Claude Julien confirmed what Thursday's morning skate suggested when he revealed the Bruins will take the cautious route with Zd
By the looks of Thursday's morning skate, the Bruins may end up taking the cautious route with Zdeno Chara and hold him out of Thursday's season-opener against the Jets.
The Bruins paired Chara with Colin Miller in Thursday's morning skate, an indication that both could be out Thursday night after Miller did not participate in power play work Wednesday. Given Chara's experience playing with the likes of Zach Trotman and Adam McQuaid, however, Thursday's morning skate look could have simply been gamesmanship on Claude Julien's part. Chara has been out since Sept. 24 with an upper-body injury.
Boston's roster is currently at 23 players with Chara on injured reserve. If they are to take him off IR, they would need to remove a player from the roster.
Boston's lineup in morning skate was as follows:
(Tyler Randell, Max Talbot)
Morrow-Kevan Miller
(Chara-Colin Miller)
Discuss the start of the Bruins season and everything else with DJ Bean at 2 p.m. In the meantime, here's some required reading:
2015-16 season preview
Is Jonas Gustavsson below average? (Yes)
What can the Bruins expect from David Krejci's line?
ESPN NHL hockey analyst Barry Melrose joined Dennis, Callahan & Minihane on Thursday morning to look ahead to the 2015-16 NHL season. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
With the Bruins' disappointing season last year, he feels coach Claude Julien is under pressure right away.
"I think he is. I don't think he should be," Melrose said. "I think Claude is a heck of a coach, won a Stanley Cup in Boston. They had a long drought, there was no Stanley Cup winners and he comes in and gets the job done and the team is good every year. I think he's under pressure. Boston is a team that expects to win. They expect the Red Sox to win, the Patriots to win, the Celtics to win and they expect Boston to win. It's going to be a tough year for the Bruins. They are not the dominant Bruins they once were. Everybody got a little bit better in the East and it is going to take Claude's best coaching job he's ever done in his life to make this a playoff team and give them a chance of winning."
This past offseason the team lost a number of key players, including Dougie Hamilton and Milan Lucic. Melrose says their margin for error is very small.
"Are they as good today as they were last year? I don't think so," he said. "I think what has to happen for the Bruins now is they don't have any margin anymore. The Bruins used to be able to overcome an injury or overcome maybe a struggling player here or there, but I don't think they can anymore. I think the Bruins have to get plays from their kids, they have to get great games from [Patrice] Bergeron, [David] Krejci and [Zdeno] Chara. They can't afford any injuries to key players. Tuukka Rask probably has to play the best he's ever played and they just don't have any margin for error anymore with their lineup.
"If all those things happen they are a playoff team, but if all of a sudden Bergeron misses six weeks or Krejci, who has been hurt a lot lately, misses six weeks, Chara is already starting the year hurt, [Dennis] Seidenberg is already gone for two months, so that's going to be tough. They've been able to overcome those before, I don't know if they will be able to overcome those now."
Melrose also feels Chara has lost a step because of his age, but he is still an above average defenseman.
"He will never just be another guy because of his size and reach and how smart he is," Melrose said. "He will never be just another guy, but I think the years have took its toll. I don't think he's as good now as he was three years ago when they were one of the best teams in the NHL. He's not a dominant defenseman anymore and how can you be? How can you play the amount of games as hard as he's played over the last number of years and still be as good as you were. Is he in great shape? Of course he's in great shape. He's a machine that way, but time takes it's toll even a great competitor like Chara."
Another season, another batch of questions facing a David Krejci-centered line.
As the Bruins held their final practice in anticipation of the 2015-16 season Wednesday at TD Garden, Zdeno Chara may have taken a step closer to being game-ready.
Chara was present as the Bruins practiced the power play prior to practice, switching off with Zach Trotman on the point of Boston's second unit. During one of the first unit's turns, Chara took a pair of light slap shots against the boards, marking the first time he'd been seen taking slap shots since suffering his upper-body injury on Sept. 24. Overall, the day was another step in the right direction for the Bruins and their captain as the B's prepare to open the season against the Jets on Thursday.
