Fragile X syndrome is a genetic disorder that often results in mental retardation. Male children are generally more seriously affected than female children. Early intervention that includes a team of health and academic professionals can help your child reach his full potential.
Fragile X syndrome is a genetic condition that is caused by the mutation of a gene (the FMR1 gene) on the X chromosome. It affects male children twice as often as it does female children, and males are generally more seriously affected.
Fragile X syndrome is the most common cause of inherited intellectual disability and the most common known genetic cause of autism. Kids with Fragile X syndrome will likely experience developmental delays, behaviour problems, as well as intellectual disabilities. Some children with Fragile X syndrome may develop seizures, digestive disorders, or ear and vision problems.
Fragile X syndrome is genetic. If you have a family history of Fragile X syndrome, you may want to consult with a genetic counsellor before becoming pregnant.
There are some physical signs of Fragile X syndrome that may lead to early diagnosis, but some children are not diagnosed until they have entered school. In addition to developmental delays and behavior problems, kids with Fragile X syndrome may have the following symptoms:
Treating Fragile X syndrome involves managing the symptoms of the disorder. Working with a team of professionals that include speech/language therapists, physical and occupational therapists, special educators, psychologists and pediatricians can ensure that your child reaches his full potential.
Your doctor can help you diagnose, treat and manage your child's Fragile X syndrome.

Re: Surgery day is almost here!
Lainy- My daughter, Kristen told Lauren she might have to have a tube in her nose if she is real nauseous. I don't think she likes that idea much either, but it won't be as bad as the big breathing tube. Kristen also said they could have to leave the breathing tube in after surgery for a short time if she is in ICU and they think it will help, but she will be so sedated she won't know. I know Kristen and Bruce won't let anything by them. They will be watching her like hawks!!
Thanks for the support, Julia, Jennifer, and Pam!!
Lauren is not nervous, just excited!!
We just found out a few minutes ago that her surgery starts at 7:30 am and we have to be at the hospital at 5:30am. She will probably have to get up at 3:30 because they want her to shower tomorrow morning with antibacterial soap. I made her drink a bottle of Citroma yesterday and she was not happy about that!! Well, gotta go get ready for the big trip!!
Love to all,
-Pam and Lauren
My comments, suggestions, and opinions are based on my experience as a caretaker for my daughter, Lauren and from reading anything I can get my hands on about Cholangiocarcinoma. Please consult a physician for professional guidance.


text: Magistrate pay, appropriations bills pass as special session ends By Phil Kabler April 18, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A special legislative session aimed at enacting bills lost in the final hours of the 2013 regular session concluded Thursday, about 18 hours after it began, with the House's passage of bills for magistrate pay raises (SB1003), and supplemental appropriations (SB1005).As of Wednesday night, the bills had been at an impasse, as House Republicans blocked a motion to vote on the pay raise bill, and House Democrats subsequently blocked a vote on the appropriations measure -- which contains $1.86 million for the attorney general's office.On Thursday, the House got the necessary two-thirds majority of votes to take up both bills, and were able to end the special session shortly after noon."We had a bill dumped in our laps at 4:30 [p.m.] from the governor that none of us had seen," House Minority Leader Tim Armstead, R-Kanawha, said of delaying the passage vote on the magistrate pay raise bill.By Thursday morning, he said, "We absolutely felt that everyone was able to look at all the bills overnight and make an informed decision."The magistrate pay bill, a compromise on an issue that had been divisive throughout the regular session, will provide pay raises to 12 magistrates and staffs in six counties this year, and will eliminate a lower $51,125 pay tier for magistrates in another 17 small-population counties in January 2017. It also mandates a nonpartisan study of ways to equalize caseloads for magistrates.The bill passed the House on a partisan 55-39 vote, with 38 of the House's 46 Republicans voting no, with four Republicans absent. House Republicans argued that magistrates should not be singled out for pay raises in a year when the state is forced to make budget cuts. The pay raise bill died at the end of the regular session Saturday night, along with a bill House leadership was holding as leverage, to authorize a sales tax increment financing district for a multi-million dollar development outside of Morgantown."The TIF bill was one of the few pro-jobs bills we advanced this session, and to hold it hostage for a pay raise bill was unconscionable," Armstead said.In special session, the Morgantown TIF bill (SB1001) won swift approval in both houses Wednesday evening, with a 34-0 vote in the Senate, and by a 91-2 margin in the House. Senate President Jeff Kessler, D-Marshall, said Thursday he was confident throughout the process that the TIF bill would pass the Legislature."There was never any negative feedback I received about the bill," he said. "It was just a matter that it got hooked into the other issue, and that became a distraction."Proponents of the 1,400-acre development, which will include a new exit off Interstate 79, a 100,000-square-foot primary care complex for West Virginia University Hospitals, retail space, restaurants, lodging, class A office space, and a $16.2 million ballpark for WVU, say it will provide about 1,100 construction jobs and at least 1,500 permanent positions.Also passed during the special session Thursday:• Legislation making the state Tax Division responsible for administering sales tax collections in TIF districts and in cities that have municipal sales taxes through the home-rule pilot project (HB105). However, Sen. Brooks McCabe, D-Kanawha, said he is wary of a provision that allows the state to charge a management fee of up to 5 percent of revenue collected, saying that's 10 times higher than typical charges."In my opinion, 5 percent is far too high, and too much of a burden on municipalities," said McCabe, who said a 5 percent fee would cost Charleston $250,000 a year.• The $17.7 million supplemental appropriation bill (SB1005) that House Democrats had held up Wednesday. Besides providing $1.86 million for technology upgrades for the attorney general's office, the bill transfers $10 million to the governor's civil contingency fund for future disaster response, and $3 million to Health and Human Resources. Part of that appropriation will go to provide court-ordered pay increases for employees at the state's two psychiatric hospitals.Even after spending an additional day in special session, House Majority Leader Brent Boggs, D-Braxton, called the 2013 legislative session successful, and noted that the extended session actually wrapped up earlier than usual."In other years, we've usually had to stay in extended session for six or seven days to get the budget done," he said.The House and Senate approved the $11.41 billion state spending plan (HB2014) Wednesday evening, four days after the end of the 60-day regular session.Reach Phil Kabler at email@example.com or 304-348-1220.

