Located in the ornate Boscolo Palace Roma – a luxury hotel situated in Via Veneto, Rome's most elegant and fashionable street and the centerpiece of the Dolce Vita – is Restaurant & Lounge Cadorin. This space offers great local dishes accompanied by the best jazz music in a unique location. Adorned with frescoes by Cadorin with images of the upper classes of Rome in the 1930s, this is an oasis of peace perfect for absorbing the culture of this beautiful hotel and the truly spectacular food of Boscolo's resident Executive Chef Max Mariola.
After a busy day of sightseeing in the hub of the Catholic faith, Vatican City, Rachel and I were exhausted mentally and physically. Rome is an extremely large city, and with so much to see and do taking it all in can be overwhelming to say the least. Upon returning to our sanctuary for the night, Boscolo Palace Roma, we were indeed grateful for the opportunity to experience Roman food at its finest under the culinary management of one of Italy's TV celebrities Max Mariola. Born in Rome but raised in Neptune, a seaside resort near Rome, Max took his passion for cooking from his mother since childhood and learned to use the products of nature, especially the sea. Max learned to merge techniques and inspirations of everyday life, managing to reinterpret traditional and regional dishes. Classic, simple and affordable food that could be recreated at home is his passion and, taking our seat in Restaurant Cadorin, Rachel and I were very excited to experience such food in the heart of this food lovers city, Rome.
Our lovely waitresses for the evening were Mirima, who was training to be a sommelier, and Anna, both attentive and helpful as to making selections, not that we had to… for we were in for a REAL treat! Starting with a glass of Berlucchi franciacorta, a sparkling wine from Lombardy with DOCG status, produced from grapes grown within the boundaries of the territory of Franciacorta, we took in our surroundings. With high ceilings and glass chandleries, shiny wood flooring and art deco wall fittings and lamps this room was something straight out of an F. Scott Fitzgerald book. The walls however had their own story, adorned with frescos by Guido Cadorin, a somewhat forgotten artist from Venice, these scenes that had been frozen in time were once covered up at the request of none other than Mussolini. The frescos are scenes using members of the city's high-life as subjects, dressed up on the terrace of a grand villa as if at a ritzy party. The reason Mussolini ordered them covered up was due to a particular subject in the fresco, one Margherita Sarfatti, an art critic and Mussolini's mistress, who insisted on being included in the frescoes even though she had snubbed Cadorin previously. I am glad they are now restored and on full show to the public as they are beautiful and inspire an idea of what this hotel would have been like in the roaring 20's.
Now if our surroundings and promise of traditional Roman cuisine was not enough we were in for one more treat, after our first course of lobster with orange; citrusy and creamy with the plump juicy lobster adding a fresh salty taste to the dish, we were to be surprised to find out that our food was being cooked by Max Mariola himself. He personally delivered our next course of pizza fritta and welcomed us to Rome and his restaurant. Tucking in to the light soft, savory doughnuts, Rachel and I were ecstatic to have such a renowned Italian chef cooking for us. The pizza fritta were accompanied by a delicious spicy tomato sauce, fresh, seasoned and extremely morish.
The talented Mirima chose our wine accompaniment with dexterity and a genuine love of wine – you could see that she was going to make one hell of a sommelier. She chose a bottle of Elisabetta Geppetti Morellino di Scansano 2011, Morellino is the local name for Sangiovese. The estate is owned by Elisabetta Geppetti and the wines are made under the control of flying-consultant Christian le Sommer (Châteaux Lafite and Latour) There is lovely fruit on the nose, full of dark cherries, blackberries, plums and red fruits. Medium bodied on the palate, and nicely textured although not luscious. Behind this approachable exterior there is a firm extract, and typical acidity; fruity with a layer of oak, and a savoury twist on the finish.
Up next was the ricotta cream, poached egg and Jerusalem artichoke. The crispy artichoke complimented the soft poached egg, the sauce was slightly salty from the cheese but still light so as not to over power the delicate egg. This was followed by razza (skate) with cream of broccoli and pecorino cheese, the overriding taste in this dish was the fresh broccoli, the skate was meaty and flaked perfectly on the fork, the cheese gave a seasoning to the dish that balanced the fresh flavours of the ingredients. Four courses down, it was time for the meat courses, and with the ethos of Roman food being about the simple ingredients we were not disappointed by the offerings. First up was the fillet of beef with orange cream of butter, the meat was somewhat dry but the moist butter sauce added moisture to the dish that created a unique taste in the mouth with the intense orange. The piglet with pumpkin cream and rosemary jus was to follow, succulent and sweet with crispy skin this dish was well seasoned and intense with the herby jus and creamy pumpkin, simple yet elegant in tastes each ingredient shone.
Rather full and terribly impressed with the dishes, we were still excited to taste the one last course, dessert. Now Max had shown us in the last six courses his ability to do classic Roman food at its best but it was in dessert that his culinary skills really maxed out: the classic Italian dessert of tiramisu. Homemade that day and served in a large coffee cup, it was heavenly, a mix of gloopy, bitter, creamy, boozy, intense coffee, buttery biscuit, soft peaks of mascarpone and cream. Rachel and I sat there in silence savoring every last mouthful. After dinner, Max came out of the kitchen and sat with Rachel and I over bottle of red to chat about his childhood and love of Roman food. Max is a very cheerful and very charming. This talented chef, who has resurrected the importance of fresh produce and seasonality, was a delight to talk to and made for a very memorable end to not only our meal but our last night in Rome and Italy. Not even seeing the Pope himself the next day topped this wonderful meal and meeting such an inspirational but down to earth Roman, championing the classic culinary roots of his heritage.


