|A review on the mechanism of sore throat in tonsillitis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23317998 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Background: Sore throat is a common condition associated with acute upper respiratory tract infection, and recurrent episodes of infection may result in chronic tonsillitis. The current UK and USA guidelines for tonsillectomy use the incidence of sore throat episodes as an indication for surgery. However, the mechanism of sore throat is poorly described in the literature. Objectives: This review will provide basic information for the clinician regarding: the causes, pathophysiology and neurophysiology of sore throat; the mechanism of inflammation; and the role of transient receptor potential ion channels as nociceptors involved in sore throat. The review will present new ideas on the mechanism of ice therapy as an analgesic for post-tonsillectomy pain, and the role of vanilloid and cold receptors.

The Palace of Cepheus. A room in the women's apartments. Praxilla to her enters Diomede.
O Praxilla, Praxilla!
So thou art back thou tall inutility? Where wert thou lingering all this hour? I am tired of always whipping thee. I will hire thee out to a timber-merchant to carry logs from dawn to night-fall. Thou shalt learn what labour is.
Praxilla, O Praxilla! I am full to the throat with news. I pray you, rip me open.
She advances towards her with an uplifted knife.
DIOMEDE (escaping)
A plague! Can you not appreciate a fine metaphor when you hear it? I never saw so prosaic a mortal. The soul in you was born of a marriage between a saucepan and a broomstick.
Tell me your news. If it is good, I will excuse you your whipping.
I was out on the beach thinking to watch the seagulls flying and crying in the wing amidst the surf dashing and the black cliffheads –
And could not Poseidon turn thee into a gull there among thy natural kindred? Thou wert better fitted with that shape than in a reasonable human body.
Oh then you shall hear the news tell itself, mistress, when the whole town has chewed it and rechewed it.
She is going.
Stop, you long-limbed impertinence. The news!
I'll be hanged if I tell you
You shall be whipped, if you do not.
Well, your goddess switch is a potent divinity. A ship with men from the East has broken on the headland below the temple and two Chaldeans are saved alive for the altar.
This is glorious news indeed.
It will be a great day when they are sacrificed!
We have not had such since the long galley from Cnossus grounded upon our shores and the temple was washed richly with blood and the altar blushed as thickly with hearts of victims as the King's throne with rubies. Poseidon was pleased that year and the harvest, was so plentiful, men were brought in from beyond the hills to reap it.
There would have been a third victim, but Prince Iolaus drew sword on the priest Polydaon to defend him.
I hope this is not true.
I saw it.
Is the wild boy
In love with ruin? Not the King himself
Can help him if the grim sacrificant
Demand his fair young head: Only a god
Could save him. And he was already in peril
From Polydaon's gloomy hate!
And Phineus'.
Hush, silly madcap, hush; or speak much lower:
Here comes my little queen of love, stepping
As daintily as a young bird in spring
When he would take the hearts of all the forest.
Andromeda enters.
You have slept late, Andromeda.
Have I?
The sun had risen in my dreams: perhaps
I feared to wake lest I should find all dark
Once more, Praxilla.
He has risen in your eyes,
For they are full of sunshine, little princess.
I have dreamed, Diomede, I have dreamed.
What did you dream?
I dreamed my sun had risen.
He had a face like the Olympian Zeus
And wings upon his feet. He smiled upon me,
Dreams are full of stranger fancies.
Why, I myself have seen hooved bears, winged lions,
And many other monsters in my dreams.
My sun was a bright god and bore a flaming sword
To kill all monsters.
I think I've seen today
Your sun, my little playmate.
No, you have not.
I'll not have any eyes see him but mine:
He is my own, my very own.
And yet
I saw him on the wild sea-beach this morning.
What mean you, Diomede?
DIOMEDE (to Andromeda)
You have not heard?
A ship was flung upon the rocks this morning
And all her human burden drowned.
It was a marvellous sight, my little playmate,
And made my blood with horror and admiration
Run richer in my veins. The great ship groaned
While the rough boulders shrieks went tumbling down
Mid laughters of the surge, strangled 'twixt' billows
O r torn by strips upon the savage rocks
T hat tossed their mangled bodies back again
I nto the cruel keeping of the surge.
O do not tell me any more! How had you heart
To look at what I cannot bear to hear?
For while you spoke, I felt as if the rocks
Were tearing my own limbs and the salt surge
Chocking me.
I suppose it must have hurt them.
Yes, it was pitiful. Still, 'twas a sight.
Meanwhile the deep surf boomed their grandiose dirge
With fierce triumphant voices. The whole scene
Was like a wild stupendous sacrifice
Offered by the grey-fileted grim suges
On the gigantic altar of the rocks
To the calm cliffs seated like gods above.
Alas, the unhappy men, the poor drowned men
Who had young children somewhere whom they loved,
How could you watch them die! Had I been a god,
I would not let this cruel thing have happened.
Why do you weep for them? They were not Syrians.
Not they, but barbarous jabbering foreigners
Form Indus or Arabia. Fie, my child,
You sit upon the floor and weep for these?
When Iolaus fell upon the rocks
From Indus or Arabia. Fie, my child,
You sit upon the floor and weep for these?
When Iolaus fell upon the rocks
And hurt himself, you did not then forbid me
To weep!
He is your brother. That was loving,
Tender and right.
And these men were not brothers?
They too had sisters who will feel as I should
If my dear brother were to die so wretchedly.
Let their own sisters weep for them: we have
Enough of our own sorrows. You are young.
And softly made: because you have yourself
No griefs, but only childhood's soon-dried tears,
You make a luxury of others' woe.
So when we watch a piteous tragedy,
We grace with real tears its painted sorrows.
When you are older and have true things to weep for,
Then you will understand.
I'll not be older!
I will not understand! I only know
That men are heartless and your gods most cruel.
I hate them!
Hush, Hush! You know not what you say,
You must not speak such things, Come, Diomede,
Tell her the rest.
ANDROMEDA (covering her ears with her hands)
I will not hear you.
DIOMEDE (kneeling by her and drawing her hands away)
But I
Will tell you of your bright sungod.
He is not
