Need more cop action? Catch '22'
BY LORI RACKL TV Critic / firstname.lastname@example.com April 12, 2012 7:52PM
On "NYC 22," Chicago's Terry Kinney plays a cop training rookies including an ex-reporter (Adam Goldberg).
9 to 10 p.m. Sundays on WBBM-Channel 2
Updated: May 16, 2012 8:12AM
Six freshly minted police academy grads patrol the sometimes mean streets of upper Manhattan in CBS' new cop drama "NYC 22."
The series' original working title was "Rookies." Terry Kinney, who plays the newbies' field training officer, is glad that name didn't stick.
"It's a show that focuses on much more than the rookies," Kinney said. "It's a show about the relationship — both what works and what is uneasy — between a police precinct and a neighborhood in transition, which is Harlem."
Kinney, a central Illinois native who co-founded Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre Company in the mid-'70s, now calls New York home. (He misses Chicago. "My temperament is suited to that city.")
In "NYC 22," gentrification and gang violence are equal realities in the 22nd precinct that gives the series its name. Turns out the neighborhood is just as diverse as the show's half dozen rookies charged with protecting it.
We have Jayson "Jackpot" Toney (Harold House Moore), a young, black basketball star who blew it in the NBA. He's got his wandering eye on partner Jennifer "White House" Perry (Leelee Sobieski), a coldly efficient Marine MP who served in Iraq.
Tonya Sanchez (Judy Marte) is the feisty Latina who comes from a family with a criminal history.
Afghanistan-born Ahmad Khan (Tom Reed) is the butt of Taliban and kite runner jokes, and Kenny McLaren (Stark Sands) represents a long-standing Irish-American tradition as a fourth-generation cop.
Rounding out the rookie roster is Adam Goldberg as Ray "Lazarus" Harper, a heavy-drinking former newspaper reporter who now patrols the beat he covered before he got axed.
"NYC 22" reunites Goldberg with his good friend Kinney on the small screen. Both men played cops on "The Unusuals," a 2009 ABC series about dysfunctional New York City police officers.
That show was a dark comedy. What few laughs "NYC 22" has are subtle, although Kinney's performance as a seen-it-all-before, gum-chewing field training officer injects some welcome dry humor into the drama. His character begrudgingly goes by the nickname Yoda, a nod to his duties transforming new recruits into capable crime fighters.
"Here are my orders of the day," Daniel "Yoda" Dean tells a car full of rookies as he drops them off at their respective foot posts, like a carpool mom taking the kids to school. "Don't get hurt. Don't hurt anyone. Keep your mouth shut and your eyes open. In essence, just stand there."
Like kids, these rookies don't listen.
"NYC 22" is a character-driven police drama — something along the lines of TNT's "Southland." One crucial difference: "Southland's" characters are more compelling. Most of the rookies on "NYC 22" are shaping up to be types rather than nuanced personalities you grow to understand and care about.
From what little I've seen of "NYC 22's" seasoned cops (Kinney excluded), they're even more one-dimensional. They're like Mean Girls with guns; their primary job seems to be making the rookies feel unwelcome — and they go at it with a gusto that would indicate these guys love their job.
When it comes to most of the rookie characters and the plot, nothing in the pilot of "NYC 22" jumps out as being particularly original or interesting. It's not a bad show. But it's not a very good one, either — at least not yet.
These disappointments are all the more surprising when you look at the heavy-hitter names attached to the project. Robert De Niro executive produces the series, created and penned by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Richard Price ("The Color of Money").
Price's credits include writing several episodes of "The Wire," the HBO drama critically acclaimed for its realistic portrayal of urban life. To "NYC 22's" credit, that same "insider's look" comes through. We see gang bangers duking it out with walking canes and pipes instead of guns and knives because the latter come with serious weapons charges.
A plainclothes sergeant on the Gang Intel Unit describes his job as that of a "mobile scarecrow," constantly trying to keep rival gangs from going to war just long enough for them to forget their original beef and find a new enemy.
"It's called sweepin' leaves on a windy day," one cop explains.
"This is a pretty hyper-realistic, gritty depiction of everyday life as a cop," Kinney said. "It's not very pretty. The police dramas I've seen seem to have a lot of gloss on them."
It would be great if gloss were the only thing missing in "NYC 22." But its pitfalls result in a rookie series that doesn't warrant much attention in television's already crowded cop-show department.

