Five American Men Face Terror Charges In Pakistan
Five men from the Washington, D.C., area were formally charged by a Pakistani court on Wednesday with multiple counts of terrorism-related crimes. The young men were arrested in Pakistan in December. Host Michel Martin speaks with Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American Islamic Relations, about the latest developments.
MICHEL MARTIN, host:
I'm Michel Martin, and this is TELL ME MORE from NPR News.
Coming up, we hear from you. It's our weekly backtalk segment and it's coming up in a few minutes.
But first, we go back to the case of those American Muslim men who have been accused of trying to link up with a terrorist group in Pakistan. On Wednesday, a Pakistani court charged them with multiple counts of terrorism-related crimes. The defendants all young Muslim men from the Washington, D.C. area pleaded not guilty to the charges. The most serious of the of the crimes carries a punishment of life in prison.
The case dates back to December when the five were arrested in Pakistan. Concerned family members had reported them missing and alerted the Council on American-Islamic Relations that the men were likely in Pakistan. CAIR, in turn, contacted U.S. authorities and they have followed the matter closely since.
So, for an update, we called Nihad Awad. He is CAIR's executive director. He's with us now. Welcome back. Thanks so much for joining us once again.
Mr. NIHAD AWAD (Executive Director, Council on American-Islamic Relations): Thank you for having me.
MARTIN: So, the five men, just to recap, are ranging in age from 18 to 24 years old. You have been in contact with their families. What have these young men been telling their families about their conditions and the conditions that led to their arrest?
Mr. AWAD: Well, the only way they communicate among themselves is through writing and these letters are delivered through the State Department. They've been complaining about the way they have been mistreated from the beginning, blindfolded, led to places where they don't know and they were beaten. They were deprived from food, water for at least 36 hours. And allegedly, they were forced to say what the Pakistani government wants them to say. And they were even threatened with electrocution. Of course, these are serious allegations of torture that I believe need to be investigated by both the Pakistani and American government.
MARTIN: You have a copy of the letter that one of the young men wrote to his relatives. It was dated March 10th, could you just read the first couple of lines?
Mr. AWAD: Well, it says that on December 8th they were kidnapped by some men and these people, meaning the police, pointed guns at them and started beating them after blindfolding them. And one of the five says they beat the hell out of me and others.
MARTIN: Can you tell us which young man this was? Which of the young men wrote this?
Mr. AWAD: The...
MARTIN: You prefer not to identify the particular person who wrote this.
Mr. AWAD: Yeah.
MARTIN: But you are sure that this is an authentic letter from one of the detainees.
Mr. AWAD: Yeah. The mother sent it to me after she received it on the same day, which was, like, a couple of days ago.
MARTIN: Well, you know, the ones that interpret this in different ways, I mean, they are saying that they were kidnapped. If they were lawfully arrested, then they were lawfully arrested.
Mr. AWAD: Yeah.
MARTIN: And one could also argue that if guns were used, that might be legitimate if they felt that they were engaged in planning a terrorist attack, you know, that might be a reasonable precaution that law enforcement would make.
Mr. AWAD: Right. Yeah. They say the ones who arrested them did not have any uniform. But, yeah, eventually it is the Pakistani authorities or intelligence agencies.
MARTIN: There has been some discussion about whether the men should have been returned to the United States to face charges. What is the status of that conversation? I mean, they have been charged in Pakistan and I just wondered whether there was any further discussion about bringing them to the United States to face charges.
Mr. AWAD: Yeah, I truly don't understand why they are there except for the fact that they were arrested in Pakistan and they have been charged in Pakistan. But the fact that the parents and community leaders came forward and worked with the government to look for these five people who were missing, I think families and community leaders expect the U.S. government to intervene, at least to ensure that they're not tortured and they are safe.
And there will be due process and these courts would be open. The trials will not be conducted in secrecy and to ensure their safety. And the least is to maybe facilitate communication between parents and these young people through a phone call just to make sure that they are okay.
MARTIN: But they have not had any oral contact with these young men. The only contact has been through letters like this?
Mr. AWAD: Exactly.
MARTIN: Do they have legal counsel?
Mr. AWAD: They have legal representation. They we do not know how the Pakistani judicial system works. Do they have one lawyer representing all of them or do they have, you know, five lawyers representing them individually? We do not know.
MARTIN: How come you don't know?
Mr. AWAD: All what we see in the press is one lawyer being quoted representing the defendants.
MARTIN: The families don't know?
Mr. AWAD: The families are only one parent Im aware of that she's trying to contact the lawyer and she's been in touch with him. But the others, they seem to have difficulty. They've been trying to communicate with the Pakistani authorities. We ourselves have met with the Pakistani ambassador and he's been graciously receiving us and we requested that if he can just facilitate communication so that the families know exactly what's going on. One parent is trying to travel there to meet and see what kind of legal representation their son has.
MARTIN: Are these five young men all American citizens?
Mr. AWAD: They're all five American citizens, most of them born and raised in Northern Virginia.
MARTIN: So, presumably the American embassy has been in contact with them.
Mr. AWAD: Yeah. The American consulate has been transferring and maybe sending the messages between the detainees and their parents. But, again, as you said, none of the families had been able to communicate verbally or hear the voice of their sons.
MARTIN: So the trial is set to start at the end of this month, what do you expect to happen?
Mr. AWAD: Well, again, I hope that it will be an open trial. There will be no secrecy, that these serious allegations of torture will be investigated and should not be dismissed. Because I heard some commentators yesterday saying, all these possible al-Qaeda recruited men were told, if you are caught just claim or allege torture.
Well, what if they were tortured? And what if confession has been exacted under duress? I believe if this is what happened, then all these confessions would be thrown out of court and these people might be found innocent, not guilty. So, we should not take it lightly. They are American citizens. And we know that the judicial system in Pakistan has been in shambles for some years and there have been political interference and also there has been lots of resistance.
So, I'm sure that the judicial system in Pakistan is working itself to be a good mother. But in the midst of this, we want to make sure that American citizens are not tortured and there's an open trial, it's not secret and there's due process of law.
MARTIN: And, finally, I do take your point. And you're right, I don't know what the legal system there is either. On the other hand, one has to assume that if they had legitimate reasons for being in Pakistan, they would have informed their families.
Mr. AWAD: Yeah, I mean...
MARTIN: They would not have just disappeared. So...
Mr. AWAD: They were charged with crimes that if everything just goes as smoothly as we see in the press, they may get life in prison. However, if they were tortured and their confessions were extracted by force in any credible legal system, these allegations would be thrown out of court and these people would be found innocent.
MARTIN: Well, if you would keep us posted, we'd be grateful. Nihad Awad is the executive director of the Council of American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR. He was kind enough to join us in our Washington, D.C. studios. Thank you so much.
Mr. AWAD: Thank you.

