What are the sources of lactose in the diet?
Although milk and foods made from milk are the only natural sources of lactose, lactose often is "hidden" in prepared foods to which it has been added. People with very low tolerance for lactose should know about the many food products that may contain lactose, even in small amounts. Food products that may contain lactose include:
- bread and other baked goods;
- processed breakfast cereals;
- instant potatoes, soups, and breakfast drinks;
- margarine;
- lunch meats (except those that are kosher);
- salad dressings;
- candies and other snacks; and
- mixes for pancakes, biscuits, and cookies.
Some products labeled nondairy, such as powdered coffee creamer and whipped toppings, also may include ingredients that are derived from milk and, therefore, contain lactose.
Smart shoppers learn to read food labels with care, looking not only for milk and lactose in the contents but also for such words as whey, curds, milk by-products, dry milk solids, and nonfat dry milk powder. If any of these are listed on a label, the item contains lactose.
In addition to food sources, lactose can be "hidden" in medicines. Lactose is used as the base for many prescription and over-the-counter medications. Many types of birth control pills, for example, contain lactose, as do some tablets used for stomach acid and gas. However, these products typically affect only people with severe lactose intolerance because they contain such small amounts of lactose.
How is lactose intolerance treated?
Dietary changes
The most obvious means of treating lactose intolerance is by reducing the amount of lactose in the diet. Fortunately, most people who are lactose intolerant can tolerate small or even moderate amounts of lactose. It often takes only elimination of the major milk-containing products to obtain sufficient relief from their symptoms. Thus, it may be necessary to eliminate only milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, and ice cream. Though yogurt contains large amounts of lactose, it often is well-tolerated by lactose intolerant people. This may be so because the bacteria used to make yogurt contain lactase, and the lactase is able to split some of the lactose during storage of the yogurt as well as after the yogurt is eaten (in the stomach and intestine). Yogurt also has been shown to empty more slowly from the stomach than an equivalent amount of milk. This allows more time for intestinal lactase to split the lactose in yogurt, and, at least theoretically, would result in less lactose reaching the colon.
Most supermarkets carry milk that has had the lactose already split by the addition of lactase. Substitutes for milk also are available, including soy and rice milk. Acidophilus-containing milk is not beneficial since it contains as much lactose as regular milk, and acidophilus bacteria do not split lactose.
For individuals who are intolerant to even small amounts of lactose, the dietary restrictions become more severe. Any purchased product containing milk must be avoided. It is especially important to eliminate prepared foods containing milk purchased from the supermarket and dishes from restaurants that have sauces.
Another means to reduce symptoms of lactose intolerance is to ingest any milk-containing foods during meals. Meals (particularly meals containing fat) reduce the rate at which the stomach empties into the small intestine. This reduces the rate at which lactose enters the small intestine and allows more time for the limited amount of lactase to split the lactose without being overwhelmed by the full load of lactose at once. Studies have shown that the absorption of lactose from whole milk, which contains fat, is greater than from non-fat milk, perhaps for this very reason. Nevertheless, the substitution of whole milk or yogurt for non-fat milk or yogurt does not seem to reduce the symptoms of lactose intolerance.
Lactase enzyme
Caplets or tablets of lactase are available to take with milk-containing foods.
Some people find that by slowly increasing the amount of milk or milk-containing products in their diets they are able to tolerate larger amounts of lactose without developing symptoms. This adaptation to increasing amounts of milk is not due to increases in lactase in the intestine. Adaptation probably results from alterations in the bacteria in the colon. Increasing amounts of lactose entering the colon change the colonic environment, for example, by increasing the acidity of the colon. These changes may alter the way in which the colonic bacteria handle lactose. For example, the bacteria may produce less gas. There also may be a reduction in the secretion of water and, therefore, less diarrhea.
Calcium and vitamin D supplements
Milk and milk-containing products are the best sources of dietary calcium, so it is no wonder that calcium deficiency is common among lactose intolerant persons. This increases the risk and severity of osteoporosis and the resulting bone fractures. It is important, therefore, for lactose intolerant persons to supplement their diets with calcium. A deficiency of vitamin D also causes disease of the bones and fractures. Milk is fortified with vitamin D and is a major source of vitamin D for many people. Although other sources of vitamin D can substitute for milk, it is a good idea for lactose-intolerant persons to take supplemental vitamin D to prevent vitamin D deficiency.

A Cheektowaga man was sentenced last week to a year in jail for defrauding an 85-year-old homeowner of about $18,450, according to the Erie County District Attorney's Office.
Leslie "Les" Ralston, 32, of Brookfield Lane, also signed a confession of judgment to pay back all of the money.
Ralston pleaded guilty last month to third-degree grand larceny before Erie County Judge Kenneth F. Case.
Ralston told the woman that squirrels had damaged her roof and that he would repair the roof, according to District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III. Squirrels had not damaged the roof and Ralston did no repair work, officials said.
The crime happened between Dec. 4, 2011 and Jan. 18, 2012.

Can you define these popular missing words?
A term referring to someone addicted to psychoactive drugs, opiates in particular, and especially those using heroin (an opiate). The term was coined during WW1 when heroin or morphine addicts collected and sold scrap metal (junk) for a higher price to buy their drugs. After this, heroin and morphine themselves began to be known as "junk" and the users of said drugs became known as "junkies".

HTC One X specs review
0. phoneArena 29 Feb 2012, 06:34 posted on
Starting April 5, we will be able to buy HTC's best Android phone so far, the One X. Let's dig a bit deeper to find out what we will be spending our pretty penny on, compared to all the other enticing options that landed on the MWC showfloor these days...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

I'll wait for SGS3.

I'm with you. I like HTC but, Sammy is making better phones. I love my RAZR™ but I'm dying for the Galaxy Note and that 5.3" screen on Big Red.
9. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1033; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
I have the Inspire 4G from AT&T and the phone is too small. im a big man (6'7" 235lbs) and I need a big phone. When I saw the Note at a best buy store here in St. Louis, I said........"DAMN, I gotta have this phone now!! it looks even better in person lol"
12. PAPINYC (banned) (Posts: 2315; Member since: 30 Jul 2011)
Yep'. Although I'm not as big as you, nevertheless, I appreciate bigness. I too went in to personally marvel and drool at the 'Note' and played with the stylus; brought back fond memories of my SGH-i700 and XV6600.
I would sell my RAZR™ and Lapdock and just throw in the $$ difference for this full retail (on Big Red).

