Alan Schwarz [1] (Baseball America, ESPN, the New York Times) is one of the most prolific and respected baseball journalists working today. After more than a dozen years in the industry Schwarz has written his first book [2], The Numbers Game: Baseballís Lifelong Fascination with Statistics [3]. I was fortunate enough to catch up with Alan several weeks ago in midtown Manhattan to talk about the book. The following conversation took place on a warm June evening in Bryant Park, directly behind the main branch of the New York Public Library on 42nd street.
Bronx Banter: First things first, when did you start becoming a baseball fan?
Alan Schwarz: I came to being a baseball fan extraordinarily late. I was born in July of 1968. When Thurman Munson died in 1979 I didn't know who he was. That makes a lot of people gasp of course. I lived in London as a kid. When I was eight, nine and ten years old and returned in the summer of '79. I was never a baseball fan before that. It was must have been late August of '79–I bought my first pack of Topps [4] baseball cards. They made me want to watch the games. Friends I made after returning from London were fans, so they showed me their baseball card collections and we watched games together and played catch. Next thing you know I was playing Little League and a baseball fan was born. But I was eleven, which was pretty late. What that has afforded me frankly is it means that I'm not overly nostalgic about the '77-'78 Yankees, which is a good thing, Bronx Banter's audience notwithstanding. Also, I'm really a child of the free agent era. So I do not resent the fact that players have rights — I don't resent the fact that they even go on strike. I understand that's built into the game, it's built into the industry and work stoppages will happen every five or six years, and we'll get over it and move on. It's just the way it is.
BB: Are your parents American?
AS: Oh yeah, it's just that my father traveled. He was assigned to London for three years and we said what the heck. We're from New York, from Westchester County.
BB: As a kid were you more into playing baseball or studying it and getting into the numbers?
AS: Playing

Update: After listening to the interview, it appears Mark Richt was joking about the scenario that led to the Boise State game. He did offer this more-serious analysis of why Georgia took the game.
"I think we needed to play somebody that would get our attention, would get the fan base's attention and even the college football world's attention," Richt said. "We certainly fell short of what we were hoping for a year ago. We declined in our record. I think we declined in how people perceived our program, and a game like that can jump-start you and that's what we are trying to do."
Georgia will look across the field in its opener and sees quarterback Kellen Moore leading Boise State. That wasn't what the Bulldogs had in mind when it scheduled the game with the Broncos.
Speaking on WCNN in Atlanta, Georgia coach Mark Richt revealed that the game set for the Georgia Dome in Atlanta was initially agreed to with the belief that Moore was going to be out of eligibility.
"(The athletic director) came to me with that and he was like, 'Well, that quarterback's a senior and he's leaving.' I really didn't look at it. I knew that he had been there a long enough time that he was probably on the way out. After we signed on the dotted line, then I went and looked at the depth chart and realized he was still there. Then I was hoping he would turn pro early and he didn't do that."
That mistake means the Bulldogs will now open with the No. 7 team in the USA TODAY preseason poll before hosting 12th-ranked South Carolina in Week 2.
That's quite a challenging start for Richt to navigate in a season where his job is likely on the line after the team went 6-7 last year.
"I just think overall we've got to play harder and faster. I think we've got to be able to make plays in the fourth quarter. Those are the two main things for me. As I look back, did we play fast enough every single down? I don't think we did. Did we finish like we should in the fourth quarter? Did we make the plays in the fourth quarter that needed to be made? … We didn't do that. … Individually, everybody's just got to get better and better and better as they go."

