What I'm Reading: Faith and Fear in Flushing
In my last post I mentioned "cabin fever" getting the best of me. Trying to write about the Mets during a winter of inaction led me to do some reading.
For the past few weeks I've been re-reading favorites from my own shelf and borrowing books from the library. What I'm reading this weekend is a book I've been meaning to read for two years, and never got around to it, until now: Faith and Fear in Flushing: An Intense Personal History of the New York Mets, by Greg Prince.
Prince's blog partner Jason Fry wrote the Foreward, and in it, describes one of Greg's extraordinary traits:
"… one of them is his memory. The man remembers everything. … It's jaw-dropping the first time he does it (and pretty amazing the hundredth), but Greg doesn't do it to show off. It's a rare gift, but not one of which he's particularly exhibitionistic — if anything, he's a bit shy about it. (Nobody likes being a parlor trick, even if it's for a friendly audience.) That level of recall is just something he's always had, and it took him a while to realize that other people didn't have it too."
It happens that I'm one of those "other people"; one of the reasons I blog (and write down nearly everything I need to remember) is because my memory is horrific. My wife finds it amusing that I can watch a TV show repeat without recalling anything from the first time I saw it two weeks prior. So the vivid detail in which Greg Prince describes games and events going back to the 1970s, I'm fascinated — and grateful, since through Greg's memory I can re-live the good times (and the bad).
But Greg Prince's recall isn't the only thing that makes Faith and Fear in Flushing worth reading; there's the writing, of course! The tagline for the Faith and Fear blog is "for Mets fans who like to read". I'm a Mets fan who likes to read, and it turns out, I like to read Greg and Jason's blog. As it turns out, I also am liking the reading of Greg's book.
Though, it could be argued that a Faith and Fear blog post and a book are similar when it comes to length. OK, just kidding. The truth is, the book — like the blog — reads more swiftly than one might expect. Sometimes I look at a Faith and Fear blog post from a distance and think, "oh man, there must be ten paragraphs; I don't have time to read all that" — five minutes later I've plowed through it and scrolling down to start reading the previous one. That's kind of how me reading the book went. I started it on Sunday morning, and zipped through the first 220 pages (of 304) by the early evening. Mind you, it usually takes me about four months to finish a book from cover to cover.
Greg's flashbacks to the days of Rusty Staub (his first go-around) to Ron Hodgers to Doug Flynn to George Foster to Rusty Staub (his second go-around) to Dwight and Darryl to Mike Piazza were the first elements that sucked me in. Then, it was the author's self-deprecating humor and openness about the pain and awkwardness that comes with being a Mets fan through the years that kept me turning the pages.
If you became a Mets fan anytime after 1984, you might not feel the same way about the book, nor identify with Greg, in the same ways as I. But you can catch up with us during the pain of the post-1986 club, and/or the post-2000 team. Because to be a Mets fan is to endure troublesome times, usually amidst the constant shadow of that other New York baseball team. Why we love this team is beyond logic, and it connects us as fans. Or as Greg puts succinctly in the final chapter:
"I love the Mets because I love the Mets. Call it circular reasoning whose perimeter permits no logic to permeate. I love the Mets because I love the Mets even though there is, at certain times, almost nothing on the surface about the Mets that I can stand. … I picked them up at six and stayed with them. … I was little. They were local. It was 1969. From there, it was easy. I was a Mets fan then, I'm a Mets fan now."
If you are a Mets fan who likes to read, I encourage you to read Faith and Fear in Flushing — both the book and the blog.

Interesting post – I'll definitely have to pick up a copy of the book. As we head deeper into winter (when the weather turns frigid and pitchers and catchers seem to be an eternity away), I was wondering if you could share any recommendations for baseball books.
And yes, the Faith and Fear posts are long, but damn, those guys can write.
Those sound like interesting choices. I've actually read a few of them – Money Ball was solid (I would read pretty much anything by Michael Lewis) and Ball Four a riot. I was pleasantly surprised by The Bronx is Burning (notwithstanding that it was about the Yanks). I will have to check some of the other ones out, starting with Faith and Fear.
I would also suggest Dan Okrent's Nine Innings, the Last Best League (about the Cape Cod baseball league) and Fantasyland. And I recently read Mike Shropshire's Seasons in Hell which cracked my up.
Lots of good stuff out there to tide us over 'till pitchers and catchers.

The Cycling House was delighted to have been present at the 2011 Ironman Coeur d'Alene. Congrats to all Ironman CDA competitors! IM CDA truly is an amazing race for both spectators and athletes. The 38 year old Craig Alexander absolutely flew through the course to finish with a time of 8:19:48. Missoula, MT triathletes have repeatedly brought their A-game to this race and last weekend was no exception. Here is how the race played out for friends and staff of TCH:
Adam Jensen (Team Zoot Sports) of Missoula had a phenomenal race and finished 5th overall with a time of 9:05:42! Adam Jensen loves pain.
The Cycling House head coach, ride guide and all-around badass, Brendan Halpin (Zoot Sports) also had an amazing Ironman. Tendonitis, the flu and food poisoning can't keep Halpin from competing. He finished 11th overall in the pro mens field with a time of 9:34:19. Every time brendan rode by the Missoula cheer squad on the bike leg of the race he had a smile on his face. Nice work halpin!
Matt Shryock (French interpreter for TCH) also of Missoula, MT finished 15th overall in the mens field.
Ironman CDA was Graham Meng's first ever full distance Ironman. He graduated from dental school just days before this race and must have figured that the perfect graduation gift for himself would be a 10.5 hour suffer fest. He loved it!
Couer d'Alene is about a 2 hour drive from Missoula so there are copious amounts of Montanans cheering on the racers.
If you competed in last weekends race please drop us a line! We would love to hear how it went. – The Cycling House

Exhibit opens
Berlin is unveiling a new Cold War exhibition at the former Checkpoint Charlie border crossing — a step toward setting up a permanent museum about the standoff between East and West.
The "BlackBox Cold War" exhibition uses posters, newspapers, videos and other artifacts to narrate the conflict from Germany's post-World War II division to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
It opened Friday and is expected to remain for at least two years. Supporters hope to complete a larger, permanent museum at the site in 2015 or 2016.
Mayor Klaus Wowereit says the checkpoint — where U.S. and Soviet tanks faced off in 1961 — "is the only place worldwide where both superpowers directly faced each other with weapons and the danger of a hot war was palpable."

