April 27, 2010 / 12:03 PM / in 8 years

Salesforce.com, VMware unveil joint cloud service

* Lets programmers write software using Java language

* Preview of the service to launch in second half of 2010

* Companies do not disclose pricing, terms of partnership

BOSTON, April 27 (Reuters) - Software makers Salesforce.com Inc (CRM.N) and VMware Inc (VMW.N) said they will develop a hosted service that companies can use to write and run custom applications via the Web.

The two are joining forces to gain a foothold in the small but rapidly growing area of cloud computing. Rivals include Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O), Google Inc (GOOG.O), International Business Machines Corp (IBM.N) and Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O).

The new system, dubbed VMforce, will run on Java, the world’s most commonly used programming language for business applications. More than 6 million developers create programs using Java.

    Salesforce already hosts a similar “cloud computing” product, dubbed Force.com, but programmers need to learn a proprietary language to write software that runs on that system.

    The companies declined to disclose pricing or provide financial details of their partnership. They said a preview version of the service will be available in the second half of this year.

    Salesforce.com is the world’s biggest provider of software delivered via the Web. VMware is the top maker of virtualization programs, which allow companies to boost the efficiency of computer hardware by running multiple virtual machines on a single piece of equipment.

WATCH: Milk protesters hit Harrogate ASDA

Share this article

This is the moment that farmers took part in a trolley dash protest at Asda in Harrogate.

Young farmers fed up with the falling price of milk filled three trolleys with bottles of milk which came to just £170, before handing out free pints to shocked shoppers.

Farmers son 15-year-old Charlie Britton took part in the protest. He is the fourth generation of his family to be involved in dairy farming near Ripon.

He said: “As I have got older I have realised how bad it is.

“A lot of people were asking ‘what is the point in buying from the supermarket to give it away?’ but we wanted to bring attention to the problem.

“We spoke to lots of shoppers and people said they were shocked, lots of people said they would pay more, it was a successful event.”

He added: “£170 for three trolley loads, you can’t even buy water for cheaper, nothing is a as cheap as that. When there was more money, us farmers weren’t keeping it and going off on holidays, we were investing it in the farm to improve the standard of living for the cows.”

One Harrogate dairy farmer, who did not take part in the protest said the industry is at ‘rock bottom’

Second generation Nidderdale farmer David Smith said: “At least we hope this is rock bottom and we can only go up from here.”

In January the 66-year-old, former president of the Nidderdale Agricultural Society (NAS) who still farms 120 dairy cows at Shepherd Lodge near Brimham Rocks told the Advertiser that ‘farmers couldn’t take much more.’

Today (August 8) he said: “Things have gotten worse, for dairy farmers it is the worst it has ever been.

“It is a global problem at the moment, the supermarkets are in a price war and it is us farmers it is affecting.

“We could do with shoppers at least looking for the red tractor to buy British dairy goods.”

Farmers’ unions are today holding crisis talks with the four main unions, the National Farmers’ Union, NFU Cymru, NFU Scotland and the Ulster Farmers Union, meeting for an emergency summit in London.

7 Tips For Making The Final College Choice

Final College Decision
Decision Day (May 1st) is almost here and with acceptances and financial aid packages in hand, it’s time for many high school seniors to make their final college decision. Choosing where they will go to college is a critical decision. As parents, it’s important to give guidance and support to help them make the best college decision. Some may feel this is a decision your child should make on their own, but at 18 were you ready to make a decision with a potential financial impact of $200,000 or more? Instead, consider this is a critical time to teach your child how to weigh the pros/cons of each school and work together to make the best college decision that fits academically, socially, and financially.

So, if your child’s final college choice is right around the corner, consider the following tips to help them select a college that’s best for them.

  1. Compare Costs

Once a student has received their acceptance letter, or two or three from several different universities, your first step should be to analyze and compare costs. Hopefully some of this work was done before applications were even submitted, but regardless, at this point there’s no time left to avoid understanding the net price of each school.

When reviewing financial aid offers, make sure to understand how much is “free” money, work study, federal student loans, and parent loans. Create a chart to compare the amounts. Unfortunately, you may find schools determine “financial need” differently and some schools offer differing amounts of grants/loans to meet the level of need they choose. You can try appealing to the financial aid office to increase your offer or match an offer from another school. From now till commitment deposits are due, you have the most leverage for negotiating a better financial aid package. Colleges are concerned about their yield (how many students decide to attend after being accepted) and may be more flexible with their money. If you don’t ask, you’ll never know.

Remember to project forward for the next 4 years to estimate what the final loans may be upon graduation. Use loan repayment calculators to get an idea of how much the loan payments will be after graduation. You should also research if any of the colleges have a tendency to “front-load” financial aid. This happens when colleges offer higher financial aid to freshman to get them to enroll and less money to upperclassman in the remaining years. Factoring in financial aid offers and other financing options is essential to avoid excessive debt after graduation. Comparing these costs could weigh heavily on the final college decision made.

  1. Visit the school in person

Admitted student programs provide an excellent opportunity for your child to explore the campus they intend on spending the next 4 years at. From interacting with other students, to attending classes, these programs provide a real feel for the educational opportunities available through the university. Even if there aren’t any of these types of programs, make plans to visit schools your student is considering, especially if you have never visited before. And in some cases, making a return visit can also help in the decision making process. While visiting, speak with current students and investigate where students spend most of their time studying or just socializing – this will give your student an inside look at the school. Making the best college decision involves all factors, so it’s important to investigate these aspects as well.

More on what you need to know about accepted student day.

  1. Choose a school with plenty of options for majors

Students rarely stick with the major they choose in their first year of college, so it’s important to research how many other majors your student may be interested in and if they are offered at the schools he/she is considering. When it comes time for them to change their major, will they have plenty of additional options at the school? Selecting a university that provides several potential majors is one way to help make sure your student graduates from school within 4 years.

  1. Consider your student’s personality to make a decision

Many people overlook their child’s personality when helping them make the final college choice. Does your student do better in smaller or larger classes? What about their studying preferences? Do they need more quiet time or do they function well in a more social environment? Guide your student through these questions and help them see their importance when making this decision.

  1. Research if credits will transfer to college

Some students may already have college level credits from high school. It’s a good idea to ask the school which credits will transfer, and which ones they will likely have to retake. Some schools accept AP or other college level credits and apply these credits towards tuition. More often though, schools give the student credit to take classes beginning at a higher level. Depending on the school’s policy, there may be the chance to use these credits to help graduate early (and save money), double major, or just provide more academic flexibility when your student chooses classes. Understanding a school’s policy on transfer and AP credits may play a factor in your student making their final college choice – gather all the information you can.

