NEW YORK (AP) ? Vernon Wells broke out of his big slump with a pinch-hit, three-run double, and the New York Yankees rallied to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-5 on Saturday.
Wells was in a 9-for-87 slide that landed him on the bench the past two days, with rookie outfielder Zoilo Almonte starting in his place. But with the Yankees trailing 5-4 in the seventh inning, Wells batted for No. 9 hitter Chris Stewart with the bases loaded and two outs.
Wells' drive to right-center bounced above the top of the wall, where it hit a fan's glove and was ruled fan interference.
The umpires allowed all three runners to cross home plate, determining David Adams would have scored from first base if not for the fan interference. They sent Wells back to second, but the Yankees suddenly had a 7-5 lead.
Rays manager Joe Maddon argued that it should have been called a ground-rule double, with only two runs scoring.
Tampa Bay led 5-3 after top prospect Wil Myers hit a grand slam for his first career home run in the sixth.
Wells' clutch hit got CC Sabathia (8-5) off the hook after he allowed five runs in seven innings. Mariano Rivera worked a scoreless ninth for his 26th save.
Meanwhile, Almonte kept up his hot hitting, starting in Wells' place in left field. On Friday night, he went 3 for 4 with a home run. He was 1 for 2 with two walks and three RBIs on Saturday.
David Robertson came on after the Yankees took the lead and pitched a perfect eighth with two strikeouts.
Joel Peralta (1-4) took over for the Rays in the seventh and immediately got in trouble. He loaded the bases on two walks and Lyle Overbay's double, and was pulled for Jake McGee.
McGee struck out Jayson Nix for the second out but walked Adams to force in a run, the second time the Yankees scored on a bases-loaded walk.
Wells then batted for Stewart, who was 0 for 3 with a double play to end a second-inning threat.
The Rays trailed 3-1 when the Yankees intentionally walked Evan Longoria with two outs to get to Myers.
The rookie came in hitting .190 in five games since he was called up from the minors at the beginning of the week. He'd had exactly one hit in four straight games before going 3 for 4 on Saturday in his first start as a designated hitter.
Longoria was 2 for 2 with a double and a solo homer that accounted for the Rays' lone run when the Yankees intentionally walked him. On a 1-2 count, Myers hit a high fly to center. Brett Gardner jumped at the fence and the ball bounced off the webbing of his glove and into the stands, though it appeared to already be over the wall when he touched it.
Rays rookie starter Alex Colome is yet to allow an earned run over 10 innings in two career starts. He gave up three unearned runs, five hits and five walks with three strikeouts in 4 1-3 innings.
With two outs in the third, Almonte singled on a two-strike count to drive in two runs and give the Yankees a 2-1 lead. He walked with the bases loaded in the fifth.
NOTES: Myers became the second player in club history to hit a grand slam for his first career homer. Jorge Velandia did it in 2007, also against the Yankees. ... Rays LHP Alex Torres allowed no hits and struck out three in 1 2-3 innings, extending his scoreless streak to open the season to 20 innings. ... Yankees 2B Robinson Cano had a career-high four walks. ... RHP Ivan Nova (2-1) looks to extend his career record against Tampa Bay at Yankee Stadium to 5-0 on Sunday, the park's 67th Old-Timers' Day. Rays RHP Chris Archer (1-3), their second straight rookie starter, is 0-5 on the road in his career.

In this week's Ask A VC epsiode, we had Canaan Partners' Maha Ibrahim in the studio to chat about her perspective on social gaming, and more. Ibrahim, who has worked at Canaan since 2000, invests in cloud, social gaming and digital media companies for the firm. We raised an interesting question to Ibrahim--why aren't there more female VCs in the industry? According to a recent report, of the 25 most active VC firms in 2011, only 8% of their investment professionals were women. Many of these firms don't have female investment professionals at all.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/MVOujLzM9Q4/

