I write about social media, startups and technology trends.
It's official – Apple's new iPhone 5 is available for pre-order this Friday, 14 September 2012. Pricing will start at $199 for the 16GB model, $299 for 32GB, and $399 for a 64GB iPhone 5 – as long as a you sign a new, two-year contract. If you purchase an iPhone 5 off contract, a 16GB model will cost you $649, the 32GB model $749, and $849 for the 64GB iPhone 5 (according to AT&T's website.)
Of course, Apple made several changes – er, "improvements" – with the iPhone 5. Many of these changes will impact the accessories available for current iPhone owners, because iPhone 4 and 4S add-ons won't work with iPhone 5. The new "Lightning" dock connector is smaller than the current version found on iPhones, which means that all iPhone owners will need to either buy an adapter for existing accessories – which could range in cost from $19 to $39 – or replace their current car chargers ($10+), home stereo docks ($100+), and AV adapters ($30+) – all of which could quickly add up in cost.
The iPhone 5 is also longer yet thinner – which many critics of Apple say is notably better, as it is designed to fit better in the palm of your hand. Of course, just looking at someone holding an iPhone is enough to make you squirm – a "naked" iPhone can easily shatter if dropped (and let's face it – any phone can be easily dropped, and often). While the iPhone is beautiful, it needs a case to protect your investment. With the iPhone 5′s new dimensions, you're going to need a new case, too. And since the battery life of the iPhone 5 actually isn't that much better than its predecessors (you're still going to get about an average about 8 hours of it every day) you'll like need a battery pack if you don't have the ability to constantly charge your new iPhone. This cost alone can add anywhere between $50 to $90 to purchasing an iPhone 5.
For those who use their iPhones while exercising, those new iPhone 5 dimensions will require new accessories like a waterproof case for kayaking or an armband for use when running. These costs can add up too – a waterproof case currently costs around $60, while armbands currently range between $10 and $50.
For those eligible for an upgrade or able to sign a new 2 year contract for even the 16GB iPhone 5, the additional costs of replacing all your accessories that worked with the iPhone 4 or 4S – but won't work with the iPhone 5 – can easily add an extra $100 – $200 to your purchase of an iPhone 5.
Let's break that down in terms of total cost with the cheapest version of each accessory:
iPhone 5: $199 (base 16GB unit with contract)
Case: $50
Car Charger: $10
Stereo Dock: $100
Armband: $10
Minimum Total Cost: $369
Of course, this is just the minimum cost – adding these necessary accessories to an off-contract iPhone 5 could end up costing you over $1,000. And as many of these accessories aren't even available yet – though essential for some people (like a battery case is for me), I may just wait the hype out until I can actually replace all the accessories I use daily, so I can get the same experience from an iPhone 5 that I currently get from my iPhone 4.
it's not worth such a high price!!
wow! $369! with contract! just imagine how expensive it all turns out when you import to a country like Kenya! the cost will be dramatic!
The Iphone 5 is an upgrade in every aspect in my book. If you aren't aware of the extra charges you may have to spend for an Apple product, you must not own any in the first place. This is going to be a top of the line 4g phone. The Samsung Galaxy 3 costs more at a minimum than the I5 will. I feel like this article was written just to take up space. Not the quality that I usually get on Forbes.
C'mon MAN
** Real cost of an iPhone 5 basic setup **
$199 Phone
$35 Activation
$70 TAX (tax is on full retail price of phone/accessory before discount of 2yr contract)
$30 Car Charger
$30 Case
$30 Adapter for old accessory's
120% agree!
Your post is the most accurate. How about adding $100 for "Apple care," $10/month [over 2 years = $240] for "lost or stolen replacement insurance with AT&T, $50 (not $30) for the Otterbox Defender case, $39 for the lightning to 30 pin cable (because the $29 adapter won't work with Otterbox), $19 for 30 pin to USB adapter cable to use with $30 car charger (right now there is NO "iphone 5 car charger, you have to use a charger with a USB cord). While you can use the cord that comes with the phone, if you prefer to keep the car charger in the car and not have to move cords from house to car, you will end up buying another USB cord. So,
$199 phone,
$35 activiation,
$70 tax,
$30 car charger,
$50 case,
$19 addt'l USB cord,
$240 lost/stolen coverage,
$100 Apple care plan,
$39 lightning to 30 pin cable
Oh yes, of course! $369 is the minimum cost.
If I upgrade to an iPhone 5 I will be needing exactly 0 of these must have accessories. Actually no I will probably want to buy a case which surely costs at least $50. So let it be known, folks – obviously $369 is the minimum cost. Maybe more.
I find this list disingenuous.
iPhone 5: $199 (base 16GB unit with contract)
Case: $50
Car Charger: $10
Stereo Dock: $100
Armband: $10
For one, a $50 case is absurd, you can easily buy a good case for $20-$30 (still ridiculous for a little slab of plastic, but whatever), anybody who already has any kind of phone charger probably has the 12V DC to USB charger in their car so you can simply plug the Lightning to USB cable into the car charger you already have. The stereo dock is a real concern, though it's not mandatory, and you could probably re-use your old one if you bought the adapter (a ridiculous $29 charge), and an Armband? Really? My guess is that less than 10% of people with iPhones have armbands.
More reasonable is this:
iPhone 5: $199 (base 16GB unit with contract)
Case: $30
Car Charger: $10 (if not already owned)
Dock Adapter: $30
Minimum Total Cost: $269, a full $100 cheaper, and still pretty steep.
Basically if you switched from the iPhone to the Galaxy SIII or HTC EVO or something, you'd still have to purchase most of those things, except for the dock, because there are no really decent Android docks due to the lack of standardization of the hardware.
Actually the minimum cost (with a contract) is $199 plus tax. Almost nothing you listed is a real necessity. "Stereo dock" and "armband" are now minimum requirements for having an iPhone?
I've had a 4S for years, bought a case on eBay for $12, and have never owned a car charger, stereo dock or armband. Any car charger worth it's mettle is going to be the type that connects via USB into your cigarette lighter, meaning it will be compatible with the lightning cable.
This whole article is nonsense.
You're missing one huge additional number here. TAX!!. AT&T makes me pay TAX on the full retail value, not the contract supplemented $199. Where I live sales tax is 8.25% which for a $649.00 phone adds ~$53.54.
$199 becomes $250+.

