It seems fitting that the Oakland Raiders will end their season with a final home game against their longtime rivals, the San Diego Chargers. They will face off on Christmas Eve, but that will not be it for the Raiders. They have one last matchup scheduled: an away game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Still, you are not going to want to miss out on this last opportunity to come out and show your support and cheer the Raiders to another victory. They may not have earned a spot in the postseason, but the Raiders played hard this year and gave the fans plenty to cheer about. Tickets start at $64.
12/17/15 - The Oakland Raiders are gearing up for their home game on December 20 against the Green Bay Packers. This game has been highly anticipated because former Green Bay Packer, Charles Woodson, is currently playing for the other team. Woodson played with the Packers for seven seasons in a row and was the 2009 Defensive Player of the Year. Even though Woodson is one of the oldest players in the league at age 39, he is still making a huge impact on the field. So far this season he has intercepted five catches. Don't miss your chance to catch all of the action live. Purchase your tickets today, starting at $95 each.
12/10/15 - Much to the dismay of fans, the Oakland Raider lost the matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on December 6th. It is very likely that this loss for the Raiders means they are going to be coming in third for their division, just behind the Chiefs themselves. On the bright side, the Raiders have two more home games remaining. Additionally, if they are able to beat out the Chiefs in the away game finale to the season, they may just have a chance to catch up and surpass them. Regardless, their home matches against the Green Bay Packers and San Diego Chargers are sure to be exciting for fans. It starts on December 20th.
12/3/15 - The Oakland Raiders have finally broken their losing streak. After three consecutive losses, they faced the Tennessee Titans in an away game on November 29th and managed to edge out a slim 24-21 victory which came down to a single field goal. The Denver Broncos may be separating themselves in their division, but the Raiders are hot on the heels of the Kansas City Chiefs who are currently in the number two position. Being just one win behind, the Raiders have a real chance to come back and finish strong. The Raiders will be hosting the Chiefs on December 6th. This game will likely determine who will finish the year ahead of the other.
11/26/15 - Bay Area fans have been chomping at the bit for a contender in football for years now, and it appeared the Oakland Raiders were ready to deliver. Three tough losses have put the Silver & Black Attack back among those teams with losing records in 2015, putting a serious dent in their postseason hopes at the 10-game mark. With six contests left ahead, Derek Carr—who had a season-worst performance at Detroit—is well aware that his team's got little breathing room left. They're scheduled to take on the Tennessee Titans this Sunday and you can be a part of the action at Nissan Stadium! Get your tickets today from $43 and up!
11/19/15 - The 2015 season is winding down for the Oakland Raiders. They have three remaining home games, which means your chances to catch them live are dwindling.

The Raiders have had a couple losses lately, but if they are able to start turning things around now, they just may have a chance at the post season. Currently, they are sitting at 4-5 and third in the AFC Western Division. Come out and show your support to help make December the month the Raiders make their last minute come back.
11/12/15 - The Oakland Raiders haven't had a lot of success in the past few years, but this year they are sitting in the number two spot in the AFC West division. Their record is 4-4, which isn't outstanding, but it is definitely keeping them in the running. On November 8, the Raiders had a rough and tough game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The game was nothing short of exciting and it all came down to an 18-yard field goal by Pittsburgh's, Chris Boswell. Boswell sunk the easy field goal and gave the Steelers the win. The Raiders play again on November 15 against the Minnesota Vikings. Get your tickets today to see if they can rebound from their loss last week.
11/5/15 - Another solid performance from QB Derek Carr notched another win for the Oakland Raiders, who are enjoying a much better season than Bay Area fans are accustomed to. Recently-acquired Michael Crabtree caught for 102 yards and a touchdown, just one of the four thrown by Carr on the afternoon. The Silver & Black knocked down the New York Jets in the win, another up-and-coming team that has defied expectations thus far in 2015.

10/16/15 - The Oakland Raiders had one of the tightest games this season on October 11th. They hosted the Denver Bronco and the final score came to 16-10. It ultimately ended in defeat for the Raiders, but one look at the score shows what kind of game it was. It went back and forth several times, and each team was holding their defenses well, but the Broncos were able to break through slightly too much near the end. The Raiders held an early lead, but it just was not quite enough. Still, the Raiders have been doing well. This was their final home game in October, but they will return on November 1st.
10/8/15 - The Oakland Raiders are four games into the new season and they have won exactly half of their matches. This puts them in the number two position of the AFC Western Division, two wins behind the Denver Broncos. This most recent win against the Chicago Bears, by a slim two points, end the Raiders' short away series. They will be returning to Oakland on October 11th to take on their division rivals, the Broncos. If they Raiders hope to overtake the Broncos, winning this match will be a huge step.

10/1/15 - The Oakland Raiders snagged another victory when they played the Cleveland Browns on the 27th. The win also ended an 11-game losing streak on the road. Quarterback Derek Car completed 20 to 32 passes for a total of 314 yards and two touchdowns. Latavius Murray had 139 rushing yards and one touchdown. The Raiders had the lead early, but the Browns tried to comeback late in the game. However, the Raiders were able to maintain their lead when Charles Woodson grabbed an interception on a drive that would have tied the game with 38 seconds left. The Raiders next face the Bears on October 4 in Chicago. You can still get your tickets, with prices starting at $95.
9/24/15 - The Oakland Raiders opened the season on rocky ground, but they are already getting their footing. This week, the Raiders managed to score more than double what they did last time. In the September 20 match against the Baltimore Ravens, Oakland racked the touchdowns up until they reached an incredible 37 points. This strong victory could not come at a better time because the Raiders are preparing to hit the road for two consecutive away games, followed by a third after a short break back in Oakland. These away series are always easier when they are entered with some momentum. Follow the Raiders as they travel to the Midwest, then welcome them back on October 11th for their homecoming match against the Denver Broncos. Tickets start at $76.
9/17/15 - Jack Del Rio didn't debut with a win as he'd hoped, but the Oakland Raiders coach got some solid play from key performers.

