Most Popular Baby Names: American Parents Have Voted for Change
When it comes to naming their children, American parents have decided it's time for a change. After a 12-year run as the most popular girl's name, Emily has slipped to number three, with Emma taking the top spot, followed by Isabella. Jacob sits at the top for the tenth consecutive year, followed by Michael and Ethan. The name everybody is wondering about, Barack, did not make this year's top 1,000 boy's list, but it did set what is believed to be a record by skyrocketing more than 10,000 spots in rising from number 12,535 in 2007 to 2,409 in 2008.
If you want to learn more about the most popular baby names, please read our press release at www.socialsecurity.gov/pressoffice/pr/baby-names2008-pr.htm.
In Times Like These, Every Dollar Counts
This Father's Day, Social Security is encouraging people to consider doing something for their fathers that can really make a difference. Show them how to get extra help with their Medicare prescription drug costs.
The cost of medicine can be a burden on people with limited income and resources, but help is available through Social Security — extra help that will pay part of Dad's monthly premiums, annual deductibles and prescription co-payments. The extra help could save Dad an average of $3,900 per year.
So encourage your clients to give their dads a gift that keeps on giving; tell them to talk with their fathers about the extra help available from Social Security. They can even go online and help their fathers apply. After all, in times like these, every dollar counts. Learn more at www.ssa.gov/prescriptionhelp/10164.html
Economic Downturn Leads to Worsening of Long-Range Financing Outlook
Last week, the Social Security Board of Trustees released its annual report on the financial health of the Social Security trust funds. The Trustees project that program costs will exceed tax revenues in 2016, one year sooner than projected in last year's report. The combined assets of the Old-Age and Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) Trust Funds will be exhausted in 2037, four years sooner than projected last year.
Michael Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security, advised, "We should be neither casual nor hysterical about the revised insolvency dates. As with the economy as a whole, the Social Security system will weather this recession. However, the sooner we get on with the task of reforming the system, the easier it will be to make the tough choices that we all know we need to make."
Learn more by reading the press release at www.socialsecurity.gov/pressoffice/pr/trustee09-pr.htm.
To see the Trustee's Report, please go to www.socialsecurity.gov/OACT/TR/2009.
President Obama Committed to Social Security
President Barack Obama has requested $11.6 billion for Social Security's administrative expenses in his fiscal year 2010 budget proposal. That's a 10 percent increase over the current year. In doing this, President Obama has demonstrated his commitment to helping Social Security reduce longstanding backlogs and handle the recession-related work that is flooding the agency.
Commissioner Astrue has said it is critical that Congress enact the President's budget proposal in a timely manner so we can continue to properly serve the American public.

Did you know claimants can check the status of their pending Social Security application on Social Security's website? It doesn't matter whether they applied for benefits online, in the Social Security office, or on the phone; and it doesn't matter whether the application is for retirement, disability, survivors or spouse's benefits. Just tell your client to visit www.socialsecurity.gov and select the "Check the status of your application" link on the upper, left-hand side. Then enter the Social Security number and the confirmation number, given at the time of the application. It's that easy. Refer claimants to www.socialsecurity.gov.
Wounded Warriors: Take Care with Medicare and TRICARE
When it comes to medical coverage for military personnel and their families, it's important to know the facts. Medicare is health insurance for people age 65 or older, under 65 with certain disabilities, and any age with End-Stage Renal Disease. TRICARE is the Department of Defense's health care plan for active duty or retired uniformed service members and their families.
TRICARE is meant to provide secondary or "wrap-around" coverage to Medicare, but only if enrolled in Medicare Part B. In most cases, to remain eligible for TRICARE private sector care, individuals who are entitled to Medicare Part A based on Social Security Disability must enroll in Medicare Part B.
To help make things clear, Social Security has a new fact sheet: Important Information for TRICARE (Military Health Benefits) Beneficiaries Entitled to Medicare Based on Social Security Disability. You can read it online at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10020.html.
Commissioner Astrue Honored for Public Health Leadership
The National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) has honored Commissioner Astrue with their Public Health Leadership Award. NORD noted Commissioner Astrue's "focus on reducing the disability backlog and improving service to the public." A key component of the Commissioner's backlog reduction plan is the agency's Compassionate Allowances initiative, a way to expedite the processing of disability claims for applicants whose medical conditions are so severe that their conditions obviously meet Social Security's standards. Social Security worked with NORD in developing the expedited decision process which was launched in October 2008, with an initial total of 50 conditions — 25 rare diseases and 25 cancers. Information about the process can be found at www.socialsecurity.gov/compassionateallowances.