My sungod or he would have saved them.
He did
ANDROMEDA (leaping to her feet)
Then tell me of him.
Suddenly there dawned
A man, a vision, a brightness, who descended
From where I know not, but to me it seemed
That the blue heavens just then created him
Out of the sunlight. His face and radiant body
Aspired to copy the Olympian Zeus
And wings were on his feet.
He was my sungod!
He caught two drowning wretches by the robe
And drew them safe to land.
He was my sungod!
Diomede, I have seen him in my dream.
I think it was Poseidon come to take
His tithe of all that death for the ancient altar,
Lest all be engulfed by his grey billows, he
Go quite unhonoured.
Hang up your grim Poseidon!
This was a sweet and noble face all bright
With manly kindness.
Oh I know, I know.
Where went he with those rescued?
Why, just then
Prince Iolaus and his band leaped forth
And took them.
ANDROMEDA (angrily)
Wherefore took them? By what right?
To die according to our Syrian law
On dark Poseidon's altar.
They shall not die.
It is a shame, a cruel cold injustice.
I wonder that my brother had any part in it!
My sungod saved then, they belong to him,
Not to your hateful gods. They are his and mine,
I will not let you kill them.
Why, they must die
And you will see it done, my little princess,
You shall! Where are you going?
Let me go.
I do not love you when you talk like this.
But you are Syria's lady and must appear
At these high ceremonies.
I had rather be
A beggar's daughter who devours the remnants
Rejected from your table, than reign a queen
Doing such cruelty.
Little passionate scold!
You mean not what you say. A beggar's daughter!
You? You who toss about if only a rose-leaf
Crinkle the creamy smoothness of your sheets,
And one harsh word lings weeping broken-hearted
As if the world had no more joy in store.
You are a little posturer, you make
A theatre of your own mind to act in,
Take parts, declaim such childish rhetoric
As that you speak now. You a beggar's daughter!
Come, listen what became of your bright sungod.
Him too they would have seized, but he with steel
Opposed and tranquil smiling eyes appalled them.
Then Polydaon came and Phineus came
And bade arrest the brilliant god. Our Prince,
Seized by his glory, with his virgin point
Resisted their assault.
My Iolaus!
All suddenly the stranger's lifted shield
Became a storm of lightnings. Dawn was blinded:
Far promontories leaped out in the blaze,
The surges were illumined and the horizon
Answered with light.
ANDROMEDA (clapping her hands)
O glorious! O my dream!
You tell the actions of a mighty god,
A god he seemed to us, Praxilla.
The soldiers ran in terror. Polydaon
Went snorting off like a black whale harpooned,
And even Phineus fled.
Was he not killed?
I wish he had been killed.
This is your pity!
ANDROMEDA (angrily)
I do not pity tigers, wolves and scorpions.
I pity men who are weak and beasts that suffer.
I thought you loved all men and living things.
Perhaps I would have loved him like my hound
Or the lion in the park who lets me pat his mane;
But since he would have me even without my will
To foul with his beast touch, my body abhors him.
Fie, fie! You speak too violently. How long
Will you be such a child?
Our Iolaus
And that bright stranger then embraced. Together
They left the beach.
Where, where is Iolaus?
Why is he long in coming? I must see him.
I have a thousand things to ask.
She runs out.
She is
A strange unusual child, my little playmate.
None can help loving her, she is in charm
Compelling: but her mind is wry and warped.
She is not natural, not sound in fancy.
But made of wild uncurbed imaginations,
With feelings as unruly as winds and waves
And morbid sympathies. At times she talks
Strange childish blasphemies that make me tremble.
She would impose her fancies on the world
As better than the eternal laws that rule us!
I wish her mother had brought her up more strictly.
For she will come to harm.
Oh, do not say it!
I have seen no child in all our Syria like her,
None her bright equal in beauty. She pleases me
Like days of sunlight rain when spring caresses
Warmly the air. Oh, here is Iolaus.
Is it he?
I know him by the noble strut
He has put on ever since they made him captain.
Andromeda comes running.
My brother comes! I saw him from the terrace.
Enters Iolaus. Andromeda runs and embraces him.
Oh, Iolaus, have you brought him to me?
Where is my sungod?
In heaven, little sister.
Oh, do not laugh at me. I want my sungod
Whose face is like the grand Olympian Zeus'
And wings are on his fee. Where did you leave him
After you took him from our rough sea-beaches?
What do you mean, Andromeda?
Some power
Divine sent her a dream of that bright strength
Which shone by you on the sea-beach today,
And him she calls her sungod.
Is it so?
My little wind-tossed rose Andromeda!
I shall be glad indeed if Heaven intends this.
Where is he?
Do you not know, little rose-sister,
The great gods visit earth by splendid moments
And then are lots to sight? Come, do not weep;
He is not lost to Syria.
Why did you take the two poor foreign men
And give them to the priest? My sungod saved them,
Brother, – what right had you to kill?
My child,
I only did my duty as a soldier,
Yet grieve I was compelled.
Now will you save them?
But they belong to dread Poseidon now!
What will be done to them?
They must be bound
On the god's altar and their livings hearts
Ripped from their blood-choked breasts to feed his hunger.
Andromeda covers her face with her robe.
Grieve not for them: they but fulfil their fate.
These things are in the order of the world
Like plagues and slaughters, famines, fires and earthquakes,
Which when they pass us by killing their thousands,
We should not weep for, but be grateful only
That other souls than the dear heads we loved
Have perished.
You will not save them?
Unhappy girl!
It is impiety to think of it.
Fie! Would you have your brother killed for your whimsies?
Will you not save them, brother?
I cannot, child.
Then I will.
She goes out.
Does she mean it?
Such wild caprices
Are always darting through her brain.
I could not take
Poseidon's wrath upon my head!
Forget it
As she will too. Her strange imaginations
Flutter awhile among her golden curls,
But soon wing off with careless flight to Lethe.
Medes enters.
What is it, Medes?
The King, Prince Iolaus,
Requires your presence in his audience-chamber.
So? Tell me, Medes, is Poseidon's priest
In presence there?
He is and full of wrath.
Go, tell them I am coming.
Medes goes out.
Fear not.
I have a strength the grim intriguers dream not of.
Let not my sister hear this, Diomede.
He goes.
What may not happen? The priest is dangerous,
Poseidon may be angry. Let us go
And guard our child from peril of this shock.
They go.

