Q: Do vaccines cause autism spectrum disorder (ASD)?
A: Many studies that have looked at whether there is a relationship between vaccines and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To date, the studies continue to show that vaccines are not associated with ASD.
However, CDC knows that some parents and others still have concerns. To address these concerns, CDC is part of the Inter-Agency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC), which is working with the National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC) on this issue. The job of the NVAC is to advise and make recommendations regarding the National Vaccine Program. Communication between the IACC and NVAC will allow each group to share skills and knowledge, improve coordination, and promote better use of research resources on vaccine topics.
For more information about vaccines and ASD, see:

- Thimerosal in Seasonal Influenza Vaccine

Q: Is there an ASD epidemic?
A: More people than ever before are being diagnosed with an ASD. It is unclear exactly how much of this increase is due to a broader definition of ASD and better efforts in diagnosis. However, a true increase in the number of people with an ASD cannot be ruled out. We believe the increase in the diagnosis of ASD is likely due to a combination of these factors.
CDC is working with partners to study the prevalence of ASD over time, so that we can find out if the number of children with these disorders is rising, dropping, or staying the same.
We do know that ASD are more common than we thought before and should be considered an important public health concern.
There is still a lot to learn about ASD. In addition, increased concern in the communities, continued demand for services, and reports estimating a prevalence of about 1 percent show the need for a coordinated and serious national response to improve the lives of people with ASD.

Q: Can adults be diagnosed with an ASD?
A: Yes, adults can be diagnosed with an ASD. Diagnosis includes looking at the person's medical history, watching the person's behavior, and giving the person some psychological tests. But, it can be more challenging to diagnose an adult because it is not always possible to know about the person's development during the first few years of life, and a long history of other diagnoses may complicate an ASD diagnosis. Because the focus of ASD has been on children, we still have much to learn about the prevalence and causes of ASD across the lifespan. Behavioral interventions can be effective for adults coping with a new diagnosis of autism.
Q: How many children with ASD are being served through public special education programs?
A: In 2010, 370,011 children 6 through 21 years of age and 49,251 children 3 through 5 years of age were served under the "autism" classification for special education services.[1] Not all children with an ASD receive special education services under the classification of "autism," so the education data are not meant to represent the actual number of people with an ASD. For more information about children served through public education programs, go to the IDEA data website.
Q: Has the number of children being served under an ASD classification in public special education programs changed?
A: Yes. between1998 to 2010, the number of 6 to 21year old children receiving services for an ASD in public special education programs increased from 54,064 to 370,011.[1] While it is clear that more children are getting special education services for ASDs than ever before, it is important to remember that this classification was only added in the early 1990s. Growth in the number of children classified may be caused in part by the addition of autism as a special education category.
Q: How do the rates of ASD in special education compare with those of other special education categories?
A: In 2010, according to Individuals with Disabilities Education Act administrative counts, 5,822, 808 children 6 through 21 years of age received services through 13 categories in public special education programs. "Specific learning disability" was the most frequent education category identified, followed by "speech and language impairment." Together, these two categories made up about 60% of all special education placements. The intellectual disability classification accounted for about 8% (445,258). Autism accounted for about 6% (370, 011).[1]
CDC's Metropolitan Atlanta Developmental Disabilities Surveillance Program (MADDSP) found the autism rate among 8-year-old children in 2000 to be 6.5 per 1,000.[2] That's lower than the rate for intellectual disability/mental retardation (12.0 per 1,000) but higher than the rate for cerebral palsy (3.1 per 1,000), hearing loss (1.2 per 1,000), and vision impairment (1.2 per 1,000) found among children of the same age.[3]
Q: What are mitochondrial diseases?
A: Mitochondria are tiny parts of almost every cell in your body. Mitochondria are like the power house of the cells. They turn sugar and oxygen into energy that the cells need to work. In mitochondrial diseases, the mitochondria cannot efficiently turn sugar and oxygen into energy, so the cells do not work the way they should.
There are many types of mitochondrial disease, and they can affect different parts of the body: the brain, kidneys, muscles, heart, eyes, ears, and others. Mitochondrial diseases can affect one part of the body or many parts. The effects can be mild or very serious.
Not everyone with a mitochondrial disease will show symptoms. However, among the mitochondrial diseases that tend to affect children, symptoms usually appear in the toddler and preschool years.
Q: Is there a link between mitochondrial diseases and ASD?
A: A child with an ASD may or may not have a mitochondrial disease. When children have both an ASD and a mitochondrial disease, they sometimes have other problems too, including epilepsy, problems with muscle tone, or movement disorders.
More research is needed to find out how common it is for people to have an ASD and a mitochondrial disease. Right now, it seems rare. In general, more research about mitochondrial disease and ASDs is needed.

