Wexford Plantation Reopens after Remodel by "The King"
Hilton Head Island, S.C., mayor Drew Laughlin proclaimed October 20, 2011, "Arnold Palmer Day" in conjunction with Palmer's return to the island for the grand reopening of the Wexford Plantation golf course.
"Our town and community are committed to excellence in all that we do," said Mayor Laughlin, "and nothing exemplifies this better than Arnold Palmer and Wexford's new golf course."
Thursday morning, Palmer landed on the island aboard his Cessna Citation, accompanied by members of his design team, and following a tour of the new Wexford golf course that now bears his name, struck a ceremonial tee shot and entertained during a lunch and media event.
Palmer first made his mark on Hilton Head in 1969, when he captured the PGA Tour's inaugural Heritage Classic on then brand-new Harbour Town Golf Links. His victory lent invaluable credibility to a tournament, a golf course and an entire island.
Now, Arnold Palmer Design Company (APDC) has added to his legacy on the island again by remodeling the golf course at Wexford Plantation, a 525-acre golf, yachting and tennis community in Hilton Head's south end.
The 18-hole Wexford course was originally designed by Willard C. Byrd and opened in 1983. Wexford celebrated its first 25 years in the spring of 2008 and recently spent $3.9 million renovating its Coastal-style clubhouse that faces Broad Creek's marshlands and Wexford's private marina, which is isolated by one of only three lock systems on the East Coast.
The club shut down its course for a renovation in April and has now reopened as an Arnold Palmer Signature Course. The new design winds through stately Southern residences within the plantation and winds through oaks and pines, involving ponds next to the marshland.
Following APDC's renovation, each hole at Wexford presents a new look, challenge, and strategy. The firm also renovated the driving range and practice area, adding tee space and target greens while improving visibility.
Considering Wexford's diverse membership - working professionals, 100-plus children, active boaters, tennis players, croquet players, golfers and retirees, the club wanted a course that three generations of members can play and have fun.
"Our intent was to create a new design in the spirit and tradition of America's classic golf courses and bring a modern interpretation or twist to their enduring standard and a few select template holes such as The Road Hole, Redan, Alps or Biarritz," said APDC senior architect Brandon Johnson, lead designer on the Wexford project.
Added APDC senior architect Thad Layton: "Wexford is by no means a replica course, we take inspiration from certain places and our inspiration for the Wexford Plantation remodel is founded in traditional and classic golf course architecture."
Wexford's renovation encompassed repositioning and reorienting tee complexes, significant bunker removal, and increasing sun exposure by widening fairway corridors. APDC also added more character to the greens and surrounding complexes with roll-offs, roll-ons and strong visuals.
"We wanted to give the golfer several options of play off the tee and around the greens to cause him or her to think about their upcoming shot," Johnson added. "By significantly reducing the amount of bunker space, repositioning them in more visible and strategic locations and widening the fairways we were able to add a previously missing strategic element to the golf course while allowing more room and avenues of play for the higher handicap player."
While Wexford will stand as the only Arnold Palmer Signature Course on Hilton Head, this is not Palmer's first design in the Lowcountry. APDC also designed Crescent Pointe in Bluffton, S.C., along with Old Tabby Links on nearby Spring Island.
"We are delighted to be back in the Lowcountry to create a special and unique golf experience for the membership at Wexford," said Palmer. "We hope the strategy, options and variety of play challenge your intellect and allow you to find the best ways to navigate the course based on your personal game. Wexford is a special place to us and we enjoyed the responsibility of remaking this exceptional club."

Strong second half lifts Church Point over Wolves, 26-14
By Lisa Soileaux
LSN Sports
What a difference an half makes.
For Rayne High, the first half of Thursday's football game saw the undefeated No. 6-ranked Wolves march down for two unanswered touchdowns.
For Church Point, after some adjusting in the second half, touched the endzone four times and handed Rayne their first loss of the season during an all important district contest.
"I'm really proud of our guys for never giving up," stated Church Point's John Craig Arceneaux on Thursday's win.
"We came out at first and were just off key and missing a few things. But, they never gave up, made some adjustments after the half, and really got focused on the task at hand."
In addition to Church Point's four second half touchdowns, the Bears defense held the Wolves to under 300 offensive yards on the night, a complete change to their season thus far.
Rayne High's Coach Curt Ware attributes the loss to multiple mistakes throughout the ballgame.
"No matter what your record is and how good you'ver been playing all season, you can't make the mistakes we made tonight and win," Ware stated.
With a scoreless first quarter, Rayne High's Jalen Williams, Trent Duhon and Javon Cormier combined for a 58-yard drive for the first score of the ballgame. Williams punched it on from one yard out and Ty Delahoussaye split the uprights for the extra point and a 7-0 Rayne lead.
On Rayne's very next drive, Wolf quarterback Clarence Leger found Dannie Harmon from 39 yards out for Rayne's second and final score of the contest. With another Delahoussaye extra point, the Wolves held a 14-0 lead with six minutes to play in the first half, plenty of time for the Bears to recover -- and that they did.
Following an inspiring interception by Wolf Grant Menard near midfield that opened the door for the Rayne High offense, the momentum of the ballgame seemed to change near the end of the first half in favor of the Bears.
Church Point recovered a Rayne fumble in the red zone, setting up a short 19-yard drive ending on a one-yard touchdown run by Brett Richard. Chance Roy booted the extra point, cutting the Rayne lead to 14-7.
A long third quarter saw possession go back and forth as the Bears gained more confidence. On one of those runs late in the quarter, James Bellard ran the majority of his 107 yards of the night with an 84-yard touchdown run. A two-point conversion was attempted and failed as the Wolves held a slight 14-13 lead going into the final quarter of action.
The Bears attained possession on their side of the ballfield on a muffled punt with Church Point eying the endzone once again. Following a quarterback sack by Wolf Andrew Broussard, a short, 39-yard drive netted the Bears their go-ahead score on the heels of a Brett Richard five-yard touchdown run. A failed conversion kept the score at 19-14 for Church Point.
Despite a quarterback sack by Wolf defender Dexter Charles, the Bears scored once again late in the ballgame as Deion Monroe followed his linemen in a lane that resulted in an 88-yard touchdown run. A Kian Richard extra point put the score at 26-14 for the Bears.
Leger found Tyler LeJeune for a 37-yard completion setting up a possible Rayne scoring drive. But, the Church Point defense held tough for the win.
"Actually, they didn't do anything different than we've seen all year, it just seemed they cranked it up and showed intensity, showed more effort," noted Ware on the hard loss. "Once you start hanging your head, it's a long way back."
Adding his lone touchdown on the night, Jalen Williams turned in 132 rushing yards on 20 carries for the Wolves. Trent Duhon (14-40) and Javon Cormier (6-10) helped ut on that end.
Leger was 2-for-8 in the air for Rayne totaling 76 yards and a touchdown.
Dannie Harmon was on the receiving end of the touchdown pass from 39 yards downfield. Tyler LeJeune added a 37-yard completion on the Wolves' passing game for the night.
The Bears were led on offense by James Bellard (9-107) and Deion Monroe (3-94), each touching the endzone once. Brett Richard, with only eight rushing yards, scored two Church Point touchdowns on the night.
The Rayne defense was led by Billy Marcantel with eight tackles and four assists, followed by Cody Manuel, Andrew broussard, Bryan Minix, TYler LeJeune, Grant Menard, Brice Meche and Quinn Guidry.
"This is a long-time rivalry game that everyone looks forward to," concluded Ware on Thursday's loss. "But, this year it meant more because of some many teams still grabbing for the district title."
"We'll have to brush this off, learn from it, and get to Eunice next week," Ware concluded. "You never know, stranger things have happened."
The Wolves will host Eunice next Friday. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. at Wolf Stadium.
The Wolves stand at 2-1 in district with an overall 7-1 record, while Church Point climbed to 3-0 in district and 6-2 overall.
Unbeaten Eunice was hosting Port Barre Friday trying to stay atop the 5-3A district standings.

