Phil Burgess, NHRA National Dragster Editor
The 65th annual Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals is coming up, and promises to be a celebration of the event's long and rich history. In the months leading up the event, I'll chronicle some of the great stories that made Indy the world's biggest and most important drag racing event.
One race does not a career make, but if there were ever a person who could say that one race win changed the course of their career, it would be Marvin Graham.
Graham came almost from nowhere to win Top Fuel at the 1974 U.S. Nationals, a victory at the sport's biggest, toughest event, and most prestigious that was so stunning that it earned him the nickname "Who?" after National Dragster asked the question "Marvin Who?".
The victory catapulted the relatively unknown 32-year-old Oklahoma City television repairman into the national spotlight and opened future doors that allowed him to become a full-time racer and world championship contender and a prime example of the magic of Indy.
The improbable nature of the story is so deeply layered in grit and determination and perseverance that helps make Graham a poster child for everything that a U.S. Nationals victory should be.
Even though he had been racing in Top Fuel since 1967, until the 1974 U.S. Nationals, Graham had attended only one other NHRA national event. From 1967 through 1972, Graham never strayed far from home, running in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, and Missouri -- even Louisiana was a bit of a hike.
After parting company with longtime partner Leon Grooms prior to the 1973 season, Graham set out on his own, and made the unprecedented decision to tow his new dragster to Bristol Dragway in Tennessee for the IHRA All-American Nationals in 1973, where he was the surprise runner-up behind Pat Dakin.
"That's the furthest east I'd been from Oklahoma, and all of the heavy hitters were there," he remembers. "We didn't win the race, but it did prove to me that I could fight with the big boys and do all right."
To make ends meet, Graham split time between his racing and the family television repair business, Graham Radio and Television, a small one-man operation in small-town Britton, Okla., an Oklahoma City suburb that had been a map dot gas stop on famed Route 66 until 1953. Graham, who had no formal education in television repair, left his job in the auto parts world to take over the business after his father suffered a heart attack. Yet, armed with the knowledge he had absorbed being around his father, and being generally good with his hands, he picked it up quickly.
His team wasn't big -- usually just him, crew chief Chester Garris (pictured with him at right), and local boy Steve Hodkinson (who also would go on to become a nitro racer) -– but they made it work. With every run, every event, they gained experienced and cast an eye on Indy.
Well-known California engine empresario Mike Kuhl, who with driver Carl Olson had one of the strongest cars on the West Coast and were fresh off one of their biggest wins at the March Meet, talked Graham into upgrading to a 3/8-stroke engine in preparation for the Big Go, and offered to bring the parts -- including the shiny new Velasco crank, rods, and pistons -- east with them, stopping over at Graham's shop on their own way to Indy.
When they arrived they found Graham suffering from a nasty case of flu and hedging his bets about even going to the race.
Recalls Olson, "Kuhl managed to round up what he needed, and we loaded it into our trailer and headed to Indiana. We stopped off at Marvin's place to deliver the parts but Marvin said that he doubted he'd be healthy enough to put a motor together and make it to Indy in time to qualify.
"Kuhl read him the riot act -- called him a weak suck, said that if he didn't make it to Indy after all the trouble we'd gone through to get him the parts that he'd never live it down All of this was said in the spirit of friendly verbal sparring, but there was definitely an underlying implication that failure to make it to Indy would be unacceptable for a true racer."
There's no pressure like the pressure a fellow racer and friend can put on you, so Graham swaddled himself in a blanket in the shop and instructed Garris and Hodkinson exactly what they had to do to get the car ready for Indy. Once the car was ready, they bundled him and his blanket in the sleeper portion of the crewcab and headed out for their appointment with destiny.
The 1974 U.S. Nationals was an umbrella salesman's wet dream. Rain cut qualifying to just a day and a half, and Graham and Garris earned a top-half qualifying spot with a 6.165 -– more than a tenth quicker than their previous career best of 6.30 -- good for the No. 10 spot in the 32-car field, but almost a tenth behind Jerry Ruth's field-leading 6.073.
The opening rounds were a field-favorite massacre. Points leader Dave Settles went up in smoke against Sarge Arciero and the Jade Grenade team, who came up with a bolt-from-the-blue 6.01 that ended up being low e.t. of the meet. Larry Dixon Sr. dethroned "the King" with a sizable 6.20 to 6.24 holeshot win.
Gary Beck, who had his own semi-"Who?" moment in winning the 1972 U.S. Nationals but then backed it up with another Indy win in 1973, battled tire vibration woes throughout qualifying and landed just 19th, then sheared the wheel studs on the Export A dragster in round one and lost a wheel at halftrack. Kuhl & Olson, runner-up to Beck the year before, had qualified their "Da Revell Fast Guys" entry a solid No. 4 at 6.09, but lost to No. 20 qualifier Grant Stoms.
Graham, meanwhile, began his march toward victory with a 6.19 to 6.42 conquest of Gary Hazen's "Panic!" entry followed by a second-round 6.18 to defeat No. 2 qualifier Hank Johnson, who went up in smoke.
With nasty weather closing in, Graham uncorked his own surprise pass, a 6.08, to defeat Jim Herbert to advance to the semifinals. "It was misting so badly I had to use the back of my driving gloves to wipe my goggles clean," said Herbert, yet both drivers made full pulls with Graham getting the big win.
Not long after Dwight Hughes defeated Ted Wolf to join Graham, Funk. and R. Gaines Markley in the semifinals, the rain returned and put an end to the day's racing.
"Those were the days when you still had to take your rig out of the pits every night and back to the motel," recalls Graham. "It was raining and cold as hell, but we found an open gas station and rented his stall, backed the car in there and serviced it, then finally went back to the hotel.
"By that time, I wasn't deathly ill anymore and welcomed another day to recover. Even though the car had been running like a bandit before the rain, I don't remember us being concerned that the track had changed. We knew it would be clean, and in those days we didn't really worry as much about the heat of the track of any of that scientific stuff that goes on now. We just looked at the air-density meter and adjusted the fuel and the jets and went out there by the seat of our pants. Honestly, there was not a lot of stuff to tweak; those were simple days."
Markley, who had qualified just 21st, and Funk, the No. 3 qualifier with his Kentucky Moonshiners entry, went out first and Markley whipped Funk on a holeshot, 6.18 to 6.17. Graham matched that pace with a 6.18 of his own to defeat Hughes, who grenaded the blower off of the Berry Bros. & Hughes machine to put Graham into the biggest moment of his career.
"We were confident," he remembers. "We didn't really talk about it or let it get to us. We were just concentrating on what we were doing. We knew what the car was doing and adjusted according to conditions and just tried to treat it like any other race. I was a pretty phenomenal win. I was almost numb until we beat Gaines in the final. It didn't hit home until I had the Wally in my hands. It took a while to sink in."
The final was over early as Markley, runner-up at the 1973 season-ending World Finals in Ontario, Calif., went up in smoke shortly after this photo was taken and Graham powered to a steady 6.17 for the biggest win of his life, which netted him about $21,000 in cash and contingencies, a real windfall for him.
"For a guy from Oklahoma City that was a lot of money," he remembers. " I called home and told my mom I had won and she said, 'How much did you win? and I said '25' and she said '$2,500, that's a lot of money!' I said, 'No Mom, $25,000.'
"I had a little home in Britton, Okla., and I was able to move the family to a bigger house with some of the winnings," he added,
Graham earned his famous "Who?" nickname as soon as the Sept. 13, 1974 issue of National Dragster hit mailboxes across the country, thanks to this lead paragraph:
During the midst of Top Fuel eliminations at the 20th Annual U.S. Nationals, there were a lot of folks, contestants included, who were scratching their heads and mumbling, "Marvin Who?"
The article also concluded with this rather forward yet prescient proclamation: "at the conclusion of the event, there was no shadow of doubt in anyone's mind that Marvin Graham … had established himself as a major Top Fuel power."
As the record will show, he was far from a one-hit wonder.
For Marvin Graham, there will always be life before Indy 1974 and after Indy 1974, each memorable in their own right.
Graham got his start in racing in the 1960s, running a C/Dragster in Comp against the likes of Charlie Smith's killer Plain Vanilla entry. He graduated to Top Gas running 8.40s, but they stayed local as partner Grooms didn't like to travel.
That led to a weird twin- engined front-motored Top Fueler powered by a pair 289 Fords that ran in the 7.30s, followed by a more conventional 392-powered slingshot.
"Most of our stuff was handbuilt," Graham remembers. "Leon had a lot of talents and both of us were not bad with our hands. We had a shop behind his house that we called 'The Shack.' We hung out there there building street cars, which is where I learned how to weld. We learned on the fly; we even built our own foundry in the backyard and cast a lot of our own parts, like valve covers."
They built another front-engined car in 1973 and, in an effort to stave of the ultimately inevitable switch to a rear-engined car, they had the engine way out in the chassis –- about 43 inches when 28-20 might have been normal.
"Garlits was going with the rear-engine car but we were stubborn and thought we could build a car that was still competitive. We were wrong. Leon eventually decided he wanted to go sprint car racing, so I had Mike Stewart, a chassis builder in Oklahoma City, build me a rear-engine car."
That was life before the Indy win. As soon as he won Indy, the notoriety -– and more success –- followed swiftly.
"After I won Indy Bill Doner called me he was running the PDA race at Orange County [Int'l Raceway in Southern California] and they were offering a good deal of money, so I went out there and won it," he recalled. "I suddenly got a lot of booked-in races and got on the paid-in list for some of the AHRA events."
Graham seized on the momentum of his Indy win by winning the 1974 AHRA World Finals in Spokane, then struck again on the NHRA circuit at the 1975 Springnationals, a victory capped by a final-round victory over a first-time Top Fuel finalist: Shirley Muldowney. He finished the 1975 season an impressive third in points.
"One of my proudest things I have is a picture of my car at OCIR with No. 3 on it and the only names on it are mine a few small sponsors. I was always pretty proud to be No.3 in the whole world behind Garlits and Beck."
He won the PDA points title –- a three-race series that spanned Orange County, Seattle, and Portland –- and later added back to back wins at NHRA's stop in Montreal, in 1980 and '81 behind the wheel of Marc Danekas' TR-3 dragster. He threatened to win Indy again in 1980, where he was the low qualifier with a 5.68, which at the time was the fourth-quickest run ever and the quickest in about five years, but fell in the third round to Jeb Allen, and scored another runner-up in Seattle later that year. He also scored runner-ups at the Winternationals and Golden Gate Nationals in 1981.
He finished fourth in points both of those seasons and had a real shot at winning the 1981 title, which came down to a four-person race between eventual champ Jeb Allen, Beck, Johnny Abbott, and Graham, but Graham's bid ended when he smoked the tires in round one. His driving career ended early the next season when his ride in Ray Fischer's dragster ran out of funding.
Graham ended up in the movie business –- he was the technical adviser and played Connie Kalitta's crew chief in the 1983 Muldowney biopic Heart Like A Wheel –- and did a lot of other wheelwork driving camera cars in films afterward and got into the transportation side of the industry.
Still, he'll never forget that it was drag racing -– Indy in particular -– that really put his name in lights.
"Without winning Indy, I don't know where I would have been or what would have happened after that," he admits. "I got that nickname from it that has stuck with me all of these years.
"I didn't like the nickname at first because I knew who I was and I was pretty confident in my abilities but in retrospect it's kept my name alive all these years."

