Welcome to the Scarred Lands WikiEdit
This is the Scarred Lands wiki, the source for Scarred Lands resources that you can help edit.
The Scarred LandsEdit
The Scarred Lands is a d20 fantasy/post-apocalyptic campaign setting published by White Wolf Games under their Sword and Sorcery brand. It draws very heavily on Greek mythology and presents a world that has been devastated by a war between the gods and their progenitors, the titans. The gods deemed the titans a threat due to their destructive and capricious nature, but discovered that the titans's essence were tied to the land and could not be separated. So instead of destroying the titans they settled for simply imprisoning them, leaving the followers of the titans with hopes of some day freeing their masters and taking revenge on the gods.

Banned Books Week events include lectures and Mark Twain impersonator
Paulette Kilmer remembers, when she was a kid, buying stacks of books with the $10 her father split between her and her brother, and having her mother ask them questions about the plots and characters.
"I think that's one reason why I'm a professor," she said. "It started at my mother's knee."
The communication professor's love of books is part of what drives her involvement in UT's Banned Books Week.
For the event's 15th year, the university will host a vigil at Sullivan Hall and a Mark Twain impersonator at Libbey Hall. Both the vigil and performance will focus on censorship and its effects on music, movies, television and, of course, books.
As part of the vigil on Thursday, Oct. 18, a series of lectures and presentations devoted to censorship will occur on the third floor of Sullivan Hall from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Speakers will include university faculty and students, as well as a handful of community members. Kilmer said presentations will last for 20 minutes and that speakers selected their own topics.
"It's enough [time] to get a little discussion going with the audience, but it's not long enough to be like sitting through a lecture," she said.
Free books, door prizes and coupons from Ukazoo Books will be passed out during the vigil. Free food and drinks will be provided throughout the day.
"Mark Twain Night" is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 19 at Libbey Hall. Twain-impersonator Alan Kitty's performance will begin at 7 p.m.
Kilmer said bringing Kitty to the university was a special and relevant way to celebrate the event's 15th anniversary.
When it comes to modern censorship, Kilmer said the availability and ease of information provided by technology causes most people to overlook the common practice.
According to the American Library Association, both modern and classic works, including "The Hunger Games" and "To Kill a Mockingbird," were among the top 10 most challenged titles of 2011.
Kilmer said the mindset of censoring can be dangerous when taken to extremes, citing past examples of dictatorships and religious institutions burning books.
"The right to read is the right to think," she said.
Kilmer has followed this philosophy to keep the event going these last 15 years, which was originally held at Thackeray's Books, a now defunct, local bookstore located in Westgate Village Shopping Center.
Kilmer said a committee of university professors began planning the event in November of last year, and contacted lecturers and sponsors for the event throughout the year.
This year's committee consisted of Linda Smith, associate dean of the Honors College; Cynthia Ingham, assistant professor of history; Elaine Reeves, associate lecturer of general libraries; Arjun Sabharwal, assistant professor of general libraries; Glen Sheldon, associate professors for Honors Program; and Sumitra Srinivasan, associate professor of communication.
"We have a real good committee," Kilmer said. "I couldn't do anything without their help."
The event has also attracted a diverse group of sponsors throughout the years, including The Independent Collegian.
Sponsors for this year's event include numerous university departments and clubs, along with several local Toledo businesses.
"We're very lucky with the support we receive," Kilmer said. "We would not be able to do near what we do without the [sponsors'] help."
UT's Banned Books Week Vigil begins Thursday, Oct. 18, at 9 a.m. in Libbey Hall, with presentations running until 5 p.m. The event is free to attend, and food and drinks will be provided throughout the day. "Mark Twain Night," featuring Mark Twain impersonator Alan Kitty, is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. Tickets are $7.50 for students. They can be bought in group packages at utoledo.edu/boxoffice or 419-530-2375.

Last week more than 1,300 business, labor, environmental, and civic leaders -- including some 100 Sierra Club staff, volunteers, speakers, and community partners -- took part in the seventh annual Good Jobs, Green Jobs Conference in Washington, D.C.
The conference, whose motto is, "Where Jobs and the Environment Meet," focused on repairing the infrastructure Americans rely on every day -- our water systems, electrical grid, transit, road, pipelines, and schools -- with an eye toward environmental sustainability and family-sustaining jobs that cannot be outsourced.
The Sierra Club is one of the primary sponsors of the conference, along with the BlueGreen Alliance, the United Steelworkers (USW), and Alcoa.
Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune (below) was among the keynote speakers on the conference's opening day. "We need to recreate our economy with clean energy that takes the place of fossil fuels," Brune said. "Everybody here knows it's going to be a challenge to do that. But we must. The ultimate rewards for all of humanity when we achieve that goal will be greater than we can imagine. The Sierra Club is 100 percent committed to creating an economy that is 100 percent powered with clean energy."
BlueGreen Alliance Executive Director David Foster (below), who emceed the conference, said that "to some of our critics, 'good jobs, green jobs' is a quaint notion; that you can have both good jobs and a clean environment. But you can't solve a 21st-century problem like climate change with the 19th-century infrastructure that caused it. The theme of this year's conference -- Protect, Produce, Prosper -- sums it all up: We can create all the jobs we need and fix our environmental problems by repairing America."
A secondary theme that ran through the conference was the growing income disparity between the very wealthy and all other Americans, and how the middle class will benefit from the creation of good, green jobs. "One thing 20th-century America taught the world is that a lot of wealth in a few hands is never going to be as productive as a lot of wealth in a lot of hands," Foster said.
Also speaking at the opening plenary session were USW President Leo Gerard (at left), AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar.
Gerard recalled that when the USW and the Sierra Club joined forces to create the BlueGreen Alliance seven years ago, their shared concerns were carbon emissions, chemical safety, and trade. "Then you come back seven years later and you see what we've done," he said. "The membership of the affiliate organizations in the BlueGreen Alliance represents 14 million Americans. Imagine what we could do to advance our agenda if we mobilized that membership."
Trumka (below) followed, saying that the biggest challenges facing our society are climate change and restoring economic prosperity. "I'm here on behalf of the labor movement to tell you we remain committed to stopping runaway climate change," he said. "There is no other path for our children and grandchildren. We must keep up the fight for generations to come. The people who want to solve climate change must engage with the people whose jobs are at stake. The challenge of climate change can only be solved when we find a formula of clean energy that meets every day people's needs."

