After Sam Bradford takes the first snap for the St. Louis Rams in 2013, it's anyone's guess as to who touches the ball next…
Five Questions With 'Turf Show Times'
Safeties are an important part of the St. Louis Rams defense. What kind of role do they play and why is versatility so important?
St. Louis Rams safety Craig Dahl talked to Turf Show Times this month. What did he have to say about expectations for the team?
New York Giants DE Osi Umenyiora will be traded by the end of the week. What is the likelihood of the St. Louis Rams getting serious about such a deal?
Indianapolis Colts safety Melvin Bullitt is said to be of interest to the St. Louis Rams. What would they do with another free agent safety?
Former St. Louis Rams S Kevin Payne has agreed to terms with the Carolina Panthers. What moves will the Rams make to fill their need at that position?
St. Louis Rams safety Craig Dahl looks like the team's most likely candidate to start at free safety, for now.
Philadelphia Eagles' Quintin Mikell is ticketed for free agency. Could he reunite with Steve Spagnuolo in St. Louis?
It's been a few weeks since the divorce between the Rams and O.J. Atogwe. The Rams lost a good player and leader when he signed with the Redskins. He might not have been the best safety in the NFL,...
Which players should the St. Louis Rams cut?
James Butler and his $3 million contract could be one of several players released by the St. Louis Rams this year.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
A tale of two brunches
One is lovely, the other lively; both excellent choices on Corydon
Sometimes a Saturday night at home looks a lot more inviting than going out, especially during the kind of deep freeze we've been having, but getting out of the house during the day doesn't seem quite so intimidating.
Brunch is an attractive (and less expensive) alternative to dinner, but although there are many brunches on Sunday, just try to find one on a Saturday. There are plenty of Asian choices, but the pickings are slim for a more traditional brunch.
Dining Out
- 842 Corydon Ave.
- 204-284-7916
Falafel Place
- 1101 Corydon Ave.
- 204-489-5811
One of the few and, fortunately, one of the best, can be found at Mise on both Saturday and Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. It's a polished little bijou of a room, with one dark grey wall hung with local artworks, and a wall of windows opposite that overlooks a patio in summer. The ambience is serene and smart, but comfortably casual.
You can have lunch if you wish (another rare Saturday/Sunday find) and I was briefly tempted by the curried chicken salad on cranberry bread, or the Italian sausage with roasted peppers and provolone on a baguette ($15.95 each, including two sides of chips, salad or soup). But it was brunch we were primed for -- a leisurely, sit-down, served-at-table brunch.
The menu isn't huge but the selections, which range in price from $7.95 to $17.95, are elegant and interesting. One terrific choice was the Mise Special Breakfast -- a puff pastry filled with mushrooms, bacon, cheddar and shirred egg yolks, baked under a fragile and beautiful meringue -- which was not only delicious, but so pretty it seemed almost a shame to destroy the structure by digging in.
Another winner was eggs Benedict, the bright yellow yolks perfectly runny, layered with flavourful back bacon, and cloaked in a rich hollandaise that was sheer perfection (there's also a vegetarian version with chimichurri sauce). Tender crepes -- generously filled with salmon, shrimp and scallops and topped by cheddar cheese -- might also have approached perfection if its cream sauce had more flavour.
There are no fruit juices or other la carte items, but most dishes come with a container of fresh, prime fruits. Most are also garnished by what the menu describes as wild rice hash -- erroneously (in our case, at least), since there were only token grains of wild rice among the potatoes, which would have been just as tasty totally on their own.
Other options include a spicy Italian sausage skillet with peppers, zucchini and onions; grilled Atlantic salmon with poached eggs and hollandaise; a New York steak with poached eggs and chimichurri and roasted red pepper purée. More spartan tastes can opt for just two eggs, any style, and, for sweeter teeth, there's fig and star anise French toast topped by sautéed bananas, whipped cream and candied pecans.
Service was attentive to start with, but elusive when the place filled up.
-- -- --
A few blocks down Corydon and you're in another world. Nobody would ever describe Falafel Place as a polished little bijou. Actually it's the very antithesis -- a diner with no decor, and a decibel level that reduces conversation to a shout. Don't expect a leisurely meal -- the place is bustling and perennially packed, and you'd feel guilty if you kept your table while others are waiting for it.
But in its own way it's a gem. You can have brunch from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. any day of the week, and if you can find a time between meals when it isn't full, good luck (I'm not sure there is such a time). But whenever you come the wait won't be long and the food -- part Middle Eastern, part East European, part classic deli -- will be copious, made from scratch and top-notch.
The breakfast platters cost from $6 to $9.50 for two eggs, with either a potato pancake or hash browns (both excellent) and toast. Most are augmented by the meat of your choice, not just the usual bacon, ham or sausage, but also salami, corned beef, tender and flavourful medallions of beef tenderloin, a lightly breaded chicken schnitzel, or (a personal favourite), the garlicky ground turkey burger. There are several kinds of hash -- corned beef, chicken or turkey -- for which the meat, eggs and hash browns are all mixed together (the eggs will be cooked separately if requested).
There are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices as well. The fabulously fluffy (no, that's not an oxymoron) falafel are aromatic with hints of cumin and cilantro, and are served with tahini sauce and velvety hummus (for vegans, with vegetables instead of eggs, i.e. beets, eggplant or kohlrabi, possibly). And the blintzes are simply wonderful, bulging with smooth, vanilla-scented and slightly sweetened cottage cheese, served with jam and a dollop of sour cream.
Many of the items can be ordered la carte or in half portions. The orange and grapefruit juices are freshly squeezed, and there are six varieties of luscious house-made jams, as well as a moderately hot sauce for those who hunger for a dash of heat. And, as busy as the place is, the service is always friendly and phenomenally efficient.

