One of Japan's leading dictionaries has made a significant (and arguably long overdue) step towards acknowledging and normalizing homosexuality by revising the entries for words relating to love and sex. They have removed restrictive references to these feelings existing only between a man and a woman, opening up the definition of love to everyone — gay, straight, or otherwise.

Why Japanese doesn't need swear words
Casey Baseel
Oct 28, 2014
The other day, my wife and I spent the day hanging out at the beautiful and awesome Hitachi Seaside Park. As we headed towards the exit at dusk, I pointed to a grove of trees with the sun setting behind them and got to bust out one of my favorite five-dollar Japanese vocabulary words: komorebi.
In retrospect, two things come to mind. First, shouldn't a five-dollar Japanese word really be a 500-yen word? And second, why is it that the Japanese language has vocabulary as specific as komorebi, meaning "sunlight filtering though trees," yet doesn't have a good equivalent for *#&!, %?$!, or even &*!$?
Heads up! The following discussion of profanity contains language that might best be read when you're not at work or school.
Why does Engrish happen in Japan?
Casey Baseel
Oct 17, 2014
Over the years, Japan has earned a reputation for its awkward command of English, with results ranging from the perplexing to downright hilarious. The country's translation screw-ups are so common that they've even earned their own collective name, "Engrish."
But for all the sites that poke fun at Engrish, it's almost impossible to find one that talks about why it happens. So today we're offering a bit of explanation along with the laughs, as we look at a sign in Japan that informs English-reading passersby that "Today is under construction."
Clever font sneaks pronunciation guide for English speakers into Japanese katakana characters
Casey Baseel
Oct 15, 2014
Written Japanese uses three kinds of script. At the top of the difficulty curve, you've got kanji, the complex characters originally imported from China that can require over a dozen brush strokes to write, with each kanji representing a word or concept.
A little less challenging are hiragana, a set of 50 curving phonetic characters, but if English is your native language, odds are you'll have the least trouble with angular katakana. Like hiragana, katakana is a phonetic system, so each character corresponds to a syllable. Even better, while often one kanji can have three or four possible readings, each katakana has just one possible pronunciation.
Of course, you still have to memorize how to pronounce all 50 katakana (85 if you're being really technical) in the first place. One group of graphic designers are aiming to make that task a little easier, though, with a font that combines katakana with phonetics written in English.

In college, I had a classmate who, almost every day, would talk about the list of tuning mods he had planned for his car. Sometimes, he'd talk about his plans to order some sweet JDM parts from Honda's in-house aftermarket division, Mugen, and you can't imagine how much it drove me up the walls.
I didn't begrudge the guy his daydream, but what I couldn't take was the way he pronounced it "Myu-gen" instead of "Moo-gen," adding in a phantom Y sound that has no place in the Japanese word for "without limits."
But hey, a lot of people in the U.S. mispronounce it that way, and can you blame them? Pronouncing foreign words can be tricky, which is why there's now a video which will teach you the correct way to pronounce the names of all of Japan's major car makers. And, once you've mastered them all, we'll even explain what they mean.
With their global popularity showing no sign of waning, One Direction have had a busy year, and are set for more of the same in 2015 after already announcing their On The Road Again Tour 2015. The band first visited Japan in January 2013, and since then floppy-haired tween sex symbol Harry Styles seems to have become quite taken with the country. Now it looks like he has made it his mission to spread a little bit of Japanese culture to his millions of adoring fans.
Invoice puts Japanese company in running for greenest in Japan, at least as far as names go
Casey Baseel
Sep 27, 2014
Whereas a lot of last names in English come from professions, such as Smith, Hunter, and Baker, you don't find a lot of work-related ones in Japan. Generally, Japanese family names have some sort of connection to the natural environment, such as Ogawa ("Small River"), Yamada ("Mountain Field"), or Takeoka ("Bamboo Hill").
You could debate whether or not this is the result of a deep-rooted Japanese respect for nature, or simply that for centuries the feudal system forced the vast majority of the population into agriculture. Regardless of the reason, there's no denying the linguistic phenomenon, as proven by the signatures on this invoice from what appears to be the most ecologically oriented company in Japan, at least in terms of names.

Ah, the wonders of learning a second language. There's much to be said for the sense of satisfaction and achievement that comes from communicating effectively in another tongue. There's also much to be said about the head-scratching and sense of humility that comes from tripping up and sounding like a buffoon.
We've found 10 tweeted tales of confusion from Japanese people who've had amusing encounters with foreigners in Japan. Some strike such a chord with Japanese that they've been retweeted and shared hundreds, sometimes even thousands of times.
So what is it that we foreigners do that's so amusing?

