ASK ED TITTEL
How worthy is MCDBA certification?
Dear Ed:
I would like to know your opinion regarding the MCDBA (SQL Server 2000) certification. I have been in the IT industry working with voice/data networking infrastructures for the past nine years. Now I would like to utilize my mind more via database design/implementation and software development rather than continuing to work with hardware.

THE MISSING LINK
Cell phones are NOT for the birds

Squawking members of the Royal Pigeon Racing Association (RPRA) in the U.K. suspect that cell phone towers and the signals they send are messing with the birds' heads, jamming their natural homing devices and causing them to get lost. The RPRA is tired of all the wayward pigeons and empty pigeon cages -- they want some research done to determine whether cell phone towers are in fact turning their favorite pastime into a wild goose chase.
