocean this aftn gives a preferred nod toward stronger solutions aloft. This would yield to a threat of mixed precip through srn areas by Sun aftn/evening yet also point to a period of heavy snow potential Sun morning through Sun aftn (north). In the least will issue a Winter Storm Outlook this aftn to highlight the potential for significant snowfall accumulations (6-10") late this weekend especially US 30 north. Thereafter perturbed nrn stream flow develops within stout north to south baroclinic zone stretching from the central plains east through the OH valley. Lots of signal noise/spread indicated mid period (Tue) with potential sys streaking through the TN/OH valley and again toward next Fri/Sat.

First loss for Patriots
PARKERSBURG – Any thoughts of running the table were left by the wayside for the Parkersburg South boys basketball team.
Two weeks after winning at Morgantown, Parkersburg South suffered its first loss of the season to those same Mohigans who were without their head coach.
Behind 20 points and six rebounds from Scottie Core, Morgantown won its third straight game after defeating the Patriots 59-56 Thursday at the Rod Oldham Athletic Center.
Fourth-ranked South drops to 10-1 with a road game upcoming Saturday at Parkersburg High.
"Losing in our home gym is the one thing that really disappoints me," Parkersburg South coach Mike Fallon said. "Something was weird tonight, but this is not one of those games where you hit the panic button.
"It's killing me inside because as a coach it crosses your mind that maybe we could have run the table. Maybe now we can exhale and move on."
On a night when South converted just 48 percent (11-of-23) from the free-throw line, the Patriots still had several chances to either tie or win the game in the late stages.
After Tyler Berry's baby hook and ensuing free throw completed a three-point play with 3 1/2 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, South trailed 56-54. The difference remained two for South's next trip downcourt, which resulted in Dylan Rippeto's 3-point try go in and out of the cylinder.
South trailed the entire second half, but had one last gasp in the final 10 seconds as Cody Monroe's game-tying 3-point attempt hit the front of the rim just before the buzzer sounded.
"The game should not have come down to that," Fallon said. "The game should not have come down to one possession. We just didn't play well. We just didn't seem ready and as a coach I'll take all the blame.
"We missed a lot of free throws, but we also missed a lot of defensive assignments."
South's Logan Lawrentz made three 3-pointers and finished with 15 points. The same output given by Berry off the bench. Berry also pulled down a team-high six rebounds.
Contributing in the scoring column for Morgantown (5-5) were Steven Solomon with nine points, and Thomas Selby and Shaun Carden with eight points apiece.
Mohigan head coach Tom Yester was serving the second of a four-game suspension. In his absence, assistant coach Denny Crouso steered the ship.
"I'm just keeping the seat warm for coach Yester," Crouso said. "We have a program that we teach and I'm just trying to keep the car going in the right direction."
In their previous 10 games, it was a rarity to see the Patriots trailing. Yet, that was the case as Morgantown built an 18-12 lead in the final minute of the first quarter.
JR Kerr then sparked a 10-0 run by South with three assists and a bucket of his own as the Patriots pulled ahead 22-18 midway in the second quarter.
The South advantage remained three in the final two minutes of the period when Morgantown reeled off seven straight points, including three on bench player Tyler Shipley's only bucket of the game. At halftime, the Mohigans led 30-28.
"We thought that was the worst half of basketball we had played all year, and we were only down two," Fallon said. "Other than Wheeling Park, that was the first time we were playing from behind after the first quarter."
Core contributed an assist and a bucket as Morgantown opened the second half with six straight points. The lead ballooned to as many as 10 points at 48-38 on consecutive 3-pointers from Core.
Three free throws from Logan Fryfogle combined with a pair of field goals from Berry whittled the deficit to 52-51 by the 5:47 mark of the fourth quarter. South, though, could not get over the hump as Morgantown kept possessions to a minimum
"We wanted to make them guard us, for a while," Crouso said. "South is so good on offense, we didn't want to guard them all night."

The ETF filings and launches are coming fast and furious. The latest round sees three new funds from an existing provider, as well as a filing for a slew of new funds from a well-known index provider.
