Louisville is heading to the 10th inning tied at 3.
Dayton trails by 1 as they head to the bottom of the 10th.
McMyne gave up an oppo bomb in the top of the 10th. Hit right off the foul pole.
Dragons lose on a GIDP in the bottom of the tenth. 5-4 they go down.
Daniel Corcino goes 1-2-3 on 3 grounders in the first. Good guys coming to the plate.
Neftali Soto with an opposite field solo shot. Bats 4-3 in the top of 11.
Pensacola is scoreless through 4 in game 2. Corcino has thrown just 53 pitches. Taijuan Walker is slightly behind him with 57.
Bakersfield is down 1-0. Lotzkar gave up a leadoff home run. Billy Hamilton singled, but was caught stealing later in the inning.
Still 1-0 through the bottom of the 3rd. While what Cingrani has done has been extremely impressive, from a prospect point of view, Lotzkar might even be having a better season. You can understand how a college lefty with a killer fastball overpowers high A... not so much a guy who's had injuries and surgery derail the past 3 years of his career while hanging on by a thread to his prospect status.
Daniel Corcino is likely done. Through 6 for him, 90 pitches, no runs, 3 walks and 4 strikeouts.
Corcino lowered his ERA to 2.61 on the season. He seems to battle control here and there, but has really been able to limit the damage so far this season.
And now sporting a nifty 2.61 ERA. It's nice to see him right the ship in AA after a slightly rockier start to the season.
K rates are down on the whole, though. He's looking more like Cueto every day.
Bakersfield takes a 3-1 lead with a David Vidal three run bomb.
Vidal just put the Blaze up 3-1 with a 3-run blast, his second hit.
Edit: What he said.
Henry Rodriguez scores on a Brodie Greene single in the 6th. Blue Wahoos up 1-0.

As I discussed in a previous post (custom search engines for efficiency), I love simple tweaks that provide an improved workflow, don't make me think, and reclaim wasted screen real-estate.
With the release of Firefox 4, namely the new App Tab feature, I decided I would share some tips I've been using in Google Chrome, hoping others will find them useful.
Pictures are worth a thousand words, so:
Recently I've been going over the Hub logs and fixing issues which have caused exceptions to be raised in the application.
One in particular had me stumped for a while. An exception was being raised in an attempt to unregister a server from the Hub, but the server did not exist in the database - in theory this is impossible and should never happen.
A few months ago I was looking for ways to improve the TurnKey web site. I spent a lot of time researching good web site design online by:
I payed especially close attention to the social aspects of the web sites I was studying as I was interested in improving the social experience on the TurnKey web site as well.
I wanted to improve my understanding of good web design in general. Not just for my work on the TurnKey web site. By then we were discussing our ideas for the TurnKey Hub and it was clear it would come in handy for that as well.
Page load times are important. Amazon insiders estimate that every 100 ms increase in latency costs Amazon roughly %1 of profit.
Simply put: visitors hate slow sites, so don't make them wait.
Unfortunately, many web sites, including this one up until recently, are slowed down by inefficiently encoded images. Note that there are many other components to page load times and if you're looking to optimize your web site you should analyze and understand all of them. But today we're just going to focus on the images.

Discussion in 'Science Fiction & Fantasy' started by T'Baio, Feb 28, 2009.
I've never read it, but I just got it. It doesn't look like I'll get through it by Thursday though.
Fuck the Squid. Moore's ending is lifted from at least two other places anyway.
How about we WATCH the movie first before bashing it to pieces?
When translating a work from page to screen there should be an obligation to be true to the original work.
If you want to change the story, then don't use the same title because you are not telling the same tale.
Not really surprising. Hollywood lives to make things "gritty" and more "realistic" these days. Hell a gigantic genetically designed creature capable of sending out a psionic wave that kills most of the people in New York could never fit in a film with a blue naked dude that has the power to do about anything.
Tell that to Alan Moore when he turned characters from classic works of literature into sexual and social deviants and had the audacity to try and pretend it was art.
You might have a case if Moore was adapting "Alice in Wonderland", "Peter Pan", or "Wizard of Oz". He wasn't. He came out with an entirely new story with an entirely different title that featured the characters.
Countless authors have done this. I mean, does every crazy book that features the character of Dracula somehow detract from the original Bram Stoker novel?
Ridiculous. And from what I've heard, the spirit of the story remains intact. Probably more so than just about any comic adaptation to date.
That's just it. I think the big, blue, naked demigod that vacations on Mars is more than enough of a fantastic element for moviegoers. Piling on a gigantic alien squid with psionic powers would be too much. In fact, I thought it was too much in the graphic novel and I couldn't be happier with what they came up with instead.
I wouldn't normally bitch about it, but Moore is the biggest hypocrite in the world for constantly saying how Hollywood rapes is characters and stories. And then he goes and writes LOEG, in which he literally and figuratively does that to much beloved characters written by authors who would no doubt disapprove of the filth he drags their characters into. He has no right to bitch about The LOEG movie. Because they weren't his characters to begin with. And if anything, they came across better then when he was writing them.
And that's really the only thing that matters.
But it's the same as with LOEG. He used the characters but he never purported to adapt the actual books "The Invisible Man", "King Solomon's Mines", "Dr. Jekyll", etc. He just used the characters. Many authors do this. I don't see the hypocrisy here.
If he was complaining about WB or Fox using some of his characters in some other movie that wasn't based on his work, then yes, I would see that as hypocritical.
What?! They ditched the homage to The Outer Limits?
He kind of was adapting it. He'll just never admit to it. LOEG is presented as being very pseudo-sequelish in terms of tone, content, homages, and in terms of continuity. This was not Billy The Kid vs Dracula. This was a deliberate attempt to try and recreate the world, personalities, and themes of these characters with a contemporary flair. Except his flair almost always involves deviant behavior. The book prides itself on being as authentic and true to form as possible, and that right there is the difference.
He was complaining non-stop about the movie and how it was butchering his work. It could be aruged he did the same thing to Robert Louis Stevenson, Brahm Stoker, and Jules Verne. If you don't see the hypocricay then I'm sorry.
I very nearly missed the winking smilie here and was just about to write a rebuttal...
(Sheldon) But... This is my spot... (/Sheldon)
They make the same basic point and accomplish the same goals in a way that's consistent with already established characters and events in the story without introducing a completely new (and bizarre to the uninitiated) element out of the blue.
Plus, they improve on the dramatic weight of the ending by having Dr. Manhattan make the ultimate sacrifice for the good of mankind.
I'm not seeing the big issue here, beyond a demand for ridiculous levels of faithfulness to the story that simply can't always be done when translating to film.
I think this ending is a vast improvement over the original, and frankly makes more sense within the context of the story. Much of the story is about Manhattan's alienation from humankind and eventual decision that they are worth saving, and instead of capitalizing on that more, they bring in the Squid. This actually ties in better with what came before, and gives a plausible reason for the actual cause of the escalation between the US and USSR to leave forever.
So if the squid is no longer in the film what did Edward Blake ("The Comedian") discover on the uncharted island that gets him thrown through the window of his highrise apartment as per the trailers?
Their plans for the satellite weapons or whatever it was they used to fake the Manhattan attacks, possible future projections of how the scheme would work, etc.
Separate names with a comma.

