Only a few days ago we learned that the Exynos 5 Octa chip will indeed support LTE bands, and now we hear that South Korean Android fans will soon be able to order their Galaxy S4 smartphone with the eight-core chip inside (model number SHV-E300S) complete with LTE powers.
While Samsung wasn't apparently able to mass-produce enough Exynos 5 Octa SoCs for a more widespread launch and had to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600 quad-core alternative for most of the models that will go on sale in the coming weeks, at least the phone that's launched in its home country will pack the company's next-generation processor.
According to Korean site Naver, the South Korean Galaxy S4 model will launch at the end of April or in early May. Apparently Samsung has just finished testing the handset in the wild and it's now ready to launch the handset in the country – a local Unpacked event may be held to announce the handset locally.
Pricing details are not available at this time, and we have no exact launch dates from local carriers, but it's probably only a matter of weeks until the handset will be made official.
Interestingly, the publication reveals that Samsung has been testing the Galaxy S4 in South Korea for 29 days, carrying the device in square protection cases meant to conceal its design – the handset was officially unveiled only a couple of weeks ago, at a special media event in New York City.
Recent benchmarks have revealed that the Exynos 5 Octa can offer a significant performance bump on top of what the Snapdragon 600 has to offer, but those international buyers that are looking to get the most powerful Galaxy S4 version will have to wait a while until Samsung will launch this model in other markets.
Before getting too excited about this Exynos 5 Octa-based Galaxy S4, we'll remind you that Samsung is yet to confirm launch details (including model version) for South Korea.

EDMONTON - Derek Schiavone has to look up to see Sean Flemings name on the Edmonton Eskimos Wall of Honour at Commonwealth Stadium.
Which is fitting, since the young kicker has been looking up to Fleming as someone to emulate throughout his career.
I was more raised in the NFL game, but I still knew names like Fleming, (Noel) Prefontaine, (Paul) McCallum as guys I looked up to because I wanted to play in the CFL, said Schiavone, who did exactly that, spending the past four years in Edmonton since graduating from Western Ontario.
His first three pro years he spent under the tutelage of Prefontaine, missing playing with Fleming by the narrowest of margins.
Fleming retired in 2007 and Schiavone signed as a free agent with the team in May 2008.
I know him a little bit, hes been around my four years here, Schiavone said. I never had a chance to play while he was still in the league, but he doesnt shy away from being around and every time I see him he always gives us positive reinforcement.
Before Schiavone knew Fleming, he knew of him.
Obviously I knew the name. Hes one of the greatest kickers to play, especially being Canadian, Schiavone said. So hes someone I look up to and hopefully I can have a career like him.
Flemings lasted from 1992-2007, encompassing the Eskimos three most recent Grey Cup championships.
Its a great feeling to know that if you accomplish something great that you are going to get rewarded for it, Schiavone said. Just looking at guys in this community who are still here, who are role models, which is something I sort of want to be at the end of my career.
Its just someone to look up to so if you ever had something to ask, he would be right there to answer it for you.
But Schiavones career path has been one focused primarily on patience, so far.
While he has had his share of opportunities and made the most of them Schiavones role has mainly centered around backing up an older, more experienced kicker on the team.
But Schiavone takes comfort in the fact that a kickers career far outlasts other positions and that his time will come.
Definitely (Fleming) has had a long career. Look at McCallum still going. Hes one of the best in the league, Schiavone said. The thing with kicking, its more of a technical thing, right? As long as you can keep that technique, the strengths not always that important.
FINE BY ME(SSAM): Eskimos RB Jerome Messam was fined an undisclosed amount by the league for his role in last Fridays fourth-quarter altercation with some of his ex-teammates on the B.C. Lions.
Messam was ejected from the game for hitting Tad Kornegay in the helmet during a scrum, while Kornegay and fellow Lions Solomon Elimimian, Korey Banks and Dante Marsh were also fined, along with DL Khalif Mitchell, for leading with his helmet on a hit on Messam.
IN AND OUT: DT Josh Leonard has been added to the practice squad. The six-foot-two, 290-pound University of Hawaii product practised with the NFLs Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Houston Texans.
Josh is a strong and quick interior player. He bench pressed 225 pounds 41 times on his pro day evaluation, said Eskimos general manager Eric Tillman. Josh can bull rush guys, split the double team and for a big man, can redirect and pursue very well. Once he learns the nuances of the CFL game, Josh will give our staff an interesting interior option.

