Americans have overwhelmingly embraced complementary and alternative therapies. Although the primary purpose of this study was to refine a questionnaire on complementary and alternative therapy use by older adults, the findings of this pilot study identified knowledge and use of complementary and alternative therapies in a convenience sample of 60 older adults, 54 to 92 years of age from three ethnically diverse senior centers. There were no significant differences in number of therapies used among the three sites. King et al24 and Pettigrew and King25 found prayer to be the most frequently used therapy in their study of nurses, and Dunn and Horgas26 reported that 84% of older adults used prayer as an alternative therapy for coping with stress.

"Worldviews: Maya Ceramics from the Palmer Collection" is on display at the Museum of Anthropology through January 31. Curated by MOA Director Stephen L. Whittington, the exhibit contains 35 ceramic objects, nine jade objects and one stone object---some of them internationally known and featured in recent books on the Maya. I will soon begin the process of creating an advisory board, whose members I envision will act as advisors for creating a strategic plan and as advocates and ambassadors for the Museum. Are you or your spouse employed by a matching gift company? Director Stephen Whittington presented a public lecture titled "At the entrance to Xibalbá: illness, trauma, and death among the Maya" at the Mint Museum of Art in Charlotte on October 9.

CAM, patients, cancer, medicine, reasons, breast cancer, physicians, health, patterns, CAM therapy, information sources, interviews, common, herbal medicine.

Background: This study sought to describe the pattern of complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) use among a group of patients with advanced breast cancer, to examine the main reasons for their CAM use, to identify patient's information sources and their communication pattern with their physicians. The most commonly cited primary reason for CAM use was to boost the immune system, the second, to treat cancer; however these reasons varied depending on specific CAM therapy. First, we found that the vast majority (73%) of our patients use CAM, a finding in line with previous estimates [7,8]. Unlike previous studies [10--12], we found that most patients using ingested CAM products (herbs, special diets, supplements, and folk remedies) discussed this use with their medical providers.

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the potential for motor therapies to selectively change the brain to aid in recovery from brain injuries or sport injuries involving tendon and muscle. Which one of these individuals would best reacquire their original skill following a softtissue injury resulting in some period of disuse? Little activation is shown anteriorly for both right hand and left hand movements however there is still activation in primary motor areas. Activation area differences associated with ideation may be an important consideration for directing behavioural recovery. "Reorganization of hand representations in the ventral premotor cortex before and after a focal ischemic infarct in the hand representation of primary motor cortex.

eAlthough the four aims and objectives of the Society are usually included in the introductory speech, they can still sometimes be a bit of a mystery, Susanna Wreth has an idea about one of them Committee, or ICC, the members of which --Andrew Kirby and Mike Usher -- were appointed by Master Moy personally, to look after all matters relating to the Tai Chi form itself, the content of classes, and the accreditation of instructors. After instructing at many intensives and workshops in Scotland, Andrew Hung came down to Colchester in May to instruct about 50 people in the subtle art of Hsing-I.
