NBA: Developing a farm system
If a major league pitcher needs a rehab stint following a shoulder or elbow injury, they sometimes report to the minors for a tune up start or two. That's impossible in the NBA. The Development League has given NBA teams "minor league-like" options, but it's nothing like baseball's set-up. Center Robert Swift has been out the past three weeks with back spasms. Swift, though, won't have the option of a one-game tune up with Tulsa even though that's Oklahoma City's affiliate. Only players with two years experience or less can be assigned to the D-League. Why is the NBA different? The Players Association fears a coach might use the D-League as punishment, sending a veteran "down to the minors." Even if a player with three or more years experience was given the "option" of reporting to the D-League, the Players Association fears that player would feel he has no choice but to "go down" if he wants playing time when he returns to the NBA club. Under the current system, the huge drawback is other players could benefit. Thunder center Mo Sene won't ever live up to his lottery selection. He's nailed to the bench but would benefit from D-League playing time. That's not an option. The only player Oklahoma City sent to the D-League was Steven Hill, a 7-foot rookie center, who returned on Thursday after spending nearly a month in Tulsa. Even if changes are proposed, nothing will happen for at least three years. The Collective Bargaining Agreement runs through the 2010-11 season. NBA Players Association spokesman Dan Wasserman said it's rare to re-negotiate during the contract. "Last year the leather ball we had to negotiate, but usually we don't get involved in those things," Wasserman said. "If it were something as drastic as players rehabbing in the D-League I'm sure the league would come talk to us." Still, the NBA is inching closer to a Triple-A baseball-like setup. Stu Jackson, the NBA's executive vice president for basketball operations, said the goal is to have all 30 teams affiliated with a Development League team over the next five to 10 years. Right now only three NBA teams, including the Thunder, have direct affiliations. College programs and overseas leagues technically are the NBA's version of minor league baseball. It's not a bad setup. But with younger players joining the league, plus a tune-up following injuries, it could benefit dozens of players if the Players Association was willing to compromise.
D-League detailsThe NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement began with the 2005-06 season and runs through 2010-11. According to the CBA, players can be assigned to the Development League their first two seasons only, regardless of age or when they enter the league. Players can be assigned to the D-League only three times a season. While in the D-League players, are paid their NBA salary and must be one of the NBA team's 15 roster players.

At the beginning of this thread I don't think I would have been able to pick a favorite, but after seeing the matte carbon De Rosa...THAT"S IT!
Here's my new 61cm Cervelo S1. Not the caliber of bike that has been previously posted in this thread, but the best I've ever had. I'm really loving it. On to the pictures.
That is a nice paint scheme. too bad they don't use more white/red schemes in their other bikes.
Arguing with ignorant people is an exercise in futility. They will bring you down to their level and once there they will beat you with their overwhelming experience.

Super hot: Pinarello Prince, DeRosa, Moots.
Hot: Just about everything else. Especially vintage steel. I actually had a Cilo like the red one.
Not hot: The chopper and decal bikes.
Here's a couple of my restorations:
Photography and bicycles are to hobbies that merge nicely. After the bike is complete, I'll have some fun with my camera.
Bought the Ksyrium SL's for $400....Wanted something light and durable....
Considered Campy, but I built this bike myself. (complete newb)...The used 7800 pieces cost me around $700.
Seven Ti= $1000
Dura Ace 7800=$700
Saddle/Seat post/Stem/Handlebar $450 all added by a pro during a very long fitting...In other words, those parts were all measured to fit me. (I liked the straight Thomson masterpiece seat post better too, but the pro put me on the slanted one)
Total cost= A bit over 2K..
Value of my experience building bike= Priceless.
not the best pics. found this nos frame on ebay. just what i needed to build the backup bike i'd been planning.
I hate the way it fits my bike stand for maintenance...
I'll go back to my fitter and ask for a straight bar.. (unless there is something we are missing here------Best fitter in the DC area-----I trust these people.

