The list includes networking concepts like social networking, e-commerce, cloud computing, desktop virtualization, web conferencing, etc. These types of work profiles are popular with CCNA graduates.
CCNA is the abbreviation commonly used for Cisco Certified Network Associate. This IT Professional certification is administered by Pearson VUE. The certification enables the certified to establish, fix, configure, function, operate, and troubleshoot networks. Moreover, they are also trained to implement and verify connections in remote sites, carry out basic mitigation techniques of security threats, wireless networking, etc.
The course is comprehensive and integrated and allows the professional to be completely trained in networking. From basic to advanced applications and services, the CCNA certification ensures the certified to be trained in all aspects. In addition to technical knowledge, it also imparts practical experience and basic soft-skill advancement.
The Cisco Certified Network Associate is designed for those who want to master both network related problem solving and analytical skills by studying a comprehensive syllabus in a mix of theoretical, interacting, and practical learning environments.
To attain the certification, one has to clear five steps that include:
* Entry
* Associate
* Professional
* Expert
* Architect
The syllabus revolves around seven subjects. These are:
* Routing and Switching
* Design
* Network Security
* Service Provider
* Storage Networking
* Voice
* Wireless
CCNA Examinations
img CCNATo get the CCNA certificate, the candidate has to either:
* Complete a single exam that includes #640-801, or,
* Complete a two-exam path exam that includes #640-821 (Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies) and #640-811 (Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices).
Luckily, no prerequisites are required for availing CCNA certification. The exam can be conducted in English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Russian, Korean, French, and Portuguese languages.
Where to Get CCNA Training?
Many institutions have cerstified CCNA teachers and trainers who train students on CCNA. This type of school is known as Cisco Networking Academy. The courses are also taught at many collegiate institutions, Cisco 360 Learning Programs, Cisco Learning Partners, and Cisco Learning Network. The CCNA certification is valid for three years and re-certification requires re-taking of exams that were previously completed. Many organizations get trainers from these institutions to help train their staff. Such organizations encourage their staff to follow a study at home routine with occasional lectures and support from professionals. Consequently, many individuals like to study on their own and then register for the exam. Exam centers are located in almost all parts of the world.
CCNA Salary and Job Prospects
The average salary of the CCNA professional in 2004 was $60,000.[1] Of course, salaries range differently as per years of experience, the company itself, and city of work. The most common job titles held by CCNA professionals are network engineer, systems administrator, senior network engineer, network operations, consulting systems engineer, systems engineer, trainer, management, and IT engineer. CCNA professionals have been reported to have great future career prospects, rewarding opportunities and are considered greats assets for any organization.

Science of Weight Loss
How It Works
A FIT Bodywrap is a dual-action system. The first action is caused by the far infrared heat of the FIT Bodywrap. This heat does not make fat leave your body. Instead, the heat from a FIT Bodywrap actually breaks stored fat down and converts it into fatty acids that are used by your muscles for energy. As the FIT Bodywrap heats your body, you begin to sweat to cool down. This sweat is fueled by the energy from the converted fatty acids.
The second gut-busting action is caused by the proprietary FIT Booster mineral spray that you apply before you start your wrap.

Match report
Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata scored doubles as Manchester United's interim manager Ryan Giggs saw his team beat Norwich City 4-0 for a dream start.
Giggs is in interim charge of the Barclays Premier League champions after David Moyes' departure on Tuesday. Taking to the touchline in a club suit, United's longest-serving player looked the part in the role. Sir Alex Ferguson has backed Giggs to take on the job full-time, and the hosts displayed an early intensity of the kind associated with the Scot's reign.
Much of United's first-half work lacked penetration, but Rooney scored a penalty four minutes before half-time and doubled his tally three minutes after the break. Substitute Mata struck twice to complete the scoring, leaving Old Trafford delighted and Norwich placed just a point and a place above the relegation zone with two matches remaining.
Giggs made six changes to the side beaten by Everton last weekend with Mata on the bench and Marouane Fellaini not making the matchday 18. The Welshman was afforded a rapturous reception.
Jonny Howson had the ball in the net for Norwich after David De Gea had fumbled Ricky van Wolfswinkel's ninth-minute header, but the Dutch striker was penalised for a push on Phil Jones.
City's first testing moment came via the United left in the 14th minute when Martin Olsson failed to clear Patrice Evra's searching cross before Danny Welbeck reacted quickest to the loose ball, forcing John Ruddy to save smartly at his near post.
United struggled for fluency but, after Ruddy had beaten a ball from Valencia out of the goalmouth, the Old Trafford crowd was on its feet in the 41st minute as Rooney converted from the spot.
Jones' pass found its way through a crowd of Norwich defenders to Welbeck, who was fouled by Steven Whittaker, and Rooney sent Ruddy the wrong way from the resulting penalty to record a 16th league goal of the season.
Norwich were left with a mountain to climb after the restart when Rooney was allowed to advance unchallenged towards the edge of the area. Despite losing his footing, the England forward's shot curled beyond Ruddy and into the bottom far corner.
Robert Snodgrass was Norwich's standout attacking threat and he tested De Gea with a 58th-minute free-kick, having drawn a foul from Nemanja Vidic, but the game was over as a contest five minutes later. Having saved impressively from Welbeck, Ruddy pushed the ball clear as Rooney sought a hat-trick, but Jones drilled the ball back into the box and Mata converted on the volley.
The Spain midfielder nodded in his second goal after Valencia had smashed a 73rd-minute volley across the area. Substitute Johan Elmander and Bradley Johnson went close and Olsson saw a deflected drive strike the crossbar in a belated Norwich rally, but manager Neil Adams now must face matches against Chelsea and Arsenal in which to secure their top-flight status.
Manchester United interim manager Ryan Giggs: "I picked a team that I thought could win the game. To be honest with you, first half, the tempo probably wasn't as quick as I'd like it to be.
"Maybe that was down to it being a big week, an emotional week, and the lads have trained hard. It took a bit of time for us to get going but the goal came for us at the perfect time and, going in at 1-0, I just said, 'Quicken up the tempo and we'll be okay.' "
"The reception was great. I've walked out of that tunnel so many times in big games and that's the best feeling I've had. I felt 10-foot tall, so proud, and the fan's reaction was great - just like it has been all week.
"Did I sleep last night? No, in a word. Leaving out players was the reason I didn't sleep. It wasn't nice. They're team-mates of mine. I've never had to do it before and I'll continue not enjoying it. That has been the hardest part of this week."
"Honestly, I'm just looking forward to Sunderland now and that's it. That's what my focus and concentration is on. I'm not looking any further ahead than that."
Norwich City manager Neil Adams: "We did really well in the first half and frustrated them but then five minutes before the break they get a penalty. In the second half we were not good enough. We allowed Wayne Rooney too much time and space to get in a shot and we did the same last week against Liverpool when Raheem Sterling scored.
"We had a go after that but it is difficult when you are 2-0 down away from home. We should have done better. We have got two games left and probably have to take points from them [to stay up]."
"Overall, it wasn't good enough but we are still above the [relegation] line. What we can't do is beat ourselves up. We have to believe in ourselves and give everything we have got for the last two games."

