SAN FRANCISCO -- The Cincinnati Reds began a crucial stretch against the teams chasing them in the NL wild-card race with quite the comeback victory.
They scored their final four runs with two outs.
David Ross' solo homer broke a tie in the eighth and the Reds rallied from a three-run deficit to beat the San Francisco Giants 6-3 on Thursday night.
Ross connected against Vinnie Chulk (0-2) with a drive to left for the Reds, who began a season-long 10-game road trip against contending NL West teams by pulling within .0004 of first-place St. Louis in the NL Central (.5238 to .5234).
"A big win," Ross said. "When there are so many teams in it, it's nice to gain ground on anybody. What everybody's worrying about in here is taking care of ourselves at this point."
Ryan Franklin (5-6) got the final out in the seventh for the win as Cincinnati gained a half-game on idle San Diego for a 1½-game edge in the wild-card race. David Weathers pitched the ninth for his 10th save in 16 chances.
Edwin Encarnacion drove in two runs for the Reds on a cold August evening at San Francisco's waterfront ballpark, where the first-pitch temperature was 58 degrees. Juan Castro hit a two-run single in the ninth off Mike Stanton for the Reds' final runs.
"The big thing for us is every game is huge from here on out," Weathers said. "Every time we have a chance to get a win, we have to jump on it."
Pedro Feliz hit a two-run homer and Randy Winn added a solo shot, but the Giants didn't score a run after the second inning.
San Francisco had won eight of 10 to get back in the playoff chase after the Giants seemed out of it following their fifth straight loss Aug. 13 at Los Angeles to fall 7½ games behind in the NL West race. The Giants now trail division-leading Los Angeles by 4½ games, and the Giants are five games back in the wild-card chase.
Trailing 3-0, Encarnacion singled in a run to get the Reds on the board in the sixth. The ball bounced slightly in front of second and over the bag and rolled under lunging second baseman Ray Durham.
"That was a big play," Giants manager Felipe Alou said. "I still don't know what happened with the ball that went over the bag and into the outfield. ... That game was lost. You know what I mean? Lost. Not l-o-s-s. It was lost, l-o-s-t."
Ken Griffey Jr. scored from third on a passed ball moments after Encarnacion's hit.
Encarnacion doubled in the tying run in the seventh.
Brad Hennessey had a better showing than his previous performance, when the right-hander didn't make it out of the second inning in the shortest outing of his career Saturday against the Dodgers.
Durham extended his season-best and team-high hitting streak to 14 games with a leadoff double in the second, then Feliz followed with a drive to left on a 2-2 pitch from Eric Milton for his 21st home run of the season.
Winn hit Milton's second pitch of the game over the left-field wall for his 10th home run and second leadoff homer of the year.
Barry Bonds went 0-for-3 with a walk in his 2,834th career game, tying him with Al Kaline for 14th on the all-time list.
Bonds, who hit his 725th career homer Monday night against Arizona and had produced back-to-back multihit games for the first time in two years, and Griffey have a combined 1,286 home runs -- the second most by two players in the same game behind Hank Aaron and Willie Mays (1,355) when the Mets played at the Atlanta Braves on July 17, 1973.
Bonds flied out to Griffey in center field to end the first inning, then Griffey hit a fly ball to Bonds in left in the fourth.
- Bonds is second on the career homers list behind Aaron's record 755, while Griffey's 561 homers are good for 11th place.
- Reds SS Aurilia visited with fans and enjoyed another return to the city where he played the first nine years of his career before leaving after the '03 season.
- Kevin Correia pitched on his 26th birthday.
- A rally rabbi was on hand for the stadium's Jewish Heritage Night.
- Winn has 11 career leadoff homers and six as a member of the Giants, who he joined last summer in a trade from Seattle.

