1-23-11 Cooperstown NY
This weekend, I went to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown NY.
Cooperstown is a little over 7 hours from Pittsburgh, so we drove most of the way on Saturday afternoon and stayed overnight in Binghamton NY.
The next day, we braved the 8 degree weather and snow and made our way to Cooperstown. There were lots of baseball shops lining Main Street on the way to Cooperstown. Unfortunately, since it was Sunday, most of them were closed. The Hall of Fame is open 9AM-5PM daily though.
Here I am outside of the Hall of Fame. (I know, Where's my coat?!)
From Ebbets Field:
There was a large portion on this floor for Hank Aaron
And another section of the third floor was dedicated to Statistics. It featured all major statistical categories with the all time career record holder and active leaders:
Here's a short video of that section of the Hall.
Also nearby was a display case of a ball from every No-Hitter thrown in the major leagues since 1940.
Another brief video:
The next exhibit was a display of World Series rings dating back to the early 1900's.
It was pretty cool.
Here are two short videos of the rings:
Near the exit of the third floor was a large display of baseball cards that included all different kinds of cards from baseball's history. There was another Honus Wagner 1909 card in there.
Another brief video:
We finished our trip by heading over to the library on the first floor which we missed the first time through.
Here is a view of the Gallery from the library entrance:
And the courtyard of the hall of fame with some 18 inches of snow or so burying the statues there:
There wasn't much in this section.
There was a small area devoted to movies:
that had old baseball movie posters
and displays:
The library section was a ghost town, everything was closed there. The Giamatti research center, the museum, the bullpen theater. All of it.
After several hours it was time to go. We left a bit before 3PM and got back home around 10.
It was well worth the trip. I wouldn't buy a membership and go all the time, but it's a must for any baseball fan that has never been there. I'd say there's pretty much something for every hardcore baseball fan there.
Coming up next: Pirates Winter Caravan and Piratefest entries.

Sparrow announced to its users Friday that it was acquired by Google and would transition to Google's terms and policies by Aug. 24.
Sparrow chief executive Dom Leca wrote a short note using the typical cliches given by bought-out tech companies, including "special thanks," "amazing ride" and "excited."
Now we're joining the Gmail team to accomplish a bigger vision — one that we think we can better achieve with Google. . . . We'd like to extend a special thanks to all of our users who have supported us, advised us, given us priceless feedback and allowed us to build a better mail application. While we'll be working on new things at Google, we will continue to make Sparrow available and provide support for our users.
U.S. & World
It has been noted that Sparrow has been a Gmail solution for iPhone users for a while now, so it makes sense for Google to buy it and then incorporate it into its own Gmail app. Still no word on how much Google spent, but if we were to hazard a guess, we would say $10 million.

We are in the final countdown for 2012. That means it's time for me to pull out all my Christmas Reyn Spooners and recognize this year's harbor winners. I attended the Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club's awards banquet and presented at the Balboa Yacht Club's. This weekend is the Harbor 20 Fleet 1 ceremony, which I will be attending; and if I am not mistaken, the Newport Harbor Yacht Club's annual meeting is also this weekend.
Here are this year's big winners from BCYC. It was great fun to see the entire Mayol family come up and accept the Commodore Bussey Award for being the most active family at the club. Erik and Lisa and kids Maxwell and Jake had been up to the stage to bring home quite a few of the junior awards prior to the family award. The Mayol family had a fantastic season this last year, and it was fun to witness. While I am touching on the juniors, I need to give a shout-out to BCYC sailing administrator Shannon Heausler. She made one of the best junior awards presentations I have ever seen and also led one of the best junior programs our harbor has to offer.
|Peter Haynes Accepting Elmer Carvey Memorial
The award I want to win someday is the Elmer Carvey Memorial (formerly Balboa Bay Club Yachtsmen of the Year until 1982), now awarded to the yachtsman who most contributed to the organized yachting community. Past winners of this award have been Cooper Johnson, Jim Emmi, Ted Kerr, Hobie Deny and Lorin Weiss — the list reads on and on with Newport's best yachtsmen. This year's big winner, most deservedly so, is Peter Haynes. Hats off to Peter and a big thank you for all the hard work he is doing for the sport of sailing in Newport Harbor.
Another big award was given to my Harbor 20 skipper Mary Bacon. Mary received the Officers and Directors 1962 award, given to the member for outstanding service to the club. Well done, Mary.
|Marry Bacon Winning the Officers and Directors 1962
Over at the Balboa Yacht Club, Max Moosmann won the Big Boat Sailor of the Year award. Max was everywhere this year, from the Big Boat Series in San Francisco to the Chicago Yacht Club Race to the Mackinac race on the Great Lakes. Max was living the dream this season and sailing on some of our country's best racing sailboats.
This year's Newport High Point winner, Roy Jones, aboard his J 133 Tango, received the BYC High Point Award, Overall 66 Series award and Ocean Racing Sailor of the Year. What an outstanding season, Roy.
|Roy Jones accepting The Newport High Point Series Award
The big winner over at BYC is Kelly Buchan, who received the Sportsman of the Year award, given to the racing skipper who consistently displays outstanding sportsmanship.
Kelly is one of my favorite people in the harbor and will play a big part in sailing's future in Newport Harbor.
I will be sure to update you on who wins the Newport Harbor Yacht Club's Burgee of Merit, Vince Healy Award and Jack and Meta Going Cannon Award once Jennifer sends me over the winners this year.
|Max Moosman BYC Big Boat sailor of the year
As for the group Stop the Dock Tax boycotting the boat parade this year, I have to unfurl my protest flag on this one. Let's not mix politics with the boat parade; you look like a spoiled kid, taking your ball and going home. I say let's have the biggest boat parade ever and have a entry with a big Grinch on it telling people to get involved with our harbor and make sure we have a marine-friendly city council after the next election.
Sea ya.

