Dr. Robert Silgals has cared for Lowcountry patients who have cancer and blood disorders for almost 29 years. Over the past decade, he has seen dramatic leaps of learning about what stimulates cancer to grow at the cellular level. "We've developed an array of targeted agents that actually attack the abnormalities in the tumor cell to try to turn them off and destroy them." Targeted agents can be more effective than chemotherapy or radiotherapy with less impact on healthy cells. These agents have led to great strides in the treatment of breast cancer, lymphomas and chronic myeloid leukemia with hope for many other types of cancer on the horizon. "New drugs are being released almost on a monthly basis." Dr. Silgals chose to specialize in oncology and hematology because it's a high-tech field that allows him to interact directly with patients. "We have a relatively small office with a marvelous staff," says Dr. Silgals of his practice, Carolina Cancer & Blood Care Specialists. Callout: "I think the patients really feel like they get personal care here." - Robert Silgals, MD Medical School: University of Kentucky College of Medicine Residency: Medical College of Virginia Fellowship: The Lombardi Cancer Center at Georgetown University, medical oncology and hematology To make an appointment with Dr. Silgals, please call (843) 572-1212.

The economic outlook for the Upper Midwest
The economic outlook for the Upper Midwest
The Cooperative Network, a federation of cooperatives in Minnesota and Wisconsin, held their annual dairy policy and leadership conference yesterday and today in Rochester, Minn. On Tuesday, a panel of four Dairy Industry Advisory Committee members discussed some of the thoughts and reasons behind the 23 recommendations they presented in early March.
Generally, the panel said they sympathized with the restrictions the Secretary of Agriculture needed to work under. Because of bureaucracy and the federal budget, it is rather difficult for Secretary Vilsack to make swift changes to any one program.
In the afternoon, a Capitol Hill staffer and dairy lobbyist spelled out that while many of the recommendations from DIAC are very good, some problems remain. First, the House Agriculture Committee has jurisdiction over only some of the recommendations. Second, for those recommendations under the committee's purview, this year's federal budget suggestions will make any change very difficult.
The conference will take up analysis of the Foundation for the Future program and hear from local legislators today.
Yesterday morning, the first presentation came from a staff writer at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Seeing data and survey results for the 9th district (headquartered in Minneapolis, but including Mont., N.D., S.D., M.N., northern Wis., and the upper peninsula of Mich.), we were struck by two regional surveys on optimism.
The first was the yearly survey of business leaders optimism versus pessimism. As you can see, the lines mirror each other, and optimism has shot up between 2010 and 2011.
When thinking locally, however, businesses seem to have more confidence than in our national economy. The second graph showed that nearly everyone has confidence in his or her firm doing well. But, as the thinking becomes more big picture – into local state and national economies – businesses were less confident in the next twelve months.
For the full presentation including both of these graphs, visit http://www.minneapolisfed.org/research/data/district/forecast/dec2010/20.... Or visit minneapolisfed.org for even more information.
In line with the optimism is the outlook for farm income by agricultural lenders. Coupled with higher land values and rent in the 4th quarter of 2010, things look much better than one year ago. http://minneapolisfed.typepad.com/roundup/2011/03/just-about-any-farmer-...
Leaders here think we have turned a corner economically in the agricultural sector. Can we do the same on the policy side? The optimism graph is still being tabulated.

AS POLLING day nears for this year's European poll, the various parties contesting the seats have been sending out their candidates to meet with residents and supporters and convey what they can do for the electorate.
► CONSERVATIVE candidate Alex Avern, who is from Blackwell, has been out on the campaign trail speaking to local businesses with other supporters and fellow candidate Anthea McIntyre.
Ms McIntyre took her seat in the European Parliament in November 2011 and was made the party's employment spokesman in January 2012.
Miss Avern told The Standard the response they had received had been very positive and reiterated that it was a vital election in which only the Conservative Party stood for reform, renegotiation and an in/out referendum.
"Only the Conservatives can deliver real change in Europe.
"We are beginning to see new jobs coming to our area and the economy starting to recover.
"The ongoing regeneration of the town centre is bringing more people into Bromsgrove and the feeling amongst business people is positive."
Ms McIntyre added: "In the European Parliament, Conservatives are backing our small businesses by securing exemptions from additional EU regulation.
"We recognise 85 per cent of all new jobs come from small businesses and we need to help them thrive" she said.
► LABOUR European election candidate Sion Simon met up with members of the Bromsgrove party to listen to their concerns.
Among the issues raised were road and transport infrastructure investment, especially in light of proposals to build thousands of new properties in the district in the next few years.
The town's Labour group said it was hopeful there would be an increase in the number of Labour MEPs representing the West Midlands after next Thursday's election.
Among the priorities highlighted by Labour candidates have been 'sensible reform to the European Union', less waste and delivering more economic growth for the West Midlands.
Coun Chris Bloore, Labour's campaign organiser in Bromsgrove, said "Residents from across the district are telling us they want their future MEPs to back jobs, rights at work, growth and transport infrastructure investment locally.
"They want MEPs that will stand up for our area in ensuring Bromsgrove gets a better deal."
The Labour leader on Bromsgrove District Council, Coun Luke Mallett, said: "Labour will stand up for the investment needed in Bromsgrove to support jobs, communities and growth, both in Europe and here in Worcestershire."
►LIBERAL Democrat Phil Bennion was on the campaign trail in Bromsgrove, visiting Artrix and meeting party activitsts.
Mr Bennion, who has been a farmer for almost 30 years, also spoke to stall-holders at the town's popular farmers' market.
The Liberal Democrats' North Worcestershire chairman Janet King said: "He listened with interest as they spoke of their issues, taking home with him some individual cases for his attention."
She added he was a regular visitor to Worcestershire and had a proven track record in the European Parliament picking up issues for West Midlands' residents.
Mr Bennion also met staff at Bromsgrove's new blue light centre – one of the first of its kind in the UK.
And his visit concluded with a visit to Hanbury Hall where he looked at the parterre garden which was restored using funding by the EU.
"Bromsgrove Liberal Democrats wish to thank everyone, who gave Phil such a warm welcome, and are looking forward to seeing him again soon." added Mrs King.
Visit www.philbennion.org for more on Mr Bennion and http://westmidslibdems.org.uk/en/ the Liberal Democrats' West Midlands.
►AS PART of her Euro election campaigning, Nikki Sinclaire, from the We Want a Referendum Now party, visited Bromsgrove's Primrose Hospice.
Ms Sinclaire was given a tour of the hospice and spoke to staff, volunteers and patients. She also spoke about EU funding available for organisations.
She said after seeing what a happy place it was, the visit changed her perception of hospices.
"It shows what can be done in the community when people pull together."
During her time there, she also looked at the plans for a children's garden intended to offer a safe haven for youngsters to help them explore their feelings whilst dealing with bereavements.
It takes children along a winding path, past a sleeping dragon, to a fire pit which doubles as a barbecue.
There, there is an area where they can take part in quiet and noisy exploratory work to help them express their feelings in a positive way.
There is also a water feature where children can display decorated stones they have painted in memory of a loved one.
Nurse manager Libby Mytton said: "She came for a look around and we spoke about the difficulties in funding facing us and other hospices.
"The visit went really well and she was really interested in what we do here."
►A SOUTH Bromsgrove High School student organised for a Green Party European election candidate to sign a pledge to help end extreme poverty.
ONE Youth Ambassador Emily Watkins welcomed Will Duckworth to the campus last week.
The pledge, which was signed by Mr Duckworth, focused on people, politicians, originations and country's working together to virtually eliminated extreme poverty by 2030.
As a part of the campaign Emily has been contacting the West Midlands' European candidates to urge them to sign the pledge.
In June she will be travelling to Brussels, for a 'power summit' to meet other ONE Youth Ambassadors from across Europe.
Emily said: "It was a pleasure to meet with Will Duckworth and I am very pleased that he agreed to sign our pledge.
"Hopefully other MEP candidates for the West Midlands will follow his lead and agree to sign."

