I like capitalism. Specifically, I like the idea that if I write a better book, have a better idea, build a better mousetrap, I will be rewarded accordingly.

FAQ Members/Providers
What is MediPass?
Most Medicaid recipients must enroll in a managed health care plan. MediPass is one of your Medicaid managed health care choices. All the benefits you had before under Medicaid are the same with MediPass.
In MediPass, you will have a doctor or health care center that is your provider. You will go to your provider for check-ups and when you are sick. Your provider will give you or arrange for all of your health care, keep all your medical records up-to-date and in one place, refer you to a specialist when it is necessary, and arrange to admit you to a hospital, when needed.
Will my Medicaid covered services change?
No. You are still eligible to receive the same health care services under MediPass. If your provider does not offer a medically necessary service that you need, your provider will refer you to another Medicaid provider who can give you the care you need.
Does MediPass have a program for people with chronic health conditions?
Yes, MediPass has special programs for people living with chronic conditions who have HIV/AIDS, and Hemophilia. MediPass will contact you if you are eligible for these programs. Call your local Medicaid office for more information.
What if I need to see a specialist or go into the hospital?
Call your MediPass provider. Your MediPass provider can refer you to any Medicaid provider for specialty care or arrange to admit you to a hospital that takes Medicaid.
Will I get a new Medicaid card?
No. You will keep the same gold Medicaid card. You will still need to show your Medicaid card when you get medical care. Your MediPass and Medicaid providers will need your Medicaid card to see if you are enrolled in Medicaid and eligible for their services. You should keep your Medicaid and MediPass cards together. The MediPass card has the name of your MediPass provider, provider address and phone number on it.
What if I need emergency care?
If you have an emergency and you think a delay in getting care might result in death or permanent harm, you should immediately call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency room. If you do go to the emergency room, you should call your MediPass provider once the emergency is over. Your doctor may need to see you for follow-up care or refer you to a specialist.
What if I have medical questions or need non-emergency care after office hours?
You can call your MediPass provider 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Your MediPass provider will be able to help you.
Can I change my MediPass provider?
Yes, you can change your MediPass provider at any time. Just call your local Medicaid office for help to change providers.

Do you have a specialist's list online I can use when referring my patients?Specialty directories are maintained by the local Medicaid offices. For an updated list, please contact your local Medicaid office.
How do I become a MediPass provider?Contact your Medicaid office and request an enrollment package, then submit the application to your local Medicaid office for processing.
Coinsurance and/or deductibles
Can I bill my MediPass beneficiaries any additional fees?No. A provider who bills Medicaid for reimbursement of a Medicaid-covered service must accept payment from Medicaid as payment in full. This does not include Medicaid copayments and Medicaid coinsurance (Florida Medicaid Provider General Handbook, Chapter 1, page 6 – Payment services). For information on billing for non Medicaid covered services please see Florida Medicaid Provider General Handbook, Chapter 1, page 7.
Are MediPass providers supposed to see their assigned recipients before giving an authorization to another doctor, especially for services they can do?It would be ideal for the patient to get established with the PCP before any authorization is given; however, patients can have on-going treatments or appointments with specialty doctors already in process before a new assignment occurs. The MediPass PCP should use good medical judgment in determining the need to authorize services in these cases so as not to interfere with the care of the patient. If the service is a general medical visit that could be provided at the MediPass PCP office, the MediPass PCP can refuse authorization and suggest the patient be seen in their office.
Can the MediPass authorization be used for out of state treatment/visits?No. Prior authorization for out-of-state services requires unique authorization granted by the Medicaid Services/Medicaid Prior Authorization Unit. For additional information on out-of-state services refer to the Medicaid Provider General Handbook.
My claim keeps denying for Third Party Liability (TPL), but the recipient only has Medicaid. What can I do?Call Health Management Systems (FL TPL Recovery Unit) at 877-357-3268. They have contracted with Florida Medicaid to handle Third Party Liability. They can give you instructions on how to have the TPL removed from the recipient's file
How can I find out the status on my claim or my check amount?Call HP Provider Inquiry at 800-289-7799. Check amounts are also available through the Automated Voice Response System (AVRS) at 800-239-7560.
I have paper claims that I need to send to the fiscal agent for payment. What is the address?There are different post office boxes for claims depending on the claim type. The address for each type is in the Provider General Handbook. Go to the HP website, www.mymedicaid-florida.com, and go to Public information for Providers then Provider Support, and go to Handbooks. You may also call HP Provider Inquiry number at 800-289-7799.

On Monday forum member mvp0207 asked the question: Myers or Kulikov? As I was diving in to answer his question I realized that this would make for the perfect Cage Match. His league has the standard 6x4 H2H rotisserie format and while it is a one year league I will answer his question for both the one year and keeper scope. You ready? Let's do this.
At only 21 years old both Tyler Myers and Dmitri Kulikov are already NHL veterans playing in their third NHL season. This is common place in the salary cap era as youngsters, even young defensemen, are pressed into action sooner. This trend has forced us to change the way we view the development of defensemen.
