I don't think that the cause of CRPS is all that mysterious. We know that experimental manipulation of the periphery in experimental animals--amputation or nerve transection-- can lead to changes in their central sensory pathways and cortical sensory maps. We know that amputation in humans is often accompanied by the sense that the limb is still there, and that sometimes this semsation is profoundly dysphhoric--suggesting that what alteration that goes on centrally in response to this extreme manipulation of the periphery leads to a pattern of activity that is painful. We know that many individuals who develop CRPS after local trauma--an ankle sprain, for example--develop pain and autonomic changes in other body regions that are remote from the original trauma--e.g., in the other foot, or a hand. This "spread" of symptoms and signs likely takes place at a central level--in the spinal cord, brainstem, or thalalmus. I can think of no mechanism other than plasticity of central synaptic connections in the pain pathways to explain all of this. Now that we can image pain with fMRI, we can begin to test this hypothesis.
Understanding Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Understanding Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
To say the medical community's knowledge of chronic pain is scant is something of an understatement. We still don't understand the etiology of most cases of many common chronic pain conditions including low back pain and headaches. But of all the chronic pain syndromes we have identified by name, none is as misunderstood by physicians and patients alike as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) types I and II, the current names for symptom constellations previously called reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) and causalgia, respectively. Our limited knowledge about this disorder, its etiology, and effective management means that patients who suffer what is frequently very severe pain are often misdiagnosed and do not receive appropriate treatment.
Many physicians are still relatively unfamiliar with this disorder even though the first in- depth description was made more than 150 years ago by the physician often considered the father of American neurology S. Weir Mitchell, and his colleagues based on their observations of soldiers wounded in the Civil War. They noted that some soldiers who were wounded in the hand or foot developed a burning pain that was exacerbated by touching the affected body part and persisted long after the wounds appeared to have healed. This syndrome was named causalgia, Greek for "burning pain."
Similar conditions were described over the years and given a variety of names including post-traumatic injuries, algodystrophy, and Sudeck's atrophy. In 1953 John Bonica, one of the pioneers in the study of pain, suggested that these disorders be subsumed under the term "reflex sympathetic dystrophy." The term proved confusing for the general public and so particularly problematic for patients who were given the diagnosis. Common understanding of a "reflex" is as a response to a hammer tap on the knee during a physical examination and the only type of "dystrophy" known to most people is the completely unrelated disease muscular dystrophy. "Sympathetic" carried no clinical meaning for friends or family of a patient diagnosed with RSD but may perhaps have been taken to mean that people should receive sympathy for their suffering.
The validity of the term also was frequently questioned from a medical viewpoint. One of the major problems was uncertainty about the role of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) in this disorder. The fact that there is a great deal of variability in response to sympathetic blocks suggests that in many patients the pain is not due to dysfunction of the SNS. Also, whether the syndrome is a reflex response to anything is open to question and not all patients develop dystrophic changes.
General confusion around the terms RSD and causalgia prompted the International Association for the Study of Pain in its 1994 classification of chronic pain to re-name these syndromes.1 RSD became complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) Type I and causalgia CRPS Type II. The difference between Types I and II is that in the latter there is evidence of a definable nerve lesion. (The acronym CRPS is commonly pronounced "crips" rhyming with "chips.")
The incidence of CRPS is unclear. Patients with symptoms of CRPS frequently see a number of physicians before being diagnosed correctly, so it appears that many cases are never diagnosed. CRPS Type I especially may go unrecognized because of the absence of an identifiable peripheral nerve injury. CRPS almost always follows some form of trauma to the affected body part, usually an extremity.The trauma can range in severity from surgery to accidental injury to chronic overuse, all of which cause expected pain and so physicians may overlook the diagnosis.
Using an electronic database and searching for patients with the diagnosis of CRPS or its synonyms and symptoms suggesting CRPS, Dutch researchers found an overall incidence rate of 26.2 new cases per 100 000 annually.2 This translates into approximately 50 000 new cases per year in the United States.
Studies that examined specific patient populations that had suffered traumatic injuries to extremities found CRPS to be fairly common. For example, a study of patients with fractures of the distal radius reported that 18% developed CRPS Type I.3 Another study of 162 soldiers wounded in the Iraqi war who were seen in pain clinics reported that 4.3% suffered CRPS Type II and 1.9% CRPS Type I.4 Because many patients with CRPS appear "normal" (ie, no overt signs of injury); because the pain often seems so bizarre (ie, out of apparent proportion to the nature of the original injury, lasting beyond when pain would have been expected to resolve); and because many health care professionals do not recognize signs and symptoms of the syndrome, patients may be mislabeled as either exaggerating their pain for secondary gain or even of malingering. One of the saddest things is that these patients may be stigmatized as falsifying their discomfort—by peers, by family, and unfortunately by physicians. Even as a pain specialist, CRPS is the last pain disorder I would consider faking. To even begin to provide what would be even close to a valid story supporting the presence of CRPS would require knowledge of the disorder far beyond what most people, including most health care professionals, possess.
Unknown etiology
What causes CRPS remains a mystery. As it virtually always follows an injury of some kind, it would appear that some anatomic or physiologic change occurs. There doesn't appear to be any correlation, however, between the severity of the trauma and the development of the long-lasting and typically burning pain. In fact, the original injury may be nearly insignificant, for example banging one's hand or foot hard enough to cause acute pain but without suffering any apparent fracture or other marked injury. Nor have any reliable predictive factors for who will develop CRPS been discovered. It remains unknown whether there are changes at a level which we aren't yet able to measure or if there is something different about the people who develop the syndrome.
A variety of physiologic mechanisms have been proposed. The classic view that the pain is due to hyperactivity of the SNS has been discounted though the SNS appears to be involved in some of the symptoms, most notably the edema, blood flow, and sudomotor changes. Currently, CRPS is believed to be the result of a combination of peripheral and central factors. Among the proposed peripheral mechanisms are an inflammatory process, peripheral sensitization, and changes in sodium channels.5 These processes may result in central changes including an exaggerated response to peripheral input and a reduction of descending inhibitory pathways.
Because the severity of the original trauma often does not correlate with the level of ongoing pain reported by many CRPS patients, attention has often focused on the role of psychological factors in the development of the pain. Despite this speculation, there are no consistent findings of a correlation between pre-existing mental health disorders and the development of CRPS. It has been proposed, however, that there may be brain changes, most notably in the primary sensory cortex, secondary to the CRPS and that these can lead to a distorted body image where patients perceive that the affected limb is larger than it actually is.6,7 What role these changes may play in the pain and other symptoms of CRPS is still the subject of speculation.

