Every morning, Lisa Chisholm and her boyfriend go to work.
"Get up, eat something, get me and the dog dressed, and come out and do this," she says.
Though instead of heading to an office, they set up on the side of a busy Bend street.
"Sometimes, people just throw a penny at ya," she says. "Cuss at ya. But then you get people who have been in these shoes, and they can't afford much, but they try to help."
They've been panhandling to survive for almost two years.
"I'm at the end of my rope," she says. "I'm done."
There are an estimated 1,500 homeless people in Bend. Panhandlers are a common sight. Along Bend's main thoroughfares, you can find similar stories on street corners all across town, through the window of your car.
"Basically, people panhandle because they're desperate," OSU-Cascades Assistant Professor Christopher Wolsko says.
It's nearly impossible to know who's really in need, and what they're using the money for. Often, it's easiest to just look away.
Panhandling is legal here, as long as no traffic or privacy laws are broken, but does it pay? To find out, NewsChannel 21 reporter Katie Higgins set up shop at the corner of U.S. 97 and Robal Road, the turnout for Cascade Village Shopping Center.
In an hour, Higgins made $8 and half a turkey sandwich. She asked one woman why she gave, and she said it was because you just never know what someone's going through.
Someone who didn't offer her money said she didn't because she doesn't have enough money herself. Higgins noticed people rolling up their windows, pointing and lots of long stares, leading her to believe that many people were curious as to why she was on the street.
It's a common perception that panhandlers are like Higgins — not really in need. Wolsko says the idea that people pretend to be homeless to make money panhandling is an urban myth. He says people's relationships with panhandlers are complex.
"On the one hand, we have this desire to help our fellow human beings out, but on the other hand, people have pretty negative stereotypes about the poor, the homeless, panhandlers," he says.
That is, that they're aggressive, substance abusers, or lazy. Wolsko says Americans believe in individual responsibility — that you're responsible for your own destiny.
"People tend to often think it's a personal choice to be on the street and to beg for money."
Often, an addiction lands someone on the street. A 2006 survey by the National Coalition for the Homeless found about 26 percent of the homeless population deals with substance abuse.
Bend Police Lt. Brian Kindel says when you give, you're enabling a problem.
"It's basically giving somebody the ability to buy alcohol and drugs, and not care for themselves or their family," he says.
Bethlehem Inn Executive Director Gwenn Wysling says it's about educating people about a different way of getting by.
"It's teaching somebody how to ask for help in a different way that's going to give them what they need, be it shelter, food clothing, or somebody to talk to," she says. "We have a community that's very generous in terms of what is offered, what's available out there."
Chisholm and her boyfriend say they panhandle to keep a motel roof over their heads.
"I can't sleep outside," Chisholm says. "Not in the winter."
This is the only way they've known for the past couple years, but they want you to know...
"Not everybody's a drunk and a drug addict, because we certainly are not," she says. "We're just people that are really trying to survive until something breaks."

And on Friday he joined other well-wishers in expressing his happiness about the marriage.
"I'm very happy that I can now legitimately call him my son-in-law, this wonderful fellow who I love, and that they're very happy," Voight, 75, told ITV's Good Morning Britain. "The kids must have had a wonderful time at the wedding because they all had their things to do."
Of the wedding, he adds: "It must have been very beautiful. I'm very happy for them."
The couple are already moving on with the next step, mixing honeymoon with work as they prep for a movie on Malta in the coming weeks.
"She's working now with Brad, and I've got a couple of things to do, too," Voight said. "But as soon as we can, we'll get together – it's going to be exciting."

Dont give a fig?
Maybe you should!
Nutritionally figs are high in potassium, iron, fiber and calcium. Medicinally they can serve as a diuretic and a laxative. Historically one of the earliest foods, they were recorded on stone tablets circa 2500 B.C. and came to America in 1520. Primitive foodies used cooked figs as sweeteners and from then they evolved into jams, jellies, desserts, sauces and even appetizers. One of the most famous of cookies is the Fig Newton. How about the Figgy Pudding lauded in British song and literature and often credited to Mrs. Cratchit in the Dickens ghost tale, The Christmas Carol?
Figs arent everybodys favorites. Real aficionados like my husband Jim love the taste. His favorite treat is to eat them right off the tree. Or it would be if he ever got the chance. Alas, he met his gardening nemesis with figs. Hes had much success with scores of vegetables and flowers. But after planting two fig trees years ago, has yet to enjoy a fully ripened home fruit. If they grow at all, the squirrels and birds beat him to it.
Enter Tom and Laura Lindenmayer who are in possession of one fantastically flourishing fig tree. Tom and Jim sometimes fish together when their schedules jibe but the generous Lindenmayers always keep us on their family and friends fig distribution list and each summer invite us to help ourselves. Figs dont last long after being picked, but thats a moot point with Tom and Jim as both like them fresh.
There are many ways and dozens of recipes for saving figs for later. My maternal Grandma Clare used to spend her summers putting up fruits and vegetables. In her later years she still did a bit of that and I remember a cross stitched emblem in her kitchen which she referred to as the farmers wifes Ninth Beatitude: Blessed are they who Can for they shall be Preserved.
I never had that inclination, but do like to use fresh figs in recipes. One of the fastest is to just slice them over vanilla ice cream. To get the traditional flavor, sprinkle a bit of brown sugar and cinnamon over the ice cream first. But to me the ultimate fig dish is with baked brie, which can be an appetizer, or a full meal with crusty bread and a salad. If Eve had had this recipe, things might have turned out differently. In any case, once youve tasted this, youll think youre dining in the culinary Garden of Eden.
½ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
6 fresh figs, steamed and quartered
1 (14-oz) round, 4 ¼ inch diameter brie cheese
½ cup toasted almonds (optional)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Heat brown sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat until sugar is completely dissolved. Add figs and vanilla and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in almonds (if used) and vanilla. Place brie wheel in a baking dish (round, preferably) and pour fig mixture over the top.
Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until softened but not melted. Best served with water crackers.
If this doesnt persuade you to give a fig nothing will.

