On this week's Far Post Podcast (listen here), once we were done talking about the Revs' first-ever DP signing in Milton Caraglio, we had some random off-topic subjects come up (shocking, I know). As you'll hear on the podcast, some of these topics generated some tough questions that we decided we'd let our listeners/readers provide… Continue reading »

Alternative Breaks
Many Rhodes students choose to spend short breaks engaging in service projects outside the Memphis community. These alternative break service trips are highly popular not only in the Rhodes community, but increasingly in learning institutions across the nation. Rhodes College offers two different alternative break service programs-- Alternative Spring Break and Rhodes Rebuilds which travel both during the Fall break and the Spring.

But opponents say that the cost-cutting provisions probably won't work.
Devon Herrick, a health economist at the free-market National Center for Policy Analysis, said the law sets up a "slippery slope" that will increase costs, not lower them.
"If Congress and company have the legal authority to decide the minimum coverage you must have, all manner of lobbyists and special interests and providers for specific diseases will descend on Washington and state capitals, as they always have, to make sure that their respective services are covered by that mandate," Herrick said.
The law's supporters argue that without the requirement that people have insurance coverage while they're healthy, there won't be enough money in the risk pool to pay to take care of them when the need for health care eventually -- and inevitably -- arises.
"If people don't feel like paying, then get sick and go to the emergency room or the hospital, those people's costs will be added on to our insurance bills as they are today, which makes it much more expensive," Rother said.
Lower courts, different interpretations
The trail of legal challenges leading up to the Supreme Court has involved more than two dozen lawsuits and appeals.
Last June, the Cincinnati-based 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the individual mandate was valid because of the Constitution's Commerce Clause, which allows Congress to regulate commerce that takes place among states.
In August, a district judge in Florida ruled that the individual mandate was unconstitutional. However, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, which reviewed his decision, rejected that argument and found that the Affordable Care Act could stand even if the individual mandate provision were removed, Landers said.

- How to Read a Study Record
In recent years several reports have documented that Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) inhibitors induce neoplastic cells to undergo growth arrest, differentiation and/or apoptotic cell death. Recently, inhibitors of HDACs has also been shown to inhibit endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis in vivo. Several HDAC-inhibitors are currently in clinical trials as novel anticancer agents. Among these agents, ITF2357 has most recently been shown to be a potent inhibitor of the autonomous proliferation of haematopoietic cells from patients with myeloproliferative disorders carrying the JAK2 V617F mutation. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ITF2357 in the treatment of polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and myelofibrosis (MF)

Nominations for the 86th annual Academy Awards were announced on January 16th. Several of the films being honored were adapted from books.
The Wolf of Wall Street, based on Jordan Belfort's memoir, received 5 nominations, including Best Picture. In 1987, Belfort founded his brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont. He was shockingly successful, and his world was one of outrageous excess. His illegal dealings caught up with him, and in 1998, he was sentenced to 22 months in federal prison for securities fraud and money laundering. The Wolf of Wall Street reads more like fiction than memoir. This story was made for the big screen, and it's no surprise that it is a hit with audiences. Both Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill received individual nominations for acting, and Martin Scorsese was nominated for his work directing the film.
Philomena, starring Dame Judi Dench and partially filmed in Maryland, is based on Martin Sixsmith's Philomena: A Mother, Her Son, and a Fifty-Year Search. It is the heartbreaking story of Philomena Lee who was forced to give her son Anthony up for adoption because she was an unwed teenage mother in Ireland in the 1950s. She searched for the son who she had lost for decades. At the same time, her son, renamed Michael Hess after his adoption, was also trying to find her while dealing with personal struggles of his own. This poignant story is now an extraordinary film that received several Academy Award nominations, including one for Best Picture. Dench is also nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
The Oscars will be awarded on Sunday, March 2. BCPL has many of the nominated films available in our collection. to help you see the nominated performances for yourself. What film do you think deserves the coveted Best Picture award this year? Tell us what you think in the comments.
@Julie - American Hustle and 12 Years a Slave seem like the front-runners to me, but I haven't seen them all yet. Like you, I see a lot of movie-watching in my near future!
Thanks! I love the Oscars. As far as Best Picture nominees go, so far I've only seen "American Hustle" and "Gravity", but I'm going to have to give the edge to "12 Years a Slave", even without seeing it. I do plan on seeing as many as possible by March 2. What do you think has the edge in the Best Picture race?

After being inactive for several years, Morgan County Friends of the Library is once again functioning in our community.
This energetic group is devoted to serving our local library through fundraising efforts, increasing awareness of library services, promoting literacy, and assisting with any other needs not covered by the library operating budget.
In the few short months since the group reconvened, they have helped at the Downtown Christmas event as Santa's helpers, purchased book receipt printers for library patrons, helped a prospective Eagle Scout with a library beautification project, and are maintaining the Library in the Park.
The Library in the Park is a free book exchange located right next to the play area at Riverside Park, and was created by River Pinhey for his Eagle project. All patrons are asked to leave a book (or two!) if they take one.
Friends of the Library was founded in 1997 by Jill Boydstun, who was the Morgan librarian at the time.
The group sponsored several fundraising events in the past, including a luau and a 5K fun run.
The non-profit organization hosts an ongoing book sale at the library. They welcome and encourage book and movie donations to the library to help with this effort.
New this summer will be a concession stand at the Movies in the Park put on by Morgan City. They are also excited to support the library's Summer Reading Program with free ice cream treats from noon to 2 p.m. for those who sign up on kick-off day, Saturday, June 1.
The new committee includes Erin McAllister, Jo Burby, Jen Johnson, Teri Christensen and Amy Clark. They would welcome help or suggestions for future actions to benefit Morgan and our local library.
If you would like to become involved or have any ideas, please contact the library or call Jo at (801) 829-0900, Erin at (801) 829-8358, or speak with anyone on the committee.