Reading temperature sensors with Perl
Linux lets tinkerers connect their hardware creations to computers. We'll show you how you can use a simple Perl interface to check the temperature of your home or office while you're away.
It's not so long ago that users had to write their own device drivers to add hardware. But with the standardization of USB, and with fully-functional hot-plugging support in kernel 2.6, things have become far easier. The temperature sensor used in this article, a Dallas Semiconductor DS18S20 ([3]), can be controlled via the one-wire bus, which is driven by a USB dongle attached to the computer. The free owfs control software at [2] can request data via a Perl interface. Instead of one-wire, the bus should really be called two-wire, as two thin copper wires (typically in a single sheathing) connect the sensor to the USB dongle (see Figure 1). At the other end there is a western connector (RJ11), which plugs into the USB dongle.

By Mike Handley
Try telling Joe Dellaquila Jr. that Pennsylvania's relatively new three-point (on one side) antler minimum is a bad idea, and his eyes are going to fog.
The bowhunter from Ridgeway, Pa., has no problem with the restriction, especially now that a state-record 14-pointer is or soon will be hanging on his wall. He arrowed it on Nov. 2, 2010, in Elk County.
Having already put in a full day at his job, Joe was supposed to be doing some trim work on his home while the missus and their children were visiting relatives. But with the whitetail rut underway, he couldn't stand not to be in the woods.
"It was like the deer were calling me," he said.
Because it was 5:00 by the time he settled into his stand, Joe decided to make the most of the short time available by rattling. Shortly after his second sequence, this wide-racked bull of the woods strolled past at 20 yards, all fuzzed up and looking to rumble.
The quartering-away shot was at 32 yards, and the buck's only reaction was to fall over dead a few steps later.
Many people in that corner of Elk County had either seen or collected trail cam photographs of this deer. If not, like Joe, they'd heard and dreamt about it.
Ed Waite measured the buck less than a month after Joe broke the hearts of untold Elk County deer hunters. At 179 6/8 inches, it is Pennsylvania's No. 1 Semi-irregular by bow, and that tally doesn't even reflect the 22 1/8-inch inside spread, which gives the antlers a composite score of 201 7/8.
The full story of this incredible harvest will appear in the July issue of Rack magazine.
Antler Restrictions
I'm no fan of point- or spread-based restrictions. The best way to see more and bigger bucks is to limit the number hunters can shoot.
When Mississippi politicians passed a (minimum) forkhorn rule several years ago – against the recommendation of wildlife biologists – I thought it was the most wrongheaded deed imaginable. Enacted to protect one age-class of bucks, it actually fosters the killing of the herd's best 1 1/2-year-olds.
Pennsylvania's three-on-one-side rule isn't much better. It's still junk science.
However, what happened in Mississippi appears to be taking place in the Keystone State. While the rules themselves might not accomplish the goals upon which they're based, they succeed in forcing ethical hunters to count, which has helped change the way they think. Letting a 4- or 5-pointer continue on its merry way is the first step to allowing a small 4x4 to walk.
So, is the rule working?
As much as it pains me to say it, my vote is yes. And don't bother asking Joe to say ain't so.

Richard Ramirez, the infamous serial killer dubbed the Night Stalker has died from 'natural causes' whilst awaiting execution on death row.
Ricardo "Richard" Muñoz Ramirez was a complete and utter all round bad egg. The Texan psychopath was convicted of the brutal murders of thirteen people in 1989, following a lengthy trial, and sentenced to death. The vicious killer then spent the past 24 years languishing in the San Quentin State Prison where he even married a serial killer groupie in 1996, and completely avoided the gas chamber.
The Night Stalker's reign of terror began in 1984 with the killing 9-year old Mei Leung in southern California and continued until his capture in August 1985 by an angry mob. Ramirez was eventually linked to over 14 horrific murders and five attempted murders, plus a string of rapes and sordid buggery sex attacks. At some of the crime scenes Ramirez had scrawled crude pentagrams and also forced some of his victims to praise Satan, even during his trial he was infamously pictured with a five-pointed-star drawn on the palm of his hand. To many people the satanic Night Stalker was pure evil incarnate, to others a lanky, greasy Hispanic drop-out with serious mental problems.
Today officials from the San Quentin State Prison have confirmed that 53-year-old Ramirez was transported to Marin General Hospital where he died early this morning from natural causes. Some news outlets are speculating that it was liver failure which finally put an end to one of America's most bloodthirsty and notorious serial killers.

