In Barry Bonds's wake, a trail of broken lives
The Barry Bonds trial has played out like a daily morality play, offering an unvarnished look at how sports stars' entourages can be made and ripped apart by fame, wealth, and scandal.

San Francisco
Three weeks into home run king Barry Bonds's perjury trial, testimony from some of the prosecution's witnesses has exposed how the lives of some of those in Bonds's inner circle have been torn apart in the eight years since the steroid scandal emerged.
If the testimonies are true, Bonds's ex-mistress views her extramarital affair with the former San Francisco Giants slugger as taking years out of her life, leaving her with little to show for them.
Two of Bonds's childhood friends, a brother and a sister, are now estranged from Bonds and the sister feels betrayed by the brother.
And his former personal trainer is now in jail.
While the tales of players and their entourages have become standard fare for the modern American professional sports fan, the stories unfolding in a federal courtroom in San Francisco in some ways represent something unique. They have offered an intimate and unvarnished look at how money and celebrity can become corrupting influences in the lives of the people surrounding them.
"There's a saying among financial analysts: The more money that's involved, the less likelihood for an ethical outcome," said Marianne Jennings, a professor of legal and ethical studies at Arizona State University who has written about Bonds and the steroid scandal.
All four of these individuals had become dependent on Bonds for "a lifestyle that they could not have paid for on their own and, once they got a taste of that, they can't give it up no matter what they see," she says.
Bonds faces one count of obstruction of justice and three counts of making false statements to a federal grand jury in 2003, when he denied knowingly using banned performance-enhancing anabolic steroids.

California sees big drop in wintertime fog needed by fruit and nut trees
By Sarah Yang
California's winter tule fog - hated by drivers, but needed by fruit and nut trees - has declined dramatically over the past three decades, raising a red flag for the state's multibillion dollar agricultural industry, according to researchers at the University of California, Berkeley.
Crops such as almonds, pistachios, cherries, apricots and peaches go through a necessary winter dormant period brought on and maintained by colder temperatures. Tule fog, a thick ground fog that descends upon the state's Central Valley between late fall and early spring, helps contribute to this winter chill.

Oklahoma vs. Texas (at Dallas), Oct. 12: Patience is running thin in Austin, given that the Longhorns haven't had a double-digit-win season since 2009 and haven't defeated the rival Sooners since then either.
UCLA at Stanford, Oct. 19: Will the third time be the charm for the Bruins? With a Rose Bowl bid on the line in November, they lost to Stanford in the season finale and again in the Pac-12 title game.
Oregon at Stanford, Nov. 7: This is the big one, in terms of the Pac-12 North race and perhaps a continued spot in the national championship race. Last year, Stanford's defense was huge in a 17-14, overtime victory.
Florida at South Carolina,
Nov. 16: One of these teams, if not both, figures to still be in the mix for a berth in a BCS bowl. Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier has a 3-4 record against his former school.
Texas A&M at LSU, Nov. 23: Johnny Manziel's worst game of 2012 came against the Tigers, who forced him into three interceptions in a 24-19 LSU victory. Now the Aggies have to play in Baton Rouge.
Ohio State at Michigan, Nov. 30: It's reasonable to think that a spot in the BCS title game will be on the line for the Buckeyes in the regular-season finale. Ohio State has won eight of the past nine meetings.
1. SEC: No surprise here. In the preseason coaches poll, the SEC had only one team in the top five (No. 1 Alabama) but had five other teams in the top 13 (Georgia, Texas A&M, South Carolina, Florida and LSU).
2. Pac-12: It's almost certain that a top-five national rating will be on the line when Stanford hosts Oregon on Nov. 7, but USC, UCLA and Oregon State have designs on the Rose Bowl also.
3. Big Ten: Ohio State is presumed to be on a walk to the Rose Bowl (or the title game?), but the Buckeyes could easily get tripped up by Northwestern, Wisconsin or Michigan. They happily avoid Nebraska.
4. Big 12: There aren't any national-title contenders here, but there's plenty of depth and compelling matchups. The conference's Fiesta Bowl spot could go to Oklahoma, Texas, Oklahoma State or TCU.
5. ACC: This isn't exactly what one would call a balanced conference. The Atlantic Division has top-10 contenders Florida State and Clemson, but the Coastal Division has ...North Carolina? Miami?

