My colleague, the always opinionated Peter Rogers, provides us with an "under-the-covers" look at how Android plans to power the Internet of Things. Pull down your geek hat and hold on!!!
In previous articles I predicted that wearable technology would be powered by light-weight operating systems, citing Samsung's decision to go with Tizen instead of Android. This decision was apparently based on battery life and user interface considerations. However, just after the article hit the Internet, Google executive Sundar Pichai announced the Android SDK for Wearables. Android is used in many different ways as demonstrated by Kindle and Nokia X (Nokia X seems to have deployed a Windows 8 look and feel on top of Android). Indeed, for this very reason Android 4.4 has moved a lot of key APIs into the Cloud.
Wearable device developers are interested in the APIs available to them. If we turn the clock back to the J2ME days there was a dedicated API for user interfaces (UI) called javax.microedition.lcdui. This was a small UI library compared to today's Android libraries. Indeed you wouldn't run Java Swing on Android, and likewise a wearable device needs a more constrained API for the UI. Even though a wearable device may be supporting a full operating system, it will most probably have a constrained UI and that means a slightly different programming style.
Recently there was an interesting post in the Washington Post supporting my claims that Wearable Devices and the Internet of Things requires different skill sets. The article listed the new skills required as data analytics and enterprise data analysis. Basically you need to know how to capture the data, read the data and then apply the data to your specific business domain. Surely real-time analytics and visualisation tools will become critical in the wearable space and this is where a new term called Fog Computing has been introduced by Cisco.
"Fog Computing is a paradigm that extends Cloud computing and services to the edge of the network. Similar to Cloud, Fog provides data, compute, storage, and application services to end-users. The distinguishing Fog characteristics are its proximity to end-users, its dense geographical distribution, and its support for mobility. Services are hosted at the network edge or even end devices such as set-top-boxes or access points. By doing so, Fog reduces service latency, and improves QoS, resulting in superior user-experience. Fog Computing supports emerging Internet of Everything (IoE) applications that demand real-time/predictable latency (industrial automation, transportation, networks of sensors and actuators). Thanks to its wide geographical distribution the Fog paradigm is well positioned for real time big data and real time analytics. Fog supports densely distributed data collection points, hence adding a fourth axis to the often mentioned Big Data dimensions (volume, variety, and velocity)."
In trying to predict what will be in the Android Wearable Software Developer Kit (SDK) then it is very interesting to note that Google acquired Android Smartwatch vendor WIMM Labs last year. WIMM Labs released its first Smartwatch back in 2011, the WIMM One, which ran Android and included an SDK for developers. Interestingly the WIMM website has removed all of the documentation for the SDK but a lot of WIMM One developers downloaded it before it got taken offline and so were able to get a potential glimpse of what Google is planning. WIMM had a Micro App Store which featured the following categories: entertainment; productivity; health; shopping; travel; utilities; watch faces; and games. As well as a Software Developer Kit there was also a Hardware Developer Kit which allows you to make accessories that wrap around the WIMM module.
The Wearable SDK itself will obviously have changed from its origins of the WIMM One SDK but it is certainly interesting rooting around through the API. The comm.wimm API extends the Android 2.X API and it is assumed that only the WIMM API itself can be used. There are some very interesting features offered for sure: notifications; custom watch faces; widgets; network services; sync services; calendars; broadcast events; weather; world clocks; location fixes; audio beeps; and various simple UI element.
One of the most interesting features is location information being retrieved from one or more sources, including built-in GPS, network based IP-location lookup, or a paired Android or Blackberry smartphone. This demonstrates that the Wimm One was able to perform even when not paired to a device and it was equally able to pair with a Blackberry.
If we look at the Android Wearable SDK then it is heavily rumoured to support Google Now, the voice control feature. It will also have to support Bluetooth Low Energy integration for communication with mobile devices for pairing and indeed detecting other sensors. It is also worth looking at the Google Glass Developer Kit (GDK) for a few hints at what may be revealed. The GDK was the alternative to the Mirror API which only really supported REST calls to a Google Cloud Service. The GDK is an add-on that builds on top of the Android SDK and offers the following: voice; gesture detector; and cards. It is safe to assume that voice control, local networking, touch control and potentially gesture control are all on cards. Google will show their hand at Google I/O and Samsung have already shown their Gear 2 devices at MWC. Next it is time for Apple to finally show their hand and we have to wonder if it will be a decisive one, quite possibly if history has taught us anything.

Our trip to New Zealand was all about expressing the shear scope of the landscape and the fantastic riding it offers. With a small population and virtually no trail access issues, the riding is almost limitless. Probably like it was fifty years ago in the U.S. We travelled throughout the South Island from Queenstown to the Craigieburn Forest, experiencing amazing singletrack and the laid back NZ lifestyle. A big thanks to Kashi Leuchs, our NZ distributor and all-aournd good guy for playing tour guide on the trip.

TV Ratings: CNN's Entire Lineup Falls Below CNBC 'Shark Tank' Repeats
The rebranding net suffers its third-lowest-rated month on record, while the little-watched financial net's reality show encores top all cable news shows but four on Fox News and MSNBC's "Rachel Maddow" in the news demo.
With no eleventh hour Justin Bieber boost to speak of, CNN wrapped January with its third-lowest month on record among total viewers. Its average daily haul managed to slip below even sister net HLN in the key news demographic of adults 25-54.
Rankings among the trio of Fox News Channel, MSNBC and CNN otherwise remained intact, with FNC topping total day and primetime and MNSBC ranking second in both total day and the demo and in both measures -- but an interesting dark horse entered the cable news program rankings in January.
CNBC, ever a distant fifth in the cable news wars, started airing off-net repeats of ABC hit Shark Tank on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Those reruns averaged 276,000 viewers in the advertiser-friendly adults 25-54. That was enough to make Shark Tank the No. 6 program across all of cable news for the month, topping everything on CNN and, with the exception of The Rachel Maddow Show, MSNBC.
PHOTOS: Cable News' Biggest Hirings, Firings and Moves of the Year
The O'Reilly Factor, The Five, The Kelly File, Special Report With Bret Baier and Maddow were the five shows that managed to outperform Shark Tank. Among total viewers, Shark Tank ranked a distant No. 21 with 541,000 -- with FNC now sweeping the top 14 for a full year and MSNBC's primetime players all outranking the reality show. Shark Tank pulled in more viewers than any CNN show.
Shark Tank seemed like an unorthodox choice for CNBC, which continues to make a push into alternative programming, but the initial ratings are quite the vote of confidence.
Turning attention away from the month's big outlier, FNC was the only network up compared to last January in total viewers. In primetime's 8-11 p.m. block, both FNC and MSNBC were also barely off in the key demo -- 1 percent and 2 percent, respectively -- while CNN dropped 35 percent. During the 7-11 p.m. block, MSNBC was the only network up, improving 4 percent. Good news for MSNBC included a new demo high for the not-yet-a-year-old All in With Chris Hayes.
CNN continues to struggle with New Day and Crossfire, which hit new lows in January -- one factor contributing to its total day demo haul (98,000 viewers) slipping below HLN (101,000). Among total viewers (317,000), CNN's monthly haul was its third-lowest since 1991.

Chapter One: Another Long Night
(3 Weeks since the events of Trapped!)
Lunick looked around his Ranger Base, Most Rangers were out on patrol or on missions; Solana had taken Murph on a mission as a supervisor. Both Lunick and Solana had promised to get Murph to rank 10 within the next year, even if one of them had to accompany him on every mission, so he was one of the few in the base, once again he found himself going over the memories Suicune had gifted to him, he saw Suicune's meeting with himself and watched as he was captured and freed.
He recived a call from one of his Rangers,
"Leader, we've found some Go-Rock Grunts in the Lyra forest, what are your instructions?" one of them asked, Lunick recognised the rangers as, Alan, John and Luke.
"How many are there?" Lunick asked
"Seven sir" Alan replied
"Await Solana and stay hidden" Lunick ordered, he still felt strange giving orders and having them followed.
"Yes Leader!" Luke replied, ending the call, Lunick called Solana,
"Hey Lunick, what's up?" Solana asked,
"Your needed in the Lyra Forest, seven Grunts" Lunick replied,
"Why aren't we using our connection?" Solana asked
"Official Mission orders" Lunick shrugged,
"Fine, myself and Murph are on our way!" Solana called, ending the call,
Lunick sighed, he would've loved to have gone out and enjoyed a stroll around the Lyra Forest, to defeat some Grunts, but he knew that there should be a Ranger Council member in the base at all times, and as Solana and Murph were out on a mission, so he had to remain in the base until they returned.
He again delved into Suicune's memories, he enjoyed the feeling of running as Suicune, he watched as Suicune ran across plains in far off lands and climbed waterfalls, he was brought to reality when the doors opened and a panic stricken Percy fell inside, Lunick rushed to help him up and Percy smiled at him, he didn't like the looks of this Percy's smiled,
"Lunick?" Percy asked, and Lunick's worst fear was confirmed, Percy wanted something
"What do you want Percy?" Lunick asked, causality
"There's this troublesome ranger…." Percy began
"No, no way!" Lunick replied
"Please, you're the scariest, meanest, biggest Ranger I know, if you directed the meeting then there would be no trouble!" Percy whined,
"When is it?" Lunick asked, curiously
"Tonight" Percy muttered, "9 O'clock, with three leaders and The Father of the Ranger"
"Where?" Lunick asked
"Fall City, It is the easiest place to get to" Percy replied smiling,
"I'll be there, as will you and who else?" Lunick asked tiredly, he had been in meetings every night for the past three weeks, not that he was complaining, but they were getting to him.
"There's me, You and Keith, Chris said he can come if need be, but Solana isn't that scary" Percy replied,
"You've never seen her in a rage before" Lunick replied, "I hide whenever that happens, even Spenser hide when that happened"
Percy shock his head, "Solana can be present if she wants, but this ranger is particularly nasty, Highly sexist and dangerous, assaulted six Rangers and has been disrespectful to Me and every senior ranger he has met"
"Defiantly not the place for Solana then" Lunick agreed,
I can be with you if you want, Lunick Master Ranger Suicune whispered into his mind,
It might be good to have a Great Pokémon such as yourself with us Lunick confirmed
I'll see you Tonight then Suicune replied,
"I will see you later then Ranger Leader Percy, As well as Keith, and anyone else you bring together" Lunick replied,
"Who else could I bring?" Percy frowned,
"Other members of the Council" Lunick shrugged
"That's a plan!" Percy called, "Eight Members of the Council!"
"Eight?" Lunick asked, "I think the four leaders, Our Partner Pokémon, and my surprise guest will be enough"
"Suicune?" Percy laughed,
"Yep" Lunick smiled, "He'll hide by my side then if they try anything he'll pop-up"
"See you later then!" Percy called waving and smiling, He walked outside and Lunick Sighed, Solana walked in followed by Murph, Alan, John and Luke.
"Cleared them, they were transporting Styler's to Arceus knows where" Solana told Lunick
"Good work Rangers" Lunick replied, "I'm promoting you all to rank 7"
They cheered and Solana smiled as she stood next to Lunick, and the four Rangers rushed off to relax,
"I'm needed in Fall City tonight" Lunick told her, "A Disciplinary meeting with a Ranger and his Father"
"Not one of ours!" Solana said,
"No, Percy's" Lunick told her, "Percy was practically begging me to help; Chris and Keith are going to be there, along with Percy as well."
"So when are you going?" Solana asked,
"Six" Lunick replied, "That way I can Read the case file, and try and find anything unusual and try and figure out what the verdict would be"
"What's the worst that can happen?" Solana asked,
"He loses his licence and his styler snapped in two" Lunick replied,
"Tomorrow night, you are having the night off, you can sleep straight through to morning" Solana told him, "You haven't slept right for 3 weeks, you've been working till one in the morning and then getting up at five, it's not healthy Lunick"
"Yes Solana" Lunick replied, arguing was not a good idea when he was this sleep deprived
"Now, you better get going, Percy won't like it if your late" Solana told Lunick, he nodded and walked out, Minun at his side, they walked slowly through the forest and into the tunnel, they were both very entertained when Suicune appeared behind Lunick and ran rings around them and then waited in front of them.
The Trio walked into Fall city, Lunick looked at his watch, half-seven, he walked into the Ranger base and climbed went to the lift, all the other Rangers were out on a Dinner, he took the lift down to the meeting hall and walked in, Keith seemed to have set it ready, he saw four plaques on the table each with one of the rangers name and rank on, he saw that Chris would be attending and he sat down in his chair and Suicune lay next to him, he picked up a file on the desk and read the file, he saw that this ranger was on his last chance, he should've really been kicked out, but they needed a meeting of the leaders to deal with him. He heard the lift and saw Chris and Percy walk in. They jumped at seeing Lunick sitting there,
"Thanks Lunick!" Percy called,
"I've read the file" Lunick replied standing, "He should be long gone by now"
"We'll I was trying to be nice to him" Percy muttered,
"fine, but If this ever happens again, Call one of these meetings and let us deal with him" Lunick replied calmly,
"Yes Lunick" Percy hung his head walked to his chair, followed by Lunick and Chris. Keith came down an hour later and they sat in silence, each placed their emotional masks on and sat there, they heard the lift arrive and saw a ranger walk out and slouch down.
"Disciplinary meeting is called to order. Council comprise of Lunick, Head Of Ringtown. Keith, Head of Fall City. Percy, Head of Summerland. Chris, Head of Wintown. Ranger in question: Alexander James Williams; do you have anything to say before we continue?" Lunick stated,
"I want my father" Alexander stated,
"Bring him in if he's here" Percy called, and they saw the lift doors open and A man walked out, Lunick scowled, he knew this man, his brother was in a ranger base, worse so was his Nephew,
"So what in hell is going on?" Lester asked,
"Your son is being officially charged with several counts of felonies under the Ranger code, set years ago" Keith explained,
Lester sat down in the chair next to his son and looked at Lunick, who maintained his mask, "Hello Little brother, how's the scars?"
"This is not a time for catch ups, Do you wish to say anything before we continue?" Lunick repeated,
"I Don't care what you said" Alex snapped at Lunick, who scowled.
"I am a Ranger Leader, you need to show some respect" Lunick said, trying to remain his cool, he could practically feel Suicune becoming restless beneath the table,
Calm, my friend Lunick thought to him
I shall for now, if he threatens you, I'll bite him for you Suicune replied, Lunick inwardly smiled at Suicune.
"You are charged with: Seven counts of Assault, Three counts of disobeying orders, Forty Sexist comments to fellow Rangers, Twelve counts of Misuse of Language and one count of Rape" Lunick listed, "Do you deny these charges?"
"No" Alex told him,
"The penalty as I'm sure your aware is being dismissed and having your styler taken from you" Percy added, to nods from Chris and Keith,
"Who cares?" Lester commented, trying to provoke Lunick,
"Very well, all in favour of Prosecution?" Lunick replied, calmly
The four leaders raised their hands,
"Hand over you styler please" Percy held out his hand while he spoke, he saw the styler be placed on his palm and he pulled it back and handed it to Keith.
"You Are Dismissed from the Pokémon Rangers, if you do not leave this site immediately, then we will be forced to arrest you" Lunick concluded, looking up,
"But we don't feel like leaving" Lester commented,
"Out" Percy told him, but Lunick waved him down,
"You three can Go" Lunick told them, they left. Leaving Lunick and Suicune, Lester and Alex in the room alone.
"So little bro, you're a ranger?" Lester asked
"Brother, leave this building or else" Lunick Threatened,
"You think you can fight me?" Lester asked,
"I'm no longer the scared little boy I once was" Lunick replied Calmly, Lester walked around to stand in front of Lunick, he punched Lunick square in the mouth and He fell to the floor, blood was pouring from Lunick mouth, but he wiped it away,
"You still fall after one punch though" Lester replied, Lunick hoped up,
"I Have friends here" Lunick commented, and Suicune nodded under the table,
"They're not here though are they?" Alex commented, walked to stand next to his father
They both Punched Lunick in the chest and he collapsed down, he then stood upright, "Suicune?" he asked, and the Pokémon jumped onto the table,
"Oh, look boy can play games" Lester said in a mocking tone, "Go, Raichu!"
"Thunder!" Lester called and the bolts hit every wall and everyone including Lester and Alex, they stood strong and Lunick held firm too, Suicune looked angry and ready to unleash an Ice beam, but waited for Lunick to ask him to help.
"That the best your Raichu can do?" Lunick mocked, smiling slightly, Lester grabbed a chair and threw it at Lunick,
"Minun, Discharge!" Lunick called and the chair stopped and fell to the floor, Minun charged onto the shoulder of Lunick and Lunick smiled at the little mouse and waited for Lester's reaction,
"Go Machoke!" Lester called, summoning the giant fighting type Pokémon
"Machoke, teach Uncle Lester some manners towards his betters" Alex told the Pokémon, who looked around and raise its fists walking forward,
"Capture on!" Lunick called, he drew his styler so fast only Suicune's insane speed could match it, he flicked his styler around and the disk began flying around the Pokémon, it quickly captured and the Pokémon stood waiting for orders,
"Attack! Him you useless Pokémon!" Lester told it, but the Pokémon did not move and he was forced to return it to the Pokéball
"So you managed to stop one Pokémon?" Lester asked, he grabbed the back of Lunick's head and raising it up, "But your still the same, worthless, little cowardly Bastard who will cry at my feet again" he slammed Lunick to the floor and Minun ran off alongside Suicune, they both knew Lunick's Trigger was being called that, he jumped up, fire in his eyes,
"NO. ONE. CALLS. ME. A. BASTARD." Lunick yelled, slamming a single fist into his older brother's chest, he flew back and crashed into a chair, then crashed to the floor, unconscious.
"Get him out of here" Lunick told Alex, who dragged his father to the lift and out of the base, Lunick looked around and sighed, this was going to take a while to explain.
Solana was pacing up and down the base, she had felt a massive wave of anger a while ago, she knew it was Lunick's, whatever happened, Lunick was really annoyed…
Spenser had been watching everything, he saw Lunick lose his temper for the first time ever, he had knocked the man out cold, He knew Lunick was in a bad way but he knew Lunick was capable of handling himself.
Spenser wasn't the only one watching Lunick, The Oaks had been watching, they gulped as they heard that word, Lunick hated that word, Gary laughed as Lunick punched Lester in the chest and sent him flying. They saw Lunick walk to the lift and head up. This would be another Long Night For Poor Lunick

We're almost there. Opening Day is just 11 days away (10 if you're counting down to the Cubs/Cards game on Sunday night), which means that fantasy draft season is in full swing. For those of you who are veterans of the FBB world, you know that draft day can be quite unpredictable. Average draft positions can mean next to nothing at times, particularly in competitive leagues. What should you do if Kershaw falls into your lap unexpectedly at the turn? How about if pitching is flying off the board and productive hitters start dropping an extra round or two below ADP (or more importantly, your own personal rankings)?Please, blog, may I have some more?
Greg Holland
Whenever spring training starts to wind down and the closer spot is yet to be determined, it's never a good thing. It causes rosters to get fat off the land, and wastes your draft picks on no-news type situations. I will turn my one good lazy eye to the Minute Maid conundrum of "who closes for the Astros?" Some may ask: "who cares?" But this is the essence of SAGNOF believers. Cheap closers are what makes the fantasy world get on a sit, spin, chug a beer, and scream obscenities at trolley cars. So from the beginning of the hot-stove baseball season, and even after they signed Luke Gregerson, I believe that it's still Chad Qualls' job. No news is good news for the incumbent… Even though the news all across the reliever landscape is all speculation, "he said this" and "the beat writer said that". Well, the only person who actually knows is the manager, Hinch. So I am going to do my best to break it down from my ivory soap tower. Stick around, there may be something fun or edible once you get inside.Please, blog, may I have some more?
It's been a long, tough winter (especially for those of you who live in the Northeast), but the wait is almost over. Spring training is in full swing and the regular season is just around the corner. That means, of course, that fantasy baseball draft season is here.
Recently, we've attempted to identify the next Corey Kluber and looked at some hitters who displayed above average power and plate discipline over the past couple of seasons. Today, we're going to focus on relief pitchers. If you're looking for the latest closer rankings as well as the top handcuff and hold options, check out the Bullpen Report, which provides excellent RP analysis each and every week.
This post will attempt to identify relievers with a very specific profile: power arms with high K-rates. Players who throw hard and miss bats. It's that simple. Well, mostly. Let's take a look at the search filters that I used for this exercise:Please, blog, may I have some more?
So with the arrival of February comes the arrival, or "un-hibernation" of Smokey. I was just getting comfy, curled up in my crochet loogy-blanket that my grandma made me, dreaming about what else? Bullpens, of course. So this first post of the year is to bring you up to speed on my drafting advice for the upcoming year as it relates to the closers/holds and guys who will help you do everything but start the games. I will be here every week, to update you on the chicanery that is the MLB bullpen picture. So sit back, relax, and just think, it's only four more weeks of me talking about bullpens and closers…Can you feel the excitement? If you hate me now, you will probably wanna hold my hand by week 20 and maybe go see Jared by September 1st. Here's my thoughts on draft strategies for saves in the upcoming year of 2015…Please, blog, may I have some more?
We now get to the ugly step-sister of rankings and the waiver darling position that we all chase. The relief pitcher is by far the most debated position on who to draft, where, and when. For the most part, I agree with you (with whatever you think), but the guys you want…if you get them where they are being drafted, usually beat or exceed value. Injuries suck and do happen, you just can't prevent them. You just have to be in a position of favor and hope that you land his replacement. Sucktitude, i.e see Joe Nathan last year, is just a roster burden and usually drags you down all season because he isn't someone you can just drop, but he makes it awfully hard to roster. It's a catch-22, to stat or not to stat. Last year saw an unforgivable 10 closer changes in the first six weeks. That is not something you can pad your roster with enough save-cuffs for. So let's get to the first set of rankings of the year. I will get into draft strategies for them, and as always, cover holds in the countdown to the season.
Note: Don't forget to come visit me on the new Razzball Fantasy Soccer home everyday of the week. If you're not familiar with the format, NBD, relax, you got us. Ralph and I are giving you the best Fantasy Premier League coverage out there. If you haven't tried fantasy EPL, you're missing out…Please, blog, may I have some more?
With the 2015 fantasy baseball rankings for every position done, we turn our lazy eye towards the top 100 for 2015 fantasy baseball. These 2015 fantasy baseball rankings are one part fresh and two parts to def. They own a cat, a dog and a lizard in a two bedroom apartment where pets aren't allowed. Know why? Cause they don't care! None of this top 100 for 2015 fantasy baseball is meant to surprise. *jumping out of a closet* Boo! Now, that was meant to surprise. This top 100 is just taking my positional rankings and putting guys in The Big Picture. You really should read each ranking post because the blurbs in this top 100 are on the skimpy side because there's so many of them, and I went over each one of these guys already. Obviously at a hundred players, some guys just didn't make it. About 300, to be inexact. It's okay; there will be a top 400 tomorrow. Shortly, Sloth, you'll have your Baby Ruth. Not to get all biblical on you, but this is the gospel. Print it out and take it to Mt. Sinai and it will say, "Win your 2015 fantasy baseball league, young prematurely balding man." Projections were done by me and a crack team of 100 monkeys fighting amongst themselves because there were only 99 typewriters. Somebody please buy Ling-Ling his own typewriter! Anyway, here's the top 100 for 2015 fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Man do I hate the end of the year. People chasing saves are all into it, while the ones that are dead in the water couldn't care less. And let's be honest, they were prolly dead in the water all year when it came to saves. The end of the year chase is starting to show casualties, like the fall from grace of Glen Perkins. Glen is the kinda guy that I like, home-grown guy, pitching in his home state, took a nice friendly contract from the team. He can totally date-my-sister type. Unfortunately, he is staggering to the finish with an unimpressive last few weeks. I personally feel bad, because I own Perkins in a lot of places. I have so many teams, that I actually counted and the only closer I don't own is David Robertson. Yes, every other single closer on this list is owned in some way shape or form by yours truly. So back to Perkins… his ERA and his K/9 rate have seemed to morph into some sort of Jeff Goldblum fly concoction of fantasy uselessness. Overwork and or an injury are the only things I can think that are the problem. He is/was a semi-elite guy until the wheels fell off. So if you're still chasing, Jared Burton and Casey Fien look to be the guys lost likely to take the helm until Perkins rights the ship…which will prolly be next year. Only two weeks to go and we will get one Bullpen Report and one more Closer Report to end the year. The last will be a souped up version with lot's of 2015 treats and stuff. So stay tuned or don't. Your choice.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Ryan Braun revealed he doesn't have a thumb issue, he has a whole hand issue. Unfortch, he's also proving to have a 'can't stay on the field without steroids' issue, which is the result of a 'steroids has broken down his ability to stay healthy' issue that's brought up a 'is he really trying to get on the field' issue that all came about when he was 'wearing scrubs, watching his wife spit out a kid and his wife was squeezing his hand too tightly' issue that leaves the issue, 'will he return and do anything this season?' Basically, Braun's got more men's health issues than Ricky Martin. Whether or not you drop him or just bench him comes down to who you have to replace him, but, in September, he's hitting .200 with zero homers, and he hit .240 in August with four homers, so chances are good you can find someone better than him for the final two and a half weeks. This will definitely muddy waters on if Braun is a mannish boy or what to expect from him in 2015 fantasy baseball. Unless Lame-Ass-Busta Excuses is a category in your league, then Braun has it on lock. (Also, applies if the category is spelled Lame-Ass-Buster Excuses or simply Lame Excuses.) Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
"We're more alike than we are different." That's what Mary Ann said of her and Ginger, but it could also be said of Marcus Stroman and a Flat-Billed Pitchypus. He needs maybe a fifteen-second ironing and a quarter-cup of starch and he'd be there. Considering the tumultuous recent years of the Flat-Billed Pitchypus, maybe it's for the best. "You want more starch on this?" "Yes." Dontrelle Willis reaches for his TGIF's hat, drops jalapeno poppers on his foot and screams. Yesterday, Stroman threw a shutout in 93 pitches. Greg Maddux called and said, "You owe me a nickel." Stroman's sparkling like I screwed his head into my SodaStream, pushed down the level way too long and bubbles started coming into his eyes. Mary Ann's existential quote could also be used to say there's more similarities than differences between Stroman and an ace. He shouldn't generate that much velocity from a five-foot-nine frame. Yet, there he is throwing 94 MPH while high-fiving his teammates on a step stool. He's credited with a six-pitch arsenal that he can locate with pinpoint accuracy. I'm going to have a Marcus Stroman post for 2015 fantasy baseball to highlight his sensational stuff for next year, and then he'll probably be in the top 10 pitchers for 2016. A star is born just don't iron the brim any further; you're good. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
After Rafael Soriano once again looked like his apologetic alter ego, Sorry-yo, Matt Williams said the Nats won't have a set closer. Let's backtrack to August 18th, it was a day after the fourth time Soriano had given up runs in the matter of two weeks. At that point, I wrote there was a problem, and I grabbed Drew Storen. That was three weeks ago, and things haven't gotten better. So, why was I able to spot there was a problem with Soriano three weeks prior to the Nationals manager, Matt Williams? Terrific question. There's a few possible reasons A) Matt Williams's Oakleys are worn to shield TV cameras from showing he's actually asleep. B) Matt Williams can't find steroids that make him smarter. C) There's no C. D) In a secret meeting in Bud Selig's wood-paneled basement in Milwaukee in 1999, Major League Baseball declared that every team must have at least one Mark McGwire. Matt Williams was elected to be Arizona's Mark McGwire. (Sosa was elected to be the Cubs' McGwire, which is why he bleached his skin.) The experiment to have a McGwire on every team was a success at first, but soon the players that were elected to be McGwire began to say, "I'm not here to talk about the past," every time any question was asked. The biggest offender of this was Matt Williams, so, rather than risk being found out, MLB made him the Nats manager. Any of these reasons could be right, but it's probably D. So, with Soriano in trouble, the Nats could go to Storen, Tyler Clippard or Matt Thornton. My guess is it'll go in that order, and yesterday Storen got the clean save, helping his case. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?

Christopher Heine | March 5, 2012 | Comments
Survey results show nearly all Groupon, LivingSocial, etc. buyers at least intend to become repeat patrons.
Groupon and LivingSocial create customers that at least intend to repeat their patronage, according to new research from ForeSee.
According to ForeSee, 29 percent of those customers are new. Of those customers, 17 percent knew of the retailer but hadn't purchased from it before buying a voucher, and 12 percent had never heard of the company before buying its deal.
At the same time, 91 percent of daily deals purchasers surveyed either had returned to the local business after taking advantage of its special offer or at least planned to, according to ForeSee. Of that total, 44 percent had already made a follow-up visit while 47 percent said they were looking to do so in the future. A similar total - 90 percent - stated they had redeemed a voucher in the prior three months.
Deals Subscribers Dip While Groupon Dominates
ForeSee pulled the numbers during November and December, polling 10,000 online visitors with its indexing system. The Ann Arbor, MI-based company's study had other intriguing news for the likes of Groupon, LivingSocial, and Woot.

Roadside weed ID
MarcPerr(5)March 31, 2014
Last summer I took a photo of this weed growing along side a road. I don't know if it's at a stage where it is identifiable, but I think it's fairly common. Any ideas on what it might be? Photo taken in S.E. Michigan.

Product description
The highly anticipated complement to the New York Times bestselling Momofuku cookbook, Momofuku Milk Bar reveals the recipes for the innovative, addictive cookies, pies, cakes, ice creams, and more from the wildly popular bakery. A runaway success, the Momofuku cookbook suffered from just one criticism among reviewers and fans: where were Christina Tosi's fantastic desserts? The compost cookie, a chunky chocolate-chip cookie studded with crunchy salty pretzels and coffee grounds; the crack pie, a sugary-buttery confection as craveable as the name implies; the cereal milk ice cream, made from everyone's favorite part of a nutritious breakfast?the milk at the bottom of a bowl of cereal; the easy layer cakes that forgo fancy frosting in favor of unfinished edges that hint at the yumminess inside. Momofuku Milk Bar finally shares the recipes for these now-legendary riffs on childhood flavors and down-home classics?all essentially derived from ten mother recipes?along with the compelling narrative of the unlikely beginnings of this quirky bakery's success. It all started one day when Momofuku founder David Chang asked Christina to make a dessert for dinner that night. Just like that, the pastry program at Momofuku began, and Christina?s playful desserts helped the restaurants earn praise from the New York Times and the Michelin Guide and led to the opening...

Jets need more from Pavelec — much more
Too often this season Ondrej Pavelec has failed to bail out the Winnipeg Jets, and Saturday afternoon was a perfect example.
Pavelec isn't breaking the Jets right now, but they need him to do more boosting. They need big saves at crucial moments to keep them in games. Pavelec isn't providing this. He's not killing the Jets. But he hasn't been the life preserver they desperately need.
The Jets are fragile right now. They can't overcome adversity.
Even when they're doing good things, the slightest bump seems to knock them off track. Against such a backdrop they need superior goaltending. Pavelec's numbers, a goals-against average of 3.09 and a save percentage of .902 rank 29th and 30th, respectively. Not good enough for a team like the Jets.
One can argue it's the rest of the Jets who are making Pavelec look bad, but that wasn't the case Saturday.
"I didn't make any saves," said Pavelec, following Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks in which he allowed three goals on four shots in a span of under five minutes early in the second period.
Jets coach Claude Noel, who yanked Pavelec after the fourth goal against, deflected criticism of his goalie.
"I'm not going to blame the goalie. Pavelec has made lots of big saves for us this season. There were mistakes that were made before him that led to those opportunities for Chicago," said Noel.
Fair enough. But right now, with the Jets scuffling as a team and dropping to 5-8-2 on the season, Pavelec must be brilliant. It's in the job description of an NHL goalie.
One can hear it all around the league after a night when a goalie stops shot after impossible shot. "That's my job," say goalies.
And when they let in a goal that leads to a loss: "I didn't do what I needed to do to allow my team to win."
Unsure of themselves as the Jets are right now they could ill afford a soft goaltending performance on Saturday. Rather, they needed Pavelec to stand on his head, glossing over their mistakes. Not magnify them.
One might argue, as Noel did, that Pavelec did nothing to add to the Jets problems on Saturday afternoon. But he sure didn't help solve them.
This game turned on one shift early in the second period. The Jets had played a fine first period, skating to a 1-1 tie through 20 minutes. There were lots of positives to build on.
In fact, the Jets steamed out of the dressing room and stormed down the ice to pepper Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford with three quick chances.
But Crawford didn't win a Stanley Cup last spring by letting his team down in hot moments. He's practised in bailing them out when they need it most.
So when Crawford turned the last of those three Jets shooters down, his teammates paid him back and zipped down the ice, with fourth-liner Brandon Bollig wiring a wrist shot from the top of the circle that beat Pavelec.
Game. Set. Match.
The disparity in the work put forward by Crawford and Pavelec on this night was glaring.
Shots on goal were 15-14 in favour of Winnipeg when Pavelec left and the scoring chances were nine apiece.
The difference? Crawford stopped all but one and gave his team the big save when the going go heavy. Pavelec did not.
Certainly, having a defence pairing of Adam Pardy and Ben Chiarot, AHLers who struggled mightily against the Hawks, didn't help the Jets No. 1 goalie but there are a million excuses along the trail to Loserville.
This was a moment for Pavelec to stand up and save his team. But like he said himself, he saved nothing on this day.
Blaming the goalie for all the woes of the Winnipeg Jets is simplistic and would let far too many others off the hook.
The Jets have lots of issues. From a lack of quality depth on the blue-line to not enough scoring to a shortage of effective players at centre ice. Winnipeg simply isn't good enough right now.
And that includes in the crease.

Excellent value
October 07, 2012
I'm only ever used to wearing cotton, as i tend to find wool and synthetic fabrics very itchy, but i was pleasantly surprised to find that the merino hardly itched and went away very quickly.
it's warm, feels great and excellent value (£24.99 at the moment!)

Ideal for walkin holidays as they can be worn more than once.

Re: For those that moved from land to sea
I did it in phases -
1) decide to buy boat and save money to buy it in cash - 5 years - I did buy half of a Catalina 27 and sail it 100+ days a year during this phase. Lived on it weekends.
2) buy the boat, sell everything except house, and move aboard - 1 year
3) rent out house for 2 years, then decide to sell it - 2 years
4) sell the house - 1 day (your mileage may vary)
My original plan was to keep the house as a rental property long-term. It was reading horror stories of other cruisers on this site and blogs that changed my mind.

In his first address to Congress after being sworn in as President of the United States, President Obama laid out an aggressive progressive agenda for increasing the number of Americans with college degrees over the next ten years. "We will provide the support necessary for you to complete college and meet a new goal," he promised Americans, "by 2020, America will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world."
President Obama's goal here completely misdiagnoses what ails our higher education system. A culture that encourages and a government that and subsidizes higher education has driven up costs, pushed underqualified students into institutions that they're not ready for, propped up a student debt bubble and hurt the quality of our higher educational institutions.
What's odd about the President's agenda is that he recognizes some of these problems. In that same 2009 speech to Congress, he acknowledged that "we have one of the highest high school dropout rates of any industrialized nation. And half of the students who begin college never finish."
Modern American postsecondary education is thought of as a "bundled" model: everything comes included and nothing is severable: professors, brick-and-mortar buildings, books, testing, certification and so on. But in an economy where so many recent graduates are saddled with student debt and can't find jobs with the skills they've acquired, it might be time to rethink the way the system works for everyone.
Traditional bundled models of higher education – this includes both two- and four-year programs - will be beneficial to the students who are prepared for the academic rigor and willing to make financial plans in order to not overstretch themselves. What's important is academic preparedness and choosing a course of study, including the level of degree, that is right for a student. The bundled model isn't for everyone, and it's increasingly not for the students who are borderline college applicants.