Very dear friends and family. It is with great sadness...and great Joy and Peace...that I share with you all...that The HoboBob left his worn out lungs.....and this earth to be in the arms of Jesus, last Tuesday morning early.
My comfort...is where he is No. 1...and that he is no longer in horrible chronic back pain and no longer struggling to get a breathe. . His heart was strong; his will..was stronger...but his lungs were tired and the lining was gone. He gave it his all.
We will meet to celebrate the life of HoboBob ..and how God..healed him and sobriety of 33 years. We celebrate his achievements...his life here on this earth.
So very sorry! You and yours are in our thoughts and prayers.
Susan and I are so sorry to hear about Bob. He will be missed by all, particularly around the Quartzsite campfire.
Very sorry to hear. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
We will Miss HoBo Bob we had great conversations with him over the years. RIP.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. He surely is resting in a much better place.
It was my honor and privilege to have crossed Bob's path. RIP.
We are sorry. This is always a terrible loss for a family.
Sorry for your lost. He was a great man and we will miss him.
Mina, Kristi and I are very sorry to hear of your loss. I'm hoping he was humming a bluegrass tune when he entered "the pearly gates". A group of MOC friends that knew Bob shared stories the other night and all agree he will be missed. We wish you the best and are all thinking of you.
SORRY for your loss Marcie and I meet you both in Rushmore Shadows in South Dakota.Bob got us to MOC rally that year and many after that.He will be a part of our journey in RVing for ever.


I've been photographing babies and newborns more than anything else lately, so it was refreshing to photograph this lovely couple's wedding at the West Palm Beach Green Market. It was an outdoor ceremony, held on a steamy summer day. But the gorgeous evening light made up for the heat. We cooled off during the reception which was indoors at the Green Market, a neat venue, as the building is like a greenhouse – full of windows. Congratulations Katie and Damien!

We are big curry fans in this house and I've adapted this crock pot green chicken curry enough that I figured it warranted it's own recipe. And, well, isn't that the beauty of a curry-you can add/remove whatever you really like? They are so versatile and SO GOOD.
In the crock pot, place the diced eggplant, bell pepper, sweet potato, onion, ginger, and chicken and mix.
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, cayenne pepper, green curry simmer sauce, oyster/fish sauce, and sugar. Pour over the chicken mixture and mix well.
Turn heat to high and cook for three hours. Before serving, add fresh lime juice. Serve over rice with extra lime, cilantro and Sriracha.

Q: Number of switches in a vector by group Given the vector
vec <- c(1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0)

the number of switches can simply be calculated with
cumsum(diff(vec) == 1)

However given the df
group <- c(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2)
df_test <- data.frame(vec,group)

and using
df_test <- df_test %>%
  group_by(group) %>%
  mutate(n_switches = cumsum(diff(vec) == 1))%>%
  ungroup()

the calculation fails because n_switches has 2 rows (1 per group) less than vec.
How can I overcome this problem and generate n_switches per group? Any help would be much appreciated!

A: With diff, the output is always an output with length 1 difference from the original output length.  We can append an element to make the length same as mutate wants to return the column with the same length
library(dplyr)
df_test %>%
 group_by(group) %>%
 mutate(n_switches = cumsum(c(FALSE, diff(vec) == 1))) %>%
 ungroup

A: Here is another option besides diff, which applies gregexpr for positioning the shifts
df_test %>%
  group_by(group) %>%
  mutate(n_switches = cumsum(replace(0 * vec, gregexpr("(?<=0)1", paste0(vec, collapse = ""), perl = TRUE)[[1]], 1))) %>%
  ungroup()

# A tibble: 20 x 3
     vec group n_switches
   <dbl> <dbl>      <dbl>
 1     1     1          0
 2     0     1          0
 3     1     1          1
 4     1     1          1
 5     1     1          1
 6     0     1          1
 7     0     1          1
 8     1     1          2
 9     1     1          2
10     0     1          2
11     1     2          0
12     0     2          0
13     1     2          1
14     0     2          1
15     1     2          2
16     1     2          2
17     1     2          2
18     0     2          2
19     1     2          3
20     0     2          3

A similar realization but with data.table
setDT(df_test)[
  ,
  n_switches := cumsum(replace(0 * vec, gregexpr("(?<=0)1", paste0(vec, collapse = ""), perl = TRUE)[[1]], 1)),
  group
]

> df_test
    vec group n_switches
 1:   1     1          0
 2:   0     1          0
 3:   1     1          1
 4:   1     1          1
 5:   1     1          1
 6:   0     1          1
 7:   0     1          1
 8:   1     1          2
 9:   1     1          2
10:   0     1          2
11:   1     2          0
12:   0     2          0
13:   1     2          1
14:   0     2          1
15:   1     2          2
16:   1     2          2
17:   1     2          2
18:   0     2          2
19:   1     2          3
20:   0     2          3

