A parent's nightmare became reality Sunday when a ride malfunctioned at the Norwalk Oyster Festival, leaving more than a dozen children injured.
Fortunately, none of the kids were seriously hurt, but will the accident make you think twice about putting your kids on a ride at the next carnival?
Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below. First, consider these statistics from the International Association of Amusements Parks and Attractions' 2011 Fixed-Site Amusement Ride Injury Survey:
- Approximately 297 million guests visit the 400 U.S. amusement parks annually and take 1.7 billion safe rides.
- The chance of being seriously injured on a ride at a fixed-site park in the U.S. is 1 in 24 million.
- 61 of the 1,415 ride-related injuries, or less than 5 percent, required some form of overnight treatment at a hospital.
It's important to note that the statistics above from the IAAPA are for fixed-site parks like a Six Flags, for instance, and the Oyster Festival is an annual event with rides that are brought in just for the weekend. Furthermore, reports indicate that the swing ride, called the Zumur, did pass an inspection prior to the start of the festival.
While the cause remains under investigation, early indications are that it was the result of mechanical malfunction; that resulted in the swings, and their riders, crashing into each other.
The rides at the Oyster Festival were brought in by Trumbull-based Stewart Amusement, which has been providing entertainment at area events since 1983. In a message on its website, the company states, "Rides are inspected daily by our own trained personnel, weekly by state and local inspectors, and annually by professional engineers and insurance company inspectors."
"Our first and only concern is for the well-being of those involved and their families," the company writes. "We are continuing to cooperate with authorities as they investigate into the root cause of the accident."
In light of the accident, will you think twice about putting your kid on a ride at the next carnival?

Hawthorn Mellody Park
Hawthorn Mellody Park is located at 2221 Hazeltime Drive near Hazeltime Court NW of Huntington and

No eye contact when on lap
Started by Want_to_be_a_mummy , Jan 13 2013 10:11 AM
4 replies to this topic
Posted 13 January 2013 - 10:11 AM
My son is 20 weeks old and I've noticed that if he is standing on my lap facing me he will look everywhere else but at my face. He gives me eye contact at other times but when he's on my lap it's like he won't. Does anyone's else's baby do this?!
Posted 13 January 2013 - 10:21 AM
Hi, I can't remember if my DS did that specifically, but I was recently holding my nephew (about 7 months) and it was commented a number of times that he won't ever look at the person holding him.
I think eye contact is a learned behaviour so may take a while to watch you from all sorts of positions??
Posted 13 January 2013 - 10:21 AM
I would not worry about it at this stage, he is probably wanting to see what is around him and that is stimulating in itself. If he gives you adequate eye contact at different times then I would not worry about it at this stage. Just note it down and discuss with your Paed if you're still worried later on at his appropriate check up.
Posted 13 January 2013 - 03:54 PM
Hi, my son is the same age and I just tried it ith him and he did the same, looked everywhere else but my eyes. I'd say it's normal. My son can't bare weight yet so I probably should start doing it more often!
Posted 14 January 2013 - 02:15 PM
He's already better at this then he was yesterday. It's so hard not to worry about every little thing they do. I worry about whether or not he;s meeting his milestones when he should be. Another thing I noticed that he should be doing but isn't is turning to sounds. He can definitely hear but he seems to turn to other sounds more than other sounds - Is this normal?

The Solano County Sheriff's Office arrested two Fairfield residents early Tuesday morning who authorities say are suspected of breaking into a car in Cordelia.
Williams Burges III, 35, and Honora C. Herrington, 27, were stopped by Sgt. John Arabia just after 4 a.m. in the area of Rockville and Suisun Valley roads for an alleged vehicle code violation, according to a press release from the Solano County Sheriff's Office.
Both Burges, a transient, and Herrington were out on post-release community supervision (PRCS), making them subject to search and seizure, the release explained.
Arabia conducted a search of the vehicle and found several items that he believed to have been stolen recently, including some items that had a possible victim's name on them, authorities stated. Arabia contacted the potential victim and asked him to check his vehicle, which was parked in the Cordelia area. After checking his vehicle, the victim learned it had been broken into and burglarized sometime during the night.
Arabia also allegedly found numerous pieces of mail from several different addresses in Cordelia near where the victim's vehicle was parked, according to officials.
Fairfield police were notified and officers met with the victim, whom Arabia had spoken to earlier, and took a crime report, officials said. The victim was later able to identify some of the items found inside the suspects' vehicle as being stolen from his locked vehicle.
Burges and Herrington were arrested and booked into Solano County Jail on suspicion of vehicle burglary, possession of stolen property, conspiracy and violating the terms of their PRCS, authorities reported. They are currently being held on a no bail status, due to their PRCS violations.
Both are scheduled to appear in court at 1:30 p.m. Thursday.

