DURHAM, N.C.—Five Duke wrestlers recently garnered Scholar All-America honors from the National Wrestling Coaches Association and the Blue Devil squad came in ninth nationally in overall team grade point average. Duke is the highest ranked team out of the ACC, while the five individual honors are tied for third among all Division I wrestling programs.
The Blue Devils, sporting a 3.3543 team GPA this year, moved up six spots from the No. 16 ranking a year ago. Duke is the lone team to be in the top 10 of team GPA and finish in the top 25 at the NCAA Championships. Overall, only six programs were among the top 25 in the NCAA standings and team grade point average.
Picking up the individual Scholar All-American awards were Duke's five NCAA qualifiers Benjamin Anderson, Josh Finesilver, Matt Finesilver, Mitch Finesilver and Zach Finesilver. Duke was one of seven schools to have at least five players on the list with Ohio State leading the way with seven and Lehigh landing six.
The recognition is the second straight for Josh and Zach Finesilver, while Mitch and Matt Finesilver and Anderson grab their first NWCA academic accolade.
The Scholar All-America award is the latest honor for Mitch Finesilver after being voted the ACC Wrestling Scholar Athlete of the Year and Duke's Male Senior Student-Athlete of the Year. The 2019 ACC Champion at 149 pounds, Mitch became the fourth Blue Devil to earn All-America recognition after taking fourth at the NCAA Championships. He finished his career with a 95-30 overall record to rank eighth on the Duke career list. His 33 wins this past season are sixth on the single-season charts.
Zach Finesilver made his third appearance in the NCAA Championships this past season, while Josh and Matt both earned their second bids to the postseason event. It was the second straight season all four Finesilvers made it to the national stage, with the first being an NCAA-first. Matt garnered his first All-ACC award with a runner-up finish at 174 pounds, while Josh and Zach both took third.
Rounding out the crew is Anderson who grabbed an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships with an upset victory over No. 5 seed Jake Keating of Virginia. In his opening pigtail match at the NCAA Championships, Anderson pinned Lock Haven's Alexander Klucker. Anderson was voted the team's Most Outstanding Freshman and was the team's Scholar Athlete of the Year as well.
Duke finished 2018-19 with its second straight top 25 finish at the NCAA Championships, taking 24th overall.

Oubaai Golf Club is home to a Championship Golf Course designed by 3 times Major Championship Winner Ernie Els. The course is a links layout where veld grasses line the lush fairways and greens.
Being a coastal golf course, the elements and predominantly the wind play a role in the defences of the course.
Oubaai is a course that will reward the well executed shot and penalize any wayward shots in the true time honoured tradition of a championship golf course.
The course measures 6516 meters from the Pro tees. This is long for a coastal course, but the design and placement of tee boxes allow all levels of handicap golfer the opportunity to extract a respectable score given patience and good course management.

Q: Argument to apply Fubini in the complex plane I'm trying to solve an additive RHP and in order to do that I need to prove a Cauchy transform is analytic. In particular, given an analytic function $f : U \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$, where $U \subset \mathbb{C}$ is a domain, I'm trying to prove the Cauchy's transform of $f(z)$ in the contour $\gamma = \mathbb{R}$ (given below) is analytic
$$
Cf(z) = \frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_\mathbb{R} \frac{f(s)}{s-z}ds.
$$
So far, I tried to apply Morera's theorem here: given a simple closed contour $\Gamma$, prove that
$$
\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_\Gamma \int_\mathbb{R} \frac{f(s)}{s-z}dsdz = 0.
$$
If somehow we could apply Fubini in the integral above then
$$
\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_\Gamma \int_\mathbb{R} \frac{f(s)}{s-z}dsdz
=
\frac{1}{2\pi i} \int_\mathbb{R} f(s) \int_\Gamma \frac{1}{s-z}dz ds
= 0
$$
because $\frac{1}{s-z}$ is analytic in a region containing $\Gamma$, so by Morera's theorem the inside integral is 0 and we are done.
I already know this Cauchy transform is analytic, so in fact the double integral is 0 and we can apply Fubini, but what is the argument to solve it properly?

