Free thank you poems, thank you verse, and appreciation poems for all occasions. Heartfelt and sincere, this thank you poetry includes thank you for the gift poems.
Thank You!
I really appreciate you,
Your helpful, giving ways,
And how your generous heart
Your unselfishness displays.
I thank you for your kindness,
I will not soon forget;
You're one of the nicest people
I have ever met.
By Joanna Fuchs
This thank you poetry can also be used for appreciation poems. The following thank you appreciation poem notes assistance unselfishly given.
You Didn't Have To
Thank you for what you did;
You didn't have to do it.
I'm glad someone like you
Could help me to get through it.
I'll always think of you
With a glad and grateful heart;
You are very special;
I knew it from the start!

Thank you poetry often says the words that are hard to speak aloud. This thank you appreciation poem says that words are not enough to tell you how deeply you've touched me.
It Doesn't Seem Enough
I want to tell you "Thank you,"
But it doesn't seem enough.
Words don't seem sufficient--
"Blah, blah" and all that stuff.
Please know I have deep feelings
About your generous act.
I really appreciate you;
You're special, and that's a fact!
By Joanna Fuchs
This thank you message is free verse poetry that could also be used as an appreciation poem.
Thank You for Being You
Thank you for (the gift/your kindness).

You are unselfish always,

making me/us feel special and important.
It is a privilege and a pleasure to know you.
By Joanna Fuchs

When my life overwhelms and does me in,

Lots of people are looking for poems for pastors. There is a huge demand for pastor appreciation poems, probably for Pastor Appreciation Day, in October, so I hope this pastor thank you poem will meet that need.
Thank You Pastor
Thank you, caring pastor,
For tending to your flock;
You keep us all from weakening;
Like Jesus, you're our rock.
Thank you special pastor;
Your sheep you're always feeding;
Through example, guidance and stirring talks,
You give us what we're needing.
Thank you, Pastor, for teaching
About Jesus, our Lord and Master;
For all you say and are and do,
Thank you, thank you, pastor!
By Joanna Fuchs
All of us know people who give and give, and a thank you poem is not enough. Let's get the Lord involved to give people like that their proper reward.
A Thank you prayer
This giving heart, Dear Lord, please bless;
Fill her life with happiness.
For all she's given, all she's done,
Natural warmth like gentle sun,
Many generous, selfless deeds,
Lord give to her and meet her needs;
Cover her in Your holy love;
Write her name in heaven above.

"Transit riders have been unfairly singled out in the city's War on Halloween, and BART's proposed closure is an insult to the community [that]
relies on 16th Street Mission Station," the two wrote in an Oct. 30 letter condemning the move. "People and businesses that depend on BART and Muni will have their mobility compromised by this campaign to suppress the Halloween celebration in the Castro."
Alix Rosenthal, who lost a board challenge to Castro district Sup. Bevan Dufty in 2006, was appalled by how little the public knew about the Halloween plans in advance. Rosenthal helped found Citizens for Halloween, a group that argued revelers would show up despite city hall's insistence that the event be cancelled this year.
"I think it was really great they were able to keep the Castro safe," Rosenthal said. "But at what cost? The cost of fun. The cost of Halloween. The cost of transit riders. The cost of merchants."
Several businesses including sex shops, bars, and restaurants relented to pressure from the city and closed early. Officers clad in riot helmets and zip cuffs filled the entryways, seeming to overshadow civilians and bored-looking TV reporters.
The Edge bar at 4149 18th St., Osaki Sushi around the corner, the Posh Bagel, Chinese Dim Sum, the Sausage Factory, and even Twin Peaks, a bar that stands at the northeast entryway of the Castro and normally serves as a sort of de facto welcoming committee for the neighborhood, were shuttered. The restaurant A Bon Port at 476 Castro stood dark with a chalkboard sign in the window: "Out cruising," it read hopefully.
San Francisco Badlands, one of many Castro bars owned by area entrepreneur Les Natali, closed at 10 p.m., and two perturbed-looking private security guards in orange vests informed loiterers that they weren't allowed in any longer. Harvey's (on the southwest corner of 18th and Castro streets) remained open, but there were few people inside.
The folks who braved the police and the lack of transit tried to liven things up. Just south of the Castro Muni station, two friends protested with signs reading, "Don't tell us what to do we'll come if we want to." One of them, Erik Proctor, splits his time between the East Bay and San Francisco and said residents who move to the neighborhood should expect rambunctious annual celebrations.
"Partly why I'm out here is because last year they said people from the East Bay were the problem," Proctor said. "I represent the East Bay also. I come over here to have a good time. I don't come over here to cause problems."
With the crowd under control, the cops had plenty of time to chat about their paychecks. "Are you on OT?" one officer standing south of 18th Street casually asked another.
"I think so," he responded.
"Well, that's good."
A handful of costumed celebrants graced filled the sidewalks, but there was still plenty of breathing room, and traffic moved swiftly and easily along Castro Street, which was lined with steel barricades. One step into the street would elicit a hand on the chest and a hasty warning from a police officer: "Back on the sidewalk."
A handful of men went near-commando in little more than elastic thongs, but few people were shocked, and most of the costumes were far from scandalous. One woman dressed as a bag of groceries from Trader Joe's.
Among the people most directly impacted were foreign tourists the very folks the city spends money to attract every year. Activists walking through the Castro and interviewing people found visitors from 19 countries who had come to see the legendary celebration. Most walked away disappointed; they won't be back next year.
At least one business that stayed open felt a bit of official pressure.

