Recession Fears Rattle Market
Stocks tumbled Tuesday after an unexpectedly sharp contraction in the U.S. services sector and comments from one Federal Reserve official that the economy could slip into a "mild recession."
Richmond Fed Bank President Jeffrey Lacker said he sees "thepossibility of a mild recession, similar to the last two we have experienced — in other words, shallow and with a short recovery." Lacker said further rate cuts may be necessary, but aren't a sure thing.
Within the first five minutes of trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down about 150 points and just kept going. In intraday trading, the Dow was off more than 12 percent from the closing high of 14164.53 set on Oct. 9. The S&P 500 index and the Nasdaq also declined.
The Institute for Supply Management reported Tuesday that itsnonmanufacturing index, which measures the performance of the U.S. services sector, plunged to 41.9 from 54.4 in December. Economists had expected a more modest drop to 53. A reading below 50 indicates contraction. This was the lowest reading since October 2001, when the Sept. 11 attacks caused the U.S. to slip into a mild recession.
The services sector represents about 80 percent of U.S. economic activity, including businesses such as banks, airlines, hotels and restaurants. The ISM report underscored concerns that the fallout from the housing-sector slump is spreading to the broader economy.
"Nonmanufacturing has been the strength of the economy," Vince Farrell, managing director of Scotsman Capital, said on CNBC Tuesday, "and now you bring that under question." He pointed out that it's only one month, so it's not a complete disaster, but it is a concern because the service sector has been the strength of the job market.
The market was, for sure, rattled by the Fed's use of the "R" word. Still, analysts are split over whether we're in a recession, heading toward a recession or avoiding a recession altogether.
"The recession has indeed arrived," Jane Caron, chief economic strategist at Dwight Asset Management in Burlington, Vermont, told Reuters.
"I'm still in the minority … I don't think we're going to have a recession," said Matthew Tuttle, president of Tuttle Wealth Management. "I'm just seeing too much … strengthening of emerging markets."
"I have a lot of faith in the economy," Tuttle said.
European shares continued to slide for a second day after a report that service-sector growth in the euro zone fell to a four-and-a-half-year low in January, fueling concerns that the U.S. slowdown may be spilling over into Europe.
Spain in particular took a hit, recording the its slowest ever rate of growth in the service sector. "The sky is tumbling in on the Spanish services sector," Bear Stearns analysts wrote in a note.
Asian stocks also extended their losing streak amid global-recession fears.
Another Downgrade for Financials
Goldman Sachs shares slipped after Oppenheimer downgraded its rating on the stock to "perform" from "outperform," citing valuation and other factors.
Downgrades on credit-card providers such as American Express and a slew of other financials dragged down the market a day earlier. Analysts are growing increasingly concerned that consumers are falling behind on their loan payments.
Technology stocks, which are seen as particularly vulnerable to a downturn in business and consumer spending, were mostly lower Tuesday.
Apple fared better than some of its tech counterparts after the company introduced new models iPods and iPhones with double the memory of previous versions.
Google advanced amid rumors that Yahoo might outsource its search function to Google and an announcement that Google is adding more business email security and storage products. The products build on technology acquired when Google bought email specialist Postini last year for $625 million, AP reported. The products are designed to weed out junk mail and viruses and prevent security breaches.
Some of the Google gain could be bargain hunting; the Internet giant is down 33 percent from its closing high of $741.79 on Nov. 6. For those of you keeping score, the stock is still up nearly 500% from its IPO price of $85.
Bespoke Investment Group noted on its blog (http://bespokeinvest.typepad.com/) that Google stock looks similar to Microsoft did when it was at the same stage in its corporate lifespan. After 871 trading days, Microsoft was up 458 percent; Internet giants Amazon and eBay were up nearly 1800 percent and Yahoo was up nearly 8,000 percent, the analysts noted.
"Twenty years from now, Google can only hope that it is up 43,000 percent from its IPO price like Microsoft currently is," Bespoke said.
Not to be outdone, Microsoft said it sent a major package of upgrades and fixes for Windows Vista to manufacturers for mass production on Monday.
Analysts Raise Price Target on Yahoo
Yahoo shares were flat after Banc of America cut its rating on the stock to "neutral" from "buy" and raised its price target to $31 from $26. UBS and Citigroup also raised their targets on the stock, to $34 and $31, respectively.
Shares of business-software maker Oracledeclined as did blue chips Microsoft and Intel. Telecom-service providers AT&T and Verizon were among the biggest drags on the Dow.
In earnings news, oil giant BP reported that fourth-quarter replacement cost (RC), which strips out unrealized gains on fuel inventories, fell 24 percent to $2.97 billion. But BP's shares gained 1.8 percent in premarket trading after the company said it favored returning money to shareholders via dividends, rather than share buybacks.
The parent of the New York Stock Exchange, trans-Atlantic NYSE-Euronext , said its profit rose to $156 million, or 59 cents a share, compared with net income of $45 million, or 29 cents per share in the year-ago period — before the merger with Euronext.
Whirlpool shares jumped after the appliance maker reported a 72 percent surge in its fourth-quarter profit, helped by its Maytag acquisition and the weak dollar. The company said that all of its branded products gained market share during the quarter.
Avon also advanced after the cosmetics company reported its profit dropped 30% in the quarter but beat analysts' estimates.
News Corp. , which closed a $5.6 billion deal to buy Wall Street Journal publisher Dow Jones in December, said quarterly profit rose just 1.2 percent to $832 million from $822 million a year earlier, in line with expectations. The company said the economic slowdown is not hurting its business. And, this quarter is on track for the media giant, which said it received $250 million in ad revenue for the Super Bowl, its best ever.
On Tuesday, News Corp. owner Rupert Murdoch said he won't make a bid for Yahoo.
Politics will take center stage on this Super Tuesday, as more than 20 states hold primaries for the presidential election.