MBS Productions, which specializes in world premieres, often with a gay (and always racy) twist, has revealed its upcoming slate, which includes another favorite come back.
The season starts on Oct. 13 with Octavia, a Roman tragedy about Emperor Nero and his wife that, apparently, was banned by the Roman leader 2,000 years ago and is getting its debut now.
Once again, the Christmas show will be The Beulaville Baptist Book Club Presents a Bur-Less-Q Nutcracker, pictured, about a team of exotic dancers who put on a less-than-traditional holiday pageant.
The Game of Love and Chance, a sex farce about mistaken identities, runs just in time for Valentine's Day.
Bretton B. Holmes' Fortune, in which an estranged father and son are forced to spend a week together in order to inherit a family fortune, opens March 22.
The season closes with two plays by resident playwright Alejandro de la Costa: 2 Couples 2, where two married couples decide to vacation together, each unaware that their spouses are having same-sex affairs with each other; and The Importance of Being Lovely about a drag queen scorned.
Tickets are available at MBSProductions.net.

As someone -- perhaps Homer Simpson -- once observed, change is hard.
We humans are raised to embrace, if not defend, the status quo. Although that's generally a good thing as it relates to forming societies and avoiding life's assorted scams and cons, it also tends to impede our collective progress toward freedom, human rights, feeding the poor and providing health care for all.
The more things change ...
We're immersed in one of those counter-intuitive struggles right now over Obamacare. And because we're dyed-in-the-wool embrace-and-defenders, we're nitpicking every website error message and health insurance cancellation notice as if each held some divine message to turn back now before it's too late. All this, despite the fact that we've been here before, with Medicare for the elderly and Medicaid for low-income families in 1965, and with Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage in 2006.
Our aversion to change is certainly not confined to health care reform, however. In the past century alone we've overcome the status quo to grant voting rights to women in the 1920s, feed needy families with the launch of welfare in the 1930s, codify equal rights for racial minorities in the 1960s and recognize same-sex marriages in 2013.
None of these changes came without years of struggle and sacrifice, yet once ratified, each became an inseparable part of the status quo that we now defend. Obamacare likely will join their ranks as the kerfuffle of the moment over online portals fades and millions of folks who previously couldn't afford health insurance suddenly have it.
From Nixon to Romney to Obama?
A recent Huffington Post piece by former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich helped me put all the hyperventilating over Obamacare into perspective. Reich points out that in February 1974, Republican President Richard Nixon proposed, in essence, today's Affordable Care Act. It went nowhere then because Democrats had their sights set on a single-payer "socialized medicine" approach that would be funded through a payroll tax, just like Social Security and Medicare.
"Thirty years later, a Republican governor, Mitt Romney, made Nixon's plan the law in Massachusetts," Reich writes. "When today's Republicans rage against the individual mandate in the Affordable Care Act, it's useful to recall this was their idea as well."
See the crazy turns history often takes? Who says the universe doesn't have a sense of humor. Or irony.
The value to society of shifting the cost burden of millions of uninsured Americans off of taxpayers and onto health insurance companies -- a shift, it should be noted, that health insurers welcome with open arms -- far outweighs a couple of months of website troubles.
And without the vision of President Barack Obama -- and ironically, that of Republican President Richard Nixon as well -- this small step toward a potentially better life for millions of our fellow Americans would not have happened at all.

