Madden NFL 2005 Review
After the 2004 Vick-fest EA countered with Ray Lewis a defensive minded game - however the game is still just so easy.
Hot Forum Topics
Madden NFL 2005 is still Madden. That is to say, it's another superb game of football that continues Madden's long legacy as one of the best in the business.
As the best-selling football franchise on the market for an umpteen number of years, Madden NFL is a name that is known by the masses as representative of some of the best football you can get on a video game console. Last year's Madden NFL 2004, in particular, is revered as one of the best installments EA has ever brought out--which ultimately makes it a tough act to follow. For this year's edition, Madden NFL 2005, defense is the name of the game. Nearly all of the additions and tweaks made to this year's game fall squarely into the realm of defensive football, and they're all great new features. The downside to this high emphasis on one particular area of the game seems to be that the remaining aspects of the game (of which there are many) are generally only slightly improved or altered, if at all. In many ways, Madden 2005 is just a bit too much like last year's Madden for comfort--but it's still a truly excellent game of football all around.
If you've ever felt that Madden was simply a one-sided piece of pigskin in favor of offensive play, Madden 2005 changes all of that. The additions made to the defensive side of the ball are plentiful and all superb. The first and most entertaining addition is the new "hit stick." Essentially, when on defense, tapping the right control stick in the direction of your opponent will lay a nasty hit on him. What the hit stick translates into is context-sensitive tackling that you can control. If you're just running alongside your opponent and tap it without getting much of a head of steam, then you'll just kind of shove him. Get up a good bout of speed, and you will absolutely waylay the poor ball carrier. Using the hit stick properly will also result in more fumbles and dropped passes for the offense. However, you have to be careful, because missing with the stick leads to a supremely missed tackle, which consequently gives your opponent an easy way to dodge past you. While this sounds like it could be a little over-complicated if not done right, in this case it is done right. As a result, using the stick becomes an immensely fun way to play the defensive side of the ball.
Another big-time addition is the new defensive hot route system. Similar to the offensive hot routes, you can now redesign a defensive player's assignment at the touch of a button. Want to push a linebacker into deeper zone coverage or bring a safety in for the blitz? Simply highlight the player, and tap the right analog stick in the desired direction. You can also give better pre-snap assignments to your defensive backs now. Individual presses and pullbacks on receivers can be performed, and you can also lock a corner on to a specific receiver, thus preventing mismatches. Finally, you can now also adjust how a defensive lineman attacks the offensive line without actually having to shift your whole line. What all of this amounts to is a far more user-configurable defense that actually makes playing defense much more enjoyable and strategic. The strategy works beautifully, since the defensive artificial intelligence is generally very, very good, and it performs your changes perfectly. If you're adept at defensive playcalling and are able to make good reads, you should be able to dominate on defense--at least against the CPU.
On the flip side of things, Madden NFL 2005's offensive game isn't really all that different from Madden NFL 2004, save for a few, small changes. For one, you can now make formation shifts on the line. Formation shifts are essentially audibles that don't change the play. You can move your running back out of the backfield and into a better position for the reception, or you can overload one side of the field with receivers. You'll also notice some new option routes for receivers in this year's game. Option routes are typically highlighted on the playcalling screen and feature dotted lines coming off of a curl route, for example. These lines indicate possible directions that a receiver may run, depending on that receiver's assessment of the current coverage scheme. The intelligence of the receivers who are running these routes seems to vary depending on the quality of the player, but, as a whole, the feature seemed to work well.
However, aside from these few offensive changes, which ultimately don't amount to a whole lot more than nice, little touches, the offensive game feels almost exactly the same as last year's Madden. This isn't a bad thing, by any means, but what it does mean is that anyone who played last year's version of the game shouldn't have a lick of trouble simply blowing up the game offensively on the default difficulty. All-pro and All-Madden difficulties are something of another story, but in actuality, experienced Madden fans still shouldn't have a ton of trouble with either of them. Some of the old Madden money plays are still just as effective as ever, and there really isn't a whole lot of new "stuff" to get used to this time around. Granted, the AI defense has more tricks up its sleeve now, what with all the new defensive hot routes and shifts and such, so there is that to be taken into consideration.
On the features side of things, Madden NFL 2005 is as robust as it has ever been, though not all of the preexisting modes have seen too much in the way of changes. We'll start with the franchise mode, which has easily seen the most work. The big, new presentational change to the mode is the addition of sports radio host Tony Bruno. Billed as EA Sports Radio, the Bruno-hosted show actually plays at the start of each week, and by listening to the show, you'll hear interviews with players and coaches, hear Tony take calls from irate and occasionally idiotic fans, and hear little tidbits about things happening in the NFL. For example, we encountered one scenario where quarterback Mark Brunell was benched early on in the season in favor of Patrick Ramsey. Of course, Brunell was not pleased with the decision, which Tony was quick to report. The dialogue is occasionally a little jittery when Bruno discusses specific stuff related to your league scenarios, but the more generalized bits, like the phone calls, are pretty entertaining.