Hi there,
I have no idea how feasible this is, but I think it would be a neat feature. What about adding some additional things to the sidebar menu? I use the dragon skin so I don't know if there is more on the other one, but I especially think it would be cool to have a link on the sidebar menu for our favorite stories and authors. Right now I go through Account Info and that's fine but a more direct link might be cool.
Just an idea!

You Paid How Much?!?
- Paul D(prd1982)Australia
Games are great, obviously, but cheap games are greater.Recommend
Sometimes, though, you have to pay a lot for a game you really want. Especially if it's out of print or hard to find. When I spend a lot of cash on a game I really hope it turns out to be worthwhile.
I just made the most expensive boardgame related purchase I've ever made (I know it's not much for War of the Ring Collector Edition or Settlers of Catan Collector Edition type people, but it's a lot for me), and it made me wonder:
(1) What's the most you've ever spent on a single game?
(2) Was it worth it?
(3) Do you have a high price tag phobia?

Clarkson University Professors Featured in Podcast on Small Wind Turbines
Two Clarkson University faculty members were recently featured in a podcast on small wind turbines.
Mechanical & Aeronautical Engineering Professor Pier Marzocca and Civil & Environmental Engineering Professor Kerop D. Janoyan were part of a seven-person expert panel, which discussed small wind turbine technology and its future.
The manufacture and installation of small wind turbines is advancing quickly to keep pace with the growing demand for new forms of renewable energy in today's global markets.
In an effort to provide new perspectives, Intertek, a leading provider of quality and safety solutions serving a wide range of industries around the world, presented a roundtable podcast with industry experts on how the research, testing and certification of small wind turbines is impacting the industry, globally.
The podcast is available at http://www.intertek.com/wind/small/roundtable-podcast .
Marzocca studies the interaction of aerodynamics and thermal load, their effects on advanced composite structures, and how the next generation of composite materials structures can be better engineered, if the physics of these fields is properly modeled.
He also designs and tests high performance composite wind turbine blade technologies for the small wind industry, studies their reliability, and develops associated structural health monitoring systems, as well as active and passive flow control technologies.
He received his Ph.D. degree in aeronautical and aerospace engineering from Polytechnic University of Turin in Italy.
Janoyan's research and development expertise covers a broad range of interrelated topics with a strong focus on aspects of intelligent structural systems, in-service system health monitoring, prognostics and condition-based monitoring and maintenance.
He has an extensive history of participation in various academic and joint industrial projects tailored toward development and application of advanced sensing technologies for infrastructure, energy, industrial, and environmental systems.
He received his B.S., M.S., Engineer, and Ph.D. degrees in civil engineering from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and is a Registered Professional Engineer (P.E.) in California.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

It is my opinion, nay to my mind it is Il de111onst1·:1tt·1l fact, that the cause of all this is :1 want of gc- nuine conversion to GO(l,-·1`Og_`0I]€l'3Bl0ll. ' A large portion of mankind are nnturqilly in- clined to be religious. They hear the "s1iil small voice" of God—"the grace ot God, that bringeth Sal\'Htl()ll"—-·Sl)C1il(l}ig' to their souls. They feel that they should "ti_11·sz1l;e ungodli— ness and worldly lusts, and live sobcrly, right- `eously and godly in this present lif`e". Hut the `ehurehes are not converted, there is none ot` the divine and holy influence around them whi1;·h zi converted church sheds all around.

Preachers and other church ofiicers are, as a rule, I believe, (oft course there are exceptions) in this unconverted condition, and cannot direct; the multitude into the haven of rest. They i are blind leaders of the blind. They no doubt mean well in the beginning, but as they are un- converted the best they can do under these cir- cumstances is to keep up a form of godliness without any vital power connected with it; i The contentions which their small differences give them keep up _s0me excitement between them, and forwant of something better they keep it up, tliinkingit is spiritual life.

