Lincecum avoids scare after liner drills knee

SAN FRANCISCO -- Tim Lincecum received a bad bruise but escaped serious injury in Friday night's exhibition against the A's when Daric Barton hit a line drive that struck the Giants right-hander on the inside of his left knee.
X-rays taken at AT&T Park confirmed that Lincecum avoided a fracture.View Full Game Coverage
With the bases loaded and two outs in the fourth inning, Barton smashed Lincecum's first pitch low and up the middle. The ball hit Lincecum's leg during his follow-through and caromed halfway back toward home plate, where catcher Buster Posey picked it up and threw to first base for the inning-ending out.
Meanwhile, Lincecum skipped toward first base in pain before collapsing onto his hands and knees. Manager Bruce Bochy and head athletic trainer Dave Groeschner raced toward Lincecum to check on the two-time Cy Young Award winner. After a brief consultation, Groeschner and assistant trainer Eric Ortega flanked Lincecum and led him toward the X-ray facilities.
Lincecum said he initially experienced a sensation akin to paralysis but quickly felt fine.
"I'm not too worried," he said. "I knew it hit me in a relatively good spot. It didn't hit me in the front of the kneecap."
Lincecum's status for his initial start of the 2014 regular season, scheduled for Thursday at Arizona, was uncertain. Much could depend on the condition of his knee on Saturday. Whether Lincecum avoids swelling could be a significant factor.
"Things are looking positive, the way I feel right now," Lincecum said in typically upbeat fashion.
Said Bochy, "If I had to guess right now, I'd say he'll be OK to start. But I think we'll have a better idea tomorrow."
Bochy mentioned Yusmeiro Petit, the long reliever who pitched a scoreless fifth inning in Friday's 4-1 loss to Oakland, as a possible replacement if Lincecum is unable to face Arizona. Conceivably, if Lincecum needs only slightly more recovery time, he could exchange assignments with No. 5 starter Ryan Vogelsong, who's slated to face the Dodgers next Friday.
The Giants were relieved that a member of their starting rotation, who happens to be among the most popular players in the clubhouse, averted disaster.
Bochy pointed out that Barton's drive hit Lincecum squarely. "The ball didn't ricochet left or right," Bochy said.
Said Posey, "It's reaction to go after the ball, but at the same time, you're running out there, picking up the ball and thinking, 'He just got whacked hard.'"
In an incident vaguely similar, Lincecum left a start after 4 1/3 innings at Houston on Aug. 12, 2008, when Brad Ausmus smashed a line drive off his right kneecap. Lincecum made his next scheduled start on his regular four days' rest and lasted 7 2/3 innings, yielding three hits and striking out 10 in a 3-1 Giants victory at Atlanta.
Possessing a gymnast's flexibility, the 29-year-old has missed only one start in his 6 1/2-year Major League career due to physical reasons, on Sept. 8, 2009, against San Diego. Back spasms sidelined Lincecum that game, prompting the Giants to summon left-hander Madison Bumgarner from Double-A to make his Major League debut.

Tomorrow is February! That means that Daytona is right around the corner! I, personally, can't wait. The off season always seems extremely long to me (despite the fact that it is pretty much the shortest off season of any sport) and it drags on to me. I am ready to saddle up and watch. I am ready to be out at the track…taking in the sights, sounds and smells. I AM READY.
One thing I am going to admit to you is that as much as I love and look forward to the beginning of the season- there is also the struggle of having to pick out new driver/numbers/crew chiefs etc. There is always having to get use to all the new dynamics out there on top of the new nuances of things like the EFI and how that will effect the cars on the track and whatnot. Plus did I mention the new numbers/new sponsors thing that ALWAYS throws me for a loop?
Stewart Haas Racing is not immune to changes- especially this season. Probably one of the most profound changes, everyone knows about. That is that Steve Addington will be Tony's new crew chief this season. It's not necessarily a change that I understand the reasoning behind but then again I am not a behind the scenes person so I am sure there is a reason for it. Right?
SHR was also able to finally fill the long empty (since May of 2011 if I am not mistaken) Director of Competition position with Greg Zipadelli. This does not surprise me in the least. I had a feeling back when Tony started Stewart-Haas Racing that Greg would end up over at SHR eventually in some capacity. It also seemed to me that there was increasing friction between Joey Logano and Greg Zipadelli towards the end of last season so it seemed like a natural move for everybody involved.
Stewart-Haas Racing also announced at the end of last season that Danica Patrick would be running the 10 car for 10 races (ha 10 for 10) in the cup series under the Stewart-Haas racing banner. But wait? Now it sounds like technically Danica will be running the 10 car for TBR (Tommy Baldwin Racing) and David Ruetimann will be running the rest of the season in the 10 car. Whot? I thought the 10 car was a SHR car? I am unclear as to what exactly this means…but the way I understand it (and this is just me…so it might NOT actually be happening this way): TBR is in a "partnership" with SHR in that SHR will provide the 10 car and the 10 crew chief (Greg Zipadelli) to TBR who will provide the 10 car with their owner points so that Danica is guarenteed to make it into the Daytona 500 without Tony having to give her his points and resting on his Championship provisional to get it. When Danica isn't in the 10 car, the car will be totally a TBR car and Ruitimann will have his own (a different) crew chief. It kind of makes sense because if Tony were to give Danica his points and take the championship provisional, he wouldn't be locked in the top 35 for the first five races. That would be wasted on Danica who isn't running a full schedule. All I know is that the PR folks in charge of the Stewart-Haas Racing twitter account tells us that it's a "win-win" for everyone. So there you have it. It's "Winwin" just deal with it?! (I am still kind of unclear if this means Danica is still a Stewart-Haas Racing driver).
Other changes including the adding of Quicken Loans and Aspen Dental to the list of sponsors signing up to sponsor Ryan Newman. Add that to the Outback that was added in Phoenix (I was in the media center for the announcement).
So…what are Stewart-Haas's chances of fielding two cars in the chase again next season? I don't know. The die-hard fan in me wants Tony to go out there and take names next season and win another championship. GO TONY GO! I'M WITH SMOKE! You know the drill. I always want Tony to win EVERY race- every single one. I hope that Tony and team always go out there with that same attitude- the same one we saw at Homestead-Miami. But we do have to take into consideration there are changes within the organization- the least of which means that Tony will have a new crew chief to build a rapport with. Plus there is the third car for 10 races (or is there? I am still kind of confused…is it really considered a Stewart-Haas Racing team?). So there is a 3 car dynamic for nearly a third of the races this coming season. Can I just say though that I really REALLY want Tony to go out there and get that Daytona 500 win finally? Because I so do!
And just to add this picture from last month from Stewart-Haas Racing Twitter's account that CRACKS me up:
Which reminds me- be sure to watch for Tony to be on The Last Man Standing with Tim Allen- it should air sometime around Speed Weeks (I think it comes on Valentines Day- but I will update when I know for sure).
I'm With Tony! Are you? Let's go 2012!

