5 Stock Charts Every Investor Needs to See - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- As a stock investor, how often do you look at other assets? I mean, how often do things such as gold, bonds and the dollar factor into your stock analysis? For most retail investors, the answer is "not enough."
Today, we'll change that by taking an intermarket look at five charts every investor needs to see before June.
If you're wondering how gold prices might impact the value of your stock portfolio, it's a valid question. The fact of the matter is that all markets are connected. No, I'm not talking some kind of new-age spiritualism; all markets are literally coupled together through factors like flow of funds. It's a concept called intermarket analysis or global macro strategy on Wall Street.
>>5 Stocks to Profit From a Snapback Rally
Put simply, markets are connected because all of the money that moves them is coming from the same place. When a portfolio manager decides to move more into bonds, for instance, chances are he'll have to liquidate some of his stocks to do it. That increased supply of stocks on the market and increased demand for bonds impacts the prices of both at the same time.
You can bet that intermarket analysis is something that institutional investors keep a close eye on -- so it makes sense for you to add these trades to your toolbox too. To do that, we'll turn to the technical.
If you're new to technical analysis, here's the executive summary:
Technicals are a study of the market itself. Since the market is ultimately the only mechanism that determines a stock's price, technical analysis is a valuable tool even in the roughest of trading conditions. Technical charts are used every day by proprietary trading floors, Wall Street's biggest financial firms, and individual investors to get an edge on the market. And research shows that skilled technical traders can bank gains as much as 90% of the time.
Every week, we take an in-depth look at big names that are telling important technical stories. Here's this week's look at the technicals of five must-see charts.
Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF
The first asset class we'll look at is gold, an asset that's been on fire in the last several years, as the global financial meltdown of 2008 sent investors scurrying to find some kind of safety asset. The Fed's decision to undertake Operation Twist back in September sapped a lot of the demand for the yellow metal, and since then, investors have been wondering if it still makes sense to be a goldbug. So, does it?
It sure does. Gold prices hit horizontal support this week after getting woefully oversold, but to me the best trading opportunity isn't in gold; it's in gold miners. Enter the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX), an exchange-traded fund that tracks a portfolio of gold mining stocks. Barrick Gold (ABX) and Newmont Mining (NEM) are a couple of the fund's biggest holdings.
>>6 Stocks to Play for Lower Gold Prices
GDX made a v-bottom last week, and yesterday's massive 4.5% rally in the index broke it out above short-term resistance at $44. RSI, a measure of momentum, broke its 3-month downtrend a couple of days earlier, signaling extra evidence for a bullish shift in price action.
I think now's a good time to buy the oversold bounce in GDX -- especially as Operation Twist winds down in June. If you decide to buy, keep a protective stop no lower than $40 support.
As of the most recently reported quarter, GDX was one of the top holdings at David Einhorn's Greenlight Capital and also shows up in Tiger Management's Holdings.
iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund
Speaking of Operation Twist, that brings us to the unfortunately-named iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund (TLT), an ETF that gives investors easy exposure to treasuries on the longer-end of the curve. TLT has been an extremely popular fund as treasury prices skyrocketed in the last few years -- and last week's breakout is bringing investors back out of the woodwork to buy more. But I wouldn't recommend joining in.
At first glance, TLT looks pretty strong from a technical standpoint: it broke out above $121.50 resistance last week, and it's got plenty of support levels nearby to reduce risk. But TLT has some structural challenges to it right now. Keep in mind that as TLT moves higher, treasury yields are moving lower -- and at this point, yields are already scraping the bottom.
Similarly, the Fed's Operation Twist buying has accounted for the vast majority of the dollar volume flowing into Treasuries in the last six months; when that demand slows next month, yields could start floating higher again.
>>5 Stocks Ready to Boost Dividends
Overbought RSI and a dying uptrend on the 50-day moving average are a couple of early cues for those structural factors challenging treasury prices.
PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund
Instead of TLT, think about the PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (UUP). The fund gives you exposure to the U.S. dollar, an asset that benefits when investors are piling into treasuries and when other currencies are getting shellacked (a la the eurozone), but it doesn't share the same structural challenges that treasuries have right now. In fact, it could rally more when the Fed stops inflating the greenback to buy t-bonds.
More important, UUP is edging into a technical breakout right now. UUP moved up to test resistance at $22.80 in yesterday's session, but failed to break above that price ceiling that was set back in January. Even though RSI is threatening a similar oversold swing to the one in TLT, a price breakout would outrank any red flags from it. A breakout means that buyers are in control of prices for UUP -- it's the buy signal for a high probability trade.
>>5 Stocks Setting Up to Break Out
Closest support at $22.40 gives traders limited risk in buying this ETF. It's the price that I'm recommend using for a protective stop.
iShares Cohen & Steers Realty Majors
One asset class that investors shouldn't ignore right now is real estate. After all, REITs are easy to invest in, they have very low correlations with other equity investments, and they pay out dividend income.
One stellar way to get exposure to a bunch of REITs is through the iShares Cohen & Steers Realty Majors ETF (ICF), which has big positions in names such as Simon Property Group (SPG) and Public Storage (PSA).
>>6 Housing Stocks With Curbside Appeal
Right now, ICF is looking toppy. The ETF has formed the left shoulder and head of a head and shoulders top, a pattern that indicates exhaustion among buyers -- that's an outlook that makes sense giving what we saw in bonds. If TLT does fall and interest rates rise, dividend-paying REITs are going to suddenly look a whole lot less attractive. A breakdown below the neckline in ICF provides a good opportunity to short the fund -- or at least reduce your REIT exposure for the next few months.
If you decide to go short, I'd recommend putting your stop in just above the 50-day moving average.
That all brings us back to the index everyone's wondering about: the S&P 500 (SPY). The S&P has been hard to read of late, thanks to a major pullback in the last month that's left many investors wondering whether it's time to run for the hills or start accumulating stocks again. The techincals tell part of the story, and the intermarket picture tells the rest.
Right now, the best way to get cheap exposure to the S&P 500 is through the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), a $95 billion fund that owns behemoth S&P constituents such as Apple (AAPL) and Exxon Mobil (XOM).
For starters, the S&P got woefully oversold in May, resulting in the snapback rally we're seeing this week. The fact that stocks are bouncing off of previous support in the high 1270s helps make a case that this is still just a correction, not a crash-in-progress. In the chart above, it's clear that the uptrend is only decelerating for the first time now -- from trend line 1 to trend line 2 -- that's far from being broken altogether.
On the intermarket side, a pullback in TLT would support upside in stocks: we'd want to see demand get sapped from treasuries (a flight to quality asset) as investors ramp up their risk tolerance and throw cash back into equities. And a bounce in stocks makes sense with every other asset class story we've looked at. Don't run for the hills just yet – investors are looking at a buying opportunity in SPY.

