HughE Dillon: David Boreanaz Hits Red Carpet at Kimmel Center
The Kimmel hosted the Philly-raised actor, his wife, actress Carla Gugino and more for the screening of The Mighty Macs, a movie about the Immaculata women's basketball team in the '70s.

Hollywood came to Philly the other night as the Kimmel Center played host to a screening of The Mighty Macs, a movie about the famed Immaculata University women's basketball team and their legendary coach Cathy Rush, who coached the Immaculata team to consecutive national championships from 1972 to 1974. The film was directed by a Philly guy, Tim Chambers, brother of Penn State basketball coach Pat Chambers. The film's executive producers are Pat Croce, the former president of the 76ers, and Vince Curran, a successful businessman and former basketball star at Penn. Philadelphia-raised actor David Boreanaz stars.
Below: The 1971-1972 Immaculata women's basketball team included Coach Cathy Rush (center) with Judy Martinelli (on her left); Theresa Shank Grentz, the 1992 U.S. women's basketball Olympic coach and former head women's coach at Rutgers and Illinois; and Marianne Crawford Stanley, former head women's basketball coach at Old Dominion, whose teams won three national championships.
Below: Joe Weiss, Sharon Pinkenson, executive director of the Philadelphia Film Office, and Mayor Michael Nutter on the red carpet at the screening.
Below: Archbishop Charles Chaput, Carla Gugino, David Boreanaz, Marley Shelton and Tim Chambers. In the movie, Carla, who plays Cathy Rush, is blond, which made me question whether this brunette beauty was her when she walked the carpet. Shortly after this shot, Chaput had a moment alone with Boreanaz where he gave him a blessing. Then Boreanaz turned to his wife, who was just off to the left and shared a romantic kiss with her. (The Bones star confessed he had cheated on his wife, Jaime Bergman, with Tiger Woods's alleged mistress Rachel Uchitel last year, and recently admitted the affair actually made his marriage better, because the couple fought to save their relationship. Last week an online cheating website offered him $250,000 to be the spokesperson for their site, which also says affairs strengthen marriages. No word on whether he got back to them.)
Below: David and wife, with his parents, Patti Boreanaz and Dave Roberts. Dave Roberts was the beloved weather man on 6 ABC for more than 26 years until his retirement in 2009. Also on hand for the special night was his sidekick at the 6 ABC anchor desk, Jim Gardner, and his wife, Amy.
Below: Brandon Hannan and Tisha Tinsman play mother and son in The Mighty Macs. (Tony Luke, Jr. played the husband/dad.) Tisha Tinsman also appeared in The Red Corvette, which was screening the same night at the Franklin Institute.
Below: Shy, unassuming Bianka Brunson plays Gayle Moore, one of the basketball players. The movie was shot at the Hill School in Pottstown.
Below: I guess when you are ABC's Secret Millionaire you can go just about anywhere. James Malinchak was on the red carpet, too. I couldn't find out why, but I do have to commend him for bringing along a piece of paper with his name and title on it, making it easier for the photographers to ID him.
Below: After the movie, there was a '70s disco party held in the the Kimmel's Commonwealth Plaza until 1 a.m., with DJ Eddie Tully spinning.
Below: Jennifer Schloder and Tony Luke, Jr. I completely forgot to ask Tony about the movie and immediately wanted to know about his weight-loss program. It's simple, he says, eat healthier and work out. Doesn't he look great with his 90-pound weight loss? Very inspirational, especially since he has the best pork sandwiches in town.
Below: Guests at the party included Mickey and Dave Coskey. Coskey used to work for Pat Croce as executive vice president of the 76ers, went on to the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, and this past spring left that position and purchased five Atlantic Broadcasting stations.
Below: Jin Hee Park, State Senator Larry Farnese, and Ledia Leka. Last week, Farnese introduced Senate Bill 886 to allow in-state and out-of-state licensed producers, suppliers, importers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers that obtain a direct wine shipping license to mail 18 liters, or two cases, a month to Pennsylvania homes and businesses.
Below: George F. Schools and Lil Nicolette enjoy the sounds of the '70s. I was enjoying their fashion. Also spotted at the party were WMMR's Kathy Romano, who is also in the film, Lianda Swain, Flyers James van Riemsdyk and Claude Giroux, who are friends with Boreanaz, Mary Dougherty and husband, Erik Neumann, who were celebrating their 23rd wedding anniversary, and Phil Martelli, Saint Joseph's men's basketball team (his wife, Judy, was an original Mighty Mac). The film opens Friday, October 21st.

VIDEO: "We are All Michael Brown" — NYC Parents Whose Kids Were Killed by Police Rally for Justice
Web ExclusiveAugust 19, 2014
Thanks to Democracy Now! fellows Messiah Rhodes and Anna Özbek for producing this video.
Parents with children killed by police were among those who attended a rally in front of New York City police headquarters on Monday to demand justice in the murder of Michael Brown and similar cases.
"We're out here because they're killing innocent people in the street, in their homes, like they did to my son, Ramarley," said Frank Graham.
Ramarley Graham was unarmed when he was shot at close range last February, in front of his six-year-old brother and grandmother, after narcotics officers chased him into his Bronx apartment. Police say Graham was trying to empty a small bag of marijuana into the toilet before he was killed. The officer who shot him was indicted for manslaughter, but a judge reluctantly threw out the indictment in May on procedural grounds. Earlier this year another grand jury chose not to indict the officer a second time.
More than a year has passed since the U.S. Justice Department indicated it may review Graham's case. The family says it has no indication federal officials are conducting a full investigation by interviewing witnesses, as is occurring in the case of Michael Brown. On Wednesday, Graham's family and supporters plan to deliver thousands of petitions to the U.S. Justice Department and call for a meeting with U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.
Police shootings and misconduct have been monitored locally by groups like the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement and Copwatch, which is also looking into alleged police harassment of Ramsey Orta, who filmed Eric Garner's fatal encounter with New York Police in July. Garner died after police placed him in a chokehold and pinned him to the ground while he repeatedly said he couldn't breathe. A day after the medical examiner ruled Garner's death a homicide, police arrested Orta on weapons charges.
A We Will Not Go Back march calling for justice in the case of Eric Garner is planned for August 23rd and is sponsored by Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network, the NAACP and local 1199 SEIU, as well as other groups.
PROTESTERS: Hands up! Don't Shoot! Hands up! Don't Shoot! Hands up! Don't Shoot! Hands up! Don't Shoot! Hands up! Don't Shoot!
FRANK GRAHAM: We're out here because they're killing innocent people in the street and in their home, as they did to my son Ramarley. There's what we're asking for, for these criminal cops to stop, because they are criminals, because they have these signs all over, "If you see something, say something," but they don't say nothing when they see their buddies beating or killing people. That blue wall is silent.
ANITA NEAL: They did not come to me and tell me anything. I begged, and I've rallied every 21st to make sure I'm going to get justice for my daughter!
LINAD TIGANI: Families are out here today who have their sons, their daughters, their lovers, their friends to police violence. We have folks that are mentally ill who were killed when their families were calling 911 for help. So if we cannot call 911 for help, then we see that chants like "Resistance is justified" when people are occupied, those chants become real.
JOSE LASALLE: I would like these officers to go through the same process that anyone that kills somebody goes through. I would like them to be handcuffed. I would like them to be put into the precinct. I would like them to be fingerprinted. I would like them to be taken down to Central Booking. I would like them to go in front of a judge. I would like the judge to set a bail that is reasoning, that is substantiate the crime that they committed. And I would like them to go through the same process that they make any civilian go through.
FRANK GRAHAM: Honest, I'm tired of walking in the street and shouting, "No peace! No justice, no peace!" because that's not doing anything. It's really not doing anything. We have to take it another step. What does that mean? We have to disrupt business. I'm not saying loot, burn, none of that. I'm saying disrupt business. I'm saying take to the bridges, take to the tunnels. We have to make these businesspeople who work on Wall Street and Park Avenue, make it hard for them to get to work. Then they'll understand what's going on. Then they'll start asking their elected official, "What's going on? Why is this happening?"

