Browns add DE Garrett (knee) to injury report
The Cleveland Browns added star defensive end Myles Garrett to the injury report on Thursday.
Garrett was listed as a limited practice participant due to a knee injury. There was no word on the severity of the ailment.
Garrett, 23, was added to the report after the team's Thursday practice. Browns coach Freddie Kitchens made no mention of Garrett having a knee injury when he met with reporters following practice.
Garrett has nine sacks, tied with Tampa Bay's Shaquil Barrett for the NFL lead. The third-year pro has 29.5 career sacks in just 33 games.
Safety Damarious Randall (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day for the Browns (2-4), who play the New England Patriots (7-0) on Sunday.
Cleveland quarterback Baker Mayfield (hip) was a full participant for the second straight practice.

NFL notebook: Wentz signs extension through 2024
The Philadelphia Eagles locked up franchise quarterback Carson Wentz on Thursday, with the sides agreeing to terms on a four-year contract extension through the 2024 season.
ESPN reports the extension is worth $128 million, with a max value of $144 million and a record of more than $107 million guaranteed. Combined with the final two years of his rookie deal — including $4.1 million in 2019 and $22.8 million in 2020 — Wentz's contract is worth $154 million, with a max value of $170 million, over six years.
Wentz, the second overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, has passed for 10,152 yards, 70 touchdowns and 28 interceptions in 40 career games. He finished third in MVP balloting in 2017, when he passed for a franchise-record 33 touchdowns in 13 games before tearing the ACL in his left knee. Backup Nick Foles directed the Eagles through the playoffs and to a Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots.
Wentz, 26, returned from the injury to play in 11 games last season and passed for 3,074 yards and 21 touchdowns against seven interceptions. He missed the final three regular-season games and both playoff contests with a back injury but is healthy and participating in OTAs.
–New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady clarified to reporters that his attempt to trademark the nickname "Tom Terrific" was not done with the intent to use the moniker but rather to stop its use.
Brady, who filed to trademark the term last month, has drawn heavy criticism from New York Mets fans, as longtime Mets pitcher Tom Seaver earned the nickname "Tom Terrific" during his time with the Mets from 1967 to 1977. Brady said Thursday he regrets filing the trademark, adding he did so only so nobody else could.
"It's unfortunate," Brady said.
"I was actually trying to do something because I didn't like the nickname, and I wanted to make sure no one used it, because some people wanted to use it. I was trying to keep people from using it, and then it got spun around to something different than what it is. Good lesson learned, and I'll try to do things a little different in the future."
–Wide receiver Jermaine Kearse joined the Detroit Lions and reunited with offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell.
The one-year deal reportedly is worth $2.3 million, according to multiple reports.
Kearse, 29, played for Bevell with the Seattle Seahawks but played most recently for the New York Jets. He caught 37 passes for 371 yards and a touchdown last season.
–The Arizona Cardinals claimed offensive tackle Desmond Harrison off the waiver wire.
The Cardinals had the first claim for the 25-year-old lineman, who was waived by the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday after he missed the first day of minicamp.
Head coach Freddie Kitchens told reporters Harrison missed a flight and was "a little late." He added that the team "just decided to move on."
–New England Patriots long-snapper Joe Cardona was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in the Navy during a ceremony at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.
Cardona, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, was promoted from lieutenant junior grade. The event was held on the 75th anniversary of D-Day, and Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, whose father, Steve, coached and scouted for the Navy football team from 1956-89, was in attendance to say a few words.
"Congratulations to Lieutenant Joe Cardona on his promotion," Bill Belichick said, per ESPN. "And obviously a day to remember our World War II veterans on D-Day. The 75th anniversary, that's kind of a big one for us. I want to recognize all the things that they did."

Chiefs' Hill releases statement about child abuse probe
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill released a statement through his lawyers Thursday, a day after the district attorney's office announced it would not bring charges against him for child abuse and neglect.
"I love and support my family above anything. My son's health and happiness is my number one priority. I want to thank the Kansas City Chiefs, my attorneys, my agent and my union for supporting me through this. My focus remains on working hard to be the best person for my family and our community I can be, and the best player to help our team win," Hill said in the statement.
Kansas City District Attorney Stephen Howe on Wednesday said he believes a crime resulting in injury happened to Hill's son, but that the evidence couldn't support a charge against Hill or the child's mother.
Hill's attorneys Thursday insisted he is "innocent of any crime."
"Contrary to media reports, Tyreek cooperated with law enforcement, waived his Fifth Amendment rights, and answered questions from both law enforcement and DCF," Hill's attorneys said in the release.
Authorities had been investigating incidents — one on March 5 for child abuse and neglect, and one on March 14 for battery — at Hill's home in Overland Park, Kan. Both police reports indicated a juvenile was involved.
Hill, 25, and his fiancee, Crystal Espinal, were listed on the March 5 police report as "others involved." On the March 14 report, Espinal was listed as "others involved," with a juvenile listed as the victim.
The Kansas City Star reported previously that the couple's son suffered a broken arm in the incident. The Star also reported earlier this week that the boy was recently removed from his parents' custody, as part of a family court process called a "child in need of care" case.
Despite not being charged with a crime, Hill could be subject to discipline from the NFL.

Europe opts for three captain's picks for 2020 Ryder Cup
European Ryder Cup captain Padraig Harrington will use three wild card picks instead of four when his team defends the cup at next year's event at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin.
Nine golfers for the European squad will qualify through the point system. Four will be chosen from points accumulated exclusively in European Tour events, with the next five coming from the World list, where points are gained for starts on any tour.
Europe won the 2018 event in Paris, when captain Thomas Bjorn made four at-large selections.
"I have said on many occasions that one of the reasons for recent European success in the Ryder Cup is continuity," Harrington said via Golf Digest. "It is a theme that will be prevalent across my captaincy and I think you can see that in the overall qualification process for the 2020 team.
"Having said that, I am pleased that the (European Tour) tournament committee agreed to the change of wild card numbers. I have spoken to a number of people regarding the ninth player automatically qualifying for the team and, in my experience, a player is more comfortable when he has qualified, hence my reasoning behind this change."
The 43rd Ryder Cup will be played on the Straits Course at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wis., from Sept. 25-27, 2020. The U.S. team, led by captain Steve Stricker, will use four captain's picks.