Introduction. There are two circumstances in which the usual grading scheme (A, A-, B+, etc.) may be replaced by Pass/Fail (P/F). The first is the Pass/Fail Option for Students which may be elected by a student. The rules governing the Pass/Fail Option are under I. The second is Pass/Fail Only Courses which allows a department to offer a course only pass/fail when appropriately approved. Section II below governs Pass/Fail Only courses. Some majors may have degree requirements which preclude this option.
After attaining sophomore standing, a degree student may elect courses on a pass/fail basis until the final day of registration in accordance with the following rules:
A maximum of two courses (not more than eight semester hours in total) may be included as part of the minimum graduation requirement of 120 semester hours. No more than one Pass/Fail Option course may be taken in any one semester.
Courses taken using the Pass/Fail Option must be free electives. No required courses may be taken using the Pass/Fail Option. Required courses are those used to satisfy requirements for majors (including required cognate courses), minors, or general education.
The instructor is not informed that the course is being taken on a Pass/Fail Option basis. Grades are translated later into grades of "P" or "F" with the grade of "P" recorded for a grade of "D" (1.0) or higher and the grade of "F" recorded for "E."
A grade of "P" and "F" does not enter the computation of a quality point average.
If, subsequent to the completion of a course on a Pass/Fail Option basis, the student should change his/her major to one in which the instructor's original grade is required, he/she may request that the chairperson of the academic department be notified of the actual letter grade earned.
A student who has received a grade of "E" in a course may not take it later on a Pass/Fail Option basis.
The student may revoke a decision to take a course on a Pass/Fail Option basis. The revocation must be completed by the close of the business day three weeks after the middle day of the semester. This will allow the pass/fail option to be used again.
A department may apply to have one (or more) of its courses to be offered on a Pass/Fail Only basis. (Approval must be given by the college curriculum committee, college dean, university curriculum committee and provost. See the Omnibus Course and Program Development Cover Sheet.)
A course that is offered on a Pass/Fail Only basis is exempt from all the restrictions except I.4 listed under Pass/Fail Option for Students. In particular, such a course may be used to meet general education requirements or requirements of a major when appropriately approved. Furthermore, a course which is offered on a Pass/Fail Only basis shall not be included in the two course maximum of the Pass/Fail Option for Students.
A grade of "P" and "F" does not enter the computation of a quality point average.