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., May 30, 2017 — During a special grocery promotion in May and June, SKUlocal placed nearly 100 million inserts in Valpak envelopes from such top-tier grocery brands as Procter & Gamble, Kellogg's, Blue Bunny and Mars.
This helped Valpak achieve a significant milestone in May. It was the most grocery content ever in a single month inside Valpak envelopes, which are mailed monthly to nearly 37 million demographically targeted households across the country. Sam's Club was also featured on the outside of millions of Valpak envelopes in May.
The large increase in CPG content is fueling SKUlocal's early success in 2017.
Achieved a 300 percent year-over-year growth in mailing volume for the month of May.
Return on ad spend is averaging 182 percent when all marketing elements are combined.
One reason for SKUlocal's rapid growth is that CPG manufacturers and retailers are looking for alternative solutions to drive more targeted redemption at key retail partners, versus the wasted distribution that can come from traditional marketing. SKUlocal's targeted activation campaigns integrate retailer-focused direct mail, customized social media and targeted print-at-home coupons.
Other SKUlocal clients include Bayer, Walgreens and HEB grocery stores.
SKUlocal was formed earlier this year after Platinum Equity acquired Cox Target Media, which owns Valpak. SKUlocal combines intelligent targeted direct mail services with keen shopper insights to connect with local consumers in more cost-effective ways. It is focused primarily on the grocery, CPG and over-the-counter (OTC) categories.

Wilhelm Genn Puts On a Show in Sacramento to Notch First Longines Victory
October 7, 2018 Associate Editor	Leave a comment

Less than three hours from the city of Columbus, which hosted its first ever Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ qualifier this weekend, is German rider Wilhelm Genn's Rheinland Farm. Genn wasn't there but found himself on top in the World Cup competition, more than 2,400 miles away.
Genn (GER) and his mount Bugatti topped a nine-horse jump-off to win the $100,000 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Sacramento, their first victory in a World Cup event. With a clear jump-off in 36.88 seconds, the duo topped Karrie Rufer (USA) and Georgie d'Auvray EC (37.31 seconds) by just under a half-second. Karl Cook (USA) and Caillou finished third, crossing the timers with a clean round in 38.47 seconds.
"I was hoping I got a chance to run for it today, and it worked out. Bugatti likes the footing, and he likes the crowd — it gets him a little excited, and that makes him better, because normally he's a very lazy horse. It all kind of played a little bit in my favor." — Wilhelm Genn (Germany)
The stands were packed to capacity Saturday night at the Murieta Equestrian Center as 25 combinations lined up to take on Olaf Petersen, Jr.'s (GER) 1.60m course. The first clear round did not come until the 14th horse in the order, but eight others quickly followed suit.
"My horse felt great," Genn said. "I like to plan things, so before we came here, we showed in Kentucky, because they have a grand prix Friday night under the nights [indoors]. That was our warm-up, and we jumped very well there, so I felt pretty confident."
Genn had not originally planned to compete on the west coast, but when his son Theo, who also jumped Saturday night with Taylor Reid's Boucanier, elected to make the journey, he decided to join him. The decision proved to pay off in spades.
"I really came here for my son," Genn said. "And then I thought, 'I'll bring my two horses.'"
Two New Leaders
New names sit atop the standings in both the east and west coast sub leagues of the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ North American League. Genn, who is declared on the east coast, now leads those standings. He is tied at the top with Molly Ashe Cawley (USA), who earned her first Longines victory in New York. Both have 20 points.
Rufer may have finished second in Sacramento, but she also ended the night a winner, going to the top of the west coast standings with 21 points. She earned 17 points for her runner-up finish, combined with the four points she received in at Vancouver (CAN) in August, the first qualifier of the 2018-2019 season.

Electoral hex redux and African colonialism
At Gil Kalai's blog I came across a map in which counties which voted Democratic in some election are colored blue, and counties which voted Republican are colored red. (It is not the 2008 presidential election map, or at least it doesn't match Mark Newman's map.)
Anyway, Kalai suggests "hex voting" -- like the game of Hex, the Republicans win if there's a continuous path in red counties from north to south, and the Democrats win if there's a continuous path of blue counties from east to west. (In the map he gives, the Republicans win, but only barely -- there are some places where the red region is only one county wide.)
It turns out that the British and French played a similar game in Africa early in the last century; here's a map of European claims to Africa in 1913, in which the British were attempting to create a continuous path of red (British) colonies from north to south, and the French were attempting to create a continuous path of blue (French) colonies from east to west. (At least, that's how the Wikipedia article on Cecil Rhodes puts it.)

The French and English also did the same thing in North America. France attempted to cut off the British colonies from the interior of the continent by creating a chain of forts from the Canadas to Louisiana. See here for a picture.
Sean Henderson said...
I've never heard of Hex before, but I recognize it more readily as the old game show BlockBusters...Interesting concept. It guarantees a winner, too, which is a good thing.
I was going to guess 1936 or 1940. 36 was no good, the Republicans only won 2 New England states. 1940 was closer. Dakotas, Neb, Kan, Col, but also part of New England and part of the midwest. No good.
Look more closely. There are Republican smatterings through the south. That's not a New Deal situation. Also, all 48 states are voting, that places us between 1912 and 1928, in a Democratic victory. So it's Wilson? Nope.
So post-New Deal? Too much of a landslide for Truman, Kennedy... Carter, Clinton... Could this be 1964? Look at Arizona, nope.
So I am guessing that we're looking at congressional results... but I don't know which year.