He was credited with two touchdowns and an interception, one of two turnovers which hurt Oakland. It didn't help that Andy Dalton was on the top of his game in Week 1, putting up 269 yards with help from third-year tight end Tyler Eifert, who posted 104 yards on the afternoon. The Raiders get another shot at their first home win when Baltimore comes to town on 9/20, then it's on the road to face Cleveland. Get tickets for each contest starting at $43!
9/10/15 - It's a tough week for all NFL teams, as practices are kicked into high gear in anticipation of the start of the regular season. The Oakland Raiders are one of the few lucky teams with very few injured players, which gives them a leg up as they take on the Bengals on Sunday (Sept. 13). In fact, only defensive end Benson Mayowa was benched from practice in order to nurse an injured knee. Defensive end Justin Tuck, tight end Clive Walford and others were able to return to the practice field on Wednesday after being sidelined due to injuries sustained in the preseason.

The interest and excitement continues to build around pass rusher Kalil Mack, who has put on a show in preseason warm-ups. Oakland ranked near the bottom of the barrel in QB sacks last season, and fans in the Bay Area have high hopes that Mack will start to turn that around in the '15 campaign.

However, the Raiders offense is starting to look up with the draft pick, Amari Cooper. Cooper led the Alabama Crimson Tide as one of the best wide receivers in college football.

The Raiders do have some room with their salary cap to afford him, and Mathis could help with the offensive line. However, Mathis may choose to not sign with any team until closer to training camp.

Their last game was against the San Francisco 49ers. They battled it out for 4 straight quarters, and they ended up winning with a final score of 24-13. It was a great game for them, and a huge reason for their success was because of David Carr. He ended up throwing for 254 yards and had 3 touchdowns.

They are 4th in the AFC West division, and things didn't go there way again last weekend when they took on the Seattle Seahawks. The final score ended up being 24-30. They were simply outgunned on the offensive side of the ball, which has been a telling storyline for them this year. David Carr went on to throw for 194 yards with 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. He had his shining moments, but it was not enough to prevail. Darren McFadden had 13 carries, but only rushed for 20 yards. Up next for them is a game with the Denver Broncos.

