Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a problem of not being able to focus, being overactive, not being able control behavior, or a combination of these. For these problems to be diagnosed as ADHD, they must be out of the normal range for a person's age and development.
Recent findings and perspectives on medical research.
Merely a metaphor for a multitasking society? If only it were.
ADD; ADHD; Childhood hyperkinesis
ADHD usually begins in childhood but may continue into the adult years. It is the most commonly diagnosed behavioral disorder in children. ADHD is diagnosed much more often in boys than in girls.
It is not clear what causes ADHD. A combination of genes and environmental factors likely plays a role in the development of the condition. Imaging studies suggest that the brains of children with ADHD are different from those of children without ADHD.In-Depth Causes »
Symptoms of ADHD fall into three groups:
Some people with ADHD have mainly inattentive symptoms. Some have mainly hyperactive and impulsive symptoms. Others have a combination of different symptom types. Those with mostly inattentive symptoms are sometimes said to have attention deficit disorder (ADD). They tend to be less disruptive and are more likely not to be diagnosed with ADHD.
Inattentive Symptoms
Hyperactivity Symptoms
Impulsivity Symptoms
If ADHD is suspected, the individual should be evaluated by a health care professional. There is no test that can make or exclude a diagnosis of ADHD. The diagnosis is based on a pattern of the symptoms listed above. When the person with suspected ADHD is a child, parents and teachers are usually involved during the evaluation process.
Most children with ADHD have at least one other developmental or mental health problem, such as a mood, anxiety or substance use disorder; a learning disability; or a tic disorder. A doctor can help determine whether these other conditions are present.In-Depth Diagnosis »
Treating ADHD is a partnership between the health care provider and the patient. If the patient is a child, parents and often teachers are involved. For treatment to work, it is important to:
If treatment does not seem to work, the health care provider will likely:
Medicine combined with behavioral treatment often works best. There are several different ADHD medicines that may be used alone or in combination. The health care provider will decide which medicine is right based on the person's symptoms and needs.
Psychostimulants (also known as stimulants) are the most commonly used ADHD medicines. Although these drugs are called stimulants, they actually have a calming effect in people with ADHD.
Follow the health care provider's instructions on how to take ADHD medicine.
Some ADHD medicines have side effects. If the person has side effects, contact the health care provider right away. The dosage or medicine itself may need to be changed.
Therapy for both the patient and if relevant, the family, can help everyone understand and gain control of the stressful feelings related to ADHD.
A common type of ADHD therapy is called behavioral therapy. It teaches children and parents healthy behaviors and how to manage disruptive behaviors. For mild cases of ADHD, behavioral therapy alone (without medicine) can sometimes be effective.
Support groups can help the patient and family connect with others who have similar problems.
Other tips to help a child with ADHD include:
There is little proof that alternative treatments for ADHD such as herbs, supplements, and chiropractic are helpful.In-Depth Treatment »
ADHD is a long-term, chronic condition. If it is not treated correctly, ADHD may lead to:
One third to one half of children with ADHD continue to have symptoms of inattention or hyperactivity-impulsivity as adults. Adults with ADHD are often able to control behavior and mask difficulties.

Stanley Churchwell, 27, of North Platte was sent to the state penitentiary for 15-25 years Monday by Lincoln County District Judge Richard Birch.
The deal arranged by his defense attorney Pat Hays resulted in the dismissal of five other open cases -- four theft charges and a burglary charge.
Churchwell did not contest the sexual assault charge. In fact, he admitted he had fathered a child because of it.
In jail since February on the theft and burglary charges, Churchwell was hit May 7 with another charge --sexual assault of a child and he was convicted July 15.
Prosecutors said Churchwell assaulted a girl under the age of 16 a little more than a year ago. A South Dakota agency notified Lincoln County authorities that the girl gave birth to a baby on April 13, and the girl said that Churchwell raped her and caused the pregnancy.
A DNA test showed Churchwell is the father.
In court Monday, Lincoln County Attorney Rebecca Harling asked for a long jail sentence for child sexual assault.
The victim was only 15 years old and the attack included violence, Harling said. It resulted in a baby and Mr. Churchwell is a high risk to re-offend.
For his part, Churchwell told Birch that there was no violence involved, but there is no doubt I am the father of the baby.
Churchwell has been in and out of the county jail several times. Most recently, he was arrested for helping steal car axles and trying to sell them at a salvage yard. That charge came just 17 days after he had served 135 days for stealing them from a house and loading them on a trailer behind his pickup. Neighbors called the police after noticing the suspicious activity around the house where he stole the goods.
Along with this conviction, Churchwells record shows charges of theft, fraud, false reporting, contempt of court, failure to appear, drug possession and burglary.
Churchwell received credit for 347 days he has spent in the Lincoln County jail.