"With winter approaching I'm getting into my usual fall dilemma (which I have obviously failed to solve). To be totally honest, I am relatively particular about shoes. In the summer I wear flip flops, strappy flat sandals, toms and for work and nice dinners out, ballet flats. I basically refuse to wear heels unless I absolutely must. I can't wear boots because of high arches (if I can get them on, they usually pinch my feet so much that they go numb) and this applies to almost every pair of boots I've ever tried on or tried to try on. My question is, what shoes can I wear to be semi-dressed up in the winter, for birthday parties, nice dinners out, or on a more casual day to work (I'm a lawyer)? You know, just for day to day, cute shoe wearing. To give you an idea of style, I shop a lot at J. Crew and Anthropologie, but don't really get into trends too much. Please help!!!" – Emily
Girl, I'm with you. As I've gotten older, my foot pain has increased and my willingness to suffer through it in order to wear heels has waned. Luckily, there are a wealth of flats that are just as chic as sky-high heels. Based on the way you described your style, I'm inclined to recommend pointy-toed flats and preppy oxfords and loafers. After the jump, check out the 12 pairs of flats I found, with my suggestions for what to wear them with. Keep reading »

Oak Ridge feels impact of EnergySolutions job cuts; German rad waste coming 'soon'
EnergySolutions spokesman Mark Walker said today that about 20-30 of the 265 job cuts companywide took place in Oak Ridge. Most of the workers went off the payroll last week, he said.
Earlier this month, EnergySolutions filed a report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that revealed plans for workforce restructuring, involving multiple parts of the company's business units.
Walker said the job reductions are expected to save about $35 million in 2013. "It's for operational efficiencies, it's to better manage cash flow and it's also to help us reduce our debt," he said.
The changes should make EnergySolutions more competitive moving forward and seeking new contracts.
The Bear Creek waste-processing operations in Oak Ridge remain an integral part of the company's nuclear operations, Walker said.
Asked specifically about the company's long-stated plans to bring tons of low-level radioactive waste from Germany to Oak Ridge to treatment and volume reductions, Walker said that "should be happening soon."
That work is almost ready to start, with some "crossing T's and dotting I's" taking place in Germany, he said.
Walker could not immediately confirm whether or not the first waste shipments will take place in 2012.

Re: Install questions

We have several HP DL580 G5 boxes and want to configure dual-boot between RHEL and Solaris X64. I currently have Solaris X64 installed, and it has a GRUB boot menu. How can I install RHEL to use the "existing" GRUB boot loader rather than installinng it's own boot loader over top of the one already there?
Assuming grub is installed in the MBR of the boot drive, then the installer should see it. The trick is that the /boot directory must be a filesystem RHEL understands natively (a filesystem type which is either built into the installer's kernel or in the installer's initrd RAMdisk image). If /boot is a Solaris partition/filesystem, I don't think RHEL has that built into the installer, hence it won't be able to decipher the /boot partition and can't verify that the various second- and third-stage loaders are there, nor can it find the /boot/grub/grub.conf file. What you'll have to do is have RHEL install its version of grub into the first RHEL partition on the drive. Then bring up your Solaris system and chainload to the grub on the RHEL partition--much as you'd do if you were chainloading Windows.
Also, my firs attempt at installing came up with an odd screen resolution for the console port. The resolution appears to be set during boot-up and I can't find where to change that resolution. The issue is that the console is being viewed through an ILO (lights-out) web-page with a resolution of 1024x768. However, the boot screen comes up as somthing like 1440x900 or somthing close to that. This makes it difficult to see the screen contents while booting. Thanks for any advice.
Since this is the beta, it's going to be based on Fedora. On Fedora, the installer probes the video hardware (both the card and the monitor) and tries to use the largest display screen it can. It doesn't know about your ILO thingie--just the display hardware on your machine. You can force the display resolution by entering this at the "boot:" prompt during installation: linux resolution=1024x768 Set the resolution to whatever you want. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Hard work has a future payoff.

NSDL's debt instrument a/cs cross 1 lakh mark
Nilanjan Dey
Kolkata , June 8
THE number of accounts with debt instruments at National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL) is now stands over the one-lakh mark.
At last count, this figure, which had been inching ahead, was roughly 1.22 lakh. This, however, is still a small percentage of the total number of investor accounts with NSDL at 64.8 lakh.
The depository currently services a big chunk of the market. Some of the other numbers being thrown up by it are: 218 depository participants, 5,632 companies and 6,973 bonds/debt in demat custody. The latter account for over Rs 2,80,000 crore.
Investors' overriding interest in dematerialised equity has actually overshadowed NSDL's brush with debt, while many of them are not yet fully aware of the potential on this front, sources indicate.
In terms of size, debt is a burgeoning segment, characterised by a variety of instruments, ranging from debentures to commercial papers.
The depository has catalogued these securities, dividing the register on the basis of the identity of the issuer entity. A quick look at the register indicates the presence of a large issuer base, marked by big and small companies, all of which have contributed to the increase in the number of accounts with debt papers.
Sources say NSDL follows a simple but effective system vis-à-vis debt, which is not very different from equity. It identifies each instrument with a unique ISIN. All special features, including rates of interest and maturity periods, are recognised by the system.
The system also allows a newly issued security to be offered immediately in the dematerialised mode.
Also, such a security can be credited into an investor's account straight away as well after the allotment process is completed. The procedure for interest disbursement for securities maintained in the demat mode is also not complicated.

Clover man sentenced for carnal knowledge
- Last Updated on 06:30 AM 10/26/12
- BY The Gazette-Virginian
A 26-year-old Clover man, James Henry Foster Jr., was sentenced Monday to 10 years in prison, with all but four years and six months suspended, for having carnal knowledge of a 13-14-year-old child.
The court ordered the suspended portion of Foster's sentence be conditioned on his good behavior for 10 years and ordered him placed on probation for two years.
The court additionally ordered Foster to register as a sex offender and have no contact with his victim whatsoever.
Foster also pleaded guilty Monday to a violation of court-ordered good behavior, with the court revoking his previously suspended prison sentence but ordering no new jail time.
Other court cases
• Beverly Kay Hill, 59, of South Boston was convicted Tuesday of felony embezzlement from American Legion Post 8 Auxiliary.
The commonwealth moved to nol pros another charge against Hill during the trial, one for conspiring to embezzle from American Legion Post 8.
Sentencing for Hill was continued to the March court term.
• Donna Kay Bomar, 32, of Gladys had her first offender status for possession of cocaine revoked Monday and was subsequently convicted of the drug possession charge, in a review.
Bomar pleaded guilty last September to possession of cocaine.
The court found evidence sufficient but withheld its finding of guilt, granting Bomar first offender status and continuing the case for one year.
The court placed Bomar under supervision of Halifax-Pittsylvania Court Services (HPCS) for one year and ordered her to perform 100 hours of community service.
• Kristine Elizabeth Monette, 20, of Nelson had her first offender status revoked Monday for cocaine possession with the court subsequently convicting her of the charge.
The court additionally convicted Monette of a first offender alcohol violation, with sentencing for both charges continued to the January court term.
Monette pleaded guilty in February 2011 to the drug possession charge.
The court found evidence sufficient to convict Monette of the charge but withheld its finding of guilt, granting the defendant first offender status and continuing the case for one year.
The court placed Monette under supervision of Halifax Pittsylvania Court Services and ordered her to undergo a substance abuse assessment; remain drug and alcohol free; complete drug treatment and education as ordered by probation; perform 100 hours of community service; and make efforts to secure and maintain employment.
• Anita Jane Beadles, 28, of Nathalie was convicted Tuesday of assault, in a misdemeanor appeal case.
The court sentenced Beadles to 12 months in jail, with all but one month suspended, and with weekend jail service authorized for the defendant.
The court ordered Beadles to pay a $100 fine and have no contact with her victim or her victim's family.
• Robert Wayne Compton, 28, of Crystal Hill entered an Alford plea Tuesday to attempted possession of a firearm as a non-violent felon.
Under terms of an Alford plea, a defendant does not admit guilt but realizes prosecution evidence would make a guilty finding at trial almost a certainty.
Pursuant to a plea agreement with the commonwealth, the court sentenced Compton to five years in prison, with all time suspended to that already served, conditioned on Compton's good behavior for five years.
The court additionally ordered Compton placed on probation for one year.
• Jennifer Darlene Martin, 28, of South Boston had her first offender status for possession of cocaine revoked Tuesday, with the court subsequently convicting her of the drug possession charge.
The court additionally convicted Martin of two separate first offender alcohol violations.
Sentencing for Martin was continued to the January court term.

