Castellan means "protector of the castle". This company is about protecting and growing people's finances. But there's a certain element of fun to the business (see Debt Man Walking on http://www.debtman.com.au )
Castellan Financial Consulting
• "Castellan" means "protector of the castle" or "lord of the castle". The preference is something that gives the "protector" angle.
• Perhaps a castle (but there's no need to confine it to that). Protecting a castle (therefore swords or shields or the like) or anything else that you think gets the message across.
• It needs to be suitable as a lead logo for a website, plus on a business card, plus letterhead, "with compliments" slips, etc.
• It needs to be simple enough to be instantly recogniseable.
• It needs to say 'security', 'trust', 'honesty'.
• While the primary market is those aged 28-48 (born in the 60s and 70s), it does need to appeal to people aged as old as approximately 70, 75 or 80.
• It needs to 'work' alongside of Debt Man (http://www.debtman.com.au), but this may be on colour alone (that is, does not need to necessarily need to be identical in form, font or design). The designs may well appear on the same page regularly. In fact, the back of business cards may well say something like "incorporating Debt Man".
- Item 1...• Single colour: Pantone colour is PMS 369. It needs to be in the same colour as what can be found on http://www.debtman.com.au.
• It can also use black and white.
• For further information about me and the "other" side of the business, plus the book, please see http://www.debtman.com.au.
• Needs to be used for the usual signage, plus business card, letterhead, yet-to-be-designed website. (The current debtman.com.au website is a bit too busy, I understand, but that's my fault).
- Item 1...• Nothing too modern.
• I don't want people thinking that the business is too sophisticated. The business model involves trying to ensure that sure clients understand what they're doing. It's about knowledge, not financial wizardry.

Great find! Sounds like we've found our Mustangs..
The muscle location looks more like a palace/castle/theatre type place. It doesn't look like your typical gym or pose down location. There is a beautiful tapestry and big ornate white pillars.Could this be 1/2 of the detour and then the Legoland puzzle is the other one and Jeremy and Sandy had to give up on the Legos?

Commentary: From what exactly are we protecting the children?
Well, that was close.
Surely, we are all relieved that at least some children were protected this week from the diabolical Barack Obama. It was touch and go there for awhile after the White House announced its plan for the president to give a back-to-school address to America's kids. They might have gotten away with it, too, but for conservative pundits and politicians who spent last week raising a ruckus about this scheme to indoctrinate our youth into the president's socialist cult. They were able to convince an untold number of schools to prohibit Tuesday's speech from being shown on campus and an untold number of parents to keep their children home.
By this decisive action, untold millions (thousands?) of our kids were saved from exposure to subversive sentiments like "pay attention," "listen to your parents" and "every single one of you has something to offer."
That mission accomplished, one wonders if conservatives will be equally energetic in rescuing kids from other things that threaten them.
Our children need all the help they can get, after all. They are coming of age in an America where, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in four girls between ages 14 and 19 is infected with at least one of four dangerous sexually transmitted diseases (human papillomavirus, chlamydia, genital herpes, trichomoniasis). An era where, according to the National Center for Children in Poverty at Columbia University, more than 13 million kids live below the poverty line. An era where, according to the Education Department, despite noteworthy progress in recent years, one in four public-school eighth graders lacks basic grade level reading skills, and one in five fourth graders can't do the math.
What's arguably more frightening in the long view is that they're coming of age in an America so hyper-partisan, shrill, silly and incoherent that a pep talk to school kids — surely the most plain vanilla presidential duty this side of pardoning the turkey at Thanksgiving — gets treated like it was Osama bin Laden giving an al-Qaeda recruitment speech in lower Manhattan on Sept. 11.
It is an absurd controversy, but in a nation of birthers and truthers, death panels and tea parties, absurdity has become our default setting — as has political violence, whether rhetorical or real.
Last week, for goodness sake, we heard about a health care reform proponent biting off the finger of someone who disagreed with him. Meanwhile in Arizona, an alleged Christian minister made headlines preaching and praying for the president's death.
If America were a person, you'd sedate it. You might even have it committed.
This is not politics, it's a temper tantrum, a national hissy-fit that calls into question — and not for the first time — whether a nation so vast and varied still can, or still wants to be, a nation.
A few days ago, a woman running for office in Pennsylvania e-mailed me about her encounter with a voter who objected to the idea of, as he put it, paying for his neighbor's health insurance. She reminded him that to live in a society is to be interdependent. We all pay for libraries, we all pay for national defense, we all pay to school our kids. Except, he said he doesn't want to pay to educate someone else's kids, either. We are not interdependent, the man insisted. We are alone, each man in it by and for himself.
You might call that view an aberration. My fear is that it is a harbinger. My fear is that we are a people stampeded by and toward political extremes, and that in our shrillness, our ignorance, our paranoia, hatefulness and fear, we dig a trench through common ground and make this nation ungovernable.
If we want to save our children from anything, maybe we ought to save them from that.

