[life] Family Watching Movie White-Knuckles It Through Unexpected Sex Scene … 'Sources said the awkward experience was made even more unbearable by the fact that the family had been exchanging casual remarks throughout the film, but then fell completely quiet once it became clear the two characters on their television were about to have sex. Though the silence was reportedly grueling, the Schaeffers nonetheless hunkered down, gripped their seats tightly, and showed no outward acknowledgement of the onscreen intimacy. The scene, which lasted 19 seconds, is reported to have felt much, much longer.'

[ceres] Ceres: Dawn images reveal a 5 km tall mountain. … some analysis on an odd mountain recently found on Ceres by the orbiting Dawn spacecraft … 'Mountains on airless bodies like asteroids (or our Moon) can be made in several ways as well. Giant impacts have mountain ranges around their rim, created by rocks lifted up at the edge of the crater. But this mountain on Ceres is alone. Smaller craters can get central peaks, where the rock rebounds upward after the initial impact (similar to the drop that splashes up in the center of a glass when you pour milk). But there's no obvious crater around this mountain. Maybe other forces filled it in, or subsequent impacts eroded it away. There's evidence of landslides on the surface as well, which could eventually erase the features of a crater. This seems most likely to me. We've seen other craters on Ceres with central peaks, but I don't think any yet this size.'

[web] The Dark Web as You Know It Is a Myth … a look at what The Dark Web actually is … 'Of course, there is a technological space called the dark web, where the servers of websites are hidden behind a veil of cryptography, and users also enjoy strong anonymity protections. But that space is nothing like the fairy tale that has been concocted around it; that of a colossal ocean of digital stores selling exclusive products, where criminals are free from prosecution. That characterization is not true. Instead, the dark web is a small collection of sites that reflect the limited number of good, bad, and downright weird humans that use it. Doctors can give impartial advice to drug users, who come out of the woodwork because of the anonymity awarded to them by Tor; Chinese citizens can discuss whatever they like and circumvent The Great Firewall, and, yes, the dark web is also used to host some seriously depraved sites, such as extreme pornography. At the moment, the space is probably used mostly for criminal purposes, but its relevance to the world of cybercrime and other domains has been grossly exaggerated.'

[tv] The Formula For An Episode Of Murder, She Wrote … the very specific formula to creating an episode of the long-running crime series …
JESSICA: Oh, it was quite simple, really. The moss. When I saw you at the funeral earlier, the camera focused weirdly on a piece of moss on your shoe. I happened to remember that this moss only grows in one place in the world, the crime scene, and it only sticks to murderers.

[web] How Minions Destroyed the Internet … On the rise and rise of Minions … 'Wait, no, wait I just got it. I figured out their appeal. Minions are basically emoji. They're yellow, they run the emotional spectrum, they function as a malleable shorthand for almost indescribable feelings. Like, do you know what the nail art emoji means? It means a million different things. So does the prayer hands emoji. (This is an emerging area of academic study.) Okay, so… Minions are emoji with arms, legs, and goggles.'

[lego] On Sorting Lego … a look at the various stages of sorting a Lego collector goes through. '23. You now have what, to a stranger, would be a bizarre sorting system. You have some parts thrown together in bins by type. You have some parts split out with a separate bin for each part. You have some parts split out with a separate bin for each color. You even have some parts split out by how old they are: red 1x2s from the 60s, red 1x2s from the 70s, new red 1x2s that hold really well, and all the other red 1x2s. And you have an alphabetized pile of large buckets for the overflow pieces and another one for the 1st stage of sorting. 23.5. That stranger would also think you were certifiably insane. Or at least retentive. 24. You start looking for a new house. One with a large basement.'

[kubrick] Rejected 'The Shining' Poster Designs From Saul Bass, With Stanley Kubrick's Notes … fascintaing look at Kubrick's process … 'While the final result is the iconic, yellow one-sheet, there were a number of iterations, and we can now see the rejected ones. Drawing from different aspects of the film, including the maze, the hotel, and the family unit, there's some striking imagery, but we can see why Kubrick went with the one he did.'