Temple-LEAP's mission is to educate non-lawyers, particularly middle and high school students from Philadelphia area schools, about the law and citizenship. Started in 1974, LEAP reaches these goals by teaching about principles of democracy while developing critical reading, writing and thinking skills. The cornerstone of Temple-LEAP is the John S. Bradway High School Mock Trial Competition. The Temple-LEAP office administers the Philadelphia competition together with other programs that engage non-lawyers to learn more about the law and civic education. The Young Lawyer's Division of the Philadelphia Bar Association also collaborates with Temple-LEAP on coordinating the camp and recruiting coaches and judges.
Each year, the John S. Bradway High School Mock Trial Competition brings together students from over 50 public, private, charter and parochial schools in the Philadelphia area to present a simulated case trial. The competition enables students to learn courtroom tactics, debate tactics, as well as critical thinking and public speaking skills. The City Champion represents the region in the state competition and has a chance to go to the national level. The Mock Trial experience has enriched the lives of many student participants, prompting many students who were not on the college path to attend college and even law school.
Preparation for the 2014 Mock Trial Competition season is underway. The 2014 season starts with the Mock Trial Camp on Saturday, November 9th, 2013 . The schedule for the Philadelphia competition begins on January 27th for Developmental League teams and on January 30th for Standard League teams. The Philadelphia competition concludes on Saturday, March 15, 2014 with the City Championship at Temple Law School. The State competition will be held on March 28th and 29th in Harrisburg, PA. This season's National Competition will be held May 8th-10th in Madison, Wisconsin.
Over 250 attorneys and law students must come together to make the mock trials work. Attorneys are needed to help coach high school teams and serve as scorekeeping and presiding judges. Law students can also participate as scorekeeping judges and coaches (2L and 3L). Coaches are asked to commit at least 15 - 20 hours to a team and help students develop theory, speeches and witness examinations. Scorekeeping judges evaluate and score the trial techniques. Presiding judges rule on objections at trial. Attorneys in all practice areas are eligible to serve as coaches. Attorneys who have given their time to serve as coaches have found the experience to be extremely rewarding. You can volunteer online to serve as a presiding or scoring judge by clicking here
The Mock Trial Camp is organized in a joint effort by Temple-LEAP and the Young Lawyers Division of the Philadelphia Bar Association. It is an intensive all-day event that couples an instructive component with hands-on training in direct and cross-examination of parties and witnesses. Philadelphia public, private, and parochial school students participating in this event get a preview of this year's case as they work alongside attorneys and law students to practice their trial skills. The students will have the chance to experience a real law school class, taught by Temple's renowned trial advocacy faculty. During the camp, students learn the skills necessary to successfully handle the basic components of a trial and get the opportunity to practice in front of Temple Law students and members of the Philadelphia legal community.
The Mock Trial Training Camp takes place on Saturday, November 9, 2013 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Temple University 's Beasley School of Law, located at 1719 North Broad Street.
Students attending this event must pre-register at email@example.com and should read the 2014 Pennsylvania Mock Trial Case Material which will be available Fri. Nov. 8th.

Sadie Hawkins Day: 10 Tips for women on how to ask a guy out
Published On: Nov 11 2013 03:00:37 PM EST Updated On: Nov 15 2013 01:00:00 AM EST
On Sadie Hawkins Day, by American folk custom, girls ask boys out on dates. Social norms that say men should be the ones to ask women out on dates aren't nearly as hard and fast as they used to be. Even so, it can be intimidating for a woman to take the initiative and do the asking. Here are 10 tips for women who want to ask a guy on a date.