If you like a good story, mixed in with breathtaking visuals, magnificent audio, and extraordinary game play you'd be a fool to miss out on this sleeper hit of the year.
A rich, polished game from a developer obviously intent on improving the credibility of its franchise with a focus on solid gameplay, and not just pushing the same tired character into different locations year after year. Right Lara?
While it won't hold up to the likes of Zelda, it provides an entertaining romp while the game lasts. Air combat is a blast to get involved in, and the humongous worlds are amazing to fly through.
Drakan had me rejoicing when acquiring a new longbow or a bitchin' set of chainmail armor. [Feb 2002, p.80]
It was the sound that really sets Drakan: The Ancients Gates apart from other action/adventures.
A fantastic game to gaze at, with wonderfully detailed graphics, enormous environments, above average lighting effects, and smooth looking characters.
Continues in the tradition of it's origins; providing a quick to get into and unique game with plenty of monster slaying, an ultra-cool heroine, a feisty but noble dragon, open character development, and plenty of foot and aerial combat to indulge in.
The attention to detail, the story, the action, the graphics—everything about the game is solid and well thought out. Anyone who likes fantasy adventure games is likely to be happy with their purchase.
It is extremely long and will have you up for a lot of long nights, trying to get to that next phase of the game...about 25 to 30 hours.
A refreshing 30-hour interactive fantasy novel that, thankfully, offers much more than just virtual cleavage.
For every flaw Drakan delivers an equal and opposite measure of magnificence.
The game is beautiful. Textures all look good and the game uses the right color and landscaping to make it feel perfect.
It's far more addictive that I expected. I spent several nights in a row playing until 2 in the morning, unable to just simply stop, without settling just one more quest.
The dialogue is intelligent, the side quests actually help thicken up the feel of a fantasy world, and the graphics and sound have a subtle way of reeling you in without knowing.
Drakan tries - and sometimes succeeds - in being better than average, but it eventually gets Drakan'd right back to a formulaic adventure game.
Delivers an exceptional experience...The graphics are top-notch, the controls are easy to manipulate, and the combat is quick and intense on both foot and dragon back.
The controls are solid and versatile, and the whole experience seems appropriately majestic. [Feb 2002, p.106]
It's not incredibly original, either, with a big debt to Diablo-style gameplay, for instance. Then again, it has some great things that the Diablo games don't, like huge 3D environments and a fire-breathing dragon you can ride.
Even though it has its share of drawbacks (enemy AI weaknesses, occasional pop-up, and a lackluster ending), its positive aspects (variety of gameplay, numerous side quests, and nice graphics) outweigh the negatives.
A good game peppered with numerous little annoying bits. Still, the item acquisition, terrific fighting and solid graphics offer good adventure fun, and you could do a lot worse.
Its lack of any really well-designed puzzles makes playing the game a bit more repetitive [than "Soul Reaver 2"] and too combat-based. [Feb 2002, p.42]
The original PC version's RPG trappings have been watered down, effectively diminishing strategy and story-telling in favor of lengthy fetch quests and mucho butt-kicking action.
It all works pretty well, but there are a few hitches here and there that prevent it from being truly great.
I found the character design and model of the lead character to be severly clichéd and the least interesting in the game.
While Drakan II handles the tomb-raiding controls better than "Tomb Raider," what you'll find in the game's horrendously monotonous dungeons rivals watching paint dry in terms of excitement.
You could easily spend 40 hours or more if you wanted to explore every inch of the levels and do all the secondary quests in the game...a solid, if not spectacular, gaming experience.
35% of it is quite good. It's just that other 65% that is disappointingly lackluster. The moments where you're soaring through the countryside burninating trolls and stuff are great but the bland dungeons are far too prevalent.
Little more than an average action-adventure title, with nothing to differentiate itself from the throngs of similar titles in the PlayStation 2 library.
Suffers from a steep difficulty curve. Blame it on the excessive enemy quotient, the steep cost of healing, and the unwieldy inventory control. [Feb 2002, p.148]

Jun 11, 2013Awesome 3/4's of a game! It's a shame they wimped out and didn't have a decent ending. Just 5 more minutes of wrapping everything up would have been enough to get a score of 9. An open-ended world afterwards would let me give a score of 10. But I bought my PS2 years ago just to play this game, and was happy with the decision. Great game, great fun! Flying on a dragon is something they don't have much of anymore, and I miss it.… Full Review »
May 25, 2013This game is worth taking a chance on in 2013 if you are very bored, but like adventure action. There is a story, so its not a pure action game that you can blast through. You have to navigate and do item collection quite a bit. Thankfully you don't really get too lost and everything keeps pace. The environments, textures, and animations don't look like much at first, but it gets going once you are put on your first quest. The controls are a bit clunky, but this is an older game. Its like a 2nd or 3rd Tomb Raider engine. The enemies are pretty funny. The first quest is a balance of creepy and silly with magic gremlins. Its not as fluid as devil may cry, and perhaps this game needs more finishing touches, but its very playable and gives you a lot to do. As an RPG you'll start to feel like the character after awhile. I have to deduct some points because some areas, like the first castle don't look finished. The controls aren't perfect, and some things about this game are average. All in all this should be good for hours of gameplay whether you beat it or not. If you are already a fan of the genre or older ps2 games you'll like it.… Full Review »

Very cool avant garde play. Reminded me of my experimental theatre days in college. Most of the actors were great.