Murphy homers in 8th, leads Mets over Cubs 4-3AP , Associated Press
May. 19, 2013 7:41 PM ET
CHICAGO (AP) — The New York Mets wanted more pop up top, and hoped Daniel Murphy could provide it. New York Mets' Daniel Murphy, right, is congratulated by teammate David Wright after hitting solo home run in the eighth inning of a baseball game against the Chicago Cubs in Chicago, Sunday, May 19, 2013. (AP Photo/Charles Cherney)
He delivered, hitting a tiebreaking home run in the eighth inning that sent the Mets over the Chicago Cubs 4-3 on Sunday for their first series win at Wrigley Field since 2007. The Mets won two of three on this trip to Chicago. Murphy batted leadoff for the first time this season and fifth time in his career. He'd mostly been in the second slot this season. "It's still always about quality at-bats," Murphy said. Murphy hit a leadoff shot against reliever Kyuji Fujikawa (1-1). Murphy has homered twice in three games and has an eight-game hitting streak, during which he's batted .469 (15 for 32) with seven extra-base hits. Manager Terry Collins indicated Murphy might remain in the leadoff spot. "I feel like I'm taking better swings," Murphy said. "I feel better with my swing. I'm also getting better pitches to hit. When your swing is going good, you feel comfortable at the plate. You just don't miss them. That's kind of where I'm at." Mets rookie Juan Lagares hit his first major league homer, a tying, two-run drive in the seventh against starter Travis Wood. "I wish I could have that pitch back," Wood said. "I went with a changeup, was trying to get it down and happened to leave it up. He put a good swing on it and hit it out." Lagares planned to keep the baseball, which a fan threw back onto the field. "When I came here I just tried to keep doing the same thing I was doing in Triple-A," Lagares said. "The key is to keep working hard." Scott Rice (2-3) pitched two scoreless innings. Bobby Parnell earned his sixth save. Wood hit his first homer of the season and fourth of his career, clearing the left-field bleachers with a two-run drive off Dillon Gee in the fifth to end a scoreless tie. "I felt like I located fairly well today, other than a couple pitches that really hurt me," Gee said. "Wood hitting the home run kind of surprised me because I was throwing so many sliders to him. It was like he was sitting on the fastball as soon as it left my hand." Wood made his ninth straight quality start, allowing three runs and five hits in seven innings. He struck out three and walked two. The last Cubs starter to begin a season with at least nine straight quality starts was Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown in 1908. "Wood was throwing the ball well today," Murphy said. "He didn't make a whole lot of mistakes. The one that did, Juan did a great job capitalizing on it. It was an awesome first home run." The Mets cut the lead to 2-1 in the sixth on a walk to Gee, a forceout, a wild pitch and an RBI single by David Wright. The Cubs extended their lead to 3-1 in the bottom half on Ryan Sweeney's leadoff homer. It was his first home run since July 27, 2011, when he played for Oakland. Gee allowed three runs and eight hits in five innings. He has allowed nine runs in his last nine innings and hasn't won since May 1. "When he's making his pitches with his changeup, which is his No. 1 pitch anyway, he's effective," Collins said. Sweeney tried to stretch a leadoff double into a triple in the fourth but was thrown out at third. The Cubs also had leadoff doubles in the first and fifth. NOTES: The Cubs announced reliever Michael Bowden will be designated for assignment to make room for RHP Matt Garza, who is coming off the disabled list on Tuesday. ... Cubs 1B Anthony Rizzo struck out in the first inning, ending 39 straight at-bats without a strikeout. ... Cubs RHP Carlos Villanueva was available. He moved to the bullpen to make room for Garza, who will make his season debut on Tuesday against Pittsburgh. Garza strained a back muscle in spring training. Villanueva (1-3) hasn't won since April 18. He has made 245 of his 309 career appearances as a reliever. © The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

The word sale means the act of selling goods or services. The tag "for sale" is used to identify that something is available to be sold.
The internet began as a method to for scientists and scholars to share ideas. More recently the concept has expanded to also sell goods and services, and share information about those goods and services — both online and at physical "brick and mortar" locations. The sharing of discount items and services "for sale" has blossomed over the past few years. Websites and blogs discussing real estate, clothing, toys, odd stuff, and many other goods "for sale" have also flourished.

In the years 1849 and 1850, Henry Mayhew was the metropolitan correspondent of the Morning Chronicle in its national survey of labour and the poor. Only about a third of his Morning Chronicle material was included in his later and better known, publication, London Labour and the London Poor.
First published in 1981, this series of six volumes constitutes Henry Mayhew's complete Morning Chronicle survey, in the sequence in which it was originally written in 1849 and 1850. It addresses a wealth of topics from cholera in the Jacob's Island area to the food markets of London. The publication of this complete survey represented the first time in which the whole of Mayhew's pioneering work was available in one place. The set is introduced by Dr Peter Razzell, who was co-editor of the national Morning Chronicle survey. This fifth volume contains letters from June to September 1850.
This series will be of interest to those studying the history of social welfare, poverty and urbanisation.

Sales of George Orwell's dystopic novel 1984 have skyrocketed in the wake of the NSA scandal. Clearly, the revelation that Big Brother actually is watching us has readers scrambling to literature for context, comfort, and counsel. But why stop at 1984? Here are 15 other fantastic books in which abuse of surveillance is a major plot point. Let's hope this article doesn't get us on the PRISM watch list, but if so—hi there, NSA! How's life? |

I was working on the second dungeon you open up and my character just bugged and walked through the wall. Now it is stuck walking through blackness. I was hoping not to have to teleport out because I am several levels down and it took awhile to get there. Now I'll need to obtain a bunch of keys just to go back and finish. :-/ Thanks for any help. I'm leaving my account as is for now. I'll check back later for replies, just a little frustrated lol.
Hey Shadowdncr. Have you tried contacting the game developers about this problem, or checked the Mini Heros Forum for a solution yet? ArmorGames is hosting this game, therefor they cannot help you with any in-game bugs and/or glitches, ok? =)
It's better to go to the developers themselves, because the developers don't check the Mini Heroes forum. You can tell because they were hit by a Kitchen Advertisement Bot that makes several threads a day. Months ago.
Sorry it took awhile to get back to this. And thanks for the help, I may check there to see what they say.