Some poor girls will do anything for attention - or, they are getting paid $5,000 an hour - or, if they don't comply, they won't get their next fix. Pitiful.
What is the name of this girl? She is totally hot. This video would've been even hotter if she had swallowed, but I know she spits it out. Too bad.
Pretty sure this a re-post, funny though.
This is good. I pretty much don't need hours and hours of repetitive sex, of girl looking into the cam and moaning and groaning (fakely). Just give me the beginning and the beginning of the ending. LOL That will prob sum up the whole vid in essence. Thanks!

As a young girl, the thought of my father being taken away from me at such a crucial time in my life has come with much personal struggle. Today, thanks to Mrs. Navarro, the struggles of my family have come to an end. I cannot put into words how happy I am that my father will stay in the country that he loves very much. Mrs. Navarro has been very receptive, effective, and consoling in such a difficult time, I am thankful for all that she has done for my family.
Posted by Atakan keskin
I have searched for many lawyers, but most of them are more into consideration of how much appointments they can make me go in order to get more money from me. Emel Navarro is very straight up, extremely trustworthy person that gains more satisfaction making people's dreams come true rather than earning an extra buck or two. She has one flat fees which are the most reasonable prices I have ever seen in my life, and unlike other lawyers, she will make sure she work at the extreme level to help you as quick and as efficient as possible. Such a hardworking lady, digs through everything and finds clear evidences. I am very grateful to know her and to do business with her

Thank you for your work on my immigration case. It was very difficult, but you succeeded. I am very grateful to everyone who helped. I fully recommend your legal services to anyone with a similar case.
Posted by Selma
After extensive google research for "best immigration lawyer in Tampa" I found several lawyers and had an $100-200 consultation fees that I went trough since i felt so hopeless and had no one to turn to.
Two of the "Best immigration attorney's" turned me down and told me I have no chance obtaining my citizenship and that I had to wait 5 years to apply.
I called 4-4 other immigration lawyers and believe it or not Emel Navaro took my phone call personalty and I explained my situation to her and made my appointment with her the next day.
I brought all my documentation with me (i was denied my citizenship) and after she carefully revived paperwork she said " IF YOU GET DENIED AGAIN I WILL REPRESENT YOU FOR FREE UNTIL YOU GET YOUR CITIZENSHIP". This made me feel so good and immediately I decided to hire her and that was my best decision in my life. Today I'm proud to say that after 8 years I became a US citizen Thanx to Emel Ersan Navarro to me The best Immigration attorney in Tampa Bay Aria. One thing that i know for sure and that is that she is NOT like all other layers that only cares about money, She care about YOU and knows you and your case buy hart. THANK YOU EMEL AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES !!!
Posted by Huseyin Keskin
After searching the area for immigration lawyers, I have found one and only lawyer in Tampa who first tries to make sure that I am helped before calling me to thousands of consultations and slowing process. She is a great attorney, very friendly, extremely reasonable prices and her first concern is to help you. She tells you everything in details, prepares you well for what you need and makes sure that you understand everything. Lot of lawyers nowadays do not even remember your face after a consultation. An amazing lawyer and recommend it to everyone
Posted by Joseph
I am a client of Ms Emel Navarro. She's a hard working lawyer, she knows what she's doing , even thing is not easy, she find her way to do her best of it, she's a very capable lawyer.
Posted by Murat
Emel Ersan was my attorney in 2 separate issues. I can not imagine any attorney that would care for their clients as much as Ms Ersan. She is not only an excellent attorney with incredible law experience, but also a good person. I would strongly recommend her as an attorney.
Posted by Tulay ozmen
She tells you the truth and treats you with respect. She wants you to win like its her own case. She really cares and that's something you rarely find with lawyers. You won't regret going to her, trust me.
Posted by Abel
She had done just a great as my lawyer. I thank her so much because she has no idea how much better she has made my life, being able to get my license and social security number to get a better job and provide for my family. A million thanks to her.
Posted by Claudio / Denise
Ms. Navarro worked hard, she very organized, my wife and I want to thank you for your support and your patience in getting us through all the documentation for the Green Card process, Thank you for your professional service.

