Are everyday investors back in the market?
While mutual fund outflows are staggering, it could be that average investors are bypassing fund managers to buy individual stocks themselves.
Is the retail investor back, or not? The other day I propounded the notion that quintessential retail stocks, such as Apple (AAPL), Panera Bread (PNRA) and Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) keep running and I have to believe it is because of individuals buying stocks.
But the mutual fund outflows were also pretty staggering -- about $2.8 billion in the data released Thursday. That would seem to indicate my thesis might be wrong. Plus, my friend Bob Pisani from the floor made it really clear that the low volume is further confirmation that there really isn't much retail investing to speak of.
But what if we are all right? What if individuals have stopped caring for mutual funds -- the love affair over because of poor performance -- and they have decided to concentrate on buying actual stocks? Is that so far-fetched?
I haven't seen any other explanation for what doesn't seem to me to be mutual fund buying. Take Apple. We know the mutual funds are underinvested in the name. We have had exhaustive studies on the issue. Doesn't that mean individuals are buying the stock? Doesn't that mean people think they can do better than the managers themselves (which is something I wholeheartedly agree with)?
I think that stocks may be a shrinking asset class, but that individual stocks are actually being bought if the story is good and the product or service is loved.
Yep, this is an "out there" thesis, but unless someone has a better one, it's mine and I am sticking with it.

NAFTA from Clinton did more to kill jobs than the BUSH tax cuts ! Congress is bought and paid for by wall street! So once mor devaluing the US diollar with printing money is good from the FEDs ! NOT Obama ! The President controls gas prices as much as YOU DO ! I guess if people are told enough BS they start believing it ! so can you name any Jobs created by any tax cuts ? The feds do control the printing presses ? TWO unpaid for wars at the cost of 2 BILLION a week ? for over 10 yrs ? Can you add ? The value of our homes is about ZERO .

Feel free to point out anything i have said that is NOT TRUE. Besides your political BS.
The investing public is sick of poor fund returns and duplicitous Wall Street shenanigans that take and don't give back.
I consolidated all my tech holdings into AAPL last year but may consider HPQ too if it shows strength. Others are all divvy stocks of companies providing fundamental, necessary services. No funds at all, as they are just like the guys who used to care for my yard......they did a good job the first time, then it was all 15 minutes of blow and go from there. Fired them in 2 months. That's Wall Street today........a quick blow and go, and define that any way you want to and it still fits perfectly.
The republicans love big government as long as the US treasury bailout all the big banks out like they have and did ! This is NOT capitalism ! Now back in 08 the banks should have been left to fail because of THEIR SHADY mortgage practice ! Most mortgages at that time had PMI insurance because once more the banks lost their sound lending practices by requiring 20% down

You should stop watching Fox News, dude. It's just a running commercial for the anti-Obama crowd. He's not perfect, but he's done a lot of good things.He's (Obama) is a Communist by any definition. Man all the Acorn Political Hacks are out in force today! By Far Obama is the worst president in our History!
Well at least you made one honest statement only you failed to mention Obama is controlling them. Get rid of Obama and watch the economy improve! As a bonus we get some of our Freedom back he has taken!

Never elected to any office ? Never ran a company? The republicans hero ! LOL The President does not have the power to line item VETO! He must ok it with it all ? from congress or reject it ALL ! The whole thing ! Another thing the republicans control the house . RIGHT? So they control how long the house works , the bills that reach the floor for a vote , all the bills that are in play by any member they control what gets tabled and what goes to the floor for a VOTE. So i think you better google the US constitution and read it! 9/11 was a sad day for America !!!! But it did not have to cost 5 trillion dollars for two wars unpaid for ,and the TSA and the ports and the patriot ACT done by BUSH and a REPUBLICAN HOUSE ! That what has taken your rights you idiot BTW CAN YOU READ??? and the people who are fighting for what in AFG? It sure is not the US constitution !