Schooling for Tomorrow Knowledge Base › Themes
OECD societies have transformed fundamentally in recent decades and continue to do so: A process of individualisation is transforming communities; democratisation and new technology are opening up hierarchical relations; rationalisation in the workplace requires specialisation; and steadily rising levels of income and education make parents more demanding about their children's education.
This section of the knowledge base addresses Schooling for Tomorrow research on specific drivers of social change and their potential effects on educational systems. This is divided into three thematic areas:
Here you will find analysis examining the nature of innovation in schooling to identify emerging models of learning based on examples of national reform initiatives.
This part focuses on the role of information and communication technology (ICT) in quality of learning in schooling as well as lifelong learning, including the role of ICT in networks and partnerships, new forms of management and governance, and new ways to address inequalities in society.
Here you will find analysis on the shift from supply-led systems toward demand-sensitive schooling, and how personalisation of education takes form in response to attitudes and expectations.

|Etching of W. F. Poole
New York Times Obituary
He sure did, 2,600 books, all valued at $1. That portion of his estate was worth $2,600. Why did he have so many books, did they belong to the library or were they actually his? And if they were his, was he going to give them away or donate to the Library. If they were his own, I wonder why didn't he just use the ones at the library and save his money.
Below are copies of the Bill of Appraisement, Agreement with Houghton, Mifflin and Co., and Appraisers' Estimate of the Value of Property Allowed to the Widow.
of the Estate of William F. Poole, late of the County of Cook and State of Illinois, deceased.
One lot of Books (2600 in number) at $1.00 per volume.
Total- $2,600
"Agreement between W. F. Poole and Houghton, Mifflin and Co. of Boston, Mass., dated September 30th, 1890, whereby Houghton/, Mifflin and Co. agree to pay royalty on all sales of 'Poole's Index to Periodical Literature.' The value of said contract is impossible to determine, but Houghten [sic], Mifflin and Company have paid to W. F. Poole from the time of the date of said contract, an average of $350.00 a year thereon."

WASHINGTON – You have probably found yourself at one time or another stopped along Interstate 66. But at least there are now travel times posted for you to look at while stuck in the gridlock. The information went live April 2 at nearly a dozen locations along I-66.
The travel times will be displayed weekdays from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. and weekends from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and are provided by a company called Inrix, which gets them from drivers using their mobile app. Inrix was unable to provide reliable data for the Beltway Express Lanes but could do so for I-66.
Traffic controllers at the Public Safety Transportation Operations Center in Fairfax County will ensure the travel times are successfully relayed to the electronic message signs and are accurately refreshed every five minutes.
Virginia Department of Transportation also wants to post the times at more locations for the 35 miles from Washington to Haymarket. Gov. Bob McDonnell announced there will be 15 additional locations between D.C. and Haymarket to be added by summer.
Since August 2011, VDOT has posted the number of miles and minutes to key destinations at three locations between the Capital Beltway and Gainesville, Va.
"Northern Virginia has the most congested roads in the nation and too many hours and dollars are wasted sitting in traffic," said McDonnell. "Thankfully, together with the General Assembly we have taken historic action this year to produce a long-term, sustainable transportation funding solution."
Eastbound I-66 travel times will be posted on overhead signs:
- East of Route 234, with the travel time to the Vienna Metro
- At the Fairfax County Parkway, with the travel time to I-495
- Near Route 50, with the travel time to Washington, D.C.
Westbound I-66 travel times will be posted on overhead signs:
- At Sycamore Street, with the travel time to I-495
- Before the Beltway, with the travel time to Route 50
- West of Route 123, with the travel time to Route 234 Business
- At Monument Drive, with the travel time to Route 29 in Gainesville
- Just west of the Fairfax County Parkway, with the travel time to Route 29 in Gainesville
- Just west of the Rest Area with the travel time to Route 15 in Haymarket.
On I-95, VDOT has provided travel times since September 2011 at seven locations between Washington and Fredericksburg.

