Report blasts FDA's drug tracking system
The FDA has "bungled" its efforts to build a new Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS) to detect the side effects of marketed medicines, The Wall Street Journal reports. An article in the Journal, citing an undisclosed report commissioned by the agency itself, stated that the FDA continues to rely on its existing "dysfunctional" computer system as a primary tool for tracking the safety of medications sold in the US. The situation is "frustrating and undermining…the post-marketing drug safety work" of its staff "because they lack some of the basic tools they need to perform their jobs," the report, prepared for the FDA by the consulting firm Breckinridge Institute, said. The report, completed in November 2006 but never released to the public, said that FDA experts spend an average of 45 minutes per day dealing with the inefficiencies and snags caused by the current software. The AERS is already overwhelmed by a growing volume of adverse event reports, which exceeds 400,000 a year, according to the Breckenridge report. The FDA has sought to upgrade the technology used in AERS for years, but efforts that date back to at least 2003 haven't produced the planned successor, dubbed AERS II, the Breckenridge report stated. A new system isn't likely to be up and running until 2009 and the FDA has already spent an estimated $25 million on its efforts. The Breckenridge report argued that the FDA instead could have had a new system working in 2005 if it had simply relied on off-the-shelf software. The FDA's track record on drug safety has faced tough scrutiny in the wake of the 2004 withdrawal of Merck's painkiller Vioxx, which was linked to cardiovascular problems. A document prepared by FDA officials in response to the report, which is marked as a draft, said the Breckenridge report is "riddled with editorial conclusions based on misleading or incorrect facts." Deputy director of the FDA's center for drugs Douglas Throckmorton said in the Journal report that the current AERS "is a system that is working" despite "exploding" amounts of data. "Is it the best it can be? Of course not," he said. The FDA wants to develop a replacement "as quickly as anyone else does, but we want it to be done right." Meanwhile, the FDA unveiled the final version of its "Drug Watch" system for reporting emerging safety information about prescription drugs for the public. The agency is designating those drugs for which new safety postings are available with a red asterisk next to the drug name, as listed on an index on the CDER section of the FDA Web site (fda.gov/cder/drug/DrugSafety/DrugIndex.htm). An asterisk signals the presence of a public health advisory, alert or information sheet for healthcare professional or patient. The format finalizes draft guidance issued last May, in which the agency proposed keeping a "Drug Watch" list. While introducing the new format to reporters last Friday, the FDA took some questions about placing the index page within the CDER Web site as opposed to making it reachable off FDA's homepage. An official said the agency is evaluating ways to ease navigation. "There are clearly aspects of our Web site that are impenetrable," said Paul Seligman, associate director for safety policy and communication.

Tips for repairing a doorbell include beginning with the doorbell button. Its exposure to the elements and frequent use makes it the most likely element to fail. Test the button by removing it from the wall, loosening the wires and touching them together. If the bell rings, replace the button; otherwise, check the chime unit and transformer.Continue Reading
Problems with the chime unit are often due to loose connections or a buildup of grease and dust. Check the wiring connections, and ensure all screws are tight. Use a low-voltage meter to test the connections, and ensure the unit receives power when a helper presses the button. Use rubbing alcohol and a rag to clean the armatures that strike the chimes, and make sure they are not sticking. If the doorbell still does not operate correctly, replace the chime unit.
Use the low-voltage tester to check the transformer. If the chime unit does not receive power when pressing the button, use it to test the low-voltage screws at the transformer. If there is no power at these screws, replace the transformer.
While wiring problems for doorbells sometimes cause it to stop working, they are rare and difficult to trace. Rather than spend time trying to find these issues, it is easier to replace the entire unit with a wireless door chime. Both the button and chime unit operate on batteries, eliminating the need to tear into walls to find the problems with the old doorbell.Learn more about Doors, Windows, & Locks

SMBC gets it right, as usual
As always, Zach Weiner is correct in his Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal comic; astronomy is the most romantic science. But then, it has to be when he includes me in the strip.
At least, I assume that's me. It looks like me, it looks the way he's drawn me before, and he's met my wife, who has blond hair as does the woman to whom the astronomer in the strip is relaying the permutations of his love.
Plus I got quite a few tweets and emails saying it was me, too. So yeah, I'm going with it. And I'll add, Zach, I love you more than there are stars in a cup.
Oh yeah: the comic is probably NSFW. That's usually the way to bet with SMBC.

