Bagels in Boston
I'll attempt to preempt the usual carping about the sad state of bagels in Boston by acknowledging that, sadly, there are no genuinely great bagels here.
That said, once or twice a summer, I do love a weekend brunch of a mixed dozen from Kupel's on Harvard Street in Brookline, with fresh farmstand tomatoes, thin-sliced onions, good cream cheese and some nice smoked salmon and/or whitefish salad. They're not the greatest, but they get the job done. (Would I ever make the trip if they weren't walking distance from my house? Maybe not.)
Fair warning: literally EVERYTHING ELSE they sell at Kupel's is vile. Never get anything except the bagels.
re: Jenny Ondioline
Iggy's, while not making bagels in a traditional way (boiling), has good "bagels." At Tico, on the weekends, Schlow has H&H bagels shipped up from NYC. I get bagels shipped to me from H&H routinely and otherwise enjoy the poppy "bagels" from Iggy's.

re: scotty27
re: loper
Having spent my childhood in Brooklyn, with a traditional bagel store two blocks away, I have to give a reserved thumbs up for Iggy's multiseed. It is by no means a NY bagel, but it is satisfying in its own way, perhaps because it is so nice and dense and chewy, quite unlike the fluffy donut-like things peddled by so many around here.

re: autopi
The source is Ivan, who with his wife, Ludmilla, are the original owners of Iggy's. They have since moved to Australia. In conversation with an Australian blogger, Ivan said, "Ivan informed me they are steamed, not boiled, as Iggy does not believe in boiling bagels." Now why the bakery doesn't "believe" in boiled bagels is a different matter...
re: scotty27
re: autopi
I can't imagine why they steam. The big NY bagel guys are commercial, they boil. As I said, Iggy's is a Serbian bakery; it has as much to do with "real" bagels as Emma's does with "real" pizza. Still: Iggy's "bagels" are delicious. And: When I want I real bagel, I ship up H&H.
re: Jenny Ondioline
I really like the bagels at Rosenfeld's in Newton and Katz's in Chelsea. Most people will tell you that nothing in Boston can stand up to NYC, Montreal, etc., but I think these two can...
That said, in my experience, the other bagels around Boston aren't too great. (Although I am a sucker for the occasional Au Bon Pain asiago cheese "bagel.")
re: zach272
re: CookieLee
re: teezeetoo
Do you mean to say that Rosenfeld's, Katz's, and Iggy's actually have Montreal-style bagels (thinner, sweeter, etc.)? I haven't had the first two but Iggy's bagels that I have had are definitely not Montreal-style. They are good though - if a bit bready - if one needs a bagel. I haven't found anything I love yet in this area but find the bagels at Johnny's Foodmaster (in the bins) are actually not too bad when really fresh. A pretty generic bagel, but they have a decent chewiness, aren't too bready (a good crust to insides ratio), and have the standard bagel flavors: sesame, poppy, onion, everything, plain as well as blueberry and raisin.
re: zach272
Rosenfeld's are the best I've had in the area and are pretty good, and a step above Bruegher's which aren't bad, but not quite the level I experienced at a few shops I used to frequent in Rockland Co. NY when I lived in the area. May have to take a trip to Rosenfeld's tomorrow morning now.
There is also a pretty decent bagel shop we used to frequent in Acton called Bagels Plus on Great Road in front of the Colonial Spirits lot.
re: LStaff
Got a half dozen at Rosenfeld's this morning and they were not as good as I remembered them to be. By the time I got home (20 minutes from being handed the bag and still warm), they were already too hard and crusty for my likes. Sort of an airy breadiness on the inside too, not dense and soft.
Next time I am craving bagels, I'll take the trip out to Acton instead and see how they live up to my memory..
re: zach272
I finally had Montreal bagels in Montreal last summer -- straight out of the oven at the legendary St. Viateur's -- and as someone who grew up on bagels in Brooklyn, I thought they were interesting but basically lousy: insubstantial and overly sweet. Iggy's bagels, which allegedly have some stylistic connection to Montreal (besides the fact that Iggy's founders spent time there) are not really at all like what I had in Montreal: way too chewy and none too tasty (and I say this is a huge fan of Iggy's breads in general). Hell, Breugger's is a better bagel than Iggy's. But, as other posters have pointed out, Katz's and Rosenfeld's are as good as you can get in Boston -- and both are nearly or as good as most bagel's you'll get in NYC these days.
I am Brooklyn born with strong NY roots and have made Bagel World (Salem, Reading, Danvers) my regular stop. Fantastic bagels and $7.25 a bakers dozen
Their french toast bagel is fantastic and I am an everything bagel kinda guy. So are their sandwiches good and the coffee is strong and flavorful.
re: ipsofatso
re: threedogs
I think they are specially formulated for toasting, so maybe that's why you found them smooshy. I don't they just seem fresh. Sure, I have a friend who will FedEx me some Tal bagels from NYC but the best on the NS is Bagel World. Well, and Katz's is pretty great but I am not in Chelsea too often,
re: ipsofatso
I toasted them - well, actually, the way I love me bagels is to cut them, them put them on bake in my toaster oven. Mmm - crunchy on the outside, hot & soft on the inside. Was so excited to get the Bagel World ones, only to be disappointed when they smooched flat.
I've seriously given up on finding any that I like. Day old Stop & Shop bagels fill my freezer til I start my attempt at baking my own, as soon as I get the barley malt I'm lacking (not super-fantastic, but they are, at least, not squishy, tops of what I can't stand - any day old bread is brought back to life w/a little water & some time in the oven).
I bake my own bread all the time - it's about time I learn how to do my own bagels.
re: threedogs
I've been thinking the same thing (if I can bake bread, I can bake bagels). At the risk of sending this into "Home Cooking" territory, there was a good post on bagel-making recently on Serious Eats. He links to a couple of different recipes.
My wife and I try to pick up bagels when we are visiting her family in NJ, and then freeze them for future cravings. If I want to buy bagels around here, I usually go to Bagels by US in Arlington. As someone already mentioned, they have H&H Bagels. Not perfect but better than most of my alternatives. Until I start baking them, that is!
re: threedogs
re: ipsofatso
I wouldn't agree that there are no bagels worth eating around here. Too many people make it sound like everything is a waste of time. Nonsense. In addition to some of the ones others have mentioned, If you're near the south shore try Gunther Tooties. There are several with one right in Quincy Center near the T, and I find them perfectly satisfactory.