Abstract: This research work presents the results of a comparative study conducted to compare the coatings properties of WC-10Co-4Cr coats produced by two different Oxy-fuel coating process; high velocity oxy-gas fuel (HVOF) and high velocity oxy-liquid fuel (HVOLF) thermal spraying techniques. The coats were deposited directly on low carbon steel substrate without bonding coats. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was performed to study microstructural analysis and to quantify the porosity and cross-sectional coat thickness. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of both coating processes were defined in terms of bond strength and micro hardness. The results show that the liquid fuel sprayed coatings (HVOLF) produced higher adhesion strength coats (~ 73 MPa) compared to (~ 68 MPa) for HVOF. Similar results observed for micro-hardness of 1255 VHN and 1032 VHN, respectively. The surface roughness and porosity were less for HVOLF 4.32μm/0.85% compared to HVOF results of 5.26μm/1.29% porosity. This superior result in coats properties of HVOLF compared to HVOF was attributed due to less decarburization in HVOLF and hence less production of hard secondary phases of W2C.

• You no longer abuse alcohol or drugs.
• Your likelihood of recidivism is low.
• Your risk of driving while under the influence of intoxicants in minimal.
• You are motivated to drive safely and within law.
• You have the ability to drive safely and within the law.
The high standard of "clear and convincing evidence" means that the evidence is substantially more likely to be true than untrue. Reaching this burden of proof is not easy and almost always requires an experienced lawyer's precision.
Driver's license restoration is a complex legal matter. The Secretary of State's office has strict and inflexible guidelines for successfully making a case. For these reasons alone, finding the right attorney is the first and most important decision in the process. As illustrated at the end of this article, Grabel & Associates has the experience, winning track record, and written guarantee that will make your decision to hire us a positive one.
A person is allowed to apply for license restoration only after the proper time frame has passed. In most cases, the eligibility date is a minimum of one year from the date on which the license was revoked. In some cases, the wait is a minimum of five years.
Once the eligibility date has been reached, the state likes to see at least six months of voluntary sobriety. These six months are in addition to the applicable revocation period (remaining sober during the revocation period is deemed mandatory and thus not voluntary by the state).
Grabel & Associates cuts to the chase by reviewing your official driving record to pinpoint the exact eligibility date. We will work with you to ensure ideal timing.
The license restoration process is administered through the Secretary of State's Office of Hearings and Administrative Oversight. Ultimately, your case will go before a hearing officer. Prior to the hearing, there is a great deal of heavy lifting to be done in the form of case preparation.
A 10-Panel Drug Screen (conducted by urinalysis) is mandated to show that you have not recently consumed alcohol or other intoxicants, including but not limited to amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, methadone, methaqualone, opioids, phencyclidine, and propoxyphene. Detection times vary for each substance; abstention is paramount. Your case cannot go forward successfully unless you show negative results on all drugs (including alcohol) tested.
The drug screen results will be reviewed by a state-licensed substance abuse counselor. This review is part of the comprehensive Substance Abuse Evaluation, in which the counselor issues a report that details the your substance abuse history, support network, and healthy coping strategies. The report is later reviewed by the hearing officer who makes the ultimate decision on restoration of the driver's license. Therefore, it is very import that the report clearly indicates a sober lifestyle free of drugs and alcohol.
The next step involves collecting Documentation of Sobriety. This documentation requires four to eight notarized letters from friends, family members, coworkers, and/or support group leaders who can attest to your sobriety. In order to be effective, these letters should contain key information such as the person's relationship to you, how long they have known you, and the last time they saw you consume drugs or alcohol. The attorneys at Grabel & Associates have vast experience working with correspondence in this format. They will expertly review each letter to ensure that it is as strong as possible.
Finally, you will need Evidence of Support that demonstrates active engagement in efforts and strategies to maintain your sobriety. Documents meeting these criteria include attendance sheets from Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Self-Management and Recovery Training (SMART) meetings. Letters from AA sponsors are especially effective since they count towards the documentation of sobriety and as evidence of support.
Once all of the above information is harnessed, it is time to Finalize the File and Request a Hearing. This crucial step requires the completion of several government forms, with exceptional attention to detail. Any errors or omissions will result in the Secretary of State's refusal to schedule a hearing, which sets the process back by months.
Typically, the hearing date is scheduled 60 to 90 days after the hearing request packet has been submitted to the Secretary of State. You will receive notification of the hearing date in the mail two to three weeks in advance.
It is at the hearing where you must prove, by clear and convincing evidence, that you have made the life changes necessary to be a safe, responsible, and sober driver. Specifically, you will need to show the hearing officer that you no longer abuse alcohol or drugs; that the likelihood of future abuse is low; that the risk of driving while under the influence of intoxicants is minimal; and that you are motivated and have the ability to drive safely and within the law.
The Secretary of State's office has different hearing officers in different regions of Michigan. Each has his/her own style of conducting public hearings. Fortunately, Grabel & Associates has experience representing clients in front of each and every hearing officer in Michigan. We know how to prepare for success regardless of which hearing officer is assigned to your case.
Once your case is heard, the Secretary of State issues a determination within four to six weeks. More often than not, Grabel & Associates gets the result that you want. We have a 97 percent success rate in driver's license restoration hearings.
Now That You Are Eligible, Can You Afford Not Driving?
Once you are eligible to apply for a driver's license restoration, it is important to do it right. If your appeal is denied, you have to wait an entire year before reapplying.
Hiring an experienced attorney is essential to your success. Grabel & Associates has specialized in this area of law for over 15 years. In addition to understanding the legal nuances of the process, we know how important a successful resolution is to you, your family, and your friends. We understand and appreciate what you are going through. We will guide you through each step of the process, making it as stress-free as possible.
• A 97 percent success rate in Driver's License Restoration Hearings.
• Familiarity with each and every hearing officer in Michigan.
• A written guarantee for our clients.
• A statewide practice. Whether you're in Monroe or Houghton, St. Joseph or Sault Ste. Marie, we have attorneys who can help you.
Making the phone call is the first step toward getting your license back. Contact us online or at our 24/7 defense hotline at 1-800-342-7896 so we can get to work helping you get your life back.
In the meantime, don't drive without a license. New tickets and criminal offenses will only complicate and delay any future restoration efforts.