text: Fluorescent Western blot imaging systems do it all: illuminate the blotting membrane, detect the signals over background noise, capture the blot image, and analyze the signals. As such, most systems contain a light source, emission filters, and a photosensor (such as a CCD camera). Possible light sources may include RGB (red/green/blue), UV (ultraviolet) and/or white light. Some systems do even more, with multiplexing capabilities to detect and image multiple fluorescent signals simultaneously in the same experiments. In addition to multiplex fluorescent signals, some fluorescent Western blot imaging systems may also be able to detect luminescent, colorimetric, and radioisotopic signals. Some systems may feature confocal optics to boost sensitivity when detecting targets present in low abundance, which must be reliably distinguished from background signals.

(Adds allocations and names of banks in second paragraph, loan margin in third paragraph.)
Oct. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Home Inns & Hotels Management Inc., which runs budget hotels in China, allocated a $240 million five-year acquisition loan among eight banks, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Credit Suisse Group AG and JPMorgan Chase & Co., the arrangers of the loan, committed $40 million each, said the person, who declined to be identified because the details are private. Natixis committed $35 million. BNP Paribas SA, Chinatrust Commercial Bank, Credit Agricole CIB and Shinhan Asia Ltd. pledged $30 million each. Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Asia Ltd. loaned $5 million.
The loan pays a margin of 375 basis points over the London interbank offered rate, the person said. The facility pays a so- called all-in rate, which includes fees, of about 450 basis points, a second person familiar with the matter said in September.
The loan is for Home Inns' acquisition of budget hotel chain operator Motel 168. Home Inns agreed to buy Motel 168 in May for $470 million in cash, debt and shares. The deal "will create the most geographically diverse economy hotel operation in China," Home Inns said in a May 27 statement.

In New York, Halloween day was sunny and brisk. If I had weather control, I would have slowed down the wind a tad. As usual, I spent a fortune on goodies to contribute to the national sugar high – just in case the Power Rangers and princesses descended – and as usual, no kids came. Well, maybe the usual handful did, but I was called away to help with the Halloween chaos some miles away at my daughter's house.

Cool Antarctica
May 27th, 2003
Cool Antarctica was created by a member of an Australian expedition which spent 2002 in that part of the world. There's a fair amount of information about the local wildlife, as well as the history of the various early exploratory expeditions. However, the best part of the site is the photographs. In particular, this shot:
+100°C water meets -32°C air
A fun thing to do in extreme cold is to throw hot water into the air. Take a flask and fill it with boiling water to warm it up, pour this away and fill it again. Take the full flask outside, take a cup of this hot water and throw it all up into the air. As the +100°C water meets the cold (in this case -32°C) air, it instantly vapourizes. Most of it is turned into a cloud of steam that drifts gently away and some of the droplets that stay together are instantly turned into small pieces of ice that can be seen streaking down towards the bottom left in this photograph.
It's very weird to throw water into the air but none of it ever actually landing. Also seen in this picture is a solar halo around the sun formed by the ice crystals in the air.