"I was just focusing on having a good practice today," Chara said. "That went well, so again, we're going to be looking towards tomorrow to have a better feeling and better knowledge."
Chara danced around the subject when asked about his comfort with slap shots, responding that he was "just doing the drills that we had been told to do." He was also somewhat equivocal on the subject of whether he still needs to be medically cleared to play.
The Bruins had eight defensemen practice Wednesday, seven of whom are on the active roster given that Chara is on injured reserve. Based on Wednesday's practice, it would appear Colin Miller could be the odd man out if Chara doesn't play. Miller, whose skill set makes him a potential power play specialist, did not practice on the power play and was paired with Chara in practice. The lines in Wednesday's practice were as follows:
Hayes-Spooner-Connolly (Randell)
Kelly-Kemppainen-Rinaldo (Talbot)
Morrow-Kevan Miller
Chara-Colin Miller
The power play units looked as such:
First unit:
Second unit(s):
The Bruins' roster currently stands at 23 players, not counting Chara. If the B's are to activate him, they would need to send someone down. The Bruins' roster, as announced by the NHL Wednesday, is as follows:
Matt Beleskey, Patrice Bergeron, Brett Connolly, Loui Eriksson, Jonas Gustafsson, Jimmy Hayes, Matt Irwin, Chris Kelly, Joonas Kemppainen, David Krejci, Torey Krug, Brad Marchand, Adam McQuaid, Colin Miller, Kevan Miller, Joe Morrow, David Pastrnak, Tyler Randell, Tuukka Rask, Zac Rinaldo, Ryan Spooner, Maxime Talbot, Zach Trotman.
Injured: Zdeno Chara, Seth Griffith, Dennis Seidenberg.
The Boston Bruins led the National Hockey League in goal differential in 2010-11 (plus-51), 2011-12 (plus-67), and 2013-14 (plus-84).
Last season, the B's sank to 18th in the league in that category with a plus-2 mark and missed the playoffs for the first time with Claude Julien as their head coach.
What happened?
While Boston's goals-allowed per game (2.45) still ranked a respectable eighth in the NHL last year, the goal scoring per game shrunk to 22nd (2.55), down from third the previous season (3.15).
In 40 contests last season, including 10 of the team's final 15, the Bruins scored two goals or less, up from just 27 such games the previous year.
"We can talk about low scoring, but we were in the top five [in the league] in three of the last four years," Julien said recently. "It was an issue maybe last year when you lose a guy like David Krejci who misses half the season, that takes a lot of it. [Jerome] Iginla [leaving] who had scored 30, I mean we can go on and on. That's in the past."
The 2014-15 Bruins had just three 20-goal scorers and nine who scored 10 or more, the lowest numbers in both categories for the franchise in a non-lockout season since 2009-10. Brad Marchand led the team with 24 markers. Patrice Bergeron netted 23, and Loui Eriksson 22 in a season where Krejci indeed missed 35 games to injury.
Four of last season's 10-goal scorers are no longer with the club, with Milan Lucic (18), Carl Soderberg (13), Reilly Smith (13), and Dougie Hamilton (10) gone to different employers.
Can the likes of Matt Beleskey, Jimmy Hayes, and Brett Connolly improve the team's depth scoring and get the Bruins' offense back to top-five league status?
"We have a lot of new faces," Julien admitted. "We've got a lot of new players that have to adjust to their teammates and feel comfortable but I think with time we'll get better with our offense here."
Marchand, whose 116-goal-total over the past five regular seasons is tied with Bergeron for the team-high, is counting on everyone pulling on the rope.
"We're going to be good," said Marchand. "We've got a lot of guys that can put the puck in the net. A lot of guys that can make plays. Hopefully it transitions into the games. You need everyone to chip in. You need all four lines to be able to contribute and all six D. I think we have guys capable of doing that."
Marchand's anticipated linemates, 30-year-olds Bergeron and Eriksson, have certainly proven they can fill the net over their careers. Bergeron scored 30 goals just two seasons ago and has six 20-goal years under his belt. Eriksson now has five 20-goal campaigns including four such years in Dallas.
Krejci, presumed healthy again at age-29, had 19 and 23 goals in his last two full seasons and is a counted-on presence every night.
