Smith untouchable in Class A debut
Royals prospect hurls six hitless innings for Kane County
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | June 24, 2012 3:59 PM ET
He's apparently no worse for wear.
The Royals prospect pitched six hitless innings in his Midwest League debut Sunday afternoon as the Class A Kane County Cougars edged the Clinton LumberKings, 4-3.
Smith faced one batter over the minimum in his second outing since the Royals selected him in the fourth round of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft. He retired his final 16 batters before turning over a 3-0 lead -- and a no-hitter -- to his bullpen.
"I didn't realize until after I had come out of the game and I was talking with people and looked up at the scoreboard," Smith said of the no-no. "I looked up to see the counts, but then I would focus on each pitch. I would have liked to stay in the game, but the coaches had a game plan.
"The last time I threw a no-hitter was my last year in high school in my first district game against Atlantic Community High School."
The only LumberKing to reach base against Smith was Nathan Melendres, who drew a one-out walk in the bottom of the first but was promptly erased when Ji-Man Choi lined into an inning-ending double play.
The 19-year-old right-hander struck out six batters and induced four ground-ball outs.
"I would say I got locked in after the third inning," he said. "I was throwing my fastball to both sides of the plate and establishing dominance with my fastball, which allowed me to use my other pitches.
"I throw a fastball, a breaking ball and a change. My curveball is one of my better pitches, maybe average to above-average. The changeup is still a work-in-progress."
Smith started the season in extended spring training in Arizona, then reported to Rookie-level Idaho Falls at the beginning of the week. In his pro debut on Tuesday, he struck out 11 and gave up one run on three hits over five innings. Then he joined his team in Clinton for the three-game series with LumberKings.
"I got to Clinton on Thursday night. It's a big jump, but I want to continue establishing the fastball as a weapon and throwing the breaking ball for strikes," Smith said.
"I have confidence throwing all of my pitches, now I just need to throw them more consistently. I want to be able to set up the breaking ball by throwing the fastball to both sides of the plate."
So far, the Florida native has had little difficulty making the transition from high school ball to the pros.
"I would say this is even more surreal than my first game. I had a good feel for my pitches in Idaho, but to move up and get six no-hit innings against these good hitters is surreal," said Smith, who turned down an opportunity to play baseball at the University of Florida.
"I was just trying to help my team get the 'W' and keep them close. It just happened to be with no hits. The University of Florida is a great school and I would have learned a lot there, but there is also a lot to learn about pro ball."
Jason Mitchell (2-4) allowed three runs on four hits over three innings, depriving Smith of the chance to record the win.
Kane County's Julio Aparicio, who delivered a two-run single in the sixth, homered to snap a 3-3 tie in the ninth.

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College women's soccer team fell behind early and was unable to rebound to defeat the visiting Eagles of Carson-Newman. The final tally was 6-1 in the match, as Brevard falls to 3-11-1 on the season and 1-6 in South Atlantic Conference matches this season.
Morgan Gruenenfelder scored the first goal of the match at the 6:18 mark when she beat the defense off of a pass from Haley Julian, giving her a breakaway. She was able to put it past the Brevard keeper giving the Eagles an early 1-0 lead.
Julian was able to find the net herself as well when she took a shot the floated through the air just out of reach of the keeper at 34:09, which put Carson-Newman on top 2-0. Maleya Garrison added the Eagles third and final goal of the half when she found the back of the goal with just under six minutes remaining in the half. The score remained 3-0 as it went into half-time.
The Tornados came out flying in the second half and were able to score in the first three minutes as Bailey Varley (Concord, N.C.) took a cross pass from Elena Crowe (Candler, N.C.) in the box and beat the Carson-Newman keeper making it 3-1. It was Varley's fourth goal of the year.
The Eagles were able to return-fire, however with three more goals in the second half. Andrea Saevik was able to put one in on a direct kick from 20 yards out. Tremma Howell scored the final two goals that put Carson-Newman up 6-1, which was the final tally in the match.
Brittany Webster (Stafford, Va.) started the match for Brevard and was showered by 12 shots in the first half before being relieved by Crissy Moran (Franklin County, Va.) in the second half. Moran was pelted by 16 shots in the final 45 minutes of play.
The Tornados were outshot 28-14 and were awarded with just two corners while Carson-Newman took eight of their own.
The Brevard women will take the field again on Saturday, October 23rd when they play host to the Wolves of Newberry. It is senior day for the women as they play in their final home contest of the 2010 season at 1 p.m. at the Brevard College Soccer Field.

Photo Galleries: The 2013 NBA draft
NEW YORK >> Anthony Bennett became the first Canadian No. 1 overall pick, and Nerlens Noel tumbled out of the top five and right into a trade in a surprising start to an unsettled NBA draft.
One of the favorites to be taken first Thursday night, Noel fell to No. 6, where the New Orleans Pelicans took him and then dealt his rights to the Philadelphia 76ers for a package headlined by All-Star guard Jrue Holiday, according to a person familiar with the details.
Those were just a couple of the surprises on a night filled with them. The other one involved Boston and Brooklyn
Two-thirds of the Celtics' former Big Three, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, are Brooklyn-bound after a trade that came toether during the draft.
In a bold blockbuster move that should shake up the Eastern Conference landscape, the Nets landed Garnett and Pierce, a league source confirmed Thursday night.
The deal reportedly sends Kris Humphries, Gerald Wallace, Reggie Evans, Keith Bogans and three first-round picks scattered over the next five years to the Celtics, who will also give the Nets guard Jason Terry.
The complex deal, which picked up considerable steam throughout the day, required Garnett to waive his no-trade clause, which sources said he eventually did.
The deal couldn't become official until July 10, when the NBA's moratorium on player transactions is waived. The Nets reportedly would send their first-round picks in 2014, 2016 and 2018 to Boston, helping the Celtics in their full-blown rebuilding efforts.
Terry's inclusion is to reportedly aid in offsetting concerns the Celtics have about taking on Wallace's hefty salary, and he'd give the Nets some scoring punch off the bench. Wallace has three years and $30 million left on his contract. His production dipped dramatically in his first full season with the Nets, and he said that he lost his confidence and wasn't sure what his role on the team was.
Meanwhile, in the draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers started things by passing on centers Noel and Alex Len, who went to Phoenix at No. 5, in favor of Bennett, the UNLV freshman forward who starred for Canada's junior national teams and was the Mountain West Conference freshman of the year.
"I'm just as surprised as anyone else," Bennett said.
There was suspense right until the end, either because the Cavs were unsure who they wanted or were trying to trade the pick. Most predictions had them taking one of the big men, with Noel largely considered the favorite for the No. 1 choice even after a torn ACL that ended his lone season at Kentucky in February.
"I thought everything was in the air, so I wasn't thinking I was the No. 1 pick," Noel said.
David Stern, booed heavily in his final draft as commissioner, added to the surprise of the moment by pausing slightly before announcing the Cavs' pick, their first at No. 1 since taking All-Star Kyrie Irving in 2011.
Orlando passed on both of the big men, too, going with Indiana swingman Victor Oladipo with the No. 2 pick. Washington took Otto Porter Jr. with the third pick, keeping the Georgetown star in town.
Ten years after the Cavaliers selected LeBron James to start a draft that included future NBA championship teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in the top five, this one lacked star power and perhaps even the promise of stardom.
Bennett, Noel and Len are all coming off injuries and couldn't even work out for teams, but the Cavs decided Bennett's shoulder surgery wasn't enough cause for concern.
Len walked up to meet Stern and collect his orange Suns hat, then sat down near the stage to put on the walking boot he needs for the stress fracture of his left ankle that was discovered after Maryland's season.
Noel finally went to New Orleans with the next pick. He didn't seem upset at his fall down the draft board, hugging his mother and shaking hands with Kentucky coach John Calipari.
It was a good start to the night for the Hoosiers, with Cody Zeller going to the Charlotte Bobcats two places after Oladipo.
Kansas guard Ben McLemore, another player who was considered a potential top-three pick, also dropped, going seventh to Sacramento.
Headed by a lackluster class, the draft promised confusion and second-guessing, with no consensus No. 1 pick and little agreement among the order of the top five.
The guys coming into the league were glad for the attention they did finally get once their names were called.
"It's like a weight vest you took off after running five miles," Oladipo said. "It's relaxing, man. But at the same time, you know it's just getting started."
National player of the year Trey Burke of Michigan also was traded, the Minnesota Timberwolves sending his rights to Utah for the rights to Shabazz Muhammad and Gorgui Dieng, the Nos. 14 and 21 picks.
Lehigh's C.J. McCollum rounded out the top 10 by going to Portland.
Stern, retiring in February, seemed to play up the boos, which turned to cheers after every pick, fans perhaps as puzzled as some of the players at the names they were hearing.
"I was just kidding my agent because he didn't bail me out," Zeller said. "He didn't tell me. I didn't know until David Stern announced it. It's a crazy process not knowing, but I'm definitely excited that I ended up with the Bobcats."
Other players couldn't get too excited about their new addresses, because they changed quickly.
Stern was announcing deals by the middle of the first round and they promised to keep coming after he called it a night and turned things over to Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver for the final 30 picks.
The flurry of trades wasn't surprising with so much uncertainty surrounding this class and so much hope in other areas. Teams such as Houston, Dallas and Atlanta already have an eye on Howard's future, needing to have necessary salary cap space to offer a maximum contract that could lure him away from Los Angeles.
The 2014 class -- which could be topped by a second straight Canadian in incoming Kansas freshman Andrew Wiggins -- will be higher regarded than this one, with James perhaps heading the available free agents to follow.
Local fans seemed pleased with their picks, cheering loudly when the Nets took Duke forward Mason Plumlee at No. 22 and the New York Knicks grabbed Michigan's Tim Hardaway Jr. two picks later.
Stern made his final pick to close the first round to cheers of "David! David!" then was greeted on stage by a surprise guest. Hakeem Olajuwon, the No. 1 pick in 1984 to start Stern's first draft, hugged the commissioner and said some words to the audience.

