Norman: Debt Deal Gives Stocks a Green Light
With the House having passed a clean increase in the debt ceiling and barring any problems in the Senate, it looks as if the market will blister higher in the next few months as it continues to unwind a lot of bearish sentiment.
This is typically a strong period for the market as it is tax refund season and we're starting to see those refunds cascade in. Monday's huge $18 billion IRS tax refund brought the total for the month so far to $30 billion. The figure is $2 billion higher than the same time last year. Last February's $106 billion in tax refunds provided the launching pad for a strong 1,300 point rally in the Dow that took place from the February to May period.
While I have been saying that an increase in the debt ceiling was the last obstacle between the market and new highs (and significant new highs, I believe) I don't want to get overly excited because we still are running with quite a large federal spending shortfall relative to last year.
The most recent data now puts us at about $53 billion below last year's total spending figure at this time. That's not as bad as the recent high of $65 billion, but it still says we need to make up plenty of lost ground.
The good news is it that seems quite do-able with the debt ceiling out of the way, so stocks should really be entering a glide path higher from here on in. Further out, it seems like the year is shaping up to be quite decent and even commodity markets are starting to perk up to confirm that. Gold just hit a three- month high, coffee is surging, cotton is at a four month high and as we get to the rest of my list we round it off with corn, wheat, soybeans, copper, sugar and orange juice all looking like they have put in a bottom. How predictable was Tuesday's market rally off the comments made by Janet Yellen in her first testimony before Congress as Fed Chair? She basically pledged low interest rates far into the future, but with a continuation of the so-called taper, i.e., reductions in bond purchases. Those purchases, far from being the removal of "stimulus" as everyone keeps saying, are more like the addition of stimulus. They keep those interest-bearing securities in the hands of investors who are the recipients of the interest income the government pays. Just as a rule of thumb, every $10 billion reduction in asset purchases equates to approximately $3.6 billion of interest payments made into the economy. So far we've seen two $10 billion reductions, so that's $7.2 billion. If the program extends for the rest of the year, that's another $39.6 billion added to the economy. Right there we make up for much of the total spending reduction that I mentioned earlier. I think the "doom and gloomers" have jumped the gun on this one and made a really bad call here. I haven't heard many of them reverse their views yet, but I am sure that will happen in time. But before they do, expect to see much higher stock levels.Select the service that is right for you!

UPDATED: Monday, January 13, 2014 - 12:53pm
Gregg County, Texas (KETK) —
A Kilgore man who allegedly tried to kill his father in May 2013 [1], has plead guilty to aggravated kidnapping.
The Gregg County District Attorney's Office tells KETK, Monday morning, William Lawson, 51, reached a plea deal with officials to drop the attempted murder charge in lieu of a guilty plea to aggravated kidnapping. The punishment phase in Lawson's trial will being Tuesday.
On Thursday, May 2, 2013, Kilgore Police responded to the 500 Block of Gladewater Street in reference to a suspicious vehicle/welfare concern.
Upon arrival, officers discovered Lawson and his father, Robert Emmett Lawson inside a pick-up truck. Officers noticed a strong smell of propane gas and observed signs on the truck windows that said "Danger Propane". Officials spoke with Lawson, who threatened to ignite the propane and kill himself, his father and the responding officers. Police noticed the windows fogging up on the truck and with the assistance of the Kilgore Fire Department, Lawson and his father were removed. While law enforcement was trying to get the individuals out of the truck, Lawson was seen attempting strangling his father.
Lawson is being held in the Gregg County Jail.

Yields: 16 wontons
Total Time: 30 min
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 10 min
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 2 tablespoon(s) sugar
- 2 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
- 16 wonton wrappers, defrosted if frozen
- 5 tablespoon(s) Nutella chocolate-hazelnut spread
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 2 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter, melted
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Have a small glass of water ready. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon with a fork until combined well.
- Lay 4 wonton wrappers out on a clean countertop. Place 1 teaspoon Nutella in the center of each wrapper. Cut the banana into very thin slices with a paring knife and place 2 slices on top of the Nutella on each wrapper. Dip your finger into the glass of water and run it along the edges of a wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally, forming a triangle. Press on the edges well with your fingers to seal. Repeat with the remaining 3 wontons. Place the 4 on the baking sheet (you can place them close together; they wont spread).
- Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers, Nutella, and bananas, working in batches of 4 wontons at a time. When all the wontons have been made, lightly brush the sides facing up with the melted butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the wontons for 8 to 10 minutes, until crisp and lightly browned. Let cool for 1 minute before serving.
Tips & Techniques
Tools you'll need: Measuring spoons, fork, baking sheet, small bowl, paring knife, pastry brush, teaspoon

African American History: Cartoonist Fred Ellis
We conclude our coverage of African American History Month, with a collection of works by Fred Ellis, longtime cartoonist for The Daily Worker, in which all of the cartoons shown here first appeared.
The above July 13th, 1927 cartoon, depicting a gun-toting plantation owner on horse back, saying Wal', I Still Got You, from the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.
Click on the above & below pictures, to view enlarged versions.
Below, March 3rd, 1950, refers to the NBC radio & television network's banning of singer/writer/activist Paul Robeson — who had been scheduled to appear on former First Lady's The Eleanor Roosevelt Show.
Next, from December 1st, 1951. The cartoon here involves that in the 1940′s, insurance company Met. Life had built low-cost apartment buildings for returning veterans, but excluded black veterans from the apartments (thus, the "Jim Crow" reference). When in 1951 some of the white soldiers protested this, Met. Life had them evicted (click here for more information).
I showed the below cartoon earlier this month, in a collection of Civil Rights cartoons by various cartoonists. I didn't want to leave this Ellis cartoon out of this set, though. It appeared Spetember 22nd, 1957, and is titled Iron Curtain..
Below, February 28th, 1951, involving the case of Willie McGee, convicted of raping a white woman, and executed on May 8th, 1951.
Below, December 1st, 1951, Jim Crow Decision. Click here for information.
Finally, Stop the Genocide, from November 21st, 1951, referencing the high rate of race-based lynchings and executions happening in the U.S.