Students celebrate the value of life during Convocation
In Monday's Convocation, Liberty University students were encouraged to become involved in defending the unborn and supporting mothers facing unplanned pregnancies.
|Former Liberty Flames Football player Zach Duke ('12) speaks in Convocation on Monday, Jan. 27.
Former Liberty Flames Football player Zach Duke ('12) encouraged students to become active in fighting for the rights of the unborn. Duke is a representative of The Rose Initiative and The Liberty Godparent Home. Duke promoted "Reclaim Life" bracelets, printed with the name of a mother who has chosen life, along with her due date. All proceeds go to the Liberty Godparent Home.
"The Rose Initiative is a movement on a mission to unite, reclaim, and celebrate life through the Gospel of Jesus Christ," Duke said. "We want to recognize the girls in the Godparent Home today and applaud them for choosing life."
The keynote address was given by visually impaired pro-life activist and motivational speaker Gail McWilliams.
When McWilliams and her husband were first married, they were told they would never have children, but by the grace of God, they were eventually able to conceive and have five children. However, during each of her pregnancies, McWilliams' eyes would hemorrhage, causing her vision to deteriorate.
|Visually impaired pro-life activist Gail McWilliams speaks in Liberty's Convocation on Monday, Jan. 27.
When McWilliams was carrying her second daughter, the doctor told her he was noticing a pattern and that she would either have to choose her eyes or her baby.
"I said to the doctor: 'The choice is made, and I choose my baby.' The doctor told me I was making a foolish decision and left the room. After he left, I sat alone, and I knew I made a major decision, but I knew I had made the right decision in choosing life," McWilliams said.
She also stressed the importance of having another type of vision — a dream for future generations.
"I find that living in a culture where life seems to be disposable … that our eyes need to see life as a treasured commodity that will impact generations to come," McWilliams said.
She told students that life will have problems and difficulties, however is it still a gift.
"When you have a vision, you can see in the darkest places of life," she said. "If you live on only what you can see, it is disappointing and discouraging. Live with a vision and always make your decisions anchored in the word of God."
McWilliams received a standing ovation for her speech.

Study to Evaluate the Effect of Fluticasone Furoate/Vilanterol on Survival in Subjects With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

|Phase 3
Despite a potential link between the pathogenetic mechanisms involved in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, there are no currently approved therapies for patients with COPD that have clearly shown an additional beneficial effect in patients with cardiovascular comorbidities. The TOwards a Revolution in COPD Health (TORCH) study assessed the impact of the inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) fluticasone propionate (FP) in combination with the long-acting beta agonist (LABA), salmeterol (SAL), in reducing all-cause mortality. TORCH demonstrated a 17.5% reduction on all-cause mortality with salmeterol-fluticasone propionate combination (SFC) compared with placebo (HR=0.825, 95% CI (0.681, 1.002), p=0.052) in the entire COPD population with disease severity form moderate to very severe. A post hoc analysis of the data restricted to those subjects with an forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) >=50% predicted with an apparent history of cardiovascular co-morbidities (defined as use at baseline of beta-blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI)/angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB), HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (i.e. statins) or a prior MI recorded at baseline) demonstrated a 49% reduction in the risk of dying within 96 weeks for the comparison of SFC with placebo. These post hoc data suggest the possibility of an ICS/LABA combination product to be of substantial benefit in COPD subjects with less severe airflow obstruction yet with increased cardiovascular risk.
The mechanism by which SFC appears to be associated with a greater reduction in mortality in these less severe COPD subjects with concomitant cardiovascular comorbidities is speculative at present, but could potentially in part be related to a lessening of the degree of inflammation in the systemic circulation, potential plaque stabilization and/or amelioration of arterial stiffness.
ICS/LABA combinations that are currently available require twice daily administration. A once daily ICS/LABA combination has the potential to improve patient compliance and as a result, overall disease management.
The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate the effect of the once daily ICS/LABA combination Fluticasone Furoate (FF)/Vilanterol (VI) on survival in subjects with moderate COPD (>=50 and =<70 % predicted FEV1 ) and a history of, or at increased risk for cardiovascular disease.

