Another week, another list. Ok, keep in mind that this is not my own list. It's a list by myIGNers who participated in the endeavor. If you're anime isn't in this list, its cause you didn't participated. Just to be sure as well, make sure you have room for your backlog because it's about to grow again.
If you think the ranking sucks then by all means let's talk. I know it's hard to satisfy people and I personally do not like the rankings but this is as unbiased as I can be. Ok then I hope you enjoy the list this week.
Year: 2011 Genre: Comedy, Romance, Shounen-Ai Episodes: 12
alexdanielmajor said: Yeah, I'm sure you all knew I'd put this baby here. I just love the characters! However, I feel it's somewhat strange that everybody who works in the shoujo manga department is a gay guy. There has to be one woman or heterosexual man in there! Oh well, what are you gonna do? It's still pretty awesome, and very cute.
This anime is about two dudes loving each other. If you've seen Brokeback Mountain then you have an idea just what the anime is about. Yes, whatever you're thinking, they're doing it. The genre really caters for pre-teen girls and the story gets downplayed for some boy on boy skin rubbing. It's not an easy anime to watch but if you just step back and give it an open minded look then you'd be surprise at the wonderful things hidden in the most deceiving of places.
This anime is about the two dudes having a serious relationship. One of the reasons this anime is so high up on the list is because in terms of Romance, the Shounen-Ai genre has proved to be so much better and so much realistic than any boy-girl anime love story out there. The story in this anime is mature and easy to relate to. The characters, despite being dudes, are easy to relate to because they share common relationship problems most of us has experienced before. None of that puppy dog bullsh*t love story where the girl is chasing the guy. It's all about mature adults experiencing love and trying to get to know each other while having casual sex in between.
Of course the story isn't that great and some of the elements are a bit forced like the drama aspects but the pairings in the anime is enough to hook you. The hurdle of getting used to watching a same sex relationship is also a bit of challenge but the payoff is worth it.
Positives: Great Love Stories
Negatives: Weak Second Half
Year: 2005 Genre: Comedy, Romance, Drama, Slice of Life, Josei Episodes: 24
ponkilo said: First and for most, one of the best intros ever. Or at least best use of food. I really enjoyed this one. Poor college students just getting by facing college student problems with a little love thrown in there for good measure. The characters are well developed and complex.
Honey and Clover is a straight up coming of age anime. It's about a group of friends experiencing the wonders of growing up. They discover love, value family and friends and they learn more about themselves. It's a pretty simple anime about growing up but it was able to nicely capture the experience. The characters carry the show and we often see things thru their eyes. The perspective changes so that we see, hear, think, and occasionally feel what any given character is going through at that time. Depending on a viewer's past experiences in college or even just life in general, certain characters will become more appealing and easier to relate to than others. Someone who has never been torn between someone they love and a close friend who loves them will have a hard time relating to a character.
The anime is fairly deep dealing with topics like unrequited love, the agonizing experience of being rejected by the one you love and figuring out your goals in life. Honey and Clover is a great experience. It will make you ponder and relate to the characters as you often see your own life problems being taken head on by them.
This anime is also a big form of art. The soundtrack is backed by a talented pool of artists. The music really sets the tone of the anime and it's one of the most awesome parts of it. The opening sequence is also as original as it can be. As ponkilo said, nice use of food.
Positives: Deep coming of age story that is easy to relate to
Negatives: Slice of Life genre moves slow and requires patience
Year: 2000 Genre: Comedy, Ecchi, Romance, Harem, Slice of Life Episodes: 24
PTRPG said: I know, I know, a harem anime; but I like harem anime, so sue me (harem no jutsu). Also, this one is such a sweet story. A guy trying again and again to pass the entrance exam to get into Tokyo University, so he can search for his long lost childhood girlfriend whom he made a promise to. I also like all the relationship drama; he loves her, and she loves this guy, right here, and he loves somebody else, you just can't win. All the characters are great, but I'm partial to Kitsune (Kitsune, Ryoko, Misato, they all do it for me). I even liked it so much; I bought the manga as well as the dvd box set.
This anime is a huge staple of the early 00s and possibly one of the earliest Harem anime ever. Harem anime is about one guy being surrounded by a bunch of girls and getting into some misadventures along the way. It slowly devolved into a sub-genre for Ecchi but, once upon a time, it was more Romance than Fan service. Love Hina is about a guy who once made a promised to his childhood sweetheart that they'd attend Tokyo University together. One problem though, the dude always fails his exam and he is now afraid that the girl might've already entered without him. He decided to live on his grandma's hotel for a while to prepare for the next entrance exam. To his surprise, the hotel is now turned into an all-girl's dormitory. The lucky bastard is now forced to live with five girls.
This anime is simply hilarious. It introduces a wide variety of characters, strange situations, a good plot with a lot of twists that will keep you guessing until the end, and a countless amount of strange things that seem to happen for absolutely no reason. Every episode, you ask yourself, "What will happen today in the Hinata House?" Well, something new always happen in every episode and poor the guy gets the crap beat out of him. Though this eventually becomes repetitive, it never subtracts from the humor of the show. There is also a light handed romance nicely mixed in as the guy seems to suspect that one of his tenants is his childhood friend he made the promise with. This is old school and its comedic charm is a rarity nowadays.
Positives: Good Comedy and Interesting Characters
Negatives: Repetitive Jokes
Year: 2009 Genre: Action, Comedy, Mystery, Sci Fi, Romance Episodes: 11
GoM said: It's based around a group of people who are involved in a "game". Each contestant is given a cell phone which, when they dial an operator, can grant them practically anything they want instantly, without problem. They're given 10 billion dollars and tasked with the challenge of using that money to "save" Japan.
When you start to meet different players in the game, you start to see different people's mindset when it comes to fixing problems in a modern age. The really cool part comes in the form of being able to actually see what other players are using their money for and what they're up to. It adds this strange competitive layer to it, and gives way to the main mystery of the show.
Shinji said: I mean, don't get me wrong, what they accomplish with so few episodes rivals a lot of longer series out there...but damned if it didn't feel like they could've done more. Even so, masterful story telling despite it not feeling complete, and just another reason anime is one of the best narrative mediums out there with an absolute lack of limitations. This is without a doubt a MUST SEE anime.
ponkilo said: I loved the concept of this one. Strangers are given obscene amounts of money to use to make the country a better place and if you win the game you are rewarded by not dying. And in the background there is the theme of unemployment and innovation of technology. Overall I think this show hits closest to what's happening today. Everyone is trying to figure out how to make the world a better place and at the same time trying to make a living. I know I'm in that boat right now but that's a whole other bucket of muffins I won't go into.
The anime is about twelve individuals given 10 billion yen to "save" Japan in some way. If they want something, they just call with the special cellphone handed to them and they'd get what they want. If their money runs out, they are eliminated. The anime centers around a guy named Akira who lost his memories but seems to have been involved in a scheme of sending a bunch of NEETS (lazy ass unemployed bums) out of the country by boat and the event called "Careless Monday" where a bunch of missiles was launched into Japan luckily avoiding any deaths. There is a big mystery in the anime because you eagerly wait to see the rest of the twelve people given 10 billion yen and you constantly wait for the anime to slowly reveal why Akira lost his memory.
Seeing the twelve individuals plan out ways to "save" Japan is certainly interesting and it often asks the question of what if you were given the same opportunity. What would you do? Sadly, the anime had a big cliffhanger as it continued into the Eden of the East the movie (which is completely awful) but the anime was so compelling that you immediately grab the movie. It's that awesome.
Positives: Strong Story and Characters, Intriguing Mystery and Comedy aspects
Negatives: Lackluster Ending
Year: 2004 Genre: Action, Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, Mecha, Romance, School Episodes: 26
GoM said: At first glance, My-HiME is easily classified as one of the many, many perverted school girl action animes with romantic subplots thrown in. And you wouldn't be wrong. However, My-HiME is kind of one of the ones that defined that genre, and it does it really... really well.
Once you get past the over-emphasis on boobs, school girls taking baths, and strange obsession with women's underwear (there is actually an entire episode about a creature that steals panties...), the show actually develops a pretty strong plot with solid characters. Not to mention, it's crammed with impressive action sequences and surprisingly well executed character development. And dammit... Natsuki and Duran kick ass.
Mai-HiME sports the story of Tokiha Mai and her brother Takumi as they enter the prestigious Fuuka Gakuen. As the viewer, you're introduced in the first episode to several "HiME's" - girls with the power to materialize their own individual equipment.
Characters include the 13 HiME's, each with a distinct personality and Child - a sort of mecha guardian. Each HiME also has one special person, very important in her life. That makes a main cast of 39 (or 26 if you don't include Childs). From here, there's several more main characters related to the plot as well as quite a few sub-characters. Sounds confusing, right? Sunrise does an amazing job of maintaining this large cast - main character names will always remain with you (or at the very least, their faces will be memorable) while the few interesting and comedic sub-characters also prove to be very memorable as well. Main characters have backdrops to their personalities, reflecting their actions and continue to develop through the story. Mai-HiME is amazing at what it does. Drama, action, comedy, and romance - if you're looking for any of these, watching Mai-HiME will not disappoint. Don't be fooled by the overly comedic appearance though - by episode 8, 15 and 16, you'll be dying to watch more as you sit through some of the heart wrenching situations the people you've seen up till now have to live through.
This is such an underrated classic and it deserves more praise than the ones it's getting. The balance of all the elements makes this anime awesome. My-Hime features a fun and lighthearted first half with extremely likable characters. In addition, the characters are all fleshed out, which is quite impressive considering the number of characters. The second half is the payoff of the character building of the 1st half, featuring one of the most intense and emotionally draining arcs of any anime I've seen. However, My-Hime is not without its faults. The first half lacked a bit of direction and the ending is poorly done which forces me to drop the final score. However, this doesn't change the fact that My-Hime is a fun yet emotionally intense anime series with a great cast of characters.
Positives: Great Story, interesting Characters
Negatives: Lackluster Ending
Year: 2006 Genre: Comedy, Mystery, Slice of Life, Sci Fi, School Episodes: 14
This anime is about a guy named Kyon who is classmates with a girl named Haruhi Suzumiya. She decided to create her own club where they discuss the supernatural like aliens, time travelers and espers. She called it the "SOS" Brigade. Kyon was forced to join in and started recruiting members. The people that joined the club just happened to be an esper, an alien and a time traveler that all claimed to Kyon that Haruhi is a god and if she ever falls into depression, she might destroy the world. The SOS Brigade is now out doing Haruhi's whim making sure she doesn't destroy the world. It's not an easy task when a bunch of supernatural things keeps happening around them and poor Kyon being caught right in the middle.
The sheer charm of the anime is the basic realism vs. fantasy approach mixed with a good dose of everything else. This anime has Romance, Mystery, Action, Ecchi, Comedy and Drama that most anime can't pull off even if they try. You probably will never see an anime as random yet structurally strong as this anime. This anime also boasts an incredible production value because of the near perfect key animations. Just watch the ED and you'll understand why.
Positives: Strong Story and interesting Characters
Negatives: Strong first season but an abysmal second season (Google Endless Eight)
Year: 2006 Genre: Comedy, Mystery, Slice of Life, Sci Fi, School Episodes: 14
ponkilo said: Soul Eater I think has one of the best fight scenes in anime I have seen in a while. The animation is fluid and space is really used well in the fights. Also I really liked how they approached Insanity.
This anime is about reapers and their trusty sidekicks that turns into weapons. It's an incredibly original anime with a childish look but an action packed story and some creepy designs like the creepy moon. It's a straight up Shounen anime full of fights and characters that are skilled in combat. In the surface, the anime looks like it's catered for kids but it's so much more than that.
The one thing that makes this anime really awesome is the characters. There are a lot of interesting characters here from a kid who loves seeing symmetrical things to a professor named Franken Stein that has a screw sticking out of his head that he winds when he thinks. Of course, there is my favorite too: Excalibur. The story in the anime is a bit simple but the action and the characters really carry the show. It has all the fixings with some awesome villains as well. There are no boring moments in this anime as it keeps going from one action scene to another. If only the anime wasn't a mangalure…
Positives: Awesome characters and Great Action scenes
Negatives: Mangalure (the anime ended in the middle of an arc)
Year: 1989 Genre: Comedy, Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, Magic Episodes: 1 (Movie)