From: "David E. Taylor" <>
Subject: William son of Daniel William Holladay, Sr.
Date: Thu, 2 Apr 1998 13:32:42 -0500
The Lamar County list has been asleep too long. The following ought to
touch a lot of Lamar County families.
My great grandfather Robert Powell Taylor b. 1860 in Marion County, Alabama
married in 1881 Mary E. Holladay b. 1860 daughter of James D. Holladay.
While this is all about the father of James D. Holladay, some background on
the Taylor ancestors is important in understanding the connection between
these two families. Robert Powell Taylor was the son of William Burton
Taylor b. 1817 in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. William Burton Taylor
was married to Caroline and they lived on land they owned that present-day
is just west of the Lamar County, Alabama airport. William Burton died
before 1870, probably in Marion/Sanford/Lamar County, Alabama. In the 1870
census Caroline Taylor is the head of household with the children of
William Burton. William Burton Taylor left North Carolina about 1819-1820
with his parents Joshua b. 1780 and Beatrice b. 1786. Joshua Taylor is in
the 1810 Census of Edgecombe County, North Carolina and the 1820 Franklin
County, Tennessee Census. He is presumed to have died before the 1830
Marion County, Alabama Census as his family is then listed in the household
of his wife Bidy (Beatrice) Taylor.
James D. Holladay was b. 1835 in Marion County, Alabama. He is in the
1880, 1900, and 1910 Lamar County, Alabama Census records living on land he
owned southwest of the Hollis Cemetery about halfway between Sulligent and
the Mississippi line. James D. Holladay is presumed to have died before
JAMES D. HOLLADAY married (1) W. J. Before 1860. He married (2) SARAH E.
About 1890.
Children of JAMES D. HOLLADAY and W. J. are:
i. MARY (Molly) E. HOLLADAY, b. Aug 1860 in Mississippi; d.
Before 1910 in Texas; m. ROBERT POWELL TAYLOR, Jan 12, 1881 in Lamar
County, Alabama.
ii. D. A. HOLLADAY, b. About 1864.
iii. FRANCIS L. HOLLADAY, b. About 1867, Alabama.
iv. WILLIAM M. HOLLADAY, b. Oct 1870 in Mississippi; m. ADA,
Before 1892.
v. POWELL H. HOLLADAY, b. About 1873 in Mississippi.
vi. L. D. HOLLADAY, b. About 1877 in Mississippi.
vii. UNICE HOLLADAY, b. Apr 1879 in Alabama.
Child of JAMES D. HOLLADAY and SARAH E. is:
viii. TALMIDGE HOLLIDAY, b. Jun 1896 in Alabama.
The first appearance in public records of James D. Holladay by name is in
the 1850 Marion County, Alabama Census at age 15 in the household of Kibble
Terry. Also in the Kibble Terry household in 1850 are Green Holladay, age
19, and Columbus Holladay, age 17. The wife of Kibble Terry in 1850 is
Eliza E.
In the 1840 census of the Kibble Terry household the ages of the males and
wife match the ages of Eliza E. and the Holladay brothers, and there are
also 2 females under age 5. From this, the assumption is that Eliza E.
(Terry) first married a Holladay about 1830 and they had three sons born
1831, 1833, and 1835. Sometime around 1837 Eliza E. married Kibble Terry,
as evidenced by the ages of the daughters in 1840. Sarah E. Terry was born
in 1838.
Who is the Holladay husband of Eliza E. and father of Green, Columbus, and
James D. Holladay?
In 1836 Kibble Terry enlisted in the army along with several other men from
the Moscow, Marion County, Alabama area, including Daniel Holliday and
Joseph Holliday, sons of Daniel William Holladay, Sr. They all served in
Capt. Darrell Upright Hollis's Company in the Creek Indian War of 1836.
After this service Kibble Terry married Eliza E., mother of James D.
Daniel William Holladay, Sr., descendant of John Holladay The Ranger and
father of Daniel and Joseph above, also had a son named William b. 1807 in
South Carolina. In the 1830 Marion County, Alabama Census the household of
Daniel Holladay (1st) contains a male aged 20-30. From the information in
Alvis Holladay's book, this man would be either son Daniel Jr. b. 1805 or
William b. 1807. Daniel Jr. himself appears in the 1830 census as Daniel
(2nd) at age 20-30, five lines up from his father.
William Holladay at age 23 living in the household of his father Daniel
William Holladay, Sr. in 1830 appears the best fit to have been the husband
of Eliza E. and father of Green, Columbus, and James D. Holladay.
A very close association can be documented between the families of Robert
Powell Taylor and Mary E. Holladay, my great grandparents. On the same
page of the 1830 Marion County, Alabama Census as the household of Daniel
William Holladay, Sr. and son William, and the household of Daniel (Jr.),
is the household of Bidy Taylor containing William Burton Taylor at age 13,
my GGgrandfather. On the same page is the household of Mathew (Mathias)
Taylor, brother of Joshua Taylor. On the same page is Samuel Weeks who
married Prudence Taylor, sister of William Burton Taylor. In addition,
Mary Susan Taylor, another sister of William Burton Taylor, married James
Taylor, son of Daniel William Holladay, Sr.
The following promissory note is in the Lamar County, Alabama Courthouse:
1886, May 22: Promissory note payable to Tom Strawbridge on Dec 1, 1886 and
granting as security "My entire Crop of Corn and Cotten that I Make this
year and also one yoke of Black oxens Known as the Frank Holladay oxens. .
.". Note is signed James D. Holladay, and recorded in Lamar County,
Alabama May 22, 1886 Deed Book 10 pp 550-551. Witnessed by R. H. Priddy.
R. H. Priddy who witnessed the above note is Ruben Henry Priddy who married
Elizabeth Taylor, sister of Robert Powell Taylor, my great grandfather.
In the past two weeks I have solved the perplexing question of who Frank
Holladay is in this note. Frank Holladay is Benjamin Franklin Holladay b.
1845 son of Joseph b 1790 son of Daniel Holladay, Jr. b. 1752. Joseph
Holladay is the brother of Daniel William Holladay, Sr. Frank Holladay is
the 1st cousin of William, son of Daniel William Holladay, Sr. In 1920
Benjamin Franklin Holladay, age 85, was living in the household of his son
Dixie in Lamar County, Alabama.
Circumstantial evidence is mounting to support the case of William Holladay
as the father of James D. Holladay. Census records always indicate that
the father of James D. Holladay was born in South Carolina. There is a
connection between the other sons of Daniel William Holladay, Sr. and
Kibble Terry when they enlisted in 1836 in the Creek Indian Wars under the
command of D. U. Hollis. Census records indicate that Daniel William
Holladay, Sr., his sons, Kibble Terry, D. U. Hollis, and the Taylor
families lived in close proximity before and after 1836. James D. and his
brothers were born in Alabama and were together in 1840 and 1850 in the
household of Kibble Terry with their mother. The promissory note of James
D. Holladay using the oxen of Frank Holladay as collateral would indicate a
close tie to the other known Lamar County, Alabama Holladays.
Personally, I'd like proof beyond circumstantial. The proof may be out
there, and I'm still looking. Until then, does anybody have evidence that
either further supports or reputes the above case for William Holladay as
the father of James D. Holladay?
Hi, Toni (triple cousin through the above described mess).

