Not necessarily. He can assist in the crimes (based on Our Confessions he does even that without realizing) even if he knows the mastermind as Shannon, Kanon, Yasu, or Princess Consuela Bananahammock.

Spoiler for All Jan-Poo all the time. SOME stuff actually relevent to Umineko...:
Actually, I've always considered that the reason Kanon "died" in the meta-world of EP6 is because the logic that Battler and Beatrice used outright denied the possibility of his independent existence. Up until that point he could be a separate person.

The author "creates" Lion and his entire scenario as a "what if," proposing a happy world in which things went right and in which everyone who needed redemption was redeemed. The parts of ep7 we see may not be the forgery itself, but a reflection of Will-Author's meditation on the characters and their backgrounds, story ideas, etc. This could explain why Kinzo is sometimes alive and sometimes not; Will-Author can't quite decide how it should play out, and so forth.
Because the story is kind and touches on what Beatrice probably wanted rather than the sensationalism of the murder mystery backstory, this work convinces Tohya that Beatrice can be "laid to rest" if his message has been understood by at least one person. Which could explain why there's nothing that Tohya claims to have written after Dawn.
However, the greater Witch Hunter community would probably mock a story like that and insist that it couldn't just end like that, someone would have to commit the murders and there'd have to be an inheritance argument, in direct contradiction to all the stuff written before about how that wasn't going to happen. So they'd probably insist upon tearing apart the story because they refuse to let Lion be happy. The Will-Author defends his work, but against the weight of the community he's discredited.
However, Tohya is fond of him and so Battler notes that Will and Lion got out of the situation OK, because "screw you I say so."
Of course this would mean we either decide the stuff interwoven into ep7 is distinct from the Will-Author's own forgery and is meant to sort-of-sort-of-not confirm that he's thinking along the correct lines with respect to his characterization and beliefs, or that he made all of it up, which would be intensely frustrating since it's about all the characterization of Beatrice's creator that we really have.
Then again, I can more readily accept that some random guy made up the whole submarine bullcrap than that it actually was supposed to be taken seriously. Will-Author is clearly a hopeless romantic, which actually sort of fits Will's characterization of quitting his job because he's sick of mysteries where motives are ignored.

Also, the Battler-family culprit, even if it DID happen in the real world, would have been NOTHING like what we saw in either EP7 or EP8. The one in EP7 is out of character and, frankly, makes no logical sense. And the one in EP8 is openly admitted to be just a logic riddle.
I do think it's odd we didn't get more about Shannon's free time. Granted, I was kind of sick of Shannon by EP4, but we're told in EP6 that she was only working, like, 3 days a week? And was of course a full time student like Jessica.
I've always subscribed to Will to "a reader who wasn't a jerkass goat, and satisfied Tohya's/Beato's desire to have the story understood properly", but Will = creator of the Lion idea is also pretty satisfying in several ways... an experienced mystery fan would certainly be weary of "certain kinda of tales", and it also holds true to Will deciding not to hold Beato's board to the standards of the Van Dine rules.
ALSO, Wanderer, thanks for clearing up why you didn't take to my "Kanon had an individual body" theory, that's pretty valid.
I would counter, however, that the abuse of Shkanon's "mechanics" (however loosey goosey they might be) is already in the writing, and needs to be accounted for. I HAVE to account for the EP5 parlor scene because it is SO glaring, just, SO VERY glaring, especially after you read EP6. About Lambda's red that the person count is the same, i think the Shkanon Replacement Theory as you offer, probably puts the person count as There are 17 people, except when it's only 16 people.. If I have to also account for Battler's red that killed Erika at the end of EP6, I can only say "rule of cool", as Ryukishi has blatantly done SEVERAL times in the Meta-shenanigans, anyway.
But yeah, I see why one can feel differently, also. Trying to imagine a "1 person, 2 bodies" gameboard...

Or Ange's Sakutarou. If it is true that Ange found a replacement, one could interpret that Sakutarou had two bodies. The Black Witch had two bodies (the body of Eva, and the body of Rosa)
In fact, if Shannon or Kanon could go up to Maria, claim she is Beatrice and perform magic, Battler could do magic for Maria too and now Battler could be Beatrice too.
I would say that because of the way 2 people, 1 body is defined in Umineko, the opposite can be just as true.

If we take that the different arcs were written by different authors, it would make sense that the representation of Beatrice is ITSELF an illusion because the person writing has fallen for this very trap.

Aaah I love the Will = author of Lion theory idea! Don't know if it's true (well, it probably isn't), but it's a lovely idea.
It makes sense that Natsuhi would schedule Shannon and Kanon for that day. And it's entirely possible that Yasu wanted those two on the schedule for that day as well for whatever she had planned. I'm sure Yasu could have got out of the schedule if she wanted to, even if it meant interfereing with Natsuhi's plans. ("We apologise, Madam, but Kanon came down with the flu yesterday...").
I had honestly completely forgotten the details of Shannon's time off the island and whether she was still studying at school or had quit. That's how little we were told about it...
If Shannon was a full time student and only worked a few days a week, that probably hurts the theory that Kanon was a "real" person who was acted out rather than an just an imaginary friend. Because they wouldn't have the same shift every time, and Shannon would still be expected at school when she wasn't on the island. It might still be possible, though, as long as Genji/Kumasawa/etc helped Yasu out a lot. It would just be more difficult.

I just don't believe in Shannon = Kanon...there is too much against. I am still unconvinced...in fact they are still 2 different people to me
1) EP1 - Battler was introduced to both of them as 2 different people and so everyone else (including Jessica) thought of them as 2 different people, thus how could Yasu have gotten away with it for so long dressing up between Kanon and Shannon?
2) EP3 - who did the parents see in the 1st Twilight because the text suggests they saw both Kanon and Shannon?
3) EP5 - Erika saw both Shannon and Kanon together (also nothing was mentioned that Shannon was behind Erika or in front of her)
4) Jessica & George, people keep calling Yasu gender confused but what about Jessica and George? They are certainly not gender-confused...and no clues have been presented which suggests that they are attracted to the same sex, so surely Jessica would have noticed Kanon is actually a girl or Shannon is actually a boy and either said something or stopped loving them...
5) Evidence has been given from what Battler has seen that Jessica does indeed love Kanon and George does indeed love Shannon (so it's not as if these pairings are actually fiction themselves either), so it is clear that J&G believe that Shannon and Kanon are 2 different people.
6) EP2 shows Jessica speaking closely to both Shannon and Kanon, she would have noticed if they were actually the same person if she looked close enough (in fact anyone could have) but this is a more flimsy argument as Yasu could avoid close contact with people, that scene with Jessica and Shannon together in Jessica's room could be false (Battler was not there) and as long as it is possible it is possible, it is possible.
7) Battler, evidence in EP4 I think (whenever they had the picnic) and EP7 shows that Battler had promised Shannon who obviously was a girl (as Battler has shown no inkling of liking the same sex) that he would ride a white horse and take her away from the island, Battler clearly had romantic feelings for her thus suggesting that Shannon is distinctively a girl.
8) EP6, with the logic error bit which Kanon fixes, we still are not told explicitly how he escapes from the cousin's room but a red truth tells us that Kanon does not share a name with anyone in the other room (ie Shannon) and that only the person themselves can have that name (ie no fake names!).
9) EP6, also with the logic error bit if Shannon was stated in red to be part of the 5 who were in the other room and at the same time Kanon was off rescuing Battler, then that means Kanon and Shannon were in 2 different places at the same time according to the red truth.
10) EP6 finale, in red it is said to Erika that even if Erika exists THERE ARE 17 PEOPLE ON THE ISLAND, so Shannon and Kanon are different people to bring the people alive count up to 17 (we know people must refer to those alive because Kinzo is not included in this total).
And so Kanon and Shannon are 2 different people! EP7 was a complete troll of an episode...I don't think Kyrie and Rudolf did anything either (EP2 - 1st twilight shows all)
It was all Rosa - I know it there is no other way...but it is hard to pin her down as the culprit.