Tasty food with anice atmosphere. Staff very friendly and attentive.
Excellent food and service! Try the pork chop and the meatloaf. Their collards are blow your mind delicious. Down right wonderful locally sourced home cooked goodness.
My new go to place for lunch on upper King- best onion rings ever
good food at the right price
Been twice, impressed both times. Had French toast at 11pm with a "Dark & Stormy" cocktail. The French toast was excellent with the sorghum syrup and $2 optional strawberries and bananas. The Dark & Stormy was tasty, but I wouldn't get another one for the $9 they charge for it. I came back later for lunch. Tried the chicken and waffle plate. The chicken was really, really damn good. The waffle was ok. Service was good both times.
I'm usually a downtown guy, but I live in Summerville. I've always been skeptical of going to bars in my own area but I decided to give Montreax a try this past Friday night. I was surprised about how normal and young the clientele was, similar to being at a bar downtown. Had a few drinks which weren't expensive at all and had a great time with my friends. Definitely checking it out again.
We've been there twice and found the service to be both friendly and attentive. The decor is really striking and I enjoy it. Their brunch benedict and chocolate french toast dishes were superb. The sausage sandwich is good but only if you like State Fair-level greasy. The bbq meatloaf sandwich is just as good as it sounds. The fried fish sandwich was a bit dry.
All in all, it is our current "go to" lunch spot for Sam Rittenburg-area shopping trips.
Loved the comedy night. Great crowd, fun times and lots of variety!
My wife and I have been to this place 3 times in the last 6 weeks. The food was really good. The prices for downtown cannot be beat for the amount of food you get. The only problem we have had is with getting the waitress to refill the water glass. In the 3 visits we made they never refilled the glasses. I will continue to visit this restaurant for the food and hope I can get the waitress to step up the level of service.
We loved the Early Bird Diner before it ever appeared on any Dive show. What I love is how the service and food has stayed the same despite the lines that now plague the sidewalk in the morning. We've come to discover however that Wintertime is a great time to come back to the Bird since the lines are diminished now that tourists have flocked back home. For us the chicken and waffles and Curry Breakfast Eggs are all time faves. Their taters, biscuits and red pepper jelly are also delicious. Its easy to see that love goes into every bite and this stuff truly is made fresh and with some clever twists. We love the specials too when the mood hits, but its hard to steer us away from those mainstays. The special ice cream flavors are so good that we sometimes get ice cream at brunch! And for folks that think the Early Bird opens early...oh my...it does not. Check the weekend times and then head on over. Early Bird is only a name and not a time indicator of when service starts..but when it does, we are always pleased and never disappointed.
First things first: this is a BAR with a menu, a sports bar more specifically. Nothing wrong with that, but I somehow missed that when choosing a meet-up place for my family and parents. And evidently they didn't offer us any of their drugs. Rip-off! ;-) Just kidding.
That being said, the waitress was very friendly, it wasn't loud, it is smoke free (yay, Charleston!) and the food (while slow because we were the only ones eating) was very good and very reasonable. Fish Po' Boy, Lobster Roll, Cheese steak and the Pepperoni Rolls were all super tasty. A definite winner for a casual sports bar.
Great specialty burgers prepared with quality beef are the main attraction. The wide and creative selection of toppings makes up for minimal seasoning used in the nice, thick cooked-to-order patties. Table service during a recent luchtime visit was excellent, very attentive, and as an added bonus - extremely attractive. Comfortable interior decor and bar layout with some inviting outside tables for fair weather days. Hand cut fries were a little soggy and only lukewarm, otherwise Pawley's would receive all 5 stars. So many neighborhood bar and grills in Mount Pleasant totally miss the very basics of proper service, good food, cold beer, and a friendly atmosphere, but Pawley's is an example of how things should be done.
Good, simple food in a diner atmosphere. No frills and has the decor of a late 70's Dennys. But the food is Okay, and interesting menu items, like alligator with grits. If you go on weekend mornings, you will see nothing but locals, lots of handshakes, old blue hairs and the southern church crowd. It is a step back in time.
I am interested in attending Saturday evening 8/4/2012 'cause of their entertainment and to try something from the menu: 'THE STUD FARM' with guitarist Jeff Bateman(if he is still in this band) and who's a really great musician.
I have been to the bar and will return again tonight for the second time. I loved it and am looking forward to another great night!
Really good fully loaded burgers. Great shoestring fries. Terrific veggie burrito. Neat neighborhood joint. Big promoters of the Lowcountry High Rollers.
I've always been a fan of Page's. Good southern cooking at a reasonable price. I've only had minor problems with the service, but it had more to do with staffing than anything else (1 server for 10 or so parties is a tad unreasonable in my opinion). The food is excellent, and I really loved their German nights a couple of months ago. It's just high quality local stuff, and they do run out of the good stuff quick, so you are best advised to come early. I hate the parking lot (there are more ruts and holes leading up to it than I could ever imagine), but the location is convenient in Mount Pleasant and generally there isn't a line to get in the place.
I've been there three times. Had the veggie burger, chicken sandwich, and chicken and waffles. Everything was pretty good. What I really loved were the red velvet cupcakes.
Salsa nite has been discontinued on saturdays for months now, why is this still not updated. I've never tried the restaurant, this is not a review of the restaurant. Salsa nite used to be awesome but last I heard, it was moved elsewhere.
Exposed brick w/hardwood floors throughout.... live music & plasma tv's ......good heavy bar food thats well priced. hmmmmm summerville needed this place bad
hi the world is negative enough.......when you find a good -kind place to be your hang out and its run well dont listen to anyone else. im older and not your average person but im a free spirit and this neighborhood watering hole is great. prices are right and quality is certainly there.i am an amputee and the staff makes me feel at home and respected as a person. Where else can the bartender always hit your drink and smile. Thanks Kristen.YOU HAVE A FAN IN ME AND I COME FROM MT.P.

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) has selected the iBill Talking Money Identifier for the U.S. Currency Reader Program. Through this program, the BEP will distribute the iBill device at no cost to eligible blind and visually impaired persons.
Wilmington, DE (PRWEB) July 03, 2014
Orbit Research today announced the selection of its iBill Talking Money Identifier by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) for the U.S. Currency Reader Program. Through this program, the BEP will distribute the iBill device at no cost to eligible blind and visually impaired persons.
Beginning with distribution to eligible attendees at the annual conventions of the National Federation of the Blind (NFB), American Council of the Blind (ACB), and Blinded Veterans of America (BVA), the U.S. Currency Reader Program will be open to the broader population in the January 2015 timeframe.
First introduced in 2009, and now in its second generation, the iBill has set the standard for affordability, compactness, speed and accuracy, factors which rapidly made it the market leader. We are thrilled and humbled that the BEP has chosen the iBill for the U.S. Currency Reader Program. said Dr. Gina Spagnoli, a founder of Orbit Research. For over 15 years, Orbit Research has been committed exclusively to developing innovative products for the blind and visually impaired community and the selection of the iBill for this program is a source of great satisfaction for our team, she added.
The iBill is designed with the sole purpose of providing the simplest, fastest and most accurate means to denominate US banknotes, the everyday task that most people take for granted, but which can be a challenge for people who are blind or visually-impaired since all denominations of US currency are the same size. Its unique ergonomic design permits easy and intuitive use without the need for any specialized training or extensive practice. Upon insertion of a banknote into the device, its denomination is identified at the press of a button. Based on the users preference, the denomination is announced by a clear and natural voice, or by tone or vibration for privacy. The unit identifies all US banknotes in circulation.
Orbit Research develops and manufactures innovative and affordable products that enable an independent lifestyle for people who are blind or visually impaired. Founded with the mission to fulfill the urgent need for affordable assistive technology products, the company has introduced breakthrough products like the Orion Talking Scientific Calculators and the iBill Talking Banknote Identifier that define the state-of-the-art in features, functionality, convenience and cost.

