Don't worry! That is what health authorities here are telling Barbadians who have fears about the new HPV vaccine being introduced in secondary schools next month.
"It is a vaccine which will prevent cancer of the cervix in women, but it also prevents other cancers, mainly cancer of the vagina, vulva, anus, and some throat cancers as well," said Senior Medical Officer of Health Dr Elizabeth Ferdinand this afternoon.
"We want to try to allay any fears that the public might have, that it is not a safe vaccine. It is a safe vaccine. We have made sure that this is so; it is registered and licensed by the FDA in the USA, also certified by the World Health Organization, and is used in many countries around the world. We are not the first country that is using this vaccine," Ferdinand insisted.
She said too that a town hall and parent-teacher associations meeting would be held on December 18 to deal with the new vaccine.
The senior medical officer also stated that third formers' parents would be invited during the first week or two in January to meet with staff at their particular schools to discuss the matter. Ferdinand also announced that Barbados had recently won the FAO Immunization Shield For Surveillance.
"We received that last week at a meeting in Jamaica that I
attended. Every year, the shield moves around the region for the country for the best work done in EPI surveillance; and I am happy to say we won that last year and this year," she added. (EJ)

Before I had my daughter, I loved cooking. If it two hours to make Beef Bourguignon, I dove right in and didn't care if it meant I would be eating at 8 or 9pm. After giving birth, I absolutely hated the chore of finding a recipe to make, buying the ingredients and then having to cook it myself. My husband and I did a marathon Friday night of slow cooker freezer meals a month before I was due. Dude, slow cooker freezer meals suck. Everything comes out the same texture and it got boring fast. For months after the birth of our daughter we ate good take out and bad fast food, we ate so many sandwiches, bowls of cereal and eggs for more than one meal a day. I remember loving the process of making a meal and how it had suddenly turned into a chore, I wanted to get that little joy back. I tried doing all my meal prep on a Sunday - I hated devoting my Sunday afternoon to chopping and portioning. I tried using a subscription meal delivery service and felt really guilty about all the "recyclable" containers I threw away because my city doesn't recycle those specialty containers. I tried paying for an app that did the meal planning for me. All I had to do was plug in how many people to cook for, our dietary preferences and I had recipes and a shopping list. That worked the best out of all the methods but I didn't dig the idea of paying for a meal planning service - we could be using that money for the college fund or repairing the fence.
Now my daughter is over a year old. She's in preschool a couple of days a week so it's much more feasible to suck it up and put some elbow grease into my own meal planning. I was inspired by this post about meal planning on index cards. I didn't want to handwrite a bunch of recipes out so I took the same concept and made it into a Google Doc.
How I did it:
1. I made a Meal Planning folder that I share with my husband.
2. Then I create a Google Doc for each month. I picked a number of meals that's realistic for me to cook during the week (4).
3. I copied and pasted links to my favorite recipes - this is a great way to organize recipes you save on Pinterest.
4. Type out a shopping list and boom - you have a list you can print and take to the grocery store.
5. Come up with 2 or 3 months of recipes and cut and paste different weeks into the following months.
This system has brought back my love for cooking. I'm no longer scrambling to find something to make an hour before dinner time. I'm making meals that I love and have cut back significantly on eating out. Most importantly, I'm able to cook nutritious meals again, with my daughter by my side.
Other tricks I've used to stream line dinner time:
- I gave in and bought an Instant Pot. It really is as bad ass as people say it is. There is a learning curve. Expect your first few ventures into pressure cooking to not be "instant".
- Choose recipes that have repeat ingredients. For example, slow cooker meatballs and beef enchiladas both require meat - so that's one protein for 2 meals.
- Buy pre-minced jarred garlic and ginger.
- Buy frozen veggies that can be heated in the bag or a bowl. Again, another thing you don't have to clean and chop.
The most important lesson I've learned from cooking dinner with a toddler is, don't bank on the estimated hands on time in a recipe. With all the toddler entertaining and snack-making I have to do, I add on at least 30 minutes to a recipe's time estimate!

Review: New Adventures in Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake at Sadler's Wells
Matthew Bourne's annual occupation of Sadler's Wells for the Christmas Season continues unabated with yet another revival of his 'Swan Lake', first performed in 1995. The tumultuous standing ovation it received on this opening night would suggest that his masterpiece is still as fresh as ever after all these years.
One obvious reason for this regular renewal of its energy is the turnover of main cast bringing new interpretations to familiar characters. As the male alter-ego of Odette/Odile, Thomas Whitehead – on loan from the Royal Ballet – had a rare opportunity to shine in a Principal role. He brought strong classicism to the Swan's arm and upper body movement, achieving powerful grace and nobility and the very image of a huge wingspan that had attracted Bourne to adapt Tchaikovsky's music to a male swan in the first place. The pathos of his silent scream on discovering the broken body of the Prince at the ballet's end could not have been more poignant. Whitehead's sabbatical should be more than just an exciting interlude between the occasional nondescript solo at Covent Garden and I hope that it proves to be a career-changing smart move.
The feebleness of the Prince's pathetic, oedipal descent into madness was splashed on with a very big brush in Matthew Hart's portrayal. This lack of subtlety eradicated any sympathy one should have felt for the poor young man which unduly affected the narrative balance of this performance. Comic book caricature is inherent to the ballets made by Bourne and his design guru, Lez Brotherston, but it still needs some light and shade to bring the characters alive: Hart is a very fine performer and I hope that he finds a better balance in the weeks to come. I was also disappointed in the diluted menace of the sinister Private Secretary, played very unthreateningly by Alan Vincent (who will also share the main role with Whitehead during this Season). By contrast the glowing performances of the night came from Saranne Curtin as the Queen, looking as if she had just stepped from the set of 'Roman Holiday' (William Wyler, 1953) in a collection of sumptuous vintage gowns; and some great comedy timing from Nina Goldman as the Prince's Girlfriend.
The power of this work comes from the image of the male swans (a concept of such strength that people still mistakenly call this the all-male Swan Lake) coupled with the striking impact of Brotherston's fantastic designs. The effectiveness of the design quality is undiminished and never more so that in the scene where the mad Prince is confronted by the giant shadow of his mother (a concept laden with the imagery of Snow White's evil step-mother) followed by a menacing line of plastic-faced psychiatric nurses. It is classic early Hitchcock. Another image borrowed from Hitchcock is the savagery of the swans' attack on the Prince which comes straight from The Birds. Unfortunately, it's here that I find this revival the least satisfying since the swans no longer seem to have the raw power that was once so compelling. Is it a case of over-familiarity or is the flock of swans looking a little more like a tired gaggle of geese as the years go by?