Old Mutual Global Index Trackers has introduced three new foreign and domestic ETFs. They are attempting to capture more of the ETF market, as the industry begins to grow more rapidly than ever. Old Mutual first appeared on the ETF scene late last year after launching the GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund (GSR). Since the launch, the fund has amassed about $65 million in assets.
The new funds are:
- GlobalShares FTSE All Cap Asia Pacific ex Japan Fund (GSZ)
- GlobalShares FTSE All-World ex-US Fund (GSO)
- GlobalShares FTSE All-World Fund (GSW)
Russell Investments is already a player in the ETF industry as an index provider; now it's planning to launch 11 proprietary ETFs. Although iShares and other ETF providers currently license Russell's indexes, none of the funds in registration will track already-licensed indexes. Experts say the move is a good one for Russell, because the provider could make more in fees, says Jessica Toonkel Marques for Investment News.

Vocal fold vibration is vital in voice production and the correct pitch of speech. We have developed a high speed functional optical coherence tomography (OCT) system with a center wavelength of 1050 nm and an imaging speed of 100,000 A-lines per second. We imaged the vibration of an ex-vivo swine vocal fold. At an imaging speed of 100 frames per second, we demonstrated high quality vocal fold images during vibration. Functional information, such as vibration frequency and vibration amplitude, was obtained by analyzing the tissue surface during vibration. The axial direction velocity distribution in the cross-sectional images of the vibrating vocal folds was obtained with the Doppler OCT. The quantitative transverse direction velocity distribution in the cross-sectional images was obtained with the Doppler variance images.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a powerful interferometric technology used to obtain cross-sectional tissue images noninvasively with micrometer resolution, millimeter penetration depth, and a video-rate imaging speed [1]. Due to its non-contact and high resolution nature, OCT has become a valuable tool in a number of medical fields. Recently, OCT technique has been increasingly used to perform functional imaging as well. Doppler optical coherence tomography (DOCT) or optical Doppler tomography (ODT) is one kind of functional extension of OCT, which combines the Doppler principle with OCT. ODT has been widely used for in-vivo imaging of blood flow in live animals and human beings [2–7].
Clinically, vocal fold vibration has been widely imaged using laryngeal videostroboscopy and high speed video, as these methods provide clinically relevant important information on vocal fold behavior in health and pathology. Lohscheller et al. obtained functional information regarding the vibration vocal folds, such as vibrating frequency, velocity, and acceleration [8–10]. Although videostroboscopy provides an excellent method to dynamically assess the vocal folds, it only provides information on the surface of the vocal folds; therefore, the condition of the vocal folds underneath the surface remains unknown using these systems. There is a wide spectrum of diseases that can occur in the vocal folds, including benign polyps, premalignant and malignant lesions. Differentiating these afflictions using only direct visualization can be difficult and a biopsy is often required. The key element to differentiate these lesions has to do with visualizing the integrity of the basement membrane. A loss of the basement membrane integrity is a hallmark of cancers of the vocal fold. Currently, there is no reliable noninvasive method to diagnose laryngeal cancer without introducing a biopsy. However, doing a biopsy in the vocal folds can come with its own risk of creating permanent damage to the vocal folds; therefore, the importance of using a noninvasive imaging method that can visualize below the surface of the vocal cords, such as Ultrasound, and OCT, is highly practical. Ultrasound has also been used to image the vibrating vocal folds [11–13]. Although functional information can be obtained from an ultrasound, color Doppler ultrasound images suffer from low resolution and low frame rate. Hence, there is immense value in being able to image dynamically and in real-time image the structure and characteristics of the vibrating vocal folds, as much pathology is below the thin subsurface of this organ. Recently, imaging vibration vocal folds using OCT has been demonstrated by several groups [14–16]. Lüerßen et al. demonstrated the vibration vocal fold OCT image at an imaging speed of 10 frames per second [14]. Our group has demonstrated in-vivo imaging of human vibrating vocal folds with a 1.3 µm, 20 kHz swept source OCT system and a hand-held probe [15]. Functional information, such as vibrating frequency, was obtained by analysis of the OCT structure images. Kober et al. used a triggered 10 kHz swept source OCT system to image the excised half calf larynx [16]. With the help of the particle image analysis method, the authors obtained the velocity vector in the cross section images from the OCT structure images.