  1. Ask around

If your child is still having doubts about any of the schools he/she was accepted to, see it they can find current students to talk with. Suggest they ask their high school for the names of past students that are currently attending any of these schools. As a parent, ask friends and/or go online to local parent groups to ask other parents if they know of current students who have gone to any of the schools. Often, getting a personal viewpoint is far more valuable than anything you can find on paper. Asking for honest guidance might reveal new points they hadn’t thought of before.

  1. Don’t forget about Extracurricular Activities

Sports, clubs, and fraternities are important to consider as well. While education and financial aspects are critical, extracurricular activities are important for building talents that can be used down the road. Programs like theses help students explore their talents and discover what they really love. Look for a college that represents your child’s sports interests or talents so that the door is always open for them.

Your student should be at the center of make this final college decision. After all, it is their future and happiness at stake. However, as a parent you can help guide them in the right direction. Making the best college decision involves factoring personal, financial, social, and educationally preferences. Use this information to consider the most important factors in your student’s final college choice.

2018 minor rule revisions are currently being finalized and will be posted by March 1st 2018

Changes from the 2016 Rules Outlined Here

Kickball League of Rochester

  • RULE #1: The “Let’s Have Fun” Rule. Because kickball is rooted back to our childhood, KLOR’s goal is to provide a fun filled atmosphere for all of its members – So, let’s have fun!
  • RULE #2: Support your sponsors. They’re supporting your enjoyment, so show them some love!
  • RULE #3: Meet new people, network, make friends, and hopefully find a soul mate.
  • RULE #4: Be respectful of Kickball League of Rochester officials, players, and the park.
  • RULE #5: Relax, unwind, and kick a ball around.
  • RULE #6: Monroe County Park Law and Monroe County Alcohol Policy apply at all times.
  • RULE #7: Challenges are part of game play and their usage is outlined further in the rules.

Gentleman’s rules apply for all games. KLOR refers to a gentleman as a person (regardless of gender) with good manners and high standards of behavior. They are expected to act as moral guides to the rest of society (their teammates, other players, and officials). They have the capacity to mingle on equal terms in good society. Moreover, it involves a good standard of courteous conduct by treating others in a respectful manner and not taking advantage of others by pushing them into doing things they choose not to do.

In the absence of a referee, games may take place between two teams, cooperating in a gentleman-like manner, utilizing sound knowledge of the current set of rules while maintaining equal fairness for both teams. Both team captains should act as the standing expert on rules, while upholding a level of play that includes a fun and friendly atmosphere.

The KLOR kickball field is laid out as a square with the bases approximately 60 feet apart. The pitcher’s mound is located in the center of this square, approximately halfway between home and 2nd as well as half way between 1st and 3rd. (Fig. 01)

The “Neutral Zone” is the area described as a straight line from each side of the pitching rubber, ending at the 45ft mark down the 1st and 3rd baselines and ending at home.

KLOR kickball fields are generally set up and played in the outfields of or adjacent to installed dirt fields. However, due to field availability or field conditions, KLOR reserves the right to shift back to the traditional dirt field and marked accordingly.

The “outfield” will start roughly 15 feet past 1st, 2nd, & 3rd bases.

The 1st base line runs between the white base and the orange safety base.

The Overthrow Line (See "DEAD BALL") runs parallel to the 1st and 3rd bases line up to the backstop. If a backstop is not present on the field, this is laid out 15ft parallel behind home plate and 15 feet outside the 1st and 3rd base line and is usually marked with cones. The Overthrow Line only doubles as an “OUT OF PLAY” line in instances where a fielded ball has been thrown or deflected.

All movable "FOREIGN OBJECTS" (spectators, pets, sidelined players, coolers, tables, etc...) are to be 15ft behind the 1st and 3rd base lines (behind the Overthrow Line).

Base coaches (if desired) must be participating members of the kicking team. Base coaches at 2nd and home are not allowed. Base coaches can stand halfway between the base and the Overthrow Line. Base coaches can be no closer than halfway when the ball is kicked, when a play is in motion, and until all play has stopped.

Any runner physically touched or assisted by a base coach during play motion will be out and the individual in the base coach position will not be allowed to base coach for the remainder of the game. Play resumes until the play motion ends under normal conditions.

Grass fields are laid out with a minimum of 140 feet of clear space from home plate to the outfield. As fields could have hazards in the outfield beginning at or beyond this layout, a ball that is kicked, thrown, deflected, or otherwise travels into a hazard or hazardous area; will be called a DEAD BALL. All runners will receive the base they are advancing to, with a minimum of a GROUND RULE DOUBLE for the kicker.

Hazards and foreign objects can include but are not limited to pets or other animals, players from other fields, trees, bushes, spectators, steep hills, ditches, fences, walkways, tents, canopies, water slides, water spigots, grills, goalposts, playing children, etc.

Teams have no maximum size, but a minimum of 8 players is required to begin and continue play.

In the event that a player injury or a player ejection occurs and the total fielding team count drops below the minimum number of players, the game will continue. In all other instances, the result will be a forfeit unless the game has progressed past 5 innings; where the current score will stand as the final score.

No more than 10 players can take the field at a time.

The gender requirements for teams are as follows:

  • Teams with 8 players must field a minimum of 2 females at all times*
  • Teams with 9 players must field a minimum of 3 females at all times.
  • Teams with 10 players must field a minimum of 4 females at all times.
  • No more than 6 males may play in the field at a time.

*In playoff and championship games, all teams must have 3 females in the field at all times.

Teams must field a pitcher and catcher during game play.

Any team having less than 8 players and/or less than 2 females 15 minutes beyond of the start of the game, as determined by the regular season schedule, will forfeit the game.

No team can be forced to play an official game after the 15 minute leeway time, unless delayed due to a team currently playing a playoff or championship game. No team is required to wait for missing players playing in a game outside of the scheduled game.

The opposing team will receive the average number of runs (rounded down) of the past two games (or the closest two games, if it is the start of the season) as the score of the game. If neither team can fulfill this obligation, they will both be asked forfeit that game with a score of 0 to 0. In the event that a team wins by forfeit and the team has not scored any or minimal runs in their previous two games, the average of 0 will increase to an average of 1 run for the recorded score.

All fielders must be in the kicking lineup/rotation and all kickers must also be a fielder at least once during game play. Any players that have not participated as a fielding team member must do so when they take the field in the 4th inning.

The kicking order for males cannot be rearranged once the game has begun.

The kicking order for females cannot be rearranged once the game has begun.

No more than 2 males can kick in row, at any point, in a KLOR game.

If it has been determined that this number has been exceeded, the kicking team will receive the number of outs that males has been exceeded by. If the exceeding males are still on base, they will be removed from their bases and any advancement of previous base runners will return to their original bases.

The kicking order for females must cycle in full, at least once, before the kicking order for males can cycle again.

The cyclical kicking order(s) cannot be rearranged throughout the game.

Late arrivals will always be placed at the bottom of their respective gender’s kicking order.