New Scholarship Honors Schoharie County's
Clifford and Elizabeth Hay
SUNY Cobleskill President Marion Terenzio recently announced a new scholarship endowment in honor of Clifford and Elizabeth Hay and their countless contributions to Schoharie County. The annual scholarship will benefit a student majoring in Dairy Science at SUNY Cobleskill who has been active in the FFA.
"Cliff and Betty Hay are the kind of people who form the backbone of a community," Dr. Terenzio said. "From business to education to work with the county's youth, the Hays have given tremendously to Schoharie County and its residents. We are proud to announce this new endowment in their names."
Throughout his life, Cliff Hay has been a pillar of the county's business community and a role model for its young people. After serving his country in the Marines for three years, Cliff came home to Schoharie County in 1956 to run the first farm in the county to milk 100 cows and the first to use a 100-horse power tractor. Over the years, he diversified. He founded Clifford C Hay, Inc. in 1972, then the Cobleskill Car Wash in 1984, and Handy Rental and Mobil Express in 1989.
As an FFA advisor in the Knox school district, he helped guide young people to success and leadership in agriculture. Cliff currently serves as the chair of the Schoharie County Democratic Committee.
Betty Hay got her start at SUNY Cobleskill, earning a two-year business degree that she put to use keeping the books for Clifford C Hay, Inc. After earning a master's degree from the University at Albany, Betty began a teaching career in the Cobleskill School District that lasted 20 years. Betty and Cliff raised three children together.
The first recipient of the Cliff and Betty Hay Scholarship was Dairy Science major Katarina Thomas.
To learn more or contribute to the endowment, contact the SUNY Cobleskill Office of College Advancement at 518.255.5524.

A portrait of Aurangzeb circa 17th century from the book Aurangzeb: The Man And The Myth.
By Manu S. Pillai
Some days ago, Emperor Aurangzeb—recently toppled from the towering heights of a Delhi signpost—found his way to the more untroubled comforts of my bookshelf. The woman behind this restoration is Audrey Truschke who, when not exploring the place of Sanskrit at the Mughal court, is evidently part of a cabal of "soul vultures", according to one furious local website. They have reason to dislike her. After all, Aurangzeb—Muslim tyrant, persecutor of Hindus, stitcher of skull caps, etc., etc.—deserves no honour. And writing a book called Aurangzeb: The Man And The Myth concedes too much dignity to a despot who deserves only contempt. Or so we are told.
In itself, this very contested setting makes the prospect of reading Truschke attractive, but if one is looking for overblown sympathy that projects Aurangzeb as a tragic hero (currently a place reserved for his slaughtered brother, Dara Shukoh), this isn't the book. On the contrary, what we receive is a sequence of sober, unvarnished sentences that demolish political propaganda and show Aurangzeb as a man who certainly made many mistakes, but not the ones for which he is blindly condemned. To begin with, he was not the destroyer of "thousands" of temples—in his 49 years on the Peacock Throne, the number of shrines demolished was perhaps half that figure.
"Aurangzeb was an emperor," Truschke writes, "and as such he needed no special justification for seeking to enlarge his empire." I confess to liking this otherwise dry statement, for in one stroke it puts the man in the correct perspective—he was a despot, but he lived in an age of despots, answering to the demands of his own situation and not to the retrospective needs of ours. Dara Shukoh, his more amiable, philosophically inclined brother, would have been relatively heterodox perhaps, but even he admitted that had he won the war of succession, Aurangzeb would have been neatly chopped up and put on display in Delhi. "Either the throne or the grave" was the reality of the Mughals, and the most excellent of them lived by this dictum.
Truschke agrees that Aurangzeb was a a clever strategist but a bad ruler—he stretched the empire to unsustainable limits and on his deathbed was preoccupied with the inevitable unravelling of his house. His unnecessary imposition of the jizya tax on Hindus (from which Rajput and Maratha officials as well as Brahmin dignitaries were exempt) only lined pockets in the decaying bureaucracy. For years he patronized temples as far away as Guwahati and later rescinded such orders when his princely mood turned. He allied with mullahs where it served his purposes, and discarded them when it didn't. Leading clerics, for instance, opposed his usurpation of the throne. Aurangzeb simply had them replaced.
Understandably, it was insecurity that guided his strange actions. When he took the title Alamgir, the Shah of Iran sniggered that "Seizer of the World" was somewhat exaggerated when the only thing Aurangzeb had seized was his own father. As Truschke states, "Being branded an illegitimate Muslim monarch likely prompted Aurangzeb to become more devout.... Here, Aurangzeb's religiosity did not shape state policy so much as his kingly experiences inspired changes in his religious life." He appropriated religion to invent legitimacy—a technique not unfamiliar to rulers from other faiths—but if conflict arose between Islamic ideals and imperial business, it was the latter that prevailed. When the mullahs objected to his war against Muslim sultans in the Deccan, Aurangzeb ignored them.
Truschke also insists that we must not hold Aurangzeb up to Akbar since "in such comparisons we also commit the classic error of assuming that everything in Indian history, especially the Indo-Muslim past, was about religion", where Akbar becomes the "good" Muslim whom Hindus respected, and Aurangzeb the "bad" one everyone resented. Aurangzeb was generally austere—he restricted Holi celebrations, but also festivities around Muharram and Eid. The love of his life was a Christian, and for a man who didn't permit music in his presence, his companion towards the end was a musician wife. His daughter was a poet and his uncle, Shaista Khan (a villain for the Marathas), composed in Sanskrit. If we must compare him with Akbar, it is instructive that Hindus comprised 22.5% of all the nobility under the former, while during Aurangzeb's time the number reached an unprecedented 31.6%.
It is a deathless travesty that political interests today draw nourishment for current interests from decontextualizing history, without actually going through the effort of learning enough of it. Aurangzeb occupied a complex world with competing interests and changing personalities—the scheming prince who took the throne in 1658 was not the emperor who died in 1707, fearing the advent of ruin. He probably realized he had failed, retiring to an unmarked grave, hoping possibly to be forgotten. But those who came after him are unwilling to let him go—from 300 years ago, Aurangzeb is dragged into the battles of the present, waged in school textbooks, and in the naming of roads. That, perhaps, is the fate of all emperors but thanks to a "soul vulture" called Audrey, we can at least now view the man in his own context and in the terms of his time.
Manu S. Pillai is the author of The Ivory Throne: Chronicles Of The House Of Travancore. Medium Rare is a weekly column on society, politics and history.