Farrah Abraham.
"Teen Mom" turned porn star Farrah Abraham visited "The Howard Stern Show" Wednesday morning to set a few things straight. And with all the recent headlines about her personal woes and image overhaul, she had plenty to say.
Here are a few highlights from her chat:
Accidental porn
Apparently the host doubted Abraham's story that her sex tape -- which she claims earned her a seven-figure payday from Vivid Entertainment -- was never meant to go public. But no matter how many times Stern asked about it, she stuck to her story.
In fact, she continued to allege that her tape co-star, James Deen, forced an otherwise private video to go public.
"I was put in a bad situation, and I took care of it in a legal way, and I came out ahead," she insisted. "I'm very proud of that."
And as for the "haters" who don't believe her, she shot back, "I'm not a whore. I'm not a slut."
DUI? IDK
Abraham also addressed her March arrest for DUI. She told Stern, "I was legally drunk, but I definitely remember the whole night and police acting like idiots to me."
She went on to accuse the Omaha, Neb., officers of telling gossip site TMZ about the arrest.
"Why make it a bigger issue?" she asked. "They didn't even give me a sobriety test. They didn't do things legally."
Math is hard
While she had no trouble blaming her public sex tape on her co-star or her legal woes on the police, the former "Teen Mom" did have a hard time explaining one of the simplest of subjects -- just how old she was when she had her daughter, Sophia.
"Wait a minute! I just have to straighten out some math here," Stern's on-air partner Robin Quivers said. "You said that your daughter is 4. ? You're 22. That would mean you had your daughter when you were 18."
"No, I didn't," Abraham insisted. "I had my daughter right before I turned ? 17."
Which makes sense, considering the fact that she got her start on MTV's "16 and Pregnant." But as Quivers noted, something just doesn't add up with those ages.
"Lots of people always try to do math, but the tricky thing is, it's when Sophia's birth and when my birthday is," Abraham attempted to explain. "They're just a couple months apart, so that usually equals (that) I'm just a little older."
Confused? So is she, evidently.