Chelsea Thomas struck out 34 batters in 20.0 innings against No. 14 Oklahoma this past weekend |
April 19, 2011
COLUMBIA, Mo. – For the first time since May 11, 2004, the Missouri softball team has swept the Big 12 Player and Pitcher of the Week honors, as announced Tuesday afternoon by the league office. Sophomore Nicole Hudson has been named Player of the Week for the first time in her career, while redshirt sophomore Chelsea Thomas has been dubbed as the league's Pitcher of the Week for the second straight week, fourth time this season and sixth time in her career.
Hudson helped lead the offense to a sweep over then-No. 14 Oklahoma this past weekend, as she went 5-for-10 against Sooner ace Keilani Ricketts, while doubling once and driving home two RBI. After going 2-for-4 with an RBI on Saturday, Hudson drove in the lone run on Sunday, driving home the game-winning RBI in the bottom of the 11th inning. She opened the week by going 3-for-4 with a three run home run at Northern Iowa, tying her for the team lead with nine homers this season. After batting .571 for the week, Hudson raised her season batting average from .258 to .299.
Already named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week more times than any Tiger in program history, Thomas now becomes the first Missouri player to ever win a Big 12 weekly award in two consecutive weeks. The redshirt sophomore pushed her record to 20-3 with a perfect 3-0 week in which she allowed just two earned runs while striking out an astounding 44 batters while walking only four in 24.0 innings pitched.
She started the week by tossing the first four innings in Missouri's 7-2 win over Northern Iowa, where she allowed two runs, one earned, on three hits while striking out 10 and not walking a single batter. She then tossed all nine innings in Saturday's dramatic 3-2 win over Oklahoma, scattering seven hits, once again allowing two runs – only one earned – and striking out a personal best 17 while walking three. After throwing 161 pitches on Saturday, Thomas came back and threw 163 on Sunday as she went all 11 innings in Mizzou's 1-0 extra inning victory. She gave up only six hits, struck out 17 batters for the second straight day, walked just one batter and tossed her ninth shutout of the season. The 17 strikeouts are the second most in school history. She has struck out 10 or more batters on 13 separate occasions this season and has 241 for the year to just 26 walks. Her earned run average of 0.65 leads the nation.
Hudson and Thomas lead the Tigers into a Wednesday doubleheader against Saint Louis tomorrow beginning at 3 p.m. CT.

I/m 6'1", 205 lbs and I ride a Rome Anthem...
I/m 6'1", 205 lbs and I ride a Rome Anthem 162 which I love as an all around board, but I feel like I need a pow board. I've been told that with the BTX you can stay at your normal board size and still float nicely but I'm wondering if I should man up to the 172 or just stick with a 165. Or is this even the board I want for pow specific riding?
I am guessing the 165 is going to be the one. I am 6', 175 and I ALMOST got the 165 but went 160 instead. It still floats well and the BTX is absolutely killer. The Mullet is a surprisingly good all-purpose board without too much setback, I have moved my stance all the way back for the powder we just got, it's fantastic.
The Mullet is a great board, you won't be disappointed.
I ride the 165 and absolutely love it! My friend went up to the 172 and loves it. He weighs about the same as you do. Either way you go, you're going to be happy. The 172 obviously floats slightly better and is slightly faster. Really though, I'm happy with the manueverability of my 165. This is the BEST board I've ever ridden, hands down. LOVE IT!!!!

Samsung Galaxy S4 vs. HTC One: Which Android phone do you prefer?
The Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One are two of the newest Android smartphones available in Australia. Which one would you choose?
The Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One are two of the newest Android smartphones available in Australia. Which one would you choose?
We've spent almost a week with the Samsung Galaxy S4. It's not long enough for a comprehensive review just yet, but here's what we like and what we don't like about the Galaxy S4 so far.
Samsung will sell a total of 11 official Galaxy S4 accessories in Australia, range from basic cases and spare batteries, to a waterproof S Band fitness band and a wireless charging pad and cover. Here's when you can get them in Australia and how much...
We were lucky enough to walk away from Samsung's Galaxy S4 launch event in Sydney last night with a brand new phone to play with. Here's some sample shots we've taken with the Galaxy S4's 13-megapixel camera.
What the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 lacks in looks, it makes up for in other areas. The Note 8.0 centers its user experience on the S Pen stylus, once a curio, now a staple of the Galaxy Note family.
Samsung will officially launch its hotly anticipated Galaxy S4 Android phone in Australia next week at an event in Sydney. Here's exactly what we know so far, what's happening and why it's a pretty big deal.
Samsung's Galaxy S4 and the HTC One are two of the most anticipated smartphones to be launched this year. These new Android smartphones are hitting the shelves in Australia very shortly but which one is right for you?
It's official, and it's been official for a while -- Android is far and away the most popular smartphone OS in America. Ever since January 2011, when the platform surpassed RIM to take the top spot for the first time in comScore's monthly market shar...
You're packing for a trip. You've already crammed the chargers for your smartphone and laptop into your bag, but your tablet charger is MIA and you're debating whether to bring along a spare charger for your laptop--just in case.
Samsung last week revealed details of its Galaxy S4 Android phone, the most anticipated smartphone of 2013 so far. When can Aussies get their hands on it?
A Chromebook is primarily designed to be used with Web-based Google apps and an Internet connection. It's not like a typical Windows or Mac OS laptop. Here are two models from Acer and Samsung that we've compared.
How does the Samsung Galaxy S4 stack up to its closest rivals, the Sony Xperia Z and the HTC One? And which of these flagship Android devices is right for you?
While the main selling point of Samsung's WB250F is its integrated Wi-Fi and photo sharing ability, it's also a camera capable of capturing high quality images. Here are some samples to check out.
If we're not there yet, we are quickly approaching the Samsung Era in handheld electronics.
Some of the most memorable IT-related quotes were uttered in courtrooms this year, which involved a steady stream of legal challenges about intellectual property. In no particular order, these are some of the comments that stuck with us as 2012 winds...

