I stumbled upon the book Priceless:
How I Went Undercover to Rescue the World's Stolen Treasures. The founder of the FBI
Art Crime Team, author Robert Wittman recalls a number of cases when he
recovers stolen artifacts or artwork, working undercover convincing mobsters
and corrupt collectors that he'll pay big money for their stolen works. It can take months, even years, of building
rapport with the sellers or middlemen before setting up a sting which involves
large amounts of cash, priceless works of art, and, very likely, guns or other
dangerous weapons.
Wittman struggles with the widely accepted opinion at the bureau
that art crime is less important than other types of investigations. What is even more perplexing to those
investigators that take this stance is that arresting those guilty of the theft
or selling the stolen property is much less important than recovering the
stolen works. Regardless of this, each
time something is recovered, communities celebrate the return of their lost
treasures, whether they have been gone a few months or more than a hundred
The book starts and ends with talking about the Gardener Heist. The
most valuable collection of stolen artwork in the world, the paintings were cut
out of their frames in March 1990 and are estimated to be worth more than $580
million. One painting, Vermeer's "The Concert", is
estimated to be worth $200 million on its own!
We learn from the book that the heist is so well known and the paintings
so recognizable, they could only ever be sold on the black market.
I really enjoyed reading Priceless. Most chapters are their own little short stories. This means the book works well for those with similar scheduled to mine that may not give them an opportunity to sit down with a book for long periods of time. I greatly appreciate that Wittman rescues different types of art and artifacts all with the same dedication to returning them to their rightful owners. Hope you enjoy this book as much as I did if it makes it onto your reading list!
Library of Congress American Folklife Center: an Illustrated Guide…the title sounds bland, but the book/CD set is anything but! It covers a wide cross-section of folk art and folk lore in the United States.
Most amazing is the accompanying CD. With 35 tracks in all, there are songs from all over the U.S., including a song sung by Zora Neale Hurston, storytelling, personal interviews with many different people about aspects of daily living and the impacts of war and slavery. Some recordings are over 100 years old. Altogether they demonstrate the richness and variety of cultural experience in our country. This would be a great teaching tool to help bring an American history topic to life for your students.
Parents, friends and relatives – I know you can relate to this story. Who hasn't seen a child who has given themselves or a child close to them a haircut and yes it is possibly the worst haircut ever. In-between my professional haircuts, I find myself cutting my own bangs – at best it is a hit or miss job.
What happens in this picture book is that big sister Sadie notices that little sister Eva's hair is too long, too curly, too big – really just too out of control. So one day Sadie asks Eva if she wants her to cut her hair and surprise -- she does. Sadie wastes no time in getting the scissors and the haircut is done.
When Sadie realizes that there is a pile of hair on the bathroom floor it is bad – but Eva likes it! Eva runs to find Mom and Dad who lose their cool. Sadie realizes she won't be cutting Eva's hair again and she has to have a consequence. Eva has to get a real haircut. Not unlike when my hairdresser tells me she can cut my bangs in between my regular cut – hum maybe I should hide the scissors – Sadie's parents are putting theirs where she can't find them.
It's okay to be different and this book is about a little crocodile (well, maybe), who has many brothers and sisters with whom he wants to play, but he cannot play with them because they all like to swim and play in the water, but this little crocodile does not like the water. He even saves up his money to buy a swim ring in an attempt to learn to swim, but, it just won't happen. He gets very cold in the water and he begins to shiver, and then, he sneezes FIRE!
This little crocodile does not like to jump, either. However, he is VERY good at doing other things such as… flying and climbing, and something else that if I reveal it to you will give away the surprise ending! The illustrations by Gemma Merino are uproarious and simply convey the emotions of The Crocodile Who Didn't Like Water.
When Theodora's grandfather dies, he leaves her a whispered message and the responsibility to care for her drifty mother, their Brooklyn townhouse, and $463 to hold it all together.
Over the course of this layered story, Theo and her new friend Bodhi work on deciphering the message, which sends them to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Jefferson Market Public Library, the Center for Jewish History.
Under the Egg is an adventure story that gives the reader terrific characters, World War II history, good guys and bad guys, and a lot of wonderful information about art.
The arresting photo on the cover of this book caught my eye and I was quickly drawn into the quirky world of George Ohs, who called himself The Mad Potter.
Born in Biloxi, Mississippi in 1871, George Ohs was a largely self-taught potter, making items like no one had ever seen before. It wasn't until long after his death that the art world came to appreciate what he called his "mud babies."
The Mad Potter: George E. Ohr, Eccentric Genius tells his fascinating story and is illustrated with intriguing historic photographs.
Vacationing on Michigan's Lower Peninsula's scenic west coast shoreline is a wonderful choice. More than one hundred years ago Buster Keaton's family and their vaudeville team vacationed in Bluffton, near Muskegon. Matt Phelan wrote and illustrated a graphic novel titled: Bluffton: My Summers with Buster.
The story, told in remarkable drawings, is about a boy named Henry Harrison who lives in Muskegon year round. Henry hears about the vaudevillians and is captivated by the performers and their animals! He and the young Buster Keaton form a summer friendship and they hang out and play baseball with other kids. When summer ends, kids go back to school, but not for Buster! Buster travels around doing vaudeville acts, then returns to Bluffton the next summer. Bluffton offers a glimpse into the life of one of the world's most well-known silent screen actors and the few summers he lived on the shores of Lake Michigan.
Go back in time and watch Buster Keaton's black and white slapstick silent films on KPL's Hoopla site. It's accessible directly from the KPL catalog, just enter Buster Keaton in the search field.
Vermont based, veteran children's book author/illustrator and artist Lizi Boyd's latest literary effort is a wordless picture book that is deceptively simple. Inside Outside incorporates cool, slightly hidden, die-cut page openings through which readers can catch glimpses of what's transpired and what is yet to come. This device is used to slyly, yet gently tie in the future and the past to the present, underscoring the continuity of the passage of time.
By means of bright, sharply colored drawings set in a predominantly muted, light brown background, Boyd tells the story of a seemingly self-sufficient young boy doing inside and outside activities over the course of one calendar year. Inside overlaps outside, and outside overlaps inside with each turn of the page, until we come full circle to the initial season once more.
With a collection of animal friends lending a helping wing, paw or claw, the young boy proves that there is no room for boredom no matter what time of year it is. Together they read, make crafts, fly a kite, plant a garden and engage in more activities than I could list here.
This book is great for a "one-on-one" reading session. That way both child and caregiver can pour over the intricate illustrations that show plenty of action both obvious and hidden, and share in the mutual delight brought about by their discovery.
Lizi's dogs both agree.

