Dear Reader,
As the year drew to a close, I heard from so many people about how relieved they were that 2001 was finally over. The past year was one of enormous upheaval and grief. But, strangely, in the world of multiple myeloma it was also a year of hope.
Evidence of this was apparent at the recent meeting of ASH where there were over 200 abstracts on myeloma. Currently, exciting drugs such as PS-341 and the new iMid Revimid¨ are moving through clinical trials. These drugs hold much promise for improving the outlook for myeloma patients.
Important work in myeloma research is taking place in labs around the world. Numerous studies are being conducted, including projects on molecular genetics, bone metabolism, and cytokines to name a few. More and more pharmaceutical and biotech companies are developing drugs and technologies that may have an application in the treatment of myeloma.
When Brian Novis was diagnosed in 1988, the drugs available to treat myeloma were melphalan and prednisone, dexamethasone and interferon as a maintenance therapy. What a choice. Today, the myriad of new treatment possibilities challenges both patients and physicians to stay abreast of emerging options in order to attain the best outcome possible.
Knowledge is power! Our thanks to Geraldine Ferraro who made myeloma a household word. She too recognizes how powerful education is. As she so aptly stated in her letter to the IMF, ÒThe International Myeloma Foundation has been a source of information and hope not only for me but for many other myeloma patients. It has educated and provided support to our families and most importantly has been at the forefront of raising public awareness and money for research.Ó
If weÕve learned one lesson this past year, itÕs that even in the darkest hour there is a glimmer of hope. All of us at the IMF hope that we have been able to provide you and your family with that beacon of light. And remember Ð
"Until there is a cureÉ There is the IMF."
Susie Novis

Friday, November 1, 2013
American Rivers, a national river conservation organization, has expressed interest in naming the Ashley River one of its "blue trails."
The interest comes hand-in-hand with a request from the Dorchester County Conservation Commission to the County Council asking for a conservation easement on the Ashley River Park property.
A conservation easement would require the current and any future owners of the property to protect the land according to the easement specifications.
Conservation Commission Chairman Mike Dawson presented the request to the council at its Oct. 7 meeting.
At the request of Councilman Jay Byars, Dawson presented the information again to the Parks and Recreation Commission at their Oct. 9 meeting.
"The park is protected now, yes, but it's only as protected as this or any future council wants it," Dawson said. "We're asking for an easement to avoid the possibility of selling and subdividing the property in order to protect the river corridor."
Blue trails – which promote the conservation of rivers through recreational use – are often associated with conservation easements because a river must be healthy in order for it to be a part of the program.
"There's a good opportunity to do this on the Ashley River," said Gerrit Jobsis, the southeast regional director at American Rivers. "We recognize that the Ashley is a great resource, but it's under some threat."
The blue trail program started in South Carolina with the Congaree River, and has since grown to be a nationwide initiative.
Although not official yet, if the Ashley River becomes a blue trail it will be the fourth in the state and the eighth in the country.
Just as a hiking trail is designed to facilitate recreation in green spaces, the blue trails promote recreation on rivers.
Jobsis said if the Ashley River becomes a blue trail, American Rivers will help promote its recreation by publicizing public access points, identifying local history surrounding the river, and creating a map that would provide information on the river's features and how to paddle it.
"This would really bring visibility to the Ashley River," said Dawson.
But before that process starts, Jobsis said American Rivers will be reaching out to the community, including local government officials and members of the public, to get their opinions.
So far, he said the feedback has been positive: "I'm excited about the Ashley. I'm really happy with the enthusiasm I've seen when talking with folks in the area. It's going to be a great project and I look forward to working on this."

In many states, state employees who retire and collect pensions are not permitted to "double dip." Should they decide to go back to work in the public sector, their pension benefits are reduced.
That is not the case in Ohio. Here, retirees - including some well-compensated ones - are not penalized if they get back on the public payroll.
One example is William G. Batchelder, who is speaker of the state House of Representatives. Batchelder served more than three decades as a legislator, then left and became a judge. Now he's back in the Statehouse, collecting a salary of $94,000 and a pension topping $100,000 a year.
Batchelder may be the most prominent double dipper, but he is far from the only one. For years, many public employees have been able to retire in their mid-50s, start collecting pensions, then go back to work while still in the prime of life and enjoy double income through salaries.
Were the situation in the private sector, Ohio taxpayers would have no cause for complaint. But because public employee pensions and other retirement benefits are subsidized heavily by taxpayers, they have a right to demand double dipping come to an end. In effect, hard-working Buckeye State residents are paying some employees twice - and that simply isn't fair. With state and many local governments in deep fiscal trouble, it isn't smart, either.
Ohio legislators should place at least some limits on double dipping. Just don't look for the initiative to start in the speaker of the House's office.

How Do I Remove The Residue Left By The Promotional Stickers On My LED TV?
Occasionally, when you remove a sticker from a TV, there is residue left behind. To remove this residue, try wiping it with a soft, slightly damp, clean cloth. If wiping it with a soft, slightly damp, clean cloth does not completely remove the residue, spray a small amount of WD-40 on another clean, soft cloth, and then wipe the residue off. This should remove all residue and not damage the TV in anyway.
Spray the WD-40 on the cloth only. Never spray the WD-40 directly on the TV.
Never, under any circumstances, use WD-40 on the TV sceen. Use WD-40 on the bezel only.