Injuries to a kicker, runner, or fielder, and/or late arrivals may require an alteration of the kicking order to satisfy general kicking order requirements. If alteration is not required, alteration is not allowed.

Rearranging the gender orders is not allowed. If you expect a late arrival, be conscious of your line up arrangement/rotation to help deter any game delays associated with determining the shifting up of or down of players in the line up.

Exceeding the male kicking limit and/or kicking out of order will be determined when contact is first made with the ball by the incorrect kicker, not when a ball has been pitched, regardless of any accrued pitching strikes.

If determined, including before kicking contact has been made; any accrued pitched or whiffing strikes when the incorrect kicker was ready at the plate will transfer to the correct kicker.

Late arrivals cannot join or rotate with fielders until the end of or change of sides in an inning.

Players that arrive late cannot be added as fielders or to the end of the kicking rotation after the start of the 4th inning. Players must arrive by the start of the 4th inning to be eligible to play.

A kicking lineup for the game must be written, printed, etched, scratched, taped, typed, and or saved and readily available upon request from the referee and or opposing captain in the event the kicking order needs to be verified at any point during a game.

If a prewritten lineup cannot be produced for lineup verification, the kicking team will take an out.

After the out, a lineup will need to be created before the game can resume. Refusal to provide a lineup after that point will be grounds for forfeiture.

Ghost runners are not allowed, as only physical runners can score.

If an offensive player, currently on base, is due up to kick then that player will leave their base vacant and return home to begin the next play. Any other runners on base will not be allowed to advance.

In the event that a base runner is injured, a pinch runner of the same gender can be used when the play has stopped. The injured player will not be allowed to participate for the remainder of the game in any position. This is to prevent an injured player from receiving additional injury.

Only team captains may dispute calls in a civil manner with the referee or combined with the other captain.

Team captains are responsible for verifying the final score at the end of the game. Any inaccuracies of scores or standings should be directed by the team captains to

Away team kicks first.

An “OUT” is indicated as one of the following:

  • A total combination of 3 strikes and/or foul balls.
  • When a base runner is struck by the ball while not on an appropriate base.
  • When a fielder catches a ball that has not touched the ground first.*
  • When a fielder possesses the ball and touches a base before the runner, when the runner is forced to reach that base by forward progress of other runners or from leaving early before being tagged up. This is also known as a “force out”, as there is no other base that the runner can advance/return to.**
  • A violation of other rules described within, when the result is described as an out.

*An incoming ball cannot be a trapped against the ground for an out. A caught fly ball or must be kept cleanly off the ground to secure an out.

**In a force out situation, a fielder touching the base must be cleanly possessing the ball off the ground to secure the out, however a ball in possession can be secured against the base itself. Existing base runners maintain ownership of their base until they have fully exited, but can be tagged out while on that base once they are figuratively bumper-carred off due to a forced incoming runner who secures ownership of their appropriate base.

A completed inning consists of 3 outs for each kicking team. Runners that cross home plate will not score if the 3rd out is a “force out”.

Games are official at the end of the 5th inning (or middle of the 5th if the home team leads.)

There is a 10 run mercy rule enforced at the end of the 5th inning and any end of inning thereafter (or middle of the 5th if the home team leads by 10). When enforced, the game is automatically over and the team in the lead wins (when they have exactly 10 more runs than the other team). The inning does not finish out when enforced if the home team leads. The mercy rule applies to all versions of KLOR kickball, however games can continue for fun when time/daylight permits and both teams agree to continue playing.

Games are scheduled to last for either 7 innings, until the next game is scheduled, or when daylight runs out; whichever comes first.

Extra Innings are not guaranteed.

If no clear winner has been determined after 7 innings, officials can grant extra innings (but not required) within the scheduled time slot. Both captains must agree to extra inning play during the regular season. Extra inning play ends when the away team leads at the end of an extra inning or as soon as the home team takes the lead in the bottom half of an extra inning.

If available time runs out in extra innings, and no clear winner has been determined, the final score will be a tie. However, if both team captains choose not to accept a tie, there can be a final "CHALLENGE"; thus adding one point to the winning team’s final score and determining an official winner. Both captains must mutually agree on the type of “CHALLENGE”.

Officials have the capacity to end a game at the top of an inning if it becomes apparent that a full inning cannot be completed (due to weather, darkness, allotted time, or etc.). If a game is required to end in the middle of an inning due to these factors, the partially completed inning will not be counted.

All games will be called on account of darkness 15 minutes after the official time of sunset on the Friday for all games during that week. The sunset time for all weeks in 2017 will be posted here: Sunset Time

The make-up schedule for any cancelled or unofficial games will usually be announced the following business day via the KLOR website.

If there is a cancelled or unofficial game that cannot be made up by the end of the regular season, each team will receive the average number of runs of their previous two games from the date of the originally scheduled game (or the next two games if it was the start of the season), as the score of the game. The resulting winner of this game will be dependent on this score calculation.

Each player must be 21 years of age or older to play in KLOR.

All players must sign and agree to the waiver form, for their team, before their first game each season.

Any clothing, costume, and related accessories on a player when the ball is kicked will be considered part of the player and is eligible to be played for an “OUT” during the game. A player’s hair, hat, helmet, and or head accessories will be considered part of the players head and follows all other rules of hitting in the head as described hereafter.

Acceptable kickball attire for players currently on the field during the regular season must include either a current season matching KLOR issued kickball T-shirt, matching KLOR hat, or a tasteful costume.

A current season and matching KLOR issued kickball T-shirt or hat is required for all players currently on or off the field participating in playoff or championship games.

Players may not use metal spikes or kick with any footwear that may excessively damage the kickball, the field equipment, or cause bodily harm to themselves or other players.

Each player is responsible for his/her own actions both on and off the field and may incur disciplinary actions as a result of unsportsmanlike conduct. This includes but is not limited to warnings, suspensions, or permanent expulsion of players or entire teams from the remainder of the game, the season, or the league from repetitive complaints and/or degree of incident(s).

Play motion continues until one of the following calls has been made by the referee:

  • “TIME”
  • “STRIKE”
  • “FOUL”
  • “OUT” (only on the 3rd out)

All referees, 1st and 3rd base coaches inside the Overthrow Line, the inside of the backstop, and/or any beverage container on the field that is hit by the ball is considered "IN-PLAY" and play motion will continue as normal.

"DEAD BALL" is called to stop all play motion. Runners can only advance to the base that they are advancing to, unless the call brings the kicker back to the plate or gets the kicker out.

The runner at 1st base will be awarded 2nd base if an overthrow is towards them and or across the Overthrow Line area by 1st base.

The runner at 1st base will not be awarded 2nd base if the overthrow is across any other area of the field, unless the 1st base runner has crossed the Aggressive Movement Plane, which suggests that the runner is making a turn to or attempt at 2nd.

