Carson Palmer has heard the talk that the Oakland Raiders should simply be done with the whole idea of huddling up. Palmer has done some of his best work in a no-huddle offense, including a 26-23 overtime win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fans prefer it in part because they're frustrated with offensive coordinator Greg Knapp, who has retooled the offense that was gaining more yards and scoring more points under the direction of former offensive coordinator and head coach Hue Jackson. But Palmer maintains it's not a realistic scenario. "If that's all you're going to come into the game with, you completely limit yourself, from personnel groups to formations to protections, in the red zone, on third down, (when you're) backed up," Palmer said. "It's not feasible. It's a good change-up. It gets us out of a rut every once in awhile ... it's not something you can run all the time." As for the contention that Palmer running the no-huddle essentially bypasses Knapp as the play-caller, Palmer said, "A lot of times in the no-huddle, coach Knapp's calling the plays ... the majority of the time." Palmer has passed the ball more frequently than planned with the struggles of the Oakland running game, completing 61.4 percent (148 of 241) of his passes for 1,732 yards, a pace that through six games would put him within range of Rich Gannon's single-season standard of 4,689 yards in 2002. As a Raider, Palmer has 4,485 yards passing in 16 games and 15 starts. The most yards he ever threw for with the Cincinnati Bengals was 4,131 yards. The hope is, however, that Palmer's numbers will go down and those of running back Darren McFadden and other backs will go up. "We want to run the football," Palmer said. "That's what we talk about, that's what we work on. That's what coach is always preaching. You run the ball better, those (rushing) yards go up and the passing yards go down. "The more you run the ball, the more defenses focus on it and then you really get a chance to throw it downfield and the naked bootlegs and long play-action."

U.S 'Cracking Down' On Payments To Ghost Soldiers
خبر ها –
The U.S. Defense Department has positive a watchdog organisation that a series of efforts are being carried out to lane Afghan active-duty confidence army so that American taxpayer dollars are not squandered on supposed spook soldiers.
In a minute to a Pentagon expelled Friday — ۱۵ years to a day given a United States invaded Afghanistan to reject a Taliban — a bureau of a Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) pronounced it was disturbed about "significant gaps between a reserved force strength of a (Afghan National Defense and Security Forces) and a tangible series of crew serving."
In an essay published by a U.S's Stars and Stripes, SIGAR voiced sold confusion about southern Helmand province, where Afghan army have been struggling to deflect off relentless Taliban offensives.
TOLOnews in Jun quoted Helmand's incoming military arch as observant that adult to half of a roughly 26,000 soldiers and military officers reserved to a range did not exist.
Officially Afghan confidence army — that embody a army and internal and inhabitant military — are pronounced to series about 320,000, though The Associated Press reported progressing this year that there were expected fewer than half of that number.
SIGAR pronounced it was endangered that U.S. supports supposing to a ANDSF could be pocketed by Afghan commanders underneath a guise of profitable soldiers who have deserted, have died or never existed. The watchdog organisation asked a DOD for an refurbish on measures it formerly affianced to exercise to comment for Afghan personnel.
Stars and Stripes reported that a DOD pronounced several efforts were underway, including person-by-person corroboration and biometric registration. It pronounced roughly 90 percent of military and 70- 80 percent of soldiers have been biometrically enrolled.
"When a initial inventorying is finished in Jul 2017, DOD and a Afghan (Defense Ministry) will have a some-more accurate illustration of tangible force strength," a Pentagon said.
Efforts during changing a approach salaries are paid so that they go directly to employees should also be implemented by subsequent year, DOD said.
The United States has spent $68 billion USD given 2002 to assistance support a Afghan National Defense and Security Forces. The NDSF, that has been hampered by demoralization and desertions for years, still struggles on a possess to opposite a Taliban and other militants.
SIGAR has not nonetheless pronounced either it believes DOD's efforts are satisfactory.

The issue of body image is widely discussed these days. It is a good sign that this problem has been raised as we have been believing in the same stereotypes for too long. To be more specific, the majority is convinced that only those people who are born beautiful manage to become successful. What is more, this person does not merely have to be beautiful. This person also needs to be thin.
Such stereotypes are ruining the idea of a healthy body image. It is important to keep in mind that we are not supposed to be of a specific size. We are all born beautiful no matter what size we wear or how tall we are.
Luckily, more and more articles touch upon the issue of body image which popularizes the idea of diversity. Being different is good. Each person should embrace their personality and live to the fullest. The way a person looks like is not as important as the media have always been trying to portray it. Familiarize yourself with more information regarding the subject of body image at … Body image