N.Y. man's Japanese T-shirt announces "I am not Sato," we couldn't agree more
Casey Baseel
Sep 17, 2014
Among RocketNews24's bilingual writing team, you won't find a single person who hasn't, at some point, linguistically crammed their foot in their mouth (personally, I know I've gotten my knee and most of my thigh past my pearly whites on at least three separate occasions). So while we can definitely appreciate the humor involved in a strange language screw-up, we know we're not immune to such things ourselves, and that the rest of the world can weird up its Japanese just as often as Japan stumbles over English.
Case in point: this man spotted napping on the subway in the U.S., who felt the need to inform his fellow passengers who can read Japanese that he is, in fact, not Mr. Sato.
Textbook gives Chinese otaku Japanese lessons with a side of anime girls and dialogue
Casey Baseel
Aug 25, 2014
There's an odd paradox in learning a foreign language, in that often the phrases most satisfying to use in real life are the least exciting to study. For example, take the phrase, "Nama wo ippai kudasai."
It means "One draft beer, please." Utter the sentence at a restaurant in Tokyo on a hot afternoon, where it actually produces a cold glass of beer, and for that one moment, you feel like you're the linguistic king of the world. In a classroom or self-study setting, though there's nothing particularly colorful or fun about it, making it less likely to leave an impression in your mind and pretty easy to forget.
Trying to combat this is a Japanese text-book, which we found on a recent trip to China, that spices things up by teaching phrases taken not from everyday life, but from Japan's biggest cultural ambassador, anime.

There are a lot of things that surprise newcomers to anime. Why are the characters' eyes so big? How come everyone has funky hair colors? What's up with all the panty shots?
A lot of those have simple answers. The giant eyes are an influence from legendary manga artist Osamu Tezuka, who was in turn inspired by classic Disney designs. Anime artwork uses a relatively small number of lines in drawing faces, and a large palette of hair colors is a quick and easy way to differentiate otherwise similar-looking characters. Male anime fans in Japan are extraordinarily open about their love of undies.
With those questions out of the way, let's take a look at something a bit less cut-and-dried: Why are there so many anime characters with non-Japanese names?

BuzzFeed's video of "anime expressions" delivers more laughs than useful language pointers
Casey Baseel
Aug 19, 2014
Last spring, BuzzFeed released a pair of videos, one dealing with what people around the world eat when they get up in the morning, and the other about what they eat after they get liquored up in a bar. Those are both interesting concepts, since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and the post-drinking, pre-hangover snack is the happiest, but we couldn't help but scratch our heads at their selections for Japan, neither of which were things we remembered eating in our time living in the country.
Now, BuzzFeed has moved on from the foods Japan puts in its mouth to the words coming out of it, with a new video titled 11 Anime Expressions To Show How You Really Feel. Let's see how they handled the switch from gastronomy to linguistics.
Too hot during the blackout? Cool down with an electric fan, veteran newscaster suggests
Casey Baseel
Jul 25, 2014
With more than 25 years of working in broadcast journalism, Japanese newscaster Ichiro Furutachi has turned in plenty of fine on-air performances. Still, each time you go before the cameras you're spinning that roulette wheel, and it's only a matter of time until you end up with a flub or two.
Earlier this year, the 59-year-old Furutachi elicited chuckles with his comments that exposed his lack of understanding about PowerPoint. It wasn't Furutachi's lack of knowledge regarding the finer points of the ubiquitous presentation software that surprised the public, but rather his admission that he didn't even know what PowerPoint was.
What's more, if we take the words of Furutachi's most recent gaffe literally, it would seem that he's not just confused about computer programs, but how electricity works, when he suggested using a room fan to stay cool during a blackout…

The tricky game of wits that sometimes lurks behind a Kyoto granny's compliment
Casey Baseel
Jul 17, 2014
One of the most characteristic parts of communication in Japan is the frequency with which people dish out compliments. Travelers and expats, for example, quickly become accustomed to being praised when displaying even the most basic skills with chopsticks or the local language.
Japanese people don't just have kind words for foreigners, though, but for each other, too. Modesty and empathy are considered virtues of the highest order, so when someone shows any sort of ability, good manners dictate that you should notice and appreciate whatever small trace of talent can be found, as well as the effort that went into acquiring it while leading what, courtesy says you should assume, is a busy life.
Of course, sometimes these compliments aren't triggered by the speaker being genuinely impressed, but rather just polite, or in some extreme cases, irritated.

To say kawaii or not to say kawaii? Almost half of Japanese guys don't want to be "cute"
Casey Baseel
Jul 11, 2014
It's no secret that Japan is seriously into cuteness. Accordingly, in most situations, deeming something kawaii, or cute, is seen as high praise.
This is especially true when it comes to women. Whereas in English-speaking countries some may take issue with what they perceive as a diminutive or demeaning connotation to the word "cute," in Japan, calling a girl kawaii is almost universally considered a compliment. Even actresses and models who would ordinarily be described as "beautiful" by English speakers earn kawaii cred if they have a kind smile, or any other sort of soft warmth to the aura they project.
But while just about any Japanese woman is happy to be called kawaii, things aren't quite so simple for men.