The Chestnut Hill Youth Sports Club is pleased to announce our fourth season of girls' lacrosse for the spring of 2011. We will be fielding the following teams: 1st/2nd grade combined, 3rd/4th grade combined, 5th/6th grade combined, and 7th/8th grade combined. All teams are based on school grade levels, not birth dates. No experience is necessary for any age group.
Registration will begin on January 1st, and will close on January 15th for 3rd/4th, 5th/6th and 7th/8th grade teams. 1st/2nd grade registration will begin on January 1st and remain open through February 15th. To register, go to www.chysc.org and follow the link for girls' lacrosse.
1st/2nd grade level will be instructional only, and will meet once a week on Sunday afternoons in April and May (location TBD). The season will end with a play day (informal tournament) with other local lacrosse clubs. Coaches will be local high school varsity girls' lacrosse players, supervised by an adult Club volunteer.
3rd/4th grade level will be primarily an instructional league, and will meet once a week on Saturday mornings at our Carson Valley fields in Flourtown, and once a week during a weekday evening (location TBD) in late March, April and May. The season will include several round-robin games on Saturday mornings with other local PAGLA (Philadelphia Area Girls' Lacrosse Association) clubs, home and away, and will end with a play day (informal tournament). Coaches will be local high school coaches and/or adult Club volunteers, with girls' high school varsity assistants.
5th/6th grade teams and 7th/8th grade teams will play 8-10 games in the PAGLA East league, comprising clubs in eastern Montgomery and lower Bucks counties, and will participate in at least one playday. We will have tryouts for A and B teams at 5th/6th and 7th/8th grade, with placement based upon ability. We will field a single A team and one or more B teams at each level. It is our intent to offer lacrosse to all girls who sign up; however, we may not be able to form a team or offer instruction at a given age group if we have insufficient numbers (minimum 16 girls/team). According to PAGLA league rules, 6th graders are not allowed to play on a 7th/8th grade team unless the older age group does not have enough grade-appropriate players. The season runs from mid-March to early June. Practice times will be twice a week during weekday evenings, and once during weekends when there are no games. Practices will be at our Carson Valley fields in Flourtown. Games are once a week on Saturdays, with an occasional Thursday evening or Sunday afternoon game. Coaches will be local high school coaches and/or adult Club volunteers with girls' high school varsity assistants.
Fees are as follows: 1st/2nd grade – $45 3rd/4th grade – $70 5th/6th grade – $125 (includes one PAGLA playday entry fee) 7th/8th grade – $125 (includes one PAGLA playday entry fee).
NOTE: Girls at the 5th through 8th grade levels will be required to join US Lacrosse as a junior member at a cost of $25/member in order to play in playdays and tournaments. This fee is not included in the fees above, and shall be assessed at a later date as teams enter PAGLA or PLA tournaments. Supplemental fees shall be assessed to participants in additional tournaments or playdays to cover entry fees.
Girls will be expected to provide their own sticks and eyewear. Note that girls' sticks are different from boys' sticks. Protective eyewear is mandatory at all practices and games. The Club will provide goalie equipment, jerseys, goals and practice balls. Information regarding types of equipment and store locations will be available later.
We welcome parent volunteers to help coach and manage each age group. Please e-mail me at HYPERLINK "mailto:%firstname.lastname@example.com" email@example.com if you'd like to become involved in helping us with this exciting and fast-growing sport.

