Apple is stifling the iPhone's share of the mobile market by selling it through so few carriers. And when it eventually starts selling the iPhone at more carriers per country, its market share could more than double, Morgan Stanley's Kathryn Huberty predicts in a note today. This could drive Apple sales and profits upward.
Bonus slideshow: 10 iPhone Apps Microsoft Must Make
"In the top six iPhone markets that are still exclusive, we believe that Apple's market share could rise to 10%, on average, in a multiple carrier distribution model from 4% today. These six markets represented almost 70% percent of iPhone shipments in C2Q09."
For example, if Apple were to sell the iPhone at more U.S. carriers, such as Verizon, she estimates its share of the U.S. market could more than double to 12.2%, up from 4.9% today.
Next year, she sees potential upside of 7.3 million unit sales, for example, as Apple sells the iPhone at more European carriers and enters China and Korea.
As a result, she raised her calendar 2010 revenue and adjusted EPS estimates to $45.3 billion/$10.50 from $44.8 billion/$10.00, as she now expects 41.7 milion iPhone shipments, up from 38.2 million.

120714 – Summer Risotto
Wowsa. How could something so easy be so delicious? I love that risotto only takes about 45 minutes to make in total and a couple of dishes to wash.
oh yeah, in the background is this gin fiz recipe: http://smittenkitchen.com/2012/07/blackberry-gin-fizz/. YUM!
- 3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 3/4 lb asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1 1/4 cups Arborio rice
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 3/4 lb medium shrimp
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- 2 tablespoons chopped lemon balm
- 4 slices pancetta
Bring broth and water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Add asparagus and simmer, uncovered, until just tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer asparagus with a slotted spoon to an ice bath to stop cooking, then drain. Keep broth at a bare simmer, covered.
Cook onion in 2 Tbsp butter with 1/4 tsp salt in a 4-qt heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Add wine and simmer, stirring constantly, until absorbed.
Stir in 1/2 cup broth mixture and briskly simmer, stirring frequently, until absorbed. Continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently and letting each addition be absorbed before adding the next, until rice is creamy and tender but still al dente (it should be the consistency of a thick soup), about 18 minutes. (There will be leftover broth mixture.)
Stir in shrimp, lemon balm, and pancetta and cook until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in asparagus, zest, parmesan, parsley, and pepper to taste. (Thin risotto with some of remaining broth if necessary.)

J. Warren Carey
Class of 1933
Major/Minor: English
Carey was inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame in 1991. His citation is copied below:
A two-sport performer at Washington College, J. Warren Carey excelled particularly as a pitcher in baseball. He also was a guard in football for two seasons.
Carey captained the Shoremen nine in his senior year, and then signed on to play professional baseball with the Philadelphia A's. He had pitched for the 1930 squad, but the sport was discontinued at Washington College for the next two seasons. The 1933 squad played a truncated schedule in 1933, splitting games with the University of Delaware and dropping a decision to the University of Maryland in their only other intercollegiate bout. Washington spent much of the 1933 season playing against semi-pro teams up and down the Eastern Shore.
Beyond his athletic abilities, Carey was a fine student, majoring in English literature and participating in several on-campus dramatic productions, most notably William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream. He was president of Phi Sigma Tau during his senior year, twice a member of the "W" Club, and a member of the Dean's Cabinet in 1933.
After graduation, and his brief stint in professional baseball, Carey began a long and productive career at Allied Chemical, now known as Allied-Signal, in 1937. While working as a foreman, Carey studied chemistry and physics at Drexel Institute of Technology. He rose through the ranks from Plant Manager to Vice President of the Fibers Division, eventually working as Assistant to the President at Allied Chemical before retiring in 1971. Carey received many awards and citations while working at Allied Chemical, including a Washington College Alumni Citation for Business Management in 1971, of which he was most proud.
Carey enjoyed reading, golf, his family, and his work. His daughter, Diane Sauerbrun, writes, "It was a family joke that if he had nothing else to read, he would start on the encyclopedia. He prided himself on his memory of dates and events in history, and his love of education and knowledge was very much a part of his life." He passed away in 1972.
Washington College takes great pleasure in the induction of J. Warren Carey into its Hall of Fame this eighteenth day of October, 1991.

We are a group of management consultants who have joined together to apply our significant experience in customer strategy, CRM and business improvement to an emerging market in Higher Education.
Higher Education i.e. Universities have traditionally been heavily regulated and government funded therefore have not need to compete with each other. They have operated in a market where the suppliers (universities) have the power. With the deregulation of the market in 2011 the customer (i.e. students) will now have the power and the Universities will need to learn how to market to and recruit (i.e. sell) students in a professional and effective manner.
Currently few Universities have a sales & marketing, or customer focused culture or sklls, nor do they understand the impact of competition.
Our ambition is to provide the business experience/advice as well as processes and tools that will enable our University customers to compete in this new market environment.
The target audience for our business offering are senior executives (Chief Marketing Officers or Head of Student Recruitment) from Australia's Universities and other higher education institutions i.e. TAFE's, VET providers.
Higher Education is at times very traditional and even somewhat "anti corporate", therefore any design should be clean and professional but not over the top.
• Must appeal to the target audience
• Consistent site header/logo
• Consistent navigation area
• Informative page title that includes company/organisation/site name
• Page footer area – copyright, last update, contact email address
• Displays without horizontal scrolling at 1024 X 768 and higher resolutions
• Balance of text/graphics/white space on page
• Good contrast between text and background
• Repetitive information (header/logo/navigation) takes up no more than one-quarter to one-third of the top portion of the browser window
• Home page has compelling, interesting above the fold
• Home page downloads within 10 seconds on dial-up connection
This will involve a home page design, and other templates that will be used for other pages (which will will provide the content ourselves after the contest). The menus (and submenus) we envisage are as follows;

- For Senior Administrators
- For Marketing Executives
- For Recruitment Executives
Our Thinking & Impact
About Us
We have previously ran a logo contest, attached below, we would like you to use this in the design, but here are a few things to think about:
- We want to give the website a friendly easy to understand - "Wordpress" feel to it.
- Must be social media ready with home page links for popular social networks i.e. facebook, linkedin, twitter.
We will require a layered .psd file as the final product. Do not mind if you use stock images, but please make sure you declare it.
Some example sites of similar businesses whose websites we like are following;
Note that the brand name is edYOUcate not educate as the sample design may imply.