Striking out Rockies' Troy Tulowitzki with SpongeBob SquarePants on MLB Nicktoons
Posted By Bryan Moore On October 10, 2011 @ 10:37 pm In Children,Game On,Rockies,Sports | No Comments
Seriously….too funny.
Spongebob glances over at Todd Helton on second base, then over to Carlos Gonzalez leading off first.
He then turns his attention to the plate and fires a high heater straight down the pipe.
You're out Troy Tulowitzki!
There really is no better way to describe the scenario I played out with Nicklodeon's Nicktoons MLB [2] by 2K games on Xbox 360 Kinect.
The fact it was me throwing the strike as Spongebob via the Kinect system only added to the magic.
The game is basically taking the best players from all 30 MLB teams and pitting them against a variety of characters from Nicktoons including SpongeBob SquarePants, ZIM, Dudley Puppy, Fanboy, Chum Chum and Ren and Stimpy.
They even have an interactive Facebook page [3] where users can partake in a variety things, including watching videos, interacting with other fans, or report scores.
Nicktoons MLB is available on Wii, and Nintendo DS, but playing on the Xbox Kinect, one can enjoy pitching, batting and fielding without the use of a controller.
The images below give an idea of game play, but it really is more entertaining in person. My young son and myself were both laughing hysterically throughout our game.
Fun times.

Force Avi Plugin
Are you tired of all the same boring default avatars everywhere on the site?
Would it be too much to ask users if they could upload at least some picture?
In many cases, it would. It is a fact that users could really care less to leave the information which is not required or mandatory for their site usage.
JomSocial have a little drawback when it comes to avatar upload. It is strictly optional, and allows users to freely use the default picture which, when displayed in the bunch, doesn't look to good.
Therefore, we decided to develop a plugin which will stop this once and for all.
As its name implies, this plugin will scan if user is using the default avatar of JomSocial, and if it does, it will force user to change it.
The plugin uses the mainframe redirection, therefore any attempt to browse the site pages with default avatar will end up redirected on change avatar page.


text: 'Fifty Shades': Before Hunnam and Johnson, was there Gosling?By Breeanna Hare, CNNUpdated 5:40 PM ET, Thu September 5, 2013Casting 'Fifty Shades of Grey' 8 photosCasting 'Fifty Shades of Grey' – OK "Fifty Shades of Grey" fans, it looks like some of you have gotten your wish. Charlie Hunnam will not be playing Christian Grey in the big-screen adaptation of E.L. James' best-selling novel. You can once again start fantasizing about who might snag the role instead. Here are a few names that have come up.Hide Caption 1 of 8Casting 'Fifty Shades of Grey' 8 photosMatt Bomer – Lots of people believed "White Collar's" Matt Bomer would have made a great Christian Grey. (The actor appears as a stripper in "Magic Mike," so we figured he'd be down for some on-screen BDSM.)Hide Caption 2 of 8Casting 'Fifty Shades of Grey' 8 photosGarrett Hedlund – Garrett Hedlund steamed up the screen in "Tron: Legacy" and "Troy." He definitely has the looks for the role.Hide Caption 3 of 8Casting 'Fifty Shades of Grey' 8 photosIan Somerhalder – The devilish look of Ian Somerhalder has served him well on the TV series "The Vampire Diaries." He could bring that to the role.Hide Caption 4 of 8Casting 'Fifty Shades of Grey' 8 photosRyan Gosling – Need we plead our case for Ryan Gosling?Hide Caption 5 of 8Casting 'Fifty Shades of Grey' 8 photosWes Bentley – With "The Hunger Games" under his belt, Wes Bentley could have taken on the role.Hide Caption 6 of 8Casting 'Fifty Shades of Grey' 8 photosChris Pine – He's shown his range from "This Means War" to "People Like Us," so we know Chris Pine could have taken on Grey.Hide Caption 7 of 8Casting 'Fifty Shades of Grey' 8 photosChris Hemsworth – If new dad Chris Hemsworth isn't too busy wielding Thor's hammer to take part, he could have easily stepped into Grey's shoes.Hide Caption 8 of 8Story highlightsMany actors were rumored to be in consideration for "Fifty Shades"Ryan Gosling, Garrett Hedlund and Shailene Woodley were among themThe two starring roles ended up going to Dakota Johnson and Charlie HunnamSome fans of the books have criticized the choicesNot everyone's pleased with Dakota Johnson and Charlie Hunnam in the starring roles in "Fifty Shades of Grey," but the bigger-name stars fans have been clamoring for reportedly weren't all that interested.We already know Armie Hammer and Emma Watson were definitively not interested, with both nearly sneering at the thought. Even Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the husband of "Fifty Shades" director Sam Taylor-Johnson, diplomatically excused himself from any casting rumors. Fans not happy with 'Fifty Shades' casting"I'd love to work with Sam again, no question, without a doubt," the "Kick-Ass" actor said. "I think she's such an incredible director, and she's got such an incredible vision. And especially for something like this, (which) she can do -- no pun intended -- with her hands tied behind her back and blindfolded." But for him, the role of the charismatic, handsome and domineering billionaire just didn't "fit the bill." And according to The Hollywood Reporter, preferential choices Ryan Gosling and Garrett Hedlund also passed on the project. Director Sam Taylor-Johnson chosen for 'Fifty Shades of Grey'Fans have not rallied around the idea of Hunnam as Christian Grey and have offered another suggestion: Matt Bomer. (The "White Collar" actor has since said that while he appreciates the support, Hunnam's staying put.) Some readers of E.L. James' best-selling S&M-themed trilogy haven't been thrilled with the idea of Johnson as Anastasia Steele, the naive college student who takes up with Grey. In their eyes, Alexis Bledel would be far better for the role, but THR notes that it was Shailene Woodley studio Universal had eyes for. 'Fifty Shades' gets a release dateWhile the actress is said to have been comfortable with the racy demands of the film, her ties to the adaptation of Veronica Roth's "Divergent" trilogy would get in the way.'Fifty Shades' screenwriter's thinking NC-17So with Johnson and Hunnam being the choices -- and "there is a lot that goes into casting that isn't just looks. Talent, availability, their desire to do it, chemistry with other actor, etc.," "Fifty Shades" producer Dana Brunetti tweeted -- the next best thing the "Fifty Shades" team can do is knock the adaptation, written by Kelly Marcel, out of the park."Handled correctly, 'Fifty Shades' could catapult Johnson and Hunnam to the A-list," The Hollywood Reporter predicts. "If it fails, it could end up like 'Showgirls,' whose star, Elizabeth Berkley, never recovered."More from showbizWhat to look forward to in 2015The sexiest night on TVWhy we're obsessed with spiesPowered by Livefyre