Despite the recent weakness in job numbers, stock markets are well above their October lows.
Now contrarian Bill Fleckenstein is saying that many are mistakenly looking at the stock market as an indicator that the U.S. economy is doing better than expected.
In his latest piece for MSN Money, Fleckenstein, president of Fleckenstein Capital, has said there is one reason he isn't shorting stocks right now:
"Were it not for the money-printing going on, I would be looking very seriously at getting short, betting stocks will go down. As it is, my enthusiasm is tempered by the fact that it still might be hard to win with that strategy in the current environment even if the market is dealt a large dose of reality in the coming month, as I suspect. I do think the market is quite vulnerable, for a number of reasons, but obviously there is a rather large, oblivious contingent out there."
This dovetails nicely with a point we've been making lately, that investors are divided into fudamentalistas vs. liquidistas.
The liquidistas -- which apparently Fleckenstein is -- don't worry about fundamentals. To them it's all about the policy choices made by the Fed and the ECB. And if the Fed and the ECB have their hands on the pump, then markets will stay higher.

Navigate via the web with the SISNeT receiver
Knowing your precise position anytime via the internet is now possible thanks to the Signal in Space through Internet (SISNeT) technology developed by the European Space Agency.
This technology combines the powerful capabilities of satellite navigation and the internet. As a result, the highly accurate navigation information that comes from the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) Signal-in-Space (SIS) is now available in real time over the internet.
EGNOS is Europe's first step in satellite navigation, paving the way for Galileo. At present it is in its final development phase and will become operational in spring 2004. An experimental EGNOS signal has been available since February 2000 through the EGNOS test bed (ESTB). EGNOS is what is called an augmentation signal: it corrects and improves the signals sent by the American GPS constellation, using geostationary satellites and it offers a precision in the order of 1 to 2 m as opposed to the 15 to 20 m presently available with GPS signals. In addition, EGNOS provides an Integrity signal through which the user can assess in quasi real time how much he can trust the GPS estimated position. The challenge is how to make the best use of this corrected data.
To access it a SISNeT receiver has been developed through a contract between ESA and the Finnish Geodesic Institute (FGI). This device uses three technologies: a pocket ipack type PC, a mobile phone card (GSM or GPRS) and a GPS card receiver. Combining these three technologies: satellite navigation, digital software and internet access, offers a prototype of what looks set to become the tool of the future - a clever computer-phone that knows exactly where it is.
Dr Ruizhi Chen, head of the navigation department at FGI, says that the receiver he created "will evolve in the future, but already the possibilities are tremendous, capitalising on internet capabilities".
Tests have been under way to validate the concept. The SISNeT receiver was installed in a car which, while being driven on the roads around Helsinki, gave its position with an accuracy of less than two metres.
For Dr Javier Ventura-Traveset, EGNOS Principal System Engineer and responsible for SISNeT development at ESA, "this is the first time we demonstrate both the accuracy of EGNOS and the possibility to obtain, in real time, EGNOS navigation data by using the internet."
This receiver is of special interest as it can be used not only in cars but also in many other situations as it is a hand-held device. Access to satellite data via the internet also allows the user to keep on navigating even when out of range of a geostationary satellite, something which can be useful when travelling in towns where buildings interfere with signal reception. Indeed SISNeT extends the service area of EGNOS to regions that can only be reached by EGNOS with difficulty as, in combination with mobile links, it can be used in urban areas.
For the time being, the receiver is made out of existing elements designed for other purposes, but commercially viable receivers are now being developed in cooperation with several European industries. Once the Galileo European satellite navigation system is deployed in 2008, this receiver will offer accurate satellite navigation services, with all the advantages of internet access. As Javier Ventura-Traveset says, "the use of SISNeT is only limited by our imagination!".