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Ask Slashdot: Hungry Students, How Common?
Food insecurity at University? Marginal (390 comments)
First, suggestions (aka what I ate):
Oatmeal, peanut butter sandwiches (especially with bananas or home-made jam), and the cheapest organ meat you can find. Ground beef heart can make a decent meatloaf, in a pinch.
(I got that from the "Meats Laboratory" at Chico, which is a slaughterhouse run by the university to train students.)
Now, observations:
Yes, it can be a problem.
I ended up spending around $10/week, for about the cheapest food I could get.
Most of the money I used to pay for a university education was from work I did in the meanwhile for $8.15/hr, so it's not impossible to work your way through.
The biggest thing is to find a place to stay that's close enough and cheap enough. I was working at the university farm and staying there as well, for ~$150/month. If I'd had to pay the $500+ that would be more typical, I don't think it would have worked.

Manatee Schools release forensic audit supporting documents
Date: February 4, 2013
by: Josh Siegel | Staff writer
The Manatee County School District posted all documents related to the forensic audit of the school district's $3.4 budget deficit Feb. 1.
More than 16,000 pages of documents are accessible via the school district's homepage under the "Hot Topics" section at the top right of the homepage.
Click here to view the documents posted
The document files were released in the exact format received from Navigant, the audit firm that led the investigation, and Trenam Kemker, a law firm.
The district spent much of the Feb. 1 trying to find the best way to make the documents available, deciding to create two large files that can be downloaded off the district website.
The district said it will better organize and index the documents this week.
They were released almost three weeks after Navigant employees explained their 200-page-plus report to the public and school board.
That report blamed former Assistant Superintendent Jim Drake and flawed processes for many of the accounting errors that led to the budget shortfall.
Former superintendent Tim McGonegal, who resigned in September, was hands-off with budget, handing off most of the responsibility to Drake, the report said.
The school district also announced Feb. 1 that the district's bond ratings have been reduced because of the budget deficit.
As a result, the district will likely have to pay higher interest rates on its debt.