Pokeberu, Mr. Legs, and cho beri ba: Eight Japanese words young people can't understand
Casey Baseel
Jul 1, 2014
After spending a year in college studying in Tokyo, I moved back to Los Angeles for about two years before coming back to Japan for work. Having always prided myself on my familiarity with Japanese slang (partly to distract myself from my terrible penmanship when writing kanji characters), I was surprised to find out how many new terms had sprung up in just the 22 months I'd been away.
At the same time, it turned out that a few of the vocabulary words I'd picked up while studying abroad had since passed their expiration dates and become obsolete. This wasn't a one-time transition, either, as language is constantly evolving, and today we bring you a list of eight words that'll at best make you sound like a senior citizen, and at worst simply won't be understood by anyone under the age of 25.
Everyone has their own studying methods, but no matter which one you choose, learning a language boils down to mastering four things; reading, writing, listening and speaking. I know people who study so hard they literally memorize words out of a dictionary. There are also the people who think that the best way to pick up a language is to live in the native country and speak the lingo as much as possible.
I believe in practicing over studying. And by "practicing", I mostly mean "surfing the internet". If you're currently struggling with learning the Japanese language, or if you hate studying but would like to improve your Japanese, read on!
Compose your own cheese-tastic J-pop love songs with this handy lyric generator
Casey Baseel
May 31, 2014
One of the very first Japanese words I learned was afuredasu, or "overflow." This wasn't because it showed up in a textbook or a teacher taught it to me, but because afuredasu seems to show up in roughly a third of every Japanese pop song ever produced.
It's not the only phrase that's a regular in J-pop lyrics though, as shown by this flow-chart that can turn anyone into a Japanese lyricist.
Sometimes, a name that's perfectly normal in one language can sound funny, or maybe even offensive in another. One day in college, for example, my friend Gary and I volunteered to show some visiting Japanese students around campus. We met them in the student union, and as soon as Gary introduced himself, one of them couldn't suppress a tiny chuckle.
You see the name Gary sounds an awful lot like geri, which means "diarrhea" in Japanese. So when my classmate said "Watashi wa Gary desu," they didn't hear "I'm Gary;" they heard "I've got the runs."
Of course, the same thing can happen in reverse, too. Just ask the students and faculty of one of Japan's proudest institutions of higher learning, Kinki University.

I was born a lefty, but apparently somewhere along the way I decided that there must be something to this right-handedness thing, since 90 percent of the world was doing it. I made the switch to using my right hand for most things around the time I started kindergarten, and ever since, the unusual transition has been my go to excuse for never excelling at sports that favor precise dexterity over running into people as hard as you can.
Had I stuck with the cards life had dealt me, though, my daily life might have been different in a number of ways, as shown by this list of troubles left-handed people in Japan run into.

Bilal Dixon led the team in scoring with 18 points
Feb. 1, 2012
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Providence College men's basketball team (13-10, 2-8 BIG EAST) defeated the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (12-11, 4-6 BIG EAST) by the score of 78-67, on Feb. 1, at the Dunkin' Donuts Center.
Five Friars scored in double-digits in the victory. Junior Bilal Dixon (Jersey City, N.J.) registered his first double-double of the season and led the team in scoring with 18 points and 10 rebounds, while classmate Vincent Council (Brooklyn, N.Y.) posted his seventh double-double this season with 11 points and 14 assists. Bryce Cotton (Tucson, Ariz.) scored 17 points, freshman LaDontae Henton (Lansing, Mich.) added 15 points and nine rebounds, and sophomore Gerard Coleman contributed 15 points.
Providence has had five players in double figures three times this season, including today's Rutgers win.
Council's 14 assists tied a BIG EAST record for a single game this season.
After a 3-of-8 performance from the free throw line in the first half, PC went 16-of-20 in the second half. The Friars made their 10 free throws over the final 3:10 of the game.
Rutgers began the second half with a 26-14 run to cut the Friar lead to four points, 56-52, with 6:49 to play. The Scarlet Knights cut the Providence lead to four again with 2:40 but Cotton notched back to back 3-pointers to secure a 10 point lead (70-60) and salt it away.
The Friars started the game strong with a 9-3 run to lead by six with 16:18 on the clock. The two teams traded baskets, with Rutgers leading by as many as five points, until Providence finished the half on a 19-5 run. PC took a 40-26 lead into the intermission. Council registered a double-double in the half with 11 points and 10 assists.
The victory ends a four-game losing streak for Providence.
The Friars are back in action when they host West Virginia on Sunday, Feb. 5, at the Dunkin' Donuts Center. The game will be aired live on Cox and ESPN3 with the opening tip set for noon.