How does proving that Shannon =/= Kanon (Which you haven't done, by the way, but I'm sure others will debunk your points better than I can) prove that Rosa is the killer? Why couldn't it JUST be Kanon or JUST be Shannon under what you're suggesting?

pikablu, all your evidence is from written Forgeries which in all likelihood deliberately exaggerate the distinction between Shannon and Kanon in order for Yasu to demonstrate the conflict that she felt within herself.
I doubt that Yasu ever actually play-acted as two different personalities in reality; it's only a device she uses within the stories to show that she felt conflicted between several futures, perhaps even wished that she could live as two (or three!) different people so that she wouldn't have to 'kill' two of the people that she had the potential to become.
As for EP5, that entire episode doesn't make a lot of sense, and it's pretty easy to attribute the parlor scene to Lambda trolling, especially since Ronove warns Battler that Lambda isn't going to be playing the game fairly like Beato did.

But I'll respond with the most general consensus about things. I mention first, though, that your main complaint with Shkanon is "that's stupid and they would've seen through the disguise immediately", which is a problem pretty much EVERYONE has, and we've just had to accept or try not to think too hard about it. I'll also say that I'll restrict these things to the gameboards. That is, I'm not trying to ('cause we probably can't, anyway) account for what was going on in the real world.
1.) We have no idea to what extent Yasu was trying to pull off both roles. It's very possible she was doing it very rarely, if at all, and during the games themselves, she never tries to be both for very long. One or both of them are dead usually, and in EP4 I forget if he saw either at all after he met them.
2.)Yeah, they saw both Shannon and Kanon. That person waited until they left the parlor, and went to the chapel.
3.) The Parlor scene in EP5 is a subject of RIDICULOUSLY HUGE debate, here.
4.) You're right, there's no indication that George or Jessica are anything but typical strictly-heteros. This is not even an issue with anything as presented, though.
5.) Of course George and Jessica think they're dating two different people. You remember Zepar/Furfurs explanation for why it was inappropriate for furniture to fall in love, right..?
6.) Another point along the lines of "but they should have noticed." Like I said, we all have this problem. Of course, Jessica also apparently doesnt notice that gramps has been deadballs for 2 years, so...
7.)Yeah, Battler seems typically hetero, too. You remember that Kanon only started working on the island in 1984, though, right..?
8.)The fact that you can only claim your own name does not prohibit legitimately owning multiple names. And we're rather explicitly told that Kanon "escaped" by virtue of having never been in the room in the first place.
9.)No, we're told Shannon was in the room when it was sealed. All of those people are perfectly free to leave after the seal is broken. It's not a matter of Shkanon existing at two places at once, but rather Kanon, at least for a moment, not existing in any place at all.
10.) Actually in this bit, Shannon and Kanon need to exist as one person to bring it down to 16. So Erika can bring it back up to 17. Of course, take this particular scene ... ahem, "as you will" on the matter.
You can sort of accept Shkanon on the gameboards, because you can't say the clues weren't there, if a bit weakly. And I won't say the execution was very good, either. Won't even say that Kanon existed in whatever the realest world happens to be. But, I mean, it almost certainly definitely is part of the solution to dem gameboards.

I don't think she was intended to be in on it, or at least, the idea of her being so is completely dropped afterwards. The closest I'd say myself is that she probably suspected at least once, or something, 'cause "Grandpa wanders the halls and sometimes smacks me on the ass" to "Man, I haven't seen Grandpa ALL. YEAR." is pretty jarring. But then, this story is clearly not concerned as concerned with Jessica as it could be, for whatever reason, so, hey.

Are there any lines that suggest that she isn't in on it? I've honestly never considered the possibility that she might not be; I mean, why would Krauss and Natsuhi trust the servants but not their own daughter with it?
"......Jessica-chan, what's the head of our family's mood been lately?"
"...Hmm......,Same as last year, I guess. ......Considering they say he's got three months left, he's as stubborn, grumpy, and irritable as ever."
I mean, she could just be assuming that based on what Krauss and Natsuhi are saying, but I think it's more likely that she's been told what to say in advance.

The True Culprit
2) It's highly implied in each episode that the First Twilight is faked. It's entirely possible, nay, likely, that Yasu is buying off all the adults for a Murder Mystery Game for the kids.
3) Did she? Anyway, this is a plot hole for several reasons besides, not just because of Kanon and Shannon.
4) Jessica and George don't know Yasu's true identity. Androgynous people exist, so Kanon seeming girly ain't that big a deal. How's Jessica gonna find out, is she gonna touch Kanon's crotch without asking?
5) How would they know they're not? They're not psychic.
6) It's really not that difficult to mislead someone into thinking you're someone else. And Jessica trust Shannon and Kanon very much, so she has no reason to doubt their identities. Hell, Jessica has the least reason to be suspicious; EP7 points out that she would rather believe in magic than distrust the servants. It TERRIFIES her.
7) What does this have to do with anything?
8) If Shannon and Kanon are the same person, Kanon isn't sharing his name with anyone. The only way that logic error is solved is if Kanon was never in the guest room. That's the point. Shannon was in one room, and "Everyone else" is in another. Since Kanon is Shannon, Kanon isn't part of "everyone else."
9) No they weren't. Shannon exited the room. The other room was more perfectly sealed than the room Shannon is, if you review the Red.
10) ...You can't count. Erika is the 17th person. "Even with Erika, there are only 17 people." That means Everyone - Erika = 16 people. Now count how many people there are.