Rudd, Gillard to answer tax critics in WA
PUBLISHED: 08 Jun 2010 08:33:08 | UPDATED: 10 Jun 2010 04:00:45PRINT EDITION: 08 Jun 2010
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will negotiate the muddy waters surrounding his proposed new mining tax in the same way he mastered Australia's response to the global financial crisis, a Labor MP says.
Labor wants to impose a 40 per cent tax on resources "super" profits, in exchange for business tax cuts, new infrastructure and superannuation changes.
Parliamentary secretary for Western and Northern Australia Gary Gray said if Mr Rudd could successfully steer the country through a major economic downturn, he could handle the tax.
"He led a cabinet that put together the policy response to the worst financial and economic crisis our nation faced," he told ABC Radio on Tuesday.
"I'm sure that dealing with the tax and our current political woes will come quite naturally to both the prime minister and his cabinet."
Labor has borne the brunt of two bad opinion polls already this week, which Mr Gray said partly reflected negative sentiment toward the planned mining tax.
But he warned of the consequences of electing Opposition Leader Tony Abbott instead.
"There is equally no doubt that in corporate Australia, when they look at the tax rate under the Rudd government of 28 cents in the dollar, or under Tony Abbott of 32 cents in the dollar, they begin to understand that substantial tax reform is preferable," he said.
Mr Rudd is preparing to hold a community cabinet in Western Australia – the heartland of tax discontent – on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard will address the WA Chamber of Commerce and Industry labour shortages summit in Perth on Tuesday.
The organisation's chief economist John Nicolaou said members were getting ready to voice their concerns about the proposed mining tax.
"This tax isn't a tax on mining, it is a tax on the prosperity of the WA economy and the nation's economy," he said.
"The mining sector does play such an important role in the economic development of this state and the nation."

On Pattinson
Match Preview | 6th September 2010
Nottinghamshire Director of Cricket Mick Newell hopes to call on Darren Pattinson when he finalises his team to face Yorkshire in the penultimate round of LV= County Championship fixtures.
Pattinson appears to be winning his fitness battle after limping out of the Durham defeat with a sprained ankle but Jake Ball has been included as cover in a 13-man squad.
�If we get four dry days then I am sure there will be a result in the game because the Trent Bridge pitches haven�t been conducive to draws this season,� said Newell.
�The winner will be a strong position and the key battle for me will be our top order batsmen against a young Yorkshire seam attack.�
Yorkshire still retain hope of winning the LV= County Championship although Somerset are perhaps the most likely title challengers.
They lie third in the LV= County Championship, 25 points behind leaders Notts and three behind second-placed Somerset.
�Somerset are still in it but we have no control over how many points they will pick up whereas we have a lot of control over how many points Yorkshire will pick up so we won�t concern ourselves with what is going on elsewhere,� said Newell.
�We�ve put the Durham fixture behind us and addressed any areas of concern and we�re completely focussed on Yorkshire.�
Samit Patel is likely to open the batting alongside Alex Hales with Mark Wagh and Adam Voges completing the top four. Play begins at 10.30am.
Nottinghamshire team to face Yorkshire (from): Samit Patel, Alex Hales, Mark Wagh, Adam Voges, Ali Brown, Chris Read, Steven Mullaney, Paul Franks, Andre Adams, Luke Fletcher, Darren Pattinson, Jake Ball, Neil Edwards