Before this year, motor sport ranked well down my list of favourites. Above cage fighting and cockroach racing, but little else. Certainly well below the big five of cricket, footy, tennis, soccer and netball.
Why? Team orders - the systematic, long-held practice of favouring one driver over the other. There is just something incredibly unsporting about determining an outcome before a race has been run. In some sports it's called match-fixing.
Late Sunday nights in the office can be pretty lonely. For years staff battled to stay awake as in Europe and elsewhere Michael Schumacher ''won'' grands prix, Rubens Barrichello dutifully finished second and Mark Webber was somewhere around eighth.
All that changed this year when Webber and his Red Bull teammate, Sebastian Vettel, suddenly had the best cars. Even better, they decided there was no room for silly ideas such as there being no ''I'' in team.
Drivers were racing for the formula one championship.
Of course, that racing panned out better for Vettel than it did for Webber, but there's no doubting the Australian kept Vettel and F1 championship runner-up Fernando Alonso honest. Imagine that, ''honest'' and ''F1'', in the same sentence.
It wasn't just Webber's racing that was refreshing. He rarely declined an interview and always said what he thought. ''Not bad for a No.2 driver'' was the line after he won in Britain.
Webber led the championship after six races. Only then did the level of the rivalry between the teammates become apparent. In race seven in Turkey, he and Vettel collided before Webber finished third and called the race a ''f---ing disaster''. No spin there.
By the time of the Japanese race, Webber had extended his lead. Then in Korea, disaster struck again and he and Vettel both crashed out, opening the door for Alonso and seriously undermining Webber's hopes.
A Vettel-Webber one-two in the penultimate GP in Brazil set up an enthralling finale.
I had never watched GP qualifying before the last event in Abu Dhabi. But that Saturday night in mid-November, I had to - I was working. While furiously taking notes so I could update the paper's story on the practice rounds to include qualifying, I willed Webber around the track - even as his hopes sank at 300km/h.
At 1.25am - by now it was Sunday - Vettel had qualified fastest, and Webber fifth. He couldn't win the race from there, especially with Vettel and Alonso in front of him, could he?
No, he couldn't win on the Sunday. But F1 had a new champion and, even if Vettel was a little hard to like, the racing was easy to love. As was Webber's graciousness.
''Seb only led the championship for one race this season, and it was the last one,'' Webber said. ''Seb and I had some pretty good battles throughout the year but he's put his nose ahead at the end. You have to take your hat off to him.''
You have to take your hat off to Webber, too. As he pointed out: ''I'd won two races before this year and I won four this year. It's still been an incredible year for me.''
So thank you, Mark Webber, for making formula one worth watching. And for calling it like it is.

It is laughable how upset Congress, civil liberty groups and media pundits are over the recent news that companies like Verizon and Google are giving the National Security Agency access to Americans' email and cellphone data.
Almost all these companies outsource information technology functions to firms in countries like India. I assume other countries' intelligence agencies have already infiltrated and gained access to this sensitive date via these outsourced jobs by American companies.

Just like the front doors to our homes, our city's front doors help to sell our community. With this in mind, I recently announced an initiative designed to make our city more attractive to economic investment. It's called Front Door Fort Wayne: A Plan to Enhance Our City's Gateways and it is a comprehensive strategy for improving the appearance, efficiency and economic potential of the major points of entry into our city.
Some have asked what a gateway is and why it's so important. A gateway is defined as a landmark or single structure, a district or geographic area or a major corridor leading into Fort Wayne. Those points of entry could be interstate interchanges, major thoroughfares, significant access routes and entrances to downtown.
Our entire community benefits from the improvement of our gateways. We call it the economics of the first impression; and it can mean all the difference to businesses making decisions about where to invest and create jobs. This new strategy — crafted with the input of business, neighborhood and community leaders — highlights ways we can put our best foot forward, fostering pride and promoting growth.
The planning process was launched in 2010 when I appointed the Front Door Fort Wayne Advisory Committee, a diverse group of 14 community volunteers. Working with city planners, members sought community input, identified key entry points and ways to enhance them, and prioritized project ideas and policies.
The group also developed long- and short-term recommendations to improve the function and aesthetics of gateway entrances and corridors into the city and downtown. Project recommendations include improved directional signage to major attractions; interchange or lighting enhancements; public art; roadway design to better accommodate bicyclists, pedestrians, transit users and automobiles; and aesthetic improvements that celebrate and promote the community.
An important plan element is the "Wayfinding Program", a comprehensive system of well-designed signs to help visitors and residents navigate the community with ease.
Key transportation corridors that will be addressed are Ardmore Avenue, Airport Expressway, Jefferson Boulevard, US 27 (Lafayette and South Clinton Street), Washington Boulevard, Maysville Road/Stellhorn Road/Crescent Avenue, Coliseum Boulevard, Coldwater Road and North Clinton Street, Lima Road and Dupont Road.
Because Fort Wayne's front doors are vital to our economic future the City of Fort Wayne is dedicating nearly $420,000 to this initiative from the nearly $8.5 million in taxes withheld in error by the State of Indiana and recently returned to the City of Fort Wayne. I am also challenging area businesses other community entities to partner with the City in bringing these gateways to life. To learn more about these partnering opportunities contact Pam Holocher at 427-1127.
Speaking of gateways, as many of you know, we recently hosted a dedication and lighting ceremony for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Bridge – a spectacular gateway into downtown. More than 1,500 residents joined me and Dr. Derek King, Sr. – the nephew of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. – at the June 4 event, were uplifted by the Voices of Unity choir and joined us in a unity walk across the bridge. If not, please take a moment stop by and see it. Or go online to see photos of the event, at www.cityoffortwayne.org/MLKBridge.
On a final note, I am inviting city high school students to get involved in their community and learn more about city government by applying to join the Mayor's Youth Engagement Council. The deadline to apply is June 22. Applications are available at www.cityoffortwayne.org/myec, and may be faxed to (260) 427-1115 or mailed to Mayor's Office, 200 E. Berry St., Fort Wayne, IN 46802.