I know some people aren't loving this shot... but I am *swoon*
Thanks Thinking of Rob
- Lorabell
Im so in love with that photo. It's so powerful and meaningful!! I love the way they're both looking at each other. I hope she changes he hair for breaking dawn into brown it should be longer by then and then she could have extensions?
Also, she used to have black hair remember last year at comic con? she had black hair then as well, we shouldnt worry. Kristen is a smart girl and she likes her hair brown i think. just seems like she's comfortable with it. Also she had black hair in a teenvogue cover in the summer last year i think it was. Anyways you know what i mean!
I totally love this picture.....what is there not to love?! It's Edward & Bella! :)ReplyDelete
This is so much better than the magazine scan. He doesn't have maybelline lips after all.. phew .. lol :) Just beautiful! So intense and lovely. Damn i can't wait until november!!ReplyDelete
I love it, I honestly think it is my favorite NM still so far.ReplyDelete
Does anyone know what scene this is from? I thought maybe the proposal because he has the jacket on. But he doesn't have the black ring under his eyes. Any ideas?ReplyDelete
@Heather: I'm thinking it's as he's explaining why he's not staying the night for the first time ever... just before he leaves *tear*
- Lorabell
That's what I was thinking Lorabell and it looks like he's wearing the jacket from the party still.
This one is MUCH better, his eyes look way more golden and his lip makeup is a lot less obvious.
Aw I love this pic. I think it's after Italy though where Edward is trying to convince Bella that he's really there and he's sorry and has always loved her. The look on their faces is beautiful :) xReplyDelete
What is there not to love? I think this may be my favorite New Moon still, yet!ReplyDelete
Oh I don't know maybe I'm wrong. i just watched the first trailer again and I can't work out the order because when Edward tells Bella 'This is the last time you'll ever see me' he's still wearing the suit he had on at Bella's party. And it looks like that's what he's wearing in this pic. Hmmm it's a mystery!! :P xReplyDelete
LOVE this pic!!! The stills that are coming out keep getting better and better. OMG, I can't wait for the movie to be released.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
This picture is lovely :)
Does anyone know where I can buy it? I'm totally in love with it..
I want more Jacob. The End.
*Team Jacob for life homes* haha
I LOVE IT!!! *thud*ReplyDelete
oh god. i love this still. their looks are just, agh, so deep! i loveeeeeeeeeeee it!ReplyDelete
@Steffy: The bedding was originally from Target but sold out - you can sometimes find it on Ebay but for around $300+! I'm hoping Target wise up and reissue it *fingers crossed*
- Lorabell
They both look amazing!Their chemistry is there full force!And their love,of course,lol!ReplyDelete
Oh wow, this is sooo great. Their expressions are so meaningful and romantic, this is gonna be better than the first movie. I'm begging for more Jacob stills though, can't get enough of him :D.ReplyDelete
Random observations:
At the birthday party, Bella's dress is green, she has a headband on, and Edward's suit jacket is dark grey. In this pic, Bella's outfit is not green, her hair is pulled back, and Edward's suit jacket is dark navy.
In the book, Edward tells Bella he's leaving a few days after the birthday party, but in the trailer, he definitely has the same outfit on that he wore at the birthday party; however, she definitely does not have the party dress on.
In the book, after they are free to leave Volterra, Alice buys Edward some new clothes to change into. So I think this pic is after they get back from Italy and Edward is trying to convince Bella that she's not dreaming, he's really there, and he loves her.
The bottom line . . . can't wait for November!
But it can't be after the party, she doesn't have a cast on, and Peter's said that scene is in there.ReplyDelete
IF YOU EXPAND IT, HIS EYES. EDWARDS EYES <3 I DIED. AHHHHHH. HOLY.ReplyDelete
OMG...I forgot to breathe !!!!!ReplyDelete
@Anonymous 11:58am Carlisle doesn't put a cast on Bella's arm after the party, only a dressing :) xReplyDelete
Maybe Edward is like his portrayer and only has two or three outfits that he recycles constantly? ;-)
I think this is post Italy as well - he doesn't look distant like he supposed to when he's thinking of leaving her.
This is a lovely picture of Edward and Bella!
this pic rocks my world...seriously, they look so beautiful and there's just something so private about this picture!! can't wait for november!!
..and those eyes!! L.O.V.E them!! ...golden eyes *sigh*
i remember seeing the purple bed linen set at target last spring. also, the lady who played the waitress at the carver cafe also had a blouse from Target. I had the same one - it was the lavender short tulip-sleeved blouse with white swiss dots on it (it was by mossimo).ReplyDelete
I love this picture!!! but idk when this is...hmmm i don't think it's post Italy...in the book it said something that his eyes were blac as night because he hasn't hunted in a long time or something like that. If you look his eyes are still golden...then i don't know if this is post birthday party either. Her arm isn't bandaged...sooo idk where this comes in but I LOVE IT ANYWAY!ReplyDelete
What's not to love? It's a sexy, heartbreaking image! I'm loving it!
You know what I don't love? Kristen's wig in Eclipse. :/
I think I forgot to breathe....ReplyDelete
this is soo cute! You can sense the level of their relationship in New Moon! The chemistry is definitely on!! Wonder what scene is this one!ReplyDelete
This is definitely post Italy, remember that in the trailer Edward had golden eyes in Italy, when they're supossed to be black and this is after that, when they arrive to Bella's house and he's saying her that he always loved her *tear*ReplyDelete

Whether employers should force their staff to obtain the flu vaccine is not the issue.

Let Them Eat (Bundt) Cake
Not much of a dessert guy myself, but tonight, the Toronto Blue Jays got their just desserts. Funny how it was not a shaving cream pie, or even a Carvel sundae, but it was a special Tampa Bay bundt/bunt cake that did the trick.
Who would have thought the recipe for again awakening the Rays offense would be to start off in the bottom of the 2nd inning playing " small ball". That's right, not aiming for the fences, but putting the bat on the ball and squirming it along the AstroTurf woke up not only the Rays bat, but reminded the Jays defense this team doesn't quit.
Sure Ben Zobrist did his best "2008 Zorilla " impression crushing a ball into the Rightfield bleachers for a short-lived 1-0 lead. Then after a Casey Kotchman fly out, B J Upton showed why the Rays gambled and kept him here instead of sending him away. A well crafted single to Leftfield, then well placed 9 iron shot by Matt Joyce into shallow Center put the Rays in a position to make some early noise.
With Joyce and Upton in scoring position, Sean Rodriguez dropped a beauty of a bunt just in front of Jays starter Carlos Villanueva who then proceeded to commit a costly error as Upton stamped on Home Plate. That was the first sliver of the bunt/bundt cake.
Then Rays rookie catcher Robinson Chirinos put down his own little bounding ball of short happiness for a infield single to First. Joyce came in to score, and all of a sudden it was 3-0 Rays on top. Second helping of bundt/bunt cake with a little extra dab of frosting.
All of a sudden last night's lone Rays run scorer decided to get into the action himself as rookie speedster Desmond Jennings wanted to deliver his own bit of sugary goodness by placing a perfect bunt in front of Jays Third Baseman Edwin Encarnacion who was playing back hoping for a double play ball.
Suddenly bases were loaded with Rays, another slice of bundt/bunt cake delivered. Finally Johnny Damon ended the sugar rush by delivering a long and deep sacrifice fly to Centerfield that easily scored Rodriguez to make it 4-0 Tampa Bay. All of a sudden a little bit of pre-game prep work by the Rays in bunting drills snapped their offense out of its funk.
When the Rays came up in the bottom of the 3rd inning, it seemed the Jays were still infused and decimated by the Rays bunt barrage, and possibly a little sugar shock. Villanueva, a former Jays reliever, couldn't seem to get out of his 2nd inning stride and quickly the Rays added some more morsels to their run/ sugar intake.
Of the 8 Rays hitters to go to the plate in the bottom of the 3rd inning, 4 produced extra base hits, and the Jays saw 4 more runs cross the plate. Suddenly after solo homer by Kotchman, a double by Joyce, Rodriguez getting pelted with a pitch, Chirinos decided it was time to put the cherry firmly upon the cake and delivered a 3-run shot to Leftfield that left more of a bitter taste in Villaneuva's mouth than sweet.
Ex-Rays bat boy and Jays starter Jesse Litsch came in and stopped the flow of Rays runs getting Damon to strike out swinging.
Finally the Rays had figured out a way to get out of that 1-2 run lead routine with the Jays and tack on some needed runs with the small ball, then using the long ball to seal the win. This is the type of offensive show that we have seen so often in road games, but has been few and far between at Tropicana Field.
With a win tomorrow during the Parks and Recreation Day, plus the Rays Tweet Up, the team could head into their 3-game series against the Oakland Athletics, who the Rays hope they can extract some more sweet revenge on this weekend. This is the home offense we have been anxiously awaiting. Pining to see finally break through and produce at home.
What happens during the Thursday matinée will go a long way in providing comfort and stability that this team has finally broken out of the home rut and will again dominate. A win tomorrow will put then back at square one with a 26-26 mark at home.
Tonight the Rays delivered a beauty of a game hitting on all cylinders, providing not only a huge run support cushion for Rays starter James Shields, but a solid effort with this team finally figuring out their home crux. Tonight the Rays did deliver a sliver of just desserts to the Jays, but hopefully it is only an appetizer of what is to come in the next 4 contests.
Bon Appetit Rays Republic, for tonight, let the Jays eat some humble pie.