The Most Frequently Used Trig Angles
There are certain angles that you will use frequently when you work with trigonometry functions. You can find these angles by cutting a graph into four parts, and then dividing those parts into smaller ones.
If you cut a graph into four parts, by tradition, the upper right-hand corner of the coordinate plane is labeled as being the first quadrant. That first quadrant is one-quarter of the entire plane. The other quadrants are then labeled, moving counter-clockwise.
So if a full circle with its center at the origin has a total of 360 degrees, then one-quarter of it has 90 degrees, which is the measure of the angle that the first quadrant forms. Actually, each quadrant measures exactly 90 degrees.
You can divide each of these 90-degree measures evenly by many numbers, and you use those equal divisions frequently in trig, because they're nice, neat divisions.
This elite group of angle measures is 90, 60, 45, 30, 15, and 0 degrees.
These angles and their multiples occupy much of the discussion in trigonometry because of their convenience in computations. The above figure shows sketches of some of the angles.

According to an IMPD report, Malone was at Ruth Chris Steakhouse in downtown Indianapolis on December 22 and refused to pay her bill at the bar.
The manager on duty called police when Malone allegedly became belligerent. She reportedly slammed her wine glass against the bar and refused to leave.
She was arrested and taken to the arrestee processing center.Malone, an attorney, was given a job as an assistant corporation counsel by the Ballard administration following her defeat for re-election. IndyPolitics says she no longer holds that position. Malone was elected as an at-large councilor in 2007. She always voted down the line with the Ballard administration and exhibited no Republican philosophical leanings. A former Democrat, she only ran as a Republican in the 2007 primary after Democrats made it clear to her that she had no future in their party. Malone defeated one of the slated candidates in the primary and rode the anti-tax wave that swept former Mayor Bart Peterson out of office, along with control of the council. Malone was swept out of office in the 2011 municipal election when the Democrats captured all four at-large council seats.

Javier Gomez Noya and Lisa Norden Top Hy-Vee Triathlon in Des Moines, Iowa
One thing Spain's Javier Gomez Noya and Sweden's Lisa Norden have in common: they both just missed out on the top spot this summer in London. Another thing they now have in common: they both became a whole lot richer after winning the Hy-Vee Triathlon in Des Moines, Iowa this weekend. The Hy-Vee is known as the largest purse in international triathlon competition and both athletes secured wins in the 5150 U.S. Championship Elite Cup division on Sunday.
Gomez Noya, who finished just behind Britain's Alistair Brownlee at The Games this summer, was able to top the London champion despite treacherous (HOT) conditions in Iowa. Gomez Noya topped America's Hunter Kemper by a comfortable 38 seconds to secure a purse of over $150,000. Brownlee eventually finished in an unanticipated 14th place. Gomez Noya, Brownlee and Kemper all began the run portion together, however, Brownlee faded quickly and Kemper could not overcome the Spaniard in the end.
"That was the key to the race. Try to fight against the heat," Gomez said.
On the women's side, Norden also had a tough American to compete with for the top spot in Des Moines. Sarah Haskins, the winner in Texas, Philadelphia, Minneapolis and Chicago, all in 2012, was the clear favorite to win Sunday's race. Norden had other plans however, as she pressed Haskins to the end. Norden stayed steadily behind Haskins who controlled the majority of the race up to the first of four laps of the run. Norden eventually overcame and held on to win her second consecutive Hy-Vee race.
"It was very warm out there. I just had to look after myself and not do anything stupid," Norden said. "I was very insecure going into the run. I started this race not knowing if I'd be able to finish or if my body was going to hold on for just another race. And it did."
Oakley athletes Greg Bennett (USA) and Britain's Jodie Stimpson both took third place in their respective gender races. Congratulations to Javier and Lisa on their impressive victories in the heat and best of luck during the rest of the season.5150 Hy-Vee 5150 U.S. Championship

Depending on how data is entered or obtained from an external source, it is quite possible that rows with duplicate, or mostly duplicate, data could appear in your Excel worksheet. While manually removing duplicate rows in a small worksheet is not much trouble, doing so in a large worksheet would very time-consuming and be prone to errors.
To solve the problem, Excel has a tool that can clear duplicate data with just a few mouse clicks. Follow these directions:

Who: A 21-year-old singer-songwriter from Kent, Ohio who will release her second full-length album Tell Me on February 8. The record is part of the young singer's ongoing collaboration with Black Keys guitarist Dan Auerbach, who has produced both of her albums and provided her big break when she sang on the Keys' Attack and Release in 2007.
Sounds Like: A disarming collision of stark country balladry, dynamic alternative rock and arty electronic pop. Mayfield's vocal delivery often recalls the bold, plaintive drawl of Lucinda Williams, but her taste for oblique lyricism and unusual musical textures owes more to the anything-goes alternative country of Neko Case and Wilco.
Black Keys Protégé: Auerbach discovered Mayfield's first EP White Lies on MySpace when she was still in high school. "Dan sent me a MySpace message," she tells Rolling Stone. "He was like "Hey, I play in a local band called the Black Keys.'" Mayfield was only vaguely aware of them at the time, but her boyfriend was a big fan. "I was like 'You know that band, you gave me the CD? We're gonna go hang out.'" She and Auerbach hit it off immediately. "The day we met we recorded eight songs together – my songs, his songs, covers," she says. "There's something to be said about that, how easy it is for us to work together."
Becoming Mean: Since Mayfield began writing songs at the age of 11, all of her early romantic experiences ended up documented in music. "I wrote about every first," she says. "Every kiss, first boyfriend, first heartbreak, blah blah blah." With Tell Me, she says she's moved on to being more aggressive in her lyrics. "The new album is kinda me being a dick," she explains. "I put all the meanest actions and thoughts into my songs." Mayfield was afraid that she crossed a line when she made a reference to an ex's hometown on the track "Trouble", but Auerbach talked her out of softening her words. "I've found that it's important to be personal," she says, "so I now I try to trust my gut instinct."