Did you know?
There are Kagyu Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Centres in Cape Town, Pretoria, Johannesburg, Randburg, Grahamstown and Harare in Zimbabwe.
Although the Tara Ropka Centre in the Groot Marico district in the North West province is essentially a Buddhist retreat, the venue is a multipurpose facility for emotional, spiritual, social and environmental healing. Positioned on 280ha of wooded valley with rolling hills and streams, the unpolluted air and spectacular night skies are the perfect environment for meditation and focusing the mind.
This Buddhist retreat was set up under the guidance of a meditation master of the Tibetan Karma Kagyu School, Akong Tulku Rinpoche, who has established a number of similar centres in Africa and abroad. A well-known local spiritual teacher, Rob Nairn, runs a number of annual retreats here.
The activities at this North West retreat offers therapy events; spiritual development under which dharma and meditation retreats are run and led by local and international teachers; environmental care, with emphasis on a permaculture project growing organic food and medicinal plants; and humanitarian aid and development, with support to the local community through training, employment and the running of a crèche.
Tara Rokpa therapy is a unique system of psychotherapy or healing for the mind, based on a fusion of ancient Eastern wisdom with modern psychotherapy. Teachers at the centre are adept at translating ancient Eastern concepts into terms other people can understand and apply. The retreat's website details programmes that focus on maturing the mind, encourage compassion and facilitate mindfulness.
When not in use for specific courses, individual travellers, families and groups are welcome to use Tara Rokpa as an accommodation base. The centre accommodates 60 people in a variety of old farmhouses, cottages and camping sites. The terrain is well suited to walks, mountain biking, meditating or simply absorbing the restfulness of the refuge.

After the U.S. Supreme Court failed to strike down Roe v Wade when it last had its chance to outlaw abortion, Alveda King said she cried and wondered whether God had a plan.
"The answer was, it's not time," King told an audience of more than 300 Thursday at the Women's Choice Center banquet and fundraiser at the Davenport RiverCenter.
"I understood we were going to have to take the long road, and we're making progress," King said. "There are now more pregnancy care centers than there are abortion clinics."
An ordained minister, she is the niece of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
She told the stories behind her two abortions, a time when, she said, she believed women have the right to choose. A third abortion was stopped after she got pregnant by her then-boyfriend, and later husband, who was a medical doctor.
Now the mother of six children, King said she was born again in 1983.
Once a Democrat who served as a George state representative, King said she later became a Republican and then an independent. Soon, she said, she realized it was time to stop promoting one party's platform over another.
"God is not a Democrat, God is not a Republican and I don't think He has a tea party card," King said. "What's right is right, and we all must work to do what's right.
"We must wake up," she said. "Young ladies don't need more access to abortions. They need access to an education, and they need to be taught morals and values."
The Rev. Dwight Ford, executive director of the Martin Luther King Center in Rock Island, said King's message is one of redemption, that "we can be anything and do great things regardless of our mistakes."
"But we as adults have to let the youth today know that not all lessons have to experienced," he said. "We can learn from someone else's mistakes."
The Rev. Robert Wilson, who founded Risen Christ Ministry in Rock Island, said those who need help should be persistent.
"They should not take no for an answer," he said. "There are many people and many organizations out there willing to help and give hope."