We purchased this bike for our eight year old son. He is very hard on all his toys. It's usually only within a few weeks that whatever we have bought him shows some type of battle scars. This bike is SOLID built tuff. I think it's going to hold up quite well. He loves that it has double pegs. I like the fact that it comes with a kickstand. When the heck did they stop putting those on there anyway? All in all it's a great looking bike solid and well built. I had some trouble putting the break assembly together I found the instructions difficult to follow. If your not really handy with this type of thing I would advise taking it to a bike store any paying them to assemble it for you. I wished Walmart offered that option I would have gladly paid the extra money. They may do it in the store but we bought this online and had it shipped to our local store, and I was told it was not an option at the store I picked it up at.
wow wow wow!!!!! amazing bike!!!!! colors look sweet!!! stable!!!!! omg pretty lite!!!! phenominal for a walmart bike i wouldent be suprised if they sarted to sell these in pro bmx shops!!!! get this bike if anything may be a lot or a little bit less or more money but its completely worth it!!!!!!
We just gave my 14 year old this bike for his birthday. He was thrilled with how light it is and that it has 4 pegs (versus 2 on most other bikes he's seen). He was actually proud to tell his friends that we only paid $129 for his bike when his friends' bikes cost more than double and were heavier and only had 2 pegs! Great value!
After 7 months of use here is the good, the bad, and the ugly about the 20" Mongoose Entrail BMX style bike...
The Good stuff:
- I like the cool metallic black cherry color of the bike
- 3-piece crank set (175mm length)
- Heavy duty aluminum pedals (instead of cheap plastic units)
- Heavy duty wheels that will not bend easily
- Heavy duty aluminum stem (gooseneck)
- Has a 'gyro' so you can spin the handle bars around in a circle and the brake cables will never get tangled up
- Aluminum hubs
- Aluminum hand brake levers (instead of cheap plastic units)
The not so good:
- Stiff brake levers
- Cheap plastic chain guard (broke shortly after purchase, but it is not really a necessity anyways)
- Left end of handlebars bent down a bit
- Not thrilled with the purple colored stem (gooseneck), pedals, hand brake levers, gears (sprockets), and hubs, but it's tolerable.
- It is a heavy bike, weighing almost 40 lbs.
- Cheap gears (It wont effect most operators, however small gears + short chain = somewhat costly to upgrade)
- Cheesy looking seat
Would I buy this same bike again?
For $124.00 out the door? Yes.
For $180.19 out the door for a child who just wants a bike to ride? Yes.
For $180.19 out the door for a child who is really into bikes or possibly wants to BMX race? I'd look for a pre-owned true BMX bike in the $130-180.00 range. I think you will get a lot more for your money.
The full details:
I bought this bike in the spring of 2011 for my 9 year old 70-lbs. son.
I purchased it for $124.00 shipped 'Site To Store' via Wal-Mart.com.
After assembly I noticed that the brake levers are very stiff. The gears/sprockets are very small diameter. An average rider likely will not care, but if you want to be able to have any adjust-ability in your gearing you will have to replace the front & rear gears to a more standard set. This will also means buying a new chain as the stock piece is VERY short due to such small diameter gears/sprockets.
Overall it is an extremely smooth riding bike and coasts great. He has put the bike through its paces and a few crashes over the past 7 months and it is still an fantastic shape. It has been used every day, some days more than others. The only flaw so far is the left side of the handlebar has bent down a bit. I have no idea how it happened and he didn't realize it was bent until I showed him. I think the bike is heavy at almost 40-lbs. With that said I really can't say enough good about this bike for the price I paid for it. It is set up as a freestyle/trick bike than a true BMX bike which accounts for the beefy wheels, footpegs, gyro, ...
I see the price is now $180.19 INCLUDING 6% MI sales tax online which makes this bike no longer a super deal in my opinion.
I think it's still a great bike for the money if you are intent on purchasing a brand new bike or someone who just wants to ride a bike. However if you have someone who is really into bikes and/or likes to work on them or might want to start racing and you don't mind buying pre-owned there are a lot of really nice gently used quality bikes in the $130-180.00 range that will have all the same major features and will likely have a nicer seat, seat post, handlebars, smoother operating brakes, and will certainly be a bit lighter. Depending on the intended or projected use one of those may be a better buy/smarter investment in the long term.
I got this bike for my 11 year old son for his birthday. He LOVES it!!! The color scheme is a little different than what we thought, but it worked! The description was black bike, but when we got it, the bike also came with some purple metallic parts. (ie. brakes, pedals) My son said it looks cool and that is all that matters. Regarding the cost, I do not feel that we could have gotten a "Mongoose" bike of this quality anywhere else for less than $200. What a bargain!! We will definitely be using Walmart in the future for our daughters next bike.
got this for my 8 yr old -- frame is a bit long for his size but he makes it work and he loves the look. bike was so inexpensive, you almost can't go wrong. I doubt this bike would last on a much older/heavier child or adult, but it's perfect for him as a first bmx style bike with its small sprockets so he can drop down off ramps and into a bowl. pretty easy to put together after delivery, too. brake cable setup is poor -- the wires need to be replaced in their tracks almost every time we take the bike out of the car, and rear brake cable is exposed right under bar so that we needed to fit foam on our bike rack to transport it without damaging cable. overall it's exactly what I would expect at this great bargain price, and I'd recommend it for younger kids -- I'm not expecting it to last forever, but it was the perfect bike for him as a beginner.
love it its awesome nice deal good colors very very good brand
Picked this up for my Nephew after he mentioned to me that his other bike was stolen. I had it shipped to the store and took him with me to pick up some other items for family dinner. The surprise on his face when we also picked up the bike was priceless!
All he needs now is to take it off some really sweet jumps.
Item came in a box instead of being assembled at time of pickup. That was little annoying because they didn't mention anything about Item Being Not assemble......
My 11 year old daughter loves this bike..
Rides good. Brakes are good. Couple too many stickers on it.
Ordered the bike for my grandson thinking the bike was black as described, when it arrived it had alot of purple on it , the pedals and other parts were purple, not boy colors although it was a boys bike. Lucky , I returned it and found another bike in time for Christmas
Not happy, had problems with the front wheel as well as hooking the gears. I could have had a bad experience. It may not be the case for you.
Bought for my nephew - it's a terrific bike, well built and with easy instructions on assembly.