7/16/14 – Respected veteran and team leader, safety Charles Woodson, is extremely confident in the Oakland Raiders' newest signal caller. "Every man on the team is counting on him being the guy…you can't discount the year he had before last year…we expect big things of him," Woodson noted. It's true, Schaub posted over 4,000 yards in 2012, with a passer rating above 90, so there's no denying this quarterback's potential. Score Oakland Raiders tickets now and see if Schuab proves to be the man this Bay Area team is looking for!
7/9/14 –The offseason acquisitions made by the Oakland Raiders have certainly given this team legs, and if you have any doubt, just ask Donald Penn. "We're going to run the ball, run the ball, then run it again until the defense stops us," the offensive tackle asserted. That answers the lingering question on offense heading into training camp. Score Oakland Raiders tickets for their first exhibition game on schedule and ensure the Black and Silver running game gets off to a good start. Pay just $4 to get-in when the Raiders visit the Minnesota Vikings at TCF Bank Stadium in preseason Week 1.
7/2/14 – The Oakland Raiders will be one of the teams to watch when training camp commences in a few weeks. Aside from the quarterback competition, what with four hopefuls looking to start under center, fans should keep an eye on the running backs. Two top RBs of recent years, Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew, are due to bounce back from two seasons filled with injuries and lack of production. Both suffered Lisfranc injuries in 2011 & 2012, but coach Dennis Allen has mentioned their impressive performances through OTAs and minicamps. See if their hard work pays off when the pads come on during preseason with Oakland Raiders tickets. Get-in for as low as $7 when they take on the Seattle Seahawks at O. CO Coliseum on 8/28.
6/24/14 – With the close of Oakland Raiders' mandatory minicamp last week, a few offseason conclusions came into view. Second-rounder Derek Carr has officially superseded Matt McGloin as the second-string quarterback, to which coach Allen commented: "We're trying to expedite his progression…I like the direction he's headed." Two other picks from the draft have likewise been impressive, including seventh-rounder TJ Carrie at cornerback and top-pick Khalil Mack, who is a bright spot on the field and in the locker-room, known to sing R. Kelly and Usher songs on his guitar after practice. Overall, Allen said the Raiders have had an "outstanding" offseason, and "there's [no] question you can feel [the improvement]" of the Black & Silver. Get your Oakland Raiders tickets now and see the revamped team hit stride this season.
6/17/14 – The Oakland Raiders are ready to close out on their productive offseason with the start of mandatory minicamp. Now it's time to see if the investments in free agent veterans and bright young rookies will pay off! Speaking of Oakland's future leaders, Khalil Mack has been impressive through the offseason and, despite some natural growing pains, the rookie is looking like a fixture in the Raiders' defense. Another draft pick making waves is Derek Carr, who is seriously giving Matt Schaub a run for his money during practice and OTAs. See if either talented youngster earns a spot on the starting roster come August with 2014 Oakland Raiders tickets!
6/10/14- The Oakland Raiders are working to "resurrect" the reliable quarterback Matt Schaub once was and dash all inconsistencies of last season. The club is enthusiastic about a serious bounce back year, and with a supporting cast of No. 2 Matt McGloin and No. 3 Derek Carr (36th overall pick), Schaub intends to flourish in his new home. Now in their third and final week of OTAs, the Raiders are determined to close the offseason with optimism and head into training camp strong. Preseason will be here before you know it, buy Oakland Raiders tickets today and see how your new QB fairs this summer!
6/3/14 - After 2013 saw the Oakland Raiders defense allow the second-most points per game in franchise history (28.3), the 2014 offseason has been spent rebuilding that problematic side of the ball. The renovated defense includes such notable players as Charles Woodson, Justin Tuck, LaMarr Woodley, Antonio Smith and more, who know how to build a strong front. Veteran leadership is vital for the Black & Silver to succeed, see if the new defensive squad can give this team a leg up with Oakland Raiders tickets!
5/28/14 - The Oakland Raiders have been busy overhauling both of their lines in the offseason and now, with the start of OTAs, we can see how the restructuring literally plays out on the field. The Raiders are "bigger and more physical on both sides of the ball" with at least 10 new starters looking to make an impression this spring—not to mention the battle brewing at running back between Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew. Score Oakland Raiders tickets now because this team is certainly one to watch in 2014!
5/20/14 - The Oakland Raiders buckled down their top pick Khalil Mack as soon as possible, locking in the first round selection with a standard four-year rookie contract. The Raiders also added more depth at WR; claiming Greg Little off waivers after the 24 year-old was dropped by the Browns. The receiver led the team in receptions in 2011 and 2012, but his occasional butter-finger tendency and distractions off the field were enough for the Cleveland organization to release him—all the better for the Raiders, who believe they can remedy these issues in the young and physically gifted Little. Score Oakland Raiders tickets and see what HC Dennis Allen can make of their new talent!
5/13/14- The Oakland Raiders came out on top in 2014 NFL Draft, making big moves with their early picks. The Raiders couldn't pass up the linebacker who's sure to be a playmaker from the get-go: No. 5 overall selection Khalil Mack. The Raiders took some risk with their next move, scooping up former Fresno State QB Derek Carr at No. 36 overall. While Carr will take the back seat this season, he could potentially become Oakland's franchise QB in the future. Will these picks pan out? Score Oakland Raiders tickets in 2014 and see how they do!
4/16/14 - The Oakland Raiders' preseason games will debut multiple new pieces donning the silver and black: QB Matt Schaub, in his first job since leaving the Houston Texans, RB Maurice Jones-Drew, WR James Jones, and Justin Tuck and LaMarr Woodley on the O-line. This new-look squad will kick off preseason with a visit to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1 (Aug 7-10). Raiders nation will continue their campaign against NFC North foes when they take on the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions, before facing the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4. Oakland Raiders tickets for their final preseason matchup against the defending world champs start at $52 at O.CO Coliseum (Aug 28).
The Oakland Raiders schedule is statistically the toughest in the league (opponents have a combined winning percentage of .578). After finishing 4-12 last season, the silver-and-black will play against all teams from last year's NFC and AFC Championships, traveling to Denver, Seattle, and New England, and hosting Denver and San Francisco. In Week 9, the Raiders will travel to Seattle to take on Terrelle Pryor and the defending Super Bowl Champions. Will we see him play a position other than quarterback? One week later, Denver arrives in Northern California for the third most in-demand game on the Raiders schedule. Is it a fluke that crosstown rivals the 49ers will visit O.CO Coliseum on December 7? The infamous rivalry game is the most expensive this year in Oakland $343, $75 more than the next priciest matchup which is the game in London against the Miami Dolphins. Matt Schaub will make his Raiders debut in New York as Oakland opens on the road for the fourth time in five years. One week later in Oakland, the former Texans QB will play the team that dumped him after one losing season (avg. $216).
2013-2014 Season
2/12/14 – The 2014 Oakland Raiders schedule is the toughest in the league based on opponents performance last year. All three of the Raiders AFC West foes made the NFL Playoffs last season, which makes for an automatic threatening lineup. The Raiders will host the Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, San Diego Chargers, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Houston Texans, Arizona Cardinals, and San Francisco 49ers at home. Last week, Oakland announced numerous coaching hires: Joe Woods as defensive backs coach, Marcus Robertson as assistant defensive backs coach, Chris Boniol as assistant special teams coach and Vernon Stephens as assistant strength and conditioning coach.
12/16/13- The Oakland Raiders fell to Kansas City, 56-31, and officially granted the Chiefs a playoff berth. Thanks to seven turnovers (five by QB Matt McGloin) and a sieve-like defense that allowed Jamaal Charles to run 4 TDs down the field, the high-score KC finished with the most points a team has ever put up against the Raiders in history, leaving head coach Dennis Allen on the hot seat. Oakland is pitted against the resurgent San Diego Chargers this Sunday, with chances of dashing their postseason hopes once and for all. Oakland Raiders tickets are $154 on average and $71 to get into the California showdown.
12/10/13 - The banged up Oakland Raiders team were beat down by a fresh New York Jets squad, 27-37, in what the team considers their worst loss yet. Oakland entered the week outscoring opponents by 45 in the first quarter (largest margin in league), but on Sunday they fell behind 10 points early and never recovered. With every score the Raiders put up, the Jets answered, while special teams missed two big plays and the defense granted faulty Geno Smith a banner day. In Week 15 they'll be back home where they can put forth their best effort against the formidable Kansas City Chiefs. Oakland Raiders tickets are moderately priced at $96 on average, but boast the highest get-in price at $42.
12/2/13 - The Oakland Raiders were unable to hold onto their first half lead, and fell to the Dallas Cowboys in Texas on Turkey Day, 24-31. After returning a fumble for a touchdown off of Dallas' opening kickoff and dominating the first 30 minutes, the Raiders could not put out the fire DeMarco Murray blazed down the field, allowing him three touchdowns on the day. On the upside, franchise quarterback hopeful, Terrelle Pryor, will start to see some play action for the first time since injury! Next Sunday, the Silver and Black will extend their road trip to New Jersey to play the New York Jets. Oakland Raiders tickets are $38 to start.
11/26/13 - The Oakland Raiders lost to the Tennessee Titans in frustrating fashion on Sunday, unable to stop Ryan Fitzpatrick's game-winning touchdown with 10 seconds left on the clock, resulting in a 23-19 finish. The Raiders are just one game behind to garner contention in the wildcard race, a very doable feat, as there is currently a six-way tie in the AFC. In a couple days the Black & Silver will go head to head against the Dallas Cowboys for a Turkey Day face off! Oakland Raiders tickets on
Thanksgiving Day
are the hottest of the holiday, at $231 on average—it might have something to do with an exciting
Selena Gomez
performance at half time!
11/19/13 - The Oakland Raiders not only beat the Houston Texans, 28-23, but showcased a stunning performance by 3rd string QB Matt McGloin, who provided a much-needed dose of adrenaline for the Raiders. Heading into Sunday with back-to-back losses and an injured Terrelle Pryor, the Raiders took a gamble and started undrafted rookie-free agent McGloin on the road against a desperate Houston squad. The result was better than what anyone could've asked for: McGloin became the first of his kind to make three touchdown passes and no interceptions in his first start, and sent the Texans spiraling further downward with their 8th straight loss. The Raiders will host the Tennessee Titans next week, with hopes that the rookie can propel them into the playoff race. Oakland Raiders tickets are among the cheapest of the week—get in for $40 or $94 on average.
11/12/13 - The Oakland Raiders suffered a disheartening loss, falling to the New York Giants 24-20 at MetLife on Sunday. In an ugly game, the Black and Silver were unable to maximize on numerous turnovers generated by Eli Manning, as Terrelle Pryor himself had a lackluster performance, including a very costly pick in the third quarter. Unable to scramble and make dynamic plays on Sunday due to a sprained MCL, the team hopes their QB will be up and ready to play the Houston Texans on the road. Oakland Raiders tickets are a moderately priced $120 on average, and $17 to get in.
11/5/13 - The Oakland Raiders were ungraciously trounced by the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday afternoon, losing 49-20. The Raiders were run amuck at home, despite being favored to win, and the defense allowed backup QB Nick Foles to tie the NFL record for most touchdown passes in a game, with 7. On the other hand, Terrelle Pryor went 22 of 41 for 288 yards and two interceptions before leaving in the fourth quarter from a knee injury. The Raiders will be on the road with hopes of shrugging off the blowout loss, to play the New York Giants this Sunday. Oakland Raiders tickets are surprisingly the second most expensive game of the week, at $324 on average.
10/29/13 - The Oakland Raiders came away victorious after Sunday's close match against the Pittsburgh Steelers, 21-18. The Raiders started the day off magnificently, as Terrelle Pryor scored the longest rushing touchdown by a QB in NFL history, rushing 93 yards on the first play from scrimmage. The Raiders elite defense has allowed no more than 17.3 points on average from the opposition, and stuffed Roethlisberger's 15-point fourth quarter rally. The Raiders will try to build on this momentum when they host the fading Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9. Oakland Raiders tickets have one of the highest get-in prices ($67) but average at $130 a seat.
10/22/13 - The Oakland Raiders are currently enjoying their bye week, after a crushing defeat by the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday, before coming back to face the Pittsburgh Steelers, a no longer winless team that has come up 2-4 on the season. The veteran Ben Roethlisberger and the young Terelle Pryor will both be putting up great fights and two completely different game management styles at O.co Coliseum on October 27, as Pryor has been working on releasing the ball earlier to avoid further penalty during the bye. The Raider's offensive line has been given ample enough time to heal, and fans will be relieved to see the return of Wisniewski (center), Gurode (center/left guard), Pashos (tackle) and Watson (tackle) to the lineup. Oakland has lost their last ten games coming out of a bye week, a statistic they will try to squash, considering the Steelers haven't won in Oakland since 1995. Raiders tickets are averaging $174 a seat, as the Black and Silver try and outdo the Black and Yellow in Week 8.
10/16/13 - The Oakland Raiders were unable to put an end to AFC West rivals the Kansas City Chief's perfect season, losing 7-24 and dropping to 2-4 on the season. It was a battering day for Terelle Pryor, who was sacked ten times because he had trouble getting rid of the ball in a timely fashion, and consequently received crushing blows from the monstrous Chiefs defense. Despite a valiant effort amid a deafening crowd, the Raiders were unable to maximize on their first half points. Distracted and unorganized by the hostile territory, Oakland racked up 11 penalties for 68 yards lost, Pryor threw three interceptions, which the Chiefs returned for 17 points and star running back Darren McFadden was held to just 52-yards rushing. The Oakland Raiders will enjoy their bye week and recoup after a rough game, to come back in Week 8 pitted against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
10/8/13 - The Oakland Raiders shocked the San Diego Chargers in a 27-17 rout during Sunday's late night game in Northern California, the latest televised West Coast game in NFL history. After releasing backup QB Matt Flynn, the team welcomed back potential franchise quarterback Terrell Pryor, who withstood a concussion two weeks prior. Despite missing their top two running backs, the Raiders offense was solid, following wide receiver Rod Streater's early 44-yard touchdown off the first play. The Raiders defense performed brilliantly, with four forced turnovers, a blocked field goal and ultimately limited the Chargers to just 32 rushing yards. The Raiders will face other division opponents, the Kansas City Chiefs, on the road with a history of 6 consecutive wins at Arrowhead Stadium. Oakland Raiders tickets on the road average at $173 in Week 6.
10/1/13 - The Oakland Raiders granted the Washington Redskins their first win of the season, in a 14-24 defeat at O.co Coliseum. Despite racking up an early 14 point lead, the Raiders, missing QB Terrell Pryor from last week's concussion, and running backs Darren McFadden and Marcel Reece, quickly faltered and were unable to put up any more points the rest of the day. Backup quarterback Matt Flynn suffered Washington's defense with 7 sacks and lost a fumble to Roy Helu Jr. who scored a touchdown to grant the Redskins the lead in the second half. In Week 5 Oakland will host San Diego, who often get the best of their North California rivals, winning 9 games in 11 against the Raiders. Oakland Raiders tickets, for their now primetime Sunday Night game against Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers, start at $24 and average at $94.
9/24/13 - The Oakland Raiders suffered more than just a loss to the Denver Bronco's during Week 3's Monday night game. Quarterback Terrelle Pryor, who presented a strong performance with 281 passing yards and no interceptions, suffered a concussion from a helmet-to-helmet hit by Bronco's Wesley Woodyard during the fourth quarter. Coach Dennis Allen has since refused to project Pryor's return to face the Redskins on Sunday. The Raiders, who led the NFL in sacks prior to Monday's game, put up a surprising fight against the Broncos, but were unable to break Peyton Manning. With or without their starting quarterback, the Raiders will put up a convincing fight at home against the desperate 0-3 Washington Redskins on Sunday.
Rebuild. Improve. New attitude. This is the focus for Oakland Raider's Head Coach Dennis Allen and team. The rebuilding process began in April when the Raider's traded last year's QB Carson Palmer to the
Arizona Cardinals
for a seventh round draft pick. In the same month, the Seattle Seahawks traded Matt Flynn to the Oakland Raiders for a 2014 fifth round pick and a conditional 2015 draft pick. Flynn is expected to be the starting QB for the Oakland Raiders; but Tyler Wilson, Terrell Pryor, and Matt McGloin are also competing for the spot. In addition, the Raiders signed six of the team's ten selections from the 2013 NFL Draft. Also new to the Oakland Raider roster in 2013 is WR and return specialist Josh Cribbs and former Raider Charles Woodson.
With the rebuilding process in place, the Oakland Raiders will look to improve from last year's dismal 4-12 finish. Can the silver and black pick up some wins against division opponents this year? Key games on the Raiders schedule will be against the
San Diego Chargers
(10/6), Kansas City Chiefs (12/15), and
Denver Broncos
(12/29). The latter is the most expensive of the three divisional games – Oakland Raiders vs. Denver Broncos tickets are averaging $163, the second most expensive game this season at O.CO Coliseum. The most expensive game at the Oakland Raiders stadium will be Raiders vs. Steelers with an average ticket price of $200 even. Cheap Raiders tickets are available for the Oakland Raiders vs. Tennessee Titans game. After the average price of Oakland Raider tickets this year dropped $37 in the last six weeks, the team has one of the
top ten cheapest NFL tickets
in 2013. In fact, Raider tickets are $30 cheaper than last year on the secondary market.