re: threedogs
re: ipsofatso
I am SO getting some as soon as I get over there. I'm not in the area anymore, but I go back there to shop once & awhile. Thanks for the tip! Love the old-school chewy bagels - and hoping when I *finally* get around to trying my hand at baking, I am successful at replicating that chewiness.
As much as I love a poppyseed bagel with lox, cucumber, tomato, red onion, and cream cheese, growing up in Boston I was just never much of a bagel conossieur and while I heard friends from NYC complain about the quality of bagels here none of them could ever explain to me what was so bad about them.
What is the perfect bagel to you and what makes it perfect? Is there a difference between NYC & Montreal bagels? Do toppings/cream cheese come into play?
re: Klunco
I don't know about Montreal bagels, but what I like in a ny bagel is a good crust (boiled?) on the outside, good dense yeasty chewy interior, there should be enough turnover that at least one type is still warm, but they should be good warm, cold and even a day later. I find bruegers to be too light. and fluffy.
re: lc02139
That's my definition of a good bagel, too. I've had Montreal bagels (didn't have them there - was gifted a few bags). I enjoyed them but only because I think of them as something different than my beloved bagel - sweeter because they don't use salt in the recipe. Same w/the stuff I used to buy at my (former-I moved) local Russian grocery store. May have been bialyls. Not sure, as the label was Russian. Loved them as a different treat, but they still didn't fill my yet-to-be-satisfied bagel craving.
After the holidays I am SO working on making my own. Hey, if I'm successful, you're all invited. ;-] (haha - imagining my teeny apt filled w/bagel discerning chowhounds, lol)
re: threedogs
If my 15 YO neighbor can make them, you can too! http://www.fireandflour.com/food-blog... Hers are fabulous.
Hmm I wonder if I'll get flamed if I say I really enjoy a bagel fresh out of the oven at Brueggers. You definitely have to eat it within an hour of it being made, otherwise they end up being really tough and chewy, and if the timing is right, I think they are pretty good.
Also agree that Katz in Chelsea makes a good bagel, as does Rosenfeld's in Newton. But in Boston proper, I head to Brueggers and take my chances.
re: twentyoystahs
i always use breuggers as my back up if i can't get to rosenfelds. the bagels are smaller than at the other chains or local bakeries, and when fresh have a good crust to interior ratio (not too puffy). They are boiled and baked as they should be. Not the perfect bagel but an acceptable bagel.
re: twentyoystahs
Rosenfeld & Katz (the latter being more traditionally (smaller) sized).
Good bagels: must be boiled, must have a dense crumb by use of malt instead of other sugars that encourage too much airiness, should not be too big, and should have traditional flavorings (egg, seeds, onion/garlic, salt; nothing sweet). They should being staling quickly (not as fast as a proper hard roll, but still within a half a day). They should feel like lead on your teeth and in your stomach.
Most people actually don't like really good bagels. Hence the dominance of bread with holes that imitate them. The NY bagel world has been in decline for the past generation, with lots of large, mediocre bagels driving out the better quality items. The imitations are cheaper to make and more appealing to more people for differing reasons.
re: Karl S
Karl, I agree wholeheartedly on all points you mentioned. Which is why I'm really going to attempt making (good - hopefully) ones.
I do hope to try both Rosenfeld & Katz - I was in Chelsea yesterday, but, of course, I'm sure they were closed. At any rate, I was (am) in no shape to even add one more (even a short) stop. Have too much pain in my knee right now, and my expedition to Restaurant Depot took all I had! (but it was oh-so worth it).

The Walking Dead spin-off announced
A "companion series" to AMC's The Walking Dead is being developed for launch in 2015...
How about this for some news? Just as The Walking Dead is poised to enter its fourth season, AMC has announced its plans to extend the franchise with a brand new spin-off series.
"An entirely new story and cast of characters" is being planned for the proposed companion series to The Walking Dead. Announced today by AMC President Charlie Collier, the spin-off will provide "another unforgettable view of the zombie apocalypse".
Comic series creator and Executive Producer Robert Kirkman is to serve as EP on the new series alongside The Walking Dead's Gale Anne Hurd and David Alpert. Here's what Kirkman had to say about the in-development companion show:
"After 10 years of writing the comic book series and being so close to the debut of our fourth, and in my opinion, best season of the TV series, I couldn't be more thrilled about getting the chance to create a new corner of The Walking Dead universe. The opportunity to make a show that isn't tethered by the events of the comic book, and is truly a blank page, has set my creativity racing."
The first question has to be how this new series, planned for release in 2015, will distinguish itself from the existing drama? A blank page untethered to the events of the comic book presents infinite storytelling possibilities of course, but why distil them into a separate series rather than integrate them with what already exists? What form will the companion series take (duration, tone, crossover potential)? And ultimately, what does this mean for the future of The Walking Dead?
We'll keep you updated as more arrives.
The Walking Dead season four begins on AMC on Sunday the 13th of October.

Walking Dead: Miami - 'these guys... are dead interested in us'
I kinda want to pre-call it - It'll be an adaption of the video game.
Merle: From The Rooftop To Woodbury
Read the letterhacks pages from the comic and Kirkman has always been anti spin off and showed no interest what so ever regarding events else where away from his established group. TV show and he's excited! Smells of hypocrisy and sellout to me now he's flogging this corpse to death.
plenty of corpses to flog in TWD :)
'Better Call Hershel' ?
It should be filmed in Burnley(dingle town) Lancashire as theyd save a fortune by not having to use zombie make up on the extras, they can just use the locals(though technically the locals are all 12 fingered mutants, not zombies)
35 years!!!hahaha
Perhaps this spinoff will improve on the missed opportunity that this show has become, like showing us how the first people turned. God, this show takes a long time for anything important to happen.
The Walking Cuban
In may 1980, Fidel Castro opened the harbor at Mariel, Cuba, with the apparent intention of letting some of his people, join their relations in the United States. Within seventy-two hours, 3,000 U.S. boats were heading for Cuba. It soon became evident that Castro was forcing the boat owners to carry back with them not only their relations, but the dregs if his jails... and zombies. Of the 125,000 refugees that landed in Florida, an estimated 25,000, had criminal records. And were zombies.
...they are unwilling to adapt to our spirit of revolution...
We don't want them! We don't need them! We.. what are you doing?? Get back! Guards, stop them! Not me, them! I gave you an order! Let go...AAAAAHHHHHHH---!!!!

"Fly little pelicans! What? Oh, Herchel, i didnt hear jou, i got octopus comin out of my ears mayn. Don't worry, I live in this one. It's only season 1"
They barely have enough good content for 13 epsidoes of the current show and Kirkmans comic has been average for a long time now. It's a ratings winner, so I guess it's a no-brainer for amc.
This! My Name is Merle. LOL
HA HA you win :D
It'll be a Saturday morning cartoon called "Officer Rick and the All-American Forces of Freedom". They'll go around throwing eagles at zombies.
It'll be bloody marvellous.
Before he was ousted Frank Darabont had the idea of doing a standalone episode which followed a group of soldiers through the start of the outbreak in Atlanta with each member gradually meeting their fate until the last one is bitten and takes refuge in a tank where he dies, turning just as Rick enters it, thus tying it to the end of the first episode.
I think any kind of companion series would do well to be a collection of tales like this that tie in with the charachters from the main series.
His idea was to have one wildcard episode like this each series which the other showrunners didn't like, ironic now that they all want to do an ofshoot series.
Awesome. Hopefully it concentrates on the initial outbreak of the disease, or in the future when they try to repopulate the country and it goes wrong, like 28 Weeks Later movie .
It'd be great to think this would be set outside the US, and see how the plague is affecting other parts of the planet. Selfishly, the UK would be my ideal choice. Perhaps we could have Americans in the main roles rocking British accents as revenge for the ex-Pats in the current show! ;o)
Are you kidding?! It's got a freaking TIGER in it
Just from reading your post, I can tell you that your writing talent-level is head and shoulders above the actual writers of the show.
If only I could breakdance too.
Lee & Clementine
You hit the nail on the head. This show represents everything that is wrong with American television. If it's a ratings winner, who cares if it's any good....let's make more. If this show was made in the UK, they would've made 2 seasons and been done with it, and it would've been 10 times better. This is my opinion as a resident of North America.
Hmm, I call it 'The Yawning Dead', it's so boring when it should be so exciting! I suffered through season 3, but I doubt I will watch season 4.
Diagnosis Merele-der.
Or they could use Bushmills in Northern Ireland. According to a U.N. report it is the most inbred townland in western europe. That's not a fact they use when promoting the whiskey though.