Vorondir: "It's more like a collaboration with Elrond and the Elven Broadcastin-"
Gandalf: *nudge* "Dude... let *me* handle this. I know some of the material is badly written and I most certainly do know that no one finds the Legolas-is-feminine jokes particularly amusing..."
Aragorn: *raises hand* "actually..."
Gandalf: "Hush. - but we are already facing the destroy-the-Ring-of-power deal, *tilts head right and left* and only a whole crew and full-scale production can afford to feed the hobbits adequately for the duration of the trip. And I'm sure Elrond will provide free food, and discount tickets for pink elven bubble baths at the gift shop."
Elrond: *slaps his forehead* "Whatever... just... destroy the darn ring, ok?"
Legolas: "Well... the ring *is* tacky"
Gimli: "Agreed"
Boromir: "Zzzz... Woah... wait... what?"

3. | Pavement | ||
Geek rock band. Huge influence.
See also Stephen Malkmus. Pavement is so wowee zowee!
1. | Pavement | ||
1. The sidewalk
2. A highly influencial 90s rock band that started in 1898 and then, unfortunately split in 1999. Stephen Malkmus was frontman (guitar and main vocals), backed up by Scott "Spiral Stairs" Kannberg (guitar), Gary Young (drummer in the beginning), Mark Ibold (bass), Steve West (drummer after Young left), and Bob Nastanovich (percussion). After Pavement fell out, SM developed "Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks" and Spiral Stairs started "Preston School of Industry." Though five years have gone by since the band's demise, it still releases new editions of albumns and DVDs, thus retaining their impressive legion of fans. 1. It's so hot that someone's frying an egg on the pavement.
2. | Pavement | ||
1. substance used in the production of sidewalks
2. the fathers of '90s indie rock Bright Eyes is a fruitcake, Pavement started it all!
4. | Pavement | ||
The greatest band ever to walk earth. Run from the pigs, the fuzz, the cops, the heat
Pass me your gloves, theres crime and its never complete Until you snort it up or shoot it down Youre never gonna feel free - Pavement lyrics |
5. | Pavement | ||
noun: mixture of powdered rock that hardens when water is added, often used to make sidewalks out of.
noun 2: A darn good band. Your pavement is eating all the leftover organs!
6. | Pavement | ||
In Britain, a raised pedestrian footpath on either side of a vehicular road (sidewalk). Or the material that such a path is composed of. FYI: Americans use both "sidewalk" and "pavement."
7. | Pavement | ||
A hard substance used to make a paved surface (such as a road), or the paved surface its self. Types of pavement include: concrete, asphalt, cobblestones or bricks. Also used by the British as a synonym for sidewalk. I used to live on a dirt road out in the country, but the road crew came by and put some pavement down. Now my car isn't so dirty.

do not be deterred by police removing the occupiers from the city hall lawn. the movement is not about a location. the idea that was birthed by this movement and the principles of solidarity do not mean that we HAVE to camp out. I understand about the symbolism of "taking over" the City Hall grounds but, this movement does not have to end or be slowed down or be depressed about what the pigs do.
the general assemblies can still be held in other public venues/forums. the ideas can still be brainstormed. this was NEVER about homeless people having a public place to sleep in or people with no jobs refusing to work or being lazy so they just started sleeping at city hall. that's bullshit.
let the mass media keep spreading their propaganda making it look like the occupy movements are all ending because the pigs clear out encampment sites. NOW is when the movement needs to step up. IDEAS are in our heads...not on lawns of city halls or in zucotti park or in any other locale. this is about a volcanic frustration that has erupted and the mental lava is spreading everywhere. we need to band together and use the internet to its fullest advantage. this is a tool that we can use to empower ourselves, communicate with each other, have consensus voting, mobilize anywhere, etc.

