Although patients scheduled to undergo lumbar disc surgery often ask when they are allowed to drive a motor vehicle again, there are no published recommendations on this subject.
We conducted a prospective study in 46 consecutive patients (mean age 48.9 years) to determine driving reaction time (DRT) before and after surgery in patients with lumbar disc herniation. Of the patients 23 had left-side radiculopathy and 23 right-side radiculopathy. Driving reaction time as well as back and leg pain were evaluated preoperatively, on the day of discharge from hospital and at the 5-week follow-up examination (FU). 31 healthy subjects were tested as controls.
Significant improvement in DRT was seen for both patient samples (p < 0.05). For patients with a right-side radiculopathy preoperative DRT was 664 ms (median, IQR: 241), which was reduced to 605 ms (median, IQR: 189) immediately postoperatively and to 593 ms (median, IQR: 115) at FU. For patients with a left-side radiculopathy DRT was 675 ms (median, IQR: 247) preoperatively, 638 ms (median, IQR: 242) postoperatively and 619 ms (median, IQR: 162) at FU. Pain was moderately correlated to DRT. Control subjects had a driving reaction time of 487 (median, IQR: 116), which differed significantly from patients at all three testing times (p < 0.001).
Our data indicate a positive effect of the surgery on driving ability. Therefore, we would suggest that for both patient samples it is safe to continue driving after hospital discharge. However, patients have to be informed about increased DRT caused by radiculopathy already before surgery.

Good points, Brian. Distinctions as to the types of trees planted are very important as well. I've seen dismally poor choices by developers time and time again in their attempt to force the impression of an "established" appearance for their McMansion subdivisions. Their heinous overuse of non-native, fast-growing softwoods and flowering ornamentals is a dead giveaway.
Proper soil preparation is seldom done, so these hapless trees must struggle to survive in very poor soils "amended" with various construction debris until their untimely deaths. Of course, the developer tries his best to make it attractive as evidenced by his overuse of another ubiquitous landscaping material — pine bark mulch — by the kilotonne! Worse yet is the artificially dyed RED mulch, yet it somehow seems appropriate around garish McMansions.

New solar nest | Firehouse savings | A farm-inspired life
Iowa-born Beth Hoffmann credits her mother's frugal, Depression-era rituals with grooming her for the green lifestyle she follows and models for her children and grandchildren.
Her eco-friendly ways began on the farm where she was reared, Hoffmann says. It is there that she learned to garden, can, sew, recycle, reuse and never toss.
The practices weren't called green then, they were simply common sense, she says.
Hoffmann has sustained these childhood habits into adulthood and her move to Arizona. It is here that she became a passionate advocate for straw-bale housing. (Her Web site is strawmakescents.com.)
She built her own straw-bale house nine years ago near downtown Tempe.
Designed by her son, the 1,200-square-foot home was built with 160 bales of straw covered with eight coats of mud plaster outside and four coats inside. The 24-inch-thick walls keep average monthly utility bills hovering at $20, minus the basic fee and taxes.
Trees surround her home and a wide covered porch on the east side overlooking her garden creates a passive solar climate. Two garden beds meet nearly all of her vegetable needs. She describes herself as mostly a vegetarian. She occasionally eats chicken and fish, never red meat. Citrus trees provide fruit.
Hoffmann is a member of the Phoenix Permaculture Guild, a non-profit group that promotes sustainable living.
She has a rain-water catchment system that irrigates her vegetables and trees.
Every five weeks she fills the 10-gallon gas tank on her Toyota Echo. She averages about 35 miles to the gallon.
She has no clothes dryer, dishwasher or garbage disposal, preferring to hang clothes outside, dry her own dishes and compost leftovers.
The thought of plastic bags makes her blanch.
Her home has lots of natural light so she rarely turns on the lights, and when she does they are compact fluorescent bulbs.
When she watches television in her bedroom at night, the light from the set is ample for seeing, she says.
She buys environmentally friendly cleaning products, toilet paper and the occasional paper towel.
Recently, she installed a bamboo fence at the edge of her property to shield her porch view from the neighbors. Bamboo is a renewable material and worked better for her than planting a screen of vines or bushes.
Her advice to people wanting to begin a green lifestyle would be to build a straw-bale home if possible. And short of that, plant trees.
"Plant as many trees as your place can stand."
And the other steps would be common-sense ones: save, don't waste.
"The Earth is beautiful, why not save it," Hoffmann says.
Beth Hoffman, of Tempe, lives in a home built from straw bales, complete with concrete floors, a bamboo fence and solar panels. Her back porch includes a wide overhang and raised garden beds.

If it's always been your dream to become a professional wrestler, now is your chance to become one, although it will only be through virtual means. WWE 2K is now available for mobile devices and it is the first simulation-style WWE game that they've ever released on this platform. You can act as your favorite wrestling superstars and even play against them as well in the only authentic in-ring mobile game which can bring you all the WWE mobile action you'd want.
The game features an almost full roster of WWE superstars including Jon Cena, Triple H, Sting, Undertaker, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and many more. But if you've developed in your head your own wrestling persona, you can make him or her come alive in this game as you have the option to create your own wrestling superstar. You can choose from among different game modes to play either your own character or one of the "real" wrestlers. Career mode lets you go through a whole WWE journey, with the ultimate goal of reaching the Hall of Fame. You get to earn "respect", upgrade skills, earn titles, achieve goals, etc.
If you feel like you still have a lot to learn, you can play the Training mode. You'll be able to learn the "nuances of the deep gameplay" as you maneuver your way through the game and the organization, with a little help. If you feel like going against real, virtual people, you can use the Real-Time Multiplayer mode and go against friends or other players in the WWE Universe.
Downloading this game will cost you a bit, $7.99 to be exact, but if you're a huge fan of the WWE and wrestling in general, that should be worth it. You can download it from the Google Play Store.

