Bathymetric data is often in one vertical datum and terrestrial elevations in another. You open the data in ArcGIS and hope that the on-the-fly projection takes care of things, only to realize it only works for the horizontal datum. Learn the steps necessary to convert LAS data from NAVD 88 to MHW, these methods could also be used for other vertical datum transformations.
The USDA Geospatial Data Gateway is a great source for natural resources-related data and can be used to download pre-processed collarless topographic maps in MrSid format.

Linux Administration: A Beginner's Guide
Author: Steve Shah
Publisher: Osborne McGraw-Hill
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Price: $39.99 US
Reviewer: Harvey Friedman
Although it does have "beginner" in the title, this is not a book for someone entirely new to computers. Rather, it was written for one who might have prior experience as systems administrator for another computer system, and is finally ready to try Linux. In particular, the author compares it to Windows NT, with some lovely diagrams showing 1) authentication, 2) network, 3) boot process and 4) shutdown process. I used these comparison diagrams to learn about NT servers (assuming they were correct) because my only previous experience with NT was with the NT workstation.
Enough about NT, however. This book was a delight to read. Each chapter uses the classic teaching organization of an introduction telling the reader what will be covered, the coverage itself, and then a brief summary outlining what was covered, plus a list of books for further reading. The overall structure consists of five parts: Installing Linux, Single Host Administration, Internet Services, Intranet Services and Advanced Linux Networking.
The inside front cover of the book contains a "functional menu" listing many common tasks that a system administrator has to do and a reference to the chapter containing it. This implies that each chapter is self-contained, although many of the later chapters require information from earlier ones. I recommend reading it from cover to cover. Also included with the book is a CD-ROM containing the "Publisher's Edition" of the Red Hat Linux 6.1 distribution. What this means is that the reader has a stripped-down version of the distribution. URLs for Red Hat and other useful sites (such as where to download "ssh") are provided, so no one should be too peeved.
Shah gives good descriptions of using RPM to grab packages to install on one's working system, as well as complete illustrations of downloading a tarball, unzipping (if necessary), untarring and moving to a new directory. He then leads the reader thru the process of finding a Makefile, configuring, compiling and installing the package.
The description of setting up anonymous FTP is the most complete I can recall reading in recent memory. It is not just a cookbook recipe to follow, but also includes reasons to do things. Shah even contrasts setting up FTP via NT and discusses the relative security of each.
The Advanced Linux Networking section seemed too short. It covers IP aliasing, packet filters, and ipchains. After discussing the theory behind these, Shah gives concrete examples of how one might set them up, including filtering out the "ping of death".
I did stop counting typos after a dozen or so, but most of them will probably not detract from the reader's understanding. One of the most annoying errors was on page 222; the text describing DNS did not agree with Figure 12-1.
I think this book is well-written enough in explaining what is behind much of Linux that it could likely reduce many of the FAQs on Usenet newsgroups—that is, if everyone who had installed or wanted to install Linux would read it. Of course, most Linux newbies should read the HOWTOs, as well.
Overall, I think so highly of this book that I rate it in a class with Nemeth, et al.'s UNIX System Administration Handbook. Or maybe I've reviewed too many "... for Dummies" books. Well, I have reviewed enough of them and, yes, this book is good.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Read many of these articles and you should be able to come up with some conclusions of your own.
Let us know what you decide to write.
im still struggling.I don`t know what to write is this ok?
the points Christians make about miracles are that God helps them if they are ill.
Yes, that's one major response.
And don't forget things such as when that plane ran into a bunch of geese in New York and landed on the Hudson River -- and everyone was rescued.
Go through newspapers; think of others.
Scroll down.
You may or may not have this search:
Be careful with that response, though. That tends to set up what one of my Theology teacher called a "Vending Machine God." This is where we simply ask God for stuff in prayers and it's like we think we're putting money into a vending machine. Enough prayers (coins) = something in return from God (a snickers bar or healed father).
A miracle is when one of 2 things happen:
1) God interacts in a very special and unique way in the world.
2) Something unusual and unique happens and people explain it through their idea that it is God working.
Generally speaking, as Christians, we have faith that God's work will come out if we seek it out and let it. Even through pain, we can bring about new life. This is the story of many miracles in Scripture and a key basic lesson to be learned from practically ALL the miracles in Scripture, including the resurrection.
Not that there's anything "wrong" with the response you gave, but it is a slippery slope when some people get into that. They begin to expect things from God and are upset at both God and/or themselves when it doesn't happen. "God should have done this" or "I should have prayed more" are common thoughts among people that misinterpret that idea.
The most common miracle we can see in the Christian faith is something we overlook - strength. God, above all, gives us strength to face our toughest challenges.