Traditionally defensemen have taken years to develop into stars. A classic model is Chris Pronger, who was selected second overall in 1993 . Pronger made the leap straight from the draft to the NHL, which was itself a minor miracle for that day and age, but it took until Pronger's sixth season, when he was 24 years old, before he scored even 40 points. Today it is no longer unusual for a defenseman to jump straight from the draft to the NHL and the expectations among teams, fans and poolies alike is to see production right away because if your young defenseman isn't producing chances are someone else's is. Myers and Kulikov offer us two different perspectives on how poolies need to approach these young defensemen.
Myers is the obvious answer to mvp0207's question. One need only compare their stats from the last two years and see that Myers has absolutely been the better own so far but it never is quite that simple. When players are so young one must be patient when considering their future and allow time for all the development and circumstantial opportunities to sort themselves out.
So far Myers has had an extreme advantage both developmentally and circumstantially. While both Kulikov and Myers were born in 1990, Myers was born in early February and Kulikov in late October. This means Kulikov has more in common, developmentally, with a player born in 1991 and this is reflected in the fact that Kulikov was drafted a year later than Myers. Essentially Myers has had an extra year of growth and development and that is compounded by the fact that Kulikov is an import and only got one year of play in the CHL before making the leap to the NHL. Myers, on the other hand, played three full seasons of major junior hockey before making his NHL debut. So while they both debuted in 2009-10, Myers was already light years ahead of Kulikov.
What's more, Myers received pro style coaching for each of his three years of major junior, playing for the NHL defenseman factory known as the Kelowna Rockets. The Rockets franchise is only 16 years old but it has developed quite the reputation for preparing its players for the rigors of the NHL. Their alumni include Shea Weber, Duncan Keith, Luke Schenn and many more NHL defensemen. Myers could not have picked a better junior team if he'd had a choice.
Then we have to factor in their pro teams. Myers was not only drafted to a quality franchise that made the playoffs in both of his first two years he was also given every opportunity to succeed. While Myers' combination of size, skating and puck moving ability was out of this world no matter which team he played for, it certainly helped that the Sabres were lacking all three. Not since Brian Campbell left had the Sabres had a defenseman with Myers elite skating and puck moving skills and the only time they'd ever glimpsed someone taller than six foot was when they looked at their opponents, or the crowd, or walked down the street. Myers' size was a more than welcome addition to the team but it was really his puck moving and skating skills that allowed Myers to become a major fantasy asset so quickly.
Devoid of any other real options the Sabres handed the keys to their power play over to Myers right from the get go. Myers led all Sabres in ice time with over 23 minutes a night and all defensemen in power play ice time, with just under three minutes a night, during his rookie season, often as the lone defenseman on the top power play unit. The Sabres power play was only middle of the pack (17th in the league) but their overall team scoring was among the top 10 (exactly 10th actually). Big minutes and top unit power play time go a long way, no matter what team you play for but Myers' team was above average and so was his opportunity.
It was more of the same for Myers in his sophomore season. The Sabres power play was improved (ninth in the league) and their overall scoring remained top 10 (ninth as well) putting Myers in a great position to succeed. He was second on the team in ice time with over 22 minutes per game and once again led all Sabres defensemen in power play time. It is worth noting that free agent acquisition Jordan Leopold is the player who took over Myers' ice time lead and also nearly tied Myers for power play ice time. This, along with the fact that Myers may have been a little bit lucky during his rookie season can help account for Myers' decline to his disappointing sophomore year. (Disappointing is of course a relative term)
Kulikov, as is becoming the trend, had it much harder once he arrived. The Panthers have been a horrific franchise, having not made the playoffs in over a decade. In Kulikov's rookie season they had the league's third worst offense and second worst power play. His sophomore season was no better. Their offense improved one spot to 27th but their power play fell one spot to dead last.
Even if Kulikov received the type of minutes Myers had, he still would have been in tough to match Myers' production. Kulikov, of course, did not receive Myers-like minutes and so it was almost inevitable that Myers would out-produce him. Kulikov averaged just shy of 18 minutes a game for the Panthers in his rookie season, 2:47 of those came on the power play. In his sophomore season Kulikov's ice time was up to just shy of 20 minutes a game while his power play time dropped to 2:36 per game.
By his sophomore season Kulikov's ice time was almost comparable but still short of Myers' but there is more. Kulikov never got much of an opportunity to skate with the top power play unit in Florida. He was always second on the depth chart to veteran defenseman Bryan McCabe. It's tough enough to produce on a talent and scoring deprived team as it is, but when you are in turn deprived of playing with the limited number of skilled players on the team you are fighting a losing battle. Kulikov's 16-point rookie season and 26-point sophomore season are remarkable when you consider he was just 19 and 20 years old when he recorded those respective totals. And while they show healthy improvement from year to year, they are still drastically low in comparison to Myers and that's all that really counts for poolies.
To put this all another way, to this point Myers has essentially been the trust fund baby whose parents put him into private school, paid for his college, bought him a car and scored him a job. He's had literally every advantage over Kulikov who, in this example, is the stereotypical poor kid who has had scrape his way from the bottom. It truly can be a cruel world but time is the great equalizer for prospects. Time gives the smaller, the weaker and the younger a chance to grow.