Research Overview
Topics: Protein and nucleic acid structure and dynamics; molecular recognition; gene regulation; enzyme catalysis; NMR spectroscopy; molecular biophysics; thermodynamics; kinetics.
Approach: Understanding how the structure and mobility of biological molecules influence their function is one of the most exciting and rewarding research objectives in biochemistry, and is the main focus of my laboratory's efforts. Biological processes are coordinated via complex molecular interactions involving proteins, nucleicacids (DNA, RNA) and small molecules. These molecules are not rigid, but rather undergo dynamic conformational changes to achieve their functions. High-resolution NMR spectroscopy is ideally suited to our principle objective of understanding these motions, as it is the only method that allows us to study both the structural and dynamic properties of macromolecules at atomic resolution. Our group enjoys access to excellent NMR facilities, which include fields up to 800 MHz, equipped with cryogenically cooled triple-resonance probes. While NMR spectroscopy is one major research tool in the laboratory, our projects are fundamentally multidisciplinary and collaborative, merging components of molecular biology, protein engineering and biochemistry, NMR spectroscopy and computation. As a result, members of the laboratory have the opportunity, and are encouraged, to become competent in diverse creative approaches for solving biochemical problems. Group members obtain rigorous training in basic research by studying the fundamental principles that govern biomolecular function, and emerge with scientific skills to pursue careers in either academics or private industry.
Mechanisms of Gene Regulation. Cells react to physiological stimuli via a cascade of biomolecular interactions involving cell-surface receptors, biological sensors, kinases, phosphatases and signaling molecules that relay information from the surface to the interior of the cell where internal conditions determine the appropriate response. Responses can include inflammation (lysis), proliferation (growth and division), quiescence (resting) or apoptosis (suicide). These responses are often carried put the transcription or degradation of specific proteins. Malfunction of signaling processes can have dire consequences: cancer, muscular dystrophy and autoimmune diabetes are well-recognized disorders that result from improper cellular response. Our work seeks to reveal how regulatory macromolecules recognize the appropriate signal and pass it on down the next step in the cascade.
Enzyme structure and dynamics. Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions by binding the appropriate substrates in a conformation that lowers the energetic activation barrier, and then releases the products, at the appropriate rate. While the structures of many different enzymes are known, little is generally known about the molecular motions that enable enzymes to carry out their function. This lack of understanding severely limits our ability to design drugs to specifically inhibit the enzymes, or to design new enzymes to carry out novel chemistries. We seek to understand of the mode of action of select enzymes by characterizing their solution behavior (structure and dynamics) and to examine the effects of inhibitor and substrate binding.

UNIONDALE, N.Y.—During their 20-year streak of consecutive playoff appearances, the Detroit Red Wings have gone from contenders to Stanley Cup champions on four occasions. The common thread in the playoff streak has been Nicklas Lidstrom, the future Hall of Fame defenseman who arrived in Motown in the second year of the run. The common thread in the championship runs has been elite goaltending, as top netminders such as Chris Osgood and Mike Vernon raised their games to raise the Cup, and Dominik Hasek had the crowning moment of his legendary career in 2002.
Jimmy Howard has won 37 games each of the past two seasons, but it is only now that the 27-year-old goalie is starting to seriously look like the kind of performer who could lead the Red Wings to a fifth championship since 1997.
Howard's goals against average this season is 2.05, down from 2.79 last season, while his save percentage is up from .908 to .924. Instead of benefitting from tremendous offensive support—not that the Red Wings have stopped scoring—Howard now is one of the main reasons for Detroit's success. It is why, on Thursday, the league leader with 24 wins should be named an All-Star after not being included on the NHL's ballot at the start of the season.
"It would be a great honor," Howard told Sporting News on Tuesday. "It would be great to represent this organization and the league to go to Ottawa and play. With it being only 40 minutes from my hometown in upstate New York, it would be a lot of fun to have lots of friends and family there."
If there is a reason for Howard's jump in form this season, family may be it. He became a father two months ago, and the newfound separation between life on and off the ice has helped Howard to sharpen his focus when he straps on the pads.
"After a game, instead of stewing over it and going over it in my mind, I'm home taking care of the little guy—feeding him the bottle, changing diapers," Howard said. "My mind's not on hockey as all the time as it was in the past. It's good because I used to be one of those guys that would be constantly thinking and thinking, and eventually your mind gets in the way. It's a good release to be able to go home and not even think about hockey."
If there is a line between young player and veteran in the NHL, that may be it—not parenthood, specifically, but the ability to keep perspective and not become overwhelmed by the stresses that come with playing in the league. The Red Wings long have been a team that has relied on experienced players, and Howard's next win will be his 100th, a milestone indicative of his progression into that category.
"I thought Jimmy had a good year last year, and obviously, he's playing really well again this year," said Darren Helm, who has been with the Red Wings since 2008 and was teammates with Howard for Grand Rapids in the AHL. "He's got some more experience—playoff experience, regular season experience—he's maturing as a person and as a goalie, and we feel really confident with him in net right now."
Howard was not in net for the Red Wings on Tuesday night, as backup Ty Conklin got a surprise second straight start after his 29-save overtime win in Chicago on Sunday. For a less secure goaltender, that might cause some concerns about job security, but not now that Howard has established himself and risen to a place of prominence in the league.
"It's good for Ty and good for our team," Howard said before Detroit's 5-1 loss to the Islanders. "He played unbelievable the other night in Chicago and he's feeling great about himself. It gives me a chance to go out there and practice, and it's a good thing. It's been crazy for it seems like the last month and a half, so we take advantage of it. I get some rest and clear my mind and get ready for Thursday."
Clearing of the mind is something that Howard already has done, and it is the difference for him as he tries to become the next goaltender to be the difference between a contending Red Wings team and a championship one.
"When you get to a certain level of proficiency in this league, you're more relaxed," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. "You spend so much less time and energy worrying about things, you've got more energy to play. That's what good players do. They go home and enjoy their family, and come back to the rink. Players that are worried about their job, they go home and worry about hockey. How do you get to that point? You work hard and create a level of confidence for yourself by having success, and then you bring it back to the rink each and every day. He's been excellent."