HIPAA and patients name
- 0Nov 4, '07 by JennieJenRNOk
So I have a question about HIPAA and email! I was always told to use initials and not the patients name when sending email. Do you guys believe this to be true? I think I ****** off a co-worker when I brought this to her attention!!
- 0Nov 4, '07 by widi96I hadn't heard of that, and it would almost seem a little contradictory given that we have computerized everything and all of the patient's information is on that computer and going between the computers anyway. Are you talking about an in hospital e-mail system (i.e. can't send or receive from the outside) - if so, I would think a full name would be allowable, but if it is an e-mail from the 'outside' then I would think you would have to be much more careful.
- 0Nov 4, '07 by Cienna2000I'm pre-nursing and work in medical records of a community clinic. We use paper charts and where I work the rule is to use chart numbers in emails. If not able to use chart numbers we are supposed to use first initial and last name if we are writing an email in regards to a patient that has not established care (so they do not have a chart number).
I also agree with Canoehead and the insecurity of faxing patient information. But it is one of those things where technology both helps and hurts us.
- 0Nov 4, '07 by JennieJenRNWidi96,
Yes, this is hospital email and you can access it from any computer around the world! That was my concern what if I was at the library and opened my email??
- 0Nov 5, '07 by Alois WolfIf it's for professional use within the Hospital or to other hospitals that are taking care of the pt. then no problem... if not then it's a no-no. We have a simple way of making sure we are safe though, each client at our facility is assigned a number so that whoever is looking at the information can only figure out who it is by looking up that persons number. (6366, 5460 etc. etc.) I just got my yearly in-service on this not too long ago.Last edit by Alois Wolf on Nov 5, '07
- 0Dec 2, '07 by grinsngripei have been curious regarding taking assignment in hospital as a CNA. i was taught to write the patients room number not their name, on my personal notes. so i was in training and the girl told me their names, but i wrote their corresponding room numbers for my own assigment. later i was reprimanded that i HAVE to write their name on my paper, which i throw away at the end of shift anyways!
i specifically avoiding writing names d/ t HIPPA and explained that to nurse ed. who again told me i was wrong.. WAS I? any input id appreciate, i really wanted that job, and i truely felt bullyed. that was one of many issues, i obviously wasnt in the in click.
- 0Dec 2, '07 by caliotter3Grinsngripe
There is nothing wrong in writing the name of the patient on your notes that are used within the facility. At the end of the shift, you don't remove the notes from the facility but place them in the bin to be shredded, or shred the notes yourself.
- 0Dec 2, '07 by grinsngripeThanks, I appreciate your input. I did notice many times CNAs left their assignments in open view on their carts and such, as i did, i would look it over , gather my supplies before entering and then write down my findings. and that was where i had concern. i would have appreciated being told it was required, rather than just reporting me for it. It was strickly enforced to me threw a state orientation NOT to do any patient info with their name on it, that you should use their medical record #, pt Id #, anything to define them but a name. that was my HIPPA training, and i was trying to dothe best right thing. ,
- 0Dec 2, '07 by caliotter3My notes have always stayed in my pocket. I never leave them on any cart or table where someone can see them or worse, take them. I did this even before I even heard about HIPAA.

