Promise #1: We'll be with you every step of the way.
Even though we all have different roles here at Stockn'Go, we share the same goal: happy shoppers. And how exactly do we bring a heaping dose of happy into your life? By taking the initiative to understand you and your needs. By asking questions. By listening and learning. And most importantly, by delivering on our word. Always.
So, as your shopping needs evolve, you can rest assured that we'll be right there. Checking in, following up, making sure you have everything you need to live smart - whether you're shopping for one, two, or a hundred people.
Promise #2: More time for the things that matter.
We could easily go on and on about why you'll love shopping with us, but we know you've got a busy life to attend to, so we'll just cut to the chase. What you should know is this: in addition to our huge discounts and below-retail prices, and access to thousands of brand-name products, you'll get something money just can't buy - our relentless devotion to you, to quality and service, and to making shopping for the essentials easier. Period. Because we want you to be free to focus on everything else, like catching up with your family and friends. Or just catching your breath.
Promise #3: We'll treat you like a person, not a web stat.
We treat you the way we want to be treated. That means always acting with integrity. Keeping information simple and clear. And nurturing a climate of trust and understanding where your privacy stays private, credit card information stays where it's supposed to (with you), and your personal information is never shared without your permission. Ever.
Oh, and one more thing, your input actually matters to us. So you're always welcome (and encouraged) to share your reviews, ideas, and suggestions about what we can do better. They won't get 'lost' in cyberspace. We promise.
Promise #4: No-stress, no mess shopping.
You know that "it's good to be home" feeling? Where the day's stresses just seem to melt away?
If we could put that super zen feeling in a bottle, well, we would. We'd probably get really famous, and we'd probably be selling the stuff in bulk at StocknGo.com. But since this is real life and we can't do that, here's what we will do: consistently give you an uncomplicated, top-notch shopping experience that puts you at ease every time you shop. Take, for instance, our soon to be reoccurring orders option (working on it now, didn't want to deprive you from a good deal while waiting for it to be completed). This is how it will work, order once, tell us how often you want your purchases delivered, and we'll get them to you like clockwork. So you'll have less on your mind to worry about. How's that for stress-free shopping? We always want you to feel at home with us, because when you do, you'll be happy to keep inviting us into yours. And your family's. And your friends'. And your friends' friends'. You get the picture.
Promise #5: We'll never settle for second best.
We don't do second best. Because frankly, we don't think you should either. That's why we go for the gold in everything we do, constantly blending research with creativity and exploring new opportunities and solutions, to make your shopping experience one that's worth coming back to. A second, a third, a zillionth time.
At Stockn'Go we love to pick up the tab for our customers. When you place an order the shipping is on us regardless of wieght, size, and quantity. That's right, FREE shipping on all orders.No Membership Fees Needed. No Hassles. No Gimmicks.
It's simple. In order for us to give you the best price possible with FREE shipping, just order the quantity you like in pack sizes only. We currently offer 1 Packs, 2 Packs, 3 Packs, 6 Packs and 12 Packs. Just look for the caption bubble with the pack size you choose and add to cart!

In addition to making sure that reduce input keys are brought to the same reducer (a partition contains multiple keys, and all the reduce inputs with the same key are in the same partition), the shuffle also sorts by key so that all the values for a given key are processed by the reducer in one batch without the framework needing to buffer them in memory.
The output of the
reduce function is written back to HDFS, where it can be viewed by the user, or fed into another MapReduce job in a workflow of jobs. The intermediate map output and reduce input files are deleted once the job is complete.
Node Failures
The implementation seems straightforward, but what Hadoop does very well is protect the user in the face of machine failure, which tends to be common on large clusters of machines (just by the laws of probability). If one of the nodes storing a block replica or one running a map or a reduce task fails, the MapReduce runtime reschedules the task on another node. The user may not even notice the failure and the job will complete in the usual way.
Similarly, if a disk fails, HDFS will re-replicate its blocks to another node in the cluster. No file is unavailable during the time that re-replication is taking place, since the other two replicas of each block are available on other nodes in the cluster.
The Hadoop Ecosystem
HDFS and MapReduce form the core of Hadoop, but they are just two parts in a growing system of components for large-scale data processing. Just like the term "Linux" can be understood to mean both the kernel and a larger distribution of the kernel and applications, so the term "Hadoop" can encompass a stack of components running on HDFS and MapReduce, forming a sort of Big Data Operating System. Today, there are many vendors offering Hadoop distributions, and in the remainder of this article, I look at some of the components that can be found in most distributions.
Analysis: Pig, Hive, and More
The first projects to emerge in the Hadoop ecosystem were for users who wanted to run analytics but either could not or did not want to write MapReduce jobs. Apache Pig and Apache Hive provide languages and runtimes for data analysis. Pig is a new dataflow language for operating on sets of tuples, while Hive offers SQL, which is fairly close to SQL '92. I will show examples of both languages in the next part of this series.
Hive is no longer the only option for SQL on Hadoop, although it is the most mature option. Over the last year or so, various vendors and open source projects (such as Apache Drill and Cloudera Impala) have announced Hadoop SQL implementations that replace the MapReduce runtime that Hive depends on with a lower latency system.
For Java programmers, the Cascading framework and Apache Crunch are two libraries that provide higher-level APIs than MapReduce. The simple key-value abstraction is replaced by operations on tuples, such as joins, and multi-stage jobs are handled implicitly by the library (operations are compiled into MapReduce jobs). Both projects also provide Scala APIs, which makes for very concise queries. One advantage that both systems have over Pig and Hive is that writing user-defined functions (UDFs) is smoother in Cascading and Crunch, because they are written in the host language (Java or Scala), rather than a different language (Java for Pig and Hive, although Pig also supports Python).