SAN JOSE — Three of the four Sharks competing in the Winter Olympics have been getting significant ice time, but the only saves that goalie Antti Niemi has made so far have come in Team Finland's practices.
Niemi tried Friday to hide any personal disappointment over his situation after Finland's 2-1 loss to Sweden, saying, "It seems that this is my role, so I'm trying to do what I can to help the team."
Sharks coach Todd McLellan said he isn't concerned that Niemi could come back bummed out by the experience.
"That's not how Nemo's wired," McLellan said. "I think he's honored to represent his country. Whether or not he gets into this last game, I don't know, but I can tell you he'll leave there very proud that he was on that team, and he will have relished every moment he had there."
There is a remote chance Niemi could play in Saturday's bronze-medal game against Team USA. Starter Tuukka Rask of the Boston Bruins was ill Friday and could not play; backup Kari Lehtonen of the Dallas Stars would be playing on consecutive nights after giving up a soft goal in the 2-1 loss to Sweden.
Even if Niemi doesn't play, McLellan noted, other high-end goalies such as Phoenix Coyote Mike Smith on Team Canada and Detroit Red Wing Jimmy Howard on Team USA are in the same boat. And the Sharks coach sees Niemi benefiting from the trip to Russia, travel and all.
"I know Nemo's worked on his game," McLellan said. "I know he's been able to see pucks and stay fresh and enjoy the opportunity while some of the other elite goalies were back here not seeing pucks, not staying fresh and not staying up on their games. Maybe he's ahead of them."
But Sharks defenseman Dan Boyle knows what it's like be on an Olympic roster without getting to play, as he was on the taxi squad for Team Canada in 2006 before competing four years later in Vancouver. And he was hoping Niemi would get to play Saturday.
"It was very tough," Boyle said of his own experience in Torino, Italy. "I would certainly not want to do that again. You have to put your personal feelings aside for your country, but it's still tough to watch."
As for the other Sharks in Sochi, Patrick Marleau (four assists, 15:10 average ice time) and Marc-Edouard Vlasic (no points, 15:51 ice time) will be in the lineup when Canada faces Sweden for the gold medal on Sunday. Joe Pavelski (one goal, four assists, 15:45 ice time) will be in Team USA's lineup Saturday against Finland.
"For the most part, I thought we were fairly respectful — we have a teammate on the other side," said Boyle, who grew up in Ottawa and was referring to Pavelski.
Minnesota native Justin Braun acknowledged it wasn't too bad but attributed that to the fact the game was close and not a blowout.
There was a divide on the coaching staff as well with another Minnesota native, Jim Johnson, showing the colors with an American flag.
Mercury News columnist Mark Purdy contributed to this report. For more on the Sharks, see David Pollak's Working the Corners blog at blogs.mercurynews.com/sharks. Follow him on Twitter at twitter.com/PollakOnSharks.

Dubai. Porsche Middle East and Africa has exceeded all expectations in the 2006/07 business year, which ended on July 31st, as it registered yet another period of record growth.
With a 20 per cent increase in total sales of 5,330 cars over the previous year's 4,419 units, these latest figures highlight Porsche's continuing business success. What's more, Porsche Middle East and Africa can celebrate its fifth consecutive year of double-digit growth, and a remarkable eighth year of record sales.
The new Porsche Cayenne maintained the charge of its forebear after several successful regional launch events. With a total of 3,467 units sold last year, compared to the previous financial year's 3,006 vehicles, this resulted in an increase of 15 per cent.
Among the sport cars, it was encouraging to see that the Boxster, Cayman and 911 models all showed a growing demand. The Boxster and Cayman models totalled to 663 units, representing an 8.6 per cent increased, while with 1,195 unit sales from the 911 range, Porsche Middle East and Africa has demonstrated unprecedented growth of 60 per cent.
The Cayman S performed magnificently: from the previous year's total of 339 units sold, this figure increased to 416 in FY 2006/07 – a rise of nearly 23 per cent. However, the greatest success came with the latest 911 Turbo model, of which 397 units were sold in the last financial year; more than the total amount of the last four years put together (386 units).
Deesch Papke, Managing Director of Porsche Middle East and Africa, is delighted at the success Porsche is enjoying in the region: "Once again, I am delighted by the performance of the Porsche Middle East and Africa region in setting yet another sales record. For eight years in a row we have surpassed expectations, and much of this is down to the ongoing support and dedication of our regional partners. We have enjoyed amazing results in the Middle East region since its establishment, and the future looks equally bright, particularly with several new products set for release in the coming years."
On a global scale, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, has registered yet another notable year, with revenues and sales once again reaching new records. According to recently released figures, Porsche once again announced a new sales record, up 0.7 per cent over the previous year's figure, to 97,515 cars. Group revenues increased by an even greater margin of 3.4 per cent to a new all-time high of Euro 7.37 billion.
Meanwhile, Porsche is preparing for a new year of sales and releases, and the most recent product news is that the Boxster RS 60 Spyder was unveiled this month at the Bologna Motor Show. In its colour, design, features and philosophy, this new roadster brings back memories of Porsche's golden motorsport era of the 'Sixties, and most notably echoes the Porsche Type 718 RS 60 Spyder of 1960, which would take on and beat competitors in larger engine categories. This special edition new Boxster will be limited to just 1,960 units, and will be available in the Middle East from March 2008.
Porsche is confident that sales in the coming year will at least match the exceptionally high level it enjoyed in FY 2006/07. With ongoing penetration into new markets, and an even more attractive model range that includes such exciting models as the 911 Turbo Cabriolet, the Cayenne GTS, the 911 GT2 and the Cayman S "Porsche Design Edition 1", expectations are high. Porsche cars are in increasing demand in rapidly growing markets like the Middle East, and the Stuttgart carmaker expects its next major boost in growth to come in 2009, when the four-door Panamera 'Gran Turismo' is launched.