Broken Dishes (Benni Harper Series #11)
Posted April 18, 2004
If mysteries can be warm, satisfying, and exciting, Earlene Fowler does it with her Benni Harper series. For those who haven't met Benni yet, she's quite a protagonist; she's a cowgirl, a quilter, a sometimes detective, and the happily married wife of handsome San Celina , CA Police chief Gabe Ortiz. Beginning with the cowgirl part, Benni lives on a ranch on California's Central Coast. Moving on to the quilter, Agatha Award winner Fowler has titled this book, the 11th in her series, 'Broken Dishes,' which is also the name of a quilt pattern. Described as a simple pattern made up of triangles 'arranged in a four-patch square,' it achieves the effect of broken dishes by placing the square at different angles. Now, while the quilt pattern may be simple the problems faced by a ranch familiarly known as Broken Dishes are not. This is a 5,000 acre spread once owned by Joe Darnell, Benni's father's best friend. Joe had mortgaged the ranch to the hilt, wishing to save land that had been in his family for half a century. His idea was to turn the place into a dude ranch. But, then Joe had a heart attack and died. Now, the ranch is in the hands of his daughter, Shawna, and her husband, Johnny. Unfortunately, it looks like the dude ranch may become a dud unless something turns business around - Benni to the rescue. Her idea is to lure customers with the promise of real Western hospitality, home cooking, hunting, fishing, trail rides, barbecues, and rodeos. Good plan and all goes well until the first guests discover a skeleton in a poorly made grave. Of course, someone's been dead and buried for quite a while. Nonetheless, it's up to Benni to keep the guests happy and feeling safe. Her nemesis, 'Hud' Hudson shows up and it's discovered that the late whoever was murdered. To complicate matters further there are whispers that a well known travel writer is among the guests. None of this will look well in print. Fowler fans know that she stitches a well connected plot with both surprises and fun along the way. 'Broken Dishes' may well win this author one more Agatha.Was this review helpful?

Mass. man caught with $35k of steroids could cut plea deal
Mark Ferrara, 25, of Wilmington, Mass., who is facing 13 counts of possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute, was arrested June 4 by the Rockingham County sheriff's Drug Task Force. Prosecutors had offered Ferrara a two-to-six-year prison term in October.
That deal apparently wasn't accepted, according to court papers, but plea negotiations have been ongoing. Defense lawyer John Gillen asked to put off Ferrara's initial January trial date so talks could continue.
Ferrara, he said in court papers, "has been enrolled in professional therapy sessions and is currently being evaluated for several potential mental health issues."
Gillen told a judge he wanted his client "properly evaluated by mental health professionals" so he could recommend a treatment program that could be considered during sentencing. When Ferrara was arrested in June, deputies with the Rockingham County Sheriff's Drug Task Force said they found a trove 8,000 pills of various steroids in the vehicle.
Investigators also seized roughly 1,090 milliliters of injectable steroids, $1,100 in cash and hypodermic needles during the car search, the sheriff's department said.
Wilmington police executed a search warrant at Ferrara's home following his arrest. Police seized $47,000 in cash, along with more steroids and about 200 hypodermic needles, according to the sheriff's department.
Ferrara was the target of a three-month investigation, which included assistance by a variety of law enforcement agencies in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, the sheriff's department said. His vehicle was stopped by investigators in the northbound lane of Route 125 around 2:45 p.m.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration / Cross Border Initiative in Lowell, Mass., Kingston, Plaistow and Somersworth police departments also assisted in the investigation. Each of the charges carries a potential prison term of up to 3½ to 7 years and a $100,000 fine, according to court records.

The assaulter who attempted to kill Bulgarian Movement for Rights and Freedoms party Ahmed Dogan was beaten into "bad shape", according to prosecutor Nikolay Kokinov.
Kokinov spoke for media after the incident, which Dogan escaped unharmed, and said he had already talked to the attacker.
"He was not in a good shape, there was blood on his face," stated the Sofia City Prosecutor....
He must sue!

Multiplication of Musa from excised stem tips.
ABSTRACT Rapidly multiplying cultures were established from excised shoot tips of two dessert banana clones ('Philippine Lacatan' and 'Grande Naine') and two plantain clones ('Pelipita' and 'Saba'). Apices cultured on semi-solid media produced single shoots while apices placed in liquid media produced shoot clusters. Individual shoots were induced to form multiple shoot clusters by longitudinally splitting the shoot through the apex. Shoot multiplication was stimulated maximally by 5 mg l-1 benzylaminopurine. Rooted plants were produced by treating shoots with auxins. Growth rates based on increase in f. wt of the four clones were compared. During a 4-week culture period 'Pelipita' showed a fivefold increase in f. wt while 'Grande Naine', 'Philippine Lacatan' and 'Saba' showed increases exceeding tenfold.

