Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
Last year, under the direction of the governor and the Legislature, the Prison Relocation and Development Authority Committee (PRADA) was formed to evaluate the practical and economic feasibility of relocating the state prison.
This committee met many times over the course of the past year. Each meeting was open to the public. Stakeholders and members of the press were always invited. On several occasions I personally invited members of the press to join us. This letter is written partly in response to insinuations by John Florez ("Moving prison violates public trust," Jan. 26) that the committee has not acted with the best interest of the state in mind.
The PRADA committee was tasked to collect information and then consider the following:
Advantages and disadvantages of moving the prison from its current location; advantages and disadvantages of a potential new prison site; programing at the prison (one pressing limitation with the current facilities is that recidivism programs need more physical space to develop and expand); a cost-benefit analysis of potential new development on the Draper property if the prison is moved; other potential sites where the prison could be relocated and the advantages or disadvantages of those potential sites.
The committee was also to determine if it would be better for the state to allow the prison to remain in the center of what is now a thriving economic stronghold or to move it to another part of the state where it could help create a new source of employment and economic stimulus.
The PRADA committee will report its findings to the governor in February. Its report will show that the economic development possibilities associated with relocation will be significant for creating jobs and new development.
It will also recommend that a new PRADA committee continue the feasibility study by requesting specific proposals bids (called RFPs) for the relocation. This new committee will take into consideration the availability of volunteers (who are an essential part to the workings of the prison) and the current prison facility employees. We do not want to lose well-trained employees or dedicated volunteers.
If the required legislative benchmarks are met, the committee will issue contracts to move the prison and develop the old prison site. After those contracts are issued and accepted, it is expected to take 30 to 36 months to relocate the prison. During that time period, normal attrition is expected to alleviate most of the change in the existing workforce.
I do not appreciate the negative aspersions cast on our work. This has been a methodical and transparent process with the best interest of the entire state always at the forefront.

Unions, supporters plan iWon't campaign against Verizon iPhone 5
Several unions and lobbying groups plan to use the iPhone 5 launch to publicize a union contract dispute with Verizon Wireless. The Communications Workers of America, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the AFL-CIO are being joined by MoveOn.org, US Action, and Jobs with Justice to formally announce the campaign on Monday. Dubbed "iWon't," the campaign will ask Americans to delay upgrading to the iPhone 5 on Verizon Wireless until the company agrees to a fair contract with its workers. The group plans to conduct online and grass roots outreach, advertising, and leafleting at hundreds of Verizon Wireless stores starting on Tuesday, October 4th, which it believes—probably incorrectly—will be the launch date of the iPhone 5.
This coalition also aims to expose what it refers to as the "Verizon Tax Loophole," describing the methods that Verizon is using to avoid paying federal corporate income taxes, and plans to lobby the government to force companies such as Verizon to pay their fair share in federal taxes while respecting workers' rights. The contract dispute reportedly involved 45,000 Verizon and Verizon Wireless workers, who seek to protect their health care coverage and employee benefits.

Spectacular water views, beach, tikis, fishing pier, water toys, and pet-friendly!
Waterfront paradise! Great water view from this lovely 3 bedroom home. Perfect sunsets! Sandy beach and dockage.
We stayed here for our honeymoon and just loved it! The house was great, and the view of the sunsets off the front porch were amazing. Quiet and peaceful, it was exactly what we wanted! We will definitely be back.
This place was awesome. It was a vacation I took with my family and we are defiantly going back to this GEM! 3 bed 2 bath, private beach and a backyard court with BBQ. We went fishing, paddle boating and kayaking. Everything is well maintained, staff is amazing as well. Also, great security. I would recommend this property to all. My family and I will be back.
Wonderful house for us. Clean. Big rooms. Nice kitchen table. Porch outback is fantastic.
Walking to the beach is a stretch, unless you really really like to walk carrying a bunch of beach stuff. I just loaded the car and parked at the beach, which was cheap. The kids would ride bikes and meet me.
Ridgevale beach is a pretty special spot for kids. You have the main beach out front, which nobody swims in anymore since the sharks have hit the news. However, the back has a tidal rover that flows into and out of the marsh. Falling tide is a blast to float out. The kids love catching crabs and fish, etc... Bring nets or buy them at the snack shop. Rent the paddle boards as well. Tons of fun.
As a family vacation, it's A++
We rented the Bayhouse for our wedding and it was FANTASTIC! The sunset was perfect. The house was clean and the jacuzzi was great. We had an awesome time. We would love to come back next year for our anniversary.
we just returned from a month stay at the bayhouse and we had a wonderful time. the house was well equipped, clean and comfortable and the proximity to the water was amazing. the property was perfect for our two dogs who had a great time at the beach. the "locals" on the property were all friendly and helpful. thanks to Rock Star, Phil, Joe, Fred, Noah, Tonya, Rueban and Lisa for showing us a great time.

We recently spent a week's vacation in this house. We expected a good time but it wasn't just good but FANTASTIC! We found the house spotless, homey and well equipped. We did not miss a thing during our stay. This house has it all. The owners are always ready to help though you do not really need more than what is offered with the rental. The locals are very friendly. I saw one negative comment about this place in this site before I rented but our stay confirmed that the people that made that comment were expecting Miami Beach like beaches and you do not find those in the keys. But, you do not have beautiful sunsets, hammocks to enjoy them nor the personal property feeling in Miami Beach as you find here. We will definitely come back and recommend this place to our friends.
Other Activities: Swim with dolphins

The ferry brought in to replace the troubled Aratere will resume sailing this evening after breaking down in Wellington Harbour this morning.
Stena Alegra, standing in on a charter for the crippled Aratere, broke down in the middle of Wellington Harbour about 5am soon after it left on its routine early morning sailing for Picton.
Interislander general manager Thomas Davis said the ferry had been cleared to resume service with its scheduled passenger sailing from Wellington at 5pm today.
The source of a problem that caused two engines to shut down, affecting the control systems for one of the propellers, had been identified and repaired, he said.
"We apologise to our customers for the disruption this fault caused and thank them for their patience," Davis said.
The fault forced the early morning freight sailing from Wellington to Picton to be cancelled, as well as the return journey - a passenger sailing due to leave Picton at 9.05am carrying about 150 cars.
After the engine failure the ship was given a tug escort to an anchorage within the harbour where it remained until the Kaitaki ferry sailed out on its 9am sailing for Picton.
Stena Alegra then berthed under its own power at the InterIslander ferry terminal about 9.30am and some shipping containers and trucks were driven off the vessel.
Later in the morning Stena Alegra moved away from the ferry terminal berth to Aotea Quay, to a position where cruise ships normally berth.
Maritime New Zealand officials boarded the ferry to ensure it would be fully seaworthy before resuming service.
There was a light southerly wind in Wellington Harbour this morning and sea conditions were calm when the engine shutdown occurred.
The Stena Alegra made its first passenger crossing on Monday night, but has since been regularly holding up other sailings because of problems with its bow doors and stern ramp.
It sailed two hours late from Wellington on Wednesday morning, and more than half an hour late in the afternoon.
The Kaitaki was forced to stop in the middle of Wellington Harbour on both occasions on Wednesday while waiting to get into the shared ferry terminal berth.
Davis said the delays resulted from "teething problems with equipment, including issues with the raising and lowering of the ramp, some loading issues, and most recently an issue with the bow door.
"We can confirm that some improvements are being made to the bow door equipment by the ship's owner as a warranty issue."
Like Aratere, the 21,000 gross tonne Stena Alegra was built in Spain and has been chartered from its Swedish owners as a replacement for the Aratere.
Aratere lost its propeller on a sailing from Picton to Wellington on the night of November 5.
The Stena Alegra was previously operating on a route between Poland and Sweden, and ran aground during a severe storm in October last year.
NZ First leader Winston Peters said the Government should step in immediately and put a "qualified person in charge of the ferry service".
"The Government has been incompetent over this matter for years ... The present situation simply cannot be allowed to continue," Peters said.
KiwiRail had an uncanny knack of picking "lemons", Peters said.
"The Cook Strait ferry service is a farce. KiwiRail simply cannot get it right and it keeps making mistakes that are costing millions of dollars of taxpayers' money.
"The Aratere was a floating shambles and KiwiRail has simply replaced one mistake with another,"

The sun has long gone by the time we arrive at Sri Panwa. Even in the dark, our villa is breathtaking. It sits high on a clifftop, twinkling its spectacular-ness to the faint lights of cruise ships and fishing boats in the vast Andaman Ocean below.
I dangle my legs in the plunge pool that wraps seductively around the villa while I wait for my bag to arrive from check-in. It feels like I am on the very edge of Cape Panwa. Lightning strikes, off in the distance, and it's impossible not to skinny dip.
I've just finished in the steam room when "Porn" ("It means something nice from heaven") arrives with my bag and to tell me I can call her any time, for anything, by dialling 71. Is this heaven, I wonder? Sri Panwa is a hip selection of private, luxurious villas and suites just 40 minutes from Phuket in Thailand's south.
It's run by a Thai family, with Bangkok-born Vorasit "Wan" Issara at its helm - a man who is extremely difficult to dislike, despite being stylish, energetic, annoyingly young (29) and full of big ideas that he actually follows through on. When he set up the resort a few years ago, he began by hiring a dozen of his friends from Swiss hospitality school. A few still remain, blurring the line between work and play successfully and enviously, and increasing the fun-factor for guests.
At the overstaffed resort, people stop whatever they are doing to look you in the eyes and offer a hearty "sawadi ka". Resort tuk-tuks are on call to transport guests from villa to spa to beach to restaurant to pool.
There are tennis lessons with a former champ, a well-equipped gym, a cooking school and a luxurious new day spa. Dozens of day trips can be arranged from the resort's jetty (night fishing, diving, an island picnic, visiting the Phuket Aquarium next door) and there is a flotilla of yachts for hire.
I hadn't counted on quite so much choice. To get wet, do I paddle in the plunge pool, jump under one of the three rain showers (under the stars, in the bedroom or in the separate daybed room), sink into the large sunken spa bath or wander down to the Poolclub pool, the beach pool or the beach?
On which of the villa's daybeds do I recline: one by the pool over the sea, a larger cushioned version under the shade or an even larger example indoors.
Eating and drinking has me choosing between room service, a couple of bars, an underground club and several restaurants.
I opt to do them all, waddling from breakfast on the daybed to the Baba Poolclub for fresh sashimi and sushi washed down with a frozen lime and basil martini for lunch, before bouncing to the comfortable rocking chairs for fusion food at Baba Dining Lounge (baba means "melting pot" in Thai - think classical cooking with local ingredients - tom yam pizza, lychee duck, crisp fried morning glory, watermelon salad, papaya salad and wasabi soya rib eye).
It keeps me very busy.
For the first time on an overseas adventure, I am opting not to undertake any adventurous exploration. No shopping, climbing, riding or hiking.
I need some downtime! So the brand-new Cool Spa, with its multistoreys of water features, hidden pools, mood lighting and talented massage and beauty therapists, is to become the nauseatingly self-indulgent focus of my stay. I craft an adventure challenge of my own: seven treatments in four days.
It isn't as easy as it sounds, given there are six long pages of soul and body-nourishing options. First up, I opt for an hour-long traditional Thai massage for 2900 baht (NZ$125), a twisty-turny clothed massage, which makes that perfect mix of relaxation and production: a lazy man's yoga workout, if you will.
The next morning, I have the Sabai facial (2900 baht) - with oatmeal, honey, yoghurt and milk, all of which smells so good that I have to taste it, which sends Kate, my therapist, into hysterics. (For the record, not much taste going on.)
I then take my gloriously soft-skinned head straight into an Indian head massage - Ayurvedic - for an hour of pure heaven (2500 baht).
Next day is a cocoa butter body scrub (2200 baht), which has to be prepared a day in advance and is pure yummy indulgence: a thick scrub then a toasty shower and a wonderful, soothing slathering of buttery goodness. Divine.
I get to lie down for the reflexology foot massage (2500 baht), an hour of power that hurts less than I expect and leaves a real spring in my step.
On my last morning, I tick off the Sri Panwa serenity massage (4200 baht for 90 minutes).
I'm offered the oils of lemongrass, Asian blend, mood lifting, mint and lavender but as I'm a sucker for a marketing campaign, I opt for "slimming". It smells divine, feels oh-so-wonderful but does nothing for the waistline (the copious cocktails could be to blame, though).
There is so much more to try - pedis/manis, haircuts, an after-sun treatment, wraps (but does anyone ever crave a wrap on an exotic sunny holiday?) and so on. I haven't even scratched the surface. I start getting panicked. What should I try last?
Just before I depart, I take the (free) sunset stretching class - and it's to be the highlight of my stay.
We move and sway in the wet evening heat to the soothing sounds of birds, crickets, trees and our breathing, and the smells of rain, the distant sea, salt, trees and the new wood on the spa deck.
I am well aware that I could wander to Patong beach and get a Thai massage for a third of the price but Cool Spa is just so sweetly serene and calming. (And not crazily expensive - my seven experiences set me back the equivalent of $750.)
Walking in there - with its pond of lilypads, soothing blue colour scheme, vast views and gentle, welcoming staff - makes me relax. The name "Cool Spa" had initially seemed unsophisticated but, once there, it defined the resort and its laid-back charms just perfectly.
The writer was a guest of Sri Panwa.

SBD/19/Leagues Governing Bodies
Published March 19, 1997
MLS' second season begins this Saturday with most teams in action. In Tampa, Bill Ward examined MLS' second season, noting, "In many ways, Major League Soccer's inaugural season last year was almost too successful." Ward: "For all it accomplished, it left MLS executives with a problem: How are they going to top it this year?" Ward adds that "showing modest gains, improving the level of play and shoring up the trouble spots will be no easy task in 1997" (TAMPA TRIBUNE, 3/16). In San Diego, Mark Zeigler notes the offseason moves made by the league, the league office moving to New York, more foreign players, and "talk" of expansion. Ziegler: "Good changes. Important changes. Necessary changes. The point is, the league is not standing pat. It isn't because it can't" (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 3/19). League Commissioner Doug Logan said he expects the average attendance will rise 15% in '97, from 17,416 to 20,000. The ten MLS teams have sold 34,000 season-tickets, a six percent increase over last year (AP/N.Y. POST, 3/16). STAR STRUCK: In N.Y., the DAILY NEWS' Michael Lewis noted the MetroStars are 30% ahead of season-ticket sales at this time last year at nearly 8,000; the target is 12,000. Lewis wrote an average attendance of 30,000 "isn't out of the question" due to the area's extensive fan base and that 14 of 16 home games are on weekends (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 3/16). NEXT STEPS: SI's "Scorecard" previews year two, and notes the newly formed MLSPA's class-action suit claiming the league is illegally holding down salaries. SI: "Though it poses a formidable challenge to MLS, the suit will take anywhere from three to 10 years to get through the courts. Both sides would be wise to avoid acrimony that could tear the league apart" (SI, 3/24 issue). THROW INS: Nearly 34,000 tickets have been sold for the USA-Mexico World Cup qualifying match at Foxboro Stadium on April 20. The match, televised by ABC, will be followed by an MLS Mutiny-Revolution contest (U.S. Soccer).

Visit a typical gym and you will encounter a highly standardised notion of what the human body should look like and how much it should weigh. This strictly controlled body ideal is spread across the world by large actors in the fitness industry.
A new study explores how the fitness industry in many ways resembles that of fast food. One of the authors is from the University of Gothenburg.
McDonaldisation of the gym culture is the theme of an article published in Sports, Education and Society, where Thomas Johansson, professor at the University of Gothenburg, together with Jesper Andreasson, senior lecturer at the Linnaeus University, have explored the development of the modern fitness concept. The study is partly based on interviews with personal trainers and group fitness instructors.
14 000 gyms across the world
With the example of the company Les Mills, established in New Zealand in the 1960s, the authors describe the emergence of a strictly regulated and globalised culture in the field of group fitness training. Les Mills – a giant in the fitness industry – operates based on a franchise model where permission to use the company's programmes is sold across the whole world. Today, over 14 000 gym offer a Les Mills programme. The company is represented in over 80 countries, including Sweden, and caters to over four million fitness class participants every week.
Strictly regulated movements
'Les Mills implies a standardised set of techniques that look basically the same in all forms of group fitness training. It's really a business empire built around group fitness,' says Johansson.
The concept consists of the company's head trainer presenting strictly regulated movements, including which music should be played while they are performed. The instructions are updated every three months and then spread throughout the whole chain of certified Les Mills instructors. As a result, local instructors have a very marginal influence over the fitness classes they lead.
Limits utilisation of competence
'This of course limits the individual instructors' chances of tapping into their full competence, as they have no way of changing the movements, music or the way they give instructions. Their abilities are not fully utilised since they have to adhere so strictly to a pre-designed terminology and choreography. At the same time, individual gyms often promote the whole thing as a quality index,' says Jesper Andreasson.
This summer, the authors will publish a book titled The Global Gym. Gender, Health and Pedagogies (Palgrave Macmillan).

A spotlight has been thrown on the Conservative Party's close links with the hedge fund industry, as new research showed that around half of the wealthiest fund managers in Britain have given money to the Tory party, and Labour accused David Cameron of fashioning government tax policy in the interests of the sector.
The revelation of the large political donations from ultra-wealthy money managers coincided with a stark warning from the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, that "with wealth comes power and with power comes a temptation to misuse power".
In a BBC interview the Archbishop also deprecated the practice of companies artificially shifting their profits offshore in order to reduce their UK profit taxes, adding that firms should pay their "fair share" in countries in which they generate their revenues.
The research into hedge fund managers' political donations, which was compiled by the Labour Party based on public disclosures, found that of the 59 wealthiest asset managers included on the most recent Sunday Times Rich List rankings 27 had made a combined £19m in donations to the Conservatives, with £10m flowing into Tory coffers since the 2010 general election alone.
Labour also drew attention to the government's abolition in 2013 of a stamp duty reserve tax on investment funds, which it described as an effective £145m "hedge fund tax cut". Labour leader Ed Miliband repeatedly pressed David Cameron on the matter at Prime Ministers' Questions in the Commons today, saying Mr Cameron refused to close the loophole because he was "bankrolled by hedge funds". The questions were, however, brushed aside by the Prime Minister, who went on to point out Labour's lack of vocal support from wealthy business leaders.
Lucy Powell, vice-chair of Labour's general election campaign, said: "David Cameron is debasing political debate by refusing to answer questions over his hedge fund backers. The Tories are standing up for those at the top rather than hardworking families, and David Cameron doesn't want to admit it."
The Conservatives later claimed that closing the stamp duty loophole would hurt pension funds, rather than penalise hedge funds.

The Conservative Party's reliance on donations from people who work in financial services has been documented in the past. In 2011 the Bureau of Investigative Journalism reported that the financial industry accounted for around 50 per cent of all the party's cash donations in 2010, up from 25 per cent in 2005. Around three-quarters of Labour's donations come from the trade unions.
The wealthiest hedge fund manager in 2014 according to The Sunday Times was Alan Howard, 50, of the Brevan Howard fund, with an estimated personal net worth of £1.6bn. Mr Howard has contributed £116,000 to the Tory party. However the two biggest hedge funds donors were Michael Farmer of RK Capital Management, a metals trader, who has donated £6.5m to the Conservatives and Sir Michael Hintze of the giant CQS fund, Europe's biggest, who has given £3.2m. Other significant hedge fund donors were Lord Fink, the party's former co-treasurer, who has donated £3.2m to the Tory party and Chris Rokos, also of Brevan Howard, who has donated £1.3m.
The Archbishop's intervention on corporate tax avoidance could also create a personal headache for the Prime Minister. It was reported this week that Smythson, the luxury stationers for which the Prime Minister's wife, Samantha, works as an advisor, is owned through a holding company in Luxemboug and linked to a trust in the Channel Island of Guernsey, both tax shelters.
In a speech to the All-Party Group on Inclusive Growth, Welby said that "wealth creation is a good thing" but added that in a good economy a person's wealth cannot be measured by their economic output alone.

Jared Leto Says He Damaged His Oscar Trophy
Only a few days after the 2014 Oscars, Jared Leto reveals that he already damaged his statue. Leto, who was crowned Best Supporting Actor for his role in "Dallas Buyers Club", made the revelation in an interview with Entertainment Tonight Canada on Tuesday, March 4.
"The Oscar is sitting in my kitchen, guarded by some vegan butter and a bag of popcorn!" he Leto said of the trophy. "You know, they kind of end up in the kitchen because that's the first place that I go when I get home. You put your keys down and you take off your jacket... and you put your Oscar in the kitchen."
The 42-year-old star then went on sharing a story of the incident. "I was letting some of the people that I work with take a picture with the Oscar and I was carrying it down the stairs and, boom, I hit it against the stairs, the railing and I put a little nick in the back of it... so you know, that's how it goes. It's already lived in, as they say," he shared.
On the same day, Leto's band 30 Seconds to Mars announced the "Carnivores Tour" with Linkin Park. In a separate interview with Access Hollywood, Leto talked about what it was like in his tour bus. "When you're on tour, you learn quickly how to take care of yourself," he explained. "Our tour bus is pretty quiet, pretty simple, filled with some vegan butter and almond milk. So it's not the sex, drugs, rock'n'roll."
He additionally said of the upcoming shows, "I assure you one thing - the shows are gonna be something not to forget. They're gonna be wonderful. I mean, this is an opportunity like we've never had before. We're really proud to be part of it."

SOUTH AFRICA: Eckes gears up to spoil Pernod's Polish party
The German alcohol producer Eckes is to further spoil Pernod Ricard's Polish vodka dreams by announcing that it is looking to bid for one of the five Polish vodka distilleries presently up for grabs.A public relations representative of the German company told the Polish press this week that Eckes was particularly interested in one of the three leading Polmoses, Poznan, Bialystock or Zielona Gora.However the choice and decision to buy will depend on market conditions and will take time to make, the source said.The news will be of concern to Pernod particularly over Poznan and Bialystock, which produce the brands Wyborowa and Zubrowka respectively - brands which Pernod had, until recently, the international distribution rights for and is looking to buy itself.The Germans would look to sell the vodka in the five European countries where it has factories and distribution networks, according to the Polish report. The company has a 10% share of the German alcohol market, 19% in Austria and 30% in the Czech republic.The Polish government is planning to put all 21 Polmoses up for privatisation, but to date has only opened negotiations for five, namely Poznan, Bialystock, Zielona Gora, Zyrardow and Lublin.Among the other international firms thought to be preparing a bid for the five on the market already is Swedish drinks monopoly Vin & Sprit, the owner of Absolut Vodka.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Conklin Bros., a company that offers a huge selection of top quality Carpet, Area Rugs, Fine Wool, Hardwood, Luxury Vinyl Tiles, Laminate and Porcelain tiles, has just posted a new and informative blog on its website that compares and contrasts engineered wood flooring with solid wood flooring. The Conklin Bros San Jose flooring experts were motivated to write the educational article, because they realized that many people do not know the difference between these two types of popular flooring.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140113/MN45015)
In addition, in order to connect with as many of their customers as possible, Conklin Bros San Mateo is now on Google Plus; this helps the company stay in touch with their clients through the social media site.
As the new blog notes, there are definite pros and cons to having a solid wood floor. The advantages include a reduced risk of the wood being damaged, as well as greater durability. Solid wood flooring, the blog noted, lasts for years and is available in many grains, colors and textures. On the flipside, solid wood flooring can crack and warp when exposed to moisture or humidity, and it does not come in the wide range of styles that are available for engineered wood floors.
The "What is Engineered Wood Flooring?" article also takes an in-depth look at the advantages and disadvantages of an engineered wood floor. Because it is available in many types of thicknesses, and because the top layer is attached to strong and budget-friendly under plies, it is even more durable than solid wood flooring.
"Because of the construction process, engineered wood is less prone to water damage and warping than solid wood, making it a better choice for areas of high moisture," the blog explained, adding that with engineered wood, additional underlayment is unnecessary, although homeowners may still want to have one just for the additional structural stability or height concerns.
"The drawback of an engineered wood floor is the veneer strip can be relatively thin, making the floor susceptible to damage and refinishing the floor once or twice on average before the floor has to be taken out and replaced."
Since the Bay Area is prone to getting a lot of rain and high humidity, the article suggests that homeowners strongly consider an engineered hardwood floor. This is also true for people with kids and/or pets, who tend to be harder on flooring. However, the article also points out that solid hardwood can be a great option for local customers, especially for upstairs bedrooms and lighter traffic areas of the home.

He cited examples such as a Washington, D.C.-based sports club that leveraged IoT and the cloud to develop a comprehensive booking system. He also highlighted how IoT can revitalize and restore outdated business models, making them profitable ...

We all know the latest numbers: Gartner, Inc. forecasts that 6.4 billion connected things will be in use worldwide in 2016, up 30 percent from last year, and will reach 20.8 billion by 2020. We're rapidly approaching a data production of 40 zettabytes a day – more than we can every physically store, and exabytes and yottabytes are just around the corner. For many that's a good sign, as data has been proven to equal money – IF it's ingested, integrated, and analyzed fast enough. Without real-ti...

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

As companies gain momentum, the need to maintain high quality products can outstrip their development team's bandwidth for QA. Building out a large QA team (whether in-house or outsourced) can slow down development and significantly increases costs.

Oh man! So close to a Joel Youngblood sighting! Melvin Upton was traded from the Padres to the Blue Jays, a team they are currently facing. Is it me or does it seem like this year the teams are so cheap, they're not even using their cell minutes. If they're playing against a team, then they're trading with them. That's it. Surprised the Indians haven't been more active then. Ya know, cause they could use smoke signals. By the way, nothing you could ever say about Native Americans is more racist than a team being called Redskins or the Indians' mascot. So, go ahead, try! Melvin Upton shook the B.J. name, but you can't take the Upton out of the B.J.'s, Blue Jays, that is. The trade of Upton takes him from a mediocre team to a solid offensive team, but moves him from the middle of the order to the lower third of the order and potentially even hurts his playing time if the Jays want to get Smoak into the lineup. I'm gonna say all things being equal, it's a push, which technically means all things are equal, so there! Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?

If I were to have asked you prior to the start of the season, who would lead the majors in home runs on July 26, you probably would have said, "Harper, Stanton, or Bautista." Hey, all of those are fair names. In fact, Encarnacion, Frazier, or Arenado would have made great choices as well. But, would any of you picked Mark Trumbo? Highly unlikely. It appears as though Trumbo is the new Nelson Cruz. After struggling in back-to-back season, Trumbo is well on his way to 40-plus homers, which would be a career high. Baltimore is a perfect spot for Trumbo and he's making the most of his tenure in Charm City. On Tuesday night, the Orioles welcome Chad "Don't Call Me Jerome" Bettis and the Rockies to Camden Yards in what will likely be an all-out slugfest. The funny thing is that the Orioles are drastically underpriced. Only $4,100 for Trumbo? Um, what? This guy is leading the majors in home runs for God's sake! Though his ownership will likely be high, it'll be tough to fade Trumbo is cash games. Play him and love him when he goes deep twice or play him and get moderately annoyed when he goes 0-for-4 with three Ks and a flyout with the bases loaded–hopefully he's 50 percent owned!

In 1906, the Cubs won a major league record 116 games. In 1907 and 1908, the Cubs won back-to-back World Series championships. Anticipating a third championship in 1909, a young, enterprising Chicago man bought up all the toilet paper in Chicago, planning on selling the toilet paper back to the celebrators for twice the amount of money for their ticker tape parade. The Cubs never won again, but it turned out people still needed toilet paper in their everyday life. So, he still sold it back to them at a huge markup. Now, most people would've been annoyed with this man, but he was so charming, which later became Charmin. A titan of industry. So, with this in mind, I've invested my life savings in toilet paper, and will sell it back to Cubs' fans this October. I'm gonna make money, y'all! By the way, Cubs could be World Series champs within days of Donald Trump becoming president, that fallout shelter doesn't seem like such a bad idea. As for Aroldis Chapman, the trade was completed yesterday with him going to the Cubs for a bunch of prospects. This kills Hector Rondon's value for redraft leagues, since he'll be pushed into the setup role with Aroldis closing. Whereas in New York, Andrew Miller goes from a top setup man to a top five closer. Now, here's hoping for an Indians/Cubs World Series so I win either way with all of this TP. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
The White Sox were due to wear throwback jerseys on Saturday, and Chris Sale didn't want to wear them. The White Sox refused to relent, so Sale took it upon himself to do something. Cut to, ahem, ten minutes later and Sale was sent home for throwing a temper tantrum and cutting up all the throwback uniforms. The most surprising thing in this story: the White Sox clubhouse had a pair of lefty scissors. After Sale cut up the White Sox 1976 uniforms, Chet Lemon weighed in, saying, "It was a tough uniform to rock. The guys on the 1983 team thought they had a reviled uniform. At least in 1983, you could strut around like a peacock, which they called Paciorek'ing, due to the grace of teammate Tom Paciorek. In 1976, they dressed me up like a lawn jockey. That shizz was offensive!" For his antics, Chris Sale was suspended for five games by the White Sox. That's the last time he tries to introduce a cutter without talking to the pitching coach. Now, if the Red Sox trade for Sale, their top two starters could help win back the casual Jewish Red Sox fan who checked out after Youk and Theo left. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
I'm doing fine without games every day. Thanks for checking in on me. *nervous giggle, looks into the mirror, laughs hysterically* I'm just fine! The other day at 7 PM EST, I took a magic marker and every few minutes I wrote on my computer, giving my fantasy team a run, RBI and the occasional home run. Sadly, even with my fantasy fantasy team accruing stats, Chris Archer gave up four earned in six innings. Since there were no games this week and players haven't been able to get hot or cold or humid, this Buy/Sell is going to be slightly different. This Buy/Sell includes some players that are owned in more than 50% of leagues. Okay, that's not different for the Sells, but it does change the Buys. The other day on our podcast I asked JB if he knew the one and only white reggae artist, Snow, because he has a doppelganger on the Pirates, Ja-Snow, but JB didn't know Snow because JB was born in the 2000s. But I was also asked by him who is my biggest buy of the 2nd half. For that I said, "Um, well, I have to say, actually, actually, actually, my biggest buy is, uh, um, hmm." Spit it out, Grey! You know how your own voice sounds weird? I wonder if that holds up for the Movie Trailer Guy. Finally, I said David Price, who I will get to shortly. Yes, that was the worst intro ever to Michael Brantley. I was trying to squeeze Brantley into my top 100 for the 2nd half, then I was like, "Grey, you're handsome, smart and other words for those two traits. You'll find a way to squeeze in Brantley if you really think he belongs. Also, what are we having for lunch?" Salmon poke, but no dice on Brantley. At the end of the day, that day specifically, I decided Brantley's shoulder injury worries me too much for inclusion, but I'd still stash him on my DL or buy him crazysupercheap, which is also the price for the CrazySexyCool album on CD. "These things will never go out of style!" That's me spending thousands of dollars on CDs. For the 2nd half, Brantley's projections look like Yunel's 5 HRs, 4 SBs, .295, but maybe his last cortisone shot will take and he'll be his old self for six weeks to two months. For the price you can get him right now, it's worth it to find out. Anyway, here's some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
With Tyler Glasnow being called up, let's go over what we know so far about him. 1) In Triple-A, he had 113 Ks in only 96 IP. 2) He had a 1.78 ERA. 3) There's no C, since we're not even lettering these facts. D) And now we are lettering them, great! E) Glasnow enters to bagpipes and wears a kilt on the mound. F) This. I didn't get him in one single league! G) Money. H) His command in Triple-A was wonky as all get-out — 4.9 BB/9. I) could see some major blowups if he loses command of the strike zone. J) abba the Hut failed with the Cookie Diet. K) Glasnow likely won't pitch an entire season. L) M, N, O P Q) How many innings? Arrgh) Likely close to 50 IP S)o that's still into September. T) for two! U) The letter U looks like Jon Niese looking down. V) What a great show! Remake it, again! W) Should officially change its name to Dubya. X) Marks that one spot where the two lines intersect or the entire area of the X? Y) Cause. Z) Yes, I'd grab Glasnow in all leagues. Prospector Ralph even ranked Glasnow number two for all the 2nd half fantasy baseball prospects, so you know shizz is real. AA) My name is Grey Albright– Oh, we're done with the lettering. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Wade Davis hit the DL with a forearm strain. Brooks Pounders was called up in a corresponding move. Brooks Pounders is also my favorite AVN starlet. This sounds ominous for Davis, a forearm strain is not good for pitchers. A precursor for Tommy John surgery, they say. They also chew Copenhagen and call everyone kid. The one bright spot in this dark, gloomy sky is the backdating of the DL stint. Maybe, just maybe, Davis will return right after the All-Star break, when he's eligible. Yes, he could only miss seven games from now. That skywriter is trailing smoke behind him, writing, "Hope Davis." But maybe he ran out of fuel and was gonna write, "Hope Davis Will You Marry Me?" In Davis's place, Joakim Soria or Kelvin Herrera will replace him. Kelvin is much better, so why 'You must be Joakim' at all? That hard-to-quantify, harder even to justify outside of your own front office, closer experience. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Am I the only person who watched Helix and actually liked it? I mean, I never saw it on actual cable but caught up with the two seasons before they were cancelled and thought they were highly enjoyable for what they were. But most of all, it was the use of the music that nabbed me, right from the pilot episode. The intro drop is a great mix of 50s pop sounds mixed with modern synth sounds. It may only be 10 seconds but it really sets you up for the feel of the show. By that I mean they took a Burt Bacharach song sung by Dione Warwick and made it stick in my head and dammit, I'm gonna stick it into your noodle, too. Don't pervert that last sentence…but more back to why I'm yammering on about Helix was I'm of course referencing said song in my title about Ivan Nova and him facing the Padres. I see zero reason to pitch Nova in this scenario in cash – he is, in fact, not good at pitching – but in a points per dollar sort of way, I like the idea of rolling Ivan out there against a team that owns the second worst wRC+ against right handed pitching on the year, just above the Braves. Throw in the fourth highest K rate against said handedness and there's potential for 20 points here from a bottom of the barrel pitcher. But now that we've established the good, the cheap, and the ugly all at once, let's cover the rest of the slate. Here's my love, sweet love hot taeks for this Saturday DK slate…

