Pediatric Massage Study Finds Surprising Results
By Tracy Walton, LMT, MS
I had the great pleasure of attending the American Massage Therapy Association National Convention in Minneapolis this year, and hearing a panel discuss pediatric massage research. Among the presenters was Dr. Sean Phipps, a psychologist and researcher at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis.He presented a large study of massage and humor therapy in children undergoing stem cell transplant (SCT).1 Stem cell transplant is typically used to treat certain types of cancer and blood diseases. It is a rigorous procedure, with multiple medical risks to the patient.
This is an important and useful study for a number of reasons:
I'll leave the explanation and importance of the first two points to the various resources in massage research literacy.2 Instead, I want to focus here on the last point, that the study observed NO effect from massage or humor therapy in pediatric SCT patients. The audience was understandably surprised, and some of us were stunned. What happened?
The study staff recruited 178 pediatric SCT patients. Because stem cell transplant is notoriously strong treatment, associated with high degrees of distress for patients and families, the study looked at both patient- and parent-targeted interventions. This was not the first time the group attempted research in this area; Previous, smaller studies had documented the feasibility and appeal of massage and humor therapy,3 and had even suggested some benefit to warrant this further study, which was a larger scale, NIH-funded controlled trial.
The patients, aged 6-18, were randomized into three arms. One was a child-targeted intervention composed of massage and humor therapy. Another group received the child-targeted intervention in addition to a parent-targeted intervention that involved massage and relaxation/imagery. The third group, the control group, received only standard medical care.
A standard massage routine was provided by professional massage therapists, with the intended dose set at three half-hour sessions per week for 4 weeks, beginning at 1 week before transplant. The actual average massage dose turned out to be 8.8 sessions over the course of the study, as timing and other logistics often affect the actual amount delivered. The researchers measured somatic distress, mood disturbance, length of hospitalization, the time to engraftment (for the transplant to "take") and the use of opioid pain relievers and antiemetics (antinausea drugs).
As stated above, the investigators found that massage therapy and humor therapy made no difference in any of the outcomes. The patients' experiences of SCT appeared to be unchanged by these two complementary therapies. Even the addition of the parent-targeted therapy, in which the designated parent received massage on the same schedule as the child, along with relaxation therapy, seemed to make no difference. In fact, Dr. Phipps showed graphs of the three groups that were almost identical. Changes in mood and distress measures did occur in all three groups over the course of 4 weeks, but they were typical ups and downs over the course of the procedure. During SCT, the mood and distress measures get worse before they get better, and the patterns were the same in all three groups.
There were no differences in the medical outcomes, either. The time to engraftment, length of hospital stay, and use of pain relievers and antiemetics were surprisingly similar across the three groups.
What Do We Make Of This?
The study authors admitted being surprised by the results, and even disappointed. One important quality in a research paper is humility, and the authors were quick to point out possible limitations in the study design: perhaps they weren't measuring exactly the right outcomes, or the timing of the measurements was not perfect. The age range of 6-18 years in their patient may have been too broad to fully standardize the treatments. They also report that the results of a single study--theirs--is not sufficient for firm conclusions. More studies, from additional researchers, are needed before we can determine whether to advise massage for this population.
One of the most potent observations in this paper, and in the talk that I heard, was that the standard medical care during SCT has improved much in the past years, and that patient distress is so well-managed that it is difficult to improve upon it with massage. In fact, levels of distress in the study sample were quite low to begin with, and throughout the study. While SCT-related distress still exists, it may be that standard medical care is already reducing it to the lowest levels possible, and massage cannot be expected to take it any further.
I was impressed by the care taken in this project, by the findings, and by the reflections of the investigator. I have a few of my own thoughts to add to discussion:
First, it is important for researchers to publish work like this, when the outcomes do not meet the researcher's hypothesis. If we reported only the "good" or "bad" news in massage research (a problem called publication bias), then it would hold back the science of massage, and take longer to learn its true impact. I hope that other massage therapy trade publications also report on these findings, as disappointing as they are, so that the news is balanced.
Second, as much as I might wish for massage to have an effect in this population, the science and my own wishful thinking are two separate things. Massage is powerful therapy, but it is unlikely to be a cure-all. If it really is true that massage has no significant effect on a given population, we need to know that. As a profession, it's important to know if massage is less effective in some populations than in others. If it is, we can direct our study and practice where we know it is effective. Perhaps other patient populations are more responsive to massage, or there are places where the medical management of a condition falls short, and massage could play a larger role. If so, perhaps we should focus our efforts there. This would not mean denying massage to people undergoing SCT. Instead, it would mean that we continue to study the impact of massage, learn where it's most effective, and make sure we act on that information.
Finally, I am interested in the massage design and dose. I have to ask, in this and other studies, whether the massage dose is sufficient to bring about a change? Do we need to schedule daily massage in some populations, so that after logistics have taken their toll, the participants end up receiving 4-5 sessions per week? If so, would 4-5 sessions per week be sufficient, or too much? Does scheduling massage at certain points compromise its effectiveness, and, instead, it should be provided on demand the way some pain medications are administered? Are certain massage strokes, or body areas of focus essential for massage to be effective?
As disappointing as these results were, the study offers an important contribution to the body of research. I am not ready to abandon massage of SCT patients, nor do the investigators suggest that we should. But the study asks good questions. I am grateful to the investigators for their care, expertise, and clear reporting. As good research, this study invites further reflection, discussion, and, of course, more research.

