You all have been so helpful I just think you all are the best. I have a few things to ask what is a rad. Also did anyone have the chest pain block.It has been 2 1/2 weeks sense my surgery, and I still have funny little pains at the injection sights along my spine kinda weird feeling.I had my surgery done at the VA and they use Standford students so I was wondering if anyone else had this done or if it was a trial they were doing. it was suppose to stop all pain for at least the first 10 hours but it didn't help the area where they took put one limp-node.....
Feb 18, 2011 - 4:19 pm
This is a great place. I have gotten so much help from here. I did not find it till a month or so after my surgery but everyone is great! A rad is a radiation treatment just an easier way to say it I guess! I did not have the pain block so sorry I cannot help with that. A couple other abbreviations dx-diagnosis tx-treatment. There are more but I am having a chemo brain moment and blanking out. Someone will help with others though :) God Bless
Love your dogs I have a yorkie too!
Feb 20, 2011 - 1:00 am
Hi Elizabeth! I have never had a chest block, so, I can't help either. Rad has already been explained, and, if you have any other questions, just ask!
Love your pic too!

I had a chest block with my double mastectomy back in November and I think it did help with the pain because I could tell as it wore off in a few days. I did have a lot of pain with the double mastectomy so I was glad I had it. It isn't a trial but not all hospitals use it. The facility where I go actually has two hospitals and only one has the ability to do a chest block --I never did figure out why unless it it has to do with the anathesiologist's training. I think it deadens the chest muscles but not up in the underarm area where they took my lymph nodes. I never had any pain at the injection sites so I think you should ask your doctor about that when you see them. Hope you are doing well now that surgery is over, take your time and let your body heal.

Am I reading right - you're a Veteran too? I was Army. Hubby is retired Navy.
So far there is very little of my Cancer care that has actually been done at Ft. Meade, SD - out sourced to the local civilian facilities in Rapid City. So far the only things I've actually had done at VA have been seeing my PA (I've had her for years), Neulasta shots, port flushes, some bloodwork, 1 bone scan, colonoscopy (nasty), the Lymphedmologist, eye Dr. All my Chemos, surgeries (port and mast.), Rads and all scans/tests except one were non-Va facilities.
sorry for rambling - I've had no spine injections so can't give you any input.
Feb 19, 2011 - 11:49 am
Hello and welcome!
I did not have the pain block, so I really don't know about that. I am pretty sure that if it had been a trial of some sort, they would have made you aware of that. And I agree, the pain is something that you should bring up to your doc.
I basically just wanted to welcome you to the board!
Feb 19, 2011 - 12:52 pm
I just wanted to chime in & say that I'm very glad you're finding information and support here with us :)

Bryan Friday scored 17 points and Samford defeated Furman 57-52 on Friday night in the first round of the Southern Conference tournament.
The Bulldogs (15-15), first-year SoCon members, advance to Saturday's quarterfinal against The Citadel while the Paladins (6-24) set their single-season record for losses and were 0-17 away from home.
Furman pulled within 52-50 on a Brandon Sebirumbi free throw with 1:39 left, but Friday made two free throws with 13.5 seconds remaining to clinch the win.
The Bulldogs jumped out to a 20-5 lead and led by as many as 16 in the first half before Furman pulled within 35-24 at halftime.
Samford was 6 of 9 from 3-point range in the first half, but only 1 of 8 in the second.
Andy King and Trey Montgomery added 10 points apiece for the Bulldogs, while Jordan Miller led Furman with 11.

Federal cocaine and weapons case defendant didn't fake his death
John C. Smith is indeed dead.
The federal prosecutor who suggested the convicted drug dealer and former Afro Dogs motorcycle club president might have faked his demise informed the court today that he now believes Smith is deceased.
"Agents have had the opportunity to interview several individuals involved in the alleged heart attack," Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas S. Duszkiewicz told the court.
"So Mr. Smith is dead?" asked U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara.
Duszkiewicz answered yes.
The government's acknowledgement of Smith's death did little to temper the reaction of his former defense lawyer.
"I consider the government's actions to be reckless and irresponsible," Joseph J. Terranova told Arcara.
Terranova said the government's insistence that Smith – the alleged ringleader of a cocaine operation that had ties to City Hall and included members of the Afro Dogs motorcycle club – might still be alive caused immense heartache for his family.
"They would like some closure to this," he said.
Arcara responded by signing an order officially dismissing the federal indictment against Smith, who was awaiting sentencing on a drug and weapons conviction when he passed away in June.
He was president of the local Afro Dogs club and vice president of the national club.
The question of whether Smith was dead or alive arose in August when Duszkiewicz asked Arcara for more time to investigate his death and possibly exhume his body.
He said today that the government's request was based on conflicting reports by medical personnel who treated the heart attack victim.
One of those reports suggested the man who died was not wearing an ankle bracelet as Smith was supposed to be wearing.
"There had been differing reports about his height, weight and his electronic monitoring device," Duszkiewicz said.
Terranova, at the time, described the government's request as frivolous and said he had a death certificate to prove his client had passed away.
Smith eventually admitted his guilt in the Afro Dogs case – he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute cocaine and possession of a firearm – and was awaiting sentencing when he died June 16 at age 54.

