Broadway star Bernadette Peters coming to the Mahaiwe
GREAT BARRINGTON -- Tony Award-winning Broadway megastar Bernadette Peters is coming to the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center in October.
Tickets go on sale in late summer.
Peters will perform material from her extensive Broadway songbook at the Mahaiwe's annual fall gala on Oct. 12. This year's honoree is Jane Iredale, founder, president and CEO of Iredale Mineral Cosmetics and a longtime board member of the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center.
Peters' performance is among several additions to the Mahaiwe's 2014 schedule announced Tuesday by Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center executive director Beryl Jolly. Highlights include concerts by bluesman Buddy Guy, jazzmen The Bad Plus and Joshua Redman, and pop singer-songwriter Natalie Merchant.
"Our 2014 season will celebrate legendary stars from the blues to Broadway ," Jolly said in a news release. "We're very happy that our audiences have been responding so strongly to this range of programming."
Tickets to Guy, Redman, and Merchant go on sale to Mahaiwe members at noon on Fridayand to the general public at noon on March 20. Tickets for all other shows are on sale now.
Peters recently starred on Broadway in the revival of Stephen Sondheim and James Goldman's "Follies." Prior to that, she starred opposite Elaine Stritch in a revival of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's Tony Award-winning "A Little Night Music."
She received both the Tony Award and Drama Desk Award for Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Song and Dance" and went on to earn a Tony Award, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award for her starring role as Annie Oakley in the Tony-Award winning revival of "Annie Get Your Gun."
Peters also received Tony nominations for her work in "The Goodbye Girl," "Sunday in the Park with George," "Mack and Mabel" and "On the Town" and earned a Drama Desk nomination for her portrayal of the Witch in Sondheim's "Into the Woods."
She is the co-founder, along with Mary Tyler Moore, of Broadway Barks!, an organization that promotes the adoption of shelter animals.
Merchant and her band will be at the Mahaiwe at 8 p.m. on July 5. She began her musical career as the lead vocalist and lyricist of the pop music band 10,000 Maniacs and released two platinum and four gold records with the group. She has also collaborated both on stage and in the studio with a wide range of artists, including Philip Glass, Wynton Marsalis, David Byrne, The Chieftains, Mavis Staples, REM, Daniel Lanois, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Tracy Chapman, Dan Zanes, Billy Bragg, and Wilco. She performed at the Mahaiwe last summer with the Hudson Valley Philharmonic.
Blues pioneer Buddy Guy -- Rock and Roll Hall-of-Famer, six-time Grammy winner and guitar hero to Jimi Hendrix -- comes to the Mahaiwe at 8 p.m. on July 11. With nearly 50 years in the music industry, Guy's long list of achievements includes dozens of awards, among them the Presidential National Medal of Arts and Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime contribution to American culture. The bluesman recently released "Rhythm & Blues," the first double-set album of his career.
At 8 p.m. Aug. 8, the Mahaiwe will present a double bill featuring contemporary jazz artists The Bad Plus (Reid Anderson, Ethan Iverson and David King) and modern jazz saxophonist Joshua Redman.
In addition to these concerts, Jolly announced a screening of the 1968 film "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" starring Dick Van Dyke (Sunday afternoon at 4); an encore broadcast of the London's National Theatre in HD production of "War Horse"; and public tickets for the previously-announced school matinee concert by the Martha Redbone Roots Project.
Martha Redbone Roots Project will perform as part of the Mahaiwe's arts and educational programming for both schools and families at 10 a.m. April 11. Redbone's music flows equally from her award-winning blend of Native American elements with funk and her deep roots in Appalachian folk and Piedmont blues. The Roots Project is Redbone's tribute to her heritage and reflects a deep communion with the spirits of her ancestors.
Redbone will give a concert and include a cultural talk with students incorporating her Native American, African-American, and Appalachian roots.
Online ticketing is unavailable for this event. Tickets may be purchased only by phone at (413) 528-0100 or by visiting the box office during box office hours.
There will be two encore broadcasts of the London's National Theatre in HD stage production of "War Horse" -- 1 p.m. on March 19 and 7 p.m. April 19.
Since its first performance at the National Theatre in 2007, "War Horse" has become an international smash hit. Based on Michael Morpurgo's novel and adapted for the stage by Nick Stafford, the production takes audiences on a journey from the fields of rural Devon to the trenches of First World War France. The production features life-size puppets by South Africa's Handspring Puppet Company, who bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to life on stage.
Complete information is available online at mahaiwe.org or by phone at (413) 528.0100.

NHS data will not be sold: Hunt
Insurance companies will not be able to buy patient medical records through the controversial NHS data scheme, the Health Secretary has announced.
Jeremy Hunt is to legislate on the care data programme to appease some of the concerns that have been raised about the scheme.
Mr Hunt plans to provide "rock-solid" assurance to patients that confidential information will not be sold for commercial insurance purposes, the Department of Health said.
He is to put a raft of measures in place including a statutory requirement that any patient's opt-out will be respected and legislation that will prevent the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) - the body which will control the data - from sharing personal information where there is "not a clear health or care benefit for people".
A Department of Health spokeswoman said that this "puts beyond any doubt that the HSCIC cannot release identifiable, or potentially identifiable, patient data for commercial insurance or other purely commercial purposes."
The HSCIC will also be bound by new laws to protect patient confidentiality when anonymised data is released. And any researchers who wish to access identifiable data must demonstrate "an ethical reason to do so".
He will also give an expert body which advises on releasing identifiable patient data statutory footing.
"The principles around this programme, which will bring real benefits to patients, are fundamentally right, and we completely support them," a source close to the Health Secretary said.
"But, alongside a new campaign from NHS England to explain the programme to the public and GPs, we also need to ensure that robust legislation is in place to address their concerns."
The care.data programme was pushed back until the autumn after NHS England, the body behind the scheme, bowed to enormous pressure from patient and medical groups including the Royal College of GPs and the British Medical Association (BMA).
Patients, doctors and other professional organisations, raised concerns that they had not been given enough time to learn about the project.
NHS England has said it will work with patients and professional groups to promote awareness of the scheme.
The idea behind the programme is to link data from GP records with information from hospitals to give an idea of what happens to patients at all stages of the NHS.
The data that will be extracted from GP systems includes information on family history, vaccinations, referrals for treatment, diagnoses and information about prescriptions.
It will also include biological values such as a patient's blood pressure, body mass index and cholesterol levels. Personal confidential data will also be taken, such as date of birth, postcode, NHS number and gender. The written notes a GP makes during a consultation will not be extracted.
The data will be held by the HSCIC and anonymised by officials there. Fully anonymised data will be made available publicly to anyone outside the NHS.
Data considered to be potentially identifiable - for example where a patient in a small town has a rare disease - will only be released to approved organisations for the specific purpose of benefiting the health and social care system.
Many including a large number of medical research organisations have backed the scheme, saying it will alert the NHS when standards drop, help create a better understanding of what happens to people, especially those with long-term conditions, who are cared for away from hospital, and provide information needed to assist and support research into new medicines, prevention and treatment of disease.
Professor Sir Simon Wessely, King's College London's Institute of Psychiatry, and President-Elect of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, said: "It is excellent to see that NHS-E is indeed responding swiftly to the concerns that have been expressed in many quarters. Many will particularly welcome the strengthening of the sanctions for corporate misuse.
"But it is perhaps more important that there is no headlong rush towards a 'quick fix' here, and I hope that NHS-E will take as long as is necessary to ensure that the new arrangements are not just 'fit for purpose' but are widely seen and acknowledged as such."
Liam Smeeth, Professor of Clinical Epidemiology, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: "These look like sensible proposals that are really a welcome tightening up of procedures. My hope is they will reassure the public that their confidential data will only be used responsibly and that they will not be able to be identified from it.
"The benefits to the NHS and the health of the population of England of being able to use these data are huge. The new explicit legislation will, I hope, mean people do not feel the need to opt out but will allow their data to go forward and be used for the good of all."
Professor Peter Weissberg, Director of Research, British Heart Foundation, said: "The British Heart Foundation welcomes what appears a genuine attempt by government to rectify some of the issues that have emerged over the past couple of weeks.
"What this appears to do is to enshrine the underlying principles of who controls the data and who has access to it (or perhaps more importantly, who doesn't) in law, which is what the data watch community was asking for. Hopefully, this will provide the reassurance over data handling that some patients were concerned about.
"However, as ever, the devil will be in the detail and there is always a risk that rushed legislation can sometimes backfire. We will need to see exactly what the proposed legislation looks like before we can give it our full backing."
John Parkinson, Director of the Clinical Practice Research Datalink, said: "The use of anonymised health record data to improve the delivery of care based upon up to date clinical guidelines and the flow of new and powerful treatments cannot be off anyone's list of important tasks. Neither can doing it in a way that ensures there is trust in the system.
"This all means maximum use of the anonymised data under very tight control, noting that some of the researchers do work for pharma companies and are required to ensure that medicines in everyday use have the right balance of benefit to risk.
"The NHS is unique, based upon a number of important factors, in being able to provide anonymised data, for what are reasons of excellent Public Health. It also needs to be at the forefront of data stewardship, trust and motive. These moves are part of that process that build upon the already large contribution of the use of data in the interest of public health that has been on going without detriment to privacy for many years."
Professor Nigel Mathers, Honorary Secretary of the Royal College of GPs, said: "We are very grateful to the Government for listening to the concerns of GPs and for meeting the assurances sought by the RCGP in order to ensure that patients' data is protected.
"Care.data is a vitally important project that has the capacity to bring enormous health benefits to patients up and down the country.
"However it was critical the Government was able to give the assurances the profession has been seeking, as without them the whole enterprise was at risk of sinking without trace due to a crisis of confidence among GPs and patients."
"What is now needed is a stepped-up publicity campaign to raise awareness of care.data and the safeguards that will exist, so that people are able to make an informed decision about whether to exercise their right to opt out."

