Stocks fall on jobs, GDP data
US unemployment claims dip, while an estimate on economic growth holds steady. Global markets tumble. European confidence drops unexpectedly. Gold rises, while oil declines.
Updated at 1:18 p.m. ET
U.S. stocks were sliding for a third day after initial jobless claims missed expectations amid losses in European markets.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) was down 61.9 points at 13,064. The S&P 500 ($INX) was down 11.2 points at 1,394 and the the Nasdaq ($COMPX) was down 29 points at 3,075.
Stocks fell Wednesday along with commodities. Materials and energy stocks dragged down the market amid disappointing domestic and European economic data. A report on durable goods in the U.S. saw bounce in February, although one that was less than expected.
The number of Americans filing for first-time unemployment benefits fell 5,000 to 359,000 for the week ended March 24 from a revised 364,000 in the prior week. Economists expected claims to come in at 350,000 from an orginally reported 348,000.
Also Thursday, the government announced its third read on economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2011. The Bureau of Economic Analysis' third estimate on fourth-quarter GDP held steady at 3%, in line with expectations. The growth rate is up from 1.8% annualized growth rate in the third quarter although still worrisome, especially given that growth is expected to pull back going into the first quarter of 2012.
Post continues below.
"The pace of improvement is leveling out and while GDP was not revised the sub components were a bit better for the economy with better final sales and a downtick in the inventory contribution," said David Ader, strategist with CRT Capital.
European stocks were down ahead of a meeting in Copenhagen on Friday where European governments will aim to increase the rescue firewall in the region. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is expected to allow the increase.
The European Commission also said an index of executive and consumer sentiment fell to a reading of 94.4 in March from a revised 94.5 in February.
On Thursday, Germany's DAX ended down 1.77%, while London's FTSE lost 1.1%. The Hong Kong Hang Seng closed down 1.32%, while the Nikkei Average in Japan finished lower by 0.67% overnight.
In corporate news, Best Buy (BBY), the electronics retailer, reported fiscal fourth-quarter profit of $2.47 a share, excluding items, on revenue of $16.73 billion. Analysts were expecting profit of $2.16 a share on revenue of $17.2 billion. Same-store sales dipped 2.4%; Wall Street was expecting a decline of 0.6%.
Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche increased its unsolicited offer for Illumina (ILMN) to $51 a share, valuing the U.S. diagnostics company at more than $6.5 billion. Roche's previous offer of $44.50 a share was rejected by Illumina's board as being too low. Illumina told its shareholders to "take no action at this time."
Red Hat (RHT), the open source software company, posted earnings in the February-ended quarter that topped analysts' estimates. Red Hat reported a non-GAAP adjusted profit of $57.2 million, or 29 cents a share, on revenue of $297 million, up more than 20% from last year. Analysts were expecting earnings of 27 cents a share on revenue of $291.2 million. The company also unveiled a $300 million buyback program.
Red Lion Hotels (RLH) announced plans to explore strategic options. The company said its board has hired Bank of America Merrill Lynch to look at ways to "maximize shareholder value, including a potential sale of the company or a strategic combination with a third party."
May oil futures were down $1.98 to $103.43. April gold futures were shedding $10.20 to $1,647.70 an ounce.
The dollar index was 0.19% higher. The benchmark 10-year Treasury was up 12/32 diluting the yield to 2.163%.
Just the usual Obamanomics drivil...
I see that the Obama Budget lost in the house 414 - 0. Not even a single Democrat could vote for his Tax and Spend Budget. Not one wanted to be on record as wanting massive tax increases and massive new spending. This has to show you just how clueless Obama truely is.
Mr. Obama got his vote on HIS budget. Shameful. One democrat even said it was equivelent to his communist manifesto... I'd hate to be him when the phone rings, "Please hold for Mr. Obama"...
And of course the Senate has not passed a budget in years... This years didn't even come up for a vote. I wonder if Obama's would lose again 97-0.
Sadly this President and the Demcorats refuse to lead. They just stall. And the try to pin the label on Republicans as the party of No... Seems with EVERY democrat in Congress voting against Obamanomics their self preservation instincts are kicking in....
Chinese firm surpasses Exxon in
oil production
This is another statement that CONFIRMS we are getting screwed by the oil companies. They use the excuse that China is taking all of our oil, you jack asses they are producing more oil than Exxon. How are they taking all of our oil? They can feed us all this BS because we have no way of proving them wrong until statements like this are made. Just like the economy, they say it's getting better, bull****! Today's headlines read Best Buy to close 50 stores, yea it sounds like things are getting better. Almost every day you read something like this but the economy is getting better. The economy will only get better when gas prices come down and stay down. We have no confidence in our leaders to help us out. We come out of a depression in 08 thinking we were going to be okay and then gas shot back up again and is staying there now, we are not falling for this again. You will never see us spend like we use to, first of all we don't have it because of gas and food prices and secong of all we know if it would happen to drop down to where we could afford it it won't stay down long. The American dream don't exist anymore. It's American survival now!
Swag, I said $200 billion is a start. I would prefer to see defense cut in half too. $400 billion would save $4 trillion over 10 years. That would go a long way to help balance our budget. And we need to spend $2 trillion on public works projects over the next 10 years. That's a lot of jobs all going toward rebuilding our country that is falling apart.
Just no "bridge to nowhere" please!!!
Why is anyone not covered by Health Insurance? Are people holding guns to their heads saying we will not allow you to buy healthcare coverage? No.
So what is the reason people choose to go without? Is it because they CHOOSE to lead unhealthy life styles> Do they wait until they are truely sick and then realize they gambled and lost? Did they choose flat screen TV's and cell phones over healthcare coverage? Didi they buy a car or house instead of healthcare coverage?
Mr. Obama could have just "mandated" that those without coverage BUY their own. Instead he tried to mandate that others pay for their coverage and for those without. Typical socialist approach to a problem.
He could have expanded Medicare to to cover everyone, and raised the tax to close to 15% to pay for it. Before government involvement with Medicare and Medicaid, Healthcare consumed 7% of GDP, today that number is 17%, which means universal healthcare requires a 17% tax to cover its cost.
Why people have faith in the government for the healthcare is beyond me. Government is the problem, not the solution....
There are many variations of the multiplier effect, but in essence it measures the circulation of currency in a local economy. Your income is spent, which becomes someone else's income. When they spend that, it becomes another's income, ad infinitum until that dollar leaves the system via the purchase of an import.