Setting the Scene... Merchant Marine travels to Troy, NY this weekend to make-up a game originally scheduled for October 5 against RPI. The Mariners returned to action for the first time in four weeks last Saturday and came away with a 26-14 victory over WPI. USMMA earned the 300th victory in program history against the Engineers and is now 2-0 on the road in 2013. RPI will be looking to snap a four-game skid and is most recently coming off of a 35-13 loss to nationally ranked Hobart.
Series History... Merchant Marine currently leads the all-time series against RPI, 12-9, including last year's 34-31 over the Engineers. All of the last five meetings between the two sides have been decided by one possession or less with the Mariners holding a 3-2 record in those games. In the game's 2012 edition, USMMA jumped out to a 21-6 advantage and would finish the afternoon with 352 rushing yards and five touchdowns. The Engineers last earned a victory over the Mariners in the 2010 season finale with a tight 29-27 triumph.
McDaniels in NCAA Statistics... Quarterback Matthew McDaniels (Malverne, NY) remains fifth in NCAA Division III in rushing yards per game, totaling 770 yards and eight touchdowns in his first five career games under center. The sophomore has reached the end zone at least once in every game this season and is a three-time Liberty League Offensive Performer of the Week. He claimed that award for the third time following last week's 138 rushing yard performance as he scored one touchdown both on the ground and through the air.
Big Time Stops... The USMMA defense came up with two huge plays on fourth-and-one in the fourth quarter to secure the Mariners victory over WPI. The Engineers had cut the Mariners lead to 20-14 and had the ball deep in Merchant Marine territory. Freshman Patrick Keyes (Parsippany, NJ) made a solo tackle at the line of scrimmage to end the threat and turn the ball over on downs. Scott Cokeley (Ukiah, CA) made the Mariners' second stop on fourth-and-one on the Engineers final drive of the game.
Nationally Ranked Rushing Attack... Merchant Marine's triple-option offense has the program perennially among the nation's leaders in rushing yards. In 2013, the Mariners currently ranked 11th in NCAA Division III in rushing yards per game. Zachary Boucher (Wyckoff, NJ) is the team's second leading rusher with 58.5 yards per game and two touchdowns on the year.
Scouting the Engineers... RPI has used a running attack by committee in 2013 with five players scoring at least one touchdown. Andrew Armato leads the group in total yards with 368 on 4.4 yards per carry this season. Jeff Avery and Jessie Maynard have split time at the quarterback position with similar numbers across the board. However, the RPI quarterbacks have completed only 43.4 percent of its passes in 2013. The Engineers have a weapon in kicker Andrew Franks, who is 8-of-10 in field goal attempts this season, including 5-of-7 from outside of 40 yards. Brandon Cook is the team's leader on defense with 54 total tackles while Ted Abriel has posted 50 tackles along with four sacks.
Around The Liberty League... Last week featured a full slate of Liberty League games as Hobart, Rochester, Springfield, and Merchant Marine all earned victories. St. Lawrence was handed its first league loss of the season in a 21-20 decision at Springfield. Hobart remains the only undefeated team both overall and in league play as the Statesmen are driving towards a third straight Liberty League Crown. This week's slate of games also includes: Hobart vs. Union and WPI vs. St. Lawrence with Rochester and WPI on a bye week.
Up Next... The Mariners will have their first home since September 28 as they welcome Union (NY) to Brooks Stadium for a 12:00 pm kick-off.

COEUR D'ALENE The Bureau of Land Management has announced that it is seeking public nominations for open positions on its Coeur d'Alene District Resource Advisory Council (RAC), which advises the BLM on public land issues. As published in a notice in the Federal Register, the BLM will consider nominations for 45 days; the nomination period will close on March 27.
Nationwide, the BLM's RACs, composed of citizens chosen for their expertise in natural resource issues, help the Bureau carry out its stewardship of 245 million acres of public lands. The Bureau, which manages more land than any other federal agency, has 29 RACs across the West, where most BLM-managed land is located. Each RAC consists of 10 to 15 members with an interest or expertise in public land management, including such individuals as conservationists, ranchers, outdoor recreationists, state and local government officials, tribal officials, and academics. The diverse membership of each RAC helps ensure that BLM land managers get the varying perspectives they need to achieve their mission, which is to manage the public lands for multiple uses.
"The advice given to the BLM by these citizen-based Resource Advisory Councils is a vital part of the BLM's collaborative approach to land management," said BLM Acting State Director Tim Murphy. "Citizen input enhances our agency's ability to administer and conserve these lands for the use and enjoyment of current and future generations of Americans."
Individuals may nominate themselves or others to serve on an advisory council. Nominees, who must be residents of the state or states where the RAC has jurisdiction, will be judged on the basis of their training, education, and knowledge of the council's geographical area. Nominees should also demonstrate a commitment to consensus building and collaborative decision-making. All nominations must be accompanied by letters of reference from any represented interests or organizations, a completed RAC application, and any other information that speaks to the nominee's qualifications.

Yemeni Man Sentenced to Life in Prison For Acts Of Piracy Resulting in Americans' Deaths
Mounir Ali, a.k.a. "Muner Ali," 23, of Yemen, was sentenced in Norfolk federal court to life in prison for acts of piracy against the S/V Quest, which resulted in the murder of United States citizens Scott Underwood Adam, Jean Savage Adam, Phyllis Patricia Macay, and Robert Campbell Riggle. Ali previously pled guilty to the piracy charge on July 7, 2011.
Neil H. MacBride, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia; Janice K. Fedarcyk, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI's New York Field Office; Alex J. Turner, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Norfolk Field Office; and Mark Russ, Special Agent in Charge of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) in Norfolk, made the announcement after Ali was sentenced by United States District Judge Mark S. Davis.
"Despite being a victim of piracy himself, Mr. Ali voluntarily joined his captors to attack and hold four Americans hostage for ransom," said U.S. Attorney MacBride. "The greed for ransom money ultimately led to the cold-blooded murder of the hostages. Pirates who attack U.S. citizens on the high seas—whether successful or not, whether violent or not—must get the message that they will face lifelong consequences for their actions."
"Even after being victimized by piracy himself, Mr. Ali couldn't resist the temptation to plunder another ship in search of a cash payout," said FBI Assistant Director in Charge Fedarcyk. "That selfish act resulted in the death of four Americans. Piracy is a scourge on our seas, disrupting trade and threatening Americans' lives. The FBI will continue to do all in its power to maintain the rule of law and protect our citizens, wherever they may be."
PHOTO: Two of the yachters killed in the S/V Quest incident, Scott Underwood Adam and Jean Savage Adam
According to court documents, Ali is one of 14 defendants charged together with the piracy of the S/V Quest in February 2011 that resulted in the murder of four American citizens in the Indian Ocean. This defendant, the sole Yemeni, was part of the crew of another boat that was hijacked by a separate group of pirates some months earlier. The defendant had been taken on at least two piracy outings in his captured ship. On the second outing, the defendant was with other pirates when the Yemeni fishing boat, used as a mothership for the Quest hijacking, was captured. The defendant transferred to the Yemeni fishing boat and then chose to go with the pirates when they located the Quest in exchange for a share of the ransom. Ali is the seventh of the defendants to be sentenced of the 11 who have pled guilty to offenses related to the Quest piracy.
The investigation of the case is being conducted by the FBI and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
The case is being prosecuted by Eastern District of Virginia Assistant U.S. Attorneys Benjamin L. Hatch, Joseph DePadilla and Brian J. Samuels, and Trial Attorney Paul Casey from the Department of Justice's National Security Division.