5 Foods You Gotta Eat to Grow
Pass on the plain chicken again. Here are the fab 5 foods you should eat every day for explosive muscle growth.
By Matthew Kadey, MS, RD
In bodybuilding, there are two main parts to the hypertrophy equation: training and eating. The former breaks down muscle while the latter supplies the necessary macronutrients, vitamins and minerals to build it back up again, and then some. Sure, eating a wide variety of healthy foods is the best way to ensure you give your body the nutrients it needs to grow, but a handful of edibles go above and beyond the call of duty with respect to helping you chisel out the physique you yearn for. Here's MuscleMag's shortlist of foods you should always have in your pantry or fridge.
Why you need it: Sometimes called black cod, the sablefish's buttery, pearly white meat is becoming increasingly popular. Ounce for ounce, its protein content is marginally lower than other bodybuilding-friendly fish such as salmon and halibut (sablefish contains about 26 grams of protein in a 6-ounce serving). But the best reason to reel in this slightly sweet-tasting swimmer is its soaring levels of omega-3 fatty acids — about 2.8 grams in a 6-ounce serving. Researchers from Gettysburg College (Pennsylvania) found that subjects who consumed high amounts of fish oil each day for six weeks shed bodyfat while simultaneously gaining muscle. This fish fat appears to reduce levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that can break down muscle and interfere with testosterone. Omega-3s may also rev up genes responsible for burning fat. What's more, a British Journal of Nutrition study reported that higher intakes of fish omegas can improve how efficiently exercising muscle uses oxygen, helping to delay the onset of muscular fatigue.
Extra credit: This protein-packed catch of the day is also rich in selenium, a potent antioxidant that may help reduce the oxidative muscular damage that occurs with hardcore training.
Eat up: For a simple and tasty way to prepare sablefish post-workout, season fillets with salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Bake at 375 degrees F until opaque throughout, about 15 minutes.

Infographics | Viewpoint
Visit the FETC Resource Center on THE Journal.
An infographic is a visual representation of information, and it can be a good tool for either formative or summative assessment for students. You can learn more about them by viewing an overview of the FETC12 presentation I made on my support page.
One of the important skills students need to acquire when creating an infographic is choosing the best way to showcase their data. It needs to accurately represent the content of the infographic as well as match the understanding level of the intended audience.
The best way to start teaching how to showcase data is to have students look at the many ways it can be visualized. One of the best sites for this is the Periodic Table of Visualization Methods. By passing the mouse over any of the "elements," the user is presented with a different way data can be presented.
Once students are comfortable with this, the next step is to provide them with a small data set (a CSV file is best) and let them use various tools to practice with the different ways their data can be showcased. Here are a few of those tools:
1) Chart Chooser provides a number of visualizations to pick from. It allows the viewer to download any visualization as an Excel file or PowerPoint template. Students then simply insert their data in the download file and the visualization is created. Have students repeat this process with their three top choices of chart types, so they have some samples for comparison.
2) The Many Eyes project, sponsored by IBM, allows registered users to upload a data set and pick the visualization type. Students can then download their visualizations to insert into their infographic.
3) Gapminder provides global data sets for students to view and manipulate. They also provide instructions for creation of a Gapminder-like graph using Google spreadsheets and the Motion Chart plug-in.
4) Infographics often use pictographs to represent data and, while appropriate for all ages, the creation of pictographs is well suited to the elementary-school level. It begins teaching the process of data visualization for younger students. The Oswego City School District (NY) includes some teacher-created materials for introducing pictographs. There is also an online tool to create pictographs located on this UK site as well as a pictograph game for younger students from SoftSchools.
5) Many teachers are also using Excel for creating pictographs. It is easy to replace the data in the series with images. Kathryn Gordon created a second-grade lesson plan that includes instructions on how to use Excel for making pictographs.
Data visualization is one of the most important aspects of the data literacy skill set. Collecting meaningful data is imperative, but presenting the data in an understandable format is just as important!

What Will Rise?
So, this morning, I happened to have the dubious pleasure of seeing the headlines on a USA Today. Something about how cutting defense spending will harm the economy. Well, obviously, we should just start another war and our economic outlook will get all rosy again. Obviously.
Seriously, I can't believe I have to write this post. But, here it is. We're in the middle of a 100+ degree heat wave. In early July. It started in June. June! Here's a radical notion: how about if we end the wars, all of them? Let's stop killing people now so that the rest of us don't die off in the near future. How about we go all FDR-economic-recovery-style and funnel all that inane defense spending into, oh, I don't know…windmills? High speed interstate and inter-community rail systems? Rooftop gardens? Retrofitting every house in the country with geothermal heating and cooling? If we could get our heads out of our…oil wells…we could actually save the entire globe rather than the money in the corporations' pockets.
Sarcasm aside, I'm angry. And terrified. We have the opportunity to do so much good. So we'll have to be uncomfortable for a while, so what? We're uncomfortable now and there's no guarantee anything is going to get better on its own. We've got this whole power/responsibility thing going on and we're going to burn like Rome.
Scratch that. We're already burning. The question is, what will rise from the ashes?