[obit] Patrick Macnee, Avengers star and symbol of 'Swinging Sixties' dies … RIP Patrick Macnee. His obituary is well worth reading…
He was born Daniel Patrick Macnee in London in 1922 and raised at first in Berkshire, where his father Daniel, known as Shrimp, was renowned in racing circles, but also in pubs and bookies – "a genius with a horse but not so good with human beings", in his son's words. Macnee would go on to base much of the Steed persona on his father, who at dinner parties disconcerted fellow guests whom he suspected of being a pacifist by pulling an unloaded gun on them, and was deported from India – where he later settled – for urinating from a balcony on to the heads of high-ranking Raj officials.

[war] The man who sleeps in Hitler's bed … a visit to the world's biggest collection of Nazi memorabilia and a profile of the man who built it … 'Later, among engine parts and ironwork, I came across a massive bust of Hitler, sitting on the floor next to a condom vending machine ("I collect pub memorabilia, too," Wheatcroft explained). "I have the largest collection of Hitler heads in the world," he said, a refrain that returned again and again. "This one came from a ruined castle in Austria. I bought it from the town council." "Things have the longest memories of all," says the introduction to a recent essay by Teju Cole, "beneath their stillness, they are alive with the terrors they have witnessed." This is what you feel in the presence of the Wheatcroft Collection – a sense of great proximity to history, to horror, an uncanny feeling that the objects know more than they are letting on.'

[web] 20 years of space photos: an oral history of Astronomy Picture of the Day … the inside story of APOD – the remarkably long running daily website … 'Before we posted our first image we debated this, Jerry and I, as to whether we were going to run out of images in a few days and then say, "Well that was stupid." But actually there were many images around even back then. And NASA's Ranger series took tens of thousands of images of the lunar surface, so if we had to we could just start putting up other pictures of the lunar surface. "Here's another crater that's a little bit different than yesterday's crater." But we never ran out of images. We always had interesting images, and as time went on we were sent more and more images. And now we reject 10 to 1, so for every image you see we've rejected 10.'
June 24, 2015
[web] The Internet Doesn't Exist … an attempt to describe just what the term "The Internet" actually means … 'What we call the Internet—and what web writers so lazily draw on for their work—is less a hive mind or a throng or a gathering place and more a personalized set of online manoeuvres guided by algorithmic recommendations. When we look at our browser windows, we see our own particular interests, social networks, and purchasing histories scrambled up to stare back at us. But because we haven't found a shared discourse to talk about this complex arrangement of competing influences and relationships, we reach for a term to contain it all. Enter "the Internet." The Internet is a linguistic trope but also an ideology and even a business plan. If your job is to create content out of (mostly) nothing, then you can always turn to something/someone that "the Internet" is mad or excited about. And you don't have to worry about alienating readers because "the Internet" is so general, so vast and all-encompassing, that it always has room. This form of writing is widely adaptable. Now it's common to see stories where "Facebook" or "Twitter" stands in for the Internet, offering approval or judgement on the latest viral schlock. Choose your (anec)data carefully, and Twitter can tell any story you want.'

[books] Grey by EL James … a digested read from John Grace … 'I instruct her in the basic rules of our relationship. I will buy her a laptop, a BlackBerry and a new car and in return she will sign a contract promising to allow me to abuse her in whatever way I want. She has two days to consider my proposal. The two days pass in agony as my enormous cock waits for its answer. Even when I am donating billions of dollars to charitable causes in Darfur, I can barely concentrate. I have to have her. She is the ONE. My enormous cock concurs.'

