So true! I think a fork is more work than most people realize.
Hey, i'm still alive.. :) But then I don't have a demo up or code to show yet, so maybe i'll shut up now lol.. :P Still going strong though, but have to admit while mine will be proper BSD in the end, I reeeally enjoy being the sole dev on it. ;D
Removing the calendar I think is a mistake, for Wedge(or SMF in the future) part. Events, in the broadest sense , is very useful in a forum enviroment IMO, its just that the calendar of SMF was always considered more of a "birthday thingie"..but turn it onto "events manager" and you have more use for it. It should have more options, like attaching files(well, the topic already does that, but more could be used with strictly "event" attachments), attendance features and history, and past events tied to profile for example. And of course, if enough playground is given, one can also let users dable with easy todo-lists, or private calendars of whatever they like.
It seems such a underdeveloped feature..and such were doomed to be cut out at one point or other(by SMF or forks) perhaps. I think its better to expand it though. And in ViennaBBS it will. (if not in the absolute first release, surely in the following)

Ticos, as the natives are known here, say that weather patterns used to be as predicable as clockwork. But over the past two decades, seasonal models have changed so much that it's anyone's guess when it will rain or what the temperatures will be – an immediate and difficult situation for farmers, and one that portends eventual impacts for everyone.
Much of the country's remarkable biodiversity is due to the steep climatic gradients found on tropical mountains. Biological communities vary sharply along these gradients because different species are adapted for different ranges of conditions. And they are particularly vulnerable to changes in climate.
PHOTOS: Explore Costa Rica's landscape in images.
Costa Rica's "canary in the coal mine" came in the late 1980s. Despite the creation of extensive habitat through reforestation and protection efforts, the country's emblematic golden toad (Bufo periglenes, right), known to exist only in the Monteverde Cloud Forest, disappeared.
Scientists discovered that, in fact, Monteverde's entire amphibian fauna had collapsed, while reports from other mountain areas around the world told of strikingly similar accounts. As climates warm and rainfall alters, necessary environmental conditions, not just habitats, have changed and are driving amphibian species to extinction.
It is believed that climate warming, particularly since the mid-1970s, has caused cloud formation in Monteverde to rise, thereby reducing its effectiveness in delivering moisture to the forest, an essential condition for the amphibians' survival. Data by CI and other scientists show that amphibian declines are not an isolated phenomenon and are being seen in a broader range of species including birds and reptiles.
CI is contributing to climate change adaptation in Costa Rica by strengthening conservation work in national parks and the creation of new public and private protected areas. The wealthier and larger the ecosystem, the easier and more successfully species can adapt to climate change.
In rural communities, CI also is helping to increase income and economic benefit for people through payments for ecosystem services and conservation easements. We facilitate agroforestry schemes in buffer zones of strategic regions, and environmental education through our partners to foster understanding of climate change issues and solutions. Our scientists also play an important role in monitoring and analyzing climate change in Costa Rica and other counties that harbor tropical rain forest.