Wrought iron, gardens and relax in Europe
Gardens provide relaxing stops, allow vacationers to truly unwind
Take time to smell the tulips
By Rick Steves
I head to Europe every spring, ready to start afresh on a new season of travel. It's an exciting time, as I dive into exhausting days of non-stop guidebook research and travel-show filming. With age and wisdom, I've learned to take some of my own advice: on any trip, I slow down and smell the roses — or tulips.
I may not have the greenest thumb (and I've got the weeds to prove it), but wandering through a European garden is one of the better ways I've found to unwind and enjoy the world. Whether tucked into a little corner of a big city or decorating the grounds of an old aristocratic home, gardens soften the edges of life. Wherever you travel in Europe, there's bound to be a garden in bloom nearby when you need some (aroma) therapy.
In France's Loire Valley, Villandry is an average château, but its Renaissance gardens make the estate a show stopper. The original builder, a wealthy 16th-century finance minister, installed the famously formal gardens as an interlocking series of flower and vegetable beds. The eye-popping, geometric plantings are as manicured as a putting green — just try to find a weed. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Queen of Hearts pop out from behind the topiary in this wonderland.
On the other end of the valley is the Chenonceau château, France's first great pleasure palace. King Henry II built it for his mistress, Diane de Poitiers. The girlfriend immediately got to work, planting extensive flower and vegetable gardens. But when Henry died in a jousting accident, his wife, Catherine de Médicis, kicked Diane out. The queen let Diane's garden go to weeds and planted one of her own. Today, there's a "Diane" garden and a "Catherine" garden on the estate — each lovingly maintained and safely separate.
Sometimes a garden escape can be no more than a soothing glimpse. Some of London's residential squares are behind locked gates, but your eye is free to wander over these pretty, well-maintained gardens. In the tangle of Seville's Barrio Santa Cruz, flowers cascade along the wrought-iron latticework of whitewashed houses, providing a psychic refuge from the heat and bustle of the city.
But for a full-fledged urban break, nothing beats Luxembourg Garden in the middle of Paris — it's a colour-filled Impressionist painting brought to life. After a day of pounding the cobblestones, I like to stop off here and slip into one of the green chairs that ring the central fountain. I can admire the first flowers of spring, all the while watching Parisians being French.
When it comes to gardening, the British seem to forget all about their stiff upper lips.
The best of their gardens are an unabashed assault on the senses. My nose always thanks me for detouring to the fragrant gardens at Hidcote Manor, in England's Cotswolds area. Hidcote is where garden designers pioneered the idea of outdoor "rooms." Close your eyes and sniff your way through a clever series of small, sweet-smelling gardens. In springtime, clouds of wisteria and magnolias drift overhead.
For another take on traditional English gardening, seek out Sissinghurst Castle, near Dover. In the early 20th century, writer Vita Sackville-West transformed the grounds into the quintessential English "cottage" garden. There is always something blooming here, but the best show is in June, when the famous White Garden bursts with scented roses. When the sun is shining, Sissinghurst is perfect.
The granddaddy of the European bloom parade is Keukenhof. This 80-acre park, situated between Amsterdam and The Hague, has the greatest bulb-flower garden on earth. (Those without a car can ride the bus right to the park from Amsterdam, Haarlem or Leiden.) For two months in spring, Keukenhof's seven million tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils conspire to thrill even the most horticulturally challenged visitor. The place is packed with tour groups daily — go in the late afternoon for the fewest crowds and the best light on all those happy flowers.
Dedicated tulip-gazers don't have stop with Keukenhof. It's possible to rent a bike (available at Keukenhof for a reasonable €10/day, about $13.50) and head out into the surrounding Dutch landscape. Tooling along on two wheels among tulip fields is a special kind of bliss.
For me, a garden is a way of thinking about travel. If we are like seeds, the travel experience provides the dirt. The act of travelling plants us. And the people and experiences we encounter in our travels are like watering the garden. Combine the dirt, seeds, and water properly, and you get the blossom. Happy travels!