August 14, 2010 will mark the 75th anniversary of the signing of the Social Security Act — the landmark legislation that created Social Security. We're looking for ideas on how to celebrate this important milestone. We welcome suggestions on a variety of topics as they relate to Social Security's history and the important role its programs play in the lives of millions of people. While our anniversary is in August of 2010, we're looking for suggestions on ways we can commemorate the anniversary throughout the entire year. Please share your ideas with us, and encourage your constituents to get involved, by visiting www.socialsecurity.gov/75-anni/form.html.

The 2014 football season kicks into high gear with a full slate of games on Friday night, Aug. 29.
Everybodys playing.
Timberland will host an angry Hanahan Hawks team that lost a heartbreaker to James Island in Week 0.
Cross welcomes defending Class A state champions Hunter-Kinard-Tyler to Ravenell Stadium.
St. Johns gets its SCISA 8-Man Football seaon rolling against defending Region 1 champs James Island Christian.
And the Berkeley Stags look to go 2-0 on the young season and end a three-game losing streak against Stratford at Bonner Stadium in Moncks Corner.
The Stags last tasted victory against the Knights 42-28, to open the 2010 season, Jerry Browns final season at Berkeley.
While Berkeley had won two straight at that point, including during the 2009 state title run, the Knights had the Stags number for much of the Jerry Brown era.
Stratford has won three in a row since, and 13 of 16 in the series after last seasons 29-10 victory. The Knights lead 20-10 going back to 1984.
Its always been competitive, Knights Coach Joe Marion said. A lot of the games have been extremely close.
In Week Zero, the Stags won their first season opener under Jeff Cruce and hope to keep the momentum going with a streak-ending win over the Knights.
We have to tackle better on defense, Cruce said. Our offense played well. We executed well, but we have to continue to work on fundamentals on both sides of the ball.
Cruce said Stratford will be tough: Stratford has beaten us a few times over the last few years and have great senior leadership and are well coached. They have a solid quarterback who can throw the ball. We have to play better than we played last week and that includes better execution on both offense and defense.
This will be an exciting ball game as it always is when Berkeley plays Stratford.
The game is Stratfords first without longtime coach Ray Stackley in nearly 30 years.
Timberland looks to get its season off on the right foot against former Class AA foe Hanahan.
Coach Art Craig is looking to better prepare his team for the playoffs by scheduling tougher pre-region competition. Timberland has scheduled Hanahan, Crestwood, Cross, Bishop England and Berkeley in its first five games, which include three former state champs, and the Battling Bishops, two-time Class AA champs.
Hanahan always presents a challenge, Craig said. They are a solid team and we have to come in and play our style of football if we look to compete against them.
We have to minimize our mistakes and control the tempo of the game.
Cross Coach Shaun Wright went and scheduled the defending Class A state champions in Hunter-Kinard-Tyler in the Trojan home opener.
Its all about getting ready for the region and the playoffs, Wright said. Id rather be 2-4 against good competition than 4-2 against weaker opponents.
Cross finished with a 6-6 record in 2013.
Wright said his program has had to deal with small school issues.
As a whole we are a month behind in terms of team building, conditioning and building overall depth needed to compete at a level we need to compete at, he said. We have several kids who will have to play out of necessity that just came out on the first day of school.
That might have been how the game was played back in the day, Wright added, but these days football is a year-round sport.
We are a marked program, he said.
The John McCall era officially begins at St. Johns Christian Academy this week against defending region champion James Island Christian.
McCall replaced Matt Gilbert. SJCA finished a disappointing 3-7 in 2013 and missed the playoffs one year after playing for the SCISA 8-Man Football state championship in 2012.
McCall said his team has invested the sweat equity over the summer months to prepare for the upcoming season.
Ive been really pleased with the teams effort this summer, he said. This is James Island Christian, defending region champs, so we have to be ready.
McCall hadnt decided on a quarterback, letting returning starter Dustin Parsons and Faith Christian transfer Josh Carter battle it out in summer practice. McCall did say if one wasnt the starter, hed be playing in another position on offense.
Josh may be the fastest player on the team and Dustin is tall, quick and has great hands. These two guys will be on the field somewhere, whether at quarterback, or wide receiver, or runningback.
Kickoff for all games is at 7:30 p.m.

