Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella gestures as he speaks during his keynote address at the company's ''build'' conference in San Francisco Edwin Cardona Colombia Jersey , California April 2, 2014. [PhotoAgencies] Microsoft Corp is to give away its Windows operating system to makers of smartphones and small tablets for consumers as it seeks to make more of an impact on those fast-growing markets and counter the massive success of Google Inc's free Android platform.
Microsoft's move, announced at its annual developers conference in San Francisco, is an attempt to broaden the small user base of mobile versions of Windows, in the hope that more customers will end up using Microsoft's money-making Eder Alvarez Balanta Colombia Jersey , cloud-based services such as Skype and Office.
Up to now, Microsoft has charged phone and tablet makers between $5 and $15 per device to use its Windows system, as it has done successfully at higher prices for many years with Windows on personal computers. Hardware makers factor the cost of that into the sale price of each device.
That model has been obliterated in the past few years by the fast adoption of Google's Android system for phones and tablets, which hardware makers quickly embraced and now accounts for more than 75 percent of all smartphones sold last year. Apple Inc's iPhone and iPad account for most of the rest of the mobile computing market.
By contrast, Windows-powered phones held only 3 percent of the global smartphone market last year. Windows tablets have only about 2 percent of the tablet market Duvan Zapata Colombia Jersey , according to tech research firm Gartner.
Free money
Microsoft's move to make Windows free for some consumer devices bucks a central tenet of Bill Gates' original philosophy, that software should be paid for, which led to Microsoft's massive financial success over the last four decades. But analysts said it is a realistic reaction to the runaway success of free Android.
"Microsoft is facing challenges on the mobile and tablet fronts and need to change their strategy to move the growth needle, this is a good and logical first step," said Daniel Ives Dayro Moreno Colombia Jersey , an analyst at FBR Capital Markets.
Windows will be free for companies making phones and tablets with screen sizes under nine inches for the consumer market. A license fee will still apply for business devices.
It comes a week after new Microsoft Chief Executive Satya Nadella unveiled new versions of Word, PowerPoint and Excel applications for Apple Inc's iPad. A year's free subscription to Microsoft's cloud-based Office 365 service will be offered on the new devices running the free Windows, Microsoft said.
Both moves show that Microsoft is now more interested in gaining market share for its cloud-based services such as Office on any platform or device, rather than its traditional approach of putting Windows at the center of everything it does and extending its influence from there.
In the new era of mobile computing, Nadella acknowledged Microsoft's underdog status.
"We are going to innovate with a challenger mindset Davinson Sanchez Colombia Jersey ," said Nadella in a question and answer session at the developer conference. "We are not coming at this as some incumbent trying to do the next version of Windows, we are going to come at this by innovating in every dimension."
Nadella did not have a snappy answer to the question of what Microsoft's overarching mission now was, after it had achieved its original goal of putting a computer on every desk and in every home. Instead he elaborated on remarks he made last week about the importance of mobile devices as everything we do becomes digitized and connected to the internet.
"Our vision, simply put, is to thrive in this world of mobile first David Ospina Colombia Jersey , cloud first," said Nadella. "Our goal is to really build platforms, create the best end-user experiences, the best developer opportunities and IT infrastructure for this ubiquitous computing world."
SIRI rival
Also at the gathering, Microsoft formally announced it has developed a voice activated phone assistant feature called Cortana Daniel Torres Colombia Jersey , a direct rival to Apple's Siri.
The feature has been rumored for some months and a test version was demonstrated at the event by Joe Belfiore, a Windows Phone executive.
The Cortana service, which can take verbal instructions to search the Web, set alarms, make calls and a host of other actions Cristian Zapata Colombia Jersey , is still in beta testing but will soon be a standard feature on Windows phones, said Belfiore.
He announced that the latest version of Microsoft's smartphone software, called Windows Phone 8.1, will be rolled out to consumers as a downloadable upgrade in the next few months, and new phones running the software will be in stores by late April or early May.

VANCOUVER Cheap Baltimore Orioles Jerseys , Aug 16 (Xinhua) -- The first round of North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) talks got off to a rocky start in Washington Wednesday with the U.S.'s chief negotiator calling for a full overhaul of the 23-year-old pact, instead of simple tweaks.