Wrought iron and Connecticut's Historic Gardens Day 2013
Connecticut history from the ground up
by Marisa Nadolny
Who says you can't reinvent history? Or, at least, replant it? On Sunday, June 23, the team behind Connecticut's Historic Gardens marks 10 years of doing just that with Connecticut's Historic Gardens Day at 14 historic locations throughout the state.
In 2002, a group of tenders of various historic sites in Connecticut pooled resources to get some visibility by participating in the Connecticut Flower and Garden Show in Hartford. Ten years later, the group continues its work to raise awareness of "distinctive historic sites and gardens within Connecticut's borders."
Locally, the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme, the New London Historical Society and Shaw Mansion and Harkness Memorial State Park in Waterford will participate and offer special events that illustrate the unique nature of their gardens.
And really, what's a historic house without a historic garden? These living installations provide additional context to the historical periods preserved in a given museum; or they simply offer a window into yet another historic period.
"In terms of Connecticut's Historic Gardens, we deem 'historic' to be gardens designed by a known designer or reflect an historical garden style or design philosophy," explains Tammi Flynn, a spokesperson for Connecticut's Historic Gardens. Historical relevance, though, doesn't necessarily exclude creative expression. "The gardens in New London County have great personality," Flynn notes.
At the Florence Griswold Museum, the resident beds reflect the eclectic style of Miss Florence herself, who was an avid gardener. None too formal, Miss Florence opted for a hodgepodge of plantings that offered splashes of color. Visitors to the museum can expect to see variations of hollyhocks, iris, foxglove, heliotrope, phlox, cranesbill and day lilies.
Admission to the gardens will be free on Connecticut's Historic Gardens Day, and painting supplies, refreshments and artist demonstrations will be made available to visitors.
Over at Harkness, park staff and volunteers will lead free tours of the gardens that surround the circa-1906 Roman Renaissance Revival-style mansion. The gardens reflect the work of Beatrix Farrand — one of the first noted female landscape architects in the United States — whom Edward and Mary Harkness commissioned to design their gardens from 1918 to 1929. Farrand's designs combine Asian statuary, wrought-iron fencing and benches with plants that reflect Mary Harkness' preferred colors.
Visitors who prefer to cover as much historical ground as possible might consider a stop at the New London Historical Society's Shaw Mansion.
"You get two time periods at a time at the Shaw Mansion — a formal Victorian garden in front of the house and a colonial garden in the rear of the house," Flynn says.
The colonial garden is a nod to the mansion's heritage; Capt. Nathaniel Shaw constructed the building in the 1750s. His great-grandson, Dr. Nathaniel Shaw Perkins, inherited the structure in 1845; the Victorian garden illustrates that transition.
And don't forget to take a look at the mansion's accompanying summerhouse, intriguingly referred to as a "gentleman's folly." This little getaway was constructed in 1792 and offers views of the Thames River.
A local croquet club will play a match and offer demonstrations at the mansion during Connecticut's Historic Gardens Day, alongside a plant sale. Refresh after the game with strawberry shortcake and lemonade.

New wrought iron baskets for the Bath Beautification Project
Bath Beautification Project supported by local Rotary Club
May 29, 2013 the Bath Rotary Club saw its Bath Beautification Project come to fruition when twenty-three new wrought iron, hanging baskets filled with colorful flowers were hung on the light poles along Liberty Street.
The floral arrangements and baskets were done by TNT Greenhouses in Bradford. In addition, those Rotarians who helped hang the baskets that day with the assistance of personnel from the Bath Village Department of Public Works planted flowers, provided by the Bath Beautification Trust Fund, in the barrels throughout the downtown area.
The local club sponsored two fundraisers to benefit this project. In April it held a Stearns' Chicken Barbeque, and at its 90th Anniversary Celebration Dinner in May the winners of its Big Bucks Raffle were announced.
Becky Stranges, Bath Rotary Club President, remarked, "Flowers say to residents and visitors that people care about the community. Betty Langendorfer has spent endless hours as the caretaker of the village beautification for many years. The previous baskets made the task rather difficult, and it was thus the general consensus of the Bath Beautification Committee to replace the wrap-around pole baskets with larger hanging baskets.
When the Bath Rotary Club heard about this need, it eagerly took on the project to adorn the light poles lining historic Liberty Street with new wrought iron, hanging baskets. We hope that everyone enjoys these new baskets full of colorful flowers." The Bath Rotary Club meets every Thursday at noon at the Bath Country Club.