It may just be those new faces that tell the story of the 2015-16 Bruins.
Beleskey, 27, scored 22 goals in just 65 games last season for Anaheim (up from just nine two years ago), with eight more over 16 postseason games.
Hayes, 25, lit the lamp 19 times a year ago over 72 games with Florida (up from 11 goals in 2013-14).
Connolly, 23, had 12 goals with Tampa Bay over 50 games last season, before injuries limited him to just five games in a B's sweater (no goals). Connolly scored 21 and 31 times in his two previous years in the AHL.
And last year's Providence call-ups, Ryan Spooner and David Pastrnak, encouraged with eight and 10 goals, respectively, in their partial-year showings.
Progress from those five forwards could get the goal differential back for the Bruins in a positive way. That, and of course, the defensive responsibility Boston has become known for under Julien throughout his tenure; the B's have been a top-eight defensive team in the league now for seven-years running.
"It's something that we know with our team, it's expected," said Marchand. "To go far, have a good year and have a good playoffs, you need that. It's got to be in your DNA. We expect everyone on our team to be able to work hard. We're going to hold each other to high standards with that. It starts every day with practice."
Other things will factor in as well, such as the team's power play success (down from third in the league in 2013-14 to 17th last season, a 12-goal drop-off) as well as offensive support from the defensemen, with tweaks to the team's system that blue-liner Joe Morrow calls 'little changes'.
"I think we have a really good, tough, forechecking team," Morrow said. "Fast. Quite a bit of skill on this team as well, it's a very good overall skill-set for forwards. And you've got a bunch of offensive-defensemen back here who can contribute, too. I feel like we have the overall package this year, it should be pretty fun to watch."
The confusion over the Bruins' decision to sign Jonas Gustavsson to a one-year contract this weekend was twofold.
For starters (OK, backups), the Bruins seemingly already had their No. 2 goalie for the season in Jeremy Smith. That obviously changed when the B's gave Gustavsson the keys and Smith a ticket to Iowa.
Equally as notable, however, is that Gustavsson being the backup isn't a particularly safe play. The former Maple Leaf and Red Wing couldn't stay healthy last season, but that isn't the extent of his concerns. His .901 career save percentage wasn't skewed by a bad season or two: In each of his six seasons in the NHL, he has been below the league average in save percentage. It would be optimistic to assume that will change playing behind what could be a rocky defense this season.
Meanwhile, the Bruins' backups were always above the league average over the last six seasons, including the discarded Niklas Svedberg last season.
There was no sure thing in the Bruins' backup goaltending battle. The choice was to either go with the inexperienced Smith (zero NHL games but a .933 save percentage in 39 AHL games last season) or put faith in Gustavsson's experience despite that it hasn't been particularly good experience.
"It wasn't just because of experience," Claude Julien said. "We looked at different things. At the end of the day we took that direction, and I'm saying this again: We had to make a decision and it could have gone either way, but we made that one based on how we felt. Maybe it's a slight, slight edge but even we can be wrong and maybe you do get to see Smitty back here again. We're not saying that this is it [and] this is what we're going with for the whole season. We're keeping our options open there as well."
Gustavsson, who was limited to seven NHL games with the Red Wings last season by a separated shoulder and concussion issues, admitted that he was unsure of whether he would get an NHL job this season. The Bruins opened that door by giving him a professional tryout, with saw him stop 42 of the 45 shots he saw in one and a half preseason games.
"In the summer when a lot of the teams signed their goalies [and] there wasn't many spots open anymore, obviously you've got to be realistic and think about, 'Maybe I'm going to have to go and play somewhere else,'" the 30-year-old netminder said. "My goal was to play here, but there's only so many spots. At one point, you've got to be realistic. I know I didn't play that many games last season, so I knew it was going to be tough, but I just tried to stay positive and hope that I would get a chance somewhere. I'm happy I got the chance here."
Health and performance will dictate how long Gustavsson's chance will last. The fact that the Bruins used a contract on another goalie when they didn't need to shows that they feel the difference between him and Smith wasn't close, but the B's do have options if Gustavsson is to falter or get hurt.