Report: Raiders, Incognito have 'mutual interest,' but waiting
The Oakland Raiders and free agent guard Richie Incognito have "strong mutual interest" but are waiting to see if the NFL disciplines Incognito for his arrest last summer, ESPN reported Tuesday.
Per ESPN, Incognito's visit to the team is complete, and he's returning to Arizona to work out while awaiting word on possible punishment under the league's personal conduct policy.
Incognito was arrested in August during an incident at an Arizona funeral home following his father's death. He pleaded guilty last month to disorderly conduct and was sentenced to 11 months of probation and a 90-day suspended jail sentence.
The 35-year-old last played for the Buffalo Bills in 2017. He announced his retirement in April 2018 due to health reasons.
"My liver and kidneys are shutting down," Incognito told the Buffalo News at that time. "The stress is killing me. It's just about doing what's right. I just want to be in the Hall of Fame."
A four-time Pro Bowl selection, Incognito has started 150 career games with the St. Louis Rams, Miami Dolphins and Bills. He was suspended by the Dolphins in 2013 after being accused of bullying teammate Jonathan Martin, and he sat out the 2014 season.
Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said earlier this week the starting job at left guard is "wide open." Previous starter Kelechi Osemele was traded to the New York Jets this spring.

Arians: Pierre-Paul out at least 5 to 6 months
Tampa Bay Buccaneers pass rusher Jason Pierre-Paul will miss five to six months as a best-case scenario due to the broken neck he suffered in a car accident last week.
The best-case scenario was provided by coach Bruce Arians on Friday, when he met with reporters. A decision on whether Pierre-Paul will need neck surgery hasn't yet been reached.
"Very unfortunate," Arians said of the situation. "All we can do is just pray and hope for the best and hope it's one of those five- or six-month things and go from there."
Pierre-Paul was injured in the early morning hours of May 2 when he lost control of his Ferrari and it veered off the road and crashed into a concrete barrier. It was raining at the time of the accident, according to the crash report.
Pierre-Paul was not ticketed at the scene.
The loss of Pierre-Paul would be a big blow as even the best-case scenario outlined by Arians would have him missing six to 10 games. Not having him at all in 2019 is possible if the timetable worsens.
Pierre-Paul had a team-best 12.5 sacks last season, his first with the Bucs after playing eight years for the New York Giants. The 12.5 sacks tied for his second most behind the 16.5 he had for New York in 2011.
Pierre-Paul has faced adversity before as he was involved in a fireworks accident on July 4, 2015. He lost a finger and part of a second and played in just eight games in the 2015 season.
Arians is still pondering how the Buccaneers would replace Pierre-Paul.
"I don't know what the answer is yet, if he's gonna play, if he's not gonna play," Arians said. "(You) just practice with the guys you have, just like if anybody else gets hurt, on the field or off the field. You march on."

Malnati/Hurley lead as play halted at Zurich Classic
Play was suspended for the second consecutive day at the PGA's Zurich Classic in New Orleans on Friday, but not before Peter Malnati and Billy Hurley III carded rounds of 63 and 67 to take a one-stroke lead on the field at 14-under par. When the second round was suspended because of darkness, 40 groups had completed play.
Malnati and Hurley were among the many players in the field of 80 teams that played 36 holes Friday after Thursday's opening round was interrupted after the TPC of Louisiana course was deluged with 2 1/2 inches of rain.
Play was suspended at 7:36 p.m. CT Friday and will resume at 7 a.m. Saturday. Tournament officials hope the rest of the field can complete the second round by 11 a.m., when the field will be cut to the low 35 teams including ties.
"I know Billy and I both are into our conditioning and it's important, but you're not prepared to be on your feet walking for what we were today, 10 hours or more," Malnati said in a story at nola.com. "It's a long day. Playing 36 holes, the greens definitely got kind of scruffy a little bit and harder to make putts, so we're super thrilled with pretty much every shot I think we hit today."
Beginning the second round on No. 10, Malnati/Hurley coupled for birdies at Nos. 11, 13, 17, 2 and 6 to finish 5 under.
"We were just consistent and solid, and I think we had a really good plan on every shot," Malnati said. "And we executed quite well, too. Just good sold golf today. That made it a lot of fun."
Malnati is searching for his first top-10 finish of the season. Hurley, playing out of the Past Champion category, is making only his fifth start of the season, with a tie for 30th at the Valspar Championship his best showing this season.
The team of Russell Knox and Brian Stuard trails by one shot after rounds of 62 and 69. Three other teams are also at 13 under, but did not complete their second round — Scott Stallings/Trey Mullinax (through nine holes), and Rory Sabbatini/Brian Gay and Kevin Kisner/Scott Brown (both through four holes).
The two-player team event includes four-ball (best-ball) rounds (first and third rounds), and foursomes (alternate shot) in the second and final rounds.
No official world rankings are awarded for the team event, but each member of the winning team will earn 400 FedEx Cup points and a two-year winner's exemption on the PGA Tour along with entry into the Tournament of Championship and The Players Championship next year.
NOTES: In 2016, when the event was reduced to 54 holes (inclement weather), Stuard beat Byeong Hun An and Jamie Lovemark in sudden death to claim his lone PGA TOUR title. That was the last year before the event converted to a team format … Sabbatini, who finished tied for second in the 2009 event, missed the cut with Bryson DeChambeau in 2017 and John Daly in 2018 … Kisner is seeking fourth PGA Tour title and second of the season (WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play), while Brown is searching for his second Tour victory (2013 Puerto Rico Open).

Eagles QB Wentz says back still not fully healed
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz says the stress fracture in his back hasn't fully healed, but he still plans to be ready for the start of organized team activities next month.
"It's still getting there," Wentz told reporters Monday when the Eagles began their voluntary offseason program. "Some of the stuff just takes time. That's not really the main concern, it's just kind of how I feel and I feel really good with where I'm at."
Wentz, 26, was diagnosed with the injury in mid-December and missed Philadelphia's last three regular-season games and both playoff contests.
He said he is taking things "week by week" and that he has been cleared to run and throw some, but he declined to discuss specifics of his recovery.
The Eagles begin OTAs on May 21.
"That's the goal. That's the goal," Wentz said. "But there really is no timetable, no rush. But I feel good with the progression I've been on."
Wentz, who also missed the Eagles' Super Bowl run in 2017 with a torn ACL, was asked to comment on concerns about his overall durability. That is a greater concern about that entering 2019 because former backup Nick Foles is now the starter in Jacksonville.
"I get it. I get it," Wentz said. "I'm looking forward to putting those behind me. I understand it's a part of this league, it's a physical league and things happen. Some of those things are out of my control and I look forward to putting that behind me."
The No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 draft, Wentz is 23-17 through three seasons with 10,152 passing yards, 70 touchdowns and 28 interceptions.

