Report: We're getting a 1st rounder this year and a 1st rounder next year according to a Hornets front office guy that texted my friend.

Chandler may be offensively challenged but he was always a force in the middle. Armstrong will never be a defensive force in the middle. We had the perfect setup for chandler. West scores, Tyson mans the middle. It worked well for us.Originally Posted by djbless77
Really?!?!?! No play-offs?!?! Lottery team? Tyson wasn't that good. I think the Panic button is being pressed to fast here. One thing i keep hearing is CP3 will be mad. Only if they don't win. Plus he has 3 more years on his contract.Originally Posted by Who Dat 3
You people act like tc was the face of this franchise. He is highly overrated on this board. I gave up on tc after the knicks game where he refused to box out and grab rebounds. D. Lee was destorying him, he is a 7'2 NBA player who is not a threat to score in the post, tc has been in the league for 8 years and he still has no offensive game. Why would you pay a guy 27 million just to play a little defense. His price tag wasn't worth it.
Dell Demps PLEASE get us some scorers!
NO seriously i am really pissed about this crap, the only reason i even care about this team now is because of cp3...i want a team for him that wants him to succeed, and not have frikin salary cap in front of Chris Paul....idiotic move i dont care how much money they save. The hornets are going to be mediocre anyways, CP will not want to stay trust me
it won't matter because the Hornets will either draft and trade or draft and sit them on the bench OR give the player away after 2 years (ala BD and Chandler).Originally Posted by Eleven79
If that really is true or at least one of those ... than its a whole other ball game.Originally Posted by Eleven79
I'm sorry maybe I'm missing something here but you would have thought we had traded Chris Paul instead of Chandler. Anyway did anyone ever think maybe this was the "best" deal out there and nobody wanted to take a chance on a guy who has been injured a lot this season and has not had a great year overall.
If thats true then it eases my mind a littleOriginally Posted by Eleven79

who cares...i garauntee you those damn picks wont win us a ring, and if Cp3 cant have a chance to even frikin prove he can win one with a 7 1 center who had great chemistry with him, then frikin 1st round bs picks arent gonna change anything...this franchise is a joke
If this is true then we got a steal if you ask me. Tyson is NOT that good. Although i DO like him just not for 27 mil!
What a day.
I'll start by saying that I don't think anyone is particularly wrong here (other than the people saying they're going to cancel their tickets. But I guess they're more fairweather than anything else. Please stop posting if you're so disgusted). If you combine select posts, you get a pretty clear view of what's happened.
I held out hope that we wouldn't actually go through with this deal. Tyson probably won't be the same player without Chris, however, that doesn't mean you take less for him. My initial reaction was that we basically dealt him for nothing.
I like Wilcox. Liked the idea of acquiring him to bolster our bench. Now, I would assume he'll start. That's fine. We did what we had to do, I guess. I could see Chris having some nice games for us. When healthy, he can be a good player. But come this offseason, I would be extremely suprised if Wilcox, Smith, or Hardin will even remain with the team.
I'm also concerned about the affect this has on Chris and David. You can come at me with "It's a businessblah blah blah," but it's not just a business for them. I'm sure they'll come out and tow the company line, but I guarentee you neither are happy.
Neither am I really, I suppose. But I'll wait and see how this plays out. Not just this season but in the coming years. Because that's what a good fan does. Not jump ship the moment the sky looks a little cloudier.
Good that will generate another $6 million for the team.Originally Posted by Eleven79
well at least LSU's basketball team is good, baseball season starts friday and mardis gras is coming up so i have things to distract myself with now other than watching us fold it up. i was really looking forward to the second half of this season.
this is really pathetic to not even get a first. i have been losing confidence in bower but this is the nail in his coffin. when it comes august and we still dont have a legit center, have a mediocre pick, and no money to spend, we probably will make some other really stupid move to try and get one.
edit...i flamed before reading the current page about the 2 firsts. it thats true, i'll reformulate my opinion.
Don't go and get my hopes up now!Originally Posted by Eleven79
I wouldn't call it a steal. I'd call it fair value. Quality bigs are worth at least 2 1st picks or a lottery pick.Originally Posted by djbless77
Awesome F'ing move!"I don't know if that's somebody we can afford to lose,'' West told the newspaper. "So I'm not sold on that idea. You just don't find a 7-foot-1 athlete like that and he's the only 7-footer we have. Especially if we're planning on making a run into the playoffs, we're going to need size to compete with Portland, San Antonio and the Lakers. I'm not sure that would help us.''
This organization is a joke. They want us to step up as fans and when we do, they drop the ball as ownership.
IF this is true, then I feel a lot better and retract my initial venom towards Bower. Otherwise, it's still a terrible trade.Originally Posted by Eleven79
Nothing personal against Tyson but even Hilton was outplaying him this year. He was giving us nothing
man this is fd up i realy liked tyson, what a dumb #@$ trade, im going to have to stop getting attached to players, i miss this dude and i dont even know him like that. i know this buisness but jeez jo smith and wilkox, r u kidding me, where the heck r the draft picks. why the heck we didnt shift out poesy no playing #@%. and why did we make a trade with our enemies, i know the okies just love this, i cant imagine what their boards will say. i wish i can be a fly on the wall in chris paul house i want to see his real reaction, he propably like im gone in 4 years, this is bs, are something like that
im done typing my fustration, i know im a little late, i just woke up
looking forward to next season
Please GOD be the truth!!!!!Originally Posted by Eleven79
Guys, can you all calm down? The stats show Tyson was NOT a contributor in our wins this year, and he is NOT carrying his weight compared to other centers in the league. This is giving credence to what say_what and alg are saying; he is not worth his contract.
For those who don't think this team can draft, take a look at the production they have gotten out of our picks the last few years. PLUS, this move puts us in the market for Wade and Bosh in 2010. I love Tyson and will miss him, but there is some stuff to like about this trade.

