Phil Mickelson failed to play in the EDS Byron Nelson pro-am but still teed it up today in the opening round of the tournament. Normally players are disqualified if they miss the pro-am. But we're told Phil had extenuating circumstances.
Bad weather prevented Mickelson's private jet from making the one-hour flight to Dallas on Tuesday, so Phil spent the night in Little Rock, Ark. Lefty had a 7 a.m. tee time on Wednesday. He didn't arrive until 11 a.m.
"Phil was prepared to play in the afternoon. It wasn't his decision not to play," Mickelson spokesman T.R. Reinman was quoted as saying.
PR at work.
Hold on. Phil did have lunch with the amateurs he was supposed to play with.
Nice try, but not good enough.
Well, I guess they should just be happy that Phil is in the field with so many other no-shows among the top players. Besides, pro-ams are torture.
Tell that to the amateurs who shelled out big money to have the golf experience of a lifetime playing with Phil Mickelson.
The PGA Tour decided Phil could play the tournament because bad weather didn't allow him to arrive in Dallas on Tuesday night. Stuart Appleby characterized it as a "very dodgy decision," wondering how hard Mickelson tried to arrive early on Wednesday. Appleby makes a valid point.
Lefty dogged it and the PGA Tour let him off the hook. That's where I sit.

Where I Sit: Lefty Dogged It

Yeah, you had to wonder why he couldn't rent a car and drive. Maybe after the way he's been driving the ball since the US Open, he thought he might not be able to keep the car between the lines on the road.
They let me off because most of the so called "stars" of the tour aren't there this week. It's good to hear the full story, which differs quite a bit from what I heard on TV. Thanks for clearing that up.

Altogether, it's big and smoky, with lots of iodine, but doesn't completely overwhelm, settling into a pleasing mix of toffee and peat.

text: Men's Lacrosse 3/3/2016 8:03:00 PM A Family Affair: The Bocklets Editor's note: There are several family ties throughout Major League Lacrosse's rich history. Starting with the Gaits and Powells and all the way through to the Leveilles, Spallinas and Untersteins, brothers have continued to compete with or against each other throughout adulthood. Today we take a look at Matt and Chris Bocklet and how the ultimately drive each other to be better both on and off the field. Flash back to Matt Bocklet's early collegiate days, and you would be sure to find his younger brother Chris on a wall nearby working on his stick-work. Chris was the eager younger brother who watched his older brothers, Mike and Matt, play in nearly every game they had growing up, from youth games, to high school games, and eventually to collegiate games at Fairfield and Johns Hopkins. "I think it was really cool seeing Chris grow up coming to all of my games, whether it was lacrosse or football, always watching, and then seeing him become the lacrosse player that he did," Matt reflects on his younger brother. Given the four-year gap between the brothers, their first time ever being on the same team in any sport was on the Denver Outlaws, who they both currently play for. After graduating from Johns Hopkins, Matt played his rookie season for the Chesapeake Bayhawks in 2008 and since then has played for the Outlaws. When Chris graduated from UVA, he joined his brother on the Outlaws for his rookie season in 2012. Growing up, Chris remembers the fun, competitive backyard games that he and his brothers would play, "We're creative people. There were little games that we made up like Gladiator and Raptor. We weren't big into playing video games and watching TV; we were just very active. My brothers would always let me battle with them and compete, and I think that it kind of helped me grow and also helped me become a better competitor just constantly playing with those guys." For the Bocklet brothers, their father was the first person to put a stick in their hands and start the process for them. Matt recalls the original purple Excalibur head that his dad gave him to use when they first started practicing passing and catching, before he really started playing on any teams or leagues. After seeing his dad introduce the sport to his older brothers, Chris was quickly hooked himself. "That's just kind of how it was being the younger brother. I looked up to them so much, and anything they did, I wanted to do as well. So as soon as they brought lacrosse sticks into the house, it wasn't a short time after that I got mine. I'd go to their practices and their games, and I'd just always have my stick." Being closer in age to Chris, Matt always challenged him in competitions, whether it was lacrosse, basketball, or even X-Box, which became a regular occurrence for the two when Matt was a senior in high school. "I think both of us are extremely competitive people. Whenever we play a game against each other, we both want to win. It's in good fun. There are definitely going to be some good laughs while we're playing, but when it comes down to winning the game, whatever it is, we both want to do it," Chris explains. Matt remembers their healthy competitive relationship growing up as well. "I ended up being the sole defensive guy, so it was always Mike and Chris against me in everything we did, and I helped Chris with 1v1's specifically for his lacrosse game." It is the dynamic the two brothers share that has helped them find success in becoming the talented players they are today. Despite the four-year age gap, Matt acknowledges the type of role he has played for Chris. "I think for Chris, seeing me go off and compete at the college level and then the professional level, it's just made it that much more real for him, that he could do that; that if he worked hard, he'd be able to do that at an even higher level that we played at." One highlight of the brothers' careers was their first game playing together against Ohio. The game was the first of Chris' rookie career and Matt's fourth year on the team. The two boys recall the game very similarly. The first half was relatively uneventful. Chris seemed to be going through the motions, a little nervous, trying to figure out the game while playing. At half time, Matt went up to him and said, "Chris, play your game, start shooting, or they'll find someone else that will." And, Matt continued to explain, "Chris just came out in the second half and scored 3 goals, and he definitely started being comfortable; started doing what he's good at." Chris remembers how nervous and uncomfortable he was at half time, but how impactful Matt's words were to give him the spark he needed in the second half. "Matt came up to me and said, 'Chris be confident in yourself, you can play here. Start taking shots; you're a shooter, start shooting.' When he says something, I listen. He's just been such a mentor. Having Matt in that moment, who not only was my brother, but an experienced MLL player, who wanted me to do well, was just huge." Needless to say, the brothers have benefitted tremendously from being on the same team. As Matt continues his consistent success, he is right there to support Chris as his successful career is only budding. "Not just on the field but off the field, Matt is huge for me as a player. He just takes his time to talk to me and give me advice constantly, and he'll push me to become a better player and to play harder. He just kind of has that captain mentality of playing the game," Chris remarks. Family First One of the greatest contributors to the Bocklet Brothers' success is the undeniable support they have from their family. Although Matt and Chris would battle in competition growing up, their older brother Mike and younger sister Casey were right there by their sides. Mike, who played at Fairfield University, also played that mentor role for Matt when it came to working on 1v1s and competing in the backyard. Despite the age difference between all of the Bocklet siblings, just because she was the youngest, that didn't stop Casey, who currently is a junior playing for University of Virginia, from joining right in on the outdoor activities with the boys. Both Matt and Chris agreed on the fact that, "she's a much better athlete than the rest of us. We're all good lacrosse players, but she's faster and stronger. Maybe it's something that growing up with three brothers kind of does that, but she was tough, and has developed into such a talented player." Another aspect of the strong family bond with the Bocklets is their family-run lacrosse camp called X10 Mountain Lacrosse Academy. The camp started a couple years ago in Massachusetts and now has locations in New York and Colorado. It is truly a family affair, with the camp directors being the Bocklets' parents, Barry and Terry, and all siblings being program directors. Chris explains that it is a "lacrosse camp that meets outdoor adventure. You're playing your different sports, your football, basketball, but you're also having fun outdoors. We have fishing, swimming, and tons of fun competitions. I feel like a lot of kids these days are so one-dimensional with just playing lacrosse. Honestly, I've learned to develop my lacrosse game through playing other sports and competing in different things, so this camp is a great mix of all that." "It's a well-rounded camp that lets people know that it's more about developing kids at that age where they're 10-15 and slowly becoming young adults," Matt agrees with his brother. From their brotherly connection on the field to their involvement with the community in the lacrosse world, the Bocklet duo has found success in building off of each other, and there is no denying that there is much more to come.

