DTT Buzz: Does Alexa Forecast Stock Movements?
This is an interesting notion. What relationship does traffic have with stock prices? As Andy shows, with eBay there does seem to be a tight correlation but Amazon the correlation sort of decoupled when the stock tanked but the direction of traffic may have been a leading indicator.
Nice work.

Didn't Yahoo or Google just settle with advertisers for millions of Dollars regarding click fraud? This reminds me of the 'eyeballs=earnings' stuff I bought and got burned on back in 1999-2000. Tom in Indy

If there is a difference, back then the street was trying to value companies by eyeballs.
I take Andy's post as an exploration as to whether traffic trends have a correlation to price.
A lot of the surviving internet stocks are profitable (they may be very expensive). During the bubble the companies, industry, business models (for those that had business models that is) and the internet itself (mainstream) were all so new and early stage and so far from earnings that the street thought eyeballs was a good way to forecast.
I wrote once before that the hype about the net changing our lives was correct. The big negative was the market ultimately could not accomodate the number of stocks that came public. - 9:03 PM

Ask A QuestionMy son has the youth version of this bat. What is the difference besides the obvious. Will he notice a difference? He is 13 and this bat is legal for his league whereas last year it was not.
2014 Demarini Vexxum:"DXVXR" Senior League The main difference between the two bats is the senior league bat will have a bigger barrel at 2 5/8 and the weight of the bat will be two ounces heavier than the youth bat.
My son will be 12 in May, He is 79 lbs and 4'11. What size bat would be best for him? He is good base hitter, always makes contact with ball but not a power hitter! Currently using his Easton S3.
The 2014 DeMarini Vexxum (DXVXR) is a two-piece bat and is designed for a contact hitter. Based on his height and weight we recommend a 30" 20 oz. bat.
Is the Vexxum DXVXR Senior League, 2 5/8" barrel approved for Dixie Youth Ozone play?
The 2014 DeMarini Vexxum: DXVXR is legal in Dixie Youth Ozone division.
Product Description
New for 2014! The Half + Half bat that put DeMarini on the map returns for another season! The DeMarini Vexxum has been crushing the ball for years, and this season it's as mean as ever! Once the first of its kind as far as two-piece bats go, this year's Vexxum combines an X10 Alloy barrel with a C6 Composite handle. The X10 Alloy used on the barrel is finely-tuned and shaped to create the thinnest possible walls. This keeps the weight down and opens up the sweet spot for unbelievable performance! The C6 Composite handle works in unison with the alloy barrel and is specifically tailored for the single wall construction of the Vexxum to give it the largest possible hitting surface! C6 features a wider composite weave, which in turn gives it more flex and unparalleled trampoline when the bat makes contact with the ball! The Vexxum is about as balanced as a bat can get, and is absolutely ideal for players looking to improve their swing speed this season! If you want mad pop and a light swing weight, this Vexxum is for you! DeMarini: Born Hardcore! The Vexxum features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Nice: Badass LEGO Star Wars Chess Set
Typically you don't hear "badass" and "chess" in the same sentence unless you're talking about the time Bobby Fisher beat Medusa to death with nothing but a rook. But I feel they're appropriate together here because this custom LEGO Star Wars chess set by Brandon Griffith is simply bangin'. And yes, I can say that because I'm hip. Literally, I only have one. I threw the other one out humping a Dilophosaurus this morning! Also, I suspect tennis elbow.

All's Not Well as TableTop Turns to Gloom
- 06.29.12
It had to happen. After many upbeat episodes of Geek & Sundry's TableTop, a dark cloud cast its shadow over the gaming table this week. The good news is that it results in some very funny moments as host Wil Wheaton and his friends, Michele Boyd, Amber Benson, and Meghan Camarena play the really depressing (yet ridiculously fun) card game, Gloom.
In the game, players try to make horrible things happen to their characters before ultimately causing them to die. It's a race for negative points, but other players can cause good things to happen to competitors' characters, which is bad, but the results are often hilarious.
While Wil's win last week was a wee bit wavering, in Gloom, our geek guy gets the good fortune to go for gold again. Will Wil walk away with it or will success sidestep our superstar once more? There's only one way to find out, watch this week's episode of TableTop!