Second Titatic to include replica of original wrought iron decorations from original ship
The plans for Titanic II have been unveiled, revealing there will be three classes, the same food menus, period costumes and identical interior decoration.
The man behind the adventurous project, mining tycoon Clive Palmer, revealed his plans for the boat at a press conference yesterday.
'Titanic was the ship of dreams, Titanic II is the ship where dreams come true,' he said.
Passengers can choose to stay in the lavish first class cabins or experience the Irish drums, stew and shared bathrooms of third class.
'That'll be where the most fun will be,' Palmer said at the conference.
'For me that's the great adventure. I can sit down there, have some Irish stew, talk to somebody and at night I can get up and do the Irish jig. It'll be a great place to be.'
Each passenger will also get a period costume relative to which class ticket they hold.
40,000 people have reportedly already registered for tickets to be on the maiden voyage, with Palmer saying people 'want something a little bit different, an experience.'
'We thought it would have a lot of appeal. We didn't know how much appeal, but certainly we've found it's had enormous appeal. And financially very strong as well … it's going to be a blockbuster.'
One of the top 100 richest men in the world, Australian Palmer will be funding the project himself, but declined to comment on how much it is estimated to cost.
Whilst the exterior and interior will match the original 1912 Titanic as closely as possible, there have been a few mod cons added such as a 400 seat theatre, a casino, air-conditioning throughout, and obviously some safety improvements.
The ship will have 18 modern lifeboats, with the capacity of carrying the ships 2,435 passengers and 900 crew members.
Markku Kanerva, the director of sales for marine design company Deltamarine, who are overseeing the project, told reporters at the press conference that Titanic II would be 'the most safe cruise ship when it is launched,' ironically mimicking the claims of an 'unsinkable ship.'
The vessel is due to set sale at the end of 2016, following the same route from Southampton to New York.
The project has raised criticism, being dubbed 'morbid' and disrespectful to the 1,523 people that were killed when the original ship sank in 1912.