For more than a quarter of a century, Volvo trucks have been built with care of the environment in mind. In the design process this has meant that the engine has not only fulfilled legal requirements, but also the ambitions of the Volvo designers when it comes to engine emissions, noise, fuel efficiency, net weight (contributing to the large payload and thereby to overall transport efficiency) and several other factors.
ECT - Environmental Concept Truck
Superior environmental characteristics are vital for the future, if welfare and good health for the population is to be achieved. For this reason, it was decided in the early 1990s that an 'Environmental Concept Truck' ('ECT') should be designed, serving as a test platform for ideas to be incorporated in future series-produced Volvo trucks in various weight classes.
The work took place in a special project organization, which had full freedom to create the most environmentally efficient goods-carrying vehicle ever designed. It was soon decided to concentrate the primary efforts upon a distribution vehicle intended for efficient use in congested city areas.
Specially designed for efficiency
It was also decided that a major part of the design should concentrate not only upon zero emissions and low noise etc., but also upon the need for more efficient use of the vehicle, thereby reducing the number of trucks needed in the future and their transport distance and maximizing the carrying capacity in every part of the transport task.
To achieve a combination of both zero-emissions in sensitive environments and the possibility of driving any distance, a Hybrid propulsion system was chosen. In order to minimize the weight and dimensions of the driveline, and to make it possible to use any fuel, a gas turbine (developed within the Volvo organization) was chosen in combination with an electric motor. The electric engine with its superior torque characteristics made the transmission of power very simple (=efficient) to the drive wheels.
Safety and ergonomics
A major ambition was to facilitate driving in small streets and around narrow corners. For this reason, a solution with steering on all wheels was chosen which contributed to extremely good handling characteristics.
As always in a Volvo vehicle, the driver's area was both ergonomic and safe, with a low level cab (made even lower thanks to the lack of a conventional engine tunnel), wide doors and extremely good vision (both to the front and to the sides and rear, thanks to a TV camera system).
Maximum recycling
An ever-increasing proportion of today's transport goods are ready-made sensitive products which were well cushioned in the ECT thanks to optimised air suspension, with the ability to lower and raise the vehicle. The volume of raw materials needed to make a vehicle and the energy needed to transform the raw materials is huge.
For this reason it was decided to design the vehicle so that nearly all of the components needed to make the ECT could be used again (and again and again) in new trucks.
The road to more efficient vehicles
The ECT was presented in 1995 and created great interest. It is being used within the Volvo organization in the work aimed at creating even more efficient (series-produced) vehicles for the future. In order to study the options for using solutions derived from the ECT, various tests are performed in vehicles other than the ECT. One such example is a number of hybrid-driven distribution FL6 vehicles, which are used for daily distribution services in Gothenburg, Sweden. Today, hybrid FM trucks are being tested in the same way, to gain practical knowledge and as a test bed for future series-produced trucks.
This test is a practical test of the possibility of creating ecological and economic solutions in the short-term, which can contribute to a better environment in the sensitive big-city areas of the world. Tests are now carried out in secret in laboratories and in selected test vehicles.

