SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Pablo Sandoval became just the fourth player to hit three home runs in a World Series game, connecting twice against Justin Verlander and once off Al Alburquerque to lead the San Francisco Giants over the Detroit Tigers 8-3 in Wednesday night's opener.
Sandoval hit a solo home run to right-center in the first, a two-run, opposite-field drive to left in the third and another bases-empty shot into the center-field batter's eye in the fifth. He joined Babe Ruth (1926 and 1928), Reggie Jackson (1977) and Albert Pujols (2011) as the only players with three-homer games in the Series.
Barry Zito, who like Sandoval watched the 2010 Series opener from the dugout, won by allowing one run and six hits in 5 2-3 innings.

The Auburn Tigers held their first scrimmage of the 2013 preseason Wednesday afternoon, working 107 plays during the practice session. Thunderstorms moved the practice from Jordan-Hare Stadium to the indoor practice facility at the Auburn Athletics Complex.
"We went 107 plays with three groups rotating in and out," Coach Gus Malzahn said about the scrimmage. "Our four quarterbacks played equal reps, and they were live – tackle football. We wanted to give them the opportunity to make plays.
"This was an evaluation scrimmage; our goal was to get more information to help us moving forward. When you are evaluating guys, you have to narrow things down. There are things we need to correct, but the offense and the defense both made plays.
"We had planned on going at the stadium, but the storm came up and there was water on the field, so we moved indoors."
Thursday will be the first two-a-day practice for the Tigers during the 2013 preseason. Auburn's season opener is Saturday, August 31, at Jordan-Hare Stadium versus Washington State in a 6 p.m. Central kickoff.

We read a lot about people trying to simplify their lives.
The words startled me as soon as I saw them:
I'm a newspaper guy -- been at it for 41 years now -- so I usually come down on the side of the media when there's some kind of dust-up with a politician.
I understand NBC is planning a mini-series about Hillary Clinton.
A few years ago we talked about a trend I had noticed which was almost startling -- baby boomers riding the country's highways on tricycles.
Once the United Kingdom had a new royal heir, Brits were all atwitter to see what Prince William and Princess Kate were going to name the little fellow -- little being a relative term, as he weighed about 8 and 1/2 pounds.
• Good rule of thumb:
A couple weeks ago I was watching an old western movie on television when a young actor caught my eye.
A hundred and 50 years ago next Tuesday, chaos descended on the small market town of Gettysburg, Pa.
How to impress a woman: Wine her, dine her, call her, hug her, hold her, surprise her, compliment her, smile at her, laugh with her, cry with her, shop with her, give her jewelry, buy her flowers, hold her hand, write love letters to her, go to the end of the earth and back again for her.
Were talking coffee and burgers today, folks.
Officials of the United States Golf Association made a good decision in sending this week's U. S. Open, the most prestigious of its tournaments, to the fabled Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa., a mere chip shot away from Philadelphia's prestigious Main Line. In an era in which players are much more muscular and powerful, and equipment is advanced, some would say Merion, at 6,996 yards, isn't long enough to host a major championship such as the Open. Nowadays, courses stretch out to 7,600 yards and longer as players routinely average 300 yards or more ...
Last week we talked about the new wave of obituaries which are not only informative but often lively and even funny.
Obituaries are a lot more interesting now than they used to be, though perhaps a bit less truthful.
Last year about this time, I talked with you about how technology is bringing the magic of nature -- specifically, the majesty of American's symbol, the bald eagle – into our living rooms.

CARSON, Calif. – Robbie Keane and Juninho broke Chivas USA's backs and dealt a blow to their playoff chances while helping the LA Galaxy to a 4-0 rout before 17,601 at The Home Depot Center.
The Galaxy claimed the SuperClasico series victory over the Rojiblancos for the seventh time in eight seasons, winning two of this year's three matchups and outscoring Chivas 7-2 in the process.
HIGHLIGHTS: CHV vs LA
Juninho's pair and one each from Keane and Omar Gonzalez, plus a career-high four assists from Landon Donovan pushed the Galaxy ten points ahead of Chivas. The Goats do have four games in hand, but on the night LA left no doubt over who the better team were.
OPTA CHALKBOARD: Donovan runs wild as Galaxy destroy Chivas
The Galaxy broke through in the 27th minute with the help of a poor giveaway from Ben Zemanski. Keane wound up with it, slipping a pass to Donovan on the right side of the penalty area then diving to the near post for the return ball and a 1-0 lead.
It was a lead a long time coming as Chivas goalkeeper Dan Kennedy made a string of fantastic early saves to keep the visitors off the board. But the floodgates eventually opened despite Kennedy's heroics.
Chivas came out gunning for an early goal in the second half – nearly getting it when Nick LaBrocca had his shot cleared off the line by Todd Dunivant. Juan Agudelo got to the rebound and fired another rocket but AJ De La Garza stepped in front and turned him away.
That seemed to spur the Galaxy on, and they stretched the lead to 2-0 in the 64th through Juninho. Donovan raced down the field on a quick counterattack and fed the Brazilian, who calmly curled a shot over Kennedy's head and into the upper 90 to give LA an insurmountable 2-0 edge.
Just to be sure Chivas would have no comeback, Juninho scored his second goal of the match minutes later. After a quick build-up he snuck back post to one-time Donovan's cross past Kennedy.
Gonzalez finished off the night's fireworks by heading home a Donovan corner kick with seven minutes left. It was the 2011 Defender of the Year's first goal since his return from a winter ACL tear.
The Galaxy (11-11-3, 36 points) face a short turnaround with a trip to Columbus on Wednesday. Chivas USA (7-9-5, 26 points) travel to Colorado to face the Rapids on Saturday.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (seminoles.com) – The Florida State women's basketball team faces a critical road game in league play as it travels to Clemson for a Sunday afternoon tip-off at 2 p.m. at Littlejohn Coliseum. The game will air on Comcast Sports Southeast (CSS) with Don Munson (play-by-play) and Robin Muller (color) on the call.
Sunday's contest between the Seminoles (17-9, 5-8) and Tigers (12-16, 4-10) can also be heard on 1270-AM with the voices of Jonathan Schillace and Melissa Bruner calling the action.
Florida State and Clemson play in their 46th matchup. The Seminoles have won 20 of their last 21 meetings with the Tigers since the 2002-03 season. FSU is 10-11 on the road all-time against Clemson, but has won 10 straight vs. the Tigers in Littlejohn Coliseum. FSU's last visit to Clemson was two years ago to the game day, winning 74-52 on Feb. 23, 2012.
The all-time series between the two teams has come in severe swings. Clemson won 23 of the first 24 meetings from 1980 to 2002 until FSU rattled off wins in 20 of the last 21 meetings.
The `Noles are on a quest to get to 20 overall wins prior to the ACC Tournament and it starts on Sunday at Clemson. Under head coach Sue Semrau, FSU has posted seven 20-win campaigns and has earned a nod to the NCAA Tournament in each of those seven seasons.
FSU is 7-5 this season in road games, having lost four of its last five away from Tallahassee. Senior Natasha Howard is averaging a double-double on the road this year with 20 points per game and 10 rebounds per game. Howard is averaging 12 points and 9.6 rebounds in five career games versus Clemson.
On Thursday night at Maryland, Howard's 35-point performance put her at exactly 200 field goals made this season. Howard's total makes her the first player to nail 200 shots since Roneeka Hodges had 236 in the 2004-05 season. Howard is the seventh FSU player to reach the single-season milestone.
Florida State has played five teams from the state of South Carolina, including Clemson (21-24), Charleston Southern (1-0), College of Charleston (1-1), Furman (1-0) and South Carolina (2-16). Overall, FSU is 26-41 against teams from the Palmetto State.
FSU senior guard Cheetah Delgado has 178 assists this season, which is third on the school single-season list. She is 21 assists away from breaking the record of 198 held by Courtney Ward in the 2009-10 season.
Delgado's ACC-leading 6.8 assists stand out in two ways – It would be the most assists by an ACC player since Maryland's Kristi Toliver had 7.4 per game in 2007-08. It would be tied for the sixth-highest average in ACC history.
Redshirt sophomore Morgan Jones fell one 3-pointer shy on Thursday night of tying the single-game school record of seven held by Christy Derlak (7 vs. UT Chattanooga on 11/26/93) and Courtney Ward (7 vs. Vanderbilt on 11/21/10). Jones now has 50 3-pointers this season, making her one of just eight `Noles to reach 50 3's in a year.
The Tigers currently occupy the 12th spot in the 15-team ACC standings, earning four conference wins over Pitt, Miami, Georgia Tech and Boston College. Clemson is a defensive-minded ballclub that only averages 59.8 points per game but allows just 66.5 points. Its leading scorer is junior guard Nikki Dixon, who averages 13.7 points per game and shoots 44.4 percent from the floor.
The Tigers are a formidable blocking team, averaging 3.9 blocks per game but also getting blocked by the same average as well.