"Double Indemnity's" Seven Oscar Nominations Helped Ignite the Film Noir Boom
While channel-surfing the other night, I found myself watching the beginning of a film I'd already seen and had no intention of seeing again. That's Fred MacMurray slumped at a desk in the film noir shadows of the headquarters of the Pacific All Risk Insurance Company. He's talking into a dictaphone, about to confess to his boss his part in a sordid tale of claim-rigging, murder, and betrayal. The room onscreen is so deep in the murk of its mood it seems to be glowering at me from the third dimension. Never mind that the man slowly bleeding to death is being played by one of my least favorite actors, he's sinking his teeth into the role of a lifetime, a mortally wounded insurance salesman named Walter Neff mouthing the hardboiled poetry of Raymond Chandler, with contributions by director Billy Wilder, from a novella by James M. Cain. That's all she wrote, I'm stuck, can't turn it off, can't stop watching, can't change the channel, Turner Classic Movies scores again.
As the scene shifts to a daylight flashback that shows Neff driving up to a nifty little Spanish colonial hillside chateau, I shout out, "It's Double Indemnity, Barbara Stanwyck's house in Los Felix!" and my wife, who grew up in L.A. and loves this movie, comes running.
The house is still there, though according to underthehollywoodsign.com, the reality is not in Los Felix but in the Hollywood Dell. "It was one of those California Spanish houses everyone was nuts about 10 or 15 years ago," Neff is telling us. The interior, according to the screenplay, is "Spanish craperoo in style" with a wrought-iron staircase curving down from the second floor.
And look who's coming down that unworthy staircase.
By now my wife's sitting in her usual place beside me to enjoy one of the seminal moments in film noir played to tawdry perfection by a woman we feel as close to as we would to a glamorous beloved relative who's been dead for 22 years. We're familiar with every nuance of her voice, with the way she walks, and moves, and we can imagine her having a laugh with the crew about that big blond wig she's wearing and the ankle bracelet or "anklet," as Walter Neff calls it, his eyes fastened on the ankle it's fastened to while he snidely fields sinister queries from the shady lady about her husband's life insurance policy. Call it what you will, the effect that little adornment has on Walter is devastating. Stanwyck's anklet is to Double Indemnity as Rosebud is to Citizen Kane, everything evolves from it, and Walter's a goner the moment he sees it, as is Stanwyck's about-to-be-double-indemnified husband.
According to Shadows of Suspense, the documentary accompanying the Universal Legacy Series 2-Disc DVD of Double Indemnity, when Fred MacMurray was offered the part, his are-you-kidding-me response was, "I'm a saxophone player. I do light comic stuff with Claudette Colbert." Barbara Stanwyck was afraid the film would ruin her career. The beauty of casting a "regular guy" like MacMurray was that audiences would be fascinated by the there's-a-killer-in-all-of-us aspect, and as a result the glib, regular-guy insurance agent Walter Neff has become one of the rare characters from vintage Hollywood whose name is as much a part of movie lore as the name of the star playing him. If the same can't be said for Phyllis Dietrichson, the name of the scheming wife, it's because Stanwyck's allure overwhelms the impersonation. MacMurray is a mere mortal transcending himself in a killer role. Stanwyck is a luminary from a loftier realm who in 1944 was said to be the highest paid woman in the United States.
Academy Awards 1944
Besides being the only film noir to come close to winning a Best Picture Oscar (it lost to the upbeat, feel-good, priests-can-be-charming box-office smash, Going My Way), Double Indemnity also fits the sub genre of the so-called "buddy movie" most recently represented by Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained. The affectionate rapport between Neff and his boss, Barton Keyes (Edward G. Robinson in his prime) creates a sympathetic contrast to the cold-blooded bond between the lovers. Whenever Keyes fumbles to find a light for his cigar, Neff is there to light it for him with a playful but caring "I love you too." Walter and Phyllis consummate the relationship by killing one another; but when Neff is dying in the hall outside the office where the story began, it's Keyes who lights his cigarette.
The various talking heads in Shadows of Suspense all agree that the Academy's recognition of Double Indemnity (seven Oscar nominations), along with its box office success, helped ignite the film noir boom that took place between the mid-1940s and the advent of CinemaScope ten years later. While the wartime American public "had lost its innocence and wanted more adult stories," according to film noir authority Eddie Muller, the Motion Picture Academy couldn't stoop to honoring so disreputable and nascent a genre with an actual Oscar. Probably the most deserving of the nominees, along with Wilder as Best Director, was the cinematographer John F. Seitz, who steeps scenes in lavish depths of darkness that are remarkable even for film noir. While Barbara Stanwyck was at least nominated for Best Actress (Ingrid Bergman won for Gaslight), MacMurray and Robinson did not even make the cut for the Best Actor and Supporting Actor Oscars, which went to Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald in the Going My Way landslide.
My only quibble with Shadows of Suspense is that it opens with Muller's declaration that film noir "for all intents and purposes began with Double Indemnity." This is a shaky generalization at best when you consider that Robert Siodmak's Phantom Lady was released eight months earlier in February 1944 and that Murder, My Sweet, Edward Dmytryk's adaptation of Chandler's Farewell, My Lovely and Fritz Lang's Woman in the Window also appeared the same year. As far as that goes, noir themes can be dated back to films like Stranger On the Third Floor (1940), I Wake Up Screaming and The Maltese Falcon (1941), Kid Glove Killer and This Gun for Hire (1942), to mention only a few.
Oscar Night
I'll come clean: we skipped the Oscars this year to watch David Hare's two-hour-long Page Eight on PBS because we liked the cast, especially Bill Nighy. While I'm all for one night every year being set aside to celebrate the movies, I have a low tolerance for all the glitzy scripted back and forth, the unbelievably tasteless jokes (like the cute one about the assassination of Lincoln), and I have a lifelong aversion to watching "beautiful people" embarrass themselves in public. If there were an over the counter drug that prevented cringing and squirming, I would need half a bottle to get through an hour of Oscar night. Argo was a worthy winner, but I doubt I'll ever see it again, except maybe to enjoy the great lines dished out by Alan Arkin and John Goodman, who also lent his inimitable presence to Flight. The fact that Goodman has never been nominated for an Oscar, particularly for the role that launched a thousand quotes, exposes an essential and enduring Academy blind spot. Fifty years from now somebody somewhere will be streaming The Big Lebowski and laughing at lines from Walter and Donny and the Dude they know by heart, but will anyone be visiting this year's big winners? I doubt it. The Dude abides and so does Barbara Stanwyck's anklet.
Born February 27
When you look at who was born on this date, you might be forgiven for thinking Oscar himself first saw the light on the 27th of February.
For instance there's William Demerest (1892-1983), one of the best character actors of his time, a man who performed pratfalls elaborate enough to convulse the comic gods. His one Oscar nomination was for Best Supporting Actor in 1947's The Jolson Story, but he's at his best in Preston Sturges films like The Miracle of Morgan's Creek. Another member of the 27 Club is Franchot Tone (1905-1968), who netted a Best Actor nomination in 1935 for Mutiny On the Bounty.
Perhaps the most unlikely nominee ever for a major award was tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon (born 2/27/23), whose rollercoaster career included jazz stardom, drug addiction, prison time, comeback as a dominant player, and then, five years before his death in 1990, being cast by Bernard Tavernier as the tenor legend in Round Midnight, for which Long Tall Dex landed a Best Actor nomination and a seat at the 1986 Oscar ceremonies.
One of two well-known writers with Hollywood credits born on this date, Irwin Shaw (1913-1984) was nominated as co-writer of the screenplay for Talk of the Town, but the single most prodigious generator of Oscar-winning product was John Steinbeck (1902-1968). Besides scoring nominations for writing Viva Zapata, A Medal for Benny, and Lifeboat, he produced a series of novels that Hollywood feasted on to a degree unmatched by his peers, the biggest winner being Grapes of Wrath, which took two Oscars out of seven nominations in 1940.
Of the three actresses born on February 27, four-time nominee Joanne Woodward (1930 —) won a Best Actress Oscar in 1957 for Three Faces of Eve. Joan Bennett (1910-1990) never won an Oscar, nor was she nominated, but any time you talk film noir, she comes into the conversation as a femme fatale in Fritz Lang's Woman in the Window (1944) and Scarlet Street (1945). Last but definitely not least, there's the two-time Best Actress winner James Agee greeted with a notice in The Nation she must have cherished from the age of 12 on. Writing in December of 1944, Agee admits, "Frankly, I doubt that I am qualified to arrive at any sensible assessment of Miss Elizabeth Taylor. Ever since I first saw the child, two or three years ago, in I forget what minor role in what movie, I have been choked with the peculiar sort of admiration I might have felt if we were both in the same grade of primary school." Later, after giving her performance in National Velvet a more objective analysis, he adds, "She strikes me, however, if I may resort to conservative statement, as being rapturously beautiful." Taylor, who died in March 2011 at 79, was nominated five times for Best Actress and won twice, for Butterfield 8 (1960) and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1966).
The two-disc Double Idemnity DVD is available at the Princeton Public Library.