For data scientists, the Apache Mahout project offers a rich set of machine-learning libraries, including algorithms such as clustering and classification. Many of the algorithms are written to use MapReduce, so they scale to large datasets.
Realtime Datastore: HBase
HDFS performs very well for the use cases it was designed for: streaming reads and writes of large files. However, there are other data access patterns where a datastore with different characteristics is more appropriate. Apache HBase supports fast random access both reads and writes to large tabular datasets, which may consist of billions of rows and millions of columns. Unlike some NoSQL datastores, however, HBase reads and writes are strongly consistent. Another useful characteristic of HBase is that you do not have to forfeit the ability to perform batch analysis: HBase will act as a source or a sink for MapReduce jobs; and Pig, Hive, and the other analysis frameworks can be run over datasets in HBase.
Data Ingest: Flume and Sqoop
A common problem that new users of Hadoop face is how to get their data into Hadoop. From the beginning, there has been a way to copy data efficiently between Hadoop clusters (using a tool called distcp), but this presented a chicken-and-egg problem: How do you get all your data into Hadoop in the first place? Two ingest tools have emerged to help out: Apache Flume and Apache Sqoop. Flume is a system for collecting log data and storing it in HDFS or HBase. Flume agents run on the cluster and continuously process events from sources such as server log files or syslog (many others are supported as well), and reliably delivers them to the target datastore. By contrast, Sqoop is a bulk ingest system, and the canonical use case is performing a nightly dump of all the data in a transactional relational database into Hadoop for offline analysis.
Workflow: Oozie
Hadoop clusters have to support many users, sometimes across different departments in an organization. Typically, they run a mix of ad hoc queries and production jobs that have to run to a particular schedule. Managing the resources in the cluster so that users' needs are balanced and production deadlines are met is the job of the MapReduce scheduler. Another project, Apache Oozie, provides a service for defining, scheduling, and running workloads, which are pipelines of dependent jobs. A simple workload might be a MapReduce job that does data preparation followed by a Hive query for producing a daily report. More complex workloads may be made up of tens or even hundreds of jobs.
Data and Metadata: Avro and HCatalog
Most users of Hadoop start by storing data as plain text. Text is simple to work with; however, it is inefficient for large datasets and there are lots of good alternatives that work with Hadoop.
Apache Avro is a language-independent, compact, fast, binary data format that is growing in popularity and is supported by most components in the Hadoop ecosystem. Avro data is described by a schema, and one interesting feature is that the schema is stored in the same file as the data it describes, so files are self-describing. Avro does not require code generation, making it possible to write generic tools for processing Avro data with any schema.
There has been a recent resurgence of interest in columnar formats in Hadoop. Columnar formats store values from one column next to another on disk, rather than the normal way of writing row-by-row. They are ideal for storing datasets with many columns when most queries only access a small number of the columns, since the unread columns can be skipped very efficiently. Hive has provided a columnar format for a while in the form of RCFile. Recently, Trevni was released as a part of Avro with the goal of providing a high-performance, language-neutral columnar format for Hadoop.
One of Hive's successes has been its metastore: The database of table definitions that describe the data stored in HDFS. The Apache HCatalog project was started to open up the metastore so that other projects, such as Pig and MapReduce, could share table definitions with Hive.
Packaging and Deployment: Bigtop and Ambari
With such a large number of components in a Hadoop deployment, it's difficult to pick a combination that works well together. This is where Apache Bigtop comes in to test and package a known set of Hadoop components, relieving users of this burden. Hadoop distributions such as Cloudera's CDH and Hortonworks' HDP build on Bigtop for their testing and packaging.
Running a cluster is more complex than simply installing the packages and starting the service daemons. Projects such as Apache Ambari and Cloudera Manager provide a cluster-level interface for managing configuration, monitoring, alerts, log file search, inter-service dependencies, service upgrades, and other details.
Next Generation Hadoop
Hadoop version 2 has a new resource management framework called YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator), which generalizes data processing beyond MapReduce. The prototypical YARN application is MapReduce, which will not be going away because it shines for batch computations over very large datasets. However, YARN opens up the processing power of a Hadoop cluster to new distributed processing algorithms, such as large-scale graph processing (which is inefficient in MapReduce because the graph has to be materialized to disk between each MapReduce job in the workflow).
In the next article in this series, I will demonstrate how to write and run a MapReduce job on Hadoop.

American comic Orny Adams first rose to international prominence after co-starring in Jerry Seinfeld's documentary "Comedian." He has made several appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and has appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman. In 2010, Orny followed up his critically acclaimed debut comedy DVD/CD "Path Of Most Resistance," with a powerful and poignant one hour special "Orny Adams Takes The Third" which aired on Comedy Central. Currently, Orny can be seen playing the iconic role "Coach Finstock" on the hit MTV show "Teen Wolf," a one hour drama created by Criminal Mind's Jeff Davis. Jeff handpicked Orny for the role after seeing him at the Hollywood Improv.