A Doncaster teenager was fighting for her life last night after being injured in a suspected hit-and-run.
Eighteen-year-old Danielle Stoton was left critically injured and put on a life support machine after an incident involving a car in Hatfield Lane, Armthorpe, in the early hours of Sunday. Police have arrested two women, aged 23 and 26, in connection with the incident and both have been bailed pending further enquiries.
Danielle's distraught parents are keeping a bedside vigil in the neuro-critical intensive care unit at Sheffield's Royal Hallamshire Hospital, where their daughter has been receiving treatment for head injuries.
Mum Michelle, 41, said she and husband Paul, 46, have been 'kept going' by the incredible support shown by the people of Armthorpe and friends further afield.
She said she and Paul spent all Sunday night reading tributes on social media site Facebook to each other.
"We had tears rolling down our faces but sometimes they were tears of happiness at the positive messages sent by people and the love for Danielle," she said.
"We would so love to hear good news about Danielle from the doctors. We have been given the worst case scenario but we're not thinking of that.
"We can't thank everyone at the hospital enough. They are simply wonderful and Danielle is monitored every single minute. This 24 hours is so important."
Danielle, of Harris Road, Armthorpe, was walking home from a party when tragedy struck on Sunday.
The bubbly teen has recently lost six stone in weight and was really enjoying life, said her mum.
She was working at Greggs in Frenchgate after finishing a tourism course at Doncaster College and hoped to do a course in sport science from September in a bid to become a personal trainer in the RAF.
Her sister Yasmin has come home from Turkey, where she works for an international holiday company, and family and friends are supporting each other as they wait for developments.
They know Danielle has suffered some brain damage but it is not known how severe it is until she wakes from her coma.
Good will messages were posted on Facebook to the family.
Claire Louise Griffin said: "She will come through it – she is a tough cookie and has an amazing family and friends. Thinking about you so much Dani."
Kirsty Turner said: "Keep fighting princess. Been thinking about you all night. Lots of hugs and prayers are with you."
Zoe Godfrey wrote: "Thinking of you all Michelle. We love her loads and want her to fight the way only Danni can. Big hug to you all."
And Sophie Bouse said: "What makes Danielle beautiful is her bubbly personality and her confidence and no-one can take that away from her. Come on Danielle we think you have had enough sleep."
One well-wisher said: "Danni is from Armthorpe and the girls here are all fighters...you can pull through Danni, all Armthorpe is behind you."

The Democratic governor on Thursday told reporters nothing had changed about his opposition to the measure banning most abortions 20 weeks into a pregnancy after the Senate voted to override his veto. The House a day earlier overrode his veto.
The measure took effect immediately after the Senate vote.
Beebe also wouldn't say whether he'll veto another bill that would ban abortions 12 weeks into a pregnancy. The Senate gave final approval to that prohibition earlier Thursday. Beebe has said that restriction is more problematic than the 20-week ban he vetoed.

Well *****es, today's the day.
I will be sure to regale you with tales of fear & loathing at the dealership should they apply, which they most certainly will.
Driving nearly 2 hours away to get this deal, it better be worth it.
I have a 2010 SUV Pathfinder 6 cylinder thats what you need, once you get it you can't go wrong.
I think I got dealt a ****hand, but what is done is done.
I think I am lucky that the 4Runner I traded in even survived the 2 hour trip without one of the wheels flying right off, or blowing the tranny.
Anyway went with the '13 Toyota Highlander, needed that 3rd row seat in the worst way. Now my wife will steal it on me all the time.

Congrats on your new car. Best of luck.
Also JT I saw this gif and thought of you
Was your old one a 4runner or did you get a lemon?
The 3rd gen 4runners are the best.
The new ones suck. And the newest ones have some kind of weird "unibody" design... shame they had to ruin a good thing.


text: TADA! I arrived in Wyoming last night. We survived our great adventure! Its so pretty here I think living here will not be much of a hardship at all (lol). I love country and this is country. I can see many years of happiness here ahead. Jaba was a terrific hostess and cooked a marvelous home cooked dinner last night. Exactly what I had been craving for days. No more burgers blicko ever again or at least for a really long time. I am ready to be in and set up like two days ago. guess patience is a virtue that I was short changed on!

Last edited by deilenberger; 01-10-2013 at 05:38 AM. Reason: added year/model to title
I have the exact setup on my 09 RT. I did not want to cut any wires in case me or someone else wanted a different set up down the road. The wire from the gps fits nicely in the groove between the clear plastic nacell and the dash panel. I just pressed the wire in the groove at the top and ran it around to the bottom. I planned on using a hot glue gun to secure the wire but it hasn't budged just by pressing in it.
Underneath I just looped the harness and secured it to the frame with wire ties under the dash. No drilling, very easy. Took 5 minutes. I can try to take pic if you like.
Good luck.

My first post on here!
I just mounted my GPS on a wonderlich mount on my new-to-me RT. I didn't want to mess with drilling anything just yet, so i routed the wire over to the top of the windscreen riser. If you watch the windscreen go up and down you'll notice the very top of it never interferes with the gap in the top of the dashboard. I used a cutoff zip-tie to hold down the wire.
Here's how it looks:
Just need to find better screws and paint the heads black!

Please read: http://forums.bmwmoa.org/showthread.php?46055 You might imagine that you'll get more relevant replies if people who own the same bike and have installed a GPS open the thread, so I've added that info to your thread title. Please do so yourself in future posts to the tech forums.
BTW - adding your name to your "SIG" (look under "Settings" at the top of the page, then under "My Profile" "Edit Signature") makes this a painless exercise, it will be automatically added to every post you make (just like mine below), and adding some other info like bike year/model and perhaps your location will help people think of you as a person, not an alias named "Geozad".. Just a thought.

