I am extremely pleased with this stand... It is attractive, practical & very sturdy...
I am glad that I chose this product...
Posted by Philip Scarbro on 16th Sep 2016
I'm all about portability. I put two of these in a small checked luggage case with collateral materials, and carried the two 12 inch iPads in my carry-on. All arrived fine. Set up was easy.
Posted by Brittany Knaphus on 30th Aug 2016
I absolutely love my encloz stand! I'm using it as my point of sale system in a coffee shop. I will definitely buy more when we expand our business. I have used other products that were similar in the past and they didn't even compare! Thought out literally thought of everything that I could need! Highly recommend this product!
Posted by Pastor Philip Meek on 30th Aug 2016
It is super! Exactly what we needed!
Posted by Bunches Rockwall on 26th Apr 2016
I love this stand. I have an iPad Pro for my register at my flower shop. The stand works wonderful & looks great! It came quickly with easy set up & im amazed at how sturdy it is-so thankful I don't have to worry about it tipping over. I read reviews on other stands and bought this after much research. So glad I did!
Posted by Unknown on 8th Apr 2016
This product is perfect for what we were looking for. We needed a way to display our products on a stand, allow customers to interact with the iPad, but not walk away from the display with the iPad. This product is well made, with high quality materials, is easy to use, and looks great.
Posted by Rett Jenkins on 1st Apr 2016
I really like the stand for the iPad Pro. It is rugged for store use and protects the iPad well. One thing that should be added is a semi-circle cutout at the top and bottom along the long sides to enable scrolling to check the iPencil battery charge in notifications. It was. An easy fix with a Dremel tool.
Posted by Dan on 17th Feb 2016
I have been using this stand with an iPad Pro at home for a few weeks. To me, it's the perfect way to introduce our toddler to educational games and also FaceTime sessions with family. They can touch and prod the screen and we don't have to worry about them tipping it over or picking it up and trying to carry it around. It is very solid even sitting on carpet and the ball joint allows for great flexibility as our toddler dances around the room for her grandparents on the other end of the line. :)
Posted by Unknown on 5th Feb 2016
Strong durable stand. Easy to use. I use this POS stand for students who come into my office so I can keep track of iPad issues.
Posted by Shawn R on 17th Feb 2015
Bought for home use. Very well made. Sure to have many years of service. Ordering it the way I wanted it was accommodated completely
Thank you

[UG] SIMATIC WinAC RTX F 2009
SIMATIC WinAC RTX F is the fail-safe SIMATIC software controller for PC-based automation and permits both standard and fail-safe control tasks to be performed on the PC. SIMATIC WinAC RTX F permits simple implementation of safety systems on PC-based solutions, and satisfies maximum safety requirements and compliance with relevant standards: EN 954-1 up to Cat. 4, IEC 62061 up to SIL 3, and EN ISO 13849-1 up to PL e.
The fail-safe software controller is particularly suitable for automation tasks in which, in addition to standard and fail-safe control functions, parallel data processing and the integration of the user's own technological functions are to be implemented on one platform and the openness of Windows is to be exploited. To ensure the high performance of the complete system the latest PC technologies such as Dual Core are supported, in which one core is used for Windows applications and the other core exclusively for SIMATIC WinAC RTX F. The integration of C/C programs into the WinAC RTX control program provides access to all hardware and software components of the PC, creating an extremely flexible solution. The performance of WinAC RTX F is limited only by the PC platform used.
Apart from the software-only controller, particularly rugged and ready-to-run embedded bundles are also available, preinstalled with SIMATIC WinAC RTX F and Windows Embedded Standard 2009. Whether on the basis of a modular embedded controller, a DIN rail PC or a Panel PC, the application ultimately determines the choice of hardware to be used. Standardized engineering and the easy portability of the user software between the different solutions also contribute to the overall security of investment and flexibility.

Great product for large breed chewers.
I buy these for my son's pit bulls. They are great for cleaning their teeth. The dogs are nervous chewers and these take several weeks of daily use to wear down. When they get too small for his dogs, he passes them on to the smaller dogs.

