Job security (JS) score 1 (unstable) to 5 (untouchable)
Health (H) score 1 (injury-prone) to 5 (durable)

Colorado Rockies

Closer: Rafael Betancourt
Understudy/Fill-in: Matt Belisle, Rex Brothers
Lurkers: Matt Reynolds

You caught a glimpse of Betancourt's problems (lack of opportunities and his own misdoings) last week. Following his June 20 botch job that put him under the microscope, he ran off three straight scoreless appearances (two saves), although he had to work around a pinch of trouble in the last two.

He slipped up again on Thursday, allowing a leadoff jack to Bryce Harper that tied the game and produced Betancourt's fourth blown save in 16 tries this year, including his third of the month. It was the third tater he allowed in 2012, and he's about on pace to meet last year's seven. In reality, he should be on pace to trump that; aerial vulnerability marks his chief weakness.

His four-seam potency has decreased notably, but thanks to his cutter, his K/9 (9.42) and BB/9 (2.20) remain elite skills, and he's still delivering a top-shelf swinging-strike rate (13.9, significantly above the Fangraphs average of 8.9). But his mistakes are costly and, as noted in our previous in-depth look, are reaching outfielders more frequently.

The Rox look like they'll man a booth at the July 31 flea market and still have plenty of positives to sell regarding the righty. Betancourt was on one exec's list of potentially available relief arms, per ESPN.com's Jayson Stark.

Now for a non-Betancourt bullpen: Belisle isn't as dominant as Brothers, but his lack of walks and pattern of deployment in eighth-inning holds that protect save situations indicates he'd be the first choice. Brothers has more upside for fantasy help with his plethora of K's, though, so he'd probably factor in on some opps, if not take over eventually.

Job security score: 3
Health score:
5

Mound meetings

Joe Maddon confirmed what most of the fantasy world assumed: Fernando Rodney will remain closer even after the return of Kyle Farnsworth (elbow), which could come this weekend. Rodney's revelation is for real, and while he'll probably come back to earth a tad, he'll have plenty of rope.

***

Though it may take more than Thursday's blown save to erase Brett Myers' real-life trade value, it didn't help that it marked the second time in his last five outings he gave up at least five runs. His velocity has been OK, but he has fanned just five in 9 1/3 June frames.

This time, only one of six tallies was earned, but the four hits allowed shows how hittable he's been lately: 6.75 ERA, 2.04 WHIP. He plunked Carlos Quentin to force in a run and gave up a grand slam to pint-sized Alexi Amarista.

There's a palpable chance Myers won't be a closer after July 31, but if he continues to struggle, GM Jeff Luhnow might find it difficult to ditch him. Plan for both outcomes with your own squad and refresh yourself on the Houston Astros' speculative train. The front car is Brandon Lyon.

***

Rafael Soriano's job security was boosted Thursday, and he didn't even pitch. The New York Yankees gave him the night off after he pitched four of the last five games. Joe Girardi tried to piece together a save chance with Cody Eppley and Clay Rapada.

When they didn't work, he was forced to go to David Robertson, whom he's trying to preserve because of his recent return from the DL; the righty appeared on Wednesday, as well. After the two setup guys each put a runner on - one from a throwing error - D-Rob surrendered a three-run homer to lose the lead and the game.

Robertson is worth owning everywhere, but it doesn't look like Soriano, despite recent struggles, is in imminent danger.

Outdoor design fads and tips to make your backyard and landscape stunning and interesting for your entire family. When thinking about making home improvements don't forget that spending some time on the back yard is also important. New outdoor wicker furniture is a popular selection for many interior designers whose goal is to make an outdoors space feel cozy and comfy.

Today's outdoor patio furniture is much much better in comparison to furniture of the past. Designed to extend your home into the outdoors, furnishings are designed to be hard-wearing, weather resistant, relaxing and beautiful. The design trend of taking interior concepts outdoors doesn't end with furniture. You can find flooring intended for the outside in the form of customized area rugs and outdoor flooring. This outdoor flooring is designed for sturdiness and can take punishment from all sorts of weather. Furniture and floor covering products for outside the house are also manufactured to be really simple to clean, helping to make maintaining your outdoor space much easier and more efficient.

Gazebos, pergolas, trellises and other structural options can also be utilized in your outdoor area to add elegance and also maximize function. Many people are using these outdoor landscaping components that were once incorporated for use with flowers and home gardens for outside designing. Some homeowners are buying outdoor curtains and developing personal settings which are special and offer exceptional privacy.