1956 Ford F100 - Orangeade
Truford, A Ford In A Ford
The Swiss Army Knife is a worldwide icon, known for its unique design, myriad-tool function, and symbol of Swiss ingenuity. It folds up like a closed fist and then opens with multiple blades and tools. That was the initial idea that John Lamar and his son Hunter from Statesboro, Georgia, had in mind when building their incredible '56 Ford F-100 pickup. Why build one like everyone else?
A boxed TCI frame is the foundation of this athletic hauler, with its stainless steel A-arm independent front suspension aided by a pair of Lecarra coilover shocks. The rear four-link locates the Currie Ford 9-inch differential that was stuffed with 3.55 gears and allows its vertical travel, while the diagonal bar eliminates any lateral movement. A set of four Wilwood disc brakes with 13-inch cross-drilled and ball-milled rotors are squeezed by a pair of four-piston calipers. The Wilwood master cylinder and calipers are linked by stainless steel hard lines with braided stainless steel end lines connecting to each wheel cylinder. The front suspension rolls on a pair of polished aluminum 17x8-inch American Racing Torque Thrust II wheels consumed with P235/55R17 Goodyear Eagle tires. Out back the 20x10-inch American Racing Torque Thrust II wheels were wrapped with P275/55R20 Goodyear Eagle rubber.
The team at Dingler Racing from Atlanta, Georgia, were responsible for machining and assembling the '78 Ford 528ci engine producing 625 hp and 630 lb-ft of torque. The Edelbrock Torquer II polished aluminum intake manifold was capped with a Holley 1080 four-barrel carburetor. An MSD Blaster 2 coil provides a mega electrical charge to the Mallory distributor that directs the electric current through the Ford Racing 8mm ignition wires. A pair of Sanderson ceramic coated headers direct the burnt gases from each cylinder into a pair of MagnaFlow mufflers. The stainless steel exhaust system was frenched into the TCI framerails then exits underneath each running board by way of four individual tips per side. A SPAL electric fan draws air through the Be Cool aluminum radiator that maintains a cool engine and Ford C6 automatic transmission with Moroso tranny cooler and a 2,500 stall converter. A March billet aluminum serpentine pulley system links the March power steering pump, crankshaft, alternator and air conditioning units together. An Optima battery was frenched into the front inner fender of the engine compartment for starting duties.
The '56 Ford F-100 body was patched, sanded, primered, and block sanded smooth by Keith Beaucher. A front tilt hood was borrowed from an '81 Buick Lesabre. To allow the Ford big-block to nestle itself into the engine compartment, the firewall was recessed three inches. The dump bed vertical motion is powered by a pair of Dakota Digital power linear actuators. To showoff the cab-back frame, driveline, and rear suspension a Lexan floor with stainless steel stringers were installed. A radio power antenna was frenched into the rear passenger side cab corner. The factory grille, headlight buckets, and front and rear bumpers were sent out and rechromed. To draw attention from vehicles following, a Ford script third brake light was installed. Then Keith sprayed it with multiple coats of House of Kolor Tangelo pearl and PPG silver for the competition stripes. Keith then buried the Tangelo base coat and silver stripes with multi coats of clear.
Opening the door exposes the stitchwork of the crew at Jerry's Upholstery in Statesboro, Georgia, with a pair of '99 Dodge Stratus bucket seats that were covered with soft charcoal leather and matching charcoal carpet. The smoothed dash was given a new look by installing a three-inch dropped panel. A custom-made fiberglass center console with airbrushed real fire separates the bucket seats. A chrome ididit tilt steering column is capped with a Billet Specialties Torque Thrust leather-covered steering wheel. An easy to reach Lokar shifter was positioned onto the center console. Creature comfort is maintained by a Coyote A/C and heating system.
The Sony/Alpine audio sound system was installed and wired by Larry Weaver from Lyons, Georgia. Larry mounted the Sony Xplod Drive-S MP3 head unit into the custom center console, which is powered by an Alpine amplifier. A neat sub enclosure houses a pair of Xplod 12-inch subwoofers that are hidden behind the bucket seats and powered by another Alpine amplifier. A pair of Xplod 6--inch speakers were located in the kick panels.
John and his son Hunter are on a quest to have Carroll Shelby sign the dash of their Ford GT600 pickup.
Hunter was the recipient of the Young Gun Award at the '08 Ford F-100 Super Nationals in Knoxville, Tennessee.

The plan, being developed by Portland, Ore.-based consultant John Fregonese, would if implemented make Baton Rouge the second city in the Bayou State to operate streetcars, joining venerable standout New Orleans, 80 miles to the southeast. The plan is expected to be unveiled for public comment this April.
Fregonese told local media plans call for a three-mile streetcar line traversing Nicholson Drive from Louisiana State University to North Boulevard Town Square in the city's downtown. "There is an amazing set of opportunities that present themselves right there," Fregonese said. A proposed second phase would extend streetcar operations from Town Square to the State Capitol building.
Cost of the project's first phase is estimated to be $60 million, with the project estimated to take three years to construct.
Baton Rouge last saw streetcar service in April 1936.

No country can rival America's success in assimilating immigrants. From its inception, the United States has received wave upon wave of newcomers. And despite the staggering numbers, it has done an incredible thing. It has turned not just the distant descendants of those millions of migrants, but also their grandchildren and even their children, into ordinary Americans.
In Europe, no country has come close to doing that—even though, as you might think, the smaller number of immigrants ought to have made the task easier. This is a huge difference, and one that now matters for a new reason. To see why, look at Britain. With renewed urgency after last month's bombings in London, the United Kingdom is grappling with domestic Islamic terrorism. The issue of unassimilated immigrants compounds and complicates that problem in ways that Americans, with their very different historical experience, may find difficult to understand.
For years, mainstream British politics has preferred to ignore the issues posed by the country's unassimilated Muslim minority. As in other parts of Europe, efforts to inject those questions into organized politics were apt to be dismissed (often with good reason) as bigotry. Now, for the first time, the issue refuses to be ignored. It has moved to the center of national politics.
Last week, in response to the July attacks on London, Prime Minister Tony Blair announced plans for harsh new anti-terror laws. These would include powers to close mosques where "extremist" ideas are being preached; to ban some Islamic organizations; and, contravening the European Convention on Human Rights, which Britain has adopted, to deport some foreigners to countries where the accused may be tortured or executed (although the governments concerned would have to promise to spare the deportees such measures). Grounds for deportation, Blair said, would include "fostering hatred, advocating violence to further a person's beliefs, or justifying or validating such violence." Such acts, of course, are not crimes under British law; if they were, the accused could be put on trial, rather than removed from the country by administrative action.
Most Britons, it seemed, believe that the new policies are justified. Quite possibly, many think them overdue. But there lies the problem. British Muslims (with the backing of civil-liberties groups and the Liberal Democrats, the country's third-largest political party) disagree: They see the new policies not merely as infringing on Muslims' civil rights but as an attack on the religion itself. The government replies that the new powers are directed chiefly at noncitizens, but Britain's Muslims are unimpressed by that argument. A Muslim preacher, facing deportation because the government deems his sermons to be inflammatory, may be a citizen of Pakistan, say, but he is still a Muslim—a brother in the faith.
These new plans of the British government are not the first of their kind. They follow a series of security laws enacted after 9/11 and some other proposals previously announced but not yet implemented. This profound shift in the law, even before the further curbs now being planned, had already prompted one of Britain's most senior judges to say that the greatest danger facing Britain was not terrorism, but the erosion of the country's traditional freedoms. Unlike in America, these liberties are not protected by a written constitution. A government like Blair's with a secure parliamentary majority can trample them with impunity, so long as it has at least the tacit support of the public. And Blair does.
Today, as you might expect, he has even stronger support than before. Until last month, many of the government's critics had accused it of scaremongering—of exaggerating the threat from terrorists in order to advance some pre-existing plan to curtail liberties—just as George W. Bush's critics have accused him. To the non-paranoid, that always looked like a phony charge. Regardless of whether it was a plausible or implausible accusation, however, it was certainly a stupid one, because it required only a successful terrorist attack, like the one in London on July 7, to refute it. As Blair rightly said last week, things have changed: Nobody is talking about scaremongering any more.
But this does not mean that Britain is united in purpose after the bombings. If the country had that kind of solidarity, it would be having a different kind of debate at the moment. A nation that is broadly united against the threat of terrorism will certainly want to argue about how far, if at all, valued civil liberties must be surrendered in exchange for greater security—and indeed whether any particular curtailment of freedom will or will not make people any safer. The United States is in a position to have that debate, and is having it (admittedly, not always in a very even-tempered fashion). Britain is different.
Because of its largely unassimilated Muslim population, the country is divided in a way that America is not. The July bombers were not foreigners who had sneaked in from abroad. They sprang from local Muslim communities. Not only that, but many of them gave every appearance of being good conscientious Muslims. The country is asking: How could that have happened? How many more of these people might there be—and what is to be done about it? Meanwhile, Britain is arguing not about what price in surrendered liberty all citizens should willingly pay to feel safer, as one would wish, but about whether Muslims are being collectively punished for the crimes of a handful of criminals.
A great underlying problem is that so many British Muslims feel little sense of community and solidarity with their fellow Britons, and vice versa. Whose fault is that? No doubt, there is plenty of blame to go around. Britain's Muslim immigrants and their children, like visible minorities in many countries, have to face outright racism and milder forms of prejudice, to be sure. They are discriminated against at work, no doubt, and in other ways are often made to feel excluded rather than welcomed. All of that must go some way toward explaining why they have failed to thrive in the economy—and why many young Muslims are poor, disaffected, and unemployed.
At the same time, though, Britain's Muslim immigrants have shown little zeal to become British—certainly nothing to compare with the zeal, over the years, of America's immigrants to become American. To some degree, they have chosen not just religious separateness, but cultural and social separateness as well. And the country went some way to accommodate this preference.
The world would be a happier place, of course, if all immigrants went to their adopted country under a sense of obligation to conform to the manners and mores of their new home, and in the hope that their children would flourish as fully integrated citizens. It would also be good, one can safely say, if the people already living in those countries received the newcomers hospitably, without prejudice or resentment, ready to grant them equal opportunity. America has done pretty well on both counts. Europe has fallen very far short of that ideal. It cannot start over. Now it must live with the consequences.
Starting from here, it is hard to say what the best way forward may be. In education, for instance, France and Britain have taken markedly opposing views. France, militantly secularist, has lately gone so far as to forbid Muslim girls to wear headscarves in schools. Britain, traditionally more tolerant, takes a multiculturalist view, honoring (some say pandering to) religious diversity. But has it made any difference? Both countries have Muslim minorities with plenty of angry, disaffected youth. Will France's hardening approach in schools lessen separateness and alienation among the country's Muslim young, or only make them worse?
Depending on what else happens, it could go either way. Still, my own preference, thinking partly of the harm that church schools did in Northern Ireland, inclines to the French approach. Keep religion a private affair. In schools, "citizenship first, second, and third" seems the better answer.
Britain and France, meanwhile, have to face the present reality of their unassimilated Muslims—as well as the war that fanatical Islamists are prosecuting against the West. For Britain, the ideal bargain on immigration still seems the best guide. In that spirit, Blair's government must recognize that Muslims are sensitive to policies that look like an attack on their religion. This is one more reason why the government must be sure that its new policies really will improve security for all citizens, and explain why. If such measures are only gestures to appease majority opinion (the deportation plan smacks of that), they are wrong on the merits, and divisive as well.
And the other side of the bargain? That is simple. Britain's Muslims need to denounce the terrorists with more rage and no equivocation. To put it bluntly, this is a war, and they need to make it plain—plainer than they have so far—whose side they are on.