The Toledo Rockets! The Air Force Falcons! The Mlitary Bowl! If this doesn't sound like the most exciting thing in the world based on names alone, I don't know what could. Toledo's offense has been exciting this year, and we'll get to see a MAC defense try to stand in the way of an option run attack, so things are looking up around here.
@GazetteAirForce Source: Air Force will play Toledo in Military Bowl
However: Do not call it The Military Bowl. You will refer to it by it's full name, The Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman. You will show the Military Bowl the respect it deserves.
Of course, you might remember it as the EagleBank Bowl as well. Regardless, it will be played Wednesday, December 28 at 4:30 p.m. and likely feature an ACC school versus a Conference USA school. The game will be televised on ESPN.
There have been three previous games played, each featuring different teams. Last year, Maryland defeated East Carolina 51-20.
Game date, time: 4:30 pm ET, Wednesday, December 28
Location: RFK Stadium, Washington, D.C.
TV channel: ESPN
2010 winner and loser: Maryland 51 - East Carolina 20

I hear voters also may be deciding whether or not to recall Gov. Schwarzenegger soon. If so, could be a lot of fun watching all those whiny Terminator wannabes go after poor Arnold because he's neither wimpy nor girly-girly. Of course nobody -- not a single citizen among us here in Mainstream America -- will be examining Palin's and Schwarzenegger's competence, judgment and integrity when deciding how to mark our ballots.

I can't say that I'm encouraging my daughter to have five children and work full time. I wonder if the Palin children and Levi are really enjoying being front and center for the Republican party.

Shelbyville Daily Union
---- — Shelbyville tennis lost to Mattoon on Monday, 7-2. However, the Streaking #1 Ram doubles team got the upset.
"The #1 doubles team won!" said Ram coach Ryan Scott. "We beat Mattoon #1 doubles, which will most likely be ranked #1 in sectionals. They have been playing so well this year and went to state last year."
Half of that streaking doubles pair, Alexis Halbrook, also won another singles match. She beat her doubles opponent in #3 singles, 6-3, 7-6, for the only other Ram win on the day.

A new state law would require school districts to provide CPR classes for high school students.
Two Marietta boys have already proven that young people can save a life just by knowing CPR. Rocky Hurt, 9, and Ethan Wilson, 10, were able to talk Susanna Rohn through the CPR that saved her baby's life.
One boy coached her through CPR, while the other one waited on an ambulance.
Mom performed CPR and her son Isaiah let out a loud cry and began breathing again.
Michael Privette is executive vice president of the American Heart Association in metro Atlanta.
"When given the right training, [CPR] can make the difference in survival and so what we want is that every student in the state of Georgia is trained to be a hero in their community," said Privette.
The non-profit drafted a bill that would require all Georgia high schools to give their students the same training that Rocky and Ethan received.
"Many of our neighboring states have already done that. In Alabama and North Carolina, students are already being trained in CPR before they graduate," Privette said.
The law will not require students to get CPR certification or teachers to be certified instructors, but Privette says it's all about raising awareness.
"Awareness is enough. There's no wrong way to do CPR. If you can get in there and press hard and fast on their chest, that can make the difference in someone surviving. A little CPR is better than no CPR," Privette said.
The bill requiring CPR instruction at every Georgia high school has already passed the Senate. Sponsors say they expect it to make its way to the floor of the House next week.