So here is what I've come up with for prices. If you have any questions please let me know by sending me a note here on DA!
Basic Hats: $20-$25 - This includes simple cats, dogs, and designs
Intermediate Hats: $26-$30 - This includes more comlpex creatures and more detail than a basic hat - Birds and foxes fall in this category
Complex Hats: $35+ - Detailed creatures, designs, and custom designs - Squids, rams, sharks, full fur hats, hats with "scarves"
Scoodies: $40+ - as these are the most finicky things to create and alot of fabric goes into making one the prices are higher. Also I fear i'm still trying to make the two top-stitched seams on the top of the hood even on the inside and out. The seams look good on the outside, but on the inside of the hood kind of sketchy. xD
Fur hat prices are subject to change, I always try to use the best quality faux fur. If I wouldn't wear it, I wouldn't use it for hats!
So this means fur hat prices are higher due to the fact I always want to buy the best quality fur I can and usually a good amount of it which gets to be expensive especially if it isn't a commonly used color. Thanks for understanding!
Hat costs are, item + S&H, I usually ship through the US Postal Service, but i'm always trying to find the best deal for shipping prices.
If you have a specific creature in mind but don't know what price catagory to put it under let me know what it is, and if at all possible give me a picture of the creature and a quick sketch and I'll work out a price.
I may start making scarves at some point and my best estimate for right now is around $20+
Flower Hair Clips - Large ones start at $4.50 + S&H, and small one are $3.75 + S&H
I will create ones with custom colors, but prices may vary a litte on those depending on the cost of the fabric. Most of the time it shouldn't be a problem, however there is only one good fabric shop in my area and the fabric there tends to run a little high in price.
Also I you would like to send me fabric to make into flowers I would be gladly use that fabric as well!
Felties/Keychains/Pre-made Plushies/Pins -
All prices are variable depending on the cost of supplies and materials, and details.
I will price them fairly according to time spent making and cost of supplies.
Instead of finding prices for these here either look at the deviations page for the details and prices, or just send a note to me here on DA.
As I am not quite confident with my plushie skills quite yet and havn't built up a decent stockpile a patterns yet I will not be taking in custom plushies yet, but I hope to in the near future! So keep on checking back, but don't hesitate to ask though, if I think I might be able to create it I will certaintly do my best! A good price range estimate is $15+
All prices are, item + shipping and handling
Time: The time it takes to make your item can vary a bit due to school, other projects, and work for me. I will always do my best to get your item done and shipped within a week or two. If I need to create a new pattern for a hat or piece it may take awhile longer as I always try to have a mock up made before I do the real deal for custom hats. I hope to always be able to bet done within that 1-2 week frame, but I cannot always guatantee that time frame, and I am sorry for that. However I will strive to get things done in an oderly matter.
Thank you for taking a look, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
I look forward to working with you!

New Catalog Showcases Crystorama Lighting IntroductionsFriday April 26th, 2013 - 12:31PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Crystorama debuted a new 200-page master catalog, Designed to Illuminate,
at the Spring High Point Market, which closed yesterday. The company also showcased a cross-section of its lighting creations at the High Point, NC, event, highlighting a group of products inspired by elements of nature, architecture, fashion and jewelry, the company noted. Leading the natural elements trend for Crystorama was the Eva Collection, an empire basket shaped fixture featuring domes of rock crystal beading and rope trim. The company bolstered its Broche Collection with two spherical-shaped chandeliers, a wall sconce with a climbing vine and a ceiling mount. A new bell-jar shape and ceiling mount expanded the Avery collection. The entire range of new lighting groups makes the fresh catalog more compelling, the company noted, as does its organization. "The new catalog will be a great resource for our customers in accessing our product offerings while assisting homeowners in making the best possible lighting decisions," said Brad Kleinberg, president of Crystorama.