Norovirus and the : Adventure of the Seas Cruise Review by Dusty2
Overall Member Rating
Norovirus and the
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: San Juan
Embarkation: Overall, the quickest we have ever experienced. We arrived at 11:15 am and were on board in the Windjammer by 11:45. While waiting in line to get into the processing area we noticed ambulances leaving the dock adjacent to the ship. We later were informed by ship's personnel that some passengers from the previous cruise were being transported off-ship for the completion of their required quarantine / recovery period of 48 hours after being diagnosed with More norovirus.
Dining Facilities The food quality in Windjammer was OK, but didn't seem to have the variety of foods we have seen on other cruises. We had dinner in the main dining room twice. The food was good, but our head waiter was very inexperienced (starting his 3rd week) and made several mistakes on our orders and confusing orders between his assigned tables. We noticed that there were no sanitary wipes or supplies for cleaning hands at the entrance to the Windjammer or the main dining rooms. This seemed unusual and a departure from what we have seen on other Royal Caribbean cruises, especially in cold & flu season. Few ship's personnel were on station at the entry to Windjammer, and the handling of multiple plates by children and adults was common practice.
Excursions We had three excursions booked through Royal Caribbean. The first two, in Aruba and Curacao, were promptly refunded due to our quarantine status. The third, a snorkel trip to Trunk Bay on St. John, was excellent. We rented a car in St. Maarten and drove completely around the island, stopping in Margot for lunch. A truly great day of shopping and sightseeing! Car rental at the pier was very quick and easy.
Entertainment The three evening shows we were able to attend were good. The group that performed the Temptations many hits was excellent! Also, as always, the ice show is not to be missed!
Norovirus Outbreak We became early victims to the norovirus outbreak. Even with the liberal use of the Purell we always travel with, and frequent hand washing, our symptoms surfaced within 12 hours of checking onboard. Using over-the-counter medication we carried with us did not stop the situation. After spending a miserable Monday at sea in our stateroom (and missing Meet & Mingle) we went to the medical section on Tuesday when it opened. After several hours and a bag of IV fluid, we were quarantined in our stateroom until Thursday evening, missing Aruba, Curacao and our 2nd day (Thursday) at sea.
According to medical, the ship was approaching critical numbers of sick guests and crew members on Thursday. On Friday and Saturday the crew was prohibited from leaving the ship in St. Maarten and St. Thomas due to the large outbreak of norovirus. Several crew members were very vocal about the frequency of outbreaks and quarantines they are subjected to and the lax sanitary measures that are consistently being taken. Several crew members repeatedly called the Adventure "the sick ship".
Medical Staff After completing the lengthy forms, we were quickly attended to by the medical staff nurses and doctor on duty. They were excellent and checked on us repeatedly throughout the remainder of our quarantined period. We have heard horror stories of the cost of medical treatment on ship, but were pleased to find out that all treatment for intestinal viruses is provided free. From discussions with other passengers, this fact apparently wasn't well known. A Puerto Rican physician we met during the last day of the cruise told us that due to the common belief of expensive medical treatment, many of the Puerto Rican passengers stricken during the cruise did not go to medical. He stated that he was personally treating several members of his extended family.
Disembarking: Used the Delta airlines baggage handling service for $20 each. Wow!! What a smooth, quick process. Well done Royal Caribbean and Delta!
Summary: The cruise would probably have been great if the proper sanitary precautions had been implemented from the onset. You can't beat the itinerary, and the amount of activities provided on the Voyager class ships is fantastic. The issues we had read about concerning the behavior of the large Puerto Rican population didn't materialize. Yes, some folks cut the line, but it wasn't limited to any one ethnic group. But with the recurring health issues, I'm not interested on boarding the Adventure again. Less

Oct 19, 2012 - By Mead Gruver, The Associated PressCHEYENNE -- A lawsuit is postponing plans by University of Wyoming Foundation and Colorado State University Research Foundation to sell a ranch they jointly own in southeast Wyoming.
The foundations announced the postponement Friday, saying the lawsuit could affect the marketability of the Y Cross Ranch. Unsealing of bids on the ranch had been scheduled for Nov. 13 and now will wait until the lawsuit's resolution.
Denver philanthropist Amy Davis sued last month. The Y Cross had belonged to Davis's family before she donated it to the foundations in 1997.
Davis wants a court to rescind the gift agreement and establish a trust to ensure that the ranch is used for agriculture education.
Foundation officials say the ranch wasn't a practical place for learning and say the sale would fund agriculture scholarships.

