At the recent Build developer conference in San Francisco I presented a session on networking in Windows Phone 8. Part of the session was about using the Proximity APIs to cover peer-to-peer scenarios like multiplayer gaming, but the first half was dedicated to more traditional networking APIs – in particular, HTTP and sockets. Here I cover much of the same ground as in the talk, which you also can watch online. You can download the accompanying source code from MSDN: HTTP and Socket API Examples for Windows Phone 8 and WebApi Sample for Windows Phone 8.

The way the two major parties control the presidential debates is a perfect microcosm of how political debates are restricted in general. Though typically shrouded in secrecy, several facts about this process have recently come to light and they are quite instructive.

SRM 225 help pls
Hello everybody,
I'm new to the forum and had a question. I checked the search, couldn't find anything completely relevant to my prob. Here goes:
I bought an echo srm 225 about a year, almost 2 years ago. Ran great until about 2.5 weeks ago where it started to shut off after running for about 30 minutes. this running time shortened drastically until it eventually wouldn't run anymore. So i whipped out the tools and carb cleaner and went to work on the carburetor. took it apart and sprayed it with carb cleaner then put it back together. the gaskets and the plastic valve piece under the primer/purge body remained intact so i left them. since then i wasn't able to prime it. so today i changed the primer/purge body, the fuel lines, spark plug primer bulk, spark arrestor and air filter. cleaned out the gas tank and added fresh fuel.
It primes but now i cant get the damn thing to start lol. Anybody have any suggestions or insight to this? I know echos aren't the greatest brand for trimmers etc but buying a new one isn't really an option for me at the moment.
Thanks in advance, all help is greatly appreciated.
Update and observations: i have been able to get it to run for a second by priming it then pulling the cord in cold start until it tries to start and then pulling the cord in run. but it shuts off after a second or 2. the return fuel line which i believe is the yellow on has some air pockets in them which don't seem to go away completely with priming. also, i replaced the fuel lines, fuel and air filter and spark plug before i took apart the carburetor and have been able to run it with them before the problem got worse.
Remove the antispark screen in the muffler, if it has one. Check the exhaust port in the engine block. If carbon buildup is present, lower the piston to BDC. Remove the plug and introduce constant air, if possible, then scrape carbon from port--the introduced air blowing the carbon out. I use a sturdy dental pick to do this, taking care to avoid scratching the piston or cylinder wall.
Blow air through the muffler--if there is not a relatively free flow of air, put the muffler on a concrete block and fill the muffler with 2 stroke fuel. Light the muffler on fire with a torch and let the fire burn out. Repeat the process a couple of times. After the muffler is cool, tap on it with a large screwdriver to loosen carbon and blow out with air. If you are concerned, light the fire with a long stick.
If you have a acetylene bud for a torch set, that is an option for the fire process.
It's not often that I find a carbon loaded muffler but I did have one in earlier in the week.
thanks ill try this out
You didn't mention cleaning screen in carb an removing the needle and blowing out that hole. Neither did you mention removing the high and low needles and blowing out holes. My bet it is carb and keep in mind you never needto replace carb on echo. They can be fixed.
i took it apart again cleaned the exhaust port and torched the muffler its pretty clean now even thought its black on the outside. got some decent airflow through it. i also went over the carb again and discovered what might be the problem. My intake insulator is cracked. which i didnt notice until i took it off. so after the replacement comes hopefully it will run
Update: i replaced the intake insulator and was able to run the weed wacker. seemed to be running great for about 2 minutes but i heard some rattling which seemed to be coming from the inside.
so i took off the muffler and checked & shook it and found nothing upon putting it back on. so i started it again and this time it sounds great in cold start but when i switch to run and pull it begins to start then just dies.
any ideas guys? i feel like im so close to having it running 100% again. hope i dont have to order parts again that **** takes forever lol
So you still haven't found adjustment needles for carb?
no i didnt see anything to adjust i checked the needles attatched to the throttle assembly and the small pins and needles and 1 spring under the cover on the reverse side of the carb. nothing seems to be adjustable there.
as far as i can tell everything on those 2 assemblies operate really smoothly and there is no buildup on the filters there as well. im no expert though. i have taken them apart, cleaned and reassembled them with no problems earlier.
the only adjustment to be made as far as i can tell is the throttle screw, which was set to a good position before it broke down. im not sure if it has to be moved again.
JUst do a search for " echo carb adjustment " lots of posts/ info avail, such as:http://www.lawnsite.com/showthread.p...arb+adjustment
" But let me tell you something ,folks: You can't fix stupid! There's not a pill you can take, there's not a class you can go to. Stupid is forever!"