Mavericks lose to Philadelphia, 100-98
The Mavericks made a valiant comeback and had a chance to win the game or force overtime, but couldn't convert at the buzzer and took a 100-98 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers Tuesday night at Wells Fargo Arena.
The Maverics had five consecutive turnovers in the middle of the fourth quarter to fall behind by 10. They fought back and Vince Carter's offensive rebound and layup pulled them within 100-98. They got the ball back and O.J. Mayo drew a foul with 2.7 seconds left. He missed the first free throw, then intentionally missed the second.
Jae Crowder got the rebound on the perimeter, but his jumper banked off the glass and rim and fell away harmlessly.
The Mavericks lost for the second time in a row. They are 7-8 going into Wednesday's game at Chicago.

Well, presumably it means that your browser client is saying that your server host is not found, when it tries to submit the form. So your jsp never gets to run in the first place, so nothing you could do on your server would help, right?

Hi Serena! I'm sorry this product wasn't your favorite. We've found it works well for lip balm, as seen in this Making Lip Balm Soap Queen TV episode. Adding more soft oils to your recipe, like sweet almond oil, may help them twist up easier. I'll be emailing you personally to resolve this issue!

How to distribute different objects around the circle in Illustrator...
First part | Second part | Third part
..or how to distribute different objects around circle. Part 3.
Sometime we need to distribute different objects on circle and now we will see how to do it.
I won't repeat again how to distribute objects around a circle - you can always find it in the first part of this sequence. We need to create something like this:
Open Symbols panel - we will need it (Window - Symbols). Take some vector object and drug-and-drop them to "New symbol" icon on the Symbols panel.
Drug-and-drop two instances of any object to the work space and select both of them.
Go to Object - Blend - Blend Options. Dialog window will appear. Select "Specific steps" and set value "10 (..or any other)".
Go to Object - Blend - Make (or Alt+Ctrl+B).
Select our object (scissors) and circle. Go to Object - Blend - Replace Spine.
You will see this:
Take "Scissors Tool" and click right in the center of the top object.
Go to Object - Blend - Reverse Spine.
Go to Object - Blend - Expand.
Now let's ungroup objects.
Next step - we need to replace "scissors" symbol with other symbols (we prepared them before).
- Select any instance of the "scissors" symbol
- Select other symbol on the "Symbols" panel (I selected red shopping trolley), just click it
- Press small, black triangle to see "Symbol window options"
- Select option "Replace symbol"
Repeat steps with other "scissors" symbol instances
I hope this tutorial was helpful.
Thank you for reading this and good luck!

|My neighbor (USMCWR) and I wrote a letter of complaint to PBS, regarding the lack of coverage of military service women -- only a fiew oblique references with no context and 1 interview with an Army nurse. Now some may argue that Burns couldn't cover everything, but he seemed to cover everything except the military women. Also some might think well, they weren't in combat and just were sitting behind typewritters-- how wrong this is. As the author of the only military history of women in WWII, here are a few facts:
-- nurses were in on the first assault landings in N. Africa and at Anzio; hospitals were bombed and strafed consistently; evac planes were attacked; hospital and transport ships were torpedoed--the first WACS arrived in N. Africa after being rescued off a torpedoed ship and after they rescued sailors.
-- women CG Auxiliary crew and Civil Air Patrol pilots conducted anti-U-boat patrols off the E. Coast
-- US women merchant mariners signed on as crew on Norwegian ships in exile in NYC, after being "beached" by FDR and the USMM after 12/7/41
-- US women were resistance workers in France and the Philippines--a couple running lines that aided hundreds of downed fliers; aiding guerrilla groups and POWs. Two in the Philippines were imprisoned and tortured, with one joining the CG after release. About 1/2 doz. were awarded Medals of Freedom and one OSS agt. in France earned the Distringuished Service Cross.
-- Mary Sears, the head of the Navy's oceanographic unit, picked the landing sites for the Philippines and Okinawa.
Otherwise, I loved "The War" even though some friends thought parts tedious. Someday someone will cover the disasters on the homefront during the war: the E. Coast 1944 hurricane, the Mississippi floods, the Cleveland gas co. fire that killed more than 100, the Port Chicago explosions, etc.
And BTW, the facts of the US internment were not totally correct. Following Pearl Harboar, Japanese submarines shelled locations on the W. Coast. Areas were designated military sensitive from which all Germans, Italians, and Japanese families were removed--the first 2 groups just being told to leave, the Japanese being carted away to camps. Due to political pressure after about 6 months the Germans and Italians were allowed to return except that some real suspects were interned in camps in the West. Ironically Exec Order 9066 (?) was issued in response to the Roberts Commission report that alleged that the Japanese fleet was aided by Japanese on Oahu. Ironically the Japanese in HI were not removed. One scholar feels that the reason the W. Coast Japanese were hit hard was because unlike the Germans and Italians they had no ethnic groups in other areas of the country to lobby on their behalf, as the E. Coast groups did for the Germans and the Italians. Of course, the German Bund was well known and active in the N Y area prior to the war.

FANTASTIC!! Though I hope we can get Mega Man X1 released too for PAL territories.
Mario Kart 7 for me this Friday. I can't wait!! I'd love to play against some of the NintendoLife forum players. We'll have to give out friend codes and hook up some time.
@ThumperUK. If your wanting to downlaod Axelay go to the wii system settings and change your region to either Australia or New Zealand and you'll be able to download Axelay. I was mad that Konami didnt release Axelay on the European VC until someone on NintendoLifes forums gave me this info for us Europeans to download Axelay. Come on Nintendo we havent had a wii vc title in ages us Europeans. Im still waiting for Mega Man X1!!
What a mess!! Makes the 3DS look like a right hulking piece of equipment. Nintendo you've messed up big time! Nintendo when you come to releasing the new model of the 3DS with 2 analogue nubs I want one for free! You can have your free 20 VC games and give all early adopters like myself of the 3DS a new model when released. I've always stood by Nintendo but after the Wii, 3DS and the upcoming Wii-U, I dont think i'll bother with you anymore if things dont rapidly change.
Nintendo haven't even got a clue how to manage the e-shop. No new 3DS VC this week again and how long ago is it since we've seen a Wii VC release? The 10 free games we got last week were just okay but there really wasn't a excuse not to have the save feature already up and running with them, it surely cant be that difficult to implement. Makes playing games like Metriod and Zelda unplayable due not been able to save your quest. It's seriously going down hill for Nintendo. The 3DS is flopping badly and I can see the Wii-U doing the same.

