Does anyone know their formula?
Nikon's new (est) camera is the D3200...Nikon does not have any more (new) two digit cameras, so it goes 1 series, 3 series, and 4 series. Does it really matter what cameras are called? Andy
Not to be an stickler but, it is really not that confusing. Andy
Canon makes sense to me. The have 1 digit cameras, 2 digit cameras, and 3 digit cameras. 1digit>2digit>3digitSo less digits = better. Makes sense. in the 1 digit cameras, lower number = better. 2 and 3 digit cameras, higher number = better. Kinda weird but ok. Then you have nikon. They have 1 digit, 2 digit, 3 digit, and 4 digit camers. 1 is the best, but 3 is better than 2 and 4? There doen't seem to be any rhyme or reason to their naming scheme. their new low end camera is D5200? Has there been 52 different low end cameras?? I'm so confused. Does anyone know their formula?
If not confusing, then at least inefficient and kinda odd.

Quote from: Tcapp on May 09, 2012, 03:50:51 AMCanon makes sense to me. The have 1 digit cameras, 2 digit cameras, and 3 digit cameras. 1digit>2digit>3digitSo less digits = better. So what is Canon going to do after the EOS 90D and the EOS 950D? Hmm? Then things will probably get confusing.Given how Canon uses Roman numerals for the generations of the single digit cameras, things could start looking silly if they keep the 5D and 1DX monikers for a while. Just think of things like 5D mk XXIV (we will have to wait a long time for that one) or 1DX mk IX. *grin*
Quote from: Tcapp on May 12, 2012, 02:25:23 AMIf not confusing, then at least inefficient and kinda odd.It was easier around 2004/2005 or so. There was the D100, which was the crop-sensor camera. Then there was the D1 series, which continued on the F1/F2/F3/F4/F5 series of their pro-level bodies. The pro-level digital bodies were sometimes given sensor or feature upgrades mid-lifecycle, so they were given an X or H suffix (1Dx, 2Dh, etc.)Then, they introduced the D70. Which was better than the D100. But later, they upgraded the D100 and continued its line into the D200/D300/D300s.The D70 line continued to the D80 and D90. What's the next logical number? That's a problem.On the lower end of things, Nikon started a lower-end camera below the D70 to compete with the digital Rebels. They started with a D50, added a lower D40, upped that with a D40X and then a D60. Where to go next? That's a problem.So they seemingly pulled back and went with a new naming scheme: The low-end was renamed the D3000. Successors were the D3100 and now the D3200.Above that, they went to the D5000, and now the D5100 with a rumored D5200 along the way.The D70/80/90 also went to a four-digit naming convention with the current D7000.The D100/200/300 is now the (outdated) 300s, which some people will say could go full-frame, others argue it will stay DX, but who knows at this point.Then the full-frame below-"pro" body was announced with the D700, and now the D800 series.And there's still the pro series. They just do a +1 with every new generation, and of course, sometimes a suffix.So no, not confusing at all ... The naming madness is due to the fact that digital camera tech is ever-evloving, and cameras need to be updated a wee bit more often than their film counterparts did.
SO d700 is a separate series from the d800? does that mean that will will see a d710 and d810? Cause if they just go and make a d900, then they run out of names again.
It's just the same as Intel and AMD processors.Ever tried figuring out what Intel processor does what? Some have 2/3/4/6/8 cores, some have VT, some have XD bit, some have SSE/SSSE3/SSE4, some don't, some use QuickPath, some FSB, some DMI.I just gave up and bought an AMD Phenom.(Cheaper too.)

medication works for pulmonary arterial hypertension because what
this disorder does is increase the blood pressure in the pulmonary
vein, artery or capillaries leading to fainting, dizziness
and shortness

and Viagra releases this pressure.

pill's effectiveness on children is "sufficient."

most studies of adults with the disorder, they are asked to perform
exercise tests. However, this was much too difficult for the
children, so a different test where a catheter is inserted through
the arteries (which measures blood flow) was conducted instead. This
alternative test proved that the
drug failed to show any differences when the children tried
regular exercise tests, but when researchers used the alternative
measure of blood flow, Viagra did prove to be beneficial.

options," said Chad Knoderer, a pediatric clinical pharmacist at
Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, who has used Viagra for
children with the disorder before.

FDA requirements, the drug will be on the market an extra six months

to expire in 2012.

Discover the ideas, strategies and business growth systems that I've taught to my billionaire-level private coaching clients over the past 10+ years as well as to companies like Starbucks, The Coca-Cola Company, Nike & FedEx.
On June 2 + 3, 2012, Robin will deliver his second live event exclusively designed to help entrepreneurs and small business owners achieve explosive business growth while creating the personal lives of their dreams. This rare 2 day training event with one of the world's top business-building experts will take place in beautiful Toronto, Canada. Robin has distilled the ideas, strategies and business growth systems he's taught to his billionaire-level private coaching clients over the past 10+ years (who regularly pay well over $100,000 to learn what you'll learn at The Remarkable Entrepreneur SuperConference™ 2) as well as to companies like Starbucks, The Coca-Cola Company, Nike and FedEx, into one of the best business building conferences you'll ever experience. Last year's event brought together entrepreneurs from over 45 nations, and as you will see from the testimonials below, attendees were universally blown away by the hard-hitting tactics, lessons and insights that they and their teams walked away with to make quantum leaps in their business and the quality of their lives.
"It's taken me years of not only teaching entrepreneurs but learning how they think, create, work and build great companies to put together The Remarkable Entrepreneur SuperConference™ 2. Given how many entrepreneurs and small business owners are working harder than ever before yet making less profits and facing more challenges, I felt the need to offer this hard-hitting program right now. And given the predictions of an outright economic depression in the not too distant future, I wanted to share this program with entrepreneurs to bullet-proof them from the circumstances that are coming. The Remarkable Entrepreneur SuperConference™ 2 will show you how to build a far more profitable business - while you actually take more time off to enjoy your life. You deserve to experience this special event. I look forward to seeing you there."
Robin Sharma, Business Advisor to Celebrity Entrepreneurs, Fortune 500 Companies and the #1 Bestselling Author of The Leader Who Had No Title (Simon & Schuster)
"Excellent content and BRILLIANT tools to improve my daily performance and the performance of my business."
Joe Keenan, Ireland
"The value far outweighed the cost of the event.
Fantastic content. Fabulous delivery."
Shayna Nackoney, Canada
"Content was Exceptional ++++. I am going to triple my net worth."
Chirag Shah, USA
"I didn't believe Robin when he said at the beginning that he would deliver 10X the value (of what I paid). He absolutely did!"
Mark Hanf, USA
"I have been through 15 years of schooling and what I learned in these 3 days is the most valuable information by far."
Britney Reinkensmeyer, USA
Robin's private coaching clients pay well over $100,000 for the information, tools and systems you'll learn at The Remarkable Entrepreneur SuperConference™ 2. You will learn how the super-rich think, their productivity practices, and the unique things they do to build successful companies. You'll also learn exactly why they take so much time for vacation and their secrets to get the stunning results that they do.
Ok. These are just a few of the things you'll learn at The SuperConference. Last year's attendees are achieving quantum results - and so can you. You can't afford to miss this event.
"By any standard I am deeply delighted with Robin's coaching. He has changed my life and given me the tools to build a billion-dollar business."
Tim Ciasulli, Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Winner
While this event is designed for entrepreneurs and small business owners ready to make some real breakthroughs in the way they think, work and live, The Remarkable Entrepreneur SuperConference™ 2 is also for people + teams at companies who want to develop a more entrepreneurial mindset so they work faster and smarter in these wildly competitive times.
"I retained Robin Sharma based on his reputation as one of the top 2 or 3 business coaches in the world. He has wowed me with the exceptional business and personal results he has helped me achieve in just a few months. My life has transformed thanks to his coaching."
Iman Mutlaq, One of the Top .ooo1% Investment Bankers in the World
The SuperConference is sure to sell out. You get a seat for an awesome price. You'll get fantastically inspired, meet other peak entrepreneurs, have a brilliant two days with Robin and walk away with tools that will not only grow your profits but help you live the life of your dreams.