I thought I would pop in and share a few photos from this weekend's BrickFete - a Lego fan event in Toronto showcasing custom Lego builds.
A clever drive-in theatre, below.
Hope's favourite part of the show was the free build brick table.
I loved this house based on the movie Up.
There were a number of the builds based on Canadian scenes.
And of course, there were plenty of builds for the Star Wars enthusiast.
I hope you are enjoying the summer, I intend to resume more regular posting and blog reading later this summer after work deadlines ease up.

coming through the haze
Outfit Details:
leopard blouse – thrifted
vintage belt, rings and necklace – gifts from my mom
skirt – bought it at Threadsence but they seem to be sold out:(
Jeffrey Campbell peep toe heels – Century 21glasses – Ray-Ban Foley + Corinna boxy tote – c/o Foley + Corinnalipstick – MAC Viva Glam (every penny goes to MAC AIDS Fund)
I've always loved leopard print but I've been wearing (and buying) even more of it, lately. I can just see Kim gagging a little, because she hates leopard print – and all animal prints. She thinks they're tacky. But this is coming from a girl who loves her glitter, rainbows and tiaras all at once and in large quantities, so we'll call it a wash. Tacky one and tacky two; I guess that's why we make such great friends.
Leopard print always reminds me of Peggy Bundy, in the best way. I always loved that lady. I love her even more on Sons of Anarchy. Who knew Peggy Bundy would turn out to be so bad-a**?!
p.s. Whit from Britt+Whit recently wore the same skirt. See how she styled hers here!

Bip Bippadotta is a character on Sesame Street who is the counterpart of Mahna Mahna from The Muppet Show. Although both characters are most well known for performing the nonsense song "Mahna Mahna," they have always been portrayed by different puppets and considered separate entities.
When "Mahna Mahna" is performed on Sesame Street and related albums, the song is actually called "Mah Na Mah Na," with lead vocals provided by a character also called Mah Na Mah Na. This character, a Reddish-Magenta Little Anything Muppet, was the prototype for Bip Bippadotta. Unlike his counterpart Mahna Mahna, who premiered on The Ed Sullivan Show at roughly the same time, Mah Na Mah Na wore a sweater, and had dark brown hair and standard Muppet eyes. His back-up vocals were provided by Green and Purple Anything Muppet girls, who sing "pa tee, pa tee pee" instead of "do doo, do doo doo" like the Snowths who usually accompany Mahna Mahna.
The puppet would go through many evolutions and eventually look much more like Mahna Mahna than this first incarnation. First, he was changed to a Pumpkin Orange Little Anything Muppet with orange hair and a furry green tunic in the 1970s. It was at this point, on Every Body's Record, that he was first christened Bip Bippadotta. He would later be depicted as a Lavender Anything Muppet. In the 1980s, Bip was given sunglasses to cover his eyes, as opposed to the blinking eye feature on Mahna Mahna.
Unlike Mahna Mahna, who was almost exclusively associated with the song after which he is named (or perhaps the name after which he is songed), Bip Bippadotta has performed a variety of songs on Sesame Street, including "Fat Cat," "Everybody's Song," "Air," "Scratch My Back," "None Some All," and "Opposite Stuff."
Bip later made a comeback appearance in a 2009 episode, where he appears briefly in the laundromat during the race and says "Mahna Mahna".

RIP George Jones, and thank you for the music
George Jones created memories.
From his first No. 1, "White Lightning," to his singles with Tammy Wynette, CNN commenters recall Jones' music as a soundtrack for the good and the bad times.
As the world learns of the country legend's death at 81 on Friday, those memories his music helped build are standing out for fans.
"Spent months holed up in a one bedroom apartment with 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' on repeat when my first marriage fell apart," said commenter Michael Davis.
"He was such a part of my growing up (my mom loved his music)," added Lissa. "This makes my heart a bit heavy today."
Commenter Duane A. Donecker, too, has "great memories of my family doing things together with [Jones'] music in the background ... Your music will never die."
"George Jones was such a part of my childhood," said Txgal1963. "My mom and dad listened to his music on the eight-track tape player in our station wagon. Rest in peace, George Jones! I know what I'll be playing on Pandora today!"
That reader wasn't alone, as many others chimed in to say that they'll be remembering Jones through the sounds created throughout his influential career.
For many country listeners, Jones personified what the genre is all about.
"Not American. Didn't grow up in America. Just came here from England about 7 years ago," said commenter Colin J. Morgan. "When I wanted to learn about country music (such an American thing!), this man was on the top of every single list new friends gave me, when it came to whom I should start listening to first. Fantastic voice full of raw emotion. RIP."
As commenter Bobby Williston said, "No one's gonna fill his shoes."

The fraternity of fly fishers
Since 1997
Thanks for the post reply. Was it you who ,when I mentioned Dotson's in Franklin TN, you directed me to another iconic restaurant somewhere in "the hills" It may have been Unc Jesse but .???. In any case, I'm in Atlanta now on way to Florida and on the way back would love to stop at THAT restaurant. Dotson's UNFORTUNATELY was forced to close after almost 60 yrs. SHAME.
Stay well.
It is Kaboom 1. I got to meet him in September on the St. Joe River in Idaho. Thanks.
Still raining ....
Nope. No fishin' this past week. Sooooo much rain, you can't get near the pond! Did the fly tying thing at BP. Getting tired of all the rain ... but, will wish later this summer that we had some.
That was exactly the response I had hoped to achieve. I hope HRH saw It.
darned mispost...