Note: Unfortunately, the Minnesota Zephyr Dinner Train is no longer running. A Stillwater tourism icon for more than two decades, The Zephyr has carried more than a million passengers while cruising back and forth along a 6-mile route north of Stillwater and along the bluffs of the St. Croix River, before heading west along a creek. High fuel prices and a terrible economy forced owner David Paradeau to declare that New Year's Eve 2008 would be the final run of the famous Dinner Train before going out of business.
It is quite unfortunate, since the trip and dinner, while a tad pricy, was definitely worth it: a super fun affair. The Minnesota DNR has acquired the rights to the property and has plans to convert the rail line into the Brown's Creek State Trail. Fortunately, I at least have the memories... rk
It's pretty easy to fall into the same old "flowers and chocolate" trap for Valentine's Day. This year, I decided to look for something different, something unique. Perhaps a... yeah, that's it, a romantic getaway! But where to go was the big question. This needed to be something very special, and not so close by. When I really want to "get away," my instincts seem to always direct me North.
I had heard about the town of Stillwater, MN but had never visited it. I did a little research, and when I literally stumbled upon something called the dinner train (The Minnesota Zephyr), my mind was made up. This was something I knew we were going to enjoy. The drive from Chicago is about 6 hours. For some, that may seem like a long way to go for dinner. But it is a very easy drive and this particular dinner was well worth the trip! With Minneapolis so close (to Stillwater), there is plenty to do and a wide range of accommodations is available.
Driving into the town of Stillwater is like stepping into the past. The downtown area is lined with specialty stores and antique shops; building materials are mostly limestone and brick. Main Street (Route 95) runs parallel to the beautiful and scenic St. Croix River. One boards the dinner train on the north end of town at a restored railroad station*. Prior to boarding the Zephyr, browse through the gift shop or soak up some of the railroad and logging history of the area by perusing the many fascinating displays and old pictures.
*Thanks for a heads-up from RGH on 1-03-03: "The 'restored railroad station' statement is not accurate. The original station was built in 1888 and located near the interstate bridge. It was torn down 42 years ago to make way for a grocery store of all things, which has since been converted into a sorry excuse for a hotel. The station you visited is only a few years old and 'styled' after the original, albeit tastefully done." View the original structure at http://www.ci.stillwater.mn.us/library/stcroix.htm
The train itself is comprised of circa 1940 Pullman rail cars. Each car is decorated accordingly with a slightly different theme and each table is dressed "to the nines" with white linen table cloths, silverware and crystal in preparation for the upcoming five-course meal. We were seated at our table and immediately noticed the waiting shrimp cocktail and glasses of ice water, complete with lemon slices. A waitress delivered cocktails, and soon the lights were dimmed and the train began its slow journey into the night.
Over the course of the evening (about 3 1/2 hours) we were presented with more food than a hungry lumberjack could possibly eat! We dined on shrimp, cream of chicken & wild rice soup, salmon, old-fashioned cheesecake and more as the countryside slowly rolled by. Periodically, a quartet of period-dressed, smiling troubadours wandered through the car crooning melodious renditions such as "Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy" and "Sentimental Journey". It was almost as if the train were a time machine and had taken us back to the 1940's!
The evening was a memorable and enjoyable one indeed. I stepped off the train back in Stillwater feeling relaxed, reminiscent and very full. I am looking forward to a return trip to Stillwater, although next time I will plan a longer stay so I am able to do more exploring in this charming, old-fashioned town.

I think there is a lot of truth to what you are saying. Our local shelter has problems with both URIs and fungal infections. They can get away with it because they are part of the local government. If a rescuer had the same problems the animals would be forcibly removed as you have stated. I never did see the "sick" animals, in the videos of the Caboodle Ranch seizure. They all looked like healthy, happy cats to me. You would have thought they would have taken extensive videos of the sick animals to prove why they needed to raid the ranch. I wasn't there, so I don't know what the situation really was, but I know that because PETA was involved, any evidence would be suspect to me.

Yeah, Mad is ALL about the animals, as long as the "animals" are green and have pictures of presidents on them. She's a Liawyer. Why don't you have Steven spread some more "gossip" around town.
Really is that so?

I read online that the Lancaster Animal Control Shelter seized animals because it was paid $4500 to silent the alleged owner. That person has denied owning an animals but the DA says she had a moral responsibility to provide the basic necessities such as water and food. 2 testimony one from a woman who is convicted on numerous fraud charges who advertised on Craigslist as a housekeeper and a Sgt. from the Lancaster Animal Control. The convict in handcuffs testified that the alleged owner had hired and paid her $2000 to clean a property that had animals on it. She went to the Animal Control on the very first day because she says she saw animals without food or water. The alleged owner published online phone text messages from the convict and several members of her family who had repeatedly threated acts of violence and contacting animal control because they wanted more money. Animal Control Sgt. testified the cats were ill with 12 different diseases she couldn't determine how old the 12 she examined were but that they appeared skinny. 2 expert witnesses hired by the alleged owner says that sick cats can appear skinny even if food is provided. The alleged owner provided receipts for food she bought for the animals as well as vet receipts and their reports demonstrating the animals were fed and if they needed medical attention they received it. The Sgt. testified she had destroyed the animals after having them for 3 days. Employees of this facility got in touch with the alleged owner and provided her with images of what appears to be dead dogs they claim were shot with a gun while they were in cages at their facility. Video reports of this same shelter show animals inside cages at this facility with no water and food, looking frail and when the cameraman said something to one of the staff they reacted with indifference. The hardest thing as far as working with animals ... is to explain to people that, in order to prosecute someone successfully, you have to prove intent. It's difficult to prove that someone did something intentionally to harm an animal.
It's also necessary to prove the animal has been mistreated in some way. Just because you see a skinny cat or empty bowl you can't walk in and seize animals. In this case if we were to believe the testimony of these 2 witnesses if the Sgt. really believed the animals were in gave danger meaning being tortured and killed they had an obligation to go in at that moment and seize animals. Instead they waited a month to execute a raid, why wait so long?
We have to tread those waters carefully, we also have to watch that, when shelters are contacted about animal cruelty, it's not just someone being vindictive or having their own agenda.
A humane officer also can't march onto someone's property and take an animal that seems to be in distress, she noted.
The only way that can happen is if the animal is in imminent danger and on the brink of death. People have rights, and pets are considered property. We have to respect that. If the animals seized by Lancaster Animal Control were in imminent danger then why wait a month to do something?
Issues of animal cruelty aren't always obvious, Nields said — it's not just someone beating an animal or keeping one in a tiny cage.
For instance, a dog that is kept outside needs constant access to water and shelter.
But what seems like cruelty to one person might not be cruelty under the law. We, as pet owners who love our animals unconditionally, want to give them 5-star hotel accommodations. Others just give them the minimum care — it might be all they can afford.
We have to follow the law, not our opinions that might not be the way we would take care of an animal, but as long as it's within the guidelines of the law, there's not much we can do.