Rally against the far-right threat to Nanaimo's Discontent City, Sunday August 5th (Pic. Flux Photo / Murray Bush)
AnalysisFeatured
"The City doesn't care if we die or not": Discontent City confronts municipal fascism in the form of a draconian fire order
By Ivan Drury	 On Aug 8, 2018
On Thursday July 26th, campers and supporters responded to Nanaimo Fire Chief Karen Fry's threats against the city's two-month old homeless camp, called Discontent City, with a rally against the punitive and unreasonable fire order. Discontent City residents and supporters, including friends from the allied Anita Place tent city in Maple Ridge, declared that they would block the gate and not allow RCMP or Fire officials into the camp until the City agreed to work with Provincial resources to make the camp safer, and back off from the Fire Chief's threat to strip campers of essential shelter in the name of safety. By the end of the day Thursday, the City of Nanaimo had retreated from its threat to arrest anyone in camp who had a tarp over their tent, telling Discontent City's lawyer that instead they will work with BC Housing to make the camp safer. One week after the City's unenthusiastic showing at their application for a displacement injunction from BC Supreme Court, the Fire Chief tried to circumvent the judge's delayed decision with a show of force against the camp – but the resistance of allied tent city communities and supporters exposed and blocked the Fire Chief's maneuver… for a moment.
The City of Nanaimo then applied for a Supreme Court hearing for an even more draconian enforcement order. With the fraudulent claim that the camp is refusing to follow the court order, and naming Discontent City's resistance to the punitive move to expose homeless people to the naked sun in an open lot during a heat wave, the City is applying for extraordinary police power to force the camp into compliance on their terms. Fire Chief Fry and City Council are applying for the court to award individual RCMP officers the discretionary power to enter private tents at any time of day or night and remove and arrest residents who they decide are not compliant with the fire order for contempt of court. With a camp occupant in custody, the enforcement order would give police and city officials the power to force a campsite into compliance. This application will be heard in court on August 13th.
Tent city activists struck at an internal contradiction in the Canadian state's approach to policing homelessness in order to push back the City of Nanaimo's attempt to displace Discontent City. After Supreme Court Justice Ronald Skolrood issued an order that the camp comply with Fire Chief Karen Fry's fire safety order within one week, two arms of Provincial government power began moving in contradiction with each other. BC Housing, the soft power that manages homeless and low-income people with social workers and basic survival resources, promised resources to meet the fire order. The contradiction Discontent City pointed to was that if Fire Chief Karen Fry was telling the truth and tent city residents with tarps over their tents were really in danger of death by fire, then BC Housing was negligent. If the danger was not so bad that fire safe options could wait then Fire Chief Fry's order was motivated by local politics, not fire safety. Discontent City was able to take advantage of the contradiction between the BC government's arms of hard and soft power; their mobilization pushed Chief Fry's brutality out of the shadows of small-city politics by elevating Nanaimo's homelessness struggles into a part of the housing and homelessness crisis in British Columbia as a whole.
Rather than build housing in order to end homelessness – a policy shift that would also require commitments from senior levels of government – City politicians are increasingly turning to the hard power of police, bylaw officers, and fire departments to criminalize, displace, and disorganize homeless and low-income communities. The politicization of fire departments is a result of this hard power solution to visible, organized, and resistant homeless communities that disrupt business as usual in cities and towns. Some Fire Chiefs, like Nanaimo's Karen Fry, seem eager to take on this politicized role, glad to expand their role in the political life of the city. Discontent City's tongue-in-cheek call to "Fire Chief Fry" is a direct response to this problem, because Fire Chiefs must be trusted in order to confront real problems of fire safety – for homeless people as well as the housed. The political decision to repress and displace the people who are victims of a crisis of inequality and homelessness is a fascist impulse that demonizes outsiders and enemies in order to avoid looking at the structural changes needed to end injustices and insecurities. The City of Nanaimo's treatment of hundreds of homeless people who are trying to survive and demanding just change carries with it a logic of municipal fascism. We should not be surprised that ringing this bell has summoned dedicated fascist mobs.
Bob, a resident of Discontent City, said that City officials had measured the temperature in his tent without a tarp and admitted that without the extra shelter his tent would be unliveable. But they still proceeded with a fire order to remove his shelter. He explained this by identifying the cold logic governing Nanaimo. "The City has no respect for our class of people, and really what it boils down to is that they don't care if we die or not," he said. "Maybe they even want us to."

