PFT: Ravens to open season on road? |? Where?
Getty ImagesCurrent and former NFL players who appear on radio gradually are learning that their words don?t evaporate into the ether.? They linger ? and they can have consequences.
Former Patriots linebacker Ted Johnson witnessed that reality on Friday.? He?ll likely witness it again, if/when he encounters Patriots defensive lineman Vince Wilfork in person.
A caller to SportsRadio 610 in Houston asked Johnson, who works with the station, to name his teammate with the ugliest wife.
?You know what? I got it. This is a big, big man. And this guy had his way with the Texans this year,? Johnson said, MyFOXBoston.com.? ?He won?t hear this. Vince Wilfork.?
Well, Wilfork heard it.
?Your [sic] barking up the wrong tree I hear and see everything mother f?ker,? Wilfork said in a tweet directed to Johnson, via TheBigLead.? Wilfork later posted an image of a longer message sent directly to Johnson.
?Every1 is entitled to their own opinion but it is f?ked up when a x-teammate that I actually looked up to and enjoyed playing with takes shots at my wife for whatever reasons,? Wilfork said. ?I love my wife and my family.? She is my everything. I don?t care when this was said no one should cross that line. The line has been crossed so it is what it is. All I wann [sic] say is f?k you! You don?t want to f?k with me or my family.? Take shots at me all day but not them.? I have a great family life and blessed to have them.?
Johnson has apologized via Twitter.? ?I just made a huge error in judgment and want to apologize to Vince and his wife for comments I made earlier today on a Houston radio show,? Johnson said.? ?Vince and his family are outstanding people who I have admired since they arrived in NE.? I learned a big lesson today and feel terrible.?
Apart from Johnson?s initial blunder, everyone involved did the right thing.? We admire Wilfork for zealously defending his wife, Bianca.? He should have.? And we respect Johnson for apologizing.? He needed to.
And we?ve got a feeling neither Johnson nor any other current or former player will be answering that question ever again, in any setting.

New Curiosity 'safe mode' status expected to be brief
Mar. 18, 2013 ? NASA's Mars rover Curiosity is expected to resume science investigations in a few days, as engineers quickly diagnosed a software issue that prompted the rover to put itself into a precautionary standby status over the weekend.
Curiosity initiated this automated fault-protection action, entering "safe mode" at about 8 p.m. PDT (11 p.m. EDT) on March 16, while operating on the B-side computer, one of its two main computers that are redundant to each other. It did not switch to the A-side computer, which was restored last week and is available as a back-up if needed. The rover is stable, healthy and in communication with engineers.
The safe-mode entry was triggered when a command file failed a size-check by the rover's protective software. Engineers diagnosed a software bug that appended an unrelated file to the file being checked, causing the size mismatch.
"This is a very straightforward matter to deal with," said the project manager for Curiosity, Richard Cook of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "We can just delete that file, which we don't need any more, and we know how to keep this from occurring in the future."
The mission's science observations have been on hold since a memory glitch on the A-side computer on Feb. 27, which prompted controllers to command a swap from the A-side computer to the B-side computer. That operator-commanded swap put Curiosity into safe mode for two days. The rover team restored the availability of the A-side as a backup and prepared the B-side to resume full operations.
Cautiously bringing Curiosity out of safe mode status on the B-side is expected to take a couple of days. A four-week moratorium on sending commands to the rover will begin April 4 due to solar system geometry of Mars passing nearly directly behind the sun from Earth's perspective. The moratorium is a precaution against interference by the sun corrupting a command sent to the rover.
NASA's Mars Science Laboratory project is using Curiosity and the rover's 10 science instruments to investigate environmental history within Gale Crater, a location where the project has found that conditions were long ago favorable for microbial life. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington.

Stock Market Soars to New Heights: The Big Story The President, GOP Don?t Dare Talk About
A tale of two parties:
On the Democratic side, President Obama portrays himself as a savior of the middle class. His primary function, as successfully articulated in the campaign that earned him a second term, is to shelter working folks from Republicans, who, of course, only exist to protect their rich buddies currently waterskiing behind a yacht near you.
Mantra: Tax the top 1% even more, make them pay their fair share, level the playing field, and give everyone else a break.
Most Republicans portray themselves as saviors of the economy and capitalism. Their primary function is to prevent the President/Democrats from spending us into oblivion (some call it Greece) as evidenced by our $17 trillion deficit?about $7 trillion of which was spent under the current administration.
