PHOENIX – Other Braves outfielders have cringed while imagining what it would feel like to collide with Jason Heyward. Nate McLouth experienced it.
The smallest Brave(McLouth) collided with the largest (McLouth) in the eighth inning Wednesday night, and the end result was a two-run, inside-the-park homer for the Diamondbacks and possible concussion for McLouth.
The center fielder still had a severe headache late Thursday afternoon, and manager Bobby Cox said the Braves might have to put McLouth on the 15-day disabled list.
"I'm going to talk to him after a while and see how he's doing," Cox said before the Braves headed to the Phoenix airport Wednesday afternoon for their flight to Minneapolis. "If [he's] not [doing better soon], then we'll have to call somebody up."
Cox said so far the diagnosis was a contusion of the head, and that it typically took three to seven days for a player to cleared to play.
McLouth took a computer-based test Thursday that's designed to diagnose concussions by comparing a player's answers to a baseline test each player took during spring training.
"I haven't seen the results yet," said McLouth, who didn't know if the DL was necessary. "I guess it's hard to tell because it's not even been 24 hours yet. It's not my choice, but maybe if I still felt this way tomorrow, then that would be a little bit different."
Heyward took a tumble and had some aches and pains, but was back in the lineup Wednesday. McLouth spent the day in the clubhouse and training room.
"I've got a pretty bad headache still, stuff like that," he said Thursday morning, before taking the test. "I'm just fortunate it wasn't worse."
Heyward had some unspecified soreness but finished Wednesday's game. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound rookie was back in right field Thursday.
McLouth collided with Heyward as they sprinted to the gap chasing a fly ball by Gerardo Parra, who circled the bases while McLouth lay dazed and Heyward scrambled to retrieve the ball.
The play turned a 1-0 Braves lead into a 2-1 loss and snapped reliever Peter Moylan's string of 123 consecutive homerless relief appearances.
McLouth was attended to before walking off the field. He was monitored overnight by Braves trainer Jeff Porter, who called his room at 4 a.m.
"I think that was a pulse check to see if I was alive," McLouth said, smiling.
McLouth hit the back of his head on the ground after flipping over Heyward, who tried to make a sliding catch. The ball went off McLouth's arm above the wrist.
Both players and Cox described the collision as unavoidable because the ball was hit to a spot between the two outfielders that required both to sprint full-tilt to reach it.
"The ball was placed at a perfect spot," said Heyward, who went down momentarily, then chased after the ball. "It was one of those where you don't really have time to look at each other, you don't really have time to call it. And if you don't go after it – that's one thing you don't want."
McLouth said, "If it falls between you then you look like an idiot, but then if you both make the extra effort for it sometimes that's what happens. It's pretty much unavoidable…. It's just impossible to communicate in that situation."
Moylan had not allowed a home run since Ryan Zimmerman hit one at Washington on 2008 opening day, but said that was the farthest thing from his mind Tuesday.
"You forget about the situation in the game as soon as you see a collision like that," he said. "The fact that they scored two runs – who cares? You look out there and you see Nate flipping over Heyward and you think, I hope they're both OK. Then Nate doesn't get up and it's like, oh, man."

I hate to kick him while he is down, but if McLouth wasn't so timid and insecure the collision would not have happened. The ball hit him on the wrist, but replays showed that he never ONCE called for the ball. That's just fundamentals, the CF has to make the call on that ball- he either calls it or backs off, it is that simple, just as the SS has control over the infield, and an OFer has control over an IFer. Heyward is supposed to go until the CF calls him off, just like he did.
We need to demand some accountability from this guy- he is not playing like a major leaguer. Is there something wrong with his arm? Last week, he called Heyward off of a ball with a runner on 3rd and then didn't even make a throw.
He is truly an enigma- on one play he runs down a ball like Andruw Jones, and the next he can't execute little league fundamentals. I guess he's a complete head case right now. I think he needs Dr. Lewellyn more than a baseball coach-

McLouth has failed to throw home on a fly ball more than once recently, even though he had nothing to lose. I believe all of this has gotten into his head, unfortunately…

Well, now he may go on the DL. Congratulations; I'm sure some of you wished he got injured just to get him out of the lineup. Believe me, I was frustrated with his offense and perplexed at his defense too but he doesn't deserve how fans are treating him. McLouth is lucky he didn't suffer a broken neck. By the way what a player says is more credible than what a fan says. Fans say he should've called for the ball. If McLouth and Heyward said it was in a place where they couldn't than they couldn't. They know the game more than the fans.
By the way, the Diamondbacks had the same thing happen to them in the 9th inning today, but not as serious. Ryal, Drew and Reynolds each went after a fly ball in no mans land and NO ONE called for it. Ryal made a sliding catch, then dropped it when he collided with Reynolds. There are just some instances where it's impossible to call for the ball.
I'm not saying they shouldn't, I'm just saying if both Heyward and McLouth said they couldn't than I have to agree with them.

and by the way i was watching and never ever seen any attempt by haystack to attewmpt'A sliding catch he mostly just lay there waiting for his stimulus package while the d back runner circled the badses interesting that jeff porter payed no attentuion to hayseed but lots to nate lol

Hal, good luck with the racist stuff, buddy..Keep it up.
June 10th, 2010
10:04 pm
I hope they DL McLouth. He'll miss a number of games anyway so we might as well have someone on the bench who can play. Melky is heating up, so there is no reason to take any chances with McLouth.
If Heyward ran over me like that, I would expect a purple heart.
June 10th, 2010
10:17 pm
Andruw Jones is in much better shape than when he left us. I hear he still lives in Atlanta, so would probably love to come back. We'd keep the good defense an may even get a power boost, who knows. He couldn't be any worse than McLouth. Plus he'd be dirt cheap!
June 10th, 2010

10:54 pm
That's the CF's ball all the way but like others have mentioned never is McLouth seen calling for the ball. That's basic OF play for the CF to call as he's coming across the field and a Gold Glover especially should know better. I hope Nate gets better, but a week on injury rehab in Gwinnett might be as good for his bat as his body. I seriously doubt Nate will drift into right-center again without calling for the ball emphatically!

I just read Charlie Manuel selected Bud Black and Bruce Bochy as part of his coaching staff for this year's All-Star Game. I think Bobby Cox should have gotten some consideration, maybe as a reserve coach, if something like that exists.

Bob in SF, I'm sure that when he comes off the DL if he is placed on the DL that he will have a rehab assignment anyway. I know Escobar did when he was injured. I know he is slumping at the plate right now but it couldn't hurt for him to go down for a week or two to work on his swing because it's a mechanical flaw that surprisingly hasn't been fixed yet.
Chris Young of Arizona last year had the same problem McLouth had. He was hitting .178 with 4 homers last year, got sent down in August and now he's killing the ball. Maybe the same will hold true for McLouth. I guess we'll find out. I really like him as a ball player. He's made some great plays for the Braves since he's been here.
Also, according to both McLouth and Heyward the ball was hit in a spot where they didn't know if they'd get to it or not. Why would you call it if you don't know you'll get to it? You'd look foolish if you call for it than are not able to catch it. They were both running full tilt so even if he did call for it Heyward may not have heard him until the last second and may not have gotten out of the way in time.
See the Arizona play today as an example: Three players go after a bloop in shallow left and none of them call it and Ryal (the LFer ends up catching it but then it comes loose after he collides with Reynolds.) Fortunately, they weren't hurt but like last night it cost them an extra run since McCann was on third.
Fans can say what they want and blame who they want but if McLouth and Heyward said they couldn't call for it than they couldn't call for it. It's that simple.

