It's an iconic American brand that has set its sights on growing internationally. Gap Inc. plans to create a responsive supply chain as part of its plan to take a more significant share of the trillion-dollar global apparel market, reports just-style.com, an apparel and textile publication.
At Gap's annual investor meeting on April 17, CEO Glenn Murphy outlined goals to expand overseas, especially in China; franchise Old Navy stores globally; and build a seamless "omni-channel" experience.
According to just-style.com, Murphy emphasized three key developments to enabling the new goals:
Of course, speed to market is where a responsive supply chain is critical. The publication quotes Murphy: "You've got to move in this business. We've been known to be a little tardy."
Gap leaders plan to use other strategies too, including vendor-managed inventory (VMI) and "fabric platforming," which means cutting down the number of fabrics used by choosing fewer fabrics that work for multiple designs, including shorts, pleated pants, non-pleated pants, and more.
The APICS Operations Management Body of Knowledge (OMBOK) Framework defines VMI as follows: "VMI partnerships occur when downstream supply chain customers choose to partner with their suppliers. Agreements are made as to where the inventory is stored (either at the supplier's site or the customer's site) and when the billing for inventory will take place (either upon shipment to the customer or upon use of the part).
"Unlocking" inventory also plays a major role in Gap's new plans. In the past, products went to a country and to the stores in that country, but if those items weren't sold, they were stuck. "Now inventory can go anywhere. Now inventory is untrapped," Murphy says. "It starts by being untrapped by country. Because when it leaves the vendor, it will go to the country where we can maximize our sales, our growth, and our [average unit retail]. Then the next step is outside of a country; you have to maximize that profitability."
Murphy admits the company has work to do. However, once the challenges are overcome, Gap will be a long way toward fulfilling its global strategy—a strategy that relies on a responsive supply chain.
Keys to global business success
Inventory management and supply chain strategy are at the heart of Gap's approach to grow globally.
These important business concepts also are at the heart of APICS, and nowhere is this more evident than in the APICS Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) and APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) credentials. APICS certification programs are recognized worldwide as the standard of supply chain management excellence by organizations, educators, and professionals worldwide. If you are like Gap and find yourself "a little tardy," APICS can give you the tools to improve your organization's global strategy. Consider earning your APICS certification.

As the Race For The Cure nears, many cancer survivors say the power of prayer helped them combat their disease.
Lehua King is one who knows that to be true. Sickness brought King closer to her faith and inspired a new church ministry at a Moanalua parish.
With every motion, there is a message King and her hula ministry hope to express with their church congregation at the Trinity Missionary Baptist Church.
"We're not performing. We're not entertaining. We're ministering his word through hula," said King.
It's been five years since she started the ministry. King says it was her calling after a long and painful battle with breast cancer more than a decade ago.
"I was scared. I was questioning, 'Why me?" said King. "What did I do to deserve such a thing?"
King was diagnosed in 2000 at the age of 39. After contemplating treatment, she eventually underwent chemotherapy, clinging to her sister for strength.
King said, "She had me lean over the tub. She kind of got the shampoo and then from behind of me started washing my hair. And from that point on, every strand of hair that my sister had washed fell in her hands, all my sister could do was hug me and tell me that she loved me."
King declared war against the potentially deadly disease, fighting to stay alive for her children and grandchildren.
"It was gave me the strength to do what was needed when they told me I have to go through chemo," said King. "I have to do a lumpectomy. I have to removed lymph nodes."
Now, fully recovered, King says she is closer to God. Each week, she leads hula ministry members with expressing from the inside out.
"It's not just the song, but what is ministered through the song, and that's healing," said Deloris Hairston.
King says as long as her higher being calls on her to share her hula within the church ministry, she'll continue to answer that call.

VanDyne raises $8 million
- published_in
- Today's News
The round was led by Northwater Capital's Intellectual Property Fund with participation by existing investors.
The money, VanDyne said, will help drive its growth initiatives and speed up the commercialization of its technology.
"Thanks to Northwater we are going to be able to take the SuperTurbo from a prototype to a product in the next two years,´ said Ed VanDyne, founder and CEO of the company.
"This round of funding will allow the company to put the SuperTurbo through the rigorous durability testing required by the automotive industry."
The company's technology integrates the functions of supercharging and turbocharging into a single device, by combining turbomachinery with a transmission. The SuperTurbo promises to deliver up to 6 percent efficiency gains in trucks. It also can make a half-size engine deliver the same torque as a normal engine today. Using a smaller engine with a SuperTurbo in a car will give it 36 percent better mileage, according to the company.
VanDyne recently said it is planning to move out of Fort Collins because it can get a better rate elsewhere on energy it wants to sell back to the city utility. To read more, go to "VanDyne leaving FoCo for 'greener' pastures."