From the monumental failure of the initial government website for the federal health insurance marketplace (healthcare.gov) to the looming employer mandate, the Affordable Care Act has garnered its fair share of criticism. Yet, the ACA has withstood numerous legal challenges and changed the face of health care in the United States.
The most important change is perhaps the number of Americans who have enrolled to receive health insurance in the federal and state marketplaces, currently estimated at more than 8 million, along with millions more who are eligible for the expanded Medicaid program enacted by 27 states. These individuals now have the ability to seek medical care at negotiated rates, reducing the likelihood that they will seek health care through a hospital's emergency department or require charity care.
Further, the rules for health insurers have changed dramatically. Individuals cannot be denied coverage because of a preexisting condition. Policies cannot impose annual or lifetime limits and are more comprehensive, with most offering minimum essential health benefits.
Health care delivery and payment models are also changing. The advent of Accountable Care Organizations and the proliferation of "narrow" insurance networks are results of the ACA. Fee for service is making way for bundled payments, requiring providers to adapt to new payment methodologies.
All of this comes at a cost. High wage earners now pay more in Medicare employment taxes. Certain individuals who elect not to buy health insurance will pay penalties next year. Soon, employers of 50 or more will be mandated to offer employees health coverage.
We have witnessed monumental changes since the ACA was enacted four years ago. The next few years promise further evolution for the entire health care industry, from patients to providers, and from private payers to government programs. Hold on, we are only halfway through the ride.

If you can handle military service, the US Navy selected reserves is a good option. In the reserves you can pick and choose your own job offers/ contracts and choose when you want to work. So if you need money you can volunteer to work more, and if you dont need money you just dont volunteer. However, you will have to do one-year-long deployment (likely in a combat zone) every 5 - 10 years so that is something to consider. The downside is that the reserves is best suited for someone who previously served on active duty and achieved a rank of at least E-4. Starting out in the reserves with no experience or rank would suck.
RN/ APRN, CRNA is a good option too. CRNAs get paid out the ass. Work as one for ten years and you can retire for life. However BE WARNED, what those who are recommending RN to you are not telling you is that getting a job as an RN at a hospital is much easier said than done. Due to the influx of recent RN grads over the past few years, RN has gone from being what was arguably the most open field to a relatively closed field. I know many RN grads who cannot find a job because hospitals wont hire them without previous experience. It is kind of like the viscous credit cycle where no one will give you a loan without you first having credit and once you get credit you get a loan, but at a very shitty interest rate.
Another option is you could be come a professional rigger. Get your level one SPRAT and IRATA certifications and go from there. Most climbers would love a rigging job because you get to play with climbing gear and rap down buildings for a living. The downside is that you dont get paid very well until you hit level III and the jobs are a bit far and few in between.

I can tell you what NOT to do.... I found climbing a few months after I *finally* found a job at a BigLaw firm after the 2009 housing market bust... and it's killing me. 70+ hour weeks, 1-2 weeks vacation tops per year (if you make your hours), and I'm thinking about climbing all day.

This is exactly why I'm ecstatic to go back to my job making $40,000 a year as a pilot when I graduate from law school in May. I might not make a ton of money where I'm at, but I can hold an easy 15-16 days off per month at my seniority. I'll take it happily over my colleagues who are either working 80 hours per work or worse, unable to find work at all.

And even if you bust ass pick up a bunch of open shifts to help the department out (10 bed ER) and never call in sick, at the end of the year you get a 1.8% raise LOL! This is the biggest hospital company in the Denver area also BTW. $24/hour is change when you have 50-60k in student debt also...

Denver health does rock! The best level 1 trauma center in the area. Indeed inner city population but so much to learn. I would recommend it to anybody energetic and hungry for knowledge. Not an easy work but great support from doctors being a teaching facility. The work is hard though you guys. I put in 2 years of nights there as a float.

This. I now work remotely as a web developer which has allowed me to move to a place with good climbing. Make my own hours which lets me climb during the week, and have no problem taking off large chunks of time for trips. Last year I skyped in to a meeting with from the Yucca Valley Walmart parking lot, then went and climbed. Did the same thing this winter ice climbing in Ouray and billed some hours from the hotel on my rest days.
The catch: It's hard. Web development requires a lot of up-front time investment and constant learning to keep up with the latest in the industry, but the payout is worth it. You have to like it. As mentioned you don't need a degree (though it can help), just a willingness to grind through the hard initial learning curve. I worked in 9-5 cube land for about 4 years until I got enough experience to freelance. If you go in this direction, be prepared for 5+ years of constant learning and potentially low-paying gigs to get your skills up to snuff. There are also web development specific schools popping up around the country where you can pay a couple Gs for a weeks-long course to get you started. If I were starting now, that's what I would do, followed by building a portfolio of side projects I could show potential employers. The other catch: be prepared to deal with a lot of bullshit getting health insurance if you freelance.