DALLAS - "I don't think people need to panic, they just need to be aware," said Dr. Alfred Johnson, an Internal Medicine doctor from Richardson.
Dropping pesticide from the sky naturally raises questions -- ones that at least 20 patients are putting to Dr. Johnson.
"I tell them if they can, and they're real sensitive, to leave town," he added.
He doesn't suggest everyone needs to evacuate, but only certain people.
"People that already have lung disease, asthma, hypersensitivity, allergies - are more susceptible," Johnson said.
The chemical, called Duet, will rain down on Dallas County beginning at 10:00 p.m. Thursday.
The official Material Safety Data Sheet on Duet says it could cause a burning or prickling sensation to skin, tearing and blurred vision if exposed to someone's eyes, and respiratory irritation if inhaled.
Regardless, aerial spraying is a common way to fight the West Nile virus.
Health officials insist it effectively reduces the threat.
Houston has used aerial spraying every year for a decade, according to Dr. Rudy Bueno, Harris County Mosquito Control. He said contractors hired by the county even doused all of Harris County after Hurricane Ike in 2008.
"For a day or two, it would make sense not to wear your shoes that you wore outdoors [when you go] indoors and be careful about what you touch," Johnson said.
Still, it's hard to predict who or how many could have reactions to it.
Dr. Johnson said the spray should be settled by the time people get up to go to work Friday morning. But since the pesticide is oil-based, it will likely stay around longer than some others.

