to know if you will get breast
cancer, Alzheimer's disease, become obese, or suffer from a
range of other maladies? It's all in your genes. Currently
you would have to go to doctors to test for genetic abnormalities
that could lead to various illnesses. An enterprising San Diego
startup called Pathway
Genomics has compiled a variety
of these tests, though, and is about to start
selling them at retail giant Walgreen.FDA spokeswoman
Karen Riley was surprised by the news and said that the company has
not yet received approval for the devices and must first get
approved. Approval would involve a lengthy and expensive
process of submitting evidence of the device's efficacy and could
shelve the retail plans for years. However, if the company does
not comply, Riley warns that the FDA may order the devices pulled
from Walgreens' store shelves.Gene testing has to date
exclusively been conducted in the medical setting. The new
Walgreen test, though, allows buyers to take a saliva sample and then
send it back to the lab for analysis. The company say that the
results can help people make informed medical decisions.The
kits are set to go on sale at 6,000 of Walgreens' 7,500 stores.
Individual gene tests will retail between $19.99 and $30. Combo
tests are also available such as the drug-response test for $79, the
"pre-pregnancy planning" test for $179, and the health
condition test for $179. All three of the combo tests are
available for $249.FDA's Riley warns, "The claims have
limitations based on existing science, and consumers should not be
making important medical and lifestyle decisions based on these tests
without first consulting a health-care professional."Jim
Plante, CEO of Pathway Genomics refutes that his company has done
anything wrong, stating, "There are people who need or want to
know more about their genetic makeup, and we recognize that, for
some, genetic reports are becoming a more important component in
managing their personal health care. The value of knowing how
genes play a role in our personal lives, and potentially the lives of
our children, is critical for making well-informed health and
wellness decisions."Ed MacBean, vice president of
product development for the company says that his firm will "be
happy to share with the FDA any data that is requested", but
that, "We're still going to sell the kits at Walgreens because
at this point, we're not aware of any reason we are unable to."The
FDA according to a
report in The
Sun Times may
also be considering action against online retailers of the test
kits. While Walgreens is the first brick-and-mortar retailer to
offer the kits, they've been available previously online.
quote: The FDA does a lot of good work, dude. I can base this on more than watching daytime TV ads. Lawsuits didn't stop Merck & Vioxx; the FDA did.
quote: "In 2005, advisory panels in both the U.S. and Canada encouraged the return of rofecoxib to the market, stating that rofecoxib's benefits outweighed the risks for some patients. The FDA advisory panel voted 17-15 to allow the drug to return to the market despite being found to increase heart risk."
quote: "Merck & Co.'s arthritis drug Vioxx may have led to more than 27,000 heart attacks and sudden cardiac deaths before it was pulled from the market last week, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing an unreleased study by government regulators."

Counterfeiting and piracy cost the U.S. economy between $200 billion and $250 billion per year, according to industry reports.
Counterfeiting and piracy are also responsible for the loss of 750,000 American jobs.
Every year, agents seize tons of counterfeit merchandise that would have been released in the U.S. market.
This slideshow uses federal statistics to count down the top counterfeited items U.S. officials seized in 2011. The statistics are from the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center, an inter-agency task force that enforces intellectual property theft laws.
10: Coming in at No. 10 are counterfeit toys.
Fake toys made up about 4 percent of all the seized counterfeit items in 2011.
No. 9: Fake computers and computer hardware.
Counterfeit computers and hardware made up slightly more than 4 percent of all seized phony merchandise.
No. 8: Cigarettes have always been a heavily counterfeited item.
In 2011, they were about 5 percent of the counterfeit items seized.
No. 7: Watches also land in the top 10. They accounted for a little more than 5 percent of all seizures.
No. 6: Fake perfumes and cologne also rank very highly in the counterfeit items list. In 2011, they made up for more than 5 percent of seized goods.
No. 5: Clothing is fifth on the list.
In 2011, counterfeit clothing accounted for 8 percent of all seizures.
No. 4: What the government calls "optical media" ranked No. 4. Optical media can be DVDs, CDs ...
... and computer software. The disc on the right in this image is a phony. These types of counterfeits accounted for about 9 percent of seizures in 2011.
No. 3: Coming in at No. 3 are fake pharmaceutical drugs. That's up 7 spots from the previous year.
Phony medications made up more than 9 percent of all counterfeit goods that were seized in 2011.
The FDA says counterfeit drugs may be contaminated or contain the wrong or no active ingredient. They could have the right active ingredient but at the wrong dose.
Counterfeit drugs are illegal and may be harmful to your health.
No. 2: Fake shoes rank No. 2. for 2011, down one spot from the previous year.
In 2011, officials say 14 percent of all seized counterfeit items were fake shoes.
No. 1: Consumer electronics.
Counterfeit consumer electronics are heavily trafficked, making up 22 percent of all seizures in 2011.
The total manufacturers suggested retail price for all the seized items, just in 2011, was $1.1 billion.
That $1.1 billion only accounts for intercepted goods and does not begin to calculate items that slipped through the cracks.
Consumers can play an important role in keeping the market free of fakes by acting as a source of investigatory clues for U.S. brand owners.
1. Scrutinize labels, packaging and contents. Often fakes can be spotted very easily, such as these "Durasell" batteries.
2. Seek authorized retailers.
Fakes are often sold on the street or at flea markets.
3. Insist on secure transactions. Businesses selling fake goods may not do business in a secure manner, i.e. over a secure https website.
Watch for missing sales tax charges. If a business is not charging you sales tax, it may not be legitimate.
4. Trust your instincts. Sometimes fakes are easy to spot. Quality may be poor (as in the phony chocolate bar on the right above) or the price may be obscenely low.
5. Report questionable products.
If you suspect you've purchased a counterfeit or pirated product, notify the brand owner and contact the place of purchase for an exchange or reimbursement.
Report unsafe products to the Consumer Product Safety Commission by calling 800-638-2772.
And if you're wondering where most counterfeit items come from, the answer is overwhelmingly China. In 2011, 62 percent of all intercepted counterfeit goods came from China. Hong Kong was No. 2 at 18 percent.

