PRAGUE (Oct. 3)
Jews in the Slovak half of Czechoslovakia seem to have become uneasy bystanders at best and sometimes victims in the escalating battle between increasingly provocative Slovak separatists and federal authorities determined to hold the country together.
The strident voices of the separatists, calling for dismemberment of the state, which only recently emerged from 40 years of Communist rule, has been accompanied by anti-Semitic graffiti and desecrations of Jewish cemeteries.
While it is pleased by President Vaclav Havel's unequivocal condemnation of anti-Semitic utterances and cemetery vandalism, the Slovak Jewish community seems most anxious to keep a low profile at this time.
Havel used his weekly television address Sunday to call on the former Slovak prime minister, Vladimir Meciar, to speak out against anti-Semitism and fascism and to condemn the anti-Jewish slogans on the walls of Slovak towns.
Havel observed that while Meciar had no qualms about attacking Czech and Slovak politicians who do not share his extreme nationalist views, he has been reticent about racist outrages and vandalism in Slovakia.
The Czechoslovak president also spoke out against the prevailing nostalgia for the Nazi puppet state of Slovakia that existed from 1939 to 1945.
It was the only instance in history of an independent Slovakia and owed its existence to Adolf Hitler, who selected a pro-Nazi Catholic priest, Jozef Tiso, to be its leader. Tiso, eventually executed as a war criminal, dutifully slaughtered and deported Slovakia's Jews.
Havel reminded Slovakia's politicians that Tiso's state was one of Hitler's defeated allies.
But he called repeatedly for a referendum on the issue of Slovak sovereignty. Slovak politicians and political parties aiming for the dismemberment of the republic oppose a popular vote because they fear a majority of the population rejects their adventurism.
Robert Kardos, director of Slovakia's Union of Jewish Religious Communities, said that while fascist and anti-Semitic slogans are often shouted at demonstrations for Slovak independence, the leader of the separatist Slovak National Party, Jozef Prokes, apologized in the press for the cemetery desecrations.
In addition, one of the most radical leaders of the nationalist party, Mayor Jan Slota of Zilina, has assured local Jewish leaders that he repudiates anti-Semitism.
Jews in Slovakia, nevertheless, feel uncomfortable in the prevailing political atmosphere.
"We are being criticized by some people for not being more outspoken. But together with the president of the Union of Jewish Communities, Juraj Reich, we believe that in the present turmoil, one would be well advised to act with restraint," Kardos said.

Good old Christopher Monckton speaking at the Global Warming Denial Conference
According to Monckton, the movement behind global warming alarmism can be traced to some ugly things, and being wrong about it could have a grave impact on humanity.
"I think the question you're asking is who's behind the scare," Monckton said. "There's been a long history of scares recently and scientific frauds of various kinds. It began, I suppose, with the eugenics movement in the 1930s which led to Hitler. It followed on with the Lysenko movement in Russia under Stalin. It went on with the great leap back under Chairman Mao which led again to tens of millions of deaths. The point you're making is that this kills people if you get the science wrong."
See, it was those rotten scientists who were responsible for Hitler, Stalin and Mao. And now they've given us Gore.
Monckton used the banning of DDT, which was linked to the deaths of 40 million children dying from malaria, as an example. The World Health Organization lifted the ban on Sept. 14, 2006, and that was, as Monckton said, "The science standing in front of politics."
So the sequence is Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Carson, Gore. Got it.

"I don't know whether people are shaking off cabin fever or what, but thousands of diggers turned out for the last opening," Ayres said. "Most of them went home with their 15-clam limit."
The schedule for the upcoming dig and evening low tides is:
- Feb. 7, Thursday, 4:22 p.m., -0.5 ft., Twin Harbors
- Feb. 8, Friday, 5:11 p.m., -0.9 ft., Twin Harbors, Long Beach, Copalis, Mocrocks
- Feb. 9, Saturday, 5:56 p.m., -1.0 ft., Twin Harbors, Long Beach, Copalis, Mocrocks
- Feb. 10, Sunday, 6:37 p.m., -0.9 ft., Twin Harbors, Long Beach
- Feb. 11, Monday, 7:17 p.m., -0.5 ft., Twin Harbors
- Feb. 12, Tuesday, 7:54 p.m., 0.0 ft., Twin Harbors
Ayres noted that the best digging occurs one to two hours prior to low tide.
By law, clam diggers are limited to 15 razor clams per day, and are required to keep the first 15 clams they dig. Each digger's clams must be kept in a separate container.
All diggers age 15 or older must have an applicable 2012-13 fishing license to harvest razor clams on any beach. Licenses, ranging from a three-day razor clam license to an annual combination fishing license, are available on WDFW's website at https://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov and from license vendors around the state.
Information about current and proposed digs, as well as the location of Washington's razor clam beaches, is available at http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/shellfish/razorclams/current.html .

I am in a terrible dilemma. I had a BA in 6/21/11. right implant bottomed out. Do not trust PS any longer and found out he's not certified by the American Board of plastic surgery. Got 2nd opinion and Dr wanted to open new incisions that will make it so that the old ones will show. Got 3rd opinion, Dr wants to put Silicone in and open new areolar incisions. Original BA placed saline implants over muscle. (was told they were under by original PS).Please is there an honest PS that can help me?
Breast Implant Revision, Cannot Find Right Surgeon? (photo)

Breast Implant Revision Surgeon Credentials
I am sorry to hear about your experience. I am glad that you are consulting and doing due diligence with board certified plastic surgeons. Typically, breast revisions can be trickier than the original surgery. Therefore, ensure that the surgeon is board certified by the the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. While some online sites can be manipulated, the reviews on realself.com is a reliable resource to check. Above all, believe in your instincts on who you trust and on who understands your objectives.

