We are looking into HTML5 video to deliver interactive video experiences such as controlling the video via hyperlinks (e.g. allowing the user to jump to portions of the video which have not been downloaded yet) as well as JavaScript responding to events from the video (e.g. something happening when video reaches 00:25).
For test videos this seems to be possible with libraries such as Video.js and delivers a decent experience in the modern browsers.
I am reading a text from 2009 which seems to indicate that soon (perhaps today), that modern browsers will catch up to and surpass the features of streaming protocols and servers:
RTSP has been created for video communications analogous to voice-over-IP applications. It is not the best protocol for on-demand streaming, where HTTP with byte range requests achieves the same result. Extra functionality that RTSP supports is also increasingly available with HTTP progressive download approaches. Only the live communication case is one that may require a RTP/RTSP implementation over UDP to work with the required low latency.
RTSP-like streaming approaches that require special server and client software have increasingly failed in an HTTP dominated world. For example, YouTube is entirely provided through HTTP progressive download and does not use RTMP. In this situation, vendors have embraced HTTP progressive download and developed their own feature extensions to improve HTTP-based streaming.
What future do streaming protocols such as RTSP/RTMP and video streaming servers such as Adobe Streaming Server have when seen in the light of the increasing features that browsers are adding to support HTML5 video?

Echelon Corporation, the creator of the LonWorks(R) device networking platform for networking everyday devices to each other and the Internet, announced the expansion of European support for the LonWorks platform with the founding of the LonUsers(R) España user group, the 14th LonUsers group in Europe.
A LonUsers group is a country-based organization typically comprising manufacturers, end-users, consultants, and integrators using the LonWorks device networking platform. The new group intends to accelerate the adoption of the LonWorks platform in the Spanish home, building automation markets through education and market programs with institutional, trade, educational, and commercial organizations. Additionally, the group will serve as a marketing and training resource for manufacturers, end-users, and integrators new to LonWorks networking.
LonUsers España joins existing groups from Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the UK that have a collective membership of more than 600 companies.
"Home automation is currently the primary market for the LonWorks device networking platform in Spain -- giving our group a more consumer-oriented emphasis than those of our sister LonUsers groups in Europe," said Arturo Garcia, LonUsers España's president. "Three of our founding members -- Simon, BJC, and Isde -- have extensive channels that directly reach the end-user market. We believe that this will allow us to make the LonWorks platform the de facto home automation standard in Spain, and ultimately the building automation standard as well."
Mark Ossel, Echelon's vice president of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, added, "We're very pleased that some companies in Spain that have adopted the LonWorks device networking platform have already established a strong market presence in the home automation industry. It is our belief that by formally establishing a user group devoted to sharing information, driving standard use of the platform, and educating end-users, the Spanish home automation market will grow dramatically, and the commercial building market for LonWorks device networks will be quickly established and expanded."

jruby-httpclient is a thin wrapper around Apache's HttpClient (version 4.1). I found that Net::HTTP was not threadsafe in JRuby. This project is an attempt to make a threadsafe HTTP client for JRuby.

- Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it
- Fork the project
- Start a feature/bugfix branch
- Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
- Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
- Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.

Do you love competitive Dota? Of course you do. You could be keeping up with Dota while reading this article about keeping up with Dota. How very meta.
These games were created as single player experiences, but enterprising players decided to build multiplayer mods for them, and they really change the gameplay.
Most modern games involve a single person using a single phone, staring down at their screen and blocking out everyone around them, but not this one.

The attorney for a man accused in the torture killing of Carina Saunders said Tuesday he expects his client to be exonerated, a day after police in Bethany turned over the case to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.
OSBI taking over investigation of Carina Saunders' slaying
Luis Enrique Ruiz and Jimmy Lee Massey Jr. are facing first-degree murder charges in the October 2011 slaying of Saunders, 19, of Mustang, whose dismembered body was found in a duffel bag behind a Bethany grocery store.
Ruiz's attorney, Derek Chance, said his client is extremely pleased with the decision "to involve the OSBI" in the murder investigation.
"From day one we have had serious questions and concerns about the poor investigation," Chance told The Oklahoman.
"We remain confident that Luis will be exonerated, and this late investigative effort supports our contention. Of equal concern is the fact that the actual killer is still at large."
Bethany Police Chief Phil Cole, citing the need for a fresh perspective, asked the OSBI to take over the death investigation Monday afternoon.
'Fresh set of eyes'
"After meeting with District Attorney (David) Prater, we both feel that the investigation would be best served by allowing an agency with greater resources and a 'fresh set of eyes' to take over this complex case," Cole wrote in an email.
Prater is not commenting about the case because it is an active investigation.
In July, Prater's office filed first-degree murder charges against Ruiz and Massey.

Comment: Cars aren't the most expensive element anymore ... (Score 1) 453
In private powered transport, cars aren't the most expesive element anymore. Unjamed roads and especially parking space are. In Europe at least.
So, yes, if we'd all take a step back and turn on our brain, no one would want to own a car, they'd rather own the right to use a reservationable parking space. Cars would be used on-demand.As they are in the car-sharing offerings poping up all over Europe - even in Germany! German automotive manufacturers actually are scratching their heads, because there is a whole generation growing up in Germany just now that simply isn't interested in buying cars.
Our cities are absolutely packed with them.
So, yes, there are tons of insentives to move the burden of ownership somewhere else, away from the private owner.