Terminator: Salvation - Trophy Guide and Road Map
+ Estimated trophy difficulty: 2.6/10
+ Offline: 12 (1, 11)
+ Online: 0
+ Approximate time: 4-8 hours
+ Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1
+ Missable trophies: None
+ Glitched trophies: None
+ Cheats: None
This game is pretty easy and wont take you very long. You can get the platinum and all 11 other trophies in an afternoon. There is an option to play through the game in offline co-op, but its not necessary. The game is easy enough as it is. Youll only need one play through. Hard mode is available from the beginning, and the trophy for beating the game on Medium will unlock if beat it on Hard. Turning down the sensitivity of the Right stick to about 30-40% helps with aiming, especially in the vehicle sequences. Since nine of the trophies are awarded for completing chapters, all of the trophies are basically impossible to miss. If for some reason you miss one, there is a chapter select in the main menu.
Here are some things to remember for this game. Use cover in every fight. If youre out in the open for too long, you wont last for very long. If you can move around to different cover spots, do so. The machines will lose track of you making them easier to take out. If you can, try and flank them. Some of the enemy Terminators can only be taken out when youre behind them. If youre playing by yourself, your allies wont help you much (if at all), so be prepared to take down all of them yourself. Pay attention to the movements of the machines that youre fighting. They move in pretty predictable patterns.
There isnt a whole lot of variety to the enemies that youll face. The flying enemies are Wasps. One shotgun blast will take them out. On the ground, youll face T-7s (spiders) and T-600s (the Terminator that everyone will recognize). The T-7s you have to get around behind to destroy them. The T-600s well good luck. Theyre tough. Theyll take grenades, pipe bombs, or rockets to destroy. Apparently, their weakest point is in the chest, but they could have fooled me. If all you have is an assault rifle, find some other weapon. You wont do nearly enough damage to take them out. Youll also encounter some motorcycle-like Terminators in one vehicle sequence, but you have a rocket launcher, so theyre not much to worry about.
Since this isn't the typical game with a lot of trophies to explain, I'll give some tips on how to make it through each chapter. A few of the levels have frustrating parts to them. Just remember to stay in cover, move through the cover points, and flank when you can.
Collect all other Trophies
Complete Chapter 1 L.A. 2016 on any difficulty.
Theres nothing too difficult about this chapter. Make sure that you dont expose yourself too much when youre firing rockets at the HK. The Wasps will do some heavy damage to you if youre in the open for too long. Youll get this trophy a few minutes after you start playing the game.
Thank Heaven
Complete Chapter 2 Thank Heaven on any difficulty
This chapter sort of begins with a chase sequence through LA. Fire in bursts to take out the Wasps being careful not to overheat your gun. When you get into the tunnel, take out the van first, then worry about the Wasps.
New Acquaintances
Complete Chapter 3 New Acquaintances on any difficulty.
The end of this level could cause you some problems. Its really not that bad once you figure out where the best cover spot is. When you face the first T-600, run up the stairs and let someone go before you so you dont get hit. There will be an L-shaped cover spot on this floor that is directly across from the stairs. A guy behind you will be making pipe bombs that you can throw at the three T-600s. Take them out with a combination of one or two pipe bombs and some gunfire at their chest. Destroy the one that is across from you first. Then finish off the two that everyone else is shooting at. Youll go into another room that has a few more. Run to the back of the room, get some more pipe bombs, and take them out as they come.
The Sights
Complete Chapter 4 The Sights on any difficulty.
Your objective is to make it onto the roof of a nearby building. The most difficult part youll face is when youre up against two T-600s. Stay by the steps up and take out the first one. When the second one is near you, run over and take cover behind the curved wall. Pop up and shoot at it when the Terminator is shooting at your allies. Just remember to use cover effectively, aim for the upper chest, and use your grenades and pipe bombs when it gets in close.
Complete Chapter 5 Underground on any difficulty.
Youll have a couple of vehicle sequences again this level, but theyre not very difficult. One of them you get a rocket launcher for, so its not very hard. The toughest part is when you have to keep the machines busy while Barnes checks the explosive trap he set. There are a couple of checkpoints in between waves of Terminators. Just keep moving from one side to the other. Use the rocket launcher and the grenade launcher for quick kills. By the way, if you quit after one of the checkpoints and reload, all of the weapons will respawn and youll be at max ammo again.
Into the Wild
Complete Chapter 6 Into the Wild on any difficulty.
Theres nothing difficult here and it's a pretty short level. Keep using cover. Use your grenades wisely. Use the grenade launcher on the T-600s.
Complete Chapter 7 Angie on any difficulty.
There are a couple of spots where youll have to survive waves of T-7s and T-600s with a few Wasps thrown in too. Use the same strategy that youve used the entire game, and youll be fine. This chapter ends with another vehicle section, but this time youre in control of a giant Terminator.
Every Life is Sacred
Complete Chapter 8 Every Life is Sacred on any difficulty.
Theres not too much to this level. Just survive more waves of T-7s and T-600s. This level is pretty short and as long as you keep using cover, youll have no problems.
For the Resistance
Complete Chapter 9 For the Resistance on any difficulty.
The first room can be tough. You have two T-7s and two T-600s followed by a wave of three T-600s. Amazingly, thats the easy part. The hard part about it is dealing with the games crappy frame rate and significant slowdown during this part. After this room, youll have another room to fight a few Wasps, and then youll get to the control room. After that, you have a fight with six or seven T-600s. Use your rocket launcher and grenade launcher and youll make it through no problem. After that, the rest is cake walk.
Seasoned Commander
Complete the game Become a Commander on Medium difficulty.
Self explanatory. This unlocks if you complete the game on Hard.
Veteran Commander
Complete the game Become a Commander on Hard difficulty.
Self explanatory. Completing the game on Hard also gives you the trophy for completing the game on Medium.

Artichoke is one amazing vegetable that can be used in natural breast enhancement remedies. It initially is known to promote rapid digestion and fat burning, and eliminate toxins from the body. By eliminating toxins from our body, it allows the natural mechanism to repair and regrow body cells, and balance the hormones. And that's why Artichoke can work to our favor if we try to succeed in growing our breast size with natural homemade remedies.
The artichoke has a high content of water and nutrients such as sugars (carbohydrates) in the form of fiber and inulin. The fiber has satiating effect and promotes intestinal transit, whereas inulin is a non-digestible sugar contributes to reducing the risk of degenerative diseases such as diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis and cancer.
We recommend that you go through at least a brief detox program before you begin any kind of natural breast enhancement to see maximum results. Why not consider artichoke as one of the key components to your success?
This plant is grown in warm climates in many parts of the world, but originally found in the Mediterranean as a plant used for therapeutic purposes. There are references to its use and consumption as food and health remedy in many traditional villages, even from the Egyptians. Since ancient times there have been many attributions of artichoke's benefits associated mainly on the digestive system.
Health Benefits
- Digestion and debugging: rapid digestion and promotes elimination of fats, helps eliminate toxins from the body
- Liver: collaborates with liver function, is used in related diseases such as cirrhosis, poisoning, hepatitis, etc
- Weight Loss: the artichoke is ideal if you want to lose weight and burn fat, because it is low in calories and high in water. In fact, it is used by the pharmaceutical industry to develop numerous preparations intended to help digest heavy meals that overload the liver and gallbladder.
- Kidneys: artichoke also has diuretic and cleansing properties that are good for the kidneys. It also helps to remove excess liquid
- Diabetics: it contains inulin, a hormone similar to insulin, which helps maintain stable blood glucose levels
- Arthritis and Gout: it helps eliminate fluid and toxins and they mostly uric acid, so it is recommended for people with joint and circulatory diseases
The bitter principles of Artichoke pass into breast milk, so if you are feeding your baby with breastfeeding you probably should not use artichoke extract because the taste of the milk will also be bitter and the artichoke can also affect the baby's digestive system.
It is also not recommended for people who are going through a process or are convalescing from depressive illness.

