I think the Republicans took all the fun out of 'gay.' I mean the word gay -- it's fun. But now it's a ban on same sex partners. That sounds horrible. I mean, when do you hear a ban? When it's a toxic pesticide or a nuclear warhead. And who wants to f**k a partner? It sounds like a guy in a gray suit at a law firm.

Sense of peril for health law gives insurers pause
The New York Times, April 2, 2012
Although it would be folly to predict what the court will conclude, policy experts, insurers, doctors and legislators are now seriously contemplating the repercussions of a complete change in course two years after the nation began to put the law into place. Their concerns were heightened after three days of court arguments in which some justices expressed skepticism about whether the full law could stand without the individual mandate requiring almost everyone to have insurance.

She was free with her favours too, and her multitude of lovers came from all over the continent. But when Kathleen dies, her only son Alexander returns to Johannesburg to carry out her final wishes. But then he meets Cindy September, a woman of the new South Africa, and Alexander ...

Jones Day and digital rights group face off in war of words over Detroit bankruptcy parody site
Posted Jun 27, 2014 9:52 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
When Jones Day learned a parody site was mocking a former law firm bankruptcy attorney's work as the city of Detroit's emergency manager, counsel for the 2,500-attorney law firm apparently was not amused.
In a June 10 cease-and-desist letter (PDF), the firm warned the owner of the kevynorr.com site via the company hosting the Web address to stop using the law firm's service mark, Deadline Detroit reports.
On Monday, the Electronic Frontier Foundation fired back. The digital rights advocate called the law firm a bully in a post at its Deeplinks Blog and said in a letter (PDF) that its client had no intention of removing the partially obscured Jones Day logo that appears behind a lizard-like cartoon character on the parody site.
Will Jones Day follow through on its threat to "avail itself of all legal and equitable remedies available, including the commencement of litigation without further notice?" Only time will tell.
A Law.com (sub. req.) article provides further details.

KOZHIKODE: The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), youth wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has condemned the attempts to suppress the agitations against the `anti-people conditions' in the agreement signed by the Left Democratic Front (LDF) Government for taking the Asian Development Bank (ADB) loan.
BJYM State president K. Surendran was reacting to reports of police beating up BJYM leaders and activists in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday. The ADB itself said that the Government should use force, if needed, to implement the conditions in the agreement. "If the police under Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, Home Minister, is acting on the dictates of the ADB, then BJYM will not mind even to break the law and go to jail," he said.
He said the alleged move to fix meters for public taps numbering around 98,000 in the State as per the dictates of the ADB would be resisted vehemently. Resistance would be organised by mobilising people around these 98,000 taps and resist the move to fix meters.