Variety is the name of the eggplant game, says Nancy Leson
The prettiest, to Nancy's eyes, are the Indian eggplants; some no bigger than an egg.
Seattle Times food writer
I'VE YET TO meet an eggplant I didn't like. If you don't count the mushy gray stuff-in-a-jar my Russian relations ate when I was a kid.
The fruit — yes, it's a fruit! — comes in so many shapes, sizes and hues you may not always recognize it as eggplant; even if you live here, where our many Asian supermarkets and "ethnic" groceries offer varieties that go beyond the wide-hipped Mediterranean mamas built for baba ghanoush and eggplant parmigiana.
"What is that?" asked the woman behind me in the checkout line at Uwajimaya, pointing to my bag of sturdy green striated orbs, some as small as a fig, others as large as an apple. "Thai eggplant," I told her, before trading cooking tips: "Green curry paste, coconut milk, lemon grass, Thai basil, chicken." She countered with a recipe for the slender, purple-skinned Japanese version in her basket: "Steamed with miso. Better for you!"
When shopping for eggplant, inspect for bruises and feel for heft. Buy only what you'll need, as it doesn't store well. Nor does it like refrigeration, though extras will keep several days in the crisper, wrapped in paper towels to absorb moisture.
Oh, yeah. Absorption. While eggplant sucks up oil like a sponge, it's the Zelig of produce, taking on the flavors — and adding rich texture — of whatever it's paired with: say, capers, kalamatas and sweet peppers for Italian caponata. Or lamb, onion, tomato and dried limes for Persian khoresht-e-bademjan.
The prettiest, to my eyes, are the Indian eggplants; some, in fact, no bigger than an egg. You might split and stuff these dark-purple orbs, or peel, roast, spice and mash them to prepare baingan bharta, a popular dish in Seattle's Indian restaurants.
Any purple-skinned eggplant may be used in the following curry recipe from S.H. "Skiz" Fernando, Jr., the go-to guy who took Anthony Bourdain on a "No Reservations" spice tour of Sri Lanka. It's a flavor powerhouse, and the ingredients list, while long, should not dissuade you. Served hot, or cold, it tops my list of eggplant favorites.
Aunty Manel's Special Eggplant Curry
Makes 4 servings
1 pound eggplant
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
Oil for deep-frying
3 cloves garlic
2-inch piece ginger
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
½ cup water
2 tablespoons oil
1 medium onion, sliced
2-3 fresh Thai or bird chilies, sliced
1 sprig fresh curry leaves
2-inch cinnamon stick
3 cloves
1 tablespoon Madras curry powder (see note)
1-2 teaspoons cayenne powder
1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds, ground
½ cup unsweetened coconut milk
Salt to taste
1. Wash eggplant and cut into 2-inch strips. Rub with salt and a dash of turmeric powder.
2. In a large frying pan, deep-fry eggplant until golden brown. Drain on newspaper (or paper towels).
3. Blend garlic, ginger, sugar, salt, apple cider vinegar and water in a blender or food processor to form a paste.
4. Heat the 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet. Saute onions, chilies and curry leaves until onions are translucent. Add cinnamon stick, cloves, curry powder, cayenne powder and ground mustard seeds and cook 1 minute.
5. Add blended garlic-ginger mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add fried eggplant, coconut milk and salt. Toss well and simmer 3-5 minutes until slightly reduced.