A variety of communication tools for the Toward Zero Deaths program are available, and more are under development.
Marketing Toward Zero Deaths
The first step to improving the nation's traffic safety culture is to establish a TZD vision with key stakeholders. Once adopted by these stakeholders, the National Strategy on Highway Safety will direct the implementation of strategies and tactics that will, in turn, change attitudes and behaviors to reduce traffic fatalities. The TZD Strategic Communication Plan outlines this approach.
About the TZD Strategic Communication Plan
The TZD Strategic Communication Plan is a resource to support your efforts in creating a traffic safety culture.
The plan outlines suggested audiences and stakeholders and defines goals, objectives, tactics, timelines, milestones and measurement metrics. The national brand for Toward Zero Deaths is a key component of this document. The intent of the national brand is not to replace current zero-based state campaigns. Rather, it will support current campaigns while providing a consistency for others to develop organizational safety plans.
A mix of communication tools are outlined in the plan, such as webinars, podcasts, other presentations, newsletter articles, press event plans, news release templates, print and broadcast ads, etc. Methods for evaluation are suggested to assist you in evaluating and reporting progress.
Communications Implementation
How-to Guide: Implementing The TZD Strategic Communication Plan
This guide identifies elements of the TZD Strategic Communication Plan vital for promoting adoption and sustainability of the TZD approach at the state and local level. This guide also offers direction for identifying and targeting potential partners and for effectively tailoring communication messages that will motivate partners to implement the TZD strategies. It concludes by discussing how to use ambassadors—individuals who are well trained and armed with an engaging story—to effectively carry the TZD message out into the community to garner support, spark enthusiasm and bolster the ranks among potential partners and the public.
Toward Zero Deaths Style Guide
The following marketing guidelines should be followed for any marketing effort involving Toward Zero Deaths. This helps build the brand, which raises awareness and recall among stakeholders and the public. Feel free to use the Toward Zero Deaths logos to show your support of this national effort. Two versions of the logo have been created in order to fit the variety of organizations that may or may not already have an aggressive zero-based goal.
Toward Zero Deaths Colors
Remembering the lives lost in traffic crashes.
Each person's individual goal of zero deaths for his or her family and friends. It is the intent that with consistent use of the logo the color combination of yellow and black will become identifiable with TZD over time.
Toward Zero Deaths Full-Color Logo
TZD Philosophy Video
Our vision and our goal is to create a culture where traffic safety is considered in every decision—because even one life lost on our roads is unacceptable. Share this video to share the TZD vision.
What Should Be Our Goal?
We asked people a few questions about traffic safety. Their responses weren't scripted, but they all said the same thing in the end – Our goal should be zero. Share this video to help people understand the zero-based vision on a personal level.

Sound macroeconomic policies and prudent use of diamond revenues have made Botswana one of the fastest-growing countries in the world over the last 25 years, and it has now achieved middle-income status. Despite the government's efforts, however, the economy remains highly dependent on diamond exports, and the country continues to suffer from one of the highest HIV/AIDS infection rates in the world.

Go downfield
Freshman Calvin Ridley is a dynamic young receiver and he has an 81-yard touchdown catch this season, something he'll want to try and repeat against Michigan State. It's not a big secret that Alabama intends to line up and run right at teams with one of the most potent running attacks in the nation, but Michigan State has had success stopping other rushing attacks, including holding Ohio State's Ezekiel Elliott to just 33 yards on 12 carries. That means the Crimson Tide will likely need to throw the ball to win and going vertical to loosen up the Michigan State secondary could be the key to softening the rushing defense of the Spartans.
Make MSU one-dimensional
Connor Cook has had an outstanding career and he's been great in big games, but if the Alabama defensive front is able to tee off and come after the Spartans' quarterback, it could be a long day for Michigan State. To do that, the Crimson Tide will need to contain the rushing attack of the Spartans, one that has been led by a healthy offensive line and late-season surges from running backs LJ Scott and Gerald Holmes. If Alabama can corral Michigan State on the ground, like it has to far better running attacks all season, it will be in perfect position to turn the Spartans into predictable offense to defend.
Hang on to the ball
Michigan State is fourth in the nation in turnover margin, intercepting 15 passes this season and forcing 13 fumbles. It's hard to predict when a team will come up with turnovers, but Jake Coker has thrown eight interceptions this season and it will be vital for the fifth-year senior quarterback to take care of the ball. The Spartans took advantage in the Big Ten title game against Iowa, intercepting one pass in the end zone and forcing a fumble on the final play of the game.