This forum seems so quiet. I was wondering how many psp users there are here.
I've been using PSP since ver. 7, I adore ver 9. I tried x3 and didn't like it.
I had to purchase x5 for my laptop since ver 9 wouldn't install properly on windows 8. I'm loving it almost as much.
Anyone else care to share their history?

Flammable Touch is a Novice level Destruction spell added by the fourth plug-in Spell Tomes.
As with all Spell Tomes, Flammable Touch spawns randomly depending on multiple factors such as the Hero's level and spell level.
However, for the best odds of finding a Spell Tome, search boss-level chests in Necromancer and Conjurer lairs.

Accessing the current user object
From Joomla! Documentation
For every request in Joomla!, there is one user. Information about this user is readily available through the Joomla! framework in the form of an object. To get this object for the current user, use the following member function of JFactory:
$user = JFactory::getUser();
Or, to get information about any other registered user you can call the function with a user 'id', e.g. for user '99';
$user = JFactory::getUser(99);
Getting a reference through getUser() ensures that only one user object is created during any one Joomla! request, saving on memory and processing time. Most of the information about the user is available through public member variables of the user object. This code displays the current user's name, email, user name and user type:
echo "
Your name is {$user->name}, your email is {$user->email}, and your username is {$user->username}
";
Note: Since version 1.6 Joomla has a flexible ACL system, which makes $user->usertype deprecated!
The usertype field in #__users will only contain values for users that have been migrated from Joomla 1.5, but for new created users the field will be empty.
Use $user->groups to retrieve an array with all the IDs that refer to the groups (from #__usergroups table) of a user.
Object Member Variables and Parameters
These are the relevant member variables automatically generated on a call to getUser():
- id - The unique, numerical user id. Use this when referencing the user record in other database tables.
- name - The name of the user. (e.g. Vint Cerf)
- username - The login/screen name of the user. (e.g. shmuffin1979)
- email - The email address of the user. (e.g. email@example.com)
- password - The encrypted version of the user's password
- password_clear - Set to the user's password only when it is being changed. Otherwise, remains blank.
- usertype -
The role of the user within Joomla!. (Super Administrator, Editor, etc...)Has been deprecated since Joomla 1.6. Use $user->groups to retrieve an array with all the roles of a user.
- groups - Set to the user's group ids.
- block - Set to '1' when the user is set to 'blocked' in Joomla!.
- registerDate - Set to the date when the user was first registered.
- lastvisitDate - Set to the date the user last visited the site.
- guest - If the user is not logged in, this variable will be set to '1'. The other variables will be unset or default values.
- lastResetTime - Set to the last time the password was reset.
- resetCount - Counts the number of password resets.
In addition to the member variables (which are stored in the database in columns), there are parameters for the user that hold preferences. To get one of these parameters, call the getParam() member function of the user object, passing in the name of the parameter you want along with a default value in case it is blank.
$user = JFactory::getUser();
$language = $user->getParam('language', 'the default');
echo "
Your language is set to {$language}.
";
Determining Status
Frequently, you will just want to make sure the user is logged in before continuing. The 'guest' property will be set to '1' when the current user is not logged in. When the user is authenticated, 'guest' will be set to '0'.
$user = JFactory::getUser();
if ($user->guest) {
echo "
You must login to see the content. I want your email address.
";
} else {

Impromptu leftovers salad that goes well with fish

1/2 cup chopped celery

1/4 cup raisins

1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 tablespoons of faux Thai lemongrass marinade

1/4 cup shredded fresh basil

Sprinkling of dill weed

Big pinch of kosher salt

Several lettuce leaves

Wash the lettuce and basil and place in a salad bowl.
Get out a much smaller bowl and swish around all of the remaining ingredients.
Pour this over the greens and toss.
Serves two.

Not all users are given equal rights. For instance, a Super Administrator may be able to edit anyone's content, while a Publisher may only be able to edit their own. The authorise() member function can be used to determine if the current user has permission to do a certain task. The first parameter is used to identify which task we wish to check being allowed. The second represents the component we wish to retrieve the ACL information from.
$user = JFactory::getUser();
if ($user->authorise('core.edit', 'com_content'))
echo "
You may edit all content.
";
echo "
You may not edit all content.
";
if ($user->authorise('core.edit.own', 'com_content'))
echo "
You may edit your own content.
";
echo "
You may not edit your own content.
";
Information about the current user is readily available in any part of your Joomla! extension. You need only fetch the object and access the member variables. You can authorise the user against the core permissions set, or create your own to suit your needs.

For the last few years, the Harvard Institute of Politics has been running detailed surveys of 18 to 29 year olds—the so-called "Millennial" generation—designed to uncover and describe their political beliefs. The latest survey, released this morning, shows a striking result—a growing number of young people are pessimistic about the quality and competence of our institutions, and skeptical that politics can solve problems.
According to Harvard, 81 percent of 18 to 29 year olds rarely or never trust Congress to do the right thing. Fifty-eight percent say the same of the Supreme Court, 60 percent of the presidency, and 77 percent of the federal government overall. The only institution that comes in for positive marks is the military—54 percent say they trust it to do the right thing most of the time.
As for political participation, only 35 percent say that running for office is an "honorable thing to do," 47 percent say that politics are no longer to meet the challenges "our country is facing," and 56 percent say elected officials don't seem to share their priorities.
If these results are surprising, it's not because they're uncommon—this is how most adults feel—but because previous surveys from a variety of groups have shown Millennials as a group with high trust in government and a steadfast belief in political participation.
Then again, does any of this really come as a surprise? Two things are true if you're in your mid-twenties. First, you graduated into the worst economic climate since the Great Depression, with far fewer opportunities than you expected as a college graduate, to say nothing of the mountain of debt you (likely) accumulated. And second, the most you've seen of American politics is bitter partisanship and terrible gridlock, with few efforts to improve your life and standard of living.
Insofar that Millennials have lost faith in the ability of government to do good, it's a reasonable response to actual conditions.
This is why liberals should be skeptical of anyone who predicts a lasting majority for their side—young people just aren't confident that government can solve problems.
As for conservatives, they shouldn't celebrate. Millennials aren't thrilled with government or the Democratic Party, but they have nothing but disdain for the GOP. Only 25 percent call themselves Republicans, and 71 percent disapprove of their performance in Congress.