News Letter. October 1984 part 4.
Orthografi.A mekanism must be fownd in order tu implement spelling chanj. We must edukat teechers on how speling must adapt, in order for it tu remain reedabol. We must tel th world abowt th basik distinkt sounds in th human vois spektrum. We have tu kultivat the linggwistik soil, enshur a gud klymat, befor we kan so th seeds of speling growth. In a living langwij, speling must flo and gro, bloom and doom.
I advokat that diksioneris use a standard short re-speling: Wreak/REEK/ sens english diksioneris yuz two spelings for eech word; one for ryting, one for saying. If we kan perswad Oxford-Webster tu yuz a standard gyd for enunsiasion, using fonik speling, we wil hav somthing.
Why it was Mr Lindgren unabol to komvens (convince) (com=con=cum) Australian teechers tu spel "guess" as "ges"? SR1 was lyk a montain tu unacustomd peepl hu felt that if "heel" is speld "heal", then "healthy" must include the word "heal" also. We must no how we failed in order to sukseed. We need a kreditabol plan, a sykolojikal road map to sukses.
I now propoz an intermediat step, a step before SR1:
SHORT SPELING and th Song of th Sownds of Anglish.
How meni vowl sownds ar herd in langwij english? Five, six. Is 'Y' a vowl sownd, or a simbol? Ar 'Q', 'C' and 'G' kon-sownd-nents, or grafik simbols? Wot vowl sownds ar herd in: dull, full, trust, fur, food, and good? Wot kon-sownd-nents ar herd in: rouge, chic, then and thin?
Obviosli, english has twys as meni sownds as efektiv simbols (leter characters) for them. Meni sownds as SH, TH voisd, Th unvoisd, ar represented by digrafs (two leters). See a gud diksioneri.
As an ideal, ol foneem (basik sownds) of english shud be herd in th Alfabet Song (tune Twinkle Star) using an ol sownd alfabet.
Th "Song of th Sownds of Anglish" gos lyk this:
Ash Beth Choy Ding E Fur Go, Hu I Jay Kah Le My No,
I Peu Q Rouge Soothe Tee U,
Vu Wow Xox Ye Zi we fownd Evri english vokal sownd.
Notes: "Hu" is sed "who" (hoo)* "U" is sed "oo" as in "rude" and in Spain* "V" is sed "vous" (french) and ryms with "you"* "Le" rhymes with "the" (not "thee")* "Peu" ryms with "deu" (french)* "Q" /kew/ ryms with "rue" (french) (th rownd ee sownd)* "X" /xox/ is sed "ghoch" as in Scotish "Loch" (lake) throat konsonent* "Ye" is plural for "you", "E" is generic "he"* "Zi" is said "zee" as in America*.
Th nom of ech simbol has bin expanded tu inklud everi english speech sownd. Th french-orijin ZH sownd as in "rouge" and "pleasure" is inkluded in th song. Th most komon vowl sownd in english, th schwa vowl, (up syd e, ə) is also inkluded. See a gud diksioneri.
In this wa children at an erli age, wen they sing th Song of th Sownds, wil lern ol th sownds herd in english and not onli thoz wich kan be represented by th Roman alfabet. This song wil enkuraj diksioneri kompanis tu develop standard representasions for th english vois sownds, wer as ech diksioneri now has its oan konfusing guide for enunsiasion. This aural Song of th Sownds wil eez tu proses of lerning tu reed owr inkonsistent and deseptiv speling.
K. Tillema, Chatham, Ontario, Canada. [See News7 pt2.]
I don't think that this song can easily be learnd. You may not no that Ken Tillema is an ardent, forceful reformer, who rites to Mayors, and to newspapers, and once even to H.R.H. The Duke of Edinburgh. Our former President mentiond in his reply that Ken was the first letter riter to use a simplified script. We ar too diffident about using our Simplified Spelling. H.R.H. is no longer our President, unfortunately, so we can't rite to him.
An amusing and thoughtful letter from Robert Craig. For the uninitiated it may be helpful to mention that he refers to Traditional Spelling, Reformed Spelling and the Initial Teaching Alphabet.
Editor - S.S.S. News letter.
Deer Editor,
For several hundred yeerz the Tradissional Beveraj Korporasion haz been making a proddukt kauld "Old and Pekuliar". Now, it is jenneraly agreed, by thoze ho shoud noe, that Old and Pekuliar is pritty fowl stuf. So abowt eity yeerz ago a number ov experts in drinks mannufacture got together and set up the Tasty Drinks Kumpany. Befor too long Tasty Drinks had prodused a rival to Old and Pekuliar, wich they kauld "Neu Drink".
Everyone sed that Neu Drink was reely exselent, but for sum reezon they kontinued to drink Old and Pekuliar. The direktorz ov Tasty Drinks were verry dissapointed. After konsidderabl hart serching they desided to launch Neu Drink az a children'z drink. They moddified it slightly, and tested the market. Children luvd it, professional peepl in edukasion sed it waz goud for them. But, after the inissial enthusiasm, salez dropt of again. After a number ov yeerz anuther mannufakturer braut owt hiz oen version ov Neu Drink, wich he kauld "Inissial Drink". Inissial Drink eeven had government suport. Its suksess seemd asured, yet after several yeerz ov rekkord salez, the market fel away. How kan it be that Old and Pekuliar, wich iz noen to taste aufoul, mannajez to maintain its hold on the market?
Robert Craig, Weston-Super-Mare, Avon. [See Journals, Newsletters.]
PARSIALLY SIMPLIFIED SPELLING.Only use PARSIALLY SIMPLIFIED SPELLING, not the old spelling. Free information:
J. Cober. [See Newsletters.]
I want to let you know that I no longer use the usual spelling. So that people wil know that I do not necessarily make spelling mistakes.
Whatever led to the present spelling, there is no reason why we, or our children have to keep on writing this senseles way. If I learned the metrik system and nobody else did, I could not use it. But even if nobody else does change their way of spelling, I am able to use a much simpler spelling al by myself.
At present many words are spelled different than they were 400 years ago. How come? Was there an official body that decided to write "wind" instead of "wynde"? Who decided to write: color, labor, nite? The people did. Not everybody yet. But it has already become so popular that some of these new spellings are acceptable and appear in some dictionarries. So, there does not have to be, necessarily, an official body.
I have herd these arguments at our meetings. But it seems to me that "Spell as you choos" means slower reading, for even now I paus at unusual spellings befor I grasp the meaning. However, we ar used to "color and labor and theater." Surely they should be acceptabl alternativs used in al schools?
Back to the top.

David Ortiz and the Boston Red Sox capped their remarkable turnaround by beating the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 in Game 6 on Wednesday to win their third World Series championship in 10 seasons, clinching at Fenway Park for the first time since 1918. There hasn't been a party like this in New England for nearly a century.
Indian Olympic Association today termed the government's directive to adhere to age and tenure guidelines in its upcoming elections as "illegal" and "unconstitutional" and said that it could even move the Supreme Court if its case in Delhi High Court goes against it.
A record haul at the recently concluded Olympics showed just how much prowess the country has made in sport. There's still a long way to go, though. Fortunately, even the rest of the world seems to be doing their bit for Indian sport.

Putin's idea to house Jewish collections rejectedtags: documents, AP, Russia, Jews, Ashkenazi, Chabad
A U.S.-based Jewish group Thursday rejected Russian President Vladimir Putin's suggestion to house disputed historical collections of books and documents at a Jewish museum in Moscow.
Nathan Lewin, a lawyer for the Jewish group Chabad, said in a statement provided to The Associated Press that Chabad is the rightful owner and Putin's proposal is not acceptable.
"The collection must be returned to the Agudas Chasidei Chabad library at Chabad's worldwide headquarters in Brooklyn, New York," Lewin said...
...There are two collections at issue: 12,000 religious books and manuscripts seized during the Bolshevik revolution and the Russian Civil War nearly a century ago; and 25,000 pages of handwritten teachings and other writings of religious leaders stolen by Nazi Germany during World War II, then transferred by the Soviet Red Army as war booty to the Russian State Military Archive. The books and manuscripts, some hundreds of years old, record Chabad's core teachings and traditions...