- Number of Participants With Death (Both on and Off Treatment) Due to Any Cause, Time up to or on the Pre-determined Common End Date [ Time Frame: From the date of randomization until date of death due to any cause (average of 2 study years) ]Death from any cause: which occurred from the day of starting IP until the Commone End Date (CED). Common End Date (CED) is the study end date that was pre determined where approximately 1000 deaths would have occurred in the Intent-toTreat Efficacy (ITT-E) Population. Only deaths which occurred on or before the CED were used for the primary analysis. Those who had not died by CED, but who were known to be alive on or after the CED, were censored at the CED. Cox Proportional Hazards (PH) Model was adjusted for age, and gender, including all 4 arms. A hazard ratio of less than 1 indicates a lower death rate versus placebo or other arm. ITT-E Population consisted of all participants in the Safety Population (i.e. randomized to IP and who received at least one dose of IP), with the exception of those recruited at sites that were closed.
- Decline in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) [ Time Frame: From start date of IP until IP stop date + 1 (assessed up to 4 years) ]FEV1 is a measure of lung function and is defined as the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in one second. The effect of treatment on decline of post bronchodilator FEV1 recorded during the treatment period was analyzed using a particular form of a mixed effect model - a random coefficients model. FEV1 was fitted as the response variable with treatment group, age, gender, baseline FEV1 and time on treatment as fixed effects. Time on treatment was treated as a continuous variable. This model allowed for an initial increase in FEV1, but then tested the difference in slopes from the first post-baseline measurement which was at 3 months. A negative slope indicates a decline. A positive treatment difference indicates a slower rate of decline vs Placebo or Component. Only participants with at least one on-treatment post-bronchodilator FEV1 measurement were analyzed.
- Number of Participants With First On-treatment Cardiovascular (CV) Composite Events Occured on or Before Common End Date [ Time Frame: From the start of IP to first on treatment CV event till 7 days after the last dose of IP (average of 2 study years) ]On-treatment CV composite event is comprised of the first event that is adjudicated as on-treatment CV death, myocardial infarction, stroke, unstable angina, or transient ischemic attack experienced by a participant. The events that occurred no more than 7 days after the participants last dose of IP are considered as on-treatment adverse events. Common end date is the study end date where approximately 1000 deaths would have occurred in the ITT-E Population. Cox PH Model was used to assess time to first on-treatment CV composite event. Cox PH Model was adjusted for age, gender and indicators of ischemic and vascular disease, including all four treatment arms. A hazard ratio less than 1 indicates a lower risk of a first CV event rate versus placebo or any arm.

Many of my clients are young entrepreneurs and investors who are looking for something edgy but sophisticated.
I am self publishing this book so the book must adhere to the terms, printing guidelines and specs of: http://lightningsource.com/
Here is their file creation guide:

Police said Vandeusen hit 24-year-old Joshua Macro about 1 a.m. Saturday on Onset Avenue near Aunt Hannah's Lane in Wareham.
WAREHAM – Police say a 28-year-old Middleboro man struck and killed an Onset man in a wheelchair early Saturday morning.
John Vandeusen faces charges of motor vehicle homicide, Wareham's interim police chief, Kevin Walsh, said in a statement.
Police said Vandeusen hit 24-year-old Joshua Macro about 1 a.m. Saturday on Onset Avenue near Aunt Hannah's Lane in Wareham.
Macro was pronounced dead at a local hospital a short time later.
WCVB reported that Macro was a tattoo artist who became wheelchair-bound after hitting a tree on a dirt bike.
"I've known Josh since he was in grade school," neighbor Tom Hogan told WCVB.
Hogan said he used to play basketball with Macro.
"He's a great kid. I just can't believe something would happen like that," he said.
Vandeusen is also being charged with negligent operation of a motor vehicle and failure to stay in marked lanes.
He is being held without bail and is set to be arraigned Tuesday in Wareham District Court.
The incident was under investigation Saturday by the Wareham Police Department, the state police assigned to the Plymouth County District Attorney's Office and the Accident Reconstruction Team.
Police said no additional details were being released Saturday evening.