if you have sensitive, dry skin that is also prone to blackheads, blemishes, and general monthly vicissitudes, i would recommend giving this little wonder a try. my skin is smooth and glowing and actually maintained balance through my entire cycle this month- which did wonders for my emotional state too. ;)
By Mb on October 22, 2011
Instant results
Because I have sensitive skin, I've always avoided peels so I was skeptical when I read this product is appropriate for all skin types. However, I was delightfully surprised when, after a single use, this peel left my face looking immediately refreshed, bright, and radiant without any burning or redness. I love that I can feel it working when I have it on and see instant results. Brilliant.
By Yannik on January 26, 2011
Like an instant mini-vacation for your skin!
This product is magical! I have incredibly sensitive skin with rosacea so harsh products (peels, exfoliants, AHAs) always upset my skin. I was delighted to finally find a peel that works for me, leaving my skin clearer, brighter, smoother, more rested. Because of my sensitive skin, there is some redness immediately after I apply this peel so I use it before bed and wake up looking extra refreshed. After trying this product I have become a loyal Suki fan.
By Andrea on January 25, 2011
Must have...will not be without this product!
This peel is amazing!! It clears dead skin cells and reveals a new fresh complexion. I also use it for spot treatments overnight. I have never used a product that is so effecitve in reducing the redness, swelling and appearance of blemishes. This is an absolute staple in my skincare regimen and worth every penny.

U.S. stocks traded lower Friday as the Dow Jones Industrial Average recently shed 77 points to 15479, the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index lost six points to 1683 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped four points to 3600. Among the companies whose shares are trading actively in Friday's session are Zynga Inc. (ZNGA), Starbucks Corp. (SBUX) and Expedia Inc. (EXPE).
Zynga's ($2.95, -$0.55, -15.71%) second-quarter loss narrowed as the social-game maker slashed expenses, though the number of daily active users slumped, resulting in far fewer bookings. The company guided for a wider-than-expected third-quarter loss and lower-than-expected bookings.
Starbucks's ($72.87, +$4.70, +6.90%) fiscal third-quarter earnings jumped 25% as the coffee giant booked same-store sales growth across all its regions. Results topped Wall Street estimates and the company again raised its full-year earnings guidance.
Expedia's ($48.51, -$16.49, -25.37%) second-quarter earnings fell 32% as the online travel agent reported higher costs that offset growth in revenue. Results missed expectations.
Other Stocks to Watch:
Medical devices company Abaxis Inc. (ABAX, $41.99, -$7.43, -15.03%) reported fiscal first-quarter results that missed analyst expectations. In a note to clients, Raymond James said that while "Abaxis continues to have several long-term revenue catalysts...a bulk of these are creating noise in the short term as Abaxis transitions away from a direct sales model, with this disruption perhaps continuing to weigh on growth over the next few quarters."
Activision Blizzard Inc. (ATVI, $17.48, +$2.30, +15.12%) said it reached an agreement to buy back nearly $6 billion worth of Vivendi SA's (VIV.FR)(VIVEF, $21.15, +$0.00, +0.00%) holding in the company, ending months of negotiations over the fate of the videogame giant. Activision said it will buy 429 million shares for about $13.60 per share, reducing conglomerate Vivendi from being majority shareholder.
Basic Energy Services Inc. (BAS, $12.17, -$1.61, -11.68%), which provides well-site services for oil and gas wells, reported a wider-than-expected loss for the second quarter. In a note to clients, Cowen said that the company's forward outlook is more subdued than previously indicated, as Basic's management "no longer expects sequential improvement in activity and is guiding to flat results in 3Q."
Small-engine maker Briggs & Stratton Corp. (BGG, $19.95, -$1.30, -6.12%) warned its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings are expected to come in at less than half of analysts' consensus view, pointing to an "extremely slow start" to the spring lawn and garden season and a cautious approach to managing inventories.
Cirrus Logic Inc. (CRUS, $17.52, -$2.80, -13.78%) reported fiscal first-quarter revenue that missed analysts' estimates, but beat on the bottom line. The chip maker also projected current-quarter revenue below consensus and said gross profit margin will decline from last quarter.
Cliffs Natural Resources Inc.'s (CLF, $19.80, +$1.42, +7.73%) second-quarter profit fell 43% as the mining company's revenue was stung by weaker iron-ore pricing, while the bottom line was also hurt by an investment write-down charge. Still, results topped Wall Street expectations.
Deckers Outdoor Corp.'s (DECK, $54.50, -$4.37, -7.42%) second-quarter loss widened as the footwear maker recorded a decline in UGG and Teva brand sales as well as weaker margins. Revenue fell short of the company's projections.
Troubled Mexican home builder Desarrolladora Homex SAB (HXM, $2.29, -$0.91, -28.47%)(HOMEX.MX) reported it sold just 710 homes during the April-June period as it struggled to finance operations on thin cash reserves and operate under legal restrictions.
Dresser-Rand Group Inc.'s (DRC, $60.78, -$3.39, -5.28%) second-quarter earnings rose a better-than-expected 57% as the equipment maker continued to record strong growth in aftermarket bookings. But the company warned that its new-unit bookings have slowed, and second-quarter revenue missed analyst estimates. Dresser-Rand's caution follows recent comments from fellow oil-equipment companies FMC Technologies Inc. (FTI, $54.67, -$0.97, -1.74%) and Cameron International Corp. (CAM, $57.61, -$2.40, -3.99%) about delayed orders and project progression hitting the latest and near-term future results, notes JPMorgan.
Flextronics International Ltd.'s (FLEX, $8.36, +$0.22, +2.64%) fiscal first-quarter earnings dropped 54% after the contract electronics manufacturer posted about $41 million in restructuring charges, though results beat the company's guidance.
Freescale Semiconductor Ltd.'s (FSL, $15.17, -$1.13, -6.93%) second-quarter loss widened as the chip maker was hurt by debt-extinguishment and refinancing charges, masking a modest sales increase as most of the company's main product groups reported growth.