CLASSICAL GUITARIST DANIEL ROEST lives and performs in Northern California. Roest ("roost"), of Folsom, CA, has given countless solo and ensemble performances in nearly every kind of venue. With a broad range of styles to select from, his performances shift gears through continents and periods, aimed at pleasing all ages. With performing, teaching and presenting, he's led a full life in the arts, putting his training and decades of experience to work.
Roest's concert are called "fun and entertaining," (Portland Classic Guitar Concert Series) and moving - "listening to him, we get the feeling that we are with one of the great players of the guitar." (Tiempo Latino). He heard and met Segovia at age 11 and went on to three degrees as a classical guitar major and participate in dozens of masterclasses with the world's best classical guitarists. In addition to running his own private studio and teaching at several colleges in the 90's, he presented classical guitarists and masterclasses for the South Bay Guitar Society, one of the largest in the country. After relocating to Folsom, he began leading the Sacramento Guitar Society, also one of the largest and active in the country. In addition to private teaching and performing, Roest has adjudicated guitar competitions and performances, led workshops and written numerous articles on teaching for Mel Bay's Guitar Sessions webzine.
Following legendary Spanish guitarist Andrés Segovia, Roest focused on the beauty of classical guitar. As President and Artistic Director and a founding member of the South Bay Guitar Society, Roest became involved in producing guitar concerts in and around San José. He presented a long list of competition winners and international touring artists and put San José on the map as a center of classical guitar excellence. SBGS became a non-profit under his tenure, winning grant support from local, regional and state arts agencies, presenting sell-out concerts and dozens of school visits. After relocating to Folsom, California in 2001, Roest joined and eventually led the Sacramento Guitar Society. A thriving concert series and a variety of programs were started. In 2017 he retired as President of Sacramento Guitar Society and remained Artistic Director through the 2018-19 Season.
Roest first saw Segovia at age 11 in Berkeley, having taken guitar lessons from age 6. He was then sent to study with the Maestro's late protégé Bunyan Webb, and entered college as an ambitious guitar major, eventually earning three degrees. He later taught guitar and music fundamentals at California State University Stanislaus, De Anza, Foothill and San Jose City Colleges and now maintains a full-time teaching studio in Folsom, CA. "Slow and steady wins the race," he reflects on the decades since. "Sometimes I pinch myself when I think of all the dads in my neighborhood and how they make their living and how I make mine. The commute to work is great - I walk from the kitchen to the front room!"
Though the Segovia tradition held strictly to unamplified nylon-string playing, Roest and many of his contemporaries prefer to amplify for increased dynamic range, if the venue calls for it. "I strive for the best musical experience for the entire audience," Roest says. "I remember seeing Segovia in a large hall in San Francisco, and I could barely hear him. Still, he was able to achieve a wonderful sense of intimacy, like you were in his living room, but were going deaf."
Did the Segovia model work out in the long term for Roest and his colleagues? "Segovia was truly the greatest classical guitarist of the last century, given his total impact on the guitar. The purity of his vision for the guitar, however, limits the potential of the instrument, and I and many others have moved on. Our repertoire is what works for modern audiences." He has learned first hand from many world class performers he presented during his time with the South Bay Guitar Society and since, including Laurence Juber, Peppino D'Agostino, Muriel Anderson, Paul Galbraith, Franco Morone, Richard Gilewitz, Michael Chapdelaine, Chris Proctor, Sharon Isbin, Carlos Barbosa-Lima, Alex de Grassi, Mimi Fox and many others. (See Guitarists Presented).
Roest noticed a distinct lack of real-world savvy in his undergraduate coursework. "Isn't College's promise to prepare you for life after college in your chosen profession?" he asks. "I can't tell you how many guitar majors quit the path some time after graduation. There were no business courses, no seminars on building a studio, getting gigs, managing a career. I learned many of my professional chops outside of the university environment, on my own." Roest enjoys sharing his hard-earned lessons with young guitarists who ask for advice. "If you can do it faster than I did, I'm delighted." His free MiniLessons and Columns share that experience.
Can a musician do well in both performing and teaching? Does the saying that 'those who can't, teach,' hold up? "You do take time away from one performing for the other, but they definitely help each other," Roest says. "And I certainly feel a pull in both directions. I like teaching, and my performing experience enhances my teaching. I come from what works for the listener. Both performing and teaching are things a musician can do into old age." Mel Bay Publications' online magazine, Guitar Sessions, invited Roest to contribute advice on teaching for guitar teachers, leading to a series of columns on teaching and performing.
Having CDs to sell comes late in Roest's career compared to most performers. "You have to understand the Segovia paradigm: absolute perfection. And the bar kept being set higher and higher with each new virtuoso to come from under his tutelage - Williams, Parkening, Lorimer, Barrueco, Fisk and many others - just Olympic calibre virtuosity. Then you go into the market and just disappear - a drop in an ocean of product, part of a tiny sliver of the recorded music pie." Roest solved the problem of getting representation and the costs of studio recording by building his own home recording studio. "I'm a tone hound - and the models I emulate are just gorgeous. The sound I'm getting out of this gear I have is really great, and I'm loving it." His Great Guitars! 2004 CD has received several Five Star reviews. His original solo composition, February 4th, was selected from hundreds of submissions by the ERMMedia "Masterworks of the New Era" CD series.
"My father had a double doctorate in anthropology and sociology," Roest notes, "so I guess it figures that I'd enjoy observing people like he did. My profession has given me an amazing variety of performing situations, and yet it seems like a parade is going by. And some of the settings are unique - like giving concerts aboard an Alaskan cruise ship, helping a guy propose to his love, being right there as a bride walks in to get married, playing to a packed concert audience at Lick Observatory an hour up a windy mountain road, playing at the Guitar Stage at San Jose's largest arts festival, and so many others."
Family life keeps Roest grounded, literally and figuratively. "I have presented dozens of touring artists, and many pay a price in their relationships," Roest observes. "I may not have made it to the biggest stages in the world, but I have found what's most important to me. Follow your passion, but have love in your life. Without it, the spirit suffers. I feel much more 'solid' as an individual now than before marriage and family. You can still practice late into the night, as I do, and enjoy your family during the non-vampire hours."
My mom took a college poetry-writing class in the 70's and came up with this winner. It reminds me how she paid for guitar lessons for me and was so encouraging and supportive along the way. I hope you enjoy it. If there's a lesson to be had here, it's to do with the value of having someone rooting for you.
Thrumming out music in the sunlight.
They might be carved of the same tree.
My son and his guitar.
At a very special event, 2015.