ANDERSON, Ind. – For the second consecutive game, the Griz kept its host football opponent off the scoreboard - this time in a 69-0 rout at Anderson today.
Franklin College, ranked 24th this week in the D3football.com Top 25 Poll, improved to 4-0 in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference and 4-2 overall. The Ravens fell to 0-4 in the league and 0-6.
The lop-sided decision also was the second straight time FC piled up 69 points at Anderson's Macholtz Stadium (the Griz won 69-10 in 2010) and extended Franklin's winning streak in HCAC contests to 22. The Grizzlies blanked Mount St. Joseph 38-0 in Cincinnati last weekend.
And there were more key numbers for Franklin.
Quarterback Jonny West was nearly perfect throwing the football. West completed 20 of 21 pass attempts for 341 yards and 3 touchdowns and rushed two times for 13 yards. The junior, a second-year starter at QB, capped the Grizzlies' first drive with a 3-yard scoring toss to junior split end Kyle Linville.
West connected with Linville on a 79-yard pass play and hit senior wingback James Vaughn with a 4-yard TD strike in the second quarter.
Most of the Griz's touchdowns were scored on the ground.
Sophomore running back Sam Otley reached the end zone from just 1 yard out in the opening period and tallied a 2-yard scoring rush in the final minute of the first half.
Senior running back Luke Hamm ran for a 3-yard touchdown at the 10:27 mark of the third quarter, sophomore Joey Pasquale rushed for a 19-yard TD about seven minutes later and sophomore backup quarterback Grant Welp ran in from 19 yards with 13 seconds remaining in the third period.
Sophomore running back Micah Hatch produced FC's first rushing TD in the fourth quarter with a 2-yard run. The Grizzlies capped their scoring on a 30-yard interception return for a touchdown by freshman linebacker Jeremiah Windell with 4:15 left.
Franklin piled up a whopping 648 total offensive yards to Anderson's 186.
Franklin's defense was led by junior linebacker Jordan Segner, who made a strong showing in his homecoming. Segner had 1 solo tackle, but had 15 assisted tackles and made an interception, returning it 12 yards. Windell had 5 total tackles in addition to his pickoff.
The Griz next week will play at home for the first time since Sept. 22 when HCAC foe Rose-Hulman visits Faught Stadium for a 1:30 p.m. clash.

Dawn French to judge Lloyd Webber's Superstar
Latest Stories
Dawn French and Jason Donovan have been signed up as judges for Andrew Lloyd Webber's search for the lead in his musical Jesus Christ Superstar.
And Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden is confirmed as host of the live heats of the ITV1 programme, which launches this summer.
The series, called Superstar, will fill the role of Jesus for an arena tour of the hit musical which also stars ex-Spice Girl Mel C, Tim Minchin and Radio 1's Chris Moyles. Guest performers who are booked for each show will also join the judges to give their opinions about the wannabes.
Vicar Of Dibley star Dawn joked about how she was relishing the prospect of joining the panel led by the composer, who has the formal title of Lord Lloyd Webber. She said: "I'm gagging to find Jesus with the help of the Good Lord.
"I have actually been searching for him my whole life, and I can't believe that inside a few weeks we are going to find him. The fact that he is going to be a Rock God is a massive bonus."
Jason has already been a judge in the early stages of the search and will now continue for the televised heats.
He said: "We have unearthed some cracking talent so far and I'm really pleased I've had time to get to know the finalists as we've moved through the competition stages. It's an honour to sit by Andrew on the judging panel and I can't wait for the live shows to start."
Amanda said: "It's an absolute honour to be working with Andrew on Superstar. We've discovered some wonderful talent for the viewers, I already feel very protective of them, I'm like Mother Hen with all my boys."
The winner will take the lead role in a national tour, opening at London's O2 arena on September 21.
Chris is to play Herod, Mel C is Mary Magdalene, while Tim takes the role of Judas Iscariot.