I love my purple Thai pad and use it is daily to read books and for use with my tablet. I have taken it with me when traveling. It is a perfect piece of equipment and I love the bookmark tassels. My problem with the Thai pad is that it wears out in the lower right corner where my hand/writs cause pressure points and friction from turning pages or regular functionality when using my tablet, etc. I have about a 1 inch split in the fabric and this is my second time stitching it. The silk wears thin and frays...if this does not hold I may consider purchasing the product again. The manufacturer needs to do a better job reinforcing the fabric in the wrist area along with the bookmark tassels (mine fell off but I've tucked the bookmark into the side pocket). I have recommended this item to several family members and friends who have purchased it. I hope they do not experiencing the same issues I have encountered. In spite of my issues, I still use it....

How many of you have found out that this can also work UPSIDE down so that the base is facing you. With a book weight in front of that, stand your Harper Magazine or Atlantic or New Yorker and even half of the NY Times to stand without holding. Granted the pad must be on a table not one's lap to avoid sliding.I am still looking for something to hold medium sized hard back books as I mentioned to the Customer Service in a USPS letter this past week. Anyone else have an idea???It does do a better job holding LARGE books than it does medium sized. The former stays open on the pad more easily than do the medium sized books.

Can no longer do without
By Bayleaf
from North Bethesda, MD
A friend recently visited and I was telling her how worried I was that soon I would no longer be able to hold a book to read. My right wrist appears to be getting weaker and it's difficult to hold either a book or my e-reader. She suggested I purchase this product and it is fabulous. No more strain and I can read as much as I want. I purchased this one and the softer pyramid-shaped one for the bedroom. Best purchases ever!
Great iPad Aid

I love the Thai Pad. Thai pad is very comfortable to use. My iPad stays secured. The Thai Pad allows me to angle the iPad at a great angle for both reading and typing.

I decided to take a chance and purchase a Thai Pad for my disabled husband so he skype with our son without trying to hold a Kindle in his lap, which is difficult for him. The Thai pad holds the Kindle in just the right position for skyping and is very light weight, so he doesn't mind having it on his lap. This is a great product..

I use it more than I thought I would
By romancefictionwriter
from Centennial, Colorado
I originally bought the Thai Pad to hold my reading material to give my arthritic hands a break. Then, I realized I can use it to hold my edited manuscript pages while I make the changes on the computer. It's easier than the bamboo clipboard style paper holder I bought from Levenger a while back. The Thai Pad has no stiff clip that's hard to open and close when I need to change pages. Instead, I just move the page away and start on the next one underneath it. It's also not as high as the clipboard, so I can put it right in front of the screen and see what I'm during just fine. I also appreciate that a portion of the purchase price goes to the people who make them.
Simply essential
By Melody
from San Diego, CA
This is such an elegantly simple product, and one I use every day to support books or an iPad mini. It is so light-weight that it is comfortable to hold whether I'm sitting or curled up in a chair or reclining in bed. I've owned one for several years and, because I'm so happy with it, I've given several as gifts.
works but doesn't last
By reado
Design of Thai Pad is excellent for holding a book on your lap at a useful reading angle. However, the silk cover fabric soon splits and tears under use, particularly with heavy art or photo books. Have had to improvise a new cover using tee-shirts -- ugly. Poor durability makes the price high.
Cheap fabric
By stpaul
from Wichita, KS
Functionality of this product is great - so much so that I bought two. I use them everyday. Problem is that the fabric these are covered with is so cheap that both have holes worn through where the edge of my tablet (rounded and smooth, I might add) has worn holes in them. It would be one thing if the edge of my tablet was sharp but it's as smooth as glass and has still made the fabric threadbare. For this price, these should last a lot longer since they just sit there behind my tablet. With the stuffing now coming out of both, they will be going into the trash soon. Pity - I liked the product but I won't buy another.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: We would like to express our gratitude for your review of our Thai Pad. We were happy to hear that you've enjoyed the functionality of it.