It was a hot Sunday morning last July when, right on schedule at 6:30 a.m., 61-year-old Johnny Lee Butts left his rural Mississippi home on his morning ritual, a 4-mile walk.
His neighbor, Otis Brooks, says Butts, a Sunday school teacher, waved as he passed his front door wearing a blue T-shirt.
Brooks remembers that his neighbor's skin tone was easily visible that morning. "You could tell he was black; you could see his arms." The point would become important later.
At nearly 7 a.m., about an hour after sunrise, three white teenagers were barreling down Panola County Mississippi Highway 310 in a white Monte Carlo. Two of the three teens later admitted they had been heavily drinking vodka and smoking marijuana all night. They were headed right toward Butts.
The two teen passengers said they and the driver, 18-year-old Matthew Whitten "Whit" Darby, spotted a man walking on the shoulder on the opposite side of the road.
In statements to police and also in statements given to a grand jury, all obtained exclusively by CNN, the two teenagers, a then-15-year-old and 18-year-old Tony Hopper Jr., described what happened next.
"We see a walker on the side of the road. The complete left side of the road while we are on the complete right side of the road," the unidentified teen told a police lieutenant. "And I pointed out to say, 'watch out there is a walker there...'"
The unnamed teen continued his story: "Whit slightly turns the steering wheel and I saw him. 'Watch out, don't do nothing stupid' and then he just keep turning the steering wheel and eventually before we knew it he ran him straight over."
"He didn't slow down," Hopper said in a statement to a deputy sheriff.
The deputy asked: "He never hit his brakes?" Hopper replied: "No sir."

As the new Maharaja exhibition opened at the Asian Art Museum, educators joined KQED and the museum's Teacher Program for a magical day of art, dance, and storytelling. Focusing on the work of local artist Sanjay Patel, along with countless historical gems found in the exhibition, teachers engaged with art that exemplifies "The Splendor of India's Royal Courts."
Commissioned by the museum, Patel developed his own contemporary take on the artwork of the Maharaja and Hindu mythology. A Pixar artist by day, Patel's personal artworks and books tell cultural stories through the lens of his modern, pop aesthetic. Patel was featured on KQED's Spark series in 2010. Watch the video with your students and access the accompanying educator guide on the Spark Web site, or download from iTunesU.
Besides offering dazzling opulence, the Maharaja exhibition is rich with historical context. Educators were led through the galleries by curator Qamar Adamjee, who explained what the artworks tell us about power and identity during the time of the British Raj. Teachers were also treated to storytelling by Leta Bushyhead in the galleries, and an intimate performance by Kathak dancer Rachna Nivas, who is co-director of Chhandam School of Kathak, and a member of the Spark-featured dance company founded by Pandit Chitresh Das.
Does this sound like an inspirational day to you? Sign-up for the Education newsletter to learn about future workshops led by KQED and our local museums. Visit the Maharaja exhibition at the Asian Art Museum now through April 8, 2012, and check out the museum's Teacher Programs and School Tours.