In addition to outdoor flooring, furnishings and drapes there are a number of other ways to incorporate beauty and personality to your back yard. Landscape design is a wonderful way to add a unique quality to your backyard. Water features like ponds, waterfalls and fountains can add serenity, beauty along with a soothing element in your backyard. Consider how relaxing it is to hear the drip of a waterfall or to observe your Koi dart and swim amongst the lily pads within your pond.

Outdoor lighting is an excellent way to add pizzazz to your back yard party. Use outdoor lighting to spotlight the beauty and design of your patio furniture, designer rugs, retaining walls, garden walls, water features and other unique outdoor and landscaping characteristics.

Your backyard really should be a source of pride and fun. Your yard provides others with a feeling of your identiity as well as the pleasure you take in your home ownership. Make outside your home as cozy and enjoyable as the rooms inside so that you can hang out together as a family and enjoy the warm weather while you're at it.

It seems that with our active lives we invest so much time indoors, in front of a Television set or personal computer. A great way to motivate your family members to spend additional time out of doors is to expand the comfort of your property outside. Whether your household likes to go swimming in your swimming pool, have a dip in your hot tub or simply rest with a cool drink in some comfy patio furniture, you're certain to enjoy summer months if you have a wonderful outdoor space to spend time in.

No matter whether you choose outdoor wicker furniture, a patio heater, fire pit, water feature our outdoor lighting, make your outdoor area your very own by deciding on a design and landscaping that demonstrates your style and offers comfort for yourself and your loved ones.

CarpetDeals offers a huge selection of carpet options at amazing prices. Whether you?re looking for a designer carpet brand like Shaw, Mohawk, Queen or Stainmaster Carpets you?ll find we have unbeatable carpet prices.

Sony Bravia KDL-55HX850


HDTVs in Sony's HX850 series offer lots of features, accurate colors, and a crystal clear picture, all in a stylish, energy- efficient frame. Despite their relatively low peak white output this edge-mounted LED line delivers very good image quality in both 2D and 3D, and the picture looks good from all angles. We tested the KDL-55HX850 ($2,599.99 direct), the 54.6-inch version of the screen. It?s on the high side for an edge-lit model, however, and you?ll have to cough up even more money for 3D glasses.

Design
Edge-to-edge durable Gorilla glass topped off with a slice of silver trim around the edge gives the HX850 a sleek, streamlined look, as does the slim (1.4-inch) cabinet. The arched shiny black plastic stand isn't as flashy as the metal stands used on the Samsung UN46ES6500F ($1,729.99, 3 stars) and LG 55LM9600 ($3,599.99, 2.5 stars), but it does a good job of supporting the 47-pound cabinet and lets you easily swivel the panel to the left and right. Power, Volume, Channel Up/Down, Input Up/Down, and Home (Menu) buttons are located at the rear of the cabinet on the lower right side.

Also at the rear of the cabinet are the HX850?s numerous I/O connections. Two HDMI ports, a pair of USB ports, an RGB (PC) video input, and 3.5mm PC audio in and out jacks all face left for easy access, while the composite and component AV jacks and a connector for an optional external speaker stand are flush-mounted outward. Down-facing ports include a cable/antenna jack, an Ethernet port, an optical audio output, and two additional HDMI ports. These connections can be hard to get to if the TV is hung on a wall.

At 7.9 inches, the remote is light and comfortable to hold. Due to the remote's compact size, buttons are on the small side, and none are illuminated. In addition to the standard buttons there?s a SEN key that takes you right to the Sony Entertainment Network menu. There?s also a Scene button used for choosing picture modes, an Options button for adjusting settings, and dedicated Netflix and Internet Apps buttons. Oddly, the remote lacks a dedicated 3D button; you need to go through the menu system to find adjustments if 3D content doesn't automatically display the way you want.

You get a variety of basic and advanced picture settings. Scene selections include Auto (automatically selects the scene mode that is best suited to the content being displayed), Auto 24p Sync (selects Cinema mode for 24Hz signals), General, Cinema (two options), Sports, Animation, Photo, Game, and Graphics (for displaying tables and charts). For most lighting environments Cinema 2 is ideal, but Cinema 1 significantly lowers the backlight level for very dark rooms.

Brightness, Picture (Contrast), Color, Hue, Sharpness, and Noise Reduction are part of the basic menu, as are CineMotion (for more natural looking film-based content), MotionFlow (for smoother moving images), and color temperature settings. The advanced menu offers a black corrector, a contrast enhancer, gamma settings, local dimming control, six white balance settings, and a whiteness enhancer.