Anesthesia: After Your Surgery
Anesthesia: After Your Surgery
You've just had surgery. During surgery, you received medication called anesthesia to keep you comfortable and pain-free. After surgery, you may experience some pain or nausea. This is normal. Here are some tips for feeling better and recovering after surgery.
|Stay on schedule with your medication.
Going Home
Your doctor or nurse will show you how to take care of yourself when you go home. He or she will also answer your questions. Have an adult family member or friend drive you home. For the first 24 hours after your surgery:
Do not drive or use heavy equipment.
Do not make important decisions or sign legal documents.
Avoid alcohol.
Have someone stay with you, if needed. He or she can watch for problems and help keep you safe.
Be sure to keep all follow-up doctor's appointments. And rest after your procedure for as long as your doctor tells you to.
Coping with Pain
If you have pain after surgery, pain medication will help you feel better. Take it as directed, before pain becomes severe. Also, ask your doctor or pharmacist about other ways to control pain, such as with heat, ice, and relaxation. And follow any other instructions your surgeon or nurse gives you.
Tips for Taking Pain Medication
To get the best relief possible, remember these points:
Pain medications can upset your stomach. Taking them with a little food may help.
Most pain relievers taken by mouth need at least 20 to 30 minutes to take effect.
Taking medication on a schedule can help you remember to take it. Try to time your medication so that you can take it before beginning an activity, such as dressing, walking, or sitting down for dinner.
Constipation is a common side effect of pain medications. Contact your doctor before taking any medications like laxatives or stool softeners to help relieve constipation. Also ask about any dietary restrictions, because drinking lots of fluids and eating foods like fruits and vegetables that are high in fiber can also help. Remember, don't take laxatives unless your surgeon has prescribed them.
Mixing alcohol and pain medication can cause dizziness and slow your breathing. It can even be fatal. Don't drink alcohol while taking pain medication.
Pain medication can slow your reflexes. Don't drive or operate machinery while taking pain medication.
If your health care provider advises you to take acetaminophen, the generic name for Tylenol and other brand-name pain relievers, to help relieve your pain, ask for a daily dose. Remember that acetaminophen or other pain relievers may interact with prescription medicines or other over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. The FDA recommends reading OTC medication labels carefully to clearly understand the list of active ingredients, directions, and any precautions to help avoid taking too much acetaminophen. If you have questions, ask your pharmacist or health care provider.
Managing Nausea
Some people have an upset stomach after surgery. This is often due to anesthesia, pain, pain medications, or the stress of surgery. The following tips will help you manage nausea and get good nutrition as you recover. If you were on a special diet before surgery, ask your doctor if you should follow it during recovery. These tips may help:
Don't push yourself to eat. Your body will tell you what to eat and when.
Start off with clear liquids and soup. They are easier to digest.
Progress to semisolids (mashed potatoes, applesauce, and gelatin) as you feel ready.
Slowly move to solid foods. Don't eat fatty, rich, or spicy foods at first.
Don't force yourself to have three large meals a day. Instead, eat smaller amounts more often.

KAHULUI - Maui bid aloha to U.S. Sen. Daniel K. Inouye on Saturday.
Master of ceremonies Tony Takitani said that the gathering of family, friends and admirers in the Maui Arts & Cultural Center's Castle Theater was a celebration of life for Inouye.
And, "what an incredible life it was," he said.

The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
Inouye was a leading figure in the political revolution that swept Democrats into control in Hawaii in 1954. He entered Congress at the dawn of statehood and was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1962. He was a World War II hero, winner of the Medal of Honor, a statesman and a friend. Inouye died Dec. 17. He was 88.
"I think he loved our island more than all the rest," Takitani said. "At least he made us feel that way."
Mayor Alan Arakawa thanked Inouye's widow, Irene Hirano Inouye, and the rest of the late senator's family for allowing Neighbor Island residents the opportunity to celebrate his life.
The Maui remembrance was the last for the Neighbor Islands. Memorial services were held Thursday on the Big Island and Friday on Kauai. He was eulogized in services Dec. 23 at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in a service that included President Barack Obama.
The Maui event was more low key.
Inouye never forgot Maui County or the Neighbor Islands, Arakawa said, adding that his first question always was: "What can we do to help you in Maui County?"
From the supercomputer in Kihei to telescope facilities atop Haleakala, Inouye was always looking for projects for Maui, Arakawa said.
"There are no words to describe how grateful we are," he said.
Arakawa emphasized how the senator, despite being "larger than life," was down to earth and speaking to him would be like talking to an uncle or a neighbor.
"Somehow we all felt we knew Senator Inouye personally," he said. "He was one of us. He was our senior senator."
Lt. Gov. Shan Tsutsui, who ascended to the state's second-highest office last week as a result of a political domino effect set off by Inouye's death, fought back emotion as he spoke of the late senator.
"For me, it's hard to imagine he's no longer with us," he said. "Maui will never forget Senator Inouye because he never forgot about us."
He said Inouye will never be replaced, but collectively, Hawaii citizens "can all work together and follow the example he set for all of us."
House Speaker Emeritus and Wailuku Rep. Joe Souki fondly remembered Inouye.
"He was always thinking about what kind of future we could build for our young people," he said. "Dan Inouye was the right man for the right time for our young state."
Maui County Council Member Riki Hokama of Lanai told the gathering of about 600 people how important Inouye was to residents of Lanai. There, the Kaumalapau Harbor breakwater was heavily damaged by Hurricane Iwa in November 1982 and by Hurricane Iniki in September 1992.
The harbor "is the lifeline of the island," he said. But needed repairs were delayed by bureaucratic wrangling.
Eventually, Inouye decided to insert money into the federal budget for repairs, and, through an obscure congressional provision, was able to get $3 million to make the harbor a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility, Hokama said.
"It changed the lives of every resident of Lanai."
Office of Hawaiian Affairs Chairwoman Colette Machado, calling herself a "Molokai tita," recalled how Inouye defended her when people complained about her being the senator's Molokai island representative in the mid-1990s.
"I was really rough, outspoken," she said, and she worried that Inouye would give her "gas" when people complained about her.
Instead, Inouye wrote a letter to her detractors, saying he was satisfied with her and his other Neighbor Island representatives and reminding them that Native Hawaiians had their land taken away illegally during the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, and "I believe we have a bit to repay."
Machado said Inouye was a friend to Native Hawaiians and helped provide federal support for agriculture on Molokai and for historic preservation at Kalaupapa.
Inouye also received tribute from his comrades in arms, the veterans of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and the 100th Infantry Battalion. The veterans, as well as Korean War and other veterans, were given seats of honor near the stage in the Castle Theater.
In a moment not on the remembrance program, the 442nd veterans were invited to sing their "Go For Broke" song.
They sang:
"Four Forty Second Infantry
We are the boys of Hawaii nei
We will fight for you
And the red white and blue
And will go the front
And back to Honolulu-lu-lu
Fighting for dear old Uncle Sam
Go for broke we don't give a damn
We will round up the huns
At the point of a gun
And victory will be ours
Go for broke! Four Four Two!
Go for broke! Four Four Two!
And victory will be ours."
Before the memorial service, Kula resident Suzanne Nakata, a member of the I Company Associates, a group affiliated with the nisei veterans, said that Inouye was an honored member of the fraternity of second-generation Japanese-Americans who fought prejudice at home and Nazi forces in Europe during World War II.
"It was a time when they were treated like second-class citizens," she said.
Nevertheless, the men served their country overseas, and the survivors came home to make a difference here. And Inouye exemplified that, Nakata said.
"He was truly a public servant," she said. "His whole life was serving the people of Hawaii."
Playing his ukulele, Willie K ended the celebration of Inouye's life with a chicken-skin rendition of "Danny Boy."
The lyrics to the classic Irish song include:
"Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so."
Inouye's ashes were flown back to Oahu on Saturday afternoon with members of his family. Kahului Airport firefighters saluted the senator with arches of water shot from firetrucks as the Hawaiian Airlines jet carrying his ashes passed by.