alexdanielmajor said: This is the pinnacle of Miyazaki's career, the apex of family-friendly anime. It has such great characters that, if it were my decision, it would be the most watched animated film of everness.
regal4.1 said: it's been there with me for my entire life and was my gateway drug to Ghibli. Despite my obvious nostalgia, I think this movie is wonderful, charming, and totally real. I think Kiki's slump that serves as the conflict of the movie is entirely relatable to most ages, and as such is both sympathetic and saddening.
I don't really need to explain this anime, right? For God sakes, this anime is like some of the first anime people should touch and it's one of the nicest films made by Studio Ghibli. The anime is about a girl named Kiki and her smarty pants talking cat, Jiji. As for tradition, Kiki must leave her village and discover the world so she can become a full pledge witch. She then decides to create a delivery service wherein she delivers packages riding her broom.
This anime is directed by Hayao Miyazaki and his charm of waking up the little kid inside of us with his movies is one of the reasons why you should watch this anime. During its time, it was one of the most awesome animated films because of its high production value and great attention to detail in terms of animation. Every scene in this movie is really amazing as it captures your attention and you feel the 2D world slowly coming to life.
This anime is made in the late 80s though so it's badly outdated. The story is also very simplistic. Seriously, there is no twist and the conflict is expected and the ending is predictable but you're not watching this movie for the story. You're in it for the experience. You watch it so you can wave hello to your three old self and maybe cuddle up together.
Positives: Directed by Miyazaki who you myIGNers consider a god.
Negatives: Badly Outdated
Year: 1990 Genre: Action, Adventure, Supernatural, Fantasy, Shounen Episodes: 13
BlackArachnid41 said: Record of Lodoss War has to be among one of the best anime I've ever seen. It has a great story, an interesting cast, and an intriguing world. Sadly however, where this anime falls short is in its length (no pun intended). Record of Lodoss War has a total of 13 episodes, and although it does wrap up the events within those 13 episodes, it sadly leaves a lot of gaps in the story. The characters actually will occasionally reference events that they've endured (complete with flashbacks) that are never shown in the anime, which mostly gave me a feeling that I missed something.
Anyways, the first series obviously fell short and left me craving more, but it doesn't overshadow the good things that came out of the anime. Record of Lodoss War features some intense battles and action scenes, the characters are portrayed very well and are given some decent back stories (some of which are taken more in depth), and the surrounding world has a very deep history (granted to get a better grasp of it you'll have to watch the second anime along with the related shows Legend of Crystania and Rune Soldier, both of which taking place in the same world as Lodoss, although at times separate continents). Heck, one of the things I love most about Record of Lodoss War is the high fantasy setting that it dwells upon (which the story and world are based on a Dungeons & Dragons campaign that was recorded into a light novel back in the late 80's, granted the anime released in the early to mid 90's).
Overall, granted the anime is short and features some plot holes, there is so much more that overshadows those facts. That is the reason why I highly recommend Record of Lodoss War, especially to those who love the high fantasy genre as much as I do!
Yeah so this anime is action packed and it starts out pretty serious. There were some comedy here and there but the anime really takes itself seriously and it's very easy to be grabbed by the anime. It's the classic good vs. evil story with the characters going through a journey. It's like watching Lord of the Rings to be honest. The characters are interesting and the fight scenes are abundant.
The only downside to the anime is that it's horribly outdated and no subs are available. They're all dubbed and the dub of the 90s is mere half assed because low time production companies take over the task. It doesn't stop from enjoying the epic journey of the characters and fight scenes though.
Positives: Strong Story
Negatives: Outdated Animation
Year: 2002 Genre: Action, Comedy, Sci Fi, Mecha Episodes: 24
Fantaffx said: Tactical Espionage Action is an apt description of this show. They also felt the need to add in a high school setting though, because that is just what happened. oh well, can't have everything the way we want it XD
This anime is about a dude named Sagara who is tasked to protect a girl named Chidori from being kidnapped by the enemies. The plan is that he has to attend her school and keep constant watch. The problem though is that Sagara grew up in a military setting not being able to experience a normal life. So what happens when a guy who knows nothing except combat and espionage and piloting a mecha is suddenly tasked to act like an ordinary student? The result is a mix of action, comedy and a touch of romance. ^ ^
This anime has an incredible mix of Action and School. One moment the characters are trying to fight for their lives in a mechas then the next minute they'd be playing baseball with the very same mechas. There is time for Sagara to be involved with the military carrying out assault plans and talking strategy then there is also time for him to be clueless at why Chidori is mad at him. The lovely blend of the genres makes this anime really amazing.
The action is heavy handed too. The mecha battles are really awesome and the villain in the anime is really impressive. There is no dull moment in this anime because of its brilliant set up. For a personal Karuhi recommendation though, try the second season: Full Metal Panic Fumoffu? As it was produced by the guys who made Haruhi Suzumiya.
Positives: Great Mix of Action and Romance
Negatives: Open ended ending