AURORA, Ore. — An Oregon State University bee expert said that it is wrong to blame colony collapse disorder on neonicotinoid insecticides.
Ramesh Sagili, an assistant professor in the Department of Horticulture at OSU, said that exposure to neonicotinoids and other pesticides is just one of many factors contributing to the recent decline in bee populations.
"We don't have much evidence at this time that neonicotinoids are causing these losses," he said.
Sagili characterized colony collapse disorder as "complex and multifactorial."
"They are like a perfect storm (of factors)," he said Oct. 17 during a pesticide workshop at the North Willamette Research and Extension Center.
Since 2007, bee colony loss on a national scale has been occurring at a rate of about 30 percent a year, twice what is considered normal.
Sagili identified a parasite, the varroa mite, as the No. 1 factor causing this disorder. First found in the U.S. in the mid-1980s, the mite sucks blood from adults and pupae and vectors a disease-causing virus.
Pacific Northwest honey bee losses before the varroa mite emerged were estimated at between 10 and 15 percent, he said. Since the 1990s, when the varroa mite came onto the scene, commercial colony losses have averaged about 25 percent.
Sagili said that in addition to losses caused directly by the mite, pesticides used to control it are contributing to colony collapse, in part by combining with pesticides bees are exposed to unintentionally to create a cocktail of toxicity.
Other leading factors contributing to colony collapse disorder include: migration, where beekeepers move hives long distances, in some cases forcing bees to adjust to extreme temperature changes; mono-cropping, where bees pollinate a single crop, restricting their diet; and malnutrition.
"We think malnutrition is also playing a role," Sagili said.
Neonicotinoids, first registered for use in the U.S. in 1992, are likely contributing to the disorder, he said, but are not the leading cause.
He said several other insecticides are likely contributing to the decline in the bee population.
Bees are exposed to neonicotinoids by a variety of methods, Sagili said, including feeding on pollen of plants treated with the systemic pesticide, and direct contact with foliar sprays.
Growers can help limit bee losses to pesticides by choosing insecticides with low toxicity to bees, avoiding spraying plants during bloom, and protecting water sources from pesticide contamination, Sagili said.

North Dakota University System
Phone: 701.224.2437
BISMARCK, N.D. - The North Dakota University System announces the release of Why Apply, a locally produced video series aimed at North Dakota's youth and families who may think college is beyond their reach. The videos will be shown at 7 p.m., Dec. 7, 2011, at the Bismarck State College National Energy Center of Excellence, Basin Electric Room.
The 10-part video series features North Dakota students and provides information about how to choose, prepare, apply and pay for college. Each video targets a specific college enrollment topic and offers resources for further assistance.
The project is a collaborative effort between the North Dakota University System, the Bank of North Dakota and the North Dakota Indian Affairs Commission. Produced by KAT Communications, the videos are currently being shown in 11 GoodHealthTV network locations throughout the state. In addition, they will soon be available on touchscreens in 15 schools across North Dakota.
"The State Board of Higher Education is committed to helping students enroll and succeed in college," said Bill Goetz, NDUS Chancellor. "This outreach initiative is an important part of providing access to higher education to North Dakota's residents."
"It is Bank of North Dakota's hope that the Why Apply initiative will help more high school students realize that higher education is an attainable goal," said Eric Hardmeyer, BND president. "We want young people to understand that they have options and can choose the path toward a more financially stable future for themselves and their families."
Scott Davis, Executive Director of the North Dakota Indian Affairs Commission, adds, "The greatest journey one can make is in discovering one's self .college is the journey of opportunity."
Production of the video series was funded by the North Dakota College Access Challenge Grant provided by the U.S. Department of Education.
The event will include recognition of the students who participated in the videos with brief remarks by Goetz, Hardmeyer, and Davis. It is free and open to the public.