Since she is becoming more known to the WWE universe, developmental diva Paige has become quite the target for male fans who want to see more of her naked body. Unfortunately, though, there are none of those available online. Paige is quite young and has been smart enough to avoid posing nude. This bikini picture is the closest that you're going to get to that.
March 26, 2014
Since she has appeared nude in Playboy magazine before, it should come as no surprise that Torrie Wilson has plenty of naked and topless photos online. This is a really sexy picture of the former WWE diva being topless. She is wearing a bikini bottom, but it is rather skimpy.
March 26, 2014
A website called Fooxy Babes has been trying to capitalize on the rising popularity of Paige, a developmental diva who is expected to be called up to the main roster in WWE very soon. They are promoting that they have naked pictures of Paige, but that is not the case. They simply have porn stars named Paige on the website. While they are nice to look at, none of them include naked photos of Paige, the wrestler.
March 24, 2014
Since she is easily one of the hottest performers in all of professional wrestling, fans have been seeking out naked photos of Velvet Sky for quite some time now. She has never been completely shot in the buff before, but this picture of her wearing just a championship belt is the closet we will get to see the TNA knockout without any clothes on.
March 23, 2014
There are rumors of naked Stephanie McMahon pictures floating around the internet, but that is not the case. It is a hoax by Break.com, which utilizes her name to lure in WWE fans to their website. The photos being shown on their pages are that of Stephanie Eve.
March 23, 2014
There are rumors floating around that naked photos of Naomi Knight exists on the internet. The source of those speculations stem from a website called Tube Library, which attempts to draw in traffic from wrestling fans looking for naked pictures and videos of WWE divas. None of the content on there are legitimate.
March 22, 2014
A picture of Madison Rayne in her panties, and it looks like the TNA Knockouts Champion is about to get naked. Unfortunately, though, it's just a tease, as Madison is a mother now, so no such photos will be taken.
March 21, 2014
A porn message board is claiming to have naked pictures of Eva Marie, but it is actually just a hoax to generate traffic from WWE fans who want to see more of the diva. There are no nudity in the pictures, but there are some hot images of Eva Marie, including this picture of her wearing a very skimpy thong.
March 20, 2014
Since she is unlikely to show up naked in Playboy magazine anytime soon, wrestling fans have flocked online to see if they can find a wardrobe malfunction video, in order to get more of a glimpse of Summer Rae. This clip, which barely shows her purple thong, has proven to be a highly viewed video on YouTube.
March 20, 2014
A naked picture of Stacy Keibler has surfaced online, and it has caused a lot of fans to speculate on the validity of the image. After further examination, the photo is a fake. Someone took the face of the former WWE diva and pasted her on a girl with no clothes. While the edit is quite hot and appealing, it definitely not Stacy.
March 20, 2014
As many already now by now, Tammy Sytch has been selling naked pictures of herself to fans who are willing to spend $40 to see them. However, word going around is that she is not generating a lot of sales, as people are simply going online to find readily available nude photos of her. The former WWE diva is said to have fallen on hard times.
March 18, 2014
A picture of Kaitlyn in a black thong. The former Divas champion had these taken before she became a star in WWE, as the company now has a policy against girls posing nude, naked or topless. Since Kaitly is no longer with WWE, there is a chance that she could opt to do such photo shoots, but it appears unlikely as she is getting married soon.
March 16, 2014
A very professionally edited photo has surfaced on the internet that has caused a lot of people to think that Trish Stratus has posed naked. Her face was super imposed on to a really hot blonde showing her gigantic breasts and giving a glimpse of her genitals.
March 16, 2014
There are rumors floating around that an AJ Lee nude photo exists on the internet. After some further investigation, it has now been confirmed to be a hoax, as the picture in question features a naked girl that bares only a slight resemblance to the WWE diva. The brunette has a very slim figure and very petite breasts, much like AJ.
March 15, 2014
As many of you already know by now, Jeff Jarrett shocked the wrestling world when he showed up in New Japan and joined the Bullet Club. Well, rumors are now circulating that the Bullet Club could be joining Jarrett. When Global Force Wrestling starts doing shows, the belief is that AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows and others will make appearances. Some of them could even be signed to the roster.
August 15, 2014
As some of you already know, former WWE and TNA star Luke Gallows recently got married. CM Punk, AJ Lee, Zack Ryder, Curt Hawkins, Mike Knox, Bully Ray, Angelina Love, Samoa Joe, Mickie James, Matt Hardy, Reby Sky, Velvet Sky and Colt Cabana were among those in attendance at the wedding.
May 20, 2014
A picture of Curt Hawkins, Zack Ryder, Angelina Love, WWE developmental wrestler Conor OBrian and Mike Knox attending the wedding of Amber O'Neal and Luke Gallows.

"I still do Hangar 18 but I always liked Lex Luger as a kid and it had been a long time since we'd seen a finisher like that. It was something that I thought I could use, given my size. It also looks impressive so I decided to add it to my arsenal. I once had to pick up Luke Gallows, he's a big guy and sometimes you think 'that's bad on the back' because your compressing your spine. As for Hanger 18, I always give props to Brock Lesnar because that's his move and I use the F5 with the utmost respect but that move is rough on your back too." - Gunner talks about his finishing move
May 6, 2014
In one of the biggest international stories of the year, AJ Styles has captured the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. He defeated Kazuchika Okada when Yujiro Takahashi turned on Okada and helped Styles.

May 3, 2014
Some interesting developments are taking place over in the Far East. Prince Devitt is rumored to be leaving New Japan, where he is a member of the popular Bullet Club stable with Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows. Devitt was heavily recruited by both WWE and TNA over the last couple of months, and rumors are now floating around that he will sign a contract with one of those companies.
May 2, 2014
Since they're now one of the most popular acts in all of Japan, the Bullet Club has been booked for a couple of shows with Ring of Honor.