For humans, the actual vocal fundamental frequencies vary by sex. In females it is approximately 200 Hz and in males it is approximately 120 Hz. For imaging such high frequency movement, a high speed imaging system is essential to provide high frame rate images for the analysis. In addition, Doppler OCT requires much more dense scanning between A-lines. In order to cover a large enough field of view and obtain high quality Doppler images at the same time, a fast system is essential to provide high frame rate.
In this paper, we demonstrate functional imaging of vibrating vocal folds ex-vivo with a high speed swept source OCT and ODT system. The system has a maximum imaging speed of 100 kHz A-line per second, a central wavelength of 1.05 µm, and a depth resolution of 7 µm. The functional information regarding the vibrating vocal folds, such as vibrating frequency, vibrating amplitude, and speed was obtained by fitting the surface curve of the vibrating vocal fold. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time high quality and cross-sectional velocity distribution images of the vibrating vocal fold were obtained with an OCT and ODT system at a frame rate of 100 frames per second.
The schematic of the OCT and ODT system is shown in Fig. 1 . The laser source is a high speed swept laser source with a central wavelength of 1050 nm and a sweeping speed of 100 kHz (Axsun Technology, Billerica, MA). The MEMS-based compact laser source has a high coherence length (>10 mm), and these MEMS-based swept source OCT systems have demonstrated a high sensitivity roll-off in ophthalmology applications [17]. The laser source output is split into the reference and sample arms by a 20:80 coupler with 80% in the reference arm and 20% in the sample arm. In the reference arm, the light is further split by a 95:5 coupler. About 95% of the light in the reference is sent to cause interference with the collected back-reflection or backscattering signal from the sample. This interference signal is detected by a balanced photon detector and digitized by a high speed digitizer (ATS 9350, Alazar Technologies Inc., Pointe-Claire, QC, Canada). The remaining 5% of the light in the reference arm is sent to a non-balanced photon-detector after passing through cover slides and is then finally digitized by another channel in the digitizer. The system can work in two modes, i.e. OCT or ODT modes. In OCT mode, only the signal from the channel that connects to the balanced photon-detector is acquired and digitized. In ODT mode, signals from both channels are acquired. The measured system sensitivity is 101.2 dB around the zero path difference.
The phase stability of the system is very important for a phase resolved Doppler OCT system. Due to the mechanical scanning components used in the tunable filters of the swept source laser, the swept source laser based FD ODT systems encounter worse phase stability issues than spectrometer-based FD ODT systems. Usually, a static surface may be added as a reference to correct phase error and improve the phase stability. Our group has used the top surface of chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) as a reference to obtain the blood flow in a CAM [18]. Vakoc et al. have proposed a method to tap 1% of the sample arm and direct it at a calibration mirror, which is positioned near the maximum imaging range of the system [19]. In this manuscript, a common-path method was used to correct phase errors similar to that presented by Adler et al. [20]. We tapped 5% of the light from the reference arm and pass it through a cover glass with a thickness of 1mm. The two surfaces of the cover glass generated an inference fringe. This produced a reference surface at a depth corresponding to the thickness of the cover glass. By subtracting a portion of the phase difference of the reference surface location from the phase difference of the sample signal, the phase error was corrected [19]. Figures 2 (a) and 2(b) show the OCT structure image and the phase difference between successive A-lines before correction for a mirror respectively. Figure 2(c) shows the phase difference between successive A-lines after the correction. The improvement can be clearly seen by comparing the images in Fig. 2(b) and Fig. 2(c). In the method proposed here, the reference surface calibration was obtained by taking a portion of the reference arm light in order to be detected by another channel of the digitizer. The sample signals were not affected by the calibration procedure, so that the system parameters, such as sensitivity and imaging range, were kept just the same as in a normal non-calibration procedure.
Fresh porcine larynges, with an intact trachea, were obtained from a local biological tissues supply company. Then, larynges were dissected with removal of supraglottic tissue exposing the vocal fold, but leaving key structures (arytenoid cartilages, anterior commissure, thyroid cartilage) intact. A nylon suture was placed to approximate position the arytenoid cartilages and thus create adduction of the vocal folds. Once the vocal folds were exposed, the larynx was mounted on a custom made mount and air supply device. A cuffed endotracheal tube was placed from below into the trachea, and to avoid air leakage the cuff was inflated. Then, warm air at different flow velocities was delivered through the endotracheal tube through the trachea and past the glottis to vibrate the vocal folds. Figures 3 (a) and (b) show the side view and top view photographs of the larynges mounted on the holder. A total of 6 larynges were prepared and investigated in this study.