Poster I just finished for a !!! show next week...
"All of you coachella 'regulars' have nasty boy pussies and itchy dick4's on your asses.
Why don't you all make like a tree and get chopped down and die. You all have been dreadfully mean to me.
I Hate you. All of you. None of you will ever get to see a womans chest meat or finger blast hott cougies like me.
Fuck you all. Consider this my resignation.
Fair the well, you elitest scumbags."
Faxman75, who has clearly had enough
Yes sir. I actually only contacted the artists themselves. Most Sasquatch posters are almost impossible to find after a full year has passed. If I ever see one of these again I'll sell my unborn children in order to obtain it.
Yea...I definitely cringed when I saw that picture you posted of them haha.
Here's the Wilco poster from their shows at the Greek in Berkeley.
Coachella - 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013
SS Coachella - 2012
Mondo released their edition on 9/06 for $45. Sold out in two minutes.
Kevin released his artist edition on 9/27 for $70. Sold out in 15 minutes.
Just sign up for the mondo newsletter. 1 email a week. Really classy and simple. https://app.e2ma.net/app2/audience/s...9/1406483/?v=a Also, check out the hookup thread in the expressobeans for sale section. There have been cheaper copies being sold on there than ebay by a long shot.
Kevin Tong is often in their stable of artists and a bunch of other awesome folks. They also have an on going license for Jurassic Park so there are to be more posters in the future for that series:
Others so far:
Aaron Horkey
JC Richard
It'll be great to see more since the 3 so far are already so varied.
Uhhhhhhhh good thing this isn't the poster for Friday night at Staples.
This is hideous! It's a shame too, since they tend to have really good posters.
The best thing about a poster should not be the potential of the paper stock to look awesome. "3D Lenticular SeaSink Translucent paper" my ass.
I think Kevin Tong is doing 1 of the 2 Staples Center posters!
Got my AP of Tong's Jurassic Park in the mail today, can't wait to open it up!

are the bandannas a blood/crips reference - sort of tongue and cheek for a Los Angeles show?
My thoughts as well.
$60. Probably the cheapest MBW around. But not for long once the people walking around here with 8 poster tubes (not exaggerating) get them online.
I like it a lot

A kiss may be a kiss and a sigh just a sigh, but all home theater chairs are not created equal. Fortress Seating's Casablanca was built for serious sprawling.
Loungers are apparently becoming a popular option for the home theater's front row. Add this baby and there will be no need to shout, "Down in front!" We are willing to get horizontal there, or anywhere else there's a spot to spread out.
As far as craftsmanship, this unit is a beauty. It features a crafted camelback, tapered alder feet, and nail-heard detail (for another $1,500). The seatback and cushions are stuffed with down and high-density foam, creating a feeling of "oneness" with the couch.

Ryan Kalish Rumors
Minor Moves: Urbina, Korecky, Whelan, Fuenmayor
Here are today's minor moves from around the league, via Baseball America's Matt Eddy on Twitter.
- The Mets have released Juan Urbina, reports Baseball America's Matt Eddy (via Twitter). In five years with the Mets, the 21-year-old left-handed pitcher failed to pass Low-A ball. While he generally posted strong strikeout rates in limited work, he walked nearly the same number of hitters. The once-prospect signed for $1.2MM in 2009 and is the son of former big leaguer Ugueth Urbina.
- The Phillies have signed outfielders Brian Bogusevic and Darin Mastroianni to minor league deals. Bogusevic last appeared in the big leagues in 2013 and spent last season hitting .260/.349/.411 in 311 plate appearances for Triple-A New Orleans in the Marlins system. Mastroianni appeared briefly for the Twins and Blue Jays in 2014 but spent most of the season with Triple-A Buffalo, hitting .267/.349/.369 in 393 plate appearances.
- The Blue Jays have re-signed righty Bobby Korecky. The 35-year-old had a strong season in the Buffalo bullpen, posting a 1.97 ERA with 8.4 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 in 64 innings.
- The Athletics have signed righty Kevin Whelan, who briefly appeared with the Tigers in 2014 and a 2.70 ERA with 11.2 K/9 and 4.4 BB/9 in 43 1/3 innings with Triple-A Toledo.
- The Royals have signed 24-year-old corner infielder Balbino Fuenmayor, who hit .347/.383/.610 in 413 plate appearances with Quebec in the Canadian-American Association, earning BA's Indy League Player Of The Year award. The Blue Jays released Fuenmayor in 2013.
- Cubs outfielder Ryan Kalish, White Sox outfielder Michael Taylor and Phillies shortstop Andres Blanco have all elected free agency. All three players were recently outrighted.
- The Tigers have re-signed third baseman Mike Hessman. The 36-year-old Hessman has gotten few chances in the big leagues, but he's still a feared slugger in the International League, where he hit 28 home runs and batted .248/.330/.500 in 2014. The veteran has 417 career minor league home runs, including 307 at the Triple-A level.