In short, the Lego Batman is a game that is unexpectedly fun to play and provides all the challenges that I crave for. Sure, it is a different experience playing the bad guy but I really found it different and interesting in the end.
Lowly Worm
Nintendo DS
Sure, we've played Batman games before, maybe it's an old theme, but it is still a great one. Lego Batman: The Video game is similar to the Lego Star Wars and Indiana Jones games and if you are not adverse to the gothic world of Batman then you are going to definitely enjoy this one.
The game follows close to the heels of the previous two Lego games developed by the Travellers Tales team. There are some improvements which can make this game even better than the earlier versions. But unlike the Indiana Jones and Star Wars Lego games which were very faithful to the movies, here the developers were given a freer hand at the game play design. The developers created different story lines for this one so while it is a game with Batman in it, the rest of it is totally unique.
The mechanics of the game is the same though, the gamer gets to go around the different levels and worlds destroying the Lego foes and they get to build their own Lego structures which they can use to get into different areas in the many levels. Again, the characters will have their own personalities, skills and gifts which can get them through the levels without difficulties.
Now here's the twist. If you are used to playing Batman games as either Batman or Robin, this one gives the player the chance to play the game from the point of view of the enemy characters (how cool is that!). And it is done so well that many of the levels each have their own bad guys so your character shifting prowess would be put to the test here.
The most obvious difference of this game from the others is the way the story is told. Here, the Lego Batman can change the way things are by distinguishing the various chapters through panels that are closely drawn as comic books. Now as the Lego characters generally do not talk, you do not have to interpret what each of those comic panels mean.
The Lego Batman is one product of Nintendo DS which give the gamer a lot of game play in the many levels that can and cannot be unlocked. The gamer can play the game for endless hours trying to unlock all the levels. A friend can help out by working in tandem with another DS system using their own copy to speed up the process of finding out just how to unlock those un-lockable levels. It may not take hours; the discovery can literally take days. So is that challenging enough?
In short, the Lego Batman is a game that is unexpectedly fun to play and provides all the challenges that I crave for. Sure, it is a different experience playing the bad guy but I really found it different and interesting in the end. All I can say is, this is a different game, it offers a different experience and to call it the same of the old would be an insult to the designing team that made this a success. I like it better than the other Lego game, and would give it 8.5 points out 10.

Slaughterhouse to get boost
HILO- Hawaii's local and grass-fed beef industry will get a boost this week when Hawaii County breaks ground on renovations to a state-owned slaughterhouse on the Hamakua Coast.
The $4 million in state-funded improvements will boost slaughterhouse capacity by 40 percent. This will reduce a processing backlog that makes it difficult for ranchers to bring their animals to market at the right time.
The groundbreaking is scheduled for today.
The Paauilo Slaughterhouse is owned by the state and leased to Hawaii Beef Producers.
It's is one of two U.S. Department of Agriculture certified slaughterhouses on Hawaii Island, where over three-quarters of the state's cattle are raised.
Hawaii Cattlemen's Association President Tim Richards says the current lack of capacity impedes the industry's growth. He says the improvements are an important step forward.

The following is the first of seven position-by-position 2013 Pittsburgh Steelers NFL draft analyses:
On the roster: Ben Roethlisberger, Bruce Gradkowski, John Parker Wilson
Last six drafts: Since Mike Tomlin took over as head coach, the Steelers have drafted only one quarterback - Dennis Dixon (fifth round, 2008).
Top quarterbacks available: Geno Smith, West Virginia; Matt Barkley, USC; Ryan Nassib, Syracuse; EJ Manuel, Florida State; Tyler Wilson, Arkansas
The Steelers might take: Matt Scott, Arizona; Zac Dysert, Miami, Ohio; Collin Klein, Kansas State
Analysis: It became evident last season the Steelers need to start developing a young quarterback to add more insurance behind Roethlisberger. The signing of Gradkowski will allow them to start that process. Expect the Steelers to either draft a quarterback in the later rounds or bring one to camp as a priority free agent. Scott and Klein are QBs who can run the ball and are projected to be late-round picks. Dysert is more like Roethlisberger and comes from the same school as him.
On the roster: Shaun Suisham, Daniel Hrapmann (kickers); Drew Butler (punter); Greg Warren (long snapper)
Last six drafts: Punter Daniel Sepulveda (fourth round, 2007) never could stay injury free.
Top specialists available: Dustin Hopkins, Florida State; Caleb Sturgis, Florida (kickers); Jeff Locke, UCLA; Quinn Sharp, Oklahoma State (punters); Luke Ingram, Hawaii (long snapper)
The Steelers might take: None
Analysis: Suisham enjoyed a solid season in 2012, but Butler wasn't exactly a rookie phenom at punter. The Steelers will need to bring in a punter to give Butler a push, but they can't afford to spend a draft pick on one. Expect them to sign a free agent punter immediately after the draft concludes, along with a long snapper to give Warren some competition.
Coming Friday: Offensive line

[b]Cosby visits Johnstown[/b]
JOHNSTOWN - One of America's most beloved comedians, Bill Cosby, will come to the Cambria County War Memorial Arena to perform at 7:30 p.m. March 13.
After a wildly successful stand-up career, Cosby broke television's racial barrier with "I Spy," becoming the first African-American to costar on a television series while winning three consecutive Emmys.