Edward Salcedo grandslam today in the Dom. Summer League. 17 years old. As for the Braves now, bring up Resop and Schafer. Try to peddle Karakami if anyone will take that 7.5 mil salary for zero victories.
June 11th, 2010
4:48 am
Send him to the DL and then to a rehab assingment to AAA, so he can work on his swing. I'd rather have Melky in CF and Hinske/Infante in LF than McLouth in the lineup. He is just bad.
Maybe we can get an outfielder for Resop???
June 11th, 2010
5:19 am
Everybody will forget about McLouth when Schafer takes his rightful place in CF…
June 11th, 2010
6:03 am
MItch Jones would be a great callup. so would Cody Johnson or Carberra from Mississippi. PLease dont bring up J. Shafers.He is A dud. They should put McLouse on the 60 day DL or relase him.
Shafer is barely hitting .200 at Gwinnett. he would hit less in Atlanta
June 11th, 2010
6:11 am
Minor league pitchers are not nearly as good as major league pitchers
overall. Jordan Shafer is hitting only .200.at Gwinnett he had one good year at Rome when he was juiced up on drugs. since then he just can't hit any better than McLouse
June 11th, 2010

Get well Nate. Maybe a few weeks of rest is just what the doctor ordered for your slump. PS: He who has the Son has life, he who does not have the Son does not have life.
June 11th, 2010
7:52 am
No offense Nate but take 60 days off and maybe your bat will heal also because it is badly broken.
June 11th, 2010
8:15 am
Hate that it had to happen this way, but the boy needs a timeout. At this point the the struggles have got to be in his head by now, this has gone on since the start of spring training. The Braves need to try something else with him. I don' t see why they can't send him down to Gwinnett for a few weeks and let him work on some stuff and maybe clear his head a little. He just go his 500th career hit so you know he has the talent, he just needs a mental break and some good coaching to work on his mechanics.
June 11th, 2010
8:47 am
Based on his production, we thought that he had already been on the Disabled List for over 2 months.
June 11th, 2010
8:49 am
Is there any chance of also placing Bobby Cox on the Disabled List – Or does it have to be a "physical" disability?
June 11th, 2010
8:50 am
I've been hearing people wanting Schafer to be brought up. IMO, I don't know about that one. Last year as a rookie year he was only here for 50 games because he struggled so mightily (McLouth now) and was sent back down to Gwinnett. Last I heard he wasn't really tearing the cover off the ball at Gwinnett either; batting sub .200.
June 11th, 2010
9:03 am
for this series, with the DH, bring up Jones or Cabrera. My worry is the depth at playing center from a defensive standpoint. Not sure if Infante has the range to backup Melky. Could have real issues, especially in an unfamiliar (to everyone) outdoor park.
June 11th, 2010
9:05 am
Did McLouth actually fly with the team to Minnesota? I thought you aren't supposed to fly if you had a concussion. He should probably stay in Arizona for a few days until he is cleared – or take a bus back to Atlanta.
June 11th, 2010
10:04 am
Call me Bobby.

McLouth did ride the graydog back to ATlanta.

McOut got hit by the COOOOOOLD TRAIAIAIAIN. We should be carefull with this unjury put on the 90 day DL.
June 11th, 2010
10:50 am
Too all the people who are saying that we are fans and dont know better than the players then obviously you have never played organized baseball. Rule #1 in Little Leage Baseball will tell you that you go for it and call off the player if you think you can get to it. As the CF you call for it but the other player will take an angle to back you up but still able to catch it if I see you cant make the catch. In simplistic terms for you is a ballplayer goes full tilt but is lookinng at his surroundings while running for the ball. Throughout my college career I learned to do that which was taught to me at 10 years old when I first put on a uniform.
Its unfortunate that they collided but a CF has to take charge unless he cant get to the ball and by then he should differ to the LF, RF, 2B, or SS on certain plays.
June 11th, 2010
11:01 am
Cody Johnson? Are you kidding me? The guy makes no contact in AA, so you think he can make any in the show? You better be kidding.
June 11th, 2010

They need to put him on the DL and bring him home. Remember Church??? I think it was and flying with a concussion is a NOT GOOD thing…

I'll take Andruw Jones, his 10 HR and his slimmed down body…..on the field of course – not personally.
June 11th, 2010
1:42 pm
Jordan Schafer, or Mitch Jones
June 11th, 2010

andruw would be good to have for a year..is he available though?
June 11th, 2010
1:43 pm
i doubt they will spend that kind of money on him though with jordan schaffer on his way back soon
June 11th, 2010
2:08 pm
Put him on the 60-day DL.
June 11th, 2010
2:24 pm
After Andruw's hot start with the Chi Sox, he has gone 3 for his last 34. His average for the year is down to .216. I was happy to see him do so well for the first five weeks of the season. I thought he had turned back the clock. Unfortunately, like last year in Texas, the hot start might have been a fluke. So … at this point, Andruw might be available, but I'm not sure that he would be an improvement. (The Chi Sox are not putting him in CF all that often …. )
June 11th, 2010
2:52 pm
When I'm on the DL, I will be nursing myself back to health with some cold ones and getting up close and personal with some hotties at Swinging Richards!! Can't wait, love those guys!
June 11th, 2010
4:42 pm
I never thought I'd say this but… time to give Schafer another shot..
June 11th, 2010
4:47 pm
DNice, that's the complete opposite of what happened here. If both McLouth and Heyward didn't call each other off than neither of them were sure if they could get to it at the time. Makes no sense to run after a ball calling off another player when that player knows he won't catch it (doubles in the gap is an example). It wasn't some lazy pop up; it was in the gap and they were both running full sprint after it. McLouth had the better shot at it but he probably didn't know until Heyward was on top of him that he'd get to it.
I'm not blaming either player for the collision; it's an unfortunate incident that does happen in baseball. Orlando Hudson of the Twins collided with Span earlier this year against the Rangers and Hudson was calling for the ball the entire way at 2b. Span never heard him and they clipped and Hudson got hurt.
I just have a feeling that if it was Melky or Blanco that collided with Heyward there wouldn't be much of a fuss. McLouth is just being picked on because he's struggling this year, which isn't right.
You people realize he could've broken his neck? But then again, some of you probably wouldn't care.
June 11th, 2010
6:30 pm
doesn't need to be an outfielder to replace Nate, the club already has Melky and Blanco as CF guys and numerous outfielders. Call up Thurston.
June 11th, 2010
6:51 pm
Schafer is Gwinnett's own version of McLouth. Where did the Braves find these BOZO's . we need to release both, then recruit a hitting coach
June 11th, 2010
6:54 pm
Thurston is a very good player. Thurston and Mitch Jones should have been called up before Conrad. Jesse Chaves is killing us too. Send him home