Prescription Medicines
There are many types of prescription medicines used to treat many medical problems. Your doctor and your pharmacist are your best sources to learn about your prescription medicines.
Guidelines for taking every kind of prescription medicine could fill a whole shelf of books. This topic gives you basic information about antibiotics, minor tranquilizers, and sleeping pills.
Antibiotics are drugs that kill bacteria. But they only work against bacteria. They don't kill viruses, so they won't work against a cold, the flu, or another viral illness. Unless you have a bacterial infection, it's best to avoid the possible harmful effects of antibiotics, which may include:
- Side effects. Antibiotics can cause nausea and diarrhea and can make you more sensitive to sunlight. Most of these common side effects are mild. But some side effects, such as allergic reactions, can be severe. They can cause shortness of breath or even death. If you have an unexpected reaction to an antibiotic, tell your doctor before you try another medicine.
- Other infections. Antibiotics kill most of the bacteria in your body that are sensitive to them, even the "good" bacteria that help your body. Antibiotics can ruin the balance of bacteria in your body, leading to an upset stomach, diarrhea, vaginal infections, or other problems.
- Bacterial resistance. Each time you take antibiotics, you are more likely to have some bacteria that the medicine doesn't kill. Over time, these bacteria change and become harder to kill. They become resistant to the medicine. The antibiotics that used to kill them no longer work.
If you and your doctor decide that you need an antibiotic, carefully follow the instructions for taking the medicine.
- Take the whole dose for as many days as your doctor tells you to, unless you have side effects you did not expect (in which case, call your doctor).
- Be sure you know any special instructions for taking the medicine. They should be printed on the label, but it's also a good idea to check with your doctor and pharmacist.
- Keep antibiotics in a cool, dry place. Check the label to see if you should store them in the refrigerator.
- Never give an antibiotic prescribed for one person to someone else.
- Do not save any extra antibiotics. And do not take one prescribed for another illness unless your doctor tells you it is okay. Ask your pharmacist about how to safely throw away your leftover medicine.
Minor Tranquilizers and Sleeping Pills
Some minor tranquilizers (such as Valium and Xanax) and sleeping pills (such as Ambien and Sonata) are widely prescribed. But these medicines can cause problems such as memory loss, addiction, and loss of balance. In rare cases, people who use them have done things like drive or eat while they're still asleep. These medicines also can cause a serious allergic reaction. So it's important to use them with caution.
Minor tranquilizers can be useful if you use them for a short time. But long-term use often isn't very helpful, and it increases the risk of addiction and mental problems.
Sleeping pills may help for a few days or a few weeks. But if you use them for more than a month, they are likely to cause more sleep problems than they solve. For other options, see the topic Sleep Problems.
If you have been taking minor tranquilizers or sleeping pills for a while, talk with your doctor. Ask if you can stop taking the medicine or if you can gradually take less of it over time. If you have felt unsteady or dizzy, have had any memory loss, or have had signs of an allergic reaction, tell your doctor.
Medicine Problems
There are many kinds of bad reactions to medicine. See the medication guidelines for tips on how to avoid common problems from medicines.
Side effects. Side effects are bad reactions to a medicine. They tend to be mild, but they can still bother you. In some cases, side effects can be serious.
Allergies. Some people have strong reactions to some medicines. These reactions can be deadly. To learn the signs of an allergic reaction, see the topic Allergic Reaction.
Medicine interactions. These happen when two or more medicines or herbal supplements mix in a person's body and cause a bad reaction. The symptoms can be severe and may be wrongly diagnosed as a new illness.
Medicine-food interactions. These happen when medicines react with food. Some drugs work best when you take them with food, but others should be taken on an empty stomach. Some medicine-food interactions can cause serious symptoms.
Overmedication. Sometimes the full adult dose of a medicine is too much for people over age 60 and for people who weigh less than the average adult. Taking too much of a medicine can be dangerous.
Addiction. Long-term use of some medicines can lead to dependency. You may have a severe reaction if you stop taking the medicine all at once. To make sure that you don't get addicted, use caution when you take certain medicines. To learn more, see the topic Alcohol and Drug Problems.

Wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow beneath the macula. These blood vessels often leak blood and fluid, which can cause loss of vision.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses a combination of laser and injected medicine to help treat wet AMD.
In this treatment, dye is used to make abnormal blood vessels sensitive to light. The dye is injected intravenously and activated by a low-power laser, sometimes called a "cold" laser.
The treatment seals the leaky blood vessels to prevent further vision loss.
Photodynamic therapy doesn't fix vision already damaged by AMD, but it may prevent further vision loss from the disease.
Not all patients with wet AMD are candidates for PDT. Patients should be seen by a retina specialist to determine eligibility.
For photodynamic therapy and other treatments for age-related macular degeneration, visit a Duke Eye Center near you in Durham, Raleigh, Cary, and other areas of North Carolina. Contact us for an appointment.

PHOENIX -- Maricopa County sheriff's deputies arrested a man for animal abuse after a puppy with two broken legs was taken to a local veterinarian.
Detectives said the puppy's former owner, Lyman Kenneth Morkunas II, admitted to knowing it was injured from a fight with an adult dog and did not take it to get medical treatment.
A couple who took in the injured pit bull puppy to care for it told detectives that Morkunas bragged about using a 16-pound sledgehammer to break up the fight, according to MCSO spokesman Sgt. Brandon Jones.
Detectives arrested Morkunas on one count of felony animal abuse. He was booked into the Fourth Avenue Jail on Friday and released shortly after his initial appearance.
Miles was 8 or 9 weeks old when the couple took him to the animal hospital on March 22. One of his legs had a severe fracture to the "elbow" joint while the other was shattered all the way through the bone. Miles also had multiple puncture wounds and a major infection had set in due to the delay in immediate medical treatment.
The couple said they couldn't afford the treatment for Miles and signed him over to the animal hospital. Panacea Animal Wellness Sanctuary (PAWS), an animal rescue, has been supplying funds for its care.
Miles will likely have to have one leg amputated if he doesn't receive the specialized surgery that's required to save it.
The animal rescue group needs to raise the necessary funds so they can save the dog's leg. The surgery will cost between $3,000 and $5,000. Visit www.pawsaz.org to donate.

Our restaurant's name pays homage to the building's roots. Constructed in the early 1900's, Pallet was originally the busy loading dock for Salt Lake Valley's first creamery. We've updated the interior, but preserving the building's heritage was vital, and we've taken measures to ensure that the history of the space remain intact.
The artwork in Pallet was commissioned specifically to speak to the era, and 100-year-old, reclaimed wood was used to create the dining-room flooring, tables, and the frame around our mirror over the bar. Even more notable are the many authentic details inside. Gashes in the brick, caused by loading trucks, are visible on our north wall. The concrete flooring near the bar marks the receiving dock area, and the original wood ceiling was repurposed on the south wall of the restroom corridor. As you enter that corridor, you'll pass through the original receiving-area garage door to find an antique typewriter, specific to the era and in perfect working condition, should you be inclined to leave us a note.
We hope you enjoy our cuisine, history, design and atmosphere. Welcome to Pallet.

Arctic Monkeys Are Big Winners At NME Awards
Arctic Monkeys were the big winners at this year's NME Awards - picking up five gongs.
They picked up best album for AM, best live band and best British band, lead singer Alex Turner was voted hero of the year and the Arctics also landed the best fan community prize.
Sir Paul McCartney collected an honorary prize for his songwriting skills and admitted: "The great thing about songwriting is that you don't know how you do it, so you can't talk about it."
The former Beatle was given a standing ovation as he was handed the honour by Damon Albarn.
"What can I say other than I love him like millions and millions of other people. He's a lovely spirit and a beautiful human being," Albarn said.
The Blur and Gorillaz star was himself a winner, collecting the innovation prize for the continual reinvention of his career.
Lily Allen was named best solo artist after her return to the industry from 'retirement'.
"This is kind of dumb because David Bowie was in the same category, and Jake Bugg. This goes to you guys, not me," she said.
Belle & Sebastian collected the outstanding contribution to music prize, with Scottish guitarist Stevie Jackson joking about David Bowie's Brit Awards plea for Scotland to remain in the UK.
"England stay with us - at least just for a night. And if we do leave you, let's stay friends," he said.
US band Blondie, fronted by 68-year-old Debbie Harry, were handed the Godlike genius prize.