Bill Cosby will perform at 7:30 p.m. March 13 at the Cambria County War Memorial Arena in Johnstown.
He created and produced the Emmy-winning cartoon "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids," which began airing in the 1970s and was made into a film in 2004.
Perhaps Cosby's greatest contribution to American entertainment and culture is "The Cosby Show," about a close-knit, upper class black family. Cosby said his intent was to portray an American family. Time magazine called the show "an encouraging sign of maturity in matters of race." "The Cosby Show" dominated the No. 1 spot for years, earning nearly unanimous critical praise.
Cosby has received the Kennedy Center Honors, the Presidential Medal of Freedom (America's highest civilian honor), the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and the Marian Anderson Award.
Tickets range between $35 to $55 (plus applicable fees) and go on sale at 10 a.m. today at the War Memorial Arena box office or Ticketmaster.com. Charge-by-phone is also available at 800-745-3000.
[b]'Dance' tour helps THON[/b]
UNIVERSITY PARK - "Lord of the Dance, created by Michael Flatley," a blend of traditional and modern Celtic music and dance, returns to Eisenhower Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 17.
The performance will help a Penn State institution this week. Between Feb. 3 and 9, $10 of each "Lord of the Dance" section-one ticket sold will be donated to the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, better known as THON.
Flatley created and launched "Lord of the Dance" in the mid-1990s. Today, it sells out arenas and theaters as the world's highest-grossing Irish dance show.
Tickets are $58.25 for a section-one (orchestra and grand tier) seat and $48.25 for a section-two (balcony) seat. The $10 donation offer does not apply to section-two tickets.
Tickets buyers who want to take advantage of the $10-per-ticket contribution for seats in the orchestra and grand tier levels must use the code word "THON" when purchasing by phone or in person. Online purchasers should use the "THON" buyer type to apply the $10 donation.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.cpa.psu.edu, by calling 863-0255 and 800-ARTS-TIX or in person at Eisenhower Auditorium, Penn State Downtown Theatre Center, HUB-Robeson Center Information Desk and Bryce Jordan Center.

Todays athletes aren't always better
A common arguement for those who believe that the boxing greats of the past would be enable to compete with their counterparts of today is that athletes have evolved beyond comparison due to modern nutrition and sports science and the like. I don't believe this is quite true though.
Yes in events that reward pure strength or pure speed, such as weightlifting and sprinting the records of the past bear no comparison to the records of today. Today's athletes are stronger and faster. But if you look at athletic events that rely on technique as well as power or speed the records do not fall as quickly, there is not such a chasm between todays records and previous records.
Jesse Owens was an all-time great Olympian. His times in the 100 metres sprint, an event based on pure speed, are laughable when compared to the top sprinters today. His world record from 1936 of 10.2 would not have seen him anywhere near qualifying for the Olympic final this year in London. But in the long jump, a technical event which rewards speed only when applied with good technique the world record Jesse Owens set in 1935 of 8.13 would actually have enabled Owens to have medalled in London. This years Olympic bronze medallist Will Claye of USA jumped 8.12 metres. Britains gold medal winner Greg Rutherford jumped 8.31, a distance that could have been bettered by long jumpers of the 1960's. In fact the long jump world record has not progressed since Mike Powell jumped 8.95 in 1991 and the Olympic record has not progressed since Bob Beamon jumped 8.90 metres in 1968. That jump from Beamon was a world record for 23 years.
It's not just the long jump. In other technical disciplines world records often go many years without being broken. In the triple jump Jonathan Edwards world record has stood for 12 years. Only 9 men have been able to better the distance of 17.89 that was first set by Brazilian Joao Carlos Oliveria 37 years ago. The high jump record has not been broken since 1993. The height jumped to win this years Olympics could have been bettered by high jumpers from the 1970's.
Boxing is a technical discipline. It is not always the quickest or the strongest that wins. It is about how you use your speed and how you use strength. If 1930's Jesse Owens is capable of beating most of todays long jumpers then I don't see why Benny Leonard would be incapable of beating todays lightweights. Or why Joe Louis would be unable to beat todays heavyweights.

Theyre not exactly stronger or faster. Lifting weights (other than very light weights) does not increase punching power or speed.
What seperates the old timers from these new p*ssyfooters is that the old timers actually came to fight. And they actually have skill, technique, veriety. Everyone uses the same style now a days and the technique is no where near as good as it was with fighters back then.
Its like their scared to punch each other. And when they do a throw a punch it doesnt even have the technique of the old fighters to do damage. All you have to do is sit back and analyze them and youll see the difference. Many techniques have been long and forgotten. Boxers are nothing what they were back then (other than a few exceptions). Boxing has been a steady decline if you watch it through out time, and its the trainers who breed fighters then those fighters become trainers and so on.

So in conclusion yeah maybe the absolute by far #1 best fighter in the world from the 30s or 40s could maybe be competitive today, 2nd best highly doubtful, 3rd best extremely doubtful, and the rest not even close.
I also think its perfectly plausible that a few of the best athletes in 1968 could still be the best today, the 30s and 40s not so much.