McCarthy confident Sherrod will play this year
By Pete Dougherty, PackersNews.com
~GREEN BAY – Coach Mike McCarthy said he expects former first-round draft pick Derek Sherrod to play this season.
Sherrod has been out since December of 2011 after breaking both bones in his lower leg in a game his rookie season at Kansas City. The third-year tackle is eligible to come off the physically unable to perform list next week, and then the Packers will have an eight-week window thereafter to activate him, put him on injured reserve or release him.
But McCarthy said it became clear early this season that Sherrod will be on their 53-man roster this year.
"I'd say probably Week 1 or 2," McCarthy said. "I really felt at the end of training camp his workouts went to a different level. He's in excellent shape, he's obviously a lot stronger than he was this time last year.
"As I've stated and it's obvious, that was a very, very serious injury. He needed the extra time. He looks good, he's champing at the bit. But let's be honest, the biggest hurdle he'll have to get over next is pads. He needs to get in pads and he needs to get in there. Once he gets over that hurdle I think he'll be ready to go."

Angioedema refers to the swelling that occurs in the tissue just below the skin. Angioedema is similar to urticaria (hives), except it occurs deeper in the skin. The swellings, known as welts, usually appear around the eyes and mouth. They may also be present on the hands, feet and throat. Angioedema can develop in anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours.
Angioedema is generally caused by an allergic reaction to either a food or medication. When an allergic reaction occurs, the immune system releases histamine and other chemicals into the bloodstream, causing allergic symptoms such as angioedema to occur. Angioedema could also be a sign of an underlying immune disorder like leukemia or Hodgkin's disease.
Angioedema that does not affect breathing is usually harmless and goes away in a few days. In most cases, angioedema does not leave any lasting marks, even without treatment. However, complications can range from dysphonia (difficulty speaking) or dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) to respiratory distress, complete airway obstruction and death.