Two vastly different films about the scourge of slavery in America, a thriller about the rescue of American hostages in Iran and a study of the dogged quest to capture one of the world's most wanted men -- Osama bin Laden -- were among the top nominees Thursday morning for the Golden Globe awards.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., made up of journalists from around the world, put their focus on U.S. events with their nominations for best dramatic films of the year.
The Civil War epic "Lincoln," which revolved around the 16th U.S. president's efforts to end slavery and the Civil War, scored a record seven Golden Globe nominations for director Steven Spielberg. The nominations included best director, best picture, and best actor honors for Daniel Day-Lewis, best supporting nods for Tommy Lee Jones and Sally Field, as well as best screenplay and score. By contrast, his 1993 classic "Schindler's List" earned six Golden Globe nominations.
"Django Unchained," a spaghetti Western opening on Christmas Day, revolves around a slave turned bounty hunter. It earned five nominations including best picture, best director and screenplay for filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, and two supporting actor nominations, for Leonardo DiCaprio and Christoph Waltz.
Ben Affleck's political thriller "Argo," about the courageous operation to recover American hostages in Iran in 1980, also received five nominations, including best picture, director, screenplay, score and a best supporting actor nod for Alan Arkin.
And then Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty," which chronicles the 10-year-search for Al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden, earned four nominations, including best film, director, screenplay and best actress for Jessica Chastain. It opens Dec. 19.
Rounding out the best dramatic picture nominees was Ang Lee's "Life of Pi," about an amazing journey of two shipwreck survivors: A young man and a tiger. The film also earned nominations for best director and score.
The nominations wrap one of the most closely watched weeks of the awards season, which kicked off Monday with the announcement of nominations for the Critics' Choice Movie Awards, followed by the SAG Award nominations. The films and performers honored this week gain front-runner status leading up to the Academy Award nominations, which are to be announced Jan. 10.
Swimming upstream with three nominations Thursday morning was one of the biggest surprises of the award season: "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen." The quirky romantic comedy was nominated for best comedy or musical picture, and also earned best actor and actress nominations for stars Emily Blunt and Ewan McGregor.
On the TV side of the nominations, HBO's drama "Game Change" -- chronicling Sarah Palin's 2008 vice presidential run -- earned the most nominations with five, including a best actress nod for Julianne Moore. "Homeland" followed with four nominations and "Downton Abbey," "Modern Family" and the TV movie "The Girl" picked up three apiece.
There's also a suggestion that the love affair with "Mad Men" may be coming to an end. The AMC period drama that has dominated award shows in recent years was noticeably missing from the best dramatic TV series nominees, although it did pick up a nod for star Jon Hamm. Earlier this year, the show failed to take home a single Emmy.
It was another good morning for veteran actress Maggie Smith. The 77 year-old -- who earned the most Screen Actors Guild Award nominations Wednesday -- picked up two Golden Globe nods for best actress in a comedy or musical for "Quartet" and for best performance in a supporting role for the TV series "Downton Abbey."
Joining Day-Lewis in the best actor in a dramatic movie category are Richard Gere for "Arbitrage," John Hawkes for "The Sessions," Joaquin Phoenix for "The Master" and Denzel Washington for "Flight."
Vying for best actress in a dramatic motion picture along with Chastain are Marion Cotillard for "Rust and Bone," Hellen Mirren for "Hitchcock," Naomi Watts for "The Impossible" and Rachael Weisz for "The Deep Blue Sea."
There were several surprising omissions Thursday morning. Both "Les Miserables" director Tom Hooper and "Silver Linings Playbook" filmmaker David O. Russell failed to earn directing nods. Also shut out: Robert De Niro, who has earned several nominations this awards season for his supporting role in "Silver Linings Playbook."
And the critics' darling, "Beasts of the Southern Wild," failed to receive any nominations.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. divides its film honors between drama and comedy or musical, opening up of the field that led to best picture nominations for "Les Miserables," "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel," "Moonrise Kingdom," "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" and "Silver Linings Playbook."
Joining Blunt and Smith as nominees for best actress in a comedy or musical are Judi Dench for "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel," Jennifer Lawrence for "Silver Linings Playbook" and Meryl Streep for "Hope Springs."
Vying with McGregor in the best actor in a comedy or musical category are Jack Black for "Bernie," Bradley Cooper for "Silver Linings Playbook," Hugh Jackman for "Les Miserables" and Bill Murray for "Hyde Park on the Hudson."
On the TV side, the nominees for best dramatic series are "Breaking Bad," "Boardwalk Empire," "Downton Abbey," "Homeland" and "The Newsroom."
The nominees for best comedy or musical series are "The Big Bang Theory," "Episodes," "Girls," "Modern Family" and "Smash."
Earning nominations for best miniseries or motion picture are "Game Change," "The Girl," "Hatfields & McCoys," "The Hour" and "Political Animals."
The Golden Globes are to be presented Jan. 13 live on NBC from the Beverly Hilton Hotel, with Amy Poehler and Tina Fey as hosts. The two will also be competing against each other that night in the best performance by an actress in a TV comedy or musical category, with Fey earning a nomination for "30 Rock" and Poehler scoring a nomination for "Parks & Recreation."