The Shelter Insurance Foundation recently awarded $2,000 scholarships to Louisiana High School seniors Kelsey Henderson and Brendan Ross.
Shelter agent Tim Jenkins sponsors and partially funds the scholarships.
Beginning the fall after high school graduation, Henderson and Ross can direct the scholarship funds toward tuition, fees, or campus housing for any course of study leading to an academic degree at any accredited college or university.
A committee of local high school officials and community leaders selected the local recipients. The committee considered each applicant's scholastic achievements, educational goals, citizenship, moral character, and participation and leadership in school and community activities.
The scholarship is given without regard to race, disability, religion, national origin or gender of applicants.
The $2,000 scholarship is paid directly to the school the recipient selects. Henderson and Ross received certificates from Jenkins on behalf of the Shelter Foundation.
The Shelter Insurance Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation for charitable and educational purposes. It is sponsored by the Shelter Insurance Companies — offering auto, home, life, farm and business insurance services to customers in 14 states via a network of local insurance agents and headquartered in Columbia, Mo.

Hot answers tagged history
Technically, there are no reasons, but practically, there are quite a few. Obviously, we've reached the point where we can construct instruments that are fully chromatic, so there is no need to change crooks and play only the overtone series.
The practical reasons are many, and mostly stem from the fact that if all instruments were pitched in C, any time ...
Here are links to YouTube videos, all three of which were posted by the same person, using the same synthesizer, all three playing Bach's Air on the G String. But each link uses a different tuning system:
Equal Temperament: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6XkgNT20Eg
Just Intonation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdL8aPQUOk0
Pythagorean Tuning: ...
The TL;DR answer:
Some instrument families (saxophones, clarinets, double reeds) have variants which change the instrument range by something other than an octave. To make it easy to switch to them, the parts for these instruments are transposed so the same written note has the same fingering, but produces a different actual pitch.
Even when the range of ...
A couple quick internet searches (which took me here, for example) supports my guess that the term blues refers to melancholy of the music/lyrics (caused by blue devils). A blue note then is something characteristic to that music. One could also think that blue notes are blue because they often sound "sad", being flatter than usual.
The term chromatic ...
I have to say no.
As you said, Beethoven's 9th symphony was the first choral symphony but it was not the first piece to combine chorus and orchestra.
There were already pieces from the Baroque that combined them, as the same definition of cantata says:
Cantata: A sung piece, or choral work with or without vocal soloists, usually with orchestral ...
Your logic fits and, as some of the commentators have stated, I've pondered about this in the past.
Usually your dominant hand naturally can handle doing a lot more work, like you've stated. In playing instruments, the dominant hand also should be used for doing the "big jobs":
in drumming, the dominant hand would be hitting the hi-hats. In a normal 4/4 ...
Well, no. You can't really prove the theory of music. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Pythagoras probably wasn't the first human to speculate on the relationships of pleasing sounds, but he may well have been the first to appreciate the value of integer ratios in string length (or he may just be the earliest case we have records about).[*]
As to ...
The minor scale is not called the "minor scale" because it is the most minor. Names don't have to accurately reflect the definition.
Modes are sometimes classified as "minor" or "major" depending on their third (a minor third usually comes with other minor degrees like the flat 7th which is common to all minor modes of the major scale). And of all the minor ...
It actually goes back to the Medieval period when music that was not church music nor followed the church's rules was the devil's music. Madrigals were considered the devil's music because they were mostly about sex. Ending a piece on a minor chord was also forbidden which gave us the Piccardi third (raising the third of the final chord of a piece in a minor ...
First, Gradus ad Parnassum was completed in 1725 (not 1752), so it's a bit earlier than you think, although still in the time frame when tonality was becoming common.
Second, Fux was intentionally looking back to earlier styles of music, explicitly the music of Palestrina (who died 1594), and was, in a sense, taking a historical view even when it first ...
I suppose the answer is that any manufacturer of a keyboard instrument, be it a piano, organ, accordion, etc., is free to build whatever instrumental mechanism to produce as many pitches as they want to create, and is free to design a keyboard to play those pitches. They put it on the market, and the successful models sell well, and establish a precedent, ...
The best ear training courses available are by David Lucas and can be found at www.perfectpitch.com, these are audio lectures but do require some interactivity from you and your instrument to get the most from them (as you'd expect from any music training of this sort).