The creation of
biblatex has made
bst files obsolete allowing the formatting to be done by LaTeX and not an add on program like BibTeX, but it didn't completely eliminate the need for an add on program and gave us Biber. What is it that add on programs like Biber and MakeIndex do that cannot be done in "pure" LaTeX? If a few new "simple" primitives were introduced, could these add on programs be implemented in LaTeX? By simple I mean not creating a
\biber primitive. Could they be implemented directly and "easily" in LuaTeX?
The creation of
Good multi-field sorting can't really be done using regexps. You have to be able to compare fields in a user definable order, with each field match locally allowing for case-sensitivity, ascending/descending, perhaps UTF-8 variable weight punctuation etc. While this is probably theoretically doable with a (very expanded, serious, like Perl's) regexp engine it would be an utter nightmare and slow. This is usually done with some tricky array acrobatics.
The uniqueness systems in biber (uniquename and especially uniquelist) require lots of interdependent looping constructs which are unbounded but with guaranteed eventual exits. I suspect TeX would eat memory like anything doing this.
You also need bibtex format parser which is fast (biber uses the btparse library in C via the Text::BibTeX module, modified for UTF-8 passthrough). Parsing and grammar in TeX? Shudder.
Lua is another matter. It's probably possible and would be great. But you'd be surprised how much biber does internally - porting it would be quite a job. You could probably build an interface to the btparse library which would be the first step.
You do not even need (in theory) to introduce a new primitve.
So in theory, you don't need it. On the other hand, in real, you have two problems:
I cannot speak of LuaTeX, because I don't know Lua really.
While the interpreter is Turing complete as tohecz correctly pointed out the main reason is that the job of these external programs would be hard to implement in TeX.
For LuaTeX the answer is more or less historical. LuaTeX was never meant to replace biber but I am quite confident that there are very few technical issues to overcome to create a biber library instead of an executable and then call this library from LuaTeX. In the long term the functionality might even be implemented in LuaTeX but considering how well biber/biblatex work together the question is whether someone is willing to reimplement this in Lua.