On July 24, 1979, Carl Yastrzemski hit his 400th career home run in a game against Oakland at Fenway Park. Six days later, the ballpark hosted its third all-star game featuring the Cape Cod Baseball League. In September, Yastrzemski reached another milestone in front of the Fenway Park crowd when he collected his 3,000th career hit and became the first player in American League history to notch 400 home runs and 3,000 hits in their career.
Record: 91-69, 3rd in American League East
Manager: Donald W. Zimmer
Attendance: 2,353,114
On March 9, 1979, Commissioner Bowie Kuhn notified teams that reporters, regardless of gender, should be treated equally. As a result, female reporters throughout baseball were given access to clubhouses.
For the third year in a row the Red Sox won more than 90 games under Don Zimmer but the Orioles won 102 games and Boston ended up 11½ games out of first.
Luis Tiant signed with the Yankees in free agency during the offseason, and Bill Lee was dealt to Montreal for second baseman Stan Papi, who hit .188 for Boston in 1979. Dennis Eckersley led the team in victories (17-10), along with Mike Torrez (16-13) and Bob Stanley (16-12 after being converted to the rotation).
Even with these subtractions on the pitching side, the Red Sox still had the Gold Dust Twins, Jim Rice and Fred Lynn. Rice batted .325 with 39 home runs and 130 RBIs and Lynn hit .333, drove in 122 and also had 39 homers. Rice and Lynn joined teammate Carl Yastrzemski as the three AL outfielders chosen to start the All-Star Game. Rice also became the only player in the history of Major League Baseball to have 200 or more hits and 35 or more home runs in three consecutive seasons.
In a 7-3 victory over Oakland at Fenway Park on July 24, Yastrzemski hit his 400th career home run. He then collected his 3,000th career base hit on September 12 in a home game against the Yankees. In the process, Yastrzemski became the first player in American League history to have both 3,000 hits and 400 home runs in a career.
On July 3, 1979, before the Red Sox game versus the Royals, a Pitch, Hit & Run competition took place at Fenway Park. The ballpark also hosted a pair of all-star games in 1979, including the Cape Cod Baseball League's third consecutive victory at Fenway Park over the Atlantic Coast Baseball League.

* From 1975 to 1987, on a biennial basis, Fenway Park hosted an all-star game between the Cape Code Baseball League and the Atlantic Collegiate League. The all-star game alternated between Fenway Park and sites closer to the ACL's teams, such as Yankee Stadium and Veterans Stadium. In 1988, the Cape Cod Baseball League returned to an intra-league format for their annual all-star game and in 2009, Cape Code League All-Stars returned to Fenway Park for the Cape Cod League All-Star Game, which was played again in 2010.