Being Good Subjects
The teachings of the Lord in such Scriptures as John 5:44, and Paul in Ephesians 1:10, make it clear that one of the most corruptive and destructive forces in the life of those who seek to serve the Lord is the fear of man. However, this week's verse commands us to "be subject to one another." How can we do this and not be subject to the fear of man?
The last part of our verse for this week tells us how. We submit ourselves to one another in the fear of the Lord, not the fear of man. Now this leads us to another question—how do we do that? How can we tell the difference between the fear of man and the fear of God, especially as we are making ourselves subject to other people? It is easy to tell the difference. If we are controlled by the fear of man we will get our encouragement or discouragement by how people feel about us. If we are living in the fear of God, our main concern will be to please Him in all that we do, and we will be neither very discouraged or encouraged by what people think of us.
There is a difference between being subject to people because we fear them, or doing this because we recognize them as delegated authorities and we honor the One who sent them. Even so, we must make no mistake about it—this verse declares that we should be subject to one another. If we are properly related to the Head we will be properly related to His body, the church, as well. Any part of the body that tries to function apart from the body, or grow without regard for the rest of the body, is cancerous.
There are some who seek to live free of the fear of man but do so more out of a spirit of rebellion and arrogance than the fear of the Lord, true faith, or the humility to which God gives His grace. This is where many sincere people who want to serve the Lord stumble. They will usually end up doing more damage to the purposes of the Lord than good, sowing division and rebellion instead of the true fear of God that should motivate us instead of the fear of man.
As we read in the first verse of Romans 13, the true fear of the Lord will also compel us to give the proper honor and respect to all who are in authority. Those who fall into the trap of trying to replace the fear of man with what is in fact rebellion usually do so because they fail to recognize the Lord's authority in those He has delegated it to. The Lord does almost everything on the earth through His body. The leaders that He gives to His body are His leadership in His body. We submit to the Lord by submitting to them. Abuses of this in the past have caused many to swing to the opposite extreme so that they have a difficult time with any authority. Likewise, the rebellious and self-willed will interpret any exercise of authority as a control spirit. Nevertheless, the ultimate revelation of the kingdom of God on earth through the church will come through those who have a right understanding and relationship to authority—which is what a kingdom is.
Being subject to one another is especially difficult because none of His delegated authorities are Him. By this I mean that none are as good, true, perfect, righteous, just, or as powerful as He is. This is compounded by what James observed when he said, "For we all stumble in many ways" (James 3:2). God's greatest leaders make mistakes. Some of His greatest leaders actually made some of the greatest mistakes. Right after the Lord gave the keys to the kingdom to Peter He had to rebuke him by calling him "Satan!" Yet, the Lord did not take those keys away from Peter, and Peter used them on both the Day of Pentecost and by opening the door of faith to the Gentiles. Yet, even years after this the youngest of apostles still had to rebuke Peter for a major mistake that he was making (see Galatians 2:11-15).
The leaders that the Lord has delegated over His work on the earth, which represent Him, the perfect One, are not perfect, and do stumble in many ways. It therefore requires an even greater humility to be subject to them, which is an opportunity for the Lord to give us an even greater grace.
Think about the entire group of apostles that the Lord left in charge of His church after His ascension. They had just denied Him, and scattered from the Lord when He needed His friends the most. The people who were gathered to the Lord and built upon the apostles' teaching were all very aware of this in their leaders, yet they trusted and submitted to them. Why? Because they were not just putting their trust in these men, but in the Holy Spirit who was with them. They were the ones that the Lord had given to them, so they must be the right ones—not perfect, just right for the job. The apostles, who were being humbled by their previous failures, were even more able to be the recipients of God's grace and anointing.
Which one of us, who are so demanding of perfection in those we follow, are perfect enough to lead others? The very attitude that requires perfection in those we follow is the pride that comes before the fall. It is therefore the fear of the Lord that enables us to be subject to one another rightly. If we are wise we will learn to cover our brother and sister's flaws, knowing that if we will sow grace we will reap the same.
If you really want to know how humble you are, think about how you reacted to the last person who offered you advice, or even correction, and perceived to be less spiritual than you are. One of the great attributes of King David was that, as he was fleeing from his rebellious son Absalom, he would not even stop a mad man from throwing stones at him until he had first determined that the Lord had not sent even a deranged man as a messenger. This would be a remarkable attitude for anyone, much less a king. It is true that after he had determined this was not from the Lord he had the man taken care of, which also had to be done for the sake of protecting the kingdom from madness and rebellion.
I have heard many people say that they love the Lord, but they just do not like the church. According to Scripture that is not possible, as we read in I John 4:20, "... the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen." This same principle is true with authority. We cannot be subject to God who we cannot see if we are not subject to His people who we can see.

Skokie woman again declines plea bargain in crash that killed boy, 9
Carter Vo, 9, of Skokie, was killed in May 2012 near Main Street and St. Louis Avenue in Skokie. After the crash, friends and relatives erected a temporary memorial near the intersection. (Tribune file photo / January 4, 2013)
She has been charged with felony aggravated driving under the influence.
Prosecutors allege that Hanin Goma, of Skokie, had drugs in her system when she caused a chain-reaction accident that claimed the life of Carter Vo.
The boy's father said in an interview that prosecutors offered Goma a deal that would have included a 5-year sentence, but neither the state nor the defense would comment on that.
"The defendant chose not to plead today," said Cook County Assistant State's Atty. Cathy Crowley.
Nhu Vo, of the 4600 block of Madison in Skokie, sat quietly this morning with his wife at the Skokie courthouse. The delay of a chance to face Goma in court left him in tears.
Although they declined to discuss the proposed deal with Goma, prosecutors said that under sentencing guidelines, a judge could send her to prison for between 3 and 14 years if she's found guilty at trial. Goma could take a plea deal at her next hearing on Jan. 17, or she could elect to go to trial.
"No amount of time is going to bring my son back," Vo said in tears outside the courtroom. "I would give 10 years of my life to spend one day with my son. Everything reminds me of him."
If Goma takes a plea deal or is found guilty, Vo will be able to make a victim impact statement in front of her in open court. Vo said that among other things, he would tell Goma that he hopes "she appreciates life."
Investigators say Goma was driving from her job as a cashier at the Grecian Kitchen on May 22 and as she turned left onto Main Street in Skokie from St. Louis Avenue, she struck an eastbound van, causing her car to spin over the median and land on the northeast corner sidewalk, where Carter Vo was riding his bike.
They allege Goma's car pushed the bike across St. Louis Avenue, where it continued to slide until it hit a parked car.
The second-grader at Madison Elementary School in Skokie died at the scene. Prosecutors said that blood and urine tests showed that Goma had cannabis and amphetamines in her system when the crash happened.
Earlier this year prosecutors cited Goma's previous arrests for drug possession and they also said Goma had failed to attend court-ordered drug prevention classes.
They also said that Goma, who is being held in jail in lieu of bond, had been charged with leaving the scene of another accident earlier this year, and that she was out on bond at the time of the accident that killed the boy.