The M-mode was first used to image the vibrating vocal fold. In M-mode imaging, the laser beam is not scanning and OCT images provide the depth profile of a single location at different times. The location of the incident beam is shown as the red dot in Fig. 3(b). Figure 4 shows the M-mode OCT structure image. The oscillation pattern of the vocal fold can be clearly seen from the images. The parameters such as oscillation period, amplitude, and speed are important to analysis of the imaged sample. In order to get these parameters, we first found the surface curve of the vocal fold by an intensity threshold method. The surface is overlapped with the OCT image as depicted by the solid red line in Fig. 4. Hsaio et al. used a bilaterally fixed-ends vibrating string model to simulate the vocal vibration [11]. At a fixed location, the surface curve can be described by a sine function:
where is the surface location at time t, A is the amplitude of the vibration, wis the period of the vibration, and are two parameters decided by the acquisition start time and initial surface location of the sample at rest respectively. By fitting the surface curve in Fig. 4 with Eq. (1), these parameters can be obtained. Figure 5 shows the curve fitting results together with the data. Clearly, the sine function fits well with the curve of tissue surface movement, especially in the down slope of the vibration. The amplitude Awas found to be and w was 5.3 ms. The period was 10.6 ms and the vibration frequency was 94.3 Hz. From equation, the velocity of the tissue surface movement can also be obtained. This can be obtained with the following equation:
where the velocity at the tissue surface and the other parameters are the same as in Eq. (1). The maximum velocity is shown in Eq. (3), which is 0.415 m/s in this case.
We obtained the velocity of the tissue surface with the above mentioned fitting method. In addition to the velocity of the tissue surface, the velocity distribution beneath the tissue surface is also valuable. Kobler et al. have used a particle image velocimetry to obtain the velocity distribution [16]. In our case, we used the phase resolved ODT to obtain the velocity distribution. Phase resolved ODT has been used to image blood vessels in tissue; in addition, it utilizes the phase difference between adjacent A-lines to estimate the velocity value along the incident light beam direction. The Doppler frequency caused by the sample movement in the axial direction can be obtained by the following equation:
where is the Doppler frequency, is the sample velocity along the light beam direction, is the central wavelength of the incident beam, is the phase difference between adjacent A-lines, and Tis the time difference between adjacent A-lines. Figure 6 shows the velocity distribution of a cross-sectional image obtained with the phase resolved Doppler method. In Fig. 6 a quasi-periodic pattern was caused by phase wrapping, and the phase difference is wrapped between and π. However, wrapped phase images also give the qualitative information regarding the acceleration. The absolute value of the velocity can be obtained using the following simple method.
According to Eq. (4), we can find that the velocity may be expressed as:
In this experiment, μm, μs, and corresponds to a velocity difference of 0.0525 m/s. In Fig. 6, the black striations, as indicated by the white arrows, correspond to a velocity value of m/s, where n is an integer. The regions with are decided based upon the peak and valley location of the oscillation. The values for n in the other regions can then be decided by their relative distance to the region. In Fig. 6, the maximum n is 7 and the maximum velocity is between the velocities 0.3675 m/s and 0.42 m/s, which correspond to n=7 and n=8, respectively. Therefore, this value is close to the maximum velocity value obtained with the previous fitting method which shows the value is 0.415 m/s. For Fig. 6 we can find that the velocity distribution in the down slope region is different from that in the up slope region. In the down slope, the velocity distribution pattern of the tissue surface is more like a sine function. The velocity changes fast at the peak and valley regions, and it changes slower at the waist region. However, in the up slope the velocity distribution pattern cannot be seen clearly.
