Storyboard: The RIFT project - conclusion
The RIFT project was a complete and utter failure. I'd like to say that this was something that I came to conclude very late in the project, but honestly it happened early on. Both Ms. Lady and I knew that the project had failed irrevocably, and while I'd like to think we tried gamely to keep ...
Storyboard: The RIFT project - week 3
I can't believe that this has almost been going on for a month. Well, all right, I can believe it but still find it somewhat baffling. Yes, it's the penultimate installment of RIFT project recaps, and it's been an interesting week. This one has been mostly focused around broadening the scope, ...
Storyboard: The RIFT project - week 2
This week, the RIFT project slowed down a little bit. Oh, we didn't stop playing by any stretch of the imagination, but when you're also playing (and roleplaying) in two other games, you're going to find some time crunches, especially when the novelty of a game starts to wear off and gets replace...
Storyboard: The RIFT project - week 1
While I had expected this project to get shoehorned into a footnote over the next few weeks, the majority vote was in favor of seeing this recapped every week. So it's time for the first recap of the RIFT project, which will cover just about a week of time spent in the game as of Wednesday. That ...

Free agents whom the Cowboys might eye this off-season
Greg Hardy, DE, Carolina: Hardy is going to command big money on the open market, which makes it unlikely that the Cowboys will be among the serious bidders for his services. Hardy accumulated a career-high 15 sacks and forced a fumble for a Carolina defense that was stingy.

Originally written on Fox Sports Ohio | Last updated 11/18/14
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Unless something dastardly happens to catchers Devin Mesoraco and Ryan Hanigan, fans aren't likely to see much of catcher Corky Miller this year. That doesn't minimize his importance or his contributions to the Cincinnati Reds pitching staff during spring training and over the course of the long, long season. Miller, 36, is one of the most beloved players in the clubhouse by one and all and his knowledge of pitchers that is stored in his brain is endless. And the Reds pitchers fear not to tap into that fountain of experience -- 14 years in professional baseball, mostly as a back-up catcher when he is in the majors and 904 games in the minor leagues. Everybody with any knowledge of the game knows that some day Miller, a native and resident of Yucaipa, Calif. will be coaching in the majors and is prime fodder to sit in a manager's chair. So it is worthwhile to listen to the man with the fu Manchu mustaches when he talks about the Reds starting rotat...

RemoteRemote for 3G iPod Now Shipping
Engineered Audio is now shipping the RemoteRemote wireless remote for 3G iPods. I received mine today. It comes with a receiver that fits snugly into the headphone jack, and a small, light, nice-looking key-fob remote control. Supposedly it should be able to let you control your iPod around corners and through walls. It looks cool, and well made, but I have had no luck with it at all…
First you have to pry open the remote and install the battery… by the way there is a little warning in the instructions that says, "if you put the battery in wrong it may cause damage to the key fob.", which was a little intimidating. Then after you put it back together, you have to program it to work with the receiver. Well after about 45 minutes of "pushing the rewind and fast forward buttons simultaneously for five seconds, and the pressing the play button" with no success what-so-ever, and then prying it open again to see if I had the battery in right, I finally gave up on the sucker. Talk about frustrating! I'm going to contact them tomorrow to see if they can help me out. Is there anyone else out there who bought one of these that have actually gotten it to work? If so, tell us about it.