A: You can define a switch as a position where the current value is 1 and previous value was 0 and then using cumsum create n_switches variable.
Using dplyr you can do this as :
library(dplyr)

df_test %>%
  group_by(group) %>%
  mutate(n_switches = cumsum(vec == 1 & lag(vec, default = 1) == 0))

#     vec group n_switches
#   <dbl> <dbl>      <int>
# 1     1     1          0
# 2     0     1          0
# 3     1     1          1
# 4     1     1          1
# 5     1     1          1
# 6     0     1          1
# 7     0     1          1
# 8     1     1          2
# 9     1     1          2
#10     0     1          2
#11     1     2          0
#12     0     2          0
#13     1     2          1
#14     0     2          1
#15     1     2          2
#16     1     2          2
#17     1     2          2
#18     0     2          2
#19     1     2          3
#20     0     2          3

and same logic with data.table :
library(data.table)
setDT(df_test)[, n_switches:=cumsum(vec == 1 & shift(vec, fill = 1) == 0), group]

CAMERA Prompts Washington Post Correction on Fatah Anniversary
CAMERA staff elicit a Washington Post correction regarding an article which wrongly stated that Fatah's Gaza rally was to celebrate 48 years since its founding. In fact, it's 48 years since Fatah's first armed attack on Israel.
Update on Media Coverage of Prisoners' Document
Even while Hamas officials unequivocally stress the signing of prisoners' document does not mean the group accepts Israel's legitimacy, some news organizations continue to wrongly claim that by signing the document, Hamas leaders "effectively endorse a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." Other news organizations, however, have significantly improved their reporting on the document.
CAMERA Obtains Correction at Chicago Tribune
CAMERA obtained the following correction at the Chicago Tribune regarding the extent of Hamas' terrorist goals.
UPDATED: Journalists Veer Off 'Road Map,' Crash Into Cease-Fire
It seems that some members of the media are having a tough time differentiating the terms of the American brokered "road map" from Palestinian unilateral demands on Israel. Namely, while Palestinians have conditioned their cease-fire on the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons (among other demands), the "road map" plan, drawn up by the United States, European Union, Russia, and the United Nations, has nothing at all to say about Palestinian prisoners.
Palestinian Textbooks Teach Anti-Israel Hate
The media have ignored the Israeli publications which promote humane images of Arabs, and, far more importantly, have turned a blind eye to the systematic incitement to hatred of Jews and Israel sponsored by the Palestinian Authority in PA schools.
BACKGROUNDER: Land, the Palestinian Authority, and Israel
Following statements by PA Justice Minister Freih Abu Meddein and by Chairman Yasir Arafat that Palestinians found to have sold land to Jews will face the death penalty, at least 4 Palestinian land dealers said to have been involved in such sales were murdered.
Questions for the Times
If the New York Times botches its coverage of Israel, tipping reality upside down, making lesser occurrences into major stories and slighting deadly-serious events, what are the repercussions? Do senior editors carefully weigh substantive questions raised by concerned readers – or do they deflect criticism with evasions and insults?


The next time trial is on Sunday 2nd February, all swimmers are asked to submit an online entry form, although paper entry forms are available below online is preferred. All swimmers should attend as the time trial takes place instead of normal training. A 100IM is now included in the time trial, please makesure all swimmer attend as this is a selection trial.
The time trial will run from 1:00pm till 4:00pm.
Swimmers must be at the Wigan Life Centre Pool by 12:45pm for a prompt 1:00pm start. The paper form must be submitted by Monday 27th January or completed online by midnight on Friday 31st January. We are unable to complete entry forms on the day of the time trial. If you complete a form but are unable to attend please let us know. Times must be including on your form, otherwise no time will show and you may be put in slower heat.
The reason for this is to ensure that all clerical work can be completed prior to the date of the time trial. Previously we have tried to deal with swimmers on the day, however, due to late arrivals we have had to re-schedule & re-print the heats which is both time consuming and expensive. As pool time is limited your compliance with our requests will ensure we maximise pool time.

Could the November election really be…
Could the November election really be postponed? Ask the lawyer
By Ron Sokol | RonSEsq@aol.com | Daily Breeze

Q: There is so much controversy in the country. Now there's some rumblings (possibly fake) that President Trump could postpone the November election. Is that actually possible?
-M.G., Lomita
Ron Sokol
A: The general election of federal officials is set by law as "the Tuesday next after the first Monday in the month of November," or "the first Tuesday after November 1." This means the earliest date is Nov. 2 and the latest Nov. 8. As to the president (and vice president), the election is every four years in even-numbered years. Given the statutory framework, postponement of the election would not seem to be allowed, unless Congress permits it, which is quite unlikely today since Congress spars so much. Further, the 20th Amendment sets forth that "the terms of the President and the Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January." Hence, the incumbents would be out of office unless already reelected. In sum: While anything is possible, postponement of the November election is very unlikely.