Ferol and W. Henry Lovelady of Goose Creek celebrated their 50th anniversary on Dec. 16.
The Loveladys were married on Dec. 16, 1962 at the First Baptist Church in San Diego, California. Dr. Pieter Smit performed the ceremony.
Joyce Martin Fowler, sister of the bride, was the maid of honor and the Rev. Walter Lovelady, father of the groom, served as best man.
The Loveladys have three children living in the tricounty area. They are Kay Leigh (husband Frank) of Daniel Island, David Lovelady (wife Crystal) of Goose Creek and Rachel Lovelady of Goose Creek. Selena, Micah, Savannah, Tori, Brooke and Haley are their six grandchildren.
The Loveladys have lived in Ladson and Goose Creek for the past 32 years. Mrs. Lovelady taught school for 35 years. The last 20 years of that time was at College Park Middle School. She retired from the Berkeley County School District in 2001.
Dr. Lovelady served as a pastor in Arkansas before coming to South Carolina as a Navy Chaplain. He was stationed at the Weapons Station on the USS Canopus and at the Weapons Station Chapel. He retired from the Navy in 1998 and as a probation officer from the Charleston County Probation, Parole and Pardon Services in 2001.
Staying active in the community is important to the Loveladys. They are members of several professional organizations and the local Charleston Lowcountry Rose Society and the Lowcountry Daylily Club. They are also members of the Deer Park Baptist Church Celebration Choir and will be singing in the Singing Christmas Tree from Dec. 14-17. They will be in the tree on their 50th anniversary.
In the summer of 2013 they plan to take a celebration trip to Alaska.

STATE?COLLEGE?- It's tough to imagine a more battled-scarred college football team in America than the one spread out by positions across the Beaver Stadium turf on a gorgeous Monday during Penn State's annual media day.
James Franklin and his staff sensed those wounds in January after he became the Nittany Lions' third head coach in 27 months - fifth if you count Tom Bradley and Larry Johnson, the interim selections.
Beyond the changes, Penn State's fourth- and fifth-year seniors - each recruited by what was once the nation's most stable program ever -- endured the Sandusky scandal followed by the firing and death of Joe Paterno.
"They have been through a lot," Franklin said.
"You have to be sympathetic," cornerbacks coach Terry Smith, the former Lion receiver, said. "They've gone through arguably the two hardest years in the history of this university's football program."
The players initially did not greet the new staff with open arms. The upperclassmen were cynical and worn down, and the freshmen and sophomores were hurt, too, by Bill O'Brien's departure.
"It's just like anybody," senior offensive tackle Donovan Smith said. "You're not going to let people into your life right away."
The upperclassmen signed with Penn State well after Paterno had already turned 80, but they sure didn't envision his departure in the brutal way it unfolded. No one did.
"Even though (when recruited) you weren't sure Joe would be there all four years, you still thought the core of that coaching staff would be," redshirt senior Matt Zanellato said. "After that year, with all the turmoil, a new staff comes in with Coach O'Brien, then they're there for two years, and after that second year, you build up a relationship and know what to expect going forward.
"Then the entire coaching staff moves on, and it's a complete turnover. By the time coach Franklin's staff got here, I think they sensed kind of a guard-up throughout the locker room, especially among the older players."
And yet, Zanellato thought Christian Hackenberg's class had it even tougher.
"I think some of the older players might have been a little bit better off because the younger players came in under coach O'Brien hoping he'd be here for all four years," he said. "The older guys were able to deal with it."
Franklin quickly addressed the "challenges," but it took time. Establishing a leadership council, something that was in place over the years but seldom used, helped bridge the gap.
"When they first came in, a lot of people were afraid to give them our trust," senior linebacker Mike Hull said. "We were a team that played for each other only and didn't really embrace new changes."
Slowly, though, the team started warming up to its new regime.
"We said we really have to let them in," Zanellato said. "We had to learn trust, and overall, throughout the spring and summer, we have built that trust."
In addition to regular meetings of the leadership council, which includes all the seniors and representatives from the other classes, the players feel they have input into some of Franklin's rules and have been consulted on issues such as conditioning sessions and team functions.
Just as the players want to impress the staff, the feeling is mutual.
"They've had some success here, and they've been through a lot," offensive coordinator John Donovan said. "We have to prove to them we know what we're doing. Hopefully that trust builds relationships."
One of Franklin's first comments Monday concerned intangibles, saying "chemistry and morale are as important or more important than Xs and Os."
He believes much progress has been made in seven months.
"I'm so appreciative that they allowed us to enter their family because this is their family," he said. "This program belongs to the players. This university belongs to the students and the alumni, and I'm so thankful that they allowed us to join and break into their circle of trust. They've been great."
Time heals and though or because "we've been through hell and back, a coaching change is not that hard to go through," Zanellato said.
That resiliency, barring key injuries, could be a sign that the Lions are capable of matching or bettering last year's 7-5 record or at least avoiding the sub-.500 mark many forecast when the NCAA sanctions hit.
Either way, Terry Smith said and he's right, these players should be appreciated.
"They've stood by Penn State when they had a chance to leave," he said. "They were shown the door, and they chose to stay. We have tohonor and respect that. At the same time, we have to put the best 11 out there and win games.
"Because if we don't win games," he added with a smile, "we won't be here much longer, either."