After spending two amazing years in Australia at Dr. D Studios ( may it RIP ), I returned to LA a few months ago to join Walt Disney Animation Studios! I have joined the incredibly talented team as a Character Modeler for the upcoming film Wreck-It-Ralph. I am very excited about the film, it is looking to be a great surprise from the Disney name.
In other news, the product of my time at Dr. D was just released into theaters, Happy Feet Two. This was probably the best project I've ever been a part of, and I was very fortunate to share it with such an awesome and fun team at Dr. D Studios.

A Profile in Corruption
By Jacob Laksin

Hastings: American Secrets for Sale?
By Andrew Walden
September 27, 2006
Alcee Hastings' Voting Record
Hastings was born on September 5, 1936 in Altamonte Springs, Forida.
He earned
a BS
degree in zoology and botany from Fisk University in 1958, and a JD
from Florida A&M University in 1963. From 1963-79 he worked as an
President Jimmy
appointed Hastings as a judge
for the Southern District of Florida in 1979. But two years later Hastings
found himself embroiled in a corruption scandal, indicted on charges
of conspiracy to accept a bribe.[1] Despite overwhelming evidence of
his guilt, Hastings was acquitted
by a jury in 1983 because
his alleged accomplice refused to testify (and was incarcerated
as a result). Hastings, meanwhile, claimed
that the charges aginst him were racially motivated.
long after Hastings' acquittal, however, three federal judges took
the unusual step of calling
on the House of Representatives to impeach him on the criminal
report compiled by a special Investigating Committee in 1986 found
clear evidence
that Hastings had covered up his role in the bribery scheme. In
1987 a panel of 27 federal judges recommended
impeachment. The following year, the Democrat-led
House of Representatives voted 413-to-3 to impeach
Hastings on 17
including bribery and perjury. And in 1989
a Democrat-controlled Senate convicted Hastings and removed
him from his judgeship, making him only the sixth
federal judge to be impeached and removed from office in U.S.
1990 Hastings, a Democrat,
to make a political comeback by running for Florida Secretary of
State, but was unsuccessful.
1991 Hastings filed suit
in an effort to overturn his Senate conviction. The following year a federal court
remanded the conviction back to the Senate on a technicality.
defiantly that he was not "afraid of the system," Hastings
asserted that the charges against him were a function of
"institutional racism."
in 1992, Hastings
was elected to represent the overwhelmingly
Democratic, mostly black,
Congressional District of Florida. "I
bring with me the added notoriety of being impeached and removed by
the same body that I now get to serve in," Hastings boasted
at the time. In
January 1993, just before Hastings was sworn in as a congressman, the
Supreme Court ruled
that courts had no authority to review Senate impeachment
upholding Hastings' impeachment.
has been reelected to his House seat every two years since 1992,
though in 2012
his District was reconfigured and renumbered as the 20th.
campaigns have been endorsed
by the Democratic
Socialists of America
(DSA), and he is a member of the Congressional
Black Caucus.
1995 Hastings supported
the "Living Wage, Jobs for All Act" introduced by Rep. Ron Dellums, a DSA
member. Other supporters of this legislation included John
Holmes Norton,
and Nydia
In 2004 Hastings
was the subject
of three
separate ethics
investigations by the House Committee on Standards of
Official Conduct, the Florida Elections Commission, and the Federal
Election Commission.
in 2004, Hastings was elected to a two-year term as Parliamentary
Assembly president
of the Organization for Security and Co-Operation in Europe (OSCE),
an international body that monitors elections in developing
a watchdog group that tracks money in national politics, pointed
in 2004 that Hastings ranked second (after Rep. Douglas Bereuter of

trips he had taken during the preceding ten years. All told, Hastings had taken 57 trips
to 116 countries—at a price tag of over
$152,000, not
including costs for staff or the use of military aircraft. Many
of those trips were made on behalf of the OSCE.