Houston Texans tight end Ryan Griffin was arrested in Nashville, Tenn. on Friday night after allegedly punching a hotel window.
The 2019 NFL Draft is currently being held in Nashville. The Texans took tight end Kahale Warring out of San Diego State in the third round earlier Friday night.
The 29-year-old Griffin was charged with vandalism and public intoxication, according to court records, and released Saturday morning on $1,750 bond.
Griffin, who suffered a bloody left hand in the incident, faces a May 31 court date.
A former sixth-round pick, Griffin is in the final year of his contract.
He had 24 catches for 305 yards last season. In his six seasons, all with the Texans, he has 136 catches for 1,491 yards and seven scores.

Reports: RB Crowell tears Achilles, Raiders re-sign Martin
Oakland Raiders running back Isaiah Crowell suffered a torn Achilles tendon on Tuesday and is out for the season, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Wednesday.
Crowell, who signed a one-year contract valued up to $2.5 million in late March, will have surgery next week, Schefter said. He became available when the New York Jets released him after signing free agent running back Le'Veon Bell to a four-year contract.
The 26-year-old spent his first four seasons with Cleveland before signing with the Jets before the 2018 season. Last year, he gained 837 total yards and scored six touchdowns in 13 games (six starts).
The injury has prompted the Raiders to re-sign free agent RB Doug Martin, NFL Network reported Wednesday.
The Raiders had let Martin, their leading rusher last season, walk away with Crowell in the fold. Martin, 30, appeared in all 16 games (nine starts) in 2018 and had 839 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns.
The Raiders were counting on Crowell to play a prominent role following the retirement of Marshawn Lynch. Aside from Martin, their depth chart now includes rookie Josh Jacobs — the No. 24 pick in the draft from Alabama – along with Jalen Richard, DeAndre Washington and Chris Warren.

Five International Series games on the 2019 NFL schedule were assigned dates on Wednesday, including a primetime AFC West rivalry game in Mexico pitting the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers at Azteca Stadium.
The matchups for all five games, four of which are scheduled to be played in London, were announced by the NFL on Jan. 21.
The Chiefs-Chargers game is the final date on the International Series schedule, which opens Oct. 6 with the Chicago Bears and Oakland Raiders in a 1 p.m. ET game at Tottenham Stadium.
NFC South division foes are at Tottenham the following Sunday, when the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers square off in a 9:30 a.m. ET game (Oct. 13).
Play shifts to Wembley Stadium on Oct. 27 as the Cincinnati Bengals and NFC champion Los Angeles Rams meet (1 p.m. ET), and AFC South opponents — Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars — play Nov. 3 in a 9:30 a.m. ET contest.
The Rams were scheduled to play the Chiefs at Azteca Stadium last season, but that "Monday Night Football" game was moved to Los Angeles due to field conditions.
Commissioner Roger Goodell said at the Super Bowl in February that NFL officials are confident the game will be played in Mexico City this year.

QB Haskins not attending NFL draft
Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins' name was notably absent when the league listed the 23 players who will attend the NFL Draft in Nashville later this month.
Haskins has not commented on his decision to forego the festivities, but the revelation follows speculation this week that his draft stock is slipping.
Peter King wrote in Monday's "Football Morning in America" column that the former Buckeyes star "could plummet" and might be the fourth quarterback off the board after Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray of Oklahoma, Missouri's Drew Lock and Duke's Daniel Jones.
Murray, Lock and Jones will be in attendance when the draft kicks off on April 25. So will Ohio State pass rusher Nick Bosa, a potential No. 1 overall pick along with Murray.
Haskins completed 70 percent of his passes for 4,831 yards with 50 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 14 starts last season.
It's not uncommon for top players to skip the green room and attend draft parties at home with friends and family. The last two No. 1 overall selections — Baker Mayfield in 2018 and Myles Garrett in 2017 — opted not to attend the draft.

The Minnesota Vikings will be signing unrestricted free agent Sean Mannion as a backup to Kirk Cousins, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported Sunday, citing a source.
Mannion spent the first four years of his NFL career with the Rams, who moved on from Mannion in the offseason when they signed former Jacksonville Jaguars starter Blake Bortles as an experienced backup to Jared Goff.
Mannion appeared in 10 games with the Rams, with one start in 2017 — a season-ending loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Mannion, a 2015 third-round pick out of Oregon State, completed 33 of 53 passes for 258 yards, with one interception and no touchdowns, in his career with the Rams.
The Vikings let Trevor Siemian go via free agency — he signed with the Jets — and also have quarterback Kyle Sloter on their roster. Sloter, 25, has yet to appear in an NFL game.