UNIVERSITY PARK -- He will have help, lots of it, on the offensive side of the ball.
He can turn around and hand it off to Zach Zwinak, a powerhouse, bulldozing running back who actually had a better season in 2012 than Silas Redd did at USC.
He can dump off 7-yard passes to one of his many big tight end targets -- Kyle Carter, Jesse James, Matt Lehman or Adam Breneman.
He can count on one of the best receivers in the country, Allen Robinson, to run a great route and get open in space.
He can check off Robinson and the tight ends to any one of several other quality receivers, including Brandon Felder and Eugene Lewis, or he can toss a screen pass to Zwinak, Bill Belton or Akeel Lynch out of the backfield.
He also should have time in the pocket to make up his mind because he has a strong offensive line, anchored by the brilliant John Urschel at right guard and gigantic Donovan Smith at left tackle.
Fact Box
PSU predictions
Cory Giger's picks for the Lions this season:
Record: 8-4 (4-4 in Big Ten, with losses to Michigan, Ohio State, Nebraska and Wisconsin)
Upset alert: It's not the same old Indiana, so the Oct. 5 trip to Bloomington could be dangerous
Starting QB: Christian Hackenberg
MVP on offense: Running back Zach Zwinak
MVP on defense: Safety Adrian Amos
He is Penn State's new starting quarterback. And we don't know who he is yet.
Bill O'Brien probably already knows who he is, but the coach hadn't yet made it public as of press time at the end of the weekend.
He could be Christian Hackenberg, the heralded freshman.
Or he could be Tyler Ferguson, the junior college transfer.
The one thing O'Brien has made clear throughout training camp is that no matter who he is for the opener against Syracuse, the quarterback competition will continue throughout the season.
So instead of saying "he" is the guy, everyone should get used to seeing it as O'Brien does -- that "they" are both the guys. At least until one separates himself, which could take a good bit of the season.
"Let's not put a huge amount of stock into who the starter is," O'Brien said. "That guy will start the game, but the other guy is going to play football for us this year."
The quarterback competition has drawn far and away the most interest leading up to the season, largely overshadowing what could be the bigger issue for the Nittany Lions -- their defense.
This isn't a typical PSU defense. Far from it.
The program staples have long been star linebackers and defensive linemen, but this year -- outside of the quarterbacks -- the linebackers and D-line are the two biggest question marks on the team. Even the secondary and offensive line, two areas that typically have always been concerns, appear to be in much better shape than the front seven on defense.
"Our three linebackers that are in starting spots right now, I believe that they are very, very good players," O'Brien said of starters Mike Hull, Glenn Carson and Nyeem Wartman. "They're tough guys, they're smart guys, and they're instinctive players."
The issue, though, is that there's virtually no experience behind those three, so the Lions will desperately need the starters to stay healthy.
The defensive line has a star in end Deion Barnes, but the other three spots are largely unproven, and there's not as much depth as in years past. Even tackle DaQuan Jones, considered the best interior lineman on defense, hasn't really established himself as a top-tier player yet.
"Honestly, we can be as good as we want to be," Jones said.
The Lions will need that unit to be very good, particularly during Big Ten play when opposing teams will be trying to play smash-mouth football rather than air it out against PSU's quality secondary.
Penn State has a new defensive coordinator in John Butler, who coached the defensive backs last year. Ted Roof left for Georgia Tech, and O'Brien took no time at all giving the job to Butler.
"He's done an excellent job," O'Brien said of Butler. "He's one of the best coaches I've ever been around. He's a quick-minded guy. He's tough. The kids really respect him. He's a great communicator. It's a competitive practice because he and I are very competitive people."
Penn State's defense typically has been so strong that it helps the offensive players going up against them every day in practice. This year, and perhaps for the next few years as O'Brien continues to bring in quality offensive recruits, it could be the other way around. Just don't say that to Butler.
"[Defense] has always been the brand here -- smart, tough, physical, playmaking defense," he said. "That's always going to be the mission, no matter who is the head coach and who is the defensive coordinator."
Despite the question marks, looking at the Lions' roster, it's easy to see they have enough talent in enough places to have a good season. But there's that 800-pound gorilla in the room.
There's just not much of it in several key areas, and with only 66 scholarship players, the Lions cannot afford to lose any key players to injury.
The 65-scholarship limit sanction doesn't kick into effect until next year and runs for four seasons through 2017, but Penn State is already essentially there. O'Brien and his staff will try to do everything they can to keep players healthy, but that's virtually impossible over the course of a long season.
"It's a contact sport. It's a collision sport. And it's played by guys that are tough guys and physically tough and like to hit each other," O'Brien said.
If the Lions can keep their 22 starters and key backups healthy and at 100 percent, they should be able to compete with and/or beat every team on the schedule. That includes Ohio State.
But for every player who goes down or gets banged up and has to play at less than 100 percent, Penn State's margin for error becomes slimmer and slimmer.
That's the main reason why the consensus record prediction among media members in Pennsylvania is 8-4. That's also the pick here.