The HX850 offers both wired and wireless internet connectivity and comes with a generous selection of Web services. The Sony Entertainment Network, which requires a subscription, offers Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited channels with an extensive catalog of current music and movies titles to choose from. In addition to plenty of Yahoo apps, you get more than 50 content channels that include sports, art, and music services, plus Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus, Netflix, You Tube, Picasa, Slacker Radio, Twitter, and Facebook. There's a Skype app too, but you?ll have to get Sony's optional $149 webcam to use it.

Performance
We measure luminance levels and color accuracy using images from the DisplayMate HDTV diagnostic tests, a Konica-Minolta CS-200 Chroma Meter, and SpectraCals? CalMAN software. ?The KDL-55HX850 turned in very accurate colors, as shown in the CIE luminance chart below. Reds and greens were in line, blues were only slightly off, but well within an acceptable range, as they had no effect on color quality and did not cause tinting in the grayscale or in skin tones.

After a basic darkroom calibration in which we disable all processing and dynamic picture features, the HX850 produced an unimpressive peak brightness reading of 94.82 cd/m2 and a decent black level reading of 0.04 cd/m2. The resulting contrast ratio of 2,370:1 isn?t terrible, but it doesn?t come close to the 22,819:1 we got from the Editors' Choice Sony BR-55HX929 ($2,899.99, 4.5 stars), which delivered a significantly brighter picture and much darker blacks.

Despite the low contrast ratio, the HX850?s X-Reality Pro processing technology delivered a sharp, detailed picture when set to Cinema mode (which takes advantage of the processing engine to optimize color and contrast). The BBC?s Planet Earth on Blu-ray looked fantastic; shadow detail in the opening credits (which shows the Earth from outer space) was quite good, and image quality was clean and sharp. What?s more, the picture maintained its color fidelity when viewed from an extreme side angle.?

The HX850 series uses active 3D technology, and requires battery-powered active shutter glasses to work. The set doesn?t come with glasses, but you can buy them direct from Sony for $49.99 a pair. I watched several 3D demonstration videos on Blu-ray, and the picture showed satisfying depth. Snowboarders in the Winter X Games stood out on the slopes, and spraying snow popped right out of the screen. I observed some crosstalk, especially on edges of highly contrasting objects, but it wasn?t obtrusive.

The HX850 used only 47 watts of power during my testing without any energy-saving features enabled, which is very good for a 54.6-inch LED backlit panel. By way of comparison, the 55-inch LG 55LM6700 ($2,299, 4 stars) used 67 watts, and the Vizio M3D550KD ($1,429.99, 4 stars) used 135 watts. The set earns our GreenTech stamp of approval for excellent energy efficiency.

Conclusion
At $2,600, Sony?s KDL-55HX850 is a bit pricey, especially when compared with our Editors? Choice for Budget HDTVs, the $1,430 Vizio M3D550KD. Still, it is $900 less expensive than the same-size LG?s 55LM9600, and outperforms that set in every way, except on contrast ratio.? Accurate colors and sharp image detail help atone for the HX850?s less-than-stellar contrast ratio, and its sleek cabinet and seamless glass covering will dress up any room. Sony should have thrown in a couple of sets of 3D glasses, though. As good as it is, the HX850 can?t stand toe-to-toe with its higher- performing (and slightly more expensive) sibling, the Sony XBR-55HX929.

Duranin battle poem from Tales of the past 3:
When shadow comes to claim our souls,
Some must rise - the light of old.

Names in stone, spirits of legend.
Deeds unknown, yet never forgotten.

These are the Duranin!

Of honor within and of fear without.
Remember them, when in hope you doubt.

Hi! I'm sorry, somebody already private messaged me and reserved the waterbender. Yes you can blood bend, and you don't have to do it on a full moon if you're a strong waterbender. Relationahip Status means if you're single or taken by another character. I'm sorry that it's been reserved. You can try one of the other characters who can tag along with Team Avatar.

Well, it's pretty much just like the TV Show, Avatar the Last Airbender. Except, instead of their characters you create your own. Right now a 100 Year War has started and the Avatar is the only one who can stop it. He is found, but he only knows the element of air and he has to learn the rest of the elements. Many people he meets will help him, many others will despise him. He must stay hidden and travel around the Four Nations to learn the elements along with his new friends who will help. His destiny is to defeat Fire Lord Ozai.

Boosting business productivity through cloud-based innovations for ...

This year, research firm IDC claimed that by 2015 the world?s mobile worker population will reach 1.3 billion, which is 37.2% of the total workforce. Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) will see the largest increase in total number of mobile workers with 601.7 million mobile workers in 2010, which is predicted to rise to 838.7 million in 2015.[1]

The continued increase in the mobile workforce along with employees embracing the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and consumerisation of IT trends create change as employees more frequently use their personal mobile devices for work purposes ? blurring the line between personal and work technology.