The trio are just doing guest stints, as they still intend to fully return overseas to finish out their contracts.
April 29, 2014
A picture of AJ Styles with his new stable, the Bullet Club. The group consists of several guys, including the Young Bucks, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. Styles is currently working for New Japan, where he is rumored to have signed a one year contract.
April 8, 2014
Looks like the marriage bug has bit Luke Gallows. The former WWE star revealed that he is now engaged to his girlfriend, independent wrestler Amber O'Neal. The two have been together for a bit of time, even though Gallows has been working for New Japan quite a bit. Their wedding is expected to be some time in May.
March 27, 2014
While a lot of fans were hoping that he would sign with a promotion in the United States so that they can watch him on television again, it appears that AJ Styles will be signing overseas instead. Word has it that he is close to finalizing a contract with New Japan and should be heading to that country to work a few tours. He may be paired up with Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows and Prince Devitt.
March 6, 2014
While he is currently making a name for himself in Japan, Luke Gallows is still keeping himself busy when he makes visits back to the United States. The former WWE star is booked for independent wrestling shows in Ohio and Pennsylvania this upcoming weekend.
February 20, 2014
While WWE fans are waiting to see if he will sign a developmental contract with the company, Prince Devitt is busy recruiting the world's most famous defector at the moment, CM Punk, to Japan to join his Bullet Club, a stable that also consists of Punk's good friend, Luke Gallows. This special picture was posted on Twitter.
February 14, 2014
Now that Wes Brisco has signed his contract with New Japan, there are talks that Garett Bischoff could be doing the same thing. The two of them could be brought in together, as the promoters can sell that they're both second generation wrestlers and were both with TNA together. They are also both connected with Luke Gallows, who has become quite popular there.
February 13, 2014
Since leaving WWE, David Hart Smith has found a new lease on life by becoming a rising star for New Japan. He is being booked frequently, where he and Lance Hoyt have been involved in the IWGP tag team championship program with Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows. He also posted this picture on Twitter about how great of a shape he is in now.
February 9, 2014
There are speculations going around right now that TNA could be bringing in the Bullet Club, a popular stable in New Japan consisting of Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, Prince Devitt and a couple of other guys, into the company sometimes in 2014. They're gaining steam right now in the industry, and they do have a connection with MVP.
February 8, 2014
New Japan is doing a show in Hiroshima this weekend, and one of the top matches features performers that WWE fans will recognize.