who was paid more than the congressman's chief of staff. Meanwhile, Patricia

paid as much as $129,000 per year. Williams had represented
Hastings in both his 1983
bribery trial and his 1989 impeachment
hearings. Despite having been disbarred
in 1992 for "mishandling client funds," she was still owed between
$500,000 and $1 million in
legal fees by Hastings. A
300-page report published in 2012 by Citizens
for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington
indicated that
Hastings ranked #1 out of 435 House Members in salaries and fees paid to relatives
and/or friends. By that time, Hastings had paid
his girlfriend a total of $622,574.
In the early to mid-2000s,
Hastings denounced
the U.S. War in Iraq as "unjustified." He also accused the Bush
administration of having engaged in the "pre-meditated fabrication
of intelligence" so as to create a pretext for military action. In
addition, Hastings cast votes
against the Patriot
Act and against the warrantless domestic surveillance
of American citizens with suspected terrorism ties.[3]

the execution of Danish cartoonists
who had publicly lampooned the prophet Mohammed, Hastings was sympathetic to
their outrage, saying:
"The cartoons are not only offensive and untrue, they debase the
marketplace of ideas in the name of free speech. This is abhorrent
and should be denounced as such. A responsible press should report
the news, not incite hate or inflame hostility. In this instance, the
publishers of these newspapers have failed miserably on both
counts.... I reject totally the inferences made in these cartoons and
beseech the press to stop running them."
a Washington, DC conference sponsored by the National Jewish
Democratic Council on September 24, 2008, Hastings said:
"If Sarah Palin isn't enough of a reason for you to get over
whatever your problem is with Barack
then you damn well had better pay attention. Anybody toting guns and
stripping moose don't care too much about what they do with Jews and
blacks. So, you just think this through."

March 2010, Hastings defended the Democrats' aggressive approach to
passing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare),
"I wish that I had been there when Thomas Edison made the remark
that I think applies here: 'There ain't no rules around here, we're
trying to accomplish something.' And therefore, when the deal goes
down, all this talk about rules, we make them up as we go along."

The case involved two brothers, Frank and Thomas Romano, who had been
in 1980 on 21 counts of racketeering. Together with
attorney William Borders Jr., Hastings, who presided over the
Romanos' case, hatched a plot to solicit a bribe from the brothers.
In exchange for a $150,000 cash payment, Hastings would return some
$845,000 of their $1.2 million in seized assets after they had served
their three-year jail terms. Taped conversations between Hastings and
Borders confirmed that the judge was a party to the plot
One of the Impeachment
had willfully undermined law enforcement by revealing "highly
confidential information that he learned as the supervising judge on
[a] wiretap." Said the Article: "On the morning of September 6,
1985, Judge Hastings told Stephen Clark, the Mayor of Dade County
Florida, to stay away from Kevin 'Waxy' Gordon, who was 'hot' [wired]
and was using the Mayor's name in Hialeah, Florida. As a result of
this improper disclosure, certain investigations then being conducted
by law enforcement agents of the United States were thwarted and
ultimately terminated."
Concerning the latter, Hastings claimed
that "President Bush unilaterally authorized a secret domestic
spying program, illegally ignoring the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act (FISA) and the general public's civil rights." But in fact, the Bush administration had
consulted with Democratic legislators before enacting the program,
which did not violate FISA.

There was this big, respected university with an iconic legend as its football coach.
School officials knew this back in 1998 and covered it up.
They chose this "humane" route of covering up, turning their backs and protecting themselves rather than kids for more than a decade as boys went on being raped in the campus showers and on football trips. They did this because it benefited them, was easier for them and protected what they valued most — the football program.
Penn State should get death penalty- http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefootball/story/penn-state-should-lose-football-privileges-dealth-penalty-in-wake-of-freeh-report-child-sex-abuse-071212 [2]
The author goes on to say that she believes the football program needs to come to an end at this time, partly because it will send a strong message to other schools and institutions. She also says "A big reason this was allowed to happen was because the whole economy of Penn State was football. If you take that away, they might learn."