Gulf War 1 Veterans
Persian Gulf War 1 Veterans (GW1V) who are currently treated by a primary care physician at the VA Salt Lake City Health Care System. GW1V will assess their primary care satisfaction before and after their providers receive a Provider Education Workshop.
Behavioral: Provider Education Workshop
Educational resources for physicians regarding the needs of GW1V patients.
Detailed Description:
Veterans of the 1990-1991 Gulf War1 (GW1) conflict are still experiencing a host of adverse health conditions at the present time. Many GW1 Veterans are still unhappy with their health care at the VA, and other stakeholders are critical of how the VA has dealt with GW1 Veterans' issues. For these reasons, the Gulf War Veterans' Illness Task Force (GWVI-TF) was set up to find ways to improve the situation.
The present survey study addresses one of GWVI-TF's missions, that is, to identify gaps in VA services, and to discover opportunities to better serve GW1V. Caring for GW1V is a top priority for VA health care providers, which is all the more pressing for the following reasons: 1. medical science of Gulf War Illness and environmental exposures is still at its infancy, 2. most providers have not received any focused education about how to take care of GW1V and the unique medical problems these veterans face, 3. a lack of provider knowledge that GW1V may receive may lead to decreased satisfaction on the part of GW1V and may result in GW1V perceived health service quality that is compromised.
In this pilot study, we focus on #2 and #3, to determine how we may understand veterans' perceptions of their medical treatment to ultimately improve GW1V medical health outcomes.

The FAA is seeking comments on a proposed legal interpretation of Airworthiness Directive (AD) regulations. The interpretation comes from the FAA's Organization/Procedures Working Group of the Airworthiness Directive Implementation Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC). Issues identified by the ARC are mostly a result of the FAA's 2002 plain-language revision of 14 CFR Part 39, which governs the AD process. The ARC raised four key questions about interpretation of Part 39. The first addresses the continuing obligation to maintain an AD-mandated configuration and how that affects ongoing compliance. The second covers whether compliance with all of an AD's actions is mandatory or just the portion necessary to resolve the unsafe condition. In the third question, the ARC questioned the use of the term "applicable." The fourth question addressed the issue of impossibilities in ADs, actions that cannot be done because, for example, a component to which the AD applies has been modified or removed during a modification. This seems to raise serious issues, because the FAA interpretation suggests that even if an AD cannot apply because the modified item is completely different from the item called out in the AD, the FAA will still require FAA approval via an alternative method of compliance. Interested parties may comment on the interpretation through May 16.