iPad 2 and iPhone 4 3D demonstration, no glasses required [video]
The EHCI Research Group has produced a demonstration video of 3D without glasses on an iPad 2 and iPhone 4 that will make your jaw drop to the floor! The possibility of glasses–free 3D hitting iOS devices has just become a reality.
Head-Coupled Perspective (HCP) on mobile devices allows to create a glasses-free monocular 3D display. It is based on a efficient head-tracker that uses the front-facing camera of the device. We use an off-axis projection in order to adapt the perspective of the 3D scene according to the head's position of the user. Such spatially-aware mobile display enables to improve the possibilities of interaction.
The videos are after the break, you have to see them to believe how good they are. When you have, let us know what you think in the comments!
[EHCI via macstories]
There are 57 comments. Add yours.
The wii head tracking was achieved using a completely different technique. If required the infrared camera in the wiimote to track two infrared emitters that you would strap to your head (mounted on the sides of glasses).
This technology is probably doing facial recognition to track your head movement, and requires no additional hardware. It is a very clever technology use of the front facing camera, and ignoring battery issues it is a great idea.
You beat me to this comment still pretty sweet though
My brain hurts
I was prepared to be let down. Now, all I can say is WOW!
Is this A Brand New Phone or is This An Update to the IPhone 4 ? TeamBON
Very cool.
This needs to be in Cydia. Like, now.
This is too good to be true...
I agree with you. I do think this was more about possibilities than practicality though. Plus there are battery improvements being made all the time, so within 2 years maybe? Sure looks cool!
This trick has been used on the DSi (in a DSiWare game if I'm not mistaken) for the last year or so...
3D is really overrated. Sure, its cool technology - but it gets annoying after a while.
That's pretty cool, but I still don't like 3D.
u should like an old grumpy person... who cares
I'm not impressed at all. Of course it is a good technology, but: 1) it is useless
2) consumes a lot of battery life
3) works only in perfect conditions(it wont work when its dark)
That is what deepend and or 3Dboard needs to be like. Or is jailbreak the only future for something like this? Could/will apple utilize this?
I hope these guys enjoy their new position and perks with Apple.
Wow super cool
Just had a thought when watching this...I wonder how well it works with non-static images? More to the point, this video was produced demonstrating images that are static in nature, such as the varied-height targets, and the "cubed" home screen. I wonder how well it would work with games and videos?
looks good, but still not convinced on the 3d thing yet. but yeah this needs to be in cydia.
for select apps this would be amazing i wouldnt want the whole os to be like this though but awesome work keep it up man
This is not the first time this method at creating a 3D affect on a smartphone has been done. This is very much like VR Hologram for Windows Mobile produced by Pauloke on XDA in 2008. Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425216.
Obviously this one for the iPhone is much more advanced, but I feel, that like VR Hologram, it is bound to lose its 'wow' affect a few hours, if not minutes, once you begin to use it. It will start to become irritating and you will want to remove it.
I also feel that 3D is best left for certain aspects and applications, such as pictures and videos, etc.
This app has been around for a while now. Does the same stuff from the Johnny Lee video.
That app just uses accelerometers to create the effect. The above videos are using head tracking to let you 'look' around the '3D' environment. Of course that has also been in the app store for a while:
Whether they have simply implemented a better headtracking algorithm than what Holotoy uses I don't know, but Holotoy doesn't work very well. It is laggy, inaccurate and often loses the lock in my experience. The effect also simply doesn't seem to work as well on a screen as small as a phone.
This headtracking would be good on a XBox or PS3 FPS game with a big TV.
Ugh... The pretentious piano music in the videos is driving me nuts.
Also, the writer of this article seems to be not quite clear on the distinction between:
A) A rendered 3D perspective - what this does and "3D games".s
B) Actual 3D perception due to each eye seeing different images (what occurs in 3D films/TV and on handhelds with 3D screens)
Both of these could be combined to some interesting effect - BUT THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING.
Bye 3DS. I wonder how this could affect iPad 2 gaming.
Very impressive! Doesn't seem like a 3D screen you'll be able to share however. I wonder what happens when two faces enter the camera view.
Um...nobody thinks this is fake? You're watching this in a YouTube video on a 2D screen, and somehow the images pop right out of the phone...no smoke & mirrors here ;)
Now I get it, it's redrawing a 2d image from the perspective of your current viewing location to make it appear 3d, smart but still 2d, and not the same as 3ds
Erm, the 3DS is still 2D as well. It's just using a parallax barrier so that one eye sees one image and the other eye sees another. The brain does the rest. The parallax barrier is cheaper, but then again, this method appears to work in more viewing angles resulting in higher data and design requirements. The key here is obviously the latency between camera, software to screen drawing is low enough to trick the viewer that you're looking at a 3D object through "real-time" perspective change.
Not sure if there is enough computational power in the iPad 2 to simulate a 3D game while tracking head movements, changing perspective in real-time, and following game control inputs.
Neither are a holodeck. ;) Or the matrix. ;) Or whatever full simulation of all senses technology is out there.
the ipad2 def has enough power to do that... the og ipad, no way
Is it really possible to fall in love with an app?
... i think so!
This isn't quite the same as the 3DS and other 3D displays, because with those your eyes each get a slightly different image so you see it as 3D without moving the screen or your head. Still cool though.
Yes please.
Cool parallax effect but not actually 3D. This article suggests this is a new form of glasses-free 3D, which it is not. For it to be 3D, that is to say stereoscopic, each eye would require a slightly different image. However, in this case, each eye is presented the same image all the time but the trick is in the parallax illusion created by moving the device around.
I think suggesting this as a new 3D display alternative is pretty misleading considering most 3D content that is popular today does not require you to move the source around (movies and games). That's not to say that games and other media might not employ this technique to deliver unique experiences but current 3D media would not be viewable as 3D with this technique.
Breath-takingly effing amazing!! When does this technology debut?! I'm super pumped!!
Too bad only one person can view the screen in 3d at a time.
It's impossible for two people to view this correctly the way this 3d works...
This is really cool!!!
Its faux 3D and not auhentic steroscopic 3D, which makes this a neat party trick, but no more than that.
Love it!
When will this come out
This would be very cool on the iOS devices I would love to have it and to have the apps working on it kinda like bumptop for pc
Pretty part of content. I simply stumbled upon your blog and in accession capital to claim that I get actually enjoyed account your blog posts. Any way I'll be subscribing for your augment or even I fulfillment you get right of entry to constantly rapidly.
You really make it appear so easy along with your presentation but I to find this matter to be really something which I believe I'd never understand. It kind of feels too complicated and very large for me. I'm looking forward for your next put up, I?ll attempt to get the dangle of it!
Its like you learn my mind! You seem to know so much approximately this, like you wrote the ebook in it or something. I believe that you just can do with a few percent to force the message home a bit, however other than that, that is excellent blog. A great read. I'll certainly be back.