The guitar originated from the lute. What's called a 'kithara,' (a type of lyra) which when pronounced sounds a bit like 'guitar' is why people and historians get mixed up between the two being related.
The lute and the vihuela had their features combined in the 16th Century. The features that were combined were:
The body of the vihuela
The size the lute
As Indrek pointed out, this gives at least partial answers to your questions.
In short, the answer to who first put foot pedals on a piano is not known exactly, but the practice seems to originate in England. A piano of Americus Backers from 1772 might be the first one to use foot pedals instead of knee levers.
Then you have a different question in the ...
Beethoven's own "Choral Fantasy" came before the Ninth Symphony. It's a weird (and wonderful) piece composed for a particular occasion (actually composed to fill out a concert that was already far too long).
The piano starts it as a solo and plays an improvisatory cadenza that's three or four minutes long. Then the orchestra quietly starts in, builds up ...
Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber (1644-1704): La Battalia Sinfonia (1673)
From program notes:
La Battalia was written very much in the style of the day, but even these centuries later sounds rather modern, especially because of Biber's use of percussive effects in the string writing. The work, which is in short movements, was written in 1673 in the fading ...
There is an overarching reason for transposition of wind instruments, which can be corroborated by anyone who has played woodwind doubles in a pit orchestra.
Regardless of the reason transposing instruments came into practice in the first place, the practice is still standard in writing circles (besides the valid observation that there alr4eady exists a ...
Interestingly enough, the English Horn is commonly known by the French term 'cor anglais', but in fact originated in Germany! To make matters worse, the French Horn is a descendant of the English hunting horn.

The earliest two references I can find of what are now known as deceptive cadences originate with Josquin des Prez's Missa Una musque de Buscaya (listed without a date on Wikipedia, which only fleetingly mentions it under a different spelling, suggesting that his authorship is doubtful) and Francesco Spinacino's arrangement of Fortuna dun gran tempo.

I find the Tavener and Whitacre to be very consonant-sounding and beautiful. On the other hand, the parallel fifths and fourths of Medieval organum sound unpleasant and jarring to me, although they probably sounded melodious and sweet to the original performers.

When did the use of dissonance change from ...
Psychotropic means mind-altering. The most common use of the word is in psychotropic drugs -- that is drugs which alter mood, perception, consciousness and behaviour.

Years before Lou Reed released Metal Machine Music during his solo career, he played in a bad called The Velvet Underground with violist John Cale. John Cale is a classically trained musician, who studied with Humphrey Searle (a student of Anton Webern of the second Viennese school). During his early life and classical training he created relationships ...
The sound variance of violins is surely greater than the difference in their optical appearance, so I assume different shapes are possible. Note, that the viola da gamba family, which also has a soprano member (not sounding sooo different) sports C-shaped holes, and baryton has nearly unregular ones so the effect of hole shape seems very minor.
I found a ...
The shape also has to do with structural integrity. A violin would be of no use if it were built in a shape that would not support the high tension of the strings, thus causing the violin body to collapse after being used for some length of time. Instruments in the violin family, among all musical instruments, are notoriously durable; there are individual ...
In the late medieval system there were six normal notes, C D E F G A, and one note that had two forms, soft B (b) which was a semitone above A and hard B (♮) which was a whole tone above A. As written in the earliest sources, hard B looked a bit like an H with an added crossbar which may have been the reason for the change to H (or it was the next letter of ...
Variations in pitch and tuning systems stem all the way back to Renaissance / pre-Renaissance. Before a standard tuning system was codified, musicians in each city basically had their own tuning system, and instrument makers were limited with what they could do. The result was that if musicians from different towns / cities met, they wouldn't be able to ...
There are a few examples of screaming in Western classical music, but only as a coloristic effect; I am not aware of any compositions where it is used on a sustained basis the way it is in heavy metal. Some of these are when the music imitates styles such as blues or rock.