(3) Florida State Thwarts Miami's Upset Bid
Streeter Lecka/Getty Images(MIAMI GARDENS, Fla.) -- For the third time in its last four games Florida State found itself down at halftime, and as it did every other time, FSU won.
Dalvin Cook ran for a 26-yard touchdown with 3:05 remaining in the game, giving FSU its first lead of the contest and the No. 3 Seminoles held on from there as they avoid the upset and beat rival Miami, 30-26 Saturday night.
"They love each other and it gets down to that," Florida State head coach Jeff Fisher said. "They play for each other. They don't panic. This is a heck of a Miami football team. Give them credit ... but our kids just execute when they have to."
Miami (6-4, 3-3 ACC) came to play. It scored twice in the first quarter and got a field goal early in the second quarter to put them up 16-0 before Florida State did anything. The Seminoles would end up scoring on a 44-yard run by Cook but the Hurricanes answered right back when true freshman quarterback Brad Kaaya threw a 61-yard touchdown to Clive Walford. Roberto Aguayo would hit the first of his three field goals before the end of the quarter to go into halftime with Miami up by 13.
The second half was a different story.
This time it was Florida State (10-0, 7-0 ACC) that played the aggressor outscoring the Hurricanes 20-3 in route to its 26th-straight victory.
Miami was still alive with 39 seconds to play. It had the ball on the Florida State 43 but Kaaya's pass was intercepted by Jalen Ramsey to seal the Seminoles fifth-straight win over the Hurricanes.
Florida State will try to keep its undefeated record intact next Saturday when it hosts Boston College (6-4, 3-3 ACC).

Crimson Tide Dash Bulldogs Undefeated Hopes
American Football Field Yard Lines IStockPhoto/ Thinkstock(TUSCALOOSA, Al.) -- Alabama handed Mississippi State their first loss of the season Saturday as the Crimson Tide won a tight one 25-20.
Alabama confused and stymied Dak Prescott all game as they contained the dual threat quarterback and forced him into costly mistakes.
Prescott threw three interceptions on the day, none more costly than a pick thrown late in the third quarter. The Bulldogs had marched down to the Alabama 15 yard line, trailing by 13. Prescott forced a pass to his left and Crimson Tide corner Cyrus Jones was waiting on the pass: stealing possession of the ball.
Alabama's offense was methodical. The Tide ran for 124 yards and threw for 211 yards; 88 of which were caught by star wide receiver Amari Cooper. He also added a touchdown reception. T.J. Yeldon ground out 72 yards on 16 carries and punched in a touchdown.
The loss certainly comes at a bad time for Mississippi State as the college football regular season winds down and four teams will be selected for college football's inaugural playoff. The win will boost Alabama's chances of contending once again for the grand prize of collegiate football.