Outrighted: Kalish, Valaika, Vitters, Meek
Here are the day's outright assignments:
- The Cubs have made a series of roster trims, according to Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune (via Twitter). Outfielder Ryan Kalish and infielders Chris Valaika and Josh Vitters have each been outrighted, according to Gonzales. Righty James McDonald has elected free agency as well.
- The Orioles have outrighted righty Evan Meek to Triple-A, the club announced. Meek will have the right to elect free agency, as he has previously been outrighted (including once earlier this year). Meek, 31, threw to a 5.79 ERA over 23 1/3 innings at the MLB level, all in relief. He struck out 6.2 and walked 4.2 batters per nine over that stretch. Meek has had better stretches in the majors, however, and even made an All-Star appearance with the Pirates back in 2010. Over 41 2/3 Triple-A frames this year, Meek worked to a 1.94 ERA with 8.0 K/9 against just 0.9 BB/9.

Cubs Notes: Castro, Baez, Bryant, Kalish
Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro is likely done for the season, GM Jed Hoyer told reporters today (including MLB.com's Carrie Muskat). Castro suffered a high ankle sprain in yesterday's game, and while the Cubs aren't going to officially shut him down, Hoyer says they're treating the injury as though it's season-ending. Castro, on the other hand, is of the mind that he can recover sooner than the team's four-week projected recovery time and rejoin the roster before season's end. The Cubs' plan is to play Javier Baez at shortstop for the remainder of the season, Hoyer said (via Bruce Levine of 670thescore.com). If Castro's season is over, it will go down as a strong rebound from a surprisingly disappointing 2013 season. Castro hit .292/.339/.438 and tied his career-high in homers (14) despite totaling 135 fewer plate appearances than the 704 he averaged over the past three seasons. It will also give the highly touted Baez an extended look at his natural position. Both Baez and Castro have seen their names bandied about in trade speculation, so Baez's shortstop audition could be worth monitoring.
Here's more on the Cubs…
- Many Cubs fans are disappointed not to get a look at Kris Bryant in September, and Bryant's agent, Scott Boras, voiced his disappointment to Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times as well. "[I]f this is a performance-driven industry as it should be, Bryant deserves the callup, based on performance," said Boras. "What's best for the player, what's best for the team in 2015? The goal here is trying to make the team the best it can be in 2015. And what can you do to ready him for that?" Boras argues that a month of MLB experience would prepare Bryant for 2015, and club officials from other teams agreed when speaking to Wittenmyer. One official pointed back to Mike Trout's promotion in 2011, noting that even though he struggled, he broke out in a monstrous fashion the following season. Of course, there are also prospects who experience great success in September callups only to struggle the following season, and prospects who thrive from day one when being promoted early in a season.
- The Cubs announced that Ryan Kalish's contract has been selected and he will join the team as a September callup in the wake of the decision that the injured Ryan Sweeney's season is now over. Sweeney has been placed on the 60-day DL, thereby opening a roster spot for Kalish. Kalish was outrighted earlier this season and could suffer the same fate after September, though the Sweeney injury has at least opened a door for him to impress the organization.

Minor Moves: Falu, Mills, Abreu, Kalish, Herrmann
Here are today's minor moves from around the league…
- The Brewers have outrighted infielder Irving Falu, according to MLB.com's transactions page. They claimed him last month from the Padres, who had previously claimed him from Milwaukee, so that the Brewers finally got him through to the minors must represent a small victory. The 31-year-old has hit .289/.342/.333 in 230 plate appearances for Triple-A Nashville this season.
- The Blue Jays have announced that they've selected the contract of lefty Brad Mills and optioned infielder Ryan Goins to Triple-A Buffalo. The Jays outrighted Mills in late July. He's posted a 1.81 ERA with 9.0 K/9 and 1.9 BB/9 at Triple-A this season.
- The Mets have released outfielder Bobby Abreu, according to MiLB.com. The 40-year-old was designated for assignment last week after hitting .238/.331/.336 in 142 plate appearances in his first big-league action since 2012.
- The Cubs have outrighted outfielder Ryan Kalish to Triple-A Iowa, per the team's transactions page. The 26-year-old was designated for assignment Friday after posting a slash of .242/.303/.330 in 100 plate appearances.
- The Indians have released right-hander Frank Herrmann from their Triple-A affiliate, tweets MLB.com's Jordan Bastian. The 30-year-old, the longest-tenured player in the Cleveland organization, has struggled in 28 relief outings for Columbus to the tune of a 6.37 ERA, 9.1 K/9, and 5.8 BB/9 in 29 2/3 innings. Herrmann hasn't pitched in a MLB contest since 2012 when he recorded a 2.33 ERA, 6.5 K/9, and 1.9 BB/9 over 19 1/3 innings (15 games) for the Indians.
- The White Sox have released right-hander Shawn Hill from Triple-A Charlotte, according to the International League transactions page. The veteran 33-year-old pitched to a 4.81 ERA with 4.2 K/9 and 1.4 BB/9 in 58 innings for the Knights after being acquired in a minor trade with the Blue Jays back in June. Hill last saw the bigs in 2012 with Toronto, and he has a lifetime 4.69 ERA with 5.6 K/9 and 2.8 BB/9 in 242 Major League innings.
- Jason Pridie has accepted his outright assignment by the Rockies to Triple-A, tweets Chris Cotillo of MLBDailyDish.com. The 30-year-old outfielder, who was designated for assignment Wednesday, had the option to become a free agent since he had been outrighted previously, but chose to remain at Colorado Springs where he has hit .275/.341/.426 in 378 plate appearances.
- Cotillo also tweets Andy Marte has accepted his outright assignment with the Diamondbacks rather than electing free agency. Marte, who batted .332/.385/.513 at Triple-A this season, will return to Reno in pursuit of the Pacific Coast League batting title, Cotillo adds. Marte was DFA'ed last week and sent outright to Reno last night, but, like Pridie, had been outrighted in the past and had the option to elect free agency.
- With the Dodgers and Phillies designating Colt Hynes and Sean O'Sullivan, respectively, for assignment today, a total of six players are now in DFA limbo. As can be seen in MLBTR's DFA Tracker, in addition to Hynes and O'Sullivan, the following players have yet to have their DFA situation resolved: Chris Young (Mets), Ernesto Frieri (Pirates), Nate Schierholtz (Cubs) and Chone Figgins (Dodgers).