There are some primal screams in the first movement of Orff's ...
Beethoven, throughout his lifetime, created music that pushed the limits of tonality. In the classical period there were "rules" for how far you could push these limits, governed by contrapuntal techniques that evolved from the 16th century.

By Steven Suskin
Books compiled from a Lifetime's-worth of press stories, anecdotes and memoirs range from wonderfully illuminating to a mass of oft-told tales more fanciful than actual. The Irving Berlin Reader by Benjamin Sears [Oxford] does the job well. Berlin was one of those make-up-your-story-as-you-go-along guys, sort of inevitable given his early years of severe poverty in Russia and on the lower East Side. Sears — the singer who with pianist Brad Connor is a fixture on the Boston cabaret scene — has selected 40-odd pieces which give us a good picture of the reclusive (and I suppose it is apt to say, miserable) man who more or less defined pop music for about a third of the 20th century.
The early accounts from journalists and collaborators are the best, as these poor souls were unaware that they were writing about a legendary icon. There are numerous sections pulled from autobiographies by equally legendary peers and coworkers (Rodgers, Astaire, Merman and more) plus some newer analyses. A typical comment unearthed by Sears: "it's easier to be Larry Hart or Cole Porter than Irving Berlin." The sentiment might seem oblique — this was Jule Styne talking, after all — but it is right on the mark.
Irving was a private man, certainly, by nature and prerogative. "The Irving Berlin Reader" doesn't assault and attack him, as one of his major biographers did. It just gives us several shades of Irving, and a sense of who he was behind the self-imposed public mask, at least in the early years.
03 Jun 2012
Clashing deadlines afforded only a brief examination of a related tome, Irving Berlin's American Musical Theater by Jeffrey Magee [Oxford]. This book seeks to make a case for Berlin's "immeasurable influence on the American stage." Not having read it in full, I can't comment on the hypothesis; seems to me, though, that Berlin's seven full book musicals were behind (rather than ahead of) the times. Even Annie Get Your Gun, his only durable and revivable show, was seen as old-fashioned and a bit creaky — albeit with an amazing collection of songs — when it opened in 1946 in the wake of Oklahoma!, One Touch of Venus, On the Town and Carousel. Berlin's revue work through 1924 helped shake things up, but this was before the age of the immeasurably influential Gershwin, Rodgers, Sondheim et al.
I took the time to look at the discussion of two of Berlin's big musicals. Louisiana Purchase, the 1940 satiric attack on the populist governor and senator Huey Long (who died in 1935), has what I consider to be Berlin's most (and only) swinging score. What we get here are three unenlightened pages which don't provide much more than background and synopsis. Magee does tell us that the show was revived on Broadway "in the 1990s"; if he'd bothered to look for an actual date, he'd have discovered that Louisiana Purchase wasn't revived on Broadway in the 1990s or ever.
I next turned to his discussion of Miss Liberty, the 1949 musical that was so surefire that Berlin, his librettist, and his director decided to produce it themselves. Why share all those profits with a producer? The show was a top-heavy clunker, the dire reception suggesting that the great American public was soon to place the long-uncontested king of pop music out to pasture. Only I couldn't find a discussion of Miss Liberty; none at all. Magee obviously knows it exists — he includes one of its songs in a list of Berlin's contrapuntal duets — but the fifth of Berlin's seven major musicals is simply skipped. Magee does, however, give us four full pages about a proposed revue that never seems to have gotten beyond a memo of ideas.
It is best to reserve judgment of "Irving Berlin's American Musical Theater" until I have had time for a full reading, but while reviewing the first Berlin book I thought it proper to try to include the second. Maybe I just happened on the wrong 20 pages in my browsing; but that's what I read, and that's what I thought.

