Curling my expectations
October 24, 2013
To many, curling is an obscure sport. To most it is unfamiliar. The world catches a short glimpse of the game every four years during the winter Olympics. But it is rarely discussed otherwise.
Lisa Schoeneberg was the skip of the U.S. national curling team in the 1990s. She called the shots on the ice. She told the sweepers when to scrub and when to let the stone glide. She was, at the same time, a captain, a coach and a player — the most experienced and knowledgeable member of the team.
Schoeneberg competed in the Nagano Winter Olympics in 1998. She won silver medals at the 1992 and 1996 World Curling Championships. It is unlikely that you'll recognize her name. I didn't when I met her on Saturday at the Madison Curling Club.
I had gone to Madison to visit an old friend who had just moved back to Wisconsin. He said he had recently realized that watching Netflix and drinking whisky didn't exactly qualify as a hobby. He wanted to try something new.
A flier for a curling team at work caught his eye.
Curling was different from anything else he had considered doing. It was something completely foreign.
I had always thought of curling like I had thought of ribbon twirling at the summer Olympics — a sport that didn't belong among so many others that seemed to require more strength and agility; more athleticism.
But I said I'd go with him — it might be a laugh.
The Madison Curling Club holds an open house on Saturday mornings. Anyone can come in and give curling a try for free, but there is an optional $5 donation. Club members, some of them expert curlers, volunteer to show people around and teach the basics.
We walked in around 10 a.m. A friendly volunteer named Doug led us to a lounge area to watch a film about curling history. A woman took our shoes and prepped them for the ice — grass, dirt and rocks can ruin the ice surface, and must be cleaned off.
Curling is very old. The sport has its roots in medieval Scotland, where records are said to contain descriptions of the game dating back to the early 16th century.
Players in ancient times slid river stones across frozen ponds and had little to no control over the ultimate resting place of their throws. They competed against each other by trying to glide their stones closest to a designated area across the ice.
Scots still refer to it as "the roaring game" because of the noise each stone makes while it glides over the ice.
Today the game is defined by its subtlety. Players glide across the ice in positions that require incredible muscle control, extreme flexibility and absolute concentration.
Coordination and balance are required.
The game is played with two teams, each composed of four members.
The point of the game is to glide each round, granite stone across the ice so that it rests closest to the "button," or the center pin of three concentric circles at the opposite end. The scoring is similar to bocci ball.
Each team member throws two stones per "end" which is like an inning in baseball. There are 10 ends in each curling game. Throws alternate between teams.
We took the ice, armed with a specially designed curling broom – what you see players scrubbing the ice with ahead of each stone – and a "slider." Sliders are teflon covers that fit over your shoe to create less friction on the ice. Every player wears one sliding and one non-sliding shoe.
But the ice has surprisingly good traction. Little droplets of water are sprayed onto the ice by a specialist who works at the club – kind of like a greenskeeper at a golf course. He designs the ice to have a certain amount of texture or "pebble," which affects the curve of each throw and plays into each team's strategy during a game. But there isn't a standard pebble – the ice varies depending on the club's preferences.
We walked onto the ice and tried to get our curling legs. It was difficult. Much more difficult than we expected. After Doug did a few demonstrations, showing us proper throwing technique, another member joined us and started coaching our form. It was Schoeneberg, and she knew what she was talking about.
Doug gave us a chance to throw. A woman in our group, also a novice, volunteered first. She tried to imitate Doug's form, lost her balance and fell. My friend did the same.
When it was my turn, I was reasonably confident. I have been a skier my whole life and am very comfortable sliding around in no-friction situations. I was a decent athlete in high school. I played football and rugby. I golf and play pick-up basketball games. I write about sports for a living and have always felt confident that I had a certain degree of athleticism. But I was not prepared for curling.
I imitated Doug's form. I listened to Schoeneberg's corrections. I put my right foot on the rubber starting block and slid my left foot – my gliding foot – behind the stone. I rocked forward and back to get some momentum going and pushed off.
Though I didn't fall, I wobbled and struggled to keep my balance. I stretched muscles in my legs and sides I had never used before, and though very comfortable in sports that I had previously thought required more strength, agility and athleticism, in curling, I was completely inept.
But the very small victory of not falling on my first try was apparently enough to mildly impress the Olympic athlete who had joined our ranks. "Has he done this before?" she asked my friend while I twisted and grunted on the ice wishing I had tightened my belt a little before pushing off. I had exposed a little more of my backside than I intended.
I got to my feet and looked across the ice to the club members who glided effortlessly with perfect form and understood why it belonged among speed-skating, skiing, bobsledding and the like.
These curlers were athletes. They could determine precisely where a 40-pound granite stone would come to rest based on their own delivery speed and the degree at which they gently rotate the handle upon release.
They balanced explosive power and gentle skill. The best curlers practiced hard for years to refine their form, their technique, and their muscle tone. Wins were earned. Experience was revered. These were athletes.
And I wasn't one of them – at least not yet. Janesville has the nearest curling club to Lake Geneva. I might stop in and give the sport another try. Curling might not look very impressive on TV, but down on the ice it's a battle. Doug called it "Chess on ice."
Though I used to mock it, curling has my respect. And so do its players.