Preseason countdown: No. 5 Texas
Texas, it's OK to start playing up to your talent level again.
In 14 years as the Texas head coach, Mack Brown has lost a grand total of 39 games, with 12 of them coming over the last two seasons. To put this in perspective, Texas lost 12 games from 2003 to 2009, a span of seven with a phenomenal 79-12 record.
- Head coach: Mack Brown (15th season)
- 2011 finish: 8-5 | 2012 prediction: 10-2
- Letterwinners returning: 43 | Lost: 20
- 2012 schedule | Team page | Scout.com
- Texas offense | Defense | Depth chart
- Athlon Sports: Texas | Big 12 picks
- Latest CFB updates: FOX | Scout | YB
And after a bit of a hiccup, now there's absolutely no excuse to not be back at a national title level again.
It wasn't all Garrett Gilbert's fault, but he came to represent the problems that knocked the Longhorns down from their elite status. The current SMU QB came to Texas as an All-World prospect, but the coaching staff was used to mobile options like Vince Young and Colt McCoy and didn't seem to be able to get the most out of the star prospect. Gilbert struggled, didn't get any help from the rest of the offense, was replaced, and then all of a sudden Texas became very, very mediocre against the better teams.
The defense was tremendous last season – finishing first in total defense, run defense and pass defense while finishing second in scoring D – but if you can't put up points in the high-powered Big 12, you can't win. Gilbert was quickly pushed aside for young options David Ash and Case McCoy, and while they weren't miserable, the offense simply couldn't find the endzone.
But enough is enough. There's too much talent, too much experience, too much athleticism and too many outstanding recruiting classes in a row for 2012 to not be a special season. So now it comes down to this for Brown after his two straight duds; either Texas wins at least 10 games and gets back to a BCS game, or else no coaching staff in America will have gotten less out of its team.
The players are in place. The coaching staff is tremendous. The schedule isn't all that bad with just two road games against teams that went bowling last season. In other words, there's no excuse.
Get the latest college football news, features and much more at College Football News.
What to watch for on offense: Quarterback, quarterback, quarterback. The idea that it's a good thing to keep up the competition between David Ash and Case McCoy might be a negative. Ash appears to be the better of the two options, but he needs to have the No. 1 job to become the leader the offense needs. Still a sophomore, Ash needs to time to grow into his potential and he has to be able to learn from his mistakes. However, the coaching staff isn't going to be patient if he isn't getting the job done.
What to watch for on defense: Speed. Texas always has a vast array of athletic speedsters and athletic marvels, but even for a Brown team this year's back seven should take on a whole other level. It's not that former linebackers Emmanuel Acho and Keenan Robinson were bad in any way, but they were better football players than athletes. Once Steve Edmond gets a little more time in the middle, and after Demarco Cobbs establishes himself a bit more on the weakside, look out. Veteran Jordan Hicks is a tremendous talent, but he might look like he's running in sand compared to Cobbs. The secondary takes speed and quickness to a whole other level.
The team will be far better if: The team could score on a consistent basis. Over the last two seasons, Texas is 8-0 when scoring 28 points or more and is 4-12 when scoring fewer. Basically, as good as the defense has been, it hasn't been able to pitch the shutouts needed to overcome the inconsistent play of the offense. This year, with this defense, scoring 28 should be an automatic win, but just getting to 20 might be more than enough.
The schedule: It won't be a barrier to getting back to superpower status, but there are a few key landmines to sidestep. The non-conference slate is a walk in the park with Wyoming, New Mexico and Ole Miss all layups if the Longhorns are focused, and then comes a nicely timed week off before going to Oklahoma State to kick off the most important three-game stretch of the season. OSU, West Virginia and Oklahoma are likely going to be the three toughest teams on the schedule, and they all come in a row. If Texas gets to 6-0, it'll be on the fast track to 12-0. However, don't sleep on the road trip to Texas Tech, which will be experienced on defense and improved on offense. It could be the big curveball of the 2012 Big 12 season. A week off before facing TCU is a godsend, and closing out at Kansas State shouldn't be too bad if Texas is back to being Texas.
Best offensive player: Sophomore RB Malcolm Brown … maybe. Thumping fullback Joe Bergeron was good enough this offseason to take carries away and potentially push Brown for the starting job. It's a good problem for the coaching staff to have, looking to keep both players fresh in a rotation that should take the heat off the passing game. But on pure talent and upside, Brown has all the skills and abilities to carry the offense and be a special runner. However, this year's super-recruit, Johnathan Gray, might be every bit as good when he gets his chances.
Best defensive player: Senior DE Alex Okafor and Junior DE Jackson Jeffcoat. There will be all-stars galore in the back seven, but everything starts with the defensive front that boasts an outstanding array of prospects on the outside. Okafor is a big, tough pass rusher who's always working to make things happen, while Jeffcoat is a next-level talent who should be one of the Big 12's most dangerous pass rushers once he gets past a torn pectoral muscle. The two should combine to be among the nation's best end tandems.
Key player to a successful season: Freshman PK Nick Jordan. It's not like Texas plays a slew of close games, but the difference between a great season and a special one could come down to a few key kicks. Since losing to Kansas State 45-42 in 2006, Texas is 9-0 in games decided by three points or fewer. Can Jordan come through with the really big kick if needed? It's asking a lot for a true freshman to come through in the clutch.