Beckett trying to stretch himself out
Right-hander working hard, but doesn't want to rush his rehab
By Maureen Mullen / Special to MLB.com
"I think that's basically it, [getting stretched out]," Beckett said. "I don't know what they're planning on doing, but [I'm] just trying to get stretched out right now."
Beckett has been in touch with manager Terry Francona, pitching coach John Farrell, rehab coordinator/assistant trainer Mike Reinold and pitcher Jon Lester during the Sox's trip to Japan and now Los Angeles. He watched the series with the A's in Tokyo early in the morning. Beckett said that baseball and breakfast was an odd combination.
"I didn't see the first part [of the games]," he said. "I don't get up quite that early. But I usually saw from the fourth inning on. I think it was weird, actually, watching them play a baseball game that early in the morning. But talking with some of the guys, I guess it was a pretty good experience."
It hasn't been easy for the Red Sox's ace to be away from his team, watching the games on TV.
"Absolutely," Beckett said. "That's our family this time of year. And you see people, whether it be somebody struggle or see somebody do something good and you want to shake their hand, whatever, [or] you want to pick somebody up when they don't do what they wanted to do. But it is tough."
Although Beckett has had several stints on the disabled list in his career -- including last season, when he missed two starts in May after tearing the skin on his right middle finger -- he has never started a season on the DL until now, which is causing him some frustration.
"It is [frustrating], but at the same time, I know what we're trying to do. It's not my first go-round. I know it's a long season. Like I said two weeks ago, the most important thing is not my April 1 start, [and] it's not my April 10 start. I think exactly what I said [is] 'It's not my April 10 start, it's my July and August starts,'" Beckett said, emphasizing the plural "starts." "I know what we're trying to do. We're not trying to win one game here or one game there. We're trying to do bigger things than that."
While the back spasms that caused him to leave his March 8 start against the Marlins and the lower back tightness that landed him on the 15-day DL have subsided, Beckett said a back injury can worry a pitcher. He went on the DL in 2004 with a strained lower back. But it was his right hip that also caused him concern recently.
MLB.com coverage | Schedule | Ballpark | Tickets
"[The back problem] worried me just from the standpoint of I'd never felt anything like that," he said. "I tore an intercostal muscle [in 2004]. It was more frustrating than this was, because it heals when it heals. There's no way to rehab an intercostal muscle. ... But the back injury, it worries you if it's something major, but fortunately for me, it was just one of those things that you slip a little bit and your back catches. I think it was probably more of a good thing that my back caught like that. I think actually what ended up happening was it protected my hip more than anything. And now that's kind of where we're at with the rehab, because after we got the back problem to go away, my [right] hip was what was bothering me."
Beckett was 20-7 with a 3.27 ERA in 2007, the Majors' only 20-game winner and first since 2005. He said he feels he's farther along in his routine than pitch counts may indicate. He made a Minor League start for Double-A Portland on Thursday. He is scheduled to make another start Tuesday in an intrasquad game at the complex.
"Well, I threw four innings yesterday," Beckett said. "I threw 47 pitches and 33 of them were strikes. I don't think a lot of people do that in the first [Spring Training] outing. I think for me it's much more accelerated, because it's not like I came into Spring Training without throwing. I'd thrown seven or eight bullpens before Spring Training. I'd already built up to about 55 pitches. So it's not like I had to start completely over. I had the base built."
Beckett does not minimize the work he is able to do facing Minor League hitters.
"It doesn't matter," he said. "People always make a big deal out of who you're facing. But there's a lot of those guys that I faced yesterday that'll probably end up playing in the big leagues. That's kind of what happens. People that are playing at Double-A generally at least get a taste of the big leagues. So their approach may be different, but I played in Double-A one year, and I've played against a lot of guys in the big leagues that I played against in Double-A."
Told that Triple-A Pawtucket manager Ron Johnson -- for whose club Beckett made a start Saturday -- was impressed by his approach to that start and was glad the younger players could see his drive, Beckett agreed.
"I'm definitely trying to accelerate this," he said. "I want this to be more accelerated than maybe my pitch count shows. I just do the same thing on the day I pitch no matter what. I want the guys all to be behind me, whether I'm pitching for a Double-A team or pitching for an A-ball team. You want those guys behind you. You want them to want to dive for that ball in the hole or you want them to be hungry and go out and score a couple of runs in the first inning. So I think it is a good example for the young guys, because those are the guys you want to have your back."
Although he is eligible to come off the DL on April 3, which is the team's off-day between series in Oakland and Toronto, Beckett is not yet sure of a schedule.
"We're going day-to-day still," Beckett said. "Like I said, the most important thing is not my April 4 start or [April] 3 start. It's later on. So if I need to go to Pawtucket or go to Greenville or whatever to have one more start, we're going to do what's best for the club and what's best for me later on down the road."

text: Fighting Irish now 0-5! Nice to know they're getting their $50 million's worth of performance from Weis. Funny that they could be winning with players Willingham recruited, but can't do squat with players Weis gets. Weis is an offensive guru, but his team hasn't scored 20pts yet. Meanwhile they give up 33 a game. As a PAC-10 fan, I'm enjoying every loss ND racks up. Serves them right for firing Willingham after one bad season and then jumping the gun for Weis (10yr/$50 million) winning with Willingham's guys. Hope UCLA clobbers them next week. Go PAC-10!

that's just your perception and i think it's a little silly to state so unequivocally given the direction the league is headed.
he guards fours and fours guard him. he used to guard threes but now he doesn't, and he's never been better. in 2012-2013, he is a power forward.
Landry Fields is a SF. There really is no argument here.
You can make the same argument for Durant, but he is a small forward. It's just what it is. Durant plays spot minutes at the 4, but he is a small forward. Durant can play at the four, he could likely play at the 4, etc, etc, etc. It's just his natural position.