Out with the old...
December 26, 2012 —
How we, as individuals, perceive the world around us is as varied as the snowflakes. Everyone has an opinion (humble or otherwise) and I am (clearly!) no exception. At this time of year, conversation invariably turns to the passage of time and often, how quickly the year has flown by. For me (and I suspect many of you) it's been a long and winding road. Some of you might recall that on New Years Eve last year, I found myself in the hospital, undergoing emergency surgery. After months of recovery and moving (twice!), I'm firmly ensconced in my new digs and reflecting on the last year—the good, the bad and (here's where it gets a bit dicey) the ugly.
Thankfully, I'm still here—but it has been a bumpy ride and I know that I'm not alone. One of the many wondrous aspects of life in the country is the camaraderie and fellowship that resounds throughout the region. Regardless of personal hardship, friends, neighbors and loved ones gather year 'round to lend a helping hand, and although it seems more prevalent during the holidays, here in the Catskills it never really ends. As I peruse my River Reporter photos snapped at events during 2012, I'm reminded of the rich, diverse culture that surrounds, and revel in the amazing scope of music, art, family events and (lest we forget, parades!) that mark the calendar. (To see my complete 2012 year-in-review photo album, "like" us at www.facebook.com/riverreporter.)
Speaking of photographs... and our theme, "out with the old," the new year offers up an opportunity to address an issue that many of you have brought to my attention (repeatedly!). I often ask for your opinion, and apparently that has opened a "Pandora's Box" that I did not see coming. While it's nice to know that our very discerning readers of The River Reporter are paying attention, I had no idea that so many of you were looking at the tiny snapshot of me in the upper left corner of my column. While attending a performance at the Forestburgh Playhouse (www.fbplayhouse.org) last summer, a complete stranger approached me and asked how old said photograph was? "Doesn't look a thing like you," she shouted. "Who are you trying to kid?" Slightly aghast (and mildly amused) I thanked her for her "input" and informed that I'd consider a change.

For Immediate Release
March 8, 2007
Math and Science innovations take center stage at Capitol Showcase
Illinois Mathematics and Science Partnerships Program brings teachers, scientists and others together to improve teaching and share research
Springfield, Ill. – The Illinois State Boards of Education (ISBE) and Higher Education (IBHE) are joining with mathematicians, engineers, teachers and scientists today at the State Capitol to showcase research partnerships and how they are improving teaching in classrooms around the state. The Capitol Showcase of the Illinois Mathematics and Science Partnerships (IMSP) brings participants together to share their research findings about how they learned and how it changed their teaching in classrooms.
"Our partnerships are beginning to realize their serious responsibilities for today's students and tomorrow learners, by facing the realities of teaching in a 21st century classroom dealing with new technologies that are emerging everyday," said Christopher Koch, Interim State Superintendent. "The IMSP program creates a bridge and opens doors between our K-12 teachers, colleges, universities and the private sector."
The IMSP program was created as part of the No Child Left Behind Act, and over the past four years the partnerships have provided outstanding opportunities for professional development in mathematical and scientific inquiry, problem solving and technological design. The partnerships have been created with local districts, colleges, universities and a wide diversity of Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics (STEM) leaders in Illinois. The focus on STEM education by scientists, mathematicians and engineers is rapidly becoming a focus for assuring that our students are well-prepared for future careers and as global citizens.
"One of the most important policy issues facing Illinois and the nation is the production of STEM leaders to remain competitive in the global environment," said Judy Erwin, IBHE Executive Director. "The Board of Higher Education NCLB partnerships provided extensive and intensive professional development to Illinois teachers last year, focused in the high-need STEM disciplines. These research-based professional development activities helped equip Illinois schools with highly qualified teachers, the key ingredient to student achievement."
The IMSP program will serve approximately 700 teachers in more than 68 counties. The budget in Fiscal Year 2007 for the IMSP program is approximately $6.3 million.
Twenty IMSP partnerships are continuing their work through this school year and presenting at the Capitol Showcase and are as follows:
- The Champaign Unit 4 Nanotechnology Teacher Enhancement Program (CU4NTEP) is a collaboration between Community Unit School District #4, the Center for Nanoscale Chemical-Electrical-Mechanical Manufacturing Systems (Nano-CEMMS) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Education for Employment System #330, Parkland College, and the Army's Construction Engineering Research Laboratory.
- The Chicago Public Schools Middle Grades Mathematics/Science Teacher Leadership Institute is providing in-depth professional development in middle grades mathematics and science for three groups of 30 teacher-leaders each year for three years. Mathematicians from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and scientists from Loyola University of Chicago (LUC) are included in the partnership.
- The Chicago Academy of Sciences, notably sharing the expertise from the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum and the UIC, will be working with elementary teachers from Chicago.
- The partnership between the Christian-Montgomery Regional Office of Education and the ROE #40 for Calhoun, Greene, Jersey, and Macoupin Counties includes STEM leaders from Blackburn College, and Hurst Rosche Engineering Company.
- Leaders from the University of Illinois in Champaign are working with teachers from Champaign, as well as teachers from Bradley-Bourbonnais, integrating astronomy and biology concepts directly in mathematics understandings and applications.
- DePaul University in Chicago plans an innovative Masters of Science degree program for public and private Chicago middle school teachers in tandem with their NASA Center resources.
- The LUC-Chicago Public Schools Physics Project creates a comprehensive, three-year program providing 30 CPS teachers with content background to receive an endorsement in physics as they are studying and applying the latest physics and educational research which will lead to Master's degree credentials.
- Des Plaines Community Consolidated School District #62 and the North Cook Intermediate Service Center is partnering with 3 school districts, National Louis University, Oakton Community College and the Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce.
- East Richland School District #1 in Olney has teamed with three other rural districts, including a local private school, Eastern Illinois University (EIU) and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to expand their existing partnership with the Embarrass River Management Association.
- EIU partners with elementary teachers, mentored by colleagues from their own middle or high schools throughout central Illinois with special technologies associated with environmental sciences.
- Staff members from the Mt. Vernon office of the Hamilton-Jefferson Regional Office of Education are working with teachers in neighboring counties with Southern Illinois University (SIU) in Carbondale and Northwestern University.
- The Lee-Ogle Regional and Rock Island Offices of Education have collaborated to replicate and extend their very successful IMSP programs in two separate programs with Northern Illinois University (NIU) and Western Illinois University (WIU).
- LUC, through its Center for Science and Math Education which includes the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Education and Departments of Biology, Natural Science and Physics, will work with middle school teachers from Chicago Public Schools.
- Teachers from Chicago, Roxana, Rochelle, Peoria, Havana, Des Plaines, Goreville, Rushville, Calumet City, Knoxville and Troy participate in a project organized through the Peoria County Regional Office of Education, with Caterpillar, Walgreens, SIU, NIU, Bradley University, WIU, focusing on Mathematics and Science concepts as they relate to the Transportation, Distribution and Logistics career clusters.
- Proviso Township coordinates a partnership with LUC's Departments of Chemistry and Physics and the UIC Departments of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science and Texas Instruments leading toward certification in mathematics and science for teachers in their six feeder districts.
- St. Clair and the Monroe-Randolph Regional Offices of Education have planned a partnership with Camp Wartburg, Lindenwood University and 60 teachers from 18 districts.
- The Madison County Regional Office of Education and SIU in Edwardsville plans work with Collinsville teachers who are leaders in the pre-service master teacher program, creating a program with partners from the Schools of Engineering and Education and Boeing Corporation and incorporates National Board Certification components.
- The University of Chicago and Yerkes Observatory will be working with the Will County Regional Office of Education and 24 of their teachers and a dozen other teachers from around the state in a 3-year international astronomy project.
- Staff from the Regional Office of Education in Ullin will coordinate the partnership with the Regional Offices of Franklin/Williamson Counties and Jackson/Perry Counties to serve 35 teachers with experts from SIU in Carbondale.