Hello! This is my first post here at Replicated Typo and I thought I'd start with reposting a slightly modified version of a three-part series on the evolution of the human mind that I did last year over at my blog Shared Symbolic Storage.
So in this and my next posts I will have a look at how human cognition evolved from the perspective of cognitive science, especially 'evolutionary linguistics,' comparative psychology and developmental psychology.
In this post I'll focus on the evolution of the human brain.
Human Evolution
We are evolved primates. (As are all other primates of course. So maybe it is better to say that we, like all other primates, are evolved beings with a unique set of specializations, adaptations and features. )
In our lineage, we share a common ancestor with orangutans (about 15 million years ago (mya)), gorillas (about 10mya), and most recently, chimpanzees and bonobos (5 to 7 mya). We not only share a significant amount of DNA with our primate cousins, but also major anatomical features (Gazzaniga 2008: 51f., Lewin 2005: 61) These include, for example, our basic skeletal anatomy, our facial muscles, or our fingernails (Lewin 2005: 218ff.).
What most distinguishes us as humans on an anatomical level are our bizarre hair distribution, our upright posture and the skeletal modifications necessary for it, including a propensity for endurance running, our opposable thumbs, fat deposits that are unusually extensive (Preuss 2004: 5), and an intestinal tract only 60% the size expected of primates our size (Gibbons 2007: 1558).
Finally, there is also a distinguishing feature that is a much more remarkable violation of expectations – a brain three times the size expected of a primate our size. This is all the more interesting as primates are already twice as encephalized as other mammals (Lewin 2005: 217). A direct comparison shows this difference in numbers: Whereas human brains have an average volume of 1251.8 cubic centimetres and weigh about 1300 gram, the brains of the other great apes only have an average volume of 316.7 cubic centimetres and weigh between 350-500 gram (Rilling 2006: 66, Preuss 2004: 8). In a human brain, there are approximately a hundred billion neurons, each of which is connected to about one thousand other neurons, comprising about one hundred trillion synaptic connections (Gazzaniga 2008: 291). If you would count all the connections in the napkin-sized cortex alone, you'd only be finished after 32 million years (Edelman 1992: 17).
Expensive Tissue
The human brain is also extremely "expensive tissue" (Aiello & Wheeler 1995): Although it only accounts for 2% of an adult's body weight, it accounts for 20-25% of an adult's resting oxygen and energy intake (Attwell & Laughlin 2001: 1143). In early life, the brain even makes up for up 60-70% of the body's total energy requirements. A chimpanzee's brain, in comparison, only consumes about 8-9% of its resting metabolism (Aiello & Wells 2002: 330). The human brain's energy demands are about 8 to 10 times higher than those of skeletal muscles (Dunbar & Shultz 2007: 1344), and, in terms of energy consumption, it is equal to the rate of energy consumed by leg muscles of a marathon runner when running (Attwell & Laughlin 2001: 1143). All in all, its consumption rate is only topped by the energy intake of the heart (Dunbar & Shultz 2007: 1344).
Consequently, if we want to understand the evolutionary trajectory that led to human cognition there is the problem that
"because the cost of maintaining a large brain is so great, it is intrinsically unlikely that large brains will evolve merely because they can. Large brains will evolve only when the selection factor in their favour is sufficient to overcome the steep cost gradient" (Dunbar 1998: 179).
This is especially important for people who want to come up with an "adaptive story" of how our brain got so big: they have to come up with a strong enough selection pressure operative in the Pleistocene "environment of evolutionary adaptedness" that would have allowed such "expensive tissue" to evolve in the first place (Bickerton 2009: 165f.).
What About the Brain is Uniquely Human?
If we look to the brain for possible hints, we first find that presently, there is "no good evidence that humans do, in fact, possess uniquely human cortical areas" (although the jury is still out) (Preuss 2004: 9). In addition, we find that there are functions specific to humans which are represented in areas homologous to areas of other primates. Instead, it seems that in the course of human evolution some of the areas of the brain expanded disproportionally, "especially higher-order cortical areas, including the prefrontal cortex" (Preuss 2004: 9, Deacon 1998: 435-438). This means that humans are not simply 'better' at thinking than other animals, but that they think differently (Preuss 2004: 7). The expansion and apparent specializations of only certain kinds of neuronal areas could indicate a qualitative shift in neuronal activity brought about by re-organization of existing features, leading to a wholly different style of cognition (Deacon 1998: 435-438 Rilling 2006: 75).
This scenario squares well with what we know about the way evolution works, namely that it always has to work with the raw materials that are available, and constantly co-opts and tinkers with existing structures, at times producing haphazard, cobbled-together, but functional results (Gould & Lewontin 1979, Gould & Vrba 1982). Given the relatively short time span for the evolution of the "most complex structure in the know universe", as it is sometimes referred to, we have to acknowledge how preciously little time the evolutionary process had for 'debugging.' It could well be that make the human mind is so unique because it is an imperfect 'Kluge:' "a clumsy or inelegant – yet surprisingly effective – solution to a problem," like the Apollo 13 CO2 filter or an on-the-spot invention by MacGyver (Marcus 2008: 3f.). It may thus well turn out that what we think makes us so special is a mental "oddity of our species' way of understanding" the world around us (Povinelli & Vonk 2003: 160). It is reasonable then to assume that human cognition did not just simply get better across the board, but that instead we owe our unique style of thinking to quite specific specializations of the human mind.
With this in mind, we can now ask the question how these neurological differences must translate into psychological differences. But this is where the problem starts: Which features really distinguish us as humans and which are more derivative than others? A true candidate for what got uniquely human cognition off the ground has to pass this test and solve the problem how such "expensive tissue" could evolve in the first place.
In my next post I will have a look at six candidates for what makes human cognition unique.