Carr Fuels Bulldogs In Comeback Win vs. Broncos
Final Stats | Quotes | Photo Gallery
Sept. 20, 2013
By Jason Clay
By Jason Clay
Down 40-34 with 7:04 left in the game, Carr engineered a 13-play, 87-yard drive over four minutes and 50 seconds to get the Bulldogs in the end zone. He completed 8-of-11 passes on the drive for 63 yards and running back Josh Quezada finished it with a one-yard game-winning touchdown run.
"It means a lot because of just how good of a program they are," Carr said of the meaning of beating Boise State. "What a great win for our school, what a great win for our community. It was phenomenal."
With the win, Fresno State improves to 3-0 for the first time since 2004 and starts out 1-0 in Mountain West play. The Bulldogs did so by grinding out a hard fought game, similar to the season-opening victory over Rutgers when the 'Dogs came back from two fourth-quarter deficits before winning in overtime.
"I can't say enough about the resolve of the guys in that locker room," head coach Tim DeRuyter said. "They never lose faith in each other, they trust each other, they love each other and when you do that you can do some tremendous things. We've got some tremendous athletes, but that glue that we have is special."
Carr threw for 460 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions. With his fifth career 400-yard passing game, he set new school and Mountain West records for 400-yard passing games in a career. He also extended his nation-leading streak of consecutive games with a touchdown pass to 23.
Fresno State had 522 yards of total offense and scored 40 or more points for the eighth time in their last nine games. Boise State's offensive numbers were better on this night, going for 561 yards on 100 plays.
"I did not know they ran 100 plays, but I guess that explains why I am so exhausted," said free safety Derron Smith, who had six tackles and an interception in the game. "With the offense that we run, the defense is going to have to keep playing a lot of snaps on the field."
The most important snap was Boise State's last of the game. Facing a fourth-and-six on the Bulldog 49-yard line with a minute to go, Fresno State senior Jonathan Norton knocked the ball out of Kirby Moore's hands for the fourth-down stop to preserve the victory.
"We were playing a coverage that bringing John Norton in as our nickel guy - you know he is such a competitor and just earned a scholarship this summer and is a great guy on and off the field, one of those glue guys and people outside of this team probably don't realize that he is one of the reasons this team is so close," DeRuyter said. "To see him make that play, it was huge. I was just really happy for him."
Bulldog junior linebacker Karl Mickelsen had a team-high 16 tackles, the most by a Bulldog since Ben Jacobs had 16 stops in a triple overtime loss at Texas A&M in 2007. Fresno State forced two turnovers in the game - Smith's pick and Mickelsen also recovered a fumble that was forced by L.J. Jones when the Broncos had the ball on the Fresno State 15-yard line.
Fresno State then took the ball after that recovered fumble and Carr hit Davante Adams on a three-yard touchdown pass to extend Adams' nation-leading streak to 11-straight games with a TD catch.
That gave Fresno State a 34-19 lead with 58 seconds left in the third quarter.
Boise State, led by quarterback Joe Southwick who threw for 313 yards but no touchdowns in the game, proceeded to score 21 unanswered points to put Boise State on top 40-34.
But Fresno State, behind its first sellout crowd since 2008, persevered with the win in its conference opener.
"I don't know what more can be said about it," DeRuyter said of the comeback. "Our guys were all in. You talk about being at the poker table and throwing every chip in and we were all in. To win it in the fashion we did where you are up and down, to finish it the way we did I couldn't be more proud of my team."
"Catch the Wave" - 2013 Fresno State football season tickets are now on sale and can be ordered online at gobulldogs.com or over the phone at 559-278-DOGS (3647). The official home of the Fresno State Bulldogs is 940 AM ESPN Radio.

- Item Build
- Abilities
- Rune, Masteries, and Summoner Spells
- Strategy and Tactics
- Videos
Item Build
Starting Items
- Health Potion
- Hunter's Machete
- Warding Totem (Trinket)
Machete allows you to clear even faster and sustain through the jungle. You need this to convert later into Spirit of the Ancient Golem. Your Q, Twin Bite, applies the Machete damage twice to creeps because it's considered an on-hit effect.
Core Items
- Mercury's Treads
- Spirit of the Ancient Golem
- Vampiric Scepter
Spirit of the Ancient Golem is an amazing item overall. It gives you Health and cooldown reduction for your abilities, which is a great stat on Shyvana. Even though the item provides Mana Regen, it's still cost-effective to buy it on Shyvana due to everything it gives you. Since Shyvana's clear times are already high and SotAG increased them by a %, it makes it even stronger on her.
Mercury's Treads are the choice boots on her since SotAG no longer gives you Tenacity .Ninja Tabi are good versus a heavy ad team as they scale very well into lategame due to its passive component.
The Vampiric Scepter can eventually be converted into a Blade of the Ruined King if you can afford an aggressive item. It will give you insane sustain, considering you are now a manaless champion who can use jungle creeps to heal back to full health.
Endgame Items
Full Game Build
- Mercury's Treads
- Spirit of the Ancient Golem
- Blade of the Ruined King
- Sunfire Cape
- Randuin's Omen
- Locket of the Iron Solari
- Oracle's Lens (Trinket)
This item set will make you very tanky while also dealing good damage. Shyvana's base damage is innately high, which makes Blade of the Ruined King a good choice as the only aggressive item to buy. Your Q will double-proc it, taking away 10% of the target's health with one hit. This item together with Randuin's Omen will also provide you a new form of CC, which Shyvana can really put to good use. Sunfire Cape is a great mixed offensive and defensive item. You will be very tanky, which means you will survive for a long time during teamfights, dealing a lot of dps around you with its passive. Locket of the Iron Solari is a good supportive item to help your team, which can be replaced with other Magic Resist items.
Optional Items
- Spirit Visage
- Thornmail
- Trinity Force
- Banshee's Veil
If you are fed and want more damage you can build Trinity Force on Shyvana. She can use almost all the stats the items gives you, and it will make you even faster. The procs from the Sheen component will hurt squishies as well as tanks and will make you even harder to itemize against.
Spirit Visage and Banshee's Veil are good substitutes for Locket as your Magic Resist item. Banshee's is a great item to build if you have trouble engaging, as it will help you avoid being knocked back after you ult. Spirit Visage is a straightforward overpowered item that will grant you lots of cheap stats.
If you are facing a full AD team or a fed Marksman, Thornmail may be the option you're looking for.