Q: Why do we even have an Electoral College, and can we get rid of it?
-D.G., Venice
A: The founders of our country wanted a compromise between electing a president by vote in Congress, as well as by the popular vote of qualified citizens. Proponents of the Electoral College insist it requires candidates to appeal to voters outside of large cities, increases the influence of small states and thereby preserves the two-party system in a fair manner. There are a total of 538 electors, of which a majority — 270 — is required to win the election. Each state's number of electors is equal to the combined total of that state's membership in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.
There have been efforts to abolish the Electoral College — which would require a Constitutional amendment — but none have yet succeeded. The closest was in the 91st Congress (1969-71), when a Constitutional amendment was considered, passed the House Judiciary Committee, then was passed by Congress (339 to 70), but the requisite approval of two-thirds of senators could not be obtained (and the matter finally was closed after a filibuster ensued).

Baltimore, Berlin, and the Babe: Baseball and the 1936 Olympic Games
This article was written by Keith Spalding Robbins
Golf Magazine deemed that Babe Ruth was "once America's most famous golfer." Ruth was hitting the links while the Olympic trials were being held in Baltimore. (NATIONAL BASEBALL HALL OF FAME LIBRARY)
It has been noted that history is cyclical, and there is nothing new under the sun. Baseball's relationship with the International Olympic Committee is one example of beatitude realizing its fruition. Baseball was to be a medal sport for the first time at the canceled 1940 Tokyo Olympics.1 And now some 80 years later at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics baseball was to return, only to be postponed. The tumultuous road that baseball has taken to medal sport status traces its roots to 1936 and involves Baltimore and her most famous baseball son, George Herman Ruth.
At the XIth Summer Olympiad in Berlin, on August 12, 1936, at 8:00 PM, 21 ballplayers were introduced to the largest crowd to see a baseball game in the twentieth century.2 One by one, each player jogged from the opposite end of the stands to the center of the huge stadium with a spotlight illuminating them in the increasing darkness. This would be the first night game for these players.3 Adding to the drama, each ballplayer was ushered in with music played by the stadium band, one of earliest examples of '"walk-up music."4 While both teams wore the same elegant white flannels with "US" on the front and a red-white-and-blue Olympic logo shield on the left sleeve, they were distinguished by their caps and socks. This game would be between "Red Stockings" and the "Blues." The team gathered at the center of the Olympic field and gave an Olympic salute.5
Baseball was one of two sports officially classified as "Special Demonstrations" outside the official Olympic medal winning competitions in 1936. The uncharted path baseball took to get on that field was led by Les Mann, the controversial former player and secretary-treasurer of the American Baseball Congress and the Olympic Baseball Committee. In December 1935, the question of whether the United States would attend the Winter and Summer games held in Germany in 1936 was addressed. In a very hotly contested and divided convention, the US decided not to boycott. But on December 5, the Japanese Olympic baseball authorities decided not to send an Olympic baseball team, claiming it was too expensive to send a team overseas.6 The Japanese did allow one official, "Frank" Matsumato from Meiji University, to travel to Berlin, where he served as an umpire.7 In response, MLB announced at the 1935 Winter Meetings that no financial support would be given and international baseball barnstorming to Japan and other countries was banned.8
The issue of Japan's withdrawal was likely national pride and not money.9 In the winter of 1935, the Wheaties All Americans — under the leadership of Mann Herb Hunter and picked by Olympic Chairman Avery Brundage, and under partial sponsorship by and Louisville Slugger and chaperoned by Frank Bradsby 10. This college aged teamplayed 15 games against Japanese collegiate teams, beating them regularly.11 In front of 60,000 fans, they beat Waseda University, the Big Six Champion, 6-0. Yet the games were spirited and competitive. Fred Heringer, a Stanford pitcher and member of both the 1935 Wheaties and the 1936 Olympic team, noted in a 1937 interview that the Japanese players he faced were "tops in baseball, and will give anyone a run for his money."12
While Japanese amateur baseball supposedly did not have the funds to send a team to Berlin, monies were available for a college ball team to barnstorm across the US. From May 15 to July 1, Waseda University played 22 games, going 15-7 against college-age competition. Their coast-to-coast journey started at Stanford University (two games) and included stops at the University of Chicago (two games), Ann Arbor (one inning before the rains came), Boston, a return to Chicago, and finally Seattle and Oakland.13 Coincidentally, the Japanese departure date was the same as the opening of the US Olympic trials.
The highlight of their barnstorming was two shutouts: Harvard (5-0) and Yale (6-0). The Yale game on June 8, 1936, made international headlines for the two-walk, 12-strikeout no-hitter by Waseda pitcher Shozo Wakahara.14
Meanwhile, the US Olympic Baseball leadership was selecting amateur players, attempting to find a capable opponent, and were forced to be independent and raise their own funds without support from MLB. This team needed a hero.
On February 9 and 10, 1936, newspapers around the country announced that the US Olympic Baseball team would be escorted to Berlin by baseball's greatest hero of all: The Sultan of Swat, the Bambino, Babe Ruth. Ruth was given two new nicknames: Commander in Chief of the Olympic Baseball Committee and "commandant of the United States amateur baseball delegation."15
After rejecting an offer from Larry McPhail to play for the Reds, Ruth was quoted as saying,"I'm taking a lot of interest in this Olympics baseball program."16 The Sporting News of April 9, 1936, featured a photo of Ruth shaking Mann's hand.
Baltimore was chosen as the site for the trials partly due to Charm City's capable amateur baseball commissioner, Paul E. Burke, who was the also Maryland state representative to the American Baseball Congress. On March 14, 1936, Mayor Howard W. Jackson made public the letter of invitation to Mann and the American Baseball Congress stating that Baltimore wanted to host the trials. And two weeks later, on March 29, The Baltimore Sun ran the following headline: "Babe Ruth Promises To Attend."
Tryouts were held at Gibbons Field on the campus of Mount St. Joseph. As an added benefit for the area, one or two of Baltimore's best amateurs would be selected to the team. The plan included tickets to a Washington Nationals game against the Yankees on July 5 and then the use of Griffith Stadium for a fundraiser.17