A Love Letter* from a Mathematician:
My Dear Love,
Yesterday, I was passing by your rectangular house in trigonometric lane. There I saw you with your cute circular face, conical nose and spherical eyes, standing in your triangular garden. Before seeing you my heart was a null set, but when a vector of magnitude (likeness) from your eyes at a deviation of theta radians made a tangent to my heart, it differentiated.
My love for you is a quadratic equation with real roots, which only you can solve by making good binary relation with me. The cosine of my love for you extends to infinity. I promise that I should not resolve you into partial functions, but if I do so, you can integrate me by applying the limits from zero to infinity.You are as essential to me as an element of a set. The geometry of my life revolves around your acute personality.
My love, if you do not meet me at parabola restaurant on date 10 at sunset, when the sun is making an angle of 160 degrees, my heart would be like a solved polynomial of degree 10. With love from your higher order derivatives of maxima and minima, of an unknown function.
Yours ever loving,
*I found it on the Internet. 😛
She was probably like 'wow, your really smart' you should go to uni to study, lol @ py, he and its romantic.
Yep, when i saw it i said: that's Phil Plait. Weiner has definitely choosen (the right) side. Now, he has made some… squishy enemies with this strip (yeah, i admit it; i've just read THAT blog)
Looks like you and PZ Myers are going to have to duke it out…
Am I alone here in finding something romantic, poetic and almost magical about many of the traditional star names?
Astronomers look at many heavenly bodies! 😉
Including :
Larissa – looping around the azure Neptune.
Carina – full of stellar wonders highlit by lucida* Canopus and Beta, Miaplacidus.
Gemma in Corona Borealis aka Alphekka.
Mimosa, Beta Crucis.
Miranda spinning over the sideways planet.
Phoebe circling Saturn's outer realm & Helen, Pandora and Dione are Saturn's moons too.
Bellatrix the female warrior near the Belt stars Mintaka, Alnilam, Alnitak and the renowned horsehead faint beneath.
Canis Major's wonderful star names; Sirius, Mirzam, Wezen, Adhara, Aludra & more.
(OTOH on the less romantic sounding side there's Yed Posterior & Delta Gem's Wasat moniker!)
There's a Peacock star, Alpha Pavonis, preening for the maiden's Virgo and Andromeda of the galaxy's fame and Queen Casseiopeia's vainity seasonally turned upside down.
There are so many stories of love placed in the sky from Zeus and Ganymede, Zeus and Europa, Zeus and Pollux and Castor fathered along with Clytemnestra and Helen in the guise of a swan thus an egg-laying queen seduced. There's Bacchus and Ariadne – rejected by Theseus on his way home – linked in Corona Borealis.
There's the story of Coma Berenices, the hair of the flattered queen offered in promise of her husband's return from war and placed in the sky so the courtier said.
Eris ex "Buffy" the goddess of discord and offerer of the prize in the beauty contest that sparked the Trojan War.
There's Earth's fiery twin Venus crossing paths with the seven sisters of Subaru, the Plieades; Alycone, Merope reflecting in her nebulosity, Maia, Electra, Caelano, Asterope and shell star Pleione.
Yea. The heavens are crammed full to the brim with romance and poetry, names and allusions that are beautiful and worth remembering.
Really I think there is a lot of appeal in the mythologies, the language, the poetry that are aspects of astronomy too. This goes even better with the science and its understanding of the astronomical marvels that makes the specks in the sky even more superluminously magnificent.
* Lucida means brightest star in a constellation. The Alpha star isn't always the brightest one – it usually is but there are many exceptions.
NSFW?? Is "sperm" not safe for work? Hm. Sounds like crying Jehovah and getting stoned for that! 😀
Physics is somewhere in the middle:
I love you in more ways than there are probable position eigenstates of a free particle with a well defined momentum.
watch out- told you you were getting as famous as Carl Sagan.
Old joke from my days as a computer field engineer with Univac(you know, the company that actually built the first electronic computers).
As a hotel clerk walked past the open transoms from three rooms he heard:
1) a computer software engineer telling his new wife how great things were.
2) a computer salesman telling his new wife how great things were going to be.
3) a computer field engineer telling his new wife "It'll be up in a minute."
I love when my "computer" is up and running.

Oops! Double post.
@ #5 MTU: "Buffy"??? Surely you meant "Xena".
Is it just me, or do others also hope that someday Zach makes enough money cartooning to buy a shirt?
I think that he third guy should have been drawn to look like Seth.
I loved whenever I tell people that I used a telescope for my Ph.D. thesis and they would reply "Observing sounds so romantic". I would disappoint them by saying "Not really. Staying up all night, drinking cold tea, and staring at a computer screen isn't terribly romantic."
I have always wanted to go on observing run with Phil because I'm sure he'd have me laughing so hard from his funny stories and commentary.
Wacky scientists. =P
Computer Science
I love you in more ways than there are 0's and 1's on the internet.
Biology is very romantic. A friend of mine complained her old boyfriend treated her like pond scum. My reply was, "Date a biologist. We know that pond scum is very interesting stuff and valuable products have been processed from pond scum". So she did date a biologist, and he treated her like pond scum…and so far, we're both living happily ever after.
"You are incorrigibly meddlesome, Doctor, but we've always felt that your hearts are in the right places."
— Unnamed Time Lord, in "Terror of the Autons"
Unfortunately, many star names are a lot less "romantic", when you consider their translations – especially the Arabic ones, which are often just descriptions of their positions in the constellation figures. e.g. Betelgeuse means "The giant's armpit"!
The Scientist's Love Song ( I didn't make it up, honest! )
She sings:
First you must tell me, what makes the stars shine?
What makes the ivy around the tree twine?
Next you must tell me, what makes the sky blue?
Then finally tell me, why should I love you?
He sings:
It's nuclear fusion that makes the stars shine.
The process of tropism makes ivy twine.
Scattering of light in the Earth's atmosphere makes the sky blue, you see,
And a good dose of pheromones would make you love me!
Economists: I am incapable of feeling!
We biologists tend to be more creative than "sperm in a cup of semen". Perhaps "bacteria in a human gut", or "species of insect on this planet", or "all the fish there used to be in the sea before we fished them out"…
I'd advise against putting the words "my wife" "strip" and "blond hair" all in the same sentence.
"She was one in a million… one in a trillion… one in a googalplex…"
– Doc Emmet Brown, Hill Valley, 1885.
Are the second and third panels also well-known scientists in the media, along with their wives? I don't recognize them, but maybe some of you do.
@11. Trebuchet Says:
@ #5 MTU: "Buffy"??? Surely you meant "Xena".
Oops! Er .. yes. I did indeed.
Although there is also an ice dwarf planet nick-named 'Buffy' too :
"Buffy" or 2004 XR190 – the ice dwarf with the most "tilted" or highly inclined object travelling more "up & down" than "left to right" with its inclination of 47 degrees – but in an unusually circular orbit. A scattered or detached disk object discovered in Dec. 2004 "Buffy" is the 6th most distant object so far known after Eris, Sedna and some unnamed TNO's with an orbital range of 52 -62 AU currently its about 58 AU from our Sun.