Q: Save field created in table HABTM How I can save the date of creation of an element in CakePHP HABTM table, I tried to use the created field, as is normal in the other tables, but this does not work.
I've also tried to saved one dateTime in my controller doing this:
$data = array ('created' => date ('Y-m-d H:i:s "));
$this->model->UpdateAll($data,$conditions);

But it not works, It have one sql error in H:I:S
 MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '12:56:32'

Does anyone know any way to do this?

A: You can create a separate model for your connection table. For instance if you have a model users and a model posts and users HABTM posts, then you also have a table usersposts. You can create the model userposts, assign to the user model a new relation hasMany userposts and finally from the users controller call:

    $data = array ('created' => date ('Y-m-d H:i:s'));
    $this->User->UsersPosts->save($data);

A: I found the solution to the error in the database when inserting a date:
$time = "'". date (' Y-m-d H: i: s '). "'";
$data = array ('created' => $time);
$this-> model-> UpdateAll ($ data, $ conditions);

But I have not found the solution for the autocomplete create field in table HABTM

Q: Rest Server on iOS device using Swift I need a way to have an iOS application that can accept a message on a device connected via USB, query a bunch of data about the device and return a response with this data.
I am brand new to iOS and swift development so I need something that is;

*

*Simple

*Uses CocoaPods (due to lack of ios support in Swift Package Manager)

*NOT require distribution via the App Store (which I believe rules out using APN)

I have tried the following:

*

*BlueSocket: https://github.com/IBM-Swift/BlueSocket
This can probably do the job but is very low level and require lots of work around handling buffer sizes, etc.  So a REST solution might be a better

*Kitura: https://www.kitura.io/
This seems ideal.  However, it only appears to support Swift Package Manager which makes it a big PITA to implement currently (reminder; swift/ios newb here)

*CoacoaHttpServer: https://github.com/robbiehanson/CocoaHTTPServer
This looks ok, however I can only find Objective-C examples.  Would prefer to have something that includes solid Swift examples (also, the repo doesn't look like it's been updated since 2015)
Are there any other approaches I should consider that I haven't listed here?

A: You may want to check https://github.com/IBM-Swift/Kitura-HelloWorld-iOS.
I wrote a couple of blog posts about it https://developer.ibm.com/swift/2017/03/13/kitura-ios/, https://developer.ibm.com/swift/2017/12/08/kitura-ios-part2/.
Note that it is a demo repository, I do not know if IBM will support Kitura on iOS (it is supported on Linux).