If you happened to be watching the VMA's the other night, then you'll probably recall the absurd all-meat "dress" that Lady Gaga arrived wearing. The dress has been the topic of many conversations since Sunday night, but perhaps none as entertaining as the choice words that Jimmy Kimmel Live host Jimmy Kimmel (see what we did there?) had on his show last night. Take a look at what Kimmel had to say in the video on the left, my gentle Examiner readers...
At this point, we should all know that if Lady Gaga's been invited somewhere, she's going to show up in the most disastrously over-produced outfits that someone can assemble for her. We've seen the "Kermit Dress" (that's over there on the right), and on Sunday we were introduced to a dress composed entirely of meat. Even for Gaga, this was a bit of a stretch. Jimmy Kimmel had some words for Lady Gaga and her dress on his show last night, and you can see that for yourself in the video on the right.
By the way, a note on the current video system: you may have noticed that the box is showing a message that says "Your Video is Still Loading". Please, ignore this message and just go ahead and click on the box there. We're in the newest stage of Examiner.com 2.0, so there are bound to be a couple hiccups, and this may be one of 'em. I assure you: the video's there, you're just going to have to click one extra time to see it. Don't be scared: click your mouse, watch the hilarity unfold.

Pakistan's main business newspaper "Business Recorder" published from Karachi and Islamabad observed Monday that Chinese "quasi ownership" of Gwadar Port on Pakistan's Arabian Sea coast could become a "game changer" of the existing situation in the region.
In a news analysis carried as its lead story titled "China in Baluchistan," the newspaper said it would throw a challenge, in the midterm to all Iranian ports in the Persian Gulf from Chah Bahar to Bandar Abbas and from Bushahar to Khuramshahar, as well as United Arab Emirates' Dubai Port.
The analysis by the news editor Sarfraz Ahmad, who is also a member of the American Economic Association, believes that the Chinese presence in Baluchistan Province is profoundly bad news for Baluch insurgents demanding an independent Baluchistan and for outside powers that feel threatened by full operations of Gwadar Port.
It said the possible construction of railways and highways between Gwadar and Khunjrab Pass and Karachi are developments that indicated "an advancement of Beijing's geo-strategic interests in South Asia."
"There is little doubt that Baluchistan areas undergoing massive development will soon be witnessing road signs in addition to English and Urdu languages in the Chinese language" as has already happened in Central Asian countries where China has been carrying out massive development work.
In his address to the national assembly after election as prime minister last Wednesday, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif praised the outgoing government's decision to hand Gwadar Port to Chinese control.
He revealed that during a meeting with him in Islamabad in May, visiting Chinese Premier Li Keqiang had expressed his readiness to lay railway tracks and construct highways between the two countries, "without any loss of time."

After your 3 months post tentonomy boots and bar 23/7 wear, how long did your doctor give your baby out of the AFO's per day? Just a curiosity question on what timelines people have now they are complete with the 23/7 wear. And how many years are they suggesting? 8 hours out a day for 4 years? 12 hours out a day for 2 years?
How much free time after 23/7 Boots and Bar wear?
Comments (8)
My son has been out of his 23/7 boots for a month now. He has to wear his boots during nap and bedtime. We shoot for at least 15 hours with his boots on, so 8 hours no boots :)
We have a follow up appointment in one month, and then hopefully we will go to just nighttime wear, so only 12 hours in boots.
We were told he will wear the boots for 12 hours until he is 4.
Mine has been on only night-time since February. Otherwise, during the day, he doesn't have anything on.
Thanks. Its interesting to see how it varies for each case. Wonder if its due to severity or doctors opinions on treatment. Either way I guess its just best we all trust and follow our doctors orders ;)
We did 23/7 for the full 3 months and then went to 12 hours, nights only. We have a case of very flexible feet. We have been told its going to be a tentative schedule throughout and we have him coming in every 3 months to get checked out. We will then evaluate how to proceed each time. But if it stays the same, we will just continue with nights only.
I was curious/skeptical to not get told nights AND naps, since that seems the norm. Either way we will be keeping a close eye on it daily.
Everyone enjoy the free time!
I am so excited to get to only nighttime wear. Having daycare put on his boots is a pain, they can never seem to get them right :)
Thats right Heather, they have a built in toy for when they wake up early in the morning. My son is chewing on his shoes every day when I go get him :)