I know – although they still sound good. Also, I gather the names have evolved and "been corrupted" chinese whisper style over time so literal meanings they aren't really anymore.
@21. Bipedal Tetrapod :
One phrase that springs to mind here is the evocative line from the HG Wells 'War of the Worlds' or at least the musical version of it :
" .. like all the creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water."
The number of those would be, well, astronomical! 😉
The line from the book is: "…that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water."
( http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/www/warworlds/b1c1.html )
@Gary Ansorge (#9):
"Old joke from my days as a computer field engineer with Univac(you know, the company that actually built the first electronic computers)."
OT, I'm afraid, but as an alumni of Iowa State University I am compelled to point out that Univac (founded by Eckert and Mauchly, the inventors of the ENIAC computer) did NOT build the first electronic computers! By a 1973 ruling of a U.S. District judge, that honor belongs to John Atanasoff and Cliff Berry:
Said ruling stated that "ENIAC derived many basic ideas from the Atanasoff–Berry Computer" and "Eckert and Mauchly did not themselves first invent the automatic electronic digital computer, but instead derived that subject matter from one Dr. John Vincent Atanasoff."
As someone whose grad student office sat adjacent to the damp corner of the physics building basement where the ABC once stood (hallowed ground for computer geeks), I had to represent, yo!
@26. Bipedal Tetrapod : Thanks.
'The War of the Worlds' is one of my favourite novels – I've got a copy of my own too but I did first learn about it via audio tape cassette version of the Jeff Wayne's Musical version back in high school.
How about a prize to whoever can figure out how many stars there are in the universe.My guess the number is infinte Also I like War of the worlds I have a copy that has War of the worlds and the Time Machine in the same book
To figure the number of stars in the universe we would need to:1know the number of galaxys in the universe 2the number of stars in each galaxy including globular clusters witch lie just outside galaxys ,this number varys 3number of protostars forming in each galaxy again varys after caculating all that you have the number of stars in the universe. Or think of something I once read :The number of stars in the universe is equal to the number of sand grainds on every beach and desert on Earth
@mike burkhart (#30):
"I once read :The number of stars in the universe is equal to the number of sand grainds (sic) on every beach and desert on Earth"
Depending on who's making the estimates, it's usually stated that the number of stars is comparable to the number of grains of sand on every beach (deserts excluded). When you throw the deserts in, it's harder to get a number that's similar to the estimates for the number of stars.
"Cosmology also tells us that there are perhaps 100 billion galaxies in the universe and that each contains roughly 100 billion stars. By a curious co-incidence, 100 billion is also the approximate number of cells in a human brain."
– Page 237, 'StarGazer', Dr Fred Watson, Allen & Unwin, 2004.
"…about 40 supernovae are exploding somewhere in the universe every second. However, light from most of these events won't reach Earth for billions of years, if ever."
– Page 73, "Ask Astro" column in 'Astronomy' magazine October 2008.
But still :
"If you put three grains of sand inside a vast cathedral, that cathedral will be more densely packed with grains of sand than stars are found apart in space."
– Page 28, 'Skywatching', David H. Levy, Ken Fin Books, 1995.
Just on the off-chance that somebody is still reading this & is interested.

Development of N-E has expedited restoration of peace
Agartala, March 16 (PTI): With the development of infrastructure in the north eastern region of the country including Tripura and Mizoram, the process for restoration of peace has been expedited, a senior army official said on Saturday.
General Officer Commanding (GOC), 3 Core based in Dimapur, Lt Gen A K Sahni said, "a considerable development of infrastructure has taken place in the region which has paved the way for restoration of peace and development".
Sahni, who came to Tripura on a two-day visit met Chief Minister Manik Sarkar and visited many far flung areas of the state and the international border with Bangladesh.
"There has been a lot of improvement along the border and over all development in the state is good. The law and order has improved and militancy has subsided", he told reporters at the Agartala airport on his way back to Dimapur.
Referring to the massive arms haul at Aizawl few days back, Sahni reiterated Assam Rifles's official standpoint that the firearms came from Myanmar.
"Initial inputs achieved during interrogation tell that the arms came from Myanmar", he said.
Asked about progress of barbed wire fencing at Indo-Myanmar border, he said, "Total fencing doesn't happen in Indo-Myanmar border like what we see here in the Indo-Bangladesh border.
People from both sides have free access upto 8 km on both sides of the border there.
Anyway, certain mode of selective fencing has started in the Indo-Myanmar border, especially close to the International land custom stations.
"The Government of Myanmar has assured to take action against terrorist forces on their soil as well. A recent arms haul of a hundred weapons at Tamu, which came somewhere from China or Thailand is a testimony of their cooperation", he said.
To a question, he said, the situation in China border in Arunachal Pradesh was stable.

"I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Millennial Central for Budweiser. I received a product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for participating."
So right before Thanksgiving, B turned 30! He didn't want to have a big party thrown or a bunch of people over, so we just invited his parents over and my best friend and her fiancee. It was very low key, but actually was just what he wanted.
I recently was contacted to try out the Limited Edition Beers that Budweiser was offering for the Holiday Season and jumped at the chance. I love me some beer, specifically different kinds of beers and pairing this up with a little mini gathering for B's Birthday worked out perfectly!
With the package of beers to taste, we also received a slate serving board which we used for the tasting and also little tasting mugs and coasters from Crate and Barrel. It was perfect for appetizers and we set it out before everyone came with some salami, cheese and little breads to put it on. Everyone thought that the set up was super cute and was interested in the beers as well since we had them out in the smaller glasses.
Everyone tried all the beers and then picked one to have during lunch, which was chicken tacos and B makes the BEST chicken on the grill. All three of the flavors were very different and unique which was surprising and great. I also was very surprised how much they didn't taste like a regular Budweiser either. The Vanilla Bourbon Cask was very sweet and light and my Mother in Law loved that one. I personally preferred the Beechwood Bock because it was more of a darker beer. The North Pacific Style one was good too and B opted for that one as well. Overall, they are all three very different and distinct flavors and everyone who tried them was surprised by how all three tasted.
I love the uniqueness of these beers and have already been looking for the Beechwood Bock in my grocery store, but I can't find it yet! I think that this is a great idea and love that Budweiser is offering these limited edition beers just in time for the Holiday Season! I hopefully will be locating some Beechwood Bock soon in my market :)

It is 1742 and we are in Dublin, where ten-year-old Jamie O'Flaherty and the brilliant composer George Frideric Handel live. Jamie, who comes from a very poor family, has been caught stealing and is in jail. Handel, whose career is failing, needs his newest composition to be a big hit. By a stroke of destiny, the young boy and the composer become unlikely allies. Handel gets Jamie out of jail and the boy lends his golden voice to the first performance of Messiah. This production is filled with many of Handel's most glorious musical works, and the captivating story reminds us that when you believe in yourself you can make comebacks in life and often get one last chance. 51 minutes.
- Size: 7-1/2" x 5-1/4"
- Composer: George Frideric Handel

Some interesting thoughts from Tim O'Reilly and Jon Udell on the idea of Open Infrastructure. Tim recently had a conversation with Debra Chrapaty, VP of Operations for Microsoft's Windows Live, where she noted that "In the future, being a developer on someone's platform will mean being hosted on their infrastructure."
Jon has followed-up:
The desktop isn't the battleground it once was. I float like a butterfly from Windows to OS X to Linux. My home is in the cloud, and that's the next frontier for the champions of free and open commodity infrastructure...We've already seen how open source software projects harness collective effort to produce quality results. We're now seeing how open content projects such as Wikipedia do the same. Can open infrastructure be far behind?
Jon cites the Coral open content distribution network (CDN) as an interesting early case. Certainly a significant topic in the world of APIs and mashups: how can independent developers not become captive within an ecosystem dominated by the major players like Google, Yahoo!, Amazon and Microsoft.