Seat does a u-turn
Spanish carmaker Seat has bowed to consumer pressure and reversed its decision to remove the seatbelt reminder system from the León. When Euro NCAP was told that the safety feature would be axed at the end of last August, as part of a cost-saving exercise, it asked Seat to reconsider the decision.
After receiving no response, Euro NCAP issued a press release on August 25 informing consumers of Seat's proposed action. Public reaction to that information appears to have convinced Seat's management to continue to fit the seatbelt reminder system as standard.
Seat issued a press release stating that no Leóns had been produced without the seatbelt reminder system. Following a request from Euro NCAP for clarification, Seat has now informed Euro NCAP that they have no plans to remove the seatbelt reminder from the León.
Euro NCAP chairman Claes Tingvall said: "This shows the influence that public opinion can have on car manufacturers when it comes to maintaining the highest levels of safety. We are pleased that Seat have responded as they have."
Last month, Euro NCAP issued its latest set of crash test results. Ratings for four new cars were released: the Toyota Auris, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Magentis and Skoda Roomster. Two of the cars, the Auris and the Roomster, received a five-star rating for adult occupant protection. The Magentis and the Sante Fe both received four stars.
Despite the Skoda's excellent five-star adult occupant rating, Euro NCAP's tests identified a weakness in the Roomster. Main battery power cables are vulnerable to damage as they are routed down the front of the battery. In the frontal crash test, these cables were damaged, resulting in a loss of electrical power. As a consequence, the seatbelt pretensioners failed to fire.
Skoda proposed the fitment of reinforced sleeves over the cables to protect them. They also proposed a modification that maintained sufficient electrical supply to fire the pretensioners, even if the cables were damaged. As a consequence, Euro NCAP allowed a retest. In the retest, the cable protection was found to be inadequate with some cables again being damaged. However, the other modifications did ensure that the seat belt pretensioners operated correctly.
Euro NCAP asked if Skoda planned to modify cars already sold but was disappointed to learn that there are no plans to do this. Skoda has applied the modifications to certain vehicles.
As well as a maximum five-star rating for adult occupant safety, the Toyota Auris also achieves a commendable three stars for pedestrian protection. However, the Hyundai Santa Fe is given a zero-star rating for its pedestrian protection after failing to score a single point. The Kia Magentis also does extremely badly, scoring only three points for a one-star rating.
"These are appalling results from these two Korean manufacturers," Mr Tingvall said. "It has taken the car industry a long time to address the issue of pedestrian safety but several manufacturers are now making improvements and the Toyota Auris joins a growing list of three-star cars.
"For the Santa Fe not to score a single point shows that Hyundai have made no effort whatever to protect pedestrians and reflects a worrying disregard for the safety of this important group of road users. Manufacturers like Hyundai and Kia are now a long way behind the front-runners and it is high time that they realise that such poor results are unacceptable."

Alsoudani, 37, grew up in Baghdad and, after fleeing to Syria during his youth, he immigrated to the United States in 1999. He has since achieved much in this so-called dreamland, earning degrees from the Maine College of Art as well as the Yale School of Art.
His latest accomplishment is a showcase of paintings at Phoenix Art Museum, titled "Ahmed Alsoudani: Redacted." It's the first major museum survey of his work, and we talked with the New York-based artist about this work and about his life experiences.
Q: Was being an artist a realistic dream to have as a young boy in Iraq?
A: Of course. We have a very established art scene in Iraq. (I didn't initially want to be an artist) because my parents were kind of conservative. Even here (in America), it would be risky to let your kids go to art school. But… I wasn't really thinking about art school when I was in Baghdad. I wasn't better than other students in my high school, in terms of drawing and painting.
Q: What were your thoughts on America before you came here?
A: …American culture is not strange for almost everyone. It's a very dominant culture around the world. So we are familiar with the (cities), with the people, with the customs through the movies, through the singers, through art….The language is common because English is a dominant language around the world… Everybody knows on a certain level what's going on. We are familiar with the culture.
Q: Why do you choose to focus on ideas of violence and warfare in your paintings?
A: I will say I'm more interested in the chaos around the world, chaos that affects us on a daily basis. I do feel it's my responsibility to address the issue that's affecting us. I do value the human being, and if something affects our lives, I really cannot isolate myself from it.
The romantic idea about the artist who is living in their own world does not exist. We are people. We have friends. We have family. We live in the city. We see what's going on. We read the news. So, as a visual person, this is the way, through my paintings, that I communicate with the world.
Q: How do people respond to your paintings?
A: …We have a very busy life. And (life) really gets crowded, and I really appreciate it when people are willing to take half of their day or a few hours just to go to a museum and to see art… I have a really great time talking to people and seeing how they react to (my) paintings.
Some people really enjoy some of them, some people say the paintings, they are disturbing. Some people, they say they are scary. Some people, they say they are interesting. So, people have a different opinion and different reaction as well. And I think with my paintings, the reaction can count a lot on the experience of people themselves.
Q: What do you take inspiration from?
A: I steal from hundreds of people. I look to great artists from the Renaissance to the modern art to the contemporary. I listen to music, I read poetry, I read literature, I go to a movie theatre, I look to fashion magazines. So, all these things. We are lucky we have access to all these things… The more tools I have, the better for me to operate with my paintings.