Pioneering effort to detect Ebola
Novel process uses a plant virus and may ultimately make Ebola testing more accurate
According to the World Health Organization, the Ebola outbreak that started in West Africa in 2014 has sickened nearly 30,000 people, killing about one third of them. Detection of the Ebola virus is currently the only way to keep the disease from spreading.
In the past, Ebola diagnostic tests, or assays, have been considered reliable only up to a point. The Ebola virus doesn't use DNA to store its genetic code. It uses a chemical cousin, called RNA, and extracted RNA degrades easily; one little mistake at the start of a test can ruin the whole thing.
With support from a National Science Foundation (NSF) Rapid Response Research grant, biomedical engineer Nicole Steinmetz has teamed up with breast cancer researcher Ruth Keri to pioneer a novel process that could ultimately make detection of Ebola much more accurate.
While neither of the Case Western Reserve University researchers has worked with Ebola before, both are experts at developing diagnostic tests for diseases. In this case, they are using the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) to make what's called a "positive control" for Ebola tests. The goal is to reduce the number of "false negative" results. The researchers are also working to make a simple diagnostic test for use in the field.
"Nanomanufacturing research generates a range of 'platform' nanoscale manufacturing technologies, and in this case, biological species such as virus, DNA and proteins are used as platforms to fabricate novel nanoscale materials and structures, and to integrate them into nano-enabled devices and systems, such as Ebola diagnostics," explains Khershed Cooper, program director for nanomanufacturing and scalable nanomanufacturing in the NSF Engineering Directorate's Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation. "We call it bio-inspired nanomanufacturing. Professor Steinmetz's research falls under this paradigm--her 'bioengineered virus' is an outcome of bio-inspired nanomanufacturing."
This project is part of a set of NSF research projects related to Ebola.
Research in this episode was supported by NSF award #1509232, RAPID: Improved Detection of Ebola Through Nanomanufacturing of Bio-Inspired Diagnostics. RAPID is short for Rapid Response Research grants.

Last time, I invoked Henry David Thoreau — "Simplify, simplify!" — to buttress my contention that the best design choice is usually the simplest one that does the job. Yet things appear to be going in the other direction. Following are some currently popular design choices that needlessly complicate our homes:
Glass shower enclosures have become the default standard in bathrooms these days, showing up in every trendoid design magazine, invariably looking dazzling and pristine. Such adoring coverage might lead you to believe that shower curtains don't even exist anymore.
What's wrong with glass enclosures? First off, compared to the alternative — our old friend, the shower curtain — they're astronomically expensive. They're also a real headache to maintain, since those crystal-clear panes require constant cleaning to maintain that coveted magazine-spread sparkle. Lastly, they unnecessarily clutter up what is already a modestly sized room.
A $10 shower curtain, on the other hand, stops water just as well and can be drawn back to virtually disappear from the scene. Nor is there any slavish daily cleaning required — when a shower curtain gets objectionably scuzzy, you can simply replace it and recycle the old one as a drop cloth.
Kitchens are another nexus of bad or impractical choices made for fashion reasons. Let's start with all those cabinet doors: Cabinet manufacturers delight in whipping up showroom kitchens with a plethora of doors: big doors, little doors, narrow doors, glass doors — and with good reason: the more doors, the more profitable the order.

Benchmarks – if it didn't have so many letters, we would call it a four-letter-word. Some people live and die by benchmarks and the vast majority could care less as long as their device runs fast and smooth. The thirst for benchmarks may be driven by techie websites that, much like scientists, demand proof – finite numbers – they will not settle for "fast and smooth," they must have numerical confirmation. Whenever a manufacturer knows that their potential customers may be looking at these numbers, there could be a tendency for them to "fudge" their numbers somewhat – and that is exactly what Samsung was accused of doing with their Galaxy Note 3 benchmarks.
We did an article the first of October, where Samsung defended their testing procedures and it is not like they overclocked the processor – they simply ran the tests with the processor running at their advertised specifications. So did they fudge the truth or were the well-respected test sites, like Ars Technica or Anandtech lying? We may never know the entire truth, but GameBench ran some of their own tests between the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One to try and get to the truth, and Engadget shared them with us.
From what our friends at Engadget are saying, "there is growing evidence" that not only Samsung, but also other Android phone manufacturers may also bend the truth. In most cases, it involves programming a device into ramping up its performance if it detects that a benchmark test has been launched. GameBench claims that they have developed an "uncheatable" performance tests, and though in beta, they performed some tests on the Galaxy S4 and HTC One, and it seems as though Samsung really did not have anything to worry about.
Rather than simply running predictable benchmarks, GameBench took the approach of actually running a genuine game and recording results as their app runs in the background. By doing this, BenchMark is able to look at and measure the median frame rate, frames-per-second (FPS), and the battery drain, in real world operations. Here they tested the Galaxy S4 and HTC One using four games, and claim you would never get these kind of results using a standard GFXBench benchmark tests.
Above you can see that the Galaxy S4 ran the games "much smoother," but at a higher battery drain, which sometimes is a necessary trade-off. What good does it do to save your battery from draining, if the game you are playing is choppy?
The moral of this article is not to rely strictly on standard benchmark tests that cannot show how the device will work when actually playing a game. The GameBench app should be ready in early 2014 and may help take some of the mystery out of benchmarks. Let us know in the comments of on Google+ what you think about all of these tests – do you follow benchmarks closely, or go by how your device operates for you.

Egypt's ire turns to confidant of Mubarak's sonby Kareem Fahim, Michael Slackman and David Rohde
CAIRO — As Egyptians turned their anger on symbols of the state late last month, torching police stations along with the headquarters of President Hosni Mubarak's ruling party, they reserved a special hatred for a garish building with black tinted windows in an upscale neighborhood, setting fire to it three times.

Alonso makes sure there are no on-track doubts
Fernando Alonso's explanation of his F1 testing crash posed as many questions as it answered. But on-track, says BEN ANDERSON, the Spaniard removed any sense of doubt in Malaysia
Whatever your views on the 'inconsistencies' between McLaren's and Fernando Alonso's versions of the events surrounding the crash that caused the Spaniard to miss the start of the 2015 season, there can be no doubt the Spaniard's first day back behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car proves he has lost none of his prodigious ability.
The double F1 world champion completed 45 "trouble-free" laps behind the wheel of the Honda-powered MP4-30, and outpaced his team-mate Jenson Button in both of Friday's free-practice sessions for the Malaysian Grand Prix.