Diamondbacks Acquire Pitcher Jeremy Hellickson from the Rays
BananaStock/Thinkstock(PHOENIX) -- Dave Stewart's first major move as the general manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks is official as he has acquired starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson from the Tampa Bay Rays.
In exchange, the Diamondbacks are sending two minor league prospects, infielder Andrew Velazquez and outfielder Justin Williams.
"I'm definitely excited to get over there to Arizona and get back to the pitcher I was," Hellickson told the Tampa Bay Times. "I'd heard enough rumors so you kind of expect something, but I'm definitely kind of shocked. I'm definitely going to miss a lot of people over there."
This ends Hellickson's tenure with the only team he's ever known during his five-year Major League career. He started off great as he won the American League Rookie of the Year Award in 2010. Despite his initial success, he's struggled to regain his ROY form the past two seasons.
In 2013, he posted a 5.17 ERA while going 12-10. He spent time on the disabled list in 2014 while going 1-5 with a 4.52 ERA.

Rangers Reward GM Jon Daniels with Contract Extension
Brian D. Kersey/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Despite a rough 2014 season, the Texas Rangers have agreed on a contract extension with general manager Jon Daniels as well as assistant general manager Thad Levine.
ESPN is reporting both deal will run through the 2018 season.
The Rangers lost 95 games in 2014, their worst mark since 2008, and was also the last time the club finished a season with a losing record.
"I think it's really a tremendous statement by ownership for all of our people, players they want to keep the group together," Daniels said in a conference call. "Thad and I are in the press release but there are a lot of other people that are going to be impacted positively through this process."
Daniels has been with the Rangers since 2005, and was named Baseball America's Major League Executive of the Year in 2010. Levin has also been with the team since 2005.
The Rangers made it to the World Series in 2010 as well as 2011.

Adam Silver Calls for Legalized Sports Betting
NBATV/ABC News
(NEW YORK) -- NBA Commissioner Adam Silver believes it is time for society to embrace sports gambling.
Silver wrote an op-ed on the New York Times website calling for the United States government to embrace placing bets on professional sports in a heavily legislated manner; similar to the manner in which Europe runs its betting market.
From the New York Times article, Silver writes:
"...despite legal restrictions, sports betting is widespread. It is a thriving underground business that operates free from regulation or oversight. Because there are few legal options available, those who wish to bet resort to illicit bookmaking operations and shady offshore websites. There is no solid data on the volume of illegal sports betting activity in the United States, but some estimate that nearly $400 billion is illegally wagered on sports each year."
A New Jersey judge is expected to make a ruling on the legality of the state accepting bets on sporting events. The NBA, as well as the other major sports leagues have filed an injunction to ban the state from accepting such wagers.
When asked to comment on the article, Tim Frank, VP of Communications at the NBA told ABC Radio that, "the article speaks for itself and we don't have any additional comments to make on it."

Peterson Skips NFL Hearing
Andy Lyons/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Minnesota Viking running back Adrian Peterson skipped a meeting Friday with the NFL that had been scheduled in regards to potential disciplinary action.
Peterson had previously agreed to meet with the NFL even though he has been uncooperative in supplying the information the NFL has requested related to the accusations of excessive corporal punishment towards his son.
This meeting was to determine if Peterson would face further discipline from the league aside from the eight game paid suspension he had already served while resolving his court case.
According to ESPN, a league official told them that the meeting was originally scheduled for last Tuesday, but the NFLPA would not be able to attend the meeting that day.
"We informed the union that we were unwilling to postpone the hearing beyond this week given that the player and union had both expressed a strong desire to resolve this matter as soon as possible, and we had been given no meaningful reason why Adrian and the union could not appear and participate," a league official told ESPN. "We offered other alternatives for this week, but those also were not acceptable. We also have yet to receive more than cursory materials in response to our requests for information on the case. Accordingly, we went forward with the review on Friday as scheduled.
"We had hoped that Adrian would take advantage of his opportunity to be heard and present whatever information he believes should be considered before a decision on discipline, counseling and services is made. Because he and the NFLPA elected not to do so, we will have to address this based on the information currently available to us."