Pharmacy Technician
Pharmacy Technician Jobs
Pharmacy Technician Overview
Working as a Pharmacy Technician consists of more than simply counting pills under the direction of a pharmacist. These technicians perform a variety of other tasks, including customer service and clerical duties. Although Pharmacy Technicians often do work under the supervision of pharmacists to help them mix, measure and label pills and dosages, there is much more to the job than simply working behind the scenes as an assistant. Pharmacy Technicians are expected to interact with the public by greeting them, answering questions and assisting them with insurance and payment processing.
Pharmacy Technician Education Requirements
The minimum education requirement for Pharmacy Technician jobs is a high school diploma or equivalent. Because Pharmacy Technicians are expected to count and measure pills and operate a cash register, which may require making change, they should have knowledge of basic math and English skills. No experience is required to be a Pharmacy Technician as on-the-job training is typically provided. However, people with certification in pharmaceutical studies at a technical school or some degree of experience in the field might be given more preference for jobs than other candidates.
Pharmacy Technician Job Market
Because people are always in need of medications, the job market for Pharmacy Technicians has a positive outlook. Statistics project that there will be a 20 percent increase in the amount of Pharmacy Technicians employed from 2012 to 2022 as the health care industry expands. Other Pharmacy jobs in a pharmacy include being a Pharmacy Assistant.
Pharmacy Technician Salary
The median annual salary for a Pharmacy Technician is $29,320. Pharmacy Technicians who are employed at general medical and surgical hospitals, federal executive branches, colleges, universities, physicians' offices and outpatient care centers can expect to be on the higher end of the pay scale, earning as much as $40,650 annually. Additionally, those who have obtained certification as a Pharmacy Technician tend to earn more than those who merely possess a high school diploma.

My goal is the EC. Last neap tide in Sept. I am a 51 years old woman. My strategy is to handle the cold well, even though the Channel is warmer in Sept. I plan to have a longer swim than most as I can be a slow poke. So dealing with cold is essential to my success.
I have been working on my winter swimming acclimatization since January. With success and joy if I may add-never thought I would enjoy something so brutal. I go into Lake Zurich 4 times a week, 4-6 degrees about 8 to 10 minute so far, usually during lunch. Though I really love it, there are a few side effects that begin to affect my pool time, and I wanted to check this with the experienced swimmers in here.
1) How often and how long should I increase or decrease the winter swims to? Should I try for fewer but longer sessions in the week so I can recover better. I know that I can stay in longer, but I have been being gentle with my poor body. I notice that it really drains me though at the end of the day.
2) I am also now having problems with over heating in the pool. If I do sprints I just have heat waves, and my cheeks are burning hot. I don't wear a swim cap anymore as it holds the heat in. All in all, I feel I am on a good way and I enjoy my training, but I would appreciate to hear your experience. Many thanks!

