This is Essex --

CRAIG EDWARDS was left to rue the injuries and departures that decimated his starting XI after his Billericay Town side ended their season on a high with a 1-0 win over Maidenhead United.

Jay May's goal was enough for the already-relegated Blues to overcome the Magpies at New Lodge, and although Edwards was pleased with the win, he was left to ponder what might have been.

Having been promoted last season, the Blues were on course for a mid-table finish at the turn of the year, but Saturday's triumph was just their fourth of the calendar year.

Edwards has lost seven players he would consider first-team regulars over the course of the season, and he admits that has made things hard for him.

"It was really unfortunate to lose Charlie Taylor, which left us with two forwards so Alex Osborn and Jay May have had to share the load between them," he said. "We have been a forward light in the run-in, we've been decimated in midfield and at the back we've struggled with injuries.

"We've lost Paul Rodgers who's as good as any full-back in there, we've lost Joe Anderson on the other side, Nathan Green, all quality defenders.

"In midfield we've lost Junior [Luke], Sam Lechmere, Craig [Edwards], and then you take Charlie up front and that's seven frontline players we've lost and we couldn't cope with it.

"We haven't got the budget to go out and replace them with tried and tested. We had to bring in boys from lower levels who we thought could possibly make the cut, but a lot of them to be fair haven't been good enough. But some have done very well. It gives us extra options for next year."

The Blues will be back in the Ryman League Premier Division – a league they won last season – and Edwards hopes to take heed of the lessons learned this term.

He added: "The last week I've probably been busier than I have in the whole time I've been at the club, preparing for next season.

"The next two months are going to kill me. Usually at this stage I think I'm going to have a couple of weeks away, have a holiday but I just can't wait to get back on it and improve on this year.

"It's my first relegation and I learned a hell of a lot. I thought things on and off the pitch weren't right this year and we're going to look to improve."

The club announced their player of the year following the game, with skipper Glenn Poole walking away with players' player and supporters' player of the year.

And although the manager hailed the influence of his skipper, his own award went to Saturday's match-winner May.

He said: "My player of the year was a two-horse race between Glenn Poole and Jay May.

"Glenn has been outstanding, missed one game all season, 16 goals and there's half of me still thinking that maybe I should give it to him. But I've gone with Jay May. I thought he was the one player in the side that we couldn't do without. I think he's had a great season.

"Up to Christmas it would have been Sammy Lechmere, but he's had a series of injuries and lost his way in the second half, but it would have been between those three, but I've gone for Jay."

May's goal at least ensured the season ended on a high, and Edwards was pleased to sign off with a win.

He added: "I said to the boys beforehand that there's no greater feeling for me than winning a game of football. We know we're down, but let's go out with a win, and finish on a good note so the supporters can be upbeat for the summer." Reported by This is 3 hours ago.

*Gearbox and Sega falsely advertised Aliens: Colonial Marines with press demos, according to lawsuit | Polygon*



Sega and Gearbox Software are the defendants in a class action suit claiming the two companies falsely advertised Aliens: Colonial Marines with unrepresentative trade show demonstrations.

The suit, obtained by Polygon earlier today, was filed yesterday in the Northern District of California court by law firm Edelson LLC on behalf of plaintiff Damion Perrine. Citing a number of California civil and business codes, the suit claims that Gearbox and Sega falsely advertised Aliens by showing demos at trade shows like PAX and E3 which didn't end up being accurate representations of the final product.



It's doubtful this lawsuit can succeed in its current state – seeking damages for every consumer who pre-ordered the title seem unrealistic, and it's likely all the early footage came with a disclaimer. However, if it does go through there could be serious ramifications for the industry. Could we see fewer actual gameplay demos? Or will they be followed by several minutes of voice-over disclaimers, like drug ads on US TV?

It's unlikely however, that many games will anger purchasers quite as much as Aliens...

*Nintendo explains Wii U game delays | MCV*



Nintendo miscalculated the development resources required for its Wii U launch titles, the company's president has admitted.

Speaking in a financial briefing Q&A, Satoru Iwata said development of some of its titles had required more resources than it had previously expected, and it was then forced to take developers working on other projects in an effort to complete them in time for the console's launch.