It's been said that the success of a restaurant, be it fast casual or fine dining, comes down to location, location, location.
El Pollo Loco will expand its presence in Texas with the arrival of its newest location at 4528 Hwy 6 & Austin Pkwy in Sugar Land this October. This marks the brand's first expansion into the Greater Houston market. The Sugar Land location will be the ninth El Pollo Loco restaurant in the Lone Star State, with eight others already located in the San Antonio and Rio Grande Valley areas.
The nutritional value of limited-service restaurant food has been the topic of debate among consumers, critics, and operators for some time. Growing concerns over Americans' high obesity levels have only heightened the debate, leading some observers to encourage increased governmental regulation of food, others to urge more focus on informed, unforced choice.
Much of the talk has been about calories, because consuming too many of those without accompanying exercise results in additional pounds.
Chicken chain El Pollo Loco is turning to its customers for its newest branding initiative. Capitalizing on its strong social media following, the chain is taking submissions via Twitter and Facebook for its #CrazyYouCanWear slogan competition—the winning slogan will be featured on El Pollo Loco's new crew uniforms come fall.
"We have the best, most loyal social media community out there, and we're really excited to call on them to crowd source some new ideas for our new uniforms," says Mark Hardison, the brand's vice president of marketing.
El Pollo Loco presented Lee Alvarez Sr., Rafael Armenta, Bill Engel, Chris Pingel, and Roland Spongberg with the company's Heritage Award. Given to select franchisees who contribute to the success of the fire-grilled chicken chain in meaningful ways, the Heritage Award was presented by El Pollo Loco president and CEO Steve Sather during the company's recent Leadership Conference in Indian Wells, California.
The limited-service restaurant industry is cashing in on diners' New Year's resolutions for healthy eating in a big way. At bagel concept Einstein Bros. Bagels, for example, January 1 marked renewed focus on the brand's Smart Choices menu, which boasts a selection of better-for-you alternatives with less than 350 calories and 15 grams of fat.
Priority Pak, a fulfillment, direct mail, and printing company based in Arleta, California, has stored, assembled, and shipped promotional marketing, operational, human resources, and training materials for El Pollo Loco for eight years, and the quick serve has thanked Priority Pak for its contribution.
During a recent Leadership Conference held in Palm Springs, Priority Pak was presented with an Award of Excellence from El Pollo Loco for creating plans that support and implement distribution accuracy and cost recovery for the company and it nearly 400 restaurants.
El Pollo Loco unveiled a new line-up of limited-time-only entrées featuring shredded beef available in three varieties: Torta, Grande Tacos, and Stuffed Quesadilla. Each entrée features beef that has been slow-simmered in spices, including a stew of tomatoes, onions, garlic, cumin, chipotle peppers, chiles, and Mexican oregano, then shredded to order.
For some brands, losing the long-held title of No. 1 limited-service chicken chain would feel defeating. But when KFC gave up its leading role this year to fellow quick serve Chick-fil-A, it wasted no time in getting back on its feet by introducing Original Recipe Boneless Chicken—a platform it hopes to make the brand's biggest focus over the next few years—and, perhaps most noteworthy, by unleashing KFC eleven.
El Pollo Loco, the fire-grilled chicken restaurant chain, announced four new variations of the brand's signature entrée, The Pollo Bowl: Chicken Mexican Cobb, Chicken Ranchero, Chicken Mole, and Ultimate Double Chicken. The new Pollo Bowls will be available for a limited time only.
"At El Pollo Loco, we have reinvented our Pollo Bowls to take our guests on a flavor journey," says Ed Valle, chief marketing officer of El Pollo Loco. "Our new handcrafted Pollo Bowls highlight the iconic flavors of Mexico, including Mole and Ranchero Sauce in an authentic and approachable way."

You want to implement a customer-specific payroll for a country. For this, you require a country grouping and a cluster ID for saving the payroll results.
Payroll, T500L, country groupings, molga, T500L_CUST, T52RELID, cluster
The list of ISO codes is available at http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes.
Use the country grouping and cluster ID that is specified for your country in the table T500L. This prevents complications in case cluster IDs that are not listed in it are used for other applications.However, if SAP later decides to provide a standard delivery for your country, you may have to perform additional actions.Therefore, you should create as much of your own source code as possible in customer-specific includes and in the customer namespace. (For example, the payroll program, own wage types, functions, operations, and so on.)To save the payroll results, always also use the international structure. Adhere as much as possible to the example of the standard countries. (That is, make your additions as you would for a standard country, but without the NATIO substructure; see structure PAY99_RESULT.)In particular for older implementations, you can also use the international structure for Molga 99 and cluster RX for the countries. However, due to the better evaluation options, we recommend that you use T500L as the starting point for each (new) individual country version.In Release 4.6C, country groupings and cluster IDs were defined for numerous countries in the T500L table. These definitions are also the basis for projects implemented in lower releases. Use these definitions, if you want to develop customer-specific payrolls. The non-numeric country groupings can be used as of Release 4.0 only.If you require customer-specific clusters for data other than payroll results, use the name ranges reserved in the TRESC table.To create an entry in the T500L view, as of Release 4.6C, you must use transaction PECLUSTER to enter the relevant cluster ID in the T52RELID table beforehand. In lower releases, you must define the cluster ID as a domain fixed value for the RELID_PCL2 domain.The T500L table was enhanced with Note 540898. The additions were also added to the list below. You can use the additional T500L_CUST Customizing table to restrict your view of the T500L table.With Note 608912, new cluster IDs were created and entered in the T500L table, the 'IS' molga was deleted, and the cluster ID for the 'TM' molga was corrected.With Note 748954, the VG and VI country groupings were added to the T500L table.With Note 1000674, the ME country grouping was added to the T500L table and the ISO code of the YU country grouping was changed to RS.With Note 1022651 the RO country grouping was deleted and 61 was created instead.With Note 1159850, the EH country grouping was added to the T500L table.With Note 1052406 the GG, IM and JE country groupings were created.When you implemented Note 1439023, the cluster ID was created and entered in T500L for MOLGA 57.When you implemented Note 1485037, the cluster ID "MO" was created and entered in T500L for MOLGA MO.When you implemented Note 1636283, the cluster ID SS was created and entered in T500L for MOLGA SS.With SAP Note 1673076, the cluster ID PQ was created and entered in T500L for MOLGA PS.Below, you find the table T500L with all 217 entries:

Late Update: Armed assailants attacked protesters camping in Tahrir Square in the early hours of Tuesday morning, leaving 16 injured.
The attack comes just ahead of demonstrations planned to take place across Cairo to press for the cancellation of postponement of Egypt's constitutional referendum set for Saturday.
The assailants entered the square from the Abdel Money Riyad Street and Qasr Al Nil openings and proceeded to shoot protesters with pellet guns and throw Molotov cocktails at them.
According to physician Hassanein Abu El Hasan, who works in a makeshift clinic in the square, the injuries included pellet bullet wounds in the arms and feet. One protester was also hit in the head.
Protesters have occupied Tahrir Square, the epicentre of the Egyptian revolution, since President Morsi's controversial constitutional decree issued 22 November, in which he put his decisions above judicial review and sacked the prosecutor-general.
While the decree has been amended, the referendum, in which Egyptians will accept or reject the newly-drafted constitution, is still scheduled for 15 December, much to the anger of the opposition who are highly unsatisfied with the final draft.
The Muslim Brotherhood has called for pro-constitution demonstrations in Nasr City, a densely-populated area in northeast Cairo.
The opposition, meanwhile, has organized six marches across Cairo, which will head to the presidential palace in nearby Heliopolis.
Rival protests are set to sweep the streets of Cairo on Tuesday over a bitterly divisive referendum on a new constitution.
The dueling demonstrations, which reportedly resulted in nine people being hurt early Tuesday when unknown attackers fired at protesters camping at Tahrir Square in central Cairo, has prompted Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi to order the army to help "preserve security".
The rival protests have been organized by Islamists backing Mursi and the largely secular opposition, raising fears of street clashes like ones last week in which seven people were killed and hundreds injured.
Mursi's decree instructs the military to fully cooperate with police "to preserve security and protect vital state institutions for a temporary period, up to the announcement of the results from the referendum."
Army officers "all have powers of legal arrest," it says.
The military, which has urged dialogue and warned it "will not allow" the political crisis to deteriorate, has for several days kept tanks and troops deployed around Mursi's presidential palace.
On Tuesday, police cars surrounded the Square, the first time they had appeared in the area since Nov. 23, shortly after a decree by the Islamist president giving himself sweeping temporary powers touched off widespread protests.
The unknown attackers also threw petrol bombs which started a small fire, witnesses said. Many of the protesters, awakened by the noise, chanted: "The people want the downfall of the regime." Recorded recitations of the Quran were played over speakers in the Square, according to Reuters.
Leftists, liberals and other opposition groups have called for marches to the presidential palace in the afternoon to protest against the hastily arranged referendum on a new constitution planned for Saturday, which they say is polarizing the country.
Islamists, who dominated the body that drew up the constitution, have urged their followers to turn out "in millions" the same day in a show of support for the president and for a referendum they feel sure of winning and that critics say could put Egypt in a religious straitjacket.
The elite Republican Guard has yet to use force to keep protesters away from the palace, now ringed with tanks, barbed wire and concrete barricades, but a decree issued by Mursi late on Sunday gives the armed forces the power to arrest civilians during the referendum and until the announcement of the results.
Cairo schools informed parents they would be closed as a precaution on Tuesday.
A group of senior judges on Monday said pro-Mursi Islamist protesters would have to lift a week-long sit-in outside the constitutional court before they would consider overseeing the referendum.
If the charter is rejected, Mursi has promised to have a new one drawn up by 100 officials chosen directly by the public rather than appointed by the Islamist-dominated parliament.
But analysts said still-strong public support for Mursi and the Brotherhood's proven ability to mobilize at grassroots level would likely help the draft constitution be adopted.
If that happens, warned Eric Trager, analyst at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, it would "set up the country for prolonged instability," he told AFP news agency.
Leftist politician Hamdeen Sabahy, one of the most prominent members of the National Salvation Front opposition coalition, said Mursi was driving a wedge between Egyptians and destroying prospects for consensus.
As well as pushing the early referendum, Mursi has angered opponents by taking sweeping temporary powers he said were necessary to secure the country's transition to stability after a popular uprising overthrew autocratic former president Hosni Mubarak 22 months ago.
"The road Mohamed Mursi is taking now does not create the possibility for national consensus," said Sabahy.
If the constitution was passed, he said: "Egypt will continue in this really charged state. It is certain that this constitution is driving us to more political polarization."
The National Salvation Front also includes Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mohamed ElBaradei and former Arab League chief Amr Moussa.
The opposition says the draft constitution fails to embrace the diversity of 83 million Egyptians, a tenth of whom are Christians, and invites Muslim clerics to influence lawmaking.
But debate over the details has largely given way to noisy street protests and megaphone politics, keeping Egypt off balance and ill-equipped to deal with a looming economic crisis.
Mahmoud Ghozlan, the Muslim Brotherhood's spokesman, said the opposition could stage protests, but should keep the peace.
"They are free to boycott, participate or say no; they can do what they want. The important thing is that it remains in a peaceful context to preserve the country's safety and security."
The army stepped into the conflict on Saturday, telling all sides to resolve their disputes via dialogue and warning that it would not allow Egypt to enter a "dark tunnel".
The continuing disruption is also casting doubts on the government's ability to push through tough economic reforms that form part of a proposed $4.8 billion IMF loan agreement.

Follows the true story of Solomon Northup, an upstate free black man who, years before the civil war broke out, was abducted and sold into slavery. Facing both extreme cruelty and incredible kind deeds, he struggles to maintain his dignity while fighting to survive. In the twelfth year of his ordeal a chance meeting with a Canadian abolitionist will change his life forever. -- Chris Kavan

Not saying anything different because everyone else was right. This was the best movie of 2013! To call it the "Schindler's List" or the "Hotel Rwanda" of our time is an insult. This movie is in the same league but it remains its own thing so we should not measure it by the standards of previous films-especially since one could argue it has raised the bar for such films.

A gripping, powerful film - deserving of the awards it has received. This it he kind of film that will open your eyes even as you want to shut them - to think this was the state of affairs a few generations removed from where we stand now. It's unflinching - scenes of rape, torture, lynching - and it's also the truth - and you will not soon forget about it. And the performances from Chiwetel Ejiofor, Lupita Nyong'o and Michael Fassbender are all deserving of major recognition (thought the entire cast, as a whole, it phenomenal). Not a film to go into lightly, but it should be watched by all.
Nolane 03/06/2014 (1 of 1 found this helpful)
A brutal, unflinching look at slavery that actually sticks very close to actual history, rather than adding unnecessary melodrama or purposeful historical distortions for political purposes. All technical credits are first rate, and the movie is anchored by brilliant acting across the board. A must see.

Rating of 2.5/4
over rated and pretty boring. its a ok decent/good movie but in no way is it great. The problem with these types of movies is they gain awards due to the subject matter but not so much the movie itself.
The acting is good but its very long and a lot is needless. and overlong shots. and not really showing anything. also the character is not very likeable. i just kept thinking what about the other slaves. why does this guy think he is so special. . then it ends .
for such a big subject i expected more content its not in the league of the other movies its beating in the awards. its good at best no more. There is much better movies than this one.

