FY 2005 Budget in Brief
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
On this page:
The FY 2005 budget requests a total program level of $6.9 billion for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a net decrease of $58 million below FY 2004.� This net change includes $341 million in expansions of on-going programs such as Steps To A Healthier US and the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program; new detection initiatives for bioterrorism and naturally occurring infectious diseases; improvements in childhood immunizations; and a major reinvestment in the health statistics needed for decision-making in both government and the private sector.� The increases are partially offset by the completion of some new facilities, earmarked projects, and retargeting of funds in some areas.� The FY 2005 budget for CDC also includes $1.4 billion in mandatory immunization funding and $249 million in Public Health Service evaluation transfer funds.
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
More than 1.7 million Americans die of chronic diseases - such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes - each year, accounting for 79 percent of all U.S. deaths.� Although chronic diseases are among the most common and costly health problems, they are also among the most preventable.� The budget includes $915 million for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, a net increase of $62 million over FY 2004.
Steps To A Healthier US Initiative:� The FY 2005 Budget includes $125 million, an increase of $81 million for the Steps To A Healthier US Initiative.� Of this request $115 million, (including $71 million of the increase) will be used to expand the State and community grant program initiated this past September to reduce the prevalence of diabetes, obesity, and asthma-related complications through prevention initiatives.� Existing grantees will receive funding to carry out the plans they are preparing to implement, and new projects will be started in additional States, cities, and tribes.� The initial 12 grants reach 23 communities including seven large cities, one Tribal consortium, and four State-based grants that cover 15 smaller cities and rural areas.� These funds will help implement community-based programs targeting those at high risk for diabetes, obesity, and asthma.� Philadelphia plans to expand supervised physical activity programs aimed at students with chronic diseases at schools.� In Michigan, a consortium of American Indian Tribes will implement a program that seeks to encourage the consumption of highly nutritious traditional foods and� pass on wisdom and cultural practices about them.� New Orleans will develop neighborhood walking and bicycling plans to build a more "walkable and bikeable city.� A total of $10 million will be used to expand the Diabetes Detection Initiative, which targets at-risk populations to identify undiagnosed diabetes.� The aim of this initiative is to reach these populations where they live, work, and play through a customized, tailored approach with the aim of identifying undiagnosed diabetes.� The program design promotes the self-identification of risk status, follow up to a health provider to assess the need for a diagnostic test, and the administration of appropriate diagnostic tests, if indicated.
National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program:� CDC's National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) has helped to increase mammography use by women aged 50 and older by 20 percent since the program's inception in 1991.� NBCCEDP targets low-income women with little or no health insurance and has helped to reduce disparities in screening for women from racial and ethnic minorities.� CDC will increase support to States in order to conduct outreach and pay for additional breast and cervical cancer screens for underserved women.� The budget for NBCCEDP is $220 million for FY 2005, an increase of $10 million.� With the requested increase, CDC projects providing an additional 32,000 diagnostic and screening services to women who are hard-to-reach, have rarely, or have never been screened for these cancers.�
Youth Media Campaign:� The budget requests $5 million for the VERB It's What You Do Youth Media Campaign targeted to increase and maintain regular physical activity among tweens (youth ages 9-13) through paid media, partnerships, and community efforts.� These funds will enable CDC to maintain a library of proven media messages for distribution as public service announcements.
Environmental Health
The budget contains $184 million to maintain ongoing environmental disease prevention programs. The National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) assists State and local health agencies in developing and increasing their ability and capacity to address environmental health problems, especially asthma and childhood lead poisoning.� Additionally NCEH provides complete, timely, and accessible data on environmentally related diseases and conditions, including asthma, childhood lead poisoning and genetic diseases; improves the understanding of risk factors for, and causes of, environmentally related diseases and conditions; and develops effective prevention programs.� The CDC's state of the art environmental laboratories use modern� technology to assess human exposure to environmental chemicals, and its effects.
Health Statistics
The budget requests $150 million for Health Statistics, an increase of $22 million over FY 2004.� This investment reflects the importance of the data systems of the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) to track our progress and inform solutions on a� myriad of problems in the public and private health sector.� This increase will position the surveys of NCHS to meet new challenges.� This new investment will preserve and modernize the Nation's vital statistics system. CDC will expand contracts with States to purchase birth and death data and move forward with e-government initiatives to update the content of birth and death records.� The increase will� also provide the robust sample sizes necessary for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) to provide needed information on a wide range of conditions, diseases, and population subgroups. Additionally funds will address major emerging data gaps in the National Health Care Survey, such as long-term care and assisted living facilities.
A significant health goal of the Nation is to ensure that at least 90 percent of all two-year olds receive the full series of vaccines.� The budget request of $1.9 billion includes two streams of funding to improve immunization rates.� The mandatory Vaccines for Children (VFC) program provides free vaccine to Medicaid recipients, the uninsured, American Indians and Alaskan Natives, and children with limited health coverage that does not cover specific immunizations.� The discretionary Section 317 program provides funds for State immunization operational costs and many of the vaccines provided in public health clinics.