Rihanna Shares Topless Picture After Victoria's Secret Fashion Show; Hangs Out With 'Room Full Of Bad B*tches'
Rihanna spent some time in "1 big room, full o bad b*tches" Wednesday night at the Lexington Avenue Armory in New York City during the taping of the 2012 Victoria's Secret lingerie show. The singer, along with Justin Bieber, performed while scantily clad models such as Miranda Kerr, Adriana Lima, Karlie Kloss and Candice Swanepoel walked the runway in their tiny little outfits.
Only difference between RiRi & Biebs though? She got to hang out with the models backstage, and she posted plenty of pictures.
Wearing a sexy strapless black gown with a slit up one side to reveal her thigh-high stocking and garter and a pair of black lace gloves, the singer escorted model Doutzen Kroes down the runway while singing her latest hit, "Diamonds."
She also posed with the likes of Jasmine Tookes and Cara Delevingne, Izabel Goulart. Summed things up for an overexposed shot with Lily Aldridge though; writing, "b*tches pretty in pink."
After the show she showed off what was underneath her dress when she got back to her trailer, posting a topless photo of herself on the couch wearing thigh-highs held up by garters, a pair of ankle boots and nothing else. She lit up a cigarette (we assume it's a cigarette, but knowing Rihanna it's probably not a cigarette) and wrote, "And that's a wrizzap."
See tons more pictures from the 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show here, and watch it when it airs on TV, Tuesday, December 4th.

- Abstract
- In the present study, porous nickel foam samples with pore sizes of 20 μm and 150 μm and porosities of 60 % and 70 % were fabricated by the space-holding sintering method via powder metallurgy. Electron scanning microscopy (SEM) and Image-Pro Plus were used to characterise the morphological features of the porous nickel foam samples. The anisotropic mechanical properties of porous nickel foams were investigated by compressive testing loading in different directions, i.e. the major pore axis and minor pore axis. Results indicated that the nominal stress of the nickel foam samples increases with the decreasing of the porosity. Moreover, the foam sample exhibited significantly higher nominal stress for loading in the direction of the major pore axis than loading in direction of the minor pore axis. It is also noticeable that the nominal stress of the nickel foams increases with the decreasing of the pore size. It seems that the deformation behaviour of the foams with a pore size in the micron-order differs from those with a macro-porous structure.