Paul Treu named a 14-man Springbok Sevens squad for the next two World Series legs in Wellington and Las Vegas on Tuesday.
The 2011-12 Sevens World Series resumes on 3-4 February with the New Zealand leg in Wellington, followed by the USA leg in Las Vegas on 10-12 February. It's an important stage of the competition, with the top five teams still in contention for the overall title – making it one of the most open World Series races in several seasons. Fiji and defending champions New Zealand currently share first place on 51 points, South Africa are third on 48, while England (47) and France (39) trail closely behind in fourth and fifth place respectfully.
The Blitzboks come off a second-place finish at the PE Sevens last December, where they disappointingly lost 31-26 to New Zealand in the Cup final after conceding a try in the final play of the match. After Saru general manager Andy Marinos announced the team, head coach Treu said his players have overcome the heartbreak of PE and are geared up for the next two tournaments.
'Yes, PE was a huge disappointment. But the guys have arrived back here in Stellenbosch with a positive attitude and we now set our sights on Wellington and Las Vegas,' Treu told keo.co.za. 'We will be travelling with a 14-man squad, which provides us with the necessary injury cover. It's the biggest squad we've been able to take overseas.
'We have also trained very hard this past week and a half at our new base at the Stellenbosch Academy of Sports, which has been a big step up for our preparations. There are world-class facilities here, which has really motivated the guys.'
A notable selection in the squad is the inclusion of former Bulls centre Stephan Dippenaar, who has received his first senior SA Sevens call-up. Dippenaar signed a two-year sevens contract late last year after leaving Pretoria and is now set to make his national debut in Wellington.
'I'm very excited,' Dippenaar also told this site. 'I was disappointed to suffer a serious ankle injury at the beginning of the season, but I've worked very hard during my recovery. I got my first taste of international sevens with the academy squad in Uruguay earlier this month and really enjoyed it.
'I'm expecting a big step up over the next three weeks. But I believe I'll be able to do well for the team. All the guys are raring to go.'
Springbok Sevens squad for Wellington and Las Vegas: Kyle Brown (c), Chris Dry, Chase Minnaar, Frankie Horne, Boom Prinsloo, Cornal Hendricks, Branco du Preez, Paul Delport, Cecil Afrika, Steven Hunt, Mark Richards, Renfred Dazel, Bernado Botha, Stephan Dippenaar.