Cubs Designate Ryan Kalish For Assignment
The Cubs have designated outfielder Ryan Kalish for assignment in order to clear roster space for the newly acquired Jacob Turner, reports MLB.com's Carrie Muskat (Twitter link).
The 26-year-old Kalish was once considered among baseball's top 100 prospects by both Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus, but he's never been able to capitalize on the tools that resulted in that hype, due in large part to a series of neck and shoulder surgeries. In an even 100 plate appearances with the Cubs this season, he batted .242/.303/.330 — numbers that aren't much of an improvement over his career .243/.296/.346 batting line.
Kalish, a former ninth-round pick, has a .245/.319/.391 triple-slash in his career at the Triple-A level. He's capable of playing all three outfield positions, though he spent more time in left than center with Chicago this season, and defensive metrics haven't been kind to his glove at the Major League level.

Cubs Notes: Epstein, Barney, Samardzija
The Cubs begin a series at Fenway Park tonight, getting back in action following a rare Sunday off-day. The club played a doubleheader on Saturday in order to keep Sunday free for Chicago's Pride Parade, which could've created a traffic jam in the Wrigleyville area had the Cubs been playing as originally scheduled. MLB.com's Carrie Muskat takes a look at the history of Sunday baseball, and passes along the historical note that the Cubs were off on a Sunday for the first time since 1932.
Here's the latest from the north side of Chicago…
- Theo Epstein denied rumors that he will leave the Cubs after his contract expires following the 2016 season, he tells Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune. While some speculate that Epstein has been upset at the lack of Major League resources he's been given by the Cubs, he "insists he will be here as long as the Cubs want him," Sullivan writes.
- Two scouts aren't impressed by Darwin Barney's bat, telling Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune that while Barney is a good fielder, "if he can't hit in the National League, what makes anyone think he can hit in the American League?" Barney has only slashed .198/.243/.284 in 174 PA this season and could be non-tendered if he can't improve at the plate. Gonzales feels Barney's time with the Cubs is probably nearing an end, though it could come via a trade if he can hit enough to get a look from another team.
- Also from Gonzales' reader mailbag piece, he expects the Cubs "to wait as long as possible" for the best offer before trading Jeff Samardzija or Jason Hammel. He thinks Samardzija might even not be moved until the offseason if necessary, though this would lessen this trade value as a new team would only have him under contract for the 2015 season.
- The Cubs haven't gotten much production out of their veteran outfielders, and Gonzales expects maybe one (at most) of Nate Schierholtz, Justin Ruggiano, Ryan Sweeney, Chris Coghlan or Ryan Kalish to be back next season and Chicago will look for more veteran upgrades. Since Sweeney is owed $2MM for 2015 and the others are all on one-year or minor league contracts, I'd suspect Sweeney is the favorite to return, though $2MM isn't so large an amount that the Cubs couldn't eat it if necessary.

Added To The 40-Man Roster: Thursday
Between now and Opening Day, several minor league signees will win jobs with their clubs and earn 40-man roster spots. Here are today's additions:
- As expected, the Mets have added lefty John Lannan to the 40-man roster, Newsday's Marc Carig tweets. The longtime starter is expected to work out of the pen for the first time in his career after serving exclusively as a starter for 148 games between 2007-13.
- Jason Bartlett will make the Twins as a reserve infielder and center field option, tweets Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The 34-year-old had previously agreed to bump back his opt-out date. Though he has played exactly one MLB game at a position other than shortstop (a single 2004 appearance at second), Bartlett will apparently see some time in the outfield. He finds himself in position to break camp after taking just 98 professional plate appearances over the last two seasons.
- 25-year-old outfielder Ryan Kalish will make the Cubs Opening Day roster and be added to its 40-man, tweets Jesse Rogers of ESPNChicago.com. It was reported yesterday that the same was true of utilityman Emilio Bonifacio, per Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune (via Twitter). Chicago has two open roster slots, so no corresponding move would appear to be necessary. As Rogers notes, third baseman Mike Olt will also be on the active roster to start the year.