These are the games i'd like to see get released on the 3DS's VC for the NES. I know most are highly unlikely due to licensing issues and etc but it would be nice if Nintendo made a effort to release other games like these on the 3DS VC, i'm sure they can. I already own most of Nintendo's 1st party games due to still owning my NES, plus downloadiong the ones I hadn't off of the Wii's VC. I just hope Nintendo doesn't just release all the games that are on the Wii's VC for NES straight over the the 3DS VC.
Could this be the fall of Nintendo? I really hope not! With what I've read and saw of the Wii U at E3 my impressions of it aren't very optimistic. I think Nintendo should pull the plug on the Wii U get back in the drawing room and come up with something else and to start listening to their loyal fans. I'm hoping the price drop of the 3DS do start bringing sales back up, as I do think its a great piece of hardware which I'm really enjoying at the moment. Its just a lot of the 3rd party developers are still really unsure about the Wii U and no real big players have come up to the front saying there's big name franchises coming to the system, also how Nintendo handles their online services are terrible. These are dark times indeed for Nintendo and I think if Nintendo don't radically shake themselves we could see another Sega incident where Nintendo become a publisher only.
I like the look of the Game & Watch Gallery, may purchase this come Thursday but where in the hell are our Wii VC games? Been like 6 weeks and still no Wii VC release here in Europe. Come on Nintendo lets see some Wii VC releases next week as well as some Game Gear games on the 3DS VC.
"Happy Birthday Sonic"! Can't believe it's 20 years since the blue blur was released upon us. I'll always remember the first time booting up sonic on the Mega Drive and Sonic running across the screen followed by the Sega sign, then pressing start on the title screen and hearing the Green Hill Zone music. Classic!!
Also everyone go onto YouTube and type in "MegaDriver Green Hill Zone", check the guy out playing a metal version of Green Hill Zone and check out that AWESOME guitar! Cant believe he managed to turn a Mega Drive into a actual guitar lol. Pure genius!
Whooo Hoooo!! Can't wait to get my hands on Double Dragon tomorrow and I may give Radar Mission a go. Now Nintendo please release Kirby's Dream Land next week and hurry up with getting Mega Man X on the European Wii VC.
Actually I think I may have been a bit harsh on Nintendo there, as they are releasing Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time here in the UK tomorrow. Which will be landing through my post box tomorrow . So I see why Nintendo may not want to put a couple of 3DS VC games out.
Like a lot of you have said on your posts, it is disappointing that Nintendo haven't released some of the content America has on their e-shop. I was hoping for the 3D trailers and was hoping for a few more VC games to be released like either the 3D version of Xevious, Kirby's Dream Land and Mega Man, which are all released on the Japanese e-shop or Radar Mission which is on the American e-shop. Surely Nintendo could have at least chucked in one of those games as well as Donkey Kong on the European e-shop. Then again its Nintendo where talking about and how they love to screw us Europeans about.
I've had the same problem with the charge light not going out once fully charged, hopefully when I charge it again after this update, it will all be sorted.
Need to get this released on the 3DS VC!! Though I highly doubt it due to who owns all the licences and etc to the Bill And Ted franchise
Its good that Nintendo have released games like Alleyway on the 3DS VC. Ok they might not be perfect games but its the memories and nostalgia it brings back playing those games like you say. I downloaded Tennis here in the UK which to me is a brilliant little game. Also I'm with you on that one about Nintendo releasing some more classics especially Balloon Kid and Golf would be good too. Now for the 3rd party titles lets have Mercenary Force, Fortress Of Fear, Bionic Commando, Kid Dracula and Bolder Dash to name just a few.
As soon as I saw this was getting released in Europe for the 3DS Virtual Console, I had to download it. Brings back fond memories playing this in the early nineties on the original Gameboy. Its just a fun game to pick up and play after all these years and having Mario cameo as umpire is brilliant.
I'm not suprised none of the 3DS games are making the top 40 charts. Nintendo have done a useless job of marketing the 3DS and games here in the UK. Fingers crossed that over the coming months with Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time, Resident Evil Mercenaries and the e-shop all getting released here in the UK over June and July, things will start to pick up, as I think the 3DS is a awesome piece of kit and has lots of potential.
Nice review and worthy of a 10/10. I'm just playing the DS version at the moment but will be downloading it straight away this Friday when it's released here in the UK on the VC, so I can play it on the big screen.
SEGA if your going to be releasing 20 games by next March, then at least make one of those releases Sonic CD. Why this game has never been re-released before is a mystery as it's one of Sonic's best ever platform games. Instead of releasing the same Sonic games on every new piece of hardware that comes out like you have done for the past few years.
The DS version of Chrono Trigger does have cutscenes in it, same as the PS1 version.
Roll on Friday!! Can't wait to get my hands on this game. Also can't believe Nintendo are releasing this a week after we got a VC release here in Europe, we usually have a release ever 2 weeks, not that i'm complaining at all. Thankyou Nintendo for releasing this so soon.
I'm really glad they released this game on the VC, was one of my first games I purchased with my SNES. The game still holds up really well today and brings back some memories. The only niggle I have with this game is the controls aren't the tightest they could be for a platformer but it's only a small niggle and the soundtrack is a absolute classic right from beginning to end.
Thanks for the heads up on that, I will try this when I get back home later.
@Bass_X0 I might have got it wrong but I thought developers like Konami and etc gave the rights to Nintendo to publish their old SNES games like Axelay in which ever regions on the VC they saw fit. Like the upcoming release in Europe of Chrono Trigger on the VC, it was Nintendo who released a statement saying "Nintendo" would be releasing the game on the VC in Europe and not SquareEnix. So that to me sounds like Nintendo has the decision in which games get released in certain regions and not the original game developers, so if that is the case like I said earlier, Nitendo need to get their act together!
@Vinsanity. Ye I also wish Nintendo would get their act together and start releasing games simultaneously worldwide on the VC. I'm still waiting for them to release Axelay here, which you Americans have had for ages on the VC. I can see this also becoming a problem on the 3DS e-shop too. Nintendo should start listening to there fans, as this is the kind of stuff which isn,t helping them at all and making everyone else frustrated. Come on Nintendo get your act together!!
You lucky buggers America, Mega Man X and now Chrono Trigger! Hopefully we should get this in a couple of weeks too. Well have a awesome Monday my American friends.
I can't wait to download this tomorrow, it was one of the first games I got for my Super Nintendo along with Super Mario World. I never managed to complete back in the early 90's so looking forward to having another shot at it.
Ye it's good to start hearing about the 3DS's virtual console, one of the main reasons I invested in a 3DS. These two games sound quite intresting from Jaleco, lets hope that they finally get this service up and running this month, cant wait for some Legend Of Zelda Links Awakning action.
This is most certainly welcoming news. I loved this game back in the NES days and with a lick of paint and 3D visuals I'm certain I will get hours of entertainment. Thanks Nintendo!
Hmm! Looks as though it could be quite a intresting game this, I may purchase it come Friday. Though I was hoping for either Chrono Trigger or Mega Man X to be released this week.
I sure hope we Europeans get Mega man X soon. Never had a chance to play the X series of Megan Man games, so I'm highly looking forward to it hopefully getting released here, so I can see what all the fuss is about.
OH MY GOD!! Thankyou SquareEnix and Nintendo for releasing this so soon in Europe. I can't wait to finally get a chance to play this awesome classic.
OH MY GOD!! Please SquareEnix release this game in both Europe and the US. I've never had chance to play this game before. Hopefully with how kind SquareEnix has been with us Europeans lately, we may see a release here. Fingers crossed!!
Good review corbie! This is the first time i've ever played Final Fantasy III/VI and boy am I impressed! Final Fantasy VII was always my favourite as it was the first time i'd ever played a Final Fantasy game and a RPG. Now after getting a good quater of the way through Final Fantasy III/VI i'm starting to think that this just pips Final Fantasy VII, though I will let you know as soon as i've completed it, if it is better. I highly recommend downloading this game to anyone who has played this game before and to newcomers like myself.
I hope this is true! Though it maens the game must have been translated for a release here in Europe, as it will be un-playable otherwise. Just hope this isn't a April fools joke?