We were too lazy to venture to the spa, so cannot pass comment on this, but the everything else was spot on.

No injuries were reported Sunday in a Leavenworth house fire that resulted in an estimated $110,000 in damage, a Fire Department spokesman said.
The fire was reported at 12:30 p.m. Sunday at 3512 Remington Lane.
Fire Capt. Walt Terron said firefighters could see smoke coming from windows when they arrived on scene. When they entered the residence, there was heavy fire in two areas, a living room and an upstairs bedroom. Firefighters extinguished the flames.
Terron said the heat source that ignited the fire was determined to be a cigarette lighter, but he didn't have additional details about the investigation.

If you don't have hours to spend choosing and maintaining the investment mix in your retirement account, then a lifecycle fund, sometimes called a target-date fund, may be a good option for you.
A lifecycle fund divides your savings among different asset classes, and then adjusts your holdings as you age. Most lifecycle funds invest their money in other mutual funds, known as a "fund of funds" strategy.
Each lifecycle fund is designed for investors who plan to retire in, or close to, the year identified in the fund's name (the "target year"). So, for example, if you're 35 today and expect to retire in about 30 years, or in 2044, you might look for a fund with 2045 in its name. Because of their focus on a specific target, lifecycle funds are sometimes also known as target-date funds.
Why invest in a lifecycle fund versus choosing your own investments? With a lifecycle fund you turn over the often complex task of managing your assets over to professional investment managers who make ongoing asset allocation decisions for the fund.
As the fund progresses toward its target year, the managers gradually steer the fund's asset allocation away from equities and toward more conservative fixed-income and cash investments. One of the main advantages of lifecycle funds is that your retirement funds will be well diversified without your having to choose a number of different investments or funds on your own.
Since you're invested in a complete investment portfolio in a single fund, it can lessen the urge to buy and sell assets when markets turn volatile. Buying and selling in response to market highs and lows can lower your returns over time.
An important feature of any lifecycle fund is the fund's "glidepath design," or how the fund moves over time toward a more conservative, less risky asset allocation as you near retirement. A fund's glidepath design should factor in the potential for returns as well as possible sources of investment risk. The design should also take into account the increasing life expectancy of the U.S. population in an effort to balance market risk with the risk of outliving your money. You generally want to hold some assets in equities even as you near retirement and after you stop working, so that a portion of your nest egg can continue to grow, helping to prevent you from outliving your savings. A sample glidepath design is shown below.
Other things to consider when choosing a lifecycle fund include the expenses the fund charges, which can vary from one fund company to another, and whether the fund invests in a broad range of asset classes, such as small-cap stocks, emerging markets and high-yield bonds.
Different lifecycle funds can follow different asset management approaches. Some invest all their assets into actively managed mutual funds, others invest in index mutual funds, and some use a mix of index and active funds.
In an actively managed mutual fund, a professional fund manager uses analytical research and his or her own experience and judgment to build a portfolio of individual stocks or bonds. Actively managed funds may provide returns above the performance of the overall stock or bond markets, although they may also underperform.
In an index or passive strategy, the manager sets out to track the performance of a particular benchmark, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 index. Index fund expenses are generally lower than actively managed funds or annuities. While index funds are designed to track the performance of the indexes they follow, investors generally won't meet or exceed the index performance after fees are deducted.
Consider seeking guidance from a professional financial advisor. Choosing which lifecycle fund is best for you can be a challenge. A trusted professional financial advisor can offer valuable guidance.
Please note, the target date for lifecycle funds is the approximate date when investors plan to start withdrawing their money. The principal value of the fund(s) is not guaranteed at any time, including at the target date.
Please note that equity mutual funds are subject to market risk and volatility; fixed income funds are not guaranteed and are subject to interest rate, inflation, and credit risks.