Runners in “DEAD BALL” scenarios caused by an overthrow, who are returning to a base have already owned and advanced, constituting an advancement motion; unless forced back to the base for a tag up. Base advancement on an overthrown tag up play can only be allowed of the tagged up player secures the tag and again leaves the base in the proper direction before the ball passes the overthrow line.

"DEAD BALL" will be called if a ball is thrown, kicked, or deflected into any "FOREIGN OBJECT"

"DEAD BALL" will be called if a ball is thrown at or deflected off a runner and travels 15ft past the base line.

"DEAD BALL" will be called if a ball is thrown to or deflected off another fielder to make a play and travels 15ft past the base line. Conversely, if a kicked ball lands fair behind 1st/3rd bases then rolls, spins, or travels on its own past the overthrow line, the ball will stay alive until it either touches a foreign object or approaches a hazard/hazardous area.

If a fielder intentionally throws, kicks, or deflects a ball 15ft past the baseline, or at a "FOREIGN OBJECT", with the goal of stopping play motion, that fielder will be considered to be displaying “UNSPORTSMANLIKE BEHAVIOR”. In this scenario, the ball will be called a "DEAD BALL" and all base runners will advance to home.

Fielders also assume the risk of all runners automatically advancing to home if they choose to kick or drop-kick a fielded ball from the outfield that they are fielding and the ball accidentally goes past the Overthrow Line.

If an overthrow is into the outfield and stays in play, the runners may keep advancing until play motion has ended and “TIME" has been called.

"TIME" will be called when a defense player is in control of the ball in fair territory within the infield and no offense players are in motion. In this scenario, if a stalled runner is not on the base when "TIME" has been called, they will return to the base they touched last as the defense has stopped all play motion advancement.

Balls must be pitched underhand.

Pitchers must pitch from the designated pitching base and/or currently outlined pitching area.

A pitcher is allowed one step in front of the pitching area/base during their pitch, but the pitcher may not advance any further forward until the ball has been kicked.

A pitched ball where a kick attempt has been made will be called a “STRIKE”. This is commonly referred to as a “whiff”.

Acceptably pitched balls where the diameter of the ball crosses over any part of the plate where a kick was not attempted will be a STRIKE.

Acceptable pitches can be reasonably paced, slow, and/or easy to kick.

Unacceptable pitches are considered fast and/or aggressive.

Pitched balls that bounce more than 6 inches above home plate, as measured from the bottom of the ball will be considered BOUNCY, and unless a kick attempt has been made, will not be considered for a strike.

The strike zone includes approximately 8.5 inches on each side of the plate and approximately 6 inches above the plate. (Fig.02)

Warnings will be given to pitchers if pitching is aggressive, out of control, and/or out of line with the ability of the player at the plate. This is a determination made by the official. Repeated warnings by the official or the degree of incident can result in substituting the pitcher for another fielder on the field, this is a judgment call made by the official. The warned pitcher can still play but will not be allowed to pitch for the remainder of the game taking place. Pitchers who undermine the authority of the referee by disgracefully pitching from one extreme to the other after a warning will not be allowed to continue in the game in any sort. If a referee is not present see GENTLEMAN'S RULES.

Kick the ball.

Do not tap a pitched ball, do not run into a pitched ball, do not chop swing a pitched ball, do not use the bottom of your foot to redirect a pitched ball, do not roll over the top of a pitched ball with your foot, do not redirect a pitched ball in any form or fashion that the referee would deem as an improper kick.

Pitched balls are meant to be kicked. Kick the ball.

Balls that are not kicked properly will be called a strike. The referee will use their discretion on properly kicked balls considering the extension of the foot, fluid movement, and continuous leg speed during a kick attempt.

Kick the ball.

All kicks must be made by foot or shin. A kick made by the knee or above will be a "DEAD BALL" and count as a strike.

All kicked balls must travel outside the 30ft arc that starts halfway from home to 1st and home to 3rd. Any kicked ball falling short of the arc and stopping on its own will be called a strike. If a fielder touches the ball prior to this mark either before the ball stops on its own or before the referee has announced a decision on the status of the kicked ball, the ball is considered in play.

During a winter season, the 30ft arc is replaced with a straight line that starts halfway from home to 1st and home to 3rd. The start and end of this line is usually indicated by cones halfway down the baseline.

The back of the kicker’s plant foot cannot be fully in front of home plate when kicking. If the kicker steps fully in front of home plate for their kick attempt, the kick will be a "DEAD BALL" and count as a “STRIKE”.

The ball must be rolling for the kicker to attempt a kick on the ball. If the ball stops or has a dramatic reduction in speed before it reaches the plate it will be a "DEAD BALL" and must be repitched.

If the kicker stops a pitched ball with their foot, it can be counted as a “STRIKE” and treated like a "DEAD BALL". Kickers that do not want to take action on a pitched ball should either pick it up with their hands and hand it to the catcher or let it pass through to the catcher who can return it to the pitcher. The referee can use common sense judgment on this ruling during a game or as set forth with captains before the start of the game.

A double kicked ball is described as a kicked ball that touches the same player more than once before touching an opposing team member first. All double kicked or double touched balls will stop game play. Base runners cannot advance or tag up; all existing base runners are to return to the base in which they came.

If the kicker double kicks the ball while it is behind the home plate extension and not over the plate when they are hit the 2nd time with the ball - it counts as a STRIKE.

If the kicker double kicks the ball while the ball is over or in front of the plate or they touch the ball in fair territory when they are hit the 2nd time with the ball, they are OUT. This includes kickers who have crossed over the home plate extension line and are running towards 1st within the safety base path without ever crossing into fair territory. Any player that is touched or hit by their own kick over or past home plate extension will be OUT.

Runners must reasonably stay within the base line. Play motion, the speed of the runner, and their trajectory should be taken into consideration as they round any bases.

If a ball in play touches a runner who is not safe on an appropriate base, they will be OUT. This includes runners hit by balls kicked by their own team members.

Running past another runner is not allowed. Any runner passed by another runner is out, this includes instances when a runner behind touches a base before the runner in front of them; including home plate. In instances at home, the act of one runner touching the plate before the appropriate runner constitutes an out. In 2 out scenarios, this counts as the third out and the score will not count.

An offense player that pushes, touches, or physically advances other offense players during game play is prohibited. In this instance, the advanced runner will be considered OUT, all play stops, and the ball will be considered a "DEAD BALL”. All remaining players return to the base that they touched last.

Runners can run through first base free of being tagged out unless they are "MAKING A TURN TOWARD SECOND BASE".

"MAKING A TURN TOWARD SECOND BASE" puts the runner at 1st at mercy of being tagged for an out. A runner will be considered “MAKING A TURN TOWARD SECOND BASE” when they cross the Aggressive Movement Plane (“The AMP Line”). This plane runs along the left side of the white base as you approach 1st. Crossing “The AMP Line” puts the player at mercy of being tagged out by a fielder.