PORTSMOUTH, VA --The Coast Guard has rescued 14 members of the crew forced to abandon the tall ship HMS Bounty caught in Hurricane Sandy off the North Carolina Outer Banks.
The Coast Guard is searching for two other crew members. It corrected the total number of crew to 16 from 17.
Coast Guard Petty Officer 1st Class Brandyn Hill says 14 people were rescued by two Coast Guard helicopters about 6:30 a.m. Monday.
The survivors were being taken to Air Station Elizabeth City on the North Carolina coast.
The director of the HMS Bounty Organization, Tracie Simonin, said that the tall ship left Connecticut last week for St. Petersburg, Fla. She said the crew had been in constant contact with the National Hurricane Center and tried to go around the storm.

I woner if the A-Winger's chest is altered? That's cool if they did update her upper body to represent a female figure... Quite cool, though I don't recall a female A-Winger. There was a Female B-Winger standing around though.
I like these, I guess these two sets are almost like next years TFU multi-packs.I seem to recall a while back that in a Q&A, Hasbro hinted that they were working on a way to get some more Rebel Pilots out - I guess this is what they were working on.The inclusion of the Clone Pilots is also interesting, if these come out during a similarly "dead" period that TFU packs came out, I may pick up an extra opener of each set so that I can give the Biggs & Hobbie proper TIE Pilot helmets....
These will be $30 at least. TRU lost its sanity on exclusive pricing years ago. (I'm still not sure what happened to all those Commander Ponds?)
Love, 'em, love 'em, love 'em. I hope there's some distinguishing deco's between the two TIE pilots. I thought that the Y-wing pilot's outfit was the same as the A-wing pilot's though?

Now entering its third year of operation, Sacred Heart Hospital on the Gulf is currently ranked number four in the country and number one in Florida in patient satisfaction, according to Becker�s Hospital Review.
Now entering its third year of operation, Sacred Heart Hospital on the Gulf is currently ranked number four in the country and number one in Florida in patient satisfaction, according to Becker�s Hospital Review.
Not bad for the first hospital built in Florida in the last 20 years.
�Our number one success has been our growth in the medical community,� said hospital President Roger Hall. �It�s been a real journey for us.�
The ranking is collected from patients who rated their hospitals a nine or ten on a zero-to-10 scale in the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems survey.
Physician and Volunteer Services Advocate Paulina Pendarvis believes that the results come from not only the excellent patient service, but the hospital�s ability to grow and add services to meet the needs of the community.
Nurse Navigator and local resident, Shelly Cannon wasn�t surprised by the ranking. The three-year employee knows what makes Sacred Heart special.
�It�s our community,� said Cannon, �We get to help people we know.�
The staff prides itself on working amongst qualified and talented people, many of which are locals from Port St. Joe, Wewahitchka, Apalachicola and Eastpoint.
Just eight months after opening the 24-hour emergency center a satellite medical building was added to the campus.
The installation offers primary care, women�s services, imaging, rehabilitation, and dialysis treatments.
With each passing month new services have been added, including surgical and lab diagnostics. Specialty doctors have been continuously added to the staff, including orthopedic surgeon, Alfred Cardet and family practitioner, Kirk Garcia-Rios.
Garcia-Rios, a native of Valparaiso praised his experience with the Sacred Heart family.
�It�s a beautiful facility and area. They did it right by putting the hospital here,� he said.
Hall added, �We�ve made a tremendous push on getting high quality physicians. These doctors could practice anywhere, but they�re in Port St. Joe and we�re delighted to have them.�
The 17-bed hospital has also boosted jobs locally, adding 10 new positions since opening to bring the workforce to 94. Sacred Heart has over 80 volunteers who�ve collectively donated over 50,000 hours of their time at the hospital.
�They�re a phenomenal group,� said Pendarvis, �They really make my job easier.�
As Hall looks to the future he�s excited about growth opportunities and additional services the hospital can offer patients.
Over the next three months he plans to be adding rehabilitation services in Franklin County, weekend urgent care in Wewahitchka and mobile MRI services for all of Gulf County.
Join the Sacred Heart to celebrate its third anniversary on March 15.
A public open house will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET. Events include health screenings, a blood drive, bone density heel scan screening, a Heritage Room display, and of course, birthday cake.

Lack of Support Cancels Venerable U.K. Show
November 3, 2011 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Lack of Support Cancels Venerable U.K. Show
The 50-plus year-old Boat and Caravan Show, slated for Feb. 21-26 at the NEC in Birmingham, England, has been canceled by organizers who cited a lack of support from caravan manufacturers and dealers.
Out & About reported that host Ocean Media has also been forced to cancel the Outdoor Leisure Show, which made its debut earlier this year alongside the established Boat and Caravan brand.
The sudden move follows a year in which the National Caravan Council launched its own events, beginning with last month's Motorhome and Caravan Show in Birmingham.
Following a failure to secure the Boat and Caravan tenancy at the NEC next year, NCC Events then scheduled a new February show in London for 2012 – an event which ultimately contributed to the end of Boat and Caravan.
In a statement, Ocean Media explained the decision to cancel the show "has been taken because of a lack of support from the caravan manufacturers and their dealers, despite having strong support from all other parts of the show."
The exhibition organizers described having "consulted in particular [with] caravan dealers" to establish that a national show was needed to support the leisure sector." In the run up to next February, Ocean had received endorsement from the Camping and Caravanning Club and a number of caravan dealers.
The dealers eventually felt unable to participate in the show, which Ocean believes "undermined one of the main pillars of the show" and "rendered it no longer viable".
With a heritage stretching back over half a century, Boat and Caravan could safely lay claim to being the longest running caravan show in the U.K. Having attracted over 87,000 paying visitors to a successful show last February, the cancellation now leaves NCC Events' February show at London Excel as the only major caravan event for that month.
Ocean Media CEO Trevor Barratt expressed regret at the loss of the show, stating, "Loyal exhibitors, including a number of caravan dealers and the shows many visitors will feel sorry that due to a lack of support from one element of the industry, the 2012 show has canceled after more than 50 years."