In anticipation of next week's High Line Honey Day, we sat down with one of our favorite beekeepers to talk about honey (what else?). We invite you to join us on Wednesday, July 31, for a fun afternoon with artisanal beekeepers and special honey-infused offerings from the High Line' s food vendors. Until then, Chase Emmons, managing partner & apiary director at Brooklyn Grange Rooftop Farm, tells us the "buzz" about urban beekeeping. He shares how he shed his corporate suit—preferring jeans and a tee—to spend his days beekeeping.
Earlier this week you may have seen the New York Times piece "High Line's Best-Kept Secret: It's a Fast Commute," which points out how many local residents use the High Line as a means to get to work. One of our favorite ways to get up and down the West Side of Manhattan—other than walking the High Line, of course—is on two wheels along the city's great bike lanes.
If you don't have your own bike, you no longer have an excuse. Citi Bike, New York City's new bike-sharing program, has stations all over the city to pick up or drop off a bike, including six stations directly under the High Line, and many more in the neighborhood. The New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) reports that biking in the city is at an all-time high, even re-tweeting Citi Bike's recent report of 100,000 rides within three days!

From her early days of cooking in college to working abroad in a gourmet restaurant, Georgia Flaum of Terroir at the Porch has mastered the art of making people happy through delicious food and friendly service. In this series of Faces Behind the Food, we sit down with Georgia to hear why she loves her work on the High Line. For hours and locations of all of our vendors, see High Line Food.
Tell us about yourself and your passion for food and drink, including any fun or unusual facts that we might not know. Any secret talents, perhaps?
I come from a big foodie family, but I didn't become interested in cooking until I had my own kitchen junior year of college. That year, I started a food blog and decided I'd travel as much as possible to experience new cuisines. When I studied abroad in Israel later in the year, I participated in an internship program in central Jerusalem where I worked in the kitchen of a gourmet restaurant called Eucalyptus. I didn't get paid, and I didn't speak Hebrew (hardly anyone spoke English), but I did learn a lot about the flow of a restaurant.
When I graduated from Wesleyan University two years ago, I knew I wanted to move to New York City and work in the food industry. But I had no idea where to start. I was intimidated to work in a restaurant kitchen with little experience and formal training, so I started as a busser at Hearth—Terroir's flagship restaurant—to experience the city's restaurant scene. I worked my way up in various customer-facing roles. Now I run Terroir at the Porch on the High Line as general manager.
On June 24, Paul Levy of Center City District and Leah Murphy of Interface Studio and Friends of the Rail Park came to the High Line to discuss the future of Philadelphia's Reading Viaduct. To discover what's in store for this former city rail line, view our full-length video of the event.
For more information on the Viaduct, see "Atop Its Predecessor, Laying Out Future Options for Philly's Reading Viaduct" by our media partner Next City.
"Beyond the High Line: Transforming Philadelphia" is part of an ongoing series of free talks to educate and inspire conversation about the transformation of the country's out-of-use industrial infrastructure into public open space. Join us on Monday, September 23, for a discussion on Staten Island's Fresh Kills—a former landfill that is being redesigned as a public park.
The High Line's planting design is inspired by the self-seeded landscape that grew up between rail tracks after the trains stopped running in the 1980s. Today, the High Line includes more than 300 species of perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees — each chosen for their hardiness, adaptability, diversity, and seasonal variation in color and texture. Some of the species that originally grew on the High Line's rail bed are reflected in the park landscape today.
This week we share with you one of our gardeners' current favorites.
With less than a month left to see Virginia Overton's beloved pickup truck before it says its goodbyes, we thought this was a perfect time to spotlight Overton's High Line Commission in relation to her prolific career.

Four High Line Volunteer Photographers joined us for an evening photo walk last Friday, July 12, to document Manhattanhenge, scheduled to occur that night. Mother Nature had other plans as thick gray clouds gathered over the city that afternoon and a steady rain drenched the park. Undeterred by the weather, we walked down the High Line – all trying to keep our cameras and ourselves dry – capturing some fun, unexpected pictures along the way. High Line contributing photographer, Eddie Crimmins caught this intimate conversation between two visitors equally undiscouraged by summer rain in the Tenth Avenue Square, on the High Line at West 17th Street. Too see more photos from the evening visit the High Line Flickr Pool.

Learning to bake cookies alongside his nurturing mother, Julian Plyter of Melt Bakery unknowingly discovered his life'swork . In this installment of Faces Behind the Food, Julian shares memories from his childhood, when he first learned to roll out cookie dough and used fruit picked ripe for his cookies. This early introduction to baking led Julian to pursue baking professionally and open up the beloved Melt Bakery. For hours and locations of all of our vendors, see High Line Food.
Tell us about yourself and your passion for food and drink, including any fun or unusual facts that we might not know. (Any secret talents, perhaps?)
I have been an avid supporter of local food since I was a kid, picking peaches in my great-grandfather's backyard, picking cherries with my mom from our own tree, and planting and cultivating gardens with my family. I am also a classically trained pianist, although it's been a while; not sure if there's any talent left in that pool! My favorite composer to play was always Chopin. My paternal grandmother was actually my first piano teacher, and she gave me many of my beloved cookie recipes as well.
The earliest memory I have is rolling cookie dough at the age of four using old-fashioned tools like cherry pitters and wooden spoons belonging to my grandmother. We had orange-and-green wallpaper in the kitchen that I can still visualize, too. My mother inspired my love of baking. I've spent countless hours beside my mother learning to replicate her recipes, but no one can make better cinnamon buns than she. In our hometown, she also reigns as queen of homemade pies. The classic Melt cookie is a chocolate-chip walnut, adapted from one of my mother's old recipes.
Friends of the High Line is excited to present its first ever Teen Night this Thursday, July 18, at 6:00 PM in the 14th Street Passage. This boardwalk-themed evening is the first of two fun events planned by our very own Teen Arts Council, or TAC.
Our TAC team is a group of ten local teens we've hired to plan two awesome party nights for New York City teens this summer. For the past five months they have met on a weekly basis—attending other teen events around the city and meeting with other teen groups in preparation of producing their own event. And the night has finally arrived!
This Thursday's event, High Line Boardwalk, will include carnival games, tasty treat, great music by DJ empanadamn, and even some fortune telling.
Whether you want to challenge yourself at the dunk tank, dance into the evening, leave with some hard-earned prizes, or enjoy the tasty, free food, just make sure not to miss this fun event. High Line Boardwalk will begin at 6:00 PM and ends at 9:30 PM.
If you'd like to make a music request, please share it on the Facebook event page.
The High Line Green Corps program saw its first graduation on Saturday, June 28, with proud mothers and siblings in attendance. "How can we be better neighbors?" was the thoughtful question leading to the creation of the High Line's Green Corps program—an intensive six-month paid program for local teens that increases understanding of environmental science and green jobs, while also strengthening the relationship between the High Line and its young community members. This year's graduating class was especially passionate and lively—a testament to the program's success.
The graduates shared highlights of the program in between eating a delicious spread of rice and beans and turkey empanadas cooked by the teens. Graduate Beatrice Ramos—with her young sister listening—spoke about the new sense of responsibility the program instilled in her. "I recycle now and know the benefits of keeping my city clean," she said. Echoing her sentiment, graduate Raquel Rosado shared, "I've learned to love plants. Now it's my job to care for them."
The program's instructors, Gahl Shottan and Jordan Aponte, aim to do precisely that—encourage young teens to see themselves as environmental stewards of the city, whether they are on the High Line or in any other green space. The program focuses on: green infrastructure, urban horticulture, and agricultural sustainability- including the relationship between food and health. Students learn through field trips, presentations with guest speakers, and team hands-on projects. This year's Green Corps weeded the garden at a local elementary school, P.S. 33, planted bulbs in nearby tree pits, and cut back over a quarter-mile of plantings as part of the High Line's annual Spring Cutback.
Green Corps began last year as a week-long alternative spring break, through generous support from the Nathan Cummings Foundation. Over 60 applicants, many from local NYCHA complexes, applied for the ten spots in this pilot week. Friends of the High Line realized there was a need for this kind of programming. One graduate from last year, Carla Hernandez, went on to enter the Green City Force's Clean Energy Corps. Through support from the Ford Foundation and the Palette Fund, the breadth and scope of this year's program has expanded.