Bangladesh is donating US$ 1 million to the US Redcross as humanitarian aid for the victims of the hurricane Katrina.
Meanwhile the Bangladesh Ambassador to the United States announced at the FOBANA Conference (the largest Bangladeshi-American organization) held in Miami on Sept. 2 to come forward and extend help to the victims.
Bangladeshi blogger Imtiaz says that he would prefer to send out Bangladeshi experts on disaster management instead of monetary aid as no doubt what-so-ever that the Bangladeshi strategic knowledge on this is the best in the world. That still remains as an option if the US authorities are interested.

The Jeffersonville baseball team wanted to become the third school in Hoosier Hills Conference history to capture three consecutive conference titles on Saturday at Don Poole Field.
Visiting Columbus East wanted to win the 2014 league championship a little bit more.
The Olympians claimed their first HHC Tournament crown since 2001 with a 5-1 victory over the Red Devils in Saturday's championship game. The loss snapped Jeff's nine-game winning streak in the HHC Tourney.
The Jeff bats struggled against East starter Cam Curry. The junior right-hander kept the Red Devils off balance with his fastball and breaking pitch as he did an efficient job throwing them for strikes.
Curry threw all seven innings, allowing one earned run on three hits with five strikeouts and no walks. He improved his record to 3-0. Jeffersonville (14-6) only had three baserunners in the game.
"He did a great job out there against a great baseball team," East coach Jon Gratz said. "Any time you beat Jeffersonville, it's a big deal. We played some good defense behind Cam and he made some good pitches."
Jeff coach Derek Ellis gave plenty of kudos to Curry afterwards.
"Curry pitched very, very well," the Red Devils' second-year manager said. "He did an extremely nice job of staying ahead in the count and making a lot of first-pitch strikes. He was making us hit the pitch that he wanted us to hit."
Curry received a big cushion before he even stepped on the mound.
The 16-5 Olympians scored five runs in the top of the first inning off Red Devils' starter Drew Ellis, sending nine batters to the plate. The first five East batters reached before its first out.
Sophomore left fielder Nick Andrie provided the Olympians' initial run with an RBI single to left field to plate Curry from second base. That was followed by an opposite-field double by Will Anderson to the right-center gap to drive in a pair of runs, putting East up 3-0. It was one of several highlights for Anderson during the tournament as he tossed a no-hitter against Seymour in last Monday's opening-round game.
After Drew Ellis struck out Peyton Gray with a high fastball for the first out, the Olympians' Sam Claycamp had a fielder's choice to knock in Anderson from third, making the score 4-0.
The next batter, Connor Roberts, hit a deep double to left that came off a Jeff outfielder's glove near the fence. The two-bagger plated senior catcher Christian Wichman from third to give East a 5-0 lead.
"It's nice to have a little bit of a cushion early. But I would've liked to have seen them keep up the intensity the whole game," Gratz said.
In the bottom of the first, senior right fielder Hayden Robb smacked a one-out single to left to become Jeff's first baserunner. He advanced to second on Drew Ellis' groundout to shortstop. But the inning ended when senior Chandler Dale popped out to second.
"If you take away the first inning, we win the game. But that's baseball. What are you going to do?" Derek Ellis said. "I didn't think it was going to be a five-run first. It's a tough deficit to come back on against a good team like that."
The Red Devils finally got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the fourth. Drew Ellis drilled a double into the left-field corner with one out. Dale then knocked in courtesy runner Jeremiah Phelps from second with a single up the middle.
But Jeff did nothing with the sticks after that. Curry retired the final 11 batters he faced.
"I think the majority of it was Curry. He did a very nice job," Derek Ellis said about his team's offensive struggles on Saturday. "But the other part of it is we need to be more disciplined, too. We're down 5-0 and we come out in the third inning and he gets out of it with a three-pitch inning. We don't make him work. We just go up there trying or pressing to make something happen instead of letting the game come to us and making him work and seeing a bunch of pitches.
"I'm a little disappointed in that. But I'm not disappointed in the loss. I mean we got beat by a good team."
Along with his stellar performance on the mound, Curry led the Olympians at the plate by going 2-for-4 with a run scored. He was the only multihit player in the contest.
Drew Ellis suffered the first loss in his high school career, dropping his record to 3-1. The senior right-hander pitched five innings, giving up all five East runs — three of which were earned — on seven hits. He struck out six, walked three and hit one batter.
After the five-run first, the University of Louisville signee threw four scoreless innings and gave up three hits.
"He threw well. He finally settled in and got going," Derek Ellis said about the final four frames of his son's outing. "I would've loved to have left him in, but his pitch count was really high. He did a nice job after the first inning, and really in the first inning, he didn't do bad there. He just threw a couple of pitches on the outside part of the plate, and they drove it, hit it well and got the runs. It wasn't his best first inning."
Jeff senior Josh Burke pitched the final two innings. He surrendered no runs on one hit, fanning two and walking none.
Coach Ellis says the Red Devils must put Saturday's discouraging loss behind them and focus on the Class 4A New Albany Sectional later this month. Jeff has won two sectional championships in a row.
"All is not lost. I mean yes, we wanted to win the conference. It would've been nice to win it three years in a row," he said. "But it's not sectional. We're going to keep plugging away and work towards that."
The Red Devils visit Madison on Tuesday. They defeated the Cubs 3-2 at Madison's Gary O'Neal Field on Thursday in the HHC Tournament semifinals.
Columbus East 500 000 0—5 8 0
Jeffersonville 000 100 0—1 3 0
W — Cam Curry (3-0). L — Drew Ellis (3-1). 2B — Will Anderson (CE), Connor Roberts (CE), Drew Ellis (J).
Records — Columbus East 16-5, Jeffersonville 14-6.