Prior to buying this game, I read the user reviews - and having played the game now I gotta say, don't listen to them. In short, Diddy Kong Racing is a lot like Mario Kart DS - but a little bit better. If you are new to the title, Diddy Kong Racing has something that adds a lot of bang to your buck,...more

Lil Ruf Catalyst and Mozaun McKibben
The race to the Versatility Ranch Horse open world championship was just as tight as the dash to the amateur VRH world title earlier in the day. Mozaun McKibben was sitting in first place, just three points ahead of Lavert Avent and four points ahead of Sara Gugelmeyer. Once again, it hinged on the quality of their working ranch horse run.
In the end, Mozaun and Lil Ruf Catalyst placed third in the working ranch horse with a score of 260, Sara and Colonels Miss Chic were fifth with a 177 and Lavert and Gallo Poco Cross had a tough go that resulted in a score of 94. Tripp Townsend and the Burnett Ranches-bred Sixes Sixgun won the working ranch horse with a score of 360.
But third place was good enough to get Mozaun and "Stud" the gold AQHA world championship trophy, his second VRH open world title. Lavert and Sara were tied for reserve, but the tie-breaker of the highest score in the working ranch horse made Sara the reserve world champion and Lavert took home the bronze trophy.
"Our week started off really good," Mozaun told the Journal. "We won the cutting and ranch riding, we were second in the trail. Today, we had a little hard time in the halter, placing fifth, and not a great cow horse run, but I just needed to be clean."
Mozaun and girlfriend Hillary Zimmerman of Whitesboro, Texas, bought Stud when he was just a yearling. The personable 2006 black stallion, who is by Lil Ruf Peppy and by the Taris Catalyst mare Foxy Catalyst, was bred by Werner Hermus of Valley View, Texas.
"We did the cow horse stuff on him when he was a 3-year-old and done versatility, SHOT and RHA, he won the open ranch horse pleasure at the world show last year," Mozaun said. "He's been a really honest, good horse. We hardly ride him now. We turn him out in the day time and put him in at night."
Hillary was beaming with pride.
"I'm very proud of both of them," she said. "We love him. He's probably not the most athletic horse we've ever had, but from the time he was a baby, he's had a ton of personality and so good-minded. It doesn't matter what event Mozaun wants to do with him, he just wants to give 100 percent."

I really like the style and fit of these shorts. They give you plenty of room. I'm a muscular 240 lbs. The material dries quickly after getting wet. The only complaint is that the button broke off easily. I replaced it with a better button. I like the shorts so much, I bought a second pair.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Patrick Leahy
United States Senator
Statement Of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Today, the Committee considers the important issue of how best to ensure that when people get out of prison, they become productive members of society, rather than returning to a life of crime. Many states are making great strides with innovative prisoner reentry programs, and we will hear about some of those efforts today. In 2008, we passed the Second Chance Act to give Federal, state and local governments additional tools to help inmates more successfully reintegrate into their communities upon release, and we will hear about the impact this important legislation is beginning to have nationwide. The Senate recognized the value of the Second Chance Act when, after a great deal of work and compromise, the bill was passed unanimously. Next year, the Act will need to be reauthorized, and I hope that we can again work with bipartisanship to extend these important programs. I was pleased to work with Senator Brownback, Senator Specter, and then-Senator Biden to pass the Second Chance Act, and I look forward to hearing about the good work that has come from it. I know Senator Cardin has a strong interest in this area. I would also thank Senator Whitehouse both for his leadership on prison reform and reentry and for helping with today's hearing. In the past few decades, Congress and the states have passed several new criminal laws creating more and longer sentences for more and more crimes. As a result, this country sends more and more people to prison every year. There are currently more than two million people in jail or prison, and more than 13 million people spend some time in jail or prison each year. Most of these people will at some point return to our communities. What kind of experience inmates have in prison, how we prepare them to rejoin society, and how we integrate them into the broader community when they are released are issues that profoundly affect the communities in which we live. The Second Chance Act builds on this important work by funding collaborations between state and local corrections agencies, nonprofits, educational institutions, service providers, and families to ensure that offenders released into society have the resources and support they need to become contributing members of the community. The bill requires that the programs supported by these grants demonstrate measurable positive results, including a reduction in recidivism. It takes an important step toward the goal of reducing the nationwide recidivism rate of 66 percent and decreasing the annual nationwide $8.2 billion dollar cost of incarceration. The Vermont Department of Corrections and many others in Vermont have strongly supported this crucial piece of legislation, which gives me confidence that it is an important step in making our country safer. We are joined today by Commissioner Andrew Pallito from the Vermont Department of Corrections, who will share with us his experience with reentry programs in Vermont. I know that Commissioner Pallito has had great success developing reentry programs and educating the community about their importance, and I look forward to hearing more about his innovative and exciting work in Vermont. I am also pleased to welcome Le'Ann Duran from the National Reentry Resource Center, and Sol Rodriguez from OpenDoors in Rhode Island. We will hear her thoughts on how Second Chance Act support has strengthened safe and effective community reentry in Rhode Island and nationwide. As a former prosecutor, I believe strongly in securing tough and appropriate prison sentences for people who break our laws. But it is also important that we do everything we can to ensure that when these people get out of prison, they enter our communities as productive members of society, so we can start to reverse the dangerous cycles of recidivism and violence. The Second Chance Act helps break this cycle. # # # # # |