That is exactly what has happened to the Myers-Kulikov Cage Match. Time hasn't just thinned out the margins here – it has flipped them entirely on their heads. Time has allowed for the development of new opportunities. Some doors have opened and other doors have closed. Over the summer a lot of doors were opened and shut in Florida and Buffalo.
The Sabres got themselves a new owner, Terry Pegula, who spent the summer making it rain like he was Pacman Jones. His spending spree scored Myers a fat new contract but it also cost him his peachy spot as top dog on the Sabres blueline. Frozenpool's line combinations tool shows us that Myers is no longer the golden child in Buffalo.
Instead Myers has been relegated to second unit duties alongside Leopold. Prized free agent signee Christian Ehrhoff and playoff hero Marc-Andre Gragnani are now the big men on campus. Myers' power play ice time has now fallen to just under two minutes per game and the Sabres blueline depth is also costing him overall ice time. He sees just 21:28 per game, which is still good for second on the team but clearly the lowest he's averaged in his career.
Myers is being used in predominantly a shutdown role. This is what poolies feared most about Myers when he was first drafted. No one really expected Myers' rookie exploits but once they came everyone took for granted how lucky it was.
Myers' true calling has always been to be that shutdown defenseman. While his offensive prowess and instincts are quite good his skills better lend themselves to the defensive end. His long reach and smooth skating stride are simply better utilized matching up against the other teams' best players. In this sense he is a lot, if not exactly, like Calgary defenseman Jay Bouwmeester.
For years Bouwmeester racked up solid point totals despite never really being a true offensive defenseman. This was because he played in Florida. There were no better options so Bouwmeester got all the offensive minutes he could handle. When he signed as a free agent in Calgary he got paired up with Robyn Regehr and assumed his proper role as a shutdown guy. Poolies have avoided him ever since.
Can you guess who Myers' partner is this season? If you can't, Frozenpool has the answer:
That's right, it's Robyn Regehr! Buffalo liked what he did to Bouwmeester so much they decided they just had to have him. Now Myers on pace for very Bouwmeester-esque 24 points. That's un-ownable in just about any fantasy league. It is a small sample size (10 games) but the ice time stats speak volumes about how much has been taken away from Myers. Now I know you Myers owners are in denial so allow me to pile on.
Myers and Regehr are gobbling up penalty kill minutes (over three minutes per game for each of them) and thanks to Behindthenet we can see that Myers and Regehr also receive the fewest offensive zone starts of all Buffalo defensemen. They are most definitely the shutdown pairing and it is time to start getting worried. After all, Bouwmeester didn't stop receiving power play time when he went to Calgary either. He just stopped receiving top unit power play time because he was being used in another role. You could say he came down with a bad case of "The Scourge of Robyn Regehr" and it looks like Myers has now caught it.
Now consider what happened in Florida this summer. If Buffalo's off-season moves were the absolute worst case scenario for Myers then Florida's off-season moves have been the absolute best for Kulikov. First of all, McCabe was traded away at last year's trade deadline. This resulted in an immediate spike in Kulikov's ice time and his seven points over those final 21 (McCabe free) games made for one of the best stretches of his young career. Then this offseason the Panthers hired a new coach, Kevin Dineen, who boasts a very solid run coaching the Portland Pirates of the AHL over the last six years. Finally, Panthers GM Dale Tallon went out on a spending spree that you just know Terry Pegula was jealous of. Tallon handed out four year deals like hand jobs in a back alley and that was just to get to the cap floor! The end result being that Florida is, at least for now, a much improved team.
Of Tallon's acquisitions, veteran defenseman Brian Campbell is the most interesting. While Kulikov may have at first been thinking, "Oh here we go again," but Campbell's game is much more similar to Kulikov's than McCabe's was so he offers a much better model to learn from. Furthermore, the Panthers bringing in a new coach has meant a deviation from their old single defenseman power play schemes that left Kulikov out in the cold. As Frozenpool will show us, Kulikov and Campbell have actually been paired together making them the number one pairing on Florida's power play.
Kulikov is now playing well over four minutes a night on the power play and seeing over 22 minutes per game in overall ice time. That's certainly the most Kulikov has seen in his career and is even better than what Myers received in his first two years in Buffalo.
As mentioned earlier, the off-season additions have also made Florida a much more prolific team. Their offense is only middle of the pack (16th in the league) but their power play is top five (fifth exactly). This is also a vast improvement over their dreadful scoring and power play performances of the previous two seasons. Even if they do decline (and they should, they really, really, really should) their scoring and power play numbers will still be the best of Kulikov's tenure in Florida thus making his environment much more agreeable.
All these changes are working wonders for Kulikov. He has seven points (three on the power play) through the first eleven games of the season. That all his points are assists is mildly disconcerting but over half (4) have been primary assists so it's not as though he's snaking out a bunch of secondary assists and misleading us with an early pace that he cannot maintain. His current pace is for 52 points and while that is a little high Kulikov is certainly capable of topping 40 this year. With all the experience he gained in his first two seasons and the bounties of this new opportunity it is safe to say Kulikov is ready to breakout.
The only real question mark with Kulikov is durability. He has averaged only 70 games through his first two years in the league and when you consider his slight build he seems a good bet to miss some time. With a bit of luck though, Kulikov will pot 40 in 70 games.