El Prat Airport records second-largest passenger grow in Europe
12.7% more passengers used Barcelona El Prat Airport's facilities during the first half of 2016 than in the same period last year. According to data released by the Airports Council International (ACI) and adding the figures corresponding to July, 25,028,393 people used El Prat's facilities in the first seven months of the year. Thus, Barcelona's airport has the second-largest passenger growth in group 1, which includes those airports with more than 25 million passengers per year, only behind that of Dublin, which registered 13.4% growth. However, in June, El Prat was the European airport which saw the highest increase in the number of passengers (10%) and its pace of growth was double that of the European airport average. According to ACI these good results are mainly due to the high amount of low-cost flights operated to and from El Prat, which was double the amount operated from Madrid. Moreover, the number of movements from January to July reached 117,326, which represents 6.5% more than in the same period last year.

Barcelona (CNA).- The number of passengers whom passed through Barcelona El Prat airport in the first six months of 2016 grew by 12.7% in comparison to the same period last year. This figure means the Catalan infrastructure was the second airport amongst the medium and big airports in Europe in terms of passenger growth, that is to say, amongst those which are used by 25 million passengers per year. Only Dublin registered higher growth, 13.4%. However, in June, El Prat was the European airport which saw the highest increase in the number of passengers and saw 10% growth, according to data released by the Airports Council International (ACI). Moreover, the Barcelona airport's pace of growth was double that of the European airportaverage. Adding the figures registered in July, 25,028,393 people used El Prat's facilities in the first seven months of the year.
ACI's report also showed that the main big airports in group 1, which includes those airports with more than 25 million passengers per year, have stalled. Heathrow, in London, Charles de Gaulle in Paris and Frankfurt didn't grow in comparison to last year. According to ACI, only 2 airports in this group of 5 grew, they are Schiphol in Amsterdam and Barajas, in Madrid. However, in terms of passengers growth, they are both below El Prat. Schiphol registered a 9.9% increase and Barajas an increase of 8.6%, while the number of passengers whom passed through Barcelona El Prat airport in the first six months of 2016 grew by 12.7%.
More than 4.5 million passengers passed through El Prat in July
The most recent figures, corresponding to July, show that 4,668,327 passengers passed through Barcelona El Prat airport over the course of the month, 9.6% more than in the same month in 2015, according to the Spanish Airport Authority (AENA). 75.5% of them, that is to say, 3.523 million, were international flight passengers, which represents 10.4% more than in July 2015. The number of passengers on domestic flights grew by 7.2% and that of intercontinental operations also registered an important increase. In particular, those which grew the most were flights to and from Latin America (38.8%) followed by Africa (25.5%) and North America (24.3%). Asia (12.75%) and the Middle East (10%) were some distance behind.
Regarding the number of operations registered at El Prat this July, this was 30,929; 5% more than in the same month last year. In total, the number of movements from January to July reached 117,326, which represents 6.5% more than in the same period last year.
In relation to freight traffic, July registered 10,413 tonnes, 0.2% higher than in July 2015. In the first seven months of 2016, freight traffic grew by 12%.

SFpark's wireless parking sensors provide parking occupancy data as well as the real-time parking availability information used on SFpark.org, the SFpark mobile apps, and the open data feed for other app developers.
Starting downtown during the week of May 7 and continuing into July, the SFMTA will install a small number of new and replacement sensors, as well as remove non-operational sensors.
SFpark will add sensors in 200 spaces to the 8,000 spaces that currently have sensors, for a total of 8,200. These new sensors are primarily going in the Financial District and Civic Center. In addition, sensors will be reinstalled in another 200 parking spaces where sensors had been removed during street work like repaving and construction.
Parking spaces will be closed for one to four hours. Only one side of the street will be closed at any given time.
Sensors are embedded into the street using an epoxy that requires about one hour to cure; once cured, the parking space closure signs are removed.
Sensor vendors will conduct the installations.
As part of the SFpark pilot project, the SFMTA tested parking sensors from multiple vendors of this new technology. In the coming weeks, one vendor will remove its equipment and dispose of it properly. The SFMTA did not pay for this equipment or its removal.
The vendor has both surface-mounted and embedded sensors that are located close to the travel lane. The surface-mounted sensors are off-white squares, and the embedded sensors appear as blue circles.
The vendor will attempt to minimize parking space closures. If closures are needed, spaces will be closed for one to four hours to remove the sensors and repair the pavement. Only one side of the street will be closed at a time, and parking space closure signs will be removed as soon as work is completed.
The SFMTA is coordinating maintenance on operational equipment during the same period.
SFpark will continue to use the reliable sensor data provided by its current vendor, whose sensors have been in place since before SFpark launched. These sensors appear as black circles embedded in the street about one foot from the curb.
Our goal is to get all of this work done quickly and with as little impact on the affected streets as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Q: Show result from one table depending on info from another MySQL table I've been trying to solve this for a long time now, I give up.
I'm getting info from one table, no problem.
But I need to exclude some results depending on info from another table.

querylist

id | artist         | title
1  | Kelly Clarkson | Catch My Breath
2  | Nicki Minaj    | Va Va Voom
3  | Jingle         | Jingle100

songlist

id | artist         | title           | songtype
1  | Kelly Clarkson | Catch My Breath | S
2  | Nicki Minaj    | Va Va Voom      | S
3  | Jingle         | Jingle100       | I

When I get my result from querylist table I want to exclude all songs that do NOT have songtype S from songlist table.
I have this, how do I get songs ONLY with songtype S?
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM queuelist q LEFT JOIN requestlist r ON q.requestid = r.id LEFT JOIN songlist s ON q.songid = s.id ORDER BY q.sortID ASC LIMIT 5 ",$dbcon);

 echo "
\n";
 if ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    do{
      $artist = $myrow["artist"];
      $title = $myrow["title"];
      echo "
$artist - $title	";
      echo "
\n";

   }while($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result));
 }
echo "
";

A: Just to be clear: Adding: WHERE s.songtype='S'
SELECT * FROM queuelist q
LEFT JOIN requestlist r ON q.requestid = r.id
LEFT JOIN songlist s ON q.songid = s.id
WHERE s.songtype='S'
ORDER BY q.sortID ASC LIMIT 5