Why a career in medicine
I think I can say a few things about medicine. First, it's never been easy to be a doctor taking care of real people. My great grandfather set up practice in Appalachia, far from any urban center, and using ether and the most crude of instruments, set about bringing the beginnings of the surgical era to backwoods Kentucky. He carried a pistol to defend himself from angry family members if things got out of hand.
Second, the rate of change induced by scientific discovery, is far from slowing, and in fact, seems to be accelerating. My father's career in particular, spanning the era of specialization, witnessed the fruits of research from the National Institutes of Health in the first decades after World War 2. Broad scientific developments drove the discovery of hundreds of new medicines and the specialists who could understand and prescribe them. Lifespans have ...
How to cure toenail fungus
I have been asked many times about toenail fungus and how to treat it. It is a common condition and distressing to look at, at least from the patient's perspective. There are theories abound as to the cause or causes, and I've heard of treatments from tea-tree oil soaks to surgery, but the really bedeviling part about this affliction is the generally high likelihood of recurrence no matter what you do. The medications and some of the other treatments available seem to work for a time, only to fail later on. But there may be a solution.
A curious observation is that exercise...
High blood pressure in the doctor's office
"I don't get it! Everytime I come to your office my blood pressure is high. It's never like that anywhere else!"
"White Coat Hypertension" is very common and affects many people, even those who feel at ease with their physician. But whether your blood pressure is low or high at the doctor's office, if you've been told you might have hypertension, you are likely to find yourself at home, or in a grocery or drug store with your arm in a cuff trying to figure out if your blood pressure is reasonable. A key to successful self-measurement is knowing the proper technique.
The big studies of blood pressure in the population upon which we base all our definitions of normal and high values were careful to take their measurements in a standardized way. The patient should avoid coffee, tea, nicotine, and other stimulants for at least 30 minutes prior to the test. She should sit quietly for a full 10 minutes reading or softly conversing before measurement. Even reaching across the table to pull the BP cuff near is to be avoided. (Get the machinery next to you when you first sit down.) Use an upper arm cuff. Forearm and finger devices are not reliable. Feet should be flat on the floor, clothing comfortable, and a bare arm may be needed for some machines. Two or three measurements a few minutes apart may be averaged.
A few caveats to mention: if one arm is higher than the other, you have to go by the higher side. Humans have a natural 'diurnal' variation, with most of us having a little higher blood pressure in the morning compared with later in the day. Blood pressure rises with physical and mental exertion and takes some time to come down, so don't expect a resting value if you've not been at rest for 10 minutes or more.
Blood pressure is dynamic and always changing. The majority of values should be in a good range; your physician can help you determine if your numbers are in the range you need for optimal health.
Tips for getting the most out of your inhalers
"Darn! My inhaler is out and I am going to have to call today, a Sunday, to get a refill…"
Spring is here! And that means asthma season is back, and with the nicer weather, pollen counts are high. Flowers are wonderful and the trees beautiful, but if you are like me, some of those plants have your number. The beautiful smells come with itchy eyes, sneezes, and for some, a serious amount of wheezing.
Patients are reaching for their inhalers more often, and sometimes getting into serious respiratory trouble, especially if their medication is running short. Inhalers are expensive, too, and so using them optimally is both financially and healthfully important.
Fortunately, a couple of tricks can really help maximize an asthma spray's value.
The medication comes out fast and hard when you squeeze the canister, and it can be difficult to time your breath to inhale the dose well, plus with the energy of the release being so high, a lot of misted drug can zoom right out of your mouth. The trick is to use a 'spacer', and the simplest is a rolled up piece of paper, to about a one inch diameter. Tuck the sprayer in the far end, wrap your lips around the outside of the other end, and take your leisure squeezing and breathing! The tube holds the mist in place for a few seconds, letting you better coordinate your inhalation and improve substantially the amount of drug you get to where it is needed.
The second tip is to use a steroid inhaler daily if you need your rescue inhaler more than a few times a week. The rescue inhaler will become less effective the more you use it if you don't directly treat the inflammation of the allergic response in your bronchial tubes with a low dose of cortisone type medication. The dose of the latter is small and will not cause harm to the rest of your system if used according to directions, but it will keep your rescue medication most beneficial!
Can stress cause a rash?
"Did my stress cause this rash?!"
A patient recently asked this question half-jokingly, but as we talked further about his life circumstances, he came to the answer of his own question. Issues between him and a loved one came tumbling out, his persistent unhappiness with the present state of affairs made it clear that yes, very much so, his stress is playing a role in his rash.
How can this be possible? And if it is true, that our mental states can give rise to very straightforwardly visible physical maladies, how are we to respond?
The interplay of our minds and bodies runs deep. The more time I spend in the practice of medicine, the more amazed I am at the powerful effects that run back and forth between the two poles of our being, the physical and the mental aspects of our selves. Physical events, such as broken bones, strokes, and degenerative disease strike ...