Resident Fantasy Genius
The Voting Travesty
Yesterday, for just the sixth time in MLB history, the Baseball Writers Association of America failed to elect a single candidate to the Hall of Fame. While I certainly disagree with this result, there was one player in particular for whom this result was an absolute travesty. No, not Barry Bonds or Roger Clemens. While I don't agree for a number of reasons I won't bother getting into, I can see why many elected not to cast votes for these two. Their case is about more than performance. Looking strictly at the numbers, they would have been unanimous first-balloters, but the steroids issue prevented such an occurrence—and I'm more or less okay with it, if for no other reason than because there is a bigger fish to fry.
Mike Piazza was the best catcher in the history of baseball. There, I said it. But if you saw how the voting unfolded yesterday, you may think I'm crazy for it:
Piazza garnered just over 50 percent of the required 75 percent of the vote and finished with just the fourth-most overall. Fourth may not seem too bad, but when you consider that, in the history of the Hall, the BBWAA has elected four players just twice (1947 and 1955—and they never elected more than four), it's pretty far removed from where he ought to be, indicating that he may not even get in next year.
Enough with the melodramatic outrage. What's Piazza's claim to a first-ballot Hall of Fame vote? He put it pretty well himself yesterday, but I'll give it a shot too.
Among the 14 catchers currently enshrined in the Hall of Fame, Piazza's WAR would rank fourth overall, behind just Johnny Bench, Carlton Fisk, and Gary Carter. He'd also slot fourth if you go by BP's resident Hall expert Jay Jaffe's JAWS system.
If you focus only on offense, Piazza's 143 OPS+ is first among every catcher who has ever played the game. Among those in the Hall already, the next-highest figures belong to Mickey Cochrane and Buck Ewing at just 129. (If you have a problem with OPS+—it's far from perfect—pick another metric. Piazza will still be the leader.) I don't think it's much of stretch to assume that every voting BBWAA member considers Piazza among the absolute best offensive talents ever to don catching gear. So what gives?
One of the biggest knocks against Piazza is his defense, and this may be one of the reasons he failed to garner the necessary votes. By Baseball-Reference's math, Piazza cost his teams 63 runs in the field over the course of his career. Of course, defense is hard to quantify, and catcher defense is the hardest of all positions for which to do so. The most easily quantified facet of catcher defense is throwing out baserunners, since it's a simple tally that is kept by every major stat site. Make no bones about it; Piazza was terrible at defending against the run. He caught just 17.6 percent of would-be base-stealers in his career, and runners weren't afraid to test his arm, causing damage in the form of both quantity and quality. Because of how easily measured this is relative to other catcher contributions, Piazza was saddled with a reputation as a terrible defensive catcher for his entire career.
Of course, a catcher's arm is only one piece of the defensive puzzle—and a rather insignificant piece, at that. Research by BP's own Max Marchi over the past year has shown that little separates the best and worst catchers in terms of things like arm and batted-ball fielding, practically speaking. More important is the ability to frame pitches and call a game, for which far more runs separate the best and the worst. Take a look at Max's all-time rankings in terms of game-calling:
Yup, that's Mike Piazza, the best offensive catcher of all time, tied for third in one of the most important defensive categories (along with one of the most highly respected defensive catchers of the modern era). And yup, that means if you add his game-calling contribution to the runs that Baseball-Ref was already counting, he comes in as a +142-run defender. Given the data we now have at our disposal, we can not only say that Mike Piazza was not a bad defender, but he was actually a very good one.
If we add those game-calling runs to his already tallied overall contribution (Runs Above Average) and do some back-of-the-envelope math to arrive at a WAR estimate, here is how Piazza stacks up to the five Hall of Fame backstops to play after 1948 (before which there were data constraints that prevented Max from calculating game-calling ability—but don't worry, the best catchers all fall in this group):
Don't hurt your neck as you crane it to look up at the top of that list. Here, I'll save you the trouble (neck issues are serious business); that's Piazza at the tippy-top in terms of Runs Above Average, and by a very sizeable margin at that. He ranks third by my estimated WAR, the discrepancy between the two lists coming from calculation of replacement level, but there's a lot of debate over how best to calculate it. To keep things simple, I just used Baseball-Ref's established Runs for Replacement Level, for which Piazza trails everyone on the list but Campanella (and he trails Fisk by more than 100 runs). It's certainly possible by another calculation Piazza would come out at the top of both lists.
In any event, it's starkly apparent that Piazza is one of the best catchers to ever play the game of baseball and, quite possibly, the very best. How he only managed 58 percent of the vote is a head-scratcher, to say the least. It seems, at least by speculation, that voters are penalizing him for playing in the "steroids era" despite there being absolutely no evidence to indicate that he juiced. He never failed a test. He didn't make the Mitchell Report, or any PED-related list for that matter. He never admitted to taking anything. The most I can find is some Murray Chass speculation that he took PEDs based on a case of bacne. And some general baseless assumptions that are pretty much made about anyone who performed well in that time period. Hardly damning, and hardly fair. As I mentioned earlier, I can at least understand writers who didn't throw Bonds or Clemens a vote—they are directed to take "integrity, sportsmanship, [and] character" into account, after all, and there is at least some evidence of PED use for them—but it's overreaching and downright inappropriate to withhold a vote for Piazza based on one's own personal conjecture and speculation.
Sorry BBWAA; you got this one wrong. Way wrong.

Sorry, but what happens in a vote for who gets a plaque dedicated to them in a museum is not a tragedy.
Jan 10, 2013 04:09 AM
Edgar Martinez was the best DH in baseball history (Ortiz pending) and he was ignored for reasons that have nothing to do with PEDs. Edgar cost his teams fewer runs on defense than Piazza because he wasn't out there.

game calling? gimme a break; classic example of statheads in over their craniums; how about name calling? ball scratching
Jan 10, 2013 09:37 AM
As a Met fan I will always love Piazza. As a baseball fan I have to ask: how does a player--in the steroids era--go from being a 63rd round courtesy pick to the greatest offensive catcher in history without any assistance? If I had a vote, I'd vote for Piazza--but I'd also vote for Bonds and Clemens, because they dominated the game in their time.
Jan 10, 2013 09:54 AM
I don't agree with this line of thinking - but this line of thinking (guilty by performing in a specific era) is exactly what caused this "travesty".
Jan 10, 2013 10:22 AM
There was more to the line of thinking than that. It's pretty easy to believe that a 5th or 6th round pick turns out to be a quality major leaguer, Brandon Belt for example. But you can count the number of undrafted (and that's essentially what Piazza was) first ballot hall of famers on the fingers of one foot.
Jan 10, 2013 10:42 AM
He was picked as a 20 year old. Did he get picked out of community college? I can't tell based on his baseball-reference page. It's safe to say that he wasn't really scouted.
Jan 10, 2013 10:53 AM
Sorry to say that everybody, great, good, and not so good, in the steroid era is under suspicion. That's not fair to the players that never used anything stronger than caffeine, but that's reality. We don't know who used and who didn't and unless the Federal government and MLB wants to offer blanket immunity to anybody willing to testify fully and truthfully under oath, we never will. Hopefully the BBWAA haven't gotten their symbolic gesture out of the way and will vote Bonds, Clemens, and Piazza in next year.
Jan 10, 2013 11:08 AM
Corrections, on checking the records of Hall of Famers from the post draft era, I find one, Tom Seaver. I couldn't find any position players in the Hall that were draft eligible and not drafted and most Hall of Fame position players were drafted in the first 4 rounds. There is ample reason to be just as suspicious of Piazza. FWIW, Jose Canseco never failed a drug test either. IMHO, Bonds, Clemens and Piazza all belong in the Hall.
Jan 10, 2013 11:02 AM
Ryne Sandberg in the 20th I believe is the lowest drafted HoFer, although I'm honestly not sure. Smoltz (22nd round) could pass him soon.
Jan 10, 2013 15:45 PM
Ah, Bruce Sutter... he was drafted in the 21st round, didn't sign and sort of gave up baseball, then was found and signed in a semi-pro league a year later.
Jan 10, 2013 15:51 PM
Thanks for all the intelligent responses, I feel Met guilt for even impugning Piazza. Seaver went to the Marines, bulked up there, then went to USC where he made his mark--not before having to drain his own knee of fluid--yuch. Sutter would have to be an outlier though, no, considering he practically invented a new pitch. I'm confident Piazza will get in soon. Along with Aaron Sele.