WINONA, Minn. (AP) -- Winona State University is launching a boat that will serve as a floating classroom for students.
It's the second such effort for Winona State, which operated a floating houseboat in the 2000s before the Coast Guard ruled it out of code.
The university announced this week that it has secured enough funding to begin work on the Dr. Calvin R. Fremling Floating Interpretive Center and Classroom. Winona State will use the 49-passenger boat primarily for field-based biology classes, as well as general environment and science classes.
Fremling was a longtime professor of biology at Winona State and renowned Mississippi River expert who died in 2010 at age 80.
The Winona Daily News reports Winona State hopes to have the boat ready for use by spring 2014.

34 posts tagged "Taylor Swift"
Why Taylor Swift Is Ruining Our '80s Memories-------
Haters are gonna hate, but Taylor Swift is just gonna shake…shake it off. And she's gonna do it with some "hella good" hair, a cheerleading squad…and a Ribbon Dancer? Swift's first "official" pop album, dubbed 1989 after her birth year, was inspired by "bright colors, bold choices, and rebellion," she noted during today's livestream on Yahoo, as well as the late '80s. It's too bad T. Swift wasn't around for the majority of the glorious decade because we experienced those beauty trends the first time around and they were nothing short of magical (a magic Swift seems to have abolished in a matter of four minutes). The songstress strategically left out some iconic signatures from our adolescence (like crimps, side ponytails, and scrunchies), but we'll give her partial credit for working in powder blue eyeshadow and a boom box. One thing, however, that should never appear in an ode to the totally awesome '80s: twerking. We kept it clean with The Cabbage Patch dance between episodes of Alf. Here, the only aspect of this video we can get on board with: foiled lips (solely because Jem and the Holograms would probably approve).
Taylor Swift Does City Slicker Waves Right-------
If you're like us and live in a concrete jungle, take solace in a bottle of salt spray and get breezy, beachy strands. Three mists we've had on heavy rotation the past three months: Alterna Bamboo Summer Ocean Waves Tousled Texture Spray ($20), Verb Sea Spray ($14), and Redken Fashion Waves 07 Texturizing Sea Spray ($19). (Bonus: Their fresh scents are enough to make you believe you're on the sand—and not stuck inhaling the many mysterious eaux drifting about the Manhattan subway system—if only for a moment.)
A celebrity who seems to have stolen our urban beauty tactic after strolling the streets of NYC all summer long: Taylor Swift. Judging by her tousled waves, we'd say that life in the Big City (along with its oppressive heat and humidity) seems to suit the country girl just fine.
Taylor Swift and Lauryn Hill Discover Summer's Power Pair-------
When it comes to wearing makeup during the dogs of summer, we always think less is more. This week, we're loving the look of bold lips paired with one statement accessory—be it a cool chapeau or sophisticated sunglasses. Take a cue from chanteuse Lauryn Hill and let a vibrant violet pout peek out from beneath a wide-brim hat, or make like Taylor Swift and contrast black Wayfarers with a loud fuchsia mouth. (Either way, you won't have to worry about perfecting a smoky eye or producing a bump-free band of liquid liner.) These two singers may differ in terms of musical style, but they're definitely riding the same beauty wave. Consider us on board.

Orange Lipstick: This Weekend's Beauty MVP-------
No matter where you're headed this holiday weekend, you can probably count on sticky, super-humid temps. Since foundation, mascara, and other melt-away makeup is out of the question, we're leaving room in our toiletry bags for other TSA-friendly beauty gems and saving space by taking only one tube of lipstick: a bullet of bright orange. Paired with beachy waves and bare skin, a swipe of juicy tangerine is all you need to pull together your look (and complement a tan). In fact, the color works for both day and night, as proven by Taylor Swift (spotted on the streets of New York City) and Alexa Chung (glammed up for the Serpentine Gallery's summer soiree in London). You can opt for a sheer, easy-to-wear formula, like Yves Saint Laurent Volupté Sheer Candy Glossy Balm in Tangy Mandarine, or try a more opaque finish with NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Timanfaya. You can even pair this bold hue with your bikini—though we suggest a long-wear version if you plan on splashing in the sea.
The Best of Met Gala Beauty Trends: Vampy Lips and Retro Waves-------
With summer on the horizon, everyone has beachy hair, sun-kissed skin, and dewy makeup on the brain. It's always a welcome change in our beauty routine, though we can't help but mourn the winter products we'll soon have to retire. But based upon the many moody mouths that made their way down last night's red carpet, we may not be tucking away our burgundy bullets so fast. Two of the major trends that surfaced—vampy lips and retro, side-parted waves—are typically reserved for cooler climes but looked stunning at the relatively balmy (at least in comparison to recent weather we've experienced) New York event. Some of our favorite moments? Suki Waterhouse's classic wine shade; Beyoncé's gothic hue, which played off her Philip Treacy veil; Adèle Exarchopoulos' brown-tinged maroon pout; Joan Smalls' shocking violet deftly paired with a soft braid; and Elettra Wiedemann's ruby rouge, which matched her glittering gown. Dark lips were an edgy yet elegant choice—perfect for a night that otherwise offered up bow ties and ball gowns.
Retro, side-parted waves upped the glamour quotient even further. Cara Delevingne's crop top and tuxedo pants (both by Stella McCartney) were far from traditional, but bouncy waves brushed to one side felt undeniably classic. Short-haired stars such as Taylor Swift and Reese Witherspoon added big, loose curls à la Grace Kelly, and Kim Kardashian, Blake Lively, and Riley Keough turned up with long, Veronica Lake-esque ringlets.
Our best tips for sporting these trends through the summer? Skip matte foundation, which would look too heavy-handed with dark lips, and invest in a humidity-blocking spray (like Oribe Imperméable Anti-Humidity Spray) to keep your retro waves sleek and shiny.