On our way back to PA from FL, we detoured to Mt. Airy to eat at Gondolas. Well worth the detour off I-77. The food was excellent, the service perfect. The manager came by twice. Lovely place.
Excellent little restaurant in downtown Mt. Airy. Some friends introduced me to this place when I first moved to NC. The menu has a little somethin for everyone and the prices are very reasonable. The waitresses are all very pleasant and accomodating.The manager often walks around to make sure that everyone is happy, and I think this says a lot about his desire to see happy customers. I have dined here several times and have never been dissatisfied. I would definitely recommend this establishment for families, couples, and even teenagers.
The food is awesome, the portions huge and the staff very friendly! You done good, Yassir!The atmosphere is very casual and relaxed,kinda like everyone is friends and family! We have been twice(in Jan and March 2011) and both times everything was great,just very welcoming and friendly and YUMMY!! We will definately be back and we highly recommend it to all our friends :)
Two visits, two excellent meals. This is now a mandatory stop when I'm near Mt Airy at meal time. (Warning: The lunch portions are NOT reduced -- they are very large dinner portions.) Impossible to save room for dessert. The only negative for me: alcohol free. I would have enjoyed a good wine with the meals.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes: Artists Talk about Teaching
Battista, Kathy, Art Monthly
Ch-ch-ch-changes: Artists Talk About Teaching, eds David Mollin and John Reardon, Ridinghouse, 2009, 384pp, 978 1 9054641 3 5.
David Bowie's classic track 'Ch-ch-chchanges', released on the Hunky Dory album in 1971, celebrates the power of each new generation to transform society. Having lived in London for many years, Bowie's song conjures notions of East End pubs and art parties. For Michael Landy, who destroyed a Bowie album as the last of his possessions during his Breakdown project in 2001, it is more than just an anthem; it is a way of life, much akin to being an artist.
Ch-ch-ch-changes is the particularly apt title of this new book; change is one of the abiding themes spanning the two short introductory essays by the editors and 26 interviews with artists who teach. These hail predominantly from the UK and Germany, and from London and Berlin respectively. Weighing in at almost 400 pages, it can, without hyperbole, be described as a tome. But, unlike other contemporary art books, it resists the seduction of elaborate design. In fact, it is kept so simple, with not one illustration on the cover or inside, that it resembles a textbook in its austerity; this is an appropriate metaphor for a book dedicated to the examination of the relationship between artistic practice and pedagogy. However, despite its modest presentation, this book is an important contribution to long-neglected debates, including: How does one 'teach' artists? How does an artist's practice influence their teaching style? And how has the increasing Balkanisation of the university system impacted on an art school education?
John Reardon's essay, which opens Ch-chch-changes, takes a cohesive look back at the process of compiling the book, finding overarching themes that cut across the discussions. He acknowledges the difficulty in according any objective value in teaching of art in fine art departments. Reardon writes that the interviews 'left me more sure that a lot of good work is done by people not so convinced by things'. While traditionally teachers at university level are expected to convey expertise, here the editor is honest about the anxieties of teaching a discipline as subjective as fine art and the instinctual processes that it requires. David Mollin's essay focuses on the practice of interviewing, with all its breakthroughs and cautious hesitations, and the difficulty in rendering verbal communication in text format, which in itself is a metaphor for the futility of assigning any quantifiable methodology to the teaching process.
A common theme among many interviews is the notion of building a community through collective production. Several artists, including Christian Jankowski, Jon Thompson, John Armleder, Michael Corris and John Hilliard, find it most productive to work in collaboration with their students on an actual project rather than to teach individual skills such as painting or sculpture. Vanalyne Green, who studied with Judy Chicago and Sheila Levrant de Bretteville, speaks eloquently on this topic. She attributes her feminist education to changing her 'values to ones that were more community-oriented, compared with individualistic'.
To continue on this feminist strain, one of the criticisms I will cite of Ch-ch-ch-changes is the lack of women artists as interview subjects. Only three out of 26 are female: Greene, Karin Sander and Phyllida Barlow. Perhaps this is indicative of the population of fine art departments in the UK and Germany today. …

How..? You're keeping your sharp egde AND still keep the piece alive..Big respect dude! You have some amazing skills Keep it up, because it would be a waste not to do it..
Wow... This leaves me speechless. You're very adept at painting and airbrushing. Thanks for sharing!
this is amazing, the detail the lighting,
I really love the colors on this one, and the intensity of his expression and poise
Ooh, I really like the design of this character. x3
Nice one. Love the detail and the feel of it.
Brilliant work! Very well finished!
Very good work here. What really caught me in it is that this could easily have been a perfect picture for an old RP character of mine from years back. Foreground, background, fits scarily well.
Ciao, complimenti! Per caso è già coperto da diritti per qualche pubblicazione? Potrebbe interessarmi l'acquisto.
nice job!
Awsome stuff
Amazing piece as all of your work!!! a must Fav
Great job
Great work man
Fantastic job!

Hello guys sorry for being away from dA (again) ..i just have been busy with work and more recently with performance photography ,i find it extremely fun to go out to shows and capture musicians performing live ..this has become my new passion and no it is not like i do not like to do my usual conceptual stuff but going out to shows and coming back home late sometimes leaves me exhausted . Either way im more active on my facebook page and there you can see more shots like this.
I like that this piece is flowing with fun and energy every which way.
Kinky gorgeous! I love the movement of the legs! Love the fact that this picture is black and white too!
she is great!
great shot too!
I love this...I really do...but nothing to me could take the place of your conceptual works. They are so unique, so masterfully done, and so damn beautiful, sometimes penetrating deep down into my being! I hope you won't stop creating such wonders, and hope you won't forsake DA.
more concert pics plz!