Julia, Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld Tango for Mango Spring 2009
Julia, Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld Tango for Mango Spring 2009
>> Last season, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld mugged for British chain Accessorize, and this season both she and her brother, Vladimir, are appearing in ads for Spanish chain Mango. This isn't the first time they've worked together for a brand — Julia art directed the Fall 2008 Rock & Republic campaign that Vladimir appeared in — but as the mind recalls, this is the first time they've been faces for a brand together. Carine's influence runs through both — Julia is styled like a portrait of her mother in these ads, with the kohl-rimmed eyes and brown hair flopping over one eyes; and Vladimir has taken his mother's favorite cause, amfAR, as his own — he's curating a photography exhibit during Fashion Week to benefit the foundation.

After-Hours Prohibition: U.S. Military Tightens Drinking Rules in Japan
The crackdown continues.
More In Japan-US
The U.S. military in Okinawa has now prohibited all personnel from consuming alcohol while off base and restricted purchases of alcohol on base, according to a statement released over the weekend.
The order is the latest attempt by the U.S. Forces in Japan to clamp down on a string of embarrassing incidents–many of them alcohol-related–that has alienated their Japanese hosts, at a time of resurgent local opposition to the U.S. presence in the southern island prefecture.
Under the order, U.S. military personnel in Okinawa will not be allowed to purchase or consume alcohol off base, effective immediately. All on-base alcohol sales will be prohibited from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m., including transactions at clubs and shops. Furthermore, service personnel will be given a breathalyzer test when departing base in vehicles. Drivers with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.03 will not be allowed to leave.
In a notice shared on the U.S. Forces in Japan Facebook page over the weekend, the military said the measure will be enforced "to reinforce responsible behavior and support our continued, positive relationships with the local communities we live in."
The latest measure comes on top of other recent steps taken by the U.S. military to limit the movements of personnel and curtail misconduct amid a string of incidents that have irked their Japanese hosts, particularly in Okinawa where the majority of U.S. troops in Japan are based.
An unprecedented nationwide curfew on all troops in Japan was implemented in October, several days after two U.S. Navy sailors were reportedly involved in the alleged rape of a local Okinawan woman. But additional reports of misconduct–less serious, though they occurred in violation of the curfew–have marred the damage-control campaign.
The two sailors have since been formally charged with raping and injuring the woman.
Japan's top government spokesman welcomed the new measures, provided they are adhered to.
"It would be meaningless if (the rules) aren't followed," Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura said Monday.
In other related moves, the highest-ranking U.S. military official in Japan ordered the implementation of a buddy program on troops on Friday while the U.S. 7th Fleet last week enforced a complete alcohol-ban on all of its sailors from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. regardless of whether they're on or off base.
The U.S. Navy ban includes all active duty sailors assigned to Commander 7th Fleet and all navy ships stationed in Japan, which includes locations ranging from Yokosuka in Kanagawa Prefecture to Sasebo in Nagasaki.
Vice Adm. Scott H. Swift, commander of the U.S. 7th Fleet, hosted a behavior leadership summit in Japan of regional commanders on Saturday, one week earlier than originally scheduled in light of the incidents in Japan. The conference aimed to pinpoint and resolve the root cause of the repeated offenses.
"This is about our self-honor; this is about our courage to step up and take this challenge on, and our commitment to follow through on it. The fact is Sailors are not the problem, they're the solution," he said.

MOORE / JANUARY 2011 This is part of IEEE Spectrum's special report: Top 11 Technologies of the Decade Back in 1994, programmers figured that whatever code they wrote would run at least 50 percent faster on a 1995 machine and 50 percent faster still on a '96 system. Coding would continue as it always had, with instructions designed to be executed one after the other. But Kunle Olukotun, then a newly minted professor of electrical engineering at Stanford, saw that the party couldn't go on forever. The microprocessors of the day couldn't scale up as efficiently as you'd expect through the mere addition of ever more and ever faster transistors, the two things that Moore's Law provided. To solve that problem, Olukotun and his students designed the first general-purpose multicore CPU . This idea, more than any other in the past decade, is what has kept the semiconductor industry climbing the Moore's Law performance curve. Without multicore chips, the computing capability of everything from servers to netbooks would not be much better than it was a decade ago. Everyone's happy—except perhaps for the programmers, who must now write code with threads of instructions that must be executed together—in pairs, quartets, or even larger groupings. It's not that old, single-core CPUs weren't already doing some parallel processing. When Olukotun began his work, most microprocessors had a "superscalar" architecture. In the superscalar scheme, the CPU contained many replicated

Individual instructions would be parceled out to the waiting components. Scaling up such "instruction-level parallelism" meant building in more and more such components as the years rolled by. Olukotun argued that within a few more generations, it wasn't going to be worth the effort. You needed to provide a quadratic increase in resources for a linear increase in performance, he said, because of the complexity of the logic involved in parceling out and keeping track of all the instructions. If you combined that with the delays inherent in the mess of interconnects among all those parts, it seemed a losing proposition. Doug Burger and Stephen Keckler, both computer scientists at the University of Texas, Austin, put a finer point on it later in the decade, calculating that instead

Looks like a cool deal but I am always wary of "the catch".
I'm in. 6-8 week for the first issue.
So I signed up for this in October, that was six months ago and then some. I got my first issue yesterday. It was the April issue with D-Rose on the cover. I had totally forgotten about applying for this free subscription. Maybe I'll see the May issue by Christmas, who knows?
Nice, thanks!
Your the man Doc
LOL, guys we were talking about this back in October. Is the offer still available? Be patient if it is. Like I said, it took me six months to get an issue. Doc says a similar thing happened with his.