Erm, oops-a-daisy? Seems like a crucial mistake with barely a year's grace before the arrival of the other next-gen machines – although Iwata puts a brave spin on it by insisting that it was the quest for quality that caused the problems. But if Nintendo had difficulty getting team sizes right on the Wii U, it'll be interesting to see how Microsoft and Sony plan things for their own first-party releases.

*"The next generation is going to be, possibly for the very first time, the next generation of game design" | Eurogamer.net*

Great interview with Bulletstorm, Adrian Chmielarz, who has had something of an epiphany about game design:



"Why is Nathan Drake a mass murderer?" Oh I don't know, but it's the question not the answer that's important. It symbolises a seismic shift in attitudes towards games that may mean, 'possibly even for the very first time', that the next generation of consoles also becomes "the next generation of game design".



He discusses his latest project, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter: "a mystery adventure game that sounds dark and violent but will have no combat in it." It looks fascinating.

*Tackling video games' diversity and inclusivity problems at the Different Games conference | Polygon*

A report from Polygon on the recent Different Games conference held at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University in Brooklyn:



In Richard's study, the subjects noted that non-white male characters tended to be stereotypes, while female characters were hypersexualized. Female players had to deal with gendered insults online, while men often received ethnically charged harassment. The men either became accustomed to the abuse, or decided to preclude the harassment by playing with their microphones muted and forming supportive communities with other friends of color. Harassment, Richard pointed out, is an exclusionary practice — it seeks to keep gaming confined to a niche audience of self-styled hardcore gamers.

*Destruction is the new ragdoll, says Havok | GamesIndustry International*

Love this quote from Andrew Bowell, product head at physics middleware specialist, Havok:



"The way that ragdolls became the last generation thing and everything had to be ragdolls, we reckon next generation, everything's going to have to be destructible. It will be no longer acceptable to walk into a room where you can't punch a hole in the wall or break a table and see it splinter."



I can just imagine the gaming forums of the near future: "Uncharted 4 is all very well, but when I tried to punch a hole in Drake's dining table, I couldn't – I'm enraged!"

Australia have named a largely experienced squad for next month's Champions Trophy, but there are places for Nathan Coulter-Nile and Mitchell Marsh. Reported by ECB 41 minutes ago.

This is Bath -- A bright idea for a hyperlocal comparison website updating motorists on the cheapest petrol in their town is struggling to expand because the pair of fledgling IT entrepreneurs behind it are barely old enough to drive. For Adam Gentle, 17, and Nathan Singer, 16, the issue of where the cheapest petrol is in Melksham has become a passion. The two teenagers – one is still months away from getting behind the wheel legally, the other only just issued with his provisional licence – are quickly turning what started as a college IT project into what could be the next big thing on the web. Their website – melkshamfuel.com – has become such a popular site in their Wiltshire home town that they are looking to expand to other towns in the West, and the possibilities are endless. The site itself updates the price of unleaded and diesel at six petrol stations in the Melksham area six days a week, as well as details of any special offers, giving local motorists the chance to pick the cheapest fuel or monitor prices from the comfort of home. The pair launched the site at the end of January as part of their work studying for a Level 3 BTEC Diploma in IT at Wiltshire College's Chippenham campus, little knowing a classroom project would become popular in the real world. It is easy for the two to check the prices – their bus to college takes them past all six filling stations each morning. "We have both been really surprised and thrilled at how popular the site has been, attracting more than 1,400 unique visitors," said Adam. "A friend came up with the idea of creating the site around Christmas time and it took us around a month to get it up and running. Now it pretty much runs itself, but we check the prices to make sure they are correct." As well as providing prices, visitors to the website can also find out information about how to save money by carrying out regular vehicle checks, how petrol prices have changed over the past six years and even find out how many miles to the gallon your car will do based on how much it costs to fill up your tank and how much you fuel cost. The pair have also struck up a deal with international online retailer Amazon and advertise car-related products such as air fresheners and fuel cans as a way of funding their new venture, and have already had interest from local firms. "As it has gone so well we are thinking about expanding Melksham fuel, perhaps into other towns such as Devizes, but we will need a bit of help from other people because we don't drive," said Nathan. "A few of our college friends have already said they would like to help." Their college lecturer, Steve Bollen, the programme leader for IT at Chippenham College, said he was pleased at the success. "I am very impressed at their website and think it is fantastic," he said. "They both had prior knowledge of websites, but it is good to see them using the skills they have learned at college in a practical way," he added. Reported by This is 1 day ago.