Mario Voce has a small frame. It's trim, no excess baggage. But when he speaks, people listen.
There's really no choice. Voce's voice carries authority - as it did during a recent meeting of the Environmental Quality Control Board, which he chairs.
At the meeting, Voce - whose name in Italian means voice - hammered away at an environmental impact review of a pending project. But he saved some of his salvos for another pet peeve: fencing around vacated lots.
In Seal Beach, there are only a few fences - including one at Main Street and Pacific Coast Highway, another at Fifth Street and PCH and a third at First Street and Marina Drive.
The three have had fencing for years.
It's an eyesore, Voce emphasized, his voice growing stronger in the emotional moment. The fencing spelled blight, he insisted.
Whether one agrees, it is clear Voce cares strongly about Seal Beach.
Voce's frustration over the fencing is linked to his belief that little can be done, although he wishes the city would put limits on fencing.
"Now, they're there indefinitely," he said Wednesday outside the fence at Main and PCH. "They're there - on, on and on."
Over the past two decades, Voce has been appointed to the Environmental Quality Control Board by three council members: Gwen Forsythe, Paul Yost and Gordon Shanks.
Born in Philadelphia in 1954, Voce arrived in the Southland in 1960. He attended Loyola Marymount University, but earned his bachelor's degree in illustration and graphic design from Cal State Long Beach in 1978.
Voce has lived in Seal Beach since 1979. He's been married to Nancy since 1984, and they've raised a daughter, Celeste.
Voce acknowledges the fact - or possibility - that not many residents in Seal Beach are aware of the EQCB, but he takes satisfaction that the board's hearings catch the attention of City Hall.
The board reviews environmental impacts of projects that affect Seal Beach, serving an advisory role to the council.
"The City Council listens to us as a board," he said.
Caution on the coast
The Huntington Beach City Council recently adopted a resolution proclaiming National Beach Safety Week for May 21-28.
The resolution, however, is tailored for all coastal zones.
In Huntington Beach, a 9-mile coastline attracts over 10 million people annually.
Over 6,000 of these visitors are rescued from the surf by the city's ocean lifeguards, according to the resolution.
In spite of the lifeguards' efforts, many people drown due to a lack of proper beach safety practices, the resolution emphasized.
Fireworks in Surf City
For the first time in many years, Huntington Beach is allowing the use of "Safe and Sane" fireworks within city limits.
A municipal ordinance was adopted recently that outlines how, when, where and who can sell the fireworks.
This year, there will be a maximum of 10 booths in the city selling fireworks.
Los Al swimmer breaks her record
Los Alamitos High School senior Jessica Mosbaugh recently broke her own Seal Beach Swim Club 200-yard breast stroke record.
She broke the record with a 2:24.71 speed as a finalist at the 2012 Junior Olympics.
Mosbaugh is also a four-year varsity high school swimmer. She has signed a national letter of intent to swim for Pepperdine University this fall.

Ha! I asked Ryan Petrich if he could add the Activator function to 'Swipe Up from Bottom' so we could activate Notification Center and he just updated it!!!
I was trying to do uibuttons or switches and I can't even do that right.
I found a bitesms theme
Cydia source is www.iphone-legende.myrepospace.com
So, I figured out the font file used in those areas is the same font file I edited to theme the Calendar Icon (FONT06.ttf inside HelveticaNeue.ttc). The program I'm using doesn't allow color changing not have I had any luck finding a program that'll edit .ttf font colors.
Apple obviously uses this font in several aspects of the UI and they have specific colors assigned to these locations. I'm thinking each location has a title and if we can figure out what that title is, then we can Winterboard theme the color
Wait till someone makes a dreamboard theme to mimick ios7

Roland Mouret Spring 2012
To the strains of Nino Rota, and Yves Montand crooning "Cartes Postales," Roland Mouret sent out a collection suffused with the spirit of the Mediterranean and the islands of the Aegean. There was a wink to those protective Greek eyes that hang as talismans in island homes in the giant felt cutout embroidered eyes Mouret placed to flash a slither of flesh at the midriff or enliven a linen pencil skirt. Translucent gauzy silks also suggested the body beneath in the femme fatale mood of the season.
But Mouret also cited the "kind of thing your mother or grandmother would show you about craft," which found expression in loving-hands-at-home touches such as the kind of rickrack found in an old-fashioned sewing kit blown up large and used as an inset; the wide grosgrain ribbon swagged like party bunting to weight the hem of a skirt; and the tulip appliqués, which gave a naïve charm to the slinky dresses Mouret cuts with such mastery.
Stretch ribbon bandages of the kind that Hervé Léger made his signature in the eighties were used ingeniously for little brassiere tops that were folded and layered to give every woman Gina Lollobrigida curves—gauze ribbons were used for subtler bra tops that peeked from under jackets.
Mouret's dazzling new fashion house in the heart of London's Mayfair has provided him with the perfect showcase as well as the opportunity to work one-on-one with his devoted clients, and this seems to have informed the broad sweep of his show. For not only were there those figure-flattering little dresses with a fifties Ava Gardner flavor, which looked just right for a dash to the flower market in Nice or a breezily chic cocktail in a Greek chora, but Mouret also translated his drapery techniques into unlined jackets and coats with broad shoulders, accented in contrast fabrics and worn with billowing pants or drawstring shorts, which were infused with a modern, sporty elegance.