It's simplistic to say that boxing is strictly technical. And boxers today vary in how much they rely on athleticism vs skill. Lastly, it's a stretch to dig up an example or two supporting your claim and come to a conclusion. Football is as technical as any sport and players are better today.

Bigger, Faster, Stronger.............Dumber! Just watch the total techniques used by Sugar Ray Robinson and tell me WHO of todays boxers uses the Methods & Techniques used by him. Add in His Conditioning & Power and who matches up with his Total Commitment to Win!
Again watch the boxing science employed by Joe Louis, his form and style isn't duplicated by anyone today.
Theres boxers today who have the skills to be considered great fighters but they lack the desire and willingness to "commit" to their fights. The top level fighters earn alot of money so their attitude changes once they attain some wealth. Its a different game today and theres no need for a fighter to extend themselves. The champions today don't go to the top twenty competitors towns and box them in non-title bouts. They don't have to defend their BS Titles frequently and they don't progress their talents once they attain some success! The greatest fighters in history fought weekly and monthly and had opportunities to enhance their skills.
Just as in most sports when the athletes become entertainers the sport gets watered down by mediocrity!!!! Boxings no different! Ray.

Turnout for the Clarence school re-vote is steady but not as high as when the first budget was defeated a month ago.
More than 3,900 voters had cast their ballots as of 6 p.m., the second-highest vote total in the history of the district.
But that was still 1,500 fewer voters at that same juncture on May 21, when the original budget and its 9.8 percent tax hike was defeated amidst long lines at the polls.
And what a difference a month made in Clarence High School gymnasium, where thousands of voters will cast their votes until 9 p.m.
Long lines stretched out of the gym one month ago and officials were admittedly overwhelmed by the turnout.
But the gym this evening looked much different, resembling more of a typical Western New York school election.
No one camped out the high school gym all day, as happened last month. Few political signs appeared in the school parking lot. And many people cast their ballot without even waiting in line.
"We ordered more machines this time," said Superintendent Geoffrey Hicks, who was making no predictions about the result.
"I have no idea how it is going to turn out," he added.
After the original budget was defeated, Clarence reduced the tax levy to 3.62 percent and cut an additional 29 staff positions.
Many voters at the polls decried looming cuts to the district's arts and music programs.
Maureen Reed, 30, voted this morning accompanied by her 6-month-old daughter, Rose. A 2001 graduate of Clarence High School and music teacher in a neighboring district, Reed said she voted yes on both budgets.
"Some of the programs they cut were programs I was involved with and I'm really sad that she won't have the opportunity for that even with this new budget," she said of her young daughter.
One district resident said he voted against the revised budget and its predecessor. John Roba said while he's not opposed to a "sensible" increase in taxes he opposed the way the district cut programs for students and didn't look elsewhere for savings.
"Until they look at the big picture including teachers' salaries and everything – not only teachers' salaries but the whole program – I'm not going to vote for it," he said.
Diane McMullen, who voted in favor of the new budget, said one of her sons was enriched by the Clarence schools music program but worries about the impact of cuts on her younger son – a seventh grader.
"His vocal groups have been cut; his sports have been cut," she said.
"He's looking at a pretty wide-open schedule next year. I came out to support this one so it doesn't get worse."
Anneke Ieda said her son's class size will jump from 18 kindergartners to 25 first graders at Harris Hill Elementary in the fall as a result of cuts.
Her husband is a music teacher in the district and his workload will increase by 30 percent, she said.
"We have teachers who are teaching things now that are not in their subject area, in their specialty area," said Ieda who lamented to loss of two choir directors.
Graduating Clarence senior Sam Bonk voted yes along with his mom, Nancy.
"It's sad to see everything be cut for future students," he said.
Polls are open until 9 p.m. in the Clarence High School gymnasium.
Clarence is the largest district in the area conducting a re-vote today, but five other districts are also asking residents to go to the polls again.
Alden and Clarence in Erie County; Lewiston Porter, Niagara Wheatfield and Wilson in Niagara County; and Bemus Point in Chautauqua County are among 32 budgets across New York State that failed to gain passage May 21.
This time, all the districts are staying within the tax cap. Both Clarence and Lewiston-Porter put up budgets in May with tax levies above the cap. Under New York State's tax-cap legislation that took effect last year, districts are required to seek approval from 60 percent of voters if they want to exceed their cap. Budgets that call for increases under the tax cap need 50 percent of the vote plus one to pass.
The consequences of failing a second time would likely mean more cuts.
For Clarence, that equates to $1.5 million in cuts on top of the $1.6 million already made, a scenario some parents have called "a disaster."
School districts have two chances to pass a budget under the state tax-cap law before they must adopt a contingency budget, which cannot raise taxes a penny more than was collected in the previous year.