What they said: David HearnJuly 21, 2011
PGA TOUR staff
MORE INTERVIEWS: RBC Canadian Open transcript archive
DAVID HEARN: I got off to a real good start on the back nine today. Birdied the first hole, and hit a bunch of fairways and greens getting going. I turned to the front side and started missing the fairways and out here you're going to pay for that.
Overall, though, I shot even. I'm pretty happy with that. I think any day I come in even I'm going to be a happy man. So off to a good start and looking forward to tomorrow afternoon.
Q. You played the U.S. Open before. Is this the kind of the same demanding test??
DAVID HEARN: Yeah, absolutely. All the guys I've talked to, it's as close as you're going to get to a U.S. Open style. The rough is thicker this year than the last time we were here. I remember it was long in 2005, but I think the course is a little bit drier this year. It's definitely pretty hard.
I had some lies that looked pretty good, and I had trouble with them. It's just, it's tricky.
Q. How would you compare, Shaughnessy, David, to Hamilton or Glen Abbey as far as an Open venue??
DAVID HEARN: Yeah, they're all great Open venues. I mean, the Canadian Open, being our National Championship, they do a great job setting it up and making it great for all the players. But this particular golf course is as hard as we're going to get at the Canadian Open.
At Glen Abbey and Hamilton and courses like that, I think they lend themselves to a few more birdies than out here. It's always just fun to play.
Q. You've got four rounds of even par, would you be happy??
DAVID HEARN: I'd take it. Our goal here is to obviously compete to win. But I'm a realist too. I think I'd take par and even.

The federal government also says that in a given month in 2012, the number of households on food stamps was 22,329,713.
The state with the highest average number of participants per month in 2012 was Texas, with an astonishing 4,038,440 folks drawing from the program. The second highest is California, with 3,964,221, and then Florida, at 3,353,064. ...
My mom is a widow who was a housewife most of her life, so she lives off of my dad's social security check. The powers that be (I don't even know who they are to be honest) continually try to get her to sign up for foodstamps in addition to the ss benefit she already receives, although she really doesn't need them. Several other older folks, espescially church members seem to be targeted.
BTW, your friends at Rome (or at least, their Baltimore branch) are all for it, like many counterfeit âProtestantsâ:www.catholiccharities-md.org/services/snap.html

At 'Daily News,' a culture of using 'permalancers' gets shaken up
Editorial staff at the Daily News endured a fair amount of turbulence during the last months of 2011, including a masthead shakeup and a round of layoffs that claimed nearly 20 editorial positions.
Now it seems that another reorganization is at hand, involving the group of photographers and reporters at the paper who are "permalancers," freelancers who work set schedules up to 40 hours a week but are not on payroll and don't get benefits.
Story Continued Below
A handful of freelance reporters—at least four of them, according to sources—have just been offered staff jobs.
The hirings follow weeks of newsroom chatter that the permalancer pool was about to be dissolved, with some of them being brought on to salaried positions and others let go, suggesting that the News is seeking to curb its use of freelance talent, which generates a not insignificant amount of the tabloid's content.
"I think we all sort of felt like this was gonna happen at some point," said one source.
Some of those still awaiting word about their employment status—including some 20 photographers—are a bit on edge.
"Everybody's on their toes," another source said.
A third person familiar with the situation was a bit more optimistic: "I think people that have been regular permalancers are pretty much gonna be hired. I think the people who are not gonna be hired are people who aren't as regularly in the mix."
A Daily News spokeswoman declined to comment, citing a policy of not discussing personnel matters.
Why get rid of freelancers? There's always the spectre of costly litigation and labor complaints when you employ a small army of people who work what amounts to a full-time job without the security that comes with having a full-time job.
But the impetus could also be budgetary, part of an overall freelance-budget reduction. (Or elimination.)
In either case, it would seem to jibe with the currents of change already underway at the tabloid, which begins 2012 with a new content management system, a new integration of its print and digital operations, and a new deputy editor, the "tortured" News veteran Arthur Browne, who is said to be in line to succeed editor-in-chief Kevin Convey if and when he steps down from the top masthead position.
In other News news, some improvements are apparently being made to the paper's website. Executive digital editor Scott Cohen tweeted yesterday about a makeover for the story pages: "Wider edit rail, new social media tools, fewer ads. Feedback pls!"