The B-mode OCT and ODT images are shown in Figs. 7(a) and 7(b). The solid green line in Fig. 3(b) shows the location of the scanning trace. When analyzing B-mode images, we should pay attention that the B-mode images are not "snap-shot" images of the vibration sample, because each A-line is obtained at a different time. Taking the B-mode image as a "snap-shot" image may cause misleading results, especially when the frame rate of the system is close to or slower than the vibration frequency of the sample. A sliding window covering 50-100 A-lines may be used to analyze these images. The information provided in this window can be considered as an "instant" or "snap-shot" image. Using the same analysis method proposed in the previous section, we can obtain the velocity distribution in the B-mode cross-sectional images. Similarly, from the ODT image in Fig. 7(b), the velocity distribution in the up slope and that of the down slope are different. As mentioned, this image is not a "snap-shot" image and the slopes mentioned here are different from the actual "instant" slopes of vibrating vocal folds. The velocity distribution pattern of the B-mode image is similar to that of the M-mode image. In the down slope, the velocity distribution is more like a sine function. In addition, the velocity changes faster at the peak and valley regions and slower at the waist region. Consequently, the acceleration is larger at the peak and valley regions and smaller at the waist region. However, the acceleration in the up slope is more uniform than that in the down slope, and the acceleration at the peak region is larger than that at the valley region. On the other hand, from Fig. 5 we are able to see that the sine function fitting of the vibrating tissue surface works better during the down slope than during the up slope. Clearly, the mechanics of vocal fold vibration are very complex. The vibration takes place not only in the vertical direction but also in the horizontal direction. In the setup used here, phase resolved color Doppler can only detect the velocity in the vertical direction. Doppler variance is an extension of the Doppler imaging technique; it uses the bandwidth of the Doppler spectrum to quantify the transverse speed of the imaging sample [21]. The transverse velocity of the vibrating vocal fold with the Doppler variance image is quantified in Fig. 7(c). We can see that the horizontal velocity is high at the waist region and low at the peak and valley region.
Due to the limited penetration depth of the OCT, the velocity distribution at greater depths inside the tissue cannot be resolved with the current technique. Slower vibrations may ease the requirement for deeper penetration, and some mechanical properties may be found from the superficial layers of the vocal fold. By controlling the volume of the air flow rate, we are able to control the frequency and amplitude of the vocal fold vibration. Figure 8 shows a B-mode OCT structure, color Doppler, and Doppler variance images of the vocal fold vibrating at slow frequency and small amplitude. The images are acquired at 100 frames per second. Figure 9 is the movie of the B-mode images replayed at a slower 10 frames per second. The velocity distribution at different time points can be seen from the movie. Figure 10 shows four ODT images extracted from the movie with the time difference between adjacent images being 12 milliseconds. The velocity distribution in the cross-section of the vocal fold can be obtained by the color Doppler images. An interesting phenomenon is that the change in velocity is in the radial direction, as pointed out by the blue arrows in Fig. 10. Although this phenomenon has been found in the waist region of the fast vibration case, as shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, this phenomenon is more evident in the case of slower vibration like that in Fig. 10. Furthermore, the radial directed velocity in this area is changing when the wave travels from right to the left, as shown in the progression of Fig. 10(a)-(d). For these images, we can also quantify the wave traveling speed in the horizontal direction. The distance between the two yellow vertical lines in Fig. 10(a) and Fig. 10(c) is . Since the time difference between Fig. 10(a) and Fig. 10(c) is 24 ms (12 ms x 2 = 24 ms), the velocity for the transverse wave is 9.3 mm/s (assume a constant velocity for the wave).
For phase resolved Doppler OCT, the minimum detectable velocity is decided by the phase stability of the system. For the current setup, the phase stability of the system is measured to be less than 5 milliradians. According to Eq. (5) in this manuscript, this phase stability corresponds to a speed of 42 μm/s. The maximum speed with Doppler OCT is usually decided by the phase wrapping, which corresponds to a phase difference of . Furthermore, this phase difference corresponds to a speed of 0.0525 m/s. With the method introduced in section 3.1 of this paper, or phase unwrapping methods, we are able to obtain a velocity larger than 0.0525 m/s. The accurate results that the system can provide are dependent upon the velocity, frequency, and amplitude of the vibration sample. The velocity is decided by the amplitude and frequency of the vibration sample. When the sample is vibrating too fast, the Doppler effect will induce erroneous depth information, and the axial resolution will be degraded [16, 22]. The duty cycle of the laser used in this study is around 50%, and the actual integration time period for one single A-line is around 5 μs. If we set the intolerable axial sample movement during one integration period as the axial resolution (7 μm) of the current system [16, 22], then the axial direction velocity that will not introduce an intolerable depth is 1.4 m/s in our setup. The largest velocity demonstrated in this experiment is 0.415 m/s. This corresponds to an axial movement of around 2 μm during the integration time of one A-line.