You may start with your left foot hooked around the edge. Scant feet. Move to the right. Quite painful.
You're calling this a V2?? Ive seen V5s that are easier than this thing. Maybe its just me, but I think V2 is a sandbagged grade.
It's a 5.13 traverse!
We haven't seen anyone do this sick traverse so really we should have a ? grade for it. I agree, its probably way harder than V5.
This is solid 5.13, which should put it are v8 or higher depending on the thickness of your fingers. I guess the only attraction to this problem is its difficulty and location, but definately worth trying.
Could give a location for this problem?
I second that (above): Where is it? Knowing the engineering center, a V8 might not be an obvious line....

Many things have changed in the game of football over the years. Money has created new super teams, there is a big 6 instead of a big 4 (or something). The biggest change has been the parity we have seen in the last few seasons. Sure there is still a "cream of the crop" so to speak. There are only a handful of teams who can realistically think they have a shot at the title, but there are far fewer "easy" games. The points total for teams have moves closer to the median than the extremes.
What has led to this?
1. - More lucrative TV deals signed by the league. The disbursement of TV revenue is fairly even from top to bottom compared to other leagues (the 20th team get's 75% of what 1st gets). Couple this with the fact that the EPL has a much larger TV revenues than other European leagues, so there is a lot of money to go around to all of the teams involved.
2. - Scouting is easier in the Information Age. There are not as many "hidden gems" these days. An expansive scouting network is still valuable, but media outlet's from all corner's of the earth report on the "next big thing." It's much easier for a team to follow up on a lead than to uncover it themselves.
3. - Young players would rather play now than learn under a great coach/system/veteran. This is happening in all sports across the world. While not true in many cases, a lot of young players want to leave the academy's early to get first team action now.
4. - There are more good players. Training has really improved in the English game. Now leagues everywhere know what drills to do, what nutrition guide to follow and how to improve skill and physical performance. There are still few truly elite players, but there are many more second and third tier players to go around.
Will this continue?
Quite possibly maybe. This trend could very well continue, especially because of reasons 2-4 above. The money issue is where a change could revert to help the old guard. FPP might be good to restrict spending, but it almost guarantees that the teams that generate the most money will have the best opportunity to build a successful team. Without getting into details, EPL teams may be fairly even on the TV front (unlike in Spain), but the top teams rule the commercial and match day revenue fronts. FPP does not limit the ability to generate income, just a teams ability to spend above that income. Because of this, the marketable teams (ManU, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool) will always have a huge economic advantage. It will be interesting to see if any "small' club can crack the top four in the coming years. In my mind it will remain unlikely.
Some note on teams this season:
United: Can't defend anyone, but keep getting the results they need through sheer goalscoring. They certainly have the confidence right now.
City: The desire and prowess from last year seams gone. They aren't playing bad per se, but certainly not impressive. Again like United they are getting results they need.
Chelsea: They have the creative talent, but are certainly not an impressive all around team. If they make moves in January like they did in the summer they could be favorites for the next few years.
Liverpool: I will just say this, watching Suarez score a huge equalizing goal in an important game, then run to the corner to celebrate with... no one? That says a lot about this team or that player, not good.
Arsenal: Nothing to add that hasn't been voiced many times, except: There are still opportunities for a great season. Can't give up in this new EPL.

A hanukkiyah is a candelabrum with eight candleholders in a row and a ninth candleholder set a little above the others. It's different from a menorah, which has seven branches and was used in the Temple before it was destroyed in 70 CE. A hanukkiyah is nevertheless a kind of menorah.
The hanukkiyah is used during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah and commemorates the miracle of the oil. According to the Hanukkah story, once Jewish revolutionaries had retaken the Temple from the Syrians they wanted to rededicate it to God and restore its ritual purity. Eight days worth of oil were needed to complete the ritual purification, but they were only able to find one day's worth of oil. They lit the menorah anyway and miraculously the oil lasted for eight full days.
In commemoration of this event Hanukkah is celebrated for eight days and a candle is lit on the hanukkiyah on each of those days. One candle is lit the first night, two the second, and so on, until the final night when all the candles are lit. Each of the eight candles is lit with a "helper" candle known as the shamash. The shamash is lit first, is used to light the other candles, and then is returned to the ninth candle spot, which is set apart from the others.
How to Use a Hanukkah Menorah
It is customary to light the candles from left to right, with the newest candle being in the leftmost spot. This custom arose so that the candle for the first night would not always be lit before the others, which might be taken to symbolize that the first night was more important than the other nights of Hanukkah.
It is also customary to place the lit hanukkiyah in a window so that passersby will see it and be reminded of the miracle of the Hanukkah oil. It is forbidden to use the light of the hanukiyah for any other purpose – for instance, to light the dinner table or to read by.

"Pretty Little Liars" star Brant Daugherty is on a break from Rosewood, but he faced some real life peril this week. After a filming of "Dancing With the Stars," a thief held him up at gunpoint outside his apartment complex.
"After the show I got dropped off and was walking up to my apartment building, and a man followed me up with a gun and told me to give him my stuff," Daugherty, who earned this week's highest scores on "Dancing With The Stars" with his partner Peta Murgatroyd, told People. "It was a complete random occurrence of events and it led up to one of the worst nights of my life – after having such a great night last week on the dance floor."
Daugherty said the thief made off with workout gear, a pair of dancing shoes, a toothbrush and his cell phone. He jokes that there's now a thief out there with clean teeth and a passion for dance.
Murgatroyd said Daugherty couldn't completely laugh the incident off. "He came in the next morning … and he was so flustered and emotional. I was like, 'Oh my Lord, he's had the worst time,'" she said.
Ugh, how awful. Poor guy. At least he'll have lots of emotions to express on the dance floor, I guess.