Meanwhile, in Vancouver, trade experts cautioned that NAFTA talks could last many months or even years, as Canada, Mexico and the U.S. iron out new provisions and chapters of the treaty Baltimore Orioles Darren O'Day Jersey , which U.S. President Donald Trump has called the worst trade deal ever signed.
Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland remarked Wednesday that Canada aims to maintain NAFTA as an engine for economic growth and jobs. She said her team of negotiators aim to cut red tape for business, make it easier for professionals to work North America-wide and to create a pact that boosts rights for labor, women and indigenous people, while also doing more to protect the environment.
"I want to be clear that (Trump) is not interested in a mere tweaking of a few provisions and a couple of updated chapters," U.S. trade representative Robert Lighthizer said during opening remarks in Washington. "We feel that NAFTA has fundamentally failed many, many Americans and needs major improvement."
Two trade and economy experts at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver said in separate interview with Xinhua Wednesday that the tough talk from the U.S. signals what will likely be combative and drawn-out negotiation Baltimore Orioles Zach Britton Jersey , but both believed NAFTA will remain in place once the dust settles.
"This could really stretch out, and the U.S. wants to address trade imbalances, and that's going to be something that's unprecedented," said John Ries, an international trade expert at UBC, referring to Trump's complaints over trade deficits with Mexico and Canada.
"I think (NAFTA talks) will stretch out for a long time Baltimore Orioles Mark Trumbo Jersey , and maybe the year," he said, noting that Trump's complaints over trade deficits cut deep into the nature of free trade pacts.
He said Canada's desire to protect its supply managed dairy and poultry industries will also be a major sticking point.
"I think (the talks) could go off the rails, but I don't think that would mean no NAFTA agreement," Ries said. "I think the status quo will prevail."
If the U.S. decides to withdraw from NAFTA they are required to provide six month's notice, he said. "That has been threatened but not executed. Whether or not Trump can withdraw without congressional support is an unclear issue. We could have legal wrangling and the treaty could stay in place for many years to come."
He told Xinhua that the NAFTA talks could outlast Trump's own presidency.
"I just don't think that Trump has the political capital to do something that radical Baltimore Orioles Joey Rickard Jersey ," Ries said. "I'm not that pessimistic. It is my speculation and hope that it will be business as usual and we will have a pretty open trading environment."
Fellow UBC trade expert James Brander said much won't be done in the first round of talks in Washington.
He told Xinhua that "I'm expecting these first four days to just mainly deal with getting the proposals on the table in detail,"
"Donald Trump is impatient, but trade negotiations always take a long time," he said.
Brander is equally optimistic that a form of NAFTA will remain in place whatever the outcome of these talks may be.
"Today, just starting out, the United States negotiations have taken a very strong - almost pugnacious position - which is not positive Baltimore Orioles Chris Davis Jersey ," he said. "It's a very bad start," he said. "So, what if it does go off the rails?"
He said in that case, many layers of legal and constitutional questions remain in the U.S. over whether Trump could pull the U.S. out of NAFTA without the support of Congress.
"I think that probably the dominant position on that is that the president cannot do that," Brander said. "That would require congressional approval and there is no way that congress would approve that. Not even a Republican congress."

Women working for the BBC have complained they were paid less than men in equivalent jobs and have accused managers of misleading them about their pay to hide widespread gender discrimination at the public broadcaster.
The complaints by BBC Women Joe Dumars Pistons Jersey , a group of 170 staff, were sent to parliament's media committee, which is investigating BBC pay after the corporation was forced to disclose last July that two- thirds of on-air high earners were men and that some were paid far more than female peers.
The revelations caused a spate of bad headlines for the BBC and angered many female staff, who demanded equal pay for equal work. The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) has lodged a collective grievance to the BBC on behalf of 121 women.
"While individual BBC managers have been supportive Jerry Stackhouse Pistons Jersey , there is still a bunker mentality in some quarters and women have experienced veiled threats made against them when they raised the subject of equal pay," BBC Women said in written evidence to parliament's media committee.
The lawmakers are due to hear oral evidence on Wednesday from Carrie Gracie, the BBC's former China editor, who quit this month in protest over being paid less than her male peers .
Senior BBC managers Isiah Thomas Pistons Jersey , including Director-General Tony Hall, are due to appear before the committee just after Gracie .