A Christian who lives a faithless life doesn't deserve the name "child of God".Christianity is all about faith in God.
Today's biblical lesson is about faith. And I believe God will restore the faith of anyone who has lost his or hers in him again after reading through this article. Amen.Faith is the Christians foundation of worshiping God and his only begotten son Jesus Christ. What is faith?.Faith is the substance of things we don't see but hope to feel its manifestation in our lives.The fruit of faith is noticeable but faith itself cannot be seen.Some of the fruits of faith is healings and miracles.
In my entire Christian life,since I was born I have prayed for God to increase my faith and I could feel that, my faith gradually increases, although there comes challenges but it is good to trust God because he has said, his ways are not your ways and his thoughts are not your thoughts.He knows better than anybody and knows what is best for everyone. For a Christian to feel the power of faith in God, he should never give up on God, even unto death.
Abraham is the father of faith.He is the father of the Jewish nation.God put Abraham to test by telling him to offer burnt sacrifice of his only son Isaac for him on Mount Moriah (Genesis 22:1-34).This is one of the greatest test that has happened to anyone who had walked with God before. Just imagine,God asking you to offer your only son as a burnt sacrifice. Abraham was so grieved, but with the power of faith in God, he listened to God to offer his son as God has demanded. Finally what happened?,just before he was about to sacrifice his son, God stopped him.He has passed the test of his faith. God blessed him for his unwavering faith. His seed increased as the stars of heaven.Can any one living today have the power of faith in God like Abraham?. It is a good example for you and I to strengthen our faith in God even if it will cost our lives.
"….Daughter; be of good comfort, thy faith hath made thee whole…"(Matthew 9:20-22).
"….If ye have faith like a grain of mustard seed,ye shall say unto this mountain, remove hence unto yonder place; and it shall remove;and nothing will be impossible"(Matthew 17:20).
The above verse alone should rekindle the power of faith you have in God,should if you have lost your faith. Jesus Christ died on the cross by triumphing over all our enemies,including diseases and sickness. He has given us the power to command evil forces to leave our lives and to heal every kind of sickness. But the fuel needed to do all these miracles is "faith in God".With faith you can command every mountain of destruction in your life to leave.
"…Verily,I say to you,I have not found so great faith,no not in Israel"(Matthew 8:10).
His faith saved his sick daugther. Though we pray a lot,but we seems not to get answer. It doesn't mean we should lose the power of faith in God.Keep on believing in God and with unshaken faith like that of Abraham you will move every mountain blocking your way to success. Never lose faith in God and never stop to pray.
Christianity is all about faith,although we can't see it but we believe it shall happen as we have hoped for. Because our ancestors demonstrated the power of faith in God an it yielded something better for them.Even if our situation seems worse you should never lose faith.Have you forgotten what happened to Job?.He was a faithful servant of God,although he was very rich, but he humbled himself for God and never talked against God when he lost all his riches and children. God was happy to find out the power of faith residing in him so he blessed him abundantly by duplicating every property lost.
So to all my fellow Christians, faith is the fire that commands the spirit of God to descend to do miracles beyond human understanding, so this very fire I am talking about should burn always in our hearts.Scientists can't believe the power of faith in God, but as for us Christians, it is the greatest source of our healing,salvation and happiness. When God tests our faiths we must show steadfastness in the Lord, show unwavering faith to the end and the result would yield something bigger than our understanding. Jesus is our redeemer, he demonstrated for us to know how faith works by commanding the storm to stop, evil spirits to flee and even cursed the fig tree to wither. With faith nothing is impossible.
Now, I am hopeful this article has rekindled the power of faith you have in God.Never let it go off. Keep it burning and surely you will enjoy all the fruits of your faith in God.He will never forsake you.He is the Almighty God, the creator of heaven and earth, there is nothing too hard for him to do. What you have to show God is strong faith to move every mountain in your life aside.Jesus Christ is the rock of ages and so when you lean on him with faith, never be afraid of falling.Trust him and he will hold you and protect you from all your enemies.All those who showed faith in the bible were mere humans just like you and I so we too must show faith in God without wavering and all our needs will be given to us.I would be glad to read your comments and contributions, and please don't forget to share with friends. Let them know the importance of having the power of faith in God.Stay blessed.