Raiders' Gruden: Carr is 'going to be our QB'
Amid rumors and speculation that the Oakland Raiders could be looking to move on from Derek Carr, head coach Jon Gruden said Monday that Carr's status is set for 2019.
"Yeah. He's going to be our quarterback," Gruden said in an interview with NFL Network from the league meetings in Phoenix. "I'm not going to address all the rumors. I could care less about the rumors.
"He threw for 4,100 yards. Threw for almost 70 percent (completion rate) in a very dire, tough circumstance. So I've got a lot of confidence in Carr; what he can do with Antonio Brown, with Tyrell Williams, with Trent Brown coming in here to help our offensive line."
Gruden also confirmed the team will conduct private workouts with top quarterback prospects Kyler Murray of Oklahoma and Dwayne Haskins of Ohio State, as The MMQB reported earlier Monday. But he noted that those workouts are simply part of the team's due diligence.
"We're going to meet with a lot of guys at every position," Gruden said. "We're not going to look past anybody at any position. We have the fourth pick in this draft and we're going to make sure we get it right."
Unlike pre-draft visits — for which each NFL team can host up to 30 players at its facility — private workouts must be conducted on the player's campus or near his hometown. To this point, neither Murray nor Haskins has been reported to be scheduled for a visit with the Raiders.
Like Gruden, general manager Mike Mayock has been similarly supportive of Carr, but he has also been open about his responsibility to look into all avenues available to improve the team. Speculation has swirled since before the NFL Scouting Combine that the Raiders have interest in Murray, who many expect to be chosen first overall by the Arizona Cardinals.
Haskins, once considered the likely first quarterback off the board, has been connected to the Raiders and the New York Giants (picking sixth), though a recent ESPN report said the Giants are less interested in the New Jersey native than many believe.
Missouri's Drew Lock impressed at his pro day last week and has garnered some top-10 buzz, with some projecting him to go off the board ahead of Haskins. Gruden and his staff coached Lock at the Senior Bowl in late January.
Carr, who turns 28 on Thursday, is coming off a career high in passing yards (4,049) but a career low in touchdowns (19). He remains under contract for four more seasons, but the team could trade him this offseason and save $15 million of his $22.5 million cap figure.
If the Raiders chose to draft a top quarterback and move on from Carr next offseason, they could save $16.5 million of his $21.5 million cap figure for 2020.
Oakland also two other first-round picks in April's draft, at Nos. 24 and 27.

Austin also ran the ball six times for 55 yards.
Austin has 14 career touchdowns in six NFL seasons, the first five of which came with the Rams.

Report: Big loss has Dolphins' players wanting out
Whether the Miami Dolphins lost their season opener by 49 points because they had a bad week, or because the front office is resigned to losing as part of a rebuilding phase, multiple players reportedly want out — now.
Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, citing "a league source with knowledge of the situation," reported Sunday that some players wasted little time after their 59-10 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens in ordering their agents to get them traded elsewhere.
Suspicions have arisen that the Dolphins could be willing to lose so they get higher draft picks.
The speculation intensified on Aug. 31 when the Dolphins traded away tackle Laremy Tunsil, a first-round draft pick in 2016, and six-year veteran wide receiver Kenny Stills, to the Houston Texans, reportedly to receive first-round picks in 2020 and 2021, and a second rounder in 2021.
Miami's talks with Houston were believed to have begun with the Dolphins asking about star edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney. But the Texans instead dealt Clowney to the Seattle Seahawks.
Brian Flores, the Dolphins' first-year coach, has repeatedly said the franchise is not tanking — in effect, trying to lose to improve their draft selection — though such admissions are rare.
The Dolphins finished 7-9 last year, but were projected to be one of the league's worst teams in 2019 by most NFL experts even before Sunday's stinker and the ensuing mutiny reports.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a calf issue, according to the team's injury report.
The nature of the injury or when Brady sustained it is unclear, but the Boston Herald reports it's not "anything to worry about going forward."
Asked if there was any concern with having his quarterback limited in practice, special teams ace Matthew Slater told reporters, "Not when your quarterback is Tom Brady."
Also limited were offensive tackle Marcus Cannon (shoulder), newly signed offensive lineman Caleb Benenoch (calf) and tight end Matt LaCosse (ankle). Fullback James Develin (neck) sat out practice.
Meanwhile, Miami Dolphins linebacker Raekwon McMillan raised a few eyebrows when he told reporters Wednesday that an official told him to "stay off Tom" after he delivered a legal hit on Brady during Sunday's game in Miami.
McMillan hit Brady as he was releasing a throw early in the second quarter, avoiding Brady's head and pulling up rather than taking the quarterback to the ground. Brady remained down on the ground for a few seconds afterward, and referee Bill Vinovich and umpire Bruce Stritesky walked over toward him as he got up.
No penalty was called on McMillan. There were offsetting penalties for offensive and defensive holding elsewhere in the play.

Clamoring for first-round pick Daniel Jones is intense in New York, and Giants head coach Pat Shurmur did nothing to douse fans ready to see Eli Manning unseated as the starting quarterback.
Speaking Monday at his post mortem press conference after the Giants fell to 0-2, Shurmur didn't commit to Manning as the starting quarterback for Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-1).
"He's been our starter to this point. I'm not ready to talk about that," Shurmur said Monday afternoon, adding that the Giants would talk about "everything" moving forward.
"I think that's fair at this point. To this point what we've done hasn't been good enough."
Jones was selected with the sixth overall pick in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He sparkled in the preseason, setting up a potential in-season conflict with Manning. Jones was 29-for-34 passing for 416 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions over four preseason games.
"The motivation is to win. Nothing more than that," Manning said at his locker Monday after being informed of Shurmur's message. " … Nothing changes."
After a loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Shurmur did not want to consider Jones as part of the game plan against the Buccaneers this week. But he shifted course again Monday.
Manning credited the Bills for causing the Giants into long third downs.
"When you're 0-2, there's pressure on everybody. You can't have that affect you. I've got to make better throws, better plays, find ways to convert on third downs. That's the quarterback's job," Manning said Sunday, adding that there is some frustration with the team starting 0-2.
"It's not how you want to start. We've got to keep fighting, find ways to play better football. I know we can play better. i know we can do better than what we are," he said.
Manning was without wide receivers Sterling Shepard (concussion) and Cody Latimer, who entered concussion protocol on Sunday.
"I thought a couple receivers, new guys who've been here just a couple of weeks, made some plays," Manning said.

John C. Reilly is earning raves in "Cyrus," a story that doubles as an ode to Oedipus in a dark comedy kind of way. The movie opened in limited release this weekend and earned an average of $45,000 on four screens in New York and Los Angeles.
But his parenting figure roles are going to lose even a dark sense of comedy in his next role "We Have To Talk about Kevin."
The movie is based on the 2003 novel by Lionel Shriver which won UK's prestigious Orange Prize, concerning a child sociopath told from the mother's perspective.
"He commits a tragic act as a teenager and it's a story of the family," says Reilly, who promises: "It's a gut punch of a movie."
The movie stars the excellent Tilda Swinton as his wife and up-and-coming Ezra Miller as Kevin. It has all the signs of a can't-miss movie from the story material to the stars. But it's going to be hard to watch, regardless.
When PopcornBiz asked Reilly if he thought about moving onto a happy family for a change, he just shook his head.
"Happy families are not interesting on film," he said. "You have to have conflict. Its the source of the drama."