Minor Moves: Asencio, Bocock, Ely, Martinez, Blanco
Here are today's minor moves and outright assignments from around the league…
- Jairo Asencio has signed with the KIA Tigers in the Korean Baseball Organization, MyKBO.net tweets. The Orioles acquired the 30-year-old righty from the Brewers all the way back in March, using him for just 2 1/3 innings this year. Asencio has a career 5.34 ERA in 43 big league appearances, but has been much better at Triple-A, where he's pitched to a 2.56 ERA across 165 games.
- The Royals announced that they have signed infielder Brian Bocock and outfielder Johermyn Chavez to minor-league contracts. The 28-year-old Bocock has 38 big league games on his resume and last appeared in the majors in 2010 with the Phillies. He has a career .226/.297/.309 minor-league line. Chavez, 24, has never appeared in the big leagues. He's hit .261/.340/.438 in nearly 3,000 minor-league plate appearances. The Bocock deal was originally reported by Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish on Twitter.
- The Red Sox have signed pitcher John Ely and re-signed Miguel Celestino to minor-league deals, WEEI.com's Alex Speier reports. Ely, 27, missed most of 2013 due to Tommy John surgery but had a strong year in Triple-A in 2012, posting a 3.20 ERA with 8.8 K/9 and 1.9 BB/9 in 168 2/3 innings for Albuquerque. Celestino, 24, posted a 6.12 ERA with 8.8 K/9 and 4.5 BB/9 for Double-A Portland in 2013.
- The Pirates have signed utilityman Michael Martinez to a minor-league deal, MLB Daily Dish's Chris Cotillo tweets. Martinez, 31, hit .300/.352/.407 for the Phillies' Triple-A Lehigh Valley affiliate in 2013. He also picked up 40 plate appearances at the big-league level.
- The Diamondbacks announced that they've signed veteran catcher Henry Blanco to a minor-league deal with a spring training invite. Earlier today, Arizona was reportedly close to signing Blanco, who hit .142/.228/.246 with the Blue Jays and Mariners in 2013. Blanco, 42, played with the Diamondbacks in 2011 and 2012.
- The Cubs announced that they have signed outfielder Ryan Kalish to a minor league deal with an invitation to Major League Spring Training. Kalish, 25, was originally drafted by the Red Sox when Cubs president Theo Epstein and GM Jed Hoyer were with Boston.
- The Cubs have also signed catcher John Baker to a minor-league deal with a non-roster invite, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune tweets. The light-hitting Baker played briefly with the Padres in 2013, and also appeared in Tucscon (Padres) and Albuquerque (Dodgers) in Triple-A.
- The Tigers outrighted infielder Dixon Machado to Triple-A Toledo, according to an MILB.com release. Machado hit .215/.264/.295 with Class A+ Lakeland in 2013. The Tigers designated him for assignment last week.

Quick Hits: Rays, Kimbrel, Weeks, Kalish, Madson
Andrew Friedman doesn't think the Rays' search for a first baseman will last beyond another week, the club's executive VP told reporters (including Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times). "There were some suggestions…of movement" between the Rays and James Loney on Thursday, Topkin reports, and Loney remains the Rays' top choice, though at less than his three-year, $27MM asking price. If Loney signs elsewhere, Topkin expects the Rays to acquire a first baseman in a trade rather than in free agency.
Here are some more items from around baseball as we conclude the 2013 Winter Meetings…
- This might be the optimal time for the Braves to trade Craig Kimbrel, ESPN's Buster Olney writes (Insider subscription required). Kimbrel is about to get much more expensive now that he's eligible for arbitration, to the point that Kimbrel's incredible statistics "broke" the arbitration projection model used by MLBTR's Matt Swartz.
- Rumors connecting Rickie Weeks to the Blue Jays, Braves and Marlins during the Winter Meetings were all false, Brewers GM Doug Melvin tells Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (Twitter link).
- Ryan Kalish "is in the final stages" of signing with a new team, Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe reports. Kalish was non-tendered by the Red Sox earlier this month. The outfielder missed the entire 2013 season recovering from shoulder and neck surgeries.
- Several teams, including the Red Sox, have been scouting right-hander Ryan Madson, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports. The Rockies were also recently linked to Madson, who has missed two full seasons recovering from Tommy John surgery.
- ESPN's Paul Swydan (Insider subscription required) lists four teams who could be helped by the inexpensive additions of Kevin Youkilis, Brian Roberts, Johan Santana and Jeff Francis, respectively. Swydan also wrote about how Clint Barmes could help the Mets, but Barmes re-signed with the Pirates earlier today.
- Diamondbacks president/CEO Derrick Hall discussed his team's desire for a top starting pitcher, the recent Mark Trumbo deal and several other topics during a live chat with fans on MLB.com.
- The Pirates, Orioles and Indians could be risking their recent success with their hesitation to spend, USA Today's Bob Nightengale opines.
- Several team executives and scouts joined ESPN's Jayson Stark in listing the winners and losers of the offseason thus far, with a pair of teams (the Mariners and Yankees) somewhat in between, in the "winners with an asterisk" category.

American League Non-Tenders
Major League clubs have until 11pm CT tonight to tender contracts to players for the 2014 season. We'll run down the list of American League non-tenders here.