Fury in U.S. Over Olmert's Comments on War in Iraq
WASHINGTON - President George W. Bush, speaking after a meeting with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, called yesterday for the world to unite in isolating Iran until it "gives up its nuclear ambitions. In addition, Olmert publicly praised the American operation in Iraq, which he said brought stability to the Middle East.
Politicians from the Democratic Party said they wanted to speak to Olmert about his comments on the Iraq war before responding publicly, but said they were uncomfortable with the comments. If Olmert planned his remarks and intended them to come out as they did, a Democratic official said, then they are not acceptable and can be seen as an attempt to influence the American political dispute.
On Iran, Bush, in White House remarks to reporters, said, "If they continue to move forward with the program, there has to be a consequence. And a good place to start is working together to isolate the country. And my hope is that there are rational people inside the government who recognize isolation is not in their country's interest."
"It's very important for the world to unite to say to the Iranians, 'If you choose to continue to move forward, you will be isolated,'" Bush said. "One source of isolation would be economic."
The U.S. president said if the Iranians want to have a dialogue, "We have shown them a way forward," referring to the American-European demand that Iran halt enrichment. He also said it's important to convince Iran that isolating the country is an international position rather than an Israeli or an American one.
"Iran's nuclear ambitions are not in the world's interest," Bush said. "If Iran had nuclear weapons, it would be terribly destabilizing."
His prescription for dealing with Iran was diplomatic, having the United Nations impose sanctions to force Iran to stop uranium enrichment. Diplomats at the United Nations have been bogged down for weeks trying to agree to a resolution that would place some sanctions on Iran for refusing to halt is enrichment.
Olmert, accusing Iran of "fanaticism and extremism," voiced support for United States-led efforts to impose UN sanctions on Iran and said Tehran must not be allowed to "cross the technological threshold" to develop a nuclear bomb.
Bush and Olmert spoke in the White House for about 45 minutes.
Olmert said Israel and other countries in the area should be thankful to the United States and Bush. He said the Iraq war had a dramatic, positive effect on security and stability in the Mideast, as well as having strategic importance from Israel's perspective and that of moderate Arab states.
Olmert said he was satisfied with the position Bush took on Iran, which went further than in their previous meeting in May. "Iran's role in the conversation was quite clear, very serious and very significant, and I left this meeting with an outstanding feeling," said Olmert.
Tehran's goal is to "ultimately wipe Israel off the map," Olmert said on NBC television's "Today" show. "The whole world has to join forces in order to stop it. This is a problem of every country. I know that President Bush is fully aware of that."
On the Palestinian question, Bush and Olmert reiterated their previously stated positions.
Bush said the two leaders discussed their commitment to the two-state solution and the need for the Palestinian government to adopt the road map and the Quartet principles: recognizing Israel, renouncing terror and abiding by previous agreements. Olmert said he was prepared to have "serious dialogue" with Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, and that he would make every possible effort to help Abbas begin such a dialogue with Israel. Olmert said he hoped there would be a new Palestinian government based on the road map and the principles of the Quartet (the U.S., European Union, UN and Russia).
Olmert later said that the U.S. and Israel have been engaged in "intensive dialogue" over the last few weeks and have been exchanging ideas about advancing the Palestinian channel for talks. He did not go into details, but said there would not be an international conference, which he appears to oppose.
In response to a question about whether the United States had asked him to moderate military activity in Gaza, Olmert said he didn't recall a specific request but that it might have been raised during the meeting. He said Bush expressed pride in the American veto at the UN Security Council regarding a condemnation of the Israeli shelling of the Gaza town of Beit Hanun. The issue of evacuating outposts was not raised during the meeting with Bush or during Olmert's meeting with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Sunday, Olmert said.

Turkey and their coach Guus Hiddink are on a revenge mission when they visit Germany for the showdown between Group A's early leaders, in one of three games being played in the section on Friday. The countries have not met since Germany defeated Turkey 3-2 in an exciting semi-final at UEFA EURO 2008 while Hiddink has his own painful memories of a last-four loss to the Germans when in charge of Korea Republic at the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
Germany v Turkey, Berlin
Both teams have started with two victories and few would disagree with Germany coach Joachim Löw's assertion that Turkey are his side's "toughest opponents" in the pool. Whatever the outcome, Turkey boss Guus Hiddink says there will be a "football festival" at the Olympiastadion given the large Turkish expatriate community in Berlin, in what will be a particularly big occasion for Germany playmaker Mesut Özil. "I am especially motivated," said the 21-year-old, who is of Turkish extraction.
Löw's biggest decision is how to replace the injured Bastian Schweinsteiger, with Toni Kroos most likely to occupy that central midfield berth. Turkey, victorious only once in seven trips to Germany, are missing midfielder Selçuk Şahin who has torn knee ligaments while Arda Turan is struggling with a groin problem he picked up in training on Tuesday.
Kazakhstan v Belgium, Astana
After narrow losses to Germany and Turkey, Belgium will be determined to collect their first points in Astana, where Georges Leekens is without centre-backs Thomas Vermaelen and Vincent Kompany. "It's a pity, as they had taken on leadership roles and brought a good atmosphere to the team," the coach said. Leekens may therefore hand Dedryck Boyata his debut and, with front men Moussa Dembélé and Christian Benteke also unavailable, give forward Yassine El Ghanassy a first senior appearance. Kazakhstan lost their first qualifier 3-0 to Turkey and given coach Bernd Storck's admission that he is "building a team for the future", he would probably settle for the 2-2 comeback draw the Kazakhs achieved when playing Belgium in Almaty in UEFA EURO 2008 qualifying.
Austria v Azerbaijan, Vienna
Berti Vogts takes his Azerbaijan side to face Austria, the country against whom he made his 96th and last international appearance for Germany – scoring an own goal in a 3-2 defeat at the 1978 World Cup. His squad includes just two foreign-based players – defender Rashad F Sadygov and winger Mahir Shukurov – as he seeks a marked improvement on the 6-1 drubbing by Germany in September. After beating Kazakhstan 2-0 in their opening qualifier, Dietmar Constantini's Austria will aim for more of the same. "Not only do we want the three points, but we want to win with a good performance," said the coach, who has brought Marko Arnautović back into the fold from the Under-21s. Yasin Pehlivan has replaced the injured Emanuel Pogatetz.
A preview of the next set of fixtures in Group A on Tuesday – Azerbaijan v Turkey, Kazakhstan v Germany, and Belgium v Austria – will be published at the weekend.