Mantra: Stop the bleeding, balance the budget, allow more folks to keep their hard-earned money, and party like its 1986 again.
In a related story, Friday?s Dow closed down slightly at a still-eye-popping 14,514, ending its longest winning streak in nearly 17 years. This kind of rally, these record-highs, are usually great news for the party in power. But for a guy who enjoys spiking the football on any issue resembling success, Mr. Obama rarely broaches the subject.
Republicans are mum as well. After all, any good economic news (in their view) can?t be good for the party going into the midterm election season (which starts in seven minutes). That?s not saying?as some will below?that the GOP is rooting for Americans to suffer?it just means you won?t really hear any conservatives in government or its brand of media bring it up.
So why isn?t the President taking credit for the market?s awesome performance?
Here?s one theory: As mentioned earlier, the President says he?s a champion for Main Street, not Wall Street. If he touts the Dow busting through another ceiling, he?ll only be contradicting the Occupy Wall Street crowd he subtlety aligned with during the campaign (when he was drawing a contrast with a very rich Republican nominee). The way Mr. Obama?s surrogates in the media laid out the argument when courting votes, Wall Street is a place where corporate raiders like Gordon Gekko and Mitt Romney get rich on the backs of the middle class. To suddenly say a big bull market is a good thing for the country as a whole would somehow be seen as hypocritical.
Another factor in play here is an important one: The actions of the Federal Reserve System?arguably more important than any of the three branches of government?as it relates to monetary policy.
At the moment, the Fed is heavily engaged in something called quantitative easing, which in its simplest form is another way of saying, ?printing more money?. And lots of it. This money is used to purchase bonds, which has resulted in the record-low interest rates we?re seeing. Ultimately, the low rates embolden people to take more risks (See: invest in stocks for the higher yields that exist there).
Overall, the Fed spends $85 billion each month buying Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities. For those keeping score at home, that is the same sum as the entire sequester for fiscal 2013.
So what does it all mean?
It means this stock market surge is not based on a healthy, growing economy (0.1 GDP growth last quarter; 4.0 GDP growth is considered solid), but largely by one injected with green steroids (fresh cash) and supported by sturdy corporate profits.
But don?t take my word for it. According to progressive economist Paul Krugman, this combination of quantitative easing and strong balance sheets doesn?t mean Main Street is feeling the love:
?I wish I could say that (the market rise) all good news, but it isn?t. Those low interest rates are the sign of an economy that is nowhere near to a full recovery from the financial crisis of 2008, while the high level of stock prices shouldn?t be cause for celebration; it is, in large part, a reflection of the growing disconnect between productivity and wages.?
In other words, corporations doing better doesn?t necessarily mean its employees are also (consumer incomes are at a 20-year low, for example). Hence why President Obama didn?t mention the market?s performance even once during his most recent interview with George Stephanopoulos last week, a conversation dominated by the economy. Creating more millionaires is soooo Republican in the President?s eyes, but that?s exactly what?s going on, and that?s exactly why he?s ain?t talking.
And when the President wants to avoid a subject, so do (for the most part) his friends in the media. A booming stock market, particularly one breaking records that had existed for nearly two decades, should be a lead story on, say, MSNBC. But all we hear about is how horrible Paul Ryan?s budget is, or about all the legion of doom at CPAC, then we ever do about what?s unfolding on Wall Street.
As for conservative media, it?s the same deal. For Sean Hannity or The Five to lead their programs talking about a historic rally would appear too favorable to the President?s economic record amidst the gloom and doom normally hammered home on a daily basis.
With every news story outside of the weather, good or bad, the media needs to attribute credit somewhere?
But in the curious case of the big party on Wall Street, neither political party wants any part of the narrative.

Optimism in the Air - Larry Kudlow - Townhall Finance Conservative ...
You might not know it from the acrimonious political debate on cable and broadcast TV, or on talk radio, or on websites and blogs. But here's a counterintuitive observation: Amidst all the negativism out there, I believe? optimism is in the air.
That's right.? Optimism.
Sometimes you have to search for it, or read it in the fine print. But I believe the political economy is getting better, not worse.
Let me make a few points to defend what most folks believe is an indefensible position.
The stock market is hitting record highs daily, returning a tremendous amount of wealth to the half of American households that own shares. This investor-class wealth-creation alone is sparking a new sense of confidence and optimism.