In an environment where employees are accessing business materials from their smartphones, tablets or personal notebooks ? small businesses need to ensure they have the infrastructure in place for remote or traveling employees to still get the job done.

mobile workforce cloud solutions

In our highly digital age, it?s important for small businesses to embrace the cost saving advantages that web-connected innovations have to offer. As employees use their own devices for working remotely or on the road, they can utilise cloud connected printing innovations to streamline their digital workflow and be more productive on the go ? saving both time and resources. With this technology, employees can print from any web-connected device, including smartphones, tablets or notebooks, by sending an email directly to an HP ePrint printer without needing to be in the office. This provides small business employees with greater freedom and flexibility on the road or when visiting other office locations ? while also maintaining a connected office environment. For example, by leveraging the company?s cloud-based infrastructure, a sales consultant can send a potential client a document on the spot without needing to wait until they are back in the office, therefore saving time and boosting productivity.

Historically, there has been high cost and energy consideration associated with variable business costs such as printing. However with the latest technological innovations, small businesses can select the right printing technology for their needs to keep variable costs down. For example, HP?s latest business printing innovations costs up to fifty percent less than competitive lasers* and use up to ?fifty percent less energy so resources can be re-distributed to other areas of the business.

Small businesses need to determine how they will approach BYOD and the consumerisation of IT. As people are business? greatest asset, owners need to create an environment that caters to their staffs? needs. By allowing employees to use their own devices while also having access to business infrastructure, businesses can enhance productivity and flexibility for their workforces and also develop strong mobile business practices. Businesses can leverage tools that utilise all the potential cloud based technologies have to offer ? cloud based printing, wireless connectivity, remote access to name a few.

With security set in place in the cloud, businesses can manage print security settings for their staff to ensure that printers only accept jobs from approved senders ? and also handle technology upgrades to ensure individual employees can still print remotely without needing to manage their own upgrades.

Businesses must build content digitisation into their workflow environments, maximising the on and off ramps? in leveraging digital content that travels through web-connected infrastructure to printed materials. Are you on board?

Twenty dead in Taliban siege of Afghan hotel; NATO blames Haqqanis

KABUL (Reuters) - Elite Afghan police backed by NATO forces ended a 12-hour siege on Friday at a popular lakeside hotel outside Kabul, leaving at least 20 dead after Taliban gunmen stormed the lakeside building, bursting into a party and seizing dozens of hostages.

The night-time assault on the hotel with rocket-propelled grenades, suicide vests and machine guns again proved how potent the Islamist insurgency remains after a decade of war.

The commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan said the attack bore the signature of the Taliban-linked Haqqani group that he said continued to operate from Pakistan, a charge that could further escalate tensions with Islamabad.

General John Allen's comments come days after U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Washington was at the limits of its patience with Pakistan over the existence of militant networks including the Haqqanis.

Pakistan says it is doing everything it can to fight militants on its side of the border and accuses Afghanistan of trying to shift the blame for its failure to combat the insurgency.

At the hotel, terrified guests jumped into the lake in the darkness to escape the carnage, Afghan officials and residents said. Up to 300 people had been inside the hotel when the attack began.

Afghan interior ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said 12 to 15 civilians, two hotel guards and a policeman were killed in the gunbattle at the Spozhmai hotel, overlooking Qargha Lake. Five attackers were also killed.

The attack, quickly claimed by the Afghan Taliban, again showed the ability of insurgents to stage high-profile raids even as NATO nations prepare to withdraw most of their combat troops by the end of 2014 and leave Afghans to lead the fight.

"Afghan National Security Forces and coalition military sources acknowledge that this attack bears the signature of the Haqqani network, which continues to target and kill innocent Afghans and blatantly violate Afghan sovereignty from the safety of Pakistan," General Allen said in a statement.

Blood was splattered over the hotel floor and the crumpled body of a man lay in the garden. Women and children were among the wounded.

"We heard a heavy explosion from a rocket-propelled grenade. We tried to escape, but we were surrounded by suicide bombers. We hid ourselves behind a tree until morning. God protected us," said Abdullah Samadi, 24.

The gunmen, Samadi said, had been closely watching their prisoners and searching for illegal stocks of wine.

"Around dawn they came closer to us and we had to jump in the water. We were there until 9 a.m. and then the situation got better and we slowly, slowly swam toward security forces," he said.

Sediqqi said the Taliban were using civilians as human shields to defend themselves and held about 50 people hostage late into Friday morning.