Funded by a licence fee levied on TV viewers and reaching 95 percent of British adults every week, the BBC is a pillar of the nation's life, but as such it is closely scrutinised and held to exacting standards by the public and by rival media.
The BBC said in response to the evidence submitted by BBC Women and the NUJ that it was committed to equal pay and did not accept the assertion that it had not been complying with equality laws.
In the wake of Gracie's resignation and the public debate it sparked Ish Smith Pistons Jersey , six of the BBC's best-known male presenters and journalists agreed to take pay cuts. That was widely welcomed, but campaigners for equal pay said it did not solve the underlying issues.
BBC Women said gender pay discrimination affected every part of the organisation, not just high earners.
The group provided 14 individual examples of women in a range of roles as TV and radio presenters and reporters, all of whom described frustrating battles with managers after discovering they were paid less than their male counterparts.
"I have co-presented with a male colleague for many years ... I estimate he's paid around double what I earn for doing the same job Henry Ellenson Pistons Jersey ," said one of the unnamed women in a typical submission. "I raised the equal pay issue many times over the years, but nothing was done."

Israeli Arab rapper Tamer Nafar's politically charged lyrics have sparked the same kind of controversy that may have made his hero Tupac Shakur proud.
Nafar, from the pioneering political rap group DAM Terry Mills Pistons Jersey , has touched a nerve with songs like "Who's the Terrorist?" skewering what he and others say is discrimination against Arabs in Israel.
He has become a star among Israel's Arab population and Palestinians, but Israeli Culture Minister Miri Regev, a former military censor with a combative style Stanley Johnson Pistons Jersey , is not a fan.
She has singled him out for criticism, accused him of incitement and sought to have one of his recent performances canceled, helping make him a target of right-wing protesters.
Speaking to AFP in a recent interview Rick Mahorn Pistons Jersey , the 37-year-old, who wears a hoody, baggy pants and simple gold chain Reggie Jackson Pistons Jersey , dismissed her remarks, saying, "Regev is nothing but a government mouthpiece spreading racist poison."
Speaking after a concert in the Arab-Israeli city of Sakhnin attended by about 1 Mateen Cleaves Pistons Jersey ,000 people, many of them teenagers, he pledged to continue with his strident lyrics matched with infective beats.
Regev accuses Nafar of taking it too far Marcus Morris Pistons Jersey , reportedly saying he "chooses at every opportunity and before every possible audience to come out against the idea of the state of Israel and its existence as the state of the Jewish people."
She charges that some of his lyrics justify "terrorism."
Arab Israelis like Nafar are descendants of Palestinians who remained after Israel was created in 1948, and they currently make up around 18 percent of the country's population.
They tend to sympathize with the Palestinian cause and Nafar refers to himself as Palestinian.
Growing up in the 1990s in Lod, a mixed Israeli city southeast of Tel Aviv Kyle Singler Pistons Jersey , Nafar listened to Tupac, the provocative US hip-hop star murdered in 1996.
Nafar said he saw similarities between the African-American struggle for equality and the Israeli-Arab experience.
"The imagery in Shakur's videos was similar to our reality in Lod - how the police were chasing them in the streets," he said.
"I found out we had something i.
Maybe aside from some postseason pitching performances, it might have been the most exhilarating individual week and one day in major league history. You can call that an exaggeration, and maybe you’re more impressed by Johnny Vander Meer’s back-to-back no-hitters over five days in http://www.officialdetroitredwings.com/Adidas-Bob-Probert-Jersey 1938 or Ken Griffey Jr. matching Don Mattingly http://www.officialnikechargershop.com/trevor-williams-jersey-for-sale-c-70.html and Dale Long with home runs in eight consecutive games in 1993. But Ohtani pitched, he slugged, he dominated and the Angels went 5-0 in the games he played -- all in his first full week in the majors.
It was something else. As my colleague Christina Kahrl tweeted, this is Fernandomania plus Nomomania wrapped around the enthusiasm for the streaks of Griffey and Mattingly. It’s all coming from a two-way wunderkind from Japan adapting to a new culture and with an enormous spotlight of hype.