Of course, points are not the only part of the equation but neither Kulikov nor Myers are big PIM producers (both averaging around 40 PIM a year). Furthermore, neither one is an extreme outliers when it comes to Plus/Minus (although Myers is admittedly better if for no other reason than the fact his team is better). Neither one is a big shooter but Myers, in his reduced role, will be shooting less, while Kulikov, in his increased role, will be shooting more (and already is with 20 SOG through the first 11 games) so score that category to Kulikov. We've already covered points, with Kulikov gaining a serious advantage, although it's worth mentioning that Myers should hold the goals advantage for the next couple years while Kulikov learns to use his shot more effectively. This gives Kulikov assists, PPP and SOG, with Myers holding down Plus/Minus (maybe) and goals (for now). The tables have clearly turned and the time to run out and grab Kulikov is now. In fact, maybe you'll want to sell Bouwmeester… err… I mean Myers while you still can.
This goes for both one year and keeper leagues. The gap will only get bigger. If you asked anyone, before Myers' explosive rookie season, who the better offensive prospect was they'd have told you it was Kulikov, hands down. He has been compared to former star defenseman and fellow Russian, Sergei Goncher, by many different people and that's the upside you are looking at with Kulikov. Myers, meanwhile, well he's a Jay Bouwmeester clone or at most a slightly more offensively inclined Jay Bouwmeester. Hand Kulikov the belt and a stool he can climb up on. He is head and shoulders above Myers and the clear winner of this Cage Match. Surprisingly enough, it wasn't even close and maybe it never was. All you needed was a little patience.

Friggin' hilarious though, I'll give you that.
And great analysis.

BGJ - Damn right.
Robert - Thanks for sharing. I love personal fan stories like that. They remind us that our passion is the same even if we cheer for different teams. And for what it's worth Kassian is putting up some respectable numbers down in Portland. Now that the team is loaded with puck movers it stands to reason Kassian is the better fit even if he has sawdust for brains.
Mike - All things being equal, I didn't expect to provide such an in depth response when I went to answer your question. I felt myself tumbling down the rabbit hole a bit so I decided this needed to be an article. Thanks for the inspiration and happy pooling.
Thanks Jeff. Thanks Derek. Your feedback is much appreciated.

As a Sabres fan I remember feeling outraged when they picked Kassian rather than Kulikov in the entry draft. Passing on a potential star to gain a thug. I was so pissed I threw my papers at the TV and actually turned it off - the first time I had ever stopped watching one of my favorite shows of the year.

Tips to Secure Your Wireless Router
Last Updated: Fri, 22 Apr 2011 > Related Articles
Use these tips to help you secure your wireless connection.
Wireless networks have become increasingly popular and for good reason; they can be very easy to set up and you don't have to worry about running any wires in your office. However, wireless routers can be a potential security risk if you do not take the necessary steps to secure them. Here are some tips to help you secure your wireless connection.
Note: Since every router is different, consult your owner's manual for specific instructions on how to implement any of these suggestions.
|Change your admin username and password
|The first thing you should do before you hookup your wireless router or device to the Internet is to change the default password and username. Most companies post the default username and password on their website, so anyone could gather this info and log in your router.
|Disable remote admin access
|This is a tough one to do, since you may need to make changes to your router when you are home or traveling. However, you can be assured that the casual hackers will by-pass your router if this service is disabled.
|Enable WEP or WPA encryption
|When using WEP or WPA, a user must have the correct encryption key to connect to your wireless network. Also, data transmitted over the network is encrypted so anyone trying to view your data, they would not be able to decipher it.
|Change your SSID
|An SSID is the name of a wireless local area network (service set identifier). All wireless devices on a WLAN must employ the same SSID in order to communicate with each other. Your router comes with a default SSID. Change it to something that does not describe the manufacturer or model of your router.
|Disable SSID broadcasting
|Most wireless routers broadcast their SSID to everyone. This makes it easy for someone driving by to detect your wireless network. Disable this feature.
|Enable MAC address filtering
|Each network card has a unique number on it, the MAC address (Media Access Control). You can manually input the MAC address of each wireless network card into the configuration of your wireless router and then only these MAC addresses are allowed to connect to your network.
|Block Port 25
|By blocking port 25, you would not be allowing anyone to send mail directly to an outbound mail server from your internet connection. This can assist in stopping a spammer from sending a large amount of email from your connection. A lot of mass mailing worms, such as NetSky, use the infected computers outbound email server via port 25. By blocking this port, it can assist in stopping the spread of viruses.
For those users that must send email, have them use the webmail interface provided by their email host or company. You may also allow your clients to use a VPN to connect to their companies network and send and receive mail.

"This product made it very easy and fast to let everyone know my new address. I didn't want to send a postcard because it takes longer to get there and your info is exposed. These cards come with an envelope and are printed so you just have to address the envelope. Or not since they will print you envelopes if you want. I addressed my own."
"I ordered the yellow in this postcards and it's beautiful! perfect for a summer moving card. the quality is excellent, I always get great products from tinyprints!"