*Sea bream in fish fragrant sauce: Fuchsia Dunlop*

This is my attempt to recreate, on a domestic scale, a recipe from the Bashu Weiyuan tucked away on a back street in the centre of Chengdu. There, where they title the dish "Lucky home town fish", they serve a whole sea bass covered in lavish quantities of fish-fragrant sauce, that famous Sichuanese combination of pickled chilli, garlic and ginger with sweet-and-sour flavours. Here, I've suggested using a smaller fish and more modest amounts of sauce.

Serves 2
*stock* 750ml
*sea bream* 1.35 kg, scaled and cleaned, but with head and tail intact

For the sauce
*cooking oil* 2 tbsp
*Sichuan chilli bean paste *2 tbsp (or Sichuan pickled chilli paste if you can get it)
*garlic* 1 tbsp, finely chopped
*ginger*1 tbsp, finely chopped
*stock* 200ml
*caster sugar* 1 tbsp
*potato flour* 2 tsp mixed with 1½ tbsp cold water
*Chinkiang vinegar* 1 tbsp
*spring onion greens* 3 tbsp, finely sliced

Heat up the 750ml stock in a wok. Make parallel cuts 1cm apart along each side of the fish, perpendicular to the spine and all the way down to the backbone (this will help the fish to poach quickly and keep it tender). Lay it in the boiling stock, bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to poach the fish gently. Move the fish around a little if necessary to ensure even cooking. After about 2 minutes, turn the fish and poach for another 2 minutes, by which time it should be just tender to the bone: poke a chopstick into the thickest part of the flesh to make sure (it should come away easily from the backbone).

Remove the fish to a serving dish and pour off the stock for other uses. Re-season the surface of the wok, then return to a medium flame with the cooking oil. Add the chilli bean paste and stir-fry for a minute or so until the oil is red and fragrant. Tip in the garlic and ginger and stir until you can smell their fragrances. Then pour in the 200ml stock and bring to a boil. Mix in the sugar, then give the potato flour mixture a stir and add just enough to thicken the sauce to a thick, luxurious gravy (you will probably need all of it). Then stir in the vinegar, followed by the spring onion greens. Mix well and ladle over the waiting fish. Serve.

*Halibut with chestnuts: Jason Atherton *

Serves 2
*halibut fillets* 2
*garlic cloves* 3, crushed
*bay leaf* 2 sprigs
*thyme* 3 sprigs
*butter* 60g
*chestnuts* 8, chopped
*lemon segments* 2 tbsp, chopped
*small capers* 2 tbsp, chopped
*shallots* 2 tbsp, chopped
*spring greens* 8, blanched and refreshed
*parsley* 2 tbsp, chopped
*fish brown sauce* (see below) 100ml

For the fish brown sauce
*chopped halibut bones, including heads but without the eyes *2kg, washed and dried
*shallots* 3, roughly chopped
*garlic* 1 head
*red wine* 125ml
*brown chicken stock* 2 litres
*thyme* 10 sprigs
*bay leaves* 2
*soft butter* 30g

To make the sauce, heat oven to 180C/gas mark 4 and roast the halibut bones in a roasting tin with shallots and garlic for 30 minutes. Pour into a large heavy-based pan, cover with stock and fresh herbs, simmer for 10-15 minutes, pass through a sieve and reduce by half. Thicken with butter at the end.

To cook the halibut, put a little oil in a non-stick pan then add the fish and crushed garlic and bay leaves and thyme. When coloured on one side, turn over and add 30g butter. When it starts to foam and the fish is cooked, take out the fillets and let them rest. Then add the rest of the butter, and when it starts to foam add the chestnuts, then the lemon, capers and shallots. Cook for a few minutes then add the spring greens and parsley and season with sea salt.