Campers also get to do crafts, go swimming, play games, camp out, and sing during their time at Mount Luther.
The camp will celebrate the 50th birthday with an open house, meal, and worship service on June 30, the 50th anniversary of the camp's dedication day. During the worship service, the camp's first director, Rev. Theodore Schneider, will preach.

With the bases loaded and the game tied in the bottom of the seventh inning of Thursday's home opener against Cordova, Hayden Short did what seniors are supposed to do — she came through in the clutch for Cullman.
Short slugged a sacrifice fly to push in the winning run and cap off a thrilling 4-3 triumph over the Blue Devils, already the Lady Bearcats second of the young season versus their Class 3A counterpart.
Sierra Easterwood sizzled with the stick, batting 3 for 4 with a double and an RBI. Hannah Morton made her mark with two hits and an RBI in three at-bats, while Kaitlyn Brannon touted a pair of runs.
Claire Jenkins claimed the win in the pitcher's circle for Cullman, which will take a 4-3 record into next Thursday's home game against Hayden.

AUSTIN, Texas — UCLA is in the NCAA tournament, which used to be a rite of spring around Westwood.
The Bruins should advance in the NCAA tournament … and advance … and advance. This is a requirement UCLA fans insist on.
AUSTIN, Texas — UCLA is in the NCAA tournament, which used to be a rite of spring around Westwood.
The Bruins should advance in the NCAA tournament … and advance … and advance. This is a requirement UCLA fans insist on.
No one in the locker room should be happy just to be there. John Wooden retired 38 years ago, but the mandate remains.
The No. 24-ranked Bruins tote that onto the court against Minnesota Friday night in their NCAA tournament opener at the Erwin Center. To please their fan base and silence critics, this can't be a one-and-done experience.
"Any time UCLA is in the tournament, there are expectations," forward David Wear said. "Everyone always expects us to be in the national championship game or the Final Four. It's definitely difficult to live up to."
But, Wear said, "I think we're capable of doing it."
The Bruins went through white-water rapids this season. There was the NCAA investigation surrounding Shabazz Muhammad. Center Joshua Smith and guard Tyler Lamb transferred. And now the Bruins are left to play without Jordan Adams, their second-leading scorer. He had surgery on his broken foot Wednesday.
Still, with all that, the Bruins enter the NCAA tournament as the Pac-12 Conference's regular-season champion.
Adversity, UCLA Coach Ben Howland said, "is something we're used to."
Howland was talking about his team but was then asked about the adversity he'd faced as rumors swirled about his job security — or lack thereof.
"Adversity is a part of athletics. It's a part of what we do," he replied. "Real adversity is someone who's trying to feed their kids and is struggling to make it. Real adversity is having your mortgage underwater. There's so many things that are so much tougher than what we deal with in athletics."
Ah, but trying to tell that to UCLA fans, some not satisfied with a 25-9 record, is a chore.
The Bruins missed the NCAA tournament two of the previous three seasons, a no-no around Westwood. The expectations that came with the nation's No. 2-rated recruiting class this season have caused discontent among some fans, who pay a hefty price for tickets at Pauley Pavilion.
Those things, and 11 national championship banners, follow the Bruins into the tournament.
"Man, there are so many great memories in UCLA's history," guard Larry Drew II said. "It means a lot to wear this jersey and play in the NCAA tournament."
That said, Drew said he has learned it's best not to compare the present to the past. "Obviously, there is a great tradition at UCLA," he said. "What is important is who we are now and what we did to get here."
The Bruins got here by depending on Drew and three freshmen — Muhammad, Adams and Kyle Anderson. Now they are down to two.
No problem, Drew said.
"Our identity has been changing all year," Drew said. "Tyler and Josh transferred. Now Jordan getting hurt. Even last summer, when we had the exhibition games in China, Shabazz had to stay home. We move on and try to develop."
But the letters on the jersey remain the same.
"It brings high expectations," Muhammad said. "You've got to go out and represent, play with a chip on your shoulder."
Muhammad said the chip this time was being an underdog. Minnesota, seeded 11th, is a three-point favorite over sixth-seeded UCLA. There is also the knowledge that Howland's future is in question even though he has won four conference titles and gone to three Final Fours in the last eight seasons.
Minnesota Coach Tubby Smith said Howland has handled the pressure "as well as anybody in the country" while "under the microscope that he's under at UCLA."
For which Muhammad has a solution.
"We've got to win games in the NCAA tournament," Muhammad said. "If we win, everything will be fine."
Minnesota has lost 11 of its last 16 games. Still, mixed in that poor finish was an upset of Indiana, then ranked No. 1.
"We don't buy into [being favored] too much," said Trevor Mbakwe, the Golden Gophers' 6-foot-8, 245-pound senior center. "I know UCLA is thinking the same thing. They feel they are better and they aren't getting the respect that they deserve. They are going to come out and show the world they were wrong."
Or at least their fan base.
"We have more than enough talent to do some damage in this tournament," Drew said. "We didn't come here just to get here. We came out here to win games and represent everything UCLA stands for."
Past and present.

Voter registration campaign launched
The government has launched a campaign to get more Londoners voting after statistics revealed that one in five people in the city are not yet registered to vote.
This has serious implications because such a high level of voter under-registration could affect the outcome of next May's council elections.
Representatives from all three major political parties as well as community leaders met this morning to discuss how best to plan action to tackle the problem.
Elections minister Harriet Harman said today: "Democracy must give everyone an equal say. We are all going to work together to sort this out. Time is tight. The register for the May elections closes in March.
Opinion Former News
"But we are determined to ensure all Londoners have their democratic rights."
London mayor Ken Livingstone added: "People have literally fought and died for the right to vote and we should protect this democratic right by using it."