Breast Revisions Require Expert Care - Only go to Board Certified Plastic Surgeons
• Verify Board Certification by American Board of Plastic Surgery (do this online)
• Member of American Society of Plastic Surgery (requirements beyond Board Certification)
Member of American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (indicates extensive experience in aesthetic surgery - see below link)
• Look at online review sites - like RealSelf, Health Grades,RateMDs, Google, etc
• Look at Before and After photos
What is my instinct or "gut reaction" as to who I relate to better, answers my questions more fully and who I basically trust the most.
• Finally ask yourself - if I was to have a complication, who would be the best to take care of me

Cannot trust my Surgeon!
First, I am sorry for what you have gone through, there are unfortunately very few regulations in the world of cosmetic surgery and the only recognized board is the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the ASPS -American Society of Plastic Surgeons, members of these organizations have received formal training and have been tested to have obtained a certain level of surgical technique and knowledge. I would suspect your original surgeon was not a plastic surgeon, he simply called himself/herself that. I would encourage you to do your research, go to 3-5 consultations with Board Certified PS, and choose the one that you believe has the best surgical plan and can show you experience with this sort of problem, many surgeons do not perform revisions due to the complexity, find one that specializes in revisionary breast augmentation surgery experience! Good luck and be patient!

Breast Augmentation Revision Options?
Thank you for the question and pictures.
I'm sorry to hear about the unfortunate experience you have had. I am glad that you are doing your due diligence and looking for a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon to help you with your revisionary breast surgery.
I think you will benefit from revisionary breast surgery that will involve "repair" of the breast implant capsule on the right side. This repair (capsulorraphy) will serve to keep the right breast implant in better position. If possible, re augmentation in the sub muscular position may be helpful.
I do not think you will have a problem finding "honest" plastic surgeons; continue do your research and make sure the plastic surgeon has significant experience helping patients in your situation.
Best wishes.

Body Shop shares rose as much as 11% to 274 pence, valuing the firm at £534m ($937m), before later sliding to 265p.
L'Oreal said it was always looking to add shareholder value, which might mean "a possible offer for Body Shop", but added that no decision had been made.
Body Shop said it had not received an approach from L'Oreal.
The firm also stressed that it was "confident" about its future prospects.
Profit warning
French L'Oreal makes a wide range of cosmetics, including Ambre Solaire sun cream and Lancome lipsticks.
Body Shop - with its ethically sourced products - was one of the icons of the High Street in the 1980s, but was hit when rivals started making similar products.
It managed to recover, and now has more than 2,000 stores in 53 countries.
However, in January its shares tumbled nearly 20% after the retailer warned that lower-than-expected Christmas sales in the UK and US would hit profits.

Featured Restaurant News
The owners of Pho Nomenal Dumpling Truck are in the works for a brick-and-mortar-location in Raleigh that will be a collaboration with chef Andrew Schaumann from the former food truck Sol Taco. As you might remember, they were the winners of the most recent season of the Food Network's "The Great Food Truck Race." There has been some buzz that they will be moving into City Market. Nothing is official yet. We will keep an eye on this for you.
Wake County restaurant news
While we were sad to learn that The Borough would be closing at the end of this month, we were excited to learn that a new concept called Hadley's will open in that space, after closing for a month for renovations. They plan to reopen the first week of March. A sandwich-and-soup shop with cocktails, Hadley's will aim to retain some of The Borough's best traits.
The News & Observer reported that the family behind the former Bella Mia coal-fire pizzeria in Cary is getting back into the business. Rick Guerra and his pizza-making son, Anthony, are opening Pizza Guerra at 105 E. Martin St. downtown, next door to Fox Liquor Bar. No word yet on a timeline.
Also excited to report that Glenwood South's popular coffee hang-out Cafe Helios will reopen later this month as....you guessed it...Cafe Helios. Obviously it is revamped and under new ownership, but excited to have this option back in my rotation.
"Any day now" is the word from the News & Observer on the opening of chef Teddy Klopf's Provenance restaurant on the first floor of the new Skyhouse luxury apartment building on East Martin Street in downtown Raleigh. Klopf describes the restaurant as "refined new Southern cuisine in a contemporary, casual setting." He previously worked at McCrady's in Charleston, S.C., and The Umstead Hotel and Spa in Cary.
Napper Tandy's on Glenwood Avenue in downtown Raleigh is currently closed for renovations according to their Facebook page. No word on when they will reopen or what the renovations entail. We will keep an eye on it.
The Hive, a late-night club above the Busy Bee at 225 S. Wilmington St., has closed and will reopen as Mash & Lauter, a Belgian inspired concept with a focus on a new food menu that will feature local products meant to pair and complement both bottled and draft beers. They are looking to open the new concept next week. Check out the video above for more.
A little more information was revealed on Gary Bryant's effort on the former Varsity Theater spot on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh. Bryant is joined by chef Adam Rose on this project and it was revealed in December that it will be called H-Street Kitchen. It is still too early for an exact open date (other than Spring 2016), but the restaurant is taking shape nicely.
It was announced today, Jan. 8, that Midtown Grille has a new executive chef. John Childers, who has been the chef de cuisine at Heron's at the Umstead, will take over the kitchen next Monday. Former chef Ben Harris returns to Charleston to assume the position of executive chef at Poogan's Porch. He was chef de cuisine there prior to coming up to Midtown Grille.
Up in north Raleigh, the Triangle Business Journal is reporting that following its entry into Cary last year, Duck Donuts is opening a second Triangle location at 8323 Creedmoor Road in the Kroger-anchored Towne North shopping center, just south of Strickland Road. The Facebook page is still listing a mid-January opening.
Also in North Raleigh, the Triangle Business Journal is reporting that the owner of the Triangle's only Toppers Pizza restaurant in Chapel Hill has formed a new partnership to expand the brand into north Raleigh later this year. They are actively looking for at least three new locations between the Glenwood Avenue and Capital Boulevard corridors in north Raleigh over the next three years.
Over in Cary, the owners of Cafe Caturra in Cary's Stone Creek Village have closed the wine bar and plan to open the Triangle's second Tazza Kitchen in its place. They did a similar makeover with the former Cafe Caturra in Raleigh's Cameron Village which is also a Tazza now. Tazza's menu is inspired by the rustic outdoor cooking of southern Italy and Baja California. Construction is set to begin in the next few weeks, with a target opening of mid-spring.
Also in Cary, David McCreary (aka Lunch Boy Says) confirmed that Bellini Fine Italian Cuisine has opened in their new location at MacGregor Shopping Center in Cary. Bellini's moved from Fuquay Varina.
The owners of a Holly Springs' My Way Tavern have opened their second location, in Raleigh at 522 St. Mary's Street, in the former Ciago's location, near the Glenwood hospitality district. The My Way Tavern menu includes a variety of freshly made all-American foods such as appetizers salads, soups, burgers, sandwiches and entrées.
And down in Garner, got word from Hugh Autry that Larry's Southern Kitchen moved into the old Mayflower space at 4205 Fayetteville Road across from WalMart.
Durham, Orange & Chatham County restaurant news
Thanks to the News & Observer we got two updates on happenings over at the American Tobacco complex in downtown Durham. Nana's Scott Howell has announced that he hopes to open Nanasteak by Feb. 1.
Also in American Tobacco complex, Tyler Huntington, owner of multiple Tyler's Taproom locations in the Triangle, will be opening a "biscuit and barbecue concept" this spring. No word yet on the name or official open date. We will keep an eye on it.
Also in Durham, the News & Observer provided an update that the long-anticipated collaboration on a new barbecue joint (called Picnic), between former Piedmont chef Ben Adams, caterer Wyatt Dickson and farmer Ryan Butler, will open in early February. It will be located in northwest Durham at 1647 Cole Mill Road.
M Sushi will open in downtown Durham at 311 Holland St. on Jan. 19, according to the Bites of Bull City blog.
The News & Observer also gave us a quick update on the next two locations of Rise Biscuits & Doughnuts. One will open in the old Daisy Cakes place in Durham in February. And over in Carrboro, it will open by mid-February. That location is owned by Rick Robinson, former Mondo Bistro chef and owner who has returned to the Triangle, and his colleague Ken Priest. The store's general manager will be Silvia Pahola, who worked for many years at James Beard Award-winning chef Andrea Reusing's restaurant, Lantern in Chapel Hill.
Over in Hillsborough, the News & Observer reported that the Hot Tin Roof bar plans to add a kitchen and start serving sandwiches, subs, hot dogs and burgers by early March. Additionally, one of the bar's owners, John Bland, also plans to open two more restaurants this year in downtown Hillsborough: a white-tablecloth steakhouse and a more casual restaurant with a banquet space.
The News & Observer also reported that Mystery Brewing Co. owner Erik Lars Myers hopes to add a restaurant in his taproom by the brewery's fourth anniversary in early May. Myers said it will offer more varied pub fare from Belgian frites to lighter, fresher food including vegetarian options.
Liz Maznik made the difficult decision to close The Borough in downtown Raleigh at the end of this month. But the good news is a new concept has already been announced and plans to reopen in early March. See the details above.
Battistella's has closed their doors in downtown Raleigh's City Market.
McDaids Irish Pub on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh closed last Friday.
The Hive, a late-night club above the Busy Bee at 225 S. Wilmington St. in downtown Raleigh, has closed. The Busy Bee continues as normal. See the story above about the changes coming to that spot.
Was sad to learn over the holidays that after three years of establishing a very cool concept and brand, that Bill, Chas and Dan Morgenstern decided to close all locations of Firewurst. My best to the three of them. Nicest family you'll ever meet.
I was first tipped off by Kevin Donnelly that the Cafe Caturra in Cary has closed their doors. See the story above as to who will replace them in that location.
Over in Durham, learned from the Burgeoning Baker (and confirmed on Yelp) that Brightleaf's Chamas has closed.
After nine years, Carrboro's Southern Rail closed their doors. No word yet on what might go in that space.
Over in Chapel Hill, Franklin Street's Fitzgerald's Irish Pub has closed. Apparently a new sports concept will be taking over that space. We will keep an eye on it.