Record Number of Students Control Space Station Camera
HOUSTON, TX, March 04, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Ever wonder what it's like to control a camera on the
International Space Station
? More than 30,000 students found out in late January as part of the
Earth Knowledge Acquired by Middle school students
) mission. More than 380 school groups from the United States and around the world were involved, setting a participation record. Typically, between 8,000 and 10,000 students take part in a given EarthKAM mission.
"The increase in the number of students participating in this space station mission is incredible," said Leland Melvin, NASA's associate administrator for education. "EarthKAM allows these future scientists and engineers to take an active role in research about the space station, and that truly honors the vision and legacy of
Sally Ride
EarthKAM conducts four missions a year and the next one is planned for spring.
EarthKAM allows students and teachers to explore Earth from the unique perspective of space. During three to five EarthKAM missions each year, students can control a digital camera aboard the space station to capture images of almost any place on Earth. These images are downloaded from the space station to EarthKAM and are then available on the Web for viewing and sharing by participating classrooms.
Along with learning guides, students use the images to study Earth and space science, mathematics, geography and other humanities subjects. The late Sally Ride, America's first woman in space, started the program, originally called KidSat, in 1995. The KidSat camera flew on several space shuttle missions and was modified into the current EarthKAM project in 2001.
EarthKAM is sponsored by Sally Ride Science, the company Ride founded to inspire girls and boys to pursue careers in science and engineering. The control center for the experiment is on the campus of the University of California, San Diego.

EAST MANATEE -- Hundreds of people gathered Saturday near the banks of the Braden River Saturday to taste some gumbo, enjoy a libation and hear some home-grown bluegrass and country music.
The Braden River Music Festival and Gumbo Cook-Off was held at the idyllic Linger Lodge Restaurant and Campground off of 85th Street in East Manatee.
What started three years ago as a small bluegrass festival has become a more eclectic event, with Americana, country and even some rock music.
"This is the best one yet," said Mark Horn, music organizer and mandolinist of the group HWY 41 SOUTH, which performed along with Mitch Lind and The Lagerheads, The Schmitz Brothers, the Generations Bluegrass band, Kim Betts and Gamble Creek, and Roy Schneider.
Horn and Dave LaRusso, the general manager at Linger Lodge, said the main goal is simply for people to have a good time. "My goal is to break even," Horn said. "I've never not broken even," he said with a smile.

Special to SEGAZINE
The parade of indicted Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal defendants turning themselves in at the Fulton County Jail didn't start early Monday as expected, apparently because of paperwork delays.
Despite earlier plans by the lawyer for two defendants for his clients to turn themselves in around daybreak Monday, no defendants had arrived at the jail through 10:30 a.m.
Jail spokeswoman Tracy Flanagan told a throng of reporters and photographers outside the jail that the arrest warrants had not yet been entered into the Georgia Crime Information Center's database.
Until that happens, the defendants cannot be booked into the jail and subsequently released on bond, according to Flanagan.
She did not know what was causing the holdup in entering the warrants in the system, which is operated by the GBI.
If they time it right, some may not have to trade their street clothes for the orange jailhouse jumpsuits. They will already have made arrangements for bond and arrived at the jail early enough to be processed before court sessions start.
Otherwise, those who haven't made bond will stay locked up.
Thirty-five former Atlanta public school employees were named in a 65-count indictment returned Friday alleging racketeering, false statements and writings and other charges related to alleged cheating on standardized test scores and the covering up of those actions.
Retired Atlanta school Superintendent Beverly Hall, some of her top deputies, principals, teachers and a secretary have until Tuesday to turn themselves in. Once processed in the jail, they will have to go before a magistrate, where bond is discussed. The grand jury said Hall's bond should be set at $7.5 million, but the judge can set a lesser amount.
"We plan on surrendering Monday morning around 7 or 7:30," attorney Gerald Griggs, who represents teachers Starlette Mitchell and Angela Williamson, said over the weekend. "We have made arrangements for bond. That's why they are turning in so early."
Other lawyers representing defendants in the case said Saturday they had not decided when their clients would surrender, but it would be before the deadline Tuesday.
The suspected test cheating at dozens of Atlanta public schools was first reported after The Atlanta Journal-Constitution detected statistically improbable increases in test scores at one Atlanta school in 2008. The following year, the AJC published another analysis that found suspicious score changes on the 2009 mandated Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests at a dozen Atlanta schools.
A subsequent state investigation resulted in a July 2011 report that depicted a culture that rewarded cheaters, punished whistle-blowers and covered up improprieties. The report on the investigation described organized wrongdoing that robbed tens of thousands of children of an honest appraisal of their abilities.
Investigators concluded that Hall, who retired from APS in July 2011, knew or should have known about cheating.
Bonuses for Hall and top administrators were the rewards for improved test scores.
Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said the children are the victims; some of them were promoted despite reading far below their grade levels.
Hall is charged with one count of violating Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act and four other charges, which could mean up to 40 years in prison if she is convicted. The indictment portrays her at the center of the alleged wrongdoing that resulted in criminal charges against 34 other people, including the highest levels of the Hall administration.
Hall's lawyer, Richard Deane, a former U.S. attorney, could not be reached for comment Saturday, but he said in a statement released Friday that the former superintendent denies involvement in any cheating on the CRCT and has done nothing wrong.
Mitchell, a former teacher at Parks Middle School, is accused of racketeering and three counts of making false statements and writings. Prosecutors said she lied to GBI agents three times about knowing of suspected cheating at the school.
Williamson, also accused of racketeering, is charged with two counts of making false statements and writings and two counts of false swearing. Prosecutors said she lied in her disciplinary hearings, misled GBI agents and gave students at Dobbs Elementary School the correct answers on the CRCT.
"It shocked my clients," Griggs said of the indictments.
He said there were "a lot of tears" when he told them about the charges. Both women spent the weekend with family.
"We plan to vigorously defend this," Griggs said. "I don't think the pubic realizes they are educators and now they have to be booked (into jail) and prosecuted. (They] hope they get bond or they may have to sit in jail."
Prosecutors said those indicted Friday are likely facing their first experience with the criminal justice system and being accused of a crime.
The prison sentence for a racketeering conviction is five to 20 years. The other crimes listed in the indictment — false statements and writings, false swearing, theft by taking and influencing witnesses — have prison sentences of one to five years.

At the beginning of A.C.O.D., the new comedy from director Stu Zicherman, Carter (Adam Scott) has, in his words, "kinda got it figured out." His parents, who divorced when he was a kid (the title stands for "Adult Child of Divorce"), haven't spoken in 20 years, and it's working out fine for everyone; Carter deals with them as he needs to, keeps them far apart, and as a result, they're in "a period of real calm." But that all comes to an end when his brother (Clark Duke) gets engaged. Suddenly, the parents (played, uproariously, by Catherine O'Hara and Richard Jenkins) have to interact. … Read More