Methotrexate (4-amino-N10-methylpteroylglutamic acid) is well tolerated by most patients using the usual dosage schedules and routes of administration (oral, intravenous, and intramuscular), as previously described by Farber et al,1 Burchenal et al,2 Schoenbach et al,3 and others. Moreover, more recent studies of the clinical effects of methotrexate when given by several dose schedules and routes of administration (ie, continuous intravenous and intra-arterial infusion, intrathecal and intraventricular injections) have shown that this antimetabolite is well tolerated to the extent of acceptable toxicity.4-8

Old American Football League die-hards must be suffering these days. New England and Denver appear to be playoff bound, but it has not been a banner season for the other six original AFL franchises.
Going into Week 13 games today, Buffalo, the Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers, Tennessee Titans (the former Houston Oilers) and the New York Jets (nee N.Y. Titans) are out of playoff contention or barely hanging on.
What's more, the AFL originals include the NFL's most troubled franchises and four of them may be due for head coaching changes in 2013. The Chiefs have the worst record (1-10) in the league, and Kansas City fans and media are demanding changes in management.
In Buffalo, San Diego and Oakland fans are voting at the turnstile. The home games of the Bills, Chargers and Raiders today will be blacked out on local television.
The Patriots (8-3) and the Broncos (8-3) are the only AFL originals with winning records entering December. Overall, the old AFL is 36-52. Outside the original eight, the AFLers are only 20-35 despite New England's 6-0 mark.
Against the NFC, the AFL originals are only 7-18. The Chargers, Raiders and Chiefs are a combined 0-8 against the NFC.
Game of the day
Buccaneers (6-5) at Broncos (8-3)
Kickoff: 4:05 p.m.
The line: Broncos (-6½)
The scoop: Denver can clinch AFC West with a win or a Chargers loss. Bucs trying to stay in NFC wild-card picture. … Bucs have best NFL record against the spread (7-2-2). … Already sitting pretty, Broncos have easiest remaining schedule. Opponents have 22-33 (.400) combined record. … Josh Freeman of Buccaneers has thrown for 16 TDs with just three INTs in last seven games. However, his overthrow of wide-open Mike Williams in end zone last week lost vital division game against Atlanta, a 24-23 defeat. … Knowshon Moreno has moved into starting RB spot for Denver in place of injured Willis McGahee.
Outlook: Denver's only home loss was to Houston. Too tough to beat Peyton Manning and Co. in Mile High. Denver, 34-24.
Top attractions
Patriots (8-3) at Dolphins (5-6)
Kickoff: 1 p.m.
The line: Patriots (-7½)
The scoop: Pats can wrap up AFC East by winning. Two games with Dolphins are only division games left on New England schedule. … Pats have won last four games against Fish, including 27- and 14-point margins at Sun Life Stadium. … Patriots have won last 12 December games. … New England's 31-21 win over Broncos on Oct. 7 may end up deciding No. 2 seed in AFC playoffs.
Outlook: Can Miami hold Pats under 30? New England, 27-20.
Steelers (6-5) at Ravens (9-2)
Kickoff: 4:25 p.m.
The line: Ravens (-8)
The scoop: Ravens clinch AFC North with a win and Bengals loss. A win assures Baltimore of playoff spot. … Baltimore has won last 15 regular season games at home. Steelers in 2010 were last to defeat Ravens at home. … Charlie Batch gets the start at quarterback for the Steelers, replacing the injured Ben Roethlisberger. … Ravens converted fourth-and-29 on tying FG drive at Chargers last week on way to OT win. Officials missed obvious block-in-the-back by Ravens WR Anquan Boldin.
Outlook: Steelers may get Polamalu back for this one, but they need Ben more. Ravens, 17-10.
Giants (7-4) at Redskins (5-6)
TV: ESPN, Monday, 8:30 p.m.
The line: Giants (-2½)
The scoop: New York's remaining opponents have a 32-23 (.582) overall record, best among playoff contenders. Giants also have other road games against Falcons and Ravens. … If Redskins hadn't allowed 77-yard TD pass to Victor Cruz with 1:13 left for 27-23 Giants win, teams would be tied for division lead going into today's game. Redskins have gone 3-1 since that heartbreak.
Outlook: Shanahan may be Coach of Year. Grit and RG3 makes Redskins tough out. Giants, 28-20.
Seahawks (6-5) at Bears (8-3)
Kickoff: 1 p.m.
The line: Bears (-3½)
The scoop: Giving up late lead in loss at Miami last Sunday damaged Seattle playoff hopes and virtually ended any chance of winning division. … Seahawks rookie QB Russell Wilson has had 7-0 TD-INT ratio and plus-125 passer rating last three games. … Chicago may be without CB Charles Tillman and return man Devin Hester for this one.
