The Art of Sport with Andre Reed
February 17, 2015 – A few weeks before I interviewed Buffalo Bills legend Thurman Thomas in Orchard Park, New York, I spent some time with his longtime teammate, Andre Reed, in Long Island.
I interviewed Reed at the Joe Namath March of Dimes Celebrity Golf Classic in September for one of three Art of Sport features that will be published in the Spring Issue of Yankees Magazine. The other Q&A pieces that will run in that issue are with Thomas and former quarterback Jim Kelly.
In my conversation with Reed, the newly inducted Pro Football Hall of Famer spoke about the thrill of finally getting into Canton — after nearly a decade-long wait.
"There's no doubt that the wait made it sweeter," Reed said. "Getting into the Hall of Fame was on my mind for a long time, and there was time when I wondered if it would ever happen. If it happened six or seven years ago, it wouldn't have been as great because I wouldn't have appreciated how difficult it is to get in. But most importantly, when you're a Hall of Famer, you're a Hall of Famer forever, so it doesn't matter how long it took for it to happen."
Reed also shared his thoughts with me on Kelly.
"He was the leader of our team," Reed said. "He was as tough as nails and the greatest competitor I've ever been around. We didn't always agree on everything, but we knew that we could always be honest with each other and that made us better. Without Jim, I would not be in the Hall of Fame. Off the field, I feel like I'm part of his family, and he's part of mine."

2014 New Era Pinstripe Bowl Official Game Program – ON SALE NOW
December 24, 2014 – The 2014 New Era Pinstripe Bowl will be played on December 28 at Yankees Stadium, and in my opinion, this year's game program is the best one yet.
If you're going to be at the game, you can pick up your copy at the Stadium. The official game program is also be available on www.yankees.com/publications and by calling (800) GO-YANKS.
Thanks to the tremendous efforts of managing editor Nathan Maciborski and the rest of the Yankees editorial staff, this publication if filled with all of the information fans could ever want about Penn State University's football program and Boston College's team. The official game program also includes features about the title sponsor of the bowl, college football at the old Yankee Stadium and the current Yankee Stadium and a few guys who played in the New York City's bowl game in recent years.
My favorite feature in the publication details some of the greatest games in college football history, which took place between teams that are now in the ACC and the Big 10 — the two conferences that are represented in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. As senior editor Jon Schwartz noted in the feature, many of the teams that participated in these games were not in their current-day conferences when these epic battles took place, but they are now.
In addition to scribing that story, Schwartz also put together a Q&A piece with the 2013 New Era Pinstripe Bowl MVP, Zack Martin. The offensive tackle from Notre Dame was picked in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, and he has been a standout from the first day of training camp.
A little closer to home, I traveled to the New York Giants practice facility in East Rutherford, New Jersey, for a conversation with Justin Pugh. The former Syracuse University left tackle played a big role in his team's victories in the Inaugural New Era Pinstripe Bowl in 2010 and in SU's win in the 2012 game.
In the interview, I asked Pugh, who has been the Giants' starting right tackle since he was selected in the first round of the 2013 NFL draft, about the thrill of playing in what was the first college bowl game in New York City in several decades.
"There definitely was pressure on us because we're New York's college team," Pugh said. "Also, [then Syracuse head coach] Coach Marrone is from the Bronx, and we really wanted to win it for him. When you're playing a team from Kansas in New York, you feel like you really have to represent New York. We felt like it was our duty to defend our home turf."
Pugh also discussed his team's 369-yard rushing performance in the 2012 game against West Virginia University.
"We had a running back who ran more than 200 yards and another one who ran for more than 150," Pugh said. "Playing that game in the snow and watching our fans throwing the snow into the air was a lot of fun. That will always be one of my favorite memories of playing football."
At the end of the interview, I asked Pugh a few questions about his first two seasons with Big Blue, and he spoke about the Giants' first win last season. As I wrote about in the 2014 New York Yankees Official Yearbook, Mariano Rivera took the field and served as the Giants' honorary captain for that game. (see previous blog entry below).
"Having the greatest closer of any era there to support us was a great motivation," Pugh said. "He's a calm, quiet guy who always went to the mound and got it done, and that was the kind of mentality that we needed that night."
I also wrote a long feature on the fascinating history and culture of New Era, a fourth-generation family-owned company that began in Western, New York, in 1920, has remained there ever since.
During the day I spent at New Era's headquarters in downtown Buffalo, New York, I interviewed owner and CEO Chris Koch, whose great grandfather founded the company nearly 100 years ago.
New Era has grown exponentially over the last few decades, and it's one of the largest sports apparel companies in the world today, producing more than 50 million hats a year.
What impressed me most during the time I spent with Koch and other executives, including president Peter Augustine, wasn't the magnitude of New Era's hat production or the creative designs, but instead, it was the way the atmosphere within the building.
Koch knows everyone who works in the four-story Buffalo office, and he is just about as concerned with maintaining New Era's family culture as he is with the growth of the company.
"As you grow bigger, you try to figure out how you can continue to have the culture of family and caring," Koch said from his third-floor office that overlooks the city on the banks of Lake Erie. "We're always striving to make sure that people here understand the history behind where we came from. Out of our 95 years, we've only been an international corporation for about the last 15. Our foundation is the family atmosphere, and it's vital to our success that we maintain that."
As far as moving New Era's hub to bigger city, the Buffalo native, who has worked for New Era since he was a teenager, wouldn't even dream of it.
"It's important to the city of Buffalo to have a global company headquartered in Buffalo," Koch said. "Our 15 satellite offices throughout the world help us understand the market in those regions, but we still have a sense of Western New York in everything we do. That's very important to me."
In New Era, the Yankees certainly have a classy partner.