Steamboy returns to the Ken April 1
Midnight Saturday and Sunday morning screenings
Scott Marks noon, March 28
I'm embarrassingly terrible about moving. I have very little patience—scratch that, I have no patience. Whereas David will methodically organize items in boxes, tape them up, and label them, I'll just sweep my arm across my desk and into the box, the same way I might wipe crumbs from the kitchen counter into the trash. Nail files, mini DV tapes, papers, keys, pens, random wires: they pile into the cardboard like so much hurricane detritus into a dumpster truck.
It's not only the packing I suck at. Few people "like" schlepping, but I'm downright allergic to it. I'm the person who buys the beer and pizza, the one who rents and drives the U-Haul –- not the one who grunts and carries and drags. After ten minutes of assisting David in the removal of vertical blinds, my composure began to slip. My sighs became more audible, and I may or may not have begun to whine complaints such as, "My arm is tired," or "I have to pee."
When his simmering irritation reaches a boiling point, David excuses me so that he can actually get some work done. It is during these times that I might pick up a book and read while I watch him label boxes, or call a friend to commiserate about what a drag it is to move. Most recently, I had some help. My dad came over to check out the new digs. So while David ran up and down the stairs, measuring spaces, or whatever it is he does to prepare for a move, Dad and I did what we do best – have fun. And we had toys -- Dad just got an iPhone, so after he showed me all of the photos from his recent road-trip through Lake Tahoe and Yosemite, we played around with the video feature. Fortunately, our laughter didn't annoy David, at least not too much.
I hope you are not pushing your luck with a spouse who is willing to put up with you goofing around with your father in the same space while he, husband, is sweating the orderly packing of belongings for a household move. As someone who has moved a lot, I would kill/divorce a mate who did that.
Fortunately, David has a great sense of humor about my shortcomings. I'm a lucky woman, and I know better than to push that luck.

Turns out, this so-bad-it's-good condiment is just as amazing off the plate.
We're guessing there's a jar of mayonnaise lurking somewhere in the back of your fridge — but there's good reason to give the sandwich staple front-shelf status. Thanks to its high oil content, full-fat mayo is a multi-tasking wonder around the house and as part of your beauty routine.
RELATED: 18 Surprising Home Uses for Butter
Here are 11 creative uses for the condiment:
1. Polish plant leaves. Borrow a trick from pro florists: After dusting plant leaves, rub a dab of mayo on them with damp cloth to keep them super shiny.
2. Clean yellowed piano keys. Smooth a tiny bit of mayonnaise onto dull, yellowed piano keys; wait a few minutes, and then rub off with a clean cloth.
3. Deep condition your hair. Mayo's high oil content and rich, thick texture make it perfect for quick DIY hair mask, says cosmetic chemist Ron Robinson of BeautyStat.com. Massage a generous layer into your hair, making sure to coat the ends, and leave on for 15 minutes before rinsing off. (For even more conditioning benefit, use mayo made with olive oil.)
4. Remove tree sap. Keep this tip in mind next Christmas, when sticky pine sap from trees and wreaths makes a stubborn mess: "Rub a small spoonful (of mayo) on your hands like lotion, and the sap will wash right off," writes Bruce Lubin, author of "Who Knew: 10,001 Easy Solutions to Everyday Problems."
5. Get gum out of hair. Got a sticky situation involving a small child and a big wad of bubble gum? Put down the scissors and get a gob of mayo – just massage it in the gum/hair mess then work the gum out of the hair.
6. Exfoliate dead skin. Forget rough, grainy scrubs – there's a smoother way to slough off dead skin, according to Lubin: Apply mayonnaise to dry, rough patches, let it sit for 10 minutes, then wipe away with a damp, warm washcloth.
RELATED: 19 Things We Wish We'd Known About Downsizing
7. Clean crayon marks from walls and wood furniture. Yep, a swipe of mayo can erase a swipe of crayon – from walls as well as wood. Smear the stuff on the offending marks (test in an inconspicuous area first!), leave it on for a few minutes and then wipe away that "masterpiece" with a damp cloth.
8. Makeover your manicure. To keep the cuticles of your nails soft and moisturized, Lubin recommends putting some mayonnaise in a small bowl and submerging fingers in it for five minutes.
9. Remove sticker residue. Sure, you could scrape the gummy gunk off with your fingernail (and ruin your manicure in the process), but there's an easier way to lift the sticky remains of a label or sticker on glass or a mirror, writes Lubin. "Cover it in mayonnaise and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then gently scrape off with a putty knife."
RELATED: 7 Ways to Turn Your Dud Gifts Into Cash
10. Wipe out water marks. When a wet glass leaves an unsightly white ring on a wooden table, massage the area with a dab of mayo and let it sit for a few minutes before wiping it clean (away!). For a really stubborn stain, let the mayo sit for an hour or two.
11. Squelch squeaks. Out of WD-40? A smear of mayonnaise is a quick, natural alternative for quieting a squeaky door hinge.

The Raja Hindustani co-stars recently met at KJo's dinner party and we hear they thoroughly enjoyed their little rendezvous
Aamir Khan and Karisma Kapoor last worked together in Raja Hindustani which released way back in 1996. The film became a blockbuster courtesy Khan and Lolo's sizzling chemistry but sadly the duo never teamed up again. However, just a few days back Mr Perfectionist and the Dil Toh Pagal Hai starlet met at Karan Johar's dinner party and the two really had a good time. In fact, Aamir and Karisma even exchanged lot of notes. Well, that's what the reports claim. Guess AK and Lolo had loads of catching up to do, no? Since both the actors are passionate about cinema, we are pretty sure they must have discussed films too. But did the PK actor and the B-town beauty talked about coming together on the silver screen once again? We dunno but let's hope they did coz it would be great to see them share screen space, right peeps?
Apart from Aamir and Karisma, the former's wifey Kiran Rao, Vidya Balan and her hubby Sidharth Roy Kapur were also preset at Johar's dinner bash.