Mount St. Joseph, run by the Xavierian Brothers of St. Mary's Industrial School — Ruth's alma mater, was no accidental choice. This high school had an established baseball development heritage, sending numerous students to professional baseball.18 Having empty summer dorms and a large gym and locker room, it was an ideal campus for the players.19 They were making history, becoming Olympic baseball's first Team USA.20
An estimated 800 prospective ballplayers sent applications to Mann, from which about an reported to 150 wound up on Gibbons Field.21 While the trials were labeled free for all, it cost each participant a $60 admission fee. No doubt this substantial amount limited the number of attendees. Mann would later state that the fee would be refunded if a player did not make the team.22 By Sunday July 5, players from all corners of the country had arrived and were competing for spots on the team.23
Baltimore had not been the first or even the second choice for the tryouts. In the summer of 1935, the Olympic baseball committee had called for 12 regional tournaments of approved amateur teams competing to determine a national champion along with selecting a tournament all-star team.24 After the Japanese withdrawal, an "East vs West" set of teams was proposed: Well-respected Stanford Coach Harry Wolter was to lead a West team versus an East team from the Penn Athletic Club, led by George Lang and former A's catcher Ira Thomas.25 These earlier plans did not pan out, but would shape the tryouts in Baltimore: some of the twenty slots on the team were reserved for Penn AC ballplayers.
Three games were scheduled, two in Charm City and one at Griffith Stadium, intended to showcase the talent and serve as fundraisers for the overseas trip.26 The two Baltimore games would feature the local sandlotters. The first, the Police Department game, was a fundraising disaster, generating a net profit of just of seven dollars — significantly short of the $500 required for each self-funded or community-funded player to attend the Olympics!27 In response, Burke called for an emergency meeting of the Maryland Amateur Athletic Association to address the financial shortfall. After much deliberation, they dropped the plan to send any of Baltimore's best sandlotters to the Olympics. "Apathy of Fans Cited in Abandoning Plans" read the headline in the Evening Sun on the night of July 9.
A major reason for such apathy can be attributed to Baltimore's favorite son. Ruth did not attend the tryouts, and after mid-April 1936, he went silent on going to Berlin and with his public support of US Olympic baseball. He was encouraged to resign his position of commandant of Olympic baseball, though by whom remains unknown.28
Yet the retired Ruth was still making headlines. During the two weeks of the Baltimore tryouts, the Bambino was in Canada, on a golf and fishing vacation with wife Claire, daughter Dorothy, and friends.29 News reports throughout Canada and the US documented his kindness, accessibility, and larger-than-life prowess.30 The Brooklyn Daily Eagle noted that the Babe's fishing was a Ruthian event, for on the St. Mary's River he caught 21 salmon.31 By July 9, Ruth was tracked down in Digby, Nova Scotia, coming off a round of golf at the New Pines Hotel course where he denied the Cleveland Indians had offered him a job as manager.32 The Babe's Nova Scotia legacy lives on to this day as the Digby Pines golf course challenges its patrons to play a round " and try to drive the 11th hole like The Babe did in 1936."33
Ruth did help the Olympic cause in one small way by attending the farewell banquet in New York on July 14, vigorously and confidently encouraging Jesse Owens to win the gold.34 The Babe also participated in homecoming activities, though, when the team returned to New York. The city hastily planned a ticker tape parade and on September 4 Ruth attended the welcome home banquet sponsored by Mayor LaGuardia on Randall's Island, the site of Olympic Trials. Each Olympian, inncluding members of the baseball team, received a special bronze medal.35
But while the baseball team was taking the field in Berlin, Ruth was on the links again. August 12–14, the Bambino was playing in a tournament in Upstate New York at the Bluff Point Golf Resort, hosting the St Orleans International Invitational.36 His promises to help the 1936 Olympic team in Baltimore and Berlin went largely unfulfilled, perhaps not by his own wishes.
Dinty Dennis, the Miami News sportswriter who was also the assistant coach for the Olympic team, penned a scathing column on April 12, chastising MLB owners. He accused them of being hypocrites, for signing unproven minor leaguers for $25,000 but refusing to put up a few thousand for the national amateur team.37
Dennis was one of those who selected the team, along with college coaches Harry Wolter (Stanford), Judson Hyames (Western Michigan), Linn Wells (Bowdoin College), and Frank Anderson (Oglethorpe College), as well as Hall of Famer Max Carey and George Lang from the Penn Athletic Club. George A Lang, held an executive leadership position of Mann's American Baseball Congress and was the USA delegate to the International Amateur Baseball Federaion.38
While the team was to be limited 20 players, 21 were finally chosen, and of those, 16 were associated with the Baltimore trials. The other five came from the Penn Athletic Club, holdovers from the early proposal to send the Penn AC team. Of the 16, only two had no direct connection to the coaches in Baltimore: Paul Amen from Nebraska and Grover Galvin Jr. from Rockford, Iowa. Seven of the players were known by Mann and Carey from either the 1935 Wheaties (Les McNeece, Fred Heringer, Ron Hibbard, and Tex Fore, with Rolf Carlsten an alternate who did not go to Japan) or one of their baseball school sessions (Herm Goldberg and Dow Wilson). Lin Wells picked his team captain and best rival respectively: Bill Shaw and Clarence Keegan, who both were their team's best hitters. Wolter picked the west coast players: Gordon Mallatratt, Fred Heringer, Ike Livermore (all from his Stanford 1933 team), and Dick Hanna (from the 1936 Stanford team), and rivals Tom Downey from USC and Bill Sayles from Oregon. Hyames was also the coach to Ron Hibbard, who was the Western Michigan center fielder and team captain. Finally, Anderson picked a rival, University of Georgia football and baseball star Henry Wagnon.
Like the Baltimore sandlotters, the Penn AC had financial issues. They were initially allocated to send a whole team. Although the club's membership came from top families of Philadelphia, including the Shibe family, and the team staged a benefit game against Connie Mack's A's, they were thousands of dollars short. While their goal was $5000, they raised a total of $2611, and sent only five players.39 Only four of those were found in the box scores from their games that summer: infielders Rolf "Swede"Carlsten, Earnest Eddowes, and pitchers Carson Thompson and Charles Simons.40 Two special player exemptions to the "strictly amateur" rules were given for Carlsten and the fifth player listed: Curtis Myers.