Just about eight weeks ago or so, I was on a call with Zynga?s COO David Ko following the company?s first quarter earnings report. Zynga was trying to manage expectations for the coming two quarters by saying it had paused its game slate to re-evaluate every upcoming title on the table.
I can?t remember the exact question I asked, but it was something like, ?Finland?s Supercell made $104 million in profit on a headcount of 100 last quarter while you made $4 million in net income with roughly 3,000 people. Does your headcount and structure make sense??
Ko, who has a reputation as a savvy operator and is very media-trained, dodged the question saying, ?We?re the biggest believers in social gaming across all platforms. This year, we will measure our progress by our ability to bring existing franchises to mobile while maintaining profitability.?
However, even if some Zynga employees were caught off guard by this month?s layoffs, the writing was very clearly on the wall. A company that had grown up built for one platform (Facebook), wasn?t well-adapted for the realities and economics of building titles on Android and iOS.
They aren?t the only publicly-traded Western gaming company grappling with major platform shifts affecting the entire industry. In the first half of this year, both Zynga and EA have shed roughly 1,500 jobs. While their situations are unique, both rounds of layoffs have to do with the stagnation of gaming platforms like consoles and Facebook against the rise of iOS and Android.
While there are plenty of emerging mobile gaming companies like Supercell and King, the situation raises a question I?ve been thinking about for the last several months.
Is the venture model of funding gaming companies, which prizes a large exit through a sale or IPO and rapid growth, well-suited for a new world where companies can rise and fall as quickly as their hits climb and tumble off the charts? Are we in a period where new incumbents will rise up and eventually hold on to their dominance, or are we in a new era which is just inherently more chaotic and unpredictable?
Zynga, which took around $850 million in venture funding, put huge pressure on itself to grow quickly. In Zynga?s fastest-growing days, the company was adding at least a person a day on average. That has ultimately made it difficult to maintain a cohesive company culture and adapt to rapid industry shifts.
Toward A Dividend-Based Model?
While gaming startups may need some initial capital to market their titles, they can throw off lots of cash if they?re successful. Meanwhile, the IPO door is closed in the short-term because of Zynga?s lackluster debut, and the market for large nine- or 10-figures exits is quiet as giants like EA and Zynga re-strategize. At the same time, while barriers to entry are rising, the network effects that the biggest companies have aren?t as strong as they used to be in the console era where relationships with retailers and distributors mattered.
I?m not the only one who is thinking this way. Perhaps with fewer exit opportunities and lots of potential cash flow, dividend-based returns just make more sense.
On a call last week with longtime EA executive Neil Young, who sold early mobile gaming company Ngmoco to DeNA for up to $400 million and is now on a new non-gaming startup N3twork, said that gaming financing needs to be rethought.
?The restaurant financing model might work for games. You could get a payback through a new split of dividends,? he said.
Then there are smaller investment firms like iVentureCapital out of Hamburg, Germany, a traditional hub for browser-based gaming companies, that has backed gaming companies like Kamcord and is open to earning dividend-based returns.
Still others are experimenting with contracts for revenue share instead of outright ownership. Rizwan Virk, who co-founded and sold Gameview Studios to DeNA, then invested in Tapjoy, Pocket Gems and Funzio, which was eventually acquired by GREE for $210 million, said he?s been asked by developers in the last few months for advice on how to structure these kinds of deals. He added that each case is really unique and that he doesn?t have a blanket recommendation for going one way or another.
?What?s happened in the last six to 12 months is that VCs and even a lot of super angels aren?t investing in as many game startups anymore. So the companies with funding ? the ?haves? like the VC-backed startups and big mobile guys ? are turning into publishers or funders of games in exchange for a revenue share with the developers, or the ?have nots?,? Virk said. ?This becomes a way for developers to not give up a big chunk of the company for a relatively small amount of money.?
There are also several very successful mobile gaming companies like Minecraft-maker Mojang and Temple Run-maker Imangi Studios that have gone for years without taking outside venture funding.
Why might a dividend- or revenue share-centric model make more sense? Here are a couple factors to consider:
Haves And Have Nots
One dynamic that?s been interesting to watch as the mobile gaming industry has matured over the last couple years is a mutual disdain that certain gaming founders and venture investors have for each other.
Studios that are successful can throw off in excess of $1 million per day. (Supercell last said it was earning $2.4 million per day. That?s like printing a Series B round every week.) So the ?haves? definitely don?t need funding. If anything, many of the rounds that have happened over the last few years like with Rovio and Supercell, have been secondary ? meaning founders, early investors and employees took cash off the table. The capital didn?t go into the companies.
At the same time, other studios like Temple Run-maker Imangi Studios, Minecraft-maker Mojang, Backflip Studios and Subway Surfers-backer Kiloo, haven?t taken funding because they haven?t wanted it or the terms weren?t right.
And the ?have nots,? whether they?re companies that have yet to see a major hit or need cash to keep going in a lull, obviously find it hard to raise on decent terms. Booyah, an early, hyped mobile gaming company founded by Blizzard alums and backed by Kleiner Perkins and Accel, is on its third CEO in two years.
Certain top-tier venture investors, likewise, can be wary of the hits-driven nature of the business. Greylock doesn?t have a mobile gaming bet, although their China fund does with Hoolai. Sequoia hasn?t publicly made a bet on a mobile game development company since Pocket Gems in 2010, although they?ve backed educational app makers and players that help the broader ecosystem monetize like Chartboost.
The concern is that with a hits-driven business, an investor might come in with too large a valuation if they price a company at its peak. The company could later fall off if they don?t have other follow-up hits.
Because of the hits-driven nature of the business, you could even say that Supercell took a knock on its valuation. At a $770 million valuation, the company was priced at only about 1X its annualized revenue based on the $179 million it made in the first quarter of this year. Then at a $2.27 billion market cap, Zynga is valued at only $600 million more than the cash, short-term and long-term investments it had on its balance sheet at the end of March.
Equity Structure
Secondly, the normal equity breakdown ? which is a perennially touchy issue for any company ? makes even less sense for a gaming company.
In a business with really strong network effects, like a marketplace like Airbnb or a social network like Facebook, the first 20 employees almost certainly have more impact on the trajectory of a company than the 1000th or 1500th employees, who arrive once a company has momentum.
But in a gaming company, which by nature has lumpy and unpredictable revenues, a 500th employee is arguably equally capable of producing the next great multi-million or billion-dollar franchise as the 50th. So the reward structure has to reflect that. It probably has to differ from the large equity drop-offs that you would normally see between earlier and later employees in a typical venture-backed company. At this point, Zynga is going to have a hard time recruiting the best talent in the world given the layoffs, the present size of the company and the earlier PR nightmare it had with equity clawbacks.
Companies like Supercell are trying to fight this dynamic by building a strong culture that prizes talent and creative risk-taking. In their secondary round earlier this year, they gave all employees the opportunity to take roughly 16 percent of their stake in the company off the table.
The Exit Market
Lastly, it?s hard to read the tea leaves right now and understand whether the IPO market is just in a temporary lull for gaming companies, or whether there is something more long-lasting and structural at play.
Right now, it?s difficult to make the case for any freemium gaming company to go public unless they can prove they have a model that defensibly and reliably produces revenues and hits. With the decline of their player base on the Facebook platform, Zynga?s debut has damaged short-term IPO prospects for other gaming companies. Competitors like Kabam have released basic earnings figures to send a message to public market investors that the whole category isn?t bad.
But the two or three companies that might have a shot at an IPO have too short a track record. Supercell has two games, Candy Crush Saga-maker King only came to mobile platforms last fall and Kabam has been on iOS for a year and a half. The exit market for large acquisitions in the West is also quiet now as EA and Zynga go back to the drawing board, and Japanese companies like GREE and DeNA work through their last round of U.S. deals.
Public market scrutiny has also been tough for Zynga as it works through this transition. The amount by which their shares have sold off has to be intimidating for any gaming CEO considering listing in public markets.?For a lot of companies that want to preserve their unique cultures like San Francisco-based midcore game maker Kixeye or Supercell, it just makes sense to stay independent and private for the foreseeable future.
So we?re looking at a host of companies that have stayed private, generate huge amounts of cash and may stay that way for awhile. What this means for investors and employees is that they?ll have to sit tight and wait for the M&A and IPO market to heat up again. Or financing will have to change, so that stakeholders can be rewarded in a different way.
There Are Still Believers, Though
To be fair, nine out of the top 10 grossing games in the U.S. iOS market today are from venture-backed or publicly-traded companies. Funding from top-tier firms does tend to go toward really good teams. Plus, with marketing and production costs rising, many gaming companies do need capital to start off.
Yet no money comes without strings attached. While Supercell is conscientiously trying to hold off the pressure to grow too fast, the investors who went in on the last round ? IVP, Atomico and Index ? are effectively betting that the company will be worth at least $2 or 3 billion some day.?And Kabam, which has taken at least $125 million in funding, may be too large to be acquired at this point and may have to wait for the IPO market to clear.
But for gaming startups being founded today or for investors looking at the space, the market seems ripe to find new ways to fund creative talent.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - As Iran heads into presidential elections this week, Iranians have mixed views on political roles for religious figures but a large majority backs sharia law, according to a poll published on Tuesday.
As part of the Pew Research Center poll that shows contradictions between republicanism and theocratic rule in Iran, 40 percent of Iranians said religious figures should play a large role in politics.
Twenty-six percent said religious figures should have some influence in political matters. Thirty percent said they should have not too much or no influence.
Iranians vote on Friday among six candidates for a successor to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Within Iran's mix of clerical rulers and elected officials, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has the final say on such big issues as Tehran's nuclear program.
The Pew poll showed that 83 percent of Iranians say they favor the use of sharia, the Islamic legal and moral code.
Only 37 percent of Iranian Muslims think their country's current laws follow sharia very closely. Forty-five percent say existing laws adhere to Islamic law somewhat closely.
The poll was based on face-to-face interviews in Iran with 1,522 Iranians ages 18 and older conducted between February 24 and May 3. The margin of error is 3.2 percentage points.
A separate poll by Pew's Global Attitudes Project shows that a median of 59 percent of people surveyed in 39 countries have an unfavorable opinion of Iran. Twenty percent have a favorable opinion.
Sixty-one percent of those surveyed said Tehran does not respect the personal freedoms of its people, Pew said. Eleven percent said it does.
The survey was conducted from March 2 to May 1 among 37,653 respondents. The margin of error among the 39 countries ranged from 3.1 to 7.7 percentage points.