Reflections of Derek Jeter — by Don Mattingly
November 14, 2014 – Earlier this month, I spoke with Yankees great Don Mattingly about Derek Jeter for a first-person vignette that will be published in the updated DJ Commemorative Edition (see blog entry below).
The interview took place at the New York Chapter of the ALS Association's Lou Gehrig Sports Awards Benefit in New York City. At the dinner, Mattingly spoke with me about a conversation that Jeter considers to be one of the most influential of his career. Mattingly also discussed the pride he feels in having his name on the list of former Yankees captains along with the likes of Jeter and Gehrig. Enjoy this special interview below.
–Alfred Santasiere III
I first met Derek when he was in the minors. He had a long way to go at that point, but I liked the way he went about his business. One morning during spring training, we were both coming off a back field together. I was running off the field, and I noticed that he wasn't. I quietly told him to always run onto and off the field because you never know who's watching you. At first, Derek thought I was referring to fans watching him, but I knew that Mr. Steinbrenner had his eyes on us.
Derek picked up his pace that day, and I never saw him walk onto or off the field again. He ran on and off the field before and after every practice and every inning of every game for the rest of his career. Over the years, I've also heard Derek talk about that conversation and explain that he took something out of it.
Derek was going to be a great player regardless of whether that conversation took place. But guys like Derek, who become great players, take the right things and make them their own. They take what they like so that it becomes part of who they are, and they get rid of the advice they're not comfortable with. Derek has done that so well over the years. He's had his own mindset, always knowing exactly who he wanted to be.
Derek was a great captain of the New York Yankees. Speaking from experience, I can say that when you're named captain, you never really understand how much it means. Derek really grew into that role over time, and he gained an understanding of the meaning and the honor of that position. To share that distinction with Derek is special to me. He represented the captaincy of the New York Yankees as well as anyone could have.
Reflections of Derek Jeter — by Dan Marino
November 14, 2014 – While I'm extremely proud of the Derek Jeter Commemorative Edition of Yankees Magazine, I feel that it can be an even more comprehensive publication.
The original version of the DJ Commemorative came out on the first day of Derek Jeter's final homestand, and in my opinion, it was a masterpiece. However, based on the timing of its publication date, it did not include my feature on Jeter's final home game or executive editor Ken Derry's story on the last game of Jeter's career.
In an effort to include everything we missed from last season, along with a few first-person vignettes that we have collected since the season ended and which we will gather over the next few months, we will be releasing an updated Derek Jeter Commemorative Edition of Yankees Magazine on Opening Day of the 2015 season. All of the content that was in the original version will be in the updated version.
The first interview that I conducted for one of the new vignettes was with Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino. In my conversation with the Hall of Fame quarterback, which took place at Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza in Livingston, New Jersey, the Hall of Fame quarterback spoke about his friendship with Jeter, and he also shared his thoughts on the shortstop's final game at Yankee Stadium.
Although we're several months away from printing the updated DJ Commemorative, you can read Marino's words below.
–Alfred Santasiere III
Great players relish the opportunity to have the game in their hands. Continually succeeding in those situations makes you better because you've proven to yourself that you can come through when it matters most. Derek has come through in those spots more than anyone I can remember. No one can come through in the clutch all the time, but the great ones do it consistently, and that was what Derek did.
Of all of Derek's late-game heroics, the one that stands out the most to me was his game-winning hit in his last game at Yankee Stadium. It's hard to describe the range of emotions he must have been feeling that night. Baseball was his love. It was what he grew up playing, and it's what he did until he was 40 years old. For someone who is such an important part of a team to know that you're not going to be there any longer is difficult to deal with. But with all of those feelings, Derek still came through at the end, and that was amazing. We all wished for an ending like that because it was perfect.
The Art of Sport with Thurman Thomas
November 4, 2014 – A few weeks ago, I traveled to Buffalo, New York to spend a day at the New Era corporate headquarters for a feature story on the company in the 2014 New Era Pinstripe Bowl Official Game Program (which I will detail on this blog in a few weeks).
While I was in Buffalo, I also met up with Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas at Ralph Wilson Stadium for an Art of Sport interview. The Q&A piece with the former Bills great will be published in the Spring Issue of Yankees Magazine, along with interviews with fellow Bills heroes Jim Kelly (see previous blog entry) and Andre Reed.
After interviewing Kelly on the 50-yard line of the Bills home stadium a year ago, I asked Thomas to sit down with me in the end-zone. Since the former running back scored 88 touchdowns in his 13-year NFL career, I was thrilled that he was on board with such an appropriate location.
Thomas arrived at the stadium in the late afternoon, wearing a Yankees sweatshirt and a Bills hat. Upon meeting him, he was quick to point out his allegiance to the Yankees.
Before the interview began, Thomas asked me to guess who his all-time favorite Yankees player is. Based on his first name, I guessed the late great Thurman Munson, and I was correct.
"When I was 11 years old, I heard his name for the first time," Thomas said. "Other than me and my father, I had never heard that name before. That got me interested in watching him play, and I followed him for years. I remember when he was named captain of the Yankees, and I really admired the way he led those guys and kept those teams together.
"Of course, I still remember the day he died in the plane crash, and I still relive that in my head. Derek Jeter has been my favorite Yankee over the last few decades but no-one will ever be as special as Thurman to me."
In the interview, I asked Thomas several questions about his career with the Bills including one about leading the NFL in yards from scrimmage a record four years in a row.
"I will always remember that record because it was a record that Jim Brown held," Thomas said. "That's special. Not only are you talking about a guy who played the running back position, but when you mention his name, you're talking about one of the all-time greats at any position."
I also asked Thomas what his favorite memory of playing at Ralph Wilson Stadium [formally named Rich Stadium] is, and he spoke about the Bills' 1990 AFC Championship Game victory. In that game, the Bills defeated the Los Angeles Raiders and earned their first of four consecutive Super Bowl berths.
"The atmosphere in this place was amazing that day," Thomas said. "It was joyful. I've never seen a group of fans as happy as our fans were that day. I remember looking into the stands in the fourth quarter and seeing people crying and hugging each other. Until that day, Buffalo was known for two things: snow and O.J. Simpson. When we won that game, this city became known for having a team that was going to the Super Bowl, and all of the excitement that you could imagine was rolled into this stadium."
At the end of the interview, I asked Thomas to discuss his friendship with Kelly and the time he spent with him during the former quarterback's most recent battle with cancer.
"I've known for a long time how tough Jim is," Thomas said. "I've seen him get knocked out, go into the locker room and come back onto this field. He battled cancer the same freaking way. He took it one day at a time and kept battling. I'm so proud of him, and seeing how close he and his family are, made me closer to my family."