By Sam Schechner
PARIS--An uptick in revenue helped network-equipment company Alcatel-Lucent SA (ALU.FR) narrow its loss in the third quarter, as the company slashes jobs and considers asset sales.
The Franco-American maker of everything from wireless antennas to submarine cables Thursday reported a net loss of 200 million euros ($275 million), or 9 cents per share, compared with EUR316 million, or 14 cents per share, a year earlier.
A boost in sales at its IP routing and wireless divisions helped the company swing to an adjusted operating profit of EUR116 million compared with a loss of EUR126 million a year earlier, ahead of analysts' expectations. Free cash flow loss lessened to EUR218 million compared with a EUR366 million loss a year earlier.
The results could show some early progress for Chief Executive Michel Combes, who is trying to push the company back into the black by slashing jobs and refocusing the former one-stop-shop for telecom equipment to a specialist in a few profitable areas. Alcatel-Lucent has lost money almost every year since it was created in the 2006 marriage of France's Alcatel and former AT&T equipment arm Lucent Technologies.
Earlier this month, Mr. Combes said he would cut 15% of the company's headcount, or 10,000 jobs, closing offices and moving its headquarters away from a spot next to the Eiffel Tower. Alcatel is also continuing to pursue more than EUR1 billion in asset sales to help it repay emergency loans it took out earlier this year using its most valuable businesses and patents as collateral.
Revenue in the third quarter rose 1.8% to EUR3.67 billion and would have grown 7% the company said at constant exchange rates.
North America--home to Alcatel's largest clients, AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc.-- was a source of particular growth. Revenue there was up 14% as the company benefited from spending on 4G wireless networks.
Earlier in the month, Ericsson, the world's largest maker of network equipment, reported a 6% quarter-to-quarter decline in U.S. sales, as phone companies there move toward completing their rollout of fast new 4G networks. On Wednesday evening, Alcatel said it had won a deal to supply a version of such equipment to U.S. operator Sprint.

History of Baseball in CubaBaseball came to Cuba in the 1860's. Brought by Cubans who studied in the United States and American sailors in Cuban ports. It quickly spread through the island and took heart with the Cuban people, who were fighting for their independence from Spain. We will follow Cuban Baseball from its social club beginnings and through its Golden age. Follow the rise of the Amateur Leagues and the resurgence of the Professional Leagues in the 1940's. The influence of American organized ball in the 50's and the end of professionalism in 1961. Also a look at how Baseball survives in Cuba today, with hope of a return to its splendid glory in the future.

Naseem's Back Bay Live / Work Space
House Tour
Name: Naseem Alizadeh of The Bureau for Architecture and Urbanism
Location: Boston, Massachusetts
Size: 600 square feet
Years lived in: 2
Yet again, I experienced apartment envy when I arrived to take photos of Naseem's Back Bay rental, a lovely home we first spotted in her Apartment Therapy House Call. It's easy to imagine the two years Naseem has lived here morphing into ten. This is the kind of place that would be hard to leave. The giant bowed windows, allowing in the most delightful natural light, the two (!) fireplaces, the white floored kitchen sandwiched between two lovely hardwood floored rooms, the dainty size of the place. I love it all.
Not to mention how beautifully Naseem has decorated on a budget, with a predominantly IKEA inventory, yet it feels nothing like an IKEA decorated apartment. How odd. Well, not really considering that Naseem recently launched her own architecture firm, Bureau for Architecture and Urbanism. And even more amazing, though her living room serves as the control center for her company, it doesn't feel like you're sitting in the middle of someone's home office. I tried to articulate to Naseem how it feels and it went something like this: "I feel inspired being in your living room slash office, and I can imagine sitting here watching a movie as a guest and once in a while glancing over at your dreamy desk and imagining that some great thinking and doing happens at that desk."
I think one of the major ways that Naseem manages to offset the IKEA-heavy furnishings is by incorporating beautiful, one-of-a-kind rugs in her living room and bedroom, all of which are from her parents' rug store. The Tibetan rug in the living room is especially dreamy. The creamy walls and abundant natural light create the perfect envelope for her spare, but intimate style. My mind felt free here. Naseem sprinkles just enough personal effects around the space to remind you that you're in a personal space, but not so many that they're overwhelming or distracting.
All told, Naseem's apartment left me feeling eager to suggest this young architect to the next person who's in the market for design services.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My style: Clean lines, light, warmth, and simplicity.
Inspiration: Swedish and Italian design.
Favorite Element: Getting good sunlight.
Biggest Challenge: Having the living room function as my office/studio as well, but I think it works.
What Friends Say: They have been very gracious, saying that it's an inspiring, inviting space.
Biggest Embarrassment: That a lot of the furniture is from IKEA. While I actually like IKEA, I say that it's embarrassing for 2 reasons — it's not good quality and it's not at all environmentally friendly.
Proudest DIY: While I have made some neat things in previous apartments (like a divan), I kind of feel like everything here was more or less one big DIY, especially in the kitchen. I painted things, sewed things, and now grow things! The white mesh Sculptura chair in the bedroom: I brought it back to life after spending +20 years exposed to the elements on my parents' deck.
Biggest Indulgence: Probably the apartment itself! I'm paying for location, location, location!
Best advice: Be resourceful, start with a simple color palette.
Dream source: I have so many, ranging from The Design Supermarket at La Rinascente in Milan to any decent flea market.