I arrived at a birthday party early and was hiding by the bar. A man, evidently a regular, came up looking like he was ready to kill someone.
Barman "You ok?"
Man (Visibly unwinding as he shared his woes) "I've had a nightmare getting here. My wife gave me a new number for a minicab firm and the bloke's turned up. I've said 'You wanna turn your car round, mate?' and he just makes these noises, like he can't speak, sort of moaning. I think, What's going on here? Anyway he gets this Biro out and writes on a piece of paper: Please tell me where to go."
Barman "What, he's deaf?"
Man "He's deaf. Nothing wrong with that. The wife's still putting her make-up on so I pop back in and say, 'They've sent us a deaf bloke.' She's been itching to have a go at me about something so she goes, 'Oh, you got a problem with that?' Like I'm anti-deaf or something. So I get her in the car and it turns out I've left the bloke's pen in the house, so there's a fuss about that, then she's got one in her bag, so I write the address down, he's happy and we're off."
Barman "Yeah?"
Man "Yeah, for all of a minute. Then we're stuck behind a massive crane, going nowhere, and then she starts suggesting we take a short cut, and she doesn't know where she is at the best of times. So then I've got her, who's lost, trying to tell him, who's deaf, how to get here. I had to just tune it out the end, pretend it wasn't happening."
Barman "I can imagine."
Man "I can't believe he only had one pen." ·

Thank you for these! Always nice to see what makes a great portfolio stand out among the masses. I decided a few years ago to just go with a decent WordPress-theme, because I wanted to focus 100% on my design, in stead of fiddling with code and addressing chrome/IE/ff design issues all the time (my programming skills were 'ahem' *questionable*… WordPress is easy to install, update and maintain and therefore wastes none of my time as a designer. I can really recommend every designer to register a .com and install WordPress with a lovely theme of choice. You look professional because you have a nice theme which just works in every browser and is even responsive (like my website right now). And If I get tired of it, I just install a new theme et voila ;-) I used to design them myself and put a lot of work in it, but in the end my programming takes 10x longer and is less accurate than a dedicated web-developer, so I just keep focusing on what I'm good at…
That's a great collection!
Clean and simple portfolio website designs are the best as they offer grace and style while making it as simple and user-friendly as possible. Such designs offer minimum amount of distraction and allows the user to focus his attention completely on the portfolio.
Great collection. Portfolio is a vital aspect of getting the job. Simplicity can be the most effective way of display tour work. Thanks for sharing.
Nice selection… but you forgot about mine! How rude!
Great themes for inspiration :D
How rude you forgot mine.
Nice working:)
Thank you for giving good inspiration.
Nice list, thank you.
Great Collections! :)

Nice collection! I might use some of this inspiration when I'll get around to building my own website.. I also came across an alternative to WordPress that seems much easier, so I might go with that, as my programming skills are completely non-existing. It's called http://www.artly.me – if anybody else is interested :)

I've just designed a portfolio for a Front-end Developer – what do you think?

Glass jars (seeing the herbs/spice) inspire me to cook and try more recipes with with herbs/spice
Posted by YoungerNextYear on Jun 18, 2016 | Verified Purchase
I bought the entire range of glass bottle spices from simply organics because I want to see how much product I have left in the bottle -- so I can preorder before I'm stuck without a main ingredient when you want to make something (how many times does this happen!). I also find seeing the spice inside the bottle inspires me to make something. If I see that I have a lot of allspice, for example, I will search recipes with allspice. I feel that I'm incorporating more herbs and spices into my meals because I'm more inspired by the visual cue of seeing the product.