p. I first met "Chris Hartjes":http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard/ at php|works in Toronto where he was giving his "What Can PHP Learn From Ruby on Rails":http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard/2007/02/14/back-from-vancouver-php-conference-2007/ talk. As I described him in one of my blogs from php|works, he looks like a biker with a laptop. He's large but he's always got a smile on his face and is always available to help if you've got PHP questions. Chris was kind enough to sit down with me and spend some time talking about PHP and his work at VerticalScope . Here's how our conversation went.
I've been programming for a long time. I was one of those kids lucky enough to have a computer. I started off with a VIC 20, so we are talking 25, almost 30 years ago; that was my first exposure. I learned BASIC, my parents bought me a subscription to COMPUTE! Magazine, and I spent a lot of time typing in the programs from the magazine and then trying to figure out how to use them.
p. I'm in my mid now 30s and I've been around computers most of my life. All throughout high school, I was fooling around with Apples, writing simple applications. I'm a huge baseball fan I play a lot of simulation baseball games both tabletop and computers, so I started writing applications that would help me keep track of all of that.
Yea, we moved on quickly too but we moved to an Apple. It was on the Apple that I really got into BASIC. Until I discovered the web, all I had really known was BASIC. At college, we got a smattering of everything. We got Visual Basic, some database programming with Oracle, FoxPro, and some Java. When I was there, we didn't do any web based programming but if I went back there today, I'm positive they would have something.
To back track a little bit, before I went to work for VerticalScope, I was working for a company. I was on their core team that built a huge adult dating site. It was there that I really cut my teeth on large, distributed database applications. When I left there, the application had grown into a beast with fifteen servers and five or six dedicated replication slaves talking to a large Sun server that was the master database server. We had people who could create the front-end, create the forms, etc.
p. When you look at it, a dating site is really nothing more than a huge search engine. Not being a graphic designer, it was the search part and the tools necessary to keep everything together that really appealed to me. So I built a lot of scripts that ran as cron jobs, talked to other servers and gathered data, summarized data, munged data, etc. I learned a lot about how powerful PHP really can be. Not to sound arrogant but a lot of people don't know how much work you can do "server side" with PHP. There are all sorts of things you can do with PHP that people usually associate with Perl and shell scripting.
p. So the main reason I was hired at VerticalScope was to figure out how to build an application that can get the snot kicked out of it online and still keep on running.
Yes, we use vBulletin a lot at VerticalScope . I'll be honest with you, it's not my favorite PHP application. I think there are a lot of problems with it that all stem from how it's architected, so it presents some unique challenges. However, the fact that it's PHP and we can look at the source means that we can solve these problems on our own. We of-course can't distribute our changes without permission because it's a commercial package but we can look at the source and identify the problem.
p. I've spent a lot of time writing "glue code". For example, I wrote a stats reporting system that does some cool ajax stuff with sortable grids of data that resort without reloading. In order to make a lot of that happen, I had to dig into the infrastructure of the system to figure out the tables and fields to pull the information from.
p. I spend a lot of time looking at systems and thinking, how do I get information from point A to point B. I spend a lot of time looking at databases and queries trying to figure out how to get this huge bundle of information from one place to another.
p. Our network is spread out over about 40 different sites. Our strategy is to buy established forum sites that are targeting specific markets. Then we turn around and sell advertising on them. So we've got several that get a ridiculous amount of traffic. What I've found that happens is that in vBulletin, there are certain features you have to turn off on busy sites. Since we deal mainly with sports, there are certain forms we have to turn off things like "search" and "signatures" around the time of a large event. This is part of my frustration with vBulletin, because it's a commercial product, we can't really dive in and make the changes necessary to make it perform as we need it to under these loads.
It's all MySQL. That's what vBulletin works with by default. There is support for PostGres but in my opinion, MySQL still rules the day in the open source theater.
In our current network setup, it's a real reactive thing. For the most part, we leave it alone, however, when things get slow or they break, we take a look at it. We try to figure out what caused it to break and then go from there.
p. We will be deploying mcluster in the future spread out over several servers. At that point, we will be looking for some analysis tools in place so we can evaluate performance and locate bottlenecks.
Personally, PHP 6 is something that I am really looking forward to. I think most PHP users are really underestimating how important Unicode support really is. As far as the company goes, it's not a big deal. Most of our forums are in English. That having been said, I don't think we should take the narrow view. With PHP 6 we now have new opportunities open to us in the international market. The other side of the coin is we have to wait for vBulletin to catch up before we can begin to explore these opportunities.
Ajax. I look at ajax today and I can't believe how simple it is to do some of this. It's one of those things that if you've never worked with it, it looks like magic. However, once you get into it you begin to see how simple it really is with the new toolkits out there. I use YUI for a lot of my own stuff these days and it is so simple and yet so powerful that it's amazing. I love it because it allows me to create applications that are so much more responsive to the users.
Well, I know I'll get flamed for this but I read David Heinimer Hansen's blog, "loudthinking.com":http://www.loudthinking.com/. he's the man behind Ruby On Rails. I check that everyday because I find that the subjects he talks about go way beyond just Rails. He talks about a different way of programming and a different way of building things. I know I'm going to get tarred with the "Rails Fan-boy" brush but that's ok. As I grow as a programmer I find that it's no so much about the tools I'm using as it is about how I'm using them.
p. I'd like to thank Chris for his time and his patience in getting this interview transcribed and posted.

Soin Neuroscience Develops A New Spinal Cord Stimulator to T
|Jan 22| 10 min read
DAYTON, Ohio, Jan. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Soin Neuroscience, a biotechnology company based in Dayton, OH, has developed a new spinal cord stimulation device to treat chronic pain. The company has recently started early stage human proof of concept studies. Dr Amol Soin, the founder and CEO of Soin Neuroscience, said "We are excited to start a new program to treat patients suffering from chronic pain. As we embark on our journey of science, learning and development, we believe there may be some significant advantages to our device over the current standard."
Spinal cord stimulation is a medical device in which electrical wires called leads are inserted into the spine in an area known as the epidural space, and electrical stimulation is administered to the spine to decrease a patient's perception of pain.
Testing has begun in Dayton, OH, and multiple patients who have tried the device have noted some significant pain relief. Melvin, from Xenia, OH, tried and failed a previous spinal cord stimulation device. After testing the new system from Soin Neuroscience, he noted pain scores decrease down to a 0 – 2 out of 10 and the ability to stand for prolonged periods of time, which is something he had not been able to do before. Robyn, also from Xenia, OH, also noted significant pain reduction, with pain scores dropping to a 0 out of 10 at times during testing and noted "this is much better than the shots I used to get in my back for pain."
While these results are very early, and certainly further testing is needed, Dr Soin said that "These results are encouraging and we may be on to something really great to help patients in pain. Our new approach is more in line with how the body's nerves process information, which is why I believe we will be successful in the long run. It's too early to draw conclusions based on very early testing, but our team is excited at the possibilities." Currently, the device is investigational and not FDA approved for use in humans and patients who have trialed the system are part of an approved early pilot study. The device is not available for commercial use and given that only initial testing has been completed, Soin Neuroscience cannot make any claims of efficacy of the device as further testing is needed.
Soin Neuroscience plans to continue to develop their spinal cord stimulation technology as well as expand into other types of neurostimulation devices. Soin Neuroscience has had success in developing multiple different pharmacological agents to treat pain, and spinal cord stimulation represents a new phase for the company as it diversifies its product development to help people who are suffering in pain without using addicting opioids.
About Soin Neuroscience: Soin Neuroscience Inc. (SNI) is a biotech company based in Dayton, OH. SNI was founded by Dr Amol Soin, MD, and has a portfolio of pharmacological agents to treat various diseases mostly concentrated in non-opioid based pain management therapies. Recently, SNI started a medical device division and has several neuromodulation technologies in development. SNI is also working on machine learning and AI based technologies to help augment physician decision making to make precision medicine possible. Our spinal cord stimulation device is not approved for use in humans and is currently in early testing phases. As a result, there are no guarantees or claims of efficacy and further testing is required. Email Amol Soin at [email protected]