High School Sports
Mike Fields: Tough road ahead for unbeatens Ballard, J-town
No. 1 Ballard and No. 2 Jeffersontown still sport perfect records as we fast-break into 2011, but it's still too early to speculate about either team's chances of becoming the first undefeated boys' state basketball champion since Brewers in 1948.
Let's at least give Ballard (15-0) and J-town (13-0) a couple more weeks of tough competition before we start speculating about crowning an unbeaten hoops king for the first time in 63 years.
J-town plays No. 3 Eastern on Friday night at Bellarmine in a rematch of the King of the Bluegrass finals won by the Chargers. Next week Ballard and J-town must fight through the Louisville Invitational Tournament. They could meet up in the finals, but getting there won't be easy. The semifinals could feature Ballard vs. Trinity, and J-town vs. Eastern.
Ballard also has upcoming dates with J-town (Jan. 21) and Eastern (Feb. 11).
History tells us the greatest teams can fall at least once on the long trek to a state title. Ashland's 1961 Tomcats (36-1) lost to Lafayette midway through the season. Seneca's 1963 Redskins (31-1) were upset by Carr Creek in the LIT finals. Central's 1969 Yellowjackets (35-1) lost to Shawnee in early December. Lafayette's 1979 Generals (36-1) made it through the regular season unscathed, but fell to Tates Creek in the district finals.
Dixie Heights (11-0) and John Hardin (11-0) are also still unbeaten, but it's hard to imagine either of them staying perfect.
There are three girls' teams still unbeaten: Campbell County (12-0), Hopkinsville (9-0) and J-town (12-0). Kentucky hasn't had an undefeated girls' champ since Marshall County in 1984.
■ Owensboro Catholic sophomore Becca Greenwell leads the state in scoring with a 36-point average. She already has 2,147 career points and is closing in on the school scoring record of 2,254 points set by Kris Miller, Miss Basketball in 1986. Greenwell broke Miller's single-game record of 48 points when she had 49 points, 17 rebounds, 12 steals and six assists in a win over Dayton Dunbar in Lexington Catholic's holiday tournament. "Becca has played unbelievable so far this season, considering most teams usually guard her with two people," Lady Aces Coach Ray Zuberer said. Greenwell is also averaging 12.6 rebounds, 4.2 steals and 3.7 assists.
■ Wolfe County's Sawyer Denniston had 52 points in a 73-69 win over Menifee County on Tuesday night. The 6-3 junior guard was 20-for-26 from the field and 11-for-15 from the foul line. He also had 13 rebounds. "It was a fun performance to watch," Coach Robert Scott Creech said. Denniston is averaging 24.5 points and 7.7 rebounds.
■ Pike County Central senior guard Hobo McCoy — what a great name! — is averaging 30.4 points. He's hit 37 of 77 three-pointers (48 percent) and 81 of 99 free throws (82 percent). McCoy has signed with Pikeville College. He and freshman Dylan Meade, who's averaging 17 points, have helped the Hawks win five in a row after they started the season with five consecutive losses. "Great kids and excellent students," Pike Central first-year coach Kelly Carwile said of the duo.
■ Three days after helping Newport Central Catholic win the Class 2A football championship, Jake Giesler was practicing basketball with the Thoroughbreds. The 6-7, 245-pound senior all-state lineman could play college football, but NewCath hoops coach Grant Brannen said basketball is Giesler's "true passion." It's showing in Giesler's recent play. He's helped NewCath to five wins in a row by averaging 22 points, 15 rebounds, four blocks and three assists. "Not bad for a kid who just got back from football a month ago," Brannen said.
■ Scott County's Billy Hicks became the third winningest high school boys' basketball coach in state history last week. He tied former Clay County Coach Bobby Keith for third place on the all-time list with 767 victories when Scott County beat, yep, Clay County, in the semifinals of the Cumberland Falls Invitational. "That was an odd coincidence," Hicks said. The next night Hicks got No. 768 against host Corbin, where he used to coach. "Who would've ever thought it'd happen that way?" Hicks said. William Kean set the state record with 856 victories at Louisville Central. Russell Williamson of Inez won 793 games.
■ After playing fourth fiddle to Scott County all-staters Chad Jackson, Ge-Lawn Guyn and Dakotah Euton the last couple years, Tamron Manning is getting his chance to shine. Manning had 202 points in 36 games last season. The 6-4 junior already has 205 points in 12 games this season. His scoring average has jumped from 5.6 to 17.1. After taking (and missing) only two three-pointers as a sophomore, he's 18-for-52 from long range this season. "It's weird," Manning said. "It seems like just yesterday I was an eighth-grader learning from everybody. Now I'm the older guy, teaching and showing everybody where they need to be."
■ Henry Clay's boys play host to Lexington Catholic in the Dunkin' Donuts National Shootout on Saturday. It will be their first regular-season meeting since the Knights beat Henry Clay on Nov. 30, 1993. They've played only twice since, both times in the region tournament. The Devils beat Lexington Catholic in the 2003 region semifinals. The Knights beat Henry Clay in the first round of the 2009 region. Saturday's schedule has Lincoln County playing Wolfe County at 5, followed by Henry Clay and Lexington Catholic at 6:30. The nightcap has Jeffersontown, No. 19 in USA Today's national ratings, taking on Cincinnati Roger Bacon at 8.
■ Kentucky high school basketball lost one of its most accomplished — and one of its nicest — people when Warren Cooper died last month. He was 90. Mr. Cooper, who described himself as an "old farm boy" from Bracken County, played, coached and refereed in the Sweet Sixteen. He starred on Brooksville's 1939 state title team and went on to have an All-America career at Morehead State. He coached Dilce Combs to the 1954 state tournament, and coached Morehead High for 14 years. Mr. Cooper refereed in the Sweet Sixteen four times. After retiring, Mr. Cooper was a fixture at high school games and attended more than 50 consecutive state tournaments. Donations can be made to the Warren H. Cooper Basketball Scholarship Fund, Rowan County Superintendent's Office, 121 E. Second St., Morehead, KY., 40351.
■ Hillary Moore of Leslie County, who averaged 30 points last year, isn't far off that number this season. The 5-7 senior is averaging 26.4 points and 8.0 rebounds, and has hit 110 of 124 free throws (89 percent).
■ Clinton County's Stevi Morgan, a 5-10 senior, averaged 27 points and 13 rebounds in the girls' Caveland Classic at Edmonson County. "She has the heart of a lion," Coach Carter Adams said of Morgan, who's averaging 15.5 points and 12.6 rebounds. "I feel she's one of the best players in the state that doesn't get the hype she deserves," Adams said.
■ West Carter's Kristen Perry got her 1,000th career point over the holidays. The daughter of former Lady Comets coach Von Perry, Kristen joined her sister, Leigh Audra Perry, and her aunt, Annette Messer, in the 1,000-point club.
■ Bowling Green star Chane Behanan had a triple-double (21 points, 12 assists, 10 rebounds) in a rout of Barren County this week.
■ Fleming County freshman Darion Burns made the all-tournament team after scoring 106 points in four games in the Sandestin Hilton Blowout in Freeport, Fla.
■ Lafayette's All-City kicker Matt Green has committed to play college football at Oklahoma State. Green had eight field goals and converted 65 of 79 extra points in his career with the Generals.
■ Highlands junior QB Patrick Towles, who has led the Bluebirds to Class 5A state titles the last two years, has a scholarship offer from Louisville, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
■ Former Male star Michael Bush enhanced his status as an NFL free agent last Sunday by rushing 25 times for 137 yards and the go-ahead TD, and catching four passes for 34 yards in the Oakland Raiders' win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
■ Boyle County star linebacker Lamar Dawson, Mr. Football, will play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio on Saturday. It will be televised by NBC at 1 p.m.
■ Paris High School lost a longtime supporter when W.B. Stiles died a few weeks ago. Mr. Stiles was a scorekeeper for the Greyhounds football and basketball programs for three decades. His daughters Cathy and Dee Dee were part of the Lady Greyhounds' powerhouse basketball teams in the late 1970s and early '80s, and his son Kevin was part of Paris state title teams in football and track in the 1980s. Mr. Stiles' wife Audrey was a teacher at Paris.
■ Lafayette's wrestling team had a successful Christmas break. The Generals won the Region 7 super-duals with an 11-0 record, and were runners-up in the Giant 16 tournament in Indianapolis. Luke Rearic (103 pounds), Will Bryant (119), Jimmy Lacy (125) and Sam Bryant (189) each has lost only one match this season. Camden Hanley (112), Shamon Brown (215) and Bruce Robinson (285) have also wrestled well for Lafayette.