Basketball Brackets: Is There a Secret to the Madness?
If there is one thing I've learned from my years of filling out March Madness brackets, it is that there is very little correlation between "knowing" basketball and making accurate NCAA tournament predictions.
Growing up, I always seemed to have one teacher per year who passed out photocopied brackets for a class competition. The prize was usually something pretty trivial — like 10 bonus points on the next test or a free slice of pizza in the school cafeteria. In other words, we weren't gambling away the piggybanks containing our life savings.
As I got older, it seemed like there was more strategy involved in picking teams. I always overheard the class basketball buffs bickering with each other over their selections and defending their choices with terminology that, to me, sounded like a foreign language. I guess my one season of YMCA rec basketball wasn't enough to educate me on the nuances of the game.
But despite their wealth of knowledge and insight, these sports nuts rarely came out on top. The overall winner almost always ended up being some clueless band nerd who wouldn't know a basketball from a hockey puck.
Why? Because post-season play hardly ever goes the way it should. Even if a team is clearly superior on paper, there are no guarantees when nerves, emotion and pressure come into the mix. The NCAA tournament is notorious for upsets, which are nearly impossible to predict.
So when you're filling out your bracket, you might as well flip a coin. Or pick your teams based on the appeal of their uniforms, like the girl who won the class bracket competition my sophomore year of high school. I even had a decent run a couple of seasons back when I made my selections based on which mascot would win in an actual fight. (For example, if a grizzly bear faced off against a badger in the wild, the badger wouldn't have a chance. Therefore, I would pick UM over Wisconsin.)
Whatever your strategy is, remember that it's just for fun — even if you lose, you can always buy your own piece of pizza in the school cafeteria.

Immunodeficiency disorders happen when one or more components of your immune system are missing or when the system is not working as supposed to be. Defects in one's immune system can be congenital or acquired. Either way, having problems with the immune system permits harmful microorganisms to easily penetrate the body's defenses and make anyone suffer various diseases.
Congenital Or Primary Type
If you are born with deficiencies in your immune system, you are said to be suffering from primary immunodeficiency. If you have the primary type of this disease, you may not be able to enjoy life like other people do. Your predisposition to contract all sorts of contagious diseases may start in your childhood days or it may not make its presence known until later in life. The following are two of the most common examples of inborn immunodeficiency disorder.
IgA Deficiency
IgA refers to your Immunoglobulin A which is basically a group of antibodies that are mainly found in your respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. These antibodies are largely in the form of fluids secreted in the areas mentioned and are often described as your body's first line of defense against harmful invaders. You can also find these antibodies in your saliva and the tears in your eyes.
For people who have IgA deficiency, the body is not producing adequate amounts of this particular class of antibodies. Meaning, all harmful microorganisms may be allowed to enter your body with less or no opposition at all. Having this disorder will make you prone to most allergies, cold viruses, and other infections in the respiratory tract.
Severe Combined Immunodeficiency
Also known as SCID, this immune system disorder is defined by a severe defect in the body's production of T-cells. Your T-cells, basically, may be thought of as the Marines of your whole defense system; T-cells do not just provide a defensive wall but they are the elite fighting units that actually attack unwanted intruders in your body. Now, you can just imagine what will happen if your body has only a few of these soldiers; it will be totally impossible for your body to keep off infections.
A classic case of SCID has been experienced by a young boy in Texas who tried to live inside a sterilized plastic bubble to prevent microorganisms from getting inside his body. This boy even became a stuff of medical legend and has been known as the Bubble Boy, which later on paved the way for this disease to be referred to as the bubble boy disease.
Acquired Or Secondary Type
Most are born without any defects in their immune system. However, factors like malnutrition, severe infections or nasty side-effects from some medication may cause disorders in some people that can weaken the body's immune system. This type of immunodeficiency may include the following.
Everybody has heard about the Human Immunodeficiency Virus or HIV and the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome or AIDS. Slowly but surely, this disease leads to the total breakdown of the immune system. The problem is caused by a virus which can annihilate the number of T-cells, particularly the helper cells, in the body. Without the T-helper cells, your body will not be able to defend itself from all sorts of infection and other harmful organisms. You can contract HIV from careless or unprotected sexual intercourse and from using hypodermic or tattoo needles that are contaminated with the virus.
Immune Disorders Caused By Medication
Sometimes, secondary immune system disorders may be brought about by some medical treatments. Take the case of chemotherapy in patients with cancer; this process is known to wipe out not just cancerous cells, but healthy immune cells as well. Also, people who have undergone organ transplants need to take medicines that are designed to suppress the body's resistance against the new organ; which can only mean withholding immune cells from performing their functions.
Indeed, the health of your immune system is very important for your own survival. So never take it for granted. To boost your body's disease-fighting capabilities, you can take supplements like Immunitril. Visit http://www.immunitril.com/ for more details.

Families find ways to survive and hold onto their land.