I recently visited by family practice after growing concerned with some pain in my right breast along with a new white blister on my nipple. I furiously massaged it in hot showers and also tried hand expressing to see if it were a clogged duct and the blister did disappear. During the appointment, I shared descriptions of the pain and other symptoms but after checking me out, I left with no diagnosis and therefore, no course of treatment. Instead, they suggested I get an ultrasound of my breast if the pain persisted at the same intensity.
While I did not get the ultrasound, I do still have the pain (although it subsided)and I am worried that it could be thrush. My DD has had no symptoms but I am wondering if an occasional rash on her bum that has been reappearing after some of her larger poopies should have raised more concern in the past. With the arrival of her first teeth, she has been comfort nursing and nursing more frequently. We are 8 1/2 months in and despite a few bumps along the way, she really has had no big issues. Am I being overly anxious or should I go get a second check-up?

The experts agree!
"The Sea Squirts PFD is simply the best flotation device on the market for a child" – Mario Vittone, former U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer and learn to swim expert.
What parents are saying:
We sent samples of our Sea Squirts PFD around the country to real parents, here's what they had to say about it:
"Talon could not wait to hit the beach in his blue Sea Squirts PFD. Honestly; he spent the first two days wearing it around the house, chasing his sisters because he loved it so much! While he thinks he's pretty cool with his fins, I'm happy to know he's safe near the water!" – Stacey, thesimplemoms.com
"We bought a life jacket for him before our day trip to Destin, but he did not like it…it almost seemed like he felt he was being smothered in it. With the Sea Squirts life jacket, he has plenty of room around his neck to feel comfortable, while still keeping him safe." – Lynn, thephotographerswife.com

What is it like to take it? Someone asked about mystical experiences people had when they were baptised into the Church. What about the eucharist? What was it like to first take it?
Frightening and yet warm and inviting.
...it lasts several hours or until I do something to disturb that peace...
I got nothing.
I forgot the maps
well i do firmly believe that the eucharist is the body and blood of our Lord. I was not asking from a sceptical point of view, just wondering . And Heorhij, i think you answered the closest to what i was looking for."How is it life changing?"
I think someone talked about seeing light when they were baptized...anything like that? Like, unexplainable physical manifestations of the mystical.... I know I sound dumb.
Well, in my case, I guess, it was just that I became like several orders of magnitude more self-critical and aware of my sins. I developed, for the first time in my life (being already 49), a prayer rule: about 15-20 minutes of prayer in front of Holy Icons in the morning, and the same in the evening, each day, no breaks. I went to Holy Confession and seriously tried to prepare myself for it, going over a list of common human sins, over and over again. I began (again, for the first time in my life, being already 49) to observe all fasts of the Church. I learned to hold my temper, to abstain from angry reactions to people's words by whispering the Jesus prayer. I know, all of this might seem trivial to people who live all their lives as Orthodox, but to me it all was very unusual and truly a "turning point" sort of experience. And, again, all of those "little things" were sustained in me - or so I thought... - by the Body and the Blood of Christ I was partaking at.
If this earnest repentance is the response you were motivated to make by your participation in what you believed to be the Eucharist, then I would in no way say that that of which you partook was not effective in sustaining you in some way and that the grace of God was totally absent. Clearly, the grace of God moved you through your participation in the sacraments, even if they were celebrated in a non-canonical church.
It's good to have deep reverence for the Bread as the Body and the Wine as the Blood, to stand in awe and to bow before the Mystery, but do not forget that You and your Brothers and Sisters are equally the Body and Blood of Christ. If you revere the Bread and Wine as the Body and Blood, but you ignore that your brothers and sisters are equally the living Body and Blood of Christ, you're overlooking something, to say the least. You bow before the bread and wine, but do you bow before your brothers and sisters, the living temple of God?

The current barrage of advertising targeting frenzied Christmas shoppers may not reap the desired result, according to two University of Notre Dame marketing professors.
For more than 50 years, business observers have argued that satisfying customers is the key to success. However, marketing is apparently falling short in the eyes of American households. A long-term study conducted by Michael Etzel, professor of marketing, and John Gaski, associate professor of marketing, indicates that overall sentiment toward the practice of marketing has remained negative for more than 20 years. Of the marketing dimensions examined, only retail service is viewed as slightly positive, while performance related to product quality, prices and advertising continues to disappoint consumers.
Etzel and Gaski have tracked consumer attitudes toward marketing every year since 1984, using a 20-item survey they created and administered in cooperation with the Synovate polling organization. Their 2006 study indicates that, while overall sentiments have improved over time, consumers continue to express concerns about the kinds of advertising they see on TV. When incorporating secondary data from the 1970s, the authors find a similar 30-year trend. Interestingly, the sentiment toward marketing practices improves with lower inflation and reduced personal saving.
"As consumers save less and spend more, they appear to be less critical of marketing," Gaski said.
The project raises fundamental questions about the widely espoused primacy of satisfying customers.
"It may be conceptually attractive but too difficult to implement, or managers may have found a different approach to be more successful," Etzel explained. "Of course, there is also the possibility that consumers' expectations are unrealistic. Whatever the cause, the divergence deserves examination."
The Notre Dame-Synovate Index of Consumer Sentiment Toward Marketing was published in the Journal of Consumer Research.