ABSTRACT: An efficient, simple, and rapid regeneration system was established for bananas (Musa sp.) using sections of corm containing intercalary meristematic tissues as explants. Six different cultivars of banana ('Mpologoma', 'Nakitembe', 'Mbwazirume', 'Pisang awak', 'Sukali ndiizi', and 'FHIA-17') with diverse genetic constitution and ploidy levels were regenerated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 5 mgl of 6-benzylaminopurine. All the cultivars showed relatively high regeneration efficiency. About 93–97% of the explants regenerated, producing, on average, 12–13 shoots from whole section and 16–19 shoots in total from quarter pieces of each section. Regeneration from intercalary meristematic tissues offers a simple, efficient method for transformation of a broad range of banana cultivars, including East African Highland bananas.Journal of Crop Improvement 01/2008; 22(2):171-180.
Article: Micropropagation of some Malaysian banana and plantain (Musa sp.) cultivars using male flowers[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Male inflorescences have potential to be used as explants for rapid micropropagation of Musa sp. The male flowers of four banana cultivars, namely 'Berangan', 'Rastali', 'Nangka' and 'Abu' belonging to three genome types in Musa (AAA, AAB, and ABB), were cultured onto Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium which was supplemented with 1 mg/L of TDZ, BAP, Kin, 2-ip and Zea. The number of shoots was found to significantly increase in both TDZ and BAP treatments, as compared to other cytokinins. TDZ at 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 mg/L, in particular, appeared to be optimum for shoot induction in 'Berangan-AAA', 'Rastali-AAB' and 'Nangka-AAB' and 'Abu-ABB', respectively. However, all the cultivars showed their highest response to regeneration at 8 mg/L of BAP. After the initiation of the explants onto the MS media for all the cultivars, the highest number of cauliflower-like bodies' (CLBs) clusters was observed at two months of culture. The number of induced 'CLBs' cluster is dependent on the size of male buds. Male inflorescences with the size of 20 mm were found to induce more 'CLBs' clusters. Meanwhile, the number of shoots produced is dependent on both the cytokinins and cultivars used.AFRICAN JOURNAL OF BIOTECHNOLOGY 05/2010; 9:2360-2366. · 0.57 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Two essays were carried out to evaluate the effect of different types of auxins on root formation and the influence of dark and culture substratum on tetraploid hybrid FHIA-01 proliferation (Musa spp. AAAB). The plant material consisted of tissue culture plantlets of FHIA -01 hybrid tetraploid banana (Musa AAAB). The trial, with a total of 10 replicates per treatment was carried out in each pot containing five explants. For both tests, a combination of two cytokinins was enriched in culture substratum. The results obtained show that regeneration was high in culture substratum with light than substratum without meta-methoxytopolin riboside (M2). The medium M2 to the light induced a higher number of the buds compared to medium dose reduced meta-methoxytopolin riboside (M1). Meanwhile, only explants inoculated on the medium M1 in the dark induced callus. The bud proliferation, induction of root, leaf and the broadcast callus induction are significantly influenced by the different substratum and photoperiod, increasing the explant size, the number of emerged leaves, roots and the number of the weight of explant with buds proliferated. Formulating specific culture media cultivars according to group (ABB or AAA) and the choice of culture conditions (light intensity) would avoid consecutive failures and low proliferation in in vitro culture.International journal of innovation and applied studies. 03/2014; 5(3):280-293.

Innovation and Development - BAC should consistently focus on innovative and developmental concepts which will increase the capacity of the organisation and offers users new, unique and individual opportunities and experiences.
Accountability and Transparency - BAC should be accountable to its stakeholders at all times, and should make decisions by means of honest, open and transparent communication.

I spent just under a year here as a teenager, in 1999-2000. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. This place is a disgusting dirty shit hole! Every time they let me out of my cell I would have to fight some one, the gaurds were very disrespectful and abusive. One time the guard ramed my head off the steel door a few times then tried to break my fingers. some times the inmates think it's a great idea to flood the cells so they would back up the toilet and just keep flusing it till there was shitty toilet water all over the cell block. I witnessed on numerous occasion the guards abuse helpless teenage kids.

all in all a pretty decent place. food as well as can be expected, guards some good some bad, same as any job place. I found it ridiculous myself and many others being there on a breach and sorry to say but the judges who do this are ridiculous, apparently over a thousand dollars a day to house an inmate when community service work would be helping cut costs instead taxpayers are paying for this....truly ridiculous. if a person is charged with a breach make them work for it not cost the taxpayers thousands of dollars. funny thing for each breach there is a charge of $100 or you can make the choice and do a day, one day in jail...this is totally ludicrous....so for 42 days I was there I cost you all 4200 when I could have been punished accordingly. put in a jail/daycare where you get t.v. phone, programs, people to chat with is not much of a punishment. making me clean a halfway house, or work at a soup kitchen or anything to help out the community would be all better. so shame on the judges, for there really is ALOT of people in there for breaches.