BSE Sensex Closes 1.7 Percent Down
The BSE Sensex extended losses to the second day and closed 1.7 percent lower on Friday as concerns over a slowdown in the economy intensified after the finance ministry cut the country's growth forecast for the current fiscal year.
The economy is likely to grow by between 7.25 percent and 7.75 percent in the fiscal year ending March, sharply lower than the original estimate of 9 percent, a mid-year review of the economy tabled by the finance minister in parliament showed.
The 30-share BSE index fell 274.78 points to 16,213.46, with 27 of its components in the red. The benchmark fell as much as 2 percent during the day. The index lost 3.76 percent for the week.
Shares of index heavyweight Reliance Industries (RELI.NS) led the losses and fell nearly 3 percent to end at 755.70 rupees, their lowest close since November 25.
Nomura downgraded the stock to neutral from buy, citing diminishing exploration and production possibilities, and declining refining margins.
The market has over-reacted to the mid-term review. The lower GDP projections were already known and there is nothing new that you can derive from the review, Kishor Ostwal, chairman and managing director, CNI Research, said. The market should bounce back next week before the RBI reviews its policy on Friday, Ostwal said, adding he saw 5,100 as next support level for the Nifty.
The Reserve Bank of India is widely expected to pause its rate tightening cycle next Friday at its monetary policy review as a slowing economy and a fragile global economic environment take centre stage.
Appetite for riskier assets was hit further after India's trade secretary Rahul Khullar said the country was facing a serious balance of trade problem.
Private lender ICICI Bank (ICBK.NS) and HDFC Bank (HDBK.NS) fell 1.77 and 2.2 percent, respectively.
Brokerage Macquarie said it would continue to be bearish on the Indian banking sector because of deteriorating asset quality and a possible tightening of margins due to an increase in savings rate.
A slew of economic data, including industrial output and headline inflation, is expected next week and will influence stock market moves.
India's industrial output likely shrank 0.5 percent in October from the same month a year ago, its first decline in over two years, hurt by a slowdown in export growth, a Reuters poll showed. The data is due on Monday.
Toughening domestic economic conditions have chipped away demand for vehicles, dragging automakers, while engineering and construction firms have warned of deferred projects and slowing investment spending.
Larsen & Toubro (LART.NS), the country's biggest engineering conglomerate, shed 2.65 percent to close at 1,226.85 rupees, after falling as much as 3.33 percent intraday.
Shares of Tata Motors (TAMO.NS), India's third-largest car maker by domestic sales, closed down 2.94 percent at 183.00 rupees. Fellow automaker Mahindra & Mahindra (MAHM.NS) ended down 3.65 percent at 703.25 rupees.
The 50-share NSE index fell 1.56 percent to 4,866.70. In the broader market, there were 2.3 losers for each gainer on a moderate volume of 563.6 million shares.
Shares were under selling pressure in global markets also, with European stock markets falling on fears EU leaders were struggling to come to terms on immediate measures to halt the slide of euro zone government bond markets.
* Kingfisher Airlines (KING.NS) fell 3.82 percent after a tax official said the authorities had frozen 11 of the carrier's bank accounts for failure to pay service tax dues.
* Geojit BNP Financial Services (GEOJ.NS) ended up 6.15 percent after French lender BNP Paribas (BNPP.PA) agreed to pay 405 million rupees to buy out its Indian institutional broking business.
* Reliance Capital (RLCP.NS) rose 0.82 percent after the Mint newspaper reported the company was in talks with at least three international firms to sell a 26 percent stake in its general insurance arm. A company spokesman declined to comment on the report.
* Unitech (UNTE.NS) on 23.22 million shares
* Jaiprakash Associates (JAIA.NS) on 21.44 million shares
* Max India (MAXI.NS) on 19.19 million shares

MINNEAPOLIS - 2008: Erin Henderson of the Minnesota Vikings poses for his 2008 NFL headshot at photo day in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by Getty Images)
Mark Craig of the Minneapolis Star Tribune writes that impending free agent OLB Erin Henderson may not want to re-sign with the Vikings next season given that they were unwilling to offer him a long-term agreement last year. The Vikings will have three linebackers to address during the offseason including Henderson, Jasper Brinkley and Marvin Mitchell. Henderson and Brinkley are both serviceable players that are worth consideration for being re-signed. Although Henderson excels against the run, he struggles mightily in coverage, so it's not as though he's going to command a huge deal on the open market. On top of that, he may want a change of scenery, so the Vikings could be forced to address the position during the draft. Craig mentions that inside linebackers such as Manti Te'o, Alec Ogletree and Kevin Minter could be potential options for Minnesota's first-round pick. We have Henderson listed as the No. 76 best available player in our Top 100 Free Agents list. The post Vikings Could Target A Replacement For LB Erin Henderson In The Draft appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