White done right!
Those orange chairs are amazing! I can't get enough of that shade lately!
Great use of bright color art and furnishings instead of painting walls.
Where is the tapestry in the kitchen from?
I like the overall scheme of the design and the space has some really great architectural details. I can see this evolve over time as the owner settles in. However, I have to disagree with the author. It does feel like you are in someone's office. In fact it feels like you are in the waiting room and the receptionist stepped away from her desk. I also wonder how much computer work someone can do at the desk with all that back light. I would experiment with moving the sofa in front of the desk (i would also remove the table at the entry (it's awkward).
Since it's only been 2 years, I would like to see the space again after a few more years.
@ NickWI: It says fabric by Ikea in description.
Nicely done, I love the colors and restraint. Broken links to access tour. Also, excellent photography. I got a nice overall feel of the place.
Clever, comfortable, luxurious, spare. It takes real wit to use mostly recycled/inexpensive furnishings & pull together a space the way you've done here. Congratulations.
a perfectly balanced live/work space. nicely done. wonderfully bright, warm, and inviting. the pillows and rugs and artwork are fantastic, as is the white chair in the bedroom and the kid's chair too. and i love the clean, white sofas. a lovely lovely space!
I like how nice and clean everything is. good job. Love the color.
I really love the way the white looks with just *pops* of color, but there is no way I'd be able to live in the space.
White and I are not always on speaking terms. I always get white dirty and she gets mad at me.
The tiny print in picture 5 over the fireplace made be giggle. Such a tiny print in such a large space, all by itself.
You did a wonderful job!
I think I've seen this place before..perhaps on flickr? Love the bright color furnishings against the white backdrop. Really lovely.
I also use that ikea dining room table as a desk. It is the perfect size!
Your apartment makes me miss Boston dearly. We just don't have places that look like this in Austin.
yes, color combination & juxtaposition are great! very nicely thought through & i like the use of the fabric in the kitchen.
Very pretty Naseem. I have to admit, I was looking Iranian artifacts throughout the tour. ;-)
Looks great! 1 question though. Is your bed Ikea Malm? If so how did you get it white? Thanks!!!!
What the MTB hell was that last post?
-------------------------------> zoom! *under the bed*
when you bought your rugs......did u purchase online?
Beautifully done and gorgeous! Can you tell me where you got the bench seat under the window in the kitchen?
Cute and colorful place. How lucky to have 2 fireplaces in only 600 sq. ft!
Overall - lovely job. A bit too sterile for me though. I would place larger framed art on the walls - not too many, but I feel you need a few more bold pieces on the walls. Groovy!
Hi all, this is Naseem, I can answer some questions. Thanks very much to those who like the space, I appreciate it. I have enjoyed reading the comments, esp. those who think that the space looks too sterile! I think that as an architect, I fall more to the side of sterility, and I don't like clutter to begin with. Usually when I have people come over I make it more "homey" (pillows come out, candles come on, more bouquets, move some furniture around, etc).
To answer some questions:
1.NickWI - yes, it's just a piece of fabric from Ikea!
2.LovelyFrugalHermit - thank you, I use those detergent pens on the white (a lot)
3.suzy8track - you are right, it's on flickr!
4.Zohreh - thanks, I have a few Iranian things here and there (obviously the some of the carpets) there is also a painted copper plate (blue) in the living room which is from Iran.
5.DanaD - yes, it's Malm and it's white.
6.msjessica - hi, I didn't get them online - I picked them out at the store ;). Personally, I think that because rugs can get pricey, it's better to go to the shop and see them in person and even try them out in your home (any good retail store should allow you to try them at home - that's what I learned growing up in a rug shop ;)
7.andrealew - the bench is IKEA! I believe that it's the Norden line.
thank you all
I have to disagree with the write-up. It looks very IKEA to me. But having said that - I still like it a lot!
Is that a print of a Chaplin-esque caricature in image 9? With the colorful string of light bulbs? I love it!
Very bright and cheerful. The fact you work and live in the same space is all that much more impressive. Well done!
What a wonderful Apartment ,it looks much bigger than 600 sq ft. I love every little detail. It is inspiring.
OK I am brave enough to admit here that I like IKEA. I think this place is lovely and well done. Don't be a snob about where furniture comes from. If you can afford it and it fits your sensibilities and needs then it is good. Bright, fun, practical, clean and uncluttered makes a place that I would love to live in. I certainly enjoyed seeing this tour. Thanks Naseem!
I love your bedroom. Very peaceful.
I am about to paint my apartment -- white ceiling and trim, with creamy, off-white walls...in other words, just like yours! Can you tell me what colors you used?
Many Thanks,
Oh boy, here we go with the IKEA rants again! I think that his home looks great, and I see nothing wrong with IKEA. It is great for us budget minded folks...plus, you can also get many IKEA items on Craigslist for super cheap too, so you CAN be environmentally conscious and have IKEA in your home.
Beautiful, clean, bright, cheery. I love it! Although I have two littles in my house and all white like that would drive me insane. I'd totally do it if I didn't have children or furbabies.
I'm like suzy8track though...I attempt to buy my IKEA finds on CL and Kijiji so I'm helping in some manner ecologically.
A lovely expression of this particular aesthestic. FUlly committed to a vision and boy did it pay off. Kudos.
love this!!
love the use of fabrics. one question. where is the wire chair in your bedroom from?
Yep, as a few others have said, it DOES look IKEA, and it DOES look great. IKEA works wonderfully when it works, and Naseem has done a great job adding style and interest to inexpensive pieces. Just the kind of thing I come to AT to see! Thanks.
Hello -
For islek - that print is the work of Blanca Gomez. I believe her work is availabe on Etsy.
For Erica - actually I didn't paint it, it came that way! The trim (so anything wood) is a pure white. The walls and ceilings are a light cream, so there is a slight distinction between the two (walls and trim). Hope that helps.
For OCJen - it's a Russel Woodard Sculptura chair (mid-century). My parents had it since I can remember...
For the very interesting Ikea comments - great food for thought. I really like (and respect) the idea of getting it second hand. Thanks again for the insightful and nice comments.
Lovely, open, airy space. I don't get along well with white either and I have a black cat, or else I'd be living with more white upholstery, too. :) Your apartment is laid out really well for 600 sq. ft.--really great bones.
Hi Michelle, thank you. Believe it or not, I got that Danesi piece for free, while I was working in Milan.
Awwwww, man, you made me drool on my keyboard! I just love it so completely. Colour, colour, colour! (I'm not even British, but feel the need to add the "u" to a place this sophisticated!)
Thank you for making me smile. Huge smile!
I wouldn't be too embarrassed to shop at Ikea because it isn't very "environmentally friendly." The company actually buys a lot of certified well-managed wood and they've virtually eliminated formaldehyde in all their pressed wood products so it's healthier than most cheap furniture. And they've started introducing organic cotton/wool/natural latex mattresses. So, yes, the stuff doesn't last very long and isn't environmentally friendly in that sense. But you could do a lot worse when shopping for (new) cheap furniture.
And no, I don't work for Ikea.
But I do love the apartment! One question, though. How do you plug in your computer cords if they're all gathered in that plastic box? Is there a white extension cord that isn't visible?
Hi Emily,
Thanks for the info - I haven't seen any of that advertised by Ikea and I have been looking! I'm glad that you like the apartment. You guessed correctly - if you look closely, there is a white extension cord that runs along the floor and feeds behind the shelf on the left.
Thanks also to blondrea!!
Hello, I was wondering what storage unit was used under the work desk? I love the color and would like to get one. Thank you
Hi nastasia - I believe that it's the Erik from IKEA, but they don't seem to have it in that bright yellow anymore....(at least on their website they don't).
love this