Then on a smaller scale, housing -- the other great source of American wealth -- is beginning an impressive recovery. Over 60 percent of Americans own their own home, a key form of wealth. Like stocks, the housing recovery is creating a new sense of optimism after a very long and depressing dry spell.
Then there's the anemic economic recovery. It's the worst in modern times going back to 1947. But wait a minute -- things are looking up here, too.
Let me quote from the highly respected economists Conrad DeQuadros and John Ryding: "In the last two weeks, we have seen manufacturing ISM, non-manufacturing ISM, ABP employment, payrolls, jobless claims, retail sales, and industrial production beat expectations and show an upswing in economic activity."
Record profits for business may be driving this economic pickup. And it's all unfolding after the supposedly catastrophic budget-cutting sequester, and after a tax-hike bill that supply-siders like myself opposed (although income and investment taxes went up much less than feared).
In fact, even the eruption in government spending is showing signs of calming down. Taking into account a modest recovery, spending-cut bills of roughly $2 trillion and an end to the failed spending stimulus of 2009, the federal spending share of the economy has dropped from 25 percent in 2009-10, to 24 percent in 2011, to just below 23 percent last year.
As I have argued time and again, spending cuts and limited government lower the overall tax burden and promote economic growth.

NCAA's new enforcement chief has 18-month window
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) ? Jonathan Duncan has 18 months to prove he can run the NCAA's enforcement department effectively, efficiently and within the rules.
Then President Mark Emmert will decide whether the new interim top cop should stick around permanently.
After three full days in his new job, Duncan told The Associated Press he's been told he'll have a year and a half to restore the public image of an enforcement division reeling from the embarrassment of a botched investigation at the University of Miami.
"I think we can get a lot done in that time," Duncan said as he confirmed the 18-month time frame.
It won't be easy for the outsider.
He takes over from Julie Roe Lach, the first female enforcement chief who was a popular figure within NCAA headquarters. She was forced out March 1, less than two weeks after the governing body released a report showing the NCAA paid Nevin Shapiro's attorney to collect evidence in the Miami case despite objections from the NCAA's legal department -- and in violation of the NCAA's own rules.
Shapiro, who is serving a 20-year prison term for masterminding a $930 million Ponzi scheme, alleges he provided dozens of Miami football and basketball players with improper benefits from 2002 to 2010 while playing the role of rogue booster.
Emmert told reporters Feb. 18 that the case would proceed.
Miami President Donna Shalala has argued the Hurricanes already have suffered enough with self-imposed penalties and that the school should not face any additional NCAA sanctions.
Duncan declined to comment specifically on the Miami case though he acknowledged he is "getting up to speed" on multiple infractions cases. But the offer to lead the enforcement division came as a "surprise," Duncan said. He would not say when Emmert offered him the job.
He's taking over a department in turmoil.
Two key enforcement division leaders, including Lach, have left in the past nine months. The NCAA also has lost two investigators over the past year, is facing its biggest scandal in recent memory and Duncan has already noted that the department is in need of both stability and a morale boost.
"I'm not going to go very far into internal personnel matters, but these department members are professionals, they are skilled, trained, experienced individuals," Duncan said. "But they're human and the recent events have had an effect on them. But they are committed, hard-working and I have confidence that we can move forward and do this very difficult task that we have to do."
Duncan has practiced at a Kansas City law firm, Spencer Fane Britt & Browne, since 2003 and spent the previous five years at another Kansas City law firm, Husch Blackwell.
He also understands how the NCAA works. He first represented the NCAA in litigation in 1998 and has provided counsel to a variety of NCAA committees and working groups while also working on reinstatement cases over the past 15 years.
His initial goal at the NCAA is to restore the public trust in his department by making good decisions.
Duncan intends to spend these first weeks collecting feedback from member schools, brushing up on the enforcement changes approved last fall, reviewing the department's policies and procedures and, of course, ensuring that all of his employees adhere to the rules.
If all goes well over the next 18 months, the career attorney just might become a permanent fixture in Indianapolis.
"I have spoken with President Emmert and we share a vision for a process that is fair and provides service to the membership," he said. "Not just in regards to enforcement but to all of the national office functions and making sure we are doing what the membership wants to do. That is the focus for me and the national office as a whole. It is always looking to improve."

SwiftKey Tablet Keyboard (for Android)
SwiftKey Tablet Keyboard for Android ($3.99) swaps out your tablet's existing keyboard for one that's better designed for thumb-typing, makes smart predictions about what you'll write next, and introduces a Swype-like input method called Flow, which makes firing off quick messages a breeze. ?I was blown away by SwiftKey Keyboard for smaller devices, and was equally impressed with the tablet version.