Is Sprint's LTE coverage exaggerated on its website?
0. phoneArena 06 Oct 2012, 23:36 posted on
A company called Advanced Frequency Engineering tested the LTE service of Verizon, Sprint and AT&T in different markets and found Sprint's coverage to be wanting; AFE said Sprint's LTE service is actually less than advertised...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
of course it is exaggerated, as Sprint is under GI-normous pressure to deliver.
9. AndroidTroll (Posts: 359; Member since: 05 Mar 2011)
Sprint LTE is practically non existent here in Atlanta. When it does show LTE in the status bar, I get excited so I get online or run a speedtest, then sure enough, it starts to go fast then it hangs up, fails, and switches back the CDMA.
I thought maybe something was wrong with my GS3 so I took it to a Sprint service rep. After speaking with him for a few minutes he came clean and said, "It's not your phone man, it's the LTE, it's not ready yet."
I said, "But what about the coverage maps on Sprint's own website? It shows that Atlanta is blanketed with LTE!?!"
"That's the projected coverage. It's supposed to reflect that coverage sometime around the middle of October." He replied.
I was shocked! How can Sprint try to pass off projected coverage as their current coverage?!? Nowhere on the website does it say projected coverage. This is false advertising! It makes me wish that somebody would file a class action lawsuit against this bulls**t!
22. crysiswarmonger (Posts: 78; Member since: 06 Feb 2012)
1st. Sprint is a bunch of liars.
2nd. They have never had coverage of what they claimed.
I switched earlier this year to get away from the lies and poor service that just went down hill year after year.
2. KFear (Posts: 143; Member since: 06 Feb 2012)
I'm not surprised. Sprint has never been good with data. It works in many many places, but never "fast". I however don't drop any calls with Sprint. That...is awesome. Plus i use wifi. I can't see Sprint ever having fast data, even after network vision.
4. Gemmol (Posts: 792; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)
I know what you mean, I do not get drop calls either with AT&T and I live in NY, well Brooklyn to be exact, in my house T-mobile and Verizon do not work, I do not know why, I haven't had a sprint person in my house, so I do not know how well they work, but my cousin had sprint before and I let her join my family plan, she say AT&T service is better.....I told her might be depending on the phone, because I remember have a Motorola phone and it always had better service then my HTC phones, I think they use a better antenna, but so far I have not had a single drop call on my Galaxy Note, I will admit few years ago, I had drop calls with AT&T, but the service is way better then before.....this is just my opinion though
7. Atrixboyyy (Posts: 380; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
Motorola is sorta known for using better radios and I have to agree everyone says that you drop calls on AT&T When ive hade them for about 6 years, lived in 3 different states and have never had the issue. Now sprint does have its "spikes" where a noticable increase In speed is seen but those dont come frequently. And @bitslizer sensorly maybe crowd sourced but is not the most accurate with LTE.
10. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Motorolas and Nokias tend to offer better reception than other makers. Experience pays off!
3. bitslizer (Posts: 22; Member since: 29 Jul 2010)
not sure how AFE do their testing, but this is the same area, crowd sourced coverage map by sensorly
showing pretty much the coverage area very similar to the Sprint official map, not that sensorly map closed to the road driven by people, if no one drove by that spot, you don't see coverage but you can extrapolate/guess coverage base on the spot already reported
6. xXMAKESHIFTXx (Posts: 38; Member since: 28 Jul 2012)
I run Sensorly all the time and just mapped at LEAST 30K points....ATL coverage is definitely Exaggerated!!!!!
8. Atrixboyyy (Posts: 380; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
Just read your comment after writing mine above and yes it is exaggerated.
5. Ruckus (Posts: 286; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)
Hopefully Sprint can snag Metro before T-Mobile does. That would benefit Sprint greatly. Generally speaking Sprint is usually ahead of their competitors in many ways. They were of course the first carrier with 4G (too bad its not like att which uses both LTE and HSPA+), the first carrier with Live TV, and not to mention usually ahead on phone models. Its ashame to see them behind in this significant category. Best of luck Sprint!
13. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Four things:
1) AT&T has the best phone selection of any carrier then Verizon
2) Sprint was the first to have "4G" but it was such a fail its not even worth mentioning. WiMAX is so spotty and unreliable that it shouldn't be something to bath about
3) Sprint always had terrible data speeds. Since 2010, their speeds have gotten worse and worse. Instead of spending billions of dollars on the iPhone, they should have used it for their nnetwork
4) Sprint in my opinion is in last place. T-Mobile will outshine every carrier next year with LTE Advanced and HSPA+ 42 as back haul.
16. thunder18 (Posts: 137; Member since: 06 Aug 2009)
1) AT&T still has a better selection than Verizon due to being able to accept unlocked phones from the vast supply of GSM phones available.
2) Sprint had to jump the gun to WiMax at the time. The spectrum auction they won for the 2.5gHz block required them to roll out 4G in a specific amount of time and LTE was not ready for primetime by that deadline.
3) Wholeheartedly agree. Though if I were in their shoes...I don't know if the decision would have been any easier to make. Bleed customers because you don't offer an iPhone and upgrade the network or spend $15 billion on iPhones so you can keep your customers. Not the position I'd like to be in and a gamble whichever you choose.
4) This may be true. Still, I'm curious to see how Network VIsion pans out by the time it's completed.
19. e.wvu (unregistered)
Improved speeds by 1 percent. Lol.
20. Ruckus (Posts: 286; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)
At&t has the best phones??? Since when?? Sprint and Verizon are one and two (not in that order necessarily).
Sprint had/has:
1st 4G phone
1st 3D phone not requiring glasses
1st phone with Live TV
1st dual screen phone
Let's look at todays lineup
Sprint vs at&t
Evo 4G LTE > One X
iPhone 5 = iPhone 5
Photon Q > Captivate Glide
The only thing I prefer about at&t is their Windows Phone lineup.
Now as of Sprints "Speeds" their 3G is as fast as Verizons. Sure at&t has faster 3G but at&ts 3G coverage is STILL PATHETIC. There are still many areas that lack 3G.
As of Wimax, at the time it was superior. Another reason why they were ahead. Unfortunately for them, LTE ended up being superior. However there are areas near here that got Wimax, and in that same are at&t runs 2G -_-'.
Lastly, T-Mobile needs to worry about call coverage before anyone will take them seriously!!! They could have the best data ever, but if it doesn't work in many places, then what does it matter??
Also Sprint would have had a better build on their LTE network had the government not blocked huaweii from establishing their network (sounds like for good reasons tho).
Now sure a lot of what we both said is opinion, I think my opinion owned yours.
23. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
You listed things that really don't matter. First 3D phone? How popular are 3D phones? The only reason why the EVO 3D sold was because it was Sprint's flagship at the time. Dual screen phone - too bad it really never sold. Look at AT&T; Lumia 900, Lumia 920, Galaxy Note. Oh and that One X+ is better than the EVO 4G LTE sorry.