CRESSON - Friday night's Mirror Classic basketball games might have been the last of the all-star contests to be played at Mount Aloysius College's Health and Physical Fitness Center.
Just not the last one at the Mount.
If things go according to schedule, Mount Aloysius' new, nearly $25 million facility will be ready by next year.
"That's the goal. It's an absolute possibility and a goal," Mount senior vice-president for administration Suzanne Campbell said. "We're hoping on Jan. 1, 2014 to be in that new facility."
The Athletic Wellness and Convocation Center will be able to seat upwards of 2,200 but can be configured to seat less depending on attendance expectations for each event. It promises better lighting, locker rooms and classrooms among its amenities.
"It's beautiful," Campbell said. "It will have a much more modern take on the inside. The outside is designed much more to keep with the tradition of the school."
The college is hoping the new complex will give more visibility to the school. The hope is that it also will attract other events.
"It will get people up to the Mount," Campbell said. "To see these families' faces next year will be something."
Familiar faces
The Classic allowed Bellwood-Antis' Noah Davis to reconnect with some old AAU teammates - Kyle Kanaskie, Dennis Fisher and Cole Renninger of the Central PA team.
"We traveled all the way to Orlando in a van," Davis said with a smile. "It was awful."
Davis was clowning and joking with several members of the Central PA team since the early moments of the game.
"I know 90 percent of these guys," Davis said. "Basketball's a good sport in that you can make some good friends with it, too."
Engineering a future
Those who didn't live in the Easton-Allentown area probably didn't even know much about Lehigh men's basketball until C.J. McCollom and company upset Duke in the NCAA Tournament last year.
You can count Cole Renninger among them.
"I just knew they were in the Patriot League. I didn't know a whole lot about them," Renninger said.
Renninger, Central Mountain's record-setting combo guard, will find out a lot more in the coming years. He's committed to the Mountain Hawks.
Renninger will go the college best known for its engineering program as a preferred walk-on, but he thinks the chances of getting a scholarship look good.
"They're graduating five guards," Renninger said.
Renninger had plenty of options from even bigger schools. Syracuse, Penn State, Duquesne and Creighton also were talking to him about coming in as a walk-on.
"Lehigh had the best education," Renninger said, "and the best opportunity to play."
Watch your step
Cambria Heights' Isaac Vescovi almost took himself out of the game before it started.
Early in the first practice on Monday at the Summit Tennis and Athletic Club, Vescovi went down with a big gash in his left leg.
"I made a 3-pointer from the corner. I turned around and started running," Vescovi recounted, "and ran right into the bleachers."
Vescovi needed six stitches and missed Wednesday's practice.
"It's still a little bit sore," said Vescovi, who'll play his college ball at UPJ. "That's all right, though. It's my last high school game. I don't care."
A good sport
Forest Hills' Casey Gallaher played in the girls game despite an injured knee. Apparently she didn't have time for rehab.
What else is new?
"I really don't have any free time. My free time is dedicated to sports," Gallaher said with a laugh.
Gallaher plays soccer in the fall, basketball in the winter and is in track and field in the spring.
Gallaher showed few ill effects from the injured, coming out and hitting two quick 3-pointers.
Although she was voted to the Class AAA all-state team earlier this week and scored 1,500 points for the Lady Rangers, this probably was her final organized foray onto the hardwood. She's decided to play soccer at St. Francis University.
"I felt the past two years it's been my favorite sport, and I wanted to do something I loved in college, so I picked soccer," Gallaher said. "I used to think whatever season I was in was my favorite sport, but by my junior year soccer became my favorite sport."
Best foot forward
Ligonier's Maddy Grimm actually has been one of those rare four-sport letterwinners her last two years of high school.
Grimm was a soccer/basketball/softball star until Ligonier football coach Roger Beitel asked her to come over and try a few field goals at the end of conditioning in August of 2011.
"I was like, 'Yeah, you're funny,' and he said, 'No, I'm serious,''' Grimm said. "I ran over. I didn't have cleats or anything. I didn't know what I was doing. I just tried to remember what I saw on TV."
With the whole team lined up watching, Grimm put one kick through the uprights, then another, then another. She's gone on to be almost automatic as a place-kicker for the Rams.
Luckily for Grimm, she's always been a football fan.
"I love high school football," Grimm said. "It's one of the few sports I can sit and watch."
Grimm said being on the football team gave her a unique perspective on sports.
"It was a lot different than I expected. As a girl, it's hard to understand the competitive edge that high school boys have," Grimm said. "Girls are like, 'OK, ladies. Keep your head in the game. Guys are just screaming and yelling. It was a really cool experience. I'm glad I could be a part of it."
Big ratings
The games will be televised on tape delay by Altoona Public Access (Channel 14) beginning at 9 p.m. on Friday, April 19. It will air again on Saturday, April 19 at 9 p.m.
Birthday girl
Central PA coach Carol Cecere was celebrating her birthday.
"It would have been a nice present if we would have won," Cecere said.

Further to earlier post: In Search of Oliver Alfred Rayson. John from NSW's Blue Mountains has kindly reported back on his findings with regard to Mr. Rayson. There's more pieces to the puzzle, but still some gaps. However, now we are a bit more informed about both the Avondale Rayson and the Sydney one -- it's just still not proven that they were either one and the same, or related. Many thanks, John, for taking the time to look into this!
Dear Lisa,
Well, as promised, I went to the NSW State Records Office last Monday and checked out the Deceased Estate file for Oliver Alfred RAYSON and also did some further miscellaneous research on him. Your man has caught my imagination and being responsible for such a large number of horses involved in the omnibus business, is not altogether unrelated to an area of research I am interested in at the moment – the history of animal welfare.
Anyway, to the Deceased Estate file first! While this did not provide any confirmation of his New Zealand origin, it did give his full name as Oliver Alfred RAYSON and his wife's name as Catherine Margaret RAYSON and provided some interesting detail about his estate.
His estate was valued at £485 and consisted of: £26-5-0 worth of shares in the Sydney Tramway & Omnibus Company Ltd; £100 deposited in the Savings Bank of NSW; £7-4-4 of interest on these savings; a policy with the Colonial Mutual Life Insurance Company Ltd worth (with bonuses) £349-7-0; one milch cow valued at £2 (probably the one that later went wandering!). On the debit side he owed a debt of £2-7-4 to the Colonial Finance Mortgage Investment & Guarantee Corporation Ltd.
Though not mentioned as part of his estate in the above file, I later found an auction advertisement placed in the Sydney Morning Herald, 7 December 1896, on the instructions of Mrs. Rayson that included considerable furniture, glass, china and electroplate, a pianoforte, carpets, engravings and watercolours and other household items.
A further advertisement I located in the Sydney Morning Herald, 22 August 1889, that sheds some light on the affluence of Rayson at this time is one placed by Mrs. Rayson: "General servant required, good wages, Mrs. Rayson 1, Lancaster Villas, Ocean St. Woollahra."
Now a look at some further odds and ends I discovered from poking around a bit more:
It appears that Rayson may have gone from New Zealand to Melbourne before moving on to Sydney. In the index to Victorian BDM I got one match for a marriage between 'Oliver Rayson' and 'Catherine'. You have to pay on-line to access the details so I will wait until I next visit my local library (where I used to work) where they have it all on CD-ROM. However, I am pretty certain this is our man as I also came across a notice in the Sydney Morning Herald, 9 August 1895, for the death of Catherine Rayson's sister at her home in Richmond, Melbourne. So, it would seem that Mrs. Rayson came from Melbourne. (No marriage for Oliver and Catherine came up in the NSW Index.)
It appears, also, that Catherine was not Oliver's first wife! I had a quick look at the NZ BDM Index and found a baby girl, Eliza Mary, born to Oliver Alfred and Sarah Agusta (sic) RAYSON in 1875. (Eliza died ten days later.) Couldn't find their marriage so went to the International Genealogical Index (IGI) and up came a marriage between Oliver Alfred RAYSON and Sarah JONES at St. Paul, Deptford, Kent, England, on 27 November 1858. If this is our fellow I wonder what happened to Sarah between 1875 and the Melbourne marriage to Catherine (for which I don't yet have a date)?
While I was at the State Records Office I also checked the Sands Sydney Directory for the earliest date of Rayson's appearance in Sydney. The first entry for him is in the 1884 edition, suggesting that he began his job as Manager of the Omnibus company ca.1883-84.
Finally, the NSW Index to BDM shows that Catherine Margaret and Oliver Alfred RAYSON had five children in NSW – Sidney (1884); Ruby (1886); Katherine M. (1888); Alfred H. (1890); and Harold G. (1894).
The NSW Index (Deaths) records Oliver Alfred RAYSON's parents as Oliver and Louisa.
So, for the moment, I'm afraid that's it! I hope it's of interest and you can make something of it all. I will certainly pass on anything further I might come across. We don't know for absolute sure, of course, that the Kiwi Rayson and the Aussie Rayson are one and the same and I think we might have to get a copy of Rayson's death certificate to prove this categorically.
With very best wishes,