Tjukurti Tjakamarra is one of the lesser known painters at Papunya at the start of the Aboriginal art movement. In the early part of his career, he painted some magical paintings on Composition board. His Early paintings were less than 60 cm x 60 cm. Many of his early works are ritual and contain secret imagery meant only for the eyes of initiated men.
His later works are on Canvass but he maintains a high standard and precise linework.
The aim of this article is to assist readers in identifying if their Aboriginal painting is by Tjukurti Tjakamarra. It compares examples of his work. It also gives some background to the life of this fascinating artist.
If you have a Tjukurti Tjakamarra Aboriginal painting to sell please contact me. If you want to know what your Tjukurti Tjakamarra painting is worth please feel free to send me a Jpeg. I would love to see it.
Tjukurti Tjakamarra Was born around 1932 in the Pollock Hills. For the first half of his life, he lived a nomadic, hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Initiated into Pintupi custom he was a keeper of storylines.
He and his family were mostly based along the western shore of Lake Mackay. They often traveled with another group and these families became some of the last nomadic groups left in the desert.
In 1963, Tjukurti Tjakamarra decided that he would go and join his relatives, who were living at Papunya settlement. Papunya is traditionally Luritja land, but the Pintupi had become displaced by nuclear weapons tests. West and his family walked to Papunya and met the welfare officers on the way. Freddy West Tjakamarra by this time had two wives: Parara and Payu who had family in Papunya.
Tjukurti Tjakamarra was an early member of Geoffrey Bardon's men's painting group. In 1972 Freddy along with other artists like John Tjakamarra Yala Yala and Long Jack became founding members and initial shareholders of Papunya Tula. Papunya Tula was a company owned by aboriginals to assist with aboriginal art sales.
Papunya was a hectic place with many clans and west did not stay in the main settlement for long. Instead, he moved and painted at a place called Yayayi. Yayayi was a small outstation 40 kilometers from Papunya. Several other artists were also based at Yayavi including John Tjakamarra and Yala Yala Gibbs. Peter Fannin would drive out to Yayayi to deliver painting supplies and pick up pieces of art for sale.
Yayayi artists would often work together on joint artworks. They would sit on all sides of a canvass completing sections.
One of Tjukurti Tjakamarra's joint artworks made it into Australian Perspecta in 1981. This was an important moment in the legitimization of Western Desert painting by the art establishment. It caused international interest and became a catalyst for a re-appraisal of the identity of Australian art.
Tjukurti Tjakamarra campaigned strongly within the Pintupi community for his clansmen to leave Papunya. He felt they should return to their traditional country in the west. In 1981 he leads 300 Pintupi people back west and set up the community of Kintore.

David J. Helfand

Ryan Kelsey
David Helfand discusses how his kernel of an idea to improve an electromagnet spectrum analogy back in 1999-2000 led to the Columbia Center for New Media Technology and Learning's (CCNMTL) substantial role in the creation of "Frontiers of Science," a new course in Columbia College's core curriculum. He outlines in detail how the Center played an instrumental role in the creation of the course text, Scientific Habits of Mind, and the design and execution of the course's educational principles as well as the logistics of implementing a lecture-seminar combination course for over 500 students each semester. Helfand emphasizes how CourseWorks not only allows for seamless communication and document sharing between students and faculty, but also how it allows unique collaborations amongst the faculty as the course is carried out week by week. Along with Ryan Kelsey, he also discusses the ongoing evaluation work and feedback process involved in improving the course from year to year. David Klatell discusses CCNMTL's role in helping the Graduate School of Journalism rethink its teaching practices through the use of the case study method enhanced by technology. Through a demonstration of "Building the Front Page of the Washington Post," the first case jointly created by CCNMTL and the Journalism School, he outlines how placing control of the classroom in the hands of students was an important goal for their new Master's program. He emphasizes the challenges of working with a unique group of faculty, who are typically from the professional world, as well as the effort required to build cases with real value for a field that has never tried this method of teaching. He ends by setting a goal for the creation of a new case study authoring office inside the Journalism School.

Sony's new wireless earbuds include noise cancellation technology
Sony has headphones for everyone. Seriously, they have neckbuds, earbuds, and over-the-ear headphones. The company is debuting three new models in the 1000X family at IFA in Berlin today to follow up on the success and positive reception of its noise-cancelling 1000X headphones. It's introducing the similarly-named wireless WF-1000X, the behind-the-neck WI-1000X, and the WH-1000XM2 headphones. All of these models feature noise cancellation, but that's most appealing to me on the wireless WF-1000X, which are basically Sony's take on AirPods and "truly wireless" earpods.
The earbuds get around three hours of battery life, according to Sony, although their charging case can hold an additional two charges, meaning you'll have nine hours of use. A full charge takes an hour and a half with the case relying on a microUSB for charging. While Apple's AirPods can be tracked, Sony says that isn't the case with its product. You'll have to buy a whole new set or case if you lose them. The earbuds each have a button, one to enable ambient sound and the other to take phone calls.
I questioned Sony's decision to release both wireless earbuds and neckbuds. The industry is trending toward wireless with AirPods and other smart earbuds from companies like Bragi and Here One, so why neckbuds? Sony tells me it wants to give consumers choice, but also ultimately, neckbuds hold a longer charge than earbuds, so if you're on a long flight, they might be the better choice. (The WI-1000X should get 14 hours of life.)
All the headphone models go on sale in September. The WF-1000X will cost $199.99; the WI-1000X will cost $299.99; and the WH-1000XM2 will cost $349.99. They all can be controlled through Sony's new Headphones Connect app.