October Issue of Yankees Magazine – ON SALE, OCTOBER 20
October 14, 2014 – The October Issue of Yankees Magazine will be on sale on Monday, October 20.

Additionally, executive editor Ken Derry penned a beautifully-written feature on Jeter's final game. Derry's description of the sunny afternoon in Fenway Park is one of the greatest stories you will ever read on the captain.

Lastly, I wrote a feature on The Clemente Museum, which was previously published in the 2014 Edition of Yankees Magazine en Español.

A Look Inside The Clemente Museum
October 14, 2014 – Last September, I traveled to Pittsburgh to visit a hidden gem and to write about it.
My feature on The Clemente Museum in the October Issue of Yankees Magazine will take you behind the scenes of a 118-year-old firehouse turned shrine.
The museum, dedicated to the life and career of Roberto Clemente, was founded by Duane Rieder (below).
Rieder, a Pittsburgh photographer who grew up about 120 miles outside of the Steel City, has been an admirer of Clemente since he was a young child.
Long before the great Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder died in a 1972 plane crash while attempting to deliver relief supplies from his native Puerto Rico to Nicaragua in the wake of a devastating earthquake, he was revered throughout Latin American and in the United States.
In the city where the baseball pioneer made his most profound contributions to the game — collecting 3,000 hits and helping the Pirates win two championships — stands a temple that he would be proud of.
Among the hundreds of unique photos of Clemente in the museum is a portrait taken in 1960. In that photo (below), Clemente is jumping up to catch a baseball. A cloud formation that resembles angel's wings sits perfectly on the outfielder's shoulders.
"I think it's the best sports photograph ever taken," Rieder said during my day-long tour last year. "The angel's wings symbolize who Clemente was. He did so much charitable work. He spent every free moment helping the poor and doing other good deeds. He really was an angel."
Several other rare items including letters written by Clemente to Pirates' brass, benches that once sat in the home dugout of Forbes Field and 17 of Clemente's official military documents are also in the museum.
Clemente's world Series rings — from the 1960 and 1971 seasons — along with two of his Gold Glove Awards and several of his bats and jerseys, are as eye catching as the beautiful photographs on the walls.
There are hundreds of other authentic pieces of memorabilia in the museum, and having visited this unique place, I encourage my fellow baseball fans to do the same.