Coke Calls a Doc to Put Fizz in Sales, but Is He the Real Thing?
A 19th-Century Pharmacist's Image Adds Mystery; 2.5 Miles of Memorabilia
Doc Pemberton, the 19th-century pharmacist who invented Coca-Cola KO 0.09 % by mixing naturally caffeinated kola nuts with coca leaves, which naturally contain cocaine, is selling Coca-Cola again.
Coke won't comment on whether its original soft drink ever contained cocaine, except to say cocaine has never been an added ingredient in the product. Until lately, it hasn't had much to say about Doc Pemberton either. Now, though, it's leaning on his legend to put some fizz back into its flagging U.S. cola sales.
Doc Pemberton—whose real name was John Stith Pemberton—is regularly featured on an electronic billboard for all to see as they enter downtown Atlanta. His likeness often greets visitors to the company's website and Facebook FB -0.12 % page. Pictures are posted online of him wrestling with an alligator and walking on the moon. He has more than 100,000 followers on Twitter.
Doc makes an irreverent new pitchman compared to Coke's traditional mainstays—polar bears and Santa—conjuring up a mysterious time in Coke's past, which is perhaps what the global marketer needs right now.
But here's a mystery the company hadn't anticipated: What did Doc Pemberton look like, and is Coke's image of a handsome, robustly bearded Doc the real thing?
A well driller in Maine is betting it isn't. He recently plunked down $17,825 at an auction to buy an 1888 photograph the auction house claimed to be the only original of Doc. It depicts a slight man who is balding and has only a wisp of a beard—and therefore looks decidedly different from Coke's fellow, with a thick beard and a full head of hair.
The photo's previous owner alleges that Coke's version of Doc is actually another Pemberton: John Clifford Pemberton, an unpopular Confederate general.
Phil Mooney, Coke's archivist, insists it has the right Doc—culled from a photo shared by Doc's relatives. "It's pulling at straws,'' says Mr. Mooney of the claims that Coke has the wrong image, and that the one it has is of a Confederate general.
Coke often stirs mystery to sell soda, making a big deal last year of moving Doc's "secret formula'' for cola from a bank safe to a new vault at its giant World of Coca-Cola museum in Atlanta. But the photo flap also suggests it can be tough for Coke, despite owning one of the world's most-famous brands, to nail down its own history.
In the basement archives at the company's headquarters, hundreds of thousands of pop-culture artifacts—lining more than 2.5 miles of shelves—trace more than a century of company history.
In all of that, however, Coke has only two copies of photographs it believes are of Doc. One, which it uses for its ads, shows him from the chest up with a bushy beard. In the other, he is clean-shaven and seated with his wife and son.
Doc Pemberton was born in Georgia in 1831 and wounded in 1865 as a lieutenant colonel in the Civil War, according to historians. As much ambitious entrepreneur as pharmacist, he developed the state's first agricultural chemical testing labs and invented several tonics, including French Wine of Coca, a copy of Vin Mariani, a cocaine-laced cordial developed in France.
Doc died from a stomach illness in 1888. By then he had sold his stakes in the company, was impoverished and rumored to be addicted to morphine. Asa Candler, who secured control of Coke from Doc Pemberton and others, ordered many of the company's earliest records burned in 1910 amid ownership disputes, Mark Pendergrast wrote in his book, "For God, Country and Coca-Cola.''
Coke says it has few primary documents when it comes to the inventor, whose last direct descendant died in 1894.
In the 1888 photo sold last month by Fairfield, Maine-based James D. Julia Auctioneers, Mr. Candler, who secured control of Coke in 1888, is standing in front of his Atlanta business. Others are present, including a man in the doorway, next to the signs "Pemberton's French Wine Coca'' and "Lemon Orange E,'' another drink developed by Doc.
Richard Lipack, the antique dealer who put the photo up for auction, says the man in the doorway is a dead ringer for Doc—or at least the Doc who is the subject of a painting commissioned by Coke that now hangs on the second floor of its headquarters. By contrast, says Mr. Lipack, the image Coke uses in its marketing bears a striking resemblance to Lieutenant-General Pemberton, pilloried across the South for surrendering Vicksburg, Miss., in 1863.
Mr. Mooney, Coke's archivist, says the other men in the photo could just as easily be Mr. Candler's "bible class, for all I know.'' He notes an ailing Doc spent much of 1888 in bed and definitely wouldn't have been present if the photo was taken after August, by which time he was already dead.
He says Coke refrained from using the image of Doc in the 1950s painting for marketing purposes after relatives suggested the likeness was off.
Doc has few descendants to weigh in on his looks. In a 1955 letter to Coke, the now-deceased Ernestine Sherman, a granddaughter of the sister of Doc Pemberton's wife, relayed that her mother, who knew Doc personally, reckoned the 1950s portrait commissioned by Coke was "a fairly good likeness,'' though his beard wasn't so "sparse and straggly.''
David Sherman, Mrs. Sherman's son, believes the image Coke is using in its marketing is the right one. The original photo of Doc on which the company's marketing is based is in a family storage box in an undisclosed location in Georgia, he said.
Doc was intriguing enough to catch the eye of Delwin Philbrick, the well driller who bought the photo last month after seeing it on an auction flier. The 52-year-old Maine resident hopes to recoup his investment by selling prints of the original photo to other collectors.
"Anything from Coca-Cola, you're pretty sure the value's going to go up,'' says Mr. Philbrick, who also raises cows and estimates he owns 40 pieces of Coke memorabilia, mostly advertising signs, stacked along his barn.
Now Coke is hoping Doc Pemberton will attract the attention of many more Coke fans—enough to help it rejuvenate Coca-Cola in the U.S., where volumes of its flagship cola recently sank to two-decade lows. Doc has tweeted more than 6,000 times, including one last month that quipped, "It seems like only yesterday I was writing telegraphs to all of you."
He hasn't waded into the debate about what the real Doc looked like. In a recent tweet, though, he claims to have been the youngest-ever winner of "The Atlanta Beard & Moustache Competition'' at age 12.
Corrections & Amplifications
Coke won't comment on whether its original soft drink ever contained cocaine, except to say cocaine has never been an added ingredient in the product. The original version of this article stated that Coke wouldn't comment on whether its original soft drink ever contained cocaine. Also, the 1888 image of the business of a onetime owner of Coca-Cola should have been attributed to Richard Lipack, the antique dealer who put the image up for auction. An earlier version of this article incorrectly attributed it to the image's current owner, Delwin Philbrick.