AARON GREENE, Kennewick/Las Vegas
Recently a writer suggested all parents should teach their child and we should shut down public schools (Letters, Nov. 18).
1. In a society where a person is moving to a nine-hour workday, where do parents have time for this? Or what about military folks like me who tend to work nine-12 hours a day five to seven times a week.
2. Public schools are good for exposing youth to different cultures and people from different backgrounds. One goal of the school district is to give every child an unbiased and balanced education, for instance, in government class.
3. I would not be as ignorant to say that all home schooled kids have social disadvantages, but I would say home schooled kids may be at a disadvantage because many of them would interface with less kids from their age group.
To conclude, public schools provide a great use to its society members and society as a whole.

This crab comes ashore on the East Coast in vast numbers to mate and nest. This volume brings together 20 scientists who have worked on all aspects of horseshoe crab biology in the first comprehensive account of the species. Describes the animal's behaviour, natural history and ecology; its anatomy, physiology, distribution, development and life cycle; the puzzle of its immune system; and its management and future conservation.
Overall, The American Horseshoe Crab is a fine compendium of information, one I will refer to frequently. The volume also provides an essential tool for anyone involved with developing the regulations that will be required to protect this intriguing species in perpetuity. -- Mark S. Garland Science 20040521 [This] has to be the most thorough book on this amazing creature ever written or ever likely to be written. It is a compilation of essays by some of the crab's foremost researchers...It would be a sad loss if this book were destined merely for reference shelves and university libraries. Each section has its entry point for the novice, its tidbit of fascinating information, ripe for mining by anyone with an inquisitive mind. -- Sandy Bauers Philadelphia Inquirer 20040614 Look inside The American Horseshoe Crab and you'll find everything you ever wanted to know about these living trilobite lookalikes from their much filmed shoreline mating to their historic use as fertiliser. This wonderfully illustrated and detailed compendium of information about the horseshoe or king crab is a must for anyone interested in marine arthropods both fossil and living. -- Douglas Palmer New Scientist 20040911 This book is a superbly produced synthesis of modern knowledge, in 15 chapters written by 20 experts. It is fully illustrated, with 33 colour plates and many line drawings, and there is an extensive bibliography...This scholarly text is essential for all serious students of arthropods. And it is eminently readable, too. -- Euan N. K. Clarkson BBC Wildlife 20041201

This week I was asked if there are any statistics there showing
- the number of defects (on average) produced during a software elaboration project or
- the number of defects produced versus the number of lines of code per programming language or technological stack (C/C++, Java, .NET or PHP for example)?
I answered that I haven't seen anything publically available. Any company, publishing such statistics, could damage its reputation. However, internally, any company should collect these statistics for the risk management purpose.
Still, we can apply maths to do some estimation, can't we? For example, let's assume the following:
1. A project consists of one or few iterations.
2. Ideally, code from each iteration is deployed with 0 defects. As a result, we consider what was fixed during the iteration(s). We also assume that what was deployed with the previous iterations is free of defects in the current one.
3. Most of the trivial defects are spotted during the compilation or build process (far before the test team gets engaged) as a result, we count the defects spotted during the unit tests execution. For now we ignore the defects spotted by the test team as this complicates the model :)
4. The unit tests are free of defects :)
Going further:
5. The X-th iteration delivers N new units.
6. Each unit must have at least 2 Unit Tests, for Expected Pass and Expected Failure cases.
7. As a result the X-th iteration has 2⋅N Unit Tests.
8. The probability of a single Unit Test to fail is 1⁄2 (Unexpected Pass or Unexpected Failure).
9. The iteration can have from 0 to 2⋅N defects as a result. The probability that the number of defects is m (0≤m≤2⋅N) is
10. The mean value or the average number of the defects is 2⋅N⋅1⁄2 = N.
So, N units with N defects or roughly 1 defect per unit.
Few words about the maths used. It is the binomial distribution where p=1⁄2 and the mean value is E(X) =∑m⋅P(m) = n⋅p, where n=2⋅N.
This formula also tells us that if we reduce the probability for a Unit Test to fail (p<1⁄2), then we will also reduce the number of defects. Sounds logic, doesn't?
I will also provide a quick proof for the mean value because it is indeed a very elegant piece of mathematics, so
E(X) =∑m⋅P(m) = P(1)+2⋅P(2)+...+n⋅P(n)=

The week's main event will finally arrive on Friday, as Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen will speak before the latest economic symposium hosted by the Kansas City Fed in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
The topic of Yellen's speech is expected to be financial stability, often called the "third mandate" of the Fed, and baseline expectations are that Yellen will not use this opportunity to signal any plans about Fed policy in the coming months.
A topic of discussion in the run-up to Yellen's speech this week has also been the possibility that this is Yellen's final speech as Fed chair at the annual symposium, as her term expires in February and President Donald Trump has not yet made clear if he intends to nominate Yellen to a second term.
Were Trump to decline to nominate Yellen to a second term, she would be just the third Fed chair since 1934 to serve one term at the top of the central bank.
Elsewhere on the calendar on Friday, we'll get the July report on durable goods orders in the morning, which are expected to drop sharply from the prior month. The earnings calendar will be open as no major companies are expected to report results.
Markets will also keep an eye on the Gulf of Mexico, where Hurricane Harvey now appears set to be the first major hurricane — that is, a storm of category 3 intensity or higher — since Wilma hit Florida in October 2005.
As of 2:45 p.m. ET on Thursday afternoon the National Hurricane Center was forecasting winds of 125 mph as Harvey approaches the Texas coast, with landfall expected Friday evening. Rainfall amounts in excess of 20 inches are expected along some areas of the Texas coast.
And so it begins.
On Monday, Amazon (AMZN) will close its deal to buy Whole Foods (WFM) and thus begin a new era of selling food for the online retail giant.
In a release on Thursday, Amazon said that among the initial changes expected at Whole Foods are lower prices on what it calls "grocery staples" at Whole Foods including — "Whole Trade bananas, organic avocados, organic large brown eggs, organic responsibly-farmed salmon and tilapia, organic baby kale and baby lettuce, animal-welfare-rated 85% lean ground beef, creamy and crunchy almond butter, organic Gala and Fuji apples, organic rotisserie chicken, 365 Everyday Value organic butter" among others.
Amazon Prime will also become Whole Foods' rewards program and Amazon Lockers will be available in some stores.
In response to this news, grocery stocks sold off.
Among the notable losers were Kroger (KR), down 6%, Supervalu (SVU), down 7%, Target (TGT), down 4%, Costco (COST), down 3%, and CVS (CVS), down almost 3%.
Of course, some might note that investors in these stocks knew a deal was coming, so why sell these stocks? And, indeed, these stocks had already declined after the deal was initially announced.
But what this action shows is that the main thing motivating the Amazon trade right now is fear — fear that Amazon's plans will target a company or an industry in an even more punishing way than previously thought.
Perhaps investors didn't think the Amazon deal would close for months. Perhaps some did not expect Amazon to cut prices to quickly. Perhaps Amazon integrating Whole Foods into its Prime service so quickly came as a surprise.
Either way, though, investors have been more quick to run from Amazon than towards it of late. George Pearkes, a strategist at Bespoke Investment Group, noted on Twitter on Thursday that a comparison of the firm's "Death by Amazon" and "Amazon Survivor" baskets against Amazon yields a negative return.
— George Pearkes (@pearkes) August 24, 2017
That is, investors have been quicker to take away from those companies that might lose to Amazon than to reward Amazon for any gains.
Which shows to us that the main fear among investors right now, particularly those in any sort of consumer-facing space, is to avoid being Amazon'd. Even if you already knew it was coming.