2265 - Precast Prestressed Concrete Pavement to Abate Settlement Problems Under Bridge Approach Slabs
The problems encountered in bridge approach embankments have often been found to be due to settlement caused by poor compaction of the soil behind the abutments, expansion of the soil behind the abutment or settlement of the soft soil underlying the embankment. Failure of bridge deck approach slabs have also been due to shoving from the adjacent pavement structure causing slope failure of the surrounding fill areas. Malfunctions associated with transition joints between the slab and the adjacent structure are also a major concern. Although several measures have been attempted, some more extreme than others, the settlement problem seems to persist. Three objectives are identified for this project: (1) the development of construction specifications and design guidelines for the use of Precast Pre-tensioned Concrete Pavement (PPCP) approach slabs, (2) the development of construction specifications and design guidelines for the use of soil columns and similar technologies to strengthen and reinforcement approach slab fills and embankments and (3) the development of guidelines to monitor and maintain polyester polymer concrete (PPC) pavements as approach slab structures. Guidelines for PPCP approach slabs will address the details of design including slab thickness, joint stiffness, subbase strength, required prestressing and thickness, and joint sealant requirements among other aspects of the design. Guidelines for soil columns and similar technologies will consider the characteristics of the fill materials, such as moisture, density, size distribution, type and other pertinent properties in which to make them less susceptible to consolidation will be addressed.

14 Aug So what can Underwriters Dust The Home loan Underwriting Technique?
Just about the most important parts of the personal loan origination process is home finance loan underwriting. The process is completed by underwriters. The job heading could very well be referred to by announcing that the main insurance underwriter would analysis the very credit with the client and towards make sure that the customer meets each of the terms and the conditions with the loan they have applied to get. They even get the portion of the mortgage underwriting process the someone is required to look in the their market value of any kind of properties. Apparently, the mortgage loan underwriting approach can be to some degree challenging nevertheless authorities specifically the best way to do it right. Difficulty With the help of Them Because of the complications which really can be expected while in the mortgage underwriting process, the underwriters can be some involving the ideal compensated staff in the industry. In order to a small business owner of some finance corporation, which will suggest a substantial investment which often occasionally is just not promptly available. If you would like hire many underwriters, then it can certainly be extremely difficult to carry out so. Explanation the the mortgage underwriting procedure is today being outsourced somewhat more since a manner to resolve the difficulties a smallish corporation may have with paying for with regard to new employees. Differences Involving Internal And External Underwriters There tend to be never the fact that many dissimilarities that you actually can look for when that comes to be able to volume underwriters and even external underwriters. Typically the one important difference is the mortgage underwriting process is done in some rural spot once you employ alternative underwriters. To be able to just for the alternative underwriter to come to the same spot since you simply because they can connect all their whole tasks with a distance. Firms that do house loan underwriting are very careful with whom these people hire because they need for you to work with only the ideal to help keep shoppers, in this specific case anyone, satisfied. Comparison Of Docs Underwriters normally takes the examination of records in the home loan underwriting practice on order for you to get a loan approved or possibly rejected. Typically the processing department in those companies definitely will require all the documentation as you possibly can in purchase to obtain often the mortgage loan permitted or simply discarded. Typically the article on typically the records while well like the info provided simply by the actual patient is certainly an item that typically the underwriter normally takes on. Though the job can be tedious, they are able to usually undertake it quickly and possess an solution concerning benchmarks with more speed rather than volume underwriters. The very underwriters will probably critique every single app in which comes in. Reducing expenses External the mortgage underwriting progression specialists might help your mortgage company cut numerous costs. That may be one substantial plus, especially when you include a innovative company and also are trying to widen. The good news is certainly that employing one for these companies is an file format actually because you are hiring not necessarily just one individual, but a good team of professionals. Having obtain to a lot more mortgage underwriters allows people to have more loans okayed. Eventually the sheer numbers of loans are certain to get so substantial that you will have so that you can extend. Saving money now could be a fantastic way of money on the. Study more:

Title: Switching and growth for microbial populations in catastrophic responsive environments
(Submitted on 10 Aug 2009 (v1), last revised 12 Apr 2010 (this version, v2))
Abstract: Phase variation, or stochastic switching between alternative states of gene expression, is common among microbes, and may be important in coping with changing environments. We use a theoretical model to assess whether such switching is a good strategy for growth in environments with occasional catastrophic events. We find that switching can be advantageous, but only when the environment is responsive to the microbial population. In our model, microbes switch randomly between two phenotypic states, with different growth rates. The environment undergoes sudden "catastrophes", the probability of which depends on the composition of the population. We derive a simple analytical result for the population growth rate. For a responsive environment, two alternative strategies emerge. In the "no switching" strategy, the population maximises its instantaneous growth rate, regardless of catastrophes. In the "switching" strategy, the microbial switching rate is tuned to minimise the environmental response. Which of these strategies is most favourable depends on the parameters of the model. Previous studies have shown that microbial switching can be favourable when the environment changes in an unresponsive fashion between several states. Here, we demonstrate an alternative role for phase variation in allowing microbes to maximise their growth in catastrophic responsive environments.