Chris Tucker was only paid $10,000 for 'Friday' role
At the time, the comedian said he just wanted "the opportunity."
Friday fans still imitate Chris Tucker's hilarious portrayal of Smokey, but many will be surprised by how much money he actually made from the role. Speaking with Shannon Sharpe on "Club Shay Shay," Tucker revealed that although the cult classic has been praised as comedy gold for years, it wasn't exactly a cash cow for those who signed onto the project.
"It's one of those things… it was just a small movie," Tucker said. "We filmed it in 20 days. I got about $10,000 for it or whatever; I didn't care. I wanted the opportunity."
While Sharpe was shocked that Tucker earned so little from the role, Tucker explained that the film's whole budget was only $2 to $3 million.
"It was either $2 million or $3 million to do," he said. "I know we had 20 days [to film it] because they kept reminding me every day."
Tucker added that the production team also kept costs low by only giving actors two takes; meaning Tucker had to get his lines exactly right in just two tries or they would cut it from the script.
"It was that small of a movie, but that was the beauty of it," he added. "It allowed me to get into character. It wasn't no big distractions like big movie sets. You got light people and sound people and everybody wanna be a star. But that movie was just a camera and me and [Ice] Cube on the porch. Magic came out of it, thank God."
Tucker also reminisced about working with his "best friend" Faizon Love, who played Big Worm.
"The beauty about the scene with me and Big Worm, me and Faizon Love, was we were best friends," he said. "So, we clowned around all day every day, going to comedy clubs at night. So, it was really easy to work with him… because we were friends."
Tucker also called Bernie Mac, who played Pastor Clever, one of his "heroes" and described what it was like working with the beloved John Witherspoon and Ice Cube.
"Watching John Witherspoon and growing up with Cube's music… every time I was with them I was excited and it was just easy to do," he said.
Tucker added that at the time of filming, he had no idea that Friday would blow up to be the comedy classic that it's now revered as.
"Sometimes when God bless you, man, he bless you more than you can even dream and that was one of those things," he said.