i love amir johnson's game...he definitely is under-appreciated..i do think he slips in the top 15 power forwards...but easily top three in energy...and u dont have to be a raptors fan to know that...amir johnson is a pest for other teams...he sets screens well, he is a great rebounder, he even developed a shot...what will take amir to the next level is if he works on his post moves, perfect his jumper and foul less...when he is on the court he does create problems for other teams..the problem is he needs to become smarter with fouling...i will never hate aggressive d...but there are times where he should use his i.q to stay in the game...n e ways im happy he is our team. go raps!
Amir Johnson: 4 questions, 4 answers.
1) Is he a top 15 PF? I say no.
2) Is he the raptors most talented player? Again I say no.
3) Should he be the captain of the Raptors? I say yes.
4) Can a team win the conference finals with Amir as their starting PF or Center, I say yes.
Questions 4 is more important than question 1&2.
Amir is turning out to be a big plus defensively, and has developed a really effective offensive game, for the first time this season he's shown the he has the ability of nice big to big passes. He's still really young and hasn't hit his ceiling, although he may be getting very close. The more I see of him, the more I think it'll be harder to get someone who is more effective to start in front of him.
I think Amir and JV could be a scary frontcourt to deal with, both defensively AND offensively, even though both don't need a lot of offensive touches to be effective.
Even if we don't get anything more out of Gay, Derozan, or Amir, if Lowry plays a little better, and JV improves incrementally, this team could be looking at a 5th-6th seed. And that's assuming bargs can't be traded and has to come in off the bench (or he starts games but Amir+JV Finishes them). Unless there's trade that blows the team up, or some really serious injuries I can't see the raps NOT making the playoffs next year.

Fields is a SF
I've been saying all along that we should keep Amir and trade Davis. Glad it worked out that way.
But Amir isn't the offensive threat we need in the low post. I'd like to see someone down there with enough offensive skill to draw double-teams on every possession (i.e. the way Bosh used to). If Jonas can turn into that player, then I have no problem starting Amir. If not, Amir is the perfect "first big off the bench".
But whether Amir's starting or not, he deserves ~30mpg.
Amir would be an above average backup PF / 3rd big. However, I think he'a a borderline starter at best.
The biggest problem for me is that he's not nearly the scoring threat that the true star PFs are. He gets a few P&R baskets, a few garbage baskets and will hit a few jump shots, but he's not enough of a scorer to demand double-teams and isn't a good enough all-around player to run the offense through (the way the Raps used to run it through Bosh). Basically, despite some impressive advanced stats, he doesn't really do anything to open the floor up for Gay, DeRozan and Lowry.
I would like a traditional low-post PF who will make the entire team's offense better, allowing Amir to feast on the opposition's 2nd unit as the team's 3rd big.

Pretty much agree with everything said on here. Amir is a solid starting PF, but I would love him as the #1 big off the bench getting around 30 mins a game.
Raps primary needs heading into the offseason are a low-post threat and an upgrade in 3pt shooting, IMO
apparently the Raps are interested in Carl Landry (realgm.com)
thoughts?The Toronto Raptors are expected to pursue Carl Landry this offseason if he opts out of his contract with the Golden State Warriors, according to a source.
I would say Amir is the top backup big in the NBA
- Landry in GS.
- Kanter/Favors in Utah.
- Collison in OKC.
There are a couple more, but can't run off the top of my head. That definitely is a bold statement, but he is definitely right up there, or in the running for it, if not THE best backup big in the league.
His production and improvement seems to justify it though.
Twitter: @ReubenJRD NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
Amir is a warrior plain and simple. What I find really amazing is that he seems to have stepped his game up since Jose's departure though I don't have any stats to back that up. Amir is one of the players I would have thought would suffer the most with Jose gone.
your pal,
Perhaps another angle we can take is how much you'd be willing to pay Amir Johnson. For a guy making $6M per year, all is fine and dandy because you can ignore some of his shortcomings because he's such a bargain. However, if his agent thinks his client is a top 15 PF, then he'd demand a competitive salary. He'd be asking for around what Bargnani is earning, which is around $11M next year. That's nearly double of what Amir is making and not something I'd be willing to pay.
He seems like a good hustle player that you'd want to keep around, but the question is how much do you pay for a guy that based on this thread so far, you're not sure whether or not he should be a starter. $11M seems like too much.
your pal,

Apple iOS Security Flaw Prompts Patch Advice
On Friday, Apple announced a significant security flaw affecting literally hundreds of millions of iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches running iOS 7, the latest version of the company's mobile operating system.
Baked into the system was a flaw that allowed an attacker, under certain circumstances, to intercept and read in plain sight traffic the users thought was encrypted via Secure Socket Layer technologies. That would include email, tweets, Web browsing and, potentially, mobile banking sessions that occur within the Web browser.
Mark Bower, a vice president at Voltage Security, elaborated: "For quite some time, attackers with knowledge of this bug had the ability to mount man-in-the middle attacks to users operating Apple devices. This could have allowed interception or modification of SSL communications which are supposed to be private and encrypted."
Experts appear divided as to whether this flaw also impacted traffic via apps, such as mobile banking apps.
On Friday, Apple issued a patch that it said fixed the problem on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.
However, the company also indicated that a related flaw exists in its OS 10 operating system for desktop and laptop computers. No patch has been issued so far, although Apple has indicated that one is imminent.
Note, too, the SSL attack can occur only when the hacker has control over a WiFi network (typically a public network) or has erected a rogue cellular network (technically doable but sophisticated and rare). This requires significant skill on the part of the attacker, said experts.
Users who never access public WiFi probably have nothing to fear, said most experts.
Experts also, unanimously in this reporter's poll, urged Apple mobile device owners to download the security patches as soon as possible.
Experts also suggested that financial institutions such as credit unions alert their members who use Apple devices to the need to download the patch, which is free.

Deadhouse Gates: Book Two of The Malazan Book of the Fallen
by Steven Erikson
Review by Steve Sawicki
Tor Books Paperback ISBN/ITEM#: 0765314290
Date: 01 February, 2005 List Price $14.95 Amazon US / Amazon UK / Show Official Info /
But this is the way Erikson writes. Nothing is simple, not characters, not places not the religions and certainly not the politics, which often involves gods, either directly or indirectly. The motives of everyone is suspect and in the middle of it all are the bridgeburners, a small military force that's somehow survived against a number of attempts to kill them all off and is not stuck with the Malazan army running ahead of pursuing forces and once again, in danger of being taken off the map.
All of the characters in the first book are present here with the addition of a couple of new ones and the introduction of a couple of new story lines, not that they were needed in what is an incredibly complex story to begin with. Even with the complexity and with the fact that this book weighs in at over 600 pages, the pacing is fairly frantic at times. It's hard to imagine such a big book being a quick read but it is--assuming you can keep everyone straight in your head. The cast of characters here is very large and while most are different enough to set them apart I did struggle here and there trying to remember what some of the individual character story lines were. Part of this is the way that Erikson tells the tale, moving here and moving there and sometimes going hundreds of pages before returning to a character or set of characters and continuing on with their story.
This is definitely a must read for anyone interested in epic, sweeping fantasies with strong characters, strong plotting and interesting ideas.