Early in his career Orny was named in The Hollywood Reporter as a favorite comedian to watch. He has written jokes for Jay Leno, Garry Shandling, and many other top comedians. He has twice written for the Annual Emmys Broadcast and has become the "go to" guy when a celebrity needs a funny line. In July 2000, Orny made quite an impact at the Montreal Comedy Festival, which resulted in a development deal with Warner Brothers Studio, and his appearance on Letterman. In 2010, Orny was thrilled to return to the festival in Montreal working alongside one of his favorite comedians Steve Martin on a taped televised stand up show Martin hosted. Orny garnered rave reviews for his performance and was called a "Stand-out act" by The Hollywood Reporter.
Other notable projects include a talk show pilot developed for Orny by CBS Television Distribution/Kingworld along side Ashton Kutcher's Katalyst Films. Orny shot another pilot for his own late night talk show for TBS and taped his own series, "Modern Chaos with Orny Adams" for The Discovery Channel. He hosted his own show on Discovery's Travel Channel, has appeared on Jiminy Glick, Tough Crowd on Comedy Central, The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, Last Call With Carson Daly, and did a regular segment on Hollywood and politics on Entertainment Tonight and The Insider. You may also recognize him from other notable television appearances and many of his national commercials, including Coca-Cola. Orny made his first TV appearance in 1996 on Friday Night Videos.
When not performing stand-up, Orny spends his days writing, penning scripts, and developing television shows. A few years back, he struck a deal with Endimol for "The Pitch," a reality show he conceived.
But none of this matters until you see Orny live where he is at his best, deconstructing the chaos of the modern world and getting worked up about things that most people just accept. His tour has reached clubs, theatres, even the Staples Center in LA, colleges, corporate events, and festivals as far away as Ireland, Australia, and South Africa. Orny's comedy style is unique, yet universally appealing. Orny is quick on his feet to deliver a powerful, clever, sophisticated, and fast paced routine that attacks topics from an angle that many people have never considered.
Go see for yourself. For more information, video clips and everything Orny go to: www.ornyadams.com
What some people have said: "I'm a big Orny Adams fan."
-- Jerry Seinfeld
"I thought this CD was hilarious. Then Orny told me it was a DVD. Well, to see his facial expressions made it even funnier. Either way, he kicks ass."
-- Garry Shandling
"You judge a comedian by the laughs he gets and the laughs on this CD are huge...shattering. Orny reminds me of Joe Frazier working the ribcage."
-- Dennis Miller
"There's a growing group of people who have known that Orny is a great comic thinker and performer. We search out his stuff on the internet, we go to his shows, we send emails around with things he's said. It's like we discovered Bob Dylan early and everyone else is just about to."
-- Bestselling author Gavin de Becker

The further I get from home, sailing along the New Zealand coast, the smaller the issues seem that once fixed my attention on the news. I suppose that's what a vacation is supposed to do.
Since we've been gone, President Obama closed the deal to raise taxes, after four years and two months of agonizing negotiations. The debt ceiling has been finessed for the moment. The Super Bowl is upon us. But the big fight grabbing headlines Down Under is about gun control; that there is a fight seems astonishing to folks in Australia and New Zealand. People at home marching in the streets to protest proposed gun regulation astonishes me.
Of course, all the news comes to us late, as we sail ever farther south. That in itself is strange; at home we're so accustomed to 24/7 headlines on our TV's, our pads and our phones. The moorings to the mother ship have torn loose and we drift gently away from the intensity of breaking news.
In particular, the Newtown shootings seem to have happened longer ago than last month. The last column I wrote just before leaving spoke to the tragedy, and I felt sick with grief. When we left on Dec. 22, it seemed wrong to leave the States in the midst of such agony. But time and distance buffer pain.
Here, the crew and the other passengers are tuned into events from the U.S. They have a sophisticated knowledge of all things American. People love the States, especially the Big Apple, and they spot us as New Yorkers before we've finished a sentence. Just about every person I've spoken with asked about the big storm and how we did and how New York is recovering.
President Obama is popular here, with the notable exception of a fellow passenger from South Carolina who referred to him as "that old boy in D.C." I've discussed the Newtown shootings with some people, and they wonder at the violence in the States. I wonder, too.
We went on a day trip two days ago, driving miles along a rocky stretch of New Zealand's seal coast. The guide and driver of our four-wheel beach buggy was a young man whose other jobs include running a rifle range, hunting, culling possum for the government and repairing guns. He said he is appalled at the easy availability of guns in the U.S. and the apparent lack of will to tighten the laws.

It's natural to want to take all of the collection as a reaction to the duo's current woes - was this about implying the might of the Dolce e Gabbana house with all those god references?

The NFL rarely has any in-season trades worth discussing, so let's appreciate what the Colts and Browns did for us Wednesday. If the two teams swapped water bottles and tackling dummies, it's a news item. When a first-round fantasy pick gets shipped out of town, it's a stop-the-presses event.
The winless Browns apparently value future seasons more than the present one, as they shipped Trent Richardson to the Colts on Wednesday for a first-round draft pick in 2014. Let's examine what it likely means for both teams and the specific players impacted.
Colts Spin: Indianapolis clearly didn't want Ahmad Bradshaw to be a bell cow in the backfield, and now he doesn't have to be. Richardson figures to step in as the featured guy (even if it's not until Week 4), pushing Bradshaw to a secondary role and Donald Brown off our rosters. I don't see a major swing to Richardson's value - the Cleveland offensive line isn't that bad - but the Colts supporting cast as a whole will probably help him. Every Cleveland opponent was focused on Richardson from the opening snap. That won't be the case in Indianapolis.