Bush's Catholic Outreach Guru: GOP Leaving Catholics Dispirited
Deal Hudson says Democratic-allied Catholic groups have changed the game for Catholic voters.
By Dan Gilgoff, God & Country
Trying to understand why Republican leaders have been all but silent on Kathleen Sebelius's appointment to head the Department of Health and Human Services even as the party's antiabortion base goes ballistic, I spoke yesterday with Deal Hudson, who directed Catholic outreach for George W. Bush's presidential campaigns. Hudson has launched a website called Catholics Against Kathleen Sebelius.
You've written that the Republican wall of silence over Kathleen Sebelius is misguided. But what explains it?
They are playing it safe. They think a sea change has occurred in American politics, represented by Obama's victory, and they are trying to rebrand the party in a way that they think is more popular. The conversations I'm hearing in Washington right now are, "Where else are those [values] voters going to go—they'll come around because they have no other way of having influence." What party officials and professional Republicans don't understand, with the exception of Karl Rove, is that these are voters who will walk away and they will cultivate their own garden until they have a leader who makes decisions based on principles and is willing to lose. They will walk away, and the Republicans will lose as a result. So it's a bad tactical choice to leave this group of people dispirited.
But isn't one lesson of the 2008 election that values voters—white evangelicals—will vote for the Republican no matter what? John McCain did a poor job of evangelical outreach, but he got more evangelical votes than George W. Bush in 2004.
But Republicans have to worry about Catholics. We know that evangelical voting habits are much more deeply engrained than Catholics'. And Catholics are potentially just as sizable a number of votes. I calculated that between 1996 and 2004, we brought in around 7 million Catholic voters to the Republican Party. And even those evangelicals won't hang around and continue to support lackadaisical and half-hearted candidates. Even they will begin to drift away. In 2008, a lot of them were voting Republican out of gratitude for eight years of Bush leadership.
A new poll by Pew's John Green suggests that Obama doubled his share of traditionalist Catholic votes from Kerry 's level in 2004. Is that proof that a Catholic shift has already happened?
I've got to believe that something went wrong with that poll. But some of these traditionalist Catholics, their parents and grandparents were Democrats. And they want to be Democrats again. So Obama's religious outreach did very effectively give a lot of those people the sense that it was OK to come back. From a political point of view, they did a very good job of that. But this is an important moment for Michael Steele, who I like very much, and a very important moment for the party. The Republican grass roots right now, they don't want political calibration and calculation. They want the leadership to fight for the country.
It's fascinating to compare Catholic criticism against John Kerry in 2004 to that now leveled against Sebelius. Now there are Democratic-allied Catholic groups like Catholics United to come to Sebelius's defense. Those groups didn't exist in 2004. Have they made a difference?
Now you're forcing me to say nice things about the people who like to beat me up. From a political point of view, those groups made a big difference. When you can get what is taken as a Catholic organization in the mainstream press supporting your guy, that adds a whole new element. We were successful in 2000 and 2004 in keeping the [liberal Catholic groups] Voice of the Faithful and Call to Action at bay because we were able to label them dissident. We haven't been able to do that with Catholics United and Catholics in Alliance. The other groups claimed to be about the church, so at a certain point the church standard had to be respected. These new groups aren't speaking to the church per se. They're grounded in faithful citizenship. So there's no real reason for the press to adjudicate who's really Catholic.

May 10, 2014
On Saturday, May 10, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe and Midwest Regional Director Tom Melius joined volunteers from around the Chicago Area to plant trees to develop the Burnham Wildlife Corridor, a new natural area in Chicago's Burnham Park.
The corridor creates a 100-acre ribbon of urban wilderness running through one of the city's premier lakefront properties. The corridor is located within the Millennium Reserve, one of two sites in Illinois to be included in President Obama's "America's Great Outdoors" initiative.
The event was conducted in partnership with Chicago Wilderness, The Field Museum, Friends of the Parks, The Nature Conservancy, Openlands, Audubon - Chicago Region, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The Daily Star
---- — John McCoy loves honeybees. He always has.
McCoy sells honey and honey products at his store, the Honey House, at 307 State Highway 28. McCoy's Raw Honey is sold at specialty stores and grocery stores in the area as well.
McCoy has more than 300 beehives in nine different locations. He has been keeping bees most of his life.
"It started out as a science fair project," McCoy said. "I was tired of the same old thing — growing corn on a sponge. My uncle kept bees and I thought it would make a good project. My dad kept bees too, but that was before I knew him. When he came home from World War II, he lost all his bees. The DDT killed them."
McCoy is an enthusiastic bee keeper. He hosts school groups, sells beekeeping equipment and offers advice to those who come asking.
The Honey House is practically a bee museum, with an exposed bee hive encased in Plexiglas and colorful informational posters explaining the lifecycle and colony structure of honeybees. There are bee jokes lining the walls and questions about bees geared toward elementary-aged children.
The walls are papered with thank-you notes from the hundreds of children who visited the Honey House on school field trips.
"It used to be that I would have 30 or more classes a year come through," McCoy said. "But with the budget cuts and all, last year I think it was more like 20 classes that came through."
McCoy said he keeps bees more as a hobby than as a business. He is an enthusiastic advocate for honeybees.
"I think more people are aware of what these bees are and how much we need them," McCoy said. "I think that is especially true now that there are so many dying off."
The number of honey bees in North America recently has declined dramatically in a phenomenon known as Colony Collapse Disorder. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 22 percent of the bees kept commercially in the U.S. were lost last year due to Colony Collapse Disorder.
"I lost almost 50 percent of my bees last winter," McCoy said. "I have replaced some, but with that kind of loss… I can't replace all of them."
Sometimes, McCoy said, he is able to find a swarm of bees to coax into a hive. When bees outgrow their dwelling, the queen, who normally lays only male eggs, will produce a female. The old queen will lead half of the colony out to find a new place to live.
"You have to be quick to get a swarm," McCoy said. "They will be there one minute and then be gone the next. Sometimes you will see them in a big ball on a branch. If you can clip that branch and put them into a box, then they will usually settle."
Beekeeping is a precarious business. Bees will not fly unless it is 50 degrees or warmer, and they can't fly in a heavy rain. Some years, bees in the Northeast will only produce honey for six months.
"If the bees can't fly, they can't get to the flowers, and then they can't make the honey," McCoy said. "It is a very iffy venture. We are dealing with insects, and they are dealing with flowers and Mother Nature."
McCoy's Honey House is open from noon to 4 p.m., Thursdays and Saturdays.