Nearly a year ago, Larry Sebuck, 70, was golfing with his regular Monday group of four. Finishing the first nine, he hits a long drive on the 10th hole at Hidden Cypress Golf course.
As he walks down the hill, preparing to putt, Larry collapses. He experienced a sudden cardiac arrest.
Seeing the incident from his backyard, Bob Kart rushed to Larry's side immediately beginning CPR.
"When I was walking in the house I could see out of the patio window a man lying on the ground," Bob Kart said. "I thought he had fallen and injured his ankle, but he wasn't moving."
As a retired veterinarian, Kart noticed signs of trouble. Larry had no reflexes, was not breathing and was an unusual color. While he was performing CPR, Kart's wife Midge, called 911.
"After I had called, I told my neighbor to stand by the road to direct the EMTs to our backyard," she said.
For about 10 minutes before the ambulance arrived, Bob Kart continued chest compressions even breaking Larry's ribs during the process.
"He started to show a response and I knew that things were more positive," Bob Kart said. "I had a certain amount of time before his body would shut down."
Once the ambulance arrived, Sebuck was defibrillated on the course and again during the ride to Coastal Carolina Hospital. Upon arrival, he crashed again and was revived.
Larry was taken to the cardiac center at Hilton Head Hospital where he spent weeks in recovery.
"He couldn't move or talk. It was a miracle he even survived," Ronnie Sebuck said. "I can't thank Bob enough for saving my husband's life."
Larry Sebuck's first recollection after waking up was seeing his grandson. Once stable, he began rehabilitation at the Cypress of Hilton Head.
"It was a long process with the physical therapist," Larry Sebuck said.
Starting in a wheelchair, Larry regained his mobility over a couple of months.
In July 2012, he had open heart surgery at the Medical University of South Carolina then had a defibrillator/pacemaker installed. In December, he completed the 12-week extensive cardiac rehab program at Coastal Carolina Hospital.
Over the past 10 months, the Sebucks have become close friends with the Karts. Bob and Larry even see the same cardiologist. While they didn't meet under the best circumstances, they're thankful for the new friendship.
Before April 2, 2012, Bob Kart had never performed CPR. With previous experience at the community's fitness center, he was certified through annual CPR classes.
"I was only a small part, the nurses, doctors are the ones who saved his life," Bob said.
In honor of the role he played in saving Larry Sebuck's life, the Bluffton Fire Department awarded him Tuesday with a plaque and medal.
"I thank God every day that we are living a normal life now. We missed out on a lot last year and we look forward to going back to a regular routine and being healthy," Ronnie Sebuck said.
Larry continues to go to the driving range and anticipates the day he turns to the courses.
"Life is good," he said.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Former Gov. Charlie Crist's campaign for governor is already pulling in large amounts of money.
A political committee linked to the Democratic candidate on Friday reported that it had raised nearly $900,000 since Nov. 4. That's the same day that Crist formally kicked off his bid to reclaim his old job.
The committee, Charlie Crist for Florida, isn't bound by any campaign contribution limits. The $872,000 raised by Crist came from just 24 donors, much of it from attorneys. The Grossman Roth law firm gave $250,000.
Incumbent Gov. Rick Scott has already amassed a sizable war chest for his political committee called Let's Get to Work.
Since it was revived in the summer of 2011 the committee has raised more than $23 million and spent slightly less than $3 million.

Terra, who had gotten a new job doing ABA therapy with young children the same week she got pregnant with Ethan, feels now that "this was a way for God of preparing me for things."
In the end, it was some vertical blinds that helped Melissa Terra see the truth.
Working as an Applied Behavioral Analysis therapist with young autistic children, Terra dealt with some difficult situations day in and day out. Biting. Tantrums. Toileting issues.
A difficult job, for sure, but one she was able to leave behind each day when she went home to her husband and five children. There, she could just be "Mom."
That is, until the day her youngest child, Ethan, ripped down a vertical blind and started waving it in front of his eyes.
"I can say when I saw that, everything started ringing in my head," said Terra, who by then had a good 15 years under her belt working with special needs children and adults. "You know how people say their life flashed before their eyes? That's what happened to me."
It was in that moment, as her 10-month-old waved that blind and drifted off into his own world, that Terra realized Ethan was autistic.
Suddenly, she could see the signs that had been there all along: Ethan was a fussy baby who could only be consoled by nursing; he'd had a very bad reaction to the hepatitis B shot at birth; he would fuss around crowds, calming down only when his mother took him into a quiet room; he gagged on baby food; he wouldn't take a "binky," like her other four children had; and he would sit in his walker, glued to the moving images on the TV screen.
Terra, who had gotten a new job doing ABA therapy with young children the same week she got pregnant with Ethan, feels now that "this was a way for God of preparing me for things."
"I didn't know [when I started the job] that I would have a child with autism," she explained. "I was doing research [for my job] and working with these children, and I started piecing together that something wasn't right [with Ethan.]"
Still, Terra didn't panic. In fact, she even kept her concerns from her husband, for fear of needlessly worrying him.
"I thought, 'Am I being hyper-vigilant?'" she said, worried that because she saw autistic behaviors — lack of eye contact, self-stimulatory behavior, tantrums — all day, every day. "I started watching people's reactions to him. My mother would say things like, 'He's so happy in his little world.'"
But that is when Terra started bringing her work home, introducing Ethan to sign language and the Picture Exchange Communication System, or PECS, in which children are taught to use small cards with symbols and icons on them to ask for what they want. Unlike other parents who helplessly watch their children struggle, Terra knew exactly what to do to start helping Ethan.
And she immediately began asking her pediatrician for a referral to Dr. Jeannine Audet, a developmental specialist who works out of the Fernandes Center for Children & Families in Fall River. "The pediatrician said, 'No way, no one gets diagnosed this young,'" Terra said.
Still, as a therapist herself, Terra knew she was right. She got Ethan started with speech and occupational therapy through Early Intervention. And she immersed herself in learning about the disorder.
Through her own pleading with Audet, Terra was able to get her son an appointment, and Ethan received his diagnosis at 17 months. "It confirmed it, but I was still hoping I was wrong," she said, adding that her son's pediatrician eventually apologized for doubting her instincts.
By the time Ethan reached age 3, Terra was working as an ABA therapist for the Somerset school system. "I felt sick about how my son was going to come up [in their special needs transition records] and how they would handle him," she said.
She was worried her relationship with her new employer would be strained. Luckily, things worked out fairly smoothly. "They knew I knew about autism," Terra said.
Nowadays, Terra works as an ABA therapist for a neighboring school district. "To me, there is no other higher calling than working with families directly," she said. "You're not just there to get paid. You have to show an interest in the family."
And because Terra has an autistic son herself, she can relate to their frustrations, their struggles. "I don't go in and tell them [about Ethan] right away," she explained. "I want them to like my work. It's about me working with the child, not about my life and my child."
Still, she said she often forms a special bond with the parents of the children she works with, offering advice or encouragement, and sometimes just a sympathetic ear.
"I have to say that out of all the therapists we had at the time, she didn't downplay any of the concerns I had," said Johanna Nelson, of Dighton, whose son Daniel worked with Terra. "I think that had a lot to do with the fact that she walks the walk we walk."
Nelson said Terra made lessons very functional for Daniel. For instance, when Daniel was learning his colors, he liked to color in large circles. Terra showed Daniel how to make those circles into balloons, so it looked more like a picture.
"Melissa wanted him to have fun, too," Nelson said. "She brought in her son's Gameboy for Daniel. I was so into 'He has to learn, learn, learn,' but she would say, 'He's still a little boy, he still has to have fun.'"
The toughest thing, Terra said, for many families is that they struggle to stop treating their autistic child like a baby. "It's not just a process with the child, it's a process with the whole family," she said. "Not every [ABA program] works cold turkey. Be realistic, but you can raise the bar."
Does she ever get burned out, dealing with her young students and then coming home and having to "live" autism as well?
"It's the most rewarding thing in the world," she said. "It's such a joy to see small progress. The first sign of communication, the first word, the first time they hand you a picture."
And her advice to other parents of autistic children: Remember to work together as a team with your child's therapist.
"Work with therapists toward a goal, and work toward it wholeheartedly, " she said. "Keep moving forward, even if it's baby steps, and celebrate every little goal you make."