10 Long-Awaited Cult Movie Projects We'd Like to See Kickstarted
After five years of "what ifs" and "maybes" and "we'd like tos" and various other forms and hemming and/or hawing, the feature film follow-up to the much-beloved, low-rated TV masterpiece (I do not throw that word around lightly!) Veronica Mars is finally really going to happen — thanks to a studio-approved Kickstarter campaign to raise preliminary funds that pretty much wildly exceeded anyone's expectations. Of course, any silver cloud must have a gray lining, and the project's tricky intermingling with the kind of Faceless Bad Corporation the platform was ostensibly created to circumvent has already prompted plenty of hand-wringing. But the project's remarkable Kickstarter success (it reached its goal in ten hours) is a testament to the feverish nature of the show's fans — and is, in fact, a good way for said fans to prove to the holders of rights (and purse-strings) that they're serious about supporting the films they're passionate about. So, could other long-desired films adopt a similar approach? After the jump, we suggest ten more cult films that could finally find their way to the big screen by following Veronica's lead. … Read More
TV's All-Time Greatest Himbos
Damn those short HBO seasons. This year's True Blood run seems like it just started, yet we're now only three days away from the finale. We enjoyed this season a great deal, the Vampire Authority's internal intrigue providing a welcome break from Sookie Stackhouse's supernatural love triangle — not to mention a surprisingly insightful commentary on what happens when church and state mingle. But one character whose development has remained fairly unexamined this season is Sookie's brother, Jason. Originally presented as an empty-headed looker with a womanizing streak, he's recently turned the himbo stereotype on its head. To celebrate his under-the-radar evolution (and the fact that he's still sometimes a little too stupid for his own good), we've collected a selection of TV's all-time greatest male bimbos — or "himbos" — most of whom aren't nearly as multi-dimensional. … Read More
Watch Ken Marino's New Web Series 'Burning Love'
As we all anxiously await an update on the Party Down movie, here's a bit of consolation: Burning Love, a new web series directed by Ken Marino and written by his wife Erica Oyama that sees him briefly reuniting with former castmates Adam Scott, Ryan Hansen, Kristen Bell, and Ken Jeong (in a wig!). A hilarious send-up of reality shows like The Bachelor, Burning Love stars Marino as a sensitive fireman who's looking for someone who can make him laugh, isn't afraid of robots, and is possibly ethnic. From the first three episodes that debuted over the weekend, this silly series — which also features cameos by Ben Stiller and wife Christine Taylor, Malin Ackerman, and Michael Ian Black (who manages to out Chris Harrison Chris Harrison) — has a lot of potential. Click through to watch the possibly NSFW clips, and if find yourselves as hooked as we are, check back in every Monday and Thursday for new, bite-sized installments. … Read More
10 Television Parties Gone Wrong
Sunday's episode of Girls reminded us that "crack is wack." Worlds collided at a party in Bushwick where Hannah peeled back another layer of the oddball onion that is Adam, Marnie pouted over Charlie, Jessa was Jessa, and Shoshanna required an Olympic "spirit guide." As soon as a feathery Jessa called it the "best party ever," it was obvious we were in for a major debacle that became blisteringly entertaining. It's hardly the first time a television party has gone off the rails, and we wanted to revisit a few awkward and embarrassing network get-togethers to relive the mayhem. Head past the break to take a look at ten television parties gone wrong, and invite us to a few that aren't on our list in the comments below. … Read More

But what should you do with the vast, invaluable TV knowledge you acquired over your Netflix hibernation period? Throw a party, of course! But not just any party — a Mad Men or Freaks and Geeks-style bash.

TV's 10 Greatest Co-Star Reunions
Fellow TV geeks, we have a future of several possibly great former co-star reunions ahead of us. Namely, we can look forward to West Wing alums Rob Lowe and Bradley Whitford on Parks and Rec in March (although it's yet to be confirmed the two will actually cross paths), David Schwimmer and Lisa Kudrow on Web Therapy this summer, and even John Goodman and Roseanne Barr on her forthcoming show Downwardly Mobile. And if you're looking for just one reason to justify Are You There, Chelsea?, it's the Laura Prepon/Wilmer Valderrama hook-up expected later this month. So while you wait just a short while longer for the That '70s Show Season 3 faux Fez-Donna date to become a reality, allow us to offer some healthy distraction as we reminisce about memorable co-star reunions in TV history. Exploitative ratings gimmick, genius, or both? We'll let you be the judge, and as always, please share your personal favorites in the comments. … Read More

By Mary Wade Burnside
Times West Virginian
Martha Offutt is a breast cancer survivor and a needle artist, so when she was asked to embroider flowers on pieces of cloth featuring the names of others who had gone through the same ordeal, she took special care in her work.
"Because of having had cancer, I could empathize with all those names I was embroidering flowers for," said Offutt, who lived in Fairmont until moving to Martinsburg to be closer to family a few years ago.
"And as I embroidered their flower, I looked at that person's name — a lot of the people I knew — and for everyone I had a prayer and positive thoughts about their survival as I was working."
Offutt included her name on one panel and stitched an elaborate trio of pink roses next to it. She was diagnosed in 2000, the year before the first panel was made, and her treatment included a lumpectomy and radiation.
The women had written their names on pieces of cloth starting back in 2001 during an annual Fairmont General Hospital event, now called Women's Health Awareness Day, which will be held from 4-8 p.m. Friday in the Hamilton Conference Room as well as other parts of the hospital.
Then, said Tricia Julian, the hospital's program coordinator of oncology events, she gave the first three years' worth of panels to Offutt to do the embroidery. Now that she has moved away, she plans to find someone else to embroider flowers for the rest of the panels. Then they will be pieced together to make quilts.
Women will have the opportunity to write their names on a panel for 2013 at the event, as well as participate in health screenings including blood pressure, body fat index and bone density screenings.
They also can learn about mammograms and see if they qualify for any programs that could help them, such as Bonnie's Bus through the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center, and the West Virginia Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program (WVBCCSP).
And they also will be able to peruse the hospital, seeing the dedication of the new digital mammography machine installed this summer after a year and a half campaign to raise $500,000.
They also will be able to see the presentation of two pink quilts from Warriors in Pink, the Ford Motor Co.'s effort to raise awareness and fight breast cancer.
A company representative called Julian and asked if Fairmont General would want to be the recipient of two quilts made through the Warriors in Pink effort.
"I replied that we really would be interested in that," Julian said. "We've been corresponding back and forth and they gave us the choice of one large one or two smaller ones."
Julian chose two smaller ones, thinking they would be easier to display.
The two that she got are not the exact same size. The panels, all made by people participating in Susan G. Komen Foundation events in the Pittsburgh area, are about 4 1/2 inches each. One has 49 panels and the other 54.
Most of the panels are pink but others are not, including one with a Pittsburgh Steelers background featuring a pink ribbon and a stark black square. Some squares feature personal messages or advice, ranging from "Grama Bert Always in Our Heart" to "Early Detection Saves Lives."
"There is one that says 'Men, Too,' so that person wanted us to think about the fact that men get breast cancer, too," Julian said.
One panel has the word "Love" spelled out in buttons; another one states "Fight Like a Girl."
Both quilts are bordered by pink fabric. They officially will be presented on Friday to the hospital by Kyle Hamilton, the president of the Wilson Ford dealership in Fairmont.
"Normally in the springtime, when they hold the Race for the Cure, typically what they do is ask participants to bring in a swatch of cloth or a T-shirt that has special meaning to them that can be used to make a quilt, and that's where they get the patchwork stuff to make quilts, from race participants," Hamilton said.
The Ford Motor Co. has been active in the fight against breast cancer for 20 years, according to information on its Warriors in Pink website, www.warriorsinpink.ford.com. Warriors in Pink specifically was founded in 2006. Since then, according to Hamilton, $120 million has been raised by Ford dealers, mainly through the Susan G. Komen Foundation, for breast cancer research and resources.
"We've been doing the quilt program for a number of years," he added. "It's a good program and we're proud to be associated with it."