Well, at 6 months we've been having some real concerns about Jax. He's been exclusively fed breast milk for the past 5 months. I work full-time, so he is fed bm by bottle from 7AM - 6PM and by breast from 6PM - 7AM.
About two months ago, he seemed to be reverse cycling...where he was refusing most bottles during the day (only drinking one, swatting all others away) and, apparently, waiting for me to get home at night. However, when I get home, despite seeming eager and desperate to feed off me the minute I walk in the door, after about 2 minutes on the boob, he pops off lays flat and stretches himself out and screams. Pissed. I switch sides, I burp him, and the result is always the same...screaming. This goes on all night. Once we put him to bed, he wakes every hour and we go through the same thing. In recent weeks, my husband was able to get him to eat two bottles per day (10AM and 2PM). So, that means he's having 8 oz. of milk during the day and two minutes of milk at breast several times per night before freaking out. Naturally, to make sure he was getting something, I began giving him a bottle of breastmilk at bedtime, which he accepts frantically as if he's starving. The problem is that I'm only pumping 2-3 bottles of milk per day. Alot of my stash in the freezer is gone because of weekend visits with grandma, etc. (She would like him to stay over one night and I can't allow that because I don't have enough milk stored to provide her with enough for an overnight stay.)
Recently, we've introduced two solids to him, both of which he's had very little interest: brown rice cereal and sweet potatoes (spits out the sweet potatoes)
Well, Friday we had his check-up and because he hadn't gained a pound in the past month or so, his doctor (whom we LOOOOVE, as she's been incredibly supportive of breastfeeding) suggests he just isn't getting the calories he needs and this is why he doesn't sleep. And I have to agree with her. I just don't think he is getting the calories based on the 12 oz. of breastmilk by bottle and the unknown amount at the breast with his constant popping on and off. She also thinks that he's popping off the breast because at 6 months, he's getting smart and finding that the bottle is easier to work (even with a slow flow BF nipple) than my breast nipple and he's getting mad because he's getting lazy. She thinks he isn't sleeping because he's hungry. So, she's suggested the following:
1) Feed him on breast when he wakes at 6:30AM
2) Introduce brown rice cereal (or some other solid) in the morning
3) Bottle of breastmilk at 10AM
4) Bottle of breastmilk at 2PM
5) Introduce another vegetable solid at dinnertime
6) Nurse him, if he'll allow me to, when I get home at 6PM. (I pump a little on the way home so that he doesn't have to work so hard to get my milk to come down.)
7) At bedtime, 8:30PM, I feed him a 4 oz. bottle of breastmilk and top it off by trying to feed him what he'll take on the breast.
8) If he's sleeping, wake him at 11:30PM and feed him a 3 oz. bottle of formula and top it off by feeding him on the breast. (While he's sleeping from 8:30 - 11:30PM, I pump.)
She thinks this should get him to sleep for at least a 6 hour stretch from 11:30PM - 5:30AM.
She says that if this works and he starts accepting the solids and eating more of them, then we can replace the 11:30PM formula bottle with breastmilk (if I can pump enough).
Does anyone have any thoughts on this plan or her assessment?

Where there is faith, miracles can occur
Kim Kardashian will probably get passed like the dutchie or spent like grocery money. I heard she likes that dark meat. Homegirl has a fat booty though!!(Did anyone see that Ray J video?) Of DJ Clue is alive. He produced stuff on Fabolous and Jay-Z latest albums.