By Gary Brown
The Division III Championships Committee is recommending an alternative approach to a membership-sponsored legislative proposal for the 2011 Convention that would allow for an unlimited number of non-participants to be in the bench area during NCAA championship contests.
Rather than open up such access and pose what the committee believes are a number of logistical, equity and budget concerns, members are asking the Management Council to recommend to the Presidents Council a resolution to study current squad-size among all member institutions and institutions selected for championships, travel-party and bench limits to determine which sports, if any, merit an increase in the number of people allowed in the bench area.
Two proposals from the Empire 8 and the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association call for institutional discretion in determining and funding the number of additional people in the bench area. One would allow institutions in sports other than football to determine how many student-athletes from their current active rosters they desire to dress, participate in warm-ups and be in the bench area. That proposal also garnered co-sponsorship from the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference.
The other proposal from the Empire 8 and MIAA includes football but limits the number of student-athletes in the bench area in that sport to 100.
While the Championships Committee understands the point of additional access to the championship experience, members believe at least some regulations are necessary. They would prefer that delegates at the January Convention in San Antonio support researching squad sizes and travel parties of the participating teams in previous championships to get a better idea of workable limits.
Members noted that current rules already provide institutions a range of flexibility to bring additional student-athletes. In men's and women's basketball, for example, 23 individuals are allowed in the bench area – eight more than the squad size (game participants) and three more than the travel party (for which the NCAA reimburses expenses). In men's and women's lacrosse, 38 individuals are allowed in the bench area, 10 over the 28 on the squad and five over the 33 in the travel party.
The men's lacrosse committee, though, already has let the Championship Committee know that it would like to increase the number allowed in the bench area to 48, similar to Division II (48) and Division I (52). That group argues that many men's lacrosse rosters exceed 33, and those student-athletes not allowed in the bench area but who go to the event have to purchase tickets (often at the institution's expense).
Sponsors of the legislative proposal, though, want institutions to be able to decide, rather than having limits imposed upon them (except in football).
Reaction to the measure at a meeting of Division III sport committee chairs and Championships Committee members that preceded the Championships Committee session was mixed. Many chairs who also serve as athletics directors noted that while the proposal might alleviate pressure from parents and student-athletes to send more participants – and it would properly reward more student-athletes who contributed to the team's success over the course of the season – it would further squeeze already strapped budgets at most schools if they were expected to foot the bill.
Teams that have to fly to a championships site, for instance, are not likely to have the same bench size as the home team or those institutions on a drive. Additional areas of budget impact include hotel nights, banquet attendance, and the purchase of additional awards and participant mementos.
Championships Committee members pointed out other concerns, as well, not the least of which were simple logistics. Most baseball and softball dugouts can't accommodate much more than the current limits, and an unlimited approach may introduce some gender inequities since some men's teams carry larger rosters than their women's counterparts.
That's why the Championships Committee favored more study to determine whether some of the current restrictions were inappropriate instead of lifting limits altogether. Members noted that any increases in the travel party after the review would come at the division's expense (since the NCAA reimburses expenses for the travel party), which might be a better outcome for the membership. Other ancillary benefits are that these student-athletes would be included in other championship experiences such as the pre-event banquet, awards and being included in the game program (the Empire 8 and MIAA proposal provides only for students to dress and be in the bench area).
Mostly, though, they think a data-based review is a more manageable and reasonable approach. As such, members voted to oppose Proposal Nos. 6 and 7 regarding bench-area limits. If the membership agrees with the "resolution" alternative, and subsequent study finds that increases are warranted in some sports, then those changes would be proposed at the 2012 Convention.
Current squad-size, travel-party and bench-area limits
Sport | Squad Size | Travel Party | Bench Size |
Baseball | 24 | 29 | 34 |
M&W Basketball | 15 | 20 | 23 |
Field Hockey | 22 | 27 | 32 |
Football | 52 | 62 | 72 |
M&W Ice Hockey | 21 | 26 | 29 |
M&W Lacrosse | 28 | 33 | 38 |
M&W Soccer | 22 | 27 | 32 |
Softball | 20 | 25 | 30 |
Women's Volleyball | 17 | 22 | 25 |
Other business
The Division III Championships Committee also reviewed two other membership-sponsored proposals that had been referred, including one from the Empire 8, Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference and North Eastern Athletic Conference that would permit student-athletes to compete in triathlons without affecting their sport eligibility (in cross country, track and field, or swimming and diving) while still adhering to amateurism standards.
Championships Committee members support the idea as long as the student-athlete participates in all three disciplines and not simply in his or her own sport as part of a relay.
The committee also agreed to support a legislative proposal from the City University of New York Athletic Conference and Great Northeast Athletic Conference that establishes an NCAA Division III Men's Volleyball Championship.
Committee members noted that steps would be taken to establish proposals for a four-person sport committee, automatic qualification eligibility for conferences, and playing-and-practice season parameters before the 2011 Convention so that delegates would understand the nature of the sport at the Division III level before casting their votes. Such proposals could be adopted at the Management Council's post-Convention meeting, assuming the membership adopts the proposal to establish the championship.
The committee also continued to explore regional realignment to create standardization wherever possible in region nomenclature and the number of sport regions (based on sport sponsorship). The committee wants to emphasize conference affiliation, geographic proximity and congruity between like sports (for example, men's and women's lacrosse). Initial plans for the project were received favorably by sport committee chairs. Additional discussion with sport committees and the Division III Commissioners Association will take place in the coming year.

Aachen Cathedral
Aachen Cathedral
Construction of this palatine chapel, with its octagonal basilica and cupola, began c. 790–800 under the Emperor Charlemagne. Originally inspired by the churches of the Eastern part of the Holy Roman Empire, it was splendidly enlarged in the Middle Ages.

Dom van Aken
De bouw van deze Pfalzkapel, met zijn achthoekige basiliek en koepel, begon onder keizer Karel de Grote rond 790 tot 800 na Christus. De dom was oorspronkelijk geïnspireerd door de kerken van het oostelijk deel van het Heilige Romeinse Rijk en werd in de middeleeuwen prachtig uitgebreid. De bouw van deze kapel van de keizer in Aken symboliseerde de vereniging van het westen en de geestelijke en politieke opleving onder bescherming van Karel de Grote. In 814 werd Karel de Grote hier begraven. De collectie van de schatkamer van de kathedraal is van onschatbaar archeologisch, esthetisch en historisch belang.