5 Home Buying Tips
Sep 30, 2013
Whether you're a first-time buyer or an experienced homeowner, buying a new home can be an exciting—but sometimes overwhelming—process.
Here are five tips from our website to help you make the right "moves."
- Review your credit report. This is the time to clean up any past issues and make sure there are no inaccuracies or mistakes on your credit report (AnnualCreditReport.com is the official site to obtain a free credit report). To qualify for a mortgage, you'll need to meet the lender's credit qualifications. These may vary by lender but you typically need a minimum credit score of 620. If you're not in that range, you may need to spend time rebuilding your credit or come up with a larger down payment. Find more information about how important your credit is, how to repair credit issues and how to understand your credit score.
- Define your parameters. There are many quality and affordable homes—from townhomes and condominiums to single-family or multi-family homes—so make sure you conduct a thorough search. You may not be able to get everything on your wish list, but knowing what your requirements are before you get started will make your search easier.
- Choose your geography. Narrow your search to the key neighborhoods where you want to live. Keep in mind, you may need to expand your search (based on what's affordable for the area), but it helps to have a starting point. If you have children, check the available school options in your area.
- Know what you can afford. Keep in mind, there are some upfront costs when buying a home—down payment, closing costs—and you'll need to be prepared for these expenses. You can use our Mortgage Calculator to help estimate what you can afford.
- Get organized. You'll want to find a real estate agent and get your financing in order. It's a good idea to start gathering your financial records (pay stubs, W2s, bank statements, etc.) and have them ready. Have a co-borrower? Their information will be required, too.
Finally, when you're ready to shop, don't forget to peruse online websites like HomePath.com, which lists Fannie Mae-owned properties for sale complete with photos and descriptions. By entering or choosing simple parameters (like price range and number of bedrooms) you'll find HomePath properties in your area that may jumpstart your search.

What if you have the phone in portrait mode but then could roll out the OLED screen out the side of your phone making the screen more than twice the size to watch a movie on it? Now that's an idea for practical use of flexible screens. I would be watching Crunchyroll on my phone with a 7-9" screen that fit in my pocket.
Why not? You could eventually have a tablet, not a phone, that can fit in your pocket, but unfold to something like a 21" monitor. I think that would be awesome.

The point of the bendable phone is not so you may enjoy its elasticity. It actually serves multiple rather practical purposes. Not only does it protect the phone from damage, but it's even far more convenient to place in your pocket. Normally a phone wastes far more space in your pocket than it should since it cannot consolidate space; however, this bendable phones allows it to conform to the shape of your pocket. This not only frees up space in your pocket, but would even be more comfortable to carry around.
Finally someone smart points out the good and useful qualities of it. It's just like when the iPad was first announced, and everyone was doubting it and saying it was stupid. Now it's huge. Watch it be the same case with this :|
This is already implemented inside the Galaxy S3. They're only showing it off because they can't come up with some good ideas. Some high end phones like iphone 5 still don't have this which is pretty sad. Apple's motto is "innovation and revolution". I don't see them coming up with new ideas.
EDIT: I forgot one more thing, Samsung made a 55inch HD T.V with the same thing that's use on this new bendable phone. It's thin as hell. Search LinusTechTips and watch his CES 2013 videos, you'll find most of the new stuff that's in CES 2013.
Stalking you.
Hey the feature is simple now but after a few years it could expand (pardon any puns). Simple features can multiply and compound into advanced stuff give it a few more years of tinkering and it could be useful. I.e. Increased impact resistance, lightweight, and the already mentioned fact that this could be very compact for storage. It could turn into something similar to the phones in most future based anime though for now it wouldn't be holographic but a roll out sheet.
Though, This may later become a swept under the rug feature similar to multi-touch displays companies like Microsoft and Apple spent years trying to perfect it and now most people don't even think about it on the new phones that are coming out.
Sigh. I wish we can have phones that we never ever have to recharge.
The way I hold you and the night just seems to fly
I remember a friend of mine tell me of these types of screen a few years ago, just they were more for other applications. These included a high tech bendable design that could be applied as light up wallpaper and a pen with a retractable screen in it (the screen was wrapped around the inside of the pen).
Oh great anime gods, what do I watch on this day?
That sounds...AWESOME!
I guess the screen will be harder to crack if you drop it. Like I have done so many times with my iPod touch and Android cellphones.
Put it this way if it was a choice between a bendy screen and a laser beam mounted onto it, Id choose the laser!
MMMmmmmm Daddy plz
it's actually pretty nifty...too many people drop their phones often...they can save on repairs
I'm up for a NAFTA
Society these days
The bendable screen has a myriad of advantages:
1) More durable
2) Potentially cheaper manufacturing process - you can "print" the phone instead of having to assemble it.
3) The bendable screen can be affixed to many more surfaces than a flat screen. A phone might not actually be bendable, but might be shaped so it is easier to use. The bendable screen also has other applications in other sectors. You could put these screens on just about anything - cans of food, telephone poles, etc etc...