Since winning a modelling contest in 1996 and moving to New York as a teenager, Adriana Lima has grown used to being an ambassador for her country.
A familiar face on fashion runways and the front covers of magazines, the supermodel has latterly branched out into acting, projecting the exoticism and warmth Brazilian people are known for.
And like her compatriots, the Bahia-born beauty is a passionate football fan. Thrilled at the prospect of Brazil hosting the FIFA Confederations Cup next year and the FIFA World Cup™ a year later, she was an obvious choice to take part in the FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013 draw, to be held on 1 December at the Anhembi Exhibition Centre in Sao Paulo.
Taking time out from her busy schedule to talk to FIFA.com, Lima discussed her participation in next month's draw and her love for the game of football.
FIFA.com: How did you react when you were asked to attend the FIFA Confederations Cup draw?
Adriana Lima: When I first heard I was invited to the draw I was so excited. I am a big sports fan and I'm really relishing the opportunity to participate in such a wonderful event. I am honoured that FIFA asked me.
There's always football fever in Brazil as it's such an important part of our culture.
Do you think football fever will hit Brazil when it hosts the Festival of Champions, a full year before the FIFA World Cup?
It will definitely get the fans in the mood for it. In any case, there's always football fever in Brazil as it's such an important part of our culture. We are thrilled to be hosting the FIFA Confederations Cup and the World Cup.
You're something of an ambassador for Brazil around the world. How do you think the rest of the world will see the country after it hosts theFIFA Confederations Cup and the FIFA World Cup?
I know that Brazil is going to make a positive impression on everyone who'll be taking part. I think it's fantastic that the eyes of the world will be on Brazil during the Confederations Cup and the World Cup. It's a wonderfully diverse country with a rich cultural history that will be there for everyone to see during the tournaments.
Have you noticed a change in how Brazil is seen abroad? Have people been saying things about ithosting the FIFA Confederations Cup and the FIFA World Cup?I've only heard positive things about Brazil staging the tournaments and I think everyone around the globe is excited about it. Who wouldn't want to come to Brazil?
You've been travelling around the world non-stop since a very young age and have visited a lot of places. What is it that makes Brazil and its people stand out? If you had to give people one reason to come to the FIFA Confederations Cup and the FIFA World Cup, what would it be?What stands out most about Brazil is how friendly people are. There are lots of different reasons why people should come here, like the atmosphere, the style of football and the warm welcome you get from Brazilians. We are very warm people and we accept everyone with open arms. We love our football and our everyday way of life, and I think we have a knack for bringing a little bit of joy to people's lives. So not only are you going to witness an incredible football competition, you'll maybe learn how to samba too.
The FIFA Confederations Cup and FIFA World Cupwill give Brazil the opportunity to promote its culture, including its fashion industry, through a series of parallel projects.What impact do you think such high-profile events will have on the country's cultural scene?
They'll give fans a taste of Brazilian culture and I hope they'll be impressed by it. There are a lot of amazing fashion designers and artists here and this is a great chance for them to come together and receive the international acclaim they deserve.
Not only are you going to witness an incredible football competition, you'll maybe learn how to samba too.
And what's your connection with football? Who are your favourite team?I enjoy watching all types of sport and I love watching Brazil. I grew up in Bahia with my grandfather, who was a huge fan of Vitoria, Bahia's biggest rivals. There's no love lost between the two, but I've managed to end up liking both teams.
What memories do you have of the FIFA Confederations Cup, and will you be in Brazil next June?
My most recent memory is the 2009 [final] win over the United States, which was a great victory for Brazil. Hopefully they can win the title again in 2013. And yes, I will definitely be in Brazil next June!
Brazil will be up against teams of the calibre of Spain, Italy and Uruguay in theFIFA Confederations Cup. What are their chances of winning and who are your favourite players in the side?
I think Brazil have a great chance to win the trophy again in 2013 because they'll feel like they have an extra man with all the support they'll get from our fans. My favourite player is Neymar.
*One last question, about the FIFA World Cup this time. What's your favourite memory of the competition? *Every FIFA World Cup is special. To see people showing their pride in their country is truly inspiring.