LAFAYETTE, La. – The seventh-seeded ULM tennis team gave second-seeded Georgia State all it wanted, but the Panthers eventually prevailed in a 4-3 thriller on Friday in the quarterfinals of the 2013 Sun Belt Championships at Bourgeois Hall.
Georgia State won the doubles point and pushed out to a 3-1 advantage, but wins by freshman Petra Horakova at the No. 6 singles position and freshman Justyna Krol at the No. 4 singles position tied the match at 3-all. The deciding match came at the No. 3 position, where Georgia State's Whitney Byrd outlasted sophomore Silvia Tumova, 6-4, 3-6, 6-1.
"I have to give credit to our girls, they fought really hard today," ULM head coach Terrence De Jongh said. "Georgia State is a team that has been nationally ranked all year and their little bit of extra experience helped them down the stretch. We had our chances in both singles and doubles play, but we just couldn't get over that hump."
The loss ends another stellar season for the Warhawks (15-4) under De Jongh, in his seventh season as head coach. ULM was ranked as high as No. 75 in the nation early in March and finished undefeated at home for the second time in three seasons.
The Warhawks dropped just their second doubles point of the season as the Panthers won at the No.1 and No. 3 position to take a 1-0 lead into singles play.
Junior Medy Blankvoort shook off a slow start to post a dominating 6-3, 6-0 victory over Grgan at the No. 2 singles position to tie the match. Blankvoort finished the season with a 16-2 record and is 32-3 over the past two seasons.
Georgia State's Abigail Tere-Apisah knocked off sophomore Sophie Rufyikiri, 6-3, 6-2, at the No. 1 position and Maryna Kozachenko handed freshman Iris Van Leeuwen her first singles loss of the season, 6-0, 6-2, at the No. 5 position to re-gain the lead at 3-1.
Horakova kept the Warhawks alive with a 6-3, 7-5 victory over Jocelyn Ffriend at the No. 6 positon and Krol battled back for a 1-6, 6-2, 6-4 triumph over Linn Timmermann at the No. 4 position to once again tie the match.
On court three, Tumova trailed 4-6, 0-3, but won six straight games to force a deciding third set. Byrd quickly took control in the third, winning the first three games and cruising to the 6-1 win.
"We had another phenomenal season, finishing undefeated at home for the second time in three seasons and going 7-0 against teams in our region," De Jongh said. "I feel that with our top players coming back next season, we have a good chance to be one of the top teams in the Sun Belt."
The Panthers (7-10) will face the winner of No. 3 Troy and No. 6 Middle Tennessee in the tournament semifinals on Saturday at 10 a.m.

Saunders, Duquesne storm to A-10 victory
WASHINGTON — Maybe it should snow like this every time Duquesne plays a basketball game.
Damian Saunders produced another monster performance Saturday, scoring a career-high 27 points and adding 16 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocked shots to lead the Dukes over George Washington, 70-63, at Smith Center.
"Numbers really aren't my thing," said Saunders, who notched his Atlantic 10-leading 17th double-double. "As long as I play hard and do the best I can for my team. If I get a double-double, of course I'll be happy. But it doesn't really matter. What matters is winning the game."
Because of the severe weather conditions that dumped upwards of 2 feet of snow in some areas, Duquesne (12-11, 3-6) was forced to take a fleet of four-wheel drive vehicles to the game because the team bus became stuck on a side street."It was an adventure, but we got here," Duquesne coach Ron Everhart said. The Dukes remained in the District of Columbia last night because of treacherous road conditions that were causing numerous accidents, including several along Interstates 70 and 76 leading to Pittsburgh. The team attempted to depart for home but the bus became stuck in snow a short distance from the hotel.
The ordeal seemed to be worth the trouble.
"I'd like for it to snow as much as it is out there every day if Saunders plays with that kind of energy and effort," Everhart said. "He was phenomenal. He got rebounds today that were ungettable. Our whole team played probably as well as we have all year."
George Washington coach Karl Hobbs expressed similar feelings, saying Saunders' rebounding performance stood out most.
"He's a terrific player," Hobbs said. "We didn't care how many points he scored. We just didn't want him to get offensive rebounds. He got nine. He single-handedly kept them in the game."
The victory was just the second in 10 road games for Duquesne, which also won at Iowa on Nov. 17. The Dukes had not beaten George Washington (12-10, 2-7) at Smith Center since 2000, a span of seven games.
Duquesne is part of a logjam in the A-10 standings involving five other teams, including GW, in a battle for an A-10 Tournament playoff spot. The Dukes are tied for eighth place, with the top 12 teams in the 14-team league qualifying.
"For us, as a basketball team, it means a lot to finally get another road win," Everhart said. "We've played some very good basketball this year to come away with losses in certain situations ... Our kids are out there fighting."
Duquesne scored the game's final six points after George Washington closed within 64-63 on a layup by Damian Hollis, the Colonials' leading scorer, who was held to seven points in just 18 minutes.
Melquan Bolding added 14 points, nine rebounds and four assists for Duquesne.
George Washington was led by freshman Lasan Kromah's 15 points and 10 rebounds. Dwayne Smith added 14 points and 10 rebounds.
Duquesne led at halftime, 33-28. The second half was close throughout. Eric Evans' layup gave Duquesne a 66-63 lead, and Bolding's free throw increased the Dukes' advantage to 67-63 with 41 seconds to go.
Saunders rebounded a missed jumper by Kromah and was fouled, making both free throws with 28 seconds left to secure the victory.
The Dukes next play back-to-back home games against Massachusetts on Thursday and against La Salle on Feb. 14.

