Justin Verlander was not expected to allow runs. Justin Verlander allowed runs. Whenever there's cognitive dissonance like that, there's a temptation to ask what's wrong. What did Verlander do wrong? Was his stuff lackluster? Wonky mechanics? Did the layoff make a difference? Everyone has an opinion, and a lot of those opinions were formed immediately after the fact. The guy who would probably know best, Verlander, said he was out of sync.
Sometimes, there is something obviously wrong. When the Giants hit Chris Carpenter in the sixth game of the NLCS, Yadier Molina was often sitting on the outside corner, looking for a sinker down, and Carpenter would sail a sinker up and over the plate.
This was not one of those starts for Verlander. He had his stuff. He (mostly) hit his spots. But a couple of tip-your-cap swings from Pablo Sandoval, lengthy at-bats from Angel Pagan and Marco Scutaro, and some (yes) poor luck are what did Verlander in.
Here's Sandoval's first home run:
That came on an 0-2 count. It wasn't the pitch he wanted to make -- Alex Avila set up outside -- but it was a fastball above the letters from Justin Verlander on an 0-2 count. Those … don't get hit. And it's not like that's an automatic happy zone for Sandoval; throughout the year, that's where teams wanted to set up for the strikeout. Sandoval will chase. You knew that. So does the rest of the league. Every so often, he'll get a hold of one of those pitches out of the zone, but it's not that common.
Whatever. A 1-0 lead after one inning isn't a big deal. It's how Verlander started the playoffs, after all. What did him in was the bottom of the third inning, and it wasn't bad pitching that caused the cave-in.
Angel Pagan is not a contact junkie. He'll swing and miss, especially at breaking balls. Verlander got ahead of him 0-1, and he tried to get him to chase at a breaking ball. Here's where Avila set up:
And here's were the pitch went:
Pagan didn't chase, but they had the right idea. And on a 1-2 count, they went back to the breaking ball:
That's what pitchers are supposed to do against Pagan. Verlander executed the pitch he wanted, and he executed it well.
That's another two-strike, two-out breaking ball, and Pagan scraped some neutrinos off the top to stay alive. I'd wager that when he takes that swing, he misses five times out of ten, puts it weakly in play two times out of ten, and fouls it off the other three. Don't pay attention to where I pulled those numbers from -- I keep them there for safekeeping -- just focus on the idea. You get the point. That curve, in that situation, to that hitter, usually results in a favorable outcome for Verlander. It would have ended the inning.
Here's Pagan's double:
Hmm. Probably not something Pagan learned from Tom Emanski. Again, Verlander made his pitch. That should have retired the side.
Instead, he had to face Marco Scutaro. There's a documentary starring Scutaro as a minor leaguer, A Player to Be Named Later, and it details how Cobra Commander made Scutaro in a lab after exhuming the DNA of Rogers Hornsby and rifling through the trash to find a used Joe Morgan Band-Aid. At least, I think that's what it's about. I haven't watched it yet.
Scutaro is not Pagan; he doesn't chase a lot. And this is the at-bat that really hurt Verlander. After coming back with a fastball to even the count at 1-1, Verlander threw a nasty curve. It started here:
And ended here:
Scutaro took it. Because he's annoying. There's no other way to describe him. He's the kind of hitter who will spit on that pitch. And such trickery serves only to fire Scutaro up.
The next pitch was a Verlander special, a perfect curve ball:
Scutaro took it for a strike. Unless a hitter is looking for that pitch in a 2-1 count, that's all he can do. It was a great way to put Scutaro into a two-strike count. But remember, Scutaro is annoying. A two-strike count is different for him than it is for other hitters. Verlander tried a 98-m.p.h. fastball on the hands:
Fouled off. Verlander tried a 98-m.p.h. fastball at the belt:
Fouled off. And when he figured that Scutaro could do this all day, Verlander threw a slider, the first slider he'd thrown since the second inning. But that was against Hunter Pence (four straight!), who would strike out against Wilson Valdez's slider right now, so that barely counts. The slider was unexpected, 88 m.p.h., and it had good movement. It was probably a little higher than Verlander intended, but not by much, considering it was a 3-2 count.
I love watching Scutaro's lower body on pitches like this; it's unbelievably calm, and his trigger is ridiculously quick. He'll be 37 in less than a week, you know. So ridiculous.
Verlander gave up a cheap hit with two outs, and then he ran into the wrong hitter at the wrong time. After Scutaro came Sandoval again. That was, once more, the wrong hitter at the wrong time.
Sandoval's second homer came on a 2-0 count, and you can argue that Verlander's mistake was falling behind. But think about Sandoval's reputation. Was Verlander supposed to drop a lazy curve in to steal a strike? Pump a fastball down the middle because Sandoval was going to be taking? No, the Tigers were trying to take advantage of Sandoval's aggressiveness, as almost every team does, and Verlander threw consecutive changes in the dirt. They could have been a little higher, a little closer to the zone, but the pitches were pretty close to where Avila set up.
That put Verlander in a fastball count, and in a 2-0 count, there probably isn't a better pitch to make than this:
That's a 95-m.p.h. fastball on the black. Sandoval took it the other way. He'll go the other way when he's hot, but not that often. He beat the pitch Verlander wanted to make.
With two outs, Verlander had Angel Pagan in a 1-2 count. Most of the time, you can guess how that will end up. After getting ahead of Pagan, Verlander threw 25 more pitches. A lot of them were the ones he wanted to make, but when he left the mound, the Tigers were behind 4-0.
Was Verlander as precise as he was in his last start against the Yankees? No, of course not. If he were that sharp every outing, he'd finish each season with an ERA under 2.00. But he was still Justin Verlander. He got an unlucky bounce, and he faced Marco Scutaro and Pablo Sandoval in the wrong sequence, at exactly the wrong time. They had their best at-bats of the night, if not the postseason, back-to-back.
Layoff? Fatigue? Mechanics? Out of sync? Sure, I can buy any of those. But I'd be more inclined to circle "one of those things" and not worry about his next start. Well, I'll be worrying about his next start because I'm a Giants fan. The rest of the world shouldn't worry, though. This kind of sequence happens to every pitcher, even the mythical Verlander, who still verlands better than anyone else alive.