Chile Central Bank Raises Growth, Inflation Estimates
Chile's economy will probably expand the most in five years as it recovers from last year's recession and February's earthquake, the central bank said, raising its forecasts for growth and inflation this year.
Gross domestic product will likely grow 5 percent to 5.5 percent this year while annual inflation may reach 3.9 percent, the bank said in a report today. That compares with estimates of 4 percent to 5 percent GDP growth and 3.8 percent inflation in its previous monetary report published June 16.
Policy makers, who increased the benchmark lending rate by half a percentage point at each of their last three meetings, will continue raising rates as South America's fifth-largest economy rebounds faster than economists forecast. The economy grew 7.1 percent in July from a year earlier and 6.5 percent in the three months through June.
"After several years of strong turbulence and natural disasters, the Chilean economy is in good position to continue with a sustained rhythm of growth," central bank President Jose De Gregorio said today in a speech to the Senate.
Monetary stimulus will continue to be removed at a pace determined by internal and external macroeconomic conditions, according to today's report. The benchmark rate will rise from today's 2 percent to 3.5 percent in six months, according to the median estimate of 41 traders in a biweekly central bank survey published today.
"The dilemma isn't whether the monetary policy rate should continue increasing or not, but at what rate," De Gregorio told senators.
One-year interest-rate swap contracts rose 11 basis points, the most since July 21, to 3.77 percent. The two-year rate rose nine basis points to 4.18 percent. Chile's peso, little changed today, has risen 10 percent this quarter, the best performer among 25 emerging-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
Chile's economic growth exceeded economists' forecasts in each of the four months from April through July. The economy grew an average of 6.7 percent in those four months and 4.5 percent in the first seven months of 2010, according to calculations by Bloomberg based on central bank data.
Chile's recovery has helped close the gap between actual output and productive capacity, the bank said.
"Considering that to June internal activity and demand were faster than expected, it can't be ruled out that gaps continue to close at a faster pace than the one contemplated in the base scenario," policy makers said in the report.
Quake Rebuilding
The economy will continue to expand this year as earthquake rebuilding efforts boost construction growth, Juan Pablo Castro, an economist at Banco Santander SA in Santiago, said in a Sept. 6 note to investors.
The economy could grow 5.5 percent in 2010 as consumer demand and inventory replenishment continue to support internal demand, Aldo Lema and Cesar Guzman, economists at Inversiones Security in Santiago, wrote in a Sept. 6 note to clients.
Retail sales in Chile rose 19 percent in July from the previous year, 18 percent in June and 19 percent in May, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Industrial production increased 3.3 percent in July, 2.9 percent in June and 4.2 percent in May.
"It also can't be ruled out that a major part of this dynamism has been in response to merely transitory factors like those associated with the Feb. 27 earthquake," the bank said in the report.
Mitigate Inflation
The rising peso may mitigate the inflationary effect of Chile's expanding economy, De Gregorio said.
"Despite the faster closing of output gaps, total inflation will follow a similar path to that previously expected, but underlying inflation will be more limited," he said. "That difference is principally due to one-off factors in some prices and the effect of lower imported inflationary pressures."
Consumer prices unexpectedly fell in August from the previous month on lower transport and financial costs, the National Statistics Institute said in a report today. Prices declined 0.1 percent from July and grew 2.6 percent from the previous year, the institute said. The central bank targets inflation of 3 percent plus or minus a percentage point.
"This data does not change the direction of monetary policy or the expectations of vigorous growth with contained inflation that we presented in this report," De Gregorio said.

The UFC said Saturday that all tickets for its April 30 event at Rogers Centre in Toronto have been sold.
Rogers Centre was originally configured to accommodate 42,000 spectators, but due to increasing public demand it was reconfigured to seat 55,000 fans.
"UFC continues to set new milestones," UFC president Dana White said. "We've sold 55,000 tickets in our first stadium event in Toronto and we continue to take the UFC to the next level."
UFC 129 will be the first mixed martial arts event held in Ontario. It is expected to more than double the promotion's record for largest crowd to witness a live event.
It will be headlined by two title fights, both featuring Canadians. George St. Pierre looks to defend his welterweight belt against Jake Shields, and fellow Canadian Mark Hominick faces current featherweight champion Jose Aldo.
The largest number of spectators for a UFC event was 23,000 at UFC 124, headlined by St. Pierre and Josh Koscheck. That event was held on Dec. 11, 2010, at Bell Centre in Montreal.
UFC 129 is also expected to shatter the promotion's mark for live gate revenue. The current record for a live gate is $5.4 million, set on Dec. 30, 2006, for UFC 66 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Comments about 'Broadway musical misses the point'

I think the church misses the point. Sure, they've always got a laundry list of good things they do, but that wasn't and isn't the point of the broadway musical. They've got a powerful PR machine (witness this letter) that makes sure they're heard. And, in a larger world, all these 'good' activities aside, they say and do things that are peculiar, weird or ruffle feathers. So they shouldn't be surprised if popular culture takes advantage of it from time to time.

Excellent article by Michael Otterson. It is much more comprehensive than
To Hutterite: what point does the Church miss? Fitting in or being like the rest of the world? I agree with that. Its purpose is to bring all men to Christ. Coming unto Christ requires resisting desires that prevent us from from coming unto him.
Yes, the Church has ability to be heard. It helps us in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ! ,as all must here it and be able to choose to follow its message.
As such, yes, we describe ourselves as peculiar. And anyone studying church history knows of the persecution we have endured. We are used to being peculiar.

Fantastic article, Brother Otterson! I whole-heartedly agree that for most of us, this whole episode has been and will continue to be met with shrugs. We have much more important things to do than wring our hands over such nonsense! Broadway (and Hollywood, for that matter) will continue to demean and devalue the work we do (probably for years to come) because it has always been in the nature of those who do not understand or value goodness to discredit it if they can. This is one way they try to justify their own choices. But, they have failed (again) and will continue to fail because we do the work of the Lord and nothing can stand in the way of His work.

I believe that this is the definitive response to the "controversy" that has arisen over this play. It is a controversy that swirls in the media and does not, and needs not influence believing LDS members in any way, since it is factually inaccurate, as has been skillfully illustrated in this statement.

HAMBURG German authorities said a case of H5N1 bird flu had been discovered during initial tests on a poultry farm in the eastern state of Brandenburg.
The case was discovered in a duck farm, which was carrying out its own tests, the Brandenburg state agriculture ministry said on Friday.
The H5N1 virus mainly affects birds but occasionally jumps to people. Experts fear it may mutate into a form that could spread easily among humans, who have no natural immunity against it.
The initial finding was confirmed by a state laboratory, and final tests are currently being carried out, the state ministry said.
The farm has been sealed off and its poultry will be culled, the statement said.
The cause is unknown and an investigation has started.
Bird flu is currently present in Asian countries including China, Cambodia and Indonesia. It has also been reported in wild birds in parts of Europe.
On January 29, the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) said governments must not allow financial constraints caused by the current global economic crisis to stop them from keeping their guard up against the spread of bird flu.