The legislature is seated at the New York State Capitol in Albany.
As of May 2015, New York is one of 19 states that is under divided government and is therefore not one of the state government trifectas.
Article III of the New York Constitution outlines the legislative power for New York's government. Article III does not limit when the Legislature can convene in regular session. However, Section 18 of Article III does contain provisions related to special sessions of the Legislature. Section 18 states that a special session can be called by a petition of request from two-thirds of both legislative houses.
- See also: Dates of 2014 state legislative sessions
In 2014, the Legislature will be in session from January 8 through January 7, 2015.
Major issues
Major issues during the 2014 legislative session include a raise in the minimum wage, a cut in corporate tax rates, rebuilding airports and other infrastructure, legalizing medical marijuana and property tax rebates.[2]
- See also: Dates of 2013 state legislative sessions
In 2013, the Legislature was in session from January 9 to December 31.
Major issues
Gun control topped the list to be addressed by legislators in 2013. Other major issues included raising the minimum wage, securing federal dollars for victims of Superstorm Sandy, education, job creation, legalizing casinos off of Native American lands and restrictions to the New York City Police Department's stop-and-frisk procedures.[3]
Gun control:
Following the December 14, 2012 school shooting in Newton, Connecticut, Gov. Andrew Cuomo sought to make gun control a major issue in 2013. To that end, one of the first things the Legislature did in its 2013 session was to pass a tougher assault weapons ban that included restrictions on ammunition and the sale of guns, as well as provisions to keep guns from the mentally ill who make threats. New York was the first state to pass new laws after the tragedy.[4]
In July 2013, amid a legislative session riddled with political corruption, Governor Andrew Cuomo established an investigative committee by executive order under the Moreland Act and New York Executive Law. The committee, joined by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, is tasked with examining public corruption, including potential wrongdoing by legislators in campaign fundraising. Any branch of the state government is under the authority of the committee, which will recommend changes to law and ethics rules in addition to the possibility of referring any misconduct cases for prosecution. A preliminary report was due by December 1, 2013, with a final report expected by the end of 2014.[5]
- See also: Dates of 2012 state legislative sessions
In 2012, the Legislature was in session from January 4 through June 22.
Major issues
Redistricting was a divisive issue in 2011 and had to be dealt with in 2012. Other issues included addressing a $3.5 billion budget gap and a proposal to ban hydrofracking.[6]
In 2011, the Legislature will be in session from January 5 through a date to be determined by the Legislature.[7]
In 2010, the Legislature convened its regular session on January 6. The Legislature remained in regular session throughout the year. Additionally, the Legislature was in an ongoing special session, which convened in 2009, dealing with issues of deficit reduction.[8]
Ethics and transparency
Following the Money report
- See also: "Following the Money" report, 2014
The U.S. Public Interest Research Group, a consumer-focused nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., released its annual report on state transparency websites in April 2014. The report, entitled "Following the Money," measured how transparent and accountable state websites are with regard to state government spending.[9] According to the report, New York received a grade of B+ and a numerical score of 88, indicating that New York was "advancing" in terms of transparency regarding state spending.[9]
Open States Transparency
The Sunlight Foundation released an "Open Legislative Data Report Card" in March 2013. New York was given a grade of A in the report. The report card evaluated how adequate, complete and accessible legislative data was to the general public. A total of 10 states received an A: Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Kansas, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington.[10]

The New York Legislature is responsible for redistricting. While there is a six person commission on redistricting, known as the Legislative Task Force on Demographic Research and Reapportionment (LATFOR), it only acts in an advisory role. The final deal must meet with approval from the Department of Justice.[11]
2010 census
New York received its 2010 census data on March 23, 2011. The state's growth rate was at 2.19%, well below the national rate of 9.7%.[12] Redistricting became a major issue in the state prior to the November 2010 elections. Going into the elections, the organization NY Uprising asked all candidates to sign a pledge to support nonpartisan redistricting during the following legislative session. A majority of those who won in both chambers signed the pledge.[13] Additionally, Governor Andrew Cuomo consistently reiterated his pledge to veto any new maps that were not drawn through a nonpartisan process.[14] Meanwhile, Republicans added more friction to the process in September 2011 when they were said to be considering adding a 63rd seat to the Senate. Democrats balked, saying it didn't make sense to add a seat in the chamber when slow population growth caused the state to lose seats in Congress.[15]
The two sides battled over the issue of redistricting during the entire 2011 session. Following a number of delays, LATFOR released proposed Senate and Assembly maps on January 26, 2012. The Senate plan included the additional 63rd seat. Gov. Cuomo continued to threaten to veto the maps, but began to tone down his rhetoric.[16] On March 11, LATFOR filed a bill of their final plans, which closely resembled the maps they released two months earlier. Along with this, leaders offered a constitutional amendment that would set up a new bipartisan commission on redistricting following the next census in 2020.[17] Following a walkout of Senate Democrats, the bill passed. Later that week the constitutional amendment passed. However, in order to become law, it must be passed by the next separately elected legislature and also approved by voters in a referendum.[18] With that approved, Cuomo stated, "It's over once and for all"[19] and signed the maps into law.[20]
Legislative Houses
Legislative elections are held in November of every even-numbered year. Both Assembly members and Senators serve two-year terms without term limits.
In order to be a member of either house, one must be a citizen of the United States, a resident of the state of New York for at least five years and a resident of the district for at least one year prior to election.
The lower Assembly consists of 150 members, each chosen from a single-member district. The Senate includes a varying number of members. The New York Constitution provides that the default membership be fifty members. However, it provides that if any county would by virtue of its population be entitled to more than three Senators, then the first three Senators would count towards the limit of fifty, while the remainder would be in addition to the fifty. Currently, there are twelve additional Senators (who are in terms of legislative power equal to any other Senators), making the total membership sixty-two. This accounts for the large percentage of the state population taken up by New York City and its suburbs (usually estimated at about 60%, depending on which counties are included as suburbs). Senate districts are currently between two and three times more populous than Assembly districts.
Each member represents an average of 312,550 residents, as of the 2010 Census.[21] After the 2000 Census, each member represented 306,072.[22]
|As of May 2015
|Democratic Party