The season will be a success if: Texas wins the Big 12 title. You're not Texas if you're shooting for anything less than a national championship, but considering the quarterbacks might not be up to BCS snuff, and with too many concerns on special teams, winning the conference championship would be a huge success after the problems over the last two seasons. Even if the Longhorns play up to their abilities it's not going to be easy with road games at Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Kansas State to go along with home dates against West Virginia and TCU and the annual shootout against Oklahoma, however, they should be better than everyone except, maybe, the Sooners.
Key game: Sept. 29 at Oklahoma State. Of course the Oklahoma game is huge, and there are several other key battles, but beating Oklahoma State on the road to kick off the Big 12 season is a must to show that this season and this team will be different. The Longhorns will get a week off to prepare, and with West Virginia and Oklahoma to follow it could be a must win to potentially avoid a disastrous start to the conference slate. Texas had won 12 straight against the Cowboys, often in heart-wrenching fashion, before losing the last two seasons. If Oklahoma State makes it three in a row, it might be officially time to signify a shift in conference power.

Hello Members,
Just to let you all know that I got my pistol permit today in the post.
I applied for in on GoodFriday.
Know going to look at pistol over the weekend.
Just wanted to let you all know about my good news. From Barrel (David)
Hey Barrel,
Congratulations! I got mine in June and have been carrying ever since. Do you have a firearm in mind that you want? I would recommend a Glock 19 as this has been a great firearm for me. Not to big but not to small either. I use it for CC and for HD. Have fun this weekend. Let us know what you get.
Hi Glock19
Was thinking of a Springfield XD range done some research here on this site.Was going to look at other makes to see what I can afford.Thank you for your reply.And also Congratulations on your permit as well.
Long wait David but good news indeed.
XD could suit very well but also seems in recent months the M&P has been getting good reviews.

the M&P isn't bad, but hard to gauge the trigger reset on it, the XD is a lot more defined. I purchased the XD for the reason of how well defined it is + Reliability + Guide Rod + 3m Under Water rated lol.

<-- that's coffee, btw] Congratulations!
Protect your family. Reload. Call 911.
Best thing is to get to a range that rents and try them all. The XD is a fine weapon and so is the glock. I rented an M&P but I didn't like the trigger. But definately try before you buy if you can.
Try as many as you can. Glocks are very popular. I had a Glock and got rid of it for an XD. I much prefer the XD because of the additional grip safety. IMO they shoot about equally.
Barrel...Congrats!!! XD9SC and Service9 for CC here. Great guns

Congratulations, I cannot believe your restraint. I had my pistol and was still finalizing my holster when my permit arrived. Welcome to the ranks of those who understand the responsibility of a citizenry that has the right to be armed.
Now that you have proven you are responsible enough to carry a firearm, have you exercised your other rights lately, like writing to your representatives?
But if you are authorized to carry a weapon, and you walk outside without it, just take a deep breath, and say this to yourself...

Is that a permit for the pistol?...or a carry permit?

The OP lives in New York State. You need a permit just to buy and own the gun.
The CCW is a whole other process. My Mom lives in NYS and wishes she could get firearms as easily as I do in PA. Just walk in and walk out with your gun, after 10 minute background check of course.