I like the idea of being self employed. Online retail is what is I would consider reasonably viable if you had little in the way of start up funds and didn't want to go back to school. Sell climbing gear, clothes, DVDs, supplements, etc. Amazon or eBay are interesting places to look for retailers who are successful and who you may be able to emulate. There are a lot of blogs and articles on getting started. I've looked at a few and the guy you want to be is Timothy Ferris, the author of The Four Hour Workweek (probably a douche but he's got some good ideas).
Best of luck out there.

grow 10-20 pounds of weed outside somewhere every summer when its too fucking hot to desire climbing rock. The first frost almost always means its time to chop the bitches down and climb, then you have the next 6 months off with a fat savings and very little work .
thats what I'd do if my marriage/family wasnt on the line
other than that being legally self employed is the best answer really, calling in sick is never a problem.

Code monkey is your best bet. A culture that expects shorter term stints on resumes, typically telecommuting isn't a problem, pay is good to excellent, dress code is non existent, etc.
Downside: Isolation/no social component to your workday. Continuing education is a must because tech changes so rapidly. Some 11yo Korean kid can already do the same work, better and faster, for half the pay. Good chance of being obsolete well before it's time to retire. No real job security.
I have a buddy who is a union boilermaker (basically a welder with extra chops). Busts ass durng the work season, which is typically project driven, and then has usually 6-8mo off between projects. He makes VERY good money. He gets plenty of climbing in. Downside for him is limited locations he can live/work.
Most trades type work can be run as small shops, even solo ventures. Resume gaps aren't a big deal. Nobody on a job site gives a shit if you have a degree or where you got it, only how good your skills and work ethic are. My uncle worked in contruction trades all his career, almost always as his own employer with maybe one or two employees. He had a long list of GCs who would call him to sub, to the point he was always turning down work.

- Eventing (http://www.horseforum.com/eventing/)
- - Cci, cic (http://www.horseforum.com/eventing/cci-cic-60552/)
Cci, cic
Obviously, they are two types of upper level competition, but what is the difference between a CIC* and CCI*?
CCI's are 3 days, and CIC's are 1 day's
The # of stars ( * ) indicate the levels. CCI*, CIC**, CCI***, CCI**** etc, etc.
I believe, when you get to 1 star levels, you are riding against eventers from all around the world, any rider of any nationality can compete - that's my understanding, I don't know if it is correct or not.
Oh, okay, that's simple!

Well into Bridget Jones's twenties, the sexual world is her lobster (as Bobby Robson so famously malapropped), but the approach of 30 can seem like the menace of a distant juggernaut coming down the wrong side of a dual carriageway towards her. Yet, for Bridget's older brother Brian, 30 often heralds his period of maximum sexual popularity thanks to money, status and the confidence he once lacked. Just as it was cruel for him to be so powerless in the face of nubility when a teenager - with older, cooler men nicking the girls from his classroom and undergraduate cohort - so now it is cruel for Bridget that her allure is waning and younger women are picking off the few remaining sane, solvent and single men in her social circle.
After 30, a curiously precise inversion has occured in their respective pulling powers. Assuming he is not grossly abnormal, it is now Brian who has by far the greater number of potential sexual partners. Not only will he have good prospects should he pursue women of his own age or older, those in their early twenties or even younger are also a serious possibility if he plays his cards right.
How very different for Bridget. In her late teens and early twenties, nubility meant she was at least in with a chance with pretty much anyone she set her sights on. Increasingly, after the age of 30, with younger men her chances of even one-night stands, let alone the stable relationship she may crave, are terrible - in fact, in a perfect reversal of the statistics, about as poor as Brian's were in his mid-teens of pulling women his own age or older than him.
Worst of all, as her thirties wear on, the number of older men who are available or even quarter-desirable for Bridget shrinks rapidly. Sixty per cent of those who got married stay married, and at best are only good for an affair. Of those who have become divorcees, a gruelly potage of stepchildren, regrets and maritally induced penury do not seem attractive.
But strangest of all for Bridget is something that no one has properly prepared her for. Just as countless impoverished former millionaires and deposed politicians suddenly discover that friends, wives and lovers no longer have time for them, many women are shocked by the extent to which their looks affected others' reactions to them.
A good friend of mine perspicaciously reported the change in her status which accompanied that in her looks: 'Comparing when I was 21 and 41, the amount of attention I attracted when I entered a room was as different as, respectively, a famous actor at the height of their career and an unemployed cleaning lady.
It's a very gradual, very subtle thing, but you slowly realise that a lot of what you thought were authentic responses to "me" as a human being were actually to how I looked.'
Goodness knows how any of this could ever be effectively explained to the young when at school. But it surely should be.
· Next week: male versus female sexual desire in their twenties.

The main homeopathy section may be appropriate if there is substantial original information. Check out the sites there and here to see where it fits best.