Finding six jurors and four alternates to rule whether George Zimmerman murdered Trayvon Martin or killed the unarmed Florida teenager in self-defense is likely going to take a while – for good reason.
Sixteen months after the death of Trayvon, a 17-year-old returning to his dad's house in Sanford, Fla., after buying a bag of Skittles, the trial of Mr. Zimmerman is forcing questions with which many Americans privately wrestle, including stereotyping of tough-looking young black men and attitudes about neighborhood security.
The same issues that divided America about the case – whether Zimmerman, who identifies as Hispanic, was a racially motivated vigilante or a responsible gun owner who got caught in an untenable situation while trying to safeguard a neighborhood against a crime wave – are now dogging the jury selection as the trial got under way Monday. As of Wednesday morning, 70 individuals in the 500-strong jury pool have been dismissed, and no juror has yet been seated. Expectations now are that jury selection could take two weeks.
Given the large amount of pretrial publicity, the challenge is to find a fair jury among a pool of residents likely to have already formed distinct, if subconscious, opinions about what happened in those murky moments when Zimmerman and Trayvon fought, and where someone emitted a shriek before a single bullet felled Trayvon.
The defense, jury experts say, is probably jockeying for a paradoxical kind of juror: an older, white person with a strong bent toward "law and order" – the same kind of person that, in another case, might look skeptically upon a man who fires a gun at an unarmed teenager. Florida's Seminole County is 66 percent white and 12 percent black.
Given broad concern in the black community about Trayvon's death and the local police department's initial failure to charge Zimmerman, prosecutors are likely to push for at least one or two African-American jurors, though jurors cannot be excused or retained solely on the basis of their race or ethnicity.
As the selection process continues, attorneys on both sides are trying to analyze potential jurors' attitudes toward government, guns, and self-defense, while probing about how and where jury candidates get their news.
"When you have this amount of pretrial publicity and a case where the community's reputation itself is involved, and you combine that with racial issues in the background – or foreground – you have the perfect storm for a difficult jury selection," says Jeffrey Abramson, a government and law professor at the University of Texas (UT), in Austin. "More important, though, than whether jurors are African-American, non-Hispanic white, or Hispanic are their starting attitudes about whether they think [the cit of] Sanford itself is under attack, whether they think there's too much crime, and what they would do if they saw a stranger in their neighborhood. These are predictive, I think, more than race or ethnicity."
A crucial concern for both sides is the prospect that a juror on a mission will slip through the vetting process and poison the verdict.
"The one real problem you have in situations like this is individuals with agendas," says Bob Dekle, a law professor at the University of Florida, in Gainesville. "They're savvy enough about the courts, they know what the correct answers are to get on the jury … [and then they exact] their own particular form of justice. If you get one juror like that, you're sunk."
So far, lawyers have considered potential jurors ranging from a Chicago transplant in her 30s who said she "really didn't know anything about the case," to a 65-year-old man who had read about recent legal arguments concerning whether voice-recognition testimony should be heard, and who noted, "There was fault on both sides, as far as I can see."
Research about the role of race on juries ranges widely. Some studies show that all-white juries convict black defendants at a greater rate than do mixed-race juries. But other studies have come to a more nuanced conclusion, namely that the greater the role of race in a defendant's case, the more vigilant juries become in not allowing race to become a factor in the verdict, according to Doug Keene, a jury consultant in Austin, Texas.
But UT's Mr. Abramson adds that research on racial attitudes involving Hispanics and blacks is scant compared with research on white and black juror attitudes.
The backdrop to the case – broader issues about profiling, gun laws, and how stereotypes play into neighborhood security – may be anathema to achieving what Mr. Dekle at UF calls a "semblance of justice" for Trayvon and Zimmerman. "The criminal trial system is not a vehicle for resolving sociological issues," says Dekle.
Yet trying to extract America's broader social problems from the facts at hand for the eventual Zimmerman jury will likely be impossible, complicating the task of attorneys on both sides as they continue Wednesday to winnow the jury pool toward a final panel.
The "doctrine of collective guilt and epidermal suspicions is what makes this case different…," argues Jelani Cobb in The New Yorker. "George Zimmerman is on trial, but so is a set of durable fears about black men in this society."