Roy Garber, the star of A&E's reality series Shipping Wars has died. Sources confirmed to Variety that Garber died of a heart attack at the age of 49.
Shipping Wars which debuted in January of 2012, follows six carriers who have "discovered that fortunes can be made transporting items that traditional carriers either cannot or will not haul." As for Garber who is described as a "jack of-all-trades", he owned and operated Arbie's Team Transport in New Hampshire with his son Travis. The duo were the show's top earners among the other carriers.
According to Variety the show had just finished filming their fifth season on Wednesday. On the A&E site Garber's hobbies are listed as fishing and scuba diving.
Shortly before his death, Garber was rushed to the hospital in Texas after having a heart attack, but unfortunately Roy passed away shortly after he arrived. This is all according to his long-time girlfriend, who spoke with TMZ.
Although it is a huge shock, it's reported by people close to the Garber family that Roy had a pre-existing heart condition for a while.
During Shipping Wars' first season Garber was interviewed by Concord Monitor. Of the reaction he had received, Garber said:
"I didn't think it was going to be this bad. I can't go anywhere or do anything. It's just dumbfounding how many people walk up to me, have almost ran me off the road trying to get pictures. And it's just, wow, I'm not used to this kind of stuff."
Of getting used to the taping Garber didn't mince any words about his portrayal:
"It takes some getting used to. I just got done filming Jan. 10 for eight and a half months…. What we do is I find the loads and then they ride with me when I run the loads. But they're with me 12 hours a day, six days a week. We take one day a week off…. The camera is running the whole time, because I'm a very unpredictable person. I'm a very volatile person."
Although Roy described himself as a volatile person, he seemed to have a lot of fans that were touched by his presence on the show. Now that word is out on his sudden death, people have reacted on Twitter with a few words:
roy garber I really hope he is not dead he is a true role model and best charecter on #shippingwars
— Heel Paul (@NextBigThingF5_) January 19, 2014
So sad to hear about the passing of Roy Garber #Rip #SilverJesus @SkeeryJones

— Scott Snyder (@djscream702) January 19, 2014
Can't believe @RoyGarber passed away, the show won't be the same without him. #SilverJesus
— Danny (@DannyRajchel) January 19, 2014
As for official word from Shipping Wars, a statement was made on behalf of the A&E show. A representative of the show said of Roy Garber's death that they are ""deeply saddened by the loss of a member of the A&E family."

Eyesore Assembly Hall demolished
Reporter: DAWN MARSDEN
Date online: 17 January 2014
A BUILDING described as the "carbuncle of Royton" has been demolished as a kick-start to ambitious £22.5 million regeneration plans.
Royton Assembly Hall has stood vacant for more than a decade and has long been the source of complaints from residents.
But a partnership between Oldham Council and Dransfield Properties is set to bring a full revamp to the district centre, with a new supermarket, refurbishment of the town hall and library and improvements to the weekly market, car parking and precinct.
Demolition has started on the assembly hall — which will become the new retail core for the town.
This first phase of the development, which will take place on part of the former Royton Health Centre demolished in late 2013, is set to bring a new health centre, pharmacy and shops.
A second phase, due next year, includes a 50,000 sq ft food store and petrol station, and a 320-space car park and children's play centre.
Royton Councillor Steve Bashforth (pictured) said: "Demolishing the assembly hall has been a long time coming and in some ways it is sad to see it go but it is a blot on the landscape, the carbuncle of Royton.
"We are hoping the regeneration work will encourage businesses to invest in Royton and make people want to live here."
3 questions to our great man Dave
What was this hall sold for at a discount
What was it bought back for
What was the cost of demolition
Taxpayers money once again blown away by bungling leaders
The people who 1st bought this hall left vacated for years
Will be laughing all the way to the bank
Thanks dave
Find it really great that an assembly hall is being replaced by a supermarket and a petrol station, culturally speaking this is a massive step forward.
Great news - one plea ... for the new health centre
not to be the depressing blue colour as at Moorside ?!