As happens with most phenomenons, Minecraft has shed its PC-only skin of late to test elsewhere waters, arriving on both iOS devices and the Xbox 360.
It can be said that this exploration of the game's marketable legs is wrong for all the reasons Minecraft became a phenomenom in the first place: freedom. There's very little freedom for the game on iOS, and its limited outlook negates the community concept that has created such things as MineCon and beyond. But with the Xbox 360 version, it seems like Mojang might have had the right idea in offering something of a gateway drug to the PC game proper, or at least utilised the console platform as an exploration for further development. Either way, it looks like it was a success, as Jickle explores in today's review. Click here for the in-depth Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition review.

One night after Survivor
Series 2011, a pay-per-view characterized by decent matches in the service
of boring, uninteresting storylines, Monday Night Raw hit Hershey, Pennsylvania with a new WWE Champion: CM Punk. Though it was a far
better show than what we've seen in recent months (including an absolutely
incredible, PPV quality match), Raw is still suffering from many of the same problems that have plagued the show
since falling off from the heights of this past summer.
Find out what I thought about the show as I collect all the
good, bad and downright ugly moments from this week's Monday Night Raw. Do you agree with my assessments? Think I'm a
worthless, no-nothing smark? Are you able to tell me exactly which Misfits
shirt Kevin Nash was wearing? Do you have any idea what happened to Brodus
Clay? Then get thee to the comments section, and make sure to follow me on
Twitter so we can chitchat during next week's show.
Check out last week's feature if you still need to get caught up on the 11/14/2011 Monday Night Raw.

Wand Staining with Food Coloring
Food coloring in red, yellow and blueWand for staining
Q-tips cotton swabs
Cloth-like paper towels
Mix 4 drops of red, 6 drops of yellow food coloring, and 2 drops of blue food coloring to create a nice, warm brown.Using cotton swabs, apply food coloring and allow to sink in for a while.
Dampen the paper towel and wipe the excess food coloring off of the wand.
If a darker wand is wanted, repeat the above until the desired shade is reached.
If the wand is too dark, either wipe until it is light enough, or run under tap water until the desired shade is reached.
Allow to dry completely in a safe, dry place, as the food coloring stains.