"LSU is my latest offer,"
said. "Arizona State, Auburn, Miami, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio State have also offered me recently."
Add that list of offers to the scholarships he already holds from Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, Mississippi Sate, Arkansas, Notre Dame, Clemson, and several more and it's difficult to find another Tennessee football recruit with such an impressive list of offers.
"It's an honor, really. I have 19 total scholarship offers right now from some of the best programs in the country. I really didn't see this happening. I'm blessed."
Herron, of Memphis, Tenn., is a two-sport star for Central, but football is where he is going to make his living.
"I'm just really quick off of the ball. I play the run well too. I like to pride myself on being a well-rounded lineman."
Last season he had 54 tackles, seven sacks, and three forced fumbles playing at 250 pounds. But he's shed 15 pounds during a vigorous off-season in the weight room.
"I've added 40 pounds to my bench press (275 to 315). I'm just doing a lot of running and lifting because I missed spring training to play basketball. I've dropped 15 pounds, and I feel a lot faster and stronger. I can't wait to get going next fall."
Where all has Herron visited this spring?
"So far I've been to Ole Miss, Vandy, Tennessee, LSU, and Memphis. I plan on going to the Ole Miss and Mississippi State spring games Saturday."
Herron received his LSU scholarship while on his Junior Day trip.
"When I visited down there I could see myself playing for LSU because of Coach (John) Chavis. His plays and recruits the best players in the country. He likes his players to be fast and strong and I could just see myself playing defensive end for him."
What stood out about LSU the most while on the trip?
"They were talking about how they want me to come right in and start as a freshman. They're losing three of their four-man rotation to the pros next year so they're looking for some freshmen to come in and take those spots. They want me to be one of those guys."
Vandy was his latest trip.
"I went to Nashville last weekend.
Brian Kimbrow
is going there and we're good friends. He's really high on Vandy's education and their coaching staff. He fell in love with it so he wanted me to come check it out with him. They're turning that program around. I like Coach (James) Franklin. I saw more intensity from Vandy at their practice than I've ever seen. I've never seen them play that hard and fast. I like how they move their ends around and let them play in coverage and get after the quarterback. They just move them around and let them roam the field."
Tennessee hosted Herron last month.
"I have two teammates who play up there in Darrell Stokes (plays hoops) and
Cameron Clear
, a tight end up there. They tell me about how Coach (Derek) Dooley and Coach (Cuonzo) Martin run things. They're doing great things up there. Their defensive coordinator (Sal Sunser) is a legend. They let their ends move to outside linebacker and even inside linebacker at times."
What stood out the most about the Vols on the trip?
"I like how big their campus is and the academic help they can give you even if you have to leave early and go play in the pros. The Vols for Life program helps you come back and get your degree. That was nice to know because it's hard getting your degree in three years. If you have a chance to go make millions, you have to do it."
Ole Miss was his first visit this spring.
"I have a cousin who plays volleyball there. She says I'll love it there. I want to learn more about their academic programs on this trip and see more of their campus.
The Rebels were fading off his list at one point. However, that's changed.
"I went to their camp last summer and they liked me a lot. They were recruiting me as a tight end, but I'm better on the defensive side of the ball. They fell off of my list altogether when they hired a new staff, but Coach (Hugh) Freeze got them right back on it. Coach (Maurice) Harris told me as soon as he was hired that I was a target for them. We talk all of the time, at least once a week. Coach Harris is always talking about things outside of football like my grades and family and just my personal life. He grew up in a rough neighborhood too and came from a one-parent home. We talk about the things we have to do in life to get out of the hood. You have to take care of your business and get a college degree. We just have a lot in common."
Mississippi State has also shown interest.
"Coach (Dan) Mullen and Coach (Angelo) Mirando are great guys. I try and talk to them once a week. Coach Mirando said I can come in and play right away. He said it's amazing that their defense has been so good without a big time defensive end, and we just talk about the things they could do with someone like me in there. I'm a big priority for them."
Players are committing left and right around the country but Herron is no hurry.
"I still don't even have a top-5 or anything. I'm not sure when I'm going to narrow it down to five schools but it'll probably be real soon. The most important thing for me is to get my degree and where I can see myself in four or five years. I want to go where they can develop me and get me into the league."
Yancy Porter is the Mississippi Scout for Scout.com and he can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com
It is sometimes hard to get a true gauge on which player is the most wanted player out of a particular state but going off of offers it looks like Frank Herron could be that player.

when I started one of my machines today I was presented with a message saying that my Windows version (which is the Windows 7 beta) may not be legal, and would I like to get a licensed version now?
I closed the message, and Windows 7 is running normally, but it looks as though there's a bug lurking in there somewhere.