Beetle-virus relationship in soybean
Bean leaf beetles and bean pod mottle virus have gained much attention in recent years. However, neither of these pests is new in the Midwest. Bean leaf beetles were first reported as a pest in 1875, in Kansas. Then, in 1980, about 16,000 acres of soybean was treated for bean leaf beetles in Illinois. The magnitude of the bean leaf beetle problem in 1980 gained the respect of growers and researchers in the Midwest.
Similarly, bean pod mottle virus has been around a long time. This virus was first identified in the United States in 1948, in North Carolina. The first report of bean pod mottle virus in Iowa was in 1968, from soybean in Ottumwa. Both the beetle and the virus have been in the Midwest on native, perennial legumes. However, the abundance of bean leaf beetles has apparently never been high enough, until recent years, to create the situation that soybean growers currently face--economic damage to soybean from bean leaf beetles and bean pod mottle virus. From what we currently know, this problem is due to six factors: mild winters, early-planted soybean, virus-transmitting beetles, seed transmission of the virus, perennial legume hosts, and susceptible soybean cultivars.
Both mild winters and early planting have increased the abundance of bean leaf beetles in Iowa. Iowa's recent mild winters (2000-2001 and 2001-2002) have allowed more beetles to survive and infest soybean in the spring. Typically, bean leaf beetles move to alfalfa (which is not a known host of bean pod mottle virus) in late April to early May to feed, but the beetles typically do not reproduce in alfalfa. Early-planted soybean is a preferred host and beetles eventually move into this crop where they can develop large populations.
The virus can come from several different sources. Research by Rayda Krell, at Iowa State University, indicated that approximately 1.5 percent of overwintered beetles can transmit bean pod mottle virus to V1-V2-stage soybean and that some (<0.1 percent) bean pod mottle virus-infected soybean results from virus-infected seed. Rayda's research also showed that in addition to soybean, showy tick trefoil, which is a native host for bean leaf beetles, can carry the virus. Furthermore, Rayda and Brent Werner, an undergraduate student at Iowa State University, identified a new beetle host for bean pod mottle virus--the soybean leafminer. The soybean leafminer is an early- and mid-season pest of soybean; however, the bean leaf beetle is still the most abundant and problematic pest.
So what does this all mean? This bean pod mottle virus-pest problem has many complex interactions that all play a part in perpetuating the disease cycle. Early-season management of the insect and the virus may be important to prevent crop damage. There are no known commercial soybean varieties with resistance to bean leaf beetles or bean pod mottle virus. Therefore, the only available options for growers planting commercial soybean may be carefully timed soybean planting and pesticide applications for bean leaf beetle management. Research on the management of this pest complex is ongoing.

I have found researching municipal boundary lines in New York state to be difficult at best. So when I found Thorne's book in the New York State Library, I bought a copy.
I too have found some discrepancies between the 18th century Albany County real estate tax records and Thorne's book. However, as inaccurate as Thonre may be at times, I feel that her book is still much more accurate than the over simplified "sound bites" that pass as history. I feel that a prime example of this type of over simplification is the statement that either states or implies that 18th century Charlotte County was identical to present day Washington County.
Thank you for pointing out the inaccuracies that you have found in Thorne's book. I shall make note of them. However, since my research is focused on the period of time between 1764 and 1777, I do not feel that your findings will impact either my work or answering questions about people, who had served in Charlotte County militia.

Toronto R&B-pop star and dancer Shawn Desman has a brand new album, his fourth studio effort called Alive, out Tuesday, and his first Canadian headlining tour starting Thursday.
But, in an unusual move, there's also an accompanying mini-movie of the same, Alive, premiering Tuesday night on MuchMusic, featuring six of the album's ten songs.
"With social media and everything that people have the ability to get their hands on ... you can't just put out a record," said Desman, 31, at a downtown Toronto hotel recently.
"You have to do something interesting to get people engaged. Get people talking. So it's about giving them extra content."
The scripted mini-movie, Alive, is about a dancer from the small town of Fergus, Ont., who comes to Toronto to audition for Desman playing himself. It also stars Heartland's Kaitlyn Leeb, Degrassi's Melinda Shankar and Lost Girl's K.C. Collins.

A Guide To The Erlang Source
A guide to the erlang source.
The source can be downloaded from: https://github.com/erlang/otp
Most of the interesting code is in: erts/emulator/beam
The atoms used in erlang are listed in erts/emulator/beam/atom.names and are referenced in the code as am_foo. So the 'EXIT' atom is am_EXIT in the code.
Basic types
See sys.h for the basic datatypes:
- Data types:
- Eterm: A tagged erlang term (possibly 64 bits)
- BeamInstr: A beam code instruction unit, possibly larger than Eterm, not smaller.
- UInt: An unsigned integer exactly as large as an Eterm.
- SInt: A signed integer exactly as large as an eterm and therefor large
- enough to hold the return value of the signed_val() macro.
- UWord: An unsigned integer at least as large as a void * and also as large
- or larger than an Eterm
- SWord: A signed integer at least as large as a void * and also as large
- or larger than an Eterm
- Uint32: An unsigned integer of 32 bits exactly
- Sint32: A signed integer of 32 bits exactly
- Uint16: An unsigned integer of 16 bits exactly
- Sint16: A signed integer of 16 bits exactly.
See erts/emulator/beam/big.c for the conversion between types. For example uint_to_big(Uint x, Eterm *y). term_to_Uint(Eterm term, Uint *up). An Eterm can contain any erlang term like atoms, integers, etc.
The bifs are summed up in the bif.tab file. For example: bif 'erl.lang':exit/1 ebif_exit_1 bif erlang:exit/2
This means the exit bif is mapped to the exit_1 method in the bif.c file. The bif.c file holds the bif implementations like:
BIF_RETTYPE spawn_3(BIF_ALIST_3) {...
BIF_ALIST_3 means you have BIF_P, BIF_ARG1 to 3 and The arguments BIF_ARG1 are Eterms, so you have to check them with is_number(BIF_ARG_1), is_atom, is_tuple, etc
As defined in bif.h:
- define BIF_RETTYPE Eterm
- define BIF_P A__p
- define BIF_ALIST_0 Process* A__p
- define BIF_ALIST_1 Process* A__p, Eterm A_1
- define BIF_ALIST_2 Process* A__p, Eterm A_1, Eterm A_2
- define BIF_ALIST_3 Process* A__p, Eterm A_1, Eterm A_2, Eterm A_3
- define BIF_ARG_1 A_1
- define BIF_ARG_2 A_2
- define BIF_ARG_3 A_3
More types
structs ErlSpawnOpts Process ErtsProcLocks ErtsMonitor
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_multiprocessing You will see this a lot in the code: #ifdef ERTS_SMP Things get more complicated, with regards to locking etc. if SMP is enabled.
The process struct is defined in erts/emulator/beam/process.h. The important function is Process *schedule(Process *p, int calls) in process.c . The next process is picked in "pick_next_process" of that method.
Process statuses are:
- define P_FREE 0
- define P_RUNABLE 1
- define P_WAITING 2
- define P_RUNNING 3
- define P_EXITING 4
- define P_GARBING 5
- define P_SUSPENDED 6
Monitors and links
See erl_monitor.c and .h. The main structs are ErtsLinks and ErtsMonitor. Each process has a *ErtLinks and *ErtsMonitor (herein all its links/monitors are kept as an AVL tree). Actions are done with erts_sweep_links(ErtsLink *root, ...) and erts_sweep_monitors(ErtsMonitor *root, ...).