Talk:1088: Five Years
- So is the interviewer dead?!?! Tebow Time, Twice a Day. 17:11, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
I think the comic invokes additional satire on the length of 'the standard interview', and the time wasted in adhering to the template, given that originally, the whole point of an interview was to judge a candidate on a person by person basis - understanding him/her on a human level, and figuring out where the position fit into their "big pictures".
Disagree. I think the comic is simply poking fun at the "Where do you see yourself in ___ years?" question which is very common in job interviews. Instead of speculating on the future, Beret Guy - who has shown himself to be a weird hippyish type with nonstandard approaches to life - decides to wait for the passing of five years in order to find out. There is a secondary joke that, after the five years have passed, he says "I thought so!", implying that at the interview he did indeed speculate on where he would be in five years: still sitting there, not having moved, and waiting for the five years to pass. Very meta. 18.104.22.168 10:50, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
Fridge Horror: Beret Guy and the interviewer must have both sat motionless as spiders crawled on their faces, erecting webs. I can't get the image out of my mind now. :s 22.214.171.124 05:33, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Another reason why biking makes economic sense. A recent study found that for every $1 spent on cycling infrastructure in Portland, $5 is saved on healthcare and fuel costs. Because of this, by 2040, Portland's bikeway investments could in fact save $800 million.
More from a great article by Elly Blue on Grist:
A recent analysis of the health savings resulting from the bicycle infrastructure in Portland, Ore, came up with stunning results. If the city builds out only the infrastructure it currently plans, the researcher found, it will break even by 2015. By 2030, Portland will have saved $800 million — partly in fuel costs but primarily in health care and the value of reduced mortality. For every $1 we spend, $5 is saved.
And that doesn't take into account a multitude of other factors. It's been shown again and again thatthe benefits of bicycling outweigh the risks, that not bicycling is more dangerous in the long run, and that being sedentary is worse for your health than nearly anything else. When kids, particularly, don't get enough physical activity and good food, they are set up for a lifetime of ill health.
Every Wednesday on Ditch Your Car we'll be bringing you just another reason to spend more time on two wheels. Be it a photo, a statistic or an inspirational video, we want to keep reminding you about why riding is great!

Not every car in the LeMay Collection, at America's Car Museum or at the family's Marymount location, is finely polished and fully restored. Some are works in progress or just plain cool the way they are. The 1968 Pontiac Firebird, a two-door convertible, is one of them. The car in the LeMay collection is an unrestored body and has managed to retain its original interior.
The Firebird was built by the Pontiac division of General Motors and shared the platform with its sister model, the Chevrolet Camaro. They came just as the Mercury Cougar entered the market with its shared platform car – the legendary Ford Mustang. It was game on in the world of muscle cars. The six-cylinder Firebird engine has a rare, four-barrel carburetor that was optional for owners who wanted more power, since it kicked with the power of 215 horses, up from the standard 175 horsepower model. The $116 "Sprint package" included a three-speed manual transmission with floor shifting, although a four-speed transmission was added to this car for another $226.
The styling difference from the 1967 to the 1968 model was the addition of federally mandated side marker lights, but both years are considered "first generation" cars. The 1969 model received a major facelift with a new front end design made of an Endura bumper housing the headlights and grilles. The instrument panel and steering wheel were revised. The ignition switch was moved from the dashboard to the steering column as well.
The car would face changes and updates as customer demands and federal safety rules required. The Firebird line came to an end in 2002. The whole Pontiac line would follow eight years later as General Motors remade itself into a smaller company with fewer plants, workers and dealers. The classic 1968 Firebirds now sell for between $15,000 and $30,000 when they are available at auctions.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
Before it was the Comedy Store, this was a club called Ciros. Some say it was Mob-run. Others say illegal abortions were performed at the club on showgirls who worked there. Some say there are bodies buried on the property in the back. Regardless, rational people say they have experienced many strange things, often with witnesses: The sound of footsteps when theres no one around, lights flickering or turning off and on, freezing cold spots in the middle of an otherwise warm room, a white floating apparition in the form of a human figure, a door closing and locking on its own, a white apparition in the form of a man on his knees in front of a desk, shaking and with a look of abject terror on his face. A nattily attired man dressed in 1940s-style clothing appearing and disappearing. Be skeptical if you want, but the Comedy Store is fucking haunted. 8433 Sunset Blvd., W. Hlywd. (323) 650-6268, thecomedystore.com. Todd David Schwartz
Tiki- and Polynesian-themed eateries and bars were once the height of fashion. Today, they are a tragically nigh-extinct breed. (Beloved cocktail shack Tiki-Ti continues to thrive on Sunset by remaining small and retaining demand; even flagship behemoth Trader Vics finally shuttered its legendary Beverly Hills location, though a modern-looking location opened at L.A. Live.) They simply dont make em like Bahooka Family Restaurant anymore, and the city of Rosemead east of downtown along the 10 freeway is a perfect out-of-the-way excursion for a taste of suburban tiki cool. None of the taste treats at Bahooka (which opened in 1967) are going to blow your mind; the big platters of ribs, corn on the cob and coleslaw are tasty if not singular, and the mai tais and scorpion bowls arent as finessed as some. (This grog will get you good and tipsy, though.) Whats brilliant about Bahooka is the atmosphere a dimly lit nautical theme with the classic blowfish-and-glass-floats tiki decor and its famous 100-plus fish tanks, with one separating virtually every table in the house. A real throwback to groovier times. 4501 Rosemead Blvd., Rosemead. (626) 285-1241; bahooka.com. Nicole Campos
Bingo, boy toys, beer and beef, anyone? Hamburger Marys may be the only place on earth where you can enjoy all of these at once. Its Legendary Bingo nights on Wednesdays and Sundays aint your grandmas game scene, but if you took her here, we bet shed never want to leave. Fab prizes, fabber getups and celeb guests calling out numbers make this one a winner whether your card gets filled or not. Other nights, Marys hammy hostess roster features some of the finest drag and trans personalities in town: Calpernia Addams seductive Unreal cabaret show, Saturdays saucy Wendy Ho Ho Show, the big-voiced Boofant Sisters, the rockin vox of Detox on Friday. Marys may be a chain restaurant (the menu is packed with notch-above-TGIFridays artery-clogging fare and monstrous fruity cocktails), but the WeHo location is more club than café: studly waiters and bartenders, pumping dance beats on the speakers, disco balls in the bathroom and the coolest check tray ever: a silver sequined high-heeled shoe. Size 12, natch. 8288 Santa Monica Blvd., W. Hlywd. (323) 654-3800. Lina Lecaro
Its been a long time since comedian Lenny Bruce performed and got arrested on obscenity charges at The Troubadour in 1957, but the West Hollywood live-music venue on Santa Monica Boulevard still packs em in and pours drinks freely with a sense, to quote an old Neil Young song, that its better to burn out than fade away. Patrons and rockers hang out at the wood-paneled bar in front, maybe grab a seat at a black leather booth, and wait their turn to perform or to catch the band in the surprisingly small and intimate showroom. Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young and Stephen Stills made their live debuts at the Troubadour in 1966, and comedy legend Richard Pryor recorded a live album there in 1968. The list of debuts and historic moments is long: Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Neil Young, Elton John, Billy Joel, Randy Newman, Tom Waits, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, Metallica, Guns N Roses, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, Joe Strummer, The Strokes and many others have a connection to this 53-year-old establishment. If theres a Hall of Fame for rock venues, the Troubadour, founded by the late Doug Weston, would be inducted. 9081 Santa Monica Blvd., W. Hlywd. (310) 276-1158, troubadour.com. Patrick Range McDonald
Before indie acts du jour score a headlining spot at Spaceland or the Echo or blog-beloved FYF, youre likely to catch em on Part Time Punks stage, Sundays at the Echo. Five years strong, the live music and DJ dance party from Michael Stock (manning Punks solo since his partner split last year) remains both a big new-band breaker (No Age, Mika Miko, Abe Vigoda, Warpaint, Dum Dum Girls, Yacht, etc., all played PTP when they were unknowns) and one of the best spots to celebrate musical innovators of yore (the Slits, the Chameleons, the Homosexuals, the Nightingales, the Urinals and countless more reunited or re-formed to play here). Tribute nights celebrating better known artists like the Smiths and the Cure bring out new wave/Goth geeks, too. Post-punk, no-wave, Indie-pop essentially the seminal sound swell that emerged from 1978 to1984 is boldly and lovingly put into context here with emerging art-rock and dance acts, a combo that has also made Stocks KXLU radio show shamelessly inspired by John Peels Peel Sessions revered among music heads. Clearly, the appeal of punk you can dance to has gone beyond any one hood or clique or style, and PTP is a big reason why. 1822 Sunset Blvd., Echo Park. parttimepunks.com. Lina Lecaro
Were not gonna bullshit ya. Hop Louie is not a destination for great Chinese food, especially in a city that actually does have great Chinese food. But Hop Louie is an experience, a trip, a cultural artifact. And in the right state of mind, its just plain fun. In the middle of Chinatown since 1941, Hop Louie has atmosphere to spare: a black lacquered-wood bar and formidable hanging-lantern lighting fixtures; a wall of signed celebrity headshots and a cast of eccentric regulars; a bartender whose encyclopedic mixology skills blend with an acidic wit and a comically imposing, multitiered pagoda structure over the entrance, Hop Louie is what you want in a comfortable, old-school, kitschy/loungey Chinese restaurant. Drinks are cheap and strong; the food of the crab rangoon/egg roll/fried rice variety is decent; classic pop oldies fill the jukebox. Not only that, but its got two floors, which means even more Hop Louie. 950 Mei Ling Way, Chinatown. (213) 628-4244. Adam Gropman