There's been a lot of ink spilled in the past week over how we ought to think about the late Robert McNamara. (And yes, real ink, not just virtual – even the remaining real newspapers were in on it.) Does the fact that he came to realize that the Vietnam War ("McNamara's War" to some) was wrong even as he continued to pursue it as Lyndon Johnson's Defense Secretary make him a better or a worse person? And what of his willingness to say it publicly – but only three decades later? There may be a more useful way to think about him, however. And it involves considering him not in conjunction with, say, Henry Kissinger, who followed a course similar to his but apparently without hesitation, but more in terms of General Smedley Butler, someone who did learn from his experience.
Butler, of course, achieved far greater clarity than the ever-hedging McNamara did. Butler's story is fairly well known: four years after a military career that included service in Cuba, China, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Mexico, Haiti, and France, he wrote a book called "War is a Racket." He gave speeches in which he would say things like, "during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism."
Whether any of this later-in-life understanding made Butler a better or worse person I do not know. What I do know, though, is that what Butler was willing to say and write was extremely helpful to more than one generation of antiwar activists: "Hey, you don't have to take my word for it. Listen to this guy, he should know."
Likewise, I suggest to no one that they should get over their antipathy to Robert McNamara if that is what they feel – the evil that he and Kissinger and the rest did will long outlive them. And anyone who no longer hates the criminals should certainly remain outraged at their crimes. But let us take something of value out of McNamara's life.
When we encounter potential military recruits looking to serve in one of the nation's seemingly always available wars but not looking too closely at exactly what it is we're fighting for because they assume our leaders wouldn't lead them astray on matters of life and death, let's tell them about Robert McNamara. If the man in charge of one of our wars could later write that what the US did at the time was "wrong, terribly wrong," don't we all owe it to ourselves to take a closer look at where those in power are leading us today?
And when it comes to questioning the conduct of modern war, it's hard to beat McNamara's comments in Errol Morris' documentary film "The Fog of War": "We burned to death 100,000 Japanese civilians in Tokyo — men, women and children," he told Morris. "[General Curtis] LeMay said, 'If we'd lost the war, we'd all have been prosecuted as war criminals.' And I think he's right. He — and I'd say I — were behaving as war criminals." And that was World War II he was talking about – the "good war." Words to keep in mind the next time one of our drones accidently bombs a wedding.
A remark of McNamara's made during a C-SPAN discussion of his 1995 memoir, "Retrospect: The Tragedy and Lessons of Vietnam," is a good reminder of just how infuriating he could be, right to the end. In regard to Vietnam, he told his interviewer, "We were fighting -- and we didn't realize it -- a civil war. Now, true, obviously there were Soviet and Chinese influence and support and no question that the communists were trying to control South Vietnam, but it was basically a civil war."
Well, if McNamara didn't know it was a civil war, it wasn't because tens of thousands of the war's opponents hadn't said so or because President Eisenhower hadn't publicly acknowledged that Ho Chi Minh would have been elected president of Vietnam in a fair election.
But even if McNamara may never have been a man to be taken entirely at his word, what he went on to say on C-SPAN that day might just have some value today as the US plunges deeper into an already nearly eight year old war in Afghanistan: "And one of the things we should learn is you can't fight and win a civil war with outside troops, and particularly not when the political structure in a country is dissolved."

A LONG-TIME drug user collapsed in the street after taking a powerful form of amphetamines around an hour before, an inquest heard.
Duncan Stuart Cameron, 48, had used the drug for some time, alongside a cannabis habit, Burnley Coroner's Court.
But his former partner Alison McCourt said he appeared to go 'off his head' shortly after taking what later turned out to be PMA – paramethyoxyamphetamine, known on the street as 'killer', or 'Dr Death'.
Mr Cameron, of Regent Street, Nelson, was returning home from a friend's house with Ms McCourt on August 23 last year, before taking off his T-shirt, complaining of cold sweats, before collapsing in the street.
Ms McCourt, who immediately called for an ambulance, said: "The result of what he had taken was different from normal.
"It seemed to send him more off his head than it normally did."
Later she told the inquest that he told her he had taken some 'phet' at their friend's house, but she had not seen him using it.
"He was laughing and joking, but then he went really wobbly, like he was drunk, and then he really flipped. He was perfectly fine when we left his friend's house," she added.
Consultant pathologist Dr Walid Salman, who conducted a post-mortem examination on Mr Cameron, said there was evidence of levels of PMA in his system which could be associated with a fatality.
Recording a drugs-related death verdict, East Lancashire Coroner Richard Taylor said Mr Cameron clearly could not have expected that the drug would have had that effect on him when he initially consumed it.
- PMA, a class A drug also known as 'pink ecstasy, creates a huge serotonin rush among users and was linked to a number of 'party' deaths last summer across the UK.