2-4 whole fryer chickens, 1-1/2 to 2 lb. average, cut serving size pieces
1 lb. thick sliced bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
64 oz. peanut oil
4 Tbsp. sea salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. cayenne
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. paprika
First, take the chicken pieces—with the skin left on—and wash them thoroughly under cool running water.
Then after they're allowed to drain for a while (maybe 10 to 15 minutes), pat them totally dry with absorbent paper towels (this is an important part of the entire process because if the chicken is even the slightest bit wet when you drop it into the deep fat, the moisture will cause the peanut oil to splatter. When they're dry place them on a large platter.
At this point, you're ready to fry. And here's the surprisingly critical part. . . No, you don't season them at all before you cook them. These birds get seasoned only after their cooked. I'll tell you how to do that in a minute.
In the meantime, put a full 64 ounces of peanut oil (or more if needed to completely cover the chicken) into a deep fryer—you can use either an electric model or a cast iron pot. If you decide on the cast iron you'll need to use a frying thermometer.
The oil has to be heated to exactly 350 degrees. (I know chicken is usually fried at 325, but that's for chicken covered with batter.
See, the lower temperature allows the inside of the battered chicken to fully cook before the batter browns. You don't have that problem with no-batter chicken—you want the higher temperature so that you'll crisp up the skin).
When you're ready to begin, drop into the pot the slab bacon and deep-fry it until it turns crispy—it's the bacon in the oil that gives the chicken that special flavor. Then when the bacon is done, remove it from the oil, place it on a couple of layers of paper towels so that it can drain, and snack on it later while your chicken is cooking.
Now when the oil comes back to 350 degrees, gently ease the chicken pieces into the fryer. I recommend you place them into the pot according to size—breast and thighs frying first, then drumsticks , wings, and backbones frying together next.
And here's your frying time: to be properly cooked your chicken needs to fry between 14 tand 20 minutes (depending upon sizes of the pieces). . . or until the skin is honey brown and crispy.
While the bird is frying, combine your seasoning salt in your food processor.* Simply add all the ingredients together and blend them for about 30 seconds or so. Or. . .you can use my Sprinkling Spice or your favorite preblended Cajun seasoning instead.
Finally, when the chicken is cooked, generously sprinkle the pieces all over with the seasonings, and serve it piping hot right from the fryer! The ideal side with this is a pan of buttery pan-roasted potatoes, Summer Salad Jobert, and ,of course, a tall glass of iced tea so frosty it'll give you a brain freeze!
Aw, yeah, Bubba. . .this is good stuff!
CHEF'S NOTES: If you use a pot deep enough and wide enough, you can fry the chickens whole. But if not, you'll have to do 'em in pieces. Whichever way you fry them, just don't overcrowd them in the pot. Oh, yeah---and watch for splattering oil too.
Summer Salad Jobert
2-4 cups tomatoes, diced
2-4 cups watermelon, diced
1 Vidalia or Texas Sweet onion, diced
½ teaspoon Frank Davis Sprinkling Spice or sea salt
½ teaspoon granulated sugar
Splash red wine vinegar
Olive oil to toss
Several outer leaves of Romaine lettuce
Possibly the simplest salad you'll ever make, you take a medium-large bowl (preferably stainless steel) and drop in the tomatoes, watermelon, and onion. Then with a flick of the wrist, combine those ingredients uniformly.
Now add to the contents of the bowl the sea salt, granulated sugar, red wine vinegar, and the olive oil.
All you have to do now is toss the salad over and over a few times to make sure you have a total blend.
Finally, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and stash it in the refrigerator for at least a half hour to chill.
This can be served on top of the lettuce leaves as an accompaniment to roasted or grilled meats, particularly grilled pork or Cajun fried chicken.
Editor's Note: I was fortunate enough to get a copy of this recipe from Dr. Faith Jobert, my Primary Care Physician. I've made it countless times and enjoyed it with practically any entrée. Oh—and in the midst of the summer doldrums, it makes a perfect light meal all by itself. Thanks, Doc!

I have had an issue with my tips ripping when I climb at my highest level. I have not had this problem until I reached a certain level in my climbing abilities. Before I was able to climb at my highest level and not have issues, but since my progression, it has been consistent. Does anyone else have this problem? I can climb 1 full grade below my maximum ability and do fine, but whether it be bouldering or sport climbing, once I get to the top end of my abilities, my finger tips get holes ripped in them. I now have to carry sand paper to grind away any pieces of skin that even look like they will start to peel back because of the inherent risk of them getting worse and worse and eventually leading to bloody holes in my fingers!? The kicker is: I am 6'6 and 195 pounds. A lot of the stuff I work on consist of small crimps on overhung terrain... Do big climbers inherently have their skin rip quicker because of their size?
6' - 210 lbs pre-recent health problems, have worked thin crimpy 5.12's last year; no flapper problems. You might just have thin skin
Gotta lay off the lotion bro! Go chop some wood or something. But seriously, I find that people who don't do moves statically/ in control often have their hands grate and slide over whatever hold they are grabbing. Perhaps try to focus on footwork and body positioning to keep in control while climbing.
I have had this conversation with my more muscular friends (usually after a hard day at Font and a few bottles of wine) and we always determine that heavier people must have more of a problem with their skin. It's physics. But of course we little people never want to admit that. Anyways, like James says, sliding off holds is no good for your skin. There is a difference between wearing down your skin and ripping it off. It sounds like you are doing the latter, which in my experience comes from uncontrolled dynamic movement and over gripping. Also, constantly readjusting your grip can cause problems as well. Don't get me wrong, if you can control your dynamic movement it is much more effecient that static movement. But control and accuracy are key. Focus on being in total control and sticking holds well so you dont have to readjust three or four times. Also, relax and let your skin and bones work for you, not against you.
What kind of chalk are you using? I had skin issues for a while when using the loose superchalk. I think the extra drying ingredient was actually making my skin too dry and then it would cut easier. I switched to the regular block chalk and have had better results. I think its also important to wash your hands to get the chalk off after climbing so that it doesnt continue to dry your skin out.
we're the same size brah! My fingers get chopped up when I first start rock climbing in the spring after 5 months of gripping shafts with gloves on. I climb hard for a day or two, rip the fuck out of my tips, and then take it easy for a week or so until the calluses build up. as long as I continue climbing regularly my tips stay tough. if I slack off i get vagina fingers. Stay strong!
Try everything mentioned above: -less over-gripping and slippin' and a slidin' on rougher holds (control your movement as much as you can) -try changing your chalk -start using "climb on" bar/wax on your hands after washing them (this helps the skin repair itself while repelling water without thinning and smoothing the skin like lotion might) -when you pop off: you're gunna rip skin... try anticipating falls and "float" your hands up and off the holds. This take some practice and awareness: isn't always possible when you're at your absolute limit obviously.. -lose some weight.
I'm 6'3" 180lbs, and my finger tips are constantly peeling, but not ripped up like what you're describing.
I'm gonna go w/ genetics. I've got friends that don't weigh much more than 145lbs and are constantly blowing holes in their tips and know others that rarely have problems w/ their skin. This is regardless of rock type, hold type or terrain. Some folks skin just doesn't hold up to the abuse quite as well.
haha losing weight is a terrible idea at those stats
Yea, @ 6'6" 190lbs I wouldn't worry about losing weight. I think working on climbing with as much control as possible may help a lot. Maybe start working on some core exercises, since as a tall guy I bet your body sags quite a bit on the steeps. edit: Also, how long have you been climbing? Have you recently changed your climbing setting (different areas, or more/ less time in the gym)? There are a lot of factors that could contribute to this problem.
What kind of chalk are you using? I had skin issues for a while when using the loose superchalk. I think the extra drying ingredient was actually making my skin too dry and then it would cut easier. I switched to the regular block chalk and have had better results. I think its also important to wash your hands to get the chalk off after climbing so that it doesnt continue to dry your skin out. I agree 100%. My tips would split lenght-wise, really deep and painfull. To stop this, I went back to ENDO block chalk. Wash hands after climbing in warm water, with a brush. And slather on the hand cream. If you need to wash dishes in cold weather (camping) use some dish washing gloves. My tips don't split, I have very deep calouses on my tips and can crank without getting holes in my tips and pick up hot objects without getting burned. Oh-yea.... im 6.2 ... 198 and have very old skin.
I'm 6'6", 250 pounds and I don't have many issues with flappers, so I wouldn't think it would be because you're big. But I've worked with my hands all my life so my skins always been pretty tough.
You live in nearly zero humidity and you're trying to pull harder. Of course you will get splits. Sand and lube up when not climbing. Or move to florida.