Background and Rationale
There is national consensus that undergraduate, and especially graduate medical education need urgent reform not only to produce more primary care physicians and allied health professionals but to ensure that this primary care workforce is equipped with the skill sets that will be required to effectively provide safe, high quality, evidence-based care to an increasingly diverse and aging population. While the ultimate structure of the U.S. healthcare system is not fully known, there is little argument for the need of dramatic reforms in both the health care delivery and medical educational systems (1-4). Policymakers have grown increasingly frustrated at the Graduate Medical Education (GME) enterprise's inability to more quickly transform itself to meet these contemporary expectations for physician training (1, 3).
As poignantly highlighted by Frenk and colleagues, competency-based medical education requires that educators start with the needs of the population and health system first (Figure 1). These needs then define the outcomes, or competencies, of the healthcare workforce (5). Only then is a curriculum developed, one that meets the needs of the targeted population in the context of the health care delivery system. In its second of two reports examining the future of graduate medical education, The Josiah H. Macy Jr. Foundation recommended the "GME system should be proactive in responding to and anticipating significant changes in health care delivery and practices," and the sites and content of training should expand to reflect future patient care and system's needs. (6)
A look at the current state of United States healthcare finds a system that provides suboptimal quality, is too expensive and too often unsafe. In addition to longstanding quality problems, the country is experiencing a dramatic demographic shift in conjunction with changing needs among patient populations (e.g., curable infectious diseases, new morbidities such as obesity and escalating numbers of patients with mental health issues as well as growing numbers of patients with special health care needs as a result of technologic advances and new drug therapies). Training programs, and by logical extension, faculty must design training to prepare future physicians to meet these changing needs. Frenk and colleagues also contrasted the explosion of medical knowledge and technology and the skills needed to manage these profound changes, with the stagnant investment in education through faculty training, time and resources, equating to less than 0.5% of the total health care expenditures in this country. (5)
Finally, while it seems logical that in order to acquire high levels of knowledge, skills and attitudes a medical student and resident must train in a setting that provides high quality and safe care, evidence is beginning to accrue to support this hypothesis. (7-8) Therefore, any faculty development initiative must tackle the tall task of equipping faculty to both teach important new primary care competencies while concomitantly working to improve the clinical system in which the care is delivered. For example, much investment and hope is being placed on the patient centered medical home, but what constitutes the optimal "version" of the PCMH for training programs has yet to be fully defined. As Larry Green eloquently articulates, "We have to train our residents for a system and model of practice that doesn't currently exist." This places an added imperative on skills that enable one to innovate in medical education and care delivery systems as well as lead and manage change.
Figure 1: Changing mindset – Competency-based medical education (ref 5).
Several fundamental barriers currently exist that will impede, if not prevent, the transformation of training across all primary care training programs:
1) Faculty, both physicians and non-physicians, are critical to the development of trainees in the ambulatory environment through teaching, role modeling, assessment of trainee's knowledge, skills and attitudes, and feedback. (1, 4) Formative assessment and its attendant feedback are perhaps the most important elements in helping trainees learn and improve (9-10). Yet, substantial research highlights that too many faculty lack competence in assessment and feedback skills related to quality improvement, teamwork and systems-based practice, especially in the ambulatory setting. (11-14) As recently noted by Dr. Tom Nasca, CEO of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), the lack of a sufficiently trained faculty workforce in assessment and evaluation may be the largest impediment to successfully transforming medical education to a competency-based system. (15)
2) In order to most effectively learn how to practice in advanced models of primary care with an emphasis on teams, trainees should experience such models during their training (2-16). However, far too many ambulatory training sites lack effective systems to provide the necessary environment for training in primary care. (2,16-17) Nelson and colleagues have laid out nine key success factors for effective ambulatory microsystems (18), including leadership and interdependence of the care team. Both require competent faculty, staff and strong working relationships between faculty, trainees and clinic staff. Yet, several studies suggest this is not happening in primary care, including residency clinics. (2, 16, 19)
3) There is a lack of a nationally coordinated effort to train faculty and other key providers who work in ambulatory training sites. To date, most faculty development programs have been housed and delivered within single departments or training programs and given as one-time "bolus" workshops (20). This one-time approach to faculty development fails to acknowledge that the acquisition of expertise occurs longitudinally and experientially. All of the "new" competencies, such as interprofessional teamwork, quality improvement, care coordination, evidence-based practice and informed decision making, require ongoing practice and reinforcement. (21-22) The lack of coordinated and longitudinal efforts results in too much heterogeneity that leads to unwarranted and unnecessary variation in both performance and teaching practices. Faculty development should seek to integrate the lessons learned and expertise across the primary care specialties using a longitudinal and interprofessional (e.g. physicians, nurses and other allied health professional) approach.
4) Many primary care training sites serve underserved populations with a multitude of complex medical and social problems. Current GME financing polices and reimbursement is not sufficient to cover faculty time and effort and faculty are being required to see greater volumes of patients to generate their salaries. A major unintended consequence is less time for teaching, assessment and feedback with little to no time for their own faculty development. As recently highlighted in the Carnegie Foundation report, Educating Physicians, teaching, assessment and evaluation require training, practice and feedback in these skills; they are not simply innate characteristics of clinicians appointed to faculty positions. (4)