Matt Crafton Wins Second Camping World Truck Series Title
BananaStock(HOMESTEAD, Fla.) -- Matt Crafton finished in ninth place at Friday's final Camping World Truck Series race at Homestead, but that was enough to take home his second title in a row.
Crafton had to finish 21st or better to pull it off and Darrell Wallace Jr. won the race.
"To say I made history is definitely very, very cool, but it's all about the guys that are behind me," Crafton said. "Without them, I'm just an average race car driver at best."
The 38-year-old veteran played it safe on his way to the second title.
"I wanted to race so much harder tonight," Crafton said. "I kept asking, I was just waiting for them to say that there were like 20 trucks running at that point and then I could go. When it was five [laps] to go and I had asked again how many trucks were still in, and there were 22 on the lead lap, I said I couldn't take any chances. I know I could have went further forward, but I said it is what it is."
No other driver has won back-to-back titles in the history of the Truck Series.

Rex Ryan Fined for On-Field Cursing
Nick Laham/Getty Images(FLORHAM PARK, N.J.) -- New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan was fined $100,000 Friday by the NFL after cameras caught him yelling profanity after their matchup with the Steelers.
Despite the hefty fine, Ryan made fun of the situation.
"Yeah, I think I was saying thank you," Ryan joked early in the week. "Emotions run high in games, and sometimes I think its best (that) what happens on the field stays on the field. That's where it stems from. It's a very emotional game. Obviously, I have to do a good job of controlling my emotions and things like that. Things happen and I am sorry if I offended anybody."
According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen the severity of the fine is based around this being Ryan's third such infraction.
In 2011, Ryan was fined $75,000 for cursing at a fan after the fan yelled "Bill Belichick is a better coach than you."
In 2010 he was fined $50,000 for flipping the bird to a fan at an MMA event.

Congresswoman Wants Kurt Busch Suspended
Chris Graythen/Getty Images for NASCAR(HOMESTEAD, Fla.) -- After reports of domestic abuse have surfaced with NASCAR's Kurt Busch, California Representative (D) Jackie Speier is demanding he be suspended from all racing activities.
Speier has written a letter to NASCAR asking for his removal as well as the racing organization overhauling its domestic violence policies.
SI.com first reported the letter:
"But despite the severity of the criminal allegations against Mr. Busch," Speier writes, "I am disappointed to see that NASCAR and Stewart-Haas Racing have not taken any action. Your response to these serious allegations has been totally inadequate."
Friday, NASCAR CEO Brian France was asked about the inaction it has approached Busch with.
"What's not lost on us by any stretch is the rightful heightened awareness on domestic abuse and violence and so you can expect our policies to reflect the understandable awareness that that's not going to be tolerated," France said.
France continued by stating that it would not take action against Busch until the investigation was completed.
Busch's car co-owner Gene Haas stated before last weekend's race at Phoenix that, "He'll be in the car until someone else pulls him out."

Peyton Manning: It Won't Be Easy in St. Louis
Justin Edmonds/Getty Images(DENVER) -- The Denver Broncos will travel to St. Louis on Sunday to take on the Rams.
Quarterback Peyton Manning is well aware of the Rams defense.
"Their front has been active all season long in my opinion," Manning said. "They got really good players, a lot of first round draft choices. That's where it starts for any defense, we've got to be able to control those guys somehow and that falls on everybody."
Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders realizes that the Rams are hot right now.
"You can't take these guys lightly. Their last three games they faced San Francisco, Seattle, Arizona, and they played those guys really well," Sanders said. "This is a good football team that we're facing with a great defensive line and we're playing them at home, we definitely have to bring our A-game."
Denver comes into the game at 7-2 and is 2-2 on the road this year.
The Rams (3-6) announced this week that Shaun Hill will be the starting quarterback.