Opinion: House Divided on Immigration Reform
Political Diary editor Jason Riley on the prospects of immigration reform in the House. Photo: Associated Press
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
... welcome to Opinion Journal why Mary Kissel ... House Republicans started debating immigration reform today and suffice to say ... it remains a house divided ... political diary editor Jason Riley is also the author of less than in is here ... by Jason ... the scams broadly divided Issakainen populist versus ... principled ... conservatives ... how does it have ... already been a while you've got ... you've got a free markets and ... the free market conservative say why can't free market principles he applied to immigration the same why we apply them to other sectors ... of the economy in our thinking in other areas such as trade ... and so forth aam and then you have ... labor protection as well which of the ball is on the right the disorder pack you can Pitchfork tied to ... you know don't want on our markets open for labor they think they still American jobs and so forth ... and and then you have some social conservatives who worried or not assimilating ... immigrants the way we use to one hundred years ago so ... well in most of this reform is going to live or die in the house said he had a Judiciary Committee chairman Bob good but said today ... the GOP quote needs to take the time to learn from the past that our efforts to re form ... not repeat the same stakes in his new well ... aam AB all eyes were on good laugh because I'm not a lot is known about where he would come down ... up in this debate he's the new house huge huge issue term and I he succeeded will Lamar Smith of Texas ... a long time Mr. Ciena's than ... in the question of whether he would be perfect for my Saturday where they would be an improvement ... over over cement and today it's understood what what what more border security ... um um for higher skilled immigrants ALM so that ... that that he didn't show a lot of ... of of where and where is coming from today so will have to see that the first of several hearings going for but married this debate aam will probably have to go through the maths Committee on immigration reform typically ... as is the place where are the house to shake reason we were placed on that side ... of the next chamber where were immigration reform has has come from and what's interesting is that like in the Senate ... you have House members who districts who that outperformed ... Obama because you know the gerrymandering in some these are safe seats ... and and they don't get who with the Senate to get all the data weigh on him so I think theres that because we've got a little chart and I wanna put out of House Republicans ... that have the highest percentage of Hispanics ... in Florida and California New Mexico that's no surprise ... that Jason ... is the ... isthe changing today had this really extended moved into places like Pennsylvania for the Midwest and it could that change the way the House Republicans ... vote on immigration for guessing you have aam ... Hispanic Americans moving around like the rest of us depending on where ... where jobs are growing and whether or not ALM so to the southeast to southwest and so forth over the past decade or so ... but what's interesting is where the newcomers are settling and it's not just the sort of gateway states the ball ... new York Texas California you see them and and and you mention out of Pennsylvania to see them in Iowa you see them in North Carolina the season in Tennessee and that's because that's where the job growth had been occurring ... but that's new to the people working there I mean they're not use the signs in Spanish than I use to the kids going to school with children who speak Spanish telecom and so it's been a little jarring I think a lot of the reason that this has been so controversial ... in the heartland over the past decade or so has been because it's new to those of us old timers to live and on the coast are used to that sort of cosmopolitan ... aam environment but in Indiana and small towns in Iowa or Indiana and so forth ... this is the election or experiencing some adjustments as it is is that maybe even more important for the House leadership John painter Eric Cantor ... to really push for re form ... to to say in those districts well it's time to do that it makes it important to educate the public on how immigrants impact your economy our politics aam and that's what it makes an important is an education is can it be needed from the leadership because ... aam ... we know the Democrats are catalysts for economic growth we know that they help keep our population young and vibrant so that we don't turn into ... retirement communities like Europe and Asia and so forth ... so we want these folks coming here but we want them to come illegally and I think what we need for leadership ... is to explain coming from a political issue from both parties to explain why that is why immigrants of all is part of our history one that should continue in future so Jason at about thirty seconds left what is a hasty really the issue ... I it that is going to ... allow were formed procedural ... Africa well as something that we can get hung up on but I think going forward if we really wanna solve the problem with the goal to the key to doing that is providing illegal ways for people to come simply legalizing the illegal population here isn't didn't do much because the day after the amnesty passes the next Ealy lemon All cross border because there are no more legal ways ... to come so that's where we wanna solve this problem going forward ... give people were coming here on the chance to come illegally ... get people were coming a chance to come legally Political diary editor Jason Riley also the author of wet and and ... thank you for being here with us

Combining security with advanced process nodes has become a challenge in recent years. This is due to the diminishing alternatives for embedded flash when moving past the 28nm process node. Winbond has introduced the TrustMe secure flash products to address this challenge and remove the barriers for adding secure non-volatile storage to practically any process node out there.
Achieving Higher-Density Code Storage with Serial Flash Memory
Even though NOR flash remains attractive for code storage it has reached its technology limit. The solution is Serial SLC NAND flash based on the SPI interface, offering a better cost per bit with significant compatibility to serial NOR.
How to boost your real time applications with new value lines STM32 microcontrollers
More and more real time applications do require a very strong CPU capability, aside integrated peripherals. But, there was still a question mark with regards to the amount of embedded flash needed in these applications. The new value lines STM32 microcontrollers will ease this decision process and give more flexibility to the developers.