And over in Durham, the first Durham Central Park food truck rodeo, appropriately named Winter Rodeo, takes place on Sunday, Jan. 24. from 12-4 at Durham Central Park and will feature more than 50 trucks.
And got word from John Huisman (aka Triangle Explorer) that there is a new food truck in town serving up Carolina style steamed buns. Baozi describes itself as Asian/Southern fusion! Love it!
Foodie Events
Things are gearing up for Triangle Restaurant Week. It will be here before we know it. The next rendition will take place Jan. 25 through 31. Start planning your week now.
Thanks to a tip from Felicia Perry-Trujillo, I was reminded that the Triangle Wine Experience, which benefits the Frankie Lemmon Foundation, is Feb 4-6.
February 20 is the date for the 6th Annual Care to Share Gala to benefit the Guiding Lights Caregiver Support Center. It will be held at the Kerr Scott building in Raleigh. The event features a chef challenge in addition to the auction.
The 4th Annual Bull City Food & Beer Experience will be held next year on April 10, but tickets are already on sale. Visit the DPAC ticket center to avoid service charges.
Durham Magazine and Chapel Hill Magazine will sponsor the third annual TASTE: A Celebration of Food & Drink, happening from April 21 to 23, 2016. The event will feature more than 30 top local chefs and establishments in Durham, Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Raleigh. A portion of ticket proceeds will be donated to the Durham Branch of the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina.
Food bank Corner