Charles Chandler did not grow up eating pulled pork. "In fact, we didn't even have it the first couple years of Chandler's, but people kept asking for it," says the wiry fellow with just a touch of gray in his hair, a Vols cap on his head, and a gleam in his eye.
The barbecue that's now a must-have menu item is pretty much the only thing at Chandler's that hasn't been heavily influenced by Charles' or wife Gwen's days of growing up in Sevierville, or their close-knit extended family. Like the more than 300 gospel CDs that play on shuffle, the Williams Brothers and Willie Neal Johnson being particular favorites. "I've always played gospel all the time," says Charles. "And that's what I want to listen to. One day Jennifer [Braxton, his younger daughter] was here on her own and she changed the music to some rock. I had to let her know how serious gospel music is to me, and she's never messed with the system again."
The couple, who have been married 35 years, opened the restaurant after Charles' 30-year career as a mechanic at Oak Ridge National Laboratories and Gwen's layoff from Levi's. They work together every day, and drive back and forth to their East Knoxville home together, too. The serene, gentle woman and her calm, low-voiced husband met through Gwen's brother James Parton, who was Charles' best friend (and along with his sister, a distant cousin to Dolly Parton, whom he attended high school with). "Gwen was around us some, and one day I looked at her and thought, 'She's awful pretty,' and things just blossomed from there," says Charles.
James Parton is still his best friend and can be seen behind the counter picking up slack every now and then; and Gwen's other brother Jeff also is on the scene. "He'll come to work sometimes so I can go home," says Gwen with a calm nod. "Anything I've got my brother can have. He's a good brother."
Charles and his brother Roger Chandler still own family land deeded from the white Chandlers to their recently freed slaves. "I'm from the country," he says. "I could sit down right now and milk a cow or harness a mule."
Growing up in Sevierville in the '50s and '60s, that was a different age for black people, says Charles, but he says it without rancor. "Like all the others, there were places we couldn't live. My grandfather was a contractor, and he built the two theaters there, but if we went to the movies, we had to sit in the balcony. I used to work in the restaurant my uncle owned, the Mountain House. My mom and cousin worked there, too, but we couldn't go into the dining room when there were customers."
What a contrast with the Chandlers' own restaurant, a bustling, joyous melting pot of football players, neighborhood families, politicians, movie stars, black, white, old, young, wealthy, scraping to keep it all together. They're there for the ribs, the plate lunches, the mashed potatoes, the greens, and have been coming around for a decade now—Chandler's 10th anniversary was May 19.
"It's been a ride," says Gwen. "And it's been a joy, really. We've met people in here you'd never meet in your life otherwise." Bill Haslam came and worked the line so he could meet people during his first run for mayor. On his turn to feed the Senate, Sen. Lamar Alexander imported Chandler's food, sending an aide to drive from Knoxville to D.C. because it couldn't be shipped. This past week, new Vol Coach Derek Dooley dropped by and ate fried chicken. His photo's on the way, and will find a place of honor, maybe near the signed photo of Tennessee Supreme Court Justice Gary Wade on the wall alongside framed prints of holy names for Jesus and a baptism in a Southern black church.
"I grew up with Gary, and I'll never forget his mom and dad," says Charles, his voice dropping low. "They owned a dry goods store and gave me my first credit when others would have bid me fare thee well."
The restaurant is closed just four days a year. When asked what she does for fun, Gwen's husband answers for her with a ready smile: "Bake!"
Daughter Stephanie Thompson is in charge of the catering arm, while Jennifer has been deputized to initiate new projects like an online store featuring Chandler's T-shirts, a line of bottled sauces, and maybe food carts on University of Tennessee game days. The two daughters will eventually run the entire show.
Jennifer's son is named Chandler. After college, she met her husband in Philadelphia, and then he followed her when she moved back here. "Some say he moved for love," she says, her easy humorous tone the same as her father's. "But I don't know, it might have been the food."

There's good news on the injury front for the Buffalo Sabres heading into Thursday's opener of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Coach Lindy Ruff said today he's "optimistic" that center Tim Connolly will be ready for Game One against the Boston Bruins after the center skated on his own over the weekend for the first time since he was injured late last month. And Ruff is not ruling out Jochen Hecht or Drew Stafford either.
So where does that leave rookie Tyler Ennis?
Said Ruff: "We'll have to make that decision based on Hecht and Connolly and Stafford being available to play."
Ruff also said he's not made any decision regarding Chris Butler and Andrej Sekera. The struggling young defensemen have been alternating in recent games.
Ruff held his 15-minute briefing in playoff mode -- behind a podium and in front of a flashy black-and-blue Stanley Cup Playoffs banner.
"I'm excited to be back in. It's the best time of the year," the coach said. "The weather outside is nice. Just the atmosphere. I'm looking forward to getting after it here at home with our fans. The visions of the plaza being filled up with people, driving here to the rink and obviously parking lots with people.
"Saturday will be a tremendous day here with an afternoon game. It's going to be great. It's great to be back in. You've got to be excited to be back in again because a couple years of being absent really hurt."
--Mike Harrington

The Ivan L. Boyd Arboretum consists of the six-block Baldwin City campus proper and was dedicated Oct. 15, 1978.
The arboretum is named for a former Baker biology professor who was instrumental in bringing many of the trees to campus.
The arboretum contains specimens of 114 tree species.
A large contributor to the beauty of Baker's campus is the numerous trees that flower in the spring, provide a shady canopy in the summer and turn brilliant gold, orange and red in the fall.
Check out the Google Map below for a virtual tour of the arboretum. If you visit campus to tour the arboretum, be sure to download the walking tour map.