People use social media to browse, to get inspiration, and, increasingly to buy. And when they buy, they buy big.
With 80% of U.S. adults shopping online these days, e-commerce has undoubtedly transformed shopping habits, fueled disruptive companies and changed the world.
With the rise of social media, social commerce—e-commerce that involves social media—has exploded, with Facebook and Pinterest leading the way. But is social traffic valuable and hence worth the investment by e-commerce companies? We say a qualified yes. In sampling revenue data from some of the e-commerce sites that Science has incubated, we discovered that the value of each social traffic transaction is higher than that of e-mail and search traffic.
E-mail and search outperformed social in conversion and yield (revenue/visit), with our results similar to a report from web marketing firm Monetate, which came in at .59% for social compared to 4.25% and 2.49% for e-mail and search in the second quarter of 2012. However, the value of social was greater. Social has about a $10 edge on e-mail and more than $25 in search (40% and 250% respectively!).
We also discovered that some social media sites are better than others at converting social traffic into monetary transactions. Comparing Facebook to Pinterest, the two largest social media sites to date, the driver of higher transaction value is Pinterest.
Pinterest has captured a lot of media attention recently as a driver of traffic to e-commerce sites. BizRate's study revealed that 70% of Pinterest users use the site to "get inspiration on what to buy." Monetate found that referral traffic from Pinterest was up 2535% year over year and now makes 26% of all social traffic, compared to to 1% at the end of 2011.
The hype is deserved, to a certain degree. Pinterest's conversion rate, as per our data, is the lowest across all traffic sources. Despite having the lowest conversion, it has the highest revenue/transaction, $54.09, almost 5x that of search and more than double that of e-mail and even Facebook.
Optimizing Pinterest referrals can bring in valuable customers. So while the excitement over Pinterest has yet to turn into high yields, there is real potential for Pinterest to be a valuable marketing tool for e-commerce businesses.
Search and e-mail traffic remain dominant but social traffic must be a key part of any future e-commerce strategy. People use social media to browse, to get inspiration, and, increasingly to buy. And when they buy, they buy big.

Brize Norton school governor gets national role
5:30pm Saturday 25th January 2014 in News
THE chairman of governors at a West Oxfordshire primary school has become the first in the county to be picked for a national governor role.
Shane Rae, the chairman of Brize Norton Primary School's governors, was one of only 100 governors in the UK to be appointed to the role of National Leader of Governance (NLG) by the National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL), which is part of the Department for Education (DfE).
The aim is to support other governor chairmen to improve governance and school performance.
Mr Rae said: "Governors in many ways form the backbone of education in the UK. It is fantastic to be recognised nationally for the work that has been done here locally in Oxfordshire.
"In my work I hope to have the opportunity to show other local authorities how successful partnerships, like the Burford Partnership, can be replicated in their area."
Mr Rae is also an elected member of the Oxfordshire Schools forum and a Primary Education Strategist at Oxford University Press.
Charlie Taylor, chief executive of the National College for Teaching and Leadership, said: "High quality governance is vital for improving school performance and it is great that chairs of governors like Shane are willing to step up and look beyond their own school in order to help others who will benefit from their support."

ACCOMACK COUNTY, VA. - Virginia State Police report two fires in Accomack
County on Thursday night.
Authorities say the first blaze broke out around 11:55 PM Thursday night on
the 36600 block of Seaside Road in Painter, Virginia.
Officials say, through preliminary investigations, the fire is being determined
as arson and part of the ongoing investigation of the 75 arsons that have
ravaged the county.
Virginia State Police and Accomack Sheriff's Department continue to ask the
public to provide any tips and/or information to the HOTLINE at (757)655-1437. There
continues to be a $25,000.00 reward for information that leads to an arrest and
conviction of the arsonist.
In a turn of events, Virginia State Police also report a second fire
Thursday night, this one on the 37300 block of Dreadnaught Drive in
Greenbackville, that has also been ruled arson. However, officials have
determined this fire is not linked to the string of arsons.
Officials say the fire broke out around 6:12 PM and was a one story single
family home that is occupied, as opposed to the normally abandoned structures
targeted by the arsonists.
Investigators say the fire originated in a mulch bed by the front steps and
the fire was contained there. According to reports, there was no one at the
home at the time of the fire and there was minimal damage.