—By Kevin Drum
And then....there's the Congress of the United States. Michelle Bachmann, taking a page out of the Bircher playbook circa 1963, wants to make sure the Chinese don't foist a one-world currency on us while we're down. Don Manzullo is so relentlessly clueless that even the normally imperturbable Ben Bernanke can't pretend to understand him. And LA Times columnist Michael Hiltzik is watching television:
On C-SPAN I found the perfect thing: The House Financial Services Committee was grilling Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke about the AIG rescue.Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) grumbled about "socialized medicine," as though he had wandered into the wrong committee room. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles) obsessed about the "small group of Wall Street types who are making decisions," especially Goldman Sachs & Co., which she described in terms James Bond uses to describe SPECTRE.Their colleagues, meanwhile, emitted what the writer David Foster Wallace might have described as "recombinant strings of dead cliches" about undeserved bonus payments, U.S. taxpayer money paying off foreign banks and the mushrooming of that new American art form, the bailout.They showed, in sum, that they have no understanding of the roots or remedies for the financial crisis, and — more to the point — no great desire to understand. They left me convinced that if we are to have a productive investigation of the financial meltdown, it must be taken away from posturing lawmakers.
Hiltzik's solution is a fantasy lineup of investigators to shove Congress out of the way and figure out what really happened. A friend who works on Wall Street ended an email cautiously supportive of Geithner's toxic waste plan with this: "One last thought — could we possibly send Congress into recessuntil this is all over? They are killing us...." My solution is — what? I don't have one. Enjoy the show, folks.
Advertise on MotherJones.com
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will call Thursday for changes in how the government oversees risk-taking in financial markets, pushing for tougher rules on how big companies manage their finances as well as tighter controls on some hedge funds and money-market mutual funds.....The new rules will likely require financial institutions to hold more capital as a buffer against losses and will bolster risk-management standards. All told, the proposals would mean significant expansions of power for the Treasury, Federal Reserve and other regulators.
This is all well and good, though I'm still a little hazy on what underlying principles are guiding all this stuff. That aside, though, I wonder how much good this will do all by itself. After all, the problem during the housing bubble wasn't a lack of regulatory authority, it was a lack of regulatory will. The Fed could have insisted on stiffer mortgage lending standards, but it didn't. Alan Greenspan could have pushed for higher interest rates to slow down the rate of credit expansion, but he didn't. Congress and the president could have raised taxes and run budget surpluses, but they didn't. The SEC could have tightened capital adequacy standards for investment banks, but instead it loosened them.
A more sensible set of financial regulations is long overdue. But the bigger problem is ensuring that regulations actually get used, even when it means slowing down an economic expansion and spoiling everyone's fun midway through the party. I'm not quite sure how to deal with that — I'm not quite sure it's even possible to deal with that — but it's something we should be addressing if we're even halfway serious about this stuff.
I know that there is plenty of political capital to be gained by providing handouts to middle-class homeowners and little political capital in removing the same. But a political party that ostensibly stands for free markets and limited government should not be in the business of underwriting or subsidizing private investments in anything unless we can find some plausible market failure in need of correction (and perhaps not even then).
Matt Yglesias provides the lefty view of why this plan sucks:
Preferential subsidies for investment in housing lead people to, on average, consume more housing and less stuff-that-isn't-housing than they otherwise would. In other words, bigger houses instead of fancier clothes. This, in turn, has a substantial negative impact on the economy. Larger houses cost more to heat and cool, and larger houses lead to longer commutes. We shouldn't stop people from buying big houses if that's what they want to do, but it's quite harmful to be specifically encouraging them to invest their resources in this way quite independently from the financial crisis. Reduce the tax-side subsidies to homeownership and we'd have somewhat faster economic growth, somewhat more public revenue, and a somewhat cleaner environment.
For what it is worth, Switzerland is the only major country I am aware of that does not implicitly or explicitly subsidize housing in any substantial manner. Home ownership rates are somewhere around 35% as a consequence. But no one thinks of Switzerland as poor or deprived somehow because it does not receive the positive externalities allegedly associated with private home ownership.
I suppose not. Still, it didn't stop the Swiss from buying our crappy mortgage-backed securities, did it?
"I think we will look back in 10 years' time and say we should not have done this but we did because we forgot the lessons of the past, and that that which is true in the 1930's is true in 2010," said Senator Byron L. Dorgan, Democrat of North Dakota. "I wasn't around during the 1930's or the debate over Glass-Steagall. But I was here in the early 1980's when it was decided to allow the expansion of savings and loans. We have now decided in the name of modernization to forget the lessons of the past, of safety and of soundness."
I understand the outcry over passage of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, which happened a year later in 2000. Aside from opening the infamous "Enron loophole," it also prevented the regulation of credit default swaps, something that might have come in handy over the past few years.
But despite a strong preconceived distaste for any legislation sponsored by Phil Gramm, I'm still a little mystified over the impact that repeal of Glass-Steagall is supposed to have had on our current financial meltdown. Standalone investment banks have suffered every bit as much as the big conglomerates — maybe even more — and it's not clear that combining commercial and investment banking under one roof had any effect one way or the other on the housing and credit bubble that drove the collapse. AIG would have gotten into the CDS business with or without Glass-Steagall, and crappy lending standards were the order of the day at Countrywide and IndyMac just as much as they were at Citigroup and Bank of America.
On a broad note, I suppose you can argue that repeal of Glass-Steagall encouraged the growth of ever more too-big-to-fail financial institutions, and there might be something to that. On the other hand, I don't think Travelers Insurance has contributed anything to Citi's troubles, so it's not clear that crude size is really the culprit here. There are big banks all over the world, not just here in the post-Glass-Steagall United States.
Maybe someone would like to take a crack at making the case for the malign role played by repeal of Glass-Steagall. Even better, how about the case for reinstating it? I'd certainly be interested in hearing it.
Notice that the no-stimulus counterfactual output gap and unemployment rates are noticeably worse now than only a month ago (see this post). For 2010, the February counterfactual was -6.3% of GDP, now around -10%; the February counterfactual for 2010 was 8.7% unemployment, now it's nearly 11% (I'm eyeballing the current counterfactuals off of Figures 2-1 and 2-2)....My guess is that that "massive" stimulus is going to look a lot less "massive" given the severity and duration of this recession.
A month ago CBO estimated that unemployment would hit 8.7% in the absence of a stimulus package. Now they think it would have been around 10.5%. With the stimulus, they think it will top out at a little over 9%.
Specifically, by enacting an effective, enforceable requirement that all Americans assume responsibility to obtain and maintain health insurance, we believe that we could guarantee issue coverage with no pre-existing condition exclusions and phase out the practice of varying premiums based on health status in the individual market. While we support transitioning to a reformed system in which health-status-based rating is no longer used, rating flexibility based on age, geography, family size, and benefit design is needed to maintain affordability.
Volsky is pretty unimpressed, but I guess I feel slightly more generous toward this proposal than he does. If AHIP is serious, this represents a philosophical concession that's worth having. Unfortunately, the devil is in the details.
AHIP says that in return for making insurance mandatory, the industry is willing to guarantee coverage to everyone, regardless of health status. But check out that last sentence, which is a loophole big enough to drive an EMT ambulance through.
I'll grant them family size as a reasonable criteria for premium flexibility. Obviously a big family should be charged more than a single person. But age? Health issues rise rapidly with advancing years, so it would be fairly easy to avoid the worst risks by simply making premiums rise dramatically after age 50. Geography? Everyone knows that poor people tend to have the worst health, and obviously they cluster in low-income areas. Benefit design? Every health insurance company understands where the costs are in the system. If plans with decent coverage of expensive chronic conditions like diabetes are priced out of reach, then nobody will buy them even if, technically, the premium isn't based on health status.
Now, some of this is simply fodder for regulation. Maybe you can set minimum standards for plan benefits, or limits on how fast premiums can increase with age. But as Volsky points out, AHIP's position today isn't really very different from its position in 1992, which it abandoned at the first sign of political opportunity. Liberals, including me, have a fond hope that the political scene is different today than it was in 1992, which might keep AHIP from bolting, but recent events suggest that Republicans are pretty likely to adopt the same "Just Say No" strategy this year that they did during the Clinton administration. It's possible that the political scene hasn't changed as much as we think.
Bottom line: AHIP's statement is better than no statement. It's progress of a sort, especially if they're serious about it and willing to accept reasonable regulations on how it gets implemented. We'll see.
"As soon as we think the markets normalize, we would very seriously like to pay it all back."
Granted, Lewis left himself the escape hatch of waiting until "markets normalize" to pay back this capital, but even so this statement means one of three things: (1) he's lying, (2) he's crazy, or (3) BofA really is in fairly decent shape. I report, you decide.
The Obama administration is preparing an overhaul of U.S. banking rules that would force financial companies to keep more cash on hand in case their trading bets go wrong.Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told lawmakers yesterday that changes will include "strong oversight, including appropriate constraints on risk-taking." Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said the case of American International Group Inc. showed the "intense problem" of trading with insufficient capital to guard against losses.