I've come across a really weird problem. I was trying to see the groups in my application, but it didn't seems to work at run-time. So, I stated to develop my control in a test application. Everything works fine. So, I've tried again since I was a lot better with the control and it still doesn't work.
So, when I'm in the designer, I add group, add items and we can see them fine. But as soon as I run the application, I loose all the grouping. I've put a screenshot in attachment.
So, I was wondering what can cause that? I've tried to search information on the net, but didn't found anything? Any idea would be welcome. It's probably a setting in my project, a reference or something like that, but I've looked at everything and didn't find any anomaly.
Thanks in advance!

Chiesa Ortodossa in Italia
The Chiesa Ortodossa in Italia (Orthodox Church in Italy) it is a uncanonical church organization. Was part of the Old Calendarist movement, which then joined Patriarch Pimen's Alternative Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church and adopted reformed Julian calendar (New Calendar).
The Orthodox Church in Italy was founded in 1991 by Antonio (de Rosso), bishop of Aprilia and Latium under the jurisdiction of Metr. Cyprian. Bp. Antonio is a former Roman Catholic priest.
In 1993, the church joined Patriarch Pimen's Alternative Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, and in 1995 Bp. Antonio was enthroned as Bishop of Ravenna and Italy. After 1997, Bp. Antonio was elevated to Metropolitan of Ravenna and Italy. During that year, the Orthodox Church in Italy was recognized as an autonomous church, and Metr. Antonio became a full member of Pimen's Holy Synod. Nowadays Metropolitan Antonio is a member of the Montenegrin Orthodox Church's Holy Synod. The Orthodox Church in Italy is in full communion with Bulgarian Alternative Synod, the Montenegrin Orthodox Church, the Church of Ukraine (Kiev Patriarchate), the Macedonian Orthodox Church, and some other small churches.

The 2011 MTV Video Music Awards opened with a Lady Gaga in drag, and ended with Katy Perry winning Best Video. In the hours in between, viewers were treated to a fast-paced show that managed to be surprising but fun, and without any of the crass-outs of past years.
What was most interesting? Lady Gaga as the pretty convincing tough guy? A heartfelt tribute to a lost talent? Music's royalist couple annoucing their first child? Katy Perry's oddly cute costumes?
Perry, who came into the night leading all nominees with 10 nods, who was easily the big winner of the night, taking home the top prize, Video of the Year, for "Firework." She also picked up the Moon Man for Best Collaboration and Best Special Effects for "E.T.", featuring Kanye West.
Personal tastes aside, Perry's win was something of a shock considering Adele's "Rolling the Deep" picked up Best Art Direction, Direction, Editing and Cinematography--how can you have the best-made video and not have the best video? And you'd never know what a good night Adele had as none of her wins were broadcast.
It may have been a bit of an emotional night for Perry for other reasons: Perry's husband Actor Russell Brand, who was friends with Amy Winehouse before they both got famous, came out to pay tribute to his departed friend, telling the audience, "It became evident upon hearing that divine voice that she was a genius… When a talent like Amy Winehouse comes along, it effects all of us,"
Not long before she died in July, at age 27, Winehouse recorded a jazz duet, "Body and Soul," with the great Tony Bennett for his upcoming album "Duets II." The legendary crooner took the stage to introduce footage from their session together.
"She was so unbelievable, because of all the young artists I've met... she was a true jazz artist in the tradition of Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday... Amy had the whole gift, she sang beautiful," said Bennett. Following the showing of never-before-seen footage, Bruno Mars took the stage to sing a cover of Winehouse's "Valerie."
Of course, this is the VMAs, and it wouldn't be the VMAs without a little pushing the boundaries of taste.
Perhaps the night's most uncomfortable moment came when Cloris Leachman took the stage with the girls from "Jersey Shore" to present the award for Best Female Video to Lady Gaga. The Jersey Girls fawned over Leachman, who in turn made some reference to a booty call from one of their housemates and proclaimed herself "DTF."
Speaking of boundaries, this year's show's most likely will be remember for Lady Gaga's stunning opening performance as "Joe Calderone," a '50s-style greaser with big hollow eyes and an even bigger pompadour, who sang a mean version of her single "You and I."
Oddly, Gag won the new Best Video With a Message Award (for "Born This Way") but MTV opted to announce it during the pre-show. It was a bizarre decision that felt a little jarring, and made it seem as though they were less than psyched about their new award.
"Every video they've got has a f***ing message," said Gaga-as-Calderone in accepting her Moon Man later for Best Female Video later. At that point, the Calderone act started to grow thin, though it was kinda funny seeing Calderone pick up the Best Female Video statue.
Calderone also took the stage to present the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award to Britney Spears, who earlier in the night had picked up Best Pop Video for "Till the End of the World." As the two pop giants stood face to face on the stage, you could feel everyone in the room hoping they;d re-enact Spears' 2003 lip-lock with Madonna, but Claderone stood down.
"I don't want Gaga to get pissed," "he" explained.
The Best New Artist Award, which has been an amazingly accurate bellwether of future stardom, went to Tyler the Creator, who gave the night's emotional speech of the night, declaring, "I'm as excited as f*** right now--I've wanted this since I was nine, I'm about to cry."
It was a ironically sweet moment from a man whose video for "Yonkers," which he also directed, is easily one of the darkest and angriest among this year's nominees, with a stark, black-and-white look at the rapper as he eats bugs, vomits and ultimately hangs himself.
One of the biggest surprises of the night was definitely the baby bump that Beyonce carried down the black carpet. She was on hand as a triple nominee for "Rule the World (Girls)," while her husband, Jay-Z, was there to sing "Otis" with Kanye West, from their new album "Watch the Throne."
The biggest no-show was Kreayshawn, the Oakland rapper who'd been scheduled to host the black carpet, but was nowhere to be found. She was mentioned only in passing at the top of the broadcast before being totally forgotten.
The unofficial Trooper of the Year had to be Jesse J, who showed up sporting a pair of bejeweled and striped crutches, a walking cast on her left foot. "I broke my ankle a couple of weeks ago… I got the offer to come here (serve as leader of the house band), and I thought, "You know what? I'm not gonna sit home and feel sorry for myself…I'm gonna hop on a plane and sing my a** off."
Despite concerns that MTV had opted not to have a host for the show, things somehow managed to keep moving forward. Comedian Kevin Hart came out after Gaga's opening number to complain about the lack of a host, insisting that he was available. In lieu of a live presence marshaling things forward, the show was interspersed with comedy bits featuring Hart to fill the down moments. With live performances from Chris Brown, Beyonce and others, the show kept moving at a crisp pace.