Building activity rise tipped to continue
Relevant offers
National business
Fletcher Building expects New Zealand building activity to outpace that in Australia in the next year.
Fletcher Building general manager of investor and media relations Philip King said the listed company was forecasting that New Zealand residential and commercial consents would continue to modestly increase.
Australian residential activity, however, could experience more volatility and commercial construction was likely to remain subdued.
Infrastructure was the only construction area where Australian building was expected to remain steady, he said.
"What we're seeing is Australia has been slowing down over the last 15 months in their new housing consents and New Zealand has been picking at the same time.
"Australia has had quite strong housing over the last several years, where New Zealand reached all-time lows with its housing, exacerbated, of course, with what has happened in Canterbury."
But the sector has strengthened in New Zealand in the last financial year and the number of issued residential consents has risen 14 per cent, from 13,539 for the year to June last year, to 15,414 for the year to June this year, according to Statistics New Zealand.
In the same period, Australia had a 12 per cent fall, from 164,251 in the 12 months to June last year, to 145,057 this year, Australian Bureau of Statistics reports. Fairfax NZ

Report on Carolina Beach State Park Marina, AICW Statute Mile 297
The long awaited remodeling and reopening of this fine facility has happened! The State Park entrance channel cuts off from the AICW, at the western end of Snows Cut, between markers #163 and #165.
This marina has to be a best kept secret. It is newly dredged with all new docks for $30.00 per day including 60 amps and water. The state park is a nice place to walk. Vessel length is limited. We are 37 feet and we used all of the slip.

Hi there. I plan on purchasing this in a few weeks, but had a couple of questions first:
Is the laptop itself black, or mocha (it says both on the item page)?
How is the sound? I was also looking at the A53, and a lot of reviews said the sound was pretty bad.