Meet Enrique Ortez, the man given the job of Chancellor of Honduras (basically foreign minister) by the usurper Micheletti. In an interview on Honduras TV last night he said the above about President Obama and a whole lot more. Here's a translation of this report in the El Salvador daily, LaPagina:
Following the Coup D'Etat over José Manuel Zelaya, the de facto government led by Roberto Micheletti has named its new government team, among them the new Chancellor Enrique Ortez Colindres, who in his declarations has made the position of the coupmongers clear.
According to the Argentine newspaper El Clarín, the new "chancellor" Enrique Ortez took part in a journalistic TV program in Honduras where he was asked about the international reactions to the coup d'etat. Ortez said that he gave no importane whatsoever to the OAS and "the other little groups out there", he said (Spanish premier) José Luis Rodrígues Zapatero should "go back to his shoes*" and said that he was not going to talk about (Honduras neighbour) El Salvador "because it's not worth talking about such a small country, where you can't even play football because the ball lands in another country".
But he went for more by defining President Barack Obama of The United States as "that little black man who doesn't know anything".
Keep apologizing for your coupmongers, wingnuts. Cos by gawd, every day there's more to apologize for.
I've had a couple of mails from people about what this Ortez scumbag actually said about Obama, so here goes with a bit more. His precise words in Spanish were "Ese negrito que no sabe nada de nada". I decided to translate this as "that little black man who knows nothing" or "that little black man who doesn't know anything" to stay away from the controversial side of the statement and be as bland as possible. In fact the use of the word "negrito", i.e. the diminuitive of "negro", is very derogatory in nature and overtly racist in context; the kind of racism that would force the resignation of any public figure in the USA (for example). One mailer offered up the translation of "that know-nothing black boy" to get the proper feeling of the message implied by Ortez, and although it's extremely difficult to hit the translatory nail on the head in this case, I'd tend to agree that the offered translation captures the sentiment better than my deliberately bland version. Another way of catching the drift would be "That blackie that knows nothing about anything", or even "That negro...." would work, even the other "N" word would be a fair translation of what he meant.
The bottom line is that Ortez's statement, alongside the equally offensive words he has for Zapatero and the nation of El Salvador (note Revolter's comment below and Google up about the "football war" if you haven't heard about it previously) is dripping with bigotry and hatred.
* a play on words with the word "zapatero", which means "shoemaker" in Spanish

ATLANTA -- When Alfonso Soriano had only four homers in 190 at-bats through May, he was starting to hear boos from impatient Chicago Cubs fans.
Soriano proved with three homers in his first three at-bats Friday night that the early-season power slump is history.
Soriano was 4-for-5 with the three homers in the first four innings and the Cubs continued their strong road play by beating the Atlanta Braves 9-1 on Friday night.
The Cubs have won five of their last six games, including two straight over the Braves.
The Braves have lost six of seven, including four straight in which they have scored a combined seven runs.
Soriano is 13-for-23 (.565) with four homers as the Cubs have won four of five games on their road trip. He hit homers in three straight games last week and has six already in June.
"This is what we were looking for," said Cubs manager Lou Piniella. "He's starting to give it to us.
"I tell you, when he's swinging the bat well, he's certainly fun to watch."
Soriano led off the game with a homer off Lance Cormier's first pitch before adding another first-pitch homer in the second inning.
Soriano's third homer came in the fourth inning, leaving him in excellent position to become the 16th major league player -- and the first Cub -- to hit four homers in a game.
"I was trying to hit it hard and make a good swing and see what happens," said Soriano, who walked, grounded out and singled to left in his final three plate appearances.
Soriano didn't become the first Cubs player to hit four homers in a game, but he called his second career three-homer game "very exciting for me."
"I feel very good, especially after I hit a home run with the first pitch," he said.
Soriano lifted his batting average to .326 with the four hits.
The sight of Soriano crunching a fat fastball to lead off the game made Braves manager Bobby Cox cringe.
"Number one, he's a great hitter," Cox said. "Number two, you have to make good pitches to a good hitter. We didn't even come close to doing that."
In the fifth inning, Braves reliever Oscar Villarreal threw three balls to Soriano before issuing an intentional walk. The walk drew boos from the fans at Turner Field but didn't surprise Cubs pitcher Sean Marshall.
When asked how he'd pitch to Soriano, Marshall said "I would have walked him."
Soriano, facing reliever Blaine Boyer in the seventh, grounded out to shortstop Edgar Renteria. He singled and was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double in the ninth against Chad Paronto.
Soriano's only other three-homer game also came against the Braves on April 21, 2006, while playing for the Nationals in Washington.
The three homers gave Soriano 10 for the season.
Marshall (2-2) gave up only four hits and one run in six innings in his second win over the Braves in six days.
Marshall walked two batters and had four strikeouts. He also beat the Braves 9-1 Sunday in Chicago, when he gave up six hits and one run in 6 2/3 innings.
It was the second straight strong start against Atlanta by a Cubs' left-hander. Rich Hill gave up three hits in eight innings in Thursday night's 2-1 win over the Braves.
The Cubs improved to 16-15 in road games, including 4-1 on their current road trip.
Cormier (0-2) gave up five runs in 3 2/3 innings.
Cormier, who allowed nine baserunners and three runs in the first two innings, gave up five hits and walked six batters. He walked Mark DeRosa with the bases loaded in the first to force in the Cubs' second run.
In two starts against the Cubs, Cormier has given up 14 hits and 13 runs in 7 2/3 innings. Those are Cormier's only two games since coming off the disabled list.
"Cormier was just a little bit here, a little bit there," Cox said.
"The stuff's there. It's there. It's just, he's rusty."
Michael Barrett hit a homer to left in the fourth to knock Cormier out of the game.
Cesar Izturis led off the fifth with a double off Villarreal and scored from third on Felix Pie's fly ball to left.
The Cubs added two runs off Boyer in the seventh. Felix Pie's single to center drove in Izturis. A throwing error by first baseman Scott Thorman on Derrek Lee's infield hit allowed Pie to score from second.
Pie went 2-for-4 with three RBI.
The Braves, held to only three hits in a 2-1 loss to the Cubs on Thursday night, struggled again. Their only run off Marshall came in the third when Kelly Johnson hit a triple down the right-field line and scored on Yunel Escobar's infield hit.
- Braves C Brian McCann was given another day off after having a cortisone shot in his sore right ankle Wednesday but is expected to start Saturday. Jarrod Saltalamacchia started for the third time in five games.
- OF Cliff Floyd was placed on the bereavement list as he returned to Chicago to be with his sick father. IF Mike Fontenot will be recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday.