"The administration was very helpful and accomodating; they were quite friendly which made the experience that much more enjoyable."
"Program was hands on/practical exams; Instructors were approachable and answered all questions; enjoyed the classes."
(Berlin Students, 2012)
My time studying international mediation, negotiation, and arbitration in Berlin was invaluable. The program was thoughtfully created and executed, and the professors were not only accomplished practitioners, but also gifted teachers. I especially appreciated the mix of theoretical discussions and practical applications as well as the diverse student body. Berlin, and especially Humboldt University, was a fascinating place to study. I would highly recommend this program to others.
(Vanessa Rodriguez, Berlin '11, Tulane Law School '13)
"[The thing I liked the most was the] broad spectrum of all views on Negotiation and Mediation."
"The benefit was found in the hands-on exercises with students from all over the world. The courses were well designed..."
"[The part I liked the most was the] hands-on small-group work."
(Berlin Students, 2013)
"The practical exercises were very helpful and insightful; especially the deconstruction after each session."
"I enjoyed meeting and talking to students from around thew world - I definietely benefitted from that. I also look forward to implementing some of the skills I learned."
(Berlin Students, 2013)
"It was a very beneficial topic and I feel I have already begun to see benefits of the program."
"I would strongly recommend this program to other students and practitioners, because this program provides a very good base and a lot of information on dispute settlement. The above program provided me with new opportunities for future, since it dealt with alternative dispute resolution in practice. The program put me in the right direction as regards to my professional choices and expanded the fields of academic interest that I should be aware about in the future. The list provided me a good communication list for any future contact."

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
There's more to Moscow's Red Square than the Kremlin, Saint Basil's Cathedral, and Lenin's tomb—for more than a century, it's been home to GUM (short for Gosudarstvennyi Universalnyi Magasin, or Main Universal Store in English), Russia's gigantic three-level, glass-domed department store, which celebrated its 120th anniversary last night.
GUM has had a long and often starry line of admirers over its century-plus in business. Tolstoy and Tchaikovsky bought their Patek Philippe watches there. It has survived closures (and opponents, like Stalin, who reportedly hated it), but has always come back. Ten years ago, Bosco di Ciliegi took over the monumental store and restored GUM's nearly 300,000 square feet to its nineteenth-century splendor. That 19th century splendor is now home to some very 21st century luxury brands, including Dior, Hermès, Giorgio Armani, and Louis Vuitton. Tiffany & Co. is set to arrive next year.
Much of the media coverage has centered on the fate of the giant Vuitton trunk that the label erected out in the Red Square, where the brand was planning to house its Soul of Travel exhibition. After protests from the Kremlin, it is now being dismantled and removed. (Vuitton plans to hold the exhibition elsewhere as soon as possible.) But the political brouhaha didn't dampen GUM's birthday mood. The retail center set up a rustic outdoor Christmas fair and staged a period costume party on its Red Square ice rink, which recalled the days of the tsars. Guests sipped hot mulled wine in the snow and snacked on Russian dumplings and crepes with salmon. Revelers even had the chance to mint their own GUM anniversary coins before indulging in the mammoth birthday cake and taking to the ice where a brass band played.
As the fashion on offer in Moscow remains alarmingly pricey due to Russia's notably high import tax, the best luxury bet at GUM may be the store's legendary ice cream. Despite the frigid temperatures, there were hordes of people waiting in line for some of the frozen treats. As Winston Churchill once put it, "You cannot defeat a nation that enjoys ice cream at minus-40 degrees C."

In some ways, the LSU-Tennessee game has been relatively even. Both teams have seven first downs, Tennessee has a modest advantage in total offense (175-161) and LSU's edge in time of possession is only three minutes. But they only count points in college football, and the Tigers have a 17-7 lead as the teams go to the locker room.
Some of LSU's yardage doesn't show up in the total offense category -- most notably an 89-yard interception return that set up the Tigers' first touchdown. And Tennessee quarterback Matt Simms hasn't helped things by tossing that interception and another to help LSU hang onto the lead.
Jarrett Lee has continued his reclamation story for LSU, going an efficient 9-of-13 for 98 yards and two touchdowns. Spencer Ware's 31 yards on 10 carries lead LSU, and Ware also has a catch for a touchdown. Tauren Poole has 53 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries for the Vols.
For more on the Volunteers, go to Tennessee blog Rocky Top Talk. More on Les Miles and his always-interesting football team is at LSU blog And The Valley Shook.