U. launches investigation into alleged misconduct in swim program and how it was handled
SALT LAKE CITY — The University of Utah will conduct an extensive investigation into alleged misconduct in the swimming and diving program and allegations that the university's athletic department didn't properly respond to the alleged offenses.
University of Utah President David Pershing announced Monday that the university, on the recommendation of athletics director Chris Hill, would immediately begin an independent investigation.
Hill met throughout the day Monday in his office with approximately a dozen media representatives in an attempt to smooth out the controversy that has developed since allegations of misconduct in his swimming program became national news over the weekend.
U. swim coach Greg Winslow was fired last week after allegations of sexual abuse with a minor in his previous job in Arizona became public and were followed by allegations that the athletic department knew of numerous problems in the swim program over several years but failed to do anything.
Two days after speaking to the Deseret News about the problems in his swimming and diving program, Hill had little more to say Monday afternoon.
Hill's basic message Monday was that he can't talk about the investigation, but that independent investigators will get to the bottom of the whole thing and make recommendations going forward.
"We want to find out what we knew, when we knew, what we did about it and if there's anything we can do different if the recommendation comes out that we need to do that," Hill said. "We care about our student-athletes and I personally want (the investigators) to do it right. There may be some things come up that help all of us to do a better job."
On Monday morning, Pershing issued a statement about the allegations against the swim coach and athletic department:
"This past week, public reports of alleged misconduct by a former swim coach and of the University of Utah's response to those allegations, have called into question the university's processes and our commitment to our student-athletes. Though I cannot comment on specific allegations, I can state unequivocally that any conduct by a staff member or student that jeopardizes the safety and well-being of any student, will not be tolerated."
Pershing said Hill asked him to appoint an independent investigator to review these allegations.
"One of my major goals since becoming president is to enhance the quality of the student experience, and that certainly includes our student-athletes. I believe that transparency is essential in such cases and I have authorized a comprehensive, independent review of the university's swim program, with investigators reporting directly to me and presenting their ultimate findings to me."
Pershing said he asked two attorneys, Michael Glazier and Alan Sullivan, to lead the investigation. He said Glazier is a partner in a nationally recognized law firm Bond, Schoeneck & King, and "has an impeccable record and experience in higher education and collegiate athletics investigations."
Of Sullivan, Pershing said, "He is a highly respected member of the Salt Lake City legal community and is a trusted lawyer of over four decades with the regional law firm of Snell & Wilmer.
"Specifically, I have charged Mr. Glazier and Mr. Sullivan to determine what, if any, incidents occurred within the swimming program; when did those incidents take place; what information was conveyed to the University about these incidents; what, if any, actions were taken in response; and what recommendations, if implemented, would better ensure the safety and well-being of our student-athletes at the university. I have requested that they conduct their review with the utmost urgency while ensuring that it is comprehensive and accurate."
Pershing said he and Hill are committed to providing Utah's student-athletes with a "safe and positive experience" at the university. He also said he would not comment further until the review was completed "to protect the integrity of the independent review."
Hill said he is directly over football, men's and women's basketball and gymnastics, while other assistants in the athletic department are over the rest of the sports.
Pete Oliszczak, the former associate athletic director who was directly over swimming, abruptly resigned in October, but Hill said he couldn't comment on the reasons for his departure, calling it a "personnel matter.
"We want to make sure going forward that if we can get better in how we do things that we do. That's real important because we have 400 student-athletes. We've got to do right by everybody," Hill said.
"We've got some things we've got to make sure we look at and there may be some things that come up that will help all of us to do a better job if that's what the conclusion is. I want to see what kind of recommendations come out so we can make sure we do things right."
Hill had the investigation would begin immediately, but said he had "no idea" when it would be completed.