New track for M83's film score
Really great track. I'm looking forward to this album more than the actual film tbh.
really nice, hope the movie is this good
the cool thing about m83 is that they turn the generic movie-preview epicness into pop songs - without the songs you're pretty much just left with a run-of-the-mill soundtrack. as much as I love m83 i don't see how this will be much more than digital shades vol. 2 with a slightly more commercial edge
This is really awesome! m83 will be doing another electronic album, without vocals! This is the best news I've heard so far this year. I'm dying for another Dead Cities, Red Seas, and Lost Ghosts. That was the album that really sold me on electronica when it first came out.
yeah i dont care about the film but im definitely gonna check out the soundtrack
ok god damn he is really good at composing epic sounding film scores
this track is excellent
Will be better than Tom Cruise
the trailer makes it look pretty cool, but only cause it's gonna be so incredibly overblown and the CGI looks intense. Honestly, it pretty much looks like a ripoff of The Matrix, with some added glam.
I might take my dad to see it, he loves going out to the movies, especially twisted action blockbusters. (I can geek out to him about the soundtrack). I'm always tempted to boycott anything to do with Tom Cruise, but he gets the job done in movies like this so fuck it, I'm in. Gon be 3/5 but the popcorn will have extra butter and I'll make the bitch stop an extra layer halfway through the bucket.
I saw the trailer during the super bowl, I think; I can remember none of it, however. Tom Cruise is serviceable. I perennially watch Speilberg's War of the Worlds remake, which is a solid film. Spielberg's Minority Report (also starring Cruise) is a far superior science fiction film and a film in which Tom Cruise is actually really good.
And taking dad to see a blockbuster sci-fi film sounds fantastic.
I thought the War of the Worlds remake was terrible. Minority Report was ok, I loved it when it came out but I was pretty young. saw both those in theatres with my dad lol
Another Tom Cruise sci-fi? aside from his case of the crazies he is a pretty fine actor. might check it out since it looks half-decent. I'm a sucker for sci-fi, can't help it.
Interesting that M83 are doing the soundtrack. I'm betting it'll sound better than Daft Punk's soundtrack for TRON: Legacy even though it had its moments.
love M83 and love Susanne Sundfor. movie looks awesome as well so i am excited for this
also a sucker for sci-fi. I'd probably check out this movie just to hear the M83 song in it. I'm a bigger sucker for M83, in this regard.
Not just an m83 song, an entire soundtrack. We're talking 15-20 songs.

It is a mistake to assume that content development is an assumed talent, or that it can be an afterthought in the digital marketing realm. Content strategy is more than writing for the web. There is a science and strategy behind developing quality content for web pages, blogs, advertisements and social media. And although every successful copywriter must have a foundation of basics writing skills, such as subject matter expertise, an engaging style and tone, and basic grammar usage, there is much more to being a content king.

Twice, Apple has stared down the barrel of organized customer dissatisfaction and dissent given life through Internet-enabled technologies. The first involved the iPod's built-in battery and Apple's $255 mail-in replacement service—not what you want to hear when your iPod, which you paid $300 for 18 months ago, goes dead and you call into customer service. But that's exactly what the Neistat brothers were told, and what eventually sparked their creating an online short film that records their conversation with Apple's customer service, recounts their subsequent graffiti campaign, and has since received over one million page hits (www.ipodsdirtysecret.com).
The second potential PR slipup came during the weeks preceding Macworld, when disgruntled owners of dual USB iBooks gathered in protest. Their complaints all centered on a common problem, that of a faulty logic board; yet, some who called Apple about their disabled laptops were given the impression that their's was an isolated case. This led Brendan Carolan to start a petition at www. petitiononline.com/ibook123/ calling for Apple to "provide recourse to this problem by either extending the warranty on the logic boards to cover all purchasers of said machines, or by offering reasonable replacement options other than the current replacement logic board, which has been proven faulty." Over 1,700 malcontents have since signed it, and there are now rumblings of a class action lawsuit (www.blackcider.com ). Apple has yet to acknowledge that a problem even exists.
While these incidents are bound to tarnish the perception of Apple as a premium brand to some degree, a potentially more interesting issue has emerged: the role of the Internet in uniting geographically separate customers under a common ideology in an effort to affect corporate policy. The petition has long been a tool of grassroots organizations to raise awareness of and supporters for various issues. But these petitions were almost universally pen-on-paper. Now, you can create or sign one from the comfort of your desk—wherever it might be and wherever the petition may have originated. And while this has led to some potentially embarrassing situations for negligent corporations, "companies do want to hear what the public thinks," states John Blossom, president of Shore Communications. "Think of what IBM is doing with Web Fountain. Things like petitiononline.com are key fodder for mining public opinion."
But the point of petitions isn't improved market research, it's about empowering the singular voice of a group of individuals. "Public opinion is powerful when heard in volume," states Blossom. "Only when you get a voice en masse will the media hear it." Petitions also offer a way to filter out the riffraff that can be associated with artificial attempts to gauge public opinion. Blossom points to an example of a financial company that has open discussion boards related to stocks, but which draws a lot of ex-employees and people who got burned by bad stock tips, "these types of venues tend to attract malcontents," he explains. Sites like petitiononline.com attempt to avoid some of this by asking for specific information from the user about the complaint before allowing them to sign it. In the case of the iBook petition, this means that petitioners must include the model number of their laptop along with the number of failures it has suffered. (Though it remains to be seen if failsafes such as these are sufficient to ensure the accuracy of a digital petition.)
Can petitions really make a difference in corporate policy? Blossom says, "I think they already do, either explicitly or implicitly." At the same time he says, "I don't think this is going to be a Nader's Raiders...the tail can't wag the dog on this." He continues, "These forms provide an effective voice that can shape corporate actions."
While nothing has been heard from Apple as to what their reaction to the iBook petition will be, they have been responsive to public opinion in the past, like introducing a $99 battery replacement service for their iPod. Of course, that change may have had more to do with the introduction of the iPod Mini and its $249 price tag than the Neistat brothers' video. How will Apple choose to handle this latest snafu? They did not respond to my inquiries, so only time will tell. What I do know is that online petitions represent the latest way in which the Internet has replaced a tried-and-true grassroots method of raising public awareness with a model that has a broader scope, is easier on the feet, and couldn't be any simpler.