The budget includes three important immunization initiatives.� First, under current law, CDC will continue to build a six-month, vendor-managed stockpile of all routinely recommended childhood vaccines.� In FY 2003, CDC invested $168 million in the VFC program to begin building these stockpiles of varicella, Hepatitis A and B, pneumococcal conjugate (PCV), and (Hib) vaccines.� Between FY 2004 and FY 2006, CDC plans to invest an additional $583 million to meet the target quantities for a six-month stockpile.� The stockpile serves dual purposes. Vaccines from the stockpile can be distributed in the event of a disease outbreak.� The stockpile will also mitigate the effect of any supply disruptions that might occur on the manufacturing side.� Second, with $40 million in each of fiscal years 2004 and 2005, CDC will, for the first time, create a stockpile of children's influenza vaccine under the VFC program.� The flu season of 2003-2004 was a reminder of the need for rapid access to vaccines.� This stockpile would provide a vendor-managed supply of between 4 to 6 million doses of vaccine, enough to provide the high-risk population of children aged 6–23 months with the two doses each would need.� The flu vaccine stockpile could also be made available for older children as needed.�
Finally, in FY 2005 legislation will be proposed to improve access to VFC vaccines for children already entitled to them, through two changes.� First, the proposed legislation will expand the number of access points for children whose private insurance does not cover immunizations by allowing them to receive their VFC vaccines at State and local public health clinics.� Currently, these children must go to specially designated Federally Qualified Health Centers to receive VFC vaccines – even if they visit a different public health clinic for all of their other medical needs.� The second change proposed in this VFC legislation will restore tetanus and diphtheria vaccines to the VFC program.� The VFC statute, as enacted in 1993, caps prices for the three vaccines that were in use prior to enactment of the legislation.� The price caps are so low, however, that the tetanus booster vaccine was removed from the VFC program in 1998 when no vendor would bid on the contract.� With these legislative changes, an additional $165 million will be added annually to the VFC budget to cover the additional vaccines that will be provided under this program.� These changes will reduce by $110 million the demand for Vaccines financed through the Discretionary 317 Immunization Program.
The immunization budget will continue to provide $151 million for global immunization activities, including polio eradication.� While tremendous progress has been made with the number of polio-endemic countries declining from 120 in 1988 to seven in 2003, a major international effort continues to strive for the goal set by the World Health Organization: global polio eradication by 2005.�
HIV/AIDS, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and Tuberculosis:� HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and tuberculosis (TB) are among the most prevalent, costly and preventable infectious diseases in the United States.� The request for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention budget activity is $1,143 million.
Global AIDS Program (GAP):� Through the Global AIDS Program (GAP), CDC works in partnership with USAID, HRSA, the Department of State and other federal agencies, and multilateral and bilateral partners to ameliorate the devastation caused by HIV/AIDS.� The budget requests a total of $143 million in CDC for on-going prevention care, treatment, surveillance, and capacity-building programs in 25 countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
The expertise and infrastructure established in GAP are being utilized to support the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) announced in the State of the Union address in January 2003.� The Emergency Plan, authorized by Congress, incorporates the President's International Mother to Child HIV Prevention Initiative.� Fourteen of the Global AIDS Program� countries are part of the President's International Mother to Child HIV Prevention Initiative, jointly implemented with USAID and other Federal Agencies.� For greater government-wide integration under the direction of the Global AIDS Coordinator, the FY 2005 President's Budget will present Mother to Child Prevention Initiative Activities in the Department of State.� Although there has been a shift in the placement of funding, CDC will continue to be a major implementing agency for this vital initiative.
Domestic HIV/AIDS Prevention:� The budget requests a total of $790 million for CDC's Domestic HIV/AIDS Prevention and Research activities, of which $696 million is in the National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP) and $94 million is in the National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID) and the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP).� CDC's HIV prevention activities over the past two decades have focused on helping uninfected persons at high risk for HIV change and maintain behaviors to keep them uninfected.� Despite these efforts, the number of new HIV infections is estimated to have remained stable, and the number of people living with HIV continues to increase.� Therefore, the CDC has launched a new prevention initiative, Advancing HIV Prevention: New Strategies for a Changing Epidemic (AHP).� AHP is aimed at reducing barriers to the early diagnosis of HIV infection, and if positive, increasing access to quality medical care, treatment, and ongoing prevention services.� AHP emphasizes the use of proven public health approaches to reduce the incidence and spread of diseases, as well as capitalizing on new rapid test technologies, interventions that bring persons unaware of their HIV status to HIV testing, and behavioral interventions that provide prevention skills to people living with HIV.� This new intervention will help CDC and its partners to target funds more efficiently and directly to those people greatest in need.
Epidemic Services and Response/Infectious Diseases
Although modern advances have conquered some diseases, the outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and West Nile Virus are recent reminders of the extraordinary ability of microbes to adapt and evolve.� In response to these events, CDC has developed a new Global Disease Detection Initiative within its Epidemic Services and Response and Infectious Disease Control Programs.�� The overall FY 2005 budget request for Epidemic Services and Response includes $92 million to coordinate public health surveillance at CDC and provide support to the "disease detectives" that determine the cause of outbreaks and develop the countermeasures that stem the spread of illness.� The Infectious Disease Control request is $401 million, an increase of $31 million over FY 2004.� The increases in Infectious Disease Control target $2 million for State and local health departments for surveillance, response, and research for West Nile Virus activities.� An additional $27 million increase is for the new global disease detection initiative in coordination with existing programs in Epidemic Services and Response.� This new initiative's total funding for FY 2005 is $51 million and it will implement a comprehensive system of surveillance by expanding CDC programs in five countries (Kenya, China, Brazil, Kazakhstan, and Thailand) and creating new sites in six countries (Uganda, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, and Guatemala).� Additionally, the Global Disease Detection Initiative will improve early warning systems, research new viral strains, and aid in collaborations with multinational organizations.� The goals of this initiative are to recognize infectious disease outbreaks faster, improve the ability to control and prevent outbreaks, and to detect emerging microbial threats.
The President's Budget includes $1.1 billion for bioterrorism preparedness, the same level as FY 2004.� Within this amount, funds will be redirected to carry out a new interagency biosurveillance initiative to prepare against a potential bioterrorist attack.� CDC, in coordination with FDA, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Agriculture, will be working to improve the response to bioterrorism through early detection.� CDC's budget includes $130 million in FY 2005 for its role in this initiative, the largest component of which is an investment of $100 million in its human health surveillance project, "BioSense"� BioSense is an advanced approach to infectious disease surveillance that, unlike traditional approaches, does not rely upon mandatory or voluntary case reports from healthcare providers to public health officials, but uses automated analysis techniques on electronically available health data to highlight a potential public health problem.� This will be integrated into a unified system.In addition to developing better surveillance capacity, CDC will invest an additional $20 million to improve laboratory reporting capacity and to advance integration between public health and commercial laboratories.� The remaining $10 million will increase the number of border health and quarantine stations from 8 to up to 25.