The immune system, which is made up of special cells, proteins, tissues, and organs, defends people against germs and microorganisms every day. In most cases, the immune system does a great job of keeping people healthy and preventing infections. But sometimes problems with the immune system can lead to illness and infection.
The immune system is the body's defense against infectious organisms and other invaders. Through a series of steps called the immune response, the immune system attacks organisms and substances that invade body systems and cause disease.
The immune system is made up of a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body. The cells involved are white blood cells, or leukocytes, which come in two basic types that combine to seek out and destroy disease-causing organisms or substances.
Leukocytes are produced or stored in many locations in the body, including the thymus, spleen, and bone marrow. For this reason, they're called the lymphoid organs. There are also clumps of lymphoid tissue throughout the body, primarily as lymph nodes, that house the leukocytes.
The leukocytes circulate through the body between the organs and nodes via lymphatic vessels and blood vessels. In this way, the immune system works in a coordinated manner to monitor the body for germs or substances that might cause problems.
The two basic types of leukocytes are:
A number of different cells are considered phagocytes. The most common type is the neutrophil, which primarily fights bacteria. If doctors are worried about a bacterial infection, they might order a blood test to see if a patient has an increased number of neutrophils triggered by the infection. Other types of phagocytes have their own jobs to make sure that the body responds appropriately to a specific type of invader.
The two kinds of lymphocytes are B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes. Lymphocytes start out in the bone marrow and either stay there and mature into B cells, or they leave for the thymus gland, where they mature into T cells. B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes have separate functions: B lymphocytes are like the body's military intelligence system, seeking out their targets and sending defenses to lock onto them. T cells are like the soldiers, destroying the invaders that the intelligence system has identified.
Here's how it works:
When antigens (foreign substances that invade the body) are detected, several types of cells work together to recognize them and respond. These cells trigger the B lymphocytes to produce antibodies, specialized proteins that lock onto specific antigens.
Once produced, these antibodies continue to exist in a person's body, so that if the same antigen is presented to the immune system again, the antibodies are already there to do their job. So if someone gets sick with a certain disease, like chickenpox, that person typically doesn't get sick from it again.
This is also how immunizations prevent certain diseases. An immunization introduces the body to an antigen in a way that doesn't make someone sick, but does allow the body to produce antibodies that will then protect the person from future attack by the germ or substance that produces that particular disease.
Although antibodies can recognize an antigen and lock onto it, they are not capable of destroying it without help. That's the job of the T cells, which are part of the system that destroys antigens that have been tagged by antibodies or cells that have been infected or somehow changed. (Some T cells are actually called "killer cells.") T cells also are involved in helping signal other cells (like phagocytes) to do their jobs.
Antibodies also can neutralize toxins (poisonous or damaging substances) produced by different organisms. Lastly, antibodies can activate a group of proteins called complement that are also part of the immune system. Complement assists in killing bacteria, viruses, or infected cells.
All of these specialized cells and parts of the immune system offer the body protection against disease. This protection is called immunity.
Humans have three types of immunity — innate, adaptive, and passive:
Everyone is born with innate (or natural) immunity, a type of general protection. Many of the germs that affect other species don't harm us. For example, the viruses that cause leukemia in cats or distemper in dogs don't affect humans. Innate immunity works both ways because some viruses that make humans ill — such as the virus that causes HIV/AIDS — don't make cats or dogs sick.
Innate immunity also includes the external barriers of the body, like the skin and mucous membranes (like those that line the nose, throat, and gastrointestinal tract), which are the first line of defense in preventing diseases from entering the body. If this outer defensive wall is broken (as through a cut), the skin attempts to heal the break quickly and special immune cells on the skin attack invading germs.
The second kind of protection is adaptive (or active) immunity, which develops throughout our lives. Adaptive immunity involves the lymphocytes and develops as people are exposed to diseases or immunized against diseases through vaccination.
Passive immunity is "borrowed" from another source and it lasts for a short time. For example, antibodies in a mother's breast milk provide a baby with temporary immunity to diseases the mother has been exposed to. This can help protect the baby against infection during the early years of childhood.
Everyone's immune system is different. Some people never seem to get infections, whereas others seem to be sick all the time. As people get older, they usually become immune to more germs as the immune system comes into contact with more and more of them. That's why adults and teens tend to get fewer colds than kids — their bodies have learned to recognize and immediately attack many of the viruses that cause colds.
Disorders of the immune system fall into four main categories:
Immunodeficiencies occur when a part of the immune system is not present or is not working properly. Sometimes a person is born with an immunodeficiency (known as primary immunodeficiencies), although symptoms of the disorder might not appear until later in life. Immunodeficiencies also can be acquired through infection or produced by drugs (these are sometimes called secondary immunodeficiencies).
Immunodeficiencies can affect B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, or phagocytes. Examples of primary immunodeficiencies that can affect kids and teens are:
Acquired (or secondary) immunodeficiencies usually develop after someone has a disease, although they can also be the result of malnutrition, burns, or other medical problems. Certain medicines also can cause problems with the functioning of the immune system.
Acquired (secondary) immunodeficiencies include:
In autoimmune disorders, the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's healthy organs and tissues as though they were foreign invaders. Autoimmune diseases include:
Allergic disorders occur when the immune system overreacts to exposure to antigens in the environment. The substances that provoke such attacks are called allergens. The immune response can cause symptoms such as swelling, watery eyes, and sneezing, and even a life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis. Medications called antihistamines can relieve most symptoms.
Allergic disorders include:
Cancer occurs when cells grow out of control. This also can happen with the cells of the immune system. Leukemia, which involves abnormal overgrowth of leukocytes, is the most common childhood cancer. Lymphoma involves the lymphoid tissues and is one of the more common childhood cancers. With current medications most cases of both types of cancer in kids and teens are curable.
Although immune system disorders usually can't be prevented, you can help your child's immune system stay stronger and fight illnesses by staying informed about your child's condition and working closely with your doctor.