The Central Nervous System (CNS): an Introduction by David Kraft
The Central Nervous System and Human Behaviour
The following report provides a basic introduction to the central nervous system and how it affects behaviour. There are two communication systems—the central nervous system (CNS) and the hormonal system. Part 1 describes neuronal communication in the CNS, while Part 2 illustrates how human behaviour—mood, emotion, motivation, aggression and ideomotor control—is affected by neuronal systems in the brain.
Neurons are cells which transmit and process information. There are two main components of the neuron—the 'cell body', which contains the nucleus, and a long extension called 'a process'. Neurons are found throughout the body. Neuronal transmission can be subdivided into two discrete structures—the central nervous system (CNS), which represents the largest part of the nervous system, and the peripheral nervous system, which controls the communication of neurons outside the CNS. The CNS, contained within the dorsal cavity, comprises the brain (cranial cavity) and the spinal cord (spinal cavity).
Toates (2007) describes basic neuronal activity in the context of a simple reflex reaction. He points out that, when someone's foot comes into contact with a sharp object, the neurons at the skin's surface act as detectors, and, once stimulated, an electrical-chemical reaction takes place while messages are immediately directed towards the spinal cord and onto the brain.
In this example, for a split second, there is a significant increase in electrical activity in the foot—viz., the amount of voltage in a certain number of neurons in the skin of the foot has increased. The sudden change in electrical excitation, and its return to a base value, is called action potential. Action potentials travel incredibly quickly. These neurons, which convey information to the CNS through the spinal cord and then on to the brain, are sensory neurons: the brain then interprets the messages as pain. These messages, in most cases, will lead to an appropriate motor response—i.e., the person will take his foot away from the offending object. The action potential in this neuron will initiate muscle movement. These neurons are known as motor neurons.
Neurons communicate information through the synapse—a minute gap between cells. This is known as synaptic transmission. In this process, where one neuron passes on information to another neuron, the first neuron ('sending neuron') is known as the pre-synaptic neuron, while the second ('receiving neuron') is referred to as the post-synaptic neuron. It is important to note that, although the transmission of information in the brain is electrical, neuronal communication is a chemical conduction (Toates, 2007). When the action potential reaches the synapse, it releases neurotransmitters (chemical transmitter substances) which move across the synaptic cleft and interact with the specific receptors in the post-synaptic membrane (Kalat, 2000).
The chemical change at the synapse can be excitatory or inhibitory. In the first instance, excitation, there is an increased possibility of the post-synaptic neuron to exhibit action potential. However, a neurotransmitter can display inhibition; here, the second cell is less likely to show action potentials and there is a suppression of activity. One needs to be cautious when making assumptions about the link between psychological processing and neurochemical activity; nevertheless, biologically-orientated psychologists (for example, Toates, 2001; Stevens, 1996; Lefkowitz, Caron and Stiles, 1984) believe that, to a certain extent, our mood, emotion, action, motivation and body regulation are controlled by, and inextricably interconnected with, the neuronal pathways in the CNS. And, further, some reductionist biological psychologists, for example Crick (1994), believe that all psychological events can be explained in the context of neurochemical activity.
More importantly, changes in synaptic activity and neuronal function can cause one's behaviour, mood or cognitive function to be altered. The main neurotransmitter systems are the noradrenaline system, the serotonin system and the cholinergic system. Thus, alcohol and cocaine alter synaptic activity—they interfere with cognitive functioning. Some people, having drunk large quantities of alcohol, suffer memory loss, while others loose their inhibitions, and perform acts which would be previously feared. Cocaine blocks the reuptake of dopamine and leaves the neurotransmitter in the synaptic gap for a longer period of time. Cocaine users experience a 'high' when influenced by the drug; however, the dopamine depletion after a period of time can lead to an acute, but transitory, depression (Toates, 2007).
Prozac, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) blocks the reuptake of the serotonin being taken back into the neuron from which it was released, thus increasing its activity at the receptors. It is important to note that, like the monoamine neurotransmitters (MAOIs) and the tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), prolonged use of SSRIs may not be effective and can lead to homeostasis or even down regulation (Sampson, 2001; Leykin, Amsterdam, DeRubeis et al, 2007). Nevertheless, antidepressants have continued to be used in the treatment of depression and, to some extent, monoamine neurotransmitter abnormalities—be they dopaminergic, serotonergic or noradrenergic—are involved in and related to depressive syndromes (McNeal and Cimbolic, 1986). Further, extreme stress and prolonged hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis mediated dysfunction can lead to depression and a downstream of pathophysiological self-regulation (Anisman and Zacharko, 1982; Mello, Mello, Carpenter and Price, 2003).
Finally, in addressing the question, 'how human behaviour is mediated by the nervous system', having given some examples pertaining to neural regulation and transmission, it is important to clarify and draw attention to two branches of the CNS—namely, (1) the somatic nervous system (SNS) and (2) the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The SNS is responsible for and controls skeletal muscles and voluntary behaviour. The neurons of (normally) the frontal cortex communicate with the motor neurons of the peripheral nervous system, causing muscle contraction (Toates, 2007). Any damage to the frontal cortex due to cerebrovascular accidents or severe head injury can lead to impaired motor control.
By contrast, the ANS is connected with involuntary, unconscious movement and response. The ANS controls emotion (crying, laughing), the production of saliva, breathing, heart rate, sweating amongst other things. Stress, again, can cause fatty substances to sit in our circulatory pathways, producing high levels of cortisol and increased heart rates (Toates, 2007). As a result, in these situations, people sweat and get increasingly anxious: these physiological responses are all the result of autonomic, defensive mechanisms.
This report has summarised the elements of the central nervous system and has shown, with the relevant examples, how human behaviour is mediated by neurochemical/neuroelectrical activity.