Resale offer accepted, still on the waitlist direct - not sure what to do...
I am a little confused how I should proceed and I need some advice from the experts please. :upsidedow
I had given up on finding the perfect resale contract after months of stalking, waiting and watching. So, I called my DVC guide about 1 1/2 - 2 weeks ago and put us on the waitlist for points direct. Well, I found the perfect resale contract yesterday, made a quick offer and the seller accepted!! I know I still need to go through ROFR, so I don't want to shoot myself in the foot and take myself off the waitlist just for the resale contract to be ROFR'd. But, I also don't want for both to come through miraculously at the same time and me to be having 2 contracts. :rotfl: So, what do I do...?
I'm thinking that I just need to call my guide and tell him to make sure to run it past us before charging my card. I had previously given him the authorization to just go ahead and do it in case he couldn't get a hold of us. Is it weird that I am *slightly* nervous to tell him that I am buying resale? I am just not in the mood to argue about the 'lack of flexibility' thing.
If it were me, I wouldn't call to cancel until after I passed ROFR.
It's unlikely that your VWL waitlist will come through before then since you only got on it about 2 weeks ago. (Didn't your guide tell you there were about 50 people ahead of you?) ;) If it does, you can call your guide at that time and cancel then. It may take a few weeks, but you will get your cc deposit returned. FWIW, I do not believe Disney exercises ROFR just to fill waitlists.
Good luck with ROFR.
I think if the direct wait list comes through, you still have the opportunity to decline the sale. We spoke with a guide and asked this very question. We contemplated buying a direct add on via wait list, but a resale opportunity eventually came up. Patience pays off!
If it were me, I'd keep my name on the wait list because as the PP said it's doubtful the wait list will become available prior to you passing resale ROFR.
I would cancel the direct waitlist.
You don't want to put yourself in a position where DVC ROFRs your resale contract to get the points to you direct! :eek:
I would cancel the direct waitlist. You have not been on it that long and I do not believe they will be adding to it as quickly as before the price increase on all the resorts that caused the rush. If you do get ROFR'd then get back on. And potentially being on it could cause the ROFR.
No need to tell your guide why - just that you would like to cancel.
Thanks for the responses everyone... Still unsure what to do - especially because of what Carol said...
That would be GREAT news if Disney didn't ROFR just to fill the waitlists, because if they did I am positive they would because the demand is so high. I put in a full price offer and it wasn't exactly low compared to the ROFR thread, so I guess we'll see. I don't think I will take myself off the list until I hear back.
One last question though... we pushed the closing back an additional month. I wonder if that has an effect on the ROFR process, or if I will still hear back in the same amount of time from Disney.
This is my first resale process, so I apologize for being so clueless! You can read and research all you want, but until it's your money and stress waiting for an answer - it's a different ball game!
Thanks again!!! :goodvibes
We have seen many times that contracts have passed when people were on the wait list for that specific resort and use year. We just don't know. However, the fact that you are considering resale suggests you are not against the idea. In that case I would not buy direct at all and simply buy resale, even if they ROFR your giraffes attempts. Good luck. :)
But, you are right.... part of me wants to just cancel the waitlist either way. I just don't know that my nerves can take another year or waiting. But, maybe if I run those numbers one more time it may make a difference :rolleyes:
The other factor I would mention is that you are already DVC members.
In that scenario, I would not be in any huge rush to add on direct despite the difficulty in finding exactly what you want in the resale market. You're already in -- why panic and pay a huge premium buying direct?
I would take my time -- whatever time it took. If you get in a time crunch and really need points for a particular vacation, you always have the option of getting a transfer from another DVC owner.

Lions defensive tackle has not finished either of first two seasons due to injuries. Terry McCormick
Nick Fairley says he has dropped about 14 pounds and is playing at around 306 pounds, per the Detroit Free Press.
Fairley's first two seasons with the Detroit Lions have been plagued by injuries and it is possible that his weight and not being in the best condition could have been a contributing factor. He played between 315 and 320 most of that time.
Fairley missed six games as a rookie due to a broken foot and lacked stamina when he returned. Last year, Fairley was out the final three games with a shoulder injury.
"My weight was down and things were going great, and hopefully I'll put it together for all 16 (games) this year." said Fairley, who said he lost weight by eating healthier and doing more cardio work.
Lions coach Jim Schwartz took notice when Fairley reported for training camp.
"He worked very hard in the five weeks, six weeks he was gone," Schwartz said. "Reported in great shape, his weight was down, he just needs to stay on that track. We've talked about how talented he is, but it's been more an availability thing with him rather than a talent thing. He looks like he's taking it very seriously. I'm proud of him for doing it."

text: 4 Very Impressed, great quality, simple to usegrundigtharg | 25/01/2012 | See all grundigtharg's reviews (11)we tried a hauppage but had to send it back due to lines on screen, missing drivers ect ..... so took a gamble with this unit. the best feature is how simple it is to use and it does not need a pc to be connected while your recording. however a decent sized USB stick or external drive is required (there is an option for an internal HD laptop HD) but this means no faffing about with a pc while your playing a game, just press record on the unit or remote ..... its that easy! a slight down side is the file format is AVi, however for around 20 we bought sony vegas 11 HD and this enables editing, conversion and posting to YouTube easilly. there are links on their web site for free versions etc.on the whole a great unit, great quality at 1080i but you will need to buy a decent sized USB stick or drive, dont listen the the hauppage fan boys, this is a decent alternative!