The Brooding Pop Outsiders Return with a Cinematic Music Video Premiere
A young, androgynous boy explores his femininity through a hoard of trinkets hidden in the undergrowth in the accompanying video to "Annabel," a brand new track from Goldfrapp. For their sixth album Tales Of Us, Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory have stepped back from the electronic synth pop with which they made their name. "I like electronic sounds because of the iciness, but I find them quite awkward," says Goldfrapp. "Acoustic instruments have a warmth and sensuality about them." Each song on Tales Of Us is named after a different person and the album sees Goldfrapp's voice—at one moment rich, the next fragile—paired with understated guitar and strings. The intended effect is to allow the characters and narratives to breathe, which is most eloquently achieved in "Annabel," inspired by Kathleen Winter's 2010 novel of the same name which follows a hermaphrodite child who is forced into taking on a male identity in 1960s Canada. Today's short film was shot by Alison Goldfrapp's partner Lisa Gunning, who worked as Editor on Sam Taylor-Johnson's Nowhere Boy and here transposes the "endless winters" of the song's lyrics to a warm English summer. To accentuate the film's narrative, the actual music itself doesn't appear until just shy of the three-minute mark, a defiant move in an age of fast-cuts intended to grab attention on YouTube. "I don't really like the whole idea of videos," says the singer. "Even though I know I've done bloody loads of them, haven't I?"
So why the decision to make these short films?
Alison Goldfrapp: I think the whole idea of the video has changed—what it does, what it's for—and that's been great because it's opened things up. Lisa knows my aesthetic and I trust her. It's the first time I feel that we've made something that really complements the music—I don't think I've really felt like that before about video.
How does the film relate to both the song "Annabel" and the book that inspired it?
AG: I read Annabel and was totally drawn into that world, and immediately wrote the song. It's very much about my interpretation of the book. If anyone hears that song they'll just think it's about a girl, they won't know what it is about, so I was very intent on making the film. The boy is amazing, he's got a stillness and a melancholy to his face, and an introverted quality about him.
Are the themes explored in "Annabel" present in the rest of the album?
AG: It's very much about memory, identity and gender. I've always been fascinated by dual creatures, personas, people, personalities, and transformation. I think it's a theme that's pretty much always in fairy tales and horror, which I love. What struck me about Annabel is that the parents are in total denial of what their child is: this child has to choose in the end, and that's what society is making them do. Why can't you be both? I feel really strongly about that whole concept in so many things in life. All the characters in these songs are trying to figure out who they are, where they're going, and why they are who they are.
Tales of Us is out September 9 on Mute.
Crystallizing the Creative Harmony at the Heart of China's Urban Explosion
"Everyone is trying to find that new Chinese voice," muses architect Lyndon Neri in this meditative documentary by director Thomas Rhazi. China Now spotlights the fertile state of creativity in the world's most populous country, through interviews with luminaries of Chinese art, publishing and architecture. Neri appears with his wife and professional partner, Rosanna Hu, alongside Jérôme Sans, co-founder of Beijing consultancy Perfect Crossovers and former Director of the city's Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, and Shaway Yeh, the Group Style Editorial Director of Modern Media Group whose flagship title, Modern Weekly, boasts a wider circulation than the Chinese edition of Vogue. Shot in Shanghai and Beijing, the smoggy skies and steel-and-glass skyscrapers articulate the enormous scale and rapid pace of China's development, yet the architecture picked out here offers a sanctuary amidst the confusion. For Neri & Hu's award-winning boutique hotel The Waterhouse, the architects embrace the public nature of traditional Shanghai lane houses, while collective living is a feature of the Ai Weiwei-designed Caochangdi village in Beijing, where a thriving hub of artists live and work alongside farmers and migrant workers. Yet despite the country's budding energy and certain creative freedoms, China itself is unknowable for the artist, according to Yeh. "It's a place that's still in flux," she says during today's short. "It's constantly reshaping."
A Private Tour of Beatrix Ost and Ludwig Kuttner's Avant-Garde Country Paradise
Stretching across 500 acres of Charlottesville, Virginia, is Estouteville, a 19th century Edwardian ranch and home to arts patrons and textile entrepreneurs Beatrix Ost and Ludwig Kuttner. An artist, writer and theater producer, the German-born Ost, together with her philanthropist partner Kuttner, discovered the idyllic estate in 1982, when she swung a pendulum over a map of the East Coast which led her to Albemarle County. "There are endless treehouses, sculptures, and art pieces made by other people on the property," says today's filmmaker Columbine Goldsmith. "They live a life that is very community-based and focused on encouraging the talents of the people around them." Ost's idiosyncratic personal style and snow white, purple-tinted hair have earned her a cover of the New York Times Magazine and editorials for Harper's Bazaar, while Kuttner is the unlikely gourmand, using the grand scale of their private playground to grow local produce. "We really followed them around on what is more or less a normal day," adds Goldsmith, who was joined by the couple's granddaughter, Eva, as the family explored the nearby lily pond, with its very own resident snake. "Every part of the farm is a seamless fusion of wild eccentricity and homely life."