I was having a discussion with someone today about the idea that if the church could see us as we really are at home, at work, behind closed doors, etc., it might not be too pretty.
For example, I said something recently and KNEW immediately I shouldn't have said it even if only one person (actually two) heard it.
Some of us (Christians) are called hypocrites for a reason. I'm guilty.
A minister once said, "a true spiritual person is who he is behind closed doors."
There was a song … "and no one knows what goes on behind closed doors … "
It should have been written, "… and someone knows what goes on behind closed doors!"
We don't need to worry about the CIA, FBI, or whoever else is spying … the Holy Spirit has them beat by a long shot, and He excels in knowing about every bone that's hidden in our closets. What does He see, and what stories would He have to tell? Yikes!! He wants our closets cleaned out!
Thank God for His forgiveness, grace and mercy! There's a reason we need all of Him and what He has to offer!

A Timeline of the Tragic Shuttle Launch That Changed NASA Forever
Thirty years ago, the space shuttle Challenger exploded. The tragedy shocked a nation caught in launch fever, and reshaped how NASA thought about risk.
Thirty years ago, the space shuttle Challenger exploded. The tragedy shocked a nation caught in launch fever, and reshaped how NASA thought about risk.
August 30, 1983: It's never a good sign when nature gets too involved in a rocket launch. This lightning storm put on a spectacular display during rainy skies the morning before Challenger blasted off in the first pre-dawn launch of the space shuttle program.
One day before the unfortunate SpaceX launch failure—which proved once again that space is hard—a new, deeply saddening but inspiring exhibition was opened at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida.
Today is Day of Remembrance for human spaceflight, a day selected for its proximity to horrific moments when we lost astronauts during our quest to explore our solar system. On January 28th, NASA takes the day to reflect on the lives lost during their missions when things went catastrophically, unexpectedly wrong.
YouTuber lunarmodule 5 is back with another NASA compilation video. This time, it's a four-screen tribute to the Space Shuttle, showing every launch of the Shuttle's 135 missions. It'll make your spine tingle.
Space is beautiful, enchanting, awe-inspiring, and utterly unforgiving. We celebrate the victories, but don't let a string of successes deceive you into thinking spaceflight is easy. A new documentary investigates the major malfunctions, technical and procedural, that led to NASA space shuttle explosions.
The "massive malfunction" that killed seven astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1986 also forever changed NASA, an agency that seemed infallible. What breakdown in the decision-making process led to the shuttle lifting off? The organizational structure of NASA itself played a bigger role than you might…
From the archives: On June 7th, 1983, Astronauts Story Musgrave (left) and Don Peterson orbit the Earth at over 17,000 miles per hour, tethered to the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle Challenger on the inaugural spacewalk of NASA's Space Shuttle program. How's that for breathtaking?
In memory of the men and women who lost their lives in the quest for space exploration. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden participates in a wreath laying ceremony as part of NASA's Day of Remembrance, Friday, Jan. 31, 2014, at Arlington National Cemetery.
The Challenger crew died in a fatal explosion 28 years ago today. Left to right: Sharon Christa McAuliffe, Gregory Jarvis, Judith A. Resnik, Francis R. (Dick) Scobee, Ronald E. McNair, Mike J. Smith, and Ellison S. Onizuka.
Michael Hindes of West Springfield, MA, was sorting through boxes of his grandparents' old photographs when he happened upon 26 harrowing photos of the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster of 1986. To his knowledge, these photos have never been publicly released.
In 1984, NASA physicist Ronald E. McNair became the second African-American man to fly in space. Tragically, McNair died just two years later in the Challenger disaster. With the help of StoryCorps, McNair's brother Carl pays tribute to McNair with this uplifting story of a young Ronald McNair trying to borrow books…
The bombing of Nagasaki, the explosion of the Hindenburg, and the Challenger disaster have all been immortalized into smoke-filled photography. Artist Brock Davis has reproduced those iconic explosions in an unlikely medium: cauliflower.
Twenty-five years ago today, the nation watched as the most diverse space crew in history took off into the sky. But after just seventy-three seconds that journey turned into a technological catastrophe like none we had ever seen before.
There's something eerie and very sad about this beautiful photo of the Space Shuttle Challenger, crawling in the mist to Launch Complex 39-B. Days later, on January 28, 1986, the spacecraft disintegrated 73 seconds after lift-off, killing all astronauts aboard.
In a little over two weeks, skydiving specialist Michel Fournier plans to break the world record for the highest skydive ever attempted.