Victoria College to host conference for dental professionals
Aug. 4, 2012 at 3:04 a.m.
Victoria College will host the Crossroads Area Dental Conference from 7:45 a.m. to 3:20 p.m. Friday in the college's Health Sciences Center, Room 131.
Tuesday is the deadline to register for the conference.
Sponsored by the college's Workforce and Continuing Education and the Guadalupe Valley District Dental Society, this conference is for dentists, hygienists, assistants and others who may be interested in dental health and local dental health issues.
Conference topics will address clinical issues specific to dental offices.
Lisa Heinrich-Null will begin with a presentation on "Working Smarter in the Dental Office."
"Lisa is an experienced dentist who will offer tips and techniques for accomplishing routine dental office tasks with efficiency and economy to help increase productivity," said Marilyn Powell, coordinator of Allied Health Workforce and Continuing Education at Victoria College.
Col. Craig Willard, of Fort Sam Houston Dental Activities, will help professionals increase their skills in identifying key symptoms of at least three forms of oral/maxillary/facial pathology.
Jose Villa, from Brooks Army Medical Center's Department of Cardiology, will address the need for dental providers to check their patient's blood pressure manually and detect cardiac arrhythmias.
"In order to help increase detection skills and provide practice in identifying arrhythmias, we are planning hands-on activities for conference participants using equipment in VC's state-of-the-art nursing labs," said Powell.
Villa will also lead a discussion on how health changes in the elderly impact dental care.

Microchip Announces New 8-Bit MCU Family at EE Live! 2014
Microchip has just announced a new PIC16(L)F170X/171X family of 8-bit CPUs. In fact there are 22 new members of this family: 11 PIC16F170X/171X devices support 5V down to 2.3V, and 11 PIC16LF170X/171X devices support 3.6V down to 1.8V.
The new devices, which are described as "cost-effective, intelligent analog 8-bit MCUs" offer an easy migration from Microchip's popular PIC16(L)F150X/151X MCUs:
The integration of intelligent analog capabilities reduces system BOM cost and board real estate. These devices boast two internal op-amps for signal amplification and conditioning, a 10-bit ADC (that can be fed from multiple analog input channels), 5-bit and 8-bit DACs, high-speed comparators, and a zero cross detect (ZCD) input that can monitor 120V or 220V AC supplies and be used to initiate actions when the supply is crossing the zero-volt value.
Also of interest are three core-independent peripherals that can handle tasks on their own without code or CPU supervision, and which can therefore continue to function even when the CPU is in a low-power sleep mode. The first type of core-independent peripheral is a number of configurable logic cells (CLCs), which can be used to implement primitive logic functions and registers. By combining several CLCs, it's possible to implement a simple state machine.
The second core-independent peripheral is a complementary output generator (COG) that can be used to generate complementary waveforms with blanking/phase control.
The third core-independent peripheral is a numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) that provides precision frequency control with a resolution of 15 Hz.
Another "first" for PIC16 MCUs is support for Microchip's Peripheral Pin Select (PPS), which means any digital peripheral can be mapped to any I/O pin. This provides layout flexibility and allows the routing of PCB traces to minimize EMC effects.
The new family also offers a wide range of package types, pin counts, memory sizes, and features, including 14-, 2-, 28-, and 40/44-pin packages; 3.5 kB to 28 kB Flash; and 156 B to 2 kB RAM. As usual, Microchip continues to offer a wide range of packaging styles, including DIP, SOIC, SSOP, QFN, and TQFP.
The versatile functionality of the PIC16(L)F170X/171X family of 8-bit CPUs -- coupled with their eXtreme Low Power (XLP) features of 35nA sleep current and 30µA/MHz active current -- allows them to address a broad range of applications, including consumer (e.g., smoke detectors, electric razors, battery chargers, power drills, home appliances), medical (e.g., pulse oximeters, wearable exercise monitors, glucose meters, blood-pressure meters), and lighting control (e.g., indoor/outdoor, automotive lighting, portable lighting, specialty lighting).

So I am helping out a friend of a friend.. crappy Samsung Netbook, getting boot error with windows.
I had a larger spare drive, so I swapped it out, and proceeded to do a fresh install of the OS.
I plugged the "dead" drive into my main PC, and after a bit of time, I could see the files, so I started to copy off the clients docs, pics, etc.. The progress eventually stopped, and then any attempt to access the drive would lock Windows Explorer hard.. reboot, manual scandisk /f, after about an hour it froze.. Installing same drive in linux box, it was unable to mount it.
Any ideas? Other software to try?
My client (a very nice girl btw ), had some files backed up, but of course, not all the files, so I'd love to be able to save as much as possible.

Rush: Carney links taxes, shooting
Rush Limbaugh said Monday that an "over-the-top-shameless" White House press secretary Jay Carney was politicizing the Newtown, Conn., elementary school shooting to raise taxes on the rich.
Speaking to reporters from the White House on Monday, Carney said that President Barack Obama's insistence to raise taxes on the wealthiest of 2 percent of Americans was an important revenue stream so as not to put burden on "senior citizens or on middle class Americans or on parents with disabled children."
Story Continued Below
The conservative commentator's take?
"This is just over-the-top-shameless," he said on his radio program Monday, according to a show transcript. "Let me spell it out for you, what Jay Carney said: If we don't raise taxes on the rich, a lot — if we don't really raise rates on the rich — then we're gonna have more and more Adam Lanzas, because we're gonna be putting a tax burden on middle-class families with disabled children."
Authorities believe Adam Lanza, 20, was the gunman in the shooting that left 26 people — twenty of them children — dead Friday in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. There have been reports that Lanza might have had psychological problems.
Limbaugh continued: "Now, to this day, at this point — December 17th — 'disabled children' means 'Adam Lanza.' It means 'Newtown, Connecticut.'"

