Apple adds 'Offers In-App Purchases' warning to the iTunes App Store (updated)
Apple has added a new warning label to apps in the iTunes App Store that contain in-app purchase options. You can now see at a glance if a particular app you are considering buying has in-app purchases. This new feature will hopefully help you make good decisions when buying apps that appear to be free but then later encourage you to upgrade them within the app; sometimes at really high costs.
The new "Offers In-App Purchases" warning is currently only visible within the desktop version of the iTunes App Store; but we would expect that to be rolled out across the iPhone and iPad versions of the store very soon. The new warning coincides with Apple settling a US lawsuit over in-app purchases and numerous other stories around the world of children running up huge bills on their parents credit cards.
The new warning will still not prevent careless parents from allowing their children access to their passwords and running up huge bills but it will give Apple a better legal argument. Also it may be a sign that Apple could offer the ability to filter apps from the App Store that contain in-app purchases; this could be a good option for parents that give their children access to their iTunes password to download free apps.
One thing is for certain, the "Freemium" model where apps are offered for free and then offer upgrades via in-app purchases looks here to stay. Some of the most high profile apps like Real Racing 3 are adopting this model. Rather than selling an app for an upfront cost, a developer can give it away free and then earn much more through paid power ups and features.
I personally really dislike the "Freemium" model and would rather pay upfront for the whole game. I avoid any game that offers in-app purchases but that is my choice. What do you think of the "Freemum" model with in-app purchases?
Update: The warning has now propagated throughout the App Store on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

Apple adds 'Offers In-App Purchases' warning to the iTunes App Store (updated)
I can also verify the notice is in the App Store on iPhone. Just checked Real Racing 3. I personally dislike freemium as well, if I want the game I'll buy it, allow a demo for people to see if they want to buy it though, and if you're going to make it free then make it free all the way through. And by no means, ever, I mean never ever, expect someone to pay for an app, and then continue to charge them in app.
I do hope though, that this notice at least makes people think twice about using freemium on iOS. Cause here's the thing, a lot of people want free and as soon as they see that notice will say "ha, I didn't need that app anyway" and move on to the next.
I guess for me in-app purchases are alright just so long as the game is still reasonably playable without them (i.e., grinding high levels shouldn't take hours compared if you bought an item which will get you a level within 5 minutes). But given the choice, yeah, I agree with you that it's better to just pay for the whole game upfront rather than freemium models.
Freemium isn't free it's just delayed debit. Apps that cost then sell in app purchases are like layaway pay a little down then by the month later till it cost you more then if it had a cash buy now complete choice. And Freemium is just revolving credit which I try to pass on. I do like some apps that have a lite version for trying out app and then a regular or pro app that for all features you pay up front. So like life nothing free it only depends on when u want to pay for it.
I think the parents should have got $0 from Apple as they are the ones who basically allowed this. We have no accountability anymore. I gave my 5 year old an old iPod touch we had and turned on restrictions and she can't purchase apps or in-app purchases. It took all of 5 seconds and no issues.
i just disable in app purchases thus never any surprises.
I personally hate the freemium model and avoid any games using this method. While I see it's appeal for some people I find it very annoying. The worst thing is the free section of the App Store is now riddled with these apps so it's a little hard to know what's actually free and what isn't. I've started staying away from free apps now in general and shop the free section very infrequently where it used to be a near daily occasion.
Since I don't visit the free section anymore I don't shop the paid apps either. The free apps used to bring me in and I would look over both lists. A few times a month I drop into the app store to see if anything catches my eye. I'm making a lot less impulse purchases now which is a good thing for me I guess....no so much for the developers however.
I'm so glad this was implemented. I have purchase so many free apps that I later discover you have to purchase additional. I would rather know in advance. This is a good thing. I'm glad this happened!
I really don't mind them selling extra stuff in the game as long as the game is full featured without buying anything extra. Some games do this better then others. Of course there's the temtation to leave off portions of the game that would have been otherwise included if in app purchases weren't available. This has become a big issue on the console side as different maps and levels are sometimes purposely saved for paid DLC.
Great article Chris!! Look I am completely on the same page with you. I honestly still play Infinty Blade 2 and one of the great things is I paid upfront and still have the option to purchase in game money to use but its not in my face consistently. I had downloaded Cut the rope mainly fo my kids to play and it is a Freemium product but I got annoyed with the constant pop ups that made my 2 yr old push the wrong thing. I had to cancel out of the in game purchase like every level just so she could play... Very annoying so I deleted it today. I like the free games especially for my kids but just make it a chopped down "lite" version and then make it for purchase. One thing I liked about gaming on my phone was the low cost of premium games and the portability of the device. Keep up the great work!!
Finally I don't have to download a supposedly 'free' app and be disappointed with the bombardment of in-app purchases. Thank you Apple.
I just looked for the Top in app Purchases tab in the app details. It can show what kind of limitations there may be too.
This is actually a kind of nice feature. Almost every free game app out there now tends to follow the "freemium" model though, so it is almost pointless. If they could integrate a filter system into the App Store that would be cool though. It's always annoying to download a game and realize that it is going to try and sell you in app content every 5 minutes. If much rather just pay a one time, up front cost for the app.
I also do not like the freemium model. Let me just buy the game and have all of it. I don't give my hard earned money to the developers via this process. I would much rather pay for the game up front. I really don't like enjoying a game and then not being able to get the full game unless I buy.