The State Attorney's Office formally charged Burney Hayes on Wednesday with battery involving a 16-year-old high school student. Court documents state Hayes "did intentionally touch or strike Michael Thompson against his will."
LAKE WALES | The State Attorney's Office formally charged Burney Hayes on Wednesday with battery involving a 16-year-old high school student.
Court documents state Hayes "did intentionally touch or strike Michael Thompson against his will."
An arraignment is set for 8:30 a.m. Feb. 7. The first-degree misdemeanor charge has a maximum penalty of a year in jail.
Hayes, 51, was fired as a substitute teacher and citizen coach after he escorted Thompson from the Lake Wales High School gymnasium Jan. 7 after a fight during a junior varsity basketball practice.
A student's cellphone recorded Hayes using a restraining hold around the boy's arms and yelling at him to be respectful while the student yelled to be let go.
On-site surveillance cameras then recorded Hayes pushing the boy through the doors and out of the gym.
The boy's mother had sought for charges to be filed.
Hayes told his supporters at a community meeting Monday that the boy was cursing and showing disrespect, and he would have reacted the same way to any youth in that situation.
He said he and his wife have helped 60 young men attend college or play professional sports during the past 25 years by taking them in and teaching them obedience and self-control.
Charter System Superintendent Jesse Jackson declined to comment Wednesday.
Lake Wales High Principal Donna Dunson said she was saddened by the situation.
"This is a no-win situation for everyone involved," she said, "but the judicial system has spoken on behalf of this African-American young man and his family."
Dunson had said after the Jan. 7 incident that she made a mistake hiring Hayes, given his past.
In October 2010, Hayes was fired from the Lake Wales Police Department for going home during his shift and not being in contact.
In 2008, he was charged with biting the nose of a Lake Wales High football player. The charges were dropped in 2009 after he agreed to attend anger management classes and donate to a youth organization.
David Smith, president of the Lake Wales Branch of the NAACP, said concerned citizens still want to meet with Jackson on Feb. 11 to see whether Hayes can be reinstated.
Smith said Hayes has filed a discrimination complaint with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People against the Charter System.
Because Hayes is on the Lake Wales board, the complaint will be investigated by Lakeland NAACP Branch President Don Brown, Winter Haven NAACP Branch President the Rev. Fred Leonard Sr. and Lake Wales NAACP board member William Moure, Smith said.
Smith said citizens think authorities didn't receive all of the facts of the case, and that a double standard based on race is used to judge teachers at Lake Wales High.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Among the stocks that could see active trade in Wednesday's session are Crocs Inc., Delta Apparel Inc. and Urban Outfitters Inc.
Companies on Wednesday's earnings calendar include Supervalu Inc. SVU, Lennar Corp. LEN, +0.97%, Richardson Electronics Ltd. RELL, -2.76%, SemiLEDs Corp. LEDS, +3.88%, DragonWave Inc. DRWI and Premier Exhibitions Inc. PRXI, among others.
Late Tuesday, Crocs CROX, +0.67% said it expects fourth-quarter revenue to come in at the high end of the footwear maker's previously forecast range of $200 million to $205 million. This which would put the Niwot, Colo.-based company squarely on track to surpass the $1 billion mark on annualized basis for the first time this year. Full quarterly and 2011 financial results will be disclosed in late February, Crocs said.
Citing a combination of record cotton costs and pricing discounts, Delta Apparel DLA, -0.94% said it will take a markdown of about $16 million against results for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, a move that will cut into earnings by some $1.20 a share. In addition, the Greenville, S.C.-based company pegged little year-over-year growth in revenue — about $105 million for the latest quarter as opposed to the prior year's $104.6 million. In all, Delta Apparel now projects a quarterly loss of $1.58 to $1.62 a share. Looking to the full year, management said it expects to generate earnings of 50 cents to 60 cents a share on revenue in a range of $480 million to $500 million. The company will report quarterly results on Jan. 26.
Urban Outfitters URBN, +3.64% said that Glen Senk resigned as chief executive and that he's been replaced by co-founder Richard Hayne, who also serves as chairman. Senk, a veteran of the Philadelphia-based retailer who became CEO in 2007, is leaving "to pursue another opportunity" but would stay on for a transition period, Urban Outfitters said.
Hill-Rom Holdings Inc. HRC, -2.08% acknowledged that revenue came in weaker than forecast across the board as the Batesville, Ind.-based company said it would report revenue of about $381 million for the first quarter ended Dec. 31, up about 2% from the same period in fiscal 2011. The company also pegged earnings at 52 cents to 53 cents a share for the quarter, as opposed to an adjusted profit of 52 cents a share a year earlier. Further, Hill-Rom revised lower its revenue forecast for fiscal 2012 and now projects growth of 3% to 4% on a constant-currency basis. Adjusted earnings for the fiscal year are now forecast in a range of $2.45 to $2.50 a share, narrower than the prior range of $2.45 to $2.55 a share. Hill-Rom will release full first-quarter results Jan. 25.
Mattress Firm Holding Corp. MFRM raised projections for revenue and comparable-store sales for the fiscal year ending Jan. 31. As revised, the Houston-based company sees net revenue of $690 million to $695 million, up from a previously forecast range of $685 million to $690 million and substantially higher than the $494 million generated in fiscal 2011. The revision reflects stronger-than-forecast revenue generated in the fourth quarter. In addition, management lifted the full-year growth forecast for comp-store sales, to 18% to 19% from a previous range of 16% to 17%.
Along with reporting results for the fourth quarter ended Nov. 30, Synnex Corp. SNX, -0.24% said it expects to generate earnings of 89 cents to 93 cents a share on revenue of $2.48 billion to $2.58 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. In the latest three months, the Fremont, Calif.-based company had a profit of $1.37 a share on revenue of $2.84 billion.
Royal Gold Inc. RGLD, +0.03% agreed to sell 4 million shares of common to Goldman Sachs & Co. in an at-the-market public offering, the Denver-based mining company said. Royal Gold said it would use net proceeds for the acquisition of additional royalty or similar interests, to fund near-term obligations resulting from the recent Mt. Milligan acquisition and to repay debt. The offering, with Goldman as sole underwriter, is expected to close Friday.
A subsidiary of Level 3 Communications Inc. LVLT priced at par $900 million of 8.625% senior notes due 2020 that will be sold to institutional buyers via a private offering, the Broomfield, Colo.-based company said. The lion's share of the net proceeds will be used to redeem all of the Level 3 subsidiary's outstanding 9.25% senior notes due 2014.