Creating a Shabby Chic Paint Effect on a Frame & a Limewash Effect on Wood
Article by Claire Bond
I paint over Gilding which also goes by the name of Gold Leaf using a Polvin paint which is water based. If the gold is paint, it is necessary to do a meths test to ascertain if the gold is solvent based or water based.
Dip meths on a cloth and rub the frame. If gold comes off, the paint is water based and can be painted in any water based paint. If the gold does not come off onto the cloth use a Universal Undercoat before applying the Polvin.
NB**Should the item be a large unit or chair, rather than a small picture frame or object, it is best to undercoat in a Universal Undercoat.
Once the undercoat has dried (after approximately 8 hours) apply 2 coats of Polvin. (Polvin is water based and will dry within an hour).
Creating a Limewash Paint Effect on Wooden Furniture
Creating a Shabby Chic Paint Effect
STEP 1: I suggest you use Afternoon Shower (Y4-C2-3) as your Polvin base colour. Apply 2 coats using a brush if you are painting a frame and a sponge roller for larger flat items.
STEP 2: Apply candle wax (using cheap white candles from any grocery outlet) to the raised areas of the frame to create a shabby chic paint effect. Using the wax is a paint effect called wax resistance technique.
STEP 3: Mix up 60% white Polvin water based paint plus 40% acrylic scumble (use a container). Do not over-complicate the dilutions. 50% plus 50% does the trick, but from my experimenting I prefer a slightly thicker consistency. This mix must be painted over your base colour of Afternoon Shower as well as the areas you waxed.
Allow this white mix to get tacky (wait approximately 3 minutes) and then with a piece of cloth, wipe the sticky scumbled mix off. The white paint will stay in the recessed areas of the frame (provided the frame has detail).
Wherever the wax was placed the white paint will not stick and the Afternoon Shower will be revealed. Your shabby chic paint effect is now complete! Experiment using a pine frame and then try out the same idea using a frame with some detail.

'My FAVOURITE book of 2016" Amazon Reviewer. A hilarious and heartwarming comedy from the bestselling author of The List. Perfect for fans of Holly Martin, Kat French and Lindsey Kelk.
Thirty-eight year old Emily has a satisfying job, fab friends, an amazing car and, most importantly, a wonderful flat, exactly 411 miles away from the judgemental, batshit crazy, interfering family she reluctantly sees twice a year. In fact, the only minor stress in her life is her twenty-something neighbour Evan and his penchant for flirting, loud music and even louder sex . . . but he's nothing she can't handle.
Emily also has a boyfriend called Robert and it's going really well. So well, in fact, that Emily is hoping to take him home to meet her family. Finally she won't be subject to five days of nosy questions from her parents and pity from her younger married siblings.
But when Robert breaks up with her a week before the trip, Emily is gutted. How on earth is she going to face her family now? Enlisting the help of party boy Evan, Emily is determined for Robert to meet the parents come hell or high water, even if it isn't the real Robert . . .
Joanna Bolouri is a FANTASTIC author and if you don't believe me, I will beat you up with one of her books. She's only written three books but she's become an auto-buy author for me because she's such a witty, warm writer; and her guys are kinda hot. In a time where I worry my love for Chick Lit is waning, Joanna has come along, once again, and proven me wrong, because The Most Wonderful Time of the Year is an AMAZING devour-it-in-four-hours kinda read. TELL THE WORLD THEY NEED TO READ IT KINDA READ. So what are you waiting for? Go and bloody well read it.
Christmas is my favourite time of year (as long as I get Boxing Day off otherwise it's ruined) – I love spending Christmas Day and Boxing Day with family, doing nothing, eating loads of food, and I have never been more thankful for MY family than I do after reading about the Carson's, because by golly gosh are they a nosey clan. But, and I feel I really need to stress this because it's important: they love each other absolutely. Even if Emily's mum is always telling her about her flaws. That's what I loved the most – yes Emily's family do her head in to the point where she feels she needs to bring a fake boyfriend for the four-day annual pilgrimage up to Scotland, after her real boyfriend turned out to be a rat in disguise, but that time in Scotland was bloody epic. The pages for that four day just flew by – with quizzes, karaoke, films, food, interrogations the army would be proud of, and it just completely encapsulated what Christmas is all about. No matter what, you cannot beat a family Christmas.
Joanna also writes the most cracking characters. I loved Emily – her spark, her wit, her voice, it was all amazing and I feel like I could have read another 400 pages, and Evan. BE STILL MY BEATING HEART. The whole entire concept of Evan being fake Robert was ridiculous but absolutely amazing, because Evan was amazing and he totally pulled it off. Also? His chemistry with Emily is OFF THE CHARTS, people. They were incredibly entertaining together, even if they did wind each other up most of the time.
I absolutely loved every page of The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. It was entertaining, fast-paced, with characters I loved and I LOVED the Carson clan in the only way you can, sure in the knowledge that you never have to go to one of their Christmases, although saying that, I'm sure it would be epic. And intense. And worth it. Joanna Bolouri is such a good writer, she's on-point, she knows how to make me laugh and swoon and want more pages! This is so good, the perfect Christmas novel that will have you swooning all over your Christmas tree.

It's not everyday one gets to say they were delayed because a bald eagle decided to sit in the middle of the road.
But for drivers in Clearwater, Florida, that's exactly the honest yet still unbelievable excuse they may have had to give employers and teachers on Oct. 5, CBS reports.
At first, authorities had no idea why the bald eagle refused to move.
When they investigated further, however, they realized the sad truth: a car had hit the eagle and driven away.
The bird's wing was injured while the animal also suffered a chipped bone.
Police explain they had to stand and wait alongside delayed drivers for wildlife workers to help.
After removing the eagle, the animal received surgery. The eagle will undergo rehab before releasing him back into the wild.
"She's very lucky," said Kris Porter, a licensed rehabber involved in the rescue.
The Owl's Nest Sanctuary for Wildlife said the eagle should be fine.
"The prognosis according to the Veterinarians is very good for this beautiful Bald Eagle, and we are hoping for a speedy recovery and a quick release back into the wild," the sanctuary said on its website.
On its Facebook page, the group added that they are now selling portraits of the bird to help pay for both the eagle's rehabilitation and that of other animals like her.
"We at Owl's Nest Sanctuary for Wildlife are a Non-Profit Organization and all the people here are Volunteers, donating their own time and money for the greater cause of Wildlife," they write. "Your donations are appreciated to allow us to continue to do what we do. Hope you enjoy the series of photos."
Many on social media praised authorities, while others made jokes about the unusual situation.
"Hahaha they're all just standing there staring at him like "yup... You're the cause of all this," one Facebook user laughingly remarked on the Clearwater Police Department's page.
"Kudos to these police officers and rescue workers, no work is beneath these men and women," another user added. "It's nice to know they even take care of the most trivial situations. Much love and keep up the good work!"