Liam Brickhill at Newlands
October 21, 2012
It's usually the captain's duty to perform the post mortem after even the most grisly of defeats, but Perth Scorchers' skipper Marcus North couldn't bring himself to face the (admittedly tiny) press corps after his team's three-wicket defeat to Delhi Daredevils sent them crashing out of the Champions League, Simon Katich appearing in his place.
Katich, a senior player even in a squad that includes the likes of Brad Hogg, Herschelle Gibbs and Paul Collingwood, didn't mince his words. "We got what we deserved," Katich said. "We didn't prepare as well as we should have, and we paid the price."
The match had been a close one, but both Katich and North had every reason to be a touch grumpy. Leading an undercooked side who hadn't played a competitive match together since their defeat to Sydney Sixers in the final of the Big Bash in January, North also had to do without the services of Michael Hussey and Mitchell Johnson, who both played for their IPL franchises. The result was a pair defeats to the Titans and the Delhi Daredevils, and a washout against the Kolkata Knight Riders.
Katich refused to be drawn into an explanation as to what the preparation problems were, saying only: "I'm not going to go into details about that, but we got what we deserved, simple as that. We haven't shown what we're capable of in this tournament. We had a very good Big Bash last year, but in this tournament we've let ourselves down."
The Scorchers were, indeed, a dominant force in the Big Bash, their successful run ended only by the Sydney Sixers in the tournament final at the WACA. They had three of the top six run-scorers of the tournament in their side in Mitchell Marsh, Gibbs and North. Marsh managed a half-century against the Titans, but neither Gibbs nor North have contributed as much as was needed.
The story was the same at Newlands on Sunday. No batsman made a telling contribution, and as Katich summed it up: "The platform was there, the execution wasn't."
Such are the fine lines by which this tournament is drawn, the Scorchers might still have been in with a chance of qualifying for the semi-finals had they managed to beat the Daredevils. As it stands, they'll have to make do with a dead-rubber against the Auckland Aces on Tuesday before they fly home. There is little more than pride to play for, and Katich admitted as much.
"I'd like to think they'll have a lot of pride in their own performance and the team's performance," he said. "We certainly haven't played anywhere near what we did last summer, and hopefully that's going to bug quite a few of the guys to put in a good performance to finish well."
The taking of positives is a cricketing staple after every match, and Katich suggested that the silver lining in the Scorchers' campaign was the exposure it gave to some of the squad's less experienced members.
"There's a lot of guys in our squad that haven't played a lot of international cricket, and they're trying to press for higher honours," he said. "It's a great experience for them to come up, and for Beery [Michael Beer] to bowl at the likes of Pietersen, Sehwag and Ross Taylor and face Morne Morkel, because these guys are all very good international players. So from their development point of view it's been a positive, but from a team point of view we've let ourselves down."

NEWTOWN, Conn. — The youngest victims of Friday's mass shooting at Newtown's Sandy Hook School had to be identified by photos to protect their parents, the chief medical examiner said Saturday.
"We took picture of their facial features. It's much easier for the families to do it like that, we felt it would be best to do it this way," H. Wayne Carver II, the chief medical examiner said. "You can sort of you can control the situation depending on the photographer and I have a very good photographer."
Carver said the children were wearing "cute kid's stuff."
"They were first graders," he said.
Carver said each victim had been hit "more than once."
"This was a very devastating set of injuries," he said.
Officials said Saturday that all the victims were shot with a long rifle.
The suspect in Friday morning's massacre, widely identified as 20-year-old Adam Lanza, of Newtown, was found dead inside the school. Twenty-seven people, including 20 children, were killed in the massacre.

Good poem Shazia, and any admirer of william blake gets my vote (Report) Reply
Shahzia Batool
My Scattered Thoughts vii
Would you like to let me try
to read the book of your life
though it's not written in my own language
rather it seems to be written in Greek?
i am sorry, how can i read
these alphas and omegas of your life?
but, let me take another try,
would you like to let me stay
to explore the realm of your mind so vast?
though i don't claim to perform the feat
i just wish i could read the starry dreams
scattered on the skies
of your closed eyes
would you let me break the seal
of your obstinate soul,
the marble, stone, cold soul?
once broken, you will remain
no more hard, because
i am there to pick the shards
of your torn heart-but
No, my apologies!
let me be bold enough
to take all the tall claims back, i realise
i am a timid dreamer, (not always but now it seems so)
i wonder what this poetry is
like the old romantic 'deceiving elf'
it makes one forget the narrow bounds
of one's own courage level,
yes, let me be bold enough to admit
you are beyond me like Greek,
you are beyond me like Mathematics,
like myth,
i surrender before me
- - - - - - - - - - - -
i give up!