Wis. Reaches $2.75m Settlement Over Title Loans
MILWAUKEE (AP) _ An auto-title loan company has agreed to pay nearly $3 million and terminate thousands of liens to settle allegations it engaged in false and misleading conduct.
The state Justice and Financial Institutions departments along with the Legal Aid Society of Milwaukee have accused Wisconsin Auto Title Loans of tacking extra costs onto their loans by enrolling them in a motor club. Prosecutors say the company either didn't tell the customers or told them enrollment was a mandatory purchase.
Under the settlement, the company will pay $2.75 million into a restitution fund. The company also will extinguish all finance charges that have accrued on all open accounts and release all existing liens issued between 1999 and 2010.
The company's attorney, Kenneth Nowakowski, declined to comment Monday.

Session 100 - Pulsars & X-ray Binaries.
Oral session, Friday, January 09
The COMPTEL experiment on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, with its large FoV imaging capability, has successfully surveyed the entire sky in the 0.75--30 MeV energy range. Falling within this energy range is the neutron capture line at 2.2 MeV, emission from which might be expected in certain binary accretion models. We have therefore assembled an all-sky map for 2.2 MeV line emision following the successful approach used to image the 1.806 MeV line emission from ^26Al. The resulting map is generally featureless, except for one possible point-like feature near (l,b) = (300.5^\circ, -29.6^\circ), which is significant at the 3.7\sigma level. Within the 3\sigma error box of this source, there are 11 objects catalogued by the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. None of these correspond to any known X-ray binary, cataclysmic variable or active galactic nucleus. The most interesting of the ROSAT sources is RE J0317-853, a source that is also catalogued both by the ROSAT Wide Field Camera and by EUVE. This source is identified as a nearby white dwarf star (only 35 pc away) with some rather unique characteristics. Most notably, RE J0317-853 is one of the hottest known white dwarfs (with a temperature of 50,000 K) and it has one of the strongest white dwarf magnetic fields (340 MG). Although the association of a 2.2 MeV point source with RE J0317-853 is speculative, such an association remains an intriguing possibility. Here we shall review the analysis of the COMPTEL data and the evidence for a point source of 2.2 MeV emission. We then shall discuss the implications of a possible association with the white dwarf object RE J0317-853.

Helping fight cancer can be as easy as filling out a survey every other year, as part of an upcoming cancer prevention study.
Participants are being sought for the American Cancer Society's Cancer Prevention Study-3, named because it is the third of its kind to help researchers better understand the genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors that cause or prevent cancer.
"What if you could prevent even one family from hearing the words, 'You have cancer?' " asked Janet Ulmer, regional health initiatives director for the central region.
Qualifications include people who are between 30 to 65 years old, are willing to make a long-term commitment to the study for the next 20 to 30 years and have never been diagnosed with cancer, excluding basal or squamous cell skin cancer.
To enroll, those who qualify can schedule an in-person appointment online or over the phone. After scheduling an appointment, a comprehensive survey will be given. It will include questions regarding medications, family history of cancer and other behaviors. The survey must be completed before the in-person appointment.
At the in-person appointment, participants will sign an informed consent form, complete a brief survey, provide a waist circumference measurement and a small blood sample.
The appointment should last 20 to 30 minutes, unless the participant cannot fill out the comprehensive survey online, in which case a paper version will be part of the in-person appointment and will add between 30 to 45 minutes.
In-person appointments will be held:
3 to 7 p.m. Aug. 9 and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 10 at the American Cancer Society office, 1948 E. Third St.;
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 11 in the Lycoming Mall Community Room;
9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 11 and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 14 at the American Cancer Society office, 1420 N. Susquehanna Trail, Selinsgrove, across from Lowe's; and
2 to 7 p.m. Aug. 14 at the Evangelical Hospital Community Room, 7095 West Branch Highway, Lewisburg in the Staples Plaza.
"We have varying times and places to accommodate people's schedules," Ulmer said.
Every other year, participants will receive a lengthy survey to return that will take between 30 to 45 minutes to complete.
Questions asked include the typical number of fruits and vegetables eaten daily and how much a person smokes.
"Every two years, a commitment of half an hour is a small, small gift of time to greatly help future generations," Ulmer said.
If a person is diagnosed with cancer throughout the length of the survey, the blood taken during the in-person appointment is taken out of the freezer to look at the DNA for connections to other people who were diagnosed.
The goal is to have 430 people sign up for the survey across Lycoming, Union, Snyder and surrounding counties.
So far, enrollment has not been good, with about 86 people signed up.
"If you're waiting for someone else to do it, don't," she said.
Participants most sought after are men and people of diverse backgrounds.
If enough participants are not found by the end of the in-person assignments, more in-person appointments will be created until the number is reached.
Nationwide, the goal is 300,000 people by the end of December 2013.
"It won't be good without (that many people)," Ulmer said.
It was the first Cancer Prevention Study that showed the first conclusive link between smoking and lung cancer.
The second showed how a diet of fruit and vegetables reduces the risk of colon cancer, as does a daily baby aspirin.
By removing the effects of smoking, sun exposure, poor diet and poor physical activity, almost 60 percent of cancer would be eliminated, Ulmer said.

Participants in the annual Piccolo Spoleto Sand Sculpting Competition came out on top when they showed support for their country.
Fifty-four teams participated in this year's competition on Saturday at Isle of Palms' Front Beach. Among the winners were groups who memorialized the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.
Best in Show went to the Bienkoski family, who were participating in the contest for the first time, for their sculpture, "Raising the Flag over Iwo Jima."
"It was just a way to pay tribute to anybody in any branch who served," Marine veteran Stephen Bienkoski said.
Chris Tindal, who has been volunteer coordinator for the event for 19 years, said it always draws a crowd.
"We have a great turnout every single year," he said. "We had 40 different teams that were pre-registered before yesterday."
In addition to Best of Show, first, second and third place awards were given in six categories: children, young adults, families, adults, most creative and best architectural.
Some of the winners include "Game of Sand," which played off "Game of Thrones" and won for best architecture, and "Bee on Me," a huge face with a bee on it which won in the family category.
To Bienkoski, winning the highest prize of the day was secondary to the experience itself.
"It feels cool to be able to be a family and make a memory like this," Bienkoski said.