Hello, ladies, I'm new to your board.
My DD is 9 months old, and I've yet to begin vaxing her. She has not yet had any, including the Heb B, & Vit. K at birth. She is EBF, very healthy, and I'm trying to decide on when to begin the few vaccinations she will receive. I've contemplated starting at the 1-yr mark, and when I do start she will get them one at a time. I'm very fortunate to have an amazing ped who, while being pro-vax, is very supportive of delaying & selectively vaxing.
Please share your delayed schedules, any vax's you've chosen to not do, and why. Thanks!

Thank you for your review and also updating with the splash case as an alternative! It is much more reasonably priced and is exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you again!

Very light, but looks a little plasticky,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Amazon Kindle Touch Leather Cover, Black (does not fit Kindle Paperwhite) (Accessory)
The Touch cover from Amazon has some good and some bad properties.
On the good side, it's very light: at 4 oz it is noticeably lighter than the previous generation of covers. My Kindle Touch fits in very snugly with no wasted space.
On the negative side, it looks and feels rather plasticky. I ordered the plain black version and the front and back outer covers are a shiny black leather. At first I thought the back exterior was simply black plastic, and it took a close examination to realize it is the same leather as the front cover. The front inner cover is a soft felt. The inner body where the Kindle sits is plastic. There is no fastener or band to hold the cover closed.
This is my fourth Kindle and cover. The Touch cover looks much more like a "gadget" cover than the earlier ones. It looks rather like an old Palm PDA cover I had, or like some ipod covers. The previous Kindle covers had a textured leather appearance and they looked more like book or notebook covers.
Right now I am having rather mixed reactions. I definitely like the fact that it adds so little weight to the Kindle. However it does look rather cheap. For $40 I was expecting a little more.
I think I am going to have to use this for a while before reaching a final conclusion.
Update November 29th: Tastes will vary, but in the end I decided that this was not the right look or feel for me and I have switched to a different cover (the Splash SAFARI). That is similar to the old Kindle 3 cover, with a textured leather appearance and an elastic fastener strap.

Don't you guys find the splash one too heavy? 8 oz? I am kind of holding back because of the weight.

Graham says:
According to my postal scales, the Splash Safari cover weighs 4.5 ounces. I checked again on a different set of scales and got the same answer.

Jessie Ngo says:
How do you like the Splash, would you recommend it for a student? I need a cover that is slim but stylish at the same time. I hate those elastic that holds the kindle to the cover.

It does not look plasticky to me and by the way smell it!!!!!!! It is real leather. The best cover I have purchased. Very light, as you say. But as you don't say VERY RICH LOOK AND FEEL!

We are on day 108 in the NICU. Zach has an ileostomy & that is the only reason that we are still there. He is taking all of his feeds by bottle or breast, gaining weight (slowly), no A,B,D's. I am most likely going to be bringing him home with the ileostomy & then he will go back to have his intestines reattached. Has anyone brought your baby home with an ostomy? If so, how did it go for you?
Does or did any of your LO's have an ostomy?
My son Keegan had an ostomy after just a few days in the NICU, he got that one reversed in Nov. 06 only to have to get another colostomy in the summer of 2007. He has Hirschsprung's Disease and it was not diagnosed till a year after his birth. He was finally able to have a Suave procedure and they removed about 1/3 of his colon and then reconnected the rest to his rectum and he has had no problems since then, he's now finally gaining weight too!!! Good luck I remember for us it was a lot of trial and errors till we got it all figured out!!