Outlook: Seahawks play three of last four at home after 20-10 loss here.
Colts (7-4) at Lions (4-7)
Kickoff: 1 p.m.
The line: Lions (-6)
The scoop: Missed call by refs in Thanksgiving loss to Houston (OT) probably ended Detroit's playoff chances. … Except for two games with 10-1 Texans, Colts have easiest remaining schedule. … Lions are 0-3 against Indy since last win in 1997.
Outlook: Resourceful Colts have done well to win seven. They were played to standstill at home by Bills last week. Things will be tougher in Motor City. Lions, 33-21.
Vikings (6-5) at Packers (7-4)
Kickoff: 1 p.m.
The line: Packers (-8½)
The scoop: First of two to be played between NFC North rivals. They also will meet again in Week 17. Packers have won last nine division games and last four against Minnesota. … Packers trying to come back from humiliating rout at hands of Giants. Vikings were handled by Bears last week.
Outlook: Packers may get LB Clay Matthews (hamstring) back but not DB Charles Woodson (collarbone), too. Both missed loss at Giants. A must-win for Packers, 27-17.
Best of the rest
Jaguars (2-9) at Bills (4-7)
Kickoff: 1 p.m.
The line: Bills (-6)
The scoop: Buffalo is last in the league in defending third downs (46.4) and Jaguars (30.6) are last in converting them. If those numbers are reversed Bills will lose. … In just two-plus games, Chad Henne of Jaguars has thrown for seven touchdowns. Blaine Gabbert had only nine in 8½ games before injuries put him out for the year.
Outlook: Bills end two-game losing streak to Jax, but just barely, 24-20.
Cardinals (4-7) at Jets (4-7)
Kickoff: 1 p.m.
The line: Jets (-5)
The scoop: Cardinals have lost last seven and only road win was at Patriots in Week Two. … Jets lead all-time series, 5-2, including wins in last five. … Rookie Ryan Lindley makes second career start for Arizona.
Outlook: Even Fireman Ed has given up on Jets, but Cardinals have not scored 20 in last seven games. Jets, 24-10.
49ers (8-2-1) at Rams (4-6-1)
Kickoff: 1 p.m.
The line: 49ers (-7½)
The scoop: Teams played to a 24-all tie on Nov. 11 at Candlestick. Niners have defeated tough Bears and Saints since while Rams have gone 1-1. … QB Colin Kaepernick of Niners is talk of league.
Outlook: Can't see Rams scoring 24 against Niners again. San Francisco, 28-10.
Texans (10-1) at Titans (4-7)
Kickoff: 1 p.m.
The line: Texans (-6½)
The scoop: Houston clinches playoff spot with a win and can do it even with a loss depending on outcome of other games. … Texans are 5-0 on road this season. One more win would be club record for single season. They were 10-6 last year.
Outlook: Former Houston Oilers managed to lose at Jacksonville so losing at home to Texans should be easy. Houston, 21-14.
Bengals (6-5) at Chargers (4-7)
Kickoff: 4:15 p.m.
The line: Bengals (-2)
The scoop: Bengals have won last three averaging 31 points. … Chargers are 18-3 in December under Norv Turner. Late push won't do Bolts much good this time.
Outlook: San Diego's only wins in last nine are over Chiefs twice. Nevertheless, Chargers, 31-28.
Eagles (3-8) at Cowboys (5-6)
TV: Ch. 2, 8:20 p.m.
The line: Cowboys (-10½)
The scoop: People have been overrating Philadelphia all season. Eagles only 1-9-1 against the spread and have lost last seven outright. … Injury situation making Philadelphia situation uglier by the week.
Outlook: Andy Reid has 17-11 record against Dallas. It looks like he will finish 17-12. Cowboys, 30-17.
Browns (3-8) at Raiders (3-8)
Kickoff: 4:15 p.m.
The line: Browns (-2)
The scoop: Browns special teams were horrible in 24-17 loss at Raiders last season. Gave up 101-yard kickoff return and a TD pass by punter Shane Lechler. … Could come down to field goal duel between Phil Dawson of Browns, who has made his last 27 FGs, and Sebastian Janikowski of Raiders, who is 22 for 23. … Browns QB Brandon Weeden (concussion) may not play.
Outlook: This should be real ugly game between two of NFL's dullest offenses. Browns, 20-16.
Dog of the day
Panthers (3-8) at Chiefs (1-10)
Kickoff: 1 p.m.
The line: Panthers (-3)
The scoop: Chiefs playing game despite tragic death of LB Jovan Belcher, who shot himself at Arrowhead Stadium after murdering girlfriend. Brady Quinn (0-4 TD-INT) gets start at QB for K.C.
Outlook: Nobody except Giants and Broncos has had easy time against Panthers but coach Ron Rivera is on hot seat anyway. Chiefs due to reach end zone. K.C, 20-17.
Last week's results: 9-4 outright, 8-4-1 versus spread.
Season's record: 98-63-1 outright, 76-82-5 versus spread.