- The Orioles announced they've non-tendered outfielder Jason Pridie and minor league starter Eddie Gamboa.
- The Rays will non-tender reliever Wesley Wright, tweets Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune.
- The Red Sox announced that they have non-tendered outfielder Ryan Kalish, Mike Salk of WEEI.com tweets.
- The White Sox will not tender a contract to pitcher Dylan Axelrod, tweets Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune.
- The Angels will non-tender pitcher Jerome Williams, tweets Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times. The club will also non-tender righty Tommy Hanson and third baseman Chris Nelson, tweets DiGiovanna. J.C. Gutierrez will also be non-tendered, tweets Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com, though that seemed a given since that he had already been designated for assignment.
- The Indians have non-tendered outfielder Matt Carson, pitcher Tyler Cloyd, and catcher Lou Marson, the club announced.
- The Rays are non-tendering outfielder Sam Fuld, a source tells Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com (Twitter link). Fuld, who will turn 32 in a few weeks, could be a lefty-swinging bench piece for another club, though he slashed only .199/.270/.267 last year in 200 plate appearances for Tampa.
- GM Brian Cashman says that the Yankees will non-tender infielder Jayson Nix, tweets Anthony McCarron of the New York Daily News. The 31-year-old veteran appeared in 87 games for New York last season, putting up a .236/.308/.311 line in 303 plate appearances. The club will also non-tender reliever Matt Daley and infielder David Adams. New York confirmed the moves via press release.
- The Royals announced that they have non-tendered second baseman Chris Getz. The 30-year-old Getz has tried to hold down Kansas City's keystone spot for several years now but produced just a .246/.299/.314 batting line from 2012-13. Swartz had pegged Getz for a $1.3MM salary in 2014.

View, the air of french Belle Epoque, great terrace.
Bad service, could even transfer calls to the room past midnight. Bad Internet connection.
The level of service was among the best we have experienced at luxury properties in France. Very impressive. It is now my favorite hotel in St. Tropez.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.

Santander UK has awarded Cardiff University funding worth £53,900 to help undergraduate students achieve their goals.
The funding is part of Santander UK's new three year campaign – 3,500 Hopes and Dreams - which aims to help university students across the UK study abroad or undertake an internship.
This year, the main focus of the Cardiff scholarships is on giving students the chance to undertake three-month internships with SMEs in South Wales.
The campaign was launched by Emilio Botin, Chairman of the Santander Group at the fifth Santander Universities UK Vice-Chancellors Meeting, where guests included Cardiff's Vice-Chancellor, Professor Colin Riordan, and prominent figures from the financial, academic and political scenes including David Willetts, Minister for Universities and Science.
Vice-Chancellor, Professor Riordan said: "This generous scholarship package will help support Cardiff students' mobility and promote international exchange. It opens up new opportunities for our undergraduates and postgraduates to study or work abroad and means we can welcome talented students from the global community to Cardiff, Wales and the UK."
Cardiff has a strong relationship with Santander and was the first Welsh University to receive funding from Santander in 2008.
In total, Santander Universities Global Division will fund UK universities with £32million in the next 3 years as part of the Hopes and Dreams campaign.

Your body has transformed into a baby-feeding-and-comforting machine. Your romantic partner is suddenly someone's Daddy. You've figured out how to line up all the snaps in those onesie pajamas. But here are some things you might not have realized will change forever once you're a parent.
The average newborn weighs approximately 7.5 pounds. But how many pounds will YOU weigh when you walk out of the delivery room? And how long will it take for you to get your pre-baby body back? While the timeline is different for every woman and is based on a number of factors—how much weight you gained while pregnant, whether or not you're breastfeeding, your diet and exercise habits—there are certain weight-loss milestones you can mark on your calendar.
When your newborn lies on his stomach and practices lifting his head, it prepares him to explore the world on his own. "Tummy time helps your infant build strength in his back, legs, arms and neck," says Joanne Cox, M.D., a pediatrician at Children's Hospital Boston. "This helps with further development, such as rolling over and sitting."
When TV personality/actress Vanessa Lachey revealed that she struggled with the "baby blues" after giving birth to her son Camden, a lot of people were confused — so much so that she issued a "clarification" a few days later:
You've heard plenty of stories (among friends, on social media, or maybe even in celebrity tell-all books) of women experiencing postpartum depression. The postnatal depression you might not have heard about is PPND (paternal postnatal depression)—the one your partner may suffer from after your little bundle of joy arrives.
This postpartum survival guide culls our favorite experts' tried-and-true tips about how to make the best of this challenging rite of passage.
Here's what you'll need to know:
Brace YourselfAt the hospital, your baby is examined by the pediatrician, who will explain to you any obvious curiosities (for example, birthmarks or a pointy head shape).
After you get home, however, your baby may produce some unexpected sights and sounds; most are normal.
I remember chatting with a friend about a month before I was due with my son about my postpartum exercise routine. At that time, I was an avid morning gym goer — 6:30 am spin classes — things one can do before baby! I was under the great delusion that I would miss a couple of weeks and then be right back into my fitness regimen.
It takes time to get back into your bikini-body shape after having a little one, but the key to settling into a happy weight may be more about making time for pleasure than going on a deprivation diet. "If you aren't living a joyful life—despite getting enough rest, watching what you eat, and exercising regularly—you won't be able to reach or sustain your happy weight," says Erin Cox, author of the new book, One Hot Mama, who struggled with her weight after having three kids.
British researchers say allowing babies to feed themselves fruits, vegetables, meat and bread—known as baby-led weaning—may teach them to better regulate their own appetites. The study showed that 6-month-old babies introduced to finger foods they could pick up and eat on their own rather than being primarily spoon-fed were less likely to be overweight or obese through age 6 ½.
Has your baby left you at wits' end, what with the shoes, toys and sweaters—and everything in between—making their way into her mouth? Rest assured that every baby does this, and it's totally normal. In fact, it's a prerequisite to being a healthy infant.

Colorado researchers get $9M to 'rewire' E. coli to make biofuels
Send this to a friend
- Staff Portland Business Journal
A research team led by the University of Colorado Boulder is getting a $9.2 million grant from U.S. Department of Energy to investigate ways to "rewire" E. coli bacteria to produce biofuels.
The team hopes to find ways to re-engineer a non-pathogenic strain of E. coli to produce ethylene and isobutanol, compounds that can be converted in gasoline and other products, and to do so efficiently and inexpensively, CU-Boulder said.
The grant is from the DOE's Office of Biological and Environmental Research.
The team is led by Ryan Gill, a fellow of CU-Boulder's Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute, and includes Rob Knight, CU-Boulder associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry; Pin-Ching Maness, principal scientist at DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory; and Adam Arkin, physical biosciences director at DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
"This is a fantastic opportunity to take what we have worked on for the past decade to the next level," Gill said in a statement. "In this project, we will develop technologies that are orders of magnitude beyond where we are currently."

RECRUIT REPORT: Vincent Talks Unis
Four-star cornerback Troy Vincent talks about Cal's new uniform unveiling and a possible date for…
|PODCAST: Uni-Veiling
We talk in-depth about the Cal football program's new uniforms, Allen Crabbe's NBA prospects, Keenan Allen's draft stock and of course the women's basketball team's Final Four run in this jam-packed podcast!
SAN FRANCISCO -- We're back at The Republic for this week's Bear Republic Podcast, and despite it being a down period, we have plenty to talk about.
In our first half-hour segment, we break down the new California football uniforms, from the helmets to the jerseys to the logos to the new bear design gracing the numbers and the shoulders of the new togs. What worked? What didn't? What was a win? What was a loss? What opportunities were missed? What does the new branding strategy mean for the rest of the sports outside women's hoops and volleyball once they get their new duds for next season? We break all that down, and more, as CBS Sports NFL blogger John Breech -- who covers the Seattle Seahawks -- compares NIKE's redesign of the Cal brand identity to the Swoosh's work with the NFC West squad.
What do the new uniforms mean to recruiting? We asked four-star cornerback Troy Vincent earlier in the evening, and our dear subscribers can read all about that right here..

EXCLUSIVE: Dykes Talks Fall Ball
In our second segment, we break down Allen Crabbe's decision to leave for the NBA a year early. With McDonald's All-American Jabari Bird slated to come in next season, was Crabbe's departure a good thing for Mike Montgomery's Bears, or a bad thing? What are the implications of Crabbe's choice on next year's lineup? We debate all that and more.
We also gab about the impact of the new UCLA and USC basketball coaching hires on the conference hierarchy. Are the new Bruins and Trojans skippers good adds to the Pac-12? Which of those two programs made a splash, and which one misfired?

At the end of our second segment, we pick up a few tidbits from the end of spring football, including the performances of certain offensive and defensive linemen.
Our third segment brings us home as we spend more than 20 minutes breaking down the Cal women's basketball team's run into the Women's Final Four in New Orleans, and what the historic run by Lindsay Gottlieb's team means for the future of her program. We also break down Keenan Allen's draft prospects after his pro day in Greensboro, NC.

Federal lawmakers are again considering legislation that would create nationwide rules for notifying potential victims of identify theft when organizations improperly expose their sensitive information.
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved two bills this month that would impose data breach notification requirements on businesses, and a bill with notification requirements is making its way through the House.
It's not the first time lawmakers have pushed for such federal requirements. However, previous efforts stalled in the legislative process. In the absence of federal requirements, most states have promulgated their own laws, creating a complicated legal patchwork.
Gail Hillebrand, senior attorney at the West Coast Office of Consumers Union, a nonprofit organization that publishes Consumer Reports, said some states have requirements that are more stringent than the ones that Congress is proposing. Hillebrand said consumers are already receiving proper notifications from businesses and that companies tend to follow the requirements of the state with the highest standards when there is a breach that affects people nationwide.
She said it was a positive sign that the bill proposed by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) dealt with data brokers, or businesses that get paid for collecting, transmitting or providing sensitive personal data.
Hillebrand said her group supports both bills that recently made it through the Senate Judiciary Committee and supports the notice of breach approach in the House bill. However, for the House measure, the group has concerns about the scope of the pre-emption of state laws that address data safeguards.
Meanwhile, Enrique Salem, CEO of Symantec, said in an e-mail that the Leahy bill was "a major step forward towards enacting a comprehensive, uniform national framework to better prevent breaches of sensitive consumer information as well as setting a clear standard for effective notification should a breach occur." Salem said Symantec believes the United States urgently needs to pass a national data breach law.