DETROIT, MI -- Radio icon Casey Kasem's health will reportedly be the focus of a hearing Friday morning in a Los Angeles court that could determine whether or not it's time for his family to take end of life measures.
CNN reported last week that Kasem, an 82-year-old Detroit native, is in critical condition at a hospital in western Washington and received word June 6 from a hospital spokesperson that he was "alert and appears comfortable at this time."
Kasem has since been caught in the middle of a legal dispute over his care that involves his wife Jean Kasem and his daughter Kerri Kasem, who had initially won temporary conservatorship over his care.
The Los Angeles Times reported Monday that a judge ruled for Casey Kasem, who remains in hospice care, to be fed and hydrated until a court-appointed attorney evaluates his health and presents a report in court on Friday.
A court document obtained by the Los Angeles Times shows that the Kasem family is expected to meet 8:30 a.m Friday in court to discuss the matter.
An excerpt from Superior Court Judge Daniel S. Murphy that explains his ruling Monday and what is expected to be reviewed Friday in court:
Court finds based on medical records that Casey Kasem is in need of a conservatorship. Temporary conservatorship will remain in full force and effect.
Court orders that Casey Kasem is to be fed and hydrated. Casey Kasem is to be provided medication at the discretion of the medical doctors.
Samuel lngham is to fly to Washington and obtain a status on Mr. Casey Kasem's
condition by speaking to the physicians and Casey Kasem.
If he's able to communicate, Mr. lngham shall have discretion to allow Jean Kasem during his visit. Samuel lngham has the authority to provide medical information to Jean Kasem and Kerri Kasem.
Kerri Kasem has spoken out on Twitter about her difficult family situation and told her over 49,000 followers that she believes in the power of prayer and the power of intention.
"Whatever it is you believe in, I ask that you take a moment and pray, or focus on sending love and healing energy to my father," Kasem wrote. "He needs it right now."
The Associated Press reported that Casey Kasem's wife of 34 years, Jean Kasem, appeared Monday in court and said she supported Murphy's ruling and will ask to be restored as her husband's caretaker.
Casey Kasem was the host of the Top 40 countdown radio show "American Top 40" and the voice of Shaggy in the Saturday morning cartoon franchise "Scooby-Doo."
He was born in Detroit and is the son of Lebanese immigrants.
Kasem is a graduate of Detroit's Northwestern High School and Wayne State University.
He was the grand marshall of the 2001 Detroit Thanksgiving Day Parade that celebrated the event's 75th anniversary.
Kasem worked as a DJ for FM 98 WJLB and lived in at least two buildings in what's now known as Detroit's Midtown area.
A book called "Home in Detroit: Where They Lived ... in the Motor City" says Kasem lived in an apartment at 454 Alexandrine, located west of Woodward Avenue, and 3230 Taylor on the city's west side.
The book also mentioned the Kasem lived at 646 Alexandrine, a building that is no longer standing.
Kasem is a honorary advisory board member of the Arab American National Museum located in Dearborn and also featured in its second floor "Making an Impact" exhibit.

I have a feeling you're reading this at work (because that's where I'm writing it). No, don't feel guilty, it's your five minutes and you should enjoy it. "But, wait!" you say in an inpatient huff. "I have more than five minutes, and I need a browser game to kill that time. Help me!" Worry not, discerning reader. The good taste that lead you here will take you to even brighter things.
And these things include Parameters.
While it doesn't look like much, Parameters is basically a free, browser-based clicky RPG that does away with pretty much everything but combat, grinding, and stats, and it's amazing for it. If you're the kind of person that loves RPGs but can't stand the trite cliched hooey, Parameters was basically made specifically for you.
The basic gist is that you click around on boxes gaining money and experience, and then click on yellow boxes to attack monsters. The goal is to conquer all of the yellow boxes and not necessarily to clear the board, so part of the fun is the race against time that the game concocts without you even knowing it. Each action is time stamped, and when you finally finish the last enemy, you can tweet your final time to compare to other players. This really only serves to fuel that junkie compulsion to go back in and top your own score, though, so make sure you have the spare minutes to play a few times over.
Bare-bones as it is, Parameters does cram as much into it's numbers and wire frames as it can, complete with stat boosting "achievement" boxes, shops to purchase equipment and an optional Yiazmant super boss.

Ken Hartley is a construction worker for New Enterprise Stone and Lime Co., helping to build bridges and highways.
For the past week or so, he has been working on a $2.6 million bridge replacement project over the little Juniata River on Old Route 220 in Tipton, just a stone's throw from DelGrosso's Amusement Park.
Even though he's busy been this summer, working on other bridge projects in Claysburg, Osterburg and beyond, he said, "We need to get some funding."