I have a specific python2.7 folder where I would like to install packages using pip. The default python install is python 2.6
I managed to install numpy with
<python2.7Folder>/pip -t ... numpy. The problem is that it compiled using the default python 2.6 libs and not it does not work .
When I try to run numpy from python 2.7 I get this :
undefined symbol: _PyUnicodeUCS4_IsWhitespace ... expectable.
So I try to uninstall this, but can't do it as it tried to uninstall it from the default python install.
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pip-1.1-py2.6.egg/pip/req.py", line 410, in uninstall
raise UninstallationError("Cannot uninstall requirement %s, not installed" % (self.name,))
The questions are:
- how can I first uninstall the numpy package from a specific folder, from a specific python path.
- How can I reinstall numpy, this itme using a specific path for the python includes ?

SURPRISE, Ariz. — Texas catcher Geovany Soto has a tear in his right knee that will sideline him for 10 to 12 weeks, the latest injury setback for the Rangers.
A day after Soto's knee locked up and forced him to leave a game against San Diego in the second inning, the Rangers said Monday he will have surgery on Wednesday to repair torn cartilage.
On Sunday, the team announced that second baseman Jurickson Profar would miss at least 10 weeks with a torn muscle in his right shoulder.
"We've lost two everyday players and there is no way to sugarcoat that," Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said Monday. "It is what it is. We'll look towards our depth and see where we go from here."
This will be Soto's second surgery this spring training. He had a procedure on his left foot on Feb. 22 and had played in only six exhibition games, going 4 for 12.
Soto hit .245 in 54 games in 2013 with Texas.
"It's really unfortunate," Soto said. "I feel devastated.''
With Soto out, J.P. Arencibia and Robinson Chirinos are the top candidates to start at catcher.

EATING OUT; The Latin Flavors
Published: April 21, 2000
In the last few years, restaurants offering Latin American food have opened all over Manhattan. Some feature the food of a single country like Brazil or Argentina, while others calling themselves Pan-Latin combine the cuisines of Central and South America. Here are a dozen Latin American restaurants, both new and old. (These summaries are taken from dining reviews, columns and articles in The Times by William Grimes, Eric Asimov and others.)
1.Boca Chica
(212) 473-0108
13 First Avenue, at First Street
East Village
$ All major cards
Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina, Mexico, Cuba and the Dominican Republic are just some of the countries whose cuisines are juxtaposed on the intriguing Pan-Latin menu at Boca Chica. The food is generally hearty and sometimes spicy, as with the blistering alitas de pollo -- moist, meaty chicken wings marinated in honey and spices and then grilled. It can send even the proudest chili fanatic directly to the water glass. Lagging only slightly on the inferno meter is shrimp Ticul from Mexico, grilled and served in a searing green-chili-and-lime sauce. More restrained choices include camarones chipotle, which are shrimp in a tomato, chili and cilantro sauce, given a rich, smoky note by the chipotle peppers, and crisp, tangy chicharones de pollo, the classic Dominican dish of chicken pieces marinated in lime, soy and spices, served not fried, as is traditional, but broiled.
2. Cabana Carioca
(212) 581-8088
123 West 45th Street
$$ All major cards
This folksy Brazilian restaurant is a prime choice for inexpensive, filling and delicious food in the theater district. Dishes like roast suckling pig, garlicky roast chicken and feijoada, Brazil's national dish, are not likely to win awards for subtlety, but you will leave stuffed. Inexpensive stews and seafood casseroles are fresh and lustily seasoned. The upstairs dining room is so packed that one might snatch a taste of food from a neighboring table without turning one's head.
3. Calle Ocho
[Rating: 1 star]
(212) 873-5025
446 Columbus Avenue, near 81st Street
$$ All major cards
Since this restaurant arrived at the end of 1998, the Upper West Side has been so dizzy with gratitude that the place is filled every night. Lively and casual with a busy bar and lounge, Calle Ocho has a cavernous main dining room seating nearly 200 people. The cooking is as hectic as the nonstop high-volume Latin soundtrack. The chef, Alex Garcia, serves complicated ceviches and seductive shrimp chowders. Camarones, big shrimp brushed with rum and beautifully arranged around a heap of fried seaweed, are almost irresistible, while lobster ceviche spread across sliced mangos is appealing, too. Thick, moist slabs of pork loin pick up a spicy piquancy after being rubbed with adobo, a paste made from ground chilies, and they find just the right surroundings in a big dollop of chipotle mashed potatoes and roasted corn salsa.
4. Chicama
[Rating: 2 stars]
(212) 505-2233
35 East 18th Street
$$ All major cards
Chicama is a town in Peru, and its name is also an Indian word meaning ''sea level.'' The sea and Peru both loom large on the menu, which specializes in ceviches and tiraditos -- thin slices of raw fish tossed in citrus and seasonings -- made at a ceviche bar in the middle of the front dining room. Chicama moves easily all over the map. A Puerto Rican clam pastel with ham salpicon rubs shoulders with an Ecuadorean soup of yuca, tuna, cilantro and raw red onions. The ceviches include an Ecuadorean dish of shrimp, roasted tomatoes and chilies, but somehow a Thai ceviche of squid and tuna with lemon grass has sneaked into the lineup. On the entree list, a Peruvian hen stew with walnut and chile sauce competes with an adobo-rubbed Argentine rib-eye steak. When the chef, Douglas Rodriguez, is in doubt, he simply invents. Hence the chupe de Chicama, a seafood chowder flavored with turmeric and saffron, and the grilled octopus with black olive sauce and quinoa.
5. Churrascaria Plataforma
[Rating: 2 stars]
(212) 245-0505
316 West 49th Street
$$ All major cards
If you're not hungry, don't bother with Churrascaria Plataforma, a Brazilian all-you-can-eat restaurant. Meat, and plenty of it, is the point, but before the main event comes the salad bar, an extraordinary preliminary with dozens of enticing selections, including hot dishes like beans with sausage, rice with meat sauce, and risotto. Pace yourself, because when you are ready for the next course, waiters will appear to entice you with ham, sausage, lamb, chicken, beef and more beef. Sooner or later, you will cry mercy, and then it will be time for dessert.
[Rating: 2 stars]
(212) 223-2566
808 Lexington Avenue, at 62nd Street
$$ All major cards
With the kind of food your mother might cook if you were raised in Sao Paulo or Bahia, Circus is usually packed with Brazilians eager for a taste of home. That taste includes empanadas, pretty ovals of pastry stuffed with chicken and mustard, and many other hearty dishes, like camarao na moranga, a heap of tiny, tender rock shrimp sauteed with fresh corn, hearts of palm, shallots, peas and coconut milk, mixed with cheese and baked in an acorn squash; and picadinho, beef sauteed with wine and thyme, topped with a poached egg and accompanied by rice, beans and cooked bananas. The food is not the only lively thing here: Brazilians eat late, and as the night gets older, Circus takes on the air of a party.