My friend actually had the droid bionic but he changed it for the Galaxy Note and he didnt like it because since it was to big ,he couldnt put it on his pocket so he had to hold it all the time
6. redmd (Posts: 1269; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
^ you got me. I'm still enjoying my Galaxy Note but I'm beginning to feel envious of those quad beasts. But only the Note have the 800 x 1280 pixels of AMOLED goodness.

lol..... my only saving grace and "size" satisfaction is my original Galaxy Tab (which I wish could be my phone, at least here in the U.S.) Don't understand wht T-Mo was allowed to block the "phone" feature?? (And, yes I know that it can be unlocked but then you lose 3G Data - no thank you.)

11. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1033; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
As much as the Quad-core phones are great, what about the battery life. The advantage Samsung has had on HTC has been battery life. If they can say that the battery will hold for longer than a few hours, then this would be a better sell for me. I bought the PowerSkin for the Inspire 4G because I was tired of my phone dying on me so quickly

Well i like the one x sense 4.0 is amazing. It suxks they webt dual core in a quad core world and a crap dragon no less. The phone looks nice otherwise except that small battery. On a side not lets get off benchmarks already lets look at stats and preformance when the phone comes out. Dr. Phil please don't troll this post I am not responding to you anymore its over stop bringing up a dead argument your trying so hard to win be ause Apparntly snapdragon has fanboyz now. Go ahead and buy a dual core phone when the tegra 4 and the new exnos will drop in the sgs3. With quad core already out.

24. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
Looking at the table above I see the LG optimus 4x hd, hauwei ascend, and the Zte era. With many other companies preparing their quad core devices very soon. MWC was all about quad core.
26. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
Also not to mention tablets are already released with quad core. Quad core world was just a figure of speech being that all flagships phones from here on out will be quad core. Expect for the iPhone. But thats just apple being apple.
23. KParks23 (Posts: 620; Member since: 13 Oct 2010)
Yup ur not trolling at all duel core in a quad core world.. and calling it a crapdragon. When the performance of the chip is right there in front of ur face proving u been wrong for the past week and proving that the s4 is just if not more powerful than the t3 and when the adreno 3 series comes out in another month or so that slight edge that the t3 does have in the gpu will be blown away.
25. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
You wan't to go in the future? Ok well how about the tegra 4 or the new exynos or the new omap. If you really wanted to go there lets go because real a15 cortex comes out and quad core very very soon. You don't want to go into the future with me. I will address the rest of your points with bullets from now on.
- Snapdragon processors have historically been weaker then the competition and they finally have realized a competitive dual core processors during an event all about the quad core processor. Crapdragon (thanks remixfa) is very accurate indeed.
-First of all the s4 isn't even out yet the tegra 3 is. Lets see how it fairs once it actually comes out. Being the fact its a dual core its off to a very disappointing start.
- And once again you respond to troll my post what a surprise.

Qualcomm has a new s4 quad core chip to compete with these other chips... And the s4 duel core is based off the a15.. I feel sorry for remixfa he makes 1 wrong post and u start throwing his name and comment around as facts... And were not talking about the future were talking about the tegra3 and the duel core s4.. ok let me ask u what is so disappointing about this duel core s4 processor than? Cuz all the facts are right at the top of the page but to bad ur stuck in denile.
30. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
His post wasn't wrong it was correct. You guys just refuse to admit that.
-Its disappointing because its dual core
-Disappointing Gpu
-It does not have the performance of an A15 its less then that.
- The international version has a better processor.
- Its killed by Hauwei's processor as well.
- I rest my case.
31. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
down with Krait version1
guys, just a hair after they launch this phone, they are relaunching Krait with the 3xx series GPUs which bring a 2-4x performance boost from this version of Krait
You guys keep wanting to say Krait is an "A15", when its not. Its still more comparable to an A9 right now. Its about 30% better than the basic A9 specs but its not up to A15 snuff. Its about on the same level as the A9 exynos 4210 (galaxy S2) in power/GPU/ proposed battery usage.
Once it has the Adreno 3xx GPUs in it, then it will be more comparable to an A15. Just like I keep saying.. over n over. This first chip is a place holder to "be one of the first". The good S4 chips wont be here till later this year.
Remixfa on if its an a15 equivalent. Witch it really isn't closer to an a9 if you ask me in-between the two in reality.
there are some things the krait generation1 will be better than a T3 at, but for most things, the T3 is still the better chip. period.
Remixfa on the two processors
What I have been saying the T3 is better
65. lilmoe (Posts: 7; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)