Elite Afghan quick-response police backed by NATO troops freed at least 35 hostages in an operation that only began in earnest after sunrise to help security forces avoid civilian deaths in night-time confusion.

The Taliban complained wealthy Afghans and foreigners used the hotel, about 10 km (6 miles) from the center of Kabul, for "prostitution" and "wild parties" ahead of the Friday religious day holiday.

Launching their annual offensive this spring, the Taliban threatened to attack more government officials and rich Afghans, but the hotel assault was one of few in which multiple hostages were taken since the start of the war, now in its 11th year.

President Hamid Karzai said attacking a place where people went for picnics was a sign of defeat for the enemies of Afghanistan.

"This is a crime against humanity because they targeted children, women and civilians picnicking at the lake. There wasn't even a single soldier around there," said General Mohammad Zahir, head of the Kabul police investigation unit.

Television pictures showed several people wading out of the lake onto a balcony and clambering over a wall to safety.

NATO attack helicopters could be seen over the single-storey hotel building and a balcony popular with guests for its sunset views, while a pall of smoke rose into the air.

NEW FACE OF INSURGENCY?

Soldiers and police fanned out around the hotel at dawn, arriving in cars and armored Humvee vehicles and taking cover behind trees flanking the lake and a nearby golf course.

Qargha Lake is one of Kabul's few options for weekend getaways. Restaurants and hotels that dot the shore are popular with Afghan government officials and businessmen, particularly on Thursday nights.

Guests at the Spozhmai must pass through security checks before entering the hotel, where tables with umbrellas overlook the water, but security is relatively light for a city vulnerable to militant attacks.

Violence across Afghanistan has surged in recent days, with three U.S. soldiers and more than a dozen civilians killed in successive attacks, mostly in the country's east, where NATO-led forces have focused their efforts during the summer fighting months.

NATO commanders, halfway into the process of transferring security responsibility to Afghan forces, are racing through training for the Afghan army and police, including holding basic literacy classes for recruits.

Well-planned assaults in Kabul in the past year have raised questions about whether the Taliban and their al Qaeda-linked Haqqani network allies have shifted tactics to embrace attacks on landmarks, foreigners and Afghanistan's elite, extending a guerrilla war once primarily waged in the countryside.

No, you need the non-treated bandaids as a control. Unless you can show that the same techniques were already used in almost identical conditions with untreated bandaids, in which case we can compare against that. It's not high-quality, but it's something. And unless the patients were told in this other study from which we're borrowing the control, that the bandaids have a radioactive pellet on them, it's not really testing all your conditions.

You don't know, in this case, whether it's the bandaid, the radioactive agent, or the placibo effect.

Having thousands or even millions of people later treated using a technique you haven't studied properly is what's really unconscionable, and this happens in medicine all the time.

NEW YORK (AP) ? Ann Curry showed up again for work at NBC's "Today" show Friday as the network maintained its silence on reports that she's about to be replaced.

Curry was in her familiar co-host role with Matt Lauer on Friday, helping introduce musician Kenny Chesney for a performance outside the show's Rockefeller Center studio.

NBC is reportedly discussing a plan to remove her as co-host a year after she replaced Meredith Vieira. After 16 years of unquestioned dominance in the morning, "Today" is in a tough fight with ABC's "Good Morning America."

Veteran Washington lawyer Robert Barnett, hired by Curry to represent her in talks with NBC about her future, also had no comment Friday.

It is making for another awkward transition at a network that prides itself on smooth ones, recalling the memorable few weeks shortly before Conan O'Brien was kicked out as host of the "Tonight" show.

When she appeared on the air Thursday less than 24 hours after reports she would lose the hosting job surfaced, Curry had one apparently unintentional indignity piled on. At one point as her picture filled the screen, a graphic beneath her face read: "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow."

The "Today" show had its biggest audience of the week on Thursday, just under 4.5 million, and its biggest margin of victory over "Good Morning America," according to preliminary ratings by the Nielsen Co.

Meanwhile, the Ladies' Home Journal released excerpts of an interview Curry had conducted earlier for the magazine's August cover story, where she said it was hard not to take it personally when questions about her performance surfaced during this spring's ratings competition with ABC. "Good Morning America" in April ended a "Today" winning streak in the ratings that stretched back to 1995 and has won three other weeks since.

"You worry, am I not good enough?" Curry told the magazine. "Am I not what people need? Am I asking the right questions. When people say negative things or speculate, you can't help but feel hurt."

She said she'd love to be on "Today" for 20 years. She started as a news anchor in 1997.