The Art of Sport with Mike Ditka
October 14, 2014 – On a balmy day during Spring Training, I traveled to Naples, Florida, to meet former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka for an exclusive interview.
During the afternoon I spent with Ditka, I interviewed the Pro Football Hall of Famer for an Art of Sport Q&A feature that will appear in the October Issue of Yankees Magazine.
Ditka and I spoke about several topics including his famed 1985 Chicago Bears squad, a team that captured the imagination of the Windy City and the rest of the country with it's dominance of the rest of the league.
"We had a lot of characters that had a lot of character," said Ditka who led that team to a 15-1 record en route to a Super Bowl championship. "We had great leadership on our football team. On the defensive side of the ball we had Mike Singletary and Gary Fencik. On offense, Jim McMahon was a renegade, and he liked to defy authority a little bit, but he was a great leader and a great competitor. I knew my players had a lot of parties and liked to have a good time on and off the field, but everything was done in moderation."
Of course, no conversation about the '85 Bears would be complete without the inclusion of the famed Super Bowl Shuffle video.
"[The players] came to me in the middle of the season and told me that they had a chance to make a music video," Ditka said. "I asked them when they would be shooting it, and they told me that it was going to be on an off-day. As long as it didn't' interfere with our schedule, I was OK with it. I never thought about it again until I saw the video. By that time, a lot of people were saying how arrogant and egotistical the video was. Maybe it was. But if you don't think you're going to win, you will never win. If you don't think you're the best, you will never be the best. It's too bad I wasn't in the video because I would have stolen the show."
Before we wrapped up our lunch meeting, I asked Ditka to share his thoughts on Derek Jeter.
"He's a credit to the game," Ditka said. "He's the epitome of what you want an athlete to be. I've never seen him do anything but go out and try to win baseball games. There are guys who are more talented, but I don't think anyone has played the game harder than Derek. Derek reminds me of Walter Payton and Michael Jordan. They had the same drive, and they never became satisfied."
My complete interview with Ditka, along with an Art of Sport Q&A with the aforementioned Jim McMahon, will be in the October Issue of Yankees Magazine.

Lasting Tribute to Derek Jeter at Fenway Park
October 14, 2014 – On the day after Derek Jeter's final game, my wife, Tiana, our son, Alfred, and a few of my Yankees colleagues returned to Fenway Park for a tour.
On the sunny Fall day, we visited several areas of the ballpark, including the seats on top of the famed Green Monster. While we were admiring the view of the field from atop the Monster, I noticed that someone had paid tribute to the Yankees captain during his final game.
On the sign for Section 2, the words "Jeter Last Game, 28th Sept. 2014, Green Monster" were written. Like the other hand-written notes on the Monster, I can only imagine that these words will be there for a long time.
Before we left the Green Monster seats, Yankees team photographer James Petrozzello snapped a photo of the sign, and that image will be published in the On Deck Circle section of the October Issue of Yankees Magazine.
–Alfred Santasiere III
Memories for a Lifetime
October 14, 2014 – Two days after Derek Jeter's emotional send-off at Yankee Stadium, I traveled with my family to Boston for the final game of the captain's career.
In my "From the Press Box" column in the October Issue of Yankees Magazine, I share my experiences from that special weekend with my wife, Tiana, and our son, Alfred.
Below is an excerpt from that column about what was a most unforgettable and enjoyable time.
–Alfred Santasiere III
On the eve of Jeter's last game, [my family and I] strolled into a popular family-style Italian restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for dinner. When we arrived at East Side Bar & Grille, Harold Medeiros, a middle-aged host with a strong Boston accent, greeted us. Upon asking us where we were from, Medeiros promptly revealed his baseball allegiance.
"I've lived here my whole life," Medeiros said. "But from the first time I saw Mickey Mantle play, I was a Yankee fan. The Yankees have had great players since Mantle's days, but no one could ever match his grace or power."
After we got to our table, Medeiros stopped by to tell us that he would be at Fenway Park the next day to see Jeter wrap up his storied career.
"I wouldn't miss that for the world," Medeiros said. "He's a hero, one of the greatest players who will ever live, and certainly one of the best Yankees of all time. But, in my heart, no-one will ever be as special as The Mick."
As I sat next to my 6-year-old son, Alfred, on a picture-perfect afternoon at Fenway Park and watched with him as Jeter walked to the plate for the final time and collected his 3,465th and final hit, I thought about Medeiros' words about Mantle.
More than ever, I realized how powerful and long lasting an impression an athlete can have on a young fan. On a day that was filled with mixed emotions, I left the ballpark filled with happiness. That joy came from knowing that my son's favorite player had left the same indelible mark on his heart that Mantle left with the millions of youngsters who watched him play a half-century ago. I also left Fenway Park with pride, knowing that Alfred's baseball hero is not only a legend on the field, but a perfect role model off the field and someone who made my young boy feel as if he was the most important person in the world each time he met him.
Thank you, Derek Jeter, for 20 years of great play and for inspiring your fans forever.