The following is an excerpt from Aravind Adiga's new novel Amnesty, about a young illegal immigrant who must decide whether to report crucial information about a murder—and thereby risk deportation. Adiga is the author of the Man Booker Prize-winning novel White Tiger, as well as Selection Day, now a series on Netflix. He currently lives in Mumbai, India.
All of the coastline of Sri Lanka is indented, mysterious, and beautiful—but no place is more mysterious than Batticaloa. The city is famous for its lagoon, where extraordinary things can happen. The fish here can sing: true. Absolutely true. Place a reed to your ear, lean down from your paddleboat, and you will hear the music of the fish of the lagoon. At midnight, the water's skin breaks, and the kadal kanni, mermaids, emerge out of the lagoon dripping with moonlight.
From the time he was about four or five years old, Danny had wanted to talk to a mermaid.
From the rooftop of his school, he could look over the palm trees and brightly painted houses of his city to the spot where the many-pointed, many-lobed lagoon narrowed before flowing into a greater body of water. Just before joining the Indian Ocean, the lagoon's face burned like fire, like the unriddling of an ancient puzzle: the motto beneath his school's coat of arms. Lucet et Ardet. Translated by the gray-robed priests as Shines and Burns. (But what shines? And what burns?)
Now Danny, standing up here, understood. This lagoon shines. This lagoon burns.
He knew, as he watched the burning spot in the distance, that there was a second place where the lagoon joined the ocean; and that this spot was a secret one—hidden for most of the year, in a spot called Mugathwaram, the Face of the Portal, near the old Dutch lighthouse. Danny was sure it was there, at this hidden portal, that the kadal kanni came out into the open.
He had to wait till he was fifteen, a few years after his mother's death, to find the Face of the Portal. One Saturday, telling his father that he was going to a school picnic, he sat pillion on a friend's bicycle and went, for the first time in his life, to the old Dutch lighthouse and then beyond it, to the hidden beach, from where, he was told, you could see the second opening. When he got down from the bicycle, he was disappointed, because all he could observe in the distance was a continuous sandbar blocking this part of the lagoon: "There is no way it could flow out into the ocean here." After covering the bicycle with palm leaves so that it would not be stolen, his friend, a Tamil Christian, said: "We have to go out there, and it will appear." So he and Danny stole a boat from the lighthouse and then took turns rowing it all the way out to Mugathwaram. They drew nearer and nearer, beneath them the music from the fish grew louder and louder, and then it happened: the sandbar parted, its unity revealed to be an optical illusion, and now a gap of meters showed between the two arms of sand.
The Portal had opened.
In the middle of the gap gleamed the magic island of Mugathwaram, coral- and jellyfish-encrusted, on which the two boys alighted to watch—as cormorants, red-breasted sea eagles, broad-winged pelicans circled over their heads—the meeting and churning of waters. Currents of the lagoon flowing out and those of the Indian Ocean flowing in neutralized each other, producing an illusion of perfect stillness in the water: a solitary white egret stood with one black foot in the spot, to mark the gateway to the world. Danny knew he had guessed right. This was where the kadal kanni were most likely to come up. Sitting side by side, he and the Christian friend waited for a mermaid. The tide began to rise, and the boat they had brought began to rock. The light dimmed; the ocean had become the color of old family silver. By now his father, who expected him home at five-thirty every evening to begin his homework, would be sitting outside with a rattan cane. Danny waited. He had a friend by his side; he was not frightened. They were not going back without talking to a mermaid.
Housecleaner, Danny was about to reply, sixty dollars an hour, but instead smiled at the woman.
Strapped to his back was what resembled an astronaut's jet-booster—a silver canister with a blue rubber nozzle peeping out and scarlet loops of wire wrapped around it—but it was just a portable vacuum cleaner, Turbo Model E, Super Suction, acquired a year ago at Kmart for seventy-nine dollars. In his right hand, a plastic bag with the tools of his trade.
"I asked," repeated the Australian woman, "what are you?"
Maybe, Danny thought, she's annoyed by the golden highlights in my hair. He sniffled. From the outside Danny's nose looked straight, but from the inside it was broken; a doctor had informed him when he was a boy that he was the proud owner of a deviated septum. Maybe the woman was referring to it.
"Australian," he hazarded.
"No, you're not," she replied. "You're a perfectionist."
Only now did she indicate, by pointing with a finger, that she was talking about his way of having breakfast.
In his left hand was a half-eaten cheese roll, which he'd made himself while walking by opening a packet of Black & Gold $2.25-for-ten cheese slices that he'd brought with him along with his cleaning equipment, and placing two slices in the middle of a sixty-cent wholemeal bun—and then the woman, who had apparently been observing him combine things into a sandwich and take a bite out of it, had made these remarks to him.
Shifting his vacuum on his back, Danny chewed and examined what was left of his self-made cheese roll and looked at the Australian woman.
So this is why I have, he thought, become visible. Because my way of eating bothers her. After four years, he was still learning things, still making notes to himself: Never walk and eat in daylight. They see you.
Now talk your way out of this, Dhananjaya. Maybe you should say: I used to do the triple jump in school. Hop, skip, and leap? Same way: plan, eat, and walk. I do these things all at once.
Or maybe a story was needed, a quick but moving story: My father always said no, I couldn't eat while walking, so now it's a form of rebellion.
Sometimes, though, with white people, all you have to do is start thinking, and that's enough. Like in a jungle, when you find a tiger in your path, how you're supposed to hold your breath and stare back. They go away.
Although she certainly appeared to be going away, the woman suddenly changed her mind and turned back to shout: "That's irony, mate. What I just said about you being a perfectionist."
Did she mean, thought Danny as he finished the sandwich on his way to the end of Glebe Point Road, from where he would take a left and walk up to Central Station, that I don't do anything well?
His forehead was furrowed now with the woman's word: irony. Danny knew what the dictionary said it meant. In practice,
he had noted, its uses were more diverse, slippery, and usually connected to a desire to give offense with words. Irony.
So by calling me a perfectionist, she must have meant . . . Fuck her. I like eating like this.
Danny made himself another sandwich on his way to Central, and then a third one on the platform, as he waited for the 8:35 train to St. Peters Station.
His five-foot-seven body looked like it had been expertly packed into itself, and even when he was doing hard physical labor his gaze was dreamy, as if he owned a farm somewhere far away. With an elegant oval jaw, and that long, thin forehead's suggestion of bookishness, he was not, except when he smiled and exhibited cracked teeth, an overseas threat. On his left forearm a bump, something he had not been born with, showed prominently, and he had let his third fingernail on the right hand grow long and opalescent. His hair had fresh highlights of gold in it.
The train was nearly full. Danny had a seat by a window. Stroking his fingers through his golden hair, for which he had paid $47.50 at a barbershop in Glebe, he became aware that he was being watched and turned toward the Asian man with the black-and-white shopping bag.
The man was looking not at Danny but at his backpack. Even worse.
An astronaut faced growing competition these days, it was a fact. Two-man, three-man Chinese teams were spreading over Sydney offering the same service, at the same price, in half the time. And let's not even talk about the Nepalis. Four men at the price of one.
That's why Danny came with his own stuff. He had invested his capital. In addition to the portable vacuum on his back, he carried, in a plastic bag, a paper roll, disposable pads, a foam spray that he used on glass, and a fire-alarm-red rubber pump that would suck the problems from any toilet bowl. Sure, every home keeps a vacuum and brushes and sprays in a closet somewhere, but a cleaner impresses with his autonomy.
Aussies are a logical people, a methodical people.
Also in his plastic bag: a small but thorny potted plant with care instructions stuck into the dirt (I AM A CACTUS ), which he had bought for $3.80 from a woman who sat next to the park in Glebe, and which he planned to give someone later in the day.
A surprise gift.
At Erskineville Station, the Asian man stood up with his shopping bag just before the glass door opened, and Danny knew he was not a rival. That black-and-white bag did not have a portable vacuum inside. This was just a busybody on the train.
Stretching back, running his fingers through his hair, Danny sniffed them to check if the scent of the dye they used at the barbershop was still detectable—nasty stuff—and then raised his fingers to his scalp to stroke himself again.
Legendary.
He remembered the way Sonja's eyes lit up when she saw his hair. "Weird." That was what she'd said. That was a compliment. Because people in Australia were famished for what was weird, self-assuredly weird, even belligerently weird: like a Tamil man with golden highlights in his hair. A minority. And once you found out what that word minority means over here, tasted the intoxicant of being wanted because you were not like everyone else, how could anyone possibly tell you to go back to Sri Lanka and once again live as a minority over there?
To celebrate his golden head of hair, Sonja had made dinner in Parramatta the previous night, and Danny had kept looking at her as he ate, refreshing his vision of himself through her vision of him.
I'm here in Australia, he thought. I'm almost here.
True, after the flush of triumph following the first night in bed with Sonja, which was also his first time with someone not Tamil, he was confused by the idea of seeing the vegan Vietnamese girl again. He'd always thought that like marries like. How do you end up with a woman who doesn't speak Tamil, or know a thing about your heritage? Danny reconciled himself to love. There were precedents at hand. In Malaysia, for instance, so many Chinese-Tamil marriages had taken place. Not that Sonja was Chinese, of course, but he was just saying. These half-Tamil/ half-Chinese children did very well in life. One of them had come to Batticaloa for a summer. He lived like a millionaire.
A root of a banyan tree, in a village near Batticaloa, burst through the corrugated tin shed protecting the grave of a pir, a Muslim saint, and touched his green cement grave like a giant's finger: here on this new continent, Danny remembered that transgressing banyan root, remembered it like one who knew that life had not yet expanded sufficiently through him or through his body.
So he met her again, and then again, and their relationship was now into its second year.
Sonja believed in things. Veganism. Socialism. LGBT rights. Political views. The developers control the Labor Party, yes, but the developers are the Liberal Party. Do you see the difference, Danny? Some of these things Danny didn't even understand, but he knew Sonja stood on them. Her Beliefs. He liked that about her. He also liked that her place in Parramatta had a spare room. After dinner, Danny went over there and sat by the duvet on the bed, playing with the table lamp, while shouting answers to the questions she asked from the kitchen.
"Yes! Vocational enrichment! I will investigate evening classes at the TAFE! You are so right, Sonja! Cleaning is not enough!"
Maybe she got the hint. Maybe she'd invite him to live in the spare room.
This morning she had called him just before starting work at the hospital—reminding him, ostensibly, to buy the cactus, but he knew it was just to hear his voice—and when she had asked, "What is your plan for this week?," for she believed that everyone needed a plan, both for life and for each of its individual weeks, Danny had replied: "The average weekly take-home pay, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, is one thousand one hundred—" "That's not what I meant," she had said, laughing. "I meant what is your plan for this week regarding seeing me?"
He got up. Shifting the weight of the canister on his back, he stood by the glass door. He checked the time on his phone: its back had fallen off, and Danny had used Band-Aids to strap the battery into place. The display glass was cracked, an accident, and the time was four minutes fast, by design. The goal was to alternate anxiety—late late late—with relief—four extra minutes, remember, four extra—a pattern that intensified Danny's sense of duty.
Hissing hydraulically, the glass doors opened at St. Peters Station. Danny hefted his plastic bag and stepped out onto the platform.
Another workday began.
Four dark steel-rimmed chimney stacks, like Egyptian obelisks, rose right outside the station, as if declaring, This Is Where It Ends—though in truth it did not end here, there, or anywhere—always expanding, this city of Sydney, except for those people for whom it was always contracting. Danny walked. He saw, behind suburban fences, tropical plantains, begonia leaves whose undersides were as red as the tongue of a man chewing betel juice, and frangipani trees whose white petals, fallen over the pavement, partially covered handwritten signs in chalk—ABSOLUTELY NO FREE PARKING HERE— PLEASE PLEASE ELIMINATE CHILDHOOD CANCER. Peeping through the charcoal-colored slats, a pitbull terrier, guardian of the secrets of white people, growled.
Danny sneezed. A blue mist sat in the trees like on a throne and the smell of smoke was everywhere: he guessed at once there was a fire in the mountains. Tonight on TV news, they would say: Bushfires that began last night near Blackheath are being put out right now, though we might smell the smoke for days in parts of the city. He walked by a parked car inside which he observed a pink rubber shark, a newspaper dedicated to racing and betting, and a lovely relic, a mounted globe, the kind that the supervillain flips on a finger. Danny had stooped before the globe, searching for
Sri Lanka, when from behind, someone—
—said something.
He turned but found nothing human there.
A plane flew low and loud over the suburb, passing from one building to another, the red Qantas logo appearing and disappearing.
A pair of broken classical columns had been deposited by the next gray fence; and next to the columns lay a decapitated cement statue, which represented, Danny felt, one of those gods that white people worshipped before Jesus. With the hint of smoke in the air, it was as if this Sydney suburb had summarized centuries of ruination in a night. Danny looked at the statue, wondering if it would make a good gift for Sonja, a better one than the $3.80 cactus he had in his plastic bag, when he heard it again.
It was a brown man's voice.
Walking around the fence, Danny saw the owner of the voice in the garden. He was wearing a gray mover's uniform, phone wedged against his right shoulder, and talking, as he ripped cardboard sheets apart with casual power. Each thrust of his brutal forelimbs said: I am here, Australians. Whether you see me or not, standing right here.
Stopping his work, the muscular man dropped the cardboard and looked at Danny as if he meant to speak to him.
This brown man was Javanese or Malaysian, surely—not one of ours.
Before Danny could say anything, the muscular man turned to the right, shifted about as if finding a direction, then got down on his knees and closed his eyes. His lips moved. After turning his face from side to side, the brown man began to touch his head to the pavement while saying something. Ah. He's praying, realized Danny. He was looking at me to see if I was a Muslim too and wanted to join him.
Some human bodies generate time from within them. Like this man's, right now. All the ticking hands in Sydney were being reset to his heart.
They did it five times a day, didn't they?
So is this the second or the third? Danny wanted to ask as the praying man turned his face from side to side before touching his forehead to the earth again.
An angel with a red-and-green tail materialized over their heads: when Danny looked up, he saw that it was, appropriately enough, an Emirates flight. Sydney airport was not far away.
He sneezed again, and wondered if he had disturbed the praying man.
With a final look at the Indonesian, who, done with his prayer, was again handling furniture, Danny moved.
Thirty-six Flora Street rose above its neighbors, a three-story brick building, bare and basic, built for young professionals. Danny divided Sydney into two kinds of suburbs—thick bum, where the working classes lived, ate badly, and cleaned for themselves; and thin bum, where the fit and young people ate salads and jogged a lot but almost never cleaned their own homes. Erskineville was in the second category. In a suburb like this, a building like 36 Flora Street, with fifteen or twenty units, was a honeypot for a weekly cleaner. Danny sometimes couldn't believe he had just one regular job here.
First, the key.
A man could break into half the homes in Erskineville just by looking under the doormat or behind the second flowerpot. Here, the key was left someplace even more obvious. Danny raised the broken lid of the mauve mailbox and removed a shiny silver object from it.
Then he entered 36 Flora Street and ran up the stairs.