It is a small class so far. Major League Soccer and adidas today announced the preliminary list of 2013 Generation adidas players.
Among the 2013 Generation adidas class are three NSCAA All-Americans: Andrew Farrell, Mikey Lopez and Walker Zimmerman. Joining that group is Jamaican National Team member and Virginia Commonwealth University standout Jason Johnson.
Two more should be added later on in Indiana's Eriq Zavaleta and Central Florida forward Deshorn Brown. Texas-based youth striker Kekuta Manneh has already signed with the league and will be apart of the class as well.
These players will participate in the 2013 adidas MLS Player Combine.

"Toy comes out on top"
Toy Story is a wonderful, strong woman. Surrounded by friends - Cara, Emmie, Flo, Ethan, Bret, the ghost of Ms. Lovie, and Little Lovie - Toy moves through life with strength and purpose. She doesn't let her past or her mistakes weigh her down, but learns to make better choices as she learns through the world of her beloved loggerhead turtles. I was glad to read more of the women I had fallen in love with in "The Beach House."
"Travis McGee lives on!"
It has been more than 25 years since I listened to the original Travis McGee recordings with Darren McGavin narrating. First, I had forgotten how much I really enjoyed them. I also didn't think that anyone but McGavin could do them justice, but Robert Petkoff was superb. And I also learned why I like Lee Child's Jack Reacher series so much. He and Travis McGee have a great deal in common. Even though the Deep Blue Good-Bye was written in 1965 - before cell phones and technology - it is a wonderfully suspenseful read. Travis a salvage specialist and beachbum, living in the Florida Keys. He only works when he runs out of money. He is a brute and a romantic. He has soft spot for the underdog and an absolute sense of right and wrong. He is wonderful. A truly good author and book will last forever. Travis McGee lives on.
"Outstanding Reader!!!!!!!"
The narrator, Katherine Kellgren, was fantastic! Her Irish brogue plus her portrayal of all characters was outstanding. Some books must be listened to, not read, and this is one of them. I don't usually like "otherworldly" stories, but this one was a cut above. I cannot wait to reach Book 3 and the final destruction of Coven.
I don't usually like "otherworldly" stories, but this one was a cut above. I cannot wait to reach Book 3 and the final destruction of Coven.
"Pick Yourself Up and Dust Yourself Off"
Three women from different lives and backgrounds lose everything they have. Together, different though they are, they must band together to protect and rebuild the only asset any of them has. What a journey! Mother Maddie, Worker Avery, and High Flyer Nicole couldn't be more different. What a wonderful adventure to watch them work together as they are joined by other characters to rebuild Bella Flora .... and their own lives.
"Beth Hoffman does it again!"
Wow! I didn't think Beth Hoffman could top Saving CeeCee Honeycutt, but she did. What a powerful story.
"What a whiny twit!"
Quinn Barton is perhaps the weakest, whiniest, most ridiculous character I have ever read. I have enjoyed so many of Beth Harbison's books, that this one was a real disappointment. On no planet would this brother vs. brother vs. female lead ever ring true or be accepted by any thinking reader. But it's the wishy washy back and forth that is really too much to take. If not for the wonderful voice of Orlagh Cassidy, this book would have been completely worthless.
"The South has never been more glorious!"
Ceecee Honeycutt is an incredible person. Even with all the hard knocks in her life, she still manages to keep her youthful perspective on life ... and the wonderfully eccentric women of Savannah. All of Ceecee's relationships are wonderful, but especially her love for Oletta Jones, her aunt's cook. The scenes between the two of them are wonderful. Especially when Ceecee tells Oletta that she loves her. Having lived in the South my entire life, I was thrilled to reacquaint myself with those magical women who live there. It truly is a whole other culture (as they say here) and I was glad to revisit it. Can't wait to read Hoffman's next book, also read by Jenna Lamia. What a great Southern accent!
"I want to cook for people!"
It's always a wonderful feeling when you stumble across a new author. What a delightful read. Yes, it was a bit predictable, but I found the characters that Gemma cooked for to be quirky and delightful. Where else could you run over a peacock and still laugh yourself silly? Of course, it was easy to figure out where the story was going, but the ride to the destination was still fun. Can't wait to read the next Beth Harbison in my library!
"What happened to Josh?"
I have enjoyed so many of Elin Hilderbrand's books and was looking forward to this one. It was initially easy to get wrapped up in the characters: Vicky and her cancer, Brenda and her legal troubles, Melanie and her husband's infidelity. But as the story went on, I got tired of Vicky's inability to connect with her husband, Melanie's use of Josh, and Brenda's gagging whining (albeit to herself) about the troubles that she had brought on herself. She was certainly my least favorite character. I really thought Walsh deserved better. But the thing that disturbed me the most was the ending. We are brought up to date about Vicky, Brenda, and Melanie, but what happened to Josh - the most important character in the book? That's what I really want to know.
"Lovely story though unrealistic!"
I have listened to Therese Plummer read several series. She never disappoints. One of my favorite readers.
A wedding takes place choreographed by the dead mother. I couldn't help but be drawn into the lives of the characters in A Beautiful Day. But I found the slavish devotion to Beth Carmichael's "notebook" outlining her youngest daughter's wedding a bit farfetched. I'm not sure how a mother dictates from the grave nor do I understand the daughter's unwillingness to stray from her mother's instructions on the most important day of her life. The characters were wonderful, especially Margo, but the influence of the "notebook" was unrealistic, at best.