WASHINGTON - Fewer Americans signed contracts to buy U.S. homes in July, but the level stayed close to a 6 1/2-year high. The modest decline suggests higher mortgage rates have yet to slow sales sharply.
The National Association of Realtors says its seasonally adjusted index for pending home sales declined 1.3 per cent to 109.5. That's close to May's reading of 111.3, the highest since December 2006.
The small decline suggests sales of previously owned homes should remain healthy in the coming months. There is generally a one- to two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed sale.
Sales jumped to an annual pace of 5.4 million in July, the highest in 3 1/2 years. Higher mortgage rates appeared to have a bigger impact on new-home sales, which plummeted last month.

27 May 2014 at 2.06pm | 4 Comments
'We need new instruments very badly… musicians should take up this question in deep earnest with the help of machinery specialists.' So wrote French composer Edgard Varèse in 1916, a man championed by many as the father of electronic music and dubbed 'the stratospheric colossus of sound' by author and fervent fan Henry Miller.
In the early decades of the 20th century, composers were drawn to the possibilities afforded by new technology. Groups such as the Futurists rejected instrumental and compositional conventions in favour of new sound-worlds, placing new value on 'noise'. This ethos was in part driven from a desire to reflect the industrial age of the 20th century. So fervent was their aim that they produced a manifesto, in which they stated their desire to 'present the musical soul of the masses, of the great factories, of the railways, of the transatlantic liners, of the battleships, of the automobiles and airplanes'.
As technology advanced, new instruments were invented, such as the Ondes Martenot, which attracted the attention of influential composer Olivier Messiaen, who began using it in 1937 (his opera Saint-François d'Assise calls for three of them). But it was arguably the invention of magnetic audio tape and the developments in recording technology that followed World War II, that gave electronic music the push that would eventually lead to it being embraced by the mainstream. This has ultimately culminated in the success of artists as diverse as Daft Punk, Radiohead and Kraftwerk. Though apparently far removed from classical music, these artists employ the same technology and techniques that were pioneered by the likes of Karlheinz Stockhausen in the middle decades of the 20th century.
Away from the rock and pop world of festivals and arena tours, orchestral musicians and composers have relished the possibilities afforded by electronic music, particularly the potential to add extra texture and ambience, at times appropriating what previous generations termed 'noise'. Perhaps most familiar to recent Covent Garden audiences is the work of Max Richter, whose score for the ballet Infra blends mournful Arvo Pärt-influenced minimalist strings with haunting electronic soundscapes and samples. More recently Richter 'recomposed' Vivaldi's Four Seasons, discarding 75% of the original material and replacing it with looped samples of Vivaldi's string phrases and eerie electronic swells.
It's a sound that has gained traction in recent years with Ólafur Arnalds, Nils Frahm and Dustin O'Halloran composing works that fall broadly under the banner of 'contemporary classical' and incorporate electronics. All three have, like Richter, collaborated with The Royal Ballet's Resident Choreographer, Wayne McGregor.
It's not just a case of composers with an orchestral background being seduced by electronic music, however. The pattern of influence flows the other way too, with electronic artists such as Aphex Twin and Venetian Snares having their heads turned by 20th century classical music: the former collaborating with Philip Glass, and the latter melding Stravinsky, Mahler and Bartók samples with high-tempo breakcore for the album Rossz Csillag Alatt Született.
Ethereal electronica artist Björk studied classical music during her formative years and has stated her love of Mahler, Berg and Prokofiev. Their influence has shown itself throughout her recorded output, most notably in her 2001 album Vespertine, which featured chamber orchestras and choirs alongside glitchy electronic beats.
Opera too, has not been immune to classical music's embrace of all things electronic – a striking recent example being Swedish synthpop duo The Knife's collaboration with Mt. Sims and Planningtorock on Tomorrow, In a Year, an electronic opera based on Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species staged at the Barbican in 2010. It's an ambient-heavy work, which sees classical mezzo-soprano vocals soaring over droning synths and vocoder phrases.
Luca Francesconi, whose opera Quartett receives its UK premiere next month at the Royal Opera House, studied under Stockhausen and has incorporated electronics into many of his works. Quartett sees him incorporate electronic ambient sounds under frenzied and often dissonant orchestral phrases to create a sense of claustrophobia- perfect for a narrative of the two last people alive on earth, trapped in a concrete bunker after World War III. It's sure to prove an intoxicating cocktail for the ears, and provide yet more proof that almost a century after Varèse urged the advance of music as an art form through the use of machines, composers continue to heed the call.