Ivan L. Boyd Arboretum
Believe it or not, back in 1858, when Baker University was founded, this entire area was prairie. The few trees were along the several branches of Tauy Creek that snake through Baldwin City. There were no trees on the Baker campus. Today the largest and probably oldest trees on campus are the Northern Catalpas. One of these grand old trees, which had to be removed recently, was more than 120 years old and was most likely planted sometime around 1882, the year Centenary Hall was built. Centenary Hall is no longer standing but there are still 14 of these trees with diameters of more than 30 inches.
The Ivan L. Boyd Arboretum consists of the six-block Baldwin City campus proper and was dedicated Oct. 15, 1978. Boyd came to Baker University in the fall of 1941. He was a professor and the chairman of the biology department until 1972. He continued to teach as an emeritus faculty until his death in March 1982. Boyd was instrumental in planting most of the trees that are on the campus today. The arboretum contains specimens of 114 tree species. Perhaps the rarest species on campus is the Ozark Chinkapin. This species is native to the Ozarks and is considered a threatened species in Missouri.

Following my previous post on the launch, I just rolled Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on an Amazon EC2 t1.micro instance (not something you expect to run a database server on, for sure – 1 vCPU, 0.613GiB RAM). If you do an apt-cache search mysql you get 435 return result sets with the default configuration (trusty: main & universe).
If you do apt-get install mysql-server, you get MySQL 5.5. You enter the password of choice, and before you know it, MySQL is installed (a SELECT VERSION() will return 5.5.35-1ubuntu1).
Next you decide to install MariaDB. I run an apt-get install mariadb-server. It pulls in libjemalloc (for TokuDB) and I expect future releases to ship this engine by default. You enter the password, and you get a new message (as pictured).
I verify my test database that I created exists. It does. A SELECT VERSION() returns 5.5.36-MariaDB-1. The innodb_version returns 5.5.36-MariaDB-33.0.
I'm curious about MySQL 5.6 now. So I run apt-get install mysql-server-5.6. Not so straightforward.start: Job failed to start invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing package mysql-server-5.6 (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Setting up mysql-common-5.6 (5.6.16-1~exp1) ... Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.19-0ubuntu6) ... Errors were encountered while processing: mysql-server-5.6 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Looks like MySQL 5.6 is more memory hungry… I edited /etc/mysql/my.cnf to ensure that innodb_buffer_pool_size = 64M (I increased this to 128M and it worked too) was set (there was nothing in the default config) and re-ran apt-get install mysql-server-5.6 and it started. My test database was still around ;-)
I wanted to make sure that MySQL 5.6 isn't more memory hungry just on that instance so I created yet another clean t1.micro instance and did an apt-get install mysql-server-5.6. Same error. Reported lp#1311387.
Nothing to report in particular about Percona – 5.5.34 Percona XtraDB Cluster (GPL), Release 31.1 (Ubuntu), wsrep_25.9.rXXXX. One thing is for sure – if you're playing around with the ecosystem, installs and upgrades aren't exactly straightforward.

As one decompresses from the active month that April brings to the MySQL ecosystem, its worth noting that I received a MySQL Community Award – Community Contributor of the Year 2014 award at the Percona Live MySQL Conference & Expo 2014 in Santa Clara. I was extremely happy and thankful to receive such an award and I still am. Thank you MySQL Community.
My reason for winning, now immortalised:
Colin's list of service to the MySQL Community goes back almost 10 years. He was a community engineer starting in 2005, chaired some of the O'Reilly MySQL conferences, ran the MySQL projects for Google Summer of Code. As a partner and Chief Evangelist for Monty program, he continues to promote and grow the MySQL ecosystem. Though it's his job, he goes above and beyond, driven by his passion for open source and MySQL.
I was amongst very good company (congratulations to all the winners). Thank you to whom nominated me, and to the committee for vetting it. Frederic wrote a nice post with a little selfie. Tomas expresses heartfelt thanks from Oracle.
Anyway, not to rest on one's laurels – while its great to be given an award after years of being involved in the community, I will work harder in the coming months to make things better in any way I can. Thank you again, MySQL Community.

Beautiful designed apps should be conduits for web services. Or provide some form of "desktop" capability. Sync is important.
Brent Simmons recently wrote of Marco Arment:
You know him from Tumblr, Instapaper, The Magazine, and (coming soon) Overcast.
You may think of Marco as an iOS developer — but every single one of those apps is a web service.
This thought process works very well with a presentation John Gruber gave at Web 2.0 Expo NY – watch the 10 minute video on Apple and the Open Web. He describes Apple as a "ht" company: they've embraced HTML and HTTP.
I look at my iPhone and think to myself what apps I use (i.e. have an icon on my screen) that are web apps:
What isn't a web app? Photos (though there is an iCloud Sync that I don't use – I prefer it going to Dropbox), Camera, most of Apple's standard apps (of course, FaceTime, Notes, Calendar – they all sync), DocScanner (syncs to Dropbox, but has no web app behind it), Snapseed, Camera+, 360 (has a web component though I never use it). Music/Podcasts theoretically sync with the web, but again, not my use case. I don't consider Google Authenticator a web app either though I use it in conjunction with the web. Messages has iMessage but there isn't a web interface (yet?).
We can argue that the messaging apps aren't really web services. KakaoTalk/Line have desktop clients. Whatsapp is notoriously mobile-only. Viber/WeChat seem to be mobile only for me. Telegram leads the way by having a nice Chrome browser plugin. Skype is a desktop app.
That makes the majority of my apps that I use, really, web apps. My phone is a conduit to the Internet. This is why I consume data and WiFi.
My iPad is not much different – I use it a lot more for reading, and that includes the FT (fully HTML5 web + mobile app), WSJ, NYTimes, New Yorker, The Economist. OK, there's GoodReader, iBooks, Zinio for offline reading too, a lot more magazines, and some office software – the iWork suite (which syncs to iCloud). A cool app like Penultimate (now free after Evernote purchased them – again syncs online).
This is the success metric for an app. No point building an application to have a F1 racing timetable (I get that from F1.com or a simple Google search). No point building an application that collects Malay proverbs (I can search for that if I was interested; or if it was the English context, I'd just look up wikiquote).
Games seem to be an exception to this, but as I have never played games and don't intend to start (I don't grok the mind of a gamer, sorry), I'll pass on overall commentary.