Mickey Cochrange: FINALLY, a word that rhymes with 'orange'!!
Jan 10, 2013 13:28 PM
No one who saw the entire careers of Fisk, Bench and Piazza would deny that Piazza should be in the HOF. Most of us would still rank Bench way above the others for his on-field leadership and intimidating arm. Bench was also a good pitch caller and more than willing to block the plate against anyone. Neither Fisk nor Gary Carter were considered to be the equal of Bench at the time of their respective careers and for good reason. Bench was a great post-season player who stole as many bases in the post-season as he allowed - seven each! Yep. Bench was also a team leader, which is not quantifiable. Fisk was a tough son-of-a-gun who was not the clubhouse leader Bench was but was much like Bench as an on-field force and also played long enough to accumulate more HR.
Jan 10, 2013 14:30 PM
For Bonds and Clemens, there's not "some" evidence; there's overwhelming evidence.
Jan 10, 2013 14:56 PM
I'd suggest that one reason for Piazza's silence is that he doesn't want to run his mouth and possibly make enemies (justified or not) when he's pretty close to getting elected anyway.
Jan 10, 2013 16:28 PM
Possible. But I also think that someone whom by all accounts is one of the best ever at his position who was clearly kept out because of steroid suspicions would speak up vociferously about it, if he was clean.
Jan 10, 2013 17:56 PM
I wonder how much behind the scenes talk there is about these guys, nothing public, where certain writers get what they consider is trustworthy information, and then vote NO, on say Piazza. Suppose a teammate of HOF Candidate , a teammate with a good reputation, whispers to a writer that the candidate did do PEDs, he knows it for sure. Of course the teammate will not go public, but in his opinion, PED users do not belong in the Hall. Do these guys talk? If they do, no way a writer can cite the conversation, he just votes "no". So while there is no evidence to us, maybe others do have more to go on than increased hat size.
Jan 10, 2013 19:07 PM
I can't imagine too many sportswriters being given trustworthy information on the subject but then not choosing to make money and rep off of it, especially in the current climate. I also can't imagine too many writers who would take an unattributable conversation as ironclad fact. Well, other than Gordon Edes... Conspiracies take a lot of thought and energy, and many of these BBWA guys seem a bit short on both counts.

You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
My bad, I apparently was a little confused, it is all starting to just kind of blur together.
Someone refresh my memory: When/what was the last piece of substantive news about Granger's status?
Them coming back and saying the MRI was negative for a tear.

What about the practice timetable?
A grade II calf strain is 3-6 weeks.
EDIT: Monday will be the beginning of week 5. This is the end of the 3rd week, after they announced 3 weeks.

You say that this is the end of the 3rd week.....yet Monday will be the beginning of Week 5? Do you mean Monday would be beginning of Week 4?
Question to those that knows about these type of sports injuries.....is it possible that if your body isn't in "game shape" that a Player's body that isn't 100% ( or close to 100% ) is more susecptable to minor injuries like this that can take you out for small but extended periods of time?
If this is the case....I'm inclined to simply let Granger rest and fully recover, get his body back into Game shape ( during practice ) so that there is less chance of minor setbacks like this. I fully expect that he will have a lot of rust to shake off.....but that's different than having your Body prepared to handle the rigors of regular Game Play.
I don't want to rush him back when his body isn't fully ready to handle it. If that means that he can sit out until the end of December...heck ,even until January 10th ( the beginning of a 4 game home stand for a week and a half )...just so that his body is 100% ready...I'd do that.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
And yes, not being in in tip-top shape, trying to handle the workload can and will result in injuries. I think it's a good sign, knee wise, that other parts of Danny's body are, for a lack of a better term, breaking down before his knee does.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. ― Ricky Gervais.
Cool. I guess Danny's calves are ready to start bawlin'.
It doesn't mean much...but it's something
Granger (calf) is out on the @tdgarden floor pregame getting shots up. That's a small, but encouraging sign. Still has to practice w/o pain.— Scott Agness (@ScottAgness) November 22, 2013
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Any chance we see Danny tonight? Or any news?
Man I'm hoping to hear that he is back in practice this week. We have some tough road games ahead of us, would be nice to have him available for that 2nd unit.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
Tonight as in actually playing?! Id be happy hearing the guy made it through 2 consecutive practices with out any back cramps or sinus infections or tightness in his spleen.
I think the odds are very high we'll see him tonight, probably showing off a very expensive sport coat.
No. Vogel has said that Danny will not play until they string together some practices without any discomfort.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. ― Ricky Gervais.
I'm not perfect and neither are you.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the esteem of Elohim,
Ephisians 4: 32 And be kind towards one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as Elohim also forgave you in Messiah.
I seriously do not want him to play until he is deemed 100% and can sustain a lot of heavy-duty activity in practice for extended periods of time.
Part of it is that I want to be sure that he is fully healthy....and the other part of me is just tired of him having minor setbacks because he is seemingly rushed back too early.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
If I was Danny, I'd ask that they not give any updates to the press. That way he can come out and drop 25 and 10 on an unsuspecting opponent.
No. They've only been getting one day inbetween games this past week, and for the extended future it looks like, so they're probably having pretty light practices/shoot arounds. I hope they've been having Danny workout, but I've not yet seen any updates on anything.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. ― Ricky Gervais.
I'd assume there is a practice today and from what we know it's been a week since his last attempt. Let's hope we here something today.
The Pacers can afford to take their time with Danny because they are winning! I'm really not concerned when he comes back because I don't really think they even need him.
Danny Granger is probably my second favorite player on the team but I'd rather they take their time and let him come back when he is completely ready. No one should criticize the team for holding him back. Just look at what can happen if you don't give a player enough rest. Derrick Rose suffered a right thigh strain and then tore his right meniscus. We can't say that the two injuries are related but we can't say that they aren't either.