This reminds me of the old online games that were free to play and then tried to suck your wallet dry so you could continue to enjoy the game. No, I don't support this either, but as you say, it appears here to stay. To bad developers were pushed in this direction by the consumers.
Sadly you're right. If people would have stopped buying IAP's we woudn't be in this spot. I was really shocked when I started hearing how much money people were spending on virtual stuff that was tied to one game.
My daughter "accidentally" spent $10 in tiny tower after I downloaded an app 3 minutes prior. Password should be mandatory for every purchase
Apple should allow that the password should be entered every single time an in-app purchase is made from an account. That would help in preventing impulse buys or when it is done by mistake. Although I don't see this happening.
I think Apple needs to disable in-app purchases for apps if the users chooses to do so. It is not fair that you have to avoid playing a game if you have to pay additional money in order to get the full experience that the app offers to users who have the money to pay in-app purchases. Not to mention, it is not fair to parents who want to be able to trust their kids enough to give them a password for a free app, just to have their kid run up a bill on them. Why is their not the option to avoid having this happen? It would make more sense to allow it to be disabled.
I think this a great and needed update. I do however think that about 99% of the games for iOS are in app purchase games so maybe this is pointless. This really upsets me because Apple should just put a stop to this immediately. Apple has so much power and control that they could just say by this date no more in app purchases and that would be the end of it. Money is king. Maybe next in the iBook store you can buy an awesome book for 99 cents but in order to get every even work in Chapter 2 you have to buy some credits.

Tuesday, November 5, 2013
Isle of Palms residents had two choices for the city's mayoral position in tonight's election, and both are familiar faces.
Dick Cronin, current mayor, and Ryan Buckhannon, current mayor pro tem, are both campaigned for the job, but Cronin was the voter's favorite.
They were the only people to submit petitions to the city office.
There were four city council positions up for grabs. Incumbents Barbara Bergwerf and Marty Bettelli, as well as Sandy Ferencz and Patrick Harrington were elected to those seats. The same is true for the Isle of Palms Water and Sewer Commission, which Curtis Helfrich and Dana Love were the only two to submit petitions.
Cronin told the Moultrie News it has been an honor to serve the island as mayor for the past five years – much has been accomplished.
Since 2000 he has served on the city's planning commission.
As mayor he said he would continue to champion legislation in Columbia, which would allow beach communities to fund beach preservation needs by charging tourists. This legislation has passed the Senate and is awaiting action in the House next year. He said he was successful in getting this year's state budget to include $2 million for beach preservation; it has been $0 in the recent budgets.
"I believe we can maintain a healthy and vibrant community, while prudently spending our resources to provide city services. While a small city, we have the reputation of doing things right; that takes leadership," he told the Moultrie News during his campaign.
Cronin said he will work to building solutions based on partnerships with the county and the state that benefit all residents of our city is an important aspect of my leadership.

With the iPhone 4S launch nearly two years ago, Apple introduced the Siri voice control system to its customers. At launch, Siri was a gimmicky feature at best, being released with bugs, a highly-computerized voice, sluggish content loading, and unreliable servers. In addition, Siri of 2011 was short on user compatibility, only launching with knowledge of English, French, and German. Apple certainly did not deny the early issues with Siri: the company launched the product in "beta," a tag that has remained on the software ever since.
Since 2011, Apple has been slowly improving the service. In early 2012, Siri gained support for Japanese, and with iOS 6 in late 2012, the service added support for several new languages and capabilities. With iOS 7, Siri has been given a redesigned user-interface, new functionality, and all-new voices. Many of the server errors and lengthy processing time issues that riddled the product in its early days have now disappeared; and it seems that Apple agrees. With the upcoming launch of iOS 7, it appears that Apple will finally be taking Siri out of "beta."
Late this past week, Apple updated its Siri webpages to drop all references to the product being in beta. Prior to this past week, the bottom of the Siri informational page read:
Siri is available in Beta only on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad with Retina display, iPad mini, and iPod touch (5th generation) and requires Internet access. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Cellular data charges may apply.
Now the page reads (dropping beta):
Siri is available on iPhone 4s or later, iPad with Retina display, iPad mini, and iPod touch (5th generation) and requires Internet access. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Cellular data charges may apply.
Additionally, Apple has removed its Siri FAQs website (Google Cache) that explained some of the finite details of the service and the supported languages. Because Siri seems to no longer be in beta, perhaps Apple feels that the service now performs well enough to not need an additional page of explanations.
The iOS 7 Siri Page:
The iOS 6 Siri Page:
iOS 7 officially launches on September 18th, and the new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c will follow on September 20th. Thanks to Joel for the lead!

Siri is cool however I still notice lag and server issues in iOS 7 beta. Yes, I UNDERSTAND it is a beta. So I'm hopeful that in iOS 7 production Siri is much improved.
Did you not read the article? It was clearly stating in iOS 7 that Siri had exit beta. It still can be updated, but you saying there is lag and server issues because isn't because it has the tag 'beta'.
Did you not read his comment? He is talking about iOS7 Beta.
No, he's saying iOS7 is still in Beta because it hasn't been released yet. Any copy that someone is using (a developer probably) is the Beta version. So the iOS7 Siri is not using the production servers or backend yet. When you correct someone, you should take pains not to be wrong about it.
GM is massively faster than the betas were.
I am running iOS 7 GM on an iPhone 5 and Siri has been freakishly fast and accurate (almost as fast as Google voice search). My thought was exactly the title of this article.