So I have this string: "ID:300,Order:1,Number:30.99,Other:null}". I'm using c#.
I would like to use a regex to hide the "30.99" from the Number "parameter", and replace it with * for security reasons, but I i'm still new with regex and can't figure it out.
The "Number" can be any decimal form 0 to 999999999.......
The final result would be "ID:300,Order:1,Number:*,Other:null}"
Somebody can help me on this one?

mars upial, Data Puss
Out now, self-released
Whoever is responsible for mars upial keeps a low profile: Other than a Bandcamp page, which doesn't list any names aside from the designer of the album art, there's no trace of the group (or, perhaps more accurately, the producer) on the Internet. The anonymity is worth mentioning because Data Puss--a four-song, instrumental electronic EP--is startlingly solid, falling into the nebulous realm of IDM and sounding overall like a less abstract Four Tet. The EP's title track is a good indicator of the record as a whole, pairing a glitchy beat with thick smears of synthesizer and constantly shifting textures. It's unclear who's behind mars upial, but let's hope whoever it is keeps it up.
Listen to Data Puss (and download it for free from mars upial's Bandcamp) after the jump.

Hosting Rep. Paul Ryan on the Today show this week, Matt Lauer asked the Republican vice presidential candidate whether he would concede that some of the statements he made in his convention speech in Tampa last week "were not completely accurate."
Specifically, Lauer pressed Ryan on his controversial assertion suggesting president Obama was responsible for the closing of a General Motors plant in Janesville, WI., when in fact GM made the plant-closing announcement in June 2008, while President Bush was still in office. (The plant halted its production of SUVs in December 2008; also while Bush was in office.)
Ryan's easily debunked attack on Obama has put the candidate on the defensive. It's also sparked a debate within the media about fact-checking and how to cover candidates who campaign while aggressively removed from the truth.
And yet despite the GM controversy, and through the endless debunking, Ryan has remained loyal to the issue, even tweeting about the plant closing this week:
Questioned by Lauer about the controversy, Ryan's told him to go "read the speech," and then mounted this defense [emphasis added]
RYAN: What I was saying is, the president ought to be held to account for his broken promises. After our plant was shut down, he said that he would lead an effort to retool plants like the Janesville plant to get people back to work. It's still idle; people are still not working there.
But that's not what Ryan said in his speech last week.
In Tampa, Ryan quoted candidate Obama speaking at the auto plant on February 13, 2008, months before it was shut down. Then on Today, Ryan told Lauer he had referenced comments Obama made "after our plant was shut down." [emphasis added]
Hammered for dishonest comments he made in his convention speech about the closing of a GM plant, Ryan went on national television this week and compounded that dishonesty by revising what he said in his convention speech.
How is the press supposed to cover a post-truth politician like that? And should they trust Ryan's assertions in the future?