LONDON -- Video messages from Steven Spielberg and actor Ben Kingsley were on the order of play for the launch of a National Film and Television School (NFTS) fund for young filmmakers named after British movie legend Richard Attenborough.
Attenborough, directed by Spielberg in Jurassic Park (1992), was the subject of a celebratory evening named the "Entirely Up To You, Darling" gala after his famous catchphrase.
Attenborough was personally unable to attend the dinner and fund launch, so his son Michael thanked the NFTS and those paying tribute on his father's behalf.
The charitable fund aims to raise $1.55 million (?1 million) over two years to "enable talented young people to achieve their ambition as successful filmmakers through world class educational experiences."
PHOTOS: Cannes: Steven Spielberg, Nicole Kidman Attend Awards Ceremony
Attenborough's films include eight-time Oscar winner Gandhi, Cry Freedom, Chaplin, Oh! What a Lovely War, A Bridge Too Far, Shadowlands, Brighton Rock, I?m Alright Jack, 10 Rillington Place and Jurassic Park.
In his taped message, Spielberg described Attenborough as one of his "favorite people on the planet."
Said Spielberg: "He?s made some of the best movies of all time -- he made Gandhi! -- and has made such a contribution to society, to cinema and to everyone whose hearts he has touched with his words, works, his leadership and that divine inspiration that radiates from that wonderful smile."
The event Tuesday, closed to the press at the request of Attenborough's family, was hosted by Stephen Fry and also included guests Michael Caine and his wife, speeches from David Puttnam, the former Columbia TriStar chief, and a video message from former prime minister John Major.
It also included a live auction of donated items including a pair of glasses worn by Kingsley in Gandhi, costumes worn by Daniel Craig and Naomi Harris in Skyfall and a portrait of Attenborough by artist Bryan Organ.
Michael Attenborough said: "It was thanks to a Leverhulme scholarship to RADA at the age of 17, that my father was able to go on to enjoy a career that included acting in, producing and directing more than 70 Oscar and BAFTA winning films, so he is delighted that this new fund in his name will help young filmmakers, from all backgrounds, reach their full creative potential."
NFTS director Nik Powell said: "We are deeply grateful to Lord Attenborough for the leadership he has provided and his tireless fundraising. This new fund will ensure we can continue to deliver world-class educational experiences to the best current and future filmmakers."