St. Joseph Countdown: Titles of St. Joseph
IF one may judge of the greatness of the Saints by the importance of the charges confided to them, St. Joseph must indeed be marvelously great. St. Peter and St. Paul in their epistles to the first Christians, claim only two titles, those of servants and apostles of Jesus Christ, as being sufficient to prove the excellence of their vocation. St. John Chrysostom agrees with them, this double title being, according to him, more excellent than that of monarch of the whole earth. Now, St. Joseph has many very high titles, and held glorious offices for which he received from God special graces. I shall only allude shortly to some of these privileges.
1. He was the worthy spouse of Our Lady, if indeed any spouse could be worthy of her; for the Holy Trinity in designing him for such an honor, endowed him with all the qualities necessary for bearing that name with dignity and propriety. And as this glorious title is, so to speak, the original source or root from which proceeded all the glories of St. Joseph, St. Matthew considered he could say nothing higher of him than call him Spouse of Mary.
2. He was the supposed father of Jesus Christ, and Our Lady did not hesitate to give him this title; thus when she found the Child Jesus in the temple. she said to Him: "Thy father and I have sought Thee sorrowing."
3. He was the representative of God the Father, Who, in communicating to him the honor of paternity to the Incarnate Word, willed that he should call Him by the name of Son, a name which He alone gives in Heaven to the Uncreated Word. Thus God Who formerly had said He would give His glory to no one, now, by an exceptional favor communicates, in a manner, to a mortal that paternity which is the special glory of the Eternal Father. What is still more, God, according to St. John Damascene and St. Bernard, in giving to Joseph the name of father, gave him also a father's heart----that is, the authority, the solicitude, and the love of a father.
4. Joseph was also the representative of the Holy Ghost, Who confided to him the Virgin Mary, placing His spouse under Joseph's dependence and direction. Great God! what a favor! The Father and the Holy Ghost intrust to him what is most dear to them! To what sublimity of virtue must he have attained to acquit himself worthily of such a charge!
5. Our Lady, in giving him her hand, gave him also her whole heart. Never did a wife love her husband so tenderly, so ardently, nor revere him more profoundly. Mary and Joseph, says St. Bernardin of Siena, were but one heart and soul; they were two in one same mind, one same affection, and each of them was the other's second self, because Our Lady and he were, so to speak, only one person. The heart of Mary with that of Joseph, and the heart of Joseph with that of Mary, who ever could imagine a union so intimate, a grace so great!
6. Joseph was the superior of Jesus and Mary, whose submission to him was so complete as to enrapture the Angels. Those pure spirits tremble in Heaven before the infinite majesty of the great God; what must they have thought when they saw Joseph command the little Jesus as a father, and the Divine Infant disport Himself on the breast of Joseph, like a bee in the bosom of a lily! As for the Queen of the world, as she had vowed, so she rendered to her chaste spouse all possible respect and obedience, never considering him otherwise, says Gerson, than as her lord and master. What a dignity to be the master of that Virgin more noble than the Seraphim!
7. He it was who nourished Jesus and Mary. A true father to that family, he gained their bread by the labor of his hands, and the sweat of his brow. He led them into Egypt, acting in this mystery as the representative of the Most Holy Trinity. What an honor to nourish Him Who nourishes the whole world, to give bread to Him Who covers our fields with plentiful harvests!
8. He is called by the Abbot Rupert Guardian of the Child Jesus. Without an earthly father, his Divine Ward cast Himself into the arms of Joseph, His only protector, defender and support.
9. He was also the treasurer of the Savior, and of Joseph more than of any other may it be said: Blessed is the faithful and wise servant, whom God has established as grand master of His family, to whose hands He has committed all His treasures, the government of all His possessions. What confidence does not this office imply!
10. We do not hesitate to say that Joseph was the Savior of the Savior. Joseph, son of Jacob, was called the Savior of the world, and he was not only the type, in the first place, of Jesus Christ, but also of St. Joseph, who had the honor of preserving the Divine Infant from the fury of Herod. As Our Lord deserves the name of Savior of man, because He preserves man from eternal death, so it is allowable to call St. Joseph Savior of the Savior, because he preserved Him from temporal death. Glorious Saint to whom were entrusted the person of the Incarnate Word, and all the secrets of the Eternal Father! The Angel might himself have carried the Child into Egypt; but not daring to do so, he came as the messenger of Heaven and of God Himself, to Joseph who was chosen for that employment.
11. To these titles add another distinguished title, that of having been the Master of his Master. Jesus was like an apprentice in the workshop of Joseph, who taught him to work as a carpenter, so that everyone said of Jesus: "Is not this the carpenter's son, a carpenter Himself? Have we not often seen Him handling the plane and the chisel, helping His father Joseph?" What must St. Joseph have thought when he saw his Divine apprentice, taking pains at His work----He Who by a single word had created the universe!
12. Joseph was the presumptive heir of Jesus Christ, and of Our Lady, since the father then naturally inherited from his son, and the husband from his wife. What an incomparable advantage!
13. In all orders of things great privileges are attached to being the eldest, the first. The first Apostle, the first Martyr, the first Seraph, the first son of the Patriarchs, all have special rights which belong to no others; therefore I conclude that St. Joseph has singular prerogatives above all other men, for he was the first to contemplate the admirable humanity of Our Lord Jesus, the first to adore Him, the first to touch Him, the first to serve Him, to nourish Him, and to dwell with Him, the first to hear Him speak and to be enlightened by His Divine instructions. He is the first confessor for the faith, since he first suffered for the love of Jesus Christ, forsaking his home and his country to fly with Him; the first Apostle making the Messias known to men, by announcing Him in Egypt; the first man, perhaps, who made profession and vow of virginity, and kept it in the state of marriage; in a word, the first Christian and the first model for the children of the Church. All these distinctions give Joseph. great pre-eminence over all other Saints, and are almost infinite, so that we may apply to him what Jacob said of his eldest son Reuben: "Excelling [his brethren] in gifts, greater in command."
14. Theologians teach that the office of St. Joseph was more exalted than any other in the Church. We do not speak of Our Lady, who is always above all comparison. They acknowledge, it is true, that in the ecclesiastical hierarchy, and in the order of sanctifying grace, the office of the Apostles is the most sublime; but they recognize in the Mother of God, and in St. Joseph, an order, a hierarchy apart, that of the hypostatic union, destined to the immediate service of the person of the Word made flesh, and this second hierarchy is superior in dignity to the first. The Apostles, as we said above, are only the servants of Jesus Christ; Mary and Joseph are His mother and His father.
But shall I be able to relate all that God has done for St. Joseph? No; I plainly confess that there is neither mind, nor pen, nor tongue capable of imagining, writing, or expressing the grandeur and incomparable prerogatives of this spouse of the Virgin, this father of Jesus Christ, this governor of both! And yet, speak I must! Pardon, O great Saint, my unpardonable boldness! Yet, if your holy spouse, Our Lady, will deign to inspire me with a part of what she knows, if she will give fluency to my pen and warmth to my heart, I shall be able to say enough to content your pious clients, and edify your faithful servants.

ACUSHNET — With the help of funding from the Community Preservation Committee, Pope Park has undergone some recent changes that should be completed by the end of the month.
The changes include a new state-of-the-art security system with nine cameras and several new security lights, as well as a new antennae system that enables the park to be a wireless hotspot. The changes include the areas surrounding the ball fields as well as near the playground.
The security lights, which are 78 watts each and long lasting, replace lights that were 250 and 400 watts each. According to Mike Desrosiers of the Park Board, they will be four to five times cheaper to run than the preexisting lights.
The feed from the nine cameras will be transmitted to a live feed at the new police station once it is built. The cameras are enabled with pan, tilt and zoom technology that can be controlled by the police dispatcher.
The purpose of the new security system is to deter vandalism.
According to Mr. Desrosiers, the project started about a year ago and the new system has already been effective. "Between the lighting and the cameras, the areas we are trying to protect and the equipment (are visible). It's working," he said.
"Now, if we find something that is damaged, we can get restitution for it. We don't have a big budget."
Mr. Desrosiers said they will continue to upgrade the park in the near future, with renovations to take place at some of the baseball fields including some new backstops. Also, a veteran's memorial is planned for the top of the park near Main Street.
Over the past few years, new fields have been built and two new basketball courts have been put in. Also, a walking path was created that encompasses the park.
In addition, the playground was renovated and renovations have been made to structures within the park, all with help from the CPC.
"It's changed a lot," said Mr. Desrosiers of the park. "It's come back to life. A lot of people put in a lot of work and the town backed it up. It's worth it."
Mr. Desrosiers commended the hard work of Park Supervisor Don Camara and his crew. "He stays on top of it," he said. "He's one of the people that was heavily involved."