Microsoft Surface Pro drops February 9 for $899
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Microsoft, PC / Laptop
Microsoft has finally announced a launch date for its Surface Pro tablet: you'll be able to pick one up on February 9th. Yes, the device missed the promised January release timeframe, but we're talking 9 days here. That date, by the way, only pertains to the US and Canada, with international markets to follow in "the coming weeks and months" according to the company.
Surface Pro will be the first Microsoft tablet to run the full version of Windows 8, as opposed to the stripped down Windows RT. This means that you'll be able to install and run regular desktop applications on the tablet. It's a half pound heavier than Surface with Windows RT, but also brings a 1080p display and digitizer pen support. Oh, and a much higher price tag. Surface Pro will start at $899 for the 64GB model, and $999 for the 128GB version.
Be sure to check out our Surface RT review, Surface Touch Cover review, and Surface Type Cover review!
Microsoft to migrate Messenger users to Skype on March 15
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Corporate News, Microsoft, Software
Microsoft is officially retiring its Messenger service and will redirect users, and their contacts, to Skype.
According to The Next Web, users will retain access to Microsoft Messenger until March 15th, at which point they will then be prompted to join Skype. The migration will be made with your contacts in tow, so that alleviates some of the stress involved in the changing of hands. Mobile users of Skype will be glad to know that Microsoft account support is already mixed in with the iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 8 to make the transfer as swift as possible.
How do you feel about the death of Messenger? Let us know in the comments.

Google plans fix for Google Maps in Internet Explorer on Windows Phone
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Cell Phones, Google, Internet, Microsoft, Software
Maps for Windows Phone users is about to get a little better. According to Google, it is planning on fixing the issue preventing Windows Phone users from reaching the Google Maps website through Internet Explorer. The search giant had this to say:
"We periodically test Google Maps compatibility with mobile browsers to make sure we deliver the best experience for those users. In our last test, IE mobile still did not offer a good maps experience with no ability to pan or zoom and perform basic map functionality. As a result, we chose to continue to redirect IE mobile users to Google.com where they could at least make local searches. The Firefox mobile browser did offer a somewhat better user experience and that's why there is no redirect for those users. Recent improvements to IE mobile and Google Maps now deliver a better experience and we are currently working to remove the redirect. We will continue to test Google Maps compatibility with other mobile browsers to ensure the best possible experience for users."
Google had previously stated that the outage was because its mobile Maps site wasn't designed with IE in mind.

Consumer Report Picks Windows 7 over Windows 8
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Microsoft, PC / Laptop, Product Reviews, Software
Consumer Reports thinks that, for the time being, you're better off sticking with Windows 7 and waiting on Windows 8. The consumer ratings publication provides pros and (mostly) cons of Windows operating systems, and ultimately comes to the conclusion that updating to Windows 8 is not worth the upgrade at its current state. Windows 8 has received mostly lackluster reviews from technology internet sites. Most of them being flummoxed as to what went into the decision-making at Microsoft. Still, according to Microsoft, Windows 8 is selling faster than when Windows 7 launched; but there's a question as to where these numbers came from. Here's an excerpt:
"A quick look at our newest computer Ratings tells an interesting story: Despite the release of the new Windows 8 OS, many Windows 7 computers are still available from a variety of retailers, and several top our Ratings. If you're shopping for a new computer right now, there are some good reasons to opt for Windows 7." - Consumer Reports

Facebook 4.1 for Windows Phone 8 brings speed improvements
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Cell Phones, Microsoft, Software
A new update for Windows Phone 8's Facebook app doesn't bring new features, but does make the app a lot faster and more responsive. Similar to the recent Facebook app updates on Android and iOS, this one focuses on the general performance of the app, and eliminates the lag from the older version.
Windows Phone 7 devices, however, aren't capable of running the new update. UK users will assuredly find the Facebook version 4.1 update in the UK Windows Phone Marketplace, but its not quite available in all markets yet.

Parker arrested, out on bond
BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Juqua Parker was arrested on a marijuana possession charge early Wednesday near the team's training camp in northeast Pennsylvania.
Lower Saucon Township police said Parker was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped for a traffic violation at 12:33 a.m. ET near Lehigh University, where the Eagles train.
Parker was carrying "a small amount of marijuana" and was taken to Northampton County Prison, police said. Parker was released after posting $1,000 bail later Wednesday morning, a prison official said.
Eagles coach Andy Reid said he was aware of the incident.
"It's in the law's hands right now. As time goes on, I'll know more," Reid said.
Reid said the team curfew was 1 a.m. ET.
The 31-year-old Parker played four seasons with Tennessee before joining the Eagles in 2005. He was a full-time starter last year for the first time in his career, finishing with five sacks, 76 tackles and one interception that he returned 55 yards for a touchdown in a win over San Francisco.
Parker is listed as the team's starting left defensive end, but the Eagles regularly rotate their linemen. He didn't practice Wednesday morning because Reid gave players over age 30 the session off.
Parker legally changed his name from Juqua Thomas in 2008 to fulfill a request by his late father.