Long Description
With its columns of Greek and Italian marble, its bronze doors, the largest mosaic of its dome (now destroyed), the Palatine Chapel of Aachen has, from its inception, been perceived as an exceptional artistic creation. It was the first vaulted structure to be constructed north of the Alps since antiquity. It remained, during the Carolingian Renaissance and even at the beginning of the medieval period, one of the prototypes of religious architecture which led to copies or imitations (Mettlach, Nijmegen). It is an excellent and distinctive example of the family of aularian chapels based on a central plan with tribunes.
The construction of the chapel of the Emperor at Aachen symbolized the unification of the west and its spiritual and political revival under the aegis of Charlemagne. In 814, Charlemagne was buried here, and throughout the Middle Ages until 1531 the Germanic emperors continued to be crowned here. The collection of the treasury of the cathedral is of incalculable archaeological, aesthetic, and historic interest.
The most important historical epoch of Aachen started with the takeover of the government by Charlemagne in AD 768. The imperial palace by the hot springs soon became his permanent residence and so developed into a spiritual and cultural centre. Two hundred years later he was canonized, which resulted in a flow of pilgrims wishing to see Charlemagne's tomb and the relics he gathered during his life. The town's ties with Charlemagne are reflected in numerous architectural heirlooms and memorials in the townscape.
When he began work on his Palatine Chapel in 786, Charlemagne's dream was to create a 'new Rome'. The core of Aachen Cathedral at the time of its construction was the largest dome north of the Alps. Its fascinating architecture, with classical, Byzantine and Germanic-Franconian elements, is the essence of a monumental building of the greatest importance. For 600 years, from 936 to 1531, Aachen Cathedral was the coronation church for thirty German kings, and even today it retains much of the glamour of its historic past.
Its present form has evolved over the course of more than a millennium. Two parts of the original complex have survived: the Coronation Hall (Aula Regia), which is currently located in the Town Hall, built in the 14th century, and the Palatine Chapel, around which the cathedral would later be built.
The Palatine Chapel, constructed about 790-800, is based on an octagonal ground plan, which is ringed by an aisle, surmounted by tribunes and roofed with a dome; the chapel itself is easily distinguished from later additions by its distinctive structure. An atrium on the western side led, through a portico, to the imperial apartments. The Gothic choir and a series of chapels that were added throughout the Middle Ages created the composite array of features that characterized the cathedral.
The interior is punctuated on the lower storey by round arches set upon eight stout cruciform pillars, and on the upper storey by the matroneum, a gallery for women. The populace was admitted in the lower part of the chapel; the Emperor sat up high, facing the altar, on the stone throne upon which the kings of Germany would be crowned. The high dome gathers light from eight open-arched windows above the drum; it was originally entirely covered with a great mosaic depicting Christ Enthroned, in purple robes and surrounded by the Elders of the Apocalypse. The present-day mosaic date back to 1870-73. The interior of the chapel is embellished by coloured marbles that Charlemagne probably ordered to be brought from Rome and Ravenna. Despite the subsequent additions, the Palatine Chapel constitutes a unitary nucleus.
The Cathedral Treasury in Aachen is regarded as one of the most important ecclesiastical treasuries in northern Europe. The crypt of the cathedral contains the cross of Lothar (990), made from gold and inlaid with precious stones, the dark-blue velvet chasuble with embroidered pearls, a reliquary-bust of Charlemagne made from silver and gold, and a marble sarcophagus decorated with a relief of the Abduction of Proserpine, which contains the body of Charlemagne.

MSU Police Instrumental in Tracking Suspected Child Porn & Extortion Case
FOX 47 News
Photo: Video by fox47news.com
EAST LANSING -- A child pornography suspect in Pennsylvania is identified with the help of Michigan State University Police Computer Forensic Unit.
The FBI arrested Joseph Ostrowski, 28, for attempted production of child pornography and extortion. He was also charged with cyber-stalking, once investigators learned he persuaded and tricked people in East Lansing to engage in sexual acts through Skype and recorded them without their knowledge.
During 2011, the Michigan State University Police became aware of student social networking sites being compromised. Throughout the investigation by the MSU Police Computer Forensic Unit, records were obtained that led to the development of Ostrowski as a suspect.
MSU Police detectives were with the FBI when search warrants on Mr. Ostrowski of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania were served.

Channel 99 on Cablevision
they are all Whures.
Anyone that wants to continue to commentate on sports for a living will have to bob on the pole of the 4 letter eventually.
Here the channel was FSN (Fox Sports), now is 'ROOT Sports' and will become 'Fox Sports 1'. The thing was/is owned by Direct TV Networks the whole time.
I'd also like an ESPN alternative, only thing I watch there are live games. I have NFL Network and MLB Network for news and commentary.
fox will bring more tits and ass to the broadcast
Fox got so fucked in this deal.
They had asked about 86 cent per subscriber.
They got about 18 cent per subscriber.
That is 50 million per month they lost.
Only reason they accepted this shitty deal was because of UFC and that Fox could not fuck their partner in the ass.
Had Fox waited 1-2 week to collage football. Then the cable companies would have got a ton of angry phone calls from people.
I still don't understand why Fox (and every other channel) just bypass the cable companies ans sell the channel directly to customers. Even ESPN gets under a dollar per subscriber. I gladly pay 2 dollars for the channels I want just to dump the greedy cable companies.
Add some indemand functionality, I would pay 3 dollars. Add free 5 dollars.
Why should the cable companies take 50% of the revenue for nothing? Just look at PPVs. The cable companies keep over 55% of the revenue! Fuck em!
This is what we have government for and Raptors.
Just send a couple of Raptors and bomb the CEOs of cable companies and they would accept reasonable margins >10%. Socialism is sometime good. (well. Ifs its socialism, then Obama should just nationalise the cable companies and give the channels for free. I guess the retarded majority would cheer for that)

Basic Crop top Sizing & Review
July 5, 2013
I purchased this crop top I a small in 3 different colors. I'm 5ft 125lbs and I wear a 36C. The sizing of the top was good. Didn't show to much. the collar is bulky though. When I wear mines I actually wear my hair down so that the collar being a little to wide it would show. I also bought a large for someone else and they didn't like the collar so they ended up cutting it and making it a off-shoulder top.
Pros:-you can dress it up or down -good quality for the price -good crop top for wide leg high waist pants or maxi skirtsCons:-Collar is a bit wide for my liking. |