Gwyneth Paltrow says she and Chris Martin have had "terrible times" in their marriage, soap star William Roache is charged with raping a 15-year-old girl in the 1960s, and Kris Kross' Chris Kelly dies at age 34: See Us Weekly's top 5 stories from Thursday, May 2.
1. Gwyneth Paltrow: Chris Martin and I Have Had "Terrible Times" in Our Marriage
Perfection is overrated anyway. Gwyneth Paltrow's life may seem charmed from the outside, but like anyone else, she has her share of problems. Underneath the blockbuster movie career, Goop empire, and designer wardrobe is a real — and self-admittedly flawed — married mom-of-two. "It's hard being married," she admits. "You go through great times, you go through terrible times. We're the same as any couple."
2. William Roache Arrested: Soap Actor Charged With Raping 15-Year-Old Girl in the 1960s
Over 40 years after the fact, William Roache was arrested and charged with two counts of rape on Wednesday, May 1, BBC reports. The 81-year-old Coronation Street actor is accused of raping a 15-year-old girl in Haslingden, England back in spring to summer 1967, when he was 35 years old. "Having completed our review, we have concluded that there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest for Mr. Roache to be charged with two offenses of rape relating to a girl, aged 15, in 1967," Chief Crown Prosecutor, Nazir Afzal, said in a statement.
3. Kris Kross' Chris Kelly Dead: "We Will Forever Love Him," Says His Mother
Chris Kelly, who became a teen hip-hop star in the early 90s in the rap duo Kris Kross, has died at age 34. Kelly was found unresponsive at his Atlanta-area home, and later died at a nearby hospital on Wednesday, May 1, the Fulton County medical examiner's office told CNN. No further details about his cause of death were immediately available.
4. Reese Witherspoon on Her Arrest: "I Panicked," Told Cop "I Was Pregnant"
Reese Witherspoon is ready to face the music. The Oscar-winning actress is finally speaking out about her shocking April 19 arrest for disorderly conduct in Atlanta — in which the star, 37, threw a fit at a police officer who pulled over her husband, Jim Toth for suspected DUI. Although she quickly released a written statement shortly after news broke of the bust, the Mud actress has otherwise remained mum on the mortifying incident.
5. Katy Perry Breaks Down in Tears, Consoled by Cyndi Lauper at Broadway Show
Katy Perry could have filled New York City's Al Hirschfeld Theatre with her tears on Wednesday, May 1 — and she nearly did. The "Part of Me" singer, 28, was apparently so moved by the Broadway musical Kinky Boots that she broke down in sobs at the end of the show, the New York Post's Page Six reports.

Tonight saw the beginning of the end for Lost, one of my favorite shows on television. Or is that the end of the beginning? You never know with ABC's hit series and the creative minds of Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, their writing staff, and everyone involved in the creative process.
After a long wait, Lost has entered its 6th and final season, something that was pre-determined several years back when ABC agreed to let the show set its concrete end-date so the writers could fully plot out the structure of the show - and set up its story appropriately without forcing extra "filler" episodes to milk the franchise.
Just as I did with our Lost Season 5 Finale Review & Discussion, I've made many pages of notes while watching the finale, having gone into it with no spoilers beforehand. Join us as I review and discuss 2-hour season 6 premiere of Lost, titled "LAX."
While watching the episode, I typed up a summary of everything that happened as it happened to help me remember. I'll post that later as a play-by-play recap of the entire 2-hour premiere.
For now, let's hit on the big topics.
The show opens with the white flash resulting from Juliet setting off the bomb from the Lost Season 5 Finale. This transitions into the intro of the premiere which sees Jack back on Oceanic Airlines, flight 815.
So, did the bomb work? Did the Losties successfully put things in order and end up back on the plane? No, fool. This is Lost!
What we see is a re-imagining of the intro to the series, an alternate reality. The scenes start out the same as we remember and just like before, the airplane hits that foreboding turbulence but what we expect to happen does not, and the Flight isn't interrupted by the airplane breaking apart into pieces.
Instead we see what would've happened with our favorite characters had their flight continued normally. We get several great cameos including Charlie and his drug habit, Boone who lost his life in season 1, exploding Dr. Artz and even a voiceover cameo from Greg Grunberg as captain of the flight.
Multiple Story Arcs
What happens in the alternate reality is only one of three stories being told at the same time and throughout the special we're continuously jumping from one to another.
While seeing what the flight should have been and what happens to the characters at the airport once they land at LAX, we're seeing the repercussions of what happened at the four-toed statue after what we thought was Locke manipulated Ben into killing Jacob.
Richard is there outside the structure, waiting with a large group of survivors and a bunch of armed folks led by Ilana (played by Zuleikha Robinson). Recall that at the end of Season 5, Ilana and co. brought the casket with the real John Locke to show Richard Alpert which had them all wondering who the heck they'd been following to meet Jacob.
So, following this story for a moment, some interesting revelations are made. We learn that the bad John Locke, who's really Jacob's nemesis (I refer to him as Esau) is in fact the smoke monster.
We also learn that he and Richard have history and are enemies of sorts. From the way everything has played out in the series so far, we are lead to believe that he is the villainous character of the show and that Jacob is the good guy. How Richard doesn't age and what his history with these two are, or what his mission is, are still a mystery.

Back in April, the bestselling book, The Fault in Our Stars was one of the 7 things we loved… and we were anxiously awaiting the premiere of the movie. The tearjerker about teen cancer sufferers Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters was released on June 6 and, suffice it to say, we were definitely not disappointed. Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort were utterly adorable and inspirational on screen, and we have to admit, brought tears to our eyes more than once. Above all, we were inspired by the message of positivity and living every day to the fullest.
We also loved Gus and Hazel's laidback style throughout the film. We've pulled together some of our favorite AEO pieces to help you recreate their looks.