34. AppleHateBoy (unregistered)
Stop calling it Crapdragon. Are you jealous because these chips are so efficient as compared to others?
43. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
as compared to what exactly? its a crapdragon. the S2 and S3 were horrible chips. The S4 only looks OK when compared to last year's line up, not to this year's line up. I dont see any Exynos 4212 dual cores, 4xxx or 5xxx quadcores, the T4, or the Omap5 in those benchmarks.. which are all 2012 chips.
Also, the test was done on a blank reference device. More than likely those scores will go down when they are loaded with all the overlays and bloat that a real phone gets.
The S4 is the first of the "2012 lineup", and when you look at the full line up of 2012 chips, its the weakest one. Its a stop gap with a crap GPU on it which wont get a "2012 strength" GPU until christmas at best when it gets retrofitted with the Adreno 320GPU
44. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
This. I didn't know about the blank reference device but I expected something like this was going down.
46. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1176; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
The argument isn't over it's comparison to the Tegra 4 chipset or the new Exynos. That would be a stupid argument to pose because the new Tegra 4 chip, which I have to add nVidia is trying to push out quickly because they realized the A9 was outdated for 2012, is based on A15 architecture which will of course be better. The argument was about how the S4 compares to the Tegra 3, which as you can see it does compare quite well to the Tegra 3. We have already posted numerous sources doing numerous testing that have found the S4 chip to be both better in real-world testing as well as in benchmarks to the Tegra 3 chipset. This is becasue there are no applications or even Android 4.0 itself that uses all 4 cores or anymore than 2 cores. So, because almost all applications use at most 2 cores, the S4 chip is better. Now I'm the one done arguing this one.
47. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1176; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
Forgot to put that the GPU of the nVidia is better though. And if you were to find testing of an application that uses more than 2 cores, then it would obviously be to the Tegra 3's advantage. Again, my argument was that the S4 is comparable to the Tegra 3. You may find some tests that show the Tegra 3 having an advantage but it is not by much. I mean we could be sitting here arguing over a minute difference and that isn't my goal. My goal is just to prove that the S4 chip wasn't a bad alternative to the Tegra 3 chip. This is NOT the same thing, in my opinion, as putting an S3 chipset in place of an Exynos (although contrary to what I have just said, I have seen several reviews of people saying in real world testing they couldn't find much difference). And I have noted before that if you want to future-proof yourself and buy a Tegra 3 handset, then that is fine with me.
51. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
You just don't get it. Also just to clear things up I said it would me nice if HTC made their own but them not using qualcomm would be a good start.
59. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
u dont seem to understand how a program works. once its optimized for multi-core, it can use 2 ,4, 6,20 cores. they call it "dual core optimized" as a laymens term. its technically "multicore optimized" as there is no arbitrary limit to 2 cores.
so any app that is dual core optimized is automatically optimized for the T3, which means all 4 cores of the T3 will be firing.
Again, ur comparing a reference device to a commercial device. dont get your panties in a bunch until we compare real product to real product.
63. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1176; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
Yeah, and you aren't taking into account that while all four cores may be used in ICS itself (not the applications yet) it doesn't mean it's automatically better. The S4 chip is more efficient in how it processes items than the Tegra 3 processor. You may have a car that can go 200 mph, but it doesn't help if there's a 75 mph speed limit. That is basically what is wrong with the Tegra 3 chipset. The A9 cortex is not as efficient with memory as well as with its processing as the A15. Therefore, the added cores of the Tegra 3 allows it to be on par (or even slightly better) with a dual-core A15 processor.
48. KParks23 (Posts: 620; Member since: 13 Oct 2010)
Dr. Phil I guess some people just don't get it.. we are comparing the s4 to the t3 not to the other chips there wrong so now they start talking about the ti and sammy chips lol.. we have already proved bio is a idiot rambling on about HTC Making there own chipsets Haha.. and this remixfa is prolly some low level sales rep and works along ppl recommending app killers and stuff lol.
52. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1176; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
I know I am trying to stop but it does make me somewhat angry that there is someone out there putting down a chipset without even really knowing about it. And then, no matter how many sources you put out there saying that it's a very good chipset and is a good replacement to the Tegra 3, it's like they still say "Crapdragon" or that it will suck. I think I am done arguing this one, but watch him troll future posts making more bogus claims about who knows what else. If the GSIII comes out with a 2000 mAh battery, he'll probably say it sucks in comparison to Motorola's 3300 mAh battery even if you prove it is more efficient than the Motorola.
41. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1176; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
I have to respond when you are calling me out now. Nowhere did I say I was a Snapdragon fanboy. If you were to call me any kind of fanboy it would be for the Exynos processor. I was just trying to make you stop making such bogus claims with nothing to back it up. There are people out there that do like the S4 chip and I think they would be offended to see you make these claims based on nothing. You can say you don't like Snapdragon because of its name or who makes it, that's fine with me. My point again is: stop going on here bashing a processor you have so little knowledge about and claiming another one is better without any backup to your claims. If you had presented evidence to the contrary then I would have been fine. But you don't.

Look at remixfa's post up top.
60. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
there is no "evidence". there is a single test by anandtech with an optimized reference device vs commercial devices. Those scores will change (up or down) when its released into the real world.
And again, those scores are all compared to 2011 chips, not 2012 chips. Lets see how u keep on chanting the glory of crapdragon once the 2012 chips arrive.. exynos 4xxx/5xxx, omap5 and T4.
The T3 just like the crapdragon S4 with adreno 225 is a stopgap chip to try to be "first to market". And thus, both have flaws and neither will be in the market very long after the real chips come out. (T4, S4 w/ adreno 320, Exynos 4412 dual, 4xxx quad, 5xxx quad, Omap5)