Put the fish on a plate and pour over the fish sauce and add the garnish.

*Spaghetti alle vongole: Angela Hartnett*

A hint of chilli is sometimes found in southern Italian dishes such as this, but it should not overpower.

Serves 4
*dried spaghetti *300-350g
*olive oil* 2 tbsp, plus extra for drizzling
*fresh red chilli* ½ tsp de-seeded and finely sliced
*garlic cloves* 2, finely sliced
*small clams* 500g, scrubbed
*white wine* a splash
*flat-leaf parsley* 2 tbsp, finely chopped
*salt and freshly ground black pepper*

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the spaghetti for about 7-8 minutes, or according to packet instructions, until al dente.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large, deep frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chilli and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until soft but not coloured. Add the clams to the pan along with the wine. Cover and cook over a fairly high heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the clams open. Remove from the heat, then pick out and discard any clams that have not opened.

Drain the spaghetti and add to the clams. Stir in the parsley and drizzle over a touch of olive oil if it looks dry. Season to taste and serve immediately.

*Turbot with mustard: Pierre Koffmann*

Serves 4
*turbot* 4 fillets of 150g
*butter* 120g, softened
*shallots* 30g, very finely chopped
*white wine* 100ml
*fish stock* 250ml
*wholegrain mustard* 1 tbsp
*tomato* 1 large, blanched, skinned, deseeded and diced
*parsley* 1 tsp, finely chopped
*sea salt and freshly ground black pepper*
*fresh tagliatelle* to serve

Preheat the oven to 140C/gas 1. Lightly butter an ovenproof pan or gratin dish and sprinkle on the shallots. Place the turbot fillets on top and pour the white wine and fish stock on to the fillets. Cover with buttered foil. Bring to the boil on the hob, then transfer to the preheated oven and cook for 8-10 minutes. Arrange the fillets on a warm serving dish, cover and keep warm.

Reduce the cooking stock by three-fifths and whisk in the remaining butter little by little. Mix in the mustard and check the seasoning. Sprinkle over the diced tomato and chopped parsley and pour over the turbot. Serve with fresh tagliatelle.

*Coley burger with shallot and cider mustard relish: Nathan Outlaw*

Makes 10 burgers
For the coley patties
*banana shallots* 4, finely chopped
*cloves of garlic* 8, finely chopped
*Dutch red chillis* 6, deseeded and finely chopped
*olive oil*
*coley fillet* 1.5kg, no bones and skin, diced
*chives* 5 tbsp, chopped
*eggs* 3, to bind
*breadcrumbs* 250g
*sea salt and pepper*

For the relish
*banana shallots* 6, roughly chopped
*olive oil*
*cider vinegar* 200ml
*dry cider* 1 litre
*thyme* 3 tsp, chopped
*caster sugar* 200g
*apples* 4, peeled and chopped
*wholegrain mustard* 5 tbsp

*bread rolls* 10
*beef tomatoes* 3, sliced
*rocket leaves* 200g, washed
*pickled shallots *(see recipe below) 100g

To make the relish, sweat off the chopped shallot in a little olive oil for 2 minutes in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the vinegar, cider, thyme and sugar and reduce over a medium heat until the liquid becomes syrupy. When the mixture is syrupy, add the apple and cook until the apple is soft and then add the mustard. Season with salt and pepper and reserve until required in a jar with a good fitting lid.

To make the coley patties, sweat off the shallot, garlic and chilli in a frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil for 2 minutes. Remove the mixture from the pan and allow it to cool down.

Using a food processor, in two batches, blend the coley for 1 minute. Place all the fish into a mixing bowl and add the shallot and chilli mixture, the chives, eggs and breadcrumbs and give it a good mix with your hands until it is well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.

At this stage it is good to fry off a little piece of the patty mix to taste the seasoning as a tester, then you can adjust the seasoning as you like it. When you are happy with the flavour, divide the mixture into 100g balls and then mould them into patty-style shapes. Lay the patties on to a tray and refrigerate until required.

To cook the patties, preheat the oven to 200C/gas mark 6. Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and add some olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the patties and fry for 2 minutes on each side. Place the patties on to an oven tray and put in the oven for 3 minutes.