Today we are throwing a virtual bridal shower for our friend Julie!! Julie is getting married in just a couple weeks. I am sure it will be a gorgeous ceremony, and I can't wait to see pictures of her in her dress! To help celebrate Megan brought together some of Julie's friends to share some great food.
I picked this chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake for a couple reasons. First, I know Julie is a fan of The Cheesecake Factory, and that is where the idea for this recipe came from. Second, I know she has been eating healthy so she could look beautiful in her dress. That deserves a reward, so cheesecake it is!
I am going to be honest, I am not a big fan of cheesecake. The only couple that I have liked have been heavily flavored with something else. For example; tons of cookie dough. The Cheesecake Factory has a version of this that is completely over the top. I am pretty sure there is more cookie dough than cheesecake in theirs. I evened the playing field a little, but however you want to do it is fine by me. Plus it has an Oreo cookie crust, and I am just a sucker for Oreo crusts.
I thought about doing little mini version of these, but I wanted you to be able to see the cookie dough. If you have a mini cheesecake pan (I don't), these would be great to do in there. Everyone loves mini desserts, and it is built in portion control 🙂
Congrats Julie! I hope you have a wonderful day. I know you and Jason will have a life time of happiness together.
- 2/3 package of Oreos , crushed
- 4 Tbls butter , melted
- 2 1/2 pounds cream cheese , softened - cut into 1 inch chunks
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 6 eggs , plus 2 egg yolks
- 1 Tlbs butter , melted
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Prepare the Cookie Dough :In an electric mixer, beat together butter and sugar. Add vanilla. With mixer on low, slowly add in the flour, until completely incorporated. It will be very dry, that is ok. Beat in milk until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Roll into small 1 inch balls. Place in freezer for 45 minutes, or until completely frozen.
- Prepare the crust: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix together the cookie crumbs and the butter. Press into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to firmly press it into the bottom, keeping it off the sides. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Prepare the Cheesecake: Increase oven heat to 500 degrees. Using an electric mixer beat cream cheese on low until broken up, about 1 minute. Scrape the sides, and add 3/4 cup of sugar, and salt. Mix over low for about a minute, until well combined. Beat in the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar.
- Scrape the sides, add sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla. Mix over low for 1 minute. Mix in egg yolks until thoroughly combined. Add the whole eggs, 2 at a time, beating for about 1 minute after each addition. Stir in about 1/2 of the frozen cookie dough balls, until evenly distributed.
- Gently brush the top of the baked and cooled crust with the 1 Tbls of melted butter. Place springform pan on a baking sheet. Pour filling into the crust.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Without opening the oven door reduce the temperature to 200 degrees. Bake for about 90 minutes, or until the center of the cheesecake is 150 degrees.
- Let cool for 5 minutes. Then run a knife around the edge to loosen the sides. After 2 hours wrap in plastic and refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours.
- To remove the mold wrap a warm kitchen towel around the pan, and let set for 1 minute. Gently remove the sides. Cut into 12 slices, and top with whipped cream to serve.

The Cash Money MC takes the party from a street to a club in the clip that he co-directed with Rico Da Crook.
Bow Wow's has debuted a new music video in support of his single "We in Da Club". Filmed in Miami, Florida in early July, the visuals feature him hitting the street with his red Lamborghini and hanging out with some locals, before partying with girls at a club.
"This ain't gonna be your average club video," said the 25-year-old actor/rapper, who co-directed the video alongside Rico Da Crook. "It starts off as a real-life situation, so ya'll just gotta wait and see how this s*** turn out."
Talking about the concept of the clip, he gushed, "The video was crazy. I wanted to do something vintage, something the real core-like fans who've been with me since day one would love."
He added, "I brought that essence of me shooting videos on location back. I'm off the green screen running through the neighborhoods with all the kids in the neighborhood... And of course we had to run through one of the clubs in Miami. Its like 'Fresh Azimiz' on steroids. To the max!"
The track itself is produced by DJ Mustard and is expected to be featured in the deluxe edition of Bow Wow's upcoming seventh studio album "Underrated". The record is slated to be released later this year, but the date has not been determined yet.