CDC's commitment to State and local preparedness remains strong; between FY 2002 and FY 2004, CDC invested a total of $2.9 billion in this activity.� This year, CDC has budgeted another $829 million.� In FY 2005, HHS will be re-targeting preparedness resources, making modest reductions in awards to States, and concentrating efforts in more directed investments that will benefit States and communities as well as the Nation as a whole.� A specific example is the biosurveillance initiative.� CDC will be entering into contracts directly with health departments and health systems to build a more complete network of health information, which will assist in earlier threat detection.� It will provide public health officials with a sense for the health status of their community and support them in providing early and effective public health response.
Investments in States have markedly improved capacity: the Laboratory Response Network (LRN) now consists of 109 reference laboratories distributed throughout all 50 States.� There are also 59 Biosafety level 3 (BSL-3) laboratories located in 50 States -- nearly three times the number reported in 1999.� Fifty members (46 percent) of the LRN are now able to rule out the existence of smallpox, and 24 (22 percent) laboratories can test for the existence of the smallpox virus on a real-time basis.
In addition to assistance to States and communities, CDC will invest $150 million to continue to upgrade its internal capacities by improving epidemiological expertise in the identification and control of diseases caused by terrorism, including better electronic communication, distance learning programs, and cooperative training between public health agencies and local hospitals.� Investments in CDC's Health Alert Network now mean that 89 percent of all health departments across the country receive instant electronic messages about emerging health threats and public health emergencies.� Additionally, in 2002 and 2003, CDC produced and delivered 35 smallpox education and training programs.� CDC currently estimates reaching approximately 1.3 million health professionals through a multimedia approach to smallpox training. CDC will continue to fund the 22 university-based Centers for Public Health Preparedness (CPHP) to ensure that frontline public health workers have the competencies to respond to emerging health threats.
Working in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), CDC implemented the notification of possession of select agents and published an interim final rule in the Federal Register on December 13, 2002 for facilities that possess, use, or transfer agents or toxins deemed a threat to public health and to animal or plant products.� CDC has a goal to inspect 300 laboratories in accordance with the rule in 2004.
Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant
Since 1981 the Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant has provided its 61 grantees� (States, Tribes, and territories) with funds to tailor prevention and health promotion programs to address their particular needs.� The budget for FY 2005 is $133 million.� States use these funds to carry out a variety of activities including: helping rural health departments to eliminate food and water contamination, supporting childhood lead poisoning testing, and providing statewide public health education.�
Injury Prevention and Control
Injuries are the primary killer of children and young adults in the United States.� Injury is a fundamental threat to human health and life, and CDC employs the same scientific methods that� prevent infectious diseases to prevent injuries - defining the health problem, identifying the risk and protective factors, and developing and testing prevention strategies.� The budget for FY 2005 includes $154 million to support programs focused on residential fire deaths, intimate partner violence, non-fatal fall traumatic brain injury, child abuse and neglect, rape prevention and education, and other injury prevention and control initiatives.
Birth Defects, Developmental Disabilities, Disabilities and Health
Birth defects are the leading cause of infant mortality in the United States.� Additionally, the direct and indirect costs associated with disabilities in the United States exceeds $300 billion annually.� CDC's National Center for Birth Defects, and Developmental Disabilities works to identify the cause of birth defects and developmental disabilities, to help children develop and reach their full potential, and to promote the health and well-being among people of all ages with disabilities.� The budget for� FY 2005 includes $113 million for these activities.� This funding will be used for many disability programs including those related to Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Autism, Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy, Disability and Health, monitoring development disabilities, limb loss, and spina bifida.
Public Health Improvement
The budget for FY 2005 requests a total of $113 million. The $59 million reduction from FY 2004 reflects one-time Congressional projects that are not being continued in 2005 and funding for research activities at $16 million.� Funding is maintained for REACH 2010 (Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health) which is intended to help racial and ethnic minority communities mobilize and organize their resources to support effective and sustainable programs that will contribute to the elimination of health disparities.� The National Electronic Disease Surveillance System (NEDSS) is also included in the Public Health Improvement Line.�
Occupational Safety and Health
The estimated annual cost of occupational injuries in the United States is more than $240 billion.� The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is the primary federal entity responsible for conducting research and making recommendations for the prevention of work-related illness and injury.� NIOSH translates knowledge gained from research into products and services that benefit workers safety and health in settings from corporate offices to construction sites and coal mines.� The budget for FY 2005 includes $279 million for NIOSH activities including work on the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA); and personal protective technology and respirator research for the nation's 50 million miners, firefighters, emergency responders, and health care, agricultural, and industrial workers. In addition to its ongoing activities, NIOSH assists in the implementation of the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Act of 2000; funds for this activity are provided by the Department of Labor.
Office of the Director
The budget for the Office of the Director (OD) for FY 2005 is $60 million.� This includes funds for the Public Health Information Network (PHIN), which will build upon and integrate existing public health communication systems and will create public health data standards necessary for interoperability between the health care sector and local, State, and federal public health authorities.� CDC and the Office of the Director will also continue to coordinate management attention to achieving results in accordance with the President's Management Agenda.
Modern and Secure Laboratories and Facilities
CDC is continuing its work to modernize its physical
infrastructure.� In� 2003 CDC completed the critical Environmental
Health Laboratory and the Parasitology Laboratory.� Between 2002
and 2003, CDC is completing more than 1.6 million square feet of
laboratory and other facility space.� The Environmental Health
Laboratory completed in FY 2003 specializes in biomonitoring; this
new laboratory enabled staff to develop a rapid toxic scree n to
quickly analyze up to 150 chemicals likely to be used by
terrorists.� In 2005, CDC will complete an Infectious Disease
Laboratory, the Scientific Communications Center, the Headquarters
and Emergency Operations Center, and the Environmental Toxicology
Laboratory.� The request for Buildings and Facilities in FY 2005
includes $81.5 million to complete the Fort Collins, Colorado Bio
Safety Level 3 Laboratory; to continue work on the East Campus
Laboratory Consolidation Project; and to provide for nation-wide
maintenance, repairs, and improvements.