Bill to abolish death penalty filed in Mo. House
Legislation has been filed in the Missouri House that would abolish the death penalty.
If the bill becomes law, any pending executions in Missouri would be halted, and all inmates sentenced to death would be re-sentenced to life without probation or parole. It's sponsored by State Representative Penny Hubbard (D, St. Louis). She says she doesn't believe that capital punishment is an effective deterrent.
"I'm not saying that when a person commits a crime that they should not be punished," Hubbard said. "I just feel like life without probation or parole would suffice, and I don't feel like at this day and time we ought to be doing an eye-for-an-eye."
Hubbard also said that there's the possibility that some inmates under a death sentence in Missouri may actually be innocent. The bill's chances of passing or even being debated are slim, with strong Republican majorities controlling both the Missouri House and Senate – and Democratic Governor Jay Nixon also supports the death penalty. Hubbard says she hopes the bill will at least get a hearing.

That performance means SAP grew twice as fast in EMEA as its "nearest competitor," McDermott claimed, in an apparent allusion to Oracle.
He also named some key customer wins, including the Crocs shoe company and the National Basketball Association. The latter bought analytics software from SAP that will help it win "the game behind the game," McDermott said.
Through a mix of acquisitions and internal product development, SAP in recent years has oriented its strategy around a number of areas, including mobile applications and cloud-based software.
"IT landscapes are transforming radically," and SAP's product strategies are meeting customers where they're already going, co-CEO Jim Hagemann Snabe said during the call.
SAP's Rapid Deployment Solutions -- sets of preconfigured software and services -- are finding success, Snabe said. About 1,000 customers have bought RDS packages since their introduction in 2010, with more than half of those sold in the first two quarters of this year, according to Snabe.
The vendor has apparently also moved well beyond the past controversy over its Enterprise Support service. Introduced in 2008, the service added new features but also raised the cost of customers' annual support fees.
SAP made a number of concessions after an outcry from its user base, including the restoration of a basic support option. But today, 96 percent of customers are choosing Enterprise Support, CFO Werner Brandt said during the call.
The company has plenty to keep it busy through the rest of this fiscal year. For one, SAP's cloud software strategy can't come into full focus until it completes the recently announced acquisition of Ariba. That deal is still under scrutiny by regulatory agencies and it's not clear when it will close.
These regulatory hurdles are "quite normal," Brandt said. "At the end of the day we assume we'll get the green light in the fourth quarter."
Meanwhile, SAP is also seeking to position HANA not just as the future convergence point for all its technologies, but also as an application development platform.
That will be the focus of discussion at SAP's upcoming Tech Ed conference in October, executive board member and technology chief Vishal Sikka said in an interview.
While HANA continues maturing, SAP has positioned the Sybase ASE database as an option for customers now running rival databases such as Oracle underneath SAP Business Suite.
Sikka also reaffirmed that HANA will support the company's core Business Suite ERP application modules by the end of this year.
Oracle will undoubtedly make strong defensive moves against SAP if HANA or ASE begin making serious inroads to its database business.
In addition, Oracle is planning to release a long-awaited new edition of its database around the turn of the year, according to CEO Larry Ellison. That timing may present a more difficult decision for customers running Oracle, who in any event would have to choose between upgrading a familiar technology or replacing it wholesale.
SAP is ready to compete with Oracle's next-generation database, which is expected to be called 12c, with the "c" standing for cloud.
"They can bring it on, and we'll see," Sikka said.

Watch: 2 Interviews with Director Roman Polanski Discussing His Illustrious Career
Yesterday, Polish-French director Roman Polanski celebrated his 80th birthday, and while his past is fraught with tragedy and controversy, it also brims with cinematic excellence from his 58-year directing career, only 10 of which he spent making American films. Recognizing his great contribution to the world of cinema, The Playlist has shared two in-depth interviews with the at times fated filmmaker, a 1984 TV interview with Clive James and an episode of Scene By Scene with Mark Cousins which aired in 2000. Polanski shares his experience escaping from the Kraków Ghetto, his approach to filmmaking, and how he pulled off cutting Jack Nicholson's nose in Chinatown. More »