Lessons from Lanie: Life lived aloud
I didn't know Lanie Kruszewski. But I really wish I had.
A memorial service was held for her on Aug. 3; mourners packed the auditorium of Maggie Walker Governor's School, where Lanie had attended high school. Even though I arrived just a few minutes late, I was obliged to stand in the lobby, for the seats and the standing room inside the auditorium had been occupied, I surmised, long before. Even so, I couldn't miss the many stories told of a remarkable and memorable young woman.
I write fiction, and it occurred to me that her friends were describing a true heroine, someone culled from a vivid imagination. I already knew that Lanie was fiercely intelligent and a gifted athlete. But as I stood there listening, Lanie took shape before me, as an intriguing character of literature might.
She was a culinary school-trained foodie with a penchant for bacon, lavender ice cream, ear-shaped cookies and fresh ingredients, and moreover, she liked to share. She possessed a sassy spirit, with the wit to carry it off. She didn't have a driver's license or a car, preferring the freedom and earth-friendliness of a bike. She touched people of all walks of life with her positivity and joie de vivre. She had great legs. She knew who she was, even at the age of 24.
Lanie also enjoyed reading. And this doesn't surprise me in the least, for I know her mother Patty. I'm not sure if it was when my firstborn was still in the womb or right after his birth when Patty gave me The Read-Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease. The book touts the importance of reading aloud to children, basically from the moment of conception straight through the high school years. And knowing Patty and her mothering ways, I took it to heart, feeling guilty if I ever missed even one day of read-alouds.
I have always looked up to Patty, both as a mother and a writer. And these words that we both admire, the written thoughts that we endeavor to put to the page, have failed me in the face of this tragedy. There is only a gaping white silence in which words float as aimlessly as dandelion fluff.
Often in the face of grief, I turn to the escape of reading. During the memorial service, I learned that Lanie was a Harry Potter fan, to put it mildly. I too am quite the Harry Potter fan. Patty would be proud to know that I read all of the Harry Potter books to my firstborn. Years of his formative childhood were spent reading to him about the enduring friendships of child wizards, their school Hogwarts, and the battle between good and evil. When we finished the seventh and final installment, we both experienced a sort of mourning period. What book would ever match such brilliance?
Such grief isn't an unusual emotion for me at the completion of novels. I get attached to the characters; I want them to live forever within the bound pages of the book, so that all I have to do is just pick it up again to find out what happens next. When I finished writing my first novel, I couldn't let my characters go. And now, I am almost done with the sequel. What next? I ask myself. I hate to contemplate moving on, for I fear their stories aren't yet finished.
But books aren't meant to go on indefinitely. They are exquisitely brief, like lavender ice cream and chocolate-covered bacon, and unfortunately, life itself. And yet, the best heroines inspire us and bring out the best in us. They live on inside us, even after their stories end.
Lanie's life was brutally taken from us. Unfairly, her story ended before its time. But it doesn't matter to those whose lives she touched.
We will continue to turn her pages, because I, for one, have decided to embrace each day as Lanie did. And I will encourage everyone around me to do the same—to not be afraid to peel back life's flimsy plastic covering and reveal the mysterious, to travel where their legs can take them, to enthusiastically sample the juicy and fresh and untried, to read, to be kind and share and make a difference.
I am now reading the Harry Potter books to my second-born, and much to my delight, my first-born insists on listening too.
Great stories find themselves repeated. Women like Lanie will live on.

The days when a publisher held absolute sway over the fate of your precious manuscript are gone. Self-publishing has arrived, and is here to stay. The common man can now have a hand in his own destiny as a writer, designer, artist, or photographer.
This book will never reach the heady atmosphere of a top ten book list, in any country, but it might make the top ten in our family. Even that will be a triumph...believe me!
These images are a kind of celebration, to mark my first year as a serious amateur photographer. A kind of benchmark, so as I have something to measure against in the future.
I have taken photography to my heart, I have been inspired, and I would love to inspire others.