Another reason we love this film is because it was shot in our very own hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. If you're ever in Pittsburgh, here are the must-stop locations where some of the scenes were filmed.
St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Mt. Lebanon: This is where they filmed the support group scenes and where Hazel and Gus first meet.
Oakmont: While we don't know exactly where the crew filmed in Oakmont, this was the location of Hazel's house. Take a drive towards the iconic Oakmont Country Club and you're likely to see some familiar surroundings from the movie.
Allegheny General Hospital Suburban Campus: All of the hospital scenes were shot here.

laugh in (one's) face
To react to what one has just said or done in a way that shows obvious ridicule and amusement, often by literally laughing in front of them. I pitched him my story, and he laughed in my face, right there in the elevator. It was humiliating. When Helen asked for a refund, the manager basically laughed in her face. I'd appreciate if you didn't laugh in my face every time I fall.
laugh in someone's face
to laugh in derision directly to someone's face; to show displeasure or ridicule at something one has said by laughing directly into one's face. It is very impolite to laugh in someone's face! After I heard what she had to say, I just laughed in her face.

Intel's Developers Forum kicks off today, and UMID is showing off its upgrade to the M1 ultra mobile PC. The M2 runs Windows 7 (instead of XP), faster 1.2Ghz or 1.6GHz Atom processors, and no longer needs USB port dongles.
And while the M1 costs $600 with a 1.33GHz processor and 512MB memory, the upcoming M2 is expected to be $400 when it arrives around November. It will use the same keyboard and 4.8-inch (1024x600) screen, but design changes improve the screen angle, add an optical mouse and mouse buttons, and do away with the need for a USB port dongle.
A non-working prototype is felt up in the video below, but we should see the M2 running Windows 7 at IDF later this week. We'll let you know if it's up the task. [UMPC Portal via Pocketables and JKKMobile]

Rescue Profile: Han
Case #: 15918
While on a seven day hiking trip in Tasmania, Australia, Han Strating and his girlfriend were near New Pelion when they came across another hiker experiencing heart problems. Realizing the man was in need of serious medical attention; Han quickly pulled out his SPOT GEN3® and pressed the S.O.S. button. Luckily, there was a nurse with the individual who was already providing first aid to keep him stable while they waited for help.
Since the SPOT GEN3 belonged to Han, GEOS, reached out to his mother who happened to be his primary point of contact. Han's mother, who happened to be on the other side of the world and with no prior knowledge of his whereabouts, became very wary upon receiving the call from GEOS. Han says that his mom was "stressed for a few hours, but ultimately was happy and proud of what I did…" Within 2 ½ hours from when Han pressed the S.O.S button on his SPOT device to aid the fellow hiker, the Westpac Rescue helicopter arrived at their location to take the patient and his wife to Hobart Hospital. As soon as the helicopter took off, Han began notifying his friends and emergency contacts that he was indeed okay and not in danger.
Rescue Profile: Adam Noah
Case #: 16195
Early in the morning of March 10th, 2016, Adam Noah, a hunter from Baker Lake, Nunavut, headed out on his snowmobile for a day of caribou hunting. By the middle of the afternoon, when he was in a remote area about 45 kilometers east of Baker Lake, his snowmobile broke down. The temperature in that area was -40° Celsius.
For the past two years Noah says he has owned a SPOT GPS Satellite Messenger, which he carries with him as part of his emergency gear whenever he goes hunting or fishing. "We don't only use a snowmobile when we go out hunting or fishing. We always have a sled attached which carries survival gear. It gets so cold that you can't just go hunting for the day without emergency gear." For Noah, SPOT is an important part of his emergency gear.
Rescue Profile: Matt Oliver
Case #: 15932
Matt Oliver and four friends picked a beautiful day for snowmobiling in Steamboat Springs, CO. They set off on their ride around 10 AM and traveled a familiar route. A few hours into their ride, they decided to take a different path back to their vehicles. The new path led them to a creek ravine and they realized they were getting into dangerous avalanche terrain. They began strategizing the best way out.
The group of five experienced snowmobilers vacillated about driving back through their old tracks, but after determining their location via their GPS system, they decided it was safer to head down the creek for another half mile rather than driving back uphill. The thick blankets of snow made it very difficult for them to make much distance and they knew they couldn't continue on without putting themselves at a greater risk.
Luckily, Matt and his friends were well prepared with saws, thermals, boiling pots and Matt's SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger. "I pressed the S.O.S. on my SPOT to alert GEOS International Emergency Rescue Coordination Center, knowing that it would not be until morning when search and rescue could safely come help us," commented Matt. They made a fire and set up camp for the night. Meanwhile, GEOS contacted Matt's mom and dad to let them know of the situation. The family was advised that it would take some time for search and rescue to assist due to the situation of snow and avalanche danger.
Rescue Profile: Cam Villeneuve
Case #: 16054
SPOT GPS Satellite Messenger Rescue:
Cam Villeneuve is a recreational pilot from the Thompson Valley Sport Aircraft Club in Kamloops, BC who loves to fly year-round. He has even installed skis on his small aircraft so that he can "land everywhere, on land, on hill sides and on lakes."
In the mid-afternoon of February 1st, 2016, Villeneuve was returning to Blair Fields Airport, wrapping up a 45-minute flight. It was a beautiful sunny day and he was having fun landing and taking off from frozen lakes on the south side of Kamloops. On his approach to the landing strip, at a distance of about 3 miles, the aircraft "became very unstable and hard to control" says Villeneuve. "All of a sudden I was looking straight down at the ground from about 400 feet."
Rescue Profile: Alfred Moore
Case #: 15780
Alfred Moore, an outdoor aficionado from Southern California, has been riding motorcycles for four years, on average 3-5 days a week. He and seven of his buddies recently went on a three-day weekend camping trip in the Los Padres National Forest. On the second day, Alfred and one other were tailing at the end of their group when he hit a switchback in the soft sand and took a hard fall.
After his friend helped pull his bike off of him, Alfred realized he was in bad shape. "The initial pain was horrific, but then I lost feeling in my leg below my knee cap," he stated. Alfred's first instinct was to call his wife, Tiffanie. After dropped calls due to poor cell coverage, he grabbed his SPOT Gen3 that his wife convinced him to purchase just days prior to trip and pressed the S.O.S button.
Back at home, Tiffanie received the call from GEOS International Emergency Rescue Coordination Center. She had told GEOS that she suspected he was in trouble after the attempted calls he had made earlier but didn't know what was wrong. They assured her help was on the way to his location and that they would be back in touch with her to provide an update.