The chart below shows the partisan composition of the New York State Senate from 1992-2013.
Each member represents an average of 129,187 residents, as of the 2010 Census.[23] After the 2000 Census, each member represented 126,510.[24]
|As of May 2015
|Democratic Party
|Republican Party
The chart below shows the partisan composition of the New York State House of Representatives from 1992-2013.
Partisan balance 1992-2013
New York State Senate: From 1992-2013, the Democratic Party was the majority in the New York State Senate for two years while the Republicans were the majority for 20 years. The New York State Senate is one of 13 state senates that was Republican for more than 80 percent of the years between 1992-2013.
Across the country, there were 541 Democratic and 517 Republican state senates from 1992 to 2013.
New York State House of Representatives: During every year from 1992-2013, the Democratic Party was the majority in the New York State House of Representatives. The New York State House of Representatives is one of 18 state Houses that was Democratic for more than 80 percent of the years between 1992-2013.
Across the country, there were 577 Democratic and 483 Republican State Houses of Representatives from 1992 to 2013.
Over the course of the 22-year study, state governments became increasingly more partisan. At the outset of the study period (1992), 18 of the 49 states with partisan legislatures had single-party trifectas and 31 states had divided governments. In 2013, only 13 states had divided governments, while single-party trifectas held sway in 36 states, the most in the 22 years studied.
The chart below shows the partisan composition of the Office of the Governor of New York, the New York State Senate and the New York House of Representatives from 1992-2013.
SQLI and partisanship
The chart below depicts the partisanship of the New York state government and the state's SQLI ranking for the years studied. For the SQLI, the states were ranked from 1-50, with 1 being the best and 50 the worst. New York experienced a Democratic trifecta from 2009-2010. During half the years of the study, New York was ranked in the bottom-10. Its lowest ranking, finishing 43rd, occurred from 2005-2006, during a divided government. Its best ranking also occurred during a divided government, finishing 32nd in 2011.
- See also: Comparison of state legislative salaries
As of 2012, members of the New York Legislature are paid $79,500/year and per diem of $61/half day and $171/full day. Per diem varies and is tied to the federal rate.[25]
The $79,500/year that New York legislators are paid as of 2011 is the same as they were paid during legislative sessions in 2007.[26][27]
Some legislators in New York are able to begin collecting a state pension while still serving in office and also receiving their normal salary. Under state law, if a lawmaker took office prior to 1995, they are eligible to begin collecting an annual pension once they turn 65. Those who took office after 1994 are not able to collect a pension while still in office. As of 2011, Rep. Herman Farrell (D) was the highest-paid state legislator, collecting his $113,500 salary as well as a pension of $81,619.[28]
When sworn in
New York legislators assume office January 1st.
The Assembly is headed by the Speaker, while the Senate is headed by the President, a post held ex officio by the State Lieutenant Governor. The Lieutenant Governor, as President of the Senate, has only a casting vote. More often, the Senate is presided over by the Temporary President, who is also the Majority Leader, or by a senator of the Majority Leader's choosing.
The Assembly Speaker and Senate Majority Leader control the assignment of committees and leadership positions, along with control of the agenda in their chambers. The two are considered powerful statewide leaders and along with the Governor of New York control most of the agenda of state business in New York.
Party control
The New York State Legislature is currently split by party. There's currently a coalition between the Republican caucus and the Independent Democratic Conference at 35-26 with two not affiliated with any caucus and the Democrats hold a 106-43 seat majority in the Assembly. Among the top reasons for this split include the more conservative upstate region holding more clout in the State Senate, as well as Long Island, where voters are increasingly trending towards the Democrats on the state and local levels (Long Island was once overwhelmingly Republican) but continue to re-elect their incumbent Republican state senators (some of whom have served for many years, such as 30+ year veteran Caesar Trunzo, and most of whom have raised considerable amounts of money to deter challengers). Republicans currently hold eight of the nine state senate seats for Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
In recent years, Republicans in the State Senate have lost ground, particularly in Westchester County and New York City, though they still hold a few senate seats representing parts of Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island (which leans Republican at most levels of government). Economic troubles and population loss in Upstate New York is also a factor, as Democratic-leaning areas of that region have become more important in recent elections. In the past, Democrats would occasionally switch parties when they run for Senate so they could sit with the majority. Recent Democratic gains have led to fewer defections from the party.
The Assembly has been dominated by Democrats for about 30 years and Republicans have recently lost ground in this chamber as well. Between 2002 and 2005, the Republican conference dropped from 53 seats to 45. Republicans even lost some districts that historically have been reliably Republican, especially on Long Island. One crucial reason for the Democrats' dominance is that they control 63 of the 64 districts that are assigned to New York City (an extension of the party's dominance at most other levels in the city).
The Legislature is empowered to make law, subject to the governor's power to veto a bill. However, the veto may be overridden by the Legislature if there is a two-thirds majority in favor of overriding in each House.
Constitutional amendments
According to Article XIX of the New York Constitution, the state legislature has the power to propose amendments to the constitution as follows:
- Any proposed amendments must be referred to the New York Attorney General, who is required to provide a written opinion as to how the proposed amendment fits in with other provisions of the constitution.
- If both chambers of the legislature (the New York State Senate and the New York State Assembly) agree with the proposed amendment by a simple majority vote, the proposed amendment is then referred to "the next regular legislative session convening after the succeeding general election of members of the assembly."
- If that next session of the legislature agrees with the amendment by a simple majority vote of both chambers, "it shall be the duty of the legislature to submit each proposed amendment or amendments to the people for approval in such manner and at such times as the legislature shall prescribe."
- If a general statewide vote approves the amendment by a simple majority vote, it becomes a part of the constitution on the "day of January next after such approval."[29]