A local couple received an unpleasant surprise when they discovered a house they owned gone without warning.
Bob and Dawna Rotert of Mentor owned a house in Eastlake that was in the process of repairs. They had all the bills and taxes up to date, but a previous tenant had wrecked the place. They had started remodeling, but the city had other plans.
In February, the City of Eastlake inspected the home and cited the owners for numerous violations. However, the violations and demolition notice were mailed to the empty house, not to the Rotert's Mentor home, where their other bills from Eastlake are delivered.
"They said, 'Well that's a different department' so they didn't do any research to find us," said Dawna Rotert. "I mean, how do you do that?"
19 Action News sought out the Eastlake Mayor Dennis Morley on the matter. He said to speak to the city law director, who has not yet returned phone calls.
After the house was gone, Bob Rotert got a copy of the demolition order. There is no record of the demolition on the Willoughby Court website.
Bob and Dawna still have a mortgage on the house. Although it no longer exists, their debt remains.

Re: what is?
It's part of the spam protection that prevents robotic registration on the forum which helps keep the spam posts off the forum. It gives a math problem which requires a human input and if the question is not answered correctly the registration fails. You will see the display on all those who registered after Dennis put it into effect.

Ok. Despite all efforts made to avoid this ridiculous situation unfolding in Pheonix, with the potential sale of the Coyotes and subsequent relocation to southern Ontario as proposed by RIM billionaire Jim Balsillie, the plot is getting too thick to ignore.
In an article from The Globe And Mail today, it's been revealed that apparently the Toronto Maple Leafs are at odds with the NHL regarding how many of the Governors votes are required to move a team into another teams territory. In a nut shell, the NHL states the a simple majority would suffice while the Maple Leafs argue that a unanimous vote is required. The part that's really interesting to me is that this would qualify as "news" to anyone that Toronto (and likely Buffalo) would oppose the possible relocation of a franchise within their "territory".
With all due respect to Mr. Brunt (I mean that honestly, I'm a fan of his) it seems pretty obvious that any business would't want competition in their backyard, much less a business that thrives on public support and loyalty, we're not talking about a coffee shop here.
It seems to me that the longer this drags out the worse Balsillie is looking to the general public but I'm not sure he really deserves all the critisism. Businesses are bought out of bankruptcy all the time and clearly the NHL expanded to a city that doesn't have the hockey culture to support it. One would think the NHL would be pleased to move out of town and relocate and probably would under the right circumstances.
The simple facts are that the NHL will not act in any way to threaten the Toronto Maple Leafs profits. The Leafs are the most profitable franchise in the NHL and the leagues fortunes hang in the balance. Think about it, if you were the NHL would you allow it?

For a traditionally warm isle welcome visit the Royal Hotel in Sheerness. Dating from the 19th century, the hotel – originally named Kent House – remains perfectly placed to explore the Isle of Sheppey.
The town centre's only hotel offers good food, comfortable accommodation, a function room which is available to hire, a courtyard to the front and plenty of entertainment in the form of live music as well as Sky Sports coverage.
The Royal Hotel also hosts quiz nights and sponsors darts and pool teams and is extremely popular with locals and visitors to the isle alike. Unsurprisingly, it has been named Sheppey Pub of the Year for the last two years.

Bend Sinister: Three Tales Of Gothic Terror
by John Connolly
Explore this
Reported by
John Connolly
Three figures, each more monster than man, cast long shadows over the 19th century gothic novel: a vampiric count, seeking new hunting grounds; a wanderer, cornered after a lifetime spent avoiding damnation; and a sinister, drug-addicted uncle, intent upon securing a wealthy estate even if it means murdering a niece to do so. These three works — Charles Maturin's Melmoth the Wanderer, Uncle Silas by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and Bram Stoker's Dracula — represent the cornerstones of the Anglo-Irish gothic tradition.

text: Edge from Tomcat is a new intelligent pre-rig truss in a 30"x24" format with stacking spigots designed to optimize truck space, fitting four trusses wide. Built on the foundation of Swing Wing truss, its rotating spigots connect in multiple planes and eliminate the need for corner blocks. The interchangeable ladder feature allows the replacement of damaged ladders, as opposed to the entire section of truss, and accommodates a flat pack choice for air travel. In addition, the truss comes with an internal adjustable diagonal slider assembly that creates space for larger fixtures or extra lighting positions. An 8'-section weighs 195lbs and can sustain 3,760lbs total UDL over a 40'-span. The truss comes in 8' and 10' lengths and meets ANSI E1.2-2006. A patent is pending on the rotating spigots.

Others may disagree, but I think this route is classic. The slab start is awesome, even though you're pissed every time you have to climb it (at least I was). It's hard. After the slab, you get a decent rest before climbing through a pretty difficult boulder problem out the steepest part of the roof. Another little rest helps you recover before finishing up on insecure holds. Brilliant. This is the one route that haunts me for not redpointing before moving away....
This route is located to the left of The Helix, or two routes right of Black Magic.