WASHINGTON—A raft of computer glitches that have plagued markets in recent years amid a burst of high-speed trading is sparking a widening crackdown by Wall Street overseers.
Finra chief Richard Ketchum Reuters
Regulators are focusing on the complex computer systems deployed by high-frequency trading firms, with an eye on whether the systems have adequate safeguards against chaotic trading that can destabilize markets and harm investor confidence.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority is conducting a probe of high-speed firms' trading algorithms—the computer formulas that juggle the firms' rapid-fire trades—and the controls surrounding their trading technology, according to an examination letter sent to about 10 firms this week.
Responses to the letters could prompt additional probes or result in marching orders for the industry to improve risk-management, said Thomas Gira, head of market regulation at Finra. "We're trying to make sure that firms are aware of how their 'algos' are constructed and how they're operating," Mr. Gira said in an interview.
The review follows last year's trading malfunction by Knight Capital Group Inc., which lost nearly half a billion dollars in about 45 minutes when a high-speed-trading algorithm malfunctioned. This month, Knight merged with Getco LLC, a top high-frequency firm, forming the trading powerhouse KCG Holdings Inc. KCG +0.43% KCG Holdings Inc.

The widening look at high-speed algorithms was sparked by Finra's recent investigations into high-speed-trading mishaps, Mr. Gira said. Last week, Finra and several stock-exchange regulators fined Newedge USA LLC, which is jointly owned by French banks Société Générale GLE.FR -0.77% Societe Generale S.A.

In an April speech, Finra Chief Executive Richard Ketchum said the regulator would shift its examination program to "a more risk-based approach that would strengthen our ability to identify high-risk firms, brokers, activities and products."
The exams are the latest step in an effort by regulators to increase scrutiny of the high-powered computer systems that control daily trading in U.S. markets. The heightened focus follows a series of disruptive glitches last year, including a malfunction at Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. NDAQ +0.21% NASDAQ OMX Group Inc.

High-frequency traders, whose activity accounts for about half of all market volume, have been a rising force in markets in recent years. While the trading follows many patterns, it is typically marked by extreme speeds and rapid turnovers of positions.
Regulators sharpened their focus on disruptive computer trading following the May 6, 2010, "flash crash," when the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 700 points in minutes amid a burst of chaotic trades and computer glitches. A 2010 report by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on the flash crash said high-speed traders' moves helped fuel the rapid selloff.
In October, disruptions caused by superstorm Sandy led to the closing of U.S. stock exchanges, raising concerns about the markets' ability to overcome extreme events. The SEC in March proposed a set of new rules requiring key market players to implement comprehensive policies and procedures to guard against trading malfunctions.
The CFTC, which oversees commodities markets, also has increased its scrutiny of computerized trading. The agency is focusing on whether high-speed traders are distorting markets by illegally acting as buyer and seller in the same transaction, according to people familiar with the matter. So-called wash trades are banned by U.S. law because they can give false signals about trading activity to other investors and manipulate prices.
In its letter, Finra focuses on the development and deployment of trading algorithms, including the personnel involved in writing and testing the code. Finra asks for a list of "all personnel who develop, test, deploy, maintain, and/or modify algorithms."
Finra also is asking questions about how firms handle malfunctions, including whether they use so-called kill switches that automatically stop trading as well as "who is responsible for the automatic shut off or kill switch."
It is also asking for instances of algorithm malfunctions "which had a material impact to the firm or any instances in which the algorithm's malfunction caused a market disruption."
Among those malfunctions Finra is probing are so-called algos gone wild—malfunctions that can jam exchanges with multiple buy and sell orders. Known as "quote stuffing," the malfunctions can cause confusion for other investors and potentially distort the market. Finra asks what type of risk controls are built into algorithms designed to prevent "quote stuffing and quote bursts."
The regulator is asking the firms to provide internal reviews of algorithms and software-control systems from January to the present.
Finra is also increasing its scrutiny of "dark pools," which are private trading venues, frequently operated by sophisticated computer systems, that don't disclose investors' buy and sell orders. Last week, the regulator approved a plan to require dark pools to disclose and detail trading activity on their platforms, a move that would give it the clearest view yet into the private markets that account for about 15% of all stock trading, triple the total five years ago, according to Rosenblatt Securities Inc.