The industry is accused by some parents of deliberately manipulating children into eating high sugar or high fat products.
But a manufacturers' trade group told BBC Wales' current affairs programme Week In Week Out that they offer choice and that children represent a legitimate market.
Obesity is a growing problem for the NHS, costing taxpayers billions of pounds.
Adult obesity rates have tripled since 1982 with 19% of Britons now counted as obese and 39% overweight.
But childhood obesity is also increasing rapidly with the number of obese children doubling since 1982.
Around 10% of six-year-olds are obese, rising to 17% of 15-year-olds.
Obesity can lead to health problems, including arthritis, heart disease and diabetes.
Parent Tina Bailey, of Barry, south Wales, told Week In, Week Out that advertising aimed at children had led to her three-year-old daughter, Cerys, demanding the products she saw on television.
Cerys weighs the same as an average 10-year-old.
According to her mother, her weight is causing health problems and preventing her from making friends with other children.
Ms Bailey said: "Cerys sees the cheese strings bouncing around on the TV.
"She doesn't see the cheese, she sees the little thing bouncing around and she wants to eat it."
But manufacturers have defended their decision to aim some advertisements at children, saying they offer choice.
Martin Patterson, of the Food and Drink Federation, said: "Children have got money to spend, they are consumers.
"It would be absolutely wrong, surely, to just cut them off entirely."
Week In Week Out also discovered that while the number of people with obesity in Wales is rising, there is a chronic shortage of community dieticians.
Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan has just one paediatric dietician, who has a waiting list of 15 months.
Obesity surgeons are equally scarce, with just 13 working across the UK.
Professor John Baxter , Professor of Surgery at the University of Wales, Swansea, said around 100 specialist surgeons are needed to tackle the problem.
In Wales, he estimates 5,000 people need surgery to reduce their size.
Professor Baxter is only able to perform 20 operations a year and his current waiting list is three years.
"If you're morbidly obese, and you haven't started to suffer yet, you have only a one in seven chance of reaching the normal life expectancy because people die prematurely of strokes and heart attacks" says Professor Baxter.
Welsh assembly Health Minister Jane Hutt acknowledged there were serious health problems linked with obesity in Wales.
She said: "Obviously I am extremely concerned and I hear situations, not just in terms of people being overweight but the impact of it in terms of heart disease.
"We know there are huge problems and of course I'm concerned and I want to take this forward."
Week in Week Out is on BBC One Wales at 2235 BST, Tuesday, 17 June and on digital channel 2W at 2115 BST on Wednesday, 18 June.

Presidential candidate Mitt Romney held his stance on climate change Friday, recognizing that humans have contributed to global warming even though GOP leaders have typically disputed this scientifically supported concept. Romney took measures against climate change as governor of Massachusetts and covered the topic in his 2010 book "No Apology." The fact that it's news when a Republican accepts that our planet is undergoing a drastic, potentially catastrophic transformation shows just how far we are from addressing the crisis. —KDG
National Journal:
Even if it's not a new position, Romney's acknowledgment of man-made climate change is likely to stoke skepticism among conservatives who view him as too moderate. The view that humans are contributing to climate change is a highly controversial position within the GOP, with most conservatives fiercely disputing the notion that Earth is warming at all.
A National Journal analysis of GOP Senate nominees in 2010, for instance, found only one candidate in 21, now-Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk, said he thought man was contributing to climate change.

The issues sound like they belong on the therapist's couch:
The couple who haven't had sex eight months into their marriage.
The parents who can't deal with their son's homosexuality.
The male teen who wants to be called by a girl's name.
But they're also the kinds of topics that frequently crowd the inbox of Russell Moore, who recently marked his first anniversary as the Southern Baptist Convention's top public policy expert.
Though he often grapples with contentious political issues — the Hobby Lobby case, religious persecution and, most recently, the immigrant border crisis — Moore has spent much of his first year at the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission writing blog posts on Christian sexual ethics.

Celebrities join Muhammad Ali for Vegas gala
LAS VEGAS (AP) – Muhammad Ali lost just twice in his seven prizefights in Las Vegas over 19 years. Now, dozens of heavyweight celebrities are back in Sin City to laud a lifetime in the spotlight and join the icon known as "The Greatest" in fighting neurological diseases.
Roughly 2,000 people were expected to attend a swanky gala to celebrate Ali's 70th birthday on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the site of most of boxing's major fights the past 20 years. Ali turned 70 last month, and had another celebration and fundraiser then in his home state of Kentucky.
"America started with slavery and ended up with a black president," NFL great Jim Brown said on the red carpet Saturday night. "Muhammad Ali was a part of that … a big part."