ATSDR is managed as part of CDC and is the lead agency responsible for public health activities related to Superfund sites.� ATSDR develops profiles of the health effects of hazardous substances, assesses health hazards at specific Superfund sites, and provides consultations to prevent or reduce exposure and related illnesses. ATSDR also maintains the World Trade Center Exposure Registry to track the health effects of 100,000 to 200,000 individuals who may have been impacted by exposure to substances at the World Trade Center site.� The President's Budget for FY 2005 for ATSDR is $77 million, a $4 million increase over FY 2004.� Increases in the budget will be directed to ATSDR's work with EPA and other federal, State, and local environmental public health agencies to evaluate sites that received vermiculite from Libby, Montana, to identify past and present exposure pathways and to determine whether a public health hazard, has existed or continues to exist.� Increases will also fund the maintenance costs of the World Trade Center Exposure Registry.� A recent PART review determined that ATSDR had strong program design and management practices.� The PART review suggested some improvements that ATSDR has undertaken.� ATSDR is reviewing and clarifying its long term goals and measures to directly capture the impact of the agency on mitigating disease.� CDC has eliminated administrative and management redundancies between ATSDR and CDC's National Center for Environmental Health.

Comments about Dorman - Champ 15 Quart Plastic Drain Pan:
Returned because the cap on the drain spout doesn't seal. Too loose and it drips. Tighten it too much to seal the drip and the cap will pop off the threads. The designers of this product created a sadistic game where you have to find just the right amount of tightness without popping the cap loose and spilling oil everywhere. I'm just thankful I got my waste oil to the disposal facility without it spilling or leaking all over the inside my vehicle. Took it back the next day for refund.

Comments about Dorman - Champ 15 Quart Plastic Drain Pan:
This drain pan is an incredible none functioning peice of junk. Advance Auto should be asshamed to offer it for sale. I bought it because of its capacity and the potential to store oil for recycling. The drain pan is too shallow and will allow oil to overflow. Worst of all the drain neck and cap leak. The cap can not make a positive seal and is located opposite of the carying handle. Pick this up while it has oil in it and there is amess all over your gagage. I tried to return it, but the Advance Auto store would not take it back. It went into the trash after its first use.

Comments about Dorman - Champ 15 Quart Plastic Drain Pan:
This is a terrible product that shouldn't sell for more than $2. It's a total waste of money as the product is cheap and breaks easily. I've used it once and the oil almost overfilled, the vent cable broke so I'll likely lose the cap soon and the cap for the pour valve leaks terribly.

Recap of our Lunchtime LEVinars
By Josefina Hellensberg
A few days after the regular legislative session wrapped up, the special session kicked into full force on April 29. Now we watch as the debate continues in this (and perhaps a second) special session and the budget is finalized.
The League of Education Voters (LEV) hosted a series of Lunchtime LEVinars to keep voters updated on the proposed budgets from the House of Representatives and the Senate, and the effects that they have on education in our state. Although each budget proposal have differences in how they fund education, they both make huge investments in our public education system, and regardless of how the final budget comes together, the outcome will be promising for students throughout Washington state.
In our webinar series, we heard from Senator Andy Hill and Representative Ross Hunter, lead budget writers for the Senate and House budgets, respectively. Senator Hill and Representative Hunter each discussed their respective budget proposals and answered audience questions. The series wrapped up with a presentation from LEV's own Government Relations Director Frank Ordway on the strengths of each proposal, along with areas that LEV hopes will be better funded in the budget by the time negotiations are finalized.
Frank says that the investments in both proposals are similar and direct considerable funding toward early learning, K–12 funding, fulfilling McCleary requirements, and higher education. The House budget has presented a proposal that funds early learning more robustly than the Senate's proposal, with $227 million compared to the proposed $100 million in the Senate's budget. With respect to K–12 investments, the Senate has worked hard to ensure that more of those dollars go toward increased services for students, something that we do not see as clearly in the House budget.
Another big difference in the two proposals is the investments in higher education. Two years ago, we saw a tuition freeze in our state, and this session the Senate has proposed a tuition decrease, which would be the first tuition reduction in Washington since the 1970s. The House budget continues the tuition freeze.
Both budget proposals include investments and prioritizations that we agree with, but we are watching closely as the Legislatures grapples with levy reform, which will be a central part of the debate as we get closer to a final deal.

Laptop randomly shuts down, possibly virus, power supply and more...
Thanks for your interest.
Ok, firstly,
..from that picture, it might have resulted from me have going on naughty naughty sites , ignoring McAfee site advisor, or me accidently clicking on an app in an un-legit version of Counter Strike Source, called 'Bot中英文語音轉換器'. I don't understand the Chinese. Came up with 'In English speech converter' in Google Translator. When I clicked on it, command prompt appeared and I think it automatically did something. The word 'Bot' seems suss. Can a virus be activate via the command prompt?
From that, could it lead to the hardware? I've been experiencing random shutdowns. Also this happened in the past days.
Before these bluescreens appeared, McAfee Internet Security Suite was alerting that my computer is a risk. But now, for the past few days, multiple scans and they're all clean.
Regarding power supply, could there been NOT enough power supply with my laptop's hardware? Which might possibly be one of the causes to my BSoD?;
BSoD when using Traktor DJ software when an external Traktor soundcard is plugged in
My laptop (Acer Aspire V3-571G running Intel Core i5-2450M ~3.1GHz, 8GB ram, 2GB nVidia GT640M graphics, Windows OS, 64-bit OS) is just a few weeks, old, with 1 year warranty. Bringing it to the store which I bought it from for some testing.
Also have been getting these kinda screens a few times:
Would restoring the OS help at all?