I read your recent editorial, "The subtler side of religious bigotry" (Feb. 5), with interest. I don't intend to apologize for the actions of the "left" leaning media, but I am curious, when you express concern for "civil discourse, understanding, and decency … " how you turn a blind eye to the campaign tactics being employed these days by Mitt Romney.
Over 95 percent of his $5 million plus advertising campaign in Florida was characterized as "negative." Several unbiased third parties fact checked his ads and found they were full of untruths and blatant inaccuracies.
Does Romney's LDS faith give him a pass with the Deseret News editorial board? Are we willing to overlook his disrespect and lack of "decency and civil discourse" because we are so anxious to see a Mormon elected president? Perhaps Romney's penchant for pandering to his audience lends credence to the disrespect held by some for those of the LDS faith.

CHICAGO, March 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Zacks Equity Research discusses the Retail, including Staples Inc. (Nasdaq:SPLS-Free Report), Macy's Inc. (NYSE:M-Free Report), Nordstrom Inc. (NYSE:JWN-Free Report) and Chico's FAS Inc. (NYSE:CHS-Free Report).
Industry: Retail
Link: http://www.zacks.com/commentary/31691/
The retail industry is rapidly evolving with a dramatic change in consumer buying habits. Consumers today are knowledgeable, more inquisitive and choosy. Satisfying customers and enriching their buying experience require new strategies. Modern retailing, interestingly enough, is a new game with new rules.
According to the National Retail Federation's (NRF) monthly economic review published on Feb 6, 2014, retail industry sales (excluding automobiles, gas stations and restaurants) is projected to grow 4.1% for 2014, modestly higher than the preliminary 3.7% growth registered in 2013. Further, given the recent boom in the digital world, NRF anticipates solid growth for the online business this year capturing growth rates in the 9% – 12% range against 10.3% growth in 2013.
Some of the trends that are expected to rule the retail sector going forward include increased technological solutions, incorporating customer feedback and targeting additional audiences with products and services.
Omnichannel Retailing the New Norm: The sluggish U.S. economy and continued weakness in Europe have driven retailers to focus on buyers' needs and lure them with innovative products, attractive discounts, free shipping and the ease of shopping through smartphones and tablets. As these efforts failed to pay off, retailers felt the need for a better channel to connect with customers and engage them through all possible means.
This gave rise to the "omnichannel" approach, which focuses on providing more touch points and multiple channels to customers. This approach facilitates the use of all possible mediums to engage consumers, including brick and mortar stores, online and mobile at the same time or alternatively.
This strategy provides customers the ease of selection, purchase and exchange of a product through multiple channels. For example, a customer may select a product online, buy it through his phone and may have the option to exchange the same by visiting a store without any hassle. Some retailers who are already benefiting from this strategy include Staples Inc. (Nasdaq:SPLS-Free Report), Macy's Inc. (NYSE:M-Free Report), Nordstrom Inc. (NYSE:JWN-Free Report) and Chico's FAS Inc. (NYSE:CHS-Free Report).
Personalized in-store Experience: With the growth of the .com era and an evolved consumer, retailers are pulling up their socks to reinvent their marketing style, evolving from the previous mass advertising and promotions format to a more personalized method, which will impress today's omnichannel customer. The consumer today seeks a more direct communication through an app on their smartphone or an internet chat on the company's website. Moreover, the customers prefer tailored offers and recommendations online as well as in stores.
Increasing Use of Mobile Wallet Technology: With everything in retail undergoing a sea change, the modes of payment used when shopping have also evolved drastically. The increasing use of smartphones, tablets and mobile technology has given rise to a new mobile application called 'mobile wallet' through which customers can be make payments instantly using their smartphones or tablets. Though cash and credit cards will remain the primary payment methods, the use of mobile wallets is catching up quickly among mobile users for the convenience it offers.
The popularity of this app among customers is driving retailers to adapt this payment mode by collaborating with some of the mobile wallet providers available in the market like PayPal, Google Wallet, Square Wallet, Dwolla, and more.