Is there a way to mass-star items in Google Reader?
migration rejected from superuser.com Mar 27 '14 at 10:59
This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users. Votes, comments, and answers are locked due to the question being closed here, but it may be eligible for editing and reopening on the site where it originated.
closed as off-topic by Al E., Jacob Jan Tuinstra, Alex, jonsca♦ Mar 27 '14 at 10:59
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
No, but the keyboard shortcuts of s (star) and j/k (next/previous) should make short work of it.
A keypress macro program (such as AutoHotKey) could make even shorter work of it.
No there's no way to do so. Couldn't find any user scripts either
You could mass star your items by using the API, downloading a list of items and starring them one-by-one in e.g. a Python script. If you exported the items you wanted starred as JSON you could use this script: https://gist.github.com/1342172 to star them (or the experimental web implementation), naming the file with the exported JSON entries starred-items.json.
There is no way to do it from within Google Reader that I know of.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Polls are open for Oklahoma voters to cast ballots in this year's primary election.
The contest for Oklahoma's only open seat in the U.S. House of Representatives is drawing the most attention. Republicans hope to take over the seat held by Democratic Congressman Dan Boren, who is retiring.
Six Republicans and three Democrats are running for their parties' nominations in the 2nd Congressional District.
Elsewhere in the state, incumbents John Sullivan, Frank Lucas and Tom Cole all face primary challengers from fellow Republicans. There is no primary in the 5th District that includes Oklahoma City.
The only statewide election on the ballot is a Republican primary for a six-year term on the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday.
(Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)
With Oklahoma's June 26 Primary Election just days away, the State Election Board offers these tips and reminders to voters before they head to the polls.
Study the candidates and issues before going to the polls. Get a sample ballot at your County Election Board.
Oklahoma has closed primaries. Only registered Republicans may vote in the Republican Primary and only registered Democrats may vote in the Democratic Primary. Registered Independents cannot vote in the party Primaries, but can vote in non-partisan local elections on the ballot at their precinct. Find out what (if anything) is on the ballot in your precinct by contacting your County Election Board.
Oklahoma law requires every voter who votes in person at the precinct polling place or during early voting at the County Election Board to show proof of identity before receiving a ballot. There are three ways for voters to prove their identity under the law:
1. Show a valid, government-issued photo identification;
2. Show the free voter identification card issued to every voter by their County Election Board; or
3. Sign an affidavit and vote a provisional ballot. (If the information on your affidavit matches your voter registration records, your ballot will be counted after Election Day.)
For more information about Oklahoma's proof of identity law, visit http://elections.ok.gov.
Thousands of voters were assigned to new polling places in 2011 following legislative and congressional redistricting. You can find your polling place location (and print a map!) using the Polling Place Locator on the State Election Board's website: http://elections.ok.gov. Or, call your County Election Board.
Polls are open from 7 AM to 7 PM on Election Day. Lines at the polls are longest before work, during the lunch hour, and after work. Voters can save time by voting during "off-peak" hours - usually from 9 AM - 11 AM and 1:30 PM - 4 PM.
Voting will go faster if you make notes about how you plan to vote - and take those notes with you to the polls. (Remember: you can only use these notes yourself. It is against the law to share your notes with other voters.)
Give yourself plenty of time to vote on Election Day, and plan for long lines if voter turnout is heavy - especially in heavily populated areas and during peak voting hours before work, during the lunch hour, and after work.
Voting is both a right and a civic responsibility. Take joy in knowing that, by voting, you are making your voice heard in our representative Republic.

I have read that intake manifolds distribute the fuel evenly to all the fuel injectors-- but then I read that the fuel rail did that exact same thing. So obviously I'm missing something. Help!