"I bought these announcements two weeks before moving and was a bit concerned about production time. They arrived exactly as promised, right on time. A call to customer service about my split order was handled efficiently by super friendly staff. The cards themselves were great quality and they were even able to accommodate a special request for a an adjustment I could not do myself with the online ordering system! After this experience I will definitely be ordering from them again!"
"The background of this announcement reminds me of the town we are moving too. It's a perfect setting to announce our new address to our family and friends. The paper quality is top notch. I just love how the pearl finish added just enough pizazz without going overboard. Very happy with the overall results!"
"My husband and I are moving to a new city soon, and we needed a way to tell our close family and friends. I ordered the "Wave of Change" cards in the turquoise color, and I absolutely love them! The only thing that kind of threw me off guard was that they were SMALLER than I thought they would be. Also, they have kind of a weathered look on the chevrons that I guess I didn't notice in the picture. It almost looks like the printer was low on ink when they were being made, lol. But the color was right on, and super bright. Overall, this was a great choice for our little family."

English FA Cup
January 29, 2012
- FTFT1Sunderland
- FTFT2Arsenal
Aston Villa3
As with most Premier League sides, it won't suit Sunderland to draw and have the replay but Boro deserve just that and will be pleased with their performance.
The draw seems like a fair result, and of course there will be a cup replay. Sunderland were the better side on the balance of the game, and also had a first-half effort disallowed, but Middlesbrough wasted several chances too; it would have been cruel for them to lose.
Full-time: Sunderland 1-1 Middlesbrough
Though Emnes can't head the ball properly and the chance has passed
But Boro win the ball back and launch their own attack!
Time for one last Sunderland counter attack...
McLean fires just wide! Decent effort with power, but it's just outside the near post. Dangerous from Sunderland
Good catch by Ripley, collecting the deep cross. He's in no hurry to resume play, a replay would be good for Boro, particularly with Sunderland looking more likely to win
Four minutes of added time to be played...
But Boro defend well...
McLean now leading another Sunderland attack...
Haroun offside. Sunderland free-kick
Campbell loses possession and Boro look to break...
Larsson really overhits a follow-up cross from the corner and it's out for a goal-kick
Great defending by Bates following the best move of the game by Sunderland, one that culminated in a cross from McLean that Bates clear. Sunderland corner
Williams clears the loose ball. Sunderland throw-in
Campbell fouls Bates. Boro free-kick inside their own penalty area
Less than 10 minutes left for either side to find a winner, then
Boro 'keeper Coyne replaced after suffering an injury with the son of Stuart Ripley (the ex-Blackburn winger and England international), Connor, replacing him
Coyne off, Ripley on
Boro corner...
What defending from Larsson! Makes a great tackle with Jutkiewicz preparing to shoot - would surely have scored from that
Boro now looking to build their own attack...
Stat: Middlesbrough have had more players sent off against Sunderland than any other club
Corner comes to nothing with Williams penalised for fouling Mignolet
Nice end-to-end football being played. Though Sunderland are the better side, Boro could very possibly win this too, particularly if the home side leave themselves exposed
Boro win a corner as Robson's cross is deflected over
Sunderland struggling to clear the ball from their penalty area...
Campbell shows his pace to reach the loose ball but can't quite keep it on. Boro goal-kick
Well defended from McMahon again, diving to head and clear the ball with McLean ready to pounce
Boro goal-kick, Coyne to take...
Sunderland looking to attack again; Campbell's proving a much more reliable focal point for their attacks (something they've lacked this season)
Williams booked for fouling McLean
Campbell through-ball runs out for a Boro throw-in. Wasted chance
Sessegnon slices harmlessly over. Boro goal-kick (and a much needed relief from the pressure)
Nice football there from Sunderland, with Gardner and McLean combining well for McLean to cross, though the effort's out for a corner
Good save there from Coyne! Sunderland looking to take the lead now
Well defended again by McMahon on McLean; good duel taking place between these two
Emnes fires the loose ball well over! Boro need to take some of these chances if they want to avoid defeat today
And another corner, after Bardsley heads clear
Boro corner after Williams' shot is deflected wide
The roles have very much been reversed - Boro suddenly look unsettled and need more time on the ball, with Sunderland looking energised by the equaliser
Larsson overhits the cross and McMahon heads clear
Sunderland corner...
Campbell, playing off the shoulder of the defender, has added so much more mobility to Sunderland's attack and he and Sessegnon are really threatening
Sunderland now piling the pressure on!
Brown off, Turner on
Sunderland break following Boro's corner, with McLean running down the left wing and laying the ball off for Campbell to finish. It was a great finish by the ex-Manchester United striker who showed great confidence and composure to shoot first time instead of taking a touch. Good goal
GOAL Sunderland 1-1 Middlesbrough! Campbell equalises on his return to the first-team!