Google grooves
First the bad news: despite having a huge installed user base, when it comes to music making apps, Android remains very much the poor relation to Apple's iOS.
This isn't because developers don't want to release apps for Google's mobile OS, rather that various problems - notably high audio latency and the fact that there are numerous devices and different versions of Android in circulation - have prevented them from doing so.
However, all is not lost. Sonoma Wire Works recently announced that it's developed a low latency audio solution for Android (though time will tell if device manufacturers will implement this into their products) and more companies seem to be taking a second look at the platform.
What's more, there are Android music making apps on the market right now: what follows is a guide to some of the best ones available (they're listed in no particular order, by the way).
If you're got other favourites that you think deserve to be on this list, let us know about them.
NEXT: FL Studio Mobile for Android
Image-Line FL Studio Mobile
In terms of look and feel this is very similar to the iOS version of FL Studio Mobile, which itself is derived from Xewton's Music Studio. It's a self-contained music production platform that enables you to create projects using a selection of built-in sounds (there's no audio recording option).
These lean towards the electronic and, once you've got used to the way the sequencer works, getting a song together is relatively straightforward. the workflow in general is smooth, and the interface looks pretty slick.
Wizdom Music MorphWiz-Play
This slimmed-down version of iOS app MorphWiz gives you 30 Jordan Rudess-designed presets, plus an easy-to-play interface that means that you'll be making great sounds on your Android device in no time.
Des Pudels Kern GmbH Audiotool Sketch
This Android version of online music workstation audiotool enables you to make music using a synth and drum machines, all of which are inspired by classic gear from Roland.
The downside is that it's primarily designed for tablets - it only works with a few phones.
Single Cell Software Caustic 2
Long regarded as one of the best Android music making apps on the market, Caustic is a mini studio that provides you with virtual analogue, PCM and bassline synths, a sampling drum machine, effects, a mixer and a sequencer. Depending on your device, you can even plug in a USB MIDI controller.
Buying the unlock key enables you to - among other things - save and export your songs.
Mikrosonic SPC - Music Sketchpad 2
A pad-based music making environment that enables you to sample, sequence and program beats on your Android device.
You can use the built-in sounds and loops or import/record your own, and the app's design means that it's great for jamming ideas around in real-time.
Mikrosonic RD3 - Groovebox
This is the sister app to SPC - Music Sketchpad, which can import RD3 loops. It features a 303-style synth and drum machine that emulates several classic hardware models (including the 909, 808 and 606). You can create tracks via the real-time step sequencer.
If you've got a more powerful phone check out RD3 HD which is available for £3.99.
Oliver Wittchow nanoloop
Purists will insist that it has to be used on the Game Boy, but nanoloop is also available to Android users.
It's a step sequencer-based app that lets you work with six channels, each of which can be either a synth or a sampler. You can use up to eight patterns and two instruments per channel. You can load samples from an SD card, re-sample and make use of the FM/noise/PWM synth.
Alexander Zolotov SunVox
With its old-school tracker interface SunVox might not look particularly enticing, but it's certainly powerful.
Its modular design enables you to work with a variety of sound generators, and there are also effects and a sampling option. If you want to go a little deeper with your Android music making, look no further.
Christopher Souvey Musical Pro
With a metronome, pitch pipe, virtual piano, keyboards, drums and a tuner thrown in for good measure, Musical Pro has a little bit of everything.
It's not really a focused offering, then, but if want a fun 'all-rounder' virtual instrument app then it's definitely worth considering.
Samalyse TapeMachine Recorder
A simple audio recording app with basic editing features is a must for capturing interesting sounds or making quick recordings.
TapeMachine fits the bill perfectly. Cheap, cheerful and effective, it's ideal for recording and editing samples when you're out and about.
Niko Twenty ReLoop Loop Sequencer
If you want to sequence loops when you're on the go, here's a solution. Additional loops can be downloaded for free in ReLoop Paks, and you can also import your own.
Each track offers three insert effects; mixer and effect levels can be automated; loops can be sliced and rearranged; and one-shot samples can be pitched.
Pedrocorp Robotic Guitarist
Turn your Android device into a guitar. You can choose to strum it without having to know where you fingers should go, or make the app sound like a variety of other instruments.
Robotic Guitarist can also be used as a chord guide, tuner and metronome.
Adam Smith Ethereal Dialpad
This cool abstract synth allows you to pick from Flat, Draw, Swarm or Grid modes and draw patterns on the screen to play sounds.
Synth options include pitch quantisation along with basic delay and flanger effects. Plug-ins enable you to expand the app with cool features such as gravitational sensor control.
Chris Wolfe Jasuto
Jasuto enables you to build synths from a set of components called Nodes - connect them together in any way you like.
Jasuto is a fantastic modular mobile environment - just be aware that you'll need a powerful Android phone in order to run it.
Peter Eastman Etherophone
It's an unwritten rule of smartphones that every touchscreen deserves a Theremin app, and Etherophone is our pick of the bunch for Android.
Adjustable range and register settings, basic envelope options and cool sliders for adjusting the harmonic content of the sound make this unassuming free app a must-have.
Niko Twenty Electrum Drum Machine/Sampler
This simple drum machine app is based on the classic step sequencer format. With good built-in sounds and free downloadable packs based on classics such as the Roland 808 and 909, Electrum has some great sonic potential.
We highly recommend checking out the excellent sample packs at Synthdrums.com. You can also record sounds into the app and make use of a variety of other processing features.