" Author: Ngaio Marsh / Genre: Crime / Thriller "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Lord George Pastern and Baggott has always been eccentric, but when he decides to join a bunch of jazz musicians under the tutelage of Breezy Bellairs, his relatives think he has finally lost it. His wife, Cecile, is even more concerned when she finds out that her daughter (and George's stepdaughter) is seeing one of the jazz musicians, an Argentine called Carlos Rivera. Then disaster strikes at a performance - Rivera, who pretends to die as part of the act, is actually killed. Fortunately, Detective Inspector Roderick Alleyn is part of the audience and quickly becomes involved in the search for the killer. Can he find out why everyone involved seems to be lying? And what does the agony uncle of a popular magazine have to do with the case?
Ngaio Marsh, along with Agatha Christie, Dorothy L Sayers and Margery Allingham, has long been hailed one of the queens of crime. A New Zealander by birth, she was heavily involved with the theatre until her death, and many of her books involve the theatre and the performing arts.
The main character of this book and around thirty others is Roderick Alleyn, all round good egg and clever detective of Scotland Yard. As a fan of crime fiction, I do get a little fed up of the same mould of detective in books of the genre and I have to admit that Alleyn is not one of my favourite characters. He is not particularly inspiring as a character and has a tendency to patronise his subordinates (albeit with the best of intentions). In this particular book he is particularly dull; for readers new to the series, they will find out precious little about him. I much prefer the books that involve his wife, Troy - Alleyn becomes much more alive when she is around.
Marsh's involvement with the theatre has obviously given her some insight into the characters that frequent the stage and she has produced some fascinating individuals in other books. Unfortunately though, in this book, the characters are little more than caricatures of the rather difficult 'luvvie' type. As a result, they are all rather annoying, particularly Lord George, whose eccentricities come across as being ridiculous and unrealistic. This is a great shame, because I know Marsh has done so much better in other books.
The story, too, is not Marsh's strongest. The crux of the matter revolves around the murder weapon, which is something to do with a stilleto, a parasol and a revolver. All of this became rather complicated and I found it hard to follow, to the extent that I was tempted not to bother. This is very unlike me when reading books by this author - I can usually barely put them down until I have finished the last page. In this case, I did finish the book, but I certainly wasn't as gripped by the story as I have been in the past. Added to this is the story of the agony uncle, which didn't really seem to add anything to the book and fell rather flat at the end.
The book was written in the forties and, as such, the language is old-fashioned and sometimes downright odd. I suspect that much of the dialogue is unique to the world of the performing arts, which makes it even stranger to read in this day and age. I have never found that this is off-putting - in fact, I think it adds to the charm of the writing - but I can understand that this and the social commentary of the time may put some younger readers off. At the same time, drugs play an important part in this book, which for its time is quite unique.
I would definitely not recommend this book to readers new to this author - there are other much better books in the series, including A Clutch of Constables and Death at the Bar. If, like me, you are a diehard fan of books of this author and/or period, then this is obviously a must-read. Just don't expect it to be as good as others in the series.
The book is currently available from Amazon for £2.92 for a new one, which is a real bargain. Published by Saint Martins Press, it has 336 pages. ISBN: 0312966067

Grass versus Track
When you run on a paved trail or a track, the hard surface, coupled with the sure footing, combine to give you an effective push-off with every stride.
The result: fast times. Remember some of those lightning-fast times posted at Atlanta's Summer Olympics in 1996? They were run on the thinnest mondo tracks with the highest durometer readings (a measure of hardness) that the rule books would allow.
Much of the energy you exert when you run on grass, however, goes right into the earth instead of rebounding back into your feet and lower legs. Just as you have to bounce a basketball with much greater force on grass than on pavement to elicit an equal rebound, when you run on grass your cardiovascular system works harder than it does when you run on a track. Yes, this means that intervals run on grass will be slower than those run on a track. But it also means you'll get stronger from running an occasional workout on grass, as you force your body to work harder to overcome the slower surface.
The benefits of grass workouts don't end there. Here are three more:
Greater Stability. Since grass surfaces are more unstable than a track, you'll work your stabilizer muscles, such as the internal and external obliques in your torso, harder when you run on grass. This will make you a more solid runner.
Fewer Injuries. The softer surface of grass means less stress on your feet and lower legs, which can reduce your risk of stress fractures or shinsplints.
More Freedom. Moving your workout from the track to grass can take away the pressure you might feel to hit specific times for specific distances. Instead, you run hard for a predetermined amount of time rather than for a given distance. This can be very freeing, especially on days when you know you'll have trouble hitting your interval times on a track. Simply move your workout to the grass and avoid getting down on yourself.
One of Bickford's bread-and-butter workouts was a simple ladder progression you can try in any grassy park or field. First you run up the ladder: 2 x 3 minutes hard effort, 1 x 4 minutes, 1 x 5 minutes, 1 x 6 minutes. Then back down: 1 x 5 minutes, 1 x 4 minutes, 2 x 3 minutes. Finally add a couple of 60-second bursts at the very bottom of the ladder. Take no more than 3-minute recoveries between your hard efforts.
With lots of similar grass workouts in his back pocket, Bickford had the race of his life that night in Stockholm. Close to 30,000 rabid track fans hooted and hollered and banged on the advertising placards ringing the track as Bickford fended off the ferocious final kicks of the world-record holder and the Olympic champion. Over the last mile of the race, Bickford pulled away to win by 3 seconds, in a time of 27:37.17--still the No. 7 all-time run by an American. In the end, it was strength that conquered speed.

Andrew Isaacs, Marquis Little Make It Official
February 7, 2013 •
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Wednesday was an historic day at Manchester High School.
For the first time ever, two MHS players have received football scholarships to Division 1 colleges in the same year.
Andrew Isaacs, who is going to the University of Maryland, and Marquis Little, who is headed to Boston College, signed their "letters of intent" at a ceremony in Bailey Auditorium on Wednesday — which is national signing day. A large crowd turned out including lots of family members and members of the media.
Isaacs, who plays tight end and linebacker, is 6-3 and 215 pounds. Little, best known as the starting quarterback for MHS last season, is 6-3 and 220 pounds, and is projected as a linebacker at BC.
The last MHS grad to earn a D1 football scholarship was Seth Devalve, who two years ago was signed by Princeton. Devalve played quarterback at MHS but is a wide receiver in college. Last season he caught 20 passes including his first-ever college TD, against Harvard.

Porto not worried by Hulk talk
Porto president Pinto Da Costa has laughed off claims AC Milan could sign Hulk this summer and warned the striker will not be allowed to leave for less than €100 million.
• Agent: Essien won't join Milan
• Villas-Boas: I could be 'The S**t One'
Hulk, 24, has been a key part of Porto's success this season, with the team having already clinched the league title and seemingly certain to secure a place in the Europa League final.
A number of top clubs around Europe are said to have shown interest in Hulk and Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani recently said: "Our transfer campaign will run from May 30, but I do like Hulk a lot."
However, Milan pulled out of a deal to sign Aly Cissokho from Porto in 2009 as they claimed the France left-back had a problem with his teeth during the medical and Da Costa has rubbished suggestions they could afford Hulk.
"Hulk to Milan must be a joke," Da Costa told Record. "They previously wanted Cissokho and they could not do it. They got that story about his teeth as an excuse, when in fact Cissokho has better teeth than I do. It is ridiculous.
"We've not had any offers for any players at the moment, but whoever wants to sign them will have to meet their release clauses. Hulk's is set at €100 million and I won't let him go even if someone offered me €99 million. You either pay that figure or nothing."