I have a gut feeling based on nothing but my gut feeling that we're probably looking at January here. Use December to get him slowly back to a point where he can practice with some regularity. Start January with some light minutes, maybe every other game to start. After the ASB, have him adjusted to whatever regular minutes he'll see.
That said, I really do feel with Granger, it will be a case where he'll still probably have setbacks, play a few games and then miss a week or two, etc. I've seen this before in far too many injuries: when you're this far behind where you were supposed to be, it's usually chronic, and it's usually going to continue being a problem.
DG was in street clothes at last nights games. I agree with the above. Jan return. And I don't see much pt for him.
That is what I want....wait til January. Get his body into game-shape through as much practice as possible....have him scrimmage for a solid 2-3 week period without any injury...and have him come back in a month.
I would much rather have him fully recover and wait a full month, then rush him back and have a good chance that he get some minor injury that only puts him back on the shelf for an extended period of time.

Officials: No one hurt in Tahoe City house fire
June 21, 2013
TAHOE CITY, Calif. — No one was hurt Wednesday after a quick-moving fire destroyed a Tahoe City home and came dangerously close to engulfing surrounding vegetation and structures.
The fire at 1895 Silver Tip Drive in the Talmont area of Tahoe City was reported at about 4:40 a.m. Wednesday by a neighbor who described the home as "fully engulfed with fire," according to the North Tahoe Fire Protection District.
The home's lone occupant escaped with his dog and was not injured, officials said.
The fire was contained to the structure, which was heavily damaged; its cause remained under investigation as of Thursday afternoon.
"At this time, it's not suspicious in nature," said NTFPD Public Information Officer Dave Zaski.
Upon arrival, crews observed the home "fully engulfed, with trees around the structure torching and downed power lines," according to the fire district.

Units from Calfire and the Squaw Valley Fire Department assisted North Tahoe Fire to quickly extinguish the fire before it spread.
Earlier Tuesday, the greater Truckee/Tahoe region was under a red flag warning, representing critical fire danger.
"The winds had died down and the humidity rose quite a bit, but had it happened eight hours before, we could have had a major situation in that neighborhood," Zaski said. "We would have had our hands full and we could have lost several homes."
The same red flag conditions were in place on June 24, 2007, when the Angora fire ignited. The blaze, which started from an illegal campfire, eventually destroyed 242 residences and 67 commercial structures and scorched 3,100 acres of land in South Lake Tahoe.
Wednesday's incident also marked the second house fire in the Talmont area of Tahoe City this year.
On Jan. 13, a home at 491 Club Drive was destroyed and its four occupants were displaced due to the fire that started after an ember escaped the home's fireplace.
The occupants' three dogs reportedly died in the blaze.

Jones scratched from lineup due to oblique pain
BRADENTON, Fla. -- The removal of Garrett Jones from Thursday's original lineup had a couple of interesting repercussions.
With Brad Hawpe starting instead of Jones at first base and Gaby Sanchez already scheduled to start at third, the Bucs had a new look at both corners of the infield. It was the first Grapefruit League start at those positions for both (Sanchez did start at the hot corner in Tuesday's game against Spain).
Jones' scratch sparked a brief brush fire of speculation that something might be afoot with the Yankees, who have been actively looking for help in the wake of the wrist injury that will force Mark Teixeira to miss as much as the first two months of the season.
The fire was put out soon enough: Jones complained of some soreness in his left side when he got to the clubhouse on Thursday morning, and thus was rested as a precaution.
"I felt it a little bit in the game [Wednesday]," Jones said, "and when I got up in the morning, I felt it a little bit more. I'd never had any problems in the oblique area, so just wanted to be cautious so it doesn't become something more serious."
Jones even participated in the morning warm-up, playing long-toss with Andrew McCutchen and throwing without apparent discomfort. But he skipped the rest of the pregame drills, instead getting treatment. He will "do nothing" on Friday, and likely rest through the weekend before the Pittsburgh staff determines when he might resume playing.

"Connected with…Dee Gordon" premieres Sunday
LOS ANGELES, CA - SportsNet LA is the exclusive 24/7 TV network of the Los Angeles Dodgers that takes fans behind-the-scenes of the team and offers in-depth access into the organization, providing an immersive experience with never-before-seen content and thousands of hours of comprehensive Dodger programming. This Sunday at 5:00 p.m. PT, SportsNet LA debuts the newest episode of "Connected With…," featuring Dodger infielder Dee Gordon sitting down with his former teammate and current SportsNet LA host Jerry Hairston Jr.
In the half-hour installment of SportsNet LA's signature interview series, Gordon tells Hairston about his family, his relationship with Davey Lopes and how he's adapted to the changes this season has brought him. An episode preview is available at http://www.sportsnetla.com/content/snla/shows/connected-with-dodgers.Wq_K9Fq_hJfr.html.
Quote excerpts from Gordon include:
On earning a starting spot at the Major League level: "Dusty Baker told me last year, 'Don't cry your way into any situation, play your way to your situation.' And that was the best advice I think I got."
On Davey Lopes: "The reason why he's been so great for me is because he gets on me like no other, no matter if I did good or bad. If you're wrong, you're wrong, there's no middle with him. I can't do anything but respect that. I don't want anyone to sugar coat anything with me. I had my career sugar-coated when I was a prospect."
On having his dad, Tom "Flash" Gordon, with him at the All-Star game: "It was great because I had been there three times with him. And to have him there with me - that was an awesome feeling. I think that's what hit me more than anything."
On his brother, Nick, being drafted: "I think I'm going to remember his draft day more than mine. I was on the airplane on my way to Colorado and you know, I'm petrified of flying…I normally go to sleep every time because I'm petrified. I stayed up to watch Nicholas get drafted. It was the most excruciating two hours of my life."
Following the debut of "Connected With…Dee Gordon," the "Dodgers Squeeze Play" featuring Gordon's career game on June 6, 2014 will air at 5:30 p.m. In that game, Gordon knocked in a career-high three RBI on three hits, two of which were triples, walked, stole a base and scored twice.
"Connected With…" has previously featured Dodger personalities Stan Kasten, Ned Colletti, Tommy Lasorda, Sandy Koufax, Darryl Strawberry, Dusty Baker, Ron Cey, Clayton Kershaw, Carl Crawford, A.J. Ellis, Andre Ethier, Adrian Gonzalez, Kenley Jansen, Matt Kemp, Hanley Ramirez and Brian Wilson.