MARTINSBURG - Carrie Shade says she's unlucky. She rarely wins anything.
Recently, however, she scored a big win - and luck had nothing to do with it. It was all about working hard for something she believes in.
The Hedgesville High School junior was called to the stage at the New York Times Center during the fifth annual Shorty Awards to accept an award for maintaining Twitter's best account dedicated to activism. Carrie's feed, @AgainstSuicide, is designed to bring awareness to the issue of suicide and provide inspiration for those contemplating ending their lives.

Hedgesville High School junior Carrie Shade was given the Shorty Award for Activism for her Twitter account, @AgainstSuicide.
Carrie was honored with the award during a ceremony earlier this month in New York City.
"I didn't even have a speech ready," Carrie said of her surprise when hearing her name called. "My mind was just kind of like, 'Oh, snap, that's me.'"
Carrie says she doesn't even remember what she said in her acceptance speech, but her father, Dave, who watched at home via a webcast, did.
"She said, 'First of all, thank you all for voting for me,'" he said. "And then she said, 'It just goes to show, it doesn't matter how old you are or where you're from, you can do anything you set your mind to.'"
Carrie started the Twitter account, which now has more than 145,000 followers, in May 2011 after learning of the suicide of a friend with whom she had lost touch. Since, her mission to keep others from feeling the same hurt has touched many lives.
For her efforts, the 16-year-old was nominated for the Shorty Awards - an annual celebration of the best content creators on Twitter and other social media sites. When she was named a finalist in her category, she was invited to the award show in New York City.
That posed a problem for her, however, as room and board were not included. Her followers, however, helped raise the money to make the trip a reality.
"There were some really big donors, I don't know where they came from, but that really helped me," Carrie said. "Four people got it up (from $600) to like $1,700."
She and her older sister, Lindsay, were able to travel to New York for the weekend thanks to $2,000 raised for the trip through a fundraising website called GoFundMe. Train transportation and hotel lodging were expensive, Shade said, but she was able to save money by eating fast food while in the city.
Her father, Dave, said she had about $200 left when she got back home.
"She kept track of everything that she spent," he said. "She's the little tightwad of the family - she can stretch a dollar."
Carrie said she plans to donate the leftover funds to a suicide-related charity.
She also said that the fact that she was recognized for her work to help people through challenging times in their lives has only solidified her desire to continue her efforts.
"I feel like I might try to pursue something with it after high school, something related to it," she said.
The award, she said, lends credibility to the work she's done over the past two years as she looks toward her future.
"I've already put (the award) on my National Honor Society application," she said.
Among other Shorty Award winners at the event were Justin Bieber (Best Celebrity in Social Media), the Pittsburgh Steelers (Best Sports Team in Social Media), NASA (Best Government in Social Media) and the Mars Curiosity Rover (Foursquare Mayor of the Year). Special awards were given to George Takei (Distinguished Achievement in Internet Culture) and Jimmy Kimmel (Lifetime Achievement Award).
While many of the celebrity winners were not in attendance at the event, instead accepting their award by video, Carrie's face and a link to her Twitter feed are now listed on the Shorty Awards website among them all.
"I think it's pretty awesome," she said. "There's a lot of people on social media, and (to be chosen) out of those millions of people, that's pretty cool."

Could you please list me all vaccinations which has to be taken for babies.
18th September 2012 02:49 PM #2
Here it is recommended that children receive the following vaccines by 15 months:
HepB: protects against hepatitis B
DTaP: a combined vaccine that protects against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough)
Hib: protects against Haemophilus influenzae type b
PCV: protects against pneumococcal disease
Polio: protects against polio, the vaccine is also known as IPV
RV: protects against infections caused by rotavirus
Influenza: protects against influenza (flu)
MMR: protects against measles, mumps, and rubella (German measles)
Varicella: protects against varicella, also known as chickenpox
HepA: protects against hepatitis A
Often children receive a main dose, followed by several boosters. This is necessary because of their still-developing immune system. Remember, vaccines are "recommended" not required. =)

Thank you

Hello ibrualfi,
The vaccination recommendations for children actually vary according to country. Some recommend more than others.
I would encourage you to take some time to really look around our vaccination forum area and learn all you can about the pros and cons of vaccination.
I would also encourage you to pick up a book or two about childhood vaccinations and read more about the effectiveness of vaccinations, side effects, how to naturally boost your child's immune system if you choose not to vaccinate, and what you can do to decrease the chances of side effects if you choose to vaccinate.
Dr. Lauren Feder, M.D. is the author of The Parents Concise Guide to Childhood Vaccinations where she offers practical medical and natural ways to protect your child.
If youre just not sure what to do, Dr. Feder offers a balanced and easy-to-understand discussion of the issues, explaining the truth about the effectiveness of vaccinations, side effects, and much more.
After I read and talked to many people about vaccines, my husband and I decided not to vaccinate our children unless there was a specific vaccine that we felt was really important and the benefits of the vaccine outweighed risks. But in general, we realized that a lot of the diseases that the vaccines were meant to prevent were no longer prevalent in our country and the risk of our children contracting some of the diseases was very, very low. In those situations, we felt that the risks that come with those vaccines outweighed the possible benefits, which would have been either very little benefit or no benefit at all. Sadly way too many children have had serious reactions to vaccines, and we're also finding that vaccines are compromising the immune system setting children up or being unhealthy later in life.
Please feel free to post back if you have any questions at all about which vaccines are best or which vaccines can be avoided. We're here to help you make the best choices for you and your family.
Warm Regards,

Hi Kate,
What will happen if I miss one of those vaccines needed? Will it cause sickness or abnormalities?
5th December 2012 06:19 AM #6
Hello rballermo1008,
Is there a specific vaccination that you have missed or are concerned about missing? I chose not to vaccinate my children except for only very specific situations where we chose to give one specific vaccination, but I have 3 children who have never had a vaccination.
Warm Regards,

Hi Kate,
I missed the last shot for Rotavirus. It is too pricy.
7th December 2012 11:09 AM #8
Here is some excellent information on Rotavirus and the Rotavirus Vaccine.
Please read through it and post back with what you learn. I will try to give you further assistance/suggestions if you need them.