Lady Falcons Swept at North Greenville in Regular Season Finales; Must Rely on Others for Conference Tournament Bid
April 14, 2012
TIGERVILLE, S.C. - Pfeiffer University dropped a pair of crucial contests at North Greenville on Saturday in Conference Carolinas softball action. The Crusaders improve to 23-9 overall, 18-4 in league play while the Lady Falcons fall to 18-35, 7-15. Saturday marked the season finale for Pfeiffer currently on outside looking in for the league's final playoff spot.
Both teams were scoreless through four until a Sadie Saine infield single scored Rebecca Foil with the game's first run in the top of the fifth. Saine would later score on an outfield error putting the visitors up two.
The Crusaders quickly responded with four in the fifth, three unearned, before adding two more in the sixth, one unearned, for a 6-2 lead. Pfeiffer's final run came on a RBI-single from Melanie Conklin in the seventh. Saine led the Lady Falcons in game one with two of the seven hits.
In game two, Pfeiffer scored first again in the second after Saine led off with a triple and scored on Mikaela Strickland's groundout to second. Run-scoring singles by North Greenville in the second and fourth would doom the Lady Falcons. Conklin would finish game two 3-for-4 at the dish.
Pfeiffer now finds themselves in a four-team race for the final playoff spot. The Lady Falcons do host two of the three tiebreakers with pivotal games to be played Sunday-Wednesday to find out if they will make a trip to Coker for the Conference tournament next weekend.

Comments about Yankz Surelace System:
I've raced a couple triathlons in shoes laced with Yankz. During that time, I've found that they don't come loose unless you loosen them yourself (which is a good thing). While I've never tried any other model, I'd assume that cheaper ones would come loose through normal wear.

At least he isn't playing juniors.
Tuesday leagues back at Seviren Lang. Hope to have a better turnout than recent weeks (this past week at BT notwithstanding, when we had 10.) I'd still like to see more than 10, though.

Important Notice: The site is currently being upgraded to a new software system. This process could take a day or two to complete. During that time, we are going to leave the site up here, on its old software. WHAT GETS POSTED HERE DURING THIS TRANSITION WILL NOT BE COPIED OVER ONTO THE NEW SITE, WHEN THE UPGRADE IS COMPLETE.

Important Notice: We purchased and installed this classified ads software because we thought it would be a genuine enhancement to the GT classified ads system. I still believe it is a far better
alternative for a classified ads
section than the forum software, but people just don't seem to agree. I had hoped that people would take to the system and see its benefits after having used it for a while, but that hasn't happened.So, I am going to admit defeat and move the classified ads
section back onto the old message board forums. Posting permissions have been turned off in this software and the old classified ads forums have been reactivated. We will leave this software up through 27 June, 2014, so that people can refer to the old ads. Please
place all new ads in the classified ads forums. They can be found on GT's forums index, below the Armory section. Here is a direct link to that area: The Want Ads
Forums.In the coming weeks, we will be adding some features to the classified ads forums that will make them better suited for that purpose, while keeping the features and functionality of that system that people have shown they want.Please
keep in mind that all forum rules apply to the classified ads threads. Additionally, do not post in someone's ad to haggle or arrange a deal. Please contact them directly to negotiate. Also, if you think you know where someone can get the advertised item cheaper, or
you think the person is charging too much, or you don't like the product or seller, etc..., please keep it to yourself. Posting such things in someone else's classified ad thread is not allowed. If you see anyone violating the posting rules, or know of or suspect

Manu will definitely be in the draft, still deciding on AK47, though he'll probably be the same (even though his first year was earlier).