Every Little Bit
I love this season. It's cold. There are lights. There is hand holding. There is fellowship among strangers. Joy elevates the mundane, and cultivates memories to satiate and linger through the early months of another year, a new year. The blankets come down from the closet, there is ample excuse to bake, and we somehow find time, make time to connect.
For no particular reason, there are some days when I am shaken by the absurdity of my blessings. I learned at a young age that the holidays are not all gingerbread and champagne for everyone. I remember that when everyone seemed to be getting out of school and taking time off, my mom's private practice was just ramping up. While the "other moms" were planning progressive dinners, she was helping the mourning, lonely, and lost to navigate the hardest part of their year.
There can be just as much sadness as there is joy associated with this season. I try to remember this everyday. While I indulge in the sweet embrace of loved ones next week, I know that someone, somewhere, is alone. Someone, somewhere, is piecing together a semblance of celebration after deep, confusing loss.
It's startling, to witness your own luck. How mind-blowing it is to have so much, again, another year.
Of course there are moments throughout the season that frustrate. Our relatives can make us crazy. You'll bump into that person from high school you really would have rather avoided. You'll feel obligated to attend certain neighborhood functions. Your partner will exceed the 50lb baggage limit. You'll be late to work. Someone will forget to change the roll in the guest room. There will be thousands of crazy, maddening moments and interactions this season.
Remember that someone, just like you, somewhere on this planet doesn't get those crazy, maddening moments. They have no one to burn the biscuits for. They are trying to understand the meaning of tradition when there is now an empty seat at the table.
Here's the thing… I want every single crazy moment that comes with this time of year. I know that one year, if I am not so lucky as I am now, that I will cling to the taste and the touch and the sounds of all these moments and how they made my life so rich and full. I want to do the things I don't want to really do, I want to see the people I don't really want to see, I want show, express, and appreciate every bit of it.
Roasted Chestnut Spread
- 1 lb Chestnuts
- 1 1/2 – 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
Roasting and shucking chestnuts is more fun with a partner, so grab a partner and tell them to set the oven to 425.' As the oven preheats, begin working with the chestnuts by cutting a large x on the rounded side of each shell. Place flat side down on a pan. I cover mine with parchment because it's a bit "seasoned" if you know what I mean. Pour a cup of water over the cross-hatched chestnuts and roast for about 22-25 minutes.
Remove from the oven, the skins should have peel back a bit by now. Let cool for about 10 minutes before getting started on the peeling process. You'll need to discard the tough, dark brown shell as well as the thin brown skin that coats the actual soft nut. From all my research, each nut has a different story. Some shells and skins are a nuisance while others come off quite easily. It's a tedious job, but definitely worth it. Toss naked chestnuts into small pot and cover with 1 1/2 – 2 cups of water, depending on how many nuts you ended up yielding. I usually come out with a few nasty moldy dudes and some that crumble apart when I'm trying to peel, so my best guess is that I have about 8-10 ounces of actual nut when it's all said and done. Add sugar and vanilla. Bring to a boil and stir, allowing to simmer for about 15 minutes.
Remove from heat. Let sit in the pot for a bit before transferring to a food processer with the blade attachment. Process for about 5 minutes, adding a tiny bit of water or warm milk to the mixture to help things along. Transfer to a jar or serve immediately with crepes, toast, or apple slices.

Kelsey, What a wonderful post! I'm sitting here, nestled in my apartment, watching the grey and rainy weather settle in for another day, and watching your video again, and again, and again. A couple things – First, the Ocean! A blessing in itself. I miss the Ocean. Having lived on the East Coast my entire life the Ocean was a constant and now in Zürich, smack in the middle of Europe, I often feel trapped. Sure there are the Alps and plenty of lakes, but there is nothing like the vast beauty of the ocean. Second, roasted chestnuts (Heisse Maroni) are an incredibly popular street snack here. Little huts will pop up and grizzly mustached men will stand over their roasting pit, stirring and shaking and piling the finished, flakey shelled nuts, into little bags. The bags have two parts – one for the whole nuts and then a separate attached bag for the shells (swiss efficiency at it's best) I love the idea, but unfortunately I don't love the taste, they are too dry for me. I'm going to buy some though and try out this recipe! Wonderful! (sorry comment so long, just so much to say!) ps. video is now on it's 4th round…
Snippets of Thyme
What a wonderful wonderful post. I think all of us who have had pain and loss in our lives feels so much the same as you. I, too, appreciate each and every moment and marvel at the fortunate existence I have today compared to years ago. I sure do hate pain and loss but I realize that it pushes us to bind together to do more for those who need help. Thank you for reminding me of that.
Thank you. The video is very inspiring. Can you tell me the name of the song?
OMG! It's the China coat!!! Still looks great on you girl! That video was so wonderful! Warmed my heart! You are so precious, and, I think the saying goes, "wise beyond your years."