Lubbock-Cooper High School is enjoying a record-setting volleyball season. Already 28 victories (most in program history), a district championship, a berth in regional's and now, just two wins from the school's first ever trip to the state tournament.
"It's been an incredible season," head volleyball coach, Courtney Pesterfield said. "We have eight seniors on this team which is unusual to have that many. But when I started they were in eighth grade and they've gone through the system and have completely bought in."
Cooper volleyball isn't new to success. Their gymnasium is filled with commemorative banners from past years and last season they finished undefeated in district play. But despite the program's regular season success, they lost early in last year's district tournament, continuing a trend of early postseason exits.
"We came into this season very motivated," senior Kati Macha said. "We wanted to show people that we are a good team and that we are capable of doing big things and building on the past."
That motivation was felt team-wide. Even prompting the creation of the mantra "Next Level", a message the team has carried with them throughout summer workouts all the way through this record-setting season.
"Next level has been the most motivating thing to happen since my freshman year," senior Katy Headrick said. "Whether it's in practice, the weight room, or a game, we are always striving to take things to the next level."
"The team, the school, our fans have completely bought into 'Next Level'", Pesterfield said. "We have reached the next level as far as reaching regionals, now we want to go even further, win more games and take it to the state tournament."
Next up for Cooper is Stephenville. A former 4-A school that moved to 3-A before this season. The match is Friday at 3 o'clock p.m. at Snyder High School.

(PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER) After seven years as a biochemical researcher, years more dabbling as a partner in a Charlottesville, Va., bar, and medical school in the Caribbean island of Grenada, Steve Massof said it was time to go to his "backup plan" – become a doctor.
But finding a medical residency program was tough for someone looking in the "offseason" and just starting to take the licensing exams.
Then, Massof said, his brother-in-law, a pharmaceutical firm representative, told him about a West Philadelphia doctor he regularly visited: Kermit Gosnell.

|FAQs About Primary Care Specialties
What is the difference between a Family Practitioner and Internal Medicine doctor?
Both Family Practitioners and Internal Medicine doctors provide comprehensive and preventative health care, and treat a broad scope of illnesses and injuries. They also coordinate their patients' medical care - including checkups, immunizations, referrals to specialists, lab and x-ray services, and hospital admissions.
Family Practitioners (also known as general practitioners or family physicians) provide health care for all ages and both genders and often treat the whole family. They educate patients about important health care issues and treat acute and chronic illnesses, including colds, flus and aches and pains.
Doctors of Internal Medicine (also known as Internists) specialize in preventing, diagnosing and treating a broad range of diseases that specifically affect adults. Internal Medicine doctors do not treat children.
At what age should my child start seeing a Pediatrician?
Children should start seeing a pediatrician as soon as they are born. Pediatricians are primary care physicians who specialize in treating children from infants to teenagers. They provide annual medical exams, immunizations, and care for a wide range of chronic and acute conditions.
What is a Geriatrician?
Geriatricians are primary care physicians who are board-certified in either family practice or internal medicine, and have additional training in health care issues that affect adults later in life. They focus on preventative health care and the treatment of disease and disability for individuals age 65 or older. They tend to focus on a holistic approach and pay close attention to how medical, social and psychological problems contribute to each patient's condition. Individuals with multiple medical problems or diseases exclusive to older adults will receive the most benefit from treatment and care by a geriatrician.
What is an Advanced Practice Nurse (APN)?
Advanced Practice Nurses (APN), are registered nurses who provide primary health care services. Most have a master's or doctoral degree in nursing, and have advanced education, skills and scope of practice. APNs can diagnose illness, prescribe medication and provide preventative care and health education.
What is a Physician Assistant (PA)?
Physician Assistants are non-physician clinicians licensed to practice medicine under the supervision of a physician. They obtain medical histories and perform exams, order treatments, diagnose illnesses, prescribe medication and interpret diagnostic tests.

from the if-anything-happens-to-me dept.
Jason Koebler writes With all the conspiracy theories surrounding some high-profile deaths in recent years, how can you, theoretical whistleblower with highly sensitive documents, be assured that your information gets leaked if you're murdered in some government conspiracy? A new dark web service says it's got your back. "Dead Man Zero" claims to offer potential whistleblowers a bit more peace of mind by providing a system that will automatically publish and distribute their secrets should they die, get jailed, or get injured.

Bustos begins her new job in nation's capitol
January 04, 2013
The new Congress was sworn in yesterday, and one of the new members is Cheri Bustos from the Quad Cities. The democrat from East Moline was elected in November to represent Illinois' 17th district.
After officially joining the 113th Congress, Bustos issued a statement:
"As this newest session of Congress is called to order, I'm incredibly honored and humbled to have the opportunity to represent the hardworking families of Illinois' 17th District. From Rockford to the Quad-Cities to Peoria and everywhere in between, I will work day in and day out with a spirit of bi-partisanship and Midwestern common sense to bring jobs, economic opportunity and a better future to communities across the district."
Her swearing in also marks the end for republican Bobby Schilling from Colona who lost to Bustos in November. He ended his term this week voting against the fiscal cliff compromise that was approved by the House and Senate.

How Words Cast Their Spell
Spelling Is an Integral Part of Learning the Language, Not a Matter of Memorization
By R. Malatesha Joshi, Rebecca Treiman, Suzanne Carreker, and Louisa C. Moats
To those who haven't had the benefit of language-based spelling instruction, English spelling seems terribly confusing—so many sounds with multiple spellings (e.g., eight and ate) and so many spellings with multiple sounds (e.g., the ch in church and chorus). It's no wonder that spelling instruction often focuses on memorization, with flashcards and weekly quizzes. But researchers have found that there is a better way. By emphasizing the sound-letter correspondences and then adding in some history of the language, spelling instruction becomes more effective—and improves students' reading and writing too.

What Will Improve a Student's Memory?
By Daniel T. Willingham
Since the primary focus of school is learning new knowledge and skills, wouldn't it make sense for students to know how memory works? With this column and related demonstration lessons, teachers can show their students how to commit things to memory, avoid forgetting, and judge when they've studied enough.