Look forward to new Siri. If you guys use iOS 7 already have you by any chance noticed if Siri reads calendar appointments for you – couple of weeks ago it stopped it just pulls up the list. Before it used to go meeting by meeting and tell me what my day looked like during my drive to work – having a list on screen whilst driving is not very useful and I hope they go back…
I've been able to get Siri to read my calendar appointments in the most recent iOS7 build. In *most* cases when Siri brings up reminders, notes, message, emails, calendar events, etc. on the screen and doesn't read them out loud, I'm able to just say "read it" or "read them to me", and it will do so. I hope it starts working for you again in iOS7!
Thank you very much that's great;). Getting pretty excited by the other positive comments – look forward to upgrading on Wednesday:)
Good catch, Mark! I have used Siri only infrequently for about a year, and a couple days ago I decided to test out what's changed now that I'm running the iOS7 GM build on my iPhone.
I'm actually pretty impressed with the progress Siri has made in "filling in the holes" of functionality that used to be frustrating. Just on a whim, I asked Siri to search my emails for message containing the word "flight" (which she found right away), and then I was able to say "read me the first one", and then "read me the next one", etc. all with no issues!
Similarly I asked Siri to search my notes for any having to do with "furniture" and she did this also successfully and quickly and was able to read me the note aloud when requested. The first "hole" I stumbled upon in the current version of Siri was sharing. I asked Siri so share the note with my wife and she said "I can't share your notes". However, Siri was able to find a reminder that I had previously created and share it with my wife. She was also able to pull up and read specific reminder lists, but not mark any as complete "I can't update reminders. Sorry about that,". She also was able to tell my what notifications I had missed and read them to me.
Overall, Siri feels a lot more complete to me now, and more useful as a separate and easier way of doing common tasks. The response time generally felt quicker as well. I think I'll probably use Siri more throughout the next year than I did in the last year, but I really look forward to:
1) Filling in more "holes". I would like to be able to conversationally ask Siri to do anything I can do manually in apps, particularly sharing photos, notes, etc. As an observation though – Siri can do a really large percentage of the functionality of built-in apps automatically or through voice requests. Pretty impressive and complete coverage.
2) Local processing of voice requests, so Siri can do a subset of things without an Internet connection.
3) I think an "always listening" option would be cool, so if my phone is on my desk, I can just ask my question to Siri out loud without picking it up.
I don't find myself wishing for Siri integration with 3rd party apps as many people do, perhaps because I use the stock Calendar, Mail, Messaging, Notes and Reminders apps for everything anyway. I doubt 3rd party apps will get the level of Siri integration available in Apple built-in apps any time soon, if ever.
I would like to see more "serendipitous" or "proactive" notifications in the style of Google Now, to let me know about traffic conditions, package deliveries, nearby transit schedules, points of interest, etc. But I don't see any reason why this needs to be through Siri. Just normal notifications would work fine for me.
I'm definitely interested in seeing what other web-based services Apple can integrate with Siri – like calling a cab through Uber, finding me a good price on a plane flight or car rental through Kayak and booking it, and giving me information about my recent spending and budgeting through Mint. It would be cool to stand in the supermarket and ask "how much have I spent here this month?" or "how much did I spend here last month?" or "how much do I have left in my grocery budget"?
Also, integration with my iWork documents in the cloud would be cool, particularly once they add collaboration features. I'd like to have Siri add comments to documents for me, read recent changes, and share access to documents with new people.
Really excited to see how Apple keep building out this "personal assistant" concept!
nice table design :)
Never mind the server, Siri has simply never actually understood my voice to a degree that makes it really useful for anything.
If you have to say somethings twice, you can type the query faster, it's as simple as that. And if it gets one word out of twenty wrong and doesn't do punctuation, it's useless as for dictation also.
My suspicion is that this is one of those things that works great for Americans and that Siri is actually tuned to the American voice, because the things it gets wrong are consistently those things that Americans say or pronounce differently from the rest of the world.
Yeah, this is a good point. Siri is still pretty bad with accents as well. My wife speaks English with a very slight Russian accent, but it's enough to throw Siri off. I had a coworker with an Indian accent who tried Siri, and the voice recognition only got about 10% of it right.
For now, it's only a good option for people who speak the exact supported languages and dialects, without any accent. Since Nuance, who supposedly does the voice recognition software layer for Siri, has options in their desktop software to "train" their system to recognize a specific accent or dialect or user's voice, it would be really nice if a Siri user's iCloud account could store such individual "training" in Apple's data center, and give each user a personalized, highly accurate voice recognition configuration.
Hopefully, such improvements are on the roadmap.
Im not native speaker but lived in London for 2 years and can do pretty awful fake posh English accent that I would be embarassed to use anywhere but in the car – works like a charm with Siri though;)
It's actually very bad with arabic accent too .. on the other hand google chrome is striking accurate with arabic accent and have the support for all arabic speaking types too .. this only applied to the recognition part of the service .. I'm actually sad siri can't speak arabic ..
I dont understnad how they can NOT call it Beta when it doesnt support nearly a fraction of the languages iOS support. I can´t use Siri, since I dont want to speak english to my phone when my native language is Norwegian.
the iphone 5c designed specially for emerging markets but will siri support maps in india ?
I asked Siri if she was in beta, she said "no comment"
Siri has no match to vangie. Vangie is many decades more advanced than siri. Just search vangie in youtube and see the difference.