This question already has an answer here:

- Sanitizing HTML input 4 answers
I want to provide an HTML editor on my site, but don't want to open myself up to xss or other attacks that come with allowing user-generated HTML.
This is pretty similar to what Stack Overflow does. How is the HTML checked/sanitized here so that the styling information still remains, while other, more dangerous stuff (like javascript, iframes, etc.) are kept out?
Are there any libraries (preferably in PHP) that already do this?

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 12/18/12
Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy has been cleared to return to game action, according to a Philadelphia Inquirer report. "There's a chance he ends up playing for us this week," coach Andy Reid said during his radio show on WIP-AM. "We'll see how it goes with the practices this week. He practiced (Monday) and did well." If McCoy plays, he'll be used with rookie running back Bryce Brown, as the team uses these two games to determine what they have going forward. "With Bryce, I just feel he needs to play," Reid told reporters. "He didn't get a lot of college experience so he's catching up. he's catching up at the highest level of football you can catch up at. But I think when it's all said and done you're going to have a good, solid running back."

Extracting Mummy DNA
Egypt's mummies are among the best preserved of all ancient remains, but even in them the recovery of DNA -- the genetic fingerprint of every individual -- is insidiously difficult. Molecular biologist Scott Woodward of Brigham Young University may know this better than anyone; he and his lab recovered the DNA from hundreds of Egyptian mummies, from commoners to pharaohs.
Dr. Woodward's genetic work on the pharaohs of the 18th Dynasty (which includes the legendary King Tutankhamun), while not yet complete, has helped to verify the ancient written genealogies that define how the pharaohs were related to one another. "The DNA analysis looks consistent with them being connected in the ways that we thought they were, with, for example, brother-sister marriages among members of the royal line," Dr. Woodward says.
Some of the very best preserved of Egypt's ancient royalty were the kings of the 18th Dynasty. But that does not necessarily make studying their DNA easy. As in any analysis of ancient DNA, the specter of contamination with modern DNA looms large. If so much as a single cell from a lab worker gets into a sample being analyzed, the results will be worthless. "We try to address the problem head on, first by being very careful about where we get tissue samples from the mummies," Dr. Woodward says. "In the case of the common people, we are very picky about that. We go to a piece of tissue or bone that we know is very unlikely to have been contaminated by modern sources -- from a tooth, for example, or the inside of a bone." That's not so easy when it comes to the zealously guarded remains of the pharaohs. "We can't go into where we want on the body, but have to rely on parts that have already fallen off the body. Since they are far from the ideal samples that we'd like, we take two or three and compare the sequence that we get from each to be sure that it is the same."
Once tissue samples are recovered, they are taken back to Dr. Woodward's lab, where the DNA is extracted under carefully controlled conditions. Any previously isolated DNA samples are removed from the lab, for instance, and the final sequences are compared to all other DNA patterns that have been deciphered in the lab. "They have to be unique, and to make sense within the expected genealogical structure," Dr. Woodward says.
The DNA of any organism will quickly begin to degrade after death. Exposure to environmental conditions like moisture, sunlight, and air, will speed the process. The Egyptian mummies were uniquely preserved, and protected from much of that assault, which increases the likelihood of recovering DNA from their tissue. But at best, the fragments are small, and don't hold enough information to describe a single gene. To make the most of what can be found, Dr. Woodward and other experts probe the extracts with particular probes that home in on information-rich bits of ancient DNA. "We pick areas of DNA that have the maximum amount of variability among individuals. The sequences of those areas will be similar among related individuals, but not shared among the general population," says Dr. Woodward. Finally, a technique called polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, is used to produce millions of copies of the DNA fragments so their sequence can easily be read.
In a living human, the entire procedure could be accomplished in just one day. But in mummies, Dr. Woodward says, "you could reasonably expect months, because you have to be able to replicate the results in separate samples, tested independently. It is really very difficult and time-consuming." For that reason, Dr. Woodward and many other researchers are suspicious of the results of most ancient DNA studies. "If someone gets an ancient sample, goes through and gets amazing results in six days or two weeks even through it's the only ancient tissue they've ever done, I would be very wary of the results," he says.