Why Teach Labor History? (PDF)

Union members have played a significant role in democratizing America and humanizing the workplace. From pushing for mine safety laws and workers' compensation to helping raise the minimum wage, the labor movement has been—and continues to be—a positive force for change.

Oral Cancer Prevention
Doctors cannot always explain why one person gets cancer and another does not. However, scientists have studied general patterns of cancer in the population to learn what things around us and what things we do in our lives may increase our chance of developing cancer.
Anything that increases a person's chance of developing a disease is called a risk factor; anything that decreases a person's chance of developing a disease is called a protective factor. Some of the risk factors for cancer can be avoided, but many cannot. For example, although you can choose to quit smoking, you cannot choose which genes you have inherited from your parents. Both smoking and inheriting specific genes could be considered risk factors for certain kinds of cancer, but only smoking can be avoided. Prevention means avoiding the risk factors and increasing the protective factors that can be controlled so that the chance of developing cancer decreases.
Although many risk factors can be avoided, it is important to keep in mind that avoiding risk factors does not guarantee that you will not get cancer. Also, most people with a particular risk factor for cancer do not actually get the disease. Some people are more sensitive than others are to factors that can cause cancer. Talk to your doctor about methods of preventing cancer that might be effective for you.
Purposes of this summary
The purposes of this summary on oral cancer prevention are to:
You can talk to your doctor or health care professional about cancer prevention methods and whether these methods would be likely to help you.
Oral cancer prevention
Significance of oral cancer
Oral cancer may develop in any of 3 main areas:
Salivary glands are located throughout the oral cavity and oropharynx.
The most common type of oral cancer is squamous cell carcinoma, which begins in the thin, flat cells that line the oral cavity. Squamous cell carcinoma usually develops from lesions on the mucous membranes, including leukoplakia (white patches) and erythroplakia (red patches). Other types of oral cancer include lymphoma, sarcoma, melanoma, and salivary gland tumors.
Oral cancer occurs more often in men. The number of women with tongue cancer, however, has increased in recent years.
Oral cancer prevention
Oral cancer is sometimes associated with known risk factors for the disease. Many risk factors can be modified but not all can be avoided.

MARINETTE, WI (WTAQ) -Just hours after a devastating bat disease was confirmed in Wisconsin, we learned that it's knocking on the state's territorial door from Upper Michigan.
The DNR in that state said Thursday that white nose syndrome was confirmed in bats located in three counties -- including Dickinson County in the UP, which is very close to Marinette and Florence counties in far northeast Wisconsin.
Officials have warned us for several years that white-nose syndrome would hit Wisconsin at any time, after it was found close to the Badger State in neighboring Iowa and Illinois.
Thursday, the Wisconsin DNR said the disease finally arrived. It was confirmed in bats hibernating at an old mine in Grant County in the southwest part of the state.
Officials were quick to point out that white-nose syndrome does not directly affect humans. But it does have the potential to wipe out entire species of bats that protect people, by eating the bugs that damage farm crops and the infectious mosquitoes that could give you Lyme disease or the West Nile virus.
It also affects tourism, as many cave visitors must wipe their shoes so they don't spread anything.
White-nose syndrome has killed nearly six million bats in the U.S. and northeast Canada since it was first spotted in New York in 2006.

What other readers are saying about this title:
EmilyEm said:
One of the world's best mystery writers pens a crime novel and sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. James certainly takes us for an engaging ride back to Pemberley and events one autumn surrounding an annual event called Lady Anne's Ball. The questions those who love Austen's book always have at the ending get answers. Will Wickham and Lydia ever be satisfied with life? Can Darcy overcome his fear for sister Georgiana? Will Georgiana find a husband to love as much as her brother and Elizabeth have? It's not exactly like reading P. D. James or Jane Austen, but it's enough. I'm happy the Baroness James of Holland Park put her love of Jane into one more book for all of us.

Grandma Barbara said:
I love Jane Austin but I've gone off PD James several books ago- on balance, I thought I'd give this a try. Somehow I expected James to change her style to a more Austin-ish optimism and good cheer. My bad. Humorless and arrogant, as usual. An interesting editorial flaw is three instances of detailed narrative repeated for no apparent reason: not to display another's point of view, not to emphasize and important point – no reason I could see. One involved lighting candles in the gun room, one involved Darcy's grandpa, and the last in the wrap-up of the mystery. Like her or not, you at least expect competent writing from PD James. Not recommended.