- Publisher's Summary
- Hidden from human view, accessible only to sensitive receivers attached to huge radio telescopes, giant versions of backyard satellite dishes, the invisible universe beyond our senses continues to fascinate and intrigue our imaginations. We cannot really comprehend what it means to say that a galaxy is exploding, yet that is the nature of some of the distant radio sources in the furthest reaches of space. Closer to home, in the Milky Way galaxy, radio astronomers listen patiently to the ticking of pulsars that tell of star death and states of matter of awesome densities. And between the stars, radio emission from a host of over 120 complex molecules radiate outward to reveal a tale about chemical processes that produce the very stuff of life. And all of this happens out there in the universe hidden from our eyes, even when aided by the Hubble Space Telescope. This is the story of radio astronomy, of how radio waves are generated by stars, supernova, quasars, colliding galaxies, and by the very beginnings of the universe itself. In "The Invisible Universe", you learn what astronomers are doing with those huge dishes in the New Mexico desert, in a remote valley in Puerto Rico, in the green Pocahontas Valley in West Virginia, as well as dozens of other remote sites around the world. With each of these observatories, the scientists collect and analyze their data, 'listening' to the radio signals from space, in order to learn what is out there, and perhaps even if someone else may be listening as well.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Video- Bruins Take Game 2 With A Big Comeback In The 3rd Period
by Paul on 05/03/14 at 04:08 PM ET
Comments (0)
Saturday afternoon games are tough to watch for some people so in case you want to catch up on what you missed or want to review the action again...
from the CP at CBC,
Reilly Smith scored with 3:32 remaining and Milan Lucic added an empty-net goal to cap a remarkable four-goal Boston comeback in the third period as the Bruins defeated the Montreal Canadiens 5-3 to even their second-round series at one game apiece.
Torey Krug found Smith cruising in towards goal and the Bruins forward rifled a shot past Carey Price for Boston's third goal in five minutes 28 seconds. Lucic's empty-net goal came with 66 seconds remaining.
"They were playing desperate at the end of the game and they found a way to put it in the net," Price said. "We've just got to regroup, realize what the situation we're in, we're in a good spot, and move forward."
Trailing 3-1 midway through the third period, Boston had pulled even on goals by Dougie Hamilton at 10:56 and Patrice Bergeron at 14:17.

Fallout Brotherhood of Steel Messenger Bag
Ad Victoriam, Soldier
- Army green vintage canvas paratrooper bag
- Tons of storage with 4 compartments to organize everything
- Adjustable shoulder strap
Ad Victoriam, SoldierPower armor allows you to carry a lot more stuff through the wasteland, but not all members of the Brotherhood wear power armor. And no one wears it all the time, except maybe Paladin Danse Party - not sure that guy ever steps out of his suit. But for everyone else, we need a way to increase our carrying capacity while we're out making the Commonwealth a safer place. And someplace to stash fusion cores while we try to make it back to wherever we left our dead-batteries suit.
Upgrade your armorless carrying capacity with this Brotherhood of Steel messenger bag. Featuring the familiar logo screenprinted on the outer flap of an army green canvas bag, you get three inner compartments to keep your inventory organized. And the outer compartment organizer includes a ton of pen holders (we counted 18 if the pens are small) - but we all know that clicky pens have springs in them, and you could always use more springs in the Commonwealth, so go ahead and start hoarding now.
Product Specifications
- Fallout Brotherhood of Steel Messenger Bag
- Officially-licensed Fallout merchandise
- Sturdy army green vintage canvas paratrooper bag with the Brotherhood of Steel logo screenprinted on the front flap
- Brass hardware
- 3 inner compartments

"Will my laptop fit in this bag, ThinkGeek?" Let's find out together!
|Laptop fitting guide
| Measure your laptop.
Like TVs, laptops are listed by their measurement on the diagonal. bags, on the other hand, are measured on the edges. not all 17" laptops are the same size, so you'll need to measure the length & width of your closed laptop.
"But my laptop is at home, ThinkGeek!"
If you can't wait, Google has superpowers to tell you the dimensions of your laptop if you ask it nicely. Just input the make and model of your laptop and ye shall receive.
"I've got the measurements! Now what?"
Compare your laptop's measurements to the measurements of the bag. If the laptop's measurements are smaller than the bag, it fits! If one or more of the laptop's measurements are bigger, you're out of luck with this bag. Try another.