'12 Years A Slave' is the most honest, unfiltered presentation of African slavery in the United States. It's devastating to know that these extremely harsh depictions of degradation actually happened, that humans could treat other humans like property in such a cruel manner. The effect is emotionally crushing. But, the film is ultimately moving because of the lead character's enormous struggle. He is a true testament to the strength of the human spirit. A real survivor. '12 Years', without a doubt, is one of the best written, directed, and acted films of the year. It is important that everyone see this. A tremendous and powerful addition to cinema.

Review: 12 Years a Slave
Director Steve McQueen's lofty ambitions truly shine through in this powerhouse film that tells the story of Solomon Northrup, a free black man who was abducted and sold into slavery. 12 Years a Slave takes you through Solomon's tragic and horrific journey, as you witness the cruelty and extreme inhumanity of slave owners. As a film his story is absorbing and resonating, taking you through the unfortunate circumstances and anticipations he faces. The entire cast is remarkable but the true star is obviously Chiwetel Ejiofor as Solomon. He provides us with a compelling central character and immediately grabs us to stay by his side and root for him through his struggles. It's the sequences in which his character faces the highest of struggles where his performance becomes effective and emoti...

A woman whose boyfriend murdered his son wants a new trial for herself after the mother of the slaying victim sued her and won $400,000 in damages.
Janet Sartain filed the new trial motion to set aside the award returned by a Sacramento Superior Court jury in the civil case filed against her by Mary Lou Villa, whose son Alexander Villa was stabbed to death by his father, Gerardo Valencia "Jerry" Villa.
Mary Lou Villa filed the suit five months after Jerry Villa, now 54, was convicted of first-degree murder in the April 4, 2009, killing of his 26-year-old son. She named Janet Sartain and her elderly mother, Frieda, as well as her former husband, as defendants in the wrongful death and premises liability action.
Jurors on March 28 awarded Mary Lou Villa $1 million for the loss of her son's love and companionship even though she had a restraining order pending against him at the time of his death because he allegedly had threatened to kill her.
The panel apportioned 40 percent of the blame for Alexander Villa's death to Janet Sartain, meaning she has to pay $400,000. The jury found Jerry Villa, now serving a 25-to-life prison term, liable for $2 million in punitive damages. Janet Sartain was not named in the punitive damages award.
Sartain's attorney, Bradley S. Thomas, wants the new trial on grounds of jury misconduct. Thomas, who could not be reached for comment, argued in court papers the jury upped the general damages award to punish his client because she was not criminally prosecuted.
"Since the criminal system did not punish her, this jury decided to do so," Thomas wrote. He said that in the words of one juror, "they did not want Ms. Sartain to 'get away with it.' "
A hearing on the new trial motion is scheduled for May 31 in front of Judge David De Alba. Mary Lou Villa's attorney, Robert M. Merritt, said he will vigorously contest it.
"The jury evaluated the case based on evidence that was presented to them, and the jury came back with a fair award for the plaintiff," Merritt said in an interview.
According to documents from the criminal and civil trials, the killing took place at 10 o'clock on a Saturday night at the Sartain house in the 3900 block of Pasadena Avenue. Janet Sartain lived there with Jerry, her mother who owned the house, and Alexander Villa, who rented a room for $200 a month.
The night before the killing, Alexander Villa got angry at his two teacup Chihuahuas and began to roughly handle them. The next day, he holed up in his room with the dogs, and Jerry who had been drinking knocked on Alex's door that evening to check on the Chihuahas.
Concerned that Alex might react violently, the court papers said, Jerry armed himself with a knife. When Alex answered the door, an altercation ensued and Jerry stabbed his son. Alex left the house, collapsed and died. Nobody in the house called 911.
In his court papers, Merritt, the plaintiff's lawyer, said Jerry "had a history of heavy drinking and abuse toward Alexander." He said the night before the stabbing, Janet Sartain was yelling and screaming at Jerry to do something about Alex after the son's alleged abuse of the dogs.
"I told him, 'Jerry, we can't have this here,' " Janet Sartain, 50, testified at her boyfriend's 2010 murder trial. "'He needs to move. I have to take care of my mom, and he is going to have to leave.' "
Merritt said Jerry "and Janet" both got the knife before they went to Alex's room and that she instigated the confrontation. Beyond that, Merritt wrote, as a landlord Janet Sartain "had a duty to come to (Alex Villa's ) aid or to protect him from criminal attack."
The plaintiff's lawyer convinced the jury to make the big award, but Janet Sartain's lawyer has since asked the judge to throw it out and grant a new trial on grounds of jury misconduct.
Defense attorney Thomas obtained declarations from three jurors saying some members of the panel argued to award the $1 million in general damages in order to punish Sartain even though she was not liable for a punitive finding.
One juror said in his declaration that several members of the panel commented that "since Ms. Sartain had not been criminally prosecuted, the verdict we reached needed to be sufficiently high to 'send her a message' that she should have been prosecuted."
Two jurors said in declaration that another member claimed to have conducted an Internet search to obtain information on the case to find out if Janet Sartain who was never charged had been criminally convicted.
Thomas' investigator, Peter R. Brown, declared that he talked to five other jurors who admitted they voted for the $1 million noneconomic damages award to punish Sartain.
"It is apparent that rather than following the court's instructions and awarding damages only on the evidence presented about the loss of care, comfort, society and companionship, this jury effectively awarded punitive damages to plaintiff," for malice, oppression or fraud, Thomas wrote.
The defense lawyer also questioned the nonecononic damage award to Mary Lou Villa, citing the 2007 restraining order she obtained on Alex Villa because he "came to her house with a knife and threatened to kill her."
In an interview, Merritt said the mother and son reconciled two months before his death, although she never went to court to have the restraining order dissolved.
"He came over, they met and talked and said how much they loved each other," Merritt said.

Payment Schedule Change
Hi Bloggers –
There's been confusion about what posts are included in which pay period (because we close our books before the pay date), so we're simplifying our system. Hopefully, this will make it clearer and easier for everyone.
Effective Dec. 1, we will being using the following payment schedule:
- All posts syndicated between the 1st and 15th of a given month will be paid on the 25th of that same month.
- All posts syndicated between the 16th and the end of the month will be paid on the 10th of the following month.
What this means for you:
Your actual pay date will not change (pay dates remain the 10th and 25th of each month) and you will still be paid the same amount for each syndicated post. The only difference is the timeframe that each payment will cover. That's it! Here are the pay periods for the next few months so you can plan accordingly (be aware that, say, a post syndicated on Dec. 3 would have been paid on Dec. 10, but now goes to Dec. 21):
As always, if you have questions or concerns regarding the change, don't hesitate to contact us. Just shoot us an email to email@example.com.
Fool on!