Berman: He's a Regular Guy Living a Fantasy : Announcing: He twice has been named national sportscaster of the year; he is the only man on cable to garner such a distinction.
By MICHAEL ARACE
BRISTOL, Conn. —
The Beatles and the Rolling Stones: You like them both, but you can only love one. Think about it.
The theory belongs to Chris Berman. "And I know it's true," he says. "You can only love one of them."
Beatles or Stones, a good subject for tonight's Breakdown Segment. On one hand we have the multileveled poetry of John Lennon melded with the mass appeal of Paul McCartney. On the other, we have the hard edge of Keith Richards' guitar riffs coupled with Mick Jagger's off-beat vocal stylings.
"Go ahead," Berman says, "guess which one I love."
Beatles or Stones. An elemental question, but nothing too heavy.
It's pure Berman. He is elemental. And, outside a minor paunch and a rapidly expanding billfold, there's nothing heavy about him.
Berman, 38, reportedly earns between $500,000 and $600,000 a year delivering sports news for ESPN, the all-sports cable beast based in the Mum City. (If Berman's there, can it be the Mum City?)
Berman may as much as double his salary by serving as a pitchman for such companies as Anheuser-Busch and Texaco, two outfits that know their liquids.
Berman, sports, beer and gas. Modern American staples. To quote Jagger: I know, it's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it, I like it, yes I do.
Way back-back-back when, some 14 years ago, Berman went from a dual local role (Waterbury, Conn. radio reporter/late-night sports anchor at WVIT, Channel 30) to overnight cult hero at ESPN. He pulled this stunt by spouting rock 'n' roll lyrics and brandishing nicknames at 2:30 a.m. He called himself "a nightlight for new fathers," but he had a voice to rouse a dog from the hearth on a cold winter morn.
"Try this test," ESPN anchor Keith Olbermann says. "When Chris is on, turn down your TV and open your window. You will hear him. The microphone is nothing but a prop."
The Boomer twice has been named national sportscaster of the year; he is the only man on cable to garner such a distinction. And now that NBC's Bob Costas has branched into other areas, Berman is perhaps the most recognizable sportscaster currently holding a microphone.
"I wish my life was a nonstop Hollywood movie show," Berman says, quoting Ray Davies of The Kinks and the song "Celluloid Heroes."
Berman pauses, then adds, "It kind of is, isn't it?"
Yes. He is a regular guy living his fantasy. Right now, he is sitting at a desk in a building somewhere on ESPN's sprawling campus headquarters in the Usually Mum City. He has just taped some stuff for later use. His tie is gone; his jacket is gone, but his voice is still there. He is coming to the end of an hour-plus interview. He already has called home, talked to his kids (Meredith, 7, and Douglas, 6) about soccer practice and promised to be there for tuck-in. He's close to being on schedule.
"When you see me on TV, I'm being me," he says. "I hope people don't see me as a complex person. I don't pretend everybody likes me. But from the vibes I get, I think people believe I'm approachable. I'm kind of a champion of our generation, maybe . . . "
That last thought frightens Berman, who is not trying to sound boastful. Indeed, the secret to Berman's appeal is such that if his ego went unchecked, he might still be doing traffic reports on Route 8.
He is a champion of sorts. These are times when Luke and Murphy Jensen, French Open doubles champions, ride around on a Harley with electric guitars slung on their backs. Berman seems naturally calibrated for attitudes today.
It does take a certain mikesmanship to make 23 references to different Bob Dylan songs in the course of an hourlong "SportsCenter"--as he and John Saunders once did--and sell it to a nationwide audience in need of auto racing results.
"Chris is like one of them--an average, loudmouthed sports fan. It's just that his references are very intricate," says Olbermann, who has known Berman since their prep school days at the Hackley School in Tarrytown, N.Y., in the early 1970s.
"Now, there's an old theory which says that references and associations are the function of the number of tendrils there are in the neural centers of one's brain. The tendrils can look like a hand with five fingers sticking out, or they can look like a leaf with 105 sticking out.
"Well, Chris has a very leafy brain, and he also has a sophistication. If he was just doing what he does and he didn't know what he was talking about, then he would just be a yahoo. But he has that expertise, and therefore it sells."
Berman can intersperse a lyric from Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues" into a play at the plate, and make it work. Leafy brain.
"I'm 38, so I guess people anywhere from, say, 10 to 50 years old kind of get it," Berman says. "It's very scary to think that my sense of humor is being transcended over the country. I'm not saying it's being emulated or taken wholesale as being funny; I'm not a stand-up comic. I hit my spots and run with it. But again, it would be scary to think that there are other me's out there."
As Pete Townshend once queried: Who are you?
"I'm kinda boring," Berman says. "I don't fly a plane; I don't go deep-sea diving. I like swimming, but that's hardly headline material. You could probably guess that I like to crank up the tunes, but really, I can't think of anything I do that's all that exciting."
Berman met his wife, the former Kathy Alexinski, when the big galoot faked car trouble just for the opportunity to ask Kathy for her help--and a breakfast date. Ten years later, the Bermans have a very, very, very fine house in Cheshire. They swim with the kids in the pool and play street hockey in the driveway. They crank the tunes.
Same as ever. He still has just one suit, for use at weddings, funerals and interviews with Pete Rozelle. He still eats Cap'n Crunch and drinks Diet Coke at breakfast. When asked about any quirks in his lifestyle, Berman has to think a long time before saying that he hardly watches TV. Scandalous.
"Not that I'm an iconoclast living on Walden Pond, but I prefer being in a theater with the big screen and the popcorn," he says. "TV, I watch what my kids watch. They like 'Get Smart,' and I think that's cool. I like being in the kitchen and hearing them yell, from the other room, 'Hey Dad, F Troop's on."'
Berman grew up in suburban Rye, N.Y., listening to a young Don Imus. Berman's father, Jim, was a mechanical contractor with season tickets to the Jets; his mother, Peggy, a Time magazine researcher. Both retired, they have lived in Greenwich 20 years. There, Berman's vast collection of souvenir game programs remain in storage.
"The style, the Boom quality about Chris, was there in the formative years, no question," Olbermann says. "We used nicknames to sign our articles in the (student) newspaper. He would use Ilie Nastase. It was sort of an embryonic version of the nickname gig, I think. That's probably where he started. The basketball pieces, he used to sign Clifford Ray."
Berman played tennis at the Hackley School, and Nastase was his hero. He also played basketball, and he favored Ray for reasons he can't quite explain. Berman says he was a "pretty good" goalie on the soccer team. Back then, he was 6 foot 5 and under 200 pounds. (He's still 6-5, and growing).
His idol of idols was Joe Namath, who Berman emulated by growing his hair. His team of teams was the San Francisco Giants; to this day, his scant memorabilia collection includes only four autographed baseballs: Mays, Marichal, McCovey and Cepeda.
"This last month," he says, "is killing me."
At Brown University, where he was forced to like the Red Sox, Berman majored in history and general collegiate behavior. "Oh man," he says, "that Dire Straits song, 'Heavy Fuel,' that would have been a great song for me in college."
There followed stints at radio stations in Providence and Waterbury and then in 1979, just over a year removed from college, he got his shot at the nascent sports station, ESPN. It was the first of his two marriages.
"I always wanted to be a U.S. senator--the idea of being one of 100 always intrigued me--or a rock 'n' roll star," Berman says. "You might go, 'Ha-ha, that's a great answer.' But seriously, what would I do if I weren't a sportscaster? Thank God I don't have to find out. Not yet, anyway."
At ESPN, he had the space to develop his unique interpersonal skills, which he somehow has honed to reach millions of viewers at any given moment. From the start, there were nicknames, and there was rock 'n' roll. Excuse him now, while he kisses the sky.
He is the Oppenheimer of the award-winning "NFL GameDay." He also hosts "NFL PrimeTime" and "Baseball Tonight." He even gets to do play-by-play for Giants games once in a while. Even NBC, which came calling with a reported $800,000-a-year offer, couldn't take him away. It's not worth missing all the football and the Giants games.