Junk Bond Sales Set Record as Investors Waver: Credit Markets
Companies sold $33.7 billion of junk bonds in April, a record for the month, with borrowers rushing to issue before investors pull back from the riskiest securities.
Moody's Investors Service says issuance may rise 10 percent this year, while investment-grade sales drop 7 percent. OnCure Holdings Inc., a manager of radiation oncology treatment centers, and American Petroleum Tankers LLC, an affiliate of Blackstone Group LP, are among companies planning to sell high-yield bonds.
While issuance soars and cash streams into the market, yields on speculative-grade debt rose last week relative to government bonds for the first time since the period ended Feb. 26, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data. The rise underscores concern that Europe's growing fiscal crisis and an investigation into Goldman Sachs Group Inc. may slow the economy.
"Companies are trying to come in before the market dries up," said Kingman Penniman, president of KDP Investment Advisors, a high-yield research firm in Montpelier, Vermont. "It's an issuers' market."
The extra yield investors demand to own company debt instead of Treasuries rose 6 basis points last week to 149 basis points, or 1.49 percentage points, unchanged from the end of March and down from 176 basis points at the end of last year, Bank of America Merrill Lynch data show. Based on the 8,540 bonds worldwide in the index, yields fell to 3.925 percent from 3.949 percent on April 23.
Greek Rescue
Junk spreads widened 17 basis points to 561 basis points, after ending March at 584 basis points. Yields rose to 8.29 percent.
Euro ministers agreed to a 110 billion-euro ($146 billion) rescue package for Greece to prevent a default and stop the crisis spreading. The first payment will be made before Greece's next bond redemption on May 19, Luxembourg's Jean-Claude Juncker said after chairing a meeting in Brussels yesterday.
The European Central Bank said today it will accept all Greek government debt as collateral when lending to banks, indefinitely suspending minimum credit-rating thresholds to support the bailout. Greek bonds rose, with the two-year note at the lowest level in a week.
Standard & Poor's lowered Greece's credit rating last week to below investment grade and cut Spain and Portugal. Bonds of Goldman Sachs fell 2.04 percent on average last month, the biggest decline among any of the top 50 issuers in Bank of America Merrill Lynch's U.S. Corporate Master Index, which returned 1.76 percent.
Debt Sales
The "one-two punch of ratings agency downgrades of Greece and Portugal in the midst of yet more Congressional hearings on financial reform proved to be more than most investors could bear," Morgan Stanley analysts led by Rizwan Hussain in New York wrote in an April 30 report.
The pace of global corporate bond and loan sales slowed last week. Issuance of asset-backed securities fell for the month, Bloomberg data show.
Companies worldwide sold $27.1 billion of debt in the five-day period ended April 30, down from $44.9 billion, the data show. Sales for the month totaled $171.9 billion, a 33.6 percent drop from the prior April. Sales total $942.1 billion year-to-date, compared with $1.27 trillion at this point in 2009.
In the loan market, speculative-grade borrowers raised $1.6 billion last week, a 60 percent decrease from the prior week. Last month, $25.5 billion of the debt was issued, more than three times the amount in April 2009, Bloomberg data shows. During the same period in 2007, banks arranged a record $68 billion of loans as they competed to finance buyouts.
Demand vs Supply
"We see demand continuing to outstrip supply in the next six months," said Alberto Gallo, a New York-based credit strategist at Goldman Sachs.
The S&P/LSTA US Leveraged Loan 100 Index gained 1.47 percent in April and this year's 5.77 percent total return extended a record 52 percent rally in 2009.
About $5.3 billion in bonds backed by consumer and business loans were sold in April, down from $14.3 billion a year earlier, and bringing the total for 2010 to $36 billion, Bloomberg data show.
Returns on commercial-mortgage bonds rated BBB with maturities of three to five years accelerated, with the securities gaining 12.7 percent in April, the most since October, based on Bank of America Merrill Lynch data. For the year, bonds backed by skyscrapers, hotels and shopping malls, have returned 30 percent, following a 69 percent rally in 2009.
Fannie Mae Spreads
Spreads on agency mortgage securities with government-backed guarantees widened after the Federal Reserve stopped buying. The difference between yields on Washington-based Fannie Mae's current-coupon 30-year fixed-rate bonds and 10-year Treasuries increased 5.3 basis points during April to 73.7 basis points, according to Bloomberg data.
Spreads widened from 59 basis points on March 29, the lowest since at least 1984, after the U.S. central bank bought $1.25 trillion of securities in the $5.4 trillion market for mortgage bonds guaranteed by government-supported Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac or federal agency Ginnie Mae.
Emerging-market bond spreads widened 18 basis points last week to 258 basis points, according to the JPMorgan Emerging Market Bond Index. The gap, which grew to 323 basis points on Feb. 8, was 249 basis points on March 31.
Brazil's credit rating, raised to investment grade two years ago, is poised to increase as the economy grows at the fastest pace since 2007, trading in credit-default swaps shows.
Swaps on Portugal
The cost to protect Brazil bonds, ranked BBB- by S&P, from default for five years fell 7 basis points last month to 123 basis points, according to CMA DataVision. In Europe, swaps on Portugal almost doubled last month to 290 points, even though its debt is rated A-, three levels higher than Brazil.
Credit-default swaps on the Markit CDX North America Investment Grade Index declined 2.6 basis point to 89.5 basis points as of 2:12 p.m. in New York, according to Markit Group Ltd. The index typically falls as investor confidence improves and rises as it deteriorates.
Credit swaps pay the buyer face value if a borrower fails to meet its obligations, less the value of the defaulted debt. A basis point equals $1,000 annually on a contract protecting $10 million of debt.
Claims 'Unfounded'
Greece's agreement, following 10 days of talks and protests, came after a surge in borrowing costs left the government straining to finance its debt while investors speculated that Portugal and Spain could suffer similar fates.
Federal prosecutors are investigating transactions by New York-based Goldman Sachs. The Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil lawsuit on April 16 alleging fraud tied to collateralized debt obligations. Goldman Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein told a Senate panel April 27 that market-makers have no obligation to tell clients about their own position in a security. Wall Street's most profitable bank called the SEC's claims "unfounded."
Even as spreads on junk bonds widened last week, about $220 million poured into high-yield mutual funds last week, the 10th straight week of inflows, according to data compiled from Deutsche Bank reports. The inflows brought the year's total to $4 billion, according to Deutsche Bank. The securities are rated below Baa3 by Moody's and less than BBB- by S&P.
"When you look at other asset classes, it's reasonable to conclude that this is the best place to get income," said Ann Benjamin, chief investment officer of leveraged asset management at Chicago-based Neuberger Berman LLC, where she helps oversee $7 billion of high-yield bonds and $5 billion in loans.
Junk Bond Issuance
Since March 8, some $69.8 billion of junk bonds have been sold, the largest eight-week total on record, JPMorgan Chase & Co. strategists said.
This year, companies have issued $104.5 billion of junk bonds. A record $185.9 billion was sold in all of 2009.
OnCure is marketing $210 million of notes, with proceeds from the seven-year senior unsecured offering used to refinance existing borrowings and for general corporate purposes, according to a person familiar with the transaction who declined to be identified because terms weren't set.
American Petroleum plans to sell $275 million of five-year notes, according to Moody's. Proceeds will be used to repay debt and help pay for new tankers, said Moody's, which graded the notes B1. S&P ranked the notes an equivalent B+.