Hi everybody!
I've been reading this forum for a long time. I've already had two Booklets. First was the US version (beginning of 2010) and now I've been using another one, this time bought in EU.
I know it's slow but still it offers the combination of features that I really like so I hope I'll be able to use it for some more time.
Recently I've decided to try new release of Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Installed it without problems and have been running it for last couple of days.
There's one thing missing though and that's the thing I really liked and used a lot before - the fn+F10 key functionality. I've installed the "Nokia_Booklet3G_HotKey" before all other software, I've tried various combinations. No success. I can only use fn+F10 to turn on and off BT+3G+WiFi all together.
Here's why I decided to ask the Nokia Booklet 3G community for help and advice. Might be someone else tried to use Windows 8 and found a solution?
10-03-2012 7:03
You not the first with this issue and I have asked a friend of mine in Nokia to look into that. Have two questions though, what is your screen resolution and secondly does your 3G modem work on the Booklet after the install of W8??
11-03-2012 4:15
11-03-2012 9:56
Thanks mate, going to give it a go then. The 3G modem functionality is essential to me so if it works with that driver - I'm happy
If this post has in anyway helped you, help others here in the community by clicking on the white star below and if appropriate - "also accept as solution"

I ever installed win 8 cp on my booklet too, but the graphics driver can not be installed on
actually i like win 8 more than win 7, win 7 run slow on my booklet,,
any advice guys ?

For video I installed the last driver from Intel Support site - intel GMA 500 v.2030 for win7 using compatibility mode. Download it from here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.asp
13-03-2012 8:27
It works. You also get this small tray app for managing your connection and SMS messaging.

You may notice that at 1280x720, the metro apps may not start, due to low resoloution errors.
Set your screen res to 1024x768, the x768 is the minimum res its looking for.
Once your set to 1024x768, you should be good to go.
Absolutely correct on installing the driver. I downloaded the INTEL GMA 500 driver directly from Intel, as it is light years better then the old driver you can download from Nokia, and then run it in Win 7 Compatibility mode
My Nokia Function key driver doesn't even install, I get some install script error. It'd sure be nice to have it. As an alternative, ATT has its communication suite which can be used to manage both the WiFi (optionally) and the 3G modem

Dear co-sufferers,
I have found a way to have hotkeys working: the trick was to run hot-key installer as administrator, in windows 7 compatibility mode

Hello EASYV,
long time ago, but thank you! The graphics driver you mentioned works very well and I was looking a long time for a solution.
best regards

Welcome to NSD Forums, dharmawick_94.
The Nokia Booklet 3G was released a couple of years ahead of Windows 8 and Nokia did not release certified drivers for it as expected.

Addressing the Kurdish Peshmarga Forces in Zummar area, near Syrian border, Kurdistan Region's President Massoud Barzani said that the majority of the Iraqi army consisted of the Kurdish Peshmarga forces at the beginning of the establishment of the Iraqi Army. This, however, has changed dramatically, the president said.
Barzani said that both then and now Kurdish policy has been based on avoiding confrontations between Peshmarga Forces and the Iraqi Army.
"We are trying to make this policy successful," he told a group of Peshmarga soldiers now stationed in areas close to Syrian border keeping a watchful eye on developments in neighboring Syria.
"I am here to thank you for the love and readiness that you showed while the region was about to face a crisis as a result of an irresponsible decision made in Baghdad," Barzani told the Peshmarga Forces during his visit, referring to the deployment of the Iraqi army personnel to the Syrian frontier with Kurdistan Region.
He said that they are trying "their best'' to protect both Iraq and Kurdistan Region.
"If someone thinks that he can challenge Peshmargas, or attack Kurdistan Region, they should know that Peshmarga Forces are always prepared for self sacrifice," Barzani said, signaling strong warnings to Bagdad. "We have agreements and coordination. Whenever things go according to the agreements and coordination, Peshmargas are part of the Iraqi defense system, but in case of an act that infringes Kurdistan Region and Peshmargas, this is in no way acceptable."
President Barzani praised the Peshmarga forces and said he appreciated their "unselfish act' during Ramadan and near the Eid al Fitr when the Iraqi Army deployed troupes.
"I would like to thank you on behalf of the Kurdistan Region's people for your work. Most of you were fasting and even spent the Eid far from your homes and your families protecting your own country."
Barzani also said that they wanted to seize this opportunity and invited the Iraqi Army officers to be present at this date, without success.

vacation rental description
Picture a beautiful warm day at the Rhode Island shore---after soaking up a few rays at the beach, walk back to your rental home, stow the beach gear in the storage room and head for the outside shower or the other two inside showers. As the men bond around the grill on the rear deck, others in the party may enjoy a glass of wine and relax on the front upper deck overlooking Greenhill Pond.
After viewing a beautiful sunset over the pond, you gather in the Great Room—some playing a board game on the large dining room table while others view a Red Sox game or DVD on the two leather sofas. For those that want a little solitude, pull a chair onto the lower front deck, relax and read in the small middle floor sitting room, or check your email on the free WIFI.
Gather the next morning and pull up a stool for breakfast around the island in the Great Room. If you plan to skip the beach for a day, consider taking a walk to the end of the twin peninsulas or visit one of the following attractions: historic Newport mansions; Block Island; Mystic Seaport/Aquarium; Connecticut casinos. Going out to Rte. 1 in either direction for about 20 minutes leads you to great restaurants, fast food, supermarkets, and shopping centers. You can't beat the Rhode Island shore!!

Our voyage did not originate in Miami as planned. Captain Apostolos Bouzakis had reported seas of 20-25 feet heading for Miami with Tropical Storm Noel, so he was rather astute in caring for our comfort, and turned his ship towards Tampa. Even though most of us had to board a bus in Miami from the port for the ride to Tampa, in the end it was well worth it for we had smooth sailing leaving the Gulf side of Florida. Captain Apostolos Bouzakis made a smart decision. Our boarding once reaching Tampa was over the top!!!
The welcome check-in took just a few minutes, and we walked up the covered gangplank where we were greeted by photograghers and port staff, making sure we were all ok after the bus ride. We were immediately greeting by the hotel director and other staff officials. My husband, Al, and I were handed a nice glass of cold champagne and asked for our stateroom number. Immediately a cabin attendant took our bags and led us to our rooms (that was a first in my cruising career)! I didn't want to go, because my mouth was wide open, looking at the beautiful woodwork, and wrought iron fillagre on the banisters. The carpets spotless, the artwork gorgeous! Maybe it was the interior of the Titanic??? Beautiful!
THE ROOMS We had a balcony room mid ship. At first the room appeared small, and we didn't think everything would fit, but drawers and cubby holes kept popping up and before you knew it we unloaded 6 suitcases and still had room under the shelf in the bathroom. Put your empty suitcases under the bed. We brought some wine with us too, so we had extra to drink if we needed it. OUr cabin #7063 has a butler,(Vazio was wonderful)& cabin attendant. Also free shoe shines which Al loved. The beds are fabulous! You will love them, they are all brand new and so cushy! The robes are soft and cuddly, and always the butler leaves a small treat in the evening for you.
We toured the ship, about 1/2 the size of the Century, met our Events Coordinator & Captains Club coordinator:Melanie Mowat. She is helping us plan our WEDDING on board the ship. We had 28 cruise critics planning on attending our renewal:We were the grand prize winners of Celebrity's Newlywed not so Newlywed game. Our prize included a vow renewal package which was TO DIE FOR!!!Huge bakery heart shaped cake, champagne, Andreas, cruise director, had the most beautiful vows I have ever heard in my life, even the captain came to watch. The kleenex box was passed around freely! We were the first couple for the ship since becoming Azamara Quest.All the cruise critics came, and Melanie put it all together. Everything was perfect. Thank you Melanie!!She was on Galaxy last year 12/06 T.A.