GREAT Product 06/04/2014
This review is from: TOPRAM USB 2.0 SD SDHC SDXC High Speed Card Reader R16 support Kingston SanDisk Flash Memory Card
Had this SD card reader just over 1 year as I type this. Used countless times. Nothing but praise for this little device. It probably won't survive a blow with a sledgehammer, but mine is well built and solid.
Other Thoughts:
The SDHC card...just insert it straight and give it a light push and it slides in easily and will almost completely disappear inside and lock securely into place when using the side mounted thumb slider. We have so many spare SDHC cards I use some of our old 8GB SD cards in the same manner as a USB flash drive.
Bottom line...Simple to use, sturdy and works like a champ..AND..you can't beat the price.

Air Force Team Challenge Results | Husky Classic Results
USAF ACADEMY, Colo. - Three 49ers took home top individual honors on Saturday as the Long Beach State indoor track & field team competed at the Air Force Team Challenge at Cadet Field House.
The LBSU men went 2-1 in their quadrangular, defeating Northern Colorado and Wyoming and falling to Wichita State by two points, while the women were 1-2 as they beat Wyoming and lost to No. 23 Wichita State and Northern Colorado.
Freshman Willie Alexander claimed the title in the long jump with a school-record 24-11.25. Alexander also finished fourth in the triple jump with the seventh-best mark in program history (48-03.25).
Senior team captain Michael Vaughan won the triple jump with a personal-record 48-10, which moves him up to No. 5 on the 49er all-time charts.
In other field events, freshman Conner Rouse was LBSU's top finisher in the pole vault as he cleared 16-00.75 to come in sixth. Rouse's mark is tied for ninth in the school record books. Senior Brandon Hierholzer also matched his lifetime best to tie for eighth (16-00.75). Jacob Fraser paced the throwers with a sixth-place showing in the shot put. His toss of 53-08.25 was the eighth-longest in program history.
Freshman Dylan McCloskey led the way on the track with a pair of top-five finishes. McCloskey clocked in at 6.85 seconds to place third in the 60m, and took fourth in the 200m with a time of 21.94. Sophomore Cameron Glasgow also advanced to the finals in the 60m, coming in eighth overall.
Freshman Michael Perez-Rogers was third in the 400m (49.63) and eighth in the 200m (22.25), while junior Koree Hines (5th, 8.18) and freshman Devin Hickey (T7th, 8.23) advanced to the finals of the 60-meter hurdles.
McCloskey and Perez-Rogers were also part of the mile relay squad that finished third in 3 minutes, 22.02 seconds.
Sophomore Emily Cooper led the women with a pair of individual victories in the 60m (7.54) and 200m (24.72). Sophomore Jasmine Askew was Long Beach State's top finisher in the 400m, coming in fifth overall with a time of 58.21. Senior Sara Macey added a 10th-place performance in the 60-meter hurdles.
In the field events, junior Taylor Jackson had a PR off her outdoor best with a leap of 19-01.5 to place third. That mark is second in school history. Junior Iesha Iwobi also finished 10th with a leap of 18-05, which puts her at No. 8 on the 49er all-time charts.
Senior Alexandra Cervantes placed ninth in the weight throw with a personal-record 49-11.75.
SEATTLE, Wash. - After a strong start at the Husky Classic last night, the Long Beach State distance runners continued to post solid numbers with two more marks that rank among the program's all-time top-10 Saturday at Dempsey Indoor.
Junior Meghan Foley started the day with a personal-record 4:56.35 to finish fourth in her section of the mile run. Her time is the seventh-fastest in program history.
Sophomore Chris Enriquez followed with a mark of 8:30.87 in his first-ever 3000m race to sit at No. 7 among the 49er all-time leaders. Enriquez placed 18th in his heat.
Senior Gabe Hilbert also took eighth in Section 5 of the men's 800m, crossing the finish line in 1:55.25, while classmate Matt Maldonado was 16th in the mile (invitational) at 4:01.62.
Long Beach State continues the indoor season next weekend when it heads to Fresno, Calif., for the Run for the Dream meet.

An Acceptable Time
Macmillan, May 1, 2007 - Juvenile Fiction - 373 pages
It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger.
"Wild nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract."
A tesseract (in case the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss L'Engle's unusual book. A Wrinkle in Time, winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular boys in high school). They are in search of Meg's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract problem.