- Great eveningNickiDined on 8/30/2014An enjoyable evening! The food and atmosphere were outstanding!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lunch at the BoathouseOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/30/2014I have been to this restaurant many many times. And will continue to go for the view and the ambiance. But I must say the food quality seems to have slipped. The last two visits have been disappointing in terms of exceptional cuisine. My sad little piece of swordfish sat alone on a huge white plate, and wasn't inexpensive. The fish tasted fine, but it could certainly have used some sort of edible garnish on the plate. My side of mashed potatoes was rather soupy, and lumpy. I absolutely love the Boathouse special chowder, and recommend it to each friend I bring to the restaurant. But this past visit, it was so thick, you could stand the spoon in it. New chef??????Special Features:
- Must experienceMoedDined on 8/29/2014Found boat house this summer through open table and have been there four times . If you enjoy great food good wine and a view that boasts great sunsets you have to give them a try.Looking forward to many more visits.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- food not up to parOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/29/2014Very disappointed with the food. Have eaten here before and it was good. For the price( as long as the food is good) I don't mind paying the prices. But that was not up to my expectations of what the food should be in an upscale farm to table restaurant. Although, the dessert was outstanding. It also bugs me that there are no placemats. You could offer rolls or something to nibble on while you wait for your meal. When I e-mailed for my reservation I was specific what I wanted and they lived up to that (good going)!!! Let it be known that it is very hard to rate overall because some things were great and others not so.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FurbDined on 8/27/2014It was a great experience, as always. Our waitress was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My favorite restaurant ever45thDiningDined on 8/26/2014Beautiful, stunning sunset over the water, flowing in the giant open windows, people filling the tables from one open covered deck on on end to the other on the north end, food to perfection, central bar keeping up with the demand, service that rolled with our every mood change. Just a spectacular place to dine, especially in warm weather with the sun falling into the distant landscape. Look forward to going back soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a disappointment!MyrnaDined on 8/26/2014After dining earlier in the summer at The Boat House and having had a delightful evening and very good food, we were so surprised at the difference when we returned the other evening. It was as though it was a totally different restaurant. The server was pleasant but inattentive and the food was beyond mediocre for the price. We shall probably never return even though the setting is lovely.Special Features:
- Great TimeOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/25/2014Great meal and evening for the four of us. Couldn't ask for a better sunset and the food and service complimented everything.Special Features:

- Date NightmomsnightoutDined on 8/23/2014This was my first visit and I was pleasantly surprised. The views were amazing, the restaurant busy and food was phenomenal . I started with a cup of their clam chowder then we had the Lobster Friitas, they were even good reheated the next day. Main Entree was the grilled scallops and shrimp in the lemon vinaigrette. Followed by a scoop of Mint Gelato! Service was ok, seemed a little slow. Had to wait over 10 minutes for gelato to make it to the table, cream brulee maybe, but gelato. We would totally come back again!Special Features:

Was vacationing in the area and looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate my parent's 64 wedding anniversary. This fit the bill perfectly. Got a table by the window the food and service was outstanding. Great place for any occasion.Special Features:
- kgoodwinekgoodwineDined on 8/20/2014I love dining here and have had many enjoyable meals and good times, I love taking people here, especially when they have not been here before. On my last visit there was a leak coming from under the bar at quite a fast rate.

They will have a wonderful experience!!Special Features:
- Lovely view.MartiniDined on 8/19/2014This time we had a great afternoon. Last time I ate here, I wrote to tell you about my experience and heard nothing from you. A year ago I ordered a martini and the busboy knocked it over and broke the glass on our table. The bar sent me a " half of a martini" to replace the one that was knocked over. Really thought long and hard about returning to the Boathouse.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/18/2014Great place to meet old friends. They gave us plenty of time to catch up and chat. Meals were good. Having the open table option for making a reservation was very helpful. Staff wS very friendly and accommodating.Special Features:

- You MUST go!HeatherMacDined on 8/17/2014If you want to eat REALLY well on the water, then you should NOT miss the Boat House! Amazing kitchen staff, fresh local ingredients prepared the right way, attentive staff, and a view worth driving for. FINALLY, someone got it right! The portions were just on the edge of being too much, however even with our full bellies, we could've kept going...it was that good! Fish and Chips were perfection, BBQ half chicken amazing, seafood stew was outrageous! We have found our happy place on the water and almost don't want to share how amazing it is as we want to keep it all to ourselves! But if you enjoy a truly wonderful dining experience in an amazing setting, you can not miss The Boat House!Special Features:
- Summer PerfectBottomline222VIPDined on 8/17/2014If you are looking for the perfect outside dinning spot for the Summer (Spring & Fall also) the Boat House is it.

- Great spotHappyEaterDined on 8/16/2014We had a great time at this restaurant. The location is amazing. I was very happy with the service. Here's my disappointment .. they ran out of veggie burgers.

We have been enjoying the boathouse since it's opening but this meal was the best ever.Special Features:
- An in spotrettsgramDined on 8/15/2014At 6:30 the parking lot was filling up and the noise level was already rising, but with our reservation, we were seated in an outdoor but covered room with zippzble sides which were needed as the evening cooled. Service was very attentive, the bread was cloud like, soft inside and crunchy on the outside. I ordered the ala carte seafood and sides, which was a more plain entree than my table mate's were, all who had more lovely and more thoughtful presentations and combinations of flavors. All enjoyed the entrees which were so large we skipped dessert. Would definitley go back again!Special Features:

Looking across the water and watching the last rays of sunlight and a blue blue sky is a highlight of the summer in RI. The food is adequate , as is the service. Part of the Newport chain of restaurants, the Boathouse does not achieve the quality of the food found at the other locations. The chef is a bit ambitious with some of his combinations. Overall, however, you can't beat the location and there Re plenty of choices on the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Here's a closer look at a matchup to watch in Sunday's Browns-Saints game:
Saints' running game vs. Browns' run defense
After averaging just 75.6 yards on the ground in the first five games, the Saints exploded for 212 rushing yards in their 31-6 win at Tampa Bay in Week Six. Rookie RB Chris Ivory, an undrafted free agent, racked up 158 yards on 15 carries. The Saints' offensive line gave Ivory the creases he needed, and Ivory helped himself, too, showing an ability to break tackles. The 6-foot, 222-pound undrafted free agent doesn't have elite speed, but he runs hard and can pick up extra yards if the opponent's tackle attempts aren't up to par.
If Pierre Thomas (ankle) misses another game — he has not played in New Orleans' last three contests and missed practice Wednesday — Ivory likely will be the Saints' featured back, with veterans Julius Jones (9-32-0 in Week Six) and Ladell Betts (6-20-1) in reserve.
The Browns have allowed 109 yards or more on the ground in all five or their losses this season but are surrendering a respectable 4.0 yards per carry, which places them in the upper half in the league in that category. Cleveland has generally done a nice job clogging the middle on run plays this season, with NT Ahtyba Rubin having a fine season.
One other aspect to watch is whether the Browns can force Ivory, who has three fumbles (two lost) this season, to cough up the ball. The Browns have recovered four fumbles this season.