Baby #2 on the way!!! Due to arrive July 17, 2010!!!
I feel so bad for our children having to endure all of this...gee...108 days in the NICU, hats off to you for keeping your sanity!!! Im sure there are ups and downs but WOW you are one strong mommy!
Vanessa mommy to:
Castalia, EA/TEF 30 weeker, 03/09. Ophelia, 01/13.

We almost did, and they still don't know whats going on with his GI track. He's and interesting kiddo! They thought he had Hirschprung's and will be tested for ultra short segment soon. But I'm going to flag this! I did rectal irrigations on him for 2 months and that was a pain, I can't imagine this refeeding thing! Best of luck to all of you ladies!
DS was borrn @ 33 weeks with a whole list, but a magical spirit :)
Hi there.. my son had an illiostomy done on 6/1/09. He had a piece of his large intestine and a piece of his colon removed. He was released from the NICU on 6/27/09 with his baggie. Ostomy care has been a pain in the rear at times but we do it with out a problem(anything for our son). The biggest problem we found were the leaks... when my sis in law would take care of him they would go thru 5 yes I said 5 bags a day and now that I'm an at home mom we only go thru 1 a day... Its not too bad but it is the leaks that drive u crazy only because it makes them uncomfortable. We use the holister brand and they send us a box of different products to try.. we tried that seal thing and big mistake, it lasted only 1 hour then leaked and when we removed it it caused a sore around the stoma which has not healed. Luckily my son is now 10 lbs and 4oz and is scheduled to have his re-attachement surgery on Wed. so wish us luck and keep us in your prayers.. Hang in there Dawnene going home doing ostomy care is worth having ur little one home with you.
Brianna: 6/25/05 our termie
Nathaniel: 04/28/09 arrived 10 weeks early **NEC survivor**
Bella:11/04/11 (prayer really works:) got another termie)
My son will go home from the NICU next week with an ostomy. It has been a challenge finding a bag to fit him since the colostomy and mucus fistula are so close together. He has had it for 2 weeks now and after taking an ostomy class I am learning how to change it myself. I don't think it will be as bad as I initially thought. Getting the wafer to stick to his skin is difficult. The surface area we are working with on a 5 1/2 lbs baby also complicates matters. Knock on wood, the bag he currently has on has lasted for over 32 hours now - a record! I just worry about his skin breaking down around the stomas.
Luke was born with imperforate anus, and also a malrotated stomach and duodenal atresia, and he will have surgery for IA in about 6 months. The surgeon said Luke will be reconnected by 1 year of age. It is going to be a long year, but maybe not as long as the last two months have been!
Proud Mom to DS (11), DD (9), and DS (7/22/09 29 weeker NICU 74 days�)
Charlie had an ileostomy due to a bowel perforation when he was 5 days old. He had a reinostomosis about 65 days later. He's now 2 and completely fine.

TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 15 – Southern Utah (2-5) softball continued early season tournament play with an appearance at the Hillenbrand Invitational at the University of Arizona on Thursday. The T-Birds started the day with a 7-0 loss to Nebraska (6-0) before bouncing back to down Utah State (0-6) by a final score of 6-4. The game marked the second time that SUU has faced the Aggies this year, and the second time it came away with a win.
Nebraska jumped out to an early 5-0 lead in the first matchup of the day, with five runs in the opening frame. Freshman infielder Hailey Decker capped off the scoring with a two-run blast to center. The Huskers added two more scores in the third inning with an RBI single and a sacrifice fly to stretch the margin to 7-0.
The Thunderbirds threatened to score in the bottom of the seventh after Kelsey Bryant singled through the left side to put a runner on with just one out. A fielder's choice and a line out to third brought the game to an end.
Senior Danielle Axe (1-2) took the loss for the T-Birds after surrendering seven runs, five earned, on six hits in three innings. Ashely Ostler also made an appearance in the circle for SUU, throwing three scoreless innings with a pair of strikeouts. Emily Lockman (2-0) went the distance for Nebraska, earning a complete game shutout while giving up just four hits and striking out three.
After a quick turnaround, Southern Utah retook the field for a matchup with Utah State. The Thunderbirds put up the opening run in the second game as Mikkel Griffin homered to right center in the first inning to make the score 1-0.
The Aggies plated a pair of scores in the fourth inning to take the lead, but SUU answered by putting up five runs in the bottom half of the frame to jump out in front, 6-2. Cora Cordova brought the first two in with an RBI triple to right field before the Thunderbirds loaded up the bases as Kelli Hales and Megan Neilson both drew walks. Bryant then drove a base-clearing double to center to stretch the advantage to four.
Utah State chipped away at the lead with a run in the sixth and another score in the seventh, but SUU pitcher Ariel Zimmerman recorded the final out with a strikeout to preserve the 6-4 win.
Zimmerman (1-3) tossed a complete game for Southern Utah, allowing just four runs on seven hits while striking out three batters, to pick up her first win of the year. Noelle Johnson (0-3) took the loss for the Aggies after giving up six runs over four innings.
The Thunderbirds return to the field tomorrow afternoon at the Hillenbrand Invitational where they will meet up with No. 16/17 Arizona at 4:00 p.m. and Purdue at 8:00 p.m. Coverage of the games is available at www.suutbirds.com.