The complex effects of MMD on the brain's sleep-wake cycles and on the respiratory and airway muscles can cause sleepiness that's challenging to diagnose and treat
For a report on current research strategies in myotonic dystrophy, read MMD Research: Seeking to Free Proteins from a 'Toxic Web' from the July-September 2012 Quest.
Thirty-two-year-old Doug Hayes has struggled with some of the cognitive and social features of type 1 myotonic dystrophy (MMD1 or DM1) most of his life. But there's something else that's contributed to his difficulties with jobs and schooling: daytime sleepiness. Doug recently had a job scanning documents, his father says, but his daytime sleepiness interfered.
One doctor prescribed Adderall [an amphetamine-based stimulant], to help Doug stay awake, but he had to stop taking it when his liver started showing signs of damage. Now, Provigil (modafinil, a wakefulness-promoting medication), while not quite as effective, is helping him to some extent. "He pays more attention," his father says.
For Jenefer Hopson, also 32, MMD1 symptoms began during adolescence. Hopson lives in Rochester, N.Y., and she has been able to work, marry and have a child. However, sleepiness has been a problem, especially in her adult life.
"If I worked early in the morning and got out at noon or 1 o'clock, then it was OK," she says. "But if I worked past 1 o'clock, I could run into issues. I would fall asleep at work."
She's now home with her baby and still has trouble staying awake. "It depends what I do during the day," Hopson says. "If I just sit around and don't do anything, I can stay up a little bit longer. But if I'm out running around doing errands, I'll come home three hours later and be ready for a nap."
Not taking that daytime nap — by taking stimulant medications — would cause her to fall into such a deep sleep at night that she feared she wouldn't hear the baby if he needed her.
BillyDean Ison, age 17, began showing signs of excessive daytime sleepiness in his early school years. "He was falling asleep continually," his mother says, "including when he had had plenty of sleep.
In BillyDean's case, the sleepiness may be at least in part due to another MMD1-associated problem — respiratory muscle weakness.
"He retains carbon dioxide," his mother says. "We've worked with BiPAP [bilevel positive airway pressure] at night for a long time, but he hasn't been able to tolerate it."
People with MMD2 can experience daytime sleepiness as well. "I could fall asleep at my desk at work with no problem at all," says Krista Schulz, a 47-year-old Web designer at the University of Connecticut, whose MMD2 was diagnosed when she was in her early 40s.
|Krista Schulz and her father, Arthur Schulz, both have MMD2. Krista, a Web designer, has gotten so sleepy while driving home from work that she's had to pull off the road.
"Even when I'm driving, I get so tired," Schulz says. "I've had to pull over sometimes on the way home from work because I was so tired. I've tried lots of coffee. I've even tried NoDoz [caffeine pills]."
Schulz sleeps well at night, and so far she has not experienced any breathing or heart problems. But the fatigue and sleepiness persist.
Karen Raymond of Frederick, Md., knows what that's like as well. Now a 50-year-old facilities security officer, she started having symptoms in her early 40s that eventually led to a diagnosis of MMD2. Fatigue and sleepiness play a big role in her life.
"I don't know if people can really understand how difficult it is," she says. Starting in her 40s, she says, "I was feeling so overwhelmingly tired that it was difficult to get through the day. It's very hard to explain to somebody just what I mean by that. I could be speaking to somebody and about fall asleep. I would be at my desk at work and sitting at my computer doing something one minute and nodding off the next.
"For a while, my husband and I were carpooling, which was good, because he drove, and I would sleep. Then he retired, which left me driving, so I couldn't sleep in the car on the way home anymore, and that became a problem. I had never been one to feel sleepy while driving, and all of a sudden it was to the point where I was sleepy, and I didn't have that far to drive.
"It was just awful. I would come home from work and say, 'Sorry, I have to lie down and take a nap.' Every day." These days, she's become "quite adept at power napping," although she believes she sleeps well at night.
"Now I just do it all the time," she says of her power naps, which generally last 20 minutes to an hour and a half. "I think, 'Oh, I'd better go and take my nap now, because if I don't, I'm going to be in trouble.' I can just sit down and close my eyes, and I'll be sound asleep. It doesn't matter what I'm doing."
Provigil seemed to help for a time, but it may have exacerbated her migraine headaches. Now, Raymond says, with her migraines under better control, she's going to give Provigil another try.
|Neurologist Emma Ciafaloni, co-director of the MDA Clinic at the University of Rochester Medical Center (N.Y.), has had a long-standing interest in the excessive daytime sleepiness associated with MMD.
The excessive daytime sleepiness seen in MMD1 and to a somewhat lesser extent in MMD2 has been a long-standing interest of neurologist Emma Ciafaloni, co-director of the MDA Clinic at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York.
In 2003, Ciafaloni received a two-year MDA research grant to study excessive sleepiness — hypersomnolence — in MMD.
"I think the problem of hypersomnolence in myotonic dystrophy is extremely intriguing and also unique for any of the neuromuscular disorders," Ciafaloni says. "I think that what triggered my interest was the fact that, sometimes, patients who have a very mild form of myotonic dystrophy in terms of the muscle involvement, can be extremely debilitated functionally by the sleep disorder."
"It's not just one type of sleep disturbance that these patients have," says Ciafaloni. "We can see the whole spectrum in different patients, or even different types in the same patient."
Ciafaloni says the spectrum ranges from classic obstructive sleep apnea, meaning periodic breathing cessation during sleep due to upper airway obstruction; to a type of hypersomnolence that very much resembles narcolepsy, a disorder of the brain that involves excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden attacks of sleep.
"It makes it very challenging to treat," Ciafaloni says, "but I also think that it is a potentially treatable aspect of the disease and therefore it's important to try to figure out exactly which type each patient has."
Ciafaloni's research and experience have led her to believe that the hypersomnolence of MMD can be a combination of:
She believes each person with MMD can have any one of those things or any combination of them.
"Overall, excessive daytime sleepiness is probably present in about 50 percent of the patients," she says. "This has repercussions on their functioning and fatigue and is a difficult part of the disease."
When it comes to treatment of hypersomnolence, a good diagnosis is essential, Ciafaloni says.
"I think it's very important, with myotonic dystrophy being such a multisystem, multi-organ disease, to really have a team approach and be very proactive in addressing all the issues. It's important to really get the help of sleep specialists to try to treat the hypersomnolence. We're fortunate here [at the University of Rochester] because many of our sleep specialists are interested in myotonic dystrophy, but I would encourage patients to proactively seek screening and help if they feel that their sleep is not right or they feel excessively fatigued during the day.
If the diagnosis is a more central (brain-related) hypersomnolence, Ciafaloni generally prescribes the wakefulness-promoting medication Provigil, or the closely related Nuvigil (armodafinil).
"We do try modafinil quite a bit," she says. "It was originally used for narcolepsy, but it's now used for many more indications, even just general fatigue and hypersomnolence. That's something that we use frequently and that the sleep specialists recommend in these patients, as well as older stimulant medications, such as Ritalin or Adderall, or even a combination of these.
"If nighttime sleep is being interrupted by breathing difficulties, daytime sleepiness often results. If the breathing interruptions during the night are caused by collapse of the upper airway tissues and musculature (obstructive sleep apnea), then CPAP — continuous positive airway pressure — is prescribed, Ciafaloni says.
But if nighttime breathing is insufficient mostly because of weakness of the diaphragm muscle, then the preferred treatment is BiPAP (a registered trademark of Philips Respironics), in which air is delivered at one pressure for inhalation and another for exhalation. Sleep-disordered breathing of mixed origin is tricky to treat, she acknowledges.
Neuromuscular disease specialists, sleep specialists and psychologists, who can help people change their sleep habits and establish a more beneficial sleep cycle, all have a role to play, she says.
Even so, treatment may not work.
"Sometimes compliance is not great," Ciafaloni says. "Sometimes it's just because these interventions that usually help in regular sleep apnea don't help these patients, so they stop using them. Sometimes CPAP just doesn't improve the symptoms as much as it would in sleep apnea without myotonic dystrophy."
Often, it's a combination of medication, habit changes, and CPAP or BiPAP that helps, she says. "It's usually not just one thing fixing it."

And in case she feels like cold is coming – she has 6 capsules in the evening – and in the morning she is fine. This Echinacea is also very gentle – could be given to children also. Great product to entire family. And, in comparison to the prices of anti-cold and anti-flu treatments in pharmacies – also has a great value. Capsules are not too big and easy to swallow. Nature's Way is a trusted manufacturer, they use best organic products for their supplements. So, if you are looking for something to raise the immune system and support your organism during winter periods, organic, affordable and from proven manufacturer - this product if for you.