"Twenty Five"
25; this number by most accounts is rather large. 25 hours is longer than a day. 25 days is almost a month. A person can plan a wedding, plan a trip, have four tests and a paper all in 25 days; however, is 25 days long enough to learn you have cancer and fight it? Is 25 days long enough for you to live your last days in a hospital bed connected to a respirator, with every person praying for you; praying that by some miracle of God you will beat this disease and prove all the Dr.'s wrong? Is 25 days long enough for life to overcome death? From December 3rd 2006, the day Brittany Elizabeth Coppedge learned she had stage four-lung cancer, to December 28th 2006, the day she lost her hard fought battle, I saw many things. I watched my older brother hold the hand of the woman he loved as she fought for every breath; a mother give every ounce of love, support, and strength she had to her daughter to push her and keep her here with us; an eleven year old little sister learn to take her sister's temperature and read oxygen monitors; a grandfather who would have traded places with his granddaughter in a second. I saw a truly remarkable woman fight for every breath, for every second, for her very life. I saw my brother lose the love of his life all in 25 days. It only took 25 days for lung cancer to over power a 19 year old college Sophomore, 13 year competitive gymnast, non smoker, who never turned from a fight; however, she did live 23 days longer than the doctors had projected. In honor of her life and her battle a foundation was born to promote awareness about lung cancer and this is my purpose today.
Lung cancer usually takes years to develop and through its development precancerous changes will occur; however, they are not a mass or tumor and can't be seen on an x-ray and they don't cause symptoms. This is a part of the problem concerning lung cancer and what makes it so deadly. By the time doctors have discovered the lung cancer it has usually already spread throughout the lung and into other organs through the lymph system that is connected to your lungs. About 85% of all lung cancer cases are diagnosed in the later stages of this disease.
There are two forms of lung cancer and each attack the lung quickly and efficiently. There is small-cell and non-small cell lung cancer and under each of these there are specific sub forms. Depending on the form a person has and how the lymph system has been affected determines the treatment a person receives. Since this disease spreads so fast and attacks a vital organ all treatments are aggressive, such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy; however, lung transplants are almost never an option.
The support for this disease has been stunted due to the stereotypes we choose to believe. Yes smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer but it is not the only cause. At least 18,000 people this year will be diagnosed with lung cancer who have never picked up a cigarette, cigar, or pipe in their lives. The second leading cause of lung cancer is Radon, a gas that leaks from the soil into homes and offices through cracks and insulation. The environmental protection agency estimates that nearly 1 out of 15 homes has a high Radon level. Radon is responsible for 15,000-22,000 lung cancer deaths each year. Another cause is on-the-job hazards and pollution. The minute a person is exposed to cancer-causing chemicals their lungs begin to change. 1 in 13 men and 1 and 16 women have the chance of developing lung cancer in their lifetime and whether or not you are a smoker you are a part of this statistic.
About 213,380 new cases of lung cancer arise each year and out of these afflicted only 4 out of 10 will survive their first year. The 5-year survival rate for all lung cancers combined is only 13 15%, yet research shows that, if detected early, the 5-year survival rate could hit 80%. But the problem is there is no good way to test for lung cancer.
Lung cancer can escape x-rays, sputum or mucus tests, and CT scans and the symptoms for lung cancer do not show up until the advanced stages and are often subtle, such as chronic cough, hoarseness, weight loss, shortness of breath, fever, wheezing, chest pain, or coughing blood. 87% of lung cancer cases could be prevented or treated if we had proper screening and smoking was decreased, but unfortunately lung cancer has a lack of funding.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related deaths among both men and women. If you were to combine the deaths from breast, colon, prostate, liver, and melanoma cancer the death total from lung cancer would still be larger. There are no more excuses for disregarding lung cancer. Lung cancer is increasing among women and already kills more than breast cancer yet breast cancer receives ten times the funding. We can no longer afford to be ignorant of this disease. I too was ignorant once. Since I was not a smoker, or for that matter, since Brittany was not a smoker, we were safe. Unfortunately my shroud of ignorance was shattered due to the death of this truly spectacular and irreplaceable woman.
No one would have guess Brittany had stage 4 lung cancer at 19. She was young, she was a non-smoker, and she was an athlete. Obviously we were all wrong. She only had 25 days. Quite literally one month she was teaching gymnastics and the next she was in the hospital fighting for her life. It all started with a cough she couldn't escape and she was told it was bronchitis. Suddenly over thanksgiving her chest tightened and began to hurt so she went to the hospital and just never came out. The x-rays and sputum tests all missed Brittany's lung cancer. It took an open lung biopsy to discover what she had and by then nothing could be done. 25 days is an unbelievably short amount of time. If you think about it there are only 25 days till Christmas in December; the Amazing Race has its contestants go through 50 cities in 25 days. 25 is a rather small number. It is the age my brother is turning this year. It is the age Brittany will never see because of lung cancer.