On a Fourth of July of baseball stretching from sea to shining sea, holiday festivities got started practically by the dawn's early light in the nation's capital, and America's pastime kept celebrating from there.Nationals Park was the site for an 11 a.m. ET start between the National League's best team and the visiting Giants. Naturally, red, white and blue enveloped every sight line -- from pregame military ceremonies to the Nationals' navy blue jerseys with the stars-and-stripes "curly W." With Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral James A. Winnefeld, Jr., throwing out the first pitch, Miss United States Ashley Smith singing "God Bless America" and the Presidential Race providing yet another disappointment for Teddy Roosevelt, there was no shortage of patriotic displays at Nationals Park. But that's just one of the 15 venues that hosted baseball under Fourth of July skies on Wednesday, from the big-city confines of Citi Field to the nation's heartland and all the way out to sunny California, finishing in the Southern California twilight. In each ballpark, the red, white and blue reminders of a 236-year-old country's greatness were splashed across the stands and on the players' caps -- and in their hearts and minds. "It's a great day," Indians outfielder Johnny Damon said before Cleveland's celebration of the holiday. "This country has become one of the best in the world because of what our forefathers did way back then. We're able to go out there and play, entertain, and live in this free country. Hopefully there will be plenty of fireworks coming from our bats today." With nine runs in the first two innings, the Indians indeed did make sparks fly in the daylight while hosting the Angels on the Fourth. Elsewhere around the country as baseball celebrated July 4: In New York, the Mets set a Citi Field record by drawing 42,516 fans to their first fireworks night the evening before, so their celebration lasted well into the holiday. On Wednesday, the Mets invited Miss America 2012 Laura Kaeppeler to sing the national anthem in a duet with Kory Leigh Glattman, winner of Macy's 4th of July Star Spangled Sing-Off competition. A recorded version was to be played during the finale of a second fireworks show. In Pittsburgh, the Pirates held Military Appreciation Day at PNC Park, with the club making up to four tickets available to each veteran and active member of the Armed Forces. Also, Pirates pitcher Charlie Morton and his wife Cindy hosted 40 military members and their families from Operation Troop Appreciation and Wounded Warriors during the game. In Cleveland, Damon and the rest of the Indians followed up Tuesday's celebration of a first pitch from retired World War II nurse Rebecca Eden and postgame fireworks by honoring numerous area military members on the holiday. Among them were Sgt. First-Class Brady Pugh from Columbus, Ohio, Capt. Shawn Robinson from Akron, Ohio, civilian employee Lori Bennett, and First Lieutenant Joel Rivera. In St. Petersburg, the Rays had their mascot Raymond dressed up in Uncle Sam attire, and they had more traditional displays at Tropicana Field as well. The USO Liberty Bells, a group whose history dates back to World War II that travels throughout the world performing for service men and women, their families and veterans, sang the national anthem. That was followed by a ceremonial first pitch from Col. Lenny Richoux, Commander of the 6th Air Mobility Wing at nearby MacDill Air Force Base.
In Milwaukee, six different branches of the military -- including the Wisconsin National Guard and Wisconsin Air National Guard -- combined to throw out ceremonial first pitches before the Brewers game against Miami.
In Atlanta, a pregame flyover by four T-6 Texans, a training plane used in World War II and the 1950s, highlighted the festivities.
St. Louis played host to a special edition of the Star Spangled Banner that saw an A cappella group of service men and women called 4-Digit Chord sing the anthem. There was also a hot dog eating contest that Coney Island's would be proud of.
"It certainly is something fans get excited for," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said before the game. "They know it's America's pastime, and day to celebrate our freedom and a lot of things that we take for granted. For me, there's no better way to celebrate than watching a game of baseball. We always have great turnouts and it's a good day at the baseball park."
After the top of the first inning in Los Angeles, a Dodger fan currently stationed in Afghanistan surprised his wife with a video message displayed for the entire crowd.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said had mixed feelings as to playing on July 4.
"As a player, it was always the one day that was kind of weird because as a kid you grow up with picnics and fireworks and hanging out with your family and as players we're here," he said. "Then I look at the NBA and they are playing on Christmas, it's part of it. For us to be part of the past time and thinking about our independence of our country, it's kind of cool."
Before the D-backs game against the Padres, 25 families representing each branch of the military lined the outfield grass for armed forces appreciation. Then, nearly 50 civilians took their oath of enlistment on the right-field warning track.
In Detroit, the Tigers donated 1,000 tickets to local military members and veterans to bring their families and enjoy a Fourth of July evening at the ballpark.
In Seattle, U.S. Army Sergeant Corrin Campbell sang the national anthem. Campbell has been in the U.S. Army for five years, but has also led a double life of sorts as a singer. She has performed for troops in Iraq and opened for Ted Nugent and Toby Keith on their USO tour through Baghdad.
"It's a remarkable gathering of all of us," Campbell said. "No matter where we stand politically, socially, economically, we all come together and remember that 267 years ago or whatever it was, we were able to decide a conscious way to live our lives."