The A’s had no chance Sunday. In terms of raw stuff for a starting pitcher, Ohtani was right up there with Noah Syndergaard and Max Scherzer. He had fastball command, starting 15 of 23 batters with first-pitch strikes, hitting the corners or keeping it down in the zone. His slider doesn’t have the wicked side-to-side movement like Scherzer’s but rather works more like a change-of-pace curveball, spinning in at 80 mph to 82 mph. It was the splitter, however, that made the difference Sunday. Ohtani threw the splitter 34 times. The A’s swung 21 times. They missed 16 times. In his two starts, batters have missed on 26 of 37 swings Austin Czarnik Youth jersey against the splitter and are 0-for-19 against it. When you have to gear up for an upper-90s fastball and then Ohtani throws an 88 mph splitter that dives down ... well, good luck. The splitter is a popular pitch in Japan. Masahiro Tanaka has a good one, although he’ll hang it from time to time and he doesn’t throw as hard as Ohtani. Hisashi Iwakuma had a good one, but since his fastball topped out at 90 mph to 91 mph, hitters had a little better chance to adjust between the pitches. As Kahrl pointed out, Ohtani’s dominance was reminiscent of Mike Scott in 1986, when Scott combined a good fastball with a splitter (back when few pitchers threw one) to strike out 306 batters and win the Cy Young Award. Let’s start with the Yankees, who blew a 5-0 first-inning lead to the Baltimore Orioles and lost in http://www.authentictwinshop.com/authentic-40-bartolo-colon-jersey.html 12 innings as Jordan Montgomery could only get through four frames. After the Orioles scored in the top of the 12th, the Yankees loaded the bases Kyle Murphy Jersey against Brad Brach with no outs -- and Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton coming up. The Yankees’ win expectancy at that point was 75 percent. Instead, Judge grounded into the rare 1-2-5 double play, and Stanton struck out -- for the fifth time in the game, as he went 0-for-7. That’s already two five-strikeout games for Stanton, and if that seems rare, it is: In the modern era, only two other players have had two five-strikeout games in one season: Deron Johnson in 1964 and Ray Lankford -- who had three -- in 1998. Lankford’s games all were extra-inning affairs, and he had at least one hit in all three. Stanton is the first guy to have two five-strikeouts games with no hits in a season. All this Lance Lynn Jersey after not having even a four-strikeout game last season. Through 10 games, Stanton is on pace for 49 home runs, 97 walks ... and 324 strikeouts. Needless to say, Yankees fans booed Stanton once again as he ended the game. “They’re not going to cheer for that,” he said. “So what do you expect?” Meanwhile, the Red Sox rallied with six runs in the eighth inning -- after there were two outs and nobody on -- to stun the Tampa Bay Rays. It was only the fourth date in MLB history that either the Yankees or Red Sox blew a five-run lead while the other rallied from a five-run deficit (not including games against each other). Mookie Betts tied it with a two-out single, then Andrew Benintendi doubled in Betts. Darqueze Dennard Jersey Speaking of win probability, the Rays’ odds were at 97.9 percent before the rally started. The Red Sox have started 8-1 for the first time in franchise history. The Rays’ disastrous spring training has spilled over into the regular season with a 1-8 start. The Red Sox have opened up a 3.5-game lead on the Yankees, which means almost nothing this early in the season, but it does mean a little something. If the Yankees had a 52 percent chance (to Boston's 48) to win the division on Opening Day, maybe those odds now swing in favor of the Red Sox. FanGraphs has the Red Sox with a 49.7 percent chance to win the division, the Yankees at 43.5 and the Blue Jays at 6.7 (and don’t forget the Orioles at 0.1). After Sunday's game, Lovullo expressed he has the utmost respect for Molina and said he “used a poor choice of words” to which Molina took offense. My guess is it was something like, “That [expletive] is framing pitches.” Anyway, the Arizona Diamondbacks got the last laugh with a 4-1 victory, scoring three runs in the eighth off the St. Louis Cardinals' bullpen, as David Peralta hit a two-run homer off Dominic Leone and AJ Pollock homered off Mike Mayers. A potential breakout performer: Pittsburgh Pirates righty Jameson Taillon spun a one-hit shutout against the Cincinnati Reds -- opposing pitcher Tyler Mahle got the only hit -- as the Pirates improved to 7-2. Taillon, the second overall pick in 2010 (one spot ahead of Manny Machado), has seen his career interrupted by Tommy John surgery in the minors and then testicular cancer last season, so he’s yet to throw a complete season in the majors. He had a strong first half last season, before posting a 5.96 ERA in the second half. That could have been fatigue, but it seems there was some bad luck with balls in play, as well, as his strikeout-to-walk ratio and home run rate remained consistent. cheap jerseys from china wholesale nfl jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys from china wholesale jerseys

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville hit out at Paul Pogba for sporting a haircut featuring a streak of Manchester City blue, but he was Jameer Nelson Youth jersey forced to revise his opinion on his performance in an extraordinary Manchester derby.