United Way of Western Connecticut said today $2.8 million had been collected for the Sandy Hook Support Fund as of Friday.
The charitable fund was established jointly by United Way and Newtown Savings Bank.
"We are overwhelmed by the generosity of caring people from across the nation and around the world who are supporting the Newtown community," said Kim Morgan, CEO of United Way of Western Connecticut.
"Words cannot express how much we appreciate the support and sympathy Newtown has received as our community mourns and begins to heal."
One-hundred percent of the funds raised for the Sandy Hook School Support Fund will go to meet the needs of the Newtown community.
United Way is working with leading community members in Newtown to help them develop a structure that will manage and administer the Sandy Hook School Support Fund and determine how best to meet the needs stemming from the events of December 14th.
In addition, United Way has been working to help Newtown's leadership set up a Command Center within the town that will assist in managing volunteers and distributing the tangible goods received over the course of the past week.
The organization is also facilitating communication among local non-profits to link mental health professionals, grief counselors and other social service providers.
"As the families of Newtown grieve, heal and rebuild, the needs will be many and diverse," said Morgan. "We are working diligently and taking the time necessary to ensure that the fund is well-structured and able to respond in a meaningful way in both the near and long term."

By Ron Mitchell and Pete Spanos--
Middle to outside places were in vogue Wednesday when the connections of 20 starters selected post positions for Saturday's $2-million Kentucky Derby (gr. I), for which Bellamy Road was installed as the 5-2 favorite.The order in which the post positions could be selected was determined by a draw earlier in the day, and owner Michael Tabor used the first choice to select post position 15 for Toyota Blue Grass (gr. I) winner Bandini.
Trainer Tim Ritchey quickly went to the middle for 9-2 second-choice Afleet Alex, the Arkansas Derby (gr. II) winner who will start from post 12. "I would have taken 15 if I had first choice," Ritchey said. "I think Todd (Pletcher) did the right thing, but number 12 will give him a lot of room to maneuver. And, I'm from Pittsburgh and that number has been very good with Terry Bradshaw winning four Super Bowls."Rider Jeremy Rose was pleased. "It should work out well," said Rose. "Other than the first two or the last two positions, it's really all the same."For his part, Pletcher, who chose first with Bandini, said it was the auxiliary gate's recent history that aided his decision to put the dark bay son of Fusaichi Pegasus there. "We wanted to be toward the outside, and five out of the last 10 winners have come from the auxiliary gate. We wanted to stay clear of the inside traffic. Plus, if there's a scratch you go to 14 and you're in the same position."Pletcher also used the fourth choice to place Eugene and Laura Melnyk's Flower Alley in the seventh spot from the rail. Representatives of the Derby starters had 60 seconds to make their selections, but the process went quickly with no one deliberating very long. For some, the process was not very scientific. Trainer Warren Stute selected post nine for B. Wayne Hughes' Greeley's Galaxy because "I heard it (9 post position) was lucky." Bob Lewis, who with wife Beverly has won the Derby with Silver Charm and Charismatic, chose 19 with the 19th selection for their son of Golden Missile, Going Wild. Dr. Charlie Graham, a lengendary Texas horseman and longtime friend of Going Wild's trainer, D. Wayne Lukas, carried the placard to the podium for the Lewises."They were nice enough to leave two holes open for us," Bob Lewis said afterwards. "We're more than pleased. I like the outside anyway, and Going Wild can create a burst of speed to put himself in position."Coin Silver's majority owner, John Fort, was surprised that the number five was left when his Peachtree Stable outfit put their silks on the board after 14 places had gone before them."It was available," laughed Fort with his wife Elizabeth after the draw. "This is an excellent post. For sentimental reasons, Elizabeth and I were looking at 13 because Invisible Ink ran so well from that position to get second in 2001. So she said, 'Maybe we should get 12 to move up a place.' We were looking for the auxiliary gate."Trainer Bob Baffert, who has saddled three winners--Silver Charm, Real Quiet, and War Emblem--said he was happy to get the rail with the 18th choice for Sort It Out, a son of Out of Place owned by the partnership of Stonerside Stable and Preferred Pals Stable."I was hoping number one would be left," said the conditioner. "I definitely didn't want 17. Nobody has ever won from there."The trainer of last year's Bessemer Trust Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I) winner Wilko knows he needs to buck history as no winner of that contest has ever gone on to win the Derby."We're very happy with 14," said Craig Dollase, who conditions the son of Awesome Again for co-owners Susan Roy and J. Paul Reddam. "He's a talented colt, and we've got plenty of speed on the inside of us."Trainer Nick Zito, who enters the first Saturday in May with five starters in his care, used the 10th choice to put his morning line favorite Bellamy Road in the 16th starting post."He's a great big horse, and we wanted to keep him on the outside," said Zito.Trainer Bobby Frankel chose post 6 with the fifth pick."A lot of people would have drawn outside," said the man who sent out Master David in last year's edition, "but I'm a believer in saving ground; I want to save ground."The post postions, with jockeys, and morning line odds: 1--Sort It Out (Brice Blanc), 50-1
2-Andromeda's Hero (Rafael Bejarano), 50-1
3--Sun King (Edgar Prado), 15-1
4--Noble Causeway (Gary Stevens), 12-1
5--Coin Silver (Pat Valenzuela), 20-1
6--High Limit (Ramon Dominguez), 12-1
7--Flower Alley (Jorge Chavez), 20-1
8--Greater Good (John McKee), 20-1
9--Greeley's Galaxy (Kent Desormeaux), 15-1
10--Giacomo (Mike Smith), 50-1
11--High Fly (Jerry Bailey), 8-1
12--Afleet Alex (Jeremy Rose), 9-2
13--Spanish Chestnut (Joe Bravo) 50-1
14--Wilko (Corey Nakatani) 20-1
15--Bandini (John Velazquez) 6-1
16--Bellamy Road (Javier Castellano), 5-2
17--Don't Get Mad (Tyler Baze), 30-1
18--Closing Argument (Cornelio Velasquez), 30-1
19--Going Wild (Jose Valdivia Jr.), 50-1
20--Buzzards Bay (Mark Guidry), 20-1

Durban - KwaZulu-Natal topped the list of lottery millionaires in the past two months, national lottery operator Gidani said on Friday.
Gidani spokesperson Thembi Tulwana said of the 10 people who claimed jackpots in the past two months, four were from KwaZulu-Natal.
"For some bizarre reason, KwaZulu-Natal has always managed to produce a high percentage of jackpot winners," she said in a statement.
Tulwana said she believed one of the reasons why KwaZulu-Natal topped the list was because the people of the province had far more experience playing the lottery than the rest of the country.
"The Zulu Kingdom has had an unfair advantage over all the other provinces because when LOTTO was launched in March 2000 it was not a new thing.
"From 1992 until 2000, KwaZulu-Natal used to run a provincial lottery. This gave players in KwaZulu-Natal an eight-year head start in playing the numbers game," said Tulwana.