Do you love it??? I think it's pretty amazing. I also got to interview the illustrator, Kazu Kibuishi, last week when he was in New York and asked him all my burning questions. Read on for the interview. . .
Make a BIG difference in your community!
Remember Clifford? Scholastic's favorite big, red dog may be a distant memory (or beloved favorite!), but did you ever think he could inspire to you serve your community? With the BE BIG In You Community Contest, he can!
It's easy to be inspired by his BIG ideas and incorporate them into your life in big and small ways. Whether it's helping your sister with her homework, sharing your favorite book with a friend, or putting your garbage in the bin instead of on the ground, there are lots of ways to BE BIG.

You can enter for a chance to win a $5,000 grant* to bring your BIG idea to life! We're looking for ideas, big and small that can make a difference in your community.
Need inspiration? Check out some of our past winners, young people from all over the country just like you who were inspired by our dog to make a big difference. If you love sports, you could create an athletic group like last year's grand prize winner, Zachary did. He established SNAP, a Special Needs Athletic Program offering sports clinics to children with autism and other disabilities.
In 2010, Will used baseball as inspiration for his winning idea, Hits Against Hunger. Will recruited over 100 elementary age kids to participate in the project and found sponsors to pledge $1 to the food bank for every hit made in their baseball season.
Skyler was only 9 years old when he entered and won the 2009 BE BIG In Your Community contest. Through his winning grant, Skyler created Kids Care Packs and gave them to children in homeless shelters and hospitals throughout San Diego. Kids Care Packs are hand-painted knapsacks filled with school supplies, toiletries, a healthy snack, a book, a toy, and a note of care and friendship.

You know when you find an amazing book, and you never want it to end? How do you find another book to read after that? Our answer: Readalikes to the rescue! We hope our Readalikes will rescue you from the what-to-read-next question, and help you find lots of new amazing books.
Today's Readalikes are for the Inheritance Cycle series by Chistopher Paolini. Eragon is 15 years old when he discovers that he is not just a farm boy. He is a Dragon Rider who is about to be swept into a dangerous adventure that could save or destroy the Empire!
When you think of Ancient Egypt, you may think of pyramids and mummies. But did you also know a lot of today's modern-day conveniences were invented in Ancient Egypt? For instance, Ancient Egyptians invented the first toothbrushes (fine twigs tied together into soft brushes) and toothpaste (the powder of ox hooves, ashes, and pumice)! From mummies to makeup and more, see how much you know – or can guess! – about Ancient Egypt.
Writing Prompt: Books I wish I could read again for the first time
Did you ever read a book that was so good, you almost wish you hadn't finished it . . . so you could read it again for the first time? Only a few books are that special. Harry Potter, The Giver, or The Hunger Games (for ages 12 and up) come to my mind. Not only were they great while I read them, but they had crazy endings, so it would be good not to know before starting to read them!
What about you guys? What are the books YOU think are so good you wish you could read them again for the first time? Let us know in the Comments below!

Authorities searched Friday evening for the person who carjacked a tractor-trailer hauling vehicles, witnesses say.
It started with a tractor-trailer hauling a Hyundai and a Ford 350. Witnesses said the whole convoy was carjacked and when police caught up to it in Cooper City, the carjacker pulled over, jumped out and crawled over a wall.
Gated residents, who were too scared to show their faces on camera, said armed officers were then scouring their streets, stopping traffic in and checking every car on the way out.
"I called my grandson and said, 'Lock the doors,'" said a witness.
"They had to look in the truck to make sure we weren't hiding somebody," said another witness.
More than an hour later, there was no word on what they found, but the all clear was given.
The car and truck were off-loaded and deputies began ramping up their forensic investigation. All of it leaving residents on the other side of the wall spinning, but not surprised.
"It happens everywhere," a witness said.

Alternate title: A Nagy Postarablas
The post office building of a new housing development has almost been completed, but it will be a few weeks before it officially opens. In this crime caper comedy, a few schemers and con-artists wonder what would happen if they "opened" it a week early? A lot of money comes and goes by mail; they could make a killing. They decide to try to pull off this scheme, little suspecting that in the course of it, they will have to cope with a would-be bomber, a postal strike, and a blackmail attempt, as well as the police and the authorities. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Join us as Derek Lane from Thomson-Reuters walks us through some exercises that help drive home Agile concepts. It is not only fun to participate, but perhaps garner some ideas that you can take back to your organization and apply the game concepts there as well.
Users Are From Mars, Developers Are From Klingon
You know it's true. Trying to understand what your users want is sometimes like talking to the wall. Have you ever delivered what you were sure a group of users asked for, only to have them reject it as not even close? Have you ever asked your development team to build you something you thought was clear only to get something that didn't meet half of your needs. This session will leverage some Agile Games to explore techniques designed to help technologists identify with what their users are asking for, and provide some techniques product teams can use to help close the communication gap between users and developers.
Note: This session is hands-on and highly interactive. This session is for any skill set or role that is involved in product development. Due to the format of this session, it will be limited to the first 50 participants who register. The session will last from 6:30 - 8:30 pm.
About Derek
Derek Lane is an Enterprise Architect at Thomson Reuters. He has worn various hats in his career including mentor, coach, architect, manager, developer, trainer, methodologist and all around cool guy. Derek is a contributor to various projects as author, presenter, committer, and technical reviewer.
Derek is the Founder of both the Oklahoma City Java User Group (OKCJUG) and the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas MicroJava User Group; and has been active as a member, presenter, and mentor for over two decades at various technology user groups across the Midwest and Southern US.
Derek can on occasion be found utilizing his background in engineering, Virtual Reality and 3D graphics to think in four or more dimensions - some of which have yet to be independently verified. When not exploring the mind numbing edge of technology, he can be found listening to Bluegrass music and watching old Kung Fu movies - a dangerous combination from any point of view.
This session was the most interesting and educational session I had in meetup so far. Derek is not only a very experienced Agile coach, but also he has this unique skill to make people think. I requested him to play this interactive agile game with my coworkers in Thomson Reuters and we got a wonderful feedback from developers and programmers both !!! Highly appreciate him for investing his time for us. Looking forward for more agile learning from him in his own unique entertaining style.