The Syngenta Field Report features information and experts from Syngenta sharing observations about issues growers are dealing with in the fields.
CO2 assimilation is one part of the process of photosynthesis. Plants require water, light and carbon dioxide to produce energy during photosynthesis, and the more efficient a plant is at fixing carbon during the dark reaction of photosynthesis, the more efficient it is at producing energy.
Azoxystrobin is responsible for improving the assimilation of carbon dioxide (CO2), which enhances plant photosynthesis. Azoxystrobin essentially enhances the plant's ability to produce energy for a crop. This means more efficient use of the sun's energy, resulting in a healthier plant and higher yields.

UNDATED (WKZO) --State Officials have handed out the grants, tax breaks and other incentives they are using to attract business expansion in the state and millions of those dollars are coming to South West Michigan:
It's been revealed that Perrigo has big expansion plans at both their facilities in Allegan and Holland Township. The Michigan Strategic Fund has announced they have expanded its maximum allowance for new jobs under its MEGA tax Credit by 650. 400 of the new jobs would support a 200-million dollar plant expansion at the former JB Laboratories location in Holland Township. They will also add 42-milion dollars in infrastructure and equipment to their facilities in Allegan, near their headquarters that would create another 250 jobs. Work would begin this spring, and hiring might begin toward the end of this year.
Fair Oaks Farm Brands of Coopersville has received a $900-thousand dollar grant from the state to support their plans to build a $127-million dollar facility in Coopersville, to make nutritionally enhanced liquid milk products. The new plant would create 133 jobs.Coopersville is chipping in a 12-year property tax abatement.
The City Of Battle Creek has a couple of major new developments in the pipeline, that have just won Business Development Program Grants.--Cosma International is planning to spend $162-million to open an automotive casting components and systems facility, which could eventually create 572 new jobs.

Some interesting calculations are being made at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
The Republican-oriented business group is launching TV ads in U.S. Senate races in four states, and targeting 17 House contests across the country. According to the Associated Press, the multi-million dollar buy hits Democratic incumbents over President Barack Obama's health care overhaul and the administration's energy policies.
The only Democrat getting a boost from the chamber is U.S. Rep. John Barrow, now of Augusta:
Speaking of the endangered political center, after his defeat last night, U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., issued two statements. One was a dab of pablum that thanked Indiana voters, etc. The other amounted to an indictment of a polarized political process. From the Evansville, Ind., Courier Press:
The truth is that the headwinds in this race were abundantly apparent long before Richard Mourdock announced his candidacy. One does not highlight such headwinds publically when one is waging a campaign. But I knew that I would face an extremely strong anti-incumbent mood following a recession. I knew that my work with then-Senator Barack Obama would be used against me, even if our relationship were overhyped. I also knew from the races in 2010 that I was a likely target of Club for Growth, FreedomWorks and other Super Pacs dedicated to defeating at least one Republican as a purification exercise to enhance their influence over other Republican legislators.
We undertook this campaign soberly and we worked very hard in 2010, 2011, and 2012 to overcome these challenges. There never was a moment when my campaign took anything for granted. This is why we put so much effort into our get out the vote operations.
Ultimately, the re-election of an incumbent to Congress usually comes down to whether voters agree with the positions the incumbent has taken. I knew that I had cast recent votes that would be unpopular with some Republicans and that would be targeted by outside groups.
These included my votes for the TARP program, for government support of the auto industry, for the START Treaty, and for the confirmations of Justices Sotomayor and Kagan. I also advanced several propositions that were considered heretical by some, including the thought that Congressional earmarks saved no money and turned spending power over to unelected bureaucrats and that the country should explore options for immigration reform.
It was apparent that these positions would be attacked in a Republican primary. But I believe that they were the right votes for the country, and I stand by them without regrets, as I have throughout the campaign….
If Mr. [Richard] Mourdock is elected, I want him to be a good Senator. But that will require him to revise his stated goal of bringing more partisanship to Washington. He and I share many positions, but his embrace of an unrelenting partisan mindset is irreconcilable with my philosophy of governance and my experience of what brings results for Hoosiers in the Senate. In effect, what he has promised in this campaign is reflexive votes for a rejectionist orthodoxy and rigid opposition to the actions and proposals of the other party. His answer to the inevitable roadblocks he will encounter in Congress is merely to campaign for more Republicans who embrace the same partisan outlook. He has pledged his support to groups whose prime mission is to cleanse the Republican party of those who stray from orthodoxy as they see it.
This is not conducive to problem solving and governance. And he will find that unless he modifies his approach, he will achieve little as a legislator. Worse, he will help delay solutions that are totally beyond the capacity of partisan majorities to achieve. The most consequential of these is stabilizing and reversing the Federal debt in an era when millions of baby boomers are retiring. There is little likelihood that either party will be able to impose their favored budget solutions on the other without some degree of compromise.
On NBC's "Tonight Show," former GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum explained why he placed his endorsement of Mitt Romney, his party's presumptive nominee, in the 13th paragraph of a note to supporters:
Former GOP presidential candidate and congresswoman Michele Bachmann is now a citizen of Switzerland, the Associated Press reports:
Bachmann's spokeswoman Becky Rogness says the congresswoman has been eligible for dual citizenship since she married her husband of Swiss descent in 1978. Rogness [said] that some of the couple's children wanted to exercise their eligibility for dual citizenship, so they went through the process as a family.
Global Atlanta reports that Gov. Nathan Deal will be stepping out for some Turkish food over Memorial Day weekend.
The governor will lead a delegation that includes many state government heavyweights: Secretary of State Brian Kemp; Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black; Hank Huckaby, chancellor of the University System of Georgia; Chris Cummiskey, commissioner of the Georgia Department of Economic Development; and Curtis Foltz, executive director of the Georgia Ports Authority. Trip dates are May 25 through June 2.
The Atlanta Tea Party and PeachPundit this week announced the creation of a non-scientific straw poll on the one-cent sales tax for transportation. Given the sponsorship, you might have anticipated something different – but so far, 52.73 percent of the votes have been in support of the measure.