ROFL, you said homegirl. I haven't heard that **** in ages.
dr.carpy, no one is trying to be funny. Can you be more open minded about this? I understand Boston will take time to gel, because chemistry is very imported. But you need to consider the following.
Ray Allen and Garnett aren't you underachieving players. They're some of the most productive players in the league, now playing with another extremely productive player at his position.
Allen and Garnett aren't the most selfish superstars either, so the vision and opportunity is wide open for Boston, its just a matter if they stay healthy or not. Garnett has a good history of staying healthy.
No one in the east is going to match up with the likes of Garnett. He's an all NBA defender, MVP, can play basically all positions. Garnett and Pierce would be been nasty alone, now Ray Allen? You can't double team all these guys at once, so one of them is going to be open or going one on one with someone, so it works out every possible way.
Carpy, Orlando are a half court team too, whats your point? They didn't do **** in the playoffs. Its not about being a half court team.
Defense and Turnovers are much more important Warriors took alot of risk on offense and payed for it if they weren't hot. Spurs comit the least ammount of errors and play the most consistant D, therefor they're rewarded.
Our defense is a little bit of improved, but still poor with a front court of Randolph and Curry, no post defense, and Crawford getting 35+ minutes.
With an addition of Artest would be a great addition, cause he could play defense many different ways; help defense or man to man in the post or perimeter. He will make our defense very good. He can't guard all 5 guys, but he could shut down alot of guys in the league, which is a huge plus. I also expect alot from Balman, Collins and even David Lee to step it up defensively. I've seen no signs from Curry or Randolph ever being average to good defenders, since they put 95% of their energy into their offense, similar to how Ben Wallace puts 95% of his energy on his defense.
Toons, scoring is irrevelant when you turn the ball over alot and play defense.
You said:
"ok, the C's got ray allen, we have crawford, they have paul, we have Q., they have KG, we have randolph"
LMAO, thats just terrible. You pointed out the huge gap between them and us.
Celtics have no depth, correct. What bench did the lakers have? slava medvedenko and samaki walker? So who gives a crap. Rajon Rando is an PG who does everything besides shoot, have you seen him play? Perkins is an average player at best, but it doesn't matter. You act like Celtics have NBDL players starting with these 3. Having 5 guys who can score 20 points a game at each position doesn't win you games.
But they have 3 superstars, and we don't. Plus, Big Baby Leon Powe and Tony Allen can be decent reserves if given the chance.
In my opinion, you look at their top 6 players (Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, Perkins, with Tony Allen off the bench), and it just fits so well. They have plenty of good backups at the power forward position (Leon Powe among them - solid defender, rebounder). They only really need one or two more bench players to have an elite eight or nine man rotation.
I'm honestly not all that confident in Crawford's and Q-Rich's health either, they only played half a season. If those guys go down, what will our bench look like too? IF IF IF IF IF IF, we don't know, stop with the IFs it doesn't really prove any facts.
LJ4ptplay, Knicks will make the playoffs. I hope.
highesthigh, pass that roach man. I kinda figured it out already by your screenname.
KG is mad underrated.
Last edited by metrocard; Aug 01, 2007 at 07:53.
We Knick-Fans are going to hate the Celtics ten times more when we see them walk through alot of teams beating them by 20 or more points.
The Role-Players are out their and want in on the Celtics empty roster spots to make a name for themselves.
These Guys are HUNGRY!!!
I watched the press conference. I'm sure most people did. You know what I saw. The accident that waiting to happen. KG stole the thunder, while the other guys (WOW! who would ever think of Shuttlesworth and PDuece as others?) sat there. And now comes there real question, whose ego will get to them first. Pierce was dubbed the savior, couldn't get it done. Look at Phoenix, they have a big three, the were trying to move the most versatile piece in Shawn Marion this offseason. Why? Ego. They don't get along as much there anymore.
My point is about half court based teams are that they ultimately win in the finals. Look at 1999 till now. Look at the winning teams and the style of play and see if there a common denominator. 1999 Spurs (Half Court Team Duncan & Robinson), 2000-2002 Lakers (Half Court Team Shaq), 2003 San Antonio (Half Court Team Duncan), 2004 Detroit (Half Court Team) 2005 San Antonio (Half Court Team), 2006 Miami Heat (Half Court Team) and finally again 2007 San Antonio (Half Court Team). So us being a half court based team that runs when given opportunity makes us contender more than pretender. If we use that to our advantage. That's my point. I have reread my posts and I did read any major ifs. The Knicks will win. They'll be in the playoffs. That's my opinion.
The Celtics have a big 3 with some big ifs. If they stay healthty. If Ray & Tony Allen are/stay healthty. If they get enough complimentary role players. If Doc Rivers can keep the egos in check. If these players in garnett especially can handle the sometimes overtly racist media of Massachusetts. That was KG's drawback before, and that hasn't changed. Nothing in life is a given. So for all the posts stating that all is doom and gloom. RELAX Y'ALL! The season hasn't started. Whine to me if we start 0-7. Other than that, get outside and enjoy the summer. This stuff will work itself out regardless. Boston has 54.4Mil in 3 players. Now lets see who they bring in. You may get 60pts out of the big 3, but they'll need at least another 35PPG from somewhere. The guys left over Brandon Wallace, Rajon Rondo, Leon Powe, Kendrick Perkins, Gabe Pruitt and Glen (Fatbaby...oops, Big Baby ) Davis ( a poor man's crack headed version of Eddy Curry or Tractor Traylor Pt.2 or the remix whatever you want). Those cats might get 35 points versus me, but I'm not ballin in the L. They put no fear in my heart. Till the season starts, consider my panic button broken.
the east will dominate next year especially Atlantic division....
The Eastern Conference has gotten better," Garnett said when asked if he thought the Celtics were the favorite. "I wouldnt go that far and say were the team to beat. We have things to prove. We have to work on chemistry.
Garnett clearly knows it will take time. So why is everyone here so sure the Celtics are the Number One seed? Everything takes time. They have to go to camp, so do the Knicks. If the Knicks work hard, We be near the top of the East.
That said, everyone is falsely claiming that all they'd need is to add role players to their team and bench... But the Knicks have guys who have come in off their bench and started and played LIKE STARTERS! (Lee, Balkman, Collins)
Now, if the Knicks get Artest and manage to keep Lee and Balkman ( which I still think will happen ) Now you talk about moving Q to the bench, Lee and Balkman joining him there. What three guys off the bench in the east would be better than those? It is like having 3 extra starters. That would likely mean we'd keep Collins as well to backup Steph. So we'd add an even better defender and rebounder off the bench at pg as well.
In the unlikely event we'd have to part with Lee or Balkman ( which I doubt because of Ron's suspension and pending fa'cy next year ) We'd still have more than enough off the bench to compensate for what we lose in Lee or Balkman. Means we'd still have Chandler who plays defense and has every bit the athleticism of either Lee and Balkman and is probably every bit as good or better a shooter right now than both. And Isaiah has no problem playing rookies to help them grow.
The Knicks are in a much better spot than the Celtics. And Im personally glad the Celtics did this. This means everyone will expect the Knicks to finish last. Even less pressure on the team now.
This all goes back to what I said about the Heat 7 years ago. The point is on paper they looked like a championship team but it didn't pan out that way until they got Shaq and Wade. On paper the Celtics look like the Beast of the east but Carpy's right. It will take time. As a basketball fan I like the trade. I know the Celtics, Knicks and 76ers should always compete. It's tradition and it's good for the league. As a Knicks fan I want every one else to suck worse than we do but that's not reality. Celtics are a contender. I'd only worry about Paul's ego. He's had the team on his back for years and he's not the man any more. Ray should be fine.
A nice excerpt from an espn article today refering to the Boston Trio
************************************************** ********
In August 1996, when the Rockets mortgaged their future by trading Sam Cassell and Robert Horry to the Suns for Charles Barkley, teamed the Chuckster with Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler and crossed their fingers that a paltry supporting cast (basically, Eddie Johnson, Mario Elie and a gigantic hole at point guard) wouldn't sink them. Although Dream and Glide already had won titles, their careers were at a similar point as the KG-Pierce-Allen trio -- each (including Barkley) had peaked as impact players, but each had something left in his tank. Dream averaged a 23 points and 9 rebounds, Barkley recorded 19-13.5, Drexler chipped in with an 18-6-6, and the Rockets won 57 games and came within two victories of the '97 Finals, losing to the Jazz for one reason: Rookie point guard Matt Maloney was absolutely eviscerated by John Stockton. This was like watching Frankie Williams get destroyed by Roddy Piper on Piper's Pit, only if it happened for six straight games over the course of two weeks. That's why they lost.