$79-million deal sets standard for non-quarterbacks. Andrew Brandt
I was able to get my hands on the massive contract extension between the Cowboys and DeMarcus Ware, and my conclusion remains: This is a truly impressive deal. As you watch No. 94 on the Cowboys, know that, in the language of NFL locker rooms – and using a phrase I hear too often among professional athletes -- "He got paayed!"
Here are the particulars on Ware's bounty:
Signing bonus: $20 million
2009: $6M ($5.59M guaranteed)
2010: $7.8M (all guaranteed)
2011: $6.7M ($6.61M guaranteed)
Offseason Workout Bonus: $500,000 per season 2011-2015
Total Value
All told, the contract worth is $79 million. That factors out to an APY (average per year) of $13.16 million.
Ware was under contract at the time of the extension for $1M. So the "new money" of the deal is $78M, or an APY of $13M.
Looking at next year and the prospect of an uncapped 2010, Ware would have been a restricted free agent with the Cowboys. We can assume that the team, absent this deal, would have placed the "super tender" of first- and third-round picks on Ware, an amount of $3.268M. Under that scenario, the "new money" is worth $74.732M, a new money APY of $14.95M.
Analysis: What makes this deal so impressive is where Ware started, not where he finished. Having only a salary of $1M and an uncertain future with an uncapped 2010, Ware had a long way to go to meet the numbers of the top deals done the past few months around the league.
Specifically, the recent deals of Eli Manning and Philip Rivers were negotiated off escalated salaries in the $8-9M range. Terrell Suggs' contract was negotiated off a $10.2M franchise tag number, and Suggs, having received the franchise tag two years in a row, could have only received the quarterback franchise tag in 2010, an amount exceeding $15M. Even the mother of all free-agent contracts, that of Albert Haynesworth, was negotiated against the backdrop of unrestricted free agent with multiple teams in play.
The fact Ware negotiated this extension off a $1M number this year and questionable free agency next year makes it truly striking.
The guaranteed amount is $40M, exceeding the guarantees of Rivers and Manning and pulling in right below the new standards for guaranteed contracts, those of Haynesworth ($41M) and Matthew Stafford ($41.7M).
Analysis: This is as impressive a number as there is other than the largest free-agent contract in NFL history (Haynesworth) and the largest rookie contract in NFL history (Stafford). There's not much else to say. The numbers are remarkable.
The only non-quarterback contract that I would say outperforms this deal is the one signed in February by Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha. Although Asomugha was about to be tagged with a franchise number of $11.7M before he agreed to terms, it's still the most stunning contract in the league, a three-year deal averaging more than $15M a year. Even assuming he was to get the franchise tag and the "new money" of "only" $11.43M a year, the fact that he's a free agent again in three years, at age 30, makes that contract a staggering deal. As a result, I would give the cornerback a slight edge over the outside linebacker.
I would put Ware's deal right behind it, though. This is a massive contract that sets a new standard for non-quarterbacks. We all knew this deal would be big, given the team and the player. We just didn't know it would be this big.

Golfers support unusual event for charity
9:00pm Wednesday 30th April 2014 in Sport By Joel Holt
THE glorious sunshine was put to good use by 150 members at South Wilts Golf Club on Good Friday.
The well-contested captain's charity strings event involved novel members using six inches of string for each stroke of the combined handicaps and used accordingly.
Mixed pair Roger Priddle and Jo Terry clinched the unorthodox tournament with 43 points. With 41 points behind in second was John Quartley and Tim Bennett followed by Tom and Sam Elkins in third (40), Mark Taylor and Peirce Waddington in fourth (39) and fifth-place filled by David Waterman and Richard Juett (39).
Captain Richard Boyland commented: "It was great fun and I'd like to thank all the members for their magnificent support, helping raise £980 for charity Hope and Homes for Children."

San Francisco, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Brandon Barnes' go-ahead, inside-the- park two-run home run in the top of the ninth inning lifted the Colorado Rockies over the San Francisco Giants, 5-4, in the middle tilt of a three- game series at AT&T Park.
With the Rockies trailing by a run, Charlie Blackmon singled off Sergio Romo (3-3) with one out in the decisive frame. Barnes then delivered his second inside-the-park homer of the season on a two-out slider past a diving center fielder Angel Pagan to cap off a second consecutive ninth inning rally for the Rockies, who have won four straight.
"We always talk about the games here and how crazy they are," said Rockies manager Walt Weiss. "It usually comes down to millimeters and milliseconds. That was another one today."
Rex Brothers (3-4) struck out the side in the eighth inning to earn the win while LaTroy Hawkins ended the game with a scoreless ninth to secure his 13th save of the year.
Michael McKenry went 3-for-4 with a run scored while Blackmon, Josh Rutledge and Ryan Wheeler each recorded an RBI for Colorado.
Buster Posey went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and three RBI and Hunter Pence added a solo home run for the Giants, who have lost five of their last six.
"This is a tough one for these guys to lose," said Giants manager Bruce Bochy. "That's a tough way to lose a game but we have to move on and be ready for tomorrow."
Pence's solo shot over the left-field wall in the first that started the scoring.
McKenry led off the second with a base hit and came around to score on Wheeler's double to center. With Wheeler on third and two outs, Blackmon singled to left to put the Rockies ahead.
Back-to-back doubles from Justin Morneau and Rutledge, respectively, in the third extended Colorado's lead to 3-1.
Posey crushed a two-out, full-count fastball for a two-run homer that tied the game in the fifth two batters after Pagan reached on a base hit.
In the seventh, Pagan lined a single off the glove of third baseman Wheeler. Pence put runners on the corners with his base hit and Posey's sacrifice fly to right plated Pagan to break the tie.