Again we are only comparing the s4 to the t3 so now ur stating u don't even know how they compare to each other all we want is bio to stop spamming about the t3 blowing the s4 away when there have not been any test at all and what we have seen shows there pretty comparable
62. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1176; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
THIS WAS ABOUT COMPARING THE TEGRA 3 CHIPSET TO THE S4 IT WAS NOT ABOUT COMPARING IT TO THE TEGRA 4. Once again, this whole argument arose because biophone wrongly said that it was stupid for the AT&T version to have the S4 in place of the Tegra 3. PLEASE NOTE THAT I SAID TEGRA 3 NOT TEGRA 4. Also, here is my quote from my PREVIOUS statement on page 2:
"The argument isn't over it's comparison to the Tegra 4 chipset or the new Exynos. That would be a stupid argument to pose because the new Tegra 4 chip, which I have to add nVidia is trying to push out quickly because they realized the A9 was outdated for 2012, is based on A15 architecture which will of course be better. The argument was about how the S4 compares to the Tegra 3."
You both need to go back to school and learn how to read because this is seriously annoying. And you just said in your own comment what we have been saying all along: the Tegra 3 chipset is just as flawed as the S4 chipset and they are both comparable.
So thank you for being a numbskull and basically arguing against yourself. That is what you are doing now, because I would like for you to show me where I said I was saying that the S4 was better than the Tegra 4, the new Exynos, or the TI OMAP 5 series. I am seriously waiting for that quote in which I said that.
66. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
you completely missed the point of what i was saying. obviously I'm not the only one that needs to go back to school. OMG.. lol.
My point was that you guys are throwing up some sort of "victory" flag because you are comparing a 2012 chipset to 2011 chips. yaaaaaaay. When the 2012 chips come out, the S4 with A225 and T3 are not even going to be on the radar.
Saying that the T3 and the S4 chips are stopgaps does not contradict my arguement one way or the other. I am quite aware of what the arguement is about. Both chips ARE stopgap chips.
Also, why was Bio wrong for wanting ATT to have the T3 over the S4? Is he not entitled to his opinion? If he doesnt get LTE in his area, but plays a lot of games, the T3 chip is the clear leader of the 2 chips in performance. For many of the tests they are near even (even though the T3 is pushing nearly double the pixels and still manages to keep up and edge out the S4), but when it comes to GPU, the T3 has it in spades where the S4 sucks garbage.
BTW, Anandtech got ahold of the 1x-T3 and the 1s-S4 and did some benchmarks on them. Amazingly they do not match the reference device benchmarks you guys are touting.. its like.. i was right.. again.
"Keep that difference in mind as the One X (T3) does have more (around 77%) pixels than the One S (S4)."
67. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1176; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
What victory flag? Where did I say my goal was to claim victory for the S4? Please point to where I said I was trying to say the S4 was better than the Tegra 3. I said they were COMPARABLE. I do think you need to go back to school and perhaps learn how to read and understand what we were saying. I am sure if you asked KPark he would say that was his goal of this too. It wasn't about claiming victory for the S4 chipset at all. I even just said I like Exynos over both of them so what does that say? You are coming on here without knowing what we were arguing about to begin with. Again, we were arguing that the replacement of the S4 chip to the Tegra 3 WAS NOT a bad replacement as biophone is making it out to be. Can you please understand what I am saying now?
And this WAS NOT about biophone saying he preferred the Tegra 3 over the S4. IT WAS NOT ABOUT THAT. Please just go back to a previous article, I believe it was when they first announced it and look at what biophone was writing. And look at my OWN comments. I even just said on the previous page that my goal was to stop him from blasting the S4 chipset as a bad processor in comparison to the Tegra 3 when you and I both know they are both not great in terms of what's coming out later on this year and that they are both COMPARABLE to each other in performance. He was trying to repeatedly claim the Tegra 3 chipset was like this godly processor in comparison to everything else which is WRONG.
And yes I HAVE AGAIN REPEATEDLY SAID THE TEGRA 3 HAS A BETTER GPU.
I swear this is seriously making me angry and I am not trying to blame you because I think you just came on here in the middle of it, but I am seriously telling you right now to please go back and look at my comments and look at where I was coming from. I was trying to stop him from completely blasting a chipset as saying the Tegra 3 is miles above the S4 when myself and others have said they are comparable in performance other than GPU.
Just please take the time and go back and seriously look at what biophone has said in previous articles and I think you too would be mad that he just completely blasted a chipset without even knowing about it. I am not saying you can't prefer one chipset over another. I just said I prefer the Exynos chipset over everything else, but I am trying to look out for those people who perhaps are Qualcomm supporters that don't like when their chipset is being bad-mouthed without any clear evidence.

As much as I would like to see Quad core in the At&t version, I still think I will be happy with the performance of HTC One XL. I am still currently using the first Dual core "Atrix" and having no problem with it. It's not the fastest phone out there but it can keep out my usage. It is perfectly okay with me to wait about two more second for a page to load. But I do worry about the battery life on this phone. Let's see what can this phone can do when it comes out :)

God, please forgive me for all those times I called iPhone users stubborn and stupid. Forgive me for calling them ifanboys and acussing them of blind worship of a brand, because it seems (based on a lot of youtube and other comments) that Samsung fanboys have reached their level of worship...maybe even worse. For I have witnessed thousands, if not millions calling out for SGS3 in LG, HTC, Huawei and other threads.They want their God to appear, they feel the need to spread their faith and worship to everyone else. They have sworn an oath to wait for THE DEVICE to rule them all and they feel the constant need to write about it everywhere they can.
God, please forgive them, for they have reached, and surpassed, the iPhone fanboys.

Good point.. just wait until the Summer when the iPhone 5 rumors start ramping up though :)
50. Jillsandwich (Posts: 62; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
Yeah.. no. I admit calling for the next SGS is kind of annoying, but it's not anywhere near the level of obnoxious that iPhone users have historically done since the first iPhone. SGS hopefuls don't :
: Act like Samsung invented the wheel with the SGS
: Don't act like they're in a class above others because they own an SGS. Seriously, watch any Youtube video and you'll see the typical fagphone user saying Android users are "cheap"
: Act like they're smartphone geniuses even though they've really owned one smartphone (SGS)
: Aren't uninfirned consumers.
So, no. While the SGS3 nuthugging his annoying, it doesn't border on the cult-like mentality that Apple instills on iOS users. And for what it's worth, the SGS2 was a device that was really ahead of it's time in the Android world, at least in multi-core devices.

"The f/2.0 lens on the HTC One X and HTC One S offers best-in-class performance, capturing 40 percent more light than the f/2.4 lenses available on other high-end phones."
I think that should be 50% more light? f2.0 allows twice the amount of light than f2.8, so f2.0 should allow 50% more than f2.4...I think?
Someone that knows more about photography than I care to chime in?

I guess they are using Logarithm or trigonometry or something else.

"HTC claims that it has laminated the Gorilla Glass cover and the touch layer to eliminate reflection"
Really? When did they say this?
This should be awesome. Super AMOLED laminated the touch layer and AMOLED. Now HTC laminated all the three layers. Nice.

Child neglect cases down in West Virginia

child neglect down. well thats just to bad. id like to see a few more smart mouth 10 year old and under kids back handed alittle more. maybe the crime rate would go down. let parents be parents and beat the snot out of there kids like i had done to me by my dad when i acted up. and guess what, i still love him and became sucessful in life and never used drugs. imagine that.