ST. PETERSBURG -- Nick Markakis has been on fire in his first stint as the Orioles' leadoff hitter, entering Saturday with a .359 average, six doubles, two homers, 15 runs scored and five RBIs in 21 games since returning from the disabled list and moving atop the order.
The right fielder didn't slow down on Saturday, drawing a nine-pitch walk against Jeremy Hellickson to open the game before scoring on a Matt Wieters single. The next inning, Markakis' two-out single plated Nate McLouth to put Baltimore up, 2-0, and he drew his second walk of the game in the top of the fourth.
It's been impressive, particularly considering Markakis -- who had surgery in late May to remove a broken portion of the hamate bone in his right wrist -- still isn't 100 percent.
"It definitely doesn't feel normal," Markakis said of his wrist, which forced him to the DL for the first time in his career. "But we knew that going into the surgery, and post-surgery, [I'm] probably going to feel some soreness and tightness the rest of the year. But, it's good, and I'm getting my strength back there."
Markakis said he hasn't changed his approach since moving into the leadoff spot, but he has been more aggressive, which is something he wanted to do regardless of where he hits. The 28-year-old Markakis has raised his average more than 30 points since returning and said he doesn't care where he is in the order, with opposing pitchers' approach against him the same regardless.
"There's a lot of different ways to look at leadoff," manager Buck Showalter said. "I just told Nick to be himself. I don't want him to start flaring balls. If Nick gets a good pitch to handle, he's going to turn on it. I don't want him to be anything but him. I think he's handled it well.
"I actually thought a little bit today about moving him out of there because Nate has had a lot of experience leading off, but I want him to get his feet on the ground a little bit, not throw too much at him early on. I really like what Nick's doing for us, leading off."
McLouth made his Orioles debut on Saturday night from the seven-hole, and should Showalter test the veteran outfielder at leadoff, Markakis would likely slide back to second, where he has 1,188 career at-bats.
O's designate Chavez, add McLouth to roster
ST. PETERSBURG -- Seeking to bolster their outfield -- while protecting against the risk of losing Nate McLouth -- the Orioles selected McLouth's contract prior to Saturday's 4-0 win over the Rays and started the 30-year-old veteran in left field.
"Nate's been doing well down there [at Triple-A Norfolk]," manager Buck Showalter said of the move, which also involved designating veteran Endy Chavez for assignment. "Endy will end up on his feet shortly. I know [executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette] is going to explore some things with him, and we'll go from there.
"Nate, I think everybody was in agreement that we wanted to take a look at him up here and see if he could bring some things. He's been doing well down there. He's obviously an experienced guy and somewhat younger."
McLouth provided an immediate spark, doubling to right-center field in the second inning during his first at-bat with the O's. He scored Baltimore's second run of the game on Nick Markakis' two-out single and finished with a pair of hits in four at-bats.
McLouth signed with the Orioles on June 5, five days after he was let go by the Pirates, and the two sides agreed to push back the outfielder's original opt-out date to Friday at midnight ET. He hit .244 with 10 homers and 33 RBIs in 47 games at Norfolk and was informed of the promotion on Friday afternoon and joined the team in St. Petersburg later that evening.
"It's a great opportunity," said McLouth, an All-Star and National League Gold Glove Award winner with Pittsburgh in 2008. "I don't know what my role is going to be. Frankly, I'm just looking forward to whatever it's going to be. [I'm] thankful for the opportunity and excited to get started."
An eight-year veteran, McLouth had his best season in 2008, when he hit .276 with 46 doubles, 26 homers, 94 RBIs and 23 stolen bases. He played with Pittsburgh from 2005-09 and spent nearly three seasons with the Braves. He signed with the Pirates this past offseason and hit .140 in 57 at-bats before being designated for assignment and later released.
"I started off kind of rough," McLouth said of his time with Norfolk. "Rough in the sense that I just wasn't getting any hits. I felt comfortable; I have felt comfortable in my approach, especially the last month. ... I just got to a point where I detached my feelings from the result of the at-bat and just focused on the process of the at-bat. And I think that's the best way to go. I'm really comfortable with where I'm at."
"Nate McLouth was going to be in the big leagues today or tomorrow with somebody," added Showalter. "We had been asked about him. We feel like with [Triple-A manager] Ron Johnson down there and [bench coach] John Russell's knowledge of Nate and our knowledge where Endy was and what have you, we wanted to take a look at him."
Chavez batted just .190 with a .222 on-base percentage in 47 games this season with Baltimore, his fourth club since 2008. The 34-year-old tallied two home runs and eight RBIs in 121 at-bats and twice landed on the disabled list.
The Orioles are exploring potential trades for Chavez, given that if he clears waivers it's unlikely he would consent to playing at Triple-A.
Right-hander Jason Hammel is about a week and a half from throwing off a mound, according to Showalter. Hammel has been throwing off flat ground at home in Rhode Island. Hammel, who is recovering from right knee surgery and hopes to be back in early September, is a bit ahead of schedule and will head to the O's Spring Training complex in Sarasota, Fla., once he's ready to throw off a mound.
Nick Johnson, out with a right wrist injury, is at home in California, not in extended spring camp, while reliever Stu Pomeranz, sidelined with a left oblique injury, threw off flat ground on Saturday. The Orioles won't come right out and say it, but Johnson -- on the 60-day DL -- is probably done for the season.
Brian Roberts' right hip surgery, which was performed on Thursday, went as planned. Doctors found what they were expecting to, and the timetable for the infielder's recovery remains four to six months.