5) The ever evolving health care delivery system and the contrast between the independent physician of the past and interdependent physician of the future calls for a new mindset. The traditional notions of physician autonomy must give way to the importance of professional relationships and interprofessional teams. The vast majority of current faculty were not "socialized" into a interprofessional culture; this represents a major change for faculty who must role model team-based care.
Historical Context of Primary Care Residency EducationThe movement to enhance the quality of primary care began prior to the passage of the Affordable Patient Care Act (APCA) through work by several medical organizations to define and promote demonstration pilots of the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH). (23) The Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is primarily based on evidence compiled by Barbara Starfield's work about the favorable effects of primary care, specifically improved patient outcomes at lower costs. (24-29) As currently conceived, features of the Patient-Centered Medical Home include: 1) an ongoing relationship between the patient and a personal physician; 2) continuous and comprehensive care; 3) collaborative care by teams and coordination with others as needed; 4) patient's and their families directly engaged in their own care planning, so care is coordinated and/or integrated across all elements of the health care system and the patient's community; 5) care that is facilitated by information technology, such as electronic health records and disease registries; 6) information exchanges about health and healthcare according to patient need, such as the use of asynchronous communication (e.g., e-mail) and enhanced access to healthcare through expanded hours and open-access scheduling; 7) quality and patient safety as foundational principles of the medical home, based on patient advocacy, care planning, and the use of evidence-based medicine and clinical decision support tools; and 8) payment reform that appropriately recognizes the added value provided to PCMH patients.
Supporting Residency Training RedesignThe scope, scale, and pace of developments in healthcare have not been matched by adaptations in the training of primary care physicians. The three primary care disciplines have launched separate initiatives within each discipline to catalyze change. Most notable is the Preparing the Personal Physician for Practice (P4) sponsored by the American Board of Family Medicine and the Association of Family Medicine Residency Directors that has been active for over five years in 14 programs, and this initiative has helped to identify a number of faculty development needs (30). In internal medicine, the ACGME sponsored the Education Innovations Projects (EIP) providing substantial flexibility to 21 internal medicine programs to try innovations in the program. Several programs targeted training in the ambulatory setting, including use of milestones and quality teams (31). The American Board of Pediatrics launched the Initiative for Innovation in Pediatric Education, with 18 programs currently involved in innovations around handovers, individualizing training to meet career goals, longitudinal quality improvement team-based training and improving competency-based assessment. However, to date no faculty development program has systematically involved all three disciplines in collaboration. There is national interest in securing a modernized foundation of primary care for a new health care delivery system for all, and the American Boards of Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Pediatrics, along with HRSA and the educational community are working together to effect this change by combining expertise and resources to create a national faculty development program building on empiric evidence of "what works" in faculty development and early pilot efforts to improve training in the ambulatory setting.
To best design a pilot faculty development initiative, we pursued three key activities. We:
1) Performed a semi-structured literature review to uncover key design principles for a faculty development program.
2) Performed a needs assessment of all training programs in the three disciplines.
3) Hosted a national stakeholders meeting in January 2012 to get robust input from a broad group of stakeholders: medical educators; consumer and purchasers; primary care physicians and educators; trainees; allied health professionals; private and public health system leaders; and regulators.
Literature review:
While much has been written on faculty development for teaching, the literature is less robust around faculty development in the newer competencies. However, combining this literature with lessons from quality improvement, systems and cognitive science, some over-arching design principles can be highlighted.
Faculty Development should:
1. Be experiential, relevant and interactive. The training has to help the faculty member solve a "problem" and incorporate the recent advances in the neurobiology of learning (32-33).
2. Be longitudinal. While "bolus" type workshops and courses have value, the lessons learned from the initial bolus have to be reinforced and refined over time. This will be particularly critical given that some of the changes involved in this initiative will evolve over time. Learning is an iterative, cyclic process.
3. Involve effective group process. This training should not be done alone, and in fact, one of the key operating principles of the training is to create an interdisciplinary learning community to enhance impact and promote sustainability.
4. Be evidenced-based to the greatest extent possible given the competing need for flexibility that takes advantage of local strengths. A one-size fits all approach will likely not work for all participating programs and clinics. (34)
5. Focus on faculty competencies that parallel those that are critical for graduating residents. The faculty development should have the same philosophy as the training program – strive for changes in KSA among the faculty to empower them to effect change consistent with self-efficacy and self-determination theory. (35-6)
6. Build iterative evaluation into the program, using the principles developed by Kirkpatrick, realist and developmental program evaluation models. (37-8) It is important to detect early signals so as to enable real-time adjustments during training and maximize the learning for scaling a larger intervention.
7. Must occur in the context of a training site embarking on change and redesign. Training faculty that do not have a "receptor site" after completion of the faculty development will have a low chance of success. All participants should come with a commitment from their local leadership and administration.
8. Recently published results from the P4 project in family medicine have also provided additional insights for faculty, specifically the need for (30):
a. Collaboration with other residencies
b. Faculty cohesion and commitment
c. Periodic faculty retreats
d. Ongoing curriculum management
e. Providing adequate administrative and financial support