ATLANTA (AP) - Atlanta's largest hospital is investigating an
unusual increase in cases of Legionnaire's disease.
Grady Memorial Hospital diagnosed four cases of the illness in
since January 1.
Officials are investigating the possibility that the disease spread through the hospital's water or air.
A hospital spokeswoman says preliminary test results should come back Monday.
Legionnaires' disease is a bacterial infection that can cause
potentially deadly pneumonia.
The bacteria do not spread from person to person. Instead, people get it from breathing in contaminated mist or vapor.
Tainted air conditioning systems or the contaminated whirlpool spas are some of the ways the bacteria can get in the air.
Officials say about 80 beds on the hospital's 11th and 12th
floors have been taken out of service pending tests of the hospital
water system.

QUESTION: How old is the oldest yarn in your stash?
Was wondering because the yarn I used for my dog sweaters was natura DuPont Acrylic @ $.79 per 3 oz. skein. Don't know where or when I got it. Also, don't know if it is still manufactured. It was made in USA and distributed by National Yarn Crafts. Are they still in business...maybe under another name? It really softened up after laundering.
Oh, I love this topic!
Last month I made a pair of booties with super fingering yarn, made in France by Renee for Sears.
They baby who got the orginal sweater from the yarn is now 34.
I know I have leftovers from the first fisherman sweater I made my DH in 1967. :roflhard:
I got a lot of acryliv yarn from one of my dads friends who cleaned out this old ladies attitic and she gave them all this yarn..
I checked the date on most of them..... 1979!! :shock:
:lol: It's about time SOME of our oldest yarn gets used. Natural fibers would probably be moth-eaten by now. Thank God for acrylics.
Acrylics--the Twinkies of the fiber world! :rofling:
omg...lol....and i feel the same way about acrylic as i do about twinkies...how perfect!
i would say my oldest stuff is a year old when i started knitting.
speaking of hostess products...i hear the ho hos in the break room calling my name!
I have some really awful acrylic from the 60's. It belonged a friend's grandmother. When she passed away, they found a box full of yarn and needles in the attic. It eventually was passed down to me.
I haven't used any of the yarn yet, but I use the needles all the time. They're mostly aluminum, but I really like them.
I wanna say 60s - estate sale. Mostly acrylic
The yarn in my stash is only 9 years old. I bought it to crochet my son a blanket before he was born. I just saw it in a bag in the closet yesterday.
I think the cat has been sleeping on it. 6 skeins now look more like 7 (ewwww)
I had some wool that my mom had given me over 10 years ago. I know this wool had to be way older than that because I remember my mom knitting my brother a sweater with it when he was my son's age (and he's 35 now!) Unfortunately it had gotten too dry and kept breaking so I reluctantly chunked it.