Friend, Foe, or Pakistan?
The nation's role in Afghanistan is getting more and more baffling as the war goes on.
(During the 1975 negotiations ending the Vietnam War, a member of the U.S. delegation, Col. Harry Summers, told his North Vietnamese counterpart, Col. Nguyen Don Tu, "You know, you never beat us on the battlefield." Tu replied, "That may be so, but it is also irrelevant.")
So what is really going on here? What signals are the Americans and Pakistanis sending each other with these statements that say little and, in any case, nothing new?
The significance of Mullen's statement is that he has been the U.S. military's emissary to Pakistan and has spent endless hours with the heads of the ISI and the Pakistani military. For him to state publicly what everyone has long known and winked at—that there is a link between the ISI and Haqqani—is enough to raise eyebrows. He's saying, on the eve of his retirement, that he's finished playing games and that his successor won't likely resume them.
Then Mullen threw the cards on the table. If Pakistan continues to support Haqqani and other terrorist organizations, he said, it could face U.S. sanctions. This is something that the Pakistani military, which receives $2 billion a year in U.S. security assistance, genuinely fears. Successive American presidents have continued this aid, despite knowing that some of the money goes to support militants, because they also know that if the aid is cut off, the support for militants may well intensify. Now Mullen seems to be saying the kabuki theater is over. Attacking the U.S. embassy was the proverbial bridge-too-far, and the Pakistanis have to pick a side—to cut the cord to militants or face the consequences.
It's a risky gambit. The ISI and Haqqani have always been tight; some specialists believe the Haqqani network is the ISI, or at least the wing of ISI protecting its interests inside Afghanistan. And from Pakistan's point of view, those interests are vital.
To a degree that, even now, many Americans underestimate, Pakistanis believe their main threat comes not from the Taliban, or even al-Qaida, but rather from India. Most of their army is geared to fight a war with India (either on the eastern border or over rival claims to Kashmir). Meanwhile, India has its own growing presence in Afghanistan, a presence that Pakistanis regard as "encirclement." So whatever happens in Afghanistan, Pakistanis want some control, and their agent for ensuring that is the Haqqani network.
In 2010, the ISI arrested more than 20 Taliban leaders, a feat that garnered much praise. But as Dexter Filkins then reported in the New York Times, it did so because all those Taliban leaders were trying to negotiate a separate peace. It wasn't so much the "peace" that bothered the ISI; it was the "separate," the attempt to make a deal without them.
This war within the war, and the moves and countermoves enveloping both, are intensifying in part because the United States is in the process of pulling out—and all sides are positioning themselves for what they foresee as the ensuing chaos. This may be part of why the Haqqani network is splintering into factions, and why the ISI and the Pakistani government are reassessing all options (if, in fact, these entities really are doing any of those things).
The question is whether the United States has the wherewithal and the diplomatic chops to make something of the cataclysm, to exert some leverage in the cracks, and—finally—to force some serious regional negotiations. The road to a settlement in Afghanistan runs through Pakistan, but that same road takes some Alpine curves through India. And it would be useful, in this process, to bring in neighboring powers for reinforcements and security guarantees—which is one reason, among many, why Iran's current state of hostile chaos is so unfortunate.
Everything is connected. The problem, all around, is that so many of the globe's linkage points are embroiled in so many crises. Entropy may be the defining characteristic of the early 21st century. If so, Afghanistan ranks among the least of our worries.

CCSO announces encore-worthy season

An America Idol, an original Beatlemania cast member, a Tony Award nominee and a piano-playing magician. This may not be your typical orchestral line-up, but its just a small sampling of the talent preparing to take the stage with the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra this season.
The variety of artists and presentations is really incredible, said Artistic Director and Conductor Jung-Ho Pak.
The season opens with a feast for not only the ears but the eyes as well. A highlight of the September performances will be Alexander Scriabins Prometheus: Poem of Fire. Scriabin wanted to create a symphony of light and sound, but unfortunately had no way to accurately depict his vision during his lifetime. Enter musicologist Anna Gawboy and well-known lighting designer Justin Townsend.
Scriabin was known to envision a relationship between sound and light, said Pak. Our performance, with the help of Anna and Justin, will attempt to come closer to his original intent than ever before.
Septembers concert also features the return of the dynamic pianist Adam Neiman, performing his own piece, Visions. The charming and humorous Voices from the Gallery, about famous artwork will also be performed and narrated by Erica Horn.
Tony Kishman, the star of the Paul McCartney tribute Concert in October, is an original Beatlemania cast member and also a returning guest to the CCSO.
You havent heard songs like Eleanor Rigby or Live and Let Die until youve heard them played with the powerful sound of live horns and vibrant strings on the same stage, said Pak. Its truly an amazing experience.
The CCSO concert experience isnt limited to whats on stage. This season the aim is to continue to make a visit to a Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra concert much more interactive, said Pak.
Before each Classics concert, guests can learn more about the music and composers from Dr. John Clark. Learn why the performance of Pictures of an Exhibition by Modest Moussorgsky is so unique (September), gain insight into Neapolitan folk songs (November) and discover what a passacaglia is (April).
New features such as the Talk Back series where guest artists, conductors and anyone else associated with the performance will stay on stage after the concert and answer audience questions allow for another avenue of access. The popular guest artist luncheons and events prior to concert day will also continue allowing music enthusiasts to have an intimate conversation with not only Jung-Ho Pak, but the guest artists as well.
We are transforming classical music from a conservative and traditional experience to something that is much more uplifting, powerful and can often be a transforming experience, said Pak.
Live music is very powerful, he continued. Regardless of what you have at home to plug into, IPods, IPads or what have you, nothing comes close to the exhilaration of seeing someone doing something incredible right before your eyes.
The 2012-2013 CCSO season boasts an assortment of local talent as well. The much anticipated holiday concert on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 and 2 features American Idol alum Siobhan Magnus, the Bart Weisman Klezmer Swing Group, and the Chatham and Falmouth chorales all from the shores of Cape Cod.
We are so blessed to have so much talent in this community. Pak said. Its really important for us to incorporate these local stars into our programming as well as introducing our audiences to guest artists from across the world.
Another highlight of this season is that CCSO guests will get the opportunity to see Associate Conductor Joan Landry take charge of the orchestra with the fun and nostalgic Oh What a Night concert in February. Broadway stars Ron Bohmer, Bradley Dean and Tony nominee Joshua Henry will bring back the days of bellbottoms and beehives with the fantastic songs by 60s greats like Elvis Presley and Stevie Wonder.
Joan does an amazing job with our young musicians conducting the Youth Orchestra, and our education concerts, said Pak. This year we want to give our audience the opportunity to get to know her as well.
The extraordinary talent of the CCSO musicians will be highlighted at the April concerts. Heather Goodchild Wade and Laura Manko, along with their colleagues, will perform the world premier of a special arrangement of Handels Passacaglia for Violin and Viola.
The pinnacle of the Cape Cod Symphonys 51st season will be the culmination of the year-long Soloist competition. Pak is searching New England to name the next big classical star. Three finalists will perform with the orchestra during its final concerts in May. Audience voting will determine who takes home the title of The Soloist.
We think this is the perfect way to end a very inventive season, said Pak. I am fairly certain that the stories and performances of the three remaining finalists in May will inspire and excite the audience. Without a doubt, the winner will earn their first 2,000 or so fans after performing with the CCSO.