Personal grooming while breastfeeding: What are the effects of hair coloring and perms, tanning beds and nipple piercing?
According to the BREASTFEEDING ANSWER BOOK, published by La Leche League International, no evidence exists that the nursing mother's use of hair-care products, such as hair dyes and permanents, has any effect on her breastfeeding baby. When a mother uses hair-care products, some of the chemicals will be absorbed through her skin. If her scalp is healthy and intact, less will be absorbed than if the skin on her scalp is scratched or abraded.
The BREASTFEEDING ANSWER BOOK, 3rd revised edition, states on page 449, "No evidence exists that the nursing mother's use of tanning beds has any effect on her breastfed baby."
It is important to limit exposure so that burning is avoided. Some mothers have reported getting burnt nipples and breasts when using tanning beds. This is extremely painful so be sure to cover your nipples and breasts and use caution. If any vitamins or medications are suggested to enhance the tanning, be sure to check with your health care provider before taking them
There is no evidence that nipple piercing has any effect on breastfeeding. For more information, consult the following article:
Nipple Piercing: Is It Compatible with Breastfeeding? LEAVEN, June-July 1999, pp. 64-65.
More information on personal choices and breastfeeding can be found on our resource page about lifestyle choices.

Greetings from Chicago! Im Ben Lister and I design and build websites.
In 2010, I joined Sprout Social as the first design hire. Since then, I've spent my time designing, coding and prototyping new concepts as the company has grown from less than 10 employees to over 400 with over 19,000 customers across the globe.
I got my start as a teenager in the late '90s working as a freelance designer creating websites for local businesses and agencies in suburban Michigan. After college, I moved to Chicago where I worked in many roles in the designer and developer spectrum on projects ranging from implementing modern best practices and building templates for hundreds of radio stations across North America to building interfaces for clients like Ford Motor Company, City University of New York, The University of Miami, Rush University Medical Center and Hyatt.
When I need a break from the mesmerizing glow of the Retina display, I like spending my time cooking
overly ambitious food, running across state lines, mentoring designers,
speaking, drinking fancy beers,
watching the Chicago White Sox (yeah, I know) or driving really fast cars
on a race track.
I also have a Whippet named Devo who can definitely run faster and sleep longer than your dog and an amazing
accountant human embodiment of Google Maps wife named Erin.

Omg no. Rush just dislocated his knee and probablly blew it out. I feel sick right now. Just sad I hope it isn't as bad as it looked but by the look on his face it's not good. He is one of my favorites would hate 2 see a career ending type injury.