Low iron drastically increases risk of death for patients with heart failure, according to a study recently published in the European Heart Journal.
Low iron level, referred to as iron deficiency, is the most common nutritional deficiency in the United States. Not only can low iron cause symptoms like feeling tired and weak, it can also lead to complications for patients with existing heart conditions. Since iron deficiency is especially common among heart failure patients, researchers wondered how iron levels affect outcomes for patients.
Conducted in two Polish cardiology centers, this study included 165 patients treated for acute heart failure. Unlike chronic heart failure, which is a long-term condition, acute heart failure happens suddenly and requires hospitalization. During each patient's hospital stay, researchers ran blood tests to measure iron levels and then monitored the subject's health for a year.
After analysis, investigators found that patients with an iron deficiency had a significantly greater risk of death than those with normal iron levels. In fact, among the 33 deaths that occurred during the year-long follow-up, there were virtually no deaths among patients with healthy iron levels.

Henkjan Honing is awarded the Distinguished Lorentz Fellowship 2013/14
Henkjan Honing, Professor of Music Cognition from the University of Amsterdam, wins the fifth Distinguished Lorentz Fellowship. Honing will explore what insights cognitive science and biology can provide on the origins of music and musicality. This will also be the topic of his interdisciplinary workshop at the Lorentz Center with the title Does Music Matter? Cognition, Biology, and the Origins of Music/ality.
Origins of Musicality
Many studies on the evolution of music concern the question of what defines music. Can birdsong, the song structure of humpback whales, a Thai elephant orchestra, or the interlocking duets of Gibbons be considered music? In trying to answer this question, it is important to separate the notions of 'music' and 'musicality'. Musicality can be defined as a natural, spontaneously developing trait based on and constrained by our cognitive system, and music as a social and cultural construct based on that very musicality. However, it is still a challenge to demarcate precisely what makes up this cognitive trait we call musicality. What are the cognitive mechanisms that are essential to perceive, make and appreciate music? Only when we have identified these fundamental mechanisms are we in a position to see how these might have evolved. In other words: the study of the evolution of music cognition is conditional on a characterization of the basic mechanisms that make up musicality.
Residential Fellowship and Workshop
Henkjan Honing will spend a year on his research project as a member of the international and interdisciplinary community of scholars at NIAS. An important part of the fellowship is the international workshop at the Lorentz Center. This workshop will bring together cognition researchers from the fields of biology, musicology, neurology and psychology. He will also receive a personal prize of €10,000.
Press release (Dutch)
More information about Honing's research can be found in the press release below (Dutch).

Irish Wolfhound
Drs. Foster & Smith Educational Staff
Originating in Ireland, the Irish Wolfhound was used as a war dog, hunting hound and guard. The Irish Wolfhound is the tallest of all dogs with some reaching the size of a small pony. Strong, yet graceful, these gentle giants are remarkable in combining power and swiftness.
Interesting Breed Facts:
81st in 2008; with 863 registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC).
First recognized as a breed:
The Irish Wolfhound was first recognized by the AKC in 1925. The Irish Wolfhound Club was founded in 1885.
AKC Grouping:
This tall breed has a long head with long, moderately pointed muzzle and especially wiry, long hair over eyes and under jaw. The eyes are dark and ears are small. Body is very muscular and strong with very deep chest. Legs are strong and quite straight with muscular forearms. Tail is long and slightly curved. This breed has a rough, medium length coat, which can be gray, brindle, red, black, pure white, fawn, or any other color that appears in the Deerhound.
Medical conditions to watch for:
Like other large, deep-chested breeds, the Irish Wolfhound is more at risk for the development of bloat. Bloat is a medical emergency in which the stomach fills with gas and may actually twist upon itself. The most common heart disorder found in the Irish Wolfhound is dilated cardiomyopathy. Atrial fibrillation, another heart condition, is also common, but often symptoms are not apparent.
Irish Wolfhounds want to be part of the family and would be very unhappy in a kennel. They love to run and chase, so they need plenty of room outdoors to do so.
Best features:
Sweet natured, friendly, and loyal, the Irish Wolfhound is excellent with children. They're also relatively easy to train and get along well with other dogs.
Biggest challenge to owners:
Due to their large size, Irish Wolfhounds need homes that have plenty of room indoors and out. Being hounds, they will chase and therefore, need a secure, fenced yard for exercise.

I picked Dr. Chin because he was rated the best plastic surgeon for several years in a row in the city where I live. Another reason is on all of the other Dr.'s websites I viewed (while looking for a plastic surgeon) I was not at all pleased with their before and after photos, but with Dr. Chin, all of his before and after photos are amazing!! Yes he might be a little pricier than most, but I am going to sacrifice a little to hopefully get an outcome I am very happy with.