[It's game time! Play fantasy football from Yahoo Sports]
Richardson nonetheless is a tricky guy to evaluate from an efficiency standpoint. He leaves Cleveland with a mediocre 3.5 YPC for his brief career, covering 298 carries. The pro-Richardson crowd points to his college tape and scouting pedigree, and they'll also mention the low YPCs that LaDainian Tomlinson and Emmitt Smith posted early in their careers. Young players can improve, and sometimes a change of scenery will motivate a player.
But if Richardson doesn't break out, he wouldn't be the first big-name Alabama back to leave us wanting more. Consider Mark Ingram, stuck with a 3.8 YPC for his career on the pinball-friendly Saints. (Yes, Richardson's fantasy stats were excellent as a rookie, but that's a different argument from his yards-per-attempt.) And maybe there's a chance the Browns know something about Richardson that no one else does; they had him every day, after all, for a year and a half. (I know, many of you are shaking your head now. Hey, it's a theory.)
At the end of the day, I'll take Richardson up a shade for the environment, and I'll nudge Bradshaw down a few slots. Andrew Luck's value is probably a wash. And while we have you in Naptown, don't forget to check on tight end Coby Fleener - he's set for an extended role now that Dwayne Allen is out for the year.
Browns Spin: In the short term, Cleveland needs to figure out its backfield. The Browns are kicking the tires on free agent Willis McGahee; he turns 32 in a month, but he's still the most intriguing name we can pencil into a featured role here. Fullback Chris Ogbonnaya (a straight-line plodder who had a reasonable 73-334 rushing haul back in 2011) is the notable holdover, along with inexperienced scatback Bobby Rainey. If you're desperate for backfield help, I'd gamble on McGahee first, Ogbonnaya second and Rainey third. (And in most leagues with 12 owners or more, someone is desperate for backfield help. Week 2 was a brutal one for injuries.)
The passing game might be in trouble, as you likely knew already. Struggling starting quarterback Brandon Weeden is dealing with a thumb injury and won't play Week 3. Brian Hoyer, thought to be the No. 3 option, has jumped over Jason Campbell and will start Sunday at Minnesota. Sounds like a perfect time to stream the Vikings defense. Hoyer, a 27-year-old journeyman out of Michigan State, has thrown 96 passes as a pro, with mediocre results (59.4 percent completions, 6.4 YPA, two TDs, three picks, 72.2 rating). Good luck with this one, Rob Chudzinski and Norv Turner.
Cleveland has wideout Josh Gordon returning from suspension and tight end Jordan Cameron has been excellent through two weeks. That's a nice starting point. Everyone likes left tackle Joe Thomas. But until the Browns find long-term solutions at other spots - especially quarterback - this looks like one of the NFL's worst offenses. Get ready to stream away, this week and in the near future (Minnesota, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Detroit, Green Bay, Kansas City). The Browns don't figure to score very often.

I'll have to use discussion on Wanted (2009) and Dabangg (2010) as a lead into this brief discussion on Salman Khan's latest movie and, as box office collections are illustrating, perhaps greatest in at least some respects. There's the action element we're accustomed to. There's more comedy and romance. There's a star actress in Kareena Kapoor. There are the familiar characters by Raj Babbar and Mahesh Manjrekar in familiar roles. There's decent music made more enjoyable by strong on-screen personalities and good choreography. And they all work rather well for what has got to be among the most entertaining movies of the year. I am admittedly biased in favor of Salman, but he's bringing the fun back into core, made-for-cinema Bollywood, and that cannot be a bad thing, can it?!
There are plenty of things I like about Bodyguard.
Salman's at the point now where we can safely begin to elevate his action-hero status from 'best among active' to 'legendary among all-time'. No kidding. Check out these videos of the response to Salman's entry in the movie, and the level of interaction in a song, for instance. (Thank you Dunkdaft and Jess for sharing!) Let these be your guide to what kind of movie to expect.
It's this kind of interaction that has long been a Bollywood hallmark, and it's nice to see it being kept alive in the made-for-cinema movies that Salman does.
We could all go on and on about things that fit the movie well and those that do not, but a Salman movie defies the norm and sets its own standards. The takeaway here is that if even part of you is a fan of his, you will enjoy Bodyguard. The dude looks fresh and like he is having more fun than in a very long time. I'll gladly light a cigar in honor of his persistence and belief in his profession and brand of cinema, through the years, having been rewarded with such massive hits in succession. It's only fair, and it's only further testament to his being the biggest Superstar Khan within India.
Please don't let my fondness of Salman or the film imply I don't subscribe to intellectualism as a conscious effort to elevate the self and community – some 'commercial' movies warrant more intellect in their consumption, unbeknownst to those who just love to hate good old Salman and dismiss his films as low-brow. (This includes most critics, of course.)
So, since I like to hypothesize about all things Hindi film, here are some more takeaways and lessons learned, followed by a question which is the subject of my latest poll:
2. Katrina Kaif can specialize in special appearances;
3. Biceps are to Salman what eyebrows are to Rekha;
4. Salman is still the Bollywood style icon;
5. Can we get Salman on a Cat next time? (Ek Tha Tiger (2012) with Kat might offer a good opportunity, perhaps?) and
6. I really quite like the title song (trailer below)...so fitting!
And finally...
A quick poll -- please vote in the sidebar (top-right) and/or comment: Which of Wanted, Dabangg, and Bodyguard did you enjoy most (and why)?
Movie Rating: 4/5 (Excellent!)