Kevin Harvick will be on the pole, but Tony Stewart, who'll start 12th, will be in the spotlight in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race Sunday night at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Stewart is competing for the first time since the sprint car he was driving struck and killed 20-year-old Kevin Ward Jr. in an Aug. 9 race at a dirt track in upstate New York.
Points leader Jeff Gordon was impressed when Stewart ran close to 190 mph in practice Friday at the 1.54-mile tri-oval. Stewart was a bit slower in qualifying at 187.907 that night.
Gordon and other drivers said the return to racing will provide therapy for Stewart, who was visibly emotional as he read a prepared statement Friday.
"The best thing for him is to be in that race car," Gordon said.
Said Harvick, Stewart's teammate at Stewart-Haas Racing: "Being in that car cures a lot of problems for a short time."
In his prepared statement, Stewart said he skipped the last three races "out of respect for Kevin and his family and also to cope with the accident in my own way."
"It's given me the time to think about life and how easy it is to take it for granted," Stewart said. "I missed my team, my teammates and missed being back in the race car. I think that being back in the car this week with my racing family will help me get through this difficult time."
Johnny Morris, the founder of Bass Pro Shops, one of Stewart's primary sponsors, released a statement Saturday expressing support for Stewart in his return. Morris said he met with Stewart last week.
"It made my heart ache to see him so devastated by this incident," said Morris, who described Stewart as "one of the most compassionate and kind-hearted individuals I have ever met."
Sunday's race is the next-to-last before the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
Stewart can make the 16-car Chase field with a win Sunday or next week at Richmond, thanks to a waiver announced by NASCAR on Friday. NASCAR requires its drivers to compete in every event to make the playoff, but Stewart received the waiver that is normally applied to a driver who misses a race for medical reasons.
Gordon and other drivers supported the decision to grant Stewart the waiver.
"The whole intent of eligibility for the Chase is just so that somebody doesn't go just take a vacation after winning a few races," Gordon said.
IndyCar: Will Power won his first series championship, finishing ninth in the final race of the season at Fontana.
Tony Kanaan won the 500-mile, double-points race at the two-mile Auto Club Speedway for his first victory of the season, but Power drove an intelligent race with just enough aggression to preserve his healthy points lead.
After briefly taking the lead late, Power comfortably held off second-place teammate Helio Castroneves and wrapped up Team Penske's first title since 2006.
Starting from the back after a poor qualifying run, Power patiently picked his way through the field to the front. After a restart late in the race, the Australian roared into the lead, showing he wasn't about to back into his first title.
NHRA: Tony Schumacher won the Traxxas Nitro Shootout to earn $100,000 in the U.S. Nationals in Clermont, Indiana. Schumacher, a seven-time Top Fuel season champion who has nine NHRA victories at Lucas Oil Raceway, beat Richie Crampton in the bonus event with a 3.748-second run at 328.54 mph. The run also locked in Schumacher as the qualifying leader with two sessions left.

.Colts' Jamie Silva to miss the season with a torn ACL

Last year's Super Bowl leader in hair will not be able to defend his title this year.
Colts safety Jamie Silva will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Silva -- of no relation to the Raider-hating author of today's AFC East one-liners -- was primarily a special teamer for the Colts the last two years

I am the first to admit that I was surprised by the market's relatively mild reaction to the dueling press conferences of House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday. While the third-quarter GDP projection was revised up to 2.7% from the original projection of 2%, it was expected and most of the drivers of the improved results (inventory build, government spending) are unlikely to be repeated in subsequent quarters. In addition, President Obama's opening gambit ($1.6 trillion in new tax revenue, a minor $400 billion cut from entitlements, $50 billion in new stimulus and control of the debt ceiling from Congress) will do nothing to lower the temperature between the two sides in Washington.
I believe investors are too complacent in thinking the fiscal cliff will be resolved in an orderly fashion by the end of the year. Incentives for both sides to take negotiations right to the deadline and probably into 2013 are strong. I believe that when the majority of investors realize this, it will trigger a significant market selloff.
I am being extremely cautious in my portfolio until there is clarity on the resolution of this issue. I am currently around 65% long, 5% short and 30% in cash. I have had a solid, if not spectacular, 2012 so far, with gains in the low double digits and low volatility. I am in no hurry to jeopardize my year in the final month of trading. That being said, I have a lot of dry powder that I will happily deploy into cheap, solid-yielding stocks should the market slide as I described Thursday.
Investors looking for a cautious investment that should hold up regardless of whatever happens in the next month should consider Walgreen (WAG), the country's largest drugstore chain. A lot of bad news has already been priced into the stock and it offers a good dividend, cheap valuations and improving prospects.
Four reasons WAG is a good value pick at $33 a share:
- The stock pays a dividend of 3.3% and has quadrupled its dividend payout over the last six years.
- Consensus earnings estimates for both 2012 and 2013 have risen significantly over the past three months as the company re-signed with Express Scripts (ESRX) and has started to recapture those customers.
- The stock is selling near the bottom of its five-year valuation range based on price/earnings, price/sales, price/cash flow and price/book ratios. It also sports a cheap five-year projected price/earnings/growth ratio of 0.79.
- Walgreen is still a good play on the aging of the population, and it should be helped on the margins by the approximately 30 million people that will be covered under Obamacare.

AN international barber to the stars is set to open a new purpose-built barbering and hairdressing academy to prove that East Lancashire youngsters are the cut above.
Joseph Lanzante, who is originally from Italy, took over the Men's Room in Clitheroe six years ago and set about training up apprentices who were already working in salons.
Joseph, 55, will open the new facility in Clayton-le-Moors on Wednesday after deciding to make available 12 to 14 week courses to unemployed 16-19-year-olds.
His King Street salon counts soap stars among it's regulars and has also served former Manchester City stars Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli, along with former Blackburn Rovers ace Kevin Gallacher.
The new Walmsley Court acedmey features two full-time teachers who will guide youngsters through the course which will see them gain work experience in a salon and be given the chance to win an apprenticeship.
Dad-of-one Joseph, who employs five people at the Clitheroe Salon, said: "I think it's very important to try and give young people the chance to train on the job and gain valuavble experience.
"We are keen to see those who don't have a job to come in, earn some money, and gain experience that they can take to the next level.
"Before I moved to Clitheroe I ran a chain of 12 salons in London and I have received great support in the last six years.
"There is a shortage of barbers and hairdressers in the country and that's something that I'm trying to address.
"The teachers at the academy are very good and the students will be given great instruction on the trade."
An open evebing will be held on Wednesday, May 7, at the Joseph Lanzante Academy from 6pm to 8.30pm. For more information call 01200 425559 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com