This post broke my heart in the most beautiful possible way.

wow…this looks amazing!
Now I know what to do with my extra jar of chestnuts…Thanks and Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones.
Heidi @ Food Doodles
Beautiful post, and so very true. Your spread sounds fantastic, I've never had anything like that before. I loved the video. I used to live near the ocean and now I like inland so it brings back great memories
Melissa @ thefauxmartha
After watching and reading this, I said to myself out loud—she is so talented! Your writing so raw and beautiful. A breath of fresh air. The video and pictures match the mood with ease. Thank you for sharing your life and your talent. I'm in awe. AND I'm in awe that the cowl made the video. It looks perfect on you.
Hi Kelsey. I didn't get to watch the video (I'm at the office right now) but your writing is enough. So true, so … yes. To all of it. Thank you.
i hope you'll still be my friend when you two are big time. AMAZING! I love it so much. You two are great and I LOVE love love the videos, makes me feel like I know you better. Pretty scarf too 😉
I have to say, your videos are the absolute best. Thank you, thank you, thank you for brightening up my day. Happy holidays to you.
I've been feeling the same way recently — so blessed to be able to witness my own luck and abundance of good things happening. It feels almost more sweet, knowing that it's been a long time coming.
This video is gorgeous — chestnuts are a tradition my grandparents brought over with them (they come from a town in Italy known for chestnuts that I can't recall the name of right now) and I have many memories of warm impatient fingers, not able to wait to unpeel the shell. I recently baked chestnuts into apple cookies and it was such a fantastic texture. This spread looks delightful. Thank you for these videos. I'm watching it as a flurry falls outside and it instantly put me back in the joy of the holidays.
The video is phenomenal. Your words are mindful yet inspiring. The chestnut spread looks amazing. All of this is a wonderful reminder of what truly matters. Happy holidays to you both.

Love the video and music! Amen to all that.

I just adore your videos. They're the best. That spread looks incredible, and I love Melissa's scarf on you. I want one!
super super lovely. And now I toootally want to roast some chestnuts!
I've always wanted to roast my own chestnuts and I'm sure this spread is heavenly. Lovely video, too. I couldn't go to beach with bare feet at this time of the year in Michigan, but it's so pretty to see it.
Lovely post, lovely words. It's always good to be mindful of those without. Thanks for the reminder.
Absolutely LOVE the video, Kelsey. And agree that even though this time of year can be hectic, I know that I am lucky to have all sorts of hectic, right alongside all sorts of beauty. Happy holidays! xo
Look at your curly-wavy hair! And windy-beach topknot. You're adorable.
"Joy elevates the mundane." This sums up not only what's wonderful about this time of year, but what can be wonderful about living.
I enjoyed this video so much! You two are lovely, thanks so much for sharing.
Brandi {not your average ordinary}
I can't tell you how thrilled I was to see this post. Utterly and completely, plus some. The video is incredible and all of your food photography is STUNNING! I'm so excited to make this soon — and see what I can create with it!
I needed this post. I came across it days ago and it got lost in the millions and bajillions of tabs I have open. I'm kind of happy for it, though, because it's helping me put a different perspective on the events of the weekend. Thank you for that.
I'm not sure if my desire to find chestnuts came from seeing this post or not, but I had a lot of fun roasting the ones I finally found today. I didn't make the spread, but I definitely agree that the peeling process is more fun with a friend. I made these with Mom.
I showed her the video too because I couldn't keep it to myself. Totally gorgeous!
I hope you had a very very merry Christmas
Brandon @ Kitchen Konfidence
Another amazing video. Loved it!!
Megan Gordon
Oh goodness! We were going to roast chestnuts on Christmas Eve and never got around to it. So I love this idea and can't wait to try it (good on ice cream you think?). You're so right about the fellowship among strangers — that's one of my favorite things about the holidays: the "hello's" and "happy holidays" from people who usually walk right by you on the street. I hope you had a lovely, lovely holiday filled with baking, blankets, and a little sleeping in.
Just came across your blog and am looooving your gorgeous photos. <3
This looks amazing!!!
Ah finally a good chestnut recipe! When I lived in Italy, my home-stay mom would make chestnut jam that was TO DIE FOR. I have been missing it So this just made me so happy.
I have been reading your blog for about a month now and love it. I have had my eye on this spread for a while, but just now read the post and watched the video. The music was beautiful and I want more! . It is so romantic and made me long for a walk with a lover, but I think that is want food is to some of us , a lover that we walk with in our kitchen at meal time.
We have 10″ of new snow on the ground and I happen to have left over chestnuts so guess what I am doing…
Roasted Chestnut Spread | One Tough CookieOne Tough Cookie
[…] And our chestnut spread turned out beautifully. The vanilla and the touch of sugar give it just enough of a sweetness, and the mellow flavour reminds me of the bean pastes used as fillings in my favourite Asian sweets. The recipe for the spread, and a beautiful video to boot, can be found on the incredibly lovely blog happy yolks. […]

Relax – this is just the first entry in a week set to examine the leadership traits of the sexes. To open let's chat about the strength of male leaders.
1. Men do not experience prejudicial reactions based on gender when placed in charged. People are used to seeing male leaders and therefore accept a male leader more readily than a female.
2. Male leaders are more likely than female leaders to attend to follower's mistakes and failures to meet standards – active management by exception (Eagly et al 2003). This ensures everyone is aware of the expected standards.
3. Male leaders are more likely than female leaders to wait until problems are severe before intervening (Eagly et al 2003). This ensures that subordinates have the opportunity to test their skills and abilities without interference.
4. Men are more likely than women to take credit for their work (HBR Jan 09). Celebrating one's accomplishments can lead to credibility within the organization.
5. Men are viewed as better visionaries (HBR Jan 09). Every leader needs a vision.
6. 'Men speak more confidently and boldly on an issue, with very little data to back it up." (Ann Dumas, 2009). Speaking with confidence inspires confidence.
7. Men have, on average, 'thicker skin' than their female contemporaries. (Psychology Today, 08). It allows a leader to stay focused and not get distracted by personal attacks.
8. Agentic leadership characteristics (e.g. assertiveness, controlling, confidence) are more commonly ascribed to men than women. (Eagly et al 2003).
9. Men tend to develop problem-focused solutions. Obvious cause and effect. (Grey, 2008)
10. The numbers are on their side in 2008 21.5% of people polled by PewResearchCentre said men are better leaders.