Inspired by Yngve Svendsen's post, I too think it makes absolute sense to congratulate Ubuntu on the 14.04 LTS release (some server notes - MySQL has a section dedicated to it). Ubuntu users have a lot of server choice today (that's from all major MySQL ecosystem vendors):
Ubuntu's pitch is being the cloud platform of choice, with OpenStack support. This explains why Percona XtraDB Cluster (the only shipping Galera Cluster variant — no upstream Codership release, and no MariaDB Galera Cluster) is critical infrastructure as its used widely in OpenStack deployments. 451Research estimates that the OpenStack distributions market is worth $82 million in 2014 and $119 million in 2015.
Press release had a choice quote from Percona CEO, Peter Zaitsev:
"We are very pleased that Percona XtraDB Cluster is included in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Many organisations that use MySQL need high availability solutions to ensure that their applications meet the expectations of their users. Percona XtraDB Cluster is an easy to use, open source solution for MySQL clustering which addresses these high availability needs. We continue to see growth in Ubuntu usage by our customers and our open source software users so we are confident that the inclusion of Percona XtraDB Cluster in Ubuntu 14.04 will help spread the adoption of cost-effective, high availability MySQL." Peter Zaitsev, Co-Founder and CEO at Percona

With the recent Heartbleed bug, people are clearly more interested in their MariaDB/MySQL running with SSL and if they have problems. First up, you should read the advisory notes: MariaDB, Percona Server (blog), and MySQL (blog).
Next, when you install MariaDB (or a variant) you are usually dynamically linked to the OpenSSL library that the system provides. Typically on startup of MariaDB 10.0.10 on CentOS 6.5 (packages from the MariaDB repository), you can check what your status of SSL is.MariaDB [(none)]> show variables like 'have_ssl'; +---------------+----------+ | Variable_name | Value | +---------------+----------+ | have_ssl | DISABLED | +---------------+----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
This means that SSL options are compiled, but mysqld didn't start with it. You can verify SSL is linked dynamically:ldd `which mysqld` | grep ssl libssl.so.10 => /usr/lib64/libssl.so.10 (0x00007ff82d1b1000)
If you are running with SSL enabled (some documentation at MySQL) you will have different options naturally. You can do this via: /etc/init.d/mysql start --ssl. Output now changes:MariaDB [(none)]> show variables like 'have_ssl'; +---------------+-------+ | Variable_name | Value | +---------------+-------+ | have_ssl | YES | +---------------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
The value NO will be displayed if the server is not compiled with SSL support. See SSL Server System Variables for more.

I was fortunate enough to have some free time earlier today evening, and headed over to the Martin-Gropius-Bau to catch the Ai Weiwei (@aiww)exhibition titled Evidence. This is the first time I've seen Ai Weiwei's work as I missed it at the Tate Modern in London a while back.
He is a modern artists. Playing around with a lot of different materials to come up with his artwork. And he makes use of the Web. I guess his claim to fame is that he's all for freedom of speech & expression (something that's hard to do in China – a dissident he is, if you must), and the fact that he's a documenter of modern happenings (everyone is interested at the amazing pace of growth in China – he shows that by video recordings of highways, or driving around and recording his journey as an example).
For me, I was really moved by Zodiac Heads (Circle of Animals). I would so grab the rat, tiger and dog as examples!
China in ten years (I first went to Beijing in 2004 – it has changed a lot in a decade) has become a lot more materialistic. The car of choice used to be the Audi; it still is, but you find a lot of other luxury vehicles on the roads nowadays in Beijing. So the Han Dynasty vases painted with metallic paint from BMW & Mercedes was great for cultural insight. Culturally, the want of antiques is also high and the Table & Chest with stripped chairs was also interesting – remove 1mm sheen from Ming Dynasty furniture and they look like new. What is the purpose of antiques again?
I enjoyed his Study of Perspectives (a selection at moma) as well. He goes to famous landmarks and takes a photo with his left middle finger.
He portrays the disputed islands (between China & Japan). I loved the stools because they each tell a story (6,000 of them). I enjoyed his re-enactment of how he was held captive by the Chinese authorities for some time. It's shocking to see how you would sleep with a light on, always be watched by security guards and have everything covered up – where you have to do your own laundry and the only thing you get are 6 hangers. Its sad to see that his studio in Shanghai was demolished at a moment's notice – but he made artwork out of it. He showed the evidence that was confiscated (lots of laptops/video recorders/PCs).
A protest pre-demolition involved river crabs (he xie). Guess that's the beauty of the Chinese language :)
If you get the chance to check Ai Weiwei's work out, its well worth it and will take you a good 2 hours (read a review in The Economist). You can't take photos inside, but you will leave with a lot of memories. If you can't see this one in Berlin, check out a video: Ai Weiwei – Dumbass. At five minutes long, it makes my video of the week.

Every Thursday, the National Drought Mitigation Center (yes, it exists) issues a nationwide drought wrap-up. And…El Paso County is still in the red.
Today's drought prognosis is still pretty grim for the rest Colorado, although much of the state benefited from two weeks of recent rains. But, southeastern Colorado including El Paso County, are turning out to be problem zones.
El Paso County is on the fringes of the red zone–which means most of the county is in an extreme drought, the second-to-worst level.

As many as 20 cars were involved in a crash that shut down Interstate 5 between Salem and Albany on Thursday morning.
The southbound lanes were completely closed three miles north of Albany as a result of the crash, but one lane reopened around 12:10 p.m.
There were no reports of significant injuries from the pileup.
"The snow kind of came out of nowhere and it really got icy," said Shawn Dodd, who was involved in the crash while heading from Vancouver to Albany. "A motorhome started twirling around and people tried to avoid it and it didn't work out so well for a lot of people."
Oregon State Police troopers said there were also several smaller crashes on I-5.
PHOTOS: 20-vehicle pileup on I-5
TRAFFIC: Cameras and speed maps
In fact, I-5 northbound was temporarily blocked eight miles south of Albany because of a multiple-vehicle crash.
ODOT briefly issued a chain requirement for the Linn County area, but it has since been lifted.
Drivers should avoid the area or expect delays; or better yet, delay or cancel travel if possible.
"The message to motorists is simple: If you can avoid driving on the roads or highways in the next day and a half or so, do it. Otherwise, be prepared. Have extra clothing. Have blankets. Have extra water," said Rick Little, an ODOT spokesman.
For those considering driving, ODOT shared the following tips:

It was easy to write off the Eagles. Michael Vick was ruled out with broken ribs. They were on the road against a Giants team that stacks among the best in the NFC. Philadelphia's defense has been in disarray. The offense has been turnover-crazy. And Vince Young, by his own admission, was entering the game with a light handle on the playbook.
The deck seemed heavily stacked in the Giants' favor.
Enter Andy Reid. Few coaches handle defeat and brush aside adversity as well as the NFL's longest-tenured coach. The main ingredients to his success have been hard work and humility. When he is stuck in a ditch, he has found a way to shimmy out. It's not about who is right — it's about getting it right. Riding the brink of playoff elimination, Reid edged a step closer toward climbing back into contention in the NFC East with a 17-10 victory over New York in which the Eagles were strategically managed.
The 18-play, 80-yard, clock-milking TD drive that capped the Eagles' victory was called to near-perfection, draining nearly nine minutes and exploiting the youth of the Giants' rookie linebackers, who were drawn by crossing routes and vacated their deep zones. Young made his share of mistakes, throwing a number of costly interceptions, including one in the endzone late in the third quarter that could have opened a 14-point lead. When the game was on the line, however, Young was at his best, consistently stepping up in the pocket to avoid the rush and making clutch throws under duress, including the game-winning TD toss in the back of the endzone to unsung hero Riley Cooper.
The most defining trademark of Reid's teams in Philadelphia has been the play of the lines, and when the offensive line needed it most in the fourth quarter, it came through. More distinguishable throughout the game was the intensity of Jim Washburn's defensive line, with Cullen Jenkins roaring in pursuit to level DJ Ware and Jason Babin spinning off blocks and stripping Eli Manning to prevent a game-tying score. As hard as the corners were consistently crashed, DTs Mike Patterson, Trevor Laws and Derek Landri were equally effortful in suffocating the Giants' run game.
The Giants and Cowboys still maintain a two-game lead in the NFC East, but the Eagles have shown they can handle divisional competition, having beaten both rivals the past four weeks and standing tall in the division. They catch the Patriots at home next week coming off a Monday-night contest in a Thanksgiving-shortened week, but have to travel all the way across the country for a Thursday-night contest against Seattle the following week. The schedule is not easy and the odds are still long, but if the Eagles continue playing hungry and can match the look of focus and determination on Reid's face throughout Sunday night's win, they have a chance to work their way back into contention.
• The Dolphins have shown they have enough talent to win convincingly, and clearly controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball against Buffalo. However, the gaping number of empty seats in Sun Life Stadium speaks to the fan apathy in Miami and is a reason why the Dolphins need to fill the void in leadership that exited the building when Bill Parcells left.
• After spending his first five years in the league playing in a 3-4 front for Romeo Crennel and Eric Mangini, Browns MLB D'Qwell Jackson has looked much more comfortable this season in a "40" look, better able to swarm to the ball and make plays the way he did at Maryland. Being stuck in a take-on role took a toll on his body in recent years, as he lacked the requisite bulk and length ideally desired. His play has ascended with the arrival of defensive coordinator Dick Jauron.
• When it comes to making halftime adjustments and stacking points quickly, the Lions lead the league. They tend to start slow, but they have shown they know how to finish. The strength of the team is on the defensive line, and with the Packers' offensive line struggling through a recent lull in protection, some league evaluators suspect the Thanksgiving Day matchup could be too much for the Packers to preserve their undefeated record. A Green Bay loss could bring home-field NFC playoff implications to the "Harbaugh Bowl" in the evening.
• The 49ers and Ravens are built in similar fashion, with dominant defenses and strong running games that leave special teams as a determining factor. After KR David Reed fumbled three kickoffs over a two-game span, he was deactivated against Cincinnati, turning over return responsibilities to Tom Zbikowski, a more dependable catcher with little explosion. The presence of Ted Ginn and a strong kicking game could determine the outcome of what figures to be a low-scoring, smashmouth contest on Turkey Day.
• The Seahawks-Rams game was a battle of the two worst offensive lines in football. Sam Bradford looked demoralized by St. Louis' protection issues. The Seahawks have addressed the area heavily through free agency and the draft the past two years, but durability issues have compounded their problems.
• One of the single greatest improvements in the Vikings' offense since Christian Ponder entered the lineup has been the improved maneuverability of Adrian Peterson. With Brett Favre and even Donovan McNabb, Peterson did not receive the ball as deep in the backfield as he does with the more fleet-footed Ponder. By taking handoffs five yards deep instead of three, Peterson can see the initial wave slanting right and make sharp cuts in the backfield that help churn out chunks of yardage.

Rep. Peter King says he's not convinced that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is telling the truth when he reportedly told investigators that he and his brother acted alone in setting off two fatal bombs at last week's Boston Marathon.
"That seems to be the story, but I don't see how we can accept that" now, said Mr. King on CNN's "Starting Point" Wednesday. "It may end up being true, but here's a person who was a mass murder, a person who can barely speak at all. I don't see why he'd be giving up any accomplices they have or talk about any connection his brother may have had.
SEE RELATED: Insult to injury: Tamerlan Tsarnaev lived on welfare in Massachusetts
"He was saying he acted alone and his brother (Tamerlan) acted alone, I think it's much too early to accept that," the New York Republican said.
Mr. King, who is a member of the House Homeland Security and intelligence committees, said the next step in the investigation is to "follow every possible lead."
"This is an investigation that I think will go on for days, weeks and months," he said. Investigators must "drill down on every aspect, all their contacts."

Newton, Mass. - April 8, 2009 - The Springfield College men's lacrosse team improved to 3-0 in conference action picked up a victory at Lasell College, 11-3, on Wednesday afternoon. Jake Beebe led the Springfield offense with four points off a goal and three helpers, while Joe Heney added two goals and an assist.
Springfield's defense continued to dominate league foes as it has now allowed just eight total goals in three conference games. Tom Albano recorded the win between the pipes as he tallied eight saves in goal.
The last time these two schools met, in last season's Pilgrim League Tournament Semifinals, Springfield also limited the Lasers' attack to only three goals as well.
Springfield improved to 5-4, 3-0 in league play, while the Lasers finish the day with 1-2 league mark, 3-7 overall.
Over thirteen minutes elapsed before the first goal was scored in the opening quarter. Springfield's Ryan Thibodeau put the Pride on the board with an unassisted tally with only 1:39 remaining in the period. Lasell did not waste time responding as Brian Yepez (Hillsborough, NJ) answered just 22 seconds later to tie the game ending the first quarter.
Springfield ran away with five unreturned goals in the second frame push for a 6-1 gap by halftime. Beebe took a dish from Chris Jez to put the Pride ahead 49 seconds into the stanza. Pat Cavanaugh attacked next at 13:33, followed by Kyle Louer whose catch-and-shoot mark proved to be the game winner.
Jake Jones and Joe Macchi each notched points before the break to give Springfield a five goal advantage heading into intermission.
Lasell's Dave Buhloes fired one in past Albano at 7:45 in the third to break the Pride's run. Buhloes then assisted on Chris Bulkley's man-up tally just one minute later.
The Pride scored four more goals before the final buzzer, but Albano kept the Lasers from scoring for the remainder of the contest, making eight saves in the victory. Lasell's goalie Mike Kelliher made eleven saves in the defeat.
Beebe led for the visitors with four points in the matchup while Heney provided an additional two goals and an assist. Yepez and Buhloes each finished with two points for the home team, while Adam Foss controlled the face-off 10 of 16 times and added 10 ground balls.
The Pride return to action as it continues conference play on Saturday with a home contest against Mass. Maritime at 12:00 pm.