Mar 18, 2008 Russ Tarby Uncategorized
Liverpool Village Clerk Mary Ellen Sims presented the board of trustees with a tentative budget for 2008-09 at their meeting Monday March 17 at the village hall.
The proposed $2,820,783 annual spending plan is nearly $400,000 less than the 2007-08 budget of $3,195,603.
"It's a very tight budget," said Mayor Marlene Ward. "The department heads are doing a very good job of keeping it tight, as it was last year." Only the village codes-enforcement office's budget increased slightly, she said, due to the hiring of a new officer.
Public hearing April 7
A public hearing at which residents can comment on the proposed budget is scheduled for April 7 at 6 p.m., at the Village Hall. Anyone wishing to peruse the tentative spending plan can look over a copy at the Village Clerk's office, 310 Sycamore St.
If the trustees adopt the budget as written, the village tax rate will drop slightly in the next fiscal year, from $10.08 to $9.99 per $1,000 of assessed property value.
Only the village tax bills will decrease, however, because the town of Salina actually assesses village properties. If those assessments are high, county, town and school taxes will rise accordingly.
Over and above their annual village tax bills, which are mailed out in June, village property owners continue to pay $150 per unit annually for last year's replacement of the village sanitary sewer mains. Those annual payments reduce the debt service on the $2.5 million sewer project while the term of the bond runs nearly 30 years.
According to the Onondaga County Department of Finance, the village has 1,104 parcels with a total taxable value of $117,685,507.
Fund balances eyed
Trustee Gary White wanted to see the village tax rate go even lower. At budget workshop sessions earlier in the month, he said Monday, he had understood the rate would be in the $9.20 to $9.79 range.
Trustee Dennis Hebert and Sims explained that the $9.99 assessment would ensure that future unexpended fund balances do not go too low.
Capital projects and purchases for next year totaling an anticipated $474,500 include money for a new police cruiser, Johnson Park improvements and continued streetscaping on First Street as well as drainage and road work on Hiawatha Trail.
The completed budget must be submitted to New York state by May 1.
Sims said village residents and business owners can find information online at villageofliverpool.org or may call the clerk's office weekdays at 457-3441.

Sunday BBQ: Grilled Pork Chops and Onions
Since I saw Yum's spinach stuffed pork chops, I've been craving thick cut chops. However, it's too hot to cook inside, so my pork will be hitting the grill. This recipe sounds succulent and scrumptious.
The pork is coated lightly with flour and served with a grilled lemon and onion mixture. Once grilled, the lemons are caramelized and juicy. To take a look at the recipe,
Grilled Pork Chops and Onions
From Martha Stewart
- 4 lemons, halved crosswise
- 3 medium red onions, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
- 2 large Vidalia onions, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 4 pork chops (each about 6 ounces, 1 1/2 inches thick), trimmed
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Grill lemons, cut sides down, until marked, 5 minutes.
- Brush onions with oil, and grill, flipping once, until soft, about 5 minutes per side. Grill rosemary until fragrant, 20 seconds.
- Remove rosemary leaves from sprigs, and toss with juice from 2 grilled lemons, onions, oil, salt, and pepper.
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper, and coat with flour, shaking off excess. Grill chops on the hottest part of the grill, flipping once, until marked, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Move chops to edge of grill, and cover. Cook, flipping once, until a meat thermometer registers 145 degrees for medium, about 2 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a plate. Let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Serve with remaining lemons and onion mixture.
Serves 4.

Henson relishing Cardiff chance
Gavin Henson is ready to prove himself all over again when he returns to action with Cardiff Blues.
Last Updated: 27/10/11 7:41pm
Gavin Henson insists his hunger for rugby is "bigger than ever" as he embarks on the latest chapter of an often controversial career with Cardiff Blues.
The 29-year-old Wales international, who is still recovering from the wrist injury which wrecked his World Cup hopes, has joined the region on an eight-month contract after being let go by French outfit Toulon at the end of last season.
Henson, who only returned to action last December after a self-imposed exile of 19 months, has become better known for his appearances in reality television shows such as 71 Degrees North, Strictly Come Dancing and The Bachelor than his rugby abilities, but he claims he has regained his appetite to succeed on the pitch.
He said: "My hunger is bigger than ever. That's exciting for me, I didn't have those feelings until I took that time out. Running out for games and not feeling anything wasn't nice. But those feelings have come back and the love for the game is there.
"I want to prove to myself that I can play week-in week-out rugby. I haven't done that for some long and had those doubts. There's a lot of people I want to prove myself to.
"I do have a high opinion of myself as a rugby player and I think all sports people have to have that confidence. For me it's trying to play weekly."
Henson, who said he is ready to play at fly-half or centre, will face some stiff competition just to secure a place at the Blues.
Scotland international Dan Parks and former Wales international Ceri Sweeney are the incumbent number 10s, while Jamie Roberts will be first choice inside centre following his excellent World Cup displays.
Henson, who has won just 33 caps since making his debut over a decade ago, acknowledges he faces a tough task, but hopes to link up with Roberts in the centre, paying a glowing tribute to the impressive three-quarter.
"He's been incredible and is definitely the best 12 in world rugby," said Henson.
"Any international team would start him at 12, he's been unbelievable and to have the chance to maybe play alongside him will be awesome.
"I've been so impressed with him ever since he came on the scene. It will be interesting. We've played together a couple of times and there have been glimpses that we could complement each other. To work with him now on a daily basis is pretty exciting.
"We interchanged at 12 and 13 against England. It could definitely work but there's a lot for me to do yet."
Henson estimates he is around four weeks away from being available for selection as he continues to recover from the dislocation he picked up in Wales' World Cup warm-up victory over England.
And while he admits he was devastated to miss out on going to New Zealand, the 2005 Lions tourist is not giving up hope of again pulling on the red shirt.
"The injury was crushing and tough for me to take because I missed out on the World Cup again," he said.
"I nearly snuck in there but watching the boys in the World Cup, they had been working hard for two years and it would've been unfair for me to sneak in at the last moment and be a part of that World Cup.
"It was probably best that I missed out on that one. That was the best Wales team I've ever been involved with and that definitely makes me want to be involved more than ever. I've got my work cut out but I'll try my best to get in there."
Henson had played all of his regional rugby with the Ospreys, prior to his departure for short spells with Saracens and Toulon, but is now set to face them while playing for one of their main rivals.
Henson admitted the Liberty Stadium side had been his first choice in terms of returning to Wales, but is grateful for the chance the Blues had afforded him, and hopes to end his career with his new employers.
"Ideally, coming back to Wales I wanted to go back to the Ospreys," he said. "I spent 10 years of my career there and they are my club.
"It's disappointing that it didn't work out but I'm so grateful that the Blues have given me this opportunity and I have to repay them on the pitch. I want this to be my last club."