A picture taken of yourself that is planned to be uploaded to Facebook, Myspace or any other sort of social networking website. You can usually see the person's arm holding out the camera in which case you can clearly tell that this person does not have any friends to take pictures of them so they resort to Myspace to find internet friends and post pictures of themselves, taken by themselves. A selfie is usually accompanied by a kissy face or the individual looking in a direction that is not towards the camera.

The taking of a picture of yourself and posting it on Facebook because you have extremely low self-esteem and you need people to comment to tell you how hot or pretty you look. In reality you just look desperate for attention. And no matter how attractive you might be, you still look pathetic. See also duck face/kissy face makes you look retarded.

The future looks bright for the Ashley Ridge girls' tennis team.
The Swamp Foxes entered play last week hoping to take the lead in the race for the Region 8-AAAA championship but lost to Bluffton. Due to a prior win over the Bobcats, however, Ashley Ridge could still claim a share of the title.
"There was really only one difference in our two matches with Bluffton," Ashley Ridge coach Andy Steingold said. "Our No. 2 player won the first time in three sets and lost the second time in three sets. But if our prior matches are any indication, we can still finish in a tie for first."
Ashley Ridge improved to 10-3 with a 6-1 mark in region play Friday with a win over Fort Dorchester and only has three region matches remaining. If both the Swamp Foxes and Bluffton, which also only has one region loss, win out they will share the region crown.
That would mean both teams would open the playoffs with a home match. Ashley Ridge has won its first-round playoff match each of the last three years, but Steingold is hoping this year his team can advance beyond the second round.
"We have a solid team all the way down," the coach said. "Bluffton is very strong and we've played them dead even so I think we have as good a chance as anyone. I'm optimistic. We are as strong as we've ever been and some of the other teams lost talent to graduation."
Lauren Smith and Julia Lawton are the only seniors in the starting lineup for the Swamp Foxes this season so the success the team is having should not only carry into the playoffs but also carry into the next few seasons.
The No. 2 doubles team Ashley Ridge typically puts on the court is comprised of seventh-graders Natalie Blatner and Arianna Brim.
"They play a lot of junior tennis so while they are tiny, their strokes are tall," Steingold said of the two Gregg Middle School students. "They have great top spin; they volley well; and they are a strong team."
Other players who are seeing a lot of action for the Swamp Foxes this season include Bella Lawrence, Savanna Lawrence, Ali Blackmon, Megan Illsley and Maddie Kratzert.
This week, Ashley Ridge has matches against Beaufort and Summerville. Next Tuesday, the Swamp Foxes will close out their regular season with a match against Colleton County.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Khalil Mack became UB's all-time leader in career tackles behind the line of scrimmage Saturday during a season-best effort in a 29-19 victory over UMass at Gillette Stadium.
Mack, a junior linebacker, set a career high with 15 tackles, including 3.5 tackles for losses and 2.5 sacks. He now has 53.5 career tackles behind the line, bettering the record of 50.5 set by Vince Canosa from 1992-95.
"It feels great that it was in a victory," Mack said. "My dad for the past three weeks told me, you got to get that this week. My teammates helped me and it's great to get that."
The Bulls played a lot of coverage in the first half, affording quarterback Mike Wegzyn the time to complete 11-of-20 throws for 102 yards. They came after the freshman hard in the second half, when he was 9 of 20, threw two interceptions and was sacked six times.
"At the start he had too much time," Mack said. "It was great to get some pressure. We changed the philosophy. We had to get some pressure. He had too much time."
Mack is the first Bull with 15 tackles in a game since Davonte Shannon had 15 at Miami in 2009.
Mack was in on consecutive stops midway through the first quarter as the Bulls turned away the Minutemen on a pair of goal-to-go attempts from the 1. Mack and Jake Stockman teamed up to halt 6-foot-3, 215-pound running back Michael Cox on third down and Isaac Baugh assisted Mack to thwart Cox on fourth down. It all came about because of Derek Brim's tackle on Jordan Broadnax following a 9-yard gain to the UB 1.
Kyndal Minniefield's 33-yard return of Adam Redden's blocked punt was UB's first TD off a punt block since Sept. 9, 2006 at Bowling Green. Jared Patterson scored the touchdown that day off a Sherrod Lott block.
It also qualifies, statistically speaking, as UB's first punt return for a touchdown since Andre Forde went 83 yards against Lehigh on Aug. 29, 2002. Minniefield's jaunt comes under the heading of a return since the ball carried past the line of scrimmage after Redden made contact.
"Our plan was to go after them and that's what we did," Redden said. "Once I saw there were three guys back there [blocking] and they were spread out I just told myself to run as fast as I can and hopefully I'd get something. And I got a blocked punt."
The ball carried straight to Minniefield.
"Usually we don't pick it up if it passes the line but I saw nobody was running to it so I just thought I'd jump on the opportunity," he said. "It was kind of surreal at first.
Punting has been one of the UMass strengths throughout the season. In fact, punter Colter Johnson responded to the block by drilling his next attempt 61 yards. It was downed at the UB 4.
The Bulls may have caught a break with 9:10 remaining. Cordero Dixon muffed a punt deep in UB territory with the ball going over the end zone sideline during the ensuing scramble. It was ruled Dixon never had possession, with the play resulting in a touchback. Replays seemed to indicate that Dixon not only had possession but made a "football move" before he was separated from the ball. Officials reviewed the play but stood by their call.
UB's captains for the game were defensive end Colby Way, linebacker Lee Skinner, center Trevor Sales and right tackle Gokhan Ozkan. ... UB opened the game with an end-around hand-off to Natey Adjei, a true freshman from Mississauga, Ont. The play picked up 2 yards. It was the first time Adjei has touched the ball this season.