Sprint's 3G is a total joke a lot of areas in the US. 0.08kbps is as fast as 1.2mbps on Verizon? 4.5mbps on AT&T? Nope.
T-Mobile's call coverage is better than Sprint's imo. I've been in a lot of cities and never had a problem.
Sprint should have waited to deploy LTE instead of WiMAX. It would save saved them money and they could have had LTE in more cities than AT&T.
"Now sure a lot of what we both said is opinion, I think my opinion owned yours." Sorry but you spoke too soon. You can try again next time.
25. Ruckus (Posts: 286; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)
Bahahaha.. You made me cry a little while I was laughing. Way to mention the HTC One X+ and the Limos 920 which aren't even out yet! Way to fail!! Your using future phones to compare to Sprints current lineup. Pathetic! Sure the Note was nice but at&t lost its exclusive rights and now Sprint too will enjoy the Note II. I do like the Lumia 900, and that's Sprints weakness is not having a flagship Windows Phone model. Supposedly though they are supposed to have a Windows Phone 8 model for the holiday.
26. Ruckus (Posts: 286; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)
Blah PA needs a mobile site!
Back to where I was now..
I like the fact that you don't deny at&ts horrid 3G coverage. There are huge portions of areas that at&t doesn't have 3G! You can complain about Sprints speeds, but I haven't seen a non 3G network with Sprint in a very long time (minus 4G). If I go 3 miles outside of town at&t hits edge. Weak!
As for Sprints speeds, I've tested their 3G vs Verizons. Here Sprints runs nearly twice as fast (mainly because Verizon is bogged down here).
I also had a good laugh at your T-Mobile coverage joke. You said it works great in every "city" you've been in, but their rural markets are awful! Yes ill acknowledge Sprint isn't #1 in that category but it works in so many more places. To make put the nail in the coffin, just look at their roaming partners. Sprint roams off of Verizon, while T-Mobile is with at&t. Sprint/Verizon > T-Mobile/at&t.
Did I mention I work with all 4 carriers and own 3 of the 4? Im quite in touch with the carriers/phones.
Are you so sure of yourself still? I can keep going on.
29. Ruckus (Posts: 286; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)
I got bored and looked this up :)http://www.thebuzzmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/att-sprint-tmobile-verizon-3g-data-network-coverage-comparison.png
Sprint 3G crushes at&t and T-Mobile. Granted it's two year old data, I don't think these companies are expanding 3G very often ;)
11. palmguy (Posts: 617; Member since: 22 Mar 2011)
Other Sprint 1st: color screen phones, camera, and video phones 1st in the US.
12. threeline (Posts: 267; Member since: 11 Sep 2011)
Sprint is full of it! Their coverage is so spotty in PHX especially on the west side, but you call the the service department and check Sprint's coverage maps and they say your signal strength is strong for the area. This charade has been going on for years and I have reached my limit with these guys. I am not believer in Sprint anymore or any of the future services they are touting, I mean what good is an "unlimited plan" if you can't access any of the data? It takes me almost 5 - 10 minutes to download an app or to update an app on Sprint's network in westside PHX, hell it took 15 minutes to download a song from the PlayStore the other day! I don't expect network vision or LTE to change this because Sprint's LTE coverage will be spotty as well, as proved in this study. I will be taking my family plan and moving on.
14. lsutigers (Posts: 821; Member since: 08 Mar 2009)
Every carrier has deadzones, if Sprint doesn't currently work in your area then get rid of the service. No one, including Sprint, wants you to keep a service you are not going to be be able to use.
Everyone knows Sprint is upgrading their entire network at the moment, there are issues is many markets, others are working just fine. If you cant wait for Network Vision, you are better off switching. I don't know about this exaggeration of maps as I dont have 4G LTE yet, its coming by the end of the year, so I will test coverage map accuracy then. However, voice, 3G and WiMAX maps in my area pretty spot on. As mentioned above by another user, Sprint is under a lot of pressure to turn on LTE so who knows.
17. thunder18 (Posts: 137; Member since: 06 Aug 2009)
D/FW was one of the launch markets for Sprint's LTE and I have seen LTE once...from the 69th floor of the Bank of America tower...for a service that was supposed to be available from the end of July. Sprint, I love you, but you're making it harder and harder every day.
Sprint customer since 2001
15. axllebeer (Posts: 271; Member since: 05 Apr 2011)
I agree with much of the comments above as Sprints speeds in my area were so horrid not long ago that there was no point in even attempting to use it. I couldn't even load a mobile page without dropping signal 1 mile from the tower with full signal.
But they have made their improvements to 3g (and the 2g) towers we have here and things work good enough now. I average 1mps down and around 400kps up. Good enough from it not working at all. No carrier here has 4G of any kind so not holding my breath there.
But, here is my issue with Sprint:
There is NO EXCUSE for the amount of 2g reception that they are still running. They are rolling out 4G towers, for the 2nd time now, but so many places are left struggling on 2g. What the hell Sprint.
I really hope that they reband the Nextel network to their LTE as I was told soon after they shutdown Nextel.
18. KFear (Posts: 143; Member since: 06 Feb 2012)
I think that people need to remember that these are networks we are talking about. It won't ever be in every neighborhood with at least 2 bars or service. If it doesn't work out well for you, that's what your trial period is for. If you are an idiot and deal with crappy service for outside that period, then stop bitching.
I'm with Sprint because of the price, phone selection, and low dropped call ratio in MY area. Yes, i do use wifi most of the time. I realized all of this during my first 14 days, so i stuck with them.
No way i'd ever give my money to Verizon. T-Mobile is confusing and lower now in customer satisfaction. ATT, i have nothing against, but they are a tad more expensive than Sprint.
GO SPRINT! Every carrier has it's faults with different business ethics.
21. ibap (Posts: 772; Member since: 09 Sep 2009)
We left Verizon for Sprint when our daughter was in high school, because Sprint's phones (along with Alltel and T-Mobile) worked in her school, but Verizon flat-out did not. She was in so many extra-curriculars, it was a major issue. I once texted her when she was in the orchestra pit in the auditorium to tell her there was a tornado warning, when Verizon and AT&T were totally impossible.
Alltel and T-Mobile had their own coverage issues, so were a no-go for us. Now that she's off in college, we may make another switch, but we've never had dropped call problems with Sprint. We've got a Sprint femtocell at home, where Verizon never worked well, and T-Mobile is an absolute zero.
I detected 4G on Sprint in Columbus before they'd even announced it, and it is markedly faster than 3G, but that is only where I work, and not where I live.
24. Valanten (Posts: 19; Member since: 07 Apr 2009)
Sprint is lying not only about their 4G, but about their 3G as well! For example east of Illinois on a major highway like I 80, in Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania ... their internet speed is slower than 2G or in many places simply does not exist.
27. DSmithee (unregistered)
Soooooooo, I guess if I'm currently on Virgin, I'll be waiting for-EVAH for LTE here in South Florida?