First impression from reading the title alone, "seems" sounds like doubt and knowing software and how bloated it can get and buggy it can be and appear to be functional makes me wonder what can be wrong with it that may not have come out during testing.
Now after reading the article, it still sounds like doubt of the existence of hope for its ability so all I am left is with the question I have to ask myself all the time. Should we (developers) have an obligation to the customer to speak up when there is a problem or allow bugs that can be fixed but will cause deadlines to be pushed back for the greater good of the company and it's image? Or Should we keep quiet and not express our concerns because we are the new person and should just listen to our leaders and allow the pressure of the customer to inadvertently influence our judgement and decisions? As a developer I know, at least now, that people will not listen unless you can give a sound argument backed by solid evidence. In essence, we have to become lawyers in everything we do no matter the career choice.
From what I have read so far of other articles is that Apple is losing its stronghold on the mobile phone market at least. Could it be a cause of people becoming aware of Apple's motivations or is it just that their failure it bringing light or shedding a distorted image of what Apple is trying to achieve?
Siri is the worst voice activation feature in the known universe. My old Blackberry was far better than Siri on my iPhone 5…
I have found Siri to be a major distraction and I am yet to find a way to disable the damn thing. No matter how much I try and follow the recommended steps, I am unable to disable it.
I use Waze for my GPS and when I am driving down the Interstate at more than 65 miles an hour in heavy traffic, Siri pipes up, "How can I help you?" (Thankfully there are no children in my car then otherwise I would be guilty of indecent language!)
One of the first questions that I asked Siri was "Where is Steve Jobs?" Jobs had just passed away then. I got a reply, "I don't know what Steve Jobs is."
Why does an app you speak to need an interface update?
It seems a very innovative system, your application is very useful for some people who have limitations and its functionality is not limited merely to the use of the hands, making it a system with great potential for the future, it is logical to have flaws, and thereby demonstrate that those errors do not achieved during the development stage. I have faith in the product (http://www.officegraphicdesign.com/web-design-miami/ ).

Elkin High School seniors head under the sea this weekend for their senior play, Disney's "The Little Mermaid."
According to organizers, the production will open Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Dixon Auditorium at the high school and again on Sunday at 3 p.m. Tickets are $8 for adults, $5 for students and children and will be available at the door. The doors to the auditorium seating will open 30 minutes prior to showtime.
The event is sponsored by the Foothills Arts Council.
Directing this year's seniors are Leighanne Martin Wright, Kim Arnold (choreography) and Tonya Smith (music).
According to the art council, this is the seventh year the three have worked together on a senior play production (eight for Wright and Arnold). The students have been meeting since January, dancing, singing, and helping to build sets and costumes. The costumes were designed and built by Wright including Scuttle, Ursula, Flounder and the sea creatures.
Selection of the play required a careful eye by art council officials who jumped at the opportunity to produce it.
"Actually when I saw the title was going to be available through Music Theatre International I wanted to do it last year, but it was not released until late last spring. So we did Disney's Aladdin for 2012. But I held onto my thought and applied for Little Mermaid as soon as I could," said Leighanne Martin Wright, executive director of the Foothills Arts Council.
The cast consists of Hannah Barron as Ariel, Caleb Harris as Sebastian, Madison Durham as Ursula and a mersister, Victoria Harris as Flounder, Seth Creed as Scuttle, Jonathan Parker as Triton, Houston Parks as Prince Eric, Chance Hogan as Grimsby, Sam Lane and Tyler Stoltzfus as the eels Flotsam and Jetsam, Jonne Miley, Morgan Minton, Damaris Minoso, Alix Hall and Jasmine Strickland as the mersisters and Carlotta, Logan Newman as Chef Louis and a sailor, Coley McCulloch as the seahorse and a sailor, Jake Pickett, Luke Williams, Ashton Gant and Frank Miller as sailors and sea creatures. Also in the production are seniors Ray Arnold, Logan Minton, Jonathan Young and Josh Brinegar backstage, in the light booth and in the orchestra. Rounding out the orchestra pit are Smith on keyboard and Josh Casstevens on bass.
"This cast may not be huge (in comparison to the size of other productions), but it is powerful," said Wright.
"Great singers and actors, plus they are having fun and it shows on stage. I love how our Ursula turned out. Madison doesn't wear her costume, she rides it," she said.
The family friendly production runs about an hour and 15 minutes.

After naming Google Gears the most innovative product of 2007, PC World is disappointed that very few important applications use Google's technology. Gears is still an early product, but most of the news articles that mention it talk about making web applications available offline, even if Google Gears is much more than that. An important point from PC World's article is that Google doesn't show a list of applications that use Gears before installing the plug-in, so users don't have too many reasons to try it. Here's a list of some important applications that use Google Gears:
* Google Reader
- feed reader from Google
- the Gears integration was added in May 2007
- it lets you read the most recent 2000 posts offline, without having access to images and enclosures. You can also star posts or tag them.
* Remember the Milk
- task management application
- the second application Gears-enabled, six days after Google Reader
- most of the functionality is available offline. "Not only can you access your lists, but you can add new tasks and notes, edit existing tasks (complete, postpone, prioritise, tag, and change due dates to your heart's content), use your own personal tasks search engine, create new Smart Lists, and more."