While they are cooking, slice your bread rolls and add a drizzle of olive oil followed by a slice or two of tomato, some rocket and a few pickled shallots (to pickle shallots, boil together 50g sugar, 50ml red wine vinegar, 50ml red wine, then pour over 2 sliced shallots; leave for 2 hours).

Remove the patties from the oven and place them on top of the rocket and shallots. Top the patties with some relish and serve with more dressed rocket leaves and tomatoes.

Recently, I spoke with Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of Google, and his-coauthor, Jared Cohen, director of Google Ideas, about their new book, The Digital Age: Reshaping the Future of People, Nations and Business. Read this fascinating interview for some of the insights and vision you'll find on every page of their must-read book:


NATHAN GARDELS: You paint an exciting portrait of the arriving digital age where most of the Earth's 8 billion future inhabitants will be empowered through technological inclusion and connectivity. The potential ranges from instant translation to health care through personalized DNA to thought-controlled motion technology for prosthetics.

But you don't shy away from the central paradox of the digital age: The more we know or learn though connected networks, the more is known and learned about us. Every click and search is recorded as "permanent data" on the "cloud." The same apparatus that enables unprecedented connectivity enables unprecedented surveillance of the individual.

As you say in the book, "The impact of the data revolution will be to strip citizens of much of their control over their personal information ... the communication technologies we use today are invasive by design, collecting our photos, comments and friends into giant databases that are searchable ... in the absence of regulation, it is all fair game" -- whether for any snooping government or aggressive marketing company.

What checks and balances are necessary that will favor the potential while limiting the downside of this paradox?

ERIC SCHMIDT: For all the positive potential you noted for the wealthy countries, the empowerment of individuals through mobile devices linked to networks is even greater in places where people have little or nothing in terms of education or even phone landlines for communication.

On the "central paradox" you point out, each country will resolve this issue in a different way. Their response to the empowerment of their citizens will depend on the culture and the trust level of the government. While it is theoretically possible to create a police state that knows everything and tracks everybody, there are many reasons why that is not likely to happen, including the fact, first and foremost, that dissidents will fight against it. There are also technological solutions like encryption that will make it possible to protect private communication.

JARED COHEN: In reality, so far, there is no autocracy that has been fully tested on this point because there is no autocracy that is fully connected. In the future there will be a "dictator's dilemma" as well as a "citizen's dilemma."

The dictator's dilemma arises from the fact that citizens will have multiple identities online. Populations of 70 million will really look more like populations of 500 million. That will create so much noise and activity beyond the capacity of dictators to control no matter how hard they might try.

The dilemma that citizens or dissidents will have in the future is that you can't storm a ministry with a smart phone. At the end of the day, there is a lot that connectivity can do to get people in the streets. But there is a fundamental need for alternative leadership and institutions to go beyond mobilization and actually change regimes.

Connectivity will make revolutionary movements easier to start, but harder to finish.
So, the future of autocratic regimes in the digital age will be some of the old, and some of the new.

ERIC SCHMIDT: Yet, undeniably, the fact that billions more people will be online, even under autocratic regimes, will mean billions more with more options in life or who will be witnesses with smart phones to government repression. Think of all the billions that will come online in rural areas who won't need to urbanize to join the marketplace. Think of the billions who will be able to go beyond rote learning and engage in interactive critical thinking outside the classroom.

NATHAN GARDELS: The other side of the coin of shared data and connectivity, as you say in the book, is the ability now of citizens to "police the police." Some have called this "sous-veillance," or the monitoring of government from below.

Sina Weibo in China is a good example of this. Every day, 600 million people criticize the government through microblogs on every issue from tainted milk to train wrecks and pollution to corrupt officials. Surely this is a huge power shift?

ERIC SCHMIDT: I agree with that. Weibo is a kind of combination of Facebook and Twitter. It could turn out to be a significant political force because it is not completely censorable. Even dictators care about their reputations. Even monopoly governments can be shamed.
In the book we talk about how the Weibo outrage over the Wenzhou bullet train accident led to exposure of the corrupt railroad minister, who was put in jail.