Back in the day, I would spend every summer in Ocean City, NJ.
I was very lucky to have great parents who could afford a summer rental at the shore. Each summer, I would play at the basketball courts at 34th street, in pick up games. I wasn't some super star talent, but the games were fun, and I remember at the start of each summer how my lungs would burn after just one game, and i'd be gasping from running up and down the court. I'd get home and have blisters on my big toe, and my legs would be sore from the game.
Weeks would pass and my legs would get stronger, my endurance would grow, I could run multiple games in a row without a major problem. By the end of the summer, I was definitely in real good shape for basketball, and fall would come, i'd be back at school...and it would repeat the next summer.
When I went to Villanova I enrolled in NROTC. Both my brother in laws were Naval Academy graduates, and this motivated me to join the military. My first six weeks of college weren't about partying every night, but getting to bed early to be at PT by 5:45am - Monday through Friday. It was brutal stuff. Pushups, situps, jumping jacks, and pullups. Running until you are about to drop and finding that last burst of energy.
Why do I mention this now, when i'm supposed to be writing about Crossfit Hoboken?
Well, I was thinking of both of these things when I was gasping for air last Saturday. When the instructor towered over me saying "Lift up the medicine ball...higher. Higher. HIGHER!" When an extremely cute brunette girl was watching me do situps and motivating me with "Come on! Push! Do 1 more...1 more..." When I was done, and feeling like a weakling and would have a complete stranger pat me on the back and say "Good job, man".
At one point of time I wondered what the hell I was thinking by doing this. It was almost too difficult for me, I hadn't worked out in months - and even back at my days at Club H, most of my "lifting" was at a pretty easy pace. I would lift, rest two minutes, lift, rest two minutes...and just work out building up muscle but not a ton of endurance.
Crossfit is definitely different. It's hard, but good. What the trainers did with our group of about 30 people was divide us into six teams of five people. Then we had teams pair off until we had three groups (two teams to a group). We then had a competition where we had to do the following:
Row for 250 meters - Teammate #1
Box jump - Teammate #2
Shoulder Press - Teammate #3
Sit up Press - Teammate #4
Rest - Teammate #5
We had 8 minutes. The goal was to get the most number of reps in 8 minutes on whatever station you were on, and would ROTATE to the next station when the rower reached 250 meters. So the rower would go to the box jump, the box jump would go to the shoulder press, the sit up would rest and the guy resting would row for 250 meters. Rotate. Repeat. Rotate. Repeat. After 8 minutes, the second team would start and we would rest, counting their score up and tallying what they did.
Then when they were done - we did it again.
Lets just say for someone like me, it was a quick slap in the face for how out of shape I really was. Plus, you had people watching me barely able to do 10 situps (especially in the case of the cute brunette, only added to the humiliation) - but there was a key difference.
In many ways it reminds me of those days playing basketball at Ocean City and NROTC at Villanova. I can't sit here and tell you I was enjoying myself necessarily at the workout - I was really looking forward to it being over. But what did make it a bit more enjoyable was the camaraderie by the trainers and the other participants.
Working out at Club H over the years one of my biggest complaints were about the staff and the people who went there. Everyone had an attitude at Club H. My friends and I would laugh about it, but it's true - the trainers walk around like they own the place and wouldn't say a word to you unless you were in their way. Never a friendly smile. Always the "I'm the quarterback" smug look on their faces. Same was true with nearly everyone who worked out there. Nasty people, with a nasty attitude. I always, always, always asked permission and said "Please" and "Thank you" and never heard that in return except from the people working the front desk or the juice bar.
I think Crossfit brings to the table something different, fundamentally different, not only in the way they train people, but also about motivating people. This isn't the Marine Staff Sergeant yelling "YOU ARE A WORM! YOU ARE WEAK! YOU ARE WORTHLESS!" - but more of a team oriented group that definitely made a good impression on my first visit.
Much like everything else I write about on here, I think it would be disingenuous for me to write up a glowing review on one visit. But as first impressions go - score one for Crossfit Hoboken.
I plan to sign up for the fundamentals class. You can't just join Crossfit and go right into the classes, you first have to learn their calisthenics, and build up the energy and muscle over 8 classes, which are spread over a month long course. I'll take that course and write more on that later. But if you are interested in this, I would suggest trying out the free beginners class every Saturday at 10am. Crossfit Hoboken is located at 38 Jackson Street, you can't miss the entrance it has a nice blue banner over the doorway and it's located on the 2nd floor.

Hornets' Hairston faces assault charges
Charlotte Hornets guard P.J. Hairston, a first-round draft pick last month, must appear in Durham County (N.C.) Court on misdemeanor charges of assault and battery following an altercation during a weekend pickup basketball game.
Hairston released the following statement Monday:
"I want to apologize to the Hornets organization and our fans for creating this distraction. As this is now a legal matter, I cannot comment on the situation any further. I am truly sorry for any embarrassment that I have caused."
Hairston's court date is Aug. 8.
"The organization is aware of the charges filed against P.J. Hairston regarding yesterday's incident," the Hornets said in a statement. "It is a legal matter and we will have no further comment until the legal process has run its course."
Paul Sherwin, the public information officer for the Durham County Sheriff's Office, said Hairston, 21, was issued a summons on Monday but will not be arrested.
"If two people get into a fight in North Carolina and there is no serious injury and is not witnessed by an officer, our hands are tied," Sherwin said, according to ESPN.com. "We don't charge people in (unwitnessed) fistfights. They have to file a report with the magistrate office."
Kentrell Barkley, a 6-foot-5, 190-pound rising senior at Northern Durham High School, said in court documents that Hairston "punched him twice in the head" during a heated basketball game Sunday at the Durham YMCA.
"We were playing open gym and I was running up the court and he hit me in the forehead with his fist," the 17-year-old Barkley told ESPN.com on Sunday. "I walked up to him and asked him what happened, and then he hit me again in the neck."
Hairston's agent, Juan Morrow, confirmed to ESPN that his client threw a punch at Barkley. However, Morrow said it was in retaliation.
"The pickup game got heated, the kid swung at P.J. and P.J. swung back," Morrow said. "P.J. did not go out and beat up a little kid like some people want to make it out to be."
Hairston earlier responded via Twitter on Monday:
"Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see."
Hairston was kicked off the University of North Carolina team in December following an investigation involving impermissible benefits. He also twice was cited for traffic violations.
Hairston finished last season in the NBA Development League, where he averaged 21.8 points per game for the Texas Legends. He was drafted 26th overall by the Miami Heat, then was dealt to Charlotte for the 24th overall pick (Connecticut guard Shabazz Napier) and two second-round picks.