* Zoho Writer
- online word processor
- supports Gears since August 2007, with an important update in November and Windows Mobile support since March 2008
- a number of recent documents can be viewed and edited offline
* PassPack
- online password manager
- launch date: September 2007
- "With the Offline Version, you can download your data from your PassPack account, then access and manage it whenever you wish. This is not a read only version, you are free to make changes and save them locally. To synchronize your online and offline accounts, use the backup and restore functions."
* MindMeister
- online mind mapping
- launch date: November 2007
- "The MindMeister Offline Mode allows users to work on their mind maps even when they're offline, i.e. not connected to the Internet. All changes will be saved locally and synchronized back into your MindMeister account the next time you go online," explains a help page.
* Buxfer
- personal finance manager
- the Gears support was added in January 2008 and was extended to Windows Mobile in March
- the application has the option to store the authentication information offline. "You will have the convenience of not needing to login into your financial institution repeatedly, as well as the peace of mind that your private information is secure and completely under your control!"
* Autodesk Labs Project Draw
- create diagrams online
- launch date: January 2008
- the application can run in the offline mode and synch files later when you reconnect
* Google Docs
- online word processor
- experimental launch for a small percent of users - March 2008
- you can view and edit documents offline
* Picasa Web Albums Mobile
- photo sharing service
- offline support for Windows Mobile 6 touchscreen devices, April 2008
- you can view photo albums offline
* Paymo
- time tracker
- Gears-enabled from April 2008
- Google Gears added the "ability to work offline and sync the data with the Paymo server once an internet connection is available"
* MySpace
- social network
- the Gears integration was launched on May 29
- Google Gears allows users to search and sort their messages locally as MySpace considered it was "time consuming and cost-prohibitive to add indexes on the server".
* Wordpress.com
- hosted blogging service
- Gears enabled from July 2008
- "On WordPress.com it is used to store all images and other web page components from the admin area to the user's PC, speeding up access and reducing unnecessary web traffic. The speed increase is most noticeable when Internet is slow or on high latency and makes everybody's blogging experience more enjoyable."

The Romania international has played in all of City's FA Cup games this season and Roberto Mancini is set to stick with him for the final on Saturday, ahead of England number one Joe Hart.
However, the 26-year-old admits that he is growing increasingly frustrated at his lack of league action. He is yet to play in the Premier League since joining from Poli Timisoara in 2011.
"It is good for me to be playing - it is an important game, not just for me but also for the team. It is a trophy, and everyone wants to win it," he told The Sun.
"The manager stopped all the speculation because you don't want everyone to speculate about what is happening.
"I am happy here at City but it's normal that I want to play. I am only young. The technical staff and everyone knows that after the season is finished, I want to leave but discussion will come after the season.
"I don't know if Saturday will be my last game for the club it depends on what happens. I am only sure that I want to play, that is what is best for me.
"I am young, I'm not 35 or something, waiting to finish my career.
"The manager of the national team tells me every time I speak to him 'Please try to play more', so it is also important for my country, as well as for my career.
"We will wait to see what happens after the season. It is not just about my opinion - there is also the manager's opinion."
No regrets
Despite not seeing much action, Pantilimon insists he has no regrets over his decision to move to Manchester.
"My agent will discuss it with the manager and we will see what happens. But I still think City was a good choice by me," he added.
"I have been waiting for my chance and now I am playing in the FA Cup final.
"You work hard to try to play more, but I knew Joe is a very good keeper, the England number one. I took the risk because it was an opportunity to be at a top club.
"For a keeper it is difficult. Other players get to play for a few minutes, or in other positions, but it is not like that for a keeper.
"I didn't doubt I would play in the final because I feel I have done okay in these games. Now it's my chance to do it in the final."

Officials with the Town of Summerville's Junior Team Tennis program are making plans to expand.
For Junior Team Tennis each team plays boys' singles, girls' singles, boys' doubles, girls' doubles and mixed doubles in each match. Emphasis is placed on fun, fitness and making friends during practice and match play.
The Town of Summerville JTT league plays at the Doty Street courts and currently fields teams in the 8U, 10U and 12U divisions but will add 14U and 18U teams for its next season.
The 8U and 10U divisions play on smaller courts with larger tennis balls and smaller rackets.
"This allows them to develop correct form, be successful and not be intimidated by the larger courts and faster balls," instructor Kathy Peebles said.
Older players use regular courts with regular balls.
The Town's junior league recently wrapped up its Spring/Summer season by sending teams to the Junior Team Tennis South Carolina Championships held in Florence. Summerville's Topspin Tornados won the 10U division and local teams also participated in 12U competition and 8U exhibition games.
Registration for the upcoming season will soon be available. Anyone interested should check with school websites or visit the www.summerville.sc.us.

DURHAM, N.H. – Kacey Bellamy (Westfield, Mass.) and Sean McNamara (Honeoye Falls, N.Y.) were named the 2009 recipients of the Jim Urquhart Student-Athlete of the Year by the University of New Hampshire athletic department at Tuesday night's annual Senior Banquet.
The award is named in memory of longtime UNH coach Jim Urquhart, who coached the New Hampshire men's lacrosse team for 17 years and the wrestling team for 11 seasons before taking the position as Associate Athletic Director of Event Management in 1997. He passed away after suffering a heart attack on Jan. 14, 1998.
The Jim Urquhart Student-Athlete of the Year Award began in 1999 and is bestowed annually upon UNH senior student-athletes who excel both in athletic competition and the classroom, as well as possessing great character, sportsmanship and a passion for sports.