Marc Dolce may not be a familiar name to you yet but you're sure to be familiar with his work. The Nike designer was recently tapped by the company to re-envision the venerable Air Force 1 for its 30th anniversary, a difficult task to say the least. Not only did the man eagerly embrace the challenge, his design for the Lunar Force 1 has elevated the Air Force 1 silhouette to another plane. Forbes recently caught up with the designer at Nike's New York headquarters to discuss his background, his inspiration, and how the Lunar Force 1 came to be. Below is a brief excerpt, if you'd like to check out the full article head over to Forbes.
"I get a lot of my inspiration from New York," Dolce says. "People say Japan is crazy but New York to me is a combination of street wear and sportswear and high-end fashion that gets mixed. You don't really see that anywhere else."
"It's an emotional connection with product," he says. "I did a sketch of Jordan dunking in '91, and I held onto that sketch because that was for me the point in time when I realized you could combine sport and fashion together. That was the difference."

Adventure Time – "What Was Missing" Recap
A mischievous space-bending Door Lord zips into the lives of the main characters as he steals items important to them. Finn, Jake, Beemo, Princess Bubblegum, and Marceline team up to pursue the thief and get their stolen valuables back, but their progress is halted by an enchanted door that requests a song. As Finn tries to deduce what was missing from their previous attempts to open the door, Bubblegum and Marceline's opposing worldviews threaten to disintegrate the gang.
One of the best things about Adventure Time is the music. Casey James Basichis and Tim Kiefer constantly pump out artful and inventive background scores for each episode, and storyboarder Rebecca Sugar often slips in great musical numbers. Sugar says this musical episode took a lot out of her, and I would say all the extra effort was definitely worth it. Just like in the episodes "Freak City" and "It Came from the Nightosphere", the songs are not only catchy, but vital to the storyline and heartfelt. The songs are also aided by talented voice actors with natural singing chops, especially Olivia Olson, whose character Marceline delivers one of the best Adventure Time songs yet near the beginning of the episode.
Jeremy Shada also does a good job as Finn with the last song of the episode. It's not my favorite Finn song, but it's nice to see the writers letting Shada sing more without relying on Auto-Tune effects as a crutch. The two songettes in between don't really make as much of an impression as the two longer bookend songs, but that might be due to their short lengths. Finn's noodle song seemed like a bit of filler that didn't really go anywhere, and while Bubblegum's blueprint song was interesting, it felt like it was cut too short.
One thing I like about this show is its willingness to flesh out the chemistry between its characters, and while I wish there were more episodes beforehand to build up the fractured relation between PB and Marceline, the episode does a good enough job at cluing the audience into what is inferred to be a long-established relationship. Rebecca Sugar's use of subtle expression also increases the amount of characterization in the episode. But while I liked both the character development and the musical numbers, I think the actual humor is what was missing from this outing. Not to say this wasn't a good episode – on the contrary, it was a fascinating watch – but it's more of a fascination from the pleasant music and interesting character chemistry than belly laughs. It's a great episode for those looking for something deeper than just wacky visual gags and snappy dialogue, but I wouldn't show this one to a newbie, or someone looking for a quick and easy laugh.

Loose Skin on Stomach After Pregnancy and Weight Loss. Candidate for CoolSculpting?
Doctor Answers 14
You are probably a good candidate
you may be "in between" and a candidate for either Coolsculpting, liposuction or a tummy tuck. part of it depends on whether you are interested in an invasive surgical procedure or not and the down time that this necessitates. part of it depends on how "great" you want to look and feel after surgery. coolsculpting is NOT a substitute for surgery but can give you real results WITHOUT surgery.
Coolsculpting will reduce fat, but won't get rid of saggy skin
Coolsculpting is an effective way to reduce fat. However, you are right to point out that coolscupting will not help sagging skin due to weight gain during pregnancy and subsequent weight loss. (BTW - good for you for losing so much weight). The sagging skin may become even more pronounced when you lose more fat via coolsculpting. A tummy tuck will give you a better aesthetic result, but it is more expensive and requires more downtime.

Cool Sculpting after pregnancy
Body reshaping can be performed with a cannula that removes fat via liposuction or with noninvasive technology like Cool Sculpting. With Cool Sculpting there is no cannula inserted into your body. All treatments are performed on the surface from the outside in using technology that freezes the fat. Don't hesitate to give us a call in Austin regarding a Body Reshaping Consult at the Upper Room. On our Facebook Page there is an Interview I recently did with KVUE, a local news station in Austin, that was picked by affiliates around the United States, including Miami. During the Interview we discussed the technology of Cool Sculpting as well as it application process.
The discomfort from treatment does resolve. Taking over the counter tylenol or naproxen resolves this in the majority of cases. If you have swelling that is persistent then a waist binder is helpful.

Coolsculpting After Pregnancy
Dear Chosen,
Congratulations on a commendable weight loss.
After you reach full recovery from your delivery, the cool sculpting procedure can be used safely.
That said, the laxity and the excess of your skin may not get better. If you are looking for a flat tummy, a surgical approach (tummy tuck) will be your best bet especially if you have developed an umbilical hernia or diastasis recti that need to be fixed.
I encourage you to visit a board certified surgeon of ample experience who will guide you to make a well informed decision after you communicate your goals with him/her. It would be a plus if the surgeon of your choice offers cool sculpting at his/her office.
For instance, I try to make my assessment based on the fact that I have the Zeltiq treatment at my office available for the right candidates.
Thank you for your inquiry.
The best of luck to you.

Evaluating your expectations for coolsculpting result is the key.
You may want to wait for at least 9 months after you delivered and be sure your weight is where you want it to be before considering coolsculpting. The rule is that hanging skin will still hang after fat reducing procedures. You are correct that the hanging skin thickness would be reduced after coolsculpting.

Hanging skin and Coolsculpting
Coolsculpting does not tighten hanging skin but is excellent for reducing fat bulges. For tightening skin we use Exilis in our practice.
CoolSculpting is not a great procedure if liposuction is not expected to give improvement
If you have a skin laxity issue then CoolSculpting by Zeltiq probably will not give you enough or any improvement. If there is fat accumulation then you can get some reduction from CoolSculpting. Otherwise you may need an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) so see a plastic surgeon in consultation.

Zeltiq is not effective for loose abdominal tissues
Based on your description, I would not recommend the Zeltiq procedure. Its minimally effective at reducing abdominal fat and does nothing for skin laxity. This comment is based on my experience with treating over 100 patients with the device - its just not that effective. An abdominoplasty is a terrific procedure that delivers great contouring results when done by a surgeon that does the procedure frequently.

I'm looking to buy the same charger that came with the phone, since I know it fits. Unless I was looking at the wrong product on the Samsung web store, another charger will cost about $40. I've purchased other USB chargers like this in the past, and they were $10 or less. Is there another place to buy the exact same cable online?