Stupendous early-sixties date with Wayne Shorter, Bobby Timmons and Lee Morgan, on fire with political fury. From a string of 'Blue Notes for a blue note' out recently (and no doubt briefly).
Brilliant version of the title track. Live. Thunderous. Classic Blue Note.
Banging, key Messengers. Blakey is a polyrhythmic blaze; Shorter is vicious. Hubbard bows out of the line-up with a passionate tribute to the Congress of Racial Equality.
Bracingly direct and spontaneous, with Brice Winston and Ravi Coltrane, Lionel Loueke on guitar, Fabian Almazan on piano, Ron Carter and Joshua Crumbly, Kendrick Scott on drums.
Great hard bop, passing in 1967 from bluesy to modal, with Cedar Walton, Billy Higgins and the terrific Sonny Red. The long title track is sultry and grooving; and there's a version of the dancer Book's Bossa.
The one-off is a Japanese issue, Toshiba-EMI.
At his peak, with Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock in 1961. Pentecostal Feeling and the rest. Zinging outward-bound hard-bop. LP from Doxy.
1961 session with Pepper Adams and Herbie Hancock. Kicks off with I'm An Old Cowhand… always a winner.
From 1957: Paul Chambers (bass), Kenny Burrell (guitar), Hank Jones (piano), Art Taylor (drums).

Growing Almonds
Growing California Almonds comes with a unique set of circumstances that include both opportunities and challenges. Research by the Almond Board of California has shown consumers that the almond is a healthful choice to add to their diets, and communicating that message is a significant component of the marketing activities of the Almond Board of California. Add their delicious taste, crunchy texture and versatility to the almond's attributes and you have a powerful marketing message to customers and consumers worldwide. These messages have helped build demand year after year, even as acreage and yields set new records time and time again.
California Almonds are a wholesome, premium food and ingredient, and ensuring their quality begins in the orchard with growers who use all the modern—and traditional—tools, techniques and knowledge available to them.
Through its production, environmental and food quality and safety committees, the Almond Board of California has supported research that provides growers with the most up-to-date knowledge for growing almonds productively and efficiently while maintaining high standards for food safety and environmental protection. These activities, along with ongoing marketing efforts, will help sustain the health of the California Almond industry well into the future.
The Growing Almonds section of this Web site is designed to provide California Almond growers with information and resources both within these pages and from other valuable online sources that will help them succeed in growing the healthiest specialty crop in the world.
Held on February 6, the 2014 North San Joaquin Valley Almond Day highlighted a variety of timely topics for almond growers. Sponsored by the UC Cooperative Extension, subject area experts presented on several topics -- many of which have benefitted from Almond Board research funding: leaffooted plant bug monitoring and treatment, sprayer technology and efficacy, farm advisor updates, groundwater basin dynamics and management, drought irrigation approaches, and salinity management. You can find those presentations here.

Participate in ALCMI
ALCMI is already helping to transform and establish a standard of care for Lung Cancer patients through our inaugural collaborative research project termed the CASTLE Network Study. This clinical trial was launched in November 2010 and is collecting tumor tissues, blood and clinical data from advanced stage Lung Cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to conduct laboratory tests and research on cancer tissue and blood samples donated by people diagnosed with Lung Cancer. Once collected, the CASTLE Network Study will store tissue, blood samples and clinical information in the ALCMI Biorepository and Data Repository for future research. ALCMI offers this one-of-a-kind research resource for investigators around the globe working to significantly improve survival of Lung Cancer patients.For study details click here
Men and women diagnosed with advanced stage Lung Cancer with no limit on the number of prior cancer treatments. There is no pre-set limit to the number of people who will participate in the CASTLE Network Study, but it is estimated that 250 people across the United States and possibly from Europe. Patients can be enrolled into CASTLE at one of the Collaborating Institutions, currently 7 academic and community medical centers in the United States (see below) with three to four more to be added soon. Advanced stage Lung Cancer is defined as Stage M1A and M1B Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and all stages of Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC).
You will be asked to provide a tissue sample and blood samples at the time of study entry for diagnostic testing and storage for future research. We will also collect your health information. You will not be asked to undergo another biopsy; instead we will collect a piece of your tumor from your last biopsy.
Your doctor will order diagnostic biomarker and in vitro tests on your tumor tissue as a prerequisite for entry into the CASTLE study. Reports of the results of these tests will be given to your study doctor by the commercial testing laboratories and put in your health records. These test reports may help your doctor decide what treatment to give you, and may affect your care.
You will also be asked to provide blood samples and health information again each time there are changes in your Lung Cancer treatment. In addition, your study doctor will contact you ever three months to ask about your health.
Research that will be done on your cancer tumor tissue and blood samples that will be stored might help people who have Lung Cancer and other diseases in the future. Reports about research done with your tissue and blood samples will not be given to you or your doctor. The research reports will not be put in your clinical records.
You will be in the study for as long as you choose to participate or until the study closes.
To participate in the CASTLE Network Study, you must be a patient at one of the Participating Institutions.
Researchers from other universities, hospitals, and research institutions may conduct research using these samples. They must contact ALCMI and request samples for their studies. A group overseeing how the ALCMI samples and health information is stored and used will review the way that these studies will be done, and decides if any of the samples can be used. If the ALCMI review board agrees that the samples can be used, they will arrange for transfer of samples from the storage location to the researchers.