Tucked into the hills of Hendersonville, North Carolina, Fox Run Preserve is only minutes from the historic downtown. Once you pass through the gates you'll feel you've entered a world apart.
This private community's design invites you to make the most of life in the Western North Carolina mountains. Parks, gardens and green spaces accent the community's sanctuary-like setting, which rises from open meadows to a mature mountain forest of poplar, oak, and rhododendron. Picnic with friends beside a mountain pond. Gaze at the stars from Skyview Park. Or enjoy sunny afternoons discovering community trails.
To preserve the tranquility of the setting, the Hendersonville real estate offerings within Fox Run Preserve are limited to include only 44 homesites. These cottage homesites rest in a rolling, forested landscape, some with breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Watch the Exclusive First Clip From 12 Years a Slave
It's already one of the year's most talked-about films.
Steve McQueen's searing slavery epic 12 Years a Slave won't be released until October 18, but if it feels like it's already dominating the pop cultural conversation in a way that's unusual, that's befitting of a film that demands to be discussed. Vulture has the exclusive first clip from the highly praised film, and it's a rare idyll in the brutal story, an early scene that comes before Solomon Northup (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) is tricked, kidnapped, and sold into slavery in the south. When we meet Solomon in this scene, he's still a free man living in 1841 New York, an acclaimed violinist of means with a happy family (and a daughter oh-so-briefly portrayed by last year's Best Actress nominee, Beasts of the Southern Wild star Quvenzhané Wallis). Solomon thinks little of going into a fancy shop to buy his wife something nice for an upcoming trip, but as you'll see in this scene, not everyone takes his freedom for granted — and soon enough, that freedom will be a distant memory that the enslaved Solomon clings desperately to, a reminder of who he once was, and who, deep down, he still remains.

I found this ceremony in some old program helps. I thought it would go well with the Cub Scouts Give Thanks supplemental program theme for April.
Celebrate our heritage and be thankful with theseThanksgiving related ideas. Whether you are having a Thanksgiving themed Pack meeting or something to do in November with your Troop or Crew, you will find some new ideas here.
Thankfulness Zone Cub Scout Gathering Activity
An appropriate Cub Scout gathering activity for your den or pack will get your meeting off to a good start. This gathering activity works well with the April Cub Scout theme of Cub Scouts Give Thanks.
S bar F Scout Ranch Grace
Our council has several properties, but the one most Boy Scouts attend for summer camp is S bar F Scout Ranch. This is the S bar F Ranch grace.
Good Manners Napkins
Do you ever feel like you are repeating yourself when you are teaching your kids table manners? Here is an idea your Cub Scouts can make for their holiday table or even for everyday family dinners.
Thanksgiving Scoutmaster (or Cubmaster) Minute
This makes a nice Scoutmaster Minute or Cubmaster Minute or even just a good reflection for a family gathering at this time of year. This is based on something in some old BSA program helps
Hunting for Thanksgiving Dinner Skit
Here's a fun skit for a Pack meeting or a November campout. It is very easy and can be put on with almost any number of Scouts.
Tabletop Tipi Model
Scouts who are doing a Native American themed meeting or activity can create a simple tipi model to get the idea of how these versatile dwellings are constructed. We made these at a Cub Scout training session and they were very easy.
Turkey Treat Cupcakes
Here's a fun dessert to make with your kids this time of year. Use it to fulfill Bear Achivement 9 (What's Cooking) requirement f: "With an adult, make a dessert for your family" or just for fun at a den meeting.
Thanksgiving Ideas for Scouts
This month I am featuring a Thanksgiving theme. I'll have some crafts and other ideas for the Cub Scouts, but there are also things which Boy Scouts and Venturers can do with this theme.
Addams Family Grace (Song)
This favorite Cub Scout grace is a song. The tune is the theme of the Addams Family show. (Hence the name.)
Philmont Grace
This grace is also known as the Wilderness Grace or the Worth Ranch Grace. It is attributed to Jerry Fulkerson from the Worth Ranch Scout Camp in Texas.
Thanksgiving Song
Here is a silly song for the Cub Scouts to sing on Thanksgiving. Use this for any of the Cub Scout music requirements
Johnny Appleseed Grace (Song)
Duty to God is an important part of Scouting, so don't forget to say grace at Scouting events. This is a non-denominational grace which would be appropriate at any meal.

My family bypassed this summer's water park crowds, speed slides, extreme rides and wave pools for something much more relaxing and off the beaten path.
In our quest to find a kid-friendly park in a quiet area, a cousin coaxed us into taking a last-minute before back-to-school day trip to an 80-acre, freshwater lake and aqua park stocked with fish.
I had a hard time believing our cousin's claim, until we drove deep into Franklinton where the budget-friendly park lies, backed up against hundreds of majestic pines and a lot of fluffy, white sand.
This gem of a park in Washington Parish is so preserved and isolated that it does not show up on a GPS system. To get there, we followed a paper map and some directions we found on the park's website.
Upon arriving, we set up our picnic baskets, ice cooler, rented a huge beach umbrella and spent a long afternoon splashing in the lake, jumping on water trampolines, slides and kayaking.
But before our children could enter, the park's owner, Tom D'Luca, greeted us and briefed our children on his safety rules. "Our safety record is perfect. We've never had a drowning," he told us.
"My kind of waterpark," I replied. My cousin nodded as her 4-year-old son plunged from an aqua slide into the lake and shouted, "I'm not scared of anything."
When D'Luca saw my son, who is 9, leaping from the wrong side of the water slide, he told him: "I'm going to give you one warning and after that you'll have to sit in the sand for the rest of the day."
Fish sightings seemed to elicit the most reaction from the children. My 7-year-old daughter screamed after she felt several fish swim past her feet. "Mommy, why are there fish in the water?" she asked me.
"This is a lake and not a pool," I reminded her.
Meanwhile, as I floated on my back in a warm spot along the lake — temperatures in the water varied from warm to cool — I thought about the millions of people who might be spending the day at cramped water parks, probably thinking they were in the best place.
Of course, I could be wrong. In 2012, about 85 million people visited water parks in North America, and in 2013, some 11 million people visited the top ten U.S. water parks, which included Disney's Typhoon Lagoon.
I guess it's not hard to understand why folks flock to pricey water parks. I will admit, the white sandy beach my family visited could not provide the surfing, extreme water slides nor the restaurants that the commercial parks offer.
However, it gave us a huge dose of fresh air, a lot of open space and time for our children to explore and understand the beauty of a freshwater lake.