The lesions of angioedema are caused by inflammation in the skin. Allergic reactions to medications or foods can cause acute hives or angioedema.
Hives and angioedema may also occur in response to the body's production of antibodies. This might occur as the result of blood transfusions, immune system disorders (like lupus or cancer), certain thyroid disorders and infections (as serious as hepatitis or as mild as a cold).
Local trauma, like dental procedures or tonsillectomy, may trigger hereditary angioedema in the upper respiratory tract or the gastrointestinal tract.
: Many foods can cause problems in sensitive people, but seafood, nuts, eggs and milk are most common.
: Almost any medication may cause hives or angioedema. Antibiotics, aspirin, ibuprofen (like Advil® or Motrin®) and blood pressure medications cause allergic reactions most often.
Other allergens
: Other substances that can cause angioedema include pollen, animal dander, latex and insect bites or stings.
Physical factors
: Environmental factors like heat, cold, sunlight, water, pressure on the skin, emotional stress and exercise can also cause angioedema in some people.
Acquired angioedema (AAE)
Discolored patches of skin or rash on the hands, feet, face or genitals.
Red welts, which are itchy or painful, are usually found near the eyes, mouth, hands, feet, genitals or throat. Welts will turn pale if irritated.
Chemosis (swollen eyes) and mouth swelling.
Abdominal cramping.
Difficulty breathing.
Angioedema-eosinophilia syndrome
Hives, itching, fever, muscle pain, decreased urination, weight gain and high leukocyte count.
Hereditary angioedema (HAE)
This type of angioedema is characterized by recurrent, self-limited attacks involving the skin, subcutaneous tissue, upper respiratory tract or gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Attacks may last from several hours to two or three days.
Sudden and severe swelling of face, arms, legs, hands, feet, genitalia, digestive tract and airway.
Swelling of digestive tract, which leads to abdominal cramping, vomiting, diarrhea, and/or reduced appetite.
Swollen airway, which causes difficulty or obstructed breathing, loss of consciousness, hoarseness or even death.
Anaphylactic shock (anaphylaxis) is a serious allergic reaction involving the heart or lungs. The bronchial tubes constrict, making it difficult to breathe. Blood pressure drops, causing dizziness and perhaps loss of consciousness or even death. Anaphylactic shock occurs suddenly and requires immediate medical care.
Mild angioedema symptoms may not need treatment. Acute attacks usually clear up within four days with or without medication. The symptoms of mild angioedema may be reduced by not irritating the affected areas, taking cool showers, applying a cool compress, wearing loose, light clothing, minimizing vigorous activity and using over-the-counter antihistamines to help relieve the itching.
Moderate to severe symptoms may need treatment. The most common treatment for angioedema is antihistamine. Common non-prescription antihistamines include: diphenhydramine (Benadryl®), chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton®), clemastine (Tavist®) and loratadine (Alavert® or Claritin®). Antihistamines like diphenhydramine, chlorpheniramine and clemastine may cause drowsiness. Commonly used prescription medications include: desloratadine (Clarinex®), fexofenadine (Allegra®), cetirizine (Zyrtec®) and hydroxyzine (like Atarax® or Vistaril®). For severe angioedema, doctors may prescribe an oral corticosteroid drug like prednisone.
Adrenaline (Epinephrine®), terbutaline (a bronchodilator), cimetidine, corticosteroids, sedatives and tranquilizers are also used.
Serious angioedema can be life-threatening if swelling causes the throat or tongue to block the airway. Patients should seek immediate medical treatment if breathing becomes difficult. At the hospital, a tube may be inserted in the throat to keep the airway open. Nasopharyngeal intubation, endotracheal intubation or nasotracheal intubation may be performed. Also, in severe cases, steroids, H1 and H2 blockers and subcutaneous epinephrine may be administered in addition to antihistamines.
Hereditary angioedema does not respond as well to subcutaneous epinephrine, antihistamines and steroids. Stanozolol, an anabolic steroid, and danazol, a gonadotropin inhibitor, are often used to treat the acute phase of a hereditary angioedema attack. Often, patients are given aminocaproic acid for maintenance replacement of C1INH to prevent future attacks. A qualified healthcare provider should attempt to replace C1INH during the acute phase. If C1INH concentrate is unavailable, fresh frozen plasma may be used instead.
Integrative therapies
: In a severe angioedema attack, conventional emergency medical care should be administered immediately to open airways. Herbs or supplements should not be taken during an acute attack.
Good scientific evidence
: Some physicians use bromelain, an enzyme derived from pineapple, to help reduce inflammation. It is sometimes recommended to be taken with turmeric (
Curcuma longa
), which may enhance the effects of bromelain.
Avoid if allergic to bromelain, pineapple, honeybee, venom, latex, birch pollen, carrots, celery, fennel, cypress pollen, grass pollen, papain, rye flour, wheat flour, or members of the Bromeliaceae
family. Use cautiously with a history of bleeding disorders, stomach ulcers, or heart, liver, or kidney disease. Use caution before dental or surgical procedures or while driving or operating machinery. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
: Comfrey may have anti-inflammatory effects. Clinical trials investigating topical application of comfrey-containing creams have found significant reductions in inflammation and pain associated with sprains and muscle injuries. Additional study is needed to confirm these results.
Avoid if allergic/hypersensitive to comfrey, its constituents, or members of the Boraginaceae family. Avoid oral comfrey. Avoid topical comfrey on broken skin. Avoid topical comfrey in individuals with or at risk for hepatic disorders, cancer, or immune disorders. Use topical creams containing comfrey cautiously if taking anti-inflammatory medications or cytochrome P450 3A4-inducing agents. Use extreme caution when using topical creams containing comfrey for extended periods. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Unclear or conflicting scientific evidence
Black seed
: Studies in patients with allergies found that black seed decreased allergic disease severity, slightly decreased plasma triglycerides (levels of fat within the blood), and slightly increased HDL cholesterol. The effect of black seed for allergies is still not clear and further study is required.
Avoid with a known allergy/hypersensitivity to black seed, its constituents, black seed oil, or to members of the Ranunculaceae family. Allergic contact dermatitis has been reported after topical use of black seed or the oil from the seed.
: Preliminary research suggests that butterbur may not suppress allergic skin disease reactions when compared to the prescription drug fexofenadine (Allegra®), which does suppress these reactions. Additional study is needed.
Use caution if allergic or sensitive to
Petasites hybridus
or other plants from the Asteraceae/Compositae family (like ragweed, marigolds, daisies and chrysanthemums). Raw, unprocessed butterbur plant should not be eaten due to the risk of liver or kidney damage or cancer. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
: Limited early research suggests that calendula extracts may reduce skin inflammation. Human studies are lacking in this area.
Avoid if allergic to plants in the Aster/Compositae family such as ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, and daisies. Use cautiously in patients taking sedatives, blood pressure medications, cholesterol medications, blood sugar-altering agents, and immunomodulators. Use cautiously with diabetes and in children. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Cat's claw
: Cat's claw may have anti-inflammatory effects, which has led to research of this herb for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and allergies. Large, high-quality human studies are needed comparing effects of cat's claw alone vs. placebo.
Avoid if allergic to cat's claw or
plants or plants in the Rubiaceae family such as gardenia, coffee, or quinine. Avoid with a history of conditions affecting the immune system (such as AIDS, HIV, some types of cancer, multiple sclerosis, tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus). Use cautiously with bleeding disorders or a history of stroke, or if taking drugs that may increase the risk of bleeding. Discontinue use two weeks before surgery/dental/diagnostic procedures with bleeding risk, and do not use immediately after these procedures. Cat's claw may be contaminated with other
species. Reports exist of a potentially toxic, Texan grown plant,
Acacia gregii
being substituted for cat's claw. Avoid if pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to become pregnant.
: Research in laboratory animals suggests that dandelion root may possess anti-inflammatory properties. There is a lack of well-conducted human studies currently available in this area.
Avoid if allergic to chamomile, feverfew, honey, yarrow, or any related plants such as aster, daisies, sunflower, chrysanthemum, mugwort, ragweed, or ragwort. Use cautiously with diabetes or bleeding disorders, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), kidney or liver diseases, or a history of stroke or electrolyte disorders. Potassium blood levels should be monitored. Stop use two weeks before surgery/dental/diagnostic procedures with bleeding risk and do not use immediately after these procedures. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Euphorbia balsamifera
has been studied in patients with acute dental pulpitis, and may be comparable to that of pulpal nerve caustics. Additional study is necessary to make a recommendation for oral inflammation.
Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to pollen from
Euphorbia fulgens
. Use cautiously with history of Epstein Barr virus infection or stomach conditions. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
: Several iridoid glycosides isolated from eyebright, particularly aucubin, may possess anti-inflammatory properties comparable to those of indomethacin (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug). However, there is currently insufficient evidence to recommend for or against eyebright as an anti-inflammatory agent.
Avoid with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to eyebright. Hypersensitivity to members of the Scrophulariaceae family may lead to a cross-sensitivity reaction. Use cautiously as an eye treatment, particularly homemade preparations, due to the risk of infection if not sterile. Use cautiously with diabetes and drugs that are broken down by the liver. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Hypnotherapy, hypnosis
: It has been suggested that hypnotherapy may be effective for allergies. However, further research is necessary to determine whether it is an effective treatment.
Use cautiously with mental illnesses like psychosis/schizophrenia, manic depression, multiple personality disorder or dissociative disorders. Use cautiously with seizure disorders.
: Jewelweed has been used traditionally as a treatment for various types of contact dermatitis, including poison ivy/oak rashes and allergic dermatitis, however, human study indicates that it may not be effective for this use.
Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to jewelweed (
Impatiens biflora
), its constituents, or members of the Balsaminaceae family. Use cautiously if taking calcium supplements and with kidney stone disorders. Avoid consuming excess amounts of jewelweed due to reports of high mineral content, particularly calcium oxalate. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Lactobacillus acidophilus
: Limited available study suggests that the
Lactobacillus acidophilus
) strain L-92 (L-92) may be effective for the treatment of Japanese cedar-pollen allergy. Further research is needed to confirm these results.
may be difficult to tolerate if allergic to dairy products containing
Avoid with history of an injury or illness of the intestinal wall, immune-disease, or heart valve surgery. Avoid with prescription drugs, such as corticosteroids, because of the risk of infection. Use cautiously with heart murmurs. Antibiotics or alcohol may destroy
Therefore, it is recommended that
be taken three hours after taking antibiotics or drinking alcohol. Some individuals may use antacids, such as famotidine (Pepcid®) and esomeprazole (Nexium®), to decrease the amount of acid in the stomach one hour before taking
: Many medical conditions are marked by inflammation. Because licorice can affect the metabolism of steroids, licorice is sometimes used to help decrease inflammation. Additional study is needed to make a conclusion.
Avoid with a known allergy to licorice, any component of licorice, or any member of the Fabaceae (Leguminosae) plant family. Avoid with congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, kidney or liver disease, fluid retention, high blood pressure, hormonal abnormalities or if taking diuretics. Licorice can cause abnormally low testosterone levels in men or high prolactin or estrogen levels in women. This may make it difficult to become pregnant and may cause menstrual abnormalities.
: Marshmallow extracts have traditionally been used to treat inflammatory skin conditions. Several laboratory experiments, mostly in the 1960s, reported marshmallow to have anti-inflammatory activity but limited human study is available. Safety, dosing, and effectiveness compared to other anti-inflammatory agents have not been examined.
Historically, marshmallow is generally regarded as being safe in healthy individuals. However, since studies have not evaluated the safety of marshmallow, proper doses and duration in humans are not known. Allergic reactions may occur. There is not enough scientific evidence to support the safe use of marshmallow during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
: Early research shows that topical application of an alcoholic onion extract significantly reduced responses to allergies, such as wheals (hives) and flares. More research is needed.
Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to onion (