» Mannatech, Inc., Q4 2008 Earnings Call Transcript
Gary M. Spinell
Thank you. Good morning, everyone. This is Gary Spinell, and I welcome you to Mannatech's second quarter 2009 earnings call. Before we begin the call I will first read the Safe Harbor statement. During this conference call we may make forward-looking statements which can involve future events or future financial performance. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of phrases or terminology such as will continue, may, believe, intend, expects, potential, should, and plan, or other similar words, or the negative of such terminology. We caution listeners that such forward-looking statements are subject to certain events, risks, uncertainties, and other factors, and speak only as of today. We also refer our listeners to review our SEC submission.
Thank you, and now I will turn the call over to Mr. Wayne Badovinus, Mannatech's President and CEO.
Wayne L. Badovinus
Hello, and good morning, everyone. This is Wayne Badovinus, President and CEO of Mannatech. It is a pleasure to be here to update you on our progress. The economic environment and current foreign exchange market continue to create a challenging environment for most companies and Mannatech is no exception. At the same time, we are beginning to build on the foundation of sales and recruiting growth we described in our last call. We believe maintaining this recruiting growth and ultimately generating sales and profitability will be the result.
Our version of an economic stimulus plan or the Y.E.S. Plan as we call it, was launched in late January. There has been great associate enthusiasm and excitement about this plan, throughout North America and South Africa. Our domestic pack sales have increased dramatically compared to last year. Quarterly recruiting totals are at the highest level in over a year and attendance at our regional events is up appreciably compared to last year, and we continue to aggressively manage expense levels.
While many of our results are positive, the company still reported a net loss of $5.5 million or $0.21 per share in the second quarter of 2009. This compares to a net loss of $10.5 million or $0.40 loss per share for the second quarter of 2008.
Net income was negatively impacted due to the short-term costs associated with greater pack sales and expanding our customer base. Steve Fenstermacher, our CFO, will provide additional insight on this in a few minutes.
Our operating expenses for the second quarter of 2009 were $29.9 million, a 38.6% savings compared to the second quarter of 2008. We have now operated at lower levels of operating expenses for a full year. Second quarter 2009 sales were $77.6 million, a decrease of 10.6% from the same quarter in 2008.
Although North American market sales were lower than last year by 11.6%, they were up 8.8 compared to the first quarter of this year. International sales in the quarter were down 9.1% versus prior year results. This decrease was partly due to the challenging economy worldwide and negative foreign currency rates. At the same time we see evidence that our emphasis on Mannatech's business-building opportunity, our proprietary products, is beginning to generate increasing results.
International sales were actually slightly higher for the quarter in comparison to the second quarter of 2008 when calculated on a local currency basis. We see additional evidence the business is coming to life. Earlier I mentioned the increase in regional meeting attendance. Our message of a great business opportunity combined with a unique line of proprietary products is reaching many new demographics. There has been a much more diverse audience at our events, including many from the Hispanic community. In fact, this more diverse audience has required us to have translation capabilities available at our regional meetings in multiple languages.
Our increasing worldwide presence is creating growth around the globe. During the last quarter, an associate became our first Platinum Presidential from South Africa. Also of note we now have a Platinum Presidential who has a downline represented in all 12 countries in which Mannatech currently operates its business.
Our presidential level is a major achievement in our associate base. The platinum level has the distinction of being the highest level presidential, so the creation of a new platinum and the growth of existing platinums is very significant in relationship to our company's growth.
We also are seeing strong evidence of growth in our associate leadership levels. Our North American associates reach new leadership levels in the second quarter at double the rate of the first quarter. The increase was almost more than all of last year. Leadership level growth to date is 42% higher than all of last year combined. One of our key Mannatech athletes will reach presidential status in the next few months. Ten more are in position to also achieve this level in the next six months.