Reply from Dr Steven King:
I thank Dr. Jacobson for his comment on CRPS. It is true that we can cause similar pain condition in animals. However, I disagree with him about how much we know about its etiology. As noted in my article, the pain only occurs in a minority of patients who suffer the type of injuries with which it is usually associated and there is no apparent correlation between the severity of the injury and likelihood of developing CRPS. Nor do we have any predictive factors for who will develop it.
The concept of whether CRPS spreads is a controversial one. In most patients for whom it is reported to have spread elsewhere in the body, there is additional pain but not the autonomic changes present at the original site. Although this apparent spread of the pain has often been cited as being unique to CRPS, in fact it commonly occurs with many other chronic pain conditions.
Finally, the role of central versus peripheral factors is an important one not only for CRPS but for many other chronic pain conditions including low back pain. We still don't know whether CRPS results from the initial injury causing ongoing pathology in the affected part of the body, changes in the brain that are a response to the injury, or a combination of both.
Of all the speculations as to the etiology of CRPS, I find the proposal that there may be a change in the primary sensory cortex the most interesting. This would explain to a degree the "bizarre" presentation of the pain. In some ways it reminds me of fibromyalgia, where patients appear to have heightened sensitivity to pain.

Both sides want to rewrite history. The Liberals want the Pre-Civil War South to be seen as nothing but a slave-owning, backwards, uneducated slum and the.. not really Conservatives or Republicans.. .let's say, Native Southerns want to change the reason why the Civil War was fought. Naturally, they're both wrong and the truth is somewhere in the middle.
The South was a progressive place, full of well-educated cities, exceptional people and a reliable economy driving a quickly expanding marketplace. But, those people we able to build that wonderful place because labor costs were substantially less thanks to slavery. Even if you didn't have any, everyone in the South benefited from slave labor - expect the actual slaves. So when certain people at the federal level decided that slavery was no longer something it wished to federally endorse, the Southern states declared that slavery was part of the state's rights and succeeded. The South lost, the North burned its beautiful history along with the bad history, and we started the slow process of incorporation and healing. This is something that everyone knows, but most people don't like talking about.
Those people who had relatives fighting for Confederacy want it to remember as a war started over the federal government's overreach in what they believed to be a state's right issue. Unfortunately for those people, the Confederate state's main and almost only state's right argument at the time was of the legality of slavery. And no matter how much they try to convince themselves that Great, Great Grandpa died a noble death, he still died fighting over whether or not a state or the federal government had the right to say whether or not people could be bought and sold as property. All this is mutually agreed upon by everyone but a few stragglers who don't want Great, Great Grandpa linked to slavery (He never had slaves! He was doing what he was told! Slavery wasn't that bad because of XYZ! Didn't some black person own slaves somewhere? That makes it okay!).
The Liberals, bless their souls, always try to paint the entire South as a backwoods, inbred, place who is and always will be wrong. It's a lazy argument and factually incorrect in almost every way. As anyone who has spent time in up north knows, there are pockets of ignorance everywhere.
The President of Emory's problem was that he tried to sugarcoat the whole thing by telling the entirety of story as if it were only simple compromise issue made between politicians who meant well. The reality of the war cannot be that myopic and is definitely not that simple. To even suggest otherwise is an insult to both sides and history in general.

C A+F Campus Dining: Breakfast is awesome. Lots of cereal and sandwiches consumed for dinner and lunch gets kind of boring.
B A+F Campus Dining: Dining halls have a variety of food and menus and many of the residential colleges have special dinner nights. However choosing where to eat becomes a bit more convoluted when one must decide their sophomore year whether to remain in the dining hall system, join an eating club, go independent, etc. This can cause some anxiety about not being in the same club as friends and being able to have meals with them but otherwise the off-campus options are pretty good and the dining staff here is excellent.
A+ A+F Campus Dining: Dining halls are consistent, and the eating clubs all have their own specialities. The options in town are great too - don't miss out on a steak at Witherspoon Grill (for a very special occasion). Wings from Chuck's are little-known but awesome.
A- A+F Campus Dining: Better Than Average – Wide variety of food across the four dining halls, though Forbes is significantly worse than the others. After an entire semester it gets somewhat repetitive but there are a lot of options and a large array of vegetarian choices.
B A+F Campus Dining: Pretty Good for Dorm Food – I wouldn't say that the food is fantastic, but there are definitely a ton of options as far as dining goes. Aside from eating clubs, there are four different residential dining halls, and late meals at Frist student center (opportunities to get a meal after lunch and dinner)--so if you feel like the food is getting old, it's probably because you aren't trying out all the different options. Also there are a ton of healthy options, but a ton of unhealthy ones as well; avoiding the freshman 15 is all about control.

The strength of Princeton's dining hall facilities is that they have many options. While the food in the hot line tends to be somewhat tasteless and boring-although that is changing-events such as the visiting restaurant night more than make up for it. Sunday brunch is by far the best meal of the week, and students are more than willing to struggle out of bed on Sunday mornings to get to the dining halls for made-to-order omelets and bagels and lox. Eating in the dining halls does get boring after two years, so the vast majority of students opt to go independent, join a co-op, or join an eating club. The food quality at the co-ops and the eating clubs is varied. While some clubs brag award-winning chefs, others complain about a constant barrage of fried foods. The common thread that students enjoy in both the eating clubs and the dining halls is an active social scene, and meal time at Princeton is seen generally more as a social hour than a period of nourishment.
Despite the exciting dining options readily available, they do not come without a huge cost and relative inflexibility in scheduling. The lack of a 24-hour campus dining facility can be frustrating during exam periods, but the University has promised to address that issue. Furthermore, the costly dues of the eating clubs leave them open to those who can afford it, thus leaving the clubs open to the critique that they are active remnants of Princeton's elitist history. Independents also complain about the high cost of food in the town of Princeton and the dearth of a major grocery store within walking distance. Essentially, Princeton's dining facilities offer many options to students for a price.