Lonegan Aide Rick Shaftan Regrets Racy Interview
UPDATED | An aide to Republican senate candidate Steve Lonegan said he regretted a racy, expletive-laden interview he gave to political blog Talking Points Memo Friday.
"I shouldn't be talking anymore," Rick Shaftan, a chief aide to Mr. Lonegan, said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal Friday evening.
"I shouldn't mouth off like that. It's not representative of Lonegan, it's representative of Rick Shaftan," he said about his remarks.
Mr. Lonegan, the former mayor of Bogota, N.J. and a conservative, is running against Democrat Cory Booker in a race for New Jersey's open U.S. Senate seat Wednesday. The battle has become especially heated in recent days.
In the article posted Friday, Mr. Shaftan referenced tweets exchanged between Mr. Booker and an Oregon exotic dancer, Lynsie Lee. Mr. Shaftan alleged that Mr. Booker could be gay because his tweets supposedly didn't reflect what a straight man would say to a stripper.
"It's just like like there was no sexual interest at all. I don't know," Mr. Shaftan said.
Mr. Shaftan didn't say whether he realized if the interview was on or off the record, but said it was "not the right thing to say."
"If it hurts Steve, I regret it," he said. "It's representative of my crude self, not Steve. It's how I talk, good or bad."
On Friday evening, Mr. Lonegan campaign released a statement saying Mr. Shaftan had been fired.
"Mr. Shaftan's comments are not reflective of my views or that of my campaign," the candidate said. "His comments are distasteful and offensive, and his contract as a vendor for my campaign will be terminated immediately."
Corrections & Amplifications: An earlier version of this story said that Mr. Lonegan was making an implication about Mr. Booker's sexual orientation. It has been revised to say that Mr. Shaftan was making the implication.

Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
Rich Harden was all the news yesterday even though there was nothing new going on. Harden was newsworthy because he's starting the spring camp with long toss rather than work off the mound like the other pitchers. He's been on an off-season strengthening program for an achy-breaky shoulder that everyone in Cubs camp is still struggling to label. It's kind of like having a family member with a psychiatric diagnosis in the 1950's. Nobody wants to label the poor fella because of the stigma and gossip. Sun-Times beat reporter Gordon Wittenmyer, in his blog, was irked that once again there was misinformation delivered this off-season regarding what the diagnosis of Harden's shoulder issues are.
Can anybody tell me what the advantage is in omitting those details and being vague about these things? It's not like the Cubs have to protect the information for the purposes of shopping Harden or for any on-the-field competitive reasons (scouts have eyes).
I've covered three other teams in my career, and the ones that were most up front about these kinds of things had the fewest headaches with the way the information got out. And the fans stayed well informed, without the yo-yo effect.
Bruce Miles, The Daily Herald's Cubs beat writer also chimed in via his blog:
Comment: This issue regarding his shoulder is beginning to sound too much like Prior all over again.. Hopefully not, though.
Bruce Miles: That was my first reaction, having lived through the Prior/prior nightmares. This is a little more nuanced. Kerry Wood made no bones about having a tear in his shoulder and telling us. A Cubs guy said Rich likes to handle it his own way. I'll give him that, respecting his privacy. I've always felt that if a team and/or player just comes out and says what the deal is, we deal with it and move on instead of operating under all this mystery. It's fair to say he's got some sort of tear in there.
As I said, the proof will be in how he throws the ball and how long he lasts.
Harden clearly doesn't use medical terminology but says he'll be fine. He can do what he wants, because it's his shoulder and there are laws that protect patients to their privacy although those rules get bent for celebrities and athletes via the press/paparazzi and the microscopes they put them under.
Carrie Muskat at mlb.com also interviewed Harden (here) generating this info:
He knows the word "tear" makes people skittish. There may be a tear, but it's nothing to fret about. Surgery was not something Harden considered.
To review, Harden had an MRI-Arthrogram in Oct 08, after his loss in game 3 of the NLDS, which is the best diagnostic exam short of an arthroscopic procedure. The post test information released to the press was that Harden had "subtle laxity" but no rotator cuff or labrum damage. The Cubs subsequently picked up Harden's $7 Million option. Then during the January 09 Cubs Convention, GM Jim Hendry in discussing Harden said the word "tear" in describing Harden's problem. Thus providing Wittenmyer and Miles eye-rolling material as to what is going on.
Having a non-full thickness rotator cuff tear (ala Kerry Wood) can be managed non-surgically and that's what they are doing... including a spring training that will cast echos from the ghosts of springs past:
compare and contrast:
Harden:The right-hander did throw long toss and was seen smiling a lot on the first day of workouts.
Wood: "I'm letting it go and throwing all my pitches," Wood said. "It's nice to go on the mound and actually work on stuff instead of worrying if it's going to hurt. It's nice to get up and go."
He'd like to avoid the disabled list. Wood began last season still rehabbing from arthroscopic shoulder surgery, which he had in August 2005. He was able to pitch in four games from May 18 to June 6, but they weren't good outings and his velocity was off.
When the tear was revealed, Wood opted to skip another operation and rehab. That tear may never completely heal.
"Probably not all the way, but it's definitely strong enough to do it's job," he said. (2-14-07)
Prior: "I had some issues," Prior said. "I had some significant things I had to correct. He saw some things [in his shoulder] that weren't as good as he'd like to see in a 26-year-old."
Prior has "looseness" in his shoulder, which is genetic, and which helps his delivery but also means he has to do a lot of shoulder strengthening exercises. His problems began when he collided with Atlanta's Marcus Giles in 2003. (2-16-07)
Wood: Chicago Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood did his long toss drills on Friday, and may be ahead of schedule..."It's pretty amazing," Wood said Friday. "It feels pretty good today, and today's better than yesterday. I expect the same tomorrow." (3-10-06)
Prior: Chicago Cubs pitcher Mark Prior is taking a different approach in an attempt to get through Spring Training injury-free.
"We're doing a lot more endurance," Prior said Tuesday. "I've been on throwing programs before but this is a little bit more structured and we're trying to build up more arm strength, doing extended amounts of sets, if that makes sense. I'm sitting out there throwing 20, 25 at a certain distance, then taking a little break, then going back a little farther.
"It's a lot more structured," he said. "I think I'm responding to it well. We talked about it last year to take it slower, a little more methodical. I don't enjoy not being on the mound right now. But whatever you're dealt with, you deal with it." (2-21-06)
Finally, I've found the link that defines the purpose of the now infamous "towel drill". It's a rehab bonanza article by Carrie Muskat discussing the simultaneous February 22, 2006 rehab status of Wood, Prior, Wade Miller and Angel Guzman, a virtual superfecta!
Mark Prior also did his long-toss drills early as well as some towel drills off the mound. The towel drills are designed to get the pitchers back on the mound, acclimated to the slope and getting their balance.
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
Trans: the above was written using all but about 5 of your mad-lib spring training guidelines.
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
LOL. Very, very, sadly true.
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
Given that Jimbo had to trade off or let go guys of like DeRosa and Woody to fit in a tight payroll limit, I doubt he would have picked up Harden's option if he did not feel like he could make atleast 2/3rds of his starts, which is 22 for a top of the rotation type guy that you would expect 34 starts from. With this weak division all we need Harden for is October anyway, we should just try the first 6-man rotation in MLB history with Z-Harden-Lilly-Dempster-Marshall-Heilman.
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
Sorry, but Mets tried the six-man in the early 1990s. I think I had like 5 of the pitchers on my fantasy team.
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
funny as the Mets are the team that created the 5 man rotation in the 60's.
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
As a giant intergallactic robot conqueror once said: IGNORE ME!
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
I'm tired of the Prior/Wood saga...they are gone....it's sickening to have to deal with this again with Harden....i don't care! As long as we stay healthy the division should be easy....therefore as long as he's ready to pitch the second half of the year...i'm fine with it! We knew what we got when we picked him up...so let's just deal with it.
Why there isn't more worry with Zambrano is what bothers me...nobody thinks his eye infection is a problem, there aren't any details on what type of infection, is it corneal ulcer or conjunctivitis? Then the whole issue of Lasix, what doctor is going to operate on a guy with an infection.
I think this depth (Marshall, Heilman, Guadin, Shark) that Hendry has picked up may be of considerable importance in the upcoming months...4 man rotation for most of the first month is great (limited Harden). Nice to hear this peavy nonsense go away...don't want to hear about it again...unless we are actually getting him and back ups for catastrophic injurys are still on the team.
Looks like the back up third basemen is going to be a reed johnson like acquisition which is great, however it may be the end of Hoffpower.
Go Cubs!
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
I think that as long as baseball requires pitchers, we'll be dealing with spring training stories of pitchers with mysterious injuries. What would be a nice and imaginable change, as the Good Doctor points out, is to have an organizational philosophy of greater transparency...
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
Harden is throwing off the mound Monday according to GW.
It's a long season and once again we'll all have to wait and see.
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
Rich Harden threw off a mound on Sunday with pitching coach Larry Rothschild and trainer Mark O'Neal monitoring the session. "Larry was really pleased," Piniella said
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
ah the towel drill...
it helps you get your mechanics straight by not putting a familiar weight/balance load on your hand. it's natural to grip and rip, but when you take the grip out of the equation someone can concentrate on "other" pitching mechanics by taking the familiar feel out of pitching while providing enough of a balance/load/resistance on the end of the arm so the shoulder doesn't feel like it's going to fly off.
...but it's more fun to just make 10,000 stupid jokes about towels, doughnuts, and infield rakes.
i wonder what some would think of the rubberbands-on-a-fence shoulder rehab tool...it looks just about as stupid as the towels.