Part 2: Methods Exercises
Question 1
(a) The control for perceived harmfulness—the fact that all the creatures were harmless and were found injured in the wild—was not entirely successful, because most participants considered rats as potentially threatening, injured or not.
(b) The two variables were (1) 'Ugliness' (a subjective mean score of how ugly the animals were), and (2) 'Rated Distance', (how far away the participants would keep away from the animal).
(i) The scatterplot shows that there is a strong correlation coefficient.
(ii) As the value of the variable on the x-axis increases, generally, the value of the variable on the y axis increases.
(iii) Generally, the more ugly the animal, the greater distance, on average, participants would stay away from each animal. Note ugliness was measured on subjective responses from individuals on a scale from 1-10 (1=least ugly; 10=most ugly).
(d) 0.723 is a strong correlation coefficient.
(e) The researcher would design a field experiment. In the first instance, he would ask a veterinary surgeon permission to use five injured/sedated animals for an experiment and would position these animals in the centre of a small forest. The researcher would then, one by one, measure the participants' willingness to approach each animal (in metres). Each participant, having approached each animal will be required to rate each animal on ugliness. This will be done using a scale from 1-10 (1=least ugly; 10=most ugly). Each test will be recorded at the same time each day, and each animal will show no movement. Rats will not be used in the experiment.
Question 2
(i) This experiment is a 'Between-Participants Design'.
(ii) The 'Within-Participants Design', also called 'repeated measures', is an experiment which requires each participant to take part in two separate conditions; the Piliavin, Rodin & Piliavin (1969) experiment cited measures the occurrence of altruism in 103 different trials on the 8th Avenue in New York. Different participants are involved in each trial. This is an independent sample design.
(b) The participants were the passengers travelling on the subway.
(c) The dependent variable is the number of participants who helped the victims on each occasion. The researchers measured this variable to see how it was affected by the independent variable. Perhaps, a suitable label would be, 'level of altruism'.
(d) Non-intrusive female observers recorded whether or not one or more passengers helped them (although the text intimates that passengers were either helped or not at all).
(e) The independent variable is the type of victim—an apparently disabled person or a person pretending to be drunk. A suitable label would be, 'disabled/drunk'.
(f) This was a random allocation exercise.
(g) Other independent variables that could be considered would be correlation between altruism and race—that is to say, the likelihood of people helping an African American versus a Caucasian American.
(h) The researchers did not consider any distress or inconvenience that this might have caused the unknowing participants. No feedback was given, and this might have affected some participants' willingness to travel on the subway in the future.
Question 3
(a) The researchers controlled the experiment by randomly allocating the children to groups, but by telling them that they were assigned to a specific group for a reason—that is to say, that they preferred abstract painting A or B.
(b) All the children were the same age (aged 10-11).
(i) The fact that one school was a mixed independent school and the other was a girls' school could be a confounding variable.
(ii) There were, probably, more girls in the experiment than boys. Some girls might have favoured responses from girls in both schools (over the boys in one school). In addition, some pupils might have favoured students' responses from their own school over the other school.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Purdue's high-scoring offense may be about to get a big boost.
Coach Danny Hope said Tuesday that quarterback Robert Marve and running back Ralph Bolden are close to playing and could be on the field as early as Saturday against Michigan. Both are recovering from torn anterior cruciate ligaments.