Research project: Global diversity and evolution of Vermetidae worm-snails
- Start date:
- 2010
Museum investigators
External investigators
Funded by
- National Science Foundation (NSF) DEB/REVSYS grant 0841760 awarded to R. Bieler, T. Collins, T. Rawlings and J. Healy
Project website: www.vermetus.org
The Vermetidae are a family of gastropod molluscs which comprises about 150 extant species. Vermetids are often called 'worm-snails', because their appearance is very different from most other marine molluscs, and they superficially resemble some tube worms (polychaetes). They are irregularly-coiled suspension-feeders which live permanently cemented to rock, shell or coral substrates. Some species are reef-builders, and many are ecologically sensitive and/or threatened. Several species are fouling organisms on boat hulls and power-plant channels. The taxonomy of Vermetidae is poorly resolved, and they are not often included in biodiversity surveys or museum shell collections.
As part of a larger, collaborative project to elucidate the evolution of Vermetidae and resolve the convoluted taxonomic dilemmas of this group, postdoctoral researcher Rosemary Golding was involved in several components of the research program:
- A global morphological revision of Dendropoma, using anatomical, opercular and conchological information to resolve species and genus-level structure
- A survey of West Atlantic Vermetidae, including surveys of coral habitat in Barbados and Belize
- Evolution and variation in protoconch morphology across vermetid worm-snails

Futurist and business strategist Peter Schwartz, the guest on Thursday night, has spent thirty years looking at the deeper forces for change. He believes that in the coming decades the ability to manipulate matter at the atomic level will be "the new industrial revolution," and that we will be able to "grow a building the way nature builds a tree."
There will be "quantum computers" that can have more than just the two states of 0 and 1, and this will vastly increase computing potential, he explained. He predicted that within 30-50 years, artificial intelligence (AI) machines will be smarter than we are, though humans will likely be enhanced electronically to increase their capabilities.
Schwartz suggested one of the biggest dangers we face in the future is radical climate change, of which we could now be seeing the initial signs. In this scenario, at first the weather would get warmer and then grow much colder, possibly akin to an ice age occurring within a decade. Another threat he outlined was in the field of genetic engineering or molecular biology, where an accidental or unforeseen development could have disastrous consequences.
Peter Schwartz has made a prediction on the intriguing site longbets.org, a public forum created to stimulate long-term ideas. Members to the site can log in their long term predictions, and then other participants can bet for or against the proposition, with the wagers going to philanthropic causes.
Schwartz's prediction that "at least one human alive in the year 2000 will still be alive in 2150," has already attracted one person to bet $1,000 against it. Ironically, if the person wagering against it is still alive in 2150, she will lose the bet. In his argument for increased longevity, Schwartz points to the current work in stem cell research, as well as in telomerase, an enzyme in DNA, which may yield new life extension therapies. He further notes that human lifespan doubled from 45 to 85 in the last century. If that was to happen again in the 21st century, we could have 170-year olds walking around!

Spring Has Sprung: Ready or Not
"Mommy! He said my pinky toe is gross!"
"I can't help it! It is! It's got that skin there!
"That skin is my FOOT. Hello, it's a FOOT. Why are you even looking at my pinky toe?"
Your children are getting ready for afternoon sports practices. You hear this exchange, and wonder: Wasn't it just spring break? Or was that five years ago? For a moment, life seemed so relaxing.
Oh, well. You've got your dim memories.
Welcome home.
Somehow during your week off you forgot just how long afternoons can be. The sibling volume increases. You hit "save" on your laptop and march briskly to the scene of the crime. The toe critic is now wagging his butt at his sister. She shrieks. This causes the butt-wagger to wag even closer. He punctuates his wagging with some dance moves that would make Pitbull proud.
This could go on indefinitely.
You sigh. You look heavenward. "Get YOUR CLEATS on!" you admonish.
There is a torrent of complaints about pinky toes and butts, which you ignore. You raise a hand, and close your eyes.
"Did you get your water bottles?"
They stare at you blankly.
Your teenager wanders in. She wants to discuss attending a Warped Tour concert this summer. (She knows not to bring this up when she has your full attention.) None of the local dates will work.
You nod, but you're distracted by the desperate search for shin guards. You glance up at the clock. Yup, you're already late.
The spring sports season has begun.
Let the driving begin.
You drop one child off at Norwood Park and head out to River Road with the other.
He wants to know when Google glasses are coming out. You say someday. He wants to know how the GPS navigation system works. You make stuff up about satellites. He wants to know the difference between Presbyterians and Methodists. You mumble something about Scotland.
You are getting tired of not knowing the answer to anything. You ask him to let you concentrate on traffic. As you pass Goldsboro Road, you realize that back in the mudroom, you okayed a Warped Tour concert in New Jersey.
Then you realize you are driving aimlessly. You can't recall what field you're headed to. You glance in the rearview mirror. Your son is wearing a baseball uniform. Ah. You drive on, Cabin John your ultimate destination. Then it hits you.
You are in a carpool.
You turn around. You reach the teammate's house. His water bottle has broken in his sports bag. His father is racing about, trying to find dry stuff. The father apologizes for holding you up. He obviously wasn't paying attention to the time you arrived. You wave airily. You are magnanimous!
You head back out to River Road. The boys are chatting happily. The sun is shining. The dogwood trees are blooming. It is breathtaking beautiful. You relax. How lucky you are.
You turn a corner. Traffic is standing still. You take a deep breath.
Play on!

US consumers are being offered a cornucopia of smartphone apps to track or manage health, but only a small number of people are using them, according to a survey released on Monday.
The Washington, DC-based Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project study, which interviewed 3,014 adults across the country, found that only about 7% of the people surveyed used a smartphone app to track a health indicator like weight, diet, exercise routine or to monitor a chronic disease such as diabetes.
"There's still a low uptake in terms of apps and technology," said lead researcher Susannah Fox.
"It is surprising. We've been looking at health apps since 2010, and health-app uptake has been essentially flat for three years."
"The explosion of mobile devices means that more Americans have an opportunity to start tracking health data in an organized way," Fox told The New York Times (NYT).
But the research suggests that consumers have been slow to latch on to smartphone technology for health despite hundreds of new apps to manage weight and track blood pressure, pregnancy, blood sugar, diabetes or medication.
An NYT report said more than 500 companies are making or developing self-management tools according to Health 2.0, a market intelligence project that keeps a database of health technology companies. Nearly 13,000 health and fitness apps are available.
"There's a proliferation of choices, and consumers are being faced with a food court of options," Fox told AFP.
"What we see is that consumers are losing their appetite."
Fox said her research and other studies have shown that systematic tracking for health issues is helpful.
"People are reporting that tracking as an activity is having an impact," she said.
"But I can't make a judgement on whether it's better to use paper and pencil or an app."
The researchers found that 19% of smartphone owners have downloaded an app related to health, although these were not necessarily used for monitoring a specific health issue.
Exercise, diet and weight features are the most popular types of health apps downloaded, the study found. Some 38% of health app users track their exercise, 31% monitor their diet and 12% use an app to manage their weight.
Around one in seven adults surveyed track a health indicator like weight, diet or exercise routine for themselves or another person.
Roughly half of those tracking their health or symptoms said they keep track of progress "in their heads", with 21% using some form of technology, which could include a spreadsheet, medical device or app.
The study found that a third of all "trackers" share their data with someone else, most often a medical professional. It also found that a "notable number" of trackers with chronic conditions said they do not keep formal records.
Some 37% of people with two or more conditions said they memorize progress notes, as do 48% of those who are monitoring a single health issue.