lou appreciating Marmol in the set-up role, Stanton certainly in play for a bullpen spot.
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
On the bright side, when Harden comes back from the DL, it will be like making a trade for an all-star caliber player.

Next season with Harden
What do you guys think the chances are that we'll bring Harden back beyond 2009? Assuming he makes his 20-25 starts and does OK, what would he command in the market? $15-20 million a year?
I just think we have about a 2-3 year window left with our current core group of players (Lee, Ramirez, Zambrano, Soriano) before we need to move to the next phase, and I don't really see where we are going long-term. We have a LOT of backloaded contracts due over the next few years, so what then?
Re: Next season with Harden
I believe Harden will be the only Cubs starter coming off of the books after 2009. I don't know what other pitchers will be free agents around the majors, but I would think another offseason like this one is on it's way next year--meaning that if the American economy rebounds later, long-term contracts signed in the 2009-2010 offseason will look favorable to clubs 2012-ish. Harden isn't the sort of guy you sign when it's a buyers market. He's the sort of guy you gamble on when it's a seller's market because you can't afford the other guys who don't have tears in their rotator cuffs. That's how I've come to think of him at least.
Harden seems like a bad gamble going forth. Actually, right now picking up his option for 2009 seems like it was probably a bad gamble, but I'm not sure what other way I would've used that money (well, if I were a GM).
Re: Next season with Harden
IF Harden is healthy by the end of the year and his agent is worth anything, he'll sell himself to the highest bidder. Not like he can really count on a bunch of mult-year deals for the rest of his career. He's still young enough that people will bank somewhat on his potential as well as past performance.
Re: Next season with Harden
He's probably going to find some good offers if he is healthy, too. Pretty thin market on quality FA's:
Beckett with a club option, Webb with a club option, Cliff Lee with a club option, Hudson with a mutual option, John Lackey, Brett Myers, and Justin Duchscerer. Then you get to the Bedard's and Brad Penny's of the world.
Going to be thin on front line guys next year.
Re: Next season with Harden
I thought Lee just signed an extension?
Re: Next season with Harden
He signed a 3-year extension in 2006, with a club option for 2010.
I am pretty sure that the Indians will be willing to pay him $8M next year.
Re: Next season with Harden
Long term I am sure the Cubs' intention is to develop their core. They just haven't done a good job of that in recent times, maybe with Vitters and Co. coming up (if they aren't traded) that will change.
Next season the backloads really start to hit. So this year's economic conditions at Wrigley Field will dictate where they go with a lot of players. I am certain the recession is going to hit MLB, and I don't think anyone is going to be shielded from it. Then there's new ownership, which at this point is yet another variable.
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
The thing with Harden is this.... When he comes off the DL. It's like making a deadline trade!!!!
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
I do think Hendry deserves some credit for stockpiling starting pitchers; Z, Dempster, Lilly, Harden, Heilman, Gaudin, Marshall, and Samarddzjia.
That's 8 legit starting pitchers, and I can remember Cubs' teams in the not-too-distant past that were scraping their 5th (and sometimes 4th) starters togerther from a bunch of suspects and retreads in the last week of ST.
In those years, we would have been putting our hopes on a guy like Atkins to fill out the ML rotation, while this year he can take his time to shop for a nice apartment in Des Moines.
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
I'm not sure what "legit" indicates. If you mean "they've had a lot of success as starters", you gotta take Samardzjia and Heilmann off that list, possibly Gaudin. If you extend that to "someone you can count on to take a turn", Harden's out.
The Cubs are still short a starter, and I think they know it. They may very well end up including Atkins in the mix, if not counting on him.
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
In years past, if a Harden had gone down with an injury, we would have been left with the Derek Botelho's of the world as our only recourse.
Now, we do have pitchers like Gaudin who have been successful starters in the past. And while Heilman and Samardzjia may not have the same credentials, they have been successful ML pitchers who have shown the capacity to be successful starters.
Would another solid starter be an asset? Of course. Would Peavy be a great addition to this team? I would love to see him acquired.
But for once, even if we simply stand pat, we are in a position to succeed nicely with what we have on hand.
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
i still see samninja going to AAA to keep stretched out and starting...seems like it may go that way, anyway...especially with all the pen talk lately about how there's room for an extra guy.
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
Yeah I do too. I think they see Vizcaino as his replacement in the interim at least. I don't believe that right now Samardzjia is a big league starting pitcher, he only has 2 pitches, one of which he didn't control well in September.
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
Yeah I see what you mean, just not sure I feel comfortable with a Gaudin or Heilmann in the rotation unless it's short term. Boy that '85 season was a disaster, and at one point Dick Ruthven was the ace.
Re: Echos of Long Toss and Towel Drills Past
...and at one point Dick Ruthven was the 'ace'.
I remember him. Horrible. A 4-7 W-L record with a 4.53 ERA and a 1.603 WHIP, plus 37 BB against only 26 Ks. He might have been their No. 1 starter but he was never an 'ace' in any sense of the word.
Recent comments
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.

Thanks again Phil. We actually were in Mesa and drove around. Hopefully, I am back for some Fall League. If not I have all of spring training (like the smart people who move here!)

Favorite all-time car
by Happy to have owned three from Kalamazoo, Michigan | October 19, 2011
Owned '92, '93 and '95. With the exception of a very loose feel on the '92, this is the all-around best car I have owned. Comfort is extaordinary, best ride every. Mileage at 25-26 highway between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids at 65 mph. Plenty of towing power on the small v-8's for smaller RV's. All three felt better with addition of 'cargo coils' on the back...raised the unit about two inches, better feel and response. Plenty of power with the 4.3,4.2, no need for the 5.7. Power seats are tops!!!

Simply the most bang for the buck. Reliable as the day is long. The once controversial styling is now coppied throughout the industry. This car is about real capability and reliability that is tough enough for police and taxi service. This car is easy to get in and out of and has a real trunk. I am always being asked by complete strangers to sell them my car.