Healthy Chocolate Treats
Dark chocolate as a delicious friend, not foe
En español | Remember when chocolate joined broccoli and blueberries as a health-promoting, disease-fighting food? Dark chocolate, specifically, is good for you. Its usual partners — butter, sugar, cream — are what drag it down. So for your guiltless pleasure, I share with you three healthy chocolate treats: Coconut Hot Chocolate, Double Chocolate Pudding and Chocolate-Peanut Chex Mix.
Dark chocolate helps fight inflammation, especially important for cardiovascular health. But this sweet treat also helps with two other biggies — reducing blood pressure and "bad" LDL cholesterol. In addition, dark chocolate is high in fiber, so just a little bite quickly curbs the appetite and satisfies for longer than empty-calorie snacks do.
Two recent studies point to more good chocolate news. According to a small Italian study, regular chocolate eating increases insulin sensitivity, which means reduced risk for diabetes. And a Swedish study observed a 20 percent reduction in strokes for women who ate more than 1 1/2 ounces of chocolate a week, compared with those who ate a scant quarter-ounce.
Like baby aspirin, chocolate helps thin the blood, and so much more deliciously. Plus, remember when your mom blamed chocolate for all of your facial blemishes? Quite the opposite! In fact, chocolate is good for skin. What's more, chocolate is good for your mood. There's great satisfaction in enjoying the occasional treat, in moderation, and chocolate can offer that much-needed energy boost when we start to lag.
Despite all the good news about chocolate, we all know it doesn't mean we're entitled to an enormous wedge of chocolate cake, a big brownie or a saucer-size chocolate-chip cookie. Still, it's nice to know that something we all crave is actually good for us.
Coconut Hot Chocolate
Serves 2
Don't confuse coconut drink with canned coconut milk or cream. Coconut drink is usually located in the nondairy-milk section.
2 cups coconut drink (such as Coconut Dream)
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Slowly bring coconut drink, chocolate and salt to simmer in a medium saucepan, whisking to melt the chocolate. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and serve.
Double Chocolate Pudding
Serves 6
I like whole milk's richness in this pudding. If you use reduced- or low-fat milk, you could probably justify enjoying a slightly larger portion.
2 cups whole milk
6 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
2 tablespoons roasted pumpkin seeds
Microwave milk in a 1-quart Pyrex measuring cup until steamy hot, 3 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt in a medium saucepan. Over medium heat, vigorously whisk in milk. Continue to whisk until mixture thickens to pudding consistency, just a couple of minutes. Remove from heat; whisk in chocolate. Serve warm or pour into an airtight container or 6 custard cups with a sheet of plastic over the surface to keep a skin from forming. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds on pudding before serving. The pudding can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
Chocolate-Peanut Chex Mix
Makes about 2 cups
Of these three healthy chocolate treats, this one is pretty addictive, so be sure to measure out a portion and put the rest out of sight!
1 cup Chex cereal (variety, your choice)
1 cup bite-size pretzels
1/2 cup roasted peanuts (salted, optional)
1 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted
Toss cereal, pretzels and peanuts with warm chocolate to evenly coat. Turn onto a parchment- or waxed-lined small baking sheet and spread in a more or less single layer. Refrigerate until set, about 10 minutes. Serve!

|[Gentoo Linux Home] [GLEP Index] [GLEP Source]
|Resolution for Aging EBuilds
|2003/11/21 02:32:05
|Caleb Tennis <caleb at gentoo.org>
|Standards Track
Many of the ebuild scripts found within Gentoo's Portage have come as a direct result of user submission via Gentoo's Bugzilla interface. However, a large number of open ebuild requests remain in Bugzilla. This GLEP attempts to resolve these requests.
As of the first draft of this GLEP, there are 1517 EBUILD bug requests in Gentoo's bugzilla database. These requests generally fall into three categories:
1. The package is important to Gentoo users, but has simply has not yet made its way into Portage.
Leaving these requests open does not help Gentoo. Not only does the bug count become artifically inflated, but bug maintenance also becomes more difficult adding to open requests that developers must sift through.
Furthermore, having a policy in place as to how ebuild bug requests are handled is important for consistency and accountability.
Portage simply cannot contain an automated ebuild for every software package available. Ebuilds that are included are done so mostly based on the whim and knowledge of developers. Many software packages are of interest only to a small subset of end users, and as such would be a misuse of resources by including in Portage.
This implementation applies only to requests which have been idle in the database for an extended period of time. The recommended time is 90 days.
After this period, the bugs should be handled in the follow manner:
The (systematic) denial of the inclusion of ebuilds into the Portage tree may leave some users to feel slighted because their ebuild was not accepted into Portage. This is an unfortunate side effect of a system that relies on acceptal or denial.
It may be desirable to provide an official repository for abandoned ebuilds to go. Any attachments to these bug reports could be placed here, so that the author's effort has not gone in vein.
No current policies exist that interfere with this document.