However, I am dismayed that the two versions?one for Android smartphones and a separate one for Android tablets?are sold separately. I would rather see them bundled together, or the tablet version be made an optional freemium download at a lower price. Either app can be installed on any device, but the tablet version is optimized for large screens and appears to function handsomely on smaller ones as well. The developers concur that it should render correctly, but did caution that using the tablet keyboard on a smaller screen might not be an optimal typing experience.
Using SwiftKey
SwiftKey goes one step further than autocomplete by attempting to deduce your words based on context and your habits. The app presents its predictions in three slots above the keyboard; the center is what it believes is the most likely, and the ones to the left and right are the runners up (see the slideshow for examples). I found SwiftKey's predictions to be uncannily accurate, and much more useful than autocorrect. The catch is you have to train yourself to look at the suggestions and pick one before you complete a word.
In practice, SwiftKey could change the way you type. For instance, if you're frequently firing off the phrase "see you later," those three words are more likely to appear in succession in the app's predictions. Instead of typing out those 11 characters, you may eventually see a suggestion for "see" followed by "you" followed by "later."
SwiftKey's CMO Joe Braidwood explained that the company started with an advanced language model scraped from the largest repository of novel utterances available: the Internet. When you fire up SwiftKey for the first time, it downloads this default database and uses it to power its suggestions. The more you use SwiftKey, the more personal data the app has to draw from, and the more accurate the predictions.
During setup, you can give SwiftKey access to your Twitter, Facebook, and Gmail accounts to fine-tune its prediction engine to your unique mode of speech. This step is entirely optional, but doing so definitely affects the suggestions the app presents.
Admittedly, the app accumulates a remarkable amount of information about how you speak, but for now that information stays on your device. However, the app ignores password fields, and users can easily delete specific suggestions from SwiftKey by tapping and holding them, or the entire language model from the app's settings menu.
SwiftKey also makes changing your default keyboard painless, walking you through each step and providing useful advice like reminders to hit the "back" button when necessary. What's more, the app's default grey on black keyboard with tall, slightly curved keys looks fantastic. SwiftKey also has additional, more brightly colored keyboard themes.
The Words Must Flow
On small screens, I was impressed by Flow, a feature that lets you drag your finger over keys to spell words instead of tapping them out. Releasing my thumb selected the suggested word, hovering over a letter added a double letter, and swirling in the middle canceled. I was even more impressed by Flow on tablets, as the extra screen space made it easier to see what letters I was selecting.
Optimized for Tablets
Compared with SwiftKey for Android phones, the SwiftKey Tablet Keyboard has several tweaks for larger screens. For instance, the keyboard automatically splits in landscape mode, placing clusters of keys on either side of the screen within easy reach of your thumbs. This option is available on the phone version as well, but is not the default. Strangely, if you install the phone version on a tablet, this option is not available.
When in landscape mode, the tablet version can toggle between split key and an enlarged contiguous version of the keyboard. In my testing, I disliked thumb typing on the contiguous landscape keyboard because the tablet rocked back and forth as I strained to reach keys in the middle. However, it was particularly useful for Flow since the are keys closer together.
The tablet edition also includes optimized graphics for larger screens. I installed the phone version on my Nexus 7 for testing and noticed that it didn't look nearly as sharp as the tablet version.
Made for Multilingual
SwiftKey supports 60 languages, including several that use non-Latin character sets. You can select up to three languages at a time, toggling between different keyboards by holding down the space key, surely making life easier for polyglots everywhere.
However, I did notice some quirks on the small screen version. When I activated a Cyrillic keyboard for testing, two of my friend's Twitter user names appeared as top suggestions in SwiftKey. While these would surely disappear with time if I trained SwiftKey by using it more, the app appears to have confused the "@" character at the start of their Twitter handles with a Cyrillic one.
Polished for Prime Time
SwiftKey is one of the few apps to take full advantage of Android by changing something as fundamental as the keyboard, and it looks great doing it. With its smart design, powerful engine, and an array of options, SwiftKey seems as perfect a mobile keyboard as there can be.