Furman Box Score | Bryant Box Score
CONWAY - After a two-day delay, the Coastal Carolina softball team finally got started in the Chanticleer Challenge and notched a pair of victories on Saturday, defeating in-state foe Furman 5-1 and Bryant University 2-1 at Coastal Carolina Softball Stadium.
The Chanticleers improved to 13-4 on the season and 12-2 on their homefield.
Kiana Quolas and Ashley Bagwell each picked up complete-game wins. Quolas (7-3) scattered six hits, struck out eight and walked none against Furman, while Bagwell tossed a three-hitter versus Bryant, with seven strikeouts and no walks.
Quolas also had two hits and three RBIs against the Paladins, while Kory Hayden had two hits in the game, including a home run. Bri Chiusano added a pair of hits and two runs scored.
Hayden gave the Chants a 2-0 lead in the first, hitting a two-run homer over the left-field fence for her ninth of the season and 39th of her career. Bri Chiusano had reached on a leadoff walk and stolen second.
Quolas dodged a Furman (9-9) threat to open the game as a leadoff single and a fielder's choice put runners on first and second with nobody out. However, the righthander struck out three straight batters to end the inning.
Quolas then retired the side in order in the second before the Paladins got back-to-back singles with two outs in the third. She followed by getting a popout to end that frame.
Coastal then made it 3-0 in the bottom of the third as Chiusano beat out a bunt single and came around to score on Quolas' RBI double to the gap in left-center.
Furman got on the board in the fourth on a home run by Ambree Muller, but the Chanticleers answered with two runs in the bottom of the inning. Kasey Oliver singled to the left side and Beth Kassuhn drew a walk. Quolas then ripped her second double of the game, again to left-center, plating two runs to up the lead to 5-1.
In the win over Bryant, Coastal scored single runs in the first two innings and Bagwell did the rest.
Chiusano led off the first with a walk, stole both second and third, giving her 19 stolen bases on the season. She went home when the throw to third went into left field. In the second, Maicie Hahn singled with two outs and scored on Jessie Winans' RBI double over the rightfielder.
Bryant (1-6) cut the deficit in half in the fourth using a single and an RBI double, but Bagwell retired the last 11 Bulldog batters after that to close out the game.
Hahn was the lone player on either team with multiple hits, going 2 for 3.
Coastal continues play in the tournament with two more games on Sunday, taking on Appalachian State at 12 p.m., followed by another matchup with Furman at 2:15 p.m.

We blame the industry for this… It used to be that when we wrapped up our Weekend Picks on Friday, we could coast through the weekend. There was little need to check in for updates –things were pretty much done. But clearly all that's changed.
So here's some of what's happened in the world of craft beer while you were off enjoying yourselves.
Hey we get it. You're busy and you've other pressing obligations that might get in the way of you hanging with us 24/7. But still, we can't have you missing all the good stuff. So as part of our ongoing commitment to bringing you the most unique and entertaining craft beer and lifestyle coverage on the face of the planet – and to keep you plugged into our continuing recklessness – we've introduced this new regular feature.
So welcome to ACB's Friday Wrap-Up - This Week's Good, Bad, & Ugly
Hey it's Friday…Work's been brutal this week so you're ready to shut down and have some fun. Well good, because we're all about it and we've got all kinds of awesome ideas for you. From the nation's coolest beer festivals to movies, music and cutting edge TV - we've got your back big-time.
So welcome to our awesome Weekend Picks…
Nothing slakes that late summer thirst when you're relaxing on a beach, camping near a lake, or just grilling on your deck, like a tall, frosty, malty glass of Pumpkin beer. Are you serious craft beer community? Seasonal creep gives me the seasonal creeps. Despite many bemoaning the short summer season here in New England, we're already witnessing beers packed with sugary pumpkin additives and Oktoberfest-shoved piles in stores. If the sight of pumpkins and Märzens sitting next to lemon shandies and beergaritas looks strange, it's not from drinking too much.
So many beers, So little time… Our friends at River North Brewery are re-releasing a barrel-aged beauty that you need to know about. We've that story for you plus other cool new releases from Brewery Vivant and Boulevard that you'll want to chase down!
We, the Average Joes at ACB, may not have full-time jobs brewing, selling, or judging beer, yet if you knew just how AWESOME some of our real jobs are, you'd better understand why we spend so much of our free time drinking beer. It all goes to show that we take our research quite seriously and wish to impart the wisdom we've stumbled upon, in the hopes of making your free time as rich as ours.
Hey it's Wednesday and that means it's Rumor Mill time…One of Indiana's largest craft breweries is about to get bigger, a September opening date is set for Lakeland's Brew Hub, Corona gets recalled (ha ha!), and ACB got a sneak peak and some inside deets at Richmond's upcoming The Answer Brewpub. We've also got an awesome new release that you'll want to chase down. So fasten your seat belts everybody… THIS WEEK'S RUMOR MILL IS ON!
We don't know about the rest of you, but we're stoked DC Beer Week is upon us yet again. If you've seen an events calendar lately, then you know the depth and variety of options taking place all over. Well, we decided to do some of the legwork for you so that you can do what you're supposed to do on this fine week – drink SERIOUS BEER.
Hey, we may not be professionals, but we know you don't have the time or energy to hunt down the newest big game beers on the market. So we have our experts trolling the interwebs, holding an ear to the rail, and keeping a wet finger in the wind to catch drift of the best beers blowing into stores as we speak. From Almanac's Dark Pumpkin Sour to DC Beer Week's Solidarity Session IPA, we've found all sorts of beers you'll want to chase down.
So welcome to another edition of Newbies –Your ultimate guide to great new craft beers!
There are few things better than taking an unscheduled day off from work and sticking it to the man for a long weekend of shenanigans. A great warrior was once asked what is best in life, and answered with "crushing your enemies, see them driven before you, and hearing the lamentation of their women." I contend it's screwing off of work to stuff your face with trendy street foods and craft beer in New York City.