A year and a half after buying the discount chain Kwik Save to double in size, Somerfield said it will sell the business and keep about half of the smaller stores. It also plans to sell up to 140 larger Somerfield outlets in an effort to shore up sales after an 8.1 per cent drop in the second quarter.
Somerfield has struggled since it bought Kwik Save in February 1998 - many stores have proved unsuitable for conversion to the more expensive Somerfield brand. The difficulties were exacerbated when Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, bought Asda in June and began cutting prices.
"The idea of converting Kwik Save stores to Somerfields was simply unacceptable to the consumer," said Ian Macdougall, an analyst at Williams de Broe.
The shares fell 10.6 per cent to close at a new low of 84p. The stock has dropped 79 per cent so far this year and is the worst performing stock this year on the FT-SE 250 index. Its market value has fallen by pounds 1.85bn to about pounds 415m.
The change in strategy to focus on the pounds 30bn UK market for local convenience stores prompted Somerfield's chairman, Andrew Thomas, to quit so that the company could put a new person in charge of the reorganisation.
As part of the new strategy, Somerfield plans to sell 350 Kwik Save stores after failing to integrate them into its name-brand business. It also wants to sell between 100 and 140 Somerfield stores that are over 10,000sq ft. Somerfield will be left with around 850 stores, including 400 Kwik Save outlets earmarked for conversion. So far, 70 Kwik Save stores have been changed to the Somerfield format, and sales at 30 of these have risen 25 per cent on average. The rest have seen sales grow about 16 per cent.

Budapest (the Pest side) is very large but also flat, so very easy to get around on foot. The city itself is full of many, many hundreds of old buildings, with many restored after the bombings of the war. However, while many look superb, many are also showing the signs of neglect and decay with facades just crumbling away. This may well be due to rapid but ...

... move toward the outside of the Parliament building and back over to St. Stephen's Basilica, both of which are the two tallest buildings in the city at exactly 96 meters high. Interestingly, there are two reasons for this. The first is that 896 is the year the cities were founded, and the parliament building was meant to be completed upon the millennium of that date in 1896 (it didn't actually get finished until 1904). ...

On our way back to the hostel we found a curious little pub that had papers, postcards, and notes (among other things) from previous patrons thumb tacked to the ceilings and walls, so we stopped in for some dessert and drinks to top off our relaxation day.

Indonesian Long Pepper
Once hailed by Romans as the ultimate peppery spice, wild long peppers soon disappeared into culinary obscurity with the agricultural domestication of their cousin, the modern peppercorn. Pleasantly hot and more pungent than regular black pepper, our aromatic Javanese Long Pepper is native to Indonesia. Grown year-round, the best long pepper comes from the island of Madura, where the dryness and balanced pH of the soil, along with perfect weather conditions, combine to produce the largest fruits and leaves. As soon as they mature, our long pepper is harvested and immediately sun-dried to capture its unique flavor. The flavor of Long Pepper is deep and complex; simultaneously releasing an earthy pungency, a sweet hint of cardamom and nutmeg. The long peppers look like tiny cattails and once ground, roasted, or simply snapped in two, they release an incredible floral bouquet.

A summer's pride preceded fall
And trails were paved with leaves of gold
Till glassy flakes of silver frost
Fell over fall's inlays of brass
The silver turns to iron bars
And clouds hide stars to steal the way
White sheets blankets sleeping souls
The graying graves of grieving goals
One day light will spring again
And bold sunshine emboss the sky
The blue and gold, for kings of old
Reforged from you and I