Apple files patent for iPhone friendly optical stylus
0. phoneArena 24 May 2012, 08:16 posted on
As surprising as it may seem, Apple is apparently working on a stylus, of all things; a stylus that is meant to work with the company's portable devices, such as the iPhone. How do we know? Well, Apple has filed a patent application for such an accessory, meaning that it might materialize one day making those Draw Something sessions a lot more enjoyable...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Steve Jobs is dead.
Tim Cook is the new CEO.
If Apple consumers are asking for something, allow Apple to come to those demands. Jobs was a great man, but the antenna gate showed that he may not have always had his ears open...something that bothered me a bit. If this is what consumers want, I'm glad Apple is answering...

Agreed. Jobs was innovative certainly had a vision but that doesn't mean he was always right. The popularity of Android shows that there's more than one way to do things.

I'm just saying...if Apple had come up with this "intelligent stylus" three years ago, we'd hear nothing but yells of, "Samsung copies!!!!" when the Galaxy Note came out.
But, with the situation reversed, what iFan do you suppose will come to this story and admit Apple is now copying Samsung? (I think some might, but not most)

Already happening even without the situation being reversed. Case-in-point: comment #16... and so it begins!

No, no. Of course not. Not inside the RDF. What color is the sky in there, where Apple just came up with this idea of a stylus that does more than just replace a fingertap on the screen out of thin air?
90. Fallout09 (Posts: 421; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
No, but HTC did. Once again.... Apple never copies anything.

Apple didn't invent rectangles, grids of icons, touchscreens, multi-touch, popup menus to choose default actions when clicking a link, or smartphones in general, but that doesn't stop them suing.

Galaxy note has one already, its been out for quite awhile. And is very popular.
So who's shamelessly copying now?
19. bragzter (Posts: 52; Member since: 21 Feb 2012)
LOL. Apple is a joke. You hated it back in 2007, but now that Samsung made it beautiful again (NB. again, because the stylus was around before 2007 on Nokias and Windows Mobile devices). Now they want to patent it, just like the way the patented the rectangle and called it a tablet. Lol.
20. andro. (Posts: 1998; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
Hmm Apple the way again with innovations like the s pen.....oh wait....! With iphone 5 changes in renders increasing making the iphone looks extremely similar to android phones,ios beginning to use android features like drop down notifications and widgets and apple now trying their own galaxy note then ifans claims of everyone copying apple has become even funnier
21. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
So after seeing how well aftermarket styluses sell for iPhones and iPads, and after seeing the success of the Galaxy Note, Apple starts working on a stylus.
Nice "innovative" move there, Apple. Will it be called the iTouch stylus perhaps? Then what will ignorant customers call the iPod Touch?
Now don't get me wrong, if Apple makes an official stylus for their phones it'll be nice. I'm just bracing for both Apple and their braying jackasses of followers to claim Apple did it first, made it popular or some other bulls**t.
30. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)

