A) Someone's got a sense of humor: "The primary outcome was measured using the modified Sinonasal Outcome Test-16 (SNOT-16), a validated and responsive measure."
B) They did no testing whatsoever to ensure the sinus infections _were_ bacterial - but they apparently usually are, and are usually diagnosed as such symptomatically instead of by culture (in other words, they followed normal practices in deciding who to give antibiotics to).
C) They did no testing to see if resistant bacteria could be isolated from any patients.
Putting B and C together...clearly the medical community is overprescribing antibiotics, but there may be some question of whether it's resistant bacterial infections or poor diagnosis of bacterial vs. viral infections.
I suggest the extra expense of tin (Sn) foil, instead of aluminum foil, for your hat. It will cost a lot more but it's hypoallergenic! You can also try a Mylar hat for warmth if you're in the Northern Hemisphere and heading in to winter.
I see dollar $ign$ used to replace s when money is being talked about (as a joke) - does the pound symbol get used for L in the UK? Obviously you didn't, but I'm curious...
I don't much care to be tagged on Facebook, etc, but from TFS:
He says getting constant notes about being 'tagged' in online photos
At least he knows he's getting tagged - the tags you don't know about are a lot worse. The ones you know about you can delete or plan for. The privacy invasion you are unaware of is worse than the one you know about.
The theory I heard is that the movie companies are pushing for per-subscriber license fees. Netflix owes a small amount of money per streaming subscriber. By splitting out the DVD service, they could take a lot of people out of the column for streaming subscribers, and thus owe less fees.
I'm a lot more mercenary in my habits - I wait for a sale and go in with a list of games I'll take, then see what the store actually has in stock, then get whatever's on both lists. I'd have time to pre-research the issue. You are correct, my idea won't help impulse buyers (like yourself?) at all.
Heck if I had to pay $10 for each and every game I bought used I'd be paying $1500 to play online long enough to realize that no one plays the games anymore (with the exception of maybe a half dozen of them). But of course I can't can't know that until I've paid the $10.
One way to gauge this ahead of time is to just check the forums for a big gaming site like GameFAQs - if the board for the game is dead, then the online will be dead. (This is especially true if half the recent topics are requests for partners for boosting achievements). FWIW, I also dislike the online pass phenomenon.
Gravity is a "law" because it is much older than the current nomenclature standards, and was already called a law when science settled on theory/theorem. If it had been formalized in the late 1800s instead of 200 years earlier, it would be called the Theory of Gravity or Gravitational Theorem instead. It's just a language thing; it doesn't reflect anything about the science.
The only thing more horrific than a horrific monster is HALF a horrific monster climbing out of the ocean and destroying Tokyo. I guess they can't call it God so it would just be Zilla, a pair of giant stomping legs and a tail, with nothing above the pelvis...
The most important thing would be, what wavelengths does the material you're cutting absorb? Whatever it absorbs best will heat it for cutting the fastest, I would think.
The blue is a greater risk for damaging your eyes, both because the photons are higher energy and because your eye sees it less well so you are less likely to say "damn, that's bright" and look away. For vision, the higher-energy photons matter more than absorption, because the damage done to your eyes is not so much heating damage as bleaching damage - chromophores (and DNA and stuff) in your eyes gets destroyed at the micro level, not the macro level.
This actually brings up an interesting thought for me. I wonder how well it would go over that, if you saved and walked away from a game, when you came back, it gave you one of those TV-esque 'Previously, on [game]...' intros (skip-able, of course).
There have already been a lot of replies, but I didn't see this one: the most recent Layton game (Unwound Future) on the DS does this.

It's dated 2/15/12 - I would guess you don't have it yet, as opposed to tossing it already (?)

http://jama.ama-assn.org/content/307/7/685.short I can't tell if it's paywalled or not - it appears to be. Pubmed hasn't indexed it yet (not that they offer free articles from JAMA anyway).
The game you are thinking about is a Nintendo 3DS game, Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resident_Evil:_The_Mercenaries_3D
in one instance I had to let the TSA agent doing the search know that they skipped part of the procedure (I've done it THAT many times!)
I also always get chosen for the cancer box scanner, and always opt-out. It usually goes like so:
ME: stands on marker, puts arms out
HIM: "Sir, you don't have to put your arms out."
ME: puts arms down.
HIM: "Sir, I'm going to pat you down, blah blah blah, can you put your arms up?"
ME: rolls eyes, puts arms back up...
_force_fully? What a subtle pun...

IMHO, Americo Vespuccio (the man who realized that those lands were not Asia) should deserve more credit.
Well, it is called America, not Columbia...
Eternal beta worked well for GMail... (although frankly I agree with you)

This checklist is longer than when I last saw it. Is there a centrally-managed spot for the meme?

I haven't RTFA, but perhaps it runs on grounds instead of beans? There's certainly lots of those laying around...
The lawyer shot first.
Not to be crude, but the lawyer _shat_ first, if I remember the scene correctly...

Your second link lost its number and goes to the main page. I couldn't figure out what today's comic about stud finders had to do with raptors...

I must be new here, I thought it was traditional to at least RTFS, if not RTFA.

How many languages did he curse in?