City were on course to be crowned as Premier League champions as they stormed into a 2-0 half-time lead against an out-classed United, with Pogba coming under fire for a woeful first half display that lacked energy and commitment. City boss Pep Guardiola claims he had been offered a chance to sign Pogba in January, in comments that placed fresh doubts over the Frenchman's future at United amid rumours of a bust-up with Mourinho. Neville was clearly unimpressed Womens Antoine Bethea Jersey with Pogba's styling choice, with the haircut he had done during the recent international break not impressing the Sky Sports pundit."I like him, I think he's a good player, but he doesn't help himself," said Neville. "If you are a wise individual, you don't attract attention when things aren't going your way. Pogba doesn't work like that. He's got a big job to do, he's got to prove he's serious about his football. "Coming here with blue hair today, win it's fine, lose http://www.officialsaintsfootballshop.com/YOUTH+BRANDON+COLEMAN+JERSEY and that's going to get mentioned forevermore. It's ridiculous."What a difference in his second half performance though. First half, you can imagine what everyone was saying about him. Would he stay at United? Now that has all turned around." Mourinho also offered his response to Guardiola's claims he could have signed Pogba in the last transfer window, as he suggested his value had just increased."Guardiola says that, the agent denies that. One of them is saying the truth and one of them isn't," said the United boss. "I am not interested in which is the liar and which is the honest guy. "If the accusation from his agent is that he wants to go to other clubs, his price has gone up."Pogba offered his own view on a dramatic afternoon in Manchester, as he declined to comments on suggestions he was tempted to move to City. "I didn't want to lose against City, the loss from last season is still in my mind," he told Sky Sports. "If they won they are champions, for all the fans it would be like death. To lose against City and to see them celebrate, I couldn't let that happen. At half time in the dressing room we said we have Cornelius Lucas Youth jersey nothing to lose, 2-0 lets make it. "After a second half like this, we have http://www.officialcardinalsbaseball.com/authentic-18-carlos-martinez-jersey.html to do that all the time. If we did we would be up there with City, and maybe even in front." wholesale jerseys wholesale nfl jerseys wholesale nfl jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys
The men, women and children around the 18th green let out a roar that wasn't, you know, a roar. No, the majority of fans at Augusta National didn't want this decorated product of Augusta State to prevail. Did Team Reed notice? "I definitely feel that way," Karain said of the fans' allegiance. "But that's OK, because sometimes that's motivating, too."
Nobody is quite sure why the golfing public has little use for Reed. Perhaps enough fans have http://www.buccaneersofficialauthentics.com/Authentic-Robert-Mcclain-Jersey read about his misbehavior in college or have been turned off by his brash and boastful style. (He announced in the spring of 2014 that he was already among the world's top five players.) Perhaps some are aware that Reed has been estranged from his parents, younger sister and other family members for years over issues neither side of the divide will discuss for the record. Bill and Jeannette Reed, Patrick's parents, were expected to watch the Masters in their home only a few miles from Augusta National. They are not welcome at their son's tournaments, majors or minors. Asked if his family's absence made Sunday's triumph bittersweet, Reed said, "I'm just out here to play golf and try to win golf tournaments."