Hollywood goes for the formulaic in 42. A biopic about barrier-breaking baseball great Jackie Robinson, the film scratches the surface of history and diminishes Robinson's very real human achievement by casting him in the ill-defined haze of myth.
Born in 1919 in Cairo, Ga., Robinson left the Jim Crow-era South and became a college sports star at UCLA. Following a disheartening stint in the U.S. Army, he played for the Negro American League's Kansas City Monarchs and, in 1947, broke the major league baseball color line when he made his debut with the all-white Brooklyn Dodgers.
Robinson and his success in professional sports is a great American story that deserves top-tier biopic treatment. 42, self-conscious as it is, shallow and burdened by an imitation Aaron Copland orchestral score that's always announcing momentousness, is not that treatment.
42 has moments of power and clarity, scenes when the importance of Robinson's accomplishment and Brooklyn Dodgers president and general manager Branch Rickey's bold decision to bring a black athlete to the team break through writer-director Brian Helgeland's otherwise stodgy storytelling.
Some scenes are moving, especially those depicting both the racial abuse and acceptance Robinson experienced early in his professional baseball career.
But many things don't work, including the haphazard framing of Robinson's story through Wendell Smith, an African-American sportswriter who Rickey hired to be Robinson's guide in dealing with sportswriters. Robinson's relationship with his wife, Rachel, the nursing student he met at UCLA and married in 1946, is another example of the screenplay's superficial strokes.
Playing Rickey, 70-year-old Harrison Ford depicts the then 65-year-old baseball executive as a tough old codger who possesses both a practical businessman's mind and an open heart. Ford wears his elderly character comfortably and gets the movie's best lines.
Chadwick Boseman, an actor who thus far has appeared in a few feature films and lots of television, plays Robinson as a young man who must contain his anger amidst the taunts that accompany his entry into the major leagues.
It's an earnest performance but, like so much of 42, it stays on the surface. Unlike the recent Abraham Lincoln biopic — another biopic that focuses narrowly upon a few years in its famous subject's life — the Robinson that Boseman and Helgeland put on screen is not tangible enough to send audiences out of theaters thinking they've been in the presence of a great man or learn much about him.
Helgeland's script gives Boseman little to grasp. It's also too obviously the work of a modern writer, too contemporary to transport moviegoers to the bygone mid-1940s, leaving the production's abundant vintage automobiles and wardrobe looking like so much window dressing.

So you're saying you went over to the dark side, but that soon you're going to slay Ajay and come back to the light?
And yet, is it your destiny perhaps to bring the force to the balance? It is issue that should be discussed with the philosophical approach ...
Slaying one's master at his weakest is the SITH WAY. Vader killed Sidius, Luke killed Vader. Are you even sure the Sith haven't won at the end of VI?
Yeah, these movies sucked. They sold the franchise to Disney and since it cannot get any worse I assume it will get better.
Wow, that was pretty good.
Still going to take AMP back, but good article using star wars.
Lol, funny how the story tells the Emperor dies in the end and so does Darth Vader, I take it you'll "die"? xD
You too mr Obi-Luis Kenobi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaMoK4qbG38 xD
Lol, nope. my eWife's ex eHusband is Free Area. 😛 It's a long story and I'm not really going to bother to leave this for public scrutiny.
Considering this fail representation of Star Wars it's kinda of hard to take seriously or follow the message involved xD not to mention in the story you lose in the end.

Woot, you wanna buy my silence with the AMPs gold!
Watcha waitin' 4???
Wasn't even gonna read it, but The Force drew me in.
Good stuff. I lol'd.
Hell, I'm even gonna vote it.
If you consider the rebel scum good guys, then yes, they did. Sidius and Vader were just pale shadows of true Sith lords such as Revan, Nihilus, Freedon, Ragnos, etc. They were weak, so they lost, but the Sith will return. Just wait for the VII and see.

PG CLE 5 years ago
Isaiah Thomas hit just 4-of-12 shots for 12 points, three assists, zero steals and a 3-pointer in 29 minutes on Wednesday.
He'll enter the break as one of the league's most inconsistent performers, as owners never know what they'll get from night to night, but has quietly played very well in February. He's hit double figures in scoring in five straight games and is averaging a solid 18.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.3 3-pointers and just 1.7 turnovers in his seven February games, while shooting 43 percent. He also hasn't missed a free throw since Jan. 31, and deserves to be owned, and started, in most leagues, although more assists would be nice.