Allium cepa
), its constituents, or members of the Lilaceae family. Use cautiously with hematologic (blood) disorders, diabetes, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), and hypotension (low blood pressure). Use cautiously if taking anticoagulants or antiplatelets (blood thinners). Avoid medicinal doses if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Para-aminobenzoic acid
: Para-aminomethylbenzoic acid (PABA) may be useful in the treatment of lichen slerosus, a benign, progressive dermatologic condition characterized by inflammation, pruritus (itching), and pain, especially in the anogenital region (involving the anus and genitals). Additional investigations are needed regarding the use of PABA for inflammatory skin disorders.
Avoid with known hypersensitivity to PABA or its derivatives. Discontinue use if rash, nausea, or anorexia occurs. Avoid oral use in children and pregnant or nursing women. Use cautiously in patients with renal or liver disease. PABA should not be given concurrently with sulfonamides. Use cautiously in patients with bleeding disorders or taking anticoagulants. Use cautiously in patients with diabetes or hypoglycemia.
: Peony root may have beneficial effects on immune function. These effects may help decrease inflammation associated with allergic skin reactions such as allergic dermatitis. There is currently not enough evidence to recommend for or against the use of peony in allergic skin conditions.
Avoid if allergic or sensitive to peony. Avoid with bleeding disorders or if taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that increase bleeding risk. Use cautiously with estrogen-sensitive cancers or if taking drugs, herbs, or supplements with hormonal activity. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
: Preliminary evidence suggests some benefit of perilla extract for seasonal allergies. Further clinical trials are required before conclusions can be made.
Avoid if allergic/hypersensitive to perilla or members of the Lamiaciae/Labiatae family. Use cautiously with cancer, low HDL-cholesterol, and immune disorders. Use cautiously if taking NSAIDS or barbiturates. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
: Only a few types and combinations of probiotics have been studied as a possible allergy treatment. They have been studied mostly in children, teenagers, and young adults. Further research is necessary before a firm conclusion can be made. Probiotics are generally considered safe and well tolerated. Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to probiotics. Use cautiously if lactose intolerant.
Stinging nettle
: Limited available clinical study has examined the effectiveness of a topical combination product containing stinging nettle for insect bites. Results did not show a significant reduction in erythema or itching with the nettle-containing cream. Further well-designed clinical trials are required before a firm conclusion can be made.
Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to nettle, the Urticaceae family, or any ingredient of nettle products. Use cautiously with diabetes, bleeding disorders, and/or low sodium levels in the blood. Use cautiously with diuretics and anti-inflammatories. The elderly should also use nettle cautiously because nettle may drastically reduce blood pressure. Avoid if pregnant because in one animal study, nettle caused uterine contractions. Avoid if breastfeeding due to insufficient evidence of safety.
Tea tree oil
: Small studies show that tea tree oil applied to the skin may reduce allergic skin reactions caused by histamine-induced inflammation. Further research is needed to confirm these results.
Avoid allergic or hypersensitive to tea tree oil (
Melaleuca alternifolia
), any of its constituents, balsam of Peru, benzoin, colophony (rosin) tinctures, eucalyptol, or members of the Myrtle (Myrtaceae) family. Avoid taking tea tree oil by mouth. Avoid if taking antineoplastic agents. Use tea tree oil applied to the skin cautiously in patients with previous tea tree oil use. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
: Historically, thyme has been used topically for a number of inflammatory skin disorders. Results are mixed. Additional study is needed in this area.
Avoid with known allergy/hypersensitivity to members of the
(mint) family or to any component of thyme, or to rosemary (
Rosmarinus officinalis
). Avoid oral ingestion or non-diluted topical application of thyme oil due to potential toxicity. Avoid topical preparations in areas of skin breakdown or injury, or in atopic patients, due to multiple reports of contact dermatitis. Use cautiously in patients with gastrointestinal irritation or peptic ulcer disease due to anecdotal reports of gastrointestinal irritation. Use cautiously in patients with thyroid disorders due to observed anti-thyrotropic effects in animal research of the related species
Thymus serpyllum
. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Thymus extract
: Thymus extract may reduce allergy symptoms due to its potential immune stimulating effects. More clinical trials are required before recommendations can be made involving thymus extract for this use.
Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to thymus extracts. Use bovine thymus extract supplements cautiously due to potential for exposure to the virus that causes "mad cow disease." Avoid use with an organ transplant or other forms of allografts or xenografts. Avoid if receiving immunosuppressive therapy, with thymic tumors, myasthenia gravis (neuromuscular disorder), untreated hypothyroidism, or if taking hormonal therapy. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding; thymic extract increases human sperm motility and progression.
: Turmeric is a perennial plant native to India and Indonesia, and it is often used as a spice in cooking. Laboratory and animal studies show activity against inflammation for turmeric and its constituent curcumin. Reliable human research is lacking.
Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to turmeric (curcumin), yellow food colorings or plants belonging to the Curcuma or Zingiberaceae (ginger) families. Use cautiously with history of bleeding disorders, immune system deficiencies, liver disease or gallstones. Use cautiously with blood-thinners (e.g. warfarin). Use cautiously if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Witch hazel
: A homeopathic formulation containing an extract of witch hazel and tinctures of other botanicals was studied for its effects in relieving redness and itching associated with mosquito bites. According to study results, the formulation did not provide effective relief from mosquito bite symptoms. However, because information about the strength or concentration of the witch hazel extract used was not available, and witch hazel was not evaluated alone, conclusions about the effects of witch hazel on symptoms of insect bites cannot be made. Additional research is needed in this area.
Avoid if allergic or sensitive to witch hazel. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding. Use cautiously in people with liver or kidney disorders, diabetes, and in children.
Fair negative scientific evidence
: A comparative controlled trial did not find a clinically or statistically significant difference between fire ant bites treated with papain or placebo.
Use cautiously in patients with bleeding disorders or taking anticoagulants or antiplatelets. Use cautiously with radiation therapy or in patients being treated for prostatitis. Avoid in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease or in patients using immunosuppressive therapy. Avoid in patients allergic or sensitive to papain.
Traditional or theoretical uses lacking sufficient evidence
: Some clinicians claim that acupuncture may help boost the immune system and lessen the frequency or severity of allergic responses like angioedema. However, more scientific research is needed before any recommendations can be made for allergies.
Needles must be sterile in order to avoid disease transmission. Avoid with valvular heart disease, infections, bleeding disorders, medical conditions of unknown origin, or neurological disorders. Avoid if taking drugs that increase the risk of bleeding (e.g. anticoagulants). Avoid on areas that have received radiation therapy and during pregnancy. Use cautiously with pulmonary disease (e.g. asthma or emphysema). Use cautiously in elderly or medically compromised patients, diabetics, or with history of seizures. Avoid electroacupuncture with arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) or in patients with pacemakers because therapy may interfere with the device.
Apple cider vinegar
: Apple cider vinegar has been used traditionally as a topical treatment for insect stings, including bee stings. Scientific evidence supporting the use of apple cider vinegar for insect bites is currently lacking.
Apple cider vinegar is likely safe when taken by mouth as food flavoring. Use caution if allergic or hypersensitive to apple cider vinegar or any of its ingredients (like apples and pectin). Use caution with a history of low potassium levels, diabetes or osteoporosis. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
: Based on anecdotal evidence, dried chamomile flowers have been added to bath water as a topical treatment for insect bites. Currently, human trials have not evaluated the safety or effectiveness of chamomile for these uses.
Avoid if allergic to chamomile or any related plants, such as aster, chrysanthemum, mugwort, ragweed, or ragwort. Stop use two weeks before and immediately after surgery/dental/diagnostic procedures with bleeding risks. Use cautiously if driving or operating machinery. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Devil's claw root
: Devil's claw root may help reduce inflammation and skin lesions. Additional research is needed regarding anti-inflammatory effects.
Avoid if allergic to devil's claw or to plants in the
Harpagophytum procumbens
family. Use caution with stomach ulcers or history of bleeding disorders, diabetes, gallstones, gout, heart disease, stroke, ulcers, or with prescription drugs used for these conditions. Stop use two weeks before surgery/dental/diagnostic procedures with bleeding risk, and do not use immediately after these procedures. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Ginkgo biloba
Ginkgo biloba
extract has been used for allergies and inflammation. However, in rare cases,
has been reported to cause an allergic reaction on the skin.
Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to members of the Ginkgoaceae
family. If allergic to mango rind, sumac, poison ivy or oak or cashews, then allergy to ginkgo is possible. Avoid with blood-thinners (like aspirin or warfarin (Coumadin®)). Ginkgo seeds are dangerous and should be avoided. Skin irritation and itching may also occur due to ginkgo allergies. Do not use ginkgo in supplemental doses if pregnant or breastfeeding.
: Goldenseal (
Hydrastis canadensis
) has been used as an antihistamine and to treat severe symptoms of allergies like stomach pain, diarrhea, and decreased appetite.
Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to goldenseal or any of its constituents, like berberine and hydrastine. Use cautiously with bleeding disorders, diabetes, or low blood sugar. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
: Quercetin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, may reduce the likelihood of a reaction to allergies. The recommended amount is generally 200 to 400 miligrams three times daily before meals, according to a review by the University of Maryland Medical Center. Avoid citrus-based forms of flavonoids if sensitive to citrus or if taking calcium-channel blockers to treat high blood pressure.
Quercetin is generally considered safe when taken at doses normally found in foods. Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to quercetin. Possible eye, skin, gastrointestinal and/or respiratory tract infection may occur. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
To prevent recurrent angioedema, avoid irritating the affected area, stay away from known allergens and avoid extreme temperatures.
Allergy testing with a trained specialist may help identify potential triggers. Certain foods and food additives may trigger angioedema in susceptible people. Common food triggers include: seafood, nuts, legumes, eggs, chocolate, milk and berries.
Individuals who are prone to angioedema should wear a Medic Alert bracelet that notes their condition.
Patients should never take medications that are not prescribed for them.
Individuals who have a disorder associated with hives and angioedema, such as lupus, lymphoma or thyroid disease, are more susceptible to develop angioedema. Individuals should tell their doctor if they have a family history of hives, angioedema or hereditary angioedema.
Types of angioedema
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is genetic and tends to recur. This inherited form of angioedema is related to low levels or abnormal functioning of certain blood proteins (C1 inhibitors). These inhibitors help regulate immune system functions.
Acquired angioedema (AAE) is not genetic. It is characterized by painless, non-pitting, non-pruritic swelling of the skin. This form of angioedema occurs as a reaction to histamine or other chemicals in the blood. This form of angioedema is often, although not always, the result of an allergic reaction.
Angioedema-eosinophilia syndrome causes a fever, hives or itchiness. This form of angioedema is characterized by a high leukocyte count, muscle pain, weight gain or decreased urination.
Angioedema and urticaria
Angioedema and urticaria are different manifestations of the same pathologic process. In both conditions, postcapillary venule inflammation results in fluid leakage and edema (swelling). However, angioedema involves vessels in the layers of the skin below the dermis, while urticaria is localized to the superficial portion of the dermis.
The subdermal source of angioedema results in well-demarcated, localized, non-pitting edema. Urticaria is characterized by well-circumscribed wheals with raised erythematous borders and central blanching.
Angioedema and urticaria can occur together or separately. Recurrent episodes of one or both conditions for less than a six-week period are considered acute, whereas longer-lasting outbreaks are considered chronic.