I don't believe that the cases are down it's just they are not being reported as much. A lot of people don't want to get involved in other peoples business anymore. And of course what I think is so dumb in my mind is when they come out to check on the family that they received a call about, they call and let them know when they will be coming. So if someone is doing drugs in their home and their kids are dirty, running free and possibly hungry, they make sure it looks as good as possible. If they would show up without calling then they would see the real deal to how the children are being taken care of. And sad part also is the same people who are not taking care of their children are the same people who are abusing their elderly parents. I know people who don't take care of their children they are dirty and hungry who also take care of a elderly parent and treats them the same way. They look at them as a check. And meds the elderly parent may get is used to get high with. So sad.

Kim Kardashian and family once again left home, this time for a somber reason.
The reality starlet and Kanye West went to Oklahoma with 2-month-old daughter North on Saturday for the funeral for the rapper's grandfather, Portwood Williams Sr., who died on Aug. 10 at 98 years old.
"That's why they weren't at [sister] Kylie's birthday," a source confirms to PEOPLE. "They brought North, too. Her first trip."
Back in February, Williams voiced his approval for his grandson's girlfriend, calling Kardashian "beautiful."
"And she's just as sweet as she is beautiful," he told New York's Daily News. "That's what I liked about her!"
Because they weren't able to celebrate Jenner's Sweet 16th party on Saturday, the couple – who welcomed their new addition on June 15 – sent some very special guests in their replacement: hip-hop artists Drake and Big Sean.
The rest of the family, including Khloé Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and parents Kris and Bruce Jenner, were in attendance at the Alice in Wonderland-themed bash, reports E! News.

It's been days now, and I passed by the bag of Pita Chips on my counter and sighed. I decided to give it another go, practically dismembering my Windex-coated hand. With a concentrated breathing technique and closed eyes I twisted that thing right off, well, thing is that I imagined it so vividly in my mind and thought I'd slid it right off and opened my eyes to see it hadn't even BUDGED. But I focused even harder and long story short it's off. I am not sure if my finger will always be this misshapen? And that skin will grow back. But all is well.
Last night we took the kids to dinner. I truly do enjoy going out to eat, all six of us. Only, in this diner we didn't fit anywhere and had to take up two booths. And look how sweet Carter & Gray are.
Of course this was the very next shot. (Thankfully moments earlier I confiscated his knife.)

CLEMSON — Eventually, Tanner Smith's going to trade in his jersey for a suit and tie, his high-tops for wingtips, his playing days for a coaching career.
What: Four-year Clemson guard Tanner Smith hosts youth skills camp
Who: Kids entering third grade through ninth grade
Where: Easley Recreation Center, "Red" Owens Complex
When: July 15-18, 9 a.m.-noon (grades 3-5), 1-4 p.m. (grades 6-9)
Cost: $100 pre-registered, $120 walk-ups
More information: TSskillscamp.weebly.com and EasleyRec.com
That time is not now, though. Smith, the beloved four-year letterman and three-year starter who spent 2008-12 as a Clemson basketball guard, was so grateful for his first professional season overseas that he thought he'd return to western Europe for round two.
After spending more than eight months in an entry-level league in the Netherlands last winter, Smith officially announced the news via his Twitter account Tuesday he has signed with Neckar Riesen in Ludwigsburg, Germany, for the 2013-14 season.
"It is in a much better league than I was in this year. I'm really excited about it," Smith told The Post & Courier Tuesday. "I really enjoyed going over there this year; it's a great opportunity to see the world, play basketball and get paid to do that. I couldn't ask for anything better."
But first things first. Smith spent his Tuesday morning working out at Littlejohn Coliseum, getting his lift in as he prepares to host his first skills camp for youth players next week in nearby Easley.
"I've always loved going to camps when I was a kid. Some of my best friends, the first time I met them was in basketball camp," Smith said. "There's something exciting about being in camp — you can't wait to get there and you're upset when you have to leave.
He'll be joined by fellow 2012 graduates Andre Young and Bryan Narcisse. The fourth member of that group, 7-2 center Catalin Baciu, is playing professionally in Romania.
"We had a very close class," Smith said. "We went through a lot of different things together, and so it's nice for us all to be together and just have a good time and teach some kids, and for us to get back together and catch up."
Smith isn't a top-10 performer in Clemson basketball history — his highest rungs in the school record books are tied for ninth in games played and 11th in steals — and he never qualified for an all-ACC squad. But he was a four-time All-ACC academic performer, and he left with the adoration of Tigers fans as well as the respect of his teammates.
"It's nice that (head coach Brad) Brownell lets me come back and hang with these guys, give them a little advice I got just from a year playing over there, and allowing myself to work on my game for next season," Smith said.
Smith did get one week back during last season in February. He attended the Tigers' 56-53 win at Georgia Tech and 46-43 home loss to No. 3-ranked Miami, a close call which ended up the first of seven straight defeats to conclude a dismal 13-18 campaign.
It was a tough year indeed in Brownell's third season: no winning streaks longer than two games, and the first season absent of a win over a ranked opponent since 2005-06. Smith saw most of the games on television, using a Slingbox hooked up to his television in Holland six time zones away.
"They know as well as anybody it's going to be another difficult season, but they were a couple possessions away from having a solid season last year," Smith said. "But it's all about experience and learning how to finish games. They learned a lot of valuable lessons, I think, last year."
As for Smith, he was one of four Americans on last year's Landstede roster in Zwolle, including ex-Michigan guard Zack Novak. Smith led the squad with 18.2 points per game in a league where arenas ranged from 3,000 to 7,000 seats and everyone spoke English (though Dutch is the national language.)
"You've really got to love basketball," Smith said. "You're just over there for such a long time, you're in a place where you're not used to, you're away from your family and friends. TV's different, going to the grocery store's different, everything's different. It was a great experience for my first year."
Smith, 23, is forever tied to his Tanner's Totes initiative, which originated in sixth grade when he wanted to deliver toys and supplies to kids fighting cancer in honor of his father, Craig, a cancer survivor who continues to battle graft-versus-host disease. An Alpharetta, Ga., native, Smith first spread the project in the Atlanta area, then made his first out-of-state delivery on May 20, 2005, to MUSC Children's Hospital in Charleston.
More than 10 years after Tanner's Totes was born, it's now international.
"It was really amazing this year — I was able to deliver a few totes over in the Netherlands," Smith said. "When I first started this in sixth grade, I didn't even know what Europe looked like on the map. So I couldn't have even imagined being able to do that."
So now, Smith prepares to take his game to Germany, the Netherlands' neighbor to the east. It's a one-year deal. They all are.
"I don't know how long I'll play. It's going to be a year-by-year thing," Smith said. "Every summer, I'll reevaluate, because eventually I do want to get into coaching. I'd like to learn from some people, be a grad assistant, basketball operations guy. And then kind of see what happens.
"I don't know what doors will open for me as I continue down that road, but I have no idea when that will start."