Oskaloosa Herald
This metal artwork is in tribute to Oskaloosa's rich musical history.
The Oskaloosa Area Chamber and Development Group has commissioned New Sharon blacksmith Phil Hebert to create a number of planters. Powder coat work on the planters is being completed by Ron Spurlock of Hedrick.
The profits from these planters, which will be for sale through the chamber, are slated to help maintain the flowers on the Oskaloosa square, said OACDG Events Coordinator Karen Hafner.
Hafner explained that Hebert's involvement with the Fine Arts and Cultural Events of Mahaska County organization is what brought his blacksmithing talent to the chamber's attention.
In proposing the planter idea to Hebert, Hafner said it was clear that the planters should incorporate a musical theme in tribute to Oskaloosa's history of music. This past summer, the 100th anniversary of the city's bandstand was recognized over a series of concerts put on by the Oskaloosa City Band.
So far, the planters have popped up at places like Bank Iowa and Mahaska Drug, noted Hafner. There is also one inside the OACDG office, she added.
The planters will be available for both businesses and residential property, said Hafner. Those interested in the planters, which come in both small and large sizes, can call the OACDG at 672-2591.
Late last week, Hebert discussed the planters project in his New Sharon blacksmithing shop. He said that when he was asked to do the planters, he was simply told to incorporate a musical theme. From there he began making the 3D trumpets and tambourines out of metal that appear on the planters. Hebert noted that working with metal this way is very different from simply cutting a design out of a flat piece of sheet metal.
Hebert noted that Vance Alexander, a former industrial arts teacher in New Sharon, helped out with determining how to accomplish the planters project.
For the past 15 years, Hebert has been spending his spare time working on various blacksmithing projects, many of which have been private commissions from people he knows personally. Hebert said he first began creating using steel and copper back when he lived in Kirksville, Mo. For the past dozen years or so, Hebert has continued his blacksmithing hobby from a workshop just a few steps from his New Sharon home.
When asked how he first got into blacksmithing, Hebert pointed to a good friend of his who specializes in knife making.
Although he'd had some experience working in a sheet metal shop making "anything and everything you could imagine," it took time for Hebert to get better and better at traditional blacksmith work.
"It was a challenge to make whatever someone asked me to make," said Hebert, noting that the challenging aspects of blacksmithing are what he enjoys about the trade.
Creativity is a must when it comes to blacksmithing, according to Hebert.
"I think most people need to be creative in some way or form," he said.

Updated 11:11 a.m.
The U.S. House of Representatives approved a deal late Tuesday to ease portions of the so-called "fiscal cliff," according to the Huffington Post.
The compromise was approved by the Senate at 2 a.m. Tuesday, and despite talk of rejecting it, the House ultimately passed the bill by a vote of 257 to 167.
The entire Mass. delegation voted for the deal, including retiring Congressman Barney Frank, D-Newton. He was on WBUR earlier today to speak about the deal.
"The deal that we have is not good from my standpoint, but it's the best we could get," Frank said in an interview with WBUR.
Sens. John Kerry, D-MA, and Scott Brown, R-MA, both supported the measure in the Senate.
"Just voted for the fiscal cliff bill," Brown said on his Facebook Page at 1:55 a.m on New Year's Day. "Not the full answer but a small step forward. A lot of work next session. Good luck."

Times West Virginian
FAIRMONT — One of the biggest issues facing West Virginia's Legislature in the upcoming session will be their response to the recently released audit commissioned by the governor's office to investigate and make recommendations for the state's education system.
On Tuesday, representatives from the American Federation of Teachers sat down with legislators from Marion and nearby counties to discuss their concerns with the audit and bring out suggestions for possible legislation down the road.
Delegates from Monongalia, Marion, Wetzel and Randolph counties attended, as well as state Sen. Bob Beach, who represents Marion and Monongalia counties. Teachers from Marion, Monongalia, Wetzel, Harrison, Braxton, Taylor and Barbour counties as well as higher education and service personnel also attended.
"I know you guys are going to hear a lot over the session," Sam Brunett, president of the Monongalia County division of the AFT and a member of the state board, told the legislators.