Atlanta Hawks head coach Michael Budenholzer says he was NOT driving drunk when he was arrested for DUI last night ... and says he has some semi-convincing proof to back his claim.
Budenholzer was arrested in Atlanta around 10:30 PM Wednesday night ... after a Georgia State Trooper noticed the NBA coach's car had a broken taillight.
During the stop, cops say they noticed a strong odor of alcohol on Budenholzer's breath -- and asked him to submit to various field sobriety tests, including a breathalyzer.
According to the incident report, obtained by TMZ, MB agreed to everything BUT the breathalyzer ... and then proceeded to perform poorly during the other field sobriety tests.
During the arrest, Budenholzer reportedly admitted to having consumed 1 glass of wine earlier in the evening. He was arrested and hauled to a nearby jail.
Budenholzer was eventually released from custody around 3:45 AM this morning (5 HOURS after the initial arrest) ... and his lawyer says the coach went directly to a local hospital where a blood test revealed his B.A.C. was less than .01.
Budenholzer has since pled not guilty to DUI -- and released a statement saying, "I apologize to the fans and to the Hawks organization for any negative attention this incident has brought upon my family and the organization while the legal process evolves and I contest these misdemeanor charges."
Ice Cube
The Atlanta Hawks Are
Kobe Bryant is right ... Atlanta Hawks player Dahntay Jones is a dirty cheater who knew what he was doing when he hurt the Black Mamba on the court last week ... at least according to Lakers superfan Ice Cube.
Cube -- decked out in Lakers gear -- was at LAX this weekend when we asked the rap legend about Kobe's claim that Jones cheap-shotted him during a fadeaway jumper last week ... causing Bryant to injure his ankle.
"It's kinda whack when you gotta cheat to win," Cube said ... saying, "But [Kobe's] a champ, he'll come back. That ankle will be strong."
But we didn't just talk basketball with Cube -- the rapper gave us some thoughts on the new pope ... said one thing that MIGHT be considered a diss toward the old pope. Check out the clip.

When purchased in 2007 by Trump, the land was a conservation area, with sand dunes 4,000 years old and a mixture of ocean-shore environments. "We've had tremendous support from the environmentalists," Trump says to a TV interviewer, which is a bald-faced lie. We see spokesmen for U.K. environmental organizations who are bitterly opposed, and indeed his building permit was turned down by the local council before being restored by the Scottish Parliament on the grounds that it would bring jobs to the sparsely populated area.
But that isn't what's most fascinating about Anthony Baxter's one-man indie documentary. It's Donald Trump's almost joyous rudeness. The Donald loves playing a bad guy. One of his targets in the project are a few small farm homes that he fears would "spoil the view" of his luxury hotel guests. Having stayed at hotels in the area, I found the sight of farms added to my pleasure.
But listen to Trump describe Michael Forbes, a man who has refused to sell his strategically located land to the robber baron: "The man lives in a pig sty. He lives in garbage. He's a pig." Say what? Has Trump ever visited the Forbes farm or been inside his home? Not bloody likely. What we see is a farm, with machinery, outbuildings, chickens, ponies and no pigs. I imagine Trump's idea of beauty is the antiseptic tackiness of the tinfoil towers he erects around the world.
Trump's operation moves with cruel efficiency. Tons of sand are bulldozed from a virgin beach and piled up to create a small mountain blocking Forbes' view. His water and electricity are cut off, and when he visits the Trump site office, he is dismissed curtly. ("Is that an expensive camera?" Trump's man asks the director Baxter.) The local police later arrest Baxter and hold him in jail for four hours, on general principles. From what we see, they were unprovoked.
We visit and meet Forbes, whose meticulously trimmed mustache alone should raise doubts about his piggish existence — all right, I'll say it — especially in contrast to what David Letterman describes as "the thing that lives on Donald Trump's head." We also visit Susan Munro, who shows old movies of her father, a fisherman who lived on the very same spot, and David Milne, another indignant local. Local outrage inspires a protest march on the area. There's an uproar when a local university grants Trump an honorary degree; the school's former principal returns his own degree in protest. Trump proudly marches in with two hired bagpipers who hilariously accompany him everywhere he goes.
The underlying message is that if you are rich and powerful enough, you can run roughshod over tradition and private property rights and buy your place at the table. One 18-hole course of Trump's new development opened in July, but construction on the 450-room hotel has been halted. Trump's reason for the delay is priceless: He threatened to move the development elsewhere because the windmills of an offshore wind farm will spoil the view of his guests. He announced his decision at about the same time he commenced his bid for the U.S. presidential nomination.
Do the math. To tee up at the Trump course will cost around $310, about the same as the world's first and most famous golf course, the Old Course in nearby St. Andrews. How many rounds of golf do you need to sell to pay for a luxury hotel? Can he make a go of the project without the hotel? Construction remains on hold.
In medieval times, the nobility enjoyed something called droit du seigneur, their right to deflower their serfs' virgin daughters before their marriage. These days the nobility has been replaced by billionaire bullies, who continue to screw us serfs.