[cats] A Letter from Ayn Rand to the editor of Cat Fancy magazine in 1966 … 'You ask whether I own cats or simply enjoy them, or both. The answer is: both. I love cats in general and own two in particular. You ask: "We are assuming that you have an interest in cats, or was your subscription strictly objective?" My subscription was strictly objective because I have an interest in cats. I can demonstrate objectively that cats are of a great value, and the charter issue of Cat Fancy magazine can serve as part of the evidence. '

[tv] Watching the detectives: why the police procedural is more popular than ever … a look at the current line-up of Police dramas on TV … 'The Wire was the anti-procedural; as Simon put it in his pitch for the show, it was "not so much [about] the dogged police pursuit of the bad guys but rather a Greek tragedy". The Wire, however, did not kill the procedural. The procedural simply borrowed The Wire's aesthetic. The detectives may trudge sombrely from one improbable homicide scene to another, week in, week out, as the blue lights circle bleakly, but we, the viewers, sink gleefully into our sofas ready to drink it in like cocoa. It's a parlour game, a ritual. Our cosy lives are thankfully not this unremittingly tragic and grim, but it's strangely cathartic to pretend that they are. Granted, this or that series will pill the sugar with a dose of realism here and there but with noble exceptions, the detective procedural is the very definition of fiction.'
June 20, 2015
[tv] Nic Pizzolatto, the Man Behind True Detective … amusingly over-cooked profile of the True Detective creator … 'Dennis Potter was the true progenitor, Nic told me. "He did The Singing Detective and Pennies from Heaven and Lipstick on Your Collar and Karaoke and Cold Lazarus and Blackeyes, all this great stuff. That was your TV auteur right there, and there's still never been any TV like it. The Singing Detective is not for everybody, but it's still the best thing ever done on television. Before we had a notion of a show-runner, that's the guy who wrote a different mini-series every couple years. That was somebody making art as ambitious as any art being done but using this popular fallen medium of TV."'

[property] This is the most incredible property deal in London right now — there's just one small problem … a bargain flat in desirable location with a remarkable history! … 'It even has an awesome private balcony, which is rare in London flats at this price. One prospective buyer remarked to John that the property had "killer views".'

[movies] The Cult of 'Jurassic Park' … a look at the long-term fascination with Jurassic Park from academic and amateur fans …
This is getting us close to the soul of Jurassic Park, so I make one last call to Phil Tippett. Phil — an Oscar-winning effects man who helped dream up Jabba the Hutt — was Jurassic Park's dino-director. Phil says what makes Jurassic Park click is that "it's a movie from a different age."
June 17, 2015
[weird] Has the Internet solved the mystery of this 40-year-old radio signal? … what's the story behind Russian radio signal UVB-76? … 'It's easy to dismiss the signal as pre-recorded, or a looping tone. But what listeners quickly realized was that UVB-76 is not a recording. The buzzer noise is generated manually. The reason for hearing telephone conversations and banging noises in the background of the signal is that a speaker creating the buzzer is constantly placed next to the microphone, giving the world an eerie insight into whatever cavern the signal originates from.'

[politics] What's the worst British law of all time? … 'Last but certainly not least is another Act from the early days of the New Labour government, which is notable for one reason above all others: It made it an offence to detonate a nuclear bomb. What is the punishment for such an act? Life imprisonment. During its time in office, New Labour passed a remarkable volume of legislation. There was one new offence for every day Tony Blair was in office and the passing of a criminal justice bill became a de facto annual event. This law gives some indication as to why that might be. One imagines other laws, not least of all the law against murder, might have covered it. But apparently not.'
June 14, 2015
[web] A Complete Taxonomy of Internet Chum … some analysis of those grids of advertisements you see on web pages… 'Like everything else on the internet, traffic flowing through chumboxes must be tracked in order for everyone to be paid. Each box in the grid's performance can be tracked both individually and in context of its neighbors. This allows them to be highly optimized; some chum is clearly better than others. As a byproduct of this optimization, an aesthetic has arisen. An effective chumbox clearly plays on reflex and the subconscious. The chumbox aesthetic broadcasts our most basic, libidinal, electrical desires back at us. And gets us to click. Clicking on a chumlink—even one on the site of a relatively high-class chummer, like nymag.com—is a guaranteed way to find more, weirder, grosser chum. The boxes are daisy-chained together in an increasingly cynical, gross funnel; quickly, the open ocean becomes a sewer of chum.'
June 13, 2015
[movies] Christopher Nolan explains Inception's ending… 'The film-maker explained that he saw the concept of reality in the film – and real life – as entirely subjective. So DiCaprio's character doesn't wait to see if the spinning top drops because he no longer cares to distinguish between a possible harsh reality and a potentially wonderful dream.'
June 12, 2015
[space] Ceres: Weird white spots are still weird. … What are the White Spots on Ceres? … 'You can bet every penny you have planetary scientists are poring over these images and examining every detail. These bright spots are unique; no other such high-contrast feature is seen on airless, rocky bodies. We know Ceres has a lot of water ice under the surface, so it's not too far out to think that may be what we're seeing. A recent impact could've dredged up ice (we've seen that on Mars, in far smaller craters), splashing it around the crater, and also caused that darker spray. But right in the exact center of that big crater (which is clearly much older)? That seems like a big coincidence. Could it be from some sort of vent?'
June 11, 2015
[music] How the compact disc lost its shine … A look at the rise and fall of the CD … 'The CD was introduced to the British public in a 1981 episode of the BBC's Tomorrow's World, in which Kieran Prendeville mauled a test disc of the Bee Gees' Living Eyes to demonstrate the format's alleged indestructibility. It caught the public imagination, but Immink found the claim puzzling and embarrassing because it was clearly untrue. "We should not put emphasis on the fact it will last for ever because it will not last for ever," he says. "We should put emphasis on the quality of sound and ease of handling." (Paul McCartney recently recalled the first time George Martin showed him a CD. "George said, 'This will change the world.' He told us it was indestructible, you can't smash it. Look! And – whack – it broke in half.")'