Not surprisingly, Woody, had a big effect on her. After the movie, she spent a lot more time with her older toys. She had a new found appreciation for the toys who comforted her as she made the leap from baby to "big kid". I think that is how I feel about the ThinkStation 30 Series. On August 12, Lenovo introduced the new ThinkStation P Series; the products that will replace the 30 Series. The response has been incredible. The press, customers, hardware and software partners, are all very excited about the new products. And a lot of extremely talented people have worked tirelessly, with an intense focus on the customer, to make the P Series a reality. I think I speak for many of my colleagues when I say, the P Series has truly been a labor of love. But what about 30 Series? What about Woody? Without question, the new ThinkStation P Series takes workstation computing to new heights. But doesn't the 30 Series deserve an appropriate send off? Because, honestly, without the ThinkStation 30 Series, there is no P Series. From the time it was introduced, the 30 Series delivered exactly what you would expect from a Think branded workstation; high quality, ultra-reliable, and of course….it was black. The 30 Series took the Lenovo workstation business from being a baby, and... ]]> http://blog.lenovo.com/reseller-partners/gerry-smith-to-partners-blue-skies-ahead-for-lenovo-and-system-x Michelle Lee 2014-08-29T00:35:30+00:00 Guest blog by Gerry Smith, Executive Vice President, President of Enterprise Product Group and the Americas. Just two weeks ago, Lenovo's pending $2.3 billion transaction to purchase IBM's System x server business was approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). We look forward to closing the transaction, but many channel partners, clients and customers may be wondering: what's next? We have bold plans for future growth with this acquisition, and IBM's x86 employees and products are an important part of that. With the integration of IBM's System x product portfolio, Lenovo will immediately become the number three server manufacturer in the world, combining IBM's technology with our operational excellence to deliver an unparalleled customer and partner experience. We'll be able to offer a complete end-to-end set of enterprise and PC targeted offerings, giving our partners an opportunity to broaden their portfolios and better serve their customers. Analyst Rob Enderle points out, "Given the fact that Lenovo successfully acquired the IBM PC business and changed it from market laggard to market leader, the positive outcome (for the IBM merger) is near certain." This acquisition is a natural extension of the long-term partnership we established with IBM in 2005 after the purchase of its PC business. By leveraging an efficient and proven business model, we became #1 in the PC industry within a decade. We've shown what we can do when Lenovo... ]]> http://blog.lenovo.com/products/lenovo-and-ibm-stronger-together Annabelle Thuan 2014-08-27T13:00:07+00:00 This blog is a collaboration between Annabelle Thuan and Ken Timmons. Annabelle has had several roles at Lenovo and currently works in WW ThinkServer marketing. Ken also works in WW ThinkServer marketing at Lenovo, but many years ago, he was one of the engineers on the original IBM PC. Annabelle: The year was 2005—astronomers discovered the dwarf planet Eris, Condeleeza Rice was sworn in as U.S Secretary of State, and Lenovo was expanding its global mergers and acquisitions footprint by acquiring IBM's PC business. Much like the market buzz surrounding Lenovo's current acquisition of IBM's x86 (Intel-based) server business, the 2005 PC deal raised questions as to how Lenovo would turnaround a division that IBM had labeled a non-strategic business. Of course, we know the moral to the ThinkPad tale—in eight years, Lenovo catapulted ThinkPad's meager seven percent worldwide share into the undisputed global PC leader at more than 18 percent share (*IDC Worldwide, PC Quarterly Tracker, 2Q13). This is how ThinkPad became the ubiquitous black box choice of enterprise and small business alike. It's also how I was introduced to the brand when handed a ThinkPad for work in the early 2000s. What we don't know is how the acquisition affected those involved and what we can learn from their stories and apply today. Enter, my colleague, Ken Timmons. Thirty years ago, he was one of the engineers on the original IBM PC, a... ]]> http://blog.lenovo.com/products/how-to-use-bluetooth-technology Caroline Lalla 2014-08-26T19:30:23+00:00 This post was written by the Lenovo Companion App Content Team. Stream music, share files, print documents and more with Bluetooth wireless technology. Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology that lets you connect computers and devices to each other without cables. Many people have devices—speakers, printers, smartphones, headphones and more—that are Bluetooth-enabled, yet don't know how to take full advantage of this technology. You can easily establish Bluetooth connections and "pair" devices to your Lenovo or Think system to transfer files, make hands-free phone calls and even stream music and movies. Think of Bluetooth as your "personal area network"—a lighter version of more expansive WiFi networking. With it, you can use radio frequencies to connect devices that are within close proximity of each other. Setting Up Bluetooth "Pairing" a Bluetooth device to your system is easy to do. Here's how to get it set up on a Windows 8.1 system: First, be sure your Bluetooth-enabled device is turned on and ready for your computer to recognize it. You may want to check your manufacturer's website for tips on how to make it "discoverable." Next, be sure your computer's Bluetooth is turned on: Swipe in from the right edge of your screen Go to Settings, then Change PC settings Tap or click PC and devices, then Bluetooth Turn Bluetooth on Wait while Windows searches for... ]]> http://blog.lenovo.com/products/live-from-vmworld-its-all-about-getting-the-most-out-of-your-virtualization Andrew Jeffries 2014-08-25T14:53:32+00:00 We are in beautiful San Francisco, CA for the VMworld 2014 Conference.