The nations newest congressman is looking to build closer ties to supporters in his Pinellas County district even as he gears up for what could be a tough battle in November.
Newly elected U.S. Rep. David Jolly, R-Fla., unveiled a Web video on Monday night showcasing his win over former state CFO Alex Sink in last weeks special election to replace the late U.S. Rep. Bill Young, R-Fla., in Congress. Jolly won by a narrow margin, taking 49 percent of the vote while Sink pulled in 47 percent.
Last week, I had the incredible honor of being sworn in to become the newest member of the people's House of Representatives and I wanted to thank you again for giving me the opportunity to serve you in Congress, Jolly emailed supporters before highlighting the video. When I first watched this, I could not believe how far we had come together and what we have accomplished for the people of Pinellas County."
Jolly urged his supporters to hold me accountable as I work each day for you in his new congressional service.
The Democrats clearly intend to hold Jolly as accountable as possible. While, before the election, Sink downplayed talk that she would run again if she lost, she has left the door open to a rematch with Jolly come November in the general election. U.S. Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), told the media on Wednesday that he hoped Sink would run again.
The DCCC continues to signal that it intends to target the new congressman in the fall. When Jolly took his seat in Congress at the end of last week, the DCCC fired away at the new congressman, using some of the attacks that Sink employed during the campaign.
Now the newest face of this Republican Congress is special-interest lobbyist David Jolly, who made a career out of stacking the deck for big corporations and millionaires, said Josh Schwerin, a spokesman for the DCCC. Jolly will fit right in with the Medicare-dismantling, health care-repealing, big oil-subsidizing, insurance company-coddling congressional Republicans who bend over backward for special interests at the expense of middle class families.

Adobe's PDF now an ISO standard
At the end of January 2007, Adobe submitted its Portable Document Format (PDF) to the ISO. Now, as the year winds to a close, Adobe has announced that PDF 1.7 has been approved by the ISO and will become the ISO 32000 standard (DIS). According to a blog post by Adobe PDF architect and senior principal scientist Jim King, the standard was approved by a vote of 13:1, with one country (Russia) abstaining and one country (France) voting against.
Although previous subsets of PDF (specifically PDF/Archive and PDF/Exchange) have been considered by the ISO, the approval of the entire document format as a new standard will impact its development in the future. From this point forward, the ISO, rather than Adobe, is in charge of the PDF specification and any changes that are incorporated into it.

Traditional Knowledge and Patent Law
Let's think about two related facets of patent law. One involves the degree of protection that should be given to "traditional knowledge." For example, suppose that a remote tribe in New Guinea uses an herbal remedy that cures cancer. A drug firm in the U.S. learns about this and gets a patent on the cure. Is that patent valid? Probably yes, because unwritten practices do not count as prior art. Thus, the tribe (or its national government) is not entitled to anything. There are good reasons for this policy. First, there is an important social benefit in making local knowledge more widely available. Second, there would be considerable proof problems created (for the PTO and the courts) if unwritten practices were admissible.
Now consider what happens if a patent owner sues somebody for infringement and the defense is that they've been using the invention in question since before the patent came into effect. That "traditional knowledge" defense will fail. Proof problems can explain this in part, but it does seem unfair to say that practitioners of traditional arts can't get any benefits from a patent and are liable for their continuing use. There is an exception with respect to business method patents, where prior use IS a defense (though one that is rarely invoked successfully). Why shouldn't that be extended to all patents?

Improv Game of the Day: Call to Quarters
1-4 players. Pick a major key and moderate tempo (e.g. MM=72). The only note value allowed is the quarter note. Free choice of pitch (within an agreed-upon scale), and pitches may be repeated.
Tip #1: add rests so that everyone is not playing on every note. Occasionally take this to an extreme so that there are many more rests than notes – but keep the beat!
Tip #2: Listen to the other players for distinctive melody shapes and lengths. Imitate!