A very fun presentation and a fun group of participants as well. I liked the higher-level view of the software development process, which is so dependent on communication but is frequently lacking it. The exercises provided an opportunity to think a little differently about how one goes about implementing agile processes. Many thanks to Derek for expanding our perspectives.

Interesting and fun session. Really appreciate the change of pace of doing a agile game oriented session where we participated.

Not sure if I was on Mars or Klingon...in any case the meeting was a blast! I could write an essay on this meeting: embrace the new and unfamiliar; have fun learning; don't be embarrased to ask questions; we pull our teammates along together; create a safe environment to fail; venture out- fail quickly and move on. Bravo!!

Experiencing the flip side of my "normal" user perspective and getting a very real window into what it feels like to be on the receiving end of requirements and user stories that are so foreign was very eye opening and beneficial. It really made me realize ways to better faciliate understanding by having, and trying, new, sometimes more beneficial communication.

Very entertaining and educational at the same time. I appreciate the time invested by Derek to ensure a beneficial meeting.

This was a good time. Wish there was more time to soak in the "techniques" (insert sign language here) involved with the Where Are Your Keys game. Although completely wide-eyed at first, I'm sure I'll continue to have Aha! moments on what I learned last night. :)

We have 10-15 seats left for our event next TUESDAY! Oct 4th and I wanted to see if anyone from the Dallas Scrum group would like to join us - I am sure I can get at least 10 of them complimentary seats....
Contact me if they would be interested and I will take the first 10 or so respondants to the email and give them complimentary seats
Have an Agile Day!

$8.95/3 Days
Kelly Madison, she of the incredible 34FF chest and self-made pornography empire, may seem to be focusing on her sites Porn Fidelity and Teen Fidelity these days, but that doesn't necessarily mean she's neglecting her original self-titled official online presence. Still offering a huge archive of nearly 2,500 scenes and galleries, Kelly's site packs a sharp left hook to your tired notions of lackluster solo pornstar sites. Still, with her Fidelity twin-set being so consistently brilliant, can Kelly's initial venture into online porn maintain its credibility and quality in the HD era? Read on, MILF fan, and find out what's swinging at Kelly Madison dot com. (Beside her massive jugs, that is.)

Mr. Pink's review of Kelly Madison
Review Date - 09/01/2011
Surely we're all now familiar with Kelly Madison, the 34FF-breasted pornstar MILF who turned her inhumanly large tits into one of the adult industry's greatest success stories of the recent years. With her husband Ryan in tow, Kelly has built a mini-empire that now encompasses three stellar websites, Porn Fidelity (on which she and Ryan open their marriage to other pornstars for some three-way action), Teen Fidelity (similar to Porn Fidelity, but with the best barely legal talent in the business) and, of course, Kelly's self-titled official website, Kelly Madison. With a lushly designed tour area that boasts of High Definition videos and high-res photos giving you unprecedented visual access to Kelly's "personal fantasies, members' requests, [her] personal sexual escapades, and hardcore fucking," Kelly's main online endeavor sure seems to represent her well. With Porn Fidelity and Teen Fidelity both recently receiving some of the most fervent praise this reviewer has dished out in quite a while, her solo site is bound to follow suit and be a real blast 'n' a half. You, you're betting $29.95 a month on it, so you'd best pay close attention as we launch ourselves directly at Kelly's infamous, mountainous chest and devour her official site in true Mr. Pink's fashion.
Kelly's official website updates once a week and offers a huge collection of exclusive original productions. With well over 2,400 items sitting in both the photo and video archives, there's so much big-titted porn here you'll be set for life, whether you're looking for masturbation, lesbian scenes, behind-the-scenes footage, or straight-up Kelly and Ryan hardcore sex.
Not one to disregard the impact her legion of fans have had on her career, Kelly maintains a great degree of communication between her and her adoring public through blogs, Q&As, and a wealth of behind-the-scenes material.
Kelly has always employed skilled crew members and that is thankfully still the case. Delivering videos of 960x540 pixel resolutions and photos that hit 1175px and 1728px. everything looks quite clear and present Kelly's incredible body (and those of her pornstar guests) in solid detail.
With content ranging from solo stripteases and toy-assisted masturbation sessions to hardcore fucking with Kelly, Ryan, and plenty of their pornstar pals - Amy Brooke, Angelina Valentine, Mikayla Mendez, Natasha Nice, Isis Taylor, and Jesse Capelli, to name a few - there's ample variety across Kelly's site.
Unlike Teen Fidelity and Porn Fidelity both, High Definition videos have not yet been added to Kelly Madison's solo site. Lingering at the aforementioned 960x540 pixel frame, these videos do look quite good, but could certainly be better.
Neither Teen Fidelity nor Porn Fidelity can be accessed with your Kelly Madison membership, meaning you'll be handing over nearly thirty bucks a month for this site when you could be getting both of the others for the same price.
Reluctant as I am to continue comparing this site to Kelly's other two, it does seem appropriate and, unfortunately, disappointing. Kelly Madison still features the same design scheme it has had for years and appears outdated and unwieldy next to the slick, flashy Porn and Teen Fidelity pages. I was pleased to read an announcement on Kelly's site that a new design is planned for the near future and I am looking forward to taking another look at her re-designed site.
On one hand, Kelly and Ryan Madison have it made: three highly successful adult websites and a devoted fanbase that'll keep coming back to watch them explore the most liberal marriage in porn month after month. Porn Fidelity and Teen Fidelity both recently received extremely high praise from Mr. Pink's, putting Kelly's self-titled site in a bit of a pickle. Without the extremely impressive 1080p videos of her two Fidelity sites and with a design scheme that remains mostly unchanged after years of existence, Kelly Madison (the site) could do with a makeover. The content, which ranges from solo stripping and masturbation scenes to more explicit hardcore couplings with other pornstar babes and her husband, Ryan, is still very enjoyable but could use a bump to HD resolutions. Even better still would be the option to join all three of Kelly and Ryan's sites at a discounted combined price. With Teen Fidelity and Porn Fidelity getting so much attention these days, Kelly's solo site needs a little something extra to keep itself firmly in the picture.

March is National Nutrition Month, and the theme this year is "Enjoy the taste of eating right." Some would complain that they don't like the flavor of foods known to be good for them. And who wants to live on salads or granola bars made of the same ingredients found in bird seed?
One way to cut down the amount of fat, sugar and salt (sodium) you eat is to simply use herbs and spices while cooking.