The design and installation of an automatic sprinkler system is a complex project involving numerous steps and considerable effort. There are college courses, books, and magazine articles dedicated to the subject and there are a large number of professional irrigation designers and installers who would be pleased to do the job for you. You can find an irrigation designers and installers in the yellow pages of your phone book. Important note: Some states require professional irrigators to be licensed and many municipalities require a permit to connect an irrigation system into your water supply. Learn more about the local rules and regulations before you proceed.
If you are set on doing the job yourself, we offer some points to think about during the design and installation process and some references that offer more complete information on the step by step design and installation process. If you are mechanically inclined do-it-yourselfer and willing to take on a challenging home improvement project, designing and installing your own automatic irrigation system can be a rewarding experience.
Drip Irrigation
Drip irrigation is the most efficient method of irrigating. While well designed and maintained sprinkler systems are around 75-85% efficient, drip systems typically are 90% efficient or higher. This means less wasted water. For this reason drip is the preferred method of irrigation in the desert regions of the United States and around the world.
Drip irrigation has other benefits which make it useful almost anywhere. It is easy to install, easy to design, can be very inexpensive, and can reduce disease problems associated with high levels of moisture on some plants.
Drip irrigation (sometimes called trickle irrigation) works by applying water slowly, directly to the soil. The high efficiency of drip irrigation results from two primary factors. The first is that the water soaks into the soil before it can evaporate or run off. The second is that the water is only applied where it is needed, (at the plant's roots) rather than sprayed everywhere. While drip systems are simple and forgiving of errors in design and installation, there are some guidelines that if followed, will make for a much better drip system.
In many cases a drip irrigation system may be the most efficient option for your landscape. Click here for information on designing a drip irrigation system.

Irrigation Installation Tools - Tools that make the job easier
The tools required to install an irrigation system are fairly basic; a shovel, hacksaw, wire cutter, a couple of wrenches, and a knife will get the job done in most cases. But like most projects, a few special tools make the work much easier and faster to perform. So here is a list of the tools commonly used by professionals.

Buffalo can create Skyway to the future
Good for Congressman Brian Higgins. Down with the Skyway! Or, how about an alternative? How about reducing the cost of demolition and the amount of rubble? How about a world-class green project? How about a public/private partnership that morphs the Skyway into a revenue-generating, tax-generating structure? That's what visionary Ran Webber sees (www.RanWebber.com). Imagine a line drawn from First Niagara Center to the Naval & Military Park. Imagine that line intersecting the Skyway. Imagine everything related to the Skyway between that line and downtown gone.
Now the magic. Imagine the remainder of the Skyway converted to a multiuse building. Imagine condos with incredible views, museums, retail stores, offices, a green observation deck, wind and solar making it power neutral. Imagine Buffalo with an iconic structure recognizable worldwide. Imagine our own Eiffel Tower if you will. Imagine the tourism. Think big.
Any Skyway replacement faces a challenge in the tens of thousands of vehicles pouring over its four lanes every day. The Buffalo River is a challenge. A four-lane swing bridge is the solution. Just as highway interchanges soar, a swing bridge could soar with pleasure craft passing underneath. It would only need to open for lake vessels, not an everyday occurrence. Were the bridge a two-level structure, the upper level could host a restaurant with spectacular views. Imagine being there when a lake vessel sails by.
It's doable. It's been vetted by local and national architectural and engineering experts. It's cost effective. It's good for tourism. It creates jobs – jobs to build it, jobs to fill it. It's good for the environment. It's good for the economy. All that and more. Webber has the vision. Do we?

Hello Holland! Back in 1847, 800 Dutch immigrants established this town, bringing with them a distinctly Netherlandish flair that has been joyously maintained. A canal winds through Molengracht Plaza, a flotilla of tulips burst into bloom during the May Tulip Festival, the Historical Village features a drawbridge and waterwheel, their beloved Tulip Time Festival showcases Dutch costumes and Dutch dancing (fun fact: the town just made the Guinness Book of World Records for the most people – 2605! — dancing in wooden clogs at one time); and the 124-foot tall Vermeer Windmill (from the 1850's) still grinds wheat into flour that's sold to Pella's bakeries and restaurants.
Students here also have their nose to the grindstone. The school district — three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school — is rated #5 academically by the Iowa IP Index. Pella High in the highly-competitive Midwest is a Blue Ribbon school with college credit classes, an articulate speech team, a harmonious music program, a yearly mathematics competition, and solid sports contenders in football, basketball, swimming, and especially cross-county. The "Runnin' Dutch" are ranked in the state's Top Six teams. Pella Christian School (PreK-8) has also been named a "School of Excellence" by the U.S. Department of Education.