Great car
by retirednak from Wasilla,Alaska | August 27, 2009
I'm on my 4th Caprice and looking to buy another low mileage Caprice to sit on. My Car is a '96 with 34K, LT1 350 with the 9C1 Police package. The car handles great for a full size car,goes like stink and get's 26 mpg. It's a very comfortable car to drive and does good in the snow and ice. As far as reliabilty goes, I've had the usual fuel pump problem,minor oil leak and rear window track problem. I've had the same problems with all my Caprices I've owned. I've been lucky and not had any gauge or digital speedo problems which are common on high mileage Caprices. Don't bother buying the Caprice with the smaller 4.3 liter V8. I've seen motor issues on higher mileage cars. The motors look the same and the only way to tell the difference is by the VIN plate. The 8th number should be a "P" for the LT1 and "W" for the 4.3 liter V8. You can't go wrong with the right Caprice,comfort,speed and good gas mileage if driven right.

This car leaves little to be desired when you give er, with its 5.7L V8, its like having the camaro without the camaro price tag, I have a sports suspension, and when my friends who own camaro's drive my car they cant tell the difference in perfomance from thiers to mine. Awsome car lasts a long time but like with any car if you abuse it and floor it constantly problems are sure to follow a mature driver, most certainly this car can be a car that will last you many years

It's only happened twice since Matt Palm has been Heidelberg's men's baseball coach. But the Student Princes will not be heading to the Ohio Athletic Conference Tournament.
HU split a pair of games with Capital, losing the first game 14-12 and winning the second one 6-6.
That wrapped its regular season at 20-20 and 8-10 in the OAC. They finished seventh in the league; only the top four make the conference tournament.
The Student Princes battled back from a 8-2 deficit in game one, taking a 12-10 lead going to the bottom of the seventh (the first game in OAC doubleheaders are seven innings long).
But the Crusaders got a run back, then Andy Grillo clubbed a three run homer to allow Capital to walk off with the win.
Grillo had a perfect game at the plate, going 4 for 4 with five runs batted in.
Ethan Holt started the game for Heidelberg, and battled through six innings, allowing 12 runs, 11 earned, on 12 hits and nine strikeouts. Teddy Lowe took the loss, retiring one batter in the seventh before Grillo's homer.
Eric Monroe had two hits and drove in five runs for Heidelberg, while Derek Hug and Steve Morse each drove in two runs.
In the second game, Jordan Martin paced Heidelberg's offense with two hits and four RBIs. TJ Harkness had three hits, scored twice and drove in a run for HU.
Steven Huber started the second game, allowing four runs, three earned in 3 1/3 innings. Bellevue graduate Adam Manner (5-2) took over and went 3 2/3 scoreless innings to pick up the win. Danny Kilger, who doubled as the kicker on this past fall's football team, closed the game by allowing one run in the final two innings. It was his first save.
Dragon baseball drops two
UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. - Tiffin University's baseball team lost a pair of tight games Saturday, falling at Saginaw Valley State 5-3 and 2-0.
The Dragons took a 2-0 lead in game one when Garrett Vernau and Nick Hueneburg had RBI hits, but the Cardinals rallied off Dragons' starter Joe Perretta, who gave up five runs, four earned in four innings. He walked two and struck out one.
In the second game, the Cardinals scored twice in the third off Tiffin Starter Eric Klepper for the game's only runs.
Klepper allowed just three hits.
Roger Christensen had two hits for Tiffin.
The Dragons fell to 19-29, 13-19 in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The Dragons play Saginaw Valley State today in the regular season finale.

"I've considered signing up to be an instructor, but not in a f--- acting way. Just because it is fun," she says in the new issue of Nylon magazine. "But I don't think my manager would like it."
The former Disney star, who's featured on the February cover of the magazine, also talks about her new movie, Gimme Shelter, in which she plays a pregnant teen runaway (check out the trailer below). It wasn't exactly a glamorous role.
Aaron Richter / NYLON
It's a role that will certainly have people talking, just as they did about her edgy 2012 movie Spring Breakers, which featured the actress in a threesome with Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson and James Franco.
"You hear what you want to hear," she says of the public's reaction to the controversial film. "If you're not into something, be open about it. If you don't like me, I don't care."

There is one thing Goose Creek baseball coach Chris Pond brought with him from Timberland his love of great, and different, concession stand food.
During Ponds last years at Timberland, the Wolves struggled with a young and inexperienced team. Sometimes the best part about covering those type of games was the concession stand and what Lowcountry delicacy Pond had on the menu.
Pond loves shrimp and grits and there would come a point during the game when the announcement came over the public address system, If you want to try our shrimp and grits, youd better hurry. Were almost out.
Theres only one thing that can turn my head away from the action on a baseball field and thats food.
Pond will throw in chicken bog and spaghetti and meatballs as well. What is on the concession stand menu is as much an attraction as watching the Wolves play then, and the Gators play now.
Given my love of food, I have often toyed with the idea of doing a little unofficial random contest as to which school in Berkeley County had the best concession stand food. I have covered games (football, baseball and basketball) at Berkeley, Timberland, Cross, Cane Bay, Stratford, Goose Creek, Hanahan and St. Johns Christian Academy.
SJCA specializes in the fried cheese sticks and egg rolls.
Cross has the best fried catfish Ive ever caught scent of, and I dont like fish all that much.
Chili dogs are a toss up between Cross and Berkeley though the Stags get the nod with the chili cheese fries.
Timberland throws out a mean fried catfish, but in recent years covering Timberland football the best food was always found beneath the tents at parking lot tailgate parties.
Jennifer Easler served up bacon wrapped jalapeno peppers then and those were by far, the best snack Ive ever eaten.
Besides, how can you go wrong with bacon?
The winner for the best concession stand food though, is wherever Chris Pond happenes to be coaching.
Hes a man who loves to eat. You can tell that in the food he cooks.
Monday night, April 21, was Senior Night at Goose Creek, the final homestand for the spring for Pond as he closed out his first spring as head of the Gators baseball program.
He announced that the concession stand menu fare would include shrimp and grits again.
If shrimp didnt make my joints lock up like a rusty gearbox, Id be there and first in line.
I like shrimp and grits, but they dont like me.
In the six years Ive been here covering sports Ive had my share of Southern delicacies. Shrimp and grits are just the latest in that growing list.
The first Southern concession stand delicacy had became acquainted with, and after almost 35 years of calling the South home, finally developed a taste for, boiled peanuts.
Moncks Corner town councilman David Dennis loves boiled peanuts and would always offer some for me to try.
I couldnt pull the trigger on the boiled peanuts until the 2013 football season.
Heres why.
In my head, the recipe would go something like this:
1. Take a handful of dry roasted peanuts. 2. Pop them in your mouth. 3. Suck on them for an hour or so. 4. Spit into your neighbors hand and enjoy.
I imagine if boiled peanuts ever found their way onto Goose Creeks concession stand menu, theyd be served with either grits or chicken bog.
And if I knew Coach Pond, hed find a way to make them taste great, too.

Three Buffalo women were accused last week of violently assaulting two other women at the Metro Rail University Station, Buffalo police reported Monday.
Jetuan J. McDuffie, 22, and Britney B. Hall, 23, both of Westminster Avenue; and Deanna D. Olbert, 23, of Herman Street, were all arrested at the Metro station, in the 3000 block of Main Street, about noon Thursday. McDuffie remained jailed Monday and her co-defendants were released on bail, authorities said.
All three women were charged with second-degree assault. They are accused of punching, kicking and hitting in the head and face of one of the victims, causing multiple injuries to the left side of her face and her left eye, police said, and punching, kicking and hitting the other victim in her head, face and body, causing injuries to her right arm, forehead and the right side of her face.