Aston Martin Rapide S: It's a Beauty, It's a Blast
The British marque's new sedan overcomes its iffy ergonomics with high luxury, robust performance and sheer gorgeousness
MY RETIREMENT PLAN: One day, I will acquire a Series II Aston Martin Lagonda (1976-90), an implausibly low four-door luxury saloon with cubist edges and NASA-style instrumentation, nothing less than a time capsule of 1970s optimism and naiveté. I will then spend the rest of my natural life rebuilding the car's electric systems.
The William Towns-designed Lagonda was the most beautiful road car ever produced by the dear old firm, once based in mildewed sheds at Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, England, but now, in the modern era, located in Gaydon, in Warwickshire. Running a close second in the looks department is our test car, the new Rapide S, a four-door version of the aluminum-chassis DB9 coupe with a newly revised 5.9-liter, naturally aspirated V12 (550 horsepower, up from the previous 470 hp). Aston has dubbed this version of the dozen-pump the Gen 4 AM11, with remapped engine software, less internal friction and better breathing. Raise the hood and you'll see, downstream of the throttle bodies, the two magnificent cast-magnesium air plenums converging at a black crinkle-finish engine shroud, the breastplate of a British battle robot.
Waist-high to a supermodel, and the whole liquid length of the thing hovering on 20-inch wheels, the Rapide S is spectacular, shattering, stunning. You know the part of your psyche that wants things? The Rapide S pierces it like an aluminum arrow. Thwock! Damn, that's a fine-looking car.
'Yes, the seats are small, the sightlines restricted. Do I care? Not in the slightest.'
After skipping the 2013 model year, the Rapide returns for 2014 sporting a big red S and a long list of tweaks to go along with its irrepressible sexuality and irresponsible ergonomics. The 2014 revision involved lowering the engine and revising the front end to meet European pedestrian-safety standards. I'll get to that.
For the moment, I want to talk branding, and sing the praises of this company's chief executive, Ulrich Bez. It may seem strange that Herr Dr. Bez—born and educated in Stuttgart, Germany, the bearer of a dossier thick with achievement in motor sports, as well as product development at Porsche, BMW BMW 0.03 % and Daewoo—should turn out to be the perfect conservator of Aston Martin. But in 13 years, the guy has not put a foot wrong. The foundation, literally, of the modern Aston Martin is the VH chassis, which is a flexible architecture of bonded and riveted aluminum panels, rectangular-section tubing and extrusions, a production technique shared with Lotus and Tesla, among others. While the construction technology was developed at the University of Birmingham, it was Dr. Bez who instituted the change at Aston Martin—on his second day on the job, according to legend.
Speaking of motor sports: Aston Martin is a relatively small, financially constrained company, with nothing like the resources that Porsche or BMW can bring to bear. And yet, under Dr. Bez's direction, the company's works team (Aston Martin Racing, or AMR) has competed in world endurance racing at the highest levels since 2005. AMR won the GT1 class at Le Mans in 2007 and 2008. From 2009 through 2011, AMR battled Audi and Peugeot PUGOY -3.27 % in the insane-with-cash Le Mans Prototype category. The Astons never quite reached the podium in that competition—the Audi and Peugeot diesel prototypes had to stop less often for fuel—but AMR raced heroically.
This weekend, AMR is again in La Sarthe, France, marking Aston Martin's centenary with a five-car effort to win the GTE Pro and Am categories. I would not bet against it.
In other words, Dr. Bez brought to the brand equation exactly what Aston Martin needed: credibility. By the time Dr. Bez took the reins in 2000, Aston Martin—then the property of Ford F -0.70 % —was an empty suit of a company. Its racing heritage was a distant memory; the company's flagship, the DB7 (coupe and Volante) was incestuously related to the Jaguar XK (Jag was also, at the time, owned by Ford). The franchise relied almost entirely on its James Bond connection, which was, frankly, a little sad. Driving an Aston Martin doesn't make you James Bond any more than wearing an Omega Speedmaster makes you an astronaut.
2014 Aston Martin Rapide S
Price as tested: $223,595
Powertrain: Front midmounted, naturally aspirated, quad-cam, 48-valve V12 with variable valve timing; six-speed automatic rear transaxle with manual-shift mode; rear-wheel drive with limited-slip differential
Horsepower/torque: 550 hp at 6,750 rpm/457 pound-feet at 5,500 rpm
Length/weight: 197.6 inches/4,387 pounds
Wheelbase: 117.6 inches
0-60 mph: 4.7 seconds (mfr.)
EPA fuel economy: 11/19 mpg, city/highway
Cargo capacity: 14 cubic feet
The beauty of Dr. Bez's approach is that today, Aston can afford its own eccentricities, and the Rapide S is full of them. The central console, for example, is a beautiful, baffling chessboard of leaded-crystal switches, aluminum buttons and compass dials controlling God-knows-what. In order to achieve Pythagorean perfection (the company literature invokes the Golden Ratio shamelessly), the four-door Rapide's wheelbase is stretched a mere 9.8 inches compared with the DB9's. That obliges the rear doors to be pretty small. Once you're inside, the rear bucket seats are hilariously snug—in jacket size, about a 38 short, whereas I'm a 42 long.
These ergonomic shortcomings, which Porsche or Audi would never sign off on, constitute dare-to-be-different charisma in the Rapide S. The car's leather-and-stitch saddlery is exquisite. The shoulder-high central tunnel that bisects the cabin, sheer exoticism. The aluminum cabin trim—around the seat-belt retractors, the cupholders, the many Bang & Olufsen loudspeakers—is the perfect complement. Yes, the seats are small, the sightlines restricted and the navi system something out of a truck-stop gift shop. Do I care? Not in the slightest.
The most notable change in the 2014 Rapide S is the larger, single-frame grille and its eight blades of polished aluminum, under which is a gorgeous carbon-fiber splitter that I managed to chip while parking at the grocery store. Lesson learned: Don't take the Aston to the grocery store.
The revised front grille—which does have a sort of addled, curling smile to it—is part of a front-end revision necessary to meet more stringent pedestrian safety standards (the big V12 has been also been lowered 0.8 inch). What hasn't changed is the deep, oaken, masculine rattle from the tailpipes, like a playing card stuck in God's bicycle spokes.
Still not the quickest car in its class—officially, zero to 60 miles per hour in 4.7 seconds—and by no means the most efficient (11/19 miles per gallon, city/highway), the Rapide S is nonetheless one of the most compelling, satisfying machines you'll ever sit in. In 25 years it will be a star on the lawns at Villa d'Este and Pebble Beach.
By then, I should have my Lagonda fixed.