Patrick has been consistently unapologetic about almost everything in his life. "It's not a popularity contest out there," he told ESPN.com in 2014. Around the same time, his old coach at Georgia, Chris Haack, recalled one of his assistants scouting Reed in a high school tournament and returning with this report: "This guy hits it close all day long but never makes anything. If he ever figures out the putter, he's going to be dangerous." Patrick Nathaniel Reed just figured out the putter. "It's everything we've been working hard for," said Justine, his wife and former caddie. "A lot of people, for a long time, maybe don't say his name as often as they should. That's what I think. I've always thought he's a great player. That's what he did today. He showed his true colors." As it turned out, Reed's true color was pink, the color of his winning shirt. Reed wore Tiger Woods red on Sundays before his Nike deal gave him a softer look. It was the only thing soft about Reed's game all day. "He didn't let the roars and the crowd really get to him," Karain said. In the end, Patrick Reed quieted them down with his precision and poise. That was his biggest Augusta National victory Sunday -- the sweet sound of silence amid the towering Georgia pines. I guess there's shock, which seems like a half an hour and it's probably just seconds," he explained. "And then he came in the house and he hugged me and he's got that police vest on him, so you never forget that feeling. And then all I could think of was: 'How am I going to tell his sister? And how am I going to tell his mother?'" Jamie died of an overdose of heroin that had been laced with fentanyl, a http://www.authenticbruinsstore.com/david-krejci-jersey_c-424.html synthetic and far more potent form of the drug, according to an autopsy report and death certificate. For Ken, understanding how Jamie could overdose in a sober home environment meant exploring the dark path Jamie had traveled in the final weeks before his death, a journey that opened Ken's eyes to something he had never before considered: the existence of a corrupt side to the billion-dollar rehabilitation industry in South Florida, where federal laws can be exploited by people Brent Grimes Authentic Jersey who actually have no interest in Aaron Sanchez Authentic Jersey keeping recovering addicts clean. Jamie, his father came to realize, got caught in an insurance scam known as "The Florida Shuffle." "It's Chris Maragos Authentic Jersey one thing to have an addiction and not being able to overcome it because the addiction overtakes you ... but then when bad people get involved and they contribute to it, it makes you sick," Ken says. "Jamie has a very addictive personality, where he can't really say no, and he didn't really know his limit either, so he'd just keep doing it and taking more because he liked the way it made him feel," says Amanda Farber, Jamie's friend from both high school and Michigan State. Farber says that during Jamie's freshman year in East Lansing he started abusing cocaine and, more frequently, Vicodin and Xanax. It wouldn't be long before his family also recognized the troubling signs of his addiction. "You'd see him at night and trying to put a coat on and even struggling to get the arm in there. But you'd say to him, 'You high?' 'No, I'm not high,'" Ken says. Jamie's younger sister, Arlyn, said she, too, saw signs his addiction was out of control, like the time in a coffee shop near campus where Jamie could barely function. "He couldn't talk. He couldn't stand up straight, and I was embarrassed to have him there. I took him back to my apartment ... I couldn't handle it," Arlyn said. It was a disappointing development; she and Jamie had grown closer when she became a freshman at Michigan http://www.giantsfootballofficialprostore.com/giants+michael+strahan+jersey State during Jamie's senior year. Normally big-hearted and loving, Jamie developed a nasty streak. "The s--- that will come out of somebody's mouth who is on drugs is amazing. The crap that they'll say ... it's another person, just takes over the body," Ken says. When Jamie was home from Michigan State, he split time between his parents' homes. They had divorced when Jamie was 9. Jamie's mother, Lisa, experienced the same rage Ken did. "I can't remember what prompted it, honestly, but [Jamie] threatened me. He threatened to kill me," Lisa says. Jamie was always remorseful, she says, always sincerely apologetic after lashing out. Still, she says, she took the http://www.texansproshops.com/Kevin_Johnson_Jersey_Cheap threat seriously enough to remove the knife set from the kitchen counter and lock her bedroom door at night. More often than not, though, Jamie was a functioning addict, according to friends and family members. Frequently on the dean's list, he graduated from Michigan Authentic Gorgui Dieng Jersey State in May 2015 with a 3.5 GPA. He worked for a mortgage company in Downtown Detroit. He also was employed during the summer of 2015 as a camp counselor in Ortonville, Michigan, nearly an hour north of his father's house. It was there that Jamie reached his breaking point. http://123-club.com/oxwall/forum/topic/4787 http://drvr.de/index.php?forum-showposts-8105 http://bolancommune.com/bbs/dispbbs.asp?boardid=2&id=18341&star=1&page=1 http://faylyn.forumcity.com/viewtopic.php?p=1946#1946 http://callforservice.ning.com/profiles/blogs/adrian-peterson-trade-is-low-risk-desperation-for-the-cardinals http://consuelomurillo.net/oxwall/forum/topic/41426 http://flock.net.br/profiles/blogs/playing-alongside-redshirt-sophomore-moises-jaregui http://100trucspour.forumcrea.com/viewtopic.php?pid=27766#p27766

It was a game of great saves and awful defending, of fine attacking play and gripping twists in the narrative, and there was a redemptive ending for the enduring frustration that is Danny Welbeck. The drama was relentless and for neutrals there was the bonus of seeing the contest descend into chaos after Jack Wilshere’s clash with Jack Stephens in added time.