I was disappointed to see Senator Lugar lose the primary. He was one of the Republicans who has not totally submitted to the crazy atmosphere we have today. Many times, he voted the way he thought was best for our country, not just the fanatical right-wing agenda.

Lugar was not a moderate republican, but for his work in stopping WMD's (actual WMD's not phantom Iraqi WMD's) he is to be commended. It is only logical that now he is the Emmanuel Goldstein of the Party.
You can tell because all of the Party Aparatick's here were doing their 5 minute hate on him yesterday. I, for one, can't feel sympathy with a Republican who hasn't resigned by now.
But what I can say is that it gets harder and harder for Moderate Cows to say, "But…but…but…but…" (breathes in a paper bag) "there are good people on BOTH sides."
If by good you mean haven't burned dogs alive or put kittens in microwaves, sure….probably….actually with the latest crop of contards I'm not so sure….

Partisanship does not make for independent thinking. Its true for politics, religion, and college football. History likely will take a more balanced view of Luger's role as a statesman and pragmatic leader in the Senate.

Washington was right when he told us to beware of political parties.
Having said that, if your thinking is truly independent, you are capable of understanding when you are being 'reframed' by a concerted effort of the media. If you always simply choose 'the center' then you are NOT independent. Not in the slightest.

Before he went to the Senate 40 years ago, Dick Lugar was President Nixon's favorite mayor when he was Mayor of Indianapolis. He was a strong statesman in the Senate for four decades. Sadly, Eisenhower, Nixon (who was a pretty good president til he tripped over Watergate), Ford, Reagan and Bush 41 would all be unacceptable to the jihadist wing of the current GOP.

findog, the Constitution originally stated that Senators were to be appointed by their respective state legislatures. In no way did this ensure that they were moderates. That only happened after the passing of the 17th Amendment in 1913, which did have a moderating effect because now those offices were voted on statewide, and in most states the statewide political spectrum is much more balanced than in individual congressional districts.
The political balance of the Senate before these past 100 years would have been that it would have been much more at the whims of state-level political winds. The state legislatures would have picked candidates that were staunch supporters of the state's interests at the national level.

U.S. Senator Richard Lugar, Sam Nunn, the world, etc don't get it. We are at a moment in history when compromising has become antithetical to freedom, the Bill of Rights, and the American view of Law. And should these be compromised, life itself will have become meaningless.
To make a long story short, Politicians in Washington and around the world are telling us in no uncertain terms that they have positioned themselves via the perverted New World Order, in such a way that Americans must compromise their view of government to become compatible with socialism, atheism, or have no functional government at all.
It is equivalent to perverts planning, kidnapping a young American virgin and taking her to a secluded place. He demands that she engage in an assortment of sexual perversions or she will be left alone bound hand and feet to die. Richard Lugar, Sam Nunn, the world, etc reason that given the position the young virgin finds herself in, it is reasonable or acceptable to comprise with him than to hold fast and fight to maintain her morals.
Forget about it. The perverted New World Order integrationist crowd and their devilish black minions will never force Americans to comprise the American View of government as envisioned by our founding fathers. And if they decide to violently or otherwise impose their perverted ways upon us, we are prepared to resist all advances, by any means necessary, so help us God.