I love it so much I killed it!!!
Feb. 2, 2014
I love this little blender/processor. I even used it to grind coffee when my coffee grinder died. I have used the processor part to turn my homemade laundry detergent into a fine powder. But have not made any smoothies yet. I recently stripped the gears on the processor part, it happens. Was making my chicken loaf lunch meat and well, it was just one time to many. Will buy another one gladly.

Used mine to death
Nov. 27, 2013
I ordered one of these last year. I blend my cat's food every day, twice a day. i finally wore mine out. I have had nothing but good use out of this. I had gone thru several "cheaper" versions that actually cost me more. Their blending wand was open and could not be cleaned well. They also didn't have good speed control. I loved this one and I'm ordering another one. Much better than any other brands.

Worked great...for awhile
Nov. 6, 2013
I LOVED this blender! I loved the attachments, the chopper, the everything! But then one day, after not many uses, it got warm while running. The next time I tried to use it - nothing. Dead as a doornail. I'm giving it another try because the price is so much better than every other blender I look at. Maybe this time it will last a little longer.

I purchased this hand blender in April 2010 and only used it to make smoothies about once a month. Very little use. It lasted less than two years and disappointed.
I purchased another in Feb. 2012, again using it for smoothies approx once a month. Yesterday it was dead as a door nail. Extremely disappointing.
How can a deemed professional series product be so poor in performance. Its not been used no where to the capabilty it claims. Or I'm an unlucky person purchasing two defective products.

The amount of work-study offered to a student in his/her financial aid award is based on demonstrated financial need. Work-study is the "self-help" portion of a student's financial aid award (along with loans). Whether or not a student works the number of hours required to fulfill the awarded amount of work-study is a decision each student must make based on their ability to hold a job while attending classes during a semester. If a student decides not to work, this would increase the expected family contribution.
Students are not guaranteed a work-study position by virtue of being offered work-study in their financial aid award. All students must apply for on-campus jobs by submitting a resume and cover letter on HamNET, and then the Student Employment Office will forward their materials to the hiring department. The department will then contact students they would like to interview. During the hiring process, each department will give preference to students who were issued work-study as a portion of their financial aid award. If you have questions, please contact the Student Employment Office at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Not since the Spanish Armada was knocked off course has the weather seemed to play such importance in politics. Barack Obama took the events of Hurricane Sandy and rode them back into the White House.
Although it was close, he was able to thwart Mitch McConnell's wish that he become a one-term president.
Of course the red hots among the Republican Party will never accept that 2008 or 2012 meant anything. But smart GOP politicians will be wise to ponder the course they set for themselves four years ago. Clearly the party's lack of diversity hurt its chances against the president. As the election demonstrated, the Republicans are becoming more rural and traditional. They have become the party of the new Bryanism railing for the fading voice of the past.
Mitt Romney himself could never get beyond simply anti-Obama votes. His campaign was denounced by the Washington Post as an "insult" to the American electorate. He embraced and denied, denied and embraced; in the end he was an anti-vote rather than one who had vision. But he did make it close, depending on more money than Croesus and scant regard for the truth.
Romney left the Republican Party no legacy except he was the one to face the despised one. In the end he left no loaves or fishes. He, however, did leave his last reserves of gall.
Romney's dilemma is one faced by every GOP moderate: it is impossible to win that Party's nomination and make sense. So controlled it is by ideologues, no flexibility is allowed. For Romney to win he had to renounce all that he believed in during the primaries. By the time he changed course it opened him up to the charge that he was "Janus faced." And yet if a storm had not hit, he may have made it.
George H.W. Bush in 1988 ran a campaign of equal viciousness and lack of content. Although he won, it severely hampered his ability to govern. Flags and prayer in school all predominated. Certainly that campaign left nothing but Lee Atwater's fraternity pranks to remember. Ronald Reagan, who spent years articulating a conservative message without prejudice or bile, saw his efforts destroyed during 1988 and the ensuing Bush presidency.
George W. left a political legacy shaped by the other trickster, Karl Rove. Rove, a masterful tactician, nevertheless left nothing to ponder. Bush's re-election gave the country a four-year void and did a great deal to strengthen the Democratic Party, instead of taking time to explain to some Republicans that all their problems are not caused by the "other," but the changes of the modern world. To demagogue as Romney did on coal or Bush Sr. on flag burning does little to move a nation.
This should have been a lesson for Obama. He did not put out before the American people a vision for the future. Unlike FDR in 1936, he did not point out the battle lines. No less than 2004, this was a victory of incumbency and mobilization. He still has four years to do so.
Yet his actions during Hurricane Sandy showed a president who is engaged and humane. Gov. Chris Christie's response showed what can be done if partisanship is eschewed for the common interest. Perhaps a new spirit can be advanced and some good found for the storm that ravaged the East Coast and West Virginia.

Education accountability shifting to local level
June 4, 2013
State school Superintendent James Phares is right about the major public education bill enacted this spring in West Virginia. As he remarked to a reporter last week, the law is "a huge undertakin....
There should be both a teacher and student accountability.
Tying a student's promotion to test achievement scores would cause a more serious academic environment for all.