Dan Loeb and Third Point are increasingly unhappy with Yahoo.
The hedge fund investor says in a new letter to Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson that he feels Yahoo is ignoring his suggestions to join the board and "stonewalling" his attempts to help return Yahoo to a "great company."
"Perhaps naively, I believed that you and the Company would recognize the value to this approach, and we could join forces immediately in this regard," Loeb writes. "Sadly, the Company's reaction since that call can only be described as dismissive."
Last month Loeb suggested three members to join Yahoo's board, which is in the process of dramatic change with the departure of Chairman Roy Bostock, co-founder Jerry Yang and other members. Loeb says those suggestions have only gotten one call each from Yahoo and none of their calls have lasted longer than a half hour.
If that's how Yahoo conducts interviews, Loeb is underwhelmed.
"This perfunctory outreach … is disappointing and indicates an unwillingness on your part to seriously consider the" nominees.
Therefore, Loeb, no muppet, is taking it to the public and says he'll officially propose an alternative proxy.
And now he is suggesting that Gary Wilson, a former CFO at Disney and Marriot and member of Yahoo's board be named chairman for one year.
Loeb leaves Thompson with a stinging warning that the newly appointed CEO should focus his attention on bigger issues.
"In addition, you will have avoided an unnecessary battle with your largest outside shareholder," Loeb writes. "You appear to have enough battles to fight already."
By Gina Chon
Activist investor Dan Loeb of Third Point didn't issue any public statements after Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang stepped down from the board in January.
He also remained mum when Yahoo chairman Roy Bostock and other Yahoo directors said a few weeks later they weren't running for re-election.
Some wondered whether he had decided to give up his threat of a proxy fight, since one of the things he was advocating was to get Yang & Co. off the board.
But Tuesday, Loeb finally revealed his hand.
In an SEC filing, Loeb listed a slate of Yahoo director nominees. It includes Loeb himself, as well as Jeffrey Zucker, former CEO of NBC Universal; Michael Wolf, former president of MTV Networks; and Harry Wilson, chairman of a restructuring company.
Research in Motion Ltd. faced a lot of heat from investors and activists ahead of the decision of longtime leaders Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis to step aside.
The changes at RIM mark the second time a founder of a major technology company has stepped aside in the past week. Yahoo Chairman Jerry Yang walk into the sunset on Tuesday.
But while both companies faced investor criticism ahead of the moves, RIM seems to have plenty of frustrated investors left on Monday.
Hedge-fund manager Daniel Loeb has been busybashing Yahoo's board. But in his spare time, he's been cozying up to Chris Christie as the New Jersey governor weighs a possible presidential run.
Loeb said one of the things he likes about Christie is that "you never have a question about where he stands on anything." Loeb called Christie a "decent, compassionate person," and said the New Jersey governor "cares profoundly about this country."
Daniel Loeb has Yahoo on the brain — and in his color palette.
Investors have been awaiting the hedge-fund investor's remarks at today's Delivering Alpha conference, after Loeb has spent the better part of a week ripping into Yahoo's board of directors. Today, Loeb said Yahoo had "one of the most horrendous management teams…I've seen in 16 years."
Yahoo "hasn't changed since 2004," Loeb said. "It has the same crappy interface and the same stupid logo."
We know Yahoo Chairman Roy Bostock knows how to wield a telephone. After all, he fired Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz last week over the phone.
So in hedge-fund manager Daniel Loeb's latest attack on the company, perhaps it's not surprising that Bostock hung up on one of Yahoo's biggest investors.
"Thank you for taking the time to speak with us by telephone on Monday," Loeb wrote in a letter to Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang. "We are only sorry that we were not able to finish our conversation as a result of Mr. Bostock's abrupt unilateral termination of the call."
Shares of Yahoo perked up 6.1% today after Third Point hedge-fund manager Daniel Loeb disclosed a big stake in the Internet company, and called for members of the board to throw themselves off the purple Yahoo Titanic (without a lifeboat).
As underscored by his flaming word bombs at Yahoo, Loeb is perhaps best known on Wall Street for his poison pen, which he wields like a prison-made shiv. But while sticks and stones may break bones, Loeb's words don't always crack open recalcitrant companies. Nor have Loeb's interventions always brought riches for shareholders.
Third Point, the investment firm run by Daniel Loeb, just disclosed a 5.1% stake in Yahoo, and said the company needs to make sweeping changes to its board.
Third point said the board "has made a number of decisions that have directly harmed the Company," and hurt the stock price. Yahoo, of course, just fired CEO Carol Bartz. Third Point says hiring Bartz in the first place was "widely accepted" as a "serious misjudgment."

Normally a shortstop, Freddy Galvis has played second base and now the outfield flawlessly for the Phillies.
Freddy Galvis made a sliding catch Friday night in left field, a slick diving grab that landed in his glove with the mitt near upside down. For any outfielder, the catch would've been impressive. For Galvis - who just started playing the outfield in spring training - it was remarkable.
The fans let him know it. Chants of "Fred-dy! Fred-dy!" poured from the left-field bleachers. Galvis, just 23, grinned wide when reminded of the cheers.
"A little bit after I made that catch, everybody was doing a chant," Galvis said. "Every time they do it, I feel good." ...

The Mangler Reborndeadmanwalkin
Personally, after part 2, I would of left this series "dead in the water", but it looks like someone has a softer heart than the deadman, because The Mangler is making a direct to DVD comeback with "The Mangler Reborn."
Headlining the cast will be Reggie Bannister (Phantasm) and Aimee Brooks (Monster Man), with filming to begin in British Columbia later this week.
Since this film stars my man Reggie and the fact that Aimee is a hottie, I'll give this movie a shot - couldn't be any worse than 2 now could it?

Lance Cpl. Andrew Englund, a radio operator from Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, patrols through the Nawa District bazaar after conducting a security sweep at Khalaj High School in Nawa, Afghanistan, Sept. 7, 2010. The school year began Sept. 5 and the Marines and their Afghan counterparts throughout 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment's tactical area of responsibility have provided security in Nawa District's schools each day.

The Marines will likely know this summer their role, if any, in the contingency force to remain in Afghanistan after 2014, the commandant of the Marine Corps said this week.
I suspect well know sometime in the next couple of months, Gen. Jim Amos told reporters following a lecture at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C. June 26. It would make sense to try to decide sooner rather than later, so you dont retrograde equipment out of there.
President Barack Obama announced in May that a force of 9,800 troops would remain in Afghanistan for training and counter-terrorism operations for two years following the official conclusion of the U.S. combat mssion at the end of this year. That force, the White House said, would be concentrated at major regional headquarters of Afghanistan in 2015, and would consolidate into Kabul and Bagram in 2016.
With fewer than 4,000 Marines and 13,000 major equipment items remaining in Afghanistan, the post-2014 mission for the Corps remains unclear.
Im going on the assumption right now that the clear bulk of the forces in Helmand and Nimroz will be out by the end of December, Amos said.
Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, the commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan and nominee for next commandant of the Marine Corps, is working now to create the mission sets for U.S. troops and determine the balance of forces.
Meanwhile, Amos said the Marines had done what they set out to accomplish in their area of operations in the south of Afghanistan by beating down the drug trade, quelling Taliban violence, and training the Afghan National Army despite remaining instability and a recent Taliban resurgence in the kinetic Sangin district.
I would argue that weve completed our mission, he said. We will have completed it by the end of this year.