The European Union (EU) confirms its commitment to Yemen by providing EUR 25 million (nearly USD 27 million) to support the vulnerable Yemeni people affected by the devastating conflict.
The project, to be implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and local communities, will help struggling households to earn income to buy food and other essentials; keep some of the remaining healthcare facilities open and provide more psychosocial support to affected civilians.
The EU and UNDP will work together across the 21 governorates and one municipality in Yemen, in response to the latest conflict.
For more than two years, UNDP has worked with communities affected by the growing humanitarian crisis, including through projects to increase food production; support small and micro-businesses; train women as community health and nutrition workers and train NGO staff on working in conflict contexts.
UNDP Country Director in Yemen, Auke Lootsma, said Yemen already had high levels of poverty before the conflict, and the crisis had pushed the resilience of Yemenis to the limit and beyond.
"With the much-needed help of the EU, UNDP is complementing the ongoing humanitarian response in Yemen by enrolling the poorest families in cash-for-work activities so they can afford to buy food, water and medicines," Mr Lootsma said.
"Yemen is among the largest forgotten crises in world, with a looming famine and devastating cholera outbreak.
Antonia Calvo Puerta, European Union Ambassador for Yemen, said: "The protracted nature of the crisis, and the fact that it is severely affecting the majority of the population, is putting immense pressure on the international community, which is called to ensure a response at scale.