Erik Lindberg, the manager of Hoss's Steak and Sea House along Route 22 in Huntingdon, agrees. While Route 22 is the major road through the county, it's not been expanded to four lanes as it is in other areas as it connects Pittsburgh, Altoona, Huntingdon and Lewistown to Harrisburg and Interstate 78.
The section from Pittsburgh to Duncansville has been vastly improved in recent years, but the old road remains through Hollidaysburg and Huntingdon to Lewistown.
An Altoona native, Lindberg has served on Huntingdon Borough Council and on the board of Huntingdon County Business and Industry Inc., which supports improvements to Route 22.
Lindberg said the funds that used to be available to build a four-lane limited access Route 22 through Blair and Huntingdon counties are no longer available, and he said it will be a struggle to free funds in the future for a major upgrade.
He has visions of connecting the Huntingdon area to Interstate 99 by improving Route 22 to Route 453 at Water Street and on to Tyrone. This would help the county to stay competitive in today's economy, where goods have to be moved quickly to attract businesses and jobs, he said.
Lindberg knows the magnitude of the struggle ahead, though, for a better Route 22.
"Can you justify spending hundreds of millions of dollars when there are only 40,000 people in the county?" he asked.
U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, R-9th District, helped to write the federal Transportation Bill, MAP-21 (Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century), which was recently signed by President Barack Obama. His father, Bud, who represented the same district for a generation, used earmarks to finance Interstate 99 through Bedford, Blair and Centre counties.
Bill Shuster said that obtaining funds for major rebuilding projects that could benefit central Pennsylvania has been made more difficult because the bill permits no more earmarks.
The key under the new system, he said, will be to get the state to support a project, which means any effort for a major upgrade of Route 22 must begin now so it can be included in the state's 12-year transportation improvement update in two years.
A new 12-year program was just released this month.
Shuster, who has been mentioned in various circles as the possible chairman of the powerful House Transportation Committee if the Republicans maintain their control, knows the score at the national level.
The federal government needs money for transportation, just like at the state and local levels, he said.
The challenge is to maintain what we have, to bring deteriorating roads and crumbling bridges back to par.
"If we take the position we can't afford new infrastructure, then it will diminish our economy in the world," he said.
The Hollidaysburg bypass
In the late 1960s and early '70s, PennDOT proposed a new four-lane limited access Route 22 through the Hollidaysburg area.
The road would have been much like the Route 22 that now provides access through Cambria County to the Duncansville area, and much like what finally became Interstate 99.
Route 22 like Route 220 (now I-99) was part of the Appalachian Highway Development Program. Millions of dollars were available for construction of a new road, but it was never built because PennDOT could not come up with a corridor for the new road that was acceptable to the public.
The primary corridor was to be through land that now includes Hollidaysburg Area Senior High School, Longer Elementary School and Hollidaysburg Junior High School.
A citizens group, Save Our Schools, was created, led by former Army Col. William Haller and Blair County businessman Warren Emeigh. Years of controversy and threatened legal action ensued.
By the mid-1970s, plans for a new road in the Hollidaysburg area fizzled and local officials redirected efforts to a new Route 220, or I-99.
It took 35 years to complete I-99 through Bedford, Blair and Centre counties, linking the area to the Pennsylvania Turnpike and I-80. It created a new development corridor and a plan for economic betterment that Pat Miller, deputy director of the Altoona-Blair County Development Corp., said has borne fruit.
Miller said the benefits of the new highway are "obvious."
One of them, he said, is Gardner Denver, which builds equipment for the natural gas drilling industry. Miller said the company, which opened this year in the I-99 Enterprise Campus in Tipton, "made an effort to locate here due to I-99."
In addition, Miller said he does not believe Logan Town Centre would have been constructed, had it not been for the I-99 interchanges at 17th Street and Frankstown Road.
Another benefit, he said, was the development of five business parks along the I-99 Corridor.
"With the completion of I-99 and Route 22 to Pittsburgh and the rest of the state highway system ... we are in pretty good shape," Miller said of the Altoona area.
He said, however, Blair County's development corporation is working with Huntingdon's HCBI on the effort to improve the Route 22 corridor through eastern Blair County and Huntingdon County to the Lewistown bypass.
Amy Sheaffer-Wise, HCBI executive director, said her organization favors major improvements along Route 22, noting that a consultant concluded better access is needed if the county's Riverview Business Park near Mount Union is to be expanded.
She noted how the I-99 corridor through Bedford and Blair counties became a significant factor for economic development there, and she believes Route 22 could do the same thing in Huntingdon County.
"Huntingdon has no access to a four-lane highway," Sheaffer-Wise said.
HCBI secured a $1 million grant through Shuster to perform a study of the corridor, with safety and access improvements the primary focus.
The results are to be released on Sept. 11 and will include recommendations for 13 projects, six in Huntingdon County and seven in Blair County, totaling approximately $20 million.
John C. Ciprich, a senior project manager for PennDOT District 9 in Hollidaysburg, said the projects cover a 40-mile range, from Duncansville in Blair County to the Huntingdon-Mifflin county line.
Among the major projects will be the Route 22-Penn Street intersection in Huntingdon, Ciprich said.
Adding capacity or widening the road to four lanes was not part of the study, Ciprich said.
Lindberg said an improved road could enhance economic development, such as what occurred with the recently opened Lewistown bypass.
He said the bypass and reconstruction of Route 22 through what is known as the Lewistown Narrows chopped 45 minutes off a trip to Harrisburg. In addition, he said, the business park in Lewistown "is booming."
Where we are
In 2010, under former Gov. Ed Rendell, a transportation funding study pointed to the funding crisis in transportation.
The state's General Assembly in 2007 passed Act 44, which was intended to provide more money for highway and bridge replacements. It included tolling I-80.
The federal government rejected the tolling effort, which slashed $472 million in annual income to PennDOT.
"This report identifies more than $3 billion annually in highway and transit needs that cannot be addressed. The gap between needs and revenues will continue to grow as inflation erodes the buying power of transportation dollars and improvements in fuel efficiency reduce the revenues being received," the 2010 report stated.
When Gov. Tom Corbett took office in 2011, he had the Transportation Funding Advisory Commission look at the funding problem.
That group, led by Secretary of Transportation Barry J. Schoch, concluded "the need for additional funding for transportation is more than $3.5 million annually, and grows each year."
In searching for new funds, Corbett said an increase in the 31.5-cent gasoline tax at the pump was off limits.
The commission instead recommended lifting the cap on the wholesale price of oil, known as the Oil Company Franchise Tax, which could provide a $1.3 billion boost annually for transportation, the commission projected.
Increasing vehicle and drivers' fees could also add another $574 million annually, the commission determined.
In all, the commission proposed ways to boost annual construction income by $2.7 billion.
At the federal level, Shuster said there is a proposal to lease federal land for off-shore drilling, with that income going toward transportation.
So far, nothing has occurred at either the state or federal levels.
State Rep. Rick Geist, who has represented Altoona for 32 years, chairs the state House Transportation Committee. He is in the last months in office, having lost the Republican primary election this year.
Geist called the present condition of the state's infrastructure "terrible.
"Right now we are playing Russian roulette with too many bridges," he said.
He said while there is an "unbelievable need" to relieve congestion on many of the state's roads, not one project is being done this year to relieve it.
Geist likes the idea of dropping the per-gallon tax on gas and drawing income instead from an uncapped wholesale price on oil.
He said the new federal transportation act "doesn't help Pennsylvania at all," noting the state's income for construction under the new act will drop from $2.5 billion to $2.1 billion annually.
"This [the transportation shortfall] has got to be an imperative for the governor and General Assembly," Geist said.
PennDOT press secretary Dennis Buterbaugh said the funding problem may be less daunting to fix if the economy was robust and growing, but solutions to the massive funding deficit are not as evident in the present economy.
The General Assembly this year passed a bill to allow Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), a proposal put forth by Geist.
This would involve the state working with private enterprise to repair or build certain sections of highway.
The picture painted by PennDOT and locally by Thomas A. Prestash, the chief executive of PennDOT District 9 in Hollidaysburg, is not a happy one.
The state maintains 40,000 miles of highway, of which PennDOT said 9,277 are in "poor condition."
Pennsylvania is responsible for about 25,000 bridges, said Buterbaugh, with 4,700 of them classified as "structurally deficient."
Prestash has responsibility for the state's roads and bridges in Blair, Cambria, Huntingdon, Somerset, Bedford and Fulton counties, which includes 1,000 miles of road and 2,800 bridges.
A year ago Prestash said the number of deficient bridges stood about about 350. That number now is down to 326, but with the emphasis on bridge rehabilitation, the number of roads in poor condition has jumped from about 500 to 591 miles.
Funding to District 9 for capital projects has decreased 39 percent in the past four years, which means about $58 million annually is available for construction throughout the six counties.
The continuing reduction in funding likely means that the gain in addressing deficient bridges will be lost and that number, Prestash predicted, will rise again.