People Who Made My 2012Kacy Faulconer
Let's be honest. 2012 was a rough year. Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc, the election got ugly, and Sandy Hook was a nightmare. It's not hard to dwell on the worst. But we belong to a unique cadre of humans: We're parents. We don't have time to sulk.
Raising kids is, essentially, an act of faith—an exercise in hopefulness. Parents are marked by an enduring optimism that let's us see bright sides and silver linings. And while 2012 was hard, it had its moments. I got flash-mobbed on my birthday. My son got his learner's permit. My little girl learned to read. All in all, not too shabby.
And there were plenty of folks who served as bright spots throughout the year. Take a look at the people who made my 20121.
Gabby Douglas: Remember how awesome and inspiring the Olympics were this year! Seriously, who can forget that adorable Gabby Douglas was the first African American gymnast to win a gold medal in the individual all-around event. She was a joy to watch in her shimmering Swarovski crystal-studded leotard. As a matter of fact my daughter did sign up to take gymnastics this year.
Will & Kate: We found out they're expecting a baby! Bless their beautiful, royal hearts. And because of constitutional changes to remove male preference in succession rules, Will and Kate's wee one can succeed to the throne whether it's a boy or a girl. This is a coup for royal fans, baby lovers and feminists everywhere. Tell your sons, tell your daughters—This is happy news.
Stephen Colbert: What can I say, he makes my year every year. But the role he plays? (Is it satire? Is it hyerbole? Is it earnest commentary on the state of affairs in contemporary American politics? No one knows.) I think everyone learned about Super PACS from Stephen Colbert this year. Thanks, man.
Chris Christie: The New Jersey governor worked shoulder to shoulder with President Obama in a genuinely bipartisan show of support for victims of Hurricane Sandy. I thought that was super cool.
Taylor Swift: She's talented, beautiful, and successful. But on top of all that, this year she's the youngest person to ever receive the Ripple of Hope Award from the Robert F. Kennedy Center for her charity work. The 23-year-old also donated $4 million to the Country Hall of Fame Museum. Plus, I love it when she sticks it to John Mayer.
Bobak Ferdowsi: Also known as the NASA mohawk guy, he simultaneously teared up and looked cool when NASA's Curiosity rover landed safely on Mars. And just like that, renewed interest in the space program skyrocketed. Of course we want to be astronauts when we grow up! What else is there?
Peter Jackson: There will always be naysayers, but Peter Jackson takes beloved books and makes beloved movies out of them. My kids have seen all of the Lord of the Rings movies and we just watched The Hobbit together. Thanks, Peter Jackson, for giving my family something to talk about and love and watch together.
Amy Poehler and Tina Fey: They're great and their shows, 30 Rock and Parks and Recreation, have been the funniest stuff on TV for years. They've each got 2 kids and they're making it work. I can't wait to see them co host the Golden Globes in January. Good for them.
Michelle Obama: She's a mom, she's an activist, she's a wife, she's a First Lady, she's an all-around class act.
My Family: Because without them, what's the point?
Who did I leave out? Who inspired/impressed/cheered you up this year?