They are exploring ideas such as a rack containing separate chassis for CPU, memory and storage in hyper-scale computing, or choosing best-of-breed solutions for each tier of an enterprise network. The reasons for exploring these ideas revolve around increasing flexibility in the infrastructure and reducing costs. Generically, this is called disaggregation. Does it make sense to disaggregate your mainstream server? The rate of technology change continues to accelerate. This means adding new capabilities into IT Infrastructures to support new strategic directions. However, integrating these new capabilities into the existing infrastructure can present challenges or missed opportunities. Many times existing servers cannot take full advantage of new technologies. Embedded NICs can't utilize the maximum throughput speed of a new switch, for instance. Perhaps it's as simple as the fast new drives aren't compatible with the drive bays. When it is possible to upgrade using PCIe cards or a similar option, you may still give up manageability or strand the onboard components. When choosing servers in today's world, it makes sense to find servers that can evolve with your infrastructure, without wasting resources or requiring you to buy extra capacity that may never be utilized. Disaggregation of key components may offer a better solution. For more information, see the Lenovo ThinkServer Viewpoint, Server Disaggregation, and look for the new next-generation Lenovo ThinkServer systems coming soon. ]]> http://blog.lenovo.com/products/6-easy-ways-to-extend-your-laptops-battery-life Caroline Lalla 2014-08-20T12:45:37+00:00 This post was written by the Lenovo Companion App Content Team. Laptops are our gateways to all things online. Your high-powered Lenovo or Think notebook will follow you from home to office to coffee shops and back, hour after hour…as long as you take a few steps to maximize the battery's power. The good news is that your advanced Lenovo battery is engineered to adapt charge thresholds and keep the "juices" flowing. So you don't have to worry about adjusting settings—it's all done automatically based on your day-to-day usage. But what if you have a long flight? Or can't find a free power source at the coffee shop? In these instances, the key is finding ways to squeeze as much time as possible out of a single charge. Here are some easy ways to do it on a Windows 8.1 laptop: 1.

The host server architecture is a key component of the private cloud virtual infrastructure. The cost-performance sweet spot for virtualization hosting is typically an x86 server featuring two-socket multi-core processors. Historically, virtualization scalability has been constrained by processor and memory limitations. However, advances in processor technology yield impressive virtualization ratios. With the virtual-to-physical ratios enabled by multi-core processor advances and supporting memory, it doesn't matter what the size of the company is, everyone can benefit from a private cloud. Before you dismiss this as cloud washing, consider: a two-socket/twelve-core physical server based on the current Intel Xeon processor platform can theoretically support up to 192 virtual machines in a private cloud environment. Depending on the rack configuration (including servers, storage, networking and backup power), that's the equivalent of four or five racks of servers supporting single applications now consolidated on a single server. Factor in the cost of power, cooling and physical maintenance and we're considering serious savings that no one can afford to overlook. However, relying solely on server processing and memory capacity is no longer the sole criteria for server selection. Server consolidation of this magnitude also requires significant network bandwidth to satisfy the demand of so many applications and services. Supported applications can become resource-starved while awaiting network response. The network architecture of a server is frequently an overlooked topic and many organizations simply rely... ]]> http://blog.lenovo.com/products/the-easiest-way-to-share-content-lenovos-shareit-app Robert Straub 2014-08-15T16:25:46+00:00 Do you ever need to transfer files quickly from one device to the other?

Due to the tooling investment required, the design platform also has to be designed to last for as long as 5 years. It's a far cry from designing the fall fashion collection for the next "runway" in Milan. It's about expressing and enhancing functionality through inspired design for a very specific and demanding audience. To develop such a targeted design takes strong understanding of their wants and needs, a robust technical knowledge of how high performance computers work and a creative spirit that can turn requirements into meaningful design. The people who buy workstations are the same kind of people who appreciate the functional ethos and aesthetic of a full bore military issue Humvee! They are not fooled by the superficial. I personally have always found this type of design not only very challenging, but also rewarding. I enjoy solving technical problems and have always liked to analyze and create the design of utilitarian objects. During my career I've designed underground trenching equipment, industrial lawn mowers, camping gear and computers that have all celebrated functionality. As with any design project, you have to start somewhere. Knowing the customer is certainly crucial, but you ultimately have to synthesize a lot of information into design specifics. What I've learned over the years is that distilling the design... ]]>