Seeing, hearing, tasting and touching disease: the use of the senses in medical diagnosis
Urinal, Europe, 1801-1900
Doctors use seeing, hearing, touch, smell and sometimes even taste to discover more about a patient's complaint. Practitioners in different medical cultures developed ways to use their bodies as instruments in diagnosis.
Greek, Islamic and Chinese medicine
In ancient Greek medicine a person's environment was important for his or her health. Greek doctors observed the patient's physical condition. This meant the body's 'symptoms' ('happenings' in Greek) and also the patient's everyday life and environment. Practitioners such as Galen used all five senses of vision, touch, hearing, smell and taste in their observations. A doctor watched how the patient moved and observed skin colour; touched the patient to determine body temperature and observe the pulse; listened to a rumbling stomach; smelled the patient's breath or the odour of his or her faeces; and even tasted the patient's sweat or urine. Islamic scientists also believed diagnosis should use all senses. Egyptian scholar Ali Ibn Ridwan (c. 988 - c. 1061) reminded colleagues and students: 'For your diagnosis ... you should always choose things that are extremely powerful and easy to recognise, and these are what can be perceived by sight, touch, hearing, smell, taste and by the intellect.'
Traditional Chinese Medicine developed extensive classifications of pulses. It also used charts to interpret the appearance of body parts such as the face, eyes and tongue as clues to internal diseases.
The patient-practitioner relationship
Diagnosis took different forms depending on the social status of doctor and patient. Doctors in early modern Europe were scholars who considered hands-on practice unacceptable to their high social standing. Few of these learned practitioners, including anatomist Giovanni Battista Morgagni, used techniques such as palpation to make a diagnosis. Most preferred looking at patients and interrogating them. Male doctors interacting with female patients was particularly difficult. French physician Laennec even invented the stethoscope to avoid indecency.
Other medical traditions had similar concerns. This may explain why pulse diagnosis looks similar worldwide. For example, early practitioners in Traditional Chinese Medicine felt different pulses at points all around the patient's body. Over centuries, they focused on the wrists. They argued a trained physician could feel 12 different pulses there. This change allowed practitioners to diagnose ailments by touching only the patient's wrists.
Instruments to support the senses
Doctors also employ instruments to support their senses. Doctors in ancient Greece and Rome, and in medieval Europe used instruments such as probes and speculums to access hidden parts of a patient's body. French physician Laennec developed the stethoscope in the early 1800s to help listen to the heartbeat. German scientist Helmholtz invented the ophthalmoscope a few decades later to aid eye inspections. Other instruments were adapted from science for medical purposes. These include the microscope, which revealed the presence of germs. The discovery of X-rays around 1900 made the inside of the body visible. Today, technologies from ultrasound to CAT scanning visualise the body.
Do instruments replace the senses?
Doctors increasingly introduced measurement and quantification to medical practice from the 1800s. The doctor's use of touch to determine body temperature was replaced by the thermometer. Medical scientists and practitioners argued these new technologies improved diagnostic practice. They were more objective and reliable than doctors' subjective sense impressions. They saved time because tests and measurements were administered by a nurse or technician. And they also improved communication because instruments produced numbers or curves which were shared and discussed. For instance, the sphygmometer visualised the patient's pulse and more than one person could look at it simultaneously. Permanent visual traces such as the curves of the electrocardiogram (ECG) were shared, compared, preserved and circulated.
Doctors became more skilled at using scientific techniques as instruments and tests replaced the senses. However, practitioners argue they simultaneously lose the ability to interpret their own sense impressions. Different means of diagnosis resulting in conflicting clues also raise questions. Should practitioners trust their senses, patients' descriptions of their symptoms, or tests and instruments?