Mayor Bloomberg Calls on Reporter He's Ignored for Four Years
A blogger named Rafi had previously been banned by Bloomberg.
At a press briefing today, Mayor Bloomberg decided to give the first question over to a "shocked" Rafael Martínez Alequín, the pesky blogger and former independent newspaper editor who's been covering City Hall for twenty years. Rafi, as he's known, has been so disliked by Bloomberg that he had to sue his way into getting a press pass, and even then, Bloomberg would refuse to call on him. Except for today. Nobody knows why.

Cash Incentives for Adoptions Seen as Risk to Some Children
Published: October 29, 2003
(Page 2 of 2)
But extending financial support to adoptive parents was not enough, and so there were very good reasons for the late 1990's changes in adoption practices that are causing many of the concerns today. Foster care populations in the cities were bloated, in part as a result of the crack epidemic of the 1980's. Children were spending years in care, some bouncing from placement to placement and others waiting in willing homes that could not get the paperwork completed and cleared for an adoption.
As part of the broad social policy efforts conducted by former President Bill Clinton, the government stepped in to encourage change. Congress adopted legislation in 1997 offering states up to $6,000 for every adoption out of the foster care system they could accomplish in excess of the number they completed the year before.
"Thousands of children across the nation and in New York were spending years in foster care," said William C. Bell, commissioner of New York City's Administration for Children's Services. Numerous studies showed such stays in foster care crushed self-esteem and created children who had trouble forming bonds with adults and peers.
"The impulse behind the law was to do something better for children and to demand a better result from the system," said Mr. Bell.
But whatever the motivation, state child welfare officials handling adoptions are increasingly finding themselves face to face with a thorny reality: lots of new children ready for adoption and the same old, very limited pool of foster parents willing to take them in.
Doubtless many of those foster parents are qualified and caring. But as a group they certainly have their flaws, particularly in New Jersey, which has what its own officials admit is a scandalous history of poor screening and licensing of such foster homes.
Case records of children in foster care in 2001, released as a result of a lawsuit against the state's foster care system, found that in some parts of New Jersey as many as one in five children in foster care had been abused.
More chilling, the case files also showed that, among foster homes identified as good prospective adoptive homes, 7 percent had confirmed findings of abuse or neglect in New Jersey in 2001 — 12 times the rates the federal government has set as acceptable.
Regulators in Washington, many of whom say the 1997 federal changes were largely good, are nevertheless beginning to press for ways to detect potentially troubled adoptive homes.
"There ought to be some method for a state agency to determine how these kids are doing post-adoption," said Wade F. Horn, assistant secretary for children and families at the Health and Human Services Department in Washington.
"Most kids in foster care are there because they have had something terrible happen in their background. That would suggest a lot of these kids are going to have issues, and we shouldn't be surprised that when these kids are adopted problems emerge."

I have a 15 Amp wall socket and recently bought a washing machine with a 13 Amp plug. Can I plug the washing machine into the 15 Amp wall socket using an 3 round-pin to 3 square pin adapter?
Assuming this plug (a BS 1363)
and this BS 546 socket
To convert a 1363 plug to a 546 socket, this fused adapter (13A) can be safely used:
Yes, as long as the convertor in the middle is marked to handle at least 13 Amps then you will be fine
You can also cut off the original plug "South Africa?" and install a UK style style (at least 13 Amp) plug onto it without any problems.
Round prong wiring. Rare to contain a fuse unless you specifically buy one.
Although if you are using something that is going to draw near 13Amps (2500Watts+) then change the plug to the one you need. Using converters for heaters, stoves, hair dryers or other heavy appliances is a very bad idea. Do not even consider using it temporarily.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
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.
Simon Harriott
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.