Mathematics is a language in which every digit is truth.
Every digit can be twisted so the language has no truth.
It's all Greek to me, has a ring of truth in it's lies.
They have mathematics in Greek that speaks the same language
as the one that you do speak.
You speak of elfs, and courage, and poetry as if they are just a myth.
When it is just another truth found deep inside in the language of the heart you speak. (Report) Reply

Valsa George (6/19/2013 2:36:00 AM)
The last two lines greatly confuse me. Is it a self addressed poem? So do you mean to say that you are a mystery, you yourself cannot fathom and uncover and that you finally surrender? If it were addressed to a separate entity, say poetry, it should have been 'I surrender before you'- - Any way a wonderful write! (Report) Reply

U.S. Coast Guard boating statistics estimate 80% of all reported fatalities occur on boats where the operator has not received safety training. As Memorial Day approaches and crowds flock to the water, May 17-23 has been designated National Safe Boating Week. You can help promote secure practices by sharing these tips for a safe boating season.
1. Wear a Lifejacket
Last year, the number one cause of boating fatalities in Massachusetts was drowning. None of the victims involved were wearing a lifejacket. Be sure to equip your boat with jackets in appropriate sizes and types for the intended wearers – even pets!
Massachusetts law stipulates that year-round, anyone younger than 12 years old must wear a life jacket while onboard a boat, as must all water skiers and personal watercraft users. Each vessel's owner or operator is responsible for making sure that life preservers are available for each passenger and, if required, worn by their passengers.
2. Stay Alert
Travel at reasonable speeds and abide by state boating laws. Always avoid operating boats under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
3. Take a Safety Course
The Massachusetts Environmental Police (MEP) offer a state and nationally approved safe boating course. Young boaters between 12-15 years old are required to take the course for a boating safety certificate to operate a motorboat without supervision. Teens between 16-17 years old who wish to operate a personal watercraft (PWC) must also receive a boating safety certificate via the course.
While adult boaters are not required to obtain a certificate, the course is recommended as a safety refresher. Classes are free and run 10-12 hours in length.
4. Check the Weather
Be aware of conditions on the water when planning a day outdoors. Know the tides, currents, sandbars, and other features of the area in which you will be boating. Understand that boating conditions can change quickly, and know your limits.
5. Practice Clean Boating
Oil leaks, fuel spills, boat sewage, and detergents all run the risk of polluting water and shore areas. Reduce the effects of boating on the environment by disposing of materials safely at boat pumpout facilities. For more tips, take a look at the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management's simple steps to clean boating.
Secure practices are easy to adopt and keep boaters safe on both land and water. Share these tips with others to spread awareness of National Safe Boating Week. Enjoy the summer season by celebrating on the water and boating responsibly!
What are your boating safety tips for others? Share in the comments below, or by tweeting us @MassGov.

Docker offers a new, lightweight approach to application portability. Applications are shipped using a common container format and managed with a high-level API. Their processes run within isolated namespaces that abstract the operating environment independently of the distribution, versions, network setup, and other details of this environment. This "containerization" has often been nicknamed "the new virtualization." But containers are more than lightweight virtual machines. Beyond their small...

The move in recent years to cloud computing services and architectures has added significant pace to the application development and deployment environment. When enterprise IT can spin up large computing instances in just minutes, developers can also design and deploy in small time frames that were unimaginable a few years ago. The consequent move toward lean, agile, and fast development leads to the need for the development and operations sides to work very closely together. Thus, DevOps become...