Resolving Wildlife Conflicts
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries does NOT provide nuisance animal control or removal services. We do permit individuals (Nuisance Wildlife Control Operators) to provide these services for a fee. The Department maintains a list of over 100 nuisance animal trappers located across the state at www.wlf.louisiana.gov/wildlife/nwco [3] Contact the nuisance trapper closest to you for assistance with problem wildlife.
NWCO's are permitted to handle most species except deer, bears, migratory birds, and alligators. In many situations, however, calling in a professional is not entirely necessary. The following are steps an individual can take for getting rid of nuisance wildlife:
1. Make sure food for wildlife is not available around your home.
A) NEVER feed wild animals.
B) Make sure no pet food is left out at night.
C) Secure trash can lids and compost heaps.
D) Do not leave domestic animals that may be potential prey items loose or in shoddy or weak shelters.
2. Eliminate areas that can possibly be used by wildlife as shelter.
A) Seal any holes that may give wildlife access to your attic or the interior of your home. Some species of bats can fit through holes the size of a dime, so keeping your home well maintained is imperative for keeping nuisance animals out.
B) Skirting installed under mobile homes can prevent animals from gaining access underneath. Chicken wire or lattice can be used under raised houses.
C) Keep grass mowed to eliminate cover for wildlife.
D) Eliminate piles of wood or debris that can be used as shelter.
3. Live trap the animal and release it.
A) Title 76 outlines the rules for live trapping and releasing wildlife without a permit.
B) *WARNING* It can be dangerous to handle trapped animals.It is often easier to get an animal into a trap than to get one out. Heavy leather gloves should be worn and extreme caution must be used when releasing animals. Always stand behind the trap and point the open end towards a clear area when releasing, giving the animal a clear path out and away.
C) Should a bite occur, DO NOT RELEASE THE ANIMAL if it hasn't already been released. Regardless of the animal species, contact your state public health veterinarian for instructions on having the animal tested for rabies and contact your doctor. If a bite occurs, and the animal has been released and cannot be immediately re-captured, contact your doctor and the state public health veterinarian. Animals that appear healthy may be sick. Certain mammal species including but not limited to bats and skunks may be infected with the rabies virus and transmit it to humans. The rabies virus is fatal to humans if not treated before symptoms develop.
D) Trapped animals should be released a minimum of five miles from the trap site to prevent their return.
E) Trapping in the spring and early summer should be avoided. These are the breeding seasons for most wildlife, and removing adult animals may result in young animals being orphaned. If these young are in an attic or under a house etc., it can result in them dying thereby causing a new problem as they decay.
F) LDWF does not loan or rent traps. Traps are available from some parish animal control offices. Traps may be purchased at hardware stores and lawn and garden centers.
In cases where a bird or mammal has been injured and is in need of assistance, concerned citizens should contact a certified wildlife rehabilitator listed at http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/wildlife/rehab [4] . Wildlife rehabilitators have the training, skills, and facilities necessary to care for most injured animals, and are permitted by LDWF to rehabilitate injured wildlife in Louisiana.
Possessing wild animals without a permit is against state law. Furthermore, certatin species, such as migratory birds, are afforded additional protection under federal law.
There are two levels of rehabilitation permits, these include:
State permitted rehabilitators who may legally possess small mammal species and a few species of birds. These bird species include pigeons, starlings, house sparrows and domestic duck species. These species are not protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (http://www.fws.gov/forms/3-200-10b.pdf [5]), therefore state permitted wildlife rehabilitators may legally house only these bird species.
Federally permitted rehabilitators may legally possess small mammal species as well as most birds listed in the Migratory Bird Treaty Act:
http://www.fws.gov/forms/3-200-10b.pdf [5].
Should a rehabilitator not be available, the animals should be left in their natural habitat. Though this may sound like a cruel alternative, it is a natural process that helps regulate wildlife population levels.
Each year, well-intentioned people attempt to rescue small animals they thought were abandoned. However, many animals are taken from a completely normal situation. The mother of the small animal may be attempting to teach her offspring how to forage, walk or fly.
While it may appear that the small animal is left alone, a mother's watchful eye may not be far away. Adult animals frequently leave their young to forage for food, but rarely abandon them.
Wildlife parents attempt to conceal their young from humans and other animals. When humans handle or move young wildlife, it increases the chances that the parent may abandon the young or may not be able to find them. The best advice would be to leave young animals alone trying not to disturb them and let the parents care for them.
DO NOT CALL A WILDLIFE REHABILITATOR DIRECTLY FOR ANY SITUATION REGARDING A FAWN OR DEER. Rehabilitators are not permitted to take any deer/fawns without prior LDWF approval. ALL CALLS REGARDING DEER/FAWNS MUST BE HANDLED THROUGH YOUR LOCAL REGIONAL OFFICE. Louisiana deer typically fawn any time between the months of March through September, dependent upon the area of the state you live in. During the first few weeks of a fawn's life, it is most vulnerable to predators such as coyotes, black bears, bobcats, and feral dogs. Fawns have very little scent, and their reddish to light brown coats dappled with white spots are perfect camouflage while lying in herbaceous or woody cover. To avoid these predators, does select locations for their fawns to hide and to remain still. Does will often leave the fawns alone, while walking off some distance to browse or observe the fawn's location. This is another predator avoidance maneuver.
It is very easy for people that are out hiking or working in deer habitat, to walk up on fawns lying still in the woods or old fields. Every year Louisiana citizens call LDWF with reports of lost fawns, and often have "rescued" the fawn and brought it home. Though well meaning, it is the wrong thing to do, and in fact is illegal. Wild white-tailed deer may not be captured, including fawns. If you find a fawn, back away from it and leave it alone. The unseen doe likely is watching you, or will soon be back to nurse and check on the fawn.

THE ROUND-UP –The ninth edition of the FIFA Interactive World Cup has made history on the world's virtual football scene. No fewer than 2.5 million players from every corner of the planet took part in a bid to win a place in the Grand Final in Madrid, yet only a select 21 made it to the Spanish capital.
After the dust settled on the fiercely contested Grand Final action, and despite there being more players from Spain than any other nation, it was a Frenchman who was crowned FIWC champion. Bruce Grannec, the 2009 winner, took the title previously held by Alfonso Ramos and underlined just why they call him 'The Machine' on the FIFA13 circuit.
The road to glory was not short on obstacles for Grannec, particularly on the first day of play. Unexpectedly poor early results meant that he needed to win all three of his remaining games – and by healthy margins – simply to stay in the race.
"I got back to the hotel and I said to my team, 'I can't go out of the tournament like this, not at this stage,'" said the eventual champion to FIFA.com, just days later. True to his word, on day two Grannec picked up the required three wins, scoring nine and conceding none in the process, to secure a place in the competition's last eight.
Given how the first day went, being here right now is almost miraculous.
The rest, as they say, is history. Playing throughout with his favoured Real Madrid, the beaten 2012 finalist defeated August Rosenmeier 1-0, edged out Abdulaziz Alshehri 4-2 on penalties in the semis and then sank Andrei Torres Vivero 1-0 in the title decider, to move level with Ramos as the only men to have won two FIWCs.
"Given how the first day went, being here right now is almost miraculous," said Grannec, after bagging the trophy, 20,000 USD and a ticket to the next FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala.
It was not just the champion who came out of the tournament, which featured two newcomers in the last four, with his reputation enhanced. Mexican gamer Vivero proved that nothing is set in stone, giving up on FC Barcelona to instead use Brazil on the final and decisive day's play.
A Psychology student and part of a competitive video-gaming team, the 23-year-old came agonisingly close to levelling the final with his very last attack, only for his shot to inexplicably veer wide with the goal gaping. "It's hugely disappointing," said Vivero, also beaten 5-0 by Grannec in the group phase. "But I'm really proud to have got this far."
Taking the final place on the podium was history student Rafael Riobo, who played the entire competition as Bayern Munich and heads for home as the competition's 20-goal top scorer. Fourth spot, meanwhile, went to Alshehri from Saudi Arabia, whose performance eclipsed his quarter-final elimination in 2012.
Ramos falls short
The reigning champion and, prior to this year, the only player to lift the FIWC on two occasions, Spaniard Ramos was very much in the spotlight from the start of the 2013 showpiece in Madrid. However, despite a satisfactory first day, his grip on the title slipped away on day two when two defeats and a draw, without scoring a single goal, handed him an early exit.
"I played some good football but I didn't have luck on my side this time," said Ramos, who had been honoured at January's FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala, when speaking to FIFA.com. "The ball just didn't seem to want to go in. It feels really strange not to have got to the latter stages."