The MBA in Leadership emphasis embraces the fundamentals of business and an interdisciplinary examination of the phenomenon of leadership. The interdisciplinary disciplines include systems theory, sociology, psychology, and cultural anthropology. The fundamentals of business include economics, information technology, management, marketing, financial accountability, ethics, business law, and leadership, and a capstone experience.
Oklahoma Baptist University is here to help you become a leader in business. This degree program is designed to help you engage and lead with wisdom and discernment regarding issues of today and tomorrow. Courses are taught by professors who have experience in their field. You will interact with both academic and business professionals from different sectors of businesses and the business community in general. The objective is for this program to be an application based MBA not just book-knowledge MBA. You will learn from leaders from both inside and outside the business discipline.
Your studies here can be shaped to fit your desired goals in your present position or the position you have your eye on. Some of the courses include projects which can be tailored to fit the goals of the individual student. This is not a one-size fits all MBA. Your Capstone project will be designed and crafted by you as you look to current needs within your current company or that company you would like to start or join. Your MBA program is limited only by the constraints you place upon it.
At the OBU Graduate School, we utilize materials from our Ethics, Business Law and Leadership course to help you strengthen your business ethic. From time to time, students are encouraged and invited to attend an Oklahoma Business Ethics Consortium luncheon at the Petroleum Club. An MBA from OBU is not just a bunch of head knowledge. We want to produce graduates who not only succeed, but succeed in doing what is right.

It was like going from the state fair to the county fair.
Officially, tonight's game with Andrew Jackson marks homecoming for Camden High School.
As the clock winded down on his team's 35-20 win over rival Camden last Friday, Lugoff-Elgin head coach Scott Jones admitted to counting the house to see what was left of the unusually small crowd at Zemp Stadium.
Will Rice is hoping that lightning can strike twice in 366 days in the same town.
It all seems too simple … and it was.
The Kershaw County-based Demon Dogs' 16U baseball travel team played finished second in the Fall Kick-Off Tournament Global Sports tournament on Sept. 10-11.
Oftentimes, high schools will have a junior ring ceremony to present rising seniors with their school ring well before graduation.
C-I (Camden, S.C.) sports editor
Playing minus six starters who were unavailable for every reason from illness to suspension to injury, North Central went into Friday night's home game with Buford short-handed. But NC head coach Louis Clyburn said he was more rankled with the players he had at his disposal rather than those he could not coach on this night.
Unknowingly, Jimmy Neal may have been speaking for both himself and Lugoff-Elgin head coach Scott Jones when the Camden boss talked about tonight's Wateree River Rivalry at Zemp Stadium.
In each of North Central's first three games of the season, the Knights have out-gained the opposition in total yards. Still, Louis Clyburn's team finds itself searching for that first victory of the season.
Will Rice is glad that his defense will not have to face another Wing-T offense this week when Camden Military Academy travels to meet East Clarendon.
Awesome Bet, developed in Camden at Kip Elser's Kirkwood Stables, finished second behind Prayer for Relief in Saturday's $500,000 Super Derby at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans.
Maybe, this trading one opponent for another is not the best idea.
Just when it looked like North Central was going to make its move against rival Andrew Jackson, the Volunteers came up with a trump card.
Every time the phone rings, each new e-mail she receives probably adds a little more stress to Von Duncan's life.
Camden's relay team method of substitution is designed to wear down its opponents.