– Four Medalists Highlight Roster That Includes Four USA Basketball Newcomers –
Colorado Springs, Colorado • January 20, 2013
USA Basketball today named the roster for its 2013 USA Junior National Select Team that will take on the World Select Team in the 2013 Nike Hoop Summit, and the USA will be led by two coaches and four players with prior international basketball experience, including USA medalists and prep standouts Aaron Gordon (Archbishop Mitty H.S./San Jose, Calif.), Rondaé Hollis-Jefferson(Chester H.S./Chester, Pa.), Jabari Parker (Simeon Career Academy/Chicago, Ill.) and Julius Randle(Prestonwood Christian Academy/ McKinney, Texas).
The U.S. roster also features 2012 USA Basketball Men's U18 National Team Training Camp participants Aaron(Travis H.S./ Richmond, Texas) and Andrew Harrison(Travis H.S./Richmond, Texas), as well as USA Basketball newcomers Kasey Hill (Montverde Academy/Eustis, Fla.), Demetrius Jackson (Marian H.S./Mishawaka, Ind.), Bobby Portis (Hall H.S./Little Rock, Ark.) and Noah Vonleh (New Hampton School, N.H./Haverhill, Mas.).
The 2013 Nike Hoop Summit will be played at 4 p.m. (PDT) on Saturday, April 20 at the Rose Garden in Portland, Ore. Tickets are now on sale, with reserved courtside seats for $25 and $50 and general admission $5 in advance and $10 on game day. Tickets are available through the Rose Quarter Ticket Office, by calling 877-789-ROSE (7673) or by visiting www.rosequarter.com or www.nikehoopsummit.com
The Nike Hoop Summit, the country's premier annual basketball game for high-school boys, features America's top seniors playing against a World Team comprised of elite, international players who are 19-years-old or younger.
"I think first and foremost, looking at so much international basketball experience on this team, with the guys having played on the last U16, U17 and U18 teams, their familiarity with the international game is really going to be a benefit to us, and then so many of the guys actually having played with each other will be a benefit to us as well." said USA head coach Mike Jones (DeMatha Catholic H.S., Md.), who was an assistant coach in last year's Nike Hoop Summit, which saw the world team top the USA 84-75. "I learned a lot last year. I know our guys will be able to look at the World Team roster and recognize some of the players and have respect for their talent. We are going to be focused on making sure the USA wins. We don't want to lose two in a row."
Jones also served as an assistant coach for the 2011-12 USA Basketball Men's Developmental National Team, helping the USA to gold at the 2012 FIBA U17 World Championship and 2011 FIBA Americas U16 Championship, as well as assisting the East Team to a bronze medal at the 2004 USA Basketball Men's Youth Development Festival.
Assisting Jones on the U.S. sideline will be former NBA player and University of Virginia star Cory Alexander(Boo Williams AAU, Va.), who played on three USA Basketball teams. He earned a gold medal with the USA at the 1993 FIBA U21 World Championship, a silver medal at the 1992 FIBA Americas U20 Championship and a bronze medal with the South Team at the 1991 U.S. Olympic Festival.
Parker is the only two-time USA gold medalist on the roster, and he was named the 2011 USA Basketball Male Athlete of the Year. He earned a gold medal at the 2012 FIBA U17 World Championship after averaging 12.6 points and 4.8 rebounds per game despite a foot injury that limited him to just five of eight games, and he earned tournament MVP at the 2011 FIBA Americas U16 Championship after averaging 15.4 points and 6.4 rebounds per game to help the USA to a gold medal. Gordon started alongside Parker in all five games of the 2011 U16 championship, averaging team bests of 17.0 points and 11.2 rebounds per game.
The third member of the 2011-12 USA Men's Developmental National Team along with Gordon and Parker is Hollis-Jefferson, who twice has represented the USA in 3x3 competition. This past September, Hollis-Jefferson collected silver at the 2012 FIBA 3x3 U18 World Championship after the USA fell to Serbia in overtime of the gold medal game, and he earned an individual bronze medal at the dunk competition. In 2011, he helped the USA finish in eighth place at inaugural 2011 FIBA 3x3 Youth World Championship.
Representing the USA at the 2012 FIBA Americas U18 Championship this past summer, Randle won a gold-medal after averaging team highs of 14.2 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.
Seven U.S. team members have signed a National Letter of Intent for the 2013-14 NCAA season. Aaron and Andrew Harrison will play at Kentucky, Hill will attend Florida, Hollis-Jefferson is headed to Arizona, Jackson signed with Notre Dame, Portis committed to Arkansas and Vonleh will go to Indiana. Parker verbally committed to attend Duke in the fall, and two players – Gordon and Randle – remain undecided.
All 10 players rank among the nation's top 30 boys basketball players and seven are ranked among the top 10 by three different scouting services. ESPNU ranks Parker at No. 2, Andrew Harrison at No. 3, Randle at No. 4, Aaron Harrison at No. 5, Gordon at No. 7, Vonleh at No. 8, Hill at No. 9, Portis at No. 11, Hollis-Jefferson at No. 17 and Jackson at No. 21.
Scout.com has Parker at No. 2, Andrew Harrison at No. 3, Aaron Harrison at No. 4, Randle at No. 5, Gordon at No. 6, Hill at No. 7, Vonleh at No. 9, Hollis-Jefferson at No. 12, Portis at No. 16 and Jackson at No. 26; whileRivals.com lists Randle at No. 2, Parker at No. 3, Aaron Harrison at No. 4, Andrew Harrison at No. 5, Gordon at No. 6, Vonleh at No. 7, Hill at No. 9, Portis at No. 17, Hollis-Jefferson at No. 19 and Jackson at No. 30.
Six members of the seven-player Naismith Boy's High School Player of the Year Early Season Watch List released on Dec. 14 were U.S. Hoop Summit team members, including Aaron and Andrew Harrison, Hill, Hollis-Jefferson, Parker and Vonleh.
In the most recent USA Today Super 25 rankings (as of Jan. 14), Hill and his Montverde squad ranked No. 2, while Parker and Simeon ranked No. 11. Hollis-Jefferson and Chester High School ranked No. 22 last week but out of the top 25 this week. Additionally, Gordon and Archbishop Mitty and the Harrison twins at Travis High School have spent time in the top 25 this season.
Following the 2011-12 high school basketball season, Parker earned Gatorade Boys Basketball National Player of the Year, and he listed on the USA Today All-USA 2012 High School Boys Basketball first team, along with Hill, who earned All-USA second-team honors.
The 2009-12 USA Basketball Men's Developmental National Team Committee selected the 2013 USA Junior National Select Team roster. Chaired in a non-voting position by Sean Ford, the USA Basketball Men's National Team Director, the committee also includes: AAU appointees Ron Crawford and Boo Williams; National Federation of High Schools representatives Eric Flannery and John Olive; and athlete representative Kermit Holmes (1999 USA Pan American Games Team).
The 2013 World Select Team, which is expected to be announced in late February or March, will consist of 10 or 11 players age 19-years-old or younger from FIBA's five geographic zones: FIBA Africa, FIBA Americas, FIBA Asia, FIBA Europe and FIBA Oceania, with the approved sanctioning of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), the world governing body of international basketball.
Nike Hoop Summit HistoryThe premiere event for high-school-age players, an incredible 140 former USA and World Select Team members have been drafted by NBA teams.
In 2012, the first three picks were former U.S. Nike Hoop Summit players, including Anthony Davis at No. 1 (New Orleans Hornets), Michael Kidd-Gilchrist at No. 2 (Charlotte Bobcats) and Bradley Beal at No. 3 (Washington Wizards). Since the first Hoop Summit in 1995, six alumni have been chosen No. 1 in the NBA Draft, and all told, 46 players have been selected among the first 10 draftees. Additionally, five players from the Hoop Summit have gone on to earn NBA Rookie of the Year honors, including Kyrie Irving (2012), Tyreke Evans (2010), Derrick Rose (2009), Kevin Durant (2008) and Elton Brand, who shared the honor in 2000.
As of January 2013, 68 former USA players and 17 former World team members were active in the NBA, and 25 former Hoop Summit players are currently competing on the collegiate level, including 19 past U.S. players and six former World team athletes. USA BasketballBased in Colorado Springs, Colo., USA Basketball is a nonprofit organization and the national governing body for men's and women's basketball in the United States. As the recognized governing body for basketball in the U.S. by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) and the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), USA Basketball is responsible for the selection; training and fielding of USA teams that compete in FIBA sponsored international basketball competitions, as well as for some national competitions.
USA teams are the current men's and women's champions in the Olympics, men's and women's FIBA World Championships; women's FIBA U19 World Champions; men's and women's FIBA U17 World Champions; and the men's and women's U18 and U16 FIBA Americas Championships; as well as the women's FIBA 3X3 World Championship and 3x3 U18 World Championship.