A spanish word, supposedly meaning "large", bastardized by the Starbucks marketing machine to mean medium; their 16oz coffee.
I hate going into a Starbuck's for coffee. The dumbass baristas always treat me like an idiot because I confuse a "Tall, "Grande" and "Vente". Grande is spanish for large, right? "Short" is the only size that makes any sense and "Vente" is an Italian word! WTF is that?! Why can't they just call them small, medium, large and extra large anyway?

College-level Advanced Placement classes are hard to come by in a handful of Charleston County high schools, and students in those schools often struggle to pass those exams.
In six of the district's 13 high schools, fewer than five students earned passing scores on the exams last year. Most students who pass the tests attend one of three high schools; the success rates at Academic Magnet, School of the Arts and Wando are more than 75 percent.
The school district hopes to create more equity by expanding its AP offerings at high schools with three or fewer AP courses. High schools typically haven't received money dedicated for AP teachers, but the school board has committed about $900,000 to provide two AP teachers at seven schools this fall - Baptist Hill, Burke, Garrett Academy, Lincoln, Military Magnet, North Charleston, and St. John's.
"I think this is an important commitment because we have done a very credible job in the last seven years of addressing low-performing students, and we have to address the very capable students and make sure they're not being forgotten in some of our schools," said Superintendent Nancy McGinley. "That is what this is about."
Offering AP
AP classes are rigorous courses offered through the College Board. Teachers must follow College Board guidelines on curriculum and resources. Students who score a three or higher on the final exam "pass" and can earn college credit; five is the top score.
Some high schools have had a hard time offering AP classes because any additional teacher allocations go toward providing remedial instruction to students, McGinley said. If schools offer more AP classes, officials expect fewer students to transfer out of district schools.
"Many people equate AP course offerings with successful schools," said St. John's High Principal Lee Runyon. "We're certainly appreciative of the opportunity to gain some additional funding to grow our AP course offerings."
The Johns Island school had one of its nearly 300 students take and pass the AP exam last spring. Runyon said he's put more of an emphasis on dual enrollment classes, which enabled students to earn college credit through Trident Technical College. Unlike the AP exam, students earn dual enrollment credit by demonstrating competency through the duration of the course, and they don't have to pass a standardized exam.
"For students who may struggle with being great high-stakes test-takers, they would benefit from dual enrollment," Runyon said.
St. John's High has made gains during the past few years, moving from an "at risk" state rating in 2011 to "good" in 2013. Its improvement rating has been "excellent" for three years. Its students are far more prepared for AP coursework, and it's incumbent upon the school to "support the continued growth of our students," Runyon said.
The school's students can take one AP class this year, and it's being offered through a distance learning pilot out of West Ashley High.
"With this additional allocation, we can continue to address the needs of our lower level students, but at the same time, we'll now be able to address the needs of our kids who are high achievers," he said.
AP Academy at Burke
McGinley said she wants to give neighborhood schools more options so students can stay in those schools. Every high school needs those advanced classes, she said.
"What we're trying to build is some consistency of offerings so parents aren't choosing to avoid certain schools because they don't offer AP," she recently told the school board.
This isn't the first time the district has tried to boost Advanced Placement courses in high-need schools. Since 2008, the district has invested more than $1.2 million into an AP Academy at Burke High, an at-risk downtown school that enrolls mostly high-poverty students.
The change hasn't stopped the school from losing enrollment. And, of the 376 AP exams that students took, just 10 students have earned passing scores since 2009.
Principal Maurice Cannon said the courses are a worthwhile investment because students are exposed to more of the academic rigor that they will experience in college.
"Not all of our students are performing at levels of remediation," he said. "Contrary to popular opinion, Burke does have students who come with a high level of academic aptitude."
Burke High junior Xavier Curry has taken three AP courses, and he said he's glad the school will receive more AP funding this fall. The school has offered only English and social studies AP classes, but his strengths are math and science. He said he hopes the school will be able to offer AP classes in those subjects.
"You just take it to another level (in AP)," he said.
Worth investment?
Some school board members questioned the logic in the district's recommendation, and board member Elizabeth Moffly said she'd rather see schools offer dual credit courses, because that doesn't involve a standardized exam to receive credit.
"If something isn't working, you can't make it work by giving them more of it," she said.
Lou Martin, the district's associate superintendent for high schools, said students who don't pass AP classes but take the course still are exposed to more challenging work.
The three district schools that have had the most success in students' participating in and passing AP tests - Academic Magnet High, School of the Arts, and Wando High - will not receive any extra money to offer AP.
Coats, who made the suggestion that eliminated those schools from receiving the extra AP money, said the district has a finite amount of money and it has to prioritize spending. Those schools and Stall High have been taken care of, and this was a way to create equity in other schools, she said.
Board members Moffly, Tom Ducker and Todd Garrett voted against the district adding AP teachers to the seven schools.