The Built-In Bra needs improvement
By Truth Sayer
from WA
About Me Comfort-oriented, Conservative, Practical, Stylish
Comments about Tank Top With Built-In Bra:
Love the tank top; however, the built-in bra is lacking. It looks like I'm not even wearing a bra with this tank top. Only picked two stars because it needs that something. It needs the built-in bra to be better. Other than that, it's a great shirt (very comfortable and pretty).
Love these tops

BACK is Sweden's most interesting and awarded fashion brand. The line was launched in 2005 as a diffusion line to the more exclusive mainline Ann-Sofie Back Atelje. BACK is available in 20 markets worldwide and is known for it's innovative yet wearable design.
Ann-Sofie Back is one of Sweden's original bad-boys when it comes to breaking the conventions of fashion. This said, naturally, workwear and practical clothes are one of her pet-hates and thus where she looked for inspiration for her AW13 collection.
Luckily the bad-boy grew up and is now running Sweden's most interesting fashion house together with business partner Jennie Rosen. In 2012 the company has increased sales with 60% worldwide with their diffusion line BACK. The mainline Ann-Sofie Back Atelje is still the most interesting and high end collection coming out of Sweden today and the only Swedish brand apart from Acne, featured on style.com.
Even though BACK this time has moved into workwear (an unexplored area for Ann-Sofie) the core of BACK is based on ideas from previous mainline collections. You will see glimpses of SS03, AW05, SS05 and SS06 for example.
The most prominent fabrics are heavy, synthetic drills in bright colours, washed out tencels, kaleidoscope sequins, both as prints and not (not so workwear but very 2002!), fleece-teddy, largescale tulle net, checked flannels, wct and patterned linings, all with contrast stitching and gold trimmings.
Colours are besides black and white: gold, bright yellow, cobalt, icy grey, warm brown and navy.
The styling is as before both clean and eclectic, bringing a variety of inspirations together in an unexpected way. Rather than having the chains copy you, copy yourself!

Show Detailed Description
The goal of this research study is to test the clinical effectiveness of a drug called infliximab (Remicade) in chronic beryllium disease (CBD). This drug may reduce tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), which is associated with more severe disease and inflammation in the lung. Receiving infliximab may help with symptoms, and may improve clinical testing data normally ordered by your doctor, such as breathing tests. Baseline and follow-up testing will look for improvements in breathing tests (pulmonary function testing), exchange of oxygen in the lungs (exercise test), chest x ray, and lung inflammation.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Berylliosis Beryllium Disease |
Drug: Infliximab |
Phase 1 Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor) Primary Purpose: Treatment |

To find out how you can become a sustaining member and be part of the live audience, visit wxxi.org/support/membership or call the Member Services Hotline at 585-258-0200.
The performances can also be seen video-streamed live and on-demand on line.