My loving Husband has been in OC/DC since December 19th 2013.The day that he was suppose to go to trial, the guard from OC/DC that brought him down to Cornwall put gloves on all because of my husbands health status that he has. It didn't go to to trial and after everything was done, as the guard down here took him out the box were he was, he almost fell and the guard didn't bother to help him up, once he got himself up the same guard pushed my husband to in the door to were the holding cells are. His lawyer said to the judge about his health status.
This place always seems to be in the news in Ottawa...poor conditions, too crowded, etc...I'm sure it's not a nice place to be detained...

I was beat down by the guards then shipped out to Lindsay.
My son is in jail after having done something under the influence. He does not even remember it. He had been making progress in his life by working and going to school. Now he is incarcerated. I have to take a very long bus ride to visit him for only 20 minutes. It is very painful to see your child in jail. It does not make me feel any better to know that the conditions are so bad. All I can do is hope and pray that he will not get MRSA and that he will get the help that he needs to overcome his need to abuse drugs and alcohol.

Sainz 'extremely proud' of Dakar win
|By Pablo Elizalde
|Monday, January 18th 2010, 10:45 GMT
Carlos Sainz says he is 'extremely proud' after taking victory in this year's Dakar rally with the Volkswagen team.
The former world rally champion clinched his first victory of the event in which he made his debut in 2006, beating team-mate Nasser Al-Attiyah by just over two minutes after 14 stages.
Sainz admitted it was hard to choose the greatest victory of his career, but admitted he was very proud of his achievement this year.
"I've won two rally world championships and now the 'Dakar'. In principle both are similar disciplines, however, at the same time completely different. And they are difficult to win," said the Spaniard.
"One thing is sure: the Dakar Rally is a great race of enormous importance in the sporting world. To have won this makes me extremely proud, particularly as I won it my way, and according to my understanding of this sport."
The Spaniard said he had not decided on what he will do next or if he will try to defend his title next year.
"With the 'Dakar' only just behind me I haven't given this very much thought," said Sainz. "However, I will certainly be getting together with Kris Nissen soon.
"(laughs) Perhaps Volkswagen will move into Formula 1 - that would be just at the right time for me," added the 47-year-old.
Sainz said trying to win for his team was the best way to stay motivated after so many years in motorsport.
"I always tell myself: you have to win for your guys. Winning is the best motivation. The team is fully and entirely devoted to winning, and you can only reward this incredible performance by permanently doing your utmost.
"It is a good feeling to repay the crew on my car, my engineer Gerard Zyzik and the management team under Volkswagen Motorsport Director Kris Nissen and Team manager Peter Utoft with a 'Dakar' win for their efforts."

What does jaundice indicate?
Jaundice (a build up of waste product known as bilirubin from the break breakdown and removal of iron from haemoglobin in blood cells) indicates that the person suffering from… the condition has an underlying medical condition. There are three main types of jaundice which are divided into groups based on their underlying causes. Information on these (taken from the UK NHS website) is summarised below: 1. Hepatocellular jaundice This occurs when bilirubin remains within the liver, rather than travelling to the kidneys for removal from the body. This can be caused by liver failure, liver disease (cirrhosis), hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) or by taking certain medication. This is the most common type of jaundice. 2. Haemolytic jaundice This occurs when an excess of bilirubin is produced due to the break down of a large number of red blood cells. This may be due to anaemia or a problem with metabolism and a number of other conditions. 3. Obstructive jaundice This occurs when the bile duct becomes blocked preventing bilirubin from leaving the liver. This is usually caused by gallstones, a cyst or a tumour of the bile duct or pancreas. (MORE)
What should you eat in Jaundice?
1. Mash one ripe banana with one tablespoon of honey and eat it twice a day.2.high intake of limejuice is highly beneficial.3.take one glass of sugarcane juice and half a lemo…n twice daily.

Take one pinch of black pepper mixed in buttermilk for at least 7 days.6. Carrot juice is highly beneficial for the jaundice patients. (MORE)
Can you eat potato during jaundice?
Potatoes are rich in vitamin D and they are safe to eat during jaundice. This includes sweet potatoes and yams.