Once upon a time I was playing a Tesla show in Canada when Kent Goodson and Pat Boone from The George Jones band came to see us. The next thing you know us three were on a pontoon boat in Nashville fulfilling a dream I've always had writing country music songs. You can hear more about us getting together on the bonus tracks of our EP available here soon.
I've wanted to do a country project since my early days of growing up in Oklahoma and with the help of a couple of buddies of mine it's now reality. Kent played with George Jones for 28 years, and Pat still runs sound for George now for over 9 years, and I have been the lead singer for Tesla for over 25 years now.
We hope that this EP will allow us to record a full length studio recorded in Nashville Tennessee!
Put on your cowboy hat and chime on in. There is a lot more yet to come.

Ethyl acetate Europe Transcript
ICS reports on ethyl acetate, referred to as Etac, in Europe, the US and Asia.
In Europe the report consists of spot prices for ethyl acetate and prices are quoted in euro per metric tonne on a free delivered northwest European basis.
The standard spot size in Europe is for a parcel that represents a full truck load of 20 to 25 tonnes
The report contains information about spot prices, monthly price-targets posted by producers, agreed business, demand-supply factors including any planned and unplanned production schedules.
It also includes a snapshot of developments for upstream products like ethanol, ethylene and acetic acid.
The European Etac report is generated after conversations with buyers, sellers and traders in the market. We take account of market sentiment as well as deals completed in the week.
Many users rely on the ICIS report in the basis of their contract negotiations, and find it an essential tool in discussions.

Regional overview
Regional overview
The European ethyl acetate (etac) market saw prices climb to an average €1,000/tonne FD NWE during April, the highest level since November 2011, because of tight supplies.
Prices were driven upwards on a combination of fewer imports entering Europe and reduced availability of European spot volumes.
The former resulted from the increase in European import duty which came into effect on 1 January.
Higher costs of selling to Europe, combined with relatively low European etac prices at the time, meant a number of importers from the countries affected - including Saudi Arabia and India - instead chose to sell to regions where higher prices could be achieved.
Regarding shortages of European spot volumes, having restarted production on the weekend of 12-13 April, one producer continued to carefully manage its spot sales and prices.
Other European sellers have also been strict with their pricing.
Furthermore, a number of Indian etac vessels that were originally due to arrive in Europe in April and May were delayed because of congestion in ports in India.
This ongoing tightness has kept prices at this high level.

[picappgallerysingle id="8434007"]We remember when Zach Randolph was just a troubled kid playing at Marion High School in Indiana, on his way to a brief stint at Michigan State University. As we recall, coach Tom Izzo took quite a bit of flack when he recruited Randolph who, while still in high school, was convicted of battery and sentenced to house arrest, and spent time in a juvenile detention center in 1999 for selling a stolen gun.Then, of course, he helped MHS win a State Class 4A Championship in 2000. That, of course, makes things all better.
This investigation is still ongoing, but it doesn't look good for Zach right now.
An NBA player and former Marion basketball standout has been implicated in an Indianapolis drug investigation. According to a probable cause affidavit, a trusted police informant identified Memphis Grizzlie player Zach Randolph as a major marijuana supplier in Indianapolis, 6News' Jack Rinehart reported. Narcotics officers were staking out a suspected drug house on Indianapolis' north side two weeks ago when they pulled over Arthur Boyd, 32, soon after he left the residence, near 75th Street and Binford Avenue, police said.
According to the affidavit, the Cadillac Escalade that Boyd was driving was registered to Randolph, and police found marijuana and ammunition stowed inside. "One of his vehicles had what we call hidden compartments that contained suspected narcotics, that being marijuana," said Lt. Jeff Duhamell. Based on information found in the Escalade, police later raided a northeast side storage facility, where they said Randolph rents four lockers.
According to the affidavit, a police K-9 alerted to controlled substances in two of the four units, and police found more cars with secret compartments inside. Duhamell said he had been unaware Randolph was implicated in the investigation.