37 Osborne Street Williamstown 3016 VIC
The Allotment, The Address, The Attraction
Period character and present day comfort explain why its 36 years since this three bedroom, two bathroom home was last on the market. In addition, its deep, wide rear garden illustrates the attraction of a generous allotment on a tree-lined street so close to the bay that the sea breeze is an appealing accompaniment. Scope to renovate when ready, STCA, can be considered from today's engaging proportions including central living and dining areas, a substantial separate kitchen and a family room that reveals the garden. The option to extend upstairs is inspired by the idea of bright new spaces with bay views, a prospect that further enhances the future of a residence with a rich family past. Walk to the beach, wander to the Botanic Gardens and reach transport, schools and Nelson Place in moments.

Manchester United suffer blow as World Cup winner signs new two-year contract
LAURENT BLANC has signed a two-year contract extension at Paris Saint-Germain.
Blanc was reportedly approached by United in January
The Frenchman is on course to guide PSG to their fourth straight Ligue 1 title as they sit top of the table, a staggering 24 points clear of Monaco in second.
And with the club on a 43-match domestic unbeaten streak, Blanc's talents have not gone unnoticed.
Reports in France had claimed that Manchester United approached the 50-year-old, whose contract had been due to expire this summer, in January about replacing Louis van Gaal.
But Express Sport understands that Jose Mourinho now believes he will be the man to replace Louis van Gaal if the Dutchman does indeed leave the club this summer.
And now Blanc, who is a 16/1 outsider to take over at Old Trafford, has ensured that he will remain at PSG until 2018.
"Quite simply, we need to look to the future, that's the way I see it," Blanc said.
"Of course, it's a strong show of faith, and I'm very happy, also for my staff.
"A coach is nothing without his staff. For us, continuing the adventure is a show of faith but also a big responsibility.
"The club has ambitions both nationally and in Europe, and we'll do all we can to reach those objectives.
"We'll get there; we're ready. We're aware that we're at a big club where expectations are very high."
Blanc has previously shunned questions about the renewal of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's contract given that the manager himself was not assured of remaining in his post.
But with the 1998 World Cup winner now signed up for the next two years, both player and club will have to decide whether they want to sit down at the negotiating table.
If Ibrahimovic does not sign a new deal, he has been linked with a move to the Premier League with Chelsea and Arsenal both mooted as possible destinations.

Woops: McCain Funded Rashid Khalidi
Wingnuttia is all ablaze with this story:
John McCain's presidential campaign Tuesday accused the Los Angeles Times of "intentionally suppressing" a videotape it obtained of a 2003 banquet where then-state Sen. Barack Obama spoke of his friendship with Rashid Khalidi, a leading Palestinian scholar and activist.
I guess some are tempted to file this under the category of "October surprise," a blockbuster the McCain campaign tucked away for a rainy day:
"A major news organization is intentionally suppressing information that could provide a clearer link between Barack Obama and Rashid Khalidi," said McCain campaign spokesman Michael Goldfarb. " . . . The election is one week away, and it's unfortunate that the press so obviously favors Barack Obama that this campaign must publicly request that the Los Angeles Times do its job — make information public."
Poor Goldfarb. Unleashed on campaign stooge duty once again. From the Huffington Post:
McCain Funded Work Of Palestinian His Campaign Hopes To Tie To Obama
During the 1990s, while he served as chairman of the International Republican Institute (IRI), McCain distributed several grants to the Palestinian research center co-founded by Khalidi, including one worth half a million dollars.
A 1998 tax filing for the McCain-led group shows a $448,873 grant to Khalidi's Center for Palestine Research and Studies for work in the West Bank. (See grant number 5180, "West Bank: CPRS" on page 14 of this PDF.)
The relationship extends back as far as 1993, when John McCain joined IRI as chairman in January. Foreign Affairs noted in September of that year that IRI had helped fund several extensive studies in Palestine run by Khalidi's group, including over 30 public opinion polls and a study of "sociopolitical attitudes."
It's a sign of last-minute desperation that the McCain campaign had to launch an attack that was so weak and easily refuted. Bet they kept a few things back from the wingnuts when they launched them into hyper-screech?

Jim Harbaugh and his staff are hosting a slew of top players this weekend and they can count from across the country already committed. Roslindale (Mass.) Belmont Hill School wide receiver Corey Gatewood decided to de-commit from the Boston College Eagles and become a Stanford Cardinal.
"I committed earlier in the week," said the 5-foot-11, 175-pounder who was BC's first commitment for the 2006 class. "It was just a better feel for me after Tom O'Brien and the staff left. I had always been interested in Stanford, I know they offer me even a better education and my family is moving out west, probably to Arizona, so it's a good fit overall."
BC wanted Gatewood to get to meet the new coaching staff this weekend before making a final decision, but he decided against it.

"I've made up my mind," he said. "Stanford is a great place, I loved it when I'd been out in that area before and the coaches seem nice. Boston College is a great place, but things are much different for me than back when I committed."
So how will this effect his teammate and current BC commitment Dan Williams?
"I'm not sure," Gatewood said. "He was less sure than me when the coaching change happened but I don't know what he's going to do."

I plan on using Endomondo for GPS positioning and online tracking. At the same time I'll use the music player if thats possible.
I want the phone to be available for emergency contact in/outgoing calls.
I reckon as its off road, I'll be 10 hours in the saddle.
I am on the lookout for a rom thats really light on battery, has a good GPS function and should last the distance. I dont want to be at 5% battery and find I need the phone for emergency calls.
I could use a seperate GPS etc or carry a spare battery but I want to keep the kit to a minimum..... and swapping battery half way will cock up the GPS tracking.