Battling publisher THQ enjoyed a rare surge in its share price on Thursday as hundreds of thousands of gamers rushed to buy its discounted games collection online.
The Humble THQ Bundle, which launched yesterday, gives customers the option to pay as little as $1 for a comprehensive collection of PC games. The package of titles includes Metro 2033, Darksiders, Red Faction: Armageddon, Company of Heroes, Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor.
Though the lowest possible payment for all these titles is $1, the average contribution so far has been $5.72. As a bonus, those who pay above the average price will also receive a copy of Saints Row: The Third.
At the time of going to press, the bundle has made around $2 million from nearly 350,000 purchases, though not all of this will go to THQ. Buyers can decide how much of their cash goes to the publisher, how much goes to charity, and whether the Humble Bundle's organisers should receive a tip.
Nevertheless, Wall Street has responded positively to the Bundle's strong sales momentum and proliferation of THQ's most important IP. The publisher's share price, which in recent weeks had threatened to sink under the $1 mark, jumped 38 per cent to $1.49.
THQ is facing a number of financial difficulties.
The company defaulted on its loan repayments to lender Wells Fargo, and has until January 15 to meet the bank's conditions.
In early November, THQ announced a net loss of 21 million, adding to a now infamously long list of financial setbacks at the uDraw publisher.
It has also delayed three upcoming games: South Park, Metro Last Light and the next Company of Heroes.

Welcome to part two of my four-part (part one) ESC 2010 blog series. Today's topic: shifts in the industry. One of the biggest trends I observed at the show was the start of a paradigm shift in the evolution of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software companies and their products.
EDA software companies have traditionally provided the software tools and services to create modern day semiconductors, but there has been a change in the way consumers look at hardware. Software apps have recently been tied directly with new hardware and there are two camps of development methodologies.
The iPhone model (hardware-driven) has a single hardware platform tied to an OS (operating system) but widely distributes the SDK (software-development kit) for anyone to develop apps for Apple's revolutionary platform. The other method is employed by Google's Android OS (application-driven) which dictates basic hardware requirements (multi-platform), but the core software (the OS and applications) are completely open source. Both of these methods foster "homegrown" development in the application arena, which is increasingly becoming the focus of new platforms.
It never used to be this way. Hardware and software development were almost always independent. Engineers in both labs hardly even spoke to one another—and when they did, they each spoke their own language! The silicon was designed, produced, and then handed over to the software side—often a different company altogether—which took it from there.
Systems integrators are now asking silicon providers to supply parts of the software stack, such as drivers, operating systems, and middleware. With hardware manufacturers developing the software stack, they are providing integrators with a head start for this new app-driven generation of systems, by producing an application-ready platform.
Hardware companies writing software is a game changer for EDA companies that are going to have to innovate and embrace this changing market. EDA companies are no longer being asked to design only gates and transistors; customers want a solution that works with both hardware and software development.
Industry hardware manufacturers, formerly only concerned with EDA for hardware development, now need an all-in-one EDA solution with hardware and software development attributes. They need a flexible EDA tool that enables them to meet customer needs not only for a complete, reliable hardware solution or System on Chip (SoC). but also for basic software – including diagnostics, drivers, operating system, and middleware. In short, they want their familiar EDA product to help them take their hardware concept all the way from silicon through to an app-ready product.
What this means for integrators is that they are going to have software directly tied to and developed by the hardware companies creating a complete SoC.
In systems designed for military and aerospace environments, soldiers on the field are fed up with feeling like they are stepping into the 1950s when they set foot on the battlefield. They have robust personal cell phones capable of more than military-qualified handheld computers. EDA tools that encompass hardware and software development can help change all this.
The military can begin to receive SoCs and develop their own secure applications on a single device to modernize equipment for the network-centric battlefield. As EDA companies evolve to bridge the gap between hardware and software design and development, the military may soon have an all-in-one handheld device capable of securely and reliably performing myriad functions. The infamous Star Trek Tricorder may soon be fact, rather than fiction. Geeks rejoice!

Quite often, a blog is the cornerstone of any social media endeavor. Our tweets, our links, and our Facebook status usually leads right to the blog. With that said, your house better be in order when you invite people over. Here are 5 things that should be considered when developing your blog.
1. Define Your Blog
What is your blog about? Who is your target audience? Focus is key when you begin writing your blog. You can have a blog about sports. You can have a blog about geometry. But if you follow a post on Michael Jordan with one on the pythagorean theorem, you might lose your audience. Here at MichaelBertoldi.Net, you may find a post on copywriting as well as a motivational type of post like What Do You Do? However, they'll always have a corp theme of marketing and achievement.
Pick a genre, if you will, and develop an identity for your blog.
2. Pick a Platform
Typepad, WordPress.com, WordPress.org, Blogger… There are many options when it comes to a blog platform. I started with blogger, moved to wordpress.com, and now host my own blog and use wordpress.org. While I'm grateful that I've had experience with various platforms, I'd advise learning from my experience and jump straight to WordPress.org. Get someone who can teach you how to obtain hosting space, install wordpress, and begin blogging under your own domain.
3. Select a Theme
Regardless of what platform you choose (wordpress.org) you'll find theme upon theme ready to give your blog a worthy design. A suggestion from experience – be willing to pay. You can change your theme time and time again, but chances are you'll get what you pay for. That's not to say you can't find a good theme for free. One of my favorite free themes is Jenny.
The best framework I've seen comes from Thesis (used here) and Genesis. You can also find nice themes at Woothemes and ThemeForest. In conclusion, just make sure your blog is presentable and professional.
4. Get Ahead, Write Now!
Start writing now! Even if your blog isn't up yet, start writing. One of the most challenging principals to blogging is providing good content on a regular basis. Remember, content is king. Go ahead and use this opportunity to get in the habit of writing and writing often. It may be a good idea to have five or so posts ready to go when you launch your blog. Then, keep feeding it on a regular basis.
5. Optimize
Once you're ready to get going with your blog, you need to make sure it's optimized. That means showing readers an obvious way to subscribe and contact you. It also means having SEO and social sharing tools in place. Plugins are a huge benefit to using wordpress and many of them will take care of these things for you. While I could write an entire post on which wordpress plugins you should use, that's already been done. Check out this great post from Nicholas Cardot on the Best Plugins for WordPress as well as this post from Ricardo Bueno on 13 Must Have WordPress Plugins. Make sure you read the comments from both of those posts as they too contain some excellent ideas.
What about your experience in blogging? What blogging platforms have you tried? What did you end up sticking with? What are some other steps that I may have overlooked?