General Maritime Said to Consider Sale of Tankers
General Maritime Corp., the second-largest U.S. owner of oil tankers, may be forced to sell one or more of its vessels to pay $22.8 million of debt due Jan. 18, according to a person with knowledge of the company's plans.
The New York-based company may sell a supertanker or three smaller oil-product carriers to raise funds to meet outstanding obligations to Nordea Bank Finland Plc of Helsinki and DnB Nor Bank ASA of Oslo, said the person, who declined to be named because the plans haven't been made public.
The two lenders agreed on Dec. 14 to extend the due date, originally set for Dec. 15, to Jan. 15, according to a General Maritime filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As Jan. 15 falls on a weekend, the debt will be due on Jan. 18, the day after the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, the person said.
General Maritime's total debt was $1.4 billion at the end of September, or about 74 percent of its total assets, according to Bloomberg data.
Without a rebound in ship prices, the company "could remain under pressure until a longer-term liquidity solution is reached," Michael Webber, senior analyst at Wells Fargo Securities LLC in New York, wrote in a report to clients last month.
The "logical candidates" for sale are tankers without mortgages or debt, the person said. The Genmar Vision, a supertanker built in 2001, currently has no mortgage, according to the company.
Another Extension
General Maritime might request another debt extension if it fails to sell a vessel by Jan. 18, the person said.
"As we have previously disclosed, the company is considering potential asset disposition," said Chief Financial Officer Jeffrey Pribor. "However we won't comment on any particular potential transaction."
Prices of five-year-old supertankers averaged $85.3 million in the week ended Jan. 10, according to the London-based Baltic Exchange. That's down 47 percent from a 2008 high of $162 million. The ships, also known as very large crude carriers, can carry about 2 million barrels of oil.
An 11-year-old VLCC was sold for $55 million in December, according to Wells Fargo's Webber.
"Asset prices are going south," said Basil Karatzas, managing director at ship sale and purchase broker Compass Maritime Services in Fort Lee, New Jersey. "There are not many drivers for now, and supply keeps increasing. Likely more tanker owners will have problems."
General Maritime owns 38 tankers, including seven VLCCs, according to the company. New York-based Overseas Shipholding Group, which operates about 110 ships, is the biggest U.S. tanker owner.
General Maritime fell 5 cents to $3.34, or 1.5 percent, at 11:53 a.m. in the New York Stock Exchange composite trading. Earlier it rose as much as 7 cents to $3.46. The shares have declined 60 percent over the last year.

Simple Knitting
Simple knitting : a complete how-to-knit workshop with 20 projects by Erika Knight ; [photography by Yuki Sugiura] — The "simple" in the title of this book refers to the fact that knitting doesn't have to be difficult, but it also points to the streamlined, unadorned style of these projects. Made from mostly earth-toned yarns and in earth-friendly fibers, these knitted objects have a modern feel.

Welcome to the NCCAM Research Blog
Welcome to NCCAM's new Research Blog. I am excited to have a new place for a dialogue about the complex and interesting issues surrounding the research that the Center is supporting.
We face some complex challenges. Like all of the NIH, our mission is to conduct the highest quality biomedical research to improve the health of the Nation. NCCAM's special charge is to bring rigorous science to the broad array of health practices that have arisen from outside of mainstream medicine. This covers a lot of tough territory! Not surprisingly the conversation about complementary and alternative health practices has often become polarized, with competing views about what makes good sense. I hope to use this blog as a place for a conversation about these challenges.
NCCAM has a strong scientific staff who will also contribute perspectives and common sense insights into the research we are supporting and write about some of the interesting things our investigators are finding. A major focus for our research enterprise is advancing the science and practice of symptom management. In particular, we see opportunities for our research to have a real impact on the management of chronic pain, a topic I plan to discuss a great deal.
I am very proud of the robust and comprehensive information available on our Web site—including our strategic plan outlining our major areas of research focus; our library of health information for consumers, our research spotlights, our resources for the research community, our health care provider and safety portals, and more. We hope you will use these materials and give us your input to ensure they are providing the information the public needs for informed decision making.
We plan to blog at least every other week. We hope you will join us and add your comments to the topics at hand (please read our comment policy). Along with the blog posts, you can receive updates from NCCAM through our bi-weekly e-mail newsletter, RSS feeds, Facebook, and Twitter.
Our work presents some unique challenges as well as exciting opportunities, and we are looking forward to exploring these with you and reading your comments and feedback.
Comments are now closed for this post.
Very excited about this blog and looking forward to starting dialogues
Very interesting indeed can't wait to see more and I will review the information you have suggested.
No doubt this is very encourging step taken by NCCAM, in view of researchers to post their comments and suggestions around the world.
Dr. Briggs, in Oct. 2010 my friend and I went to a conference in Vermont attended by many of the naturopaths licensed here as primary care physicians. Senator Bernie Sanders sponsored the conference. We attended a workshop you gave in which I spoke up and explained that my friend and I have generalized argyria, skin discolored by silver, and that we were very concerned because colloidal silver and silver for IV use were included in the state sanctioned VT Naturopathic Formulary. http://www.vtprofessionals.org/opr1/naturopaths/info/Naturopathic Physician Formulary 20091211.pdf [pdf download]
We were also very disturbed by the way the naturopaths had ignored my concerns when I told them about them.
Silver is still in the formulary although the state bureaucrats who regulate NDs have assured the legislators that they will no longer permit them to use it internally. They just passed a bill that will eliminate the formulary and grant NDs the same prescription privileges MDs have. Research is wonderful. Providing information as NCCAM has done on topics including silver supplements is great. But there is a major piece missing. No one is watching the store. No one is watching to make sure that alternative practitioners know about what has gone before them and that they refrain from using, promoting and selling dangerous snake oil like silver. I'd love to see you address this serious lack of oversight. http://rosemaryjacobs.com/naturopaths.html
Thanks to NCCAM's Research Blog. I read the complex challenges of Josephine P. Briggs, M.D. Before I didn't know NCCAM scientific staff, I want to know more, I will visit again.

I think the work of NCCAM is very important!
Every research investment regarding ways to fight pain and bring relief to suffering people must be encouraged. This blog is a great way to share information about it.