I have been researching about the computer shutting down problem, such as this:

Laptop power supply query
Yesterday my laptop's power supply blew :cry: I sent it in for repairs and was told that it would take 10-30 working days!! Yikes! Big question: can I use my wife's power supply in the meantime? My one had an output of 19V 4,72A 90W while hers has an output of 18,5V 3,5A 65W. Is this do-able?

Neo Style by k.nitsua....early front runner for THEME OF THE YEAR
Now in a dead heat with liveOS c/o bluemetal....
Let us all welcome the newest fighter to the TOTY ring...iNavHD c/o reeco
The exclusivity for AT&T is done, but wasn't there a rumor that Verizon was trying to keep the iPhone on AT&T and Verizon only? Haven't seen this rumor discredited yet, and there's been no mention of the iPhone going to T-Mobile (GSM) or Sprint(CDMA). Sure, it will eventually, but why not now since the iPhone is compatible with both networks?The exclusive is out the window. It's all fair game.
This story doesn't surprise me for few reasons the next gen iPhone is right around the corner. 2 alot off people are locked in Att contract and it's expiensive to buy out the contract especially if you have more than 1 line needing to switch. 3 I don't think IPhone well ever be as possible as it is on Att. Because verizon reps have learned to lead with sailing the android phones first. Thats what they are good at selling at thats what they will stick too. I think very few sales will come from existing verizon customers. I think most will cone from Att/ tmobile customers wanting to switch to verizon because they maybe a better carrier in there area.
The iPhone has been compatible with TMO since day one! When it went to 3G, all the radio needed was one more band! Very easy for them to tool in!
For them to make a huge change for Verizon, that would be more of a cost!
I'm still hopeful for a IP5 release for TMO! And honestly, I hope SPRINT NEVER GETS THE APPLE PRODUCT! lol
Again, we all see things that, to us, make no sense what's so ever! And to me these are all sort of like
No duh!
In regards to the sales figures being low, and why. What were they thinking? They should have aloes it up, and released with IP5 then numbers would be different!
I just saw, ATT has dropped iph3gs 8 gig to 49.99. How many people does this piss off! And make happy! Lol
Sent from my iPhone using ModMyi
New unibody Macbook Pro, the jacked Model.. Iphone 2G, and 3G, 3G's, And 4G.
These numbers are the average number of iphones sold during opening week/weekend of the 5 stores(average number sold PER store not for all 5 stores selected) during this month when the ip4 was released on Verizon compared to what AT&T sold at those same stores last year when the ip4 was released(back when it was still on AT&T only).
I doubt TMO will EVER see an Iphone @ this point in the Game cause once the Phone goes 2 ANY carrier it seems too push all other phones outta view.
It is Not by our Hands that things Change, BUT rather our Interventions that change ourselves.
Chris iPhone6 16GB(Jailbroken
iPad Mini 16GB, Apple TV 3rd Gen)
Mac Mini (2012 Model) Running Yosemite
Cydia Account #895872
Two things:
1) The demand was inflated by media.
2) The release date chosen was retarded!
Had they waited until June and released iP5 on Vz & AT&T, we would see a very different picture. Also, the lines probably weren't there because people came in throughout the day, rather than flooding it at open like we do for AT&T.

It's not where you've been, or where you're going..
It's where you are.
Reflect on the past, plan for the future, mod for today.
As was previously stated "That's a lot of iPhone 4's" I think Apple and Verizon expected a little to much, considering it's an old phone now...just a different network. Once contracts run out, people will buy more.
people are waiting for Iphone 5
I have to agree. The numbers are interesting, but useless.
I have more than one friend that wants a Verizon iPhone, but wont go until thier current carrier contract is up. ETF's can be expensive, and not everyone has that $$ to throw away. I have one or two friends on Verizon, that are not due for phone upgrades, but when they are, will switch to iPhone. And my sister WAS going to switch her available upgrade to an iPhone, but I told her to wait for the iP5! LOL
And I'd be willing to bet there are many, many more that these circumstances apply to.
When iPhone came out, it really was the ONLY touch screen phone on the market, so people sucked it up and switched. These days, they can get by with the Driod X or whatever they have until the upgrade is due.
Give it time, it will be Verizon's top selling phone too.
First of all in case no one else has clearly described..... the numbers listed are for the first five days Verizon had the iPhone 4 for sale vs. the SAME days of the SAME week that AT&T was selling it. In THAT case the numbers at Verizon are HORRIBLE! You have to consider how many people on AT&T already have the iPhone 4 (some data suggest up to 50% or more of the 93 million subscribers) vs. how FEW people on Verizon (just over 1% of the 95 million subscribers) have it. To have sales figures anywhere near the same on each network is VERY BAd news for Verizon..... and Apple for that matter.
Now I think this is a combination of MANY factors. A combination of:
-How close it is to the next iPhone release,
-Many rumors floating around of the white iPhone coming out soon
-The fact that you can't surf net and talk at same time on Verizon network
-The fact that AT&T's 3G network is twice as fast as Verizon's
-People in the middle of contracts that aren't willing to pay to get out..... at least not until the next iPhone is announced.
-And finally the fact that a lot of people on Verizon, having been left out of the first 4 versions of the iPhone, have already fallen in love with their various Droid based devices and are taking an almost anti-iPhone stance because of this. This is exactly how my good buddy is being.
Just my two cents.
I think eventually and overall the numbers will get much better (once AT&T contracts are up for some, once the new iPhone 5 is released, etc..) I personally have no issue staying with AT&T and frankly do not plan on waiting over a year to move to a network that is slower and more restricted.
If AT&T is smart, when the iPhone 5 comes out, they will allow current AT&T iPhone 4 owners to upgrade for the discounted price by signing a new two year contract :-)
The assessment is based on sales totals gleaned from five Apple stores:
Sales posted are from these 5 Apple stores.
Sales were less than 550,000 pre-orders for Verizon.
Apple sold 600,000 IPhone 4's. According to Apples press release, It was the largest number of pre-orders Apple has ever taken in a single day"
Just AT&T.