Yet Southampton departed with an empty feeling. They had teased their supporters with the rarity of a Shane Long goal and their pursuit of an equaliser during the second half had yielded a reward when Charlie Austin, who had entered the fray moments earlier, cancelled out Arsenal’s lead with his first touch in the 73rd minute. A precious point was there to be snaffled and, http://www.officialauthenticdolphinstore.com/Nike-Adam-Joseph-Duhe-Jersey.html having ruined their first league game under Mark Hughes with a wretched collapse against West Ham last Saturday, that unfamiliar sensation Southampton were experiencing was a surge of optimism. Yet the speed with which it was replaced by despair encapsulates why their hold on their Premier League status remains so uncertain. They had been level for eight minutes when Dusan Tadic allowed Alex Iwobi to cross for Welbeck, who had just produced a contender for miss of the season, to rise above Cédric Soares and head home Arsenal’s winner. “At that point you need to have clarity of thought to make sure you take something out of the game,” Hughes said. There are six games left for Southampton, who are three points below 17th-placed Crystal Palace, and Welbeck’s second goal was the cue for a loss of composure from Stephens, who accepted the bait when he felt Wilshere nibbling at him. Wilshere was in full wind-up-merchant mode as Southampton attacked and the frustration was too much for Stephens to bear. It was a naive reaction and the way the centre-back lashed out left Andre Marriner with no option but to send him off. Mohamed Elneny would follow him down the tunnel – Arsène Wenger suggested Arsenal could appeal against the Egyptian midfielder’s dismissal for pushing Soares – but the damage was already done. “Wilshere should have been sent off,” Hughes said. “Jack Stephens has reacted to being pulled back for about 20 yards. It’s not correct but it’s understandable. But if you’re going to send Jack off, you have to send Wilshere off for bouncing up. I thought I saw a definite movement with his knee towards Jack.” Wilshere escaped with a booking and Hughes was left to reflect on Southampton’s failure to take advantage of opponents whose minds were elsewhere for long spells. The visitors began with a cautious 5-4-1 system, with the return of Oriol Romeu giving the midfield a steelier look and Long foraging on his own up front. Yet they had players who could trouble for Arsenal on the break and James Ward-Prowse Youth jersey had an early effort hacked off the line by Héctor Bellerín. The opening stemmed from an error from Shkodran Mustafi, who was an accident waiting to happen in the heart of Arsenal’s defence, and Southampton’s reward arrived in the 17th minute. Sead Kolasinac allowed Soares to squeeze in a cross from the byline and Long nipped in front of the motionless Mustafi to prod Johnny Gaudreau Jersey his second goal in 46 appearances beyond http://www.officialindianstore.com/Bj_Upton_Jersey the exasperated Petr Cech. Wenger’s decision to rest seven players before his side’s trip to CSKA Moscow for the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday demonstrated where Arsenal’s priorities lie. Their challenge for a place in the top four is all but over. http://forum.ironsquad.pl/subdomains/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=537623 http://forum.ebook-ctecky.cz/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=1707 http://forum.ggn.bg/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=494202 http://dssbats.forums.com/softball-only/all-blacks%e2%80%99-jersey-style-of-skill-and-pace-1?replies=1#post-9137

Mercedes have been insistent Ordinarily making the podium from ninth on the grid would be a result eagerly accepted but for Lewis Hamilton there was an air of disappointment in doing http://www.brownsshopfootball.com/Danny-Shelton-Jersey.html so at the Bahrain Grand Prix after what had looked Joey Bosa Jersey for a time like a comeback drive that might have returned a remarkable Mercedes Satchel Paige Jersey one-two. The ambition was there but for Hamilton and his team‑mate Valtteri Bottas, who was second, their hopes were dashed by a bold Ferrari strategy call and a remarkable piece of driving by the winner, Sebastian Vettel.