"They're closer to being ready, and I think Robert could be ready physically," Hope said. "I think we'll have to assess what his role would be going into the game because he's not taken a lot of snaps (in practice)."
When asked later about Bolden, Hope said: "I'm not exactly sure, though I think he's getting much closer and I think in his mind he feels like he's ready now."
Akeem Shavers and Akeem Hunt have been Purdue's two top runners this season. It's the first time since Marve or Bolden sustained their most recent knee injuries that Hope has indicated either was close enough to even consider playing.
Marve, now in his sixth college season, tore the ACL in his left knee for the third time during the Boilermakers' 20-17 loss at then No. 22 Notre Dame on Sept. 8.
Bolden, a fifth-year senior and last year's top rusher for Purdue, hasn't played since tearing the ACL in his right knee during Purdue's win at Indiana last November.
Hope doesn't want Marve or Bolden to rush back and he really doesn't need them to do that, either, given that Purdue's offense has productive as any in the Big Ten this season.
As expected, Purdue heads into this week's conference opener ranked second in the league in scoring offense (42.5 points) and second in passing offense (262.0 yards).
The surprise has been the efficiency of the running game, which is ranked fourth in the Big Ten at 201.5 yards per game. Hunt and Shavers have already combined to run for 409 yards and four touchdowns and are averaging 5.4 yards per carry between them. Continued...
That's pretty good for a team that has traditionally lived and died with the pass.
Yet the emergence of what may be the best ground game of Hope's tenure has changed the expectations at Purdue. The Boilermakers head into Saturday's contest with their first 3-1 record since 2007 and a chance to prove that they belong in the Big Ten title talk.
"We've got some pretty good backs back there who help complement our play-action passes," quarterback Caleb TerBush said. "I'd say right now, we're sitting pretty."
And Purdue has excelled despite what Hope described as a "disjointed" start to the season at quarterback. On Tuesday, TerBush acknowledged he's just now rounding into form.
The senior was suspended for the season opener, then struggled after a solid start against Notre Dame and had to contend with migraine headaches leading up to a two-touchdown, one-interception performance in a 54-16 rout of Eastern Michigan.
On Saturday, TerBush delivered his best game of the season by going 27 of 37 for 294 yards with four touchdowns and one pick — numbers that might have been better if a few penalties hadn't wiped out some big throws. Still, it was enough to get Purdue past Marshall 51-41 and a few more looks from Top 25 voters.
"I'd say after the bye week, I was able to regroup and that was a big thing," said TerBush, who noted he can't afford to look over his shoulder and wonder whether another quarterback, such as Marve, may be trying to beat him out.
Nobody doubts the skills of Marve or Bolden.
Hope has repeatedly called Marve a "special talent" and said Tuesday that if Bolden didn't play this season he would "get on my knees and beg him" to return for a sixth season.
But with the offense playing so well, the question Hope faces is this: Would the return of either Marve or Bolden or both mess up an offense that is in sync as it embarks on its three toughest weeks of the season? Purdue hosts Michigan (2-2) and Wisconsin (3-2) before visiting No. 12 Ohio State (5-0). Continued...
"It's really the first time we've had any continuity at the quarterback position," Hope said. "So we may not go into this week with a predetermined plan (for Marve), but he could certainly come in and make a difference if he's playing well. (Quarterback) Rob Henry is coming off an ACL injury and is just now getting back to where he's fully recovered."
As for Bolden, the concern is the same.
"You have to look and see exactly where he's at," Hope said. "What you really have to look at is if you put him in a game, is he going to be more effective than Akeem Shavers or Akeem Hunt or the other guys who are healthy?"