Why Silicon Labs (SLAB) Is Up Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Silicon Labs (SLAB - Get Report) gained 7.9% to $46.43 Wednesday after beating earnings and revenue estimates in its fourth quarter results.
During its fiscal fourth quarter, the chipmaker reported earnings of 49 cents a share, beating the Capital IQ Consensus Estimate of 43 cents a share by 6 cents. Revenue for the quarter fell 4.1% year over year to $146.2 million, but Silicon Labs still beat the consensus estimate of $142.9 million.
Silicon Labs said broad-based revenue was $72.4 million for the quarter, reflecting a record quarter for microcontrollers and wireless. The revenue was offset by lower-than-expected revenue in the weak telecom infrastructure market.
In addition to earnings report, Silicon Labs issued stronger-than-expected guidance for the first quarter of 2014. Silicon Labs expects earnings between 40 and 44 cents a share. Capital IQ Consensus Estimate puts earnings at 41 cents a share for the quarter. The company's revenue guidance is between $142 million and $146 million, compared to analysts' estimate of $141.3 million.
TheStreet Ratings team rates SILICON LABORATORIES INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate SILICON LABORATORIES INC (SLAB) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed -- some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, increase in stock price during the past year and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including unimpressive growth in net income, disappointing return on equity and weak operating cash flow." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- SLAB's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.13 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 3.26, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- Compared to where it was 12 months ago, the stock is up, but it has so far lagged the appreciation in the S&P 500. Looking ahead, our view is that this company's fundamentals will not have much impact in either direction, allowing the stock to generally move up or down based on the push and pull of the broad market.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 34.8% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $10.02 million to $6.53 million.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. When compared to other companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry and the overall market, SILICON LABORATORIES INC's return on equity is below that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Founded under the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862 as the Massachusetts Agricultural College, UMass Amherst has long been dedicated to the study and teaching of agriculture and the natural sciences. One of two land grant institutions in the Commonwealth (along with MIT), the university has played an important role in the development of scientific agriculture in New England and has been a major factor in agricultural instruction through its classes and extension service.
SCUA's collections contain a wealth of information on the history of agriculture and related fields, including horticulture, botany, entomology, animal husbandry, gardening, and landscape design. The strength of the collection lies in documenting the development of American agricultural sciences with an emphasis upon the northeastern states, but it is supplemented with numerous works on British, French, and German agriculture. Adding additional depth are the records of the several departments at UMass Amherst charged with instruction in the agricultural sciences and the papers of individual agricultural educators.
Currently, SCUA is particularly interested in documenting the growth of organic agriculture, heritage breeds, and the practices of sustainable living.

Anglin family
Anglin Family Papers, 1874-1955 (Bulk: 1914-1926).
Call no.: MS 699
Born in Cork, Ireland to a prosperous family, the Anglin siblings began immigrating to Canada and the United States in 1903. The first to relocate to Canada, brothers Will and Sydney pursued vastly different careers, one as a Presbyterian minister and the other as a salesman at a Toronto slaughterhouse. George and Crawford both served in the military during World War I, the former in the British Infantry as a medical officer and the latter in the 4th University Overseas Company first in France and later in Belgium where he died saving the life of a wounded soldier. Gladys Anglin trained as a nurse, but worked in a Canadian department store and at the Railway Office before suffering a mental breakdown and entering the Ontario Hospital as a patient. Ethel remained in Ireland the longest where she taught Domestic Economics at a technical school. The only Anglin to immigrate to the United States and the only female sibling to marry, Ida and husband David Jackson settled in Monson, Massachusetts where they raised four daughters.
The Anglin siblings were part of a close knit family who stayed in contact despite their geographic separation through their correspondence. Siblings wrote and exchanged lengthy letters that document not only family news, but also news of local and national significance. Topics addressed in their letters include World War I, the Irish revolution, medicine, religious ministry, and domestic issues from the ability of a single woman to support herself through work to child rearing.

Brinley Family
Brinley Family Papers, 1643-1950.
Call no.: MS 161
A prosperous family of merchants and landowners, the Brinleys were well ensconced among the social and political elite of colonial New England. Connected by marriage to other elite families in Rhode Island and Massachusetts — the Auchmutys, Craddocks, and Tyngs among them — the Brinleys were refined, highly educated, public spirited, and most often business-minded. Although many members of the family remained loyal to the British cause during the Revolution, the family retained their high social standing in the years following.
The Brinley collection includes business letters, legal and business records, wills, a fragment of a diary, documents relating to slaves, newspaper clippings, and a small number of paintings and artifacts. A descendent, Nancy Brinley, contributed a quantity of genealogical research notes and photocopies of Brinley family documents from other repositories. Of particular note in the collection is a fine nineteenth century copy of a John Smibert portrait of Deborah Brinley (1719), an elegant silver tray passed through the generations, and is a 1713 list of the library of Francis Brinley, which offers a foreshadowing of the remarkable book collection put together in the later nineteenth century by his descendant George Brinley.

Brooks, Burt V.
Burt V. Brooks Photograph Collection, 1889-1934.
Call no.: PH 060
The artist Burt Vernon Brooks was one of the outstanding chroniclers of daily life in the Swift River Valley before it was inundated to create the Quabbin Reservoir. Born in Brimfield, Mass., in 1849 and raised in Monson, Brooks moved to Greenwich with his family in the 1870s, where he worked on the family farm. At some unclear point before he turned 40, Brooks became active as an artist, painting local homes and scenery and taking photographs of the landscape, residents, and daily life in the Quabbin region. A prolific photographer, he was, in the words of historian Donald W. Howe, "hardly ever seen without his camera strapped to his back," remaining active for decades. Three years after following his second wife to the west, Brooks died in Los Angeles in 1934.
The great majority of the 92 photographs in this collection are 5×7″ dry plate glass negatives taken by Brooks in the earliest years of the twentieth century, documenting the houses and people of Greenwich. Brooks' work includes landscapes, houses, and a significant series of images of the Hillside School, but some of his best works are studio portraits, images of people at home or with their carriages, and posed scenes of children at play or at work. The collection also includes eight images by Brooks at Enfield, Greenwich, and Dana that are the property of the Swift River Valley Historical Society, and six images taken by Chetwynd and Pike in the Quabbin region to document properties slated for removal.