[fifa] How a curmudgeonly old reporter exposed the FIFA scandal that toppled Sepp Blatter … some fascinating background on the FIFA scandal … 'The best way for Americans to imagine Andrew Jennings is to roll Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein together, then add a touch of a Scottish burr and plenty of flannel. Jennings was born in Scotland but moved to London as a child. His grandfather played for a prominent London soccer team, Clapton Orient (now called Leyton Orient), but Jennings had little interest in the sport. He did, however, have a nose for journalism.'

[politics] The undoing of Ed Miliband – and how Labour lost the election … More on the downfall of Ed Miliband … 'In a car park in Hastings, Miliband unveiled an 8ft 6in slab of limestone, into which had been carved Labour's six election pledges. The mockery was so intense that the location of the "Ed Stone" became the subject of frenzied media speculation after the election. "The only reason it got through 10 planning meetings was because we were all distracted, looking for a way to punch through on the SNP," one adviser said.The stone's demolition, in the event of a Labour loss, had been agreed at the time it was commissioned. After the election, the party drew up two plans for its disposal: one was simply to smash the stone up and throw the rubble onto a scrap heap. The second was to break it up and sell chunks, like the Berlin Wall, to party members as a fundraising effort. The first attempts to destroy the stone had to be postponed when the media tracked its location to a south London warehouse. There are claims it has been destroyed, but even Miliband's close advisers cannot confirm its fate'

[games] Behind a pizza-slice smile: the dark side of Pac-Man… a look at Pac-man's dark heart … 'Researcher Alex Wade draws comparisons between Pac-Man's inescapable maze and the Labyrinths imagined by Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges – the exits are just entrances to other parts of the whole. Similarly, comic writer Zach Weiner, has pictured the game as a sort of terrifying Kafka-esque nightmare, in which a man wakes up to find he has been reduced to a living mouth that must consume to survive. This ties in with another interpretation of Pac-Man as the ultimate modern shopper, trapped in a cycle of meaningless consumption and endless binging on electronic treats in a sterile technological landscape. "He is the pure consumer," wrote Poole in Trigger Happy.'

Calorie Counter - Macros
The key to achieving weight goals is to keep track of your calories and, more importantly, the distribution in macro nutrients.
Macros will help you do just that! This calorie counter focuses on macros (as the name suggests!) more than just calories - because it is important!!
Are you doing carb cycling? "Macros" are great for carb cycling. When you set up your goals, you are able to differentiate between days, so that you can set up your macro goals excactly to your schedule.
***The app features a dynamic database, which learns about your entries. Create a food item once, and the app will remember it for you forever. After you created your food for the first time, it is incredibly quick to look up and add to your food diary.***
Get a instant overview when you open the app, with the easy to decode progressbars which tell you just how much of each macro nutrient you have eaten today, as well as your progress in weight change.
Look at your food diary for the past days, and see how you keep on track with beautiful looking graphs.