Sources: IDF [Twitter], al-Qassam [Twitter], Janes, AP/YouTube [Interceptor hit footage]
quote: So the system chooses not to intercept every missile?
quote: 35% of all missiles fired are shot down. Assuming the 70% rate listed above, the system would need to be firing interceptors at 50% of all fired missiles to achieve this rate. If anything this seems to suggest that the system is operating at or beyond the levels it was during testing. Other sources seem to indicate that a very large percentage of these missiles are falling harmlessly in unpopulated areas, suggesting that interception isn't even necessary in the vast majority of launches.Correct me if I am wrong, but this sounds like a huge success.
quote: If the interceptors have a 35% success rate and only 500 were fired, then only 175 enemy missiles would have been shot down.So just how many interceptors were fired? (as 500 is unlikely to be the right number) Or rather, how many enemy missiles have been aimed at dust (thus not needed to be intercepted)?
quote: 35% is the absolute minimum success rate assuming the launchers decided that ALL rockets were an immediate threat to the populace.
quote: Iron Dome intentionally ignores some rockets. You can't make claims like 35% until you know the number of rockets the system chose to engage as well as the total number of rockets. 70% might very well be closer to the correct value.Look at it another way. If they reprogrammed the system to engage every rocket it saw, and not ignore any, what would be the number of rockets intercepted? That doesn't even factor in the possibility of the system being overwhelmed because it is no longer carefully choosing its targets, but even so, the number of interceptions would skyrocket (pun intended).

A man was transported to a hospital on Monday with non-life-threatening injuries after a crash in Greeley on U.S. 34 in the intersection outside Centerplace.
Greeley police Sgt. Susan West, spokeswoman for the department, said officers believe a man driving a Ford Ranger pickup ran a red light about 12:45 p.m. in the intersection of U.S. 34 Bypass and 47th Avenue, colliding with a Dodge pickup.
The driver of the Ranger was transported with injuries, and the passenger suffered a laceration on her face, according to police. The passengers in the Dodge were uninjured, West said.
The crash slowed traffic in that intersection and blocked northbound traffic on 47th Avenue entering the intersection as crews worked to clean up the crash.
West said further details of the crash were still unavailable Monday afternoon.

Study: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Have Caused Irreversible Effects on Sea-Level Rise

Emissions up until this point have ensured an irreversible sea-level rise of 1.1 meters by the year 3000
A new study has found that it's too late to reverse the
effects that greenhouse gas emissions will have
on sea levels over the next thousand years -- but we could lessen the impact of these effects if proper changes are made.
According to research by scientists at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Manchester Metropolitan University and the Universit
é catholique de Louvain, greenhouse gas emissions produced up to this point has ensured an irreversible sea-level rise of 1.1 meters by the year 3000. This number could increase, they warn, if no action is taken to reduce these levels -- and the effects could extend into thousands of years into the future.
The research team came to this conclusion by modeling sea-level changes over thousands of years while including all of our planet's ice sheets and warming of the oceans into its projections. This includes glaciers, ice caps and the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The team said this has never been done before.
Using a climate modeling system called LOVECLIM, the team analyzed several scenarios over the next thousand years. It found that there will be a sea-level rise of at least 1.1 meters by the year 3000, but if other certain emissions scenarios were followed, it could increase to 2.1, 4.1 or even 6.8 meters.
The study also found that the Greenland ice sheet was the cause of over half of the sea-level rises while thermal expansion of the ocean came in second place and glaciers/ice came in third.
"Ice sheets are very slow components in the climate system; they respond on time scales of thousands of years," said Professor Philippe Huybrechts, co-author of the study. "Together with the
long lifetime of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
, this inertia is the real poison on the climate system; anything we do now that changes the forcing in the climate system will necessarily have long consequences for the ice sheets and sea level.
"Ultimately, the current polar ice sheets store about 65 metres of equivalent sea level and if climatic warming will be severe and long-lasting, all ice will eventually melt. Mankind should limit the concentration of greenhouse gases at the lowest possible level as soon as possible. The only realistic option is a drastic reduction of the emissions. The lower the ultimate warming will be, the less severe the ultimate consequences will be."