If there is a play at first, the runner must tag the orange safety base or the runner will be out. The runner has the option to turn on the white base when there is no play at 1st. See Safety & Interference at First Base for instances when a first base-person unintentionally blocks access to this base.

Leading off base and base stealing is not allowed. Any player caught by the official to be leading off or stealing a base before the ball is kicked will be called out. In this scenario, the ball will be a "DEAD BALL". All runners, except for the runner called out, will return to their bases. The kicker will not be penalized with a strike and can re-kick (unless the runner called out was the third out).

A fly ball that is caught in fair or foul territory will be an OUT. In this scenario, the ball is now a live ball unless it is the third out.

A runner is considered “TAGGED UP” on base as soon as a kicked fly ball is touched, regardless of whether it is bobbled and then caught. Runners can “TAG UP” on first touch of a fly ball.

On all caught fly balls, where runners left their base before a kicked ball was touched, all runners must tag each base(s) that they have touched on their way back to their original base to avoid a force out at their base of origin.

Fielders have the option to either tag the runner with the ball or throw to the runner’s base of origin to secure an out or a force out.

A touched and dropped ball in foul territory is considered a "DEAD BALL" and cannot be tagged up on.

Hitting a runner with the ball above the shoulder is not allowed. A runner hit above the shoulder will be safe, except when the runner intentionally uses his/her head to block the ball, as determined by an official, and/or if the runner is ducking, diving, or sliding (i.e. actively attempting to dodge the ball) and is hit in the head, as determined by an official.

When the runner is hit with the ball above the shoulder level, the ball is considered a "DEAD BALL" and other runners are permitted to advance to the base to which they were running, but do not receive additional bases unless forced by the advancement of the runner hit with the ball.

If multiple runners are on the same base at the same time, and a force out does not apply, the fielder has the choice to tag either runner. The runner who is tagged is out, the other is safe.

Runners that intentionally swat, hit, kick or otherwise purposefully deflect a ball out of a defensive players possession will cause the play to be a dead ball and all runners, except for the one that got out by touching the ball, will return to the base that they touched last.

Infielders are limited to 6 players. A pitcher and catcher are required. The remaining 4 infielder positions usually include the 1st base-person, 2nd base-person, 3rd base-person, and a short stop.

Infielders may stand outside the dirt (in the outfield) if they choose to.

Outfielders are to remain outside the dirt (in the outfield; approx 75ft from home) until the ball has been kicked.

Infielders are not permitted to move into the Neutral Zone, from the time the ball has been pitched and until the ball has been kicked.

There is NO infield fly rule. However, if in the official’s determination, the infielder dropped the ball intentionally to try to or successfully secure additional outs, the ball will be a "DEAD BALL". In this scenario, the kicker will be out and all base runners will advance one base.

Fielders must always use the white primary base when making a play at 1st.

Obstruction, Collisions, & Safety

Fielders must stay out of the base line, unless attempting to tag a runner with the ball or field an incoming kickball. It's the responsibility of the runner to avoid collisions with fielders who are making a play on a ball within the baseline.

Fielders should attempt to occupy the furthest portion of a base when there is an oncoming runner. If a fielder (not fielding the ball) physically obstructs a runner from advancing, the runner may advance as many bases as they would've had they not been obstructed (this is a judgment call made by the official). This includes multiple fielders at the same base who are blocking safe access or appropriate passage by a runner.

Interference at First Base

Fielders, the 1st base-person in particular, must stay out of the safety base path of incoming runners unless making a play for a kicked or fly ball down/near the 1st base line. As runners are obligated to reach the safety base when there is a play at 1st, fielders should do their best to provide safe passage to this base regardless of the intended outcome. Runners should avoid this type of collision as the fielder has their head up and away from an incoming runner. Fielders are not to cross into the safety base path of runners for any other type of play at 1st. In avoidable and unfortunate collision or obstruction scenarios the runner will at a minimum be safe at 1st. Officials reserve the right to advance the runner for avoidable and dangerous interference caused by a first base-person fielding a ball thrown to them.

Disregard for Safety

Any fielder, runner, or player with a blatant disregard for safety is subject to being out, substituted, ejected, and/or expelled from the game, additional games, season(s), and or the league. Kickball is a game, not a sport.

"FOUL" balls are counted as strikes. Thus, a kicker will strike out with any combination of 3 strikes and/or foul balls.

A kicked ball that is caught anywhere in foul territory, without interference from a foreign object will be an out.

Tagging up on a caught ball anywhere in foul territory is allowed.

The position of the ball when it either stops under its own power, when it is first touched by a player, or where it lands once past 1st/3rd base will determine whether the ball is fair or foul. The location of the player when the ball is touched is not a factor in this determination.

  • A kicked and uncaught ball that has stopped in foul territory before 1st or 3rd base will be "FOUL".
  • A kicked ball that first hits the ground in foul territory past 1st or 3rd base will be "FOUL".
  • A kicked ball that is moving and is touched in foul territory will be "FOUL" unless caught for an OUT.
  • A kicked ball that rolls past the outside of first or third base in foul territory and no part of the ball rolled over any part of the white primary base at first will be "FOUL".

A moving kicked ball cannot be called either way until the ball has stopped on its own, is touched, passes 1st or 3rd base, or touches the ground and crosses the Overthrow Line. This accounts for potentially foul balls that can often roll, spin, or bounce back into fair territory on their own; thus becoming potentially fair balls.

Any kicked ball that hits a foreign object in foul territory (i.e. tree, building, chair, table, cooler, etc.) will be considered "FOUL". If the foreign object encroaches into fair territory (tree branch, etc...) it can no longer be caught and or played for an out, as its origin stems from foul territory.

Each team will be issued one challenge at the start of each game.*

"CHALLENGE" can only be called by the team captain. Challengeable calls are those that result in a definitive outcome. Foul Balls, strikes, double kicks, and kicks falling short of the halfway arc cannot be challenged. Caught fly balls and trapped balls cannot be challenged. A definitive outcome refers to a definitive result for both teams. A determination for both sides of being safe/out must be able to be determined. The disputed call location also determines stoppage of the play. A challenged call cannot be challenged; however, play motion can have multiple challenge points.

In this scenario, the play closest in time from the kick must be challenged first. This will determine the possibility of any resulting challengeable plays.

A challengeable call must be close enough that it leaves room for human error.

Challengeable calls are generally used for close calls and bang-bang plays; an example of this would be when a runner touches a base and a fielder hits them with the ball and/or forces them out at what appears to be a similar instance.

Both of the team captains must be in agreement for the traditional challenge activity to take place.

  • No one can be forced to do a beverage challenge.
  • The same player is not allowed to do more than one beverage challenge in the same game.
  • Tossing KLOR mallets is not an acceptable challenge.