Below is the poem entitled Fools Be Wise which was written by poet
Bout. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Naldeem Bout
such folly that it seems not odd
for mortal man to live as gods.
To rule by reason of himself
and glory at his mortal works.
How boastful, proud and arrogant
that God be our mannican
to move and posture as we please.
How dare we make a man of Him?!
That God be mindful is a grace
and no effort can that gift replace.
If man can not deny his breath
to deny its giver, is certain death
so lets repent
our ways to mend,
so folly will not be our end.

Why is America immune to the charms of soccer? Perhaps because Hollywood has never paid it any atten
Why is America immune to the charms of soccer? Perhaps because Hollywood has never paid it any atten
by Boyd Farrow Published
While baseball, horse racing and American football have inspired classic movies, soccer has languished in Hollywood's lowest league: unsexy, uncinematic and unsellable. Hardly surprising, considering that in Hollywood, sporting success is a metaphor for the American dream, and that the high point for the US football team came when it beat England 1-0 at the 1950 World Cup in Brazil.
It is harder to explain the dearth of decent films about soccer by British directors. They have, after all, triumphantly employed male ballet dancers and strippers as conduits for working-class frustration - but football fans have been fed the buffoonish Mike Bassett: England manager, the loutish When Saturday Comes and the misfiring There's Only One Jimmy Grimble. And don't forget Sly Stallone high-fiving Bobby Moore in the Anglo-US Second World War yarn Escape to Victory. The three most memorable roles in home-grown soccer pictures were written for girls: Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley in Bend It Like Beckham and Clare Grogan in Gregory's Girl. As Nik Powell, executive producer of Fever Pitch, the 1997 film of Nick Hornby's novel, muses: "Rarely will you find a great story, and even then, it is almost impossible to recreate football's authenticity on screen. If it's not the real deal, fans don't want to know."
However, this year an unprecedented number of films about soccer are to be released, suggesting that film-makers have finally woken up to the appeal of the planet's most popular sport.
Although Americans are yet to embrace professional soccer truly, the Junior League's "soccer moms" are part of the cultural landscape. The summer release Kicking and Screaming, in which Will Ferrell coaches his son's team, marked soccer's first appearance in a Hollywood movie. And the recent Game of Their Lives, which relives the US 1950 triumph, is positively misty-eyed: it begins with a veteran journalist reminiscing about the game to the real-life football prodigy Freddy Adu.
September marks the transatlantic release of Lexi Alexander's Green Street, in which Elijah Wood swaps hobbits for south London football fans. Like many film-makers, Alexander says Bend It Like Beckham, which grossed $32m in the US, was the turning point for the sport in cinema. "It empowered us," she says.
Now due to begin shooting in the US is The Goal, executive- produced by that "Arsenal fan" Spike Lee, in which Mario Lopez (the sitcom star) escapes the slums of Rio for the US to become the world's best player. At the same time, the internationally acclaimed director Walter Salles is making Linha de Passe, about four Brazilian brothers who attempt to become soccer stars. Also in the pipeline is an untitled German portmanteau directed by Kenneth Branagh, Emir Kusturica, Jean-Jacques Beineix and Werner Herzog, while Michael Apted is visiting eight countries to make a documentary about football and globalisation.