Charles R. Pellegrino
Charles R. Pellegrino (born May 5, 1953) is an American writer and the author of several books related to science and archaeology, including Return to Sodom and Gomorrah, Ghosts of the Titanic, Unearthing Atlantis and Ghosts of Vesuvius. Aspects of Pellegrino's book The Last Train from Hiroshima have been disputed as has Pellegrino's claim to have earned a PhD.
Early life[edit]
Pellegrino earned bachelor's and master's degrees at Long Island University in the mid-1970s.[1]
Last Train from Hiroshima[edit]
In January 2010, Henry Holt published Pellegrino's Last Train from Hiroshima, a look at the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima from the vantage of survivors.
The New York Times initially praised the book as "sober and authoritative" and as a "firm and compelling synthesis of earlier memoirs and archival material".[2] Nevertheless, a month later the New York Times questioned claims made in Pellegrino's book:
[The book] claims to reveal a secret accident with the atom bomb that killed one American and irradiated others and greatly reduced the weapon's destructive power… There is just one problem. That section of the book and other technical details of the mission are based on the recollections of Joseph Fuoco, who is described as a last-minute substitute on one of the two observation planes that escorted the Enola Gay… But Mr. Fuoco… never flew on the bombing run, and he never substituted for James R. Corliss, the plane's regular flight engineer, Mr. Corliss's family says. They, along with angry ranks of scientists, historians and veterans, are denouncing the book and calling Mr. Fuoco an impostor.[3]
Veterans of the 509th Operations Group, the Air Force unit which dropped the atomic bombs, issued a detailed list of substantive problems with many of the book's claims about the bomb and the Air Force personnel involved.[4]
The New York Times added, "Facing a national outcry and the Corliss family's evidence, the author, Charles Pellegrino, now concedes that he was probably duped. . . . [H]e said he would rewrite sections of the book for paperback and foreign editions."[3] Despite Pellegrino's claim in The New York Times that he had been "duped" by Fuoco, further investigation revealed that Pellegrino had repeatedly mentioned one of the book's most disputed claims (a supposed fatal accident at Tinian Island on 4 August 1945) before Mr. Fuoco had allegedly confided it for him.[5][6] Doubts also arose about the existence of two westerners allegedly present in Hiroshima at the time of the bombing.[7]
On 1 March 2010, Henry Holt announced it had halted publication of Last Train from Hiroshima.[7]
Doctoral degree[edit]
Pellegrino claims to have received a Ph.D. at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand in 1982.[1] After doubts about the degree were raised, Victoria University spokespersons informed the Associated Press, The Weekly Standard, and The New York Times that Pellegrino did not have a Ph.D. from Victoria University.[8][9][10][11]
Pellegrino responded that the university had "stripped him of his Ph.D. because of a disagreement over evolutionary theory".[8] The university told The New York Times and other news outlets that it would further investigate the matter. In 2010, The New York Times reported:[1]
In an e-mailed statement, Professor Pat Walsh, vice chancellor of Victoria University of Wellington, confirmed that Mr. Pellegrino had been a Ph.D. student in the 1980s. "He submitted a thesis which in the unanimous opinion of the examiners was not of a sufficient standard for a Ph.D. to be awarded," Mr. Walsh said. "Following complaints from Pellegrino, an investigation was carried out by the University. In 1986, Pellegrino appealed to Her Majesty the Queen. The case was then considered by the Governor-General who disallowed the appeal. Accordingly, Pellegrino was never awarded a Ph.D. from Victoria and therefore could not have had it stripped from him or reinstated at a later date."[1]
The Jesus Family Tomb: The Discovery, the Investigation, and the Evidence That Could Change History (2007) (co-authored with Simcha Jacobovici) was a companion book to the Discovery Channel documentary on the same subject created in part by film director James Cameron.

I'm trying to get back into color starting with colored pencils. I don't normally like color because I find I can't get it to the realistic state I want. This is a quick 15 min werewolf illustration I drew for fun and practice. I don't like the color after scanning and tried to make it as close to the original with some editing software but still can't get the colors as nice as the original piece. I'm overall happy with my first attempt though.