Merino Tour golf socks deliver the ultimate in golf comfort, combining unbeatable moisture management and temperature regulation for the optimal golf playing experience.
ProDry socks with Dri-Lex Technology wicks moisture off your skin, allowing for a drier, more comfortable sock.
Soft combed cotton delivers the smoothest, softest feeling sock. CottonSof socks absorb moisture and are breathable to keep active feet more comfortable...
Thanks I will try all of them out. Im pretty picky about socks so im sure one of them will work fo me...
I'm moving to FJ socks all the time - order has been placed for 2 dozen of the argyles.
From where can you order the argyles? I looked all over, and can't find them anywhere. Does anybody have a link?
Check the FJ home page, under Mens Socks. Choose the argyle under the ProDry section and then click "Dealer Locator" at the bottom of your screen. That will give you a list of locations that sell FJ products near you. You then just have to find out which one(s) have the ProDry Argyle socks and you're good to go.
I checked. No dice. :(
Tar Heel, socks, for me, never have been a big deal. Once you wear FJ it become a big deal for life.

Quebec (PRWEB) July 16, 2013
In 1929, Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe is in fact expanding at an enormous speed. This revolutionary discovery further supported the Big Bang theory which would, to this day, be the prevailing paradigm in cosmology. Author Andre Trepanier is not totally satisfied with this cosmological model and in his quest for answers, he discovered a defendable alternative theory: the multibang cosmic model. He talks about his findings in depth in his new book, Bright Hole Cosmos: and Multi-Bang Dynamics.
The core idea of Trepanier's groundbreaking treatise is that the permanent cosmos is continuously renewed by local maxibang events, a direct contrast to the unique cosmic origin espoused by the widely accepted Big Bang theory. It is also distinctive in that it recognizes the physical laws and shows its more universal value and consistency. The two-part book first describes today's mainstream ideas in cosmology and their respective models and results. It then subsequently presents Trepanier's alternative model.
Incisive and revolutionary, Bright Hole Cosmos is both an insightful introduction for beginners and a source of fresh ideas for veterans in the field of cosmology. It is a fascinating journey that will leave readers awed with renewed understanding of some of the greatest questions that have confronted mankind.
This book was featured at the 2013 BookExpo America in New York City last May 30-June 1, 2013. For more information on this book, interested parties may log on to http://www.Xlibris.com.
About the Author
Andre Trepanier had a 30-year career as a petroleum geophysicist in North America and Africa. Now retired, he is highly interested in all physical sciences including geology, astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology.

This week, Prince took the stage during Jimmy Kimmel Live to perform his newest single, "Rock & Roll Love Affair." It's a funky, bluesy, horn blasting track that had Prince shooting off grins of joy to the crowd.
As the credits rolled on the show, Prince and the band began to play "The Dance Electric," a odd choice that sent fans into a frenzy. Prince wrote the song for his former bass player André Cymone's solo album in 1985.
Kimmel promised a full performance would be online after the show, but no video of the full performance of the song has been posted as of yet. A few versions, shot from the crowd, can be found by searching on YouTube, but they will most likely be taken down soon, so if you want to see it, be advised to search sooner rather than later.

The Morning News of NW Arkansas
FAYETTEVILLE - Arkansas was allotted an NCAA regional Sunday, but the Hogs don't feel like it was given to them.
"We earned it," said Arkansas second-year coach Dave Van Horn. "We earned a share of the (Southeastern Conference) title and we won the Western Division, which most people say is the toughest division in the nation from top to bottom."
The Razorbacks (39-21) are No. 8 by Collegiate Baseball. They're 16-12 against ranked teams and No. 14 in the RPI rankings with quality non-conference wins against then-No. 7 Wichita State, Texas A&M (No. 14), Oral Roberts (No. 14) and Oklahoma State (No. 29).
"When we're on our 'A' game," Van Horn said. "we can play with anybody and we can play for a while.
"We have that confidence."
Arkansas is one of a record five SEC teams selected to host a regional. The others are Georgia, Louisiana State, Ole Miss and South Carolina.
As the top seed in the SEC Tournament this past week, the Razorbacks rebounded for a pair of wins after losing 8-6 to Tennessee in 13 innings in the opener to go 2-2 overall. They were eliminated Saturday with a 3-2 loss to South Carolina in the consolation bracket final.
"We represented ourselves pretty good," Van Horn said. "A lot times, teams will win the league and they don't play real well in the tournament. They're like, 'Well, we had already done what we were going to do. It's just the tournament.'
"We lost an extra inning game, won two tight games, and then lost another tight game. We definitely gave it our best effort, so I'm proud of our guys.
"We deserve to host (a regional)."
As host, Arkansas will receive the No. 1 seed for the Fayetteville Regional, which will include three more teams once today's seedings are released.
"This time of the year, you can have all the talent in the world and go two and out," Van Horn said. "Or you can just be an average team and the next thing you know, you find yourself in Omaha. You've got to be lucky.

