...inner ear contains small hair cells that vibrate against an inner membrane, generating an electrical signal that the brain interprets as sound, Levey explains. When bombarded by loud volumes over an extended period of time, these hair cells die off. The result is hearing loss, and potentially an array of other nasty consequences. A study conducted by Levey and Dr. Brian Fligor of Harvard University, which is nearing completion, suggests teens with hearing loss are at risk for reduced vocabularies, reading and math skills...
...explore the various forms a uniform glass bottle can take. Working from the initial idea of the bottle representing sexuality, Ortega plays with variations of embracing bottles, personifying the objects in the act of lovemaking. He branches out in his experimentation of form to create an array of bottles that have embellishments, multiple colors, modified shapes, or all three. Each bottle is striking in its own way and, placed together on a long white table, they mirror each other and come together as a metaphor for diversity in society. All these pieces make “Do It Yourself?...

Counts of Obama's czars range from the high...
...pushing back against Obama's settlement-freeze demands, and he is under no domestic pressure to make any concessions. But Abbas' domestic constituency will see the New York City meeting as yet another humiliation inflicted on him by Washington, which has had him pose for endless photographs with an array of Israeli leaders who have no intention of satisfying the basic demands of a peace agreement he could accept. In a bid to reclaim some of the ground he has consequently lost to the more radical Hamas organization, Abbas had refused to meet with the Israelis until they established their...