Apple won't face prosecution for a widespread iMessage issue that affected users switching from iOS to Android.
The iPhone maker recently won a ruling that means it won't have to go to court to fight a group lawsuit concerning an old issue with Apple's messaging platform.
Adrienne Moore filed the complaint after she switched from an iPhone 4 to an Android-powered Samsung phone, and found that messages from her iPhone-using friends were failing to be delivered.
According to the group, those choosing to leave Apple's ecosystem would find themselves "penalized and unable to obtain the full benefits of their wireless-service contracts."
However, as Bloomberg reports, US District Judge Lucy H. Koh has ruled that the case can't proceed as a group lawsuit. This is because she was unable to determine "whether iMessage actually caused the proposed class members to suffer any interference."
In other words, the ruling isn't stating that Apple didn't mess up with its messaging service – only that there's a lack of evidence that this issue affected each member of this particular lawsuit in the way described.
Read More: iPhone 6 review
It means that Apple will avoid the continuing legal costs of another lawsuit, which would likely have involved some form of settlement with the accusers.
Apple has experienced a number of issues with iMessage over the years. Most recently, it was found that receiving a certain string of characters through the service would crash a person's iPhone.
See what we thought of the iPhone 6 Plus in the following video:

You are absolutely correct that their is mark up on retail accessories in a retail location. I have a hard time believing it is 600% but I iwll give you the benefit of the doubt. The reason for my comment is that I would like add a few suggestions.
1. If you decide to purchase your accessories online, make sure that you buy brand specific accessories. If you have a Nokia phone, buy Nokia branded car chargers and cases. I have personally seen an off brand car charger ruin a $450 phone and because the consumer used an off brand accessory it was not covered under warranty. You also want to make sure your case is brand specific as they often tend to not fit properly and can cause it to scratch your display.
2. You mentioned insurance as a hard sell? I have worked in the wireless sector for 4 years now and I am a retail sales manager for a wireless company. DEFFINETLY get the insurance on your phone unless you purchase a phone that has a retail value of less than $100. It can be a life saver. I have it on my blackberry and I work for a wireless company. If that doesn't prove that I see the value in the insurance I don't know what will. I try not to let a customer leave without insurance. If they still will not accept the insurance we require them to sign an insurance decline form. You would be amazed how many people refuse insurance on an expensive phone and are back in the store with in 45 days because they have damaged thier phone. If you don't have insurance, you must pay full retail for the phone. You do NOT get the promotional price that you got when you first signed up. I have see a customer buy a phone and walk out the front door and drop thier phone in a puddle of water. If they would not have had insurance I would have had to charge them full retail... Who wants to do that?
3. The upgrade fee..... Most wireless carriers have some form of upgrade fee. My wireless company will not waive the fee period. They would rather let you leave than to waive that fee! Don't ask me why but they would!!! I can tell you this, I personally would not resign with a company because of an $18 upgrade fee. Think about it this way..... If you choose to leave then you are going to have to find another provider where you will have to pay an even higher activation fee that may or may not be waived. The worst part is, you will be subject to the new rates!!! The longer you stay with a specific company on a specific company the better your deal becomes. It is called inflation!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