I agree about having Manu in the draft.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
For AK47, IMO he should be in some sort of supplementary draft of some sort.
Manu didn't play until 2002-2003. Put him in the draft.
Put AK-47 as a FA, since he started in 2001-2002 and should be in the NBA already.
It causes less drama and more fairness in my opinion.
I dont see why some contender should get to sign a rookie the weaker teams wanna draft. No biggie to me just my opinion
And another question is where is the Wizards Michael Jordan? He played around this time lol
R.I.P. to HunnyB/FlyGirl
Wait, Manu & AK47 are in the draft now? Sonuva.......
Darn it, I traded my '02 first knowing that there wasn't anyone in the draft that I needed, with it mainly being a PF/C-heavy draft..........guess that's what I get for actually doing my research for once......
Yeah, Jordan should be in this sim also.

Create a petition that we want to sign'em via FA!!!
why is songalia in the draft preview when hes on my team right now
As far as ratings go, I agree with Ballsohard that Dajuan Wagner should be get a big bump in Potential.
Luis Scola, Id prolly give him a C+ Inside, C- Outside, and C rebound.
Chris Wilcox ratings may be a little high.
Roger Mason Jr up his Outside a little bit.
Matt Barnes I would proly up his Defense a lil.
Mike Dunleavy I'd bump his outside up to like a B-.
Anderson Varajao I'd bump up his rebounding.
Those are my suggestions.
Nene outside and handles should increse.
Amare D should be up a little(as a good defender coming out of HS)
guys like Ely and Haslem should have a increase in rebounding. like a swap with the rebounding and inside
Butler defense needs to up a little
everything on Fake Fake should be a A
I think Scola's rating should be
and I think Manu should have a much higher ball handling rate than a C, and his inside should probably be a C+ or B-. I say C+ B B- A C B for Manu is very fair.
Experiment, for Yao which of these rankings fit better?
2nd one, first doesn't seem to be good enough for a player of Yao's caliber. I'd bump down the rebounding on the 2nd though.. but everything else on those ratings seem pretty accurate. Do the ratings take height into account?
[QUOTE=CP3forMVP;980662]Experiment, for Yao which of these rankings fit better?
I like this one

Three months after T3 opened to decent but unspectacular business, he was elected governor of California. A more face-saving rescue from his foundering movie career could hardly be imagined. Directed by Jonathan Mostow, T3 isn't great, but it's as strong a Terminator flick as we were going to get after Cameron wandered off in pursuit of unobtainium. It was smart enough to have its still-hulking 54-year-old star observe, with a perfect, digital absence of sentimentality, "I'm an obsolete design."
What's left for Arnold, then? He sports a terrifying gray goatee in The Tomb, a prison-break movie he's starring in with Stallone, due later this year. He's playing a crooked DEA agent in Ten, directed by Training Day scribe David Ayer, whose cop films are always worth seeing. Then there are the sequels, one of which is promising.
Schwarzenegger is set to appear in 2014's The Legend of Conan, reprising the role of the senescent warrior-king we glimpse resting on his throne in 1982's Conan the Barbarian, his starring debut. Writer-producer Chris Morgan has said the story will depict the warrior in winter, allowing Arnold to play more or less his actual age: a conqueror, seldom burdened by self-awareness, looking back on his bloody trail, withered by age and, just maybe, regret.
It sounds perfect.

Comments about Sixsixone Rhythm Knee/Shin Guard 2012:
Great for a light, breathable shin guard to stop pedal strikes, but falls short of knee coverage. I took a small dive in a parking lot and managed to both scrape my knee and tear a hole through the sock portion directly above the pad area. I sewed it easily enough, but I can't see these lasting through much abuse. Not too bad considering Jenson's price if they last a season or two, though.
Comments about Sixsixone Rhythm Knee/Shin Guard 2012:
its a good product for the money but when riding downhill i dont want to have to stop to adjust them .....no strap to tighten only used them once and already tore the mesh .....all in all they protect but i do not like them AT ALL ....spend your money on a better product (first time i have been dissapointed with a 661 product)