11/2/12: Angel Dust
Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll have worked out that the mountains are cold right now. But how cold is cold? How do you explain -21°C to someone who hasn't experienced it?
First, you get up in the morning. Your windows have fought the elements hard, boasting thick condensation from your warm house while you watched TV last night. Now it's frozen, aditting defeat, a sheen of ice fused to the interior of the glass in your house. You turn on the tap; the pipes are frozen, hot & cold. You walk down to the garage to turn the water off, cursing your luck at having to brush your teeth at work again. You unlock the garage, turn the lever, walk out, lock it again...and a sliver of flesh sticks to the exposed key, tearing a fragile fingerprint.
You give up and go to work, then go snowboarding at lunchtime. At -21°C, the cold is everywhere; despite your multiple layers and insulators, the breeze snakes its way through your vent zips, boot seams and glove stitching. It gets under your helmet and whitens your ears, and the exposed skin on your face is frostnipped in minutes. Forget the buff; your warm breath wettens the material near your mouth and fuses it to your lips.
The one redeeming thing about the cold snap Chamonix is experiencing right now is the angel dust. The French call it 'le froid qui tombe', the falling cold, and it's a phenomenon that is so breathtakingly magical it's worth braving the chill. As you ski through the light midday mist, ice crystals lighter than air swirl around you, a floating world of rainbow-coloured diamonds. You soar through the light, feeling like you are seeing stars, but you've not got up too fast, you're just experiencing angel dust; one of the loveliest things you can have happen to you up there.
Piste conditions are fabulous, off piste hard and scratchy. There's been wind up high so there's no powder in the hills...just in the air.

At less than two weeks since the delivery of the first Beta development milestone for Opera 10.50, the second Beta snapshot is now available for download. Today, February 24, 2010, Opera Software started offering early adopters Opera 10.50 Beta 2 for Windows. As was the case since early on in the development process of v10.50, the focus for the next iteration of Opera is to offer the browser version to Windows users first, and only subsequently to Mac OS X and Linux customers. The Norwegian browser maker explained that the development process for Opera 10.50 moves at a much faster pace for Windows compared to Mac and Linux, and this is why users of Microsoft's proprietary OS will get version 10.50 first.
"Beta 2 contains many significant improvements over the first beta, and we would like to thank everyone who helped us test Opera for your great work! Your invaluable feedback really does make a difference, and it helps us turn Opera into an even better browser," revealed a member of the Opera Desktop Team.
As far as Windows integration goes, testers will notice that Opera 10.50 Beta 2 Build 3273 has been optimized to play nice with Windows 7. In this context, v10.50 will enable users to take advantage of all the new features of the new Windows 7 GUI, including Aero Glass, Aero Peek and Jump Lists. Of course, Opera 10.50 Beta 2 continues to be in development and as such is not recommended for end users or for deployment in production environments.
Opera enumerated some of the highlights of Opera 10.50 Beta 2, including: "skin work, and tweaked styling of internal pages (opera:* and error pages); improved opera:config; improved overlay authentication dialogs to avoid spoofing; context menu fixes; basic Web Storage user interface; lots of crash fixes and widgets fixes."
Opera 10.50 Beta 2 for Windows is available for download here.

Strasbourg, 11 October 2010 - A Europe-wide network of labs focusing on RNA research is needed to make the most of RNA's high potential for treating a wide range of diseases. The recommendation for this virtual research institute comes from a panel of biologists at the European Science Foundation in a report published today, 'RNA World: a new frontier in biomedical research'.
Ten years on from the human genome project, RNA (ribonucleic acid) has stolen some of DNA's limelight. The basic ingredient of our genes, DNA long outshone the other form of genetic material in our cells, RNA. RNA was seen as a simple stepping stone in the cell's gene-reading activities.
Research over the last decade has shown RNA to be a remarkable molecule and a multi-talented actor in heredity. It is thought to be a major participant in the chemical reactions that led to the origins of life on Earth - the 'RNA World' hypothesis. RNA also controls genes in a way that was only recently discovered: a process called RNA interference, or RNAi. Medical researchers are currently testing new types of RNAi-based drugs for treating conditions such as macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness, and various infections, including those caused by HIV and the herpes virus.
"RNA could bring significant advances to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of many human diseases," said Professor Jrg Vogel from the University of Wrzburg, Germany, who co-chaired the report. "In the global context, it's surprising that Europe doesn't have many centres specifically funded for and dedicated to it, particularly in comparison to the US. We strongly recommend creating a network of RNA centres, linked together as a Europe-wide 'virtual institute'. A first step could involve calls through the European Commission and national funders. "
The virtual RNA institute would be made up of locally-funded, multidisciplinary centres with a critical mass of strong research groups