On Saturday, 60 High Line supporters ventured up to Hunt's Point in the South Bronx for a tour of the Bronx River--by canoe. Staff from the Bronx River Alliance guided us down the river past a dynamic combination of still-functioning industry, new parkland, and a host of wildlife (crabs, egrets, mussels, you name it). We started off at Hunts Point Riverside Park, which is part of the new greenway project spearheaded by the Sustainable South Bronx. The project seeks to create a network of walking and biking paths, new parks, and water recreation, ensuring that residents of the South Bronx get their fair share of green space and access to the waterfront.
Members of Friends of the High Line receive a discount and hear about our public programs first--to become a member, click here.
If you missed the tour this weekend, never fear--the Bronx River Alliance holds public tours all summer long. Click here to see a schedule of upcoming events [PDF].
Relatedly, The Floating Pool Lady will offer an alternative to Hunts Pointers to swimming in the Bronx River for the next three summers.
There's a new farmer's market in the neighborhood-- and it's run entirely by students. Starting next week, you can stop by Wednesday mornings for some fresh seasonal veggies!
It's ridiculously hot today. Of course, on the High Line construction site, that just means things are a little sexier than usual.
A while back, we got to thinking that our office operations should reflect the values inherent in the High Line itself, as well as our own staff's personal commitment to environmental conservation. Recently, two larger non-profits built themselves new LEED certified offices (NYC Audubon Society and the Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment). We got jealous.
It's not too late to join us and Alex Feleppa, director of horticulture for the Horticultural Society of New York, for a naturalist walk on the rail yards section of the High Line. The walks are this Saturday, June 7 (there are three sessions.)
Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer's office is now taking applications for its 2008-2009 Community Planning Fellowship. The program, open to second-year graduate students in planning, intends to engage planning students in public service and to provide practical educational experience. Part of the Fellowship involves attending a planning seminar, which meets at least four times per semester. FHL's Robert Hammond was a guest speaker at this year's spring seminar.
Friends of the High Line moved offices last month, and our new West Chelsea digs are a bit further from the subway. I've been using my morning and evening commute to get to know our new neighborhood.

NCAA Football 11 Trailer Bonanza Scoooores!EA has released a veritable bevy of trailers for NCAA Football 11, covering aspects of the college American football game from grand entrances and motion capture to AI and styles and foolish superstition. As Hank Williams sang, are you ready for some football?
Developed by EA Tiburon, NCAA Football 11 is scheduled to arrive for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PS2 on July 13.
Where better to begin this bonanza than with a trailer celebrating entrances?
Next up, a look at player animation and motion capture.
Of course, all the movement in the world means nothing if your AI is a bumbling idiot. Hence this trailer showcasing "real assignment AI."
Last but by no means least comes the question on all your lips--how many ways are there to win? You might think one--by scoring more points--but you'd be wrong. Apparently there are 120. Isn't that impressive?

HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. It is the virus that causes AIDS. AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. HIV can be transmitted through the blood, sexual fluids, or breast milk of an HIV-infected person.
Over time, infection with HIV can weaken the immune system to the point that the system has difficulty fighting off certain infections. These types of infections are known as opportunistic infections. These infections are usually controlled by a healthy immune system, but they can cause problems or even be life-threatening in someone with AIDS.
A blood test can determine if a person is infected with HIV. Too many people don't know they have HIV. In the United States, nearly 1.1 million people are living with HIV, and almost one in five don't know they are infected. Getting tested is the first step to finding out if you have HIV. If you have HIV, getting medical care and taking medicines regularly helps you live a longer, healthier life and also lowers the chances of passing HIV on to others.
If a person tests positive for HIV, it does not necessarily mean that the person has AIDS. A diagnosis of AIDS is made by a physician according to the CDC AIDS Case Definition. A person infected with HIV may receive an AIDS diagnosis after developing one of the CDC-defined AIDS indicator illnesses. A person with HIV can also receive an AIDS diagnosis on the basis of certain blood tests (CD4 counts) and may not have experienced any serious illnesses.
There are many theories about the origin of HIV. The first known case was found in a blood sample collected from man from Kinshasha, Democratic Republic of Congo in 1959. Genetic analysis of this blood suggests that the origin of HIV came from a single strain of HIV-1 in the 1940s or 1950s. In the U.S. the virus is known to have existed since the mid 1970s. Symptoms of rare types of what are now known as opportunistic infections began manifesting themselves between 1979-1981. HIV was first isolated by scientists in 1983. The virus was at first called HTLV-III/LAV (human T-cell lymphotropic virus-type III/lymphadenopathy- associated virus) by an international scientific committee. This name was later changed to HIV (human immunodeficiency virus).
AIDS is a disease caused by HIV. HIV infects cells of the human immune system and destroys or impairs their function. Infection with this virus leads to slow destruction of a persons' immune system making them more susceptible to many kinds of infections. Once a person with HIV develops any one of a number of rare infections or cancers - tuberculosis, pneumonia, candidiases or tumors – they are said to have AIDS. This most often occurs 10-15 years after a person becomes infected with HIV.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), prior to 1996, scientists estimated that about half the people with HIV would develop AIDS within 10 years after becoming infected. This time varied greatly from person to person and depended on many factors, including a person's health status and their health-related behaviors.
Since 1996, the introduction of powerful anti-retroviral therapies has dramatically changed the progression time between HIV infection and the development of AIDS. There are also other medical treatments that can prevent or cure some of the illnesses associated with AIDS, though the treatments do not cure AIDS itself. Because of these advances in drug therapies and other medical treatments, estimates of how many people will develop AIDS and how soon are being recalculated, revised, or are currently under study.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 1 million persons in the United States are living with diagnosed or undiagnosed HIV/AIDS. CDC estimates there are over 41,000 new HIV infections in the United States each year.
The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) estimates that, since the beginning of the epidemic, almost 60 million people worldwide have been infected with HIV and 25 million people have died of HIV-related causes. UNAIDS estimates that about 33.4 million people worldwide were living with HIV in 2008.
There are various risk factors that make some people more at risk for contracting HIV than others. Most people, however, run some risk of contracting HIV as they share in one or more of the following risk factors:

Not bad
posted 5 years ago
I currently have one but I really prefer metal scoops. Even metal slotted spoons work better. I usually put too much pressure on these plastic ones trying to scrape the bottom of the cat box and break them.
Pros: large
Cons: breaks easy

How do you manipulate yourself - positively?
Your mind/part of it, knows that something should be done, the rest of you doesn't want to. What do you do?
I've read about intelligent procrastination. When attempting this, you deceive yourself into believing which tasks are more important than others. This stems from the conviction that you're bound to pick things to do of lesser importance, than the most important ones on your list.
In my opinion, intelligent procrastination is a way of intelligently putting your focus where you think it can make the biggest impact. E.g. you sometimes pick the easier task, of two, where the other is obviously more important, just because of the implied difficulty of the job and the quicker fulfillment of a job finished.
Another way I found to do things is doing them as they pop up in my head. I spend more time being effective overall, but I might not be doing things in the best way. E.g. you do not minimize time consumption on traveling, because the order of tasks isn't optimized. Overall I do think things through, but I feel I could be more effective and I'm looking for input.
Please look away from the mental age the above suggests and spelling errors, this is not my main language. First time posting, be kind.
If you understood the question differently, by all means describe that as well, together with your take on the question.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jul 30 2012: I had my hopes up for some fancy whoop-ti-doo, like hypnotizing yourself, a special questioning/exercise system for yourself, or a special just-do-it mindset I could adapt.
My best line of thinking currently is: You have to be able to trust in yourself no matter what, and it is something you gradually build up, by only committing to promises you can keep. That way, even if you do occasionally make a promise that is hard, you know you only make promises you can keep, thus it forces you forward. Here I would simply spend more time deciding answers such as "yes" and "no".
In this line of thinking, could there be any other personal skills you can build up, and how to?
Maybe this should focus more on motivation, I'm trying to learn something new, so I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for:
Some things that motivate me:
- Inspirational movies where something is done that was hard, or where people live poorly, as I hope to live a life where money is a lesser concern than currently.
- Facts about family, friends, and people in different countries. E.g. China with some insane child prodigies, studying in metro stations to practice focus with a lot of noise around.
- Stories about others, my latest read was Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson, I feel some of his traits mirror my own. His career choice was compelling for me, and it has made me question my current pursuit in economics, which I feel is more a matter of me knowing I have to pick fast, and my family giving me input, than completely my own pick, based on interests. I feel more creative than those numbers. I want to create actual value, not just loop money around in fancy ways.
- My wish to show my ex-girlfriend, and others that I am special.
- My wish to leave behind a legacy of some kind. Something that would make people's lives happier.
- The thrill I get when something succeeds.
- Dreams.
Maybe, if I gave this more thought, I could have it all boiled down to something I could remind myself about, and then work harder
Jul 30 2012: Dear Peter,
You are not alone in hoping for some fancy whoop-ti-doo exercise system, method or practice to create a more positive life experience. There are many practices that can contribute to contentment/happiness in our lives. The most important practice for me, in the past 60+ years is to be aware, mindful, and fully engaged in each and every moment. It is many times the very simple things that have great consequences.
I'll tell you a true story, which contributed to opening my mind and heart to the moment.
After regaining consciousness from a near fatal head/brain injury and emergency craniotomy 22 years ago, I received hundreds of cards/letters/greetings and wishes for good health. Often, the note would start out by saying..."you probably don't remember me, but 5 years ago, you said something to me that changed my life"....or "10 years ago, you did something for me that changed my life".
I DID indeed remember all these people, and I remembered mostly, that I didn't do anything special...simply being kind to/with them. My words and actions changed people's lives??? WOW!!! That was a pretty special message for me. It caused me to be even more mindfully aware in each and every moment.
We can experience motivation, awareness of other people, awareness of what we are learning in each moment, awareness of our world, our environment and the people living with us side by side, and as you say, we may get information from a movie, a book, an activity, conversations with people, etc. We may be motivated by simply sitting in the gardens and pondering.....that's one of my favorites:>) The point I'm trying to make, is that our life adventure can be many small experiences rolled into one to create the meaning that we are seeking. It doesn't have to be a "fancy whoop-ti-doo", as you joyfully say:>) Make any sense?