La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest returns
By Monica Unhold
SummerFest will begin on a high note tomorrow with a night of "Fire and Passion" at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego's Sherwood Auditorium in La Jolla.
The performance will include the world premier of a newly commissioned piece, "Piazzolla Suite for Four Violins," by Philharmonic Opera violinist Julian Milone. Another highlight of the show will be a new arrangement of Piazzolla's famed "Death of an Angel."
SummerFest has been gracing La Jolla with masterful performances of chamber music since 1986. This year's month-long lineup of 70 artists and 16 performances continues through Aug. 24 at various locations.
New this year is an open-air event - to be held at Scripps Park at the La Jolla Cove - that will appeal to a broader audience. On Aug. 14, "SummerFest Under the Stars" will consist of performances of better-known compositions and will be free to the public.
With their backs to crashing waves, musicians will perform pieces by Felix Mendelssohn, George Gershwin, John Williams and John Philip Sousa. Music director and master violinist Cho-Liang Lin will participate in the picturesque performance by playing a range of five violins, he said.
Since pop and symphony music is the usual fare for outdoor concerts, the chamber music at the event is somewhat of an experiment, Lin said. Members of the La Jolla Music Society hope the event will be successful, but worry about the possibility of a parking fiasco like those during the firework displays on the Fourth of July.
The night is a way for the festival to give back to its host community, said Lin, who often goes by Jimmy.
Each year, La Jolla residents take world-class musicians into their homes. Eating and rehearsing with their host families breeds a strong connection between musicians and the community, Lin said.
"The musicians are thoroughly integrated into the La Jolla community," Lin said. "The great thing about music is that feeling of camaraderie."
One of the most popular series is likely to be the three nights of Brahms at Sherwood Auditorium. "Brahms I - Friendship Among Masters," Aug. 5, will showcase the works of Brahms and his mentor, Robert Schumann. Works will include "Adante and Variations for Two Pianos" and "Two Cellos and Horn." The second performance, entitled "Brahms II - Unrequited Love," is inspired by the relationship between Brahms and Schumann's wife, Clara, for whom Brahms felt a deep, unrequited love. The final night in the series, "Brahms II - Intimacy and Grandeur," Aug. 19, showcases the rich style of Brahms' work. Tokyo String Quartet joined by former SummerFest Music Director Heiichiro Ohyama will perform "String Quartet No. 1 in F Major, Opus 88."
Another notable series is the three concerts to be performed at the historic Birch North Park Theatre. The performances offer less traditional classical fare and are aimed for "the more adventurous" festival-goers willing to trek out of La Jolla.
The Aug. 8 concert will include music composed within the last decade. Jazz at SummerFest, Aug. 15, will showcase the work of French jazz legend Jacques Loussier and will feature his variations on the work of classic composer, Johann Sebastian Bach.

A picture of the Brooke Hogan wardrobe malfunction during the Impact Wrestling segment where she got married to Bully Ray.
The screen went blank temporarily during Monday Night Raw this week, as WWE quickly covered up a wardrobe malfunction that Aksana had during the big divas tag team match.
Since WWE may receive heat for the incident, Brie Bella issued a public apology for her wardrobe malfunction, where her nipple was exposed.
While the backstage heat on Ric Flair has subsided tremendously, Ashley Flair remains in developmental and should be there for a little while longer, as WWE is now focused on elevating Paige and Emma to the main roster.
Even though the backstage heat on Ric Flair has died down a little bit, there has been very little talking of bringing Ashley Flair up to the main WWE roster any time soon. She seemed on the verge of a promotion from developmental earlier in the year.

Come Out is a 1966 piece by American composer Steve Reich. He was asked to write this piece to be performed at a benefit for the retrial of the Harlem Six, six black youths arrested for committing a murder during the Harlem Riot of 1964 for which only one of the six was responsible. Truman Nelson, a civil rights activist and the person who had asked Reich to compose the piece, gave him a collection of tapes with recorded voices to use as source material. Nelson, who chose Reich on the basis of his earlier work It's Gonna Rain, agreed to give him creative freedom for the project.
Reich eventually used the voice of Daniel Hamm, one of the boys involved in the riots but not responsible for the murder; he was nineteen at the time of the recording. At the beginning of the piece, he says, "I had to, like, open the bruise up, and let some of the bruise blood come out to show them" (alluding to how Hamm had punctured a bruise on his own body to convince police that he had been beaten). The police had not previously wanted to deal with Hamm's injuries, since he did not appear seriously wounded. It is probably the earliest instance of which a member of the Nation of Gods and Earths was recorded in a piece of music.
Reich re-recorded the fragment "come out to show them" on two channels, which initially play in unison. They quickly slip out of sync to produce a phase shifting effect, characteristic of Reich's early works. Gradually, the discrepancy widens and becomes a reverberation and, later, almost a canon. The two voices then split into four, looped continuously, then eight, until the actual words are unintelligible. The listener is left with only the rhythmic and tonal patterns of the spoken words. Reich says in the liner notes of his album Early Works of using recorded speech as source material that "by not altering its pitch or timbre, one keeps the original emotional power that speech has while intensifying its melody and meaning through repetition and rhythm." The piece is a prime example of process music.