I know this should probably be in the Rivals Forum and the staff is certainly welcome to move it if they see fit. I just thought I'd start it here since Avril has been a talked about FA as far as the Bears are concerned.
Cliff Avril doesn't want to play tag with Lions
Defensive end hopeful for long-term deal Brad Biggs

Cliff Avril wants to be back in Motown next season. But he doesnt want to be there playing under the franchise tag.
The defensive end for the Detroit Lions is, like most players in his situation, opposed to the one-year tender even though it is expected to be worth a little more than $10 million this coming season.
I definitely dont want to be franchised, Avril said, according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. I mean, Ive been in Detroit for four years, and I wouldnt mind being there for another couple more years or whatnot. The franchise tag kind of makes it a yearly thing, and you want security. You want to know youre going to be there for a couple years so your family can get comfortable. (I always wonder why college educated men would say something like this. I think most normal Americans could get very comfortable with $10 mil even if means they had to move from Detroit or New York to BumFuck, Idaho and back again once every year. This just proves my theory that a college education doesn't make you smart. Just educated)
If the Lions do not place the tag on Avril before the March 5 deadline, he will be an unrestricted free agent starting March 13. Thats if the club isnt able to work out a long-term extension. Hed be one of the top players on the open market with a premium on pass rushers.
As Birkett points out, Lions general manager Martin Mayhew has not used the franchise tag in three years. But that doesnt mean hell keep it in his pocket this time around.
They quote-unquote dont want to use it anyway, so well see, said Avril, who had 11 sacks last season. Kind of getting positive vibes as far as for me being there again next year. Hopefully, we can meet in the middle and make it happen, because Id definitely love to be there.
It would be interesting to learn what Avrils idea of the middle is right now. Weve got a feeling that is a high number. He might just get it, though. (It would shock me if he didn't)

Leiomyosarcoma, a cancer of the uterus, can be treated with the chemotherapy drugs gemcitabine and docetaxel. The purpose of this Gynecologic Oncology Group study is to compare treatment with gemcitabine plus docetaxel to gemcitabine plus docetaxel with a third drug called bevacizumab in women with advanced or recurrent leiomyosarcoma. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive one treatment combination or the other.
Bevacizumab is not approved for leiomyosarcoma, but is used to treat advanced colorectal, lung, breast, kidney, and brain cancers. It works by blocking vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a protein that promotes the growth of tumor cells and blood vessels in and around tumors.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:

Specific media query styles ignored on browser & mobile
I'm just about done with this website (http://tinyurl.com/8ps7joa), but I am facing two issues that are bugging me...
1) The media query set
"@media screen and (max-width: 320px)"
is being ignored ONLY on desktop browser, despite me not specifying device type.
2) When viewed ON MOBILE (max-width: 320px) the style
html, body { width:320px; }
is being ignored. If you scroll to the right there appears to be white space, where the 320px should of already ended.
What is it supposed to do below 320px on a desktop browser that it isn't?
Well mostly it would help me diagnose the 2) issue, plus I'm just curious why it won't take.
If you're testing on an iPhone it should be
min-width: 320px
, notmax
.TheDoc - Yeah, I suppose I can do that. I was trying to avoid giving the desktop style sheet a media query which is what I would have to do if I'm using min-widths instead of max-widths.
If the media query isn't supposed to apply to desktop, then you can just use
. I'm not really sure what you're going for, though.This is how I have my document setup after my desktop styles...
/* Smartphones (portrait and landscape) ----------- */ @media only screen and (min-width : 320px) and (max-width : 480px) {
/* Smartphones (landscape) ----------- */ @media only screen and (min-width : 321px) and (max-width : 480px) {
/* Smartphones (portrait) ----------- */ @media only screen and (max-width : 320px) {
Why the heck is ONLY my desktop browser ignoring the "portrait styles" in favor of "landscape styles" despite me scaling the window to 320 or below?
And secondly, why is my iPhone accepting all my portrait styles EXCEPT for html, body {width:320px;} ?
Except for throwing out the "device" parameter from Scott's boiler plate, everything else is the same. http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/media-queries-for-standard-devices/