Madonna and another Malawi child?
Do international adoptions offer better lives for orphans? Judge delays ruling on pop singer's adoption application until Friday.
Riccardo Gangale/AP
Two years after adopting a Malawian orphan, under a storm of controversy over alleged favorable treatment – American popstar Madonna is back in Malawi, to adopt a baby girl.
Even before her arrival on Sunday, Madonna's ambition to adopt had already kicked up enough coverage to prompt the spokesman of Save the Children UK to ask the singer to "think twice."
"International adoption can actually exacerbate the problem it hopes to solve," said Dominic Nutt, Save the Children's UK spokesman. "The very existence of orphanages encourages poor parents to abandon children in the hope that they will have a better life."
While no one accuses Madonna of doing anything illegal in adopting the 4-year-old girl, reportedly named Mercy, there are questions nonetheless about how Madonna is able to navigate Malawi's 18-to-24 month vetting period in just a matter of days or weeks. But the larger issue, child-rights advocates say, is whether international adoptions are in the best interests of the child.
"Our policy is fairly consistent with that of Save the Children's," says Shantha Bloemen, Johannesburg-based spokesperson for UNICEF, the UN Children's Fund. "Basically, with weak systems of government, such as in Malawi, there is a possibility of abuse of the system. Also, we encourage intracountry adoption, or placement within the extended family. That way, the child grows up with his or her own cultural identity intact.