Iowa school districts consolidating in tough times
Administrators worry trend will only worsen
DES MOINES — The number of public school districts has shrunk to 348 in Iowa and will continue to get even smaller.
A dozen K-12 school districts have approved plans to merge into six new districts over the next two school years and voters in another eight districts soon will decide whether to approve four additional mergers in fiscal 2015.
"I think this is another little bubble of consolidation that's moving through," said Jeff Berger, deputy director of the state Department of Education.
However, school officials are concerned the bubble will balloon into something bigger with state sharing incentives and funding help for schools set to expire in fiscal 2014, and new reforms pushed by Gov. Terry Branstad starting to build pressure on districts to implement teacher leadership initiatives and meet statewide core requirements for classes that are designed to boost student achievement and return Iowa schools to world-class status.
"I think that eliminating the incentive may accelerate this in some places that were already marginal," said state education director Jason Glass. "In some cases, we have school districts that have hung on, and this state incentive has been a lifeline to them where they really probably should have considered consolidation earlier so they could provide quality services to their kids."
At the same time, Glass stressed that the reforms being contemplated are not designed or intended to put undo pressure on smaller districts and efforts have been made to build in flexibility to aid districts at all levels in voluntarily configuring a teacher leadership structure that works for them.
"As we ratchet up the quality, which we need to do, it will put a greater demand on all of our schools," he said.
Tom Downs, executive director of the Iowa Association of School Boards, said there is considerable concern among smaller districts that they aren't seeing growth and may not have the wherewithal to reassign up to 10 percent of their teachers to serve in leadership roles and still have the finances to address the new structure the proposed career ladder creates.
"We share those concerns," Downs said.
"Is forced consolidation going to be the byproduct of this reform movement? I think there's no doubt that is a question on the part of some small districts," he said.
Funding concerns
Some of districts' planning decisions will depend on where lawmakers land on a supplemental state aid or "allowable growth" increase for fiscal 2014. Budget targets issued last week had Republicans at 2 percent, or a $74 million increase, and Democrats at 4 percent, which equated to a $148.6 million increase.
Historically, Iowa saw 4,652 school districts in 1950-1951 school year shrink to 1,575 one decade later. That number winnowed to 485 by July 1965, with another 137 school district reorganizations taking place since then to arrive at the current 348 district count.
According to October 2012 school enrollment data, Iowa's overall student count in elementary and secondary schools increased by 2,741 — with 173 districts reporting enrollment gains totaling 6,028 pupils, 171 districts reporting enrollment declines totaling 3,287 pupils and four districts with no change in enrollments.
Rep. Josh Byrnes, R-Osage, said he is offering legislation to renew those incentives for districts looking at different delivery models that address declining enrollments, transportation issues and other challenges. He also wants to see the state invest more in broadband infrastructure that connects more school buildings on satellite campuses in outlying communities.Other options might be for school districts to enlist the help of retired teachers as mentors to help smaller districts build career ladders for beginning and veteran instructors, and school officials may look at what other states have done to designate necessarily small school districts where consolidation is not a good option, he said.

Was flashing a new Radio image with Advanced Hack Kit to my Desire HD and knocked my USB cable at about 80% in. Communication stopped and in a moment of maddness I pulled the battery and reset the phone. Of course I am now left with the HTC logo in the centre of the screen and a triangle with exclamation in each corner of the screen.
Attempting to boot into vol+ and power the phone but I get 3 vibrations and orange light flashing, after doing research this means Desire is in Qualcomm upload mode?
Having to remove the battery to get it to turn off vol- and power does nothing but power on and present the splash with exclamations.
Removing the battery again and turning on phone normally when usb cable is removed from device white bootloader screen shows but with no boot options, there is some information there:
Apr 12 2011, 00:55:45
RUU is selected as default but cannot be chosen when pressing power.
Can anyone tell me what current state the phone is in as some people say this is a soft brick and others are saying proper brick go JTAG or send in for repair to manufacturer.
Any assistance on this would be great, I've researched it a lot but cannot find the definitive answers so now I'm turning to the pro's for help

Merging with Macros Edit
Imho, there's unnecessary duplication of a lot of macro related facts, involving, but not limited to:
- Macros
- UI Questions
- UI Beginners Guide (note though that page is sort of the primer on macros vs scripts vs addons, and gets linked from Interface Customization so macros deserve a basic mention there)
(Hrms, I could have sworn there were more pages with macro facts strewn about the place. Can't find them atm though.)
Either way, the "ask questions here" bit that this page is proclaiming is a bit misleading. I just don't see anyone watching this page for new questions so they can jump and answer them. At least not anymore. --Mikk 17:45, 12 June 2006 (EDT)
- Actually, come to think of it, it might just be that the page should be touched up and renamed to something better and placed in the Macros category. --Mikk 17:49, 12 June 2006 (EDT)
- Sounds like a plan. Anything to reduce repetition and confusion is a good idea, imho. -- Kirkburn 18:27, 12 June 2006 (EDT)
- Ok, it's now "Macro FAQ", and in Category:FAQs and Category:Macros

Thirsty salt cedar trees are wreaking havoc with area water supplies, competing for precious resources.
But fortunately, there's a solution — bugs.
Rather than eliminate the trees with chemicals, researchers introduced to their habitat a species of beetle that does the destruction for them. The salt cedar leaf beetles and their larvae eat the tree's leaves, but don't seem attracted to regular cedar trees — or hardly anything else, for that matter.
"The beetles will strictly eat the salt cedar," said Glen Killough, district conservationist in Garza County. "They're pretty amazing."
The salt cedars, also known as tamarisks, are considered an invasive species. That means they're not native to the areas they live now, but have pretty much taken them over. They have higher water demands than many of their indigenous peers, and are likely to be found where they can find lots of it.
"They are a big water consumer, and that's where they grow — along rivers and lakes," Killough said.
One of those water sources is Lake Alan Henry, which — like other municipal water suppliers — could have better uses for its limited resources. City and area officials have listed water as a top concern, and most have voiced support for projects that help conserve it.
"Many years of studies indicate salt cedar takes a lot more water than most vegetation," said Aubrey Spear, Lubbock's director of water resources and environmental management. "...The beetles will be good partners."
The salt cedars don't seem to be very good neighbors to fellow plants, either. While not only drinking more than their fair share, their roots also tend to alter the balance of the soil content.
"They change the soil pH and make the ground saltier, which inhibits natural plant growth," said Greg Jones, agriculture agent for the Garza County branch of Texas AgriLife Extension Service.
A pH number reflects whether soil is acidic or alkaline.
The trees are native to Asia and the Middle East. How and when they landed in Texas is not completely certain, Jones said, but could have been related to landscaping aesthetics and erosion control.
Herbicide applications are a standard method for dealing with most unwanted vegetation, but they can have unintended effects on the surrounding environment. They're also temporary — the sprayed-upon trees will return.
"When you spray chemicals on an area, anything that will kill salt cedar will also kill native plants you want to keep," Jones said. "Biological control is the most logical control. It's a lot more economical in the long run."
After the beetle consumes the salt cedar leaves, the process of photosynthethis halts and the roots die.
Migrants themselves, the bugs are native to the islands of Crete and Tunisia. Researchers introduced them in Texas a few years ago, hoping they can grow as abundant as the trees they were put there to stop.
"We're hoping to get them established so they'll spread on their own, and they have in some areas," Jones said.

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has revealed the communications lines with the club's co-owner Tom Hicks have improved in recent weeks.
"We don't e-mail every day but before a game he will send me a positive message encouraging the team.
"He'll also send messages after the game. He's very, very supportive."
Asked whether it was time for fans to stop protesting against Hicks, Benitez added: "I cannot say anything to our fans in terms of what they must or must not do.
"What I can say is that my relationship with him is good."