Note: Yours truly will be on vacation until mid-August. Keep up with what I'm doing at the Summer Olympic Games by checking my tweets — @MarkMaloneyHL — and my personal website: www.monkeyalarm.com.
Sun to watch: CF Brian Goodwin (6-foot-1, 195 pounds, age 21, bats left, throws right, from Rocky Mount, N.C.) is batting .313 with six homers 32 RBI and 42 runs scored over 54 games. He has more walks (40) than strikeouts (39), with 14 stolen bases and a .927 OPS. Rated by Baseball America as the fifth-best prospect in the Nationals system, he was selected in the supplemental first round of the 2011 draft (34th overall) and signed for $3 million, out of Miami Dade Junior College. He had a good 2010 freshman season for North Carolina, but then was suspended for 2011. He signed just ahead of the Aug. 15 deadline and did not play pro ball last year. He's batting .352 versus right-handed pitchers and .253 against lefties. Batting .308 at the all-star break, he's up to .321 in 21 games since.
Legend to watch: SS Nolan Fontana (5-11, 192, age 21, bats left, throws right, from Winter Garden, Fla.) signed less than three weeks ago after being selected by the Astros in the second round (61st overall) of last month's draft, out of the University of Florida. Over seven games, he's 7-for-23 (.304) with three RBI, two doubles and five runs. He has drawn 13 walks, struck out five times and is 4-for-4 in stolen-base attempts. "Nolan is a player that we are very excited about," General Manager Juff Luhnow said when the Astros signed him. "He was a proven performer from the college ranks and, for us, he represents everything that we're going to be looking for in the future. He's a player that excels defensively at a premium position and has proven his capabilities offensively as well. With Florida, Fontana hit .284 with 10 doubles, nine homers, 40 RBI, 59 runs and a .406 on-base percentage for 66 games. He helped the Gators reach the College World Series and was named to the All-Southeastern Conference Defensive Team three years in a row.

People want to live in walkable communities, panel finds
Gridlock costs us $9 billion
The future of transportation in the Golden Horseshoe is public transit – or at least, more of it. Addressing some 400 people gathered at the Western GTA Summit in Mississauga Tuesday afternoon, panel members acknowledged that the car would continue to be the primary mode of transportation in the region for the foreseeable future. However, more alternatives to automobile transportation are needed, especially as roads in the cities reach capacity.

New Jazz PoetsVarious
CD (Item 475132) Folkways, 1967 — Condition: New Copy
A seminal set of righteous underground poetry – a key bridge between the earlier work of Langston Hughes and some of the bigger spoken sides of the 70s by artists like Gil Scott-Heron or Wanda Robinson! As the title promises, there's a definite undercurrent of jazz in the work – but mostly in the subject matter of the poems, or in the riffing way the readers approach the material – since there's really no instrumentation at all to accompany the voices. There's a few names on here that you might recognize, but there's a lot more that you won't – and that makes the album a key look at this under-documented 60s scene. Titles include "Elvin Jones Gretch Freak" by David Henderson, "The Jackal Headed Cowboy" by Ishmael Reed, "Poem To Americans" by Gerald Jackson, "Poem To Ernie Henry" by Gloria Tropp, "Listening To Sonny Rollins at the 5 Spot" by Paul Blackburn, "African Memories" by Joel Oppenheimer, and "Autumn 1964" by Peter LaFarge. (Special limited CD – pressed up for us by the Smithsonian Folkways label. Comes with original cover artwork, and the CD also features a PDF file with the original liner notes and other materials from the original record release.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Watch The Amazing Spider Man full movie online free. n 2002 Sam Raimi created the first of his soon to be "Spider-Man" trilogy with "Spider-Man". Apart from "X-Men' there hadn't really been a large superhero film since the classic "Superman" films from the late 70's, early 80's. 2004 came and Raimi built upon the solid foundations of his initial creation with a near perfect, smart film made for all audiences, even those who had no love for superhero films known as "Spider-Man 2".
Watch The Amazing Spider Man online free megavideo movie. People have talked about the CGI not being up to scratch and parts of the 3D being blurry but I don't think that was the problem. The action was great, the characters were good but it seemed to be one "amazing" set piece scene after another with very little connecting them.
For some people, it's questionable for Spider-Man to get a reboot. The first film of Sam Raimi's version was just a decade ago and some considered it as a cult classic. Though, one might complain for not being too faithful to the comic books. The first film rushes a lot to the story. Watch The Amazing Spider Man online free stream.

I play the old (shaman) Ratskins in a campain and one of my Ratskins got BS 5 so I wanted to give him a gun with more power than an autopistol / Lasgun. This led to the following question:
Is it possible for Ratskins to buy (and equip) any objects bougt at the trading post as it says in their equipment entry "can be given equipment... of the special ratskin list".
Could I equib an Powersword for example, if I bought one, or as a common Item a Plasma pistol as neither are on the list?
And a further question, would I buy a Sword for 15 creds as on the ratskin list or 10 creds as on the trading outpost list.
Thanks for your help