Red-light districts were commonplace in big cities throughout the 20th century. But in recent years, New York City has seen the midtown areas with high concentrations of sex workers empty out. The trade has moved indoors and diffused into more-upscale districts downtown.
Distribution of Prostitution
Low Density Medium Density High Density
What is it like to be a prostitute? The answer depends on whether you work out of a client's car or a $500-a-night hotel room. In 1999, I set out to study the effects of efforts to bring the suburban middle class back to New York City. The gentrification of Times Square made for a unique social experiment: What happens to sex workers when they are pushed off the streets and into the outer boroughs? I had little idea at the time that I'd be documenting the rise of an entirely new, upper-end "indoor" market, in which streetwalkers have given way to a professional class.
The economies of big cities have been reshaped by a demand for high-end entertainment, cuisine, and "wellness" goods. In the process, "dating," "massage," "escort," and "dancing" have replaced hustling and streetwalking. A luxury brand has been born.
These changes have made sex for hire more expensive. But luxe pricing has in turn helped make prostitution, well… somewhat respectable. Whereas men once looked for a secretive tryst, now they seek a mistress with no strings attached, a "girlfriend experience," and they are willing to pay top dollar for it.
Technology has played a fundamental role in this change. No self-respecting cosmopolitan man looking for an evening of companionship is going to lean out his car window and call out to a woman at a traffic light. The Internet and the rise of mobile phones have enabled some sex workers to professionalize their trade. Today they can control their image, set their prices, and sidestep some of the pimps, madams, and other intermediaries who once took a share of the revenue. As the trade has grown less risky and more lucrative, it has attracted some middle-class women seeking quick tax-free income.
I followed 290 women, 170 of whom made enough (at least $30,000) to separate them from streetwalkers. I spent at least 12 months earning their trust, trying not to ask a lot of prying questions. Once they realized I wasn't a cop or social worker, they usually told me their stories. I focused on financial questions first, because it made them feel validated as workers. How much did you earn this week? What expenses did you have? Do you save any money?
The figures on the next page highlight some of the contrasts between old-world prostitutes and new-age sex workers. Yet they also suggest that some things haven't changed: Even women who don't work on the street report hiding their activities from their families and being abused.

I might be getting some goats this summer but I don't know how to build the goat's stall. We already have a big barn so were not building barn. I am probably going to build a 10 x 10 goat stall for two goats. And then the milking area will be in a seperate part of the barn and I might build a seperate area for kidding....but not now. So what I'm wondering is how high to build the stall walls in the barn. I'll probably build them out of 2x4s or jsut slats of wood. I'm not gonig to build them from the floor to the ceiling because the ceiling is really, really high. So would 4 ft. be high enough or should it be higher or lower??? I'm probably gonig to get toggenburgs or lamanchas. My other question is if I should put rubber stall mats in their stall. Our barn has a cement floor but I will put a good amount of shavings or straw in the stall. But should I put stall mats on top of the cemnt floor and then put the bedding on top of that??? This is what the stall mats look like: http://www.tractorsupply.com/equine/hor ... t--2219003
Our stalls are 10x10 and our pen walls are 4ft high and I don't have any problems with it.Stall mats aren't needed.Just layer the floors with shavings to absorb urine and then straw over top so it keeps a dry area for them to lay on.
We built our stall walls out of pallets - worked great. We have boers & boer/mix & a kiko doe and no one has ever gotten over a pallet. I love them because all you do is mount them, just make sure the spaces aren't too wide so that kids can slip through them. I also love them because they are.....free LOL
HoosierShadow- I built a pallet wall to separate my doe and kid when it was weaning. I used a 3ft pallet but found out that it was to short, the mother jumped right over it . So would be better to use 4 ft pallets .

I use 4ft pallets and none of our goats have ever been able to get over them <boer and boer crosses>. It's hard for me to get good pics because my lenses are a bit long, but this is how we have them, and my husband nailed them together. They are taller on end like in the picture.

This site is back – and back to stay. We have a new server, and some new tools we'll be able to share soon to help the CDM community share tools and techniques more easily.
And sometimes, wonderful things just happen when the time is right. Case in point: a whole new set of beginning Reaktor tutorials, covering all the basic tasks you might like to accomplish. For newcomers to Reaktor, these will be ideal, as they get you rolling on a specific tasks — like, build me a sampler or do something cool and granular and delicious — without assuming a lot of prior knowledge. But if you do have prior knowledge, these will fill in some gaps even for intermediate users.
Topics so far:
- Programming and patching: intro and a simple synth
- Effects: envelope generator, ring mod, tape decay
- Grain Delay
- Sampler
- Granulation modules (similar to our own series on the topic)
Creator Mats Claesson of Norway is interesting himself, with a background in classical guitar, a resume that includes work with John Cage and Iannis Xenakis, and ballet composition. If you can read Norwegian, there's a lot more.
I have some additional Reaktor tutorials that, at long last, I'll be publishing within the next two weeks – in a new format that will allow others to build upon the same work.
We won't be disappearing for two months again, but with these tutorials and Reaktor in hand, you may.

My favorite lesbian tribbing video
Posted in Lesbian TribbingI think there is one of the hottest lesbian tribbing videos. Girls take a shower together and then go to the bedroom. Their sex session starts with sensual kisses. They kiss each other's cherry lips and pet each other's tits. Finally they become really horny and start to make lesbian tribbing. I'm ready to watch these scenes again and again. Two sexy girls rub their pussy lips against each other and moan with pleasure. They even tried to make trib sex in some exotic position. Take a look at this tribbing video and you'll be really excited. By the way it ends with hot pussy licking!