There are three basic inputs – vision, proprioception, and the vestibular semicircular canals and otolith organs – that are used by the brain to provide ocular stability, gait control, and balance during active and passive body movements. A disorder of the vestibular system is a major disruptor of these critical functions and a significant source of spatial disorientation symptoms. A patient's complaint of dizziness can be caused by a variety of factors including pre-syncopal lightheadedness, dysequilibrium, visual distortion and multi-sensory dysfunction and must be differentiated clinically from vertigo or dizziness of vestibular origin. The differential diagnosis of vertigo has remained stable over the past several decades, but management strategies continue to improve. The goal of this discussion is to review the most common types of vestibular disorders encountered by the otolaryngologist and discuss the medical management and rehabilitation therapy strategies currently at use.
The vestibular labyrinth is responsible for detecting both linear and angular head movements. Each is composed of three semicircular canals (SCC) and two otolithic organs. The SCC detects rotational movement or angular accelerations and the otolith organs detect linear acceleration. The sensory hair cells within the membranous labyrinth detect specific movements during hyper of depolarization of the stereocilia and kinocilia extending from the cell body. Within the SCC, the hair cells are organized under a gelatin film called the cupula. In the utricle and saccule, the hair cells are attached to a layer of otoconia on the macula. The otoconia remain stationary relative to linear head accelerations, which causes deflection and stimulation of the underlying hair cells. The hair cells project one or more afferent nerve endings onto the body of the cell. In addition there can be a direct and indirect efferent innervation of the hair cell body. The fiber bundles from each of the five sensory epithelia join to make two branches of the vestibular nerve: the superior and inferior branches. The afferent nerve fibers are bipolar and have one synapse at the hair cell and the other in the vestibular nucleus. The cell bodies are located in between within Scarpa's ganglion. Peripheral vestibular disorders are presumed to be restricted anatomically to the aforementioned structures.
In addition to a normally functioning vestibular system, balance requires input from the visual (vestibulo-ocular) and proprioceptive (vestibulospinal) systems. Vestibular input is balanced and compared to these inputs. Central causes of vestibular dysfunction compromise the central vestibular circuits that mediate vestibular influences on posture, control of gaze, and autonomic functions. Any insult that disrupts the calibration or balance between the two peripheral vestibular systems or between the vestibular system and its visual and proprioceptive input leads to the sensation of vertigo or loss of balance. If this process is acute, vertigo usually results. If it is more chronic, dysequilibrium may be the presenting symptom. The goal of treatment then becomes to restore balance between the input systems.
Also, the vestibular system influences or contributes to brainstem autonomic circuits. There is an intimate linkage in components of brainstem pathways that process vestibular and visceral inputs. This explains the autonomic dysfunction associated with alterations of vestibular input, including nausea, vomiting, and pallor, as well as changes in respiration and circulation.
Medical Treatment
The treatment of vertigo can be divided into to components: symptomatic and specific. Symptomatic treatment should focus on relieving the acute symptoms and autonomic complaints of vertigo. Specific treatments are geared towards targeting the underlying cause of the vertigo.
Symptomatic pharmacotherapy
There are several transmitters in the vestibular nuclei, including cholinergic, H1-histaminergic receptors, and GABA. The vomiting center is stimulated by serotonergic, dopaminergic (D2) and histaminergic (H1) systems. Thus, many pathways and neurotransmitters are responsible for vestibular symptoms and associated autonomic complaints. This explains why so many classes of drugs are used to manage acute vertigo attacks. The main classes of drugs used for symptoms of acute vertigo include antihistamines, anticholinergic agents, anti-dopaminergic agents, and (gamma)-aminobutyric acid-enhancing (GABA-ergic) agents. These drugs will not eliminate but rather reduce the severity of vertiginous symptoms.
Although the exact mechanism of action of these drugs is unclear, they act at the level of the neurotransmitters involved in the propagation of impulses from primary to secondary vestibular neurons and in the maintenance of tone in the vestibular nuclei. They also act on the areas of the nervous system that control vomiting, including the central components, or "emetic center" and the peripheral components of the gastrointestinal tract. Two recent clinical trials comparing IV dimenhydrinate (50mg) with lorazepam (2 mg) and IM dimenhydrinate (50mg) with droperidol (2.5mg) for the treatment of peripheral vertigo in patients in the emergency department, found that dimenhydrinate was more effective than lorazepam and that dimenhydrinate and droperidol were equally effective. The response is clearly dose-dependent, so higher doses can be tried if the initial dose is not effective. It is important to note that all the medications used can be sedating, so they should not be used in patients attempting to perform activities, which necessitate a high level of alertness (i.e., driving, operating machinery or athletics). Less sedating drugs, such as meclizine and transdermal scopolamine are useful for milder vertigo and prevention of motion sickness. The newer nonsedating antihistamines do not enter the CNS and have little value in the treatment of acute vertiginous attacks.
Specific Pharmacotherapy
Vestibular Neuritis
Characterized by the sudden onset of prolonged vertigo of peripheral origin usually without hearing loss, vestibular neuritis (a.k.a. vestibular neuronitis) typically exhibits severe vertigo over a period of hours, lasting a few days, and then subsiding over the course of a few weeks. It is thought to result from a selective inflammation of the vestibular nerve, presumably of viral origin. The onset may be preceded by a viral infection of the respiratory or gastrointestinal systems. This finding and the occurrence of epidemics, several family members afflicted, and more common spring and early summer disease all support a potential viral etiology. Therefore, treatment aimed at stopping the inflammation has been proposed. Ariyasu et al treated 20 patients in a double-blinded, crossover study with methylprednisolone versus placebo for acute vestibular vertigo. They found that 90% experienced a decrease in vertigo within 24 hours, compared with only 30% of the placebo group. The placebo groups were switched to methylprednisolone after 24 hours and subsequently had a decrease in vertigo within 24 hours of starting the steroid. The electro-nystagmogram in the 16 patients who took methylprednisolone with resolution of vertigo returned to normal within 1 month.
Most patients will have spontaneous, complete symptomatic recovery even only with supportive treatment. Patients who have persistent unsteadiness or motion provoked symptoms may have incomplete central compensation and should benefit from a customized vestibular rehabilitation program.
Meniere's Disease
The treatment for Meniere's
disease or endolymphatic hydrops
continues to evade clinicians, because the precise etiology of the disease is
unknown. The histiologic
finding of hydrops by Hallpike
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (e.g., acetazolamide), which have been used by ophthalmologists to decrease intraocular pressure in treating glaucoma, have been tried for Meniere's. The analogy drawn between the two disease states (Meniere's has been called "inner ear glaucoma") led to the trial of these agents. These agents decrease sodium-hydrogen exchange in the renal tubule leading to diuresis, however the diuretic effects are not as long lasting as thiazides and loop-diuretics. In addition, acetazolamide is capable of decreasing CSF production. Possible adverse effects include nephrocalcinosis, mild metabolic acidosis and GI disturbances with chronic therapy.
Vasodilators have also been used for the treatment of Meniere's disease, based on the hypothesis that the pathogenesis of endolymphatic hydrops results from ischemia of the stria vascularis. The rationale is to improve the metabolic function of a diseased ear. IV histamine, isosorbide dinitrate, cinnarizine (calcium antagonist) and betahistine (oral histamine analogue) have all been used with anecdotal success, but no studies have demonstrated definitive beneficial effects of vasodilator therapy in reversing hydrops.
It has recently become apparent that Meniere's disease may be a disease of multifactorial inheritance. In some patient's there is thought to be an association of immune-mediated phenomena. There have been numerous reports of association of allergies and Meniere's disease. A study by Gottschlich et al., found that fifty percent of subjects meeting the criteria for Meniere's were found to have antibodies to a 70-kD heat-shock protein, which has been implicated in autoimmune sensorineural hearing loss. Therefore, treatment with immunosuppressive agents has gained favor, especially for patients presenting with bilateral disease. Systemic and intratympanic glucocorticoids, cyclophosphamide, and methotrexate have all been used by clinicians. Shea reported 48 patients following dexamethasone transtympanic perfusion for intractable Meniere's disease with a 66.7% success rate for the elimination of vertigo and a 35.4% improvement in hearing.
For intractable disease with disabling vertigo despite medical treatment, vestibular surgery should be considered. The chemical labyrinthectomy, or transtympanic gentamicin (intratympanic aminoglycoside [ITAG]), allows treatment of unilateral disease without producing systemic toxicity or affecting the opposite ear. It also carries the advantage of being a nonsurgical office procedure. Gentamicin is primarily vestibulotoxic, and may impair the function of vestibular dark cells, which are thought to play a role in the production of endolymph. However, there is an inherent risk of hearing loss that may be sudden, severe, and irreversible, which averages around 30%.