How can we access Christ's calm and mighty power? What is the wisest route to experience the Almighty's assets on an ongoing process? When we daily die to self and come alive to Christ we position ourselves to be empowered by the Holy Spirit. So, strength and peace come from giving in to God, not giving up on God. As we surrender to our Savior Jesus, we win—indeed it's where we confess our weaknesses that we become strong.
"I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service. Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief." 1 Timothy 1:12-13
For example, unresolved anger loses its control when you admit its influence and exile its occupation of your heart. Shame from past experiences dissolves in the face of your heavenly Father's love and forgiveness. You are freed up to flourish in faithful living when you embrace God's ownership of your life. The Lord provides for His own. He stewards well His servants. Because God possesses you, He gives you exactly what you need.
Your ongoing strength and peace is a by-product of belonging to Christ. Resilience grows as your mind marinates on your Master Jesus' principles for living. Resolve is a rock of refuge when heaven is your hope. Peace is a significant allocation in your portfolio of faith that is generously given by your heavenly Father. Thus, thank Him for His help. And prayerfully look around you for others you can help find strength and peace in God.
"And Saul's son Jonathan went to David at Horesh and helped him find strength in God." I Samuel 23:16
Prayer: Lord I surrender to your ownership of my life, I trust you for strength and peace.

David J. Gross held his Nobel Lecture December 8, 2004, at Aula Magna, Stockholm University. He was presented by Professor Sune Svanberg, Chairman of the Nobel Committee for Physics. Summary: The development of the theory of strong interactions is followed from around 1960 with all the new data available at that time but no theory to today's description of the strong interaction, Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD), which is a theory that with one single coupling is describing all strong interactions. In contrast to electromagnetic forces, the strong force increases with distance and energy, a concept supported by observations from many experiments carried out between 1990 and 2004.