Teachers not at fault
I refer to the letter "Teaching in Ontario," in Sunday's Herald-Tribune. As an Ontario resident with no connection to the education system, I feel that the writer's view that teachers have "hijacked" the public purse has no basis in fact. For example, last fall two teachers unions signed contracts with a two-year salary freeze and the same conditions were imposed by the Ontario government on the remainder.
Also, during the past week, the Toronto media have reported that teachers and health care unions have agreed to a freeze on pension contributions for up to five years. Ontario's finances are in poor shape, caused by declining revenues due to the recession and troubling examples of financial mismanagement. However, there is no objective evidence that Ontario's financial woes can be laid at the feet of its teachers.
Finally, we can be sure that Ontario residents prefer that those teaching our children engage in extracurricular activity rather than working at extra jobs in order to make ends meet.

Bargaining at stake
In regard to "Teaching in Ontario" in Sunday's Herald-Tribune: It is unfortunate that a fellow Canadian does not understand the true picture of Ontario teachers. The provincial government is committed to taking away the basic right of collective bargaining. It is a trend in both the United States and Canada.
Ontario taxpayers support high standards and decent salaries.

Revelry under control
I must express my appreciation for the way the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office manages the spring break revelers on Siesta Key Public Beach.
As a resident of Sarasota who frequents the Sunday drum circle, I have witnessed the deputies on horseback dealing with those who become a nuisance (not all do) and intrusive to families who come to see this festive event.
The deputies' professionalism in keeping the peace is impressive and gives local citizens and the many families who visit Sarasota a sense of safety. I, for one, am glad to see their presence.

A school plan of action
The man has a plan and all some people can do is complain that it's too much like another 100-day plan? Are you kidding? The seriously embarrassing plan the school district had prior to superintendent Rick Mills' plan resulted in a $3.4 million deficit and $8 million in overspending. We should be glad he has a plan of action.
So what if it's like another plan. If it works, why reinvent the wheel? Stop wasting your time investigating how much it looks like another plan and start investigating if it's a plan that will help get the district back in the black.

Wrong surgery shocking
Your article about Dr. Philip Tally was most interesting, horrific and necessary ("Surgical gaffe was just the 1st shock," March 17 Herald-Tribune). Too few of these wrong-site surgeries are reported.
Even more astounding was the letter by the former chief of surgery at Sarasota Memorial Hospital. While trying to excuse the error, he tries to minimize it by stating that these things occur every day!
I say, why? Why are these life-threatening errors allowed to occur with such frequency?
The Herald-Tribune article described the various checks and balances included in every procedure, but in this case Tally was not present for them.
On a personal note, I have met Tally. I had an appointment with one of his associates, but was told that Tally would see me instead. He opted not to help me. For this, I am now grateful.

Applaud sequester cuts
Well, the rubber has met the road. We are being punished by the government because we want to live within our means. Now is the time to see whether we have the courage of our convictions.
The Federal Aviation Administration has pulled funding for air traffic controllers from three small airports in our area. These facilities can continue to operate, putting the responsibility on the pilots not to run into each other. This may be less than ideal but it is workable.
All budget cuts ruffle someone's feathers. They may also require some extra work and planning. And every cut is someone's sacred cow. There will be whining.
No one is asking this: Since all sequester does is reduce the amount of increase, why does a service that was funded this year get cut?
This is probably only the first of many pains that will be inflicted. I say, let's call their bluff. Applaud the response to our call for reduced spending. Celebrate the fact that Republicans didn't fold on sequestration.
Bruce Butler
Up for a challenge
Kudos to Billy Cox for a beautifully rendered article and to Thomas Bender for those very expressive photos of my friend, David Abolafia ("Finding humor in his cancer," Monday's Herald-Tribune).
We first met on the tennis courts about 10 years ago and I could tell from his tennis game that David would never give up and would always go the distance to win -- but in a nice way and never hurting the feelings of others.
I wish David the very best for a chemo-free and cancer-free life, and I can't wait to challenge him again on the tennis courts.