Strawberry shortcake is like potato salad: We all have our own version.
It comes down to one of two camps, says Chapel Hill cookbook author Sheri Castle, Biscuit people or cake people.
With strawberry season upon us, we set out to explore this divide among strawberry shortcake lovers.
The biscuit folks, who tend to be Southern, will serve either individual biscuits topped with berries and sweetened whipped cream or make one large biscuit with the same toppings but cut like a cake. (Castle prefers this version and adds one more treat to the mix: chocolate gravy.)
The cake camp is more fractured. They will serve sliced strawberries and whipped cream with a slice of pound cake, angel food cake, shortbread or sponge cake, including those sold in groups of six, wrapped in plastic and stacked next to the berries at the grocery store.
Southern food writer and television cooking personality Nathalie Dupree considers a biscuit traditional for shortcake, where the dough is made short, or crisp with a high ratio of fat to flour.
But Dupree says, I dont think it really matters as long as it doesnt decompose and is sturdy enough to be broken easily with a fork.
Breaking from tradition, Dupree sometimes serves her strawberry shortcake splashed with a bit of sweet balsamic vinegar or replaces the whipped cream with Greek yogurt flavored with vanilla and powdered sugar.
No matter whether you use cake or biscuits, the one drawback of strawberry shortcake is that it typically has to be assembled at the last minute so the biscuit or cake doesnt disintegrate from too much berry juice and whipped cream.
But cookbook author Sara Foster serves up a buttermilk layer cake at her Fosters Market in Durham that takes advantage of that very problem. Her four-layer cake has berries and cream between each layer and can be made up to a day ahead.
You want everything to mush together, she said. The cake soaks up the flavors of the whipped cream and the strawberries.
Regardless of where you fall on the strawberry shortcake divide, Foster said, If strawberries are good and in season, you really cant go wrong.
HEAT oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
WHISK together 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour, cake flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work in 6 tablespoons of cold butter until the pieces are the size of small peas. Stir in the cream until shaggy dough forms.
TURN dough out onto a very lightly floured surface and knead 2 or 3 times, just until it comes together. Roll or pat the dough into a rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. Stamp out 5 biscuits with a 3-inch cutter. Press straight down without twisting the cutter so that the biscuits can rise evenly to their full height. Gently gather and roll the scraps of dough and cut out the sixth biscuit. You might have enough scraps for an oddly shaped bonus biscuit.
TRANSFER biscuits to a baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake until golden, about 25 minutes. Cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
TOSS berries with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar in a large bowl and set aside for at least 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
SIFT cocoa, 1 cup granulated sugar and instant flour into a large skillet (preferably cast-iron). Slowly add milk, whisking until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously with a heatproof spatula until the gravy thickens to the consistency of thin pudding, about 8 minutes. The gravy will thicken around the edge first, so keep it stirred up from the bottom and sides. Remove pan from heat and add remaining 4 tablespoons butter, one piece at a time, stirring until it melts before adding the next.
SPLIT biscuits in half and divide among the serving plates. Top with berries and their juice. Ladle a generous amount of warm gravy over the top and serve hot.
Yield: 6 servingsButtermilk Cake with Fresh Strawberries and Cream Foster's Market makes this cake with square pans, which produces an unusual look, but feel free to use round pans instead. This cake can be made up to a day ahead and refrigerated. From "The Foster's Market Cookbook," by Sara Foster with Sarah Belk King (Random House, 2002). 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided 6 large eggs 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 2 cups buttermilk 3 cups heavy cream 3 pints fresh strawberries, hulled, and cut into 1/2-inch lengthwise slices 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled (for the top) Confectioners' sugar, to garnish, optional
HEAT oven to 325 degrees. Grease and lightly flour two 9-inch round or square cake pans. Set aside.
SIFT together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl and stir to mix. Set aside.
CREAM together butter and 2 1/4 cups sugar in a separate bowl with an electric mixer. Add eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture and beat several minutes until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and stir by hand.
ADD buttermilk to the flour mixture, alternating with egg mixture, and stir until well combined.
DIVIDE batter evenly between prepared pans and bake 45 to 50 minutes, until the cakes are firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean.
REMOVE from the oven and cool cakes 10 to 15 minutes in the pans. Remove from pans and continue to cool on a baking rack. Once cakes have cooled completely, use a serrated knife to slice off the rounded top part of each layer to make a flat even surface. Cut each layer in half horizontally through the center to make 4 layers. Discard the trimmings.
WHIP cream in a bowl with remaining 1/4 cup sugar until soft peaks form.
PLACE one of the layers, cut side down, on a cake plate. Top with about one-third of the whipped cream and one-third of the sliced berries. Repeat the process with the next two layers and the remaining whipped cream and berries. Place fourth layer on top, cut side down. Top with whole hulled berries and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar just before serving. Use a serrated knife to cut the cake. (If you are going to refrigerate the cake, add the confectioners' sugar just before serving. The cake can be refrigerated up to 1 day ahead.)
Yield: 12 to 16 servingsOld-Fashioned Pound Cake From "Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking," by Nathalie Dupree and Cynthia Graubart (Gibbs Smith, 2012). 3 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or cake flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 6 large eggs, lightly beaten, room temperature 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or rosewater Confectioners' sugar
POSITION rack in the lower third of the oven and heat to 325 degrees. Butter and flour a 10-inch tube Bundt pan or 2 (9x5x3-inch) loaf pans. Line with parchment or waxed paper. Butter and flour the paper.
USING a whisk or fork, mix flour and salt together in a bowl for about 30 seconds. Set aside.
CUT butter into 1-inch pieces and add to bowl of a stand mixer, and beat on low speed until soft. Increase the speed and whisk for 1 to 2 minutes, until it looks like lightly whipped cream.
ADD sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, starting on slow and increasing speed until well whipped, about 7 or 8 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary throughout the batter process. Reduce mixer speed to medium.
SLOWLY add half the eggs, 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time, until they are incorporated. (If the batter curdles, it is still usable; just try to add eggs slower the next time the cake is made.) Add vanilla and beat 30 seconds more. Reduce speed to medium-low.
ADD dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with remaining eggs, mixing for 20 seconds after each addition, continuing to scrape down the bowl as needed. The batter should be smooth and creamy.
SPOON or ladle the batter into prepared pan or pans, filling the pan two-third full; smooth on top. Give the pan a light tap on the counter. Bake in the preheated oven for 85 to 90 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown on top and begins to come away from the sides of the pan, and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. The internal temperature of the cake should be 190 to 195 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.
REMOVE cake from the oven. Cool on wire rack 10 minutes. Invert the pan to remove the cake. Cool the cake top side up or resting on its side. Remove the parchment after cooling and dust the top with confectioners' sugar. It freezes well.
Yield: 1 Bundt cake or 2 loaf pansAngel Food Cake This recipe comes from an award-winning story by Renee Enna in The Chicago Tribune. To read the story and Enna's additional notes on the recipe, go to goo.gl/8JYKv. 1 cup cake flour 7/8 cup sugar plus 3/4 cup sugar 12 egg whites 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
HEAT oven to 375 degrees. Measure the cake flour and 7/8 cup sugar into a bowl (for 7/8 cup, measure a cup, then remove 2 tablespoons); sift together. Set aside.
COMBINE egg whites, cream of tartar, salt, vanilla and almond extract into the bowl of an electric mixer; beat on medium speed with electric mixer until soft peaks form. Slowly add the 3/4 cup sugar, beating on medium-high speed until combined.
REDUCE speed to low; slowly mix in the flour-sugar mixture just until incorporated.
GENTLY spoon batter into a 10-inch aluminum tube pan. Gently cut through batter with a butter knife.