State of the Art – "On the Tyranny of Fun"
Videogame media's sine qua non condition for a good videogame: being fun. If, and only if it is fun, can it be deemed a good buy, a prime piece of entertainment or what they would foolishly call a work of "art". Sure, technologically adept graphic engines, seemingly complex AI routines, innovative gameplay design and, occasionally (rarely?), captivating narrative and unique aesthetics can seal the deal. But the first and foremost condition for any review to assess, is each videogame's "fun factor". All those other features are, at best, just rationalization fodder for reviewers to find in their hearts if the game is worthy of 8, 9 or 10, B+, A or A+, or the equivalent in whichever scale is chosen by that publication. Of course, this is not just a case of the media, it is also a case for consumers. They're the ones who determine what media focuses on, and naturally, together, they determine what videogame production focuses on, which is, undeniably, "fun". But what is fun? What is the meaning that hides beneath this seemingly harmless three letter word, and why do so many of us spend half their waking life looking for it, in film, music, TV and videogames?
Csikszentmihaliy is a psychologist who studied entertainment across different contexts; through his research, he designed a model which encompasses entertainment's cognitive and emotional basis. He discovered what he called flow, "a state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience itself is so enjoyable that people will do it even at great cost, for the sheer sake of doing it". Sound familiar? In reality, flow is more or less what people understand to be "fun": a pleasurable state of high arousal. But there is more to this "flow". Besides a profound sense of enjoyment, whilst in flow, people enter a state of deep focus and concentration in their activity, they feel at one with their surroundings, losing any self-consciousness and awareness of the self, and even lose track of time.
Csikszentmihaliy also digresses on the conditions needed for activities to incite flow as a ratio between challenges and skills. According to his studies, for someone to feel flow, challenges' difficulty has to adapt dynamically to the skills of the practitioner, always being great enough to warrant improvement, but without ever seeming too hard to achieve. When the complexity of a challenge far outweighs the skills of the practitioner, that person loses concentration, building up anxiety, and eventually leading into frustration when the challenge is left unconquered. Conversely, when the skills far outweigh the challenge, the result is boredom. The very definition of a game fits into this challenge/skill model – games are systems bound by rules, in which an artificial conflict is proposed to players, a challenge that requires effort (read skills) to be achieved, and which has different outcomes, some good (win), some bad (lose). As you can see, the game activity has challenges and skills built into its weaving structure which is why ludic videogames can so easily mimic the cognitive and emotional effect of flow (fun) in players.
Fun can thus be understood as a concentrated state of mind in which self, time and space dilute themselves as we become short-circuited to a specific activity. In other words, fun or flow, is a hedonic, mindless past-time, one which we engage for its capacity to release pleasure hormones in our brain for long periods of time. Fun is the very definition of entertainment. Now we have to wonder if fun is really the defining quality which distinguishes good entertainment, good art and good videogames from the bad. If you believe that the best quality a videogame should possess is the ability to waste your time, with you mindlessly feeling pleasure as if hotwired to an endorphin disposal tube, then feel free to continue to uphold the logic of fun. Corporations will be pleased to know that there are more of you anxiously awaiting for your next pleasure fix, i.e. the next XX hours spent vacantly staring at a TV screen. Ever wonder why you compulsively buy games? It is because the "fun" high is, like most highs, shallow and short-lived, your body needs it constantly because it never feels totally satisfied. It's the media equivalent of fast-food – it tastes sweet and salty in the first bite, but it never really feels satisfying enough, and once you finish eating, you'll still get a spike of appetite and hunger. It's not nutritional, but it's addicting, because that is the only way you'll keep coming back for more, time and time and time again.
Obviously, the true value of videogames, as in other media, has nothing to do with this "fun". It's neither the pleasure nor the challenge in themselves that make up good entertainment. It's challenge's semantic value, its meaning and its proposition of growth for each and any one of us. If a videogame only challenges you into mindlessly pressing buttons to kill monsters on screen, then it is worthless. This is a lesson which in older mediums is fully understood. In cinema, for instance, while some critics might praise the latest explosion fest blockbuster, they will consistently distinguish between popcorn "fun" entertainment, and proper films. Very rarely is something as discardable as a blockbuster elevated to film of the year. On the other hand, the same is practically a given every year in the videogame medium. The thing is that movie critics simply expect more out of film than just fun, they expect true drama and emotion – amusement, sadness, anger, joy, relief, fear -, they expect an artist's views on life and socially relevant issues, they expect added cultural value, articulate narrative discourse and artistic expression. These are the challenges which we should be demanding for videogames. Whether or not they end up being "fun" is besides the point. Good media is additive, not reductive. It does not subtract time from your life, by having it pleasurably slip as sand through your fingers; it adds time to your life with new sensations, new emotions, new experiences, new memories and new ideas. It changes you, changes who you are, what you know and believe in. Fun is not part of this equation, nor ever was.
The problem is that society, because of economic interests, harasses you to continuously seek out pleasure, no matter how shallow and unfulfilling it may be. They afford you sensorial pornography – all pleasure, no emotion. And the deal seems sweet, since you get free pleasure with none of the added cost or effort. But true media bliss has a price: it is demanding, requires work, education and culture on part of its audience. This is the most powerful insight of flow theory: meaningful challenges require meaningful skills. You know that you cannot extract pleasure from great literary masterpieces without first achieving a certain level of maturity, learning how to properly read, decode metaphors, allegories, paradoxes, grasp the sociocultural contexts in which authors wrote, have some idea of genre tropes, formal and narrative structures, and you have read many many many other books before. Then why should videogames be different? Why should videogames be so deep and artistic if even kids can play them? Their semantics so powerful, that even teenagers can understand what they're about? Why should videogames be so moving and thought-provoking, if all they require is for you to happily press a few buttons for you to feel "fun"? Why would the so-called "great masterpieces of the medium" require no cognitive and interpretative effort to play? The answer, no matter how infatuated we may be, is always the same: because videogames aren't, for the most part, good media.

Forget formulas, genres, pre-conceptions, clichés, aesthetic trends, blockbusters and big company logos. Praise videogames that challenge you in meaningful ways. Praise authorship, innovation, personality, uniqueness, ambiguity, non-linearity, complexity, aesthetic view, virtuosity… praise that which challenges you! Praise artistic expression above all else, and if you do so, maybe one day videogames will be more than just lowbrow entertainment.