This month at ShortOrder, we've discovered yet another reason to praise Scotsman ice machines. In March, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) named Scotsman ice machines' systems the 2013 Energy Star Partner of the Year. Scotsman's accomplishments were recognized on Tuesday at an awards ceremony held in Washington D.C.
What is the Energy Star Label?
The Energy Star label was created to encourage and promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants, as well as to assist consumers in finding energy-efficient products. It is backed by the EPA, and can be found displayed on products like computers, TVs, kitchen appliances, air conditioners, water heaters, light bulbs, and, of course, Scotsman ice machines.
An Energy Star certified product earns its label by providing significant energy savings, increasing the product's energy efficiency, and performing as well as or better than a higher energy consuming product of its kind, along with several other requirements. These factors are carefully measured and tested in order to be verified, at which point the product receives the Energy Star label.
Scotsman: 2013 Energy Star Partner of the Year
Scotsman was selected from among almost 200,000 organizations to be the recipient of the 2013 Energy Star Partner of the Year. The winner of this award is credited for a dedication to the successful promotion and distribution of its Energy Star products, thereby saving consumers money and reducing levels of greenhouse gas emissions.

Many ag professionals probably noticed the great deal of variability this year in yields that occurred. Part of the variability is due to the presence of soybean cyst nematode (SCN). Why is it important to know where it is and what the levels are? Here are a few reasons:
1. Yield losses can be huge when SCN populations are high and susceptible varieties are planted.
This year in some of our trials, we have documented yield impacts of 100 percent when susceptible varieties were planted into fields with high levels of SCN. The presence of SCN and the drought really hammered some plants this year.
2. SCN tends to sit in pockets, especially in no-till production systems - so knowing where to sample is important
From our North Central Soybean Research Program funded project we have been able to grid sample numerous fields over the past 5 years. From this exercise we have also been able to show how variable SCN is in fields. Within a 25' span - we can go from undetectable levels to over 2,000 eggs/cup of soil. This level is where we begin to see measurable yield losses. Monitoring a field and noting where yields are low is key and those are the places to target soil samples to begin with. Long-term monitoring of the location and the size of the infestation to be sure it doesn't grow and get out of hand.
3. SCN is adapting to some of the sources of SCN resistance.
We have found, in Ohio, some populations that like to feed on the roots of plants that have the genes from the primary source of resistance, PI 88788. We don't know how widespread this is, but it does mean that if you have been planting SCN resistant varieties, then you all must be sure to monitor SCN as well. Farmers are not off the hook from soil sampling. If the populations in your field have adapted, you will see an increase in SCN populations over time - not a decline.
4. Rotation might not be working as well as it should.
We have visited some fields in Ohio over the past 3 years where SCN is a major problem. These are fields where SCN populations got above the 10,000 eggs/cup of soil or greater. The producers did the right thing and rotated out of soybeans for 3 or more years. Replanted again with a resistant soybean and got hammered again. When we took samples from these fields, the numbers were still too high. This phenomenon has been observed by both Greg Tylka at Iowa State University and Terry Niblack when she was in Missouri. We have some SCN populations that are really only interested in feeding on soybeans and they will wait until the field is planted.
5. Best management practice overall - is to keep those populations low and don't let them get above the 5,000 eggs/cup of soil mark. It's a lot easier to keep low populations low than it is to reduce high populations!
This can be done with rotation - rotation - rotation - keep the numbers low by planting non-hosts (corn, wheat and alfalfa); keep weeds under control in the fall and spring that might add another cycle of reproduction; and plant varieties with the best SCN resistance package. If SCN populations stay below this level then hopefully we will not end up in a situation like number 4.
6. So sample - target the areas where you saw the yields drop, plants were stunted or they matured early than the rest of the field. They tend to be the hot spots. Note the size of these areas in the fields and continue to monitor them. But also remember that SCN can reduce yields significantly without causing any visible symptoms.
Here is a rough guideline:
-- If your populations come back as non-detectable (0) - and you have a good 3 crop rotation (corn, wheat, soy) and you do not plant a double crop - sample for SCN every 20 years.
-- If your populations come back as non-detectable (0) and you have wheat in your rotation but you double crop - sample for SCN every 10 years.
-- If your populations are non-detectable (0) and you plant corn/soybean - sample every 10 years
-- If have SCN populations of 40 to 2,000 - and you rotate corn/soybean/wheat - sample every 5 years
-- If SCN populations are 40 to 2,000 and you only plant soybeans - sample EVERY year
-- If SCN populations have gotten out of control in the past (>2,000) - sample EVERY year
Finally, fall is the best time to sample. It gives time for the labs to process them so you can make the best decision for choosing your variety for next year.
The following labs all process soil for SCN:

Care, Attention, Resources, Information, Nutrition and Optimism Project (CARIÑO Project) will provide outreach support services to patients with poorly controlled diabetes, such as health education, lifestyle changes, home visits, follow-up phone calls, support groups, one on one counseling and coaching, and assistance with resource referrals.
Behavioral: CARIÑO Project
Care Attention Resources Information Nutrition & Optimism Project (CARIÑO) is a CHW intervention that will involve 4 or more (as required) home visits, 10 group sessions, and 10 follow-up phone calls per subject over a 12-month period. The primary outcome is lower HgA1C levels. The secondary outcomes are to lower LDL levels, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure, medication adherence and improved diet and exercise. CARIÑO Project will provide outreach support services to patients with poorly controlled diabetes, such as health education, lifestyle changes, home visits, follow-up phone calls, support groups, one on one counseling and coaching, and assistance with resource referrals.
Detailed Description:
Disparities in the epidemiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors among Latinos have been extensively described; however, traditional medical models of CVD risk reduction have not been very effective in Latinos. One promising strategy is the use of community-based community health workers (CHWs). CHWs have long been used in Latin-America as an integral part of their health care delivery system. Further, preliminary data from our prior pilot diabetes self-management CHW program have shown improvements in lipids. However, because of a lack of effectiveness data from studies using rigorous experimental designs, the adoption of the CHW model has been quite limited both locally and nationally. In MHHI, our goal is to examine the effectiveness of a CHW intervention in CVD risk reduction among Latinos.
We propose to examine the effectiveness of a multilevel CHW intervention as an adjunct to routine primary care in reducing CVD risk factors among diabetic Latinos Miami. The UM Jay Weiss Center which has substantial experience in Community Health Worker Program will take the lead role in the development and implementation intervention of the CHW program.
The study design is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of 300 Latino patients ages 35-70 with poorly controlled diabetes (AIC >=8.0) followed at the Ambulatory Care Clinic (ACC) of Jackson Memorial Hospital (JMH).
Primary Objective: To determine if the CHW intervention results in lowering of CVD risk factors including blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, and diabetes control (AIC) as measured by the Total Framingham Risk Score (FRS).
Secondary Objectives: To determine if the CHW intervention results in improvements in the following putative mechanisms that may influence the FRS:
- Medication adherence (measured by validated instruments)
- Improvements in diet and exercise (as measured by validated instruments);
Hypotheses: Among patients receiving care at the ACC we hypothesize that as compared to those in enhanced usual care, patients randomized to the CHW intervention at 18 months will have:
- Greater reductions in blood pressure and low density lipoprotein (LDL)
- Improved glycemic control
- Greater rates of medication adherence (taking >80% of specified medication doses)
- Increases in physical activity (kcal/week)
- Increases in mean number of daily vegetables consumed
The CHW intervention will involve 4 or more (as required) home visits, 10 group sessions, an 10 follow-up phone calls per subject over a 12-month time period. The primary outcome is a HgA1C; secondary outcomes include LDL levels, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Baseline and follow-up data on medication adherence, medication intensification, diet and exercise will also be collected.
The control group will continue to receive usual care from their primary care physician. We will enhance the usual care that these patients receive by providing them with three sets of educational materials published by the NIH.