The most ambitious project is indisputably the $100m-plus trilogy Goal!. Part one, featuring cameos from Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham, will be released in the UK on 30 September. Goal! is the brainchild of Mike Jefferies, a dotcom entrepreneur once linked with a takeover bid for Liverpool Football Club. Jefferies hopes to mine soccer's global appeal with the tale of Santiago, a Mexican kid plucked from a Los Angeles barrio who goes on to shine in the English Premiership. A sequel set in the Spanish Liga will begin shooting in October, and the conclusion will be filmed at the 2006 World Cup in Germany. All three flicks are being jointly produced by Jefferies's Milkshake Films and the superstar Mel Gibson's Icon Films. "Part of our ability to get the cash that can do justice to football is that we were able to tap into the fact that the sport is significantly 'hot enough' in the States," says Jefferies. "Every studio head we went to see had kids who play football. They understand the potential is enormous."
Because of this, a shadow is looming over both the artistic integrity of the trilogy and the image of the beautiful game. The ugly truth is that the real stars of the project are not the actors or the footballers, but the sponsors. Goal! is endorsed by Adidas and football's ruling body, Fifa, both of which are salivating over the prospect of new markets. In return for "access in the broadest sense", Jefferies has promised Fifa huge worldwide exposure, particularly in the Americas and Asia. Tellingly, on the one occasion Beckham has mentioned the film, he said: "There's a new movie called Goal! that I'm involved in, as it's to do with Adidas."
Adidas, which sponsors Beckham (as well as the other Real Madrid galacticos who appear in Goal!), and Coca-Cola, the film's second-biggest investor (which watched him sign a $10m, five-year deal with Pepsi last year), have much at stake. Jefferies estimates that the main sponsors have pledged tens of millions of dollars towards the production, committing as much as $160m to marketing the first film alone. This year, Adidas happens to be sponsoring Major League Soccer, America's burgeoning professional league, under a ten-year deal.
Herbert Hainer, chief executive of Adidas-Salomon, says: "It wasn't hard to persuade the producers they are attractive to a world audience. There is a mutual benefit for the film and us." Gushing about Goal!'s marketing potential, Jefferies explained: "This is an opportunity for film to present itself [to advertisers] as wet cement." Talking to Screen International, Matt Barrelle of Milkshake went further: "We try to work out films from the point of what the [sponsorship] market would demand, and not the other way round, which is the norm in the film industry."
Adidas's involvement has led to some commercial decisions that seasoned Hollywood power-brokers could only dream of. Although, as a Liverpool lad, Jefferies would have loved to shoot Goal! at Anfield (the plot calls for a northern English club to sign the budding star), it was actually shot at St James's Park, because Newcastle United is kitted out by Adidas. Last year, Newcastle duly announced it would tour the US this summer to coincide with the film's release in one of Fifa's target growth markets - prematurely, as it turned out, as a more thorough assessment of the club's Stateside fan base nixed the promotional trip.
In the second instalment, our hero moves to Real Madrid: another Adidas client. And, of course, Fifa stages the World Cup, backdrop to the final film. The official sponsors listed on the Goal! website include Fifa, Adidas, Newcastle United, Real Madrid and Major League Soccer.
This sort of commercial clout must leave the trilogy vulnerable to questions about creative control. Adidas, which routinely spends millions of pounds on slick television commercials featuring its indentured football stars, could hardly have been displeased when the producers hoicked the award-winning cinema verite director Michael Winterbottom off the project, replacing him with Danny Cannon, best known for the glossy US television series CSI: crime scene investigation.
Then there is the thorny issue of rival sponsors - many of the teams our hero plays against in Goal!. The contracts with them are likely to insist that each player wear his side's real shirt, emblazoned with the sponsor's logo. A willingness to give competing brands visibility for the sake of authenticity would be a true test of Jefferies's assertion that Goal! will not consist of three 90-minute commercials masquerading as entertainment.
Part one of Goal! is released in the UK on 30 September