Dasgip and the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology (IZI) are partnering conducting stem-cell research to find alternatives to drug testing that do not require animals. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research is subsidizing this project to the tune of €1.1 million.
About 50% of preclinical tests are performed to explore the bone harming and thus the embryotoxic potential of drug candidates, the collorators note. Nicole zur Nieden, leader of the stem cell group at the Fraunhofer Institute, is developing a method to identify the bone harming potential in vitro. Dasgip will contribute its bioreactor system to the project.
Nieden's work involves simulating and monitoring the multiphase differentiation process of pluripotent stem cells in a controlled bioreactor system. By adding compounds with known in vivo osteotoxic potential, adverse effects on the differentiation will be identified. Nonhuman embryonic primate stem cells will be compared to human progenitor cells to study varying molecular reactions compared to mice.

Uploading my picture and fitting it how I wanted it was really simple to do. When my canvas came, it was exactly as I choose it and looks great on my wall now. Seems to be a real quality frame and picture is superb. Only downside is I wish I could've paid with my card not through Paypal but all is good. Would recommend, yes.

Cosmetic creams cannot repair skin from within: Study
London: Researchers have found that even the most expensive cosmetic creams cannot `penetrate` the skin to repair it from within as claimed by manufacturers.
Scientists at the University of Bath found that claims by pharmaceutical brands that nanoparticles in their products give their creams a `deep penetrating action` are `patently` untrue.
Even the tiniest of nanoparticles do not penetrate the skin`s surface, creams are simply deposited into creases in the skin and do not carry nutrients deep under the surface, the study found.
"Whereas earlier work has suggested that nanoparticles appear to penetrate the skin, our results indicate that they may in fact have simply been deposited into a deep crease within the skin sample," Professor Richard Guy, a professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences who led the research, said.
"The skin`s role is to act as a barrier to potentially dangerous chemicals and to reduce water loss from the body. Our study shows that it is doing a good job of this," Guy said.
"So, while an unsuspecting consumer may draw the conclusion that nanoparticles in their skin creams, are `carrying` an active ingredient deep into the skin, our research shows this is patently not the case," Guy was quoted as saying by the paper.
Researchers studied particles less than one hundredth of the thickness of a human hair which are used in sunscreens and some cosmetic and pharmaceutical creams.
They used a technique called laser scanning confocal microscopy to examine whether fluorescently-tagged polystyrene beads, ranging in size from 20 to 200 nanometres, were absorbed into the skin.
The study found that even when the skin sample had been partially compromised by stripping away layers, the nanoparticles still did not penetrate the skin?s outer layer, known as the stratum corneum.
"We did the study very carefully but not once we were able to determine that that were able to cross the outside layer of the skin which is out protective layer," Guy said.
"There is no magic associated with particles being able to wriggle across the skin, they are just too big to do that. We actually have lots of nanoparticles inside us that don`t get out," he added.
He said that the research did however help to prove that potentially harmful ingredients, such as those used in sunscreens, can not be absorbed into the body, alleviating fears.
The research was published in the Journal of Controlled Release.