'Operation Rock Star' leads to 21 arrests in Stuart
STUART — A joint investigation into gang and drug activity resulted in more than 60 felony charges for 30 people, as well as uncovering an organized theft ring and a small-scale counterfeiting operation, according to a Stuart Police Department news release.
The Drug Enforcement Administration and the Stuart Police Department ran the three-month investigation dubbed "Operation Rock Star," according to the release. The Martin County Sheriff's Office helped with the investigation, said Stuart police Detective George McLain.
Investigators identified two Stuart residents — Cory Knowles, 27, and Willie L. Hogan, 31 — as key players in a drug ring, according to the release. Both were charged with multiple sales of cocaine. They brought illegal drugs from Fort Pierce and Palm Beach into Stuart to be sold, McLain said.
The drug ring used several people to solicit sales of cocaine, marijuana and prescription drugs, according to the release.
Other information led to the discovery of a theft ring and a counterfeiting operation, according to the release. In the theft ring, a person would request certain video games and sell them for drugs or about $50, McLain said. In the counterfeiting operation, a person was receiving sheets of counterfeit money to cut, he said.
Of the 30 people wanted, 21 were arrested, according to the release. Three others already were in jail, McLain said. Another three have been notified through their lawyers to turn themselves in before the end of Friday, he said. Officials still were searching for the remaining three people as of Friday afternoon.
McLain said more people may be arrested as the investigation continues, and there's a "strong likelihood" the ones already arrested will receive additional charges.
Charged were:
Cory Knowles, 27, of Stuart, multiple sales of cocaine
Willie L. Hogan, 31, of Stuart, multiple sales of cocaine
Yolanda Booker-Tobey, 43, of Port St. Lucie, purchase of cannabis; possession over 20 grams of cannabis

In an interesting twist of fate Honda has introduced a new model year version of its hard-revving British-built Civic Type R Euro in Japan. The 2011MY vehicles will be the last of this model series to be exported to Japan as production of the current generation three-door Civic Type R was recently terminated in Europe because its 2.0-litre VTEC engine can't meet the Euro V emissions regulations. So while European Honda fans now miss out, Japanese Honda enthusiasts benefit.
This isn't the first time Honda has imported the Civic Type R Euro from Britain with over 1,850 examples coming across in late 2009. This time round, Honda will bring only 1,500 units of the 2011 Type R hot hatch to Japan. There are few changes over the previous model year but there is the addition of a new Crystal Black Pearl color, some trim updates such as the different finish of the fuel cap and some very minor cosmetic changes.
Technical specifications remain unchanged with the Type R keeps it's high-revving, naturally aspirated inline four-cylinder 2.0 litre engine that pumps out 150kW at 7800 rpm and 193 Nm of torque available from 5600 rpm. Power is sent to the front wheels through the same 6-speed manual gearbox. Acceleration to 100 kph is done in 6.6 s and top speed is 235 km/h. The vehicles will be priced at 3,000,000 Yen or around $48k in NZ money.
Hopefully in the future some of these 2011 Type R Euro models will come to NZ in the form of used imports, allowing us the chance to gobble them up at bargain prices.

Treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis using surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC)
Wim P Ceelen, MD, PhD
Tel +32 9332 6251
What is 'peritoneal carcinomatosis'?
What is 'peritoneal carcinomatosis'?
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is a form of cancer that is characterized by widespread implantation of tumor nodules inside the abdomen (belly). These nodules are attached on a thin tissue layer that covers the inside of the abdomen and also the organs inside. This tissue layer is called the peritoneum, and is made of 1 layer of flat rounded cells: the mesothelial cells. Usually, PC is a late disease manifestation of various digestive or gynecological cancers and often is associated with organ metastasis in the liver, lungs, or bone. Peritoneal carcinomatosis is caused by shedding of loose cells from the main tumor mass. These cells are transported inside the abdomen and attach on the peritoneal surface. Certain sites in the abdomen are more prone to implantation of cancer cells: the pelvis, the greater omentum, and the peritoneum covering the diaphragm.
Which cancers cause peritoneal carcinomatosis?
In most patients with PC, the primary tumor is located in the digestive system or in the ovary. In rare cases, PC can be caused by a primary tumor outside the abdomen such as melanoma or lobular breast cancer.
The most frequent causes are:
- Upper gastrointestinal cancers: stomach, pancreas
What is 'pseudomyxoma peritonei'?
Tumors of the appendix are rare, but usually have a better prognosis than cancer of the large bowel. Several histological (microscopic) types can be found, and depending on the exact type the disease will be more or less aggressive. Aggressive appendiceal cancers show signs of proliferation (cell division) and invasiveness (cancer spread to local lymph nodes and distant organs). On the other end of the spectrum are appendiceal tumors that hardly produce any cells, but large amounts of mucus or slime that slowly fills the entire abdomen. This form is often called 'pseudomyxoma peritonei' or PMP, a term that is purely descriptive and does not represent a well defined disease.
When is surgery an option for peritoneal carcinomatosis?
Whether you are a candidate for surgery depends on 1. the exact cause (diagnosis, tumour type); 2. the extent of the disease (number and location of peritoneal nodules), and 3. your general condition.
Good indications for surgery / HIPEC are:
- mucinous appendix tumour, with or without pseudomyxoma peritonei
Often, systemic (intravenous) chemotherapy is given during several months before operation. Generally, patients with systemic metastases will not benefit from surgery for PC. Sometimes, small and easily removable liver metastases can be treated at the same time as the peritoneal metastases. Also, patients with large amounts of fluid in the abdomen (ascites), extensive disease on the small bowel, or patients in a much weakened general condition are poor candidates for surgery.
Sometimes, 'preventive' chemoperfusion (HIPEC) is performed in patients who are considered to have a very high risk of developing peritoneal metastases. Examples are perforated colon cancers or patients with colon cancer that is metastatic to the ovaries (Krukenberg tumor).
Patients with carcinomatosis from cancer of the stomach may benefit from debulking/HIPEC on condition that an excellent response is observed after chemotherapy. Most patients will, however, not benefit from surgery. The same is true for patients with cancers of the pancreas or biliary tract.
How is surgery for peritoneal carcinomatosis performed?
The procedure involves removal or stripping of the affected peritoneum from the underlying tissue; this procedure is called a 'peritonectomy'. Depending on the extent of the disease, one or more abdominal regions will be treated. Also, since the peritoneum covers the abdominal organs, it often is necessary the remove parts of the small bowel, large bowel, or stomach. The greater omentum is nearly always involved and has to be removed. The complete procedure is sometimes called 'debulking' or 'cytoreduction'.
What are the advantages to administer intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy during surgery?
The reasons to administer IP chemotherapy can be summarized as follows. First, IP delivery allows to give a much higher dose of chemotherapy because the barrier function of the abdominal wall limits the amount of drug that enters the bloodstream. Higher doses result in a high local drug concentration and therefore a better tumor killing effect. Second, administration during surgery allows uniform distribution of the drug resulting in adequate treatment of all abdominal regions. This is far more difficult when drug is instilled using a catheter after the procedure, when adhesions prevent access of the drug to all abdominal recesses and cavities. Ultimately, IP chemotherapy aims to kill loose tumor cells that could remain after surgery.
What types of chemotherapy are used for IP therapy?
The choice of chemotherapy depends on the tumor type and on specific properties of the drug such as cell cycle specificity, water solubility, thermal enhancement, and local toxicity. The best studied agents for IP administration are the platinum compounds (cisplatin, oxaliplatin, carboplatin), that are active against a variety of cancer types. Other drugs used for IP therapy include paclitaxel (Taxol), mitomycin C, doxorubicin, and irinotecan.
Chemotherapeutic agents used for hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion. MW, molecular weight; AUC, area under the concentration over time curve; TE, thermal enhancement; NA, not available
Hyperthermia means that the chemotherapy is heated to a temperature
above 40°C. The reason to heat chemotherapy is twofold: first, hyperthermia
as such is toxic for cancer cells, but far less so for normal cells.
Second, many chemotherapy drugs have been shown to be more active when
combined with hyperthermia. When a heated solution is given in the abdomen,
the temperature rapidly falls because heat is transported away with
the bloodstream. Therefore, the solution has to be continuously heated
to compensate for the cooling effect of the blood perfusion in the abdomen.
This is done by creating a perfusion circuit, consisting of inflow and
outflow tubes, a roller pump, and a heat exchanger. Fluid leaves the
abdomen, is heated, and returned into the abdomen by the action of the
roller pump. This system is very similar to an extracorporeal blood
circulation circuit used during cardiac surgery. Depending on the type
of chemotherapy, the perfusion lasts from 30 to 90 minutes. The target
temperature during chemoperfusion varies between centers, and can range
from 41°C to 43°C. The temperature is continuously monitored
inside the abdomen by several temperature probes.
What are the risks of surgery and HIPEC?
Postoperative morbidity and mortality are related to the extent of surgery. In experienced centers, the risk of mortality is lower than 2% while significant complications develop in less than 30% of patients. The most common complications are caused by infection: anastomotic leak with peritonitis, pneumonia, or other severe infections. The chemotherapy usually does not cause significant complications because blood levels of the drug remain very low. Hyperthermia can cause a prolonged paralysis of the stomach and bowel ('ileus'), which can result in the need to keep the nasogastric tube during several days.
Not all patients can be permanently cured by surgery and HIPEC. The aim of the procedure is to provide a prolongation of the patient's life expectancy while preserving the overall quality of life. The amount of survival time gained depends primarily on the type of cancer, and also on the completeness of surgical removal. After complete resection of pseudomyxoma peritonei, patients may survive many years (often >10) without signs of recurrence. In patients with colorectal cancer, surgery with HIPEC was shown to double survival time compared to chemotherapy alone. Also, with the availability of more active and molecular systemic anticancer drugs, many cancer types are turned from a rapidly fatal disease into a chronic disease, where judicious use of surgery and/or systemic therapy including chemotherapy, molecular therapy, or radiotherapy allows prolonged survival with a good quality of life. Individual therapy decisions should always be the result of multidiscipliary evaluation. Sometimes, a second or third HIPEC procedure is indicated.
Can I undergo treatment in Ghent University Hospital?
Belgium has a reputation for high standards of healthcare delivery. UZ Ghent is a public, not for profit hospital. Staff at all levels is fluent in French and English. An estimation of the total costs can be obtained from the hospital's administration upon request; this cost depends mainly on the length of stay (average of two weeks).
Can I help?
The department of GI Surgery is actively involved in clinical and experimental research in the field of peritoneal carcinomatosis. Since this is a field in development and the number of patients who benefit from IP chemotherapy is limited compared to those who undergo 'regular' chemotherapy, there is little or no interest from the pharmaceutical industry in this topic. Therefore, financial donations are very welcome in order to support and advance our research. Please contact us when you are interested in making a gift.