The famous phrase applied (by himself or SPORT Magazine writer Robert Ward) to Reginald Martinez Jackson during his first spring training camp as a New York Yankee, aptly describes a couple of NLL stand-outs whose teams' fortunes mirror their own.
John Tavares missed the first six games of this season, possibly the single longest stretch on the DL during his remarkable MILL / NLL career. His Buffalo Bandits opened the season 0 – 4 and were 1 – 5, dead last in the league standings, when he returned. With JT back in his usual role, including spot duty on the back door (fulfilling his own prophecy from a couple of All-Star games ago when he playfully speculated about extending his NLL career, after several shifts on "D", with a [gasp!] mesh-strung stick no less, for the East), Buffalo has gone on a 5 – 1 run and moved into 4th place in the East.
Tavares has rung up 14 goals and 15 assists, along with 40 loose balls, and including back-to-back OT game-winners in Toronto and Boston. With three home games, including one against Colorado, and a trip to Disney World left, it is not inconceivable that the Bandits could 'run out the rack' and finish 10 – 6 with at least a first-round home play-off date.
I've said before on these 'pages' that as Tracey Kelusky goes, so go the Calgary Roughnecks. With the NLL West play-off picture all but statistically decided except for match-ups, the 'Riggers' face an uncertain future with their captain out with a concussion, or concussion-like symptoms (a fine distinction that is lost on me – too many concussions, perhaps), and not for the first time in his NLL career. While the remainder of their schedule is not exactly grueling – an Easter(n) swing through Toronto and Rochester as I write this on Good Friday, then Colorado-Edmonton-Colorado, the Roughnecks are still seething about the hit that took out their leader.
Which takes me to my next topic — head shots in lacrosse.
The National Hockey League has had to face itself on this issue this season, and has done so with all of the denial and intellectual and emotional contortions of Dennis Rodman on "Celebrity Rehab". Teams' and league management, and the players, have settled on a solution of "supplementary discipline" for checks to the head on vulnerable opponents in "blind-side" situations, after a rash of vicious and egregious on-ice assaults. All of this has transpired against a background chorus of laughable hand-wringing about the dangers of "taking hitting out of the game".
Two weeks ago Tracey Kelusky left the floor in the third quarter of a game in Orlando, after absorbing a head-shot from the Titans' Rory Smith, and has been sidelined since. I've watched the video of the sequence, and here's what this old ("wooden sticks and leather helmets") box lacrosse player saw.
After the Titans' Matt Vinc went down stopping an outside shot by Craig Conn, Kelusky circled the goal and picked up the rebound, continuing around the crease to Vinc's right. Kelusky took a behind-the-back shot while Vinc was still getting to his feet, but saw it bounce off Titan defender John Orsen's shoulder as he stood in the crease to aid Vinc. Meanwhile, Smith had left Conn in the high slot, turning to follow Kelusky's progress around the net, and, as Kelusky shot and then took two steps watching, Smith took three full strides and hit him with a shoulder / forearm shot to the right side and jaw hinge of Kelusky's head. As he went down, Kelusky's helmet flew off and he hit the floor with his left shoulder and head.
Blind-side hits rarely convert directly to a strategic advantage for the 'hitting' team. They almost invariably lead to a fight or at least a scrum, and a stoppage in play rather than a counterattack. There is no 'finishing your check' within the rules, even with the leeway given by officials at the pro / elite level. Nor have I ever seen a satisfactory definition of a "legal" blow to the head, not one that passes any kind of common-sense "sniff test". As to the bleating by offenders that they never intend to hurt or deliberately injure, what then are they trying to do? Beyond not getting called / penalized / punished, that is?
While the NHL's new threat of 'supplementary discipline' may end this season's head-hunting (funny how such tactics, and those sent over the boards to carry them out, always seem to vanish when the Stanley Cup play-offs start), the long-term outcomes remain to be seen. The NLL is fond of marketing its first responders and teachers, who "down tools" for winter week-ends of fast-paced, hard-hitting lacrosse. But head hits and concussions don't just threaten part-time, modestly paid lacrosse careers, but more importantly, 'real world' livelihoods. Protecting players' lives and families is worth taking a little bit of dirty / cowardly / pointless hitting out of the game. It would, frankly, never be missed. And while on the general topic of the egregious, I am pondering this:
After seeing the latest TV commercial from AXE men's grooming products – the company that gave us the piglet sent out into the mall by a young woman to "find me a dirty boy", to be gang-shampooed to the apparent eternal benefit of his sex life – to wit, another comely young lady stalking a dude at a party because "I just want to bury my face in your backside", fortunately for viewers of all ages, the backside of his head,
I am wondering,
Does AXE use the same advertising / marketing company as Warrior Lacrosse?

A bomb threat was reported at Googles Berkeley County facility on Thursday.
The Berkeley County Sheriffs Office, with the assistance of the Charleston County Sheriffs Office, were on scene at the Google data facility off U.S.-52 most of the day after the bomb threat was reported at 8:39 a.m. Thursday morning.
Deputies methodically searched the large buildings. After each building was cleared, employees are allowed back in. This operation was completed by about 4 p.m. and the company was able to resume normal operations.
There was nothing to it, BCSO Spokesman Dan Moon said. We didnt locate anything. The search came up clear. We allowed everybody to go back into the building and resume business.
Somebody found a note in a port-o-let out there. Thats how it got started. They called us. We responded. We requested the assistance of the Charleston County Sheriffs Office bomb squad. We spent a good bit of the day out there evacuating every building.