The study of neuronal specialisation in different cognitive and perceptual domains is important for our understanding of the human brain, its typical and atypical development, and the evolutionary precursors of cognition. Central to this understanding is the issue of numerical representation, and the question of whether numbers are represented in an abstract fashion. Here we discuss and challenge the claim that numerical representation is abstract. We discuss the principles of cortical organisation with special reference to number and also discuss methodological and theoretical limitations that apply to numerical cognition and also to the field of cognitive neuroscience in general. We argue that numerical representation is primarily non-abstract and is supported by different neuronal Populations residing in the parietal cortex.

Netscape previews Aurora

Communicator in 3 new flavorsAugust 25, 1997
Navigator split from CommunicatorAugust 18, 1997
That's the same aim of the Active Desktop elements of Microsoft's Internet Explorer 4.0 browser, slated to be released tomorrow at the same Seybold Seminars show where Netscape previewed Aurora today.
Netscape said Aurora would be available as a free component of the Netscape Communicator browser, which will be available in the first half of 1998. It is positioning Aurora as an alternative to unify users? desktops without upgrading to Windows 98 next year.
"We can save you the hassle of installing Active Desktop," said Netscape's Mike Homer, executive vice president of sales and marketing. "Since we expect to include Aurora as a free component in every Communicator in the future, anybody who doesn't want to be forced to upgrade to Windows 98 won't have to.
"Microsoft has thrown the desktop up for grabs, trying to force users to do costly upgrades," Homer added. "We think we can get them by doing something that's free."
Separately, Netscape announced an expansion of its "Netscape Everywhere" initiative to get its browser widely distributed, which involves adding more than 20 publishers that will include CD versions of Navigator in more than 23 million books and magazines around the world.
In today's demo, Netscape showed Aurora as a vertical strip on the right-hand side of a computer screen where users can organize their data from different formats into one area.
Aurora will take advantage of an emerging standard for metadata (information about how content is organized) called Resource Description Framework (RDF), which provides a single mechanism for organizing, describing, and navigating information on Web sites. RDF is built on XML (eXtensible Mark-up Language), the next-generation Web layout language.
Earlier this month, Netscape said it is working with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to standardize RDF and has named more than 40 content providers planning to deploy RDF on their Internet sites. The W3C effort builds on a specification called Meta Content Framework (MCF), which was first introduced by Apple Computer in September 1996.
Homer bridled at a question on whether Microsoft would, as it claims, grab 50 percent of the Web browser market with its new IE 4.0.
"Microsoft makes a growth market out of forward predictions in markets where they are behind," Homer said. "Microsoft has nothing to lose from being so far behind and saying it's going to get better."
Since Microsoft?s go into the browser market in August 1995, Homer said, Netscape's browser market share has shrunk from 80 to 72 percent.
"I think we will gain share," he predicted.

So delicious. Using sweetened coconut is key in this recipe as it adds just enough sweetness when combined with the fruit to offset the sour cream. The longer this sits, the better it gets.......if you can let it sit long enough.
I can't believe this is reviewed as 5 stars! This is my first review and it is because I want to save people from wasting their time with this terrible recipe. My mother tried to make this and our family decided that she must have read the recipe wrong--much to our disappointment, we realized it was really that bad! Don't waste your time...find a new fruit salad recipe!!
25 Ratings
This is a wonderful salad. I grew up with this salad on holidays. Mom called it her 24 hr. salad. The only thing she did different is add a can of fruit cocktail to the mix. I did not like sour cream, I never knew it was in there til I was older, lol. Also, there was never any leftovers.
My mom has made this same recipe for years and it is a family favorite! Very easy to make and since it must be made ahead, it is great to take places.
I read the one negative review and knew immediately a few finer points were needed when putting this recipe together. First, if you do not have 24 hours to let your salad sit over night in the refrigerator than don't make the salad. Be sure to drain your canned fruit well. I also use much less sour cream than is called for, in fact, I use just enough sour cream to coat all the ingredients, cover, then chil overnight! Love it!
I've used this recipe for years, passed to me from my mother. I add nuts to mine. The key to this recipe, though, is letting it sit overnight in the fridge. The flavors blend together, and the marshmallow softens...yummy! This will be on my Thanksgiving table.
Oh. My. Goodness. My mom has made this for years, however, our 5 cup salad actually has six cups...the five listed above in addition to 1 CUP OF CHOPPED PECANS. H-E-A-V-E-N-L-Y. It's the only thing that could improve the above recipe. BE SURE YOUR FRUIT IS DRAINED REALLY WELL!
Just like my mom would make every Christmas and thanksgiving. A hit with our family