It is great seeing the car again. Your dad also drove that car on the 1995 Mustangs Across America run from California to Bellevue, WA. A relative flew out from the East coast to do the run with your dad. We meet the group in Medford, OR and came with them into Bellevue. Your dad also showed the car at Mustangs Northwest display show at Alderwood Mall around Father's day for a couple of years. Glad to see the car is still in the family. Hope to see you on the 2014 Mustangs Across America run.

QUEBEC - It's the final day of campaigning in Quebec as voters prepare to cast their ballots Tuesday.
Premier Jean Charest has spent the final weekend on the hustings repeatedly warning of economic turmoil if voters elect the sovereigntist Parti Quebecois.
Charest took a political slapshot on Sunday while campaigning in the province's capital region.
He warned a PQ government could jeopardize the chances of NHL hockey returning to Quebec City.
Charest suggested the league would be less likely to favour putting a team in Quebec City because of the economic instability a PQ government would bring.
Recent polls have given the PQ the nod in they suggest is a tight three-way race with Charest's Liberal party and the upstart Coalition for Quebec's Future.
The fledgling party's leader Francois Legault has also spent the weekend talking about economic uncertainty under a PQ government determined to hold a sovereignty referendum.
PQ leader Pauline Marois has spent her last weekend of the campaign pleading for voters to give her a majority mandate.

MISSOULA - The cold weather may have played a role in a UM employee falling off the Jumbotron at Washington Grizzly stadium Saturday.
Battalion Chief Dave Wolter says the man fell six to eight feet off a ladder onto the catwalk below.
The city fire department responded using high-angle rescue techniques to get the man down safely.
Wolter says the worker is being treated with minor injures at St. Patrick Hospital.
Fire officials didn't know why the man was out working.

Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal can bring long-lasting results to your face, underarm, bikini line, and legs. Read on for more about whom it's for, how it works, and what it costs.
How do lasers remove hair? With laser hair removal, a clinician zaps your hair follicles with a laser that targets the dark pigment (melanin) in the hair. The laser's heat kills the hair follicle, and the hair falls out ten to 14 days later. Laser hair removal works best on people with dark hair and light skin, since the laser beams can discolor darker skin. But newer lasers are designed for various skin colors. The procedure isn't very effective on light hair.
Because individual hairs are at different stages of their growth cycle, you'll need to repeat laser hair-removal treatments four to six times with about four weeks between visits. The spacing helps ensure that the hair follicles are destroyed at a time in their cycle when they won't regrow.
Who can perform laser hair removal? While some spas and salons perform the procedure, Mayo Clinic experts recommend having a trained doctor, or a nurse or physician's assistant under a doctor's supervision, wield the laser. There are also some laser hair-removal devices on the market for home use.
How much does it cost? The treatments can cost from $250 to $900 each, depending on the part of your body being treated, the facility you choose to visit, and the area of the country you live in.
What's the treatment like? To get ready, you'll need to skip waxing, threading, and plucking for three weeks before laser hair-removal treatment. Your clinician will tell you when to shave — probably one to three days beforehand, depending on the equipment. Stay out of the sun (and tanning beds) for six or more weeks beforehand — you don't want the laser beams targeting the pigmentation.
Treatment time varies depending on the part of the body. An experienced clinician can cover both legs in about two hours. Smaller spots such as the chin or lips may take just ten or 15 minutes.
You'll feel some stinging during the process. Taking an over-the-counter pain reliever a couple of hours before your visit can help. Your clinician may also offer you a topical pain reliever. Afterward, your skin may be red and sore, and you should stay out of the sun.
While no hair-removal process guarantees 100 percent hairlessness, laser hair removal may remove a lot of your unwanted hair for good.

Jimmy Heath
Jimmy Heath
The middle of the three Heath Brothers, Jimmy Heath has a distinctive sound on tenor, is a fluid player on soprano and flute, and a very talented arranger/composer whose originals include "C.T.A." and "Gingerbread Boy." He was originally an altoist, playing with Howard McGhee during 1947-1948 and the Dizzy Gillespie big band (1949-1950). Called "Little Bird" because of the similarity in his playing to Charlie Parker, Heath switched to tenor in the early '50s. Although out of action for a few years due to "personal problems," Heath wrote for Chet Baker and Art Blakey during 1956-1957. Back in action in 1959, he worked with Miles Davis briefly that year, in addition to Kenny Dorham and Gil Evans, and started a string of impressive recordings for Riverside. In the 1960s, Heath frequently teamed up with Milt Jackson and Art Farmer, and he also worked as an educator and a freelance arranger. During 1975-1982, Jimmy Heath teamed up with brothers Percy and Tootie in the Heath Brothers, and since then has remained active as a saxophonist and writer. In addition to his earlier Riverside dates, Jimmy Heath has recorded as a leader for Cobblestone, Muse, Xanadu, Landmark, and Verve. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi

The Third World's War
Although never a "hot" war between the superpowers, the Cold War was waged partly through a series of proxy wars in Third World countries from Guatemala to Korea to Vietnam. Although a great deal of attention has been devoted to a select number of U.S. Interventions in the Third World, there is an urgent need to see the "Third World's War" in perspective, showing how successful the Soviet Union was in pursuing a strategy of fomenting revolution and how consistently successive U.S. administration

How to Avoid Financial Crises in the Future
Lots of people did many stupid things for us to get into the current financial mess. Now, the government is stepping up efforts to impose stricter financial regulations to ensure that such things do not happen in future. Will more regulation work? If history is any guide, the answer is no. Over the last 100 years, we've had a financial crisis every 15-20 years. Every time one took place, the government would step in and impose more regulation - only for another crisis to occur 15-20 years later.

The Impact of Three Cognitive Functions on Digital Media Aided Architectural Ideation: A Proposed In
From a cognitivist perspective the architectural design seen as an iterative process of search for an ?acceptable? solution from initial design assumptions (Simon 1974) requires representation. These representation which may be internal (mental/cognitive activities) and external (sketches 3D models) are essential to any creative act and in all phases of the design process since they constitute a projection of the architect?s thought and know-how.

A small company in Dublin is making a lot of money selling Irish dirt.
The Auld Sod Exporting Company started selling bags of Irish soil to "nostalgic" Americans years ago, reports the Irish Independent. Their customers tend to be people who wish to buried on Irish soil.
Pat Burke, from Tipperary, had the idea when he attended a funeral in America five years ago.
"Pat Burke was regularly asked by a family friend to bring a piece of the auld sod over to America for him to sprinkle on the caskets of recently departed loved ones; which is quite a tradition in the States," managing director John Beckett told the Independent.
Funeral directors soon began placing regular orders for bags of the Irish dirt as part of their services.
Because the US Department of Agriculture was concerned of foreign soil microbes being imported into the US, the company had to sanitize the soil before they could be granted an importation license.
"We have a specially patented process for cleansing the soil and we are now the only people in the world who can export Irish soil to the USA. The soil, which is sourced in Tipperary, is dark brown, feels really nice and smells beautiful," said Beckett.
The soil is also sometimes bought to be used for sprinkling on the foundations or a new house or even to be thrown as wedding confetti.
One pound of the Irish dirt, which comes in a presentation canister, sells for $15.

Would be happy to sell a bundle of the dust bunnies in my studio apartment in the West Village. $50 each. Let me know if interested.
Forget about 1 square foot of Ireland: Take a look at property for sale in County Kerry.They're almost giving houses away.
Idiocy! Dirt that comes with an expiration date. Just gave mine to the Salvation Army.
I, myself,have purchased four bags of Irish dirt...one for each of my sons and one for myself...I also bought us each a square foot of land in Ireland to go with the dirt! It's a unique gift, to say the least, and we can all brag that we now own a piece of Ireland! It's well worth the price. I want to be remembered for the gifts I have given my kids...I want them to be able to laugh when they think about Mom and her gifts, one day. They always count on the fact that they will not find clothing or other necessaries under the tree for them!
How do I invest?

The sage Hillel summarized the entire Torah by saying, "That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn it."
Sometimes it is hard to help people, and sometimes you can help people by just using whatever it is you have at the time – even an amazing fishing rod.

Is anyone else alarmed by the way extended warranties are sold on just about anything and everything? It means one of two things – either someone has found a great way of getting consumers to part with more of their hard earned dollars or manufacturers have no faith in their own products.