MERRILL MAKES IT DOUBLY TOUGH TO BE ELITE: The Bank of America subsidiary has increased the goals a broker must meet to be a top performer, Reuters reports. Before, you had to bring in $4 million from clients to be in the "Circle of Champions." Now, it's $8 million to be in the "Pinnacle Club." Membership gets you $10,000 and bragging rights.
EVERYBODY LOVES SCBT: First Financial Holdings, aka SCBT/NCBT and soon to be South State Bank, is the top rated bank stock in the country with buy recommendations from 100 percent of analysts who cover it, according to a report from SNL Financial. Sure, it's only seven analysts (compared with 34 for JPMorgan Chase). Neither Bank of America nor Wells Fargo made the top-rated list, meaning less than 50 percent of analysts had a buy recommendation on their stocks.
BANK OF AMERICA IS GOOD FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS: So says a new survey from GoBankingRates.com, which put the Charlotte bank atop its list of good banks for the newly matriculating. The site cites the ability for students 23 or younger to have some checking account fees waived.
SUNTRUST BEATS EXPECTATIONS: Net income was up 15 percent to $405 million, Bloomberg reports.
BANKS STILL DON'T WANT TO TRY POT: Even after federal regulators assured banks that they wouldn't get in trouble for taking on legal marijuana businesses as clients, the fledgling pot firms still can't open up checking accounts most places, the Wall Street Journal reports.
WHY CITIGROUP IS 'RUNNING AND HIDING': Just months after the New York bank was the only one of its peers not allowed to increase its dividend, Citigroup will hold its annual meeting a thousand miles away from its home, in St. Louis. CLSA analyst says that gives the impression the bank is running and hiding, Buzzfeed reports. Of course, Citi isn't the only bank that's taken its annual meetings on the road lately. San Francisco-based Wells Fargo held its get-together in Salt Lake City last year, and it'll be in San Antonio this year.

If you have already installed sims on the network run it as a start-up script and it will let non administrators update sims etc
Ok, I think this thread is a little confusing.
The SIMSPerm.bat file is, as Jamo says, supposed to be run after SIMS is installed on a machine, by someone with local admin rights.
You run it on a command prompt like so:
That would set the permissions correctly for the group 'Staff' on our domain.Code:simsperm.bat SCH4290\Staff
It doesn't need running on startup/login, or by end users.
in staid of the user name i did the staff group and it worked for all users
thanks all
Actually I gave up with simsperm.bat. Sometimes something went wron and I had to go back to the machine to upgrade it. most of the time I forgot about it when I put a new SIMS machine in. Those problems went away when I addedd all the security setting to a GPO.
You would do if you have sims already installed out on the system. It would save visiting every machine. Thats what i am trying to get across.It doesn't need running on startup/login,
I think adding a Group Policy its a easier solution. No step to forget. Also, not sure if it works with Windows 7.
Also worth mentioning that it won't work if you have installed the SIMS client application to a directory other than it's default one - "C:\Program Files\SIMS\SIMS .net"
I generally use a GPO to deploy another batch file which calls "SIMSPerm.bat domain/group" as a startup (not login) script, this way it runs under the system account and just works.
(Be careful to point it at the UNC path ie "\\servername\sims" etc and not at a mapped drive - system accounts won't map drives).
@ Matt40k, I haven't tried on Win7 yet but might get a chance early this week as I'm going to a school where they have a couple of new W7 machines which they want SIMS on - If I find out I'll update this post.

We provide fresh in season Certified Organic produce, fruits, wildcrafted mushrooms, herbs, and edible flowers to customers at farmer's markets, grocers, restaurants, and through our CSA program.
The backbone of LotFotL's success hinges on our 26 week CSA program. In 2010, we will serve 200+ households with top quality certified organic shares from mid may to mid november. We offer work-for-food options too.
2010 will also mark our first year of grazing cattle for beef, sold directly to you. We will also be able to harvest honey from our very own hives! Check out the website for more info.

"I use ground coriander - the spice - and it works out great. Sour cream is a MUST as a garnish, and we just use bacon bits (from the jar) as a garnish too. This is an easy-to-make dish! "
"This is excellent! I have made this several times now, and we love it. Thanks for posting!"
"Awesome shrimp! We used low-sodium soy sauce and that worked out great. Shrimp were spicy and the flavor really came through. We weren't sure what 1/4 lemon meant, so we used the juice of 1/2 of a lemon and that was fine. We didn't have minced ginger so we substituted 1 TEASPOON of GROUND ginger from the spice rack. Thank you for a great recipe! "
"This salsa was okay but rather bland. I tried adding salt but it didn't help much. I think it needs some garlic perhaps? "