Canon John O'Toole Appointed Episcopal Vicar for Kent
Has Worked at Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales Since 2015
January 13, 2020 16:23Jim FairLocal Church
The Most Reverend John Wilson, Archbishop of Southwark, England, has appointed Canon John O'Toole to the role of Episcopal Vicar for Kent until a new Auxiliary Bishop for the archdiocese is appointed by the Holy See.
Canon O'Toole has worked at the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales since January 2015 serving as National Ecumenical Officer and Secretary to the Department for Dialogue and Unity.
Archbishop Wilson asked the clergy and faithful of the archdiocese to support Canon O'Toole in his new role and to keep him in their prayers:
"Canon John brings a wealth of experience to this new role, which he will take up at the beginning of February 2020. He has also fostered warm and fruitful dialogue with members of other Christian traditions and people of other faiths in his role at the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales. I ask you to support him in his new role and to keep him in your prayers.
"I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Monsignor Matthew Dickens for his selfless service for the people in Kent. Monsignor Matthew was asked by Archbishop Peter to take on responsibility for Kent following the departure of Bishop Paul Mason, in addition to his other duties as Vicar General. I am most grateful to Monsignor Matthew for his generosity."
Canon O'Toole is soon to complete his five-year term of office at the Bishops' Conference.

Encyclopedia > Kurosawa Akira
Redirected from Kurosawa Akira
KUROSAWA Akira (黒澤 明, March 23, 1910- September 6, 1998) was a prominent Japanese director, producer, and screenwriter of movies.
Kurosawa is perhaps Japan's best-known filmmaker. His films have been influential on a whole generation of filmmakers worldwide. His first film was released in 1941; his last in 1999 (posthumously). Few filmmakers have had a career so long or so acclaimed.
Kurosawa was born March 23, 1910, in Omori, Tokyo. During his lifetime he saw Japan change from an undeveloped country with military ambitions to a peaceful economic power. Although he is most remembered for his films of the 1950s and 1960s, he continued to direct and write films until his death. He died September 6, 1998, in Setagaya, Tokyo.
Kurosawa's best-known films are set in Japan's feudal period (about 13th century-17th century). Many of his plots are adaptations of William Shakespeare's works, for example, Ran (based on King Lear) and Throne of Blood (based on Macbeth). The Hidden Fortress (1958, Japanese name Kakushi toride no san akunin), the tale of a princess, her general, and two buffoon farmers, is credited by George Lucas as an influence on his Star Wars films. Other films include Rashomon, The Seven Samurai (later remade as the Western The Magnificent Seven) and Yojimbo (the basis for the Clint Eastwood western, A Fistful of Dollars[?]). Kurosawa also directed film adaptations of Russian novels, including The Idiot[?] by Dostoevsky and The Lower Depths[?], and American crime fiction in High and Low (based on an Ed McBain[?] novel). Sixteen of his films, made between 1948 and 1964, recurrently feature the same actors, notably Toshiro Mifune, with whom he did not work after Red Beard, made in 1964. After that film Kurosawa began working in colour and changed the style and scope of his films, which had formerly tended toward the epic. His subsequent film Dodesukaden[?], about a group of poor people living around a rubbish dump, was not a success. Kurosawa then began work on a Hollywood project, Tora! Tora! Tora! but 20th Century Fox replaced him with Kinji Fukasaku[?] before it was completed.
After this Kurosawa attempted suicide, but survived. He went on to make several more films: Dersu Uzala[?], made in the USSR and set in Siberia in the early 20th century, Kagemusha[?], the story of a man who is the double of a medieval Japanese lord and takes over his identity, Ran, Kurosawa's Dreams, Rhapsody in August[?] and Madadayo[?].
His works include:
Rashomon (movie)
Madadayo[?]
The Seven Samurai

A Traditional British Christmas Dinner
December 15, 2016 December 15, 2016 David James Christmas, traditions
British Food Culture
If we were to run a poll on what Britons would be eating for Christmas Dinner this year, there's a good chance turkey would be at the top of the list.
But did you know that it took centuries for turkey to become the main course?
Legend has it that King Henry VIII was the first English monarch to enjoy turkey on Christmas Day.
So keep your head about you and do as kings do—tuck into the turkey!

In medieval England, the wealthy dined on goose, woodcock, venison, and with the king's permission, swan.
If the poor folk were lucky, they might get some of the "pluck" from the venison—the heart, liver, tongue and brain.
Known as 'umbles, it would be mixed with vegetables and spices and made into a pie.
Ever heard the expression "to eat humble pie"? This is where it comes from.
For dessert, the medieval folk would have enjoyed a pudding made from spiced oatmeal, currants, dried fruit, and egg yolk.
It was the forerunner to our perennial favourite, the Christmas Pudding.

By the time Queen Elizabeth I came along, people were feasting on sweetmeats, including collops (slices) of bacon, coated with ground almonds and sugar.
Sounding more like something you'd choke on was a beverage called "lambswool".
It was made from hot cider or ale, nutmeg, ginger, and mashed baked apple.
Lambswool Drink. Credit Oakden Traditional Cookware
When the baked apple mash was whisked or poured vigorously between two large vessels, it created a froth resembling lambswool.
Next crown the bowl full
With gentle Lambs wool,
Add sugar, nutmeg, and ginger,
With store of ale too,
And thus ye must do
To make the Wassail a swinger
'Oxford Night Caps', by Richard Cook, Published 1835
For Georgians of the 18th and early 19th centuries, Twelfth Night on January 5 was a highlight of the Christmas festivities.
It was celebrated with Twelfth Cake, a precursor to our modern Christmas Cake, which traditionally included a dried bean and a dried pea.
Christmas Cake. Credit James Petts, flickr
As part of the fun and games on Twelfth Night, the man who had the slice with the bean was made King for the evening, and the woman whose slice contained the pea was crowned Queen.
During the earlier years of Queen Victoria's reign, most families couldn't afford turkey at Christmas so made do with beef (in the north) and goose (in the south).
Poorer folks caught their own rabbits.
Catching Rabbits by William Sidney Mount, 1839
In Charles Dickens' story A Christmas Carol, it would have been very unusual indeed for someone in Bob Cratchit's position to receive such a large turkey on Christmas Day.
"It was a Turkey" by Charles Edmund Brock. Credit Philip V. Allingham
Our seasonal favorite mince pies were originally made from meat, but tastes changed in the latter half of the 19th century to the spiced fruit filling that we prefer today—even though we still call it "mincemeat".

By the turn of the 20th century, most people were feasting on turkey for Christmas dinner.
And it has remained the most popular Christmas main course ever since.