RE: This is good news
a) Perhaps limited groups have started to do this recently. However, this is not the case with the most damning reports I've read. When asked for the data so that it could be verified, they destroyed original raw climate data and dumped a load of modified data without so much as an equation that could get it back to the original.
b) More recently, groups have in fact been submitting their data and methods. Though it is still common to get modified data and not the raw data. That said, there has also been more contrasting analysis recently. In the most recent reports I've read, the conclusion, rather than the data or method, was called into question.
c) I think he's confusing Al Gore with a scientist. His humble abode consumes 4 time energy of the average household in the U.S., while he preaches global warming. That said, I still haven't seen any climatologists publicly step up to the plate and say "This is how it's done.", while showing off their residence. Interestingly, the "Oil Monger" Bush, who gets railed for his lack of ecologic interest has a nice eco-friendly geothermal heating/cooling system for his house. Of course, his reasons are economic and not ecologic, but that just proves the two need not be mutually exclusive.
d) Honest - doubtful, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for the moment.
Open - I've never seen them accepting of an alternate viewpoint (at least not in public). In my experience, they tend to play off the opposition as imbeciles too stupid to waste time on with meaningful discussion (again in a public setting).
Public - Sure, they are all over the place.
Debate - See point about openness.
e) In reality, most climatologist are probably not prone to denigrating and insulting others. However, those that represent them and interact with the media are often guilty of it. Unfortunately, the non climatology community (read "The world at large") only ever interact with these. If they want to be taken more seriously, they need to take us more seriously (see point about openness above).
If you want to be taken seriously, you need to at least given some counter examples to his points. References are even better if you have the time. Simply saying "They don't" or "They do" doesn't make it so.
While we are on the subject of global warming and greenhouse gases, do you know what the most abundant greenhouse gas is? It is the same whether you check by concentration (factually) or by its contribution to the green house effect (debatable). I'll give you a hint: It contains NO CARBON. Of the greenhouse gases, we contribute to, do you know what percentage we contribute? Any effect we can cause is limited to this as an overall percentage. Likewise, any resolution should be limited to this percentage. To go beyond this is to oppose the natural cycle.
I'm all for better power efficiency, cleaner air, and the likes. I'll even spend money into it for the real benefits it brings: long term savings, better health, etc. I'm not opposed to the idea of preserving the environment for our children to enjoy. I just prefer to take a more realistic outlook on what we can realistically affect and prefer to use methods that are well thought out and economically viable. Some of the proposed solutions cause problems worse than the initial problem. As an example, you can force everyone to use electric vehicles and appliances in place of gas and natural gas. But if the power plant puts out more pollution to provide the extra electricity than is saved by removing gas and natural gas, then you've made the problem worse. Even if the plant is marginally better, you have to consider the waste and energy spent building new cars and appliances before the old ones reached the end of their useful life. The better solution would be to instead, continue using gas in the area and work on moving over to a cleaner plant. With improvements in the efficiency and technologies of clean plants, costs go down and people are tempted to move to electric on their own.

UTB recognizes the need for orderly management and retrieval of all official records and for a documented records retention and destruction schedule congruent with all state and federal laws and regulations. Therefore, in accordance with HOP 10.2.7 – Records Management and Retention and Texas Government Code, Chapter 441 – Libraries and Archives, the following procedure has been established for storage and retrieval of documents.
Departments wishing to send records to storage must submit the following documents to Records Management:
The department is responsible for maintaining records of the documents that are sent to storage in their Records Retention Schedule.
To request the retrieval of documents from storage must:
Documents that have met their retention period or that are not required to be kept in storage can be disposed by submitting a Request for Authority to Dispose of State Records form to Records Management. No documents will be destroyed without approval from Records Management.
NOTE: A state record may not be destroyed if any litigation, claim, negotiation, audit, open records request, administrative review, or other action involving the record is initiated before the expiration of a record's retention period. The state record may be destroyed after the action is complete or when the retention period expires, whichever is later.
The Texas State Library and Archives Commission or the agency's approved records retention schedule sets the record retention periods.
The Program Director for Records Management handles all matters in Records Management on behalf of the Vice President for Business Affairs. For additional information, contact Luis Hernandez at 956-882-5966 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

One might think the potentially nasty weather in Truckee on Saturday would bode well for the Wolverines in their state semifinal showdown against Cheyenne, which hails from north Las Vegas.
That might be a false assumption, said Truckee head coach Bob Shaffer.
"They're much bigger than us, and so that's why we're hoping for a halfway decent field. Because when the field is slippery and muddy, mass oftentimes is the determining factor," Shaffer said, adding that the cold-weather undergear that's now available should offset the low temperature.
"So I'm not sure bad weather is going to help us or hurt us. But it's not going to help us against those big linemen, that's for sure."
The National Weather Service calls for a 30 percent chance of snow showers Saturday, with a high near 28 degrees.
What's more certain than the weather report is the threat Cheyenne poses to the Wolverines' run at a fourth consecutive state championship. The large school, and first-year member of the Division I-A (formerly 3A), visits Truckee for an elimination state semifinal Saturday at 1 p.m.
"They are very big, very fast and very good," Shaffer said of the Desert Shields, whom Truckee has never faced.
Cheyenne was one of 10 schools that dropped down from the Division I (formerly 4A) to the Division I-A during the offseason, because not all of its sports were competitive in the highest classification. Despite its new divisional status, the school dwarfs Truckee in enrollment, while the football team was a DI playoff contender last year at this time.
A quick look at the Desert Shields' roster, and it's clear why the Wolverines have their work cut out for them. The largest lineman weighs in at 326 pounds, while others tip the scale at 299 pounds, 286 pounds, 258, 245, 238, 231 and so on. They also boast a 6-foot-5 receiver, Darius Gantt, and a 6-4, 220-pound tight end, Dylan Power.
Truckee's not without a bit of size of its own, as defensive end and tight end Zak Pettit is a beast at 6-4, 235, while lineman Blake Crosby is listed at 315 pounds. But Truckee's large numbers quickly drop off compared to Cheyenne's.
With their size on the line, the Desert Shields like to run the ball, particularly with senior running back Myloe Lewis. The compact, 5-8, 182-pound back is legit. He enters Saturday's contest as the state's Division I-A rushing and scoring leader, with 2,249 yards on 226 carries, and 38 total touchdowns.
"He has very good speed, he's strong and hard to bring down, and he's pretty elusive," Shaffer said. "From that standpoint, we might want a slippery field.
"Other than that, they don't throw a whole lot, but when they do they are effective because they run the ball so well. And they're very good at play-action passes, so we just need to make sure we're disciplined and read our keys and don't get fooled. If we can do that, I think we'll be in the heat of the battle with them."
Cheyenne is 9-2 on the year, with an early loss to Ayala of Chino Hills, Calif., 56-32, and another loss to DI Canyon Springs of Las Vegas, 42-8. Led by the prolific running of Lewis, the Desert Shields have posted 72 points on two occasions - a 72-47 win over Western and a 72-0 rout against Clark. They've outscored their opponents 420-261, averaging 266.6 rushing yards per game and only 26.1 passing yards.
Truckee, meanwhile, at 9-1, has outscored its opposition 369-92, using its traditional, stout defense and a well-balanced offense led by senior quarterback Erik Holmer and an extensive corps of capable running backs and receivers. The Wolverines average 176.6 passing yards per game and 239.4 rushing yards.
The Wolverines are banged up, however, as their leading running back and linebacker, Graham Christian, is questionable for Saturday, as is linebacker Julian Aguirre. Backup quarterback Louden Smith missed practice all week with injured ribs and had yet to be cleared as of Thursday, Shaffer said. Holmer, who has struggled with injuries but has come on strong of late, looks healthy and ready to play, his coach said.
"They do seem pretty focused. They know what's at stake," Shaffer said of his team. "It's one and done. If you lose you're handing in your gear on Monday. But they've been here before. I'm pretty sure most of them know what it's going to take to get past this hurdle. We're not overlooking this team by any stretch of the imagination."