What is HQL?HQL stands for Hibernate Query Language, and is the data query language that comes with Hibernate. Hibernate is a Java-based library for accessing relational data. You can download Hibernate at www.hibernate.org. HQL is very similar to SQL, but has two powerful benefits:
- HQL provides one language for accessing different SQL databases, each with its own slightly different flavor of SQL; and
- HQL has object oriented extensions which can be very powerful.
SELECT name
FROM customer
WHERE state = "CA"
In HQL, this same query looks something like this:
SELECT cust.name
FROM customer cust
WHERE cust.state = "CA"
How These Examples WorkThis guide provides an easy way to learn how HQL works using a simple data model and a set of working examples. These examples build from simple topics such as HQL SELECT WHERE queries to more complex topics such as HQL JOIN queries For each example, there is a description of the HQL topic and an example in which you can see the actual HQL and then execute the HQL query to see the result. The Customer/Purchase Data Model All examples in this guide use the same simple data model with two tables: a customer table and a purchase table. There are two relationships: a customer can have zero to many related subsidiaries and a customer can have zero to many related purchases. Here is the DDL for the employee table:
Here is the DDL for the employee table:
All of these examples were built using WaveMaker Visual Ajax Studio. If you want to practice creating HQL queries against your own data model, you can download WaveMaker at www.wavemaker.com. HQL And Case Sensitivity Keywords are not case sensitive: keywords (e.g., SELECT, FROM and WHERE in the above example) are not case sensitive. In this guide, all keywords will be capitalized
Properties are case sensitive: table and column names (e.g., customer, cust and name in the above example) are case sensitive and must match their corresponding Java declarations.
Basic HQL QuerySELECT is the most common statement in SQL, and is the starting point for most queries:
- The FROM clause: indicates the source table or tables from which the data is to be retrieved.
- The AS clause: allows you to create an alias for a table or column name. In general, this is a good practice, particularly for complex queries.
allows you to define an alias for a table or column.
SELECT cust.name AS customer_name FROM Customer AS cust
Because HQL is object oriented, it assumes by default that you want all the columns returned from each table. Thus to return all rows and columns of the Customer table, simply write:
FROM Customer
HQL WHERE ClauseThe where clause allows you to narrow the list of instances returned. The WHERE clause includes a comparison, which is used to restrict the number of rows returned by the query. The following example uses a where clause to return only Customers who are located in California (e.g., cust.state = 'CA'):
SELECT cust.name AS customer_name FROM Customer AS cust WHERE cust.state = 'CA'
Query with ParametersYou can specify input parameters for an Hibernate query using ":" such as :inputVar. The following example searches for matches to an input string:
FROM Customer cust WHERE lower(cust.name) LIKE :inputName
Wild Card Query With LIKEThe SQL keyword, LIKE, is used for pattern matching on a string. Usually, the percent character is used to allow pattern matching before or after the keyword. The following example uses the special pipe symbol "||" to create a string that concatenates the parameter, ":descriptionvar" with the percent symbol to match the occurence of the descriptionvar parameter anywhere in the description column.
FROM Issue WHERE (description LIKE '%' || :descriptionvar || '%')
Optional or Null ParametersFor complex search queries with a number of search parameters, some of the parameters may not always be set. In this case, you can specify directly in HQL to return true if the parameter is null or the parameter matches a specific value. In the following example, if the parameter ":priorityvar" has the value null the HQL expression evaluates to true, or if :priorityvar is not null, it matches the priority attribute in the table.
FROM Issue WHERE (:priorityvar is null OR priority = :priorityvar)
Case Insensitive QueryYou can also perform a case-insensitive query using LOWER function. The wild card character '%' to match any number of characters. The following example allows the user to enter a string and then performs a case insensitive, wild card search that matches the first part of the name string.
FROM Customer cust WHERE lower(cust.name) LIKE lower('%'+:inputName+'%')
Inner JoinThe JOIN clause allows you to link information from multiple tables, for example associating Customers with their related Purchases. An INNER JOIN only returns results if there are matching records in both tables. In Hibernate, you can use a relationship name, such as cust.purchases, to specify the purchases for a customer. In standard SQL, this would be handled by a WHERE clause that explicitly compares primary and foreign key values. NOTE: in Hibernate, joins are different than in normal SQL. Hibernate uses the relationship name defined in your Hibernate mapping file. You must use table name aliases (e.g., Customer AS cust) and then explicitly reference the alias and the relationship in the join (e.g., JOIN cust.purchases). The following example performs an inner join to return only Customers who have made Purchases.
SELECT cust.name AS name, purch.orderdate AS order_date, purch.ordervalue AS order_value FROM Customer AS cust INNER JOIN cust.purchases AS purch
You can also join a table with itself. The following example shows using a self join to get the subsidiaries for each customer:
SELECT cust.name AS name, subsidiary.name AS subsidiary_name FROM Customer AS cust INNER JOIN cust.customers AS subsidiary
This example shows calculating the total purchases by customer
SELECT cust.name AS cust_name, SUM(purch.ordervalue) AS total_purchases FROM Customer as cust INNER JOIN cust.purchases as purch
Outer JoinAn outer join does not require each record in the two joined tables to have a matching record. In a join, the first table mentioned in the FROM clause is referred to as the left table. The second table mentioned in the FROM clause is referred to as the right table. An outer join can be either a right or left outer join:
- Left outer join: returns every record in the first table combined with any matching records in the second table
- Right outer join: returns every record in the second table combined with any matching records in the first table
SELECT cust.name AS name, purch.orderdate AS order_date, purch.ordervalue AS order_value FROM Customer AS cust LEFT OUTER JOIN cust.purchases AS purch
Cross JoinA cross join combines every row in the first table with every row in the second. It is most useful to pass a single value to every row in a table, for example, to pass the total order value to every row in order to calculate what percentage of the total order value that row represents.
HQL Aggregate FunctionsHQL supports a number of statistical functions, such as: AVG, SUM, MIN, MAX, COUNT and COUNT(DISTINCT ...). COUNT(DISTINCT) only returns the unique elements of a column. The following example shows using a variety of statistical functions.
SELECT COUNT(purch) AS purchase_count, COUNT(DISTINCT purch.orderdate) AS distinct_dates, AVG(purch.ordervalue) AS average_value, SUM(purch.ordervalue) AS total_value, MIN(purch.ordervalue) AS minimum_value, MAX(purch.ordervalue) AS maximum_value FROM Purchase as purch JOIN purch.customer as cust WHERE cust.state = 'CA'
HQL ORDER BY ClauseThe ORDER BY clause is used to identify which columns are used to sort the resulting data, and in which order they should be sorted (options are ASC for ascending or DESC for descending). The following example shows returning a list of customers ordered by state in ascending alphabetical order and then by name in descending alphabetical order
SELECT cust.name AS customer_name, cust.state AS customer_state FROM Customer AS cust ORDER BY cust.state ASC, cust.name DESC
HQL GROUP BY ClauseQuery results can be grouped by any column value to provide summary information. The GROUP BY clause is used to combine, or group, rows with related values into elements of a smaller set of rows. The following example shows returning the total value of all orders, grouped by the state in which a customer is located.
SELECT cust.state AS state, SUM(purch.ordervalue) AS total_value, FROM Customer as cust JOIN cust.purchases as purch GROUP BY cust.state
HQL UpdateUse the UPDATE statement to update a row or rows in the database. The following example updates a row in the Project table with primary key = input parameter :pid and increments the nextIssueNum column by 1.
UPDATE Project p SET p.nextIssueNum = p.nextIssueNum+1 WHERE p.projectId = :pid
HQL DeleteUse the DELETE statement to delete a row or rows in the database. The following example deletes a row in the Project table with primary key = input parameter :pid.
DELETE FROM Project p WHERE p.projectId = :pid
HQL InsertHQL does not support inserting rows into a database, but the Hibernate API does have methods for inserting new records. In WaveMaker, use the LiveForm function, insertData() to insert objects into a database.
HQL Nested Select StatementsThis example shows how to return data from two different tables in the same query by using a nested select. The first SELECT queries the lineitem table and returns the total amount of items purchased in a particular order. The second SELECT queries the total payments for that order. Both queries rely on a join to the purchase table to retrieve only lineitem and payments where purch.lineitem = orderid.
SELECT (SELECT ROUND(SUM(relitem.quantity * relitem.item.price),2) FROM purch.lineitems AS relitem) AS totinvoice, (SELECT SUM(relpayment.amount) FROM purch.payments AS relpayment) AS totpayment FROM Purchase AS purch WHERE purch.orderid = :orderid GROUP BY purch.orderid
HQL Current Date FunctionThe HQL variable, current_date, returns the current date.
SELECT current_date AS today FROM Purchase
HQL Format Date FunctionBy default, the date is returned as the number of number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT). To format a date into a human-readable format, use the MySQL Date_Format function. The following query produces dates in the format of 'Monday, March 21, 2011':
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(current_date, '%W, %M %d, %Y') AS today FROM Payment
More information on the MySQL date format function
HQL Date Math - Compare DatesTo compare the difference in days between two dates, use the MySQL datediff function. The following query returns the number of days overdue a purchase invoice is based on comparing today's date to the due date for that invoice.
SELECT purch.customer.company AS name, purch.duedate AS duedate, current_date AS today, DATEDIFF(current_date, purch.duedate) AS overdue, FROM Purchase AS purch WHERE DATEDIFF(current_date, purch.duedate) >= :duevar