MainAll NewsDefense/Middle EastSix Kassam Rockets Fired Towards Sderot
Six Kassam Rockets Fired Towards Sderot
At least three have been found: One landed outside Sderot, one landed near the Gaza border fence, and another fell near a Kibbutz. No one was hurt. 19 Kassams have been fired in a week.
Hillel Fendel, 12/02/07 12:43 | updated: 13:10
A Fatah-affiliated terrorist group claimed responsibility for today's rockets.
On Sunday morning, a Kassam crashed down near Sderot, while four landed on Friday. Two were fired on Thursday, and six last Tuesday.
Residents say that miraculously, no one was physically hurt in these attacks.
Sarah Sasson, a young mother living in Sderot, told Maariv's Moshe Priel this morning, "When I heard the explosions, I jumped in my usual fashion to protect the children. Unfortunately, we are quite used to this. The situation is catastrophic, and I fear that it will just get worse as Hamas gets stronger, and also with the government's failure in the Mughrabi Gate in Jerusalem."
The area of the western Negev, and particularly the city of Sderot, have been in the sights of Kassam missile launchers for five years, almost to the day. On Feb. 10, 2002, for the first time, a Kassam-2 rocket was fired towards Kibbutz Saad, and another landed close by in Moshav Shuva. Kassams continued to be fired over the ensuing days as well.
Several months earlier, in April 2001, the city of Sderot was hit by three Palestinian-fired 82mm mortar shells. No one was hurt and no damage was caused, but it was the furthest inside the Green Line that Palestinian mortar shells had hit up to that day.

Beforeigners
In the near future a new phenomenon starts happening all over the world with powerful flashes of light occurring in the ocean and people from the past mysteriously reappearing. Called "beforeigners," these people come from three separate time periods: the Stone Age, the Viking era and late 19th century. A couple of years later, Alfhildr – who comes from the Viking Age – has to partner up with a burned-out police officer, Lars Haaland, to investigate the murder of a beforeigner. The pair begins to unravel a larger conspiracy behind the origin of the mysterious mass arrivals.

Frank Tagliano (Steven Van Zandt), is a former member of the New York mob. After testifying in a trial in the United States, Tagliano is relocated to Lillehammer in Norway through the FBI's witness protection program. Frank Tagliano was intrigued by Lillehammer when he saw television images of the Winter Olympics in 1994, and therefore chooses to start his new life there. The transition from being a feared and respected gangster in New York, to become an unemployed immigrant in Norway, is not simple. Frank discovers that to get up and in the Norwegian rural society, he must resort to the old, ruthless methods.
The spelling of the series title alludes to Tagliano's dog Lily, and the way that Frank and some other anglophones pronounce the town's name.

SUMMER OF '77
August 15, 2007 | 9:00am
Remember the sizzling, scintillating summer of 1977 when Billy Martin's Yankees stormed past the Red Sox and went on to capture their first World Championship in 15 years by beating the Dodgers in six games as Reggie Jackson blasted three home runs in the grand finale?
In this series, The Post takes you back 30 years to one of the greatest seasons in Yankee history.
NOW that he's approaching the September of his first year with the Yankees, Reggie Jackson says he has two specific regrets.
Jackson, who drove in three runs in the Yankees' 15-3 victory over the Angels yesterday, would like to have begun the year by being "very, very quiet in spring training, and I would have shaken everybody's hand after that home run. Those are the only two things I would have done differently."
Had he been quiet in training camp, there never would have been the Sport Magazine story that prompted the feud with Thurman Munson. And had he shaken his teammates' hands instead of offending them by trotting to the other end of the dugout against the Red Sox in May, there could have been a more unified Yankee team fighting to overtake the Bosox and the Orioles in the East Division pennant race.
There has been a slew of other conflicts and other incidents, but maybe the steady thrill of victory that the Yankees have experienced lately will help them overcome.
Plenty of updates

On the way to Mount Sharp - Sol 717
Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech - MER Curiosity - Credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga/LXTT/IPF
This frame, taken by the NASA - Mars Exploration Rover (MER) - Mars Laboratory - Curiosity, looks down the "Ramp" located at the North/Eastern end of "Hidden Valley", and across the Sandy-floored Valley which takes to the lower Slopes of Mount Sharp (visible on the Horizon, to the left - Sx - of the picture).
Curiosity used its Navigation Camera (or "NavCam", for short) to capture this Southward View of the Landscape during the 717th Martian Day, or Sol, of the Rover's work at Gale Crater - Mars (such as August, 12, 2014 on Earth). By that date, Curiosity had already entered and exited the Valley via the aforementioned "Ramp". The Rover, subsequently (---> afterwards), descended the Ramp-Partway to approach a pale Outcrop bearing a candidate Rock for drilling. The drilling candidate, called "Bonanza King", is just outside of this view, closer to the Rover than the foreground of the scene. For scale, the distance between the parallel pairs of Curiosity's Wheel Tracks left on the Floor of this area of Gale Crater is about 9 feet (such as approx. 2,743 meters).
This picture (which is an Original b/w Image taken by the NASA - Mars Exploration Rover (MER) - Mars Laboratory "Curiosity" on August, 12, 2014, published on the NASA - Planetary Photojournal and identified by the ID n. PIA 18599) has been additionally processed, magnified in order to help the visibility of the Landscape's details, Gamma corrected and then colorized in Absolute Natural Colors (such as the colors that a normal - meaning "in the average" - human eye would actually perceive if someone were on the Surface of Mars, near the NASA - Mars Exploration Rover (MER) - Mars Laboratory "Curiosity", and then looked ahead, towards the Horizon and the Lower Slopes of Mount Sharp), by using an original technique created - and, in time, dramatically improved - by the Lunar Explorer Italia Team.

Lastest Album
THE MUSIC OF COLE PORTER WITHOUT WORDS
The music of Cole Porter has been loved by generations across the globe. He was one of the rare composers who wrote both melody and lyrics, and as such you often hear his compositions with these two components married together. As an instrumentalist, I have always adored the melodies and the harmonies that Cole Porter wrote. This album is a celebration of some of those melodies - without the words.
Every track has been arranged based on the original structure, progressions and musical intent - with a few alterations to suit the playing style of both Glenn Amer and Vov Dylan.
Recorded at Underwood Studios in Sydney's Blue Mountains the audio experience for the listener is meant to be an intimate one, as if you were popping a bottle of champagne and having Glenn and myself in your living room and serenading you with these melodies.
Mischievous, charismatic, bubbling with energy all in a short concert. I was on the edge of my seat and constantly surprised by your engaging performance.
Vov Dylan turned out to be a young, extraordinarily talented Violinist, whose ability, personality and stage presence is a match for Andre Rieu....
Vov Dylan was born to be a violinist. His very soul yearns for the feel of the bow in hand, delicately crafting the friction of strings into a melodic masterpiece.
If YOU love the different styles of music which can be produced on a violin – whether it be the smooth sounds of Andre Rieu or the red-hot country licks of Charlie Daniels – you will enjoy listening to the world's fastest violinist, Vov Dylan - the World's Fastest Violinist!!
The sellout artist continues to set a standard that fellow Violinists struggle to match.
Violinist extraordinaire!