As mentioned in section 3.2, the B-mode images are not "snap-shot" images of the vibration sample. When the frame rate of the system is slower than the vibration frequency of the sample, the information for the whole frame is not obtained at the same time and taking the B-mode image as a "snap-shot" image may cause misleading results. However, the velocity and acceleration information provided by color Doppler and Doppler variance images are corrected because the phase resolved methods use 2 adjacent A-lines to obtain this information. A sliding window covering 50-100 A-lines was used to analyze these B-mode images in this study. The information provided in this window can be considered as an "instant" or "snap-shot" image. In order to obtain a "snap-shot" like B-scan image, the frame rate of the system must be much higher than the vibration frequency. This may be realized by decreasing the number of A-lines per frame or by increasing the A-line speed of the swept source laser.
Although bulk motion is not applicable in our current experiment, the human bulk motion will affect the results of the Doppler OCT for awake patient imaging. There is extensive experience regarding bulk motion from OCT ophthalmology applications [23,24]. The bulk motion will introduce bulk phase and usually the structural images will not be affected. The vibration frequency, amplitude and period are extracted from the structure images and we estimate that the bulk motion will not affect the extraction of these parameters. However, the velocity information is obtained with the phase-revolved method and will be affected by bulk motion. The bulk motion artifacts may not be able to be eliminated with the histogram-based statistic method usually adopted in ophthalmology application. A way to minimize this effect is to increase the speed of the system so that the imaging time is reduced. In the current setup for B-mode imaging, the imaging speed is 100 frames per second with 1000 A lines per frame. We can increase the frame rate further by decreasing the number of A lines per frame or by increasing the sweeping rate the laser by a buffering technique [17].
Functional imaging of vibrating ex-vivo porcine vocal folds was demonstrated with a high speed swept source OCT and ODT system. The functional information regarding the vibrating vocal folds was obtained with this high speed system. The tissue surface of the vibrating vocal folds was extracted to obtain functional information such as vibration amplitude, vibration frequency, velocity, and acceleration. Color Doppler and Doppler variance methods were used to obtain the velocity distribution characteristics in the cross sections. Essentially, the use of this system or one similar to it by physicians in otolaryngology could show how laryngeal carcinomas and other afflictions differ from baseline characteristics, because factors such as velocity are monitored to show how the inertial movement of the tissue is affected.

It's upsell season. That's right, sell time. If you walk into any Starbucks' in the country currently, Howard and his marketing geniuses have little trays of their latest concoction on the counter, sampling the favorite Frappuccino of the Future, teasing our taste-buds with drinks that mixologists invent in sterilized rooms. And, it works. How about the Banana Coconut Frappuccino that has been out for the past three weeks or so? It makes you want to run home, put on a flowered shirt and head for the surf. If Howard knows one thing, it is marketing and up-selling. We should all take a lesson from the genius of coffee lingo. Who else in the world can change a language and a tast bud with something as simple as coffee? I knew when my step father reached into his right-side chino pocket and pulled out $3.00 plus for a Starbucks' coffee that the man at the top had done his job. It is a mitacle. And, now the guy is hooked. Before hhe drank Howard's formula for success he hung at Great Harvest Bread Company, drinking brown brewed swill from a styrofoam cup and sampling complimentary slices of Cranberry Bread.
The lesson that Howard is teaching all who want to ocapture the lesson is something we should instill in our employees daily. Upsell. As I walked down Stockton Street yesterday a Starbucker was out on the sidewalk, tray in hand, barking the name of his samples as though I were on the boardwalk at Coney Island. And, I took one. And, for the first time in my life I am hooked on a concoction that resembles a Malt without the ice cream. A Frappe as they were referred to on the East Coast decades ago.