Debra Smith 200+Jul 30 2012: Believe me Peter, I am still hoping for a "magic bullet" a phrase in English which means an easy way to make hard things easy and if I just waited, I would have wasted a lot of time by my age. You already know how to work hard. Please finish your degree in Economics. One of my own sons just got his in that same subject (by his own choice). With this knowledge you can move on to anything you want to study. If your parents cannot fund it - you will pursue your bliss with hard work. I know it is not pretty but it will be the making of you! You are doing all the things that I would and have done for inspiration short of loving a child (unless I am unaware of that part of your life). Loving someone else madly and completely can almost be that magic bulltet.
You want your ex to know you are special and I can certainly relate to that human longing. However, that can only happen when you know it and you will only know it when you have followed your bliss and busted your rump to make it happen for yourself because until you do there will always be an undermining voice within that says things like "but these are only numbers' or 'these are only theories" or "you could have worked harder". Until you have valid answers for your own inner questions, whatever they might be you will never see your self esteem reflected in your beloved's eyes. BELIEVE me. there will come a day when a woman so far superior to your ex will adore you that you will wonder why you missed your ex! You will make that happen for yourself -without a magic bullet!
As to others and your studies or career - they will not believe your words - they will believe and support WHATEVER you truly believe in! With love from Canada!
Jul 30 2012: I agree with Debra that finishing your degree in economics does not tie you to a career in "looping money around." Economics studies the behavior of individuals and organizations, as well as the environments in which either might learn and innovate. So what you learn in the way of analytical infrastructure should have generic value as part of a tool kit to understand the world around you.
I like your idea of showing yourself you can keep promises. It's a bit like the idea of scattering along your path doable tasks of increasing challenge as a way of encouraging yourself that you can do things you undertake, even when stretching to a level above where you are is involved.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas House on Friday rejected new alcohol rules that would have allowed homebrew contests and permitted alcohol to be served at the state Capitol, saying part of the legislation hadn't been properly considered.
The measure was a compromise bill, meaning negotiators wrote it after the House and Senate approved different versions of the measure. It also included rules mean to clarify the process for wine tastings, among other things.
The House objected to the bill because the section on contests for homebrews had never been approved by either the Senate or the House. The state currently doesn't allow such contests and has no procedures for how they would be held.
The legislation also would have set up rules for wine tastings, including how many drinks people can have and how the state would tax bottles that are served.
The bill also would have allowed alcohol to be served at the Statehouse. The intent was to allow drinks to be served during an event to mark completion of more than 10 years of renovations to the building. The measure would have given the Legislative Coordinating Council the authority to allow liquor to be served in the building.
Sen. Ralph Ostmeyer, a Grinnell Republican and lead Senate negotiator on the compromise, said lawmakers will rework the bill after returning in May from their monthlong break.
The Senate had approved the legislation, despite a similar objection in that chamber that part of the compromise bill hadn't been considered before.
Sen. Caryn Tyson, a Parker Republican, said passing legislation that hadn't been previously debated on either legislative floor was "a slippery slope" for policymakers.
Critics of liquor in the Statehouse argue that the language in the bill could be construed to allow drinking at any approved Statehouse function, perhaps even the legislative session.
But Sen. Julia Lynn said the $332 million Statehouse renovation project had transformed the building into a showcase worth celebrating. She also suggested that the building should be allowed for use for weddings or other receptions that would be regulated for alcohol consumption.
"We're not opening the Statehouse so we can stash a flask in our drawers," said Lynn, an Olathe Republican.
Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, Topeka Democrat, suggested that legislators pass a bill allowing liquor to be served specically for that event. They did that in 1999, when they approved a law explicitly allowing liquor to be served from Dec. 31, 1999, to Jan. 1, 2000, to mark the turn of the century.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Most of you guys feel like BM hunters are the way to go? I always thought of my hunter as a Marksman. As soon as I hit 10 back in vanilla, I looked over the trees and as soon as I saw Aimed Shot, I knew what I wanted to be. Then again, I played DnD and the ranger class always had me intrigued. If only they implemented a melee hunter spec... then things would get way more exciting!
The mastery system I think will work wonderfully throughout Cataclysm's life cycle. The hunter bonuses themselves have seen changes across the board, so the fine tuning of them will be so much easier than looking at abilities.
Either way, it would be interesting to see a poll as to what each person looks at their character as, see what most people think the archetype is for a certain class.