Troy NoKA - Heaven
By richard | 4 years ago
Artist: TROY NoKA
Track: Heaven
Producer: Troy NoKA
Album: Love.Fear.Pianos.
Are you a fan of immersive electronic beats and long-ass intros? If so, simply hit "play" on Troy NōKA's latest effort and you'll be in Heaven. His first feature since February's reader-acclaimed Dollars Make $tatus Change, this cut emphasizes the more experimental side of the Austin rapper/producer's style. After some abstract, glitchy opening bars, the record develops into a dense, glossy synth arrangement garnished with spoken-word passages and hypnotic sung vocals. Though the artist does start flowing around the 2:20 mark, the emphasis is clearly on atmosphere over lyricism. Intrigued? Then watch our pages for more fresh tunes leading up to the as yet-unscheduled arrival of NōKA's next album, Love.Fear.Pianos.

Shipping Pallets: Are pallets the most important object in the global economy?
Slate takes a look at the role pallets play in getting product from Point A to Point B
in the NewsBehind the Korber AG and DMLogic Acquisition J.B. Hunt announces plans to acquire Special Logistics Dedicated LLC, expand e-commerce offerings Kardex Remstar purchases Alternative Handling Technologies Services Group Flexport to open up new warehouse in Southern California Global prime logistics rents continue to rise, says CBRE More News
It's not every day that materials handling and transport packaging, let along pallets, are covered in the mainstream media. It's less common that an outsider steps into our world with that sense of curiosity of how things work that is the mark of good reporters. It's even less common that they understand it.
That's all prelude to an article about the role of the pallet in the global supply chain by Tom Vanderbilt that was posted on Slate.com today.
In the interest of full disclosure, I'm a little obsessed with pallets since I grew up in the industry. There's probably a twelve step program for guys like me. What's more, Vanderbilt called me to learn about the industry and quotes me in the piece. So, complimenting an article in which I am quoted is a little like my mother telling you I wrote a great piece on conveyors. However, Vanderbilt did his own reporting and called Mark White, a professor emeritus at Virginia Tech. To quote the lyrics of one of my favorite country songs, Mark has forgotten more about pallets than I'll ever know.
The point he made, and one I think our industry should keep making over and over again, is that materials handling products and processes - whether its the mundane like corrugated cartons and pallets or the sexy like shuttle systems and AGVs - are playing a vital but unreported role in delivering the products that make all of our lives a little more enjoyable.
About the AuthorBob Trebilcock Bob Trebilcock, editorial director, has covered materials handling, technology, logistics and supply chain topics for nearly 30 years.

With the third installment of the Twilight Saga hitting the box office (and a stampede of adolescent girls following on its heels), there is much to talk about.
a. There is the theme of runaway emotions clouding the rational brain, as "Eclipse" demonstrates how love can not only make us blind, but stupid as well.
b. There is the popular culture phenomenon known as Team Edward versus Team Jacob that has reached fever pitch.
c. There is Edward's continued superhuman modeling of a psychological strength known as self-regulation.
Consequently, I'm thinking at least two blog entries. Stay turned for the latter points in Part II and, for now, back to the motif of runaway emotions...
Emotions, particularly the basic ones like anger, fear, desire and hate, flow from our reptilian brain. Meaning, when an emotion hits us and we start to feel the physiological aftershocks - a racing heart, shallow, rapid breathing and wildly churning sweat glands - our more advanced cranial regions are being overridden by the ancestor part of brain that helped us to do things like instinctively run from the pouncing tiger way back when.
Love can be problematic because it comes as a complicated emotional package that includes multiple, concurrent, sometimes conflicting emotions. For example, you obviously feel intense desire for the love of your life, but, at the same time, you may also feel fear over potentially losing your love, anger at how vulnerable pure love makes you, perhaps even hatred at your love for attaining such seemingly significant control over your internal life...and on and on.
This emotional chain of love (be impressed by the double meaning) can blind you from the obvious and render you stupid when processing basic facts. Cognitive-interference is not a term often associated with love but, as the Twilight Sage proves, it probably should be.
In "Twilight" Bella was the victim of such cognitive-interference, as she alienated her friends and family during her hot pursuit of Edward's affections. In "New Moon" cupid's arrow of stupidity hit Edward dead-center in his frontal cortex, as he looked outright silly high-tailing it to Italy in the hopes that his absence would prove protective. Instead, Bella freaked out and Victoria (the inexplicably effective villain of the Saga) waltzed right in to Forks to predictably wreak havoc. In "Eclipse" it's Jacob's turn to share in the mental dysfunction.
Early on we can see that Jacob's love for Bella has blocked his perspective of reality (Bella has chosen Edward) and replaced it with an elaborate distortion fed by his own desperate hopes and mind-reading tendencies. He insists that Bella loves him. Now we all know that Bella does love him...as a friend, but he insists that the love is romantic and superior to that of her love for Edward. This insistence escalates in ways that are intense and, more often than not, embarrassing.
It starts innocently enough with Jacob making semi-serious conversational claims that Bella knows he is the better, more deserving choice. Jacob's mind has played twister with these ideas to such an extent that he has convinced himself to wait patiently her Bella's resistant subconscious to catch up with and accept the simple facts of the situation. In the meantime he'll do what he can to facilitate the process. When Edward drops Bella off at the treaty line (remember that werewolf v. vampire pact), Jacob greets her with a hug and a "Hey, Beautiful," like the boyfriend that he isn't, but thinks he will soon be. Bella laughs uncomfortably like that girl at a frat party who is starting to realize that the drunken guy she's been flirting with for the last hour is taking things a little too seriously.
Later, during a platonic walk on the beach, Jacob insists some more. He just knows... deep down where the things we really want to be true are, quite simply, that...that Bella loves him. So, despite the absence of any moment-to-moment social signals, or any historically supportive evidence of any kind, Jacob goes in for the kill and kisses Bella with the passion and righteousness of Romeo kissing Juliet. For Bella, she's back at the frat party, and the cute guy she'd been flirting with has turned into a messy drunk who won't stop petting her. She pulls out the equivalent of a rape whistle, a mean right hook, and breaks her hand on Jacob's face.
His insistence continues. When he learns that Bella set a date for Edward to "convert" her, he throws a temper tantrum and says some nasty things he should not have said. When he learns that Bella has agreed to marry Edward, Jacob practically convulses in pain and throws another fit of immature rage before racing wildly into battle. He's escalated from sloppy drunk guy to displaced anger, stalker guy.
And still...his insistence continues...After the epic battle with Victoria's army, as Jacob's broken body is lying in recovery he interprets Bella's guilt-stricken visit as one last chance to profess his love. As unbearable pain penetrates his body all Jacob can talk about is his willingness to break his own rules if Bella were to one day reciprocate his love.
Now, we can't fault him for trying. He stated his case to Bella with clarity and force. But love blinded and stupefied Jacob with regard to one crucial fact. The case for Bella's heart had been closed long ago. Way back in "New Moon" if not the first few moments of "Twilight," Bella had arrived at an inner truth that Edward was "the one." And from that moment forward she expressed this truth with conviction and consistency, refraining from sending even a single signal of false hope Jacob's way. Recall that even at her most vulnerable - abandoned by Edward in "New Moon" with Jacob there to enthusiastically pick up the pieces - Bella was drawing clear boundaries and Jacob was trying to sidestep them.
Looking back on this narrative arc, a story within a story emerges in which Jacob tried and failed in a Charlie Brown-like manner. During each "Jacob attempt," Bella responded with a mantra that we have now heard for three movies: "Edward is my soul mate and you're my best friend. So just calm it down Casanova..." And while her response reflected the actions of an individual who knew exactly what she wanted, Jacob's disorganized and desperate flailing resembled an individual grasping at straws.
Jacob loves Bella. In fact, based on what his eyes tell us during the scene in which he explains werewolf imprinting to Bella, he feels feelings for her that are more intense then mere human love. But in situations where love goes unrequited, cupid's arrow can shoot poison with the power to transform a strong and capable best friend into a cartoon caricature of naïveté and ineptitude. Love may know no bounds in its tendency to elate but the same holds true for its ability to blind and stupefy. Sadly, in the end, while Bella and Edward chastely kiss in a field of flowers, the emotionally inflamed Jacob lays in bed twisting and turning with the agony not of broken bones, but of a broken heart.