I have an aftermarket MagnaFlow catback exhaust that is in good condition that I am wanting to trade for stock. There is nothing wrong with it. It has an awesome sound, not too loud, but enough to bother my 9 month old son when he is riding with me. Just wondering if there are any local people wanting to upgrade there exhaust system at my expense. This would be a straight trade for your stock cat back pipe, local trades only (Sacramento, Ca. and surrounding areas) This is coming off of a 2006 Tacoma 4X4 access cab. Exhaust is 2 years old. The brown spots are not rust, they are oil marks from a freshly paved road from awhile back.
Thanks, Marsey13

Bush Westfield 48" Return Bridge
Comments about Bush® Corsa Collection in Hansen Cherry Finish; 48 Return Bridge, Ready to Assemble:
Lovley table. Adds so much space to my desk. And gives the whole office such a classic look.
I ordered two more for the other office. Its strong and sturdy, with a beautiful laminate top finish.
It was easy for me to put it together by myself in less then 20 min.
I will recomend this to all my friends in addition to the whole Bush Westfield series. It is very professional and there is always somthing from the series I can add. I will probably add two corner desks down the road. So I alway try to stick to the Bush Series were I can just add and keep the same beautiful look.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I'm crazy for quinoa and crazy for pizza. Put them together, and you get a nutritious treat featuring the goodness of the whole grain packed with fiber and protein and a savory, gluten-free snack.
The original recipe calls for pepperoni, but being a vegetarian I substituted diced cherry tomatoes for a sweet juiciness that complemented the basil and oregano. Whip these up for a flavorful nibble for your next party appetizer or as a hearty afternoon snack.

Iverson out with sprained ankle
Associated Press
Wed, Jan 31, 2007
DENVER -- Nuggets guard Allen Iverson will miss Wednesday`s game against the Trail Blazers in Portland after spraining his right ankle.
Iverson was hurt in the Nuggets` 105-101 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats on Monday night in Denver.
The Nuggets said Iverson did not travel with the team Tuesday. Iverson is averaging 27.1 points and 7.7 assists a game since joining the Nuggets.
Denver coach George Karl said Iverson didn`t get on the court at all Tuesday at the morning shoot around before the team departed for Portland.
Asked who`s going to start in his place, Karl just smiled.
``We`re going to sign (assistant coach) Doug Moe,`` Karl said. ``We`re going to activate him, sign him to a 10-day contract.``
Although Iverson`s absence was a blow, Karl was more concerned Tuesday over his team`s recent play on defense. The team is giving up 103.9 points a game, which is 27th in the league. Denver gave up 105 points to the Bobcats, which is 10 more than their season average.
``Losing is a good teacher,`` Karl said. ``We spent some time watching film. We had a spicy defensive practice. We didn`t do much offense at all.``
Karl doesn`t understand why the Nuggets can`t play better defense. It`s a source of frustration.
``You`ve got to be alert and active,`` Karl said. ``The scouting reports and concepts - we`ll figure out how to give you help. If you`re not going to be alert and active, and you`re going to be slow and lazy, we`re in trouble. It`s tough coaching slow and lazy. Alert and active is good.``