If the traditional activity is not agreed upon, the captains can offer suggestions to each other for any nontraditional activity for a challenge.

Both team captains and the official must all be in agreement for any nontraditional activity to take place. Examples of non-traditional activities include:

  • Variations of the traditional challenge
  • Who can kick or throw the ball the furthest
  • Foot Race, Wheelbarrow Race, Somersault Race, or Crab Walk - to or around the base(s).
  • A Dance-Off, Cartwheel Race, Shoe Toss, or Dizzy Bat activities
  • Combinations of or other ideas; etc

If a challenge activity cannot be decided upon, within a reasonable amount of time, a “Ball Toss” from behind the pitcher’s line to home plate will be used as the default challenge. In this scenario, a tossed ball that stops closest to any part or side of home plate will have the challenged call go in their team’s favor.

The cone(s) behind home plate can be used to mark the toss(es) if only one ball is available.

*In games with the absence of a referee, each team will begin with two challenges. If a team executes and wins both challenges, one final challenge will be rewarded for use. If a game extends into extra innings, all unused challenges will be removed and 1 challenge each is awarded for remainder of extra innings.

Additionally, as a referee is not present to initially make a judgment on close calls, and in instances where the call itself is up for debate among both teams, Rock/Paper/Scissors (RPS), best out of 3, will be used as the deciding factor as the call on the field. Thereafter, the call, as determined, can be challenged accordingly from any remaining challenge(s).

  • Challenge is called by team captain who disagrees with a close call on the field.
  • Referee confirms or denies that it is a challengeable call.
  • Captains and referee gather near home plate to discuss the challenge activity and what the potential outcomes will be for both teams after a completed challenge.
  • The referee will suggest the traditional challenge activity, which can be denied by either captain.
  • Discussion of a different challenge activity progresses as follows:
  • Initiating captain proposes a challenge activity to other captain.
  • Captains can build onto proposed challenge and determining stipulations.
  • Other captain can ultimately accept/reject proposed activity.
  • Other captain proposes a different challenge activity to initiating captain.
  • Captains can build onto proposed challenge and determining stipulations.
  • Initiating captain can ultimately accept/reject proposed activity.
  • Initiating captain proposes a 3rd challenge activity to other captain.
  • Captains can build onto proposed challenge and determining stipulations.
  • Other captain can ultimately accept/reject proposed activity.
  • If an acceptable challenge cannot be agreed upon, the referee will revert to the default challenge activity to keep the game moving along.
  • The default challenge will be a Ball Toss.
  • If the initiating captain’s team wins the challenge, the disputed call will be reversed and play will continue as normal.

No glass or draught containers are permitted in Monroe County Parks; this is part of Monroe County Park Law. KLOR officials will ask teams and their spectators to remove any and all glass visible at the start of the game. Games will not begin until all glass or draught containers have been removed. Any team and their spectators that again have glass visible fifteen minutes after the start of the scheduled game will forfeit the game.

Keep all pets on a leash and on the sidelines. Any pets on the infield are both hazardous to the fielding team and any base runners. Pets may also be hit with a kicked or thrown ball. KLOR will not be liable for any pet that is injured during game play.

The park is carry-in/carry-out. You mother doesn’t work here; please make sure you clean up after yourselves. This includes all beverage containers, boxes, wrappers and any other garbage that may leave our mark on the field or park.

Clean up after your pet. Monroe County Parks are carry-in/carry-out, this includes any mess left by your pet(s) – especially on or near the field of play before games begin.

The park, your field, and any team congregation areas should be left in as good as or better condition that you found them, other than standard wear and tear of the playing area(s).

No sirens, megaphones, blow horns, air horns, vuvuzelas or obscene noise makers. Traditional instruments (such as a sousaphone) may be utilized if used in a gentleman-like manner and must adhere to the guidelines set forth under Monroe County Law. Instruments or noise makers that are purposefully blown as to distract a player who is attempting to kick or field balls or prevent a referee from making calls is prohibited. Any player or spectator using an instrument in this manner will be considered as displaying “UNSPORTSMANLIKE BEHAVIOR”. Music may be played if utilized appropriately (See Monroe County Park Law for more detail).

KLOR officials reserve the right to eject any player for heckling, blatant intoxication and/or any other offensive gesture, language, and/or act between players, teams and/or directed at any official.

KLOR and its sponsors and affiliates support responsible beverage consumption.

Please carpool as often as possible and use parking spaces appropriately.

NO VEHICLES ARE TO BE DRIVEN OUT OR PARKED IN THE LAWN. Service roads are for service and emergency vehicles only.

Speeding, peeling out, and general reckless vehicle operation on park property and near surrounding residences falls under “UNSPORTSMANLIKE BEHAVIOR”. This includes but is not limited to vehicles that disrespect park property or circumvent intended parking controls or block roadways; such as gates, barriers, curbs, ditches, walking paths, or inappropriate encroachments of vehicles across the grass in non-curbed or controlled roadways and parking areas.

KLOR will generally play in all weather conditions and KLOR itself rarely cancels games due to weather. Games will generally be delayed or cancelled due to lightning.

Games for a particular night may be cancelled at the discretion of the Monroe County Park Supervisor to help maintain the integrity of the grass and field areas. It is understood that they will notify KLOR on weekdays by 4:30pm, so that we can do our best to post applicable updates by 4:45pm on game days or the night before any Saturday games.

Check KLOR media outlets for all weather related updates.

Assume games are on as scheduled unless updated otherwise.

Willie Nelson: It Always Will Be

One hesitates to tell Willie Nelson what to do, but maybe the man should always sing songs with the word always in the title: "Always on My Mind" is one of Nelson's most enduring classics, and now "It Will Always Be" — the stately opening title track to his latest album — is the perfect beginning to Nelson's strongest album since 1996's Spirit.

Unlike some of his more homespun recent releases, the mostly mellow, thoughtful Always — produced with real style by James Stroud — draws on the best Nashville has to offer. An improbable highlight: the goofball, rollicking take on Greg Allman's "Midnight Rider" with Toby Keith.

Court Shuts Down LimeWire

Popular peer-to-peer service warned against sharing and distributing unauthorized following RIAA lawsuit

LimeWire, the popular decade-old peer-to-peer network, was shut down yesterday after losing its legal battle against the RIAA, Wired reports.

A federal judge found that 93 percent of the traffic on Limewire, which drew 50 million users a month, involved the transfer of unauthorized copyright material. Under the judge's orders, LimeWire ceased all "searching, downloading, uploading [and] file trading."

The Hottest Live Photos of the Week

The decision marks the first time legal action has been taken against a peer-to-peer software provider since the United States Supreme Court ruled in 2005 that file-sharing companies could be sued for distributing copyright-infringing materials. RIAA filed their lawsuit against LimeWire in 2006.