Bass with Herbed Rice and Coconut-Vegetable Chowder
Grilled Lamb Spiedini with Eggplant, Red Bell Pepper, and Arugula Salad
Fried Cauliflower with Saffron Yogurt and Lemon
Our criteria for the annual report on "America's Foodiest Town": Small (fewer than 250,000 people), quality farmers' markets, concerned farmers, dedicated food media, first-rate restaurants, talented food artisans, and a community of food lovers.
Boulder has won just about every shiny happy lifestyle award a city can: Healthiest, Most Educated, Most Bicycle-Friendly—the list goes on. And this year, it can add one more: Bon Appétit's Foodiest Town in America. It turns out that, along with having fit, smart, and eco-conscious citizens, Boulder is home to a number of innovative food companies (Celestial Seasonings, Izze Beverage Company, and Bhakti Chai), several top-tier restaurants, and one of the best farmers' markets in the country. This town of 103,000 about an hour's drive northwest of Denver is a bellwether of a changing food culture across our land. Nationwide, there's a new ethos, one based not on gluttony or excess but on moderation: Chef Jamie Oliver is trying to change school lunch programs, the "never trust a skinny chef" mantra is passé as top chefs slim down, and the first lady wants us to get fit. With all this in mind, I took my seldom-used running shoes and well-worn appetite to Boulder for a week's worth of pain (exercise) and pleasure (eating). I wanted to sample the place's much-lauded lifestyle and cuisine. And I wanted to road-test a rumor I'd heard from my fitter foodie friends: Does a burger really taste better after exercise?
Pain: one-hour bike ride around town; 35-minute run
Pleasure: speck, pâté, and Brie sandwich on baguette; prosciutto fritters; house-cured lomo*; three beers*
Something is wrong. Typically, the first thing I do when I arrive in a new town is make a beeline to my first meal. But instead I am astride a bike; rather than reading a menu I'm studying a map of more than 300 miles of bike lanes and multi-use paths. My self-imposed car ban—I'm opting to walk, run, and bicycle around town—suddenly seems doable. I pedal from my hotel to Dish Gourmet, a new-school deli that house-cures many of their meats. The Whittier sandwich (speck, pâté, Brie, apple chutney) makes a nice picnic along Boulder Creek Path, a seven-mile multi-use artery running from Valmont Reservoir westward to Boulder Canyon. It's the Broadway of Boulder. But instead of cars, you'll find joggers, cyclists, and other active folks. After letting my food digest, I join them for a jog.
You think a cold beer tastes good after mowing the lawn? Try chugging one after running at an altitude of 5,430 feet. A pint of Karma, a Belgian-style pale ale from Avery Brewing Company, goes down quick at The Kitchen, a bi-level restaurant known for its rustic, market-driven food.
Pain: two-mile hike; five-mile run
Pleasure: fava bean crostini, beet risotto cake, two pizzas; house-made mozzarella salad; pork bun, duck pancakes, fried brussels sprout leaves; three beers, two cocktails, one bottle of wine
When I wake, I'm not sure what hurts more: my calves from yesterday's run or my head from last night's beers. I blame the latter on the altitude. Less than hour later, I'm standing atop 6,863-foot Mt. Sanitas. In the distance I see the University of Colorado campus, and beyond, the skyscrapers of Denver. After a lunch of beer and a vegetable tasting plate that includes roasted asparagus and sugar snap peas at eco-bistro Salt, I'm feeling energized. This feeling lasts until a few hours later, about 15 minutes into a grueling trail run with marathon runner Bobby Stuckey, co-owner and head sommelier of Boulder's best restaurant, Frasca Food and Wine. Stuckey says that the main reason he and chef/co-owner Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson settled on Boulder for their restaurant, inspired by Italy's Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, was for the quality of life. "If we had chosen San Francisco or New York, both of us would probably be burned-out," says Stuckey. "Here we're able to do what we do at a higher level and for a longer time because we have a more balanced approach. If I skip one day of exercise, I can feel it and people can see it—just ask my staff." He talks about the supportive Boulder community and the availability of top-notch ingredients from local farms. I have more questions to ask him, but I have to stop and walk. Finally, a pint of Left Hand Brewing Company lager and a few pizzas (one with house-made sausage and mozzarella and another with seasonal local potatoes and goat cheese) from Pizzeria Basta come to the rescue. Some recoup with a massage, I prefer wood-fired pizza.
Pain: 2.6-mile hike; 45-minute mountain bike ride
Pleasure: roast chicken with french fries; Colorado lamb ragù risotto; frico caldo
On a steep hike up Gregory Canyon Trail, I take it slow, but by the time I finish, my legs still feel like Jell-O. It doesn't help that on my ascent I am passed by a gent I'm guessing isn't a day younger than 70. For lunch, I have one of Boulder's most iconic dishes, local Wisdom's Natural Poultry chicken with fresh tarragon, beurre fondue, and house-cut fries. It's simple, but at Mateo, native son chef/co-owner Matthew Jansen does magical things to the bird: The skin is ultra-crispy and the meat runs with juices—could it be the altitude? I'd happily run five miles, sore calves and all, for a lunch like this again. After some organic rooibos tea at The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse, I meet up with Frasca's private events manager, Cristin Napier. She is taking me mountain biking with three of her girlfriends, who are all former pro athletes. At one point, after barreling down a rock-filled path and nearly crashing twice, I have to get off my bike and walk it up a hill. But that night, by the time I finish my Ginger's Lost Island cocktail prepared by Frasca's then bar manager (and professional trail runner) Bryan Dayton, I have recovered. In fact, I am riding pretty high—all the exercise is making me feel good. Or perhaps it's the grilled Wagyu beef sirloin with fingerling potatoes.
Pain: 30 minutes lap swimming; 45-minute run
Pleasure: sprout salad; crispy Colorado bass; fried cauliflower, fried chicken, fried scallions with aioli; green tea Pimm's
After laps at the pool at the luxurious St Julien Hotel & Spa, it is time for the most dreaded exercise of my visit—a trip to a vegetarian restaurant. Leaf, a Boulder favorite, is packed at lunch with everyday folks eating things like bibimbap and seitan Reuben sandwiches. My sprout salad is as good as any salad I can remember. After lunch I go for a run. I'll admit it—I've been bitten by the exercise bug. Apart from a few aches and pains, I am feeling better than I have since college. The more I exercise, the more I can eat—I've found my new food mantra. That night, I hook up with Jake Rosenbarger and his wife, Kim, at Café Aion. I'd met Jake a few days before at The Kitchen, where he's a manager. Rail-thin, Jake is a 32-year-old retired professional cyclist who originally moved to Boulder for the same reason so many other athletes do: to train at altitude. We chat about his just-opened Kim & Jake's Cakes, which specializes in cocktail cake flavors like Dark and Stormy and Derby Julep. When I ask him how a former pro cyclist gets into baking, he explains how many calories bike racing burns—tons. The three of us polish off a small-plates smorgasbord including fried cauliflower, fried chicken wings and drumsticks, house-cured bacalao, and foie gras tourchon. We finish off the night at The Bitter Bar, a cocktail nook inside an Asian-inspired spot called Happy, where I have a memorable green tea Pimm's made with Charbay green tea vodka and muddled citrus.
Pain: three-mile hike/run
Pleasure: ohitashi (spinach, bonito flakes in chilled tempura sauce), sea urchin, sushi; asparagus flan; pasta alla chitarra with shrimp, sweet corn, and Swiss chard; Kampachi crudo
And on the fifth day, I rest—sort of. I ride to Chautauqua Park for one last relaxing hike. Apparently, many elite marathon coaches are Japanese and, well, they need a place to eat. Sushi Tora, just off Pearl Street, has fish flown in weekly from Japan's Tsukiji Market. After two hours, three bottles of wine—split with a local friend—and aji (horse mackerel), ko ika (young squid), and kinmedai (goldeneye snapper), I am beginning to think that Boulder's good food spots are almost as plentiful as its elite athletes. I take a leisurely ride around town, just enough to work up an appetite for dinner at Frasca. The signature frico caldo is a hash brown on steroids, made from potatoes, onions, and Montasio cheese. Judging from the dishes I eat at Frasca over the course of a week—Chef Mackinnon-Patterson also excels at pasta, slow-cooked meat, and Colorado lamb—I can only assume that when the Frasca team's two new ventures (a pizza spot and a café) open in November, they will become a couple of the country's best.
Pain: 45-minute run
Pleasure: vegetable dumplings; bacon and blue cheese burger; local beer
On my final day I join what seems like the entire city in their routine—a morning jog with friends followed by a visit to the Boulder County Farmers' Market. I recognize the purveyors from restaurant menus: Cure Organic Farm, Hazel Dell Mushrooms, Red Wagon Organic Farm, and Wisdom's Natural Poultry. Hungry, I head over to Sisters' Pantry dumpling stand for their steamed and griddled crispy garden vegetable dumplings. There's only one more thing to do before setting out for the airport. At Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery on Pearl Street, I finally get my burger—a bacon blue cheese one paired with Colorado Kind Ale. So, I ask myself, Does a burger taste better after exercise? Yes—at least in Boulder it does.