Wizards` Jamison sprains knee
Associated Press
Wed, Jan 31, 2007
WASHINGTON -- Washington Wizards forward Antawn Jamison sprained his left knee in the first quarter of Tuesday night`s game against the Detroit Pistons.
Jamison was hurt when he banged knees with teammate DeShawn Stevenson under the basket at the end of a Wizards fast break. Jamison did not return to the game.
Coach Eddie Jordan said Jamison will not travel to Toronto for Wednesday`s game against the Raptors.
``We`re going to get an MRI on Thursday and then we`ll take it from there,`` Jordan said.
Jamison hyperextended the same knee in the first quarter against the Boston Celtics on Jan. 20. Jamison returned to that game, but the knee has been sore in recent days. He was given two days off from practice last week and responded with his two best games of the season: 35 points against Detroit last week and 34 points against Boston on Sunday.
Jamison, averaging 19.3 points and 7.9 rebounds, had surgery on his right knee two years ago.

Hornets` Paul hopes to return Wednesday
Associated Press
Tue, Jan 30, 2007
BETHANY, Okla. -- New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul returned to practice for the first time in a month Tuesday to test his sprained right ankle.
Paul, the NBA`s rookie of the year last season, has been sidelined since severely spraining the ankle when he came down on the foot of Seattle`s Johan Petro in a game on Dec. 26.
``I think it`s one of those things that I`m still just going to have to get comfortable with. This right here helped out a lot,`` Paul said Tuesday. ``With an injury like this - this being my first time - you always second-guess it.``
New Orleans has gone 8-9 (12-5 ATS) without its leading scorer, but has won three straight to start its current five-game homestand. The Hornets host Philadelphia on Wednesday and Minnesota on Friday.
``I would love to play tomorrow, but Coach (Byron Scott) said to come to shootaround in the morning and I`ll see how it feels, and then we`ll talk from there,`` Paul said. ``If I don`t play tomorrow, hopefully I`ll definitely be able to play by Friday.``
Re: Basketball News And Notes 1/31
Vols` Lofton doubtful against Bulldogs
The Tennessee Volunteers will not have their leading scorer back for Wednesday's game against the Georgia Bulldogs.
Junior guard Chris Lofton tried practicing on Monday but coach Bruce Pearl says Lofton`s sprained right ankle is still not healed yet.
"We put him through some paces, and he did fine," Pearl told the Nashville Tennessean Monday after practice. "But I just don`t think he`s ready. He`s got a pretty good bruise on the bone from where he turned his ankle. Right now, that`s what we`re dealing with. He`s doing everything he can to get back out there, but he`s just not ready."
Lofton, who also leads the SEC in scoring, sprained his right ankle in a game Jan. 20 and has not played in Tennessee's last two games.

Oden`s status in question for Purdue game
Ohio State freshman center Greg Oden's status for tonight's game in Purdue is unknown following the death of one of his best friends this past weekend.
The Columbus Dispatch is reporting that Oden learned of the death of school friend Travis Smith following Saturday's win over Michigan State. The 7-foot first-year phenom left for Terre Haute, Indiana on Sunday to be with Smith's family and returned to campus yesterday.
Buckeyes coach Thad Matta told reporters during his radio call-in show that he expects Oden to be ready to play on Wednesday but is not rushing his star recruit back to the court.
Oden will return to Indiana for the funeral on Wednesday afternoon then hopefully make his way to the Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, Indiana for the 7 p.m. ET scheduled tipoff.
"This is going to be a long, hard week for him," Matta told WBNSAM, "and I told him if he doesn't want to play, we're fine with that. But I think he's going to try to (play)."
Oden is averaging 15.6 points and almost 10 rebounds per game since making is belated debut in early December. He is still recovering from off-season wrist surgery which has forced Oden to wear a brace on his right wrist.
Oden's backup, 6-foot-9 forward Othello Hunter, is also dealing with tragedy following the death of his grandparents this past week. According to Matta, they passed away in their native Africa and he does not expect Hunter to leave the team during this time.