'Tis the season! I'm not quite roasting chestnuts by an open fire, but I am making this creamy roasted chestnut soup!
I'm very excited to share this chestnut soup because it just screams Christmas! And I don't know about you guys, but I am in full swing with all things festive.
Christmas is just 10 days away, so I think it's safe to say everyone's in the mood for cozy soups, holiday meals, and lots and lots of cookies (like these pistachio shortbread cookie sandwiches).
It's finally getting really cold here, unlike November which was oddly warm. So, a large bowl of soup is definitely in order!
This chestnut soup is creamy, rich, and the perfect thing to eat by the fire on a chilly night.
The soup itself is very straightforward and easy to make. You basically simmer everything together, blend, and then add cream at the end…with some buttery mushrooms for garnish.
The thing is, I roasted the chestnuts myself, which may sound intimidating, but I always love doing as much from scratch as possible.
I think you can definitely get roasted chestnuts in a jar at Whole Foods (or probably any other grocery store), but I think roasting the chestnuts makes this even more perfect for Christmas time.
Here's a breakdown of what you'll need to do….
1. Score the chestnuts by using a small, sharp knife to cut an X onto the round side of each chestnut.
2. Toss with olive oil, coarse salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves.
3. Roast for 30 minutes at 450°F, lowering the heat after 20 minutes to 425°F.
5. Peel the chestnuts when they are still warm.
It takes a little bit of time to score each chestnut and peel them, but it's honestly a pretty simple process. Do be very careful when scoring them, though. Make sure you work carefully so that your knife doesn't slip.
I think I'll be making this soup again over the weekend, maybe alongside this frisee salad for the perfect lunch!
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Use a small, sharp paring knife to score the chestnuts, cutting a small X on the rounded side of the chestnut. Once scored, place the chestnuts in a mixing bowl. Drizzle them with a generous amount of olive oil to coat them well. Strip the leaves off the thyme sprigs into the bowl. Season with salt and black pepper. Toss the chestnuts until fully incorporated. Spread the chestnuts onto a foil-lined baking sheet. Roast the chestnuts, X side up, for 20 minutes. Lower the heat to 425°F and continue to roast for 10 more minutes.
Let the chestnuts cool slightly so that they are cool enough to handle, but still warm. Peel the chestnuts, discarding the ones that have turned bad. You will need 8 ounces of peeled chestnuts for the soup.
Heat a large, heavy-bottom pot over medium heat. Add the butter and let melt. Add the leeks. Saute for a few minutes until tender. Add the parsnips and chestnuts. Stir to combine. Season with salt and black pepper. Deglaze the pan with the cooking sherry. Cook for about 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and fresh thyme. Bring the soup to a simmer. Cover the pot and let simmer for about 35 minutes. Remove the cover and continue to simmer for 5 more minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs.
Working in two batches, ladle the soup into a blender. Blend each batch of soup for 1 minute, or until completely smooth. Pour the soup into a large bowl or another pot. Stir in the cream. Season with salt to taste. Keep warm.
Meanwhile heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and bring to a sizzle. Add the mushrooms. Saute for about 4-5 minutes until golden and tender. Season with salt to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls. Add a spoonful of mushrooms on top of the soup. Drizzle in a touch of heavy cream. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and freshly cracked black pepper.
Thanks so much Albert!! I really appreciate it. And I completely agree…this would be great all winter long!
Stunning photography and beautiful looking recipe.
Thank you SO much. I really, really appreciate it!!
I made this soup for a neighborhood soup swap party earlier this month. It was a big hit! I used local chestnuts and chanterelle mushrooms, I'll definitely add it to the fall soup menu. Great photography too. Much appreciated.
Makes me so happy to hear, Bruce! Thank you so much for the kind feedback, and I'm really glad it was a hit! I bet the chanterelles were beautiful.

Videos of Gil Ofarim are rated – BZ Berlin
germany / By germany
BZ / dpa
Video of the incident is currently being assessed following accusations by singer Gil Ofarim of anti-Semitism against employees at a Leipzig hotel.
"Surveillance cameras secured several videos," a spokesman for the German press office in Leipzig said on Sunday. The evaluation has not yet been completed, so no information can be provided on the content.
BILD has already reported that surveillance videos can raise questions about the events described and also relate to investigative circles.
Accordingly, the chain with the Star of David should not be clearly visible in the videos. "What exactly can be seen in the video is part of an ongoing investigation," a police spokeswoman at the Leipzig police headquarters said at the request.
BILD am Sonntag quoted the singer as follows: "The sentence that came up came from behind. That means someone recognized me. It's not about the chain. It's actually about something much bigger. Because they can often see me on TV with the Star of David, I was offended by that. "
► Gil Ofarim rejected at the Leipzig Hotel because of the Star of David
► Incident with anti-Semitism involving Gil Ofarim – none of the other guests helped
Ofarim described in a video in early October that an employee of "The Westin Leipzig" asked him to remove his necklace with the Star of David. Ofarim is the son of Israeli musician Abi Ofarim (1937-2018) and grew up in Germany. Ofarim complained.
The Leipzig Public Prosecutor's Office has received several reports of the incident – including from a hotel employee accused of defamation. According to previous claims, he describes events differently than the artist.