text: Therapy targets folate receptors found on cancer cells otherwise resistant to standard chemoZION, IL, June 16, 2009 - Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) at Midwestern Regional Medical Center, a leading provider of innovative cancer care for patients living with complex and advanced-stage disease, is the only hospital in Illinois and Wisconsin to take part in new clinical research involving a treatment designed to target ovarian cancer cells otherwise resistant to standard chemotherapy. The Phase II clinical study, called "PRECEDENT," is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EC145, a drug currently being studied in the treatment for women with ovarian cancer who develop a resistance to standard platinum-based chemotherapy. EC145 was developed by Endocyte, a privately-held biotechnology company."With EC145, we're working to target a powerful chemotherapy drug directly to cancer cells while sparing the healthy cells," says Dr. Sybilann Williams, MD, gynecologic oncologist and surgeon at Cancer Treatment Centers of America at Midwestern Regional Medical Center and principal investigator for the PRECEDENT study. "EC145 is designed to target the folate receptors found in high concentrations on cancer cells," she adds.In order to be eligible for the PRECEDENT study, patients must have platinum-resistant ovarian cancer where the disease has progressed or recurred within six months of a first or second treatment with a platinum-based chemotherapy drug. Those eligible will be treated with Doxil® (pegylated liposomal doxorubicin), an approved drug used to treat ovarian cancer, or with Doxil® and EC145, which combines a vinca-deritive drug and folate (vitamin B-9). The PRECEDENT study is yet another example of CTCA's commitment to expanding medical treatment options for women battling ovarian cancer. In October 2008, CTCA at Midwestern Regional Medical Center announced a ground-breaking clinical trial of an ovarian cancer vaccine called o-Vax that uses cells taken from an individual patient's tumor to stimulate immune cells to attack the existing cancer. Patients continue to be accepted for this clinical trial."CTCA offers a powerful combination of traditional and innovative therapies provided by a team of cancer experts who work with each patient individually, to determine the appropriate combination of therapies to fight cancer," Dr. Williams says.Ovarian cancer is the ninth most common cancer among women, and the leading cause of death due to cancer of the female reproductive system. According to the American Cancer Society, it is estimated that there will be 21,550 new cases of ovarian cancer in the U.S. in 2009 and 14,600 cancer-related deaths. A woman's risk of getting invasive ovarian cancer during her lifetime is about one out of every 71 women. Patients interested in the clinical trial may contact a CTCA Oncology Information Specialist at 877-98-TRIAL.About EndocyteEndocyte is a privately-held biotechnology company with headquarters in the Purdue Research Park of West Lafayette, IN. Based on the applications of Endocyte's advanced proprietary Drug Guidance System (DGS), the Company is working to develop new drugs and diagnostic agents to treat many types of cancer and other serious diseases. The DGS platform makes it possible to use highly-potent drugs on extended and frequent dosing schedules and in combination with other drugs to maximize efficacy. The technology improves drug targeting and reduces the risk of side effects by combining drugs with ligands that are able to identify and attach to receptors found on tumor and other disease cells. Endocyte is currently conducting three separate Phase 2 clinical trials for its lead compound, EC145, together with EC20, a companion molecular imaging agent, for the treatment of ovarian cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Other clinical-stage products in the Endocyte pipeline include: EC0225, a combination of two potent anticancer drugs; BMS493, a potent drug being developed in partnership with Bristol-Myers Squibb; EC17, a targeted immunotherapy agent; and EC0489, a targeted cancer drug. The Company also has multiple product candidates in pre-clinical stage development. About Cancer Treatment Centers of America® Cancer Treatment Centers of America Global, Inc. (CTCA), headquartered in Boca Raton, Fla., is a national network of five hospitals that serves adult patients who are fighting cancer. CTCA® offers an integrative approach to care that combines advancements in genomic testing and precision cancer treatment, surgery, radiation, immunotherapy and chemotherapy, with evidence-informed supportive therapies designed to help patients physically and emotionally by enhancing their quality of life while managing side effects both during and after treatment. CTCA serves patients from around the world at its hospitals in Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, Phoenix and Tulsa.

Ask a Dog Vet and Get Answers to Your Dog Health Questions
I don't recommend using this medication for your dog. It is a skeletal muscle relaxant, but can cause weird neurologic signs (tremors, vocalization, seizures, etc.) in dogs. Overdoses (a therapeutic dose has not been established) can cause toxic effects including mild increase in heart rate, respiratory depression, seizures, and ataxia.
Your vet can dispense a more appropriate muscle relaxant called methocarbamol.
Good luck with Hank!