The Senior Bowl is in need of a sixth quarterback, and at the Shrine Game Eastern Illinois' Jimmy Garoppolo is making a case to be that player. In the third day of Shrine practices, Eric Galko of Optimum Scouting points out Garoppolo showed off his quick release and a nice pump fake. Jeff Risdon at Detroit Lions Draft said Garoppolo has "picture perfect delivery and accuracy."
One player that Risdon sees as inconsistent is Syracuse defensive tackle Jay Bromley. The story on Bromley is that he's a gap-shooting defensive tackle. Power can be an issue for Bromley, and Risdon notes that he doesn't have anchor strength. Galko considered Bromley the best defensive lineman on Wednesday because he constantly provided disruption.
Steve Shoup from Hogs Haven is out at Shrine practices as well. In his East write-up, he notes that Michigan wide receiver Jeremy Gallon should be able to make a living as a slot receiver. Via Dane Brugler of CBS Sports, one scout came away impressed with Galon as well.
The main purpose of all-star games, obviously, is to give players an opportunity to impress. If a player had a down year and looks good during practices, it will for evaluators to go back to the tape a second time. That may be the case for Wisconsin defensive tackle Beau Allen. As Galko notes in his West notes, Allen showed a good initial push while remaining active in his lower half.
Bucky Brooks of NFL.com came away impressed with Ball State quarterback Keith Wenning. Here's what he had to say:
He flashes superior anticipation and awareness releasing the ball well before his receivers make breaks. If Wenning can continue to build on his solid start this week, he will force scouts to revisit their grades on him from the fall.
Make sure to check out the latest video from Emory Hunt of Football Gameplan:

Urban and Community Forestry
Under the authority of the Urban Forestry Act (PRC 4799.06 - 4799.12) the Urban & Community Forestry Program works to expand and improve the management of trees and related vegetation in communities throughout California.
The mission of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection's Urban Forestry Program is to lead the effort to advance the development of sustainable urban and community forests in California. Trees provide energy conservation, reduction of storm-water runoff, extend the life of surface streets, improve local air, soil and water quality, reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide, improve public health, provide wildlife habitat and increase property values. In short, they improve the quality of life in our urban environments which, increasingly, are where Californians live, work, and play.
Seven Urban Forestry Field Specialists provide expert urban forestry support to communities, non-profit groups and other municipal governments to create and maintain sustainable urban forests. These specialists also administer and provide technical support for grants that are offered under Propositions 40 and 84 for activities such as tree planting, municipal tree inventories and management plans, urban forest educational efforts, and innovative urban forestry projects. These grants utilized to assist communities throughout California advance their urban forestry efforts.
The program's mission is accomplished in cooperation with many groups including: California ReLeaf, a non-profit organization that coordinates grants to local groups, USFS Center for Urban Forest Research, urban forest researchers located in Davis Urban Forestry Ecosystem Institute, at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, urban forestry education and applied research. California Urban Forest Council, a statewide non-profit comprised of diverse membership that advocates for the best possible urban forests in California. CAL FIRE's Fire and Resource Assessment Program (FRAP), which provides a variety of products including a detailed report on California's forests and rangelands. FRAP provides extensive technical and public information for statewide fire threat, fire hazard, watersheds, socio-economic conditions, environmental indicators, and forest-related climate change.
Other partners include, other state agencies, non-profit organizations, private urban forestry and arboricultural companies, power and utility companies, cities, counties, special districts, and professional organizations.
These varied partners are brought together via the Director's advisory committee for urban and community forestry, the California Urban Forestry Advisory Committee (CUFAC). Together they discuss trends, address concerns, develop suggestions for consideration by CAL FIRE management, and provide support and information to their local communities on urban forestry issues.
California's State Urban Forestry Program also works with our Fire Prevention Program in advocating fire-safe landscaping for homeowners and communities. Landscape design, tree selection and especially maintenance are critical elements in reducing the spread of fire and the risk to adjacent buildings. Even well-designed landscapes can become hazardous if not properly maintained. The program encourages compliance with the 100-foot defensible space requirement for communities in the urban wildland interface areas (PRC 4291) and offers suggestions for types of trees, landscape designs and pruning methods to assist homeowners in meeting that standard.
CAL FIRE Urban and Community Forestry is dedicated to California's efforts under AB32 to adapt to and mitigate Climate Change. An approved Urban Forestry project reporting and project accounting protocol are now available. A summary of the protocols and how urban forestry projects can contribute to achieving climate change goals is also available.

Retirees a boon for PB County?
- 12:31 pm Saturday, May 7th, 2011 by Opinion Staff

And for Palm Beach County, the most recent Census shows, the stereotype holds mostly true.
As The Post reported Thursday, the 2010 Census data show that the number of people 65 and older has risen 8.8 percent since 2000. That percentage actually didn't rise quite as much as other demographics, but it is expected to rise more rapidly now that the first Baby Boomers have turned 65.
Palm Beach County now has overtaken Miami-Dade County to claim Florida's largest number of people who are 85 and older. There are 49,205 Palm Beach County [More]