www.ScienceTranslationalMedicine.org 13 January 2010 Vol 2 Issue 14 14cm2 1COMMENTARY" "CREDIT: F. A. MURPHY/CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION INTRODUCTIONInfectious diseases worldwide account for about one-quarter of all deaths (1) (Fig. 1). In developed countries, an earlier op-timism that most such diseases had been conquered by improved surveillance and public health measures is now seen to have been misplaced. In Europe as else-where, there are newly emerging threats to confront (2): new infl uenza variants; new microbes, especially those transmitted by animals; resurgent infections like tuber-culosis (TB); resistance to antimicrobial drugs; and bioterrorism. Increasing migra-tion and other eff ects of globalization com-pound these challenges. Communicable diseases have major economic as well as health eff ects. In Eng-land, for example, the direct economic burden calculated from the cost of primary care, hospital admission, and hospital-acquired infection was estimated as up to $15 billion annually (3). Th e net impact is much greater when other ramifi cations are included. Emerging zoonoses—infectious diseases that can be transmitted to humans from other animals—can be disruptive on a global scale. For example, the cost of the severe acute respiratory syndrome epidem-ic (which occurred from 2002 to 2003 and was caused by a virus that probably origi-nated in bats), including the eff ect on trav-el, tourism, economic growth, and fi nancial markets, was estimated at $80 billion.EASAC AND THE EUIn 2001, the national science academies of the European Union (EU) Member States formed the European Academies Science Advisory Council (EASAC) to provide ex-pert, independent science advice to those who make policy in the European institu-tions (Table 1). In a series of reports on infectious diseases (4), EASAC identifi ed EU priorities for building the science base as an integral part of public health strategy. In this Commentary, we draw on this accu-mulating evidence to analyze policy issues that aff ect multiple countries to improve the translational medicine environment in Europe and indicate where further reform should be sought. APPRECIATING THE IMPORTANCE OF R&D POLICYTh at diff erent policy-making functions must be better coordinated at national and EU levels to capitalize on the scientifi c evi-dence base is a pervasive theme in EASAC work. Th e challenge of antibiotic resistance exemplifi es the problem: Historically, poli-cy-makers' use of evidence has been weak and short-sighted, despite resistance ac-counting for half of the deaths from health-care-associated infections in some parts of Europe (5). A recent Recommendation from the EU Council (6), following Euro-pean Commission proposals (7) to contain antibiotic resistance by (i) strengthening surveillance, (ii) standardizing infection-control procedures, and (iii) improving the awareness of the hospital workforce and patients, typifi es the short-term eff orts to make better use of research evidence that is already available. Th e scientifi c and medical communities together with policy-makers must pursue an important translational medicine agenda to measure and contain the transmission of clinically relevant pathogens and aim to implement Europe-wide accreditation programs for hygiene standards, diagno-sis, and prescribing.However, tively immediate actions are not enough. In the view of EASAC, policy-makers must also commit to a lon-ger-term agenda to promote science and innovation, in-form coherent strategy, and create new tools to detect, monitor, prevent, and treat infections. medicine encompasses op-portunities to understand the behavior of both micro-bial and human populations, but requires better integra-tion of research activities and therapy development to conceive new interventions and use them in new ways—for example, as diagnostic-therapeutic combinations in personalized medicine.these rela-Translational EUROPEAN POLICYTranslational Medicine Policy Issues in Infectious DiseaseRobin Fears,1* Jos W.M. van der Meer,2 Volker ter Meulen3 Published 13 January 2010; Volume 2 Issue 14 14cm2*Corresponding author.

The European Academies Science Advisory Council has published a series of reports on infectious disease policy issues, analyzing priorities for building the science base as part of public health strategy. Among current challenges facing the European Union are the needs to tackle antibiotic resistance, promote vaccine innovation, prepare for the emergence of novel zoonoses, and integrate research approaches to human and animal health. The scientifi c community must help public policy-makers to address the organi-zation, balance, and sustainability of research funding and infrastructure; encourage the creation of a more supportive regulatory environment for translational medicine; and evaluate new models for public-private partnership to facilitate innovation.Fig. 1.