Five Channels You've Probably Never Heard Of
Take a look through your program guide and there is probably at least one channel you've never watched/heard of. You're not alone.
I was excited to find out new programs were coming to Investigation Discovery and when I shared the news with some other TV Squadders, people said, "Huh? That's a channel?" Yes it is and I love it.
Did you know there's a whole channel just for babies? Of course. Check out the rest of the channels that we weren't too familiar with.
1. Investigation Discovery
Part of the Discovery family of networks, Investigation Discovery is home to many true crime shows. You can get your fill of '48 Hours' and 'Dateline' at almost any given hour, but the network is also home to shows such as 'Deranged,' 'Disappeared' and 'On the Case with Paula Zahn.' Caution: Watching some programs on this network while alone may make you paranoid.
2. Military Channel
Another Discovery channel, the Military Channel is home to -- yep, you guessed it -- all things military. The network has programs such as 'Future Weapons,' 'Warriors' and 'Hitler's Bodyguard.' For fans of the History Channel and heavy artillery.
3. Vs.
Formerly Outdoor Living Network -- hm, didn't know that existed either -- Versus (Vs.) is a home to all things sports, including games, competitions and original programming. Vs. also has a big hockey presence and a deal with the NHL, it aired nearly half of the Stanley Cup playoffs. In April it launched 'The Daily Line,' a panel-based talk show and in the fall it will launch a docudrama about XDL Sportbike Freestyle Championships.
4. BabyFirst TV
It's the first network just for babies, naturally. According to the network's Web site, it was developed by education experts and features no commercials. The channel has more than 80 programs ranging from 'Arty Party,' a program to encourage artistic endeavors, to 'I Can Sign,' show that teaches parents and babies American Sign Language.
5. Reelz Channel
Sure, it's only on DirecTV and Dish, but it's still strange. Reelz Channel has a whole show where it just shows movie trailers, but it's also home to 'Ally McBeal' and 'Newsradio.' Not sure how they fit into the network's tagline ("TV about movies"), but both are new classics, so why fight it?
Which little-known channels are you a fan of?

persian red currants?
Posted 24 March 2005 - 07:36 PM
She called them dried red currants. She was mysterious as to her source and I have not been able to find more, either on the internet or in middle eastern markets.
Can anyone tell me their Persian name and where I can find more? I used all that I had to make the ?(then I put them back in the freezer)
Thanks in advance
Posted 24 March 2005 - 08:43 PM
Posted 24 March 2005 - 08:56 PM
Thanks! I'll do a search for sources. I was taught to plump them in hot water and put them on top of the rice with a bit of saffron tinted rice for contrast. Is this common?
Posted 24 March 2005 - 09:44 PM
I don't get it, but is it the same berry that you use when you make sumac..
Posted 24 March 2005 - 10:58 PM
and a possible online source http://sadaf.com/store/product108.html
my experience is limited to periodic dabbling, but that treatment sounds correct. the barberries i've bought in persian stores seem much darker-may just be the stock.delicious little things anyway!that is a lovely photograph.
Hector,i believe sumac is rhus coriaria and barberries as grown in iran would likely be Berberis vulgaris var. asperma
Posted 25 March 2005 - 08:57 PM
I've bookmarked both links and the photo does look almost exactly like those I have. Now that I have a source I will not be so sparing with them. Seriously, no one could touch them because I was afraid to not have enough for the next polow.

Does anyone know how these might be related to the Cranberry or the the German Preiselberren ?
This might answer some of your questions.

The Craniosacral Placebo Effect
The original model of cranial osteopathy belief is that intrinsic rhythmic movements of the human brain cause rhythmic fluctuations of cerebrospinal fluid and specific relational changes among dural membranes, cranial bones, and the sacrum. CST Practitioners believe they can palpably modify parameters of this mechanism to a patient's health advantage.

Understanding Foot Pain: Nature and Mechanisms
Approximately one-quarter of the population are affected by foot pain at any given time. It is often disabling and can impair mood, behaviour, self-care ability and overall quality of life. Currently, the nature and mechanism underlying many types of foot pain is not clearly understood. Here we comprehensively review the literature on foot pain, with specific reference to its definition, prevalence, aetiology and predictors, classification, measurement and impact. We also discuss the complexities of foot pain as a sensory, emotional and psychosocial experience in the context of clinical practice, therapeutic trials and the placebo effect. A deeper understanding of foot pain is needed to identify causal pathways, classify diagnoses, quantify severity, evaluate long term implications and better target clinical intervention.

What Are Herbs Really Good For? Catnip and Fennel
I recently published some very informative articles on ergogenic dietary supplements by Melvin Williams. Or at least "supposedly" ergogenic dietary supplements. Obviously, while many supplements may have health benefits, some are more ergogenic than others.
As you may recall, an ergogenic is anything that can help us do work or increase our capacity to do work. In other words improve our performance.