So we got 4 packages today and two envelopes! Brian got two of the packages and it was super cool stuff for him (ie boring sports collectable crap) I got my backordered SU paper and a TAC order (but not for me, for customers) and my friend Linzy sent me punchies of the giga oval and circle. Also I got a nice card and check :) from a TAC customer.
So you know what I had to do at naptime! YUP make cards of course. I'm really happy that the crab is playing well with the yummy papers I got. I love that card. The second card I'm not as sure about. I'm gonna blame Ethan who woke up from his nap and was "helping" me with it. (Ethan's just 9 months old his helping was wanting to nurse, then eating crayons and making a cute mess with that) Anyhow it's ok, I'll keep it, but I'm not in love.

Ravi Bopara intent on making up for lost time with England
There is a touching innocence about Ravi Bopara, who is hoping to reestablish his international career when he returns to the England side to play West Indies tomorrow.
Asked by the Hampshire press officer what he thought of the Ageas Bowl, the expectation being that he would praise it as a fine example of a modern cricket arena, he looked uncomprehending and replied that the walk from the dressing room to the middle was "a long way for nought".
Not that Bopara, who hopes to go in at No 4 in the first match of the NatWest Series, is thinking in terms of failing. "I feel in a good space," he said. "I am moving well and hitting the ball well, I like the new…

Complete waste of money!
- Review by Ali 2/16/2017
- I bought this product lately. Although many reviews rated it highly, I was very disappointed with the results! Other products like optimum preworkout gave me more energy and results than this one.
Another good product from Universal.
- Review by Powersmokin 1/18/2016
- Have compared to N.O.-Xplode and i like this better. Granted the pills aren't as easy to take as a shot, but I like the option to tone down the stim. Keeping the stimulants in the red pill allow me to either toss it out (save it for later), or open it up and shake some out. I work out at night, go home and go to bed afterwards. Taking the entire red pill would keep me up, but taking half gives me adequate energy during my workout and still lets me sleep. The pump from this is insane IMO. I only take the whole pack if I'm lifting, and on my days off, ill just supp with 3.5G of mono, but when I take this and lift, it feels like my skin is going to rip (sometimes I actually get nervous lol). Anyways, solid pack. Another good product from Universal.
Good Pump
- Review by Dennis Z 1/11/2016
- Works great and good price. Super pump that lasts. Love it. I have tried Jak3D and others; while they all work good this is really good also.
I'm very satisfied with the result.
- Review by dwwhitehead 11/25/2015
- I have been using Animal Pump w/ Animal Stak for about 6 weeks, and I'm very satisfied with the result. My bench press has increased significantly(25-30 lbs,) and I have noticed more muscular endurance, as well. One thing I like about a pre-workout in pill form, is the ability to remove certain aspects of the package(ie: stimulants.) This is great for people who need to get some sleep at night. Other notes I would reccomend taking a small dosage of monohydrate creatine when using the PUMP during your work out.
This product feels like it gives you that like extra to complete your sets.
- Review by Good stuff mayn 10/27/2015
- This product feels like it gives you that like extra to complete your sets. Afterwards I'm left feeling bigger as it allows more blood to get to you muscles and gives you that "swole" feeling. It feels like a lot of pills to take on an empty stomach as it directs, but it's totally worth it as it doesn't make you feel gross or sick and helps to achieve your weightlifting goals.
great energy and a really solid pump
- Review by chaid 10/4/2015
- Favorite new pre workout love that it is in pill form and not a powder. Never upsets my stomach or gives me the caffeine jitters. Just does what it says great energy and a really solid pump as long as you are pushing yourself.
This stuff is nice.
- Review by 757wakeboarder 8/20/2015
- I'm questioning that it has your "max daily value of creatine" in it because it appears to only have 3 grams and your typical creatine serving for a maintenance phase alone is 5 grams. Do your research on when to take creatine, the directions say to take it pre-workout however there is a lot of research that says it's better to take creatine post-workout and taking it with something that is high in carbs significantly increases your body's absorption of it. The pills are fine except for the three brown ones which are difficult to swallow but you get used to them after the first few times. They also taste and smell oddly of maple syrup.
one of the best pre-work out products
- Review by SwarthyIbro 7/25/2015
- one of the best pre-work out products and the capsules organization provide easy way of taking.
an honest review
- Review by yJames A. Plaisted 7/10/2015
- I like the effect. You get a feeling that makes the gym sound like a good idea rather than a chore. I have been to the gym almost every single day over the last 3 weeks that I have been taking "Pump" and i am thoroughly happy with the results. I work out harder, have more energy, and I already notice my lifts increasing. I would reccommend to anyone who has had positive results from creatine. I know some people dont feel any effects from creatine, so those people might not like the product as much, but it is definetly worth trying out. This stuff will give you some needed motivation if thats what your lacking!
Works Great
- Review by Waqas 1/6/2015
- Its good pre workout. Worouts are more intense and brutal.