Francis working toward swift retun
By Thomas Harding / MLB.com
DENVER -- Rockies left-hander Jeff Francis, placed on the disabled list Thursday with a left groin strain, rode a stationary bike and did some throwing Friday in an effort to stay sharp and possibly shorten his time out of action.
Francis sustained the injury in the second inning of Tuesday's 9-4 victory over the Cubs. Despite the pain, Francis held the Cubs to one run on three hits in six innings.
Francis said head athletic trainer Keith Dugger told him it would take 5-7 days for his groin to heal. Between now and then, the plan is to keep his arm in shape.
Francis is 2-3 with a 6.00 ERA. Many of his early-season starts were in snowy or rainy weather.
Rockies seek more of the same from Chatwood
DENVER -- Rockies right-hander Tyler Chatwood left a stunning last impression the last time he was in the Majors -- six scoreless innings in a 12-2 victory over the Dodgers on April 29. Now the Rockies are counting on him to do the same Saturday.
Chatwood, who was sent to Triple-A Colorado Springs after his impressive outing, rejoined the Rockies on Friday and will be activated to start Saturday against the Giants in the third game of a four-game set at Coors Field. Righty Juan Nicasio was originally scheduled to pitch Saturday, but his start has been moved to Sunday.
The Rockies sent Chatwood down after his start against the Dodgers because Jhoulys Chacin made his return from the disabled list with a back strain. Chatwood didn't sulk by any means. He threw a four-hit shutout of Iowa in his first start -- the first nine-inning, complete-game shutout by a Colorado Springs pitcher at home since 2003. Chatwood didn't fare as well in his next start -- 11 hits and seven runs -- but there were reports that he threw a high percentage of strikes and pitched far better than the numbers.
"Anytime you go down, you want to prove yourself and keep proving yourself," said Chatwood, 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA in two starts during his first callup. "I was just trying to go out there and make pitches.
"It's just commanding the zone with every pitch. Throwing everything for strikes is the biggest thing."
For Chatwood, 23, filling the roster spot of injured lefty Jeff Francis (left groin strain), this is a new chance to stick after bouncing between the Majors and Minors with the Angels (2011) and Rockies (2012-13). Also, he was considered either a starter or reliever as recently as Spring Training. Once and for all, Chatwood can forge a future in his preferred role.
"I've been a starter my whole career, I'm used to that and that's what I'm comfortable doing," Chatwood said. "That's what I feel like I need to do."
Rockies manager Walt Weiss said he was happy with Chatwood's work in Colorado Springs.
"His command has been much better, and he was throwing the ball well down there," Weiss said. "His last outing, his numbers weren't great but our reports were he threw the ball better than the numbers dictated. I like the way he competes."
Most likely, the club will return right-handed reliever Rob Scahill, who was called up to replace Francis and threw 2 1/3 scoreless innings in Thursday night's 8-6 loss to the Giants, to Colorado Springs when Chatwood is activated. Scahill has thrown 5 1/3 scoreless innings and given up two hits and struck out two during to call-ups this season.
Nicasio's start bumped to Sunday
DENVER -- By calling up Tyler Chatwood to pitch Saturday, the Rockies will give right-hander Juan Nicasio an extra day's rest. Nicasio, who has struggled on and off this season, will start Sunday in the finale of the four-game set with the Giants.
Nicasio (3-1, 5.13 ERA) threw six innings in his last start -- the longest he's lasted since his first start of the season. However, he gave up five early runs in a 5-1 loss to the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Nicasio is a power pitcher who is searching for the sharpness that could make him highly effective.
Rockies manager Walt Weiss said the club sees the potential during bullpen sessions.
"Juan is clear as far as the things he needs to work on," Weiss said. "He throws great bullpens. It's a matter of taking that into the game."
Helton, Arrenado homers have place in MLB lore
DENVER -- The consecutive second-inning home runs Thursday by Rockies veteran first baseman Todd Helton and rookie third baseman Nolan Arenado produced some age-difference trivia.
According to the Society for American Baseball Research Home Run Log, just eight times in Major League history, when it comes to back-to-back homers, has there been an age difference greater than the 17 years between Helton, 39, and Arenado, 22.
The greatest difference was 21 years, when the Giants' Hank Sauer, 41, and Orlando Cepeda, 20, went deep against the Giants on April 19, 1958. Three times has the difference been 20 years -- twice involving the Giants' Chris Speier, 20, and Willie Mays, 40, on May 14 and May 26, 1971, both times against the Dodgers. The other 20-year split came, famously, on Sept. 14, 1990, when Ken Griffey Sr., 40, homered in front of his 20-year-old son against the Angels.
The Reds' Frank Robinson was 20 and Bob Thurman was 39 when they homered against the Braves on Aug. 18, 1956. The 18-year differences involved the Red Sox's Gary Geiger, 23, and Ted Williams, 41, on July 27, 1960 against the White Sox; the Giants' Jack Clark, 23, and Willie McCovey, 41, against the Cubs on June 2, 1979' and the Phillies' Lou Marson, 22, and Matt Stairs, 40, against the Nationals on Sept. 28, 2008.
The 17-year gap between Helton and Arenado matched the differences of the Cardinals' Peanuts Lowrey, 35, and Dick Schofield, 17, against the Giants on Aug. 26, 1953; the Royals' Hal McRae, 41, and Bo Jackson, 24, against the Indians on May 2, 1984; the Tigers' Darrell Evans, 40, and Matt Nokes, 23, twice -- against the Indians on Sept. 1, 1987, and against the Orioles on Sept. 23, 1988 when each was a year older; the Blue Jays' Dave Winfield, 40, and John Olerud, 23, against the Indians on June 26, 1992; the Angles' Mike Trout, 20, and Torii Hunter, 37, against the Royals last July 25; and the Braves' Jason Heyward, 23, and Chipper Jones, 40, against the Padres last Aug. 16.

They said what? Best Boston sports quotes of the year
Red Sox slugger and World Series MVP David Ortiz locked up the sports quote of the year award not just in Boston but likely the nation when he addressed the Fenway Park crowd in the first Red Sox home game after the Boston Marathon bombings in April.
"This is our [expletive] city," Ortiz proclaimed on national television, and it became the rallying cry for Boston Strong.
But both before and after Ortiz's passionate outburst, Boston's sportsmen had plenty to say, or have things said about them, in 2013. Here's a look at the most memorable and talked-about comments from the Boston sports scene this year.
Tommy Heinsohn
"There's point-2 on the shot clock, so nothing's going to happen here unless it's the best tip-in play of the century."
The Celtics announcer was skeptical before Gerald Wallace's alley-oop to Jared Sullinger with 0.2 seconds left in the first quarter of a Dec. 18 game between the Celtics and Pistons. Naturally the play worked, and Heinsohn set up the replay for viewers by saying "here comes the best tip-in play of the century.''
Shannon Sharpe
"Bill Belichick makes it real easy for you to root against the Patriots. You can't be a poor sport all the time. You're not going to win all the time. And he does this every time he loses. It's unacceptable.''
The CBS football broadcaster wasn't happy when the Patriots' coach declined to do an on-field interview after his team lost the AFC Championship at Gillete Stadium in January, so he blasted him during the postgame show.
Larry Walker
"I had a hold of him, and I think I saw Satan in his eyes.''
The coach of the Canadian national team in the World Baseball Classic was talking about former Red Sox pitcher Alfredo Aceves after an all-out brawl between Canada and Mexico during the tournament in March.
Andrew Ference
"This jacket represents a lot of great things. I couldn't think of a more worthy final recipient than you bud. @mjb_3.''
The former Bruins defenseman had acquired an Army Ranger jacket that was a locker-room award to the Bruin who went above-and-beyond in each playoff win. Ference, who signed with Edmonton in the offseason, decided to leave the jacket with Matt Brown, a high school hockey player from Norwood who was paralyzed in a game in 2010 and was a big Bruins fan.
Anna Burns Welker
"Proud of my husband and the Pats. By the way, if anyone is bored, please go to Ray Lewis' Wikipedia page. 6 kids, 4 wives. Acquitted for murder. Paid a family off. Yay! What a hall of fame player! A true role model!"
The wife of former Patriots receiver Wes Welker took to Facebook to rant about the Ravens – and in particuar, linebacker Ray Lewis, who once was charged with murder – after they beat the Patriots in the AFC Championship in January. She apologized shortly thereafter.
Ryan Dempster
"I was just trying to pitch inside.''
Red Sox starter Ryan Dempster denied hitting Alex Rodriguez in August was intentional, but his pitches were nowhere close to the strike zone before he finally drilled A-Rod on a 3-0 count. Many speculated the plunking was baseball justice for Rodriguez's involvement in a major PED scandal and the subsequent dishonor it brought to the game. Dempster was suspended five games.
Bill Russell
"The most important statistic was the final score.''
The Celtics legend, regarded as one of the most accomplished sportsmen ever with 11 NBA championships, was as humble as ever at the unveiling of a statue in his honor at City Hall Plaza.
Jonny Gomes
"I'm just another day closer to the parade''
That was Gomes' response to Ryan Dempster when Dempster asked his new teammate how he was doing one day in spring training in February. Dempster told the story at the Red Sox' World Series victory parade.
Bobby Valentine
"Connie Mack wouldn't have won with that team.''
Upon the occasion of being appointed athletics director at Sacred Heart University in Connecticut in February, the former Red Sox manager, who oversaw one of the team's worst campaigns in 2012, tried to justify his failure. Not many in Boston bought it.
Bob Lobel
"I think they're waiting for the results of the swimsuit competition.''
The longtime sportscaster was quick with a quip when Boston.com's Steve Silva asked him in March about where things stood in his quest to become the Red Sox' new public address announcer. Lobel ended up as one of the three chosen to replace the late Carl Beane.
Claude Julien
"It's frustrating because tonight, as everybody saw, there's a lot of embellishment. This is embarrassing for our game, the embellishing. And right now they've got over 100 power plays so far and it's pretty obvious why. We're trying to clean that out of our game, and its got to be done soon.''
The Bruins coach was pretty upset after a March game against the Canadiens, who are famous for flopping, and let his feelings be known in his postgame press conference.
Rob Gronkowski
"Sorry for partying''
That was the message on a tank top worn by the Patriots tight end when he agreed to a photo with a fan named Tarah Maciel. Gronkowski had been criticized for his party animal lifestyle, especially after one video caught him doing a wrestling move despite a cast on his broken arm.
Antonio Smith
"You would have to be a descendant of Tonestradamus [Nostradamus] to know what we put in this week to be able to change that fast. It is a specific thing that was important to what we were going to do today, to how we would call the defense. They changed it up in a way to where you were in in-decision in calling the defense that way. There's no way . . . we have not done it ever before and they had never changed it ever before. So it was just kind of fishy how it got changed. It just let me know that something just ain't right.''
The Texans' defensive end accused the Patriots of spying, likely knowing that would touch a nerve, after the Patriots beat the Texans in early December. He backed off the comments the next day.
Claude Julien
"Because I can. Because I'm the coach.''
That was how the Bruins coach explained his decision in March to demote a slumping Milan Lucic to the third line.
Terry Francona
"We stayed away from chicken and beer. That helped.''
The former Red Sox managed had a good one ready when he was asked how his new team, the Cleveland Indians, was able to surge into the playoffs. Francona was at the helm of the Red Sox during their infamous collapse in September of 2011, which was attributed in part to players spending too much time in the clubhouse eating fried chicken and drinking beer, even during games.
Mayor Thomas Menino
"We'll be rooting hard to bring back the World Series Cup to Boston …''
The outgoing mayor, famous for botching sports names, put the wraps on his tenure with another of his patented "Menino-isms.''
Koji Uehara
"To tell you the truth, I almost threw up.''
The Red Sox closer told it like it was when asked about the pressure he faced in the ALCS, for which he was named MVP. After the World Series, Fox reporter Erin Andrews revisited the quote and asked him how he felt when he sealed the championship victory. "I almost cried,'' he said.
David Ortiz
"We don't get here every day. Let's relax and play the game the way we know how. We better than this right here. Let's loosen up and play the game the way we do.''
Big Papi's dugout speech to his Red Sox teammates in Game 4 of the World Series was a huge turning point, inspiring a rally that turned a 1-1 tie into a 4-2 victory. Jonny Gomes belted a three-run home run in the Red Sox' at-bat immediately following the pep talk.
Jonny Gomes
"It was like 24 kindergartners looking up at their teacher. He got everyone's attention.''
That's how Gomes described David Ortiz's dugout pep talk right before Gomes delivered a three-run dinger that gave the Red Sox a 4-2 win in Game 4 of the World Series.
Bill Belichick
The entire Aaron Hernandez press conference
A day before the Patriots were to begin training camp in July, coach Bill Belichick finally spoke about the arrest of tight end Aaron Hernandez on a murder charge. Belichick was forthcoming and hit all the right notes in a rare but necessary departure from his usual approach of revealing little if anything to the media.
David Ortiz
"This is our [expletive] city.''
Sure, some people complained about Big Papi using a curse in such a public setting in the first Red Sox game at Fenway after the Boston Marathon bombings, but the message was so real and so genuine it resonated long and strong as Boston began the healing process. Even the head of the FCC, Julius Genachowski, gave it his OK via Twitter.
Brad Stevens
"He had a triple-double? Crawford did? Holy smokes, I had no idea.''
The new Celtics coach showed his sarcastic side following Jordan Crawford's 11-point, 11-rebound, 10-assist night against the Cavaliers in November.
Scott Zolak
"That's your quarterback! Who left the building? Unicorns! Show ponies! Where's the beef?"
The Patriots' radio analyst went absolutely bonkers after Tom Brady threw a touchdown pass to complete an amazing comeback against the Saints in October. He said some of his phrases were inside jokes with another host on The Sports Hub.