A Surry County animal control officer took custody last week of two severely injured pit bulls*, found tethered with heavy logging chains behind a vacant business in Mt. Airy. The two reportedly are receiving care at the Surry County pound. One of the dogs had a lip hanging off of his muzzle and the other had a broken leg. According to a local rescuer, there was blood splattered over the surrounding area.
The news report doesn't say what treatment the dogs have received at the Surry County Pound or what their current condition is.
One Surry animal advocate asked me: "I wonder if these two boys will be the first pits to leave that shelter alive?" According to records obtained from Surry County as a result of a public records request, 17 "pit bulls" left the shelter alive between Jan. 1 and Oct 23, 2012: three were "released to owner" and 14 were "returned to owner." (I have no idea what the difference is.) Of the 14 dogs released to rescue and 111 dogs adopted from the Surry pound during that time period, none were identified as "pit bulls." (Not that animal control officers or shelter workers are actually are any good at identifying actual pit bulls when they see them, because they typically are not.)
The Surry County pound had a kill rate of almost 91% in 2011. Between Jan 1 and Oct. 23, 2012, the overall kill rate was just under 89%.
*I'm only calling them pit bulls because the news report does. One looks reasonably pit bull-esque, but the other looks more like an American bulldog, Rhodesian ridgeback or boxer mix.

If you love tablets but hate trying to type on them, a new tablet from a little-known tech company may re-kindle your love of the flatscreen. Because this flatscreen does not stay flat -- physical keyboard buttons can pop out of nowhere on this tablet screen, giving you an actual keyboard with disappearing, re-appearing keypad buttons for typing.
The company is called Tactus Technology, and their amazing instant pop-up keyboard is called a "dynamic tactile touchscreen". Tactus does not ever plan on introducing their own new line of tablets. Instead, they plan on selling this technology to OEMs -- original equipment manufacturers, the people who make your iPads and Android tablets -- and they will hopefully get this astounding feature onto as many tablets as possible in the future.
The tablet with the disappearing tactile keyboard was unveiled to the world last week at the CES (Consumer Electronic Show) in Las Vegas. They call it a "lumpy tablet", a nickname which does not do justice to the awesomeness and glamor potential of this technology. The disappearing keyboard has to been seen to be believed, and you can see the lumpy tablet in action in this a video from the BBC.
If you can imagine Saran Wrap instantly turning into bubble wrap, that's sort of how this revolutionary flatscreen works. The tablet screen remains totally flat during normal use. On your command, though, the flat screen will instantly "grow" small, bubble-like buttons that will miraculously pop out of your screen, allowing you to type with the full power of actual keyboard buttons.
You can imagine that fewer and fewer people would be damning their autocorrect if they could type their texts and emails on a screen that actually had physical keyboard buttons.
These clever inventors over at Tactus Technology plan on having this innovative screen in your hot little hands by the end of the year. "We expect to be in production in later 2013, early 2014 in mobile devices," Tactus executive Micah Yairi told the BBC. "Ultimately this could be used for game controllers, automobiles, basically any screen, any touchscreen basically could use this."
In other words, Tactus Technology is demonstrating their technology here on a tablet, but the "lumpy" technology could be used on any type of screen. And since the buttons magically morph into existence, they can morph into different configurations other than just a keyboard -- they could turn into a gaming console control pad, for instance.