As I described Gaon in a review in June 2001 ("In Search of Ancestors, Sculpture by Simon Gaon" at Yeshiva University Museum), his Bukharian Jewish roots are deeply embedded on both sides of his family, echoed in his early yeshiva education.
Let me begin by congratulating my dear machatunim, Soraya and Jay Nimaroff, on being the recipients of the Community Service Award at the Sderot Hesder Institutions 18th annual anniversary dinner.
Think of your issues this way: due to those different backgrounds, you have a "shovel" to deal with difficulties while he has a "spoon".
Do you remember the good old days when kids were kids and there was never anything to worry about? Those days never really existed, but today there are issues kids worry about that weren't issues for some adults. They include fear of bullying, natural disasters, divorce, and violence.
In Part I talked about celebrating 30 years of Regesh Family and Child Services providing services to children, teens and families. I shared the agency's origin and the many lessons I have learned through this journey. As I mentioned, it is my hope that my experiences will add to your toolbox of life skills.
Unfortunately, a map of the Middle East with no mention of Israel is nothing new… It is surprising however, that the world's largest publisher of children's literature, Scholastic Books, has joined in this trend.

But even though their medical situations were similar, how they mentally dealt with their new status quo was often as different as night and day.
How confusing it was growing up with conflicting messages. On the one hand, we were told, even admonished, to eat everything on our generously piled up plates (it was a sin to waste food), yet we were made to feel like we were a lower form of human being if we were overweight.
While in New York recently, I was invited to see a performance of "Waiting for Godot" – a multi-layered play on the human condition that I was introduced to in high school. What was fascinating and unique about this particular production was that this renowned play was being performed in Yiddish – with English and Russian subtitles beamed onto a screen for non-Yiddish speakers. (Staged by the New Yiddish Rep, at the Castillo Theatre, and directed by Moshe Yassur, it stars Shane Baker, David Mandelbaum, Rafael Goldwaser, Avi Hoffman and Nicholas Jenkins.)
Now and then my Bubby would open up about what she went through in the camps, of what she witnessed… From time to time she would talk about her baby sisters – twins – and how she would sew them identical dresses and braid their hair the same way challenging everyone to guess who was who.
Our community has a very different mindset – we live to have children. Each child is considered a bracha – a priceless commodity to cherish and nurture.
I read an article recently that described the fascinating phenomenon of mainstream, well-educated, responsible men and women deciding not to have children. According to the article, these people have given the matter a great deal of thought and have come to the conclusion that parenting is not for them.
Now and then you read or hear of a tragedy – typically a car accident – where those involved are suffering from life-threatening injuries or unfortunately have lost their lives. Frequently, in the initial reports, the victims remain nameless "pending notification of next of kin."

Say, I wanted to throw a couple of links onto the fire that you might find useful during the cold and potential snow. For help in anticipating the weather, I find the National Weather Service's Portland team does an excellent job of telling what they do and don't know. This is where many of the meteorologists on TV go for information. This link takes you straight to the source. You're smart...you can decode their lingo...click HERE. Another useful site is Fox 12's weather blog..Mark Nelson does a great job, and many very knowledgeable weather geeks weigh in as well. Click HERE for that.
Traffic cameras are a great tool for anticipating conditions, both in the Metro area and heading over the mountain. Oregon has an extensive network that you can access HERE.