The information was pulled from here:
Verizon iPhone didn't meet initial sales expectations? | TiPb
Just think, if the average is true to non-hype periods... 600 VeriPhones, AND ATiPhones... A DAY! 1200 phones between 8am and 9pm...
That's almost 93 iPhones an hour, in each Apple Store! No way is Droid selling that much, these numbers don't even include Verizon, or AT&T corporate stores. Plus, it's slow because of all the people waiting on iPhone 5, and contracts.
26,000 iPhones/month/store.
312,000 iPhones per year, not including new release rushes.
1,560,000 in just those 5 stores.
Sent from my iPhone using ModMyi
It's not where you've been, or where you're going..
It's where you are.
Reflect on the past, plan for the future, mod for today.
I might believe that 93 droids are sold per day/store, but 93 an hour would require craploads of people in each store doing nothing but Droid activations. Now factor in all the different models, and you'd need all of them to be experts on 6 different smartphones.
I understand that Apple stores draw a significantly larger sales area (area around a location, which customers are willing to drive from) and that boosts numbers. So let's make it fair...
300 phones/day
About 23/hour
2.6 min/phone
I have been to stores with (in MAJOR markets) only three people in the store, others with 5-7.
In my experience, buying a new phone takes about 45min, start to finish. That's if there's no line, like the 7 hour wait in i4 release day.
So... To cover 23/hour, at 45 min... You would need about 15 people in store to do those sales/activations. Not counting the ones doing other jobs.
Yes, I'm ballparking... I would conduct a study, but I don't have time, lol.

Since the release of the Fab Five by ESPN on Selection Sunday, the rivalry between Duke and Michigan has gotten a little hotter.
At issue are the comments by Jalen Rose and Jimmy King, who were critical of Duke with Rose, the film's executive producer, going so far to say the Blue Devils recruited only black players he considered to be "Uncle Toms."
Former Duke point guard Bobby Hurley had his say with the Dan Patrick radio show. Grant Hill has also responded with a column submitted to the New York Times.
Here are some excerpts:
It was a sad and somewhat pathetic turn of events, therefore, to see friends narrating this interesting documentary about their moment in time and calling me a bitch and worse, calling all black players at Duke "Uncle Toms" and, to some degree, disparaging my parents for their education, work ethic and commitment to each other and to me. I should have guessed there was something regrettable in the documentary when I received a Twitter apology from Jalen before its premiere. I am aware Jalen has gone to some length to explain his remarks about my family in numerous interviews, so I believe he has some admiration for them.
Hill later added more about the racial issues brought up by Rose and King.
To hint that those who grew up in a household with a mother and father are somehow less black than those who did not is beyond ridiculous. All of us are extremely proud of the current Duke team, especially Nolan Smith. He was raised by his mother, plays in memory of his late father and carries himself with the pride and confidence that they instilled in him.
The sacrifice, the effort, the education and the friendships I experienced in my four years are cherished. The many Duke graduates I have met around the world are also my "family," and they are a special group of people. A good education is a privilege.
He ended the piece with this dig at his Michigan rivals.
I am proud of my family. I am proud of my Duke championships and all my Duke teammates. And, I am proud I never lost a game against the Fab Five.
Here's video of Rose saying he was "jealous" of Hill's middle-class upbringing:

- "Skipper Dan", amid the theater and Disney references, is the completely miserable tale of a man forced to give up his dream of being a great actor just to make ends meet. And each line is more depressing than the next, especially the way he near-tearfully says "What have I done with my life?" on the bridge,
- Not only is the tune for "You Don't Love Me Anymore" genuinely sad, but it's about his girlfriend's attempts to murder him. The lyrics are intended to be humorous, but occasional lyrics like "you're still the light of life" and "my scars are all healing but my heart never will" implying the singer still loves the subject of the song might still bring tears to one's eyes. That is, if you ignore the 10 seconds of noise that comes later.
- The way the synthesized strings swell at the end, after he's been left for dead in a drainage ditch, sounds as if he's ascending to heaven as he still pines for this woman who despises him.
- "One More Minute" is a song about a man describing all kinds of painful things he'd rather do than spend one more minute with his ex, who is now seeing someone else; it's obvious, though, that all the painful things he's describing are how he feels seeing her with someone else and the only thing in the world he wants is to have just one more minute with her.
I'd rather tear out my intestines with a fork than watch you going out with other men...
- The Darker and Edgier version of "The Night Santa Went Crazy" ends with Santa's brains blown out on the pavement - considerably darker than Al's usual fare, and especially hard-hitting for anyone who heard the version where Santa goes to prison.
- YMMV of course, but the Reality Subtext of the general disappointment of The Phantom Menace and the specific way it ruined Jake Lloyd's acting career, coupled with the elegiac tone of the song it parodies has given "The Saga Begins" a mournful quality. Just try listening to the last chorus while reading about how Lloyd eventually destroyed all his Star Wars memorabilia... (it's unknown if he actually he did destroy his memorabilia, but it has been confirmed that he does not hate Star Wars after all that)
- The song itself is surprisingly poignant for a parody, especially if you're a Star Wars fan. Could be a reason why the liner notes refer to it as a "lyrical adaptation of 'American Pie'" instead of a parody.
- Don Pardo's tongue-lashing on the bridge of "I Lost On Jeopardy" can be a real spirit-breaker, especially since he says all of the following in his cheery announcer voice.
Don Pardo: That's right, Al. You lost! And let me tell you what you didn't win! A 20 Volume set of the Encyclopedia Internationals, A case of Turtle wax, And a year's supply of Rice-A-Roni, The San Francisco Treat. But that's not all! You also made yourself look like a jerk in front of Millions of people, and you brought shame and disgrace for your family name for generations to come! You don't get to come back tomorrow. You don't even get a lousy copy of our home game! You're a complete loser!
- The video is similarly a bit of a downer.