Rocket Internet-backed Lamoda, a fashion-focused e-commerce site in Russia, has announced that it has landed a $130 million (RUB 4.2 billion) round of funding from a range of regular Rocket Internet co-investors:?Access Industries, Summit Partners and Tengelmann Group.
Lamoda calls the deal ?the largest investment ever made in Russian e-commerce? and it follows a similarly significant windfall for Zalora, Lamoda?s sister site in Southeast Asia, which raised $100 million in March. Zalora?s raise included capital from Summit Partners and Tengelmann Group too.
Founded in 2011, Lamoda claims to see more than 20 million monthly visitors across its two Russian sites, which it says?offer more than 1 million products from some 800 international fashion brands. Like Zalora, the site is aiming to bring quality e-commerce services to Russia, a market that has been under-serviced by the likes of Amazon, eBay and others thus far. (Although competition is heating up since?Amazon just arrived in Russia?and top local retailer Ozon booked?$232 million in sales in the past six months.)
The company says it already provides next-day delivery to more than ten cities in Russia, and this new investment will increase its focus on raising the level of service and products available in more cities, according to co-founder and CEO Niels Tonsen:
?The investment allows us to continue building out our position as the leading fashion e-commerce retailer in Russia and the CIS. We are focused on offering the best possible customer experience paired with a unique product offering of local and international brands. With Lamoda Express we are already serving important parts of Russia with next day delivery. We will use the new investment proceeds to make this unique value proposition available to ever increasing numbers of our clients this year and beyond.?
Rocket Internet got a reputation for creating ?copycats? of successful business models with a view to making a quick buck through acquisitions ? such as CityDeal which?sold?to Groupon for $126 million ??but, as the recent funding deals show, the notorious German incubator is changing its approach with the emerging market businesses.
As Zalora Managing Director?Michele Ferrario told TNW in a recent interview, a number of Rocket Internet-backed companies are aiming to build industry leading e-commerce firms in emerging markets like Southeast Asia, Latin America and Russia. That necessitates a long-term plan, plenty of investment and input from a range of experienced backers ? such as proven retail groups like Tengelmann.
These companies aren?t without their problems ? demanding work schedules and a lack of equity are viewed as key factors for high turnover rates among staff ? but Rocket Internet and its investors are putting huge resources into bringing a new level of services to these markets, and that shouldn?t necessarily be dismissed as copycatting.

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) ? A lawyer says a prosecutor has appealed a sentence that a court gave to a Tunisian feminist for possessing pepper spray as not harsh enough.
Amina Sboui is a member of the Ukrainian feminist group Femen.
Known by her pseudonym Amina Tyler, she shocked Tunisia by protesting the treatment of women by posting topless photos of herself on Internet.
In May, she was arrested in the central city of Kairouan while planning another protest. She was convicted of carrying pepper spray and fined about $180 under an 1894 law against carrying "burning objects."
Defense lawyer Mokhtar Jannene said Monday that a prosecutor is demanding the maximum sentence of six months.
Sboui remains in prison while the court also considers other charges against her.

I'm having learning about 2d arrays in class and i want to reinforce what ive have learned. So i have started to make a basic tic tac toe game. The problem im having is i dont know how to make it so my graphic object prints out in a 3 by 3 grid. this is the code i have so far.
import java.applet.*; import java.awt.*; public class tic extends Applet { int[][] test = new int [3][3]; public void paint(Graphics g){ for (int i=0; i < test.length; i++) { for (int j=0; j < test[i].length; j++) { Expo.drawRectangle(g,100,100,40,50);// ths is just a class im using to draw the rectnagles } System.out.println(" "); } } }

That will get you squares along the diagonals. Think about the inner loop as iterating through each row. At the conclusion of an iteration of the outer loop, a row has been drawn.

So in your inner loop, you want to go along the x-axis. After your inner loop terminates, you want to go to the next row (travel along the y-axis), but then reset your x-position. So:(x1, y1) | (x2, y1) | (x3, y1) (x1, y2) | (x2, y2) | (x3, y3)