Bernanke said the case of American International Group Inc. showed the "intense problem" of trading with insufficient capital to guard against losses.
This is probably good stuff, but one thing that I find persistently missing from these discussions is any sense of guiding principles. There are a million rules you might want to put in place to regulate the financial industry, and every one of them might individually sound sensible. But what's the big picture? What are you trying to accomplish?
If you asked me, for example, I'd toss out three big principles. #1 is firmer regulation over leverage, wherever and however it occurs. This would produce regulations like the one above that increases capital adequacy ratios, but it would also lead to similar oversight of hedge funds; an overhaul of how capital and assets are calculated; regulation of effective leverage embedded in complex derivatives; rules about off-balance-sheet vehicles; and so forth.
#2 would be a stronger commitment to act countercyclically. That would produce things like rules designed to force the Fed to keep an eye on asset inflation as well as goods inflation; a dedication to limiting credit expansion as well as credit destruction; capital adequacy rules that weren't merely stronger, but that tightened during expansions and loosened during contractions; and stronger down payment requirements for mortgage loans.
#3, for lack of a better name, is a recognition that the global financial system could stand to have a little more sand in its gears. Something to slow it down just a little bit. This might include things like a small transaction tax; exchange trading for credit derivatives; and stronger transparency rules.
Now, I might be wrong about these principles, and I might be wrong about the specific regulations needed to support them. Fine. Suggest your own. But rather than a huge hodgepodge of rules that might be good ideas on their own but might not really work together to accomplish what you want, I'd like to see a moderate, well-targeted set of rules aimed at fixing two or three big things. The principles should guide what we do, not the other way around.