Man I'm still shook up just not fair. Rush was nearly in tears Randolph damn near looks like he saw a ghost. Wasn't a dirty play by him at all but a hard foul by a big boy can be dangerous. They said Randolph went back to check on Rush classy move.
Felton is a different animal in New York he played great today.
Cant believe people actually said the Lakers have a decent bench now even i got sucked in to thinking it was okay it's trash.
Counting down the days untill DJ Augustin's contract expires.
The Harden trade is the classic case of team who gets the best player wins the trade. Especialy true with superstars. I think this will end up being a huge deal in OKC especially if they don't win a title or make it to the finals in the next two years. I think you will see Durant or Westbrook leave and I think you'll be able to trace it back to this. That was kind of a point I tried to make in the original thread. This could have a really far reaching impact in the OKC franchise not just what happens on the court.
Lakers down 14 to the Clippers with 7 to go.
Personally, I think OKC will be just fine without Harden. Not quite as good, but any team with Durant/Westbrook has a chance at a title. That is still a very good team and by all accounts the players knew that this endgame was coming for Harden and had accepted it.
I actually think that not having Harden and keeping Perkins is going to hunt OKC for a long time, I don't think they win a championship anytime soon.
Howard can't jump for s*** by the way.
The Lakers are just bad right now. Dwight can cover up a lot of defensive mistakes, but he can't make up for people just blowing by the corpse that is the PG at the moment.
They have a PG that's not allowed to play to his strength. As much as Dwight has improved offensively, they still shouldn't force feeding him so much. Pau is much better to play through. He's by far more skilled, and he's a great passer. Their bench is horrible, and to top it all off they have a nutcase as their starting SF.
They'll flame out in the playoffs, they have a lot of major flaws.
The Paul Gasol rumors are going to start soon, Magic was talking about trading him for Josh Smith or somebody like that.
How long does mike brown last?
ill say between 15 to 20 games
Counting down the days untill DJ Augustin's contract expires.
Gasol isn't going anywhere. Mike Brown isn't going anywhere. The Lakers will bounce back and this dismal start will be forgotten soon enough.
They still have Durant signed through 2016 and Westbrook 2017, so even if they leave after that, they still have basically 4 and 5 seasons with the Thunder...
I think this Knicks team is going to be tough all year. I mean, if they don't make noise this year in the playoffs then it's never going to happen. As vnz said, Felton plays really well in New York. Plus having Jason Kidd on your team is never a bad thing, even if he's almost 40 years old. He is one of the greatest PGs ever, has been to the Finals three times, and has a championship ring that he won just two years ago. A player like that is just a great presence to have on your team.
This is probably the most important season of Melo's career. He really needs to will that team to a high playoff seed so that they avoid having to play a Miami or Boston in the first round.
I didn't get a chance to watch the Lakers game, but I'm not going to go doomsday on them yet. They will figure it out. How did Dwight Howard just get 7 shots though?
I don't think you can really judge a team until about the 10 game mark. Boston is win-less as well.
Omer Aski had 19 boards, 9 offensive. and 0 points. I don't know what that means.
@JohnDenton555: #Magic SF Hedo Turkoglu underwent surgery Saturday morning to repair a fractured fifth metacarpal in his left hand. No return date set yet.
@NBARUMORS: According to sources, Lakers have identified Mike D'Antoni as a possible replacement for current head coach Mike Brown.
Not going to lie I would love to see Mike there.
Step 2: Rudy Tomjanovich rumors
Step 3: Phil Jackson
Step 4 : Jerry Sloan
It will be a fun season.

A new study indicates a higher rate of dementia in former N.F.L. players.
The New York Times released findings from the study on September 29. The research, which was conducted by the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research, found that former professional football players are 19 times more likely than the national population to develop memory-related diseases. The study was commissioned by the National Football League (N.F.L.).
In response to the study House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers held a hearing on October 28, calling it a "life and death issue."

December milk production 'neutral'
December milk production in the 23 major states was estimated at 15.70 billion lbs., up slightly from December 2012, according to USDA's monthly Milk Production report. November revised production, at 14.95 billion lbs., was up 0.1% from November 2012, but down 32 million lbs. from last month's preliminary estimate.
December 2013 cow numbers in the 23 major states were estimated at 8.500 million head, about 6,000 more than December 2012. Production per cow averaged 1,846 lbs. for December 2013, down 1 lb. from a year earlier.
Nationally, December production was estimated at 16.81 billion lbs., down slightly from December 2012. Cow numbers were estimated at 9.21 million head, down 12,000 from a year earlier. Production per cow was estimated at 1,826 lbs., up 1 lb. from December 2012.
Among major dairy states, largest percentage increases in milk production in December 2013 compared to December 2012 were: Utah (+6.7%) Colorado (+4.4%); Kansas and Florida (each +4.1%). California output was up 1.1%, but Wisconsin production declined 1.9% compared to a year earlier.
Biggest decliners (December 2013-December 2012) were: Illinois (-7.7%), Missouri (-6.1%) and Ohio (-3.5%).
Compared to a year earlier, December 2013 cow numbers were down 15,000 in Idaho, and down 5,000 in Minnesota. Texas cow numbers were up 7,000, with Kansas up 5,000.
The preliminary December 2013 estimates provide a first comparison between annual totals for 2013 and 2012.
In the 23 major dairy states, 2013 production was estimated at 187.7 billion lbs., up 0.5% from 2012. Cow numbers for the year averaged 8.511 million head, up 11,000 from 2012. Annual output per cow averaged 22,049 lbs. in 2013, up a meager 92 lbs. from 2012.
Nationally, 2013 production was estimated at 201.2 billion lbs., up 0.4% from 2012. Cow numbers for the year averaged 9.226 million head, down 7,000 from 2012. Annual output per cow averaged 21,806 lbs. in 2013, up just 109 lbs. from 2012.
2013 dairy cow culling tops 3 million
U.S. dairy cull cow slaughter topped 3 million head for a second consecutive year in 2013, just the fourth time cull dairy cow slaughter reached that mark since USDA began differentiating dairy cows from total cows in 1986.
Based on USDA's monthly Livestock Slaughter report, an estimated 256,700 culled dairy cows were slaughtered under federal inspection in December 2013, up 7,600 from November 2013, but 2,100 less than December 2012.
With December's figures, the 2013 total was estimated at 3.125 million head, 23,400 more than 2012's total of 3.102 million.
Before 2012, dairy cow slaughter topped 3 million only twice: in 1986, at 3.595 million (whole herd buy-out program); and 1996, at 3.037 million.
Early signs indicate 2014 won't reach that number. Through the first two weeks of the year, cow culling was already 13,000 behind the first two weeks of 2013.
February FMMO Class I price a record high
The February 2014 federal order Class I base milk price is a record high $22.02/cwt., up 54¢ from January 2014 and $3.81 more than February 2013. The previous high was $21.78/cwt., in September 2011.
The February increase was powered by cheese, nonfat dry milk and dry whey. The two-week AMS-surveyed cheese price used in the price formula averaged $2.0308/lb., up 17.3¢, with nonfat dry milk averaging $2.0270/lb., up 8.5¢. Dry whey averaged 59.39¢/lb., up 2.7¢. The butter price used in calculating the Class I value averaged $1.5939/lb., down 4.7¢ from January.
National Dairy Products Sales Report weekly highlights
USDA's weekly National Dairy Products Sales Report indicated Grade AA butter prices averaged $1.62/lb. for the week ending Jan. 18, up 5.4¢ from the previous week.
U.S. 40-lb. block cheddar cheese averaged $2.07/lb., up 6.8¢ from the previous week. The price for 500-lb. cheddar barrels, adjusted to 38% moisture, averaged $2.04/lb., up 9.3¢.
USDA Extra Grade dry whey averaged 59.5¢/lb., up 0.2¢.
USDA Extra Grade nonfat dry milk averaged $2.04/lb., up 2.0¢ from the previous week.