The weight of expectation will weigh heavy on hosts Gabon as they open their 2017 African Nations Cup Group A campaign against minnows Guinea-Bissau at the Stade de l'Amitié in Libreville on Saturday (16h00 GMT).
Gabon's passionate fans will expect at least a quarterfinal place this year on home soil and with much tougher, on paper at least, tasks ahead against Cameroon and Burkina Faso, this is a must-win for Les Panthères.
But Guinea-Bissau have shown in the last 12 months or so that they are no pushovers and their qualification for the finals no fluke either with a host of new names cherry-picked from the leagues of Europe.
Gabon only appointed Spanish coach José Antonio Camacho some 43 days before the start of the tournament in what has been a typically chaotic build-up, not made any easier by the volatile political scene in the country.
Many of their hopes rest on the shoulders of captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is in the form of his life for German Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund.
"He's the best player in Africa and one of the best in the world," Camacho told reporters. "But without the team, he can not score goals."
Veteran goalkeeper Didier Ovono, Sunderland midfielder Didier Ndong and Juventus star Mario Lemina are others who can turn the tide in their favour.
The Spanish coach is not too concerned with his limited time leading the side and says he knows how to get the best out of players at major championships. The Nations Cup, he contends, is no different to any other international tournament.
"I have experience as player and coach. I have participated in major competitions like the World Cup or the European Championship, and I have always followed the African Nations Cup," he said.
"Football is universal. Ninety-nine or even 100 percent of the players in Gabon [national side] play in Europe and worldwide. Most players of the other teams are in the same situation. This is no longer African football, it's international football."
Guinea-Bissau will be something of an unknown quantity given how their side has evolved in the past year with so many new players.
They are likely to be competitive but limited as an attacking threat and for Gabon the difficulty may come in breaking them down.
Known as 'Djurtus' [Wild Dogs], the team is made up of journeyman footballers with a lot to prove and captain Bruno Fernandes believes they can spring a surprise against Gabon.
"The pressure is really on them, so why not?" Fernandes says. "It takes the weight off our team's shoulders. If Gabon go a oal down you can only imagine the kind of game it will turn into. Everything feels possible for us right now."

Max Jacob was a man of many faces: a Jew converted to Catholicism, a writer who wrote about his visions of the Saviour in all seriousness while simultaneously producing parodies with venomous wit, a mystic, and a clown. He lived in Paris amidst famous artists and writers, only to withdraw to a monastery afterwards. He occupied himself with cabbala and Bible explication, and wrote a collection of Breton songs under the name Morven de Gallique. He worked as an art critic under the pseudonym Léon David, while also working as a piano teacher and store clerk. He was subversive, theatrical, comical, unhappy and distinctly inimitable.
Organised chaos
His work is equally full of contrasts. Deep thoughts and witticisms, prose and poetry, mysticism and triviality all come together in it. Jacob's most frequently read, most important work is Le cornet à dés from 1917, a collection of 300 prose poems written by Jacob between 1903 and 1910. The pun-filled poems can be considered a form of organised chaos, systematic coincidence, similar to roulette or dice- which is why the title refers to the cup used to shake the dice. According to the author, the composition of this collection is as random as the results of a game of dice.
Colour wood-engravings
This reference to games is also programmatic: the poet juggling with language. Le cornet à dés cannot be placed within a single movement: there is a surrealist influence, it refers to cubism, and many saw similarities with the work of Apollinaire. The collection is certainly innovative and experimental. Max Jacob's preface 'Préface de l'édition de 1916', in which he introduced the concept 'situation', became almost as famous as the poems themselves.
In 1948- Max Jacob had died of pneumonia in concentration camp Drancy during World War II - Gallimard published a new edition of Le cornet à dés. Taking 130 gouaches by Jean Hugo as their point of departure, Jules Germain, Robert Armanelli and André Marliat produced colour wood-engravings. Jean Hugo, husband of Valentine Gross and great-grandson of Victor Hugo, had studied literature, but taught himself how to paint, and worked as an artist. His work, which is often described as 'naïve', brings to mind that of another autodidact: Henri Rousseau le Douanier. But there is clearly also a surrealistic influence. Hugo seems to have inherited a predilection towards romance and fairy tales from his famous ancestor. He also produced costumes and sets, and illustrated about one hundred books.
Book illustration was more than a side activity for Jean Hugo: it was his passion. He placed himself in an age-old tradition of book illustrators, most of whom toiled anonymously over their drudgery. His illustrations are therefore strongly reminiscent of old-fashioned miniatures: small, carefully produced, bright pictures that are placed between the texts. Most of his work as an illustrator was done on books by his friends, so that they could discuss the way the book would be produced together. In this fashion, he also created illustrations for works by Pierre-André Benoit, Cocteau, Radiguet and Maurois.
Jean Hugo also knew Max Jacob, if only professionally: they would run into each other at exhibitions. In 1947 Hugo produced two paintings that referred to Max Jacob: 'The House of Mme Persillard where Max Lived 15 VIII' and 'Rue Max-Jacob at St. Benoit, 1947'. In a number of ways, Jacob and Hugo could be considered each other's opposite: Hugo broke with religion, while Jacob converted; Jacob's art is systematic, while that of Hugo is personal. But in spite of their different ideas about art, this edition of Le cornet à dés is extremely harmonious.