So the day has come...I am seriously thinking about ordering myself an Agbay this week.
I currently bake all of my cakes in 3" pans, which is super easy to split, fill, and call it a tier.
But, I am really wanting my tiers to be taller... at least 4". This just can't happen as is, and I have been wanting to start baking my cakes in 2" pans, then torting those layers so that I have four layers of cake, three layers of filling. I think it would slice so lovely, and really give my cakes an extra special element.
I'm not sure though- this would mean changing a lot of things, and purchasing myself an Agbay.
What do you guys think? Can I get any opinions from those who own the Agbay? I am specifically looking at the standard 20" single blade Agbay.
Thanks in advance!

Need help with HTMl Height Problem????
I'm working on a new design for my website. Please visit http://www.kryptonicwave.com/KRYPTONICWAVECOM/quote.php The problem is with the left navigation. In Firefox it looks great but in IE it's spacing everything out. I have given the top two green boxes height and width amounts but left the 3rd lower green box with the google adsense empty. The reason is the length of each page on the site is always different and i'm trying to make them adjust for each pages height. Should I be using css or something. Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!! The top two boxes should look how they do in Firefox throughout the site ???????

What to Say When You're in Conflict
This can be achieved by taking time before the confrontation to get quiet and embody what it feels like to be in positive, compassionate feminine energy. Ultimately, every opportunity gives you a chance to practice being WHO you WANT to be. You are the programmer of your internal system. It does not "have to" turn out with a certain result, just because this is the way it typically goes in your life.
Today, choose to resolve conflict with new awareness and the resolve to let go of "being right." It's a huge relief, provides an incredible opportunity to listen and notice your thoughts, and enables you to move past conflict into resolution.

Winter Storm Preparedness Tips
Lots of snow is on it's way to the Southcoast, so while you can still get out and get prepared, here are some things you may want to get.
Lots of snow is on it's way to the Southcoast, so while you can still get out and get prepared, here are some things you may want to get.
We can expect to see severe weather today with rain, high winds, thunderstorms, and even a slight chance of a tornado here on the Southcoast this morning.
The rain hit the Southcoast area hard today and many Fun 107 listeners are submitting pictures of areas hard hit by the relentless rain.
Some parts of Rt 18 were so flooded that cars were traveling the opposite way to get out of it
Ok, Its finally time for me to try to find an explanation that makes sense. Why do people run to the supermarket in a mad craze when only one day of bad weather is forecasted?
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for stocking up when there is a 2 foot blizzard on the way, and even then, you probably only need a maximum of 5 days of items
We all know someone like this. It just so happens that this person in my life is my mom.
Fall River and Taunton schools are closed today, but that's pretty much it. New Bedford and surrounding areas decided to open school today even though school has been in vacation mode for a week and a half, and will certainly be closed tomorrow
The winter storm which is headed to us tomorrow in the form of a bit of snow is causing trouble across the country.
Check out this real time footage caught on camera of a 30 car pile up in Wisconsin as it happened from WCVB-TV
The entire highway needed to be shut down
As millions of Americans head home for Thanksgiving on the busiest travel day of the year, the East Coast is dealing with a major storm. Here on the Southcoast, the storm is in the form of heavy rains and winds
Our area could be hit with the first major snow storm of the year next Wednesday night and Thursday.
It was kind of a scary sight Monday evening at the New Bedford Regional airport. These are the type of clouds we associate with doom and gloom.