The aim of this study was to describe the trajectory and the outcomes of speech-language therapy in Prader-Willi syndrome through a longitudinal study of the case of an 8 year-old boy, along four years of speech-language therapy follow-up. The therapy sessions were filmed and documental analysis of information from the child's records regarding anamnesis, evaluation and speech-language therapy reports and multidisciplinary evaluations were carried out. The child presented typical characteristics of Prader-Willi syndrome, such as obesity, hyperfagia, anxiety, behavioral problems and self aggression episodes. Speech-language pathology evaluation showed orofacial hypotony, sialorrhea, hypernasal voice, cognitive deficits, oral comprehension difficulties, communication using gestures and unintelligible isolated words. Initially, speech-language therapy had the aim to promote the language development emphasizing social interaction through recreational activities. With the evolution of the case, the main focus became the development of conversation and narrative abilities. It were observed improvements in attention, symbolic play, social contact and behavior. Moreover, there was an increase in vocabulary, and evolution in oral comprehension and the development of narrative abilities. Hence, speech-language pathology intervention in the case described was effective in different linguistic levels, regarding phonological, syntactic, lexical and pragmatic abilities

Glock congratulates Marussia after lack of testing
|J. Button
|S. Vettel
|L. Hamilton
18 March 2012 – Although Marussia were last of the remaining runners in Australia on Sunday, Timo Glock has praised his team for its continued efforts across the weekend. With the exception of a Silverstone filming day, its new car had not tested over the winter after failing an FIA crash test and thus causing a significant development delay.
"A great race for the team and a huge reward for all the hard work and pressure over the last few months," the German commented. "It's important to remember that we came here with no real running with the new car. Add the potential for reliability problems – because they always happen with every team in pre-season testing – and it has been quite a special weekend to get the car home in the first race with no issues.
"I chose a good line into Turn 1 and was able to avoid the problems we saw there, moving up to 13th position. I had a bit of a fight with Caterham for a while but I knew I needed to concentrate on my own race. The car was very consistent and in the end, to finish 14th, I have to be happy with that and so do the team, as it is an important start for position in the Constructors' Championship. The car gave me a birthday present, for sure!"
"I am quite happy with my first race and very pleased for the team to have such a good debut for the car," he declared. "Everything was quite positive during the race; I had a few problems in the beginning and then I had to pull in a few laps from the end due to an oil pressure problem - the team wanted to be cautious with the car. It's a shame I wasn't able to take the chequered flag but I am happy to end the race in 15th."

Kid Rock Plans Fall Tour for Local Charities
With more than 23 million albums sold in the US, four Grammy nominations and three Top 40 hits, Kid Rock has been more fortunate than most. But even after more than a decade as one of the most successful recording artists in the world, he hasn't forgotten the importance of reaching out to those in need.
In fact, that's just what he's doing with his fall tour, which has him visiting a series of small theaters across the country and donating the proceeds to local charities and individuals.

"Magna Carta"?
Across dazzling millions of little sun-flecked wavelets Prime Minister Mohammed Mahmoud Pasha last week came sailing home. Smiles softened his arrogant face. Fellow passengers noted with what gusto His Excellency ate. Oranges he seemed especially to relish. Here was a contented traveler who had been to distant London and brought the draft text of a proposed treaty which optimistic phrase-coiners were already calling "The Magna Carta of Egyptian Liberty."
Best minds have often contended that Egypt ought not to have a Magna Carta. For example,...

The Chinese city of Tianjin on Thursday launched the country's fifth emissions trading scheme as the world's biggest-emitting nation took another step towards reining in its impact on the environment. The newest of China's carbon markets caps CO2 emissions from iron and steel producers, chemical facilities, power and heat generators, and oil and gas exploitation. Five initial trades at 26 and 28 yuan ($4.28 and $4.61) for a total of 45,000 permits were announced by the government at Thursday's opening ceremony.

An appellate panel will soon grapple with whether Governor Christie illegally removed New Jersey from a multistate program designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Oral arguments are expected to be heard before a three-judge panel in Trenton on Jan. 8, nearly 20 months after two environmental groups sued Christie. They claim the governor violated state law by not seeking any public comment before pulling New Jersey out of the program in 2011.

Beijing residents were warned to stay indoors for a second day due to "severe" pollution as northern China remained cloaked in smog. Air quality indexes in the cities of Shijiazhuang, Handan, Xingtai and Hengshui in Hebei province, which surrounds Beijing, and Xi'an in Shaanxi province, had reached the maximum of 500 at 11:00 a.m., data from the China National Environment Monitoring Center showed. At this "severe" level, the worst of six on the government's scale, the young, elderly and ill should stay inside, and others should avoid outdoor activities.

When China's skies darken with pollution, it is not the only nation to suffer. Soot, ozone-forming compounds and other pollutants from China can blow east to Korea and Japan. Ultimately, some even reach the west coast of the United States, scientists say. Other nations generate pollution too, of course, so the wafting of bad air from China adds to local problems. China's emissions worry countries in the path of the plumes, but in a region where political tensions often run high, international solutions are largely elusive.