www.ScienceTranslationalMedicine.org 13 January 2010 Vol 2 Issue 14 14cm2 2COMMENTARY" "OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE: THE EXAMPLE OF VACCINESEASAC reports (4) explored two European gaps in translation: from basic science to clinical studies and from clinical research to routine application of new therapies in health practice. Much more eff ort is needed to link the advances in fundamental science on pathogen characterization with clinical infection research, product discovery, proof-of-principle in early drug development, and clinical scale-up. Merely improving linear progression along the R&D continuum is not enough; capitalizing on feedback from outcomes in human research to inform pre-clinical understanding, test hypotheses, and steer the selection of novel disease targets must also occur.Th is complexity is exemplifi ed in EASAC's analysis of the policy issues for vaccine in-novation. Although it is vitally important to make the best use of vaccines already avail-able, there are unmet vaccine development needs in Europe, as elsewhere—for pandemic infl uenza, established diseases (including TB, human immunodefi ciency virus infection, and respiratory syncytial virus infection), other emerging diseases (for example, West Nile virus infection), and antibiotic-resistant pathogens. New opportunities are arriving: Th e sequencing of bacterial and viral genom-es has created the discipline of pathogenom-ics, facilitating "reverse vaccinology" (8). In this approach, scientists search for vaccine targets by studying sequence information, as well as the microorganisms themselves. For example, European vaccine research on mutating virulence genes produced a TB strain potentially conferring greater protec-tion and fewer side eff ects than the standard bacillus Calmette-Guérin, or BCG, vaccine (9). But funding agencies need to realize that advances in genomics necessitate the simul-taneous pursuit of an ambitious and diverse research agenda in fundamental science—for example, to understand the innate immune system and the induction of T lymphocyte responses, as well as to characterize patho-gen functionality (particularly for growing threats such as the fl aviviruses)—before a new disease appears.In short, vaccine R&D deserves a higher priority. Th e use of improved research meth-odologies must be matched by a receptiv-ity at regulatory agencies for new types of information. Preclinical work can suggest biomarkers to serve as correlates of infection and protection to help shorten the duration of vaccine trials. But this process requires iteration across basic and clinical research to screen and validate sensitive and specifi c markers, as it is oft en the clinical outcome that informs preclinical routes to effi cacy and safety indicators. Microbial challenge studies—in which human volunteers are deliberately infected with microorganisms—provide another very specifi c example of the value of feedback from human research. Such studies continue to contribute to the understanding of pathogenesis (for example, for malaria) and the immune response and may furnish proof-of-concept for an inter-vention (10, 11).POLICY CHALLENGES FOR A BROAD SCIENTIFIC AGENDAAdvances in basic science are beginning to clarify key pathogen population functions such as virulence and quorum sensing (dur-ing which cells in a population coordinate their behavior), and provide an information resource for translation into novel diagnos-tics and therapeutics, as well as vaccines. Ba-sic bioscience will deliver further insight into mechanisms of pathogenicity, interspecies transmission of infection, and host adapta-tion. Th ese fundamental advances and their applications carry implications for health services and the regulation of innovation. For example, the narrow therapeutic speci-fi city that is the likely consequence of viru-lence inhibition mandates rapid and precise diagnostic methods to direct therapy.In addition to better integration of basic and clinical studies, research funders and practitioners need to attend to two other germane matters. First, they must incorpo-rate fi ndings from the social sciences. For example, it is important to clarify the de-terminants of antibiotic resistance in diff er-ent settings and educate health profession-als about these factors to improve rational prescribing. Similarly, funders and practi-tioners must clarify how to communicate with the public about the benefi ts and risks of vaccines to build public trust about vac-cine use. Better socioeconomic assessment of the impact of infections and health-care interventions is also needed to raise the po-litical visibility of these issues and inform priority-setting.Second, funding agencies and research-ers must integrate approaches to human and animal health. Th e importance of coordinat-ing research to foster "one health" is a con-stant EASAC theme. Th is task is increasing-ly necessary: About 75% of new infectious diseases discovered in the last 10 years af-fecting humans have originated in animals. Research to contain the infl uenza pandemic required coordinated work on several ani-mal species as well as humans. Th e current disconnect between the sectors amplifi es the fragmentation between basic and applied research and between national and interna-tional policies that impedes the translation of discovery into clinical advance. Th e steps needed to achieve this better integration pose problems for policy-makers because it may be necessary to modify the entire or-ganizational structure of infection research, prevention, and response, perhaps by creat-ing a national institute for infectious disease Table 1. European institutions with responsibility for developing and applying policy associ-ated with translational medicine. Activities at the EU level must also take into account the role of national authorities to support research, deliver public health, and manage the approval and availability of medical products. Institution Description European Commission Directorates-General for Research, Enterprise, and Public Health have operational roles to support health-related research and its application. The European Commission initiates law-making, develops policies, and manages programs while respecting the principle of subsidiarity (in those domains where the EU does not have exclusive competence to act). European Agencies ECDC has roles to identify, assess, and communicate threats from infection. EMEA has responsibility for EU-wide marketing authorization, comprising assessment, supervision, and pharmacovigilance. European Parliament Directly elected body of EU that can draft legislation and request the executive to present proposals. Has codecision role in law-making with EU Council. Council of EU Composed of ministers from Member States and has codecision role with Parliament. Can also set out general guidelines and political priorities for the other institutions. Presidency of the council is held by each Member State for 6 months in turn under a rotating system.