Comverse Technology is being acquired by Verint Systems Inc. in an all-stock deal that will free Verint from Comverse's majority control.
Comverse Technology Inc., which makes voicemail and cellphone billing software, will spin off its telecommunications business, Comverse Inc., prior to the transaction with Verint. The spinoff is expected to be complete by October's end.
Comverse Technology currently holds about 41 percent of Verint's outstanding common stock and all of its outstanding convertible preferred shares. If that stock was converted, New York-based Comverse would own 53.7 percent of Verint, which is based in Mellville, N.Y.
As part of the deal, Comverse Technology will receive about 27.5 million Verint shares and up to an additional $25 million in Verint stock.
The company estimated that Comverse Tech shareholders will get about 0.13 shares of Verint for each share held.
In morning trading, shares of Comverse Technology added 6 cents to $5.76. Over the past year, the stock has traded between $5.13 and $7.45.
Verint shares added 16 cents to $28.55.
This agreement, along with the planned spin-off of Comverse Inc., will result in a tax-efficient distribution to our shareholders and direct ownership in two independent, well-capitalized publicly-traded companies," Comverse Technology Chairman and CEO Charles Burdick said in a statement.
Comverse Technology and Verint's boards have approved the transaction. Verint's board includes four Comverse-affiliated directors. The company said Monday that it expects two of those board members will be replaced with independent directors before the acquisition closes. The remaining two Comverse-affiliated directors are expected to resign when the acquisition occurs.
The acquisition still needs the approval of Verint and Comverse Technology shareholders and a majority of Verint common stock not held by Comverse or its subsidiaries.
The transaction is expected to close in 2013′s first quarter.

Absolute denial of the ultimate nullifier by Curl Up And Die
bury the knife deep
within my chest
and with one last kiss goodbye
i'll shut my eyes for a final time.
whether or not i found this falling
i will carry the strength of the dead
and be buried by the fear of these thoughts.
and just like those pictures,
i am melting through your hands.
these demons dividing,
they burned out our one sun
and i cower beneath it all.
i'll find them overhead.
death from above

Latest update June 30th, 2016 12:59 AM
Jan 01, 2013 News Comments Off on Food and drink prices to rise in 2013
Food prices went up by 3.3 per cent in 2012 and are expected to increase by 4.5 per cent in 2013, according to Prestige Purchasing's annual food inflation report.
David Read, CEO of Prestige Purchasing, presented the findings to members of the catering and hospitality industry at the Goring Hotel in London last night.
The rate of inflation for vegetables hit 5.5 per cent in 2012, while the price of potatoes, pork and alcohol are expected to rise considerably over the next year.
Read said: "Personally, I have really felt the impact of climate change this year – it is having a major impact on food pricing and, if anything, the weather will become more volatile."
Poor harvests in 2012 led to an increase in the price of vegetables, with potatoes particularly hit due to chip manufacturers competing for the highest quality potatoes to supply to caterers.
The report found that the rate of inflation for drinks rose to four per cent, partly due to rising commodity costs of some grains and sugars used in alcohol production and also poor grape harvests in France, Italy and Argentina. Over the next six months, wine is expected to rise by 30-40 pence per bottle. The dairy industry has also been hit as the supermarkets drive prices down, which is having a knock-on effect on associated products such as cheese and yogurt. Read said caterers and hospitality operators are expected to feel the biggest impact.
Read added that markets are suffering from speculators seeking profits. "People betting on future prices of commodities is a major source of volatility for food prices. Instability is bad for farmers but great for traders," he told SM.
Population growth is forecast to double in the next 50 years, which will put more pressure on food resources, and increased trade in the third world is also having an impact on prices.
But there was some good news for buyers as the prices of oils and fats are expected to continue to fall as palm oil stocks are high. Producers are also switching to soya for feed because it is cheaper than grain and a by-product is soya oil, which is easing prices in the market.
Read recommended three options for organisations to overcome rising prices; optimising distribution; benchmarking and insight; and source optimisation. Depending on the size of a business and the amount of purchasing power it has, Read said there are four buying options; cash and carry; wholesale; hybrid; and central distribution.
He recommended that businesses with a low-spend take a cash-and-carry approach while large buyers should buy products direct from the supplier to get the best value.