STOCKTON - Gary Hickey thought his legal problems would be resolved by now. But candidate for San Joaquin County district attorney, who's dealing with a hit and run case, a DUI arrest, and an incident involving another man who suffered a dislocated hip, will be back in court June 9 for another hearing.
HIckey appeared in a Stockton courtroom early Monday on the hit and run case which stems from a 2013 crash in which he's accused of leaving the scene. But because Hickey is running for district attorney, the local office has a conflict and the case will now be handled by the state Attorney General's Office. And because there have been two more incidents involving Hickey in just the past several weeks, the state needs more time before proceeding.
Hickey interpreted the continuance as a sign the Lodi DUI case will fail.
"They have no case. It was a political arrest in order to put me in a bad light. They've had the case a month. That's enough time to file a DUI," Hickey said.
He then snapped at the question of continuing his candidacy.
"Has there been any conviction? Has there been any conviction? I'm gonna run like hell. Jesus, that's a silly question. I'm a trial lawyer, I don't quit," he said.
HIckey is one of two candidates for San Joaquin County district attorney. His opponent is current prosecutor Tori Verber Salazar.

I recently bought this bike not knowing what it was, turns out to be a 61' Puch Bergmeister. I'm trying to decide how much money and effort i should put into this restoration. The bike is in good condition, I have thoroughly cleaned and removed all rust. If it's only worth around $300 all built up, I won't be taking too much care of it. However, If it's worth more i will definitely get some decals and pay more attention to this piece. I know i don't have all the components yet, and this post will decide which ones i get.
Frame - 57cm 1961 Puch Bergmeister w/ Oiler port in the BB, and Pump mount.
Cranks/BB - Puch 61
Front derailleur - Campagnolo ?
Brakeset - Weinmann vainqueur 999
Bars - French track bars
Cable guide - Campagnolo ?
Shifters - Campagnolo downtube
Freewheel - J.Moyne 4 speed freewheel

Permian Basin Strategic AlternativesLINN Energy has retained RBC Richardson Barr to assist with evaluating multiple strategic alternatives to maximize value for the Midland Basin portion of its Permian position. Alternatives include potential asset trades, a cash sale of the position, pursuing an active drilling program and joint ventures. LINN's current position for prospective horizontal Wolfcamp consists of approximately 55,000 net acres with approximately 630 gross operated potential locations with a 95 percent working interest, 87 percent of which are held by production. Additionally, the Company has approximately 455 gross potential locations with approximately 50 percent working interest, which will require forming a unit. The number of prospective horizontal locations primarily includes the Wolfcamp A and B benches. The potential for future delineation of additional benches could provide further upside to the Company's estimated drilling locations. Of LINN's total current Permian production of approximately 26 MBoe/d, 17 MBoe/d is associated with 1,275 wells in the Midland Basin with an 88 percent working interest.

I dunno, if science thought me something its that they're made of gas and fire eats gas and thus completing the circle of fire eats gas life.
Boo get it strait. When my friends say Ludwig is a girl, or say Ludwig koopa I get mad...