If you want to know more about jaundice check out this site http://www.jaundicesymptoms.net/ (MORE)
What is prehepatic Jaundice and posthepatic jaundice?
Pre-hepatic jaundice is jaundice that originates from a problem before the liver. The main example of this is haemolysis - when excess red blood cells are broken down. One of… the products of this is bilirubin. This causes the hepatocytes (liver cells) to become overwhelmed - they cannot keep up with the amount of unconjugated bilirubin entering the liver. This then enters the systemic circulation, causing jaundice. Bilirubin is a pigment that turns tissues yellow. Post-hepatic jaundice occurs after the liver has conjugated the bilirubin. This is usually a blockage of the bile duct(s). This stops bile from exiting the liver through the normal way, forcing it backwards and into the systemic circulation (causing jaundice). (MORE)

To identify the survival and standardized mortality ratio with respect to gender, age, and treatment method of patients treated for femoral neck fractures. A retrospective review of medical records of 736 patients treated for femoral neck fractures at Vilnius University Emergency Hospital during 2004-2006 was carried out. The overall 1- and 2-year survival rates were 77.4% and 67.1%, respectively. Lower survival rates were observed in the internal fixation group than in the primary and secondary total hip arthroplasty groups (63.2% vs. 72.0% and 75.1%). Cox proportional hazards model analysis showed patient age to be a significant risk factor for survival (hazard ratio, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.04-1.07; P<0.001). The overall standardized mortality ratio was 2.50. The standardized mortality ratios for men and women were 3.07 and 2.27, respectively, but the difference between these groups was not significant. Standardized mortality and survival rates decreased with increasing patients' age. Significantly lower survival rates were documented in the internal fixation group as compared with primary and secondary total hip arthroplasty groups. There was a trend toward a higher standardized mortality ratio in men than women, but the difference was not significant.

The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of paraneoplastic rheumatic syndromes in a cohort of patients with newly diagnosed solid tumours and to describe their autoimmune profile, comparing it to the controls. Screening questionnaires (3,770) were distributed, and during a three-step study, 94 patients were confirmed to have both paraneoplastic syndrome and oncology diagnoses. Three control groups-patients with undifferentiated arthritis, Raynaud's phenomenon for non-malignant causes and solid tumours only-were designed to compare with the paraneoplastic cases and their immunology profile. The prevalence of paraneoplastic rheumatic syndromes was 2.65% (95% CI 0.21-3.20). The group of patients with arthritis and the group of patients with Raynaud's syndrome were found to prevail among other clinical presentations of paraneoplastic rheumatic syndromes. Both paraneoplastic syndromes were linked to malignancies of the urogenital system. Antinuclear antibodies were found to be similarly frequent in the paraneoplastic arthritis, paraneoplastic Raynaud's phenomenon and the solid tumour groups. No differences were observed when comparing paraneoplastic arthritis and undifferentiated arthritis, except that the patients with paraneoplastic arthritis were older. Comparing paraneoplastic Raynaud's to Raynaud's phenomenon, male preponderance in the paraneoplastic Raynaud's phenomenon group was observed, and the patients were obviously older. Paraneoplastic rheumatic syndromes are rare and more often occur in older patients. Among them, paraneoplastic arthritis and Raynaud's syndrome were the most frequent. The immunology profile does not help in discriminating between arthritis and paraneoplastic arthritis patients and is of limited use in Raynaud's differential diagnosis.

To investigate the carotid-radial pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, and flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery and factors possibly influencing them in women with rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. A total of 63 women with rheumatoid arthritis, 31 with systemic lupus erythematosus, and 72 controls, aged 18-55 years, were examined. Parameters of arterial stiffness, augmentation index and carotid-radial pulse wave velocity, were obtained by applanation tonometry (Sphygmocor (v.7.01) AtCor Medical). Flow-mediated dilatation of the brachial artery, reflecting endothelial function was determined by ultrasound system (Logiq 7, General Electric). The groups of women with rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus lupus differed from controls regarding augmentation index (P<0.001; P=0.008) and did not differ between each other. Women with systemic lupus erythematosus differed from controls regarding pulse wave velocity (P=0.018), while women with rheumatoid arthritis - did not. Flow-mediated dilatation in both the groups of diseases was not different from controls. In rheumatoid arthritis patients, mean blood pressure was the main explanatory factor for augmentation index and pulse wave velocity; vessel diameter and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol - for flow-mediated dilatation. In women with systemic lupus erythematosus, pulse wave velocity was not related to any of the pending parameters; augmentation index was dependent on organ damage index, age, and mean blood pressure, and flow-mediated dilatation on vessel diameter, body mass index, and disease duration. The mean blood pressure was the major and the only one risk factor of arterial stiffening in rheumatoid arthritis, while the disease damage index played the most important role in the systemic lupus erythematosus group. The mean blood pressure in the systemic lupus erythematosus group was not as important as in the rheumatoid arthritis group, though may have a partial influence.