72 reviews | 4.3 out of 5
Even before I became pregnant I was adament I would use glass bottles. Independent testing of "BPA free" plastic bottles have found some of the bottles do contain BPAs. I chose these Evenflo bottles because I thought they were a good price and was happy with the bottles for the first few weeks. I started bottle feeding exclusively at about 1 month, a month later we are on the hunt for new bottles! All of the rings are warped and the bottles leak like crazy. I became more and more annoyed with the bottles, no matter how you tighten them the bottles either leak or collapse the nipple. There is just no winning with this bottle. The silcone sleeves available to fit these bottles are also useless. You cannot warm a bottle with them on so you have to put the on a bottle that is full, warm and open (the nipple and ring need to be off the bottle). After spilling two bottles trying to get the grip back on I gave up.
Have not used these ones yet, but have used the 4oz. ones. I am pretty sure they are the same in cleaning, and etc. Definitely would recommend to anyone that doesn't like plastic bottles. These are much better with the cleaning, soak them for a few hours with Palmolive Baby Dish soap and the smell is gone! Love it!
I know they are outdated merchandise, but I wanted old fashioned glass baby bottles for my new grand son. It did a lot of searching for them in EVERY STORE from Clarksburg, Salem, Bridgeport, Fairmont & Morgantown. Absolutely NOBODY had them. Then I did a search online and found them at WalMart.com.
I was MORE than happy to find them. I ordered 12 bottles and they arrived on the date WalMart said they would. I was very pleased.
Thank you for carrying the old fashioned glass bottles. WalMart has been very dependable in finding products I want.
Thank you for that.
I just bought these bottles, they are $7.50 here, i paid $5 something in the store.
my baby is just over 9 months old. i have tried 4 sets of bottles of 2 other brands (plastic ones). they were difficult to wash as plastic stinks like soap, formula, plastic etc... and no matter how many times i rinsed them i was unable to get rid of that smell. that's why i bought glass bottles. they are easy to wash. they are difficult to hold for me when refrigerated and impossible to hold for the baby because she likes throwing them from the height of her high chair when she's done eating. they also are heavy for baby to hold. i'm looking for a bottle sleeve now. overall, they are worth trying, they are very inexpensive.
A good price for a nice durable bottle. And the nipples work fine too. No reason I can see to pay 3 times as much for more "fancy" bottles. I wish instead of 3 different languages warning me that glass can break that they had put more OZ marks on the side of the bottle so that they would be easier to find.
Perfect bottle, easy to clean and sterilize. Safe from plastic toxins. Only complaint the 8oz size is a little heavy for a baby just trying to hold their bottle to support, but thats to be expected from glass.
You have to have just enough torque on the collar or it leaks every where! If you tighten it too much than it doesn't vent and you have to pull it out of her mouth to let the bottle fill up with air. We tried for 3 weeks to get the right torque. We also discovered that if it is leaking you can spin the bottle 180 degrees and get the leak to stop (most of the time). It seemed like the process would always break down when you were feeding at 2-3 in the morning. We determined 5 minutes ago (it is currently 12:40 AM) that we are going to buy new bottles and shatter all of these with a hammer.
I love these glass bottles. They are inexpensive and very durable. Best of all they are the safest bottles for my baby.
I bought these bottles when I was pregnant with my twin boys. I had many bottles stored from my oldest (who is 2), but wasn't sure about their BPA content. I ordered a dozen of the 8oz bottles and was very pleased with the quickness of the shipping. These bottles are exactly as they are described, "Classic Glass Bottles". The only problem that I had was that neither of my boys latched on to the nipples that came with them. Easy enough problem to solve, they fit any of the smaller nipples sold from other brands. My oldest has dropped them on my laminate floors and no breakage, or chipping. I also use them to store cereal, water, and sryup in my diaper bag. They are slim line and fit nicely inside my backpack.
I was looking for glass bottles to pour my milk in after scalding it. There are great. Great quality at a fantastic price! I searched Target, Amazon, and a few other stores and the prices for glass bottles were much more expensive for even just one bottle! I will be buying more of these bottles from walmart.com in the future. I love them.
bought these bottles for my daughter for her first child.glass bottles are more sanitary than the plastic bottles should carry these in the store
This is what my wife was looking for the glass bottles she couldn't fine it anywhere in store at Walmart so I went online n I found it for a great price.
i love them. because they are easy to clean and you can put them in the dishwasher to wash them.
these bottles are really good and sturdy.. seems to allow less air into my baby's stomach..
We love these bottles. As a mother to 12 kids between my husband and I with a recent addition of twin boys I have tried them all. With such a big family you can imagine we are on a budget and these bottles are affordable. I love the old fashioned look and feel of the bottles, also they don't leak as bad as many other brands. I have been using them for years and would deffinitly recomend Evenflo Glass 5 oz or 8 oz Bottles any day.
The value was great on these bottles. Not expensive at all. I bought the ones with the covers and none have broke. The only bad thing is the nipple does not get enough air. I am constantly pulling out the bottle form my baby's mouth, so it can fill up again. -Not fun for her. If you have the covers, it is a hassle to take them off and put them back on. One cover did break because I was too lazy and stuck them in the heated dishwasher. For the price they're fine. A simple bottle. I don't use them anymore for the collapsing nipple problem.
Product is very durable. I was worried about the possiblity that they'd break easily, but was very pleased to find that even after my son threw them a good 6 feet across the room and hit the door, they didn't break! Glass is always best for reducing toxins, so I recommend this product! I even bought one for a friends who is having a baby later this year.
The evenflo glass bottles are very well made. This comes in a pack of 3 (8 oz) and includes silicone nipples, sealing discs, and cap tops. You really can not beat the value.
I absolutely love these bottles. They are high quality and BPA free. I bought both sizes, 4 oz and 8 oz. I would definitely recommend this product to mothers!
Good product, but i agree with the other mothers that the nipple collapses, Works well with Dr.Brown's silicone nipple.

I'm with Bobby here on this... is he still the best golfer alive, yes. Has he been portrayed in the media as this great family man and great person? Yes. Do I now have to explain to my kids what he did? Yes... that's why I care. Should these corporations that have paid him tens of millions of dollars to be a spokesperson and sell their products care about his off-course behavior? Absolutely they should and do. On a personal level, do I care, hell no... he's an adult and can do whatever he wants, but there are consequences in the real world, and he's dealing with them now.