Before we send the bell cow out to pasture, it might be worth looking at 2011 production:
Frank Gore averaged 4.3 yds/ carry
Kendall Hunter averaged 4.1 yds/carry
Over seven seasons, Frank has average 4.7 yds/carry. So you might say that he has lost a step.
But his best year, 5.4 yds/carry in 2006 was in Norv Turner's vertical offense with Antonio Byrant being a credible deep threat.
Hopefully, with the addition of so much speed and talent at WR. It will be difficult for teams to stack the box and dare Alex to beat them through the air. With more team speed on offense, I look for Gore to have a better yards/carry average this year, but in a more limited role as Greg Roman's scheme has to take advantage of LaMichael James homerun talents.

2011 SE Racing draft lite Singlespeed, got here brand new for 200$
It's a pleasure to ride, feels like a big bmx bike! Before anyone comments, I realize my seat is low, I know this and have no intentions of raising it. After 20 years on a bmx bike I almost never sit down!
I had SE Draft once as a commuter, 2008 I think, the frame was actually made by Fuji. The ride was smooth, it was a steel frame, but it had lots of problems with wheels and drivetrain: cheap, weak parts. I ended up replacing pretty much everything on that bike, about $400 worth. Then I sold it as I never warmed up to the SS thing.

I wouldn't trust it then to hold an iPhone.
BTW, email me if you have questions (see my sig), I don't come here as often as I used to.
Those plastics are tough to glue because as they cool after coming out of the mold the have a glaze rise to the surface. The roughing it up was the key to getting it to stick. I use to do plastics printing and to get the ink to stick we had to flame treat them just before printing to burn it off the surface and then use a NASTY ink with a lot of chemicals in it to basically chemically melt its way onto the surface.

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C.---A 70-year-old driver accidentally struck his 65-year-old wife tonight in the parking lot of the North Augusta Food Lion.
The man was backing up his vehicle so his wife could get in the car from her motorized cart when he pressed the gas instead of the brake.
Both were transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.

Julie Bender takes fine-art pyrography to new heights
Featured Artists
Mike Larsen | Illuminating the Past

1. Re: Is it possible to pass CCNA by reading at home (without attending classroom)ciscoskeemz Dec 5, 2009 9:11 AM (in response to ashwinwriter)
Is it very possible to pass the CCNA by using self-study material....There are two great ccna CBT products, one from CBTNuggets and the other from TrainSignal. Also, Cisco Press has some great publications for the exam. They key is to get hands on practice....whether that means buying and setting up your own lab, or renting some rack space...doesn't matter, as long as you get the practice. You can rent rack space from www.thebryantadvantage.com and
INE.com also has a CCNA video course, you may want to check that out
2. Re: Is it possible to pass CCNA by reading at home (without attending classroom)Darwin R CCNA/CCDA Dec 5, 2009 9:21 AM (in response to ashwinwriter)
Hello and welcome Ashwin,
This is just as good and any to ask this type question.
There are those that have successfully obtained the CCNA certification without attending a formal class. There are various ways that individuals have gone about completing this objective (years of experience in the field, use of books with router/switch simulators, really dog on smart...etc). It really depends on you and your ability to aborb this complex information.
Below is the link to the 'IT Certification and Career Paths' Introduction page. There you will find links to the various certifications with associated information to assist you with getting a better understanding of what each entails and some direction on what resources you may need to obtain them.
3. Re: Is it possible to pass CCNA by reading at home (without attending classroom)Jared Dec 5, 2009 9:48 AM (in response to ashwinwriter)
It is possible? Yes, it is. However, things like the classroom, labs and hands on experience will help increase your chances of passing. Cisco Exams are no small task. Even very experienced engineers have failed Cisco exams.
4. Re: Is it possible to pass CCNA by reading at home (without attending classroom)Martin Dec 6, 2009 10:35 AM (in response to ashwinwriter)
Yes, but it depends on your personal preferences and it helps if you have networking experience or experience self-studing and passing exams.
I would say get CBTNuggets and/or TrainSignal. Also, W. Odom's books from Cisco Press has some Practice test. (get 2 books and take CCENT first).
Finally, Packet tracer is a must! it helps studying as its simulation mode shows you how, when, what packets are traversing the network.
You need to know that for good career in networking.