WASHINGTON - More than 1 million Americans are bracing for a harrowing, post-Christmas jolt as extended federal unemployment benefits come to a sudden halt this weekend, with potentially significant implications for the recovering U.S. economy. A tense political battle likely looms when Congress reconvenes in the new, midterm-election year.
WASHINGTON � More than 1 million Americans are bracing for a harrowing, post-Christmas jolt as extended federal unemployment benefits come to a sudden halt this weekend, with potentially significant implications for the recovering U.S. economy. A tense political battle likely looms when Congress reconvenes in the new, midterm-election year.
Nudging Congress along, a vacationing President Barack Obama called two senators proposing an extension to offer his support. From Hawaii, Obama pledged yesterday to push Congress to move quickly next year to address the �urgent economic priority,� the White House said.
For families dependent on cash assistance, the end of the federal government�s �emergency unemployment compensation� will mean some difficult belt-tightening as enrollees lose their average monthly stipend of $1,166.
Jobless rates could drop, but analysts say the economy might suffer with less money for consumers to spend on everything from clothes to cars. Having let the �emergency� program expire as part of a budget deal, it�s unclear if Congress has the appetite to start it anew.
An estimated 1.3 million people will be cut off when the federally funded unemployment payments end today.
About 214,000 Californians will lose their payments, a figure expected to rise to more than a half-million by June, the Labor Department said. In the past 12 months, Californians received $4.5 billion in federal jobless benefits, much of it plowed back into the local economy.
More than 127,000 New Yorkers also will be cut off this weekend. In New Jersey, 11th among states in population, 90,000 people will immediately lose out.
Started under President George W. Bush, the benefits were designed as a cushion for the millions of U.S. citizens who lost their jobs in a recession and failed to find new ones while receiving state jobless benefits, which in most states expire after six months. About 1.9 million more people across the country are expected to exhaust their state benefits before the end of June.
Obama has no quick fix. He hailed this month�s two-year budget agreement as a breakthrough of bipartisan cooperation while his administration works with Democratic allies in the House and Senate to revive an extension of jobless benefits for those unemployed more than six months.
The Obama administration says those payments have kept 11.4 million people out of poverty and benefited almost 17 million children. The cost since 2008 has totaled $225 billion.
At the depth of the recession, laid-off workers could qualify for up to 99 weeks of benefits, including the initial 26 weeks provided by states. The most recent extension allowed a total of up to 73 weeks, depending on the state.
Restoring up to 47 extra weeks of benefits through 2014 would cost $19 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
House Democrats, led by Reps. Sander Levin of Michigan and Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, sought to include an extension through March by offsetting the costs with potential farm-bill savings. They were rebuffed.
Senate Democrats and some Republicans plan another push in 2014. Sens. Jack Reed, D-R.I., and Dean Heller, R-Nev., have introduced a bill offering a similar three-month extension, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has promised to bring it up. But as with much in Congress, an extension is no sure thing.
In phone calls yesterday, Obama told Reed and Heller he was glad they were working together to address the problem. �It defies economic sense, precedent and our values,� Gene Sperling , an economic adviser to Obama, said in a statement.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-West Chester, spoke with Obama this month about an extension. Boehner said his caucus would consider the possibility �as long as it�s paid for and as long as there are other efforts that will help get our economy moving once again.� He said the White House has yet to introduce a plan that meets his standards.
For other Republicans, the bar is higher. Many look at signs of economic growth and an unemployment rate down to 7 percent �and expected to drop further � as evidence the additional weeks of benefits aren�t needed.

Hi All.
New here so thought I would share my shack/semi permanent position. So here's the rigs:
For antennas I have a Diamond X-510 on the roof for VHF/UHF analogue, 70cm slim jim for the DM4600 which gets me into GB7NS and an 80m OCFD for HF. Interestingly I can get GB7BK on the X-510 albeit not very well but I can't get GB7GF on either antenna despite it being a lot closer. I can get GB3GF though...work that one out! I also have a currently non operational quad band vertical which I need to get fixed.
Last one is when I had to spend a weekend in Merstham to keep an eye on my poorly Grandfather. He said I could bring my radios so I took my rarely used FT-7800, DM4600 and PSU. Magmount on radiator served the 7800 and a telescopic whip for the Motorola. Actually worked really well.

I once set a $2000 laptop down on an uneven stack of books. A half hour later I was a few rooms away when I heard it clatter to the floor. I instantly knew what it was and even though my hopes were high it was busted beyond repair. What's your worst accidental destruction story?