Unhealthy fumes may be emitted inside your own home if you're cooking over an unvented gas stove. Almost two-thirds of California households using gas burners in the winter without venting range hoods are exposed to gases that can cause breathing problems, according to a new study by a team at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.

It is probably a safe bet that very few Americans unwrapping a brand-new iPhone left under their Christmas tree are thinking about its impact on the global climate. I have some good news for them, and some bad. No, Apple hasn't managed to produce the device without adding heat-trapping carbon to the air. The company expects an iPhone 5s to inject 70 kilograms — about 154 pounds — of carbon dioxide equivalent into the atmosphere over its lifetime, 11 pounds less than the iPhone 5 that Apple introduced last year.

California is replacing oil with cleaner-burning fuels in cars and trucks, thanks to a landmark low-carbon fuel rule, according to a recent report. But the rule's fate is uncertain amid legal chaos and a shortfall in the production of clean biofuels. The report, conducted by researchers at the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis, said California drivers saved more than two billion gallons of gasoline in the two years since the launch of the rule—about as much gas as the state uses in two months. The carbon emissions reduction is equal to taking half a million vehicles off the road.

Volkswagen Group of America will easily clear sales of 100,000 diesel vehicles in the U.S. this year, marking a milestone for both the German carmaker and the auto industry. Although diesel engines date back to the dawn of the automotive age, it's a technology that American consumers have never taken to. Credit their memory of an older generation of smelly, smoky and hesitant diesel cars. But by building a generation of fuel-efficient, clean and quiet turbo diesels with lots of zip, and making a diesel an engine option in almost every vehicle VW and its luxury Audi brand sell here, the German company has become a pioneer for the technology.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 27 (UPI) -- As NBC prepared to roll out the premiere episode of the 9th season of "Friends" on Thursday night, Daily Variety reported on building speculation in Hollywood that producers and network programmers would change their minds about this being the show's final season.
Officially, "Friends" is scheduled to leave the prime time schedule in May, and everyone connected with the show has said the scripts for the upcoming season are designed to tie up the story lines that have developed during the show's first eight seasons on the air.
But now that the show has won the Emmy for best comedy series, and staged a ratings comeback, Hollywood observers are growing increasingly skeptical that NBC Entertainment president Jeff Zucker and Warner Bros. TV boss Peter Roth are willing to let "Friends" go.
"It's going to come back," a major network executive told Variety. "When push comes to shove, there's going to be too much money involved for everybody to walk away now."
The executive said NBC would "milk ... the final season for all it's worth," then renew it for a 10th season anyway.
Variety quoted another TV executive as saying the Emmy win improves the chances that the show will go on after this season because it "validates what they're doing."
"The cast all realizes what a great gig this is," said the executive. "They work 3 1/2 days a week, they're working with their best friends, and they're making an ungodly amount of money. As long as the stories are rich and funny, why not come back?"
The Variety report stipulates that there is not "a shred of solid proof" to support the speculation.
Producers announced in February they were putting the show to bed after this season, and Warner Bros. TV has been treating the 2002-03 season as the end of the line for the show. Variety said Zucker and Roth have even refused off the record to discuss a 10th season of "Friends."
At the same time, Zucker's public comments on the subject have been flexible -- including describing this season as "likely" the show's last, and saying he "wouldn't 100 percent put nails in the coffin yet."
Stars of the show have provided mixed signals.
Appearing recently on CNN's "Larry King Live," Matthew Perry said he thinks this is the last season, but "you never say never" in show business.
"You can never tell what the future holds," said Perry. "But we certainly are, the producers and the actors, looking at this season as being -- you know, getting an opportunity to take a whole year to really close out the stories and stuff."
After winning the Emmy Sunday for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series, Jennifer Aniston was asked backstage about the chances for a 10th season. She didn't come right out and say it wouldn't happen, preferring a vaguer, "Who knows?"
Lisa Kudrow came right out and told interviewer Carrie Fisher on the Oxygen cable network last month that she, for one, wants "Friends" to go on.
"You look around and you see that a lot of reasons shows finish is (that) the ratings are really bad," said Kudrow. "We were No. 1 for the first time ever in our 8th season."
According to Variety, money will be the determining factor, with the actors and producers ultimately deciding not to walk away from tens of millions of dollars for one more season. NBC, which pays Warner Bros. TV $6.5 million per episode, would be expected to up the ante for a 10th season, even if it lost money on the deal.
"It's the most critical show to the NBC schedule," a Hollywood pro told Variety. "It's gives them the promotional base to launch everything else."
A source identified only as "a top executive" said "Friends" will definitely be back for 2003-04.
"It's too big not to come back," said the source.