Each of those are way up the ladder from who he hooked up with prior to Bridget. I forgot until Tara reminded everyone in an interview Tara gave in Australia today (yesterday there) that right after she split with Carson Daly back in 2002 she had sex with Tom Brady, and it happened more than once. Apparently Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton must not have been available to Tom. Granted, a decade ago Tara was a little more popular and a little less likely to hit the Cannes party circuit trolling for millionaires, but Tara Reid? I wonder if this is something he likes to pretend never existed. Tara also had sex with Kyle Boller who is about more her speed when it comes to career success. Oh, and other football players on her list include Jeremy Shockey.

I have the following two select statements which each return a figure:
SELECT Activities.Activity, COUNT(*) AS Meetings
FROM Activities LEFT OUTER JOIN
Sector ON Activities.AreaID = Sector.ID LEFT OUTER JOIN
Division ON Sector.DivID = Division.ID
WHERE Activities.Activity = 1 AND Activities.AreaLevel = 'Town'
GROUP BY Activities.Activity
SELECT Activities.Activity, COUNT(*) AS Meetings
FROM Activities LEFT OUTER JOIN
Town ON Activities.AreaID = Town.ID LEFT OUTER JOIN
Sector ON Town.SectorID = Sector.ID LEFT OUTER JOIN
Division ON Sector.DivID = Division.ID
WHERE Activities.Activity = 1 AND Activities.AreaLevel = 'Sector'
GROUP BY Activities.Activity
What I what is to join these so it gives me one total figure rather than 2 seperate. I have tried putting one inside the other's FROM Clause but got in a bit of a mess! Any help greatly appreciated!
i notice you are using LEFT OUTER JOINs, but also using COUNT(*) instead of COUNT(Division.ID) to count
could you please verify that the counts you are getting are accurate
if they are, it means that there aren't any divisions that aren't related, so you should be uninf INNER JOINs
The counts I am getting are acurate. Do you mean there are no Divisions which don't relate to a Sector? If so , then this is correct (my sql skills are not very advanced to be honest!)
**Changed it now to use inner joins and Activities.ID and all still works fine
FROM Activities
JOIN Sector
ON Sector.ID = Activities.AreaID
JOIN Division
ON Division.ID = Sector.DivID
WHERE Activities.Activity = 1
AND Activities.AreaLevel = 'Town' ) +
FROM Activities
JOIN Town
ON Town.ID = Activities.AreaID
JOIN Sector
ON Sector.ID = Town.SectorID
JOIN Division
ON Division.ID = Sector.DivID
WHERE Activities.Activity = 1
AND Activities.AreaLevel = 'Sector' ) AS total
A lot simpler than i thought - easy when you know how! What is the benefit of using the inner joins over left out join - they gave the same results?
Can you answer this one as well - how do I get the following to return a single row count of 0 if no rows are found?:
SELECT Status, COUNT(Status) AS PriorityStatusCount
FROM Priorities
GROUP BY Status
Thanks for your help
inner joins can be more efficient than left outer joins when there are no actual outer cases
for your other question, use COALESCE
Thanks Where do I use it - i tried:
SELECT Status, COALESCE(COUNT(Status), 0) AS PriorityStatusCount
cheers again
that's the correct way to use COALESCE...
presumably this did not give you what you wanted?
you'll have to explain more, eh
SELECT Status, COALESCE(COUNT(Status), 0) AS PriorityStatusCount
FROM Priorities INNER JOIN
vStructure ON Priorities.TownID = vStructure.TownID
WHERE vStructure.TownID = ISNULL(@TownID, vStructure.TownID) AND
vStructure.SectorID = ISNULL(@SectorID, vStructure.SectorID) AND
vStructure.DivID = ISNULL(@DivID, vStructure.DivID) AND
Status IN (1,2,3,4)
GROUP BY Status
This should return a count of each of the 4 status types (where each is present) or 1 row with 0
which table is the Status column in? i'm guessing vStructure
thus, use a LEFT OUTER JOIN instead (and fix your WHERE clause to be part of the ON clause)
My bad - it should be Priorities.Status
in that case you'll need a left table which has all statuses
but that's easy to conjure up
SELECT conjure.Status
, COALESCE(COUNT(Priorities.Status),0) AS PriorityStatusCount
FROM ( SELECT 1 AS Status
UNION ALL SELECT 4 ) AS conjure
JOIN Priorities
ON Priorities.Status = conjure.Status
JOIN vStructure
ON vStructure.TownID = Priorities.TownID
AND vStructure.TownID = ISNULL(@TownID, vStructure.TownID)
AND vStructure.SectorID = ISNULL(@SectorID, vStructure.SectorID)
AND vStructure.DivID = ISNULL(@DivID, vStructure.DivID)
BY conjure.Status
Thanks but that doesn't quite work! I get what I expect and am now getting 0 values, butnot matter what variables I plug in a alway get the full count not filtered - any ideas?
not until i understand what you're doing with those variables, and that will require that i understand your table relationships
start 'splainin, lucy...
OK, i'll start with the basics and go from there!
Every Priority is linked to a town, a town linked to a sector and a sector to a division (vStructure is a view joining the town, sector and division info together to save me having to keep doing it :))
I want to be able to able to find a count of each priorities.status for a given area - ie for a town, all the towns in a sector or all the towns within a division.
Does that help (and my name's not Lucy...........actually, you've been so helpful you can call me what you want )
i have two immediate suggestions
if the view contains only inner joins, you're okay using it, otherwise all bets are off
obviously the @TownID and other values are being set by your application language, so you should use your application language to decide which AND condition to include in your query, so leave the ISNULL stuff out
1) it did - now it doesn't 2) Not sure what you mean. As I understand it, my c# code calls the procedure and passes the variable the procedure requires. If I don't want to use the variable I still need to pass a NULL value. How do I get my c# code to decide which AND statements are used in a SQL procedure?
just for my curiosity, could you show the view's source code please
pseudo-code --
@sqlstring = 'SELECT ... 'IF @TownID IS NOT NULL THEN @sqlstring += ' AND townid = @TownID'IF @SectorID IS NOT NULL THEN @sqlstring += ' AND sectorid = @SectorID'IF @DivID IS NOT NULL THEN @sqlstring += ' AND divid = @DivID'EXECUTE @sqlstring
SELECT Div.Name AS DivName, Sector.Name AS SectorName, Town.Name AS TownName, Div.ID AS Div, Sector.ID AS SectorID, Town.ID AS TownID
FROM Town INNER JOIN
Sector ON Town.Sector_ID = Sector.ID INNER JOIN
Div ON Sector.Div_ID = Div.ID
I thought that might be what you meant. We try to avoid adding sql code to our applications where ever possible, preferring to use procedures. This is to allow sql people to work with all neccessary code independantly of app code.