Sampling works. Let your staff try it with wine, and appetizers, and desserts. On occassion, divide up a new entree item between a table of four and send it out as a complimentary sample. Or, take a tray of miniature appetizers and walk through the dining room just before the dinner rush with a tasing of things to come.
Everywhere we turn people are sampling their products. Safeway, Costco, Lunds, Byerly's, Whole Foods, Starbucks, Oakville Grocery, Sonoma Market and the recently opened Fig Pantry in Sonoma entice palates daily with pieces of product that turn the bottom line into enjoyable viewing. And, in most instances, your vendors may compensate for sampling product.
But yet, the one industry based on the consumption of delicate flavors or hearty portions never samples anything. Owner's often think that sampling will fill up the customer so they won't eat as much. This is America. Does anyone you know stop eating because they feel full? If the flavor is there, people consume. And spend. And eat and drink more than they ever need.
One of your goals should be to make your servers march to the tune of the upsell band of marketing geniuses that tease our taste buds and sensuate our emotions. People eat with their eyes and purchase with their palates.
Sample a little food tonight at the bar.Y0u'll be surprised at the outcome.

Attention, Birthers: Shut Up. Barack Obama Releases Long-Form Hawaiian Birth Certificate
Donald Trump must have flipped what is obviously his wig this morning when President Barack Obama shockingly unveiled his long-form Hawaiian birth certificate -- thus putting an end to the conspiracy based controversy over his citizenship (for anyone with half a brain, that is).
Why did the president finally release the document? He says it's because "we're not going to be able to solve our problems if we get distracted by sideshows and carnival barkers."
Trump, the
most obnoxious noisiest sideshow and loudest barker, is taking all the credit.
Once he learned of the president's disclosure, "the Donald," who's currently pretending to run for president, met with reporters in New Hampshire where he patted himself on the back for putting an end to the issue he's fueled for the last two months.

"He should have done it a long time ago. I am really honored to play such a big role in hopefully, hopefully getting rid of this issue," Trump says.
Arizona has been at the forefront of the Birther debate -- ya know, being the only state in the entire country to consider ridiculous, conspiracy-based legislation addressing the matter, and all.
Arizona's legislative lunatics have introduced legislation requiring presidential candidates to prove their U.S. citizenship before their names are allowed on the ballot in the Grand Canyon State.
The bill failed last year, but passed this legislative session with a few modifications -- namely, allowing for documentation describing what a candidate's penis looks like as a means for proving citizenship.
Thankfully, Governor Jan Brewer had the sense to veto bill when it got to her desk, calling the bill a distraction, and noting that she "never imagined being presented with a bill that could require candidates for president of the greatest and most powerful nation on earth to submit their 'early baptismal or circumcision certificates' among other records to the Arizona secretary of state."
There you have it, birthers -- the party's over, now shut up.

Wild Lotus Yoga 2014 Price Menu Adjustments-New Membership Savings
Dear Wild Lotus Yoga Community,
Throughout the last 12 years of sharing yoga with you, it has been very important to us that our yoga classes be as accessible and affordable as possible. We have been an innovator and leader in the New Orleans yoga community in offering affordable class packages, sliding scale community classes, scholarships to teacher trainees, numerous charitable donations, and our work-study program. After much thought and planning, we are excited to make our classes even more affordable for people who want yoga to be a bigger part of their lives by introducing a new price menu starting January 1st, 2014. The full price menu is below and following are some of the highlights of the changes:
• We now offer a new-to-studio special of 30 classes for $33 for local residents who have never been to the studio before. Please help share this news with friends and family.
• For people who are already attending the studio, we're excited to share a new option for you. Our best deal is now a ($99 a month/$89 students/seniors) unlimited monthly membership on auto-renew that will make classes more affordable for people who want to come to two or more classes a week. This membership allows you to take as many classes as you want at both studios and includes a 10% discount on workshops, merchandise and special member-only offers. Depending on how often you come to class, this package will bring down the price of each class to between $6 and $12 ($5 and $11 per class for students/seniors). There is a 3 month minimum for this option with 30 days cancellation notice.