First, a disclaimer about this experiment and the analysis.
In retrospect, this experiment was flawed. The subject matter and style of delivery was very clearly geared in favor of one of the combatants. When it was initially conceived, it was decided that the experiment would best be delivered through a post that announced itself. By checking traffic statistics on a post titled: "The StumbleUpon Digg Experiment", there would be equal billing, equal exposure, and most importantly, equal chances through the delivery methods to give both sides a chance.

Key changes that took effect last week within Target's merchandising organization are intended to maximize the retailer's long range opportunities within the rapidly growing grocery business.
Food and consumables categories have been the strongest performers at Target since the retailer embarked on PFresh store remerchandising initiative four years ago. As that massive undertaking enters its final stages this year and next, Target's EVP of merchandising and supply chain, Kathee Tesija, announced several category realignments within the grocery categories that took effect on July 7.
For example, VP/GMM David Mirelez retained his responsibilities for produce, bakery, deli and food avenue, but his responsibilities for the meat category were assigned to VP/GMM Tom Olson, according to the announcement from Tesija. In addition to meat, Olson retained his responsibilities for the dairy and frozen categories, but his oversight of the dry grocery business was assigned to VP/MM Rachael Vegas. She is also responsible for candy and snacks. Her prior responsibilities for pets beverages and liquor were assigned to Nikhil Nayar who was named VP/MM after previously serving as VP of Target.com and mobile merchandising.

Cysteine is a non-essential amino acid that is biosynthesized in the human body under normal conditions. It is also found in foods that are rich in high quality protein such as pork, chicken, eggs, whey protein, cheeses and also in plant sources like onions, garlic, Brussels sprouts and wheat germ. Cysteine can also be manufactured industrially through the hydrolysis of human hair and most recently, duck feathers.
Cysteine is found to be a treatment for medical conditions such as angina, respiratory illnesses, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, AIDS symptoms and may be a promising supplement to prevent many types of cancers.
History and Origin
Cysteine may also be used as a supplement in the form of N-acetyl-L-cysteine. The body converts this chemical into cysteine through biosynthesis and then into glutathione which is considered a powerful antioxidant. Since cysteine is easily derived from most high quality protein sources (plant and animal sources) it may not be difficult to obtain it through diet alone.
Ancient Uses
The use of cysteine during ancient times was nonexistent but the natural sources of cysteine are considered a staple food of many ancient tribes and cultures. Meat and meat byproducts are all used as food plus protein plant sources such as green leafy vegetables, whole wheat and lentils are also cultivated and are used as food sources.
Modern Uses
During modern times, cysteine has been found to benefit the many metabolic processes of the human body as well as biosynthesis of many chemicals in the body as well. Cysteine is also found to have therapeutic properties and may even cure or treat many conditions or illnesses.
Overdose of alcohol and acetaminophen is treated with an Intravenous injection of cysteine. It can prevent subsequent liver and kidney damage that is common in overdoes of harmful chemicals, medicines and other substances.
People who have heart conditions and may have angina attacks may benefit from a combination treatment of cysteine and nitroglycerin. Clinical trials have revealed that there is promising results of decreased angina attacks in people who had this combination therapy as compared to people who just took nitroglycerin or cysteine alone.
Cysteine may also be useful in the treatment of the many conditions of the respiratory system like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis and emphysema. As a supplement, it may also be a promising treatment for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and AIDS/HIV.
In the treatment of cataracts, cysteine is found to be beneficial in the treatment of cataract symptoms as well as macular degeneration.
Cysteine is also a possible treatment for infertility when combined with infertility drugs and may also be the cure for polycystic ovary disease as opposed to surgery.
Side Effects
Pregnant and breastfeeding women are not advised to take cysteine supplements or medications with this formulation. Even as a form of dietary supplement, cysteine may also cause interactions or adverse drug interactions. It is therefore important to seek the opinion of a doctor if you want to use this chemical or supplement for your illness.
Orally, cysteine may cause nausea, vomiting and in rare cases, diarrhea. Never self medicate with this supplement and ask a medical professional regarding the desired dosage for your conditions. Extremely high doses of more than 7 grams may cause cell toxicity and may even lead to death.