A crowd of about 40 people, most huddled under canopies or umbrellas, turned out on Memorial Day at Rosemary Hill Cemetery in Bronson to pay their respects to those who gave their lives in defense of the United States of America.
As Tropical Depression Beryl sent winds and a steady drizzle, Ivan Chubb, Florida state veterans representative, shepherded the crowd and offered prayers.

Box Score (PDF)
ITHACA, N.Y. - The University of Pennsylvania men's basketball team rode a career-high 29 points from Tony Hicks and a second half emphasis on finding and closing out on Cornell's shooters to come away with a 79-71 victory on Friday night at Newman Arena.
It was an historic night for Hicks, who scored more points than any Penn freshman in a game in more than 20 years. Of course, Hicks might know the guy -- it's his head coach. And he did it in the same town. That's right, Jerome Allen dropped 31 at Cornell on March 7, 1992.
The early portion of the contest was all about Hicks, as the freshman scored at will on a flummoxed Cornell defense. After Devin Cherry gave the Big Red a 3-0 lead, Hicks answered with a triple and then scored at the rim after Miles Cartwright jumped a passing lane and initiated a run-out. Cornell (13-13, 5-4 Ivy) answered back with five straight to take an 8-5 lead, but another Hicks trey knotted the game at 8-8 less than three minutes in.
The only points that came from someone other than Hicks in his red-hot opening sequence was when Jamal Lewis found space in the paint and laid it in for a 10-9 Penn lead. Seven more from Hicks in quick succession gave him 15 points in the first six minutes, already just a single point off his career high.
The Quakers' lead crested at 12 points when Cartwright hit a pair at the charity stripe coming out of a media timeout with 11:43 to play in the half. Cornell came right back at Penn with nine unanswered, six coming from Nolan Cressler on back-to-back 3-pointers that brought a silenced crowd to life. Cameron Gunter came back with a strong move in the post and Greg Louis hit 1-of-2 at the line, but three more Cornell 3-pointers in the space of two minutes gave the Big Red their first lead in more than 11 minutes.
Cressler showed no signs of slowing down as the first half neared a close. The Cornell freshman scored six straight for his team, a run broken only by a Cartwright trey, for a 37-33 edge with three minutes left in the opening stanza. The Big Red lead got as high as six and could have been worse if not for two Louis field goals in the final minute, taking Penn into the locker room down four, 43-39.
Held in check by foul trouble in the first half, Henry Brooks got in on the act with a pair of jumpers to open the second 20 minutes. Thanks to him, the Cornell lead remained only four, 47-43, when Hicks again put the team on his back. Within 90 seconds, that four-point deficit would turn into a 52-47 lead as the Big Red simply could not find a way to slow down the Penn freshman. Given space, he knocked down jumper after jumper. When guarded closely - as he was on the final hoop of the 9-0 run -- he made a back cut to the rim and scored off the dish from a teammate.
A trey from Dominick Scelfo at the 14:32 mark was Cornell's eighth make from deep on the night, but it would also be the last until less than four minutes remained. Penn's lead was 56-51 when Patrick Lucas-Perry entered the game and provided the kind of instant offense he's become known for this season, scoring eight points in a row for the Quakers, by which time the advantage had grown to 64-55. A Hicks three would make the lead double-digits for the first time since early on in the game, 67-56.
Cornell pulled as close as six, 69-63, with 3:45 to play off a triple from Cherry, but Cartwright was there to answer him from way downtown -- his 1,000th career point at Penn --again giving Penn a comfortable margin as the clock continued to play against the Big Red. Neither team would score for nearly two minutes, but when Camryn Crocker ducked into the lane and converted a tough finish while being fouled the game was pretty much decided, as the Quakers led 75-63 with just a minute-and-a-half to go. Four free throws in the final 40 seconds from Cartwright and Hicks sealed the gutsy road win.
Hicks' 29 points nearly doubled his previous career high of 16, back on Jan. 12 at Princeton. Cartwright had a complete all-around game with 15 points, nine assists, six boards and a pair of steals. His assist total tied a career high, which was set coincidentally in the earlier meeting this season with Cornell on Feb. 2.
Penn will close out its weekend against Columbia (10-13, 2-7 Ivy) tomorrow night at 7 p.m. from Levien Gym in New York City.
Game Notes: Penn has now won two games in a row and three of its last four ... Penn shot 54.9 percent from the field (28-51) and is 55.4 percent (51-92) in the last two games; the Quakers have shot 50 percent or better from the field five times this season ... Penn hit 10 three-pointers, the third time this season the Quakers have reached double digits in that category (also 10 vs. Binghamton and 12 in the first meeting with Cornell) ... Penn has outrebounded its opponent in two straight games, three of the last four contests, and four of the last six ... Penn had more assists than turnovers for the seventh time this season (fifth time in the last nine contests) ... Cornell tied an opponent team high this season with 27 three-point field goal attempts, and tied an opponent low with three steals ... Penn set a season low with two steals ... Freshman set a season/career high in points (29), nearly double his previous best of 16 ... Hicks' scoring performance was the best by a Penn freshman since a young man named dropped 31 at, of all places, Cornell on March 7, 1992 ... Hicks scored Penn's first eight points and 15 of the Quakers' first 17; early in the second half, he had a personal nine-point run during a stretch where Penn turned a 45-39 deficit into a 52-47 lead ... Hicks went 5-of-6 on three-pointers, tying the best performance by a Penn player in the Allen coaching era ... Hicks also went 2-of-2 at the foul line; he is 15-of-15 over the last four games, and has hit 17 in a row dating back to Columbia on February 1 ... Junior scored 15 points, pushing him past 1,000 for his career; he now has 1,002 and is the 38th player in program history to surpass the mark ... Cartwright has a team-leading 15 double-figure scoring games this season, and 48 for his career ... Cartwright went 4-of-4 at the foul line, making him 95-of-105 (90.5 percent) over Penn's last 22 games ... Cartwright also tied his season/career high with nine assists ... Freshman started for the first time in three games and had nine rebounds, two shy of his season/career high ... Sophomore had seven points, tying his season high (also Nov. 28 vs. Binghamton) ... Sophomore had eight points, his sixth game with eight or more points out of Penn's last 10 contests.Patrick Lucas-PerryCamryn CrockerDarien Nelson-HenryMiles CartwrightJerome AllenTony Hicks