I hope that allergy shots help you. I'm starting my 7th year of allergy shots and my allergies and asthma just keep getting better and better. I hope that is your experience, too.
Definitely your mom and sister should have told you sooner to be treated by an allergist/immunologist since those kind of doctors are the experts in allergic disease.
Hope this information helps you. Take care & good luck. JudyView Thread
It's best to discuss all this with your primary care doctor as he/she can best determine what may be causing your angioedema.
Take care & good luck. JudyView Thread
My experience was that taking Singulair plus my antihistamine helped a lot, especially with congestion.
If you're thinking about taking Singulair instead of Allegra, I think you may find that Singulair alone isn't enough. But ask your allergist if you can try it and see what happens.
If you're tired of taking so many meds, think about starting allergy shots. Sure, it takes years for them to reach full effectiveness, but once they do you will likely be able to cut down on your meds. I'm in year 6 of my shots and the difference for both my allergies and asthma are remarkable.
Hope these thoughts help. Take care & good luck. JudyView Thread
The fibroids are still shrinking; it's supposed to take 6 months or so. Symptoms are all gone, though (yay!). It was a heck of a surgery but worth it.
This is my 6th year of shots, I'll start my 7th year in December. My allergist is one who advocates for taking them forever. He stopped them twice for himself and his symptoms came back each time, so he says if patients want they can just stay on them. His office is 5 minutes away from my home and each shot costs me only about 4 dollars, so I'll probably stay on them forever. I'm similar to you, I'm on Zyrtec, Singulair, Nasonex and Pulmicort. I will try stopping the Singulair first, I'm not sure that really does anything any more.
Unfortunately for the past week it's been too cold to ride....in the low 50s here. I've been doing more hiking than biking until it warms up again (which hopefully it will). Yesterday I hiked 6.2 miles at Starved Rock State Park in IL (south of Rockford) which was nice, but very nippy!
Take care & keep well! JudyView Thread
Good to hear from you, Rich! Glad to hear that things have been going pretty well for everyone.
I have permission from my allergist to try dropping my allergy meds (due to good results from allergy shots) but I think I'll wait until winter to try that. If I'm able to drop those then I will only be on Pulmicort. I can't remember the last time I had an asthma flare, nor the last time I was on pred.
I also miss the old boards and some of the characters that have left us (like Sally). Sure was fun.
Take care. JudyView Thread
There are two more medications you could discuss with your doctor. First, Singulair is reported to help with EIA. Second, a long-acting bronchodilator will also help. Brands of long-acting bronchodilators include Foradil, a dry powder inhaler.
What are your symptoms that you say are not helped by your current medications? Perhaps the symptoms are not from EIA but from something else. For example, exercise sometimes triggers acid reflux, and reflux symptoms would not be helped by Flovent or Proventil (to some extent).
Hope this helps. Take care & good luck. JudyView Thread
One is that eating disrupts a person's normal breathing pattern and can trigger asthma. You may want to take 2 puffs of what you call your "emergency" inhaler (probably albuterol or similar) about 10-15 minutes before eating, so that you can prevent the coughing. If you still cough, you could still take a couple of puffs of the "emergency" inhaler to stop or reduce it.
Two is that if you were just diagnosed with asthma, it sounds like it is not under control yet. When you go back for your check with your asthma specialist (which should be pretty soon since you're newly diagnosed), please discuss this with him/her. If it's still happening by the time of your check up, your doctor may have to increase your asthma controller meds until your asthma is under good control.
Three is, are you absolutely positively 100% sure that you do not have acid reflux? (Some acid reflux is silent, in that it does not cause heartburn symptoms.) Because this also sounds like acid reflux that is irritating your lungs so much you have an asthma attack.
Asthma tends to go hand in hand with acid reflux because of two things: long-acting bronchodilators tend to loosen the lower esophageal sphincter (which prevents acid from coming up into the esophagus), and coughing tends to increase chest pressure and promote reflux. Discuss with your doctor whether you should take an acid reflux med to address this. Even something like Tums would help after eating.
So, to sum up: try using 2 puffs of your "emergency" inhaler 10-15 minutes before eating; use the "emergency" inhaler to stop coughing; and think about eating a few Tums after your meal to reduce acid. And definitely discuss this with your doctor at your early convenience.
Hope some of this helps you - take care & good luck. JudyView Thread
I have read that sometimes it takes several different types of medications to reduce or eliminate the reaction. For example, an oral antihistamine (such as Zyrtec) plus another type of stomach histamine blocker (such as Zantac), or an oral antihistamine such as Atarax.
My understanding is that patients have to try different types and/or combinations of medications to find what works for them. Of course I am not suggesting that anyone experiment on their own; an allergist is best suited to assist patients in finding the right combination of medications.
Take care and good luck. JudyView Thread
For example, an allergist may have an asthmatic patient taking Flovent and then prescribe oral prednisone for a flare. Other patients with severe asthma may be taking two different inhaled steroids daily, such as Qvar and Pulmicort.