It's too late for me, but save yourselves! This book doesn't just fail both as an Austen sequel and as a James mystery, it fails as any kind of mystery, it fails as historical fiction, and it fails as fiction, period. My resentful compliments to the jacket designers and marketing people, but where oh where were the editors?

Such a disappointment and waste of my reading time. There was no mystery to puzzle out, just a boring narrative of a murder and subsequent trial. Nearly no dialog between Darcy and Elizabeth, so why even bother writing this? Boring, boring, boring.

Market's tumble is far from over
Tuesday's sell-off, driven by political turmoil in Europe and weak economic data, knocks out major technical support levels.
Stocks dropped Tuesday as investors belatedly reacted to weekend electoral victories by anti-bailout, left-leaning politicians in Greece and France -- wins that threaten the German-led austerity-focused status quo in the eurozone. The losses would have happened on Monday, but chatter of a potential bailout of the Spanish banking system tempered the selling pressure.
No matter. They happened Tuesday as the leader of a potential far-left Greek coalition government chafed against the German-led austerity-for-bailouts status quo that has plunged Greece into its fifth year of recession and pushed the unemployment rate to a record 22%. Markets are not happy and have taken out critical support levels in the process. As a result, stocks are threatening to return to levels not seen since December.
All this is being driven by some disturbing headlines of out Greece. The pro-bailout New Democracy party, part of the current coalition government, has failed to secure enough support to govern. That gives the second-place far-left, anti-bailout Syriza party a chance.
Now the leader of the party has claimed the election nullifies Athens' bailout pledges, has threatened to halt new budget austerity measures and debt payments, and is exploring nationalization of the banking system.
After years of European leaders doing and saying things to placate the markets, this was rather shocking for people. The euro plunged against the dollar in response as traders headed for the exits. That was enough to push the exchange rate down through the critical 1.30 dollars per euro handle at one point, a level that's been an important line in the sand since 2006 -- with excursions, such as the initial 2010 panic over the first Greek bailout, quickly reversed.
There was weakness everywhere as the euro-dollar exchange rate acts as an important source of capital for hedge fund carry trades, on which people sell dollars to buy risk-on assets like copper and crude oil. As the euro weakens and the dollar strengthens, these traders must be reversed frantically.
Thus commodities, which are particularly sensitive to the undulations of the dollar, are being smashed. The U.S. Oil Fund (USO) fell 1.3% toward mid-December lows.
But the real dramatics happened in the stock market as the NYSE Composite ($NYA) broke neckline support of a big multimonth head-and-shoulders reversal pattern. The pattern traces down to mid-December levels and suggests the sell-off is far from over.
You can see this in the way cyclical, economically sensitive sectors and small-cap stocks are leading the decline. That's a sign investors are in risk-off mode. And it provides short side opportunities for nimble traders.
For conservative investors, I recommend moving to cash.
Trading update
I expanded my Edge Letter Sample Portfolio's short positioning Tuesday morning with the addition of three new short ideas: Nabors Industries (NBR), Freeport (FCX), and HollyFrontier (HFC). Both NBR and HFC are in energy. FCX is in materials and is being pulled down by the drop in copper and gold.
My existing materials shorts are doing very well as steel stocks are pummeled. Highlights include a 10% gain in Gerdau USA (GGB) short and a 8% gain in AKSteel (AKS) short.
Disclosure: Anthony has recommended NBR short and GBG short to his newsletter subscribers.

1-day chart: ahhh the sky is falling!!!
1-month chart: wow this is a lumpy upward trending roller coaster
3-month chart: this roller coaster is still kinda lumpy but not really very exciting
YTD chart: hmmm generalized upward trend with a few dips
1-year chart: bit of a dip in mid-late 2011 but hey, we're actually looking pretty good...
5-year chart: wow we hit a bad point in 2009, but my god look at how far we've come
to all the chicken littles, maybe if you quit running in circles like the proverbial headless chicken, cease with the incessant overreaction to every little market burp, and focus on a longer-term trending, maybe we could ride this out with some sense of decorum and a degree of success...?
just a thought.
or we could go with pointless mass hysteria. rioting is so much more fun when you're with the right people, so let me know before we all start.

15 Spooktacular Outdoor Halloween Decorations
Trick and treat your neighbors with these wicked ways to transform your front door, porch, or yard for Halloween.
Eyeball Wreath
To create this eerie embellishment, you'll need about eight dozen glow-in-the-dark rubber eyeballs ($7.99 for 12; amazon.com) and a 12-inch foam wreath form ($2.59 for three; createforless.com). Wrap the form in black crepe streamers and secure with straight pins. Poke a hole in the back of one eyeball with the sharp end of a flatheaded pin; then insert the pin's flat end into the hole. Using a thimble to protect your finger, press the pin halfway in. Push the sharp end of the pin into the form. Repeat until the wreath is full and hang as desired.