South Carolina center leaves team
Associated Press
Tue, Jan 30, 2007
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolina`s Ousmane Konate has left the basketball team for the second time this month and coach Dave Odom says it`s unlikely the reserve center will play again.
Odom said the 6-foot-10 junior from Senegal had personal issues he needed to handle.
Konate also took a leave of absence from the team before the Gamecocks` 84-50 loss to Florida on Jan. 13. At the time, Odom said he needed to figure out where basketball fit into his life.
Konate suited up again for South Carolina`s 66-60 win against Arkansas. He played 3 minutes.
Konate has played in 11 games this season, averaging just under 8 minutes an appearance with 1.6 points and two rebounds a game.
His departure leaves the Gamecocks with only one regular, 6-9 Brandon Wallace, taller than 6-7.
Mitchell Carter, a 6-11 freshman, has played in 26 minutes in seven games - and none since an 87-49 loss to Kentucky on Jan. 16.

NBA Today - January 31
Associated Press
Wednesday, Jan. 31
San Antonio at Utah (9 p.m. EST). The Northwest Division-leading Jazz are 1-1 against the Spurs this season.
- Gilbert Arenas, Wizards, had 36 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds to lead Washington to its seventh win in eight games, 104-99 over Detroit.
- Austin Croshere, Mavericks, scored a career-high 34 points in under 24 minutes as Dallas stretched its home winning streak to 14 games with a 122-102 victory over Seattle.
- Eddy Curry, Knicks, had 27 points and nine rebounds as New York defeated the Lakers 99-94.
Lakers guard Kobe Bryant was suspended one game without pay Tuesday by the NBA for striking San Antonio`s Manu Ginobili in the face in the fourth quarter Sunday. Los Angeles, which started an eight-game road trip without their leading scorer, fell to the Knicks 99-94 for their season-high third straight loss.
Jamaal Tinsley scored a season-high 28 points and Jermaine O`Neal added 25 points and eight rebounds as Indiana, the worst shooting team in the league, shot a season-high 53.6 percent from the field in a 103-96 victory over Boston on Tuesday night. The Pacers have won four of five, integrating those from the eight-player trade from Golden State last week.
Dwyane Wade scored 28 points as Miami beat Milwaukee 110-80 on Tuesday night to snap a three-game losing streak. Wade tied Alonzo Mourning`s franchise best with 20 or more points in 12 consecutive games.
Seattle tied a single-season club record with its 13th consecutive road defeat Tuesday night, 122-102 at Dallas, the SuperSonics` ninth straight loss to the Mavericks.
Boston scored 70 points total in the first and fourth quarters, but just 13 in each of the second and third periods of its 103-96 loss to Indiana on Tuesday night, the Celtics` 12th straight. Boston committed 40 personal fouls, but the Pacers went just 29-for-46 from the line.
Cleveland`s LeBron James was advised by the club`s medical staff to rest his sprained right big toe and was inactive for Tuesday`s 124-97 victory over Golden State. Sasha Pavlovic filled in with a career-high 24 points as eight Cavs hit double figures. ... Denver guard Allen Iverson will miss Wednesday`s game against the Trail Blazers in Portland after spraining his right ankle Monday against Charlotte.
Shaquille O`Neal was inactive for Miami`s 110-80 win against Milwaukee on Tuesday night. O`Neal, who has played only six games this season because of a knee injury, hurt his calf in practice Monday and is day-to-day. Also, point guard Jason Williams was inactive because of a foot injury. ... Washington forward Antawn Jamison sprained his left knee in the first quarter of Tuesday night`s 104-99 victory over Detroit. Coach Eddie Jordan said Jamison will not travel to Toronto for Wednesday`s game.
Memphis waived guard Eddie Jones on Tuesday after agreeing to a contract buyout. Jones, who averaged 5.6 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 29 games this season, can sign with a new team Thursday. The Grizzlies replaced him by signing guard Will Conroy to a 10-day contract.
``We`ve got to get serious about winning, that`s all it is. We`ve got some guys that don`t know how to prepare for the games and it shows in their play. It`s shocking that we get beat like that and LeBron is out. We talked about it this morning, that they were going to come out with a lot of hustle and passion. It`s like it`s falling on deaf ears.`` - Golden State guard Baron Davis after Tuesday night`s 124-97 loss to Cleveland.
Re: Basketball News And Notes 1/31
Some info from DonBest
UTAH - F Carlos Boozer (knee) is expected to miss.
Boozer will be wearing street clothes again tonight. The next time he wears a
uniform may be determined a few hours earlier. Boozer, his personal physician,
and the Jazz's medical staff will have a meeting Wednesday to discuss the results
of a variety of tests on Boozer's left knee. The Jazz would not comment on
Boozer's prognosis or any timeline for his return on Tuesday.
DENVER F Carmelo Anthony (wrist) injured last game, expected to play.
Anthony sprained his left wrist Monday. Anthony said he's sore, but fine and
will play Wednesday night at Portland.
GOLDEN ST - G Monta Ellis (ankle) left last game, "?" Wednesday vs Atlanta.
The Warriors might be without guard Monta Ellis for at least one game.
Ellis sprained his right ankle Tuesday during a 124-97 loss to the
Cleveland Cavaliers. He limped off the court with 5:38 left in the fourth
quarter. After the game, he was on crutches, his right foot in a boot.
X-rays were negative. Ellis said his status for tonight's game depends on
how he feels this morning. He is officially listed as day to day.
EASTERN MICHIGAN - G Carlos Medlock (foot) left last game, expected to miss the rest of
the season.
Medlock will miss the rest of the season with a broken foot. He will
undergo surgery Monday to insert a pin in the foot he injured Sunday
against Buffalo. Medlock had scored a career-high 26 points before
coming out of the game late in the second half after landing on
another player's foot. Medlock was leading the Eagles in scoring
(13.2) and assists (3.3) per game.
NORTH CAROLINA - F Brandan Wright (illness) is expected to play.
Wright and sophomore guard Marcus Ginyard, who missed the Arizona game
because of illness, have returned to practice and plan to play tonight.
Wright estimated before Tuesday's practice that he's near full
strength, "probably about 85 or 90 percent."
OHIO STATE - C Greg Oden (personal) is expected to play.
Four days after the deaths of a best friend and a beloved grandfather, Oden
and Othello Hunter are expected to be in the lineup when Ohio State plays
at Purdue. "I'm interested to see how they come out and play," HC Matta
said yesterday. Oden practiced yesterday before returning to Terre Haute,
Indiana, where the funeral for childhood friend Travis Smith is this
morning. Oden will rejoin the team in West Lafayette, Indiana, after the
funeral, Matta said. Oden was unavailable for comment yesterday.
TEMPLE - G Dionte Christmas (hand) is "?".
Christmas, whose 21.4 points a game leads the Atlantic 10 and is ranked 12th
nationally, flew with Temple yesterday to Richmond, where the Owls will play
the Spiders tonight. Christmas needed 17 stitches to close a wound between
the third and fourth fingers of his left (non-shooting) hand that he suffered
in the closing moments of Saturday's loss at Duquesne. His playing status will
be a game-time decision, according to a Temple official. He has scored at
least 30 points in each of the last three games.
LASALLE - G Darnell Harris (ankle) is "?".
Harris, who sprained his ankle in Saturday's loss to Fordham in the second
half, but returned before the game was over, will be a game-time decision
when the Explorers visit Charlotte tonight. Harris, La Salle's leading scorer
at 15.1 per game, needs one point to reach 1,000 for his career.
ARKANSAS STATE - G Adrian Banks (ankle) is "?".
Banks had already been held out of the team work of the 1-hour practice
and hasn't worked out all week after spraining his ankle last Saturday
at Florida International.
Re: Basketball News And Notes 1/31
Boozer likely out for several weeks with fracture
Associated Press
Wed, Jan 31, 2007
SALT LAKE CITY -- Utah Jazz forward Carlos Boozer has a hairline fracture in his left leg, and is expected to be sidelined a few weeks.
The injury was initially suspected to be a bruised knee, but an MRI and X-rays confirmed the fracture in the top of the fibula. It typically takes four to five weeks to fully heal, the team said Wednesday.
Boozer was injured in a collision Saturday with New Orleans` Tyson Chandler. He missed a game Monday against the New Jersey Nets.
Boozer, averaging 22.1 points and 11.8 rebounds before the injury, missed long stretches of two previous seasons because of injuries.

GAMING NEWSSimCity Improves Population Realism In This Week's 3.0 UpdatePosted on Tuesday, May 7 @ 10:11:55 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack
Maxis is set to release SimCity's 3.0 update, the next major patch for one of the more controversial games of the year. It does a lot in the way of improving the quality of life for the game, particularly in terms of population behavior. It makes several changes to how traffic and pedestrians move around the city. Their behavior has sparked some hilarious YouTube videos, and although most SimCity fans don't go to the series for realistic visuals, it was one of the main selling points of the latest iteration. There are also other minor adjustments made in the patch, but I'll leave it to you to find the goodies. See the official patch notes below:

I don't really care what color it is, as I can color match it to my trucks color afterward. I live in Richmond, VA, so it would be nice if I could find one in VA, MD or NC. However, I may be able to make shipping arrangements via uship if further, so if you have one that you would like to get rid of let me know.