"It's not like it's over now," Gustavsson said. "Now you've got to keep pushing yourself and prove that you're supposed to be here. I'm happy to get the contract done, but it's just another day. You take the next step and try to help yourself and help the team win some games."

New answers tagged id
I think it's important to understand the why here. The post is stored in a database. 99% of databases that attach a numerical Id "automagically" to a new record do so via something called an "Identity" field (or column). This Identity increments at a fixed rate (usually by +1, but it can be other increments) each time a record is inserted into the database. ...
Post ID is always incremental. There's no way the ID of a previous post is assigned to a new post. If a post is deleted, the ID of that post remains vacant forever.
Forgive me if I am misunderstanding the question but... So, when I get get_post_meta( $get_post_ID()); ... you already have the post ID via $get_post_ID() (which is a BuddyPress function I believe) do you not? If so, you are making this far more complicated than it needs to be. get_post_meta() is only returning the metadata. Given that you already have ...
$pageID = get_option('page_on_front'); should get you the Page ID of the page set at 'Front Page' in WordPress options.
If by Home Page you mean the page designated as the Posts page, the ID is stored in the option page_for_posts. If the value is 0, there is no designated home page.
Can you not see it? This: esc_attr( $item>attr_title ) ...should be: esc_attr( $item->attr_title ) // See the hyphen?
I know you want solution "using WP_Query", but why not use get_posts() for this? $posts_ids = get_posts('post_type=post&posts_per_page=-1&fields=ids'); // $posts_ids is now an array of IDs echo implode(',', $posts_ids); // prints: 123, 124, 125, 126, ... // or foreach( $posts_ids as $id ) { echo $id; }
You are missing the the_post() function call in the loop. Just add $the_query->the_post(); in your loop. Apart from that, your loop should work EDIT You should also not forget to reset your postdata after the query is done

R. Kelly vs. Sisqo
Offended by Sisqo's claim that he was running the R&B game in 2002, R. Kelly unleashed two diss tracks that were aimed directly at the blond-haired singer. On the '02 track "Hold Up," Kellz sang, "20's on the drop/Blue and yellow rocks/Keke yelling stop/Sisqó's album flopped." Then on another cut, "Shake Your Body," the Chi-town hitmaker called out the Dru Hill frontman among the R&B singers biting his style. Of course Sisqo shot back with the fleeting "This Is My Heart," where he sang "Nas and R. Kelly tried to hold me/Getting no airplay/Now they bore me/...Ain't nobody gonna take what's mine." Ultimately this dispute ended with Kellz moving on to bigger things and Sis…well you know.

Diabetes-Associated SorCS1 Regulates Alzheimer's Amyloid- Metabolism: Evidence for Involvement of SorL1 and the Retromer Complex
ABSTRACT SorCS1 and SorL1/SorLA/LR11 belong to the sortilin family of vacuolar protein sorting-10 (Vps10) domain-containing proteins. Both are genetically associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and SORL1 expression is decreased in the brains of patients suffering from AD. SORCS1 is also genetically associated with types 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus (T1DM, T2DM). We have undertaken a study of the possible role(s) for SorCS1 in metabolism of the Alzheimer's amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) and the Aβ precursor protein (APP), to test the hypothesis that Sorcs1 deficiency might be a common genetic risk factor underlying the predisposition to AD that is associated with T2DM. Overexpression of SorCS1cβ-myc in cultured cells caused a reduction (p = 0.002) in Aβ generation. Conversely, endogenous murine Aβ(40) and Aβ(42) levels were increased (Aβ(40), p = 0.044; Aβ(42), p = 0.007) in the brains of female Sorcs1 hypomorphic mice, possibly paralleling the sexual dimorphism that is characteristic of the genetic associations of SORCS1 with AD and DM. Since SorL1 directly interacts with Vps35 to modulate APP metabolism, we investigated the possibility that SorCS1cβ-myc interacts with APP, SorL1, and/or Vps35. We readily recovered SorCS1:APP, SorCS1:SorL1, and SorCS1:Vps35 complexes from nontransgenic mouse brain. Notably, total Vps35 protein levels were decreased by 49% (p = 0.009) and total SorL1 protein levels were decreased by 29% (p = 0.003) in the brains of female Sorcs1 hypomorphic mice. From these data, we propose that dysfunction of SorCS1 may contribute to both the APP/Aβ disturbance underlying AD and the insulin/glucose disturbance underlying DM.