The Tina True Memorial Award, given annually since 2007 to two Wildcat athletes for their commitment to strength and conditioning, was presented to Bellamy and Tom Bishop (Newfield, N.Y.), a senior punter/placekicker on the football team.
True was a co-captain and coxswain of the women's crew team from 2000 to 2002. Her commitment to training and her passion for her sport greatly contributed to the success of the team. In January of her junior year, Tina's life was tragically cut short in a car accident.
Bellamy had a highly decorated career on UNH's women's ice hockey team that was capped off as an RBK All-America First Team selection this season. The senior captain ranked third in the nation in defensemen scoring with 28 points (6g, 22a) in 35 games. She recorded three goals and 14 assists for 17 points in 21 Hockey East league games as well as 4-10-14 in 17 games against nationally-ranked teams. Bellamy ranked second on the team in plus/minus and third in assists. Her season highlights included a four-assist game against intrastate rival Dartmouth College that marked personal bests in both assists and points.
Bellamy's other 2009 accolades included New England All-Star Team, Hockey East First Team All-Star and Hockey East Tournament MVP. She was the recipient of the Colleen Coyne Award (best defenseman) for the second consecutive year at the team banquet and also received the Karyn Bye Award (MVP) this year.
In 143 career games, Bellamy amassed 27 goals and 80 assists for 107 points. Among UNH defensemen, those numbers rank second in games played and third in both assist and points. In fact, she finished just one point shy of the benchmark of 108 career points. In Bellamy's four years, the Wildcats swept the Hockey East regular season and tournament championships every year; the 'Cats also competed in the NCAA tournament all four years and advanced to the Frozen Four twice.
Bellamy will graduate with a degree in women's studies. She has been involved in numerous community service activities including the Big Sister program, various clean-up days, Read Across America and visits to patients at a local brain trauma center.
"Kacey is one of those rare athletes who possess a combination of elite athleticism coupled with unusual humility," women's ice hockey head coach Brian McCloskey said. "She has an incredible work ethic, a tenacious, competitive spirit and a sincere concern for the welfare of her teammates. She is easily the finest leader that I have ever worked with. Kacey is simply one of those special individuals that comes along once or twice in a long career – someone who quietly goes about their business of contributing, improving and helping make those around them better."
McNamara was a four-year standout on the men's alpine ski team as he competed at the NCAA Ski Championships all four years. He finished fifth in the slalom at the 2009 NCAAs to earn his fourth career All-America award. He also was an All-East First Team honoree this year and capped the Eastern carnivals by winning the giant slalom and placing second in the slalom at the EISA championships.
McNamara finished in the top 10 in all 12 carnival races this season with 10 top-5 finishes overall to help lead UNH to the highest men's alpine team score in 11 of 12 events. He was the top 'Cat six times and that included both Middlebury Carnival events in which he was second overall in the slalom and third in the giant slalom. He also earned second place in the UVM slalom and UNH giant slalom.
McNamara garnered All-America status last year with a 10th-place finish in the giant slalom; he also took 13th in the slalom. In 2007, he placed 12th in the slalom. As a freshman, McNamara was a two-time All-America honoree for finishing fifth in both disciplines. His efforts led the 'Cats to a pair of ninth-place finishes and two other 11th-place efforts at the NCAAs.
In addition to those athletic accomplishments, McNamara is a four-time selection to the NCAA All-Academic Ski Team, which requires a minimum grade point average of 3.50 and competition in a regional championship.
McNamara was a three-year member of SAAC and served as co-president this year. He has been involved in UNH committees, the Big Brother program and has both organized and participated in numerous charity projects and fundraisers. McNamara has earned High Honors every semester and will graduate with a degree in exercise science and aspirations of becoming an orthopedic surgeon.
"Sean is one of the most talented athletes that I have worked with," UNH alpine coach Brian Blank said. "He is a natural leader and has earned the respect and admiration of his teammates through his hard work and dedication. He strongly believes that being a student-athlete means it is his duty to balance his academic and athletic schedule. Sean's commitment and success is contagious and it allowed our entire team to rise to his level. His presence as a skier will have an impact on our team for years to come."
Bishop averaged a UNH-record 41.3 yards per punt this season and pinned the opposition inside the 20-yard line on 20 of 42 punts; he also recorded eight punts of 50+ yards. Bishop was the team's second-leading scorer with 70 points. He made 11 of 14 field goal attempts and was 37-for-38 on PATs. Bishop was named to both the CAA All-Conference Second Team and All-Academic Team in 2007 and 2008.
Bishop was key to the Wildcats finishing the 2008 season with a 10-3 overall record, winning the CAA North Division title, making their fifth straight appearance in the NCAA FCS Tournament and advancing to the FCS quarterfinals for the fourth time in the past five years.
In addition to Bellamy, the women nominees for the Urquhart Award were Sarah Craigue (Concord, N.H.; field hockey), Sarah Hall (Nottingham, N.H.; track & field), Michelle Sheehan (Belmont, Mass.; soccer), Justine Turner (Salem, N.H.; gymnastics), Sarah Von Bargen (East Setauket, N.Y.; lacrosse) and Sarah Wright (Wyoming, Minn.; skiing).
In addition to McNamara, the men candidates for the Urquhart Award were Mike Boyle (Plymouth, N.H.; football), Thomas Fortney (Webster Groves, Mo.; ice hockey) and Kyle Urso (Lombard, Ill; soccer).