At a Silver Spring diner last week, as Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler sat with reporters and considered a photo of himself standing amid a teenage party, one of the diner's owners approached the table.
A few days later, that picture of Gansler would make national news and spark debate about what Maryland's top legal officer and advocate against underage drinking should have done that June night.
He took the opportunity to draw the woman into the discussion, asking whether she had children, and whether she would have intervened if she went to pick up a teenage daughter at a party and saw that other teens were drinking. Gansler stipulated that her daughter wasn't drinking.
The woman paused, conflicted, and said her daughter would get a stern lecture, but she wasn't sure whether she would call authorities or shut down the party.
"You see?" Gansler said after the woman left. A few minutes later, the owner returned to tell Gansler she'd reconsidered. "You know, I might actually make that phone call."
Gansler shrugged, and before he resumed arguing that he had no moral responsibility for other people's children, remarked: "It also has to do with whether you have a boy or a girl."
Gansler says 'whether you have a boy or a girl' makes a difference in teen drinking

After losing on a last-second shot at Maryland Saturday, Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt said his team is "starting to play our best basketball at the right time of the year," which probably would instill a lot more confidence in the masses if the Jackets weren't in seventh place in the ACC — or least what remains of it — and threatening to become one of the most talented teams ever to miss the NCAA Tournament.
The calendar turns to March next week. Once again, "Madness" has taken on the wrong meaning in the state of Georgia.
This is one of the most talent-rich states in the land. But we're starting to look like paupers peering through the gates at the NCAA Tournament again. The Jackets may yet get in. But at 6-7 in the ACC — which has only one team ranked in the nation's top 22 — and with two wins over North Carolina suddenly looking just slightly more significant than the ones over Chattanooga and Arkansas-Pine Bluff, should anybody really feel that confident?
Seriously, how many teams should the ACC qualify? There are six teams ahead of the Jackets in the ACC with winning conference records. What has the conference done to deserve more than, say, four getting in?
According to various websites, the ACC's collective RPI, which is an index combining winning percentage, opponents' winning percentage, etc., ranks third nationally. That's behind the Big 12 and Big East. The SEC is fourth. In strength-of-schedule RPI rankings, the SEC actually is ahead of the ACC.
The SEC also has three teams (Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Tennessee) to the ACC's one (Duke) in the top 20 in RPI. Tobacco Road and Hoops dominance just don't intersect this season.
As Georgia coach Mark Fox said Saturday after his team rallied to defeat Alabama, "It's not like the ACC is running away with anything this year."
Fox would not get into a which-conference-is-better argument. But he said, "If you just look at our [SEC East] division, Florida, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Kentucky all deserve to be in it. I don't think you can even say they're on the bubble. In the upper half of the ACC, I don't know if they are as strong as we are, just in our division. I'd have to really look at that."
What you don't want to look at is how Georgia schools rank in RPI among the nation's 347 Division I basketball programs. According to the most up-to-date numbers in teamrankings.com, Georgia Tech is 31st in RPI among state teams. The Yellow Jackets are followed by Georgia (94), Mercer (229), Georgia State (245), Georgia Southern (279), Kennesaw State (294) and Savannah State (316).
(Off on a tangent: We wish Bill Curry and Georgia State good luck in this new venture called football. But it's a lot easier to build a winning program quicker in college basketball, just because of the sheer numbers in recruiting. If Georgia State suddenly is committed to athletics, here's the question: How much time does coach Rod Barnes get? His seasons so far: 9-21, 12-20, 12-17, including 5-13, 8-10 and 5-11 in conference.)
The team rankings' website also spits out a daily projection of the NCAA Tournament bracket. Those projections are being kind to the ACC. As of early Sunday, the site is putting seven ACC teams into the postseason bracket, including the Jackets, and only four SEC schools in. But the projected ACC seeds are low: Tech would be in as a 12th seed in the South, according to the site, Virginia Tech and FSU as 10th seeds and Clemson as a ninth.
Georgia forward Travis Leslie, who was recruited by Tech, North Carolina and Clemson in the ACC, said, "We have a lot of good teams in this conference. But I guess we still don't get a lot of respect or attention. Hopefully we can get some more teams into the tournament. I know it seems like the ACC is falling apart."

Are not these the same arguments about SEC football? Yet it seems the SEC "dominates" every year with football teams going to bowl games as well as inflated Top 25 rankings.

GT currently has an RPI of 31 with several losses to ACC teams on the road due to last second "buzzer beating" shots. Where would they be ranked if a few of the last second shots had not dropped??
GT deserves to be in the tourney, but they better start playing better ball right now (and put a few more victories in the win column) or they might be left out………………..the committee might use the story-line that they are not "hot" towards the end of the season nonsense.
I hope they get HOT and make this discussion go away completely!!
February 21st, 2010
3:27 pm
Yesterday was a step foward for Tech. Even though we had the typical struggle at the foul line, it was probably the most complete game since the Duke game (the win). Derrick Favors and Gani Lawal showed what they can do when they aren't in early foul trouble. If the guards can hit the open jumpers resulting from the bigs getting double than things are starting to look up. The real question is how will these young kids respond after a heartbraker. If they play like they did against an almost impossible team to beat at home(Maryland) for the rest of the season, then they should easily be in the tournament and maybe win a game or two.
February 21st, 2010
3:39 pm
As a GT and former season ticket holder, Tech does not belong in any tournament…..their FT shooting is abyssmal and it defines the sorry way Hewitt coches street shhoters who care nothin about the fundamentals of the game… UGA I heard yesterday has the highest FT % in the SEC…. this will only serve them better in the future… Hewitt needs to resign and donate his contract back to the GTAA for 10 years of gravy money he clearly has not earned.

I'll give the ACC and tech the benefit of doubt for now. Let's see if and how the ACC tourney plays out. If they lose early tech may not make it in. Win a round or two and they're in.
As far as UGA goes….. the new coach has made some noise with very little talent in house. We did beat tech and a few other ranked teams this year. In fact we MAY have beaten just as many ranked teams as tech.
February 21st, 2010
4:01 pm
by the way, according to ACC.com stats page GT is 11th in turnovers per game ahead of only FSU and dead last in FT %…. doing well in many other categories, but these two will keep you aout of any tournament.

Jeff touts the SEC in football, subscribing to the belief that championships are the standard by which conferences should be judged. The ACC has won more championships this decade than any other. If you want respect in football (SEC fans), then give some courtesy to ACC hoops.
There is no such thing as a down year in the ACC.
Mark Fox is the perfect coach for the dogs — clueless.