STILLWATER, Okla. —
Hailey Selman watches as a young camper anxiously paces the sideline waiting for his chance to play. The Stillwater senior-to-be then goes over and reassures the player that he will get his turn.
Why? Because she's been there.
Selman wasn't always the biggest, fastest or strongest growing up. In fact, she didn't think she would be playing soccer past junior high school. Now, she's not only playing at a high level, but she's also trying to help others follow in her footsteps.
"I feel really honored to be on the staff (at the Pioneer Soccer Academy)," Selman said. "I remember looking up to the older players and now I'm one of the older players. I feel so honored to be one of those people that they look up to.
"It's so weird. I wasn't expecting it to be like this. They'll come over to me and ask me questions about soccer and stuff. I wasn't ever expecting to be that player that gets asked questions from little kids because I was never that good."
Selman is one of more than a dozen former and current Pioneers helping with the Pioneer Soccer Academy this week, doing everything from tying the shoes of the younger kids to teaching advanced skills and techniques to the older kids.
"I love teaching kids how to play soccer," former Stillwater star Matheus Barbosa said. "It's a real joy, especially in my hometown. ... During the game I'm just telling them basic stuff that people taught me when I was their age growing up in Brazil. I haven't taught them anything too advanced because they're very young players — just the basics of playing the game like passing and sharing the ball."
Teaching the future Pioneers and Lady Pioneers may be a big goal of the camp, but the real challenge is figuring out who is having more fun.
Whether it's celebrating a goal by wrapping a towel around a player's shoulders to create a cape or sharing laughter as one of the younger players heads toward the wrong goal, there are plenty of stories to be shared each day.
"It's a bunch of fun," Selman said. "I love the little kids. I love going home and telling my mom more stories about them. It's just such a great time."
"It's a chance to relive a little bit of the old days," Barbosa said. "When one of your teammates scores a goal, it's always exciting. Being the coach of the little kids, it's also exciting when they score. I might be happier than they are."
When it comes to soccer, few are happier to be on the pitch than Barbosa, who saw his high school career end last season.
"Any time I see anybody playing soccer, it revives me," Barbosa said. "It's always nice. It makes me just want to be out there with them.
"It's great that we have something like this. It's definitely a change and something that we haven't seen in Stillwater before. Now that it's coming around, it's really looking good for the future of the program. I'm always going to be a Pioneer, so to see this many kids out here is great because I'm always looking forward to the future of the program."
Who knows? Maybe somewhere in the 100 or so participants is a young Hailey Selman or Matheus Barbosa. And even if some of the players on Selman's team don't pan out, she said just getting the chance to be a coach has changed her outlook on things and possibly her career path after high school.
"It's such a great feeling," Selman said. "I get so excited and I love helping them. I'm just glad they'll listen to me and they'll learn from it.
"I love it. I'm going to do it again next year after I graduated. I'll come back for (the camp) because it is so much fun."

Today is a special day in America but it is especially joyous for me because I know in my heart that I live in the best country in the world.
This was not always true for me and that is why on this special day in partiicular, I am so thankful to my father for giving me the opportunity to grow up and being able to live in this country where people are free in every sense of the word.
But today, as we contemplate on our own fortune and count our blessings, here in this prosperous land, we cannot help to feel for the people of other countries i.e. the people of Israel and the Palestinians that on this very day are fighting for survival and the peace that we all have here in the United States of America.
Yes, on this special day, people around the world are not as lucky as we are. Two hundred years ago, a new country came on the scene and since then, the United States has been a beacon of hope for mankind on earth.
It was that hope of peace, freedom and opportunity that brought my grandfather and father to this country so many years ago.
Today, just as I so many years realized that hope and that dream, I wish the same for the people in faraway lands. Today, as I sit down at the table with family and friends, I wish nothing more than for the people of Israel and Palestine to finally achieve the elusive peace that has escaped them for more than six decades.
Today, I wish peace, freedom and tranquility to All.
Happy Thanksgiving to my Father, my Mother and all the people of the United States and the world.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!!

Gwinnett County Public Schools expanded its code of conduct rules to include specifics for student athletes -- on and off the field -- beginning with the 2012-2013 school year.
According to a press release, the rules include higher expectations and "consistent consequences" for the violation of these rules. The new rules focus on student athletes as "representatives" of the Gwinnett County school district.
The county's board of education approved the rules in the spring.
"As a district, we feel that it is important for students and parents to understand that when a student chooses to participate in these activities, he or she is going to be held to a higher standard," said Mike Emery, the school district's director of athletics, activities, and community schools, in a press release.
He added: "We believe that if the students and parents know up front what the expectations of behavior are and what the potential consequences could be for engaging in unacceptable behavior, we will minimize the potential for bad decisions. We hold the students who participate in extracurricular activities in high esteem, with that comes added responsibility."
The district has been working on the new rules since 2009. Coincidentally, the rules, which include punishment for hazing, come after the DeKalb County school system launched an investigation into the act. The inquiry followed the hazing death of Robert Champion, a marching band member at Florida A&M University and graduate of Southwest DeKalb High School.
The rules will be in effect 24 hours everyday, including weekends and holidays and breaks when school is not in session. And, they will be imposed the first day a student signs up to participate in a sport.
All students will be able to find the new rules inside the code of conduct book distributed at the beginning of the school year.
"Our goal is not to catch kids doing bad things but to get kids to think about consequences for their actions before they engage in unacceptable behaviors," Emery said in a press release.
New student-athlete rules are:
- If given long-term suspension (exceeds 10 days), athletes will be ineligible to attend or participate in any athletic or extracurricular activity during time of suspension.
- If arrested or charged with any act that is a felony or would constitute a felony if committed by an adult, (regardless of location or time of the alleged act), there will be immediate suspension from sports until: the school determines the student is cleared; a prosecutor drops the charges; student pleads guilty to a misdemeanor; the student serves the required time, including probation.
- If athletes use tobacco of any kind, there is discretion on punishment by the individual school for the first infraction. For the second time, there will be suspension from the sport for a minimum of 10 percent of the remainder of the season. A third offense means an athlete will be dismissed from the team, but when the season ends for that sport, they can try out for other activities.
- If athletes are found using or in possession of drugs or other misdemeanors, a school authority will meet with the parents, and on the first offense the school district determines the appropriate consequence. On the second offense, there will be suspension from athletic extracurricular competition for a minimum of 20 percent of the remainder of the season. And, on the third offense, there will be suspension from all athletic extracurricular activities for the remainder of the school year.
- If a student violates any rule that results in in-school suspension or out-of-school suspension (short-term), he or she may not participate in the sport until the day after being released from in-school suspension, and in short-term suspension, students can return to regular sports participation after the suspension is served.