Rocking babies to sleep is a universal, worldwide practice, and it makes sense that your baby needs motion to drift off: before he was born, he was accustomed to being gently rocked in utero, as you walked around. A fascinating scientific tidbit: mothers unconsciously rock babies at the same speed as their natural walking speed!
For rocking, nursing, and relaxation (and perhaps a quick catnap of your own), there's no beating the Monte Design Grazia Swivel Glider chair, Monte's roomiest rocking chair model. The gleaming stainless steel swivel base on the Grazia gliding chair provides a perfectly smooth rocking motion, and lets you turn 360 degrees, too. And, as with other Monte Design nursery rocking chairs, the Grazia Glider boasts a simple and modern look, solid construction, and top-quality, environmentally-friendly materials:
A matching lumbar pillow is included with your Monte Design Grazia Swivel Glider – choose from the above color options. Contrast piping is available as well, and we suggest the matching Monte Design Grazia Ottoman for the ultimate comfort combination.
And of course, because the Monte Design Grazia Swivel Glider is so simple and beautiful, you'll still be relaxing in this lovely chair long after your child has moved on from his nursery.

Physical therapists (PTs) are health care professionals who diagnose and treat people of all ages who have medical problems or other health-related conditions that limit their abilities to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives.
PTs must have a graduate degree from an accredited physical therapy program before taking the national licensure examination. The minimum educational requirement is a bachelor's degree, yet most educational programs now offer the doctor of physical therapy (DPT) degree.
Physical therapists practice in hospitals, private practices, outpatient clinics, rehabilitation facilities, skilled nursing facilities, homes, education or research centers, schools, hospices, corporate or industrial health centers, athletic facilities and other settings.
Make sure that you receive physical therapy from a licensed PT.
Physical therapists are professional health care providers who are licensed by the state in which they practice. If you are receiving physical therapy from a physical therapist assistant, be sure that he or she is supervised by a licensed physical therapist.Ask the physical therapy clinic if they participate with your insurance company and/or will they submit claims on your behalf to your insurance company.
Some policies require co-payments for services and the co-payment will be dependent on if the PT is part of the insurer's provider network. You will also have to meet your deductible.

Ok so last night I finished a drawing during livestream (which is the roaring lion) and afterwards, I've decided to do a tut on "how to draw an emo couple", step by step. These emo characters were inspired by the many styles of the emo/scene fashion. I had to mix mine up, sort of give a scene girl paired with an emo styled boy. Now, I have nothing against these stereotypes, mainly because it's simply a fashion rather than a way a person acts depending on their social group. I prefer to remain stereotype-less, but if you insist, I'd fit very well in the rocker/nerd group. In this lesson, you'll want to keep notice of the face shapes, and how they correlate with one another. The female's face shape is much softer than her counterpart, which is inclined to the masculine side. I like to draw my emo styled boys a bit muscular and structured unlike most anime art I've seen. There's a hint of character in the two faces, which is defined in the noses. When you are drawing characters, make sure you have various facial diffrences. No one likes to see the same bland face shapes and styles. Anyways, I hope you'll all have fun with this one. I had fun creating it. Thanks for viewing and peace out!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

"Talk about an odd day. We don't normally comment on rumors, but this one seems legitimate enough to write on. A user on NeoGAF has spotted an odd discrepancy where Metal Gear Solid V receives the subtitle The Phantom Pain. And this is somewhat surprising, considering that we've believed the Phantom Pain to be a different game than MGSV. Could they be the same?"
After all this time and evidence this website still doesn't believe The Phantom Pain is an MGS game? About it being a subtitle, maybe.
Wow, if true then they're really pushing the franchise, 3 games in a couple of years? I can't wait to play them all!
3 games in a few years? Are you actually serious? KJ pump out a MGS ever3 -5 years. Not 3 in a row. And why do the dummies on the net still belive they aint the same game?
That to me looks like the guys at play asia based their information off the rumours. The image is that one that was edited by NeoGAF users. I suspect PlayAsia know as much as we do, and have just assumed.