Dr Green, the tutorials must be quite difficult to produce. Thanks anyway!
Sorry ju1ce didn't see you there heres the link to the card ju1ce added.
sunnyd24 na these tutorials are easy I am planning on a advanced bluetooth hacking guide explaining abit more on the workings of bluetooth in general, how the old hacks work, bluetooth sniffing in practice yadayada
And reading more it looks like bluez is now in the process of adding a csr sniffer google csrsniffer.c
Going to be adding some more info on the CSR dongle modification in the next couple of hours. If you are intrested in doing this hack, I would suggest going back and reading the moddifications to the post
Can I just say this looks very interesting, BUT one thing in this thread is missing... What is the actual point of this? What can you do by putting all these commands in?Bluesnarfing? What is it? What does it do?
You guys probably want to beat me up for my stupidity, but I am quite curious to know what it is, as it looks fairly interesting.

@ sardinemaster What a stupid question !!! I'm not going to waste my time answering those sort of questions !
@ spudgunman It looks like you may have some problems. Can you post the output of

You know how Par1s h1lton's phone got h4cked and all of her phone numbers got posted on the net? Well that was some sort of bluesnarf attack. You can do stuff like that. Why anyone would? I'm not sure. But if you were targeting someone then it would be something worth having in your arsenal. Then you can make one of these bad boys and do it from a few cities away.
I felt like bending the bars back, and ripping out the window frames and eating them. yes, eating them! Leaping, leaping, leaping! Colonics for everyone! All right! You dumb*sses. I'm a mental patient. I'm *supposed* to act out!
thanks a lot for these huge introduction into bluetooth.
i'm suddenly at the point where to use bluesnarfer or bluebugger.
i cannot find your video where you wanna explain how theese works? I think i'm blind ;-)
Normally i'm only interested in WLAN and not bluetooth, this should only be a short excursion into bluetooth, so i hope you can show it to me :-)
Thank's a lot men!
@ spankdidly yea good point and then sniper rifles are cool until you get piped of by a police sniper thinking you are a terrorist
Did you know that paris hilton was not the victim of any "hack". The guy used his social engineering skills to get the info he needed. Well thats what I was told Not sure who he rang or conned for pictures like that lol
Sorry I did upload it but it was terrible quality and never bothered to do it again hang on il upload it now

MT. VERNON, IOWA (March 7, 2008)—The Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA) has announced the theme and date for its fourth annual convention, to be held Oct. 1-4 in Phoenix, Ariz.
According to Ed Sauter, TCA Executive Director, "Highlighting Tilt-Up Achievement" was selected as the theme to showcase the most challenging Tilt-Up projects ever constructed.
"Seminars and roundtable discussions will discuss the engineering and construction challenges faced on these difficult projects and discuss how these challenges were overcome," said Sauter. "Tilt-Up design and construction professionals continue to push the medium to new levels, so it is important to explore the amazing accomplishments of the past to help pave the way for our future."
To be held at the Arizona Grand Resort in Phoenix, the convention is the premium gathering of the Tilt-Up industry each year with a multi-discipline approach to education and networking. Jim Baty, Technical Director of the TCA, said the Tilt-Up Convention will feature two concurrent educational tracks that focus on the construction and design aspects of these great projects. In addition, this year's Convention will once again offer an expansive tradeshow of the latest product technologies, a golf outing, and back by popular demand, a bus tour of area buildings. The TCA Convention will also feature a gallery of entries to the 2008 TCA/PCA student design competition and the 2008 TCA Safety Awards. In addition to the split tracks detailing the accomplishments on challenging projects, general session seminars will be offered for Tilt-Up certification, intro to Tilt-Up engineering, sustainability in the concrete industry and immigration laws revisited.
Any company involved in the Tilt-Up industry, designing with Tilt-Up, seeking to own a Tilt-Up building or just curious about the current state-of-the-art advancements in Tilt-Up will find this a challenging and inspiring Convention. Construction personnel, engineers, architects and owners are all invited and encouraged to attend in order to maximize the benefit to each company.
The Convention also serves as another venue for the Tilt-Up Supervisor's Certification exam–a joint program of the TCA and the American Concrete Institute. The examination consists of a closed-book, two-hour written test with 80 multiple-choice questions. For more information about the exam, please contact TCA at 319-895-6911.
Additional information and registration details are available on TCA's website at www.tilt-up.org by visiting the specialized section on the TCA Convention through the Calendar of Events. You will also find more information on the Student Design Competition and many additional features on the latest in Tilt-Up.
About TCA
TCA was founded in 1986 to improve the quality and acceptance of site cast Tilt-Up construction, a construction method in which concrete wall panels are cast on-site and tilted into place. Tilt-Up construction is one of the fastest growing industries in the United States, combining the advantages of reasonable cost with low maintenance, durability, speed of construction and minimal capital investment.

Roger Camille, better known as Kiko, was born in Héliopolis, Egypt. He made his first cartoons and illustrations for a newspaper from Cairo, and from the late 1950s, he was working for the Egyptian children's magazine Samir. Like many other Levantine inhabitants, he left the country during the Nasser government in the early 1960s.
Cover illustrations for Samir issues from 1959 (#171) and 1961
He stayed in Canada for a short period in 1962-1963 and then settled in Belgium, where he worked in the studio of André Franquin for a while. It was during this period that he developed the little Persian boy 'Foufi' with is flying carpet for an Arabic edition of the Superman comic from Beirut, Lebanon. Most of the scripts for Kiko's weekly Lebanese production were by Franquin.
Foufi from the Arabic edition of the Superman comic (1964)
He began a collaboration with the magazine Spirou in 1964, where he started out creating the series 'Djinn' in cooperation with scriptwriter Jacques Devos. By 1965, Kiko's best-known character, 'Foufi', was also introduced in the pages of Spirou magazine. Foufi's adventures ran until 1979, with a final appearance in 1983, and some stories were collected by Dupuis in two books.
Kiko has also made a lot of art for advertisements during his career. His promotional comics for Milky Way were published in magazines like Tintin in 1969-1971. He focused on commercial art from the 1980s onwards, and was the creator of mascots like the lion 'Max' for Motta ice cream.