Farm Bill Clause to Review: Harmful to Typical Southeast/Eastern Herds?
Farm Bill Clause to Review: Harmful to Typical Southeast/Eastern Herds?
Appears to give huge advantage to multiple herd operations – built in gaming? Your thoughts?
As the Farm Bill heads toward final passage, many are scrambling to find 'hidden details' which could bring on later problems. One such little-discussed clause could severely affect the typical Southeast / Eastern /Midwest family dairy farm - the one owner, one-herd scenario. Here's the clause, in the text developed and promoted by NMPF. PLEASE read carefully:
"(3) TREATMENT OF PRODUCERS WITH MULTIPLE DAIRY OPERATIONS. -If a dairy producer operates 2 or more dairy operations, each dairy operation of the producer shall separately register to receive basic production margin protection and purchase supplemental production margin protection and only those dairy operations so registered shall be covered by the stabilization program."
In the House version, it is found on Page 85-86, and in the Senate Farm Bill, it is found on pgs. 77-78, beginning on Line 19 of 77. (NOTE: this is where the text was located immediately prior to Mark-ups.)
This bill seemingly would allow corporations or LLCs (family or truly corporate in nature) who own multiple herds to freely play with the pounds between herds, and have one or more herds in the program, and one or more herds out of the program, thus gaming the system and having their cake and eating it too. This is a luxury practice which could not be implemented by owners of single herds. There appears to be little or nothing which would actually STOP this from occurring in the rest of the text of the controversial Supply Management language.
If the above paragraph/clause alarms you – you cannot keep silent any longer! Contact both your Senators' offices and your Congressman's offices (phone and email are best) and ask them to vote against the current DSA Title of the Farm Bill, and ask to include the alternative Dairy Freedom Act language. IF the supply management language is eliminated, this clause is eliminated, and all farmers will have access to margin insurance without ties to supply management, thus reducing the chance for abuse of the policy.
Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and Rep. David Scott (D-GA) introduced the Dairy Freedom Act (previously the Goodlatte-Scott amendment) as an alternative to the Dairy Security Act prior to Mark-ups. A heated discussion took place before the amendment was defeated in committee. As more becomes known about the DSA, Goodlatte-Scott gains traction. The Dairy Freedom Act is similar to the DSA, with one major difference: Farmers will have access to government subsidized margin insurance, without being tied to Supply Management (DMSP).
WEDNESDAY, June 5th, LATEST DEVELOPMENT: On Wednesday afternoon, June 5th, the House Judiciary Committee, which Rep. Goodlatte chairs, had a vote on a procedural amendment which was designed to protect Judiciary's jurisdiction and 'raise awareness outside the House Ag Committee that there are problems with the proposed dairy policy.' According to an IDFA source, NMPF could not stir up enough votes to defeat this effort; only 1 Democrat spoke against the amendment at the Judiciary committee meeting. Rep. Goodlatte will bring the amendment to the House floor for debate; 218 votes are needed to pass. No doubt, the debate will continue.

Last week, while milling around the Bills' locker room, I paused to chat with Nick Barnett. The veteran linebacker is one of the more sensible players on the roster. He's equally attentive, too, which he proved when I asked him how he spent Monday after, you know, he was a few hours removed from the loss in Arizona.
"Win," Barnett said, looking up from his stool.
Did I really say loss?
"You said loss," Barnett said.
Pardon my slip, which made for a quick, if not uncomfortable, laugh. I was in Arizona for the Bills' overtime victory over the Cardinals. It wasn't as if the game was forgotten. Am I getting old and showing signs of wear? Or did the Bills' game still feel like a loss three days after they escaped from University of Phoenix Stadium with a 19-16 win?
The encounter with Barnett, a good sport, summed up the first six weeks of the season. The Bills have a 3-3 record and are locked into a division-wide tie for first in the AFC East. Another win today over Tennessee would leave Buffalo tied atop the division with either New England or the New York Jets going into the bye week.
Is it just me or is that difficult to fathom?
In Buffalo, it takes a dozen years to tear down a decrepit sports arena, a generation and counting to get a bridge built and several lifetimes to develop a waterfront. Our economy is a mess, our city schools need an overhaul and let's not waste any time haggling over red tape and local politics.
One thing people in this region do know, at least the 35-over crowd that remembers the Super Bowl years, is the difference between good and bad football. The Bills fail to pass the eye test. If fact, they look more like one of the teams that missed the playoffs for a dozen straight years than a first-place team.
Buffalo is 31st in total defense, last against the run, second-last in points allowed, 21st in total offense, 29th in passing yards per game. Ryan Fitzpatrick is the 21st-rated passer in the league. The two games against New England and San Francisco were pitiful. The win over Arizona easily could have gone the other way.
And yet they're tied atop the division. Amazing.
"There are different ways to look at all kinds of different stats," defensive tackle Kyle Williams said. "The main thing is, I don't care what you're giving up as long as you're winning. The last two out of three, we haven't [won]. It really doesn't matter. Winning cures everything."
The Bills could, and should, win today in Ralph Wilson Stadium and slide into the bye week with a 4-3 record. The Titans actually have been worse than the Bills this season. Tennessee is ranked in the bottom third in almost every meaningful statistic on offense and defense. It's first in punting and punt returns.
Tennessee (2-4) has struggled for most of the season. Its two wins came over Detroit and Pittsburgh, both of which have underperformed based on preseason predictions. Both victories came by a field goal. The Titans have been dreadful in defeat, losing to New England, San Diego, Houston and Minnesota by an average of 24 points.
In a conference in which only two teams have winning records, including the AFC South-leading Texans (5-1), Tennessee is somehow in the hunt for a playoff spot. The Titans are yet another example of how mediocrity or worse is darned near good enough in the NFL.
"A lot of it doesn't make sense," coach Mike Munchak said. "One team beats another team and then loses badly to another team. You try to figure it all out. I think that's the fun part for the fan bases. I'm sure the people of Buffalo say, 'We're 3-3,' and they're in first place. We're 2-4 and a game out of the conversation for maybe a wild card."
Matt Hasselbeck, in his 14th season, will start today for the Titans in place of injured Jake Locker. Hasselbeck is nowhere near his prime, when he was a three-time Pro Bowl selection and led Seattle to the Super Bowl in 2005. Still, he threw for 290 yards and led the Titans on two scoring drives in the final 4:19 last week to beat Pittsburgh.
The Bills' defense, which showed up in Arizona after being MIA in back-to-back games, should have an easier time this week. Hasselbeck has been sacked eight times and thrown four interceptions in limited action. At age 37, he's not expected to run wild into the secondary the way Kevin Kolb did last week.
Buffalo would be wise to stick with that time-tested formula, which calls for running effectively and stopping the run. The Bills are more effective running the ball even though the NFL is a passing league. The Titans' best weapon is running back Chris Johnson, who ran for 153 yards in a 23-17 win over Buffalo last season.
If the Bills become the fifth team this season to hold him to less than 25 yards rushing, they will win the game. Wait, they should win the game.
Of course, it comes with the assumption that Bills coach Chan Gailey will adhere to a responsible game plan rather than a bunch of Mularkey. Last week, Gailey sabotaged an effective running game with ill-advised pass plays, punted when he should have kicked and had a backup wide receiver throwing deep when he should have, well, called any play other than the backup wide receiver throwing deep.
Yes, now I remember.
It explains why, for three days, it seemed like a loss.