How can I determine whether a string represents an integer or not?
How can I determine whether a string represents an integer or not?
Well, you could use atoi (Ascii TO Integer) or the like (atof, atol, etc) and determine if the result is a number. atoi returns 0 if the string was not a number. Possibly your string IS the number 0, so just for added safety, in this example we check to make sure that both the value is non-zero and the string does not contain zero.
int num;
char * string = "12345";
num = atoi( string );
if (num == 0 && string[0] != '0')
printf("Not a Number!");
print("Number is: %i", num);
... Come to think of it, alternatly you could parse your string for valid integers, either ignoring invalid characters (alphabet, etc) or by simply flagging the string as non-numeric if one is found. i.e.
BOOL IsValidNumber(char * string)
for(int i = 0; i < strlen( string ); i ++)
//ASCII value of 0 = 48, 9 = 57. So if value is outside of numeric range then fail
//Checking for negative sign "-" could be added: ASCII value 45.
if (string[i] < 48 || string[i] > 57)
return FALSE;
return TRUE;
Or to be more thorough you could check that all of the string is valid in every conceivable way :-)
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
#include <limits>
#include <cerrno>
using namespace std;
bool is_number(string& src)
const char *start = src.c_str();
errno = 0;
char *end;
long string_value = strtol(start, &end, 10);
if (
errno == ERANGE || // Did we set off errno?
string_value > numeric_limits<int>::max() || // Is it too big?
string_value < numeric_limits<int>::min() || // Too small?
static_cast<unsigned>(end - start) != src.length() // Non-numerics?
return false;
return true;
int main()
string s = "12345";
if (is_number(s))
cout<<"It's a number!"<<endl;
Im teaching myself c++ and this board is a LOT of help. I looked at the code offered and managed to get the below to work for Borland C++ 5.02. I think this is what I want.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <limits>
int main()
int num;
char string[256];
cin.getline(string, 256, '\n');
num = atoi( string );
if (num == 0 && string[0] != '0')
cout <<"Not a Number!";
cout<<"Number is: "<<num;
return 0;
>>I think this is what I want.
Close enough, if you're teaching yourself C++ then rock solid validation might be more than you want :-)
Rock-solid validation is what drives me to learn more!
Celas example is accurate, inclusive, and safe... though a little excessive. ;)
>>Rock-solid validation is what drives me to learn more!
Bravo. Its always nice to see people who want to learn. I'll offer some related information.
Something to look for when processing something like this, is that your char * string is valid. The line "... && string[0] != '0'" will explode if string is not a valid pointer. So checks like:
if (string != NULL) ... //proceed with code
could prove useful. In your particular case that would be useless as string is not a pointer, but something like that would be a smart idea using the IsValidNumber(...) function example.
Or u can use the standard lib functions -
#include <locale>
isdigit(); //This fxn determines whether a letter in a string is a numerical value '3' is numerical 'L' is not
I think this used to be in the <cctype.h> header as I remember reading that those checking functions were there but MSDN says it's in the <locale> header. Go figure?
>>Celas example is accurate, inclusive, and safe... though a little excessive.
There's nothing wrong with being excessive in the right situations, like nuclear reactor or space station controllers :-) But you're right, it's a little much for most normal use