Unplugged - Yomi Kickstarter
By DrRandle 0 Comments
Fighting games meet poker in this extraordinary product.
(Editor's Note: "Unplugged" is what I call my series of articles for analog games. It's for card games, board games; really any game that isn't a video game. I hope you enjoy.)
If you're anything like me, you don't have a head for fighting games. You want to get into them, they're a blast to watch pros play, and they each have unique characters that you want to get to know. But you just can't get past opening every fight by leaping forward and throwing a kick as your most advanced fighting tactic. Well for people like me, there is a solution in the card game called Yomi.
Yomi is a card game that boils fighting games down to their most simple form: Rock, Paper, Scissors. Only in Yomi, it's Attack, Block, Dodge/Counter. You and your opponent pick characters, like you would in a fighting game, draw your opening hand, and then start laying out cards one at a time to see who can capitalize on who. What this does is break down tedious combo memorization and remove barriers until all you have left is the mental game.
In Yomi, it's all about reading your opponent's tendencies and trying to plan around them. The only thing that's random in this game is the cards you get, but just like in Poker, even a bad hand can bring you victory if you read your opponent's just right. You can try and lay out your opponent with a well-timed combo, or save up your aces for a super attack that devastates half their health in one blow. It's all up to your strategy!
It's a brilliant marriage of gameplay archetypes. Each deck plays differently and has different strengths and weaknesses. Each character has their own styles and movesets that makes playing them feel entirely unique. You'll even be rewarded with new ideas and combinations the more you dig into individual characters. You'll learn what works and doesn't work against your foes, and just like in a fighting game, you'll evolve your play style to overcome them.
Now to be clear, this isn't a review. It's also not me whipping out a glowing recommendation for a game I love. It's to let you know that this game is awesome, it's real, and it's second incarnation is currently on Kickstarter. I'm not normally one to link to Kickstarter, but this is something I already know works, and want to recommend to people as an excellent game to check out. If you're even remotely interested, you can try the game now, without spending a dime, by checking out the online version at http://www.fantasystrike.com/game/
Have you played Yomi before? What's your impression of it, whether you have or haven't? Do you like hearing about analog games? Feedback and comments are always welcome!

Women'S Bargaining Power In Household Economic Decisions: Evidence From Ghana
In this paper, the percentage of assets held by women within the household is used as a measure of women's bargaining power. The assets used in this paper include land, savings, and business assets. Using detailed household survey data from Ghana, I demonstrate that the share of assets owned by women has a significant impact on household expenditure decisions. This provides additional support for the notion that women's bargaining power can be measured, at least in some dimensions, and that women's bargaining power is an important determinant of household economic decisions. It suggests that other measures of women's bargaining power may also be useful for understanding household decisions.

Diving the Cape Peninsula and False Bay/Mushroom Pinnacle
The Dive site Mushroom Pinnacle is a small area of the reef in the Oudekraal area on the Atlantic seaboard of the Cape Peninsula, near Cape Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. Information is provided which may assist in planning Recreational and Research Scuba diving at this site, and links to photographs of marine organisms that have been found there. The pinnacle is a submerged granite tor (group of large corestones) between Geldkis and Justin's Caves. Access is relatively easy, and this is a good site for macro photography. ContentsName "Mushroom Pinnacle"The name was given by one of the first divers to popularise the site, and refers to the spreading overhangs reminiscent of fungal growths (admittedly requiring a bit of imagination, or not very good visibility). PositionS34°58.781' E018°21.521' Bearings: 74° magnetic to Geldkis near end 155° magnetic to NW edge of Sandy Cove point rocks 246° magnetic to back edge of Justin's group 216° magnetic to shoreward edge of Justin's group This site is in a Marine Protected Area (2009) AccessGenerally a shore dive. Park at side of road on outside of bend on City side of Twelve Apostles Hotel. An entry and exit point which is protected from the South West swell is at Sandy Cove. Alternatively the entry point for Justin's Caves can be used – the distance to swim is shorter, but there may be more kelp to negotiate, particularly at low tide, and the path to the entry point for Justins is more rocky and slippery. If done as a boat dive, the distance is slightly less from Oceana Power Boat Club slipway than from Hout Bay. FacilitiesThere are no facilities provided. Security of parked vehicles is no better than at other roadside sites. ConditionsUsually at its best after south easterly winds in summer but there are also occasional opportunities in autumn and early winter on windless days when the swell is low and short. Strong south easterly winds (offshore) can make it difficult to swim back to shore on the surface. The site is exposed to westerly swells, which may produce strong surge and poor visibility This is an area which sometimes has upwellings following a strong south easte wind, whch can produce clear but cold water DepthMaximum on the adjacent reef about 16m, top of pinnacle about 3m, 17m at sand patch nearby. GeologyThe reef is granite of the late Pre-Cambrian Peninsula pluton, and is surrounded by fine white quartz sand. TopographyGranite corestone boulders and outcrops. Spectacular pinnacle rising to within 3m of surface, with fairly flat top. The main rock is probably more than 10m high and about the same in other dimensions. The pinnacle rock rock lies on a lowish outcrop and a higher one , with a low and fairly cramped swim-through between. There are a number of smaller boulders and outcrops around the pinnacle group, which would be an amazing sight on a really clear day. There is a big overhang near the top and even bigger overhang about 5m x 3m with an air trap below it at about 9m which shelters a vertical face with a rich encrustation of sponges, corals and other invertebrates, both on north side. There is a fairly big cave/tunnel with 5 openings under the top rock from south to north, but lots of fragile organisms live in it, so do not go through as openings on the north side are quite low and you are likely to damage the corals, sponges and bryozoans. The pinnacle is surrounded by other granite reef of lower profile, which extends to Justin's caves to the south west. HazardsCold water, Sea urchins, Strong offshore winds may develop over a short time. Skill levelNo special skills are required, other than the ability to find a position using compass bearings. For a shore dive a fair level of fitness is required as there is a long swim to and from the site. Ability to navigate back by compass is recommended, particularly if there is offshore wind forecast PhotographyA good site for macro photography. EquipmentA light is recommended for looking into caves and overhangs, and because of the loss of colour at depth. A compass is strongly recommended for shore dives and the return should be done underwater if the wind picks up during the dive. Marine lifeVery colourful growth of invertebrates under the lower overhang, on vertical sides and in swimthroughs. A small kelp forest on top of the pinnacle helps with finding it, as the kelp is visible from the surface. Bobtails (a variety of tiny squid-like cephalopod) are sometimes seen over the sandy patches between the point and the pinnacle. Suggested RoutesUse the entry at Sandy Cove. Swim out between Geldkis and Justin's to top of the pinnacle. Find it by using GPS or bearings from Geldkis, Justins and shore rocks. Confirm that you are over a large rock at about 2 to 3m depth with kelp on top, and dive. The site is compact, and it is not important in what order you visit the features, as it is not particularly deep, and nost of the interesting areas are at much the same depth anyway. Be sure to visit the deep overhang and the cave, which are on opposite sides of the pinnacle. Return to Sandy Cove on bearing 155° magnetic , and when you reach the point rocks, keep them to your right on the way back to the cove.