Spring allergy seasons continue to start earlier each year (it was February in 2012), and pollen counts continue to go up. It's not a fluke; scientists say the effects of climate change are making allergy seasons worse. Research presented at the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology in November 2012 suggests that by 2040, pollen counts are expected to double.
"I do think that the allergy seasons seem to be longer. When winter is shorter and less severe, it means there will be pollens and molds present for a longer period of time," says Dr. Stacey Gray, an allergy expert at the Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary.
The offenders
Grass, weeds and trees release microscopic pollen into the air each spring, summer and fall. Inhaling pollen can trigger a reaction of the immune system. It's known as hay fever. Symptoms vary, but commonly include a runny nose, sneezing, itching and burning or watery eyes. If you have asthma or chronic obstructive lung disease, pollen can increase your risk for flare-ups.
Other floating pollutants in the air can cause allergic reactions, as well, such as mold spores and dust mite droppings, although mites aren't a seasonal problem, and mold can be a year-round problem in warm climates.
You can find out what you are allergic to by having allergy testing. This is done in a doctor's office, using either a blood test or a skin test. The skin test involves pricking the surface of the skin and exposing it to allergens. Redness and swelling at a test spot on the skin indicates an allergic reaction.
The medical fix
Once you know which allergen you're dealing with, you can develop a treatment strategy with your doctor. This usually involves medications.
Antihistamines counteract a protein called histamine, which is released by tissue cells deep inside the skin during an allergic reaction. Over-the-counter (OTC) examples are chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton) and diphenhydramine (Benadryl).
"Antihistamines like Benadryl are an old standby, but there are several newer nonprescription medications that work well without causing drowsiness, which is one of the main side effects of Benadryl," says Gray. These include fexofenadine (Allegra), loratidine (Claritin) and cetirizine (Zyrtec). Cetirizine can sometimes still cause some drowsiness for some patients. By prescription, there are now topical nasal antihistamine sprays – azelastine (Astelin) and olopatadine (Patanase) – which can help with sneezing and runny nose.
Corticosteroid nasal sprays are steroids similar to hormones your adrenal glands produce. They reduce inflammation and help reduce nasal congestion, runny nose and nasal itching. These are available by prescription, such as mometasone furoate (Nasonex) and fluticasone propionate (Flonase), and can be used long term.
Nonsteroidal nasal sprays that contain cromolyn sodium (NasalCrom) are available OTC. These target the root cause of symptoms by keeping allergens from reaching cells that release histamine. They can be used long term. However, Gray says the sprays are often not quite as effective as nasal steroid sprays.
Since allergy seasons appear to be worsening, Gray suggests starting medications early, before the allergy season starts.
"For instance, start using a nasal steroid spray a few weeks before the spring allergies begin," she says.
Other strategies
Fighting allergies with medicine alone may not be enough, says Gray. She recommends minimizing allergens in the house and in the work environment.
"Make sure the air conditioning and heating filters and vents are all clean," she stresses.
During peak pollen season, close your windows and consider wearing a mask for outdoor yard duties. Better yet, avoid going outside when pollen levels are highest. Gray also recommends using nasal saline irrigations.
"They're especially helpful to clean the nose after an exposure to an allergen like working in the yard," she says.
Remember, too, that certain irritants in the environment can make allergy symptoms worse, like exposure to cigarette smoke and pollution. Gray suggests avoiding such exposure if possible.

Windows 8 and Windows are not the same platform. This module will cover how they are different by going over the UI and XAML, Platform specific features and reviewing the data model and supporting code.
Full course outline:
Oops, something didn't work.
We need WinJS for WP8!
no we don't
Find the best resources to learn Microsoft technologies at Kgtricks Learn How to Make Windows Phone Applications and Earn Money?
It is good but where is the link for the code sample?
@chanmm: The links for all the resources in this course are at this bitly bundle: http://bit.ly/BuildForBoth
how can we get this presentation I need the .ppt can we get it
"Windows 8 and Windows are not the same platform"...? Windows Phone 8?
Why, as you said, did Microsoft dump .NET? I am told that if the apps don't get smoking and appearing, Windows 8 Phone is a bigger failure than any of the super-failures Microsoft has had in other phones?
Why go to new APIs and us to lose synergy of the primitives these developers have and make sure they do not keep the one conceptual synergy that justified me buying a Windows Phone 8 so I could develop for it. Why do you get so excited to say that Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 are NOT AT ALL the same things?????
Gee whiz it is hard to stay pro-Microsoft. What in the world you guys thinking? I don't get it?
Well, good luck finding developers that are willing to learn a new platform x 2. Tablets & Phones should run on the same platform, like Android and iOS. Let us know when you get there.
Mr Riga,
I saw your Video Series about Building Apps for Both Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 and love it
On the other hand, and sorry to bother you but I was looking all the code of them in http://bit.ly/BuildForBoth and I could not find them, for it, Could you help me to get them?
Thanks for your time