Carlsten had attended the University of Pennsylvania where he had starred in football and baseball, and had later bumped arround both the Orioles' farm teams (York, Wilkes-Barre, Cumberland), and the Canadian Football League — from which league he was subsequently bannned when his professional baseball career was uncovered. He ended up the starting second baseman for Penn AC and would be "rechristened" an amateur for the Olympic team.41
The exception made for Myers is even more curious. He was the 21st player added to the supposed 20-man roster, and unlike the other four, he does not appear in any of the numerous Penn AC box scores in the years leading to the Olympics; moreover, a check with the Penn AC Archives did not find him there either. The only note was linked to a semi-pro team in Camden (NJ), the Morgan AC. Yet in the Olympic records, he is listed as being a member of the Penn AC. He was a rather successful college baseball pitcher with a career record of 8-4 and coached by former A's legend and Hall of Fame Pitcher Charles, "Chief" Bender. .However, Myers was more than just a ballplayer,. Although the fact is not mentioned in any newspaper account of the team, he was also Lieutenant Curtis A. Myers of the US Navy, and had transferred landward to the Philadelphia Naval Yard in summer 1935. Adding to the espionage picture his home was listed as Hartford, Connecticut. His naval record included serving on various ships in the capacity of executive officer, being involved in naval aviation, and having received a Master's Degree in Paris, France.42 He played baseball at the Naval Academy, graduating in 1927 making him the oldest member on the team and the one who had been out of the sport the longest time. Thus the question was, what was he really up to in Berlin?
Another player of note was the Baltimore tryout catcher, who played left field in the game. His name on the Berlin scoreboard was the very German-sounding "Harold Goldbergh." In reality, he was Herm Goldberg, the only Jewish player on the team. His baseball legacy is vital to understanding how we today view the team and its moral mission some eighty years later.
Although the Olympic exhibition game had two official scorers — including the father of AP sports, Alan J. Gould — no box score seems to exist, just a line score. The game lasted seven innings and ended on a walk-off home run by McNeece. The final score was 6-5. The AP went on to report, "Only a handful in the vast crowd had any idea who was playing or cared who won."43
The 1936 Berlin games were not about sports, but something more heinous and disturbing: the propagandization of sport for an immoral regime's social, political, and cultural agenda symbolic of military conquest. The games were part of the great deception as noted by their stated purpose in the Official XIth Olympiad Report: "Sporting and chivalrous competition awakens the best human qualities. It does not sever, but on the contrary, unites the opponents in mutual understanding and reciprocal respect. It also helps to strengthen the bonds of peace between the nations. May the Olympic Flame therefore never be extinguished."44
The other sport besides baseball that held a Special Demonstration in 1936 was gliding. Only countries within the specter of ambition of Nazi Germany's influence were allowed to participate: Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia. Moreover, these gliding teams were housed not at the Olympic village but at the German Air Force Aviation Academy in Gatow. The official report confirmed the role of the Luftwaffe with the following: "all arrangements for the comfort and lodging of the group were under the supervision of Air Sport Leader Gerbrecht, who had been assigned to this task by the Reich Air Sport Leader."45
Not surprisingly, the German Air Command ranked the performances and gave out awards.46
On July 28, 1936 — a mere three days before the opening Olympic ceremonies — Winston Churchill warned that the rising strength of the German Air Force was perilous, stating, "We are in danger as never before…."47 With military conscription in place, gliding introduced German youth into the basics of flight and thus the tactics of air combat. Gliding had become the militarization of sport in its rawest, most unrepentant form. Gliding was elevated to a cultural statement and iconographic descriptor of the nation of Germany in much the way baseball was for the United States, the only two nations to feature Special Demonstration sports.
Was the need to better witness the rise of the Luftwaffe and their pilots' training skills and its material growth the reason why Lt. Curtis Myers was on the team?
In the heated debate on whether to send a team to Berlin, the issue of whether participation was equivalent to supporting an immoral state government was raised. The words of the German Olympic Organizing Committee verified such concerns: "a mighty all-enveloping educative ideal which rises above the limits of time and the confines of national frontiers, aiming at physical, mental and moral perfection."48
The elimination of both those national borders and those humans deemed not physically, mentally, or morally perfect was the evil behind the propaganda façade. Years later, Goldberg recalled, "They were telling us … they were getting ready for war, although they didn't call it that. They just called it the 'preparation of Germany for expanding its borders.'"49 This deception of their true ambitions was hidden in plain sight, and sadly undiscerned by many of the ballplayers — and other Olympians as well. Les McNeece, the team's second baseman and the one who hit the game-winning inside-the-park home run, years later noted to a reporter that, "When all the Olympic teams marched into the Stadium, there were thousands of Nazi SS Troops lining the road. We thought they were honoring us."50
Standing against this immoral ambition on display at the Games would give rise to many heroes, none greater than Jesse Owens, who thwarted Hitler's desire to prove Aryan superiority by winning four gold medal s and setting three world records. When conntrasted with the other demonstration sport of "Gliding," staged by the Luftwaffe High Command and featuring future fighter and bomber pilots, baseball represents the pastime of peace This was a team of goodwill ambassadors. Goldberg, the left fielder from Brooklyn, gave the lessons of baseball a most eloquent voice: "I learned to live with the competition, to lose when I had to lose without crying about it. To win when I could win with joyousness and to share with my teammates."51
And whether your teammate was Jim Creighton, Bill Mazeroski, Joe Carter, or Les McNeece, the shared experience the age-old stanza goes:
"And then Home with Joy."52