"The Hills" star Audrina Patridge has reportedly split with singer Ryan Cabrera.
"She ended things about a week ago," a source told People. "There were issues in their relationship. But a lot stems from his partying ways."
The reality star beauty might have reportedly dumped Ryan, but he appears to be taking it in stride.
According to the mag, he hit up Los Angeles' Trousdale lounge on Tuesday with a group of friends and was seen chatting up an unidentified woman who was reportedly a dead ringer for his raven-haired ex.
"He was grabbing her hands, whispering to her, smiling and they were laughing together," an eyewitness told the mag.
Despite his late adventures, a different source told the mag, "[Ryan] still wants to work things out [with Audrina]."
Before dating Ryan, Audrina was rumored to be getting cozy with "Star Trek" stud Chris Pine – rumors that neither confirmed. On the current season of "The Hills," Audrina is still dating Ryan, while fielding advances from co-star Brody Jenner – who in true "Hills" style – hooked up with Kristin Cavallari on last night's episode after getting rejected by Audrina.
Prior to dating Audrina, Ryan dated Ashlee Simpson.

Unusually, he was able to gain permission from all his subjects.

BOSTON - For-profit hospice agencies had a higher percentage of patients with diagnoses associated with less skilled care and longer lengths of stay (LOS) in hospice, than their nonprofit counterparts, a difference that may leave "nonprofit hospice agencies disproportionately caring for the most costly patients," Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center researchers report.
The findings appear in the Feb.2 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
"There was a big increase in the number of for-profit hospice agencies from 2000 to 2007, and previous work has shown that those agencies tended to have significantly higher profit margins than their nonprofit counterparts," said lead author, Melissa W. Wachterman, MD, MPH, a palliative care physician and research fellow in BIDMC's Division of General Medicine and Primary Care. "The Medicare per diem payment rate is the same, regardless of patient diagnosis, location in which care is received (for example, private home versus nursing home), or length of stay, and we wanted to know whether for-profit and nonprofit hospices were responding differently to potential financial incentives inherent in the Medicare Hospice Benefit."
Researchers examined a nationally representative sample of patients discharged from hospice, primarily due to death (85 percent) in 2007. In all, data from 4,705 patients, representing an estimated 1.03 million patients discharged from hospice nationwide, were analyzed, looking at diagnosis, location of care, length of stay, and number of visits per day by different hospice care providers.
The data showed that nonprofit hospice agencies had a higher proportion of the types of patients who required more visits from skilled care providers than for-profit agencies. For example, nonprofit agencies had a higher proportion of cancer patients, while for-profit agencies had a higher proportion of dementia patients. Cancer patients required more visits per day from skilled personnel such as nurses and social workers than patients with dementia. Wachterman explains that patient selection of this nature has important policy implications because caring for dementia patients rather than cancer patients "could be financially advantageous for hospices under the current capitated reimbursement system."
However, it is important to note that "clinicians caring for patients considering hospice can be reassured that for-profit hospices provide as many nursing visits to patients with a given diagnosis as nonprofit hospices," adds senior author Ellen McCarthy, PhD, MPH, an epidemiologist at BIDMC and a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.
The study also looked at length of stay and found that the median LOS for patients in for-profit hospice agencies was four days longer when compared with nonprofit hospice agencies. Because there are considerable fixed costs at the time of enrollment in hospice and again at the time of death, longer stays are "thought to be more profitable," the study noted.
The significant differences between for-profit and nonprofit hospice agencies mean that hospices serving the neediest patients "may face difficult financial obstacles to providing appropriate care in this fixed per-diem payment system," explains Wachterman.
These findings may "have potentially important implications both for clinicians taking care of patients at the end of life and for policymakers in the area of Medicare hospice payment." The study may help inform current debate around payment reform in the Medicare Hospice Benefit.
The Medicare Payment Advisory Committee (MedPAC) has recommended a U-shaped reimbursement plan that considers the intensity of care required at the beginning and end of a hospice stay. The plan also recommends that a higher per diem rate be paid for the first 30 days of enrollment and a standard payout be made at the time of death.
Study coauthors include BIDMC investigators Edward R. Marcantonio, MD, SM and Roger B. Davis, ScD. This study was supported through funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration of the Department of Health and Human Services to support the Harvard Medical School Fellowship Program in General Medicine and Primary Care.
The study was deemed exempt by the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center institutional review board because the researchers used publicly available deidentified data.
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is a patient care, teaching and research affiliate of Harvard Medical School, and consistently ranks among the top four in National Institutes of Health funding among independent hospitals nationwide. BIDMC is clinically affiliated with the Joslin Diabetes Center and is a research partner of Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center. BIDMC is the official hospital of the Boston Red Sox.