JARED COHEN: We also saw in Juarez, Mexico, how the power of citizen connectivity can shame corrupt officials into cleaning up their act. Citizen activists there were able to photograph corrupt acts by the police on their smartphones and spread the images in the very communities where the police lived. Even in places that have long lived with corruption, this online shaming will ultimately change behavior.

NATHAN GARDELS: In your book you make the fascinating observation about the emergence of two parallel worlds -- the virtual alongside the physical.

Because of the power of Weibo in China, the authorities' strategy is to ensure that no two people allowed to vent on the net ever meet in the street to start another Tiananmen-type protest.

Will the physical repression be able to contain the virtual protest in the end? Will cyberspace one day spill over into real space?

ERIC SCHMIDT: That is a question that must haunt China's leaders: How long can they allow a tidal wave of complaints in the virtual world, but crack down on any action in the real world?

The Chinese I've spoken to believe that, eventually, the digital world will win out. Ultimately, the authorities will run out of police, censors and other tools of oppression.

The citizens will overwhelm the source of oppression against them.

There is a negative view -- that the tools of oppression will create a data record from the virtual world which can ultimately be used to imprison, jail or otherwise terrorize all of the dissidents. In other words, the tools win.

What we are seeing today is a fight between the two models.

JARED COHEN: Yet, we remain optimistic because the population so outnumbers the regime online. The virtual world is a "public square" much more vast than Tiananmen Square. And you can't send in the tanks to crush the netizens.

NATHAN GARDELS: There have been some high profile cyberattacks traced to China, on Google itself a few years ago and more recently those traced to the People's Liberation Army building in Shanghai.

China appears to be the most aggressive in probing others. However, Mike McConnell, who used to run the National Security Agency in the U.S., has said that "everyone is probing everyone else, including the U.S."

What do you know on this front?

ERIC SCHMIDT: We don't know what the U.S. is doing. What we do know is the countries engaged in probing include China, Iran, Israel, Russia and some Western European nations. There is certainly enough documentation to show that these countries, and some subset of them, are continually active.

The problem is attribution. You can't be quite sure who is doing what.

JARED COHEN: In this book we are trying to shift the conversation from one about those established autocracies we know, like China or Iran, to those parts of the world where the infrastructure does not yet exist.

There are only a handful of companies that provide the physical technology infrastructure for connectivity. There are currently four main manufacturers of telecommunications equipment: Sweden's Ericsson, China's Huawei, France's Alcatel-Lucent and Cisco in the United States.
Whichever infrastructure gets there first will help determine whether the future of cyberspace in much of the world will be more free and open or wired for surveillance and control.

NATHAN GARDELS: The term you have coined to describe cyber-conflict of the future is the "new Code War." During the Cold War, effective deterrence was only enabled by transparency -- both the U.S. and Soviets knew which weapons the other had and where they were targeted. We assured each other of mutual destruction.

How will deterrence in the Code War work, particularly when the absence of attribution is a key feature?

JARED COHEN: The ideas of "mutually assured destruction" by attacking infrastructure through cyberwar is certainly something we can speculate about. The Cold War analogy for today touches closer to the "proxy wars" between the U.S. and the Soviets.

To get back to the technological infrastructure point, it will be a battle for the future between open and closed. Some of the closed-minded will be looking to build up their cybercapacity in a new version of the minerals for arms trade.

NATHAN GARDELS: This raises the issue of the fragmentation or "Balkanization" of the World Wide Web into several Internets. Are we are likely to see a "virtual clash of civilizations," with those who extol individual freedom on one side, and those who extol community and religion on the other? Iran, for example, wants to build a "halal Internet."

ERIC SCHMIDT: I'm not sure I agree. We've never had a situation in history where we have this level of individual empowerment, especially in those societies that are more communally oriented.

We don't know what will happen. What is completely new is that there is an empowerment tool for people in every society that they've never had before.

Yes, culture matters. But now culture will inevitably evolve. China, for example, is seen historically as a communal society, but now it's every individual trying to get rich quick.

What will they do now, especially the younger generation, when that individual is so vastly more empowered? Will they stay communitarian, will they be more individualistic? Will they be some combination of both depending on the issue?