Pure fun. Unadulterated Bollywood entertainment.
Music Rating: 3/5 (Above Average)
The only thing missing from each of Salman's latest blockbusters is very good music. They'll get it right some time. Himesh Reshammiya and Pritam have done way better.
My Classification: PG-13
For violence. Family-friendly otherwise.

Lots to learn, but want to catch up with some Genea-Bloggers that I already have met, but want to meet those whose blogs I follow.
- The genealogy speaker I would most like to hear and see is… That's not an easy question to answer. Through PodCasts, Blogs, Webinars, I have heard some of the speakers already. Having been to the FGS conference in Philadelphia a couple of years ago, and the NERGS conference in Springfield, MA this past spring, the Genealogy Society of Pennsylvania Ancestry Day, and a couple of other conferences all add to the list of speakers that I had wanted to hear. But, I am looking forward to hearing the speakers talk about upcoming technical capabilities that are coming our way. A couple of online resources that I don't quit understand (yet) but want to. I have been through the schedule a couple of times and have picked the ones I want to see / hear, but also think that a couple of them will change.
- The geneablogger I would most like to meet in person is… Wow, this is a tough one. As of this time, there are 88 Genea-Bloggers going to be there. The number keeps going up. The short answer, all of the Genea-Bloggers that I haven't met before. But two Genea-Bloggers who I will catch up with, because I have met them, but Thomas MacEntee, to thank him for ALL that he does for the Genea-Blogging community; Randy Seaver, to have a chat about his Brick Wall; and I can't forget my Cousin Dear MYRTLE. (just to name a few)

- The genealogy lecture I would most like to present is…. Me, present? I don't think so.
- I would like to go on a genealogy cruise that visits….Missed the Legacy Family Tree cruise this fall, mostly because the port visits would have only made me (us) go back to spend more time. But, keeping an eye on England, Ireland, and Scotland.
- The photo I would most like to find is… A photo that was published in a Philadelphia (and area) newspaper, that was reported to have been about my Grandfather, and two of his siblings, on their train ride from Kansas to Pennsylvania, when no one picked them up. The police were trying to locate the family.

This review primarily focuses on the scientific evidence for Swedish massage.
Various forms of therapeutic superficial tissue manipulation have been practiced for thousands of years across cultures. Chinese use of massage dates to 1600 BC, and Hippocrates made reference to the importance of physicians being experienced with "rubbing" as early as 400 BC. There are references to massage in ancient records of the Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Egyptian, Indian, Greek, and Roman nations. References to massage are also found in the Bible and the Vedas. Terms for massage include the French word
, the Greek word for "knead," a Hindu word for "press," and an Aramaic word that means "to press softly." The technique that is currently called Swedish massage was developed in the 19th Century by Per Henrik Ling (1776-1839) as a combined form of massage and gymnastic exercises.
Many different therapeutic techniques can be classified as massage therapy. Most involve the application of fixed or moving pressure or manipulation of the muscles/connective tissues of clients. Practitioners may use their hands or other areas such as forearms, elbows, or feet. Lubricants may be added to aid the smoothness of massage strokes.
Techniques used in Swedish massage include (1) superficial stroking in a direction away from the heart or deep stroking towards the heart; (2) kneading in a circular pattern using fingers and thumbs; (3) deep muscle stimulation; (4) rhythmic movements such as slapping or tapping; and (5) vibration.
Sports massage is similar to Swedish massage but is adapted specifically for athletes. Classical massage aims to provide calmness, relaxation, encourage self-healing, and revitalization. Many other variations and styles of massage or touch exist, often developed in specific geographic regions.
Scientific research of massage is limited, and existing studies use a variety of techniques and trial designs. Firm evidence-based conclusions about the effectiveness of massage cannot be drawn at this time for any health condition.
Numerous theories exist on how massage therapy may be beneficial, although there is limited research on the mechanism of action. It has been suggested that massage may have local effects on muscles and soft tissues and may reduce inflammation, stimulate oxygenation of tissues, soften or stretch scar tissue, break up adhesions, reduce buildup of lactic acid in muscles, induce muscle fiber relaxation, and stimulate healing of connective tissues or damaged muscles.
Swedish massage practitioners suggest that this approach can assist the body in delivering nutrients and removing waste products from various tissues. Therapy is said to transform nervous energy into a more steady state. Rhythm is regarded as important to establishing balance and the nervous system is thought to benefit from repetition and tempo. Rhythms are felt to have a meditative quality that is refreshing both to the therapist and client.
Environment is often regarded as being integral to massage therapy and often consists of a comfortable, warm, quiet location, although sports massage may be administered in a gym or locker room setting. Most approaches involve the client lying face down on a platform or table with a sheet covering the lower body. Depending on the technique, sessions may last from 15 to 90 minutes.
Training requirements for massage therapy in the United States varies. Many practitioners are not licensed, and national or international organizations have not reached consensus on standards. The International Therapy Examinations Council (ITEC) offers examinations testing the theoretical knowledge and practical ability (where applicable) of each and every candidate to ensure that their skills are of a sufficiently high standard to achieve an International Professional Qualification. It is recommended that patients seeking a massage therapist for medical reasons discuss the choice of massage practitioner with their primary healthcare professional. References and training history should be checked before starting a therapeutic program.
Evidence Table
These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
Various forms of massage are often used in patients with cancer with the aim to improve well-being and reduce anxiety. Additional scientific evidence is needed to draw a firm conclusion in this area.