As Congress looks toward meaningful immigration reform, we must take care not to neglect one of the most heartbreaking problems within the current, broken system: what happens to children when their parents or guardians are deported.
Currently, according to the Applied Research Center's report "Shattered Families," at least 5,000 children of immigrants live in U.S. foster care because their parents were detained or deported. If the current trends hold, the center estimates, 15,000 more children over the next five years will be ripped away from their mothers and fathers as a result of federal immigration enforcement actions.
In the wake of immigration arrests, law enforcers often don't allow detained immigrant parents the opportunity to make proper arrangements for the care of their children. Kids can come home from school, only to find their mothers and fathers gone.
When a child enters the foster-care system, detained parents often have little input into plans for their children's care, since the hearings and proceedings that determine those arrangements tend to take place far from the detention centers where immigrants are held. Once parents have been taken into custody or deported, caseworkers report, it is difficult for children to maintain contact with them.

Ask most engineers about the possibility of running their CAD or CAE programs in the cloud and you're likely to get a blank stare or an earful about why the software delivery model poses problems. Critical design IP (intellectual property) isn't safe in the cloud, they contend, or they question whether graphics-intensive applications like CAD can run optimally when solely dependent on Internet bandwidth. Many are quick to shrug off cloud computing as just another passing technology fad.
Yet one look at all the vendor activity this past year and you might be hard-pressed to write off the cloud as a viable platform for design capabilities going forward. Major players in this space, from Autodesk to Dassault Systemes, to a handful of smaller companies like Arena Solutions, have stepped up to the plate with serious strategies around the cloud to deliver CAD, PLM, and CAE offerings. While many of the services are still clearly evolving and some still semi-experimental, there seems to be no question that the chieftains of 3D design tools, not to mention, a new generation of up-and-comers, see real potential in leveraging the cost benefits, scalable computing horsepower, and ease of collaboration capabilities of the cloud to push product development to the next level.
Outside of the engineering world, the cloud has already gained significant traction. Companies have moved many of their core enterprise systems around finance, sales, marketing, and even HR to the cloud via software-as-a-service platforms, and many of those same engineer skeptics are already working with cloud-based tools without necessarily knowing it.
"Most engineers today don't spend eight hours a day doing pure engineering work, they are in CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems, they are in supplier systems, they are doing collaboration, and believe it or not, those systems are all in the cloud," said Brenda Discher, Autodesk's vice president, manufacturing strategy and marketing. The rub is those same users harbor concerns about the cloud for core engineering design work, and Discher said while some concerns may be valid, it doesn't mean the technology isn't a real enabler for other aspects of the product development workflow. She explained:
- It's not about moving manufacturing or design to the cloud, it's about moving the right processes to the cloud. We are now just learning about the different industries and different development phases that really fit nicely with the needs of customers and capabilities of the cloud.
Cloud-based collaboration
So while heavy-duty 3D CAD modeling may not make sense in the cloud just yet, experts argue that a number of tried-and-true engineering tools and practices do. Leveraging the infinite and highly scalable compute power of the cloud lends itself to simulation, and Autodesk, as well as others, are releasing services around plastics and CFD simulation that enable companies to tap the cloud to run huge simulations that they otherwise couldn't run or could run only with an arsenal of dedicated, expensive compute horsepower. Beyond the ability to handle larger and more complex problems, simulation in the cloud also means engineers can run more studies simultaneously -- a change in design workflow that can lead to better exploration of different design variations and optimization of products.

UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIF. - May 27, 2009 - NBC announced today that Damien Fahey and Myleene Klass will serve as co-hosts for its new, groundbreaking, live summer television event "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!" that kicks off on Monday, June 1 with a two-hour special from 8-10 p.m. (ET).
Fahey is known to audiences as the host of MTV's "Total Request Live ("TRL") where many of today's A-list celebrities and musicians personally requested him for interviews. A talented and dedicated broadcaster, Fahey has hosted numerous radio and television shows including "Live! With Regis & Kelly," where he has been called upon as a recurring host. Recruited by MTV for its "Beach House" segments, he was quickly promoted to "TRL" host in 2002, where he held the distinction of being the only veejay to simultaneously host and write for the show.
Myleene Klass is one of the biggest stars in the United Kingdom and was a participant herself in the 2006 version of "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!" that propelled her to a successful career where she was "Queen of the Jungle" and the top searched-for celebrity in the world by the United Kingdom Internet users. The multi-talented Klass is a television host, entertainer and musician. In 2001, she was chosen from thousands of singing hopefuls to become one of five members of the reality pop band Hear'Say, winners of the singing competition show "Popstars," that went on to sell two million CDs. A talented pianist, she signed a solo recording deal and reached #1 in the classical charts. Klass hosts "Weekend Breakfast" on Classic FM and writes monthly features in Classic FM Magazine, titled "Myleene's Hot Property and Prima Baby." Additionally, she also hosts her own monthly movie review show on CNN International, where she interviews some of today's hottest stars. In 2008, she released her first book, "My Bump and Me," which went straight to the Top-10 bestseller charts.
"We are so fortunate to have both of these incredible talents lend their wit, wisdom and experience to the show and they will serve as the prefect compliment to our celebrity participants" said Jayson Dinsmore, executive producer of "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!"
Based on the hit UK series, "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!" is the ultimate
"Swiss Family Robinson" as the celebrities will be dropped into the heart of the Costa Rican jungle to face fun and comedic challenges designed to test their survival skills. America is the puppet master, controlling their favorite celebrities by putting them into challenges and tasks to win food, supplies and luxury items. In each episode, friendships will be tested, hilarity is expected and viewers will decide which celebrities stay or go. The last remaining star will be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle, winning a substantial cash prize for their favorite charity.
In a unique scheduling move, following the two-hour premiere on June 1, "I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!" will air over four weeks in June from 8-9 p.m. (ET). For three weeks, the show will air Mondays through Thursdays. During the fourth week of June, the series will be telecast Monday through Wednesday, with the finale being telecast on Wednesday, June 24.
Additionally, each Sunday, beginning June 7, MTV will air a marathon of the week's episodes including never-before-seen footage and commentary from cast members in real time, providing an enhanced viewing experience for diehard fans.
The series is produced by ITV Studios, Inc. (formerly known as Granada America.) Jayson Dinsmore, Chris Brogden and Natalka Znak serve as executive producers; Michael Brooks, Tamsin Dodgson and Rachel Watson are the co-executive producers.