Guest Post: 5 eco-friendly ways to save money in your home
September 30, 2011 by Brenda
Filed under Eco & Green Tips, Featured Retailers, Green Living
Making your home more eco-friendly isn't only good news for the planet – it's also good news for your wallet. By embracing a greener way of living, you can help improve your home's eco credentials while also saving yourself some money into the bargain. Here are 5 eco-savvy suggestions:
1.Solar panels
Due to the government's feed-in tariff incentive, solar panels on your home could actually make you money. Of course, there is an initial financial outlay, but after that you can save money on your energy bills as well as selling any excess power back to the national grid for profit.
Alternatively, you could take advantage of one of the schemes that offers free panel installation. This would mean that the installation company would make the money from the sale of power – but you'd still benefit from cheaper energy bills. Read more here.
Remember, always inform your home insurance provider about any large modifications such as this. If you fail to inform them, you could risk invalidating your cover.
A well-insulated house will require less energy to keep it warm. This makes it better for the environment as well as saving you money. Cavity wall insulation and double-glazing are two of the best methods to conserve energy in your home. Insulating cavity walls reduces heat loss and can save you around £110 a year on your fuel bills.
3.Turn it down
Turning your thermostat down, even by just 1 degree, can help reduce the amount of energy used daily in your home. Reducing your room temperature by 1°C could cut your heating bills by up to 10 percent and typically saves around £50 per year. Also, is your water too hot? Your cylinder thermostat should be set at around 60°C/140°F
4.Don't be wasteful
Don't leave electrical items on standby or on charge unnecessarily; turn them off completely when they're not in use.
Try to fill up with full loads in your washing machine and dishwasher – rather than doing two half-full cycles.
Consider fitting a 'low-flow' shower head which could help reduce your water bills and the amount of water wasted.
5.Better bulbs
Consider switching to energy-saving light bulbs – they last up to 10 times longer than ordinary bulbs and using one can save you around £45 over the lifetime of the bulb. It's such a simple step that's so easy and effective to do.

—Submitted by Christina Belfatto, Cinnaminson High School business teacher and DECA advisor
Cinnaminson DECA, an association of marketing students, has just received some exciting news. Three students worked very hard for the past four months to complete a written manual on Cinnaminson High School's award-winning student store.
This manual, which was over 30 pages long, was written in hope to compete at the International Career Development Conference in Anaheim, Calif. this April.
We have just received the news from National DECA that Cinnaminson DECA student's Christopher Weist, Alex Forte and Amanda Congemi have qualified and will be competing against schools from all over the country in the School Based Enterprise event. Congratulations Cinnaminson DECA!
A release from National DECA:
The School-Based Enterprise (SBE) at Cinnaminson High School of Cinnaminson, NJ was among 166 school-based enterprises in the United States achieving Gold Level Certification (or Gold Level Re-certification) this year and will be recognized at DECA's International Career Development Conference in Anaheim, California. The students who worked on the certification were Amanda Congemi, Alex Forte, and Christopher Weist, with the assistance of their advisor Christina Belfatto. The school-based enterprise at Cinnaminson High School has operated for over 35 years and is to be commended for this achievement.
School-based Enterprises are effective educational tools in helping to prepare students for the transition from school to work or college. For many students, they provide the first work experience; for others, they provide an opportunity to build management, supervision and leadership skills. While some in the education community have only recently discovered the value of school-based enterprises, marketing educators and DECA advisors have used them as a powerful learning lab for more than four decades.
DECA's School-based Enterprise (SBE) Certification Program was developed to provide recognition for outstanding achievement by school-based enterprises and to motivate SBEs to strive for excellence and growth.
School stores can be certified at three levels: Bronze, Silver or Gold. In order to apply for the certification, SBEs must submit extensive documentation that demonstrates their adherence to various marketing and retail standards. After the documentation is submitted, a review committee evaluates the documentation to determine which level of certification has been achieved.D

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Airport authorities say there have been two arrests stemming from the evacuation and bomb scare at Jacksonville International Airport.
A third arrest is expected within the hour, according to airport spokesman Michael Stewart.
Zeljko Causevic, 39, is facing charges for a false report of a bomb and manufacturing, possessing or selling a hoax bomb, CBS affiliate WTEV reported Wednesday morning. He is due in court this.
Investigators say Causevic was in a security checkpoint area and said, "I got a bomb in here." According to the report, the suspect then told airport workers that "he had a camouflage backpack with a bomb, but it's not." Police found a microchip inside the device.
The device had to be rendered safe by the bomb squad.
Investigators are not sure if Causevic was flying out of JIA.
Police arrested a second person for acting suspiciously and resisting arrest near the airport parking garage. Investigators say he's not connected to the bomb hoax scare.
The man shown on video being removed from a flight was not arrested. He was interviewed and let go. Stewart said the pilot was being extra cautious.
The airport terminal was evacuated around 6 p.m. Tuesday because of a report of two suspicious packages.
The airport was reopened to travelers and workers just after 11 p.m on Tuesday.
Most passengers who were stuck last night have been reunited with their luggage. There are still some bags at the airport waiting for their owners.
Stewart said security is back to normal at the airport.

WUHAN, CHINA — Railroad tickets are a dangerous business in China.
Retired military man Wang Hanlin opened a travel agency here a decade ago, but found that the best seats disappeared no matter how early you tried to buy them.
WUHAN, CHINA — Railroad tickets are a dangerous business in China.
Retired military man Wang Hanlin opened a travel agency here a decade ago, but found that the best seats disappeared no matter how early you tried to buy them.
When he asked why, Wang recalls, he was told to keep his mouth shut. When he persisted, he got his answer from six thugs who jumped him in broad daylight and beat him with a pipe, smashing his legs.
Wang, now 64, says he knows who arranged the beating: Liu Zhixiang, director of one of Wuhan's two train stations and the younger brother of a powerful Communist Party official who was about to become railway minister.
Although Wang still limps, he was lucky. Another businessman was stabbed and bled to death in front of his wife and child. Shocked prosecutors arrested Liu and found $5 million in cash stashed in his home. He was convicted in 2006 of arranging the killing and received a suspended death sentence, which is usually commuted to life in prison.
But the railroad ticket business remains corrupt and staggeringly inefficient. Its dysfunction is most glaring at this time of year, when 200 million Chinese head to their hometowns for the Lunar New Year, which begins today. It is one of the biggest migrations in the world.
Of all the forms of corruption in China, the trade in train tickets is one of those that most frustrates ordinary people. It is not uncommon for people to spend two or three days at the station trying to buy tickets.
In the weeks leading up to this year's holiday, a 60-year-old migrant worker died of hypothermia while he waited outside a station in Hangzhou in Zhejiang province to buy tickets. Last year, a young woman heading home from college was pushed onto the tracks at a station in Anhui province and killed.
The quest for tickets becomes a national obsession. People greet one another with, "Do you have tickets?" Classifieds websites are filled with plaintive requests.
At Beijing West station recently, a swarm of humanity filled a cavernous waiting room. Lines at ticket counters were long, but not too long -- because no one expects to be able to buy tickets through official channels. Instead, people looked for scalpers or stood holding pieces of paper on which they'd written their intended destinations.
Huang Huidang, a 28-year-old lighting engineer, said he had been at the station almost 24 hours looking for tickets to Anhui for him, his wife and their baby. Knowing that tickets go on sale 10 days before departure, he had arrived the evening before.
"When the ticket window opened at 9 a.m., I was the fourth person in line. But there were no tickets with seats. Even the first person didn't get tickets," said Huang, who was now looking for a scalper.
Chinese are ordinarily reluctant to criticize their country to foreign journalists, but on the subject of railroad tickets they quickly let loose, often interjecting profanities.
"Nobody gets tickets by standing in line," said Han Wei, 40, who works for a Beijing science academy. He said he had tried four times in the last seven years to buy a ticket home to Lanzhou for the holidays and had never gotten one through legal channels.
The government blames an imbalance of supply and demand. With the economy on the skids this year, demand is especially high as the newly unemployed extend the holiday.
But the public is skeptical. Li Jinsong, a Beijing lawyer, recently prepared an analysis that found 188 million tickets available, meaning that all but 12 million of the estimated 200 million travelers should be able to get tickets. Even the China Daily, normally a government mouthpiece, said recently, "Why we can't buy a railroad ticket through the ticket counter still remains something of a mystery."
This month, a frustrated buyer videotaped an agent at the Beijing station who appeared to be taking orders on her cellphone and printing tickets while ignoring the crowd waiting in line outside her window.
Almost 5,000 scalpers have been arrested this month in a crackdown, with each new bust getting big headlines. The government has also shut down more than a dozen websites where people privately traded and sold tickets.
Whistle-blowers like Wang say the police pick up only small fry. "They are poor people, maybe migrant workers. . . . Anyway, they arrest them, and more keep coming back, like wildfires with the spring wind," Wang said. "The important scalpers with the good tickets are the ones with connections inside the railroad."
Another problem is that the Railway Ministry sets aside up to 30% of the tickets for government officials, journalists and others with influence. Away from the swarm at the Beijing station, tickets were being sold from a small window at a ministry administrative building around the corner.