Melvin successful in introduction to replay system
Overturned call erases double play against A's in second inning
PHOENIX -- A's manager Bob Melvin said he wanted to test the expanded replay format in his first opportunity Thursday night, and he got his chance early. And he won.
With runners on first and second and no outs in the second inning, Oakland's Coco Crisp hit a groundball to Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu, who went to second. Shortstop Cristhian Adames then threw to first in an attempt to complete the double play and first-base umpire Allen Bailey called Crisp out.
Melvin immediately popped up and challenged the call when he reached Bailey.
Replay umpire Marcus Pattillo overturned the call after a two-minute, 10-second review. It was the fourth overturned call of Spring Training.
Melvin also challenged a play at first in the eighth inning that was upheld quickly.
"I think the second one is a little bit more indicative than the first," Melvin said. "You're going to have more camera angles, but those are the ones I want to find out about.
"We had it as semi-inconclusive, and you have to find out which ones they're going to overturn. If it's very close, they'll probably stay with the call that was made."
It was the A's first replay game this season, and Melvin said the day before he was looking forward to getting accustomed to the new dynamics of the system. Melvin even suggested he might challenge a play just to do so.

WINCHESTER District Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) is urging people to "fight back against the fraudsters".
New research found that up to four million people per year are victims of fraud, with the Winchester branch seeing 20 problems a year.
Offences rose by 25 per cent in England and Wales last year, with over a third of scams over the phone (34 per cent) and almost a quarter through web sites (24 per cent).
Scams Awareness Month was launched on May 1, and Jenny Meadows, CEO of Winchester CAB, said they can come in all shapes and sizes.
"Throughout May we will be helping people in the district to spot and report scams. We are advising people to speak to family and friends to make sure they are aware of some of the warning signs.
"Remember, if something appears too good to be true, it probably is."