At both national and European levels, such changes require political will.NEW WAYS TO BUILD TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE RESOURCESNew infrastructure. EASAC proposed that one way of integrating across disciplines and across sectors would be to create mul-tidisciplinary infectious disease centers of excellence with areas of expertise designed to span the sciences. For Europe, such cen-ters should be networked to ensure research capacity building in all Member States and access to patients. In addition to providing critical mass and interdisciplinarity, these centers could help to remedy European weaknesses that will otherwise hinder the progress of translational medicine.One current defi cit is in the provision of training. By promoting education and career development, new infrastructure can become an important part of initiatives such as the Clinical and Translational Sci-ence Network (13). But the success of trans-lational medicine does not depend only on integrating diff erent skills and perspectives. EASAC highlighted the problem of declin-ing skills in traditional disciplines, such as microbiology, immunology, and epidemiol-ogy, that may compromise the performance of the next generation of researchers. Other disciplines, such as entomology, vector biol-ogy, and microbial ecology, have also been neglected yet are newly critical for transla-tional medicine in terms of understanding the increasing incidence and spread of in-fections that are occurring as a result of cli-mate change and other environmental pres-sures (14, 15).European capacity can also be augment-ed by adding value to preexisting medical microbiology infrastructure. In many Eu-ropean hospitals, microbiology services are poorly connected to research, teaching, and training; microbiology laboratories also tend to merge and be located remotely from hos-pitals. European funding agency encourage-ment of collaboration between universities that harbor fundamental research groups and hospital microbiology laboratories would facilitate eff orts in pathogen function elucidation, molecular epidemiology, target discovery, improved screening assays, data management, and modeling.Another current weakness is the lack of integrated database resources. TB research exemplifi es the value to be gained by con-structing an accessible and comprehensive repository of well-characterized pathogen strain isolates together with their genomic, clinical, and epidemiological data to study relationships between molecular variation and clinical consequences (16) and, if also including human samples, to study the in-terplay between the bacterium and patient (17). Th is knowledge platform could im-prove drug susceptibility testing, enhance the modeling of future drug-resistance sce-narios, and act as a resource for developing new interventions. To be eff ective, a database must be international, requiring collabora-tion between centers of excellence with the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other resources worldwide. Such coordination presents a challenge for global policy-mak-ers for technical, institutional, and, perhaps, ethical reasons (18).New funding models. New funding models should be created to facilitate mul-tidisciplinary, long-term, costly infectious disease research. Th e current EU system, based on competition between individual research groups and fragmented research prioritization strategies, should be reformed to incorporate the concept of Grand Chal-lenges (19) whereby policy-makers identify societal priorities and the research commu-nity agrees on specifi c research goals for co-ordinated, sustained inquiry.New regulatory environment. Th e Clinical Trials Directive was implemented by the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) for the European Commission in 2004 with the objectives of improving research standards, protecting patients, and enhancing the com-petitiveness of large-scale medical trials. However, the academic and smaller-com-pany research communities are concerned that the directive dramatically increased bu-reaucracy and costs for researchers without enhancing clinical safety or quality (20). Th e inadvertent consequence of reducing the number of academic researcher-initiated trials in Europe is unfortunate; researchers must inform policy-makers on the options for proportionate trial regulation. Th ere are also more general lessons to be learned—that the academic community must be more proactive in advising policy-makers earlier in the legislative life cycle and, in turn, pol-icy-makers should consult more widely if they are to avert unintended consequences of legislation.New time scale in policy develop-ment. Th e clinical and policy-making communities now face an additional col-lective challenge in accelerating the science advisory processes. Th e current H1N1 in-fl uenza outbreak provides a good example of a situation in which information was generated in real time to inform practical decisions: to identify vulnerable popula-tions, analyze available interventions, and promote public awareness (21). Th is re-sponse by the scientifi c community entailed considerable laboratory, epidemiological, and social science research; the policy chal-lenge is to ensure that the lessons from this episode are embedded in policy-making more broadly and that suffi cient resources are made available for researching other threats, some unforeseen.CONNECTING RESEARCH WITH INNOVATION IN STRENGTHENED PARTNERSHIPSAntibiotic and vaccine innovation comprise lengthy, expensive, uncertain, and complex processes. EASAC analysis substantiated concerns expressed by many other advisory groups in the United States and EU regard-ing a declining pharmaceutical pipeline in certain areas of infectious disease R&D, for example, drugs targeting Gram-negative bacteria. If increasing antibiotic resistance portends a return to the pre-antibiotic era, it would be diffi cult to overestimate the subse-quent impact on modern medicine, depen-dent on the surgery and other intensive hos-pital care that becomes impossible without eff ective infection prevention and control.Th e nature of the current impediments to innovation for both large pharmaceutical and smaller biotechnology companies has been discussed extensively in the EASAC reports and elsewhere [for example, for an-tibiotics (3, 22, 23) and for vaccines (24)], and the need for innovative incentives to encourage antibacterial R&D has become a priority for the current Presidency of EU Council. Although there are many issues to face in encouraging innovation—for ex-ample, in the regulation of marketing, pric-ing, and reimbursement to counter industry perceptions of the declining return on in-vestment in this area—some optimism that new approaches to risk-sharing in public-private partnership will help drive R&D is appropriate. Th e need to stimulate public-private collaboration is a consistent theme in EASAC work.One recent advance is the Innovative Medicines Initiative, a 2 billion euros part-nership between the European Commission and the pharmaceutical industry to sup-
Page 4
www.ScienceTranslationalMedicine.org 13 January 2010 Vol 2 Issue 14 14cm2 4COMMENTARY" "port precompetitive research to tackle R&D bottlenecks in safety, effi cacy, training, and knowledge management. It is too soon to judge if the partnerships will succeed, but it is encouraging that the design of the initia-tive takes account of criteria for success in collaboration, identifi able from the work of EASAC and industry commentators (25). Th e factors deemed critical for success in-clude substantial public funding, interna-tional networking, early attention to conten-tious ownership issues, and the involvement of smaller companies.Additional advances in shared approach-es to safety evaluation will occur. Th e Seri-ous Adverse Events Consortium recently demonstrated (26) a markedly increased risk of liver injury with the antibiotic fl u-cloxacillin in patients carrying at least one copy of the HLA-B*5701 allele. Subjects and samples were recruited in the United Kingdom in publicly funded research with regulatory agency permission for access to safety records. Th is model for investigating adverse events merits wider adoption, for example, in vaccine postmarketing surveil-lance for which EASAC defi ned a responsi-bility for EU Member States to develop mo-lecular epidemiology networks for research and product monitoring.Individual companies can also collabo-rate with academia aft er the precompetitive research phase. However, as academic re-searchers oft en have only a limited under-standing of what industry needs in validated drug targets, it is prudent not to overvalue what such research can deliver in the absence of industry advice. Consequently, although there are roles for public research, notably in target assay and validation and in medicinal chemistry for the construction of more di-verse chemical libraries [molecular scaff olds (23)], to bridge the gap between academia and industry, industry must also teach what is needed for drug discovery research.BUILDING MOMENTUM IN TRANSLATIONAL SCIENCE AND POLICYIf the current shortcomings in infectious disease research and innovation are to be addressed, public policy-makers need to reconsider the organization and balance of research funding at national and EU levels. Th is requires better sharing of those skills compartmentalized within the tradition-ally separate domains of academia, industry, and government (27). We conclude by em-phasizing two points. First, it is vital not to neglect basic research; without this, trans-lational medicine is impossible. Second, although we focused on the EU, there are opportunities for more coherence in policy-making worldwide. Th e strategies for trans-lational medicine have implications not only for scientists but for many others, including fi nance ministries, those concerned with research governance, and the veterinary sector. Such strategies will also aff ect inno-vation and competitiveness, public health infrastructure, and global development. Th e scientifi c community must continue to stimulate discussion of the policy options.REFERENCES AND NOTES 1. D. L. Heymann, The global infectious disease situation.