James can't digest sugars proven by a stool test-normal was 0, his was over 200. A test done after very slow growth (extremely slow growth). The dr thought that a dairy protien allergy is causing damage to his colon that is resulting in malabsorption/disaccharidase defciancy. This theory of allergy is based off of green mousousy stools with occasional blood while exclusively bfing. So I was takenm off of dairy products. James is 11 months old and taking lots of solids now so his stools are now shiney and soft with only some mousus, and only one bloody stool since I went off of milk.
The question is, last week James was crawling around with his 1 year old cousin while us women watched a wedding video. When I looked over, James was gulping down Joseph's whole milk. Now James had no reaction in 3 days since-no diarreah, no bloody stools, no hives, nothing. If James is infact sooooooooo allergic to cows milk protiens that he would severly react to cows milk protiens coming through my milk, then shouldn't he have had a very bad reaction to guzzling a 1/2 oz too 1 oz of whole milk straight? Or some reaction?
James's brother IS allergic to cows milk and even the slightest minute amount causes a reaction, he also can't digest some sugars and is off of dairy and still has malabsorption issues from this disaccharidase defciancy (one that encompasses several sugars not just lactose) even without eating dairy.

I want to clarify some information that the newspaper did not mention in the article printed in Saturday's (Aug. 10) edition.
The newspaper forgot to print that the city manager stated during the meeting that the water level had increased in the last few weeks and the fact that the water was going to run out very soon was no longer an issue.
At no time during the water committee's public meeting were there ever any real or current cost figures presented until last Thursday (Aug. 8) when the Bee Development Authority made a presentation. That was the first time we had seen real figures for fresh water presented to the committee. The BDA proposal has no need to have a brine disposal permit. The city manager also has not presented any current test results of water from inside the city at depths of 400 to 600 feet in the Evangeline aquifer. Why?
Not all the committee members voted for the subcommittee's proposal during the last meeting. The persons who voted against the proposal were: John Galloway, Roy Galvan, Tom Beasley, Richard Beasley and Carlos Perez.
The persons who voted for the proposal were: Kathlyn Patton, Jessy T. Garza, Tom Healey, Jim Crumrine, Raul Casarez, Kenneth Elsbury, Tonja Rice and Teresa Holland.
I believe the city council should be voting to use the surface water, BDA water and city water from the Evangeline aquifer. If reverse osmosis is so cheap a process, why is Corpus Christi willing to buy water 200 miles away from them, and also our water rights to local water supply?
Maybe we, the resident voters, should be considering the replacement of our city management and city council and start all over again. It might be cheaper.
Formal education does not equate to being smart; we should all use more common sense.
Carlos Perez

My LO is 6 months old (in 4 days, yey, I did it - 6 mo exclusive bf!).
My letdowns are still rather painful. I can feel the letdown every time and it hurts Also, every time I have a letdown, the boob he is not nursing on leaks.
Is this normal? Should I worry about it?
I also still have the oversupply, often wake up in the middle of the night in serious discomfort... I thought it was all supposed to correct itself by now...

How to Grow
Start seeds indoors early, about 10 weeks before last frost. Seeds germinate best at 80 degrees F. Do not over water, and keep temperature warm but not hot to prevent damping off. Transplant outdoors after threat of frost has passed. Cherokee purple is indeterminate but only grows up to 5' high. Provide with proper support. A bit of pruning increasing yield of fruit. Do not over water, and water at the base of the plant if possible to help reduce occurance of disease. Harvest when tomatoes are fully ripe for best flavor.

Maybe I don't understand music very well but I never understood why people call "I Was Made for Lovin' You" a disco song. Sounds like a fairly straight-forward rock song to me. It was popular during the disco era - that's all I can work out. There are some ordinary moments on this album, especially the tunes that Ace sings (I can't stand his voice) but I really dig songs like "Sure Know Something" and "Magic Touch".

Ten days into a massive spill of molasses into Honolulu Harbor, state and federal officials tasked with responding to the crisis shared some good news Wednesday: the spill is naturally dissipating as initially predicted.
"Fortunately at this point, it appears that water quality including dissolved oxygen levels in the Honolulu Harbor and most of Keehi Lagoon have returned to normal or near normal levels largely due to the natural flushing," Ruth Yender of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said during a conference call led by Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz.
However, as quickly as the molasses is clearing up in some areas, it's sticking around in others. Yender said a zone just west of the harbor near the Reef Runway may take longer to return to normal.
Meanwhile, divers continue to enter waters inside and near the harbor to gather coral samples for testing. Last week, researchers at the Kewalo Marine Laboratory determined coral has already suffered major damage, but an assessment of the situation continues.
"I don't think that there's been really enough of an assessment on the bottom," said Michael Fry, an environmental contaminant biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "We've seen a lot of injury to coral and dead crabs and other invertebrate organisms."
Aerial and underwater images of molasses spill
Matson Navigation Co. has already taken responsibility for 233,000 gallons of molasses that spilled into the harbor last week Monday after a pipe the company didn't even know existed burst near Pier 52. Matson spokesman Jeff Hull told KITV4 the company remains focused on responding to the spill, and has not made any determination whether to set aside funds for the possible restoration of coral.
Since molasses is not considered a toxic substance under federal law, Fry said it remains unclear who will pay for any damage caused to coral heads.
"It's in a grey area in terms of federal law, so we're not quite sure," he said. "The state is certainly interested in preserving and protecting their resources, but we're in limbo in terms of knowing exactly where we're going."