One of Ali's daughters, Rasheda Ali, said the gala is a chance for friends, family and A-list celebrities who look up to her father to show their respect for his life and legacy as a humanitarian. In return, she said he'll be honored to see them there.
"He has not left that need to help others," Rasheda Ali told the Associated Press. "That's one of his core values — his charity and his giving."
The gala starting at $1,500 per plate is expected to draw some of the biggest names in entertainment and sports, including David Beckham, Anthony Hopkins, Samuel L. Jackson and Stevie Wonder.
They're planning performances and tributes to a fighter who went 56-5 in the ring with 37 knockouts and became hugely famous because of his personality and willingness to publicly stand up for his beliefs.
Ali has lived with Parkinson's disease for nearly 30 years, a degenerative brain condition that some doctors say can be brought on by punches to the head.
The gala will raise fund for the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health and the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, Kentucky, a cultural attraction that celebrates Ali's life and pushes educational goals on a wide range of topics for adults and children.
Larry Ruvo, chairman of the clinic's fundraising arm, Keep Memory Alive, said he's not sure whether the fundraiser will exceed its record of $27 million, but he hopes so.
Boxing promoter Bob Arum said Friday during a pre-gala reception attended by celebrities including Hopkins and Larry King that Ali will go down as one of the most important Americans in history.
"Without Muhammad Ali, there wouldn't have been an Obama," he said. "There wouldn't have been a mixed-race president."
Ruvo said President Obama recorded a video tribute message to Ali that would be shown during the gala.

The top play of the week goes to
The massive Gorgon LNG project of US energy giant Chevron confirmed the news of earlier this week – costs have blown out, and in a big way. The cost estimate of Australia's biggest resources project has ballooned to $US52 billion from $US37 billion. The strong Aussie dollar is being held up as the chief culprit. The rest comes from a toxic mix of poor productivity, high labour costs and weather delays.

History: Revolution Motorsports is a two-car team new for 2002 owned by Trans-Am veteran driver, Don Sak.
Drivers: Stu Hayner #02 and Bobby Sak #10
Fast Facts: The team is located in Wixom, Michigan and will campaign two 2002 Trans-Am bodied Corvettes. The Team Manager & Crew Chief is Shane Duhaime. Car Chief for the #02 car is Mark Meissen. Car Chief for the #10 is Ken Kelly.
Thanks to a new partnership with the Missing Children Society of Canada, Revolution Motorsports takes the Missing Children's campaign north of the border, calling on Canadian neighbors for help.
In December 1994, four-year old Gavin Hollett disappeared from his Parry Sound, Ontario (Canada) home. The boy's father, Doug Gibbon, decided to fight back against the individual responsible for taking his son away. Gibbon, along with millions of fans in person and via Speed Channel, will see the picture of Gavin on the hood of the #10 Corvette.
Revolution Motorsports sets its sights on a solid weekend. In their first outing, the team made a great qualifying effort putting the cars 7th [#02 car] and 13th [#10 car] on the grid at the Johnson Control 100 in Long Beach. It demonstrated the team's commitment to being a competitive force in Trans-Am.
"Long Beach is behind us," said Stu Hayner. "We go to Mosport with a strong sense of purpose and direction. I am very confident we can win with these cars and with this team." Stu also noted, "It's going to be fun having Bobby out there too. Bobby is a great young driver. He will contribute a lot regarding car set-ups."
Don Sak agrees with Hayner. "We are not new to this. This is a competitive series.... that's why we've chosen to be here.... we like the competition that this series provides. We have made some changes we felt were necessary and we will show up at Mosport ready to compete. This weekend will be lots of fun with Bobby in the #10 car. I'm looking forward to it!"
Revolution Motorsports competes as part of the Trans-Am Series for the BF Goodrich Tires Cup. All events are nationally televised on CBS and Speed channel (formerly Speedvision). The Trans-Am Series is the oldest form of American sports car racing. You can find out more at www.trans-amseries.com.

I scheduled a move with First Call Movers, on August 7, 2013 and I initally had some concerns with the quote the gent gave me but the agent assured me that they would be the ones moving my furniture but I couldn't shake the feeling that the quote he gave me was to low, so I talked it over with my uncle who has driven trucks for over thrity yearsand he told me the quote was to low. So I decided to cancel the move with first call movers and I call my moving agent back who tells me to email him my request to cancel which I do. I receive a confirmation email that my request for cancellation was received and forwarded to bathe bookkeeper and that the move was cancelled, now this is where the scam begins I've been trying for 16 days to obtain my deposit off $300.00 dollars that I initally put down I keep getting the run around that they are putting in a request with the bookkeeper this company is nothing but a rip-off and scam Artist. I wouldn't advise anyone to use them.

Rare Bird
In 1951, 15-year-old David Wingate discovered and rescued the Cahow, a bird thought to have vanished 300 years prior. More than half a century later, Wingate is still at it -- this time, trying to save the bird from the ravages of global warming. Filmed in the Cahow's island home of Bermuda, this beautifully shot documentary illuminates the struggle the world's creatures face in the wake of environmental disasters and vanishing habitats.