"Help us protect vulnerable adults – it's everybody's business." That's the message from West Sussex County Council which is raising awareness of elder abuse.
The county council is highlighting the need to be vigilant of all adult abuse following World Elder Abuse Awareness Day yesterday (Sunday June 15).
Information including posters and leaflets is in all the county's libraries throughout June.
It can be difficult for people to speak out but encouraging friends and neighbours to raise the alarm if they think that they themselves or an elderly or vulnerable person they know may be experiencing abuse is an important part of the county council's work to safeguard adults vulnerable to the risk of abuse.
West Sussex County Council Cabinet Member for Adults' Services, Peter Catchpole, urges anyone who might have a concern to contact the council.
He says: "Speaking out isn't always easy but we all need to play our part in protecting vulnerable older people by being alert to the signals of someone being abused.
"We also need to help people who may be unable or less able to protect themselves to feel confident and as able as possible to help them to avoid abuse by others.
"The county council wants to ensure vulnerable adults are supported in the ways they want to keep themselves safe and make it clear adult abuse will not be tolerated. We believe each person has a right to be respected and not threatened, harmed or put at risk.
"It may not be easy to detect abuse but signs could include a change in behaviour with a person becoming more cowed, unkempt, dressed inappropriately and in extreme cases bruised or injured.
"Abuse, even if the person responsible did not intend it to be so, can be really distressing and have a serious impact on a person's health and wellbeing and we want to avoid it wherever we can.
"If you fear for yourself or someone you know, do not take it into your own hands but contact the police or Adults' Services."
There are also other organisations that can provide advice and information that you might find helpful available on our website. For further information visit www.westsussex.gov.uk and search 'Safeguarding adults at risk'.
There are many types of abuse including physical, emotional, psychological, sexual or discrimination.
Another type of abuse is financial. Every year some adults have their property, funds and resources stolen or they are defrauded, and generally they know the person doing this.
You can pick up leaflets from West Sussex Libraries with more information on what we do.
The adult safeguarding pages on the county council website have information including a guide on what to do if someone is suspected of being abused, information on the county council's Adult Safeguarding Unit and what it does and an alert form people can use if they suspect someone is at risk of abuse.
If you have any concerns about your own safety or someone you know who is elderly or who may not be able to protect themselves from abuse, or want more information call the county council's Adults' CarePoint on 01243 642121.