John 5:3 In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, "Do you want to be made well?"
The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me."
Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed and walk." 9 And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked.
This man laid by this pool for 38 years waiting for someone to "put him in the water" 38 opportunities to be healed. It seems like in 38 years he would be able to figure out a way, or practice before the year is out... Scoot very close something... But no, he was waiting on someone to "Put him in" the water.
Jesus comes and hears his excuse and asked him. "Do YOU WANT to be healed?" I seems like a crazy question I mean 38 years... Duh... Of course he wants to be healed. Or did he just like the attention he received from sympathy? Was he lacking the ability the think for himself?
I've asked myself the same questions. There's no secret that we've been given plenty of opportunities to win the MOST important tag team championships in the WORLD. The real question is do we REALLY want it?
Jesus simply told this man to "GET UP"
This opportunity is on us. No excuses ... We/I've set by the pool for too long. It's time to GET UP! No, its OVERTIME to GET UP!

Billabong Rio Pro Betting Odds And Event Preview
While we could go on and tell you who we think is going to win event #3 of the 2013 ASP World Championship Tour; the Billabong Rio Pro, it's best to listen to the folks who have a vested financial interest in the event--bookies. You know, those shady dudes who roughed up your uncle when he couldn't make good on his horse racing debts.
There aren't any major surprises here, Kelly is at the top of the list with a five to one shot at winning, and Kieren Perrow, Glenn Hall, and Kai Otton are major underdogs at 201 to 1 to win. So if you bet $1 on KP, Micro, and Ottz to win you'd rake in over two bills. But it ain't gonna happen, not at a Brazilian beachbreak.
Who's conspicuously missing from the list? Defending Billabong Rio Pro champion John John Florence who's rehabbing from an ankle injury yet expected to be back for the upcoming Volcom Fiji Pro. Also missing is Yadin Nicol who took John's spot. It's a tough task to come off the bench and up to bat against the world's best, but Yadin could do some damage if it becomes an air show.
What: 2013 Billabong Rio Pro, event #3 on the 2013 ASP World Championships Tour
When: May 8-19, 2013
Where: Barra Da Tijuca, Brazil
Who: The ASP WCT top 34
The Wave: Barra Da Tijuca is predominantly a left, but a short, rampy right can be on offer as well. The wave is tailor made for high performance surfing, and while it can be a bit mushy at times, when the conditions come together there are small tube sections. Look out for the Brazilians in this event, every year it seems like one of them finishes near the top.

All of these boards' PCI domain starts from 0x18.0. Take h8scm as an example, PCI devices from 0.0 to 0x14.5 is under 0x18.0. Now, the PCI domain's scan bus function stats from 0.0. This would result to the PCI devices be scanned twice. Because when the function run to device 18.0, it would scan from 0.0 again. This issue would result to 2 problems: 1) PCI device may be assigned two different PCI address. If this happenned on VGA device, coreboot maybe not load vga bios correctly. 2) coreboot initializes rd890's IO APIC twice. So this patch scans from 0x18.0 and could resolve the problems above.

MPs label police IT 'not fit for purpose'
Bit of a typo there. Someone added "IT" by accident.
<-- Proper copper.
The Home Affairs select committee has branded police service IT as "not fit for purpose" and claimed it is damaging the police force's ability to prevent crime and disorder. In a report titled New Landscape of Policing, the committee calls on the Home Office to revolutionise police IT as a top priority. It says IT is the one …
Bit of a typo there. Someone added "IT" by accident.
<-- Proper copper.
The words "label" and "police" might also been seen to be unnecessary.
Maybe 'label' was a typo for 'and'?
Bit of a stretch, but given the general competence it's possible.
... in both costs and manpower given the volume of video data they're supposedly collecting and sitting on at Hendon. Perhaps they are just sitting on it for now though, without the ability to actively use it in regular investigations in which case "not fit for purpose" might be read as "not netting the low hanging fruit"?
Perhaps the big problem is that we are still using very old systems, like (shock horror!) Lotus Notes 6.0.
Which is not helped by the IT departments and bosses who are very technophobic, such as using Excel often used to make important databases, rather a proper databases.
AC - I could be fired if I showed an opinion.
... ven beat vemselves on their bleedin' dual-heads wif fone books!
What we need to do is develop a national IT program for the police force to sit proudly alongside our NHS one.
That was exactly my comment. Just replace NPfIT with "IT police company" and you have a disaster all over again.
"What we need to do is develop a national IT program for the police force to sit proudly alongside our NHS one."
Show them what *real* pain feels like.
£1.2Bn/yr. That's at least *tenfold* too low for a start.
> the 43 forces in England and Wales use a multiplicity of different IT systems
Sounds like they need to take a leaf out of the NHS book and centralise and consolidate all their computer systems. That way they will get the benefits of a single, standard system and reduce the cost .... sorry. I can't go on, I'm laughing too much.
Government IT that *is* fit for purpose.
That's news?!
"police currently spend £1.2bn on IT each year, and this did not represent good value for money"
I wonder how much of that figure was spent by SouthWest One on their project?
"In February the agency reported that it would exceed the £25m target set by the Home Office and deliver savings of nearly £30m."
SouthWest One were promising some savings in that range - none of which have ever been seen.
AC because they really don't like people highlighting what a piss poor job has been done on that project - and I'm up for an interview shortly
What? 43 forces working in isolation "locally" is not efficient?
Not to be too much of a pun... No shit Sherlock!
Now isn't "localism" the future of NHS IT? Shurley Shome Mishtake...
Obviously a government quango would know all about this kind of thing... after all, successive governments have proved beyond doubt that they have a clear understanding of IT, and have managed to implement many large-scale systems on time, within budget and up to spec.
The public sector: putting the IT back into shit since time immemorial.
The government will probably see this as a good excuse to buy them all ipads.
It took the politicians eons to suss what weve known for a long time,
Their lack of efficiency beggars belief - once my wife tried to report a hit & run accident but the computer was down. OK wheres the map? she asked but they diddnt have a map, something I find hard to believe & what followed turned into a 50 mile wild goose chase to be fobbed off & re-directed to report the incident at another station, then redirected from there to another.
Time is long overdue that the ivory towers these muppets perch in, were felled.
iPlods, surely
Old street cop bouncing down the street with a coffee in hand: Y-----M----C----A
If we are talking pork barrels, then it should not be YMCA.
Instead lets try
Ayyy Ceeee Peee Ooooohhhh
Let's hire Accenture and EDS/HP, give them a big bag of taxpayer's money and watch them piss it away.
Sounds like the civil servants are at it again.
Remember it was the civil service who wanted a single and impossibly large IT system for the whole of the NHS and they convinced the previous government that it was a good idea and that it should be implemented.
This report smells as if they are now trying to convince MPs that exactly the same is true of the police.
Several years ago, I was interviewed by Scotland Yard, and was told that they thought I might get bored so they gave it to the second best candidate.
Three months ago, while sitting outside an amphitheatre in France, I had a telephone interview with a guy in a Northern force who could only be described as quite brilliant. Alas, even though I was happy to cut my rate to as low as I could go, and commute up there out of my own pocket, they couldn't offer the job, as I'd be earning more than the Chief Constable, and as such it was politically unacceptable to pay a guy that much money. Their next move was to send it off to HR, and they'd attempt to find someone cheaper, which they won't be able to do, so they'll end up Tendering, and a big consultancy will win it, thus crippling his ability to do good work, cheaply.
It's no wonder there's problems. HR really haven't got a clue.
SOCA was formed and SERCO, Fujitsu and CAPITA were all told to work nicely together as they moved 3 seperate parts to one site......I left less than 3 months after as none of them would investigate any problems claiming it was the other ones PC's/ cables/ switches at fault.
Police IT would work better if the police took it back in-house and trained their own staff, the cost of keeping contract staff DV cleared alone must be £30million per year
Politicians telling someone else they're not fit for purpose! In the words of the great Edmund Blackadder, I'm glad I'm wearing my corset, otherwise I'm sure my sides would have split with the laughter!
That's 2.5%.
At this rate the deficit will be lceared in no time.
The advantage of haveing 42 different police forces using 42 different combinations of IT systems is that you have competition, and you can sustain a market for those systems. The cost of an individual system failure is low, and it can be replaced by a better one from the experiances gained by other forces, or they can take a risk and do different. Change and Innovation can be distributed, and best practice evolve at a reasonable pace.
Go to a national procurement and you'll hve your systems supplied by one of the big SIs using Microsoft, Oracle or SAP and a few niche players. System selection will be low risk, change and innovation will be centrally driven, and complex. Large COTS implementations will not be able to evolve quickly, or at all depending on the whim of the vendor. The cost of changing direction or failure will be huge.
We need national warehouse systems and coordination, but not for everything. Locally we need the flexibility to focus on areas of local import. By locally I mean not only individual forces, but also the specialised national units.
Wholly national police systems would be a victory for criminals because they will be able to evolve faster than any national system, the beuracracy needed to run national IT in government is unbelievable.
This is the usual politicians making statements that seem great to people who know nothing of the reality. Daily Mail readers.