Diabetes Health Center
Consumer Group to FDA: Take Victoza off the Market
April 20, 2012 -- Public Citizen, the Washington, D.C.-based consumer advocacy group, is petitioning the FDA to immediately remove the type 2 diabetes drug Victoza (liraglutide) from the market. The petition claims that the injectable medication puts patients at risk of thyroid cancer, pancreatitis, serious allergic reactions, and kidney failure.
"More and more people are taking this drug, and more people are experiencing serious health problems as a result," Public Citizen director Sidney Wolfe, MD, said in a statement. "Clearly, the FDA's warning system is not sufficient. The drug should be taken off the market."
Novo Nordisk, the drug's manufacturer, strongly disputes Public Citizen's statement.
Victoza's Safety Profile
The drug's label currently warns patients and doctors that Victoza caused thyroid tumors and cancer in animal studies involving rats and mice. The label then states that it is unknown whether people taking the drug are at similar risk of such tumors and cancer, which can be fatal if not caught and treated early. It advises patients with a family history of such disease to avoid the drug and warns patients to see a doctor if suspicious lumps or other symptoms occur while taking the medication.
Pancreatitis, a severe and sometimes fatal inflammation of the pancreas, is also a possible side effect of Victoza. According to Public Citizen, patients taking Victoza were nearly four times as likely to be diagnosed with acute pancreatitis than patients taking other diabetes drugs. In the 17 months following the drug's 2010 approval, 200 patients reported having acute pancreatitis. Public Citizen believes that the real number of cases may be much higher.
"Because only an estimated 10% of cases are reported, potentially as many as 2,000 patients or more have suffered a painful and serious outcome as a result of taking Victoza," according to the statement from Public Citizen.
Victoza, which patients inject once a day, is one of a class of drugs that works by mimicking the hormone GLP-1. GLP-1 triggers the production of insulin when blood sugar levels rise too high. It is not a "first choice" medication, and doctors are advised to prescribe it only after other medications prove ineffective.
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

|Introduction | Noise in shadows | Noise in mid-tones | Noise in highlights | Summary | Annex
At higher light levels, another phenomenon appears. Each pixel has its own analog gain factor, which is directly related to the physical size of certain capacitors. This phenomenon is called Pixel Response Non-Uniformity (PRNU).
The resulting noise can be modeled as additive, with a standard deviation proportional to the signal, i.e., . The SNR in the highlight is approximately
where is a constant which is characteristic of pixel non-uniformity.
This implies that the SNR does not increase further when PRNU becomes the main source of noise (which could always happen because PRNU increases faster than photonic noise). However, sensors always have a saturation value and PRNU is usually not the dominant source of noise at this value. Moreover, PRNU is a fix bias and can be compensated for with a calibration.
Color sensitivity is an integral value over the whole curve characteristic. In particular it depends on the noise in highlights. However, it also depends on the sensor's spectral sensitivities which determines how the sensor can see the colors of the scene.

The Jay Jordan IFLA/OCLC Early Career Development Fellowship Program
This program provides early career development and continuing education for library and information science professionals from countries with developing economies. It is jointly sponsored by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) and OCLC.
Program overview
Up to five individuals are selected each year for participation in this intensive four-week Fellowship program based at OCLC's headquarters in Dublin, Ohio, USA. The program gives Fellows opportunities to meet with leading information practitioners and explore topics including information technologies, library operations and management, and global cooperative librarianship.
The Fellows visit many libraries, cultural heritage institutions and library organizations. The Fellows also observe OCLC's governance structure in action, gaining insight into issues affecting the global library cooperative. Fellows give presentations about their home countries and libraries and discuss real-world solutions to the challenges facing libraries today.
The Fellows translate their learning and experiences into specific professional development plans that guide their continued growth as well as their personal contributions to their home institutions and country of origin.
Program guidelines
The Fellowship Program is for library and information science professionals who are in early stages of career development and from countries with developing economies. Eligibility is limited to those who are from a qualifying country, have a degree in library or information science obtained within the past five years, and have at least three years, but no more than eight years, of library or information science experience. These and other qualifications are explained in detail in the Program Guidelines. Interested candidates should read the guidelines (available in PDF and Word format) and, if qualified, complete and submit the application (available in PDF and Word format) by the specified due date.
Sponsorship opportunities and general inquiries
The organizations that sponsor the Fellowship Program are seeking additional sponsorships from other interested organizations. For more information about sponsorship opportunities and general inquiries about the program, contact Nancy Lensenmayer, Program Director, OCLC Education and Professional Development.

"I could learn from multicultural colleagues we had the privilege to know, their difficulties and limitations, but also their stories of success and perseverance in promoting a more egalitarian society through access of information."
Janete Estevão
2006 Fellow
"The fellowship gave me the chance to learn about cutting-edge development in the world of library and information science. Whenever I talk to my former students now working in libraries and archives in Rwanda, and I look back where we have come from, I cannot thank you more. It is through the Jay Jordan IFLA/OCLC Fellowship Program that we got the impetus to work harder to save Rwanda's information heritage that was on the verge of total destruction."

What causes skin cancer and who is at greater risk of contracting it?
Anokhi Jambusaria-Pahlajani, M.D., dermatologist at Mayo Clinic in Florida, talks about skin cancer. She discusses the different types of skin cancer, signs to look for on your skin, causes, who's at risk and when you should get screened by a dermatologist for a baseline risk assessment.