Approach Considerations
As in any dementia evaluation, initial workup includes a vitamin B-12 level, thyroid function studies, antinuclear antibodies, [15] and, possibly, fluorescent treponemal antibody testing for syphilis. The American Academy of Neurology, in their practice guidelines for the evaluation of dementia, indicates that the incidence of syphilis as a cause of dementia is so low in the typical American patient that routine screening for syphilis is not necessary. [22] However, the index of suspicion should be high in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and in patients from geographic regions where the prevalence of syphilis is high.
If prominent inattention is observed, the patient may have a toxic and/or metabolic encephalopathy rather than a true dementia. In such patients, obtain a urine toxicology screen, serum chemistry panel, complete blood count (CBC) and differential count, liver function tests, ammonia level, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
If the patient has parkinsonism or a movement disorder, the following tests can be added:
Ceruloplasmin (serum) and serum or urinary copper to exclude Wilson disease
Manual peripheral blood smear for acanthocytes
Genetic testing - Not commercially available for screening for mutations associated with frontotemporal dementias, but genetic testing may be obtained from research laboratories.
Second-line workup
A second-line workup includes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination (for chronic meningitis or elevated pressure) and HIV serology. As Alzheimer disease is almost always in the differential diagnosis, CSF analysis for Abeta1-42 may be indicated.
If prominent inattention is present, obtain a metastatic cancer workup, electroencephalogram (EEG), and Lyme disease serology. Consider consultation with a social worker, geriatric case manager, or nurse practitioner.
Third-line workup
A third-line workup includes the following:
Evaluation by a neuropsychologist, behavioral neurologist, or neuropsychiatrist
Consideration and discussion of genetic counseling and testing if a familial syndrome is suspected-- excellent information is available at Association for FTD
Consideration of a brain biopsy in very select patients
CT Scanning, MRI, and PET Scanning
Brain CT scanning and MRI
Order a computed tomography (CT) scan if magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is contraindicated in the patient (eg, if the patient has a pacemaker or metallic ocular implants).
If not contraindicated, an MRI scan is preferred. Metastatic lesions and subcortical infarction (eg, caudate, thalamic) can easily be missed on a CT scan. Frontal lobe atrophy out of proportion to atrophy in other brain regions can sometimes be detected. Some patients with frontotemporal dementia may have increased T2 signal in frontal lobe white matter, especially on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences. [10]
Functional brain and physiologic imaging
Functional brain imaging, eg, with single-photon emission CT (SPECT) scanning, or physiologic imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) scanning may be appropriate in some patients.
In some patients with relatively isolated social-behavioral dysfunction, employers or others may require evidence of a medical disorder. Such patients may appear cognitively normal on objective neuropsychological tests, yet may be unable to function due to acquired brain disease. A SPECT scan may demonstrate relative hypometabolism in frontal and temporal areas (when other neuroimaging is normal), thus providing evidence of brain dysfunction.
Lumbar Puncture
Lumbar puncture (CSF examination) may be appropriate. Some memory disorder specialists perform this examination in every patient with frontal lobe or atypical dementia.
Check pressure, cultures, cryptococcal antigen, and large-volume tap for cytology or acid-fast bacillus (AFB) if the clinical situation warrants such testing. Elevated levels of phosphorylated tau protein and low levels of Abeta1-42 are found in the CSF of patients with Alzheimer disease. Data on levels of tau and beta-amyloid in CSF from patients with frontotemporal dementias has been inconsistent. [23, 24]
Markers for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, central nervous system (CNS) Whipple disease, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, and herpes encephalitis also can be ordered from the spinal fluid.
After diagnostic lumbar puncture, some patients with Pick disease and cerebral atrophy can develop a subdural hematoma.
Observe the patient for headache or change in mental status for several days after this procedure (some physicians admit the patient for 23 h observation). If a subdural hematoma is suspected, perform a CT scan with and without contrast or an MRI scan with contrast.
Brain Biopsy
Brain biopsy may be considered in exceptional circumstances if the diagnosis is in doubt and use of a treatment depends on the results. Occasionally, spinal fluid markers can obviate the need for a brain biopsy, even in these patients. Some of the factors mitigating for a brain biopsy include the following:
If the diagnosis is in doubt (eg, faced with second- or third-line autoimmune therapy for neurosarcoidosis)
If a familial frontotemporal dementia is suspected
If the family desires
If a treatment that has significant adverse effects is being considered
Histologic findings
Neuropathological analysis involves inspecting the morphology of neuronal or glial inclusions and their anatomical distribution. In the future, it may be important to detect FTD-tau pathology in order to administer tau-directed therapeutics. However, since FTLD-TDP is more common (about half the cases), histologic analysis is not projected to result in specific clinical decisions for most patients. Almost all cases of FTLD can be categorized as one of the above categories (FTLD-tau and FTLD-TDP) or to the molecular subgroup FTLD-FUS.

I never had thought about a storage container for my toilet paper until my dog started eating toilet paper.
We had to take it off of the roll holder because if the bathroom door was left open she would eat it straight off the roll. Don't worry, we've talked to our vet to make sure the dog is okay, but we definitely needed a different solution to hold our toilet paper.
I scoured pinterest for toilet paper storage that would work for us and I found a ton of different storage made from oatmeal containers! I should have thought of that myself since I did make a headband holder for Summer's bedroom out of one a long time ago!
I ran to Walmart to grab our favorite Quilted Northern® Ultra Soft & Strong® with Cleanstretch (9 Mega Rolls). It was easy to find and I was in and out in a jiff!
The Quilted Northern® Ultra Soft & Strong® with Cleanstretch mega pack offers the opportunity to keep your home fully stocked and organized at all times so that you're always ready for sudden guests or last minute get-togethers.
Because who wants to run out of toilet paper? Not me!
When I came home I grabbed out a few supplies. Luckily, I already had most everything. An empty oatmeal container, hot glue gun/glue sticks and some twine. You could definitely use other kinds of twine. I just used this kind because I have used it to make other things in my house and that way they all go together. Also, I used scrapbook paper to make flowers.
I started by placing a dot of hot glue onto the oatmeal container and placing the twine end piece onto that hot glue dot. Then I just start wrapping around. I don't glue every time because it is unnecessary. I probably do a glue dot about every 10-15 times that I wrap it around.
Just keep your twine pulled tight so that you don't end up with gaps.
When you get down to the very end I DO recommend putting a glue strip all the way around. However, you don't want to do too much at a time because it will dry before you can get your twine on. Just do an inch or so, place the twine and then do another inch, etc.
Next I made some paper flowers using scrapbook paper. I just cut out a square and then cut the swirl until I got to the middle.
Start twisting, occasionally putting dots of the hot glue to keep the flower rolled up.
And there you go! Looks at that fun flower! And just think of all the fun flowers you really could make.
Then I cut out a couple of "leaves" to add to it.
Then I used the hot glue one more time to put them onto the outside of the toilet paper storage container!
And that is all. I made this in about 20 minutes!
So now I have this awesome, yet discreet, toilet paper storage. And with the Mega roll being a 4X bigger roll (*than the regular rolls) I'm not worried about refilling the roll! Win, Win!
Now I have it setting on my bathroom counter within reach for us, but not for the dog!
The best bathroom experiences are the ones you don't remember. Quilted Northern® is designed so you can forget your bathroom experience.
Do you use the roll or do you have your own toilet paper storage?