Night swimming is different. The water feels softer and sounds are muted. It's as if the tactile and audio world has been blanketed. Swimming at night is soothing. So is showering outside.
If your eyebrows shot off the top of your forehead at the idea of au naturel in the back yard, read no further. You are too modest to contemplate the sybaritic pleasures of showering under the stars. Shoot, even showering in the early morning is pleasurable, accompanied by the sounds of the birds and basking in the heat of the sun. And if you have to ask, the answer is ''yes,'' there are usually privacy walls surrounding an outdoor shower.
Gregg Howard of Fort Worth, Texas, starts his mornings with an outside shower. When he worked at a bank, showering outdoors provided relief from his strait-laced work life. ''I always felt like I had an edge on everyone else. It's so freeing,'' he says.
Howard, now a real estate developer, and his partner, Todd Edson, installed an outside shower as a practical measure that morphed into a daily indulgence. ''We'd get filthy working outside, so we used it like a mudroom so we wouldn't track up the house,'' Edson says.
Their shower, with both hot and cold water, is used at least seven months of the year, they say.
East Texas jewelry artists Zeke Zewick and Marty Flanagan say they use their outdoor shower almost 10 months of the year. The three-sided structure is larger than many tract-house bathrooms and is artistically decorated. It was installed because the bathroom inside their house has only a bathtub.
The secret pleasure of bathing al fresco is apparently not such a great secret. Resorts are finding private outdoor showers to be a positive selling point. Hotels in places as farflung as Fiji, the British Virgin Islands, Mexico and the Maldives are onto the trend. And these are not economyrate places. The Four Seasons Resort at Kuda Huraa in the Maldives charges $325 to $1,700 a night for its rooms with outdoor showers — and they expect a seven-night minimum.
Naturally, this phenomenon has not gone without a retail response, with outdoor shower structures readily available at all price levels, from freestanding plumbing units ready to be connected to the house's water supply to simpler units that connect to the garden hose. This summer, Target is selling a one-piece nyatoh wood unit with a shower head, vertical water pipe and small platform for $90.
The Sharper Image catalog, www.sharperimage.com, sells a solar-heated outdoor shower for $299. The unit can be placed just about anywhere the garden hose goes and provides 5 1 /2 gallons of sunwarmed water.
The plumbing components to make your own outdoor shower can be gathered piecemeal at plumbing and homesupply stores. Or there are components — shower heads, pipes and fixtures — made especially for outdoor use that prohibit rust, but they are extremely expensive. Using them can run up the cost to close to $800 or more, especially if you want a separate shower head that sprays down your feet as well.
Landscape architect Michael Eagan says that stainless-steel or solid-brass fixtures do last longer but that they aren't necessary. You could replace a basic shower head eight times for the price of a single outdoor shower head, he says.
Eagan works for the national architecture firm Carter Burgess, and his outdoor showers are confined to commercial projects such as camps and resorts, but in a former job, he often incorporated outdoor showers in residential landscaping plans for clients in Phoenix and Palm Springs.
Eagan says outdoor showers could be as inexpensive as $1,500 or as high as $10,000. ''It depended on the elements — such as materials — and the owner's intent,'' he says.
There are many considerations to be addressed when installing an outdoor shower, Eagan says. Among them is frequency of use. That, he says, ''will determine whether the runoff should drain into a dry well, back into the sewer system or be reused in the landscape.''
The runoff from Howard and Edson's outdoor shower in Fort Worth and Zewick and Flanagan's in East Texas benefits the surrounding landscape. But again, there's another consideration — the landscaping. ''You don't want to create a place for bees,'' says Eagan.
And you don't want to use desert plants with spines for the obvious prickly reason and because the shower area will stay moist. Trailing ground covers are good, says Eagan, ''I've used trailing rosemary, something that has an herbal scent and smells nice when you brush by,'' he says.
''Most of our houseplants spend the summer around the shower,'' says Flanagan. They get all the humidity they want, and she gets a respite from cleaning the bathtub. With an outdoor shower, she says, all you have to do is ''sweep away the pine needles and enjoy the great scenery and the birds singing.''