Natural remedies for depression: Are they effective?
I've heard natural remedies for depression, such as St. John's wort, can work as well as antidepressants. Is that true?
from Daniel K. Hall-Flavin, M.D.
Natural remedies for depression aren't a replacement for medical diagnosis and treatment. But, for some people certain herbs and supplements do seem to work well. More studies are needed to determine which natural remedies for depression are most likely to help and what side effects they might cause. Here are four natural remedies that show promise:
- St. John's wort. This is an herb that's been used for centuries to treat a variety of ills, including depression. It's not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat depression in the United States, but it's a popular depression treatment in Europe. It may be helpful if you have mild or moderate depression. However, it should be used with caution — St. John's wort can interfere with a number of medications, including antidepressants, HIV/AIDS medications, drugs to prevent organ rejection after a transplant, birth control pills, blood-thinning medications and chemotherapy drugs.
- SAMe. This dietary supplement is a synthetic form of a chemical that occurs naturally in the body. The name SAMe (pronounced sam-EE) is short for S-adenosylmethionine (uh-den-o-sul-muh-THIE-o-neen). Like St. John's wort, SAMe isn't approved by the FDA to treat depression in the United States, but it's used in Europe as a prescription drug to treat depression. SAMe may be helpful, but more research is needed. In higher doses, SAMe can cause nausea and constipation.
- Omega-3 fatty acids. These fats are found in cold-water fish and in some nuts and certain plants. Omega-3 supplements are being studied as a possible treatment for depression and for depressive symptoms in people with bipolar disorder. While considered generally safe, the supplement can have a fishy taste, and in high doses, it may interact with other medications. Although eating foods with omega-3 fatty acids appears to have heart-healthy benefits, more research is needed to determine if it has an effect on preventing or improving depression.
- Saffron. Saffron extract might improve symptoms of depression, but more study is needed. High doses can cause significant side effects.
In the past, the quality of many dietary supplements on the United States market was often questionable. With increased oversight by the FDA, this concern is gradually lessening. But it's still best do some research before starting any dietary supplement. Make sure you're buying your supplements from a reputable company, and find out exactly what they contain.
Also keep in mind that some herbal and dietary supplements can cause potentially dangerous interactions with other medications. To be safe, talk to your doctor before taking a supplement for your depression.