Here's a look at a key matchup heading into Sunday's battle between the Bears and Buccaneers.
Bears RB Matt Forté vs. Buccaneers' run defense
The Bears have been inconsistent running the ball, and the Bucs have also been very up-and-down defending the run. Yet we know the Bears' offense is far more effective when Forté is picking up solid yardage on first and second downs and keeping the Bears in manageable third-down situations.
The Bears have had a lot of success in recent weeks running to the right side, so the left side of the Bucs' defense should be prepared for the Bears to come after it. Forté doesn't have elite speed, but he has a quick burst and can stop and start and change direction to elude defenders.
Tampa Bay's run defense was gashed by the 49ers in Week Five — Frank Gore was highly productive in that game, and San Francisco gained 213 yards on the ground in its 48-3 blowout win — but the Bucs held the Saints to 70 yards on 20 carries in Week Six.
The Bucs' front seven has to tackle well and avoid getting washed out of plays by FB Tyler Clutts and Chicago's offensive linemen, who are gaining confidence after the win over Minnesota, in order to keep the Bears' offense from establishing the ground game.

NEW ORLEANS Jed York spoke for 40 minutes at the 49ers' team hotel Thursday morning, covering topics that ranged from Chris Culliver's controversial remarks about gays in the locker room to hosting a Super Bowl in Santa Clara to Alex Smith's future with the team.
The 49ers' CEO also spoke about the pivotal decision to change starting quarterbacks his coach, Jim Harbaugh, made in November.
York said he might visit Harbaugh in his office every few weeks or so. He did so before the game against the New Orleans Saints on Nov. 25.
" Just to see how he's doing and to see if he needs anything," York said. "And I said, 'What's your gut on this week? What are you thinking?'
"And he said, 'My gut's Kap.' And I said, 'OK. I can argue it either way at this point of the season. I understand what you're doing and I support you.'
"I said, 'Is there anything you need from me?' And he's like, 'Nope. Let's go see how he plays.' "
York said one of his uncle Eddie DeBartolo Jr.'s best pieces of advice was to stay out of the way and let the football experts handle that part of the franchise. He said Harbaugh didn't ask his opinion on the matter.
"And I wouldn't have said one way or the other," York said. "He's our head coach, he's going to make those decisions. And, obviously, it was a controversial decision at the time. But that's what leaders have to do. You have to make decisions that don't always make sense to everyone else in the moment, because they're looking three or four chess moves down the road."
York also said he met with Culliver, who he said was contrite, and who stressed to York that he was not prejudicial against any groups.
"All I said was, 'It's up to you to live up to your apology,' " York said. " He made a very bold statement that he wants to get to know the LGBT community. And I said, 'It's up to you. You can either live up to that, and if you don't, people are going to vilify you and probably rightfully so.'
"And I don't think that's what Chris is going to do. I think he's going to step up and be a man about it."
Nifty 50? As far as hosting a Super Bowl, the 49ers are in the running for Super Bowl L, which will be played in February 2016, or the 2017 game, Super Bowl LI.
The NFL will decide on both in the spring. York said San Francisco would be the focal point of the event but that other Northern California cities would play a role. He said that the Great America theme park, which is next door to the new stadium, could be opened in its offseason for the event.
Adios, Alex? York insisted the 49ers would have the salary-cap space to afford Alex Smith at backup quarterback next season, and he said there would be a need for him, too.
"It's pretty nice to have two quarterbacks that you feel you can win with," York said. "Is there going to be a demand for a quarterback that's played as well as he has the last couple of years? Yeah. Does he want to go start and play? So there are a lot of things that go into it. And we'll sit down after the Super Bowl and figure out what's best for everybody and how to move forward."
Et cetera Practices for the 49ers and Ravens at the New Orleans Saints' facility overlapped by 10 minutes. Ravens coach John Harbaugh didn't want to practice again at Tulane's facility, so he asked to move to Metairie. His brother had no problem with the arrangement. "Just cooperating spirits," Jim Harbaugh said.
During the field-goal-kicking portion of practice, the 49ers players yelled and otherwise tried to distract David Akers. He made all of his kicks.
There was only one change to the 49ers injury report. Safety Dashon Goldson was added with a foot injury but went through a full practice. Linebackers Aldon Smith (shoulder) and Ahmad Brooks (shoulder) were limited.