Neighbors reveal more about Eric Finnegan
Eric Finnegan is in Benton County Jail tonight. Police said they later found out Finnegan is a level 3 sex offender. Sargent Andy Lee said Finnegan finally admitted to driving a vehicle with flashing lights to imitate a police car. One neighbor told 40/29 what he knew about Finnegan. "I heard he was a sex offender you just keep a closer eye on things and people around you," said Ronnie Wilson.
Neighbors said they we're surprised Finnegan was impersonating police. Wilson said police notified everyone that lived close by about Finnegan's past. Sargent Lee told 40/29 when they stopped Finnegan in Rogers by 8th street they noticed his white ford explorer from a distance. Not only did they notice emergency lights on the vehicle but a license plate that was labeled swat. "When we discovered he was a sex offender we feared he was using his car to attract minors," said Lee. Wilson said this situation is just something you don't think about. "No one ever things it's going to happen next door to them or someone they know. It's the world we live in," said Wilson.
Police said a police badge was found in the vehicle during the search. Deputies also confiscated 2 computers, a cell phone and a BB gun. Those electronics are being looked at the Sheriffs cyber crime unit. Lee said Finnegan's bond was set this morning for 50,000. His next court date is April 29th.

Our BR2 reactor plays an important part in the production of various types of medical radioisotopes. SCK•CEN generally meets approximately 20 to 25 % of the global demand. On a weekly basis this can amount to 65% when the reactor is in operation. We manage production orders for large radio-pharmaceutical companies all over the world.
A radioisotope is an unstable variant of a chemical element which spontaneously disintegrates and emits radiation during the radioactive decay process. In medicine these isotopes are used for medical imaging purposes.
Measurement of the emitted radiation makes it possible to accurately monitor radioisotopes in the body and thus analyse the function of the organ or metabolism in question.
Radioisotopes are increasingly used for medical treatments such as cancer therapy or pain management. The radiation kills the disease causing cells.
SCK•CEN produces radioisotopes for various medical applications.
We also produce radioisotopes for industrial applications, including the following:
Our clients value the fact that we are a highly reliable supplier. The production of radioisotopes and distribution to our clients are subject to rigorous quality controls, a process which is EN ISO 9001:2000 certified.
Contact: email@example.com
SCK•CEN is member of Rad4Med.be, the Belgian network for radiation applications in healthcare, a structure aimed at promoting this concept worldwide.

This month, the pope made some sensible remarks about sex, and the president of Iran made some reasonable comments about nuclear weapons. Also, the Russians proved to be extremely helpful during an international crisis. Meanwhile, on the home front, our Congress appears too crazed by internal conflict to keep the lights on.
Our elected officials are loonier than Iran. Than the pope on sex. Less useful than Vladimir Putin.
Oh, dear.
Big deadline coming! In theory, by Monday, the House and Senate are supposed to have jointly approved 12 bills appropriating money for the various sections of government in 2014. The entire package should be a prudent rethinking of what various agencies really need to do their jobs efficiently and effectively.
This is probably not going to happen because, as of today, the number of said bills passed by both bodies is zero.
The very, very best we can hope for is that Congress will gird its loins, don its armor, march out into the field and pass an agreement to kick the budgetary can down the road before the federal office doors start slamming shut on Oct. 1.
"I'm tired of dilly and dither," said Barbara Mikulski, the Senate Appropriations Committee chairwoman. So say we all.
Mikulski is arguing for a short-term can-kick, to prod progress on real, serious spending bills. That, of course, would require a joint agreement on an overall bottom line. Which the House has refused to discuss.
There are many culprits in this story, but the big obstacle to any progress whatsoever is the small but mighty cadre of Tea Party Republicans in the House. The ones who are trying to tie funding the government to the death of Obamacare. They are egged on by people like Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who kept his colleagues immobilized this week while he talked for 21 straight hours.
High points of Ted Cruz talking:
Comparison of his 21 hours with the "Bataan death march."
Comparison of people who think Obamacare cannot be repealed with the people who did not think Hitler could be stopped.
Reading of "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Seuss.
Reading of a speech made by Ashton Kutcher at the Teen Choice Awards.
The bit about Hitler appeasers drew an irate response from Senator John McCain. "I spoke to Senator Cruz about my dissatisfaction ... and he said he only intended it to be applied to pundits and not to members of the Senate," McCain said. We would definitely have liked to be around for that conversation.
Cruz is basically a roadblock with a Princeton debate medal. But he's managed to achieve what no one else, from the president to the American public, has been able to do in recent years: unite the vast majority of Congress around one great idea. Which is, in this case, hatred of Senator Ted Cruz.
His 21-hour performance, by the way, was apparently not an official filibuster. But since nobody wants to discuss Senate rules, let's just recall "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," when Senator Jimmy Stewart stood up in defiance of his misguided or corrupt colleagues and filibustered until he collapsed on the floor. Then Senator Claude Rains ran out into the hall yelling "Expel me! Not him!" and "Every word of it is true! I'm not fit for office!"
Nothing this week was nearly that cool.
In his, um, extremely long speech, Cruz also claimed that the senators had spent "virtually zero time even talking about jobs and the economy." Which isn't true. For instance, they recently devoted quite a bit of time to a new budget for transportation and housing that would have added a lot of jobs to the economy. It died when Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell pulled the plug at the last minute.
We stop here now for a moment to recall some of the other sensible pieces of legislation that have passed away for no discernible reason except political insanity. It will be a quick, quiet trip, similar to the one the finalists on "Survivor" take to remember all the people who have been voted off the island.
We will not forget you, good old Postal Service reform.
Keeping you in our thoughts, bipartisan farm bill.
Rest in peace, gun control.
Till we meet again, energy efficiency legislation.
And we walk on, pretending not to notice immigration reform lying over in the corner, coughing pathetically.
So what happens now? The Senate is still working on the kicking-the-can-down-the-road bill. If we survive next week, there will be more cans and another fiscal cliff or two. Whoops! It's time for the holidays.
Let's cancel Christmas vacation for Congress. In fact, let's confine the House and Senate in the Capitol until they make us cliff-free. If we don't see any progress by Nov. 1, we take off the roof for the rest of the winter. No blankets until they become at least as reasonable as the Iranians. Or the pope on sex.