If former Mayor Horace H. Johnson is to be believed, downtown Hillsborough was to be a "major disaster" if dens of iniquity like The Wooden Nickel were allowed to serve patrons outside. There would be rampant "lewd licentiousness and debauchery," a hive of scum and villainy not seen since the Mos Eisley Spaceport. Thankfully, we had a fearless regular of The Nickel, Trey Benfield, to guide us.
An insider's take
We asked Trey to give us the skinny on his favorite place to hang out. This is what he had to say.
"The Wooden Nickel is my local neighborhood bar and I will freely admit my bias. I go there are least once a week and more if I can help it – but there is a good reason for that.
A lot of bars try to pull off the neighborhood bar feel, but rarely accomplish it. I love the fact that I know my bartenders and they know me. They are even happy to see me. Most of the people there are regulars – even the current mayor of Hillsborough is a frequent patron. However, what really sets the Nickel apart is the food. Most bar food struggles to be mediocre. The Nickel takes pride in serving outstanding, creative food with mostly locally sourced ingredients. The quality rivals many nice restaurants.
When I first starting going to the Nickel, my wife ordered salmon. I made fun of her for thinking she was going to get decent seafood dish at a bar. I was wrong – it was perfectly pan seared in a way most nice restaurants cannot accomplish.
Though known mostly for their wings and tater tots, the Nickel can serve a great burger. The standard menu consists of classics – a burger with lettuce, pickles, and tomato, a Western burger with bacon and bbq sauce. They even have an emu and bison burger. I am particularly fond of the fried egg burger. Also the Nickel offers a special burger that changes weekly.
The weekly burgers are fun and creative."
Obviously, the denizens of Hillsborough couldn't care less for former Mayor Johnson's warnings.
Cool environment, crafty burgers
The tiny place was packed to the rafters. Beers and food were flung with reckless abandon. Quite literally in Carolyn's case as she ended up wearing her cheeseburger. Given that she was eight months pregnant at the time of our review, she said that ketchup cooled her down a little bit.
We'll focus our review on the special burger for the evening: an 8-ounce burger with white cheddar, bacon, and curry peanut butter. An old favorite of TSB, Salem Street Pub, has a great peanut butter topped burger called "My Wife Said It Wouldn't Sell." We figured, local pub, peanut butter on a burger, how can we go wrong?
Chad was reminded of a comment he received at a bluegrass jam several years back, "Hey Man, I really like what you're trying to play." That fits the vibe we all got from our burgers.
It was a really cool idea, and it had its moments, but it didn't quite deliver. The patty was solid. The bacon was a little limp. The curry peanut butter could have used more time in the blender. A few bites would be peanut butter only then — BAM — a big lump of curry.
It was distracting and left the experience somewhat inconsistent.
Don put it perfectly:
"Much like the edge of an actual wooden nickel, the curry peanut putter sauce was a bit rough and uneven, but the overall uniqueness of the coin finds a place in your memory."
Chad would have given it a 3.5 but he ended up at 3.75 because of the degree of difficulty and the terrific atmosphere.
Don's rating: 3.5
Michael thought the place was charming, but he wished the burger was better. His rating: 3.5.
Carolyn gives it a solid 3.5.
Trey didn't give a rating, but this is what he had to say:
"Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't quite live up to the promise but they keep things interesting and are fun to try. If you want a great burger in a bar setting, I cannot think of any place that outdoes the Nickel. Tell them Trey sent you."
Overall rating: 3.56 for 38 out of 70

The siren on the megaphone went off, and almost the entire 2012 Elon University football team came together for stretches, led by one of the coaches. Once he was done, rising senior linebacker Blake Thompson took the middle of the pack to lead the team to chant "EU! You know!"
It was similar to any collegiate orientation weekend, but head coach Jason Swepson said his second go-around at the first spring practice Tuesday as the main man for Elon was different.
"The will and want to be successful is there, whereas last year it was more about the guys trying to please the coaches, so that's been exciting to see," he said. "We're at a different mental level than we were last year because our players tasted the chance to have a winning season after being a minute or so away from it."
Last season, the Phoenix finished 5-6, losing four of five to drop from a pleasing 3-1 start to a mediocre 4-5. After a victory over then-No. 17 Furman University Nov. 12 to pull themselves to a .500 record, the Phoenix let an early 21-0 lead over Appalachian State University slip away Nov. 19 and lost 28-24.
But it was Swepson's first season at the helm, and he said the difference in all his players knowing "what they're doing" is key, especially in the technical part of the game.
"Our technique looks better than it did a year ago," he said. "We've taken major steps forward and had a great winter conditioning program. Now it's about being physical and controlling the line of scrimmage."
The line of scrimmage is an area where there is going to be some major competition during the spring. Losses of current senior starters Ned Cuthberson, Rodney Austin and Logan Hardin opens up three spots for players like rising sophomore Austin Sowell, who was a coaches' all-freshman Southern Conference pick last season. Swepson also said former defensive lineman and rising junior Tevin James will move to offensive line.
Another player moving to cover losses is Thompson, who was a starting safety last season and the team's second-leading tackler. Graduating senior linebackers Zach Henderson and Joshua Jones leave two openings in the linebacking corps coached by new linebackers coach Freddie Aughtry-Lindsay. Also, former linebacker starter and would-be fifth-year senior Dale Riley will forego his final year of eligibility and graduate this May, according to the Burlington Times-News' Bob Sutton.
Swepson will look to players like Thompson for an important attribute in any sport.
"We need some leadership," he said. "We lost some great leaders last year. We have a lot of veterans who have played some football. I'm excited. I think we're going to have some good leadership."
Despite the defense losing four players who have started (cornerback Jonathan Conner will also graduate), Swepson sees an intuitive group.
"The defense has been sharp," he said. "The terminology, they're spitting out the calls a lot sooner than last year. (Spring practice is) a lot more technique teaching than play teaching like it was a year ago."
Overall, Swepson is happy with the early results from spring practice.
"We were able to get a lot of work in, both teaching and technique wise," he said. "I have a feeling that this team is going to want to hit and be successful."
[box]Quick Hits
- Rising sophomore Odell Benton, who played six games last year, practiced on the top linebacking unit with Thompson and rising sophomore Jonathan Spain on Tuesday.
- Rising sophomore transfer quarterback Tyler Smith will most likely sit out all of spring practice with shin ailments, according to The Times-News' Sutton.
- Swepson said the team may implement some trickery into the playbook this next season, speaking specifically about wide receivers. "We're going to do some things with those inside receivers," he said. "We'll have them line up at running back. We may dabble in the wildcat a little. (Rising senior) Jeremy Peterson, (rising sophomore) Kierre Brown and (rising redshirt-freshman) Andre Davis, we're going to do a lot of things with them."
- Having morning practices has been an adjustment for the players, but Swepson said they are coping well. "The kids came out and were wide awake, in fact they were out here 10 minutes early (on Tuesday)," he said. "I think they're excited about the morning practice and I think it will be beneficial for us."[/box]

I liked this a lot. The first pitch has a fun leftward rockover move that is a lot easier than it looks.
But the second and third pitches are the best. The Smoot's found a great arete and slab climb on the second. The third is a really fun (although short) featured slab that links chicken heads really well.
Like Brian says, a fun variation.