Time to lighten up a bit.
President Obama and Gov. Romney spoke at the Afred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner, which raised $5 million for Catholic charities. The two candidates put their comedic talents on display.
From tuesday night's presidential debate:
OBAMA: "There are millions of women all across the country who rely on Planned Parenthood for mammograms, for cervical cancer screenings."
Last night, we had the second presidential debate, and I'd like to congratulate President Obama for showing up for this one. He acquitted himself better than in the first debate, but in my opinion, it's too late, he did too little, and there are very good reasons not to re-elect him. As I listen to Obama speak, I keep thinking to myself, "Obama talks like he hasn't' been President for the last four years'. He talks about what he wants to do, but he apparently thinks we've forgotten that he's already had four years to do these things. His promises ring hollow.
This following statement by Mitt Romney drives the point home. It came after Obama tried to defend his record. Romney threw the haymaker:
One of the hallmarks of the Obama administration has been it's proclivity to attempt to blame everything on others. The administration's 'The Buck Stops There' mentality was on display yet again in the vice presidential debate. Here's VP Joe Biden trying to blame Republicans for the lack of security at the embassy in Benghazi, Libya:
"Number one, the — this lecture on embassy security — the congressman [Republican Paul Ryan] here cut embassy security in his budget by $300 million below what we asked for, number one. So much for the embassy security piece."
There was a vice-presidential debate last night between Republican Paul Ryan and the Cheshire Cat from Alice In Wonderland.
The political left's latest tactic, beyond Big Bird, is to call Mitt Romney a liar every five seconds in the hope that it will distract people from the fact that Romney schooled Obama in the presidential debate. What follows are a few things the left would rather you not focus on as it screams "liar, liar, pants on fire !!!"
If you want to know what a simpering, sophomoric, shameless demagogue your current President is, look no further than Obama's new BIg Bird ad:
The Gallup post-debate polls show that Mitt Romney has erased President Obama's five point lead, with the race now tied. The latest Rasmussen poll of likely voters has Romney up by two points, and Rassmussen's overall poll has the race tied. In Ohio, Obama's big nine point lead has vanished. He trails Obama by a mere point now.
None of this is surprising given the first presidential debate, won by Romney in a landslide. While Obama supporters are offering an array of excuses to explain the President's poor performance, I think what happened is fairly simple to explain. For the first time, Romney got to define himself in front of the entire country. Prior to the debate, Romney was being defined by the media and by Obama's negative attack ads. The Obama-media's sophomoric, cartooonish portrayal of Romney as an evil Gordon Gecko type who doesn't pay taxes and who only cares about making the rich richer was belied by the Romney who stood at the debate podum intelligently discussing policy issues and offering solutions to America's economic woes. Team Obama is now sad that their childish Romney caricature has been dashed. Waah.
According to a post-presidential debate CNN poll, 67% of the viewers thought Gov. Romney won the debate, and 25% thought President Obama won the debate. In related news, 67% of those polled actually watched the debate, while the other 25% were too ashamed to admit they watched the Yankees-Red Sox game instead. Btw, the Yankees routed the Red Sox 14-2, which is similar to the way Romney routed Obama.
It was the most lopsided presidential debate victory since CNN started asking the "who won ?" question in 1984.
VP Joe Biden is the gift that keeps on giving. Here's Uncle Joe on the campaign trail:
This is going to be the easiest post I ever wrote, because I'm not going to write it. I read a speech by former Democratic pollster Pat Caddell called 'The Audacity Of Corruption', that is so illuminating, I'm going to bail and let you listen to him instead of me. Caddell has been around for a long time. He has worked for McGovern, Carter, Gary Hart, Biden, and Jerry Brown. Listen to what he's saying now:
"I think we're at the most dangerous time in our political history in terms of the balance of power in the role that the media plays in whether or not we maintain a free democracy or not. You know, when I first started in politics – and for a long time before that – everyone on both sides, Democrats and Republicans, despised the press commonly, because they were SOBs to everybody. Which is exactly what they should be. They were unrelenting. Whatever the biases were, they were essentially equal-opportunity people. That changed in 1980. There's a lot of reasons for it. It changed—an important point in the Dukakis-Bush election, when the press literally was trying to get Dukakis elected by ignoring what was happening in Massachusetts, with a candidate who was running on the platform of "He will do for America what he did for Massachusetts"—while they were on the verge of bankruptcy.

PSAProstate-specific antigen; Prostatecancer screening test
PSA stands for prostate-specific antigen. It is a protein produced by prostate cells.
This article discusses the blood test to measure the amount of PSA in a man's blood. The PSA test is done to help diagnose and follow prostate cancer in men.
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
How to Prepare for the Test
Make sure your doctor knows all the medications you are taking. Some drugs may cause your PSA levels to be falsely low. These include finasteride, dutasteride, saw palmetto use, and antiandrogen drugs, such as flutamide, nilutamide, and bicalutamide.
No other special preparation is usually needed.
How the Test Will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a bruise.
Why the Test is Performed
Reasons for a PSA test:
- This test may be done to screen for prostate cancer.
- It is also used to follow patients after prostate cancer treatment to see if the cancer has come back.
- If a healthcare provider feels the prostate gland is not normal during physical exam
For information about prostate cancer screening, see the "Considerations" section below.
Normal Results
PSA test results cannot diagnose prostate cancer. Only a prostate biopsy can diagnose this cancer.
Your doctor will look at your PSA results and must consider your age, your race, medicines you are taking, and many other things to decide whether your PSA is normal and whether you need more tests done.
Older men typically have slightly higher PSA levels than younger men. Commonly used ranges are as follows:
- Men below age 50: PSA less than 2.5
- Men 50 - 59 years: PSA level less than 3.5
- Men 60 - 69 years: PSA level less than 4.5
- Men older than 70 years: PSA level less than 6.5
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
A high PSA level has been linked to an increased chance of having prostate cancer.
In general, the following results need further follow-up and testing:
- A PSA of 4 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) for most men
- For men under age 49, levels above 2.5 ng/mL
- For men aged 50 - 59, levels above 3.5 ng/mL
- For men aged 60 - 69, levels above 4.5 ng/mL
- A significant rise from one year to the next may also indicate a higher risk of having prostate cancer. This is called PSA velocity.
- African Americans and Asian Americans may need follow-up testing if they have lower PSA levels.
- A rapidly changing PSA, even within the normal range, raises the likelihood of cancer.
PSA testing is an important tool for detecting prostate cancer, but it is not foolproof. Other conditions can cause a rise in PSA, including
- A larger prostate
- Prostate infection (prostatitis)
- Urinary tract infection
- Recent tests on your bladder (cystoscopy) or prostate (biopsy)
- Catheter tube recently placed into your bladder to drain urine
Your doctor will think about the following things when deciding on the next step:
- Your age
- If you had a PSA test in the past and how much and how fast your PSA levels have changed
- If your doctor finds a prostate lump during your exam
- Other symptoms you may have
- Other risk factors for prostate cancer, such as race and family history
People at higher risk may need to have more tests. Your doctor may recommend:
- Repeating your PSA test, most often sometime within 3 months
- A prostate biopsy
- A follow-up test called a free PSA (fPSA). The lower the level of this test, the more likely it is that prostate cancer is present.
For someone who has been treated for prostate cancer, the PSA level can show if a treatment is working or if the cancer has come back. Often, PSA levels will begin to rise before there are any symptoms, sometimes months or years beforehand.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
Measuring PSA levels can increase the chance of finding prostate cancer when it is very early.
However, the value of PSA screening for prostate cancer is debated. There is not a single answer that fits all men. Before having the test, it is best to discuss both the reasons to have and the reasons not to have a PSA test with your doctor.
Some questions you may ask your doctor when discussing having a PSA test include:
- What does an abnormal PSA test mean? Does it mean you have cancer?
- If the PSA test is abnormal, what other tests will be needed? Will you need a biopsy?
- What are your risk factors for prostate cancer? Does that change whether you should have a PSA test? What is the best age to start having a PSA test?
- What are the benefits and risks for you if prostate cancer is foundvery early?
- What are the risks of not having a PSA test to screen for prostate cancer?
- If prostate cancer is found early, can it be watched without treatment?
If a man chooses to be tested, the PSA is most often done every year to screen:
- Men ages 40 - 75
- Men with a family history of prostate cancer (especially a brother or father) and African-American men, who should think about starting around age 40 - 45. This is because they have a higher chance of developing prostate cancer.
PSA testing is not recommended for screening men over age 75.