TOWN OF NIAGARA – A Town of Niagara man was injured and also faces drunken driving charges following a two-vehicle crash at Porter and Tuscarora roads just before 7 p.m. Saturday.
Cody Miller, 25, of Divide Road, was charged with aggravated unlicensed operation, driving while intoxicated, driving without a seat belt and passing a red light, Niagara County sheriff's deputies reported.
Miller was taken from the scene by Mercy Flight to Erie County Medical Center, where he was treated and released on Monday. The other vehicle, a 2009 Ford pickup, was driven by Gary N. Bugyi, 49, of Walmore Road, Wheatfield, He was treated and released from Mount St. Mary's Hospital in Lewiston, after suffering minor back injuries. Bugyi was not at fault in the crash, according to reports at the scene.
After the crash, deputies followed Miller to ECMC and said he appeared to have a strong odor of alcohol on his breath. A blood kit and urinalysis was ordered, based on implied consent, and was transported for analysis, deputies reported.
Further charges may be pending based on test results, according to deputies.

WELLSBORO - More than 17,000 electric customers across the Northern Tier lost power at 3:40 p.m. Tuesday until about 2 a.m. Wednesday, following an equipment failure at a Penelec substation in Towanda. It was the second power outage in a week.
"It was different devices that took the same system down. I hope they're flukes. Penelec is addressing the issue right now," said Craig Ecker, of Tri-County Electric Cooperative.
Customers shouldn't expect ongoing outages, although Ecker couldn't guarantee it wouldn't happen again.
"The transmission line is 115,000 volts and hardened, from a reliability standpoint," Ecker said.
Penelec's transmission line provides bulk power from Towanda to Smethport. Tri-County Electric Cooperative and Wellsboro Electric tie into the Penelec line to deliver power to additional customers, especially in rural areas.
Except for Mansfield and some nearby areas, everyone on the Penelec line lost power.
"Of our 18,500 customers, 13,000 were without power," Ecker added.
All 6,200 Wellsboro Electric customers lost power.
Tioga County had the highest reported outages, affecting nearly 9,000 residents. Bradford County had 3,500 residents without power. More than 2,000 residents were left in the dark in Potter and Sullivan counties.
Penelec was able to transmit power to Mansfield from Liberty by backfeeding, a strategy that provides energy from an alternative source.
"For example, if service transmits east to west, service is switched from west to east," Ecker said.
The cooperative was able to backfeed people living in the Morris area from Liberty.
"We also backfed people in Germania from our Leidy substation in northern Clinton County," Ecker said.
Many businesses in the blackout area had to shut down, including the Wellsboro McDonald's. The Wellsboro Diner stayed open, however, and served simple sandwiches.
"Commercial accounts and retail stores take an economic hit because of not being able to provide services. There's also the inconvenience factor to customers," Ecker said.
He added, "we're all in this boat together."
"In the heat of the moment there's always complaints, but I haven't seen any formal complaints," Ecker said.
Sun-Gazette correspondent Lonnie Frost contributed to this report.

Do you have what it takes to compete in one of the Lowcountry's toughest and longest-running endurance competitions? The Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series (CSTS) is kicking off its 24th year of challenging athletes to the area's premier swim, bike and run event at James Island County Park. Registration is open now and the first race starts May 18.
The Charleston Sprint Triathlon is a five-race series that spans May through August. Athletes are encouraged to sign up for one race, or compete in multiple or all of the five-race series. Winners will be awarded from each individual race as well as the entire series. The 2014 series will be held on May 18, June 15, July 6 and July 27, with the Championship Race set for Aug. 10.
More than 30,000 athletes have raced in this swim-bike-run series since it began in 1991. The Charleston Metro Sports Council has named the series as one of the "Top 10 Charleston Signature Sport Events."
Races begin at 7 a.m. with a 600-yard freshwater swim in the lake at James Island County Park, continue with a 12-mile bike ride through the park and out and back on Riverland Drive, and finish with a flat 5K run. Participants must be comfortable swimming 600 meters in open water and riding a bicycle on roads open to traffic.
CSTS offers participation and awards throughout a variety of divisions. CSTS is partnering with the Team Floyd Brace Phoenix Athletes and Limbs Without Limits to recognize mobility-impaired athletes who will participate in this year's series. Local high schools will participate in the high school team competition during each of the five races. A school may field a team of three to five athletes, ages 12-19, in one of three divisions: boys, girls and co-ed.
Awards will be presented to the top five men and the top three women finishers in the Open/Elite division. Awards will also be presented to the top three age group winners in five-year increments, as well as to the top male and female finishers over the age of 40 (Masters division). Participants may choose to compete in the Clydesdale (men more than 200 pounds), Athena (women more than 150 pounds) or Masters Clydesdales (men over age 40 and more than 200 pounds) divisions. Awards will be presented to the top three competitors in each of those divisions.
A discounted registration fee is offered for multiple race registrations. For more information or to register online for the Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series at James Island County Park, visit www.charlestoncountyparks.com/csts. This event is presented by Commonwealth/Brown and Brown, Premier Physical Therapy and hosted by the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission.

Apple won't be the big 2012 growth winner, despite iPhone 5, neither will Android
0. phoneArena 24 Aug 2012, 14:28 posted on
Digitimes has done some research and has put together some numbers for what the market share could look like by the end of the year. Surprisingly, despite the iPhone 5, Apple won't be the big winner of 2012, and, at least based on growth rate, neither will Android...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

What? did you even read the article properly??
read it before commenting like this.

WP went from 0.2% to 1%. On the news: OMG Windows Phone sales grow by 500%!!!
Apple went from 34% to 35.5%. On the news. Apple loosing momentum.
Android goes from 58% to 59%: On the news Android grow not as strong as M$.
AHHHH! People will choose Android as primary choise (for obvious reasons), iSheeps will get their share, other fools will get WP! End of the story for 2012.
12. NokiaDrew (Posts: 3; Member since: 24 Aug 2012)
I think you are talking out of your A$$ right now.
Android is a very cool but fragmented and highly unstable platform.
Blackberry is in freefall because the old men running the company could not foresee the future because they are blind without their bifocals.
Fanboys only buy Apple because they are weak willed mindless sheep who prefer to be lead than to think for themselves
Windows Phone is a VERY viable option as Windows 8/WP8 will bring functionality that no other platform currently provides!
13. sats.mine2k4 (banned) (Posts: 208; Member since: 10 Aug 2012)
"WP8 has functionality which no other platform has" like treating every available wp7.5/7 device available like a POS... If it has anything else please let us know...