- Origin and pathogenesis of nodular lymphocyte–predominant Hodgkin lymphoma as revealed by global gene expression analysis (2008)
- The pathogenesis of nodular lymphocyte–predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) and its relationship to other lymphomas are largely unknown. This is partly because of the technical challenge of analyzing its rare neoplastic lymphocytic and histiocytic (L&H) cells, which are dispersed in an abundant nonneoplastic cellular microenvironment. We performed a genome-wide expression study of microdissected L&H lymphoma cells in comparison to normal and other malignant B cells that indicated a relationship of L&H cells to and/or that they originate from germinal center B cells at the transition to memory B cells. L&H cells show a surprisingly high similarity to the tumor cells of T cell–rich B cell lymphoma and classical Hodgkin lymphoma, a partial loss of their B cell phenotype, and deregulation of many apoptosis regulators and putative oncogenes. Importantly, L&H cells are characterized by constitutive nuclear factor {kappa}B activity and aberrant extracellular signal-regulated kinase signaling. Thus, these findings shed new light on the nature of L&H cells, reveal several novel pathogenetic mechanisms in NLPHL, and may help in differential diagnosis and lead to novel therapeutic strategies.
- TNFAIP3 (A20) is a tumor suppressor gene in Hodgkin lymphoma and primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma (2009)
- Proliferation and survival of Hodgkin and Reed/Sternberg (HRS) cells, the malignant cells of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), are dependent on constitutive activation of nuclear factor {kappa}B (NF-{kappa}B). NF-{kappa}B activation through various stimuli is negatively regulated by the zinc finger protein A20. To determine whether A20 contributes to the pathogenesis of cHL, we sequenced TNFAIP3, encoding A20, in HL cell lines and laser-microdissected HRS cells from cHL biopsies. We detected somatic mutations in 16 out of 36 cHLs (44%), including missense mutations in 2 out of 16 Epstein-Barr virus–positive (EBV+) cHLs and a missense mutation, nonsense mutations, and frameshift-causing insertions or deletions in 14 out of 20 EBV– cHLs. In most mutated cases, both TNFAIP3 alleles were inactivated, including frequent chromosomal deletions of TNFAIP3. Reconstitution of wild-type TNFAIP3 in A20-deficient cHL cell lines revealed a significant decrease in transcripts of selected NF-{kappa}B target genes and caused cytotoxicity. Extending the mutation analysis to primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma (PMBL), another lymphoma with constitutive NF-{kappa}B activity, revealed destructive mutations in 5 out of 14 PMBLs (36%). This report identifies TNFAIP3 (A20), a key regulator of NF-{kappa}B activity, as a novel tumor suppressor gene in cHL and PMBL. The significantly higher frequency of TNFAIP3 mutations in EBV– than EBV+ cHL suggests complementing functions of TNFAIP3 inactivation and EBV infection in cHL pathogenesis.
- A comprehensive microarray-based DNA methylation study of 367 hematological neoplasms (2009)
- Background: Alterations in the DNA methylation pattern are a hallmark of leukemias and lymphomas. However, most epigenetic studies in hematologic neoplasms (HNs) have focused either on the analysis of few candidate genes or many genes and few HN entities, and comprehensive studies are required. Methodology/Principal Findings: Here, we report for the first time a microarray-based DNA methylation study of 767 genes in 367 HNs diagnosed with 16 of the most representative B-cell (n = 203), T-cell (n = 30), and myeloid (n = 134) neoplasias, as well as 37 samples from different cell types of the hematopoietic system. Using appropriate controls of B-, T-, or myeloid cellular origin, we identified a total of 220 genes hypermethylated in at least one HN entity. In general, promoter hypermethylation was more frequent in lymphoid malignancies than in myeloid malignancies, being germinal center mature B-cell lymphomas as well as B and T precursor lymphoid neoplasias those entities with highest frequency of gene-associated DNA hypermethylation. We also observed a significant correlation between the number of hypermethylated and hypomethylated genes in several mature B-cell neoplasias, but not in precursor B- and T-cell leukemias. Most of the genes becoming hypermethylated contained promoters with high CpG content, and a significant fraction of them are targets of the polycomb repressor complex. Interestingly, T-cell prolymphocytic leukemias show low levels of DNA hypermethylation and a comparatively large number of hypomethylated genes, many of them showing an increased gene expression. Conclusions/Significance: We have characterized the DNA methylation profile of a wide range of different HNs entities. As well as identifying genes showing aberrant DNA methylation in certain HN subtypes, we also detected six genes—DBC1, DIO3, FZD9, HS3ST2, MOS, and MYOD1—that were significantly hypermethylated in B-cell, T-cell, and myeloid malignancies. These might therefore play an important role in the development of different HNs.