"This card was perfect for us who have a daughter that will be called by her nickname. We were able to highlight her nickname and then place her full name in the gray box. We have a hard time narrowing down picture options, so we even stuck one on the back as well. The paper and printing are top notch. We've received nothing but compliments from those who have received our announcement."
"I used this birth announcement as my daughters 9 month pictures for family and friends! I loved it! The only draw back to this card was the size restraint on the text. The program kept me from making the text larger, which in turn made the text difficult to read in some areas. And when I got the product I could see that there was plenty of room for more space in the text area."
"I was looking for a birth announcement that would hold multiple images, and a design that would stand out in a crowd of pink and purple announcements. This fit my needs perfectly!! It was so easy to upload photos and experiment with different positioning. I was thrilled with the quality of the paper when it arrived (quickly too!)"
"Tiny prints provides excellent customer service. It is very easy to design your own product. This announcement came out perfect and was made of great quality!"
"Making this card was so easy. I didn't even need to alter the photos I had, they came out perfectly printed. The process was straightforward and quality is gorgeous! So happy with how these turned out compared to others I've seen from various people!"

Considering how well Mariano Rivera has pitched this season, it shouldn't surprise anyone that someone's having second thoughts about his impending retirement.
Nope, not Rivera. He still sounds like a guy who's on his way out. It's his manager who's not ready to say goodbye:
Joe Girardi will spend part of the coming offseason advising Mariano Rivera to reconsider his scheduled retirement, the New York Yankees' manager told ESPNNewYork.com.
"I don't see any reason why he couldn't do it next year, I don't," Girardi said. "He's made it pretty clear that he doesn't want to [return], but I always say, you know, January rolls around and sometimes you have a different feel about what you want to do."
Rivera, 43, announced during spring training that his 19th season with the Yankees would be his last.
"I believe he's going to retire," Girardi said. "But as I've said, sometimes when you're a player in the midst of a season and you're grinding it out, your mind is one thing, but when you get away for a couple of months and your body feels pretty good, your mind is another thing."
Good luck, Joe. I hope your entreaties carry the day.
But I'll be shocked if they do.
I believe Girardi's exactly right: There's no obvious reason why Rivera couldn't pitch brilliantly again next year, too. Without any context, we would not expect a 44-year-old relief pitcher to thrive against the best hitters on Earth. But without any context, we would not expect a 43-year-old relief pitcher save 40 games with a 2.11 ERA and five times more strikeouts than walks. But that's what Mariano Rivera is doing this season.
Would relying on a 44-year-old closer be risky? Sure. But just slightly more risky than relying on a 43-year-old closer, and that's worked out pretty well. I suspect Girardi wants Rivera back for two reasons. One, he likes having a great pitcher in his bullpen; fortunately for Girardi, he's got David Robertson next season. And two, Girardi, a baseball lifer, will simply miss seeing baseball royalty every day in the clubhouse, and often on the mound.
I won't miss Rivera's saves. I will miss his himness, and so I selfishly hope the missing-himness is delayed for as long as possible.
I think we've got another month, though. Maybe a bit longer if the Yankees actually sneak into the playoffs. But that's it. I don't imagine that quitting something you're good at is easy. Especially when it pays exceptionally well. I've found that something difficult becomes easier when I tell someone I'm going to do it. I suspect that Rivera announced his retirement for a number of reasons, and that one of them was that he thought he might be tempted to come back in 2014. But by announcing his retirement last spring, and then going through a carefully choreographed farewell tour, he's made it very difficult for himself to reverse course.
Might he come back? Sure, anything's possible. But Mariano Rivera strikes me as a man of his word. I do hope he breaks his word, this time. But one of the reasons we love him is because he probably will not.

Sabathia plans to begin throwing after ChristmasBy
Via Jeff Bradley: CC Sabathia plans to begin throwing after Christmas following late-October surgery to clean out a bone spur from his pitching elbow. "That's when I always begin throwing," said the left-hander. "That's normal. The past three seasons I waited until Christmas to begin throwing. Before that, I started earlier. But I have been giving myself a break the last few years. I should be right on schedule. Feeling great. The range of motion is back. I'm not worried. I'm excited about the season."
Sabathia, 32, will be on a "modified" pitching schedule in camp but (unsurprisingly) the Yankees haven't really explained what that means. The important thing is that he's on schedule to begin throwing soon and is expected to be ready in time for both Spring Training and Opening Day.

all is want for christmas is 80+ starts from cc/hirok/andy
I would take the over. CC has never started less than 28 games in a season, and 2012 was the first time since 2006 he started under 33. Kuroda has started less than 31 once in 5 seasons. Pettitte is a bit more of an unknown. His 2012 injury wasn't an arm problem, and was actually a pretty freak incident not directly involving wear. If CC and Kuroda make the ~64 starts that they make most years you only need 16 starts from Pettitte. So, I think there's a very good chance you see them make 80 starts, and would ask for a C for Christmas.
Who would you like to see at catcher? Anyone in particular.
Since it's Christmas I want Buster Posey, I'll settle for Carlos Santana though, hell who I'm I kidding at this point on a one year deal I'll willing to settle for AJ and his excessive whining.
I'd settle for AJ as well.
No one in particular. I thought Soto could have been interesting, though I don't know enough about the causes of his recent collapse to feel too strongly. Realistically, I guess I'm hoping one or two of their in-house options get hot and the position isn't an enormous hole. I can see Shoppach and/or AJP on a one year deal. Hoping for a trade, I guess, which is tough to predict who is available for a reasonable price.
I wouldn't mind AJP. Although he is a jerk but hey we already have Youk on the team so why not.
I just hope it's better than the "Joba Rules" schedule

Even if your baby is a good sleeper, there may be times when you need a bit of extra help at bedtime.
Settling and swaddling
Newborn babies who are more unsettled may benefit from skin-to-skin contact, lots of cuddles and possibly swaddling in a cotton sheet. If you're unsure, ask your midwife to show you how to swaddle your baby.
Motion and noise
Newborns find movement very soothing. If your baby won't settle, try rocking them in your arms, taking them out in the pram, or in a sling or baby carrier. Suckling is also very soothing, so try a breastfeed or soother. Some newborns also find 'white noise' calming (eg a vacuum cleaner or hairdryer).
Do not disturb
Make sure you don't disturb your baby by constantly checking in on them – try using a baby monitor instead. Some monitors have a built-in room thermometer to alert you if the room gets too hot or cold, as it's important not to let your baby overheat as they sleep. If your baby is older, or a noisy sleeper, look for a monitor with adjustable sensitivity. You won't hear every sound, but you'll know if they need you. A talkback function on your monitor means that you can reassure your baby without going into the room. This is really useful for sleep training, or you can use it to let your baby know you're on your way.
Settling themselves
When your baby is a few weeks old, it's a good idea to try and encourage them to settle themselves to sleep. Put them into their cot in a drowsy, relaxed state, and leave them to fall asleep without you. Return to soothe them if they need it.
The sound of your voice can help soothe your baby back to sleep – try singing a lullaby, or putting on a CD.
Soft light is comforting for many babies, and useful when checking on your baby too. The nightlight on your monitor, for example, is not too bright to disturb your baby. Other babies prefer things to be completely dark, and in that case you should consider investing in black-out blinds.
Sleep bags
A special baby sleep bag is a great alternative to sheets and blankets. Sleep bags are tog-rated for different seasons, and are a good way to make sure your baby is at the right temperature – not too hot and not too cold.
Bedtime routine
From about two to three months, babies and parents really benefit from a bedtime routine. In the early evening try a bath, a quick massage, a feed and maybe a special soothing bedtime song. From about six months, introduce a story and maybe a sleep time teddy or bunny.
Night feeds
At night, keep lights low, avoid too much stimulation and only change your baby's nappy if necessary.