thats whats is wrong with you Sniggly.. you assume things... unless you hear from an apple consumer about the stylus pen. just limtit your comments to the article and dont provoke. cuz... we could eliminate all tablets... like we done so far
39. frydaexiii (Posts: 1443; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
Yes, with your oversized iPod that can't do anything practical, whooooo scary *wriggles arms*
41. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Okay, despite the fact that your English is more broken than usual today, I think I understand the part about "eliminating" tablets, which I take to mean that you think the iPad dominates the tablet market.
Unfortunately for you, Android has been chipping away at tablet market share, to the point where Apple has gone from controlling 90 percent of the market to like 65 percent. That's almost a third of its market share gone in two years. Yep, that's a true example of "eliminating" the competition.
47. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
and thats only because of a spike in the last 2 months. they were at just over 50% coming out of Q1 and projected by many to be over taken by May had the sales trend continued. Luckily for our trolls, apple had a sales surge.
50. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
the only reason is tha Android is gaining tablet market share is because they release $199 tablets that are worht just that... they dont sell expensive tablets... or better yet anything bigger that 7 inches... pray that Apple doesnt relesase a 6.9999 tablet because those cheap 7 inchers will collect dust along those 10.1 ..
54. tedkord (Posts: 11689; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Why does that sound familiar? Oh, that's right, it's what the Apple faithful were saying 4 years ago about smartphones. How's that working out for ya?
57. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
by changing the subject means that you didnt had a intelligent comeback right?..

Hows that working 3 tablets made and just the #gs, 4, 4S against an army of andriod phones mads at multitude of prices and I would say Apple is doing really good even though it is a lock down device. And yes wether its 50% or 80% they still own the tablet market with a one size one type of tablet. So we can all hate and call then evil it doesnt change the facts. And if Samsung or HTC or whoever didnt patent their desgn of a stylus and Apple gets there first that is called busines just like Goog buying Moto for the patents and we all know thats the reason. So come on with the childish mean and ignorant comments.

better to sell tablets at 199 that are "worth that", then at 599 with the same components as the 199 tablets. that would make it "not worth it".
75. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
well good luck with your 199 tablet.. while I enjoy my 599 tablet... and we will see who will shop for another tablet in the future...
woops.... keep that radio shack tablet catalog handy...

I'm sure you will because you're going to be waiting in line for two days for "The Newer iPad" next year so your comment is invalid.
92. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
lol, I'll take that bet gallito. :) Hmm.. ill take one of those handy dandy Tegra 3 tablets that are coming out around the 200 mark.
Just because its priced lower doesnt mean its made of cheaper components, it just means your paying less for it.
I dont know why you itroll tards think that if you pay more for it, it must be better. that just means your paying more for it and nothing else.. lol

and u keep assuming things that Android have copy Apple with the STYLIST

I would love the ability to "write" notes versus trying to type.
I would be game for a stylus that would let me rest my hand on the screen, and use the pen at the same time.
24. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
You can already do the first on the Galaxy Note phone, and I'm sure you'll have that on the Note 10.1 when it comes out.
26. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
its already working on the galaxy note and the Galaxy note tab... if I'm not mistaken even on the HTC flyer and both are pressure sensitive (like when you draw if you press harder ink comes darker and stuff ) THE NEXT BIG THING is already here. you should read reviews more often
31. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
yea, that existed in windows 5.xx and palm way back in the old days.
its like fashion. whats old is new again.
34. theoak (Posts: 324; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
Right, so the article is about a stylus on an Apple device.
I get other devices can.
I am not sure if an Apple device can and it would be nice if it could without the device interpreting the hand touch (versus the pen) touch as input. That is all I was saying.
Perhaps that is where the pen feedback would come from. This way the pen and iDevice would "know" when the pen was no longer in use and when to interpret touches from other areas as input again.
36. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Okay, so basically, even though your original comment made no indication that you were hoping for an iDevice to do what you were describing, you are annoyed with us for pointing out that what you were asking for at least partially exists already with Apple's competitors?
46. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
it already works like that.... again check the galaxy note
25. tluv00 (Posts: 134; Member since: 18 Oct 2007)
Innovation - The process of seeing the competition's ideas and either purchasing them, copying and changing it around or just filing and paying off the patent office so you can sue in the future because in reality you really aren't that innovative at all.
27. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
oh wait.... so stylus is not dead? after that kick starter and all the stylus devices and the claims it was dead now its something viable
I win again
29. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
Looks like Apple is going to do another law suit. Samsung already have the S STYLIST pen for the NOTE. And going to use it on their other Galaxy DEVICE. This is just useless. PATENT for a STYLIST? You can use that already
37. frydaexiii (Posts: 1443; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
Anyone else notice a trend here?
When Samsung or Google wants to "steal" Apple's tech, they just go all out and make it. (S Voice and according to taco, the whole Android interface.)
But when Apple wants to steal, they patent the idea without any prototype whatsoever (Stylus, Face Unlock)? Except maybe for the notification bar, since they didn't bother to even change any part of it.
Anyway, this idea is retarded. If it's an optical stylus like a mouse, then it would require a power source, where the hell do they find batteries so small? Wait for one of the competitors to create it and then steal it? Or will there be a tiny wire stuck to the stylus?
So the iFans who have been saying Android has been piggybacking off iOS's success, then WTF is this? Say a stylus is wrong ad when it sells you patent one with a practically impossible method? Total bull...