There are more applications available on Facebook every day. People, gamers or not, are playing Farmville or City of Eternals during class, at work, and at home. This vast audience has made Facebook a platform the Big Guys believe is worthy of investment.
The past year has seen companies like Namco Bandai, Ubisoft, and Electronic Arts devoting various resources to the social networking site. Of course, most companies have fan pages on Facebook—allowing them to keep in touch with gamers about new releases—but several developers and publishers are taking their commitment one step further and creating divisions solely devoted to the social networking behemoth.
Getting involved in different ways
The biggest investment, of course, seems to have come from EA. The publisher got a lot of attention last year when it acquired social network game developer Playfish. EA was willing to spend almost $300 million (and possibly pay another $100 million if performance milestones were met) on games for Facebook and MySpace; but the news was dampened when it was revealed that the company was willing to cut approximately 1,500 jobs from other departments to do so.
While Playfish was the force behind popular title Pet Society, EA hasn't had much to show for its sizable expenditure yet. That said, it was recently revealed that the company has plans to create a Facebook-friendly version of its Madden football games.
Meanwhile, Namco Bandai has taken an approach that has a lot of appeal for both the company and its consumers. The publisher has published free-to-play demos of several classic games on Facebook; gamers can then purchase copies of the titles and have them downloaded to their phones via the site. It's a unique plan, but one that took a fair amount of work to accomplish.
Creating such a setup wasn't too hard for devices like the Droid and iPhone, but making it compatible with non-smartphones was a bit of a challenge. "There was no actual assistance from Facebook in the development of our solution for the feature phones," said Rob Schoeppe, senior director of production and deployment at Namco. "So there were some technical hurdles we had to overcome to get it to actually work on those devices. There was a little bit of work and a bit of difficulty, but ultimately we feel we were able to provide a great user experience."
Of course, this isn't Namco's only plan for Facebook. Schoeppe confirmed that the company will use the site for tie-in apps with future game releases, but couldn't comment on specific plans for that or new IP that the Namco wants to launch.
Ubisoft, meanwhile, is quietly beginning the process of establishing its presence with Facebook. Over the summer, the publisher unveiled TickTock, a trivia game that quizzes users on friends' status updates. Ubi is taking things slowly because it plans to create quality games and tie-ins in the future.
According to Ubisoft producer Omar Abdelwahed, the company doesn't want to pump out Facebook apps until they manage to score a hit. "We measure success in our quality of games," he said in an interview with Ars. "We don't have our Farmville... we're not doing the typical model of social games; we're interested in which mechanics will make really awesome games that we can translate to our core brands."
An attractive market
It isn't surprising that so many companies are getting involved with Facebook. The site's population of close to 400 million users is certainly a powerful motive to start creating content that's compatible with the website.
"You can't ignore the hundreds of millions on facebook," Abdelwahed observed when he was asked about why the site appeals to publishers.
Facebook definitely has a much larger user base than game companies even dreamed of accessing in the past. Case in point: the newly-released Facebook MMORPG City of Eternals, which launched last week, had roughly 40,000 players participating in its private alpha build before the game officially went live.
Ohai's vampire-themed MMO—which is admittedly a great deal of fun—allows players to engage in a fast-paced action story involving a civil war amidst a number of undead houses. For those of us who see no appeal in strategy games like Farmville of Mafia Wars, it's a welcome alternative that plays like a cross between Diablo and World of Warcraft.
The game was built over the past year, and seems like a great demonstration of just how versatile titles can be when implemented on Facebook. Ohai's CEO, Susan Wu, explained that the company plans to put out multiple MMOs each year, and Facebook is an ideal platform for such a business plan because games on the site can implement all of a user's account information and won't force them to spend hours figuring out how they want to make their characters look and play.
However, Wu admitted that—in spite of what a fan she is of using the site to house games like City of Eternals—it can be challenging to create an application that is exclusive for Facebook. This is mainly due to the constant updates made to the website. "You never know what's going to change and how it's going to affect your game. You're almost captive to Facebook's rules and regulations," she explained. "The basic issue is that with using their system, there's an inherent amount of volatility that makes it difficult to figure out what your [development road map] looks like with great certainty."
Where's the profit when the product is free?
How does one turn a profit when there isn't a physical product to sell? For Namco, the answer is obvious: Facebook serves as a demo center that allows gamers to try, and then buy, the mobile versions of some of the company's best-known games.
Ubisoft, meanwhile, plans to use microtransactions to fund its Facebook presence. "We're interested in microtransactions on virtual goods," said Abdelwahed. "If you look at any of the research out there, virtual goods are the path to a good revenue model. That said, this has to come after a really great game. We're gonna do a high-quality game first." Electronic Arts, meanwhile, has yet to reveal an official plan for upcoming games/applications or revenue generation, but it seems safe to assume that the publisher will follow a similar path as Ubisoft.
Ultimately, though, Facebook is providing game companies with a unique opportunity to connect with a vast audience of users that they might never have had access to before. Whether or not putting out casual games on the site will prove profitable enough for long-term implementation remains to be seen. However, the immediate appeal is that Facebook allows publishers "to reach people who were previously unattainable," according to Schoeppe. "It's wide open for us, to tap into everyone."