Random Notes: Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Elton John

"As of today, we are required to stop distribution and support of LimeWire's P2P file-sharing service as a result of a court-ordered injunction," LimeWire CEO George Searle wrote yesterday on the company"s website. "Naturally, we're disappointed with this turn of events. We are extremely proud of our pioneering history and have, for years, worked hard to bridge the gap between technology and content rights holders. However, at this time, we have no option but to cease further distribution and support of our software. It's a sad occasion for our team, and for you — the hundreds of millions of people who have used LimeWire to discover new things."

I have used this database extensively during the time I was
programming in REALbasic, and I can honestly say it burns just about
anything out there when it comes to speed. Don't let the fact that
it's not so widely known hold you back. Its object-relational nature
(besides being able to use SQL92) makes it stand out between
everything else I've seen and is perfect for Rails integration. For

just like their product a lot :-)

Hi all,

 Do you have file for FM modulated and digitized signal data?

 I read '' code and it uses a data from 'mc4020'
 or a file 'dummy.dat'.
 But I can't find a 'dummy.dat' file in the gnuradio directory.

 I think it could be a FM modulated and digitized signal.
 If you have that kind of file, please forward it to me.

 Otherwise, any test tips without ADC hardware would be welcome.

 Thanks in advance.

I experience some problems with my USRP and the RFX2400. When I run a
simple program to capture data samples from the USRP it locks after
some time (minutes to hours). There is no crash, it just stops
receiving samples. I attached the code to this email so others can try
it out to see if it is my setup or not.

The program is very simple. It configures the USRP and sends the
samples to /dev/null. I modified the file sink to inclue a counter so
I can see if there are samples coming from the USRP or not. The diff
is here:

RCS file: /sources/gnuradio/gnuradio-core/src/lib/io/,v
retrieving revision 1.4
diff -r1.4
>   d_counter = 0;
>     d_counter += 1;
>     if (d_counter % 10000 == 0){
>       fprintf(stdout, "count %d\n", d_counter), fflush(stdout);
>     }

I have the latest CVS/SVN version and use python 2.4.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Forum: Ruby on Rails Managing options for select boxes

When having a select box like:

Select profession:
  * Unemployed
  * Hooligan
  * Canoo

I've on some occasions used a "type" class:

class ProfessionType < BaseType
    @types = {}
    @types[0] ='Unemployed')
    @types[1] ='Hooligan')
    @types[2] ='Canoo')

Where BaseType facilitates some convenience methods (allowing for eg.
ProfessionType.HOOLIGAN which returns 1, or returning an array
appropriate for generating the options for a select).

This approach works fine, but doesn't feel quite right. An alternative
approach could be to just hard code the select box and save the string
values directly in the DB. Or one could make a "selectables" table in
the DB and model it like:

Selectable < AR::Base
  #... convenience methods here ...
  def options_for_select

ProfessionSelectable < Selectable

But this is probably overdoing it, especially if the options are

I'm curious to know how others treat their options for selects - so
what do you do?

There is no golden hammer.
For some fix things I use the method in helper and for some dynamic
things usually data is stored in Db somewhere and I think that I have
one using data from yaml file.
So use as you see fit.

New salary deal has been signed

On the 6th December, LiU's Saco-S representatives and Linköping University signed an agreement regarding new pay deals for all university employees who are members of a Saco-S union, as set out in the central RALS-T agreement.

Publicerad: Måndag 19 dec 2016

Senast uppdaterad: Onsdag 1 feb 2017

The new salaries come into force as of the 1st October 2016 and back-pay for October and November will be included along with the next wage packet on the 21st December.

Most of you already know, or will find out in the next few days, what your new salary will be. Everyone has the right to discuss decisions regarding the allocation of wages with either their department head or the person responsible for setting pay levels.

There were two separate approaches to this year's negotiations. Pay discussions with the majority of institutions followed the usual model, whereby we negotiated directly with university representatives responsible for setting wages. Negotiations with IMT, IEI and large sections of the administrative body, on the other hand, were carried out via individual salary negotiations (lönesättande samtal). We believe that both approaches went well and the average pay increase for our members undergoing a pay review was 2.4 %, which must be considered as a positive result considering that the University is once again running a deficit this year. As I often point out, the Swedish state only reimburses the university for a percentage of the increase in its wage bill, which means that this year LiU must once again pay most of the wage increases from its savings (its 'myndighetskapital').

We will eventually publish a brief break-down of the outcome of the negotiations on this website.

We were particularly successful this year with the negotiations regarding PhD students. The new PhD salaries can be found here.Current PhD students should check that their new salaries are correct.

The RALS-T agreement stipulates that individual salary negotiations will also be the default method of negotiation, even in the higher education sector. Our partially joint understanding is therefore to continue to expand the implementation of this approach, where the conditions are met  and in a gradual fashion, in those bodies and institutions where we believe it will work well. However, we must all be prepared sooner or later to commit fully to the new model for salary discussion.

Please also note that employees who are not members of any union receive a salary which the employer deems to be appropriate. It is therefore in the interest of every employee to be a member of at least one union.

Finally, let me wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Krzysztof Marciniak

Chairman Saco-S/LiU

5 Ways to Strengthen Your Immune System This Winter

The winter is approaching, and with cold and flu symptoms becoming increasingly prevalent, it’s important to keep a strong and balanced immune system to avoid infections. Taking supplements can help strengthen your natural defenses*, however there are a variety of factors - from stress to bad eating habits - that can compromise your immune system. Here are 5 ways you can reduce your risk of getting ill this winter season.

Focus on your diet

A healthy immune system depends on a balanced mix of vitamins and minerals over time. Foods rich in zinc, such as lean meats, poultry and baked beans, can balance the immune response and control inflammation in your body (Science Daily, 2013). Consuming dark, leafy greens such as spinach, kale and brussels sprouts can also improve the immune system due to their richness in vitamin C.

Get more sleep

During cold and flu season, feeling run down and tired can compromise your natural defenses, making you more susceptible to viral and bacterial infections. A strong immune system is one that has the ability to repair and restore itself while the body rests. To help boost your immunity and help the body defend itself against foreign or harmful substances, aim to get 7-8 hours of sleep at night (NIH, 2017). Not only is sleep beneficial for your immune system, it can help support healthy brain functions and maintain your physical health.

Increase your fluids

Increasing your water intake can do wonders for your body in multiple ways. Not only does water help carry oxygen to your cells (ensuring that your body’s systems function adequately), it allows your cells to take in nutrients and supports the kidneys in expelling toxins and waste products (WebMD, 2008). This helps your immune system work more effectively as your muscles and organs can function at their optimum level. If drinking plain water is difficult, why not add a slice of lemon? Lemons are a great source of vitamin C, and can also aid in boosting the immune system to help fight against the common cold, prevent disease and protect your cells.