Edmonds police reported Monday that they arrested a 27-year-old Snohomish man early Saturday morning after he had stolen numerous items from a home in the Aurora Marketplace neighborhood then fled the scene on a stolen bicycle.
Police responded to a call at 3:50 a.m. Saturday that a residential burglary had just occurred in the 8700 block of 236th Street Southwest. Officers learned that the 34-year-old homeowner was awakened by a suspicious noise, and when he looked out his window he observed an unknown suspect fleeing from the home on the victim's bicycle. The victim chased after the suspect on foot, but lost sight of him a short distance from the home, so called 911 for help.
Police investigating the scene found that the suspect had broken into the home while the man, his wife and their two young children were asleep inside and stole a number of items, including the couple's wallets and the man's shoes.
Four minutes after the original call was broadcast, an Edmonds police officer located an individual matching the suspect's description near the entrance of a motel in the 23900 of Highway 99. The man, who was taken into custody, was wearing the victim's shoes and had both wallets stolen from the home, which included the couple's identification. Another officer located the victim's bicycle, which was hidden behind a garbage dumpster next to the motel. The remaining stolen property was located in the victim's backyard, where the suspect had gathered it in cloth grocery-type bags.
The suspect was arrested and booked into jail for residential burglary.

A 911 dispatcher reportedly stayed on the phone with a stroke victim for almost eight hours while rescue workers scrambled to locate the victim, the New York Post reported.
Emergency Medical Dispatch Capt. Philip Weiss reportedly wrote a letter to the FDNY asking that the dispatcher, EMT Joann Hilman-Payne, and her colleagues be recognized for having gone above and beyond in rescuing Mary Thomas.
"Throughout the entirety, [Hilman-Payne] worked to keep the patient awake, she never lost her own composure and remained calm while attempting to elicit more information from the patient," Weiss wrote.
Thomas was reportedly working as a housekeeper at the apartment where she had a stroke, which is part of what made locating her so difficult.
Hilman-Payne reportedly stayed on the phone with her to keep her awake, though she was unable to understand much of what Thomas was saying, as her speech was badly slurred.
Efforts were made by the FDNY, the NYPD and Verizon to trace Thomas' cell phone, but success only came around 8:30 p.m. when Verizon was able to successfully pinpoint Thomas' cell signal at an East 72nd Street apartment.
Thomas was rushed to Lenox Hill Hospital, and is reportedly being treated in the Intensive Care Unit.

Nauticam receives Red Dot Awards
Nauticam International Managing Director and Wetpixel member Edward Lai, with Nauticam General Manager Jacqueline Lai received two Red Dot design awards at a ceremony held at Essen, Germany. Nauticam's ND-D7000V housing and their White Balance Dome Port both received product design awards for 2012.
The Red Dot awards are carried out in three categories: The "red dot award: product design", the "red dot award: communication design" and the "red dot award: design concept". In 2011, there were more than 14,000 entries from over 70 countries registered. Both Nauticam products received awards in the Outdoor, Leisure and Sports Category. Nauticam is the first underwater housing manufacturer to have been recognized by the Red Dot's panel of experts.
The products will form part of an exhibition at the Red Dot Design Museum.
Edward and Jacqueline could not resist doing some business during the ceremony. Here they are with Nikon executives Takami Tsuchida, Akira Nojima, and Ted Nakayama. I'm sure they were trying to find out Nikon's plans for future camera designs!

a) Yesterday, he went to the haunted house --the one that we are all afraid of--to look for his missing ring.
'that we are all afraid of' tells us that we are still afraid of the haunted house.
'that we were all afraid of' tells us that we are no longer afraid of the haunted house.
b) If I knew that was going to be the last time that I'd see you draw picture of a man who sees god for the first time, I would have taken a picture out of your painting.
The man in the painter sees God for the first time, so use 'sees'.
c) You have always told me (that) you don't know what it feels like to be old and on wheels. Now I found way to show you what it feels like to be me.
You don't know how it feels or You don't know what is feels like. (general fact)
d) Where did you learn a feat like that? I mean, where did you learn how to disable your enemy like that before he takes his move? It was amazing.
It was amazing: What you did was amazing.
It is amazing: What you can do is amazing.
e) Look, (during) my second week in/at CSI you told me (that) when a cheating spouse is murdered there's always two suspects at the top of the list: the lover and the betrayed.
It's fine. I added in the omitted words, and changed the punctuation. (Hey, by the way, I saw that episode. It was amazing!)
f) I asked the mechanic one question about how that machine works and to my surprise that mechanic couldn't answer my question.
General fact: How the machine works.
g) When I was a child, I wish I had a mentor who could show me the purpose of life.

Insomnia Home > Tryptophan Side Effects
Although a normal dietary intake of tryptophan should not cause any problems, using tryptophan supplements can potentially cause serious side effects. Tryptophan supplements may cause eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS) or serotonin syndrome, both of which can be quite dangerous. Some signs of these conditions include nerve pain, difficulty walking, and very severe muscle pain.
Side Effects of Tryptophan: An OverviewJust like any medication or supplement, tryptophan (also known as L-tryptophan) can cause side effects. A normal dietary intake of tryptophan (through foods) does not usually cause problems for most people. However, the use of tryptophan supplements has been associated with certain side effects, some of which may be quite serious.
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible tryptophan side effects. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list with you.)
Tryptophan Side Effects to ReportThere are a number of potential side effects with tryptophan that you should report to your healthcare provider and which might indicate that you should stop taking the supplement. In particular, any signs of eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome or serotonin syndrome (both of which can be quite serious) should be reported immediately to your healthcare provider. These side effects include, but are not limited to:
- Signs of eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS), such as:
- Very severe muscle pain
- Fatigue
- Nerve pain
- High eosinophil levels (found using a blood test)
- Nerve pain
- Hair loss
- Rash
- Dry, thickened skin or other skin changes
- Signs of serotonin syndrome, such as:
- Confusion
- Seeing or hearing things that are not really there (hallucinations)
- Fast heartbeat (tachycardia)
- Feeling faint
- Fever
- Sweating
- Muscle spasms
- Difficulty walking
- Diarrhea
- Signs of an allergic reaction, such as:
- A rash
- Hives
- Itching
- Swelling of the mouth or throat
- Wheezing
- Difficulty breathing.
Starting in 1989, there was an epidemic of EMS cases in the United States, mostly due to tryptophan supplement use. More than 1,500 cases and 37 deaths were reported. At this time, it is not clear if EMS is associated with just one brand of tryptophan (which contained contaminants) or with all tryptophan supplements.
Many public health officials and researchers assert that there is good reason to believe that EMS is associated with all tryptophan supplements, while some people firmly believe that only contaminated supplements caused such problems. There are good and valid arguments on both sides of this debate, and the question currently remains unanswered.