Ph.D. Program
Gender Studies examines the social processes, cultural representations, relations of power, and forms of knowledge that generate a range of gendered perspectives and experience worldwide. Our focus on gender as an analytic category facilitates an array of scholarly collaborations, generating cutting-edge research across fields as diverse as the social sciences, the arts and humanities, the natural sciences, and policy studies. Categories of difference that articulate with gender - such as race, ethnicity, class, and religion - are vertical grids of attention throughout the doctoral degree program. The Department emphasizes integrative and transdisciplinary modes of analysis for the study of sexualities and sexual identities; bodies and their technologization and medicalization; representation and social/cultural production; and feminist epistemologies.
Three unique core courses form the heart of the program:
G600 Concepts of Gender
G603 Feminist Theories
G702 Researching Gender Issues
Degree Requirements
The requirements for this doctoral degree are 90 credit hours beyond the bachelors degree configured as at least 48 credit hours of graded course work and an additional 42 dissertation credit or coursework credit hours (typically as 899 or 901).
Each doctoral candidate will complete three required core courses involving theory, methodology, research skills, and professional development: G600 Concepts of Gender, G603 Feminist Theories, G702 Researching Gender Issues. Candidates will also complete a 12-credit-hour minor, which should be taken externally (e.g. in another department) or in an approved program listed in the Graduate Bulletin. Elective courses complete the required hours of gender-related course work.
Only those students intending to pursue the Ph.D. will be admitted to the program. However, a Master's degree may be obtained upon satisfactory completion of its requirements, which are: at least 30 credits of course work successfully earned, including 12 credits of outside GNDR courses and 9 credits of core GNDR courses and either a comprehensive MA exam or a substantive research paper (MA thesis) of roughly 50 pages.
Qualifying examinations (both written and oral) are to be taken within 9 months of the completion of course work. Upon successful completion of the qualifying examination and presentation of a satisfactory dissertation proposal, the student will be nominated to candidacy for the Ph.D. The Dissertation Committee, which must be approved by the Dean of the Graduate School, will be responsible for directing and evaluating the thesis. Students complete up to 30 credit hours of dissertation research and write and defend their dissertation. The dissertation defense serves as the final oral examination and will cover topics related to the dissertation and area of specialization.
Foreign Language Requirement
Gender Studies does not require proficiency in a foreign language unless a candidate is engaged in the sort of gender scholarship for which language proficiency would be necessary. The DGS will determine the means by which proficiency is demonstrated.
Research Skills
Beyond the required core course G702 Researching Gender Issues, there is no specific research-related skill requirement. However, a student's advisor may require additional competency in (a) research skill(s) appropriate to that student's dissertation topic. Such requirements may include competency in a second language, statistical methods, questionnaire development, ethnographic methods, interviewing techniques, textual or media analysis, computing/internet/webmaster operations, specific laboratory skills, other research and technical skills, or appropriate combinations of any of these. These studies are to be undertaken early in the candidate's graduate career. The assessment and completion of any required research competencies normally must be certified by the DGS prior to admission to candidacy.
Transfer Credits
Consistent with the general policy stated in the Bulletin of the University Graduate School, the Department of Gender Studies will accept up to 30 transfer credits into the graduate program, subject to the approval of the DGS. Grades received for transfer courses must be B or better. Coursework taken at another institution toward an MA can transfer to IUB for PhD credit, but if a student elects to leave the IUB program with a MA, credits earned at another university cannot be applied.
Additional Requirements after Admission with Master's Degree
Candidates admitted with a master's degree from another institution may be required to take additional preparatory work, depending on their background and training. The program will be decided in consultation with the student's faculty advisor and the DGS.
Upon successful completion of the qualifying examination and presentation of a satisfactory dissertation proposal, the student will be nominated to candidacy for the Ph.D. The Dissertation Committee, which must be approved by the Dean of the Graduate School, will be responsible for directing and evaluating the thesis. The dissertation is defended orally. Doctoral candidates are also required to offer a public lecture on the nature of their dissertation at some point prior to the defense with the committee.
Final Examination
The dissertation defense serves as the final oral examination and will cover topics related to the dissertation and area(s) of specialization. We remind you that the University Graduate bulletin represents the legal contract between graduate students and Indiana University and can be found at http://bulletins.iu.edu/iu/gradschool/2014-2015/index.shtml