Pictured: Max Perlman
Jacksonville, Ala. – The Harvard baseball team succumbed to defensive lapses in its 2011 season opener as the Crimson suffered a doubleheader sweep at the hands of Jacksonville State. JSU won the opener, 6-1, before coming back for an 8-4 win in the nightcap. The teams continue their four-game series with single games on Saturday and Sunday, weather pending.
Harvard (0-2) committed late-inning errors that led to three-run frames in each game while also stranding double-digit runners in each contest as well. JSU improved to 5-3 on the season with the sweep.
In the opener, JSU opened a 3-1 game with three unearned runs in the seventh en route to the 6-1 win.
JSU got off to a good start as Coty Blanchard took the first pitch he saw from Max Perlman (0-1) over the left field wall for a home run. He then led off the third with a single and eventually came around to score on an RBI groundout.
Harvard, which left six runners on base through the first five innings and eight through six, scratched for a run in the fourth as Jake McGuiggan lofted a sacrifice fly in the fourth.
Despite the early homer, Perlman was on his game as he got four of the first five outs via strikeout, before JSU got its own unearned run in the fifth for a 3-1 lead. The senior righty finished his afternoon with six strikeouts in 5.2 innings against four hits and three walks.
Harvard's defense gave JSU the biggest scoring inning of the game as two errors led to three unearned runs against reliever Joey Novak, who was otherwise impressive with three strikeouts in 1.1 innings. Ben Sestanovich, who saw his first pitching work since 2009 due to arm troubles, added a scoreless inning of relief.
Harvard stranded 10 base runners in the game With Marcus Way (1-3, walk) and Kyle Larrow (1-2, walk) both reaching base twice.
In the nightcap, Harvard out-hit their hosts, 12-10, but JSU scored four unearned runs in the fifth and sixth innings to pull away for the win.
Harvard put up three runs in the first inning as Way drew a bases loaded walk and Andrew Hatch delivered a two-run single.
JSU got an unearned run back in the second before Hatch plated another run with a bases loaded infield single in the fourth for a 4-1 margin.
In the bottom of the third, JSU put together a pair of two-out RBI singles but a fourth run was cut down at the plate by Sam Franklin in left field to end the inning.
JSU took its first lead in the fifth as the Gamecocks parlayed a pair of leadoff doubles into two runs for a 5-4 lead. A critical two-out error in the sixth gave way to three more JSU runs for an 8-4 lead. The relievers took care of business the rest of the way as Will Keuper, Rob Wineski and Dan Berardo kept the Gamecocks in check the rest of the way.
Hatch led the offense with a 4-for-4 outing to go with a walk while Tyler Albright and Danny Moskovits each had a pair of hits. Harvard stranded 13 base runners in the game.
Brent Suter took the loss on the mound (0-1), allowing five runs (four earned) in 4.2 innings with four strikeouts against seven hits.

Third Day entertains at Rockies' Faith Day
Third Day's winning streak continues. In the Christian rock band's third Major League Baseball "Faith Day" appearance, it was the Rockies that cashed in on the good luck with a 3-2 victory Sunday over the Miami Marlins.
"We've done them for the Rangers' organization, and they started going to the playoffs," bassist Tai Anderson said of Faith Day. "This summer the Astros brought us in and they won a game, and it was just a momentous because they were struggling. And now the Rockies … . We have a good track record."
Before the concert, Anderson gave some insight into the Grammy Award-winning band's mission and one reason why "Faith Day" is important.
"It's that Bible verse: Let your light shine," Anderson said. "I think that it's important that we are out in the community. And as a band we see it in hard times and in times of tragedy, as Denver knows … . Faith is such a healing thing. It's something that people really rely on. And I think it's important to be there for the community to say, 'We care about you. We are all in this together.'"
After the game, Third Day took a makeshift stage on the third baseline and got the 24,000-plus fans who stayed after the game rocking with "Otherside." But on the next couple of songs, guitarist Mark Lee experienced technical difficulties with horrible feedback, as lead singer Mac Powell kept on belting out the vocals. It's a situation in which I've seen bands walk off stage, but Powell and his bandmates kept their cool, with Powell explaining that these makeshift stages make it difficult to get everything right in such a short time span. He even encouraged the fans to give the crew a hand as it figured out a solution.
After the crew got things fixed, Third Day took advantage of a bluebird Colorado day and entertained the crowd for more than an hour with such hit songs as "Revelation," "Children of God," "You Are So Good," and "Creed."
Third Day will be releasing a new CD, "Miracle," in the late fall. And Mac Powell is set to release a solo country project. For more on the new music, check out www.highernoteblog.com

My cartoons will sometimes combine seemingly unrelated news stories to emphasize a point. Last week's cartoon of disgruntled Hosni Mubarak and Art Johnson walking off into the sunset, cursing Facebook, is a perfect example. The fall of the Egyptian strongman and Palm Beach County schools superintendent occurred at the same time and had many similarities.
Johnson has only been labeled a tyrant by his worst detractors, but he and Mubarak were both quintessential autocrats in management style. Both loved to tout their military backgrounds as the key to running a tight ship, and both were known for having a well-established patronage network reaching far down into their organizations.
The United States government valued Mubarak as an ally because under his rule the largest Arab nation had been remarkably stable and was not hostile to Israel.
The School Board of Palm Beach County valued Johnson in much the same way. The largest county in Florida has faced growth and funding challenges for decades, but it became one of the highest-rated systems in the state under Johnson's leadership.
That's not to say that the board has always been his biggest fan. The Teflon Superintendent has been through one political scrape after another, but always came out on top.
I felt for sure he'd blown it when I did a Palm Beach Daily News cartoon on Feb. 16, 2003, about the cost of firing Amelia Ostrosky, principal of the Dreyfoos School of the Arts. Many parents and teachers fought to save her position and Johnson spent $425,000 on an investigation to back up his decision. The big bill came to light just in time for his performance evaluation, but the board still supported him.
So what finally brought these well-entrenched autocrats down? In this day and age of ubiquitous communications and social networking, top-down organizations are fast becoming dinosaurs. Social, political and even business initiatives will increasingly come from the ground up as the masses discover a collective voice that never existed before.
Those who, only months ago, scoffed at Time magazine's selection of facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg as the person of the year are forced to contemplate most of the Arab world in revolt. Facebook, Twitter and mobile text messaging have been the new enabling factor.
Autocrats are having a hard time coming to grips with this new reality — among them, Johnson and Mubarak. Both seemed confident that they would outlast the upheaval, until forced to face facts. Even then, they both pitched last minute offers to stay on, thinking they were indispensable.
The School Board and the Egyptian military saw the light and realized they had to jettison the autocrats, even if there was no contingency plan to replace them.
Governments, institutions and corporations had better start developing plans for a world where they can no longer simply dictate — because denial is not just a river in Egypt anymore.