Drought is mixed bag for Missouri's 7 largest wineries: SLIDESHOW

Cory Bomgaars, wine maker at Les Bourgeois Vineyards in Rocheport, said that there is an advantage to a dry season. "You're able to have cleaner fruit, reduce your sprays and let the grapes ripen with confidence that they won't have disease issues." But he said some irrigation can't keep up with the demand for water and some berries are becoming dehydrated. But, with dehydration, the flavors are more concentrated.
Bomgaars said that tourism traffic has remained steady at Les Bourgeois, but he has seen a shift in how people spend their time at the winery. "People are spending less time in the outdoor wine garden and more time in the tasting room. There has also been an increase in the number of tours and educational part of our business."
Tony Kooyumjian, owner of Augusta Winery, echoed Bomgaars' report. "Because 95 percent of the vineyards are irrigated, the drought didn't really have an effect," he said. "The positive effect is that we were able to control the amount of water each plant got and to grow the grapes exactly the way we want to."
Visitors to Augusta dropped off about 20 percent during the hottest weeks, Kooyumjian said. "But it picked back up again. Now we've had some really nice weekends and started to pick up." Augusta will typically see 1,200-1,300 visitors per day during the peak time in October and 500-600 visitors on a normal weekend, he said.
Approximately 60 percent of the crop at Crown Valley Winery in Ste. Genevieve has sustained some type of damage this year, said Bryan Siddle, its director of operations. "We had sustainable frost that hurt about 30 percent of our crop. Then 20-30 percent of the crop was affected by the drought and high heat," he said.

Trip to Iraq humbles, impresses Jim Mora
Former Seahawks coach meets several American troops, says top question was whether NFL would return this season
Seattle Times staff columnist
BELLEVUE — Everywhere Jim Mora went, from north to south, from Kirkuk to Baghdad to Basra, the first question always was the same question.
"Are we going to have football this year?"
As the NFL lockout crawls to a conclusion, let's hope the owners and players take a moment to remember their audience. Let's hope they consider the medicinal benefits of escapism. Let's remind them that their influence stretches far beyond the stadiums.
"Guys told us, 'We have to have an NFL season.' They said the NFL season is what they look forward to over there," said Mora, who visited Iraq earlier this month. "It's so important to these guys. It's such a great distraction. I wish every athlete and every coach could feel what we felt.
"I just thought that if the negotiators, the decision-makers, would just go over there and listen to these soldiers who are over there serving our country, they would all say, "Jiminy Christmas, what are we arguing about? Let's get over ourselves.' "
Mora learned that in Iraq, the NFL was the great escape.
"Here we are, 7,000 miles away from home in this God-awful place," he said. "It's 120 degrees. There's dust storms. It's nasty, ugly, awful. These guys haven't seen their families in months. They're doing these thankless jobs in this horrible environment, and doing them with smiles on their faces.
"But their biggest concern was not, are we going to take on indirect fire tonight. It was, are we going to have a season? They were really worried about that. The games give them something to talk about all week. That's the galvanizing power of the NFL."
Along with his father, Jim; Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt; and Houston coach Gary Kubiak, Mora, the former Seahawks coach, went to Iraq as part of a USO tour.
He called the trip humbling.
"Initially, there was this allure of going to this exotic, foreign place," Mora said. "But then the trip became something I felt I had to do, almost like it was my duty to do it. It started out as something I thought would be fun, but it became something more solemn that needed to be done."
Mora said he didn't know what to expect from the troops. He wondered about their morale, wondered if some believed the U.S. had forgotten about them.
"I wasn't sure if they were going to be down in the dumps, second-guessing why they were there, what they were doing there," he said. "But I was just absolutely amazed. I can sincerely say that of the thousands of soldiers we met, I didn't hear one person with a negative attitude, with a complaint. They were all upbeat about their jobs and about their mission."
Mora, who will be an analyst for CBS and a studio guest on the NFL Network this season, covered the entire country during the five-day trip. He flew in planes that made dangerous combat landings and takeoffs, and flew from base to base in Black Hawk helicopters.
He met soldiers who had yet to see their recently born children. He spent time with special ops forces and saw similarities between their personalities and those of some of the elite players he has coached.
"There was a confidence in the eyes of the special ops guys that you see in elite athletes," Mora said. "These guys were the elite of the elite. They were putting their lives on the line on a daily basis, but they had this way about them."
One night after spending about four hours with these special ops forces, Mora told his father he felt very safe knowing those guys were on duty.
"They had this unity and camaraderie that reminded me of the San Francisco 49ers when I was coaching there," Mora said. "There was this real peer-to-peer accountability because their lives depended on each other. And they competed in everything they did.
"That's how the great football teams and great football players are. They have this amazing mental toughness, a hardness. They blew me away. You could walk up to these guys and tell they were different. You have to be careful about comparing football to war, but they had a look that reminded me of Ronnie Lott or Brett Favre, but just in a completely different realm."
The star of their USO show, as it turned out, was Mora's former Marine father who was a head coach in Indianapolis and New Orleans.
Wherever they went, soldiers asked Mora's father to re-enact his famous postgame "Playoffs?!" meltdown/speech. Dad always obliged.
"It was such a cool experience," Mora said. "I was so impressed by the professionalism of the people in the military, whether they were 18-year-olds or 40-year-olds. Their selflessness, their level of commitment, that was very revealing for me."
For all the reasons Jim Mora mentions, these guys deserve some football.