s17 e04 -- http://openload.co/f/GxXDMIPICso
Goddam i hate Karen Page. as Soon as i saw this season would have Bullseye i hoped she would die like in the comics but NOOOOO had to kill awesome Father from the church love this show but everytime i see or hear Karen Page she is whining and being an annoying bitchy hypocrite damn why arent you dead.
Some of this show can be accepted in part of the message, but laws are laws and breaking them you are a criminal. This is yet another show forcing the message of pride in a nation and hate of illegals is wrong, in part hate because of nationality is wrong. But coming here breaking the laws of the land is wrong too, this has become slandered in tv and movies i guess now.
what was this a history lesson bringing up old wounds to relive past issue and trying to superimpose them on to what is going on today. Rossa parks is a great historical figure and king as well and if alive today would be shaming all those so called rights people who everyday blame another for their own faults. This show is going to far down the fact it is a sci fi show and the bit about aliens seems to get lost in this one. Was one of the all time worst episodes yet, very bad writing like shoehorning the politics and world issues into my escape from reality. Sorry but i watch sci fi and fantasy because they are a way to distance my self from life not to have it force fed to me.
I disagree with everything you've said except the part when you say it's mediocre. You seem to have a problem with retcons that occur in film and TV. That's a problem you and other opinionated shitheads have that I don't. As for it being mediocre, that's debatable.
And no one give a shit about what you think .IF YOU DON'T GET THAT EVERYONE CAN HAVE AN OPINION STOP ARGUING. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE SHOW THEN YOU DON'T LIKE LIKE BUT DON'T TRY TO CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT THEY SHOULD NOT LOVE IT. YOU DON'T LIKE THE SHOW SAY IT AND THAT'S IT DON'T JUDGE OTHERS BECAUSE THEY LOVES THE SHOW EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION ABOUT EVERYTHING AND WE ALSO HAVE DIFFRENT TASTE DON'T DON'T GET TO CHOOSE FOR OTHERS MEN SO SHUT THE HELL UP AND KEEP YOUR OPINION ABOUT US (PEOPLE WHO LIKE THIS SHOW) TO YOURSELF THAT IS SIMPLE . EVERONE IS DIFFERENT IF YOU DON'T GET THAT THEN GO BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!
@DarkFace You are right, to a point. The difference is, the good shows actually DO "give a shit" about source material. The ones that don't, often fail miserably. It's happened time and time and time again. Sorry, but the show is, again, at best, mediocre.
Hollywood doesn't give a shit about your source material; it hold little weight in being a measurement of how successful a show is. Remember that most people who're tuning aren't angry nerds overly concerned with accuracy to comic book canon. What you consider canon might as well be a retcon. It's happened before and it'll happen again. Only this time it's on TV instead of paper. It's a decent enough show, IMO. That's what really matters; whether you like or not. Pretty simple.
@Kruciphix You have no clue what you are talking about. There is no Titans, Teen Titans IS the source material, period. It doesn't matter what you say when you cannot even get that very simple fact straight. And again, as I have said at least twice now, if you want to say you enjoy the show, that's perfectly fine, but the fact still remains that calling it Amazing is BS. Get over it.
Titans is the source material not teen titans and you say whatever you want but we can say that the show is amazing even if it doesn't respect the source material.. IT IS AN OPINION if you can't accept that's too bad for you And one more thing MAYBE at the end of the season or in season 2 the character will look and act more like in the comics It's just the 2nd episde after all
@Kruciphix Of course there isn't a comic book show or movie that perfectly reflects the source material. I quite clearly said that a little change is fine. But this ISN'T a little change. This show is NOTHING like the Teen Titans, which IS the source material, period. You can like the show all you want, but as I said before, when it changes that much from the source material calling it amazing is just being dishonest. There is no defending that much of a change if you are a fan of the source material. You can say whatever you like, but calling it amazing is just BS.
And it's not because we don't respect the source material that we say it's amazing it's because we like the show, the action, the story, etc. Plus Starfire is a killer because she just don't remember who she is and she didn't remember that she had power... Btw Teen titans and titans not quit the same thing
Matoyoshi Their is no comics books show that respected perfectly the ''source material''
He is daredevil becuase he is the man without fear not because he wears a devil costume
@Hellfist costumes do not make the hero
What the fuck, should called this season blind man in black he never even once put the fucking suit on. What is the deal with not wearing the fucking costumes, i mean it is a comic book character and the costume is part of that whole thing. Like shooting a show about space but no one ever goes there they just stay on the planet.
Trust me @Matoyoshi im with you tbh havent even watched this due to how shit it looks but for all we know codexhound hasnt read any comics so who knows lol
@stevenlhargrove I agree that they could be amazing, but in this case they aren't. To be honest, I found the actress playing Starfire's acting to be atrocious. And it's one thing, like I said before, if they changed small things in the lore. That isn't the case here. They changed the very basis of the characters, that isn't a small thing. They made Raven into a scared little girl, they made Dick Grayson into an ungrateful prick that has become a bully. They made Starfire into a ruthless killer. None of that is even close to being accurate to the characters. The ONLY way a person could say the show is amazing is if they have never once read any of the comics or watched any of the cartoons or animated movies. It's one thing to say you enjoy the show. I wouldn't say a word about that, but to say the show is amazing when it doesn't resemble the Teen Titans at all, is just being dishonest.
@Matoyoshi while i disagree with @codexhound about it being the best DC show on right now (i think arrow tbh) @Kruciphix is right dude he can say the show is amazing. However i will say i agree with you in the context of teen titans lore not entirely on point but when it comes to A. the acting, B.The plot and C.the characters and settings those can be amazing even if the lore canonicity is not
@Kruciphix You can say whatever you want. That doesn't change the simple fact that by calling something amazing that has so many problems and resembles the source material in nothing more than name shows that you don't care about the source material at all. It would be fine if i was a few small changes, but it isn't. This is changing the very basis of the characters and it is far from amazing. Call it whatever you want, doesn't make it true.
Its been true for a couple of months now, all Liar links go to rellik shows. Can anyone put the real Liar episodes up? Thanks Radi
We have the right to call something amazing if we think it is.... And other tv show or movie has character who doesn't look or act at all like in the comics this happen a lot
May I get a refesh please? Going to check the bottom, but I would like all episodes and last links was really like 2 months ago and most are dead now. Thank you!
@Kruciphix I agree that everyone has a different opinion, but to call a show amazing when it has so many problems and doesn't resemble the source material in anything but name is not a good opinion to have. All that shows is that you don't care about the source material.
Matoyoshi everyone has a different opinion about everything for exemple I like this show as well but less then the arrowverse show tho
codex You must have really low standards then. The show has a Robin that says things about Batman that Dick Grayson would never say in his entire life. They have a Starfire that doesn't look or act like any Starfire in the history of DC. Raven acts more like a scare little girl than any Raven ever shown in any comic or cartoon or animated movie. The show is mediocre at best.
amazing show so far. Far better than the other DC shows on now. Raven was always my favorite character

rabbitsocks the teen titans didnt feature cyborg until the 1980s aka 16 years after the original run of the comics just because the teen titans cartoon had him doesn't mean he has to be in the teen titans. Also he will be in the Doom Patrol spinoff but prob even then not really much given contractual issues between the channel and warner bros aka the makers of the dc movies there was a huge stink about flash and deathstroke already not sure how much further tv wants to push dc. it should just be like marvel as much as i prefer dc to marvel they have there shit together much better
I think he will be in the show but later.. I'm not sure tho
no cyborg, this show is crap.