ok nokia guy!
i was just going to thumb you up, But, i changed my mind when you quoted wp8! why dont you just SHUT THE f UP! YOU HAVENT SEEN WP8 AND SERTANTLY YOURE NOT AN ORACLE. good night
41. Penny (Posts: 1648; Member since: 04 Feb 2011)
Wait, weren't you the oracle that predicted mobile market share breakdown for the rest of 2012 in comment #8? Have you seen the rest of 2012? Are you in fact an oracle?
51. aaronkatrini (Posts: 241; Member since: 06 Jun 2012)
An advice from Dr. Sheldon:
Dear Penny,
don't comment on things you dont know.
First, yes indeed was a prediction but not a Statement like my fellow PA commenter , and second, Irony was being used in my prediction. Have a pleasent evening.
55. Penny (Posts: 1648; Member since: 04 Feb 2011)
Lol, oh aaron, where ever shall I begin?
First, care to clarify what exactly it is that you think I do not know?
Second, you ended your "prediction" with "End of the story for 2012." That's a statement if ever I've seen one.
Third, your fellow PA commenter has justification for his statement; no clairvoyance is necessary to speak on the functionality of Windows Phone 8 when there are so many demos, leaks, and qualified breakdowns of the SDK available for all to see on the internet. In contrast, some clairvoyance may indeed be necessary to predict the trending popularity of each mobile operating system by years' end.
Finally, enjoy watching your astrophysicist actors on The Big Bang Theory. I'll continue to follow the work of real astrophysicists.
58. aaronkatrini (Posts: 241; Member since: 06 Jun 2012)
Uhmmm... penny, where do i begin, oh i dont bother responding, you clearly wont agree with me. Lets wait for end of 2012 and see how it goes. Lets set a memo on the calendar and re-comment and see who was right. Are you with me? :)
59. Penny (Posts: 1648; Member since: 04 Feb 2011)
I don't doubt the order of popularity at years end. Android will still be number 1, iOS will still be number 2, and WP will be somewhere behind that. What I do disagree with is your reasoning for why people will make those choices (namely "other fools will get WP"). Also, notice that I was speaking to market trends by years' end, not overall market share. I do believe WP8 has a strong chance in that regard.
Keep in mind, my response was never about you being right or wrong -- it was about you calling somebody else out on making an unknowable prediction when the one you made necessarily requires more knowledge of future conditions. At least for the other oracle we have here, his statement is predicated on knowledge he can gather from sources at this very moment.
62. aaronkatrini (Posts: 241; Member since: 06 Jun 2012)
You're just confirming what i said on a provocative way. Uhmmm.. do I need to appologise to someone, i dont get it!
16. smallworld (Posts: 484; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
Android 4.1 has more functionalities than WP10. End of.
20. Commentator (Posts: 3692; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
What's WP10?
21. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
its windows phone.. in oh.. probably 2014/2015.. gaaawd didnt you know that? :)
24. Commentator (Posts: 3692; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Oooooh, I get it, it was like a joke or something! Ha! What wit...
Anyways, I'm sure whatever is launched in 2014/2015 will not be compatible with current WP hardware, as Microsoft seems to enjoy making a fresh start with their mobile iterations rather than make them upgrade-able, as of late. Also, I highly doubt that it will have less features than JB, but one can hope, I guess (although I don't know why one would wish ill on a mobile-OS, it seems kind of counter-competitive...)
53. smallworld (Posts: 484; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
You're dumb or you're an idiot ?
42. Penny (Posts: 1648; Member since: 04 Feb 2011)
Prove it.
I'm sorry, what was that? I can't hear you when you're mumbling like that.

Meanwhile, Google is working on Project Butter to make it as smooth as WP7.5!
17. lyndon420 (Posts: 4399; Member since: 11 Jul 2012)
What kind of new functionality are you referring to? What will microsoft bring to the table that could possibly make me leave Android?

Uhmmm...no. I like potatoes, but no.
54. Mobile-X-Pert (Posts: 565; Member since: 20 Dec 2010)
No lag, a well built OS, Xbox live with a posible Halo game, Nokia maps, Native code (Windows NT kernel) with tons of windows apps and games coming in the near future, beautiful live tiles, deep skype integration. What else do you want????????????????????
56. Penny (Posts: 1648; Member since: 04 Feb 2011)
Let's not forget Microsoft Office 365 integration, all inclusive instant messenger (built in), contact list that is inclusive of social media features (built in), audio search + local search + visual search (all built in), SmartGlass (think WP8 + W8 Tablet + PC + XBOX all communicating with one another, and then add the next gen Kinect to the mix), NAVTEQ based mapping system with best in class traffic and offline maps, Enterprise features such as BitLocker full device encryption, corporate development and deployment of internal apps, a full Enterprise Hub that your company can set up, bluetooth file transfer (nothing special), NFC (best in class due to improvements in protocol), DirectX (allows for best gaming experience of any mobile platform), Nokia software optimization of camera processing (again, best in class), and last but not least, we have not yet seen the full extent of how integrated Microsoft's platform is becoming.
Yeah, and that's what I can think of off the top of my head, before the full list of features have even been announced.
60. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
well if not you atlest 80% of android(tablet) users might transfer isince most like playing games with work and win8 is definetly the better choice at some price android guys can always say they can play temple run and they will say it for ever win8 tablet guys might even play games we play on PC like Crysis3 coming call of duty blackops2 coming soon wht more why stick with small games when we can do so much while we can also run full developer software suits on win8 tablets hmm lets see where android tabs stand now i think at the footsteps

there goes the fragmented word again... its not fragmented just unique ok...
22. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
talk about.. talking out of your arse. next time try sticking to facts, not long outdated fanboy bullet points and name calling.
43. Penny (Posts: 1648; Member since: 04 Feb 2011)
Thanks for telling that fanboy off. Now what do you plan to do about the 20 name calling Android fanboys to every 1 WP fanboy?
31. BuckeyeCadet86 (Posts: 77; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
Seriously how bad is the fragmentation on android, yeah they make cool little charts that show the different releases but what is the functional difference to the vast majority of customers? its negligible, the problem with windows phone is app selection... I can run temple run on any device running 2.1 or higher but I can't run it on a single windows phone device. I get that its just a game but is indicative of the problem with other utilities and apps.
37. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
ok Fragmentation start from Buying a SGS3 cool then check out low end android phone horrible crap lagg .. more issues then advantages
lets talk about WP in comparission
buy Flagship lumia900 good then buy lumia 600 works lagg free with application limitations only
38. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
and yes noobs always brag about Temple Run a guy who cant run out of a temple :\ man grow up or get updated their are more games to play then temple run
39. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
and last thing it takes some years to creat apps from new OS and wp7 had only a year to comeout and it reached 100k apps and more in one year i think android took 2 years to reach it be realistic and resonable its not istant job of creating apps each apps takes weeks or months
44. picka_vi_materina (Posts: 174; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
100k of crapps. That's easy to achieve.
47. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
I DONT THINK U HAVE A WP7 so if u dont you never tried any apps either so u are idiot who got big mouth but no brain
34. MeoCao (unregistered)
Can you elaborate what WP8 can do and others don't?
57. Penny (Posts: 1648; Member since: 04 Feb 2011)
Please refer to my comment #56. Not all of the features I listed are exclusive to Windows Phone 8, but those are areas where Windows Phone 8 exceeds the performance and/or capabilities of competing operating systems.
36. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
WP8 is option for those who think out of box and innovative design and interface
45. picka_vi_materina (Posts: 174; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
WP innovative? MeeGo was innovative, WP is just old school black and white, size 45 text on a black background. Very innovative.
48. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
ow lets start about android homie its all copy of apple IOS interface icon grides what is new in that same left/right slide only some extra features u can play with rest is identically copy so yes WP is new moblie OS and u can deny it all u want it is fact MS went with its own new ideas while android is following ios at every step

It will take 5 years for WP to come close to Blackberry so let alone Android an iOs.

Exactly. The article is about growth. Android wont ever see what they experienced in 2010. Apple is probably peaked, Android too.

Agreed, I'd be nice to have a 3rd option and someone else to come up with ideas.
So just incase Win8 phones become popular, what are their fanboys called? Bingheads? Nothing sounds quite as fluid as iSheep or Fandroids...

It's not really a stretch to guess that WP will have the highest gains in terms of percentage this year. What really matters in my opinion is how well or poorly the actual Windows 8 operating system will do when it comes out this year. If the full OS takes off, then I think the mobile platform is really going to take off as well.
I believe the outlook for the rest of the mobile industry in 2013 really hinges on Windows 8 right now, because it has the potential to be the major story of the year, or it could fall by the wayside and just become a forgotten subject after some months (although unlikely considering the changes Microsoft is going to be making across its entire product line).

Windows 8 will be Vista reincarnated. Windows 9 will be 7 reincarnated. You know how MS rolls, don't you? ;)

MS: DigiTimes(DT) publish something favour to us.
DT: What is our profit on it.
MS: Will give you 20 WP.
DT: Job done.
MS: Happily thinking people will buy WP,
Android/Apple users: We love our OS, go to hell MS..

Similarly, if you press and hold the "back" button in your browser you'll see a list of all the sites you visited and can pick one to revisit without having to tab through each of them.MS basic paradigm here is based around abstracting a web browser - which is probably the most universally familiar way of interacting with a computer for most people. Even granny can work a browser.