The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) is a professional basketball league in the Philippines founded in 1975. It is the first and the oldest professional basketball league in Asia. The league's rules are a hybrid of FIBA's and the NBA's rules.
The league is currently headed by Commissioner Chito Salud.
The Philippine Basketball Association was founded as a "rebellion" of nine teams from the now-defunct Manila Industrial and Commercial Athletic Association (MICAA) which was tightly controlled by the Basketball Association of the Philippines (BAP; now defunct), the then-FIBA recognized national association. With the BAP controlling the MICAA, the league was de jure amateur as players were only paid allowances, much like what was done on other countries to circumvent the amateur requirement, and to play in FIBA-sanctioned tournaments such as the Olympics. With the PBA out of the BAP's control, they can freely pay salaries to their players, hence making the PBA the oldest professional basketball league outside the United States; however this also caused the league's players from being barred from playing in FIBA-sanctioned tournaments.
Leopoldo Prieto, the coach for the Philippines at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics was appointed as the first commissioner and Domingo Itchon of Tanduay was chosen as the league's first president. The first game of the league was held at the Araneta Coliseum on April 9, 1975 featuring Mariwasa-Noritake and Concepcion Carrier.
The league's first 10 years was known for the intense rivalry of the Crispa Redmanizers and the Toyota Tamaraws that is still considered as one of the greatest rivalries in league history with big names such as Robert Jaworski, Ramon Fernandez, Francis Arnaiz, Atoy Co, Bogs Adornado, and Philip Cezar to name a few playing for those squads, before both teams disbanded in 1983 and 1984 respectively.
Following their disbandment, the league moved from the Araneta Coliseum to ULTRA in Pasig. There, the league continued to be popular despite several remnants of Toyota and Crispa players suiting up for different teams.
During the mid to late 80s, Jaworski and Ginebra San Miguel became the league's most popular squad for its "never say die" attitude and had intense rivalries with the Tanduay Rhum Masters of Jaworski's then-arch rival Fernandez, and later the expansion Purefoods Corporation of Alvin Patrimonio, Jerry Codiñera, Jojo Lastimosa and Fernandez.
By the end of the 1980s, San Miguel Beer won numerous championships that included the 1989 Grand Slam under coach Norman Black and former national team stars Samboy Lim and Hector Calma.
In 1989, FIBA voted to allow professionals to play in their sanctioned tournaments, hence the PBA's players are now able to represent the country internationally. In 1990, the league sent its first all-pro squad to the Asian Games finishing a silver medal to China. The PBA would later sent three more all-pro squads in the said event.
The early 90's saw the Ginebra and Shell forming an intense rivalry that included Ginebra's walkout in 1990 finals against Shell and the team's dramatic comeback from a 3-1 deficit to beat Shell in the 1991 Open Conference while Patrimonio, Allan Caidic, and a host of others became the league's main attraction.
By 1993, the league moved to the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay City and later saw the Alaska Milkmen win the 1996 grand slam and nine titles in the decade.
From 1999-2000, the PBA suffered a controversy after several expatriate cagers arrived on the scene (such as Asi Taulava, Danny Seigle and Eric Menk) and their lineage were questionable with most of the them deported for falsifying documents.
The arrival of dozens of these players was a counter to the fledging Metropolitan Basketball Association, a regional-based pro league formed in 1998. But, the said league eventually folded as expenses and ABS-CBN's abandonment in 2001 led to their demise a year later.
Despite the MBA's disbandment, and the arrival of those players to the PBA, attendance went sour and turned from bad to worst after a huge decline in 2003.
However, the league was able to gain some popularity by 2004, thanks in large part to Barangay Ginebra's run through three PBA championships led by Menk and Mark Caguioa, other marketing aspects and arrival of collegiate stars from the UAAP and the NCAA.
By 2005 the league became active in the national team role under Chot Reyes even when FIBA lifted the suspension of the country following the formation of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas despite a ninth place finish in the 2007 FIBA Asia Championship.
Season format
One constant feature in the PBA is that unlike other leagues, there is no "season champion;" instead, the season is divided into conferences or tournaments (not to be confused with the definition of a "conference" in a sporting context as a grouping of teams based on geography or historical affiliation) wherein the teams compete for the conference cup. The winners of the conference cups do not face each other at the end of the season to determine the season; instead all conference champions are league champions, but winning the All-Filipino conference is the most prestigious conference in a year.
From 1975-2003, a season was usually composed of three conferences. From the 1993 season, the conferences were named All-Filipino, Commissioner's and Governors Cups, usually ending in a best-of-7 Finals series match wherein the winner takes the Conference Cup. If the same team wins all of the conferences, the team is said to be the "Grand Slam" champion. A draft was held on January.
In 2004, then-commissioner Noli Eala introduced drastic changes to the season calendar. He reduced the number of conferences from three to two and changed the start of the season from February to October so that the league can accommodate international tournaments that were frequently held from June to September. Another reason for the change in schedule was the popularity of college hoops, the NCAA and the UAAP, whose basketball season runs from June to October each year.
The first tournament is the Philippine Cup, which is held from October to February the following year, where only locals are allowed to play. The second tournament is the Fiesta Conference, held from March to July, teams are allowed to field one foreign player called an "import". The Philippine Cup is identical to the All-Filipino Conference of the previous seasons. The rookie draft is now usually held every August.
All franchises are owned by corporations, and are not based on a geographic locale, therefore they do not play in a "home stadium" and the league per se rents the different stadiums in which the teams play.
A team's name is often divided into three parts; the first is the company name, then the product (can be omitted or merged with the next part), and a nickname - usually connected to the business of the company. For example, the San Miguel Beermen is a team owned by San Miguel Corporation, with the "beermen" nickname denoting the San Miguel Beer product.
The company name rarely changes - it can only change if the franchise is sold or if the mother company transfers the operations of the franchise into another subsidiary. The product name and the nickname often changes, as companies would maximize the publicity the league gives to its products.
Current teams
- Notes
- (♯) - Denotes a San Miguel Corporation subsidiary.
- (°) - Denotes an MVP group subsidiary.
- (**) - The San Miguel Beermen took a leave of absence from the first two conferences of the 1986 season.
Defunct and guest teams
The most prominent defunct teams are the Crispa Redmanizers and the Toyota Super Corollas.
Among guest teams, most notable was the American Nicholas Stoodley team that won the 1980 Invitational Conference.
The PBA has a hybrid of FIBA and NBA rules:<ref>Exec: New rules to make PBA games more exciting. Retrieved on September 20, 2009</ref>
- A game consists of four 12-minute quarters, the NBA standard.
- The three-point line's distance is set back to 6.75 m (22.1 feet), which will be FIBA's three-point distance for international competitions after 2010 and all other competitions from 2012. The line was previously 6.25 m (20.6) feet away from the basket, which was FIBA's former three-point distance.
- The "key" is now a rectangle as in the NBA. It was previously the FIBA standard trapezoid key. FIBA will adopt the NBA rectangular key at the same time it moves its three-point line.
- Post up players can now muscle their way into the basket without automatically getting a foul called.
- A player can now hang on the rim after a dunk without getting called for a technical foul.
- Zone defenses are allowed, the FIBA standard, although illegal defense was implemented before.
- A team enters the penalty situation after the fifth foul in a quarter, each successive foul thereafter entitles the fouled player two free-throw attempts. However, in the last two minutes of regulation, both teams are only allowed one foul to give considering the team is not yet in penalty, as in NBA rules. Team fouls and penalty situations carry over in overtime periods whenever applicable.
- Newcomers enter the league via a draft.
- Only Filipinos are allowed to play in every conference; non-Filipinos can play as "imports", and only in certain conferences. Currently the Fiesta Conference limits imports of one per team.
The PBA has also other different rules:
- The league implements the Trent Tucker Rule.
- In the league, there is a foul called an advantage foul, which is similar to the "unsportsmanlike foul" of FIBA rules. This is called when the offensive player is fouled by an opposing player while in a fastbreak situation without going for the ball. The offensive players team will be given two free throws and will regain the ball.
Key Figures
- Leopoldo Prieto (1975-1983)
- Col. Mariano Yenko (1983-1987)