The importance of interoperability testing, registration
The Fieldbus Foundation is one of the only automation industry organizations with a registration program requiring mandatory testing of critical elements of its technology. Today, our testing and registration effort encompasses Foundation Fieldbus host systems and field devices, as well as physical layer components such as power supplies and device couplers.
One of the founding principles of the Fieldbus Foundation is the support of interoperability – the ability to operate multiple devices from multiple manufacturers, in the same system, without loss of functionality. The testing and registration process at the Foundation is the key to interoperability. With Foundation Fieldbus, interoperability is made possible by the fact that devices and software must conform to the same standard.
Host registration provides an extra measure of confidence that fieldbus systems incorporate the robust functionality of Foundation technology and are able to function as part of an open, interoperable control system. The host has been of particular concern in the past because it is the key element at the system level and can determine the success or failure of a fieldbus project. If your host is not registered and tested, you are taking some unnecessary chances and have no way of knowing if your host will work with a wide range of H1 and HSE devices from different suppliers.
Testing and registration requires good stewardship, especially when the specification continues to evolve like Foundation Fieldbus does. A good example of this is the addition of the NAMUR NE-107 recommendations for device diagnostics. Fieldbus Foundation and NAMUR, an international user association for automation technology in process industries, collaborated on enhancements to Foundation technology, which improved its usability. A key objective of this work was to unify the integration of fieldbus self-monitoring data and ensure the availability of valuable diagnostic information to process plant operators, engineers and technicians.
According to the NAMUR NE107 recommendation, Self-Monitoring and Diagnosis of Field Devices, fieldbus diagnostic results should be reliable and viewed in the context of a given application. The document recommends categorizing internal diagnostics into four standard status signals. (See diagram.) It also stipulates configuration should be free, as reactions to a fault in the device may be very different depending on the user's requirements. According to NE107, plant operators should only see status signals, with detailed information viewable by device specialists. This facilitates information in context, provided to the right people at the right time, in the right format.
Using the NE107 recommendations for field diagnostics, the Fieldbus Foundation developed a profile specification enhancing the organization, integration, and presentation of device diagnostics within fieldbus systems. The diagnostic profile includes a standard and open interface for reporting all device alarm conditions, and provides a means of categorizing alert conditions by severity. The technology facilitates routing of alerts to appropriate consoles based on user-selectable severity categories. In other words, it sends the right information to the right person at the right time without flooding the operator with alarms that are irrelevant to his duties. It also provides recommended corrective actions and detailed help, as well as an indication of the overall health of the device.
The Foundation continues to evolve our specification as new technologies come along and there are new opportunities to improve on the specification. Testing and registration will continue to evolve along with the specification to ensure that end users can achieve full functionality and interoperability that is the promise of Foundation technology.

Elm Street Tattoo's Friday the 13th Marathon Video
Last Friday, Oliver Peck held his annual and infamous Friday the 13th marathon tattoo special at his Elm Street Tattoo studio and The Dallas Morning News was there to cover it [video above]. It's an interesting look at the melee with classic quotes from Peck, including talk of the myth and lore behind "13" tattoos and why he's been doing this marathon for years: "I just love gimmicks. I love partying. I love tattooing, and I just put it all together. [Sailor Jerry Rum helped with the partying.]
Peck was also in the news for his recent opening of True Tattoo studio in LA (which he purchased in January). Gossip blogs particularly loved his shit talking against ex-wife Kat Von D, saying that his studio will "make real tattoos" as opposed to Kat's "gimmicky tourist tattoos" close by.
I thought he just loved gimmicks.

Wow, not much activity here. I'm looking for people to hit or do sets with. I don't know my rating, but used to be decent and still seem to be. I just want to get out, get fit and have fun. Heavy competition is not my forte, but if we do sets I won't mind winning (or losing...:). Anywhere in Santa Fe is fine with me. Tomorrow, Sunday, March 3, would be great, but I'm available pretty much anytime it's sunny and in the 50s or higher. Anybody out there? m

I'll play ya. Not March 3rd. But when it gets warm out & hopefully not too windy.
To learn the rating system go here: http://www.usta.com/Play-Tennis/USTA-League/Information/About_NTRP/
I'm 3.5 on the rating scale.
Friday's and weekends are the days I have available right now to play.
Great, thanks. Tomorrow's supposed to get to 59. You may be otherwise occupied, but that's plenty warm for me if we play in the afternoon, though the wind might kick up a bit. I'll be trying the Shellaberger tennis fiesta next Friday but could probably play next Sunday. Thanks for the rating system link, too. I'm probably a 4 once I get warmed up. I've only played once recently after a hiatus of decades.
I'd like to play some tennis with either of you as well. I'm a 3.5, and would enjoy hitting, or doing sets.
Hey Matt, Thanks for letting us know. I'd like to play. I registered for this Friday's Shellaberger's free, once-a-month Friday night tennis Fiesta so I'll probably be good till the latter part of next week. Can you play weekday afternoons?
Would tomorrow afternoon work for you, Friday the 15th?
Who are you asking?
Sorry, I hit the reply under Matt Fagan's message thinking it would associate with him and that message because his original message predated yours but since you replied first let me ask you. Would 2 pm at Herb Martinez Park work for you?
Yea, I can make it. I've played there plenty.
Great, I'll meet you there at 2.
[edit: please share private info via PM or Friend Request]
I'll be there
I can play pretty much any day of the week, as long as I have fair warning. If you need a partner feel free to email.