Middlesbrough will take the consequent corner once he has recovered
Well defended from Brown - very committed but he's hurt himself following a big fall
Brown tackles Haroun and it's a Boro throw-in. McMahon, however, is still complaining about McLean's challenge
Good tackle by McLean on McMahon with the full-back advancing
Haroun heads clear. And Boro now have a throw-in
Now a Sunderland free-kick from the edge of Boro's penalty box, but it's at a wide angle
Robson shoots but the effort curls wide. Decent effort though
Now a Boro free-kick following Gardner's foul on Haroun. Also shooting distance
Emnes fires wide! Decent connection with the ball but it's off target the moment it leaves his foot
Boro now win a corner at the other end following good work from Robson
Gardner shoots but it's off target
Sunderland win a free-kick 30 yards from Boro's goal. Possibly shooting distance
Fraizer Campbell returns following a long injury lay-off, and Wickham's off following a disappointing first-half
Wickham off, Campbell on
The second-half's underway...
That said, one strongly suspects O'Neill will correct things at half-time and it could be a difficult second half for Boro. That said, Boro are an improving side and have a decent manager in Mowbray. Given that this is also a derby, they may just have enough about them to seal what would be a good victory
Despite Sunderland having a goal disallowed, Middlesbrough deserve the lead. The Premier League side have been poor in possession and have given the ball away too often.
Half-time: Sunderland 0-1 Middlesbrough
Foul by McMahon on McLean, while Sessegnon and Williams are also visibly unhappy with each other
Two minutes of added time to be played - seems right
Boro miss a great chance! Good 'keeping by Mignolet from Jutkiewicz's shot but when the rebound comes to the debutant he hits it horribly wide. That could be crucial
Sunderland given a deserved free-kick. The challenge was fair
Hoyte booked for the foul
Hoyte with a heavy challenge on Sessegnon and he'll be penalised...
Middlesbrough free-kick on the halfway line for a foul on Haroun
Sunderland suddenly look more tidy in possession, despite Boro continuing to press
And Bardsley goes close following an ambitious attack, though his effort's saved
Sunderland have since upped their tempo...
Gardner penalised for a handball in controlling the ball just before he turned and shot inside the right post. Very good effort
Sunderland have an equaliser disallowed!
Wickham overhits his cross on the edge of the Boro penalty area and the ball's out for a goal-kick
Mignolet collects the loose ball...
Though play's yet to resume with Williams currently receiving treatment following a clash of heads with McLean
It's a decent delivery from Larsson but Wickham heads over. Goal-kick to Boro.
And a Sunderland free-kick. To far out to shoot, but a good crossing opportunity. Larsson to take
Sunderland fans started to get frustrated with the home side misplacing too many passes, the latest giving Middlesbrough a throw-in
But the long ball from Brown's overhit and, following good defending from McMahon, McLean can't recover the ball. Boro goal-kick
Sunderland now looking to counter, with Vaughan in possession in midfield
...and yet another
...and another
And now a throw-in, deeper into Boro's half
And a Sunderland free-kick on the edge of their own penalty area...
Corner comes to nothing; no threat at all. Boro free-kick for Bardsley's foul on McDonald
Sunderland corner after Haroun tackles McLean
Sunderland now with the ball in defence
Getting scrappy in midfield again. Both sides are struggling to keep control of possession and build any momentum
Sunderland corner after Richardson's low cross is deflected out by the goalscorer Robson
And McLean again! Vaughan curled in a very good cross from the right which McLean headed goalwards, but Coyne saved comfortably. Better from Sunderland
And a decent effort from McLean at the other end, but it's a good save from Coyne
Well defended from Bardsley, shielding the ball and taking it away from danger
Sundelrand give the ball away in midfield. Boro throw in
Gardner fires over for Sunderland! He's scored some decent goals recently and is clearly confident but, though he connected well with the ball, the effort was ultimately too high
Williams shoots harmlessly wide for Boro
Fact: Manager Tony Mowbray marked Kevin Keegan on his Middlesbrough debut as a player
Sunderland now need to settle. The onus will very much be on them as an early goal would have been exactly what Boro would have hoped for
Robson volleys in the loose ball on the edge of the Sunderland area but it's a great strike; it wasn't a great shooting position, the penalty area was crowded yet he managed to shoot across the face of goal into the bottom corner. What an effort
GOAL Sunderland 0-1 Middlesbrough! Robson puts the away side ahead out of nothing!
Yet Vaughan shoots, but it's over the bar! A decent effort but it was a tight angle and he'd have been lucky to score from there. A bit too ambitious
Sunderland free-kick to the right of Boro's penalty box. A good crossing opportunity for the home side
Well defender from Bates; well-timed sliding tackle on the attacking Sessegnon
It's a decent delivery but McLean heads over. Goal-kick
Vaughan to take...
Wes Brown's come forward for it...
Good pressure from McLean on McMahon, wins Sunderland a corner
Boro fail to break following a sloppy pass from the striker Emnes
Though that's not necessarily a great surprise; one of the features of this Sunderland team under O'Neill may have been a more clinical approach, but they've certainly not been a side to play possession football
This game's yet to really settle so far. The ball's making it's way from one end to the other with relative ease, and with little substance to play
McLean stopped in his tracks by McMahon - decent defending from Boro's fullback. McLean, along with Sessegnon, have been in good form since O'Neill's arrival
And Danny Coyne then does the same for 'Boro
Mignolet collects the loose ball following an aimless long-ball from the back by Middlesbrough
Plenty of intent from Middlesbrough so far, they're pressing Sunderland and playing with a lot of tempo
Decent effort from ex-Celtic man McDonald from the edge of Sunderland's box, but Mignolet saves tidily
It's an entire ex-Manchester United back four today for Sunderland, with Bardsley-O'Shea-Brown-Richardson selected...