Super awesome forkgaurds
Acerbis Fork Cover Set

Perfect color match love these aftermarket fork guards
Perfect replacement for my worn out original ones
Holes were off center by 1/16. Had to drill bigger to fit
equal to or better then OEM. Parts used on the OEM are interchangable with these Acerbis parts, great craftsmanship!
These red fork guards make my whole bike look better and fit perfectly. Can't ask for more than that
I bought these fork guards and the holes were just a bit off...had a hard time with 2 on each side..but got them installed..plastic quality is good. I may try another brand next time.
Better than stock! Bought for CRF250R and they look great! The white looks better then the stock see-thru white, and they fit just like stock.
Acerbis is the only plastic I use on my bikes because I know I can trust them to hold up to my riding. They have great colors including the new "flow" line.
Bought the White fork guards for my 2009 CRF450R and they have held up for 2 riding seasons and have not "yellowed" like the factory ones do, they are white all the way through and clean easy.
Look good on my 98 CR125
. Only note would be that the white color option is WHITE and not the OEM clearish white that comes stock on CRFs
I ordered these for my 2003 KX125.
The part tag said it fit '94-'03, which doesn't make much intuitive sense to me.
The bolt holes were very misaligned.
Look good and fit as well as OE.
I run Acerbis plastics on all our bikes. The fit is perfect and the price is right. YZ 125, YZ 85 parts all look and fit just right.
The mounting holes didn't match exactly. Had to use a dremel to make it fit for the last screw which was a pain in the a$ $. Other than that they are perfect. No other complaints. Make sure to buy some graphics to stick on it.
The mounting holes did not line up. When I received these fork guards, I stuck new graphics on them. Bummer. When I went to install them, thats when I found out that the bolt holes did not line up very well. I didn't send them back because of the brand new graphics on. I had to enlarge the holes and pull them out of shape to fit. Bike is a 2008 KX250F.
Acerbis KTM fork covers are a perfect match to OEM covers. Nice satin finish.
u only get the 2 plastics and 2 stickers no bolts
acerbis black and yellow good quality stickers, i did not use the stickers i dont like yellow on my green and black kx
I pieced together a plastics kit for my 2002 cr250, i had to use different brands of plastic, the ufo white rear fender doesnt match the acerbis side plates white and the acerbis fork guard white doesnt match the cycra disc guard white. hard to notice in the sun but under the Fluorescent light in the garage you can really tell.

The new Bonefish Grill announced last month on International Boulevard in North Charleston is part of the larger International Plaza development planned along the new road built across from Tanger Outlet Boulevard.
The 2.7-acre project, bounded by International Boulevard, Emmett I. Davis Jr. Avenue and Firestone Road will include the Tampa-based Bonefish Grill, a 5,000-square-foot retail site yet to be developed and a proposed medical office building.
Bonefish Grill, tentatively set to open in July, is under construction on the corner of International Boulevard and Emmett Davis Avenue.
Lee & Associates is working to land a retailer or restaurant for the parcel fronting International Boulevard and is in lease negotiations for the proposed medical office building, according to Miles Barkley of the real estate firm. Construction could start within 12 months on the medical building.

USDA officials stress importance of completing
end-of-year surveys
Officials with the U.S. Department of Agriculture are reminding farmers and ranchers of the importance of responding to National Agriculture Statistics Service surveys.
"NASS's end-of-year surveys are critical for USDA to administer farm disaster and insurance programs, which are as important as ever with recent extreme weather conditions," USDA officials wrote in news release. "And this is a great asset for farmers who can in turn use this information to make sound decisions for their businesses."
Responses to this survey will also be included in the County Agricultural Production Survey data and used in calculating county yields.
The ag statistics service is surveying more than 73,000 farmers and ranchers.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly reported mixed results today in a pair of joint diabetes drug development efforts, pulling back from development of a basal insulin analog comprising one of four drugs in their research alliance, but promising to continue developing the other three—one of which has delivered promising topline results for four completed Phase III clinical trials.
BI opted to terminate their joint development effort for Lilly's LY2605541 "given independent strategic portfolio considerations," the companies said in a statement, with Lilly taking back sole worldwide development and commercialization rights.
Lilly made clear it would waste no time resuming solo development of LY2605541, saying that in addition to the five ongoing IMAGINE clinical trials, it would proceed with Phase III clinical trials previously planned for the basal insulin analog. If those trials for LY2605541 are successful, Lilly said, it could submit the drug candidate to regulators for approval as early as 2014, as previously announced.
In addition to supporting regulatory submissions, the Phase III studies will be used for evaluating safety, efficacy, and differentiation of LY2605541.
"We're encouraged by the preclinical, Phase I and II data we've seen for our novel basal insulin," Gwen Krivi, Ph.D, vp, diabetes product development with Lilly Diabetes, said in a statement.
Ulrich Drees, BI's corporate senior vp, international project management, said in the same statement that his company and Lilly remained committed to the three other drug candidates in their diabetes research alliance—the insulin glargine product LY2963016; Trajenta® (linagliptin); and empagliflozin.
For empagliflozin—a sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor being studied for treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes—BI and Lilly trumpeted topline Phase III results showing that once-daily 10 and 25 mg dosages of the drug candidate met its primary efficacy endpoint, namely significant change in HbA1c from baseline compared to placebo.
"Boehringer Ingelheim and Lilly are very encouraged by the efficacy and safety results for empagliflozin," said Klaus Dugi, M.D., BI's corporate senior vp, medicine. Similarly, Enrique Conterno, president of Lilly Diabetes, said in a statement: "We are pleased with these results."
The trials were pivotal studies for empagliflozin completed in 2012. BI and Lilly said they anticipate filing for regulatory review in the U.S., Europe, and Japan this year. Also in 2013 and in 2014, BI and Lilly said, they plan to present detailed data disclosures for many of these studies at scientific medical meetings and publications.
In addition, empagliflozin will also be studied in a Phase III program consisting of eight multinational clinical trials—including a large cardiovascular outcome trial—set to enroll more than 14,500 patients.
BI and Lilly launched their diabetes drug alliance in January 2011.