Andries Smorenburg (1872 – 1939), the Boer in the box
Andries Smorenburg came with his employer from the Netherlands to South Africa in ca 1887 in search for greater fortune. His cousins, the two brothers Jan Willem Smorenburg (1881 – 1968) and Herman Hendrik Smorenburg (1883 – 1946) later followed him to the southern tip of Africa to assist the Boers in their freedom fight against the British Empire during the Second Anglo Boer war, also known as the South African War (1899 – 1902). By then, Andries was already Commandant of the Second Dutch Foreigner Unit. Both Andries and Jan were later captured during the Battle of Boshof on 5 April 1900 and were sent off together with 62 others of the International Legion to the remote island of St Helena in the Atlantic Ocean, to remain at Deadwood Camp until the end of the war. Herman Smorenburg was captured on 1 May 1900 near Thaba N'chu, and together with other foreigners from the Hollander Corps were sent to Ceylon as prisoners-of-war (POWs).1-9 Herman later returned to South Africa and became my husband's great-grandfather.
Andries Smorenburg's restless spirit obviously did not agree with the British confinement imposed upon him, and in late 1901 he attempted a daring, albeit unsuccessful escape from the island in the middle of nowhere. His plan? Mailing himself to freedom!
By the time Andries conceived his extraordinary plan, he was on parole. This allowed him free movement in the camp, in and around Jamestown and on the rest of the island. This meant that he had easier access to the necessary materials and stock he required for his trip. At Deadwood Camp, Andries built a a wooden packing crate (1.30 x 0.71 x 0.69 m) to contain his 1.83 m tall body in a crouched position. Three of the sides could be opened or closed from the inside. These panels were concealed with iron straps. This couldn't have been too difficult for Andries to build since he was a carpenter by trade. Clothing, matches and a few candles, food (biscuits, tins of bully beef, jam, and meat spread) and water for about 20 days, as well as a rough map of the Southampton Docks, were collected over time and packed inside the crate. "Tobacco would be my greatest difficulty, as l was an inveterate smoker", he complained in his memoirs, "but I learned to do without cigarettes before I made my attempt to escape." The crate was labeled with the name of the sender, De Wet Hamer (a false name), and addressed to Chaplain Martin, 4th Gloster Regiment, Stroud, Gloucestershire, England (a false address).2,3,10
The completed crate was transported with the ambulance chart, with the help of friends and his cousin Jan Smorenburg, to Jamestown where the ship's agent received it as luggage. It was scheduled to depart with the next mail shipment on the Union Castle Mail Ship SS Goth on 22 December 1901. In the early hours of the misty morning of 20 December, Andries sneaked, with twenty five pounds in his pocket, past the guards at Deadwood Camp by crawling through a shallow ditch underneath the camp enclosure and finally reached Jamestown. At the harbour, he couldn't find his crate, decided to swim out to a loaded barge about 100m away, to discover a sleeping guard ….. and his crate! A few hours later, the crate, with its uncomfortable content, was loaded on board the SS Goth. In spite of the labels on the crate – 'Boer Curios', 'Handle with Care' and 'This Side Up' – it was handled rather roughly while being loaded. After the ship's departure, Andries tried to free himself from his confining crate, but was unable to open the panels since mail bags and other crates and luggage were piled up all over. While still at sea, the luggage, including Andries' crate, was tossed about and eventually overturned. Andries suffered concussion and lost most of his water, but he was able to emerge from his crate and make himself a bit more comfortable in the dark, hot and stuffy hull of the ship.2,3,10
But all good things come to an end, as they say. Five days and 1300 km later, on 25 December 1901 on Christmas Day, Andries was discovered. When the ship arrived in the morning at Ascension Island, the trapdoor to the hull was opened by a sailor to collect luggage and mail bags. As the sailor descended down the ladder, Andries had just enough time to disappear back into his crate. According to Captain John Attwood, however, the unnerved sailor reported the presence of a 'ghost' and this resulted in a thorough search through all the luggage by Captain Eaton Travers. When they reached Andries's crate, Andries anxiously called out: "Stop! I'll come out!" and made his appearance. Andries was handed over to the authorities and after a thorough interrogation was sent back to St Helena on board the SS Gibraltar on 30 January 1902. Upon arrival on 4 February 1902, he was locked up in the military jail at Deadwood until 13 February 1902 when he appeared in front of the Court Martial. He was found guilty of abusing his parole conditions and for trying to escape, and was sentenced to imprisonment until the end of the war. This was executed at Fort High Knoll Prison at St Helena, with Andries being allowed only a few hours of movement and exercise per day. He was also allowed to write or receive letters. Once the war was over, and Andries was willing to sign allegiance to the British Crown, he was allowed to return to South Africa.2,3,10,11
There are two other version doing the rounds on how Andries Smorenburg was discovered, and requires more in-depth research:
1) The absence of Andries Smorenburg was noted at the next POW roll-call at Deadwood Camp. An urgent message was telegraphed to Ascension island, to be on the look-out for a possible escapee. The luggage on the SS Goth was searched once the ship arrived at Ascension, and Andries was discovered.
2) Andries was betrayed by a Dutchman, a Captain H., who upon doing so, was pardoned, released and allowed to return to the Netherlands. Apparently Andries tracked him down many years later, only to discover that he was a dying man. Andries was able to let go and forgive.2,3
The crate of Andries Smorenburg is currently on display at the MuseumAfrica in Johannesburg.