I just claimed the last of mine …I'm up the creek if this doesn't pass and I don't find a job soon…I have been really looking there is nothing out there ..I lost my job because they "downsized" another words they cut out that job position altogether
Karen In TX
Karen In Texas
I live in FL and after I claim the last 2 weeks I also have one week left.
My daughter lives in NYC as an IT recruiter. Between she and I, we have sent out two to three hundred resumes. I have gotten a call back on maybe one.
I am over 55, how could I possibly be where I am at my age? Educated, etc. Just so depressed.
I'm finding the only jobs out there are part-time jobs (no benefits). I've applied to every one of them. I've had several interviews. It's better than nothing. And I think a lot of these PT job companies know most applicants will probably leave when the economy gets better.
HR 7110 is a bad bill it is the 56 billion dollar stimulus that was never meant to pass, 7110 is the reason we do not have an unemployment extension, 7110 is why the democrats have refused to allow unemployment to be added to the CR or the bailout, 7110 is a political ploy used to manipulate voters int thinking the democrats tried to get an unemployment extension but the Pugs wouldn't let them.
7110 is a insult to our intelligence. By pushing 7110 we will never get anything we need to focus on just getting an unemployment extension.
This bill will never pass it is just lip service to help the democrats get more votes in the election.
Don't be a sheeple
Can we try to keep a positive tone on this forum, please.
First off there is no way the Dems could add the UI extension to the bailout bill. It would have made that mess… messier.
Who cares if the extension passes under HR7110 or VXYZ. The Dems are doing the best they can to implement it before the break. The blame game does no one any good. Let's see what happens over the next few days.
Most of us are stressed out to the max anyway, let's try not to make it worse amongst ourselves!
Positive absolutely but we must be honest we should not have people waste there efforts. We need to focus an unemployment extension that can pass. This bill can not pass everyone knows that. When making your calls just ask an unemployment extension not this stimulus, this stimulus is bad and hurts our cause.
Positive yes but we should net let people use this forum to manipulate people to push for things that are against their interests. 7110 is the reason that we do not have an extension yet.
the leaders have refused to allow for an unemployment extension to be added to any other bills like the bailout or the CR that passed with a veto proof majority.
They are doing that to keep it in the stimulus(this bill)which is not meant to pass, the purpose of this bill is to provide a list of no votes for the upcoming election. People will be outraged that there is no extension, and polotitions will claim that they tried to pass unemployment but couldn't
This is McCain here. Listen up crackers, we don't have the money to give to you lazy types. The money has already been spent trying to keep the banks open. After all what good would an Unemployment check do if you couldnt cash it? Gosh. Get a job hippy.
you know what the truth about the unemploymnet extinsion is, and if you start blasting republicans and telling lies the republicans will start doing the same back and turn this forum into a very unproductive and bad place. This is not an election forum
McCain (again). Listen here waffle heads, if we give you money to sit around, our healthcare costs will go up from all the clogged arteries. We Republicans know what we are doing. We already spent your money on Wall street. Do you think money grows on trees?

Nearly $4,000 worth of donated meat was stolen from an outdoor freezer at a Seattle food bank Friday night.
Providence Regina House food bank in South Park feeds hundreds of families.
"Not only did they break the lock off, there was a padlock here but they broke the whole mechanism," said Paige Collins, Providence Regina House manager.
Between 15 and 17 bins of food were taken the night before the food bank's busiest distribution day. On Saturday, hundreds of families lined up around the block for food baskets. About 550 families or up to 3,000 people are served each week.
"It's a total bummer," said Collins.
According to Collins, the stealer is no stranger. It's believed he's a client. The man is in his early 20s was spotted trying to sell the stolen meat at a bus stop the night of the robbery.
"It hurts your feelings at the same time, and it sucks you're like oh I feed him. It's so wrong," said Collins.
"It's like robbing from all of the community, from everybody," said Rocio Camacho, who receives assistance from the food bank.
News of the theft is upsetting to other clients.
"I'd punch him and maybe run away. I don't know what he looks like but I'd do something," said Camacho.
Community members appalled by the crime are also taking action.
"Once word got around it was like, let's get them. The neighborhood is very protective of the food bank," said Collins.
Neighbors have even offered to guard the freezer.
Financial donations, many upwards of $100 each, are coming in. While a surveillance camera is pointed towards the freezer, the food bank doesn't have access to the video yet.
Collins estimates fixing the freezer's lock will cost about $500, until that's done, meat won't be stored there.