Arizona Diamondbacks
Several candidates vying for D-backs' fifth rotation spot
It wouldn't be a Major League spring training without some position battles going on, and there's an interesting one brewing at the back end of the Arizona Diamondbacks' starting pitching rotation.
Ian Kennedy, Wade Miley, Trevor Cahill and free agent signee Brandon McCarthy will likely fill the first four spots in the rotation for manager Kirk Gibson this season. After that, it gets interesting.
"I think we've got two young kids and (Randall) Delgado right now," Gibson said Monday as his pitchers and catchers reported to Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. "Right now, it's (Tyler) Skaggs, (Patrick) Corbin and Delgado -- there's some others in there too, but it's definitely a competition spot."
Skaggs is probably the most intriguing of the candidates. The 21-year-old lefty got his first taste of "the show" last season, starting six games for Arizona and posting a 1-3 record with a 5.83 ERA. But Skaggs pitched well in the minor leagues in 2012, going 9-6 with a 2.87 ERA in 22 starts between Double-A Mobile and Triple-A Reno.
He's also rated as the Diamondbacks' top prospect by Baseball America and ESPN's Keith Law sees Skaggs as the 12th-best prospect in all of baseball (and tops among left-handed pitchers).
Corbin is another highly-touted lefty who showed versatility while pitching in 22 games with Arizona last season. Corbin went 6-8 with a 4.54 ERA in 17 starts and five relief appearances for the Diamondbacks, but also notched a 5-2 record and a 2.84 ERA in 13 minor league starts with Mobile and Reno.
Delgado, who came to Arizona in the deal that sent Justin Upton to Atlanta, is also young -- only 23 years of age. In 2012, the right-hander went 4-9 with a 4.37 ERA in 17 starts with the Braves. Heading into the 2012 campaign, Delgado was rated as Atlanta's third-best prospect by Baseball America.
Gibson did mention "others" being in the mix, and that could very well mean 27-year-old right-hander Josh Collmenter, who has made 35 starts over the last two seasons, could be vying for the fifth spot as well. But Collmenter has shown to be very effective out of the bullpen, posting a career 1.31 ERA and a very good 1.042 WHIP in 24 relief appearances.