When the 567-foot long guided missile cruiser U.S.S. Port Royal ran aground off the Reef Runway in February, 2009, the U.S. Navy spent $7 million to restore the reef. The effort involved the re-attachment of 5,400 loose coral colonies using hydraulic cement by CSA Ocean Sciences Inc.
Although it's unclear whether any restoration of coral will take place in the aftermath of the molasses spill, the state could always go to court to try and hold Matson responsible for the cost of such a project.
"The legal consequences are always there, and even in an oil spill, there are certainly legal ramifications," said Fry. "So, this is perhaps a little bit more complicated than that, but it's going to follow, we think, similar routes."
To date, the state Health Department (DOH) has collected 26,000 dead fish and other marine organisms since the spill occurred. The agency is also collecting water samples at 15 locations in Honolulu Harbor, Keehi Lagoon, and along Moanalua and Kapalama Streams.
"From the endangered species standpoint, we have not identified any endangered species that has been impacted by the molasses spill," said Dr. Keith Kawaoka, the hazard evaluation and emergency response officer with DOH, who also took part in Wednesday's conference call.
According to an aide to Sen. Schatz, 4,500 Hawaii residents took part in the conference call, which was open to the public. Federal and state officials are planning to hold a news conference Friday to provide the latest information regarding the molasses spill.
Currently, warning signs remain in place along Kapalama Canal, Keehi Lagoon and Lagoon Drive warning the public to stay out of the water and not to consume any fish from those areas.

Golden Girls1 of 54
By Natasha Burton
There's a lot to look forward to at the Golden Globes—like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosting!—but we're most excited to see the gorgeous gowns that will make their debut on the red carpet. In anticipation of the 70th anniversary of the award show, here's a look at our favorite fashion hits and misses of years past.
Blonde Ambition2 of 54
No wonder the camera loved her. Marilyn Monroe was radiant at the 1962 Globes wearing this slinky, sparkly and downright sassy gown.
Bing: See more of her iconic style
Leg Up3 of 54
Okay, so those strategically placed palm trees are a bit wacky, but we sort of love Anne Turkle's daring Globes dress from 1979—It's very Carmen Miranda–meets–Studio 54.
Bing: Which film landed her a nomination in 1975?
Seeing Red4 of 54
Morgan Fairchild's gauzy crimson halter surely got her some attention at the 1982 awards, when she was nominated for her role in Flamingo Road.
Bing: See her more subtle red carpet looks
Diva in Training5 of 54
Joan Collins sparkled in this deep green gown and coordinated emerald and diamond gems in 1983. One thing's for sure: The Dynasty star made the decade of excess look good.
Bing: How many times has she won a Golden Globe?
National Velvet6 of 54
This feel-good fabric has made a comeback on runways of late, but at the 1984 Golden Globes actress Diane Lane owned velvet with this low-cut, form fitting gown. While she wasn't nominated that year she certainly won on the red carpet.
Bing: Which film earned her a third nomination in 2012?
Be Jeweled7 of 54
After her turn as Ellen Ripley in Aliens, for which she was nominated at the 1987 Globes, Sigourney Weaver channeled her softer side with this glitzy sky blue gown.
Bing: She won Globes for her role in this film and this film in 1989
Search: See more of her red carpet looks
Suit Yourself8 of 54
Julia Roberts' oversize suit was a surprising choice, even in 1990, when the actress was nominated—and won—for her role in Steel Magnolias. But while the outfit does nothing for her figure, Roberts still has charm with that wild hair, unfussy brows and, of course, her signature grin.
Bing: Watch video of her winning her first Golden Globe
Forever Young9 of 54
Nominated for her part in Interview With the Vampire, Kirsten Dunst opted for a goth-inspired yet age-appropriate Globes outfit in 1995. While she had far more chic looks ahead of her, the outfit makes us miss the days when tween stars were a tad more modest.
Bing: Which actress did she lose to that year? | For which film?
Hello, Dahling!10 of 54
Never one for subtlety, comedian Christine Baranski struck a pose on the red carpet in 1997, looking oh so chic in this mermaid-cut gown and gloves.
Bing: Which TV show was she nominated twice for a Globe?
Find: Watch her on the show
In the Red11 of 54
Model turned actress Brooke Shields chose a red-on-red look for the Globes in 1998, right down to her cherry lipstick. But although she could look hot wearing a burlap sack, she didn't quite wow with this matchy-match gown and wrap.
Bing: She got two nominations for her role on which TV show?
White Hot12 of 54
Riding the wave of critical acclaim for Good Will Hunting, Minnie Driver wowed with this icy sheath dress—complete with a train!—in 1998. Though, we wish she'd worn her long locks up to really keep the attention on the gown.
Bing: Who was the last actress she lost to in 2008? | For which show?
So Long13 of 54
While Gwyneth Paltrow may be a sartorial icon now, in 1999 she walked the Globes red carpet looking more than a little unsure of her fashion sense in this too-long dress. Not that it mattered: She won the Best Actress award for Shakespeare in Love that night, then scored a major style win with her iconic pink Ralph Lauren gown (see photos) at the Oscars—and earned herself another statue to boot.
Bing: Which film landed her a Globe nomination in 2006?
Out of Line14 of 54
In one of her few off-the-mark red carpet moments, Cate Blanchett chose an ill-fitting, mandarin-collared, pinstriped get-up for the 2002 Globes.
Bing: She won her first Golden Globe for this film
Suit Up15 of 54
Jessica Alba is usually a fashion star, but this white suit in 2002 seemed to be tailored in all the wrong places with too long pants and an awkward flash of skin.
Bing: Which TV show did she get a nomination for in 2001?
Glitter Girl16 of 54
Showing off her gams in a sparkly Celine dress, Heather Locklear dazzled the red carpet in 2002.
Bing: How many times has she been nominated?
Earth Angel17 of 54
Nominated Monster's Ball in 2002, Halle Berry glowed at the Globes in this beautiful bronze Valentino gown.
Bing: She won her first Globe for portraying another actress
Ballerina Blunder18 of 54
One of the most memorable Golden Globes fashion moments in history, Lara Flynn Boyle's David Cardona-created outfit of a leotard, tutu and lace-up slippers were highly regarded as a faux pas—but Joan Rivers reportedly told the actress that she had guts to wear it.
Bing: Check out more pics of her bizarre fashion
Material Girl19 of 54
Known for her impeccable style, we were surprised to see Sarah Jessica Parker's ill-fated attempt to mimic Madonna's '80s look in 2003.
Bing: She won three awards for her role on a hit HBO show
Red Velvet20 of 54
In 2003, Salma Hayek set tongues wagging, literally, with this svelte Narciso Rodriguez gown.

Shine On31 of 54
Known for showing skin on the red carpet, Jennifer Lopez didn't disappoint in 2009. But, while this metallic number by Marchesa showed off the star's fabulous post-baby body, the shiny fabric and back-baring cut seemed like overkill.

Purple Reign41 of 54
Sandra Bullock took home the trophy for her work in The Blind Side in 2010 wearing this violet Bottega Veneta gown. While the color looks gorgeous with her chestnut hair, its gossamer fabric feels a bit prom-y for the red carpet.
Bing: What film earned her the award?
Hip Check42 of 54
In 2010, Drew Barrymore donned this controversial number by Atelier Versace, which set some fashion critics over the moon, and others into the pit of despair.

Sarah Michelle Gellar's 2-year-old daughter Charlotte allegedly chose this printed Monique Lhullier gown for her mom to wear on the red carpet. While we appreciate the fashion risk—and the sweet sentiment—we wonder if the Ringer star (watch clips) should stick with her regular stylist from now on.
Bing: Rumors of a new TV show for the star
Busy Body53 of 54

I'll throw up some videos next Monday on my next ME leg day.
Thinking of hitting rack pulls since I stall about 6" off the ground.
Nice...Quit stalling and subbed....
You got a certain poundage you are shooting for WB?
Never mind, it looks like West Side since you mention ME/DE days. Am I correct?
My squat and DL are semi respectable but I really need to work on my bench. I'm only hitting 225 for a single. Just can't seem to bounce back after my last rotator cuff injury. Probably more of a mental roadblock but we'll see.
Post some details of your program so others can see it and possibly learn from it?
Slow on yesterday's update. Gym was packed so I did what I could and called it a day.
ME Upper Body
BB Bench - Warm Up, Heavy double
DB Bench
DB Incline
EZ Bar Curls
Tricep Press Downs
Preacher Curls
Weighed in at 238.5 so I'm moving back in the right direction.
I started bouncing again for some extra $$$ while I'm between jobs. This is definitely throwing my schedule off. I'll have to adjust things until they fit.
I'll figure it out tho. I always do.
Working evenings/nights has thrown me off a bit, but I'm back on the grind today.
DE Legs
Warm up - Box Jumps
Sumo Deadlift - 6x1
Box Squats - 6x2
Hyper Extensions 3x15
Leg Extensions 3x15
Weighted Abs 3x10
Kettle bell Side Bends 3x10
Since today was "Dynamic Effort" the weights were lower and I focused on speed.
Let us know about those singles brother!
Life is still kicking me in the teeth and messing up my schedule but I'm doing what I can.
DE Upper Body
Speed Bench 6x3
Seated Mil Press 2x12
Chins - 5 sets to failure
Dips - 3 sets to failure
Superset: 2x20 External DB rotations/DB Curls/DB Shrugs
I'll get some vids up later this week on my ME days.
Looks like a solid plain here, can't wait to see where you can take it to.
WB - Props for handling all of life and the training bro.
ME Lower Body
Warm Up - Box Jumps to the highest box in the gym. Maybe 36"?
Rack Pulls - Ramp up to 505lbs for a single. Drop back to 405 for a few sets of triples. Pulling from the first pin, plates about 6" off the ground. This is where I've been stalling.
Pin Squats/Dead Squats - 10 singles
Leg Curls - 3x10
Weighted Crunches
Now who wants to tell me how to upload a video from an iphone?
WB, I don't think you can upload a vid directly from the iPhone. The file system Apple uses doesn't allow for direct uploads of pics or vids.
I like that workout. I'd love to do the box jumps but my knee won't allow anything close to resembling impact movements.
It's a program that was wrote up for me by a member on ASF. I've had to make some adjustments due to lack of equipment but it's doing pretty good so far.
I doubt I'll ever compete in powerlifting, but it's nice knowing you've got it under the hood :)
After watching a how-to video by a 10 year old, I got the video up.
Shitty quality but it makes me official.
Nice pull brother
Nice rack pull!!
I try to shoot on an angle when ever possible. I can get more of the bar in there showing the weights and the view is more favorable. Shows more depth to the shot. I've set mine up on other machines or benches with weights stacked up.
Looking good man, keep at it.
Love me some rack pulls.