Blogging for business
Editor's Note: The following is the third and final part in a Stamford Times' series exploring the many ways city residents log on and communicate.
By A.J. O'CONNELL
STAMFORD -- Meg Robustelli, the owner and voice behind http://www.fairfieldcountychild.com, started blogging last year. Like many other Stamford bloggers, the birth and childhood of her 20-month-old daughter prompted her foray into the blogosphere. But don't look for an account of the latest adorable thing her child has done on FairfieldCountyChild; Robustelli's blog is all business -- she lists local events and sales for children, hosts giveaways for parents, and tracks down child-friendly activities for local mothers who are looking for something to do with their kids.
"I think there's a stereotype that (blogging is) all about pouring out people's feelings and I don't think of it like that," said the 32-year-old Stamford resident.
She officially launched FairfieldCountyChild in November of 2007, after keeping her eye on some "Mommy blogs," like New York-based http://www.designmom.com, a blog about child fashion. Robustelli thought a hyper-local site with hard-to-find, seldom-reported events (upscale trunk shows for toddlers, for example) would be a good idea for the region.
"At the beginning, I really had to scrounge," said Robustelli, who last year begged friends to e-mail her with any interesting information they might hear. "(But) now, things are falling into my lap."
Robustelli, whose site now displays about 10 ads, is not phoning it in. She and her daughter go to the events, the sales and do many of the activities that she puts up on the blog; she says she wants to experience the things she's writing about. And, of course, the site also provides her with lots of things to do with her little girl.
"That's the beauty of it," she said. "I can bring her everywhere."
There are few sites, like Robustelli's, that stand out in the sea of personal and political weblogs. These are run by individuals are trying to make their sites into sources of income.
Chris Schoenfeld, 41, of http://www.stationstops.com, is one of these entrepreneurs. Schoenfeld is currently a full-time blogger now, but started Stationstops last year, when he was commuting regularly to New York City.
"When I moved to Greenwich in 2006, I had spent some time working a contract for a company in the city, and during that time experienced my first daily public transportation commute on Metro North," said Schoenfeld, a former Yahoo! engineer. "As someone who has worked on the web and with mobile devices for many years, I was surprised at how annoyingly difficult it was to look up Metro-North schedules on my phone, on the web, and even at the station. That's when I posted my own Metro-North schedules which are linked to from my blog."
The blog followed soon after, although, ironically, Schoenfeld -- who lives in Greenwich, but has been adopted by the Stamford blogging community -- stopped commuting. He freely admits that not all of his posts have to do with MetroNorth. This summer has seen a lot of posts about the new iPhone.
"On my blog, I focus on Metro-North and Stamford/Greenwich news, but I unapologetically drift off onto whatever else I want to write about, which often hits on my tech and gadget background," he said.
Author Sarah Darer Littman isn't trying to make money off her two blogs, http://saraclaradara.livejournal.com and http://saramerica.livejournal.com. However, it was a career change that prompted the Stamford native to begin blogging. When Littman, who now lives in Cos Cob, published her first book "Confessions of a Closet Catholic" with Dutton in 2005, she started her blog on Livejournal as an author.
But the 45-year-old didn't just blog about writing and her books; Littman is passionate about politics. A self-described "recovering Republican," Littman blogged unapologetically about her political opinions on her writing blog until a fellow author commented at a convention that she was "brave" to do so. Other authors were afraid to reveal their political opinions on their writing blogs because they didn't want to alienate potential readers. That gave Littman pause.
"I didn't want to not write about politics," she said. "So I made the decision to split the blogs."
In 2006, a year after she started SaraClaraDara, Littman launched Saramerica.
"I had a competition on my author blog to come up with the name for my new political blog, and a bookseller in California won a signed copy of my book 'Confessions of a Closet Catholic' for coming up with the name Saramerica, which I love," said Littman.
Littman was drawn into the circle of Stamford bloggers when Kevin McKeever of Always Home and Uncool at http:blogonkevin.blogspot.com contacted her. Since then, she's begun a writing group so that the local bloggers can explore other kinds of writing.
Schoenfeld says that he is enjoying the writing that comes with blogging. As a programmer, he rarely got into the publishing aspects of the Internet -- now he finds himself running out to the train tracks with a camera some days. Still, Stationstops remains a business experiment for him. Right now, he's getting about 1,000 unique visitors daily and is trying to build on that number.
"It takes a long time to grow," he said.

As much as I am saddened by the number my age carries (29), I take some comfort in knowing that I do NOT feel old, and if 30 signifies adulthood and a foot in the grave, I will NOT be 30 next year.
Yes,the swan song of my 20s has begun, I am officially 29. While the last digit and even the first digit may be close to the truth (I act like I am either 9, 19, or in my 20s), I cannot conceive those two digits together, and what it means in another 365 days.
There is a bit of good news. The first may not mean much to you, but my wife's favorite number is 29, so I've got that going for me. (OK, maybe it means something to you, if you are in the small percentage of people who has a fondness for numbers and gravitates towards a number that hockey goalies, running backs, or first basemen wear.)
Famous "29"s:
- Rod Carew – Only 29 retired in the AL – TWO teams (Twins and Angels)
- John Smoltz – Only 29 retired in NL (Braves)
- Martin Brodeur (I am a Patrick Roy fan, so this is a tough one to list)
- Ken Dryden
- Tony Esposito (OK, one year with the Canadiens, not exactly his retired #35)
- Marc-Andre Fleury
- Terry Sawchuk (Again, a one year thing, with the Red Wings, not exactly his retired #1)
Oh, I nearly forgot the big reason why my birthday isn't all bad. I get to give myself a great birthday present. In 4 days it is Opening Day, and not just that, the Twins actually get to spend Opening Day at home this year. Of course I will be there!! Happy birthday to me, indeed.
Lastly, I would be silly not to call out a fantastic blog post done by the great Paul. I was very honored to be a part of his Fans of Target Field post.
Here is the conversation we had:
I have said this before, both on this blog, on Twitter, and commenting on Paul's blog, but I will say it again, Paul is doing great things and chasing his dreams. Make sure you give him some support, check out his videos, read his blog, and try to hook up with him for a game. Wouldn't it be awesome to say that you knew the next Joe Buck?!
Well, that's enough self-reflection and self-centered-ness for one day. I'd like to thank my parents for making me, I'm glad that I was the swimmer that beat out my evil brother or sister to the egg – trust me, they were EVIL. Thanks to my wife for a great night of cupcakes (I love sugar and baked goods) and possibly Wreck It Ralph. Thank you, dear readers – it amazes me that I like to write, let alone people take their time to read what I write – THANK YOU.
PS – I have not forgotten about my massive blog. I just need some time to dedicate to the formatting photos and sitting in front of a computer screen.
PPS – A nice little ditty I like to play on my date of birth:

I remember going to New York for the first time and having a feeling of Déjà Vu like we'd been there before after seeing all the movies. How about Tiffany's?
I would need to go do a photoshoot! Will add to the list along with the Plaza Hotel from HOME ALONE 2!
Very cool! I've never actually visited New York City, but I feel like in some ways I know it even better than cities I've lived in just because I've seen so many movies and TV shows set there.
It seems like living there would be a little surreal since I'd be surrounded by places and sights and sounds I've come to associate with fiction. Is it like that at all for you?
Here's a great walking tour guide of movie sets in NY and what movies were filmed there. It is such a strange thing to walk up to a place you've never been and think wait, why do I feel like I've been here?
Isn't The Plaza Hotel one of the most famous movie locations of all time?
For anyone who's a fan of JESSICA JONES on Netflix, the below is Luke Cage's bar - it's a real bar on Avenue B right next to Tompkins Square Park.
The Glenfinnan Viaduct, where the Hogwarts Express travels from Harry Potter!
Here's the famous Plaza Hotel as of today, December 20, in NYC!
And for the ELF fans out there, I'm not seeing any Central Park Rangers in the below image I took today on December 20 here in NYC... but maybe I need to look more closely...