A stock solution of 40mg/mL of gentamicin is used and 10mg to 20mg is injected over the round window after anesthetizing the tympanic membrane. The patient remains in the supine position with the injected ear up for 30 minutes and is encouraged not to swallow. Bolus injections are typically repeated either weekly or biweekly, although the end point of therapy is variable between different authors, some advocating only one treatment and a possible follow-up. Clinical signs of vestibular hypofunction such as spontaneous nystagmus or headshake nystagmus are monitored in follow-up visits and considered the endpoint of therapy. Monitoring with audiometry between injections to detect potential hearing loss is advised. Total ablation of vestibular function does not appear necessary for this method to be effective because all studies report excellent control of vertigo. Minor was able to control vertigo in 91% of his treatment group with a 3% rate of profound SNHL. A recurrence rate of 22% occurred with control in all but one by further ITAG treatments. These numbers are very similar to vestibular neurectomy results with fewer risks. Continuous delivery methods involve a device that delivers the drug directly to the round window niche (Microwick, Round Window Microcatheter). Direct injection via labyrinthotomy has been tried with significant hearing loss and has fallen out of favor.
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
BPPV is the most common cause of vertigo and results from dysfunction of the posterior semicircular canal (PSCC). Two theories have developed to explain its pathophysiology: cupulolithiasis and canalithiasis. The cupulolithiasis theory proposes that calcium deposits become embedded on the cupula, rendering the PSCC dependent on gravity. In the canalithiasis theory, calcium debris (displace otoconia) becomes displaced within the PSCC but does not adhere to the cupula. In any case, head movements, particularly looking up, lying down, or rolling over onto the affected ear, result in displacement of the canal "sludge" and resultant symptoms. Several approaches have been developed to treat BPPV, including particle repositioning maneuvers and habituation exercises.
Semont et al adhering to the cupulolithiasis theory proposed a liberatory maneuver as a single treatment alternative. The patient is asked to sit on the side of an examination table with the head turned away from the affected ear. The patient is then quickly moved to the lateral decubitus position, with the head facing the ceiling, and is kept there for 2 to 3 minutes. Then, the patient is moved rapidly through the sitting position and onto the opposite side with the head remaining in the original position (now facing the floor). After a few minutes, the patient is returned to the seated position and is asked to remain upright for 48 hours. The reported cure rates are 84% after one, and 93% following two treatments.
Epley favored the canalithiasis theory and proposed a canalith repositioning procedure inducing gravity-directed movement of particulate matter into the vestibule, where it should not produce symptoms. The patient is initially placed in the Dix-Hallpike position for the affected ear. The head is then slowly taken through extension to the opposite Dix-Hallpike after 2 to 3 minutes. After an equal interval of time in this position, the patient is rolled onto the unaffected shoulder with the head turned toward the floor. After another 2 to 3 minutes, the patient is returned to the seated position. Again, the patient is asked to remain upright for 48 hours after the procedure. Epley reported 80% cure after one treatment and 100% improvement after multiple sessions in 30 patients.
Brandt and Daroff designed habituation exercises requiring the patient to move into the provoking position repeatedly, several times a day. From the seated position, the patient first moves rapidly into the provocative position. After the vertigo stops, the patient returns to the upright, seated position for 30 seconds, then onto the opposite side for 30 additional seconds. This is repeated until the vertigo diminishes. The exercises should be performed every 3 hours until the vertigo resolves for 2 consecutive days. They report a 98% success rate after 3 to 14 days of exercises.
Blakley compared the canalith repositioning maneuver with no treatment, and found 89% of all patients were improved after 1 month with no statistical significance between the 2 groups. The timing of spontaneous remission showed a 50% cure rate after 1 month. Still, advocates of noninvasive treatment techniques claim results superior to these numbers.
Penicillin has been the established treatment of otosyphilis. Intramuscular and intravenous routes are both acceptable. 2.4 million units of benzathine penicillin IM weekly for three consecutive weeks is considered minimal treatment and some would argue that treatment should be extended for one year. If the IV route is chosen, 10 million units of penicillin G per day is given in divided doses for ten days, followed by 2.4 million units of IM benzathine penicillin per week x2. Probenecid increases the half-life and CSF penetration of penicillin and may improve these regimens. Penallergic patients can be dosed with 500mg of tetracycline or erythromycin qid for 30 days. Steroids in addition to penicillin has been shown to improve treatment.
Vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI)
VBI is characterized by vertigo, diplopia, dysarthria, gait ataxia and bilateral sensory and motor disturbance. Symptoms of transient ischemia are alarming but generally benign as there is rich collateral blood supply and a relatively low incidence of stroke. Antiplatelet therapy is warranted usually with aspirin. Ticlid, a platelet aggregate inhibitor, has also been used in these patients, but because of the risk of life-threatening neurtropenia, it is only warranted in those patients unable to tolerate aspirin.
Many patients who suffer from migraine have concomitant vertigo and disequilibrium. Furthermore, if their headaches are controlled, they are often asymptomatic from their vertigo. Diagnostic criteria include personal or family history of migraines, motion intolerance, and vestibular symptoms that do not fit other vestibular disorders. Several theories are currently postulated as the mechanism underlying migraine. Symptoms may be of vascular origin, abnormal neural activity in the brainstem, or abnormal voltage-gated calcium channel genes. Treatment includes modifying risk factors, abortive medical therapy, and prophylaxis. These patients should avoid nicotine products, exogenous estrogens, and foods that exacerbate symptoms (red wine, sharp cheese, chocolate, MSG, etc.). Exercise programs and stress reduction are also important. Ergots, sumatriptin, and midrin are helpful in aborting acute attacks. Prophylactic medical therapy can be started if migraines occur several times a month (aspirin, ibuprofen, lithium, calcium channel blockers, amitryptiline and beta blockers).
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)
The use of exercise in the rehabilitation of patients with vestibular disorders is aimed at promoting vestibular compensation. Many treatment approaches have been designed to promote compensation through habituation. Other approaches are designed to enhance the adaptation of the vestibulo-ocular and vestibulo-spinal reflexes so that less input is required from the vestibular system. Many of these exercises may initially exacerbate the patient's symptoms, so counseling the patient to relieve anxiety and mistrust is important.
Cawthorne-Cooksey exercises were developed in the 1940s and include movements of the head, tasks requiring coordination of the eyes with the head, total body movements, and balance tasks. They recommended performing exercises at tolerable speeds, different positions, and with the eyes open and closed. Also, they had patients perform the exercises in loud and noisy environments, which is often more difficult in patients with vestibulopathies. There are many modified versions of this treatment philosophy in use today.
Candidates for rehabilitation therapy are those with stable lesions of the peripheral or central vestibular system, poor central integration, or abnormal motor function. Many elderly patients with multiple sensorimotor and musculoskeletal deficits fall into this category. The basis for exercise therapy assumes that central compensation following vestibular injury has occurred in an incomplete or inappropriate manner, the patient's symptoms stem from this incorrect compensation and not from fluctuating disease, and customized therapy is more effective than general exercise in changing this compensatory status.
The current common techniques of VRT still include habituation of pathologic responses, postural control exercises, visual-vestibular interaction, and conditioning activities. While standardized exercises are helpful, therapists can individualize treatments by first identifying the pathologic movement that causes the symptoms and developing a list of activities that reproduce the movements. Those movements can be incorporated into normal daily activities so they are reliable and remain interesting to the patient. The exercises should be performed twice daily unless limited by nausea and vomiting. Many patients report improvement within 4 to 6 weeks. However, the longer the problem has existed, the longer the recovery time will be.
Gait exercises can also be added to improve postural control. The starting point may be simple static balance exercises with eyes open and closed, on a stable support surface or on foam. The base of support can be gradually decreased to stress the patient's balance. Practice generally improves overall postural control. The patient also needs the practice of walking in different environments (grass, malls, or at night).
An important point to remember is that the input from two sensory systems is required for adequate postural stability. If there are losses in the visual or somatosensory systems, there is generally a poorer response to VRT. The goal and final level of recovery should be a return to most activities.
Patients with vestibular complaints commonly present
to the otolaryngologist. A thorough evaluation an understanding of
common vestibular disorders is important in their diagnosis and treatment. After diagnosis and treatment of acute
symptoms, weaning of vestibular suppressants and specific pharmacotherapy
should be instituted. Patients with