Will the real University of Louisville football team please stand up?
Are the Cardinals the juggernaut they showed they can be during the first half against North Carolina when they ran up a 36-7 halftime lead?
Or the team that looked completely different in the second half when they were lucky to stave off a North Carolina rally that scared the bejabbers out of Cardinal fans before their team won 39-34. Yes, the Tar Heels outscored UofL 27-3 in the second half.
As usual, Cardinal quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was on fire in the first two quarters, passing for three touchdowns. The Cardinals simply made it look perhaps too easy because they and the Tar Heels were totally different teams in the second half.
The Cardinals moved up two spots from 20th to 18th in USA Today's Coaches Poll.
Next up for UofL is a 7 p.m. Saturday game against Florida International in Miami that will be televised by ESPNU.
Cats No Thin 30
The big question of the day is not if the Big Blue will switch football coaches, but when.
Never since the Chalie Bradshaw days when all but 39 of the Wildcats were run off has the program been as low as it now is.
While I don't think there is anything that Joker Phillips can do to save his job, he might try by taking the red shirt off quarterback Patrick Towles. Here is a young man who can play and is big enough and strong enough to withstand the pressure and bruises any Division One quarterback will endure.
The ineptness of Kentucky's recruiting was embarrassing. A Kentucky freshman from Fort Campbell High School, Antonio Andrews, was Mr. Football last season. UK didn't want him. Well, Western did. You know what Mr. Andrews did to the Wildcats? He torched them for three touchdowns plus the deciding extra two-pointer in overtime. Yes, it was a trick play. Unfair! Unfair! Well that's what coaches are for. But Willie Taggert's Hilltoppers worked it to perfection and nipped the Cats 32-31.
A lot of Big Blue supporters for two consecutive games have voted with glaring absent rear ends in the Commonwealth Stadium seats. Only 53,980 saw the game. But that was better than the 48,000 that watched the previous game.
UK sophomore quarterback Maxwell Smith was touched for four interceptions. He passed the ball 60 times, completed 34 for 332 yards and two touchdowns.
What should UK do to right the ship?
One available, competent coach is Bobby Petrino. Yes, I know that he carries a lot of baggage, but he can coach. Yes, he is no choir boy, but of all the coaches I have known, only three or four of them have been.
Bringing in the former Louisville and Arkansas coach – NOW! – would send a message that Kentucky is getting serious about football and would open the door to recruits who can play football.
The Cats travel to Gainesville, Fla., Saturday for a 12:21 game with Florida. It will be televised by Insight 194.
Look for the Gators to pile it on the Wildcats if they can because their coach's job reportedly is in jeopardy.

The Willits City Council voted 4-1 on Wednesday, with Councilman Larry Stranske opposed, to contract with Mendocino County Planning and Building Services for routine planning services. At this time the city has no one in its planning department to address even the most rudimentary planning issue.
City Manager Adrienne Moore cited a growing backlog of planning inquiries and projects in recommending this action. Following the retirement in December 2012 of its community development director the city has contracted services to a private firm, hired a planner, and rehired the former director Alan Falleri on a part time basis. Due to California pension rules, Falleri is not allowed to work any more hours for the city as of July 1, leaving the city plannerless.
While several members of the council expressed reluctance to hire a part time planner from the county, most expressed the view it was a stop gap measure needed to buy time for a better solution.
The preliminary cost of the part time support is estimated at $50,000 plus travel and incidental expenses for fiscal year 2014-2015. The on site planning services, conducted two days per week for four hours each, will include responding to "planning and zoning inquiries including code enforcement related zoning interpretations, accept and review planning applications for completeness, review building permits, review business license applications, review ABC (Alcohol Beverage Control) applications, meet with city staff and planning applicants, conduct site review and assist staff with maintaining planning files."
The planner will then provide about 10 hours per week of off site planning support out of the Ukiah office. This off site work will include "project review, report preparation, hearing noticing, and similar permit processing activities including environmental review, and documentation." By special request the county may provide assistance with various inter-agency planning issues; requests for proposals; contracts; grant applications for planning related services; and city planning budget preparation.
Specifically excluded from the scope of work for this proposed contract are updates to the city's general plan housing elements, ordinance amendments and similar activities.
The services contract, once finalized, can be canceled with 30 day notice by either party, according to Moore.
Stranske expressed his view that the city needed a full time planner and should be pushing forward on locating and hiring same.
While several other councilmembers echoed this view, they also acknowledged the city was obligated to provide planning services now, and not hold up projects.
Moore acknowledged the proposed part time contracted planner could not be expected to do the work of a full time on-site city planner. She believed this proposed option was the best fiscal choice available to the city at this time.
The topic of planning services is likely to be taken up at the August 13 council meeting dealing with the red ink in the 2014-2015 fiscal year budget.
City staff was directed to bring a balanced budget to the council for a vote at that time. Moore advised the council requiring the same service levels with fewer people was not a realistic option. She said the city also had to look at reducing services as well.

Shopping For A New TV is Easy!
Shopping for a new television? You may be feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the choices: Smart TVs, 4K TVs, LED TVs, Curved TVs, Flat Screen TVs. The new generation of televisions offers the greatest advances to hit the market since the advent of the color tube. With their vivid colors and incredibly crisp and clear images, they'll make you feel like you're actually at the game or starring in a movie.
So which is the right one for you? It really depends on your viewing preferences, and how and where you use your TV. Select your options by price, brand, styles, and top sellers or simply browse the offerings shown.
What Are The Different Types of TVs?
To help you shop for your new television, here are some brief descriptions of the different technologies on the market:
- LED TV – Because LED TVs use Light-Emitting Diode backlighting instead of fluorescent lighting, they produce images and picture quality with a greater dynamic contrast. They're known for their brightness – making them great for viewing in well-lit rooms – as well as their low power consumption and lightweight design. They're also very slim and take up minimal space.
- LCD TV – An LCD TV uses Liquid Crystal Display technology for its visual output (as opposed to cathode ray or plasma). The breathtaking imagery offered by LCD TVs is just one of the reasons why these televisions are so popular.
- SMART TV – Television and the internet have finally come together so now you can rent movies, stream free content, surf the web and more…all through your TV. The latest smart TVs now feature stronger processing power and improved intuitive interfaces, with more apps and streaming services than ever before. So you can watch whatever you want, whenever you want.
- 4K TV – The new standard in television now is Ultra High Definition, also known as 4K. With four times the number of pixels as a 1080p screen, a 4k screen offers incredible imagery…so vivid and crisp, your favorite shows, movies and sports come alive.
- CURVED TV – Curved screens may be the future of TV. Not only do they offer a more immersive viewing experience by "wrapping" towards you, they also enhance your sense of depth, give you a wider field of view and offer better contrast than "non curved" screens. Check them out and decide for yourself.
- 3D TV – 3D TVs employ the latest technology today, allowing you to view three-dimensional TV shows, movies and video games. They boast high refresh rates so that two images can be displayed at the same time – one to each eye – allowing you to perceive depth. Most 3D TVs require the use of special 3D glasses.