Oops, something didn't work.
Very subject to critcism and not commonly used or recomended, C++ had the rich feature of supporting multiple inheritence so there is no need to go a step back or a step aside and yet introduce interfaces [and probably rename the language C+-].
Any one who has ever succeeded in developing a concrete application using multiple inheritence can name a lot of drawbacks in using interfaces to acheive same functionality. Like in the case of c#, the need to define interface members (i.e. overriding functions)
in every class that implements the interface. For 100 such classes implementing an interface, 100 seperate implementations for each method, required. At least multiple inheritence can reduce the number of override(d/n) functions to ensure some code reuse.
If somehow interfaces are not limited to abstract definitions,......
People criticize C++ for multiple inheritence, which doesn't mean it is bad. However, in many cases it is either poorly understood or otherwise misued. MI almost always obfuscates the design and introduces maintenance issues. This is one of the reasons
why it is usually better to aggregate functionality through composition than to inherit it. However, this is beside the point.
Interface design is not direclty related to inheritence. Interface design is about contract definition and abstraction from the client objects (decoupling). This leads to easier replacement and reuse.
Inheritence is about reuse within the server objects. Both can lead to polymorphism, but interfaces do not have the rest of the inheritance baggage to carry along (which multiple inheritence was implemented to avoid). But since MI leads to complexity, it didn't work out too well.
I think Interface based design is just now being recognized as a very strong reuse mechanism, and this presentation helps to make that point.

A Woodlawn Avenue man faces up to 15 years in prison when he's sentenced next month after being convicted Friday on a charge of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon in connection with an April 2012 incident on Johnson Street, according Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III.
Jovan Barksdale, 33, was found guilty of hiding a loaded and stolen .380 handgun on the porch of a Johnson Street house about 10 a.m. on April 3, 2012, shortly after Buffalo Police officers responded to a 911 call complaining of two men with guns.
Barksdale struggled with police when they attempted to apprehend him, Sedita reported.
At trial, Barksdale did not testify or call any defense witnesses. The attorney representing him, Sedita said, suggested to the jury in his closing remarks that the district attorney "zealously over-prosecutes cases."
Barksdale, who has four prior felony convictions including for attempted robbery and drug charges, was convicted as charged in this case following the week-long jury trial before Erie County Court Judge Kenneth F. Case.
He is scheduled to be sentenced at 2 p.m., Feb. 20.

It is interesting, notepad will out-last almost all of even the most well written development environments. I can easily see it out-lasting VB6.
This technology is pretty cool. I hate XML style new technologies (I think they are too resource intensive to pass) but when it is used correctly (like this) I love it. I must admit, I would like to have a converter so I can take the XAML and compile it right into the app, to save the processing time.
A converter for say C# wouldn't be too complicated because XAML is strictly defined. I wonder if it is passed each time you load the application or each time you use the graphic interface? I would assume it is passed and stored as a more efficient format so the 'events' within the XAML can pass to data handlers more quickly.
rasx wrote:XAML is impressive. Let's hear about security features! Let's hear about dropping XAML decalrations into ASP.NET and suddenly getting a web page (based on a subset of controls not Longhorn dependent).
Let's hear about Adobe or Macromedia embracing XAML so these mature design tools can be used by these mythical designers that work with us developers.
At least let's hear about Microsoft building, say, an XPDF to XAML converter.
It's a very good technology but will MS be able to make beautiful look of Mac OSX happen in Windows. XP is much more simple but Mac OSX has more hot looks. Not only should they be showing us these technologies, they must really start some great coding to make a some what beautiful, easy to use OS. Then their will be no complaint. Other uses of XAML could also be, for people wanting to make birthday cards and brochures and that kind of stuff. So I don't really reckon this technology lies just with developers. It lies within everyone. I think XAML will be one the best technology out along with .NET and the other Longhorn Pillars. Plus it's gonna be available on XP and Windows Server 2003, so it should really be something that will be encorporated not only into Longhorn but some exisisting Windows Operating Systems too. Although that is only the latest ones. But by the time it's released, 2000 will be like 98 when Xp was released. And 98... LOL!!!