New Orleans Hornets hand Grizzlies stinging defeat
NEW ORLEANS -- Forget the number of times the Grizzlies lost the basketball.
Too many to count. Or so it seemed.
Forget the amount of defensive lapses. That's what the New Orleans Hornets kept track of as they routinely pick-and-rolled the Griz into surrendering the paint.
Just put the Grizzlies' 88-75 loss Sunday night to the Hornets out of your mind. Griz guard Tony Allen even flung the box score into a bucket of ice at his feet afterwards in the visitor's locker room in New Orleans Arena.
It was a cold night, indeed.
But the Grizzlies' ended up with a bigger concern than their 21 turnovers and 35-percent shooting in a bad loss to the lowly Hornets. Center Marc Gasol suffered what is believed to be a hyperextended left knee midway through the fourth quarter. The 7-footer was examined by the Hornets' team physician and then went for an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to determine the extent of his injury.
Gasol sat on a trainer's table after the game with his left knee wrapped in ice. He did walk off the court without assistance. Teammate Zach Randolph followed Gasol into the locker room as play resumed.
"I just went through that," Randolph said, referring to a partially torn MCL that kept him out most of this season. "I was just praying he was all right. I think the big fella will be fine."
The Griz surely hope so. They did nothing Sunday to help a bid for the fourth seed and home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Losing Gasol for an extended period would be a serious blow to making a postseason run.
Gasol crashed to the floor after scoring a layup while Hornets guard Xavier Henry was called for a blocking foul.
Gasol remained on the floor for several minutes before Randolph and reserve center Hamed Haddadi helped him to his feet. He went to the bench for the timeout, and returned to attempt the free throw.
Gasol didn't complete the three-point play. Allen then immediately committed a foul so that Gasol could leave the game with Marreese Speights taking his place.
The Grizzlies were already scheduled to remain in New Orleans Sunday night and fly to Minneapolis this morning. So Gasol's status will be known long before Memphis plays on the road Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Griz coach Lionel Hollins didn't want to speculate following the loss to the Hornets, which really had few redeeming qualities.
"It wasn't a tough one," Hollins said of the defeat. "It was nasty, ugly. There was nothing tough about it. ... Our defense -- period -- was atrocious. We just didn't must up the energy we needed."
The Griz simply looked uninspired and disinterested from the opening tip. They stayed close in the low-scoring, sloppy affair until nine minutes remained in the fourth. Memphis trailed 66-62 but then watched New Orleans manufacture a 12-4 run capped by Marco Belinelli's 3-pointer.
New Orleans' real daggers came on easy layups and dunks in pick-and-roll action or off Memphis mistakes. The Hornets scored 28 points off the Grizzlies' turnovers.
"Our focus wasn't there," Allen said. "We didn't respect those guys and match their level of intensity. They were the physical team. They got to the 50/50 balls. Good teams find ways to get over the hump and we didn't."
Turning point
The Griz actually built an 11-point lead after Gilbert Arenas' 3-point shooting powered a 14-2 run in the second quarter. O.J. Mayo capped the spurt with a fastbreak layup that gave Memphis a 34-23 advantage. But it was the Grizzlies' inability to put away the Hornets that proved costly later. The Griz turned the ball over and sent the Hornets to the foul line. New Orleans overcame 30-percent shooting in the first half and trailed just 37-33 at the intermission. The Hornets still believed they could win at that point.
Hot topic
All eyes remain on Randolph as the forward continues to work toward regaining his dominance in the paint. However, it was a strange outing for Randolph. He grabbed a team-high 13 rebounds but didn't look to shoot much at all in 23 minutes. Randolph attempted just two shots and picked up three assists.
"I was just moving the ball and picking my spots," Randolph said. "I can be more aggressive but I thought I rebounded the ball well."
Rudy Gay entered the game averaging 22.5 points over the past six games. His offense is the only thing that kept the Grizzlies competitive in this one. Gay finished with 24 points. It was the 29th 20-plus scoring outing for Gay this season. The forward remains efficient and versatile on offense, too, given he made 9-of-17 shots, including a pair of 3-pointers. Gay's four turnovers were the blemishes on his stat line.
That's what he said
"This was one of those trap games. They didn't have much to play for but they played hard." -- Gay, talking about the Hornets' effort.
Roster and rotation
There's only one way to describe what the Griz got out of their primary guard play. They had the Three Blind Mice in Mike Conley, Tony Allen and O.J. Mayo. The trio combined to make just 5 of 24 shots. Mayo missed his first four attempts and finished 0 of 7 from three-point range with six turnovers. Conley's foibles earned him a quick hook in the third quarter. Allen's responsibility was slowing down Eric Gordon, who led the Hornets in scoring. Allen, Conley and Mayo scored a combined 20 points -- just two more than Gordon.
The other guys
Gordon has led the Hornets in all but one of the seven games he's played in this season. He finished with 18 points on 5-of-9 shooting.
"I'm trying to help this team and I'm looking forward to what comes in the future, Gordon said. "The future's bright here."
Tom Benson, the owner of the NFL's New Orleans Saints, had to feel good about purchasing the Hornets from the NBA for $338 million. Benson attended his first game since last Friday's announcement. He sat courtside and received a standing ovation when introduced. The Hornets outworked the Griz with four players scoring in double figures. Carl Landry had a double-double (16 points, 11 rebounds) but left with an injured calf in the final minutes of the game.
The Grizzlies (35-25) lost for just the fourth time 14 games but lost even more ground to the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers. The Griz are two games behind the fourth-place Clippers and 31/2 in back of the third-place Lakers. Sixth place Dallas lost and is 11/2 games behind Memphis. The Hornets improved to 18-42 after winning for the fourth time in five games. But their season really comes down to how well they do in the NBA draft lottery.
Numbers game
3: The Grizzlies' magic number to clinch a playoff berth.
21: The Hornets were perfect at the free-throw line by making all 21 attempts.
40: New Orleans outscored Memphis, 40-22, in the paint.
Got next
Grizzlies at Timberwolves, Tuesday, 7 p.m. The Wolves could be without All-Star Kevin Love, who has already missed two straight games with a concussion.

"I use a lot of repetition. And it becomes a filmic way of talking because as you put the same image after the other, even though it's the exact identical image, everyone sees something changing from one image to the next."
"Iceberg (r11i01)" (2004)
"'Iceberg (r11i01)' is about stopping time. You take an animation and suspend it, so you have suspended animation of a frozen moment- a three-dimensional photograph of one moment. 'Iceberg' and 'Cloud', and other projects I'm working on, are almost literally about capturing ephemera. In the end, it's an impossibility. You really haven't captured ephemera; you've made a thing- a sculpture. You've negated the notion of ephemera. Then, it's only the public moving around the piece, experiencing it, that becomes the ephemeral moment."