• Honoring the requests of many, there will no longer be an expiration date on our 10 class package. The price of the 10 class pack goes up by $1 per class ($2 students) and will now be an auto-renew membership that can be canceled anytime before the 10th class in the cycle. 10 Class Card Members will receive a 10% discount on workshops, merchandise, and special member-only offers.
• For people who would prefer more time flexibility and/or non auto-renew options, we will now offer a 5 class pack with a 6 month expiration date. We will also still offer the drop-in option for classes. The drop-in rate will now be $17 per class ($15 students/seniors). We highly recommend that people who are accustomed to dropping-in consider the significant savings of the monthly unlimited or 10 class memberships.
• We will continue to offer all of the current sliding scale ($5-$17 or package) community classes, discounted prices for students and seniors, and our work-study program.
Please see clearer details about all these price options below.
We are grateful for your understanding and support of the new price options. In addition to making yoga more affordable and accessible for many, these changes will also help the studio operate more sustainably so we can continue to make enhancements and innovations in our offerings to you for years to come. Please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Our point person for questions specifically related to the new price packages is Lauren Sloan. You can reach her at firstname.lastname@example.com or (504) 899-0047. Namaste and Happy New Year

Monitoring of World Trade Center Health Effects Has Progressed, but Not for Federal Responders
GAO-05-1020T: Published: Sep 10, 2005. Publicly Released: Sep 10, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7207
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
After the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center (WTC), nearly 3,000 people died and an estimated 250,000 to 400,000 people who lived, worked, or attended school in the vicinity were affected. An estimated 40,000 people who responded to the disaster--including New York City Fire Department (FDNY) personnel and other government and private-sector workers and volunteers--were exposed to numerous physical and mental health hazards. Concerns remain about the long-term health effects of the attack and about the nation's capacity to plan for and respond to both short- and long-term health effects in the event of a future attack or other disaster. Several federally funded programs have monitored the physical and mental health effects of the WTC attack. These monitoring programs include one-time screening programs and programs that also conduct follow-up monitoring. GAO was asked to assess the progress of these programs. GAO examined (1) federally funded programs implemented by state and local government agencies or private institutions, (2) federally administered programs to monitor the health of federal workers who responded to the disaster in an official capacity, and (3) lessons learned from WTC monitoring programs. GAO reviewed program documents and interviewed federal, state, and local officials and others involved in WTC monitoring programs.
Three federally funded monitoring programs implemented by state and local governments or private organizations after the WTC attack have provided initial medical examinations--and in some cases follow-up examinations--to thousands of affected responders to screen for health problems. For example, the FDNY medical monitoring program completed initial screening for over 15,000 firefighters and emergency medical service personnel, and the worker and volunteer program screened over 14,000 other responders. The New York State responder screening program screened about 1,700 state responders before ending its examinations in 2003. Most state responders have not been informed that they are now eligible to participate in the worker and volunteer program, and New York State responders could miss the opportunity for continued monitoring. These monitoring programs and the WTC Health Registry have collected information that program officials believe researchers could use to help better understand the health consequences of the attack and improve treatment. Program officials expressed concern, however, that current federal funding arrangements for long-term monitoring may be too short to allow for identification of all future health effects. In contrast to the progress made by other federally funded programs, the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) program to screen federal workers who were sent by their agencies to respond to the WTC disaster has accomplished little and is on hold. The program--which started about one year later than other WTC monitoring programs--completed screening of 394 of the estimated 10,000 federal workers who responded in an official capacity to the disaster, but HHS officials suspended examinations and the program has not screened anyone since March 2004. The program's limited activity and the exclusion of federal workers from other monitoring programs because of the assumption that they could receive screening examinations through the HHS program may have resulted in many federal responders losing the opportunity to identify and seek treatment for their WTC-related health problems. Officials involved in WTC health monitoring programs cited lessons from their experiences that could help others who may be responsible for designing and implementing health monitoring efforts that follow other disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina. These include the need to quickly identify and contact people affected by a disaster; to monitor for mental health effects, as well as physical injuries and illnesses; and to anticipate when designing disaster-related monitoring efforts that there will likely be many people who require referrals for follow-up care and that handling the referral process may require substantial effort. HHS and New York State officials provided comments on the facts contained in this testimony and GAO made changes as appropriate.