James D. Berry, MD, MPH has received the Richard Olney, MD, Clinician-Scientist Development Award for his investigation of cells in the immune system.
Massachusetts General Hospital Researcher Receives Award for ALS Research
Boston Researcher Receives $240,000 Award for ALS Research Funded by American Brain Foundation and ALS Association
SAN DIEGO – A Massachusetts researcher will receive $240,000 to continue his research on immune system changes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) through the Richard Olney, MD, Clinician-Scientist Development Three-Year Award funded by The American Brain Foundation and The ALS Association. The award was presented in San Diego during the American Academy of Neurology's 65th Annual Meeting, the world's largest meeting of neurologists.
James D. Berry, MD, MPH, a researcher at the Massachusetts General Hospital and instructor at Harvard Medical School, received this award for his investigation of cells in the immune system that could potentially be used as a blood test for ALS. This award aims to recognize the importance of good clinical research and encourage young investigators in clinical studies. The three-year award will consist of an annual salary of $75,000, plus $5,000 per year in educational expenses.
ALS, often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Affecting 30,000 Americans, its cause is unknown, there is no specific test for diagnosis, and there is no cure.
Clinical research is the fundamental transition stage between discovery and treatment. Clinical research provides the scientific basis for all forms of care, addresses patient and caregiver needs and is the backbone for drug development and cost-effectiveness studies needed to improve lives. Fellowships provide recipients with up to three years of "protected time," with salary that allows them to continue important research projects.