Chemotherapy is the use of anti-cancer (cytotoxic) drugs to destroy cancer cells. They work by disrupting the growth of cancer cells.
Whether chemotherapy can be used, and the type of drugs used, will depend on where the cancer started in the body (the primary cancer). For example, if you have breast cancer that has spread to the bones, you may have chemotherapy drugs that are used to treat breast cancer cells.
You will have the chemotherapy drugs given by injection into a vein (intravenously), as a drip (infusion) or by mouth (orally). Occasionally, the drugs are given into a vein in your chest through a soft plastic line called a central line, or into a vein in your upper arm through a thin tube called a PICC line.
Chemotherapy is usually given as a session of treatment. After each session you'll usually have a rest period of a few weeks before the next session. This allows your body to recover from the side effects. The chemotherapy session and the rest period make up a cycle of treatment. Your doctor or nurse will explain how many cycles of treatment are planned for you and how you'll be given your chemotherapy.
Many people are frightened by the idea of having chemotherapy because of the side effects that can occur. Chemotherapy can cause side effects, but these will depend on the drugs used. If you have any side effects, these can usually be well controlled with medicines that your doctor can prescribe.
Chemotherapy for secondary bone cancer aims to try to shrink the secondaries, improve symptoms and quality of life, and to extend life, if possible. For some people, the chemotherapy will help to shrink the cancer, leading to a reduction in the symptoms.
However, for others the chemotherapy won't have any effect on the cancer, and they will have the side effects of the treatment with little benefit. Making decisions about treatment in these circumstances is always difficult, and you may need to discuss in detail with your doctor whether you wish to have chemotherapy. If you choose not to have it, you can still be given other treatments to control any symptoms you have.
The side effects of chemotherapy will depend on the drugs used. Some people have very few side effects, while others may experience more. Almost all side effects are short-term and gradually disappear once the treatment stops.
Common side effects may include:
It's important to tell your doctor or chemotherapy nurse about any side effects you get. Medicines can usually be given to help control them, or changes may be made to your treatment to lessen them.
Our section on chemotherapy gives more information about chemotherapy and its possible side effects. We also have information about individual chemotherapy drugs and their side effects.

Sponsor's Role in Alcohol or Drug Recovery - Topic Overview
Your sponsor in a drug or alcohol recovery program helps you stay drug-free or sober. He or she will respect your views and shouldn't force his or her views on you. Your sponsor doesn't have all the answers and doesn't pretend to be right all the time.
Your sponsor is someone who has been in recovery for a long time. You will be able to see how the recovery program has helped him or her and how it can help you.
Your sponsor:
- Helps you stay drug-free and sober. He or she understands your situation and cares about you.
- Helps you when you are thinking about using drugs or drinking again or have had a relapse.
- Shows you what the program has to help you. This can be meetings, brochures, books, and other things. He or she also can help you find more information about drug or alcohol abuse and recovery.
- Encourages you to attend meetings and helps you get to them. He or she will urge you to join in group events and work with other people to help your recovery. Your sponsor will introduce you to other members and help you find common bonds or interests with them.
- Sees that you get more than one idea or view of the program. This can help you keep an open mind about it and see if the program suits you and is working for you. He or she will introduce you to the program's traditions and steps and stress how important they are.
You can find a sponsor by going to a program meeting and asking someone to be your sponsor. Ask someone you feel at ease with and can talk easily with.

Players from Sporting News' 11 other playoff picks explain why their teams can win the Super Bowl — but we'll tell you why they're wrong.
— The PHILADELPHIA EAGLES could win, CB Nnamdi Asomugha says: "Obviously we're talented—it's laid out all over the place, and everyone sees it—and the coaching is great as well. So we could really be special."
But we say they won't: There are still big questions as to whether Michael Vick can make it through a whole year healthy and, if he does, whether he can win the big game. Those are two things we know Aaron Rodgers can do.
More: Sporting News reveals its Super Bowl pick
— The NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS could win, CB Leigh Bodden says: "It definitely will help the direction of the team, having guys that have been here, who know the system ... We did have a lot of experience last year, and then the Jets came out on top. So, (you) just never know."
But we say they won't: As good as they should be again during the regular season, it will be a tough road through the playoffs—and even tougher if they reach the Super Bowl.
— The BALTIMORE RAVENS could win, OLB/DE Terrell Suggs says: "We're always right there on the brink of getting to the Super Bowl. We just have to make two or three more plays. I like the change in our defensive coordinator and that we're back to doing it the old Ravens way like we used to. We're having fun again."
But we say they won't: The one issue is their secondary. When it comes to facing top passing teams in the playoffs, they'll fall just short.
— The ATLANTA FALCONS could win, WR Roddy White says: "If you can set yourself up to have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs and only have to play two games to get to the Super Bowl, that's where you want to be. I think we learned a lot from that playoff loss (to the Packers) last year."
But we say they won't: They keep getting closer with the nucleus they've built, but they're not there yet. In a year or two, a championship should be right in the wheelhouse of Matt Ryan's prime years.
— The PITTSBURGH STEELERS could win, WR Hines Ward says: "Last year nobody gave us a chance to win, and what we went through last year brought us closer together. We got the majority of the same guys and the younger guys got a year under their belt, so, for us, I don't see why not."
But we say they won't: The Steelers are loaded, but the AFC is stacked with other talented teams. Despite how good and consistent Pittsburgh has been in getting to three of past six Super Bowls, it's New England's turn in the rotation.
— The NEW YORK JETS could win, RB LaDainian Tomlinson says: "We don't have LeBron, D-Wade or Chris Bosh, but at the same time we feel like we're right there. We have the type of guys on this team that can make plays across the board. Great coaching staff. Back-to-back years of the AFC championship game. What's next for us? That's winning a championship."
But we say they won't: Mark Sanchez probably needs one more year before he'll be able to make the ultimate breakthrough.
— The INDIANAPOLIS COLTS could win, FS Antoine Bethea says: "The main reason we should be considered a Super Bowl favorite is the veteran leadership we have, starting with our quarterback, Peyton Manning. ... If you look at our team as a whole, we have the total package in every aspect of the game and a lot of continuity on both sides of the ball."
But we say they won't: If they're able to hold off Houston for first place in the AFC South, they won't last long in the playoffs because they aren't even close to dominant on defense.
— The SAN DIEGO CHARGERS could win, QB Philip Rivers says: "We're a year better and a year more mature and a year more experienced. ... We have brought in some new veterans that are going to be big contributors, and the rookies we've only known for (a short time). The personality of this team is still finding itself."
But we say they won't: San Diego tends to win in exciting fashion because of its passing game and overall talent, but that won't take the team further than past the Chiefs in the AFC West.
— The NEW ORLEANS SAINTS could win, FS Malcolm Jenkins says: "Because we will have a top five defense and we have Drew Brees. It's as simple as that. Whenever you play defense and you have an exceptional quarterback, you always have a chance."
But we say they won't: Sure, they can score a lot of points, but can they avoid the major defensive lapses that put them down early at Seattle in last year's playoffs? That will be too much of a challenge against the NFC's best, all of whom have high-flying offenses of their own.
— The TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS could win, RB LeGarrette Blount says: "Josh Freeman — there's just so many amazing things he can do. He's only been in one year before me, but he's emerged as a leader on our team, and we'll just follow him. We're just hoping to build more than 10 wins and the first thing we're thinking right now is to win the division."
But we say they won't: There's a lot of youth here and too many defensive concerns to consider the Bucs capable of a deep postseason run.
— The SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS could win, TE Vernon Davis says: "We've got a lot of talent. As I look around, I'm seeing guys pop up from everywhere — Ted Ginn, Braylon Edwards, (Michael) Crabtree, Frank Gore — there's a ton of guys. It's a nice mix. We even have Aldon Smith on the defensive side. He's a tremendous talent."
But we say they won't: At this point, it's about winning the weak NFC West first.