End of season game loom large when the committee selects. We are doing very poorly. How many have we won of our last 6 or 7 games? 2? 3? Unless you are a good win streak or win a couple rounds in your conference tourney, you WON'T even be considered – let alone have a chance to get it. I said we were out over 3 weeks ago in Jeff's blog (maybe now 4 weeks). I am the only visionary and realist on here. We are not going to the NCAA.
February 21st, 2010
4:38 pm
The ACC is like the SEC in football. It's a tougher conference, strength of schedule wise, so more of them deserve to be there.
February 21st, 2010
4:41 pm
Honestly, the ACC does suck this year in basketball; however, the sports media constantly will drool over the ACC in basketball just like they do in the fall over SEC football. There are plenty of quality football teams in other conferences (including the ACC) but if you watch CBS/ESPN in the fall you wouldn't know it. Just like now in basketball….the ACC pretty much stinks but they will still put 6 teams in the tourney. Honestly, I could care less…i live in georgia and could care less ab basketball…….football is where it's all at, and the jackets are on the rise in that Dept.
February 21st, 2010
4:57 pm
I agree JW, DRad has obviously made a point that football is his biggest priority, and tech fans should be happy because GA tech is a FOOTBALL SCHOOL! Always has been, always will be deep down. I believe Hewitt is the best we can ask for in basketball. if Radakovich really cared ab basketball, he would have dumped him by now.
February 21st, 2010
4:58 pm
An example would be Boise St in college football 13-0 against 8-5 Georgia. Who would win? Who deserves to be ranked higher? Who plays a tigher schedule? What's their strength of schedule ranking?
We can't reward teams that choose to stay in weak conferences, and NOT schedule tough teams.
February 21st, 2010
5:10 pm
Come on ACC fans, have you seen North Carolina's Tar Heels this season? They are really bad this year. Ga Tech playing badly with lots of talent. Favors has his best game of the season and the Yellow Jackets still lose! Missed free throws always come back to haunt you.
Thrillerdome forever, obviously missed UGA-GT game. Get a clue, you lost and Mark Fox out coached your team with much less talent. Fox has done a good job for his first season, now let's see him recruit.
Hewitt deserves to be fired, and thus far, should not be invited to the NCAA's. Possibly the NIT awaits for the Jackets.
February 21st, 2010
5:12 pm
The best way to be fair is to base decisions on stats. Jeff Sagarin says the ACC is a tougher conference in basketball than the SEC.
Until that change, they deserve more spots in the tournament.
February 21st, 2010
5:15 pm
Thrillerdome Forever, If you think that Mark Fox is clueless, then, my friend, you know absolutely nothing about basketball! He is getting more out of less than any coach in the SEC, or maybe even the ACC. Tompkins and Leslie are quality players that could play on any team, but the rest are just so so. Hate to belittle the rest, but most aren't great talents. And to answer the question, Tech should be able to get in the Tournament, but they better win most of the rest and get some wins in the ACC tourney. One and done there, and they just might be in trouble. That being said, the ACC should get at least 6 in the NCAA's. The SEC, probably about 4.
February 21st, 2010
5:32 pm
IF…the shortest word to the longest pain. Stop with the 'if onlys'. Teams shouldn't be in a position to make buzzer-beaters. With 3 big men who can really play, 2 guards who can guard, 2 guards who can shoot well more often then not, no team in the country outside of Kansas and Kentucky should be in the same gym with Tech.
Losing close is still losing. Losing to UGA is just plain embarrassing. Missing the Tourney should cost Hewitt the job – golden contract or not. And at least even a mediocre team should be able to make a free-throw now and then.
And just where is Mark Price?

I'll give it to Hewitt. Between him and Don Waddell, I'm not sure who the bigger BSer is to keep his job.
February 21st, 2010
6:33 pm
Jeff: The ACC may not deserve more than 4 teams but they may get five or six. I do not think GT deserves to be one of the six now. They played a tough road game yesterday but still lost again and
are simply not winning games at the end of the season when they need to. Unless they win at least
21 games (including ACC tournament) I do not believe they deserve or will get a NCAA berth.
February 21st, 2010
6:56 pm
We won't need to wait for the ACC or NCAA tourneys to see whether Tech is tournament ready. With games against Clemson and Virginia Tech coming up shortly, we'll know whether or not Hewitt was full of it when he said his team was getting hot at just the right time.
Put up or shut up, coach.

Fox talking about other teams in his conference that have whipped the dawgs and comparing them to another conference is dumb. He needs to focus on his team and not which conference is better. He can't even get his team to the NIT. Really stupid on his part.
February 21st, 2010
7:18 pm
To put an end to this sec acc crap, we should just rotate teams from each conference in both football and bball. That would create one awesome super conference.
February 21st, 2010

Doesn't matter what the sport or conference is — when only one team from a conference is ranked in the top 22, the conference doesn't deserve anything on a platter.

Teams gt lost to ooc. Ga is 10th worst in the sec. Dayton is the 6th best team in their conf. They don't deserve to be in the tourney. I really wonder why there is a push by the media to put them in. Is it for PH? Is it because they want to see Favors. Also, has there ever been a player taken in the first round of the nba who never played in the ncaa tourney? I guarantee no. And Favors probably would be a top 10 pick which makes gt's season even more of a joke.

Maybe Tech and UGA will get to play again. UGA may be just good enough to get into the NIT and Tech may be just bad enough to get into the NIT. If that happens and Tech loses again, Paul Hewitt better have an escape plan to get out of town.

that would be funny gordon if they played again and gt lost.
February 21st, 2010
7:49 pm
Jeff, the ACC will get a minimum of 5 teams and a max of 7. People love to say "this conference only deserves X amount of bids" without actually going through the teams in every conference and finding the teams they would put in place of the teams that the other conference "shouldn't get in". It's all well and good to imply that Clemson, FSU, and GT shouldn't be in, but the bracket has to have 65 teams…so I'm assuming you have the teams in mind who should be in instead.
Also, the 7th place standing is irrelevant. Want to try to compare resumes between teams with unbalanced schedules? Coming into Sunday, Virginia Tech has played 3 ACC games against rpi top 50 teams (@FSU, Clemson, Wake), winning the 2 home games and losing the road game. GT has played 8 ACC games against rpi top 50 teams (Wake twice, Duke twice, FSU twice, @Maryland, Clemson). They have as many wins against ACC top 50 rpi teams as Virginia Tech has games played against this group. There is just no comparison. If you want to argue that GT has underachieved, then you're preaching to the choir…but I challenge you to come up with a bracket that doesn't have GT in it. Then attempt to legitimatize why you put the last few teams you did in over Tech.
These are good starting points: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/polls?poll=5
Hint: The Independents don't get a bid.

This is kind of like in football when everyone is saying the SEC is having a down year and why do they need to have so many bowl bids. It is because they are good, and deserve it. It is the same with the ACC in basketball. They get the bids because they are good. Whether we like it or not, reputation in college sports means something. The ACC just has that basketball reputation. That is why they get those bids.

Hewitt's contract gives him a bonus if he gets into the NIT or NCAA tournament. He also gets an additional bonus for each game he wins in either tournament. Since he knows he has a better chance of winning more games in the NIT than the NCAA, I think he may be coaching this team down on purpose to make more money. The Paul Hewitt excuse show should be interesting this Thursday. He has used "tired legs", "tired from finals", "tired from traveling", and "players didn't do what I told them to do". I can't wait to see what the new excuse will be.