Letter: Vote for Giagnorio ensures transparency
To the Editor: Election Day will be here before we know it and results will soon be front-page news. Yes, voters, it's election time and, as is so often the case with these mid-term local elections, we will likely see low voter turnout. Let us educated voters prove the pundits wrong with an unprecedented turnout.
Lombard has an opportunity to bring true leadership and dedication to making the collective community first again with the election of Keith Giagnorio as village president. These past months have seen our Village Board in a state of disarray, divisiveness and lacking in defined leadership and direction.
Some seemingly put advancement of personal agendas at any cost ahead of putting Lombard first. Recent items like the proposed redevelopment of the Ken Loch property, the continued funding of the Friends of the DuPage Theatre's arts agenda, and the attempt to micromanage department heads' budgets truly makes one wonder whose interests they are representing.

I have tried many different ways to track prayer requests and who I need to pray for. I have kept a hand-written prayer journal, an excel spreadsheet, an Evernote note, and shamefully even just tried to keep it all in my head. But I have never quite found the perfect solution.
Well, there is a new free app on the market promising to deliver a new way to pray – the Ora App.
I recently downloaded it, and I'm very pleased with what I have found.
Ora is like a social network for prayer. You create a profile and instead of posting a status or tweeting, you post prayer requests.
You can invite your friends to join, and divide them into groups. So you can get your small group together, a group of pastors you to pray for, or even a group for your entire church.
Once a prayer is posted, you can comment on prayer requests and swipe the request to let them know that you have prayed for it.
You can also mark your prayers as answered and keep track of God's faithfulness.
Another cool feature is that you can also set an alarm to remind you to pray every day at a specific time.

this little piggy had swine flu, this little piggy had none
When I first read about the swing flu, my first thought was 'Oh dear.' My second thought was, 'Wait a minute.' The media feeds on whispers of pandemonium like a pig on slop: If it bleeds, it leads. Sensationalize the scandal. Sell the news. They are in the business, remember, of getting an ever growing audience. And if their reporting style doesn't do it, and | Read More »

Research published in the November 19 issue of The Lancet finds that MRI use for breast cancer screening in women at high risk for the disease – due to family history or a genetic mutation – detects more cancers than screening mammography. The review article also reports that cancers detected by MRI are smaller and less likely to have lymph node involvement than those detected by mammography. These findings provide strong evidence that MRI can benefit this high-risk group. [Read PubMed abstract.]
However, despite MRI being better than mammography at detecting tumors, MRI did not lead to improved outcomes for most women with breast cancer who underwent imaging prior to selecting a treatment.
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Breast Surgical Service Chief Monica Morrow, lead author of the article, writes that MRI has become widely used to evaluate newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. The expectation had been that MRI's higher sensitivity for detecting tumors would benefit patients by more accurately identifying the extent of cancer in the breast.
This would presumably lead to better surgical choices for removing the cancer, reducing the number of operations required, and possibly lowering the risk of the disease recurring. However, a review of patient outcome data from multiple studies found no evidence of such benefits.
"Our study differs from others in that we specifically asked whether MRI findings changed these outcomes for patients," Dr. Morrow says. "There is no doubt that MRI finds some cancer that is undetected with other imaging methods, but in most patients this has not been shown to help when choosing a type of surgery."
Evidence suggests MRI is still beneficial for specific groups of breast cancer patients, such as those receiving chemotherapy before surgery and those who have cancer in the lymph nodes without an identifiable breast tumor.
Dr. Morrow adds that the true value of MRI use in breast cancer patients may ultimately lie in its ability to assess how well a specific case of breast cancer is responding to a particular drug treatment, although this needs to be validated by large studies.

Staying on this yacht makes you feel like you're in an glamourous movie from back in the day. The maritime setup is very charming. The reception staff is very helpful. The hotel is in a GREAT location. The room, though small, was very comfortable. The fact that they have a sauna is a HUGE PLUS!!! I'd definitely recommend staying here.... More