Your Take: Do You Check Off $3 To The Presidential Fund?
|Email Print
When you go to do your taxes this year, you will have the option to give three of your tax dollars to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund. $3 isn't deducted from your refund or added to your tax bill, $3 from your taxes is simply allocated for the fund. The money is used to in the party nominating conventions, presidential primaries, and then the general election every four years. It was created by Congress in the 1970s as a matter of campaign finance reform as candidates who accept financing have to follow certain fundraising and total spending rules. If you remember, it was a big deal when then presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama opted out of public financing.
If you want to learn more about it, I may recommend the Federal Election Committee website where you can find all sorts of campaign finance gems.
My question to you is do you check off $3 to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund? When I first started filing my taxes, I didn't because I erroneously thought it meant I would be personally donating $3. After I learned it wouldn't actually cost me $3, I thought it was absurd that we would give even more money to spend on political campaigns. However, as I read more, I realized that forcing candidates to take public financing puts a cap on how much they can spend. I don't claim to be an expert but I think that's a good thing.

Fayetteville police said they have arrested a woman after she allegedly stole $144 worth of eye shadow from Ulta.
Police said they received a shoplifting call Monday afternoon at Ulta Beauty Store.
The caller told 911 dispatchers 31-year-old Brandy Allen was grabbing handfuls of make-up and shoving it in her purse.
The manager told police she approached Allen about stealing makeup from the display. When confronted by the store manager, Allen started cursing and yelling inside the store, police said.
The store manager said Allen then took out each eyeshadow and rubbed her fingers over the surface to make them looked used.
Police booked Allen into the Washington County Detention Center on shoplifting and disorderly conduct charges.

Why the others were spared? I do not know. But we have blisters. Blisters! I tell you.
And truth be told,
The biggest hit was the wash your feet thingy, by our cars, in the parking lot, like a mile from the beach.
And she stayed on a long time, until she realized what she was getting into, with all the splashing and such.
Isn't that just like life?
I love it.

"I think weed is the best drug on earth," Cyrus, 20, tells Rolling Stone. "One time I smoked a joint with peyote in it, and I saw a wolf howling at the moon. Hollywood is a coke town, but weed is so much better. And molly, too. Those are happy drugs – social drugs."
The magazine cover gal, whose engagement to Liam Hemsworth ended earlier this month, doesn't stop there.
Rolling Stone
Still, she insists, "I know what I'm doing."
The pop princess, who recently tattooed Rolling Stone's name on the soles of her feet, also sounds off on her infamous tongue, saying, "I just stick my tongue out because I hate smiling in pictures. It's so awkward. It looks so cheesy."
And what about that controversial "Wrecking Ball" video, in which she swings naked and makes out with a sledgehammer? Cyrus compares it to Sinead O'Connor's iconic video for "Nothing Compares 2 U."
"I think it will be one of those iconic videos, too," she tells the magazine. "Hopefully, an artist 30 years from now will be like, 'Yo, you remember that Miley Cyrus video? We gotta do something like that.' "

Children of Depressed Parents at Higher-Risk for Mental Disorders
June 1, 2006
The long-term study demonstrates that the generational effect of depression continues into adulthood and is conducted by researchers at
The risks for anxiety disorders and major depression were approximately three times as high in children with at least one depressed parent, and their rate of phobias was four times as high. They also had higher rates of substance dependence and self-reported physical illness in mid- adulthood than children of non-depressed parents. Around 35-years-old, children of depressed parents reported higher incidence of cardiovascular disorders (five times as likely) and neuromuscular disorders (twice as likely) than those of non-depressed parents.
"This work highlights the significant life-long risk faced by children of a depressed parent. Efforts to improve treatment of depressed parents may thus have potential benefits that reach the next generation," said Robert Freedman, M.D., AJP editor-in-chief.
Major depressive disorder appeared between the ages of 15 and 20 years and there was a slight increase in new anxiety disorders among women between ages 28 and 32. By adulthood, children of depressed parents functioned more poorly at work and in their extended families. Although 83 percent had experienced psychiatric disorders during their lifetimes, only 38 percent had received treatment for a mental illness.

15. frydaexiii (Posts: 1441; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
For a device with almost everything maxed out, there's not much you can do. If the screen were any larger, it'd be a tablet. The only thing would be the camera, which I supposed Samsung has not found a way to make Zero-shutter lag work with 12 megapixels yet and the screen, then again 1080P would be pure overkill.
Memory, available in 64GB, maxed. RAM, 2GB highest for any phone, and all it would probably need.
Processor, Quad-core exynos, best there is.
I don't see how else they could have improved it
38. korean411 (Posts: 78; Member since: 04 May 2009)
true very true any bigger it will become a tablet. and well no company i heard of found a way to make a pure zero shutter lag work on 12mp and beyond in phones
20. redmd (Posts: 1268; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
For Note I users like me, it's a meh. For the rest, this should be a wow!

37. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
if your a note user, this isnt meant for you.. the note3 will be meant for you. this is to "wow" people on the fence.
big ass battery, i wonder if thats purely to compensate for the OC exynos, or if it will actually last a long time.
60. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4831; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
So far this is the phone I am going to buy. The original Note has a VERY nice root community so the Note II will not fare any different.
All I have to do is wait to see what the new Nexus' will be like & then I will buy my next phone. So far this Galaxy Note II is EPIC & is clearly in the lead for my good old Benjamins. lol
65. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
wait a second.. after all that Krait defending your going for an exynos quad!?!? lol.
70% chance it will end up being a krait in america anways, unless they got a real LTE solution. hopefully its the pro at least.
71. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4831; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Well I really like the 5.5 inch Super AMOLED+ display. I am really looking at the size more than anything. Well if the rumored 5.3" plus screen does come with a quad-core S4 Pro then we can talk.
All I know is the Galaxy Note II was just announced. If they announce a quad-core S4 Pro phone with a screen 5.3" or larger than I WILL check it out.
Right now I can only go with what is announced. I really want to see what Google has up it's sleeve with the Nexus'.
I mean we all know the quad-core 1.7GHz Krait S4 Pro with Adreno 320 is way better than the overclocked quad-core 1.6GHz E4 on the new Galaxy Note II.
74. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4831; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
I really would love to see a quad-core Krait S4 Pro in the U.S. Galaxy Note II but I don't think that will happen. They would have announced that in their Unpacking Event.
One can only hope! :-)
77. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1522; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
Well, the S4 Pro quad cores don´t have the baseband chip with LTE integrated. So what would be the reason to change the chip then? (from Samsung perspective, not yours).
So the better you can hope for is the S4 Pro MSM8960T, that even if it´s a dual core is Krait and has Adreno 320.
88. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4831; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Umm I read that ALL Qualcomm Krait S4 SoC's are compatible with US LTE networks. I really don't know what you are talking about.
If that is true then that is news to me.
94. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1522; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
I don't know where you read it but it's wrong: Qualcomm has chips that have the baseband integrated and some others than don't.
Right now there isn't any S4 quad core that has any wireless band integrated (wifi only, but not phone basebands).
That's because they were intended for tablets, where integration is not a must as they battery is bigger and you can just add an expternal chip for the cell modem if needed even if it consumes a bit more battery.
You can check the list of integrated basebands in each chipset here:
Ony two krait quad cores:
APQ8064 (wifi only, no cell modem)
MPQ8064 (no modem at all)
95. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4831; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Hey +1 for you.
I guess if Qualcomm wants those SoC's to hit the US, they will need to add the cell modems for them to work. I still feel confident that Qualcomm will fix that & get it to the U.S. ASAP.
Thank you TylerGrunter, I stand corrected.
96. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1522; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
They will hit the US for sure, just with external cell chipsets like in the tablets.
LG Optimus G (Eclipse in US) is a good example of a phone doing just that.
And I'm sure in the future you'll see sevaral tablets with the quad cores Krait, as the chip is 50% more powerful in CPU and around 70% in GPU than the better Tegra 3.
But still I don't think Samsung will use them for the Note II, if they have to add the extra chip anyway they'll do with the Exynos 4412, not the Krait. If not they'll use the a dual core Krait (see my previous comment).
97. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
your right SAE. ALL Kraits are US LTE/HSPA+42 compatible. Hell, all Q chips in general are because they are the only ones with the copyrwrited IP for that... which is why so far they are the only ones to accomplish that.
98. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
oh no.. I stand corrected. Tyler is right.
MDM9x15 is the modem used in the LG, its not integrated. Nor is it integrated on any of the Pro chips either.
http://compare-processors.com/lg-to-use-qualcomm-a pq8064-in-upcoming-smartphone/5686/
5585/qualcomm-announces-mdm9x25-mdm8225-support-3gpp-rel10-advanced-ca rrier-aggregation
Wifi, blutooth and the rest are integrated however.
Thats not very smart. From what I can tell on Q's website, they are selling the MDM9x15 modem as well, so if it's compatible with other chipsets like Exynos, they are selling away their competitive advantage against Samsung in the US. The only reason there was ever a chip switch was for the integrated LTE/HSPA+ modems. Maybe its finally the end of that nonsense.
The odd thing is that many websites are still saying the quad/pro have integrated on chip LTE/HSPA+, so either they are wrong and just assuming or they know something that I cant find.

36. Commentator (Posts: 3684; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
At least it's non-pentile. It is weird that they dropped down from 800x1280 though. Density won't be all that impressive.
39. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
they made it a lil thinner to make it more handle-able, did they not? besides, now its in more of a "standard" resolution and in RGB so a lot of complaints should be gone.
40. korean411 (Posts: 78; Member since: 04 May 2009)
at first when i read the review it was weird good thing is that they have a 16:9 display which is a plus for them and they aren't using a pentile but RGB matrix and considering this preview says they are using super amoled plus. the only question i have is since samsung just did an lte with quad core device will it be like that with the states for me i really hope so.
49. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
we've all got our fingers crossed. If not, it should come with AT LEAST the Krait pro, if not the krait quad. A heck of a lot better than the regular Krait at least.
73. korean411 (Posts: 78; Member since: 04 May 2009)
hope so cause in the gs3 the quad core processor and lte radio was separately integrated meaning the quad core processor had it is own space and the lte radio had it own space in simple terms but i am sure this is the year we will see quad with lte cause if uk and europe has it then we should get it as well since europe and uk don't really have an 4g lte and we do
47. thebest (Posts: 231; Member since: 08 Jul 2012)
quality is more important than the specs......
53. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
and there is zero reason to go above 720p at mobile screen size. Your eyes wont notice the difference, its pretty impossible, and you will hog tons and tons more of resources.
Maybe when the E5 quad comes out, just because it will have crazed amounts of power, but still, there will be no need. Tablets.....eeehhh. .maybe.. phones.. not so much.
57. thebest (Posts: 231; Member since: 08 Jul 2012)
actually, the galaxy note 2 is huge, but its still intended to be used as a phone, so a 300ppi density would have been better,but this is the first time that samsung has come out of the pentile matrix display, so they need some time to improve....but the display would be better than the galaxy s3's display because finally, samsung finally throws out the useless pentile matrix display, the build quality should have been improved......anyways, its a good device but i think it would be quite expensive
91. korean411 (Posts: 78; Member since: 04 May 2009)
very true
82. tha.fox (Posts: 100; Member since: 30 Nov 2011)
pok did you not read its rgb not pentile?
99. u-suck-more (Posts: 529; Member since: 26 Aug 2011)
it is written here. on this site only. as RGB, but every other site says it is Pentile. so i think phonearena reported e wrong info