Massage may help reduce aggressive behavior in adolescents, but there is currently not enough evidence on which to base a strong recommendation. More studies are needed to evaluate this use of massage.
Massage shows promise as an adjunct to traditional medical detoxification for alcohol. Further research is needed to confirm these results.
Several human trials have assessed the effects of massage in patients with anxiety, including those with cancer or chronic illnesses, hospitalized for psychiatric disorders, pre-operative anxiety- anxious about themselves or for their children having surgery, dementia, multiple sclerosis, before/during medical procedures, depressed adolescent mothers, women with premenstrual syndrome, patients with fibromyalgia, and in elderly institutionalized patients. Additional research is necessary in order to form a scientifically based recommendation.
Preliminary research suggests that aromatherapy used with massage may help to calm people with dementia who are agitated. However, it is not clear if this approach is any better than aromatherapy used alone.
Massage may benefit children with rheumatoid arthritis, but there is currently not enough scientific data on which to base a strong recommendation for this use of massage.
Promising initial evidence suggests that massage therapy may be beneficial to the lung function of children with asthma. Additional research is necessary before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
Massage administered by the parent may help children with atopic dermatitis. More studies are needed before recommendations for or against massage can be made in this condition.
Preliminary research suggests massage therapy may improve mood and behavior in children with ADHD. Additional evidence is needed before a recommendation can be made.
Massage may help improve sleep patterns, induce relaxation, and improve behavior patterns in autism. However, there is currently not enough data on which to base concrete recommendations in this condition.
Several human trials report temporary improvements in low back pain with various massage methods. A recent study showed slightly more efficacy for traditional therapy; however, the additional benefits of massage may add to its value for holistic nursing practice. Additional research is necessary in order to form a scientifically based recommendation.
Limited evidence suggests possible modest benefits for psychological well-being from massage in bone marrow transplantation. More studies are needed.
There is some evidence from one small study suggesting massage may reduce stress in burn patients.
Early evidence suggests a possible benefit of calf massage for children with spastic diplegia, a form of cerebral palsy. However, more study is needed.
Massage has been used to treat nausea, anxiety, and depression in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Massage may help nausea, but effects on anxiety and depression in these patients is unclear.
Based on preliminary evidence, massage alone, or in combination with mindfulness-based stress reduction, may benefit patients with chronic pain. More research is needed to confirm these results.
A small number of human trials report that abdominal massage may be helpful in patients with constipation. Overall, these studies are not well designed or reported. Better quality research is necessary before a definitive conclusion can be reached.
Limited evidence suggests that simple massage techniques in the critical care unit may help reduce indices of stress and improve mood. More studies are needed.
Early evidence suggests that parent-administered massage may benefit mood and air flow in children with cystic fibrosis.
Massage with or without essential oils has been used in patients with dementia in chronic care facilities to assess effects on behavior. There is compelling early evidence that aromatherapy with essential oils may reduce agitation in patients with dementia, although the effects of massage itself are not clear.
There is insufficient evidence to determine if massage is beneficial in patients with major depressive disorder, situational mood disorders, critical illness, pregnancy, or postnatal depression (including infant massage).
There is early evidence suggesting that parental massage of children with diabetes may benefit blood sugar levels and symptom levels. There is also some evidence suggesting that self-massage of injection sites may increase insulin absorption.
Massage may play a role in enhancing the sensitivity and diagnostic ability of lymphatic mapping in breast cancer patients.
Sunflower therapy, which includes applied kinesiology, physical manipulation, massage, homeopathy, herbal remedies, and neuro-linguistic programming, has been studied for childhood dyslexia. Although initial research appears promising, additional studies are needed to make a firm recommendation.
Several studies of weak design have suggested that massage may benefit post-exercise muscle soreness. However, the data are insufficient to form definitive conclusions.
A small number of studies report that massage may improve pain, depression, and quality of life in fibromyalgia patients. Additional research is necessary in order to form a scientifically based recommendation.
There is insufficient evidence to determine if massage is beneficial in for improving hand grip strength. Early study results conflict.
Based on early study, massage may decrease blood pressure in hypertensive patients. More high-quality studies are needed.
Evidence is limited and mixed as to whether massage may be of benefit to immune functioning or health services utilization in people with HIV.
Limited study suggests a potential benefit for massage to help children recover from impairment of the central nervous system due to lack of oxygen. More study is needed.
There is insufficient evidence to determine if massage is beneficial in patients with iliotibial band friction syndrome.
Preliminary evidence suggests massage therapy may preserve immune function. Further research is needed before a firm conclusion can be made.
Massage has been used in pre-term infants by therapists or mothers with a goal to improve infant development and weight gain. It is not clear from existing studies if this is a beneficial therapy.
There is currently not enough scientific evidence available on whether massage is an effective therapy for migraine.
Initial research reports that massage may improve anxiety, depression, self-esteem, body image, and social functioning in patients with multiple sclerosis. Benefits on the disease process itself have not been well evaluated. Additional research is necessary before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
Preliminary research reports that massage may help relieve chronic pain. Soft tissue massage may also improve range of motion and function. Further well-designed study is needed to confirm these results.
Early evidence suggests that massage may reduce the number and intensity of painful trigger points. More studies are needed.
Massage limited to local areas of the body rather than full body massage may be beneficial in neck or shoulder pain. It remains unclear whether massage itself is effective, and if so, if it is more effective than acupuncture.
Early scientific evidence suggests that people with Parkinson's disease might have reduced symptoms after massage. More studies are needed.