- Consolidated assets remained relatively flat at $916,274,000 at March 31, 2012 versus $916,571,000 at March 31, 2011.
- Loans decreased (10.1%) to $491,383,000 at March 31, 2012 compared to $546,641,000 at March 31, 2011.
- Deposits decreased (1.8%) to $772,597,000 at March 31, 2012 from $786,754,000 at March 31, 2011.
- Net interest income decreased (3.5%) to $6,528,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $6,768,000 for the same three-month period a year ago.
- There was no provision for loan losses charged to operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $3,930,000 for same period last year. Our allowance modeling indicates that no additional provision was necessary, primarily due to the decrease in total loans outstanding, reduced charge-off levels, and adjustments for loan loss migrations within the portfolio as previously announced. For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, net charge-offs totaled $706,000 or .57% annualized of average loans, down (64%) compared to first quarter 2011, which totaled $1,958,503 in net charge-offs representing 1.4% annualized of average loans.

Last night, Fox News host Mike Huckabee went on "The Daily Show" to hawk his new Christmas book and offer up another in a long list of defenses for commuting the sentence of Maurice Clemmons, the Tacoma man who murdered four police officers.
Huckabee offers Jon Stewart a mea culpa with an asterisk: he's sorry for the horrible tragedy, but doesn't think Clemmons' final actions are the result of his nine-year-old decision. (A point we actually agree with.) But Huckabee does manage to get something very, very wrong during the seven-minute interview. Check out the one-minute mark when Huckabee tells Stewart where Clemmons, a native of Marianna, Ark, originally hails from.

Have you ever taken a system, developed by numerous different developers (piecemeal) over the course of several years and attempted to port it to another platform? It's not funny, it's not fun.
That is exactly what we did with Go2Mac.com in May. Bowing to your never ending pressure to ditch our Windows NT hosting solution we made the gargantuan leap of faith to a totally Mac OS-based hosting solution with the help of the gurus at Danger Island.
Nothing elicits more reader feedback than our sightings feature, and Tuesday's post (Sex and the PowerBook: A Sighting) was no exception. The concensus seems to be that TiBooks have been spotted on five shows: The West Wing, ER, Dawson's Creek, Dark Angel and Roswell, with The West Wing probably being the first.
Any twenty-fifth anniversary for Apple computer products would occur this year (2001 as Apple was founded in 1976). As 2001 is not yet over, there is still time for them to do something*. However, if you calculate from the date of incorporation, 1977, then that would be 2002 as the article suggests (sort of like which is the real millennium). However, "twenty-fifth Anniversary Macintosh" is a misnomer (or at the very least misleading) since the Mac was not introduced until 1984.
Linguists of the world unite! I want to append yesterday's note about the stories that generate the most of your feedback. PowerBook and Mac sightings are probably the biggest feedback generators closely followed by anything related to code-names. Our story on the new PowerMac G4, code-named Tessera, ("New Desktop G4 Enclosure due at Macworld") was no exception. Following are some of your conspiracy theories on the origin of the code name.

There was this link on the bike clubs web site - a great story of what is possible. I am sure a few of our more accomplished riders will relate. http://www.northeastcycling.com/NE_Climbs_main.html
Also - if you are into the big hill climb races, here is a description of the big ones in the NE
My first attempt at a race will be Whiteface (listed in this site) is late June. Never raced before - I just want to survive... I may take a crack at Graylock (also listed) as it is close - just to get ready, it will reopen with fresh pavement on the 22nd after being closed for the last year.
I can't tell you why I want to do this, I guess it is an S&M thing.