In totalitarian Germany of that day the costs of not filling the stadium would have been higher than the ticket price of 1DM.

What's the best way to access a 4GB csv file?
Specifically, I want only the rows for hospitals; though, one might want the rows for healthcare clearing houses, or home health agencies, etc.
The unzipped NPI file is 4.8GB, which is too large for my desktop applications. It is an interesting barrier to open data.
As you're only taking a portion of the file, you may be able to use simple tools to subset it before processing. That may get it down to a reasonable size to work with.
This lets you extract the lines without uncompressing the larger file on disk. (with today's systems, drive speeds are often a limiting factor, so working with the data compressed can be more efficient if you have sufficient CPU).
you can connect to the file with sql and run your analysis from there.
You could do the same thing for zip archives with zipfile.
If this data is coming from across a network you can pay very little or sometimes get performance improvements by not copying and then uncompressing it. It can cost you less to pull it across the network compressed (smaller) in pieces and operate on it then it does to pull it across in bulk, uncompress it, and then read it. It also doesn't use up local storage resources.
There are streaming CSV parsers, that only look at a small window of the file at a time.
Load the file into PostgreSQL database table with a Copy statement. This will give you the full capabilities of SQL syntax, plus the ability to index columns for faster access.
For complex queries you have a optimizer that a can figure out the fastest way to access the data. PostgreSQL has smarter I/O than most applications it will detect sequential read access and read-ahead to pre-load data into memory.
Results can be viewed in Excel or other spreadsheets by accessing the data via an ODBC driver.
You can access to PostgreSQL via several Cloud Services like Heroku or AWS. It would be good cloud project to create a new machine instance, install PostgreSQL and copy the data to the instance. Then use the Postgres COPY command to load the data and then access the data with a PostgreSQL client application from your desktop.
On Windows, there is also a software called Delimit ("Open data files up to 2 billion rows and 2 million columns large!") http://delimitware.com For instance it can split, sort and extract only some rows or columns.
This answer is not really useful for non-programmers, but if could manage some programming in perl, the Parse::CSV module is especially designed for this task.
It provides a flexible and light-weight streaming parser for large, extremely large, or arbitrarily large CSV files.
Perl is usually very good for data mining tasks.
Well, in short, Talend Open Studio for Data Integration is an ETL.
It can be used for many use cases, including data migration, files processing, etc. You can easily build jobs using a visual editor to combine specialized connectors (read CSV files, select rows corresponding to your criteria, write result to one or more files or directly to a database, and more). The possibilities are endless because there are more than 800 connectors.
At the end, TOS generates a java application which can be launched from the designer or for the command line (Windows or Unix).
I am a big fan of tad which crunches these kind of files easily.
I have used utilities such as (g)awk to readlarge file such as this record by record. I the extract the required information from each line and write it to an output file. For windows users (g)awk is available in cygwin. I have also used python to achieve the same result. You could implement this process in most programming languages.
would work, since it reads the file iteratively, not all at once.
If you're on Windows, I can't sing the praises of LogParser high enough. It allows you to query files in a wide variety of formats (mostly log formats as that's what it was meant for, but XML and CSV are valid). You query the file with a surprisingly complete SQL syntax, and you can even use it to import an entire file directly into an SQL database very easily.
It's extremely fast, too. I've used it to process 5 GB of IIS log files and a query as complex as SELECT DISTINCT cs-username, cs(User-Agent) FROM .\*.log where cs-username is not null took about 2 minutes to complete running on my laptop.
join those output-csv files back into one csv file for further processing. You can then use this file e.g. with SQL databases, Open-/Libre-/MS-Office, Statistical tools etc.
Depending on the OS you are using, there are a series of open source tools available to split / join large files or tools already installed.
MS Windows: you will have to install a tool or use a script (e.g python) to do the splitting. If you search Google for "splitting csv files" you will find quite a selection.
Alternatively you could also use a live CD/USB stick with e.g. Ubuntu on it (see the Ubuntu web site for how to create one) and then use the approach below.
Linux / Unix: Use the split command: e.g. split -d -l 10000 source.csv tempfile.part.
You can use the join command to join the multiple output files from your selections together into one csv file (either by naming the files and piping them into one file or by joining all files within a folder into one output file - please check the join manual pages or online how to do this in detail).
You can try nitroproc. It's currently a beta version I think, but allows to sort/summarize/filter/etc. It's free.
I've had good luck in R (without resorting to fancy packages) of reading CSVs up to and beyond that size. The nice thing about getting it in RAM, if you can swing it, is very fast manipulation.
If you want to do some processing on a large csv file, the best option is to read the file as chunks, process them one by one, and save the output to disk.
If you want to explore the file and you are looking for free tools, you can use Power Query add-in for Excel or glogg log explorer.
query the SQLite database directly, or publish a simple HTML form that supports faceted and/or form driven searching / filtering as well as a form that lets you enter and run arbitrary read-only SQL queries, usingdatasette. For example, datasette serve -p 8899 mydatabase.db to serve the datasette browser on localhost port 8899.
As an added benefit, the datasette service also provides an API that allows you to run arbitrary SQL queries on the data via a simple URL and retrieve the data as JSON.
A query can also be used to export just the data you want as a smaller CSV file (datasette - CSV export).