Angels' Mike Trout Named AL MVP, Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw Wins NL MVP
Tom Szczerbowski/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Two of the best players in Major League Baseball earned their due on Thursday. Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout won the American League MVP, while Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw won the National League MVP.
The 22-year-old Trout finished second in the MVP voting the past two years, but has finally won the award in just his third full season, and in unanimous fashion. He's the third youngest A.L. player ever to win the award.
Trout batted .287 with 36 home runs, 111 RBIs, and 115 runs scored in 2014.
Kershaw had won his third National League Cy Young Award on Wednesday. He becomes the first player to win the N.L. Cy Young and MVP awards in the same season since Bob Gibson for the St. Louis Cardinals back in 1968.
Despite missing all of April, the 26-year-old Kershaw went 21-3 with a 1.77 ERA, a 0.86 WHIP, and 239 strikeouts in 198.1 innings pitched.
The Dodgers went 21-4 in Kershaw's 27 starts, and were only three games over .500 when anyone else pitched.

FSU Lands Top 2016 Quarterback Recruit Malik Henry
Streeter Lecka/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- As the defending national champion Florida State Seminoles have yet to lose a game since the 2012 season, they've locked up a valuable piece for their future. Top 2016 quarterback recruit Malik Henry announced his commitment to the Seminoles on ESPNU's College Football Daily on Thursday.
Henry fielded scholarship offers from such schools as Auburn, Michigan, Michigan State, Tennessee, Texas and USC. In the end, Henry felt Florida State was the best fit.
"I felt comfortable around coach Jimbo Fisher. I think he's a great quarterback coach, he knows his stuff and their offense is explosive," Henry said. "I think I can see myself in their offense."
"It was a tough decision, but I finally realized it was Florida State a week or two ago, after talking to Coach Fisher and reminiscing about my trip there," Henry told ESPN.com. "I felt comfortable at Florida State and around Tallahassee."
Just like current Seminoles starting quarterback Jameis Winston, Henry also plans on pursuing baseball at Florida State.

Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images(CLEVELAND) -- The Cleveland Browns (6-3) will host the Houston Texans (4-5) on Sunday.
Cleveland continues to impress this year and quarterback Brian Hoyer knows the importance of this game.
"Our main goal this week is to be 1-0," Hoyer said. "We're not going to get a berth into the playoffs based off this game. We realize its one game at a time, so from here on out its seven one game seasons."
Hoyer will be going up against an old teammate -- Ryan Mallett, the starting quarterback this week, who was a backup to Tom Brady in New England.
"I can honestly say it's the strongest arm I've ever seen," Hoyer said of Mallett.
Hoyer was also in New England when Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien was the defensive coordinator for the Patriots.
"I don't think I'd be the player I am today without Billy," Hoyer said. "My time in New England, I remember him telling me 'I don't really coach Tom Brady, I just kind of guide him in the right direction and game plan', I feel like I got the benefit of his extra coaching. It really helped me out as far as a quarterback in this league."

Tom Brady: We Have 'to Put Up a Lot of Points' Sunday
Jim Rogash/Getty Images(FOXBOROUGH, Mass.) -- The New England Patriots will travel to Indianapolis to take on the Colts Sunday night.
New England quarterback Tom Brady said Wednesday that the key to beating the Colts will be putting up a lot of points.
"When you play another great offense you're going to have to put up a lot of points," Brady said. "My focus is on the other side of the ball, but you also know you're not going to be able to score 13 points and win the game."
Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is on track to break Peyton Manning's single season passing yards record and is the leader of the NFL's highest scoring offense.
"He's a great player," Brady said of Luck. "He's in his third year and he's had a lot of success. They're offense is doing a great job this year, they score a lot of points especially at home and he's kind of the ring leader."
With a win on Sunday, the Patriots will remain the top seed in the AFC.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...