- "These included the synaptic adhesion molecules Nlgn1 and Nlgn3 (Figure 4C, 4D, and S4A; Table S2), and the AMPAR subunit Gria2 (GluA2) (Figure 4C and S4A; Table S2). Various other receptors were also present, including members of the Plexin semaphorin receptor family, the previously identified SorCS1 interactor amyloid precursor protein (APP) (Lane et al., 2010), and Ntrk2 (TrkB), the receptor for the neurotrophin BDNF (Table S2). The results from the SorCS1 ectodomain interactome analysis suggest that SorCS1 interacts with multiple receptors and may regulate key synaptic functions. "
ABSTRACT: The formation, function, and plasticity of synapses require dynamic changes in synaptic receptor composition. Here, we identify the sorting receptor SorCS1 as a key regulator of synaptic receptor trafficking. Four independent proteomic analyses identify the synaptic adhesion molecule neurexin and the AMPA glutamate receptor (AMPAR) as major proteins sorted by SorCS1. SorCS1 localizes to early and recycling endosomes and regulates neurexin and AMPAR surface trafficking. Surface proteome analysis of SorCS1-deficient neurons shows decreased surface levels of these, and additional, receptors. Quantitative in vivo analysis of SorCS1-knockout synaptic proteomes identifies SorCS1 as a global trafficking regulator and reveals decreased levels of receptors regulating adhesion and neurotransmission, including neurexins and AMPARs. Consequently, glutamatergic transmission at SorCS1-deficient synapses is reduced due to impaired AMPAR surface expression. SORCS1 mutations have been associated with autism and Alzheimer disease, suggesting that perturbed receptor trafficking contributes to synaptic-composition and -function defects underlying synaptopathies.

- "Certain IDE genotypes are related to a higher risk of diabetes (Fakhrai-Rad et al., 2000; Karamohamed et al., 2003; Kwak et al., 2008; Rudovich et al., 2009), although the contribution of IDE to diabetes is controversial (Groves et al., 2003) and other studies have found no relationship (Florez et al., 2006; Qin and Jia, 2008). SORCS1 may also affect insulin levels and the risk of diabetes (Clee et al., 2006; Goodarzi et al., 2007; Lane et al., 2010). Diabetes and insulin resistance are also more prevalent in persons with Down syndrome (Fonseca et al., 2005). "
Article: Candidate genes for Alzheimer's disease are associated with individual differences in plasma levels of beta amyloid peptides in adults with Down syndrome[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We examined the contribution of candidates genes for Alzheimer's disease (AD) to individual differences in levels of beta amyloid peptides in adults with Down syndrom, a population at high risk for AD. Participants were 254 non-demented adults with Down syndrome, 30-78 years of age. Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid was genotyped using an Illumina GoldenGate custom array. We used linear regression to examine differences in levels of Aβ peptides associated with the number of risk alleles, adjusting for age, sex, level of intellectual disability, race and/or ethnicity, and the presence of the APOE ε4 allele. For Aβ42 levels, the strongest gene-wise association was found for a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on CAHLM1; for Aβ40 levels, the strongest gene-wise associations were found for SNPs in IDE and SOD1, while the strongest gene-wise associations with levels of the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio were found for SNPs in SORCS1. Broadly classified, variants in these genes may influence amyloid precursor protein processing (CALHM1, IDE), vesicular trafficking (SORCS1), and response to oxidative stress (SOD1).

- "Retromer was first identified to sort VPS10 from endosome back to the TGN in yeast [123]. Recent studies have identified some retromer interacting proteins including SORL1 [124] and BACE1 [125]. Suppression of VPS35 expression decreases BACE1 trans-Golgi localization and retains BACE1 in the endosome, the optimal environment for BACE1 activity. "
ABSTRACT: The beta-amyloid (Abeta) peptide has been postulated to be a key determinant in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Abeta is produced through sequential cleavage of the beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP) by beta- and gamma-secretases. APP and relevant secretases are transmembrane proteins and traffic through the secretory pathway in a highly regulated fashion. Perturbation of their intracellular trafficking may affect dynamic interactions among these proteins, thus altering Abeta generation and accelerating disease pathogenesis. Herein, we review recent progress elucidating the regulation of intracellular trafficking of these essential protein components in AD.Molecular Neurodegeneration 01/2014; 9(1):6.