Folly Beach — From long-lost high school rings to World War II mortar shells, treasures of all sorts have been found at area beaches over the years.
But the container that washed ashore on Sunday is probably one of the most unusual of all.
Around noon, first-year Charleston County lifeguard Ryan Laban, 16, was sitting in the last lifeguard chair on the washout side of the pier. Two teenagers brought him a sealed, brown plastic box about the size of a shoe box, and weighing around 5 pounds, that they had found in the surf.
A white sticker on the outside made it clear what — or rather, who — was inside: the remains of Lee Jackson Thompson, who was cremated at a Roanoke, Va., funeral home on June 2, 2010.
"I couldn't open it, but I didn't really want to try because I was afraid of what was in it," Laban said. "I could tell that it had been in the water because it was kind of leaking."
Laban gave the box to his supervisor, who gave it to his supervisor, and it eventually wound up in the office at the pier, where employees tried to contact the funeral home.
"It was very unusual, so we really didn't know what to do with it," said Emily Jackson, operations manager with the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission.
With the help of David Williams, funeral director at Lotz Funeral Homes in Roanoke, the remains will once again be reunited with the family.
Williams said Wednesday it sounds as if Thompson's ashes are still in the box. Remains are typically returned to families in a plastic box or in a plastic bag inside a cardboard box, he said.
"I can't tell you how many families say they are going to take Mom to the beach or Dad to the beach," he said. "Folks have these ideas and thoughts that cremated remains are like fireplace ashes, and they are not. They are not soft and they don't billow away. They are gritty, sandy, heavy. They have substance to them."
Sometimes, he said, families can't or don't know how to open the box and just toss the entire thing overboard.
"That's probably what happened here, too," he said.
Williams did not work for Lotz in 2010 but said records show the man, 48, died on May 28, 2010. A sister is listed as his next-of-kin.
Williams contacted the woman, who asked that her name not be used. She told him she plans to get the remains back.
"She was kind of laughing about it but said she was still in shock," Williams said. "She sounded like a responsible person and she'll see that the right thing is done. Mr. Thompson will finally be able to rest in peace somewhere."