Bruising day for Lackey, who laughs it off
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — The last thing you want to see in spring training is one of your star pitchers diving for grounders and getting stung on the leg with a line drive.
But John Lackey could laugh about it afterward.
In the third inning Jordan Shafer's bunt was fielded by Lackey in a diving play where he scooped the ball to first base with his glove. He nearly had a collision with Dustin Pedroia on the play but Pedroia backed off.
"I asked him (Pedroia) if he liked that one. He was pretty fired up," Lackey said.
"If I'd have gone in there and collided, I would have taken the worst of it," Pedroia said.
"Yes you would have," agreed Lackey.
Freddie Freeman then hit the liner off Lackey's thigh.
"I feel fine," Lackey said. "He got me in the thigh. There's some meat there."
On the play, catcher A.J. Pierzynski called for the trainer.
"A.J. was just being funny," Lackey said. "Nothing happened on that."
Lackey was also stung for five runs on 10 hits in 4 2/3 innings. He allowed home runs to Andrelton Simmons and a two-run shot to Dan Uggla. It wasn't his best outing and now over his last two games he's allowed 10 runs in 9 2/3 innings.
"I felt fine," insisted Lackey. "I definitely thought I threw the ball better this time compared to the last time. I definitely had a good bullpen session in between, felt like my slider was better. The last one I threw to Uggla wasn't a good one. But I got up to 80-something pitches."
Rather than throttle down as most pitchers do in their last outing, Lackey will continue to throttle up. It was part of the master plan by John Farrell and pitching coach Juan Nieves to start Lackey slowly and build him up right until his first start.
"I'll just keep going for real," Lackey said. "I have a night game next time so I'll get after it a little bit more. I'd like to go into the season not being on a pitch count. Just normal. It's spring training. I'm not concerned about the numbers just trying to build arm strength."
Lackey thinks he won't hit full throttle "for a few more weeks to be honest with you. I'll be good enough to compete."
Despite the rocky outing, Lackey was comfortable working with Pierzynski.
"It's been pretty easy," Lackey said. "I haven't shook him off once. We incorporate a new pitch each time. Calls a good game. He's a good hitter so that helps him game-calling."
• The Red Sox had three baserunning mishaps, two involving Daniel Nava on a caught-stealing and a pick-off. One came on the front end of what looked like a botched double-steal
"Nava gave two shuffles (with his feet)," explained Red sox manager John Farrell. "When a baserunner crosses over with the intention of taking off, that's what [Shane Victorino] was reading. As we talked about before with Daniel, we're trying to get him to be more aggressive on the bases and for him to test those limits a lot more."
• Farrell was again pleased with the work done by righthander Francisco Cordero, who allowed one hit in his one inning.
"Cordero has done an outstanding job using all his pitches. He's made the most of the opportunities," the manager said.
• Farrell refused to officially announce Jon Lester as the Opening Day starter, but he added "count the days, it's not a secret."
• Farrell indicated that he thought the team's game plan of easing pitchers into their spring training workload has worked famously. The starters all seem to be sharp and ready for the start of the season.
Farrell also said he'll lay out a game plan for the starters for the final few days of camp.
"I like the way our starters have come along early. The work plan has physically agreed with them," Farrell said.
• Farrell spoke about lefty reliever Craig Breslow going forward. He said Breslow threw to hitters on Friday and "yesterday was a really good day. He was strong, good command of his stuff, but we have to be realistic. Last year you had to take him out of the mix on a given day because he always wants the ball. He would have benefited more by a few more days of rest. We'll have to make that decision for him."
If Breslow doesn't start the season it could open up a spot for Brandon Workman, Cordero, lefty Tommy Layne (who has eight scoreless inning in spring training) or Rich Hill.
• Grady Sizemore has the day off, but he'll play three days in a row starting Sunday.
• David Ortiz was also given the day off. His contract extension seems to be drawing to a conclusion with a possible announcement soon. Jon Lester's contract talks are progressing but not as close as have been characterized the past couple of days according to a source close to the talks.
• Finally, there's talk about the Braves possibly moving out of here soon. Atlanta could consider the Fort Myers/Naples area as a new destination.