[Hide abstract]
Introduction. Temporal arteritis (TA) is usually diagnosed according to clinical criteria, and temporal artery biopsy is considered as a golden standard for the diagnosis. Temporal artery biopsy is a surgical intervention on a head site and is not well-tolerated by the patients. As an alternative for temporal artery investigation, ultrasound examination may be used. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the performance of ultrasound examination of a temporal artery of patients with and without TA, but with similar clinical findings. Materials and results. Th irteen patients seen at Vilnius University Hospital Santariškių Klinikos during 2006–2009 with suspicion of TA were included into this study, and ultrasound examination of their both right and left superficial temporal arteries was performed. Eight patients were diagnosed with TA according to clinical criteria, and 5 patients had headaches of another origin. Two patients had a biopsy-proven diagnosis. The thickened wall ("halo" sign) and / or stenosis / occlusion were found on ultrasound examination in three patients. The presence of abnormality was found in five patients from the setting of TA patients, and no abnormalities were detected in the control group. Although the groups were very small and the data scanty, we consider the sensitivity of the abnormalities detected by ultrasound to be 62.5%, and the specificity was close to 100% in this pilot study. Conclusions. Authors recommend bilateral ultrasound examination of temporal arteries for patients with suspicion of giant cell arteritis (temporal arteritis). Our pilot study showed a sufficient sensitivity of this diagnostic test, although it greatly depends on the experience and skills of the performer.

99 Background. The main objective of this study is to understand the burden of ankylosing spond-ylitis (AS), to identify the aspects of health-related quality of life (QoL) in patients with AS and compare them with the control group (CG), to explore the factors influencing the QoL. Methods. 65 patients with AS and 67 CG patients participated in this study matching by age, sex and education. The interview comprised socio-demographic questions, the range of disease duration, number of patients with peripheral arthritis, uveitis, comorbidities. The Bath ankylosing spondylitis functional index (BASFI), the Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease ac-tivity index (BASDAI), the Bath ankylosing spondylitis global health index (BASG) have been translated, adapted and used in this study. Finally, both groups were asked to fill in the SF-36 as generic QoL instrument. Disease duration time (6.7 years) in AS group was more than twice shorter than time duration of complaints (16 years). More than one third of the patients had uveitis and more than half of them had arthritis. Results. QoL on all the scales of the SF-36, especially in physical health-related QoL, was significantly worse than in the CG. Disease-specific instruments – BASFI, BASDAI, BASG and pain – were significantly associated with the component of physical and mental health re-lated QoL. Conclusion. AS influences the subjective health of the affected person; especially the physical health related QoL. BASFI, BASDAI, BASG and pain are significantly associated with SF-36 physical and mental domains in patients with AS.

Be to, tiriamosios užpildė anketas funkciniam neįgalumui ir artrito naštai įvertinti. Visos tiriamųjų grupės užpildė Lietuvoje validizuotą gyvenimo kokybės klausimyną "SF-36" (angl. Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36). Rezultatai. Palyginus reumatinėmis ligomis sergančių tiriamųjų gyvenimo kokybę, nustatyta, jog sisteminės raudonosios vilkligės grupės tiriamosios jautė didesnį skausmą (p=0,017). Reumatoidinio artrito grupės tiriamosioms nustatyta ryškesnių veiklos apribojimų dėl emocinių problemų (p=0,038 Įvadas Reumatoidinis artritas (RA) ir sisteminė raudonoji vilkligė (SRV) priskiriamos svarbiausioms reumati-nėms ligoms. RA sergančius pacientus nuolat vargina sąnarių skausmas, uždegimas, o vėliau ir destrukcijos sąlygojama fizinė negalia, kuri gerokai apriboja ligo-nio savarankiškumą, sukelia psichologinę įtampą, so-cialinę disfunkciją (1). Ligonius, sergančius SRV, be odos bėrimų, sąnarių ar raumenų skausmo vargina ir daug kitų simptomų, atsirandančių dėl vidaus organų pažeidimo ar ilgalaikio medikamentinio gydymo (2). Šiems ligoniams tenka gyventi su dažnai nenuspė-jamos eigos, potencialiai mirtina liga. Ilgą laiką reu-matinių ligų vertinimą, gydymo veiksmingumą ban-dyta įsprausti į objektyvių, t. y. klinikinių, laborato-rinių arba rentgenologinių tyrimų rėmus. Siekiant įver-tinti ligonių, sergančių sąnarių ligomis, funkcines ga-limybes, psichinę būklę, parengti specialieji klausimy-nai: funkcinio neįgalumo (angl. Functional Index of Health Assessment Questionnaire – HAQ) klausimy-nas ir skalė artrito naštai įvertinti (angl. Arthritis Im-pact Measurement Scales – AIMS) (3, 4). Tačiau šie klausimynai neatspindi žmogaus subjektyvaus gero-vės suvokimo, kuris apima fizinį, psichologinį, socia-linį ir dvasinį lygmenis. Naudojant gyvenimo kokybės klausimynus, galima įvertinti subjektyvią paciento sa-vijautą, kiek lėtinė liga, negalia turi įtakos gyvenimo pilnatvei, planuoti ar įvertinti gydymo strategiją (5). Šio straipsnio tikslas – įvertinti ir palyginti RA, SRV sergančių ligonių ir kontrolinės grupės tiriamųjų gyve-nimo kokybę.