Middlesbrough would probably have been more confident today had Steve Bruce been in charge, but since Martin O'Neill's arrival at Sunderland they've improved considerably, making them today's favourites
And Middlesbrough kick-off. It's the 140th derby between these two...
Both teams are out on the pitch...

Series 1 - Episode 4: High Winds and Savage Seas
The crew is on full alert as hurricane season gets underway.
Morale on the warship take a dive after several weeks without a single drugs bust. However, the crew soon gets reports of a suspicious fishing vessel from an American surveillance aircraft.
The crew is on full alert as hurricane season gets underway.
The crew lives the high life.
The crew conducts a lengthy search for illicit activity off the coast of Montserrat.
So much ammunition wasted on one little boat. Such litterbugs. Is this what our taxpayer money goes to? What an embarrasement for the navy that cant even sink a civvilian boat. :-(.
i am puzzled why HMS Manchester does not have a crane to lift small fishing boats out of the water rather than having to escort one for 4 days at 4 knots back to Columbia. I think the Colombians may have duped us knowing if HMS Manchester was tied up for 4 days other drug laden craft could run the gauntlet. I would have sunk the fishing boat and helicoptered the crew back to Columbia once in range along with the US coastguards and the seized cocaine as evidence.
Good advertising for GoFast boat sellers - even the navy can't sink them when they are stationary - never mind moving at 70mph.

I agree with simplynat, also you cannot just judge it on bmi lol. good days :).
Its fine but why are naval personnel allowed to get so fat, particularly if they have to wear such short, tight shorts. How about a bmi of 25 max and knee length shorts with no vpl
i would just like to make a few comments with reference to the negative remarks on here about the service, fleet and personnel 1st we are the modern navy that is why so many countries send their Naval personnel to train here 2nd the surface fleet is coming into the 21st century and everyone who is in the Navy has a HUGE part to play including submarines and surfave fleet 3rd there is a ranking system the Skipper of the Mighty is a very down to earth family man and i will say happens to be the best skipper the mighty has had. so if you cant say anything good then please do not say anything. I am very proud of my husbands role in the Navy
I like BBC
A very enjoyable programme, look forward to Monday nights, very impressed with how the 'Go Fast' was dealt with.
Is It just me or is the METO well hot? sorry, probably not relevant.
i agree with the last comment.what incentive is there for young people to join the navy when they see the hierarchy of the navy as such upper class poncys.young people now a days dont have to put up with it. I hope the navy suffers in recruitment because of this.he days of nelson have gone get in the real world you bunch of loosers
"my AB found it hard to bring on board"does this AB not have a name.the surface world needs to get into the 21st century.the way they talk about lower ranks on this show is disgusting.the navy especially the skimmer world need to get a grip.to all young men who are watching this i urge you to join the submarine service and be respected for what you do and as a person and not be treated as a number.
When you live in a greedy, selfish world, it's easy for these complacent prat's to feel smug.
well done all the guuys n gals on the mighty manch keep up the great work
Programme will no play after the adverts, I have tried to relaunch 3 times but no luck, Can someone resolve this
Damn, After the advertisements its just a black screen! any one know how to fix ?
get rid of the damn adverts as after they stop playing the program won't resume, this is very annoying!
omg the people who protect us cant sink a little boat lol ime only joking good show
Further more the two Mcdonalds adverts are really anoying. One would be bad enough.
Well said Dhobybucket. If this was nothing to do with us we wouldn't be there. The bit where the crew of HMS Manchester sink that "go fast" is doing some good since they said that it could be a hazard to another boat passing by at night, such as a fishing boat. Maybe listen more and you may realise :). What about all of the tax payers money wasted by the British goverment on radical idea's and putting money in to europian causes when we don't get half as much back. Maybe you could complain over that instead.
Great show, but how draining is the two mcdonalds adverts b4 it lol
I think that Mr Hogan is being somewhat unfair. It may not be the same as his navy but surely it has to evolve with the times to remain an effective fighting force.The officers and ratings on Manchester would show Mr Hogan the respect he deserves as a service veteran and I'm sure that they deserve the same in return. They are as willing to put their lives at risk as he was. The boat sinking was a bit of fun on Trafalgar day and the point about their work in the Carribean being NOTHING too do with us is factually incorrect, as these drugs are not only destined for the States, but kids on our own streets in the UK.I too served in the RN for 22 years (including two three year drafts on the Manch, 82-85 and 87-90)and have enjoyed the series so far and have nothing but admiration and respect for those doing the job now.
Well said "Hawkins". My son is on the Mighty Manch and everyone knew this "Go Fast eposode" was just a bit of fun. Come on Jim, loosen up a bit - TV is entertainment and not a true reflection of our fine ladies and men, who keep you safe in your bed ! A great series and a big Thank You to everyone on HMS Manchester. Good luck to everyone, for when you move on after the decommisioning.