Background: An increased risk of SPM in MM pts treated with len has been reported. We performed an IPD metanalysis to estimate the incidence of SPM according to len exposure.
Methods: Randomized studies of MM, from PubMed and ASCO/IMW/ASH (after 2000), that met the following criteria, were included: randomization to treatment with len (len-trials); randomization to treatment including new drug but not len (no-len-trials); available SPM data. Primary aim was to estimate cumulative incidence of SPMs by len exposure, corrected for death (competing event).
Results: Data from 6,383 pts (3,218 from 8 len-trials, 3,165 from 10 no-len-trials) were analyzed. Median age was 69 years. During follow-up (median=30 mos) 420 (6.6%) SPMs were reported: 188 (2.9%) hematologic and 232 (3.6%) solid cancers. Solid tumors occurred with similar incidence in all groups. Incidence of hematologic SPM was significantly higher in patients receiving len (3.2 vs 1.1, p=0.04), but risk is limited to patients treated with melphalan+len (4.1, 95%CI: 2.4-5.8) with no excess in other combinations (len without melphalan: 1.2, 0.0-2.6; melphalan without len: 1.1, 0.0-2.7) (p=0.003). The cumulative incidence of death for any cause was much higher than the risk of SPM.
Conclusions: The risk of hematologic SPMs was higher in pts receiving melphalan+len. The benefit/risk profile of len treatment remains positive. Cumulative incidence (%) of SPMs and death (95%CI).

on February 15, 2013 - 11:54 PM
Niagara, playing without leading scorer Antoine Mason for the fourth consecutive game, nevertheless took another step toward claiming the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championship with a 57-54 victory over Marist on Friday night in Poughkeepsie.
Sophomore guard Juan'ya Green, who finished with a game-high 20 points, broke a tie at 54 on a three-pointer with two seconds left in the contest to win the game for the Purple Eagles (15-11, 11-4).
Niagara remains in sole possession of first place and has a one-game lead over Loyola (Md.), which plays at Siena today. Mason, who averages 18.9 points a game, has been out with an ankle injury and the team is now 1-3 in his absence.
Meanwhile, the Niagara women's basketball team had its winning streak stopped at three games by Marist, 68-41, at McCann Arena.
The Red Foxes (18-6, 13-0 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference) built their lead early in the game while the Purple Eagles (12-12, 7-6) didn't shooting well.
Marist led, 35-15, at halftime. Niagara shot just 15 of 57 (26.3 percent) for the game.
Shy Britton scored a team-high eight points for the Purple Eagles, while Val McQuade led the team with eight rebounds.
Today's games
In Big 4 men's basketball today, Canisius tries to regain its footing in the MAAC race after a loss Thursday at Loyola, plays at last place Saint Peter's at 2 p.m.
The Golden Griffins (16-10, 9-6) are two games out of first place. This is Canisius' final road MAAC game of the season and a win today would give the Griffs a winning league record on the road for the first time since 1996-97.
After back-to-back home games, the University at Buffalo men (10-15, 5-6 Mid-American Conference) travel to Miami (Ohio) to take on the RedHawks (8-15, 3-8) at 3:30 today.
St. Bonaventure (11-12, 4-6 Atlantic 10) heads back on the road after a heartbreaking overtime loss Wednesday to La Salle for another crucial conference matchup, this time against Richmond (14-11, 4-6) at 6 p.m.
The Bonnies — who dropped a 69-66 decision to the Explorers on Wednesday — will look to earn their fourth A-10 road victory.
In Big 4 women's basketball, UB (7-16, 5-5) concludes play against MAC West Division foes as it faces Eastern Michigan (6-17 4-6) at 2 at the Convocation Center. It is a pivotal contest for seeding in the conference tournament for both teams, which sit within one game of each other in the standings. The Bulls are coming off a loss at Central Michigan; Eastern defeated Ohio last Saturday.
Also at 2 p.m., Canisius (9-15, 6-7) plays at Iona (13-11, 8-5). Ashley Durham is averaging 22.7 points in the last three games against the Gaels, to go along with 14 assists, 14 rebounds and 11 three-pointers.
Elsewhere in local men's college basketball, Hilbert (18-5, 12-4) is in a three-way tie for second place in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference heading into their contest at 3 against La Roche. The 18 victories are a school record. The Hawks are riding a five-game win streak.