Various massage approaches have been used after surgery with the aim to improve recovery and decrease pain. Further study is needed in this area before a recommendation can be made.
Various massage approaches have been used during pregnancy and labor and are more commonly used in Europe than in the United States. Reduction of pain or anxiety is a common goal. It is not clear how birth outcomes are affected or if this is a safe intervention. Women who are pregnant should consult with their obstetrician before beginning massage therapy.
Initial research of the effects of massage on mood in women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is inconclusive. A recent study investigating abdominal meridian massage (Kyongrak) found positive effects for menstrual cramps and dysmenorrhea. Further study is needed before a recommendation can be made.
A small number of studies have attempted to evaluate the contribution of massage in preparation for invasive surgical procedures. However, results are mixed.
Hand massage did not appear to alter comfort levels or satisfaction with care in nursing home residents in one study. Larger, well-designed studies are needed before a recommendation can be made.
Early research suggests that massage as a means of general rehabilitation for the bedridden elderly or elderly living in long-term care facilities has not been demonstrated to have significant benefits. More studies are needed before a firm recommendation can be made.
Massage may be generally beneficial in rheumatic pain conditions. However, evidence is insufficient to make a strong recommendation.
It is unclear whether massage can reduce the severity of hypertrophic scarring in children. More studies are needed before this use of massage can be evaluated.
Early evidence suggests that massage may benefit patients with spinal cord injury. In these patients, abdominal massage may also have positive effects on bowel dysfunction. However, evidence is insufficient on which to base recommendations.
A 15-minute weekly massage has been studied for the reduction of physical and psychological stress in nurses. Massage was not beneficial for physical stress, but was found beneficial in reducing psychological stress levels. Further study is warranted.

Tradition / Theory
The below uses are based on tradition, scientific theories, or limited research. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider. There may be other proposed uses that are not listed below.
Alertness, Alzheimer's disease, athletic performance, balance and posture, body fat reducer (cellulite), breathing enhancement, bronchitis, bulimia, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, circulation improvement, colitis, coronary heart disease, Crohn's disease, diabetic neuropathy, diarrhea, digestion enhancement, diverticulitis, endorphin release stimulation, epilepsy, fatigue, gastritis, gastrointestinal disorders (colon motility), headache (tension-type), heart rate reduction, hormonal imbalances, increasing parasympathetic nervous system activity, inflammation, inflammatory bowel disease, insomnia, intensive care unit stress, irritable bowel syndrome, joint disorders, leukemia, levator ani syndrome (coccygodynia), lumbar disc herniation, lymph flow enhancement, malnutrition (emaciation in children), mastectomy adjunct, maternal-infant bonding, menorrhagia, menstrual cramps, muscle and joint disorders (muscle damage), muscle relaxation, muscle spasm, muscle wasting/weakness, nausea, pain, perineal trauma, peripheral neuropathy, plantar fasciitis, postpartum hemorrhage (bleeding), pressure ulcers, prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome, pruritus (itching), repetitive strain injury, restless leg syndrome, seizure disorder, self esteem, self-image improvement, sexual problems, sinusitis, skin care, sleep disorders, smoking cessation, sports injuries, sprains, strains, stroke, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), tendonitis, ulcerative colitis, vision (myopia), weight loss.
Many complementary techniques are practiced by healthcare professionals with formal training, in accordance with the standards of national organizations. However, this is not universally the case, and adverse effects are possible. Due to limited research, in some cases only limited safety information is available.
Few adverse effects of massage have been reported. Fractures, discomfort, bruising, swelling of massaged tissues, and a case of liver hematoma (internal bruising) have been reported. Vigorous massage should be avoided in patients with bleeding disorders, low platelet counts, or on blood-thinning medications (such as heparin or warfarin/Coumadin®). Based on preliminary study, blood pressure may increase in healthy patients following vigorous massage (e.g. trigger point therapy); however, in patients with hypertension, massage may actually lower blood pressure. Areas should not be massaged where there are fractures, weakened bones from osteoporosis or cancer, open/healing skin wounds, skin infections, recent surgery, or blood clots. Massage and other touch-based therapies should be used cautiously in patients with a history of physical abuse. Women who are pregnant should consult with their obstetrician before beginning massage therapy. Allergies or skin irritation can occur with some essential oils used in massage.
Massage has not been evaluated as a method to diagnose medical conditions. Massage should not be used as a substitute for more proven therapies for medical conditions. Massage should not cause pain to the client.

Team Chemistry and the Intangible rating: How Chris Carpenter earned an "A" intangible rating on his 2012 season player card
#316-330 Check team morale on offense…
Team is pulling together, exuding confidence. For the remainder of the
game all players have a clutch situation rating.
One of the unique aspects of DYNASTY League Baseball is each players intangible rating which are then used to obtain a team chemistry rating. After last night's NLDS Game 5 in which the Cardinals overcame the largest deficit in major league history to win a winner-take-all game DYNASTY League Baseball players must be thinking the Cardinals have zeroed in on the #316-330 dice roll range on the Bizarre play chart that gives teams with Excellent team chemistry a "clutch" situation rating for the remainder of the game. The "Intangible" ratings have little to do with any sabrmetric analysis, but rather are a "gut check" of a players "heart" and competitiveness. Typically a player who is a team leader is the type of player who will receive an "A" Intangible rating. Think Frank Robinson, Cal Ripken, Sal Bando, David Ortiz, Derek Jeter as the mold in which "A" Intangible players are cut from.