The Phillies announced today that they have acquired righthander Roy Halladay from the Blue Jays, and in a separate trade sent lefthander Cliff Lee to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for minor league outfielder Tyson Gillies and right-handers Phillipe Aumont and Juan Ramirez, according to general manager Ruben Amaro Jr.
The Phillies traded minor league righthander Kyle Drabek, outfielder Michael Taylor and catcher Travis d'Arnaud to the Blue Jays. Halladay agreed to a 3-year, $60 million contract extension with the Phillies that includes a $20 million vesting option for a fourth season.
"Without question, Roy is one of the top pitchers in the game today," Amaro said. "He has the talent, professionalism and makeup that embody what we look for in players and we're very happy to have him in a Phillies uniform for at least the next four seasons."
"Without question, Roy is one of the top pitchers in the game today," Amaro said. "He has the talent, professionalism and makeup that embody what we look for in players and we're very happy to have him in a Phillies uniform for at least the next four seasons."
Halladay, 32, went 17-10 with a 2.79 ERA and nine complete games in 32 starts for Toronto in 2009. He led the American League in complete games and shutouts (4), finished second in innings (239.0), third in ERA, tied for fourth in wins and quality starts (22), and was fifth in strikeouts (208).
"Roy is known as the best pitcher in baseball and will have instant respect," manager Charlie Manuel. said "He's a number one, a blue chipper and I expect him to stabilize our pitching staff. Roy brings a great work ethic and tremendous character and he'll have a big presence in our clubhouse. As an organization, our goal remains the same – to get back to the World Series and win it again."
Lee was acquired by the Phillies from the Cleveland Indians on July 29, along with outfielder Ben Francisco, in exchange for four minor league players. Lee was 7-4 with a 3.39 ERA in 12 starts for the club. In the 2009 playoffs, the 31-year-old went 4-0 with a 1.56 ERA in five starts.
"It's never easy trading a player of Cliff's caliber, but we felt it was the right move to make at this time," Amaro said. "We've acquired three players that we think have big upsides and will strengthen our player development system."
Gillies, 21, played last season with Class A High Desert where he hit .341 with nine home runs, 42 RBI and 44 stolen bases in 124 games.
Aumont, 20, was 2-6 with 16 saves and a 3.88 ERA in 44 combined games between High Desert and Class AA West Tennessee last season.
Ramirez, 21, was 8-10 with a 5.12 ERA and one complete game in 28 games (27 starts) for High Desert in 2009.
"We are very excited to have Cliff Lee on board in the Seattle organization," Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik said in a statement. "It goes without saying what a quality pitcher and competitor he is and what he will mean to our ballclub and organization.
"I also want to congratulate Philadelphia and Toronto on how this whole deal was handled. We gave up three very nice prospects to Philadelphia. I think they will be a nice piece of the Phillies' future, and I want to thank Tyson, Phillippe and JC, and let them know we'll be rooting for them as they progress toward the majors. It was not an easy decision for us, but we could not pass up the opportunity to add a pitcher of Lee's ability to our major-league team."

My mother just called... LO is 6 months old, I have been pumping since he was 7 weeks. She went to heat up a bottle today (pumped yesterday) and baby refused it. She noticed that it was "curdling". She said it smells bad. She tried another bottle, same results and baby will not eat it. She sent me pics and it looks like the fatty part of the milk is curdling. So am I dealing with lipase here? I so hope not, but it really sounds like it.
This milk was between 12-24 hours old. I have some frozen too, but so far that seems ok although LO does not care for frozen milk. He will eat it, but you can tell her prefers not to.
Help ladies!!

But in terms of scenic beauty and variety in the terrain you drive through, it is surely a notch above. You also get well acclimatized by the time you reach Leh, so this is indeed a great alternative for those who find the drive from Manali a bit too rugged or strenuous.

Can Nutrition Help Resolve Cervical Myelopathy?
By David Seaman, DC, MS, DABCN
While cervical myelopathy is not a common clinical encounter, it is the most common cause of spinal-cord dysfunction in people over 55 years of age.1 The natural history is one of a progressive nature that may lead to the need for surgical decompression.However, the clinical course is variable and requires a case-by-case approach. Myelopathy caused by disc herniation is more common in middle-aged individuals, while senior citizens typically present with spondylotic myelopathy.
Symptoms of cervical myelopathy can vary substantially from patient to patient. Some patients may have atypical trunk or lower extremity pain, while others will predominately express low-extremity incoordination and a wide-based gait. Upper-extremity weakness and incoordination may also be present. Paresthesias may be felt in the upper and or lower extremity. Neck flexion is the classic position that leads to electric shock sensations. Hyperreflexia and the extensor toe sign are also characteristic. The American Academy of Family Physicians has an excellent review article available online.1
The suggestion that nutrition may impact the expression of myelopathy may at first seem unreasonable, as myelopathy is described as a mechanically compressive condition, which is true. However, we need to also embrace that human mechanics is really about biomechanics, which includes biochemistry. For example, concerning joint motion, a movement is initiated first by biochemical nerve impulses that lead to biochemically-driven muscle contraction leading to joint movement, which is also associated with changes in muscular, articular and bone biochemistry.
DCs are often guilty of forgetting that biochemistry is part of biomechanics. Even the emerging field of mechanotransduction is often misperceived to be about mechanics, when in fact, the field is actually about how mechanical forces are transduced or transformed into biochemistry;2 without the biochemistry, there would be no communication among cells. This same issue must be considered in the context of cervical myelopathy.
A rat model of spondylotic myelopathy was recently utilized to compare outcomes of two diets: a sugar and fat dietary pattern, referred to as the Western diet, and a standard diet supplemented with curcumin from turmeric and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which is an omega-3 fatty acid found in fish and fish oil supplements.3 The respective diets were instituted after surgery and the rats were allowed to eat ad libitum for six weeks, after which they were euthanized.
At the end of the study period, the curcumin-DHA rats had significantly better gait function compared to those eating sugar and fat. Spinal-cord analysis revealed that the curcumin-DHA-supplemented rats had less lipid peroxidation and thus, less spinal-cord inflammation compared to the sugar- and fat-fed rats. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) also was less in the sugar- and fat-fed rats. In contrast, BDNF levels in the curcumin-DHA rats was slightly greater than controls. Normal BDNF levels are very important for axonal regeneration, promoting neuronal survival, regulating synapse formation and stabilization, increasing dendritic complexity, and enhancing synaptic efficacy.3
Most readers are well-aware that fish oil and botanicals, such as ginger, turmeric and boswellia, have anti-inflammatory functions. These beneficial effects appear to occur throughout the body, not just the nervous system.5-6 Vitamin D also provides us with nervous-system and body-wide benefits.7
The message to embrace here is not that curcumin and fish oil offer a cure for cervical myelopathy or nerve injury. Rather, the message is that we should all adhere to anti-inflammatory nutritional habits before and after injury, which gives us the best chance for a positive clinical response. All of us should consider (and we should recommend to our patients) eating an anti-inflammatory diet and routinely supplementing with fish oil, anti-inflammatory botanicals and vitamin D.