- The video for "TMZ," in which a famous woman being haunted no matter where she goes by a humorous picture of her own rear, which in itself is funny. Like the song itself, the video is a pretty bitter criticism against paparazzi journalism, and near the end of the video, the starlet in question gets this strange, dead look in her eyes as she just stands still and lets everyone photograph her, looking like she is more or less accepting her fate. Thankfully, The Dog Bites Back at the end.
- While it's intended as Black Comedy, anyone who visits a barely responsive friend or family member in the hospital might have a hard time listening to "Mr. Frump in the Iron Lung," particularly the end where Mr. Frump dies.
- Hearing Al talk about the 2004 death of his parents — yep, both of them, at the same time, due to carbon monoxide poisoning — is especially heart-wrenching, especially when he called the experience "the worst thing that's ever happened to me" in an interview years later. He went on to say that while common sense dictated that he would eventually have had to go through losing his parents, he didn't expect it to be as sudden and as swift as it ultimately was.
Tear Jerker / "Weird Al" Yankovic
Yes, even this comedy musician is not immune to creating songs that can (unintentionally) move one to tears — even if they were intended to be humorous.

Netflix is coming. Despite the media white noise, the launch of a rival in the form of streamcaster Stan and a playing field of established competitors such as Quickflix and Presto this is the game-changing moment we've all been waiting for.
The US-based subscription video on-demand (SVOD) service has announced its intentions to launch in Australia and New Zealand in March next year.
Of course, like most game-changing moments, there is little to actually see. And even less to interpret, save for shadows and whispers.
Moreover it is still unclear how Netflix plans to migrate its established "grey market" customer base, who access the US service from Australia via virtual private networks (VPNs), to its leaner, local cousin.
Whatever happens, the line in the sand has been drawn. The first quarter of 2015 will usher in two new major competitors in Australia's historically noncompetitive TV space, notwithstanding the dreary and over-reported war of attrition between Seven and Nine.
First, there is a sense that the arrival of "streaming" broadcasters in the TV space, such as Netflix and Stan, will upset the television applecart, luring eyeballs away from traditional free-to-air and pay TV.
But it is, at least in the short-term, pay TV which is facing the greater threat of the two incumbents, particularly when the low price point of streamcasters - in the US around the $10 per month mark, and expected to be in a similar range here - is factored in.
These are, after all, transactional services which are hoping to score $10 from their customers' purses and wallets. Free-to-air television, while older and saddled with ads, has always enjoyed the competitive edge of costing its customers nothing.
Moreover, despite the tendency in Australia to bemoan the state of free-to-air television, Australians have historically been well serviced by it, airing many shows which US audiences had to pay for, such as The Sopranos, Sex and the City, Oz, Breaking Bad and Mad Men.
Foxtel's hefty price point is already sliding down to a more competitive level, and its Presto offering, initially too costly with too lean a library, will be fattened up in the coming months; it has already been re-priced to the $10 mark.
While all of the streaming players are securing content from Hollywood's key film and television libraries, the initial measuring stick for analysts will be original, or first-run, content.
Netflix's launch announcement includes the promise of Marco Polo, which stars Australian actor Remy Hii, BoJack Horseman, starring Will Arnett and Amy Sedaris, the Madagascar spin-off All Hail King Julien and the Lily Tomlin/Jane Fonda vehicle Grace and Frankie.
Rival Stan, a joint venture between the Nine Network and Fairfax, is focusing on acquired content, notably the critically acclaimed US drama series Transparent and the highly-anticipated Breaking Bad prequel Better Call Saul. It has already confirmed output deals with Sony and MGM.
Measuring media noise on the programs themselves, Stan's offering is the louder of the two. But how the programming cake will be carved up between the players is largely still to be determined, and some on the sidelines, such as Seven and Ten, are yet to declare clearly how they will enter the game.
At the broadcasters upfront events this year - essentially lavish pitches to the advertising industry for future revenue - the issue was raised. Both Foxtel and Seven notably assured their clients they had a strategy in place to counter the threat.
Australia is, to some extent, coming to the game late. In the US, the three major video on demand services - Netflix, Amazon and the Comcast/Fox/Disney-owned Hulu - are now dominant players. And Netflix has already opened outposts in the UK and across Europe.
Moreover, they are expected to sink $US6.8 billion ($7.8 billion) into content next year. They will be, declared the trade newspaper Variety, "a godsend to Hollywood's major studios." But they will also begin to shave off key content from traditional broadcasters.
Better Call Saul, which would have gone to free-to-air or pay TV in Australia, will go to Stan. And the third season of House of Cards, Netflix's critically exalted flagship drama, will be now be held back from Foxtel so it can premiere on Netflix's Australian service.
The net effect is that traditional players, though not competing for dollars out of the purse of their audience in the same way, will have to deal with an aggressive play for exclusive access to US studio content, and the best local program ideas.
"The truth is technology is both our greatest challenge and equally it is our greatest opportunity," MCN's chief executive Anthony Fitzgerald told media and advertisers earlier this month. "I've long been a believer in the philosophy that in the digital age you must identify the business model that can kill your business and evolve into that particular business."
Six Big Netflix Shows for Australia in 2015
Bloodline: A thriller investigating "the demons that lurk beneath the surface of a contemporary family". Stars Australian Ben Mendelsohn.
Daredevil: Superhero action series based on the Marvel comic character, starring Charlie Cox with Vincent D'Onofrio and Deborah Ann Woll.
Grace and Frankie: Comedy starring Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda about two women forced to cooperate when they learn their husbands are planning to run off together.
Sense8: Science fiction drama co-written and co-written by the teams behind The Matrix and Babylon 5.

Diffusor reference
I remember seeing a very good reference on various types of diffusors, with tables and correlations for all kinds of annular diffusors.
Now that I need it I can't find it anymore and I don't remember who wrote it or who published it.
Any hints on a good standard reference on annular diffusors?