HQL Complex Query ExamplesThis example shows a more complex, multi-level join where billrecord.task.project navigates from the billrecord table to its related project via the task table.

text: YWCA conference aims to mentor female leaders By Sara Busse August 11, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- In 1912, the goal of the newly formed YWCA Charleston was to encourage young women. With that in mind, the organization will continue its centennial celebration with a special event aimed at tomorrow's leaders."Young Women Leading Change," aimed at women and girls ages 15 to 35, will take place from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Aug. 25 at the Clay Center.Participants will attend small group workshops to learn ways to lead change -- by understanding differences, improving communities and becoming tomorrow's leaders. A networking lunch will feature retired Army Lt. Col. Consuelo Castillo Kickbusch, who will speak at the close of the conference.Kara Williams, president of the YWCA board of directors and head of the program committee for the centennial celebration, sees this as a way to add substance to the celebration."We started planning for the centennial more than a year ago," Williams said. The group wanted to look forward to the next century as well as celebrate the accomplishments of the past during this anniversary."The YWCA offers a wide range of social services, and we were looking at all of the emerging issues that we see. We finally had a 'light bulb' moment and said, 'We can't tackle all of these issues in a half-day conference!'"It was too much, too big, so we decided what we can do is help prepare the next generation with the tools needed to address these concerns."So they looked at their strategic plan, which encourages them to engage the community's youth. That's when they realized this topic was the right one to pursue. "Ages 15 to 35 is an interesting demographic," Williams said. "At one of our YWCA board meetings, we asked the group members, all successful women in their fields, to invite a young woman whom they know who has leadership potential to come to the 'Women of Achievement' luncheon. You could see them getting excited about this idea." The women and girls they invited determined the age-group focus for the conference."We looked at the whole concept of going through life, and as you proceed, you often have your hand up, asking for help," Williams said. "You need to have your hand back, to help someone else along. When you reach a hand back, you get so much more. We want to promote that type of giving."Riverside High School rising senior Nichelle Draganowski, an active member of the YWCA board, has rallied her friends to join her at the conference."I, certainly, will be attending along with at least 10 friends. I am still recruiting though and plan on getting every slot available filled with local young women I know need and deserve this opportunity," Draganowski said. "It is not every day that free chances are available to young West Virginia women -- to expand our horizons and speed our way down the paths of success with the help and tips from the wonderful guest speaker of this conference," she said, "and even local women of the YWCA that have proven themselves day in and day out."Different sessions will be taught by area women, including Denise Burgess, of Charleston Area Medical Center; Carolyn Meadows, director of programs at the YWCA; Karen Workman, 2010 Consulting; Becky King, an organizational consultant; and Jeri Matheny, communications director for Appalachian Power.Kickbusch will lead sessions as well as speak on the topic "Living your Legacy." Based in Texas, she broke barriers by becoming the highest-ranking Hispanic woman in the Combat Support Field of the U.S. Army. In 1996, Kickbusch founded the human development company Educational Achievement Services Inc. to fulfill her mission of preparing future leaders. Kickbusch has shared her knowledge of effective leadership with hundreds of schools, universities, corporations and government institutions in the U.S. and abroad.YWCA volunteer Ashley Showen, a recent college graduate who works at CAMC, will attend the conference. She sees it as an important way to continue to hone her leadership skills."I went out of state to college -- Ohio University -- and chose to come back to Charleston because I have strong ties to the city and have a passion for making it a place to which more people will want to return," Showen said."As young women, it's so important to feel confident that we have the power to make a difference. Leading by example, I believe we can encourage others to effect change in their communities. Volunteerism is a large part of that, and the YWCA is one of the best examples I can think of in leading that charge."Hopefully, this conference will get more people in the community involved in the great work the YWCA and other local nonprofits are doing to make Charleston a better place."Nina Shell, an account executive with ContactPointe and mother of two, said she believes wholeheartedly in lifelong learning and service. "I think so many young women are driven to make this community an improved environment, not just atheistically or economically but socially as well," Shell said. "Networking with similarly caring and devoted women will be the greatest opportunity this event could offer. I also hope to learn more about the YWCA's efforts to improve the lives of individuals in the most destitute of circumstances. The bigger picture is that our society would benefit by lending a hand and harnessing the tremendous spirit these people exhibit."To participate in the "Young Women Leading Change" conference, contact Andrea Thaxton at 304-340-3584 or at firstname.lastname@example.com. Admission to the conference is free as part of the continuing mission of the YWCA.Reach Sara Busse at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1249.