The spotlight in Denver is squarely on Peyton Manning, arguably the offseason's most important acquisition. That makes it easy to forget that the Broncos made a number of key veteran additions in the spring, especially on defense. We heard adding depth at cornerback was a focal point for Denver, and they signed free agents Tracy Porter and Drayton Florence, and drafted Omar Bolden.
Porter will start opposite Champ Bailey, and the ex-Saint spoke to PFW following the Broncos' preseason opener against the Bears about what he has learned from the future Hall of Fame corner.
"Let the game come to you," Porter said. "You already have good feet, so continue playing with great technique and always discipline yourself to maintain that technique and let the game come to you and everything else will take care of itself."
Porter said he wanted to improve on that idea and his experienced teammates have been assisting him.
"Being under Champ, being under Drayton, those guys have been in the league combined, what, 24 years? That's a ton of experience right there," he said. "I felt myself being overly anxious to get out there on the field and want to make plays instead of just doing my job and being under control. That's something I found myself not doing in New Orleans."
Porter comes to Denver with four seasons of experience, 39 starts, 32 passes defensed and seven interceptions in his career. With Jack Del Rio leading the Broncos' defense and allowing it to be more aggressive, Porter explained what that does to his role at corner.
"By being aggressive and guys going after the quarterback more, we have to hone in that much more on our technique on covering these guys," he said. "They say the average play lasts about six seconds, but we may have to do it for six-and-a-half or seven seconds so those front guys can get after the quarterback."
Denver finished 18th against the pass last season and 22nd against the run. There are still questions about the front seven's ability to stop the run, and the secondary will need to be ready. On the Bears' fourth offensive play, RB Michael Bush had bounced outside, only to be stopped by Porter for a one-yard gain.
"It knocked the cobwebs out. It was my first contact in a little while and a play I had to make," Porter said. "If I didn't make it, it would have been a long run."
While Porter talks about learning from veterans Bailey and Florence, he brings experience to the defense of what it means to play defense for a blue-chip quarterback. Porter compared playing with Drew Brees to his new teammate, Manning.
"To me, it's the same. You have another first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback with another high-powered offense. Those guys will be the focal point. We just have to go out on defense and do our job," he said. "There's no added pressure. In fact, it makes it good for us because we have a quarterback and an offense that can put points on the board. We'll be playing with the lead more times than not, and it's our job to keep the lead and get those guys the ball as much as possible."
Now, Porter's job is to get the ball back to Manning, whom he famously took the ball away from with an interception returned for a touchdown in Super Bowl XLIV.

Femme by Rochas is the best! I have worn this classic for years, and I just keep falling in love with it over and over again! It is sweet with candied fruit, slightly musky, and an incredible drydown of creamy woods. This is woman at her finest!

I love this scent. Even though I characterized it as oriental/spicy in the options above, it is appropriate to wear any time. It is not overpowering or too sweet. I wear this scent all the time and am constantly getting compliments about how great it smells.