I've written before about my opinions on gender and kids' clothing: this entry to the Womanist/Feminist Parenting Primer brings in a more femme opinion from a self-identified "girly-girl" feminist.
Jenny, who recently started blogging at The Big Cheesy, talks about her feelings around dressing her daughter in frilly clothes — sometimes — and her reluctance to dress any probably-boy child (should there ever be any) in the same.
On Dressing a Daughter…and a Theoretical Son.
Two things about me have almost always been true: I'm a girly-girl, and I'm a feminist. There are more of us out there than you might imagine. We are the women who adore pink, want lace trim on everything, and think the heel could always be higher. But we're also always striving to achieve everything we might want, without thinking for a moment that our sex limits us. Feminists like me are the fierce, unstoppable, eternally equal women who have a lot of fun with our lipstick and ball gowns. We're not unlike drag queens in that way.
But like a drag queen, I don't live in my uber-girly outfits. Although I do have a closet stocked with stilettos, mountains of beads, pounds of makeup, and enough lacy lingerie to outfit a proper brothel, I usually don't wear that stuff. Often enough (okay, 9 out of every 10 days), I wear my hair in a bun done without looking, no makeup whatsoever, the same unisex jeans I've had for years, and a loose-fitting tee shirt (most likely purchased at a thrift shop). The same frayed brown flip-flops are on my feet. My fingernails haven't been painted in almost two years. I'm not wearing perfume, or even lotion. And I don't feel like any less of a woman than I do in my tight turquoise satin D&G minidress.
Because, as I'm sure I don't need to explain to a feminist audience, my woman-ness has almost nothing to do my costume. Whether I'm in fishnets or my husband's sweatshirt, I'm a Woman, with every strength and capability than Man has to offer. Being a woman is not about dress, or scent, or mannerisms (or even genitalia, frankly). It's because I'm so confident in this, my female identity, that I can switch from dressing in a very gendered way to dressing in a very un-gendered way. To be honest, I never think about it. I don't divide my days into Girly or Unisex. I'm just me, transitioning from one costume to another without thought.
But what of the female child I bore almost 2 years ago? How do I dress her on any normal day, given my penchant for the frills and the froth? To be sure, her closet is stuffed with elaborate dresses and blouses and pretty little coats, things on which I spent too much money. There are so many of them that she outgrows them before the tags come off, usually. Which is probably because she spends her days, like her mom, in jeans and t-shirts. And it's not that I'm making a statement, gearing her up to be a feminist. I imagine she, like all the intelligent women I know, will be a feminist all on her own (but that's her choice, not mine). I dress her in the comfortable stuff every day because…it's comfortable. She is a toddler. All she wants to do is run, jump, climb, and smear herself with avocado. I don't think either of us would enjoy that exuberance all swaddled in a lacy sundress with matching bloomers. So she wears clothing that could belong to either a girl or a boy–indeed, much of it is purchased in the Boys' section. I'm not so much of a girly-girl that I think one's corduroy pants should be pink.
To be totally honest, though, I also buy my daughter boys' clothes because I want to be able to re-use them, should I have a son. And as a feminist, and a person fiercely devoted to gender-identity freedom, it's hard for me to accept that I wouldn't put a baby son in a dress. Why not, really? How is it different from putting my daughter in brown work boots designed for little male feet? Somehow, to me, it is. That bothers me, but I'm not going to wrap my son in lace just to confront my own issues. As much as I dislike our society's rigid gender expectations, and as much as I flout them myself, it's much harder for men and boys to do so, and I'm not going to make that decision for any son I might have. If he asks me, at any point, to wear a dress, you can believe that I will happily oblige. I just won't be leading the campaign, as troubling as that is to me sometimes (since I will essentially be dictating his ultimate gender performance for him, making it not an issue of choice at all).
As my daughter grows, I get sad about her frilly little outfits. To think that I may not have another daughter to wear them again, and knowing that I won't put them on a son who doesn't request them, makes me very sad. And it's probably not because I love them more than I love her other clothes. It's probably because I hardly ever put her in the girly stuff. Just as I find it easier to go about my day in a more unisex garb, I want the same freedom for her. Yes, I have a blast when I'm all tarted up, and I love to see her that way, too. But it's not real life. It's not the daily experience for a woman who has things she must DO. I probably could run a marathon in high heels, but I wouldn't want to do so. So the dresses inevitably stay on their hangers, and then get packed away for some Maybe Later child. It's hard, but I recognize it's a product of the choices I make. As a feminist, i believe that a woman (or a man) should be able to wear WHATEVER she (or he) likes, whenever, wherever. It is because I believe in my absolute equality and power that I can wear pink lip gloss one day and a man's shirt the next and not feel any different–even if I have been called "sir" a few times. I intend that freedom for my daughter, and I hope I embrace it for my son, too. As a parent I strive to put my ideals into practice, even as it challenges me sometimes. I put the dresses aside for my daughter, and may pull them out for my son. Who knows? On any given day, I just want all of us to be comfortable–in our clothes, and most definitely in our skin.
Jenny lives in Los Angeles with her small family of humans and large family of animals. Although an attorney by trade, lately Jenny is taking time to smell the bread rising, and to watch her daughter grow.

In the wake of the West Virginia result, this morning's must-read is Josh Marshall's dip into U.S. history here. He ought to be up on the subject; if memory serves, Revolutionary-era U.S. history was his PhD topic. From his post:
These regions were settled disproportionately by Scots-Irish immigrants who pushed into the hill country to the west in part because that's where the affordable land was but also because they wanted to get away from the more stratified and inegalitarian society of the east which was built by English settlers and their African slaves. Crucially, slavery never really took root in these areas. And this is why during the Civil War, Unionism (as in support for the federal union and opposition to the treason of secession) ran strong through the Appalachian upcountry, even into Deep South states like Alabama and Mississippi.
As I alluded to earlier, this was the origin of West Virginia, which was originally the westernmost part of Virginia. The anti-slavery, anti-slaveholding upcountry seceded from Virginia to remain in the Union after Virginia seceded from the Union. Each of these regions was fiercely anti-Slavery. And most ended up raising regiments that fought in the Union Army. But they were as anti-slave as they were anti-slavery, both of which they viewed as the lynchpins of the aristocratic and inegalitarian society they loathed. It was a society that was both more violent and more self-reliant.
This is history. But it shapes the region...
You could probably gloss this as 'Obama will have a hard time winning the white racist vote; what a surprise.' But the history is a good deal more interesting than the log line.

Release of August Jobs Report is D-Day for Tapering
Posted By kurtnimmoadmin On August 9, 2013 @ 2:00 pm In Economic Crisis,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Dunstan Prial
August 9, 2013
It's becoming increasingly clear that Friday Sept. 6 is D-Day for tapering.
That's the day the August jobs report will be released and voices out of the Federal Reserve in recent days have indicated that even decent numbers are likely to prompt the central bank to begin scaling back its $85 billion-a-month bond-purchase program at the Fed's meeting later that month.
All summer the unified message out of the Fed has conveyed the point that tapering won't begin until the move is justified by economic data that suggests the U.S. economy is gaining significant momentum.