"It's Time for a Library 2.0 Conference"
Via an IM from Jenny this am:
Don Yarman writes at the Ohio Libraries Council Blog:
"This morning, I decided that I want to see a "Library 2.0" conference in Ohio. I want national speakers (from St Joseph County, from Ann Arbor, from Seattle Public, from Salt Lake City Public) to talk about the transformation of their buildings and services to meet their patrons where they are. I want gaming demonstrations. I want OCLC to come and talk about their findings regarding user perceptions and the library brand. I want an art/design company to create avatars for librarians to use on their blogs, their IM clients, their Skype accounts. I want someone to talk about Wiki subject guides, library Flickr accounts, and RSS feeds from the catalog. I want a panel of ILS vendors to talk about what they're doing regarding graphical navigation systems, user alerting, and the dis-aggregation of their products (I want to hear them say that their products offer better resource discovery than Amazon.com, and have an audience "boo" them).
And while I started hammering the IT button pretty hard at the end of that last paragraph, it's not about technology. It's about vision, services, and tools. It's about building the willingness of Ohio's libraries to imagine what they can do next.
I'm impatient. October 2007, the date of the next statewide OLC conference, seems too far away to make this happen. But knowing how the OLC planning cycle begins rolling as a tiny snowball, already with unstoppable momentum by the time I notice it's happening, I thought I'd put my plugs in early. "Library 2.0" is a conversation that is happening among the visionaries now, and I think it's a conversation that Ohio libraries should want to be a part of...even if it takes us 22 months to get there."
Don - I hope it's about EVERY LIBRARY's willingness to imagine what they can do next! Every state library association should be planning this type of conference - or say, a NATIONAL LIBRARY ORGANIZATION might plan it for all of us -- ASAP!
Great post! This is an incredible idea with great possibility. I hope you can make it happen!

Tesco buys Giraffe: Has TSCO got more money that sense?
Has Tesco plc (LON:TSCO) more money that sense? The supermarket group is buying ideas rather than thinking of them itself. Or is it just ashamed to be Tesco?
The country's leading retailer is apparently buying the Giraffe restaurant chain. The price tag of up to £50m is not for the 47 branches however, it is for the goodwill of the brand so that it can be rolled out into Tesco stores. There's nothing wrong with giving the shoppers another service, but is the group with 500,000 staff really unable to think of a name itself for its dining areas?
The planned deal follows Tesco's acquisition of half of the Harris + Hoole coffee shops and an investment in the Euphorium bakery. Surely a company with sales of £72bn can create its own coffee bars and bread shops?
Tesco has moved from groceries into clothes, electrical goods and financial services as it expands its range. But those moves were organic: it didn't need takeovers. It has occasionally bought rival supermarket chains – but that was to gain sites, not brands. It already has bakers, coffee shops and snack bars: it is sad if Tesco no longer thinks it has the expertise to run these without buying minnows.
We've seen big brands buy upstarts before – Coca-Cola acquiring Innocent smoothies, Cadbury purchasing Green & Blacks chocolate or McDonalds investing in Prêt a Manger. But unless these are crude attempts to eliminate competition (not in Tesco's case) or the acquisition of innovation (ditto) it looks like a management running out of ideas or running away from its image.
Giraffe, like Harris + Hoole and Euphorium, is too small to be well known to most of the supermarket's customers. So using their brands does not, by itself, bring in significant business. The retailer is effectively hiding being their names to provide a customer service. It doesn't matter what the brand is, it is simply "Not Tesco".
Has management lost its ability to innovate? Or has the horsemeat scandal hit Tesco so hard that it is ashamed of its own name?

DUNLOP Hexy Fiber Comfort And Spin Biomimetic 16G Tennis String
List Price: $10.95 Sale Price:
Our staff has not reviewed this product yet.
Continuing their attempt to revolutionize the string market and create new concepts, the Dunlop Biomimetic Hexy Fiber 16 combines two typically foreign concepts. The combination of multifilament softness and playability has never before been achieved in a geometric string, until now. Hexy Fiber utilizes a soft multifilament core, which is then surrounded by a stiffer, hexagonal shaped layer. The soft core helps to provide elasticity for comfort and power while the hexagon profile allows the string to bite the ball for enhanced spin. The reason for the stiffer outer layer is primarily to ensure that the string is able to hold the geometric shape under tension. As a result this string will play slightly stiffer than a typical multifilament, but with much greater spin potential. This string is designed for the player seeking more spin without sacrificing comfort and power.
Composition: Polyamide multifilament core + outer shell
Color: White
Gauge: 1.30mm