Ideally I think I would do this as a poll, but since I'm new to SCN blogging, this will have to do. This post is intended to capture information in it's most compressed form. I have another post for collecting stories. Please check that one out as well!
In this post I'm looking for your abbreviated path to SAP.
Typical path
Bachelor's --> Master's --> Entry Level Job ( 2 years) --> Entry Level SAP job ( 2 years) --> SAP Support Job (2 years, started 2010) --> Trained by company --> SAP Certification --> Hired! (2012) --> SAP Consultant
Other path examples
Bachelor's --> Entry Level Job (4 years) --> Entry Level SAP job (3 years) --> SAP Support Job (2 years, started 2010) --> Trained by company --> SAP Certification --> Hired! (2012) --> SAP Consultant
Bachelor's --> Master's --> Entry Level Job ( 2 years) --> Earned CPA --> Entry Level SAP job ( 4 years) --> SAP Support Job (1 years, started 2010) --> Paid for my own training nights/weekends --> SAP Certification --> Hired! (2012) --> SAP Consultant
Entry Level Job ( 4 years) --> Various jobs with same company increasing responsibility (16 years) --> SME on SAP project initial install (2 years, started 2008) --> SAP Support Job (2 years, started 2010) --> Trained by company --> not SAP Certified
My path
Bachelor's --> Master's --> Entry Level Job (4 years) --> Hired! (1998) --> Junior SAP Consultant --> SAP Certification (1999,2004,2010)
What was your path?
Don't forget to tell your story in detail if you like!
Best regards,
nice blog :-)
Bachelor's --> Master's --> Entry Level Job (IT Consultant non SAP ,4 years) --> Hired --> SAP functional (4Y)
Hi Thomas
Great idea and mine is Bachelor (Major in Marketing) ->Grocery Business (7 years) ->SAP Consulting (14 years)
Wasn't sure how to put it but I took 5 weeks of SAP training and got certified as soon as I joined the SAP Consulting company in 1998.
All in all it is pretty obvious I took a non-standard way to SAP (ie Marketing/Grocery)
Hi ,
My path is a small one
Bachelor's --> Campus recruit --> SAP Basis(1 Yr 9 months )
Degree in Classics (Greek & Latin) -> graduate recruitment into Esso Petroleum, Database Support Group (IMS) -> 1st task write backup & recovery system for monster project, which turned out to be R/2 4.1d implementation -> never looked back :-)
Associate Degree in IT ---> SAP ABAP Training (got the training through employer) ---> Development Consultant(Major in SAP area)
It is interesting to read the many ways people make it into SAP, as for me my story so far is pretty short, with only 3 months in SAP
Bachelors degree (Economics and Finance)----> Intern SAP Consulting --->Awaiting to write my certification exam...
Bachelor's Animal Science - Pre-vet(1980)-->various laboratory jobs as research tech 6 yrs-->Systems Analyst, Lab automation and Robotics, 5 yrs--> Senior Analyst, Trained while here by company for new SAP system as the IT QM analyst lead, 5 yrs -->independent consultant,1996-present, 16 yrs.

Thanks for getting the ball rolling Mauro! I was a little worried no one would respond for a bit. -td
Hi Jarret,
I'm curious, what did you do in the grocery business for those 7 years? Were you bagging groceries or working in the HR department or did you work your way through multiple departments? There's more to the story, there, I just know it! --td
Kudos to you Pradeep! The saddest phrase I've ever read (and I read it far too often) is: I just graduated college... now what? The secret that many kids in college don't know is that the time to start your job search is long before you've graduated. Most campuses put a lot of effort into getting companies on campus to recruit and far too few undergraduates take advantage of the opportunity. It reflects very well on you that you did. I predict a bright future!
I'm curious, though, did you do any IT work as an undergraduate? Did you work on campus in one of the computer labs or anything? -td
Greek and Latin? Cool! I've always said Basis folks have the most interesting stories!! -td
It was a pleasure! I like reasoning around career and personal development.
Hi Thomas
I actually worked in the grocery business from when I was 16 until 28 in virtually every role and department (ie produce, meat, bakery) though I counted the 7 years above after I graduated from University when I went through a 2 year management trainee program and worked my way up to managing over 100 people and a large grocery store. After a few years I moved on to the corporate office in a variety of roles before getting a timely introduction by a friend and jumping to a SAP consulting company (without any real computer or HR experience). It was a lucky break that wouldnt happen today but in 1998 in SAP HCM/Payroll there was a lot of opportunity. My background has given me a unique perspective and I think help me relate better to customers. Having another a career before SAP has also helped me appreciate what a great job SAP is and it is something many that started right out of college dont fully understand.
So a little more to the story and the grocery business still has a fond place in my heart as I love doing all the family shopping :-)
Wong Chee Mun,
It would be awesome if you could share a little more detail about how you got your first job. Did you work through the campus recruiter? Did you go through a web site? You have quite the jump start on your career! -td