Gooding & Company, the official auction house of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, realized more than $113.7 million at its Pebble Beach Auction during Monterey's Annual Classic Car Auction week. This auction total is an outstanding achievement and a world record sales total for an automotive auction.
Twenty-four collector cars sold in excess of $1 million, highlighted by the summit of the weekend on Sunday evening when the von Krieger Special Roadster, a 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540 K, sold for $11,770,000, a double world record for a Mercedes-Benz and a pre-war car at auction. Seventy-six years after leaving the factory, this marks the first time the extraordinary Mercedes-Benz motor car was presented for public sale. With remarkable lineage, exceptional provenance and a rich international history akin to a Hollywood romance, the sensational von Krieger Special Roadster is the most significant Mercedes-Benz to ever come to auction.
A 1960 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider sold for $11,275,000, realizing a world record for a Ferrari California Spider. As recorded by famed Ferrari historian Stan Nowak, this GT was one of the nine LWB California Spiders specially built for competition purposes. It is also the 45th of 50 LWB California Spiders built, ordered by Luigi Chinetti, the most significant proponent of racing Californias, and reportedly intended for the use of famed North American Racing Team driver Ed Hugus.
Amid the multi-million dollar auction records, a charitable spirit was high. On Saturday evening, Jay Leno surprised the audience by making a special guest appearance with David Gooding and Auctioneer Charlie Ross on stage and auctioning his personal 2012 Fiat 500 Prima Edizione to benefit the Fisher House Foundation. United States Secretary of Defense the Honorable Leon Panetta and Chief of Staff of the United States Army General Raymond Odierno joined Leno to introduce the nationally praised four-star, non-profit organization that provides a wide range of services and support to the families of wounded American solders.
The first-edition Fiat 500, valued between $25,000–$35,000 according to the auction estimate, realized an extraordinary final price of $385,000 and attracted an additional $215,000 of charitable contributions, resulting in $600,000 in fundraising for the foundation.
Ferrari was a big part of the weekend with eight models between 1953–1962 selling above $2 million each. A significant offering for enthusiasts, the Sherman M. Wolf Collection of four exceptional cars resulted in a total of $21.5 million in sales. Of the collection, the 1960 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider Competizione attracted the most demand selling for $11,275,000, which was also the second most valuable car sold at Monterey auction week. On Sunday, the 1957 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider Prototype sold for $6.6 million.

My kingdom for a corpseFebruary 08,2013Richard III is staging a comeback.
A skeleton identified as the last Plantagenet king of England was recently discovered underneath a city parking lot in Leicester. Richard III fans feel as though this is the start of a totally new career chapter.
Now we can rebury him with honor, said Philippa Langley, a leading figure in the Richard III Society, which is dedicated to the rehabilitation of the 15th-century monarch, whos lived on in history as the villain in a Shakespeare play. Doing a round of TV interviews, Langley told CNN that the Richard she knows is a guy whos loyal, brave, pious and just.
Theres always time to turn your life around! Even when youre dead! People, what could be more American? Except for the part about how its all happening in Britain.
Getting Richard out from under the parking lot was just the beginning. The societys website is chock-full of information about his efforts to provide justice for all, including the poor and the vulnerable, as well as his work as a talented administrator and patron of the printing industry. This guy would make an excellent ruler today, or at the very least a credible governor of Wisconsin.
Langley has also written a screenplay about Richard and his achievements all of which, by the way, had to be accomplished during a two-year reign. The movie doesnt appear to have its financing yet, but a newspaper in Scotland, where the writer lives, reported that the lead role has been offered to the actor who played dwarf leader Thorin Oakenshield in the Hobbit movies, and has also starred in a number of television series including Spooks, Robin Hood and the Vicar of Dibley.
I am telling you that last part just because I enjoy writing the Vicar of Dibley.
Anyhow, whats left of Richard has been lying in solemn dignity on a black velvet cushion in the library of the University of Leicester, preparing for the next phase. His stock appears to be soaring. The cities of Leicester and York are already flinging petitions at each other, battling for the honor of hosting the next burial.
This is an excellent lesson in the importance of keeping your metaphorical chin up. Sure, you can lose your kingdom in the Battle of Bosworth Field, get smashed on the head with a halberd, stabbed all over the place by grudge-bearing soldiers, dumped in a hole in the ground and then ultimately become subject of an exceedingly unflattering play.
But theres still the chance of a turnaround. And, really, it could happen to anyone:
Los Angeles, 2613 Experts have confirmed that skeletal remains dug up beneath a transporter lubrication pit are indeed those of Mitt Romney, the 21st-century presidential candidate who is best known as the title character in the classic tragedy Mitt I.
Supporters hope that the discovery will lead to a reconsideration of Romneys entire life and an emphasis on achievements, such as helping to found a chain of office-supply stores and winning one presidential debate. They plan to open a theme park that will focus on the positive side of the man known to history only as a politician who once attempted to drive to Canada with his dog strapped to the roof of his car.
This gives us a chance to restart the conversation about one of our most unfairly vilified political figures, said Finbar Romney, a descendant who is also known by his pen name of Figg. He revealed that he has just finished plans for a new Broadway musical about his ancestor, which would explore Mitt Romneys little-known early life as a tap dancer who moonlighted as a superhero.
See? Theres nothing you cant get over if you hang in there long enough. Until now, Richard has been best known for grabbing the crown away from his young nephew and then sticking the boy and his brother in the Tower of London. It was a bad move, image-wise. But, politically speaking, it was a sin of process, like the way Lyndon Johnson stole his first Senate race, if only Johnsons opponent had wound up locked inside a state prison, never to be heard from again.
The Richard III Society hopes to get past all that, as well as rumors about the kings monsterlike appearance. (One Tudor-era writer claimed he was born with teeth and shoulder-length hair, due to a two-year refusal to emerge from the womb.) A just-completed reconstruction of the long-gone monarchs head makes him look more like an undernourished Latin teacher. I wasnt alone in finding this an approachable, kindly face, almost inviting conversation, Langley said.
In 2313, maybe the Donald Trump Society will dig up the real estate developer and discover that he had a really terrific head of hair. Theres hope for us all. We may be wrinkling now, but well look great in a few more millennia.