Brewers ink Riske to three-year deal
Right-handed reliever could be in the mix to be team's closer
By Adam McCalvy / MLB.com
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Over the next five days in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, new Brewers right-hander David Riske has plenty to celebrate. While Riske and his family began a vacation, the Brewers on Wednesday announced they had finalized an incentive-rich, three-year contract with the free-agent reliever, adding a proven setup man and another potential closer -- should Derrick Turnbow falter in his return to that role. The deal reportedly guarantees $13 million over the course of the contract and could pay more than $20 million if Riske emerges as the closer. The contract includes an option for a fourth season worth about $4.75 million, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. "I know they lost a couple of big arms in the bullpen, so I'm just going to do my best to help them out," Riske said. The Brewers lost a pair of key relievers in free agency and have been actively seeking bullpen help. Second-half setup man Scott Linebrink signed with the White Sox, and All-Star closer Francisco Cordero bolted for the Reds. "He's a strike-thrower," Brewers manager Ned Yost said of Riske. "A guy who, as it stands today, probably will contend for one of our spots for our closers. Right now, we don't have a clear-cut one. Derrick will probably have a head start because he's been an All-Star closer." It has been a wild week for the Riske clan. News that he was nearing an agreement with Milwaukee broke late last week, but the requisite physical to complete the deal was delayed because he attended a weekend wedding in Seattle. Riske was in Milwaukee on Tuesday for the physical, then returned home to Nevada -- only to leave again Wednesday for Mexico. After five days in the sun, he will return home for one day, then plans to head to Kansas City for another wedding. "It's crazy timing right now. It's exciting, though," Riske said. Riske, 31, was 1-4 with a 2.45 ERA and four saves in 65 relief appearances for the Kansas City Royals last season. After struggling with a 6.97 ERA in April, he went on to post a 1.67 ERA the rest of the season. The Brewers were drawn to Riske's durability. He pitched consecutive days 10 times, including one stretch of three straight days, and had a perfect 0.00 ERA (11 innings) on Days 2 and 3. "I feel like if I don't pitch enough, I'm not as good," Riske said. "The more I pitch, the better I am. I love going out there. I love being called a workhorse. I love eating up as many innings as I can." Riske's agent, Nez Balelo, said the potential to slide into the Brewers' closer role helped entice Riske, who has 20 career saves. Milwaukee tried to re-sign All-Star Cordero, only to see him choose National League Central rival Cincinnati, and barring an unforeseen trade, the Brewers will go back to Turnbow, who was an All-Star in 2006, but has struggled for the last season and a half. "I was really happy, especially after going in [to Miller Park] and watching them play," said Riske, whose Royals lost two of three in Milwaukee from June 22-24. The Brewers took the first two games of the series to push 8 1/2 games ahead of their nearest National League Central rival, but Riske pitched a scoreless inning in the finale and got the win for the Royals. The Brewers will be expected to compete again for the division title in 2008. That was part of the draw, Riske said. "I'm real excited," he said. "I think they have a great future there."
Brewers officials didn't make any promises to Riske regarding his role in the bullpen, but he could begin the year as the Brewers' primary setup man to Turnbow. Riske and newcomer Guillermo Mota have been mentioned as potential alternatives should Turnbow struggle."My whole Minor League career I closed, and then I got the opportunity a little bit at the beginning of last year and with Cleveland [in 2003 and 2004]," Riske said. "I love closing. I love going out there with the game on the line. I've always thrived in those situations. I definitely would not push it away." Said Yost: "Our guys say he's very, very deceiving. He throws 91, 92 [mph] but it's the hardest 91, 92 you'll see. [Hitters] have trouble picking the ball up. He has a lot of deception." To make room on the roster for Riske, the Brewers designated outfielder Laynce Nix for assignment. According to assistant general manager Gord Ash, the team was close to finalizing a new Major League contract for Nix, and planned to then outright him to Triple-A Nashville. Were another team to claim Nix, the Brewers would get $20,000 and Nix would get an opportunity to play in the Majors. Should the other 29 teams pass, Nix would get a Spring Training invitation and would stay in the organization as outfield depth. "We talked to a number of clubs, and there wasn't specific interest in making a deal," Ash said. "But we like the depth that he gives us." The Brewers were limited in whom they could remove from the roster. Baseball rules barred them from removing any of the players added to the 40-man roster last month, and they did not want to expose outfielder Drew Anderson to waivers because he has options remaining.

SAR is now the time to fire him?
SAR is now the time to fire him?
Idzik did everything right there. I really want to see what the media stories look like.
He said he GM 4 days and 3 of the days were out of town. He is very comfortable so far with the organization. He said it will be a WE team and collabrative decisions.
They will spend a lot to time evaluating the teams personnel and a lot of time preparing for the draft.
He know about Mark Sanchez from his draft days and thinks he's very athletic but won't comment further as all players will be evaluated as part of the process.
My take is this guy is the right guy. I like his humble demeanor and expect him to take charge once he get his bearings here.
Turn on SNY. Interviewing John Idzik further!!!
He handled himself extremely well. I like what he said his approach will be as far as drafting, and signing free agents.
Results are what matter, obviously. But I like what I'm hearing so far.
I wonder what he'll do with Tim Tebow?
He looks like the guy that played the President in Angelina Jolies movie Salt....
Hunt Block is his name

Six Nations
Panic buying on the 19.25
Tom Hamilton
February 4, 2013
Ireland meets Wales - rugby perfectly captured © PA Photos
For many the memories of Saturday's match in Cardiff will revolve around Simon Zebo's amazing piece of individual trickery, Brian O'Driscoll's heroics and Wales' valiant second-half fight back. But there are those for whom the camaraderie between the two sets of fans and the incredible scenes on the 19.25 from Cardiff to Paddington will be just as unforgettable.
The omens were not good for the rest of the day when I encountered two Welsh fans in Earls Court tube station at a time when most sensible people on a Saturday would be in bed. I chose to travel via train to Cardiff, these two opted for similar transportation. But unlike me, they were enjoying their cans of a well known Wales-based ale on the platform. It was 07.47.
The aftermath of the Test brought together the rivals with Wales and Ireland fans both praising each other's team and predicting the latest British & Irish Lions XV for the summer. "I'd just go for the Ireland front-row, Brian O'Driscoll, Luke Fitzgerald etc..." rang out one Dublin-accented voice. "You have got to be kidding me - build it around Adam Jones..." was the quick retort.
Eventually all good things come to an end and with the relatively early start of 13.30 for the first match of the Six Nations, it was inevitable that after opting to start drinking pre-match, a fair number would run out of steam as the clock ticked on into the night.
Fast-forward to my journey back from the Welsh capital and I encountered a scene of absolute carnage on the train. Fans sprawled in the aisles as the train chugged on fit to burst. The songs rang out with 'Fields of Athenry' boomed out at least 15 times in my carriage between Cardiff and Newport. And when we reached the Gwent station, I ventured to the bar to see what was on offer.
A queue of 20 or so people greeted me seemingly convinced the Mayan apocalypse prophecy was about to come true, albeit a few weeks on. People were panic buying the whole of the bar's beleaguered supplies. A gentleman a fair few in front opted to purchase 24 cans of a Danish beer. If 'they', as their advertising slogan boasts, did trains then there would have been more cans in the fridge. When faced with this scene of adversity the poor lady behind the till stayed true to her customer service brief and packaged two apiece into the brown paper bags - her lack of English meant she resorted to writing the details of what they had left on napkins.
And so the panic buying continued. Henry Walker's potato based snacks were being purchased in vast quantities while one fellow opted to clean out the bar of their red wine supplies in one fair swoop. The inflated pricing meant that he could have bought most of a vineyard with his eventual total but he seemed content.
And on it went; each individual trying to outdo the one in front. By this time, the faint memory of when they had Guinness in the fridge had long gone. A Welsh ale was the next to be emptied and eventually it came to me; we were reaching Bristol Parkway by this point - we had been through two countries in the time I stood at the bar. It is hard to choose your poison when faced with a bar full of different labelled taps, but it was fairly easy when there is a fridge consisting of one brand of ale and one of cider.
So I gathered up my three cans - one for the fellow journalist I was travelling with - in my two paper bags and returned to my seat, dodging the spread-eagled bodies and mini black markets breaking out in Coach E, with cans being exchanged for vastly inflated prices. I have to confess though; it was hard to juggle the three cans with the 17 packs of cashews I felt compelled to purchase.

Reese Witherspoon Dumped, Quickly Scooped Up On The Rebound
· With plenty of time on their hands these days to evaluate their relationships, studios have start dropping (and/or not renewing) first-look deals with partners with whom they've fallen out of love. Not even America's Sweetheart Reese Witherspoon (and her Type A shingle) has been immune from this recent caprice, though New Line was more than happy to climb into bed with her after a recent dumping. [Variety]
· A belt-tightening ICM is suspending several agents, who still will receive strike pay and benefits until the end of the labor war, and temporarily cutting some salaries. The silver lining: they're not laying off any assistants. (Yet.) [THR]
· The WGA has announced the nominations for its awards, with Juno, Michael Clayton, The Savages, Knocked Up, and Lars and the Real Girl recognized in the original screenplay category. [Variety]
· How are some striking writers killing time in between picketing shifts and producing YouTube videos? By writing children's books. (Look for Goodnight Moonves at your local Borders soon!) [THR]
· Fox finished Wednesday night in a fourth-place tie with Univision in the 18-49 demographic behind two hours of Back to You and Til Death repeats, biding its time until it unleashes American Idol upon its rivals. [Variety]

Every good starship captain ought to have a Twitter feed. If you still can't get your body beamed to other planets at least you can send 140 characters from space.
William Shatner (aka Captain James T. Kirk, aka @williamshatner) tweeted to Chris Hadfield, of the Canadian Space Agency "Are you tweeting from space?" Hadfield is the International Space Station's Flight Engineer for Expedition 34, so he is indeed tweeting from space.
In fine Trekkie form, he responded: "Yes, Standard Orbit, Captain. And we're detecting signs of life on the surface."
And as @SarcasticRover points out, "If the
@WilliamShatner / @Cmdr_Hadfield interaction goes down like most Captain Kirk adventures, they'll be kissing soon."