Re: Diffusor reference
ESDU publish vast amounts of this type of information:
However, the only company I know who actually designed an annular diffuser using such data sheets got into trouble because they did not understand the fluid mechanics of diffusers. They looked up a diffusion angle for their flow conditions and built their diffuser. Unfortunately, they had to add a bend or two to make it fit and added a strut or two to take load...
CFD has many failings but this type of thing is something it is good at subject to: (a) using sufficient grid resolution (coarse grid => excess diffusion => diffuser hangs on too long) and (b) being careful/sensible with RANS turbulence models which nearly all tend to separate a bit late when you push the diffusion angle.
Re: Diffusor reference
Might want to also try http://naca.larc.nasa.gov/reports/1949/naca-rm-l9b28/ This is an oldie with limited scope, but a goodie nonetheless. I have found it extremely difficult to find good references on this subject. Looking forward to see if anybody else responds.
Re: Diffusor reference
Japikse has written a large review on diffusor design. You can buy it from Concepts' web page. Here is a link to it:
As a side note to the comments made by andy and BeachComber. I think that both of you are refering to inter-turbine or inter-compressor ducts. You might want to know that there is a large proposed new EU framework 6 project devoted to this subject. The project is called AIDA (Aggressive Intermediate Duct Aerodynamics) and involves most of Europe's turbomachinery industry. AIDA hasn't been approved yet but if it is approved AIDA will provide a lot of new experimental data on this type of annular duct flows.
Re: Diffusor reference
Interesting comments regarding AIDA: looking forward to see if this becomes funded project.
Regarding NACA reference: This is a general axial test facility with basically fan rotor (to set up swirl conditions) discharging into annular diffuser. Area increase is due to shrinking inner wall down close to zero (with respect to inlet dimensions) while holding outer wall diameter constant. Flow then goes directly to exhauster.
Regarding diffuser design book mentioned: a word of caution. For annular diffusers, there is one section devoted to the subject. We were able to extract limited useful information, and feel that it contains basic errors. One of Japikse's subsequent papers that I believe was presented a few years ago in Cleveland at NASA's Thermal and Fluid's Analysis Workshop contains attempts to correlate annular diffuser data would suggest this as better reference, but it also seems to contain basic errors as well as what I would describe as very creative interpolation of data with large scatter.
Like I said prior, it is difficult to find good, inclusive references on this subject. Definitely hoping this EU AIDA project will advance.
Klein's paper
Klein, Progress in Aerospace science, 1996??/
Re: Diffusor reference
Yes, you can download also this paper from concepts' web-site. It is entitled "Correlation of Annular Diffuser Performance with Geometry, Swirl, and Blockage". You can find it in the list on this page:
You have to register to get access to it but it is free.
I also hope that AIDA will be approved. There is a big need for this kind of data. With todays high-by-pass-ratio engines with very large fans and small high-pressure ratio cores the demands on the inter-ducts are becoming very important.
If you are interested I have a bunch of references on this type of transition-duct flows - Loughbourough Univ. have published several papers. There are also several papers from a Japanase groups as well as a few papers from other groups.
Re: Diffusor reference
I am curious about where you believe the difficulty lies with interconnecting ducts? Certainly the correlations used in industry (at least a few years ago - I am bit out of touch these days) are of modest ability but that seems to have been more to do with the component not being rated as particularly important (i.e. no resources allocated to developing the design methods) rather than anything challenging about the flow through the component.
The geometry is simple and straightforward to predict to any degree of accuracy required short of full DNS. A good LES prediction is going to challenge the accuracy of most measurement techniques. Performing such a prediction is perhaps not yet routine but the aerospace industry can access such codes/people if the requirement is there to develop the design methods further.
If I recall correctly, the biggest problem is that the flow in a "high performance" duct is very sensitive to the inlet conditions and these conditions are generally not known in sufficient detail particularly during the preliminary design stage. Since the consequences of stalling the flow in such ducts is serious they have ended up as conservative designs. I suspect having masses of experimental data and masses of CFD predictions is not going to alter things much other than building a bit of confidence - perhaps I am getting old and cynical.
Re: Diffusor reference
I think that you've summarized it quite well. Inter-ducts have not been researched a lot before. The reason being that in old engines these ducts were not regarded as very critical. Most of the work has actually been done at your old university (LBORO) - I think that I've seen your name on a few old papers even :).Things have changed though and the AIDA project is a clear indication that industry is now focusing much more on these ducts. AIDA has 16 partners and includes all major turbomachinery companies in Europe. 5 duct-test-facilities using both turbine and comressor rigs at leading Universities across Europe will be used in AIDA.
Future super-silent ultra-high-by-pass-ratio engines will demand a new class of very aggressive (large radial shift, short lentgth & high diffusion) inter-ducts. And as you point out old designs have been very conservative due to the high costs and serious delays associated with a failing duct. Since these ducts connect engine modules they are usually not tested until very late in an engine program so any problem is bound to be very expensive.
I don't agree with you that it is an easy CFD problem - you need to predict separation from a curved wall in an annular diffuser with large radial shift. The inflow is transient, often swirling, with incoming wakes, tip-leakeage vortices and sometimes even rotating fish-tail shock structures. The outlet also has periodic pressure disturbances affecting the duct behaviour. You can even have a complex interaction between a partially separating duct and a down-stream compressor which goes into rotating stall or surge. Ducts also often have struts or even partially integrated vanes (swept and leaned with a 3D shape to improve performance).
AIDA will also address novel ways to control separation in this type of ducts using flow-control devices on the wall.
Re: Diffusor reference
I did not say it was an easy CFD problem but that the physics involved can be simultated to a high degree of accuracy by a competent investigator using current state-of-the-art LES methods. I was referring to current inter-connecting ducts and not ones with small devices on the wall to stir up the boundary layer (reliable simulation of which is likely to be challenging since important physics will lie in the unresolved motion). Separation and curvature are mostly certainly problems for RANS turbulence models but much less so for LES.
When gas turbine engines become super-silent (non-rotating?) I suspect it will be time to retire the engineers.