Rheumatoid Arthritis
By Elaine Stillerman, LMT
It was supposed to be a Sunday like any other Sunday: get up, go to the gym, do the shopping and chores, and enjoy the rest of the day with my son. Except on this June morning, I couldn't get out of bed.I put one foot down and the pain shot down from my knee to my toes. It was the same with the other leg. And both arms: pain, stiffness, swelling, and fire from elbows to fingers. All the connective tissues and articulations were inflamed. I recently had some dental work and thought that I was having an allergic reaction to the inlay. But that wasn't it at all.
My doctor suspected acute onset rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which blood tests later confirmed. For someone who has been practicing yoga since my teen years (let's not count how long ago that is) and works out regularly, this felt so wrong. The doctor prescribed heavy doses of prednisone which put out the fire and helped ease the stiffness, but this nasty drug has awful side effects and cannot be used long term.
RA & the Immune System
Generally affecting people 20-50 years of age, the cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown although there are a number of viable theories. RA is considered to be, by Western standards, an autoimmune disease. In RA patients, the immune system seems to attack body cells that are mistaken to be invader cells. Elevated levels of white blood cells are present within the synovial membranes that line the body's joints. This results in swelling, pain, and limited mobility. Over time, joints can become deformed and rheumatoid nodules, or small lumps, may grow under the skin at pressure points.
In more serious cases, RA can also affect other body parts such as tear ducts, salivary glands, the lining of the heart, the lungs, and sometimes blood vessels. Women are two to three times more likely to get rheumatoid arthritis than men and the rates for women are increasing. After nearly four decades of steady decline, the tide has turned and the numbers are rising. From 1985 to 1994, 36.4 per 100,000 women suffered from this debilitating condition. In 1995 to 2004, that number rose to 54 per 100,000 women. The incidence for men, however, stayed the same. And no one can explain why.
At the turn of the 20th century, rheumatoid-like conditions (i.e. ankylosing spondylitis) were considered to be venereal diseases. A few short years later, urinary infections were deemed to be the cause. By the time steroids transformed treatment, these causes were largely debunked.
"Immunological crossreactivity" is currently the leading theory of RA. This view reinforces the autoimmune nature of the disease. Infectious agents are considered to be the major environmental factors involved in the inflammatory process. The production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, seems to have a major part in the inflammatory response. But the actual triggering mechanism is still unknown.
Other possible causes include hormonal factors which may explain the heightened risk factors for women. Reduced childbearing and breastfeeding (which seem to be contradictory) are associated with elevated prolactin levels.
In addition, there may be a genetic component to RA, abnormal bowel permeability, environmental and lifestyle factors, food allergies, and microorganisms all which lead to a multidimensional disease where any combination of factors may be culpable.
Treatment: Western vs. Eastern Thought
So how does Western medicine treat this painful, debilitating disease? Since the cause is unknown, standard medical therapy works by treating the symptoms - often times successfully. Aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are often well tolerated and inexpensive.
If these drugs are not effective, corticosteroids are prescribed, with prednisone the most frequently prescribed oral corticosteroid. This drug is very effective in the short term in reducing the inflammatory response, but long-term use generally causes more harmful side effects than benefits. Long-term use suppresses the natural production of the corticosteroids by the adrenal glands, and sudden withdrawal of the drugs may lead to collapse, coma and death. Other side effects, over a protracted period of time, may include: depression and other mental/emotional disturbances (this occurs in 57 percent of patients being treated with high doses of prednisone over a long period of time); high blood pressure; diabetes; peptic ulcers; acne; excessive facial hair in women; insomnia; muscle cramps and weakness; thinning and weakening of the skin; osteoporosis; and increased susceptibility to the formation of blood clots.
Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), such as hydroxychloroquine, gold therapy penicillamine, etc., are used to slow joint erosion, but their effectiveness is still unproven. One drug that has proven to be effective in delaying joint damage and reducing the inflammation is methotrexate, a drug commonly prescribed for breast cancer and severe psoriasis. This drug works by inhibiting the body's ability to use folic acid which is required for cell production (which is why it is used in instances of cancer.). In RA, the dosage is much lower than for cancer patients, but the side effects still may include gastrointestinal ulceration and bleeding; mouth and throat ulcers; hair loss; bone marrow suppression; liver, lung, and kidney damage; increased rate of infections; and higher risk for developing cancer.
Dietary considerations are strongly implicated in cases of RA. Some doctors posit that certain diets might even cause RA. It is interesting to note that the incidence of RA is practically non-existent in cultures and societies that eat a more "primitive" diet while it is found at a high rate in societies that eat a Western diet. A diet rich in whole foods, grains, vegetables and fiber and low in refined foods, sugar, and meat provides the best protection against developing RA. A vegetarian diet showed a substantial reduction in inflammation in many patients tested.
Another interesting factor in the development of RA is altered gastrointestinal gut flora. This is linked not only to RA, but other autoimmune diseases as well. Improper digestion is also suspect. Many patients with RA are deficient in digestive factors such as HCl and pancreatic enzymes resulting in incomplete digestion.
The Eastern interpretation of rheumatoid arthritis is quite different than the allopathic point of view. Arthritis is considered to be a "bi-syndrome" (pronounced "bee") which is a disorder resulting from blocked energy channels, the sluggishness of qi and blood circulation after wind, cold, dampness or heat. The symptoms of bi-syndrome are pain, numbness and heaviness of muscles, tendons and joints, joint swelling, hotness, and limited range of motion.
The wind-dampness-heat type of bi-syndrome is differentiated from the wind-cold-dampness type by its joint redness, swelling, hotness, and pain. An acupuncturist can determine the type of bi-syndrome it is and either disperse the wind and cold, dredge the meridians, and eliminate the dampness, or warm the meridians, disperse the wind and cold, and eliminate the dampness.
Chinese herbs may also be prescribed to support the related organs, nourish the blood and connective tissues, and eliminate the inflammation.
Massage & RA
Massage is never performed in cases of acute inflammatory RA, but can be very effective once the inflammation is controlled. A study by Field, Hernandez-Reif, Seligman, et al (1997) with children with mild to moderate juvenile RA showed that after the parents massaged their children 15 minutes a day for 30 days and a control group practiced relaxation therapy, the massaged group reported less stress and anxiety, less pain, and improved motor activities.
After including regular acupuncture, chiropractic care, dietary restrictions, herbal remedies, and stretching as part of my treatment along with proper medication, I am back on track. Perhaps not as agile and fluid as I once was (who is?), but I've got it under control. And I hope that this episode was my only one...one can hope.
Author note: I want to say a special "thank you" to Kellie White, senior editor, and Kelly Milford, editor, Elsevier Publishing, for their help in researching this article.

Cash reward for missing parrot that loves Doritos and bald men
Published at 11:50, Wednesday, 19 March 2014
It's not every day that an eccentric parrot goes missing in Carlisle...
But the owner of Rocky, a five-year-old African grey, is so determined to be reunited with her beloved pet that she's offering a £200 reward to anybody who makes it happen.
The cheeky bird escaped after his owner Kizzie McLeod's partner accidentally left the back door of their home in Baird Road, Harraby, open, early on Monday afternoon. The parrot was last seen gliding over the rooftops towards New Harraby.
"I've had Rocky for six months but I love him to bits," said Kizzie, 27, who has recently finished a degree in social work. "The house is so quiet without him.
"I'd just gone out of the back door and into to the garden, and my partner Tony Lindsay had followed me out. I heard a loud squawk as Rocky slipped out of the door. I think he was looking for me. It was quite windy and I saw him go up really high, and fly off over the rooftops.
"I was shouting to him at the top of my voice."
Anybody who does find Rocky will have little trouble identifying him – thanks to his unique personality.
Kizzie said: "He talks quite a bit – one of his favourite words is the name Jimmy.