Most of the league's present star players are also members of Philippine national team. Within a 30-year historical period, Filipino basketball fans have seen the likes of Samboy Lim, Allan Caidic, Hector Calma, Ramon Fernandez, Robert Jaworski, Benjie Paras, Ronnie Magsanoc, Alvin Patrimonio, Vergel Meneses, Johnny Abarrientos and Danny Ildefonso take centerstage. Ramon Fernandez and Alvin Patrimonio are prominent names, as they are the only players to win four Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards.
On the other hand, Benjie Paras was the first and only player to win the league Rookie of the Year and MVP award at the same time(1989). Vergel Meneses is the only player to win four All-Star MVP awards while Danny Ildefonso is the only player to have won five Philippine Basketball Association Best Player of the Conference Awards.
The league awards the MVP award since 1975 and the Rookie of the Year award since 1976. Other lesser awards are handed out at the end of the season; the Best Player and Best Import of the Conference awards are handed out at the end of the conferences.
PBA champions
The San Miguel Beermen currently is the winningest team, with 18 championships followed by Alaska Aces with 12 crowns. Among disbanded teams, the Crispa Redmanizers have the most championships, with 13, while rival Toyota Super Corollas ended with nine.
The Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters won the 2008-09 PBA Philippine Cup, their 3rd championship, while the San Miguel Beermen won the 2009 PBA Fiesta Conference, their 18th championship.
PBA Records and Clubs
There are all time records written in Philippine Basketball Association records and there are clubs a player can accomplished such as PBA 2,000 Assists Club, 15,000 Point Club, PBA 10,000 Point Club, PBA 5,000 point club, PBA 500 Three-Point Club.
Team encounters are a natural phenomenon in the PBA, and this sometimes results in soaring ticket sales. The most famous matchup was the Crispa-Toyota rivalry of the 1970s. Fans faithfully supported their favorite squads, and had appeared in the multitudes at the Araneta Coliseum, or wherever the archrivals had met. In those days, the players were very passionate. On one occasion, they had engaged in a major brawl. Players from both clubs were arrested and detained for one night in jail.
Other famous contests include:
- Crispa vs Toyota
- Ginebra vs Purefoods (late-1980s rivalry, both are now sister teams)

2010 Buick Lucerne RecallsIgnition Lock Cylinder Concern
Excess weight on the key ring can cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position without warning, turning off the engine. This defect can also affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. Dealers will install two 13mm key rings and key insert into the vehicle's ignition keys to correct this concern.
General Motors is recalling 2010–2011 DTS and Buick Lucerne models with V8 engines due to contact between the starter/alternator cable and the power steering return line. This can result in a worn power steering return line, which can cause a power steering leak, possibly resulting in a loss of power steering. This can lead to an increase in the risk of a crash and/or an engine compartment fire. Dealers will secure or reroute the necessary lines, free of charge.