Statewide video franchising agreements,enacted in many states, have undermined consumer protections previouslyprovided by local franchising agreements. Analysisof the effects of statewide video franchises found that consumers in statesthat have enacted statewide franchising laws have seen their cable servicebills go up 8 to 50%, depending on the level of service. Further, consumer's complaints, instates with statewide video franchising, remain high with 74% of surveyrespondents reporting no reduction in the level of complaints.
Despite the evidence to the contrary, serviceproviders have argued for years that the streamlined process of statewide videofranchises, instead of local franchising agreements, could have benefits forthe public; such as slightly increasing competition or facilitating a morestrategic statewide universal deployment plan. These providers with interests in breaking into the TV industry, have putintense pressure on legislatures to adopt statewide video franchises. The problem is that industry playersoppose the public interest requirements that always have gone hand-in-hand withfranchise deals.
In the 2008 session, lawmakers in both Tennessee and Louisiana, joined 18 other states, whoallow for statewide video franchises. The legislation in both states reflect the worst of the bad policiesfrom franchise legislation enacted in other states, including minimal, if any,build-out requirements, limits to municipal power and insufficient support toPEG stations.
The negative results of statewide videofranchising emphasize how crucial it is that franchise agreements protectconsumers and ensure affordable access to high-speed Internet. States must protect community services,build-out requirements and PEG stations.
- Build-out Requirements: As legislatures consider franchising legislation, they must confront how companies will be required, over time, to offer service to all communities. The best method to ensure that discriminatory redlining does not occur — and to bring video competition to every household — is to require franchise holders to build-out their services on a reasonable timetable. It is important that states not only specify build-out requirements, but also establish oversight mechanisms to ensure negotiated build-out actually occurs. Some of the best build-out requirement language was proposed in New York A03980, which would have required video service be provided to half of the state's consumers within three years and to 85% percent within five years. Companies selecting the state franchise were not allowed to reduce existing service and redlining could bring on fines.
- Public, Educational and Governmental Channels: Public Educational and Government (PEG) channels are often the only remaining media outlets that broadcast local voices, cover local issues, and show exactly how local governments work. They also allow for targeted programming to reach particular segments of the community that might not be served by major outlets. In order to protect PEG stations, states must first ensure that statewide video franchises do not reduce or eliminate PEG funding and support. It is also important that states include regulations in statewide video franchising to ensure providers carry PEG channels on the most basic tier of service so that the channels are accessible to any individual with a television, regardless of income level or cable package. Michigan legislators, in an attempt to keep PEG on the basic tier, drafted HB 5693, to require that cable providers keep their government channels available to subscribers without requiring the need for additional equipment (unfortunately only until 2009 when all channels go digital). Michigan's amendment uses language similar to that in California's state video franchising legislation, AB 2987, which required that PEG channels be receivable by all subscribers.
- Protecting Municipality Power, Community Benefits and Consumer Protections: Statewide video franchising legislation should protect municipalities' rights to provide high-speed Internet to their residents, allow local communities to collect or share in franchising fees, and provide consumer protection mechanisms that provide fair outlets for customer service complaints.
Some statelegislators have taken steps to rebut the negative trend of statewide videofranchising legislation. InMinnesota SF3337 directs the Department of Commerce to request a study to analyze theimpact of enacted statewide video franchising legislation in at least threestates. This thoughtful approachensures that before Minnesota takes any action, legislators have accurateinformation on the potential effects of statewide franchising and what consumerand municipal protections must be included. In Maine, legislators developed ModelMunicipal Franchise language that has a large portion of the terms alreadyagreed upon by telecommunications companies and ensures that local communitiesnegotiate for important consumer protections. The model bill is an attempt to streamline the franchisingprocess without circumventing municipal power.

|Assistant Women's Basketball Coach
Quacy Timmons is entering her third year as the assistant women's basketball coach at Columbus State in the 2014-2015 season. Timmons brings nine years of Division I coaching experience to the Lady Cougars.
With the Lady Cougars, Timmons is in charge of developing post players while also serving as the recruiting coordinator.
Timmons spent six seasons at Eastern Illinois University of the Ohio Valley Conference. During her time with the Panthers, EIU posted 116 victories which included winning 84 games from 2007-2011, the most by any Eastern Illinois basketball team in a four-year period since the school transitioned into a Division I institution.
In 2009-2010, Eastern Illinois won its first OVC regular season title in program history with a 23-11 record and a 16-2 mark in OVC play.
During her stint at EIU, she coached 16 All-OVC players including three Freshman of the Year award winners and two Defensive Player of the Year honorees.
Prior to Eastern Illinois, Timmons coached a year at Austin Peay and two years at her alma mater, Indiana, from 2003-2005.
Timmons played for the Hoosiers from 1994-1998 while earning two All-Big 10 honors. She still holds the school record for block shots in a career (269) and, at the time of her departure, was among the leaders in points, field goal percentage, free throws and rebounds.
She became the first player in Indiana history to be selected in the WNBA Draft when the Sacramento Monarchs selected her in 1998. From 1998-2002, Timmons played for three WNBA franchises while also playing oversees.
Timmons earned her bachelor's degree in Kinesiology from Indiana in 1998.
The Benton Harbor, MI native is married to Desmond Timmons, a former CSU men's basketball player. The couple has three children – T.J., Taryn and Taylor.