Our beloved grandfather, Poppy Sol, started this business in an open-air market. Three generations later, we're still bringing smiles to our customers' faces.
Organic Almonds (Raw, No Shell)
Certified: Organic Gluten-Free Kosher
Unpasteurized, Raw, Organic Almonds
Perfectly delicious, loaded with nutrition and significant in size, these organic almonds are among our
best selling products. Our raw organic almonds are just that--truly raw and unpasteurized
--and certified organic. Great raw almonds like these can be difficult to get in the United States,
as California almonds marketed as "raw" are often steam-pasteurized, but our non-pasteurized
almonds are imported from Spain.
The robust flavor of our organic almonds makes them a superior snack all by themselves, and they're
incredible in homemade trail mix or sprinkled over desserts. You can even blend raw almonds in a food
processor or coffee grinder to make your own fresh, raw almond flour.
Organic Raw Almond Nutrition
1) Lower Cholesterol: Organic almonds boast the highest concentration of monounsaturated fat among commonly eaten nuts. The cholesterol-lowering effect of this heart-healthy fat has been demonstrated in numerous studies. A 2005 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that consuming almonds as part of a heart-healthy diet can lower LDL "bad" cholesterol levels just as effectively as first generation statin drugs.
2) Protective Antioxidants: Almonds are one of the richest food sources of alpha-tocopherol, the form of vitamin E that is most easily absorbed by the body. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that supports the immune system, helps our bodies create red blood cells, and protects cells against the damaging effects of free radicals. According to research in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, eating almonds can help meet the Recommended Dietary Allowance of 15 mg/day alpha-tocopherol and improve red blood cell concentration.
3) Tons of Nutrients: Organic almonds are abundant in even more nutty nutrients, like protein, dietary fiber, magnesium, calcium, and potassium. A one-ounce serving of almonds contains 12% of the Daily Value (DV) of protein, nearly 15% DV of dietary fiber, 20% DV of magnesium, 7% DV of calcium, and 5% DV of potassium.
4) Regulate Blood Sugar Levels: Almonds are a rich source of soluble fiber, which helps the body absorb nutrients from food and slows the uptake of cholesterol in the blood. A 2007 study published in the journal Metabolism found that eating almonds alongside white bread regulated spikes in blood sugar that normally occur with eating white bread alone. Almond consumption also appeared to lower the glycemic index of the meal.
Amazingly Filling Organic Raw Almonds
Almonds' monounsaturated fat can not only lower LDL or "bad" cholesterol, it can keep you full-- really full--for a really long time. For this reason, organic raw almonds are promoted more frequently than other organic raw nuts as a powerful weight loss food. When it comes to a great tasting, nutrient-rich snack that makes it easier to avoid overeating, organic almonds have few rivals.
These non pasteurized almonds are a unique variety from Spain. This particular variety will always have some almonds that are bitter. These are not dangerous to eat, but they may have a slightly unpleasant taste to some. Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid this.

LOST 6.1: Fear and Trembling
- Thursday, February 04, 2010
Locke: Still in a wheelchair, but not embarrassed or full of self-pity about it. I want to believe he got to go on his Walkabout, like he tells Boone (he sounds so honest), although that brings into question why he is then on 815. The reason he was on this flight the first time is because he was not allowed to go on the Walkabout. So if he did go on it, shouldn't he be on a different return flight about 10 days into the future? Locke is genial, and confident. So much so that - knowing that Katey Sagal has signed to return to the show - I wondered if Locke might be married to Helen. I checked his hand - no ring. Bummer.
Hurley: Instead of cursed, Hurley is now doing what Jacob once suggested, and looking at everything in his life as luck or a blessing instead, even calling himself "the luckiest guy in the world," which only makes him more confident, so it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Instead of owning one Mr. Cluck's franchise, he now owns the company, and has gone global. Good to hear the "Have a cluckety-cluck-cluck-day" line again, in a bad Aussie accent this time.
Arzt: Still annoying, bugging Hurley to "say the line," but far less so. Holds a book or card with pictures of scorpions and ticks on it, so is still fascinated with bugs.
Sawyer: Whatever happened to him in Australia, it wasn't an accidental killing which he's regretting. He grins from ear-to-ear most of the episode, though he still makes it his business to pick up on everything that's happening around him (Hurley having money, Kate being in cuffs). He truly looks like a "confidence man," even helping a pretty girl escape airport security. The tortured past and present are - if they exist - not obvious on his face in the least.
Kate: Not much different in her character or storyline yet from what we can tell. Still running, still pulling guns, still telling lies, still "a murderer" (though there is rampant speculation that it wasn't her father she killed in this bizzaro timeline). We'll have to wait and learn more about her.
Sun and Jin: Biggest revelation to me was that they're not married (did you catch that?). Not only is she not wearing a ring, and wistfully talking about how happy Bernard and Rose look together, but when Customs hauls Jin away, they address her as "Miss Paik" instead of "Mrs. Kwon." This small fact of not being married doesn't stop Jin from telling her to button up that top button, though, one of the many things that made us roll our eyes at him in the first season. He's still flying for the purpose of delivering the watch, and still works for Paik Industries, but he's got some heavy cash in his suitcase. Does Sun understand English? The question put to her from the Customs agent about if she does, now would be a good time to say so, is meant to parallel the original storyline, but here, I don't think she does. Not having married Jin, she probably hasn't had reason or desire to learn yet. Why is she traveling with him? Perhaps as an emissary of her father's company? Not sure yet.
Charlie: He's wearing the ring, and he's got drugs. Was he attempting to hide them by swallowing them, or was it a suicide attempt? All we know is that he tells Jack he shouldn't have saved him because he's "supposed to die." We know that's a big part of the Charlie storyline originally, but he sure has accepted this fate - if it is indeed still his fate - a lot earlier in this timeline than he did in the old one. He's one of the few characters that looks LOST on this new 815.
Boone: I like the way the show covered for Maggie Grace being unwilling to return as Shannon. It's just a part of Boone's story. He did go to get her out of a relationship, she probably conned him, but it didn't eat him up. He's able to leave her behind, something which took one heck of a drug-induced vision quest from Locke the first time around for him to realize.

Center Matt Birk helped lead the Baltimore Ravens to a Super Bowl victory this past season, his first. And like his teammate Ray Lewis, Birk is going to ride off into the sunset having won his last game and finally getting that elusive Super Bowl Ring.
ESPN's NFL Insider Adam Schefter tweeted: "Ravens C Matt Birk will announce his retirement today, the Baltimore Sun reports. Birk is poised to succeed off field as he did on it."
Matt Birk was drafted out of Harvard in the 6th round of the 1998 draft by the Minnesota Vikings. He played the first 11 of his 15 NFL seasons in Minnesota before coming to Baltimore.
Birk's current deal has him signed through the 2015 season but retirement was on his mind after losing in the AFC Championship game a season ago. He came back for one more chance to win a ring and finally won one.
He would've made $2.75 million this season, not a large number but nevertheless cap relief for the Baltimore Ravens who are trying to resign Super Bowl XLVII MVP Joe Flacco. That brings the total for the Ravens to $10 million under the cap, still not enough to ink the quarterback.
Gino Gradkowski, yes that other guys brother, is listed as the back up center for the Baltimore Ravens. They could try to go out and find a veteran to fill the void Birk will create by his retirement.