Crikey moses! Spare me from old sea dogs who are stuck in the past. The modern navy is better than the old navy exactly because it has moved with the times. If it had not it would have sunk without trace. As it is it remains one of the best in terms of training and man power effectiveness. So please keep your prejudices to yourself Jim and don't betray your ignorance of the modern naval era. Manchester was obviously not only a happy ship but a very effective ship and well run at that. The episode with the unsinkable speed boat was just a bit of fun - and the CO was a good sport about it. The ship, if you did not notice, then went straight on to nab some drug smugglers and goodness knows how much heroin. That probably saved countless lives of young people who all too easily fall prey to the attraction of the white powder these days. Move with the times Jim.
I love this programme! Good on them for their hard work.

The BBC must stop advertising on iplayer. This is a gross infringement of their charter!
some of these ratings are not a good example of a thoroughbed matelow, but its good to see the RN on tv anyway.
Hoping this is a big one tonight for the crew of HMS Manchester....
counting down the hours til the next one

I reckon this is the most accurate portrayal of the Senior service I have seen. It reflects the hard working ethos of the sailors as well as their sense of fun and community. If I were a younger man - I would be straight down the Naval recruiting office!
This comment was removed by a moderator
Looking forward to seeing ALL the hard work everyone does in the Armed forces But especially the SENIOR service, remember that without any of you who have or are serving we and many others would not have our freedom and security. I am very proud to have been a part of the Support service (wife )of this service and look forward to many more years of this too. I look forward to seeing you all Next week when we say our GOODBYE to " the old gal" and please take note i do not normally wear dresses lol so please make the most of it xxxxxx
We only have to wait a week to see the next episode, let's remember the deployment was seven months - so we only have a short snapshot of the patrol and just how well our ship and its crew coped with the time away! Well done Manchester and all the crew who worked as a true team for the RN ! Roll on next Monday !

It's difficult to pigeonhole the Ducati 1000SS. It's definitely no full-on sports motorcycle, but you couldn't really claim to tour on it, either. It's hugely charming, but is not really the sort of motorcycle to thrash. Best not to worry about all that and simply revel in the Ducati 1000SS' easy handling, V-twin soundtrack and retro looks.
992cc, 85bhp, 134mph, Insurance group 15
The Ducati Multistrada 1000DS is a bold attempt at tourer/town/sportster hybrid motorcycle and mostly hits the mark. Whacky styling masks a truly versatile motorcycle mixed with Italian style. Low screen, smallish tank and limited performance from Ducati Multistrada 1000DS' air-cooled two-valve engine are only slight niggles. That and its ugly face.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Ken Allen
When writers meet, a topic often pops up that intrigues me. Someone will mention an incident that makes such a salient point that the experience appears far too perfect to be true. Most writers feel reluctant to use these phony-sounding anecdotes, but as our courage builds through the years, we eventually write the story, because it's too good for proving an axiom.
Six years ago in August, one such event occurred on the highway in front of my home, but first, please listen to this quick digression to help explain a punch line.
Bicycle shorts or long tights should fit skin-tight, a safety consideration, and here's why: In the second or two before a fall from a bicycle, pedalers occasionally jump off the machine to land on their feet and not crash into a pile on the pavement, but loose clothing may catch on the saddle horn, handlebar, reflector or something and cause a needless spill.
So, we wear ultra-tight, snag-free attire that shows all our bumps and lumps, because tight bicycle shorts or long tights leave little to the imagination. So, until "the event" a half-dozen years ago, I wore bicycling underwear with the chamois-pad protection for my butt and pulled baggy gym shorts or sweat pants over the undies to hide things.
Six years ago, modesty came with a price. A hill drops past my house, and worse yet, the junction between the south corner of the driveway and highway has a short, sharp incline, making it difficult to pedal up onto the road -- a 12 percent angle that starts right from a dead stop.
After stretching and then spending a few minutes on a trainer to warm up, I grabbed my bicycle, pushed it down the driveway, checked for traffic and then pedaled out with my head down, grunting up the steep rise while staring at pavement just a foot or two beyond the front wheel.
Suddenly, a guttural growl made me look up. A pit bull 20 feet away was running down the hill straight at me. I jumped off the bicycle while grabbing for a can of pepper spray in a handlebar holster -- and missed with the grab, because my shorts caught the saddle horn and tripped me in the air.
I started to fall on the dog, which frightened the vicious rascal for a second, because he thought I was jumping on him. The snarling animal darted back for a moment, giving me a chance to leap to my feet, grab the bicycle like a huge, two-handed kitchen chopper and hammer the dog with short chops from the tires and chainrings, sending it fleeing down the road.
Nearly falling on a cranky pit bull can change anyone's mind about modesty, and that very evening on the Internet, I ordered tight bicycle shorts with a chamois pad and have worn biking shorts or long tights ever since.
Along that line of perfect anecdotes, I've seen two "mountain lions" in Maine, and the first one was classic, because it explains most sightings:
On a rainy, foggy day almost 30 years ago, my ex-wife and I were driving home from a long weekend of camping in the Moosehead Lake region. We were traveling south on Route 15/6 several miles south of Greenville, when a tawny animal with a long, club-like tail loped across the road about a quarter-mile ahead.