As we've discussed, one thing that the virtual world enables is the proliferation of identities, in one individual and within societies and even civilizations. I'm not sure the old boundaries will still apply in the same way we are used to thinking of them.

Here is the bottom line: Good people and bad people are being empowered. How a society responds will determine the outcome.

JARED COHEN: People associate the Internet with the free flow of information. One big question is what happens when the more closed-minded, autocratic societies that come online are told they will be restricted. At a certain point, a critical mass of people either have used the Internet or have expectations. Anything less than the free flow of information will be seen as having something taken away. We've seen time and again, in Egypt and Iran for example, that creates a backlash.

NATHAN GARDELS: The recent Boston marathon bombings and the tale of the Tsarnaev brothers raises the issue of "nuts on the Net." Connectivity empowers the individual, or a small group, asymmetrically, allowing them to cause lots of damage to large numbers of people.

After the IRA bombings in London, the authorities placed closed-circuit TV (CCTV) cameras all over central London. Should we monitor everyone who accesses a jihadist website?

ERIC SCHMIDT: We are not suggesting that. The question about Boston is why there are not more such attacks when so many people are on the Net. That is because the police have been able to foil lots of plots because they are watching.

Recent surveys show that, as in London, people are willing to accept CCTV-type monitoring if it enhances their security. Will it be part and parcel of the digital age, or a momentary response to a tragic event? We'll have to see.

TNT has ordered Michael Bay's "The Last Ship" for a 2014 premiere, the network announced Tuesday.

The high concept drama, starring "Grey's Anatomy" alum Eric Dane, focuses on the hapless crew of the Navy Destroyer U.S.S Nathan James, who are some of the only survivors of a global catastrophe that decimates the world's population. Dane will star as Captain Tom Chandler, who is described as a career Navy man who is authoritative and decisive, but also fair and courageous. A born leader and a loving father and husband, Chandler is respected and loved by the men and women under his command. The 10-episode series is based on the William Brinkley novel of the same name.

The series also stars Rhona Mitra as Rachel Scott, a strong-willed, intelligent and fearless paleomicrobiologist assigned to the Nathan James to investigate the cause of billions of deaths worldwide. Adam Baldwin plays Slattery, the ship's second-in-command who worries deeply about his family and occasionally clashes with Dane's Captain Chandler over the best course of action. Tracy Middendorf plays Darien Chandler, the captain's wife. Hank Steinberg and Steven Kane -- who wrote the pilot -- are also executive producing along with Bay.

"The Last Ship has all the elements of a big Hollywood blockbuster, from its epic storytelling to its top-notch cast headed by the perfect leading man, Eric Dane," said TNT president Michael Wright said in a statement. "Michael Bay and his fellow executive producers have shaped William Brinkley's story and characters into an exceptional drama full of action, suspense, tragedy and triumph. The Last Ship is smart, fun television that takes you on a great ride."

Here's hoping its maiden voyage is less ill-fated than TV's last nautical drama, the similarly titled "Last Resort," which was canceled last November.

Watch an extended trailer for "The Last Ship" below.

Sonoma County Sheriff's deputies arrested Nathan Earl Lee, 45, of Sacramentio, at a hotel at the south end of Santa Rosa on suspicion of human trafficking in Sonoma County on Sunday, according to sheriff's deputies.

Officers responded to the hotel after a report of two females refusing to pay a taxi driver for a fare.

Upon arrival, deputies contacted the two females who were found inside a hotel room with Lee. One of the females asked a deputy for help getting away from Lee. She told deputies she was being physically assaulted, held against her will and forced to work as a prostitute by Lee.

Deputies said one of the females had visible scars.

The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office Domestic Violence Sexual Assault detectives responded and conducted further investigation. They determined that Lee had convinced one of the females to travel to different cities throughout the state and forced her to work as a prostitute.

One of the females was determined to be from out of state and the other from outside the country, deputies said.

Verity and Crossing the Jordan Foundation provided services to both female victims, according to deputies.

Lee was arrested on suspicion of human trafficking, pimping, pandering a person for prostitution, false imprisonment, torture, mayhem and threatening crime with intent to terrorize. Lee was booked into Sonoma County Jail on a $1.1 million bail.