Battlestar Galactica Producer Imagines Sci Fi Show for Fox
Ron Moore is his name, science fiction is his game.
Moore, a former Star Trek writer and one of the folks behind Sci Fi's version of Battlestar Galactica, is at it again: He's cooked up a new sci fi pilot called Virtuality that looks like it could land on the Fox schedule next Spring.
What's the story?
The series follows a dozen astronauts who are sent on a mission to find a distant solar system. To keep the astronauts from getting bored during the 10-year voyage, their shuttle is equipped with virtual reality modules that let the astronauts assume different identities and travel to far-off lands. But then a bug is discovered in the system — and one of the astronauts could be responsible.
"Too sci fi" for NBC?
That's the buzz from industry insiders, who say NBC didn't think the show fit its brand. Fox bought it almost immediately, though.
Fox sure is into the sci-fi stuff these days.
The network is also developing Joss Whedon's Dollhouse, JJ Abrams' Fringe, and a comedy called Boldly Going Nowhere about life on a spaceship.

Non-Old Firm 'stay united'
Dunfermline Athletic chairman John Yorkston has insisted that the 10 non-Old Firm clubs remain united in their determination to bring Celtic and Rangers to heel.
And he has predicted that the Glasgow giants will eventually come crawling back to Scotland's other top-flight clubs.
Yorkston was speaking on the eve of a meeting of the 10 where they are expected to officially submit their resignation letters to the Scottish Premier League.
There had been suggestions in the Sunday newspapers that the Old Firm were wooing some of the 10 in the hope of breaking their united front.
But Yorkston said that all 10 would submit their resignation letters at the same time as proof of their solidarity.
The 10 will give the required two years' notice to the SPL in protest at the Old Firm's decision to scupper plans for the league's own subscription-based television channel.
They intend to set up their own league, with voting structures that would prevent Celtic and Rangers holding a joint veto should they eventually decide to join.
Yorkston said: "I think they will have to come back into the fold. There is nowhere else for them to go."
The Old Firm's overtures to the English Premiership have so far been rejected.
And the welcoming tones from the Nationwide League may not be enough to overcome the hurdles of moving from one country to another under the rules of football's various governing bodies.
"They have not been willing to compromise up until now on anything," said Yorkston of the Old Firm.
He said that, when the matter was discussed 18 months ago, the Glasgow clubs had wanted their share of money from Sky television to go up from 37% to 80%.
"We didn't agree to that and, by the time they eventually settled on 40%, the deal was no longer on the table," he said.
"The bottom line is that they underestimated the strength of feelings of the others.
"I do not think they have done their homework on the TV station. It could have made a lot of money.
"Bear in mind that we have a KPMG report which gives you various scenarios and, even the worst scenario, would make more money than is on the table at the moment.
"These boys have all looked at it. Every club has got people of this calibre who have all looked at it and said 'yes, it works, it goes ahead'.
"Why would the banks offer £30m and another £60m to securitise the sales? They were prepared to put these offers to four-year deals.
"They are not going to do that unless they have done their homework."
Celtic plc chairman Brian Quinn warned on Sunday that the Old Firm would not back down.
He suggested that, by going it alone, the other 10 clubs would end up with smaller squads of lower quality and end up with a "minor and peripheral league".

Washington (UPI) Oct 17, 2008
The Cook Inlet beluga whale population near Anchorage, Alaska, was placed on the U.S. endangered list, federal marine officials said Friday.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said current protections have not been successful in recovering the beluga whale population.
NOAA's Fisheries Service said listing the Cook Inlet beluga whales means any federal agency that funds, authorizes or carries out new projects or activities that may affect the whales in the area must first consult
with the agency to determine the potential effects on the whales.
Scientific surveys show the Cook Inlet beluga population declined nearly 50 percent between 1994 and 1998. Estimates have varied from a high of 653 belugas in 1994 to a low of 278 belugas in 2005. NOAA estimates there were 375 belugas in both 2007 and 2008.
The agency said the final rule on this decision will likely be published in the Federal Register on Oct. 22.

Klipsch SW-350 Powered Subwoofer Reviewed
HTR Product Rating
- Performance
- 4.5 Stars
- Value
- 4.5 Stars
- Overall
- 4.5 Stars
Disagree with our product rating? Email us and tell us why you think this product should receive a higher rating.
Measuring 15.5 inches high by 12.5 inches wide by 17 inches deep and weighing in at 27 pounds, the SW-350 is compact and solid. The SW-350 employs nice claw-style feet which help with moving the unit around, and is finished in a smooth black vinyl. The quality of construction and parts is of good quality.
Additional Resources
The SW-350 sounded good with movies and games. It was tight, relatively deep, and full of power. As with the SW-450, the SW-350 sounded bigger than its size. On music material, the SW-350 offered enough speed to nicely complement a lot of different material without getting in the way. While it could have used some more refinement overall, the SW-350 had a musical quality with smaller main speakers that created some pretty good presentations overall. The SW-350 matches very well with micro-type satellite systems, keeping things tight and controlled but also kicking some butt when required. The SW-350 sounded better with rock and electronic tracks than with acoustic, classical and jazz ones. The SW-350's lack of a high-pass crossover and inclusion of a low-pass crossover bypass could be a factor in systems lacking bass adjustment control, while the latter could help bass performance in some systems by eliminating a needless crossover. It should also be noted that the SW-350 provides a phase control. Of course, it all depends on the user demands, system, material, etc.