One of the things I've come to look forward to while researching my family is visiting the local cemeteries. I find the various headstones to be fascinating. They range from the most elaborate marble headstones with a photo of the deceased enshrined in a glass frame to folk art headstones made from concrete with handmade designs and customized memorializations. Here are a few of the folk art headstones I photographed at Mt. Olive Baptist Church Cemetery.

Linux distribution vendor Red Hat has used an online event to make a series of announcements focused around its Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) cloud strategy and its wider Cloud Foundations portfolio. Aimed at promoting consistency between enterprise applications and the cloud, Red Hat is working towards interoperability and portability to prevent cloud lock-in.
Using multiple clouds effectively to take advantage of competitive advantages across a wide range of public and private clouds is a central part of Red Hat's services philosophy. Based on JBoss Enterprise Middleware, Red Hat PaaS is designed to allow enterprises, cloud service providers, ISVs and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers to take existing assets and develop new applications and deploy them to any cloud.
Red Hat says it plans to bring the JBoss enterprise middleware strategy of "Open Choice" to the cloud through flexible deployment options in addition to a choice of development frameworks and languages. The company's PaaS solution will be designed to simplify the development of simple web applications as well as complex, transactional enterprise applications with the ability to be able to integrate them into the enterprise itself.
"Application infrastructure (in the form of middleware) is a key technology layer in enterprise computing, and it is of equal role and importance in cloud computing as well. To achieve the full cost, agility, productivity and scale benefits of cloud computing, applications must be deployed over a native cloud-enabled application infrastructure. Mainstream organizations must prepare to evaluate a full range of deployment options, including cloud, when planning their future application infrastructure investments," said Yefim Natis, a distinguished analyst with Gartner.
Red Hat first introduced Cloud Foundations in June 2010 during the Red Hat Summit in Boston. This line of products includes tools suited to implementing a private cloud, a detailed reference architecture and implementation cookbook, as well as consulting services and training offerings. The company says that it has been well received to date and is clearly using this as the basis for today's additional cloud-centric announcements.