The Unknown Patient Reports From Orlando
The Unknown Patient has been asked by many of his fellow myeloma fighters about when Revlimid (also known as Lenolidomide and CC-5013) will become available. Revlimid has been in the news recently because of successes in clinical trials for myeloma. It is said to work very well and have many fewer side effects than thalidomide. Revlimid could potentially offer options for people for whom other drugs, including thalidomide, have stopped working. It could also be an alternative for people who can't tolerate the side effects of their current therapies.
Revlimid is a "thalidomide analog," meaning that its chemical formulation is based on thalidomide, but intended to remove the parts of the thalidomide molecule that cause that drug's most serious side effects (e.g., birth defects, neuropathy, and constipation) while retaining the parts that make it effective against myeloma.
Exciting results of randomized clinical trials of Revlimid conducted in the US and in Europe/Israel were presented at the 10th International Myeloma Workshop in Sydney, Australia and updated at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology this past weekend in Orlando. These trials were stopped because the results were conclusive that new therapy being tested (Revlimid plus dexamethasone) delivered better results than the control arm (dexamethasone alone.) These results will form the basis for submission of an NDA (new drug application) to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to seek approval of Revlimid for use in myeloma.
However, for those of you thinking that this sounds like Revlimid won't be available for a long time, think again. There are a number of ways Revlimid could soon be available to those who need it.
First, the Unknown Patient spoke with a number of senior people from Celgene in Sydney and then in Orlando . They assured him that there is an "Expanded Access Program" (EAP) being put in place. The EAP protocol has been submitted to the FDA and has a 30 day turnaround time. Looking at what needs to happen if/when the FDA notifies Celegene about proceeding with the program, Celgene expects it will likely make Revlimid available on a limited basis via the EAP as early as mid-July. An EAP is a mechanism for making unapproved drugs with clear benefit available to patients who have a specific need before approval. EAP programs benefit patients by providing early access to drugs that have been shown to be safe and effective in clincical trials while the FDA is reviewing their application for approval. They are also used to gather more data on drug safety before the drug is introduced broadly into the market. Important details about this program (eligibility criteria, size of the program, firm roll out dates) remain Unknown but more information should be available soon.
Second, and more importantly, Celgene has already submitted its NDA to the FDA for use of Revlimid for treating Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS.) Revlimid had very positive results in trials for MDS and it seems to be headed for approval sometime late this year for treating this condition. In fact, there was more positive data on Revlimid for MDS presented at ASCO this past weekend. If Revlimid is approved for treating MDS, physicians then legally prescribed it for use in the US in myeloma. This is called "off label usage."
In reality, all use of thalidomide in the US today is "off label" as thalidomide has only been approved for treatment of leprosy. It has never been approved for myeloma. The application for thalidomide approval is currently being reviewed by the FDA. This past October, the FDA sent Celgene an "approvable letter" saying that the drug could be approved for myeloma if further data from a trial completed by the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group were submitted to the FDA for review. The timing of this submission or the decision on thalidomide is unclear at this point.
So, it could be that Revlimid will follow a similar path of "off label" usage if it is approved for MDS. The difference is that Revlimid could be approved for myeloma within the year following the potential MDS approval date.
Bottom line, we can be hopeful that Revlimid will become available to myeloma patients on a limited basis this summer as part of an EAP, with broad availability sometime later this year if it is approved for MDS.
The Unknown Patient is sorry he had to use all that Unknown mumbo-jumbo to explain what's up with Revlimid. He hopes this report was understandable and helpful.
This study, sponsored by Dr. Paul Richardson of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, was designed to answer a very important question in myeloma: In the era of novel drugs, is high-dose therapy (HDT) still necessary in the initial management of multiple myeloma in younger patients? In this study, the addition of HDT to conventional dose treatment (RVD) as compared to conventional-dose treatment (RVD) alone would be considered superior if it significantly prolongs progression-free survival by at least 9 months.
Revlimid from the Celgene Corporation was just approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat certain patients with a malignant blood condition called MDS.

The trend was towards *very* rapid increase. There are also many other sources of revenue (app sales, payments, ...). Android is a strategic platform for Google, and it is only a few years old. As far as I can see, you armchair CEOs have no clue whatsoever. Google can think very long term, because their revenue stream allows them to. But Android is already a success, and growing into a bigger one. Admittedly, Apple is more successful in this area, due to superb products and execution. They may continue to succeed, or they may not. Things change very rapidly in this industry. But calling Android a failure at this stage is just dumb.

I just wanted to clarify the USA only thing.There's some laws in the USA about contests and prizes must be kept in the country. It's nothing to do with shipping or anything like that. I imagine the laws are for tax reasons.They'd open the contest to the world if they didn't have to jump through a million hoops.CheersCR