These are lyrics from Alanis Morissette's song "Perfect," which many of us rocked out to long before we ever became parents. Now that we are adults raising children, we might want to dust off our copy of her album, "Jagged Little Pill," and take another listen to this song.
I believe these lyrics describe the crux of the issue around the spiking levels of anxiety we are seeing in children today. Many parents demand perfection from their kids—in academics, sports, hobbies and behavior. A lot of us over-monitor, over-program and over-protect our children. It's hard to watch kids fail or experience the discomfort of defeat. Yet at the same time, we set the bar for them at "perfection" and we accept nothing less. We hope high expectations will motivate our children but, instead, our unrealistic expectations can make children feel like they can't measure up.
Kids who feel inadequate can become anxious and depressed. Research shows that more children are anxious today than ever before. In fact, this trend has gotten so bad that psychologists are starting to refer to this period as, "the age of anxiety." The question is, if we know setting the bar too high hurts our kids, why do we continue to do it? Morissette suggests it's our own unrealized dreams that propel us to push our children so hard.
In many cultures, craftspeople practice the art of deliberate imperfection where they incorporate flaws into their designs and handicrafts to demonstrate humility. In South America, hand-woven blankets include an errant stitch or a thread of a different color. In Japan, bowls are intentionally misshapen around the edges. Tightly embroidered patterns are broken on purpose on cotton shawls made in India and Pakistan. These artisans believe that imperfections reflect that the artisan is humble and aware of his or her own transience.
Even the builders of the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, incorporated intentional architectural flaws into the structure's design. The ceiling that arches over the main aisle of the cathedral does not meet at the center and the choir stalls along the nave of the church are slightly misaligned. These flaws were not accidental; they represent the belief by the architects of the church that only God is perfect.
So rather than striving for perfection for our kids, perhaps we should emphasize to our children the value of humility. Being of service to others, playing a supporting role on a team, being kind to the less fortunate…these are arguably more important traits for a child to learn than how to earn perfect grades, how to win first place and how to be the very best at everything they do.
Forget winning, stack ranking and flawless appearances. Our kids need us to embrace and accept them for who they are; beautifully imperfect human beings. Just like us. So, in a nod to the concept of deliberate imperfection, I've decided to leave any mistakes I made writing this column just the way they are are.
Often people are asked to rate themselves on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being perfect). A very common question, as part of interviews and learning and development programs. How do I rate myself? What could be the conclusions drawn from the answers given?
If someone rates oneself as 10, is he being over confident or is he being proud? In other words, is he not humble? Again, if one rates oneself lower, is he a less confident person, unsure about himself or is he just modest? Or is he just unaware of his potential?
If there is a moral quality almost completely disregarded and even denied today, it is indeed humility. The culture in which we live constantly instills in us the sense of pride, of self-glorification, and of self-righteousness. It is built on the assumption that man can achieve anything by himself. Humility, be it individual or corporate is viewed as a sign of weakness.