I don't know of any protection bolts above the end of this route. Were you thinking of the 3 bolts just off of Fudd ledge? If so, then you were on the last pitch of Elementary.
By Jim D
Oct 19, 2010
And I thought all the nice lines on the Gate had already been climbed a decade ago...The first and third pitch are a little contrived, but the second is great and they're all fun. It appears the route was bolted on lead, as all the bolts are clipped from really good stances. The second pitch is cruxy-you do a quick crux, then clip a bolt, then do another little crux. And it does help to be tall for the hardest one. You do all the hard moves on the route with a bolt or a solid cam at your belly button-it is one of the best protected routes on the Gate. You'd really have to work hard to get hurt on this route.
The third pitch would be a dud, but if you combine it with the arete between the main route of Tingey's Terror and the variation to the right, you get another great 5.9+ slab pitch.
The route is a great slab climbing outing when combined with Tingey's Torture.
At the top of the first pitch, be sure to continue up the arete on the right. There is another arete on the left with a bolted anchor at the bottom of it. I'm not sure what route that is, but it isn't Elementary My Dear Watson.
Nice work to the first ascensionists. People will be climbing this one for years to come. Which is good, because it's still kind of gritty.

|Fun climbing as I have enjoyed the TTorture area for years. But reading the description for this route and having climbed here recently twice now, I am more confused than ever. Bolted lines on the right and left of Tingeys. Not exactly sure what I climbed and not much accurate documentation here? What is the name of the route that starts below and right of Sweet jane variation, for example? How about a word from the area developers?

Someone should come up with a nice photo topo including all the bolts and lines with FA information. It would probably look like something a meth-addicted monkey experiencing withdrawal would draw using only his own poop.
What's the name of that bonier-bolted line above and to the R of that 3-bolt line on the topo?

Hi James,
An additional route or two were added after we did "Elementary" This may add to the confusion. Looks like they were done by the same guy who puts his names on some of his hangers.

Fun climb! We approached up the gulley, but if we had more time (this was an after work adventure) it'd be great to link up from below.
First two pitches were great. We skipped the last and ran two more pitches up (not sure what we were on). There were plenty of bolts on pitch 2! Nice arete climbing. The crux is fun - definietly height dependant, but a 5'5"er was abe to get it done on TR without much humph.
I'm not sure if the standard decent over there is still to hike to schoolroom, but that's what we did. We had 1 70m, it was dark, and I'm not too familiar with the area.

We went up the troll gully to the start which was awesome when we saw parties on sweet jane.

Great day of climbing new pitches. We went bottom to top with a majority of pitches I'd never climbed before. I love that.
If you are rapping the basic line of ascent, make sure you have at least two FULL 60meter ropes. Expect to be stretching it in a few places and doing some traverse rappelling. Just another example of why 70meter ropes rule. It was nice to rap right to the packs.

|This climb was really gritty and it was a lot harder than 9+. A good example is the start of tarzan is 10a and I cand do tarzan no problem but every time I tried the crux my feet would grit off and the fall is onto a ledge (the climb was not worth the risk of injury to me). I am not sure why the bolt line did not contunue up the nice slab.

Hi! I very recently upgraded to Outlook 2010. I'm loving it thus far, but one "issue" I'm having is driving me batty. In '07 I was able to customize the toolbar, adding (for example) Mark All As Read to it. I was able to then customize that further and leave it as an icon/symbol only and create a keyboard shortcut for it by inserting "&" in front of the letter I wanted to use (I used alt-k). I can't figure out how to do that in 2010. I am able to add a shortcut to the toolbar, but I can't find how to then create the keyboard shortcuts, and my fingers are always itching to do an alt-k.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks so much,

Portsmouth players to be paid on Thursday
The Portsmouth players will be finally paid their December wages at 0800 GMT on Thursday morning, according to sources close to the club and their new owner.
• PFA to ask questions
• Gaydamak: I'm not to blame
ESPN Soccernet has been informed that the outstanding wage payments are being processed although some of the foreign players who have overseas accounts might find their money arriving later on Thursday.
A source close to the club told ESPN Soccernet on Wednesday night: "I can tell you that the owner's brother went to the Premier League today. The Premier League are very, very supportive and fully aware of Portsmouth's predicament, and they don't want to see anything happen to Portsmouth if they can help it.
"There have been minor hiccups in releasing the money for the players' wages of £1.8 million for December. We did promise it would go through on Tuesday, but I can also tell you the money has been here ready to go since Monday, it has just required the club to sort out some problems, and the meeting with the Premier League has certainly helped.
"We are confident that our short-term problems are behind us and we want to be more open and transparent with our supporters and will be as soon as we can be.
"We also want to be in a position to fully support our manager Avram Grant in his desire to bring in new players and we continue to strive to have our transfer embargo lifted. I believe there is a possibility it can be lifted next week, certainly in time to purchase new players."
Another source inside Fratton Park told ESPN Soccernet on Wednesday night: "Our understanding is that the players' wages have been sorted out at long last and they will be paid tomorrow [Thursday]. The money is in an account and has been for a couple of days waiting release depending on the outcome of a series of decisive meetings.
"The players' view has been 'let's get on with it'. It's not been the best and the players want to be better informed, there is no doubt about that, but they are getting on with it."
The PFA plan to visit Fratton Park, weather permitting, on Thursday, and want assurances from the club that the players' wages won't be late for a fourth successive month.
The PFA's senior executive Nick Cusack will be asking searching questions when he travels to Fratton Park. Cusack is questioning the future financing of Pompey, whether the players will be paid on time after three months of late payments, and the most serious question of all - the integrity of the matches currently being played by Portsmouth in the Premier League when the players are not being paid and worried about their personal circumstances.

Blood tests may be better than standard skin test for diagnosing latent tuberculosis
EMBARGO: 00:01H (London time) Friday April 21, 2006. In North America the embargo lifts at 18:30H ET Thursday April 20, 2006.Two blood tests for diagnosing latent tuberculosis (TB) infection can individually produce fewer false-positive results than the standard tuberculin skin test, according to a study in this week's issue of The Lancet.
Eradication of TB in low-prevalence countries is a realistic aim. Diagnosis and treatment of people with latent infection, who are a reservoir for future cases, will be key. However, the standard diagnostic test for latent TB--the century-old tuberculin skin test--is unreliable, often producing false negative results in high-risk groups and false positives in others, such as those who have received BCG vaccine. Two commercially available blood tests, T-SPOT.TB and QuantiFERON-TB Gold, might be more reliable.
In a prospective study, Luca Richeldi (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Modena, Italy) and colleagues tested the effectiveness of all three tests in routine clinical practice in around 400 people. The performance of each blood test was compared with the skin test. They found that fewer BCG vaccinated individuals were identified as positive by either blood test than by the skin test.
Dr Richeldi states: "QuantiFERON-TB Gold and T-SPOT.TB show good diagnostic agreement with the skin test, but have higher specificity. As such either in combination with or as a substitute for the skin test, they could increase the diagnostic sensitivity of testing for latent TB infection."
The investigators also found that indeterminate and positive results differed between the two blood tests, especially in immunosuppressed patients and young children; these findings suggest that the new tests might produce different results in routine clinical practice. The authors state that the choice of diagnostic test to use should therefore depend on the population being tested, the purpose of testing, and the resources available.