Introducing next-gen PlayStation titles Hohokum, Doki-Doki Universe, and CounterSpy
Sony has rolled out introductions for three upcoming games approved for the PlayStation 4, PS3, and PS Vita. The first two emphasize experimental design, creative expression, and discovery; the last is an action side-scroller set in the Cold War.
Hohokum (pictured) and Doki-Doki Universe will hit all three systems while CounterSpy is only due out for PS3 and Vita.
First, California-based HumaNature Studios founder Greg Johnson — the designer of ToeJam & Earl — unveiled Doki-Doki Universe, which is debuting as a free download that's essentially a trial version of the game, "where players can fly around a universe and take fun personality quizzes." It includes the Doki-Doki Mail messaging app (also free on mobile devices) for cross-platform chat, which animates messages as you type.
The full game is a role-playing game/simulation/interactive story where players control the robot Model QT377665 (Q3 for short), visit planets, and interact with characters in a quest to find more humanity.
Next, co-creator/artist Richard Hogg revealed HoHokum, a new project from Sony Santa Monica and London-based studio Honeyslug. Players control a "technicolor, calligraphic, worm-like, kite-like being."
Hogg wrote, "One of the main aims for Hohokum is to create something where the usual pressures of video games – constantly being told to do things, fearing failure, and being challenged to earn progress – were all absent."
Finally, CounterSpy comes from new San Francisco-based developer Dynamighty. It's an action side-scrolling game where players must foil the plans of two opposing Cold War Superpowers. The graphics are reminiscent of the '50s/'60s era of James Bond and classic Mission: Impossible television series, along with the flair of Hollywood movie poster designer and filmmaker Saul Bass.
"Although CounterSpy is primarily a single-player game, we are working on some interesting ways to let you compete with friends that go a little beyond traditional high scores," wrote lead designer David Nottingham. "We are very eager to talk about more about our cross-platform plans in future updates, including how the PS3 and PS Vita versions can work with the extended gameplay you can get from also downloading and playing on a mobile device."

New to the Forums: Looking for Sibset Help!
Hello! I am a little over 16 weeks along with our *unexpected* 3rd baby. We have a boy name chosen already, but we are struggling with a girl name. We have a son, David Killian, and daughter, Caroline Ailis. My husband and I both have very traditional, classic first names and we went with the same for our first 2 kids. We are going to stick with the traditional first name for our 3rd, paired with a Gaelic middle name. So far the only names we can agree on are:
I am not in love with any of them, my first choice is Audrey. DH has vetoed Audrey in favor of the names above. In your opinion, which of the 3 sound best with David and Caroline? Thanks so much for your help! I think any of the 3 would sound nice, but was looking for some outside input.

No kids (yet), not even trying... but, I can't help but dream of beautiful (and ever-changing) names for my future children!
July 8th, 2013 05:46 PM #5
These are all great names! I don't think Nora is quite so "classic" as it is "vintage," so for me, the other two names are a better fit for the sibs' names. Elizabeth is a personal favorite, but Josephine sounds kind of awesome in the sibset. In any case, I really don't think you can go too wrong with any of thesehuman children:
holden timothy | huckleberry jude
non-human children:

I love all 3 of your choices. They all fit in very well with your other children's (beautiful) names. Perhaps keep all 3 on your mind throughout your pregnancy, and see if one grows on you more than the others. Or, you could always wait to meet her, and see which one suits.
Another name you might like is Eleanor...it's a little more classic than Nora, and Nora could always be a nickname.
(Audrey is also lovely...too bad it's been vetoed! But, at least now, you have a top 3 to focus on!).

I like all three. 1. Nora 2. Elizabeth 3. Josephine
Do you call Caroline Caroline or Carrie? Berries are obsessed with nicknames, but I think any of those names can be used in full. I know two Elizabeths who go by Elizabeth.
I also recommend:
Good Luck!