Yeah, well, that's all good, but did you vote? If not, get off your pretty pink, go out and do that, THEN come back and post!
I did, for Gary Johnson. Some would argue that I wasted my vote--to which I like to respond, "a wasted vote is one cast for someone you don't believe in."
I give it no more than 12 years if Republicans keep doing what they are doing these days and the Libertarian party will finally gain traction... or the Republicans smarten up and turn their party more Libertarian.
Nice response, and welcome

Revamping the Vamp... what do?
Well, Theres some things about lifesteal you may not know. Here's my epic story and thought patter to get to my current conclusion (at the end). Here goes:
I march proudly into the dungeon as a Vampire with a sensation stone and conversion scroll, because I wanted to be the master of all life as we know it. I convert it, do some other stuff, convert some glyphs, then I actually looked at what I had...
Lifesteal: 18. So every time I hit an enemy, I should gain 18 health back. Right?
Damage Reduction: 2. I figured I'd bring the shield this time to stack with my natural ability to tank damage.
Current Damage with boosts: 12.
Level: 2.
I go to attack a level 4 Serpent, because from looking at my lifesteal... i'm a god right now.
The serpent has 27 attack. I hit it, and I take 13 damage. 27-18-2 = 7. So I should be taking 7 damage if I'm doing my math right... Not 13. I'm only stealing 12 life!
If I attack a level 2 Dragonspawn, because I should be its immortal master at my current stats...
The dragon has 10 attack. I hit it, and gain 4 health. 10-2-18 = -10. So according to my math, I should be gaining 10 health, not 4. I'm still only stealing 12 life!
If i attack a level 1 meat man, because he's just a chump...
The meat man has 2 attack. I hit it, and gain 12 health. 2-2-18 = -18. So according to my math again, I should be gaining my full 18 lifesteal, since my 2 damage reduction makes the meat man deal 0 damage. But I don't. Instead, I'm 6 health short still.
What am I missing here? Apparently I'm doing 12 lifesteal instead of 18. 12 just happens to be my actual attack and not my lifesteal.
I gain 1 level after killing stuff. My stats are: 18 total damage, 2 damage reduction, 18 lifesteal.
I move in on a level 3 animated armor. He has 28 attack. I hit him, I take 8 damage. 28-2-18 = 8. WOO it's correct. But I believe this is only because my actual attack is 18.
I gain another level. Stats: Attack 25 total. 2 damage reduction. 18 lifesteal.
I close in hungrily on a level 4 dragonspawn. He has 27 attack. What a wimp. I hit him and suffer a measly 7 damage. 27-2-18 = 7 WOO it's correct. I now believe this is because my attack is greater than my lifesteal.
Can you only lifesteal to a total of your maximum damage?
I convert some stuff, I'm up to 20 lifesteal now! wooo!
I attack a level 3 gooblob, because I can easily slurp up his measly life for breakfast. He has 18 damage. I hit, he hits. He deals 3 damage. WAIT A SEC! I thought I was fixed? 18-2-20 = -4. I should be Gaining life, not losing it... The prediction meter says i'll be gaining life too. But I didn't. I lifestealed for 13 only. I also only dealt 13 damage through his physical resistance.
My conclusions. You can only lifesteal up to the damage you deal. This means that the Vampire's huge lifesteal early on is absolutely useless for fighting higher level monsters, because he can't even get close to taking advantage of its full potential. Additionally, since the Vampire has no mana regeneration, he has almost NOTHING to deal with physical resistances. His attack and lifesteal BOTH get massively crippled, not to mention he certainly doesn't have the mage power to deal with it.
Also... Minor bug? or on purpose? I have patches. I gained the resistance boost. It shows me as having 2 little +0% resistance icons. Are the little icons supposed to be there?
Start talking. Save my crippled vampire.

This past December 17th, the Congressional Research Service (CRS) released a new report
"The Protection of Classified Information: The Legal Framework"
[No. RS21900] by Jennifer K. Elsea, Legislative Attorney
From the report's summary:
The publication of secret information by WikiLeaks and multiple media outlets, followed by news coverage of leaks involving high-profile national security operations, has heightened interest in the legal framework that governs security classification and declassification, access to classified information, agency procedures for preventing and responding to unauthorized disclosures, and penalties for improper disclosure. Classification authority generally rests with the executive branch, although Congress has enacted legislation regarding the protection of certain sensitive information. While the Supreme Court has stated that the President has inherent constitutional authority to control access to sensitive information relating to the national defense or to foreign affairs, no court has found that Congress is without authority to legislate in this area.
This report provides an overview of the relationship between executive and legislative authority over national security information, and summarizes the current laws that form the legal framework protecting classified information, including current executive orders and some agency regulations pertaining to the handling of unauthorized disclosures of classified information by government officers and employees. The report also summarizes criminal laws that pertain specifically to the unauthorized disclosure of classified information, as well as civil and administrative penalties. Finally, the report describes some recent developments in executive branch security policies and legislation currently before Congress (S. 3454).

I'm currently in a pre-ap java programming exposure class. For our final project, we must make some sort of working program like a video game of sorts. It can't be a simple slide show type game. The problem is, ladies and gentlemen witnessing my plea, that the "pre-ap" factor of this class has caused me problems. I don't have trouble maintaining a good grade in the class. But it's to the point that these last few months have been us being rushed through chapter questions to the point where you have to use control-F to find answers to get done in time opposed to actually reading the material and learning. Which leads me to believe I'm in need of lots of grace.
The program itself, what I thought would be simplest, is to make a trivia game with four categories, each of the categories having 1-2 questions. I also wanted to include the 'back' and 'next' buttons. This is as far as I've gotten as to ideas. The true problem is actually coding it. In all honesty, I understand simple concepts, but the entire class we've never had to start from scratch, and all the coding for more complicated parts of the program was already given to us, so when it comes to what to actually write from scratch, I've got nothing.
Be aware that if you post on this offering help, I will be asking several questions and you may be here awhile. Thanks!