Class of 1984
As a remake of Blackboard Jungle, with a lot of A Clockwork Orange thrown in, the '82 punk rock revenge flick Class of 1984 is still a surprisingly effective piece of exploitation pulp. With a theme song called "I Am the Future" sung by Alice Cooper (shockingly written by long time film and TV composer Lalo Schifrin!) prophetically announcing its intentions— this is a new youth nightmare. Entering the school through metal detectors (now a standard in many urban schools) the hero/teacher in this story, Andrew Norris (Perry King), is shocked at the conditions at his new school, and the kids are much more aggressive and nasty. Blackboard Jungle's Glenn Ford had it easy compared to this guy. Yes, these aren't your father's punk kids anymore.
Shot in Toronto, but sitting in as any mixed-race urban jungle USA, Mr. Norris just wants to teach the good kids music (including a nerdy young Michael J. Fox). But the school seems to be dominated by a punk rock gang led by its genius psychopathic pretty boy, Peter Stegman (Timothy Van Patten), who instantly takes a dislike to Norris for having the gall to want to teach while other teachers like Mr. Corrigan (Roddy McDowall) have just given up. Norris wants to put together a classical music school band and though Stegman can play the piano like that dude in Shine, Norris denies him a spot because of his bad attitude. This begins a deadly showdown between the two.
Unlike the antics of most tough youths in older films, Stegman and his crew are not laughably dated. Their "punk" outfits may look clowni...
Planet Of The Apes (1968)
This is a rant. Make your kids watch Planet Of The Apes. If you have not seen it yet, then you watch it. It is the greatest Science-Fiction film of all time. Some will argue for Blade Runner or 2001 or maybe an old timer would vote for Metropolis, maybe a hipster would call out Solaris (the Russian version from the '70s). But me? I'll take Apes.
Just check out the crazy all-star pedigree it carries: - Directed by Franklin J. Schaffner who, on his next film, Patton, would win the Oscar. - Written by Michael Wilson (Lawrence Of Arabia) and the legendary Rod Serling, creator and sometime writer of the cult TV series, The Twilight Zone. - Based on a novel by the acclaimed French writer Pierre Boulle, author of The Bridge On The River Kwai. - Starring Moses himself, Charlton Heston, Oscar winner for Ben Hur. This would start his run of action and Sci-Fi flicks that would make him almost a combination of Harrison Ford and Arnold Schwarzenegger of the early '70s. - An exotic original score by Jerry Goldsmith and make-up by the innovative designer of the Star Trek TV series, John Chambers. Etc. Etc.Continue Reading
The Loved One
Besides being one of the funniest, yet strangest comedies ever made, The Loved One may be the greatest satire of life in Los Angeles during the 1960s and has one of the most eclectic, but well used casts of all time (including Jonathan Winters in dual roles, Robert Morse, Milton Berle, Rod Steiger, John Gielgud, Paul Williams, Tab Hunter, Roddy McDowall…oh, and Liberace). Morse plays Dennis Barlow, a young British poet who shows up in Los Angeles to visit his uncle, Sir Francis Hinsley (John Gielgud), a film studio worker. After the uncle dies Dennis gets involved with Aimee (Anjanette Comer), an employee at the sinister funeral home, Whispering Glades.
Based on the book by the big-time British novelist Evelyn Waugh (Brideshead Revisited), The Loved One was adapted for the screen by the American satirist Terry Southern (Dr. Strangelove) and the haughty author and critic Christopher Isherwood (A Single Man). To make this motley crew even more improbable it was directed British filmmaker Tony Richardson who arose to much acclaim during the "angry young man" movement of British filmmaking in the late '50s and early '60s and won an Oscar for Tom Jones. But after The Loved One, he was never able to find his filmmaking footing. The film was shot beautifully in black and white, giving a crisp, yet gothic look to the Los Angeles locations, by legendary cinematographer Haskell Wexler (One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?, Bound For Glory) and it was edited by the soon-to-be-major director of the '70s, Hal Ashby (Harold And Maude, Coming Home). All of these very improbable voices came together to create one of the more unique films of the decade.Continue Reading
The Poseidon Adventure
After the phenomenal success in 1970 of Airport ("Grand Hotel on a Airplane"), disaster films became all the rage of '70s pop cinema. The formula consisted of a melodramatic, soapy script with a handful of Oscar winners slumming, stuck in some kind of disastrous situation ranging from earthquakes to meteors. The best of the genre was The Poseidon Adventure, about a luxury liner that gets toppled by a tidal wave and the group of passengers trying to escape (by reaching the bottom of the boat). Besides excellent special effects and a great cast, what makes The Poseidon Adventure especially unusual is the underlying religious subtext; in some ways it's also an allegory about the story of Jesus Christ and his followers.
On its final voyage across the Atlantic, passengers celebrate New Year's Eve on the SS Poseidon. We are introduced to a cross section of archetypes that will become the group we will stick with as they are all invited to sit at the captain's dinner table (played with a straight face by Leslie Nielsen). A teenage girl (Pamela Sue Martin) and her obnoxious little brother (Eric Shea) travel without their parents; a brash New York cop (Ernest Borgnine) and his ex-hooker wife (Stella Stevens), on their way to meet their grandson in Israel (via Greece?); a sweet, old retired Jewish couple (Shelley Winters and Jack Albertson) play to the appropriate clichés; a lonely, soft-spoken bachelor (Red Buttons); and, most importantly, an outspoken renegade priest, Reverend Scott (Gene Hackman). Eventually, after being forced to fall in love with the cast, a massive tidal wave strikes the ship, flipping the boat upside down; a great scene of destructive mayhem follows, with some amazing stunt work.Continue Reading

This simple fish recipe sings the praises of the humble sprout matched with fancy trout (and a splash of champagne).
110g/4oz butter
4 x 200g/7oz turbot fillet, pin-boned, skin on
2 medium shallots, finely sliced
150ml/5fl oz white wine
150ml/5fl oz fish stock
150ml/5fl oz double cream
2 leeks, green part discarded, very finely julienned
10 sprouts, tough outer leaves discarded, very finely julienned
2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked
110ml/4fl oz champagne
2 tbsp chopped chives
Heat a frying pan until hot, add a few knobs of the butter and the fish, skin-side down.
Cook over a medium heat for two minutes until the skin is crisp and the fish is cooked two-thirds of the way through.
Flip over and cook for another minute, then remove from the heat and leave to rest in a warm place for one minute.
Heat a frying pan until medium-hot, add 50g/2oz of the butter and the shallots and fry for a couple of minutes, or until softened but not browned.
Add the white wine and cook until the volume of liquid has reduced by half, then add the fish stock and cook until reduced by half again.
Add the cream and cook once more until reduced by one-third.
Strain through a fine sieve into a clean pan, check the seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
Heat another frying pan until hot, add the rest of the butter, leeks and sprouts and fry over a high heat until just wilted, but still bright green.
Season with a little salt and black pepper.
To serve, return the sauce to the heat and warm until just simmering, then add the champagne and chives and stir through.
Pile the leeks into the centre of four soup plates, then top with the turbot, skin-side up. Spoon the champagne sauce over the top.