Can you get a ticket for excessive accleration?
Can you get a ticket for excessive accleration?
Yes, I believe the technical name is exhibition of acceleration. You can also get reckless driving if you are "racing" or doing something they deem reckless (spinning tires, etc).
It is a judgment call on the part of the officer, so not really something you can fight either.
The Model S should be your best chance ever of avoiding the kinds of tickets rochec is describing. Old School cars used to make a heck of a lot of noise when revving their engines to get a quick jump of the line as the light goes green.
The Model S is basically a road legal Stealthfighter
If the speed limit is 35 MPH and you just happen to get to that speed in about 2 seconds, is it really illegal? ;)
Cops hate nothing more than the stop light drag race. You sure will get a ticket if you're racing another car knowingly or unknowingly. The best time to do it is probably when you're the only car at the stop light.
The practical problem with doing this is people don't expect it and also don't hear you coming. The other day I accelerated fairly rapidly away from a light, and midway down the block someone turned left directly into my lane. I presume they looked, saw how far away I was, and assumed they had time.
And they would have if they had accelerated. What they did instead was look back, see me coming up on them, and slam on the brakes. Dumb dumb dumb.
Fortunately I was able to brake and switch lanes, but it was a lot closer than I would have liked.
Also be careful of jumping out of a light as soon as it turns green, a lot of folks like to run yellow lights and you may clip them when jumping out so quickly.
A few weeks ago I was on the pole position at a light leading to the on ramp of Interstate 70 East (Colorado). There was a State Patrol in the car right behind me. When the light turned green, I began a normal acceleration, and then after 10 feet I floored it getting up to 65 mph within ~5 seconds as I entered the Interstate. The State Patrol was way back 200-250 feet, but I kept my speed at 65 mph, which is the limit. The State Patrol quickly closed the gap on me, as I was thinking "rut roh", and then he pulled up along side me in the left-hand lane. He was checking out the car and just staring at me. I gently smiled and nodded my head, and he nodded back.
I was only going 2 miles down the Interstate before my exit and the State Patrol followed me off and onto the exit ramp. I then pulled into a strip mall shortly after the exit. The patrolman saw where I went and come into the parking lot and stopped right behind me. He got out and approached me as I was exiting Joules. He asked "what the hell was that?" I said, do you mean the acceleration? He said "yeah, that is the fastest, smoothest acceleration I have ever seen." I realized he was more curious about the car, than wanting to ticket me, so I relaxed and explained all about the Model S. He said, I wish we had these as patrol cars, as we could close-down the gap on speeders in no time flat.
So I casually asked him, was it okay for me to accelerate from light like that? He said as long as I didn't exceed the speed limit and I wasn't out of control, then it's okay in his mind. He did say, "but that's my interpretation, and you were in control, just getting off the line faster than I have ever seen." I laughed and said I would never drive Joules recklessly :) He left with a smile on his face. I went home, after my errand, and changed my underwear.
Depends on the state you live in, some states have an excessive acceleration law. other states may be able to prosecute you via reckless driving statutes.
Don't know about Texas so I couldn't tell you.
@BYT has an excellent point. I always do two things (1) make sure I am not stopped on loose gravel or sand, as that would damage the car behind me, and (2) watching cars approaching the intersection from both sides until I know they are stopping. Then hit the go pedal.
You should enjoy your car (in a safe manner) and that includes enjoying its performance. I don't see anything wrong with flooring it, while accelerating in a straight path to 65 mph. But then again I am not a cop. If a cop wants to be a jerk he can be a jerk about anything.
Don't race or Tokyo drift and you should be fine.
As a former motorcycle cop (i know, boooo), and a current MS owner (yeah), here is some advice on this subject. Speed limits are zoned based on traffic surveys that tell the department of transportation what the speed should be set at. The law is all about safe and unsafe speeds.
The speed limit # is not exactly what the officer will look for, it is really all about what is safe. Safe is determined by the conditions and can include the type of roadway, lighting, weather, pedestrians and even the type of vehicle. i.e. an 80's pickup truck, with 30 pallets stacked in the bed tied down with rope may only be safe to travel at 30mph in a 35mph zone and could be considered to be a good violation at 35-40mph. A MS in that same zone could be considered safe at 40-50 because of its ability to handle and brake safely. (except freeways and school zones, there the # is the limit)
But as said before its really going to be a judement call on the part of the officer. It all comes down to making sure you dont get into a heinous collision.
As far as accelerating up to the speed limit from a light. There are laws about exhibition of speed as well as unsafe starting. These again will come down to judging if you were unsafe and not so much about the mph. These types of violations are usually from the loud muscle types or little racer cars and tend to attract attention from loud exahust and loss of traction. Since your MS will be silent and your tires will not slip, most quick take offs will be of no concern.
Another thing to be aware of is cross traffic. Quick acceleration from a light is one of the leading ways to get t-boned from cross traffic that either caught the end of the yellow or ran a red. Know that if you catch a yellow light by the front of your vehicle passing the limit line before it phases to red you are good to proceed all the way through and thus have the right of way. If you are sitting at a red in your MS and rocket away on the green and get hit from the side it could end up being your fault. So, please do this, look left and right, then left again before you accelerate. Its like crossing the street on foot when you were a kid. It just might save you one day.
Here is what I do. I step on that accelerator and I love to rocket away whenever possible. But... I check my surroundings, I look for pedestrians, bicyclists, other cars that could be a hazard and I check for cross traffic before I go. Your vehicle limitations are going to be top rate in a MS and if you understand your own limitations you will drive in control. Accidents happen when you exceed your ability or your vehicle's limits. Be careful.
The great thing about the Model S is that you can sit after the light turns green for a second or two, to ensure it's safe to accelerate. In an ICE car one often tries to anticipate a green or stares at the light and hits it upon turning green without really focusing on cross traffic.
Great advise and insight by jvanhecke, and no booing please. To protect and serve!
"He said, I wish we had these as patrol cars, as we could close-down the gap on speeders in no time flat."
That's a thought.
Interesting thread. Be careful accellerating in dark. It was well before dawn, 5:30am, no moon, very light traffic, at stop sign, no one ahead, commercial three lane road, when light turned i accellerated quickly to speed limit of 50 (took all of about 3 seconds). Police car came out of dark behind me with lights flashing, pulled me over. Very nice female cop. Asked me what i was doing accellerating so quickly? Said I was trying out new car, with no traffic. She said that she pulled me over not for speeding but because she was so shocked at the sudden accelleration she thought that I was trying to get away from her police vehicle. Never even saw her. She smiled, asked a few questions about the vehicle, said be careful with new electric car and drove off.
Just keep traction traction control on. Wheel spin will get you lots of undesirable attention.
In most states the charge w/b "driving too fast for conditions" which gets the law around proving the "not exceeding the posted limit " prohibition. Much harder for police to prove(radar works against them)and hard for them to convince a judge unless you hit somethng or are in a school zone. Should never be a problem when entering a highway.
Yes cloverleaf is fun. That's when you'll appreciate performance plus.
I accelerated rather hard in front of a cop on a local street (and I knew he was behind me). He followed me on the freeway until the last city exit. Of course I never exceeded the speed limit but he was watching me closely.
I also tend to hang back a second or two to make sure it's safe before hand.
I tend to get to the limit but not over rather quickly. Being quiet, and with traction control, I don't attract much attention.
I'll say though, getting to, but not over the limit requires split second timing. The difference between legal 40 and illegal 45 is a split second or so.
quick side bar: thanks for being a cop. Like being a teacher, its under valued, but so important.
Your welcome. I appreciate that.
jvan... +5 more.
Thanks for your service, a really tough job.
Cheers, Gary
It's called careless driving.
My wife decided to test out the MS to see how fast it goes from a standstill. It seemed out of character for her and I wasn't there at the time. I was waiting for her to come home and checked the app, and it showed her stopped in a location where it wouldn't have made sense to be stopped, and apparently off to the side of the road. I was hoping it wasn't a flat tire or accident. It turned out to be the very subjective "driving too fast for conditions." The cop also claimed that the speed limit was lower than it was, but that's another story.
As far as driving too fast for conditions, I was recently in my neighborhood on a local street. There was a young woman who was parked on the street and was doing something with her door open and she was outside facing the car. I made sure to leave a wide distance between us and slowed down to about 10 mph. She turned around for unrelated reasons and practically jumped into the air. It's one thing to have no engine sound. But if you are slow enough, there's no road noise either. A "normal" speed would have been too fast for road conditions.
I don't know what the proper etiquette should have been in that situation. Honking would have been obnoxious, keeping my speed would have left the road noise but would have been dangerous, and sneaking up on her like a pouncing leopard (didn't want to say jaguar) was startling.
You could roll down a window and turn the music up to get her attention.
I should have thought of that. Then she could stare at the old guy who plays unhip music. I have no idea what I was listening to at that time, but my tastes tend to be esoteric. It's one thing if I had been playing a classical concerto at the time, but it would have been entirely different if it had been Frank Zappa screaming "you're an asshole!"
I would love for people to respond with their opinions. I was at a light and after careful inspection I floored my P85D from 0-30ish. I was in an area with single lanes and stores and enough cars ahead that I wasn't able to go to far before coming to another car that had previously turned ahead of me. I noticed police car lights approaching from behind so I pulled over.
The Police officer stated " He could take my license that moment and I was destroying state property by accelerating that fast." I was told I wasn't getting a ticket and that " I should NEVER accelerate from a stop again!" Once I knew I wasn't getting a ticket I gently asked this, in my opinion confused officer, what he was thinking. He told me that "he heard me destroying the pavement and I was destroying the paint on the road".
Let me be clear. I was making absolutely no noise and he heard nothing for sure, the roads were dry and the car didn't spin out at all. I wasn't on painted lines and was well before any crosswalk. His argument about noise and destruction of property was absurd in my mind. He also in my opinion was incorrect about being able to take away my license. I wanted to call another officer over or the police Dept. to inform them about Tesla cars and how they accelerate vs other cars needing to spin tires etc.
What are your thoughts?
My thoughts are they have a pen and ticket book, and can give you a ticket if they want to.
They also have a gun.
"destroy state property.........."? that's a new one. I can see that happening if the road was dirt or made of cobble stones that get kicked up, but not pavement.
Did he say why he wasn't giving you a ticket? Sure seems odd to go from being so irate to say that he could take your license away to letting you off the hook completely.
cops love to make up shit. they are just like regular folks.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Just not their own facts.
Roadster22: "...I wanted to call another officer over or the police Dept. to inform them about Tesla cars..."
Cops don't want to be informed by you.
They want a 'yes sir' and an 'I'm sorry, sir".
Anything else is 'sass' and petty tyrants really don't like sass.
It's all BS. Say "Yes sir" and "Sorry officer" and move along.
They have a very difficult job. They don't know if they will return home that night. Be courteous and thankful. They don't know who you are or if the car is stolen or full of drugs or whatever.
I believe it's "exhibition of speeding"
you better be careful my tesla know-it-all! I don't want to have to pay extra in my taxes to repaint the sh!t you erased!
if you didn't laugh for 10 minutes after he left......
If you wanted to be a smart ass, you could have asked the cop if trucks are permitted on that road. If yes, then ask him if he's aware that road wear increases exponentially with vehicle weight.
He let you go because you are not a "bad guy". Be happy.
As Run4Waffles said, Police Officers have a difficult job of discerning between good and bad people. It takes a toll on them over time.
also if you get ""exhibition of speeding"" ticket on a motorcycle, it means you were busted doing a wheelie... how do I know this?
no comment
SilverP85plus, no wheelies in your Tesla!
I got a ticket recently and got a huge break at the same time in duchess county, ny. I got pulled over doing 79 in a 55 but I was actually moving with traffic even though I was leading it. the officer did not give me a ticket for doing 79, instead he gave me a ticket for not having my plate installed in the front of the vehicle. he asked why I didn't have it installed and told him my neighbor and father in law (retired police officer) said don't drill the nose, no one will ticket you for that.
we talked for a bit about life after he handed me the ticket. he was really a nice guy but I think his supervisor was around and had to ticket me. I have a pba card and sheriffs sticker in my window.
so remove the wheelie bar?
son of a....
@silver: I got pulled over for ONLY having no front plate. He was very cool about it when I showed him the plate was in the frunk and I showed him how it attached immediately via magnets. I was in scrubs and headed to work. I showed him the trunk area and answered questions about the car. He seemed satisfied that this 46 year old female wasn't running pot to Wyoming. I received just a warning, but I have been careful to keep the plate on since, especially since I pass the State Patrol HQ on the way to work....
He called my plate in and since I had no previous speeding history (I have been lucky) he just felt the need to lecture me. I received just the warning and no paperwork or ticket at all. I too have no front plate but he never saw that.
I rarely speed but I do get enjoyment of the fast acceleration so I will just have to be more careful of my surroundings when I do what Tesla cars allow us to do!
When we all go fully autonomous, this will no longer be an issue. Ludicrous launches will be a thing of the past. :)
I guess it depends on the state laws. I retied as a cop in NY back in 1990 and do not remember what the exact section of the law was but it was legal. I only wrote one ticket for that offense in 20 years