Last week Assad told Belarusian TV channel ONT that the Geneva talks were "merely a meeting for the media" and there had been "nothing substantial in all the Geneva meetings".
According to the mediator, who is holding separate meetings with the Government and opposition delegations, the talks would be focused on the four more-agreed issues by the sides during Geneva-V: the counter-terrorist battle, governance, elections and the Constitution.
Briefing journalists last week in Geneva, UN special envoy Staffan de Mistura stressed the "rather business-like, rather short" nature of the upcoming talks, expected to last just four days in order to "hit the iron while it's hot".
The Foreign Ministry said the allegations are a "new Hollywood plot" to justify USA intervention in Syria.
"We are extremely concerned that thousands of civilians continue to be held in government detention facilities and have grounds to believe that they are systematically subjected to cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment including torture and sexual violence", Dujarric said.
Numerous bodies are then burned in the crematorium "to cover up the extent of mass murders taking place", said Stuart Jones, the top US diplomat for the Middle East, accusing President Bashar Assad's government of sinking "to a new level of depravity".
Housing Minister Yoav Galant, a former general, said Tuesday: "As far as I am concerned it is time to assassinate Assad".
He said negotiations to end the six-year conflict needed to take place "without any rest, without any break".
Syrian activists meanwhile said government forces were escalating attacks on opposition-held areas protected under a recently brokered cease-fire agreement.
Assad, backed by Russian Federation and Iran, is keen on discussing "terrorism", a term he uses broadly to describe all adversaries.
The Observatory said two women were killed by rocket fire in a Damascus suburb and another was killed by aerial bombardment in Homs province.
The opposition has blasted these agreements as forced displacement, but the opposition said it was committed to seeing the negotiations through.
GENEVA (AP) - The Syrian opposition will seek an extension of the current round of United Nations -hosted peace talks underway in Geneva, saying Wednesday it needed more negotiating time.
"De Mistura has been working on it".
Monitoring groups, which have noted the mass executions, have not verified the crematorium allegation.
Relatives of detained Syrians - some of them imprisoned in Saydnaya - gathered outside the United Nations in Geneva Wednesday, carrying portraits of their missing loved ones and tearfully writing their names on long strips of paper.
De Mistura hoped all the delegations would desist from set piece press conferences, which he clearly feels lead to delegations making inflexible statements that impede private reconciliation.
Delegations are expected to arrive in Geneva on Monday, a day before the talks start.
And that is why Bashar al-Assad is frightened of this process.
Meslet says the proposal involved "the constitutional frame" for an eventual transition period in Syria.
It described the allegations as "lies" and "fabrications", noting what it called a USA track record of using false claims as a pretext for military aggression.

Another kind of ankle pain is neuropathic, or nerve-related. This happens when the nerves that pass through the ankle become pinched or stretched, torn, injured by a direct blow, or under pressure.
Other sources of ankle pain include:
- A torn or inflamed tendon
- Arthritis of the ankle joint
- A fracture
- Synovium, which is inflammation of the joint lining
- Scar tissue formation in an ankle joint following a sprain; the scar tissue fills up the space in the joint, putting pressure on the ligaments

Could the co-founder of Galleon be the government's star witness in the insider trader case?
Investigative reporter Teri Buhl points out that Galleon's co-founder Gary Rosenbach has not been charged and has remained silent on the charges. Rosenbach co-founded Galleon in 1997 and was listed as a co-portfolio manager in the main Galleon International fund.
Buried in a footnote on page 11 in the FBI charge it says Raj interacted with CW since the mid-90's in connection with the CW's prior employment. Raj's former employer was none other than Needham & Company. Todd Harrison of Miniville reminds us the Raj and Gary worked together at Needham, a top boutique firm that invested in tech companies. Keep in mind Rosenbach's name is on some of the alleged insider traders like PeopleSupport Inc.
Rosenbach did not return an email for comment at press time.
That all just simply suggestive rather than completely persuasive. We'll keep you posted if more evidence comes in.

Stockholm, Switzerland (BBN)-Belarusian writer and journalist Svetlana Alexievich has won the 2015 Nobel Prize for literature.
The prize committee called her writing "a monument to courage and suffering in our time', reports BBC.
The award – presented to a living writer – is worth eight million kronor (£691,000).
Previous winners include literary giants Rudyard Kipling and Ernest Hemingway and French historical author Patrick Modiano who won in 2015.
Alexievich is a political writer who is critical of her home country's government.
Her best known works in English translation included Voices From Chernobyl, an oral history of the nuclear catastrophe; and Boys In Zink, a collection of first-hand accounts from the Soviet-Afghan war.
The author was born in 1948 in the Ukrainian town of Ivano-Frankivsk, to a Belarusian father and Ukrainian mother.
The family moved to Belarus after her father completed his military service, and Alexievich studied journalism at the University of Minsk between 1967 and 1972.
After graduation, she worked as a journalist for several years before publishing her first book, War's Unwomanly Face, in 1985.
Based on interviews with hundreds of women who participated in the Second World War, it set a template for her future works, constructing narratives from witnesses to the world's most shattering events.
On her personal website, Alexievich explains her pursuit of journalism: "I chose a genre where human voices speak for themselves."
She has previously won the Swedish PEN prize for her "courage and dignity as a writer."
The 67-year-old author was the bookies's favourite to win the award, according to Ladbrokes.
She beat other hot favourites Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami and Kenyan novelist Ngugi Wa Thiong'o.
Alexievich is the 14th woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in its history.
A total of 112 individuals have won it between 1901 and 2015.

Rosemary Lodge
Set in tranquil traditional Kentish park-like grounds interspersed with fruit trees providing a charming backdrop, particularly when in full bloom, Cradduck Oast House and Farm Lodges offer a warm welcome to all. Especially Edward, the resident horse who likes nothing better than meeting new guests. Originally a religious retreat for an ancient Order of Nuns, the Oast being the chapel, you can still experience the aura of a sanctuary as the extensive grounds ensure you can find a quiet corner where you can get away from everyone to relax! Staplehurst with its 15th Century church and black and white timbered-framed buildings is often referred to as a village - indeed, it was voted Kent Village of the Year in 2003, and the village sign still proudly welcomes visitors - but really it's grown into a small rural town offering a wide range of local shops.