Many celebrities have built their careers on their gorgeous hair, makeup and glowing skin. Many of them, together with their celebrity stylists, spill the scoop about the products that get them so gorgeous. Some have detailed beauty regimens while others have found a few easy secrets to make use of the beauty that they already have.
Celebrity Beauty Products
Skin care secrets
Heidi Klum – Heidi is known for her flawless style and especially for her flawless skin. Whether she is appearing on the red carpet or is snapped candidly while she is out shopping, her skin has a natural flawless glow. Celebrity stylists recommend using aerosolized tanner to get an even tan similar to hers. One of the best options currently available is by L'Oreal and can be found at drugstores nationwide. L'Oreal's aerosolized bronzer gives natural color without the orange tints. It also can be applied evenly without leaving streaks.
Lea Michele – Lea uses the DermaQuench Oxygen Treatment available at certain skin clinics in Los Angeles. Hyoluranate is used to fill in tiny lines in the face to make it look softer and younger. An at-home option is to use steam. Using a home humidifier or even just a pot of steaming water for five to ten minutes can help moisturize skin according to Kate Somerville who owns these Los Angeles clinics.
Kelly Rowland – Kelly uses products similar to Vaseline's Cocoa Butter Gel body moisturizer to achieve beautifully soft skin even in the middle of winter. Cocoa butter is a natural way of adding moisture to the skin. It also provides a barrier to keep the moisture in place.
Cameron Diaz – Cameron has proven that stars can have beautiful skin at any age. To do this, she protects her skin from premature aging by using a powdered sunscreen by Colorescience. This powder comes in two colors to match most skin types and it is waterproof.
Makeup secrets
Zooey Deschanel – Zooey looks fabulous in her new sitcom. Her makeup artist Jorjee Douglass shared her tricks. To provide the fresh glow on the cheeks, she used Nars Blush in a fresh peach color. She then used a coral color of lip liner and lip gloss to give an easy finish to the look. With a swipe of soft brown eye shadow, the star's look is complete.
Diane Kruger – Diane has a talent for looking classically gorgeous. Recently, she was spotted wearing a medium red shade of lipstick that matched her dress perfectly. Coordinating clothing with lip color is a new trend that is catching on quickly. To get Diane's look, one can try Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Certainly Red.
Mila Kunis – Mila's stylist, Tracey Levy, recently revealed how the actress manages to look well-rested even when traveling non-stop around the globe. The key is to use a creamy concealer such as the one by Bobbi Brown as well as a corrector stick such as that by Giorgio Armani. Using these can hide blemishes and brighten under eye circles and bags.
Eva Longoria – Eva uses Tarte's Mineral Powder Bronzer to give a glow to her already lustrous skin. Of course, bronzer is a much healthier alternative to tanning beds. Tarte sells bronzer in two shades that will coordinate well with most women's skin tones.
Hair care secrets
Heather Morris – Heather debuted gorgeously voluminous hair at this years Emmy's. Stylists revealed the secret to getting a luxurious updo. The key is to start with unwashed hair. This will provide extra texture. Next use a volumizing mousse such as Pantene Pro-V to lend even more lift. Part the hair horizontally from ear to ear and pin this section of hair up. Finally, separate the remaining hair into small sections and loosely pin them to the back of the head. Finish with an extra strong holding hairspray.
Vanessa Hudgens – Vanessa achieves an effortless pieced look to her flowing hair by using texturizing pomade. Garnier Fructis offers a budget-friendly option that provides texture without a greasy shine. The best options are those that are water-based.
Using these beauty tips will give skin a soft glow and hair beautiful shine. Anyone can take advantage of these tips directly from celebrity stylists and celebrities themselves. From budget-friendly bargains to department store brands, there are options for everyone.

Editor's Note: The following is an excerpt from a piece by NPR focusing on Elkhart, Ind., and its dashed hopes to become a center for electric vehicle production. However, things are looking up again in Elkhart as the RV industry – the longtime economic driver in the area – is seeing an uptick in sales. To read the entire article click here.
Elkhart, Ind., is known as the RV capital of the world. The city suffered badly when the recession hit, and demand for recreational vehicles all but screeched to a halt. That's when local and state leaders started looking for ways to bolster the area's manufacturing industry.
Eventually, the unemployment rate in the city along the Michigan border soared to 20% — the highest in the nation at the time.
Electric cars were supposed to help revive Elkhart's economy. President Obama visited twice, promising stimulus funds to spark a new economic engine in electric vehicles. Those jobs never materialized. But like other hard-hit factory towns in the Midwest, Elkhart is starting to improve. And its RV industry is leading the way.
A Car Factory With 2 Employees
From the outside, Elkhart's Think Electric Vehicle factory looks deserted. There isn't a single car in the parking lot; the doors are all locked; the windows are dark.
It's not until you wander all the way around to the back of the 200,000-square-foot facility that there is a sign of life: one door left slightly ajar. Inside, several dozen brightly colored tiny electric cars sit in neat rows.
"All these cars are finished," says Rodney Smith, plant supervisor for Think EV. Pointing at cars that are painted red, blue and black, he says, "They're all finished and ready to go; we could hop in one of these and go down the road right now."
There are about 120 of these road-ready models, called the Think City — a little two-seat fully electric coupe that has a range of about 100 miles before it needs to be recharged.
"It's fun to work on," Smith says of the City car. "They're good little cars. They run great."
But at the plant, there are 32 more cars that are not yet fully assembled, he says. They're waiting for parts to come in; as components arrive, Smith and another worker finish putting the cars together.
"That's currently what we're doing; we're just in a standby position," he says. "We're continuing to sell cars. We're continuing to produce cars. It's just the two of us that are here."
That's right — just two employees are working in this auto plant. At its peak, the plant employed 25 workers. Then two waves of layoffs dropped the payroll down to just two people. It's a far cry from the more than 400 people the Think company promised it would hire two years ago.
As Electrics Struggle, RVs Surge Anew
In the meantime, Mayor Moore and many others in Elkhart are heartened by a rebirth of sorts in the industry that some here thought might never bounce back: the RV business.
"Rumors of our demise have been greatly exaggerated," says Gregg Fore, president of Dicor Corp. Its companies supply components to RV manufacturers.
Fore says the industry's downturn was brutal, with business falling off close to 60%. But demand for RVs has come back strong, he says. Last year, the industry produced more than 250,000 RVs. That's 100,000 more units than the low-water mark in 2009.
"People forget the deep roots of our industry. They don't remember we've been here for as many years as we've been here — a hundred years," says Fore, who is also chairman of the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association.
Dicor's factories are once again humming — and hiring, he says. And Fore believes the market for motor homes, travel trailers, and campers is here to stay.
"People are still gonna enjoy the lake, their kids, their relatives, the other campers, their beer, their ballgames, their hot dogs," he says. "That's the way it's going to be."
The RV industry has learned some lessons from the deep recession, Fore says. Companies now offer more lower-cost models, as well as lightweight, fuel efficient and "green" RVs.
But one thing that hasn't changed, he says, is that the fortunes of Elkhart, and its 51,000 still lives or dies with the fortunes of the RV industry.
Just how reliant is this area on the RV industry? Consider this: Nearly half of all the jobs in Elkhart County are in manufacturing. In fact, no county in the country has a greater share of its jobs in manufacturing. And fully half of Elkhart County's manufacturing jobs are in making RVs and their parts.