Well if you apply the appropriate visual theme you can already get the look and feel of Mac OSX on Windows XP (and some even more impressive look and feels). For my money the new Royale theme is pretty cool too.
Looking at Lornhorn's new Aero UI, (the few glimpses we've seen from the PDC and other sources), it already looks top notch. Hopefully it'll be a significant step forward in elegant interfaces (though it'll be interesting to see how a older windows apps will look on the new platform).
On the other subject of backwards compatibility, I understand way it's impossible to retrofit the vector based render engine of Avalon into Windows 2000/XP, but perhaps it would be possible to use the framework to render XAML apps with the GDI on older versions of Windows, in a cut down form (losing the high fidelity graphics, resizing etc...).
Thus an application made using XAML could perform on a older platform much like a browser can render html pages even if it doesn't support CSS (although hopefully the drop in visual quality won't be as drastic).

U.S. dairy exports should remain strong this year
U.S. dairy exports should remain strong this year
While soft sales late last year do toss up a red flag, demand for dairy products in leading U.S. markets should remain strong throughout 2013.
by Corey Geiger, Hoard's Dairyman Managing Editor
"Predicting U.S. dairy exports is always challenging, but the outlook for the remainder of 2013 is more uncertain than usual," noted Ed Jesse professor emeritus in the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "A red flag in the outlook is a significant tail-off in U.S. exports during the last half of 2012. The primary reason for the 2012 export pattern was the U.S. milk price pattern," wrote Jesse in his paper, "U.S. Dairy Trade Situation and Outlook: 2013."
"Global demand and supply will obviously be the key drivers of total world dairy trade in 2013," projected Jesse. "Global demand will determine the overall size of the trade pie; supply conditions in major exporting countries will determine how it will be sliced.
"Based on the forecasted economic growth, demand for dairy products in leading U.S. markets should remain strong," stated the University of Wisconsin professor. "With exception of Canada and Japan, GDP growth (gross domestic product) in the top 20 U.S. dairy export markets is expected to exceed the 2.1 GDP growth for the U.S. Economies are expected to grow most rapidly in China and Southeast Asia which are expanding markets for U.S. dairy products.
"While global demand for dairy products will be strong in 2013, supply-side conditions are less clear," Jesse pointed out. The U.S. is still recovering from drought. As a result, feed inventories remain low and feed costs are still high which may limit production.
Since 2007, the U.S. has been a net dairy exporter. Last year, dairy exports topped a record $5.2 billion while dairy imports stood at $2.5 billion. That netted a $2.7 billion trade surplus. From a product standpoint, the top four export product categories have been: whey, lactose, nonfat dry milk and cheese. "Foreign customers bought about half of the dry whey made in the U.S. and two-thirds of the lactose," noted Jesse.
Mexico remains the number one U.S. dairy product customer as it imports $1.2 billion or nearly one-quarter of all U.S. dairy product exports. "Canada and China were in second and third place, followed by several East and Southeast countries," wrote Jesse.
On the import front, the U.S. purchased $2.7 billion worth of dairy products last year mostly in the form of cheese and dried milk proteins (MPC, casein and caseinates). "Western Europe supplied most of the cheese, while New Zealand was the dominant supplier of milk proteins," Jesse explained.

Safe Electricity Urges Caution Around Electric Meters and Equipment
Electric meters, poles, and lines keep our electric system running smoothly, but they are often overlooked and even abused. Safe Electricity urges everyone to stay away from and be respectful of utility equipment in order to keep electrical systems running safely and reliably.
Don't tamper with your electric meter for any reason. Tampering with your meter is illegal in many states, but more importantly, can cause electrocution and fire, resulting in injury and damage, even death. If you think there may be a problem with your meter, call your local electric provider —don't try to fix it yourself.
Exercise caution with and around electrical equipment to protect yourself and others:

Superintendent's Welcome
Welcome to the Susanville School District website. The Susanville School District endeavors to educate all students to their fullest potential, and to promote responsible, self-reliant, independent, caring students who have the skills and attitudes necessary to become successful and productive citizens within a safe, supportive environment.
The Susanville School District is the largest K-8 school district in Lassen County and consists of three schools within the greater City of Susanville area. The District currently encompasses the City of Susanville and stretches north to the shores of beautiful Eagle Lake. With a student population of almost 1100 elementary students in 2011, the Susanville School District serves as a leader in the county's educational community.
School houses were originally established in the Susanville area as early as 1863; where a one-story school was built on the southwest side of Cottage and Weatherlow Streets. In 1864, the county mapped the boundaries for the school districts in the area. In 1900, a two-story brick schoolhouse was built; the Susanville Grammar School had ten classrooms for its students. Established in 1925, the Susanville School District has played an integral role in the history of the City of Susanville and Lassen County. Washington School was the original grammar school in Susanville and was later joined by Lincoln, Roosevelt and McKinley Schools. In 1938, Roosevelt Pool was opened behind the Roosevelt School on Richmond Road. Today, the three schools servicing the students of the Susanville School District are: McKinley School (K-2), Meadow View School (3-5) and Diamond View School (6-8). With a wide range of programs and fantastic teaching staff, the students of the Susanville School District are well served in their educational needs.
We hope that this interactive website serves as a vital resource for the students and parents in our community. Please check back often as we will be continually updating the content on the website in order to make the site a valuable communication tool for all users.