The latest report from USDA's Economic Research Service forecasts big increases in net farm income and net cash income for 2011. USDA Chief Economist Joe Glauber says that for the first time both are expected to exceed $100 billion in the same year. Both marks are records with net cash income projected up just over 24% to $114.8 billion.
"The net cash income number is a nominal record," Glauber said. "It's the highest level, even adjusting for inflation, all the way back to 1974."
Glauber notes that net farm income is forecast to rise 31% from 2010 to $103.6 billion. Cash receipts are estimated to be around $370 billion.
"That's up 18% over 2010 levels," Glauber said. "The crop receipts are a total of about $207 billion, that's up19.4% over last year, certainly lead by sales of corn, wheat and soybeans. Also livestock receipts are estimated around $164 billion and that is up almost 16%."
Glauber says it's likely no surprise that yearly farm expenses are also expected to reach new heights; they are forecast to be 11.4% higher than in 2010. He notes it's the first time total expenses are expected to surpass the $300 billion mark.
"Feed costs are up about 20% and that goes hand in hand with corn, wheat and soybean prices," Glauber said. "And then fuel and fertilizer prices are up almost 24%, so we've seen those increases in oil prices that translate into higher diesel prices, higher gasoline prices and also fertilizer prices."
Even so, Glauber says the balance sheet for 2011 looks good for most agriculture producers. While production expenses are up, he says receipts have increased more. Also the farm sector debt is down almost 2% from last year and the debt to asset ratio is forecast to match a historical low.

The Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest' is made up of buildings or structures which are considered to be of national importance because of their architectural or historic features. The statutory list is compiled by the Secretary of State hence they are referred to as 'Listed Buildings'. They are given special protection against inappropriate alteration or demolition.
There are around 300 statutorily listed buildings in the Borough of Dudley and the number increases yearly. Many of these buildings are a product of 18th and 19th century industrial growth, however there are earlier structures which show the development of building style over time.
The Council has also compiled a Local List of historic buildings in the Borough that do not meet the national criteria for inclusion on the statutory lists which are nevertheless worthy of protection and conservation in their own right.
Detailed records relating to listed buildings and other aspects of the historic environment can be found in the Dudley Historic Buildings Sites and Monuments' Record (HBSMR).
Visit the English Heritage web site to find out the criteria for adding buildings to the Statutory List.
Listed Building Consent is required to demolish, extend or alter any part of a listed building, inside, outside or within its boundary curtilage as well as the curtilage itself (this includes walls fences etc.). Alterations can also involve the replacement of windows and doors and the removal of chimneys, inner walls or architectural features. Planning Permission may also be required.
Anyone carrying out or permitting unauthorised works to a building which causes, or is likely to cause, damage is guilty of an offence and may be fined.
Please Talk to a Conservation Officer when contemplating any work to a listed building and before you appoint contractors or apply for consent.
You can find out if a property you are interested in is locally listed by using the A-Z listing of the locally listed buildings in Dudley. To search, you can enter the name of the address into the keyword search box below, or search by district or SMR number. Alternatively click the show all link for information about the whole Borough.
If you cannot find the information that you are looking for, please the contact the Historic Environment Team or ask at the reception desk at the Directorate of the Urban Environment, 4 Ednam Road, Dudley.