Brewers system nets pitching reinforcements via Draft
MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers already liked the pitching prospects who were climbing up the ladder of their farm system.
The 2013 First-Year Player Draft only solidified the position at every Minor League level, pending signings.
MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers already liked the pitching prospects who were climbing up the ladder of their farm system.
The 2013 First-Year Player Draft only solidified the position at every Minor League level, pending signings.
Milwaukee dipped into the high school pool with right-hander Devin Williams in the second round, but followed that with a slew of college arms that amateur scouting director Bruce Seid said would complement the current farm system group.
"From Triple-A on down to our Low-A team, we have anywhere from two to four guys at each level that have a chance to be Major League pitchers," Seid said following the conclusion of the Draft Saturday night. "I'm confident in our development, I'm confident with the guys we're sending out and I think we are definitely strengthening the system."
Of the Brewers' 40 Draft selections, 23 were pitchers. They picked 17 right-handed hurlers and six left, with just two coming out of high school.
"It was balanced to some degree," Seid said. "We took some high-upside pitching early on, and I like the college guys we got. We've gotten some pitchers in past years who are making their way up to the higher levels and hopefully will get to Milwaukee pretty soon. Some very exciting guys."
Brewers fans have already watched a couple young pitchers rise to the next level this season in starter Hiram Burgos and reliever Donovan Hand. Burgos was a Brewers' ninth-round pick in 2009 and Hand was taken in the 14th round in 2007.
Top prospect Tyler Thornburg (3rd round, 2010 Draft) was also called up from Triple-A Nashville this season and made two relief appearances. He earned his first Major League win on Saturday, but was quickly dropped back down to Nashville to make room on the roster for closer Jim Henderson's return from the disabled list on Sunday.
Hand blossomed in the Brewers' system in his six-plus years rising from Rookie ball to Milwaukee's Triple-A affiliate in Nashville. He got the call up to the big leagues on May 26 and made his Major League debut the same day.
While working through the Brewers system, Hand said he played alongside plenty of capable pitching prospects such as Johnny Hellweg, Jimmy Nelson, Michael Olmsted and Rob Wooten who are each currently with Triple-A Nashville.
"I see a lot of arms and hopefully they develop into pitchers instead of throwers," Hand said. "When you draft somebody, you know they can throw the ball hard, you know they got good stuff. You hope they can develop into pitchers and can pitch at this level sometime."
Hand noted Triple-A as the biggest adjustment for young pitching prospects, playing against former and future Major League hitters.
"That league's not easy," Hand said. "That league makes you pitch. You have to pitch, you have to learn how to pitch or you won't be there long.
"You catch a lot of big league hitters that have been in the big leagues at some point. You face a lot of prospects too," he added. "The stuff plays anywhere as far as velocity, good breaking ball, good changeup. It plays anywhere, but when do you learn how to pitch? When do you learn how to throw 2-0 changeups or maybe 0-2 fastballs?"
Another recent callup, second baseman Scooter Gennett, noted the development process as a fragile one for a young player.
Gennett was drafted in the 16th round by the Brewers in 2009 and was called up and made his Major League debut on June 3.
"I've been through each level. Not Rookie ball, but Single-A, Double-A, Triple-A," Gennett said. "They let you work through your struggles and develop you the right way. Every player is different, but they go through the process and let you work through everything."
Seid seemed to agree.
"We have a development program that we feel is pretty good," Seid said. "Our staff in the Minor Leagues has worked hard the last few years developing these guys. I think we'll be pretty happy with the results in the next year or two."

TUPELO — Tens of thousands of rats killed by Hurricane Isaac have washed up onto the beaches of Mississippi and created a foul-smelling mess that officials say will take days to clean up.
When the hurricane lifted the tides, the water washed across the marshy areas in Louisiana where the semi-aquatic rats live and forced them to ride the waves into Mississippi until they succumbed to exhaustion and drowned, said David Yarborough, a supervisor for Hancock County on the Gulf Coast.
The tides then deposited their bodies on the Mississippi shoreline, he said.
As of yesterday, about 16,000 of the rodents have been collected in Hancock County, where a hired contractor's clean-up efforts are expected to continue for another week, officials said.
In nearby Harrison County, officials decided to carry out the work themselves. Using shovels and pitchforks, workers have removed 16 tons of the dead rats from beaches since Saturday and taken them to a local landfill.
"We have an event called 'Cruisin' The Coast' the second week of October with 30,000 to 40,000 people on the beach, and we didn't want to wait to clean up," said Kim Savant, president of that county's Board of Supervisors.
Although they're smelly and disgusting, the dead rats pose no health risk to humans, said Brigid Elchos of the Mississippi Board of Animal Health.
Mississippi also dealt with dead rats after Hurricanes Katrina and Gustav, but officials said the current situation seems especially bad.
The beaches are closed to the public, but Yarborough said people have come anyway to see the littered beaches. The visitors usually don't stay long, possibly because the odour is intense on the shore and discernible from up to three miles away, he said.
In addition to the rats, workers also found dead hogs, deer, coyotes, snakes and rabbits on the beaches. (Reuters)