I read of the recent passing of former city councilman Tom Byrne with great sadness.
I had the pleasure of getting to know Tom when I was a reporter with the Altoona Mirror covering City Hall in the early 1980s.
Tom was truly a man of the people. He felt he owed them the truth. And he told the truth because it was the right thing to do, even when it may have been more prudent to say nothing.
As a reporter, I appreciated that. I think the voters did, too. They kept re-electing him.
Tom did not see himself as a politician, so he never worried about his image.
Sometimes, in the heat of battle, he would misspeak, like the time at a council meeting when he accused someone of "putting the horse before the cart."
He was real, and he could laugh at himself. That was part of the guy's charm. You never knew what you were going to get. You just knew it would be sincere.
The relationship between elected officials and the media is meant to be adversarial, but - although I'm sure we had our moments - you just
couldn't be consistently adversarial with Tom.
You knew you were dealing with a principled man whose intentions were nothing but honorable and whose political life was unique in its singular desire to serve.
This is not to cast aspersions on council members past or present, but anyone who knew Tom would agree that he was one of a kind. One of the best kind.

The Lake County Adopt-a-Lake Program is a volunteer program that helps to preserve and enhance the County's lakes. It is similar in some aspects to an adopt-a-road program.
The Adopt-a-Lake Program encourages local civic organizations, individuals and fraternal and business groups to adopt a segment of a lake's shoreline. Unlike an adopt-a-road program where litter cleanup is the sole component, the Lake County Adopt-a-Lake Program is comprised of three separate components: Water-Quality Monitoring, Education and Pollution Prevention.
All an organization needs to get started is volunteers who are in good physical shape responsible and interested in helping to keep Lake County's communities clean and beautiful. Procedures and safety policies are in place to protect volunteers. There are many other benefits to participating in the Lake County Adopt-a-Lake Program.
To sign up for the Adopt-a-Lake Program, call (352) 253-1659 or fill out an online inquiry.
2016 Adopt-a-Lake Calendar Photo Contest
The calendars which include the selected pictures from water bodies in Lake County, are available for a suggested donation of $5 from the Lake County Public Works Department, Water Resource Management Laboratory.

The challenge for the old Penn State football coaching staff was putting a good 2012 recruiting class together.
The challenge of the new one is keeping it together.
The Nittany Lions are taking a big step forward in the effort to do that this weekend: Eleven of the 14 players who still are verbally committed to them are visiting University Park from Friday through Sunday.
Undecided four-star safety De'metrious Cox, considered by some to be leaning toward picking Penn State before the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal broke and longtime Nittany Lion coach Joe Paterno was fired, is on hand, too.
"This weekend is the first priority of the new staff. As [new coach] Bill O'Brien said, they are looking to lock down the guys that have already committed,'' said Sean Fitz, who follows Penn State football recruiting for Lions247.com. "Obviously, it's very, very important for them just to have the base of that class and get the guys back on board, back into the fold and just cut their recruitment off.
"It's huge. If they don't secure these guys, they don't have a lot of time to work [to find replacements].''
O'Brien is supposed to be on campus to meet with the recruits on Sunday morning at the conclusion of their visit.
Before Paterno was fired, Penn State was well on its way to a highly rated recruiting class, having filled 17 of approximately 23 available scholarships with a group that included a number of four-star players and being high on the list of Cox and consensus No. 1 national defensive end prospect Noah Spence, among others. However, in the last two months, Illinois defensive tackle Tommy Schutt, Colorado offensive lineman Joey O'Connor and Pittsburgh tight end J.P. Holtz decommitted, and Spence picked Ohio State, as did Schutt.
Several other players that still are committed to Penn State, like Camren Williams and Armani Reeves of Massachusetts, Brent Wilkerson of Maryland and Malik Golden of Connecticut, have or are scheduled to visit other colleges.
In interviews with various recruiting sites, Penn State recruits said this week that O'Brien has been in contact with them.
"There's excitement, but it's kind of tempered excitement because they have to forge relationships with these coaches so soon and they have to make sure they fit into what these new coaches are trying to do,'' Fitz said. "But, there's a lot of excitement. Obviously, with [O'Brien] coming over from the Patriots, he's got a reputation. Defensively, most of the guys in the class are linemen or linebackers, so they know Larry Johnson and Ron Vanderlinden are there.''
Southern New Jersey defensive tackle Jamil Pollard recommitted to Penn State even before O'Brien was hired and has had glowing praise for the new staff in interviews. Linemen Austin Johnson, Derek Dowrey, Brian Gaia and Anthony Stanko appear firmly in the fold, too, and tight end Jesse James already is enrolled.
In addition to Cox, who looks like he might be down to Penn State, Michigan State and Pitt, the key commits the staff most needs to reassure are Philadelphia quarterback Skyler Mornhinweg and Golden.
"Those are the two I'm definitely watching the closest. Keeping those two would go a long way in solidifying the class. The other guys seem solid,'' Fitz said. "Honestly, if you would have asked me Wednesday, I would have said that I thought Golden committed to Iowa already or maybe was in the process of doing so. He was not really happy that [assistant coach] Kermit Buggs was not retained. He wasn't really happy when the entire scandal came out. Penn State has a lot of work to do to keep him.''
Reeves and Williams, both four-star prospects from the same high school, also are in limbo with the dismissal of their recruiting coach, Bill Kenney, and also are pivotal. Williams helped spearhead Penn State's early recruiting surge by contacting many of the Lions' targets himself.
Williams now is considering Ohio State, while Reeves is looking at the Buckeyes and Michigan - he's visiting Ann Arbor this weekend. The duo is slated to make their official visits to Penn State last, on the weekend of Jan. 27.
"They still really like Penn State,'' Fitz said. "Honestly, I like Penn State's chances a lot better than the others, because I know they do want to go to school together. One door could close at Ohio State which could close the door on the other one. It's up in the air right now, but, if things go well on their visit, I expect them to stick by Penn State.''