Super Bowl XLVII: Baltimore Ravens Defeat San Francisco 49ers 34-31
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Ray Lewis will ride into retirement as a champion.
Baltimore's standout middle linebacker began his final night on the football field with a motivational speech to his teammates. He ended it looking upward into a shower of silver streamers and purple confetti after the Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 Sunday night to win the Super Bowl.
Standing tall in the middle of a defense that survived a frenzied comeback by Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers, Lewis put a lovely bow on his 17th NFL season by earning his second Super Bowl ring — 12 years after the first.
Lewis was the MVP of the Super Bowl when Baltimore beat the Giants.
On Sunday night, Lewis and his defense played a supporting role to Joe Flacco and the offense.

He's back ... unless he's not.
Phelps, the Baltimore native who retired with a lifetime 22 medals, 18 of them gold after the 2012 London Games, threw some water on the notion that spread after a blogger and a Florida television station said he was headed back to the pool.
"Why do I keep getting texts about coming back? Do [people] really believe everything they hear or read?" Phelps tweeted. "There are [too] many [people] in the world that think they have a 'story.'"
Still, everyone from fellow Olympic swimmers such as Janet Evans and Rowdy Gaines, the swimming press and Phelps fans filled Twitter celebrating the possible comeback.
Peter Busch of NBC2 in Fort Myers reported Friday that Phelps "had a change of heart" recently and would be training for the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro. The report's credence was helped by the fact that Busch's father, Frank, is the director of the U.S. national swim team.
Casey Barrett, of the Caps & Goggles blog, posted on Friday that "the upper reaches of the swimming world are swirling with the chatter" that Phelps is mounting a comeback. "The folks in-the-know, the top coaches and swimmers, the ones just a degree or two removed from Phelps himself, they're all talking about it," wrote the blogger, whose bio says he trained at North Baltimore Aquatic Club, competed for Canada in the butterfly and co-founded Imagine Swimming in New York.
Since his retirement, Phelps has been appearing on the reality show, The Haney Project, on the Golf Channel. His coach, Bob Bowman, has spent the past week at the Olympic Training Center working with other top-level swimmers, including Chase Kalisz of Fallston, who like Phelps trains at North Baltimore Aquatic Club. Bowman declined to comment.

Michael Shames, who departed the Utility Consumers' Action Network last year amid a federal investigation and internal charges of keeping secret bank accounts and accepting unauthorized bonuses, is now suing the nonprofit for libel.
Shames, who ran the ratepayer advocacy group for nearly three decades, filed the suit late last month against UCAN and its staff attorney, David Peffer.
"Plaintiff's reputation was harmed by the release of personal and unauthorized information and defendants' conduct was a substantial factor in causing plaintiff's harm," the complaint states.
In addition to libel, the lawsuit accuses UCAN and Peffer of wrongful termination, malicious prosecution, unauthorized computer use and access, conspiracy, invasion of privacy, breach of contract and other misdeeds.
Shames said in the suit that UCAN wrongly leaked information to the media and damaged his reputation, even as he worked to establish San Diego Consumers' Action Network — a new group to advocate for ratepayers of
"Beginning in June 2012, UCAN began a systematic process of defamining plaintiff with the objective of undermining his ability to complete the SDG&E rate cases or conduct any other advocacy on behalf of SDG&E customers before the Public Utilities Commission," the suit states.
The complaint also claims UCAN improperly accused Shames of conspiring with class-action lawyers to generate lawsuits that might eventually lead to payments to Shames.
The suit is the latest in a long-running saga involving UCAN, which began in the early 1980s as community group to fight rate hikes requested by SDG&E and other utilities. The group receives substantial funding from intervernor fees and other proceeds of its consumer actions.
In recent months, the organization has been through six different executives and seen a variety of people join and resign from the board of directors.
Donald Kelly, the Northern California lawyer who took over as UCAN executive director late last year, declined to comment on the suit.
UCAN has confronted a number of problems since 2011, when Peffer and co-worker Charles Langley approached the board of directors with concerns about Shames' management practices.
Peffer and Langley claimed that Shames controlled UCAN bank accounts with misspelled names like Utility Comsumers' Action Network, collected hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonuses without disclosing the payments on UCAN tax filings, accepted a $1 million donation to produce a film about China trade practices and was an inactive bar member for years while representing himself as a lawyer.
Shames denied doing anything improper and said an independent review of the charges provided no evidence of wrongdoing.
The Watchdog reported in November that $2 million UCAN received from a class-action settlement was supposed to stay in California for educational purposes, but instead $1 million was invested in an out-of-state hedge fund. The paper also reported in August that UCAN requested Shames return $474,000 in bonuses that were never approved by the board.
Both reports are cited in the lawsuit as examples of UCAN undermining Shames.
Former San Diego City Attorney Michael Aguirre, who represents Peffer, said he would vigorously defend his client. He also said the lawsuit would allow the truth to come out in court.
"Rather than being sued, this young man (Peffer) should be given an award for having the courage of his convictions," Aguirre said.
The lawsuit seeks punitive and other damages, although no specific amount of money is requested.
It also seeks 10 percent of a recent $50,239 payment UCAN received from SDG&E -- money Shames says he is due under the bonus program.