While the Intangible rating is very subjective, few people can argue that Chris Carpenter is a fierce competitor and a team leader that sets an example for the rest of the team. Few thought that Carpenter would even play in 2012 after undergoing surgery that removed a rib, but he was cheering on his teammates while setting an example of a work ethic of how to prepare for each game and believe that you CAN despite all adversity. Will Carpenter receive a player card in the new 2012 season player card set? Carpenter has to have a 2012 season player card even with only 17 IP because of both his on and off field impact and playoff impact coupled with an F Durability rating. Here is why Carpenter is getting an "A" intangible rating in the 2012 season player card set:
CARPENTER: "I was just trying to do everything I can to keep our guys motivated, and keep them going. And that's when I started talking about it. 'Hey, let's make this epic comeback. Let's ruin everybody's night.' The crowd thinks they've got this game. They're beating us 6-1, and our stud (Wainwright) is out of the game, and we're going through our bullpen. It may look bad, but why can't we come back? Get one run at a time, keep on it, and see what happens. I was nonstop the whole time."
SCHUMAKER: "Carp says right away, 'Boys, this is going to be an epic comeback. Just epic.' And he kept saying that over and over. Then I started thinking the same thing. I started buying in on it. I started saying it, too. Then everyone started believing. We were just as loud as we could be."
Daniel Descalso and Pete Kozma getting back to back hits with 2 outs in the 9th to tie the game and then go ahead vs. closer Drew Storen? It definitely can become more likely if Excellent team chemistry is on your team and the Baseball Gods are with you as you roll a #316-330 on the Bizarre play chart. Descalso and Komza will then become "clutch hitters" with a better chance of delivering that big clutch hit.
The new DYNASTY League Baseball 2012 season player card set for the Board version is now available for pre-order at the Ticket Window. You can still get your 2012 World Series player cards sent to you digitally to pre-play the 2012 World Series once you have pre-ordered. Send an email to:
firstname.lastname@example.com with "2012 World Series" in the subject of the email. 2012season player card sets will be shipped on a first-in first-out basis starting in late November.
DYNASTY League Baseball Online (available for Windows and Apple Mac) subscribers will have access to both the 2012 World Series teams to pre-play the World Series and the entire 2012 season when it is released in late

The Republican-controlled House of Representatives late Friday night finally passed a two-fold plan to address the crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border. The plan drew a strong condemnation from the White House, where President Barack Obama vowed to "act alone."
House Republicans first passed a $694 million border-security plan. Then, in a more controversial move, they passed legislation to effectively end Obama's deportation-relief program for undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, which many Republicans have cited as a factor for thousands of unaccompanied minors flowing over the border already this year.
The votes Friday night — completed after 1o p.m. ET in Washington — served as a big, albeit delayed, win for House leadership, including House Speaker John Boehner, new House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and new House Majority Whip Steve Scalise.
House leadership revived the bills Friday after shelving their initial plan on Thursday, an original embarrassment for House Republican leadership. House Republicans left town Friday for a five-week recess slamming the Democratic-controlled Senate, where a bill to address the crisis went up in flames amid mostly Republican opposition Thursday night.
"The House has just passed a responsible bill to address the humanitarian crisis at our southern border," Boehner said in a statement after the border bill passed by a 223-189 vote.
"It will help secure our border and ensure the safe and swift return of these children to their home countries. If President Obama needs these resources, he will urge Senate Democrats to put politics aside, come back to work, and approve our bill."
The revised House border-security plan provides $694 million in funding through the end of the 2014 fiscal year in September. It's far less than the $3.7 billion Obama requested.
The bill includes include changes to a 2008 tracking law that would speed up deportations of unaccompanied minors from Central America, which has served as the key sticking point between Republicans and Democrats on the border debate. The House legislation also sends money to deploy National Guard troops on the border directly to governors.
Both of the House bills have little to no chance of passing the Senate. The White House has threatened a veto of the border-security bill, and a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid suggested Reid would throw the DACA legislation in the trash.
"We will not deport kids who have been here all their lives as a ransom for aiding the border crisis," Adam Jentleson, Reid's spokesman, said in an email earlier this week.
The DACA legislation was added to the package by leadership to increase conservative support. It's a beefed-up version of a bill written by Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.). It legislation would halt the expansion of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, a unilateral 2012 directive from Obama that shields hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants from deportation.
The legislation would put the status of 700,000 immigrants who have been granted work permits in jeopardy — and possibly line them up for deportation.
The White House blasted the vote, and Press Secretary Josh Earnest called it "extraordinary" that House Republicans would vote to end the DACA program.
"The legislation put forward tonight by House Republicans does not responsibly address the problem of unaccompanied children apprehended at the border, and could result in the deportation of hundreds of thousands of DREAMers, young people who were brought to this country as children and are Americans in every way but on paper," Earnest said in a statement Friday night.
"The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program prioritizes the limited resources of the Department of Homeland Security to deport dangerous criminals rather than DREAMers. It is extraordinary that House Republicans are demanding that we reverse that prioritization as a price for getting the resources needed to deal with the urgent humanitarian situation at the border, reduce the immigration court backlog, and address the root cause of child migration."
Earlier in the day, at a press conference, Obama ripped House Republicans and said he would have to act alone to fix the border crisis immediately.
"Well, I'm going to have to act alone because we don't have enough resources. We've already been very clear — we've run out of money," Obama said.