63. thebest (Posts: 231; Member since: 08 Jul 2012)
yes,the note 2 has a lot, but why should we bring the apple vs samsung battle into this....he could also be a nokia or a bb user.....apple has specs that are optimized for apple hardware and ios, so it can do any task very well with what it has and its gpu rocks....so, in other words, we can say "to each, his own"
the note 2 is pretty impressive, i don't understand why he wants more, the display is good, the specs are more than enough...so we can say....the note 2 is a good device, it is the best phablet in the world today.........samsung continues to impress

66. Jonathan41 (Posts: 532; Member since: 22 Mar 2012)
If you expected anything more than a larger, slightly updated SG3 then you were bound to be disappointed. This New version of the Note is very satisfactory. Frankly, I don't know what all the hype is about. The notes just a big Samsung Galaxy.

Where is Super AMOLED Plus with RGB ??
13. korean411 (Posts: 78; Member since: 04 May 2009)
The Galaxy Note II is armed with a brighter and larger 5.5" HD Super AMOLED Plus display with resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. While this means that pixel density will be slightly lower compared to the original Note, in reality, the image quality shouldn't suffer any losses, as this screen used the standard RGB matrix, instead of PenTile

Where is "Plus" label ?
101. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
If I remember, Samsung didn't label it SA+ even though it used the RGB matrix.
Explained there.
4. FranksGT (Posts: 167; Member since: 29 Aug 2012)
Disappointed they couldn't make a unique or even slightly different design.
7. McLTE (Posts: 820; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
I think it's awesome! conservative, but nice design.. I'm glad they didn't follow the design of the SIII too closely.
I think it'll be a great device!
I like that it's using the Plus screen.. no more pentile!
I am DEFINITELY picking it up when it hits Verizon.. even if it doesn't get the Exynos in the US version.

Exactly, if the note looked more like the S3 It'd be hidious. Just thinking about those rounded curves already enough to give me shivers.

Looks almost identical to the GS3, besides a little shaving on the corners.

IS Verizon getting a version of this?

This is awesome. I love it. Can't wait.
I hope they put an S4 Pro and an Adreno 320 in it. That'd complete the package.

That's part of my disappointment. Note II left many things to be desired. But we can always wait for the next Nexus or the LGOG.

Here's my take on it.
I'm not sure about the S4 Pro thing, we'll have to wait and see how it compares to this new Exynos with the benchmarks. Who knows, it may turn out to be an equal beast.
The GPU is said to be the same Mali 400, but overclocked. I'm not sure if it'll make that big of a difference, but I guess we'll have to see. I'd still prefer the Note 2 over the new LG phone because of Jelly Bean and the larger screen. Only a slight difference here.
I also prefer TouchWiz over the crappy LG skin, and I can disable all of the bloatware I don't need, such as S Voice, Media Hub, etc. Basically everything except S Note.
Also, Nova Launcher. Haha!
tl;dr Basically, the Note 2 has better software, but we'll have to wait until the official benchmarks of the processor and GPU.

I hope Samsung does mention what SOC will be in the U.S. version.

hope so cause they just put LTE and quadcore processor with the gs3 in korea so, crossing my fingers

I'm not really impressed. Why does Samsung make phones every several months and really never have a "breakthrough" with the specs? Okay, cool....it has a 1.6 Quad Core Processor...thats new! 5.5" Super Amold HD display, non-pentil...cool...again...no big deal. 3,100 mAH battery..cool...again, the Droid MaXX has been out for months..nothing new. Its thinner..wow..okay. Not sure if the Camera is a 8MP or what...but even if its a 10MP...so...there is a LG phone coming out with a 13 MP. So again....thanks for another nice shiny phone with nothing that really says "WOW, I gotta have this phone!"
25. korean411 (Posts: 78; Member since: 04 May 2009)
lets galaxy note to will be the first phone coming out with 4.1 jelly bean out of the box. i don't see a need for a 13mp camera. i mean don't get me wrong it is a good option but 8mp is good enough. they have a better multitasking feature much better then the not 10.1 lot of software applications like airview plus the implement the s pen a lot more to the phone which is a plus. also it has a 16 by 9 display which alot of phones don't have. the note II is a promising device but we all have to wait and play with it to determine how good it can be. but i understand what you saying. LG is trying so hard to be the get to company for high end smartphones which quite frankly honestly speaking had struggled for a long time now. I hope they do well with the phones they just announced, also it is hard for lg especially if their device is not really out there but we will see. Considering how fast technology i going in this world today it is not odd that especially smartphones are released every year