Background: Carfilzomib (CFZ) is a highly selective proteasome inhibitor with single-agent activity in patients (pts) with R/R MM.
Methods: In this ongoing study of single-agent CFZ in R/R MM, pts were stratified based on prior exposure to BTZ and CFZ dose level (Table). CFZ IV was administered on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 every 28 d for up to 12 cycles. Study endpoints included overall response rate (ORR), defined as ≥ partial response (PR), duration of response (DOR), and safety.
Results: The BTZ-treated cohort included 35 pts (14 refractory to most recent treatment). For BTZ-naive pts, cohort 1 included 59 pts and cohort 2 included 20 pts. Pts received a mean of 5 cycles of CFZ (range 1-12). Thirty-three BTZ-treated pts were evaluable with an ORR of 18%. For BTZ-naive pts, 54 pts in cohort 1 and 19 pts in cohort 2 were evaluable with ORRs of 46% and 53%, respectively. Median DOR (≥MR) was ≥8.8 months (mo). Treatment groups and patient responses are shown in the Table. In the combined pt population, the most common adverse events (AEs) included fatigue (66%), nausea (49%), dyspnea (40%), anemia (34%), diarrhea (32%) and were primarily ≤ Gr 2 in severity. The most common ≥ Gr 3 AEs were anemia, thrombocytopenia, and neutropenia (10% each). Febrile neutropenia and treatment-emergent peripheral neuropathy (PN) were uncommon. Of 23 pts who completed the 12 cycle protocol, 7 chose to continue CFZ therapy on an extended treatment protocol. Updated results for all cohorts will be presented.
Conclusions: Single-agent CFZ is active in pts with R/R MM. AEs were generally mild and thereby durable disease control was obtained with continued dosing. Severe PN is rare and does not limit therapy.

EAST LIVERPOOL - A change order that would cost an additional $10,000 for the Patterson Field improvement project was not acted upon Monday night by the city school board, pending assurance from the state that it is needed.
The change order from Tice Builders was presented to the board for approval as an addendum to the agenda, seeking inclusion of a makeup air system for the visitors' locker room.
According to officials, they have been advised the state is now requiring this additional system in order to approve plans for the building, but it was not included in the architect's original design.

The makeup air system is in the design of the home locker room.
Architect Scott Shepherd was not in attendance, having advised Superintendent James Herring earlier in the day he had another commitment Monday night.
President Janice Martin complained that the board has been trying since August to get plans approved by the state and they still are not, although the county has approved plumbing plans.
Board member Richard Wolf reiterated earlier concerns that he has seen no sealed, competitive bids for the project, saying quotes have been obtained when bids are required for anything over $25,000.
"I want to see every bid, sealed or not," Wolf insisted.
Martin said the board had received an email from its attorney referencing that issue and asked Herring to retrieve it. However, it was decided the correspondence was not to be made public due to attorney-client privilege, and Wolf said he still wants to see a copy of it.
No action was taken on the change order.
In personnel matters, the appointment of varsity baseball coach William Bailey of Columbiana met with opposition from Wolf and board Vice President Bob Estell.
Wolf complained that this was the first appointment since his re-election to the board made without recommendation of the athletic committee and said, while Bailey may be a good candidate, he knows nothing about him.
Estell did not give a reason for his negative vote, while Martin said the athletic committee needs to hold regular meetings but isn't and she hoped the position was opened up to district teachers.
Athletic committee Chairman Scott Dieringer said it is his fault no meeting has been scheduled, also saying he didn't know when the job was posted, who applied, or when interviews took place.
Bailey's appointment was a recommendation from Principal Randy Taylor, a member of the athletic committee.
A question was also raised about a recommendation to hire Bob Bosco as a game worker, which has never been a board appointment in the past.
Treasurer Todd Puster explained that it is a new procedure to comply with federal regulations regarding paying people as contractual workers instead of as district employees.
In other matters, the board:
Approved the resignation of North Elementary teacher Valerie Caffro.
Heard a presentation on the district's special education program from coordinator Melanie Caralo.
Established minimum wage for covered employees at $7.85 per hour in accordance with state law effective Jan. 1, 2013.
Heard a report from Pam Gerace on the Job Training Program.

1990 Arizona Repatriation Legislation
Paul Bender
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Arizona State Law Journal, Vol. 24, p. 391, 1992
Arizona recently enacted two important pieces of legislation establishing broad repatriation rights for sensitive American Indian material. Section 844 of Arizona Revised Statutes, requires the state to repatriate human remains, funerary objects, sacred ceremonial materials, and items of tribal patrimony if these materials are either excavated on state land or in the control of state agencies. Section 865 of Arizona Revised Statutes, provides a right of repatriation if human remains or funerary objects are discovered on privately owned land. Both statutes confer repatriation rights on the governments of Indian tribes that have cultural or religious affinity to the materials whose repatriation is sought. The term affinity is generously defined in both laws. This article discusses the Arizona repatriation legislation in detail.
Three main themes underlie both new pieces of Arizona legislation. The first is a recognition of the enormous value of cooperative discussion among all interested parties when a controversy arises over the treatment or disposition of sensitive Indian materials. The second pervasive underlying theme is that when cooperative discussions do not resolve repatriation issues, concern for human rights should receive primary weight in decisions about the disposition and treatment of culturally sensitive materials. Finally, the legislation rests on the related assumptions that American Indian tribal governments are ordinarily the proper representatives of Indian interests in repatriation controversies, and that such governments, once empowered to protect their tribal beliefs and heritage, will sensitively and responsibly limit their repatriation claims to materials that are truly central to those beliefs and heritage.

text: Every Kid Healthy Week: Do you know where Kentucky ranks when it comes to obesity? by on Thursday, April 25, 2013 Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index recently released a new report outlining obesity rates on state by state bases. Colorado residents were the least likely in the nation to be obese in 2012 -- as has been the case since 2010 -- making it the only state where less than 20% of adults are obese. West Virginia - also for a third year in a row -- is the state with the highest obesity rate, at 33.5%; however, this is down from 35.3% in 2012. To learn where your state ranks, visit Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index website. Spring is a great time to start thinking about getting healthy. This time of year there will be an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables to grocery stores, farmers' markets will start and with the weather starting to improve getting outside for physical activity will be possible. To show your legislators that obesity and other health issue are important to you, please visit our Take Action center to send your supportive message today or encourage others to send a message through Facebook. « Now share your story Share This