Pro Soccer Talk asked each of our writers to submit a list of the 50 top players heading to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, which would then be combined to make our Top 100 players for the tournament. The rationale was to be pretty broad, with neither limitation nor minimums placed on number of representatives per country or position. After the submitted lists, players were given weighted points for their position on individual lists. A bonus was given if a player was named by each of our writers.
Surely there will be some awful omissions, players placed higher or lower than expected and a bevy of other issues with the list… but that's why we do lists. There's much to be discussed. Are there really 51 players better than No. 52? Are English and American players being overvalued (probably and maybe)?
In the meantime, we promise not to make you click "next" 100 times. Just check back every day for the next 25 until we arrive at Friday's thrilling finale.
MORE: Pro Soccer Talk's Top 100 World Cup Players: 100-76 | 75-51 | 50-26 | 25-1
75. Joao Moutinho, Portugal
74. Vasilis Torosidis, Greece
73. Jackson Martinez, Colombia
72. Solomon Kalou, Ivory Coast
71. Stephan Lichsteiner, Switzerland
Analysis: Kalou has been dynamite for Lille since transferring from Chelsea in 2012, while Torosidis is criminally underappreciated. When you see the "70s" next to these players names, it puts into focus the intensity of the World Cup.
69. Thibault Courtois, Belgium
68. Asamoah Gyan, Ghana
67. Gokhan Inler, Switzerland
66. Oribe Peralta, Mexico
65. Michael Bradley, United States
64. Mario Mandzukic, Croatia
63. Miralem Pjanic, Bosnia and Herzegovina
62. Samuel Eto'o, Cameroon
61. Sergio Busquets, Spain
Analysis: Is Bradley getting supreme treatment from an American web site? Maybe, but you could say Peralta gets a North American bump as well. Pjanic could really boost his stock this summer, while Eto'o may be getting a respectful nod. Can he defy his age and critics?
59. Dirk Kuyt, Netherlands
58. Mile Jedinak, Australia
57. James Rodriguez, Colombia
56. Kevin Prince-Boateng, Ghana
55. David Silva, Spain
54. Paul Pogba, France
53. Gerard Pique, Spain
52. Marco Reus, Germany
51. Gonzalo Higuain, Argentina
Analysis: Higuain's hat trick against South Korea in 2010 remains one of the more memorable performances of the tournament, while Jedinak will lead the Socceroos after giving Crystal Palace an MVP performance in the Premier League. Klaassen is a freak show, while the 22-year-old Rodriguez remains one to watch.

Davy Klaasen is a freak show, but he's not on the list (yet)..

Silva at 55?! He's top 20 — at a minimum. Joao Moutinho is also ranked far too low but a list like this is difficult. Silva's ranking is frankly criminal though.

Surprised to see Gotze so low.

Courtois is the best goalie in the world.