Playing the CRM Odds
There are all kinds of competitive-edge technologies being deployed by businesses today.There are all kinds of competitive-edge technologies being deployed by businesses today. Many technologies — such as Web–based supply chain management software, which we wrote about last week — may be difficult to deploy. But hard-pressed companies have beaten the odds and successfully implemented SCM systems. Then there are other technologies — such as some new forms of virtual private networks, which we explore in this weeks issue — that are turning out to be, shall we say, works in progress. To avoid making big, costly mistakes, I-managers, like good baseball managers, often play the percentages when deciding which move to make. Except when it comes to customer relationship management. Here, I-managers are moving ahead — damn the percentages. Check out these numbers: Several market researchers say that more than 50 percent of all CRM deployments dont meet their objectives. Even if a CRM project isnt a complete bust, Gartner estimates that as many as 60 percent of these installations fail to meet their goals. And with many multinationals looking to CRM, its interesting to note that analysts say there are few, if any, successful global implementations.
CRM systems fail for any number of reasons: Lack of management or user buy-in and the complexity of tying in all the back-end systems needed to make a CRM system work are usually cited as the two biggest.

While the booming stock market has fattened the bottom lines of asset management companies, it is mutual fund distributors who are actually laughing all the way to the bank.
Bizzare as it may sound, an ET - Boston Consulting Group study has revealed that mutual fund distributors put together made more money by hawking various schemes to investors than the mutual fund houses, which managed funds for investors. As per ET-BCG estimates, mutual fund distributors earned more than Rs 4,000 crore in FY07, while AMCs put together earned between Rs 2,100 and Rs 2,500 crore as revenues only. Roughly speaking, of the total revenue pie of the mutual fund industry, the lion's share of 60% went to MF distributors and the remaining 40% to AMCs.
Distributors selling MFs get a commission every time you put money in a new fund offer, invest in an existing scheme or even stay invested in a scheme that you invested before. With AMCs trying to outdo each other in terms of assets under management, distributors have become a pampered lot.
"It is a myth that distributors in India get paid more than what they deserve," says Rajeev Bajaj, MD, Bajaj Capital, one of the largest national-level distributors in India. "As a matter of fact, they should get a higher share of the revenue as the technology penetration in the country is very low and costs of distribution very high," he adds. He points out that margins in this business are constantly under pressure as manpower and infrastructure costs are shooting through the roof.
However, not everybody is willing to buy that argument. Alpesh Shah, partner at BCG and one of the authors of the study says profits of MF distributors are expected to be much higher, thanks to its lower cost structures than fund companies. He calculates that if fund companies put together made Rs 1,000 crore of profits, it could be easily around Rs 1,500 or even higher for distributors. According to industry sources, banks such as ICICI Bank, Citibank, HSBC, HDFC and Stanchart are among the top mutual fund distributors and are known to earn at least Rs 200 crore of revenue annually. Over the years, MF distributors have been raking in the moolah by asking investors to move from their existing MF (in the guise of profit-booking) to equity NFOs. This has worked to their benefit since the commissions are highest during NFOs. However, this meant that holding period for investors has come down drastically.
The study estimates that the average holding period for an equity MF India has come down to around 14 months (approximately 3-5 years in the US). This trend, although beneficial to distributors, is hurting fund companies.
Says Fidelity India head Ashu Suyash, "AMCs typically start making money once the average holding period starts going beyond three years. But with the average holding period of a mutual fund scheme falling below a year, it is a fact that MF distributors make more than mutual funds themselves".
Sundaram BNP Paribas Mutual Fund chief investment officer Prasad Nalam thinks that mutual fund distributors should not be singled out for blame.
"Take any industry — pharma, FMCG or any other — distributors always make a clean buck because they have to spend very little out of their commissions," he says. As for agents who sell mutual funds at various places, he feels that the majority of them are still young. He feels that as the industry matures, distribution standards would go up gradually.
By the way, if you wait for some more years, there is a good chance that AMCs and distributors would also get listed. Investing in the shares of these companies could be a smarter option than investing in MF schemes.