NVIDIA today announced that it will provide the source code for the new NVIDIA CUDA LLVM-based compiler to academic researchers and software-tool vendors, enabling them to more easily add GPU support for more programming languages and support CUDA applications on alternative processor architectures. LLVM is a widely-used open source compiler infrastructure with a modular design that makes it easy to add support for new programming languages and processor architectures. It is used for a range of programming requirements by many leading companies, including Adobe, Apple, Cray, Electronic Arts, and others. The new LLVM-based CUDA compiler, which is enhanced with architecture support for NVIDIA's parallel GPUs, is included in the latest release of the CUDA Toolkit (v4.1), now available to the public. "Opening up the CUDA platform is a significant step," said Sudhakar Yalamanchili, professor at Georgia Institute of Technology and lead of the Ocelot project, which maps software written in CUDA C to different processor architectures. "The future of computing is heterogeneous, and the CUDA programming model provides a powerful way to maximize performance on many different types of processors, including AMD GPUs and Intel x86 CPUs." Enabling alternative approaches to programming heterogeneous parallel systems for domain-specific problems and future programming models will help accelerate the path to exascale computing. By releasing the source code to the CUDA compiler and internal representation (IR) format, NVIDIA is enabling researchers with more flexibility to map the CUDA programming model to other architectures, and furthering development of next-generation higher performance computing platforms. Software tools vendors can also access compiler source code technology to build custom solutions. "This initiative enables PGI to create native CUDA Fortran and OpenACC compilers that leverage the same device-level optimization technology used by NVIDIA CUDA C/C++," said Doug Miles, director of The Portland Group. "It will enable seamless debugging and profiling using existing tools, and allow PGI to focus on higher-level optimizations and language features." Early access to the CUDA compiler source code is available for qualified academic researchers and software tools developers by registering here. To learn more about the NVIDIA CUDA programming environment, visit the CUDA web site.
Does this mean PhysX on Radeon cards alone? If yes, well, YES please! Though i see it a bit unlikely to happen by AMD, only if someone codes it themself.
PhysX is a proptietery, nVidia only standart. It has a driver level lock to work on/with nVidia boards only. You can't just "code it yourself", there're laws that restrict it.
PhysX works through CUDA. Bypassing the hardlock in drivers is just an inconvenience imo. It was harder to reverse engineer the CUDA itself...
So? Point being...? You can not code PhysX to run on AMD hardware in any legitimate way. It's protected by law.
Howdy, you must be the new sheriff in these here parts? IMO makes more sense to offer PhysX to Radeon users but still keep the PPU a GeForce product- Win/Win. Presently, I'm sure a number of AMD/ATi users would love to use PhysX and pick up cheapie GTX460 (or similar), whilst still retaining their HDwhatever as primary graphics- seems like a no brainer. My secondary rig (Q9400/P45) uses the SLI hack...another case of Nvidia limiting it's own opportunities. Might make sense for Nvidia to keep it proprietry when they still produced mobo chipsets...now? Not so much. Personally I'd allow SLI free on all and any board that could support dual cards to maximize sales potential...but maybe I'm simple, who knows?
Uhm, yeah? nVidia bought out Ageia to own their tech. Nobody else can render it on their GPU unless they're looking to buy nVidia... It's not me who puts out these blocks, it's nVidia. Period. Send a support ticket to them to explain this, see if they care.
I'm not saying I have any idea what would be involved or how difficult it would be or that I even think it's feasible, but legitimacy has never stopped hackers before. Nobody said it had to be official.
In order to run PhysX "on" AMD hardware itself, you need the technology, which is under the property of nVidia. For that, you need to buy it from them. An "inofficial" hack is going to be public once made, and obviously they'll be one of the first to know about it. It's a non-possibility.