No Brainers: Michael Vick and Kyle Orton
Matthew Stafford, Lions
Stafford wasted no time in returning to fantasy prominence. After missing five games with an injured shoulder, he returned Sunday and tossed four touchdowns with 212 yards passing. Detroit's offense is flying high with Calvin Johnson developing into the NFL's top receiver and Brandon Pettigrew quietly becoming a top shelf TE. If you could use some depth at QB, acquiring Stafford should be a priority. He's a playable this week against the Jets and is an even stronger option when the Lions face the Bills in two weeks and the Cowboys in three weeks.
Availability: Owned in ~71% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Stafford needs to be owned in all leagues.
David Garrard, Jaguars
Attention owners of Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and Phillip Rivers: You're going to need a bye week replacement for your QB in Week 10. Why not be proactive and grab Jacksonville's David Garrard now? When he returns from his bye, Garrard will face the Texans. Houston has allowed the most fantasy points to QBs and they rank dead last in the NFL in pass defense. Plus, Garrard is coming off a confidence-boosting five-touchdown performance against the Cowboys. He opened the game with 12 straight completions, the best streak of his career.
Availability: Owned in ~28% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Grab Garrard now and stash him for his Week 10 matchup against the Texans.
Josh Freeman, Buccaneers
There aren't many QBs out there who have been more consistent than Josh Freeman. Is he putting up the type of passing numbers that will carry your squad? No, but Freeman has been chipping in a touchdown and 220+ yards practically every week. With a positive matchup this week against the Falcons, Freeman should be on your radar if you need a plug-and-play QB. Atlanta has the sixth worst pass defense in the NFL. Freeman put up three TDs in two games against the Dirty Birds in 2009.
Availability: Owned in ~48% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Freeman is worth a spot start this week against the Falcons.
No Brainers: BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Ricky Williams, Michael Bush, Danny Woodhead and Mike Tolbert
LeGarrette Blount, Buccaneers
The Forecast has called for owners to pick up Blount on a couple of occassions, including last week when he was the top recommendation. If for some reason, he's still out there on your wire, he's a must grab. The undrafted rookie racked up 120 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Cardinals. Each year one or two RBs emerge during the second half of the year and go on a tear. Blount could be that guy. Tampa faces a reasonable schedule to close out the season with favorable matchups against the Falcons (twice), Panthers, Redskins and Lions. They also face the Ravens, 49ers and Seahawks.
Availability: Owned in ~62% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Blount should be owned in all leagues.
Mike Hart, Colts
Hart ran hard Monday night against the Texans, churning out nearly 100 yards on the ground. With Indianapolis starter Joseph Addai injured and backup Donald Brown not fully recovered from a hamstring injury, Hart pounced on the opportunity. Unfortunately, he left the game in the fourth quarter with a twisted ankle. Hart's status is in question. So is Donald Brown's. So is Addai's. Who's left? Javaris James, who is the cousin of former Colt great Edgerrin James, took many of the fourth quarter carries. Keep your eye on the situation. The Colts will likely opt to sign a veteran free agent to block for Manning and carry the ball every once in awhile.
Availability: Owned in ~63% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Hart deserves a roster but only if his ankle injury is minor.
Darren Sproles, Chargers
Sproles has experienced an uptick in value since Malcom Floyd got hurt. After tallying nine receptions for 77 total yards two weeks ago, Sproles posted an identical 77 yards Sunday against the Titans. This time he added a touchdown for good measure. Sproles isn't necessarily a player you want to trust week in and week out but he's passable for the occasional spot start. You have to like his chances this week against a Texans defense that rates at the bottom of the NFL when it comes to defending the pass.
Availability: Owned in ~41% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Sproles is a nice option this week against Houston.
Willis McGahee, Ravens
McGahee is coming off a bye but don't forget about him. He's scored a touchdown in three of Baltimore's last four games. With six teams on bye this week, McGahee could be an adequate stopgap if you're in a pinch. The Ravens will face a capable Miami run defense but McGahee is a threat to score on a goal line plunge regardless of the opponent.
Availability: Owned in ~66% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: McGahee is a decent replacement option almost any week.
Julius Jones, Saints
Saints lead RB Chris Ivory pulled up gimpy with a tight hamstring in Sunday night's loss to the Steelers. The extent of the injury isn't known but with New Orleans on bye in Week 10, it wouldn't be surprising to see Ivory rest this week. If Ivory sits, Julius Jones and Ladell Betts would split the carries. Jones has looked like the better back over the last couple games. He's a sneaky plug-and-play option against the Panthers. Carolina has a middling run defense and the Saints rushed for 121 yards against them earlier this season.
Availability: Owned in ~6% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: If you're desperate for RB help, you could do worse than Jones.
Keiland Williams, Redskins
Forecast favorite Ryan Torain pulled his hamstring in Sunday's loss to the Lions. Washington is on bye this week so we likely won't have a good read on Torain's injury until next week. However, if you're a Torain owner and you are counting on the Redskins RB, it's worth acquiring Williams as insurance. Torain has had durability issues in the past and could be slow to heal. Former starter Clinton Portis is still recovering from a groin tear and could also be a candidate for stashing in deep leagues.
Availability: Owned in ~3% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Williams is a smart pickup for Torain owners.
Chester Taylor, Bears
Chicago head coach Lovie Smith has indicated Chester Taylor will be the team's goal line RB going forward. Most weeks that announcement doesn't mean much. But in Week 9, the Bears will face a woeful Buffalo run defense that is the worst in the NFL, allowing 188.7 rushing yards per game. If you play in a TD-heavy league and need a bye week fill in, roll the dice with Taylor.
Availability: Owned in ~6% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Taylor is a feast or famine type RB this week against the Bills.
Kevin Smith, Lions
Lions second stringer Kevin Smith carried the ball 12 times on Sunday, equal to starter Jahvid Best. The distribution of carries tells us a couple things. First, Smith is healthy. He went down last season with a knee injury that required reconstructive surgery. Second, the team is likely concerned with Jahvid Best's ability to carry the full load. Best is dealing with turf toes (plural) and has an extensive injury history. Given how potent Detroit's offense is right now, Smith is worth stashing. The Lions have a series of advantegeous matchups throughout the remainder of their scheudle. Smith could be a pleasant surprise if he continues to earn more playing time.
Availability: Owned in ~11% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Smith is worth a speculative pickup in deep leagues.
No Brainers: Steve Johnson, Brandon Lloyd and Lance Moore
Mike Sims-Walker, Jaguars
Walker's schizophrenic season was on the upswing in Week 8. He had a career game against the Cowboys, posting eight receptions for 153 yards and a touchdown. The Jaguars are on bye this week so fantasy owners will have to wait until Week 10 to get him in their lineups. The good news is the team will face a generous Texans pass defense. If Sims-Walker is on your wire, don't let the bye discourage you from adding him.
Availability: Owned in ~70% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Sims-Walker should be owned in all leagues.
Steve Breaston, Cardinals
Breaston returned to action on Sunday after spending four weeks in the infirmary with an injured knee. He showed no signs of rust, recording eight catches for 147 yards. Breaston made his biggest impact after starter Max Hall was benched for Derek Anderson. It's unclear who will start for the Cardinals this week. Breaston's rapport with Anderson is undeniable. In Week 1, the duo hooked up for 132 yards. He could turn out to be a decent third WR going forward especially if the team turns back to Anderson.
Availability: Owned in ~52% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Breaston should be rostered in most leagues.
Nate Washington, Titans
Week 7 phenom Kenny Britt went down on Sunday with a hamstring injury. It is reportedly severe and will keep him out for an extended period of time. Nate Washington will become the top target in the offense. Washington caught four passes for 117 yards and a touchdown against the Chargers. Tennessee is off this week but when they return, Washington could be a viable third receiver or flex option.
Availability: Owned in ~34% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Washington is set to become the top target in Tennessee when the Titans return from bye in Week 10.
Sidney Rice, Vikings
Minnesota's release of Randy Moss may signal that Sidney Rice is getting closer to returning to the field. Rice has started jogging with the team and catching passes. He's highly unlikely to return this week against the Cardinals but could make his debut in two or three weeks. If you have a deep roster and you're already in a good position to make the playoffs, Rice is worth stashing.
Availability: Owned in ~48% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Rice is worth grabbing and holding if you're in the playoff mix.
Vincent Jackson, Chargers
Jackson ended his holdout last Friday, reporting to the Chargers and signing his tender. He'll be able to play in Week 12 against the Colts. It goes without saying that Jackson isn't going to help your fantasy team much unless you make it to the postseason. If you're getting close to clinching a playoff berth, stash him on your bench. He could make your strong fantasy team even stronger come playoff time.
Availability: Owned in ~70% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Put in a waiver claim for Jackson if you can stay afloat with dead weight for four weeks.
Mario Manningham, Giants
Manningham is coming off a bye but he has scored in two straight games. His most recent score came against the Cowboys on a sick catch-and-run play in which he juked two defenders before sprinting to the endzone. Manningham has the explosiveness to make an impact on any week. The only problem is he's the third receiver and can completely disappear, as he did in Weeks 4-5. With a matchup this week against the Seahawks, Manningham is worth a spot start. Seattle has the fourth worst pass defense in the NFL.
Availability: Owned in ~53% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Manningham is a smart spot starter against the Seahawks.
Brandon Tate, Patriots
When New England traded Randy Moss, Tate become the hot pickup. He didn't make much of an impact initially but broke loose for a 65-yard touchdown on Sunday against the Vikings. He finished with three receptions for 101 yards. Chances are Tate will continue to be a boom-or-bust type player for the rest of the year. Still, this is New England and Tom Brady. If Brady gains some confidence in the speedster as a reliable target, Tate could rise quickly.
Availability: Owned in ~30% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Tate is worth a roster spot as a prospect with upside.
Brandon LaFell, Panthers
LaFell caught four passes for 40 yards and a touchdown against the Rams and has now posted back to back quality fantasy starts. Carolina's offense doesn't inspire a ton of confidence but QB Matt Moore has proven to be capable of propping up WRs with decent quality stats. LaFell is worth keeping an eye on or adding as a prospect in deeper leagues.
Availability: Owned in ~2% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Two useful games in a row make LaFell ownable.
Darrius Heyward-Bey, Raiders
Al Davis had to wait a season and a half, but the first round pick he spent on Darrius Heyward-Bey finally started paying off. DHB recorded his first career 100-yard performance Sunday against the Seahawks. He also scored a touchdown. It's worth noting the team was without their top wideout Louis Murphy who was out with a lung injury. Even so, DHB is worth adding as a speculative prospect who could catch fire. The Raiders are starting to get on a roll, having won three of their last four games.
Availability: Owned in ~4% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Heyward-Bey is worth a look as a bench option in deep leagues or dynasty leagues.
No Brainers: Brandon Pettigrew and Marcedes Lewis (bye)
Jacob Tamme, Colts
Touted here last week, Tamme rewarded owners savvy enough to pick him up with a first quarter touchdown Monday night against the Texans. As the replacement for Dallas Clark, Tamme has the potential to become a top 10 fantasy TE. If this position has been a source of frustration for you in 2010, Tamme should top your waiver priority list.
Availability: Owned in ~43% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Tamme is worth picking up in all TE-mandatory leagues.
Todd Heap, Ravens
Don't sleep on Heap. The veteran TE has scored three touchdowns in his last two games. If he was left on your waiver wire last week because the Ravens were on bye, don't be afraid to dial up his number this time. Heap is a favorite target of Joe Flacco in the redzone. Baltimore will face the Dolphins this week. Miami has been very average against TEs this season.
Availability: Owned in ~59% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Heap is a solid TE, especially in non-PPR leagues.
No Brainers: Dan Carpenter, David Akers and Sebastian Janikowski
Kris Brown, Chargers
Brown has filled in capably for the injured Nate Kaeding. He's connected on multiple field goals in each of the last two games. The Chargers face a Texans defense against whom they should have no trouble moving the football. Be sure to check Kaeding's status this week. Whichever San Diego kicker gets the start is worth owning and playing. Both kickers are widely available in fantasy leagues.
Availability: Owned in ~4% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Brown is a lock for 8-10 points if he plays.
Robbie Gould, Bears
If your regular kicker is on bye, you could do worse than Chicago's Robbie Gould this week. The Bears face a Bills defense that has been extremely generous to kickers this season. Opposing kickers have averaged 11.5 points per game against Buffalo in the last four contests. Chicago's offense has struggled of late but they should be able to move the ball against a weak Buffalo defense.
Availability: Owned in ~40% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Gould is worth a spot start against the Bills.
No Brainers: Green Bay Packers (vs. DAL)
New Orleans Saints
The Saints defense regained some of their swagger Sunday night against the Steelers. They sacked Ben Roethlisberger three times and forced two turnovers while holding Pittsburgh to just 10 points. Look for the New Orleans defense to build on that momentum this week against the Panthers. Carolina QB Matt Moore is a gunslinger who doesn't mind taking chances. The result is a 5:10 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Don't be surprised if the Saints get their first defensive touchdown of the year this week.
Availability: Owned in ~71% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Plug and play the Saints this week against the Panthers.
Buffalo Bills
I know, 100 words ago I just established the Bills defense is weak. However, no QB has been sacked more frequently than Chicago's Jay Cutler. Cutler has been dropped 27 times in six games. He's also thrown seven interceptions and coughed up three fumbles. If your regular defense is on bye or you just need a spark at the position, the Bills will no doubt reward you with a handful of sacks and a turnover or two.
Availability: Owned in ~4% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: It's Buffalo's turn to feast on Jay Cutler; take advantage.