Appropriate nutrition is important for aquacultures. Unfortunately, it's extremely common for fish to become ill due to poor nutrition. These problems are not just associated with the quantity of food, but also the quality of it too.
Usually, the problems are associated with improper food choice, wrong quantity of feeding (either overfeeding or underfeeding), and introducing harmful organisms in live foods. There are guidelines for feeding aquarium fish, which often include the different types of foods that are recommended.
Dry foods
With the introduction of granules, pellets, flakes and wafers, feeding aquariums with good quality food has become easier. These popular dried feeds come in a wide variety that observes the different levels of feeding, bottom, mid-level or surface.
The most important thing is mastering the feeding level of your fish before supplying the right amount of foods in the respective layers. Fish species have distinguishing characteristics ideal for feeding within the given levels in the tank. For instance, the mouth of the hatchet fish is up-turned and can easily take food off the surface, whereas a catfish's mouth is downturned and they feed from the bottom of the aquarium.
Plant or animal-based food
Although most aquarium fish eat both animals and plants, some species only feed on either plants or animals. Feeding an animal-eating fish with plants could result in difficulties within the digestion system.
Unless you have a single species in the aquarium, it is necessary to provide different types of foods. Be sure to consider each and every species in the tank with respect to their nutritional needs.
Fresh/Frozen/Live Foods
Feeding aquarium fish with good quality food does not mean the constant provision of commercially dried foods. While the foods may help in preventing starvation, they do not guarantee the achievement of the full health benefit.
That is why the incorporation of fresh, frozen or live foods is equally important. Fresh foods and insects cultivate full-blown health and breeding in many species.
The foods are also commercially produced and do not necessarily translate to the collection of own harvested food sources. This is not to say you cannot introduce your own collection.
However, you must adhere to certain safety measures. For example, if it is an insect, you should keep in water for several days or, better yet, rinse their intestinal tracts prior to putting them in the tank.
Whether you choose fresh, frozen or dried foods, plant or animal based, it is important to feed aquarium fish with a variety of other foods to ensure optimum health. Most importantly, strictly ensure that the foods do not hold undermining organism and substances, such as parasites and toxins.