I, Too, Have a DreamBy: Mike July 14, 2014
A number of years ago I was talking to our veterinarian. As a side note it's worth mentioning that, if you have a horse you'll get to know your vet. If you have several horses you'll soon be on a first-name basis. And if you're addled enough to have a horse farm you'll know your vet better than you know your own family. Anyway, we were talking to our vet the way an alcoholic talks to the bartender, and I mentioned how busy I was.
Our vet just looked me up and down and said, "By your age, if you're busy it's probably because you want to be."
I started to sputter an outraged defense about how none of it was my fault, but after a moment's consideration I had to concede the point. We're busy because we choose to be. Since then, I've sort of made my peace with the idea that if you're a dreamer, and married to a dreamer, you're going to be busy. Dreams are sort of funny things, they seem all hazy and insubstantial, an ephemeral glimpse of something not really there. But the minute you say, "I could actually do that!" they start to become real. The catch, of course, is that dreams don't become real by themselves. No, they push and prod and itch in your brain until you finally make them real.
Dreams are not the sweet-tempered companions described by the poets, they're demanding task-masters that conspire to consume your time and resources. Think about it, consider a small, innocuous dream. . . maybe you have a front yard that's all brown and weedy and, seeing your neighbor's profusion of blooms and greenery, you start daydreaming that your yard could look like that . . .
There it is! That cute, fuzzy, innocent-looking dream of a lush yard. Yeah, Skippy, I'm looking at you! Shoo! Get outta' here! I don't need no stinkin' dreams. Yeah, you just keep movin' I like my yard yellow. It crackles when the bad guys step on it, so it's a good thing, ya' understand me? Now beat it!
OK, now that that silly dream is gone, let's talk about what would have happened if I hadn't sent it packing. Yes, it was a cute little dream, and it looked lonely. Now pay attention! If I'd left that dream loitering around here, it would have followed you home. It would have snuggled up to you like a long-haired rabbit and cuddled into your brain. You'd have visions of green grass and flowered borders, and fall asleep with a smile on your face dreaming of shade trees and cobbled paths through shaded nooks. It sounds blissful doesn't it?
That's how they get you. They come in all innocent and fuzzy, and they anesthetize your brain while they insinuate themselves into your thoughts like a parasite. While you're euphoric and distracted it's growing, gestating, heck it's probably pupating while you're oblivious — and then the nagging starts.
One night, as you drift off to sleep, you'll be envisioning the front yard of your dreams and a little voice—and since it's not your voice, whose is it?— will say, "So, when are you going to do something about it?" And just like that, your innocent little dream starts bossing you around.
It will nag you, quietly but constantly, until one day you give in and,just to appease your curiosity, you'll drive by a home and garden store. You'll walk by racks of shovels, rakes, and grass seed. You'll see shelves piled high with plumbing, hoses, sprinklers and arcane hardware. There will be bins filled with seed, and flowering plants spilling off of the tables, and a little voice will whisper, "Buy it. Buy it all. Buy it now!".
And, that first trip, you'll probably resist the urge to buy. You're in control of your life, master of your destiny, and you've spent years developing financial discipline. But the next night when you lay down, the familiar dream of your perfect garden won't materialize. You'll see that discount grass seed and those gardening gloves with the green canvas fingertips, and you'll be stuck trying to remember the name of that really beautiful flower you liked. In the back of your mind, that familiar nagging voice will suddenly say, "You're too stupid to make this dream come true. You have much to learn. There are several hours remaining before you have to get up and go to work, why don't you rectify your ignorance and become a bit less pathetic?"
Okay, in all fairness, the snark and insults are probably just my dreams. Give 'em long enough and they'll figure out what motivates you and use it against you. Trust me, dreams are tricky and absolutely ruthless.
Sooner or later, they'll catch you when your guard is down. It helps that now you're spending four or five hours a night reading gardening articles on the internet, and your sleep-deprived brain isn't working quite right. You'll be doing your grocery shopping, and somehow a couple of flower bulbs or little gardening trowel finds it way into your cart without you even remembering how it happened. It's only a couple of dollars, so what's the harm? In the words of the immortal Mr. T "I pity the fool!"
The game is afoot. The dream's got your number, and they're relentless. It will push and prod and tickle and scratch at your thoughts. Pretty soon you'll be buying grass seed and sprinklers in the hope that, if you're exhausted enough, you might get a little sleep. You'll be surprised to find that you know the names of every flower in the garden shop, and your credit card is maxed out. Your friends will complain that they never see you anymore. Suddenly, you never seem to have time for movies or a trip to the beach, there's a yellow patch in the lawn and it's either that nasty neighborhood dog, or you need more selenium in your fertilizer . . .
And as you go about your busy day, reduced to a mere automaton endlessly toiling over your lush, green lawn, completely subservient to that sweet little dream you once adopted, you'll see a neighbor cast an admiring glance at your immaculate lawn. In that moment, to your horror, the dream that has become your master will cackle without mirth, and a small, furry piece of your dream will split off and bound over to the new admirer, begging with big eyes to be picked up and taken home.

Ayodele Gabriel Oke, of the 300 block of York Road, was convicted of a host of charges related to the April 3, 2011 robbery at the Horsham home of Shawn Schwarz, a former classmate of Oke's.
, Schwarz said that Oke entered the home he shared with his parents, placed one hand around his neck and used the other hand to point a gun at Schwarz's head, while demanding cash.
"He said, 'Shawn, gimme your money,'" Schwarz said at that time. When the victim refused, Oke was said to have choked him.
According to the criminal complaint released at the time of , Oke then said, "I'm about to start lettin' off shots."
The criminal complaint said Oke then closed the curtains and told the victim he had been in the house too long. In the end, Oke was said to have robbed Schwarz of $185. Schwarz fled to a neighbor's house.
Judge Joseph A. Smyth, who presided over Oke's trial, deferred sentencing so court officials could undertake a background investigative report, according to The Mercury article. Oke faces a possible maximum sentence of 37-75 years in prison.
Oke, who late last year had
He is also awaiting trial related to charges stemming from allegedly sending 50 threatening text messages to a man who owed Oke money.