Posted by healthydoesit on Aug 27, 2016
My zinc levels were low, so I began taking this supplement to help with the situation. I didn't know much about the brand, but they had good reviews and were inexpensive. Less than halfway through the bottle and my levels were already improved, so I will stick with this one. If my review helped you, please check the yes box below.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 pictured with AT&T branding
0. phoneArena 17 Aug 2013, 17:05 posted on
A tweet sent from evleaks on Saturday reveals a Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 wearing the AT&T brand in a dark blue color; until recently, the handset offered the largest screen on a smartphone, but that was before the Sony Xperia Z Ultra and its 6.4 inch screen came to market. We actually had a clue that the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 would be coming to AT&T when the device visited the FCC back in June, with ATT's 4G LTE bands on board...

+1 Smurf... I completely agree with you, that this sites gone down as far as the user community goes. I do however like the fact, that PA is really cracking down though. Some of these users simply need to be banned, I think PA should monitor their posting patterns. If they continually troll, start trouble, insult and slander other users, get rid of them. Troll, Dorothy69, PAPINYC, EclipseGSX need to go. 3 of the 4 are currently limited for doing those things. I guess XperiaFanZone wants to join that crowd.
47. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Dorothy69 is my favorite troll on the site. He/she always has me cracking up with his/her comments. Eclipse took notes from some other users (not naming anyone for obvious reasons) and has became CFO of Troll Inc.
There should be a new report option to report people if they troll. Blocking people is out of the question. I'd have 20+ users blocked.
50. darkkjedii (Posts: 21211; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
He/she lol
72. XperiaFanZone (Posts: 2112; Member since: 21 Sep 2012)
If your concept of "troll" is attacking others or similar, then PapaSmurf needs to be on that list, too.

So why buy this thing when THE NOTE III is going too be announced?
51. N.Reynolds (Posts: 257; Member since: 15 Feb 2011)
My guess would be price and screen size. A phone for customers that want a big screen but don't want to pay $300 for a high end phone when they only need mid specs.
53. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
FYI, the dude known as PapaSmurf is not a troll and has been on this site for almost as long as I have. Darkkjedi? You keep telling us, repeatedly, that you are a tech fan...yeah, mostly of Apple. It is OK, we know you are biased, so just be honest about that. And, be honest about the phones you use as you appear to go out of your way, telling us your story. It is OK that you love your iPhone, but you do not have to constantly say that you also use Android to give the appearance that you are not biased, because you are biased.
56. darkkjedii (Posts: 21211; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Ok thanx for telling me what I am. What I'd be is a fool to sit here, and argue with you about it when I don't even know you. Think what you want, and I'll enjoy my devices. Now bias that.
54. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
Also, FYI to Phonearena. Stop pushing your Verizon ads on us, as the company is dishonest, plays games with its consumers, and rips everyone off. My brother is trying Republic Wireless, unlimited everything 3g, for 19/29 month. They just have the moto defy, but that little phone is a decent phone. Check out their great deal now. It uses Sprint network, and the phone is specifically designed to integrate with WiFi across the nation. I was surprised how well it works. Okay, off my soapbox...lol
74. XperiaFanZone (Posts: 2112; Member since: 21 Sep 2012)

So many things have changed since I started following threads on this site when ipad2 was announced. I miss the days when we're just excited about upcoming tech.
61. darkkjedii (Posts: 21211; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Agreed, now people just insult each other, and hate.
57. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
The only way Id consider this phone is if it has better specs than the international version. If not, I'll wait for the Note III
58. Quezdagreat (Posts: 428; Member since: 05 Apr 2012)
when will they come up with a new design? all they do is stretch out the screen
59. redmd (Posts: 1268; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
Until the next Galaxy S5 comes out. Samsung should try different designs on their next phones like the Wave series.
64. anleoflippy (Posts: 595; Member since: 03 Jan 2013)
The design of the wave series was absolutely stunning. My favourite would be the Wave II and the Wave 728 (which was my previous phone).

What Will Prevent a Missile Attack?
By EDWARD L. ROWNY
WASHINGTON -- Most Americans believe that the United States can protect itself from ballistic missile attacks.
Yet the truth is that we are completely defenseless against limited nuclear attacks from rogue states like North Korea and Iraq and from accidental launches by any country with nuclear weapons.
Though our long-term goal should be a defense against possible full-scale nuclear assaults, what the country needs now is a system to guard against limited attacks. Fortunately, a proposal in the Senate calls for deployment of a missile defense system by 2003 that can protect us in this way and be augmented over time in case more sophisticated ballistic missiles pose a threat.
We cannot afford to gamble that all heads of state will be responsible. During the Cuban missile crisis, Fidel Castro urged nuclear attacks on the United States; Nikita Khrushchev vetoed the idea. Had Saddam Hussein possessed a nuclear weapon with intercontinental range, he may have been tempted to use it during the gulf war.
Iraq as well as North Korea are developing nuclear arms and ballistic missiles that will be able to reach the United States.
Luckily, the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty allows us to deal with limited attacks and accidental launches. Under the treaty, the United States and Russia may deploy 100 antiballistic missiles. Russia has already exercised its option and has 100 modern ABM's deployed around Moscow. But we have done nothing.
A year ago, Congress told the Pentagon to study ways to counter a limited missile threat. Each of the armed services has a proposed system, and each system has particular advantages and disadvantages.
The Navy's plan, which would cost an estimated $4 billion, would deploy a missile defense system on Aegis cruisers. The advantage is that these cruisers already exist.
The problem is that using this kind of missile defense system in a strategic role would violate the ABM treaty.
The Army's proposal is to develop a new antiballistic missile and deploy 20 to 100 of them at Grand Forks, N.D. This system, which would cost $5 billion to $8 billion, would take four to six years to set up. The advantage is that it could be expanded to counter larger nuclear attacks.
The Air Force proposes using Minuteman missiles that are supposed to be retired under Start I. This system could be deployed in half the time and at half the cost of the Army's. The main problem is that the Russians will undoubtedly contend that such a system violates the ABM treaty. But the Air Force can make a compelling case that it does not.
The Air Force system -- the quickest and cheapest option, even if it is only an interim solution -- is the one to pursue. Meanwhile, all three services should continue research and development for a system that can protect us from more severe threats.
It is worth recalling the words of William S. Cohen, the new Secretary of Defense, in August 1995.
"We cannot face our constituents in good conscience and say: 'Sorry we failed to take any measures to protect,' " he said.
Accordingly, Congress should support the bill calling for a missile defense system. And the Clinton Administration must urge the Pentagon to speed up its study, so that it can make a recommendation by the middle of the year.
Moreover, we should immediately begin investing in a limited missile defense system. One percent of the defense budget would finance the Air Force's proposed system and a comprehensive research and development program. That is cheap insurance.
Edward L. Rowny, a former ambassador, was an arms negotiator in the Reagan and Bush Administrations.