If anything, the college football rankings and polls like today's Associated Press Preseason Top 25 keep fans talking and certainly spark discussion about who's better, who should be where, who's too high and who's too low.
The AP Poll is comprised of votes from the media—writers and broadcasters who cover college football—as opposed to the USA Today/ESPN poll, which is made up of votes from selected FBS coaches from around the country.
It's debatable which poll is actually "better," but the AP poll has been ranking teams for more than half a century now and, prior to the creation of the BCS, was the barometer for naming a national champion when the final votes were tallied.
Moreover, the AP Poll votes do not count in the complicated system the BCS uses to determine its standings.
Still, the AP Poll is highly respected and is a great barometer for rating the nation's best college football teams.

WILSON – The question of who was to blame for the propane gas explosion that leveled a Wilson home in July, killing a 14-year-old girl, apparently will be hashed out in court.
Jody and Judith Johnson and their surviving daughter Katie brought suit in State Supreme Court Friday, seeking unspecified damages from Noco Energy Corp., the Town of Tonawanda company that supplied propane gas to their home at 4972 Chestnut Road.
The house blew up shortly after 6 a.m. July 24, killing Sarah Johnson, 14. Katie Johnson, 19, suffered severe burns and was hospitalized for seven weeks. Both parents and son Nathan, 16, suffered less serious injuries.
The suit was filed by attorney Matthew J. Beck of the Buffalo firm of Duke Holzman Photiadis & Gresens.
It acknowledges that Jody Johnson, 45, disconnected the 500-gallon Noco propane tank the night before the blast and hooked up a 100-pound propane tank he owned to the copper line leading into the home.
This occurred after the Johnsons smelled gas in their home, starting in the late morning or early afternoon of July 23. "It was not our tank [that blew up]," said Noco's attorney, former U.S. Attorney Terrance P. Flynn of the Harris Beach law firm.
"It was disconnected by somebody other than us, and now we know who that was."
"He's a professional pipe fitter. I've never questioned his abilities or his skills," said Sam Parise, Jody Johnson's boss at Parise Mechanical in the Town of Tonawanda.
"The basis of liability is that [Noco] did not provide proper warning under the circumstances and cause further steps to be taken," Beck said Monday.
He said Noco's customer service worker, who spoke to Judith Johnson on the telephone, "should have treated the situation as an emergency, should have warned them, 'Call your local fire department, don't activate the system, don't use any appliances that create sparks, don't do anything.' They downplayed the situation [and] led my clients into a false sense of safety."
The suit says Jody Johnson was called at work July 23 and told of the odor. He directed his daughter Hannah to turn off the Noco tank. Judith Johnson, 46, later checked to see that Hannah had done that correctly and concluded that she had.
She then called Noco and got an answering service, which contacted the company. A Noco representative called back, and she told him of the odor and that the propane tank was nearly empty.
The service representative, who is not named in the lawsuit, reportedly said the odorant added to the gas becomes stronger when the supply level is low. The Noco staffer never warned that the situation should be considered dangerous, the suit asserts. That omission constitutes negligence leading to Sarah's wrongful death, the plaintiffs charge.
The Noco worker did tell Judith Johnson that Noco would not deliver more propane "until satisfactory credit and payment arrangements were made," the lawsuit said. By that time, the billing office was closed. That's when Jody Johnson disconnected the Noco tank and hooked up his own.
The investigation of exactly what sparked the blast is still incomplete, Beck said.
Capt. Kristen Neubauer, head of the criminal investigation unit at the Niagara County Sheriff's Office, said the office will not publicly release its files on the blast, but they have been shared with the attorneys in the suit.