Unfortunately, by offering two apps, the SwiftKey developers present a confusing situation to customers. While you can install the small-screen version on a tablet, the app doesn't look as good without the large-screen optimization and lacks the alternate horizontal keyboard format. If you only want to purchase one version of the software, the Tablet version looks good regardless of the device on which it is installed. However, the developers warn that the keyboard may not function optimally.

Accused Colo. gunman could plead insanity
By Keith Coffman
DENVER (Reuters) - Accused Colorado theater gunman James Holmes is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday and enter a plea to charges that he went on a shooting rampage nearly eight months ago that killed 12 moviegoers during a screening of the latest Batman movie.
His lawyers are expected to mount an insanity defense for Holmes, 25, who surrendered to officers outside the theater in the Denver suburb of Aurora within minutes of the July 20 mass killing.
Holmes faces multiple counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder stemming from the rampage that also wounded 58 people and was one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history.
On Monday, Arapahoe County District Judge William Sylvester ruled Holmes could be given "medically appropriate" drugs during psychiatric interviews and possibly face a polygraph test if he chooses to raise an insanity defense.
Holmes' lawyers have argued he should not be drugged while undergoing examinations by court-appointed psychiatrists.
Prosecutors have depicted the former neuroscience graduate student at the University of Colorado at Denver as a young man whose once promising academic career was in tatters.
He failed graduate school oral board exams in June and one of his professors suggested he may not have been a good fit for his doctorate program, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors have 60 days after Holmes enters a plea to decide whether to seek the death penalty. But in a sign that they might be considering such a move, Arapahoe County District Attorney George Brauchler said earlier this year that he was adding a death-penalty lawyer to the case.
Holmes' lawyers unsuccessfully sought earlier this month to have the state's insanity-defense law declared unconstitutional by arguing it requires a defendant to incriminate himself or herself to court-appointed psychiatrists.
Defense attorneys also revealed in pleadings released last week that Holmes had spent several days in a psychiatric unit in November, frequently in restraints, as jail officials believed he was a danger to himself.
Another aspect of the case so far has been Sylvester's efforts to clamp down on leaks.
In January, Sylvester asked that a New York-based journalist for Fox News testify about her sources for a story on a notebook linked to Holmes that went out days after the judge imposed a gag order in the case. The journalist is fighting the judge's ruling that calls on her to testify.
Holmes is accused of strapping on body armor and a gas mask and spraying moviegoers at the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises" with bullets until one of his guns jammed.
Police testified that Holmes began assembling his collection of guns and ammunition two months before the shooting, scouted out the multiplex weeks ahead of time.
Holmes had booby-trapped his apartment near the theater with explosives, which police said was intended to draw authorities away from the movie house while he was carrying out his assault. The bombs were later defused safely.

Video: Dow continues to climb to new heights
>>> as the dow continues its climb after closing at an all time high, the milestone is not celebrating as it would be. the recovery is remarkable because the housing market remains weak. fiscal battles drag on in washington. right now let's take a look. the dow is up 53 points. the coanchor of cnbc's power lunch and from the "new york times" article to what you are hearing from people as well, they see not just the instability in the political system, but in their own homes and the big numbers on wall street .
>> to that, i would add a 30 thing. this is the third time in recent years that the market has sprinted up to all time highs. the first was the year 2000 and 2007 . what happened after that? in 2000 we hit a wall and the bubble burst. there was 9/11 and the economy went down and the market cratered. in 2007 , the market peaked amidst the housing bubble and the house prices peaked and down we went again. this time around, i think people are feeling skeptical like i have been to the rodeo before. that is adding to the muted response.
>> we will play a conversation on the head of " morning joe ." let me play it.
>> this is just literally the 30 stocks, the vast majority have not hired a person during this run up. it is just totally -- disconnected from what people feel. that's why people feel badly.
>> bernanke is the best thing to happen to the stock market . the reality is with the uncertainty of the economy of which the government is not doing much, you have low interest rates for a long time. it's important to understand that 80% of the top companies, there is business is outside of america. there is employment growth, just not happening domestically.
>> the they relate to unemployment and the disconnect.
>> the companies represented in the dow are making more money. one of the key reasons is that they are able to do more with less. fewer employees and many of them as the second guest said, many of those are employed outside of the united states . there has not been job growth that has gone along with the growth in the value of the corporations represented in the dow index. that's the real disconnect. they are expected to grow by 9%. partly because a lot of the companies are lot of products and partly because they have been able to become more efficient and more profitable and that simple translation is a smaller workforce.
>> we appreciate you talking about an incredible day. on wall