Reduce stress

Chronic stress can be detrimental on the body in numerous ways.  Not only does it reduce the strength of T-cells (which multiply and invade infected cells) in the body, it can also reduce the immune system’s ability to fight off antigens, leaving the body susceptible to infections (Psychosomatic Medicine, 1984). Stress can also have an indirect effect on the immune system as a person may use unhealthy coping mechanisms such as drinking and smoking (American Psychological Association, 2006). While we can’t completely eradicate stress from our lives, finding healthy alternative strategies such as exercising, spending time with loved ones and getting more sleep can help boost our immune system and overall health.

Wash your hands often

Washing your hands is one of the most effective ways to reduce the spread of germs and avoid contracting many illnesses. Bacteria picked up from feces or contaminated objects can be passed from person to person if not handled properly. To avoid passing germs this winter season, it is important to wash your hands after visiting the toilet, handling food, or coughing or sneezing. Reducing the amount you touch your face can also help strengthen the immune system as germs can easily get into the body through the eyes, nose and mouth.

Taking proactive steps towards boosting your immune system could make all the difference when winter arrives. The key ingredients in Airborne® Plus Beta Immune Booster provides immune support with a specially crafted blend of vitamins and minerals to boost your natural defenses, ensuring your immune cells work at their best*.

Sci Fi TV Reboots that Should Happen: Land of the Lost

By | April 21, 2016

Television reboots are all the rage mostly because the entertainment industry prefers name recognition over original ideas. But there are some properties that truly deserve a re-look because they didn’t quite achieve their goal the first time around or they were cut short.

land-of-the-lost-rebootWhat Is It? This Saturday morning live action series from the 70’s followed the Marshall family (Rick, Will, and Holly) who fall through an inter-dimensional portal and enter into the closed universe known as the “Land of the Lost” populated by dinosaurs, the lizard-like Sleestak, the monkey-like Pakuni, and more.

When Did It Originally Air? NBC Saturday Mornings 1974-76, 3 Seasons Totaling 43 Episodes

Credits of Note: David Gerrold (Co-Creator / Showrunner), Sid and Marty Krofft (Co-Creators / Executive Producers), Actors: Spencer Milligan, Wesley Eure, Kathy Coleman, Phillip Paley

Where Did The Original Fall Short? A budget far too small for its ambitions, overly-cutesy family-oriented stories, bad acting.

Why Reboot It? Sure, this series was super-cheesy, even for its sfx-challenged era (though they did do a bang up job on the dinosaur stop motion). It also had plenty of cutsey and/or angsty family stories, and sometimes you just wanted to put a muzzle on the ever-whining Holly. But Star Trek veteran David Gerrold had been brought onboard early to flesh out the mythology of the Land of the Lost and also to establish an over-arching theme for the series. And he did just that which became the strength of the series and helped it rise above being just another kids’ show on Saturdays. The pylons that tied together and controlled the land, the tragic history or the Sleestak, the many visitors that passed through this universe all made for some interesting stories and a nice break from the family-centric episodes. Plus, Gerrold brought science fiction writers such as Larry Niven, Norman Spinrad, Ben Bova, and more into the fold to pen some to the episodes. So at a time when genre entries were sparse on the Prime Time schedule, this show offered a respite for sci fi-starved viewers.

The base that Gerrald established for the show is what a reboot should key upon, and it should follow as closely as possible to that. This could give us everything that 2011’s Terra Nova promised but failed to deliver on. The family drama should be played down because that’s not what the sci fi audience wants, but it doesn’t have to be completely dropped. And they should do something different with the Holly character, or completely change up the family dynamic. But with today’s technology, much of what the original strove for but fell short of could be accomplished with a reboot. The core premise is there and it has plenty of meat that could carry the show for several seasons. Done well, this is the type of series people are looking for these days and it could be carried off successfully with the right production team in place (perhaps bring Gerrald back) and with good casting.

Tried It Before:  This show was actually rebooted in the 90’s for a Saturday morning run that lasted for two seasons totaling twenty-six episodes.  It lacked the retro-charm of the original, though, and has since mostly faded into TV Oblivion.  And the less said about the 2009 big screen revival starring Will Ferrell, the better.

Watch it Online: The entire series is available online at YouTube at this link if you want to give it a look for the first time or revisit past memories.  You can watch the first episode here.

Hackers released exploit code on Monday for a patched Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) flaw. The disclosure could be the catalyst for widespread attacks, according to researchers.

An unknown hacker released the exploit on the Milw0rm website on Monday — more than a month after Microsoft released a fix (MS07-009) for the flaw as part of its February Patch Tuesday distribution.

The vulnerability exists in ADODB.Connection ActiveX object and can cause memory corruption or remote attacks, according to an updated advisory from US-CERT.

The flaw can be exploited when handling the "Execute ()" method, according to a February advisory from Secunia.

Secunia created researcher Yag Kohha with reporting the flaw.

When Redmond released a patch for the IE flaw in February — during a 12-patch distribution for 20 flaws — the fix was largely overshadowed by a single patch that corrected a list of zero day exploits in Microsoft Office.

A Monday alert from Websense Security Labs credited H.D. Moore, who published a DoS demonstration, with the original exposure of the vulnerability during his Month of Browser Bugs in July.

Websense warned that the exploit could become prevalent in the malicious user community.

"This type of vulnerability has been very popular with malicious attacks in the past and we expect to see its usage increase substantially now that exploit code is publicly available," read the advisory.

A Websense spokeswoman referred requests for comment to the published alert because Websense researchers were not available for comment.

Golf: Flawless O’Hern ahead by three after stunning 62

Share this article
Have your say

Australia’s Nick O’Hern carded a spotless nine-under-par 62 to lead the Open by three strokes at the end of day one.

In carding nine birdies and no bogeys, O’Hern equalled the CordeValle course record and established a three-shot cushion from early leader Jhonattan Vegas, Ryder Cup star Nicolas Colsaerts and Derek Ernst.

With players attempting to clinch a PGA Tour card for next season, O’Hern made the ideal early statement in San Martin, California.

To qualify for membership without going to the qualifying school, players must match the earnings of the player 125th on this year’s money list.

Starting at the tenth, O’Hern, 144th on the money list after just one top-ten finish this season, claimed eight birdies in 11 holes from the 13th, then added another on his final hole, the ninth.

Belgian Colsaerts, who made such an impact as one of Jose Maria Olazabal’s wild card picks at the Ryder Cup, entered the tournament 120th on the money list. He too was bogey-free, carding six birdies for a share of second alongside Venezuela’s Vegas and Ernst of the United States.

Behind them was a group of five players on five under, including England’s Greg Owen.

Scotland’s Russell Knox was one under for a share of 33rd, England’s Brian Davis one over in joint 72nd and his compatriot Gary Christian in 121st on five over. Defending champion Bryce Molder was in a tie for 50th after a level-par round of 71.