- Nodular lymphocyte predominant hodgkin lymphoma and T cell/histiocyte rich large B cell lymphoma--endpoints of a spectrum of one disease? (2013)
- In contrast to the commonly indolent clinical behavior of nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL), T cell/histiocyte rich large B cell lymphoma (THRLBCL) is frequently diagnosed in advanced clinical stages and has a poor prognosis. Besides the different clinical presentations of these lymphoma entities, there are variants of NLPHL with considerable histopathologic overlap compared to THRLBCL. Especially THRLBCL-like NLPHL, a diffuse form of NLPHL, often presents a histopathologic pattern similar to THRLBCL, suggesting a close relationship between both lymphoma entities. To corroborate this hypothesis, we performed gene expression profiling of microdissected tumor cells of NLPHL, THRLBCL-like NLPHL and THRLBCL. In unsupervised analyses, the lymphomas did not cluster according to their entity. Moreover, even in supervised analyses, very few consistently differentially expressed transcripts were found, and for these genes the extent of differential expression was only moderate. Hence, there are no clear and consistent differences in the gene expression of the tumor cells of NLPHL, THRLBCL-like NLPHL and THRLBCL. Based on the gene expression studies, we identified BAT3/BAG6, HIGD1A, and FAT10/UBD as immunohistochemical markers expressed in the tumor cells of all three lymphomas. Characterization of the tumor microenvironment for infiltrating T cells and histiocytes revealed significant differences in the cellular composition between typical NLPHL and THRLBCL cases. However, THRLBCL-like NLPHL presented a histopathologic pattern more related to THRLBCL than NLPHL. In conclusion, NLPHL and THRLBCL may represent a spectrum of the same disease. The different clinical behavior of these lymphomas may be strongly influenced by differences in the lymphoma microenvironment, possibly related to the immune status of the patient at the timepoint of diagnosis.
- Hodgkin-reed-sternberg cells in classical hodgkin lymphoma show alterations of genes encoding the NADPH oxidase complex and impaired reactive oxygen species synthesis capacity (2013)
- The membrane bound NADPH oxidase involved in the synthesis of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a multi-protein enzyme encoded by CYBA, CYBB, NCF1, NCF2 and NCF4 genes. Growing evidence suggests a role of ROS in the modulation of signaling pathways of non-phagocytic cells, including differentiation and proliferation of B-cell progenitors. Transcriptional downregulation of the CYBB gene has been previously reported in cell lines of the B-cell derived classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). Thus, we explored functional consequences of CYBB downregulation on the NADPH complex. Using flow cytometry to detect and quantify superoxide anion synthesis in cHL cell lines we identified recurrent loss of superoxide anion production in all stimulated cHL cell lines in contrast to stimulated non-Hodgkin lymphoma cell lines. As CYBB loss proved to exert a deleterious effect on the NADPH oxidase complex in cHL cell lines, we analyzed the CYBB locus in Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells of primary cHL biopsies by in situ hybridisation and identified recurrent deletions of the gene in 8/18 cases. Immunohistochemical analysis to 14 of these cases revealed a complete lack of detectable CYBB protein expression in all HRS cells in all cases studied. Moreover, by microarray profiling of cHL cell lines we identified additional alterations of NADPH oxidase genes including CYBA copy number loss in 3/7 cell lines and a significant downregulation of the NCF1 transcription (p=0.006) compared to normal B-cell subsets. Besides, NCF1 protein was significantly downregulated (p<0.005) in cHL compared to other lymphoma cell lines. Together this findings show recurrent alterations of the NADPH oxidase encoding genes that result in functional inactivation of the enzyme and reduced production of superoxide anion in cHL.

Rated 4.4 out of 5Â by 8 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by hippie68 stunning beautiful fit/color and style...snags easily and a few of the studs fell off the first time I wore the blouse. Truly is very beautiful 1.7.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by namaste77 sheer and cream rather than ivory I love the drape and the fabric is supple, but the color is more cream than ivory which makes wearing a white tank top too contrasting. It doesn't blend into the top as pictured and because it is so sheer, you can see the waistband of your pants, again not as subtle as the picture shows. Although the beading is plastic, I am not disappointed in the design of the embroidery/applique. Will keep if I can find a less contrasting tank/cami. 1.3.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by sandiva Lovely tunic I ordered this blouse in the ivory color after I had purchased the matching olive print corduroy pant in the store. The blouse fabric, embroidery and detailing are lovely and the blouse has great drape. However, this item's color is alot darker than pictured. It is more of a cream color than an ivory. Ivory is more of an off-white where as this item has more of a yellowy-cream tone to it. I was disappointed by the color but I am still going to keep because this blouse is truly a special piece. 12.27.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LittleAnne Love I love this top. It goes great with my blonde hair and fair skin. I bought it in the Dark Garnet color. I'm a bit curvy so I was worried about the fit. But it fits wonderful. I love this item. 12.24.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Sowilo Very Pretty, But... I was so disappointed when I got this. It is absolutely beautiful, don't get me wrong, and it fits my curvy body nicely and comfortably but....those little silver cymbals...they aren't metal, but plastic. And the beading is very poorly done. Need less to say I had a few of them fall off right after I put it on :/ which stinks because I feel I have to reinforce the whole garment myself. Over-all, aside from the beading, this really is a beautiful piece and deserves a 4/5 for me [because I absolutely love the color, the shape, the fit, mostly everything about it] If you buy this, be extra careful with it. I still think it's worth it just because of how gorgeous it looks on <3 12.21.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by deerheart odd fit for petites...beautiful color, though Found this to be too long, especially in the back. I think much of it is because i am petite, 5'4'' 105 lbs 32C. It will look fabulouse on someone tall. Also the beadwork is beautiful but feels very light, not solid enough to justify the price 12.19.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Stegosaurus One of my favorite purchases this year I bought the garnet color. It's just as pictured, very rich color and fabulous detailing. It fit perfectly in my usual size xs, 11.22.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by aria Indie Goddess is Right Put it on an you'll see what I mean! It truly makes you look amazing. I got the burgundy, which is a deep beautiful color. In terms of size for me is TTS. Expensive yes, worth it absolutely! Happy Holidays!!! 11.17.2012