Scottish business leaders outlined the key issues they believe lie ahead for Scottish businesses in 2017 at Scottish Business Insider's Top 500 breakfast event in Edinburgh on Friday.
Boyle believes the UK Government has been "crystal clear" on its Brexit position, namely centred on a control of free movement and leaving the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.
He also warned inflation in the UK is set to rise to between 2.5 per cent and 3.5 per cent this year, though he said interest rates will likely remain at 0.25 per cent, with the markets believing interest rates will still be around one per cent 10 years from now, which he believes will ultimately slow productivity.
Boyle said Scotland's economic growth prospects this year will once again be underpinned by oil and gas, though mitigated to some degree from gains in tourism and the services sector.
The Top 500 event also heard from a panel which included Keith Anderson, chief corporate officer at ScottishPower, Sandy Kennedy, chief executive of Entrepreneurial Scotland and Alison McGregor, chief executive of HSBC.
ScottishPower's Keith Anderson spoke about the importance of looking at the positives in order to create value and growth opportunities and the importance of reliable government frameworks to attract inward investment and give companies the confidence to invest.
Sandy Kennedy of Entrepreneurial Scotland highlighted the importance of investing to develop young entrepreneurial talent to lead the next wave of Scottish innovation into global markets.
Kennedy said Scotland has a huge opportunity to become a global leader in innovation but warned it is vital for talent to build connections and adopt a global mindset.
HSBC's Alison McGregor, who also chairs the CBI, outlined her concerns some Scottish sectors will face problems if the UK government doesn't secure concessions on the freedom of movement in its Brexit negotiations.
McGregor highlighted life sciences in particular as being vulnerable to tariff barriers, regulation, funding and access to talent if the UK ends up leaving the EU under a 'hard Brexit' where the UK leaves the Single Market and the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.
McGregor also spoke about the positives and negatives form small businesses in expanding into export markets at this stage, believing the barriers to entry, namely cost and time, are far outweighed by the benefits, namely driving product development, diversification away from a primary market and in turn increasing market share in home markets.
More than 300 people attended Scottish Business Insider's Top 500 Business Breakfast at the Sheraton Hotel in Edinburgh on Friday.
The Top 500 Business Breakfast event sponsors were KubeNet and SP Energy Networks.
A full write-up from the event will be published in the March edition of the magazine.

Mazel Tough
By Evan Lerner
Yuri Foreman and Dmitriy Salita, two of the most talked-about prospects in professional boxing, have a few things in common. Both are Russian émigrés who live in Brooklyn, both won the prestigious 2001 New York Golden Gloves in their respective weight classes, and both train at Gleason's Gym in DUMBO. But the most striking similarity is emblazoned on their boxing trunks: a big, bold Star of David. Salita and Foreman are both Jewish boxers.
"You can combine Judaism with anything," says Salita (right), a 20-year-old lightweight from Ukraine with the record to prove it: 6-0, with five knockouts. At Salita's last bout, at Bally's in Las Vegas, the other fighter was taking such a beating that he refused to come out for round four. Still, when he's not throwing jabs, Salita, with his cropped brown hair and boyish face, looks more likely to be giving a bar mitzvah speech.
Enter Yuri Foreman, 21. Born in Belarus, the junior middleweight immigrated to Israel at the age of 10. After winning too many amateur titles and medals to mention, he pointed a gloved fist toward the States. "I came here to be world champion," he declares. At his first pro fight, Foreman knocked out his opponent two minutes into round one.
Judaism and pugilism share a long history. "These guys are bridging the gap of the past half-century," says boxing historian Hank Kaplan. Between 1903 and 1938, there were 26 Jewish world champions, including greats like Benny Leonard, Jackie "Kid" Berg, and "Corporal" Izzy Schwartz. The reign ended with Barney Ross, who lost his welterweight title in 1938.
Both Salita and Foreman are signed to big-time promoters with the muscle to bring on lucrative endorsements, pay-per-view megabucks, and their share of thong-wearing ring-card girls. "Bling-bling!" says Salita, who's contracted with Bob Arum, the man behind Oscar De La Hoya and the comeback of George Foreman (no relation to Yuri).
As for Yuri (3-0, 2 KOs), he's hooked up with Lou DiBella, the former HBO exec turned promoter, who recently held a press conference for him at (of course) the Carnegie Deli. "I love the idea of developing a Jewish fighter in New York City," said DiBella between handing out pastrami sandwiches and potato latkes. "I'm going to take Yuri through the political circles and local Jewish leaders."
Foreman, who resembles a younger, better-looking Dolph Lundgren, could only hungrily watch others eat. He had to make weight for a fight the next night, a Friday. "I'm always training," he said quietly in his Russian accent. "My opponents sleep, I train."
You won't, however, find Salita in the ring on a Friday night: He's Orthodox and hangs with the Lubavitcher Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn. That means he doesn't fight from Friday night till dusk on Saturday. It's in his contract. "If anyone wants a whupping from me," says Salita, "they got to wait until after sundown."

Final Fantasy Anthology
Greatest Hits box art
Developer Square
Publisher Square Electronic Arts
Platform(s) PlayStation
Release date October 5, 1999
Genre Role-playing
ESRB: - Teen
Mode(s) Single player
Final Fantasy Anthology, also titled Final Fantasy Anthology: European Edition in PAL regions, is a compilation of two Final Fantasy games for the PlayStation. Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI are included on the North American version, while Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy V are included on the PAL release. The games were ported by TOSE from the original Super Nintendo Entertainment System versions. Final Fantasy Anthology was published in North America on October 5, 1999 by Square Electronic Arts and in the PAL region on May 17, 2002 by Sony Computer Entertainment. Prior to the anthology, Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy V, and Final Fantasy VI did not have an official release in Europe. In North America, a similar compilation titled Final Fantasy Chronicles was released in 2001, and it consists of Final Fantasy IV and Chrono Trigger.
The PlayStation port of Final Fantasy VI was released separately in Europe. The "Fast" disc speed of the PlayStation driver in the PlayStation 2 can be used to decrease load times in Final Fantasy Anthology. In 2003, Square Enix re-released Final Fantasy Anthology as a "Greatest Hits" title.
In Japan, all three games were released for the PlayStation both individually and packaged together as part of a limited edition box set called Final Fantasy Collection. Although all three games differ little from the original Japanese versions in terms of gameplay, graphics, and sound, a number of extras were added, including art galleries, bestiaries, and two FMV opening and ending sequences not in the original releases.
The Music from FFV and FFVI Video Games bonus disc contains a selection of tracks, taken from the original soundtrack releases for Final Fantasy V (track 1–9) and Final Fantasy VI (10–22), respectively. The CD does not contain the background music of the FMV sequences and is only available in the initial release, not the "Greatest Hits" edition.

PlayStation.com[edit]
"Final Fantasy Anthology combines two titles from the Final Fantasy series and offers PlayStation owners a glimpse into the past. Huge worlds, in-depth storylines, and innovative battle and magic systems, and an incredible cast of characters all make for a deep gaming experience. The inclusion of Final Fantasy V marks the first time this title has appeared on a console in North America. Final Fantasy VI, originally released as Final Fantasy III on the SNES system in the U.S., makes its first appearance on the PlayStation. Both games in this compilation feature never-before-seen CG movies, adding to the appeal of these classics."
Development[edit]
Ted Woolsey's translated and localized script from the Super NES was used for Final Fantasy Anthology, with minor changes (e.g. the item "Fenix Down" was renamed "Phoenix Down" to match later games in the series), though his name was omitted from the credits in this release. Some images had been censored or modified for the original North American release, and in Anthology, all of the original Japanese graphics have been restored.
Final Fantasy Anthology was met with mixed reviews, especially from the slow loading times over those present in the original Super Nintendo version. Some item menus would take 2-4 seconds to load, and there was lag between transition of the battle scenes.