Thread: Should we sign FS Nick Collins?

Should we sign FS Nick Collins?
" Free agent S Nick Collins reiterated his surgically-repaired neck is "100 percent," and he's "ready" to resume his playing career. Collins was a fan favorite with the Packers, which is part of the reason he's getting a lot of attention from the Green Bay media. He suffered a serious neck injury in Week 2 of the 2011 season and needed cervical fusion surgery. Collins says the only doctor that wouldn't medically clear him is Packers team doc Dr. Pat McKenzie. 30-year-old Collins is hoping to get a shot to join a team this summer. It seems highly doubtful, but we won't completely rule it out. "
- Rotoworld
Now, do we go after Collins? He was a pro bowl FS with the Packers and is only at 30 years old. I would definitely kick the tires on Collins. At worst he serves as depth or doesn't make the team, and at best we have a top 5 FS in the NFL (which is what he was when he got hurt).

Re: Should we sign FS Nick Collins?
Giordano is FA. I'd be open for Collins getting at a good look.
No matter what... the Rams secondary is going to be young. It never hurts to have a veteran in the mix, especially during training camp. And Collins sounds hungry. 30 is also in the mix for a body still being young enough to bounce back from injury. Now if he was 33... I'd have a completely different opinion.

I wouldn't be in a rush to sign him. If he's still available in May or June, maybe bring him in then.

Re: Should we sign FS Nick Collins?
I'd definitely be interested to see what he still has left. He was a big reason why GB won their Super Bowl.

We only stayed one night here during our two weeks on the Fiji Islands but this place was almost surreal. Food was top for the islands staff was soooo friendly and welcoming. This place is classier than many of the smaller island resorts. Live music day and night. Beautiful island wonderful bures. Even though this island is remote we prefer to travel where there are fewer travelers. It was a great getaway date night from our other destination in FIJI. Would recommend to families groups adults etc.... Hope to return.
Very impressed with the great friendly service (Fijiians are awesome!!). \nThe bar staff were charming and friendly. They made us feel like we were home.\nThe snorkling was another highlight!! Beautiful! Lots of peace and quiet.\nThe rooms were well positioned and had excellant air conditioning.\nThe iguana and turtles were another highlight as well as the little banded rails.\nBeachcomber island isn't too far away you can kayak to it.\nWould definately recommend it!!\n

Powerfully rich and refined, with plenty of grip behind the lip-smacking flavors of kirsch, dark plum, chocolate and boysenberry. Shows excellent balance as well, with a silky texture and a long, spicy finish that's accented with hints of licorice and cedar. Best from 2014 through 2034.
Rich wine, as befits a ripe year, full of damson jam and sweet tannins. Of course, it is still very young in a ripe fruity style. The structure is all there, ready for aging.
Produced since 1989, Quinta do Vesuvio is a single quinta port produced by the Symington family. Prior to that, this historical vineyard has long been known for the quality of its grapes, which were sold to other port houses. The 2009 vintage shows the classic combination of intense, spicy black and blue skinned fruits for which this quinta is so well known. Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca and Touriga Nacional vines range in age from 10 to 35 years, and, unusually for many port vineyards, are planted in their own rows (not interspersed amongst rows). This is a great vintage port to try for anyone interested in the specificity and individuality afforded by a single vineyard, vintage port wine.

I'm 6w3d today and nausea has just started right on 6 weeks. It's really mild, only happening in the morning. I thought it was because of my prenatal, so as of today, I'm going to start taking it in the evening (thus, haven't taken on since yesterday morning). This morning though during breakfast, nausea. Again, its mild, but I refuse to have morning sickness. No I'm not ridiculous, I just know the power of my own beliefs.
Guess what the nausea means? I have to poop. Yup, in the morning, when I get nausous, it means I have to go poop. And to top it off, I have gone from hard poop/constipation for 3 weeks (toilet visit once a day) to now diarrhea for the past couple of days (up to 4 times a day). Great!
Just wanted to share how silly prengnacy hormones can be.
Also, I play 'Jungle Jewel' while I'm going (like Bejeweled). My husband asked he through the door one day what I was doing. I answered pooping out rainbows, what does it sound like!?