Here's how it works:

The inlet manifold distributes the air to the cylinders. In a modern car with multi-point injection, the fuel rail then delivers the fuel to the injectors, which sit just before the cylinder inlets.
In an older car with a carburettor or single-point injection, the fuel will be mixed into the air before the manifold, and the mixture will then be distributed.

After users have registered on a website, should that website send both username and password in their registration confirmation email ?
A system should not store the user's password in retrievable mode. This could be done adding salt (a meaningless string of letters and numbers, which doesn't change) and then hashing the whole string before saving to a persistent storage.
When the user signs into the system, the same route is taken to make sure that the password is correct. (password + salt) + hash = stored string.
Now this means that the system does not know the password, and therefore cannot send it to the user. Instead the user can receive a confirmation email where the user validates her email address. If the password is lost, we shouldn't send the password to the user. We should send a link to a unique page, valid only once, where the user can change the password, if the password were forgotten and requested by the user.
Please don't send passwords in email. Username is ok to send, though.
From a user experience point of view I would say it is nice to get your nickname confirmed in a registration email, but sending the password along might create the impression of lax security.
A user will never require to get their password emailed, if you set up a password reset mechanism that only sends password reset links to an user's email (in case they have forgotten their password). It requires more clicks, but users are becoming more and more tech-savy and know to appreciate improved security as part of their usage experience of your service.

If you've got a youngster in need of Tamiflu to ward off H1N1 or standard flu, but the store's out of child-friendly liquid stuff, you can mix your own fairly easily, according to the CDC and wise parents.
Anything related to swine flu or H1N1 is subject to regional shortages this winter, especially the specialty liquid Tamiflu given to children too young or adults unable to swallow capsules. If your pharmacy's out of the liquid, you can grab a sweet liquid, break open a capsule, and mix the two together in any proportion, as long as the entire liquid is consumed:
What liquids can I use?
A thick and sweet liquid, such as regular or sugar-free chocolate syrup, that masks the flavor of the medicine can be mixed with the contents of the Tamiflu® capsule. Sugar-free sweet liquids are available. The child should consume the liquid mixture entirely.
Not every medication can be broken open and mixed, so it's good to know that Tamiflu can survive a little bath in some Hershey's Syrup.

Information Pollution
Summary: Excessive word count and worthless details are making it harder for people to extract useful information. The more you say, the more people tune out your message.
Saying less often communicates more. Our lives are littered with extraneous details that smother salient information, as these examples from my recent travels show.
- In the lobby of the Sheraton hotel near Kennedy Airport, an electronic sign hangs above a monitor. The sign has two lines of 20 characters each, and cycles through the following four messages:
Schedules for All
- For Your Information
and Convenience
- The Monitor
Underneath Will
- Indicate the Flight
Schedules of All
- Airlines at JFK
JFK Flights
- For Your Information
- At San Jose Airport, when you board the shuttle bus from the terminal to the parking lot you hear the message: "Welcome to San Jose International Airport." Since you've just flown into San Jose, this information is hardly enlightening. Better to say something like "Welcome. This bus goes to the Orange long-term parking lot."
- FasTrak is a transponder-based system that lets you automatically pay tolls on bridges that cross San Francisco bay. Assuming that your car has a working transponder, when you pass a tollbooth a sign lights up that says VALID ETC. The word "VALID" is nice: It indicates that the toll has been deducted from your account and you can proceed. But "ETC"? Does it mean "etcetera" or perhaps e lectronic t oll c ollection? In any case, it's an irrelevant nuisance and communicates nothing given the context of the sign.
Each little piece of useless chatter is relatively innocent, and only robs us of a few seconds. The cumulative effect, however, is much worse: we assume that most communication is equally useless and tune it out, thus missing important information that's sometimes embedded in the mess.
Warning: Superfluous Warnings Are Hazardous
Information pollution is a worldwide scourge that afflicts not just travelers but everyone. In the United States, for example, you can't buy a lawnmower without a label saying that you're not supposed to mow your feet.
Most instruction manuals are littered with "important" warnings that caution against obvious stupidities, burying actual dangers amid a mass of irrelevancy. An out-of-control legal system has made a joke of the entire warnings concept; products are now less safe because nobody bothers to read warnings anymore.
In information foraging terms, information pollution is like packing the forest with cardboard rabbits: frustrated wolves are bound to hunt elsewhere.
Internet Pollution
The Internet is the worst polluter of all. Spam isn't even pollution, it's attention theft . But even legitimate email is typically copied to more people than necessary and contaminated by excess verbiage and endless reply loops. The Web is a procrastination apparatus: It can absorb as much time as is required to ensure that you won't get any real work done. Sites overflow with either low-value stream-of-consciousness postings or bland corporatese.
Studies of content usability typically find that removing half of a website's words will double the amount of information that users actually get.
Let's clean up our information environment. Are you saying something that benefits your customers, or simply spewing word count? If users don't need it, don't write it. Stop polluting now.

I am looking for a list of higher end mobile workstations that run Ubuntu/Kubuntu well and also have a hardware pointer stick.
Here's an illustration of one (from sciencesurvivalblog):
I wouldn't mind getting a Macbook Pro and wiping it but they refuse to use pointer sticks and to me, they are extremely efficient. I see a lot of potential for Lenovo thinkpads as well. System 76 said they have no plans to implement a hardware pointer stick so that leaves them out as well.
Any ideas?

Our Dish Drying Mat is highly absorbent and fast-drying, so it's just right for use beneath your dish drying rack or on its own to hold freshly washed dishes. It holds an astounding four times its weight in water! It's made from three cushioning layers to protect items while they dry. When it's not in use, it folds up for easy storage in a kitchen drawer or cabinet.