Yogi Berra to have statue in front of his museum
LITTLE FALLS, N.J. Yogi Berra took a quick look at the rendition of what will be the statue placed in front of his museum before commenting on it.
On the poster, a muscular Berra kneels on one knee in the on-deck circle gazing upward while holding two bats. The planned statue is the latest highlight for the colorful New York Yankees Hall of Famer, who won 10 World Series titles as a player and three MVP awards.
"It looks great," the 85-year-old Berra said Monday after the statue rendition was unveiled at the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center. "I didn't know I looked that good."
While many pictures were considered as the guide for the bronze statue, museum director Dave Kaplan said the rendition came from a 1950s Sports Illustrated photo.
Sculptor Brian Hanlon said the pose combines Berra's talent on the field, his spiritual presence in the locker room and his impeccable behavior off the field.
"His neck and his hands are just ripped," said Hanlon, who said it would take him 6-to-8 months to sculpt the statue in clay before it is sent to a foundry to be bronzed. The cost will be between $100,000-to-$125,000.
"He's a baseball warrior," Hanlon said. "I think as Michelangelo was great at doing this, creating energy and stillness, and would be my goal here, creating energy in this reflective piece."
Berra admitted there are really only a couple of statues he likes. There is one of Mickey Mantle in Oklahoma and another of Stan Musial.
"I just hope this looks like them," Berra quipped.
Carmen Berra, Yogi's wife of 61 years, said that she visited the museum on a class trip about a week ago with her granddaughter, Alexandra. The 5-year-old wanted to know what the circle was outside the museum.
When told 'that's where they are putting Grandpa,' the child reacted quickly.
"You mean we have to come here to see Grandpa," Carmen Berra recalled Alexandra saying.
Yogi spent most of his time on Monday talking about his favorite topic - baseball.
"I liked to play," Berra said. "I loved to play the game and I liked to watch the games, too. My wife gets mad at me sometimes because I am taking away her programs. I have to get her a new TV."
Berra said he remains on very good terms with Yankees owner George Steinbrenner.
"He has done a heck of a job. It's a beautiful stadium, everything."
On his beloved Yankees, Berra said it was exciting watching this past weekend's Subway Series with the Mets.
"We had chances," Berra said, not hiding his allegiance. "We just didn't hit at the right time. They scored all their runs yesterday with two outs and we had men on first and third with no outs and didn't score. In the last inning, we got to within 6-4 and with a base hit you never know what could have happened."
Berra said injuries have limited the Yankees in recent weeks.
"I think if we can just hang on till everyone gets back, we'll be all right," he said.

Composer Alexander Goehr at Duke
Alexander Goehr, the eminent British composer, visited Duke's Music Department on April 7, 2014.
Following a lively lunch with Composition and Musicology students, Goehr spoke publicly about his music in a discussion moderated by Professor Philip Rupprecht. As well as sharing personal impressions of the 1950s Darmstadt Summer Courses in New Music--at which he gained early professional performances—Goehr spoke (among other topics) of his own rhythmic language as a composer, and his attitude to setting texts; he also introduced his 2011 orchestral piece, When Adam Fell (in a recording by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Oliver Knussen).

Goehr's Duke visit was planned in conjunction with his week-long residency at UNC Chapel Hill at the invitation of Professor Stefan Litwin, who organized a Goehr portrait concert at UNC's Person Recital Hall on 9 April. Among the performers, in the composer's presence, were Duke Ph.D. candidate in Musicology, Katharina Uhde (violin), performing in the Largo Siciliano (2012) with Litwin (piano) and Saar Berger (horn). The program also included Goehr's Quintet, "Five Objects Darkly" (1996), selections from his Songs from the Japanese; the Kafka settings The Law of the Quadrille (performed by Professor Louise Toppin, soprano); and the solo-clarinet Paraphrase on the Dramatic Madrigal "Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda" by Claudio Monteverdi (1969), by visiting artist Ib Hausmann.

by Bruce Gerencser cross posted from his blog The Life and Times of Bruce GerencserThe Fundamentalist/Evangelical Christian church has many gods. While they will profess to worship the true and living God, the God of the Bible, often their true object of worship is human and not divine. Most Fundamentalist/Evangelical Christian churches have a congregational form of church government. Some churches have adopted an elder rule form of government. Regardless of what form of government a church adopts, there can be no doubt about who really runs the church.

Elliot preached and preached. I wept and wept openly. I could not sing. I could not so much as close my eyes in prayer. I could not stand for the blessing at the end of the service. I knew that no matter how much Elliot preached those words to everyone else in the congregation, they were not for me. And I would email him and tell him as much. Without response. … [Read more...]

by Libby Anne cross posted from her blog Love, Joy, FeminismIf you read my blog, you're probably aware of the Christian homeschooling subculture's patriarchy problem.