Santa Anita Derby winner and Kentucky Derby favorite California Chrome had his final major workout before next Saturday's 140th Run for the Roses at Churchill Downs, going four furlongs at his Los Alamitos headquarters this morning in 48 1/5 under regular rider Victor Espinoza.
"It was a great work," trainer Art Sherman said. "He galloped out (five furlongs) in 1:01. Everything's looking good. I'm happy."
Sherman said California Chrome would leave for Kentucky from Ontario Airport at 3:30 a.m. Monday, along with other Southern California-based horses scheduled to run at Churchill Downs next weekend.
"The horse will go at 3:30, but I'll leave later, at 8 a.m.," Sherman said. "Alan (Sherman's son and assistant and a trainer in his own right) and (exercise rider Willie) Delgado will leave Sunday to be there early and have everything ready when the horse arrives.
"He'll stay at (trainer) Tom Proctor's barn there. Everything looks good right now. It's all worked out nice."
Asked if there was any undue pressure on him, what with California Chrome being the favorite and seeking to become the first California-bred to win the Derby since Decidedly in 1962, the 77-year-old Sherman took it in stride.
"No problem," he said. "I'd rather be 5-2 than 20-1. I'm looking forward to it."
Sherman had yet to read the deftly definitive article on California Chrome titled "The Accidental Favorite" by Tim Layden in this week's Sports Illustrated, saving that for the plane.
"I saw it on line," Sherman said, "but I'll read the story on the plane."
Added Espinoza: "It was just what we wanted, 48 seconds. I kind of timed it right. It wasn't too fast, it wasn't too slow. I just let him do his thing. I let him gallop out a little bit, not too much. I'm very happy and looking forward to the race." In other news:
Blue Grass Stakes winner Dance With Fate worked four furlongs on Santa Anita's main track Saturday in 47 flat for Peter Eurton.
"He looked great," the trainer said. "He galloped out (five furlongs) in a minute. He was just kind of cruising along. Amir Cedeno worked him. He always works him. I get good feedback from the guy who knows him better." Corey Nakatani has the mount in the Derby.
Eurton had contemplated working Dance With Fate on the turf, but aborted those plans.
"They canceled workouts on grass today," he said, "but I wouldn't have worked him on it anyway, because the rain made it a little slippery." Dance With Fate also is scheduled to leave on Monday's early morning flight from Ontario. "I'll be a couple hours after that," Eurton said.
Fashion Plate, winner of the Grade I Las Virgenes Stakes and the Grade I Santa Anita Oaks, worked five furlongs in company for Simon Callaghan in 1:00.40, her final major drill for the Kentucky Oaks next Friday.
"She worked great," the trainer said. "It was what we were looking for, a maintenance kind of breeze. She looked super. She'll walk tomorrow and then she'll ship on Monday."
Trainer Jeff Bonde said She's a Tiger worked four furlongs under Gary Stevens Saturday at Churchill Downs in 48 2/5.
"Gary said she went great," said Bonde, on hand at Santa Anita for today's Gold Rush card. She's a Tiger, Eclipse Award winner as outstanding 2-year-old filly of 2013, is set to make her 3-year-old debut in the Grade III, $175,000 Eight Belles at Churchill Downs next Friday.
Yesterday's Hall of Fame announcements from Saratoga Springs, New York, were met enthusiastically by horsemen, fans and management at Santa Anita Park, as news spread that Santa Anita "alums" trainer Gary Jones and jockey Alex Solis will be inducted Aug. 8 into the National Museum of Racing's Hall of Fame.
Jones, a two-time winner of the Grade I Santa Anita Handicap, with Best Pal in 1992 and Stuka in 1994, was a four-time leading trainer at Santa Anita's Winter Meet and he ranks eighth on the track's all-time win list with 576 victories. He's also eighth all-time by number of stakes wins, with 72. The Long Beach, California native won 15 overall training titles in Southern California.
Jones, who retired due to health reasons in 1996, has been succeeded in the business by his son, Marty, who is currently one of Southern California's top trainers. Gary Jones, 69, and his wife of 47 years, Joan, also have a son, Davey, who is an attorney based in Sherman Oaks. Jones and his wife currently reside in Del Mar.
"This is really the ultimate," said Jones by phone from his home in Del Mar. "Santa Anita is home to me. It's where I met my wife, it's where I came from. I also want to congratulate Alex. He's a great rider and we won a lot of races together. We won a Grade I with Freedom Cry in the (1993) Santa Monica (Handicap)."
Marty Jones, when reached by phone Friday morning on the Santa Anita backstretch, was understandably elated.
"I couldn't be more excited and proud of both my mom and dad," he said. "It's just a really special day and I'm looking forward to going back with them to Saratoga this summer."
Jones's late father, Farrell (Wild Horse) Jones, was an eight-time leading trainer at Santa Anita and amassed 413 victories prior to retiring in 1975.
A Panamanian native, Solis, 50, came to California full-time from Florida in 1985 and quickly stepped onto the national stage courtesy of retired trainer Melvin Stute, who legged him up for eight graded stakes wins aboard California-bred Snow Chief, including the 1985 Norfolk Stakes, '85 Hollywood Futurity, and 1986's Santa Anita Derby, Florida Derby, Preakness and Jersey Derby.
A winner of 16 riding titles in Southern California, he was a three-time leading rider at Santa Anita's Winter Meet. Solis prevailed in a three-way photo in winning his first title in 1992, winning 100 races to Eddie Delahoussaye's 98 and Kent Desormeaux's 97. Solis ranks sixth all-time at Santa Anita in both stakes and total races won with 151 and 1,354, respectively.
Through Thursday, Solis ranked 26th on racing's all-time win list with 4,986 career victories and his purse money-won of $234,994,221 put him 10th all-time.
A winner of Santa Anita's George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award in 1997, Solis's class was on display when interviewed live on HRTV Friday morning, as he was quick to assert that Stute, who has been nominated to the Hall of Fame a number of times, is also well deserving of induction into racing's ultimate fraternity.
"Snow Chief was one of my best horses, actually my 'big horse,' thank you to the guy (Mel Stute) that hopefully should be inducted into the Hall of Fame soon," Solis said. "He gave me my best chance and my first big horse."
In addition to Snow Chief in 1986, Solis won the Santa Anita Derby again in 2006 with Brother Derek. He is also a three-time Breeders' Cup winner, the 2000 Sprint aboard the Bruce Headley-conditioned Kona Gold, the 2003 Turf at Santa Anita aboard the Richard Mandella-trained Johar, and the 2003 Classic aboard Mandella's Pleasantly Perfect.
Santa Anita Derby Millionaire contestant Edward Espinoza will return to Santa Anita next Saturday, Kentucky Derby Day, as The Great Race Place will provide Espinoza with a $7,500 win ticket on California Chrome in the Run for the Roses.
Espinoza, 72, from Whittier, banked $8,500 on California Chrome's Santa Anita Derby win, as the track provided him with a $5,000 win ticket on the California-bred sensation.
In the event that California Chrome wins the Kentucky Derby, Espinoza will win his original $7,500 bet, plus the profits, if any, from his Derby wager.
If California Chrome wins the Derby and is entered for the May 17 Preakness Stakes, Espinoza will be flown to Baltimore courtesy of Santa Anita and the track will place a $10,000 wager on "Chrome" in the second leg of the Triple Crown at Pimlico Race Course.
If the Art Sherman-trained chestnut wonder wins at Pimlico, Espinoza will be in line to win a $1 million bonus if California Chrome wins the Belmont Stakes June 7, and thus would become racing's first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978.