Austin City Council to vote on "stealth dorms"
The Austin City Council will discuss and vote on changes to the city's codes and will decide whether to lower the limit of how many unrelated people are allowed to live in houses that are classified as "single family houses."
The Austin City Council will discuss and vote on proposed changes to the city's limits on how many unrelated individuals are legally allowed to live in a single family house at the city council meeting, scheduled for 4 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 13.
The council directed Austin City Manager Marc A. Ott to work on a code amendment that would reduce single family housing from six to four unrelated people.
If passed, the new rule could have a negative impact on students who currently live in single family houses with four or more roommates in what are considered "stealth dorms," as is the case for many students who live in west and north campus.
Madeline Nash, a senior at the College of Natural Sciences at UT, for example, lives in a converted duplex in west campus with five other roommates.
"[If the ordinance passed], two of our roommates would have to move out and the rent of the remaining people would go up hundreds of dollars," Nash said.
The issue of "stealth dorms" came to the forefront last summer, but the Northfield Neighborhood Association has been battling for years. The association argues that houses built for multi-family residence are knowingly labeled single family housing and cause issues such as noise disturbances, overflowing trash, parking problems and diminished home value.
The council is expected to vote on a resolution after the hearing and will also discuss whether the ordinance city-wide or restrict the occupancy limit to a few neighborhoods. The Codes and Ordinances Subcommittee and the Planning Commission recommended that the occupancy change in January 2014. They, however, did not include a grandfather clause and recommended that the new ordinance be applied city-wide rather than have neighborhoods opt-in for the change.
Occupancy Austin, a group opposed to the proposed ordinance, argue that limiting occupancy hurts affordability and worry about the lacking grandfather clause, which would apply the ordinance only to future occupancy. Other opponents also assert the ordinance is aimed at students; would exacerbate the already expensive housing market; and that an occupancy change would harm Austin citizens who choose to live with roommates. They maintain that the council should focus on code compliance rather than occupancy.
"We are having daily calls to city council offices to voice our concerns, and the current proposal before council does not have any grandfathering for existing homes," Eric Goff of Occupancy Austin said. "Assuming the ordinance would pass as written, anyone living with five or more people in a single house would be violating city code. Hopefully city council won't do that."
Goff said that if the ordinance passes, the group hopes the new rules will be only apply to neighborhoods most affected by "stealth dorms."

Mission creep: UVU should remember those who need it most
"Mission creep." The term, defined as what happens when a community college changes its status to a university, has an ominous tone. It sounds like a bacteria that slowly devours the original grass-roots mission being well-served by an efficiently run institution.
Like Utah Valley State College, now Utah Valley University.
Those who pushed for the status change for the Utah County college said the community would benefit by having access to master-degree programs in education, nursing and business. And that is probably true. But if this benefit comes at the expense of students who were able to get college training only because of the remedial and English-as-a-second-language classes and low tuition at UVSC, then the university name and three graduate degrees are not worth the loss.
To be honest, university-status proponents would have to admit that gaining prestige and credibility for the faculty, administrators and donors at UVSC was at least as important as serving the needs of Utah County residents.
But, whatever the motivation, the deed has been done. UVU celebrated its new name and status Monday with a country-Western music concert, tuition for the coming school year promptly jumped by nearly $200, and Utah taxpayers began shelling out $10 million more per year, minimum.
University spokespeople say UVU will continue to serve low-income and underprepared freshmen students and will not forget its original purpose. No "mission creep" here, they promise.
We hope they are sincere and that their promise will not be forgotten. But we hear from some experts that, sincerity aside, those promises are nearly always forgotten once a new university hires a lot of new full-time faculty with doctorates who may be less inclined to have their students' needs at heart than their own career advancement.
Because teaching students who have a difficult time with English and who did not excel in Advanced Placement classes and college-prep courses in high school just isn't fulfilling to some professors who have spent many years bolstering their own academic credentials.
So, now that the deal has been signed and delivered, we hope UVU officials will do all they can to guard against "mission creep" and remember whom they are meant to serve.

"This book does not offer an easy ride but its informal and enthusiastic literary style hold ones attention. Perhaps mindful of the content of much current popular mathematical exposition, the author draws many illustrations from number theory." - Geoffrey Burton, LMS Newsletter
"The author is able to mix both styles relating informal language to mathematical language and giving proofs that are deep but easy to read and follow." - Luis Sanchez-Gonzalez, the European Mathematical Society
"Written in a style that is easy to read and follow, the author gives clear and succinct explanations and meets his
desire for this to be between a textbook and a popular book on mathematics." - John Sykes, Mathematics in Schools
"Recommended in the Times Higher Education's Textbook Guide 2012." - Noel-Ann Bradshaw, Times Higher Education
"This is an excellent book which should appeal to teachers and pre-University or undergraduate students looking for a hands-on introduction to mathematical analysis." - Mario Cortina Borja, Significance
"The book is devoted to the discussion of one of the most difficult concepts of mathematical analysis, the concept of limits. The presentation is instructive and informal. It allows the
author to go much deeper than is usually possible in a standard course of calculus. Moreover, each portion of the material is supplied by an explanation why and what for it is necessary to study (and to teach) the corresponding part of calculus ... the book can be recommended for interested students as well as for teachers in mathematics." - Zentralblatt MATH