Complaint Review: Freelotto.com

- Category: Internet Fraud
Freelotto.com Freelotto guaranteed that i won almost $3,000. It said no jokes, no scams. I gave info, but they tried to make me pay. Internet
The message said all I had to do is give them my information and they would send me a conformation email with my prize notification on it.I read the terms and prize agreement and everything seemed legitimate. I felt like maybe this time I had actually won!
Skeptically, I gave up my personal information. The message then took me to their website, but nothing was on it about my winnings. I went to my email to look for my prize message, but they did not even mention it. They did, however, try to get me to spend money to join their website.
I could understand if a message said "You are eligible to win" or "you could win" but this message said "You Won! You Won! You Won! $2, 988 (can't remember the exact dollar amount), all you have to do is give us your information to claim your winnings!" Then I spend an hour on their website, only to return to my email to see like six messages from them, none of which say that I won anything. And then there is a small message that says you have to play to win!
This is really wrong to do to people. How can you cheat me into thinking I won, just to get my personal information and then try to charge me for "playing" if I don't unsubscribe?? I was not aware that I had to pay anything and their name Freelotto is misleading as well! I would like to take action against this web site for false advertising and I want the money I was guaranteed that I had won!
If you are going to tell people that they won money, you need to give them their money! And if your company is called Free lotto, the lotteries need to be free!

Nagorno-Karabakh's army accused Azerbaijani forces on Friday morning of continuing to violate the ceasefire along the Armenian-Azerbaijani "line of contact" overnight, saying that at least one Armenian soldier was killed as a result.
In a statement, the Defense Army said the 32-year-old soldier, Hrach Muradian, died near the northern Karabakh village of Talish, one of the epicenters of heavy fighting that broke out a week ago.
It said another Armenian soldier, Gevorg Mghdesian, was fatally wounded at a nearby section of the frontline "in still unclear circumstances." "An investigation is being conducted to establish details of the incident," added the statement.
According to the Karabakh Armenian army, the Azerbaijani side breached the Russian-brokered truce with small arms and mortars.
Armenia's Defense Ministry said, for its part, that on the night from Thursday to Friday the Azerbaijani army fired rocket-propelled grenades and mortar shells at three Armenian villages close to the Azerbaijani border. "Fortunately, there were no casualties," read a ministry statement.
The Azerbaijani military said the Armenians violated the cease-fire 110 times in the last 24 hours.

Ozzy Osbourne is a grandpa six times over. The metal legend's son Jack Osbourne's wife Lisa gave birth to the couple's second child, a baby girl, over the weekend.
The iconic celeb-reality program was scheduled for a reboot on VH1, but according to the network, the decision has been made to scrap the project.
Will we be seeing a waltz to Black Sabbath's 'God Is Dead?' on ABC's 'Dancing With the Stars' this season? That could be the case, as Ozzy Osbourne's son Jack has signed on to be one of the celebrity competitors on the show.

I strongly recommend this book for suspense seekers, you will definitely be entertained. Revealed through the eyes and voice of Ethan, who deals with the strange and gruesome occurrences that he, and six other companions, experience in Aokigahara Jukai – the Sea of Trees, or better known in Japan as the place to go, to commit suicide.
Suicide Forest -It's an intriguing title and it only gets better-Jeremy Bates wrote a vivid novel, and pulls the reader into the world under the trees, a woven canopy of twisted boughs and an imaginative macabre forest.
The protagonist's back story unfolds nicely with bits and pieces of his experiences as an English teacher in Japan. The tension picks up quick, and the companions roll from one ordeal to another, in a well-paced sequence of events, responding to each tribulation in creative ways. They all react with their own voice and tone, bringing an added dimension to the storyline. Throughout the book there is a true sense of place, and of cultural backgrounds with the descriptions of the music, food and drinking customs, and boundaries in relationships-all defining our humanity. The differences between the characters, as well as their common threads, are exposed.
The cast of characters begins with Ethan and his girlfriend Melinda, both English teachers in a foreign country. Her friend John Scott, an American soldier, tags along. Also another teacher and Ethan's co-worker Neil, and Tomo a young Psychology major-they then meet up with two new acquaintances, Ben and Nina, who are Israeli. All of them are from different backgrounds and cultures, and they each have their own personal struggles. A common theme they do share-thoughts about suicide, or at least about death, for various individual reasons. The seven companions hike into the woods following lifelines of ribbons, and set out to camp for a night. Not everyone comes out.
They deal with the situations that arise, until you are led to think there is no place to turn-or hope left. But Ethan finds a way. I don't want to give anything away but an unexpected turn leads the reader into a shocking end…
I never saw it coming. I believe, humans are the worst monsters. You have to read the book to understand… As a reader, I finished the story satisfied, with lingering thoughts about the situation the book presented. I am always happy reading a story that makes me think and learn new things, and Jeremy Bates did an excellent job of sharing his added flavor to the story, with his own experiences in travel, and obvious research. I strongly recommend this book for suspense seekers, you will definitely be entertained.