Expert contributors to the 2014 Wagering Guide include Bob Neumeier and Mike Battaglia of NBC Sports, HRTV's White and Jeff Siegel, Dick Jerardi of the Philadelphia Daily News and 'At The Races' radio host Steve Byk. Renowned clocker Gary Young will be live at Churchill Downs to provide his thoughts on pre-Kentucky Derby workouts and preparations.
"Providing racing fans and our customers with the information they need to better play the races is incredibly important to us," said Xpressbet Senior Vice President of Marketing, Kerry Carlson.

GAO report shows success in health insurer appeals
As many as 50% of some appeals prompt health insurers to reverse their decisions, according to a report from the Government Accountability Office. Insurers frequently deny claims due to billing errors, missing information or judgments on whether the care or service is appropriate, the investigative arm of Congress said in a report released Wednesday. These denials can be based on mistakes like an incorrect code on a claim submitted by a doctor's office, said Nancy Davenport-Ennis, CEO of Patient Advocate Foundation, a not-for-profit that helps people appeal claims denials. "You've got a lot of people in America who are ultimately paying a bill they don't owe because they don't realize it's an incorrect code," said Davenport-Ennis, who wasn't involved in the government study. The GAO studied health insurer rejection rates at the request of Congress, which wanted a better picture of the issue as part of the health care overhaul it passed last year.

Boeing recently signed an US$89 million contract with the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop and fly a high-altitude unmanned aircraft (UAV) for theVulture II demonstration program. The solar-powered aircraft,SolarEagle, is a full-scale demonstrator designed to stay continuouslyaloft for five years at high altitudes.
"Boeing has a highly reliable solar-electric design that will meetthe challenge in order to perform persistent communications,intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions from altitudesabove 60,000 feet," according to Boeing Phantom Works Project ManagerPat O'Neil,
Solar panels will be mounted on the craft's 400-foot wing, which isdesigned to increase aerodynamic performance and increase solar power.Solar energy will be harvested during daylight hours and stored in fuelcells to provide power during the night.
Equipped with high-efficiency electric motors and propellers, theSolarEagle will remain in the upper atmosphere for 30 days duringtesting.
The aircraft is being developed by the same team that is working onthe super-sleek Phantom Eye, an unmanned, hydrogen-powered demonstratorthat can stay aloft at 65,000 feet for up to four days. Earlier thissummer, Boeing unveiled the high altitude long endurance (HALE) aircraft at a ceremony in St. Louis.
According the Boeing Phantom Works President Darryl Davis, "PhantomEye is the first of its kind and could open up a whole new market incollecting data and communications." With a 150-foot wingspan, PhantomEye is powered by two 2.3-liter, four-cylinder engines that will cruiseat about 170 miles per hour.
The debut flight of the Phantom Eye is expected to take place earlynext year while the SolarEagle's first demo flight will take place in2014. Boeing, the world's largest manufacturer of commercial jetlinersand military aircraft combined, employs about 160,000 people in 70different countries.