Mercedes made their play in the form of opting to put both their drivers on one-stop strategies, when Ferrari were looking to bring Vettel home from pole with a two-stopper. A mid‑race switch to match Mercedes meant Vettel had to make his softer tyres last 39 laps to the flag, with a life span predicted by Pirelli of only 30. Had he had to pit again both Hamilton and Bottas would have passed him. By the end his grip was gone but he kept it on the island with exemplary control, holding off Bottas’s late charge and thwarting Mercedes’ carefully engineered plans. After a five-place grid penalty damage limitation was Hamilton’s goal and he was happy to have taken the 15 points but his disappointment reflects that Vettel now has two wins from two races this season and a 17-point lead over the British driver in the world title fight. Equally, Ferrari have shown that their race pace is strong. Mercedes have been insistent that their rivals were a real threat and the http://www.footballtitansofficialonline.com/Nike-Harry-Douglas-Jersey.html Scuderia’s performance at the Sakhir circuit suggests that once again this season is going to be a tight fight at the front. The Ferrari has performed superbly across the weekend in Bahrain, well balanced, with great pace and working its tyres well in the high temperatures. Vettel made the most of their advantage. His team’s jubilation will be coloured, however, by a serious pit‑stop error that cost Kimi Raikkonen his race and left a mechanic on the floor when the Finn was released before the left rear wheel had been fitted properly. Francesco Cigarini sustained a fractured tibia and fibula and will undergo surgery in Bahrain. The stewards imposed a fine of €50,000 (£43,000) for an unsafe release. The team use a lights system to indicate to the driver when to leave the pit box. “I go when the light is green, I didn’t see what Terrell McClain Youth jersey happened behind and unfortunately he got hurt,” Raikkonen said. Ferrari had already received a fine after an unsafe release for Raikkonen in practice and will likely now have to review their pit-stop procedure. cheap jerseys from china cheap nfl jerseys wholesale nfl jerseys wholesale nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys wholesale nfl jerseys
Pep Guardiola hinted at what was to come at a thunderous Anfield when he admitted Manchester City were the "perfect" opponents for Liverpool in the Champions League quarter-finals.
It was not an attempt at reverse psychology by Guardiola but an acknowledgement that if one team's style is built to destroy City's smooth rhythms and potency it is Liverpool's high-octane approach under Jurgen Klopp. And so it proved as all Guardiola's fears were realised and lightning struck twice for the Premier League champions elect in the first leg. The only defeat on their relentless march to the title, a 4-3 loss at Anfield in January, was followed by an even more emphatic beating on an atmospheric night of pure theatre that leaves Liverpool with a commanding three-goal advantage to take to Etihad Stadium next Tuesday. Liverpool and their fans celebrated wildly and understandably so at the final whistle - but the darker Byron Jones Authentic Jersey side on this night must not be ignored. City's team coach was badly damaged as it was 'welcomed' by Ryan Carpenter Jersey Liverpool fans. It was unusable for the post-match return journey after coming under attack from bottles, cans and pyrotechnics before the game. Liverpool swiftly apologised "unreservedly" and Merseyside Police - who condemned the attack as "appalling" - began an investigation. But what was arguably most disturbing of all was this so-called greeting had been flagged up on social media in advance of the game and http://www.broncosofficialfootball.com/Demaryius_Thomas_Jersey_Broncos drawn concern from City, yet was still seemingly impossible to stop. Like a swarm of bees - how Liverpool took control against Man City It is also impossible to measure what sort of impact it had on City's players - but this was an unsavoury and potentially dangerous incident which must somehow be avoided in future. Guardiola, who was asked about this potential incident at his pre-match media briefing, said: "Yesterday you explained - and I am new here - that it is going to Oliver Ekman-Larsson Authentic Jersey happen. Normally when http://www.officialbluejaysproshop.com/Ja_Happ_Jersey the police know it is going to happen they try to avoid it from happening. "I did not expect that from the Liverpool side, their people. One year ago something happened in Dortmund so we come here to play football and I don't understand this kind of situation."The bus is destroyed but I did not expect a prestigious club like Liverpool doing this sort of thing. It is not Liverpool, it is the people, but hopefully it does not happen again." It was the start of a grim and uncomfortable night for Guardiola and City at the hands of a manager and team that has the weaponry to become their most troublesome adversaries. wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys
