Who will succeed Bob Bradley?
Updated: July 28, 2011, 9:07 PM ETBy Leander Schaerlaeckens | ESPN.com
U.S. national team coach Bob Bradley has been fired. The U.S. Soccer Federation is widely expected to announce a successor Friday.
So, with a little time to kill, we fired up our manual conjecture-generator to give you odds on the dozen (or maybe it's 13) favorite potential successors we could think of off the top of our heads.

2013 NFL Draft: Raiders open to trades for No. 3 pick
- Updated: April 24, 2013
The 2013 NFL draft class is believed to have quality NFL players throughout, however, there is not believed to be any superstars. When the best part about a draft is its depth, the only way to take advantage of that depth is to have as many picks as possible.
The Oakland Raiders currently hold the No. 3 overall pick in the draft and they would love to trade down and possibly secure a second round pick as well.
According to CSNbayarea.com, Raiders' general manager Reggie McKenzie has had conversations about the possibility of moving down from the No. 3 spot. "We're just feeling around right now," McKenzie said. "Nothing is concrete but…peripheral conversations."
The Raiders' have holes seemingly everywhere. This offseason they loss starting safety Michael Huff, linebacker Rolando McClain, veteran defensive lineman Richard Seymour, defensive end Desmond Bryant, defensive tackle Tommy Kelly, linebacker Philip Wheeler, wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, and quarterback Carson Palmer.
McKenzie realizes he has his hands full remaking the roster and trading back may help the process. The Raiders' loss their second round pick in the Palmer trade with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Right now, NFL.com latest mock draft has the Raiders selecting left tackle Eric Fisher out of Central Michigan. Scouts are high on Fisher because his is big and athletic for his size, but also because the last tackle out of Central Michigan was Joe Staley. Staley has been solid from day one since being drafted by the San Francisco 49ers.
The Raiders' more than likely are going to struggle to compete this upcoming season. With this draft they would like to begin to set a new foundation for the future of the organization. McKenzie is looking to build Green Bay Packers-West. The Packers have built their success through drafting quality players, developing them, and only signing low cost-high reward free agents.
Last season McKenzie was handcuffed by not having a selection until the 32nd pick in the third round. This season Raider Nation awaits with bated breath to see what direction the franchise is headed.

The Beacon
Day 4: Diving at Egmont Key
Here's your expedition update for today, from Oceana's senior campaign communications manager Dustin Cranor:
After nearly 30 hours in commute, we finally arrived to Tampa.
The crew took off early this morning on the Oceana Lat-Long, the Latitude's 28-foot tender, to dive at Egmont Key at the mouth of Tampa Bay. Egmont Key, a national wildlife refuge only accessible by boat, was home to Fort Dade during the Spanish-American war. Although this island was once capable of protecting our coasts from offshore invaders, it's no defense against oil.
Here's support diver Soledad Esnaola:
Soledad Esnaola Second Oceana Dive Operation Egmont Key from Oceana on Vimeo.
The divers once again faced far from ideal conditions. Underwater photographer Eduardo Sorensen said "I couldn't even see the seafloor from the boat in seven feet of water." Local river runoff and strong currents left the divers with little visibility, but it didn't stop them from getting some great shots of a hermit crab, sponges, mackerel and other small fish.
The expedition also said goodbye to three crew members today, Oceana's vice president for Belize Audrey Matura-Shepherd, network and systems manager David Bahm and spokesperson Almudena Fernandez. We will pick up additional crew members in Venice, Louisiana, later this week to take part in a whale shark tagging operation.
We will now sail all night in order to reach the next diving location approximately 100 miles away.

Blackstone Group LP and KKR & Co are among the buyout firms vying for the company.
NEW YORK - Blackstone Group LP (BX.N) and KKR & Co LP (KKR.N) are among the buyout firms vying for Brickman Group Holdings Inc, the largest U.S. commercial landscaping company up for sale for around $1.5 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.
TPG Capital LP and CVC Capital Partners Ltd are also participating in the auction for Brickman, which is now in its final stages, the sources said this week, asking not to be identified because the sale process is confidential.
Leonard Green & Partners LP, a Los Angeles-based, private equity firm, has asked Barclays Plc (BARC.L) and Morgan Stanley (MS.N) to run an auction for Brickman, people familiar with the matter told Reuters in August.
Neither Leonard Green nor Brickman responded to requests for comments. Blackstone, TPG and CVC declined to comment while a KKR spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Gary Dean Miller
Gary Dean Miller, beloved husband,
father, grandfather, brother, uncle and great uncle, passed away peacefully in his sleep on May 21, 2013. Gary was an extremely loving, steadfast, hard-working, fun-loving leader in his family and he will be deeply missed. Born Jan 19, 1951 to William (Bill) and Arlene Miller in Seattle, Gary's family moved to Federal Way in 1958. Gary graduated from Federal Way High School in 1969 and joined the
U.S. Navy
that summer. He served his four years on aircraft carriers during the
Vietnam War
. In 1996 Gary met and courted the love of his life, Lois, and they married in 1998. They recently celebrated their 15th anniversary. They enjoyed boating, traveling, movies and just being together. Lois, her daughter Tammy, her husband Brent and eventually their children Riley, Jordan and Braiden became the loving family Gary treasured above all else. Gary worked for Mutual Materials and became a highly critical employee, as one of very few people in the country qualified to be a brick kiln operator. Gary's employer of 38 years recently closed their brick manufacturing plant. Because Gary was so experienced and trusted, he was the last remaining employee on-site for many months, responsible for all on-site operations until their shut-down. Gary enjoyed researching genealogy with his mother. He was an avid golfer and bowler with his father and his uncle, Dean. Bill, Dean and Gary spent many years building homes, furniture and good memories for everyone in the Miller family. More recently, Gary enjoyed woodworking, gardening and spending time with his extended beloved family. During 2012 Gary became very active with the
, which he considered to be a great honor. Gary was preceded in death by his father, Bill, his mother, Arlene, and his uncle, Dean. He is survived by his wife Lois, his stepdaughter Tammy Covington and her husband Brent, his sister Connie Boyle, his sister Robyn Bennett and her husband Jack, his grandsons Riley, Jordan and Braiden, three nieces, one nephew and five grand nieces and nephews.
Family and friends are invited to Acacia Funeral Home, 14951 Bothell Way NE, Seattle, 98155 on Wednesday, May 29th, with viewing beginning at 9:00 a.m. and the service at 2:00 p.m. Please visit the web site
and select Gary D. Miller to view pictures of Gary and to post comments.

Summer of Corruption: Rangel to face ethics charges
I'm not going to get my hopes up given the Democrat foxes guarding the henHouse, but it looks like Charlie Rangel may finally get his comeuppance.
Via the Washington Post:
The House ethics committee is preparing to conduct what to amounts to a trial for former House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.).
The committee has concluded that Rangel violated House ethics rules and will release a public statement of violation next week.
It has been eight years since the U.S. House of Representatives conducted a similar review — that of former Rep. Jim Trafficant, who was later expelled. The decision on Rangel is based on an 18-month investigation into Rangel's conduct as a member of Congress and how he may have used his House position to influence his private business.
Over/under on who'll play the race card first?
Flashback October 2009: Maxine Waters: "Many members" are as sleazy as my friend Charlie Rangel; Update: House Dems move to quash Remove Rangel resolution, 243-156
Will Rangel tell his House colleagues conducting the trial to "mind their own goddamned business?"

I've spied many a curious eye looking back at me underwater. Here are 19 fishes, three octopuses, three squid, two rays, a scallop, a seahorse, a shark and a shrimp. Thirty-one belong to marine species, one lives in freshwater. See how many species you can recognise.

|South Florida's Leavitt signs contract extension through 2014
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 10 March 2008 14:14
Leavitt started the Bulls' program from scratch 11 seasons ago and led the team into the national spotlight in 2007, when USF climbed as high as No. 2 in the nation and finished the most successful season in school history with an appearance in the Sun Bowl.
``What his leadership has accomplished is unmatched in the country with regards to beginning and developing a nationally recognized football program,'' athletic director Doug Woolard said.
The new contract boosts his salary to $1.5 million next season, up from the $1 million he was scheduled to earn under terms of a seven-year, $7 million contract he signed in 2006.
The Tampa Tribune reported on its Web site that the new deal will pay Leavitt $12.6 million over the next seven seasons, with his annual salary increasing by $100,000 each year of the contract.
Leavitt, who in the past has turned down opportunities to coach at Alabama and Kansas State, is 79-47 in 11 seasons. The Bulls finished 9-4 last year, when attendance climbed a nation-best 22,948 per game to 53,170.

Gherkin cucumbers are available summer into fall.
Current Facts
The Watermelon gherkin, scientific name Melothria scabra, is a thin delicate climbing and trailing vine grown for its edible fruit. It is an heirloom variety rediscovered, thus in an effort to popularize the fruit, several seed companies have coined new names, including Cucamelon, Sandia de Raton, Mouse melon, Mexican Sour gherkin, Cuka-nut and, in France, Concombre à Confire (preserving cucumber).
Watermelon gherkins are thumbnail-sized, oblong-shaped and appropriately, have the appearance of a miniature watermelon. Their coloring a variegation of lime green and off white. The texture is crunchy, succulent and crisp with the flavor of cucumbers and tart citrus.
The Watermelon gherkin is perfectly suited to eat fresh, out of the hand. It makes incredible pickles and can be added to salsas for unique texture and flavor. You can also save the seeds from the ripest fruits and plant them again for future crops. Watermelon gherkins pair well with tomatoes, chiles, citrus, pickling spices, garlic, fennel, watermelon, honeydew melon, pork belly, roasted and grilled white fish, yogurt, young mellow cheeses, cilantro and mint.
Ethnic/Cultural Info
The melon's most common name in Spanish is "sandíta" (little watermelon). In Mexico and Central America, the Mexican gherkin fruit is often used in nonculinary ways, including in medicine.
There is quite a bit of argument as to where the Watermelon gherkin belongs by botanical classification, especially because its wild ancestors are native to Africa. Research, though, has found that it is native to Central and South America. The Watermelon gherkin has been a staple of Mexican and Central American diets since pre-Columbian times, hence it has collected several names in indigenous languages. The Watermelon gherkin is both drought and pest resistant, it is a vigorous grower, creating prolific yields and it reseeds itself freely. Fruits will simply fall off the vine when ripe.

She's delighted with the find, of course: "Isn't that just wonderful? It's wonderful to be a part of it. And the most exciting thing is that this is the earliest of [Patrick Troughton] that we've got.
"It means we have two episodes of 'The Underwater Menace' now, so it might be brought out on DVD, which would be wonderful. What I'm very happy about is that it includes the bit which I've always wanted to see, where I say 'You're not turning me into a fish!'"
And she's a confirmed Whovian too: "I recently read a very lovely quote from Matt Smith – 'What makes a good Doctor? Patrick Troughton.' And I thought that was lovely."
And seeing as we're all still giddy from the find, why not end on another clip, this time from the William Hartnell episode Air Lock, from the story Galaxy 4.

BLOOMINGTON - Leo graduate and former Indiana distance runner Andy Bayer signed a contract with Nike and will begin training in Oregon soon.
The 12-time All-American officially signed with the shoe company after reaching an agreement Thursday.
"It's great to finally get this finished," Bayer said. "It's been a long time of kind of being in this limbo."
Bayer holds the IU records in the mile, 1,500- and 3,000-meter runs.
His 3:52.90 in the mile in July during the Sainsbury's Anniversary Games in London set the record time for an Indiana native in the event, as well as the Hoosiers' all-time mark.
Now, the Leo grad who was unheralded and unknown is a professional runner.
"I never really expected this," he said. "It's just a blessing, and it's pretty cool. It definitely wasn't something that coming into high school or coming into college I was expecting at all."
Bayer plans to marry fellow former IU distance runner Chelsea Blanchard on Oct. 12 in Fort Wayne. The couple will then move to Portland.
"My fiancé and I have kind of been hoping to get it done," he said. "We didn't know where we were gonna live or what we were gonna do, and I had to kind of put her life on hold."
Now, the two are preparing for a future in Portland, where Bayer will train on a daily basis with top-flight competition and be under the tutelage of Jerry Schumacher, one of the best U.S. distance running coaches.
The 2016 Olympics are a realistic goal if Bayer can continue to grow the way he did from high school to college. He will begin preparing for national and international competitions as soon as he gets to Portland.
The Nike sponsorship gives Bayer a chance to build on the sudden success that's followed him since his senior season at Leo.
"That was kind of the thought going into this: What's going to give me the best chance to make the Olympic teams, the World Championships teams," Bayer said. "I had a good summer this summer in Europe, but to be at the top or competing for medals and everything at the World Championships, the Olympics, you have to make another step forward."

Planetary Annihilation Goes Round and Round October 16, 2014Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, Other PC Games.
Tags: General Confusion, Not Really a Review, Planetary Annihilation, Supreme Commander, Total Annihilation
1 comment so far
The biggest mistake the devil ever made was agreeing to play God, one on one, on an eight player Total Annihilation map.
-Commander Söze
In the beginning there was Total Annihilation.
This was not the first RTS game I played, but it was the first of what I consider the three great games of the RTS genre.
The other two are StarCraft and Age of Empires II – The Age of Kings.
There have been other good… even very good… titles in the genre. But for me, these are the crown jewels that defined the genre.
StarCraft showed that very different factions could be brought together to form an almost zen-like rock/paper/scissors balance that required serious unit management skills to excel at.
Age of Kings brought that sort of balance to medieval armies, advancing at a slower pace. It reflected the real world aspect of cavalry vs. infantry vs. ranged, with siege engines in tow, forcing players to adopt a combined arms strategy to survive and win.
But before those two there was Total Annihilation, which brought chaos and mass slaughter.
TA wasn't balance. The ARM ruled the early game with the Flash tank and the Peewee rush. Cavedog eventually had to give the CORE a unit whose only purpose was to kill Flash tanks and Peewee kbots.
It had a pretty bad, or at least not a very creative, single player campaign. Resources were simplistic, just power and metal. The UI was somewhat primitive compared to its contemporaries.
It was a resource hog that needed a couple of generations of CPU upgrades before it would run smoothly. The music was literally in the standard CD format, you could pop the game disk into your boom box and listed to the sound track.
And yet it was wonderful, a synthesis of a number of ideas put together in just such a way as to make a great game. Probably one of the greatest things the game did was make terrain matter in new and interesting way. Maps were 3D and heights could give you range in shooting or something to hide behind when fire was incoming. And then there was the whole modability aspect of the game.
Probably the greatest testament to TA is the fact that, while Cavedog Entertainment has been dead and gone for nearly a decade and a half, Total Annihilation still has a pretty strong and dedicated community still supporting it. You can still buy a copy over at GoG.com, and it runs great on today's machines.
Its main problem is that it was designed when multiplayer meant friends on a LAN, so being able to play over the internet requires effort. You need some network know-how or something like Game Ranger to help you out. So the idea of bringing the game into the 21st century is a compelling one.
More after the cut because of wordiness.
The Passing of Another Steam Summer Sale July 1, 2014Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment.

14 comments
Another Steam Summer Sale has come and gone.
As others have noted, its regularity… and the fact that we get a Holiday sale in December… has taken some of the edge off of the whole thing. Seeing a whole pile of games marked down was a huge deal the first couple of times we saw it. Now, however, we have come to expect it.
Such sales have changed my behavior some. If there is a game I have to have right away, I still buy it right there and then… unless the sale is around the corner. Steam screwed me on that last year. I bought the Brave New World expansion for Civilization V the day it launched, despite the summer sale coming up. And then two days later the Summer Sale launched and the expansion was marked down, a gaffe that even Steam realized might have been a discount too soon.
So maybe I won't pre-order anything that will launch close to the sales zones any more, but otherwise my behavior on must-haves has not changed.
But for things I am not sure about, games that are not "must have" but merely nice to have… the Steam sales process has changed my behavior quite a bit. My wish list is now filled with things that I "sorta" want, if the price is right, and I am in a good mood. The impulse buy aspect of Steam sales has been replaced by watching my wish list. I look at what is on sale that day, then look at my wish list, ponder if anything is "must have" at their current price, and then move on, generally without buying anything.
This year I did end up buying a couple of games. One was for the strategy group "next game" plan that I wrote about last week, and which makes a good example of how Steam has influenced me.
While we had a list of potential games, Total War: Rome II was the primary contender, backed by Loghound. (I had other suggestions, but I wasn't sold on any of them.) A not-too-old release, it still has a list price of $59.99, the current benchmark price for AAA games from major studios. As the summer sale was already in progress, it was marked down to half off. $29.98 wasn't a bad price. There is a whole lot of game there.
But Steam has taught me to always wait until the REAL DEAL has been offered. So while Rome II was the prime candidate, nobody moved to purchase it until Friday, because it wasn't until Friday that the REAL DEAL kicked in and the price dropped to $20.37. At that price it was an easy purchase and all of us picked up a copy. So that is the tentative next game for the group, once we finish up our Civ V game (at some point in August by my guess) and if it turns out to be suitable. A quick look shows a battle style that gives you a budget to buy units in advance, so I suspect this could mean long lead times before we actually play. But the single player campaign looks to be worth the investment, so even if we don't play it much, it was probably worth the money with the deep discount.
So there it is. Our next game has been chosen.
I did have two impulse purchases, one of which was Europa Universalis IV, as it had been marked down to $9.99. It has been on my wish list since it launched, so I am not sure if it is really an "impulse" buy, but I grabbed it. It is one of those games… like its predecessors… that I really want to like, but which is so complicated and so deep that I can never get into it and actually play. I spend most of my time trying to figure out how to do simple things, which quickly becomes frustrating. I have no reason to suspect that this will be any different.
The other was Ticket to Ride, which I already own on the iPad. I should have just stuck with that. The iPad version is the game as it should be played and as it should look and perform. The Windows version is slow, graphically inferior, and prone to buffering mouse clicks as you wait for it to catch up, leading to many a mis-played moment. I regret this purchase and I could not recommend this on Steam even at its very low sale price.
And, in a sale related matter that isn't really about Valve or Steam, I was just a tiny bit annoyed to see Planetary Annihilation early access up on the list of things on sale… or even available at all. I backed their kickstarter, but not at a level high enough to get early access yet. I get a finished copy and that is all, but I actually paid more for that than the early access sale, which also gets you a full copy. And Uber Entertainment, the studio behind the title, hasn't been the best about communication when it comes to actual progress towards release, they are a year late at this point, and they are out there hawking early access at retail. I realize early access is basically a retail pre-order, but it still makes me think, "Dude, remember me? I gave you money nearly two years ago?" Just the nature of Kickstarter projects I guess.
And then there was the contest.
In order to spice things up… and get people to spend more money… Valve put everybody on teams and set us against each other for the possibility of getting something for nothing… assuming you didn't buy anything for this gimmick. Clockwork over at Out of Beta covers the whole thing better than I, I just want to grouse about the level of exclusion.
Anybody who wanted to participate got dropped onto one of the five color teams. However, to actually do anything to help your team, you had to be level 10, at least as far as I could tell. So despite years of Steam usage and owning over 100 games, I wasn't able to play because I was only level 7.
While that was up from where I stood last year, it still wasn't enough.
The problem is… well one of the problems I suppose… is that I purchased most of my library before they got into the whole levels thing. And one of the prime ways you earn points to level up is based on how much money you spend, so most of my purchases didn't count. The other problem is that I am not inclined to spend money just to level myself up on Steam. But that probably excluded me from the Summer Adventure thing anyway, as Clockwork pegs the whole thing as a pay to win affair.
And, on the annoying front, one of the ways I could have earned a few badges and points was by voting on the content of upcoming sales. Only you must be level 8 to earn anything by voting, so once again Steam failed to engage me by imposing what looks to be an arbitrary level limit on rewards. Bleh.
So, the score for the event.
- Purchases at the lowest possible price as Steam has trained us: 1
- Impulse purchases: 2
- Engagement in sale related events: 0
- Games on Steam I haven't even played yet: too many
Maybe I will be the "right" level for whatever event Steam has planned by the time the Holiday Sale comes around.
Defense Grid Kickstarter Success January 29, 2013Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, Other PC Games.

The buzz around Kickstarter seems to ebb and flow.
When there is a Kickstarter going around something that gets you excited, it can seem like a great way for supports to get involved in a way that helps the development process.
And then there is the reality.
There was an article a couple months back (that I wish I could find) which reported the results of a study of Kickstarter projects and found that not only do most projects not get funded (which one would expect given the quality of a lot of the pitches), but that a large percentage of those that do fund subsequently fail to deliver anything (call it "take the money and run"), fail to get even close to their projected timeline (everything takes longer than you think), or deliver something that does not match what was promised in the initial pitch.
Now some of projects in the study seemed to be stuck in a category without considering mitigating factors. The Steve Jackson Games O.G.R.E. Designer's Edition project has been delayed because they asked for $20,000 and ended up with nearly a million, so they actually expanded the scope of the project so that the end result will be even better that they had initially planned. But that has pushed out the timeline, so it appears on the "failure due to missed dates" list despite keeping backers fully appraised of the project status with regular updates.
(And I cannot emphasize how important updates are for such projects.)
In my own case, of the four projects I supported that actually made their funding goal (out of eight total) two appear to be stuck in the failed project timeline dimension.
Now, in one case, I know what is going on. The Jason Scott documentary three pack, which I first mentioned way back in September of 2011, has been delayed because of his Internet Archive work and because he got paid to do another documentary ahead of the ones funded on Kickstarter. I cannot say that the latter makes me very happy, but the documentary is being made available for free, so if you squint your eyes and look at things with your head turned sideways, it seems like maybe we're getting a fourth documentary as part of the deal. Plus the other three are under way and I consider them getting made to be more important than me getting my copies in a timely manner.
On the flip side, there is a book I helped fund that has gone to the editors and hasn't been heard from since. Such is life.
And then there is Planetary Annihilation, which I pitched in on because they invoked the name of Total Annihilation, one of two RTS games I still drag out and play to this day. (The other is Age of Empires: The Age of Kings, which I wish would get a screen resolution update and appear on Steam or GOG.com.) But this project has no real set timeline and, frankly, I have been burned before by people invoking the TA lineage. Supreme Commander was not at all satisfying to me, and so I stand ready to be disappointed again.
But amidst all of this "someday" level of hope, the fourth Kickstarter on my list delivered. The new content for Defense Grid: The Awakening arrived last week. As a supporter I already had my key and had access to pre-release versions of the new content, though I did not spend much time with them. I wanted to experience them as finished product.
The product is now finished.
It showed up a little late. The target was initially December. But progress updates were frequent and if you entered the Steam key you got as a supporter, you could see the new levels evolving from raw layouts to fully formed encounters. And once it was done, Steam updated you to the final version.
So I now have what I really wanted; more levels for my favorite tower defense game.
Appropriately enough, here is the first achievement for the Containment DLC for Defense Grid: The Awakening:
I am off to conquer the new levels in their various modes.
Now if Hidden Path can just get funding for their Defense Grid 2 project. They did not reach that level of funding as part of their Kickstarter and so must seek the money via more traditional channels.

Halo Wars, Ensemble Studios founder Tony Goodman has told GamesIndustry.biz. Goodman noted that the game that became Halo Wars originally had nothing to do with Halo at all, but Microsoft felt that a strategy game would have a better chance of succeeding on its console with the Halo branding. The shift put the game "back about a year in development, and I think it never quite turned out the same," he said. Microsoft had assumed, according to Goodman, that the studio could simply "paint over" what it had already created with Halo characters, vehicles and environments.
Furthermore, Goodman added that the entire project never sat well with Bungie, the studio that created Halo in the first place. "Another problem was that Bungie was never up for it," he said, recalling that the studio considered Halo Wars a "whoring out" of its franchise.
Halo Wars became the last game that Ensemble Studios would ever produce, with the developer's former staff offering different accounts as to why it went under. The game went on to break a million in sales, and the staff went on to form several new studios, including Goodman's Robot Entertainment, which took stewardship of Halo Wars and went on to create both Hero Academy and Orcs Must Die. Goodman recently left Robot to form new mobile studio PeopleFun.