With more than 17 years of expertise, Sprint is the industry leader in push-to-talk, serving the world's largest push-to-talk community with millions of Nextel Direct Connect subscribers on the fastest national push-to-talk network. Nextel Direct Connect® has set the industry standard for push-to-talk worldwide. More U.S. workers communicate in less than a second with Nextel Direct Connect than with any other push-to-talk service.
"Motorola remains focused on delivering differentiated Android experiences within our product portfolio," said Mark Shockley, senior vice president, Motorola Mobile Devices. "With the Motorola i1, we're excited to offer iDEN users the opportunity to enjoy a feature-rich smartphone with push-to-talk, whether it's for work or play."
"As the first Nextel Direct Connect Android smartphone, Motorola i1 with Wi-Fi offers a powerful tool for our customers with access to thousands of applications in the Android Market™," said Fared Adib, vice president – Product Development, Sprint. "With rugged durability, a full touchscreen and 5.0 megapixel camera, Motorola i1 gives push-to-talk customers a compelling smartphone that can withstand some of the harshest environments."
Motorola i1 enhances the push-to-talk experience with the ability to view who is calling regardless of what application you are in, whether you are managing your emails, checking your calendar, composing messages or viewing media.
Must-have Features and Nextel Direct Connect
With solid body construction that meets military specifications for protection against dust, shock, vibration and blowing rain1, Motorola i1 is designed for those who work and play hard. It automatically syncs and integrates office and personal information such as emails, calendar appointments and contacts. Key features include:
Popular business tools such as Microsoft Document Viewer and corporate sync ensure Word or PowerPoint files can be accessed on the go.
Message entry is a breeze with both Android standard virtual keyboard and Swype™ virtual keyboards being offered.
A 5 megapixel camera with flash, geo-tagging and panoramic capabilities provides crisp photos and clearly displays them on the vibrant 3.1-inch HVGA screen. Video can also be recorded and stored on a provided microSD for sharing or future viewing straight from the device.
The latest Opera Mini 5 browser enables quick browsing over the Nextel National Network and Wi-Fi. The Android browser allows you to see web pages and Flash 8-enabled sites in full view using Wi-Fi.
Motorola i1 can be continuously customized with thousands of applications from Android Market™.
Application development information for Motorola i1 is available on the Sprint Application Developer web site at www.sprint.com/developer. Sprint offers developers a free sandbox with iDEN capabilities to test their apps. Sprint is a charter member of the Open Handset Alliance™ and the Sprint Application Developer Program has been providing tools for third-party developers since Sprint first launched the Wireless Web on its phones in 2001.
In addition, Motorola provides developers with broad market reach through MOTODEV, the company's global program for developers and independent software vendors (ISV). MOTODEV offers a streamlined path into multiple distribution channels including Android Market™ and operator channels.

New Relationship with Mike Rowe
In addition to introducing Android into push-to-talk devices, Motorola is also bringing a new face to its iDEN portfolio: Mike Rowe. Mike has worked as an apprentice at more than 250 of the toughest jobs in America, and his experience and reputation as a hard worker are a perfect fit for Motorola's iDEN portfolio. The new relationship announced today will feature Mike as a spokesperson for Motorola's rugged push-to-talk devices.
"Typically, the work I've done tends to take its toll on my phones and I end up breaking 'em on the job," said Mike. "It'll be fun to use one that's not afraid of a little dirt."
Motorola is also supporting mikeroweWORKS, a public relations campaign for skilled labor that Mike launched on Labor Day of 2008.
"It's really gratifying to see some big companies getting behind the notion that working hard is just as important as working smart," said Mike. "I'm happy to talk about a phone that can do both."

Ikea to power Irish shops with wind
Flatpack giant Ikea is buying a wind farm to power its mammoth stores in Belfast and Dublin.
The Swedish retailer said four large turbines in Carrickeeny, in north west Leitrim, will go into operation next year.
They will generate 25GWh of electricity - the same as would be needed to power 5,500 houses a year.
Joanna Yarrow, of Ikea, said the move would help cut costs, as well as reduce its carbon footprint.
"Companies, individuals or governments - we all have responsibility to address the resource dilemma and commit to a more sustainable future," she said.
"Producing our own affordable, renewable electricity gets us one step closer to becoming completely energy-independent by 2020, while ensuring our commercial success."
Last year, Ikea unveiled its plan to be 100% clean energy-fuelled by 2020.
The sustainability project will see it pump 1.5 billion euros (£1.3 billion) into wind and solar energy sources.
Ikea has two outlets on the island of Ireland: near Belfast's George Best City Airport and in Dublin's Ballymun.
The wind farms in Leitrim will power the stores for the next two decades, the company said.