The notorious gambler in Ned Colletti crossed the finish line of Wednesday's major league trade deadline more than a little disappointed.
With so many teams around baseball clinging to the belief they are real contenders in the expanded playoff format and everyone else appraising the moderate trade chips they held as if they were rare pieces of art, the lack of trade activity grinded to a near halt.
From Kansas City to Milwaukee to New York and everywhere in between, teams were either hesitant to give up hope of securing a playoff berth or pricing themselves out of the market by asking too much in return for the slim pickings they made available.
Coupled with the fact more and more teams are locking up their young stars -- reducing the need to sell them off just before they hit free agency -- it was an utterly uneventful trade deadline.
And even though Colletti was sitting in an enviable position with his first-place Dodgers loaded across the diamond and secure in the knowledge All-Star center fielder Matt Kemp will return at some point in August, one of the game's great risk-taking GMs suffered through Wednesday like a Wall Street Junk bond broker sidelined by laryngitis.
Colletti didn't need to make a big deal -- the Dodgers made sure of that with their recent 27-6 surge to take over the lead in the National League West, powered by the sudden impact of Yasiel Puig, the emergence of Hanley Ramirez, steadiness of Adrian Gonzalez and a rebuilt bullpen that, for the time being, looks capable enough to withstand the pressure of a pennant chase.
But even if Colletti did want to make a bold move, there were none to be made.
And that left him restless.
"I like the action," Colletti said.
And there was very little of that Wednesday.
"I was a little disappointed when 1 p.m. came around," he said, wistfully.
Colletti typically approaches this time of year like a clean-up hitter would a ninth-inning at bat with a runner at second base in a tied game.
It's the one time during the season he can make an impact in reshaping, re-tooling or replenishing his ballclub -- this year in particular as the Dodgers try to tweak and fine tune for the looming playoffs run awaiting them this fall.
Over the years he's made dramatic deadline moves to add Manny Ramirez, Greg Maddux, Casey Blake and Ted Lilly.
Add in the subsequent waiver-wire trade period -- which Colletti has used to add Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Marlon Anderson over the years -- he's shown a bold and daring nature that's generally benefited the Dodgers.
The key being he had willing trade partners offering legitimate talent and asking for reasonable packages in return.
As opposed to this year when various factors conspired to dry up the trade market save for pitchers Jake Peavey moving from the Chicago White Sox to the Boston Red Sox, Matt Garza moving from the Chicago Cubs to the Texas Rangers and Bud Norris going from the Houston Astros to the Baltimore Orioles.
"It was the slowest trade deadline in a long time," said Colletti, whose only move was to bolster the Dodgers catching depth by trading for Minnesota's Drew Butera, who was immediately optioned to Triple-A.
Other than that, it was a quiet day.
One that left Colletti looking forward to the upcoming waiver-wire period.
"There's still deals to be made out there," Colletti said. "And if there's a chance to help the club, we'll take a shot at it."
The hope being more teams will be willing to deal seriously as the contenders begin distancing themselves from the pretenders later in the season.
Because right now too many teams are convinced they are in contention for a playoff spot and hesitant to sell off key parts.
"There are a lot of teams that still feel they have a chance," Colletti said.
Mostly, that's the result of the second wild card spot now available in both leagues, providing more hope than ever to teams which normally would be sellers this time of year.
"It's changed the way a lot of teams are thinking," Colletti said.
The good news is the Dodgers weren't compelled to make a major move anyway.
About the only concern is the bullpen, although the recent emergence of Brandon League and the addition of hard-throwing youngster Chris Withrow has helped stabilize the relief corps.
They also added former San Francisco Giants closer Brian Wilson Tuesday, and if he has any gas left in the tank he could help down the stretch.
As a result, Colletti was dealing from a position of strength even as teams tried to fleece him for moderate relief help.
"The relative market for relief pitching, I thought, was not robust," Colletti said. "The asking price was really robust. I must have heard the same five prospects from us in every conversation. 'We'll take this guy and that guy. And those two and that two' and we weren't prepared to do that.
"It's a good thing we really didn't need to re-tool the bullpen," Colletti said. "Because it would have been really tough to do."
It was a difficult day to get anything done.
And for a gambler like Colletti it made for a long, unsatisfying day.

November 5, 2007 John Philip Sousa, "The March King," Subject of New Web Site
Press Contact: Guy Lamolinara (202) 707-9217
To commemorate the birthday of world-renowned bandleader and composer John Philip Sousa on Nov. 6, 1854, a new Web site dedicated to the composer of "The Stars and Stripes Forever" is now available from the Library of Congress at www.loc.gov/lcp. This presentation provides access to many music manuscripts from the John Philip Sousa Collection, which is housed in the Library's Music Division. Also online are more than 450 pieces of printed music and historic recordings of the Sousa Band. The site includes a selection of photographs and the manuscript of "Pipetown Sandy," Sousa's semiautobiographical novel of a boy's adventures in Civil War-era Washington, D.C. Copies of programs and press clippings from the band's 1919-20 North American tour press books appear courtesy of the U.S. Marine Band Library. Although he is best known for his marches, Sousa composed a variety of music, including operettas, suites, fantasies, vocal works and dances. Born in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 6, 1854, Sousa enlisted in the U.S. Marine Band as an apprentice musician at the age of 13. After being discharged, he made his living as a violinist and conductor in various theater orchestras in Washington and Philadelphia. His renown as a composer, conductor and arranger grew, and in 1880 he was appointed leader of the U.S. Marine Band, known as "The President's Own," a position he held until 1892. After leaving the Marine Band, he formed his own professional concert band, which employed some of the finest musicians of the day, including Herbert L. Clarke on cornet, Arthur Pryor on trombone and Maud Powell on violin. Known throughout the world as "The March King," Sousa traveled with his band to entertain people around the country. He and his musicians traveled around the world as well, promoting American music everywhere they went. Sousa died after a rehearsal of the Ringgold Band in Reading, Pa., on March 6, 1932. He was buried at Congressional Cemetery in Washington, D.C. On Dec. 11, 1987, President Ronald Reagan signed a law designating Sousa's "The Stars and Stripes Forever" as the national march of the United States. John Philip Sousa began donating his music manuscripts to the Music Division of the Library of Congress in 1914. Over the years, Sousa family members and others have presented additional Sousa-related materials to the Library. The John Philip Sousa Collection now contains approximately 10,000 items, including music and literary manuscripts, printed music, photographs and business records of the Sousa band. John Philip Sousa IV, the composer's great-grandson, continues to enrich the collection with additional research materials.