MIAMI — Jennifer Urs Sullivan works at the University of Miami and she was not looking forward to walking down the aisle at her wedding because her father had died and she had no one to accompany her.
But as part of the school's "RENEWED" initiative to be more active in the community, the school stepped up to have someone walk Urs Sullivan down the aisle — the school's mascot, Sebastian the Ibis, Yahoo reported.
After she walked down a long staircase by herself, video posted to YouTube shows Sebastian coming from one of the hallways to walk Urs Sullivan to her husband-to-be Patrick. The mascot wore Urs Sullivan's father's nickname on the back of its jersey and escorted her as those in attendance applauded.
She wrote on Facebook: "I just want to thank all of the amazing people in the athletic department … who helped to make this happen. Without you, my day might have been just a little less beautiful."

This is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of my enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.

He is one of basketball's towering figures: "Mr. Clutch," who mesmerized his opponents and fans. The coach who began the Lakers' resurgence in the 1970s. The general manager who helped bring "Showtime" to Los Angeles, creating a championship-winning force that continues to this day.
Now, for the first time, the legendary Jerry West tells his story-from his tough childhood in West Virginia, to his unbelievable college success at West Virginia University, his 40-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, and his relationships with NBA legends like Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant. Unsparing in its self-assessment and honesty, West by West is far more than a sports memoir: it is a profound confession and a magnificent inspiration.
©2011 Jerry West, Jonathan Coleman (P)2011 Hachette Audio
"Jerry is really disturbed and needs help"
About as poorly written book as one could write. This book is disturbing for one who loved basketball in the 60's. Jerry, get help before you take your own life. It didn't help that his son Ryan was the narrator. His performance was as bad as the writing of the book.
I finished listening to this recording only because of the characters that surrounded Jerry during his career. Russell, Baylor, Cousy, Robertson, Barry etc...
Absolutely not
The performance was dismal. The context of the book didn't help.
"Raw and Powerful"
The book is biographical, but also something more. A genuine insight into a great man. Really delves into the emotions, tribulations, and the thought process of someone who we admire.
Great Read.
"Could not stop listening!"
A must read for anyone who has lived though child abuse or know someone who has, if you are a sports fan in general or a basketball/Laker fan to be more direct.
"So terrible!"
No way! He's terrible. Monotone.
This may have been a gripping book, but I couldn't get past the monotone performance. Depressing!
"a little bit disturbing, and not that well done."
I don't listen to many autobiographies, but I didn't get a sence that Jerry West understood himself that well, he listed the oddities, quirks and superstitions but glossed over his mistakes and the people he wronged, West needed get an actual writer to help him tell his story, not his pal, and worse his son reads the book, and after listening to him read, you really appreciate a good reader, seven words take a breath, seven more, all the way through, stay away.

Who is Captain Benjamin Sisko
Benjamin Sisko is from the human species in planet Earth. His character was played by actor Avery Brooks in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. he was born in 2332 to Joseph and Sarah Sisko who lived in New Orleans, Louisiana. His parents had a happy marriage despite the truth that Sarah was under the influence of another entity who manipulated her to marry Joseph and give birth to a son. Sarah disappeared two days after Benjamin's first birthday and died several years after that.
Benjamin Sisko entered the Starfleet Academy in 2350. After his study, he married a woman named Jennifer and they had a son named Jake. As an officer in Starfleet, Benjamin's mentor was Curzon Dax while onboard USS Livingston. Dax was a joined Trill who served as a Federation ambassador under the Klingon Empire. Benjamin somehow adopted the symbiotic nature of Trill which became significant in his later encounters and relationships with Jadzia Dax and Ezri Dax in DS9.
It was 2369 when Sisko was assigned in Bajoran to command Deep Space 9 and help the Bajoran species recover from the Cardassian occupation. He began residing in the station with his son, Jake. Although reluctant to stay in the station due to its environment and to the presence of Jean-Luc Picard, Benjamin stayed on the station to finish his mission. With Jadzia Dax, he visited the Bajors. The Bajor's called him 'The Emissary of the Prophets,' and presented to him the Tears of the Prophet - a mysterious Orb that supposedly came from their Prophets. It was through the orb that they were able to see the first stable wormhole.
Sisko finished his mission in DS9 and at the end, fulfilled the Bajor Prophets' declared destiny of the commander. he was pulled into the Prophets' plane of existence after he won over Dukat in a fight. He was to live in the plane and learn from the prophets.

Congress may be ready to close the "carried interest" loophole, which allows wealthy investment fund managers to pay taxes at lower rates than middle-income people.
As a new report from CTJ explains, carried interest is the share of profits that investors pay to compensate certain people for managing their money. The investment managers who receive carried interest have been allowed to pretend that this compensation represents profits on money they have invested themselves, thus entitling them to pay taxes at the low capital gains rate of 15 percent rather than the regular rate of 35 percent that other highly compensated workers pay.
Three times the House has voted to close the "carried interest" loophole and three times the Senate has failed to pass the provision. The latest version of the loophole closer was included in the "tax extenders," a bill that extends expiring tax breaks, which was approved by the House on December 9. The Senate left the carried interest provision out of its version of the extenders bill, which they passed on March 10, and instead offset the costs of the tax breaks with a provision closing the "black liquor" loophole. However, that provision wound up in the final healthcare package, leaving the Senate extenders bill without enough revenue to cover the costs.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus indicated last week that "carried interest will probably be part of the offsets." That released a flurry of lobbying activity by taxpayers trying to hold onto their favored status.