With the acute emergency phase ending, MSF scales down activities in Lebanon
Project Update24 August 2006
One week after the ceasefire came into effect, the acute phase of the humanitarian emergency is ending. A vast majority of the displaced people have returned home and Lebanese society is providing most of the assistance.
In this context, MSF has started to scale down its activity but continues to monitor what is still a fragile situation.
These past days, MSF teams have been distributing relief goods to returnees and people who stayed behind in the most affected areas of south Lebanon and the eastern Bekaa Valley. They are also working to ensure water supply in heavily damaged villages and continue to support clinics and hospitals through drug donations.
Operating from Jezzine, a team has been monitoring the situation, evaluating needs and distributing relief items and medical material in villages close to the southeastern border, from Aadaisse to Blida. With Lebanese doctors present in the region, medical needs are rapidly diminishing. The team is also following up the situation in Jezzine district and the lower Bekaa Valley. In this region, about 25,000 displaced people have received relief items such as mattresses, baby milk formula and hygiene kits.
In the coming days, an MSF team based out of Tyre (Sour) will continue to evaluate needs in the region south of the Litani River. In Aita ech Chaab, Aitaroun and Aainata, a group of severely damaged villages along the border with Israel, the team distributed relief items such as hygiene and cooking sets, sheets, blankets and some tents. It also installed water tanks in villages where the water supply system was destroyed. Drug donations to several clinics and hospitals in the region, such as Bent Jbail and Tibnin, are currently being maintained.
As most displaced have now returned home, MSF has stopped operating its fixed clinic in Saada (Sidon) and will do so in Sour (Tyre) this week. Previously, MSF teams had distributed hygiene and cooking kits as well as blankets, bed sheets and baby milk formula to about 23,000 displaced people in and around Sour and SaÃ?¯da.
The more than 100,000 internally displaced people that sought refuge in Beirut began returning immediately after the ceasefire came into effect. Almost all collective centres are now empty. As a result the medical and psychosocial care administered by mobile teams has ended.
In Beirut's southern suburbs, which came under heavy bombardment, MSF is supporting a clinic, assessing how badly damaged medical structures are and whether further assistance is needed.
In Baalbek, MSF continues to support the government hospital through drug donations. A team has distributed 1'500 hygiene kits, 500 cooking sets and some blankets and tents to displaced people in the city and the surrounding villages. In the coming days a medical team will assess the needs in villages north of Baalbek. In addition, a team made up of a psychiatric and psychologist are assessing the mental health situation of the population in the area.
Almost all displaced people who had sought refuge in the Aley region (Chouf mountain) have returned home. MSF has therefore ended the provision of drugs to patients with chronic illnesses and finished the distribution of relief items. MSF provided emergency aid to about 10,000 displaced people in the area, offered medical care through clinics as well as home visits, and supplied drugs to the hospital in Aley and several other clinics.
Throughout the conflict, MSF teams have been distributing relief goods to the most needy. In total, close to 60,000 displaced in Lebanon and 8,500 refugees in Syria have received non food items such as cooking equipment, mattresses, blankets, stoves, and hygiene kits containing soap, razors, toothbrushes etc.
So far, more than 300 tones of material has been sent to Beirut and distributed to the different areas where MSF teams are working. This material is mainly composed of non food items, medical materials (material for dialysis, medicines, surgical kits, etc.) and logistical materials (sanitation equipment, water bladders, cars, etc.)

Q: Sharing an object between multiple threads java I would like to be able to run two methods at the same time that rely on the same global variable. The first method periodically updates the shared variable, but never finishes running. The second method keeps track of time. When time runs out, the second method returns the last result of the shared variable from the first method. Below is what I have so far, with commented out pseduocode in the places where I need help.
package learning;

I should also mention that the "volatile" keyword works for (most) primitives, since any JVM you'll see these days guarantees they will be modified atomically. This is not the case for objects, and you will need to use synchronized blocks and locks to ensure they are always "seen" in a consistent state.
Most people will also mention that you really should not use the synchronized keyword on the method itself, and instead synchronize on a specific "lock" object. And generally this lock object should not be visible outside your code. This helps prevent people from using your code incorrectly, getting themselves into trouble, and then trying to blame you. :)