|Isn't this the second time in three years...
...where we've panicked, moved all the deck chairs around on the defense, recommitted to the 3-3-5, and turned in what was at the time the worst imaginable defensive performance? This debacle has shades of the 2008 Purdue game written all over it.
We've got to get a DC who is aligned with his staff.
|11/02/2010 - 4:08pm
|In re: the Offensive Criticisms
I think you might be missing the point of the offensive criticisms, Brian. Everyone likes the numbers; a top-20 offense is eminently respectable, especially given our youth. And the fact that most of the points are scored in the second half means that the offense is resilient and not packing it in like last year. Those are unqualified good things.
What I--and I think others--are concerned about is the fact that they can't score early and they can't sustain a scoring drive when it would be most helpful to do so: when the game is close. Sure, the defense isn't helping, but the marginal utility of yardage, points, and possession is lower when you're far behind: you can't expect to win shootouts if you only show up for half the battle. You've already been shot to death by then. I just wanted to reiterate that I love Denard and co as much as everyone else, but we shouldn't ignore 7 TOs and 27 first-half points over the last three games--even if the stats are happytime.
Now, the real problems are with the defense, so ya'll can go back to talking about that. If our defense were better it would make the offense more comfortable, too.
I think the best possible outcome right now is for us to win the next two and get a defensive staff where the co-ordinator knows the scheme and the assistants buy in. That could be Casteel (since we know that'll work), or Hypothetical New Guy (with new assistants). I'm fine either way so long as the outcome is a defensive staff where the DC isn't undermined constantly. We might also consider shifting an offensive coaching slot to defense or special teams duty.
|11/01/2010 - 2:37pm
Scapegoating Robinson is fairly low-brow considering everything else that is wrong with the defense, and in any case the fact remains that RR will have dishonorably discharged every outside coach he's brought in at that point. That is on him entirely.
I don't even think our offense is all that impressive. It's lightyears ahead of 2008, but come on, people: sans the Denard Magic and a frantic Forcier comeback, its an offense that has dug itself into a deep hole in the first half of every Big 10 game its been in and it was only able to dig itself out against Indiana. The rushing attack is inexplicable: Vincent Smith up the gut and a lot of single-wing power with Denard. We don't even run our vaunted screen series, nor do we mix it up much in the ZR game. Remember that whole series of runs with our mauling TEs as H-Backs? The wolverine heavy? A veer? Midline option? Where's the ZR-Bubble option? That's all been out the window, as far as I can tell. Heck, we don't even roll Denard out much. Denard is so awesome that we're sitting at #2 in yards but it's an ugly, ugly #2.
This is a desperate team, and I'm confused as heck about what the coaches are doing about it. I hope it gets better, since I love these young men and I loved the schemes on both sides of the ball when I understood what was happening.
|10/31/2010 - 11:24pm
|there were actually...
...several things *subtracted* from the offensive side of the ball over the last few weeks. Our running game is way simplified from last year and we don't even run our curl-flat / screen game series anymore. Ridiculous in the extreme.
|10/31/2010 - 10:54am
|No rational fan...
...expected a third consecutive year of "the worst defense in Michigan history" or "the worst defense in college football". Rational fans expected an offense that could score when it mattered instead of in hurry-up-lets-stage-a-comeback-mode. Rational fans expected a bad defense and a more consistent offense, and a 7-5 campaign, beating the teams we should beat and losing to the teams we shouldn't. We have haven't gotten any of these things yet.
That said, there are still games against Illinois (who is better than us) and Purdue (who has a better record than us) before we go up against real teams like Wisconsin and Ohio State. There's still a chance that we might make those strides, but the margin of error is nil, now. I, personally, no longer have any confidence in this coaching staff, which is a shame. I've been genuinely excited for the them and the team to date. Now I'm just hoping we survive another coaching changeover without become Notre Dame.
|10/12/2010 - 12:01pm
|Newsreel footage
Interesting to compare some of those designed halfback off-tackles (run by Ortman in the newsreel footage) to one of our base plays: the power-O dilithium assault: it looks almost the same :). Interesting amounts of pre-snap movement, too. Plus: bonus Statue of Liberty deployment!
Nice finds!
As a side note, it always bothers me when the announcers see our designed QB keepers and assume that Denard has "taken the game into his own hands" or that RR has "asked Denard to go win him the game". Good lord, its a basic play in our offensive package, people. It was called from the booth.
|04/27/2010 - 9:20am
|The problem is that...
...simply calling Apple's public phone number isn't the only reasonable thing to do--nor even particularly reasonable--in this case, as is required by CA code 485. If you find someone's possessions in the bar, the reasonable thing to do is to either A) give the item to the bar owner, or B) since it is a phone and you got the guy's name from it (as was clearly the case since Gizmodo publicly shamed the poor guy), try to contact the person directly.
Under no circumstances do you say "well, I called your huge company's front desk and they didn't believe me so I'm going to sell it for five grand". Gizmodo should never have purchased the device. If they had been shown it, taken pictures, poked around with it, fine. Then they are merely performing journalism. Paying money to acquire property is the problem here. I've no idea what they were thinking.
Journalism shield laws are to protect sources of information, not to provide cover from prosecution when you've publicly admitted to a crime. CA's shield law clearly refers to shielding journalists from *contempt* charges for refusing subpoena. If Gizmodo were covering, say, illegal arms shipments, there would be no question that they shouldn't actually acquire stolen military hardware, right?