Case | HBS Case Collection | October 2016 Turkasset: Bringing Customer-Centricity to Debt Collection Dennis Campbell and Gamze Yucaoglu In December 2014, in preparation for the year-end board presentation, Hilmi Guvenal (PMD 1993), shareholder and CEO of Turkasset, and Ilker Yoney, COO, sat down to discuss Turkasset's five- and ten-year strategic plans. Since taking leadership of the company in 2009, Guvenal had supervised Turkasset's growth from a single office of 20 people into a nationwide firm with over 300 employees at six different branches. By 2014, Turkasset had made a name for itself as a data-driven, customer-friendly collection agency. Nonetheless, the Turkasset board felt the company had managed to establish itself a customer-centric niche in the Turkish AMC market. However, Turkasset's overall collection rates on acquired portfolios remained largely on a par with those of the competition. So, board members had yet to confirm whether the culture of prioritizing the customer had led to increased shareholder value. The case describes the elements that help put together a customer-centric philosophy at Turkasset, an NPL management and collection agency in Turkey. The case describes the evolution the company went through in face of the pro- consumer era in financial markets and how it established itself a competitive angle through a customer-focus. The case provides the context for the students to identify the design elements underlying Turkasset's operational design and helps them explore the link between customer focus in a collections business and employee training and empowerment, as well as analytics and IT. The case challenges the students to deliberate whether the amount collected through a soft-collections method over time justifies the investments in customer-centricity.

Article | Manufacturing & Service Operations Management | Fall 2016 How Do Customers Respond to Increased Service Quality Competition? Ryan W. Buell, Dennis Campbell and Frances X. Frei When does increased service quality competition lead to customer defection, and which customers are most likely to defect? Our empirical analysis of 82,235 customers exploits the varying competitive dynamics in 644 geographically isolated markets in which a nationwide retail bank conducted business over a five-year period. We find that customers defect at a higher rate from the incumbent following increased service quality (price) competition only when the incumbent offers high (low) quality service relative to existing competitors in a local market. We provide evidence that these results are due to a sorting effect, whereby firms trade off service quality and price, and in turn, the incumbent attracts service (price) sensitive customers in markets where it has supplied relatively high (low) levels of service quality in the past. Furthermore, we show that it is the high-quality incumbent's most profitable customers who are the most attracted by superior quality alternatives. Our results appear to have long-run implications whereby sustaining a high level of service quality is associated with the incumbent attracting and retaining more profitable customers over time.

65th Primetime Emmy Awards claimed 17.6 million viewers, up 32% over last year, for the biggest turnout since 2005.
The 65th Primetime Emmy Awards got some harsh treatment from critics, but viewers didn't seem to mind.
The 3-hour-plus telecast, which aired on CBS this year, averaged 17.6 million viewers, according to early Nielsen estimates. That's up a big 32% from last year's 13.3 million (on Fox), and the TV awards' biggest turnout since 2005, when 18.5 million tuned in.
There's no obvious explanation for the upturn, although a big NFL lead-in — which immediately preceded the game — boosted the show's opening hour, even as ratings steadily declined throughout the broadcast. There was also an extended In Memoriam tribute that honored departed TV greats such as James Gandolfini, Jean Stapleton and — in what producers admitted was a ratings ploy — Glee's Cory Monteith, who died of a drug overdose at 31 this summer.
Rival broadcast networks offered a diet of reruns save for NBC's Sunday Night Football, which also aired last year. And cable networks competed more aggressively against the Emmys. The penultimate episode of AMC's Breaking Bad, which won the best-drama award, aired at 9 p.m. ET/PT, smack in the middle of the awards on the East Coast. So did the series finale of Showtime's biggest hit, Dexter.
Dexter drew 2.8 million viewers, the biggest audience ever for an original Showtime series episode, up from the 2.7 million who watched last year's finale. And Breaking Bad reached another high with 6.6 million, up from 6.4 million last week.
Despite the Emmy gains, the awards show doesn't measure up to the Oscars, Grammys or, recently, the Golden Globes and two major country-music awards shows. But they offer whichever network airs the awards a valuable platform for promoting new network series to TV fans on the night before the season officially opens. Since 1993, the four major networks have shared the Emmys on a rotating basis.