"He says 'Jimmy come here.' He loves men – particularly any man with a bald head. He's been known to swoop down and land on them.
"I think his first owner was a man called Jimmy, who I think was bald.
"Rocky's favourite snack is Doritos tortilla chips, but at breakfast he has a cracker with butter on and at tea-time mashed potatoes.
"If somebody could ring me when they see him, I'd go out with a packet of Doritos and he'd probably come to me.
"If somebody does find him, I'd personally go round there and kiss them to death! Rocky is a unique personality and I miss him so much."
Anybody who sees Rocky should contact Kizzie on Carlisle 527989.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - It wasn't the Columbus homecoming that Rick Nash envisioned.
In the end, though, he said it worked out fine.
Derick Brassard and Derek Stepan scored third-period goals, and Henrik Lundqvist made 25 saves to lead the New York Rangers to a 3-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night.
"I knew it was going to be a playoff atmosphere," Nash said of his return to Columbus, where he starred for nine seasons before asking to be traded. "I wouldn't expect to push their goalie to start a fight and then to be in a fight myself. But the two points were huge. That's what we needed."
Nash, the Columbus franchise leader in goals, assists and games, was given a standing ovation during a video tribute in the first period. He ended up vilified after a second-period, two-handed shove up high on Columbus goalie Sergei Bobrovsky.
"They gave me my standing ovation. It means a lot," said Nash, who still has a residence in Columbus. "They love their Blue Jackets. We talked (before the game) about it being half boos and half cheers. Then it was 90 percent boos. But we got the points, so that's what mattered."
Nash said his shove of Bobrovsky was justified because the goalie had whacked at him a couple of times in the first period and then had knocked his stick aside as he went to pick it up.
The Blue Jackets disagreed.
"He took a cheap shot at our goalie," said Matt Calvert, who fought Nash at mid-ice 12 seconds into the third period. "He had to pay for what he did. It was a gutless move."
On a rush, Nash muscled the puck into the net after making contact with Bobrovsky. The goal was disallowed due to goalie interference.
As Nash went to get his stick, Bobrovsky picked it up with his stick and then dropped it as Nash reached for it. Nash then hit Bobrovsky high with both hands, touching off five two-man scuffles and sending Nash to the box for roughing.
Brassard, who played his first five NHL seasons with the Blue Jackets, broke a 1-1 tie with a nifty goal with 8:29 remaining.
He corralled a pass along the back wall from defenseman Anton Stralman, who had two assists, and flipped the puck between his legs to the doorstep. Brassard then pivoted and jammed a shot in off Bobrovsky's pad.
"I was just trying to put the puck in front of the net," said Brassard, traded to New York in the Blue Jackets' deadline deal for Marian Gaborik a year ago. "I caught him off guard. I was just happy to put it in."
Carl Hagelin added an empty-net goal for the Rangers, who moved two points ahead of the Blue Jackets in the tight Metropolitan Division and Eastern Conference playoff races.

Translucent Fruit Paintings by Dennis Wojtkiewicz
This is a photorealistic oil paining of a lime, by Dennis Wojtkiewicz. It looks like a photo of a thing slice of lime, set it on edge, with a bright light shining through to show the dark cells within the yellow - green fruit. Perfect symmetry. It reminds me of a church Stained Glass Window.

Ever since I was a child, I had visions of my perfect kitchen: a huge window over the sink, tall white ceilings and a beautiful display of stained glass windows. I think the idea of sunlight shining in through the rosettes of a lime, lemon and grapefruit is simply gorgeous and a minimal yet colorful touch for my all-white kitchen.

Shoot with Jamecia-cool idea. Maybe with face on face double exposure? With makeup & without? Smiling/screaming...?
How did they do that? Is it a tattoo or overlay in photoshop?
awesome idea for self portrait!

Cool picture idea
shadow photography. i like the illusion of the image being captured in this image. It makes you think on how they manipulate this kind of idea on how they put the shadow without stepping into the shoes and also I considered it as a advertising photography because of the name of the product that is being used.
Really cool photo idea!
Ghost Shoes - great shot ... reflections ...? So cool tho.