If they could reverse engineer and get it to work when it was locked down, they will get it to work easier, and better, now that the platform is open source. Are you new to the internet? All sorts of shit that's illegal is available, this is no exception. AMD has the technology to run that shit, but Nvidia controls the patents to it. So rather than pay licensing fees (assuming Nvidia even offered them) AMD chooses to just ignore PhysX since it only applies to like 5% of games released anyway.
Look, PhysX isn't the exact same thing as CUDA. It does work through it, but it's LOCKED to nVidia. There's no way to run it on AMD unless you're going to break laws. "PhysX" is under the registery of nVidia. It's owned by them and can't be re-applied. You're acting no different than a stupid AMD fanboy.
K. It gets released, people download it, nvidia gets it pulled from original servers, and people who downloaded it just share it over P2P. edit: And I hope you don't call me an AMD fanboy too, because I don't even really like them
The driver level block isn't protected by laws. It's just a simple line of code. You can break it. PhysX however IS protected by a law. In order to run it on a non-nVidia GPU, you have to pay nVidia. End of story.
Hey, I already stated I had no clue about what was actually necessary. All I was arguing was that the "legitimacy" of any potential hacks or whatever is irrelevant.
Nvidia's stance has been (I think) that 1. It's an Nvidia bought-and-paid-for tech, 2. JHH is a stubborn mule, and 3. Nvidia couldn't make PhysX workable with AMD unless they both *shockhorror* collaborated to ensure compatibility every time the PhysX engine is updated True enough. It would also make sense to offer PhysX to AMD card owners if Nvidia got something out of the deal (i.e. the use of an Nv card for PhysX processing). Realistically, an AMD card owner isn't going to jump ship to Nvidia based on some eye-candy in a few games...and if they are staying AMD, why not make a low/mainstream sale to those people who prefer an AMD primary GPU? Certainly makes more sense than locking half the gamers out of the tech. Sales + gaming goodwill. Having PhysX available to both AMD and Nvidia users would also likely help it become more widespread I would think. In the greater scheme of things, I think Nvidia opening up CUDA is just Nvidia covering it's bases. They probably see that OpenCL (Nvidia are part of the Khronos group) will gain traction over time, and that CUDA ports to OpenCL without too much difficulty. Most Dev's would likely know the same, so it looks as though Nvidia looks to widen CUDA uptake while still playing the "open source" cards.
I think you're missing the point. Nobody is claiming it means AMD can market or develop products that use PhysX, people are debating whether or not it can be cracked and programed to run natively on their cards. Currently it basically offloads the PhsyX processing to the CPU when it detects an AMD card and forces it to use some super awful Instruction Set from the early 2000's rather than a streamlined one. All people are interested in is whether or not this will make a hack possible that improves performance in PhysX-powered games when using AMD cards. Which it more than likely will since people won't have to spend tons of time on trial and error with reverse engineering. Not sure what prompted that considering you could not be any more wrong.
And how exactly are you expecting that to happen since AMD doesn't use CUDA? They use a VLIW architecture that renders differently per-shader. You could not be more wrong, not me.
Because with the platform it runs on openned they can find out exactly how everything works, then mix and match how it works with the way AMD GPU's function. Not exactly a complicated concept. People already have made various exploits that get PhysX running (poorly) on AMD platforms, so it's not completely impossible. They just waster hundreds of hours trying to find ways to get it to work since everything is locked down.
this is not a general public release, don't expect anything to come out of it. if you use CUDA to simulate your weapons of mass destructions you can now build your own processor (ASIC) and port CUDA to work with it, so you can simulate more and better