Croatia and Spain have both defeated Euro 2012's worst team in Ireland and drawn Italy, a team that was expected to play a conservative style would undoubtedly lead to a draw or two. They both have four points, and we've learned very little about both of them. On Monday, Croatia finally has to deal with an elite attacking side and Spain has to play against a back four that isn't poor, a midfielder that can launch counter attacks and a team that's dangerous on set pieces.
Italy haven't performed poorly in this tournament and certainly have some talent among their ranks, but Spain and Croatia will still provide each other with the toughest test that either team has seen so far. The Spaniards are heavy favorites and it would be stunning if they failed to at least draw, but this game is by no means a gimme for them.
Last game: Spain 4-0 Ireland, Croatia 1-1 Italy
Luka Modric will be Spain's biggest concern, and Vicente del Bosque will almost certainly be aware of exactly what happens when he's not specifically accounted for. Italy, inexplicably, didn't specifically assign a midfielder to pick him up, nor did they make it a priority as a group. Croatia controlled the second half of that game because of Modric, so don't be surprised if Sergio Busquets is narrowly focused on him, as opposed to simply sitting in a zone on the pitch.
On the other end, Croatia's central defenders will need to up their games. Their fullbacks have performed well thus far, but the center of their defense has been let off the hook by poor finishing by both Ireland and Italy. They might not be too concerned by a Spanish team that floods the midfield with a 4-6-0, but Fernando Torres was so good against Ireland that del Bosque is likely to stick with him and abandon the no-striker formation.
Torres has run extremely hot and cold for club and country over the last four months, which is a significant improvement over the previous 14 months, when he was consistently poor. He is among the best center forwards in the world at his best, and even though no one's seen his best for back-to-back games since just before his 2010 knee injury, he appears to have something left in the tank.
Spain will likely be the aggressive versions of themselves in the early going, while Croatia are likely to put nine men behind the ball, then look to find their center forwards quickly when they win the ball back, but it might not stay like that for the entirety of the game. Consider that a draw against Spain is a fantastic result for Croatia and that Spain hold a head-to-head tiebreaker over Italy. Spain have not been averse to passing the ball in circles, doing little to attack the goal when it suits them. If Italy don't lay a royal beatdown on Ireland, a draw could send both Croatia and Spain through to the knockout stage.
Croatia could also push Luka Modric up the pitch in an attempt to pack their midfield, withdrawing one of Mario Mandzukic or Nikica Jelavic, more likely the latter. Against a Spain team that's so dominant in the middle, it makes sense, but so many of Croatia's best attacks have come from the two strikers' exchanges with each other.
No one's going to start the match playing for a handshake draw, but everyone has mobile phones with internet access in this day and age, and both managers will know exactly what's going on in the other game. At some point, there might not be any incentive for either team to commit numbers forward and incur any kind of defensive risk, and that's when apparent "handshake" draws happen.
Projected Spain Lineup (4-3-3): Iker Casillas; Jordi Alba, Sergio Ramos, Gerard Pique, Alvaro Arbeloa; Sergio Busquets, Xabi Alonso, Xavi Hernandez; Andres Iniesta, Fernando Torres, David Silva
Projected Croatia Lineup (4-4-1-1): Stipe Pletikosa; Ivan Strinic, Gordon Schildenfeld, Vedran Corluka, Darijo Srna; Ivan Rakitic, Tomislav Dujmovic, Ognjen Vukojevic, Ivan Perisic; Luka Modric; Mario Mandzukic

The book of Beckley basketball will add a new chapter Friday. For the first time in school history, Woodrow Wilson will host it's home basketball game at the high school instead of the Beckley Raleigh County Convention Center.
"It's a little bit different but I'm excited and I'm sure the kids are excited to be the first team ever to play in the home gym," said head coach Ron Kidd.
The game against Winfield is one of two on the schedule that is moved to the high school, and while some fans may have mixed feelings, the players welcome the change.
"I'm happy myself, being a senior and we're the first group to ever do this, so it's pretty big for us," said Jaylon Breckenridge.
The Woodrow gym recently had a facelift. With stands that can hold over 1,300 people and a new sound system, the facility is finally ready to handle the Flying Eagles followers.
Brent Osborne said, "they put in a nice little sound system so I'm sure pregame will be jumping."
While the home court is beyond fitting for a high school basketball game, Woodrow's Athletic Department has made one thing clear. The change is a just a scheduling conflict, and the Armory is still where Beckley basketball lives.
"I think it's a special event the way I look at it. I feel good about our kids having the opportunity to play in front of our school. So, we never want to leave Armory, because we feel like that's our home," added Kidd.
Though the change is just for a couple games, the players are still hopeful loyal fans will pack the house.
"I think it's going to be a great turnout either way, doesn't matter if we're at the Armory or here, I hope it's going to be good," said Noah Hancock.
Wherever the flying eagles spread their wings, one thing is for sure, the venue may be different but the mindset is the same.
"It's basketball. Beckley basketball," explained Breckenridge.
Kidd agreed, "once a Flying Eagle always a Flying Eagle."
The legend of Beckley basketball continues Friday at 7:30.