Josh Gordon #13 of the Cleveland Browns in action against the Oakland Raiders at O.co Coliseum on December 2, 2012 in Oakland, California.
BEREA, Ohio - Josh Gordon took care of his outstanding traffic tickets in court this week.
Unfortunately for the Browns, he's still paying the price for breaking some NFL rules.
Cleveland's offense will be missing its top wide receiver again this week when the Browns play at Baltimore against a Ravens team that has had more than a week to recover from an embarrassing season-opening loss to Peyton Manning and Denver. Gordon will sit out as he serves the second game of his two-game suspension for violating the league's policy on substance abuse.
Last Sunday, the Browns didn't have Gordon and lost their season opener, 23-10 to Miami. Without Gordon, Cleveland lacked a legitimate deep threat and the Dolphins defense didn't have to worry about much more than getting after quarterback Brandon Weeden, who was sacked six times and hit 16 -- more than any other quarterback in Week 1.
The Browns had insisted they could survive without Gordon. It proved to be harder than they imagined.
"Well, he changes the way you play us as an offense, just coverage-wise, protection-wise, stuff like that," Weeden said Wednesday. "When he's out there, he offers a bigger-body guy that can do some things, so they have to change the way they play."
Gordon's absence allowed the Dolphins to stack defenders near the line of scrimmage and slow Cleveland's rushing game. Running back Trent Richardson carried the ball 13 times for 47 yards, but gained just 21 after the Browns' first drive, which ended with Weeden being intercepted at Miami's 1-yard line.
Gordon simply makes the Browns better by being on the field. Period. The 6-foot-4, 225-pounder is a physical force who is big enough to outmuscle linebackers and can outrun cornerbacks. Cleveland is just not the same team without No. 12.
"We knew the value that Josh has to the team, but I do see the other guys having the ability to step up," Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said. "They'll have to continue to do that. This week will be a big test for them."
Earlier this week, Gordon and wide receiver Greg Little pleaded no contest to separate traffic offenses. The 22-year-old Gordon had been ticketed twice for speeding, once for going 98 mph. He paid $296 in fines and court costs.
During his suspension, Gordon is allowed to attend meetings and work out in the team's facility. The only place he's not allowed to go is on the field, and that's where the Browns need him most.
In the meantime, the team's other primary wide receivers -- Little, Davone Bess and Travis Benjamin -- need to step up along with tight end Jordan Cameron, who had career-highs with nine catches for 108 yards against the Dolphins.
Weeden said he's confident he's got enough playmakers to offset Gordon's absence for another week.
Really, he's got no other choice.
"I thought our guys played well," said Weeden, who passed for 289 yards but threw three interceptions, two on balls that went off receivers' hands. "I thought our receivers played well as a unit, we just weren't able to get anything rolling, especially on third down.
"It's a big part of this league."
The Browns were just 1 of 14 on third-down, an awful statistic that can be partially attributed to not having Gordon as an option. Weeden said the best way to improve Cleveland's percentage on third-down is to have more positive plays on first and second downs.
"It's staying out of third and long, that's as simple as it gets," he said. "You put yourself in better position on first and second down and give yourself a better chance."
Gordon would make a difference, and another issue last week was the Browns' inability to get Richardson more involved. He caught two passes for 30 yards, but the second-year back wasn't the expected workhorse as the Browns seemed to abandon the run early.
When Gordon does return for the Sept. 22 game at Minnesota, Weeden will have several targets. Gordon's arrival will open space for Jordan and vice versa.
"Those two guys are guys we're going to count on throughout the entire year," Weeden said. "They're guys that are big-play guys, matchup problems on any defense. They're guys we're going to look to make plays for us multiple times. So when we get Josh back, yeah it will be good. We have one more week without him so it's going to be to the grindstone, do what we have to do, and keep working.
"Keep getting better and we'll get there."
NOTES: WR/PR Travis Benjamin was limited in practice with a thigh injury. ... Safety T.J. Ward (shoulder), DE Ahtyba Rubin (calf) and RG Shawn Lauvao (ankle) were kept out of practice. Lauvao said he's been out of a walking boot for about a week. ... Chudzinski said he's keeping RB Bobby Rainey as his kickoff returner. "We'll stick with Rainey," Chudzinski said. "We do have some other guys and other options. We have some flexibility there." Rainey returned four kicks -- all out of the end zone -- last week and averaged 25.8 yards per return, but only took one past the 20.