Lately it seems like every television network is airing a new O.J. Simpson show. I really couldn't get into the People vs. O.J. Simpson. I just couldn't get passed the fact that Ross Gellar was playing his best friend. Actually, I didn't like Cuba Gooding or John Travolta either. The whole show felt about as fake as Bruce Jenner's right to take a dump in the women's bathroom. I haven't had a chance to watch ESPN's offering, so I can't really comment. Here's the deal. I think O.J. did it. Good old T.D. Parker is guilty. How ironic is it that a guy that hurts people used to be the face of Hertz. When he was acquitted, I remember hearing the phrase "The Juice is loose". I don't know if they had the death penalty in California, but I was pushing for "Juice the Juice!" Speaking of "the juice is loose", anyone else have a craving for Starbursts? Screw O.J. Simpson. I'd much rather talk about a guy that's hitting the cover off the ball.Please, blog, may I have some more?
On Saturday, Michael Conforto was demoted to the minors. Ouch. Not only did he fall far from preseason expectations, but he seemed to be breaking out in April. Coming out of April, he had 4 HRs and a .365 average. In May and June, he hit .169 and .119 and, finally, the Mets threw in the towel just as Conforto's head was bouncing on the canvas. Shame, isn't it? Not a shame, a product of not being able to hit. I'm sure he'll be back at some point, but you can drop him in all but the deepest dynasty leagues. In his place came, Brandon Nimmo. Okay, let's get them out of the way up front. The Mets are finding Nimmo in a sea of prospects. The Mets aren't finding Drury because he's on a different team. Is Nimmo the Mets' outfield fixar? That's a clown fish question, bro. Nimmo's minor league numbers look dynamite, but that's because he was playing in the PCL, which is like playing on the moon with an aluminum bat. He had five homers, five steals and a .331 average. That seems to be his profile more or let's be generous, maybe 10/15/.280. Sounds downright Lagaresque. Outside of deep mixed leagues and NL-Only, I'd ignore for now. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?

Rhonda Aikman is the ex wife of former Dallas Cowboys Quarterback and current Fox NFL commentator Troy Aikman, who has a net worth of $10 million. Rhonda Aikman met Troy when she was working as a publicist for the Cowboys organization and got married to the star athlete on April 8, 2000. Rhonda had a daughter from a previous marriage named Rachel Worthey and went on to have two more daughters with Troy, Jordan Ashley born in 2001 and Alexa Marie born in 2002. Rhonda stayed relatively outside the limelight during their marriage but that's about the change as she is set to become one of the stars of Bravo's newest reality series The Real Housewives of Dallas. Rhonda currently lives in a $1.5 million Dallas mansion that she bought in November 2011, three full months before their separation became official. Troy is now considered the most eligible bachelor in Dallas which makes for some tension in their new lives as single parents. It will be very interesting to see how it all plays out on TV!

Sunda Songby Evergreen Club Contemporary Gamelan
The Canadian-based Evergreen Club are dedicated to playing original music based on the pretexts of the Indonesian/West Java gamelan music of old. Yet they choose to play new contemporary compositions and mix in traditional works. As you would expect, the result is a rich, vibrant, lively, and living music that has deep spiritual roots, playing upon the wide timbral elements of the gongs, metallaphones, and percussion instruments they specialize in. The octet from Toronto is skilled in more stoic Western and classical disciplines, but play this music with great joy and enthusiasm. They have also been known to use their instrumentation to perform compositions of John Cage or James Tenney, and owe no small debt to the composer who reframed this sound with an American gamelan instrumentation, Lou Harrison. This music holds a consistency that in many ways supersedes strict traditional compositions. "Anjeun" (You) is likely the brightest and happiest, multi-layered piece, while the short, light number "Tina Jandela" (From the Window) and "Arang Arang" reflect the imagery of the cultural dance choreography that usually accompanies Indonesian music. "Jeruk Bali/Kunang Kunang" (Sweet Grapefruit/Fireflies) is as busy, interactive, dramatic, and mysterious as this music gets, while a contrary pacing between wood flute and metallaphones suspends time, wafting through "Sorban Palid" (Turban Floating Away). There's a distinct feeling of democracy here, as no one instrument dominates, save the percussion instruments during the driving "Kalangkang" (Illusion), or the mixing and matching of sounds showcased on the patient and drawn-out "Samagaha" (Solar Eclipse). The Evergreen Club have touched on something utterly beautiful, unique unto itself, and very respectful of tradition, but expanding the ancient music with their arrangements in a way that bears close examination and provides sheer, uplifting delight.