In this column, Stoughton Patch picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that is worth checking out. This week's choice is , located in Sharon at 5 Post Office Square.
From downtown Stoughton it's about 4.5 to 5 miles away and a 10-12 minute drive, depending on route.
Coriander Bistro–There's something romantic about spicy Indian food: The heat; the burning feeling on your lips; the tendency to take little nibbles of perfectly seasoned cuisine.
Coriander Bistro offers fine Indian cuisine at reasonable prices. While the menu is exotic, each item is given a delectable description, taking the guesswork out of foreign-sounding dishes.
The waitstaff is impeccably polite and friendly, and the ambiance of the restaurant is romantic, with high ceilings, soft lighting and a small but well-spaced seating arrangement. It is nicely decorated in a combination of Indian and Nepalese décor.
Owner Ram Dhital suggests Chicken Tikka Masala, an Indian specialty paired with Spicy Spinach, a Nepal-inspired dish along with some freshly made bread.
Some other popular dishes include: Saag Paneer (spinach, ginger onion and cottage cheese cooked in light spices) and Meat Samosa, a crispy turnover filled with ground lamb. A vegetarian samosa, filled with spiced potatoes and peas, is available as well.
Coriander Bistro (781-784-2198) is open 11:30 a.m. - 10:00 p.m., weekdays and noon to 11:00 p.m. weekends. Lunch Buffet available. Unique appetizers, soups and salads ranging from $2.95- $8.95, Indian and Nepalese entrees start at $11.95.

1. Le'Veon Bell, Michigan State
A downhill and violent runner, Bell's a physical running back capable of handling a significant workload. He always falls forward and runs through would-be tacklers. He does lack the extra gear, and doesn't look comfortable as a receiver. He's a two-down back, but if you can get over his inability as a receiver, you're talking about a bell cow that will produce in the NFL.
Possible Destinations: Chargers, Colts, Jets, Packers, & Steelers
2. Johnathan Franklin, UCLA
If given the opportunity, Franklin has the ability to be a three-down running back. He runs tough and is an outstanding pass protector. He catches the ball well with his hands and is a very good route runner. He's a productive, undervalued talent capable of contributing early in his career.
Possible Destinations: Bengals, Colts, Jets, Packers, & Steelers
3. Eddie Lacy, Alabama
Lacy has good size, power, and competent speed. However, he played behind an offensive line with three potential NFL starters from this draft alone. The holes he ran through -- particularly against Georgia and Notre Dame -- were big enough for any ordinary running back to exploit. He also lacks the extra gear and doesn't create mismatches. Nevertheless, he's a future starter in the pros that can add a running threat to a pass-happy offense.
Possible Destinations: Bengals, Colts, Jets, Packers, & Rams
4. Stepfan Taylor, Stanford
Taylor is a three-down running back. He breaks tackles and always falls forward. He's not going to give you much on the outside, but he's a bowling ball between the tackles. His lack of explosiveness and straight-line speed will scare teams away, but he's a hard-nosed runner that consistently churns out yardage.
Possible Destinations: Broncos, Chargers, Colts, Jets, & Packers
5. Montee Ball, Wisconsin
Ball plays faster than his 4.66 combine 40 indicates. He's a downhill runner, who decisively hits the hole and runs through tacklers. He's a decent wide receiver out of the backfield, and agile in the open field. The major red flag is the amount of mileage on his tires. He's carried the ball 826 times since 2010, so someone may only be looking at one contract with him.
Possible Destinations: Broncos, Chargers, Colts, Jets, & Packers
6. Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina
Possibly the most gifted back in the draft, Lattimore's injury history is a major red flag. He suffered back-to-back season ending knee injuries. When he was healthy, he was a physical, explosive runner that could carry a heavy workload. Someone will have to clear him medically, but if he ever returns to full strength, he'll emerge as a bona fide starting running back.
Possible Destinations: 49ers, Chargers, Colts, Falcons & Jaguars
7. Joseph Randle, Oklahoma State
With good size and vision, Randle offers upside as a mid-round running back. He's physical enough to get the tough yardage and explosive enough to bounce it outside the tackles. He does lack the final gear and his pad level leaves him vulnerable to nasty blows.
Possible Destinations: 49ers, Bengals, Jets, Colts, & Packers
8. Giovani Bernard, North Carolina
Bernard is an all-purpose back. He's a good pass catcher and can motion out as a receiver. His speed is underwhelming. You'd expect more from a 200-pound running back that is only 5-8. While he probably won't support a heavy workload, he's a solid complimentary option that could serve as a return man.
Possible Destinations: Bengals, Colts, Cowboys, Dolphins, & Jets
9. Andre Ellington, Clemson
Ellington makes up for his lack of size, speed, and power with vision, quickness, and toughness. He's decisive when he hits the hole and plays bigger than his 199-pound stature suggests. He's not explosive in space and he must become a better pass protector. Without the latter, he'll have a hard time getting on the field as a third-down running back.
Possible Destinations: Chargers, Colts, Dolphins, Packers, & Steelers
10. Knile Davis, Arkansas
Davis offers an excellent combination of speed and thickness at 227 pounds. He's a bit of a workout warrior. He blew up the combine with a strong 40 (sub 4.40) and 30-plus reps of 225 pounds on the bench. He has a history of injuries, but there's a lot of raw ability to develop.
Possible Destinations: 49ers, Cowboys, Falcons, Jaguars, & Rams

I would flip Taylor and Ball.. and tier them together with Franklin ahead of Lacy.. Lacy to me is so highly overrated it makes me ill. Much like Ron Dayne was.. a talent, but much of his college success laid upon his blocking. Not to mention stiffer than I would want in today's game.
I would agree in our selection on top of the heap in Bell.. I would have him exactly in the same position.. at the top. Pains me to offer praise to a guy that played a large part in Sparty's success against the Badgers the last couple seasons.
I think when there's enough will and aggression, there's no shortage of talent either.

Franklin and Taylor are my picks. I would love it if Franklin was still there in the 3rd but I don't see how that will happen. I would prefer GB to take a C in the 2nd round but not just any old body to fill the slot so if the better ones are all gone then grabbing a RB would make sense.

I think Packers fans would go nuts with happiness if the Packers took Montee Ball after trading their 1st round for an early second round and third. They'd use the 2nd on Ball.