As part of its well-documented global research efforts, Ocean Alliance and R.V. Odyssey were able to draw comparisons between contaminant loads throughout the world's oceans--offering the first truly comprehensive worldwide assessment of the ecotoxicological risks facing humans and other animals that depend on the marine environment for food. R.V. Odyssey will next be gathering samples from the Gulf of Mexico to look at how toxic runoff from hurricanes like Katrina are entering the food chain, while longer-term plans include revisiting some of the hot spots uncovered during the first Voyage of the Odyssey, a global research endeavor highlighted by PBS. "No one punishes an outboard like an oceanographic non-profit that runs programs for literally years at a time," said Iain Kerr, CEO, Ocean Alliance. "The outboard motor has to start every time, it has to have low emissions, and it has to be reliable. We have never been let down by our Honda outboard." "Ocean Alliance recognizes that our success in making the Odyssey one of the most versatile, long-term, offshore research platforms on the high seas is due in large to donations made by companies like Honda," said Casey Clarke, development coordinator, Ocean Alliance.

NAVIGON has updated its Windows Phone apps for both Europe and the US to version 4.6. This latest release takes advantage of text to speech for the app to read out street names to the user. As well as both apps sporting new functionality, the development team has also fixed a number of bugs that were present and has improved stability and performance.
NAVIGON Cockpit is also now available as an in-app purchase. The apps that have been bumped to the latest version were previously updated for Windows Phone 8, but NAVIGON Australia hasn't yet been updated to 4.6 - we're not sure as to when this is expected to roll out. NAVIGON enables Windows Phone owners to make use of rich navigation and downloadable maps.
You can download both NAVIGON apps from the Windows Phone Store for $29.99 (US version) and £51.49 (European version). Do note that NAVIGON Europe contains maps for forty European countries, while the US version spans all fifty States, but not Canada.
Thanks, Charles, for the heads up!

It's not even the end of fall quarter and many MAcc students are already celebrating the end of recruiting season. Recruiting season started on the very first day of orientation, with a special reception held at the 'Shoe (OSU's Football Stadium) at which students had the opportunity to mix and mingle with recruiters and employees of the Big 4 public accounting firms and other regional and local companies. This event was followed by weeks of meet-and-greets, info sessions, pre-nights, first-round interviews on campus, and finally, second-round office interviews in the city where they would be working.
Throughout the first half of the quarter, students had to balance all these different recruiting events on top of a demanding course load and other extracurricular obligations. It was very important to make sure to put in enough face time to get noticed by the target companies. The first major milestones are first round interviews, which all take place within a week of each other. You know it is interview week when your peers come to class in their business suits and fidget nervously with their portfolios in preparation for the 30-minute interview with a recruiter or a partner of the firm. From there comes the sometimes-agonizing wait to hear whether or not you were selected to move on in the process with a second-round interview. Second rounds present another set of hurdles –scheduling travel arrangements to places as far as New York and San Francisco and making sure you don't miss too much class time as a result.
Within a couple of weeks, the last of the second-round interviews will be over, and many students will go home for Thanksgiving with the knowledge that they have secured a job for next fall. All of this recruiting finishes up just in time to spend a few relaxing days at home with family and friends, only to come back at the end of November and start studying for finals! There is always something on the horizon. For those students who were not lucky enough to land a job this fall, there will be many more opportunities in the coming months to find something that appeals to them. All of this speaks to the strength of Fisher's recruiting program: it was one of the main reasons I chose to come to Fisher. To see just how successful MAcc students have been at landing jobs before graduating, take a look at this statistics page.

|Agency Addressed
|Bill Monroe, Director
Division of Accounting & Auditing
Office of Comptroller
By memorandum dated October 20, 1997, we advised that travel agency surcharges may not be paid by State agencies. Some State agencies and travel agencies have expressed concern that a total prohibition against payment of the surcharges may result in less services or poorer quality services. In order to ensure that State agencies obtain necessary travel agency services while not unnecessarily paying the surcharge, pricing and services information should be obtained from multiple travel agencies. If the State agency finds that the best proposal, from a pricing and services standpoint, requires the payment of the surcharge, the additional charge may be paid. State agencies should be prepared to document that reasonable steps were taken to ensure that the best business case was selected. Some State agencies have requested written proposals of prices and services from travel agencies. If additional information is needed, please contact Cheri Greene at (850) 414-7861 (Suncom 994-7861) or Sharon Schrader at (850) 414-7835 (Suncom 994-7835).