Microfiber cleaning cloths are exceptionally efficient. The millions of tiny fibers in each strand attract, absorb and remove all kinds of dirt, dust and bacteria. Plus, microfiber naturally inhibits the spread of bacteria. Whereas traditional cotton cloths push around dirt and germs, microfiber traps it until washed.
It's also an environmentally friendly solution since it's reusable (rather than disposable) - and because it allows you to tackle many cleaning tasks without the need for harsh chemicals.
Microfiber allows you to clean larger surface areas before it has to be laundered. Once washed, it's renewed and ready to go again. To prolong it's effectiveness, do not use bleach or fabric softeners when laundering microfiber. Whenever possible, launder microfiber items by themselves, and never with towels or other items with a lot of lint. And never use high heat settings on microfiber.

I can not assemble my nodal ninja 4. When I try to attach the upper arm to the base (sorry I don't know the proper names of the parts) in the very first step of the quick reference guide, the screw with the large black knob will not screw in enough to tighten it down. When I looked inside the threaded hole it was full of gray sand-like grit. At first I thought it was metal shavings from when the piece was machined, but I can't tell what it is for sure. The screw goes into the hole perfectly straight, so the threads seem to be ok, at least part of the way in. I've cleaned as much of the grit out as I can, but the screw doesn't want to go in all the way and I don't want to damage the threads by forcing it. In case I'm not being clear about which parts I'm talking about- I can't attach the horizontal arm which rotates on the tripod to the vertical "elbow" arm which holds the camera. Thanks for any advice
Edit to my original post:
I just came across a previous thread about washers being mistakenly left out during assembly. I had been thinking that one or two washers would fix my problem, but I wanted to be sure I'm using everything as intended. I'll try adding some from the plastic bag included with the unit.
One more edit:
That seems to have fixed the problem! I hope I did that right. Other than all this, it seems to be a very solid piece of equipment and I'm looking forward to using it!
The fix I found was in this thread:

Now that the long overdue resignation of Jim Tressel as football coach at Ohio State University has taken place, more heads must roll.
It can start with, in no particular order, Terrell Pryor, Gene Smith and Gordon Gee.
All Buckeye fans who are now ripping Pryor are pretty much the same people who cheered him loudly on Saturday afternoons at the Horseshoe or from the comfort of your Lazy Boy when the Scarlet and Gray were out of town.
You applauded and paraded around when he chose your school over Penn State and Michigan and now you want to run him out of town in one of the eight cars he has driven during the last three years.
And, this folks, is going to get worse.
Much worse.
Scholarships will be taken away, as will bowl appearances.
The Buckeyes will soon be on a par with USC.
Understand that Pryor will never take another snap from center again in an Ohio State uniform.
I know you don't care now, but come September when some defensive end is barreling down on some wide-eyed first-year Buckeyes quarterback, you will care a lot.
You will care that those five guys are missing for those five games. And, don't be surprised if they never suit up again for your beloved team.
The NCAA hammer is going to come down hard on Ohio State.
And, once it does, tell me what major name college coach is going to come in and be hamstrung with all the sanctions to coach your team?
Urban Meyer will look hard on that cushy job at ESPN instead of rebuilding a program from possible rags to riches.
Yes, rags.
Once those sanctions come down, Ohio State players will be allowed to leave school by the NCAA to go some other place without sitting out the required year. It happened at USC and will happen in Columbus.
Which Stoops will take the job?
Will Bo Pelini want to leave what he has built at Nebraska to start all over again?
This is going to get ugly.
The NCAA also has to take a long hard look at itself.
It didn't have a problem declaring those five players eligible in five days last December, so they could play in the farce of the Sugar Bowl.
Think they are rethinking that decision now?
This mess is more than five players and more than Tressel.
How in the world does one assistant coach or grad assistant not know what is going on?
How do those guys not ask questions?
And, if they did, why did they go unanswered?
Who didn't answer them?
I'm not sure what further proof the NCAA needs for lack of institutional control if this has been going on since the days of wunder-child Maurice Clarett.
How in the world does Smith, the athletic director, get through this mess unscathed?
He shouldn't.
Smith should also be shown the door.
He backed Tressel until he was backed into a corner and then he kicked the coach out.
The fact that you seemed to do little to really check into this situation from mid-December until that day you were called back from the Final Four, tells me you really didn't want to look into this complete mess.
Because you chose not to do so, this mess piled higher and higher.
"We're very fortunate that we do not have a systemic problem in our program," Smith said in December. "This is isolated to these young men and isolated to this particular instance."
Now, jump off that pile and go pack.
Smith will land on his feet much quicker than Tressel.
If you are going to clean house - clean house.
Gee should be next.
He actually put a panel together to look into how this situation was affecting Ohio State.
Dude, that answer was a no-brainer, much like asking for Tressel's resignation about 45 days ago.
Your football program is a laughing stock right now and you helped get it there.
You, Gee, did so in that infamous press conference, when you joked that you hoped Tressel wouldn't fire you.
Yeah, really funny.
Now, go pack your stuff.
Luke Fickell, the interim head coach, isn't going to survive this, either. How does the assistant head coach not know what's going on?
How does the assistant head coach turn his head?
How does the assistant head coach not see what Pryor is driving as a member of the car-of-the-month club?
And, seriously, you can say that with every member of the coaching staff.
Come August, Ohio State must answer to the NCAA. Its committee on infractions will review the alleged violations. It has been said that Tressel violated NCAA Bylaw 10.1 - Unethical Conduct three times.
Not once.
Not twice.
Three times.
Three strikes and you're out.
Buckeyes administration will immediately throw Tressel under the proverbial chartered bus in the meeting.
They are going to say that since they got rid of the rogue head coach, their punishment shouldn't be that bad.
They will argue that Tressel is no longer in his Ohio State chair and the program is for the better, even though they spent months doing their best to make sure the coach never left that chair.