|Looks like a very...
...instinctual and natural free safety. Highlights, obviously, but they highlight him diagnosing plays, playing center field well, and really powering through his tackles.
He plays they way I hope to see safeties play! Rangy, confident, and punishing. Nice find, RR+co.
|12/31/2009 - 9:18am
|This was my read as well, Magnus
To flog a dead horse further, out of position and/or slow to react interior LBs undermined the rush defense (giving up leverage, getting suckered in by Juice over and over again, accepting a block rather than trying to flow outside of it, etc), while the pass defense had chronic missed assignments or late reactions to a TE or slot WR breaking deep.
I liked the effort to simplify the defense and focus on fundamental play. That should pay off next year as the veterans will be coming in with some idea about what they're supposed to be doing, for the first time in a number of years. We need these older guys to mentally anchor the new guys for a little while.
|12/09/2009 - 12:37pm
...looks like he's about ready to kick some ass in that photo. Sounds like he and Carvin are great finds!
(Waves hand at LSU... this is not the safety you're looking for...)
|11/23/2009 - 11:02am
If he doesn't win games, then obvs. we must build him a shrine and sacrifice more oxen. You *did* sacrifice at least a goat this year, right?
Of course he won't remain the head coach for longer than 4-5 years if we're epic failing every year. The point isn't that RR can do no wrong and we all must believe, its that there isn't anything better to wish for other than continued improvement. There's no reason to believe that it won't happen: let's get to 85 scholarship athletes and string together a few consecutive years running the same offensive and defensive systems before we throw *everything* away.
There is no better alternative than this coaching staff right now. They have a track record of success at other places. Let's give them some god damn patience, people.
|11/23/2009 - 8:26am
|Sounds like you wrote that article yourself!
I like that the quotes are arranged artfully and interspersed with just enough commentary and analysis couched as reporting to make it seem like Rodriguez is a towering dick. Cripes, I wish people would stop falling for this stuff. I mean, "all but pulled out a picture of Lloyd Carr"? Really? Seriously?
Yes, it's too bad that our last few Februaries haven't panned out the way we'd like them to. They were full of top rated players, sadly, none of those kids who were top rated at LB and S have panned out, stayed with the program, or gotten into school in the first place. It sucks that we had to fill 30-35 spots on the roster the moment RichRod was announced, given that we're only allowed to sign 25. Discipline problems that surfaced late in Lloyd's tenure have continued, and that sucks too. These are structural problems, and you can either acknowledge them or go live in a fantasyland. I prefer to live in the real world.
Them's the breaks. Get over it. Les Miles isn't coming here. Harbaugh isn't coming here. If we fire RR now, we lose another recruiting class or two, and then whee, we're stuck in this &*#$ for another 2-4 years before we even start to get better again. I wish Rodriguez was the miracle-worker that we all wanted him to be, but it turns out he's not. He's still the best answer we have: continuity, continuity, continuity.
|11/23/2009 - 8:06am
|Prior to Michigan...
...he'd had success everywhere.
The point is that Rodriguez two years ago looks a lot like Kelly now.
|11/22/2009 - 7:24pm
Indeed. What would be more fitting for a Michigan defense than law firms and historical personages (Vlad the Impaler).
|11/16/2009 - 12:28pm
|Robinson is not the LB coach
Note that the positions GERG coaches (Brown, Roh) are not a problem. Brown is easily the best LB we have, and Roh's only problem is that he's too small yet to take on a double-team from serious opponents. I love the way both of those kids play. The defense is straight up uncompetitive at two spots, so if you want to blame a coach, blame the coaches of those positions.
I haven't seen anything that makes me think we're schematically or tactically bad. We have confidence issues, which is obvious considering how often these kids have been blown out. We also have epic fail issues at S and LB. No defense that lacks confidence and skills over the middle will stop anyone with any consistency. I don't get how the DC can do much about these problems in 11 months by himself. I think we need two new coaches, LB and S. Let's quit shuffling the overall plan and start shuffling the pieces that are broken.
At this point I'm amazed we get full half out of them before the cracks show up.
|11/12/2009 - 1:02am
|No Kidding
I'd rather all this stuff stay internal. The team, the team, the team.
|11/07/2009 - 4:01pm
I thought we'd be further along, too. I get that we're really short on players and didn't expect more than looking generally more competitive against the big boys and beating the small fry again. Sucks to still be having mental lapses and emotional collapses and total team fail, but them's the breaks.
Rodriguez absolutely needs to have a team that is solid fundamentally next year. If we must have a talent gap, then so be it. But a discipline and focus gap, that is something that is correctable. We've got to give him more time to see if that that "Hard Edge' will ever re-materialize.
As a fan, I hope they pull this thing together.
|11/07/2009 - 3:54pm
|I hate press conferences
That is all.
|10/28/2009 - 8:12pm
|Nice work, Miso
Looking forward to your continuation of this series, depressing or no :).
|10/28/2009 - 4:07pm
|Not sure that GERG deserves a "you got PWND"...
...given all the hand-wringing about the usual awful ILB and S play. I mean, you summarized the schematic changes yourself as being "so they can run two-deep without a guaranteed touchdown, just a high chance of touchdown."
Penn State did an excellent job of exploiting the new version of our obvious weakness; I'm guessing they would have done an even better job of exploiting our old obvious weaknesses. I mean, freaking Iowa put up 30 points on this defense. 30!
I think they're trying to see if they can get better by playing a relatively minor variation of the base GERG is teaching, unlike the Purdue game last year where they decided to burn everything and start again. I like what they're trying to do; they're just not particularly good at some key, key positions.
|10/25/2009 - 10:01am
|Denard is a Quarterback
A position switch is really not worth debating at this point, given that he is nearly the best quarterback on the team, and certainly not any worse than the second best. We've got to have at least one option that isn't Nick Sheridan--who is courageous, but not going to get the job done--at QB. This option will have to be either Tate or Denard.
His mistakes have been more costly than Tate's so far, but c'mon: they're both freshmen, and both freshmen from warm weather states that are having a hard time with this cold, crappy weather :). I suspect both of these problems will get better.
We need wide receivers to step up and help 'em out: Henne had Avant and Braylon. Who do Tate and Denard have?
|10/24/2009 - 10:32pm
|Cosigned on a lot of your points
save the first: Even giving him the drops back, Tate still had a pretty terrible day. Several of the drops were on marginal throws, and especially in the second half he was trying to force balls into double and triple coverage.
The "Two QB" system is not a mistake; the mistake, such as it is, is that our two choices are true freshmen who have been A) a bad decision factory since the trip to Iowa, and B) a turnover machine (but an exciting one!). I'm not sure what has happened to the decision making and crisp throws that Tate had earlier in the year; maybe it is the lingering shoulder problem. If so: hoo-boy.
I'm thrilled by the way the defense plays. I mean, it's pretty clear that we have huge talent vulnerabilities at LB and Safety; there isn't anything GERG can do but try to mitigate via scheme. Outside of big plays given up by LB and Safety debacles, the defense is solid. They never seem to get down on themselves, unlike the offense.
There are a couple of things that *are* disheartening to me:
All in all, I guess this team's ceiling is closer to where we thought it was before the season. I thought we would be done getting blown out at home, though.
|10/12/2009 - 12:03pm
|Methinks this is overly negative
Tate was clearly not himself in this one, he looked hurt and rattled; Rodriguez had seen enough (all the forced throws, near delay-of-games, forgetting to check the sideline) and he needed to sit. As of the presser, we know why (concussed); it's too bad that Rodriguez looked ready to murder the kid, but that's the way he is. Robinson looked about ready to puke after his first TD, but between a nervous Robinson and a rattled Forcier, I guess I choose Robinson too.
We played tough, with a ton of heart, and nearly beat the #12 team in the country in their house *despite* 4 outcome-changing turnovers. I'm disappointed in the offense's lack of focus and execution, but can't be that unhappy with the team overall.

How SSI Claims Are Processed
The Social Security Administration takes applications and evaluates evidence of identity, income, resources and other nonmedical factors of eligibility. We also determine if a representative payee is needed and, if so, appoint one.For a person 65 or over, the Social Security Administration determines eligibility. If a medical determination of the claimant's disability is needed, it is made by the State disability determination service (DDS). The DDS reviews all medical evidence submitted and requests additional evidence if needed.