World's tallest arch bridge being built in Dubai next month
Oh Dubai, you're such a crazy place. With more money than you know what to do with, you never stop trying to create the biggest and the craziest of every structure under the sun. The latest plan? To build the world's largest arch bridge.
The mile-long bridge will be 670 feet tall at its highest point, which is really, really tall. It'll have a whopping 12 lanes of traffic with a metro line running down the center and will be able to carry over 2,000 vehicles per hour. Costing $817 million to build, it's certainly not a cheap undertaking, but that hasn't stopped anyone in Dubai before. Construction is set to begin next month, and it'll be completed in 2012.

-Re: Question related to Number of Mapper
The larger question is how many blocks are required to store a 100MB file if the HDFS block size is 64MB.
If it takes 2 blocks then when you run your job, you will have 1 mapper per block, unless the file is not splittable. (But from your example its a simple text file which is splittable.)
Again, where are you getting these questions?

An iPhone 6 case we can believe in
Here at TUAW, we will usually pass on the emailed tips that come in from readers showing a Mr. Blurrycam rendition of purported next-generation iPhone or iPad parts. But when a case manufacturer we know and trust sends us a bunch of well-photographed images of an upcoming iPhone 6 case, we take notice and risk the wrath of our very own Chris Rawson, the Rumor Slayer.
Our source notes that he's making a new line of phone cases and that "my case guy sent me the latest batch of samples for final inspection and they included, to my surprise, an iPhone 6 'Phoneblet' case. I say 'phoneblet' because it's bigger, but not Samsung big."
The image at the top of this page shows a bamboo version of the wood case for iPhone 6 (left), an iPhone 5s (center), and a cherry wood case for an iPhone 5s for comparison. Other photos are included in the gallery below, with one section pixelated to conceal pricing information.
When the iPhone 6 is officially announced, we'll reveal the name of our source. Until that time, we're keeping the manufacturer name anonymous.

Softball: Lockport blanks Glenbard West

Lockport didn't have enough to break a twenty, but the Porters certainly weren't short on singles in dispatching Glenbard West 10-0 in six innings in Friday's quarterfinal at the Providence Softball Tournament.
Of their 16 hits, 14 were of the one-base advance variety. Carly Dundee and Brittany Bickelman each had three.
"Oh, it was good to come out like this after a tough loss against Minooka (9-8 on Wednesday)," Dundee said. "It was good to see everyone come out hitting. We kept the momentum going this whole game."
Even more refreshing for Dundee was firing a three-hit shutout in the wake of Wednesday's loss. The right-hander didn't allow a Hilltopper past second base.
"I think it was kind of like a mind-set coming into this game," Dundee said. "Last year we only won by three against Glenbard, so I had the mind-set that I had to keep confident in there.
"The Minooka game really was a rude awakening to the whole team. It definitely didn't feel good. But we came out strong on defense (Friday), and I came out strong (in the circle)."
It was more or less a base-by-base project for the Porters (4-1), who scored twice in the first inning, four times in the third and two more times each in the fifth and sixth.
The only extra-base hits were doubles by Sara Hillebold and Kelly Pattison. The final hit, a two-run single by Gabby Voulgaris, ended the game in the sixth with the 10-run rule.
The offense, in a word, was relentless.
"It's good to have that constant hitting," Dundee said. "If someone strikes out at the plate there is always someone picking you up from the bench. And our defense is definitely shaping up."
Glenbard West (2-3) had multiple baserunners just once, in the sixth when with one out Jacklyn Tyburk walked and went to second on a base hit by Maggie Stalker. Dundee grabbed Sarah Park's tap and forced Tyburk at third, then got Jackie Feliciano on a groundout to third baseman Voulgaris.