All Hindu temples remain closed during Surya Grahan and will reopen only after the Grahan after conducting special pujas and rituals. On the day, Hindus also take holy dip in River Ganga and Brahma Sarovar in Kurukshetra.
Usually, religious Hindus do not perform any work during Surya Grahan and they purify themselves by taking a bath and chants the Ashtakshara Mantra dedicated to Shri Krishna. Ashtakshara mantra is 'Shri Krishna ha sharnam mama.'
Most astrologers are of the view that this Surya Grahan will only bring bad.
There is also a Total Solar Eclipse on July 22, 2009.
Caution: During Surya Grahan, there are also some elements in society who take undue advantage of innocent Hindus in the name of astrology. Ancient Hindu saints only talk about the physical harm Surya Grahanam can create on human beings. Put the thinking cap and keep out unwanted elements who try to take undue advantage during such occasions. The only aim of such people is money.You may also like to read

Pujols used to dealing with plantar fasciitis
Angels first baseman says it's nothing that will keep him out of lineup
TEMPE, Ariz. -- For most of his career, seemingly dating to 2003, Albert Pujols has played through plantar fasciitis on his left foot.
"It comes and goes," Pujols said.
And recently, as Pujols moves into the final stages of his recovery from offseason surgery on his right knee, the Angels' first baseman has dealt with a flare-up. But Pujols has played through it, like always. The 33-year-old debuted at first base on Tuesday, was in the lineup as the designated hitter on Wednesday and may return to first base on Thursday.
"It's nothing that's going to keep me out of the lineup," Pujols said, "because I've played with it the whole season before."
Plantar fasciitis manifests when the ligament that supports the arch of the foot is strained, causing pain to simply walk or stand. It never really goes away, though WebMD says 95 of 100 people who have the issue don't require the surgical procedure to cut the ligament.
Pujols, who has never gone on the disabled list with plantar fasciitis, says he's been more aggressive in treating it this spring and is now wearing orthotics, which are also good for his recovering knee.
Asked how his left foot feels while playing, Pujols said: "Sore, but nothing really dramatic where I would say, 'Man, I can't play, this is too bad.' Right now, I'm just concentrating on getting my knee strong. I can handle the plantar fasciitis."

If you own a classic Impala and you're driving down the avenue or on the highway, you might notice that the steering is a little sloppy or loose. There are usually a few things that can cause this to happen, most of it stemming from normal wear and tear. This normal wear can be seen on the rag joints and bearings in the steering column. How do you get back to steering straight? Well, there are a few things you can do; you can change out your complete steering system with a newer-style setup, or you can do like us and start off with reworking your steering box, column, and union joints that connect to the gearbox.
If you own an older Impala, you should consider upgrading the gearbox, as we did in this tech. This '60 Impala had several problems with the old first-generation 605 gearbox. Once the seals are worn, they tend to leak fluid and give you too much unwanted play, so we decided to upgrade the complete system using CPP's brand new '58-64 Impala gearbox. These gearboxes are brand new and are designed for the Impala. With all new internal gears, these boxes will give your car the amenities of a newer car without having to use a junkyard remanufactured gearbox.
If you don't have power steering, or if you own a vehicle with an older-style setup, this tech will be perfect for you. Now, follow along as Bryan from Bryan's Custom Restorations of Fullerton, Ca steers us in the right and easy direction.
1. The first generation gearbox was more than ready to be upgraded.
2. The universal joints were loosened to remove the steering shaft.
3. This gearbox was completely disconnected and ready to be removed.
4. Bryan used an impact gun to remove the final bolts that held the gearbox onto the frame.
5. From the side-by-side comparisons, you can tell that the new gearbox was a little bigger.
6. Depending on the radiator your vehicle has, you might have to modify it due to the length of the new housing.
7. The frame was checked and we noticed that the stock holes needed to be drilled out so that the new, bigger bolts could be used.
8. The 3/8 holes were drilled out with a 7/16 drill bit.
9. The old gearbox required you to grind down the side of the frame, so that it could be bolted on.
10.You can see the angle on the new gearbox. This was left this way in case you wanted to use a rag joint. With the angle, the pitch of the gearbox won't rip the rag joint.
11. Since we didn't want to strip the bolts, the box was bolted on by hand.
12. The stock pitman arm will bolt right up.
13. To make sure that our steering column was safe, we changed the universal joints to these UniSteer steering couplers.
14. The Double D shaft was measured and cut to size.
15. The edges were taken down on the grinder.
16. The steering shaft and UniSteer couplers were installed.
17. The steering couplers were tightened, keeping everything lined up.
18. This CPP gearbox was ready to steer us straight.

Randomly: I'm diggin' life. Quite literally. Working as a soil scientist in Alaska is immensely rewarding. I've been able to travel, hike, and fly over much of the state and get paid to dig holes. My family and I love to work in the garden together, getting dirt under our fingernails and growing good food. In the winter, we ski. Getting my education in Alaska was the greatest move I could have made for finding a rewarding career in my hometown.