Student Appreciation Awards Announced, April 19, 1999
SOCORRO, N.M., April 19, 1999 -- New Mexico Tech's first "Student Appreciation Awards" have been bestowed on six students and one student club in recognition of their service to and leadership in the university community.
"New Mexico Tech has many students who give their time and effort to extracurricular projects they care about," says Emily Nye, Tech humanities professor and Student Services director. "Many of these students also excel at part-time jobs, participate in professional associations, and, of course, struggle to keep up with their coursework. We on the committee decided to create some way to reward these outstanding people."
Nye is a member of the Student Appreciation Committee that was charged with selecting the winners.
Eighteen students were nominated to be considered for the honor by the university's faculty, staff, and other students.
The following winners will be honored at a campus awards banquet on Sunday, April 25:
- Tim Canty is a graduate student pursuing an advanced physics degree. In addition to serving as a teaching assistant, Canty has also been active in the Gradate Student Association. He has been a leader in the move to establish a student health center at New Mexico Tech. As a member of Tech's Physics Club, Canty has participated in presentations made at several local schools, and has also helped organize he university's annual Paper Airplane Contest, which has proven to be a popular community event.
- Wayne Davidson is a junior majoring in management. Davidson has been a leader in student government and, this past winter, worked as a lobbyist for higher education at the state legislature. He also has been an exemplary employee at various administrative offices: last summer, he helped the Tech Registrar's Office fine-tune the degree-audit program; and, more recently, he developed a webpage for the university's Academic Affairs Office.
- Leslie Glover, a senior engineering mechanics student, has been a leader in the Student-Produced Leisure Activities at Tech (SPLAT) group, a new student organization that plans and produces enjoyable activities for students. This current academic year's SPLAT events have included concerts, comedy nights, a ski trip, and a midnight breakfast during Finals Week.
- Roseanna Neupauer, a doctoral candidate in Tech's hydrology program, is also a recipient of a U. S. Environmental Protection Agency STAR Fellowship at the university. She is president of the Tech Graduate Student Association, has served on many departmental committees, and also has helped engender student involvement in extracurricular events. By working with the Tech administration, Neupauer brought to light a federal tax issue in 1998 that affected Tech graduate students, which led to her subsequent development of a related website. In addition, she also has garnered a well-earned reputation for working on cutting-edge research and academic outreach programs for her peers.
- Carlos Rey Romero is a senior chemical engineering student. He is an active member of the local chapter of the Society of Mexican American Engineers and Scientists (MAES) and has been an orientation leader, resident assistant, and vice president of the New Mexico Tech Student Association. For two years, Romero has served as president of the statewide Associated Students of New Mexico organization.
- Aaron Saenz, a senior technical communication major, has had several stints as a Hi-Tech Ambassador through the Admission Office, an orientation leader, and a resident assistant in Tech's residence halls. He has also been an officer for both the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers and Gays and Friends and currently is president-elect for the Society of Technical Communication. Saenz also has volunteered his services in the Socorro community by developing websites for several local non-profit groups.
- The Society of Economic Geologists is a student group which was noted for its excellent service at the National Science Teachers Association conference in Albuquerque last fall. Members of the group helped collect, process, and distribute more than 25,000 mineral specimens for teachers. They bagged minerals, added descriptive information, and helped staff the information booth.
The Student Appreciation Committee which selected the award recipients was comprised of representatives from the Tech Graduate, Financial Aid, Student Services, Registrar's, and Residential Life offices.
Committee members anticipate that the Student Appreciation Awards will become an annual event at New Mexico Tech.

Did you know...
In 2010, more than 365 million acres were planted worldwide with genetically engineered (GMO) seeds.
The U.S. leads the world with more than 165 million acres of GMO crops, mostly Roundup Ready® crops.
Monsanto owns patents on the genes of more than 93% of soybeans, 80% of corn, and 95% of sugar beets planted in the U.S. -- all genetically modified to be resistant to the weed killer Roundup.
In 2007, more than 185,000,000 lbs. of Roundup were applied to U.S. crops, the year the Bush administration halted reporting of the herbicide's application rates.
In 1992, U.S. Vice President Dan Quayle announced that GMO foods would not be "hampered by unnecessary regulation", freeing Monsanto of the burden of independent testing or labeling of GMO foods for the American public.
Are you eating GMOs?
Tell the Obama administration to stop the planting of GMO alfalfa & sugar beets

Longtime USC assistant coach Ed Orgeron has been chosen to be the Trojans' interim football coach, Athletic Director Pat Haden announced at a Sunday afternoon news conference.
Orgeron replaces Lane Kiffin, who was fired after Saturday night's 62-41 loss at Arizona State. Kiffin was 28-15 in three-plus years at USC.
Orgeron has head coaching experience; he led Mississippi to a 10-25 record from 2005 to 2007.
"Ed is a good man who knows USC," Haden said.
Haden said Orgeron would be USC's interim coach for at least the remaining eight games. Haden would not speculate on a possible successor to Kiffin.
"It's not fair to our team," Haden said. "This is not the right time."
Haden did joke that all his candidates are "alive" and "you are all candidates in this room."
Haden said he made the decision to fire Kiffin shortly after Saturday night's loss. He met with Kiffin for 45 minutes after the team arrived in Los Angeles.
"He's a recruiter," Haden said. "He battled me. He really, really tried to keep his job."
Haden said the decision came down to a gut feeling.
Orgeron thanked Kiffin for his service and said he would try to bring some energy to the situation. Orgeron said offensive coordinator Clay Helton would take over play-calling duties from Kiffin.
"I want to tell you that we're here as a staff to answer the bell," Orgeron said. "We're all accountable for what happened."
Orgeron, having coached in the SEC, said he is ready to take on the pressures of coaching at USC.
He said he knows "how to play LSU and Alabama, at LSU and at Alabama."