Ben Agosto is the classiest guy.
What a great event. Everybody skated with so much heart and so much joy. I was rooting for Tanith ans Ben but Meryl and Charlie deserved to win. The lif where she stands on his leg did not look quite as easy as I have seen them do it, actually I wish they would lose it. But other than that they skated the best ever this season. So did Tanith ans Ben. They made a LOT of changes to that program since the GP. They look faster, more confident, and seem to have harder lifts. I would like nothing more than for them to win in Vancouver but I fear they will lose to thier injured, slow, training mates.
Anyway, Emily and Evan were a joy to watch. Interesting music choice that felt more like an exhibition but I just love watching them. They have the best lines of any dancers out there and are developing some nice chemistry. So happy they made the team.
Will Navarro/Bommentre split up?
No, but I expect that they will retire-however, they would like to skate professionally. However, there are only a limited number of professional opportunities out there.
I wonder if N/B could get picked up by small ice shows. I don't know if they'd want this or not. I hate that they will just stop skating entirely, but I guess that's what happens with everyone eventually.
Has the dance US Olympic team been made official yet?
Yes, the Olympic dance team is officially Davis/White, Belbin/Agosto, and Samuelson/Bates.
I will miss B/A when they retire. They have both represented the US in a very positive way these past years and they have both been a credit to our sport.
I know they will be touring with SOI after the Olympics but I don't see B/A making pro skating their career choices.
I am so thoroughly disappointed that Navarro and Bommentre weren't given an assignment at 4CC's or Worlds - at the very least. Their free dance this season is just spectacular and hasn't even reached its true potential yet! I sincerely hope they go on to explore whatever professional skating opportunities there are out there. Who knows? If a huge crop of skaters turn pro following this season, the networks and event organizers might think it viable to revive a few of the professional competitions missing from the skating world in the past few years. That would be my dream come true!
I hope we get to see N/B perform that FD one last time before the season is over.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. - The Laker boys knew they'd have to bring their "A" game into Tuesday's home battle against the undefeated defending state champions.
They did, and Sparks still left with a 4-1 victory to remain unbeaten on the year, at 20-0.
"Yes, indeed, Sparks is a very solid and talented team. I think they are the best team in all the divisions, including Division I right now," said longtime North Tahoe head coach Beto Alcaraz, who knows a thing or two about talented teams, as his Lakers own six state championships.
The Laker girls, meanwhile, owners of five state titles, pounced on the Railroaders for three first-half goals and then held on for a 3-2 victory.
The Railroaders quickly discovered that their hosts were not about to roll over for them.
In a chilly contest from the start, the Lakers hustled all over the field, defending with tenacity and disrupting Sparks' skilled possession game while linking together passes of their own and threatening to score on several occasions.
"This is a team that will counter on you!" Sparks head coach Frank Avilla hollered at his players in the opening minutes.
But it was the Railroaders who countered on the Lakers in the fifth minute to record the first goal of the game, as Vicente Cervantes gathered a dish-off from Hector Hernandez and blasted a ball from 25 yards out past goalie Omar Vargas.
Sparks added to its lead in the 18th minute when Ruben Pacheco crossed a ball to Hernandez, and Hernandez beat a charging Vargas to the pass to double the score.
The Lakers never relented. Shortly after the second goal, senior Trevor Semmens nearly cut into the lead off a through ball from Danny Garcia, but his sliding hit sailed wide left of the goal.
"We were moving the ball well and passing well," Alcaraz said, complimenting his team for both its offensive and defensive play. "For the most part we were paying attention, marking the opponent. Once in a while we would lose the mark, but in general we played a heck of a game."
The Railroaders struck again with a fortunate free kick called just outside the 18-yard box, which Kevin Partida bent deftly around the North Tahoe wall and into the lower right corner of the goal for a 3-0 lead.
North Tahoe finally got on the board 22 minutes into the second half with a goal off the foot of Francisco Medina, adjusting the score to 3-1. But Sparks answered right back about a minute later when Hernandez scored off an assist from Pacheco.
"I hope we continue to play this way," Alcaraz said. "I truly believe our boys are convinced of what are they capable of. I'm very fortunate to be able to coach this very talented group of boys. They have come a long way compared to last year. I see a lot of improvement on all the players, technically, mentally and physically."
The Lakers, who fell to 0-5-1 in the Mount Rose League, played a crucial league game at Whittell on Thursday (which ended after deadline). The Lakers are scheduled to play a nonleague game at Douglas on Monday and play at Truckee on Thursday, Oct. 18, at 4 p.m.
The North Tahoe girls set the tone early with three first-half goals.
The first one came almost immediately, as senior Elizabeth Buhler knocked in a shot unassisted in the first minute of the game.
Bozhie Pokorny extended the lead to 2-0 in the 14th minute off an assist from Francesca English, and Emily Pieper pushed it to 3-0 with an impressive goal in the 25th minute.
After receiving a pass from Audrey Johnson, Pieper cut to the center of the field past two defenders and sent a rocket shot into the lower right corner of the goal from 20 yards out. "I was proud of it," Pieper said.
The Lakers' first half would have been nearly flawless, but in the final seconds before the midway point, the Railroaders' Andrea Gumina was awarded a penalty kick on a play contended aggressively by North Tahoe goalie Angela Wood. Gumina converted to cut the lead to 3-1.
"The girls played really well in the first half, maybe the best we've played all year," said North Tahoe head coach Jon Rockwood. "They showed hustle, desire and passion, and all our goals were earned by hard work. That was encouraging to see."
The coach was not quite as pleased with the second half, which remained scoreless until the final 10 minutes, when Mariela Avalos got past a North Tahoe defender and scored on a breakaway, narrowing the lead to 3-2.
"The second half, we still played well, but it would have been nice to see one or two more goals," Rockwood said. "We played average soccer, and there's no excuse not to play great soccer."
Added Pieper: "I thought we were connecting passes, and our touches were good today. I think we just need to work on finishing. But overall we played well."
The Lakers improved to 2-3-1 in Mount Rose League play and 5-7-1 overall. They play at Truckee on Thursday, Oct. 18, at 2 p.m.

One in five children is diagnosed with dyslexia, yet it remains the most publicly misunderstood learning difference. The Center for Learning Differences Education at Trident Academy invites the community to learn more about dyslexia at a free screening of "The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia," accompanied by a panel discussion at Cinebarre Theater (Mount Pleasant) on Sunday, May 19 at 3 p.m. Please RSVP to email@example.com.
"The documentary is extremely well-done and offers an informative look at dyslexia," says Sandi Clerici, interim head of school at Trident Academy. "The opportunity for the public to gain a better understanding of dyslexia, and the importance of individualized, multisensory education, like that provided at Trident Academy, is incredibly important."
"The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia" follows a dyslexic high school student who pursues admissions to a leading college – a challenge for a boy who didn't learn to read until fourth grade. Additional accounts of the dyslexic experience from children, experts and iconic leaders at the top of their fields, help us to understand that dyslexia, a persistent problem with learning to read, can be as great a gift as it sometimes is an obstacle.
Following the 50-minute movie, a panel will lead a discussion on dyslexia. Panelists will include teachers, an Orton-Gillingham Fellow, licensed psycho-educational specialists, and alumni of Trident Academy.
"The panelists will help break open the mystery surrounding dyslexia," says Clerici. "Each panelist has an intimate understanding of dyslexia and the importance of early intervention."

A North Charleston woman is accused of wielding a knife in an assault on her roommate after he refused to stop listening to rock music by the Eagles Monday night.
Vernett Bader, 54, of Brossy Circle, is charged with criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature.
North Charleston police responded to Bader's home late Monday concerning a reported stabbing, an incident report states.
The woman's 64-year-old roommate was nursing stab wounds to his arm, hand and elbow, police said.
The wounded man told police that Bader grew angry with him while he was listening to the Eagles and watching television with his brother.
Bader told her roommate she didn't want to listen to the band. He responded by telling her to shut up, the report states.
Bader grabbed a serrated knife from a kitchen drawer and swung it at the man, police said.
When the two men wrestled the knife away from Bader, she went back into the kitchen and found another, the report states.
Police said Bader admitted that she stabbed her roommate, but alleged that she did so out of self-defense because he was choking her.
Investigators did not see any marks or injuries on her neck, according to the report.
All three people were intoxicated when the stabbing occurred, police said.
Bader was held at the Charleston County jail Tuesday pending a bond hearing.

Use your aesthetic awareness to assemble materials, choosing their most beautiful aspects, assemble them in a different order, and endow them with a value transcending that which they had in nature. Students are required to purchase or provide their own supplies. Optional text for purchase.