Let's say you had a museum. A baseball museum. And in it, you'd have a special place reserved for only the game's greatest players. A "hall of fame," if you will. Who would you put in it? The guy with the most hits? The guy with the most homers? How about the guy with the most Cy Young awards?
Baseball's happy to make sweeping changes without a blink.
Balance the leagues? Sure, let's toss the Astros into the American League!
Think we might need a replay? Sure! Let's make every call reviewable!
Enjoy postseason drama? Great! Let's play a do-or-die game before the playoffs start!
So how come it's so hard to change the way players get into the Hall of Fame?
The system is broken. No one can argue otherwise. We're caught on this endless loop of finger-wagging and high-and-mighty morality lessons about who's worthy and who's not.
Since the day Bart Giamatti banned Pete Rose, the Hall of Fame system's been broken. No matter what else the guy did, he got more hits than anyone in the history of the game. Barry Bonds hit more homers. Roger Clemens won more Cy Youngs. Do I want any of those guys at my backyard barbecue? No. They're jerks. But in baseball, getting more hits, hitting more homers and winning more Cy Youngs than anyone else means you get into the Hall of Fame.
Today it was revealed that the writer who gave away his Hall of Fame vote is Dan LeBatard of ESPN and the Miami Herald. He did it for all sorts of reasons, some of which make sense. Murray Chass, who used to be rational, also made the wrong kind of news this year for his ballot.
So can we please change the way Hall of Famers are selected? It's clear that this bunch – the BBWAA – is incapable. Changing it's gotta be at least as easy as adding another level of playoffs.
When I saw the title, I thought you were going to rail against the voter(s) that didn't complete the ballot. Like, it's "Not That Difficult" to complete a ballot. I got all excited. But this is equally as satisfying.

Game of Thrones
Game of Thrones Season 5 Spoilers: What Happens to Jaime?
When we last saw Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) on Game of Thrones Season 4, he was releasing his brother Tyrion from prison. Tyrion then of course went on to kill his father, who happened to be running the kingdom, before he escaped.
We have a feeling there will be repercussions for this, so will Jaime find himself in hot water in Season 5? A combo of book and show spoilers give us an idea of what to expect from this fan fave.
Warning! This article contains spoilers from the A Song of Ice and Fire book series. Click away now if you don't want to know!
In the books, no one suspects Jaime of any wrongdoing. Since Varys disappears the same time Tyrion does, he is incriminated, but Jaime gets away scot-free.
Also, at this point in the story in the books, Jaime and Cersei's relationship is over because Tyrion had told Jaime that Cersei has been unfaithful, but the two are still an item on the show. We're fairly certain their relationship ends next season, we're just not sure how it happens. Does Jaime find out about Cersei's infidelity some other way? Does Cersei find out Jaime released Tyrion? Does Jaime just finally realize that Cersei's an awful person? There are a lot of directions the show could go with this, but we don't see Cersei and Jaime together by the end of Season 5.
As far as what Jaime actually does next season, the books don't give us much to work with. Jaime goes to the Riverlands to snuff out the last bit of war being raged by the Tullys, and that's it. There's little going on, and it looks like the show is inventing more things for Jaime to do. Based on set photos, we know that Jaime heads to Dorne with Bronn, serving as our introduction to that region and its characters. This is a storyline that doesn't even come close to happening in the books, so we're excited to see how it plays out.
How do you think Jaime's story will play out in Season 5? Let us know in the comments below!

See catalogue number 27441 for the paperback edition. Shortly before he died, Plenty Coups, the last great Chief of the Crow Nation, told his story - up to a certain point. "When the buffalo went away the hearts of my people fell to the ground," he said, "and they could not lift them up again. After this nothing happened." It is precisely this point - that of a people faced with the end of their way of life - that prompts the philosophical and ethical inquiry pursued in "Radical Hope". In Jonathan Lear's view, Plenty Coups' story raises a profound ethical question that transcends his time and challenges us all: how should one face the possibility that one's culture might collapse? This is a vulnerability that affects us all - insofar as we are all inhabitants of a civilisation, and civilisations are themselves vulnerable to historical forces. How should we live with this vulnerability? Can we make any sense of facing up to such a challenge courageously? Using the available anthropology and history of the Indian tribes during their confinement to reservations, and drawing on philosophy and psychoanalytic theory, Lear explores the story of the Crow Nation at an impasse as it bears upon these questions - and these questions as they bear upon our own place in the world. His book is a deeply revealing, and deeply moving, philosophical inquiry into a peculiar vulnerability that goes to the heart of the human condition.
